I recently ran a couple of baby & toddler portrait photography sessions back to back and had a great morning photographing some gorgeous kids. But one of them was really grumpy and didn't want a bar of the whole thing.
How did we deal with it? Every parent wants a smiley happy shot of their kids with bright eyes resonating happiness and joy with few parents happy to sit back and let the mood of the moment shine though. It was an interesting session with the first gorgeous wee girl one of those perfect models born for the camera and happy to be the star of the moment. Our more subdued candidate came a little later and certainly wasn't in the mood to be in front of the camera. However – this little man had a more serious demeanor and just didn't fit the standardised smiley face we tend to see in a lot of kids portraits. So we all relaxed and just got him engaged in activity on the studio floor with his wee brother…. but still no smiles. What we ended up getting was my personal favorite shot of the day…. a poignant photograph of a perfect face with incredible clarity and a unique moment in time. It reminded me of why we are there in the first place as photographers – to record moments in time and try to represent more than just mimicry of other images we may have seen or been asked to create. So to answer the question I posed at the beginning of the article?
- Relax Mum & Dad Make sure Mum and Dad are as relaxed as their tension will only add to the problem of grumpy kids. Remind them that this is completely normal and won't ruin the time you have with them. We all know in extreme cases its best to draw the line and re-book sometimes and its by no means the end of the world. Everyone has their off days.
- Smile You can't expect your subjects to have fun if you aren't – You will often be a total stranger to some of these little fellas so you will need to establish some trust boundaries and a comfort zone.
- Get Involved Studio lighting and equipment can sometimes be scary to these little ones so for the older kids, getting them behind the camera to take a few test shots for you is often a great way for them to comprehend whats going to happen and why everyone is there in the first place.
- Wait Take the pressure off yourself and just be prepared to wait for that shot…. you know… the one that makes it all worth while and the shot that you would personally hang on your wall.
- Go with the flow Time to get unconventional – I tend to rig the lighting in the studio to give me as much coverage as possible so when these little ones go mobile, you've got the capacity to simply follow them on their journey around the studio. We've managed to get some great candid shots this way as they engage with various elements and people onsite.
If you've photographed kids for any length of time I'm sure you can relate to the above – however if you're just starting out – don't despair if your first few shoots don't go according to. With a relaxed attitude and practice, you'll be shooting like a pro in no time.

2006 marked my 26th year of writing about agricultural and farm policy issues. I can't remember the details of each, but few seem to have been as hot and dry and generally frustrating as this one.
Tom Barber, Extension cotton specialist with Mississippi State University, noted recently that much of Mississippi's cotton-growing area received no rain from planting time in April until harvesting began in September.
Growers in northeast Arkansas, the Missouri Bootheel and west Tennessee received ample rainfall and produced record yields. At this writing, some of the late Missouri crop was still in modules.
The fact that many farmers still picked their best crop ever, albeit an expensive one, is a testament to new varieties and improved irrigation techniques.
Corn, rice and soybean producers also had decent crops, although most growers spent far more than they had planned on irrigation. With on-farm diesel costs averaging $2.20 per gallon, some did well to break even.
Mid-South congressmen tried to pass legislation to offset crop losses to drought or high production costs. But the process became so convoluted that some who supported disaster aid voted against emergency assistance legislation.
As heated as the disaster debate became, 2006 may prove to be the calm before the storm that is likely to erupt when Congress begins writing the next farm bill.
Unlike 2001 and 2002, when the House Agriculture Committee wrote the current law, Congress is not looking at a budget surplus that could fund such tools as the then-new counter-cyclical payments.
In fact, with Congress looking at "deficits as far as the eye can see," most observers expect farm organizations will do well to keep the safety net tools they have.
And, while most farm groups say they would prefer an extension of the 2002 law, the Bush administration has already said it wants to overhaul it. Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns will begin making the administration's case when he speaks at the National Cotton Council's Beltwide Conferences and the American Farm Bureau's annual meeting in January.
Johanns has told business and civic groups that Congress should revamp the farm bill because 10 percent to 20 percent of the nation's farmers receive 70 percent to 80 percent of farm payments. We'll see how good he is at selling that idea to farmers.
In Congress, Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin and Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson will begin pointing the ag committees toward the task of writing the new legislation. With the administration gunning for farm programs, farmers may be happy to have committee chairmen who will probably be opposed to most of what Johanns proposes.
So relax and enjoy the Christmas cheer. 2007 is likely to bring a sleigh full of challenges for farmers and their organizations.

