Information updated June 9, 2008
Click Here for Advice to Consumers
CDC is collaborating with public health officials in many states, the Indian Health Service, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate an ongoing multi-state outbreak of human Salmonella serotype Saintpaul infections. An epidemiologic investigation conducted by the New Mexico and Texas Departments of Health and the Indian Health Service using interviews comparing foods eaten by ill and well persons has identified consumption of raw tomatoes as the likely source of the illnesses in those states. The specific type and source of tomatoes is under investigation; however, the data suggest that large tomatoes, including Roma and round red, are the source.
Since mid-April, 167 persons infected with Salmonella Saintpaul with the same genetic fingerprint have been identified in 17 states: Arizona (12 persons), California (2), Colorado (1), Connecticut (1), Idaho (2), Illinois (27), Indiana (7), Kansas (5), Michigan (2), New Mexico (39), Oklahoma (3), Oregon (3), Texas (56), Utah (1), Virginia (2), Washington (1), and Wisconsin (3). These were identified because clinical laboratories in all states send Salmonella strains from ill persons to their State public health laboratory for characterization. Among the 73 persons who have been interviewed, illnesses began between April 16 and May 27, 2008. Patients range in age from 1 to 82 years; 49% are female. At least 23 persons were hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.
Only 3 persons infected with this strain of Salmonella Saintpaul were identified in the country during the same period in 2007. The previous rarity of this strain and the distribution of illnesses in all U.S. regions suggest that the implicated tomatoes are distributed throughout much of the country. Because of inherent delays in reporting and because many persons with Salmonella illness do not have a stool specimen tested, it is likely many more illnesses have occurred than those reported. Some of these unreported illnesses may be in states that are not on today's map.
Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12–72 hours after infection. Infection is usually diagnosed by culture of a stool sample. The illness usually lasts 4 – 7 days. Although most people recover without treatment, severe infections may occur. Infants, elderly persons, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely than others to develop severe illness. When severe infection occurs, Salmonella may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other body sites, and can cause death. In these severe cases, antibiotic treatment may be necessary.
At this time, FDA is advising U.S. consumers to limit their tomato consumption to those that are not the likely source of this outbreak. These include cherry tomatoes; grape tomatoes; tomatoes sold with the vine still attached; tomatoes grown at home; and raw red Roma, red plum, and round red tomatoes from specific sources listed at: http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html*. Consumers should be aware that raw tomatoes are often used in the preparation of fresh salsa, guacamole, and pico de gallo, are part of fillings for tortillas, and are used in many other dishes.
Customers everywhere are advised to:
FDA recommends that U.S. retail outlets, restaurants, and food service operators offer only fresh and fresh cut red Roma, red plum, and round red tomatoes and food products made from these tomatoes from specific sources listed at: http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/tomatoes.html#retailers*. Cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, and tomatoes sold with the vine still attached from any source may be offered.

Creme Chantilly
Crème Chantilly is a lovely name for lightly sweetened whipped cream that is flavored with vanilla. Because confectioners' sugar is so fine, it dissolves almost instantly, ensuring a smooth, creamy result. Chill the bowl, whisk (or beaters) and cream before whipping, and whip only until soft peaks form. Heavenly!
* An electric mixer may also be used. Combine the cream, confectioners' sugar and vanilla in the chilled bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high speed just until soft peaks form.
Make It Ahead: Crème Chantilly may be stored, tightly sealed, in the refrigerator for several hours. If the cream begins to soften, gently whip as necessary.
Based on a recipe from "On Cooking: Techniques from Expert Chefs", 2nd edition, by Sarah R. Labensky and Alan M. Hause (Prentice Hall, 1999).

Simple Amibroker AFL code
Бюджет €30-250 EUR
I am looking for AFL code for Amibroker to backtest my strategy. Idea of this strategy is to trade on specifically stated dates. The strategy should look in file with dates (example file is attached) and take trade on matching date – Buy / Sell on open and Sell / Cover on close. I will change the dates in source file so there is not specifically given amount of dates (lines) in the file.
Software: Amibroker
Timeframe: Daily
Vehicle: Futures (ES, NQ…) and equities (stock from Nasdaq 100, S&P 100… and ETFs)
Mode: Backtest
Two versions of the code:
a) Maximum amount of open positions – 4 per day (1/4 of the account size)
b) No limit for open positions per day (to test the general context of the situation. For example how markets react on the first day of the month)

