Residential home values around Otago continue to climb in
most areas, but still lag behind Auckland and Christchurch's
respective gains of 9.2% and 5.9% during the past year.
Nationally, home values are now 1.1% above the previous
market peak in the final quarter of 2007, but none of the
areas within Otago have surpassed that 2007 peak, Quotable
Value (QV) research director Jonno Ingerson said yesterday.
"Although the nationwide increase in values is largely being
driven by Auckland and Canterbury, there are some signs that
other main centres and provincial cities are increasing in
value also," he said.
Compared to 12 months ago, the Waitaki, Central Otago,
Queenstown Lakes, Dunedin and the Taieri booked value gains
of 3.6%-5.8%, with only Clutha down, at -1.4%.
Queenstown Lakes was up 3.6% on a year ago, valued at
$622,580, but down 12.9% on the 2007 peak, and trailing about
seven Auckland sub-areas, which Auckland city east topped at
Mr Ingerson said while a lack of listings was constraining
the market, especially in most main centres, low interest
rates were keeping property investors and first-home buyers
active in the market, he said.
The QV data is based on mean, average values of all
properties, not median sale prices.

Company cofounders Bruce Heavin and Lynda Weinman, with CEO Eric Robison and other top executives, present the early roots, current landscape, and future vision of lynda.com. This short-form documentary covers how Lynda and Bruce's careers, relationship, and company started and evolved, and how their vision and high standards have shaped the lynda.com mission to help others.
Skill Level Appropriate for all
(music playing) Lynda Weinman: Well, I think education in general is still based on a very old 19th to 20th century model that you have a teacher in front of a classroom, and you know, all the students listen to the same lecture and go home do their homework, take a test. That's how we measure their success. And the Internet has really just changed how education can be distributed, and we're living proof of that.
We've watched, you know, technology change and transform so many industries. The way we shop, the way we date, the way we bank, it really hasn't transformed education yet, but it's going to. And I think we are an example of how that is possible. And I'm really proud of the fact that we really offer sort of this flexible learning environment where you can come in, just answer a single question, or you can learn something from scratch and go deep.
Eric Robison: Education is really changing. There is much more need for lifelong learning, that you have to continue to update your skills, and that you have to be practical with the skills that you learn. It's a very competitive workplace out there, but also it's very complicated. The skills--the diversity of the skills you need today to be successful in a job, it just continues to get more and more complicated. Bruce Heavin: No matter how many courses we do, we just don't seem to be able to do enough. And I really see a future, a vision, where we're going to be doing a lot more than we're doing today.
Today, this year, we're doing more than one course per day, and it's going to end in about 370 courses or more. And I really see a future where we really cover the depths. So, people that really want to get involved in the subject, really have a good deal, a ways to go. We also look to grow our platform and look at what we could do with technology to grow the ability of instruction. What is the best learning environment? What is the best way to find what you're looking for, to search, to find, to browse, to stumble, you know? How can we--how can we satisfy curiosity? Michael Ninness: As I think about the future and the opportunity that we have to provide even more value to our members and future members--and we're living in pretty special times, the convergence of media, the access of the Internet, the mobile device explosion--and I think we have this unique opportunity to really create a platform that meets people where they are at, to have continuous learning in their pocket.
And even more than in terms of the content areas, we have a unique ability to create content and teach people the skills that the schools are just completely missing. You think about life skills and business skills and design and thinking, those are really untabbed markets, and I think you're going to see lynda.com truly focusing on those areas to broaden our reach beyond just software tools. Lynda: And so we know that this is a powerful idea and that we're still in the infancy of this idea. There are a lot of things that we want to do to improve our service. We have ideas that will take us years to accomplish, but we're many ideas farther along than what people yet see, and not only in terms of growing our own delivery platform and our own content, but also the scale and the scope and the reach.
So we are interested in taking lynda.com international, in localizing to many different languages. We think what the Internet does is it democratizes education. That technology is transforming our lives and that we can use technology for positive purposes and really advance our culture, advance ourself, advance our world, change our world for the better. And so we see that as our mission, and we're not anywhere close to being done.
Erik Tarkiainen: As the company grows, our brand will continue to evolve with it. You know, as we enter international markets, as we explore different courses and different subjects, our brand will have to change to accommodate that, you know? At the same time, though, the core of it, our principles, our values will have to stay the same and be consistent and be authentic. Monetta Williams: Great companies attract great people, and moving into the global market, we're going to continue to attract even more talent internationally and domestically.
Michael Schaeman: As for the future, we see companies really focusing on their greatest asset, and that is their people. They want to have their people access learning content at their fingertips anytime, anywhere. And whether it's a product like lyndaCampus, whether it's a product like lyndaEnterprise, whether it's accessibility on any mobile device anywhere, they see this as being the future for E-learning. Lynda: I don't think anybody can really imagine how much potential we really have because it's on a scale that's unprecedented, you know? To be able to create something and distribute it to anyone in the world has never been possible before.
And so, I know even though we've been at this for 17 years that we're still in the infancy of what we're doing. Bruce: I think to see it and to hear it and to do it is the best way to learn it and retain it. And now I think with the advent of all of these devices and screens that we're going to be able to see a whole new future in a whole new direction, where education can go into whole new places. We've never seen that before. And that to me, is exciting, and lynda.com is going to be there.

