Adidas Originals presents the Star Wars Cantina 2010 FIFA cantina party
The film is a creative re-edit of one of the most famous Star Wars movie scenes, the Mos Eisley Cantina, and features David Beckham, Franz Beckenbauer, Snoop Dogg, Noel Gallagher, Ian Brown, Ciara, Jay Baruchel, Daft Punk, DJ Neil Armstrong, and not to mention Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Link To Video
To seamlessly integrate new shots of David Beckham, Snoop Dogg and company into original Star Wars footage, a set was created to replicate the original dimensions of that bar featured in the film. This enabled the performers to work realistically with the props, make the correct eye-lines and so on. Where they were required to interact with Star Wars characters, stand-ins were used to ensure a realistic performance. The color palettes and lighting conditions of the new shots were also carefully chosen so they could be easily blended with the original footage. To bring the new ad up to date, television screens featuring a football match together with various pieces of football memorabilia were also created and added to the bar scene.
Software called Flame® was used to composite (superimpose) the old and new shots together and remove old characters from the footage - taking care to blend the edges and make the joins seamless. Finally, the film was graded by The Mill's colorists using a grading system called Baselight® to ensure that both the original cinematic footage and newly shot HD footage matched and the overall effect was flawless.

Warriors knicks April 2nd! Dubs win!
The Warriors put together an impressive all-around game on Friday, defeating the visiting Knicks in a 128-117 contest at Oracle Arena. Anthony Morrow had perhaps his best game of the season, coming off the bench to score 35 points on 16-23 shooting on the night. Reggie Williams was also efficient from the floor, making 11 of 13 shots and scoring 23 points, while Stephen Curry finished with 15 points and 10 assists. The victory marked the 1,331st of Don Nelson's career, putting him just two wins short of passing Lenny Wilkins' as the all-time winningest coach in NBA history. Click here for more on Nelson's pursuit of history. The Warriors will now embark upon a four-game road trip that will begin on Sunday in Toronto.

Samsung C9000 HDTV and Touch Remote
It's quite amazing. lovin that remote.
Video Information
The Samsung C9000 Touch Remote, which comes with the new LE 9000 sets, connects over your Wi-Fi network to control the TV. The screen is vibrant and high-contrast. Use the touch remote to control programming guides and your TV via infrared. You can also take advantage of the "twin mode" using Wi-Fi so you can watch what you're TV has on screen on your remote.
The remote works over a Wi-Fi router and can pull not only the same show the consumer is watching on the screen, it can also act like a picture-in-picture window letting you see what else is playing at the moment. Since it works over IR, it can be programmed to be a universal remote for all your living room appliances. But because it also works over Wi-Fi, you can pull media off your computer using DLNA and play it on your big screen TV.
You can even browse through all your music, photos and video from another PC at home using DLNA technology. Once you've found the vacation photos from last year on the extra screen on the remote, you can "beat the air" with the remote towards the TV and the content will now be displayed full screen on your TV.

Warriors 118, Nuggets 123 (OT) – Never a Dull Moment
Blog title from Golden State of Mind Blog.
Well dubs(warriors) lost. it was such a good game though. Went to ot. We hit a couple of clutch 3s. Was alot of fun. :) First Warriors game i've been to in forever. I think the year was 1992 when i got to see the warriors vs the heat. We blew them away that game. This time it was an exciting close back and forth game. I took a couple pics and videos, though we were up pretty high. Still a ton of fun. can't wait to go to another game.

Philosophy and The Good Life
The Good Life. A life well lived. The most desirable way to live. The concept of The Good Life and what exactly it means to life The Good Life often reflects the current worldview for each section of history examined. At the most basic you would find The Good Life is defined by each individual differently by asking questions. How we find define what gives us the most enjoyment in life. Living life to the fullest. Realizing how to reach a personal balance in your life. The search for the Good Life goes hand in hand with studying philosophy. You ask yourself the same questions about what you belief, and how you defend that belief.
While The Good Life has many definitions when we find what allows us to live the way we want, with enjoyment, in a way we feel is worth working for we are living The Good Life. These ideas depend on many different factors including how you were raised, the environment that effected you, even the time in history you are living in. For example people in the middle ages found The Good Life for them was a platonic worldview with focus on religion. While those living during renaissance found a renewed interest in the unique individual and arts.
The Good Life can give the feeling of living live the right way, the enjoyment of pursuing and achieving goals. In hedonism it involves getting as much pleasure out of life as possible. Living life only for pleasure. The argument against that by Aristotle is pleasure is not an activity, but the result or bonus from the completion of activities. So while pleasure is a important part of The Good Life it is not the good life itself. Other components of The Good Life include success, wealth and financial status as well as the feeling you get striving for success. Asceticism, finding pleasure through the simple things in life. Freedom, as in the freedom to do what one wants. Religion, a life of devotion to a god or something bigger than self. Happiness, as another term for the good life itself. A combination of components of The Good Life used for personal development.
The purpose of The Good Life is to define for yourself how to live the most desirable way. When you examine the components of The Good Life you find they are all self centered. Personal choices that for the most part decide the type of life you wish to live. Egoism the idea that everyone acts only for own self interest and advantage. At the same time acting in a way that helps yourself can and does effect others as well. If you start to act only for the sake of other people's interest this would be the view of altruism. So you could view things from an egoist standpoint or an altruistic view. As in all things balance is the key. The goal of The Good Life is to examine what is the best balance for your life in each component.
The origin of The Good Life goes right along with the origins of Philosophy itself. In many of Plato's writings the recurrent theme is the is the search for The Good Life. Socrates discussions show this was a topic of discussion with different ideas that had been talked about even before these early philosophers. Considering what it means to live to live The Good Life in each of its components you could say the origin goes back to the beginning of humanity itself. The earliest humans had to search for the ways to live the best possible life.
So we find there are many ways to define and describe what the good life is. Living the best life possible. Exploring how using pleasure, success, asceticism, freedom, religion, and happiness can lead us to our own personal view of The Good Life. As well as exploring Egoist and Altruistic positions Another way to achieve The Good Life would be Carpe diem! Seize the day! Live in the moment to enjoy yourself rather than worrying about maintaining any big picture ideas. The Good Life is a personal decision everyone has to decide for themselves.

