The Dolphins will obviously add a running back to compete if Reggie Bush is allowed to walk in free agency as I've reported. Bottom line, they need more bodies because Lamar Miller, Daniel Thomas, Jonas Gray and Marcus Thigpen aren't enough bodies to take to training camp.
And a competition between Miller and Thomas for the starting job seems less that inspiring because Miller seems to clearly be the better back.
But Rashard Mendenhall to the Dolphins?
Well, that's the buzz going around the NFL as voiced most loudly by NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah on his twitter feed over the weekend. Jeremiah, a former NFL scout, obviously has connections around the league so he's as credible as most.
But Rashard Mendenhall to the Dolphins?
Apparently the Dolphins are eyeing more than one prospective Steelers free agent. Obviously the Dolphins cannot sign Mendenhall until 4 p.m. on Tuesday when unrestricted free agency's signing period begins. So we're talking interest in the abstract right now.
But Mendenhall is an interesting guy.
Yes, he has loads of talent. Yes, he is a load himself at 5-10 and 225 pounds. Yes, he is very fast, having clocked in the 4.4s coming out of college. He was even fast enough to be Pittsburgh's kickoff return man earlier in his career.
Mendenhall, 25, also has two 1,000-yard seasons to his credit, those coming in 2009 and 2010.
But Mendenhall is something of an enigma and 2012 was a disaster for many reasons.
In January 2012 he suffered a torn ACL injury to a knee and had to spend his entire offseason rehabilitating the injury. Unlike Adrian Peterson who recovered from a similar injury like a champion, Mendenhall languished and simply wasn't the same player.
He not only played only six games but languished by gaining 3.6 yards per carry. And when coaches didn't think he was trying very hard, they deactivated him for a game against San Diego. Well, Mendenhall didn't bother to show up for that tilt. And so he was suspended for the next game against Dallas.
Mendenhall also stirred some controversy in May 2011 when he got on twitter and chided Americans for celebrating the killing of Osama bin Laden. One of his tweets seemed to suggest he didn't blame bin Laden for 9-11 by raising the possibility of a conspiracy theory.
Mendenhall tried to walk back his position by first tweeting he was just trying to stir conversation and then apologized outright through the Steelers. But Champion Sporting Goods dropped Mendenhall from an endorsement deal.
Mendenhall's, cough, interesting history, diminished production, and Pittsburgh's difficult salary cap situation are undoubtedly reasons the Steelers haven't re-signed the player. That the Dolphins are reportedly interested in Mendenhall -- something I've not idenpendently confirmed -- might be yet another example of the paradigm shift the team is undergoing in its approach to free agency.
The Denver Broncos are also reportedly interested in Mendenhall.

