Captures Photography
Captures Photography is a Canadian photography company specializing mostly in wedding photography, but also new borns, maternity, and family photography.
Obviously we want to reach people who require a photographer. We want to stand out from the crowd, so a typical design just isn't enough. We take great pictures, so we want a great website to showcase them.
We want the people who visit our site to "know" their photographer before they ever meet the photographer. The website needs to be an extension of the work.
Please see our blog for a sense of who we are, as well as to see more pictures.
The design needs to be a layered Photoshop file.
The design must fit into a content management system, so the single page you are making will be used not only for the home page but for the inside pages as well.
We don't want to put too many stipulations on the design requirements. We want you to let your immagination run wild.
Be creative!!!
We are not picky about colors.

According to a Gizmodo reader who took his iPhone to the Apple Store Genius Bar due to issues with dropped calls, a 30% failure rate in New York City is normal.
Now, we all know AT&T's network crumbles beneath the weight of the iPhone (and suspect any other single network might as well), but it's not often we get numbers to go with it.
AT&T claims to be improving their network and adding more frequency, but with a fail rate that high, New Yorkers will believe it when their calls stop dropping.

A Quick Update
I spent the day with Scottie, and it was quite nice. His conversational skills are greatly improving. The big news however, is he has been moved from the hospital to a rehab facility. There have been several complications regarding his move over the last few weeks.
About a month ago, we thought we had him placed in a perfect facility, but several things happened to make the move not go through at the time. As it turns out, it may have been for the best. He is much more receptive to therapy at this point, and the place he is now in is only a few blocks from his old apartment. We moved him Friday. There was a mix up with the hospital and they were going to move him alone earlier in the week. We were able to push it back to Friday, so he would have family there during the move. He seems very, very happy to be in this new place, and it will be much easier for his kids to come and see him now.
I'm getting ready to drive back up there in a few minutes, but I thought I'd let you know.
So yeah, I have things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Yes, I am thankful for all of you as well.

Before we start, we first list what hardware requirements you need to successfully install Gentoo on your box. This of course depends on your architecture.
Check the following requirements before you continue with the Gentoo installation:
Still interested in trying out Gentoo? Well, then it is now time to choose the installation medium you want to use. Yes, you have the choice, no, they are not all equal, and yes, the result is always the same: a Gentoo base system.
The installation media we will describe are:
Every single media has its advantages and disadvantages. We will list the pros and cons of every medium so you have all the information to make a justified decision. But before we continue, let's explain our three-stage installation.
Gentoo Linux can be installed using one of three
Now what stage do you have to choose?
Starting from a

|Pros and Cons
Write down (or remember) what stage you want to use. You need this later when you decide what LiveCD (or other installation medium) you want to use. You might be interested to know that, if you decide to use different optimization settings after having installed Gentoo, you will be able to recompile your entire system with the new optimization settings.
Now take a look at the available installation media.
All LiveCDs allow you to boot, setup networking, initialize your partitions and start installing Gentoo from the Internet. However, some LiveCDs also contain all necessary source code so you are able to install Gentoo without a working network configuration.
Now what do these LiveCDs contain?
This is a small, no-nonsense, bootable CD which sole purpose is to boot the
system, prepare the networking and continue with the Gentoo installation. It
does not contain any stages (or, in some cases, a single stage1 file),
source code or precompiled packages. For example the ppc variant of this
LiveCD can be found in the
|Minimal LiveCD

Gentoo's Universal LiveCD is a bootable CD suitable to install Gentoo without
networking. It contains a stage1 and several stage3 tarballs (optimized for the
individual subarchitectures). For example the ppc variant of this CD is called

You only need the Packages CD if you want to perform a stage3 with GRP installation.
|Universal LiveCD with Packages CD
|Pros and Cons
You have chosen to use a Gentoo LiveCD (if not, then you are reading the wrong section). We'll first start by downloading and burning the chosen LiveCD. We previously discussed the several available LiveCDs, but where can you find them?
Visit one of our
In case you wonder if your downloaded file is corrupted or not, you can
check its MD5 checksum and compare it with the MD5 checksum we provide (such as
Another way to check the validity of the downloaded file is to use GnuPG to
verify the cryptographic signature that we provide (the file ending with
$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 19462D47
Now verify the signature:
$ gpg --verify <signature file> <downloaded iso>

To burn the downloaded ISO(s), you have to select raw-burning. How you
do this is highly program-dependent. We will discuss
Place the LiveCD in the CD-ROM and reboot the system. Hold down the 'C' key at
bootup (or run an OldWorld bootloader like BootX or quik). You will be greeted
by a friendly welcome message and a
At this prompt you are able to select a kernel for the subarchitecture you use.
We provide
You are also able to tweak some kernel options at this prompt. The following table lists the available boot options you can add:

You will be greeted by a root ("#") prompt on the current console. You can also switch to other consoles by pressing Alt-fn-F2, Alt-fn-F3 and Alt-fn-F4. Get back to the one you started on by pressing Alt-fn-F1.
If you are installing Gentoo on a system with a non-US keyboard, use
(PPC uses x86 keymaps on most systems. The mac/ppc keymaps provided on the LiveCD are ADB keymaps and unusable with the LiveCD kernel)# ls /usr/share/keymaps/i386
Now load the keymap of your choice:
# loadkeys be-latin1
Now continue with
When the Live CD boots, it tries to detect all your hardware devices and loads the appropriate kernel modules to support your hardware. In the vast majority of cases, it does a very good job. However, in some cases (the SPARC LiveCDs don't even do autodetection), it may not auto-load the kernel modules you need. If the PCI auto-detection missed some of your system's hardware, you will have to load the appropriate kernel modules manually.
In the next example we try to load the
# modprobe 8139too
If you are an advanced user, you might want to tweak the IDE hard disk
performance using
# hdparm -tT /dev/hda
To tweak, you can use any of the following examples (or experiment
yourself) which use
Activate DMA:# hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda Activate DMA + Safe Performance-enhancing Options:# hdparm -d 1 -A 1 -m 16 -u 1 -a 64 /dev/hda

