Dean and Me
Dean and Me
A Love Story
Broadway Books, Paperback, 9780767920872, 340pp.
Publication Date: October 10, 2006
Before long, they were as big as Elvis or the Beatles would be after them, creating hysteria wherever they went and grabbing an unprecedented hold over every entertainment outlet of the era: radio, television, movies, stage shows, and nightclubs. Martin and Lewis were a national craze, an American institution. The millions (and the women) flowed in, seemingly without end and then, on July 24, 1956, ten years from the day when the two men joined forces, it all ended.
After that traumatic day, the two wouldn t speak again for twenty years. And while both went on to forge triumphant individual careers Martin as a movie and television star, recording artist, and nightclub luminary (and charter member of the Rat Pack); Lewis as the groundbreaking writer, producer, director, and star of a series of hugely successful movie comedies their parting left a hole in the national psyche, as well as in each man's heart.
In a memoir by turns moving, tragic, and hilarious, Jerry Lewis recounts with crystal clarity every step of a fifty-year friendship, from the springtime, 1945 afternoon when the two vibrant young performers destined to conquer the world together met on Broadway and Fifty-fourth Street, to their tragic final encounter in the 1990s, when Lewis and his wife ran into Dean Martin, a broken and haunted old man.
In "Dean & Me," Jerry Lewis makes a convincing case for Dean Martin as one of the great and most underrated comic talents of our era. But what comes across most powerfully in this definitive memoir is the depth of love Lewis felt, and still feels, for his partner, and which his partner felt for him: truly a love to last for all time.
JERRY LEWIS and Dean Martin sandwiched sixteen money-making films in between nightclub engagements, recording sessions, radio shows, and television bookings during their ten-year partnership. Over the following years Lewis remained in the spotlight as the groundbreaking creator and star of a series of hugely successful movie comedies, and scored triumphs in stage appearances in Europe, where he has been hailed as one of the greatest director-comedians of the twentieth century. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and has received numerous other honors for his tireless efforts in the fight against the fourty neuromuscular diseases.
JAMES KAPLAN has written novels, essays, and reviews, as well as over a hundred major profiles for many magazines, including" The New Yorker, "the" New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly," and "New York." In 2002 Kaplan coauthored the autobiography of John McEnroe, "You Cannot Be Serious," which was an international bestseller (and #1 on the" New York Times" list). He lives in Westchester, New York, with his wife and three sons.
"This is a wild, joyous book, but also a heartbreaking one. In some ways, friendships between men can be more fragile than those between women, something Lewis grasps intuitively. What kind of guy laughs when you upstage his crooning with a piece of raw meat on a fork? Whoever he is, you'd better hang onto him: he's probably the best friend you'll ever have."
—Stephanie Zacharek, The New York Times
They were the unlikeliest of pairs — a handsome crooner and a skinny monkey, an Italian from Steubenville, Ohio, and a Jew from Newark. But from the moment they got together, something clicked — something miraculous — and audiences saw it at once. Martin and Lewis were a national craze—an American institution. Then on July 25, 1956, ten years to the day after the two men joined forces, it all ended. Their parting left a hole in the national psyche, as well as each man's heart.
"A perceptive and entertaining showbiz memoir that should become a classic of its kind . . ."
—Bruce Handy, Vanity Fair
"a classic"
—Vanity Fair

I'm trying to import a Movabletype 3.x export into WordPress 2. All of my Movabletype entries contain javascript that runs my photo galleries.
After the import, WordPress shows the script source itself rather than treating the imported script as raw HTML/script text.
It appears that WordPress is actually stripping out the <script> and </script> tags during the import process. Is there any way to tell WordPress to "leave the imported script tags alone during the import process?"

MONTREAL (November 1, 2013) Canada's border services agency says three pumpkins found in a woman's luggage at the Trudeau International Airport in Montreal airport Thursday were stuffed with approximately nearly 4.5 pounds of cocaine.
Scanning equipment had detected masses inside the pumpkins.
Those masses turned out to be bags filled with the chalky substance.
A border agency spokeswoman was not able to say where the passenger was coming from or whether she was a Canadian citizen.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police took over the investigation.

NEW YORK - Cole Hamels had thrown more pitches yesterday afternoon than he had in any of the 248 big-league games that preceded it. He struggled with command, but he combatted a rising pitch count with sheer talent and perseverance.
He put six straight zeroes onto the scoreboard after allowing a single run in the first inning and, when his work was over following 133 pitches, the most any major league pitcher has thrown this season, Hamels retired to the clubhouse for his poststart workout.
He left the game with a two-run lead, which grew to three runs before the bottom of the ninth inning. He watched. He waited.