iPhone Backup Extractor works with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
by Catalin Nichita
Launched and already sold out, both iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are a huge success for Apple. As Jony Ive said:
the iPhones went through an evolutionary process, from a technological and materials engineering standpoint, bringing forth a series of features that make the new device one of the most beautifully designed and best-performing of all iPhones so far.
iPhone Backup Extractor has historically supported not only all versions of iOS, but all devices as well. Our team received the new iPhone as soon as it was released, and we've tested it to ensure the core capabilities of our software are supported. We are happy to announce that our application offers full support for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. As always, Reincubate is the first company to offer full support for these devices.
Supported features
Media files, app data and content can be recovered from both iTunes (encrypted and unencrypted) and iCloud backups.
What type of data can be recovered from iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus?
Screen Time and Restriction passcode. The restrictions PIN can be recovered or reset to 1234. Notice that you need to restore the updated iTunes backup in order to make the iPhone accessible by using 1234 as password.
Encrypted backups. With the introduction of the 6-Core A10 processor, our team ran tests to ensure encrypted backups can be downloaded and extracted with our most recent version of the software. We can confirm that our backup recovery software works with encrypted backups made on the new device.
iMessages and your drawings, specific to iOS 10. We've covered the data extraction methods for the both types of data in depth: iMessages and drawings
Photos and videos. Photos and videos taken with iPhone 7 are quite stunning. Apple emphasized a few improvements pertaining to the new 7 and 12 megapixel cameras: the bokeh effect when focusing on objects and faces, automatic adjustment to colour temperature, TrueTone flash, and a wide color gamut for cinematic level photos. All photos and videos taken with iPhone 7 can be downloaded, previewed and recovered with iPhone Backup Extractor. Here's how you do it.
Calendar data. Your calendar data can be now extracted from your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus in a matter of seconds. The data can also be restored on your iOS device in a few easy steps, by importing entries using compatible iCAL files.
Contacts. If you're trying to migrate from an older iOS model to iPhone 7, you may have trouble transferring all contacts. As long as you have an iCloud backup, the contacts can be recovered and restored on your new device in a few seconds. This tutorial shows the steps which should be followed to make sure you have all your contacts transferred on your new iPhone 7.
Notes. One of the most used features in iOS are the personal Notes. If you need to retrieve your notes from your iPhone 7 on your computer, you can do it by using these instructions. By extracting data as HTML file, you'll be able to retrieve the Notes attachments, including videos and pictures. The tutorial describing the Notes recovery procedure is here.
Call history. Sometimes you may have used a phone number and not saved it in your contacts lists, or even more, you've deleted it from the call history of your iPhone 7. This is why you will have to recover your entire call history list. The data can be extracted from iTunes or iCloud backup. This blog post will show you how to do it.
Location data. If you want to get all your Location data from your iPhone, you can do it. Introduced in the earlier versions of iOS, this type of information is now available for extraction. Make sure you use this guide to recover your data and see the location data on Google maps.
Voicemails. This type of info is specific to the iPhones using the services provided by some carriers. Voice messages are stored locally, on your device. If you're in this situation and you want to get its data at a local level, the iPhone Backup Extractor can do this for you.
App messaging data. If you have Snapchat, Viber, Wechat, Kik, Line and Hike installed on your brand new iPhone 7, we have good news for you. You can retrieve all your messages in just a few steps by using iPhone Backup Extractor.
App data. If you have installed a specific app and you want to get its data, locally, we can help. The latest version of iPhone Backup Extractor offers support for the majority of the installed Apps. Make sure you use the "App view" mode to retrieve your app data. If you find any unsupported app, contact us and we'll try to find a solution for you.
Any specific iOS 10 file, using "Expert mode". By using the "Expert mode" you have access to the file structure specific to the iOS environment. The extracted data can be converted by using the "File" menu.
With the new iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus and iOS 10, Apple makes a huge step forward. As leaders in iOS data extraction, Reincubate is ready to provide you full support for any iTunes and iCloud backup data you need to retrieve.
If you need additional support for any kind of data extraction, our top rated team is ready to get in touch with you and help.

Mars beckons space age explorers, much as the New World lured Christopher Columbus. NASA answers the siren call again Saturday -- launching the $2.5 billion nuclear-powered Mars Science Laboratory, nicknamed Curiosity.
It is the most ambitious and complex robotic rover built to explore the Red Planet. The goal: find elements that could prove whether life ever existed on Mars.
An Atlas V rocket hoisted the rover, officially known as Mars Science Laboratory, into a cloudy late morning sky from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, just south of the launch pads from which space shuttles left for 30 years, and before them, Apollo moon missions.
Curiosity is set for a nearly nine-month trip to the Red Planet. Getting there is only the start; when the spacecraft plows into the thin Martian atmosphere, that's where the spacecraft designers will be tested.
Curiosity weighs one ton and is much too heavy to land on airbags like NASA's previous rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. So it will be slowed by a heat shield and parachute, then gently lowered to the planet's surface on cables suspended from a rocket-powered sky crane. It is the first time this design is being used, and mission managers have openly confessed they're uneasy.
Mars is a harsh mistress. Of 38 missions we earthlings have sent there since the beginning of the space age, NASA counts 24 failures. The Russians have never yet had a full success.
This mission, if it succeeds, will answer questions for NASA scientists who are planning to send humans to Mars, some day. How would a manned mission work?
"The key is pre-deploying spacecraft and rovers -- getting infrastructure in place to make the most of the time we have to explore the planet," said Bret Drake of NASA's Human Space Flight Team.
Drake said we just won't know enough to go to Mars for another 30 years. It would take 180 days to get to Mars, 180 days to get back, and the astronauts would spend 500 days exploring the planet. The logistics are daunting. Problems like protecting astronauts from the radiation found in interplanetary space have yet to be solved.
Astronaut Mike Gerhardt is testing concept rovers and systems that could be used by explorers on Mars. A 900 day mission? He would go in a heartbeat.
"Once you get there, think how exhilarating it would be," he said. "You would be discovering a new planet."
Getting to Mars is time-consuming partly because of the way our planets orbit. Rice University's Dr. Patricia Reiff jokes she thinks sometimes Mars doesn't want us there.
"Even though it is relatively close to Earth, its orbit is one and a half astronomical units, where we are at one," she said. "Because the orbits are so nearly the same we only line up every two years, so we only have a good opportunity to fly to Mars every two years. That just makes it tricky navigationally."
The failures are legendary -- including the latest, Russia's Phobos-Grunt spacecraft, which is currently stuck in Earth orbit after it launched earlier this month. Phobos-Grunt was an ambitious mission to land a robotic probe on one of Mars's moons, Phobos ("Grunt" is Russian for "ground"), and scoop up soil to return to Earth. Scientists were thrilled with the prospect of testing samples in labs around the world. Now engineers are talking about when the doomed spacecraft will crash back to Earth, probably in late December or early January.
Curiosity, hopefully, will avoid Phobos-Grunt's fate. If all goes well, it will land on Mars on Aug. 6, 2012.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The House of Representatives Wednesday night passed a bill to fund the government and raise the nation's borrowing limit.
By a vote of 285 to 144, Republicans and Democrats upheld a bill negotiated by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after a near-three week shutdown of the government and shortly before the United States was to be unable to pay its debts.
Earlier in the evening, the Senate passed the bill 81 to 18. Difficulties had arisen when the Republican-controlled House and Democratic-controlled Senate could not agree to various forms of bills to fund the government and raise the debt limit.

