Garmin International Inc. has introduced the G5000H, an integrated flight deck specifically designed for twin turbine, medium lift helicopters.
The G5000H features high resolution, wide aspect ratio primary flight displays (PFD) and multi-function displays (MFD). The system supports multiple display sizes and is scalable to support a large number of display and touchscreen controller configurations.
The landscape oriented displays have multi-pane capability that allows multiple pages to be viewed side-by-side on any of the displays. Pilots can simultaneously view their primary flight display, maps, charts, checklists and system synoptics, HTAWS, TCAS, flight planning, weather or video input pages.
The touchscreen management system gives pilots rapid access to the flight information they want, company officials said. It also has the ability to control a variety of operations within the cockpit such as flight management system functions, lighting, environmental controls, electrical power distribution and hydraulic systems. It has a menu-driven interface with intuitive icons, audio and visual feedback, and animation so pilots know exactly how the system is responding to their input, and the growth-oriented architecture allows for future technologies to be accommodated via software updates.
The G5000H also has numerous optional features:
- Helicopter Synthetic Vision Technology (HSVT) displays an "out-the-window" view of the surroundings, regardless of the weather conditions. HSVT seamlessly blends information about the helicopter's position with topographic and helicopter-specific obstacle databases to create and display real-time 3D images. Land, water and sky are clearly differentiated with shading and textures that are similar to the topographical colors found on the MFD moving map. HSVT alerts pilots of potential ground hazards by displaying terrain and obstacles that pose a threat to the helicopter.
- HTAWS provides graphical and audible alerts of potential terrain and obstacle conflicts along the flight path. Garmin's HTAWS includes forward looking terrain avoidance (FLTA) capability with visual and aural advisories to keep pilots informed of hazardous terrain and obstacles.
- Worldwide datalink weather solutions enable the display of graphical weather including NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, TFRs, winds aloft, echo tops, precipitation type at the surface, lightning strikes, storm-cell data, AIRMETs, and SIGMETs.
- Traffic systems offer TAS or TCAS I capability and combine ADS-B enhanced active and passive surveillance data to pinpoint specific traffic threats.
- Global Connectivity Options include the ability to make and receive phone calls, send and receive text messages and transmit critical data off the aircraft while on the ground or in flight.
- Advanced Audio Features including Telligence voice command, 3D spatial audio processing, advanced auto squelch, three COM support and backlighting and ambient noise based volume adjustment.

Evidence of a Great Weekend!
Coldstone icecream cake--
Owen eating it --
Outside on the new patio--
Owen eating the dirt--
From my little vegetable patch - I know most in the US are already eating from their gardens or getting really close! Here in the mountains if I plant too early the frost gets it - this is the usual weekend for the seeds to go in! They were planted today :)
Joe and I got to go out for dinner on Saturday -- we had a great night on our own. And look what I found while browsing Barnes & Noble! Love all the eye candy in this book.
By birthday fabric! You guessed it :)
I'm hoping to make a summer quilt for our bed, through Dana's quilt-along!
That's all for now - this is our last week of school and it's a full week!
Blessings -

Amy - your birthday cake looks yummy. I have enjoyed for weeks and weeks the quilt festival and thank you for setting it up. I am not good with the tec end of things and would like to find out why the "list" disappears from time to time - get a box with alot of computer code. I am only on 237 and have a ways to go. So is this box thing my computer that is failing to load the information correctly? or is it something on the blog end? On another note: would love to "mark" these entries but know it is crazyness to ask my computer to do so.... is there a way I could "list" all these blog spots to have for later? my email is firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks - enjoy the week - it will not be the last week of school for 3rd grade or 5th grade ever again.

Species: Western leopard toad (Amietophrynus pantherinus)
Status: Endangered (EN)
Interesting Fact: The western leopard toad's distinctive markings are unique to each individual.
More information:
Found only in a small part of the Western Cape Province of South Africa, the western leopard toad is a beautifully patterned amphibian with striking reddish-brown blotches on its back. A large, reddish-coloured gland on each side of its head produces toxins that help deter predators. This species lives on the ground and spends most of its time away from water, but between August and October large numbers converge on suitable pools to breed. Males call from vegetation to attract females, giving a distinctive, deep, snore-like call. Each female western leopard toad produces up to an incredible 25,000 eggs, but only a few young toads survive to reach maturity. This species is never found more than ten kilometres inland.
Although the western leopard toad can survive in urban gardens and parks, it is under threat from increasing urbanisation, development and agriculture. Many toads are killed on roads, particularly when migrating to breeding sites, and this species can also die by becoming trapped in artificial, vertical-sided water bodies such as swimming pools. Predatory fish, invasive plants and captive ducks also present threats at its breeding pools. Fortunately, a number of conservation measures are underway to protect this colourful amphibian. The western leopard toad is legally protected in South Africa, and a Western Leopard Toad Conservation Committee has been helping to draft a management plan for the species. Volunteers help to rescue toads from roads, and the public have been encouraged to send in photographs of the toads and their unique markings to help monitor their populations. By helping to raise awareness of urban conservation issues, efforts to save the western leopard toad may also benefit a range of other species.
Find out more about the western leopard toad and its conservation at the Western Leopard Toad website.

