Sweet board. More than I expected. I finally understand the "meaning of Pi". It appears to be a mature design and well thought out (on the surface). Honestly, I'm not quite sure what I'm doing yet, so I can't give a operational review.. But this does bring out the MAD SCIENTIST in me. This board is headed for CAR-PC duty. I'm not sure what yet but it looks like the only limitation will be me :) Luckily it's properly "fused" and all the dips are all "socketed".. So I have no fear. Don't forget to order the ribbon cable with it if you need one. This is my first few toe-dip into MCM, and so far I expect to return until I a blow threw all my rent! -------

Ian, Rhino keeper
Amala, the Greater One -Horned Rhinoceros arrived at Taronga Western Plains Zoo last year from Los Angeles. She is a future breeding partner for Dora, our adult male Greater One-Horned Rhino. Amala is only four years old and weighs approx 1200kgs. We will consider introducing this pair when Amala is a little older and approaching 1600kgs. Amala has settled into her new home quite well and is becoming comfortable with her daily routine.
Greater One-Horned Rhinos are native to Northern India and Nepal, There are approximately 2500 left in the wild and conservation of this species in the wild is a priority. I recently travelled to India's Manas and Kaziranga National Parks to witness two conservation projects sponsored by the Taronga Conservation Society Australia. To see these magnificent animals in the wild was amazing, I not only saw Rhinos, but many other animals such as Elephants, Water Buffalo and Wild Boar that benefit from conservation efforts in these National Parks.
The Taronga Conservation Society Australia is working with its partners the International Rhino Foundation and the Asian Rhino Project to help secure wild rhino populations.

Global and native breeding programs are helping secure a future for endangered species.

Vapor Max Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Late summer and early fall are prime hunting seasons. These months are often to warm for insulated hunting gear, and by afternoon, too warm to even be outside. But if a year's worth of hunting drive takes you into the woods with your bow or rifle Wasatch Vapor Max is a great place to start.
Vapor Max is made from 100% sweat-wicking polyester fabric that pulls perspiration away from your skin and moves it to the outer fabric where it evaporates away. This process you from feeling clammy when it's hot, and helps keep you warm on chilly mornings. Odorsmart™ Technology uses silver ions to control the bacteria that causes body odors, a trait you'll appreciate when stalking deer and your buddies will appreciate in camp. Vapor Max's wicking properties make it ideal as either a Base Layer, or an only layer. The comfortable, loose fit of the shirt means it is comfortable and non-binding — traits you need when drawing a bow or swinging on doves.
Wasatch Fieldwear is available in popular camo patterns to help you melt into whatever background you are hunting in.
- 100% Polyester Vapor Max fabric

Good Enough … Just Isn't
We deliver the results others can't.
From learning the math tochanging the landscapeStephen P. Adams onstudying successFrom Learning the Math
"Numbers speak to me. That's why I focused on studying the foundations of finance and economics in the States and abroad. Learning about ROI metrics and cost analysis, was good enough to begin understanding the science of calculated risk taking. But I thrive on outperforming and I'm a born risk taker. The world has taught me that the best payoffs come when you tackle obstacles without taking the easy route. The bigger the challenge the better, because anything worth having shouldn't come easy. You've got to earn it every step of the way."To Changing the Landscape
"Once you reach a certain level in our industry, it's easy to lose touch with your teams in the field. That's the challenge we faced. If we wanted to dramatically impact our portfolio value with minimal risk, it would take more focus on the field, teaching the same foundations I learned in finance—and using the right tools. A lot of our people relied on outdated methods like comp calling and spreadsheets for price setting. YieldStar helped us change that. We became more scientific and precise, and partnering with our people drove our extraordinary portfolio performance."
From legal legacy toleading milestoneSTEVE LAMBERTI ONDOMINATING THE MARKETFrom Legal Legacy
"As the son of a small-town judge, I grew up with a strong sense of knowing to do the right thing. Not just for me, but for others as well. I could have gone to law school. Right? That would have been good enough. But I had something to prove to myself – to step outside the familiar. To be truly challenged. I never wanted to be the guy who said, 'I wish I would have.' Real estate was that challenge. So I faced it, and never looked back."To Leading Milestone
"We were determined to be the highest performing REIT. We needed a revenue management system to empower our people to dominate the market. So we put YieldStar to the challenge. And after testing it in the ring, it was clearly the undisputed champ. The results exceeded all our expectations. Accelerated our revenue growth. And sustained our momentum in the market. Since YieldStar's been in our corner, we consistently outperform our competition."
From A Leap of Faith toEXECUTIVE OF THE YEARJULIE SMITH ONACHIEVING DISTINCTIONFrom a Leap of Faith
"I could have stayed in Niagara Falls after graduating from college. That would have been good enough. But I took a leap of faith and moved to D.C.—without a whole lot of money and even fewer contacts. Then I started making connections. Someone recommended I take a position in property management, even though I had no experience. But within two years, I was opening communities throughout the mid-Atlantic and had an incredible mentor who helped me find a real home in multifamily."To Executive of the Year
"Bozzuto has really distinguished itself in how we create a sense of home for our residents. This has been a winning philosophy behind our success—and how we grew to nearly 43,000 apartments in more than 160 communities. But choosing the right revenue management system was crucial if we wanted to outperform. Our teams have complete confidence in YieldStar, and it allows them to spend more time building relationships. It also gives residents the flexibility they want to fit their lifestyles. YieldStar has been an ideal partner in shaping our renters' experiences."
Achieve Optimal Revenue Performance
YieldStar's unsurpassed market data, unit availability insights, competitor pricing, local market trends, and other key variables make it possible to achieve optimal revenue performance.
Total Revenue Transparency
YieldStar calculates and discloses all the key variables used to arrive at your optimal recommended price – driving your revenue 3% to 7% over market.