If today's momentum away from coal-fired power generation continues, what could the energy mix for commercial buildings look like in a decade or two?
If recent research is any indication, the breakdown won't be much different.
The use of coal is projected to increase 11% between 2009 and 2035, with natural gas going up 17%.
Non-hydroelectric renewables (such as wind, solar, and biofuels) are expected to increase 109%, according to the DOE's Buildings Energy Data Book, but accompanying growth in population (a 27% increase), households (31%), and commercial floor space (28%) is expected in that same timeframe.

Reid: Guantanamo Detainees Should Not Be Held In U.S. Prisons
Today, Senate Democrats announced that the Senate will strip $80 million in funding for closing Guantanamo until the Obama administration devises a specific plan for transferring detainees. The move comes as conservatives are pushing the claim that Guantanamo "terrorists" could escape into Americans' backyard if the facility is closed.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) declared in a press conference today, "We will never allow terrorists to be released into the United States." In several tense back and forths with reporters, Reid said he opposes imprisoning detainees on U.S. soil, saying flatly, "We don't want them around the United States":
REID: I'm saying that the United States Senate, Democrats and Republicans, do not want terrorists to be released in the United States. That's very clear.
QUESTION: No one's talking about releasing them. We're talking about putting them in prison somewhere in the United States.
REID: Can't put them in prison unless you release them.
QUESTION: Sir, are you going to clarify that a little bit? …
REID: I can't make it any more clear than the statement I have given to you. We will never allow terrorists to be released in the United States.
Later, Reid repeated that he would not support Guantanamo detainees being transferred to U.S prisons:
QUESTION: But Senator, Senator, it's not that you're not being clear when you say you don't want them released. But could you say — would you be all right with them being transferred to an American prison?
REID: Not in the United States.
A reporter then asked, "[I]f a detainee is adjudicated not to be a terrorist, could that detainee then enter the United States?" Reid refused to answer directly, saying, "Why don't we wait for a plan from the president? All we're doing now is nitpicking on language that I have given you. I've been as clear as I can." After being peppered by questions, Reid joked, "I think I've had about enough of this."
Reid said he wants Guantanamo closed, but his claim that he would not support transferring detainees to the U.S. clashes with this goal. Currently, dozens of convicted terrorists are being held securely in federal prisons, and the U.S. has already prosecuted 145 terrorism cases in federal court. Reid's position aligns him with Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK), who also opposes "the transfer of the detainees to US soil."
If not American prisons, where will detainees be sent after Guantanamo is closed?
After the press conference today, Reid's office released the following statement:
"President George W. Bush, Senator John McCain, Secretary Colin Powell, President Obama and I all agree – Guantanamo must be closed. President Obama's approach is a responsible one. […]
"The amendment Chairman Inouye has offered today recognizes that it would be premature for Congress to act before the Administration proposes its plan. I support his amendment. On two important points, however, we do not need to wait for any instruction – and there should be no misunderstanding. Let me be clear: Democrats will not move to close Guantanamo without a responsible plan in place to ensure Americans' safety. And we will never allow a terrorist to be released into the United States.
"This amendment is as clear as day. It explicitly bars using the funds in this bill to 'transfer, release or incarcerate' any of the Guantanamo detainees in the United States. When the Administration closes Guantanamo, we will ensure it does so the right way."