How's Your Health? Just Check Your Skin
What do lyme disease, diabetes, lymphoma and thyroid problems all have in common? If you know what to look for, you could spot them on your skin. By now you know the drill when it comes to melanoma: Any funny-looking mole should be seen by a doctor, stat. But other warning signs can show up on your skin too. "They say that the eyes are the window to the soul, but the skin is the mirror to your health," says Kenneth Beer, M.D., a Palm Beach, Florida-based dermatologist. "It's involved with all of the different organs—from the liver to the thyroid and everything in between—and shows how well the body is functioning." Of course, doctors will tell you that context is everything: Bruises that appear upon the slightest contact could signal conditions as serious as leukemia or diabetes—but if they show up only after a tough rec-league soccer game, no need to worry (and plenty of bumps, itches and rashes are no big deal). In general, you want to keep an eye out for any sudden and unexplainable change, and see your dermatologist or primary care physician if you spot one. Need more guidance? Here's our complete guide to when to call your doctor, and when to whip out the concealer and get on with your life.
Warning Sign: "I'm all red!"
IT'S NO BIG DEAL IF… you're flushing after touching an irritant or ingesting red wine, spicy foods or large amounts of niacin (found in chicken, peanuts, liver and some medicines). You can always switch to a glass of white—or pop an antihistamine (with your doctor's OK) before heading out for Mexican. And calm any pinkness with a topical serum that contains green tea, like Love Life Skin Intensive Recovery Serum.
SEE A DOCTOR IF… you're flushing for no apparent reason, a possible sign of a rare tumor called a carcinoid, which can appear anywhere on the body, not always near the flushing. Catch it early, and it could save your life, says Robert J. Friedman, M.D., clinical professor of dermatology at the New York University School of Medicine.
Warning Sign: "I've gone zitty"
IT'S NO BIG DEAL IF… you get the odd pimple or two, and they respond to drugstore fixes (we like the spot treatment, right, from the Clean & Clear Advantage 2-in-1 Acne & Mark Eraser Kit). In that case you can blame the usual suspects—bacteria or overactive oil glands.
SEE A DOCTOR IF… it's a recurring breakout that hits around the time of your period and you have irregular periods, unexplained weight gain and abnormal hair on your breasts and/or face—all of which could indicate a hormone imbalance. Natalie, 24, had these symptoms when she went to see Jessica Wu, M.D., assistant clinical professor in dermatology at USC Medical School. "We found that she had polycystic ovary syndrome," says Dr. Wu. Your ob-gyn can rule out PCOS with a blood test and a pelvic exam.
Warning Sign: "My cuts take forever to heal"
IT'S NO BIG DEAL IF… your cut scabs over and appears otherwise normal. Just dab with Neosporin, and cover with a Band-Aid until the cut closes. May we suggest a neon or Hello Kitty one. You can even use Krazy Glue, says Dr. Beer; just hold the edges of the cut together and apply a drop to seal it off.
SEE A DOCTOR IF… the wound is taking more than a week or two to go back to normal—that's a possible indication of infection or poor circulation in the area. And if every little scrape you get takes what seems like ages to go away—especially if you're overweight, have patches of dark, velvety skin in the folds and creases of your body, or are experiencing increased thirst and urination—ask your primary care physician to test your blood sugar. All of these symptoms are early warning signs of type 2 diabetes.
Next: "I've got a rash" and "I'm so dry and itchy" >>
Warning Sign: "I've got a rash"
IT'S NO BIG DEAL IF… you think you got it from an irritant (like poison ivy); if a cortisone cream like Cortaid gets rid of it; and if the rash is not in the shape of a butterfly or bull's-eye.
SEE A DOCTOR IF… the hives and/or redness don't clear up in a few days. It could be ringworm, or a sign of infection or drug allergy. If the redness is on the lower legs and you have poor circulation, this could suggest an underlying heart condition. And if your rash is in a bull's-eye shape anywhere on your body, Dr. Beer says to head to a doctor and be checked for Lyme disease, which should be treated with antibiotics ASAP. Got a rash on your face? It may be mostly harmless rosacea, but Dr. Friedman warns it could be a sign of the sometimes serious autoimmune disease lupus, especially if it takes a butterfly shape across the nose and cheeks. If you're concerned, talk to your doctor.
Warning Sign: "I'm so dry and itchy"
IT'S NO BIG DEAL IF… it goes away when you slather on a moisturizer with a strong water-binding agent (one to try: Kiehl's Rosa Arctica with squalane); when you dab a cortisone cream on it; or when you add more omega-3 fatty acids to your diet—salmon and walnuts are great sources.
SEE A DOCTOR IF… you can't pinpoint a trigger, and the condition lasts longer than two weeks. "Itching can be due to wastes that build up in your body, as when your liver or kidneys don't work well," says Dr. Wu. "Dry skin can also be associated with conditions like low thyroid," so if your itchiness or dryness is an allover issue, especially when accompanied by hair loss (even eyelashes and eyebrows) or lethargy, your doctor should run a blood test to check your thyroid. "Certain cancers, such as lymphoma, can also cause itching," she says, though this is rare.

Man dies after collision, utility pole struck
AVON, Maine (AP) � Maine State police say a driver has been killed in a collision on Route 4 in Avon.
Sgt. Aaron Hayden said Carlton Haggan of Strong was traveling north and lost control of his car at about 5:45 a.m. Thursday.
Hayden said Haggan's car bounced off the side of the second of the two cars he was passing, left the road on the left and struck a utility pole, shearing it in half. The 38-year-old Haggan was ejected from the car. He was declared dead at the scene.
Hayden tells the Bangor Daily News (http://bit.ly/UV7Sgw) that roads were icy in the early morning hours.

I always had this weird sort of theory. You all remember when Buggy was talking about the levels in Impel Down back in Ch. 527 Pg. 10/Episode 424? The was talking about how anyone with a bounty over 100 Million was sent down to level five. He then talking about how there is a rumor that there is a level six where the World Government keeps beast that are so horrible they want them to disappear from the planet.
That line got me thinking. I remembered what the World Government said about Ohara. They were all called Demons. Only for researching the Ponegylphs. What if there is a level six and there might actually be some survivor from Ohara there?
Just seems weird that they would mention a level six and it be for nothing.

It's been a laugh looking back at all of these (mine make me cringe because of how stupid I was when I wrote them).
Anyway, one bit of speculation I have is that since Garp retired from his position, he'll sail around the seas, saving anyone who needs it, sort of becoming a "peace main" pirate. (This is based on that second pilot chapter Oda made before starting the serialization of One Piece and for the life of me I cannot find that chapter online to confirm what he called his kind of pirates and this is me working off of an old memory).

Forgot to mention maybe Kizaru cant emit different light spectrums but can he bend the light around him(that would be crazyy)?? can any logia control there element that didnt come directly from/out of their bodies??? Also im guessing the void century included highly advanced high tech civilizations since oda says hes really into that idea and wanted actually to make a manga in a world as such....and also randomly how does rubber not being able to conduct electricity give luffy the ability to hit Enel?? shouldnt it just give him immunity to his electric attacks?