Hot Stove With A World Series, Farm Grown Twist
Did you hear? Ryan Vogelsong and Doug Fister will be the guest speakers at the 52nd Anniversary Hot Stove Gala. The event is on Thursday, February 7th at the Fresno Convention Center in Downtown Fresno.
The Hot Stove dinner, which benefits the Fresno Grizzlies Community Fund, will be filled with plenty of conversations about the World Series and playing baseball in the Central San Joaquin Valley.
So why did we choose Vogelsong and Fister – and they graciously accept – to be speakers? Let's break that down:
- Vogelsong was the Grizzlies' Opening Day starting pitcher in each of the last two seasons. Both starts had different reasons, though. In 2011, the right-hander was giving what seemed to be one final shot at being a Major League pitcher. He impressed the Giants over two starts with the Grizzlies and was the player selected to replace Barry Zito in the starting rotation. In 2012, Vogelsong started the year with Fresno on Major League Rehab assignment.
- Vogelsong is one of the 17 of the 25 Giants on the World Series roster who have worn both a Grizzlies and Giants uniform. Vogelsong, being that he was drafted by the Giants and groomed in the organization with a stop in Fresno, is one of the Farm Grown stars on the Giants.
- Vogelsong first pitched with the Grizzlies in 2001 (that's the Beiden Field era). While 1
7 of the 25 players from the Giants' World Series roster at one time played for the Grizzlies, Vogelsong is the only one who can claim he wore the purple and black jerseys (for what it's worth). Vogelsong made 10 starts for Fresno in 2001.
- Vogelsong's story is one all fans would want to hear. The former Giants draft pick also pitched in his home state with the Pittsburgh Pirates before going on a journey to Japan for three seasons with two different teams. Once he returned from Japan in 2010, he spent allof the first season in Triple-A wondering if he would ever get the opportunity again to pitch in the big leagues. Since then, Vogelsong has been named a National League All-Star, honored with the Willie Mac award winner and won a World Series. Not bad considering his path.
- Fister faced the Giants in game two of the 2012 World Series. Fister allowed only one run over six-plus innings, striking out three and walking one. He suffered the loss as the Giants beat the Tigers 2-0.
- Fister was first drafted by the Giants in the 49th round of the 2003 Draft, but he elected not to sign.
- Fister is from Merced, California and went to high school at Golden Valley High in Merced, which is about 50 minutes from Downtown Fresno.
- Fister attended Merced Junior College and Fresno State. He pitched for the Bulldogs from 2005-06, and he earned All-Western Athletic Conference honors as a senior in 2006.
- In his Fresno State athletics bio, he listed his biggest athletic thrill (before he was a pro) was pitching at "SBC Park," or now known as AT&T Park, home of the Giants.
- While he has never pitched in Chukchansi Park in his pro career, Fister has faced the Grizzlies twice. He faced the Grizzlies at Cheney Stadium in 2009 when he was pitching for the Tacoma Rainiers.

Humilityprevious next
Also: Equality, Modesty
Humility means understanding that the delights, pains and needs of others are as important as our own, even though they don't feel so. When we are humble, we can laugh at our self importance and sometimes, even, set it aside. We can see our own faults and the strengths of others, and we recognize how much we have been given, unearned.
Humility makes us aware of our personal limitations and the limitations of humanity more broadly. We acknowledge that there is much we do not know, that certainty is impossible, and that our understandings of the world are provisional at best. Humility opens us to growth and love.

