Iowa offers freshman
Freshman Brian Allen never expected a scholarship offer to come this early. Not before he had ever played a down of varsity football or gone to any college camps. But in recent days, the 6-foot-1, 245-pound offensive lineman and his family confirmed that he already has a verbal offer on the table from the Iowa Hawkeyes.
"When my dad first told me that Iowa was going to offer, I thought he was kidding at first," said Allen. "I mean I'm only a freshman, so it's kind of unreal for them to do that now, but we called Coach Ferentz today and he confirmed it."
The Iowa coaching staff is very familiar with the Allen family as this past year they recruited Brian's older brother, Jack, who ultimately signed with Michigan State in February. The Hawkeyes are hoping to have better luck this time around with the Class of 2014 prospect.
"I went up to Iowa with my brother when he visited and they have an awesome campus and awesome facilities," Allen said. "I've met Coach Ferentz and some of the staff before and they all seem like really nice guys."
This past season, Allen played on the freshman team at Hinsdale Central High School in Illinois, starting at center and linebacker. In 2011, he is expected to take over for his brother at the center position on the varsity team where his position coach will be former Hawkeye Mike Jones, who helped get the ball rolling with Iowa's recruitment.
In addition to football, Allen's biggest accomplishment as a freshman probably came on the wrestling mat where posted a 39-8 record and placed third in the state at 215 pounds competing in Illinois' largest class.
"I think my wrestling background helped a lot with the Iowa offer," said Allen. "They are big on wrestling up there and it seems like they end up offering a lot of wrestlers."
Currently, Allen is also receiving some interest from his brother's school, Michigan State, along with Stanford. Still wrapping up just his freshman year of high school, the Class of 2014 prospect plans to be patient with the recruiting process, but is pleasantly surprised by the early attention.
"It's unreal," Allen said. "After getting the offer, I think I just have to work harder now. It's inspiring and will drive me to do more and be even better."

There's always been something about the standard tail lights that has been a mystery of sorts to me. On my 69 Z the outboard and inboard bulbs are on when the switch is in the running and/or headlight position. If I use the bulbs that it indicates to use in the owners manual the inboard bulb is always brighter than the outboard bulb when the light switch is on, and the state of Delaware doesn't like that. I had to find another lower candle power bulb that matches the outboard 1157 bulb in the running light position(not sure what number I used). I always though that both the inboard and outboard lights were supposed to flash when using the turn signal or apply the brakes, but they don't. The inboard light is just an ornamental light (that's what I call it anyway) and doesn't have any other function but to come on when the light switch is on. As for RS lights it may be different., I've not had the priledge of being near one to see how they work. I'm curious what others will say.

Long Sleeved Pocket Tee
Added Aug 16, 2013
by b-ella
Brooklyn, New Yo...
I have this long sleeved American Apparel tee that I wear all of the time (http://store.americanapparel.net/product/rsa0316s.html#). It's basically the most comfortable shirt ever, so I wanted another one. I had this incredibly soft and cozy jersey fabric on hand, so I used the American Apparel top to create a pattern. This was the first time I'd really done this (except for a few tank tops here and there). So I was surprised that it basically worked. I had a little trouble getting the sleeves right (I was having trouble connecting them to the body of the top). But after toying around with them a bit, they seemed fine.

OAKLAND — A conglomerate of mechanical issues, medical problems and police activity on BART caused systemwide delays Wednesday morning, officials said.
The morning's back ups began about 7:30 a.m. in the Fremont and Richmond directions after passengers reportedly jammed doors on some of those trains, BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said.
The problem had a ripple effect through the system, delaying all lines except in the San Francisco International Airport and Dublin-Pleasanton directions.
Then at 8 a.m., the Pittsburg-Bay Point line backed up after a person suffered an unknown medical issue, Trost said.
Shortly after that, at 8:22 a.m., BART police stopped a train at the Coliseum station to search for a bike-theft suspect on a train there, Trost said.
The search caused a back up for trains behind that one.
It was not immediately known if police apprehended the suspect.
As of about 9:20 a.m. trains were moving, but still on a 15-20 minute delay.
"All of those things on their own wouldn't cause major delays but when they happen around the same time on the same lines it backs everything up," Trost said.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. I want to hack into the headphone and microphone leads to be able to contrive a hands free set up via my car audio. The phone is normally in a cradle and out-putting music to the head unit via a lead between the 3.5mm sockets on the phone and head unit. I noticed when I get a call, the phone stops playing music.
I would ideally wire the headphone leads to a 3.5mm stereo plug, which will plug into the head unit and connect the micro phone lead to a micro-phone for a defunct Motorola hands-free kit, that is still installed in the car. I would have to connect a 3.5mm plug or socket to the microphone lead, but I can do this bit myself.
I am a little worried the Motorola microphone will have more impedance or whatever than the tiny unit built into the GS2 headphone set.
This may seem like a roundabout route, but I have tried a few alternatives already ...
I started off trying to use the phone's handsfree function and inbuilt microphone. This doesn't work, no-one can hear me.
I tried a mate's bluetooth kit that clips onto to the visor. Ths worked well but Bluetooth drains the phone battery very quickly, and the cradle doesn't allow me to connect a charger .... hence the idea I am seeking advice on.
Has any one seen a set of leads that will allow this or can anyone tell me of an outfit that could wire this up for me? I am not good enough to do the soldering myself.

