Pune: India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni said he was worried when England were cruising at one stage and lauded his bowlers, especially Yuvraj Singh for turning the tide for them in the first Twenty20 match.
England were off to a flying start, reaching 76 in just eight overs.
"The pressure was on the bowlers and it was important from the eighth over onwards that we were on top. Yuvraj was brilliant. I thought he bowled really well at the right time. I was a bit worried because they got off to a flying start but Ashwin bowled well in the first three overs," Dhoni said after India won the match by five wickets.
Yuvraj took three wickets and conceded just 19 runs in his four-over quota.
Dhoni said Yuvraj kept his cool under pressure and the win was morale boosting after crushing Test series defeat.
"Every bowler apart from Yuvraj bowled one bad over but overall it was a good performance. In the shorter formats, we have done quite well and it builds the confidence," he said.
England skipper Eoin Morgan said that not putting enough runs on the board hurt them badly.
"We lacked some discipline with the batting, Alex Hales did well but we lacked about 15-20 runs. We never seemed to get going, we lost wickets. We didn`t get the early wickets but we always though we were in the game, and it`s tough defending that score,"
The visiting captain was confident that his side will regroup and comeback.
"We`re a young side and we`ve shown a lot of promise, we`ll have to pick ourselves up."
Yuvraj, adjudged man of the match, said batting with straight bat helped him.
"When it comes to T20 I like to express myself. I try to hit everything straight and see how it goes," the left-hander said.
"Chasing was a good idea because of the dew and the ball comes on later in the day. I just need to keep playing, keep hitting the ball straight. I want to play as much as possible, train harder, work harder," he added.
Asked about his bowling success, Yuvraj said, "I tried to bowl a bit slow, I thought that might help, tried not to give any loose balls."

Anyone has a tour to reccomend? Looking for 2-4 days out. 4-8 miles with 2500-5000ft of elevation gain a day. Can start on the East or the West side. Hopefully slopes with gradual down hill terrain, not too steep. Scenic is a must.
Photos and topos with your route drawn are a bonus. But not a must.

