We demand that the Government STOP mining personal data on private citizens immediately.
Jack Cunningham
You are being watched!!
At this very moment, the National Security Agency (NSA) is looking through billions of our emails and phone records. The day is fast approaching when EVERYONE could be under complete surveillance by government authorities. And it won't stop until we show mass opposition to mass surveillance!
The National Security Agency has gone too far, and now it's time for Congress to rein it in. To fight back, we must support the USA Freedom Act sponsored by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.). If passed the bill would curb the NSA's most egregious abuses by ending bulk collection of our phone records and requiring more oversight and transparency of the agency's domestic surveillance programs.
Enough is Enough! This is a gross violation of our privacy and must be stopped immediately! Tell Congress to protect our rights by passing the USA Freedom Act. Please sign the petition today.

A few individuals in the United States sometimes decide to make unsafe decisions while driving that can result in the creation of dangerous situations. These situations do not always involve just the person making the decision but can sometimes involve others in the immediate vicinity as well. Unfortunately, this can result in the serious injury or even death of innocent bystanders. A motor vehicle accident in California took the life of one child recently.
The accident took place after one vehicle struck another while trying to flee from the police on the night of April 3. The chase started after the man was pulled over, slammed into the police car and drove away. The suspect only drove two blocks before colliding with the other vehicle.

That bird is ridiculously adorable. <:
And yay you made a thread!! Marvellous. MOAR PLZ.
While trying to find some art for this thread I confirmed what I was suspecting, I have done way too much fan art this last year, so I'm going to attempt making some more original work as I feel it's been dumbing down my creativity.
Some quick pencil sketches
Trying to do some digital painting of animals here
So far only animals and monsters as I fail at drawing humans, so I might put some up for critique later on. I hope I can post some more stuff here in the near future
That bird is ridiculously adorable. <:
And yay you made a thread!! Marvellous. MOAR PLZ.
Sparrows are adorable and there are always a bunch of them in the garden, so always enough reference.
Well thanks, I'm still trying out a lot of different styles as I haven't really found my own definitive style yet, but I like the more painting-style approach. It's really relaxing to do as well.
Anyway, something I drew today:
Yay, you made a thread. You have a lovely painting style ;o that sparrow and the pig are looking great. Were they both done on the GB?
The kombucha mushroom people, sitting around all day.
Thank you
Nah, the things in the first post were from before I joined here and the pig was also done in ps, but I'll probably do some stuff like this in the GB in the future. Up until now I have mainly been practicing some other stuff there.
So, made this on the GB. I've got used to my usual brushes way too much. Couldn't get that same feel here, looks way too blurry. Tried with harder brushes, but that looked too much like cell shading.
And the duck is way too big as well.

Cool pic!
If you're having troubles on the GB, I suggest using a mix of the Ink and Pen tool together. Use the Ink tool for the hard cell like shading to block in your colours then use the Pen tool as a blender with a 'middle' colour to create a gradient. Or if you want a softer look, use the Pen tool in alternating opacities. It's really trial and error in the GB, take some time out to experiment with all the tools and their sliders, you get some really awesome effects!!
Yeah, I used the ink tool as a base, then used the pen on top. But the GB really is a nice place just to try stuff out.

Linda I know what you mean as far as feeling like a freak of nature. I was 46 when I became a widow after 20 very loving years with my Chris. He was 3 years younger than me and held his age beautifully. I do not understand this dating thing at all. Before I was married I never dated much, certainly not like my two sisters or friends did. So I will stumble along. I am finding out that I am considered a fairly young grandmother of 3. So many of the men my age have children at home and I am not so sure I want to relive going through the trials of raising a teenager again. My husband did not die a heros death like yours did but he died a victims death so I had anger issues to resolve. I am not sure what you mean by pariah?
I, too, feel a bit strange in todays world being alone. But I grab onto those whom have gone through the same experience and boy, are they a breath of fresh air. The great thing about you is that you have no bitterness in your heart and life is beautiful. Its a reflection coming from your smile and it beams across the horizon. People are attracted to genuine smiles and you will have more on your plate than you bargained for.
I hope John spelt it correctly, 'nature', not 'naturist', unless he has a rare ability to pass oxygen into the atmosphere while greening himself in the sun, in which case, we might pass a plate around and give him one of these for those few formal occasions such as church when a fig leaf is kind of inadequate.
Will this be letting an elephant into the matrimonial home? And it lives for such a long time too, as long as a long marriage perhaps, and it remembers every thing that slights, nicks and pricks. Or will it be letting in two elephants, one for each spouse? Will there be a need for elephant whispering during those F2Fs before anything settles down, "What is a hero? Are there grades of hero? What size hole-in-the-soul does a hero leave? Can it be filled? Must it be filled? Are you a hero? Does it matter?"

Practicing clothing design.
More design
Cyberpunk protagonist things! Used my own face. Heavily influenced by Deus Ex D:
One hour study!
A little update on that last sketch
I really like that 1hr foot study. Good job! =]
I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly!
Hey thanks man!
Little warmup. Having a hard time dividing the planes. Values are all over the place!
Doing mighty fine in here man, just wanted to drop by and show my support!
I think you nailed the problem with the latest enviro. Do you start with grayscale?
That usually helps me, to focus only on values before going to color.
really nicceeee work on that, umm, foot...study( that sounded crass). I wonder if there's a better term for studies of feet. Anyways, i digress, a lot, some of those toes looked abit like conjoined twins. I did love the colouring. Work on your brushing (texturing and messy strokes). Umm, Also, saturation on your colours can be abit too strong on the darkest parts. Try to lift them up
My sketchthing
If i don't reply to questions on others sketchbooks, send me a message. I'm very scatterbrained
Flaskpost Thanks for the support man, keeps me going!
I think that I made a step in the right direction atleast. No I didn't, tried starting with color this time! Yeah it usually do it aswell but I think that I'm lacking a lot of clear shapes and planes in my environment pieces. I should work on it!
LoudLikeNature Thanks, now when you've mentioned it, I can't stop seeing the conjoined toes! Haha we'll call it Monopedal Observation, or bipedal if you're bold and heroic. Yeah I tend to go really dark still. I will, thank you for pointing it out!
Took a break from the computer screen yesterday. Found a skull and observed it for a while, kinda fun painting with aquarelle in your sketchbook. Also did a still life this morning, the coffe is cold though. Not worth it.