Melanoma/Skin Cancer Health Center
Genetics of Skin Cancer (PDQ®): Genetics - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Melanoma
Table 6. Environmental Exposures Other Than Sunlight Associated with Melanomaa continued...
A comparison of clinical features from 182 patients with CDKN2A mutations and 7,513 individuals without mutations found that individuals with CDKN2A mutations had a statistically significant younger age at diagnosis (mean age at diagnosis: 39.0 years vs. 54.3 years; P < .001). There was also a 5-year cumulative incidence of a second melanoma of 23.4% in mutation carriers and a rate of 2.3% in mutation-negative controls.[87] An Italian study performed genotype-phenotype correlations in 100 families with familial melanoma to determine clinical features predictive of the identification of a CDKN2A mutation. Probands with multiple primary melanomas, at least one melanoma with Breslow thickness greater than 0.4 mm, and more than three affected family members had a greater than 90% likelihood of having a mutation; probands with none of these features had less than a 1% likelihood of having a CDKN2A mutation. The most predictive feature was multiple primary melanomas.[88] Results from the Genes, Environment, and Melanoma study showed that first-degree relatives of CDKN2A mutation carriers with melanoma had an approximately 50% increased risk of cancers other than melanoma, compared with first-degree relatives of other melanoma patients.[89] Cancers with increased risk in this population included gastrointestinal cancers (relative risk [RR], 2.4; 95% CI, 1.4-3.7), pancreatic cancers (RR, 7.4; 95% CI, 2.3-18.7), and Wilms tumor (RR, 40.4; 95% CI, 3.4-352.7).
CDKN2A exon 1ß mutations (p14ARF) have been identified in a small percentage of families negative for p16INK4a mutations. In a study of 94 Italian families with two or more cases of melanoma, 3.2% of families had mutations in p14ARF.[90] At this time, testing for p14ARF is not commercially available.
Melanoma and pancreatic cancer
A subset of CDKN2A mutation carrier families also displays an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.[91,92] The overall lifetime risk of pancreatic cancer in these families ranges from 11% to 17%.[93] The RR has been reported as high as 47.8.[94] Although at least 18 different mutations in p16 have been identified in such families, specific mutations appear to have a particularly elevated risk of pancreatic cancer.[62,95] Mutations affecting splice sites or Ankyrin repeats were found more commonly in families with both pancreatic cancer and melanoma than in those with melanoma alone. The p16 Leiden mutation is a 19-base pair deletion in CDKN2A exon 2 and is a founder mutation originating in the Netherlands. In one major Dutch study, 19 families with 86 members who had melanoma also had 19 members with pancreatic cancer in their families, a cumulative risk of 17% by age 75 years. In this study, the median age of pancreatic cancer onset was 58 years, similar to the median age at onset for sporadic pancreatic cancer.[96] However, other reports indicate that the average age at diagnosis is 5.8 years earlier for these mutation carriers than for those with sporadic pancreatic cancer.[97] Geographic variation may play a role in determining pancreatic risk in these mutation carrier families. In a multicontinent study of the features of germline CDKN2A mutations, Australian families carrying these mutations did not have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.[98] It was also reported that similar CDKN2A mutations were involved in families with and without pancreatic cancer;[99] therefore, there must be additional factors involved in the development of melanoma and pancreatic cancer. Some families with CDKN2A mutations may have a pattern of site-specific pancreatic cancer only.[100,101] Conversely, melanoma-prone families that do not have a CDKN2A mutation have not been shown to have an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.[96]

Swiss Life Sees 'Challenging' Market After Profit Drops 30%
Swiss Life Holding AG, Switzerland's biggest life insurer, expects market conditions to remain "challenging" after second-half profit declined by 30 percent.
Net income fell to 202 million Swiss francs ($226 million), from 289 million francs a year earlier, according to Bloomberg calculations that were confirmed by the Zurich-based company. That missed the 209 million-franc median estimate of three analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. The insurer proposed an unchanged dividend of 4.50 francs per share.
"The dividend is in our view a strong sign that economic solvency remains adequate despite low interest rates," Stefan Schuermann, an analyst at Vontobel Holding AG, wrote in a note today. "The result appears a bit light on the profit side."
Swiss Life plans to make more savings after reducing annual costs by 404 million francs since 2009 and cutting 520 jobs in Switzerland. The insurer is also trying to reduce its dependency on investment income and compensate for a decline in revenue from selling life policies, known as wrappers, to wealthy clients of Swiss private banks.
Swiss Life climbed 2.2 percent to 104.30 francs, the highest since Nov. 4, at the close of Zurich trading, bringing this year's gain to 21 percent. That compares with the 14 percent increase in the 28-company Bloomberg Europe 500 Insurance Index.
Positive Investment Case
"At the current valuation, Swiss Life results only had to avoid being disastrous to reaffirm a positive investment case and, in our opinion, these figures have achieved that goal," Tim Dawson, an analyst at Helvea SA, wrote in a report. "Profits will hold up far better than is implied by the share price and the capital position remains acceptable."
Swiss Life, Zurich Financial Services AG and other insurers may post slower premium growth this year as the economy deteriorates, according to the Swiss Insurance Association. The company is targeting a return on equity of 10 percent to 12 percent by this year and a new business margin of 2.2 percent.
"Going forward, we do not expect much tailwind from the financial markets," Chief Executive Officer Bruno Pfister said in the statement. "We can expect persistently low interest rates and an extremely challenging financial market environment."
AWD Holding AG, the German financial services broker that Swiss Life bought in 2007, reported a 10 percent increase in operating profit to 54 million euros. That result was affected by 47 million euros in provisions for legal cases.
AWD founder Carsten Maschmeyer said on Dec. 7 that he will step down from Swiss Life's board of directors and cut his stake in the insurer to less than 3 percent.

Is there easy way to get notified on change in dynamic IP address without running a local server?
I'm aware that similar questions have been asked, but those questions and answers to them predicate a "server" being run and using a dynamic DNS service. I don't run a server on my machine and have no intention to.