Alfonso Gomez-Rejon's film, which uses animation and other flourishes in telling its coming-of-age story, took both audience and grand jury prizes in the U.S. dramatic category.
"This movie is about processing loss and celebrating a beautiful life and a beautiful man," Gomez-Rejon said as he accepted the grand jury prize, alluding to his late father, Julio Cesar Gomez-Rejon, to whom the film is dedicated.

vdominfo: usage: [options] [domain] options: -v (print version number) -a (display all fields, this is the default) -n (display domain name) -u (display uid field) -g (display gid field) -d (display domain directory) -t (display total users)
Note that to return the usage with vdominfo, you must type
vdominfo -h
Return information about user accounts
vuserinfo: usage: [options] email_address options: -v (print version number) -a (display all fields, this is the default) -n (display name field) -p (display crypted password) -u (display uid field) -g (display gid field) -c (display comment field) -d (display directory) -q (display quota field) -Q (display quota usage) -C (display clear text password) -l (display last authentication time) -D domainname (show all users on this domain)
Modify user settings and flags
vmoduser: usage: [options] email_addr or domain ( for the entire domain ) options: -v ( display the vpopmail version number ) -n ( don't rebuild the vpasswd.cdb file ) -q quota ( set quota ) -c comment (set the comment/gecos field ) -e encrypted_passwd (set the password field ) -C clear_text_passwd (set the password field ) the following options are bit flags in the gid int field -u ( set no dialup flag ) -d ( set no password changing flag ) -p ( set no pop access flag ) -s ( set no smtp access flag ) -w ( set no web mail access flag ) -i ( set no imap access flag ) -b ( set bounce mail flag ) -o ( set override domain limits flag ) -r ( set no external relay flag ) -a ( grant qmailadmin administrator privileges) -0 ( set V_USER0 flag ) -1 ( set V_USER1 flag ) -2 ( set V_USER2 flag ) -3 ( set V_USER3 flag ) -x ( clear all flags ) -f ( disable spamassassin) -F ( delete spam)
The vmoduser command is very useful for more advanced user options. Each user has a set of flags that can be set on them. For instance, 'No webmail' will disallow them to use a webmail interface, and 'No POP3' will not allow them to download mail via POP. Generally people use these flags to nudge customers who haven't paid, or to provide specific services to users who are paying for specific services (ie: webmail or pop3, etc). You can also set a flag which disallows them to send mail. Other than user flags, one can also set quotas with this command.
Short for vpopmail bulletin, vpopbull mass-mails local users an email.
usage: vpopbull [options] -f [email_file] [virtual_domain] [...] -v (print version number) -V (verbose) -f email_file (file with message contents) -e exclude_email_addr_file (list of addresses to exclude) -n (don't mail. Use with -V to list accounts) -c (default, copy file) -h (use hard links) -s (use symbolic links)
The vpopbull command solves a number of problems with trying to mail all your users. Firstly, you dont need to maintain a list of all your user accounts to email to. Secondly, emailing users through the actual qmail server would be inefficient. vpopbull drops messages directly into their Maildir directories where they can be picked up by POP3, webmail, etc, making the operation a simple copy operation instead of an actual mailing operation.
The email sent must be a fully valid email message, including From, and Subject headers, followed by a blank line, followed by the message. The one exception is that a To header should not be included.
From: <email@example.com> Subject: Server maintenance Dear example.com users, We will be performing maintenance on the mail server tomorrow morning. The maintence window will be between 3am and 5am. Thank you for your patience, The example.com Staff
More complicated messages, including ones with attachments, etc, can also be made, however the specifics of generating a multipart message is out of the scope of this document.
Other binaries
You will probably notice that there are binaries in the bin directory that aren't listed above. These binaries are either used by vpopmail to handle delivery or other aspects of the mail system management, or they are used by more advanced users or users who are migrating data between databases.
When vpopmail has been compiled with the --enable-roaming-users=y flag enabled, this binary is run out of the crontab every 5 minutes to update the list of IPs that are no longer allowed to send mail. This is a binary used by the Roaming Users feature of vpopmail.
When vpopmail has been compiled with the --enable-valias=y flag, this binary will find all dotqmail files under vpopmail and convert them to valias entries in the database.
Other Features
Here is a list of features that are not so commonly used, but definately have their place.
valias provides use of special delivery instructions normally found in dotqmail, from a database. Depending upon systems, this may or may not increase efficiency.