No fluke! Broncos beat the Chargers to stay undefeated.
SAN DIEGO (AP)—Eddie Royal(notes) became the first player in Broncos history to return a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in the same game, leading undefeated Denver to a wild 34-23 win over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night.
The Broncos didn't get an offensive touchdown until Kyle Orton(notes) threw a 19-yard pass to tight end Tony Scheffler(notes) late in the third quarter for a 24-23 lead. Denver added a field goal by Matt Prater(notes) and a late 5-yard touchdown catch by Brandon Stokley(notes) that was upheld on review.
This is the fifth time the Broncos have been 6-0, the first since going 13-0 in 1998 en route to winning their second straight Super Bowl behind John Elway. They opened a 3 1/2 -game lead in the AFC West over three-time defending division champion San Diego (2-3).
Denver outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil(notes) had two sacks to extend his NFL lead to 10. His second sack caused Philip Rivers(notes) to fumble, with Vonnie Holliday(notes) recovering to set up Prater's 29-yard field goal. The Broncos sacked Rivers five times, three in the fourth quarter.
Royal is the 11th player in NFL history to return a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown in a game. He had a 93-yard kickoff return and a 71-yard punt return.
Chargers never stood a chance and they knew it. Bronc's turn it on in the 2nd half all year. 3 point lead not nearly enough. If the pats couldn't compete with us, the chargers knew they had nothing. Tomlinson had 70 yards that's pretty impressive at least :P

Where the Wild Things Are
Seen Where The Wild Things are! :) Just as awesome as I was hoping for :)
Turning a beloved children's book into a film is not a task to be taken lightly. The discount DVD bin is full of adaptations gone wrong (we're looking at you, "The Cat in the Hat"). Fortunately, if critics are to be believed, the makers of "Where the Wild Things Are" have dodged those problems and are releasing something "profoundly beautiful and affecting."
That's how Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum sums up her thoughts on the highly anticipated Spike Jonze feature. Ms. Schwarzbaum gives the film an "A" and notes that "whatever the (well-documented) struggles it took to create this gem, the result is worth every monster growl."
EW is hardly the only outlet to shovel on the superlatives. Filmcritic.com, a part of AMC, calls the film "absolutely amazing, as scary and beautiful as being a kid all over again." Awarding the movie 5 out of 5 stars, writer Bill Gibron goes on to state that Spike Jonze's adaptation "is an achievement of true artistic wonder and epic imagination."
Famed film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times was a bit more stingy with the praise, but still awarded the film three out of four stars. Quoth the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist: "The film will play better for older audiences remembering a much-loved book from childhood, and not as well with kids who have been trained on slam-bam action animation."
Mr. Ebert raises an interesting point: Unlike other adaptations like "Curious George," the makers of "Where the Wild Things Are" didn't go the G-rated route. The film's trailer, for example, features a track from alt-rock heavyweights Arcade Fire. And the official soundtrack is handled, for the most part, by Karen O, lead singer for the equally hip Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Web searches on the film are also dominated by young adults. Less than 7% of the searches are from kids 13 and under.
While the film is garnering mostly positive reviews, not everyone is buying into Spike Jonze's vision. The Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt calls the film "uninvolving" and notes that "adults are likely to grow weary of the repetitiveness." Another rough notice came from David Denby of The New Yorker, who complains that the monsters are anything but wild. On the contrary, Denby feels they bicker and seem "defeated."
Where the Wild Things Are
Among the film's stars, child actor Max Records is getting positive reviews, as is Catherine Keener, who plays his exasperated mom. James Gandolfini, Lauren Ambrose, and Forest Whitaker lent their vocal talents to the "Wild Things." For the creatures, Jonze originally intended for them to be created using only performers in suits. But the mechanics for moving their facial features were too heavy to support, so they were removed and the Wild Things' expressions were enhanced later by digital effects.
Of course, the movie wouldn't exist if not were not for Maurice Sendak's book. Critics note that the book will continue to stand on its own as an absolute classic, despite the film's likely success.
For more on the creative process that went into translating the book into film, check out this Newsweek interview with Sendak, Jonze, and cowriter Dave Eggers. It wasn't always easy, but the final results look to be well worth the effort. But parents should take note: As one critic puts it, this is a movie about a child, but it's not a children's movie.

Broncos 5-0 !!!!! That's right !!
That's right!!! Wooooo!!! Broncos undefeated! They just beat the already 1 now 2 loss patriots who were in the top team power rankings. should we still put them up there because they have brady? Can the Broncos's get some respect? :) Lovin ...it! So proud of marshall, orton, and how bout Mc Daniels there at the end celebrating with the fans. That's what I like to see :)
Orton orchestrates game-tying drive as Broncos finish off Patriots in OT
The Broncos just beat New England in overtime and first-year Broncos coach Josh McDaniels led a raucous celebration. McDaniels went near the stands, spurring the fans with wild fist pumping. Then, he jumped into the arms of his players. There's plenty to celebrate.
The Broncos are 5-0 and the NFL's most compelling story.
After starting 3-0 against weaker competition, Denver overcame deficits to beat Dallas and New England.
The Broncos are for real and their exuberant 33-year-old coach is loving every minute of it.
McD over Belichick as Broncos defeat Pats 20-17
Kyle Orton(notes) threw for 330 yards, Marshall caught two TD passes, and Eddie Royal had 10 receptions for 90 yards. Tom Brady was ok in the first half against the Broncos, but he was fully contained in the second (5-for-14, 63 yards, fumble). Denver's defense clearly needs to be taken seriously. After five weeks, they're allowing only 8.6 points ... Read Moreand 252.8 yards per game.
They said oh it's just the bengals (they are undeafeated except the loss to us) Wait till they play the cowboys, won. Still not real, wait till they play the pats. BLAM! Now wait for the playoffs? Ha! They said we would have a worse record then the raiders? what happened there? What happened to the chargers?
Nope..... Bronc's are for real!!!!!!!! Mc D is for real!!

