It took seven hours and twenty-two minutes in all, but the Stetson (0-2-0) vs. Georgia Southern (1-0-0) women's soccer game to open the Hatters home slate did eventually end on Sunday. The Eagles defeated Stetson by a score of 2-0 in the first regular season match to be played at the newly renovated Stetson Soccer Complex.
"At this stage of the game I'm not measuring our success in wins and losses," Head Coach Julie Orlowski said. "I'm measuring it in lessons learned and how we respond to adversity. For a while you could see just how talented we are, but you could also see just how young we are. It's starting to gel; we just need to make progress a little sooner in the game."
It was Georgia Southern that made progress early, scoring in the 15th minute to take the lead. Alex Murphy, who was making most of the Eagles' offense happen early on, crossed a ball from the left side of the box, and found an open teammate. Morgan Springer one-touched the pass and put it into the back of the net.
The Hatters were right in the game, recording four shots in the first half, and forcing Georgia Southern goalkeeper Katie Merson to save a pair of them on shots by junior Alexis Trybinski and freshman Mara Keomanivane.
Early in the second half, the Eagles increased their lead to two with a goal in the 52nd minute. A shot by Courtney Collins from around 12 yards out was saved by Stetson goalkeeper junior Victoria Trocolli. Unfortunately for the Hatters, Stephanie Gratto was there to finish off the rebound.
With just under 25 minutes remaining in regulation, some inclement weather made its way into the area, and forced the two teams off of the field. Since the delay lasted past the allotted time regulated to restart the match, the game was officially suspended.
It was then rescheduled for 6:30 p.m. to accommodate both teams' student-athletes, who will be starting classes on Monday. After about four minutes of action on the field, a lightning strike in the area forced the game to be delayed once again. Finally, when the Eagles and Hatters made it back on the field one more time, the two teams played until the final buzzer.
Stetson came out strong after the final weather delay, recording four corner kicks to the Eagles' one, but it wasn't enough. Georgia Southern left DeLand with a 2-0 victory in their first game of the season, dropping the Hatters to 0-2-0.
Stetson will next play host to Embry-Riddle on Saturday, August 25th at 7:00 p.m.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Incline High School's Homecoming Week is upon us. Throughout the week of October 15-19, Incline High School students have and will continue to participate in "Decades" themed Dress-up Days (Monday, 1950s; Tuesday, 1960s; Wednesday, 1970s; Thursday, 1980s; and Friday, Green and Gold).
Also during the week were and are daily activities during lunchtime connected to the "Decades" theme (Monday, Musical chairs; Tuesday, Flower Power Relay Race, Wednesday, Name that 70s Jeopardy, Thursday, Dance Competition; and Friday, Final Competitions at the morning assembly).
On Friday afternoon, the Homecoming Parade will begin at 2 p.m. from Alder Boulevard and travel from the west side of town (Northwood Boulevard) along Highway 28 until entering the third driveway into the Raley's Shopping Center. The parade will re-enter Village Boulevard, passing Incline Elementary School and ending in the lower parking lot of IHS. Highway 28 will be closed to through traffic during the parade.
During the halftime of the Homecoming football game Friday night, the homecoming court will be recognized, and the King and Queen (seniors) will be crowned and biographical information will be read. Immediately following the football game is the Homecoming Dance to be held in the small gym until 11 p.m.
After the parade on Friday, the themed floats will be showcased on the IHS football field for spectators to determine the "Best Float of Homecoming 2012."
Anyone interested in supporting IHS and the class-decorated floats need only to log on to the North Lake Tahoe Bonanza website at www.tahoebonanza.com and vote in the online poll, which will be up by end of day Monday, Oct. 22.
The poll will run for two weeks after Homecoming Week, and the winning float (class) will receive $150 toward its class account for future events and purchases.

