RE:Waterproof Backpack GOOD DEAL!
What a steal!
I own the SEALINE Boundary dri-packs in blue...
[img]http://www.flyfishingforum.com/products/dri-packs/boundary.jpg" border="0">
and in clear...
<img src="http://www.flyfishingforum.com/products/dri-packs/clear.jpg[/img]
These are 100% waterproof when the tops are sealed up so you can bring electronics along in case you want to videotape some action, etc.
The colors are key - I bought the clear for the flats but the greenhouse effect causes extreme condensation and heating of items. The dark blue is better but my ideal color would be light sky blue / greyish or sand. I also started with the real big one them bought smaller. The waist belt makes all the difference. I still have not found the perfect dripack. Maybe we need to talk to sealine as a consumer advocate group.
You got a killer deal - I could have bought a bunch of these for the cost of my experimentation thus far.
Waterproof Backpack GOOD DEAL!
I bought this
for 10 dollars at my local MVP sports on Rte 1 South in Saugus.
I remember Juro talking about one and this may be right for you. It is yellow as you can see, but has a nice clear window down at the bottom so you can see in. It also has a mesh pouch at the top under the flap. Great for my canoe this summer.

More challenging and life-consuming than working in big companies ... just something that I wanted to experience. In continuance with my earlier studies, its time for me to get down to something substantial. Want to read up SMP/NUMA even thought I am child in it now.

Synthesis report ICSU-UNESCO Regional Science and Technology workshops
The report summarizes the findings of the five Rio+20 regional science and technology workshops for Asia Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, the Arab States, and Europe, which were organised in 2011 by ICSU and UNESCO for Rio+20.
The objective of the Conference is to secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assess the progress to date and the remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development, and address new and emerging challenges.
ICSU represents the international scientific community in this process, and is organising a range of activities for Rio+20 like:
- Participation in official global and regional intergovernmental preparatory meetings.
- Organisation of regional science and technology workshops
- Organisation of a Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development at Rio+20
- Mobilising ICSU National and Union Members
The Rio+20 conference should decide to launch a process to develop a new contract between science and society to deliver the knowledge necessary for a sustainable future.

Hi all,
I am looking for a bit of advice and possibly some guidance. I programmed in C++ for a good three years. I also used SFML and OpenGL for 1 of the 3 years. I haven't programmed in it in about 6 months though because I have been so concentrated on trying to learn some web programming. Now what I did was I went on Code Academy, finished the Web fundamentals, Jquery, and Javascript courses.
I am at a point where I feel I have a grasp on how to program for the web, but no clue really how develop for the web. I can open a text editor, include the needed documents, and a bow grow when clicked, but where do I learn how to make an actual good looking website? Code Academy taught me how to do some neat things with my code, but never how to make a nice, full fledged website.
So I am at the point where I want to try making a small 3D sandbox game and a nice website to encase it. I know this will require WebGL, server side programming, maybe a few helper libraries, and website designing knowledge. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of where to learn those skills.
My Goal: 3D Web Sandbox Game
I have learned thoroughly:
I have sort of learned:
I want to learn:
Node.js or PHP? (Some server side language)
General Web design (I kinda know CSS but that doesn't mean I know how to make stuff look nice)
Three.js? (I have heard of this, not sure if I should learn it or WebGL, or both)
Any advice, links to great tutorials, or guidance on completing my goals would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Memory Issue-should I Reformat My Hard Drive?
Posted 06 January 2011 - 09:30 PM
I have run cleaners and scanners and everything I can think of.
Any thoughts?
So, should I reformat it? (everything is backed up) And if so, how?
I'm hoping it's something simple and my amazing SG friends will have a prompt solution!! (no pressure)
Thanks so much!
Posted 06 January 2011 - 09:42 PM
Are you getting any messages when you attempt to save things that indicates your hard drive is full or memory is low, or are your programs crashing in mid-use?
The other possibility is that you have a corrupted space on your hard drive that defrag cannot defrag, which can limit the amount of hard drive space available to you. Are you able to defrag successfully?
Posted 06 January 2011 - 09:52 PM
first, it is a desk top. (sorry, I was confusing!)
It is currently running a disk check, so when it is finished I will get those numbers for you. It's a 48% after an hour so it will be a while, lol) At that time, I will run a defrag to double check, but I don't remember any errors. (I've tried so many things, I don't remember)

