Well I have had my Mini for about 2 weeks now.
Can't tell you how pleased I am with it.
It took a while to get the electronics from Dogtra - but we special ordered the transmitter and reciever to work with another Dogtra unit we already have on a member of our training group's Max 7000. It took about 2 weeks to get it all in - but we can use either transmitter to set off both machines.
Mini is great - easy for me to carry even without a 4 wheeler. Sets up in a minute of two. and has work flawlessly. Everything is top quality. Elsewhere on this board people have mentioned other throwers that have cheap pulleys - NOT SO WITH THE MINI. These pulleys are like a work of art. Very smooth.
We have had some difficulty extracting .22 nail gun loads - have to use a leatherman to get them out. I am sure that reqular 22 blanks would be easier.
But just recently tried 209 primers and they work great - the explosion ejects them automaticly. Just about as loud and all you got to do in put a new one in.
My wife loves the machine and will train with me now. She used to be scared to go out because she might have a bad throw. Now she does not have to worry about that and she really enjoys it. So I also got a new training partner out of the deal.
PS - now that we can throw birds with the Mini - the Max 7000 spends alot of time sitting in my buddys truck

They march at various small Church Parades during July, but their main marches occur throughout Northern Ireland on the 12th of July to mark a key battle in 1690. The 12th of July is a public holiday in Northern Ireland. In the Irish Republic, a few marches occur on the weekend before the 12th. The Orange Order has lodges in Ireland (esp. Ulster), Scotland, England, Canada and in various parts of Africa.
It might be imagined that the AOH and the Orange Order don't get along especially well. Although nowadays, that might be true in some areas, in the recent past the two groups co-operated. Drums and other instruments were shared (being painted up for the relevant orders between parades) and AOH members would mind the livestock of rural Orangemen during their parades in return of reciprocal help during their St. Patrick's Day parades.

Skinny Dips: 60 Recipes for Dips, Spreads, Chips, and Salsas on the Lighter Side of Delicious by Diane Morgan includes recipes like Green Mango Salsa; Curry Pumpkin Hummus; and Italian Fava Bean Purée with Dandelion Greens.
Makes 2-1/2 cups (600ml)
Dried fava/broad beans are meaty, nutty, and incredibly flavorful, as well as a powerhouse of protein, fiber, and iron. This coarse purée, topped with wilted greens, is a classic throughout southern Italy.
I used red-stemmed dandelion greens from the farmers' market to top this dip, but you could use other greens such as Swiss chard, curly endive, broccoli rabe (also known as rapini), or beet greens. Traditionally, the purée is swirled in the bowl to create a few moats that can hold a spoonful of olive oil; I skip this final flourish in order to keep the dip skinny, but you're welcome to drizzle a little extra-virgin olive oil on top.
1. Place the fava/broad beans in a medium bowl, cover with water to a depth of 2in/5cm. And allow the beans to soak overnight.
2. Drain the beans and transfer them to a 4-qt/4-L saucepan. Add 5 cups/1.2 L of water. along with the garlic and thyme. Partially cover the pot and bring the beans to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook the beans, partially covered, at a bare simmer for 15 minutes. Add 1 tsp of the salt and continue to cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very soft and partially broken down and can be easily mashed, about 1-1/2 hours. (Check the water level from time to time. Add a little more water, if necessary.)
3. Remove from the heat. Drain the beans, reserving the cooking liquid. Using a food mill or a potato masher, finely mash the beans. Stir in 3 tbsp of the olive oil and 1-1/2 tsp of the salt. Add a tablespoon or so of the reserved cooking liquid, if needed, to give the purée a spreadable consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Transfer to a shallow serving dish and set aside.
4. In a 10-in/25-cm sauté pan, preferably nonstick, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Swirl to coat the pan and add the dandelion greens. Sauté, stirring constantly, until the greens are wilted and tender, about 4 minutes. Season with the remaining 1-1/2 tsp of salt, the crushed red pepper, and a little ground pepper. Arrange the greens in the center of the fava bean purée and serve immediately.
Dip Do-Ahead: This dip can be prepared up to 1 day In advance. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before serving. The greens can be cleaned, chopped, wrapped in paper towels/absorbent paper and placed inside a lock-top plastic bag up to 1 day in advance.
The greens are best when sautéed within 1 hour of serving.

For those of you yet to take lunch, we think it's the perfect time for a hunger-inducing stat of the day. The Daily tells us, in a profile of healthy pizza purveyor Naked Pizza, that the United States pizza industry "serves about 100 acres of pizza a day." This figure comes from the National Association of Pizza Operators, an organization that aims "to create and foster a community of independent and small chain pizzeria operators and their industry suppliers where doing business with one another is mutually beneficial." According to a survey by the American Customer Satisfaction Index, when it comes to eating fast food, Americans are much more satisfied by pizza than burgers, turning to Pizza Hut as their preferred fast pizza vendor of choice.

