i scored it on ebay
plus i ordered a
colorsplash flash
from amazon
find a way to get some of those pics online!
hhmmm.... sounds like an interesting camera. so it basically just takes really trippy photos?
you gotta post some pics from the 'Lomo'
its a colored flash....cool!
post some pics when you can! Does it just have one color or can you change it to fit your mood?
lomographs are way cool...I can't wait to see some sample shots...
That sounds like a lot of fun! I had never heard of this type of camera... Has it been around long?
I wonder how long till they come up with a digital version of it!
Do post some pics when you get a chance!
here's some samples of lomographs...
they are basically shoddy Russian cameras that the has a type of lens that creates super saturated photos. its also a wider angled camera too for a little bit of a fish eye effect.
the flash has 9 different colors i think, it should be here tomorrow
if you want to see some quality lomography check out http://www.lomography.com
i am in love with photography all over again!
That's how I've felt since getting my D100 a few months ago.
ive had a lomo for many years now and i can say its a real fun camera
i have 10 or so cameras and it is one of my favorites.
enjoy it
it should be here thursday. this is gonna be fun
evil can you post some of your pics?
don't think, shoot
The lomo is great. But its the rules of lomography which really make the medium. the first rule being "there are no rules" and another being "don't think, shoot"
Its about capturing the moment.
There are many different kinds of lomos as well. Some that shoot 4 frames in sequence and fit it on a single picture.
the most defining characteristic of a lomo however is the subtle vingette around the corners of the frame.
if you are the obeygiant i just wanted to give you props. awesome works man
i dont know how to post pics

Property prices in the West Midlands continue to rise above all expectations. At the end of last year, the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveys predicted a 7% increase in house prices across the region during 2014. With the latest figures, that figure looks set to be eclipsed. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) revealed an average rise of 5.3%, well above the UK average for the month of 3.8%.

"Ex-PATRIOT Act" Would Penalize Tax Schemers Like Facebook's Saverin
Senators Charles Schumer and Bob Casey are behind the "Ex-PATRIOT Act," in response to Facebook's co-founder Eduardo Saverin's efforts to avoid paying U.S. taxes.
The senators will call Saverin's move an "outrage" and will outline their plan to re-impose taxes on expatriates like Saverin even after they flee the United States and take up residence in a foreign country. Their proposal would also impose a mandatory 30 percent tax on the capital gains of anybody who renounces their U.S. citizenship.
The plan would bar individuals like Saverin from ever reentering the United States again.Click here for reuse options!

PIC Programming Tutorial
A Start-To-End PIC Programming Tutorial
In this tutorial we will implement a "blinking led" application. When you complete this tutorial, you will have a blinking led with a one second delay.
For this tutorial you will need :
- the tools from Basic Tools To Program PIC page,
- the assembly code from Timing – Delay Loops page,
- bread board for test bench
On the Basic Tools To Program PIC page you will find basic tools for programming a PIC micro controller. These tools are an "assembler", a "programmer software" and a "programmer hardware". Before starting this tutorial you should download the softwares and prepare the programmer hardware (setup the circuit shown in the Tools page on a bread board or buy one).
Assembler : The assambler converts the assembly code into hexadecimal information which is meaningful for the microcontroller.
We will use Microchip's free PIC assembler tool which is called as MPASM. When you download and install the Microchip's MPLAB-IDE tool, the MPASM tool will be installed under the "./Program Files/Microchip/MPASM Suite" folder. You will see a program called as MPASMWIN.exe
Configuring MPASMWIN
- Choose Redix, Warning Level and Hex Output as Default.
- Choose Error File and List File from Generated Files.
- Clear the Case Sensitive check box.
- And choose the processor you use (here 16F628).
Let's try to assemble a file.
- Download the assembly code : blinking-led (This is the example shown in the Timing – Delay Loops page. You may open it with a text editor. Try Notepad.)
- Choose the file by pressing "Browse" button in MPASM.
- Be sure you configured the MPASM as in the above picture.
- Finally, click "Assemble" button.
If everything is fine, a dialog box will be shown like in the picture below.
Now, some files have been generated to the same folder you move the "blink.asm". These are "blink.err","blink.lst" and the most important one BLINK.HEX.
The blink.err file shows the errors occured in the assembly process. The blink.lst file includes the programming information such as errors, warnings, memory. It is useful espacially for correcting errors.
BLINK.HEX is the file we will send to PIC microcontroller.
Programmer Software : The programmer software sends the hexadecimal information to the microcontroller.
We will use IC-PROG to program our PIC.
Configuring IC-PROG :
Configure the software as in the below picture :
Sending the hex file to the PIC
I assume you have a programmer hardware and it is connected to PC properly. If you have trouble with the programmer hardware recheck Basic Tools To Program PIC page or send me your question from the form on the About page.
- Click Open File from File menu.
- Choose the BLINK.HEX file.
- Click Program All from Command menu (Or press F5).
- Click Yes to Dialog Box.
It will program and verify your PIC. If everything is fine, you will see a message like Successfully Verified. Otherwise, you will see an error message saying error at the address …
To see the results
Now, we need a testbench to see the results. I setup the test bench in the picture below.
I used the bottom part of my programmer bread board. I just carried the power for PIC (fifth pin to the ground and fourteenth pin to +5V)and connect a resistor (150Ohm)and a LED serially to the sixth pin of the PIC.
If everything is ok, the LED will blink with a delay of 1 second (approximately). (As you can see in the picture above, you should be very careful while working on bread board, otherwise you might burn the bread board with a chip :-) )
If you have any question or comment feel free to contact me from the communication form on the About page (use a correct mail address to have me to reach you later).

Lately we've been digging through the rumpled items in the lost and found bin and finding some missing things.
Most notably, this was the week rabbit decided to sleep over in TJ Maxx leaving Abigail and I sick with worry and shedding tears over lovies lost. Later we learned that rabbit had spent the evening trying on shoes a half size too small, perusing infused olive oils, and debating over whether or not she needed that large pumpkin serving platter. Needless to say rabbit is grounded indefinitely.
We recovered plenty more.
Lungs better prepared to withstand humidity and the return of longer runs for me.
A sneak peek into my favorite time of year with cooler mornings and a few eager leaves just itching to update their wardrobes for fall, meaning only one thing to Abigail at this point — more time for scootering and sidewalk chalk.
And we reunited with Ryan after his first week at his new job!
It was only two years that we were gone, but it was enough time to allow my experience shape a new part of me. I'll never give that up. I like being southern with a twist of northwest. But I have to say, spending the weekend where college football is an all day event, eating chicken wings with family makes me feel like I've blown the dust off of a little part of me that I've been missing.
And I'll drink a sweet tea to that.