To change the root password, use the
# passwd New password:
(Enter your new password)Re-enter password: (Re-enter your password)
To create a user account, we first enter their credentials, followed by
its password. We use
# useradd john # passwd john New password:
(Enter john's password)Re-enter password: (Re-enter john's password)
You can change your user id from root to the newly created user by using
# su john -
If you want to allow other users to access your computer during the
Gentoo installation (perhaps because those users are going to help you
install Gentoo, or even do it for you), you need to create a user
account for them and perhaps even provide them with your root password
To fire up the SSH daemon, execute the following command:
# /etc/init.d/sshd start
To be able to use sshd, you first need to setup your networking. Continue with

DUBAI (Reuters) - Arab triathlon champion Roy Nasr was killed when he was hit by a car while cycling in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai, local newspapers reported on Saturday. He was 49 years old.
Lebanese national Nasr, who won third place in the ITU World Championship in Beijing in 2011, died on impact when a vehicle struck him as he was training with two friends on Friday morning. One friend was also hit and injured.
The National newspaper said hundreds of tribute messages had been posted on the Facebook page of the TriDubai club he co-founded.
Triathlons are three-stage running, cycling and swimming races. In his last interview before the accident, the National quoted Nasr as saying the triathlon was his favorite sporting event because "you tend to get out of it exactly what you put into it".

Sioux Falls Skyforce Get Second Call-Up Of Season
The bare bones assessment is this: the Sioux Falls Skyforce got two games out of an NBA player and two wins while he was in the lineup. Donald Sloan was parlayed to Sioux Falls in the NBA Development League as part of a three-team agreement. Sloan promptly earned a GATORADE call-up to the NBA by New Orleans 13 days after being let go by Cleveland. No wonder they didn't stitch his name on the back of the jersey.
This wasn't the worst of all results for doing the deal. You start with the fact that Sloan hit the shot with under a minute left to push a one point lead to three on Friday in Reno then stroke it for 22 points and 10 rebounds the next night in Los Angeles will get you noticed. Losing both games, with Sloan getting called up then getting blitzed by the player (Andrew Goudelock) you traded the following weekend would classify as the worst. Plus look at the current standings and how tight they are. Two road wins could pay huge dividends down the pike.
Nonetheless, the Skyforce head into the NBA Development League Showcase a little thin at guard. Backup point guard Chris Davis was held out of the game on Saturday with a sore ankle and former NBA guard Troy Hudson has been inactive with foot problems. It will put more responsibility on the other new acquisition Mychel Thompson and possibly Demetris Nichols to handle the rock a little more for the Monday tussle against Bakersfield.
Amongst the bigs, the exodus of Arnett Moultrie will alter things a bit as he is called back to the Philadelphia 76ers. The other chip in play involves the possible return of Jarvis Varnado. He was released by Boston and could rejoin the Skyforce on Wednesday. The tea leaves turned against Varnado with a deadline of a guaranteed NBA contract looming this week. Once the Celtics recalled Fab Melo from Maine regardless of the state of Melo's head Varnado was soon to be balling somewhere else. There is currently room on the Skyforce roster for a shot-blocking machine now that Sloan is gone if no one claims Varnado. Look for the Skyforce to make some more moves to shore up the team during and after the D-League Showcase. Already the player movement between the leagues is unprecedented so the ride is wild only 16 games into the schedule. Make sure you keep up with all happenings from the Showcase with Jeff Thurn and Overtime live 4-7 Central Time from Reno on ESPN 99.1.