Warrant issued for home invasion suspectStaff Report | February 07,2013A $75,000 arrest warrant has been issued for a man sought as a suspect in a reported home invasion in Rutland.
Rutland Police have been seeking Calvin B. Alexander, a 30-year-old Rutland man identified by witnesses as the man who kicked in the door at 110 Maple St., since the incident on Saturday.
Now, Rutland criminal court Judge Theresa DiMauro has issued a warrant for Alexander who police say also uses the aliases "Kevin Cross" and "Drama."
Christopher L. Orkins, 34, of Rutland, pleaded innocent Monday to aiding in the commission of a felony.
DiMauro issued the warrant for Alexander's arrest on Wednesday when he failed to appear in court to answer to felony charges of burglary in an occupied dwelling and aiding in the commission of a felony.
Witnesses at the Maple Street home told police Alexander kicked in their door and was followed in by at least three other men who discharged pepper spray into the living room.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

As the silicon industry continues to push the limits of device dimensions, tools such as Raman spectroscopy are ideal to analyze and characterize the doped silicon channels. The effect of inter-valence band transitions on the zone center optical phonon in heavily p-type doped silicon is studied by Raman spectroscopy for a wide range of excitation wavelengths extending from the red (632.8 nm) into the ultra-violet (325 nm). The asymmetry in the one-phonon Raman lineshape is attributed to a Fano interference involving the overlap of a continuum of electronic excitations with a discrete phonon state. We identify a transition above and below the one-dimensional critical point (E = 3.4 eV) in the electronic excitation spectrum of silicon. The relationship between the anisotropic silicon band structure and the penetration depth is discussed in the context of possible device applications. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The long-run and causal analysis of energy, growth, openness and financial development on carbon emissions in Turkey
The aim of this paper is to examine the causal relationship between financial development, trade, economic growth, energy consumption and carbon emissions in Turkey for the 1960–2007 period. The bounds F‐test for cointegration test yields evidence of a long-run relationship between per capita carbon emissions, per capita energy consumption, per capita real income, the square of per capita real income, openness and financial development. The results show that an increase in foreign trade to GDP ratio results an increase in per capita carbon emissions and financial development variable has no significant effect on per capita carbon emissions in the long- run. These results also support the validity of EKC hypothesis in the Turkish economy. It means that the level of CO2 emissions initially increases with income, until it reaches its stabilization point, then it declines in Turkey. In addition, the paper explores causal relationship between the variables by using error-correction based Granger causality models.

We moved to the Kyichu Hotel down the street because the breakfast was not edible, our guide had to ask that our room be made up because it was not touched at 2:30pm, it was a dark room with a cold cement floor, and we had to notify staff in order to get hot water. It is nice to see heritage in the Dretung Monestary like this but I don't want to live there.

Climate Change and Sea Level Rise: "An Emerging Hockey Stick"
by Peter Sinclair, cross-posted from the Climate Denial Crock of the Week
Since we have such an active community of armchair oceanographers and spreadsheet Glaciologists here, I thought it would be useful to speak to the real thing, the people who actually spend time on the ocean, on the ice sheets, do the measurements, and come back to share that knowledge with us. I had just that opportunity at the American Geophysical conference in December.
I spoke to Josh Willis, Oceanographer with NASA at the Jet Propulsion Lab. Josh is one of best known young ocean scientists on the planet. He pointed me to the recent Kemp et al study of tidal marshes on the US East coast, which has produced a long record of sea level over the last 2000 years, complete with a very Hockey-stickish uptick during the last 200 or so.
[JR: For more on that study, see "NSF Study: Fastest Sea-Level Rise in Two Millennia Linked to Increasing Global Temperatures."]
Jason Box of the Byrd Polar Center at Ohio State was there, presenting evidence of acceleration in Greenland ice loss over the last 200 years. His bottom line: "If we talk 10 years from now, my expectation is that Greenland will be losing roughly double what it is now."
I round out the video with takes from old pros lead NASA scientist Jim Hansen and Admiral David Titley, the US Navy's Chief Oceanographer:
— Peter Sinclair. For more great video segments check out ClimateCrocks.com.

- JPL finds Polar ice sheet mass loss is speeding up, on pace for 1 foot sea level rise by 2050:
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are losing mass at an accelerating pace, according to a new NASA-funded satellite study. The findings of the study — the longest to date of changes in polar ice sheet mass — suggest these ice sheets are overtaking ice loss from Earth's mountain glaciers and ice caps to become the dominant contributor to global sea level rise, much sooner than model forecasts have predicted.
7 Responses to Climate Change and Sea Level Rise: "An Emerging Hockey Stick"
We need to quantify the land mass which is affected from SLR and we have to start analyzing how much extra methane will be created from the flooded land mass. When SLR floods low lying land mass, the organic matter within these areas will start to create methane from accelerated composting. This in itself is a powerful feedback on the carbon cycle, from global warming induced SLR.
A very well done post, indeed. Props to Peter.
.@BillGates has World on the Edge features on his personal website. Thank you, Bill! bit.ly/zbbECU @EarthPolicy
Terribly encouraging news.
Box's comment about Greenland's ice loss likely doubling in 10 years is sobering, to say the least. That would peg it at about 700 billion tons of ice/year, using the PIOMAS long-term trend, considerably more for more recent time frames.
And in other Greenland news — it's getting darker:
This article is about methanogenesis and denitification in general (basics), and assess briefly current research in regards to flooding and greenhouse gases(with links).
Nice stuff. If you want to hear more "straight talk on rising seas in a warming world" from Josh, visit Dot Earth, as well: http://j.mp/dotJosh
That curve lends new meaning to "radiative forcing." Looks like Atlas bent a blade that was flat on a table.
I would say a trend of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and maybe 4.0 mm per year increase now during this decade for sea level is not a healthy trend. More like a ship's hull flooding.
Perhaps we should cool it with the fossil mining subsidies. Hey USA and China, any takers yet? Care to save a couple trillion bucks (along with your nation-states)?