Danielle Hoskins body lay in the woods off Cochran Short Route for more than 20 hours before she was pronounced dead, Twiggs County Coroner Harold Reece said.
An autopsy Friday morning at the GBI crime lab in Macon confirmed that the 37-year-old mother of four died of multiple gunshot wounds in the woods off the Longleaf Pine Trail at the Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge on Ga. 129, or Ocmulgee East Boulevard.
They were sporadic shots in the torso area, Twiggs County Sheriff Darren Mitchum said.
Her husband of 19 days, Marcus D. Hoskins, 45, went before Twiggs County Magistrate Judge David Brown at 3 p.m. Friday, said Twiggs Chief Deputy Billy Boney.
Hoskins was read the charges against him, including felony murder and kidnapping, and was bound over to Superior Court due to the severity of the crime.
The sheriff said bond wont likely be granted, since Hoskins is on probation in Ben Hill County, where he was convicted of aggravated assault on a peace officer.
The Georgia Department of Corrections website says he was released from prison in May.
Although Hoskins confessed to Jones County deputies that he killed his wife, Mitchum said they are processing all the evidence for possible prosecution.
He could still plead not guilty and we have to be able to prove it, Mitchum said.
Although investigators originally said she was killed Wednesday evening, they have pinpointed the shooting to between 1:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. Wednesday, after the couple returned from visiting her daughter in an Atlanta area hospital, Mitchum said. She was pronounced dead about 10:30 a.m. Thursday.
Her remains were released to Macon Memorial Park Funeral Home, where she formerly worked.
Visitation will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.
The funeral for Hurley Danielle Kelly Thompson Hoskins is set for Monday at 11 a.m. in the chapel of the funeral home, located at 3969 Mercer University Drive. Burial will follow in the Kelly family cemetery.

I am a student and friend of Eli Knight, i am submitting him for the best father contest because he has impacted my life as a teacher and friend. Eli is the proud father of a beautiful 6yr old daughter named Kindle. In this picture Eli is talking to Kindle after a game of frisby. The frisby was Kindle's and it got broken during the game and she was upset. I Know everyone will submit a photo here and tell why their dad is the best, but i would like to explain why I have nominated my friend ELi. I can best explain this by saying what a father should be, having never had the luxury of this type of father myself. A father is exactly what Eli is, a teacher and a friend. He puts his child's well being before his own and is always there to guide her, help her, and love her through every moment of her life. Eli is raising a beautiful human being by being compassionate and allowing the beauty of her life experience to unfold by guiding her and holding the space for her to be herself while loving her unconditionally. I am touched to say that i know when Kindle becomes an adult she will look back on her childhood and be thankful for the father she had. I know Kindle will always be able to trust her dad and come to him with anything, during every wave life brings. I envy the friendship, guidance, love and wisdom that Kindle receives everyday by her father, and know she will grow up to be a beautiful and wise young woman. Because I know all to well the experience of a bad father, I feel i can accuratly nominate the best, and that is Eli Knight.

During this 3-day event, runners will run, eat, and live together while completing nearly 110 miles through southern Ohio. This event will be fully supported, providing runners with meals, hydration, and all things needed to complete such an event. Blue Blazes Ultra allows runners to participate in a point-to-point event, never seeing the same path twice, and seeing some of the great scenery Ohio has to offer. The course runs from Loveland, Ohio, through the beautiful Caesars Creek and John Bryan State Parks, Xenia, Yellow Springs, Springfield, and ends in Fairborn. The course covers terrains such as bike paths and some streets, as well as singletrack racing through the state parks. Runners will be provided with food and nourishment for the length of their stay. Aid stations will be posted throughout the routes at various points and meals will be available to all participants at breakfast and dinner. Runners will sleep in a tent city in different locations each night. The race will also be fully equipped with medical aid, as a medic will be on staff all weekend. Each morning runners will leave the campsite in a mass start and run to that day's final point. With all tents, gear bags, luggage, food, and supplies waiting at the finish line, runners will have no worries about transporting their belongings from point to point. Each day will be a different race distance. Day one (Friday) will consist of a 50K. Day two will be the longest and toughest day at 50 miles, starting and ending in different state parks. And finally on Sunday runners will complete a marathon to get through the finish line. Each individual race will have awards for all finishers. The 3-day event will also have awards for overall top three for both men and women, based on cumulative time. All those who complete all three races will receive a belt buckle after they've crossed the finish line on Sunday. Whether you're out to race each day or you're just out to have fun and meet some new people, Blue Blazes Ultra is sure to be an event to remember!

VirtIO is an attempt to create an OS, hypervisor-neutral and bus-independent virtual device system. The initial implementations were in KVM/Qemu, using PCI as a bus, and lguest (using a custom lguest bus). In 2009 a draft specification was published covering network, block and console devices, and features and devices have been added in a backwards compatible manner since then. Slowly, other systems have been implementing virtio compatible devices, including FreeBSD's bhyve.
In 2013, using OASIS as the standard organisation, a 1.0 standard is emerging. This talk will describe the changes which are happening: Our goal is to keep the good, discard the bad, and make the ugly optional. We'll also talk about everyone's favourite subject: performance, and where we're going in future.