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.
Christians who speak out and stand up for traditional marriage are more likely than ever to be persecuted and even prosecuted for it.
That's because of how the majority at the U.S. Supreme Court wrote their June 26 pro-gay marriage rulings.
The high court majority attacked the motives of those who came up with the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996. DOMA enshrined traditional marriage in federal law and prevented federal benefits from going to same-sex couples.
"The avowed purpose and practical effect of the law here in question are to impose a disadvantage, a separate status, and so a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the United States v. Windsor ruling.
"DOMA writes inequality into the entire United States Code," he added.
According to Ken Klukowski, director of the Center for Religious Liberty, the rationale for this ruling basically undermined the motive of those for traditional marriage only.
"The court said that the federal Defense of Marriage Act is literally irrational, that it was just the fruit of bigotry and beknighted souls rather than the thoughtful actions of elected, national leaders," he said.
Rep. Gerald Nadler, D-N.Y., agreed with Justice Kennedy, summing up the majority's judgment of DOMA as being "motivated by animus."
"Animus means hatred and discrimination," the New York lawmaker said. "It says there was no conceivable legitimate purpose of the law."
DOMA passed in Congress with huge majorities, but Klukowski said the high court has now decided "that 85 percent of Congress in passing it and Democratic President Bill Clinton signing it into law were not motivated by any sound reason, by any rational thought whatsoever, that they were motivated either by ignorance or by hostility."
Stage Set for Persecution?
Such talk by the nation's highest court will likely propel pro-homosexual rights groups and pro-gay government officials to go after backers of traditional marriage harder than ever.
"There's absolutely a growing threat under this administration and under this court," Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, told CBN News.
"I think what Justice Kennedy did in his opinion was basically assign a false motive to those who are opposed to the redefinition of natural marriage, acting as if they were a threat to people, therefore declaring open season," Perkins stated.
"And I think you will see open hostility, increasing open hostility," he predicted. "I mean, we've seen very recent gay pride events where there were Christians beaten because they took a stand for biblical morality."
Thomas Peters, communications director for the National Organization for Marriage, says up until now, action against traditional marriage backers has mostly come at the state level, and cases have been piling up in recent years.
Peters listed some.
"The Colorado baker who right now could spend a year in jail for refusing to give a wedding cake to a gay ceremony, or the town clerks in New York who had to resign their jobs because they simply asked that someone else in the office would sign the same-sex marriage licenses so that they wouldn't have to do it," he said.
"Or the wedding photographer in New Mexico who's been fined thousands of dollars simply for saying she didn't want to photograph a gay ceremony," he continued.
There's likely to be much more of this kind of legal action if America's neighbor to the north can serve as an example. Same-sex marriage came to Canada in 2005. In a recent five-year period there, 200 to 300 cases against opponents of gay marriage were brought before courts, human rights commissions, and employment boards.
Now, Perkins expects a steep rise in cases across the United States and he said that's going to have a major impact on America.
"This is about fundamentally altering the American society," Perkins stated, "loss of religious freedom, loss of parental rights, employers—bakers, photographers, florists—being forced to participate by threat of law in same-sex marriages."
Florist Refuses Gay Couple
One such florist in Washington state has made national news. In March, Barronelle Stutzman refused to supply the flowers for the gay wedding of longtime customers Curt Freed and Robert Ingersoll because of her Christian beliefs.
Freed and Ingersoll weren't going to take any legal actions, but Washington's state attorney general went after Stutzman anyway.
Peters summed up Stutzman's case.
"She said, 'I will happily serve you as individuals, but I don't believe in gay weddings, so I'm not going to do your wedding ceremony,'" he said. "The attorney general and the ACLU colluded to sue her with civil and criminal penalties. This is just a gross overreach of power."
In state after state that's voted to legalize gay marriage, religious opponents have been promised they wouldn't face legal action because of their opposition.
But Peters said of the legal action against Stutzman, "It's exactly what the same officials promised would never, ever happen if you redefined marriage. We saw only a few months later those promises meant nothing."
Gay Activists: Passivity = Bigotry
Peters and Perkins point out these days the most active of gay rights activists demand affirmation from everyone in society. And these activists suggest it's anti-gay to do anything less than show full support for them.
Standing outside the U.S. Supreme Court after its pro-gay marriage rulings in June, Chad Griffin, with the leading homosexual rights group the Human Rights Campaign, stated, "At this moment, apathy and passivity are no better than bigotry."
For instance, an email went to Department of Justice managers this spring saying they should display a gay pride symbol in their office. It instructed when it comes to gays, "Don't judge or remain silent. Silence will be interpreted as disapproval."
Many worry what will happen to federal workers who believe homosexuality is unbiblical. Some military members have already run into trouble.
Retired Col. Ron Crews, a former chaplain, told CBN News of two Christians having Bible study in their Post Exchange food court, reading Romans 1—a chapter that condemns homosexual behavior.
"Two tables over, a soldier heard them, came up to them and started cursing at them for talking 'about him,'" Crews said. "And then called an MP over, wanted to reprimand them for talking 'about him,' while all they were doing was reading Scripture."
Crews talked to an Air Force officer who'd had a Bible on his desk for 23 years with no complaints from anyone—until he arrived at a new location.
"His superior officer told him, 'You cannot put your Bible on the desk because it may offend someone,'" Crews said.
A Blow to Military Readiness?
Retired Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, a former Delta Force commander who's now executive vice president of the Family Research Council, warned the military depends on patriotic people of faith to fill its ranks.
"When young men and women across America are told that they must leave their faith at the door when they come into our military, they will not be allowed to practice their faith—then they're not going to come into our military," Boykin said. "And our military readiness will decline as a result of it."
Peters added that even civilian pastors could face trouble in the future if they serve as civil ministers marrying couples and they won't do gay weddings.
"In the same way that tax status could be threatened," Peters said, "ministerial exemptions could be threatened as well if we continue to embed this false idea into law that standing for marriage equates with bigotry."

People have said most of the popular candy-ish fragrances, but I just want to add:
Nina Ricci Nina Fantasy - Smells like sweet bubblegum candy!
Gianfranco Ferre In The Mood For Love
Christina Aguilera Royal Desire but this is more grown up and I love it, its listed by me cause it has pink sugar or canded sugar as note
Vera Wang Princess This one smells like sweet candy on my skin
It was posted on another thread (why are people so ignorant) that Justin Bieber Somedaysmells like grape Bubble Yum, lol. It's a cute post, check it out. Also my girls have Jordin Sparks Because Of You and it smells candy like, although I can't recommend it too highly. Taylor Swift Wonderstruck has a sweet candy like opening, but dries down to a spicy smell. it's pretty, though.
Ok, the post referenced above concerns celebrity perfume reviews in the May 4 issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine. Here's their take on Taylor Swift Wonderstruck
"Should smell like Christmas trees, kittens, Grammys
Actually smells like Fruity pebbles, Grandma's homemade lingerie-drawer sachets"
This is a review that the review reviewers, as it were, here on Fragrantica could have a hay day with:
1) Grammys (music award), Grandmas... OMG, are they saying it smells like "Old ladies"?!?!?!?
2) Kittens... again, crazy cat ladies???
Who would've thunk it?
Hard Candy Hard Candy A very candy-sweet happy fragrance!
+1 . very good stuff this one !!
I have to second,third and fourth all of the above:there are SO many candy scents out there!
Beyonce Heat smells like red lollipop- and I mean exactly like red lollipop.
Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange smell like citrus gummy candies
Too sweet for me but you may like Beyonce Heat Rush