The Elis completed Day 1 of the EISL Championships in fourth place overall with 253 points. The EISLs include all the Ivy League teams as well as Army and Navy. Yale's relay teams did well on the day, with their 200-yard freestyle relay squad finishing fourth and the 400-yard medley relay team picking up third.
The medley relay team, consisting of Alex Nash on backstroke, Tom Hardy on breaststroke, Jack Cooney on butterfly, and Jimmy Veazey swimming freestyle, finished third to Harvard and Princeton with a time of 3:19.30.
The 200 free relay team, made up of Veazey, Hardy, Cameron Hendrick, and Matt Bowman, swam a 1:22.04 for fourth place in that event.
Other Yale scorers included Andrew Foss, who earned sixth in the 500-yard free with a time of 4:29.32, and Jack Cooney, whose time of 1:52.25 in the 200 IM earned him seventh.
The Elis continue competition today, where they will seek to move up on third place Columbia to challenge Princeton and Harvard at the top of the standings.

Hey, I'm an average programmer from Australia. I've become interested in learning Lisp as I see it as a challenging and powerful language that would be useful to learn. The issue I'm having is I want a basic setup to learn and be able to create some programs in lisp or common lisp but I do not want to use an editor like emacs or vim as I simply prefer a simple text editor like Gedit or Jedit. I am on linux but also have windows avaliable if I really need it. So does anybody know of any guides or ways of creating a simple environment with command line/text editor use instead of emacs or vim?
Thanks in advance, Luke

HFarrington needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 397 designs submitted by 71 freelance designers.
We are a husband and wife team currently developing a website to share our love of good food and wine with others. It will include the following:
- Restaurant reviews
- Food photos
- Recipes
- Healthy food tips for kids
- Different cuisines from around the world
- Web shop which sells kitchen goods / kids cooking utensils /
cookbooks and other cooking related merchandise
Our website and brand is to be targeted at all ages with the common denominator being the love of good food and wine. It is for families, friends and foodies wanting know they are selecting the right restaurant; accessing recipes to cook a meal they know will work or the kids will love; sharing recipes they may have found; looking for healthy cooking and eating information; and wanting to purchase that special cooking utensil they have been missing.
We believe the perfect logo will help build our brand and ensure our website's long term success. Some ideas we have for our logo:
- A little abstract with a play on the wine and the fork.
- Bold, identifiable colours that can be reflected throughout the
- Modern / classy / unique design
- Keep the logo and the word
winefork separate rather than integrate
any graphics into the word
- Keep the word winefork all one colour as
we want it to be a whole word in it's own
right rather than splitting up the 'wine'
and the 'fork
- emphasis on the fork component of the
logo as the major focus of the website
will be on food
The files we will require are:
- Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
- Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
As we are in the very early stages of building our website, we are hoping that with the right logo we will be able to build our brand around it, so for us the perfect logo is a pivotal part of ensuring our businesses success.

If there's one thing I can always promise you, it's not to BS you. Your time is valuable and really, you should be doing something more productive with your work time than screwing around on horror websites. That being said, there is no horror news today. Well, at least nothing worth noting. I mean, do you really care that Karl Urban has been cast in something called "Priest"? I spent all morning trying to find a "Halloween 2" review from last night's sneaks—all I can find a few tweets that are evenly divided and all uneducated...
Oh, wait...here's something:
Eli Roth says that his slasher parody/homage "Thanksgiving" is still a "very real possibility" . YAWN, WANK. Do we, really as a collective of genre fans, really even care about announcements like this anymore? Where's "Trailer Park", Eli? How's "Cell" coming along?? Here's my new rule: I refuse to get excited about anything, ever, until I see a trailer or, at the very least, a poster with a hard 'n' fast date.
You want some real news? How about that the novelization of the movie "Black Devil Doll" is out! Why is this so important? Because I wrote the introduction! Is this probably the most important book of our generation, if any generation? I would have to go out on a limb and say YES. Yes, it is. So don't be a racist and order a copy now! Order two!
Porn studios have been accused of violating workplace safety, according to OSHA. Yes, OSHA regulates porn—who knew! I'd like to see the workplace safety manual for that. Even better, it would be hilarious if it got mixed up with, say, a fast food joint's manual—extra "secret sauce" for me! (And by sauce, I mean jism.)
Mexico, in a bold move, has decriminalized marijuana. When I asked my pot-smoking neighbor Chad "Kind Bud" Budderson for comment, he said: "Hey bro...hold on, let me turn down the Dave Matthews Band...OK. So Mexico says it's cool to carry the sticky-icky? Bro, they are so ahead of us in, like, laws and stuff. Some lawyers need to take make some laws so we can get that shit over here, dude, or I'm moving to Cancun, brah! Sun up, wake 'n' bake...um, what was I talkin' about?"
In 1959, President Eisenhower proclaims Hawaii the 50th state in the Union. Only two years later, our current President, Barack Obama, would be born in Kenya. YEAH I WENT THERE.

The first run is against a stock F10 M5. The M5 starts ahead of the turbo and gets a bit of a jump but the 996 Turbo starts to reel it in fairly quickly. It is pulling the F10 M5 very clearly up top making up the distance and managing to edge ahead before the cones. Definitely an impressive showing considering how far it started from behind.
The second run is against an OE Tuning tuned W204 C63 AMG with full bolt ons. The C63 starts out a bit ahead as well. The Turbo makes quick work of it though pulling past easily. Why there is only a single forward facing camera angle used on this run is anyone's guess as it is difficul to tell just how far ahead the Turbo was. Regardless, this was not nearly as close of a race as with the F10 M5.