A while back, I was sitting in the chow hall at the pen, talking with a young (early 20s) prisoner who was having relationship problems. You see, he'd gotten involved with a woman through the mail. A literal pen-pal. Nice woman. Little older than him, but still hot. And she really liked him. A month after their first face-to-face visit, she moved to the area so she could see him every week. Two months later, and she wanted to get married. Like in a couple of weeks. He was really flattered, but he was also really kind of freaked out, because things were happening so fast, and what did I think? I told him "DON'T DO IT!" Then I brought in another of our outside volunteers, a father-figure to the guys, who heard the story and also said, "DON'T DO IT!"
Hybristophilia is defined as a sexual fixation on "a partner known to have committed an outrage, cheating, lying, known infidelities or crime, such as rape, murder, or armed robbery." All right, Wikipedia says its a sexual perversion, but you tell that to the people who are into it. Plus, there's not a lot of actual sex involved.
(Maximum-security prisons don't allow conjugal visits. Nor do federal prisons of any level. And only four states - California, Connecticut, New York, and Washington allow conjugal visits in lesser-security prisons.)
And God knows there's not a lot of money involved, either. If anything, money is generally going to flow from the outsider to the prisoner. Money to help pay for the prisoner's phone time, stamps, commissary, odds and ends... In fact, and forgive me for bursting anyone's bubble out there, but one of the main reasons that a lot of prisoners write to outsiders in a friendly to ever-increasing romantic vein is specifically to get money. And they're often very successful.
BTW, prisoners also write attorneys, of course, to get help, and they send judges either bogus lawsuits or outright threats. I remember at the courthouse, whenever something from the pen arrived for the judge, we'd all gather around - judge, court reporter, myself (circuit administrator), state's attorney, bailiff, etc. - and read the latest idiocy. My favorite was a lawsuit demanding that the sheriff depose each and every officer of the court for high crimes and misdemeanors, listing everyone by name. Except the judge. Finally, at the very end, there was a little handwritten note saying, "____, sorry I forgot you, asshole!" You've got to be fairly stupid to send out stuff like that, not to mention "I'm going to take a shotgun to your head" to a judge, when your full name, prisoner number, and cell number is on the envelope...So, no sex, no money - why would someone get involved with a prisoner? Why would someone write love letters to a total stranger? Want to date them, through a glass/mesh screen? Want to marry them in the visitors' room? ???
Well, in some cases, there's the fame factor. For those who write/wrote to Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, the Menendez brothers, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, part of the charm, apparently, is getting in on the modern obsession with celebrity. No, it doesn't matter how horrendous the person is, or how heinous their acts, by God if they're famous, they're a celebrity, and by becoming their girlfriend/boyfriend, you become a celebrity, too! You might get in on the media spotlight, get a book deal, a movie deal, or the body!
|Charles Manson in 2014
- NOTE: Not kidding about the body. Did you know that, in 2015, at 80 years old, Charles Manson cancelled his upcoming penitentiary wedding to 27-year old Afton Elaine Burton, now known as Star, because he found out she was hoping that, after he died, she'd get his corpse, put it on display in a glass case in LA, and charge people to see it? (Charles Manson has always been a little smarter and saner than he looks.)
- DOUBLE NOTE: With regard to my last blog-post, Bullying 101, where I talked about Rush Limbaugh (and others) objecting to Michelle Carter being convicted of manslaughter for texting her boyfriend to suicide, saying that it's a violation of the First Amendment to "start penalizing people for things they say or things that they think, but don't actually do": Let's all remember that Charles Manson got life in prison without parole, for exactly what he said, and nothing that he did. He was nowhere near either of the murder scenes. So far, I haven't heard anyone objecting to his sentencing...
Anyway, back to reasons why people want to write to, date, have sex (or not) with, and/or marry prisoners. According to Katherine Ramsland, professor of forensic psychology at DeSales University,
BTW, men also write to female prisoners. I think many of them are also looking for the perfect girlfriend, who requires nothing (but a little money). I also think that some of them are looking for a future drug mule or sex slave, and a female prison is a good place to recruit: many female prisoners have already been so abandoned, abused, in every sense of the word, and so many of them have father issues, self-image issues, etc., that they are willing to do just about anything for anyone who seems to care for them.
- "Some believe they can change a man as cruel and powerful as a serial killer."
- "Others 'see' the little boy that the killer once was and seek to nurture him."
- "Then there's the notion of the 'perfect boyfriend'. She knows where he is at all times and she knows he's thinking about her. While she can claim that someone loves her, she does not have to endure the day-to-day issues involved in most relationships. There's no laundry to do, no cooking for him, and no accountability to him. She can keep the fantasy charged up for a long time." (Wikipedia)
Of course, there's also the occasional female serial killer, like Aileen Wuornos, who would be perfect for the man who wanted to tell himself that he can nurture the little girl she once was, and/or wants to see if he can change the serial killer the way James Bond changed Pussy Galore on the last page of "Goldfinger". (Even at twelve years old, I knew that was nothing but Ian Fleming's fantasy...)
Meanwhile, I talk to guys up here in South Dakota who are in their 20s and already have anywhere from two to nine children by two or three or four different women, and now have a girlfriend they met while in the pen. They don't even begin to grasp how much trouble they're in even before they get out. I understand why they keep having sex whenever they can - it's fun, free, and so far isn't illegal - but why won't they use condoms? How are they going to support all those children? How are they going to pay child support, make court-ordered restitution, and pay bills when they'll be lucky to get a minimum-wage job? Sigh...
Not that our hybristophiliacs necessarily have any idea of the prior commitments their new prison romance has. After all, it's the rare prisoner who's going to cough up things like ex-wives, current wives, children, and any other financial obligations or debts. Or their personality flaws. Or the truth about their crime(s)... Hybristophilia is somewhere between kinky romance and lion-taming. Either way, it's dangerous. Either way, it's unreal. (You don't really know someone until you've actually lived with them, and even then it helps if you've been together through a bad vacation complete with rain, food poisoning, broken-down car, and a fleabag motel with no heat.) Yes, there are exceptions, where two people genuinely connect through letters and visits; where the prisoner eventually gets out, and they do marry/live together and it all works out. Two points: (1) These are very rare. (2) None of these have been with serial killers.
But the fantasy lives on.