District 9 In Theaters Review from SDCC
I want to see it again. I really didn't know what to expect when seeing the world premiere at san diego. This is pretty much the best movie this year. Right up there with my favorites now.
Here's the clip i wrote in my SDCC report
Here's the clip i wrote in my SDCC report
On Thursday night we were lucky enough to be the first to see the world premiere, no hollywood premiere, of District 9. Peter Jackson was there to introduce the first time director Neill Blomkamp and actor Sharlto Copley. I read a article on the way down to the con on how it was the halo movie, it wasn't but it really was amazing. Best Sci-fi movie i've seen in a long time. Has a Little feel of the office/cloverfield/alien nation. It really is great though. I plan to see it again in theaters. I got to meet Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan who were there as well for the screening. I told Dominic it would be great to see him on LOST again, and he said you never know. Then later at the LOST Panel he showed up. ha!

G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Movie Review
Go Joe! :p Headed out to see the film now. :)
Interesting that they wanted to avoid bad reviews so they didn't show at SDCC or to critics. probably for the best. I'm thinking just a fun mindless summer movie. :)
REVIEW good movie :) I really don't think they could do any better then what they did. It probably was for the best they avoided the reviews, it would of gotten similar reviews to transformers 2. I liked both films, but i think i like Joe a touch more. A fun film for sure. They did good keeping the action going.
Spoiler'ish talk I had seen the look of cobra commander, so it wasn't really a let down. I don't like it, but i can see how it works, hopefully if they do another they will go to the classic hood or helmet. Killing off cover girl was a bit surprising, but again i guess someone has to go. Speaking of, I can't believe they decided to kill off storm shadow. Sure they could find a excuse to bring him back chemically, or robotic like. I would of preferred to see him escape. Also baroness turning from bad to good. :/ eh. it was done ok, but she's one of the coolest bad guys. For a sequel they would be without baroness and storm shadow unless the make up some excuse. I thought it was great how much they kept a good amount of characters in the story. I didn't expect heavy duty and breaker to get as much screen time. Glad they did though. So yeah i thought it was great :)