Stars' "World First"
After reading the post I had a lot of thoughts right away, but after reading some of the comments on the post I felt the need to address the idiocy that followed.
World First (*):
I haven't seen any indications that they did anything to exploit the actual fight. So yes, by most definitions this is a world first, but that doesn't mean it's significant. Finishing first in a race when you are the only one running isn't all that impressive. I am sure that Heroic Shannox is a difficult fight, but I am also sure that we will see several heroic mode kills next week when many more guilds have access to them. At the very least this is a kill with an asterisk, and no one is saying "awe shucks, Stars beat us to that one."
I also question how much do early heroic kills really matter? I am by no means saying that the early heroic modes are easy, but no one is measuring the T11 progression race by who got the first kill on Halfus. In fact, I bet that a lot of you couldn't tell me who got the first Heroic Halfus kill without looking at WoW Progress or guessing one of the five obvious names and getting lucky. At the same time, I think that a lot more of you would be able to tell me who got the world first Sinestra kill without looking or guessing. The fact of the matter is that the progression race isn't measured by how you start, but by how you finish. So, even if this kill of Shannox wasn't controversial, it still probably wouldn't be all that important in the long run because this tier is going to be measure by who kills Ragnaros first.
However, while I don't think a lot of the elite guilds are all that upset about being beaten to a world first Shannox kill, I guarantee you that they are upset that Stars has gotten access to heroic gear a week earlier then everyone else. It's true that player skill is more important than gear in general, but at these elite levels of play the differences in skill are very small, so little advantages like having slightly better gear could have a significant impact on who gets that world first Ragnaros kill.
After considering all of this, I don't understand why Stars would change factions to get a new raid ID. The best case scenario is that Blizzard takes no action against them, and they get to keep the gear they gained as a result. However, the primary reward for winning the progression race is respect, but by winning the race this way they would ultimately lose the respect of their peers. Worst case scenario, is that Blizzard bans them for some period of time and takes away their gear and achievements. If this is the case then they are out the money they spent to transfer and possibly lose a raid week depending on how long the ban is for. To me it looks like they had very little to gain, but a lot to lose.
Exploit vs "Clever Use of Game Mechanics"
In my opinion, this will probably go down as an exploit. Some people are arguing that this isn't an exploit because Stars was just using the processes that Blizzard put in place. However, I have a hard time seeing how this would fall under the "Clever use of Game Mechanics" category.
It's important to note that "Clever use of Game Mechanics" doesn't mean that if it's possible it's allowed. There are a plenty of examples of players being banned for things that were possible. The most prominent example is Ensidia being banned for their World First kill of Normal Lich King, when they used Saronite Bombs to cause the platform to reform and trivialize phase 2 of the encounter. So, how is this different then Paragon stacking their raid with 13 feral druids to kill heroic Nafarian?
In my opinion, "Clever use of Game Mechanics" is best defined as using game, class, and encounter mechanics in an intended way, but producing unintended results. The Ensidia LK example violates this definition because the outer platforms were not intended to reform during that phase, and the Saronite bombs caused the encounter to behave in an unintended way.
The Paragon/Nefarian example is different, because all of the mechanics were used as intended. The Stolen Power buff is intended to increase the player's damage output. Players are expected to use this increased damage to complete the encounter. Feral Druids are expected to use Rip as a part of their DPS rotation. Rip is intended to be a very efficient ability that does a lot of damage over an extended period of time, and the damage Rip did with the Stolen Power buff was mathematically and mechanically consistent with how Rip interacts with other buffs and debuffs. They used game mechanics as intended which when combined produced unintended results. What's interesting is that Stars did something very similar to this where their world first Yogg +0 kill by stacking Warlocks
Finally, while we can debate the line between exploit and "Clever use of Game Mechanics," history gives us a good example of how Blizzard will likely view Stars' actions. Back in ToC Ensidia, transferred servers mid lockout to reset their ID and get an additional 50 attempts. I don't think Ensidia got punished in that situation, but Blizzard did take steps to prevent it from happening again in the future. That sent a clear message to all guilds that Blizzard doesn't view this type of action acceptable. Don't be surprised if Blizzard reacts more harshly this time to discourage this activity from happening again in the future.
Crazy Theories and Rationalizations:
These are just suggestions that I wanted to address that didn't really fit somewhere above.
Greedy Blizzard: One of the crazier suggestions in the MMO thread is that Blizzard allowed this to happen because they are greedy and want the faction transfer fees. Lets do some quick math.
It costs 30 dollars to change factions and lets assume that Stars transferred 30 players and plan to change back to their original faction next week. That means it would cost Stars $1,800 to faction change their entire raid team twice. Now lets assume that the top 100 25man guilds would do the same thing to complete for world firsts, and that there are three major content patches a year. In this scenario Blizzard would earn an extra 540k dollars a year in revenue. On it's own that sounds like a lot, but lets think about it another way.
World of Warcraft has over 11 million accounts. Each of those accounts pay a monthly fee of at least 13 dollars. This means that over a year Blizzard has over 1.7 billion dollars in revenue a year in subscription fees alone. I know that every little bit counts, but do you think Blizzard is going to risk taking bad press and a negative player reaction for just 540k dollars? If you do, your crazy.
Time Zone Disadvantage: Another common response is that the US and European guilds have had a day or two advantage due to the servers they play on. Therefore this is just turnabout is fair play that the Taiwanese get an advantage for once.
It's very true that in the short term US guild definitely have an advantage in these early kills, but how does that justify breaking the rules? As I said above these short term milestones aren't all that significant. The really significant world firsts generally take at least a month to complete, and in that time frame that extra day or two isn't all that significant.
The time zone situation is what it is and has been this way for years. Claiming that this is just turnabout is fair play is a little like an embezzler claiming that what they were doing is ok because they've been underpaid for years. In the end this argument is just an attempt to rationalize their actions that were clearly against the spirit of the rules if not a blatant violation of the rules.

I think the one thing everyone's not considering is that maybe they just wanted to play some more.
They'd already cleared the content on Normal ... and expecting it to take longer than it did, they faction-swapped to play some more this week.
Glass half-full. :)

The 11millon players includes Far East. These players pay under a different model, and most pay far less than 13 dollars a month.

That is a very optimistic view of the situation, but not likely.
If it is the case that they just wanted to play more they could have easily used alts. While I don't know for sure if this is the case with Stars, these elite raiders are notorious for having multiple raiding capable toons. This is because they clear content very quickly and do additional raids with other toons. So they likely didn't need to pay for a faction change just to play more.
The only reason to faction change was to reset the raid ID, and the only reason to reset the raid id was to work on the hard modes.

I don't know all the pay models, but I guarentee you blizzard still makes over a billion a year from subscription fees and such. My point was that 540k is really a drop in the bucket when looked at from the bigger picture, and blizzard isn't going to risk the bigger picture for just 540k.

Is this something I think is against the rules, bannable, exploit, etc? No. Is it a douchebag move? Absolutely.
There are no laws against being a dickwad, but this isn't something I would do, or would I be proud to be in a guild that did it. I'd be embarrassed if LoE did something like this, and might even gquit out of shame.
The question Stars has to ask themselves, is this REALLY that satisfying of a kill?
They also now run the risk of ridicule if other guilds pass them in progression next week.
- July 1, 2011 at 3:01 PM
Graylo, I really enjoy your blog, and I know you admit to not being the best with grammar (its and it's, you're and your), but even my butcher knows the difference between cleaver and clever ;)
I agree with your sentiment. It seems pointless for Stars to do what they did. Who is it going to impress? Even if they finish T12 as world first on every fight, anyone who knows enough to care about their achievement will always put an asterisk next to it.
- July 1, 2011 at 3:20 PM
- Graylo said...
Yes, there are no laws against being a dickwad, and I'm not advocating that they should be banned.
However, we are not talking about the legal system here. This is Blizzard and they have banned people for less. So it seems silly to me to risk a ban for a short term gain that will likely cause more ridicule then progression.
If I was Blizzard, I would roll back their achievement and take away the gear they got for the kill, but wouldn't ban them.
Thanks. Spellcheckers can't catch everything. It's vs Its and your vs you're are there just because I'm lazy.