I rate Ali # 2 ATG and although I have never really done an ATG hypothetical H2H list, he would probably be top 3 and definately top 5...I favor only Frazier, Marciano & Louis over Ali (Due to styles...Louis is the only guy I call greater)...I see this fight as 50/50 and only voted Holmes because I figured very few others would. I think this is about as close a fight as their is to call (well along with Frazier/Marciano and Liston/Foreman).

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 1999
Running Time: 80
Director: Guillermo Brown
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Malitia, T.J. Hart, Ruby (I), James Bonn, J.J. Michaels, A.J., Tia Bella
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
With tame, relatively short sex scenes (no anal), decent production values, and pretty people, this tape should appeal to couples looking for something straightforward, all-American, and adequately sexy. Silicone fans will rejoice -- all boobs are fake!
Hoboken Rose, played by Tia Bella, is the slut of her New Jersey high school, and in the first flashback scene, she takes on the football team, though she's only seen explicitly doing the line-backer. Instead of paying her for services rendered (a hundred bucks a pop), they run.
The rest of the cheerleading team disses her later in the locker room for being a slut, before one of them decides it's better to get a piece of the action than to knock it.
The film then leaps to the present, where Hoboken Rose is introduced to one of the ex-football players, J.J. Michaels, as his boss's new wife. Michaels freaks out and runs to his dominitrix/secretary, T.J. Hart, who takes his curved rod in the office. Cut to some all-girl poolside action, featuring muff-hungry Ruby, which dramatically recreates the halcyon days of the cheerleading locker room.

Somehow this doesn't work out of the box – is there an adapter I can buy that will allow me to connect the Displayport output of my Macbook to the Thunderbolt input of my 27" Thunderbolt monitor?
As @bmike, @djacobson, and @jaberg have stated in comments, that will not work. There is currently (as of March 2012) no adapter, nor do I expect there to be one to adapt mini-DisplayPort to Thunderbolt. (The standards were defined to be backward-compatible, not forward-compatible.)
No this will not work. Check the system requirements for the Apple Thunderbolt display.
As of yet there is no way to add a Thunderbolt port to a Mac that did not ship with Thunderbolt.

Thanks for your responses, John.I agree that a player has to protect himself first and foremost, but we shouldn't confuse a genuine attempt to avoid nasty tackle with diving. After all the referees are there for a reason. Most players don't set out to inflict injuries on the opposing players, therefore I don't buy into the self protection argument at all.

Blues' hopes of completing the double were boosted when captain Steven Caldwell scored with a glancing header from a Rob Hall corner in the 17th minute.
But Brighton's eager play enabled them to dominate the midfield and they broke away for Ashley Barnes to notch his sixth goal of the season following a left-wing cross from Andrea Orlandi.
The best goal of the game was a sweet cross-shot on the volley from David Lopez which whistled past Jack Butland to put Brighton 2-1 ahead in the 43rd minute.
But with time running out Nikola Zigic produced a face-saving goal, to the embarrassment of Seagulls goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak.
Poyet said: "The best thing that occurred early on was to concede a goal. We were sloppy and not playing at the tempo I like.
"After that goal we were a good team to watch and we created problems until the 92nd minute when Birmingham equalised. The last four minutes contained the mistake by my goalkeeper and a brilliant save from Butland.
"We scored two very good goals and the bonus for us was Ashley Barnes. He works well everywhere. We dropped two points against Birmingham and we only have ourselves to blame.
"It was really sad to see Tomasz Kuszczak make one mistake. It was terrible. Let us hope it is a one-off. He is devastated. I know Tomasz from last year and he has not made one mistake.
"But I am now going to learn from his reaction from the next game. So Tuesday [when Brighton play Blackburn] will be a good learning situation for myself."