Players votes count for a third of Pro Bowl balloting, and Terrell Suggs's ballot counts for 1/1696th of that. But by voting for Ryan Fitzpatrick (and more relevant, leaving off Tom Brady), he's making a statement.
That statement being "I don't like Tom Brady." It's natural to see a rivalry between the passer and the pass-rusher on two elite teams in the AFC, but shit is serious. Suggs has ragged on Brady for his celebrity marriage and his whining. Brady famously fired back with ""They talk a lot for only beating us once in nine years."
Love it. So when Yahoo's Michael Silver got some time with Suggs on Monday, he had to ask who Suggs was voting for at QB on his Pro Bowl ballot.
Philip Rivers," he answered. "Peyton Manning."
He paused for effect.
"And Ryan Fitzpatrick."
We assume this has less to do with Fitzpatrick's significant lead in rushing yards over Brady, and more to do with the fact that Buffalo plays New England on Sunday. And hey, even if dark horse candidate Fitzpatrick somehow makes it to Honolulu, it'd be less of a travesty than Yao Ming being voted an All-Star starter.

Mitt Romney's tax returns have become a hot topic of speculation among political news junkies. Romney critics in and out of his party wonder what he's hiding.
According to Politico, Sen. John McCain of Arizona is in position to know a great deal about Romney's tax returns, for during the vice-presidential candidates' vetting process in 2008, McCain and his team examined 20 years worth of Romney's tax returns.
When asked whether McCain and his selection team saw something unseemly in all that paperwork that caused them to pass on Romney for VP, he said no.
"Of course not," McCain said. "I don't know what depths these people won't reach. Obviously, it's just outrageous. That's just outrageous. It shows the – it's so disgraceful for them to allege something that they have absolutely no knowledge of."
When asked why his team chose Palin over Romney in 2008, McCain responded, "Oh come on, because we thought that Sarah Palin was the better candidate. Why did we not take [Tim] Pawlenty, why did we not take any of the other 10 other people. Why didn't I? Because we had a better candidate, the same way with all the others. ... Come on, why? That's a stupid question."
Read much more, here, including an explanation from Steve Schmidt, who served as the top adviser to McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, and since then has shown himself to be no Palin fan.

Venable working to prove it's never too late
PEORIA, Ariz. -- There was something so liberating about last season for Will Venable, who experienced something akin to a professional epiphany at the ripe old age of 30.
The Padres outfielder hit left-handed pitching better than he had at any point of his career. In fact, Venable had a spike in about every pertinent offensive category while also offering solid defense, good work on the bases and durability.
PEORIA, Ariz. -- There was something so liberating about last season for Will Venable, who experienced something akin to a professional epiphany at the ripe old age of 30.
The Padres outfielder hit left-handed pitching better than he had at any point of his career. In fact, Venable had a spike in about every pertinent offensive category while also offering solid defense, good work on the bases and durability.
But that's only part of Venable's story.
In order to achieve all this, though, Venable had to first free himself of the mental shackles that he had placed on himself since his big league debut in 2008.
To close the gap on the player he was and the one he wanted to be, Venable had to first stop tinkering with his swing. He had to stop expending so much time and energy on finding that next great fix to his setup. He had to find something that worked and stick with it.
Once he allowed himself to do so, Venable soared.
"The energy we expend as baseball players is so great, analyzing things, overanalyzing things. … That can make it hard on you, and it takes a lot out of you," Venable said. "It takes a lot to grind through a season. But last year I felt fresh all year. Mentally, I felt good and my body felt good."
The only Major League manager Venable has ever known, Bud Black, has watched Venable's evolution from the front step of the dugout. He has watched how Venable, a former basketball player at Princeton, slowly closed the gap each season between ability and results.
"More than anything, he settled in on a foundation he stayed with and trusted," Black said. "He didn't tinker with his stance or his setup or his approach, really. He finally felt comfortable and confident with his hands and feet in the batter's box. All the things you see from consistent hitters.
"When he did that, we really saw the confidence grow."
So much so that when it came time to reflect on his big 2013, Venable didn't exactly go overboard as far as introspection is concerned. "One day," Venable said, thought about it, then swiftly amended his answer.
"Maybe not even one day," Venable said. "As soon as the season is over, you get away from the game but eventually you start thinking about next season. What can I do to put together another good year?"
With that thought in mind, Venable arrived at Spring Training ready to work closely again with hitting coaches Phil Plantier and Alonzo Powell on the less-is-more approach. And while some will cite Venable's home-run-to-fly-ball rate of 19.8 percent last year as a predictor for regression, Plantier is certain Venable has found something that he can carry forward and have success with.
"Experience is a beautiful thing," Plantier said. "He found his consistency. Will has always been athletic. Last year, he brought that athleticism into his swing. Because of that, Will found consistency. The day to day work was very consistent and it rolled over into the game."
Never was this more apparent than his dramatic improvement against left-handed pitchers, who until last season had given the left-handed-hitting Venable fits. His work with Plantier and Powell led Venable to a handful of chances against southpaws. He was able to keep his right shoulder and hip in where he did not previously. He stayed on the breaking ball more.
After hitting .216/.295/.287 his first five big league seasons against lefties, Venable went .276/.309/.524 with six of his 22 home runs against them a year ago.
"You don't feel that you're at a disadvantage at times when Will is in there against the lefty," Black said.
Venable's patience -- and his new non-tinkering approach -- was tested early last season, when he got off to a .206 start in April. May (.222) and June (.222) weren't much better. But, eventually, is all started to click for him, as evidenced by his success in July (.309) and August (.367).
Venable knew he was onto something during a game on Aug. 6 against the Orioles at Petco Park, when he took a fastball middle-in from Bud Norris and lined it into the left-center-field gap for a triple. That one plate appearance sort of convinced Venable that he was going to be all right.
"That was the one swing that kind of stuck out," he said. "Everything that I had wanted to do in the box, it happened for me. All of the adjustments, the swing I had always wanted. Really, it was more about the swing than the result. But after that, I was like, 'That was it … I'm keeping that.'"
That sits just fine with Black, who thinks Venable, now 31, is just coming into his own.
"I think [early in his career] some people thought that Will was one-dimensional. A speed player, a good defender and if he hit a little that would be great," Black said. "But I think he's got the tools to be a total player, defender, runner and hit for average and hit for power.
"I know a lot of players don't have that marked improvement in their late 20s and into their 30s. But with Will, I still think there's a little more in there."