…And It's Only Just the Beginning!
Yanks Up 2 Games to None in Intentisy-Packed ALDS
I'm going to be honest: I didn't expect my Yankees to be up 2 games to none after the first two games against the Twins at Target Field, for a number of reasons: 1) The Twins had the best record at home, even better than my Yanks. 2) The Yankees had to face a tough lefty in Francisco Liriano in game 1, after losing their last 9 games against lefty starters. 3) I didn't know what the Yankee starters would give, since CC was on extra rest and Andy had iffy starts after his injury. Add all that together, as well as adding the fact that the Yankees were horrible down the stretch, and the thought of elimination in the first round wasn't too crazy. But after these first two games, I am confident in my Yankees's ability to move on to the next round. They have proven to me that te regular season did not matter: the postseason is a brand new season, and they are going to make the most of it – just like last year.
I was worried in game 1, because CC Sabathia was not sharp, and the Yankee offense struggled mightily against Francisco Liriano – up until the 6th inning, that is. Down 3-0, with 1 out, Mark Teixeira doubled and Alex Rodriguez walked. Robinson Cano drove in Teixeira with an RBI single, and FINALLY, my Yankees were on the board. My family and I were starting to get excited.
Then it was Jorge Posada's turn, and he delivered with an RBI single to score A-Rod, which made it 3-2. Out of her excitement, my Grandma, once again butchered a Yankee's name. After Jorge singled, she yelled. "OOH NOW IT'S 3-2!!!! A SINGLE!!! A-ROD SCORED!!! OOH SAPADO!!!!"
You can guess what happened next.
My entire family broke into hysterics, and so did Grandma, once she realized we were laughing at her. She did her typical laugh: hands over heart, hysterical, laughing so hard we couldn't even hear her. It was that silent laughter, the kind that happens when something is just SO funny. Through the laughs, she said, "Ooh POSADA!!!!" Yes, Grandma…POSADA…not SAPODO. He's been on the team for how long now? But that doesn't matter…she butchers everyone's name. For more info, check out this post dedicated to my Grandma and her…interesting names for the Yankees: http://southernbelle.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/08/grandma-makes-me-laugh.html
LOL, good job Sapodo!!!
Anyway, the Yankees had inched closer, and everyone now believed they could win.
My sweet Curtis Granderson delivered witn a clutch 2-run triple to give the Yanks a 4-3 lead. It was so clutch, I screamed for like an hour. My throat still kind of hurts.
After taking the lead in te 6th, my Yankees never looked back. Actually that's not true: CC Sabathia walked in a run in the 6th, tying up the game at 4. But no biggy: Mark Teixeira added the final blow with his 2-run homer in the 6th, making it a 6-4 Yankee lead. The bullpen closed it out, and my Yanks came back to win the first game of this ALDS 6-4.
Game 1 was so stressful. After the game I was so exhausted. I said to Grandma, "Thank GOD we won."
She said, "Yeah. But it's only the first game!"
True. If game 1 of the ALDS was so intense, what would the rest of the postseason be like? It was only just the beginning!
I was stressed out before game 2, because I had no idea what Andy Pettitte would do. My Dad said, "Don't worry about Andy…He's ANDY. He'll give it his all and pitch a hell of a game just like he always does."
Aw, Andy….you are such a cutie ♥
Well, Daddy was right, just like always. Andy did pitch a gem: 7 innings of 2-run ball, and just 88 pitches. And he received offensive support from his buddy Lance Berkman. I was hoping that Lance would do big things in the postseason, since Andy cracked him up to be a postseason clutch machine. He did. Game 2 was Lance's Yankee moment. He drove in 2 of their 5 runs, with a monster opposite-field home run, and an RBI double the other way. Thank you, Lance!
FAT ELVIS HAS LEFT THE YARD!!!! Damn…he looks kinda sexy with high socks…♥
The Heroes for these ALDS Victories are my cutie-Curtis Granderson, for his extreme clutchness, Lance Berkman, for the same reason, and Andy Pettitte, for doing what he always does. Now the Yankees head back home to the Bronx, where they look for some of that good old Yankee Stadium Magic to spark them to another victory.
The Somebody Needs a Hug goes to…..the Twins! I want them to lose, don't get me wrong, but I kind of pity them. They ALWAYS lose to the Yankees…it must be haunting their minds. Oh well…it's really not my problem. And let's be fair: It really ain't over till it's over.
Remember…it's only just the beginning.

GUBBIO, Italy (Reuters) - European banks have asked the European Commission to postpone the introduction of tougher global bank capital rules by a year to 2014 after U.S. regulators delayed application of the new requirements.
The new rules, known as Basel III, are the world's regulatory response to the 2007-09 financial crisis and would force banks to triple the amount of basic capital they hold in a bid to avoid future taxpayer bailouts.
The European Banking Federation sent a letter on November 21 to EU Internal Market Commissioner Michel Barnier, formally requesting a delay on the grounds that EU banks would be at a competitive disadvantage if they introduced the new rules before their U.S. counterparts.
"We are now very troubled over the possible repercussions that the most recent statement from the US Authorities may have for the international competitiveness of Europe's banks," the letter, made available to Reuters on Saturday, said.
It said EU banks were facing sweeping regulatory changes including new capital requirements and liquidity buffers, and the creation of a EU supervisory authority.
"All the while, our U.S. competitors will not have matching obligations imposed on them in parallel, or in a foreseeable future," it said, asking for the introduction of the new rules to be delayed to January1, 2014.
European banks have long complained that protracted negotiations on the new rules meant they would not have enough time to start implementing them from next year, as planned.
Now they have stepped up calls for a postponement, arguing the recent U.S. decision to delay application of Basel III risked creating a trend whereby Europe tightens the regulatory noose around its banks while other jurisdictions hold back.
A spokesman for Barnier said the EU would seek a coordinated stance with the United States.
"We will wrap up negotiations in the coming weeks between countries and parliament (on Basel III) and Michel Barnier will seek clarity from the U.S. and work for a coordinated U.S.-EU approach. Basel 3 norms are important for sound and competitive banks in Europe."
When asked about the possibility of a delay, the spokesman said: "The important thing now is to conclude trilogue (talks between commission, EU countries and the European parliament) so that the EU can start applying Basel 3 rules in 2013. In any case, the various norms come into force gradually up until 2019."
The Basel III rules are meant to be phased in from January 2013 but U.S. regulators cast doubt on the timeframe due to a flood of industry comments on the proposals.
"Basel III must be postponed, full stop" said the head of Italy's banking association ABI, Giuseppe Mussari, at a conference in the central Italian town of Gubbio.
"Clearly there is no worldwide agreement, so we wouldn't be starting on a level playing field."
However, the head of Germany's financial regulator warned this week against a staggered or delayed introduction of the rules.

|California has struggled with the gap in achievement between the socio-economically disadvantaged (SED) and non-SED subgroups. In 2005, the California School Board implemented a policy titled Algebra for All. Algebra for All is the policy on which hopes are pinned to improve mathematics education and student achievement in California. The intent of the policy was to close the gap within the two subgroups in two areas. The first area was the access to higher level mathematics courses, beginning with Algebra I; the second area was increased student achievement in Algebra I. ❧ In this study the effects of the Algebra for All policy on SED student opportunity to learn and Algebra I achievement in comparison to a non-SED subgroup in the largest 22 unified school districts in California were investigated. STAR results from 2005 and 2010 in both subgroups were compared. The results of this study support the following four conclusions: ❧ 1. The effect of the 2005 Algebra for All mandate on both district participation rates and the opportunity gap was minimal. ❧ 2. Statewide, the trend was towards increased Algebra I success rates in both the SED and the NSED subgroups, thus, there was little change in the success gap. ❧ 3. Statewide, median SED participation in Algebra I or Geometry was .69 and a gap between the SED and non-SED subgroups of 5% or more remained in 13 districts. From this information, it can be inferred that Algebra for All did not have its intended effect on participation rates and the opportunity gap. ❧ 4. Six districts had SED success rates that exceeded 59%. Thirteen districts had NSED success rates that exceeded 59%. While the success rates were higher than those that are generally reported, it is important to remember that success was defined in this study as "Basic or Above" rather than "Proficient and Above." Even with this more lenient definition of success, in 10 of 22 districts the success rates fell below 50%. Nonetheless, because the success rates for the SED and NSED subgroups were highly correlated within districts, the median gap was only 6%.