George Hochsprung, 70, the husband of the principal who was gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Dec. 14, has retired from his job as a math teacher at Rogers Park Middle School.
The Danbury Board of Education officially accepted Hochsprung's retirement Wednesday night, marking the end of an education career that spanned 40 years and four months. Hochsprung did not attend the meeting.
His wife, Dawn Hochsprung, was killed at Sandy Hook, shot to death trying to stop the gunman who ultimately killed 20 young students and six educators.
Dawn Hochsprung met her future husband in the Danbury school system, where she was an assistant principal.
"His wife — she was that type of educator who gave her life for her kids," said Danbury Superintendent Sal Pascarella. He said George Hochspurng was the same way. "George was that type of educator."
Pascarella said Hochsprung had told him about his decision to retire last week.
Before the board considered the matter of George Hochspung's retirement, his name came up when the high school robotics team was recognized at the meeting. When one member of the team was asked about similar extracurricular activities in the lower grades, he said that Hochspurng taught middle-schoolers robotics with Legos.
Many have recalled the time Dawn Hochsprung came to the Sandy Hook school dressed as a fairy for a book fair. They said her husband had a similar dramatic approach to learning.
"He was one of the most creative people you ever were to meet," Pascarella said. "He knows his content, but connects with kids."
As George Hochsprung leaves his position and tries to fill the void in his life left by the Newtown shooting, Danbury schools will have their own void to fill.
"You just can't replace him," Pascarella said.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 12, 2009) -- Hoping to keep its perfect home record intact, the ETSU men's basketball will play host to Ohio Valley Conference preseason favorite Murray State Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The Buccaneers (5-5) are coming off a unexpectedly tough 75-71 win over North Georgia Thursday evening as part of the special "Back to Brooks" game at Brooks Gym. However, no matter the margin of victory, the Bucs have still find themselves at .500 on the year despite a brutally tough early season slate, and the team is 4-0 this season in Johnson City.
Juniors Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) continue to lead the Bucs, with both players averaging 15.6 points per game. Those two have raised their level of play, as the status of preseason All Atlantic Sun pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) remains in doubt. The senior guard has participated in just four of the team's 10 games this season.
For more on Saturday's game, click on the game notebook link above, or read the game notes below.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball team puts its perfect 4-0 record at home on the line Saturday as the Buccaneers host Ohio Valley Conference favorite Murray State ... The Bucs have won four of their last six games, including wins over SEC foe Arkansas on the road, 94-85, and the team's first conference win over the year 82-56 over North Florida ... The Bucs (5-5), who are 4-0 at home and 1-5 on the road this season ... Preseason All Atlantic Sun Conference pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) remains questionable for the Murray State game after missing the North Georgia game, even though he has played in just four games this sesaon, he most recently posted a 14-point effort in the loss at UAB ... In Smith's absence, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) have stepped up their games � In fact, Hubbard has posted double-doubles in six of his last nine games, which led his selection as A-Sun player of the week on Nov. 30 ... that week included a career best 32-point effort against the Razorbacks and a game-high 25-point effort in the victory over UNF ... Meanwhile, Tubbs posted a career best 29 points against CofC and 21 against Arkansas, to go with nine rebounds ... Currently, Hubbard and Tubbs share the team lead in scoring with 15.6 points per game.
The series against Murray State
The Bucs and Racers once shared a strong Ohio Valley Conference rivalry as the two teams battled it out throughout the 1960s and 70s ... ETSU trails the all-time series with Murray State 19-22, but the two teams have not met since those days in the OVC ... The Bucs have a two-game winning streak in the series, and won the last meeting between the two schools, 84-69, back in 1978.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 10, 2009) - Junior guard Micah Williams (Manchester) scored a career high 22 points and posted his first career double-double thanks to a 10-rebound effort, but more importantly it was his rebound and put back with six seconds left that sealed ETSU's unexpectedly tough 75-71 win over North Georgia Thursday night inside Brooks Gym ... Playing in front of a sellout crowd of 2,972 fans as part of a special "Back to Brooks" game, the Buccaneers wore special retro uniforms based after the 1968 squad. However, there was nothing special about the performance, as the Division II Saints overcame a 67-53 deficit in the final 2:56 to make it a two-point game at 73-71 with just 10 seconds left ... Williams was fouled and went to the line at that point, but missed both foul shots. However, even though ETSU had no players on the lane, Williams managed to weave his way through the Saints to grab the rebound and score a layup as time ran down ... Along with Williams' double-double, junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) posted his sixth double-double of the year with 14 points and 11 rebounds, and junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) pitched in 16 in the winning effort. For North Georgia, Bernard Rimmer and Carl Taylor both had a team-high 15 points, while Andrew Bennett scored 14 and Pat Moynihan added 10 ... The Saints stayed in it throughout and led for much of the first half, even holding an advantage of as many as seven points at 27-20 with 6:18 left before the intermission. Yet the Bucs rallied with a 8-2 offensive run in the final minutes of the half to lead 33-31 at the break ... North Georgia again stayed close in the second half until Taylor left the game with a mouth injury. ETSU took advantage of his absence to build their lead to 14. However, the Saints fullcourt pressure led to multiple ETSU turnovers and easy baskets, and despite a technical foul call on North Georgia's Keldrick Coleman that helped the Bucs go up 72-63 with 52 seconds, North Georgia still battled back to make it 73-71 thanks to a pair of and-one baskets by Tyler Norman and Coleman ... The Bucs committed 21 turnovers on the night and only won the rebound battle, 38-35. Meanwhile, North Georgia shot 42 percent from the field and 37 percent from beyond the arc. ETSU hit on only 20 percent from 3-point range, while the Saints outscored the Bucs 34-32 in the paint.
Smith's status still in doubt
Though he has played in four games this season and most recently scored a season high 14 points against UAB (12/4), senior guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) continues to battle nagging injuries ... This has left his status for this week -- and the rest of the year -- still in doubt ... No decision has been made at this point on whether Smith will redshirt this season or whether he will attempt to return to the floor this year ... Smith has been out of practice the last few days.
Hubbard steps up his game, averaging double-double
Much has been written and reported about junior forward Tommy Hubbard (Boston) and his efforts to improve his offensive game, and those strides most recently led to being selected A-Sun Player of the Week one week ago ... Already considered one of the best defenders in the A-Sun, Hubbard posted a 32-point and 10-rebound effort in the win over Arkansas and dropped in another game-high 26 in the win over UNF ... He currently leads the Bucs with 15.6 points per game and 8.6 rebounds a contest ... while he has posted double-doubles in six of the last nine games, his efforts began to pay off on the offensive end against Chattanooga back on Nov. 17 ... Setting career bests for points (26) and rebounds (13), Hubbard collected his first career double-double against the Mocs ... In addition, he hit his first 3-point shot in three seasons with the Bucs, and didn't stop there -- ultimately finishing with four long-range bombs on the night.
Record setting night from the arc for Bucs
Hitting on 11-of-14 shots from 3-point range against Arkansas, the Bucs put their name in a multiple of record books ... First, those numbers set a new school record for 3-point field goal percentage in a game with a 78.6 percent mark, breaking the previous record of 66.7 percent which had been done three times previously ... In addition, it was the best shooting effort in the "nation" this season for teams taking more than 10 shots in a game ... And it was the best percentage by a team in the A-Sun since Nov. 28, 1999 when UCF was 11-of-14 in a game against South Carolina state.
Tubbs getting it done for the Bucs
When junior guard Justin Tubbs (Trussville, Ala.) transfered out of the University of Alabama and came to ETSU, many expected the athletic guard to provide an immediate impact on the offensive end of the floor ... This has been the case ... Against Charleston, Tubbs posted a game high and career high 29 points in the Bucs win over Charleston (11/25) ... He followed that effort up with 21 points against Arkansas, and a game high 22 points in the loss to Tennessee ... currently, Tubbs has eclipsed double-figure scoring in six of the Bucs first eight games and is second on the team with 15.6 points per game.
Sollazzo steps up on night ETSU honors Coy
Before the start of the Bucs' Homecoming game against Appalachian State (11/14), the ETSU community honored the memory of former center Seth Coy, who died in a car accident last summer ... His former roommate and friend, Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), now wears Coy's No. 43 jersey and against the Mountaineers he played inspired basketball ... Sollazzo set a career high with 13 points and hit two critical foul shots in the final seconds to get the win.
Bench play critical in win over Mountaineers
With only 21 points of offensive production from its starting five on Saturday, the Bucs got a huge lift from its bench against the Mountaineers ... All three ETSU players to reach double figures -- Adam Sollazzo (13), Justin Tubbs (11) and Sheldon Cooley (11) -- all came off the bench, and the Bucs got a total of 41 from the reserves as a whole ... With injuries costing the Bucs several offensive weapons, look for ETSU to continue to count on the bench.
Bucs offering families "value" for attending games
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 28, 2009) - With the considerable expense of entertainment options today and the difficult economic times faced by many local families, the ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics in cooperation with Fun Expedition� Family Center of Johnson City are teaming up to make it more affordable than ever for families to attend Buccaneer basketball games during this 2009-10 season ... The Fun Expedition� Family Pack and the Fun Expedition� Family Zone will provide ETSU fans with a pair of options to make attending ETSU basketball games easier on the pocketbook. In fact, the program will offer tickets for free to children 10 and under (with the purchase of an adult ticket), while also offering discounts of more than 50 percent on packaged ticket deals ... Below are specific details of how each of these two programs will work:
-- Fun Expedition� Family Packs: These special family packs will contain 4 bronze level tickets (located in sections C and E), a concessions coupon for FREE popcorn, and a coupon from FUN EXPEDITION�. The total cost of one pack is $20, which is a savings of well over 50 percent on the regular cost of admission (reserved single seats are $10 each).
-- Fun Expedition� Family Zone: In addition to the family pack option, the Fun Expedition Family Zone will provide kids 10 and under a FREE Blue Level ticket (located in sections B and F) with the purchase of an adult Blue Level ticket. The free kids' tickets will be available to the first 900 fans, and these special family tickets can be purchased at the booth located between Memorial Center and Brooks Gym. Parents with more than two children will be able to get as many as four FREE tickets with the purchase of two regular-priced tickets.
Big questions surround Bucs entering 2009-10
With the loss of seniors Courtney Pigram and Kevin Tiggs -- one of the most dynamic offensive duos in the country -- the Bucs have a lot of questions to answer on the offenisve end of the floor this season ... Having averaged 78.1 points a game a year ago, which ranked 21st nationally in all of Division I play -- ETSU has lost 44.0 of those points to graduation when one includes now departed senior Greg Hamlin in that trio ... In addition to the losses on offensive, the Bucs' 13-man roster includes just eight players who have experienced actual floor time in college ... The other five players are either true freshmen, redshirt freshmen or walk-ons.

by SuperginraiX » Tue Apr 14, 2009 9:02 amI'm not anti-Wolverine. I think he's incredibly over-exposed but, at the same exact time, I love seeing him hanging out with the New Avengers. I just think it's funny that he's also hanging out not only with the X-Men but with X-Force and in three or four solo titles in any given month. The guy has way too many full time jobs and I hope he finally saves up the money for that operation he wants.
I do have tendencies to not really enjoy the character but not in the same way that I hate Punisher. I frickin' hate the Punisher. I actually sort of like Logan. Sort of. He'll never be on my favorite comic characters list but, when he's not acting as a writer's whatever-you-call-a-Mary-Sue-if-you-haven't-actually-created-the-character, he's not a terrible character. I just started reading comics in the nineties where everyone had their own comic with some version of Wolverine on the team so he was even more overexposed than you can imagine nowadays.
I think that's mostly my problem here. The villains are all glowy green clawed copies of Wolverine. Hello nineties. You look very familiar.
The fact that it's movie related doesn't really bother me. Milk that market. If someone gets excited about the movie and wants some Wolverine comics, let's give 'em some Wolverine comics. We all know that in a comic that's basically milking off the movie you're going to get in elements of that movie, so in Weapon X we're gonna see that adamantium chamber and probably some other movie characters looking awfully like their movie counterparts. Is Maverick in the movie? If he is, he's probably similarly dressed. If not, I still give kudos for using the character. He's an old favorite. I even have every issue from his nineties series.
Logan's got way too many costumes. He's getting more like a Barbie doll with every team he joins and needs new threads for. I see his brown and orange suit just got snatched up by his son in Dark Avengers, so he's down to two suits but I'm still waiting for a New Avengers costume (still, two suits for a super-hero is still more than you usually see and he just stopped wearing the brown and orange recently). The suit he wears in this issue (which is his X-Force suit, right?) is probably my new favorite. It's traditional in style but the color scheme is a lot less cheesy than the yellow you usually see him running around in. Very appropriate suit for a movie look book.
Ron Garney's art hasn't looked this good in quite a while. I find him hit and miss since his Captain America days but I still enjoy his art more than I don't. This issue is really good in the art department.
The writing... doesn't fare so well. Like I said, it's the attack of the nineties Wolverine wannabe's. It's not like Marvel doesn't alreay have enough Wolverine clones running around. We don't really need more. The subway scene is great stuff and any Maverick appearance is welcome. Still, it's hard to justify 3.99 for this. I get enough comics where it's hard to justify 3.99, I don't need another!
For now, Wolverine: Weapon X is a just above average book and that's bouyed up mostly because I like good art.
W:WX, you get a 6. I just can't get excited about green glowy clawed Wolverine wannabe's.
by Punchy » Tue Apr 14, 2009 9:11 amMaverick is indeed in the Wolverine movie, but as 'Agent Zero' like he was in the Tieri Weapon X series.
Probably only a minor part, and the actor is Korean.