It's an interesting case, as you raise yourself, would you consider a faction change a type of mechanic, i.e. is that service part of the game as a whole and thus fair play?
Also I've seen it SO many times, this perception that game code = law and moral leeway. What the code allows is understood as a design intention, although as we all know, code is highly liable to bugs and glitches, something which constantly needs fixing.
This way of looking at it also completely ignores the community layer of the game, which as you also point out, is not likely to just condone a world first just because it CAN be done (at any cost).
It's an excellent example of pure powergaming though.
- July 1, 2011 at 8:36 PM
They closed down heroics until next week for everyone. I think they did this because they didn't expect so many guilds to kill Rag already. I mean how many killed him so far this week? Heroics are supposed to be a step up but I bet the top guilds will clear it next week.
Then what... wait 5-6 more months for 4.3 to come out? They will lose too many subscriptions if they did that.
I think they are making some key changes to heroics as I type this in order for no one to clear heroics at least until they put in a patch saying they are making it easier.
- July 1, 2011 at 9:55 PM
As I see it, the common sense understanding of raids is that you get one a week per toon. Using faction transfers to raid on the same toon extra times? You have to know that's not the way things were intended.
Punishment? Not a ban or anything, bliz ought to just tweak the raid ID stuff, then manually extend the ID of every toon in Stars who did this by a week for each extra kill.

First off, it's hard to think of faction transfers as a game mechanic because it doesn't happen in game. This isn't a case of going and talking to a goblin in booty bay and changing your faction. This is a service that Blizzard offers players out side of the normal game.
Second, even if you concider faction transfers a game mechanic they still didn't use in the intended way. The intent of the faction transfer service isn't to reset raid ids, and that was the entire reason they faction transfered. Therefore, it wouldn't fall under the Clever use of game mechanics clause in my opinion.
- July 2, 2011 at 8:04 PM
Since there's a game called "wow ptr", there isn't any "legit" first kills. I mean, all this top guilds spend more time playing on ptr then in live servers, and that doesnt make any sense. And even if all people start from the same line, the diference between kills would be by minutes. So how someone can be proud...if they killed the boss 10 minutes faster (for example). When this guilds move from ptr too live servers, they get 1 shot on normal mode..."same" as heroic. So remove ptr and there would be more credit for 1st kills.

They are a top guild and they obviously know the implications of an extra week and faster access to heroic gear.
A dick move and very stupid as well. It's obvious that their heroic kill not be recognised by the community. In addition, if they managed a world first on ragnaros heroic, their kill would be tainted by their cheating. If they failed to do it, then the community will say that they cheated but lost. Lose-lose either way.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (AP) — A judge has set a $500,000 bond for a professor whose research focuses on Internet censorship and the use of children in advertising who's charged with having child pornography on his Central Michigan University computer.
William L. Merrill was arraigned Tuesday in Isabella County court and returned to jail. Judge William Rush holds a hearing Thursday to set future court dates.
The court says Merrill didn't have a lawyer on record and no plea was entered.
The school last week suspended Merrill and barred him from the campus in Mount Pleasant, about 120 miles northwest of Detroit. It says he resigned Monday.
Prosecutors have charged Merrill with distributing child pornography, possessing child pornography, and using a computer to commit a crime. He also is charged with possessing a switchblade.

What's Amazon Hiding Inside This Giant Orange Locker?
Amazon.com has constructed a larger version of its delivery lockers in a downtown San Francisco plaza. What it's storing inside is a mystery.
It's a big box. Big enough to fit a car, which may be the point.
Amazon is holding a promotional event there beginning Friday during which customers will be filmed using the locker, according to a person familiar with the matter. Later, Amazon will send out codes to some customers which they can use to open the locker and claim prizes.

Old Man Emu V8 Toyota 4Runner Lift KitPosted in How To: Suspension Brakes on July 1, 2012
In 2003 Toyota offered its 4Runner with a 4.7L V-8, and when we tested it in our 4x4 of the Year it was trumped by only one contestant, the Lexus with the same engine. Eventually Toyota dropped the V-8 from the 4Runner and returned to the potent 4.0L V-6, but there is something about having a V-8 in your small sport/ute that really gets us going. The Jeep Grand Cherokee is a great example, as is the Dodge Durango.
But we digress. The reason for this diatribe is that these V-8 'Runners are dropping in price as they emerge on the used car market. So why not turn one into a wheeling machine with 320 lb-ft under the hood?
Going hog wild on a project truck is fun, but even a 9-year-old 4x4 is still pretty new for a lot of us, so we're taking it easy with a small Old Man Emu lift to start. Squeezing on taller tires is the plan of course and eventually bumpers, lockers, winch, cage, big lights, race fuel cell, window nets, and high-speed glory across the desert! OK, we're dreaming, so for now we'll show you how to make your fast, capable 4Runner fit bigger rubber in your own garage. We did the installation with basic handtools in a day.
Rubber & Rims
Tire clearance for our new 285/70R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers required some slight trimming of the front lower inner fender well liner and removal or trimming of the front mud flaps. The Nittos are wrapped around 17-inch American Racing ATX AX-185 Crawl wheels. The wheels are available in 17, 18, and 20-inch sizes and easily clear the 4Runner's brake calipers, a problem with some other aftermarket wheels. These cast wheels and aggressive tires offer a smooth quiet ride and make the 4Runner look a million times better. We hope to run the truck through some trails soon to see if it works off road as well as it looks.