WinDirStat is a terrific free/shareware utility that I recommend you find and download. It searches your entire drive, and organizes a listing from "most space used" to least. It also produces a visual map of that space. You can click on a chunk in the image to see what it is, too. I find it VERY helpful in identify what to clean up. One thing to be aware of is that you can't delete everything "extra" at once. Once you've deleted 2-3 GB, stop and empty the Recycle bin, and then continue, gradually increasing the amount you delete. You can leave WinDirStat up, and it can re-assess regularly.
Here's a screen shot of how the results look:
DuplicateFileFinder is also helpful, but more of a chore to work with at the outset. I'd start with WinDirStat. Hope this helps!
p.s. Your Recovery disk is fine; I recommend you DON'T touch it at the moment.

You might want to call Dell and have them take a look at the problem. I would certainly hold off on reformatting your hard drive.

I did like Doc Samson and his rejecting Better and i also agree, get a new shirt, dammit!! I did LOVE the last page of 66 showing Doc Samson w/ Betty in his arms thinking of his lost wife and child and then Bruce w/ Nadia, thinking of walking along the beach with Betty. Truely amazing.

The term "think tank" looks as if it signifies something impressive. But looks can be deceiving. Consider this example:
A mad scientist removes the brain from the corpse of a recently deceased mass murderer and preserves the organ in what looks suspiciously like the container his kids had been using to raise guppies. The addition of a few electrodes, a saline drip, and some ominous music (could somebody please get the bubbling mermaid figurine out of there), and presto, you've converted a fish tank into a think tank.
The guppies, meanwhile, have mysteriously ended up in the "septic tank," which also bears some resemblance to a think tank — the kind that thought up the Dirigo Health program.
This state has many think tanks, operating in the sort of splendid isolation that can only be achieved by complete disconnection from reality.
There's the conservative Maine Heritage Policy Center (motto: That's A Bad Idea You Just Had. So Is That. And That One, Too), author of such thoughtful schemes as solving the health-care crisis by letting insurance companies do whatever the hell they want to do.
There's also the liberal Maine Center for Economic Policy (motto: To Each According To Their Needs, From Each According To How Much We Can Squeeze Out Of Their Bourgeois Wallets), a strong advocate of raising taxes on the wealthy, a it defines as anybody with a job.
And now, there's Envision Maine. Which is more like a think tanklet, because it only contains one guppy. His name is Alan Caron, and he's an experienced tankoid. Caron used to be the executive director of a think tank called GrowSmart Maine, which was opposed to sprawl, which is the kind of development we had before the recession made development extinct. Four years ago, GrowSmart commissioned another think tank, the Brookings Institution, to produce a report on how to prepare the state's economy for an uncertain future. It was called "Raising Guppies For Fun And Profit."
Oops, sorry, wrong report. That one is the booklet the Maine Department of Health and Human Services gives to people it's trying to get off welfare.
The Brookings study was actually called "Charting Maine's Future: An Action Plan For Promoting Sustainable Prosperity And Quality Places." It was filled with ideas, some of them good — cut taxes and government spending — some of them dumb — create a $200 million fund to support "innovation" — and some of them incomprehensible — "invest in Maine's heart and soul."
Heart? Soul? Bah! Invest in brains, Igor!
There was a great deal of discussion among politicians and academics about how best to implement the Brookings suggestions. But not much happened, because the economy tanked (although not in a think-tank kind of way). After that, people had more pressing concerns, such as food, shelter, and money to fill up the gas tank.
Now, however, the recession is allegedly easing its grip, and we can once again allow ourselves the luxury of pretending we're just a think-tank report away from fixing everything that's wrong. So, GrowSmart has hired Caron's Envision Maine to write a new study, which he described to the Kennebec Journal as being "for citizen activists who know we're in trouble and want to do something about it."
I thought we had the Tea Party for that.