I tend to anthropomorphize objects, from lamps and microwaves to rocks and broccoli. It's something I picked up when I was little, and I can't stop — or rather, I don't want to. It's fun, but in a deeper sense, I think it helps me feel compassion for everything around me, whether those things are sentient or not. I received an email from a new boutique founded by Sharin Foo (of the Raveonettes) and her friend Camilla called Hurra! The shop stocks Danish art and design objects, and as I was browsing their wares, these little ceramic sculptures immediately leapt out at me, grabbed my heart and gave it a big squeeze. I'm smitten.
Based on the concept in the Japanese Shinto religion that everything in nature has a soul, Louise Gaarmann & Anders Arhøj designed this range of colorful, expressive ceramic figures. These "Ghosts" (below) and "Lava People" (above) are thrown earthenware that are glazed with a range of complex, beautiful tones, then individually hand-painted and fired in the kiln. I love looking into the faces of these peculiar little objects; they fill me with delight. These would make a wonderful gift for even the most practical, hard-nosed person — just see if they can resist a smile when they open the box. You can purchase these sculptures here and here from Hurra! — Kate
I feel exactly the same way that you do, and these little guys are winners for sure;) Thanks for sharing, in love.
aw! as in awesome!
Love the expressions and handmade loveliness of these. adorbski!
I do the same thing with inanimate objects (when my son was 2 he dropped a tiny piece of broccoli and started crying that he wanted to apologize to it. I let him, of course). And these little guys are adorable!
It's amazing what a couple of little eyes can do to an object, these are super cute. And I'm so happy to have seen them today as I'm off to see The Raveonettes in concert tonight, Thanks!

Im curious about these strings, they are very low in price and i want to give these strings a try, but before i do has anyone ever used these strings? Ive read good comments on them, but how did they do for you?
I haven't used either of these, but they are both very interesting strings. I hope you get back to us when you try them. Here's a bump.
I just finished hitting with a set of BHB7 17 and I gotta say it was one heck of a string. One regret though is I wish I strung them a little tighter (strung at 52#). There was good amount of power and tons of spin. I just hope the playability lasts a while. Going to try to play with it some more hopefully on Wednesday.
This is an addition to my previous post. Got to hit with BHB7 again for another 1.5 hour hitting session. These strings don't feel that boardy at first like some people said. But they do feel really springy. I didn't really get the proper warm up I needed to hit. But the strings still had a lot of spin. I felt like I had to really swing fast through the ball to maximize spin. There was a good amount of power. I felt like I got a lot of directional control as well as I was able to hit some crazy angles with these strings. One thing I noticed was the strings didn't really feel that consistent. I could hit the ball the same way over and over again and at least once it would feel different. I don't really know how to explain it. I was feeling the strings and noticed that the edges may have already started wearing off in the area around the sweetspot. This is a common problem I have with shaped strings. Great strings. Hopefully next time I'll bump up the tension a little bit (maybe 55#). I'm testing out Volkl Cyclone Tour 17 next so if you want I can share you some of my experiences. I hope my review helps Francis!
Yonex Poly Pro Tour Strung 55lbs on a DUNLOP M3.0 Feels abit muted and not much feel but the balls are well landing in the the court with moderate spin and power. Might be good if you're playing with a powerful player(IMO). This is just my opinion!
has anyone that has hit with BHB7 hit with Solinco Tour Bite? I'm on Tourbite right now. It's the most aggressive string (in terms of shape) that i'm playing with right now (or in a long time). IMO, cyclone/spikey shark isn't as shaped as BHB7 or Tour Bite. I might hit with a multi in the crosses
Tried Top Spin Max ROTation(main at 55lbs) & Yonex Poly Pro Tour(Cross at 58lbs) Seems like a good combination. the top spin strings definitely added a little bit more spin/bite/feel to the Yonex Strings. I don't feel overpowered by my opponent at all. The muted strings seem to muted the power from my opponent. I'm trying out my usual Volkl Cyclone with Yonex PPT next. Hope they will work well!
Hey Francis! So I hit with the racquet strung with BHB7 again and unfortunately the honeymoon period is over. I felt like the sides of the strings have disappeared and I was left with a mushy feeling string. This is probably one of the reasons why I don't use shaped strings. Overall it was fun while it lasted!

Scott Cunningham | |
Born | June 27, 1956 |
Birthplace | Royal Oak, Michigan, United States |
Died | March 28, 1993 (aged 36) |
Occupation | Writer |
Scott Douglas Cunningham (June 27, 1956 – March 28, 1993) was a U.S. writer. Cunningham is the author of several books on Wicca and various other alternative religious subjects.
His work Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner, is one of the most successful books on Wicca ever published;[1] he was a friend of notable occultists and Wiccans such as Raymond Buckland, and was a member of the Serpent Stone Family, and received his Third Degree Initiation as a member of that coven.
Early life Edit
Scott Cunningham was born at the William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan, USA, the second son of Chester Grant Cunningham and Rose Marie Wilhoit Cunningham. The family moved to San Diego, California in the fall of 1959 due to Rose Marie's health problems. The doctors in Royal Oak declared the mild climate in San Diego ideal for her. Outside of many trips to Hawaii, Cunningham lived in San Diego all his life.
Cunningham had one older brother, Greg, and a younger sister, Christine.
When he was in high school he became associated with a girl whom he knew to deal in the occult and covens. This classmate introduced him to Wicca and trained him in Wiccan spirituality. He studied creative writing at San Diego State University, where he enrolled in 1978. After two years in the program, however, he had more published works than several of his professors, and dropped out of the university to write full-time. During this period he had as a roommate, magical author Donald Michael Kraig and often socialized with witchcraft author Raymond Buckland, who was also living in San Diego at the time.
Wicca Edit
In 1980 Cunningham began initiate training under Raven Grimassi and remained as a first-degree initiate until 1982 when he left the tradition to pursue a solo practice of witchcraft.[2]
Cunningham practiced a fairly basic interpretation of Wicca, often worshipping alone, though his book series for solitaries describes several instances in which he worshipped with friends and teachers.
He also believed that Wicca, which had been a closed tradition since the 1950s, should become more open to newcomers.
Cunningham was also drawn to Huna and a range of new age movements and concepts that influenced and colored his spirituality.
Death Edit
In 1983, Scott Cunningham was diagnosed with lymphoma, which he successfully overcame. In 1990, while on a speaking tour in Massachusetts, he suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with AIDS-related cryptococcal meningitis. He suffered from several infections and died in March 1993. He was 36.[3]