Monday, March 26, 2012
Valparaiso opened the spring portion of its golf schedule on Monday at the Butler Spring Invitational, and currently sits in fourth place, just two strokes out of second, after the opening 18 holes of play at Prestwick Country Club in Avon, Ind.
The Crusaders fired a first round 301 and are just two shots behind tournament host Butler for second place while Cleveland State is third, just one stroke ahead of the Brown and Gold. Dayton leads the way after carding an opening round 289.
"For our first competitive round of the spring, I was proud of the guys and the effort that they put out there today," head coach Dave Gring said after the round. "We had a tough last few holes for the round from each of our guys, but we are in a good position to finish favorably in the tournament. We had an excellent balance of scores from all seven players, and we are excited to play the second round tomorrow."
Thomas Wettstein (Neenah, Wis./Xavier H.S.) led the way for Valpo shooting a two-over par 74 on the 6,960-yard, par-72 layout. He finished one shot ahead of teammate Kyle Henning (Brookfield, Wis./East H.S.). Brad Winters (Elgin, Ill./Saint Edward H.S.) and Austin Gaugert (Lake Geneva, Wis./Badger H.S.) each fired opening round 76s to round out the Crusaders' scoring on Monday. Andy Webb (Bedford, Ind./North Lawrence H.S.) added a round of 79.
Eric Winters (Elgin, Ill./Saint Edward H.S.) and Josh Kalita (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton H.S.), playing as individuals, shot first round scores of 78 and 80 respectively.
Valparaiso will return to the links on Tuesday morning to wrap up play in the 36-hole event. Play will begin at 8 a.m. CDT.

MAl~ FIL£ COPY
S\5eech of Senator Mike Mansfield (D . , Montana)

Ff. 1 6 1956
REVIEW OF FOREiGN POLICY - II
Mr. President:
In recent weeks members of the Sanate have add.res sed themselves
to the question of the need for a review of th~ foreign policies of the nation.
When I discussed the question here in the Senate on January 2 0th, I made this
I intend to raise the issues of foreign policy
on the floor at intervals throughout the session . I hope
to do so in the spirit of national responsibility and without
challenging the integrity or the pat.riotisrn of any
individual o r the political party now in control of t_hc
Executive Branch of th~ government. I will b(; only too
glad to give credit, whc:e credit is due . By th~ same
token, however, I do not propose to ignore or glcs s
over the shortcomings, weaknesses and inadequacies of
foreign policy as I see them.
Mr. President, it is in that spirit that I shall attempt to make a
contribution to the review today.
Let me begin by saying that I believe that the;re is only one valid
justification for the enormous and costly responsibilities which this country has
assumed throughout the world in the last decade. Peace for this country has
become increasingly inseparable from peace everywhere. The fate of our free-dom
is linked to that of freedom elsewhere in the world.
I do not share the views of those who contend that some sort of
mystical world leadership compels us to act abroad in every situation. I do not
agree with those who hold that we must asG crt this l eadership by flexing our
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 10, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 2 -
nuclear or vocal muscles at the slightest provocation. Nor do I agree with
those who argue that this same leadcrsh1p requires us to spend billions simply
to prove that we are more generous than the Russians.
On the other hand, I have no comrr.on ground with those who 1gnore
the vast changes wh1ch have taken place in tha international po::lition of the
United States. We are in this world -- this small, crowded, dangerous and
promising world - - whethe r we like it or not. No ancient dream of isolated
splendor will insulate us from its currents. That was a fin~ dream and an
appealing one, that nin<.tet.nth century dr~am of a safe and contented America,
removed from the troubles of the rest of the wo rld. It has not been the l e ade rs
- - Republicans or Democrats - - in the White House or the Department of State
who have shattered it, Rather, it has been the sc4entists and the te chnologists
of whom this country has produced its share and of whom we arc justifiably proud.
For those -- and I belie ve only a few remain -- for those who still persist in
that dream of isolation, unmoved by the jet planes and guided missiles overhead,
I suppose there will be no awakening except for that instant of reality before some
nuclear holocaust blasts us all into extinction .
What I am trying to say is that the United States cannot escape
from the r ealities of this era of human histot the situation prior to World V'ar II, the fact
is that Western colonialism is deatl o r dying throuehout Southeast Asia. The
Southeast Asia of yesterday is no mor e . Where once there were colonies, there
are now free nations -- some t en of them within a compass marl.l progress and rcspvnsible and humane
government - - these art! th .... drives whtch hav~ spurred the vast changccs in Southeast
Asia during the past decade. And th .... y •vill c<,ntinu ... tc dominate
developments in that r egion in the decades thal lie ahead.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 10, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