7 Reasons the World Looks Worse Than It Really Is
A billion people have been lifted out of poverty in just the last 20 years. Did you know that? Do you know how it happened? Do you sit around thinking about how wonderful that is?
I don't. I'm too angry that Comcast tried to charge me for a service call when the reason for the call was a defective Comcast modem. But I suppose that in the course of complaining about the state of the economy, politics, and shitty broadband Internet we should take a moment to notice that we're living in the glorious golden age of civilization and that life is improving for the species at a dizzying rate not even hippies could have hoped for in their smelliest dreams.
Why do we find it so hard to do that? Well ...
#7. We Are Only Happy if Other People Aren't
Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Wow, that's a glum headline. Let me put it this way: Most guys wish their wives or girlfriends were as beautiful as Jennifer Lawrence or Emily Ratajkowski (aka the brunette in the "Blurred Lines" video).
Via YouTube
But "beautiful" literally means "attractive on a level that very few women achieve." She is special because she is rare. The moment all women look like her, they would no longer be considered beautiful.
In other words, what everybody wants is to have the thing that most people don't have. The fact that most people don't have it is the reason they want it. So by nature it is impossible for everyone to have it, because the moment everyone has it, the reason for wanting it vanishes. And that paradox can be applied to absolutely everything that makes you angry about the economy, government, and society as a whole. It's all a Catch-22 that you use to torture yourself.
"Not true," you say, your other browser tabs already open to a Google Image search of Emily Ratajkowski photos. "The system sucks because there is a basic quality of life that every person should have, but lots of people don't have it due to the evil politicians, greedy bankers, and other sociopaths who have gamed the system." I understand. First, watch this video, if you can:
That wasn't related to the subject, I just wanted you to watch it. Now grab a pen and write down a list of the things you think every human should have in a good and just world. Obviously everybody should have basic safety, freedom, a roof over their head. Access to clean water, food, basic health care, transportation. Electricity. A phone. These days they need Internet access, and if they live somewhere hot they need air conditioning. Freedom to choose their own mate ... all that. Even if you've never made such a list, you still have the general idea in your head -- otherwise you wouldn't know what to be mad about.
Now ask yourself the question nobody asks: How did you decide everyone should have those things?
The answer is that your list is Emily Ratajkowski. Your idea of what everyone "should" have is nothing more than a list of what most people on earth don't have, and have never had. Then you decided that this is what everyone "should" have in a world that wasn't a corrupt shithole.
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
"I don't care, as long as I have more than Steve."
But it's completely arbitrary -- if you had been born in Nigeria, your idea of what everyone "should" have would be quite different (for instance, it would not include broadband Internet access or air conditioning). And in fact, the Nigerian's ideal standard might look a lot like what everyone around you has right now.
It's so simple, but now listen to anybody discuss some current political subject and watch them fall into this trap. Are you mad about your student loans and that college cost you more than a house? Do you make yourself even angrier when you see that college is free in Sweden? But most countries are not Sweden. Sweden has the Emily Ratajkowski of educational systems.
Via YouTube
So we pick out the best of the best and declare that this is the norm that every other place is failing to conform to due to some act of corruption or evil. We scream when someone is denied a life-saving new medical treatment because health care should be a human right. But how can something be a natural human right when A) it didn't even exist a year ago and B) it only now exists in limited, expensive quantities?
"What, so it's wrong to want things to improve? And you say there's a topless version of this video?" Not at all, and yes there is. In fact, things are improving -- people are living longer and better than at any point in human history, and the trend keeps going up. Some people will just always be ahead of the curve, and you can't automatically treat what they have as something you're being deprived of, whether we're talking about money, looks, health, or anything else.