I havent attempted to install any plugins since before upgrading to 2.8.6. Recently I attempted to add a new plugin and was not able to do so. The page just keeps loading with nothing happening. I have tried both methods of installation with the same results. Is there anything that I am missing or something in particular I should check for?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
PS - It also appears that I have a few plugins that have available updates, however, I am getting the same result (page timing out and eventually failing) when I try to update these.

text: Well, this got me here. That's a thing. When I decided to start playing CAP I noticed that a good amount of Mons benefited from the rain, so I threw Politoed in with Tomohawk, Mollux, and Cyclohm. I was a part of the Necturna play test, and knew how to use her, and since that fire weakness was pretty much gone in rain I decided to use her too. After a few battles I decided that Having 5 special attackers wasn't that big of a deal, and added Stratagem to the team. Let's get into it, shall we? Poliwrath? (Politoed) @ Choice Specs Trait: Drizzle EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 HP / 4 SDef Modest Nature - Hydro Pump - Focus Blast - Ice Beam - Hidden Power [Grass] When I was first making my team, I knew I needed a Politoed. I had little to know knowledge of the CAP metagame, besides every Poke there being really good, so I decided on a specs variant of Politoed. Politoed will be outspeeding little to nothing in CAP, so I put 252 into HP instead of speed. I don't know of a CAP damage calc, but he's survived some pretty tough stuff with this spread, and still hits like a ton of bricks. Hydro Pump OHKOs a good chunk of CAP, and does a respectable amount to everything that's not Krillowatt or Arghonaut. Landorus? (Tomohawk) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Intimidate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Timid Nature - Hurricane - Aura Sphere - Rapid Spin - Earth Power This is a great surprise set. Intimidate is great for Necturnas that are trying to set up, Colossoils in general, and great for Kitsunohs spamming Shadowstrike. Earth Power is for Kitsunoh and Krillowatt, while Aura Sphere is for Stratagem, and Rapid Spin is just kinda there. I mainly just blindly fire off Hurricanes until the other person has the sense to stop foddering stuff that doesn't resist Hurricane.I'm also fairly sure that this outspeeds standard Tail glow Syclants, which is great when I've broken their sash. Looked it up after I wrote this. 442 speed. Outspeeds everything in CAP that's not scarfed. Zekrom? (Cyclohm) @ Leftovers Trait: Shield Dust EVs: 252 Spd / 72 HP / 24 SDef / 160 SAtk Calm Nature - Thunder - Dragon Pulse - Heal Bell - Slack Off If you don't use bulky utility Cyclohm you're gonna have a bad time. But in all seriousness, it's great to know that I have heal bell whenever Politoed is Toxic'd, Tomohawk is para'd, and Necturna is burnt (I've actualy had that happen). While most of the time I just see enemy Cyclohms firing off Draco Meteors all willy nilly, I prefer the more defensive set. I'm considering changing to Timid just so I can outspeed said spammy Cyclohms and do a good chunk to them. (Threat list will follow the team) Toxicroak? (Mollux) @ Black Sludge Trait: Dry Skin EVs: 252 Spd / 252 SAtk / 4 HP Modest Nature - Acid Spray - Heat Wave - Thunder - Recover Standard Mollux, more or less. Acid Spray is pretty much the only Posion move worth using; people really underestimate how severe -2 is, not sure why. Recover is there whenever you know the enemy isn't carrying EQ or Earth Power. Shield dust on Cyclohm gets infuriating, and Mollux gets absoutely dunked on by Syclant, Stratagem, and Krillowatt. Not much can be done about that, though. Uhh...? (Necturna) @ Choice Band Trait: Forewarn EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 HP Adamant Nature - Horn Leech - Shadow Sneak - Stone Edge - Bolt Strike This Necturna is the late-game sweeper