Tried only using a hardbrush on the study (above) and then applying it with some imagination sparks(middle)! These are pretty experimental and since I hate using hardbrushes, I should probably do something along these lines more. Then I drew something very simple trying to grasp what it is that I want to learn, which is seperating the values according to depth and planes. Felt liberating doing these things.
More simple stuff
A bipedal observation, because foot/feet-study sounds so medieval! Used an even more textured brush. Hopefully it doesn't look like conjoined toes this time around. But I bet that it does.
nice studies! I personally am not a fan of the textured look to the bottom image-- really makes your edges look strange. I would try to use it for making brushstrokes on the inner parts of the forms as opposed to their edges.
can't wait to see more (:
I really like it how you've started to try out different brushes, though you should try even more varied brushes and create some new ones too.
(Should do that myself too). Also try to pay more attention to edges. Like in this latest feet study the outlines are too crispy looking now. But good skin tones.
Nice looking studies overall and it's good to see you are working hard and doing stuff from imagination too. Keep it up!
Dirgeance Thank you! I understad and I don't think that I like the edges myself, almost look like aquarelle on wet paper haha. But it was a nice brush to play around with, couldn't really do major details.
Me neither, thanks for stopping by!
Satu Thanks, it feels quite refreshing! Yeah I've been wanting to do that, but the ones that I make are utterly useless haha! Yeah I agree, they didn't come out very good and I'll definitely keep that in mind.
Thank you! I try to vary it a lot, mostly because I can't decide what to focus on
A quick and simple warmup, plus a screencap from Blade Runner. Gaff is the man.
Played around a bit today. That text is so poorly written that I cringe. I'm sorry for your eyes.
Morning study, value with a new textured brush. Following some advice from Satu.
Quick thing
Morning sketch, trying to lineart more.
Sunday Funday
Nice studies, I like the variation you are doing.
The feet studies came out well too. Though as with the other studies and your
work in general, there should be more definition/ more hard lines. Look for the
edges and where bone meets skin.
Danny_K Icecold
"Good artists are the crappy artists who never gave up!!"
BlackDelphin Heya Delphin!Thanks for dropping by again. Your last comment really helped me level up a bit!
I agree with your critique and I'll try to be more aware of it from now on. Not quite sure on how to go forth and study it though!
Not really happy with how I draw / think of eyes, so I'm going to try and do around 100 of these within a month. Going to mix studies with imagination here. We'll see how it goes!
Will probably finish this weeks ChoW, felt like ages ago that I participated. Here's the initial sketch and some progress.
And more eyes from my study-project. Feels like I'm learning something, and as said, I'm mixing imagination with reference here! I should probably mark them out later durp!
Figuring out how to render metal on armors
Rather large update since the site has been down
Hardedges and architecture!
Some nice stuffs here. I would recommend focusing on colour theory. This will help you produce more eye catching images and should take your art work to the next level.
phoenicorn Thanks man will definitely do that! Though I think it will come with more practice.
Hard edged study from real life
Started up the Snow White project again. Here are some dwarves! Tried coming up with some classes for them, making 'em some sort of cool mining team!

I'm installing a new Jacuzzi tub this summer and will be doing so in a Vancouver High Rise Condo. The owner does not want to bother their neighbors with any kind of Vibration or operation noise. I suggested using the Noble Company's NobleSeal SIS as a primary sound proofing approach.
My thoughts are that the closet should also be soundproofed since the access panel projects a couple inches into this wall. I fear that the closet will act like a speaker box so I plan to use more of this NobleSeal SIS to box out the door and access panel.
Here is some info on the Sound Proofing I'll use.
Sound Reduction: NobleSeal SIS was tested by Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories in accordance with ASTM E 492-90 and ASTM E 90-90. Test construction included a sound rated ceiling, concrete substrate 6 x 6 quarry tile, and latex modified thin-set. Test results follow: IIC = 62, STC = 59 NobleSeal SIS also exceeded code requirements in field tests by acoustical laboratories with other construction configurations. Field tests conducted in compliance with ASTM E 1007.
<ASTM E2179 ∆ IIC = 12 Applicable Standards: City of Los Angeles (RR# 25268) Protects Thin-Set Tile from Cracking: NobleSeal SIS was tested by the Tile Council of North America for system performance in accordance with ASTM C 627 (Robinson Test). NobleSeal SIS passed 14 cycles and was rated for Extra Heavy Service. Exceeds High Performance criteria for ANSI A118.12 (jig test).
Because this access panel is on the back side there is no need for any fancy tile applications and I can just focus on building it with sound reduction in mind.
One of the benefits of this approach is that I can prepare the floor heat and tile prep before the tub goes in and then use the NobleSeal SIS as both, waterproofing, crack isolation and sound reduction. No need for any other steps!!!

beware – As a former employee of the bakery (2007-2008) I would urge you never to purchase anything from here. The sanitation practices are horrible at best. Im talking mold in many of the bread machines, product that sits out for days before it is packaged as fresh. Many of the things that are used by the cake decorators sit in the fridge and mold excessively.
If there is ever a question of my sincerity, all you need to do is look in the bakery at about 8:00 and look at all the racks with product on it covered in plastic. Your fresh made cookies, breads, and pastries are often times a day or so old before they are even packaged.
The fresh muffin case is a joke. If you think those are fresh daily you are sadly mistaken. I was a witness on several occasions to bakers who were sick working with no gloves, blowing their nose on the floor, no hair nets, not washing their hands, nor using any sort of clean baking pans (how good do you think cookies taste on a pan used the day before for jalapeno bread?).