People who haven't resolved to lose weight during 2013 may be up for a culinary dare during their next trip to Las Vegas. The Pub at Monte Carlo – inside the Strip hotel of the same name – is betting $29 you probably can't down an 8-pound cheeseburger plus a 32-ounce glass of beer (or root beer) within 45 minutes.
If you can, the meal is on the house and they'll throw in a complimentary T-shirt.
The Pub Challenge has been on offer for a little more than a year and of the 150 or so diners who have dared to try, only three have succeeded in finishing the burger, which measures about 10 inches in diameter.
"I think people are scared of it," Executive Chef Tim Radigan said, only half–jokingly.
Don't expect this order to be delivered to the table quickly. Radigan starts with a 4-pound patty of ground Angus beef, which takes 30 minutes to cook, 45 minutes if it's ordered well-done.
To the meat and the 2-pound bun, the cooks add a full pound of cheese and a pound of veggies (lettuce, tomato, caramelized onion and jalapeno pepper) before finishing it with a "secret sauce." The burger's not for dieters; it has 11,000 calories.

How to request a freedesktop.org account
Wiki accounts
To be able to edit wiki pages at freedesktop.org, you don't need an SSH account, you need a wiki account. These are easy to get, requiring just the assistance of someone with an ssh account. Check out the 401 unauthorized page for instructions.
SSH accounts
To obtain an ssh account for a project hosted by freedesktop.org, you must follow these rules. Failure to do so will probably result in your request getting dropped on the floor. Don't take it personally if it does, the rules are there to make sure it doesn't happen, so if they aren't followed ...
What you need
Passwords are not used for the accounts at freedesktop.org. Instead, SSH keys are used. Therefore, you will need to have you SSH key at hand when requesting an account. Also, you must have a GPG key available so that you can identify yourself for future account maintainance requests.
If you already have an account, and these key are already in place, then you don't need to supply them with your request.
Requesting a New Account
What you do
- go to http://bugs.freedesktop.org
- Create a bug asking for an account. Select the Product that corresponds to the Project for which you are requesting access. If there's no product in bugzilla for the project in question, file it against the freedesktop.org product, in the New Accounts component.
- You MUST include your real name, email address, and a preferred account name.
- You MUST attach both your SSH (RSA only -- no DSA!) and GPG public keys to this bug. Please attach them as text/plain. Please make sure you add them as attachments, not inline in the bug.
- Verify that your GPG key is visible via subkeys.pgp.net and/or pgp.mit.edu:
gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --send-keys 0xdeadbeef
0xdeadbeef with your key id; note also that the server is subkeys.pgp.net, not subkeys.gpg.net)
To generate a GPG key, run
gpg --gen-key, and
gpg --export -a <your email address> to export the public key in a format suitable for attaching. You MUST keep your private key secure; anyone with your private key can now get access to fd.o machines, and potentially compromise source code! A strong passphrase is recommended, as is not keeping it on any public machines. If a private key is found on a freedesktop.org machine, it will be removed from the keyring, and a new one will have to be created.
To generate an SSH key, run
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/mykey-fdo.
Neither (EC)DSA nor RSA1 keys will be accepted, so choose another key type, such as
rsa or
This will put your new public key in
~/.ssh/mykey-fdo.pub; to use it, add
-i ~/.ssh/mykey-fdo to your SSH command line (e.g.
ssh -i ~/.ssh/mykey-fdo annarchy.freedesktop.org), or create a stanza in
~/.ssh/config like so:
Host *.freedesktop.org
User myusername
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/mykey-fdo
Mac users should see MacGPG for information about running GPG on Mac. Windows users should see PuTTY for information on using SSH clients in Windows, including key generation.
What the Project Leader does
- Review and approve the request for an account & access to your project.
- Reassign the bug to the freedesktop.org Product with the Component set to New Accounts, Make sure the owner is changed to * email@example.com *. If everything is in order, and all of the data is provided, then the account will be created, usually within a few days, with possible exceptions around holidays and major conferences. Don't freak out if it ends up taking longer than this: we're all humans, sometimes we're busy humans. Your request isn't being ignored or forgotten, it's just that no-one has the time to get to it right now.
Requesting Modifications
If you want to add a GPG key to your account or get added to another project, this requires manual intervention. Go to Bugzilla and file a new bug. If you need to add a GPG key, assign it to freedesktop.org, component Account Changes; if you need to be added to a new project, assign it to that project (not freedesktop.org) for approval by the project maintainer. Project leaders will follow the same procedure as above to approve an addition request.
Account Maintenance
For details on how to change your SSH keys, email address, etc, see AccountMaintenance.