type. Once everything has some damage on it, bring her out and prepare to steam roll the other player. I prefer CB + 4 attacks over Shell Smash/Quiver Dance just due to the fact that unless you're facing a really terrible player, you're not going to get a chance to set up. I feel like I haven't used Bolt Strike in forever, and am considering replacing it for something like Bullet Punch. Shadow sneak is nice, but doesn't hit a major threat as hard as I need it to sometimes. Regirock? (Stratagem) @ Life Orb Trait: Levitate EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Modest Nature - Earth Power - Energy Ball - Paleo Wave - Stealth Rock I originally had a bulk up Voodoom in this spot, but Syclant was so much of a problem I just got the fastest CAP Poke that exists and stuck it on my team, and what do you know?! It counters Syclant quite nicely. I'm running levitate over Technician since my team would be pretty weak to Ground without it. Threat list up in hurr: Major Threats (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Major Threats (open) Major Threats (close) Focus Sash Syclant Depending on whose out, at least. If it's something like Tomohawk who will outspeed them the next turn, it's no big deal. I just recently learned that Mountaineer functions differently than how I originally thought, so this threat is probably going to be a non-issue soon. +3 is still terrifying if something like Politoed is out at the time and Stratagem and Tomohawk are down. It's even worse when Hydro Pump misses and doesn't bring it down to it's sash. Draco spamming Cyclohm (Specs?) Sure, I can revenge kill it easily, but any player that has half a brain will switch out after either OHKOing, or damn near OHKOing me. Prankster subTomo and Kitsunoh have no problem with that, but neither of them are on this team. Politoed and Necturna can live a Draco, but Toed can't live a Thunder. It will take 2 Earth Powers from either of my users to KO them, which is incredibly annoying, especially since they tend to come in while I'm locked into Hurricane. In general, sacrificing whatever is currently out is the best solution. Minor Threats: (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Minor Threats: (open) Minor Threats: (close) Kitsunoh I put Earth Power on everything to help deal with it. Intimidate + Outspeeding it on Tomohawk makes it a minor threat. Krillowatt Haven't come across very many of them, but an Energy Ball or Earth Power from Stratagem quickly shuts it down. Necturna will survive an Ice Beam and either OHKO or come really close with a Horn Leech. Gotta love that base 151 HP. Shell Smash Necturna (White Herb) Mainly cause Shadow Sneak can't OHKO if they have an Herb. Intimidate quickly takes away from it's OHKOing power after severely damaging it with Shadow Sneak from Necturna. Quiver Dance is a non-threat since Necturna will be able to live a +1 Shadow Ball and proceed to 2HKO easily. Latios CB Shadow Sneak really cripples it. Just about anything will be able to take it out afterwards. (Necturna is a Kamakazi bomber) Fidgit Sure, I have nothing to OHKO it (minus Politoed), but this can't do anything to my team, save Mollux. Arghonaut Annoying to Politoed, can't do jack to anyone but Tomohawk who outspeeds and either OHKO's or comes close. Intimidate is an amazing thing. Blissey Obnoxious to most of my team, Necturna terrifys this thing. Ferrothorn Spam Heat Wave. Dry Skin also negates Leech Seed damage, which is nice. Non threat-threats (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Non threat-threats (open) Non threat-threats (close) Colossoil Why do people lead with this when they know I'll lead with a Politoed? Pyroak Annoying to Politoed, but Mollux and Tomohawk shut it down. That's all I could really think of. I've got something to deal with a good chunk of OU, and most of CAP but in general you see teams with 4-6 CAPs, which is why I only mentioned the major CAP threats. Specs Politoed OHKOs to 2HKOs most of OU anyway. How'd you like my first RMT?