Adequate crotch protection.
All you're doing is murdering your own happiness, sitting in a world full of astonishing feats of goodness and genius and thinking only about how we haven't gotten rid of something (inequality) that is fundamentally impossible to get rid of. But that just leads to my next point ...
#6. We Insist on Comparing Our World to an Imaginary One That Exists Only in Our Heads
You can get annoyed because your car gets worse gas mileage than your last one, but only a crazy person would get angry that their car can't instantly teleport them anywhere in the world, for free, and doesn't have its own Five Guys franchise in the back seat.
But this is what we do, every day -- we create angst for ourselves over the failure of the real world to conform to some impossible, nonsensical standard that exists only in our crazy brains. If you open a newspaper at the breakfast table (you're a dad in a 1960s sitcom, right?) and bemoan how people are greedy, politicians are corrupt, and good jobs are too scarce, that only makes sense if you can answer the question "Compared to what?" Because no real society is or ever has been without greed, corruption, and shitty, low-paying jobs.
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
All rich people keep their money in dollar-sign bags like cartoon characters.
But of course, we don't compare our country to some other country, we compare it to an imaginary perfect one that we just made up and/or gleaned from pop culture. For instance, probably the most famous fictional utopia is Star Trek. In that universe, Earth is at peace, goods are plentiful, and money is a forgotten concept, as is racism. You subconsciously look at that and say, "What's wrong with the world that we can't just get along and leave our greed and anger behind?"
But the positive societal changes that occurred in Star Trek were pulled entirely out of Gene Roddenberry's asshole -- he didn't have to work out the logistics of how, say, you keep a population happy when everyone wants to be starship captains and nobody wants to be janitors in a world that needs far more of the latter. Imaginary worlds don't have to worry about logistics -- I'm writing a book about a fictional technology that allows anyone to do kung fu or shoot lightning from their genitalia, but I didn't have to overcome the many technical challenges that in the real world are keeping lightning penises at least 20 years away.
Stockbyte/Stockbyte/Getty Images
Far away, on the deep Midwest horizon ... a hero is born.
Your imagination ignores those same contradictions -- you wonder why we can't have a world where all politicians work for the public good, smoothing over the fact that to some politicians, "the public good" means outlawing abortion, and to others it means legalizing it.
"Sure, but that doesn't mean every possible improvement to the world is a pointless flight of fancy! Is it too much to ask for a world where, say, the rich give up some of their wealth so the rest of us can have the basics?" Nope! But you'd still be angry if they did. Because ...
#5. We Focus on the Negative Byproducts of Wonderful Trends
Aidon/Digital Vision/Getty Images
This can't be argued: In the last 30 years, wages have stagnated, the middle class has been dying, good-paying jobs that anyone can get have been vanishing. You know the story. If not, go tour Detroit.
Just imagine a world where instead the rich fat cats gave up some of their wealth and, as a result, the average person's disposable income went up a thousand percent in just 30 years. It'd be like the goddamned debauched apex of the Roman Empire in this shit, everybody with a supermodel feeding them grapes in the middle of an orgy.
"You are horrible at this, Linda."
Well, guess what: That thousand-percent climb is absolutely true. In China. In India, incomes have tripled in just the last 10 years. Ah, but who cares about those, um, 2.5 billion people? You do! Weren't we just wishing for a Star Trek-style utopia where all of humanity is one? So we should be celebrating the golden wave that is lifting China and India out of poverty the same as if it happened to us, right? We're all members of the human family.
And make no mistake, the economic slump us Americans and Europeans are grinding through is, ultimately, due to the fact that the rest of the world has finally been invited to the party. Fuel gets expensive because demand goes up, because people on the other side of the world are able to own their first cars, air conditioners, and computers. Good unskilled jobs are hard to come by because people in developing countries are competing for what are to them the first good jobs of their lives.
Jupiterimages, Brand X Pictures/Brand X
Dude, you can't make that face right in front of him. At least pretend to be happy for him.
In other words, the rich man did give up his fortune to help the poor. It's just that we're all that rich man. If you have a home with a computer, a refrigerator, and air conditioning, then you're in the top, upper crust of the world's living standards. You're living the Emily Ratajkowski life -- the one everybody else wants. So does that give you a warm feeling in your heart knowing that your loss is their gain?
If not, why not?
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
You don't count, Mom. You hate everything.
Because if we put it that way, our outrage and ennui at the supposed "state of the world" kind of makes us look like oblivious, spoiled dicks, doesn't it? And if we're going down that path ...
#4. The Things We Hate and the Things We Aspire to Are the Same Things
Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Now surely this can't be argued: The world governments and economies are full of exploitative, corrupt practices that somebody could stop if they just had the balls.
For instance, you may have heard that there was recently a nationwide strike by fast food workers demanding a doubling of the minimum wage. That's a perfect example -- if the minimum wage is leaving people impoverished, why not just raise it? Because politicians won't stand up to the evil corporations, that's why! It's the same reason they won't just ban the big-money special interests and lobbyists that are corrupting democracy. In a perfect world, if oil prices are too high, the government would stand up to the greedy oil executives and force them down! The fact that they could do it and choose not to is a perfect reason to get enraged, damn it!
Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images
And I agree -- nothing curls my fist tighter than finding out that somebody is screwing the rest of us by gaming the system. Like the recent news that hospitals conspire to mark up dirt-cheap aspirin by 1,000 percent, or that banks secretly jack up the prices of commodities like aluminum. Can't somebody just put a stop to this kind of price fixing? If there is plenty of something, it's immoral to jack up the price. It's like the evil tycoon in Total Recall forcing people to pay for oxygen. Shove that asshole out onto the surface of Mars and make his eyes explode!
But, well, here's the thing ...
Unskilled workers are also plentiful. If your only skills are in customer service jobs that anyone can do with one day's training, then you, as a worker, are as plentiful as oxygen. Because this resource (unskilled, mildly motivated workers) is plentiful, the people who pay for it (employers) expect it to be cheap (low wages).
Jason Florio/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Great job with those dishes! You keep at it and you'll soon be able to afford cable television!"
Of course, if your resource is more rare (say, if you are a top-notch software developer), then they expect it to be more expensive and will pay accordingly. So the only way for people with unremarkable "plentiful as oxygen" skills to get paid significant money is, you guessed it, by engaging in the same price fixing you just hated the greedy bastards for -- either by having the government intervene and artificially set the price higher (i.e., a minimum wage) or by the sellers of the resource grouping together to set the price higher against the buyer's will (labor unions). And that practice suddenly becomes OK when it's done to our benefit.
And no, please don't bombard me with links advocating a higher minimum wage or tell me I've lost touch with the working man due to my hundreds of dollars of fart monster money. I totally want a higher minimum wage. A certain amount of price fixing is a good thing, whether you're talking about the price of labor or aluminum, and capitalism only works when everybody is strongly advocating for their own benefit. My point is that you can apply this to anything. Want to ban the big-money special interests and lobbyists from government? Fine, just know that environmental and gay rights groups are among those lobbyists who'll be banned. If we prevent the evil oil millionaires from buying political ads to advance their agenda (i.e., getting "big money" out of elections), we also have to prevent the weed legalization groups from buying theirs. Wait, you didn't mean the practice should just be banned for people who disagree with you, right?
Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
"It's a go. Destroy Oregon."
So once again, what looks like inexcusable corruption in the system turns out to be the side effect of other people having access to the same awesome stuff you do, only they're using it to advance an agenda you don't like. Trayvon Martin's killer walked because the standard for convicting someone is intentionally set high -- something you will be thankful for if you're ever accused of a crime. Which brings us to ...

The instructor was extremely knowledgable, helpful and showed both interest and excitement regarding the subject matter he presented. Thank you for this opportunity!
The exercises were interesting, and the material was presented in a way that kept my attention.
This course was very convenient for me and it made learning easy because I was able to grasp it at my own paste. The instructor made studying easy because of the notes that were prepared.
This was my first programming class and I was skeptical about taking it online. However, the teacher was very knowledgeable and made it easy to understand the course. The examples and games used were great. Thank you, Mr. Blum!
I approve of this course! Thank you for the opportunity to help me on my journey into programming.
This was a great entry-level course. I feel I received a good overview of programming, and I now feel prepared to take the next step toward choosing a language to learn.
Richard did a great job designing this course. I learned a ton in a short period and it was interesting every step of the way. I plan to take additional courses like this to further my education and I hope they're all as rewarding as this one.
The instructor presented the material quite well and was very responsive to all questions. I would certainly recommend this course as a sort of starter class.
The courses were well written and easy to follow.
I took this course with reservations - thinking an online classroom might be something less than effective - but it was actually very enjoyable and I found it to be very well structured for learning. My instructor's personal style was also very welcoming and encouraging. I am looking forward to taking more classes.