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 148
Beginning of November, during a weekend
For the application, make sure to check out the website around a month before the event. Check often as this can change.
In 2010, I think it was 30$ for the 2-days event, but there's also a price if you just want to be there for one day.
If you have any questions, just ask. :)
Ravenswing Zine qand Craft Fair
mid-to end of May annually, usually all day [11-5ish]
Minto Park [or Jack Purcell Community Centre in the event of rain] Ottawa, ON
Application deadline is usually end of April
Tables are usually $10 for a half, $20 for a whole.
Ravenswing is a delightful fair that occurs every year in May in a park in downtown Ottawa. It's usually a good mix of zinesters and local artisans young and old, though last year there weren't many zines, which was a sad thing [probably because the Montreal anarchist bookfair was the same weekend that year - usually it's a week before]. Because it's outdoors and downtown, you get a lot of street traffic you wouldn't normally get at a regular zine fair, which is nice. The organizers are great and there are workshops and local bands [usually really good!] who perform in the later part of the day.
Spaces are first come first serve, so show up early to get a place in the shade, or bring your own. Also! Bring your own chairs!
Saturday Mar 26th, London Public Library....11AM to whenever...more details at the link.

1942 Just Me - John
So many things happened at this house. I found I was pregnant again and when I told Ted he said "Never mind. It's our love blooming".
John was growing like a weed and picked up things so quickly. He knew I went into a large airing cupboard for clean sheets and climbed on a stool he had found and turned the key locking me in. I started to
panic imagining what could happen without me. But there was my ever steady Bryan and hearing me calling came and let me out. Phew! A nasty moment.
A few days later my naughty John stood at the top of the stairs with a grin on his little face going to step down. I grabbed at him but missed, and down he went four steps to the small landing where the stairs bent. About the same time a neighbour called to see me, (in those days front doors were left open to air the house), and to my horror John, sobbing and crying said "Mummy pushed me down the stairs".
I collected him up and cuddled him but although he had fallen those four steps he wasn't even bruised. Just scared. I didn't know if she actually saw what happened but she was quite cool when I denied it but about six months later she and her husband asked if they could adopt John. I was quite shocked and gave a resounding "No!" Lose my dear little John. The idea!
From a new baby, John was a mischief. His little eyes would twinkle as I fed him. All my children were bottle fed. I was a failed cow. Just no milk. Then came the day I went to the greengrocer shop. The shop was on a corner with a cul de sac on one side. Pushing the pram into the cul de sac I walked around to the door. A loud boom and rush of air and I was flying through the air. Straight through the shop landing on a rack used for display. My one thought was John and in terror of what I would find stumbled out to my baby. The bomb blast had not touched him. The curve of the shop protected him. I left for home and a good cup of tea. Only then did I realise that I had been blown up by a bomb blast again. Well I was lucky. People were killed that day.
A few weeks later, shopping once more, as I passed an open shop door a large dog, nearly as big as an Alsatian jumped across the pram. It landed in the middle of the pram on top of John. The dog was snarling and growling and John was screaming and crying. I didn't stop to think, just grabbed the dog by the scruff of the neck and tail and threw it as far as I could. How did I ever get the strength. The dog was trying to get to its owner inside the shop. John could not be calmed down so I went home as quickly as I could. Wrapping him up in a warm blanket I laid him on the settee while I called the doctor. The fact that by now John was blue in the face and his eyes seemed blank frightened me. The doctor came quickly and after giving an injection said he was afraid of meningitis and there must be absolute quiet and no disturbing for nappy change or anything. He returned in the afternoon and John had recovered slightly but it was ten days before he was back to normal. Although we had a dog he would never play with it and to this day will not have a dog near him.
Again as a toddler, still sleeping in his cot which fitted nicely into the corner of the room, he blotted his copy book. Going in to wake him I found him standing up surrounded by flakes of paper. Wallpaper no less. He had busily stripped the two walls beside him for as far as he could reach. At first Dad was furious but then said "So we have children. These things happen". He was a good man.

So, it was the S3 season finale last night. I was unimpressed with some elements of it, but liked it overall. There just wasn't as much resolution to some of the loose ends as I was hoping for.
Russell doesn't die!
Eric doesn't want Russell to die!
Godric "reappears" Obi-Wan Kenobi-style! WTFWTF?
Bill's original motives for getting close to Sookie are revealed. They are not nice. A little bit WTF.
Jason is in charge of all the backwoods were-panthers now that Uncle Daddy has been shot! By Fenton!
Now that Sam is a huge asshole, we see him shoot (shoot at?) Tommy. I hope Tommy isn't dead.
Lafayette is trippin' balls, and Jesus is a witch.
There's lots more, but I don't want to put the highlights of the episode in spoiler tags. I'm a little worried that with the introduction of witches next season, TB is marginalizing the original conflict of humans vs. vampires. We're getting into the Hollywood Monsters highlight reel territory here with all these supernaturals. Alan Ball said that S4 will get back to the political issues of the previous seasons, so I've got my fingers crossed. I thought S3 was the weakest season so far, but it was still loads of fun.

i thought season three was a return to form, after season two going off the rails...
the obi-wan-godrich was a bit crap...
if the next season is losing one of the main characters, then i'm delighted that it's tara - her character stared so strongly, but went the furthest downhill...
the witch thing is interesting, but mainly because it's lafayette...
bill is evil, eric is lovely - i've been saying this all along...
what's the doll on hoyt and jessica's front room pre-empting?
i didn't mind sam 'fuck with me and i'll kill you' going off the rails. tommy was in need of a beating. maybe a wounding will see him right...
not as explosive and cliffhangery as the 'entourage' finale, but all in all a reasonable end to a good series.
"they call me jason" or whatever the line was - great stuff...