Post subject:
I recently acquired a Speed Graphic camera off of eBay, Serial #829340, as well as a Graflite flash NO.2773 from a seperate auction. Basically, I'm having trouble getting the flash to sync with the shutter properly, and I was hoping someone might be able to help. Here are links to photos of the camera, lens, and flash. Please bear with the slow server. It's at my house and I don't have much upload bandwidth.
First off, the lens is a Graflex Optar f/4.7 135mm. The shutter says "Grafex" on it and that it's made by Wollensak for Graflex. It has a bi-post sync connector. The flash sync selector switch has M(in white), M(in red), F-X, and OFF. The shutter speeds appear to be acurate from 1/25 to 1/200 and maybe 1/400. However, the shutter is sticky from 1/10 and slower. So it definitely needs to be cleaned and tuned up.
Next, I'm using the Graflite 2773 flash, which is a 3-cell flash. Using a volt meter, I've verified that I'm getting 4.5 volts at the flash head when the "Shutter" contacts are connected with a piece of wire. Currentley I don't have a "real" sync cord yet, but I do have one on the way from Paramount. In the meantime, to connect the flash to the shutter, I've commandeered an old household appliance cord. To connect it to the bi-post contacts on the shutter, I'm simply using alligator clips. Also, the rotary switch on the flash is set to "N".
Alright, now what I find weird is that when testing the voltage of the flash head with the flash connected to the shutter as just described and tripping the shutter, I barely get over 1 volt. Furthermore, everytime I cock the shutter, I'm getting a spike in voltage as well. So my first question is, am I supposed to be getting a 4.5 volt output at the flash head when the shutter is tripped? Perhaps it's such a quick burst of voltage that the voltmeter cannot accurately read it. Anyway, is it normal for the voltage to spike when the shutter is cocked? There have actually been times that the flash bulb has gone off when I've cocked the shutter.
Moving on, even though the voltage levels don't quite make sense to me, I've actually shot several polaroid tests using GE#5 flash bulbs(I already have another 4x5 camera made by Toyo and a Polaroid 545 back). None of the Polaroids have been properly exposed.
Here's my test setup. I placed the camera on a tripod ten feet from a white wall at night with a framed photo and a mirror hung on it. There was one table lamp turned on in the room about 15 feet from the wall that really wouldn't affect the exposure, so I simply ignored this. My Polaroid film is rated at 100ASA, so according to the flash box information, my guide number at 1/100 is 220, and my test shot at 10 feet should be properly exposed at f/22. I set the sync selector switch to M(in white) and verified that the focal plane shutter was open. Unfortunately, the frame was completely black. So, I tried another shot at f/4.7 and this was black, except that I could see the flash in the mirror.
So, I thought that maybe the 1/100 speed was inaccurate. So I changed my shutter speed to 1/25, set the sync selector switch to M(in red), and tried another test shot. According to the information on the flash box, my new guide number at 1/25 is 280. Thus, a proper exposure at 10 feet should be f/28. Well, this was black as well. So I did another test shot at this shutter speed but with f/4.7. Once again, the subject was black except for the flash bulb light in the mirror.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what's going on? Is this shutter simply waaaaaay out of whack that it's not syncing properly? I have yet to try x-sync only because I don't have a proper cord to connect to my Metz-54MZ and I'm unwilling to cut the current one that I do have. Perhaps I'll order a PC-to-bipost cord from Paramount in order to do an x-sync test. But that defeats what I want to do, which is to use flash bulbs with this camera.
Alright...I'm sorry that this post is so long. It's just that I wanted to be as thorough as possible and to let you all know that I've really been trying to think this through. If anybody has any ideas that I'm possibly not thinking of, I'd really appreaciate the time in reading this post and responding. Thank you.

I'm not sure what's goin on. to eliminate other factors using the same set up, I'd try one polaroid at the proper aperture but set the shutter on bulb and pop the flash manually. This will eliminate the shutter, the polaroid back, etc. It's a pretty standard rule to cock the shutter before you put the flash bulb in just because cocking the shutter may close the contacts. The Synchro Compur shutters keep the contacts closed when the shutter is tripped, so if you try to change out the bulbs before cocking the shutter, you'll have a flashbulb with your finger prints in it and one startled photographer.

Well, thanks for the replies. However, I think I'm dead in the water now. I came home from work to test out your ideas, and after everything was ready, I put in a bulb and BAM! The thing went off in my face and singed my fingers. So...after a little investigation, my shutter is shot because the bi-posts now have constant conductivity no matter what I do. Even if I turn the sync selector switch off, there's still condictivity. I ended up opening the shutter and my initial guess is that the insulator between the two copper strips is wearing through. Yet, that could simply be one of many problems that I'm not prepared or skilled to tackle.
Anyway, I called SK Grimes earlier today and they weren't very optimistic about the Grafex shutter. Apparently, they don't have any parts for them so rebuilding a Grafex is pretty much out of the equation. They suggested putting the lens in a new shutter, which I'm not a big fan of. My idea is to keep the camera vintage. So my options at this point are to find another vintage shutter to put this lens in or to find a vintage lens/shutter combination already together. Not sure what I'll do yet.
Thanks again. I'll try to keep you posted as to my progress.

I HATE it when that happens!! but be glad is was a bulb and not flash powder! Many a photographer got more than singed fingers when they hurried to get that next shot and the hot pan set off not only the powder the guy (always a guy) was pouring in the pan, but usually the bottle of flash powder too!

Mike, if you got the brush-off from Grimes then your next option is Fred Lustig. He has the parts and the know-how to fix
Graphex shutters. He isn't on the Web so you'll need to call him at 775-746-0111 (he's in Reno, NV). Many of us on the board have had Mr. Lustig work on our Graflex stuff and "he the man."

I wouldn't give up on that shutter yet. I had to do a minor repair on the flash contacts on one shutter and it wasn't too hard. On mine anyway as I didn't have to disassemble the whole thing.
It just might be possibe that the contacts are stuck together or the thin sheild paper slipped out from between the two fingers.
As I remember, it's fairly easy to get to those fingers with only taking the front cover off.
If you want to give it a look, there's a service manual available at:
under gralfex manuals.
Another option would be Carol Flutot (sorry if that's misspelled). If you search here or on the net you'll be able to find the web address and contact info. She seems to have a great reputation for fixing and CLA of old shutters.