WASHINGTON – Andrew M. Cuomo, traveling to the nation's capital for the first time as governor of New York, said after a round of Capitol Hill meetings Monday that he's optimistic that the state will get the federal aid it needs to rebuild in the wake of Superstorm Sandy – but a key question about prospects for that aid remains unanswered.
Will the Republican-controlled House approve the aid in the midst of "fiscal cliff" talks, without the promise of the same amount in federal budget cuts elsewhere?
After meeting with White House officials and congressional leaders, Cuomo held a briefing for the state's congressional delegation and said: "All the meetings we had today were positive. People really understand the scope of the damage."
Perhaps most important, Cuomo said, he had a good meeting with House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, who presides over a GOP-controlled House that has been increasingly reluctant to fund disaster relief that isn't offset by budget cuts elsewhere.
"He said he wants to be helpful," Cuomo said of Boehner. "He wants to be there for New York. It's fair to say he was optimistic."
Yet when asked whether the House would pass a Sandy aid package without offsetting budget cuts – which would make it easier to put the legislation together – he said: "We did not have that specific a conversation."
More than a month after Sandy ravaged New York City, Long Island, New Jersey and other parts of the Atlantic Coast, White House officials are putting together an aid request that, Cuomo said, could be sent to Congress next week, with hopes that it will pass by the end of the year.
New York State alone is asking for $42 billion in aid, with $9 billion of that total devoted to protection from future storms. Meanwhile, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – a Republican who will make his own lobbying visit here later this week – has said storm damage in his state totals $36.8 billion.
Other governors have not yet submitted their requests, so it's unclear how big such an aid package will be. Congressional aides presume that it will be huge, though New York is not likely to get every dime it is seeking.
The state will have to justify its request, Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, said, while vowing his support for the package.
"You know there's been a cultural shift" toward questioning additional federal spending, Reed said in a conference call with reporters before Cuomo's visit.
Like Cuomo, Reed said that he was optimistic that Congress would approve a major aid package but that the timing is tight, with the holidays approaching and Congress dealing with the looming "fiscal cliff" that would bring automatic tax increases and budget cuts as of Jan. 1.
Cuomo met with White House chief of staff Jack Lew; Housing and Urban Development Secretary Shaun Donovan; top senators on the Appropriations Committee; Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.; House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif; and Boehner.
His visit here came as the Siena Research Institute released a poll showing that two-thirds of state residents who responded said Cuomo had done either an excellent or good job after the storm. About 22 percent rated his performance fair, and 7 percent considered it poor.
President Obama and New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg also got high marks in the poll, which showed that 69 percent of respondents believe that recent storms are connected to global climate change.

We had two wonderful days in Innsbruck. The apartment was well equipped. Our host Mike gave us good recommendations on selected attractions and worried affectionately about our well-being. When we arrived with all kinds of baggage at the main station in Innsbruck, Mike picked us up in his car and took us on departure day even to the airport. Once again a very big thank you for this. This has saved us a lot of smuggling and Find. We were certainly not for the last time.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Day-use fees will be waived for everyone visiting U.S. Army Corps of Engineers recreation areas in the Sacramento District and across the nation on Sept. 29 in celebration of National Public Lands Day.
On this day, fees normally charged at boat launch ramps and swimming beaches will be waived. The waiver does not apply to camping and camping-related services, or fees for specialized facilities such as group picnic shelters.
Volunteers who choose to pitch in at one of USACE Sacramento District's National Public Lands Day activities will also receive a fee-free coupon good for one day of day-use or admission fees at any participating federal agency park, forest or recreation area. The coupon is valid for one year from date of issue.
Volunteers at Sacramento District sites will take part in tree planting, trail maintenance, restoring recreation areas, trash pickup, removing invasive species and non-native plants and improving wildlife habitats.
"National Public Lands Day is a great time to celebrate the outdoors with family, meet other outdoor enthusiasts and take positive action to show some love for America's public lands," said Jonathan Friedman, senior district natural resources specialist, USACE Sacramento District.
In 2011, more than 12,000 volunteers worked approximately 50,000 hours to remove more than 1,500 tires, clear litter and debris from 1,475 miles of shoreline, build 100 miles of trails, and plant some 1,000 trees and shrubs at USACE-operated sites across the nation.
USACE has been involved with National Public Lands Day since its inception in 1994 and has consistently been one of the event's largest providers of sites and volunteers.
To locate National Public Lands Day events near you, visit the Sacramento District recreation website at www.spk.usace.army.mil/Locations/SacramentoDistrictParks.aspx or visit www.publiclandsday.org.