When I MouseOver a link on my site a little caption box shows up. On the main page, links such as About and Contact show a small caption that says "edit me". Is there a way to remove these captions all together? At first I thought it was simply an issue with NextGen Gallery (the plugin I use to show the photos), then I realized that these captions are also present on my main page links which have nothing to do with the gallery plugin. If it helps, the template I use is called "SimpleT".
Here is a link to my site to better show the problem I am trying to resolve: Damien Thompson Photography. MouseOver any link and the box will show up, even if there is no text in the caption.
I greatly appreciate any input on this problem, thank you.

Almost impossible to understand the poorly written directions in broken English. Very small unit for key chain. Charged it. Now to try to figure out how to make it work. My computer doesn't recognize the unit when plugged to the USB cable. Directions say to create a file to put the video/pictures in but is very hard to understand. Can't these Chinese hire someone who can write proper English? I think they think they're doing it correctly, but they aren't. This has been going on forever. Maybe I have to learn Chinese.

Once in awhile, I see numbers in the dots on the map. What do they mean? It's not the level of the airport...
It's how many planes are currently landed at that airport. When there's no number on the dot there aren't any planes there. Tap an airport with a number in it to go to one of the planes on the tarmac.
The dots let you know the class of the airport.
Class 1 - Gray

Have there been any effort, polls, referendum in Europe (especially Eastern ex-communist countries) to restore deposed monarchies, like in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, etc.? Most Monarchies were deposed of because of communist regimes, Nazi occupation or military dictatorships rather than the will of the people (correct me if I am wrong).
Well, in 1946 the Italians voted to abolish the kingdom and create the republic, basically because the monarchy was tainted by association with Mussolini. Italy's monarchy was a stronger one (in my estimation) than the East European ones but still it couldn't weather the storm.
I have the impression that in Eastern Europe the real prestige of the monarchies was not very high, the people did not resent them so badly as to oppose them as long as they were in power but on the other hand few cared deeply enough for them to work for their restoration. This might have had a lot to do with the monarchies being mostly young and created by foreign powers. You seem to assume otherwise in the question - do you have sources for this assumption?
Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was Tsar of Bulgaria from 1943 to 1946. 2001, Simeon resumed the role of leader of the nation upon taking office as Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria from July 2001 until August 2005.
But there were no plans of a restoration of the Bulgarian monarchy.
Are you restricting your question to a certain time period? If not, then there are a number of examples, besides those already given in the other answers, which could qualify:
There was a referendum to restore the Albanian monarchy in 1997, following a period of severe unrest. The official results of the referendum had the motion failing by a 2-1 margin; the monarchists then claimed that the result was invalid, riots broke out, and the crown prince Leka fled the country and was tried in absentia for inciting rebellion.
The country subsequently adopted a new republican constitution in 1998. Leka was later pardoned and returned to the country, but monarchist ardor seemed to have cooled somewhat:
Leka died in 2011, and it does not appear that Leka II (his son and the current pretender) is currently pressing the monarchist cause:
There are a bunch of monarchists in modern Russia. Some are "theoretical" monarchists, some want to bring back Romanovs, some want Putin to be the Tzar.
The article contains some further info and analysis as well.
Bavaria stopped being a monarchy not even 100 years ago (1918). After that there were attempts to reinstate the monarchy (Monarchism in Bavaria after 1918). Sadly most of these attempts were destroyed by the Nazis (which gives me my very own reason to hate them). If any of these attempts had succeed, maybe WWII could have been delayed and the severity reduced. But it's likely that Adi would have just turned Bavaria into a wasteland.
I'm usually not a monarchist, I think that monarchy is only good if the king is great (which is often not the case). Most of the rulers of Bavaria throughout history were capable leaders who loved their country, not their power. Even today, the official heir of Bavaria would be a great king, which in my opinion is shown even more so because he doesn't want to be king.

Definition of cogito in English:
noun(usually the cogito) Philosophy
The principle establishing the existence of a being from the fact of its thinking or awareness.
Example sentences
- This missing element is the self, or subject: the focal point of Descartes reasoning, whose existence was established by the cogito.
- It is because of this that Descartes erroneously took the cogito to be the foundation of certainty in human knowledge, and our knowledge of body to be less clear and less immediate.
- Even the most forcefully experienced insights - save the cogito - become open to doubt once the immediacy of the intuition passes.
Mid 19th century: Latin, literally 'I think', in Descartes's formula (1641) cogito, ergo sum 'I think therefore I am'.

Well, first, this is not an issue with the wordpress-software. Its an issue with the mailserver from wordpress.org.
I haven't found another way to contact a suitable person, so i post it here :-)
In case I#m wrong here with this topic, so please tell me, who I can contact for.
Dear wordpress.org, your mailserver ist not configured correctly. I dont receive any mails from w.org. So i tailed my maillog and grepped for "wordpress" and found the following messages....
postfix/smtpd[14680]: warning: 188.8.131.52: address not listed for hostname wordpress.org
postfix/smtpd[14680]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from unknown[18.104.22.168]: 450 4.7.1 Client host rejected: cannot find your hostname, [184.108.40.206]; from=<email@example.com> to=<email@example.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<web13.luv.wordpress.org>
This is effecting mails from plugin-repository, this forum and I don't know what else. And yes, this is a misconfiguration in your mailservers, not in mine. I also made a hostlookup by myself and found the following.
host wordpress.org
wordpress.org has address 126.96.36.199
wordpress.org has address 22.214.171.124
wordpress.org mail is handled by 10 mail.wordpress.org.