Success!!!! Well....kinda...
For those that are interested, I thought I'd follow up on my story. Basically, I ended up calling Fred Lustig and sent him the shutter for repair. The good news is that he was able to clean and repair the shutter for accurate speeds. However, the insulator strip between the flexible copper flash contacts was broken, and he said that he's not able to repair that. So...I have a shutter that is working with the exception of flash capabilities.
But with that said, he said that he did have a spare Graphex shutter that he's willing to sell me. I said alright,. So he ended up cleaning that one and sent it to me. Success.
When I received the new shutter the other day, I placed it on my camera, loaded up a flash bulb and some polaroid film, and BINGO! My very first shot was perfectly exposed. I'm real excited now.
So that's it. Fred did a fantastic job and was a pleasure to talk to on the phone. I only wish that he worked a little faster, but I understand his situation and held my patience. In the end, everything turned out great.

The open source cloud computing market has been heating up in the last year with momentum for OpenStack building, Citrix CloudStack spinning out of OpenStack to be its own project and Eucalyptus slowly gaining tractions. But a new report from cloud management company Zenoss finds slow adoption of these open source platforms so far.
In the survey of more than 600 members of Zenoss' open source community, fewer than 1 in 5, 18%, said they have deployed an open source cloud management platform. Maturity of the projects, lack of support and security were the top-cited reasons for the lack of adoption.

OPENSTACK GETS NO LOVE: Gartner report slams OpenStack
Of users that do deploy open source cloud platforms, OpenStack is the most commonly deployed platform, claiming almost 50% market share among these users surveyed. The project, backed by Rackspace, HP, Dell, IBM, Cisco and other tech heavyweights, has come under some criticism recently from Gartner. The project recently released its sixth version of the OpenStack code.
CloudStack, which is backed by Citrix but managed by the Apache Software Foundation, is the second most popular with 19% of adoption, followed by Eucalyptus at below 10%. Despite the low adoption rates, 43% of respondents said they are thinking about deploying an open source cloud in the future.
The report notes some other interesting figures about overall cloud adoption, finding that VMware is the dominant hypervisor in the enterprise, powering three-quarters of virtualized environments. KVM, Microsoft Hyper-V and Xen each followed in terms of their prominence, with about one-fifth of respondents noting they use those hypervisors. Only 16% also said they were using a platform as a service (PaaS), although 30% of those who said they are not said they are interested. As a comparison, another recent survey of more than 750 respondents by North Bridge Venture Capital partner Michael Skok found that 82% of users were using a software as a service (SaaS) application. A Gartner report recently found that SaaS has by far the most investments in it so far, with it being a $14 billion industry compared to the $6 billion infrastructure as a service (IaaS) market and the $1.2 billion PaaS market.

Lesson Plan
Behind the Scenes With Cinderella
|3 – 5
|Lesson Plan Type
|Estimated Time
|Approximately seven 45- to 60-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Ellensburg, Washington
The Cinderella story most familiar to students is based on a 17th-century French version by Charles Perrault, but there are similar stories told all around the world. Students compare the classic tale with a version set in the preCivil War South, Moss Gown by William Hooks, noting the architecture, weather, time period, and culture as depicted in the text and illustrations. Internet research projects and Story Map graphic organizers then provide background for a discussion of how the setting of a story affects the characters and plot. Students read one or more other versions of the Cinderella story and compare them using a Venn diagram. During the final two sessions, students plan, write, and peer edit their own Cinderella stories.
Retelling the Cinderella Story: This website offers suggestions of versions of the Cinderella story from around the world.

The Central Connecticut women's basketball team dropped a wild overtime contest to Saint Francis U on Monday night. The Blue Devils (6-6, 0-2 NEC) and Red Flash (3-10, 1-1 NEC) were tied 85-85 at the end of regulation with the Flash eventually pulling away for a 106-97 victory.
The game featured 74 total fouls and 102 combined free throws with Saint Francis connecting on 40-of-62 free throw attempts and the Blue Devils hitting 27-of-40.
Eight players score in double-digits, including four that reached 20 points. CCSU senior Lauren Arbogast led the Blue Devils with 24 points. Senior Jaleen Thomas (14) and sophomore Raven Makins (18) also reached double-digits on the night. The 18 points for Makins are a new career-high, which shattered her previous high of six points that she set early this season.
The 97 points that the Blue Devils scored are the second highest total for a game in the program's 28-year Division I era. They are also the most scored in the seven seasons under head coach Beryl Piper.
The Blue Devils trailed the Red Flash early in the first half, but battled back to take the lead behind 10 points from Makins. Makins drove the lane to give CCSU a 29-27 lead with 7:19 left in the first half. She followed with a layup on CCSU's next possession and then added six more points over the next six minutes to help the Blue Devils take a 44-41 lead into the half.
The Red Flash held an 84-81 lead with 54 seconds left to play following a free throw by Erin Blaine. Senior Jessica Babe cut the deficit to two points on a free throw with 29 seconds remaining and Saint Francis missed a pair of free throws on its ensuing possession. On CCSU's next possession Babe found Arbogast at the top of the key for a go-ahead three pointer with 20 seconds remaining. However, Babe was whistled for a foul on the next Red Flash possession and Saint Francis' Ali Williams connected on one-of-two free throws to send the game to overtime tied 85-85.
Sophomore Nicole Ferguson knocked down a three-pointer to give the Blue Devils an 88-85 lead on the first possession of overtime, but the Red Flash grabbed a 91-89 lead 80 seconds later and slowly pulled away for the 106-97 victory.
Ali Williams led all scorers with 27 points. Her teammates Bridget Murphy, 24 points, and Alexa Hayward, 20 points, also had strong scoring games.
The Blue Devils have only scored more than 97 points once in their 28 Division I seasons. In November 1986 the Blue Devils defeated Utica 101-82.
The Blue Devils will play a pair of Northeast Conference games on the road next weekend. First at Wagner on Saturday and then at LIU Brooklyn on Monday night.