By Sue Ann Rybak
Several public officials, including State Sens. LeAnna Washington and Shirley Kitchen, said they would not let the state's voter ID law affect the election in November at a press conference July 20 at the Center in the Park in Germantown.
It is estimated that one in five Philadelphians do not have the photo ID required to vote in Pennsylvania.
Washington urged citizens to act now if they want to vote in November.
"In my district, there is an estimated 40,000 voters who have no picture ID, and they are not going to be able to vote on Election Day," Washington said. "This will impact what is going to happen on Election Day in November."
Washington said the impact is "not really about me or you, it's about our president," adding that the voter ID law is just a way to disenfranchise "hard working citizens who take their responsibility to vote seriously."
"What kind of examples are we setting for our children when registered voters are turned away at the polls and are unable to exercise their constitutional right to vote," Washington said. "The Republicans claim that the legislation will reduce voter fraud, but our Commonwealth has the lowest rate of voter fraud in the country."
Washington described the public-awareness campaign "a movement."
"This is about our commitment to making sure that nobody takes away our right to vote," Washington said. "No mater what obstacles they put in front of us … we are committed to jumping those hurdles." us
Washington reminded senior citizens of the civil-rights protests of their youth.
"This is not a first for us," she said. "We want to take this back to the streets."
Kitchen pointed out that "even though Pennsylvania has been assigned $4 million dollars" there has been little evidence of an effort to educate the public about the voter ID law.
"This law is particularly disturbing because it goes after senior citizens," she said.
Kitchen and Washington both noted that the initiative was part of a nonpartisan effort to make sure that voters are not disenfranchised.
"We're stepping up to make sure this does not affect how we vote in Philadelphia, especially during the presidential election," Kitchen said.
Outgoing State Rep. John Myers riled senior citizens by implying that the Republican-sponsored voter ID law is just a way to "make sure Barack doesn't get the votes he needs in Pennsylvania."
"The bottom line is they don't want us to vote," said Myers, whose animated speech caused a microphone to fall from the podium. "Don't expect them to be helpful in any way. They want us spinning our wheels. It's a game they're playing with us."
He said the law was a test by the Republicans to see "whether we want to go back 60 years and not have the right to vote again in America."
Myers said the Republicans believe "that we don't have the education, motivation, commitment or dedication to get over this hump without their help."
"We gotta prove them wrong," he said. "We need to make sure everybody we know votes on Election Day, That's how we win."
Attorney Sharon Losier said the law was not about voter integrity but helping Mitt Romney win the election.
"The republican leadership has all ready reported that this law was designed in order to make sure Mitt Romney wins the state of Pennsylvania," Losier said, referring to House GOP Leader Mike Turzai's comment last month that the law will help Romney win in November.
Losier mentioned the 2006 report by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's Law Center, which found that 25 percent of African-Americans of voting-age have no government-issued photo ID, compared to 8 percent of white voting-age citizens. The report estimated that more than 5.5 million adult African-American citizens lack the ID needed to vote.
"These are undisputed facts," Losier said. "In 2008, Democrats won the state of Pennsylvania by 620,000 votes. Again, there are 758,000 voters that may not be able to vote. It is the biggest assault on the right of citizens to vote since the end of the Civil War."
Public Interest Law Center attorney Ben Geffen said the American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against the commonwealth.
"We represent people like Wilola, who doesn't have a copy of her birth certificate and the State of Georgia, where she was born, says they have no record of her birth," Geffen said. "Unless she is able to get a photo ID or unless the court rules this law unconstitutional, she is going to be disenfranchised in November."
He added that 18 percent of registered voters in Philadelphia do noy have a PennDOT ID that matches their voter ID registration information. Geffen said one mistake people make is forgetting to make sure the name on their birth certificate matches their voter ID information.
"If you've married, you also need to get a marriage certificate to document that change," Geffen said.
Geffen told the audience to "get moving, now."
"You can't bank on us winning this lawsuit," Geffen said.
Gregory Irving, acting voter registration administrator for the City Commissioner's Office, informed attendees of acceptable forms of ID.
He said PennDOT will issue a free ID for non-drivers and that if you were born in Pennsylvania, PennDOT "should be able to look up your birth certificate with the Department of Health."
Irving said one way of getting around the photo ID is the alternative ballot. But to qualify for the alternative ballot, he said, voters have to be 65 years of age or older or handicapped, whose polling place is not handicapped accessible.
"We want to make sure whoever is registered to vote in the City of Philadelphia has the opportunity to cast their ballot," Irving said. "We know it's going to be a long tedious process, but we are doing everything in our power [to assist voters]. We are in this along with you."
Hortense Kennedy, 86, of Germantown, is strongly opposed to the law.
"It's very upsetting for senior citizens who don't have records," she said.
Kennedy said a friend, who is in her 90s, recently "had to go through all this."
"My friend said 'at this stage in life I shouldn't have to prove who I am,'" Kennedy said.
On July 20, Secretary of the Commonwealth Carol Aichele announced the creation of a new card that can be issued to voters who are unable to obtain the required documents to vote under the original voter ID law. The changes come as Commonwealth Court is scheduled to begin hearings on a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the voter ID law. Under the proposed changes, residents can obtain voter ID cards at PennDOT offices after providing their birth date, Social Security number and two proofs of residency, such as utility bills.
"We these new cards will be a safety net for those who may not currently possess all the documents they need for a standard photo ID from PennDOT," Aichele said in a statement. "Our goals are to continue making voters aware of the new voter ID law and helping those who may not have proper identification obtain it."
The free voter identification cards will be available beginning the last week of August. The IDs will be issued for a 10-year period and can only be used for voting purposes.
Aichele added that "The creation of these voter cards is an important step in the implementation of the voter ID law. Everyone who needs an ID to vote will be able to get it months before the election."
Sen. Washington's office released this statement regarding the recent changes to the voter ID law announced on Friday:
"It's too little too late," the release said. "There is only two months to the election and this only adds to the confusion and it's just the governor's office trying to make up for the fact that they have written a law that was rushed through and the governor's office admits in their own statement that was submitted to the Supreme Court that there's absolutely no evidence of fraud-none. They could not point to one person. The senator is hoping that the Pennsylvania courts will step in.
The law still requires the elderly to get to PennDOT, which has limited hours. Many elderly people are in nursing homes or transitional type of living situations and don't have transportation.
Linda Riley, director of communications and legislative affairs at the Philadelphia Corporation for the Aging (PCA) said "it is an improvement … it is still difficult for many people to get to PennDOT in order to obtain these photo IDs.
Riley said "186,000 people, just in the city of Philadelphia alone, don't have photo IDs – that's a lot of people to try and mobilize in a very narrow window – just eight weeks.
"Rushing this law through is unnecessary," she added. "There is no justification to why it has to be prior to the next election"
Riley said PCA would be looking into ways to provide transportation for senior citizens.
"One week we're telling them they need a birth certificate, the next week we're trying to figure out transportation issues," Riley said. "Who knows what's next."
Ellen Mattleman Kaplan, vice president of Committee of Seventy, said that while the state is trying to make it easier to obtain the necessary documentation for a voter ID card, "the bad news is it isn't happening until the end of August.
"The question is how do we not only make people aware of the change but how do we advise them?" she said.
Kaplan said it was unclear who is eligible for the changes to the law.
"They have actually made it difficult for those of us who are trying to educate people about what to do," Kaplan said.
"I can't responsibly say to any voter to wait until the end of August because I don't know if they are going to be helped at that point and if they're not, its perilously close to Nov. 6," said Kaplan, who has to rewrite the coalition's guide to the new law for the ninth time. "My best advice is not to wait. We don't know what the state's procedure is going to be."
In a later interview, Geffen said the state doesn't have any proof of voter ID fraud. He added that the changes to the law would not be finalized until Aug. 26.
Geffen said the state would have to produce approximately 15,000 voter photo ID cards every business day from Aug. 26 to election day to provide photo IDs for those who do not have the appropriate ID required to vote in November.
"It's a solution to a nonexistent problem," Geffen said.
Voters with questions about the Voter ID law should call 1-866-OUR-VOTE.