The policies of this country must take these forces fully into consideration.
They must also take into conside1 at ion still another factor. Each
government in Southeast Asia has its own concepts 0f how to pursue its national
objectives. Sometimes these concepts will not be in accord with our own. When
there are variations between their vi~ws and uur s as to how to proceed, we can
propound, we can propose, and we can palliate . There is one course we cannot
afford to take, in all duo r e spect to their incep ~ ndence and our national dignity.
Wi! cannot aff0rd to follow a foreign policy based on pique or plcasur~ with the
words of this Asian leader or that. What wr.., r\o now in uur relations with Southeast
Asia will have a significance for this country long after thu contemporary
l eaders both there and here have passed from the scene.
Mor ~ important than curr{;nt diso.g;:eements ove r .nethods and per-sonalities
is the !act that th~re is nolhing inconsistent a s between the objectives
of the Southeast Asian peoph: and our l ong -rang~:: interests. Their objectives are
in many ways a replica of our own basic national as pi rations . We too have
struggled through re 11olution and wars to establish and to preserve national
independence. We too havl! sought material progress from the earliest days of
our history . We too have worked to p0rf-.!ct our political institutions .
As the n ew nations of South'-ast Asia progress toward their basic
objectives, this nation gains 1n the process. Why is that the case? To begin
with, one of our principal concerns witn respect to Southeast Asia is a s ecurity
interest. It is a legitimate interest, for it was into the weakn<..ss of Southeast
As1a that the militarists of World War II pcndratcd as a pr econdition for their
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 10, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 8 -
attack on the United Stato:::s . As the Southeast Asian nations strengthen the bases
of their independence , our own security is increased.
We also have an interest in the material development of Southeast
Asia. The people of Asia are not without their genius and creative energy.
Their magnificent achievements of the past - - and there are many ·- suggest
the dynamic contribution which these people can make to the general enrichment
of mankind in the modern era. Out of their development, moreover, can come
growing opportnnities for mutually beneficial trade and exchange. Our total
commerce with Western Europe , an area of comparable size and population, was
over $7 billion in 1955. With Southeast Asia, it was $3 billion. The difference
only begins to suggest the ultimate possibilities of trade if Southeast Asia
develops in an economic sense.
We have finally an interest in the political progress of Southeast Asia.
Let me emphasize, however, the distinction between interest and interference in
these matters. It is one thmg to look with sympathy on the adoption of American
concepts of democracy by others. It is another to attempt to sell these concepts
to them. A number of the new governments of Southeast Asia reflect the influence
of the American Constitution, the Declaration of Independe nce and other great
state papers. That is a mark of recognition of the universality of our greatest
political minds. It ought to be a suurce of both prid0 and humility to this
generation of Americans. It is a disgraceful disrespect, however, to talk of
exporting our system of gove rnment or the A·neric'ln way as though it were some
article of commerce to be marketed by Madisc,n Av· nuc.
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 10, Mansfield Library, University of Montana

Let the Chinese and oth..:r communist nations persist in that false
sense of mission which requires them to force their own peculiar systems on the
unreceptive. It does not serve the interests or the dignity of this country to
suggest that we emulate it.
There arc signs that over the past decade the Southeast Asian
countr ies have movii!d towa-rds all th r ee of their basic objectives. I bas.: this
observation on my vis;t t<"' Southeast Asia last fall and on reports by other
members of Congt·~s3 and by press cor r e:spondents . The r 0 are limited but
unmistakable signs of progr..:ss . In most countries a tolerable measure of
internal o r der now pr evails o Th<:l great thr<..at of a communist Tr'!ilitary advance
through Indochina into the balance of Southeast Asia has receded, at least for
the moment. Production of crops is rising . New industries are being developed .
Commodities from Japan and the Western nations are appearing in the mar kets
of Southeast Asia in increaned supply . Perhaps most significant, free elections
were held last year in virtually ev..;ry countr y in the region . In some cases,
these were the firs t general elections with unive r sal suffrage eve r to take place
in these nations . Whatever their shor tcomings, they typify the zealous sear ch
for more responsible government which is going on in most of the Southeast Asian
countries o
We shall make a tragic error, however, i£ we tak11 the first signs
of progress as assurance of a secure future fe-r Southeast Asia . The area is a
long way from that . The shadow of tht:: militant Chin~se colossus still s lants
across its neighbors to the south. A lull iu the conflict in Indochina is no