Here's today's casting news in brief with details to follow:
- The Hunger Games: Catching Fire has added Stephanie Leigh Schlund (The Last Song) to their list of tributes. Schlund will star opposite Jennifer Lawrence in the Francis Lawrence-directed sequel.
- August: Osage County brings in Dermot Mulroney (My Best Friend's Wedding) to join the family that already features Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Juliette Lewis.
- Robin Wright (The Princess Bride) is being courted to star in A Most Wanted Man, an adaptation of the John le Carre novel scripted by Andrew Bovell and directed by Anton Corbijn.
Hit the jump for more details on each project.
Let's get to The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, which, as Deadline reports, adds Schlund as Cashmere, a tribute from District 1. Schlund will star alongside Alan Ritchson, who was recently added as the other District 1 tribute, Gloss. The tributes from District 1 are meant to represent the highest social class in the dystopian Panem and are seen as incredibly attractive. (Nailed it!)
Deadline also reports that Mulroney will join the dysfunctional family in August: Osage County, an adaptation of the Tracy Letts play that will be directed by John Wells (The Company Men). Mulroney will star as Steve, the shady businessman fiance to Lewis' Karen, the delusional youngest daughter of the family. Streep plays Violet, while Roberts plays her daughter, Barbara, with Abigail Breslin playing her daughter, Jean. Margo Martindale (Million Dollar Baby) also joined recently as Violet's daughter, Mattie Fae.
Finally, from Variety comes word that Wright is in talks to star in A Most Wanted Man. The novel centers on an unlikely trio: Issa, a Chechen Muslim who illegally immigrates to Hamburg, Germany; Annabel, an idealistic young German civil rights lawyer and Tommy Brue, a sixty-year-old man who stands to inherit a failing bank. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was previously reported as being attached for the Chechen role, while Rachel McAdams seems to be lined up as the young lawyer. The le Carre novels The Constant Gardener and Tinker Tailor Solider Spy have previously been mined for feature film adaptations.

A great piece in the NY TImes tells how the Pentagon and even Cheney himself recruited, informed, paid, and evaluated dozens of retired military officers to carpet bomb the media and the citizenry with bullshit. Oh, and by the way, it's illegal.
Having just watched more Sunday news shows than a human being should ever have to endure, it is striking — though unsurprising — that not a single one saw fit to mention this NYT story demonstrating that these news programs all fed government propaganda to their viewers. That they refuse to comment on this story and will now black it out says as much about what they really are, and what they really do, as the NYT story itself does.