One of the most important decisions you can make is to get started saving for your future.
While you may have a lot of competing financial priorities—paying off debt, saving for a first home, or starting a business or a family—it pays to make room in your budget for saving now rather than later.
If you've never enrolled in an employer-sponsored retirement savings plan before, you may want to consider starting with the UC 403(b) Plan and/or the UC 457(b) Plan. As a UC employee, you can contribute to both plans as long as you are not a student working fewer than 20 hours per week. (In 2018 you can contribute up to $18,500 to each plan; and up to $24,500 to each plan if you are age 50 or older. Contribution limits are set by the federal government and can change each year.)
You pay no taxes on your contributions to these plans until you withdraw them. This means that regardless of which plan you decide to contribute to, you put more of your money to work for you. The monies in your 403(b) and/or your 457(b) Plans may increase as a result of your contributions, contributions from UC, and potential investment return. On top of that, any money you defer into your plans on a pretax basis lowers your taxable income in the eyes of the IRS.
The key difference between the two plans is how and when you can access your money. It may boil down to when you expect to leave UC and the flexibility you need in accessing your money. Both plans allow you to take a withdrawal while working for UC (called an "in-service" withdrawal), but the 403(b) allows you to take an in-service withdrawal at age 59½, while that age is raised to 70½ for the 457(b). (Both plans allow you to take in-service withdrawals in the case of a financial hardship or unforeseeable emergencies.)
So if you expect to work for UC for a long time but think you might need access to your money earlier than age 70½, directing at least a portion of your contributions to the 403(b) Plan may make sense.
The UC Pathway Funds let you make a single fund choice based on the year you expect to begin withdrawing money from the plan. The funds provide asset re-allocation based on the fund's target date, growing more conservative as they near that target retirement date. The point is, your money is being carefully managed and you don't have to do anything about it.
Note: The investment risks of each target date Pathway Fund change over time as the Fund's asset allocation changes. Assets held in the Pathway Funds are subject to the volatility of the financial markets, including equity and fixed income investments in the U.S. and abroad and may be subject to risks associated with investing in high yield, small cap and foreign securities. Principal invested is not guaranteed at any time, including at or after their target dates.
Register with NetBenefits and the system will guide you step-by-step through the short enrollment process. If you prefer to talk with a representative, call 1-866-682-7787.
Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time and you may gain or lose money.

What's This?
Salmon sustain the people, wildlife and landscapes of the Yukon River. If the salmon are lost, all will be affected.
A female Chum Salmon washed up on some tree branches in the Fishing Branch River, providing an easy meal for this sow Grizzly and her cub. The chum salmon run this year is expected to be around 35,000.
In 1986, the first salmon count on the Fishing Branch River was over 350,000 fish. The mismanagement of the salmon has lead to runs as low as 9,000 fish.
A Grizzly bear pounces on salmon in their spawning grounds off the Kluane River. The grizzlies are feeding on salmon in early winter, fattening up for a long hibernation.
Frosty Freeze Dinner
This particular grizzly, would catch salmon and leave them on shore to freeze, returning hours later to feast on his frozen meals. Grizzlies, will often only eat the skin of the salmon, leaving the remains for eagles, ravens and wolves to scavenge.
Salmon Dance
A young bruin, holds a salmon by the skin of its' teeth while looking for a second.
Kluane River
The Kluane River at freeze up. Chum salmon migrate a thousand miles to spawn and die in the Kluane River and its' tribuataries, creating a biological hotspot that attracts wildlife from all over.
Birds and Bears
Like so many places in the North, the salmon are the lifeblood of the ecosystem. Feeding grizzlies, eagles, wolves, magpies, coyotes, ravens, and wolverines.
The grizzly bears near Bear Cave Mountain are famously known as "ice-bears". When fishing for salmon in temperatures below minus 20 Celsius, the water quickly freezes to their hair and creates an icicle covered grizzly.

text: Hi, I just got back from the UK and thought I'd share a couple experiences I see a lot of questions about. I have a rooted Droid X (Verizon) on Gingerbread. 1. GPS - No, the Google Navigation does not work. In a hotel with WiFi, I was able to have it find my location, but as I drove to the destination, it did not track me along. There are lots of posts on why this is the case. I was able to utilize the map Google Navigation drew in the hotel before I left and have my friend follow it as I drove telling me when to turn. 2. Skype - I removed "Skype Mobile" and added "Skype." I preloaded $10 on it and it worked great. Anywhere there was WiFi I could do free Skype-to-Skype or just call a US land/mobile line for $0.062 for the first minute and $0.023 for each additional minute per call. 3. Netflix - Netflix does not work in Europe. I hope people find this helpful. I always use the posts on this site and I'm hoping I can contribute back in some way. Thanks, Andy

Lazy mornings, active afternoons
A friend and I were congratulating ourselves the other day on how well summer break is going, when we realized it hasn't even been two full weeks yet. That moment may have encompassed both the high and low morale points of the season.
Perhaps we peaked too early, but Camp Whattawedo is in full swing. I've had to tweak the mornings a bit to get them closer to autopilot, but the overall concept of lazy mornings and active afternoons is working pretty well so far. It may make sense to switch them around as the temperatures move into the three digits, but I love not having to herd groggy kids around in the mornings.
Mondays we work on a creative project. Today, it was rediscovering the Legos. TIP: I found a cool source for building plans called Rebrickable, which generates downloadable plans for new creations based on the model numbers of sets you already own (you can look them up on Amazon if you recklessly threw out the manuals long ago). Last week, we built a Viking village for dragons out of dollar store craft sticks. They have colored ones now, which in my opinion, is a major leap forward in art and design.
Tuesdays, we swim. They swim. I read. I still can't get over being able to finally do that. For pages at a stretch.
Wednesdays, we've been going to the brand spanking new children's library. There's not much for my big kids there (the cool new teen library is downtown), but the Littlest Who is doing a weekly theater program in the beautiful sunlit auditorium, while I sit at the back of the room and catch up on People magazine.
Thursdays, we swim. I don't know what we're going to do Tuesdays and Thursdays when it gets too hot to swim during the day here. Hitchhike to Maine, maybe.
Fridays are field trip days. I had to pick up my teenager from sleepaway camp the first week, but last week we went bowling. I thought it might be a hard sell to the 14-year-old, but he was really into it. TIP: we get two games of bowling per day, FREE, through kidsbowlfree.com. It's nationwide, so check it out (expect to pay for shoe rentals and snacks). Physical activity in air conditioned comfort is good. Maybe bowling can replace one of our weekly pool days, and we can swim at night instead. We never get tired of night swimming, and by mid-July in Arkansas, it's the only tolerable way to get outdoors.
It must be said that not everyone has been thrilled with the concept of summer structure, however loose. This was posted on Day Two.
The renegade camp was attracting defectors, until the smallest of them asked what was for lunch, and was referred to the new schedule. He studied it for a moment, then announced he would be in Camp Whatever in the mornings, and Camp Whattawedo in the afternoons.
I didn't bother to point out that Camp Whattawedo is basically Camp Whatever in the mornings already. Let him think he's hacked the system.
How's your summer going so far?