San Diego Comic Con 2009 Wrap Up Report
I should of made a post before taking off for the con this year, but for some reason again I didn't pack till the last second, and was up till past 2 in the morning trying to make shirts to promote 30rockquotes.net
I was surprised how fast passes sold out this year and I missed out on a 4 day pass and had to buy all days separate. I was hoping they would be nice and just give me the 4 day pass, but no they wanted me to come back everyday and get a pass. They did let me into preview night so at least they didn't take that away.
First thing I did was visit Katie Cook so I could put in my order for art. It really turned out amazing. I got a full fett, and a bunch of mini paintings. Also picked up her sketch books. next I visited Grant Gould. I pre ordered a fett from him that's pretty awesome as well. I visited a couple of other artists. Got a sketch of Guile from one of the street fighter artists. Later in the show i got a fett sketch from the Fillbach Brothers, and a sketch card of fett from John Watkins-Chow. My goal this year was to visit artists and get some cool stuff, They were all very nice, and I'm real happy with what I got :)
On Thursday I spent just under 4 hours dealing with the Hasbro toyshop line. First a line to get a ticket to get in the line at the booth. Then around the booth a couple times before zig zaging toward the counter. Quite a pain, but I got the stuff we were after so it was cool. My little pony, littlest pet shop, muggs, baroness, and destro.
Got the rest of the collectible exclusives I was after as well as the show went on. LOST Ben bobble head, Guile figure, Ghostbusters minimates, and a couple other cool items.
On the floor they had a real nice display of custom mighty muggs (my favorite collectable) that are going to go up for charity soon. Another cool spot was a display of props from across all 5 seasons of LOST. That was one thing i sadly missed getting pics from.
Katie Cook's Custom Wampa. So awesome
One of the biggest highlights of the show for me was meeting Elizabeth Mitchell. She was doing a signing for her new show V. She was really nice. Talked a little LOST. How bummed I was about what happened in the finale. I tried to get a pic, but it ended up very blurry, she offered to take again, but I knew it wouldn't get any better. It was really great to meet her though :)
On Thursday night we were lucky enough to be the first to see the world premiere, no hollywood premiere, of District 9. Peter Jackson was there to introduce the first time director Neill Blomkamp and actor Sharlto Copley. I read a article on the way down to the con on how it was the halo movie, it wasn't but it really was amazing. Best Sci-fi movie i've seen in a long time. Has a Little feel of the office/cloverfield/alien nation. It really is great though. I plan to see it again in theaters. I got to meet Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan who were there as well for the screening. I told Dominic it would be great to see him on LOST again, and he said you never know. Then later at the LOST Panel he showed up. ha!
District 9 star Sharlto Copley, Kevin, and I
Later that night we came across one of the coolest things at the con. Flynn's Arcade. Which was a tron experience to promote the upcoming tron film. We arrived just in time to see them revel the sign. It was at a random building around the corner from our hotel. It was like a 80's arcade with the games to play for free. Blasting 80's music. After about 15 minutes the place started to shake and the back of the arcade opened up to a hall of concept art for the film, and at the end they had one of the light bikes. Got Cool T shirts of flynn's arcade and flynn lives. They had a experience like this for alice in wonderland, but i missed it. we got pics of it though.
Friday was starwars day. I started off trying to get into Where the wild things are panel in H. It was part of the WB panel. Kevin and I were literally the last 2 people they cut off before wild things started. Super Bummed. I went right to the WB booth when the kid, who's name happens to be max just like the character, was doing a limited signing. They weren't taking a line for it, but if you just stood around and ignored them you could slowly work your way when they did open a line. It was nice to get that signing since they weren't giving out anything else wild things the rest of the show. From there i went to The Star Wars Panels the rest of the day. The voice actors one was cool since they did a read through in character of the first scene from the upcoming season. The old republic videogame panel didn't give much info. Sounds like a great game, but when I went up to the front after the panel ended they would give any info at all on a possible release date. The big starwars spectacular in the big hall H was hosted my Kevin and Olivia from G4. It turned out pretty much as i figured with Olivia hassling the guests. The preview for season 2 of the clonewars was great. Mando's woo! You can still see it online.
Saturday everything i did was in panels which made me feel like I was missing something elsewhere. First was LOST which was one of the best panels as usual. Gonna miss that one at the con. Not too many teases for the final season except a couple of videos where Hurley is advertising for Mr clucks saying what good luck he's had since going to Australia, and a Americas most wanted about Kate talking about how she tried to kill her step dad, but killed someone close to her. Sounds like a alt time line. Jorge who plays hurley was in the question line and asked if the bomb did work then all the past 5 seasons were for nothing. The writers replied that he would have to trust them. Emerson who plays Ben them showed up and started playfully insulting Jorge/Hurley. Nestor who plays Richard Alpert was there. The big one was Josh Holloway/Sawyer. He wanted the writers to show the page with the final scene for the audience. Emerson read it and it ended up being a fake heroes script. lol! They also showed a couple of funny fan videos.
I decided to sit through the rest of the panels that day so I wouldn't miss out on Ironman 2. Other panels included Solomon Kane, Zombieland, 2012, and Extract. That one was cool since Bateman was there. He spoke on the upcoming arrested development movie. He said they were writing it, but could take 6 weeks to 18 months to finish :/ Extract looks good too. Mike Judge film with a feel like office space set in a warehouse.
Ironman 2. Glad I waited for it. The place was completely full, and i think those that even showed up for the panel before (2012) didn't get in. I heard some of the people that went into the food area of hall h weren't let back in, and they only went 45 minutes instead of the full hour because of the fire Marshall. Jon Favreau, Robert Downey Jr., Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, and Sam Rockwell attended. At first they showed a cheesy little ironman 2 next summer clip with no footage just the cast training. Downey Jr then demanded more for the people. You could tell it was clips set up just for the con. Pretty cool stuff. A scene with Downey Jr and Sam Jackson. The shot of Mickey Rourke as whiplash was real cool, whipping over and over. They ended it with a scene of Sam Rockwell showing weapons to Don Cheadle asking what he wants, with Cheadle replying "all of it" Then footage of War Machine unloading like crazy. So yeah Cool stuff :P
Last panel of Saturday was Weeds. Jenji Kohan, Justin Kirk, and Hunter Parrish attended. no info, footage, or anything. Still a good panel though. I was a little annoyed how many people at question time said they didn't know Jenji was a lady. Got my badge signed by Hunter Parrish.
Sunday I attended Katie Cook's how to draw star wars panel. It was fun, glad it wasn't full this year. It was last year, and i didn't want to take a seat from a kid. Did final last things on the floor, said bye and thanks to the artists I met.
Our first hotel was the gas lamp Marriott. It wasn't too far away and had a great view into petco park. The padres and marlins just happened to be playing when we got there. Had a cool little rooftop bar too that we visited the first night. On Friday we moved over to the Marriott right next to the convention center. More stars, and the amazing pool. Somehow it seemed further to me even though it was right next to. I guess cause it's opposite Hall H and we ended up in that line a couple times Friday and Saturday. We stayed a extra day this year. So it was nice to be able and enjoy the pool and hotel. Also visited the seaport village on monday before we left for the airport.
Ah Joel won big again this year. A cam corder from 2012. He won a ambassador spot to promote the film. Maybe he will end up with another prize.
So yeah wrote a ton again this year in which i don't count on anyone reading anything, but it will be fun for me to look back on. The con was great fun again this year, and I'm already looking forward to next year. :)

Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition
When the anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is released on November 10, its $150 Prestige Edition will include what's surely the most extravagant bundled bonus ever -- a fully-functioning pair of night-vision goggles.
It'll retail at $150, and considering that even basic night vision goggles easily run over $100 on their own, it actually sounds like a pretty good deal. All the same, as far as we can determine, it's the most expensive retail video game bundle in history, discounting games that came with their own custom controllers.
Impressive. Those night vision goggles could be quite cool.

Another really great Wimbledon this year. Last year was amazing and this year was just as good. I was really going for Roddick. The 30 game last set was amazing. It was really tough for Roddick though considering Federer served first. Roddick really didn't have room for even 1 mistake.

A Flower Vase From Waste.Published January 28, 2013 by Aisha sherina
I found two piece of glass lying in my store-room and made two unique piece of art from it. In the first I stuck it over a hard board and then painted it. And decorated with silver beads around the board. Came out the same way as I had thought.
In the second one the rectangular sheet was made from ceramic clay and then painted it peacock feather colors. Then I stuck the glass piece over it. Now it can be used as a vase.