HASTINGS, Mich. (AP) ? A burglar expressing guilt about stealing $800 from a western Michigan store three decades ago has repaid the money, plus some interest.
HASTINGS, Mich. (AP) ? A burglar expressing guilt about stealing $800 from a western Michigan store three decades ago has repaid the money, plus some interest.
The anonymous thief sent a note and $1,200 in $100 bills to the Barry County sheriff's department in Hastings, and they arrived Monday, WOOD-TV reported.
The writer admitted breaking into the Middle Mart on Michigan 37 in Thornapple Township north of Middleville about 30 years ago.
In a letter packed with emotion and spelling errors, the writer asks for "help in locating a man" to whom the writer owes the money.
"Anyways, I did a very bad thing that I am shamed of and have lived with this guilt," the writer said. "I can't begin to say how sorry iam but have lived with this guilt too long," the letter went on to say. "If you do find him, please tell him that I was afoolish stupid man when I did that and iam sorrie."
The letter was unsigned and had no return address.
The $1,200, while it includes some interest, falls short of making up for the loss in the dollar's purchasing power over the intervening years. The stolen $800 would be worth about $1,800 today, based on changes in the consumer price index.
WOOD-TV said the former owner of the store, now called Greg's Get-N-Go, confirmed it was broken into in the 1980s. The store was sold in 1988.
Undersheriff Bob Baker said the letter and cash came as quite a surprise.
"This doesn't happen every day," Baker said. He said the department isn't interested in reopening the case because of the time that has passed.

On Friday, November 30, almost 50 Xavier students will board a bus at 6:00 a.m. for a ten-hour ride to Des Moines, Iowa. Not exactly the center of the college student party scene, but different parties are at play here. In Des Moines, these students will experience firsthand the nation's first and oldest political caucus.
Students Briana Hansen of Indianapolis and Kevin Hoggatt of Wilmington, OH will blog about their experience at www.hansoggatt.blogspot.com/ with a link on Xavier's blog, www.xavieruniverse.blogspot.com. Maggie Nafziger, executive director of the Hamilton County Republican Party, and Jeff Cramerding, executive director of the Cincinnati Charter Committee will join the group. In addition, journalist Joe Wessels will join the group and blog at http://www.cincy.com.
Every four years, presidential candidates visit Iowa, where citizens have gathered in the caucus format since the early 1800s. On caucus night (January 3, 2008), Iowans gather by party preference in designated public buildings or often private homes to elect delegates to the 99 county conventions. Presidential preference selection on the Republican side is done with a straw vote of those attending. Democratic caucus-goers express their presidential preference through a show of hands, a sign-in sheet or by dividing themselves into groups according to candidates.
The Xavier trip was a result of the course Presidential Campaigns 1960-2008, team taught by John Fairfield, Ph.D., history, Gene Beaupré, Ph.D., political science, and Brendon Cull, former spokesperson for the Kerry/Edwards Ohio Presidential campaign. The course explores the history and strategies used in modern presidential campaigns. Moving beyond theory, it puts the 2008 presidential primary into perspective.
"The campaign occurring this fall will be the first time in more than 50 years that neither national party will have an incumbent president or vice president as a candidate. It's the most diverse field of contenders this country has seen in modern times," says Beaupré.
The students will meet with their chosen campaigns of both parties to join in strategizing. Since Congress is not in session, Iowa will be teeming with staffers and aides to those candidates currently in Congress. Students will attend the Democratic debate Saturday in Des Moines. Most students will work until early afternoon Sunday, before boarding the bus to return home. Most of the participants are in Xavier's Philosophy, Politics & the Public (PPP) Honors program, but a number of politically-active students are traveling, as well. Each student paid $50 to join in this hallmark occasion and is responsible for meals. Xavier is providing transportation and lodging.
PPP student David Ben of Lockport, NY says he is "excited to have the opportunity to volunteer in such a battleground state. We have the opportunity to see the work of these finely-tuned organizations at a critical time in the process and act as a small piece that will fit into the larger narrative of the campaign."


text: "Elite Squad" is an intense and astonishing look at Rio de Janeiro's notorious favelas, the volatile slums on the edge of the city, presenting an intimate look at the city's vast and intricate web of corruption. The elite BOPE force (State Police Special Operations Battalion) combats drug trafficking, keeping order has its price though and their actions make it difficult to distinguish right from wrong and justice from revenge. BOPE Captain Nascimento (Wagner Moura) is facing a crisis: in addition to the pressures of fighting within war zones, the Captain must find and train his own replacement so he can escape the day to day violence and be close to his wife who is about to give birth to their first child. Two of the force's newest recruits, are childhood friends: one is quick on the trigger to maintain order and the other refuses to compromise his ideals. Together they are the perfect replacement. Alone they may not have what it takes to survive.