Isolated non-compaction of the left ventricle

Isolated left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a rare congenital disorder caused by failure of normal embryogenesis of the endocardium and myocardium in utero, resulting in prominent ventricular trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses. Patients may be asymptomatic or may present with refractory cardiac failure. The best modality of diagnosis is based on echocardiographic diagnostic criteria. Prognosis remains poor for patients with impaired systolic left ventricular function, as treatment options are very limited. We report the case of 2-month-old infant presenting with congestive cardiac failure diagnosed as isolated LVNC on echocardiography.
Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a congenital dysfunction of ventricular morphogenesis. The World Health Organization has categorised it as an unclassified cardiomyopathy.[1] It is thought to be the result of an arrest in the normal endomyocardial embryogenesis, which leads to the persistence of intertrabecular recesses and the development of a spongy myocardium.[2] LVNC is now being diagnosed with increasing frequency, either in isolation or combined with congenital heart disease or neuromuscular disorders.[3] Here we report the case of a 2-month-old male infant who presented with congestive heart failure (HF) where isolated LVNC was found on echocardiography.
Case report
A 2-month-old male infant was admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit (ICU) of Krishna Hospital, Karad, with shortness of breath and respiratory distress which commenced one day prior. The baby was born preterm at 30 weeks of gestation to non-consanguineous parents and was admitted for preterm care in the neonatal ICU. The hospital stay was unremarkable and the infant was discharged at a weight of 1.6 kg after 21 days. The baby was asymptomatic thereafter.
On admission the patient had features of congestive HF. Cardiovascular examination revealed a decreased volume peripheral pulse and no obvious murmur was appreciated. There was hepatomegaly 4 cm below the right costal margin. No dysmorphic features were observed. A chest X-ray revealed substantial cardiomegaly. Electrocardiography showed left ventricular overload, but no signs of ventricular arrhythmias. No neuromuscular abnormality was found.
An echocardiogram showed situs solitus, left aortic arch and atrioventricular-ventriculoarterial concordance; pulmonic veins drained normally to the left atrium and inferior vena cava to the right atrium. The inter-atrial and interventricular septums were intact. The left ventricle (LV) was markedly dilated with a severely decreased global systolic function (ejection fraction 30%). Hypertrabeculation was evident with multiple crypts at the apical posterolateral aspects of the LV (Fig. 1). Colour Doppler examination showed prominent LV trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses in continuity with the LV cavity. The ratio of non-compacted to compacted layer of the mycocardium was >2 (Fig. 2).
The patient was treated with inotropes, decongestive therapy and captopril. His condition stabilised within 1 week; he was discharged and prescribed captopril and frusemide, and advised to follow-up regularly.
Non-compaction of the myocardium was first described by Bellet et al., from an autopsy carried out on a newborn in whom aortic atresia and coronary-ventricular fistula were also observed. In 1984, Engberding et al. reported a case with a diagnosis of isolated non-compaction, a condition characterised by the absence of other associated cardiopathies.[4] Although it is a well-known pathology in adults, there are only a few case reports and series in the literature regarding LVNC in children.
The inheritance of isolated LVNC may be sporadic or familial. In familial cases, autosomal dominant inheritance is more common than X-linked inheritance.[5] To date, mutations in seven different genes have been found; however, at present, gene G4.5 (TAZ gene) on the Xq28 chromosomal region identified in neonatal isolated LVNC is the only confirmed disease-causing locus.[6] Owing to a lack of facilities, our patient could not undergo genetic testing.
LVNC represents the persistence of multiple trabeculations in the ventricular myocardium with deep intratrabecular spaces due to arrested compaction of the wall. LVNC is associated with a broad spectrum of clinical and pathophysiological findings with an unclear natural history.[7] The clinical presentation may range from an incidental echocardiographic diagnosis without symptoms to disabling HF. The three most common clinical presentations include HF, arrhythmias and embolic events. Additional presenting symptoms include chest pain and syncope. Our patient presented with HF as seen in 67% of cases. Arrhythmia, rarer in children, manifests as ventricular tachyarrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, left bundle branch block, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, complete heart block and Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome.[8]
Echocardiography is the diagnostic tool of choice for LVNC; however, different echocardiographic criteria are currently been used.[1] Jenni et al.[9] have described criteria that include: (i) the absence of co-existing cardiac abnormalities; (ii) a two-layered structure of the ventricular wall with an end-systolic ratio of non-compacted to compacted layer of >2; (iii) the finding of this morphological presentation in apical and mid-ventricular areas; and (iv) direct blood flow from the ventricular cavity into the deep intertrabecular recesses, as assessed by Doppler echocardiography. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used in the developed world for confirmation of the diagnosis where a non-compacted to compacted myocardium layer ratio >2.3 would reliably diagnose the disease entity.[1] Our diagnosis was made entirely on echocardiography findings, but the use of cardiac MRI can confirm the diagnosis.
The prognosis for patients with LVNC is highly variable; the spectrum ranges from a prolonged, asymptomatic course to rapid, progressive HF. Based on a paediatric case series, LV dysfunction inevitably develops in patients with LVNC over a 10-year period, regardless of the presence of symptoms at the time of diagnosis.[6] The most common causes of death are intractable HF and sudden cardiac death.
The treatment of LVNC consists of management of HF and arrhythmias, and oral anticoagulation to prevent thromboembolic episodes. The use of beta-blockers such as carvedilol has proved to have beneficial effect on LV function. Cardiac transplantation is advised in patients with refractory HF. The use of long-term anti-thrombotics and intracardiac defibrillation is also advisable.[10] Our patient was stabilised and continued treatment with captopril and frusemide. Regular follow-up was advised and the parents were educated to assess for the danger signs of worsening HF.
Isolated LVNC is a rare, genetic, congenital disorder. Due to easy availability of diagnostic modalities and awareness of this new type of cardiomyopathy, early recognition and prompt treatment are possible. Patients should also be screened for thromboembolism and arrhythmias. Due to the genetic transmission of LVNC, screening of close relatives is recommended, and the screening of the patient for neuromuscular diseases is also advised.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necessary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
|Video standard
|Maximum length
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|200 ft. (71m)
Note: StarTech.com offers cables longer than what is listed above, including active cables, which typically include built-in active signal boosters that allow for longer cables. Active cables are specifically designed to exceed the suggested maximum lengths and are tested at the listed specifications (for example, the maximum listed resolution).
Video adapters
Video adapters passively adapt a cable from one connector type to another. Video adapters do not change the signal type, or change the video standard.
Examples of common applications for adapters include the following:
DVI-I to VGA
RCA to BNC
Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
Couplers (female to female, or male to male)
Note: You can use a coupler to extend a cable for a short distance. However, each coupler that you use can introduce signal loss, which degrades the signal quality.
Video converters
Video converters actively process and change the signal type from one video standard and convert it to another standard. They are typically used to convert digital to analog and vice versa, but can be used to convert a digital signal to another digital video standard (for example, HDMI to DisplayPort).
Video converters work over short distances from the source to the destination: up to 15 feet or 3 meters.
Video extenders
Video extenders convert an input signal to a higher voltage for transmission over longer distances and then convert the input signal back to the original video standard. The input and the output signal will match on a video extender, as the same video standard is maintained end-to-end. If a cable is extended with adapters or converters, the signal quality degrades.
Note: For more information on using a video adapter or converter with a video extender, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_convert_then_extend.
If you need to use a video extender with a video adapter or converter, you should position the adapter or converter as close to the video source as possible. For example, if you need to take a VGA signal from a computer and send it 200 feet to an HDMI® projector, you should convert the signal from VGA to HDMI and use an HDMI extender.
Note: For more information on when to use cables or extenders, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_when_to_convert.
Yes, this video extender works with set-top boxes, provided the set-top box meets the following requirements:
- The set-top box must be High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant.
- The set-top box must support devices being connected between the video source and display. If the set-top box requires a direct cable connection between the video source and display, it won't work with this video extender.
No, this device is designed to be a point-to-point solution using networking cabling only.
This device outputs HDMI video signals. If you have a display or video destination that uses another type of video connection, there are ways that you can convert the video signal or connection. These options are outlined below and organized by the target connection.
When you consider whether to convert an HDMI video signal to another connection type, it is important to know if the media that is being converted from the HDMI video connection is protected by High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If the media is protected by HDCP, you cannot convert to analog video connections because they do not support HDCP. You may experience this issue when you use devices like Blu-ray players, DVD players, and certain gaming consoles.