by guitarsmashley » Tue Apr 14, 2009 9:23 pmThat issue was ok. I'm kind of glad I never ordered it in my box of comics. Art was great but the story lacked.
by malcolm reynolds » Thu Apr 16, 2009 1:30 amWolverine: weapon x #1
I've always found myself reading Wolverine on and off depending on the creative team, as I love the character but can't stand it when it's badly written. I know its overly-stereotypical to love Wolverine but eh, sue me. So I was really excited when one of my favourite writers was coming into a comic that focused on one of my favourite characters. Now this is an obvious movie tie-in and and a motion to make more cash out of it, but if it's written well and keeps me coming back, I'm all for it.
So this week's review group pick was the first issue, a brand spanking new #1. The story arc is titled "the adamantium men" and to paraphrase, someone has gotten the weapon x plans and is making new versions of Wolverine. The writing is spot-on, right down to Wolverine getting drunk and passing out on the subway. As I heard mentioned before Wolverine has always been a hero in spite of himself, and never sees himself as one. The dialogue between Maverick and Wolverine was very strong, and makes me want to read more up on the character, what there's a bio in the back of this very comic, terrific. I must say that was the first time I've actually taken much time to read the backmatter in a mainstream marvel book.
That's another thing with a book titled 'weapon x', you have a multitude of characters at your disposal, in theory, using characters already established to create new and interesting storylines. It seems difficult but the first issue left me with high hopes.
Just a quick question. That was Garney on art? This is the best I've seen him in ages. Suited the book one hundred percent. I also loved the Kubert variant cover.
Wolverine is either a hit-or-miss comic depending on the writer to me, and I'm glad they've created a new series where solid stories can be told without Dark Reign gettting in its way.
I'm glad I added this to my MOC order, I was a little apprehensive at first but this has me willing to stick out the first arc at least.
Story 7.5
Art 7
Overall 7.25
See ya next week, for an amazing pick from fourthman

brady needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 37 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Logo for an online voting system web app. Let your imagination run wild!
electionbuddy is looking for a logo!
We are an online election web app, that helps people run email-based elections.
Our proper name for the logo is "electionbuddy". (Lowercase "e", no .com).
Design specs are wide open - I'll give as much feedback as I can early on as to the direction I'd like to see this go.
Finished logo should incorporate the name "electionbuddy" fairly prominently - the standard logo-to-the-left of the text might work just fine.
- Open requirements - anything pertaining to voting, online elections, etc.
- Must be vectorized deliverable - Adobe AI, EPS, etc.
- Item 1...

That wasn't my point, whether it is government work or legal work, it is not back breaking manual labor.
Animal Farm logic.
Make sure you don't sacrifice your time with your kids. This is always the one thing that people regret after looking back at a successful career. So if you do decide to take the plunge, make sure you are still prioritizing.

Williston State's Diesel Technology Program receives generous donation
WILLISTON, N.D. - Williston State College's Diesel Technology Program has just received a significant donation from Tractor & Equipment at the tune of $10,000. The Caterpillar Foundation matched Tractor & Equipment's gift with an additional $10,000 bringing the total donation to $20,000.
"This is an incredible opportunity not only for the program, but for our students," said WSC Diesel Technology Program Coordinator, Dale Maynard. "This gift will allow us to continue to update our program, equipment and help our students succeed."
Presentation of the check was made on Tuesday, September 11th at the new Tractor & Equipment Caterpillar Rental Store. David Eisenhooth, Tractor & Equipment Company General Service Manager, was on hand to deliver the check to WSC's Maynard. Eisenhooth also serves on the WSC Diesel Technology Program advisory board.
The first $10,000 of the donation will be earmarked for scholarships for incoming and current diesel students. The remaining $20,000 will be used on equipment, supplies, and technology as well as to assist students in participation at statewide Skills USA competitions.
"This funding shows Tractor & Equipment and Caterpillar's commitment to diesel education as well as being industry partners in an effort to drive this program forward," said WSC Transportation and Energy Coordinator, Brian Rencher. "They [Tractor & Equipment and Caterpillar] continue to meet industry needs in Williston and the surrounding areas."
Kelly Johnson, manager of the new T&E Caterpillar Rental Store and former graduate of the WSC Diesel Technology Program, provided a tour of the new facility after the check presentation. The T&E Caterpillar Rental Store also employs a current WSC Diesel Technology student during his time outside of class.
This funding will be used during the 2013-2014 academic year, evaluated at the end of that period, and can be given on an annual basis.
For more information about the donation, please contact Brian Rencher at 701.774.4563 or email@example.com. For other information regarding Williston State, visit willistonstate.edu, call 1.888.863.9455, or stop by 1410 University Avenue, Williston, ND.

GREENSBORO — Three area wrestlers will be in the Parade of Champions at Saturday night's high school wrestling state championships at Greensboro Coliseum.
They earned their places by advancing to the championship bouts in their respective weight classes, and leading the way is North Henderson junior Mitchel Langford, who is making his third straight trip to the finals. He has won back-to-back individual state titles in the 2-A ranks and will be facing Erwin's Gabriel Wilson (34-3) in Saturday night's 3-A 113-pound state championship match. It will be a rematch of last week's 3-A West Regional championship, a match Langford won by a 4-2 decision.
The other area wrestlers in tonight's finals are Hendersonville's Rhett Hoy and Rosman's Breyer Owen.
Langford had a quick pin in Thursday's opening round at Greensboro and followed that up Friday with an even quicker pin (42 seconds) in the second round against North Iredell's Clay Bodenheimer. In Friday night's semifinals, Langford faced tougher competition in Union Pines senior Mike Fedowitz, but Langford still came out on top with a hard-fought 5-2 decision win to stay unbeaten at 41-0.
In the 2-A ranks, Hoy made it to the 220-pound championship with a pin against Newton-Conover's Andrew Gaither in a time of 5:03. Hoy (42-1) will be facing Bunker Hill's Kyle Guins (45-4), who upset Holmes' Tywon Bond with a 4-3 win in the semifinals. Going into that bout, Bond was unbeaten at 21-0.
In the 1-A semifinals at 132, Rosman's Owen had a major-decision (11-1) win over Mitchell's Solomon Duncan. Owen (39-1) will be taking on Avery County's Ty Franklin (50-2) in the championship.
Six area wrestlers will be competing in Saturday's consolation semifinals and still have shots at third place. Those are Hendersonville's Charlie Bosshard (2-A, 195), Brevard's Nick Siniard (2-A, 182) and three others from Rosman: Tanner Whitman (1-A, 126), Clint McCall (1-A, 113) and Andres Villagomez (1-A, heavyweight).
Two other area wrestlers (East Henderson's Aaron Owensby in 3-A and Brevard's Logan Roth in 2-A) were eliminated in their consolation bouts on Friday.