This is gonna be a very long read but I guarantee It will be worth your while.
You might have heard similar theory somewhere but I can assure you this aint copy of them because I made it way back then in 2008. I have been updating this theory a few times and sharing it to my fellow Indonesians on net. Been thinking to spread it to wider fanbase but I was having a hard time converting it to english(Im not really good at it ^^; )
nevertheless, I tried and finished it... so here we go.
================================================== ============================
Lets summarize things first :
As we know, there was an age called The Void Century in OPs world timeline. Except Rogers pirate, not a single living soul on this planet have any idea what the really happened within that gap.
However an Oharan archelogoist, Profesor Clover, had a slight hint about it. He told us that in that time there was once stood a prosperous and powerful ancient kingdom that ruled over the ocean. However, They had a certain enemy. This enemy felt threaten by the kingdoms existence and their certain policy. So then they invaded the kingdom and succeded. The kingdom was fallen to shred and somehow, the enemy managed to wipe out every single information about them from history.
Coincidentally, The end of the kingdoms reign also marked the end of The Void Century. At the same time, an organization called The World Government was built for the first time. Clover had a theory that the WG was none other than the enemy itself.
Now lets enter the theory :
================================================== =========================
There are 3 things that cannot be stopped :
Mens Dream
The Flow of Time
Inherited Will
As long as people continue to seek the true meaning of freedom, they will never ceased to be!
-- Gol D. Roger --
As these words first appeared in chapter 100, they seems pretty meaningless tome. I took them as nothing more than some random cool quotes.
However, as sthe story goes deeper, I realized (and some of you might have figured it out as well) that One Piece story has been consistenly following those 3 things : Mans Dream, The Flow of Time, Inherited Will.
Lets see :
I only picked 3 examples, but there are actually more of them. So, anyone captured the big picture Im getting at? or not? well, Here is what I meant :
Thats right, starting from the first chapter up till now, the storyline has ALWAYS been following this very pattern. Im quite surprised myself, weve been through this pattern over and over again, though Im sure fery few people are awared of it. I call it the golden pattern (because Gold Roger created it).
This made me think, wouldnt Roger has the pattern of his own as well? My curiosity was finally answered in chapter 576.
Spoiler for :
Spoiler for :
So apperantly Roger had this will, a will that has been inherited for hundred years. And he waited for certain somoene to carry on this will somehow it also has something to do with One Piece.
So whats is this all about? What was Rogers will exactly?
================================================== =========================
The Golden Pattern (starting from here everything is 100% theory)
Rogers will that Whitebeard was talking about, it actually wasnt his original will. Roger inherited it as well from waaay back then, from 800 years ago to be precised. Yes, it was originally the will of The Ancient Kingdom (lets call it AK from now on).
The AK was a big kingdom, it ruled over almost the whole world (just like WG does now). They apparently also had a pretty-advanced civilization. One could say that theres almost nothing they couldnt achieve with everthing they got at the time.
However they had an issue. As we know, the planet of OP contains of big four seas, east, west, north, and south, each were separated by the Red Line and the Grand Line. The AK saw Red Line and Grand Line as a big obstacle because they have been been preventing people from traveling from one sea to another, thus preventing the AK from reaching its full prosperity as well.
And So they made this project, an insane one, but has to be done. The project was about eliminating the Red Line and Grand Line to fuse the 4 seas into one big ocean, the united ocean. The called it the project of One Piece. In order to do so, they started to build some weapons which will be strong enough to destroy the red line (later called Ancient Weapons)
It turned out that not everybody was pleased by this project.. you know, politics. Some other kingdoms were totally against it, they smell a conspiracy was playing behind it. But the AK stood their ground no matter what. Guess what happened next? a huge war broke out. Its the AK vs 20 kingdoms who were against the prject of "One Piece.
The 20 kingdoms came out as the victor and they declared themselves as The World Government. Meanwhile the AK was reduced to shred, along with all their historiy, and the One Piece project was never heard again since then.
Unexpectedly, The AK has anticipated their downfall. Before the war begun they had carved historical notes on these certain metals which as hard as diamond(later called the poneglyphs) and hid them throughout the world, along with the weapons theyve built. The AK really wanted to make sure that their desire wouldnt die in case of anything bad happened to them.
the WG was mad with this fact and completetely prohibit any form of poneglyph dechipering.
but it's too late, the will has been passing through ages since then silently waiting for someone to recieve the massage.
800 years has passed, a pirate named Roger sucessfully reach Raftel and discovered the true history. He knows exactly what to do, but unfortunately his body didnt allow him to he had this incurable disease, remember? whereas the project needs a lot of power and time to complete, 2 things that Roger didnt have that time.
Therefore, he decided to create The Golden Age of Piracy instead, hoping that there will appear someone who is strong and righteous enough to complete the massage in his place.
Who will be that someone? I think we all know the answer.
================================================== =========================
Now how exactly does this project work? Will fusing 4 seas into a united ocean make Luffys journey worthy?
Let me explain it Its gonna be a bit technical so Ill include some ilustrations.
So here is roughly how the globe looks like.
Spoiler for :
Spoiler for :
And this is the flat(word?) version :
Spoiler for :
The idea of One Piece is to create a united ocean, a perfect ocean to sail. Therefore we have two jobs : fusing all the seas into one and eliminating Grand Line abnormality. GLs abnormality? Is that even possible?
Apparently it is possible for the AK scientists. The trick is destroy a spot where every sea on the planet (north, west, east, south, grand line, new world, and calm belt) meet in one place. There is a spot like that? Actually, there are two, and both need to be destroyed. The two spots are reverse mountain and mariejoa/fishman island.
a simple ilustration :
Spoiler for Reverse Mountain:
And here is the meeting spot, the circled area one :
Spoiler for the meeting spot:
Think for a moment there It made sense right? Mariejoa/fishman island also has a similar geography (minus the reverse canals).
The meeting spot are set. Next, the ancient weapons will do their job : annihilating those spots.
Ok lets do it to reverse mountain first FIRE IN THE HOLE!!
Even with the mighty power of the ancient weapons, the annihilation must be calculated and done correctly to get the wanted effect. If succeed, this what will happen next :
Spoiler for :
Losing a huge mass of land, The sea became even more unstable than before, a big whirlpool will appeared on the center of destruction spot, storms and tidal wave occuring everywhere. However theyre only temporary, after a couple days the raging storm shall be subsided.
And then, the magic began
disastrous random-weather on grand line and NW suddenly doesnt occur anymore
the magnetic field which make a normal compass useless are completely gone
Even the wind starting to blow on Calm Belt
How about sea monsters? Well, this is the time where Poseidon come to play. The Poseidon has fully taken control of the sea king and make them some kind of police of the ocean to prevent other sea monsters from going wild. (yes I do think this is very possible)
The ideal united ocean is finally created . The project of One Piece officialy succeeded!!
But is that it???
Its not. Theres actually one more after-effect, and its the most important one.
The big whirlpool that appeared after the destruction of reverse mountain, It happened because the water mass of the four seas simultaneously flowed into the center of destruction -- the place where reverse mountain was stood once. Logically, that means every kind of living things which originally lives in four seas were brought there as well. You literally could find every fish species from all over the world here.
Wait, was that sounds familiar? Exactly, the destruction spot has became that legendary mythical sea
Spoiler for :
The United Ocean and the legendary All Blue
At least 6 of Strawhatss dream will be accomplished because of these achievementt.
Now how about the spot at mariejo/fishman island ??
================================================== =========================
Spoiler for Luffy will destroy FI??:
Spoiler for it might be a year into the future:
This mermaid she didnt lie at all. nor shes wrong. She was actually foreseeing the event weve been talking about : the project of One Piece. And It is indeed Luffy who will trigger the event.
The ancestor of FI were actually well awared of this upcoming event.
How so? Heres another theory : Joy Boy, he was actually the king of the AK.
Ok I know that sounds so random. Theres a theory for that but lets save it for later
Like a said, destroying both reverse mountain and fishman island is a must to complet the project. Therefore, King Joy Boy made a proposal of destroying FI to the former mermaid princess, Poseidon. She agreed but as an exchange she asked Joy Boy to move her people to a better place on the surface. Joy Boy gave a nod and started building Noah Arc afterwards.
Joy Boy managed to finish Noah but short after his kingdom lost a great battle against the 20 kingdoms. The promised cannot be fullfilled and he apoligized to Poseidon through poneglyph. However he still promised her that day would eventually come in the future, the day when fishmen and mermen live under the sun.
(You see that Oda used the another golden pattern again here)
Conclusion : The promised day and madam shirleys prediction, they are actually the same thing.
The scenario is pretty simple : at the promised day Luffy will trigger the attack on the destruction spot, but before that, Shirahoshi will command the seaking to move all of the FIs citizen to a safer place (by using Noah).
Once destroyed, the same magic which happened to reverse mountain spot will also be happened here. The All Blue will appear, replacing the destruction spot. mermen and fishmen will move here later and make a brand new civilization around the Sunny Tree of Eve (if Sunny Tree has the same reputation with Adam tree, it will completely survive the destruction. There are ilustrations for this but I lost it somewhere ).
Meanwhile, this also marked the end of WGs reign because Mariejoa --the prime symbol of WG-- was buried alongside FI in the process. Luffy finally won his war against the WG.
Spoiler for Mariejoa and FI:
Spoiler for another ilustration:
Welll thats it folks Sorry for bad english. The theory was hard enough to explain in Indonesian, so I didnt expect to do it better in english.^^ But I really hope you guys understand what Im trying to explain.
I am awared that this theory has so many weaknesses but I believe it also makes perfect sense to some point so discuss!