DisplayPort to HDMI active converters: https://www.startech.com/AV/Displayport-Converters/DP-HDMI/?filter_CONVERTTYPE=Active.
DisplayPort Passive and Active Conversions
The converter that you require depends on the type of DisplayPort video source that you are using. For more information about converting DisplayPort video signals, refer to the following FAQ: https://www.startech.com/faq/DisplayPort_Converter_DP_Multi_Mode.
There are a few things you'll want to take care of before you deploy your new video extender in your setup.
It's important to make sure you have everything you will need ahead of time. These items are listed below.
- Transmitter
- Receiver
- Video source
- Display
- Video cables
- (Optional) Ethernet or fiber cables
- (Optional) Power adapter(s)
It's also important to test everything in a simplified setup ahead of time to make sure everything works and that you understand how it works.
In order to set up your video extender, complete the following:
- Position your video transmitter near your video source.
- Connect the video output from your video source to the video transmitter.
- (Optional) Connect the power adapter to the video transmitter.
Note: Not all video extenders require external power, or require external power on both ends. Refer to the manual for more information.
- Position your video receiver near your display.
- Connect the video output from your video receiver to your display.
- (Optional) Connect the power adapter to the video receiver.
- If using a wired video extender, connect your network cabling between the video transmitter and the video receiver.
- (Optional) If you are extending anything else supported by your video extender connect those devices to the transmitter and receiver.
- (Optional) If you are using a wireless extender, there may be a sync button you need to press to pair the transmitter and receiver.
Now that you have set up your video extender, you can check that everything is working. You should be able to see your video source's output on the display connected to the video receiver.
If at this point you have further questions regarding a Startech.com video extender, contact our technical support team for further assistance.
To get the highest quality signal from your source to your display when you use an HDMI extender, do the following:
Make sure that the HDMI versions of the source, extender, and destination are compatible. For example, if you require 3D support, make sure that all of the devices can support 3D over HDMI.
Use the least amount of adapters, splitters, or converters as possible. Each device that you use in your setup creates additional points of potential failure and creates more steps for an HDCP key to hop through, which may cause issues with older displays. For more information on HDCP, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_HDCP.
Use an HDMI extender that exceeds the requirements of the setup. For example, if you need to extend the signal 200 feet, it is best to use an extender capable of more than 200 feet.
Make sure that all of the CAT 5/6 runs are as straight as possible, with the least amount of coiling.
Make sure that all of the patches, wall jacks, and cables use the highest possible CAT specification, (for example, CAT 6), and were tested to conform to the standard.
Use patches, wall jacks, and cables with the same pin configuration. For more information on T568A versus T568B wiring, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/network_cables_a_vs_b_pinout.
Keep the cabling away from sources of high noise.
Make sure that you use adequate electrical grounding in your setup.
- The power adapter may not be connected at the correct unit or may not be connected at all. Please check your product manual to see where your power adapter has to be positioned.
- An adapter to another video signal may be connected to the Transmitter or Receiver unit. Please avoid any converters for the initial setup.
- The Cat 5 or 6 cable coming from the transmitter or receiver unit may be connected to a network switch. Some of our video extenders will work in this configuration, but others will not. Please check your product manual to see if your model can be used connected to an IP network. For the initial setup, avoid connecting the Cat 5 or 6 cables to any network switch, hub, or router.
- The category of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables may not meet StarTech.com's requirements. Ensure at least Cat 5, 5e, or six cables are used, and they have eight wires. Some Cat 5 cables only have four wires. If using Cat 6 cables, be aware they have more twists per foot, so you may have to use shorter cable lengths if using Cat 6 cabling between your video extenders.
- Bundling up the UTP cabling connected to the extenders can cause crosstalk, which will prevent the video signal from showing on the display. Unwrapping the cable should resolve this issue.
- Please check to see if your model has an adjustable Gain dial on the remote unit.
- If it does, use it to adjust the color until it is acceptable.
- Replace the VGA cable with a higher quality cable like StarTech.com's MXT101MMHQ.
When you troubleshoot issues with a video extender, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video and Ethernet cables
Video extender
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing setup components, you should avoid using video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI for use with an HDMI extender, you should use an HDMI source when you test the components.
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video extender, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video extender, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video extender from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video extender.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, extender, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.

Madonna laid the first brick of her new girls' academy near Malawi's capital Tuesday, in which she encouraged Malawian girls to "dare to dream," according to the inscription on the brick.
The pop star said it has long been her dream to build a girls' school. She said she hopes the girls attending the academy will go on to become doctors, lawyers and future leaders of their country.
The $15 million Raising Malawi Academy for Girls is scheduled to open in 2011, and will assist 500 orphaned children.
At the same event, Madonna also launched a telecommunications and fundraising initiative that aims to provide education to children around the world by offering secondary school scholarships and by supporting schools in developing countries in accessing the internet.
"Kids will be able to connect with kids from the other parts of the world," the singer said. "This will promote peace throughout the world."
The singer also blogged about the groundbreaking of the new school.
"It is with tremendous joy that I return to Malawi to lay the first brick in the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls. By educating girls we will rebuild this community and raise this nation," Madonna said in a blog post on the Raising Malwai Web site on Monday. "Our academy will educate, protect, and empower 450 young girls who are Malawi's hope for the future. We will stop the brain drain happening in so many African nations—our students will receive an internationally competitive education while incorporating local values."
Telecommunications giant Ericsson will donate computers to various schools in 11 African countries through the United Nations Millennium Village initiative, where model villages are established to demonstrate how the quality of life in African rural areas can be improved through community-led development.
Daughters Lourdes and Mercy accompanied Madonna to Tuesday's ceremony.
The pop diva looked relaxed as she used a trowel to turn the earth. She wore a long-sleeved striped top, white cotton slacks, a patterned scarf and pale ballet flats. She also wore a black-banded straw hat and dark sunglasses on the sunny day.
Madonna arrived in Malawi on Monday for a weeklong charity tour to inspect projects she established since her first visit in 2006 while filming a documentary on its devastating poverty and AIDS crisis.
Madonna has adopted two Malawian children, David Banda and Mercy Chifundo James, both four. She also funds six Malawian orphanages, which feed, clothe and educate some 25,000 orphans.

My fourth layout of the Day came on September 24, 2006, again over at Digitals. This was another "All About Me" layout that I made using a shadow box. I just put together a little shadow box with some items that represent me. A lot of it has to do with my marriage and husband: 20 years (how long we've been married), US, magnolias are my favorite flower, i love baubles and bright shiny objects and i try to live by the sayings "be the change" "be strong" "Seize the moment" "Enjoy". I had fun with it and loved the kit I used by Dana Frantz called "Flea Market"! It is funky fun!
This one is called "All About Me Shadow Box" (original name, I know!)
All items from Flea Market by Dana Frantz (available at Digitals) except

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian were presented with keys to North Miami on Monday.
The keys were given to them as an official welcome as they film their reality show "Kim and Kourtney Take Miami" in South Florida.They are renting a home in North Miami while they film the series.
"We filmed two seasons of our show out here before, a couple years ago. And when Kourtney and I branchd off and went to go film in New York, we love New York, but there was something that we really missed about Miami. So, we came back, and we're so excited to be here. Everyone in North Miami and all of Miami has been so welcoming to us and so great to us and has made it so easy for us to film," Kim Kardashian said. "I know its not an easy thing when you hear a reality show is coming to film, but I hope that we have proven how respectful our crew and our production is, and we are, and we are just so excited that everyone has welcomed us with open arms."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The city's mayor, Andre D. Pierre, honored them at the council chambers of North Miami City Hall. Khloe Kardashian had to fly back to Los Angeles for "X Factor," Kourtney Kardashian said.
"We just wanted to say its such an honor. We love North Miami. We feel so welcome here," Kourtney Kardashian said.
Pierre said the city was honored that they were there.
"What can we say about the Kardashians that none of you have not already known? I mean really, when you have one of the most Googled name in the United States of America. I believe it's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to keep anything private, especially when your work is in the area of reality television," Pierre said.
He added that although the show was being filmed in the broader Miami area, officials were aware of the economic impact of filming on the community. He added that the city was known as the film and recording capital of the South.
"Today we are extremely happy to take a nod to this industry by honoring three of the most hard working people in the business Khloe, Kim and Kourtney," he said.
Lunch was to be served after the ceremony.