text: Alex Auld wasn't indoctrinated into the club until after his NHL rookie season in 2001-02. "I was surprised the first time," said Auld, who played for the Vancouver Canucks at the time. "I can't remember whether it was a coach or another goalie at the time, Aaron Judge Authentic Jersey but they just said, 'Yeah, it's burning rubber,' and compared it to car tires. It made sense." Auld, who is an analyst for Canucks games on radio, finished his NHL career with the Ottawa Senators in 2011-12, not before he had a puck burn through his jersey. "[The shot] went off the edge of my shoulder and I could smell the burning rubber," Auld said. "The next day the trainer showed me the hole in the jersey. But it wasn't torn, more like it had melted." It wasn't always this way. Kirk McLean, Brett Gardner Authentic Jersey who played 612 games during a 16-season NHL career that ended in 2001, appeared perplexed by the question and said he doesn't remember ever smelling burnt rubber. Neither does Darren Pang, who played in the NHL from 1984-89. But St. Louis Blues goalie Jake Allen knows the smell well. "It's distinct," Allen said. "It's tough to say for sure how often, but probably a couple times a week. A lot is off your mask, usually if [the puck] zings off the side on an angle, because it takes a bit of the puck off." Not every goalie smells it as regularly. It takes the right kind of shot hitting the right way to create the smell, which is caused by rubber coming off the puck. Just as car tires leave black marks on asphalt after a burnout, the puck often leaves black marks on the pads, glove and jersey of a goalie. "If it hits Mickey Mantle Authentic Jersey you dead in the face, you didn't smell burning rubber," said Martin Biron, whose 16-season NHL career ended in 2013-14. "If it just grazed you enough, with the rotation of the puck, it was enough to get that smell. Then it's very [pungent] and you have that smell of rubber for a good 5-10 minutes." Biron said he smelled it "once a week, either in practice or in a game." Price said it is more commonplace than when he arrived in the NHL in 2007. Pang said the regularity is not just the result of increased velocity, but the willingness of players to elevate those harder shots around the head of a goaltender, something that wasn't common when he played. "Maybe Didi Gregorius Authentic Jersey I am wrong on this, but I watch Jake Allen and Carter Hutton get hit four or five times in the face in practice almost every day," said Pang, a analyst for St. Louis Blues games. "They never do anything about it, they don't have a fit. It's just normal practice now, it seems. Shooters are all taught they have to go high and they feel the goalies are so well-protected." That wasn't the case when Pang, who's 5-foot-5, played. "I should have smelled it, because with my low stance and height a lot of shots that were crossbar height or below were buzzing my ears," Pang said. "But if I got one off my head it was generally a mistake and that player came to you right away and said, 'Sorry, are you OK?' And if it happened too much from the same player you had a fit; you had to literally go after the player with one hand on your stick. It was a way different mentality. [New York Islanders goalie] Billy Smith wasn't getting hit in the face by Denis Potvin. [Montreal goalie] Ken Dryden wasn't getting ripped in the noggin by Guy Lafleur. They had way too much respect for their No. 1 goaltender, and they kept the pucks low because they knew the goalies weren't well-protected." Auld said he thinks it changed, in part, because goalies spend more time on their knees in the butterfly era and, as Pang said, are better protected than before. "We played with less and less fear every year because of better equipment," Auld said. "I feel like shooters don't care as much anymore because the goalies don't care as much." Even if the shots are now hard enough to burn rubber.

This just in: former talk-show host Ricki Lake had a homebirth! The writer of this blog thinks she may have known this already (as the homebirthed child is now five) but had filed the information away in her brain thinking she was unlikely to need it again. What was she to do, start blabbing to people that "Ricki Lake had a homebirth, too. See, I'm not the only weirdo!" ? Admittedly, the writer had made comments to friends and acquaintances regarding her own son's homebirth, but Ricki Lake's name had never graced her granola-crumbed lips, at least not in the context of birthing options.
So the reason for mentioning her now, in seemingly non sequitur-like fashion? Well, according to the writer's source, Ms. Lake has teamed up with director Abby Epstein to make a documentary about birth, called The Business of Being Born. Various births are portrayed, including Lake's second child's waterbirth. The writer believes this documentary could be, and hopefully is, a very good thing.
In other news, writer of this blog wins Major Award. She is smiling, because she doesn't normally make money these days, and money is good. She likey money, and she may decide it wouldn't hurt to make some more sometime soon. Details to follow, if and when appropriate.
P.S. The writer of this blog does not intend to bootleg the fabulous enidd's writing style; she'll be back to First Person in her next post.

Black Twitter May Rise Up Against Designers Who Don't Hire Black Models
As New York Fashion Week is once again upon us, so is the question, "Where are the black models?" During Fashion Week in February, black models accounted for just 6 percent of the looks shown (down from 8.1 percent the previous season); 82.7 percent were worn by white models, reports The New York Times.
The Times wrote an exhaustive article about the ongoing efforts to diversify the fashion industry, with many black fashion insiders saying that online action may be the only way to encourage designers to include more minority models in their shows this September. Bethann Hardison, a former model and agent, told the Times that she is organizing a social media campaign to bring public scrutiny to specific designers (such as Dior, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and Chanel) who do not use black models. This is in hopes that consumers might think twice before buying items from designers who do not use black models. "I wonder if that would make them have second thoughts about buying the shoes, the accessories and the bags," she said.
Iconic model Iman is calling for even more drastic action. "It feels to me like the times need a real hard line drawn like in the 1960s, by saying if you don't use black models, then we boycott," Iman told Huffington Post. "If you engage the social media, trust me, it will hurt them in their pockets. If you take it out there, they will feel the uproar."
But because the general public doesn't necessarily purchase high-end designer clothes, image activist and fashion insider Michaela Angela Davis says social media is the way to go to effect change, especially Black Twitter. Some credit African Americans who took to Twitter for putting the kibosh on the book that George Zimmerman juror B37 had planned on writing about the experience.
Do you think by exposing designers who don't use black models will spur an industry change?

The one who is guilty of putting a security hole in software he distributes for free is in no way responsible since you didn't pay him anything to take any responsibility.
Most of the time you have a support contracter that is responsible for those security holes. That can be Red Hat, Novell or Mandriva. If you pay them to patch your machine and ensure security, and the contract says they are responsible, then they are responsible.
If you downloaded a distro for free and have no support contract then you are responsible for whatever happens to your computer.
If you use Windows, then indeed, Microsoft is responsible for fixing security breaches because you paid for that service.
You can't have it all. download it for free and still blame whoever put buggy code in your computer because it is you and you alone. They give you the source code for you to fix it when it is broken, so you fix it or you pay someone to do it. The software is not the service. Microsoft does not give the code but they take responsibility for it.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Amelia Arts Academy, Inc., Fernandina Beach, FL, USA
The Amelia Arts Academy is excellent for children and adults alike in Nassau County. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They have a wide variety of classes and lessons and often hold special concerts and events. I sent my daughter to summer camp there last summer and it was so wonderful. She not only had fun with her friends, but was able to participate in healthy and enriching activities at the same time. I highly recommend AAA and will be returning next summer!