1. I work in manhattan so have to take the train from Brewster. Being in Rivington I could take the shuttle that operates to and from Brewster train station from the parking lot across from Exxon gas station near exit 2. Being too far in Danbury(exit 4-5 and beyond) will mean added commute for me which is already long.
2. I am hoping that Rivington being in bankruptcy I could get a good price( less than prices in other communities in Danbury some of which you have mentioned which are more established and stable)
As an example timber oaks which is off exit 5 and has all amenities ready and in use for a year or more has 3 bed 2.5 baths starting from 3.85( approx 2300 sqft) but for Rivington a comparable unit is priced at 4.99 (2076 sqft + unfinished basement of approx 700 sqft) which seems crazy to me. Even if they offer the unit at 400 I would think its priced more than what they should be because they are in bankruptcy and a buyer at Rivington will have to buy with the community as-is and no guarantee of any future development.
Moreover the common charges at rivington seem to be more than timber oaks and other communities for just 2 community features they provide (pool and a gazebo) whereas most others have pool, tennis courts, gym etc.
I would expect the 4.99 price for a 3 bed 2.5 bath 2000 sqft unit in rivington should be priced at 3.5 under the circumstances they are in and with the disadvantages it presents to any buyer.
If they cannot sell the units at Rivington would they not go into auction soon and thus be offered for a lot less that even 3.5 potentially?
Any thoughts?
Take a look at the thread below.
Good luck,
1. I can't blame you, I grew up in New York, most of my friends and family are still there, but I can live a better lifestyle here in CT, where my dollar buys me more house, in a nicer community, with a much lower tax liablility. Most of my business is helping New York people move to western, CT, where they can easily commute to New York. The exit 2 park and Ride is 1/2 mile from my home, and I take the train into NYC from Brewtser or Southeast station. I own a single family home, and a condo in west Danbury, and will probably live here untill I move back to the west for retirement!
2. The purchase I have been working on at Rivington was listed at $429,900 when I made my offer for my clients, and we got it accepted at $300,000, but it is NO simple matter! This link is the listing for the Rivington unit that I have been representing a buyer for: http://cmls.rexplorer.net/REX$PUB/49/LYON1/pub/pub_0272249442.htm
Timber Oaks: I looked at this for the same, and other clients this fall...have you been there? They are essentially taking deposits for homes yet to be built, some of which could be finished by next August, or are slated for early 2010 delivery!!!
Common charges at Rivington differ per unit model, as most complexes. Don's number $287 is accurate, for the Allerton model.
I concur with Don that the future of Rivington is VERY uncertain, hard to say if/when any of the few remaining units will go to auction. Their Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection anables them protection form their cridtors to continue to do business, (to the degree that their cash flow allows them). The amazing thing in this market is how inefficient banks, corporations, relo companies, etc are at liquidating their assetss...which are really liabilities. Navigating the waters of succesfully closing a transaction with them, that is an attractive propostion to the buyer is no simple matter...But it is the smart, patient, buyer, who is savvy enough to work with the right buyer agent who undeerstands these muddy waters...that makes the good deal in this insane market.
If I can help you, give me a call at 203--994-2359.

Right now, no one knows what will happen with Rivington. Odds are, however, that during the bankruptcy procedures, the complex will be sold to another builder who will continue building at some point in the future. How long this may take, and if this will actually take place, is unknown.
Common charges at Rivington appear to be $287 per month for each unit.
Prices are being reduced by the builder to sell off the remaining units. You would need to work with your buyer's agent to see if you can negotiate a price that is acceptable to you.
That would be a personal decision that only you can make.
However, here are some issues that you would want to consider:
* The developer of Rivington is currently in bankruptcy. No new units are being built. No new amenities are being built.
* Most likely, another developer will buy this project and continue building it in the future. This could take years, and we have no way of knowing how or if other units will be completed, what amenities will be included, what the overall look of the project will end up being, etc.
* Prices have been reduced dramatically on the remaining new units in this complex.
* We do not know what will happen to the future prices of the complex. For re-sale, it will most definitely be difficult to sell a home in a complex that is incomplete with no idea when or if it will be completed.
Other newer complexes in the immediate area you will want to consider include:
Kensington Woods - built in 2000-2001, 2 bedroom units are selling in the low $300,000's.
Lake Place West - built in 2005, 3 bedroom units are selling in the low- to mid-$400,000's.
Lake Place - built in the mid-1980's, 2 bedroom units are selling in the low $300,000's and 3 bedroom units are selling in the low- to mid-$400,000's.
Westwood Village - built in the 1980's. Many different unit sizes and types, selling from the low- to high-$200,000's.
Briar Woods - built in 2005, 2 bedroom units are selling from the high-$200,000's to the low-$300,000's.
I strongly recommend touring each of these complexes with your real estate agent. You need to determine which complexes you like, then factor in where you will feel comfortable, where you will enjoy living, and where you think you may be making a sound financial decision when it comes to re-sale.
This link is the listing for the Rivington unit that I have been representing a buyer for: http://cmls.rexplorer.net/REX$PUB/49/LYON1/pub/pub_0272249442.htm
This process has been amazingly problematic, but I will be happy to discuss with you all the pros and cons involved, without disclosing any confidential information of my clients. Just give me a ring at your convenience.
In any buying situation, I highly recomend that you get your own representation, but considering a Rivington purchase is one where it's particularly important.
This link is a collective sampling of the other West Danbruy condos currently available. It includes active listings at Kensington Woods, Lake Place, and Westwood Village, where I own a townhouse, and have a listing as well. Briar woods is the remaining west Danbury complex that does not have any active listings available at the time. http://cmls.rexplorer.net/REX$PUB/49/LYON1/pub/pub_027236301.htm Each of these complexes has it's own pros and cons, and their own "flavor". Because I live and work here, I will be happy to provide you with a comprehensive market analysis. Just drop me a line, and I'll be happy to help you understand all the advantages and pitfalls, and give you an unbiased opinion of every property in the market.