Babysitting: Pool Safety
What's in this article?
If the family you babysit for has a pool, your first thought is probably about all the good times you'll have splashing around with the kids. But pools — whether they're toddler-size inflatables or big in-ground affairs — can be just as big on danger as they are on fun.
Here are some tips for babysitting kids poolside.
Top Things to Know About Pools
- Never take kids in a pool without the parents' permission or if you aren't an experienced swimmer.
- When a family has a pool or hot tub, always know where the children are.
- Check any doors and gates leading to a pool on a regular basis to be sure they are locked.
- Set and follow pool rules (e.g., no running around the pool).
- Never leave kids unattended around a pool, even for a second.
It's up to parents to teach their kids proper pool behavior and keep pools on their property safe. But we all know that kids forget things when they're caught up in the joy of play. So you'll need to stay in control to prevent emergencies.
Always Supervise Kids Around Pools
Rule #1 for pool safety: Never leave kids alone around the pool. Even kids who are good swimmers can drown. Don't let yourself get distracted either. Taking your eyes off young children at the pool, even for seconds, is enough time for a drowning emergency.
Don't let kids' friends or other children swim in the pool unless you have checked with their parents first. Think about getting help if you're worried about managing more children on your own.
Indoor pools are even more risky because they can be easier to get to. Always know where kids are and check doors leading to pools to be sure they are locked.
Take your cell or a cordless phone poolside. A quick-dial feature keyed to 911 or your local emergency center will save additional seconds. But don't use your phone for other calls or to text or send pictures while you're watching kids at the pool.
When a family has a pool, "supervise" means watching kids indoors too. It's a tragic fact of life that curious toddlers can wander out of the house and get into a pool or hot tub very quickly.
Set Pool Rules
For the safety of your charges (and your own peace of mind), make pool rules and be sure kids stick to them. Even if the parents are pretty relaxed about pool safety, tell kids that it's "new rules" when you are in charge.
These rules apply to both backyard and community pools:
- No running around the pool or pushing each other.
- No diving, except from diving boards or in designated diving areas.
- Get out of the pool immediately if the weather turns bad (especially if there's lightning).
- Contact the lifeguard or another adult if there's an emergency.
- Older kids should set an example for younger siblings.
With younger kids, it's enough to set rules and enforce them every time the kid forgets. With school-age kids, explain why the rules are in place. For example: "We don't run around pools because it's easy to trip, hit your head, and fall into the pool."
More Tips for Pool Safety
- The family you sit for should have a fence with a locking gate around the pool that prevents the kids from getting to it. Keep pool gates (or doors leading to pools) locked. The safest pool gate has a self-closing gate with a childproof lock.
- Don't rely on inflatable flotation devices (like swim vests, water wings, rafts, or noodles) as a substitute for constant supervision.
- Keep walkways around a pool clear of toys, furniture, or other objects. You may set a "no running around the pool" rule, but kids will forget. It just takes one stumble to pitch them into the pool.
- After kids are finished playing in the pool for the day, remove all pool toys and put them away. Children can drown while trying to retrieve playthings left in the pool.
- Remove ladders going to above-ground pools when the pool is not in use.
Play Pools
Play pools can be as much of a risk as full-size ones: Kids can drown in as little as an inch or two of water, so supervision is just as important. Clear kiddie pools of toys when you're finished using them so little kids aren't attracted to the pool. When you finish using a small wading pool, dump out all water and turn the pool over so it can't fill with rainwater. For larger-size play pools, ask the parents what they do to keep the pool safe.
Backyard pools remain a hazard even after the swim season has passed. For example, many kids attempt to walk on top of pool covers and may get trapped underneath. Knowing the risks can help you keep pools safe year round.
Babysitting kids around pools is a big responsibility. If you don't feel comfortable supervising kids in a pool, tell the parents. They'll understand.
With the right level of supervision and caution, pools offer a chance for kids to play outside and get some exercise. The downside is, the more fun the kids have, the more alert and watchful you'll need to be. It's a lot of work, but you may be rewarded with some tired, happy kids!

I have had these pieces for some time now, the bowl has a rounded bottom, so I am assuming it had a base it sat in, when I bought it at local thrift shop I wasn't sure what I would do with it just liked it, so it sat for some time now, waiting and searching to find a base that it would fit into. The wreath I picked up the other week on the intentions of making some kind of summer wreath for the door. Well things changed when I got this idea to make a bird bath to hang from our apricot tree.
These are the pieces I started with
Pottery bowl
Grapvine wreath
I removed the silk flowers from the wreath
(I will use them somewhere in the house)
Painted the chain with Rust-Oleum Priner
This bowl was a perfet fit for this grapevine wreath, so all I had to do was place it inside the wreath and with the wieght of the water, it seems to be holding up fine.
Succulents? Ok, if your doing the eyeroll thing…I know…I know …NOT another succulent post! Wait you will see it looks so much better with them.To add the succulents to the grapvine wreath, I made little burlap soil sacks…how did I do that? I'll show you…
You will need:
Succulent stems ( let your stems dry out and callous for at least a day)
Spagnum moss
Cut 4-6X6 pieces of burlap
Place your soil mix in the center of the burlap
Cut 4 pieces of jute (approx 6 inches)
Place your succulent stem into the middle of the burlap and soil
Pull your burlap up and around your stem and tie it off with some jute
(not too tight, but enough to hold the soil and your plant)
while you are are making your burlap succulent sacks, soak your spagnum moss in a bucket of water. (making sure all spagnum is covered in water).
Figure out the placemeNt of where you want to plant your succulent sacks on the grapevine wreath
use pieces of jute to tie them down to your grapvine wreath
Place your spagnum moss around all of the succulent burlap sacks
and tucking the remainder it into the grapevine wreath.
Now… who doesn't like to soak in a bath with candle light?
I say it goes hand in hand. Don't you?
So with that thought and giving these birds this luxuary as well. Candle light it is!
I must admit our birds are very spoiled, but actually they are the one's spoiling us with all there natural beauty and their beautiful song's!