guarantee that it shall not be resumed by the communists in the near future. A
satisfactory rate of economic d~velopment by ~ven the most dementary standards
is still lacking in most of the countrh:s, Some of thz governments in the area are
plagued by a corruption and in-.:rtia ·.vhich tend to Oj)er. rc.the r than narrow the
gulf between then1 and the~r peoples.
W·::. have, I believe, played some small part in the progress of
Southeast Asia. Our policies with respect to Southeast Asia have been effective
to the extent that tht:y hav...: b..!en in harmony with thE:: fundamental objectives of
the peoples of that area. They have been effuctive to the extP.nt that they have
supported the desire for secure national independence, for material progress,
and for r espor1sible political institutivns.
Mr. President, I should like now to turn to the rrajor aspects of
these policies and to their shortcomings as I see them. Let me say first that I
r ecognize that policy for Southeast Asia cannot be divorced from consideration of
policy elsewhere. The Administration, for example, may have r easons for
continuing -- as it has done --for continuing conversations between an American
Ambassador and a Chines e Communist r epresentative for seven months in Geneva.
There may be reasons, reasons which the Administration has not seen fit to make
public, reasons of which the Senate is not aware. Nev~rthPll:!ss, I know that
these conversations must be a cause of uneasiness to many members of the
In the same way, they are a source of uncertainty in many countries
in Southeast Asia. Questions naturally arioe there as wt!ll as in the Senate as to
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 10, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 11 -
where these conversati0ns are leading. Thay have the effe ct of introducing a
note of uncertainty into all of our policies in that area.
The conversations effect also the large overseas Chinese population
in Southeast Asia, numbc:ring several millions, who are s~ttled in communities
like Singapore , Djakarta and Bangkok. The loyalties of these communities have
teetered betwe: cn Peking and Formosa for a decade . What this country does or
does not do respecting the Chinese Communist 1·egime exercises a very great
influence on them .
I repeat I dv not question the right of the Administration to talk with
the Chinese Communists, if it so desires. I mer ely point to these conversations
as one example of how actions by this government presumably made necessary
by conditions e ls ewhe re hav-.: an inevitable impact on our policies in Southeast
Asia. One could also point to olh~.:rs a5, for example, the conditions which grow
out of our close relations with Western European nations. These relations have
sometimes led to actions o r s taterrents affecting Southeast Asia which have been
-- to say the l east -- not wdl r eceived thl.!re.
In the absence of full information, we must assume that the
Executlve Branch would not make adjustments of this kind if they were avoidable.
It seems to me, how eve r, that even when due allowance is made for the
unavoidable, our policies fo r Southeast Asia remain characterized by an
inad~quacy of understanding and an inertia of ideas .
The principal instrument of policy through which we have: attempted
to assist th0 nations of SoutlH.ast Asia in maintaining th~ir independence is the
Mike Mansfield Papers, Series 21, Box 38, Folder 10, Mansfield Library, University of Montana
- 12 -
treaty that bears the r.ame of the region. At the request of the President, I was
a delegate to the Manila Conft:rencc at which the Southeast Asia ddense treaty
was drawn up. Togctht;.; r with the Secretary of State and the distinguished
Senator from New Jersey j_Mr. Smit!:7 I signed ~he tr~:aty on h~half of the
United States. The Senate gave its consent to ratification by a vote of 82 to l.
If the Senate will recall the situahon which existed in 1954 when the
treaty was considered, its significance will b~ appreciated. It was signed at a
time when the communist drive into Indochina thr!o:atened to spill over into the
r est of Southeast Asia. The treaty was int-.!ndcd primarily to rally the will of
other Asian nations to protect their indcpendeoct; and to resist a further advance
of communist t.:>talitarianism.
I sig.1ed that treaty and I cast my vote for its ratification. I did so
with a full awareness of its limitations.
I signed because I believed the treaty served a usefnl purpose in
terms of this nation's interest in peace and in freedom. 1 believe it continues
to do so. And so long as we remain a party to it, the obligations which we have
assumed under it must remain inviolate.
Situations changt.:, however, and as they do we must be prepared to
adjust this treaty as well as other policies accordingly. The principal limitation
of the treaty when it was signed, as it is now, is that it carries too heavy a
reliance for the defense of Southeast Asia on nations outside the area. It has,
moreover, yet to secure the participation of nations lik0 India, Burma, Ceylon
and Indoncs ia whose i.nterests in th

Hello! I've bought a new calibrator and calibrated my monitor. The colors looks different now. But it seems to me they doesn't look ok. They are too dark and ... pinkish. I don't know what to think. How can I check if my calibrator works right?
Open a grayscale test image full-screen and look for color casts. Take your time and let the eye adapt! It could be that the ambient light is playing tricks on you, or that you're simply used to a previous color cast.
Next make a black to white gradent. It should be smooth all the way and ideally you should be able to make out all the 256 levels as individual steps. Look for any sudden transistions or color banding.
What kind of calibrator, what monitor? What are your target settings (gamma, white point temperature, white point luminance, black point)?
Luminance is a tricky one. In a "normally lit" environment you should aim for 100 - 120 cd/m², whereas most LCDs natively are up in the 300-400 range, IOW far too bright. But this depends on the ambient light. You should adjust brightness in the monitor's OSD controls, but for this the calibrator should have a way to read the value off the screen. If it doesn't, then go for a setting that gives a good match to printed output (where the white point luminance is fixed: the paper).
In terms of the prints being too dark (or just darker than the calibrated display), see:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/why_are_my_prints_too_dark .shtml
In terms of testing the display:
Try checking it with online calibration tools. Screencheck, for example,can help you to determine if your screen is set to the correct brightness and color.