I watched it yesterday lunchtime. Some crap, lots of fun bits.
The doll on Hoyt & Jessica's floor looked to me like a perfect harbinger of ghosties. We've not had them yet - aside from Obi Wan Godric - so wouldn't surprise me if they chucked some poltergeist action into the mix.

I saw the end too - that i09 post was funny!
- I like the Lala and his awakened witchcraft gene. And him and Jesus.
- Bad assed Sam is much more interesting.
- Evil snively Bill - I KNEW IT! He is such a wee shit.
- Noble sexy Eric and his touching relationship with Pam. Awww.
- Comedy Russell. I don't care if he comes back actually. I think he has run his course. But the burnt version was funny.
- Hoyt and Jessica and the doll (which i thought linked to lala's spooky doll friends?).
- The decision to loose Tara was good but brave.
- Sookie is less annoying but the final ep had some mega Paquin face scrunching going on. But badassed Sookie is far better. She should cop-off with Alcide.
- All in all; a not perfect but reasonably good end to the season.
- The Queen. Boring. She can't act. Don't care. Hope she dies.
- Meth-animals. Hate this plotline. It's so 'meh'. It's ruining Jason and making him less fun. Crystal the panther is dull and the actress is annoying. Don't care.
- I take it more fairy stuff means more of that awful gown and running around in cemeteries with British actors. It might not be as awful as I think. But it probably will.
- Godric the friendly ghost is cheese-balls. I hope it doesn't happen again.
- The waitress with the far-apart eyes is hugely annoying too. And has a bad face. I don't like her.
I thought S3 was the weakest season so far, but it was still loads of fun.
Same here. Mainly because maenads are far more plausible than bloody fairies. This is the terrible aspects of Harris's writing. She brings all the monsters to the ball. Reminded me of the amazing Penny Dreadful's pish-take of Twilight when it is vampires versus mummies. You think that Bon Temps will get a Bubba Ho-tep?
Actually, that might be fun.
But mainly - Alan Ball's characters evolve the most. It is very obvious who is better at character forming.

I'm up to episode 8 of season 3 and I got to wondering - just how long has it been since Bill turned up in Bon Tempes? Given all the episodes run on from each other I reckon he's only been there about 6 months. That's an awful lot to have happened in six months.

I finished Season 2 yesterday after the third of three bulk watching sessions with a couple of friends. I really enjoyed the last couple of episodes - including the finale, which was quite odd in the way that it resolved everything quite early on, but did set up some nice plot threads for Season 3 - and thought that the season overall overcame a weak opening to become even better than Season 1. Alexander Skarsgard really came into his own this season, and I thought the show managed to make much better use of its splintered cast than in the first season (Tara, in particular, felt less like a third wheel than she did the first time round) by developing each of them fully and not letting any one of them drag on too long. Case in point; the fundamentalist Christian lot, whose plotline was good but who were dropped before they got too boring.
One thing that struck me this time around was how good the show is at cliffhangers. When we started our second session, we were on episode four, but every subsequent episode had such a shocking or fun cliffhanger that we had to keep watching until we'd watched six episodes in a row and it was 3 in the morning. I think only Breaking Bad does better cliffhangers than True Blood, but never episode after episode.
Jason and Eric continued to be the most fun (the line: "If a tree falls in the woods, it's still a tree, ain't it?" had me in peals of laughter) but I was surprised by how much I liked Jessica by the end of the season. When they introduced her in Season 1, she was petulant and annoying and I was so glad that they moved away from that towards making her more vulnerable and scared. Her relationship with Hoyt was quite sweet, if weird, and I'm really interested in seeing where they take her character in the future.
So, yeah, I really loved it. Can't wait to see Season 3.
I have basically just done the same thing over the course of about 4 days (school holidays).
I really really got bored of the whole zombie MaryAnn storyline though, which probably differs from what you thought, and I am also finding Sookie and Bill two of the least watchable characters. Sookie is a bit like Claire from Heroes, only less nasal and a bit needier.
Jason, Hoyt, Terry and the Vampire Queen were all very good. And Jessica, who I was sort of disappointed by half-way through, but then grew to like again.
My only other negative would be that finale episode. I like having all the loose ends tied up, but then just as it seemed we were on for a nice bit of calming down and re-organisation, another few strands split open ready for Series 3. I think I just wanted a bit more peace and quiet first.

I'd be happiest if they'd just get rid of Bill and Sookie, or just Bill. I've watched series 3 on FX and I'm glad Tara's gone, they really wasted her as a character. I hope she doesn't come back in series four but I fear she will. I was a bit disappointed in series three, it seemed they felt they had to focus on the really strong secondary characters that the series two storyline created but they aren't strong enough characters to hold their own storylines outside of the main thread and it just fell a bit flat. Generally I'd just like more Eric and Pam, Jessica's good too.

Bill and Sookie are the worst characters. And they have the worst accents apparently - although top honours goes to Tara. General consensus amongst my American friends (some of whom are Southern) is that she is the least convincing of all.
Most authentic - Jason, Lafayette, Hoyt and Sam. I figured they would be.

yeah, season two is all good, barring the two main narrative threads; crappy maryann/tara/eggs and crappy bill/sookie...
there's lots more to love in season three, barring sookie/bill/tara...
i'm hoping that benjamin linus (husband of arlene!!!, who played his mum in 'lost') gets the part in the show that alan ball seemed keen to give him...