text: San Diego, Aug. 6, 2009 "Wait a second." I put down my fork, thus signaling the severity of my protest. "Why does it even matter how thick the walls of the hornet's nest are?" If my neighbor at the dinner table was becoming impatient with me, he wasn't showing it. "I will come to that," he said, somewhat paternally, I thought. "But first, how do you think the hornet can determine the thickness of the walls, and thus ensure it is entirely uniform throughout each layer of the nest?" "I will tell you," he continued, waiting only half a second for me to respond (or stare blankly, as the case happened to be). "It is acoustic resonance." Features editor Lynn Savage was seated a table or two over in the Marina Ballroom of the San Diego Marriott. I knew he was taking notes about the winners of the 2009 society awards, snapping photos of the scholarship recipients, absorbing the finer points of the presentation by Charles M. Vest, "Why Science and Engineering Matter in the 21st Century." You know, covering the event. I, in the meantime, was being schooled in the construction of hornets' nests. I wouldn't have had it any other way, though. One of the things I like about meetings and trade shows is that they afford the opportunity to meet and talk with people from throughout the community. Not necessarily about business or science - though neither of these is not out of the question - but about whatever topic tickles them. For instance, I had a very nice chat about roller coasters over lunch today. This allows me to get to know them in a way I never could through brief e-mail exchanges or phone interviews. And I appreciate that. I'll leave it to Lynn to tell you what happened onstage at the SPIE 54th annual awards banquet. I'm going to sign off now. I'll see you next time. Gary Boas firstname.lastname@example.com Teach Your Children WellSan Diego, Aug. 5, 2009Neal C. Gallagher worries he might fail as a father. Not in any of the usual ways. The retired professor of engineering and current SPIE fellow has enrolled his children in an excellent school system, and he clearly dotes on them otherwise. No, what keeps Gallagher up at nights is the possibility that, one day, his kids might decide to get jobs in finance. To be sure, he has cause for concern. In a talk he gave at the SPIE Fellows Luncheon yesterday, "Where Have All the Engineering Students Gone?," he noted that enrollments in engineering programs have dropped from roughly 80,000 in 1985 to somewhere in the area of 50,000 today. So the likelihood of his children following in his footsteps has in fact decreased. Why is this? Gallagher, who emphasized that he is simply a concerned parent, has a few ideas. The first, he admitted, has proved somewhat controversial. After looking at programs designed to interest children in engineering, he determined that many of these - certain remedial programs, for example - target kids who may not be good enough students to get into engineering programs. There is nothing wrong with this, per se, he said. He feels, however, that the programs are neglecting the very best students, those who could make the most impact in the field. Another possible reason for the decline in interest is that typical classroom science experiments are "weak, really pretty boring." Small wonder, he said, that kids are staying away in droves. To remedy this in his own backyard, at least, Gallagher volunteered to go into his children's school to try to get second-graders excited about science and engineering. He developed lessons about states of matter and energy of phase change, siphons (using a flush toilet) and electricity and magnetism, demonstrating the various principles using Newton's Cradle and other engaging props and activities. The children had no trouble grasping these advanced concepts, he said; one little boy even arrived at his own understanding of relativity. It's impossible to measure the impact of Gallagher's efforts without any sort of systematic study. Anecdotally, though, he has seen a number of children get fired up about science in ways they might not have otherwise. And if just one of them chooses to study engineering rather than some more sordid career path… ***** It was getting to be that point in the afternoon where time seems to slow. I was wandering the exhibition floor cradling a small, plastic cup filled with tepid press room coffee, and had just passed the California NanoSystems Institute booth when a woman called out: "Hey, how are YOU?" I'll be honest, I was a bit startled. When I got to talking to her, though, I found her totally charming. She told me all about the Institute, a research center at UCLA charged with encouraging university collaboration with industry and enabling rapid commercialization of discoveries in nanosystems. Its scope is broad, she said. In addition to the eight core labs facilitating collaborative research, the Institute offers summer training programs, educational outreach to underserved schools in Los Angeles, incubator space for startup companies… "Wait, back up," I interjected. I took another sip of my coffee. "Did you say outreach?" ***** Education is a tremendously important concern for the optics community, and we at Photonics Media have decided to take a more proactive stance in addressing it. The August issue of Photonics Spectra includes the first in an ongoing series of "Education Wavefront" columns. This month, I look at the so-called "CSI Effect" in education: the combination of misunderstandings about and increased expectations of forensic science brought on by the popular TV show. And I've already submitted the next column, examining the gender gap in science and math achievement. I'm currently exploring the role of informal learning - at museums and aquariums, for example - in science education. I recently visited the California Science Center in Los Angeles and spoke with many of the good people there - not just about the interactive optics exhibit on the museum floor, which totally sparked the interest of the children I saw at the exhibit, but also about the Center's educational and professional development efforts. When I was in San Francisco for the Human Brain Mapping meeting in June, I visited the Exploratorium, a hands-on science museum much like the California Science Center, and had a similar conversation about that institution's community outreach programs. In both cases, I wanted to know: did those at the museum view its outreach efforts as complementing public school science curricula or as somehow plugging holes in the curricula? The difference is more than semantic, I think. The California education system is in crisis, and I'm curious as to what the landscape will look like even in the near future: what role non-profit organizations, for example, will play in meeting these basic needs for children. I asked the same questions of the woman from the California NanoSystems Institute. She said - not surprisingly, given that they target underserved communities - that the Institute's efforts are a response to a perceived lack in the schools: a lack of funding, a lack of teachers, a lack of enthusiasm. The professor who spearheads the efforts hopes to get students excited about science - and especially about nanosystems, which aren't on the tips of everyone's tongues now but may very well be when the students enter the workforce. ***** From Orange County, Fla., where Neal C. Gallagher's children go to school, to the Compton area of Los Angeles, alarms have been raised about our ability to interest kids in science. This is not just an academic concern, so to speak. We live in an innovation economy, and if we are to remain competitive we need to cultivate future generations of researchers and engineers. Now, of course, is the time to do so. firstname.lastname@example.com Star GazingSan Diego, Aug. 4, 2009The Museum of Jurassic Technology is tucked away in a small building on a nondescript stretch of Venice Boulevard in the Culver City section of Los Angeles. Although the setting might suggest otherwise, the contents of the building are actually quite remarkable: The museum claims to be a "specialized repository of relics and artifacts from the Lower Jurassic, with an emphasis on those that demonstrate unusual or curious technological qualities." Volunteers from the San Diego Astronomy Club set up telescopes at the Monday welcome reception, allowed attendees to view the night sky and enthusiastically answered any questions they had. (Photonics Media photos by Gary Boas) I wandered into the museum on Saturday, pretty much on a whim. I had a couple of hours to kill before a friend was to read from a recent anthology at a Glendale bookstore, and another friend had suggested this place would be sufficiently quirky for me if I ever found myself in the area. As it happened, the first exhibit I stumbled upon was a collection of letters sent to the Mount Wilson Observatory in Pasadena between 1915 and 1935. Among these was a yellowed scrap of paper dismissing the laws of gravitation as "a contemptible lie." And my favorite, an unsigned postcard beseeching of "Mr. Wilson": "PLEASE SHOW MR EINSTEIN YOUR BIG TELESCOPE SO HE CAN TELL US ALL ABOUT IT HE HAS NO BIG TELESCOPE YOU KNOW BUT WE KNOW HE IS A BIG SCIENTIFIC MAN IN EDUCATION HE IS CONSIDERED EVEN GREATER THAN CHARLEY CHAPLIN." (If you can get your hands on the book "No One May Ever Have the Same Knowledge Again," which compiles these letters, I heartily recommend you do so.) It would be a bit too easy, perhaps, to read these letters and dwell on the pathos of, for example, a woman in Auckland, New Zealand, writing to men in California whom she had never met to explain that the planet Mars is inhabited by human spirits who work our gramophones and moving pictures. I'll admit, I spent part of Sunday afternoon on the veranda behind the convention center doing just that. The goal of the exhibit was not to condescend, however. Rather, the curators sought to convey the explosion of interest in astronomy in the early decades of the 20th century, not long after the observatory went live with what was then the largest actively used telescope in existence. Findings from the observatory were published in scientific journals and eventually picked up by the popular press, where they clearly fired the imaginations of readers. By the beginning of the 1920s, the observatory was welcoming 20,000 visitors every year. Tens of thousands of others followed its progress in the papers. And no small number of those contacted the observatory with theories and observations of their own. Professor John Greivenkamp of the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences is displaying more than 60 of the antique telescopes he has collected for the university.We may be in the midst of another such moment. With the 400th year of the telescope, the 40th anniversary of the moon landing and the Hubble telescope continuing to provide spectacular images, astronomy is as much in vogue as ever. As before, the public is embracing new findings about the heavens and lettings its collective imagination run wild with the possibilities they suggest. The 2009 Optics + Photonics show is a part of this moment. In commemoration of both the 400th anniversary of the telescope and the International Year of Astronomy, SPIE has planned an array of special events, including an antique telescope display, an astro-photo wall and astro-photo workshops, a live data feed from an Australian observatory, "Star Gazing" with volunteers from the San Diego Astronomy Club. The antique telescope display comes courtesy of professor John Greivenkamp and the University of Arizona College of Optical Sciences. It features more than 60 telescopes and associated items from the 17th to the mid-20th centuries. Greivenkamp purchased the first antique telescope only five or six years ago, when he realized that students of optical technology were losing any connection with the history of the field, and has since built a world-class collection. The collection is open to visitors to the University of Arizona, and portions can be viewed online at www.optics.arizona.edu/antiques. He showed me a number of the telescopes yesterday as he and several others put the finishing touches on the SPIE display: from an early 18th-century Italian telescope with a paper barrel – brass tubing was not yet available, he explained – to a circa 1750 mahogany telescope with a reverse taper barrel, to accommodate the very small diameter objective lens needed to limit the blurring due to longitudinal chromatic aberration. And as an optical engineer, he provided a relatively unique perspective as to the history of the telescope, discussing the optical materials available in a given period, for instance, and how they affected the design. He is thrilled to be able to share this knowledge. Understanding the past can help us appreciate the technology of today, he said, and better envision the instruments of tomorrow. The Optics + Photonics show provides a tremendous opportunity for people to discover the collection and to delve into the history of the telescope. email@example.com Worlds (Nearly) CollideAug. 3, 2009 I was elbowed aside as I negotiated the 3300 aisle of the San Diego Convention Center. I turned and glared at the owner of the elbow. He was dressed all in black and sporting a gas mask. "TIE fighter pilot," I thought, although his resemblance to the character from the "Star Wars" movies was mostly confined to an air of jackbooted thuggishness and an apparent disregard for human life. I spotted my friend a few feet ahead of me, stalled, as a bunch of gawkers had stopped to greet a hulking robot holding court in the center of the thoroughfare. She looked at me and smiled a wry little smile. I could guess what she was thinking: "Really, Robot? In the middle of the aisle?" The Riddler and The Penguin as seen at Comic-Con International. (Image: Gary Boas)All around us the crowds surged, rising and falling like a sea of eager faces and T-shirts emblazoned with logos and epigrams decipherable only by an elect few. Lines formed, snaked around corners and intersected with other lines, contributing to a general sense of pandemonium and leading people to wonder what exactly they were waiting for. Somewhere off in the distance the rataplan of mechanized warfare issued forth from a state-of-the-art sound system. This was last Sunday at Comic-Con International, a sort of pop culture mecca where upcoming movies, TV shows, comics, toys and video games are previewed for the multitudes who descend on San Diego every year about this time. To call it bedlam would be a bit of an understatement. The Convention Center could barely contain the tens of thousands in attendance, and many of those numbers spilled out into the streets, streaming into the Gaslamp District in their sci-fi and fantasy costumes. The scene was slightly different yesterday. The SPIE Optics + Photonics meeting kicked off in the morning with a full slate of courses, talks and professional development events. The exhibition doesn't begin until tomorrow, however, so the hall itself was quiet. I peeked in after completing my registration and saw only boxes and the skeletal outlines of vendors' booths. Of the dozen or so people milling about, not one was wearing tights and a cape. After a time, I tramped upstairs to join the technical conferences already in progress. I began with a series of talks about focal plane arrays and inorganic nano solar cells. Solid stuff there. Later, I attended the excellent plenary sessions. SPIE is celebrating both the 400th anniversary of the telescope and the International Year of Astronomy, and yesterday's sessions included talks devoted to adaptive optics and astronomy, segmented mirror telescopes and direct imaging of exoplanets. The keystone of the evening may have been the plenary talk "Four Hundred Years Through the Eye of the Telescope," given by Jerry Nelson of the University of California, Santa Cruz. Nelson walked us through each of the past four centuries, outlining the major developments and discoveries in astronomy: in the 17th century, Galileo's initial studies with the telescope and the Copernican revolution, and early attempts to measure the speed of light; in the 18th century, the discovery of binary stars orbiting one another and the realization that our own solar system is moving through space. The 19th century introduced external spiral galaxies and spectral measurements of stars. Finally, in the 20th century, we came to understand that the universe is ever expanding, and acquainted ourselves with the Big Bang, black holes and dark stars. Nelson noted also that much of the knowledge acquired with the telescope has forced us to redefine our place in the universe. From Galileo demonstrating that the heavens do not circle the Earth, he said, to the discovery that our solar system is itself drifting through space, it has provided us with a steady stream of "new and humbling insights" about the part we play in the eternal celestial dance. ***** It occurred to me as I listened to the talks that the Comic-Con crowd wasn't so different from those assembled yesterday evening. We all want to know what's out there. Some of us look to the stars, hoping to see ourselves reflected back in them, or perhaps some better version of ourselves, evidence of what we could be. Just ask the legions of fans who came last week to pay tribute to "Star Trek," "Battlestar Galactica" and the British sci-fi classic "Dr. Who." Others seek to unlock the mysteries of the stars themselves. One speaker yesterday, for instance, examined the explosion mechanism that produced the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A, yielding insight into a type of event that results in the heating of galaxies and enrichment of the interstellar medium with heavy elements – the very building blocks of life, she explained. Underlying all of this, of course, is a deeply entrenched sense of wonder, a need to peer beyond the confines of everyday existence, to glean some small understanding of what it all means. And if this turns out to be the one thing we all hold in common … I think I'm OK with that. Gary Boas email@example.com