Hopeless end-of-the-world scenarios are pretty standard in zombie stories.
Well it's kind of a staple of the genre in general. The term "zombie apocalypse exists for a reason, after all. Look at any given popular zombie movie/game/show/comic/whatever and it's pretty likely the story involves society collapsing and humanity being driven toward extinction.The Romero movies, The Walking Dead comics/show/games, World War Z, etc..
The point is, very few GAMES

Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light gets first video, voice actor
The first gameplay footage of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light has emerged, showing the new top-down style in action.
It certainly looks a lot different from the Lara we're used too, but that's to say it's not all-good.
In other news it's been confirmed on the game's official forums that British actress Keeley Hawes is the one playing the voice of the games main lady.
Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light is due for release this summer on XBLA, PSN and PC.

So who is gonna get this?
yeah, now that the excitement has died down a bit i have to be reasonable
do it need it? not really, i do want a full sensor but i can get the d700, it will probably be cheaper when d800 comes out
can i afford it? yes, but i would want to buy it with my samys credit line when they do the no tax 0 interest deal. i pay my shit on time and can save me some $
3 G's IS alot of $ so i would have to justify spending that much on a camera.
i don't do photo jobs, i do get some from time to time from people that ask me if i want to do them
i just like shooting landscapes for fun but there's no money in that. IF i spend over 2Gs on a camera i will kinda feel forced to
look for gigs that will help me recover my expenses...not sure if i want to do that.

Man, I really want full-frame, but I'm not going to go D800.
If I was considering staying in Hawaii, I would probably sell my Nikon lenses and go Cannon because I'm sick of having to send my shit to the mainland because there are not authorized Nikon repair centers in the state. But instead, I'm going to see where I land for school in the fall, and then start thinking about possibly upgrading my body.
what are you doing to your equipment that you have to send it in for repairs so much?
my Nikon equipment has never broken on me and i abuse it so much.

Ha, well, I shoot in a lot of mosh pits and whatnot with some frequency. Also, for a while, I was doing nightlife/event photography for the social section of a print publication, which meant going to 3-5 bars/clubs/concerts/parties per night, and that meant the camera got A LOT of wear and tear.
But mostly, I have just sent it in for cleaning about once every 9 months. Shooting at the beach means that something inevitably ends up on my mirror occasionally.
Last edited by Courtney; 02-09-2012 at 11:32 AM.
for dust on sensors, this will save you a lot of money. There's a setting on the camera that opens up the shutter for you to quickly blast the dust off.
IG: jclarosphoto
I have heard from my professional photog friends that using those is a really bad idea because it will just push the dust into other places you can't reach. I don't know how much truth there is to that.
Courtney - post up some beach pics! I miss it!
I use sensor cleaner and a swab the best

It's really quite impossible to properly compare recoil in the manner in which you are asking even tho folks offer readily to do so. It's easy to plug numbers into a software program and compute the recoil energy which is a tool to compare but what is impossible is to properly compare the real world "felt recoil" and that is really the ONLY thing that matters.The stock design and what kinda pad or lack of it you have makes more difference really than those computer generated recoil numbers do. From a numbers stand point you'd likely have no more recoil than the .300 mag you said seemed OK and perhaps even a bit less. The CZ is a fairly heavy rifle which also helps but you'll likely want a good recoil pad added and with that if you thought the .30-06 with 220s wasn't bad then neither should the 9,3.62 be. It is after all just the '06 case opened up to take .366" bullets. Normal weights are 250 and 286 grains and velocity will run close to what the '06 does with 220s.

Barber: Obama And Democrats Are "Anti-God"
Liberty Counsel's Matt Barber is aghast that Harry Reid said the phrase "one nation, indivisible," to mark the anniversary of the Civil War. The words "under God" were added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1955 and were not part of the original pledge. Reid did not recite the entire Pledge, just the one phrase. Speaking to Shawn Akers on Faith and Freedom, Barber said that President Obama and Reid are both "secular socialist[s]" who are "anti-God" and seek to eliminate "any reference to God, to religion, to a Creator." As Kyle previously noted, Religious Right figures are consistently and falsely accusing Obama of deliberately removing mentions of God in his speeches, and Newt Gingrich even wrote a book about "Obama's Secular-Socialist Machine."
Shawn, President Obama is a secular-socialist. Harry Reid is a secular-socialist. They have a secular-socialist agenda. Socialism encompasses Marxism. What is part and parcel of Marxism? Anti-religion. The removal of Christianity, particularly any reference to Christianity, but the removal of the state to any reference to God, to religion, to a Creator. It is inherently atheist, that socialism is inherently atheist, or secular. The policies that these men are pushing, and other liberals in Congress and around the country, are secular-socialist policies. We shouldn't be surprised that when the very policies they push are anti-God, are hostile toward our Judeo-Christian founding and seek to recreate, to fundamentally transform America as President Obama has said, to a secular-socialist nation in their own self-image. We shouldn't be surprised that they are brazenly, overtly removing reference to God from our founding documents and from our pledge of allegiance.