text: With any Kerdi joint, you want a 2" overlap, in this case, to the niche material. If you can't get that, then I'd want to seal those edges with the KerdiFix. As long as the dryset mortar is a quality one, and I don't consider some of the entry level, price leader stuff quality (they may meet the minimum spec, but they don't spread or work as well as the better stuff), the Kerdi should be fine if you follow Schluter's instructions. Because the Hardie material is VERY thirsty, to keep from sucking too much water out of the thinset before it gets a chance to bond (remember, thinset cures, incorporating the water into its chemical structure, it doesn't dry), you want to wash the dust off the Hardie and go over it with a damp sponge just before spreading the thinset. This is more important in the winter when the air tends to be drier, too...the combination of dry air and dry cbu, can compromise the bond. After installing, especially until you get the hang of it, pull it back and check the coverage - it should have a full coat of thinset embedded into the fleece. If the consistency is correct, it will then lay back down and you can work out any excess mortar to re-embed it well. You should not be able to see trowel notches after embedding the stuff - it will have a fairly consistent color all across the material. Dont' try to work with too big of a piece at once, the thinset will skin over before you can embed it properly. IF you're using the Kerdiband, you can install that first, or over the sheets - it doesn't matter. I think it's a little easier to do the seams with the band, then install the sheets. Deal with the corners either before or after, but get the seams in first. From a waterproofing standpoint, as long as the seam overlap is good, it really doesn't matter, though, and you may find you like to do it after. I think it's easier to get nice clean corners with the band, then you can run the sheet closer to the corner.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I took quite some time looking at many sites and by far Wedding Paper Divas surpassed all other sites with both user friendly choices and alternate options for editing. This specific Save The Date was great! I lived the style and the product shipped so quick! The picture was very clear and the text was also classic and clean. This product was set up great for mail by postcard. No items were covered by the postal service barcode or sticker. (Something to look out for!)"
"My fiance and I picked this save the date out together. We liked that we could change the color on the bottom to the one closest to our wedding colors. The printing and paper quality was nice. I wasn't sure about the sizing, (got the smallest one) and realized they were very small. I really liked that they were post cards so we could use cheaper postage and saved some money. I would recommend wedding paper divas to any of my friends even if it's just for an event!"
"I customized my order color for free. I chose the cheapest shipping option and the order came a week earlier than I was told it would arrive. The designer did a great job. I love my save the dates! Only thing that came as a surprise was the size of the postcard. It was smaller than anticipated, but that was my fault for not paying attention to the dimensions."
"Loved the ability to personalize the font and the size and customer service was great in helping us fit our names on the front. The design is perfect for accenting and not detracting from the photo. I love this whole product suite. Thank you!"
"We ordered these save-the-date postcards, and were thrilled with the final product! The available personalization options were perfect, and we were grateful for the complementary review of our layout and text prior to printing. The cards were printed and shipped within days of ordering, and we were able to mail them out the same week! We've already gotten feedback from friends and family on how beautifully the cards turned out."

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Legislation to require drug screening of welfare recipients has failed by one vote in the Virginia Senate.
All 20 Democrats voted against the measure Monday in the evenly divided Senate. Republican Sen. Harry Blevins of Virginia Beach did not vote, denying the GOP a 20th vote that would have allowed Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling to break the tie.
Last year, Bolling cast a tie-breaking vote in favor of similar legislation, which died in the House.
Sen. Bill Carrico's bill would have required an initial drug screening of applicants, followed by testing if officials suspected illegal drug use. Anyone testing positive could lose benefits for a year.
Supporters said the bill would ensure taxpayer money isn't supporting drug use. Opponents said it's unfair to single out poor people.