Interesting theory, made me feel bad reading through it as if I was reading spoiler of One Piece's ending, which we know that it will take place lliterally YEARS in the future
if your theory is correct, let's say it is for now.
I hope Oda thought something beforehand why "the currently called World Goverment" against that Ancient Kingdom's plan...
because when I read your theory,
I couldn't stop thinking that they (AK) were the bad guy for ignoring these 20 countries wishes
and when the government started ignoring that many opinions/wishes on big matters like changing the shape of the world or even smaller thing like oil price
revolution and riot will surely take place, Indonesian like you will surely know what I mean by that
unless the reason for not to was justified.
and literally blowing that huge piece of red rocks won't just let you get away with few tornados, gigantic whirlpools, and storms.
small islands like Logue Town, which are many in OP-verse will be wiped out from the map itself due to sudden increment of Sea volumes and tsunamis
Imagine something like Entire South Pole melting due to Global Warming, won't be any Hawaii no more to visit
and Twin Cape which is directly at the bottom of the Redline? ugh I don't wanna even think about it
Brook might even not be able to see the island, let alone meet with Laboon
The one who actually control that ancient weapon also have shits coming for him since he will be exactly in the centre of that messes
but that's just physics, geographies and other shitty scientific theories that came along
these don't actually matter so much and probably won't happen in fantasy manga-verse in general.
Especially in one where you can freeze the sea or creating tsunami by literally hitting and pulling an air around you.
good theory though, this also answers my question about
"why the fvck no one reach Raftel and grab that One Piece yet?"
considering many years have passed since Roger's execution day
and strong pirates like Yonkou have been dawdling there (NW) long enough for not reaching it

Thanks! lol this is such a late reply but doesn't matter
Let's get back to chapter 301, read carefully...
now look at the last page, "this also means I must follow the guidance given by the tablets I have read so far... to the ending point of Grand Line, Raftel!!"
I think Robin implied that the poneglyphs held 'the key' to Raftel. In other words, Raftel couldn't be reached by any ordinary mean. The only way to get there lies on poneglyph, and you must read all of them (it would be some sort of jigsaw puzzle if you ask me. you have to collect them all and rearrange them to get the big picture.)
That's why not a single soul could reach it since Roger, because none of them are able to dechiper the texts.
so what's the deal with Raftel? What lies in there must be the final piece of the true history, as well as the trigger of "the big war" that epicbeard was talking about. And the big war would be none other than a mission to fullfill the project of One Piece itself.
well, at least that's how I see it.

I really like your theory and it is really well-conceived the only thing I dont like is the name for the "project" - "one piece". Well it is obvious that one piece is not a treasure of gold or silver, but as a name for such a project?
Well, maybe one piece of seas? no! English is not my native language and maybe I am missing the whole meaning of "piece" but with my current knowledge, calling a project, that brings multiple seas into a single one, "one piece" is something i wouldn't understand.
Maybe "one piece" is just a reference to such a project. Probably I am just too fussy but that sounds just wrong, the rest of your theory is really genius.