REVERSE GLASS PAINTING- HousePublished April 5, 2012 by Aisha sherina
In Reverse glass painting technique the painting is done on one side of the glass and viewed from the other side of the glass. Unlike in normal glass painting, in reverse glass painting the finer details are done first and then the background. Which means the details that have to be seen in the foreground is painted initially. For instance, if you are painting a body with jewellery first you need to paint the jewellery followed by the body. So in reverse glass painting minute details like eyes, lips, eyebrows are painted and then the face.

The Maldon suspension bridge is an old abandoned bridge built in 1903, the bridge is closed to all traffic and blocked off at either end, if you wish to climb onto the bridge you will need to do so from the side and understand that the bridge is not maintained and exploring on it carries a significant risk. There is no parking and the gate into the abandoned road is locked so you will need to park up the road and walk down. Roughly 400m down the abandoned road over the armco barrier you will see a warn in track that goes down to Maldon weir. The weir offers a nice swimming spot and people often slide down the weir on crates.
Unfortunately the Maldon suspension bridge was recently the target of an arson attack, leaving a large portion of the bridge heavily damaged. We highly advise due to this damage to the bridge and other damage from recent floods in the area that you do no climb on or walk across the bridge. It is still well worth checking out from afar and below.

County moving forward with observation tower
The Jackson County Commissioners have signed an architectural and structural engineering contract with Falk Architects of Topeka as they have decided to move forward with the construction of an observation tower at Banner Creek Reservoir.
On Monday, the commissioners signed a $1,500 contract with Falk, which included a reported $1,000 discount, to research similar observation towers and provide sketches and final renderings of the tower prior to its construction here.
Falk will also coordinate with the Westar Energy Green Team, which has agreed to provide materials and building assistance for the tower at no cost, it was reported.
According to Westar's website, the volunteer Green Team completes 50 to 70 projects a year on the weekends for conservation groups, agencies and schools in order to "enhance and foster an understanding of the Kansas environment."
The team is currently building a two-story observation tower at Baker Wetlands in Lawrence, using recycled lumber from old Westar transmission lines for the tower's poles, beams and planking.
At Monday's meeting, it was noted that the Green Team will provide all the materials and labor for the tower, except for the roofing, railings and fencing around the perimeter of the tower.
The additional work will be completed by county staff or by a private contractor, it was reported.

I want to buy a new digital camera, and I've been comparison shopping online. I want a good camera that will allow me to take good pictures and learn more about photogaphy. But I also want a compact camera that I can use and cary easily. I was looking at the Canon Powershot S80 as an option, but today news came out about the Canon PowerShot G7. They are both pretty expensive though, G7 is expected to go for 600 dollars. I don't know much about cameras so I don't really even know how to evaluate them. I need to take a photography class.

hi sean, thanks for your comment in my blog. i was in same situation as you when i first shopped for camera in 2004. and i made a big mistake of trusting tv ads too much. what i want then was a camera with good sharp image and ended up buying the one shown on tv, claiming that nothing else was sharper. a mistake.
a few months after that, out of frustration, i went shopping for another camera and at that time the Canon Powershot G6 was the best I can afford. still using it till this day with 80 per cent satisfaction.
the s80 is a wide angle camera, can't really zoom with it, but good for taking panoramic view or large group of people. if powerful zoom is what you want… then the Canon S3 IS will be a good choice (it has 12x optical zoom, twice that of the G7)
but i think the G7 will be a great camera. you can play a lot of low light photography with the high ISO. sometime i hate the fact that i had to use flash when what i really wanted was to capture the shadows and light of a dimly lighted dinner hall, but my camera just could not take the photo without using flash because of the limited ISO.
oppss… sorry for the long comment. camera is a subject i can get carried away easily. all the best with your shopping!

I ended up leaving a comment on his blog letting him know I was comparing different camera's, and he left a really great comment on my blog explaining the differences between the camera's I was considering. If anyone is interested you can read his comment here. Thanks Jaxon. […]

Here's an amazing Scientific American article I came across this morning - Science teachers, please take note! It's called 'Science 2.0: Great New Tool, or Great Risk?' which is not just an article but a web 2.0 "experiment" in "networked journalism", since the article itself will be re-written with views of all those who comment on it. Probing the role of open, collaborative technologies such as blogs and wikis within an inherently "secretive" research communtiy, the issues that the article is urging readers and contributors to look at (in the context of scientific journalism) --
- What do you think of the article itself? Are there errors? Oversimplifications? Gaps?
- What do you think of the notion of "Science 2.0?" Will Web 2.0 tools really make science much more productive? Will wikis, blogs and the like be transformative, or will they be just a minor convenience?
- Science 2.0 is one aspect of a broader Open Science movement, which also includes Open-Access scientific publishing and Open Data practices. How do you think this bigger movement will evolve?
- Looking at your own scientific field, how real is the suspicion and mistrust mentioned in the article? How much do you and your colleagues worry about getting "scooped"? Do you have first-hand knowledge of a case in which that has actually happened?
- When young scientists speak out on an open blog or wiki, do they risk hurting their careers?
- Is "open notebook" science always a good idea? Are there certain aspects of a project that researchers should keep quite, at least until the paper is published?