Sister Bakhita- Song of Freedom
The year is 1870 and a young Sudanese girl is kidnapped and sold into slavery. For a greater part of her young life, Bakhita (or the "lucky One" in Arabic) serves as a slave, first to merchants and military and later to an Italian consul. The 30 minute docu-drama recounts the life story of Sr. Bakhita, her early childhood and slavery, ritual branding as a slave, after 20 years her eventual freedom in Italy, and later the decision of the young woman to dedicate her life to God (becoming a Cannosian sister) and finally her canonisation as the first Sudanese saint of the Catholic Church.

Guest: Will government-funded cancer service shut down again on Jan. 15?
More than 500 calls a day went unanswered at the National Cancer Institute during the government shutdown, writes guest columnist Nancy Zbaren. What happens on Jan. 15?
Special to The Times
I am haunted by the thousands of phone calls that went unanswered.
On the other end of the line there could have been a single mother, newly diagnosed with cancer, trying to figure out how she can be treated and keep working to pay the bills. Or a father whose 5-year-old daughter was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. Or maybe a young woman who just learned she has HPV and wants to know her chances of getting cervical cancer.
These are the types of calls and emails — 500 a day — that come into the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
They are the calls my team was unable to answer for 16 days due to the federal government shutdown.
As government contractors, we were among those deemed "nonessential." We were given a stop work order on Oct. 1. That meant that instead of answering the calls at work, we sat by our own phones at home waiting for a call to tell us that the crisis was resolved.
Now that Congress has hammered out a budget deal, we can finally get back to the business of giving people information to help them make decisions. At least until the next deadline in mid-January. Then what?
Cancer isn't politics. Cancer doesn't haggle or negotiate. Cancer doesn't stop just because the government shuts down. Some of those unanswered calls were from people who didn't have time to wait for the government to get around to reopening. They needed information immediately. Instead, they got a recorded message about the shutdown.
Twenty-five years ago, I was one of those people. My 34-year-old husband, Jan Somsen, was diagnosed with melanoma, the deadliest skin cancer. I had three children, ages 2, 6 and 8, and a short window of time to become as informed as possible. I wish I had known the Cancer Information Service existed then. Instead, I was going to public libraries and trying to understand the terminology.
Jan had a terminal diagnosis and was admitted to three different cancer clinical trials at the National Institutes of Health. Although he died eight months after we learned he had cancer, he had the chance to participate in clinical trials — with the hope of surviving, or at least advancing the research surrounding his disease. Those trials were at the same place that was shuttered by the government, and may be closed again in January.
Hope is powerful. Information is powerful. Will this vital help be denied again a few months from now because, once again, our elected officials can't do their jobs?
We've had people call and say they've been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and they don't know what that means. One woman who had just celebrated her 50th wedding anniversary called because she couldn't understand why her husband with cancer had "given up" and decided to stop having treatment.
We are not counselors, but we speak with compassion. We are there to provide information and help people understand. Our role is to answer questions and to figure out the question behind the question.
Wherever people are on the cancer continuum, we have information and can help them understand what it means.
Except we haven't done this the past couple weeks. And possibly not again come January.
To Congress, I have this to say: Resolve this. Stop sliding deadlines and procrastinating on final decisions and resolve this. You were elected to run our government, not shut it down. Reach an agreement worthy of those who elected you, and stop putting people through this needless chaos — especially people like our callers, for whom your failure to do your jobs has very real, harsh consequences.
No one wants to have to call us. But each month more than 10,000 people need to. They deserve to have somebody pick up the phone and help them.
Nancy Zbaren is the director of the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.