Backup Holster
1 post • Page 1 of 1
Backup Holster
I stumbled across DESBIENS GUN LEATHER while searching for holster options for MY S&W M&P 340CT. While I was specifically shopping for a pocket holster, my 340CT makes a great backup gun for when I'm able (any time I'm not working) to carry my Glock 32 (357 Sig) and since I love the concept of a "New York Reload", when I found Desbiens Covert Badger holster it immediately became the perfect solution for a need that I didn't previously realize I even had.
The holster arrived in just a couple weeks and was a perfect fit for my little J-Frame. I specifically ordered the holster with a neutral magazine cant with the cartridges pointing rearward for faster employment.
I'm pleasantly surprised to have found a way to carry a back up gun without feeling bulky and weighted down excessively. While no holster is truly comfortable (just varying degrees of discomfort), this one really isn't uncomfortable in any way. While sitting and leaning I can feel the corner of the magazine, but this is the case with all magazine carriers.
Initially I had thought that I'd found a flaw in the system. When the holster is laying flat on the table it looks like the draw stroke would be hindered by hitting the gun against the magazine. Once wearing it however, the natural curvature of your body takes the magazine out of the way giving you a clear path through which to draw.
The craftsmanship is quite good; I have no reservation comparing it to other custom makers available today. While it may not have the artistic value of Del Fatti (but let's be honest, what does?), it certainly has quality comparable to that of Sparks or even the Alessi that the Glock is riding in. @$165 it is a holster for the dedicated, but then again, the concept of a New York reload in and of itself is a concept embraced by only the dedicated. This holster fully met my expectations in quality and exceeded my expectations in function ability.
Note that I am not compensated for this endorsement; this is just one of those unique products that serves such a functional purpose that it deserves placement in our official review section and receives a full Deadeye Media endorsement.

Isis- I'm think I want to get some experience in Big Law but not stay in it to long. I have so many different areas of law that attracts me that I think I will end up trying to pursue public office. The opportunity to promote change and inspire other minority guys is what really motivates me to pursue law. I know all to well about how black men fall into the system because they aren't aware of all the options that they have. I have a uncle who has recently been arrested for the death of his own baby even though the child was with its mother who lived 2 hours away. Crazyness...I'm not sure if criminal defense if right for me but legalized I feel you about the outreach/awareness programs.Its nice to meet you all. Where is everybody applying to for law school?
Hello everyone!I'm a newbie in a sense that this is my first official posting. I am currently a 1L at Vermont Law School (I know ya'll like, Vermont? Yea me too lol) I went to Spelman and although I was studying along the lines of health science/public health, I always had a desire to attend law school. My law interests are corporate, public interest, international, and health law. I know I'm all over the place! But I feel like I want to definitely focus my time, attention, and resources to utilizing my law degree to help minorities and marginalized individuals. That is my ultimate goal b/c i do not know what opportunities may be thrown my way in the next coming years, and I am definitely making that an integral part of my life, whether its pro bono in a law firm, working at a non-profit, or offering free legal services on my own twice a month to those classes of people. I was always checkin the boards last yr as I was applying to law achool. I never posted anything b/c i found that most of my questions were answered by doing a quick search. I guess I will be actually part-take in discussions on these boards now since I feel like the sense of community is returning. And for all those who are applying to law school this cycle, I want to offer my words of encouragement and best of luck! And for the record, law school aint bad at all! Its definitely doable once you get a firm foundation in ur doctrinal courses.
Are any of you on twitter? If so, lets follow each other. I'm @jsimp7891

(Painter 1916-opportunities to visit salt makers or Lee, Jung1956) Street in the center of Seogwipo city, and seob's residence. The forest on the route is home then on past Cheonjiyeon Pokpo(waterfall) to to five plant species that are registered as natural Oedolgae Rock. This route is known as a cultural treasures. This route is popular for beginners as it is and ecological trail route. Walkers get a chance relatively easy and can be completed comfortably. Sightseeing Soesokkak Fresh water meets sea water at Soesokkak and creates a breath taking sight. You can ride the "Tewoo" log raft that floats on Soesokkak. It goes round in a loop and may be the slowest moving transportation in the world. It takes 40-50 minutes to travel across the valley on the "Tewoo" log raft and the fare is 5,000won. Sogeummak ??? It is a place where salt was produced and stored by boiling sea water in the days when salt was considered very valuable. There used to be barracks for soldiers who guarded the salts from theft. Jejigi Oreum One can enjoy the view of Sup-seom(island). It's the closest viewpoint on the whole of Jeju Island. Gudumi The name 'Gudumi' comes from the shape of the region, which resembles a turtle's head (Gudumi) and tail (Gudumi).