Difference between revisions of "Gary"
Revision as of 08:49, 3 February 2009
Gary [3] is a city in Northern Indiana.
Founded in 1906 as a company town for U.S. Steel, it once had the nickname "The Magic City". More recently, it has been described by writer Jessica Hopper as "the Pompeii of the Midwest, a city of ruins where life can seem to have just suddenly stopped".
Gary is both famous and infamous. It's the "just one place that can light my face" and "home sweet home" effusively described in the song of the same name from the 1957 musical The Music Man. It's the childhood home of Michael, Tito, Jermaine, and the rest of the Jackson family. It's also home to an unattractive and often industrial-smelling stretch of highway east of Chicago, and has repeatedly ranked first in the nation among large cities for homicides per capita.
When designing the city, the U.S. Steel Corporation bragged that its engineers "took for their guidance the motto that hangs in the office of the big company's chief executive, "It can be done," and made Gary at least an attractive, if not a beautiful, residential town," and posited Gary as evidence that "management has always shown its realization of the fact that "not by bread alone does man live"; that the mere paying of employees a living wage is not sufficient, and that even the least educated worker has an aesthetic sense, even though often uncultivated, that should be developed and pandered to within reasonable limits if the best good of the worker and the employer is to be achieved." As U.S. Steel began to struggle in the late 1960s, the city's economy followed, and it has yet to recover.
Two casinos, legalized in Gary out of sheer desperation, make it a destination for gamblers on short trips and locals on pay-day . Its crumbling architectural heritage also makes it a favorite — and dangerous — destination for urban exploration.
Get in
By plane
The Gary/Chicago International Airport is located at the northwest corner of Gary and is currently served by a single airline, SkyValue USA, operating as a scheduled charter.
By train
By car
Take the Indiana Toll Road from Illinois ($3 from Chicago) or Ohio to exit 14A (Gary West) or exit 17 (Gary East). Exit 17 intersects with Interstate 65 and U.S. Routes 12 & 20.
By bus
Greyhound Buses stop in Gary. Their offices are at 100 W 4th Ave, Ste. 106 in Gary; tel. 219-886-3041.
By boat
Lake Michigan and the Grand Calumet River are nearby.
Get around
There is a limited local bus service. The depot is two blocks west of the baseball stadium. However, while visiting Gary, use of a car is strongly advised.
Gary was once a thriving city, and it has the architecture to prove it — intact or otherwise.
There are two casinos along the lakeshore, both of which have plenty of fake-Vegas glitz and few traces of the city outside.
Stay safe
As above, Gary has repeatedly ranked first in the United States for murder rates per capita, so take care. Due to the economic depression, many businesses close in the evening, so call ahead to confirm that wherever you're going is still open, and don't set out at night without a destination in mind. If you're tempted to do some urban exploration, bear in mind that the poverty of the city means that much more potential danger from people squatting in abandoned properties. Make sure someone knows where you're going, and check in with them as you go.
Get out

Deacons Today: Dalmatics and Beyond: Questions, questions
"So, let's change things up a bit. I can keep posting things about the diaconate, but I'd like to try something: This is a great place t..."
4 comments:
I am curious to hear your further thoughts on ordaining women to diaconal ministry. Your article in America last summer prompted me to read Gary Macy's very interesting book. It seems that before the year 1000 or so there were several types of women involved in diaconal ministry. Virgins and widows, abbottess, and the some wives of male deacons all seem to have been ordained. How would a female diaconate be expressed today?ReplyDelete
Deacon Bill,ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for your Blog; very engaging and helpful!
Can you comment as to whether there are changes in the new Roman Missal that will effect the diaconate; what part do you see deacons playing in catechesis for the Missal, etc.
Thanks for ruminating the some possible emerging ministries for deacons other than the "primal" ministry of charity.
Best Regards,
Chris J. Washington DC
Responding to Michael:ReplyDelete
I think all of those points you mention are possible. But also look at what wider society is already telling us.
--In contrast to a few years back, every police department I know now has has women officers assigned to their rape crisis intervention units.
--Women chaplains are far more welcomed in women prisons than men chaplains are.
--Women working in "post-abortion/ "Project Rachel" ministries naturally far -- FAR -- outnumber men.
--I have checked and there are far more women who are "Professionally Certified as Campus Ministers" by the Catholic Campus Ministry Association than there are men so credentialed. I suspect the same data would prove true about "Professionally Certified Clinical Counselors" as well.
--Women-Marines stationed in Afghanistan are usually used at check-points where Afghan women have to pass through or even in the civil-affairs/ community relations areas. I have been told by veterans of this scene that armed women in the US military are an incredible psychological weapon as well Taliban warriors are absolutely terrified of them.
Bottom line -- there are many situations that women are in crisis and where women in ministry are a far - far better pastoral solution than are men.

Deacon,I have a question.ReplyDelete
The vocation of a deacon was restablished a few decades ago,and they are clerics .
The catholic orders like jesuits,franciscans, have a place for the clerics,but they dont have a place for the married permanent deacons.
What will happen in the future? What are the catholic orders planning for the married permanent deacons?
The diaconate will be only a diocesan vocation or the orders will acept them too ,as jesuit deacons or salesinas deacons...?

text: Avoid These Heifer-Rearing Bottlenecks April 28, 2013 09:25 PM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Guest Editor Four areas where you can make improvements. By Dr. Gene Boomer, Manager, Field Technical Services, Arm & Hammer Animal Nutrition The dairy industry currently faces higher feed costs, yardage costs, land values, cull cow values, sexed semen technology, dairy heifer inventory and beef prices. There is also a shortage of feeder replacements and the fact that you can usually purchase a springing heifer for $200–$400 less than actual rearing costs. Therefore, dairy producers must focus more on their heifer business enterprise because today's economy does not automatically give every heifer a lactation career opportunity. The industry needs to shift to recording and monitoring early life indicators like birth weights, passive transfer, average daily gains to 70 and 150 days of age and disease events. These parameters have impact on several key areas of heifer nutritional management, especially the first 100 days of age. This timeframe is critical to help determine whether heifers earn their lactation careers. The following four bottlenecks or phases of heifer development offer opportunities for dairy producers and heifer raisers to enhance heifer-rearing programs: 1. Colostrum Management. Harvesting and delivering an adequate volume of clean, high-quality colostrum in a timely manner must be the foundation of all successful dairy heifer development programs. It's essential that 4 quarts of colostrum (Holsteins) is delivered quickly after the calf's birth. Also ensure that proper sanitation occurs during colostrum harvest. 2. Ramp up milk intake (energy and protein) during week one. A calf needs more energy than 2 quarts of milk replacer twice a day will provide. From day two to day seven, consider feeding 3 quarts of milk replacer twice a day or 2.5 quarts three times per day. 3. Weaning. Wean calves when they consume 2.5 to 3 lbs. of a quality starter feed daily. Make sure free-choice water is available and consider leaving calves in individual hutches for a week after weaning, or until they consume 8 lbs. of starter grain, to help them to adjust to the change. 4. Lag phase. This is the period from about week nine to week 17 and includes the time when calves are transferred to group pens and introduced to forages. Avoid group housing until heifers consume 8 lbs. of starter grain daily, and wait to introduce hay to the diet until they have been in group pens for a week. Also wait to introduce corn silage or haylage until these animals are five months of age. Transition to a grower grain mix. These points are not weak links on every farm, but they offer a good review to see where improvements can be made. An additional four bottlenecks will be discussed next month. Meanwhile, remember that more intensive management systems that correct these bottlenecks are worth the effort and extra cost of inputs and labor through a reduction in veterinary and medicine bills and lower death losses. Click here to learn more about these heifer development bottlenecks and how to manage them on your operation. Back to news