There are some serious topics that one can touch on when having a chat with the blond bombshell, Miss Jackie. Those subjects would include the role of women in World Wrestling Entertainment (strictly eye candy or real athletes), her own studies in broadcast journalism and where they might take her and the strains that the weekly travelling carnival puts on one's personal well-being.
But for starters, there's a fun little matter to discuss with the gorgeous diva, who sparkled alongside her Smackdown! cohorts last night at the Shaw Conference Centre. See, Miss Jackie (Jackie Gayda) has her own website (PlanetJackie.com) and one of the sections worth checking out is the "Application to date Miss Jackie."
Fingers on the keyboard yet?
"It's always fun to read that. There's been some interesting comments," laughed Miss Jackie from her home in suburban Dallas earlier this week.
She's left a comment from time to time on some of the more comical bids, but never taken up any offer - and it's doubtful she ever will.
On to more pressing matters. Gayda, a native of Cleveland and former All-Ohio track sensation, came up to the WWE, relatively speaking, the easy way. After an unsuccessful bid to get on the first rendition of Tough Enough - the wrestling monopoly's reality show - Gayda qualified for Season 2 in 2002 and, despite an injury in the late going, won a guaranteed contract.
While the Tough Enough contestants received valuable tips from a number of veteran grapplers, many of the wrestlers were perturbed by the show's premise.
Here were a bunch of hot bodies living in a mansion, travelling to glamourous spots on training vacations and partying like rock stars at night. The grumbles came from the wrestlers who'd come up the hard way - trekking from show to show in the back of a cargo van in the dead of winter, stuffed into grubby hotel rooms and eating tuna right from the can.
"We were spoiled quite a bit," admitted the five-foot-seven Gayda, who will turn 24 this November. "But we did have intense training from 9 to 3 Monday through Friday and then boot camp every day on the beach. We definitely took a lot of bumps, and that helped get us ready for wrestling but I never had to learn how to cook hotdogs from heat coming off a muffler.
"I think I found this route for a reason. I'm glad I got to go to Tough Enough, but it would have been cool to come up the other way."
After a stint with the WWE's development group, Gayda has been a regular presence on television for nearly a year - most recently working as the valet for Charlie Haas and Rico. She's had quite an impact, at times; her physicality has been groomed to where she can ably battle in the ring, but her ample assets have teased and titilated fans to the point of where she's become one of the hottest babes in the business.
Gayda has strutted her stuff in bra and panty matches, evening-wear rumbles and bikini brawls, but there's a limit to her disrobing.
"The opportunity has presented itself and I was the one who brought the "puppies" back before Janet Jackson, but I don't know if that's something for me," commented Gayda on the possibility of doing a layout for Playboy, following in the footsteps of wrestling beauties Torrie Wilson, Sable and Chyna.
"I know what my character is and what I'm there to do. If part of that is being a sex symbol, I know I'm here to play that role. If I'm ever uncomfortable with anything, there's plenty of people around to listen with their eyes open."
If her personal limits are tight pants with torn backsides and low-cut tops, that'll have to suffice. It's got Gayda this far and she's got plans for much more.
"If anything, it's helped me open up socially a bit. I was never a closed shell, but it's helped me be out in the public eye. When you're living out of a suitcase, it's great to be able to relax and just be yourself. I really want to give as much as I can to this company for as long as I can. I'm not using this as a springboard to anything else because I love the entertainment part of this job."