Paro (Western Bhutan)
Elevation: 7480 ft/ 2,280 m
Paro is a town and seat of Paro District in the Paro Valley of Bhutan. It is home to Paro Airport, Bhutan's only international airport.
In & Around Paro
Paro Dzong: Built in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the first spiritual and temporal ruler of Bhutan, the Dzong houses the monastic body and administration of Paro.
National Museum: Also known as watch tower built to defend Rinpung Dozng during inter-valley wars of the 17th century, since 1967 the Watch Tower is serving as the National Museum of the country. It holds fascinating collection of art, relics, religious thangkha paintings and Bhutan's exquisite postage stamps. The museum circular shape augments its varied collection displayed over several floors.
Ruined Drukgyel Dzong: This Dzong, with a delightful village nestling at its foot, was built in 1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to commemorate his victory over the Tibetan invaders. The glory of Drukgyel Dzong remained even when it was destroyed by fire in 1951.
Kyichu Lhakhang: It is one of the oldest and most sacred shrines of the Kingdom dating back to 7th century (the other is Jambey Lhakahng in Bumthang). The lhakhang complex is composed of two temples. The first temple was built by Tibetan King, Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century and in 1968, H.M. Ashi Kesang, the Queen Mother of Bhutan, built the second temple in original pattern.
Taktshang Lhakhang (Tiger's Nest): It is one of the most famous of Bhutan's monasteries, perched on the side of a cliff 900m above the Paro valley floor. It is said that Guru Rinpoche flew on the back of a tigress and meditated at this monastery and hence it is called "Tiger's Nest". This site has been recognized as a most sacred place and visited by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1646 and now visited by all Bhutanese at least once in their lifetime. On 19 April, 1998, a fire severely damaged the main structure of building but now this Bhutanese jewel has been restored to its original splendor.
Thimphu (Western Bhutan)
Elevation: 7656 ft/ 2,320 m
Bhutan's capital, occupies a valley in the country's western interior. In addition to being the government seat, the city is known for its Buddhist sites. The massive Tashichho Dzong is a fortified monastery and government palace with gold-leaf roofs.

Punakha (Central Bhutan)
Elevation: 4265 ft/ 1,300 m
Punakha is the administrative centre of Punakha dzongkhag, one of the 20 districts of Bhutan. Punakha was the capital of Bhutan and the seat of government until 1955, when the capital was moved to Thimphu.
In & Around Punakha
Punakha Dzong: Built strategically at the junction of Pho Chhu and Mo Chhu rivers in 1637, by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal to serve as the religious and administrative centre of the region, Punakha Dzong has played an important role in Bhutan's history.

Chimi Lhakhang or Fertility Temple: The Chimi Lhakhang, situated on a hillock in the centre of the valley, is dedicated to Lama Drukpa Kuenley, who in the late 15th century used humor, songs and outrageous behavior to dramatize his teachings and due to this also known as "Divine Madman". This temple is also known as the temple of fertility.

Wangduephodrang (Central Bhutan)
Elevation : 4430 ft/ 1,350 m
In & Around Wangduephodrang
Wangduephodrang is the last town on the central highway before central Bhutan. The town is not more than an enlarged village with a few well-provided shops. Located in the south of Punakha, the higher reaches of the Wangduephodrang valley provide rich pastureland for cattle. This district is also famous for its fine bamboo products, slate and stone carvings.
The only one thing to visit at this place is the massive Dzong but unfortunately it got burnt down on 24 June 2012. The major renovation work is in progress. Therefore no one is allowed to visit the site as of now.
Gangtey or Phobjikha Valley (Central Bhutan)
Elevation :9800 ft/ 3,000 m
Gangtey or Phobjikha valley is also a part of Wangduephodrang which is more than two hours drive on the way to Central Bhutan. The valley of Gangtey is one of the most beautiful Valleys in Bhutan. The surprise of finding such a wide, flat valley without any trees after the hard climb through dense forests is augmented by an impression of vast space, and extremely rare experience in Bhutan where most of the valley's are tightly enclosed.
A few kilometers beyond the Gangtey Monastery, on the valley floor lies the valley of Phobjikha. This place is the winter home of black necked cranes that migrate from Tibet in winter.
In & Around Paro

Gangtey was founded by Pema Trinley, the grandson of Pema Lingpa, the famous Nyingmapa saint of Bhutan. In 1613, Pema Trinley established the monastery and became the first Gangtey Tulku. The religious traditions of Pema Lingpa still taught there. The second Tulku, Tenzin Legpa Dondrup (1645 to 1726), enhanced the size of Gangtey while keeping up good relations with Drukpas, and rebuilt the monastery in the form of a Dzong.

In & Around Trongsa
Chendbji Chorten: approximately four hours drive from Wangduephodrang is Chendbji Chorten, patterned on Swayambhunath temple in Kathmandu. It was built in 18th century by Lama Shida, from Tibet, to cover the remains of an evil spirit that was subdued at this spot.
Trongsa Dzong: Like almost all towns in the Kingdom, this Dzong architecture dominates the entire Trongsa horizon dwarfing the surrounding buildings. Built in 1648, it was the seat of power over central and eastern Bhutan. Both the first and second King ruled the country from this ancient seat.
Protected from invaders by an impenetrable valley, Trongsa Dzong is an impregnable fortress. The Dzong itself is a labyrinth of temples, corridors and offices holding court over the local community. It is built on many levels into the side of the hill and can be seen from every approach to Trongsa heralding its strength as a defensive stronghold.
Ta Dzong: The Ta Dzong, a cylindrical stone structure rising five storeys, was built in 1652 by Chogyal Minjur Tempa, a task entrusted to him by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal. After more than 350 years, it has been resurrected into a classy museum that represents a tasteful blend of tradition and modernity. There are 224 items on display including a sacred image of Sung Joenma Dorji Chang (self spoken Vajradharna), a bronze statue of Pema Lingpa, made by himself, and a number of centuries-old treasures like dance and ritual costumes and objects, ancient prayer books, paintings and scrolls, and textiles.
The Ta Dzong is a living museum and the main lhakhang in the Utse is dedicated to the Maitreya Buddha (Gyaltsab Jampa), also known as the Future Buddha). A Khesar Lhakhang is dedicated to Khesar of Ling. The tower has always been a place of retreat and there are hermits in practice, including two yogis, who are in lifelong meditation. The Ta Dzong is the only structure that has been restored specifically to tribute the Wangchuck dynasty as Bhutan celebrates the centenary of the Monarchy.