Good stuff, I wonder when Season 3 will be on terrestrial... Unless I've missed it of course.
I almost wish for a Terry spin-off, complete with army flashbacks.

Soft Structured Carriers
Ergo Baby Carrier
" My husband and I are anti-"baby bucket." Everyone these days seems to carry their baby around in a plastic bucket with a handle, holding her at shin height and putting her on the floor for convenience. When I got pregnant, we swore we would never be "bucket people." We didn't know it at the time, but we were destined to become Ergo people instead. Need to get your..." --JulieInChicago
ERGO Baby Organic Carrier
"I used the Ergo with my first until he was nearly three. He preferred to be on my front most of the time, right up till the end. We used it for grocery stores, walks, travel (so great for airports!) and some epic hikes. I am now using it for my second baby, age 3 months. She was too big for the newborn insert (birth weight 11 lbs, 4 oz and the insert goes to 12 lbs!), so I had..." --MinneapolisMama
Babytrekker - Deluxe 5 position carrier
" I love my babytrekker. It's super comfy and once you figure it all out, I find it rather simple to use. My sons both seemed to feel comfortable in it and I was able to use it with my second boy from birth to a bit over 18 months with no issues. I'd have used it longer but I mostly use it to take walks and started letting him walk around with us a little after that and then I got preggo again..." --dayiscoming2006
ERGO Sport Carrier
" We use this carrier all the time. We love to hike and walk all over town with this carrier. One thing that I really like is that the ERGO sport carrier keeps me cool on the outings which is no small feat carrying a little love oven everywhere. Definately worth the price if you want a carrier that can take long hikes. Sometimes it seems like the straps slip on long hikes and..." --psmama
Moby GO Baby Carrier
The Moby GO is an amazingly comfortable baby carrier designed with the ergonomic features and comfort that Moby is known for. Perfect for babies 15 - 45lbs.

The Supreme Court on Monday declined to review a case that charged federal regulators allowed a mid-level ethanol fuel blend onto the market without proper testing.
The move preserves a space at the gas pump for E15 fuel, a mix comprised of 15 percent ethanol — compared with the standard 10 percent — and 85 percent petroleum by leaving intact a 2009 Environmental Protection Agency ruling that E15 is safe to use in cars made in 2001 or later.
The biofuel industry praised the decision, characterizing it as the nail in the coffin for attacks against E15 by the oil industry and food groups.
"I am pleased that today's Supreme Court action ends a long and drawn out petroleum industry effort to derail the commercialization of E15. The uncertainty created by this lawsuit has chilled commercial activity that would provide American consumers more affordable choices at the pump," Renewable Fuels Association CEO Bob Dinneen said in a statement.

In countries around the world, MCC works in the name of Christ to meet basic needs. In eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, where violence has caused many people to be displaced more than once, Msawato school grounds filled with those seeking shelter. MCC funded two food distributions in partnership with the Church of Christ of Congo's Ministry of Refugees and Emergencies (ECC-MERU) at the school. People from the school were displaced again in November 2012 when rebel group M23 took control of the city of Goma, the provincial capital of North Kivu.

This guided imagery meditation is an amazingly beautiful way to help reconnect to one's soul and inner power!
I have all of Lynne's mp3s and feel that they are divinely inspired. I feel so surrounded by love and a sense of total surrender when I listen to her warm, beautiful, reassuring voice. Such beautiful imagery. My daughter and I were at an ashram together and I played one on my portable iPOD player as we were going to sleep. In the morning, she told me it was so beautiful and touching that it made her cry (she's 22). The love that emanates from and through Lynne is incredible. I recommend ALL of her guided imagery tapes, they are wonderful!
This CD created by Lynne Newmann Is no less than brilliant. The meditation allows you to journey inward and see the colors of you sould. It helps you connect with your spririt and provides a relaxing way to further explore your inner journey.
I do much better with guided meditation than meditation on my own and this cd is terrific! Lynne Newman's voice is relaxing, comfortable and gentle. The music is soothing and a great background for practicing self-meditation. I highly recommend it. I have just purchased Lynne's other meditation mp3s and can't wait to listen to them!
This CD was such a blessing to me I ordered one for a friend who was going through intense treatment for breast cancer. She took this CD with her every trip to chemo and listened to it the entire time. She took it to bed with her at night to listen as she dropped off to sleep. She felt Lynne was her campanion on her healing journey. What a gift Lynne is to the Universe!
I have the great fortune of knowing Lynne Newman personally and professionally.
I attend the Women's Circle Lynne Newman offers as often as my schedule permits.
I received this CD as a gift a couple of years ago. It absolutely works! It is a great tool that helps me prepare and focus for my day ahead. When I feel overwhelmed or over-burdened, one meditaion from this CD helps put matters into perspective. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
I find this c.d to be very powerful in creating deep peace and healing when I listen to it.I suffer with intense pain and everytime I have played it,it has made a tremendous difference not only in my body but it helps me to cope with the day ahead.Highly recommended !!!!!
I have found Song of the Soul a powerful tool to unwind, meditate and transform my spirit into balance. Lynne's voice gently guides me into a sacred space, a santuary that sooths my soul. Truly, a gift to mind, body and spirit.
This cd was really exilerating and very helpful for not only my sanity but also for my family. I have even passed this cd on to a dear friend, shirleen, who has been suffering from loss and everyday anxiety. This cd has helped me to feel the presence of God and the God within myself. I was actually able to meditate and see the world that exists within my dreams. Ms. Newman's voice is so soothing and trustworthy, that i am eternally gratefully to her and the strength in which she has conjured to be able to help so many including myself acheive a taste of heaven here within this world. I applaude Ms. Newman for her work and i would and will encourage others to buy this cd. Ms. Newman really has given me the opportunity to feel new strength and renewal and her work (cd) has everything to do with it. Thank you Ms. Newman for your love and time to help so many of us taste a piece of heaven. I am truely and whole-heartedly thankful.