February 25, 2013 07:45 ET
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Feb 25, 2013) - HP (NYSE: HPQ) today announced new offerings that enable organizations to use unique contextual understanding to gain actionable security intelligence from Big Data to better detect and prevent threats.
For the first time, organizations can automatically apply sentiment analysis and event information to their Big Data and security event platforms to gain real-time visibility into the internal and external threat landscape.
Uniting comprehensive, real-time correlation with content analytics
HP has integrated the security information and event management (SIEM) capabilities of HP ArcSight with the HP Autonomy IDOL content analytics engine. This combination automatically recognizes the context, concepts, sentiments and usage patterns related to how users interact with all forms of data.
The new solution broadens the reach of an organization's security monitoring capabilities by bringing meaning to raw security data. By enabling the tracking and analysis of human sentiments associated with data, such as behavior patterns, organizations are better equipped to quickly identify threats that would have previously gone unnoticed.
While HP Autonomy helps organizations understand internal and external interactions with data, the new HP ArcSight Cloud Connector Framework allows organizations to easily collect application event and log data from cloud service providers. The HP ArcSight Cloud Connector Framework is based on industry-standard protocols, providing a single, real-time view into user activity and threat monitoring for on-premises and cloud applications.
Leveraging Hadoop Big Data for broader security analysis
The new HP ArcSight/Hadoop Integration Utility is a plug-in ready platform that seamlessly integrates HP ArcSight 6.0c with Apache™ Hadoop™. Together, the technologies speed the process of digging through Big Data stores to provide a more complete view into events and to more quickly identify security attack trends.
The solution links HP ArcSight's reporting, search and correlation capabilities with Hadoop's large, centralized storage repository, giving organizations the storage capacity needed to handle petabytes of information. Open-source machine-learning algorithms, statistical analysis, anomaly detection and predictive analytics can be applied to the stored data, providing greater insight and resolution into security events.
"Many organizations have not been able to access the critical information they need to combat potential threats," said Art Gilliland, senior vice president and general manager, Enterprise Security Products, HP. "With the integration of cloud monitoring, content analytics and Big Data processing, HP provides clients with the context needed to effectively stop potential breaches."
HP's premier Americas client event, HP Discover, takes place June 11-13 in Las Vegas.

�STATEWIDE- Pennsylvania students in first through sixth grades are invited to enter a poster contest to help raise awareness about the importance of dog licensing. The deadline to enter is April 30.
Agriculture Secretary George Greig said the poster contest supports other dog owner education activities as part of March "Dog License Awareness Month."
The poster contest is open to all students enrolled in public, private or home school. Students involved with a sponsoring 4-H club or scouting organization may also participate.
The poster must reflect the theme "License your dog. It�s his ticket home." and include the website
www.licenseyourdogPA.com.Judging will be based on effective communication of the theme and importance of the dog license law and creativity.
State law requires all dogs three months and older to be licensed each year. Owners who fail to license their dogs could face a fine of up to $300 for each unlicensed dog.
An annual dog license is $8.45, while dogs with permanent identification like a microchip or tattoo may be eligible for a lifetime license for $51.45. If the animal is spayed or neutered, the annual fee is $6.45 and lifetime is $31.45. Discounts are available to older adults and people with disabilities.
Licensing fees support the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Dog Law Enforcement Office, which is responsible for ensuring the welfare of dogs, regulating dangerous dogs and overseeing annual licensing and rabies vaccinations.

New to re-doing furniture, I answered a Craigslist ad without a photo for a coffee table that "looks like a surfboard." It was priced at " $5 OBO!! I made the trip out to the owner, purchased it for $5, and then checked it out. It was covered in a horrible red stain shellac, but this was relatively easy to remove and underneath was this lovely, warm rosewood. The legs had an interesting shape and and curved support design. I made a hefty profit, but I wish I still had the table--if only for inspiration. I also wish I know who made it and how. It was so much fun to bring it back to life.

Dear EkaterinaReplyDelete
Thank you so much for translating this document. I was always led to believe it was a travel document for my aunt who emigrated to England in 1907. Now I know and am thrilled to have the date of the marriage. Golda married Gedilah Monish aka Murlis / Moormish.
Thanks again.

Augusta could definitely support a nice motel and a family restaurant, but NOT those mentioned in a Viewpoint on Thursday. Those are unhealthy choices. And, Augusta does NOT need another drugstore! We have four already. That's enough.
Though Mr. Bush and Mr. Brinkman write such as to make all guns bad, what are they offering to keep a shooter at bay until the police arrive? Maybe they could get a shooter to read their columns.

MONTEREY, Calif. – After a 15-month deployment to Afghanistan from 2008 to 2009, Sgt. Janiece Marquez decided she not only wanted to return for a second tour, she wanted to experience the country in an entirely different way.
Marquez reenlisted so she could attend the Basic Pashto Course at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center. After graduating in 2010, she proceeded to compete for a slot in a cultural unit deploying to Afghanistan.
"I do think that our team was one of the most successful because of our language capability and our size," said Marquez, who was the only Soldier well-versed in Pashto. These abilities allowed her and her partner to split up during missions and build relations separate from each other, doubling their productivity.
Following rigorous physical and mental tests, Marquez and 29 others were selected for special all-female teams, each made up of two Soldiers and an interpreter. Each team deployed for seven-months to conduct village stability operations. They engaged the women and children of Afghanistan, who are often unseen and unheard, and comprise close to 70 percent of the Afghan population.
Due to Afghan cultural norms, male service members are not allowed to enter Afghan homes when women are present. Having female teams work side-by-side with traditional all-male units, allows U.S. forces to work with the entire Afghan population, providing additional resources of information to tap into.
Speaking Pashto also led the locals to trust her more than previous U.S. forces they had encountered. "I think some of our biggest successes were gaining rapport with the locals … We were the first elements in Kunar province to actually be able to go into the homes, sit, and drink tea with the women," said Marquez.
Despite her extensive language training, she still faced difficulties, since she spoke a southern dialect of Pashto but deployed to eastern Afghanistan.
"My biggest obstacle was dialect … so I talked a lot with the interpreters and studied my books in eastern dialect until I developed both." After a while, Marquez was able to recognize people who came into the village speaking a southern dialect, "I could pick up immediately that they weren't from the area, which was very significant."
Marquez's first time using her language on the ground was during one of her team's initial missions talking to an Afghan midwife, when they didn't yet have an interpreter.
In speaking with the woman and asking their prepared questions, Marquez suddenly ran out of things to say. "I pretty much used up all of my Pashto, so I do something that as Americans would be completely acceptable. I said, 'That's a really nice ring.' So what does she do? She takes off her ring and gives it to me. And that ring probably costs her everything she makes in a year …," she recounted.
Marquez immediately realized her mistake and understood that the midwife was culturally obligated to give her the ring.
"Our Pashto instructors at DLI were very specific about what you do and don't do. The instructors do immerse you in a language but you don't really realize you're being immersed into the entire culture until you experience it firsthand," recalled Marquez.
In addition to learning about the culture, Marquez noted that "DLI curriculum talks about a lot of flooding, famine, malnutrition in children, infant mortality rates, and war, so not only are you learning a language but you're also learning about what they're going through currently; they teach you what these people know."
The bonds she formed by being able to relate to the locals through their language and culture became essential to not only her mission, but also to the Afghan people. As she was leaving the country, they told her, "You can't leave; you're the only woman out here who really understands us and can speak to us in our tongue. You are our rock, and our in-between."
When comparing her first deployment to Afghanistan with this most recent one, Marquez felt her language knowledge and abilities provided a greater reward, both personally and professionally. "I used my language every single day in my deployment. If we weren't on a mission that day, then I was talking to my interpreters or local nationals on base."