Dear AeroSvit, :
It's over between us
I had become quite fond of you over the last year. I liked your no-hassle approach to security (none, pretty much), your cheap fares to Istanbul, your fast check-in and minimal delays. I could always locate your counter in Istanbul's cavernous departure hall by searching for the particular hair color and footware choices of your typical passenger.
I defended you to my friends who thought you were just another shitty BabyFlot full of drunks vomiting in the aisle and applauding wildly at touchdown. You were better than "not that bad." You were "pretty good for this part of the world."
But it's, as they say, all over now.
In most consumer relationships there are a couple of principles that are generally adhered to. Based upon the behavior of your staff on January 7th, some of these principles might have been omitted in the most recent edition of your customer service manual (is written in Russian? It's ok. You can tell me):
- If someone gives you money to enter into an agreement, you uphold it;
- If you cannot, you make amends;
- The response "It's not my problem" does not fit into either category.
When I showed up at Borispil with 200 kgs of dogs and luggage, the correct reaction was not, "Only one dog per flight! That's our policy." 'Cause, really, that only made me mad.
Not only was this a buttfaced lie, I had a reservation in my hand, issued by your downtown ticket office, indicating these dogs were indeed scheduled to be on this flight. You said this was not your problem because those tickets were issued by a ticket office. I'll admit that it was hard for me to respond to that logic.
I lost my temper; about this I had a momentary twinge of regret. I realize that had I behaved suchly in countries where the terrorists have not yet won, I might be writing this from a secret prison in Poland. Can you blame me for losing my composure when you said I would have to pay to change the tickets that you fucked up? Can you blame me for being angry that I had to spend two more days in your country, for which any remaining goodwill I held was depleted by this incident?
As is usually the case, something else was going on that night. It had nothing to do with how many dogs can fit in the cargo hold of a 737 and everything to do with your management system, which I believe was developed based on the book, "The 7 Principles of Highly Effective Post-Soviet Management: Lying, Cheating and Stealing." What was in that cargo hold anyway?
Your goal was to run down the clock, to wait until 40 minutes before the flight was scheduled to depart so you could shut down the counter without resolving our issue, thus making us someone else's problem. You pretended to be working on it, but admit it. You were updating your glamor shot on UkraineBride.net. And don't go accusing me of not treating you right. I offered you a little sumpin sumpin in honor of the new year.
Should Ukraine continue on a Western, rather than Eastern, trajectory (certainly not a given at this point, given the unabated rise of the banditocracy of late) your airline might one day lose its protected status. Kyiv's strip clubs will be clogged by British stag parties but they won't be flying in on AeroSvit. Borispil will be swamped by airlines with even worse service than yours, but offering tickets at 1/3rd the price.
I shall not mourn you. You suck.