I'll probably p/u the 1st weekend Greedo...I have the others.
"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
I am in the same boat as you guys. I have a complete collection of the Hallmark ornaments and have supported this line since they first released the Falcon in '96. This is very frustrating to say the least that after 13 years, I will probably no longer be able to say I have every Hallmark ornament produced. That said if anyone is going and would be willing to help me out, please PM me. I am going to write a letter to Hallmark about this, as I am extremely disappointed, even if these are re-paints.
I sent'em a pretty large rant of an email, and got a form email that only vaguely related as a reply. I may try hand-writing it out and mailing it in, but I doubt it'd get any significant recognition.
"Hokey packaging and ancient gimmicks are no match for good detail on your figure, kid."
"I am a Klingot from Oklahoma in human boy form."
"We came, we saw, we conquered... We, woke up!"
Best comment would be if they don't sell out there, or sell very few of them at all.
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
There is a secondary source online for Hallmark ornaments once the season or year is over. I've picked up some old SW for myself there. I believe it's called Hooked on Hallmark.com. They may be a good chance after the show.

"In my experience there's no such thing as luck."
I've been collecting them since the beginning as well, but not getting the Clones doesn't bug me all that much. They're just repaints of the 501st Clone we got last year (or was it two years ago). I'll be more disappointed if I can't nab a Greedo. If they get them in like they did the Royal Guards, he should be available at least for the first weekend. If it's anything like the 6 per-store-only issue with the Tusken Raiders, then it could be a problem.
"I take orders from just one person - ME!"
I wasn't aware of them until 1999 (college, had important things like learnin' to do). But since than I've usually gotten the light/sound ship/vehicle and OT characters with a few prequal exceptions. So for me re-releases aren't that big a deal, I want them to get rid of the "bases" that things like the AT-AT, ESB Vader are on and go with more Anakin's Starfighter way with the batteries in the ornament proper.
Star Wars & GI Joe Customs
HAVES: HK-50 Head, Capt Typho & GI Joe fodder available still
Wants:L8-L9 Head, YVH-1 Complete (as possible),R7-T1 Complete (as possible),R7-Z0 Complete (as possible)
I have a friend going to Comic Con, so I'm sending a little $$$ with hopes that I can get a set. If it doesn't work out, I can live.
I haven't had a problem in getting the preview-exclusive ornaments in July. Some stores have 'em behind the counter and others have them on the shelves with the other ornaments. I go early and get mine, though.
I can live without the figurines, but I would be major upset if there was an exclusive ship.
I went down to a Hallmark store and picked me up a preview catalog the other day.

The Reviews are in for Apple's "New iPad"
Brandon Hill

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple has another solid hit with the "New iPad"
Apple's "New iPad" was
announced last week to much fanfare in San Francisco
. As is usually the case with new iPad or iPhone releases,
launch day pre-orders sold out quickly
and those who were late to get their orders in could end up waiting for a few weeks to get their hands on one.
As a refresher, an Apple A5X processor that has seen its onboard RAM double from 512MB to 1GB powers the new iPad. The A5X is also blessed with a quad-core GPU which boosts gaming performance and helps feed the new iPad's biggest new feature: a 2048 x 1536 resolution Retina display. Other niceties include a 5MP rear-facing camera, and optional LTE connectivity.
On the negative side, the weight and thickness of the iPad has grown to accommodate a new 42.5 watt-hour battery (the iPad 2 had a 25 watt-hour battery). In addition, Apple is once again being stingy with storage capacities on the iPad. Even though app sizes are
doubling or even tripling in some cases
due to Retina support, Apple is holding firm with 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB capacities -- the same lineup as when the first generation iPad launched in 2010.
Tonight, however, we're getting our first look at what the new iPad can do courtesy of a flood of reviews. Here are some select excerpts from the reviews that are currently available:
Joshua Topolsky of
The Verge
gives his thoughts on the iPad 3's gorgeous new Retina display:
Yes, this display is outrageous. It's stunning. It's incredible. I'm not being hyperbolic or exaggerative when I say it is easily the most beautiful computer display I have ever looked at…
You literally can't see pixels on the iPad's display when you hold it at a regular distance, and even up close you have to really inspect the thing to see dots. For rendered text or high resolution images, it just looks otherworldly; like a glowing piece of paper.