I can eat cereal just as fast as my brother, but he eats hot dogs faster than me. Can I jump around and yell "d**mn it, hot dogs are biased against me!" No.
this thread has become pointless because of the gross over exageration that is going on. first of all, the difference between #1 and #2 is not going to be so spread apart that it is going to matter that greatly. obvioulsy #1 looks better on a resume than #2 but most law firms arent going to hire someone based simply on rank alone. if #1 and #2 show up for the same job its probably going to come down to the interview, not their GPA. obviously #1 at harvard counts for more than #1 at cooley or most other schools, simply due to the reputation of the school. the arguement that i am giving is that with the way that law school works and how selective it has become in recent years, most schools are going to find themselves with a group of students that will before equally, and some that will excell and some that will fall behind. this is why a curve shouldnt be neccessary. it should happen naturally. students can still be ranked against one another, but why should it be neccessary for someone to receive a C or D if they are performing at a B level? simply because of the curve? that doesnt make sense. grade students and give them the grade they deserve, the class ranking will show where students stand in their class, GPA doesnt show that anyway. GPA should be used to show at what level your performing, class rank should be to show how you are performing in comparison to everyone else. why there are curves simply doesnt make sense. it only functions to hurt the job prospects of students at schools with difficult curves, and that is a school purposely putting its students at a disadvantage.
At Cooley students use the same books T1 schools use and learn the exact same material out of them. However, Cooley grades atrociously. To earn a B or a C for that matter at Cooley is a well accomplished thing. Cooley grades based on the knowledge of a practicing attorney. A Cooley grad with a 2.50 GPA could blow a tier one grad with a 3.50 out the door knowledge-wise.
People don't go to law school only for the money. Some go for the education, the connections and the "confirmation from society." Many parents, e.g., are huge believers in advanced degrees, and they push their children to do 'em.

|Rapunzel porcelain doll
Fairy Tale Series
by Geppeddo
Rapunzel is my absolute favorite fairytale. Never mind her hardships and the stupid romance, it's all about my fascination with her hair. I love long hair on people and dolls so it isn't a shocker that I love Rapunzel too, especially in her doll form!
I've actually had Rapunzel way before I collected Barbie and all the other hipster fashion dolls I have now. She's about 16" tall, not 14", as I had briefly mentioned on a porcelain doll topic many blog posts ago. I got her in a Geppeddo mall kiosk during the Christmas season, while I was visiting my family in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. That was 2003 and I didn't seriously collect dolls until around 2005, even though I probably bought my first Collector Barbie in 2004.
I remember my Rapunzel being 75% off when I bought her with the $20.00 my aunt gave me for Christmas. I bought her for $15 and got her a wooden stand for $5. I remember that clearly because I was so ecstatic to buy my own doll of my own choosing. The freedom I felt almost seemed like I'd never gotten anything on my own before. Maybe it's because it was something I had a passion for, going all the way back to my childhood that I never acted on. When you're a child, you are gifted dolls. When you're older there's that generalized notion that you outgrow dolls. Not to mention, I only had that $20 in my pocket (maybe some odd change too) and I was determined to splurge it all on Rapunzel. She had me wrapped around her little porcelain hands! The poor jobless student that I was, was defying an adult trend and spending the only allowance I had on something I was instantly in love with. Totally exhilarated!
My Rapunzel was also the display doll. It was later in the day and the lady at the kiosk was running out of certain dolls. I said I'd take the display anyway even though there were a couple of cute Cinderella variations and a Snow White staring back at me with the same price tag that she had in stock. As much as I wanted an unopened and untouched Rapunzel doll, I knew I would regret it if I didn't choose her.
I don't know when Geppeddo went out of business but I think I purchased Rapunzel at the time when Geppeddo was literally starting to liquidate dolls. I'm just happy I got mine when I did. She's one of my prized dolls because she represents a crossroad in my life when I decided I wanted to be a doll collector. It took years for my collection to snowball but she was the first of my many happy dolly purchases.

Not only does it look stunning from the front it has an equally amazing back too.
As if that wasn't enough she also sent a ton of fabrics and some very cute fabric labels that made my heart skip a beat!
I know nothing about winter sports but I do happen to know about packing for a trip and somehow there's always a missing mitten!
I wonder if the lost mittens just ran away from home to hang out with the lost socks. I bet they are smoking behind the bike shed hoping not to get caught and sent home again ;-)

What the heck!! I had done this graphic in an Excel spreadsheet, so my first thought was that it was something to do with the background color in there. After several attempts at changing the spreadsheet background color and the graphic background color, I ruled that out as the cause.
Searching for the problem led me to some posts about a change in Google+. According to a Google+ Help Page, "When you add new photos, Auto Enhance makes subtle adjustments (like removing red-eye and improving lighting) to help them look great". The page also said that Auto Enhance is on by default.
To turn the feature off, execute the following steps:
1. Go to your Google+ home page.
2. Hover your mouse over the Home menu in the upper left corner.
3. Select the Settings option.
4. Scroll down to the Photos section and set Auto Enhance to Off. I also unchecked Auto Awesome and checked another box in the Photos section to upload my photos at full size.
OK, so here's the really crazy thing. I was not a member of Google+! In order to change these settings and return Blogger image uploading to normal, I had to enable my Google profile for Google+. After doing this, I went back to the Settings menu, selected Profiles and Privacy and locked down everything I could.
There is an option at the very bottom of the Settings page to disable Google+, but I'm not sure what effect that would have on the settings I changed. I decided to leave it for now, but I'm not at all happy with the way Google forced these new settings and services on us. It would be much more user friendly to default new features to "Off" rather than make users spend a lot of time trying to figure out what changed.

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- The International Monetary Fund on Tuesday lifted the 2014 growth forecast for the U.K., saying activity in the country has been buoyed by easier credit conditions and increased confidence. Economic growth is expected to pick up 2.4% in 2014, a significant rise from an IMF estimate in October calling for a 1.9% improvement. For 2015, the IMF expects the U.K. economy to strengthen by 2.2%. For the euro area, the IMF said the region is "turning the corner from recession to recovery" and should reach economic growth of 1% in 2014. "Conditions are increasingly favorable in the U.K. and the euro core. Public debts are on sustainable paths, and fiscal consolidation is, rightly, slowing down. Credit conditions are favourable," said IMF chief economist Olivier Blanchard in opening remarks for the World Economic Outlook Update. Germany is expected to generate growth of 1.6% in 2014, while France should see an increase of 0.9% held back by policy uncertainty. The IMF also lifted the growth outlook for the U.S. to 2.8% in 2014 from an earlier estimate of 2.6%.