Building work will begin on the Airrail Center at Frankfurt Airport this year. This was announced by Eckart John Freyend, Chairman of the Board of Directors of IVG Immobilien AG, and Wilhelm Bender, Chairman of the Executive Board of Fraport AG, at a press conference at the Frankfurt Airport Club.
Project partners IVG and Fraport obtained the Hilton International for the Airrail Center Frankfurt. Hilton will operate two hotels at the Airrail Center: a high class Hilton Hotel with 247 rooms and a mid-market Hilton Garden Inn with 314 rooms. Together, both hotels cover 30,000 m² of the 59,000-m² lease space in the first section of the building. The contract with Hilton International is for 20 years and commences on completion of the first section of the building at the beginning of 2009. In addition to the hotels, 28,000 m² of office and 1,000 m² of retail space is available in the first section of the Airrail Center building. 5,000 m² of the office space has already been let to international users, meaning that 60% of the first building section has been let in advance.
"Our talks with renowned international companies for further office space in the Airrail Center are also at an advanced stage. Concrete negotiations are currently being held for 35,000 m² of the office space. We expect new contracts to be concluded shortly," explained John von Freyend.
The size and architecture of the Airrail Center will shape the appearance of Frankfurt Airport. Its future users will benefit from the mobility advantages of this unique transport hub. Nowhere else in Europe do more than 300 million travellers come together each year: 52 million by airplanes, 7 million on the rails and 270 million on the roads.
"The Airrail Center combines the highest level of functionality and cosmopolitanism with the appropriate ambience. It is real estate for the 21st century, which sets new standards in terms of technology and aesthetics", said Manfred Schölch, Vice Chairman of the Executive Board of Fraport AG, describing the excellent position of the project. As a member of the Executive Board, Schölch is not only responsible for the expansion of Frankfurt Airport but his responsibilities also include the Airrail Center.
For Dr. Bender, the Airrail Center marks "another important step on the way to becoming an airport city". "The successful marketing of this key property shows that our international airport is attractive and also strengthens our position on the capital market."
The project volume of the 660-metre long property is around €600 million. The net lease space is around 130,000 m², of which 95,000 m² is office space, 30,000 m² is hotel space and 5,000 m² is retail and gastronomy space.

So you have messed up your credit score by being late on some bills and even missing some payments…not good. The past is the past and now you have learned your lesson and are ready to get a new card. Now the question is which one should you choose? Below are some easy to get credit cards for people with bad credit.
- Department store credit card: Easy
to get store cards are very popular because almost everyone qualifies. The reason
for this is that the issuing store thinks that you will shop at their establishment
more often if and that the increased sales will be a hedge against their risk
of default. For most store cards you will need to have a credit score of at
least 500, which is not a problem for most people. With a store card you need
to make sure you never carry a balance or else you will get slammed with
interest rates between 22 and 24 percent. Once you have been able to pay the
card's balance each month for about a year, it is time to apply for a MasterCard
or Visa. You will be stuck with a low spending limit for a while, but you can
raise this over time by paying down the balance each month. You need to show
your creditor that you don't need the credit, that is the only way to get more
- Secure credit card: Another easy to get credit card is a secured card. A secured credit card is secured by your own cash. You have to put a certain amount of money in a savings account that is equal to 125% of your credit limit. This way, if you don't repay your card balance the bank is not out any money. After a year of paying your card balance each month it may be time to ask your bank for an unsecured card. The advantage to an unsecured card is that you can place your savings into a higher yield account such as a certificate of deposit.
- Prepaid Mastercard or Visa: The advantage of a prepaid card is that it is impossible to go over the limit, thus saving you over the limit fees. If your card runs out of money you can reload it either online or by phone. This card is great for people who just cannot seem to control their spending. You are confined to the cash that you actually have so it is impossible to spend more than you have. This will keep you out of debt!

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is coming and that's already been confirmed by the company's top brass. But what will the smartphone look like? We have rounded up rumors about the Samsung Galaxy Note 8's release date, specs, features, and price.
Following Samsung's epic Galaxy Note 7 issue there's no shortage of tension in the company to get the Galaxy Note 8 right. Everyone can agree that the best result for the next phone will be that it doesn't immediately ignite or for the battery to burst into sudden flames. And with Samsung expected to announce its findings of the Galaxy Note 7 imminently, there's a good chance this will all be resolved. We're also anticipating and expecting a powerful hardware, software, and a sleek design too, of course.
The Note 7 has caused major headaches for Samsung. Now discontinued, fans are looking forward to the Note 8 and hoping this upcoming smartphone will win us back. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 release date, news, rumours, specs, and price.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Release date
Samsung's traditionally releases a new Note flagship each year at the IFA tech show in Berlin, which offer that the Galaxy Note 8 will make its entrance in early-September 2017. Given that its release is almost a year away, there's no word as to how much the Galaxy Note 8 will cost. If anything like the phased out Note 7, expect it to cost around $700.