Fall is right around the corner, and while many of us in South Alabama are looking forward to cheering on our favorite football team, this time of year also provides a great opportunity to tackle a problem we know all too well – the imported red fire ant.
Fall is an ideal time to treat your lawn, pasture, or hayfield with an effective control method, fire ant bait.
Baits work differently than individual mound treatments. Many individual mound treatment products are comprised of a contact insecticide and are often times "watered in" to activate the insecticide and eliminate the ants of an individual mound. Baits use a different mode of action, in that the bait is spread over an area while fire ants are looking for food, or foraging. Fire ants usually forage during the cooler parts of the day, and foraging activity can be determined by simply putting out a few potato chips or hot dog pieces and observe ant activity on around these food items.
Baits need to be applied when there is no chance of rain in 24 hours, or no scheduled irrigation in 24 hours. Baits do not work when wet, old, or stale as the soybean oil carrier can become soggy or rancid.
The bait is gathered by these foraging fire ants and returned to the colony or mound, where it is digested and shared throughout the colony. While baits do not work as fast as contact insecticides, control can last longer and into the Spring.
Economically, baits can be a viable choice if you have numerous colonies on your property. Conversely, if you only have a few hills, individual mound treatments may be more cost effective.
If you are interested in applying a bait treatment over a large area, the Geneva County Extension office now offers a 25lb capacity Herd Seeder Bait Spreader for use, free of charge.
For more information about fire ants, control materials, or management strategies, contact your local county extension office, or visit our website www.aces.edu

My 79 year old friend hand-made this set of two Kabuki dolls in 1958. She was pregnant and lugged the project back and forth to her doll making class in Japan. I can't believe she made the entire set. She said the needles were wire thin...if you see the hands up close you can only imagine tiny, tiny stitches being sewn. The materials she chose were perfect and so much detail went into the painting of the face. The silk for the hair was braided, left for a month to crinkle up, then steamed to create that wild look! The entire set is so amazing I had to share it with someone! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have since I found it stashed away in her closet (for probably over 30 years).

Japan Rams ACTA Through; Ratifies It While Avoiding Debate
from the but-of-course dept
About a month ago, the upper house of the Japanese legislature passed ACTA, as the first step in ratifying it. Some had thought that ACTA might stall out as a minor issue while other political turmoil went on, but it appears that Japan's ruling party has decided to push forward with the ratification. Last week, the Foreign Affairs Committee within the legislature tried to push through ACTA without allowing any discussion from opposing politicians -- which caused a ruckus, leading to a slight delay. However, after a few days, the committee passed it anyway. The ruling party then sought to do something similar, rushing it through a full vote, which appears to have just happened, resulting in ACTA's approval with effectively no real debate. In fact, it was mostly a non-story in Japan. It wasn't covered by the press and most politicians were basically silent about it.
This is fairly incredible, given the widespread protests we saw towards ACTA in Europe and a rapidly growing protest movement in Japan. Still, the protestors admit that ACTA just hasn't caught on as an issue in Japan like it has elsewhere. That's unfortunate for a variety of reasons, but they're hoping to change that with a protest on September 9th.
Of course, there's a question of how useful is it to ratify ACTA when many of the other negotiating parties (mainly the EU countries) don't seem likely to follow through and ratify the document in its current form. One report I heard out of Japan suggested that the ruling party there recognizes that ratifying ACTA is mostly symbolic at this point, but that it needed to be done to "save face" for the negotiators. Of course, if they really wanted to "save face," perhaps they shouldn't have negotiated for absolutely awful limits on how copyright can be reformed, while pushing for greater enforcement without necessary safety valves against abuse. Either way, the whole thing definitely has all of the appearances of ACTA being rammed through by political interests who don't want any debate on such a topic.

Wal-Mart Now Going After Search Engines For Linking To Sites With Black Friday Ads
from the gotta-keep-the-lawyers-busy dept
Specifically, Wal-Mart's high-priced law firm has sent a takedown notice to the site SearchAllDeals.com, which is a search engine/aggregator of various deals sites. The site doesn't host any content itself, but that didn't stop Wal-Mart from sending a false DMCA takedown claim to the site (and, of course, a false DMCA takedown is illegal). So, we have Wal-Mart, whose employees think deal sites are helpful, getting its lawyers to send out bogus takedown notices over content that isn't copyrighted, and then sending them to search engines that don't even host the content in question.
It makes you wonder how much the lawyers are charging Wal-Mart... and if the fees are being paid out of the legal budget, or the marketing and promotions budget.