The Dodge Magnum offers a modern spin on the classic family station wagon. Produced by Chrysler between 2005 and 2008, the four-door Magnum blends traditional wagon elements such as a low stance and elongated body with 21st-Century updates such as sporty wheels and a tapered roofline.
The Dodge Magnum comes in four trim levels, each featuring a different engine and selection of standard and optional equipment. Engines include a 2.7-liter V-6, a 3.5-liter V-6, a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, and a 6.1-liter Hemi V-8. All Magnum models feature a standard rear-drive system.
With two seating rows that hold up to five people, the Dodge Magnum doesn't quite offer the seating capacity of its ancestors. However, its spacious interior and large cargo area provide more storage capacity and breathing room than the traditional family sedan.
The Dodge Magnum is best known for its distinctive appearance, though it also boasts high-power engine options and a spacious interior.
The Magnum remains one of few modern U.S.-made wagons. Rival models include the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG wagon, Audi A4 Avant, and Subaru Legacy GT. Compared to the Mercedes and Audi, the Magnum offers a significant cost advantage.
The R/T trim's 340-horsepower V-8 engine and the SRT8's 425-horsepower V-8 provide drivers with ample power and quick acceleration. The Magnum's long wheelbase and standard rear-drive system allow for relatively tight handling and a smooth ride. The R/T and SRT8 also offer a stiffened suspension.
The Magnum's 120-inch wheelbase helps increase interior space as well. The cargo area behind the second row provides 27.8 cubic feet of storage with seats in place and 72 cubic feet when the 60/40-split rear seat is folded. A rear liftgate opens upward rather than outward to allow for easier loading.
Chrysler retired the Dodge Magnum after the 2008 model year. The 2008 model comes in four trim levels: the SE, SXT, R/T, and SRT8. Each trim contains a unique engine. The SE comes equipped with a 2.7-liter V-6, the SXT with a 3.5-liter V-6, the R/T with a 5.7-liter V-8, and the SRT8 with a 6.1-liter V-8. The base V-6 matches with a four-speed automatic transmission, while the 3.5-liter V-6 and both V-8 engines pair with a five-speed automatic transmission.
After three years on the market, the Magnum was revised for 2008 with a new front fascia, grille, and hood. For the first time, HID headlamps came standard on R/T and SRT8 models. A working hood scoop was added to the SRT8 trim.
Standard equipment on the base Magnum SE includes the 2.7-liter, 178-hp V-6 engine, 17-inch steel wheels, all-season tires, cloth seats, powered accessories, a telescoping steering wheel, air-conditioning, a split-folding rear seatback, a folding center armrest with storage, and a four-speaker sound system with CD player and MP3 playback.
Upgrading to the midlevel Magnum SXT trim offers an engine boost to 250 horsepower and adds 17-inch alloy wheels, a power-adjustable driver's seat, satellite radio, and an optional all-wheel-drive system. The R/T comes with a 340-horsepower V-8, a firmer suspension, 18-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, a leather-trimmed shift knob, heated front seats, adjustable pedals, and a premium six-speaker sound system. The high-performance SRT8 adds the line's most powerful engine - a V-8 producing 425 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque, along with 20-inch alloy wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, modified steering, Brembo brakes, leather and suede seats, unique interior and exterior details, and a power-adjustable front-passenger seat.
Stand-alone options available for various trims include a sunroof, a rear-seat DVD player, an HD-based navigation system, Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio, automatic climate control, power-adjustable pedals, roof rails, and xenon headlights. An R/T Performance Group package offers a sport-tuned suspension and steering system, 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, and a modified performance exhaust system that provides an additional 10 horsepower.
The 2008 Dodge Magnum measures 197.7 inches long and has a wheelbase of 120 inches. Inside the vehicle, front passengers have 38.7 inches of headroom, 41.8 inches of legroom, and 56.2 inches of hip room, while rear passengers have 38.1 inches of headroom, 40.2 inches of legroom, and 55.5 inches of hip room.
The Magnum comes in nine standard exterior colors and an available special monotone paint. Two interior colors are offered.
The Dodge Magnum rear-drive station wagon debuted in 2005 with three trim levels: a base SE featuring a 2.7-liter V-6, a midlevel SXT powered by a 3.5-liter V-6, and an R/T equipped with a 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 producing 340 horsepower.
In late 2006, Chrysler's Dodge team added an even more powerful engine option. The new SRT8 boasts a 6.1-liter V-8 cranking out 425 horsepower. Other additions for 2006 include standard fog lights on the SXT and an available rear-seat entertainment system for the SXT and R/T. The SXT trim's four-speed automatic transmission was increased to a five-speed.
In 2007, Chrysler added an R/T Performance Group package offering engine and suspension enhancements, chrome-clad wheels, and performance tires.

State police are investigating a suspected vandalism spree early this morning during which three separate fires burned a car and bales of hay in northern Butler County.
The fires in Worth and Slippery Rock townships happened just several minutes and several miles apart, authorities said.
"These were intentionally-set fires," said Ron Steele, captain of the Slippery Rock Volunteer Fire Company, "and we believe they're all connected."
Firefighters from three departments helped put out the blazes. No one was injured.
A passing motorist reported the first fire — a burning car — about 1:45 a.m. in the 800 block of West Park Road.
The vehicle, which was in the owner's yard, was being advertised for sale.
While putting out the flames, firefighters got a call for another fire just a half mile down the same road.
A passer-by at 1:58 a.m. reported seeing round bales of hay burning on the side of the road in the 1000 block of West Park Road in Worth Township.
Steele said the fire destroyed the six hay bales, causing about $600 in damage.
As firefighters were extinguishing that fire, they got a call at 2:07 a.m. of a third blaze, this one on Forrester Road, about 7 miles north in neighboring Slippery Rock Township.
That fire, Steele said, turned out to be caused when someone set fire to two more round hay bales. Damage also was estimated at $600.
Trooper Luke Nelson of the state police fire marshal's office said that police are investigating the fires to the hay bales as acts of criminal mischief.
The car fire, if proved it was deliberately set, would be investigated as an arson.