Elevation : 8530 ft – 13,123 ft/ 2,600m – 4,000m
Bumthang has an individuality that charms its visitors and separates it from other regions. Comprising of four smaller valleys namely Tang, Ura, Choekhor and Chumey, the deeply spiritual region of Bumthang is shrouded in religious legend. Bumthang is also the traditional home to the great Buddhist teacher Pema Linga to whose descendants the present dynasty traces its origin.
In & Around Bumthang
Jambay Lhakhang : This monastery was built in the 7th century by Tibetan King, Songtsen Gampo. It is one of the 108 monasteries built by him to subdue evil spirits n the Himalayan region. Its present architectural appearance dates from the early 20th century.
Kurje Lhakhang: Situated before Jambay Lhakhang, Kurje Lhakhang consists of three temples. The one on the right was built in 1652 on the rack face where Guru meditated in the 8th century. Second temple is built on the site of a cave containing a rock with the imprint of Guru's body and is therefore considered the most holy. The third temple was built in 1990s by Ashi Kesang, the Queen Mother. These three temples are surrounded by a 108 chorten wall.
Tamshing Lhakhang: Located across the river from Kurje Lhakhang, this temple was founded in 1501 by Terton Pema Lingpa, the re-incarnation of Guru Padsambhava. The monastery has very ancient religious paintings like 1,000 Buddhas and 21 Taras (female form of Buddhistava). The temple was restored at the end of the 19th century.
Jakar Dzong: Founded by great grand-father of the first Shabdrung, the Dzong was initially built as a monastery in 1549. It was upgraded after the Shabdrung had firmly established his power in 1646. The Dzong is now used as administrative centre for Bumthang valley, and houses the regional monk body.
Konchogsum Lhakhang: It was built in the 6th century but was renovated in 1995, which accounts for its fresh look. It contained a large bell and it is said that when this bell was rung it could be heard all the way in Lhasa in Tibet. During the 17th century a Tibetan Army tried to steal this bell but was too heavy and they dropped it and cracked it. It is now displayed at the National Museum in Paro.
Chankhar Lhakhang: Beyond Jambay Lhakhang is Changkhar Lhakhang, the site of the palace of the Indian King Sindhu Raja. Because of its simplicity it looks like an ordinary village house. The original palace was built of iron and this is why it was named Chankhar, meaning iron castle. It was rebuilt in the 14th century by a Saint called- Dorji Lingpa.
Lhodrak Kharchhu Monastery: Located above the main town, about 3 km from Chamkhar town, the monastery was founded by Namkhai Nyingpo Rinpoche in 1984 who was recognized at a very young age by H.H. the 14th Dalai Lama and H.H. 16th Karmapa as the reincarnation of a Tibetan lama whose spiritual lineage dates back to the nearest disciples of the great 9th century master. Since then the monastery has developed considerably with increase in number of monks to almost four hundred. The monastery has become part of an extensive effort to preserve and revitalize Tibetan culture. The monks regular curriculum include reading, memorizing the daily prayers, learning dharma dances, drawing Mandalas, learning the melodies of sacred rituals, learning the use of ceremonial instruments and the art of making sacrificial objects, grammar, poetry along with the basics of contemplation and instruction on the different stages of tantra.
Excursions around Bumthang or Jakar valley
Tangbi Goemba: A walk of half an hour north of Kurje Lhahang leads to this monastery, founded in 1470 by Shamar Rinpoche of the Kagyupa religious school. The temple has two sanctuaries and a temple of terrifying deities. The sanctuary on the ground floor contains statues of past, present and future Buddha and three clay statues probably dating end of the 15th century. On the upper floor, the vestibule contains two remarkable paintings of Guru Rinpoche's heaven and the Buddha Amitabh's heaven.
Ngang Lhakhang: A few hours walk from the Tangbi Goemba is the small region of Ngang Yul (Swan Land) and this temple here is 100 m above the valley floor. The site was visited by Guru Rinpoche and present temple was built in the 15th century by Lama Namkha Samdup, a contemporary of Pema Lingpa. A three days festival is held here each winter with masked dances in honour of the founder of the temple.
Ura Valley: Bumthang to Ura is 48 km, about one and a half hour drive. Large sheep pastures line the road up to 20 km behind the southern tip of the Tang valley. The route crosses Ura la pass (3,600m) with a magnificent view of Mount. Gangkhar Puensum. Villages in Ura have clustered houses, which is quite unusual in Bhutan. Above Ura village (3,100m) is a new temple dedicated to Guru Rinpoche. Inaugurated in 1986, it contains a huge statue of the master and remarkable paintings of the cycle of his teachings..
Tang Valley: Terton (treasure discoverer) Pema Lingpa, the famous saint, was born in the Tang valley of Bumthang. The people of this valley raise sheep and at higher elevation, yaks as the soil in this region is not so rich for agricultural activities. From Bumthang central, it is a short drive past the Dechenpelrithang sheep farm to an unpaved road that leads to the north. Just under a kilometre ahead, there is a rough track on the left and another kilometre ahead, there is junction where vehicle can be parked. From parking, it is a short walk down to the river. The path is lined with prayer flags and ends up above a gorge where the river forms a pool before it rushes on. Images of Pema Lingpa and his two sons are carved on a rock here.
Membartsho (The Burning Lake): A five minute walk from the parking lot the road leads to a picturesque pool in the Tang-Chu(River) that is known as Mebartsho or the burning lake. Terton Pema Lingpa found several of Guru Rimpoche's Terma or Treasures from this pool.
Ugyenchholing Palace: In Tang valley is another attraction. Restored in 19th century, it is now housing the Family Museum, a place that will transport visitors to another world and time. The visitors will view permanent exhibits recreated to capture the ambience of the lifestyle of the Trongsa Penelop (Governor) Tshokey Dorji and his household. It also serves as retreat for those engaged in religious history. Bhutan's history truly unfolds here.
Tang Rimochen Lhakhang: In the valley is a sacred place of Guru Rimpoche. A rock in front of temple bears a body print of the Guru and two khandroms (female celestial being). The site is named after the tiger stripe markings on the cliff. Footprints of the Guru and his consorts Mandarava and Yeshe Chhogyal are found below the lhakhang. Two large boulders nearby are said to be male and female jachungs (garudas).
Kunzangdrak Goemba: Is two hours walk above Chel Tang Valley. It is one of the most important sites related to Pemalingpa the great treasure discoverer in Bhutan, who also constructed the Goemba in 1488. Most of his sacred relics are kept here including the gilded stone bearing his footprint.