Currently Messi and Ronaldo are the two main contenders for the World Player of the Year award, however with some young stars starting to shine, others could soon challenge for the prestigious award.
Here we look at the top five candidates capable of winning the World Player of the Year award.
Eden Hazard (22-years old) - Chelsea
The young Belgian has been in scintillating form this season, and like team-mate Juan Mata, was included in the PFA team of the year, despite being a debutant in a league which is notoriously difficult to get to grips with. At 22-years of age, the Chelsea man still has a lot of developing to do and will undoubtebly be part of the world elite in the coming years.
Neymar (21-years old) - Santos
According to the great Pele, Neymar is already above that of Messi and Ronaldo in the footballing stakes. Perhaps a sentiment born out of pride for the Brazilian game, Neymar has some way to go before he is up there with the big boys. A move to a European giant seemingly beckons for the young Brazilian with Skysports reporting that he dreams of playing for either Barcelona, Real Madrid or Chelsea. Whatever the destination, goals and step-overs are likely to follow.
Isco (21- years old) - Malaga
Malaga's success has been mainly down to the young Spaniard. He's of the typical Spanish mould, 5ft 9, nimble and technically superb. Although linked with Chelsea and Real Madrid, Sky Sports revealed that he has recently signed a three-year extension at Malaga, which will undoubtedly aid his progression no-end. Having already played for Spain at such a tender age, he is likely to be involved with the national side in the 2014 World Cup.
Jack Wilshere (21-years old) - Arsenal
Perhaps the one thing stopping the Arsenal man becoming a world-class midfielder is that he is prone to the odd injury. When he has played this season he has looked a cut above his Arsenal team-mates. Lets hope he continues to improve into England's 2014 World Cup campaign.
Gotze (20-years old) - Dortmund
Gotze has been an integral part of Dortmund's success over the last couple of years and is gradually becoming a fixture within the German national team. Having made the move to Bayern for next season, its still to be seen how Gotze performs under Pep Guardiola. However, with all that ability it seems unlikely that the he will be anything but a key member of the side.
Or perhaps Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Cristiano Ronaldo will still be leading the way for the foreseeable future.

Dayton to Unveil Grants for Construction Projects
ST. PAUL (AP) - Gov. Mark Dayton says he will announce Thursday which local construction projects will get a slice of a $47.5 million state grant fund.
The governor is making the final picks after local governments submitted nearly 100 projects that didn't make it into a public works bill earlier this year.
Lawmakers put the money into the bonding bill and gave Dayton the final word on the selections.
A new ballpark for the minor-league St. Paul Saints and a Duluth parking ramp were among the projects that got high marks from state officials who evaluated the applications.
St. Cloud's application for money to build a new parking ramp next to the River's Edge Convention center received a 74 score out of 100. And, if the Governor goes just by the scoring system, will be left out of the money.
Also in contention are a civic center expansion in Rochester, a light-rail line in the southwestern suburbs and sewer upgrades.

We have a nicely running little Raspberry PI that we use as a Pandora radio at the Gold Coast TechSpace. It's a great setup and people have enjoyed upping and downing tracks on the playlists to get a good mix of tunes that we all like. We run the pianobar application which gives a really simple command line interface that works beautifully with us.
I wanted to make it even better by having some big buttons that people could hit to like/dislike a track or just move on to the next (don't want to ban it - just tired of it).
How could I do this simply? Well - I realised that by replacing the DFU bootloader you can turn any Arduino into a HID device to control keyboard and mouse (imagine the prank opportunities here people!)
Anyway - here is my MVP (Minimum Viable Product) that is now being used at the space and getting me early feedback.
I don't have the big buttons yet, I've just hooked up some simple little push buttons to a breadboard and an Arduino (Freetronics Eleven). Once I get it more finished I might move it to a Leostick.
Here is my initial arduino sketch, I realise now there are better ways to handle multiple presses in hardware using interupt lines or capacitors, but for my initial release this seemed to work:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61
Note: The numbers you see for the keypresses are not ASCII codes - you need to refer to the HID spec to get the correct codes for your keyboard.
Upload the sketch to the Arduino, the board will be doing nothing until you load the keyboard firmware. To do this you have to use the dfu_programmer utility that is in the standard ubuntu repos.
However for it to work, you need to reset the DFU so it can take commands, to find out all about this have a look at the DFU programming guide - the key section is "Reset the 8u2".
This is what I did:
- jumper the reset pin with the ground (near the USB connector)
- Whilst the pins are jumpered, press and hold the reset pushbutton
- remove the jumper, then release the reset pushbutton. Usually D13, will blink a few times quickly after releasing the jumper.
Now you should be able to run the dfu-programmer utility:
1 2 3
When you need to put the old bootloader firmware on (ie. to load a new sketch) do this:
1 2 3
Remember you will have to do the reset trick every time. There are quicker ways using dedicated programmers - but this worked for me.
Once the keyboard DFU bootloader is in place, when I hit the keys on my arduino it will now send the keys +, - and "n" to the Raspberry PI. Simple but effective.
My next step for version 0.2 is to put some proper coloured buttons on it, put it in a better case (probably an extension of my lego case) and tidy up the code a bit.

A young boy from Toms River has died, authorities say, after being shot by a four-year-old neighbor Monday night.
Toms River Police Chief Mike Mastronardy said the two boys were playing in a yard when the four-year-old went inside his family's home and came out with a .22 caliber rifle.
"A shot went out, and a six-year-old was struck in the head," Mastronardy said.
The Asbury Park Press identifies the victim as Brandon Holt, one of three children.
Initial reports claim the boys were 15 yards apart. Mastronardy said the victim was sitting in a go-kart/golf cart. He added that the parents were "nearby" for the incident; it was the four-year-old's mother who called 9-1-1 just before 7 p.m.
The victim was airlifted to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune.
Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato could not offer much detail on the incident, including where the gun was located inside the home. Mastronardy confirmed that more than one weapon was recovered inside the home. Officials canceled a 3 p.m. press conference scheduled for today.
Townsquare Media's Jason Allentoff , Rosetta Key and Tom Mongelli contributed to this report.

NEW YORK (AP) – The lone U.S. adoption agency accredited in Kyrgyzstan is shutting down due to financial troubles, a new setback for about 15 American families battling since 2008 to complete adoptions there.
The North Carolina-based agency, Christian World Adoption, said an array of factors in Kyrgyzstan and elsewhere abroad had boosted its costs and cut its income to the point where it would file for bankruptcy.
Another U.S. adoption agency also is closing, blaming Russia's recently imposed ban on adoptions by Americans. Illinois-based Adoption ARK said its program in Russia had provided more than half of its income.
The two closures highlight the challenges facing many U.S. agencies that specialize in international adoptions. Americans adopted 8,668 foreign children last year, down 62 percent from the peak of 22,884 in 2004.