Visual search company Superfish is building a demonstration website focused on helping users find jewelry products. We need your graphic design skills to build two page types.
Still to be finalized but assume for now it will be something like "JewelryFinder.com, Powered by Superfish"
Superfishhas developed a very robust visual similarity engine that allows a user tochoose or select an image and then be presented with visually identical orsimilar images. We will be developing a demonstration website focused onthousands of jewelry products from hundreds of sellers. This is where we needyour help.
Forsome context and inspiration, here are a few websites out there that use somevisual search technology:
· www.like.com
· www.modista.com
· www.picitup.com
· www.gazopa.com
· www.pixsta.com
· www.incogna.com
We need two pages built: a homepage and search result page. The home page should include a text search box anda way to navigate to one of the following categories:
- Rings
- Pendants
- Earrings
- Necklaces
- Bracelets
- Men's Watches
- Women'sWatches
Remember,this is a visual search experience so the use of images and graphics isobviously important. It's also a jewelry search site, so it should somehowconvey trustworthiness, elegance, beauty, and value.
Fromthe home page, the user is taken to a search result page. This is the secondpage for which we need a design. This page should include the followingelements:
- Textsearch box
- Apricing filter where a user can limit the price range of the products they see
- Abreadcrumb navigation element
- Asearch count (e.g. "you are seeing 1-20 of 500")
- Images(and potentially prices) of the products. These images can be displayed in amatrix or in a scattered layout. That's up to you and your creativity.
- Arecently viewed tray (see http://www.pixsta.com asan example)
- Aproduct detail area for a selected product. This can appear as a call-outwindow on mouse-over (see http://www.shopstyle.comas an example) or on the side of the page (see http://www.modista.comfor example). This product detail area should include a larger image of theproduct, product name and description, price, and a button to the merchantselling the item
Havefun and I look forward to some really creative approaches. Please email me withquestions to help clarify this task.
I'm looking for designs for the two pages described above.Feel free to send more than one version or approach to the pages.
I particularly care about the display functionality of theuser interface. Therefore, if the mock-up is just a flat layout, I will needsome accompanying narrative to describe how the functionality would work. Forexample, "Products are displayed here. User can mouse over the image, resultingin the following display. If they click on this button, they are taken to thispage…"
Ideally,the design and UI should be so intuitive, powerful, and "cool" that users willeagerly tell all their friends about it!
Designs and approaches that look just like the visual
search websites that are already out there.

I've been very happy about the fact that this year there are several Academy Award-nominated films featuring women who, when faced with adversity, take a never-say-die attitude and give their all.
Not all of them are spies, or assassins. In fact, only one can be considered a government-sanction espionage operative, with a license to kill (okay, to waterboard). But that's the beauty of the kiss-ass heroine: she doesn't have to be trained to go the extra mile, Guts are part of her DNA.
If you haven't seen these three movies, I strongly recommend them. You'll learn something new; not just about the history in which these incidents took place, but about human nature during the worst of times.
Here' are three movie heroines who have earned my my respect, and why:
Role: Mary Todd Lincoln
Movie: Lincoln
Actress: Sally Field
(Oscar-nominated for this role)
In Lincoln, the first lady of our great country, circa 1864, must be a pillar of strength for her husband, the president, despite the death of a one of her three sons, her trepidation over the enlistment into the army of another, and the political machinations taking place to ensure the passing of the 13th Amendment.
Best Moment: Really, there are two. In one, Sally Field's Mary Lincoln makes it clear to her husband that should he push for the 13th Admendment, he better do so prior to the official end of the Civil War, since the odds of it passing with Southerners back in Congress will never happen. When he tells her he has his Secretary of State, William Seward, is doing all he can,Mother Tiger Mary retorts, "Seward can't do it; you must. Because if you fail to acquire the necessary votes, woe unto you, sir. You will answer to me."
In another, while welcoming him to a reception, Mary takes on Tommy Lee Jones' Thaddeus Stevens (R.PA) to task for a snarky remark about the elegance of the White House by reminding him that the White House had mold hanging from the ceiling when she moved in.
Best Quote:(Mary to Abe): "You think I'm ignorant of what you're up to because you haven't discussed this scheme with me as you ought to have done? When have I ever been so easily bamboozled? I believe you when you insist that amending the Constitution and abolishing slavery will end this war. And since you're sending my son into the war, woe to you if you fail to pass the amendment."

Role: Maya
Movie: Zero Dark Thirty
Actress Jessica Chastain
(Oscar-nominated for this role)
Recruited right out of high school into the CIA, Maya (no last name) is sent to Pakistan and put on the team assigned to finding Osama bin Laden. It becomes the driving force of her life. And yes, she succeeds.
Best Moments: The first takes place at CIA Headquarters, when attending her first formal meeting with CIA Director Leon Panetta, when he's being briefed on the theory that Osama bin Laden is hiding in a suburban neighborhood in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He dismisses her as "the girl" in the room (she is the only female), but when he asks, who was the m*th*rf*ck*r who came up with the theory, she pipes up: "I'm the m*th*rf*ck*r who found this place, sir!"
In another scene, while everyone else hedges their bets as 40-60 percent that Osama bin Laden is indeed inside the compound, Maya is emphatic that "It's 100 percent. I know certainty freaks you guys out, but it's 100."
Best Quote (Maya, to a group of smart-ass Navy Seal Team 6 members): " Quite frankly, I didn't even want to use you guys, with your dip and velcro and all your gear bullshit. I wanted to drop a bomb. But people didn't believe in this lead enough to drop a bomb. So they're using you guys as canaries. And, in theory, if bin Laden isn't there, you can sneak away and no one will be the wiser. But bin Laden is there. And you're going to kill him for me."

Role: Hushpuppy
Movie: Beasts of the Southern Wild
Actress: Quvenzhane Wallis
(Oscar-nominated for this role)
A series of tragedies–including a dying father, a devastating fire, and a broken levee that wipes out "the Bathtub", the bayou where she lives–leaves a six-year-old homeless, and in search of the mother she never knew.
Best Moment: After listening to her father's last breath leave his body, Hushpuppy sets his funeral pyre adrift in the Mississippi Delta, as he requested.
Best Quote: "When it all goes quiet behind my eyes, I see everything that made me lying around in invisible pieces. When I look too hard, it goes away. And when it all goes quiet, I see they are right here. I see that I'm a little piece in a big, big universe. And that makes things right. When I die, the scientists of the future, they're gonna find it all. They gonna know, once there was a Hushpuppy, and she live with her daddy in the Bathtub."