I manage a Mac OS X (Leopard), laptop that has Norton Antivirus 11 installed. Whenever LiveUpdate executes, it proceeds to pull down a sig database of approx. 30 MB. Does anyone know why the updates aren't smaller ? I would've expected that Symantec downloads deltas of the databases. It is a concern as the user is a mobile user and does not always have high speed access.
It sounds like your LiveUpdate is broken. It is supposed to only give you "MicroDefinitions," also called "microdefs," which are updates to your existing definitions database (deltas).
There is a Symantec whitepaper (broken link) explaining this process (it references Windows, but LiveUpdate for Mac operates the same way).
Try installing the lastest updates manually from the NAV Definition Site, then run LiveUpdate again to see if it works this time.

Fantastic Photo! Can't believe how calm the river is.
Yes! It is a rarity for the river to be this calm. I took this photo back in Feb 06' and I have made a dozen trips past here over the year and have yet been able to duplicate this image. Maybe I should sell the photo to Roadway transport because of the triple trailer nicely placed in the middle. Thanks for the comment Michael...
I used to drive a delivery route from Keizer to Hood River & The Dalles twice a week for 6 or 7 months and I never saw the water that calm. Beautiful photo.
Tell me about it! I was very fortunate to find the Columbia Soo calm. It was calm all the way up past The Dalles. Check out HORSE THIEF LAKE OVERLOOK PANO and THIS TUG AT THE DISCOVERY CENTER OFF I84 and lastly MY SUPER PANO OF THE ABOVE SHOT
These were taken Last Feburary 07 there was no wind and Very little boat trafic.
I was lucky :)
Thanks for the compliments!
Quite amazing. I have never seen this view look so exquisite! Great job!
Hello Heather,
The spot is real easy to get to on the old hwy just past Mosier.
It was a real treat to fing the Columbia soo calm that day.
Thanks for the compliments..
R. Vollrath,
Thank you for the kind compliments! You know there are beautiful places all over the world. Like das Wimbachtal, and Obersee Lake. in Germany. These are just a small sample of places I would like to see.

Thank you as well for the kind compliment!
I believe that this was one of my first digital images from my Canon XT..
remarkable mirror image indeed! I love it when this happens around here... looks like a good view spot!
Thanks for the comment.. I have returned here many times hoping to find it as calm as it was in this shot..
Hey Guys. I have not been on PanOramio for quite a while. I stopped posting image here because of the use of my images via Google through their API without compensation. This past year I had thought about coming back but as it stands now with PanOramio closing down its service I'm going to be removing my images..

Soaked for charity: Ice bucket challenges get cool
Beryl Lipton, left, douses Matt Lee during the ice bucket challenge at Boston's Copley Square, Thursday, Aug. 7, 2014 to raise funds and awareness for ALS. [auth] The idea is: pay up for charity or get doused. The fund-raising phenomenon is catching on fast, propelled by popular videos of the dunkers and the dunked _ including famous athletes and entertainers _ posted on social media sites.

BOSTON (AP) — The idea is simple: Take a bucket of ice water, dump it over your head, record it and post the video on social media.
It's cold, it's fun and it's contagious. But these ice bucket challenges and similar social media-powered stunts also are raising awareness and money for causes such as Lou Gehrig's disease, breast cancer and a camp for kids who have lost their fathers to war.
Martha Stewart has been doused. So has Matt Lauer. And pro golfer Greg Norman.
The fundraising phenomenon asks those willing to douse themselves to challenge others to do the same within 24 hours. If they don't, they must make a donation to a certain charity. Each person who participates nominates more friends, who nominate more friends, who nominate still more friends, which explains why the trend has exploded.
The months-old movement has taken the Boston area by storm over the last 10 days, since friends and relatives of former Boston College baseball player Pete Frates used it to raise awareness about Lou Gehrig's disease. Frates was diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease, also known as ALS, in 2012. Frates, 29, is now paralyzed, eats through a feeding tube and cannot talk.
On Thursday, his parents, Nancy and John Frates, joined 200 people who doused themselves in Copley Square. The couple said the ice bucket challenge has done more to increase understanding about ALS than anything they've done over the past two years.
"Who knew all it would take was a bag of ice and a bucket?" John Frates told the crowd, just before participants simultaneously poured 9-quart buckets of ice water over their heads.
While most were wearing T-shirts or other casual summer attire, City Councilor Tito Jackson stood out in a suit and tie, which promptly got soaked.
"This is a little bit of discomfort for a second, but it's a lifetime of challenges for people with ALS," Jackson said.
Similar challenges have attracted athletes, politicians, doctors, accountants and construction workers. They can take all sorts of forms: There are no-makeup selfies to raise money for cancer causes and cold-water plunges for kids' camps.
Lauer got soaked with ice water last month after Norman challenged him and ended up kicking in some cash for the Hospice of Palm Beach County, in Florida.
Operation 300 is a foundation in Stewart, Florida, that hosts a camp for kids who lost their fathers to war. Founded by the family of Navy SEAL Aaron Vaughn, who was killed in a helicopter crash three years ago, the foundation gets support from local firefighters, one of whom decided to put his money where his mouth was: Pay $50 and avoid the icy dousing or get wet and pay $20.
"He just happened to call out five other local firemen," said Tara Baldwin, Vaughn's sister. "When one of them called the others out, they all sort of naturally said they wanted to get involved."
Since the spring, the foundation has raised about $15,000 from the ice water challenge.
There can be dangers. Authorities in Camden Township, Minnesota, said 16-year-old Davis Colley drowned in May when he jumped in a lake as part of a challenge, and in some states, police warned parents and kids to avoid jumping into frigid or fast-moving waters.
For those who work to raise awareness of ALS, the ice bucket challenge has been a windfall.
The ALS Association's national president, Barbara Newhouse, said donations to the national office surged during the 10-day period that ended Thursday, to about $160,000, from $14,480 during the same period a year ago. That's not counting donations to chapter offices around the country, Newhouse said.
"It's just been wonderful visibility for the ALS community," Newhouse said. "It is absolutely awesome. It's crazy, but it's awesome, and it's working."