Sumter, S.C. – A Morris free throw with just 1.4 seconds left in the game gave the Hornets a 56-55 win over the Coker Cobras in men's collegiate basketball action on Wednesday night. The loss is the Cobras second in as many days, dropping their overall record to 3-3.
The Cobras had difficult time controlling the basketball, committing 32 turnovers as a team leading to 25 Morris points. Coker also shot just 37.7 percent from the field and was just 2-for-16 from 3-point range. Coker did hold as much as a six point lead in the game, but was unable to hold on down the stretch.
Leading the Cobras with his fourth straight double-double was Mason Ambler (Atlanta, Ga.) with 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Ricardo Smith (Darlington, S.C.) had nine points and four rebounds and Delonte Doles (Roswell, Ga.) had eight points and three rebounds for the Cobras.
The Cobras return to action on Saturday, Dec. 5, when they travel to Greenville, N.C. to face division I East Carolina University at 7:00 p.m.

1. Re: Testing Encore projectsdavidp158 Apr 9, 2012 6:34 PM (in response to community help)
I have linked a .mov file to a menu, to serve as a motion background for the menu. Per the instructions above, I used the "render current menu" button, but when I preview it the navigation buttons work as expected, but there is no motion. I have confirmed the video has motion by viewing it on the desktop, so I must be doing somethign wrong within Encore. Any suggestions?
2. Re: Testing Encore projectsStan Jones Apr 9, 2012 7:30 PM (in response to davidp158)
Have you added any extra layers (particularly a background layer)?
Please post a screenshot of your flowchart and your menu layers.
3. Re: Testing Encore projectsdavidp158 Apr 9, 2012 9:50 PM (in response to Stan Jones)
Hi Stan,
The menu was created in Photoshop with background created as a frame export from After Effects. This background was just for visualizing the location of menu buttons. I rendered a movie from After Effects, which is what I want to use for the background of the menu. Per a tutorial I saw on lynda.com, I thought I could replace the menu background with the movie file by holding down the Option key while dragging the movie into the menu. Nothing happens when I do this.
4. Re: Testing Encore projectsStan Jones Apr 10, 2012 4:16 AM (in response to davidp158)
Edit in photoshop, select "Layer 0," and then (I think) use Layer -> Create background from layer (or something like that). PS will rename the layer "Background" and lock it.
Encore looks for the layer named Background and substitutes the motion for it.
When you add a layer (which is where I have had this problem; here you substituted,and I wonder if this is still the problem), Encore replaces Layer Background with the motion, but the Layer "My Extra Background Layer" covers up the motion and so the rendered menu looks the same.
Let us know.
5. Re: Testing Encore projectsdavidp158 Apr 10, 2012 9:34 AM (in response to Stan Jones)
Stan - Thanks for your suggestion. It worked, but took some extra steps.
I converted the "layer 0" to a background, and tried to use the "replace menu" command in Encore. Encore wouldn't comply, so I went through the "import as menu" command, reassigned all my buttons and navigation, and things are finally working. After getting the new menu reconfigured, I deleted the old one and Encore crashed. !@#$%^!!! So, I got to review the process all over again. Practice makes perfect.
Now, how do I indicate that my question was successfully answered?
thanks for your help,
6. Re: Testing Encore projectsStan Jones Apr 10, 2012 9:36 AM (in response to davidp158)
Sorry, my "edit in photoshop" (from an Encore perspective) means:
In Encore, select the menu, then select "Edit in Photoshop." Make the edits, save in Photoshop and close. When you switch back to Encore, the menu is updated.
7. Re: Testing Encore projectsdavidp158 Apr 10, 2012 9:59 AM (in response to Stan Jones)
Stan - Thanks for the clarification. I'll use that route next time around. After Effects, and I think Premiere Pro, have the ability to reload a file updated in another application. I was hoping Encore would have a similar feature.
8. Re: Testing Encore projectsStan Jones Apr 10, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to davidp158)
As I started writing this comment, I realize that the dynamic link with Encore from AE and PR, is a bit like the "dynamic link" Encore has with Photoshop. They are all one way: since Encore cannot be imported into AE or PR (or PS) directly. Encore sorta has dynamic link with PS as long as you use the "Edit in Photoshop" option.