LAKE WALES, Fla. (AP) - Polk County officials have issued a
mandatory evacuation order for 200 homes and have whisked 50
children away from a camp near a brush fire that's scorched 200
acres in central Florida.
About 70 firefighters from several agencies are battling the
fire in Lake Wales. Officials issued a reverse 911 call for the
home evacuations. The 50 children were being taken from a Lions
Camp to a nearby Red Cross shelter.
The shelter was set up at a recreation center.
Officials say windy conditions could fuel the fire's spread in
an area that has seen little rainfall this season.

These sheets are very cute and so soft! They are even softer then my daughter's crib sheets were. They've been washed a few times now and still look like new. Don't hesitate to buy!
The bed sheet fabric is amazing. It is soft and has a lining on the inside making it somewhat water proof. Good for accidents! My daughters love their "polka-dot beds". I totally recommend it!
I purchased these in every color available and was extremely impressed with the quality, it's so soft feels like it was specifically designed for kids soft and sensitive skin. Just wish it came in more colors!!!!!!
I was excited these sheets were as soft as they were. This set came with two pillow cases and two fitted sheets for I think $16. Great material and very pleased.

Nice, and depressing.
Just the way a gameover screen is.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Would also be fitting for..
A gameover song. In the gameover screen on Tales of Vesperia, it's a field with a red sunset. It's really sad cause someone says (usually one of the characters) "And they were never heard from again..." x.x

It would also
be good for a sad ending where two stories colide and one of the main characters go walking off into the sunset problebly never to return...

Here in New England: Hank, a Well-Traveled Dog
Again, the girls would later admit that what they did may have been foolish. Rabid animals do live in the woods. Scared animals can be dangerous and unpredictable. But that was later reflection. Sara lowered herself onto the beam and slowly backed the dog down to the ground. Then, from behind, she urged him up again, lifting him the final few feet into the arms of her friends. Sara fashioned a leash from her belt, and even though the dog was so weak he kept falling over, he pulled her up the hill, across the stream, onto the lush grass where he rolled and rolled, as the girls shrieked, "We found a dog!"
The call reached the Woods from campus security. A dog was found only 100 yards from their house, in a ravine the family did not know existed. The tag matched Hank's. He had been gone 48 days, no doubt toppling into the hole in the darkness, in his terror of a thunderstorm, kept alive, the vet later surmised, by eating moss and dirt. He had lost more than 20 pounds.
For days, Hank would not let Marianne out of his sight. He slowly regained his weight and strength. Marianne drove him around the county, thanking all the people who had helped search. She called the dog's previous owner and said, "We've decided that Hank belongs to us." Driving home after they found Hank, the girls all had the same thought: "Something big just happened here." Something they will always remember about a day when they wandered to a gloomy ravine and found a dog who will surely travel farther than they can imagine, all the way from that deep, water-logged hole, bounding up and over the stream, bounding into the sunlight, bounding back home, traveling all the way into legend.

AbstractExisting M&S engineering tools fail to accurately model new weapons lethality enhancing (LE) phenomena so new a fast-running endgame lethality simulation program was developed. During Phase I fragment flood loading (FFL) effects were successfully incorporated into the Tesla Lethality Simulator and analysis with the tool clearly demonstrated that accounting for FFL effects dramatically changes lethality predictions along with several more subtle effects important to weapon design and use. Phase II will build on Phase I accomplishments to create a system's view M&S tool for exploring the overall utility and practicality of HTK lethality enhancing options. The TLS will be extended to rapidly deal with a larger number of projectiles. It will also be enhanced to encompass several added lethality phenomenologies relevant to new advanced LE options. Specifically: Reactive material lethality effects, projectile fragmentation, and the vaporization of material by impacts. Finally, the work will be thoroughly documented to capture all the salient developments.