Particle physics is one of the most intriguing scientific fields, probing the nature of the very makeup of the universe itself. However, over the last half decade, due to the growing economic crisis and various items such as war funding taking precedence in government budgets, the budget to help the U.S. stay leaders in the field of particle physics has been slipping.
The U.S. currently is down to only one remaining particle physics lab, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Batavia, Illinois, associated with the University of Chicago and the lab was looking to be on the way out. It had started in February rolling furlough program that slashed already scarce employee pay by 12.5 percent and forced them to take periodic unpaid leave.
Now an anonymous donor has stepped in and donated $5M USD to the University of Chicago to try to alleviate these cuts and keep the lab open. Even with the extremely generous donation the lab is still in trouble. It plans to lay off 140 employees now, though it would have been an even larger number before the donation. The donation has allowed the lab to offer voluntary layoffs before the involuntary ones start.
Fermilab Director Piermaria Oddone spoke of the gift stating, "This is very unusual. It's not a building that carries a name. It's really a commitment to science and the nation and in particular to particle physics as a long-range important undertaking for our nation."
The good news has somewhat buoyed the sunken spirits of physicists at the lab. Says Consolato Gattuso, an engineering physicist at the lab, "This is definitely a weight that has been lifted. It gives us some light at the end of the tunnel."
Throughout the last five years, FermiLab's budget has been falling. The U.S. Congress's last minute budget for 2008 cut FermiLab funding from $372 million requested by the Department of Energy (DOE) to $320 million, $22 million less than the lab had received in 2007. The lab went into a state of crisis, forcing employees to take one week off unpaid every other month and work shorter hours. Further, 200 of the lab's 1950 employees were scheduled to be cut.
The U.S. is in a particle physics competition of sorts with Europe to find the legendary Higgs boson particle first. The cuts will allow Fermi's Tevatron Collider to stay operational, and continue the search. Researchers remain optimistic that Fermi may find the particle before Europe's CERN lab turns on its more powerful Large Hadron Collider this summer.
Legally, Fermilab cannot officially accept the gift, but it will allow the University of Chicago to contract employees to work in the lab. Over 50 employees have already left the lab, allowing it to scrape $1M USD in savings.
This is not the first time in recent years that the Congress has chronically underfunded the Department of Energy's physics research labs. In 2006, Congress gave the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York so little money that it would have to shut down its Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. James Simons, a theoretical physicist and billionaire hedge-fund guru saved the Collider with a gift of $13M USD.
The officials at Fermi are extremely grateful for a gift, but fear it's only prolonging the inevitable. Brendan Casey, a Fermilab particle physicist states, "The grain of salt is that it really does nothing to change the uncertainty with regard to the future. So there's some relief, but the underlying tension is still there."
The U.S. government may be forced to reevaluate its spending priorities as more experimental physics labs and other science programs go under and U.S. leadership in the sciences slips. This would truly be an unfortunate loss for the country, most would agree.

In terms of getting down to individual pieces of equipment, my being able to tell you how many APCs or tanks or FROG missiles or whatever, we don't have that yet. That's part of the sort of more granular assessment that we will have to do. We may never know exactly.Q: Certainly. But if UNSCOM has said that there's unaccounted inventories of missiles, artillery shells, bombs that they believe are filled with possibly chemical and biological material, did you hit any weapons depots or weapons sites where you believe there was chemical and biological material?General Zinni: None that we know of. But again, I think you point out the reason why it was important to keep UNSCOM in operation and with full access. The only way we know is through UNSCOM.
quote: Current eventsLess than a month after the movie was released, President Bill Clinton was embroiled in a sex scandal arising from his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Over the course of 1998 and early 1999, as the scandal dominated American politics, the US engaged in three military operations: * Operation Desert Fox, a three-day bombing campaign in Iraq that took place as the U.S. House of Representatives debated articles of impeachment against Clinton * Operation Infinite Reach, a pair of missile strikes against suspected terrorist targets in Sudan and Afghanistan three days after Clinton admitted in a nationally televised address that he had an inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky * Operation Allied Force, a 78-day-long NATO bombing campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia that began weeks after Clinton was acquitted in his Senate impeachment trial.In a further coincidence, the missile strikes against Sudan and Afghanistan were announced by the White House moments before the beginning of a press conference in which Lewinsky was to give details of her appearance before Congress.

It's always difficult to compare colors, as this is a category where almost every handset has its own opinion of how things should look. Thankfully, we have our reference by our side, so we managed to rank the device pretty quickly. The first place here is shared by three phones – the Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III and iPhone 5. The thing about the iPhone 5 is that it often goes for a slightly more saturated and vibrant picture, which is eye-catching but not exactly natural. The S III and Note II tend to remain more down-to-Earth in this respect, but they may also lack some saturation in certain shots. In the end, we believe these three contestants deserve to share the first spot.
The Nexus 4 is not far behind. However, LG's handset performs admirably in some scenes, but fails miserably in others. Due to these inconsistent results, we think it shouldn't share the place of the leaders. Interestingly, when taking pics outside, the Lumia 920 presents us with some extremely warm and saturated shots, which are even difficult to consider "eye-catching." The HTCs, on the other hand, have a slightly greenish appearance, which prevents them from being taken too seriously in this category.