"Smell...transports us across thousands of miles and all the years that we have lived." - Helen Keller.Essences
Everyone can identify with these words from Helen Keller. However, most of us miss the point! Being reminded of a comforting smell from another place, or time, is not just about rekindling memories of a favorite pie, or your mother's kitchen. It is far more powerful than that. The senses are stimulated, just as they were the first time around ... you are reliving the experience, in every sense of the word.
In essence therefore, (which illustrates how this expression came about) you can leave the day behind and escape with a favorite aroma. Aromatherapy is already a part of our lives, although we may not have used the term. Everyone has emotional responses, both pleasant and unpleasant, to certain scents.
Far more than "mind games", we are experiencing greater difficulty than ever before in maintaining a dividing line between the mind and the physical body, or the stimulus and the response.
Where did the term "Aromatherapy" come from?
The rebirth of interest in essential oils, along with the term, aromatherapy - more precisely: "Aromatherapie" - itself; is credited to a Frenchman around the time of the First World War.
Ren?-Maurice Gattefoss? was a French chemist who worked in his family's perfumery business. He was familiar with the essential oils but only for cosmetic. One day, whilst working in his laboratory, he burned his hand severely in an explosion. Immediately he plunged his hand into the nearest liquid, which happened to be lavender essence. To his amazement the burn healed without infection or scarring in next to no time.
As a result, Gattefoss? turned his attention to the medical properties of essential oils and their beneficial effects on skin conditions. He tried out essential oils on patients in military hospitals duringthe First World War and was impressed at the results he obtained by using oils from chamomile essence, lemon essence and thyme essence.
Others followed his lead. Professor Paolo Rovesti, Director of the Instituto Derivati Vegatali in Milan, for example, was able to show that depression and anxiety could be relieved by the inhalation of the oils from certain plants. He believed that these smells helped to bring to the surface repressed emotions and memories which were contributing to the ill health of his patients.
So, as we learn more, we also learn there is the so much more to learn. At the same time, when the tomb of Tutankhamun was opened in 1922, the odors of the preservatives used were still detectable and pots were found containing myrrh and frankincense essence.
Ancient Egyptians
Perhaps no other culture understood the interrelationship of plants for food, medicine and the expression of our 'spiritual' selves than the ancient Egyptians. For them, the magic and mystery of aromatherapy permeated the whole of their daily existence. Records from 4500 BC identify the practice of medicine, ritual, embalming and astrology with fragrant spices, oils, resins and bark; even their beers wines and vinegars were scented.
The prescribed remedy for hay fever was a mixture of aloe, antimony, honey and myrrh. a A combination of acacia, coloquinte, dates and honey was placed in the vagina to ferment into lactic acid as a contraceptive measure - an effective spermicide!
The Egyptian botanical gardens contained plants brought from as far away as China and India.
Foods were infused with fragrances that also helped the digestive processes. Caraway essence, coriander essence and aniseed essence were 'additives' to bread. Garlic was even given to the slaves who built the pyramids to ensure that sickness did not interfere with the important job of building a tomb for their pharaoh. (Even today some desperate men choose to rub garlic oil (see under garlic essence on their bald heads!)
It can truly be said that ancient Egyptians were the first aromatherapists.
The Modern Era
The contemporary image of "aromatherapie" can be attributed to another French biochemist Marguerite Maury, who linked the use of essential oils with massage to the areas around the spine and the face. She also innovated the concept of blending particular oils to suit the needs of individual clients.
Whilst treating clients for cosmetic problems, not only did their skin disorders clear but they experienced pleasurable side effects such as improved sleep, reduced symptoms of rheumatism and increased mental alertness. Sometimes these benefits endured for weeks, or even months, after the cessation of treatment.
Is the effect measurable?
Smell is one of our primary senses. Our sense of smell, or olfactory receptors, are located at the central core of the brain, inside the cerebral cortes, actually within the limbic system, which is also responsible for our emotions and memories.
Research is now able to quantify just how important aromatic messages are to our emotional well-being and state of health.
Through the use of EEGs (electroencephalographs) to monitor brainwaves, it is possible to actually see what is happening, in real time, as a smell is perceived by the brain and the responses of the subject.
A state of mental alertness has been observed when the individual is breathing in such aromas as peppermint, rosemary and basil essence. Not only are more beta waves (i.e. mental alertness) produced but subjects were more accurate in performing tasks than controls, who did not breathe scented air. The more energy we feel, the more able are we to cope with what life throws at us. Some essential oils may even help the immune system to function more effectively and provide greater resistance to infection.
Other fragrances elicit more alpha, theta and delta waves (i.e. a more relaxed and meditative state of mind). Spiced apple, for example, has been clinically proven to lower blood pressure. Such findings are encouraging for those who find it difficult to relax, or fall asleep, or sleep fitfully. Odors are perceived during sleep and fragrances were relaxing.
Aromatherapy is definitely a way to improve the quality of life on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
The key to aromatherapy is to find the scents, unique for each individual, that evoke positive sensory feelings and emotions.
How Much Essential oil should I use?
The proportion of essential oil to carrier oil is also variable. However, more is not necessarily better - experience has shown that smaller amounts may achieve far more, particularly if the problem is an emotional or mental one. It is best, when starting with essential oils, to make up average concentrations.
To begin with you may just want to make up enough of a massage oil for one session. It is helpful to acquire a 5 ml plastic medicine spoon for this purpose. The concentration of essential oil should be from 1/2 to 3 per cent of the carrier oil. This will depend on the individual being massaged - their skin type, their age, and the purpose for which the oil is being used - as well as on the strength of the essential oil itself.
If you are going to apply the oil to the face, or if the subject of the massage is a child or elderly, or if the skin is sensitive you should start with a 1/2 per cent concentration. If there is no irritation then you can try increasing it to 1 per cent and then 2 per cent. If an essential oil is very strong it should not be used in concentrations above 1 to 1 1/2 per cent.
To make up small concentrations:
½ per cent - 1 drop essential oil to every two 5ml teaspoons carrier oil.
1 per cent - 1 drop essential oil to every 5 ml teaspoon carrier oil.
2 per cent - 2 drops essential oil to every 5 ml teaspoon carrier oil.
3 per cent - 3 drops essential oil to every 5 ml teaspoon carrier oil.
Use the 2 and 3 per cent concentrations for body massage, subject to the cautions mentioned above.
1 ml = 20 drops