Astaro Security Gateway (formerly Astaro Security Linux) is an all-in-one network security gateway that includes a firewall, intrusion protection, antivirus, spam protection, URL filtering, and a VPN gateway. Features include a modern packet filter, intrusion detection and prevention, portscan detection, application control, content filtering, virus detection for email and Web traffic, profile handling, L2TP, IPSec, SSL, and PPTP VPN tunneling, spam blocking, proxies for HTTPS, HTTP, FTP, POP3, SMTP, DNS, VoIP, SOCKS, and Ident, logging, and reporting. It supports Ethernet, VLAN, PPP, PPPoE, PPPoA, Cable Modem, IPv6, QoS, Link Aggregation, and WAN-Uplink-Load balancing in routing, and bridge mode. The WebAdmin GUI, Install Wizard, Change Tracking, Printable Configuration, and Up2Date service make it easy to install, manage, and maintain.
OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) is an easy-to-use integrated penetration testing tool for finding vulnerabilities in Web applications. It is designed to be used by people with a wide range of security experience and as such is ideal for developers and functional testers who are new to penetration testing as well as being a useful addition to an experienced pen tester's toolbox. ZAP provides automated scanners as well as a set of tools that allow you to find security vulnerabilities manually.
nassh-relay implements a relay server used with the Secure Shell (hterm) plugin for the Chromium Web browser. It tunnels ssh traffic through an HTTP xhr or websockets connection. It could be used as a gateway to route traffic to an internal network (it supports authentication on the HTTP endpoint) or simply as an ssh-over-HTTP proxy.
The Apache Traffic Server (TS or ATS) is a modular, high-performance reverse proxy server, generally comparable to Squid. It was created by Inktomi, and distributed as a commercial product called the Inktomi Traffic Server, before Inktomi was acquired by Yahoo!. Traffic Server has been actively used inside of Yahoo for over 4 years, serving billions of requests every day. As of fall 2009, Traffic Server is an Open Source project, and in April 2010 the Apache Traffic Server was promoted to a top-level project of the ASF.
SquidTL allows proxy administrators to manage proxy users: define how much time users can spend on a specific Web site, block sites, limit total time users can spend on the Web daily, and watch users' activity. For example, you can limit the use of Facebook or other social networks with per-user rules or IP. It has a small memory footprint and very fast execution. Management can be done with a smart Web-based administration GUI.
sec-wall is a feature-packed security proxy that supports SSL/TLS, WS-Security, HTTP Auth Basic/Digest, extensible authentication schemes based on custom HTTP headers and XPath expressions, powerful URL matching/rewriting, and an optional header enrichment. It's a security wall with which you can conveniently fence otherwise defenseless backend servers.
KnProxy is a small PHP based Web proxy that makes use of the cURL module built into PHP. It uses limited server resources while still maintaining performance. KnProxy is aimed to be easy to use and does not inject information into Web pages. It returns the Web page as is, only changing the links to the resources to be proxied. The URL is obfuscated to prevent tracking or URL filtering. KnProxy has extended support for AJAX calls and JavaScript. This tool can be useful in places where the Internet is not as free as intended. It is also good for bypassing school or office firewalls. It is especially optimized to get past the GFW of China.
pwnat, pronounced "poe-nat", is a tool that allows any number of clients behind NAT gateways to communicate with a server behind a separate NAT with no port forwarding and no DMZ setup on any routers in order to directly communicate with each other. The server does not need to know anything about the clients trying to connect, nor does it need to communicate with any other hosts in order to initiate the communication. Simply put, this is a proxy server that works behind a NAT, even when the client is behind a NAT. There is no middle man, no proxy, no third party, no UPnP required, no spoofing, and no DNS tricks. More importantly, the client can then connect to any host or port on any remote host or to a fixed host and port decided by the server.
Mireka is a mail server with SMTP, Mail Submission, and POP3 services. It can also be used as an SMTP proxy. As a proxy, it can help to prevent or diagnose mail problems, like outgoing backscatter spam. It provides detailed logging, basic mail traffic statistics, tarpit to prevent email harvesting, and loop detection. It can filter email by DNSBL, SPF, mail size, local domains, and recipients list. Local recipients can be specified using regular expressions. TLS is supported for incoming connections. Aliases, forward lists, and very simple mailing lists can be configured in XML. Custom filters and other components can be written in Java, and they can be easily implemented and installed.

Google gets Chinese licenseJuly 9, 2010: 8:24 AM ET
Google Music (along with Translate and Products) also appears in the links on Google's updated China site.
Today, Google announced that it has received a license renewal from the Chinese government.
We are very pleased that the government has renewed our ICP license and we look forward to continuing to provide web search and local products to our users in China.
Google's (GOOG) ability to do business in China was recently put in question by the government's request for Google to remove their auto redirect to Google's Chinese Hong Kong site.
Google then built a manual redirect, which sent users to Google.com.hk when they clicked anywhere on the page. Was this enough for the Chinese government? Perhaps, if the new license turns out to be any indication.
The Chinese Google site now also has links below the search bar to "Products, Translate, and Music" as well.