If you use Lightroom a good place to start is the Enfuse plug-in for Lightroom. It is available here: http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lrenfuse.php
With the D800 I can choose up to 9 exposures with various steps between brackets. If memory and speed was not an issue, should I use all 9 exposures and what steps of bracketing? I would be taking mostly higher contrast beach type scenes? I was limited to 7 bracketed shots on the Leica M9P and liked the results but was wondering if 9 would add any improvement.
The D800 has the highest recorded dynamic range of any camera commercially available - period.Tony Jay
Compared to the D4 only at ASA 100, about equal @ 200 and after that the D4 is actually deeper per sensorgen.info
That's true but with HDR one shoots at base ISO.
Hi Tony,Indeed, it's often overlooked by a lot of people. Shooting HDRs is about optimizing the Signal/Noise ratio (SNR), and the best way is to collect as many photons as possible for all relevant levels of subject brightness. Shooting at the native ISO level is a first step towards that goal, shooting the darker areas of the scene with longer exposures is the next.Cheers,Bart
Your D800's sensor is today's highest DR sensor in the market.IMO you should first understand what HDR means, which is NOT a synonymous of doing several exposures.Then I would try to find out which scenes really need more than one shot with your D800. If one shot is enough to capture the entire DR from the highlights to the shadows with an acceptable presence of noise, you are wasting your time, resources and money spent in that fantastic camera in doing several shots. You never shoot more than once when doing a portrait because you don't need it, the same applies here.If you really find you need extra shots to cover the entire DR of the scene, I would never shoot less than 2EV apart, it's again a waste of time and resources, and a bad way to understand and optimise your digital camera's usage. Shooting 3 times with a D800 2EV apart should suffice 99% real world scenes (that adds 4 extra stops of DR to your camera's effective base DR: 12+4 = 16 stops, this is simply huge and in fact tricky to handle in postprocessing).Regards
Shame on Nikon. With such a high DR sensor I would even prefer Canon's rudimentary {3 shots, up to 3EV apart} bracketing.12+6=18 stops!!!
I take the camera's controls right out of the picture by using a remote control (Promote Control) and doing whatever I need to.Currently this is much less of an issue with my current body (5D III) that is fairly accomodating with image bracketing.BTW the Promote Control is also very useful in doing focus stacking.RegardsTony Jay

If one of your parents dislike your partner because he/she is not from your race,will you continue dating that person?

That is very different in Asia. When you marry, you are also marrying his/her mother. Many Asians also try to keep the tradition of taking care of their parents when they get old. Unlike Americans and other westerners who leave their old and ill parents at nursing homes, many Asians prefer to look after them with care.
Why? Because your parents took care of you, fed you, and raised you. Any amount of money will not be enough to pay them for giving you a life.
i see... :blush:
i didnt meant it that you would abandon your parents in a nursing home, im also against that (im not american btw). abandoning you parents is a big no no for me.
no, im not an ingrate child, i just think that in your priority list. the family you started (your children) is on top of the family that was given to you (your parents).
i believe that you dont have to live with you parents to be able to take care of them, you can live in a separate house and visit them every day or as often as you can. as i said before, abandoning them is a big no-no.
I CAN'T SPEAK FOR OTHER WESTERN COUNTRIES, BUT IN AMERICA, JUST BECAUSE YOU PUT YOUR PARENTS IN A NURSING HOME DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE ABANDONING YOUR PARENTS! most choose to go to a senior citizen facility because they don't want the upkeep of a house, need professional medical assistance, or like to be independant. most parents still live or move in with their adult kids when they are unable to take care of theirselves anymore. most homes today are built with mother-in-law suites(a second master bedroom on first/main floor with en-suite bathroom). most families can't afford to pay for their parents to be in a nursing home, especially if they have kids. But, if you have a sick parent and you need to have both you and your spouse work, just to survive, then a nursing home is sometimes the only option. stop being so biased towards the west. you want westerns to respect your culture and traditions but then you look down on us in the same way. different doesn't mean inferior.
and my family doesn't care who you marry as long as he treats you right. although they would prefer that they be college-educated and a christian.
Lost in Space
Yep, I Dont Care If My Parents Will Like Him/Her, Plus It'd Be Racist
Yes, I would continue dating that person, as I am currently dating him.
I'm South Korean, he's Indian, and we've been dating for 17 months.
I would continue dating the person I love, but if my parent were like that, I would get afraid, I mean for how long would you continue to date someone whose parents hates you? That would feel Really uncomfortable :/
안넝하세요~ 저는 밤비입니다 ^^
While that probably wouldn't happen with me, probably, after telling them how stupid racism is
Might not be on cause of school, but I'll try

I'm actually kind of scared of this because I'm going to Japan soon to live, and in America I've rarely seen couples that are Asian men with white women. .....Will someone love me?
is this really my life that I'm living...?!?
is it my own life so i would not care about my parents but i think i prefer to go out w/ someone who is chinese(same race)
ғαя αwαч, тo α ρʟαce wιтнouт тeαяs
Well, it would depend on the person I'm dating. If he's really worth it, then I wouldn't care what my parents thought. I'd still date the person. But if he's not even worth speaking for, forget it!
Never say never
I don't think my parents care that I'm dating a German guy. They've never mentioned anything and have never said that they wanted me to date someone with the same ethnicity as us.
Fuck you. <3
actually that happened to me.
my dad doesn't want me to date anyone who isn't white.
i was dating a guy whose laotian and my dad flipped shit.
i didn't break up with him because of my dad though.
Yes but i like swdish guys so i dont think i whoud date pepole from an other race, but i shoud never say never

Pft. You'll find someone in due time. There's people out there that's willing to take a chance and try something new/different.
Well, I wouldn't give a damn if my parents liked or disliked the woman I choose. But by just observing my parent's marriage, I would prefer it if my parents liked my wife and my wife's parents liked me. In the future, there will be less problems.
Thinning out.
one word for myself
the world is such a boring place and it's time i go
I think my parents WILL dislike anyone I'd date. But I wouldn't care. So what if he would not "from my race," half-breed, poor, etc.? As long as I like/love him, that's all that matters.