Why do the seen results differ from the written ones? Oh, wait, Ray wrote it.
I am pleased with the effort and thoroughness, but there seems to be some strange skewing.
Also, no 808 PureView, Sony Xperia, etc?
42. abdullah (Posts: 3; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
sony is the best bro

Good Joke,
People Please read
but Look at the indoor Shot.
HTC droid Dna is the only phone which has most details and you can actually see time in the clock in center, which you cant see on any other phone's photos, Outside photos are grt on all phones.
I have Droid DNA and it takes better sharper pics than even my Nikon L310 which is an advanced point and shoot with 21x zoom.
With best screen, best cpu and gpu and BEST Camera too DROID DNA owns all phones
143. trixxx05 (Posts: 1; Member since: 13 Dec 2012)
Biased answer ;)
144. abhishek48 (Posts: 164; Member since: 19 Feb 2012)
really , DNA has highest benchmark fluid performance best camera, PIcs are sharpest, to compare camera they need to keep all phones on same tripod as comparison is useless, do not and I am sure image sense chip with f 2.0 will come on top
158. badini007 (Posts: 18; Member since: 02 Jul 2012)
I totally agree with you Abhishek...
When I combined all above images and compared them Droid DNA image was having more details than others and here is the link for the combine image >4shared.com/photo/WQyRMs04/Camera_All.html

Butthurt about Nokia much?
The only true PureView, 808, would have absolutely embarrassed the bunch in this test, but it really isn't a relevant phone in other categories.
It can't be considered a high end smartphone, not by a long shot.
As for Sony, I agree they should've put it in the comparison but I doubt it would do more than average.
The upcoming Sony Exmor RS sensor is what we should be interested in seeing..I think it will be the camera to beat it 2013
66. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3791; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
PA, as i read through, i've noticed that no one has been actually satisfied with the comparisons. On top of that, Ray's name has been abused (whether biased or not, that's completely up to him. And i won't judge him on the matter, not saying that he is or he is not biased). And these things keeps on continuing...
My suggestion is to keep one separate professional especially meant for a particular subject throughout the site. For example, Ray can review phones, Michael can review apps, John can take care of the articles...
Ray, don't take this personal, it can be you or someone else reviewing new phones and the features inside it, that's great. But when it comes to a particular subject like this one, Camera, i want to read a real pro review it. See, Ray can't be reviewing phones and at the same time compare the cameras as well, that's not right.
Different individual reviewing a phone, when it goes against other phones compared by another individual results in confusing conclusion! Which is not good. What i'm giving is just a suggestion...i just don't like having to read the crowd go wild because of the confusing conclusion.
90. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Good point, or, alternately, have each staff member put their comments in and a score, and go from there. So if we see "writer 4" giving "device C" 9 points while the other writers give it a 6, we can see any perceptional.differences.
92. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Or at least have each category have its own score. say there is 4 phones in the round up, have each category worth 4 points. 4 points to first, 3 points to second, ect. add up each category at the end for each phone and the winner is decided numerically. It still is biased by opinion like it always will be, but at least then its a clear cut winner at the end... none of this "well, this camera really did great in all the shots.. .but were gonna go ahead and throw it to the iphone for the win... because its an iphone"
119. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
That's an option, too. Car magazines have been doing it like that for decades. Biggest point of contention would be how points are scored/weighted
106. apocalypsebc (Posts: 148; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
I agree! They should get results from professional photographers opinion. And from well known Photographers with high tec cameras.
135. nnaatthhaannx2 (Posts: 820; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Well you have to note that Ray just put together the article. He didn't take (all) of the pictures. Check out the videos. "Hey guys Joooohn V..."
Just something to note.
91. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Yes, the 808 would have put the others to shame for most of the contests (to the point that it could have been the baseline instead of the P&S), but calling it the "only true PureView" is silly. It is Nokia's name, they can apply it to what they want, just as apple will put "retina" and "I" on darn near anything they can, or Samsung naming everything but their non-smartphones Galaxy, even though initially that was reserved for their best smartphone, etc.
And no, I am not "butthurt"; the iPhail uses Sony optics which are right up there with Nokia in terms of smartphone camera quality (though Nokia excels on the software and pushing-envelope front) but the sudden juxtaposition of rankings and results from prior tests and reviews is mildly alarming, to whit, the Lumia bests the iPhail4Stretch on everything except still detail capture, which is likely resolvable with a software update. Mix these results with those in the Lumia 920 vs iPhail4Stretch and the ranking order should be switched.
That said, I am disappointed that HTC did so relatively poorly. For a while they had among the best smartphone cameras you could get outside of a Nokia N8.
107. apocalypsebc (Posts: 148; Member since: 07 Dec 2010)
I agree as well. Did you see how the Lumia 920 wasn't even mention in the video test and by looking at the video it out shined the rest. Its great being able to go to other websites and get true infomation all around. Video/Camera!
116. Bilpocalypse (Posts: 301; Member since: 13 Oct 2012)
That's the OIS at work. I used it at a football game the other day. The guy in front of me used a galaxy at the same time. He was blown away by the results. I do hope that the software fix for the still shots gets here soon though. I would like to see the 920 find its way to the top of the list. All in all, these phones all have pretty good cameras.
149. cdgoin (Posts: 533; Member since: 28 Jul 2010)
I Noticed the "Cropped" shots of the comparison, do NOT match the actual shots in the slideshow above. NO one there would adjust the pictures to make thier point..? Nah..
BTW zoom the actual photos and the iPhone is weaker than the Droids or Windows phones.