Sony has encouraged the team at Quantic Dream to focus on putting in Move controls rather then new DLC. This may be a bit dissapointing to anyone who was more interested in learning about the character's, however, it is not to be unexpected if Sony wants to put Move controls into as many different types of games as possible. The head of Quantic dream has been quoted as saying he is very interested in implementing motion controls so this may also be of more interest to him.

Well, we made it through the 2nd round of the snowpocalypse without losing power (at least not yet…of course I'm sure as I'm writing this we will lose power due to some freak occurrence…or maybe not). I'm worried about my bee hives in the back yard…I'll need to go out there tomorrow to check to see that they're up and the upper escape is not covered with snow. I'm also not looking forward to round two of the big cleanup — maybe this time I'll be able to get my snowblower working and I won't have to shovel…and then again, maybe not.
All I can say is that I'm tired of the snow for now. A friend sent me this picture and all I can say it that it definitely sums up my feelings about snow for now:

Well the dear part would drive me craaazy. Yes master, though is not a problem.
Let's pin a big award on Lisa for having the huevo's to admit the truth.
However let's add some clarification to this little thread.
1) Women don't like nice guys.
This has to do with the complex makeup of women. Women like to mother. If
you don't give a women something to do she gets bored. Much like a keeping
working dog kept in a small apartment. Many many men have had their hearts
broken when they found out their wife/girlfriend was cheating on them. Then
when they found out with who they were shattered. "I was the best for her,
I did everything for her and look how she repaid me." Well that was the
problem bucko. You gave her everything. You should have come home, bent her
over the couch, did her then told her to get you a drink. As strange as
that sounds that is what women want. Although most aren't as honest as Lisa
and won't admit it.
2) The "bitch" factor
Now this is one I have always marveled at. Let's make a simple assumption
for the sake of argument. Bitch = Asshole. How many times do you see a
woman driving around with a licence plate that reads "Bitch on board, or
Super Bitch" or some variant? Can you imagine a guy having a licence plate
that says "Asshole on board, Super Asshole?" Of course not, YET this bitch
factor is seen as an admirable factor to the female mind.
So what does that tell us? Well it tells me that women have a certain
respect for egotistical self centered behavior. Isn't that the classical
definition of a "bitch?" So here again the "nice guy" is shit out of luck.
3) The abuse factor
An unbelievable number of women have been the victim of abuse. Whither
sexual, physical, or emotional. So they have come to expect to be treated
badly. No, I'm not saying to beat the crap out of someone, however the
point is their identity is created by a series of events and corrections.
People that have been the victim of abuse will continue to seek some form
of abuse. They can be a great corporate CEO with everything going for them
and engage in risky behavior that would bring down the whole thing. Look at
our President. So the woman that your so smitten with might react to a
"nice guy" with utter distain because she doesn't see in you what she needs
for her identity.
Most catastrophes occurr from a long series of small unrelated, yet uncontrollable failures.

I have very recently been a lot of books set in outer space, which seems like a setting that should be reserved for scifi. But it has been taking the YA section by storm recently. I mean, I can completely understand why -- I could read books set in space over and over again. There is just something about flying among the stars that gets under my skin and plays with my heart strings. Space is such an unknown/unexperienced that it really allows authors to explore their creativity -- they get to invent space laws and physics rules that allow their version of space to flourish. Speaking as one severely disappointed to not qualify as an astronaut, sign me up for some literary space travel!

Madison Beer Steps Out Amid Jack Gilinsky Drama
Madison Beer is all smiles.
The 18-year-old put on a happy face while stepping out at The Nice Guy on Saturday evening (July 8) in West Hollywood, Calif.
This is the first time we've seen Madison since audio was leaked of her ex-boyfriend Jack Gilinsky verbally abusing her.

Jack has since apologized, but his bandmate Jack Johnson released a "tell-all" video of his own to explain his friend's side of the story.
Madison followed that with another statement about women being afraid to speak up while in abusive relationships, and urging them to get out.
We are just happy to see Madison happy and healthy, and wish the same for all involved.
FYI: Madison is wearing Vans Old Skools shoes.

We love to meet and greet other dogs and, but in lieu of actually being able to meet some of our fur-friends, we decided to interview some doggies who are currently on the road.
Brady, and his parents Sarah and Nate, drove a very, very long way through Mexico and Central America. Brady is home now, with his grandparents, while his mom and dad complete their trip in South America, but he had lots of interesting things to say about his time on the road!