Chelsea's recent away form, capped by the third goal at Norwich, plus an inspiring image place supporter and columnist Giles Smith in a good frame of mind as he writes this week…
If Willian had been able to sit down at the beginning of the season with a fully qualified computer graphics expert and design his ideal first goal for the club - running it through various high-end football simulation software programmes in order to get it absolutely right - I don't suppose it would have come out looking as handsome as the one he scored against Norwich last Sunday lunchtime.
Struck with force, curl and impeccable timing, that goal left the judges no option but to grade it a 10 for both technical content and artistic interpretation and, as the ball sailed into the net, it was gloriously clear that the club has found another player to join David Luiz in the 'PlayStation-come-to-life' category.
(I always thought the computer game 'insult' that Gary Neville aimed at David Luiz was more complimentary than Neville realised, it actually being extremely hard to do, in real life, what 10-year-olds make those FIFA14 figures do on a screen. And it has long since turned out that I was right.)
Willian's goal for 3-1 rather artistically brought to a conclusion a highly productive phase of action. Four consecutive away games in three different competitions: 10 goals scored and only two conceded; three games won and one drawn. And, arguably, the one that was drawn would have been a victory, too, if the referee hadn't been deceived into sending our striker off at exactly the moment he looked like striking.
Of course, now another international break has intervened, threatening to disrupt everybody's rhythm again, which is not just a shame but also an absolute scandal, for which someone really ought to be sued. Still. A promising phase, none the less. And capped by that fantastic goal.
Merely hours after Willian struck, and ensuring that the buoyancy of the general mood ran on well into the week, Spurs somehow contrived to lose 0-3 at home to (of all people) West Ham - a classically uplifting result, the only disappointing aspect of which was in the way it made our own surrendering of two points on the same ground a week earlier look still more disappointing, even allowing for the fact that we only had 10 men for the critical portion of the game.
Far be it from me to presume to analyse Spurs' problems, or try to get to the bottom of what's going wrong for the club this season. But it did seem, looking at the highlights at the weekend and reading a couple of the match reports, that what their side is lacking at the moment is a creative midfielder - someone who could come on at a critical moment in the game, find a moment of brilliance and potentially clinch a match which, moments before, had looked to be on a knife-edge.
The kind of player who could latch onto a ball way out to one side of the area and send it curling into the far corner with the goalkeeper flailing and getting nowhere near it.
Someone like Willian, say.
But those kinds of players are hard to find, as we all know only too well.
I'm a big fan of the 'Shot of the Day' feature in the Shed section of this website - an invitation to wallow in the club's photographic archive, one picture at a time. There aren't many quiet or dispirited moments in my working day, I find, which can't be enlivened greatly by a rare shot of Tore Andre Flo in his pomp or a picture from further back, of a team from the 1940s or 1950s, say, training in what appear to be cable-knit sweaters and using a ball which patently has all the suppleness and 'give' of a sixteenth-century cannonball.
I find that web-page to be an oasis of calm, a restorative place which inspires reflection - much as, I imagine, some people find BBC Radio 4's 'Thought for the Day'. And I bet I'm not alone.
But even by that feature's estimable standards, yesterday's 'Shot' was a corker - a black and white picture from the opening day of the 1955/56 season with the Football League Championship Cup being taken round the Stamford Bridge pitch for the benefit of the fans… on a trolley.
On a plinth, we should say, on a trolley, with both the plinth and the trolley ceremonially draped in what appear to be custom-made table cloths. The trophy seems to have been forcefully tethered to the plinth with string, or similar, to stop it falling off on its way round the old greyhound track, an accident which might have drained the parade of much of its grandeur.
No players seem to be present at this happy moment, meaning that the emphasis is very much on the trophy - though note, also in the picture, the hoarding at the back end of the ground promoting Mackeson's beer which is testament to a golden age of advertising when, in order to create a campaign, it was enough to print the name of the brand in really big letters with an exclamation mark at the end of it.
But mostly it's about the trolley. On similar occasions in recent years, when there have been cups to show, the players have walked around carrying them, and passing them between one another - and this, too, has its thrills and its good points as a spectacle. Nevertheless, I defy anyone to look at the photo from 1955 and not end up wanting to see the trolley make a comeback.
Does the club still have it somewhere? Or one similar? With the relevant table cloths? I think it should be re-employed at the earliest opportunity. Like, at the end of this season and/or the beginning of the next.
And we can always hope - especially in the light of those four recent away performances and the direction in which they seemed to be pointing. Perhaps we're going to need two or three trolleys.

If you book celebrity speakers, make sure you know what they're planning to say to your audience. That's one lesson attendees took home from the Meeting Professionals International Professional Education Conference, held in New Orleans in January.
On paper, the PEC keynoter, CNN anchor Lynne Russell, looked like the perfect fit with the conference themes of personal and professional empowerment: She's a licensed private investigator, a mom, an author, a scuba diver, and holds two black belts in Choi Kwong Do. But it turned out she's better at reading lines than at writing her own. Her speech, which included a long aside about the cure-all power of shopping at Victoria's Secret, disappointed and even offended so many people that MPI issued an apology to members in its show daily.
On the final day of the conference, Amanda Gore undid some of that damage for those who attended her session, picking up the themes of balancing one's career and relationships both at work and at home.
Other speakers who created a positive buzz included — but were not limited to — Keith Harrell, with his workshop called "Attitude Is Everything," and Joline Godfrey, whose talk was titled, "Getting It Together: Women Making Money, Having Fun, Doing Good."
In other news, MPI announced its first Women's Leadership Initiative project. Wyndham International and The MPI Foundation each will put up $150,000 to research important issues and avenues for success for women in the meeting industry. Professional women represent 75 percent of MPI's membership.