Rovio snags former Playfish executive
One-time Playfish vice president of global studios Jami Laes has taken up a new role at Angry Birds developer Rovio. GamesIndustry reports Laes has been appointed executive vice president of games, heading up the games division, and replacing former incumbent Petri Järvilehto, who is moving on. Both sides gave some typical press release quotes about how much they adore each other and how swimmingly they're going to get on. Meanwhile, Playfish looks to have been broken up and absorbed by EA.

I think this stuff is great! I've tried several whey and egg white proteins and have struggled with the taste of many of them. I love this...it's like a treat instead of a health food. It's got great stats on top of great taste and, even being dairy sensitive, I still tolerate it well. I would be lost without this!

Congress, workers unions fight back on companies' strict social media policies
We have seen a lot of evidence of late that working professionals these days have to be careful with what they say and do on social media.
Companies sue employees over LinkedIn, Twitter accounts
Suits raise the issue of ownership of social media profiles for company purposes
E-discovery: "Liking" social media
Social media's prevalence in society continues to rise, as Americans currently spend at least one-fifth of their time online using Facebook, Twitter or one of the many other available platforms,
Social media use among in-house lawyers on the upswing
A new survey reveals that in-house lawyers of all ages are browsing blogs, looking at LinkedIn and toying with other social media platforms more frequently these days.
Wikipedia, Reddit and others shut down to protest SOPA and PIPA
Today, websites across the Internet are tapping into their Twisted Sister personas, telling Congress that, when it comes to proposed online piracy legislation, they're not gonna take it.
Two cases of social media as trade secrets may affect one another
There's a case currently making the rounds that has drawn a lot of attention to the question of who social media accounts really belong to—employers or employees.
Law firms not yet taking full advantage of social media
Be sure to tweet, like, digg, send and share this news with everyone in your Google+ circles.
E-discovery: Riding herd on social media ESI
Social media's fast growth has created yet another e-discovery headache for inside counsel. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 (b)(1) allows discovery of relevant, non-privileged ESI. Under Rule 26(b)(1), data from outside social media sites like Facebook and Twitter is generally discoverable.

but the relationship is independent (ie. Persons can exist without belonging to a Group), should the foreign key in the persons table (ie group_id) be set to 0 (or NULL) when deleting a group? If you do not, the person will try to belong to a group that does't exist.
The reason I ask is that this is default behavior in Cakephp. If you set dependent to true, it will delete the associated models, but if it's set to false it will leave the associated model untouched.

Park51 Can't Be Evicted Yet
A judge has granted an injunction, but also raised their rent.
A Manhattan judge has granted an injunction that says Consolidated Edison cannot evict the so-called "Ground Zero Mosque" developers from 51 Park Place, for now. Con Ed, which owns the building, tried to raise the tenant's rent to $47,437 a month from $2,750, retroactive to July 31, 2008, leading Park51 to float the idea that the owner "may be bowing to unspecified political pressure." While the judge ruled that the lease cannot yet be broken for the $1.7 million owed, he did say that Park51 must pay $25,875 in rent moving forward as opposed to the $12,000 they've been paying. The Park51 developer claims he can mortgage a building he owns nearby to make up the cost, while Con Ed said plainly today of the ruling, "This is another step in the legal process," and added, "We have been among the many parties that have defended the tenant's right to buy the property and develop it."