During my high school days, 'Grease' was the one show everyone in the theater guild longed to be a part of.
Maybe it was because the movie made it so popular, maybe it was because of the catchy lyrics, or maybe it was a show set in a high school environment we could all relate to, I'm not really sure.
But for some reason, it was always the show we hoped to perform.
My sophomore year the big announcement hit—we would begin auditions for "Grease."

GEAR HEAD offers an inexpensive USB 2.0 card reader that double as a hub so you don't have to carry multiple peripherals in your bag. AdvertisementThe GEAR HEAD reader supports 58 card types, but that's a major overstatement. You can expect support for common card types like varieties of SD and microSD, plus less common formats like Memory Stick. The only major omission is Compact Flash, but that's a format you're only really dealing with if you have an older or high-end DSLR camera. The GEAR HEAD reader also provides three USB ports so you can attach additional peripherals to your computer.The GEAR HEAD isn't perfect, however, and there are a few other good alternatives if you're willing to sacrificing one thing or another. While I like the Moshi Cardette 3, which features a sleeker design and a sliding case that reveals a built-in USB cable, it's hard to argue it warrants a price tag of nearly $50. If you have money to waste, you may prefer that option.

Revision as of 13:27, 13 June 2012
The HUAWEI EG162G is a EDGE/GPRS modem used for wireless internet access. The current kernel (188.8.131.52) has support for this device and thus setting this up isnt very hard
Plug it in
Plug in the device , wait for a few seconds and then run
$ ls /dev/ttyUSB*
you will see something like this: /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/ttyUSB2 /dev/ttyUSB3 the first one is the port of the modem.
Now install wvdial which is a dialer
# pacman -S wvdial
or if you dont have ppp install that too
# pacman -S wvdial ppp
Configure and dial
Edit your /etc/wvdial.conf
and use this if you are using an idea netsetter , else use google to find the right config for your provider
[Dialer Defaults] Modem=/dev/ttyUSB1 Baud = 460800 Init 1 = AT+CGMM Init 2 = AT+CMEE=1 Init 3 = ATE0 Init 4 = AT^HS=0,0 Init 5 = AT+CFUN? Init 6 = AT+CLCK="SC",2 Init 7 = AT+CPIN? Init 8 = AT+CLCK="SC",2 Modem Type = USB MODEM Phone=*99# Username = idea Password = idea Dial Command=ATDT Stupid Mode=1 ISDN=0
Remember that the modem might get a different port each time you plug it in so you might need to change the 'Modem=/dev/ttyUSB1' each time, for example if the output of $ ls /dev/ttyUSB* is /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyUSB1 /dev/ttyUSB2, then you need to change the 2nd line in the wvdial config to 'Modem=/dev/ttyUSB0'
now all you need to do is run wvdial as root
# wvdial
if you get an error 16 in wvdial it means that there is no modem present in the port specified by the config, so edit your config file accordingly
if the connection is successfull you will see something like this:
bash-3.2# wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.60 --> Cannot get information for serial port. --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT*99# --> Waiting for carrier. ATDT*99# CONNECT --> Carrier detected. Starting PPP immediately. --> Starting pppd at Sun May 24 02:03:51 2009 --> Pid of pppd: 6361 --> Using interface ppp0 --> pppd: è|[01]¸8A[08]È@Þ[08] --> pppd: è|[01]8A[08]È@Þ[08] --> pppd: è|[01]8AÞ[08]È@Þ[08] --> pppd: è|[01]¸8AÞ[08]È@Þ[08] --> pppd: è|[01]¸8AÞ[08]È@Þ[08] --> pppd: è|[01]¸8AÞ[08]È@Þ[08] --> local IP address 184.108.40.206 --> pppd: è|[01]¸8AÞ[08]È@Þ[08] --> remote IP address 10.64.64.64 --> pppd: è|[01]¸8AÞ[08]È@Þ[08] --> primary DNS address 10.11.12.13 --> pppd: è|[01]¸8AÞ[08]È@Þ[08] --> secondary DNS address 10.11.12.14 --> pppd: è|[01]¸8AÞ[08]È@Þ[08]
but you still wont be able to surf the net unless you have a nameserver in ur resolv.conf. if you dont have a nameserver in your resolv.conf
then edit /etc/resolv.conf and add this line to it
nameserver 126.96.36.199
If you are already conected to a lan then change the subnet mask of the lan to 255.0.0.0 and you should be able to use the lan and the netsetter

What a nice surprise. Three subsequent attempts to upload large video files to an iTunes U course site succeeded without a hitch. More surprising, 2 of the files were >400Mb! Huzzah!
This kind of reliability may enable some faculty to upload their own media files, which would potentially provide workload relief for our staff.
Ironically, after 2 years of Apple telling us the problem was not on their end, it appears their upgrade solved the problem. I guess it was on their end after all.

Bills should pass on Fairley
Posted on 15 Jan 2011 by Paul Kasprzak.
The Buffalo Bills need playmakers on defense so you think that taking Auburn defensive lineman Nick Fairley would be a smart move. Apparently not as the Bills should pass on him. In the National Football League a player has to have a burning desire to want to succeed, especially in the early stages in their career. However, if there is any reason that a player doesn't want to be with a p...