no sony devices ? :(

These devices are a mere comparison of flagship phones that has usually, 8 megapixel sensors.
here's the real ranking of camera on smartphones to day by phone arena itself.
101. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
It isnt just megapixels, otherwise a Titan 2 would win against anything short of an 808 PureView
129. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
hey, i think you're lost. I was not saying that it's a comparison in terms of pixel. I was just stating the fact that all the phones in this comparison are around 8MP modules.

oh common, you're talking about Sony Ericsson phone, and we are talking about a phone after Sony and Ericsson broke up.
3. amansingal14 (Posts: 309; Member since: 08 Sep 2012)
Either your camera is bad, or you have been paid well, 'coz with OIS tech, there is no way Nokia 920 lags behind in video, and further more, it has the best colour reproduction. I have used and tested all of the camera phones, and also 808 pureview, and N8. To tell you the truth, I have received professional training on a Sony Alpha DSLR-290Y, and Lumia's shots stood nearby.
PS - Also it could be that the person capturing the snaps was not trained or even good at capturing photos, as in the category of Colour Reproduction, Night Shots, and Video recording, Lumia is by far the best device to be tested.
6. ama3654 (Posts: 295; Member since: 27 Nov 2012)
Don't be a fanboy and accept facts, this is a major tech site, im sure they have properly trained professionals doing the job fro them and reviewing, if Nokia Lumia loses out is not the end of the world!
12. amansingal14 (Posts: 309; Member since: 08 Sep 2012)
What I am saying here is that a panasonic digital camera can be wrong, but a canon/nikon/sony DSLR can't be.
15. doubler86 (Posts: 320; Member since: 26 Jan 2011)
Umm as a pro photographer I'd pick a Panasonic over a Sony any day. Sony Alpha's weren't even usable till they bought out Minolta. Canon would be the best to compare it to, followed by Nikon.
However I do understand Jon V for you have to use what you've got.
16. lolol (Posts: 64; Member since: 14 Nov 2012)
yeah, like panasonic has that mucha good cameras :O is it really that hard for them to find a sony, nikon or a canon to do these things :O
105. doubler86 (Posts: 320; Member since: 26 Jan 2011)
No it's not you're right, you should be the one to find it for them since it's so easy
10. amansingal14 (Posts: 309; Member since: 08 Sep 2012)
Also I found that on every page in the website, a tag stating - "Learn More about Verizon pre-owned phones (sponsored)", while the 920 is primarily an at&t offering. The iPhone, S3, and Note II, are all available for on-contract by Verizon. This seems suspicious.
PS - Droid DNA was not mentioned as any Phonearena can't so easily fool people, or they will not be left credible anymore.

When it come to lumia then only low light and night shots?... cmon man... Are these the only times u r gonna take a photo? Nokia 808 is good, lumia 920? Nokia concentrated too much on low light and stabilization.. well many people doesnt take photos only in the evening or at night and most of us doesnt shake our hands while doing so.. Nokia should have known better..
120. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Look through Facebook, flikr, any other photo sharing site outside of professional. Do you realize what you tend to see? Improperly lit shots, shots with dim ambiance that are less than useful and unmemorable because the users are using the only camera they have convenient, the one on their phones. Nokia is showing these users there is a much better option and better results available from an even better device than what they use. In short, they DO know better. You just don't get it.

I agree with -box-. Most pics I take are indoors: parties, museums, my dog playing inside, etc. Less often of outdoor shots. So, I would go for the Lumina 920. (I had owned the legendary Fuji F30, the best low-light P&S camera ever made, but it wasn't practical as it was slow and heavy.)

Image stabilization is important, especially if your viewing on your hdtv. The 920 sample looked almost like it was mounted on a tripod when panning. I can see some serious pro videos taken on this one.
On the videos where I notice the 920 has a weakness is on recording audio in a noisy environment. On a quiet scene, the 920 has the best sound recording and the announcer's voice sounded nice and full, where on all the others, it sounded tinny. But on a noisy scene, everything sounded muffled and digitized as it tried to suppress the background noise.

A290 seriously ? it is considered as entry level DSLR, still on CCD sensor and you're boasting about it ? let's say the colour reproduction is as good as 60D then i'll believe you

if you see what I have written, I got trained on it, and am currently using Canon EOS 7D.

It's really crazy that PA awards the 808 best innovation in a phone for its camera.. And here its not even considered.. Plain stupid.. Scared that it'll beat even your Panasonic.!

The PureView 808 is in a league of its own, they really didn't want to make the devices in this comparison look bad by throwing in the 808.

Guess you are right, why not keep the little guys happy for a while :)

Well yeah, they are considering flagships but they took 2 from HTC and sammy so why not put the 808 too? :/ .. Btw that award went to Pureview as a whole not only to 808

I think they wanted to compare only top selling phones ;-)

It doesnt matter for a camera test if its top selling or not, I know that only people who love photography on their phones buy it, because its sold only unlocked for a really high price, :P

Peer-to-Peer in Mexico
The Spanish translation of NAMI's Peer-to-Peer Recovery Education Course is underway.
by Kathryn McNulty
On September 22, 2004, I arrived--with my husband, Jim--in Monterrey, Mexico. We cleared customs and immigration, and were met by a member of Ingenium. Ingenium is one of NAMI's Multicultural and International partner organizations in Mexico.
The translation work has begun, with the group meeting in person and via email. Estimates vary as to how long it will take to complete the Spanish translation of Peer-to-Peer. Implementation plans will be devised, following the completion of the translation.