Revision as of 15:56, 18 February 2010
While we are still using both CVS and Git, we will be importing from CVS and exporting out to CVS. Fortunately, Git has commands built in for this purpose and with a little finesse, we can use this process cleanly. A longer description of each of these commands and a few extra tips can be found at this StackOverflow answer.
Importing from CVS into Git
Fortunately, we can all share one CVS import. The following commands are set up to run on a server (currently, alperin.ca) and are being pushed to the "official" PKP Github account. This means that on your local machine, you only need to follow this how-to: HOW-TO check out PKP applications from git and do:
$ git pull official master
To setup a new Git repository imported from CVS, make sure you have a $CVSROOT parameter initialized in your session, and run the following command:
$ git cvsimport -d $CVSROOT -C dir_to_create -r cvs -k cvs_module_to_checkout
When you encounter problems with the initial import
The initial import of all the applications except for OJS worked just fine following the instructions below. However, if cvsps gives an error, it is not very clear what should be done. Separating the cvsps command and the git cvsimport seems to do the trick.
cvsps -x --norc -u -A ojs2 > ~/cvsps.out mkdir ojs cd ojs # the ojs2 at the end is the CVS module name git-cvsimport -o HEAD -v -k -P ~/cvsps.out ojs2
To simplify subsequent commands
You can configure the following:
$ git config cvsimport.module cvs_module_to_checkout $ git config cvsimport.r cvs $ git config cvsimport.d $CVSROOT
Once you run those config commands, keeping the master branch up to date can simply be done by:
$ git cvsimport -k
note: The use of -k is current in question, as this might conflict with the instructions in HOW-TO use git and CVS in parallel.
The nice thing about our setup is that it allows everyone to share one cvsimport instance (the one that updates the official GitHub account), but we can do our own CVS export commits. We could export all of the micro-commits in GitHub to CVS, but I think it will be easier if we just merge a topic branch into the master and export only the merge commit. This way we only run the cvsexportcommit command on the one merge commit.
Assuming you have a topic branch with the name "experiment" that you want to commit to CVS, you can do the following
$ git checkout master # on master $ git pull official master # makes sure the master matches the latest CVS to avoid conflicts # this is the equivalent of doing cvs update before you do a commit $ git merge --no-ff --log -m "#bugumber# commit message" experiment $ git cvsexportcommit -w /path/to/cvs/checkout -u -p -k -c ORIG_HEAD HEAD
Note: cvsexportcommit does not work on fast-forward commits, so the --no-ff is important
Note 2: that you need a working CVS checkout somewhere in your file system at /path/to/cvs/checkout above.
Note 3: Unless you have SSH keys set up, the above command might ask you for your CVS password several times.
If you're making a change in one of the application repositories and there are corresponding changes in the pkp library, you will receive a conflict because CVS doesn't know anything about the lib/pkp folder and its not a regular file that can be added with cvs add. To avoid this problem, we have to make sure that the commits that go you push with cvsexportcommit DO NOT have a change to lib/pkp.
more coming on how to avoid this
Once you do this, you can wait a while until the change propages across. The cvsimport command is set to run on the hour, every hour. So a few minutes after the hour, your change in CVS should exist in the official PKP github repository. However, if you commit within 10 minutes of the hour, your change will only make it across an hour later because cvsimport ignores commits within the last 10 minutes by default to avoid importing a half-finished commit.
After the change comes across, you can simply do:
# on Master branch $ git pull official master
This creates yet another commit in your Git history. The history becomes a little messy for the person doing the commit, because you have a merge commit, the cvs import commit, the cvs import merge, and the update from the official commit. You can, if you really want, reset your master to before you merged in your experiment branch with a git reset --hard and then pull from the official. However, this is purely for esthetics and makes no functional difference.

Around the time you read this, the popular Introduction to Artificial Intelligence course at Stanford University, taught by Sebastian Thrun, director of the AI lab there, and by Peter Norvig, director of research for Google, will be under way. As usual, a couple of hundred Stanford students will be sitting in the room. This year classmates sitting at computers around the world will join them. The pupils who attend virtually won't pay tuition (or get Stanford credit), but they will all watch the same lectures, read the same textbook, get the same homework and take the same tests. Software will help analyze their submitted questions, so that the professors can address the main themes each week.
I spoke to Norvig while attending the recent Sci Foo—an invitation-only "unconference" hosted by Google, the O'Reilly Media Group and Nature Publishing Group (Scientific American's parent company). Just two weeks after he and Thrun announced the AI course, more than 57,000 students had enrolled (70,000-plus at press time). "We hope our automated systems hold up," he joked.
Sci Foo hosts scientists and technologists from many fields, who create the session schedule during the conference rather than beforehand. This year finding exciting new approaches to improve education was a frequent theme—and those sessions were packed. (Linda Rosen, CEO of Change the Equation, and I ran one, on how to inspire kids about science.)
On the topic of education, here are three updates on Scientific American's efforts to inspire by expanding the reach of science (for more, click on the "Education" tab on the www.ScientificAmerican.com home page):
Bring Science Home. Following our successful weekday series of science activities for parents and kids ages six to 12, which ran through May, we will post more fun projects, starting in October.
1,000 Scientists in 1,000 Days. In May we invited scientists, engineers, mathematicians, doctors and others to volunteer to visit classrooms as part of our three-year (that's the 1,000 days) Change the Equation program. More than 1,100 have stepped forward—in fewer than 100 days—and they are in a variety of disciplines and located all around the country. This fall we plan to offer a service that connects these scientists with educators.
Citizen Science. One of the best ways to appreciate science, of course, is to participate in it yourself. Working with Zooniverse and a researcher at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, we are launching a project that lets students and adults alike help study whale songs.
How else can we engage kids in science? As always, we welcome your thoughts.