Earn your Stripes
Regiment your ties this fall.
Once man began wearing clothes, it was only inevitable that his garb would come to mean more than just protection from the elements. Meet the regimental tie. A striped friend with a solid past.
Stop Seeing Red
Regimental ties originated in the late 1800s when Great Britain opted to cast the Red Coat uniforms worn by their military aside for something a bit more drab and a lot less likely to look like a target. As a means of sprucing up these new duds, GB adopted a new tradition of wearing striped neckwear. By using different color combinations and patterns, these ties signaled association by regiment, hence the name. The stripes always were always diagonally down from left to right, or from heart to sword. Both dandy and romantic, no?
A Fall Essential
So, this fall stock up on a few. They're simple, classic, and one of the best investments you can make in ties. You can wear them any time of year and always be appropriate. Sadly, you can't say that about your McSorley's t-shirt. Still a great shirt though.
PaulIglesiasEditors: How about 4th row over (l-r) ninth regiment down from the top?
Diego Echeverriit would be great if BBros made US military regimental/division ties... 10th mountain, 1st Cav, 82d airborne, 101st airborne, 3rd ID etc... or maybe one for each branch of the service using their colors? Airforce, Marines, Army, Coast Guard, Navy....
RichardWassermanHow about a more detailed explanation of which regiment is which colour scheme?
The EditorsGreat question, however truthfully, there are far too many. We found literally hundreds in our research. Any particular one you're curious about?
DonJacobsonI think you meant "sidled up," not "saddled up."

Hello, everyone.
What is the best way to make a query object in a document available to an iframe (with a .cfm file as the source of the iframe) in that document?
An iframe is just another window. If it is loading a .cfm file then how woudl you get that query object into any other .cfm file?
Don't let the source being loaded in an iframe confuse you. It's just another .cfm file. It doesn;t become an iframe til it reaches the client, and at that point it is long past ColdFusion's control. If you're thinking that the parent window will somehow pass a CF query to the iframe window, then you're thinking along the wrong track. The parent window is makign the request for the iframe document after it has left the server. It no longer has any concept of what a ColdFusion query is.
If you need to ensure that the parent window and the iframe run the same dynamic query then you could do something like this:
1. User requests the parent window
2. Dyanmic query is run
3. Query is cached in the App or session scope with a Unique key
4. Iframe is created using that unique key (example: <iframe src="/childPage.cfm?queryKey=34jkldsflhsfdsdf" />)
5. When iframe is loaded by the browser it receives that key, looks up the query in the cache and uses it instead of making a new query.
I did NOT think that the parent window will somehow pass a CF query to the iframe window; that's why I came into this forum to ask.
I had thought about inserting the query object into the session scope, but didn't know how to do so.
As of right now, when the iframe loads it is just a blank form. I am using JavaScript to reload the form with the ID of a record when a link is clicked. Instead of reaching out to the database, I figured it would be more efficient to query the query of the parent document.
So, which is best, Application scope, or Session scope? And will a simple CFSET SESSION.VariableName = CFQUERYOBJECT work? I didn't think a simple variable could contain a complex object?
>> So, which is best, Application scope, or Session scope?
If the data is user specific, then probably the session scope. Performance-wise, either one should be fine.
>> And will a simple CFSET SESSION.VariableName = CFQUERYOBJECT work? I didn't think a simple variable could contain a complex object?
What makes a variable simple or complex is its content.
<cfset session.key = 1 /> Creates a simple variable
<cfset session.key = structNew() /> Creates a complex variable
Yes, session.key = queryObject will work just find.
Regarding "Yes, session.key = queryObject will work just find"
cfquery name="session.something" accomplishes the same thing with one less command.
In the parent document, I coded "<cfset session.query1 = queryName>", and in the iframe document, I coded "SELECT * FROM #session.query1# WHERE id=#url.id#" and am getting the error message that complex object types cannot be converted to simple values. Do I need to set the session variable to StructNew(), first?
OP! Got it.. I just had to remove the hash marks from "session.query1" and it worked!
Thanks, Jason!

After a challenging spring that played havoc with planting schedules, Quebec's root vegetable growers were delighted with their long, fairly dry fall, which bodes well for winter storage.
"The fall was exceptional, almost perfect," said Pierre Dolbec, director of development and marketing for Sherrington-based Veg Pro International Inc.
Veg Pro's carrots and onions weren't as abundant as last year's, Dolbec said, but both crops are of very good quality.
"We expect to have carrots in storage until the end of January and storage onions until next year's crop," he said.
After modernizing its carrot plant last year, Veg Pro refitted its onion plant this year with new packaging and sorting equipment.
"Our onions are now pre-sized before they go into storage," Dolbec said.
"Everything's segregated so we can choose exactly what we're going to pack and have better control of our inventory."
Good fall weather also helped the 14 root growers making up Sherrington-based Groupe Vegco Inc.
Though the harvest was later than usual, the co-op now has 30,000 boxes of onions in storage plus normal to above quality carrots that should last until February or March, said account manager Charlene Newton.
Both roots are being packed in redesigned packages with traceable wineglass labels.
Trading has been active and prices steady for Vegco's Quebec and New England customers, Newton said in mid-November.
"Normally we see prices come down once everyone finishes harvesting," she said, "but that didn't happen this season."
Vegco is offering celery root, parsnips and garlic for the first time, along with 2-pound packages of its new golden and candy-cane chiogga beets.
GNC Farms Inc. in St-Lin des Laurentides offers a 2-pound stand-up zip-top pouch of specialty beets.
Guillaume Henri, vice president sales and marketing, said he finished harvesting cabbage and root crops Nov. 12.
Though GNC didn't seed more rutabagas and parsnips, Henri said the yield and quality were higher this year.
"We're really happy with the harvest and we're crossing our fingers that the crops store well," Henri said.
"We store them in the best conditions but you never know."
He noted that parsnip consumption in Quebec increased 42% between 2000 and 2011.
Potato, carrot and onion grower Mario Isabelle, vice president of St. Remi-based C. Isabelle and Sons, said his good potato crop should last until next summer.