CRESTVIEW � Few North Okaloosa historical figures inspire as much passion, discussion, dissension and questions as William Allen Lundy. The Confederate battle flag fluttering over a memorial to him will be discussed at a City Council meeting this evening.
CRESTVIEW � Few North Okaloosa historical figures inspire as much passion, discussion, dissension and questions as William Allen Lundy.
Descendants fondly consider "Uncle Bill" Lundy a loving ancestor and a simple farmer. Local residents widely accepted him as Florida's last Civil War veteran.
Lundy died Sept. 1, 1957. A year later, the Crestview Lions Club erected a monument in memory of Lundy and other Confederate veterans near the intersection of U.S. Highway 90 and State Road 85. It was later moved to its present location on a small, city-owned triangle of land bounded by S.R. 85, Hickory Avenue and First Street.
While the monument itself is not controversial, the Confederate battle flag fluttering above it periodically stirs up debate. The City Council will discuss the topic at a specially called meeting tonight.
The man
Uncle Bill was born Jan. 18, 1848, on a farm in Pike County, Ala., according to family members quoted in "Crestview: The Forkland" by Claudia Patten and Betty Curenton.
Uncle Bill said he never saw Civil War battle, serving instead as a home guardsman protecting the Coffee County, Ala., courthouse, according to the book.
"He didn't even fire a shot during his wartime service," the article states, using information provided by Lundy's grandson, Gerald Lundy.
Lundy moved to Florida following the war, ultimately settling in Crestview to live out his years with his son, Charles. He is buried in Alamarante Cemetery in Laurel Hill.
Public records don't support Lundy's claim to veteran status, according to an article by Virginia native William Marvel in the February 1991 issue of "Blue and Gray," a Civil War history magazine.
"The census of Walton County, Fla., shows he was not born until May 1860," the article states. "In 1910, he made no mention of having been a Civil War soldier."
The 1910 U.S. census provided opportunity for Civil War veterans to identify themselves, Marvel's article stated.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, people started to claim Civil War veteran status so they could qualify for pensions, according to Marvel.
"An aging (Southerner) need only tack on a few more years and fabricate service in some obscure militia unit," Marvel said.
The practice was not uncommon, Betty Curenton's nephew, historian Mark Curenton, a Laurel Hill native, said.
"By the late 1920s and early 1930s, actual veterans were getting scarce," Curenton said. "Old men would get together and swear to each other's pension application in order to qualify for the money. There were not any real soldiers left at that time to dispute their claim."
"Civil War A to Z," a 2007 reference edited by Clifford Linedecker, describes Lundy as a "discredited veteran," whose claim "would have meant he was serving under arms when he was a mere 5 years old."
Lundy's great granddaughter, Ani Powell, did not return requests for comment in time for publication.
The flag
While no one on either side of the issue disputes honoring Lundy, it is the flag flying over the memorial the excites passions the most.
Tonight's discussion was initiated when the previous flagpole was replaced earlier this year and the Confederate battle flag, which had previously flown with the Stars and Stripes, was hoisted alone.
Ironically, historians say the likelihood of Lundy having actually served under it was unlikely.
His year of service, if it wasn't a fabrication, was spent guarding a civil institution, which would instead have flown the Confederate States of America's "stars and bars" flag.
However, Mark Curenton said, by that late stage of the Civil War, what flag was flying was of minimal concern.
"By the end of the war, they were more concerned with getting enough food to eat and clothes to wear than making sure they had the correct flag," he said.
WHAT: Crestview City Council special meeting to discuss Uncle Bill Lundy Memorial
WHEN: 6 p.m. tonight
WHERE: Crestview Community Center, behind the post office
DETAILS: Each person or group wishing to make a presentation should fill in a blue speaker card and present it to the City Clerk designee prior to the meeting.

Have you ever hear of a circadian
rhythm? It's the physical, mental and behavioral changes in your body that
follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, such as your sleeping schedule. What you
may not realize is that many of your skin functions also follow a circadian
rhythm. While you may begin to unwind in the evening, your skin is hard at
work and actually increases its renewal and metabolic functions at night.
Consider these cycles in your skin's
functions that may influence it's texture, radiance, and overall appearance:
Cell proliferation peaks at
midnight, and is lowest at noon
Blood flow is 25% lower at night
Oil production by skin glands is
higher midday at noon
Skin pH is more acidic during sleep
You can dream easy tonight knowing
that Obagi has launched a new product engineered to complement your skin's
natural nightly functions. We are thrilled to introduce Obagi
Hydrate Luxe to our family of products! Just as the name suggests, this
luxuriously rich face cream is extra-moisturizing and contains ingredients to
keep your skin looking and feeling supple and firm. In fact, in a 2013
consumer survey, a majority of those who tried Hydrate Luxe saw improvements in
the appearance of fine lines, firmness, skin texture, skin radiance, and
Packed with many of the same great
natural ingredients as our Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer, like shea butter,
mango butter, and avocado, Hydrate Luxe also contains additional powerful
ingredients engineered to work with the chronobiology of the skin and to provide
ultra-rich moisturization including:
Biometric peptides: A technology that
complements your skin's nightly renewal and metabolic functions to support the
skin and rescue the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in mature skin.
Hydromanil: A key ingredient in our
Hydrate Facial Moisturizer, this technologically advanced ingredient provides
not only immediate moisturization, but gradual moisture delivery by retaining
water in the layers of your skin and continuously releasing them for 8-hour
moisture protection.

products should be used under Doctor Supervision. We strongly recommend you to
consult with medical skin care specialist before purchasing any Obagi products.
Please contact us for more details ***
You can apply Obagi Hydrate Luxe in the evening to combat skin dryness
overnight, as well as any time deep moisturization is needed.
Beautiful skin is healthy skin. It is firm and smooth, with even skin tone
and glowing color. It is free from medical problems and it is normal in function
and tolerance. We are born with healthy skin, but time, the sun, and
environmental assaults take their toll.
personal skin health
The Obagi System recognizes that your skin is a living organ with
interacting functions. Restoring the health of your skin cannot happen if you
merely treat the symptoms. To achieve (and maintain) skin health, you must
correct the underlying problems and stimulate the growth of new, radiant,
healthy skin cells. The Obagi Nu-Derm System meets this challenge with a daily
program of six easy steps.
The Obagi Nu Derm System is prescribed only by physicians who
are trained in the use and monitoring of the program. Prior to ordering any of
these products, you must have completed our Skin care questionnaire

Blackmon Auction is asking the Stuttgart City Council for a lease agreement for its annual Backgate Auction. This will be the 64th annual Backgate Auction, which is held at the Stuttgart Municipal Airport each year and brings in farm machinery and buyers from across the nation.
The Stuttgart City Council will meet with three items on the agenda at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Stuttgart City Hall, located at 304 S. Maple St. The meetings are open to the public.
The lease, if approved, will be from Feb. 4 through March 8. Blackmon will pay the City of Stuttgart $12,100 for the lease with $1,000 being paid upfront.
Blackmon agrees not to interfere with the Stuttgart Municipal Airport or any private enterprise operating out the facility. They will also maintain public liability insurance along with providing security personnel.