"The Burden of Being a Kage" (影を背負う, Kage o Seou, Viz: Burden of a Kage) is chapter 588 of the original Naruto manga.
As Kabuto remains incapacitated by Izanami, Sasuke questions whether undoing the Impure World Reincarnation would not mean Itachi would disappear as well. Declaring that he no longer had any attachment to the world of the living, Itachi notes that he was proud to be able to protect Konohagakure once more. Enraged to hear Itachi's motives, Sasuke states that while he could forgive his brother, he could never forgive the village for what they had done. This leads Itachi to tell his little brother that he won't be the one to change him and that he was doing this to aid Naruto Uzumaki — whom he had entrusted that task to. Itachi then proceeds to raise the brille over Kabuto's eyes and uses genjutsu to order Kabuto to teach him the hand seals needed to stop the Impure World Reincarnation. Meanwhile, the five Kage struggle to hold their own against Madara's twenty-five Susanoo-clad wood clones. Amidst all the struggles, Ōnoki rallies them to fight on having been entrusted with a great task at which they could not fail. Madara notes that he needed to break Ōnoki's will as it was the most troublesome of all. Rallying to each other's side, Tsunade transfers chakra to Ōnoki who uses a large-scale Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique which succeeds in obliterating the twenty-five clones and part of the real Madara, in one fell swoop. Splitting the cube down the middle, Mei unleashes a Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique which A charges with lightning. This makes contact with Madara effectively slowing down his response time. As Madara prepares to counter, it is revealed that sand was also concealed in the dragon which Gaara uses to bind Madara's movements further in order to create an opening for Ōnoki to use another Dust Release thus giving time to seal him during the regeneration process. After they declared that this was the power of the five Kage, Madara compliments them stating that he would respond with his full power as well. He then unleashes the complete version of his Susanoo stating that it would help them realise just how futile their efforts have been, regardless of being Kage.

- Commentary
By Cody Willard
One of the trickiest parts of being a successful investor is keeping perspective on time horizons and expectations for the long- vs. short-term. What's your goal as an investor or a trader? It's always that you want to maximize your long-term upside while limiting your risk over that time frame.
Whether you're a buy-and-hold investor or a swing trader or a day trader, your goal is to grow your capital over time in the safest manner possible.
And we often get lost in the short-term, as we can't figure out why the market is paying "only 6x earnings for this year's projected Apple /quotes/zigman/68270 /quotes/nls/aapl AAPL earnings." Shouldn't the market be paying more like 10x earnings or even 15x earnings for a company with this kind of growth profile? How about Google /quotes/zigman/93888 /quotes/nls/goog GOOG , why is it up so much recently after having lagged its Apple brother for the last few years?
Take a look at this clip from back when I was in the first part of my career as a TV anchorman, back in on June 11, 2008 –
Fox Happy Hour Cody's Big 3: Bear, Illuminati, iPhone
I hit on a three topics there that you guys have read from me many times.
First, I called out the permabears and the fact that they were capitulating just at what I thought was the very market top as the crises they (had always and still do) predicted were actually about to hit the markets and economy. We have to be flexible in our analysis and our positioning. You can't just always be a bull or always be a bear and you can't just always be net long or net short. You've got to be willing to change your mind when your analysis dictates.
Second, I called out the Treasury Secretary and Federal Reserve Chairman who were saying that the banks were fine while at the time the banks were actually truly insolvent and entering a huge crisis that would entirely derail the US economy and stock markets. The banks and their shareholders and bondholders should have been entirely wiped out in a lawful society as only depositors should have been protected with taxpayer money and not people who's money was risked as investors. But instead bank profits as a percentage of GDP are at even higher levels than they were as the present Treasury Secretary and same ol' Fed Head continue to allow for false accounting, endless bailouts and looting at the biggest banks who are still supposedly "too big too fail".
Third, you see me tell everybody that the smartphone revolution is hitting and that the easiest and smartest and best ways to invest in that smartphone revolution would be to simply buy AAPL and GOOG.
Apple was at $170 or so at the time. Google was at $500. Apple's is, even though it's down big from its highest levels last year, still up nearly 150% since then. Google's up more than 50%.
But recall that Apple's and Google's stock prices both pulled back hugely and repeatedly and/or went sideways for many months at a time in the years since then. If you'd bought the big panicky pullbacks and sold the big euphoric spikes along the way, you'd have complemented your gains today.
The entire mega-cap banking and brokerage industry also crashed, but while Apple and Google have grown their businesses and their stocks have risen big-time since the above clip was originally broadcast back in June 2008, the bank stocks are still down big from the levels back then. The big bank ETF, XLF, is still down more than 30% from the June 2008 levels.
Apple and Google, while their stocks crashed too, were never at risk at going bankrupt and wiping out their shareholders. And their stocks, as noted above, are up big-time from their levels back then. Which means they gave us more upside with less risk than buying the broader markets and especially the financial sector itself. Amazon and Qualcomm are two other obvious winners from the same smartphone/tablet revolution that I'm still investing and trading in.
That's why you should never take a simple a "Buy and hold and forget about it" approach to the markets. By picking the best technology plays in a revolutionary new market and buying the panics and selling euphoria, we've far outperformed the broader markets over the long-run.
I've got several new stock picks and some portfolio cleaning up to do over the next 10 days, and we've got a never ending task of managing our risk and growth portfolio profiles over the next 3000-10,000 days ahead. If you'd like to see the trades I'm doing in my personal portfolio in real-time, be sure to check out TradingWithCody.com.
And in the meantime, stay objective, stay flexible, stay contrarian.