Puppies Make Sweet Music on iPad
It seems animals just can't get enough of the iPad. And now comes a video of Yorkie/Bichon puppies banging away on the device while attempting to make music. Is this the cutest example of animals using the tablet yet? We vote yes.
After their owner loads a music app called Bebot, which features a tuxedo-wearing robot that makes sounds based on finger movements, the puppies tentatively inspect the device.
At first they gently sniff the iPad, but they soon build up their courage and attack it in force, releasing a cacophony of electronic squeals, bleeps and bloops, which only seem to pique their interest even further.
Some even gnaw on the edge of the device for good measure and other tilt their heads in confusion when the app starts making sounds like a theremin. Watch the video and your heart will melt, guaranteed.

Three roundtrippers help lead the Phils to a 7-5 victory over the Orioles.
Home runs by John Mayberry, Jr., Shane Victorino and Erik Kratz leads the Phils to a 7-5 win over the Orioles.
The Orioles took the lead in the first as, with the bases loaded, via a Robert Andino single, a walk to Adam Jones, sending Andino to second base, a double steal by Andino and Jones, and then a walk to Derrek Lee, and with nobody out, Vladmir Guerrero, knocking in Andino, giving the Orioles a 1-0 lead, while sending Jones up to third base and Lee to second base, with still no one out. The Orioles then took a 2-0 lead as, with the bases still loaded, and with now one man out, Nolan Reimold forced in a run with a walk, forcing in Jones, while moving both Lee and Guerrero up a base. The Orioles then made it 3-0 as Randy Winn hits into an RBI force out, 4-unassisted, as Guerrero scored, while Reimold is forced out at second base for the inning's second out, as Lee moved up to third while Winn is safe at first. The Phils cut the Orioles' lead in the second as John Mayberry, Jr. hits a two-run home run, his fifth home run of the spring, scoring Ross Gload, who had earlier singled, making it a 3-2 Orioles' lead. The Orioles added to their lead in the third as, with a runner on second, and with no one out, Mark Reynolds hits an RBI single, scoring Guerrero, who had earlier doubled, making it a 4-2 Orioles' lead. The Orioles then made it 5-2 in the fourth as, with a runner on second, and with two men out, Guerrero hits an RBI single, knocking in Jake Fox, who had just doubled. The Phils then tied up the game at five-all in the fifth as, with two men on, and with two men out, Shane Victorino hits a three-run home run, his first of the spring, knocking in Josh Barfield and Erik Kratz, who had both walked. The Phils then took the lead in the seventh as, with one man out, Kratz's hits a solo home run, his first home run of the spring, giving the Phils a 6-5 lead. Three batters later, with runners on the corners, via a double by Michael Martinez and an infield single by Cory Sullivan, sending Martinez to third base, and still with one man out, Delwyn Young brought home Martinez on a force attempt error by Reynolds, making it a 7-5 Phils' lead, while Sullivan would be safe at second on the error. That would end up being the final score as David Herndon recorded his first save of the spring as he pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.
Cole Hamels received a no-decision as he pitched three and two-thirds innings, giving up five runs on seven hits and three walks, striking out five. Danys Baez got the win (2-0, 0.93) as he pitched two and one-third innings, giving up two hits, while striking out two. Scott Mathieson recorded his second hold of the season, as he pitched a scoreless inning, striking out a batter. David Herndon recorded his first save of the spring, as he pitched two scoreless innings, striking out a batter. Jake Arrieta also received a no-decision as he pitched four and a third inning, giving up four runs on four hits and two walks, while striking out two batters. Clay Rapada recorded his first blown save of the spring, as he pitched two-thirds of an innings, giving up a run on a hit, while striking out a batter. Jim Johnson pitched a scoreless inning, striking out a batter. Michael Gonzalez took the lost (0-1, 5.40), as he pitched an inning, giving up two runs on three hits, as he struck out three batters. David Riske then followed with two scoreless innings, striking out a batter.
The Phils had eight hits in the ballgame, with Shane Victorino leading the team with two hits, a single and a three-run home run. Michael Martinez (Double), Cory Sullivan (Single), Ross Gload (Single), John Mayberry, Jr. (Home Run, 2 RBIs,) Pete Orr (Single), Erik Kratz (Home Run), had the other six Phils' hits. Delwyn Young knocked in the other Phil run on a fielding error.
The Phils' grapefruit record is now a 15-8.

The Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry voted unanimously to report a farm bill that includes a new average crop revenue or ACR option for row crop producers and greatly expanded conservation, energy and nutrition programs.
But anyone who expects the committee bill to be the last word on those and issues such as payment limits only had to look at the outpouring of criticism of the bill from farm and environmental groups and the words of committee members themselves to see how far the process has to go.
Even Committee Chairman Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, indicated he would support some attempts to modify the bill once it reaches the Senate floor, which could occur near the end of the week of Oct. 29 or the first week in November, Senate sources said.
"I may be involved in offering some amendments on the floor myself," Harkin told reporters. He was answering a question about legislation creating a permanent disaster program, but he said he's also likely to support an amendment putting a "hard cap" of $250,000 on farm program payments.
Although the committee bill would reduce the adjusted gross income a farmer could have and remain eligible for farm payments to $750,000 in 2010, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, told the committee he would introduce much more stringent payment limit rules on the Senate floor.
Harkin said he believes the overall bill, the Food and Energy Security Act of 2007, will have support on the Senate floor and chances are good that he will still meet his goal of getting a farm bill out of the Senate and to a conference committee before Congress adjourns for the year.
"We're going to have amendments, don't get me wrong," he said. "We will have a payment limit amendment — the Grassley-Dorgan legislation, and I have every reason to believe that it will pass. There may be other amendments to reduce direct payments and put the savings into the Food Stamp program."
Harkin said he also expects Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., to try to pass an amendment that would replace the current crop subsidies with legislation known as the Farm Ranch Equity Stewardship and Health Act. Instead of subsidies, the reform bill would provide a federally backed insurance program that would be free for all growers.
"Quite frankly, it might get a lot of votes," said Harkin. "But, one way or the other, we are going to hold this bill together, and we're going to proceed. It may be a little bit different coming out the Senate, but that's nothing new, they always are."
One of the "highlights" of the bill, Harkin said, is a new Producer Income Protection Program called the Average Crop Revenue Program.
"It will give farmers an option of sticking with the old ways of doing things or trying something new," he said. "It's about time that we start getting some reforms in and start moving our farm programs in a different direction."
But USDA officials and farm and environmental groups said the reforms in the bill don't go far enough. Acting Agriculture Secretary Chuck Conner was among those criticizing the bill's lack of significant reforms in such areas as payment limits.
"At this point we don't believe the adjusted gross income limit that has been passed by the Senate committee with its so-called 'soft cap' represents real reform, and really equates to no reform at all," said Conner. "In fact, our economists believe that it will have less of an impact on payments than the House version of the bill."
Conner said the Senate committee's inclusion of a revenue-based counter-cyclical program "is a recognition that the current safety net has some flaws in it, a safety net that pays farmers the most when they need it the least and doesn't pay them very much at all when they do need a lot of help."
The National Corn Growers Association, one of the first and strongest supporters of the revenue-based counter-cyclical program, said it was disappointed by the Senate committee's decision to strip a "key component" of the program, its integration with federal crop insurance.
At the last minute, the committee adopted an amendment offered by Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan. The amendment changed the percentage of base acres eligible from 100 percent to 85 percent and removed a reduction in federal crop insurance premiums for farmers who participated in the average crop revenue program.
"While we are pleased a revenue package is in the final bill reported out of the committee, NCGA is deeply disappointed with this setback," said NCGA President Ron Litterer. "The amendment makes the revenue proposal a much less attractive option to growers."
Among the Senate bill's other highlights:
• The conservation title extends key conservation programs and increases critical funding. This will allow CSP — now renamed the Conservation Stewardship Program — to grow at a pace of more than 13 million acres a year, which with the 15 million acres already enrolled, will equal 80 million acres in five years. The funding will also continue to allow increased enrollment in the Wetland Reserve Program, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and the Grassland Reserve Program.
• The energy title provides investments in farm-based energy by creating initiatives with financial incentives to help farmers transition into biomass crops, and supports the construction of biorefineries from cellulose ethanol with a loan guarantee program that will provide up to 80 percent of total project cost with a loan cap of $250 million.
• The nutrition title updates archaic nutrition program rules, increases Food Stamp benefit levels, and stops the erosion of benefits that has gone unchecked since 1996. It expands the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program created by Harkin to reach nearly 4.5 million children in elementary schools nationwide.
• The bill's livestock title will promote market opportunities for producers; it will protect animal health; and it will strengthen enforcement of the Packers and Stockyards Act. This title strengthens the mandatory Country of Origin Labeling, with minor changes.
• The rural development title provides $400 million in budget authority for a variety of initiatives that will promote economic growth and create jobs in rural communities.
• The bill also greatly increases assistance to growers of fruits, vegetables and other specialty crops.

Trimble has introduced a new lightbar system designed for first-time Global Positioning System (GPS) guidance users as well as veteran operators who may want to transition to assisted steering for their agriculture operations — the AgGPS EZ-Guide 250 lightbar guidance system.
The EZ-Guide 250 system allows vehicle operators to steer tractors, sprayers, fertilizer applicators, harvesters and other farm vehicles with consistent pass-to-pass accuracy to help save fuel, increase efficiency and reduce input costs for field operations.
The new system features a 4.3 inch color LCD display that provides real-time "where-applied" coverage mapping and the capability for advanced, easy-to-use guidance patterns.
"With the introduction of the AgGPS EZ-Guide 250 lightbar system, Trimble has set a new standard for affordable guidance solutions," said Erik Arvesen, general manager of Trimble's Agricultural Division. "The new entry-level system is economical and packed with features, costing considerably less than comparable solutions available today from any manufacturer."
Features of the Trimble EZ-Guide 250 lightbar system include the following:
Easy out-of-the-box operation with 15 bright guidance LEDs and a simple color user interface;
High-performance guidance graphics that have only been available with more costly displays;
FreeForm guidance pattern that allows operators to work in different patterns and shapes that best fit the layout and contours of a specific field;
OnPath Advanced Filter Technology that provides consistent accuracy in areas where some satellites may be obstructed;
Built-in GPS receiver that is fully integrated with the EZ-Guide 250 system's display, making it easy to move between farm vehicles;
Built-in USB port that allows users to record their day's work and transfer it via flash drive to their office computer for generating printed maps and reports;
Rugged-cast aluminum housing that provides reliable operation and durability, especially when quickly moving the EZ-Guide 250 system to and from vehicles;
Upgrade options that include the AgGPS EZ-Steer 500 assisted steering system with T2 terrain compensation technology and the AG15 high-accuracy antenna.
For assisted steering applications, users can expand the capabilities of the new Trimble EZ-Guide 250 with an AgGPS EZ-Steer 500 system, which can cost much less than similar products on the market today. The system's open architecture also offers farmers greater portability on mixed-fleet farms. This simplifies farmers' purchasing decisions and shortens their learning curves while protecting their precision farming investments over the years.
With the new AgGPS EZ-Guide 250, Trimble has extended the entry point of its "good-better-best" range of guidance displays. These now include the entry-level AgGPS EZ-Guide 250, mid-range AgGPS EZ-Guide 500 and high-functioning AgGPS Field Manager display.