Photographer's Note
Here is another shot of Barroude and its beautiful lakes. it was taken early in the morning so the foreground was not lightened and I did not use the flash because I was drowsy. But yet the result convinced me that I did the right choice because it emphasizes the feeling of quietness and it highlights the beauty of the site. It was on the road leading to the pass of Barrossa. Definitly I don't like mondays...

Bonjour David,
I agree with your title ;-))
A well composed picture in which I like the play of light and shadow and the subtile and beautiful colors.
Have a nice week,

I agree David, the results are awesome. I like the softness of the sky and the small piece of terra firma lit by the suns rays. Nicely focused too.
Best wishes.
Sterne (2975) 2005-08-29 5:21
Bonjour david,
Le flash avec ces distances? A mon avis ça n'aurait pas fait grand chose de bon sinon un halo au premier plan avec de drôles de couleurs. Par contre couper un peu le bas, pourquoi pas.
Sinon l'ambiance est très bien rendue, c'est superbe.
jinju (14265) 2005-08-29 7:53
Nice view! I also really like how your colors came out and the lighting. The only thing I would point out is that the foreground is a bit dark and could be brightened up a bit.
Tue (43440) 2005-08-29 18:14
Hej David,
This picture has a really wonderful atmosphere. You captured the mountains here in a very good composition and with a fine light. Very well done!
jrj (34843) 2005-08-30 6:28
A very moody shot David. The morning mood well presented. Great landscape sure in a fine setting. Good job
Rinie_Hoff (9340) 2005-08-31 16:50
Hi David, what a beautiful golden color you got here! I like the combination of the dark, the beautiful golde brown and the haziness in the distance . Very nice composition, with the diagonal from left to right. Well seen.
lcask (591) 2005-09-01 4:13
The silhouttes of mountain with reflections in the lake is very nice and well chosen.
jean-marie (3088) 2005-09-01 8:52
La sérénité des grands espaces. La lumière est splendide et finalement, même sans le flash, ça rend très bien.
joseelias (0) 2005-09-02 14:26
I also agree that the use of flash could spoil the mood here. That red part would not stand out so clearly and the silhouette game would not be so rich.
The composition is very well managed with a descendant diagonal bringing a good dynamism to the photo. A little bit more sharpness and a noise reduction in the sky would enhance the image even more.

The relationship between law and chance in the early evolution of life is the guiding theme of this provocative study. The author explores modern ideas about the origin of life from the standpoint of philosophy of science, emphasizing the contribution made by information theory. Kuppers asserts that all life phenomena are steered by information and that this information is already defined materially in a universal form at the level of the biological macromolecule. The question of the origin of life turns out to be the question of the origin of biological information Information and the Origin of Life takes up the fundamental problems of whether and, if so, to what extent the origin of semantic information during evolution can be explained as a general phenomenon within the framework of physics and chemistry. The results could have far-reaching consequences for such fields as the philosophy of mind and artificial intelligence. Bernd-Olaf Kuppers has long focused his attention on basic questions of natural science and the philosophy of science at the borders of physics, chemistry, and biology. He has been engaged since 1971 in research at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, and from 1979 to 1984 he held lecture courses in philosophy at the University of Gottingen
This is an essential contribution toward the solution of one of the fundamental problems of biology. --Sir John Kendrew

How was your experience?
The concert was amazing. It was my first time at The Hollywood Bowl and it was beautiful! It was an extra special night because I got to see my friend sing the Soprano solo, Kiera Duffy. She was divine and so was Sasha. It was easy to get there from the Red Line. Shuttle was quick and easy. They were very courteous! I can't wait to go again! Oh, and spend the dollar to rent a seat cushion. It was well worth it!

The University Forum
The University Forum
An essential dimension of the governance structure is The University Forum, which allows an opportunity for deliberation and information gathering; provide an essential democratic component; assure a mechanism for review of present and proposed university policies, procedure and issues. A representative University Forum Secretariat will insure the efficient coordination of The University Forum business.
The Forum interfaces with standing committees that report directly to the appropriate vice-presidents and a Planning and Budget Committee, which reports to the president. The committees are empowered to create sub-committees for in-depth examination of issues. The chairs of the Middle States Steering Committee and the Middle States Periodic Review Committee will provide informational reports to both the Secretariat and The Forum during their terms of office.
The framework meets the requirements of a successful governance model and the needs of our university community. The decision-making process is streamlined; propriety interests of various constituencies are reflected in the committee structure; major groups on campus are given representation.
The intent is the structure functions for the benefit of the entire university. While representation is granted various constituencies, participants in the structure should place the larger interests of the university foremost in their deliberations.
Role of the Administration
The president of the university is the chief executive officer of the institution. The provost stands second to the president and serves in the president's place upon the president absence. The committees created in the document report their recommendations directly to the appropriate vice-presidents; the Planning and Budget Committee reports to the president. Specific concerns of the president relating to the committee business should be directed to the committee through the appropriate vice president.
The structure is intended to interfere in no way with the rights of vice presidents, deans or other administrative officers to form committees for specific purposes or to call meetings of various constituent groups on campus. Committees formed by vice presidents or other administrators should be tied to the structure. Vice presidents, deans, and other administrative officers should be sensitive to issues, policies, and procedures which cut across committee and/or constituency responsibilities, and they should take appropriate action to keep all affected groups informed and aware of recommendations being made in proposed policies and procedures.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
The structure on governance is not intended to contradict or interfere with agreements reached between the state of Pennsylvania, the State System of Higher Education, and all recognized collective bargaining units. Committees called in for those collective bargaining agreements, such as committees on tenure, promotion, and sabbatical leave will continue to function as required in those agreements.
Other Existing Committees
The structure supersedes all current committees dealing with campus government. Existing committees not specifically addressed in this document, such as committees on Space and Facilities, Athletics, and Human Relations, should be reformulated when necessary as part of the proposed governance structure.
Members of campus governance committees should be elected rather than appointed. When the need exists for an election to governance committees the Chair of the University Forum/Secretariat should request the election to be held by the appropriate electing body, i.e., CGA, AFSCME, APSCUF/BU, or the Graduate Council. The Chair should forward appropriate election information, such as the date of elections, procedures, methods of determining winners, tiebreaker rules, and so forth, to the head of the appropriate body at the time the election request is made.