Walt Mossberg of
fame touched on the battery life of the new iPad. While it's not quite the power-sipper as its predecessor, it still posts some impressive numbers.
Apple claims up to 10 hours of battery life between charges, and up to nine hours if you are relying strictly on cellular connectivity. In my standard battery test, where I play videos back to back with both cellular and Wi-Fi on, and the screen at 75% brightness, the new iPad logged 9 hours and 58 minutes, compared with 10 hours and 9 minutes for the iPad 2. Other tablets died hours sooner in the same test. In more normal use, the new iPad lasted more than a full day, though not as long as the iPad 2 did.
The original iPad didn't have any cameras at all, while the iPad 2 came with a standard front-facing camera for FaceTime and an incredibly subpar rear-facing camera for pictures and 720p video. The new iPad can now features a 5MP camera and bumps video recording up to 1080p. Vincent Nguyen of
gives his thoughts on the new optics:
Apple says it has borrowed the camera technology and optics from the iPhone 4S for the new iPad, though still the 5-megapixel images the tablet is capable of do lag behind the 8-megapixel examples from the smartphone. There's more visible noise and chromatic aberrations at full zoom, though the quality is far, far better than any stills the iPad 2 can achieve. You also get face recognition for up to ten people per frame, automatically adjusting focus and exposure, but the camera app UI itself is no more complex than before.
While the actual CPU hasn't improved much over the iPad 2, the integrated GPU has definitely been turbocharged, as witnessed by Jason Snell of
That power comes from the X factor in the A5X processor—a new quad-core graphics engine. And sure enough, the third-generation iPad blows away every other iOS device in terms of graphics performance. In our tests using the GLBench 3D graphics testing app, the third-generation iPad could draw a complex 3D scene at the full frame rate of its display, 60 frames per second, without breaking a sweat. And in GLBench offscreen tests, which aren't constrained by the display's frame rate, the third-generation iPad had a frame rate 1.6 times that of the iPad 2 (and 13 times that of the original iPad).
[Source: MacWorld]
Overall, the new iPad seems to be another solid entry into the tablet field for Apple. It holds the line on CPU performance and battery life (at the expense of device thickness and weight) while offering an impressive Retina display, optional LTE, and a tremendous boost in graphics performance. Pricing remains the same as previous iPad model ($499/$599/$699 for Wi-Fi; add $130 for LTE models), but Apple still doesn't have the guts to give users an increase in storage capacities.
To sum things up, Joshua Topolsky offers these words of advice:
Let's be clear: the new iPad is in a class by itself, just as its predecessor was. As the latest product in a lineage of devices that defined this category, the iPad continues to stand head and shoulders above the competition. With the addition of the Retina display, LTE, more memory, and a more powerful CPU, Apple has absolutely held onto the iPad's market position as the dominant player and product to beat.
"I modded down, down, down, and the flames went higher." -- Sven Olsen

I stopped by the recently opening bicycle shelter at the St. Clair West TTC Station to take a few photos and try out the racks.
Located on the south side of St. Clair West and beside an station access point, this shelter is designed for daily use and offers some protection from the elements while your bicycle awaits your return.
I'm not sure what these racks are called, so I'll call them "offset cradle" racks. Offset because one bicycle is lifted higher than the other to allow for handlebar clearance as seen above.
The cradle for your bicycle's wheel was wide enough for my slightly fatter than normal 700c wheels. Big knobby mountain bike tires, or even balloon tires may have a tight squeeze in these racks. Arches attached to the cradles allow you to lock both your wheel and frame to the racks.
More of these bike shelters are expected to arrive at TTC stations throughout the rest of the year. Remember, these are for short-term parking only which is why they are only partially sheltered. Bicycles left for 48 hours may be removed.
Have you been using the new bike shelter at the St. Clair West subway station? What do you think of this "offset cradle" style rack (and do you know what they are actually called)?