FedEx Corp. said Tuesday, April 23, it won a $10.5 billion contract to carry mail between domestic airports for the U.S. Postal Service.
The Memphis-based company will extend its current arrangement to transport Postal Service Express Mail and Priority Mail for another seven years. FedEx has been providing similar service for the government agency for 12 years.
FedEx had previously warned in regulatory filings that the contract could be transitioned to another provider, like rival United Parcel Service, and that the terms and conditions of the new arrangement could be "less favorable" than the current contract, which expires in September 2013. The new contract begins in October.
FedEx and the Postal Service did not immediately provide details beyond the value and length of the contract.
"FedEx Express will continue the outstanding service that we have provided to the USPS for the past 12 years under this new agreement," said David Bronczek, president and CEO of FedEx Express.
The new deal allows for service improvements, capacity flexibility and other operational benefits, Bronczek said.
–David Bronczek, president and CEO of FedEx Express
The new contract comes as the Postal Service is restructuring after years of losses in an effort to return to profitability. Since 2006 it has reduced annual costs by $15 billion, cut 193,000 workers and consolidated more than 200 mail processing locations.
"Following a rigorous evaluation of technical aspects, pricing, and other factors in the proposals, the Postal Service determined that the FedEx proposal represented the best value," the agency said in a prepared statement.
FedEx also is in the midst of restructuring to cut annual costs of $1.7 billion by 2016 with buyouts that will dramatically reduce its workforce by at least 10 percent by May 2014. The restructuring is expected to compensate for consumers that have opted for cheaper and slower shipping services.
Bloomberg News reported Justin Yagerman, an analyst with Deutsche Bank in New York, says the contract gives FedEx a needed "shot in the arm."
The global news wire also reported Kelly Dougherty, an analyst with Macquarie Capital Inc. in New York, was concerned UPS could have captured up to 30 percent of the Postal Service business. Dougherty and other analysts have said it is likely the new contract has lower profit margins than the current contract.

Decent ending but i expected the final showdown to have a little more umph behind it. It felt like after the Kid, Blackstar fight Maka's fight just fizzled. I understand the message they were portraying but still i just was not feeling it. It was nice to see everything worked out in the end.
It was obvious why Maka was a weapon when she was knocked out. Look at her father is and then there is her mother the best Meister EVER its not surprise. But I would love to see her control it and learn how to use that power. After a few years her blackstar and kid would be Deathsycthes and kid would take over for his dad eventually.
I didnt like how the other students just got no more screen time even after they were shown in the ending. I loved watching those 3 fight and that Aphex Twin attack was SICK.
I liked the series it was a fun ride just fizzled out for me in the end.

Okay, I didn´t like the last 5-10 episodes, but the very last of them were kinda good. This ending didn´t show us an epic battle, but perfectly shows the insanity and how special this anime is. I mean courage, just like madness, is within everybody. It is the total opposite and the only way to encounter madness. The villian neither killed by some special abilities nor bonds between friends forming an ultra special move, but courage to face fear, which is the source of madness. Kishin irritated by her determination, not understanding, not being able to grasp the meaning and also shattered through his own insanity. And in the end, is is not something special....everyone has it. Courage.
Now the whole series wasn´t perfect, but those last episodes did make up for it. An truly epic battle would be awesome and something are not explained, but this is a loveable and touching ending, atleast for me. Oh one more thing. Did you guys checked the OneManga-Rank of Soul Eater? I don´t know which rank it exactly was, but it went from something like over 100 to 15. That means, this series has its fans. Show your respect to it my friends. May the Otaku spirit be with you.

The series was pretty clear in its execution, had some of the "usual shonen weaknesses" but overall was more more enjoyable than the average action series for me. Loved the animation and color palettes, the "wacky but serious" characterizations.
Extra points for not being "endless" but having a specific complete storyline.
I used the first episode in my conversational Japanese class as part of a presentation of just how much variety there is in anime (also served as a "how much of the conversation can you follow?" -- "Itadakimasu" to Jack the Ripper got quite a laugh)
Yeah, I'll be buying this one if/when it hits R1.

The first half was absolutely awesome. It was breath-taking. It was just planely incredible. Kishin's speach of "you are nothing, you are beneath me, those who are better than you have tried and failed to defeat me"... My heart just leaped as he said that. His voice was awesome, too.
When I saw Maka turn into a weapon... I practically pissed myself. There is one fanfic that I'm reading, and couple of weeks ago the author had similar plot. So, it was a total win for me.
The second half... meh. I jsut wanted to bang my head into the wall. "Wait, seriously?" - was my constant reaction. I mean, what is the point of everything that they were doing so far? I like Maka, I honestly do, but I just wanted her to die at that moment.
The only funny moment in the second half was the part when Crona was describing Maka and said that "The best of Maka is in here". I stared at the screen for a second and then thought - "Sooo... Are pregnant, then? Um... Is there anything you want to tell us?"

I really enjoyed this series, great action, great animation, good characters, and even greater humor. Adult themes were mixed it to form a perfect medium.
I haven't read the manga yet, but since the story so longer, I will be picking it up =).
Spoiler for Spoilers:
Overall the series was great, just wished there was more credit given out to the rest of the crew besides Maka.

Rather weak ending... Love the series but I wish there was more character development. Crona who is technically a side character had the most growth and development.
Is this an anime only ending?

What was this shit ? Rather good shounen and this... this.... ending ? Absolutely horrible.
4 of 10. Bones, I'm dissapointed in you.
In overall, of course, Soul Eater deserves 8 of 10. But this ending and manga differences spoiled everything.

well the ending really didn't resolve much and basically you get stein and mary all rabu rabu which was boring. Seriously the fight could have culminated into more than just a punch, very typical shounenesque ending. The anime only writing reallly suffered and carried none of the charm FMA had.

Not bad, but I was expecting the Kishin to be a little bit more... what's the word? Oh. That's right. SCARY. I don't know what it was, but I kept thinking, "LAME..." whenever I saw Asura. Seriously now, he had a few powerups, yes, but I just didn't find him to be all that threatening given that this guy was supposedly able to overcome the Shinigami. I dunno, maybe my expectations were too high...
The lack of an epilogue also bugged me. I was hoping to see Maka's mom or something, but she never showed up.
Despite my apparent railing on this episode, I still liked it and thoguht it an appropriate enough way to end the series. 8/10

Just came in to post that the ending was going great until the talking and the damn punch.
My god, that is just utterly stupid and horrible, and ruined the series for me. I'll have to give the manga a read to see how that ending was done but this ending left a sour taste in my mouth.
Asura went from total evil bad guy into a bumbling comical fool in a span of a few minutes.