Evan Can Wait
Evan Almighty, the follow-up to Bruce Almighty, is the work of an angry God. At 89 minutes that last a lifetime, it's a sanctimonious sitcom dolled up as the most expensive comedy ever made—$175 mil, so they say, no doubt choking—and marks an unfortunate low point in the history of recent American comedy, as it proves that Steve Carell can't make a Bible school lesson funny. There goes his perfect game.
In short, God (Morgan Freeman, who you know is God because his white linen shirts never wrinkle) tells anchor-turned-politician Evan Baxter (Carell) that if he builds it, they will come—"it" being an ark, "they" being animals lined up two by two. And Evan's wife Joan (Lauren Graham, once more wasted in the movies after years of terrific TV) signs on for it, more or less, without asking why or what for. Joan Baxter is what one critic writing about Field of Dreams called "the Penthouse wife," the gorgeous, glassy-eyed yes-woman who'll go along with any of hubby's half-baked ideas.
And that's all Evan Almighty is: a half-baked idea from whimpering start to colossally insufferable finish (which doesn't even include the end-credit dance sequence featuring the cast rubbing all over director Tom Shadyac, as if to prove its undying love). The movie suggests, quite frankly, that God's nothing more than a son of a bitch who's willing to drown thousands of people just to prove that one character—and you'll know who, like, 12 minutes in—is up to no good, man. (Did I just give something away? My bad.) Rather than use Evan as a vessel to warn innocent people about impending disaster, God turns the poor guy into a Rogaine freak show with a messianic complex toward whom geese and pigeons flock and elephants and monkeys migrate.
Evan Almighty
Directed by Tom Shadyac. Written by Steve Oedekerk. Starring Steve Carell, Morgan Freeman, Lauren Graham and John Goodman. Opens Friday.
And why does God choose Evan? Because he was played in the original by Steve Carell, on a roll till now with The Office and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, in which the former Daily Show correspondent proved he was willing to debase himself for a well-deserved laugh. Who better to build a sequel around than an actor for whom self-humiliation is considered an act of heroism? In the movie, God chooses Evan because, as a candidate, he pledged to "change the world," and the Almighty feels it's time to take him up on his promise. Why a former TV anchor from Buffalo above any number of do-gooder celebrities—Angelina Jolie, say, or Bono? Perhaps God only watches the one newscast.
But who cares about movie logic when Evan Almighty isn't really a movie—just a sequel about being a sequel, like most every other sequel. It actually stoops repeatedly to remind you how much you like Carell, as though the producers are trying to validate your ticket purchase. There's a movie marquee advertising The 40-Year-Old Virgin Mary. The camera actually lingers on it for several seconds; you expect Carell himself to point to the title, in case we missed the joke. Jon Stewart appears twice from the Daily Show set, poking fun at Evan's transformation from suit-and-tie politician into robed messiah—though in the film's holier-than-thou context, Stewart comes off like a godless heathen, which, blessedly, he is. And several of Carell's Office and Virgin cast mates make small cameos, among then Ed Helms and Jonah Hill. Sweet Lord, how they all try.
Shadyac, who early on made Ace Ventura, now fancies himself some kind of big-screen preacher—a maker of do-good, be-good, feel-good films, chief among them the sickly sweet Patch Adams—and now this. Bruce Almighty wasn't much fun either, but at least it felt a little more honest and found room between the sermons for some naughty-boy ogling and potty-mouth humor. This is PG-rated proselytizing tinged with Al Gore self-righteousness (the bad guy in the movie, John Goodman's corrupt congressman, is out to rape and pillage a wildlife preserve), all with the narrative thrust of a film about the apocalypse starring Kirk Cameron.
Turns out the best way to get a busy daddy to stay at home with the kids is to turn him into Noah. Or Jesus. Or Moses. They all look the same to the heathens. And Carell? After he sprouts the white beard and dons the tattered tunic of a Biblical hero, he's nothing more than a saint. And that's just a sin.