Kevin Spacey Talks Working With Jack Lemmon, Samuel L. Jackson
The star, who was honored by the Museum of the Moving Image, spoke to THR about his ongoing belief in digital distribution, and "House of Cards" colleagues Dana Brunetti and Beau Willimon shared what it's like to work with the actor as a producer.
Kevin Spacey was the toast of New York at a Museum of the Moving Image gala celebrating the actor Wednesday night.
The two-time Oscar winner delivered a funny, touching speech at the 28th annual salute, filled with anecdotes about The Usual Suspects and Jack Lemmon, among other stories, along with Spacey's impressions of Lemmon and Bill Clinton.
Before Spacey accepted his award, a glass bowl that he pretended to bobble as if he were going to drop the fragile prize, many of his famous colleagues paid tribute to the actor.

Samuel L. Jackson, Denis Leary, Spacey's producing partner Dana Brunetti, House of Cards creator Beau Willimon, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, Kate Bosworth and Penn Badgley all turned out to support Spacey and say a few words on his behalf.
Later, Spacey weighed in on their remarks, sharing stories about working with them and the many clips of his work that were shown throughout the evening.
"I haven't seen most of those f---ng clips since the like screening of those movies when they first came out," Spacey said during his f-word-filled speech. "And so, I'm having kind of a 'Wow, I haven't seen that f--ing scene in … 25 years.'"

Among the clips screened were scenes from Spacey's first Oscar-winning performance in The Usual Suspects and The Negotiator.
Before his Usual Suspects co-star Chazz Palminteri introduced the clip from that film, he said there's still confusion about exactly who Keyser Soze is. Spacey announced that Palminteri's character is not the film's villain, but recalled that during the movie, director Bryan Singer had done such a good job of telling all of the actors different things that when they screened it, Gabriel Byrne was "so pissed that he was not Keyser Soze that he took Bryan Singer into a parking lot to have an hourlong argument."
In addressing Jackson, Spacey recalled doing both A Time to Kill and The Negotiator with him, noting that both films have stood the test of time and to this day, people still come up to him on the street asking if he and Jackson are going to do a Negotiator sequel, something Spacey said maybe they should do.

"You know why? Cause they'd pay us a lot of f---ing money now," he said while leaning into the microphone.
Leary, meanwhile, made a brief appearance to praise -- and kind of roast -- his pal.
"When people talk about great actors, they talk about Daniel Day-Lewis," Leary began to laughs from the crowd. "And he's not here tonight."
Leary added that while Daniel Day-Lewis stays in character, Spacey does not, launching into one of his famous impressions (of Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon or William Hurt) while waiting for scenes to begin.
Badgley also talked about his experience of working with Spacey in Margin Call, which received a lot of attention for its successful day-and-date theatrical and on-demand release.
STORY: Kevin Spacey on Why He Won't Play Carson; the Right Way to Say 'F--- Off'
Earlier, Spacey, who has been a big advocate for Netflix and is self-distributing an upcoming documentary about his experience doing Richard III, told The Hollywood Reporter that he really believes in those new forms of digital distribution, even for movies.
"I absolutely think it's the future," he said.
During his speech, Spacey raved about the experience of working with Willimon on House of Cards.
"If I were ever to dream about having a relationship in a television series with a head writer, it would be this relationship, because this has been the most profoundly fun, collaborative, challenging … and where you push me to, and the kind of questions you ask and the back-and-forth has made the experience of bringing Frank Underwood to life one of the most extraordinary experiences I've ever had," he explained.
STORY: Museum of the Moving Image Co-Chairman Faints at Kevin Spacey Event
Earlier, Willimon told THR that Spacey's role as both an actor and a producer on the series helps on both sides of the camera.
"He's a real leader on set. He is involved when it comes to scripts, when it comes to big decisions, when it comes to how we're going to envision a season," Willimon said. "Most importantly, though, I think he bridges the creative and the [producer] side. He knows what we need in terms of production but he also knows how the decisions we make in production will affect our cast and crew and it's great to have that sort of insight."
Although a recent tax-credit dispute has raised the question of whether House of Cards will film its upcoming third season in Baltimore, Willimon wouldn't reveal whether he thought that would be resolved.
"We've made Maryland our home and we love shooting there," he said.
STORY: Kevin Spacey on Studio 54, Lost Gigs, That Threesome and 16 Other Things Left Out of THR's Cover Story
Spacey's producing partner Brunetti told THR that his colleague is good at maintaining a divide between being a producer and an actor when he's taking on both roles.
"The lines do cross occasionally but not any time that it turns into a problem, so he's very good at understanding both roles and positions," Brunetti said.
Meanwhile, during his speech, Spacey told Brunetti, "The best decision I ever made was hiring you."
"Dana was my assistant for a number of years, and I quickly realized that he was a guy who was so much more qualified than the guy f---ing walking my dog and getting my laundry," Spacey explained, noting that Brunetti did a good job with the laundry and dog-walking.

He also recalled how he told Brunetti to move to LA and run their film company, Trigger Street Productions, while he went to London to be the artistic director at The Old Vic theater.
"I went, 'Hey, Dana, so, look, why don't you come to L.A. [Brunetti lived in New York at the time] and run the film company? OK? And here's what I'm gonna do: I'm gonna go to London to run a theater company for 10 years. Good luck!' " he said. "It was not funny at the f---ing time. Now it's slightly funny."
Spacey ended his speech by talking about his relationship with his late friend and mentor Lemmon. After first meeting the legendary actor during a workshop when he was 13, where Lemmon told Spacey he should move to New York and become an actor, Spacey crossed paths with Lemmon again, 12 years later, when Spacey managed to talk his way into auditioning to play Lemmon's son in a Broadway production of Long Day's Journey Into Night. Spacey got the part and spent a year of his life working with his idol, whom he'd later collaborate with on other projects, including the movie version of Glengarry Glen Ross. But it was Lemmon's personal philosophy about helping others once you've become successful that Spacey said still sticks with him.
"He said, 'If you've done well in the business you want to do well in, then it is your obligation to spend a good portion of your time sending the elevator back down,'" Spacey said imitating Lemmon. "That is why the logo for my foundation is the universal button you push to send the elevator up. So there isn't a day that goes by when I'm not enormously grateful for the people that believed in me and gave me a chance. And I know in my heart that if we all just keep a little bit of a Lemmon clause in our hearts, we're going to be OK."