Logistics Management 2012 Salary Survey
The highest logistics and supply chain salaries continue to be earned by those who concentrate on adapting new technological advances and maintain a life-long commitment to learning. View our latest salary survey.
in the NewsU.S. Port Update Part 1: Infrastructure Shortfalls Driving Innovation Intelligent Vision-based Sortation & Tracking Systems Digitizing the complex supply chain Smartrac and Axzon enter partnership Despite sluggish December, IANA reports 2018 intermodal volumes post annual gains More News
According to the findings of Logistics Management's 28th Annual Salary Survey, average earnings and compensation have actually leveled off over the past year. However, our research team also found that an aging workforce is giving way to younger, more highly trained professionals who also happen to be savvy technologists. For the logistics professionals who have adopted today's technological tools, higher salaries are clearly corresponding.
But our research team warns that the cutting edge skills that newlyhired workers might have coming out of college are going to be obsolete in three years to five years, so they have to determine how to keep improving in key areas such as decision analysis, IT tools, cross-functional and cross organizational teaming, as well as finance.
Also worth noting, say our researchers, is that now, more than ever, experience pays. Young people joining the workforce should aim to grow within their current organization, rather than chasing after that better offer. In fact, our survey indicates that the long-term payoff could be substantial.
This year's results, based on 801 qualified LM reader respondents, indicate that 64 percent did see a modest salary increase in 2011. Of that number, the average bump was 6 percent.
Those respondents with the title of "logistic manager" earned an average salary of $95,479 in 2010 and brought in a slightly higher $96,120 in 2011. For supply chain managers, the average increase was more impressive: up from $100,159 in 2010 to $128,335 in 2011. Corporate or division managers made significant salary gains as well. They earned an average of $157,320 in 2011 versus $138,630 in 2010. The overall median this year bumped up a meager $1,000 to $91,000.
Educators and executive recruiters echoed this sentiment during interviews in the weeks immediately following the release of this year's salary survey data.
"Talent management—recruitment, development, and retention—is an increasing challenge across many fronts in supply chain management as the discipline and business becomes more complex," says Dr. Theodore Stank, professor of logistics at the University of Tennessee. He says that the move toward e-commerce is just one way that "old dogs" have to learn new tricks, while companies are also struggling to find people with good decision analysis skills in order to use all of the new data available to them.
"Most organizations do not have a well-articulated talent management strategy," says Stank. "Business executives need to ask a number of key questions: What kinds of new people do they need to buy from the market? What can they develop in the people they already have? How do they keep people progressing in their careers to deal with tomorrow's new challenges? The companies that are figuring this out first are winning the war for talent."
The Logistics Management and PRG research teams also found that logistics professionals with a skill set including information technology are among the highest paid. This did not surprise Stank. His advice for young and old alike is to "stay thirsty, my friends." He believes that everyone at a management level must be committed to a lifetime of learning.
The same can't be said for moving from one geographic area to another; however, as our survey shows, working in the nation's heartland has some clear economic advantages. Not only is the cost of living lower there, the concentration of manufacturing and heavy industry remains rooted in this region. While not leading the pack in base salary levels, 36 percent of this year's respondents came from the Midwest, earning an average of $106,835. The Southeast earned the highest average salary at $117,100, New England respondents earned an average $109,575, and the West earned an average $102,465.
Getting them to "settle down" might be made easier by providing bonuses based on performance, says Brenda Gautier, director of carrier engagement for MW Logistics, LLC in Dallas. "Given the added responsibilities logistics managers are taking on these days, we expect them to work smarter and be more efficient," she says. "And if they can contribute to the company's bottom line, they should get something beyond their salary at the end of the year."

Scripture: Hosea (NIV) 2:23 I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called, "Not my loved one." I will say to those called, "Not my people, You are my people;" and they will say, "You are my God."
Observation: The nation of Israel today serves as a monument for the entire world to see the truth that God keeps His promises! In this verse He promised to bring them back to the land He gave Abraham. People in the world may say that they are not the people of God, BUT GOD SAYS, "You are my people!" And soon they will say, "You are my God."
Application: This is the relationship God wants with me. God wants everyone to know that Leon belongs to Him! I am HIS child! I am HIS servant!" But not only does Leon belong to God, God belongs to Leon! He is MY God! I am HIS; He is MINE!
Prayer: Lord, I hear you tell me that I am your child; today I want to tell you and show the world that You are my God! Amen