Exporting transparency from Illustrator
Exporting transparency from Illustrator
All right, so here I am looking at the product of our real world blending, it's called Finished lightbulb.ai found inside the 22_transparency folder. The thing you have to bear in mind here is even though this graphic looks pretty darn spiffy actually when you come right down to it, it's based on a very limited collection of simple paths. If you press Ctrl+Y, or Command+Y on the Mac, you will see that this is all we got. These are all the paths that we are working with. The most complicated of which is this light bulb outline which isn't terribly complicated by the way. Everything else is pretty darn straightforward and yet, we are able to achieve this effect here in the Preview mode if I press Ctrl+Y or Command+Y again.
Thanks largely to these gradients that work in our background as well as our blend modes, opacity settings, and dynamic effects. So, with all these digital wizardry heaped on these path outlines, are they going to print? That's the big question here. Well, you can take care of the process yourself, rather than relying on your commercial printer, this sends your illustration through his or her raster image processor that is the postscript wrap which goes ahead and converts the vectors into printer pixels.
You can convert the vectors into your own pixels inside Photoshop or by another method that we will be seeing inside this exercise and ensure that you get exactly the results you want. So, I am going to start things off by switching over to the Bridge by clicking on the Go to Bridge icon in the Applications bar. Then I will make sure I am looking at the contents of the 22_transparency folder and there is my Finished lightbulb graphic right there. I will right-click on it and choose Open with and choose Adobe Photoshop CS5. Now, we have already seen that process in the previous chapter so I am not going to go through that again.
I will just go ahead and show you what that looks like. It's a file called Photoshop raster. tif, also found inside this folder. If I open this graphic inside Photoshop, you can see that things didn't necessarily go exactly the way we might've expected. For one thing the inner area here, this circle shape that I went ahead and applied Pucker and Bloat to and Feather as well, ends up having a pretty harsh outline. So we can see the feathered edges quite clearly; it's not nice and mysterious and soft the way it previewed inside Illustrator.
We also have these weird sort of blobby edges associated with this star outline right there and then finally, what in the world is that thing; there's something wrong with this graphic. I'm going to go ahead and zoom in on it and it's just basically a little section of a row of pixels when arrived right there. You could fix that if you want to, you could select very carefully, you could select the row of pixels on top and there is a tool inside of Photoshop that allows you to select a single row of pixels, but you can just do it with a Regular Marquee tools as well.
Then I press Ctrl+H or Command+H on the Mac in order to hide that selection outline. I would duplicate that little good selection which is just right above the line by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Down Arrow or Command+Option+Down Arrow on the Mac and I would fill in that problem, or you could just avoid the problem in the first place. So here's the thing, I will just go ahead and revert this image so that we can see the problem again. If you end up seeing sort of weird transitions and little problems inside of your graphic, there's another way to convert an illustration into an image and that is to export it from Illustrator.
Let me show you what that looks like. I am going to switch back to Illustrator here and then working inside Finished lightbulb.ai, I will go up to the File menu and I'll choose the Export command and I will make sure I am looking at the 22_transparency folder because that's where I want to put this file. I would set the Save As type option to TIFF. Notice that you have a variety of different formats that you can output to and TIFF is one of the pixel formats. Another one is JPEG, of course, but TIFF is going to deliver a lossless file. So go ahead and choose that and then name the file anything you want to.
You don't have to turn on Use Artboards because we just have one artboard that work inside this Illustration, click on the Save button, and then you will get this TIFF Options dialog box. Make sure your Color model is set to CMYK if you're going to prepress. If you are going to print this job locally to an inkjet printer or something like that, you might consider converting it to RGB, but you will get slightly different colors if you go to RGB. The highlights around the light bulb will get a little yellow on you, so they won't look quite as neutrally white as they do now. Then make sure Anti-aliasing is set to Art Optimized(Supersampling).
Don't set it to None because you will get jagged edges and Type Optimized is better if you have a lot of little type inside of your document. That's not really an issue for us. So Art Optimized is a way to go. Make sure you turn on LZW compression so that you apply that lossless compression I was telling you about in a previous chapter. Byte Order really doesn't matter; IBM PC, Macintosh, who cares and then finally, Embed ICC profile, you definitely want that. Then click OK. Now I have already done this in advance so I am going to click Cancel once again. Switch back over to the Bridge.
Then you will find inside the 22_transparency folder, a file called Illustrator export.tif. Double-click on that one to open it up inside Photoshop and you'll see this file right here and notice that we have nice, smooth transitions around that circle. We have smoother transitions around the star shape as well and we don't have any pixels dropping out inside this illustration. So for the sake of comparison, here is the Photoshop version of the file once again with these very obvious edges around this central circular shape and this big problem right there that row that's dropping out.
Here's the Illustrator version in much better shape. So if you do find a problem when you're rasterizing an illustration with Photoshop then try rasterizing it directly from Illustrator instead. Then send this file, don't be thinking that I'm saying, send the original Illustrator file. You can do that if you want to, but just because you are able rasterize it, doesn't mean you are not going to have printing problems. If you want to ensure that you're not going to have printing problems, then give this file right here rasterize at a high resolution to your commercial printer, your art director, your client or whomever.
Having shown you that, we are now going to immerse ourselves in the world of transparency inside Illustrator.