Mm though I would've rather have preferred an epic battle, I think this ending was rather ok, since it was more psychological win than a physical battle. I mean, Maka would've had absolutely no chance of winning, and if she had pulled off like a super saiyan mode or something, I would've been very angry. At least this way, her win seemed a little more believable, considering kisshin's nature.

I think I wanted something like a war where everyone gets to do something. I mean, it just really pissed me off how all my favourite characters (Stein, Crona, Shinigami, Spirit, Marie) had nothing to do, just watch and make the occasional comment. It really made me want to cry. Sheesh.

Rule of the night: build as much anticipation before announcing the results as possible. And remember: don't freak out as soon as Carson announces your name, because he simply will be asking you a question. More importantly, give back to those in need in Oklahoma after the devastating tornados.
The night kicked off as Oklahoma native coach Blake Shelton and his wife, Miranda Lambert, performed "Over You," followed by a performance of "Stand by You" featuring coach Shakira and her teammates, Kris Thomas and Sasha Allen.
Did you see Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez in the audience? Who knew they were big fans of "The Voice!"
Time for business. After Monday night's performances, team Blake's Danielle Bradbery and team Adam's Judith Hill remained safe.
America then saved team Usher's Michelle Chamuel and team Shakira's Sasha Allen.
Taking a break from the anxiety that comes with wondering if your favorite teammate is safe, we learned a few things about the players and the coaches. Team Usher's Michelle Chamuel would be a puppeteer if she wasn't a singer. The coaches would all be circus performers, and former judge Cee-Lo Green would be a…stripper?
Coach Blake Shelton took the stage again, this time to perform "Mountain Music" with his team. Coach Usher and his team performed "The Look of Love."
It was again time to announce who would stay, and who would go.
Team Adam's Sarah Simmons was safe, followed by team Blake's Holly Tucker.
Team Blake's Amber Carrington and The Swon Brothers, team Shakira's Kris Thomas and team Usher's Josiah Hawley all awaited the results to America's votes.
In the end, it was Amber Carrington and The Swon Brothers who were safe (now Zack doesn't have to blame an elimination on Colton), Josiah Hawley and Kris Allen who were sent home.
Next week, the top 8 will perform and again it will be up to American to vote and save their favorites. Coach Usher is the only coach with just one contestant left; can Michelle Chamuel beat out everyone else on her own?

~Will blew the layer of dust from an ornate wooden box inlaid with ivory and lifted the lid. Inside were brass workings like the mechanism of a clock. He wound a small gold key in the back until it would wind no more, and released it. The wheels and cogs turned and wonderful music flowed forth, the beautiful strains of a Viennese waltz, The Blue Danube.
Julia clapped her hands. "A music box."
He bowed. "May I have this dance, sweet Julia?"
She gazed up into his velvet brown eyes, and he gazed back. She managed a nod and he drew her into his arms.
Around the attic he waltzed with her secure in his lead. Everything fell away except this moment while the haunting melody played on, taking her back to that faintly remembered place. She didn't even stumble, not once. It was as if some inner memory guided her in the steps, even though ballroom dancing hadn't been a part of her lessons.
The music picked up and he swung her around and around. Her dress swirled as he circled. With each turn, he was Will—then Cole, Will—then Cole, both men in rapid succession, separate and yet the same. Her heart pounded from far more than the whirling dance.
The music faded and Will slowly stopped revolving. They stood, his arms circled at her back and waist, eyes locked on each other. His brow furrowed. "Julia, you look as if you've seen a ghost."
She ran the tip of her tongue over her lips. "You may be the ghost."
He tightened his mouth in an impatient line. "Don't try to make me into Cole again."
"Will, listen to me. I know it sounds crazy, but I think somehow you already are."
He dropped his hands, turning away. "Only because you insist I am."
She grabbed his arm. "No. It's what I saw while we danced. You must believe me."
"Believing doesn't make it any easier," he said flatly.
"That's because you think I'm misled."
He swiveled his head at her. Exasperation flared in his eyes. "There's a simple reason for my laboring under that assumption. You are."
"Don't be angry. I hate that I've spoiled such a lovely moment."
"You've a talent for that." He turned and strode across the floor. His footsteps echoed on the boards with a hollow sound, just as her heart would beat if he left.
She ran behind him and reached out, catching his plush shoulder. "Consider me balmy, if you must, but don't walk away. Please Will."
He stayed as he was. "What do you want me to do, Julia?"
"I don't know." She wasn't strong enough to turn him and dashed in front instead, grasping his upper arms and twisting the fabric in her fingers. "Something—anything."
He smiled faintly. "Never say those words to a man."
Cupping her face between his hands, he bent his head and closed his lips over hers in an all consuming kiss…so swiftly she hardly knew what had happened. Even if he hadn't cupped her cheeks, she wouldn't have moved. The compelling press of his mouth bound her in place. If possible, Julia's heart thudded even faster than it had before. The surging pulse drummed through her entire being, reverberating in places she didn't even know she had. From what she could remember of her dream with Cole, her feelings had been poignant but tender. The sensations coursing through her now weren't entirely that. An exhilarating passion was sweeping her up in a shocking tide.
"Who am I now?" Will whispered against her mouth.
She loosened her grip on his jacket in speechless surprise, too breathless to tell him she didn't care.~
Star-crossed lovers, flashbacks to early 18th century Virginia, ghostly, murder mystery romance…