Empty Bowls, presented by Memorial United Methodist Church in Thomasville, is not about selling handmade bowls — it's about helping the community.
The second annual Empty Bowls, presented by Memorial United Methodist Church in Thomasville, is not about selling handmade bowls — it's about helping the community.
Sandy McGhee, a coordinator for the project, said she had seen something similar to the Empty Bowls event in a newsletter, and God began to lay a new project on her heart. After talking with Tracy Brinkley, who worked with the church's mission committee and Project Divine Interruption, the associate pastor and meeting with the coordinator from High Point's event, the inaugural Empty Bowls event in Thomasville came together last March.
"We started with 180 bowls, it grew to 200 and ended up selling 300 tickets last year," McGhee said, noting this employed the talents of about eight potters in the Davidson County area. "We feel like this event has been blessed by God from the beginning."
This year's event has grown to 400 tickets and 12 potters.
Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to combat hunger created by The Imagine Render. The premise of the event is based upon the community working together. Potters create handmade bowls, and the community is invited to a simple meal of soup and bread in exchange for a cash donation. The guests take the hand-made bowls home as a reminder of world hunger, and the money raised is donated to an organization that fights hunger.
The funds generated by Memorial United Methodist Church's Empty Bowls will be split evenly between two charities: Project Divine Interruption and Cooperative Community Ministries. Project Divine Interruption focuses on providing food and hygiene items to students in the Thomasville City Schools who are homeless or displaced. Cooperative Community Ministries is similar as it works to provide emergency needs to Thomasville citizens relating to health, food, housing and clothing. McGhee said to be a part of Empty Bowls, the money raised at the event must be used to fight hunger.
McGhee noted that many Empty Bowls events have to use multiple restaurants to obtain enough donated soup to feed the numerous guests, but Memorial UMC's event has been blessed to have Sunrise Diner in Thomasville step in to fulfill the complete need.
"This is truly a community event in both attendance and donations," Brinkley said. "These businesses that are donating their food, items and time are not doing it out of their surplus; everyone is sacrificing to help people."
The event has caught so much traction in people's hearts, tickets sold out three weeks before the event. But not only is the mission close to the community's heart, but area potters as well.
Wanda Cox, one of the owners of the Purple Pig Emporium in Lexington, is a potter. She joined the event in its inaugural year and was more than pleased to jump on board again.
"I like the mission of bringing recognition to hunger because it is not just worldwide but local, too," Cox said. "I hope people take one of my bowls home and when they look at it, it's a reminder to reach into their pantry and give a little bit more."
Each potter's bowls will come out differently as they infuse their individual style and personality into each piece. Cox's bowls take that individuality a step further as she doesn't measure the clay but grabs a hunk and goes to work. The result is each bowl is a different size and shape, and instead of dipping the finished clay piece in glaze, she paints it on. Cox committed to provide 25 bowls for this year's event.
Amber Zander of Thomasville is another potter who came back for the second year.
"I'm a member of the church, and anything I can do to help, I'm happy to do it," Zander explained. "It's such a wonderful cause, and I like the fact that it stays local."
Zander said she has spent at least 60 hours creating 120 bowls for the event. She doesn't have a brick and mortar shop but sells her pottery at festivals, craft fairs and occasionally on consignment at local stores.
Missons Pottery and More's owner also contributed the first year and came back this year. Tommy Davis said he had a desire to help people, and once McGhee asked him to be a part of the event, he knew he wanted to participate.
"I do it somewhat to help my own business. If someone sees my bowls and likes them, they can come to my shop and buy more," Davis explained. "That in turns helps me help more people."
Missions Pottery in Lexington is slightly different from an everyday retail store. Davis donates all the profits from the sale of his pottery to missionaries and mission-driven events and programs around the globe.
Now come March 22, tables will be scattered with many different colors, shapes and sizes of pottery. About 400 guests will enjoy a bowl of soup and participate in a silent auction in conjunction with event. During the first year, between the tickets and the silent auction, Memorial UMC's Empty Bowls raised about $9,400. McGhee said she expects to exceed this number.
"We've all been stunned with how blessed this project has been and how God's hand has been in it from the start," Brinkley added.

Mobile app developers and network engineers are in high demand in the private sector, driven largely by investment in mobility, virtualization and unified communications, according to recruitment firm Hays.
The Hays report, covering job trends between January and March 2013, shows mobile app developers and network engineers are in high demand in private enterprises while Drupal, SharePoint and Oracle developers, along with business, change and test analysts are in demand in the public sector.
In the private sector, mobility is driving demand for developers with experience in iOS and Android applications. Network upgrades and unified communications are driving the need for network engineers, while virtualization is fuelling the requirement for engineers across greenfield projects.
In the public sector, more organisations are using SharePoint and Drupal, and the challenge in finding candidates with clearance to work at the Department of Defence is stimulating demand for candidates who have experience with these technologies.
The demand for Oracle developers is due to more government departments upgrading from Oracle Database 11i to Oracle Database 12. Business analysts with government tender writing experience and planning for new projects, and test analysts with diverse industry experience are also in demand.
Hays' senior regional director of IT, Peter Noblet, said employers are looking for candidates who "can take a step up to fill a role rather than have someone more senior take a step back" and are being cautious about candidates who have "moved around too often".
Other roles that are in high demand in the private sector include change and transformation managers, security specialists, infrastructure support workers, strategy and architecture experts. In the public sector, project managers, helpdesk staff, workers with skills in Windows 7 and 8, Desktop with SCCM and document management are also needed.

Anita Lo: The chef and owner of Michel-star rated Annisa in Greenwich Village is also the author of "Cooking Without Borders." She has been featured on CNN, "Top Chef: Masters" and "Iron Chef America."
For leeks:
2 tablespoons butter
2 leek whites, cleaned and thinly sliced, about 1 1/2 cups
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
A few grinds of black pepper
For potatoes:
4 large Idaho potatoes, peeled
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup neutral-flavored vegetable oil
5 ounces raclette cheese, grated
1 To make the leeks: Heat large saute pan over high heat. Add the butter and swirl. Lower the heat to medium, add the leeks, and stir. Cook until very soft and wilted but not browned. Add the herbs and season with the salt and pepper. Remove to a bowl.
2 To make the potatoes: Working quickly to prevent oxidation, grate the potatoes on the large holes of the box grater or in a food processor, season with salt and pepper, and toss in a large bowl to combine. Immediately put the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze, twisting to extract as much liquid as possible.
4 Heat a 10-inch nonstick saute pan over high heat. Add the oil and when hot, add half of the potatoes. Press with a spatula to form a cake the size of the bottom of the pan. Add the leek mixture and spread almost to the edges. Do the same with the raclette; then add the remaining potatoes to cover. Press with a spatula to form and enclosed potato cake stuffed with the leeks and cheese. When the bottom is browned to a crisp, flip. Add more oil as necessary and cook the other side until golden and crisp.
5 Remove to a cutting board and cut into wedges.
Serves 4.

EXPERT SECRETS | Best hairstyling secret of 2011!
Here's a taste...
Can you tell which picture is before, which is after? If not, have those eyes checked, love. I can reveal that this costs zero dollars, requires zero product and even works on a butchered barnet that's thin and fine like mine. For real. I mean the husband hasn't titled my before bun "the pencil eraser" without cause.
The full tutorial is coming soon [tomorrow.... as my sodding USB cable has gone and hidden itself]... and we'll keep 'em coming throughout the month.
We figure our December Advent calendar this year should be a month of gifts TO YOU instead of gift ideas for others. And experiences are more fun and lasting than things anyway. Teach a man to fish girl to do her hair and all that.
[Editor's note: Please excuse the crackpot pictures. Taken post-workout with my phone. Classy, I know. but too excited to wait... or, indeed, put on makeup, or something other than workout gear for my closeup, dahling.]