Even the Founding Fathers Had to Worry About Gay-BaitingNews at Home
tags: Founding Fathers, gay history, Thomas A. Foster
Mr. Foster teaches history at DePaul University. He is the author of Sex and the Eighteenth Century Man: Massachusetts and the History of Sexuality in America and editor of Long Before Stonewall: Histories of Same-Sex Sexuality in Early America.
If the Senate passes the Matthew Shepard Act -- known also as the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act -- a long and ugly history of violence and hate based on sexual orientation may finally approach an end. The legislation was stalled for years in Congress, but with Democrats now in control it passed the House of Representatives and will be voted on by the Senate this summer.
What few people realize is that the culture of terror that has long affected gays and lesbians also threatens heterosexuals. Though the hate-inspired murder of Matthew Shepard in 1998 garnered national attention, too many other offenses go largely unreported in mainstream media. Some would argue that to focus on barbaric killings obscures the run-of-the-mill abuse that gays and lesbians suffer. Such a climate of hate, backed by the ever-present threat of violence, keeps gays and lesbians from holding hands in public, embracing at an airport, or from being comfortable in workplaces where heterosexual family photos are ubiquitous. Such strictures also harm heterosexuals by enforcing narrow norms of how to act in public as men and women.
Hostility toward perceived or real homosexuality has a long history. Much before the official terms and classifications of heterosexual and homosexual developed a century ago in psychology and medicine, an unusual image from a colonial newspaper reveals that even the founding generations had to watch how they carried themselves.
A bit of doggerel in a Massachusetts newspaper implied that the Freemasons, that venerable but secretive fraternity, were engaged in homoerotic intimacy. The satire, with a graphic engraving, appeared on the front page of the Boston Evening Post in 1751. Both image and poem mocked the Freemasons in an early version of gay-baiting. The image depicted two smiling men, one bent over receiving a trunnel, or wooden spike, the other, with a hammer raised overhead, ready to strike. It was designed to shock, as were these lines:
I'm sure our TRUNNELS look'd as clean
As if they ne're up A--se had been;
For when we use 'em, we take care
To wash 'em well, and give 'em Air,
Then lock 'em up in our own Chamber,
Ready to TRUNNEL the next Member.
The poem escaped obscenity by artfully using the term trunnel as a euphemism for the male member. The poem also declared that"we don't use TRUNNELS with a Sister," thus portraying the men as sodomites who were solely interested in intimacy with each other.
Humor carried the message better than a sermon. Demonstrating the ability to joke about the issue portrayed the satirist as savvy and unencumbered by same-sex sex. Humor also removed the reader from the topic, leaving it squarely in the lap of its object of ridicule. The poem outraged many Boston Freemasons. They subsequently boycotted the Evening Post and met with the lieutenant governor and the provincial council, lobbying them to punish the printer.
This incident underscores another lesson to be learned: heterosexuals too get bashed as gays. We often hear from gay men and lesbians about how often they have endured harsh name calling. Yet, how many straight men grow up being called fags? Or have been punched or taunted for not appearing masculine enough? How many women have been assaulted for not conforming to feminine ideals?
Fortunately, the hate crimes legislation currently being considered by the Senate includes protection from violence directed at those perceived to be lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender individuals. According to the Human Rights Campaign, the bill gives the Justice Department the"power to investigate and prosecute bias-motivated violence by providing the department with jurisdiction over crimes of violence where the perpetrator has selected the victim because of the person's actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability."
Another important and long-overdue bill, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, is being considered by Congress to give federal protection against employment discrimination to lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender individuals. According to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force,"Studies and surveys consistently show that between one-third and one-half of all LGBT respondents have suffered employment-related discrimination."
Why does our society need employment protection and hate crimes legislation? Because anti-gay violence is not just one individual abusing another. As with other hate crimes, it is about establishing a system of terror by sending a message to others with a threat of similar pain.
Such attacks are the product of a culture of hate that punishes perceived gender deviations, be it indicated by clothing, physical behavior, or direct signals of same-gender love. This culture has a deep and complicated history as the Freemasons engraving and poem reveal. But it's never too late to make a change.

Thomas A. Foster - 7/21/2007
Authors rarely get to give titles to op-eds. As I state in the piece:
"even the founding generations had to watch how they carried themselves" -- but my phrasing makes for a less catchy headline. Editors know best what gets readers to click their mouse....
John R. Maass - 7/14/2007
Even the author can't really believe that the founding fathers actually "worried" about gay baiting. This piece is a fine example of using the past selectively to push a modern political agenda.

Family Traveling with Young Children
When we arrived, and attempted to check in, we were told that we canceled our room and that there were no vacancies. I complained and showed her my reservation. We were in the area for the Baseball Hall of Fame induction, so all hotels were booked. In fact, this one was about an hour and a half away. Somehow they made it work. We had booked the "suite" which provided a separate room for the kids. The room had 3 beds. We were traveling with 2 adults and 2 children. The clerk said that we had to pay extra for the fourth person and charged me and extra $15 per night. The room was cramped, but manageable. There was an air conditioner, television, and refrigerator, all sharing two outlets--so you have do decide which one not to run at any given time. The best part was when we heard the kids screaming in the other room. A mouse came running into the room from an adjoining door (the laundry room), and made itself at home. Eventually, we chased it back and attempted to clog the door crack with towels. It didn't matter. When the morning came, it was back. My wife actually trapped it under the ice container and there we left it. We informed the clerk and rather than apologize, offer us a refund (that $30 would have been nice).