You probably have a check list, at least in your mind, of what goes into making a good logo design. You may know how to design a logo and you've probably studied some of the greats however are you forgetting these four critical factors when you design your logos?
Below are 4 logo design tips for areas that are often overlooked in logo design:
- Ownership marks
- Anchor point clean up
- Colour functionality
- The correct files
Does the logo need an ownership mark?
Especially if you're doing a logo for a product or service that belongs to a particular brand, they may require you to put some kind of mark on it indicating its ownership: a registered mark ®, a trademark ™ or a service mark ?. On that note you may want to read up on copyright issues in logo design.
If the logo you are creating requires one of these, work it into the design as the Multimediums example above, don't just tack it on at the end. First you have to decide if you want to use the same font as you have for the rest of the logo or would a more plain sans serif be better?
Then kern the mark close to the other text or the image in the logo. Baseline adjust it so that it looks like it belongs in the design. You may even consider knocking it out of a solid color area of the logo, like in the Weaver logo above.
What does the logo look like larger?
You know that you have to make sure the logo will work at smaller sizes, but have you considered that your logo might need to be blown up to fit on a billboard or tradeshow exhibit someday? Creating professional logos isn't just about how good it looks, it's also about how functional it is technically.
Zoom in as close as you can and check to make sure there's no funny stuff going on with anchor points or handles (divots, extraneous points and the like). You may not notice these details when it's small, but blow the logo up and they'll be the first things your eye is drawn to.
Will the chosen colors work?
Sometimes the client will tell you what the corporate colors are, but if you get to decide, choose colors that will match a variety of applications. Some colors are too neutral in their value (yes, value, not hue) and either don't stand out very well or don't match well with most other colors.
PMS300, for example, is an often used color for logos, but I'l tell you from personal experience that it is a very difficult color to work with and I end up using the pure black or knockout (white) version of the logo instead! You have to consider how colors work for more applications than just the stationary system you may create to go with the delivery of the logo.
Do you have four high quality files ready to give the client?
Deliver high quality files to your clients includes taking into account all the ways the logo might be used. Create a spot color-based file, a pure CMYK (i.e. no spot colors!) file, a pure black and a pure white (knockout) file. That's four files total that you should deliver to a client every time. You can tell if you're using a spot (aka Pantone or PMS) color, a spot color converted to a process (CMYK) color or a pure process color by looking at the Color Swatches palette.
Clean up these files, too. Go into the Color Swatches palette and delete any extra color, gradient or pattern swatches that weren't used in the actual logo. You can also delete extra brushes and graphic styles to further clean up the file.
You may want to add this to your check list of what makes a good logo:
- How is the ownership mark incorporated?
- Does the logo reduce and enlarge as expected?
- Will the chosen colors work in most contexts?
- Do the files have the technical flexiblity for any possible use?
So are these things that you've thought about before? Do you have any other logo design tips?

Another guess I think is that the UN already thought about the resistance from the citizens and probably China, or Russia used their Veto to cancel an invasion. Another guess could be because if they did indeed attack Iraq, they'll have to rebuild the country and of course Iraq will have a bunch of small factions with Saddam out of the picture.

(im not trying to offend anyone, these r simply my opinions)
-after reading over the conversation i thought id submit my thoughts
a negative relationship no doubt about it has been formed with iraq, and on tv and or the internet, u can hear iraqis curse the states and ask wat theyve done to deserve this sort of punishment...wait, i thought the americans were supposed to help iraq? u no get rid of the leader, then everything would be great. his attack on terrorists in iraq focuses on his main goals mainly, he doesnt care for the peoples well being in iraq, otherwise he would probably stop killing them...probably. bush's logic is like killing a building full of civilians, just so he could kill a few terrorists, not caring about the other innocent people inside the building.
a big part of the war was no doubt for oil, otherwise the americans wouldnt be pumping gas back to the US. maybe bush saw it as a win win situation. take some oil, free the country from a terrifying leader, then every 1 can congratulate u for taking bak sadaam and US will be known for not only being the stongest country military wise in the world, but for saving and helping 3rd world countries.
although every 1 would like to, u cant just blame bush, hes the guy thats hired to make stupid disicions and take the blame for it, u can take this all the bak to the media, or the political infulence, w/e u think causes this actions, u can blame a lot of people and influences.
many american troops die, and more iraqis troops die. for those who say it was a good decision to send troops into iraq, none of these disicions r good, but war exists becuz of bad desicions. Bush if just trying to make other countries fear the US that way his decisions can be backed up by other countries, reasuring his dicisions are correct to the people living in his country.