(Reuters) - Archie Manning, who fretted over showdowns between his quarterbacking sons Peyton and Eli, reached out to Jack Harbaugh as his coaching sons prepare to battle on the National Football League's (NFL) biggest stage.
Sibling rivalry will reach new heights in New Orleans on February 3 when John Harbaugh's Baltimore Ravens battle younger brother Jim Harbaugh's San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
"We just talked Monday and it's one of those deals where he said 'We just kind of pinch ourselves', and that's the way me and (wife) Olivia have been when the boys are playing against each other or when they get to Super Bowls or so forth," Manning told ESPN Radio on Wednesday.
Manning said he also spoke with Jack Harbaugh, himself a former college football player and coach, ahead of a U.S. Thanksgiving Day game in 2011 when Baltimore beat San Francisco in the first NFL game between head coaching siblings.
It is familiar territory for former NFL quarterback Archie Manning as his sons have opposed each other twice in regular season games with Peyton's Indianapolis Colts teams beating younger brother Eli's New York Giants both times.
Archie has not had to squirm watching his boys duel for the Lombardi Trophy but has had the pleasure of watching Peyton, who has since joined the Denver Broncos, win it in 2007 and Eli triumph in 2008 and 2012.
"I told him (Jack Harbaugh), just enjoy the journey it's so special. The sad part of it is, the Broncos are going to play the Giants again next year," Manning said. "We don't look forward to that game for one reason - someone is going to lose.
"And that's what's going to happen in the Super Bowl ... Someone's going to lose. As a parent, that hurts you.
"Any parent is going to be elated when their child is part of a Super Bowl winning team, but they can't be as excited as all the others because they've got one that's also lost."
The Harbaugh brothers do not figure to have much time for family gatherings before the Super Bowl but will get to share at least one unique moment together in the build-up to the game.
In a break with tradition, the NFL has scheduled a joint press conference for the two head coaches on February 1 in New Orleans, where brothers can be brothers before they lead their teams to battle.

For Students
For those students who are graduating and looking at an uncertain job market, Steve Hulett, business rep of The Animation Guild, summarizes a talk he gave to the students at Cal Arts.
Their advice sounds pretty good to me.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the mention/link to my blog post. And, your comment below was a not only funny, it was dead-on true.
"I've told my students before they hit senior year that an unfinished senior film is like walking into a job interview wearing a T-shirt that says "Can't hit deadlines." If they don't understand the importance of that statement, I tell them to think about being in a singles bar wearing a T-shirt that says "Lousy in bed." Neither of those T-shirts is going to produce the desired result."

Good advice Indeed.
Thanks for the link Mark. Inspirational post...especially when I'm on the home stretch of this film and feelin a little worn out.
I think the best advice I've received from you and others is to focus on your strengths and to make the film "personal".
5 more weeks...or is it 4? Oh boy. haha

Hello back after a bit of absence with the new Curzon Midnight Moves flyers for Labyrinth and Bad Santa.
So ill start with Labyrinth. I wanted to recreate the feel of 80's recreated comic book illustration style like you would see in the pages of 'look in' magazine (if anyone else used to read it as a kid) or you got on various 80's merchandising (see here: 1, 2, 3). Due to there being a lack of technology and decent version of Photoshop at the time.
So after a bit of research i found they did do a Labyrinth comic book and so based the character illustration style around that and worked it around the Ball theme for the night.
For the Bad Santa i wanted to give it that quirky twist again. So i based the design around emphasising the BAD in the title and treated it like a 50's style pulp film poster. (for example: 1, 2, 3, 4)
I kept the illustration to a simple 3 colour print, offsetting them slightly. Then pulled out some quotes from the copy and had fun playing with the type.

Desperate times call for desperate measures and that's what the Mets are doing with their 2012 ticket plans.
Attendance was down for a third straight season in 2011, the fifth straight year they didn't reach the playoffs.
With the team in a financially precarious situation, they have no alternative is this stressful economy but to lower costs of season tickets and single-game tickets.
The majority of Season Ticket Holders will pay less for their seats in 2012:
• 80% of seats will have a reduction of approximately 5% or greater
• 57% of seats will have a reduction of 10% or greater
• 35% will have a cut of 20% or more
• 18% will have a drop of 30% or more
• More than 15,000 seats will cost less than $25 per game.
The Mets are also offering incentives to those who renew by Nov. 7, which will probably be well before a decision is reached on Jose Reyes. Some of those incentives include price reductions in other seating categories and allow them to upgrade at no cost.
For the individual and not the cooperated entity, the team will introduce a limited number of full-season tickets at $12 a game.
For the economists in the bunch, the Mets will also introduce single-game tickets that will adjust in cost. If the Phillies are in and the demand is high, the price will drop. If it is the Nationals and both teams are out of it in September, the cost will dropt.
To protect its full-season ticket holders, the price would not drop below the full-season rates.
With attendance dropping and not wanting to compete with the secondary market, this his think-out-side-the-box for a franchise in need of a spark.

morningsideparks needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 104 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Looking for a clean logo design for a wonderful nonprofit dedicated to improving Atlanta, Georgia's public parks, playgrounds, green-spaces, and trails through fundraising, maintenance, improvement, and hard-work.
Morningside Parks Commission
We are looking for a logo for use on our website and letterhead. We would then take an aspect of the logo (for example, a stylized leaf) for a symbol for t-shirts and car stickers.
We would like something simple and modern (think Apple's design) on a white background. Not opposed to all lower case. Prefer san sarif fonts. For colors, we are thinking greens, browns, grays. We are a city parks group, so think "green" and "urban" all in one. As opposed to "parks," it might be more helpful to think of a design for a condo community or urban development.
Nothing cute and overused - for example, a string of children holding hands, or any of the other designs typically used for parks. Nothing that looks like a street signs or a country club. Nothing with the Atlanta skyline - urban should be solely communicated through the design.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.