Mayor Thomas M. Menino will not back down from his stance against Chick-fil-A for its opposition to gay marriage, but he acknowledged Thursday that he cannot do anything to prevent the restaurant chain from setting up shop in Boston.
"Originally, I said I would do everything I can to stop them.'' Menino said in an interview at City Hall. "And that was mostly using the bully pulpit of being mayor of the city and getting public support. But I didn't say I would not allow them to go for permits or anything like that. I just said we would do everything we can, bully pulpit-wise."
Menino caused a stir after he wrote an irate letter last Friday to the restaurant chain's president, Dan Cathy, who told the Baptist Press this month that his company is ''guilty as charged'' for being a supporter of organizations rallying against same-sex marriage.
The company was considering opening a location on Union Street, across the street from City Hall and Faneuil Hall. After learning about the company leadership's views on same-sex marriage, Menino issued a letter to Cathy, lambasting him.
"I was angry to learn on the heels of your prejudiced statements about your search for a site to locate in Boston," Menino wrote. "There is no place for discrimination on Boston's Freedom Trail and no place for your company alongside it.
"I urge you to back out of your plans to locate in Boston."
The letter drew intense reactions on both ends of the political spectrum.
Since it was posted on the city's Facebook page Wednesday, about 140,000 people have "liked" it. Others posted comments criticizing the mayor's stance.
But Menino clarified his view Thursday, saying that it would not be within his power to take any steps to prevent the business from establishing a franchise in the city and that he could not deny permits to the company. His only recourse, he said, is expressing his disapproval.
"Yes, people have criticized me; I understand that," Menino said. "But I have feelings . . . I have my First Amendment rights also. I'm expressing them."
The notion that Menino might use his considerable political power to bully the company out of the city drew criticism from political specialists who said the move was not atypical for the mayor.
Paul Watanabe, a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts Boston, stressed that Menino, like any resident of Boston, has a right to express his views on the business's possible arrival in the city. But, he said, that right stops short of taking steps to prevent that business from operating in the city.
"I do not begrudge the mayor or anyone from voicing their views," Watanabe said. "But the fact is that if . . . a business might be treated different solely because of their views — that's a legitimate issue to raise."
John C. Berg, director of Suffolk University's graduate program in political science, said Menino may not have the explicit power to edge out companies of which he disapproves, but the mayor certainly holds informal sway.
"You could fight it, but . . . nobody wants to do that, because the more you fight it, the more you get problems," Berg said. "It's not ideal, and it's not how the perfect city should work."
Berg said the incident probably will not have much of an effect on Menino's electoral appeal.
"It's not the kind of thing that voters are going to care about," Berg said. "Short of Chick-fil-A filing a lawsuit, it's not really an electoral issue."
Since Menino's letter to Chick-fil-A, the restaurant has also caught flak from other public figures, including Mayor Rahm Emanuel of Chicago.
"Chick-fil-A's values are not Chicago values,'' Emanuel said to the Chicago Sun-Times. "They're not respectful of our residents, our neighbors, and our family members. And if you're going to be part of the Chicago community, you should reflect Chicago values."
Comedian Jon Stewart also weighed in: "Open your eyes, owner of Chick-fil-A . . . not even Boston will tolerate you."
Others posted comments on Facebook and Twitter disparaging the mayor's move.
"Just don't get how any mayor has the right to tell any business who can build a restaurant in his city and who can't because of their religious beliefs," said one Facebook user commenting on the letter.
"Boston, cool for sticking up to what you believe in and all, but think of the money that could be brought to the city with a Chick Fil A," a user identified as @TFMTherapist wrote Thursday on Twitter.
Thursday afternoon, Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas — who made headlines in January when he refused President Obama's invitation to the White House — joined in the dissent on Facebook, mentioning that the restaurant is a private entity. "I stand with Chick-fil-A," Thomas wrote.Martine Powers can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @martinepowers
Correction: An earlier version of this story attributed a quote by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel to Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino. The quote has been corrected.

The former "Fat Actress" was shopping at the chic Beverly Hills boutique Theodore, when Alley noticed the paparazzi and non-chalantly flipped them the bird. Cheers!
Considering how much weight she's lost, you'd think Kirstie would want her picture taken for all the world to see.

WORCESTER, Mass. - Four MIT players were named to the New England Football Conference (NEFC) 2004 All-Conference teams, it was announced Monday afternoon. Senior tri-captain Matt Krueger and junior Matt Ramirez led the way with selections to the First Team.
Matt Krueger was MIT's only offensive player to secure postseason accolades from the league. Krueger served as the anchor for Tech's offensive line, and has been regarded as one of the best tackles in the league. Ramirez was the Institute's other First Team pick. Working on both sides of the ball as Tech's only reliable leg, Ramirez was tabbed as the Conference's premier punter a year after garnering Second Team honors at the same spot.
Junior Kevin Yurkewich was the heart and soul of MIT's gridiron unit, and was named to the Second Team. Yurkewich led the NEFC in total tackles, while also ranking in the top five for sacks and tackles for loss. Senior defensive back Mark Boudreau made his second appearance on the All-Conference squad as an honorable mention.
NEFC regular season champions, Curry College, dominated the league awards. The Colonels' Steve Nelson was named Coach of the Year, while senior linebacker Brian Robitialle was selected Defensive Player of the Year for the second straight season. Running back Brenden Kavey,a junior from Bridgewater State, accepted honors for Offensive Player of the Year. The Hal Chalmers Scholar/Athlete of the Year award was presented to Westfield State College senior David Trueira.
In 2002, the Engineers set a program record with eight players earning plaudits from the NEFC for their play.

The Sedona Photography Workshop
The Sedona Photography Workshop by Journey In Common Photography Workshops includes all the benefits of a photography tour, and all the benefits of a photography class. We specialize in instructing, encouraging, and demonstrating to each individual participant how to take photographs in ways which represent the photographer's reaction to the scene and which are inherently aesthetically pleasing to the image viewer. We will work with you individually, demonstrating applicable techniques and helping you see things in a new light on this workshop to assist you take more beautiful, more interesting, more creative, and more original photographs than ever before!
- All workshops are held to a MINIMUM of two (2) participants and a MAXIMUM of six (6) participants, to ensure that each person gets all the personal attention they want and need.
- Personal guidance for each participant individually to best identify photo opportunities, get the best composition, and set your camera controls in such a way as to best capture quality photographs
- Any additional help you feel you want or need throughout the workshop
- If you need to, you may rent a Digital SLR from us for a fee. Each rental includes a 16gb SD card to hold your images which you may keep and take home. (Please see options when ordering this tour/class)
Questions or concerns:
Please email email@example.com, or Text / Call (480) 250-2430
What should I expect?
The Sedona Field Trip is our very most popular. It is a reasonable length tour with three great stops, and includes some really amazing photo opportunities. The walking is the way we like our salsa; almost entirely easy, and the pace is mild.
In Sedona, we have a meeting location where you can park safely and we provide all transportation for our 3-4 stops in the Field Trip. For those choosing our transportation option from Phoenix, we have a convenient meeting area close to the intersection of the 101-Loop and I-17 where we provide transportation for the entire Field Trip.
The Sedona Field Trip departs our Sedona Parking/Meeting Spot at different times based on sunrise (usually around 5:00 AM), and returns to that Parking/Meeting spot around 7-8 hours later (leaving you with about a half day to explore Sedona on your own afterwards). The transportation from Phoenix option leaves Phoenix 2 hours before the tour start-time, and returns 2 hours after the tour ends. The Field Trip Information Sheet (which you receive by email about 5 days before the tour date) contains all the necessary meeting place information and the exact times for pick-up and tour start. For those booking transportation from Phoenix, please refer to the Field Trip Information Sheet for your exact meeting location and times.
We will provide you with a morning snack and juice, bottled water, lunch and beverage, and an afternoon snack.
Required: A Camera. You can get value from this Field Trip with just a Point-And-Shoot camera, or even a GoPro® or a cell phone with a quality camera installed. But to get maximum value from the tour, we would recommend a Digital SLR camera.
Recommended: We would also recommend a good zoom lens, and a tripod (we have a limited number of loaner tripods available). You will not need a flash, but you REALLY should bring extra batteries and whatever kind of memory cards your camera takes.
Best: For the best pictures possible, the full list of recommended things to bring will be on your Field Trip Information Sheet which we will send you soon after you book your trip.
Once you book a particular date, we will send you an information sheet outlining what specifics you need to know about that particular trip, more of what to expect, specifics on meeting locations, and what you need to bring. This trip involves some easy hiking. Bring good-sturdy footwear, and be prepared to carry with you all the equipment you may need and a proper supply of water while walking or hiking. We use Camelbacks which carry our water supply and some equipment. As with any trip of this nature, please be sure you are prepared physically for the requirements of your particular trip before committing.
David Westfall is usually your guide, sometimes assisted by his son Dallas. Once on-site, we will assist each participant in seeing photo opportunities, composition, and in setting your camera controls in such a way as to best capture quality photographs. Our efforts are to assist you to become comfortable enough in finding these photo opps and shooting them that you will ultimately feel more confident wherever you may be.
Some of the kinds of photographs you can expect to bring home from this tour/class:

1. Re: Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsMichaelRH Aug 7, 2008 10:47 PM (in response to Daniel T)Honestly, my only real beef with Adobe Labs is that things can be hard to find sometimes. For example, where is Cairngorm? I'm not actually sure of where it actually links to it, so I have to search or use a bookmark to get to the page. I guess a re-structure of how technologies fit together could be useful.
2. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancementsthniels Aug 7, 2008 11:39 PM (in response to Daniel T)I concur with things being somewhat buried at times. I usually switch directly to either Technologies or Wiki, simply because those two sections have a better overview of what is on the site. But I would very much welcome a comprehensive overview of what is on labs and just as important; what is behind the name when a new technology enters the list. One thing that sometimes could be interesting to see in an overview, is its place on a timeline - is it an old technology being renamed and polished - or is it something entirely new and ground breaking, likely to produce articles for a long time? Apart from that, I think the lab works absolutely brilliantly.
3. Re: Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsArtur Obrzut Aug 7, 2008 11:39 PM (in response to Daniel T)I believe there are some problems with RSS feeds (not updated, getting a lot of items at once from different dates). Improving RSS is the feature I am waiting for the most.
4. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancementsjimatjude Aug 8, 2008 3:59 AM (in response to Daniel T)I find the site "confusing" in a navigation senese. Cannot find what I am looking for. Items come advertised in RSS or email but when I get to the lab they are hidden away in a corner. Also seems like things are too many clicks away.
5. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancementsabouttodelete Aug 8, 2008 6:32 AM (in response to Daniel T)I think it should be redone using Drupal (like the Flex site), so that the various disparate areas (wiki etc) can be fully integrated, and issues with both the navigation and user experience can be solved.
6. Re: Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsChrisCharlton Aug 8, 2008 8:38 AM (in response to Daniel T)1. RSS feeds should be auto-discoverable on the labs homepage.
2. Showcase is lacking... a lot. Link to the Flex Showcase at least. :) http://labs.adobe.com/showcase/
*3. The "your account" link showed an error for me today, funny.
7. Adobe Labs Site Enhancements.V1 Aug 8, 2008 12:22 PM (in response to Daniel T)About forum:
A more userfiendly system would be more than welcome,
- Easyer access to people's profiles, and see there contact options
- Reading messages in popups? That is really annoying.. And the reply box is like 50 x 100 px. Thanks god safari allows me to resize that.
- Allow attachments.
- Allow code attachments with syntax highlighting?
pasting javascript loops with a {i} is messing up the whole code :!
- Better navigation
8. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancementsregnard Aug 8, 2008 6:11 PM (in response to Daniel T)I think the most difficult part to use is the Tehcnologies page.
I recommend making the table sortable and the criteria for release dates, status, etc. can be sorted. Making it in a tabular format would help, IMHO.

10. Re: Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsMichaelRH Aug 8, 2008 11:19 PM (in response to MichaelRH)Don't mean to reply to myself, but it turns out I can't find Cairngorm on Labs anymore is because it got moved to Adobe OpenSource.
11. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancementsvilehelm Aug 9, 2008 7:44 PM (in response to Daniel T)A means to organize by product would be great.
12. Re: Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsLisa Wilcox Aug 10, 2008 8:34 AM (in response to Daniel T)I concur with the to coin Jacob Neilsen's phrase "mystery meat navigation". My other beef is the small text can be hard to read. Perhaps an option to increase the font size based on the user, also better sorting and organizing of the tables. The data seems buried.
13. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancementssubkst Aug 13, 2008 8:56 AM (in response to Daniel T)Liquid layout PLEASE.
Fast search that spans the site and all the related sites and resources.
14. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancementsbvl Aug 13, 2008 10:00 AM (in response to subkst)I would like to be able to have a more direct contact with the team behind the technologies released on labs. For example due to a lack on my behalf regarding the design decisions behind the new Flash 10 text engine I didn't expect some results I got when testing the engine, I even submitted some bugs that turned out to be as design but departed from how text rendering was designed before.
I think that if such questions could be ask in a adobe-team-to-user forum many benefits would occur. The team get's know what the end-users are struggling with, less non-bugs will be submitted, better feedback because of the higher level of understanding in the end by the end-users, better final product due to better/deeper testing by end-users, every other end-user can learn from the Q&A etc. For this kind of purpose the current user to user forums are seldom bringing any answers because the technology is new to everyone.
15. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancements_Albertx_ Aug 17, 2008 10:23 AM (in response to Daniel T)I think it would be nice to have a interface like DevNet from Adobe.com
I mean the accordion component you have there is very useful for viewing large amounts of data and we can switch between then very easily, we could find the information we want with a few clicks.
You could place an accordion area for "featured technologies" another one for "latest releases", probably another more for the "showcase" and more.
Also when you load the page 2 or 3 sections could open automatically for let us view the most relevant information of products, etc.
16. Re: Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsKarzons Oct 6, 2008 1:46 PM (in response to Daniel T)vilehelm, I think you are totally right here
17. Re: Adobe Labs Site Enhancementsoldgearhead Oct 8, 2008 5:17 PM (in response to bvl)I just think it would be nice if I could get Labs_Camera/DNG Profiles to install on my LR2.1 with ACR 4.6..
I've followed all the instructions and the installer runs okay but ACR 4.6 instead of Adobe Standard is always displayed.

The post has nothing to do with the subject of the questions
20. Re: Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsDaniel T Dec 2, 2008 6:24 PM (in response to Daniel T)Thank you everyone for your feedback! Please continue to use this thread to provide feedback regarding possible enhancements to the Labs site.
We are currently working on collecting requirements for the new site design and one of the major areas that we will strive to improve is the overall navigation and discoverability of content. I totally agree that the organization of the site, specifically the technology index page and the wiki content, can make for some long searches and multiple clicks. The experience will be better in the next version of the site so that visitors can easily find the technologies that interest them, or just the specific technologies that they are looking for (either by name or by product).
Some of you may have noticed that with the CS4 and MAX launches we introduced the concept of "product centers" and added links to these pages from the home page and from the right-hand navigation components. I hope that this early change has enabled you to dive into some new Labs technologies based on the products that you own. It appears that the product center links on the home page are consistently among the top 15 most-clicked, which is pretty awesome.
Please keep the feedback and requests coming!
21. Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsDanHardaker Dec 16, 2008 6:05 AM (in response to Daniel T)Is there a problem with the labs RSS feeds recently? I haven't seen any new items in bloglines for over a week but obviously the blog is being updated...problem with bloglines? All my other feeds seem to be working fine.

Feed content will occasionally be published in a belated manner and the timestamp will reflect the date of the change on the site, not the date that the blog entry hit the RSS feed. Sorry for the confusion.
23. Re: Adobe Labs Site EnhancementsDanHardaker Dec 18, 2008 8:48 AM (in response to Daniel T)Many thanks Daniel...my reader seems to have caught up with the feed now so all good!