Family: Pomacanthidae, Angelfishes view all from this family
Description The queen angelfish (Holacanthus ciliaris) is an angelfish commonly found near reefs in the warmer sections of the western Atlantic Ocean.
The adult queen angelfish overall body color can be described as blue to bluegreen with yellow rims on its scales. Their pectoral fins and ventral fins are also yellow but their lips and the edges of their dorsal fins and anal fins are dark blue.

You've seen Nightmare Before Christmas. You've probably seen Corpse Bride and James and the Giant Peach. If you're a Wes Anderson fan, you've most likely seen The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Neil Gaiman fan? You've seen Coraline. And of course you've seen Wallace and Gromit. They're all terrific films, and they're all enchanting examples of stop-motion animation. I'm a big fan of stop-motion; it's a nice change of pace from all the CG animation that's become the norm in the film industry these days. But you know what? There's LOADS of stop-motion animation out there, and there's a good chance you haven't seen most of it. Oh, and a lot of it is available on Netflix, so it's pretty easy to get a hold of. So why not do yourself a favor and introduce yourself to something new? You'll thank yourself for it. I promise. More

Using the project plan that was developed in the Plan phase, your team should have enough information to develop a detailed design for each site and the entire network. The network design should contain, at a minimum:
•Routing and switching component connectivity
•WAN connectivity intra- and inter-sites
•Software applications and configurations for routers and switches
•Power and environment
•Redundancy and failover
•Disaster recovery
For each site, in addition to the above, your design should include telephone circuitry, equipment racks with cabinet locations, and layouts. Each site should have a design that encompasses your network call processing, conferencing, and messaging requirements. The design should be scalable for future growth.

From our local paper, about the recent transit worker strike in Philadelphia:Even the unions want to be insulated from any cost increases that may result from the health care insurance overhaul.Rendell and Brady had announced a tentative agreement late Friday, but it fell apart Saturday over the union's call ... for assurance that members would not be affected if the company's costs increased with possible passage of a national health reform plan.

read ub's post and tell me this thread is not digging up the past. he cites "the Carter years", DOES HE NOT?
please cite ONE post you have made concerning the democratic party or the people you paint with the broad brush "liberal" which was not negative.-Paul
there's no good reason to fatten up a retriever.
Gosh Paul, I would have thought you would have grasped the salient point, rather than to sink back into the wallowing of your fellow Obama followers.
I realize you and Iowa Keith are indebted to your unions for keeping you employed over the years, but I always thought it carried some intelligence with those beliefs, not falling on the sword for for an administration that would as soon send you a dead fish as award you with a watch at retirement.
If you missed the salient point about the Carter administration originating that do-nothing bureaucracy that still exists, despite never achieving one damned iota towards it's proposed goal...and how THAT might relate to the various bills being proposed by the present administration and congress, then I apologize for not spelling it out. Good grief, if it sailed over your head, how could it possibly have been understood by Roger?
I'll try to be more eplicit next time.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
first, i am not indebted to my Union. i have enjoyed 34 years of continuous employment because i work for a company that is aggressive in seeking out new contracts and because we deliver our product on time and under budget. it is a product that is in great demand and is probably the reason you are not attempting to insult me in Russian right now.i work hard and get exemplary performance reviews annually. i have done well and look forward to finishing up my career there.
i thank you for your concern for my lack of intelligence, ability to grasp the written word and the ability to understand when someone is calling me an idiot. please know that i consider my skills to be sufficient in this regard and that i share the same concerns for you.
and by the way, i think that the fact you brought up the Carter administration originating the DOE without mentioning all the others since that have perpetuated and, indeed, added layer upon layer of bureaucracy to it is quite typical of your posts.
everything you rail against did not happen over the past 10 months. it took decades to come to fruition under many different administrations. you can ignore that fact if you wish, but that is plain for all to see.
in case my point has gone over YOUR head, i am not a fool, i don't like being called one, and won't put up with it.-Paul