5 ml = 100 drops (or 1 teaspoon)
1 drop per 5 ml = 1%.
You may want to make up larger amounts of facial or massage oils. These can then be stored in dark glass bottles for between two to three months. Fill a 50 ml glass bottle with the carrier.
To make up regular concentrations:
1/2 per cent - 5 drops essential oil to 50 ml carrier oil.
1 per cent - 10 drops essential oil to 50 ml carrier oil.
2 per cent - 20 drops essential oil to 50 ml carrier oil.
3 per cent - 30 drops essential oil to 50 ml carrier oil.
Specific recipes:
Oils especially appropriate for acne include: aspic (a form of lavender essence, calendula essence, chamomile essence, juniper essence, lavender essence, myrrh essence, myrtle essence, neroli essence, palmarosa, peppermint essence, tea tree essence and thyme essence.
A typical treatment for 'normal' skin would be to mix together 50 ml soya oil, 6 drops wheatgerm oil and 10 drops of the chosen essential oil.
For extra sensitive skin mix together 25 ml soya oil, 25 ml almond oil, 6 drops wheatgerm oil and 10 drops of the essential oil and apply to the skin directly or in a compress.
Bathing the affected skin with distilled water containing 6 drops of the essential oil, with:
2 drops cajeput essence each of,
2 drops juniper essence and
2 drops lavender essence.
Tea tree essence can be applied directly to spots with a cotton bud to stop infection.
Athlete's foot
Oils which can help in the treatment of this fungal infection include: geranium essence, lavender essence and tea tree essence. The feet can be soaked in hot water containing 2 drops of the essential oil. Alternatively, a small compress using the same oils can be applied.
Eczema / dermatitis
The essential oils considered to be the most appropriate for these problems, are: chamomile essence, fennel essence, geranium essence, hyssop essence, juniper essence, lavender essence and sandalwood essence.
If the eczema is dry then calendula oil is recommended as a carrier oil, while moist eczema requires a carrier lotion. Twelve drops added to 50 ml of the oil or lotion and applied to the affected area every morning or night will relieve the eczema.
Athletic massage (Post event, cooling):
1 oz sweet almond oil
5 drops spearmint essence
4 drops peppermint essence
3 drops wintergreen essence
PREGNANCY and Related Problems:-
If you suffer from swollen ankles or legs (edema), lavender essence, geranium essence , and rosemary essence (Rosemarinus officinalis) oils can all help, as drainage of excess fluid is thereby encouraged. A blend of the three oils in a carrier can be massaged gently, using upward strokes, into the feet and ankles.
Tepid to cool foot baths can relieve the symptoms of hot, tired or swollen feet.:
3 drops of geranium essence (or lemon essence) and
3 drops of lavender essence.
Full baths of lemon essence, mandarin essence (Citrus reticulata), or other citrus oils can act as a diuretic.
Morning sickness
A pleasant and relaxing aroma can be produced with a good mix of oils:
3 drops of lavender essence (Lavendula officinalis or Lavendula vera)
1 drop of peppermint essence (Mentha pipperita)
1 drop of eucalyptus essence (Eucalyptus globulus) if other members of the family are suffering from colds or flu.
Preconception [Fertility] Essential Oils
A man is wishing to increase his sperm count can take warm baths containing 4 to 10 drops of rose essential oil. (Hot baths can actually damage sperm.)
For the woman, rose essence can help to regulate the menstrual cycle and to tone the uterus. For best effect, have a sitz bath of tepid water with 3 to 7 drops of the oil.
Create a loving environment through massage. Try 4 to 7 drops of rose essential oil to 30 ml (6 tsp) carrier oil.
A combination of rose essence, with other essential oils, can be of particular benefit to a woman hoping to become pregnant.
To 60 ml (12 tsp or ¼ cup) of carrier add
2 drops of bergamot essence.
3 drops of clary sage essence,
4 drops of geranium essence,
3 drops of rose essence, and
2 drops of ylang-ylang essence,
You can use this mixture each night to relax you before sleeping.
Stretch marks
Massage with vegetable oils is the acknowledged way of deterring stretch marks. Wheatgerm, avocado, comfrey, marigold, hazelnut, almond, and safflower oils can all be used separately or together, either in their own right or as a carrier for essential oils.
Lavender essence, geranium essence, or mandarin essence are good aromas to add to the carrier. One recipe for an anti-stretch mark blend is:
30 ml hazelnut oil,
30 ml wheatgerm oil,
4 drops of neroli essence,
2 drops of carrot seed oil (Daucus carota) and
2 drops geranium essence.
Massage with this mixture twice daily on the areas prone to stretch marks. You could also add the blend to a warm bath, adding seaweed extract or seawater concentrate. After patting yourself dry, smooth in some more of the essential oil blend.
Varicose veins
If varicose veins do develop the essential oils to try are cypress essence, geranium essence, lavender essence and lemon essence.
Apply them singly or as a blend by way of alternating warm and cool compresses to the required area, keeping your legs raised.
Bathing may also help. Just add 3 drops of cypress essence and 3 drops of lemon essence to a warm bath.
Gentle massage can help. To 60 ml of carrier oil add 7 drops of cypress essence and 7 drops of lemon essence. Start your massage by using gentle strokes, moving upward from the feet.
Hemorrhoids have similar causes and are a similar condition to varicose veins. Sitz baths are particularly beneficial if hemorrhoids do develop.
Try a cool bath, to which is added:
7 drops of lemon essence.
Followed by a massage using:
60 ml of carrier oil
7 drops of cypress essence and
7 drops of lemon essence.
The problem can be treated with aromatic oils although the condition is very difficult to cure.
Treatments (apply morning and night) include:
10 ml wheatgerm oil with
2-3 drops of benzoin essence or cajeput essence.
Start treatment as soon as the symptoms appear. In 20 ml carrier oil:
2 drops geranium essence
2 drops sage essence and
2 drops thyme essence.
Onion essence and garlic essence are effective and can be taken internally in capsule form.
Essential oils can produce negative reactions, including toxicity and demand respect.
As a rule, never take an essential oil internally, unless the oil and the treatment have been specifically ordered by a clinical aromatherapist. (See accompanying table.)
The International Fragrance Association has issued some guidelines for restricted fragrances including the proportions in which they should be used. Aromatherapy oils mentioned, include: Angelica essence, Cassia essence, Cinnamon essence, Cumin, Peru Balsam, Sassafras and Verbena essence. Other oils which require close supervision are: Anise, Aspic, Coriander essence and Hyssop essence.
As for pregnancy, some aromatherapists do not recommend using essential oils, at all, in case of an adverse effect. Other aromatherapists promise benefits to pregnant women. However, there is general agreement on some oils that should be avoided entirely: Basil essence, Myrrh essence, Sweet Marjoram essence, Parsley And Juniper essence. Some of them can act as an abortifacient. Consult an aromatherapist first before applying any oils if there is any chance of being pregnant.
It is possible to have an allergic reaction to an essential oil and you will recall the skin test that was mentioned earlier. If you have very sensitive skin: Basil essence, Bergamot essence, Geranium essence, Ginger essence, Lemongrass essence, Peppermint essence, Verbena essence or Ylang-Ylang essence, may cause a reaction, especially if the dilutions are over 1½ to 2 per cent and if the area to which the oil is being applied is the face or a similar sensitive spot. The index of essential oils contains the contraindications for each of those listed.