Best and Worst plus a shout out of the week
An extra shout out to Ken Griffey, Jr. Perhaps the Greatest Ball player of the Modern era, an era plagued by cheaters and lies. Ken Griffey, Jr . Gave the sport his all, often suffering season ending injuries as a result, but still managed to be one of the sports best hitters. While men like Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa dominated the Home Run races if the late 90's early 2000's he quietly did his job. While they and Roger Clemens apparently used performance enhancing drugs to keep their careers going after they started to decline Ken Griffey, Jr allowed nature to do it's thing. So at 40 years old the Kid retired from the sport of baseball. Looking no older or bigger then the day he joined the MLB. Over the course of his career he hit 630 Home Runs, 1,836 RBI's and 2,781 Hits. This is a man who had he been healthy likely would have broken Aaron's record with out any controversy.
This weeks Worst Person of the Week, well there were a few I could have picked Bud Selig for not wiping the blown call off the books. Could have picked George W. Bush for confessing to torturing terror suspects and saying he'd do it again despite the CIA releasing info stating that nothing was gained. But instead I am going with Niecy Nash. She went after an author who moved next door to Sarah Palin and accusing her of using Nazi like tactics against him. Niecy was right to go after his use of the Nazi's but where has she been. The Extreme Right aka The Tea Party and several Fox News commentators and the Fat Man Rush Limbaugh have been throwing the Word Nazi around like it was the latest big thing. They have repeatedly called President Obama and Liberals like myself Nazi's. The Nazi's were likely the worst group in the entire history of the planet having killed 6 million Men, Woman and Children. Nothing I have done, my family has done, the Democrats in office have done or President Obama has done even come close to the horror that was the Nazi Party. By not speaking out against them for their use of the word Nazi's but going after an author who happens to be writing a book on Sarah Palin You make it seem as if it is ok for some people to call people Nazi's but not others. How but you call out Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and other members of the Tea Party.

Rogue Addresses the Black Spider-Man campaign
Falcon - Captain America's friend with Captain America coming to film why not bring him to.
Bishop - With The popularity of the X Men Trilogy, and Wolverine along with the upcoming X Men First Class, Wolverine 2, and Magneto who not include Bishop, the Mutant from the Future who comes back to Join the X Men.
Black Panther - A Later Member of the Avengers, and we have an Avenger's film coming. Why not set him up for an Avenger's Sequel.
Luke Cage - He has ties to The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and Iron Man. He's Bullet Proof with Super human strength and healing abilities.
We have James "Rhodey" Rhodes aka War Machine, but he's cast. Plus many more I didn't name.
So please instead of alienating hardcore Spider-Man fans by doing something different pick a little used character to Highlight and Mr. David Glover nothing against you buddy, but why not look through the catalog of African American Superheros and pitch an idea to bring one of them to the limelight.

Rogue's Best and Worst People of the week
Best Person of the Week: Not just one person is my Person of the week, I have three. This weeks Best People are J. J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, and
Carlton Cuse. You three just wrapped up Lost, which ran it's series finale on Sunday, which was for 6 years one of the best shows on TV. You didn't hold back when it came to telling the story be it through Flash Backs, Flash Forwards, or Flash Sideways. You even took a show about people on a strange island and went scifi with it adding Time travel. Lost was a hell of a ride and after 6 years it was a show I hated to lose. Thank you Mr. Abrams, Mr. Lindelof, and Mr. Cuse you guys are my Best People of the Week.
Worst Person of the Week: Glenn Beck - This hasn't been a good week for Mr. Beck, he's been doing his usual bit but went a bit far with the notion the Obama Administration is out to get him. But what makes you my worst person of the week, nothing in this world I hate more then hypocrites. You started things out by saying politicians families should be off limits when talking about an author who moved in next door to Mrs. Palin, I don't call people who quit before their first term is over Governor, I'll agree with that their families aren't running for office no reason to attack them. But then Mr. Hypocrite just hours later attacks and mocks an 11 year old Girl who just so happens to be the daughter of President Obama. You can't have it both ways Mr. Beck, you can't protect Mrs. Pailn's family and then attack President Obama's. You sir are my worst Person of the week.

On this week's episode of Suzanne Somers Breaking Through on the CafeMom Studios YouTube channel, Suzanne sat down with hematologist/oncologist Dr. Dipnarine Maharaj to talk about a curious term: "cancer resistance." As in, how some people actually seem to be immune from getting cancer. You know, like that person who smoked a pack a day and lived to 90? It's definitely an intriguing phenomenon worth exploring, and what's more, it seems like there's a really promising link between cancer resistance and a possible cure for cancer down the road.
Dr. Maharaj discussed about how young people have optimal immunity that guards against cancer and made a case for banking stem cells when you're young and healthy, so that you can reap the benefits of those stem cells later on when you age and become more cancer-prone. But then, he confirmed something even more miraculous.
In related animal research, white blood cells from mice that were "cancer resistant" were injected into mice with cancer ... and the cancer regressed! Amazing! Check out the whole conversation here ...
It's great to hear that there are steps we can be taking right now to boost our immunity and guard against cancer, such as focusing on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and managing stress (like Dr. Maharaj says, that is so underestimated!). You know, treating our body like a Maserati! But the idea that researchers might be able to tap into this preliminary research to create a natural cure for cancer is completely mind-blowing. When Maharaj says these initial results are simply "encouraging," it sounds like the understatement of the year.
Want to get more of Suzanne Somers Breaking Through? Check out the new video series on the CafeMom Studios YouTube Channel! A new episode will appear every Thursday, but you can subscribe right there in case you forget!
What do you think about this research? Do you think it sounds like it could lead to a cure for cancer?

Mad Men is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. As I was not alive during the 60's and 70's, I found it fascinating to get a glimpse of what the advertising world was like during those times. Things have changed so much since then. The rapid advancements in technology, the rise of digital marketing, and gender equality are a couple of the transformative changes that have taken place. This blog will analyze a recent gender bias study conducted by Unilever which took a look at how women are portrayed in advertisements. (more…)

When we leave the house every morning and get on the highway, what is the first thing we see on the road? Billboards? You guessed it! Of course, it's not just billboards that are visible outside of our homes. Ads on public transportation, at the Houston METRORail, and on any free space advertisers are able and willing to purchase. We speak so often about digital media, social media specifically, and the huge impact it is having on marketing and the world in general, it seems only fair that we level out the conversation and discuss a bit about how other media advertising strategies (Out-of-Home advertising) are faring in comparison.

AT Mission 261, in the century-old building that once served as San Gabriel's first city hall, waiters in suave gray suits are taking orders for steamed chicken breast rolled around bamboo pith and custard-filled dumplings shaped like tiny rabbits -- a very au courant sort of dim sum in Hong Kong.
Now that a quarter of a million people of Chinese ancestry live in this area, our local Chinese food scene is buzzing with energy. From Monterey Park and the Alhambra-San Gabriel-Rosemead corridor to Rowland Heights and beyond, suburban Chinese neighborhoods are home to a lively, ever-changing crop of restaurants and talented chefs.
"Trends among Chinese restaurants often mirror with what is going on in Taipei, Hong Kong and, to a lesser extent, mainland Chinese cities," observes Carl Chu, author of "Chinese Food Finder: Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley." A recent wave of overseas-owned restaurants, including hand-pulled noodle shops, sweet shops and seafood houses, he says, "illustrates a focal shift from the mom-and-pop eateries of yesteryear."
To say the least, it wasn't always like this.
And so it begins
OUR first Chinese restaurants, probably opened in the 1860s, when L.A. was a cow town of about 5,000 inhabitants, didn't have all the rare ingredients available now. There were no trained chefs, either -- the cooks were just men who had come here to be gold miners or railroad workers and decided to open chow-chows (cook shacks marked with a traditional yellow banner).