Works extremely fast if u come in contact with a lot of qr codes it's worth the price
The share contact option is not working for me. It just shows two options, not "QRCode". I have even went ahead and disabled many jailbreak apps and tweaks that could possibly have been interfering. Please advise.
Love this tweak shame it doesn't support barcodes as well that would be awesome
Hi Evan-
Just bought NativeQR. Very cool- but I have identified a couple strange problems if using it from the Lockscreen.
1) Activator issue. All my Activator Actions stop working after scanning a QR code with NativeQR. But this only occurs if I invoke the Camera app from the Lockscreen icon and tap Open to view the linked page. The problem does not occur if I use the Camera app from the home screen. This is 100% duplicatable for me. I have to reboot my iPhone 4S to get my Activator Actions working again. And they continue to work fine until I again use NativeQR directly from the Lockscreen.
2) Springboard crash. Again- this only occurs if I invoke the Camera from the Lockscreen. But this time, if I choose Cancel, rather than Open for the linked page, the Springboard crashes. This happens maybe 50% of the time.
I'm running iOS 6.1.2 on iPhone 4S. Let me know what more info I can provide.
QR codes are great, but as Google Goggles recognizes them for free I'm not sure this app is worth me paying for, nice but not something I'd pay for as there is a free alternative that works for me.
I like to scan QR Code using iphone.
The trend with apple as been moving away from "native" or built-in apps. The iPhone for example, has built-in stock and weather apps, but the iPad does not. More and more, Apple is offering its apps as optional add-ons via the app store, such as iMovie.
That being said, if QR code support came, it would be as a feature within Safari. The added HDR to the camera app, so there is a precedent.
The problem is that unlike HDR, QR code support isn't something that Apple did first, so they are unlikely to invest or market it unless it becomes 10x more prevalent than it is today.

|Bonefish, Tarpon, and other Obsessions Turquoise water, silver demons on the fly
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Good point, Adrian. I automatically assume everyone knows to fill up their reel with backing to the point where the flyline just fits on, but that's a broad assumption.
I would go along with all of the above for 99% of the fish you likely to encounter 200 yards will be plenty.
Just remember that if you spend enough time on the flats you will one day encounter that 1% fish of a lifetime. Maybe a 50lb Permit that, on that particular day, cosmic forces have decreed with be the day it meets YOUR fly and says "yes".
I carry as much backing on the largest large-arbor reel that will comfortably fit on my 9wt. That way I know I will be ready for Mr. "One Percent" should our paths ever cross
200 yards should be plenty. I've never lost a fish because of backing, so the composition of the line probably doesn't make that much difference, IMHO.
Marshall Cutchin
Midcurrent Weblog
A few of us "got into it" regarding backing last month (i.e. gel-spun vs. small-diameter dacron); regardless of what you choose, for an 8-wt. outfit I try to have around 200-yds. of 30-lb. backing when stalking on the flats. Granted, I've never hooked into anything that peeled off more than about 100-yds. of backing, but it's nice to know that if I need it, it's on the reel. Then again, the largest fish I've hooked on an 8-wt. was probably no more than 6-lbs.
As an aside, one thing I try and do and is purchase two colors of backing, and load half the backing capacity of each onto the spool; for example, on a spool that held 200-yds. of backing, I'd load 100-yds. of chartruese, yellow, or orange backing first, then load 100-yds. of white backing on top of that, followed by the fly line. In this manner, I know when to start worrying if the fish gets deep into the first layer of backing. FWIW...
|Flyfishing Finn
200 yds should be enough, unless you hook a +10lb bone.
For 2-4 pounders 100 yds is usually enough.
A large arbor reel makes retrieving that backing easier. Or you can fill a big standard reel first with dacron and put some gelspun on top so that your rate of retrieval stays adequate even with 150-200 yds out. The weight of the reel is not so important in bonefishing as you're not casting a lot.
I've only used Orvis and Lee Wulff gelspun and found both ok.
How much backing for bonefish?
Anybody have any comments concerning how much backing I should have for bonefish?
Clearly, the answer is "as much as you fit on the reel," so I guess I'm looking for a minimum safe amount.
Here are some facts that might help:
8wt rod, tip-flex, 8 or 11 lbs tippet
most fish in the 2-4 lbs range, regularly in the 5-7 lbs range and a few 8+lbs.
Also, I've heard much talk of the gelspun backing. Can someone save me the hassle of searching the internet for hours and recommend a brand for me...Orvis, SA, Cortland, any others?
Many thanks!