College Football Preview: The Heisman
Well shit. The end of College Football Preview week is nigh. Today we are going to discuss the most ridiculous award in sports history: The Heisman Trophy. I just don't get it. Apparently, unless you are an upperclassmen, you shouldn't win regardless of the season (Grossman was robbed). And NO ONE should win two of them and join the great Archie Griffin (who loses some luster since he busted in the NFL and probably didn't deserve the award his Senior year anyway). If you aren't a QB, FUHGEDDABOUTIT! You're fucked. So basically, the Heisman Trophy is only awarded to the best Junior/Senior QB who has not won the award before as opposed to the best college football player. Still with me? And people argue that the BCS is fucked up. Anyway, on to the predictions (enjoy Colt McCoy's now defunct lip hair).
Zac Robinson, Oklahoma St. - As I have said, I'm very high on Oklahoma St. this year. He is going to have a monster year with all those weapons at his disposal. He's going to beat UT and OU, and take home the Heisman ahead of that douche from Florida who shall remain nameless.
Timothy Jesus Junior Tebow, Florida - The guy is the nicest and classiest athlete on the planet yet people hate on him because Thom Brennaman wants to be the first to pump his virgin dick. Tebow is going to win his 3rd Heisman in his 4 years at Florida this season (he won it last year, no doubt about it). In all honesty, he is the best college football player not named Tommie Frazier that I have seen in my life. He deserves to be recognized as such with another Heisman trophy. And the haters can suck on it because me and him are winners and you all are the scum of the Earth.
Colt McCoy, Texas - I think Colt is the best QB in the country. He's a better passer than Tim Tebow, and his girlfriend has to be hotter than Sam Bradford's (if that was his girlfriend they kept showing during the OSU-Texas Fiesta Bowl). Any one of these three have a huge advantage over anyone else because of their age, position, and all the preseason hype. It will be hard for anyone else to sneak in this race. It's going to be close, but I'll go with Colt (for no real reason) because of his cute butt*.
*Editor's addition
The Great Tim Tebow, Florida - Tebow will win the Heisman and I don't feel like even writing about that. His team is too good and people like Gary Danielson get too wet when they are in his presence. Hopefully, the past Heisman winners stand away from him at the presentation as a show of unity that they don't respect virgin Heisman winners (ed. note: maybe Billy Sims can just scream "BOOMER" throughout his entire speech...how great would that be?).
The Wig Master
Colt McCoy, Texas - As the recent past has shown us, the Heisman might as well be renamed the Best Quarterback in the Nation Award. This season should not buck the trend, and another signal caller will get his greasy hands on the trophy. We all know that Archie Griffin pays off Carl & Lenny and the rest of the Stonecutters (ed.: awesome reference, WM) each year in order to remain the sole two-time Heisman Winner, and as a result, Tim and Sam are out. That leaves Mr. Colt McCoy as your Heisman Winner for 2009. Last season his numbers were downright wicked: 3900 yards, 77% completion, 34 touchdowns, 8 picks, a 173 rating, and 11 rushing touchdowns. Those were damn near Sonnenberg numbers (#9 slung it all over Loose Field back in the late 90s, trust me kids). Back to McCoy, one can figure that his numbers improve from last year, and those stats are enough to get the top prize.
Colt McCoy, Texas. Tim Tebow will deserve it once again, but the voters will award it to Colt McCoy this year. I already wrote last year how Archie Griffin should NOT have won his second Heisman based on his statistics that season and we will never see a repeat Heisman winner again because they will not allow it to happen. So this means Sam Bradford is also out. McCoy will put up good numbers again this season, and he has an insane career completion percentage of 70%. Look for Colt to ride off with the 2009 Heisman trophy.
So the consensus among these parts is that McCoy wins it. I don't think so but it's a better call than Zach Morris or whoever the hell Damman picked. I'm just happy that none of you homers picked Terrelle Pryor. If they gave the Heisman out to the player who hates Dut the most, then he will win it the next three years. Until then, let's keep giving it to "the best player in the nation". We crown our champions tomorrow...what a teaser!

Zac Robinson?! Guys, there will definitely be an opening on this panel next year seeing as Damman obviously knows nothing about college football.
-GSaul - 8:09 AM
Ok Saul, I knew all your homos were going to pick Tebow or McCoy and really go out on a limb, so I threw out a wild card (who is going to put up HUGE numbers). After your performance on the panel this week (Talking Sun Belt football as well as Syracuse and Duke) you have no room to talk.
And guys, stop talking like you are experts on the 1975 college football season. You have no idea who deserved to win and who didn't. G$, the Heisman is college football award, it has nothing to do with the NFL.

Previous post supposed to say "you homos." I didn't want to offend your homosexual friends, GSaul.

Statistically, Archie had a worse 1975 than 1974 (I just looked it up) and scored less touchdowns than his teammate. I'm not really sure why anyone, regardless of their school, would be honored for such a regression in production.
In hindsight, 4th place finisher in 1975, Tony Dorsett, was a much better running back.
Zac Robinson threw 25 td passes last year in 13 games. HUGE!!! - 8:33 AM
Good, they will all be at the poker game tonight, eating the new Hubby Hubby ice cream from Ben & Jerry's.
-GSaul - 8:33 AM
I love how all of you morons love to say that Archie shouldn't have won the Heisman in 1975. Who brain-washed this fact into your small brains? Do you know who finished second? Fucking Chuck Muncie and Archie won by 800 some votes...it wasn't even close.
--Drew - 8:38 AM
G$, do not attempt to give facts and statistics to OSU fans...they will only fall on deaf ears. You and I cannot comprehend what life is like only being able to evaluate things through that scarlet colored prism.
-GSaul - 8:55 AM
Oh yes, GSaul, your usual tired OSU fan jokes. They were good the first 20 times you used them, not so much anymore. You need new material.

I did pull out a new one above, here is the link if you thought I was joking...I'm never eating Ben & Jerry's again.

Big props for the Tommie Frazier name drop. One of the best bowl games I ever saw was when Tommie stole the title game MVP from Charlie Ward, despite the loss.
Tebow will/should win. I'm still shocked that last year they handed the stiffarm trophy to someone who literally looks like he has down-syndrome. - 9:38 AM

Just a thought... If you knew someone with the first name Alex, middle name Richard, wouldn't you have to call him A. Dick?

Thanks. And yes.
This question came up at a cousin's baptism. I can't wait to start calling the little baby "A-Dick." - 11:34 AM

I agree it's probably going to be a QB, but no love for Jahvid Best? Their team may be overrated, but he averaged 8.1 yards a carry last year!
Nick Sheridan. Enough said.