Since the main objective of the coalition going in was to drive invading Iraqi forces out of Kuwait and put a stop to Saddam's aggression towards neighboring countries...that much could be accomplished through heavy reliance on aircraft/smartbombs and using the stockpile of tomahawk cruise missles Ronald Reagan built-up during his presidency. Leaving Saddam in power, but with his military forces so trashed that the primary danger they posed was to the Iraqi people who were stuck dealing with the nut. Removal of Saddam was then left as an internal political problem for the Iraqi people to deal with. Unfortunately, as we saw no matter how tight the sanction screw was tightened nor how bad things became for the Iraqi people as a result, no popular uprising ever materialized in Iraq to remove Saddam.

I didn't bother to read through that nice long sea of text, so forgive me if this was already mentioned.
Osama has been going against Islamic values from the moment he started his terror campaign. Values that advocate peace and brotherhood. Just ask any morderate Muslim.
This 'approval' he has for mass murder seems based on an eye for an eye logic. This seems like a complete cop-out to me.

You just have to see how Bush didn't care that he wasn't approved for this war, he just wanted to get his oil and to attack the Iraq.
Also, in case you didn't know, the USA are not in a that good position against the Iraq, even though their army is way stronger than the rebels.
Also, the US army hasn't only killed rebels, but also might have killed innocents people.

At least it's not like there are masses of people taking to the streets in muslim countries to denounce Osama and go on to advocate peace and brotherhood with people in west. But you could probably get a mob together on short notice in most middle eastern cities with no problem if the purpose was to protest the west for [insert any reason here] and call for a jihad against the US. Complete with derogative but colorful chants by the crowd and flag/ foreign leader effigy burning.

i dont think iraq is in a position to be attacking the US. their having enough problems defending their own land. a lot of ppl in iraq r dead and injured, and most of the system that would have any influence on an attack to the US are in danger, or dead, and right now an attack on the states would only cause more termoil on their country from the states, and iraq would be accused mroe for having possesion on nuclear bombs and such.
if ur taken under by the terrorirst warnings on tv, and when the meter hits high u hide in ur bomb shelter, ur living under fear, and probably belive every word the media fishes out to u. if the country can be kept under fear theyll support the attack on terrorists becuz ur over concerned about having a terrorist attack on u. good thing the countries pinned down, and barely able to defend itself with its civilians dying. if theres ever a counter attack, itll be on every channel, so ull have fair warning to wait in ur bomb shelter with a shotgun

(I love Albinoblacksheep)
But anyways.
If you know anything about the US land, we CAN be self sufficent in oil if we start digging for our Shael rocks in the Midwest. Heck we have so much Oil in Alaska to last us another 100 years. Then of course all of our drilling in the Pacific. I'll just trust Bush on this one, where he claimed that Saddam had WMD. Oil is a part of it, but I'll just say "Manifest Destiny"
So why not dig there? It's just not logical to build all those refineries, go through the WWF, and all that stuff.
Yes I know he doesn't have any, and blah blah blah, but we didn't know that until we actually invaded AND checked ourselves. If someone kicks out our inspectors, doesn't like us all that much, we called them evil, what was the US to think?
The US did kill innocent people. Heck there was a video recently where an Iraqi was playing dead to try and escape, then US soldiers were screaming
"That fucker is Breathing!"
"He's not Fucking Dead!!"
"He's dead now."

As long as we are dependent on oil, we will always be dependent on foreign oil. There simply isn't enough in the US itself. Though we do have an abudance of coal, that would last 400 years if a cheap, efficient way to convert it into oil was developed. There are methods, but as far as I know they are too expensive and complex to do on a large scale.
As for manifest destiny, in a thousand years history books will show a map of this era that will have the US spread across most of the planet, based on the location of our military bases. Isn't enough to kow that school children a thousand years from now will think we ruled most of the planet without actually doing so? Why go through the trouble of actually trying to rule it when we'll get the credit anyway?