Cristin Milioti will follow up her time on "How I Met Your Mother" with another romantic comedy, NBC's pilot "A to Z."
Milioti, who joined the "HIMYM" cast as the Mother this season, will play one of the two leads in "A to Z," from writer Ben Queen ("Cars 2," "Drive") and executive producers Rashida Jones ("Parks and Recreation") and her "Celeste & Jesse Forever" co-writer Will McCormack.
"A to Z" chronicles the relationship of a young couple, Andrew and Zelda (hence the title). Milioti will play Zelda, the more practical of the two, an attorney at a public-advocacy firm. She's very much of the opinion that she controls her own destiny and also has emphatically put away childish things: Per the character description, Zelda "loves being a grown-up and doesn't understand why anyone over 20 would go see an animated movie or eat ice cream sundaes."
Presumably Andrew loves all those things, and opposites will attract and they'll go on to love one another humorously for many seasons to come.
Milioti, a Tony Award nominee in 2012 for the Broadway production of "Once," has been warmly received by critics and "HIMYM" fans since joining the show at the very end of Season 8. "How I Met Your Mother" wraps production in the next couple of weeks, and its series finale is scheduled for March 31.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Expert: Obscenity Charge Brought Against Alvin Greene Extremely Rare (VIDEO)
But according to Chris Hansen, senior national staff counsel at the ACLU, prosecutions involving the obscenity law that Greene is being charged under are exceedingly rare.
"Every state and the federal government have obscenity statutes, and they all read pretty much the same," he says. "It is very rarely enforced anywhere."
The law in the Greene case is section 16-15-0305, (A)(3) of the South Carolina code. It is a crime if a person "publishes, exhibits, or otherwise makes available anything obscene to any group or individual."
But Hansen says that the federal government, which has a similar law on the books, would not prosecute Greene if the images he allegedly showed McCoy depicted "normal heterosexual sex." Hansen says that in fact, federal obscenity cases are so rare that there have only been a dozen or so in the last decade -- reserved for categories like bestiality and extreme violence.
But here's the catch: obscenity laws are applied differently in different states because, as the South Carolina statute puts it, the definition of obscenity is based on "contemporary community standards." For material to be legally obscene, it must fit three categories based on contemporary community standards: it must be "patently offensive;" it must appeal "to the prurient interest in sex;" and it must "lack serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."
It's not clear if obscenity charges are more common in South Carolina than they are on the federal level -- though obscenity is not even a category in the state's annual crime statistics report.
The charge against Greene is still pending. An affidavit filed in court alleges that Greene "did commit the crime of [d]isseminating, procuring or promoting obscenity because the defendant did intentionally show obscene photographs from a website to the victim, Camille McCoy, without her consent."
It's not completely clear where the charge stands, but Edith White, owner of ABC Bonding -- which put up $5,000 bail for Greene for a $500 fee -- said her records show court dates in the case on December 7, April 1, and April 26. She said that Greene checks in with the company weekly, and the next court date is scheduled for July 12.
Here's a clip of the interview with McCoy and her mother from Fox Friday:

Get Religion.org takes on the issue of media perceptions as it relates to the current Anglican crisis.
Clearly, the Anglican vs. Episcopal warfare is just getting started at the local level here in the United States, which means that more and more religion reporters are going to have to wade into this journalistic swamp in the weeks, months and years ahead.
Those on both sides of this debate would likely admit that keeping up is hard to do. Andy Figueroa's Wiki Timeline (duly linked in the article, by the way) makes keeping score a little easier and reporters would do well to consider it required reading. Possibly it could become an aid for reporters and enable them to avoid words like perceived.
The most interesting word, journalistically speaking, in Kay's report is the word "perceived" in the statement that traditionalists are upset about the "perceived liberal direction of the Episcopal Church." This interests me, because I think we have reached the point where leaders on the Episcopal left are openly and honestly saying that God wants their church to move in a liberal, or progressive, direction.
"Perceived"? Let's turn that around. If the Anglican right was victorious tomorrow and somehow began to pass and enforce statements, well, that salvation can only be found through Jesus Christ, that clergy must preach that the resurrection literally happened and that sex outside of marriage is a sin, would The Sun write that mainstream Episcopal leaders were upset that their church was swinging in what they "perceived" was a conservative or even, heaven forbid, a "fundamentalist" direction? Would anyone doubt that the facts were clear?
One thing is for certain. The line that divides us is becoming more deeply defined every day.

People who exercise prior to attack do better, study finds
TUESDAY, July 14 (HealthDay News) -- People who have exercised regularly in the years before a stroke may be harmed less by the attack than "couch potato" types, a new study indicates.
"It's not necessarily high-intensity physical activity," said study senior author Dr. James F. Meschia, a professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla. "It's setting aside time for exercise, 20 minutes to one hour a day, three days a week."
Those among the 673 people in the Ischemic Stroke Genetics Study who had such exercise regimens did better on two different scales measuring the impact of a first stroke, according to a report published online July 13 in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.
One of the two scales used was the Barthel Index, a well-established measure of ability to perform 20 daily activities such as the ability to dress oneself and bathe oneself. "It doesn't probe complicated activities, such as driving or keeping track of a checkbook," Meschia said.
Study participants were also measured on the Oxford Handicap Scale. "It's more of a global measurement," Meschia said. "It takes into consideration whether someone has difficulty comprehending speech, whether one couldn't return to work or couldn't enjoy reading."
Return to work was not an issue for most of the people in the study, whose age averaged about 70, Meschia said. But the 50.5 percent of the participants who reported having had regular exercise one to three times a week before their strokes appeared to function better than those who had not exercised, and the 21 percent who reported aerobic physical activity four or more times a week appeared to do even better still.
The study was not large enough to established a direct relationship between the amount of pre-stroke exercise and better functioning afterward, but "there was a tres" imgurl="http://image.bio-medicine.org/img/Fitness-Might-Limit-Strokes-Impact.gif" timex="7/14/2009 11:22:47 AM" dirsub="(nd toward that Meschia said.

"The straightforward explanation is that if you are physically fit you can compensate better for the deficit cause by the stroke because you have more reserve," he said. "That may not be the whole picture, but it is probably much of it."
But the study results are also still preliminary, the researchers said. "Our findings should be seen as exploratory, requiring confirmation, ideally in a longitudinal study of exercise in an older population," they wrote.
Whatever the effect of prior exercise might be on easing the effects of a stroke, there is evidence that "it leads to a decreased risk of having a stroke to begin with," said Dr. Larry B. Goldstein, director of the Duke Stroke Center.
"There are several studies showing a decreased risk of stroke and of cardiovascular disease in general," Goldstein said. "That is reasonably well-established, even though there have been no randomized trials, just observational studies."
As for exercise after a stroke, "the evidence is still evolving, but it seems that being physically active helps," Goldstein said. "People who exercise seem to do better functionally. Also, it seems to help in secondary prevention. Being physically active helps reduce the risk of a second stroke."
That's important, he said, because "the best way to treat a stroke is not to have it."

Questions & Answers
My husband purchased the 12 0z bowls for me for Christmas at 7.95. The inside is not ""finished"", i.e., not rounded and smooth. Are the Revol bowls, at $24+, the same? Also, are they the same shade of white and same texture