Did you know?
Canadian Frederick Banting is considered as the main discoverer of insulin: he was the one who had the idea of tying a ligature round the pancreatic canals in order to provoke diabetes. The date of his birthday was chosen to mark World Diabetes Day..
Another Canadian, Leonard Thompson was the first person to receive an injection of insulin as a treatment for diabetes. He received his first injection in Toronto, on 11 January 1922, at 14 years of age. Thompson showed signs of improved health and went on to live 13 more years taking doses of insulin until he died of pneumonia, aged 27.

text: blog postsRobert Bruno, expert on labor and employment relationsSep 11, 2012 3:18 pmEducationLocalPoliticalShare on FacebookTweetEmailImagesRobert Bruno is a professor of labor and employment relations at the Urbana campus of the University of Illinois. In an interview with News Bureau business and law editor Phil Ciciora, Bruno, also the director of the Labor Education Program in Chicago, discusses the Chicago Public Schools teachers strike. How long do you think the strike will last? There are indications that negotiations are moving along, but there are still some hard and fast differences between both sides. So I think we're looking at a week, tops. The teachers have the capacity to sustain this level of mobilization, which would suggest that they could hold out longer than one week, but I don't think that will happen. The strike of 1987 lasted 17 days, but I don't think this one will go on for nearly as long. If the strike goes beyond a week, will teachers start to lose the tacit support of parents, who seem to be on their side at the moment? After a week, I think parents will start to wonder when this thing will get done, and are the teachers being reasonable. At what point do you just have to come together and compromise? But in these first few days, I think there is broad and deep support for the teachers from parents. Yes, the pressure is on the teachers to get this done quickly, before they lose public opinion, but Mayor (Rahm) Emanuel doesn't stand to gain much by slow-walking the negotiations. The mayor is not going to get people back to work or get a settlement that's going to look like his initial proposal. He's not going to get a better deal three weeks from now than what is on the table right now. Could this strike have been avoided? As required by law, there was a fact-finder's report that was issued before the strike for the purposes of arbitration, where both sides submitted competing salary proposals. In that report, the fact finder said, essentially, if you want teachers to work a longer school day, you're going to have to pay them more. The report also suggested that they drop merit pay. Well, the Chicago Public Schools system absolutely vilified the findings of the report. Ironically, the financial settlement that is on the table right now looks a lot like what's in the fact-finder's report. In terms of money, that report has become the framework for negotiations, with both parties defaulting back to those numbers, which have been out there from the beginning. But the teachers are not out in the street because of pay, and they've said that from day one. On teacher evaluations, both sides understand that the old system isn't serving anybody's interests, and a new system has to be designed. The only difference is that the teachers want to have a more holistic process that promotes good teaching and helps them develop their craft, and won't be used against them as a tool to punish them, or artificially rank them. So it's a debate about what the protocols will be, and how much weight given to certain variables. Other school systems have used similar methods of evaluation, so there's language out there that has worked. There's going to be a lot of school closings, and teachers feel incredibly insecure, so they're also debating what the recall process is going to be like, and what kind of priority is going to be given to a laid-off teacher. At the end of the day, reason will prevail and they will come up with some protocols that allow principals to have some choice but at the same time give priority to qualified teachers. There are other issues, but the big ones are teacher evaluation and job security. These are tough items, to be sure, but they're the types of issues that collective bargaining sorts out really well. The outlines of a deal are certainly there. This process of collective bargaining needs to be respected and embraced. Certainly, there were issues in this process that made things hard, but things like fact-finding, mediation and negotiation are all part of this sometimes-messy machinery that can help parties get to a place where they can function constructively. Collective bargaining solves problems in a very dynamic, creative way, and the public needs to understand that. stats1,222 Views additional actions

Shares of Dish Network (DISH) are down 24 cents, or 0.8%, at $30.42 after the company this morning reported Q2 revenue and earnings per share below analysts' estimates, as related by The Wall Street Journal's Shalini Ramachandran and Saabira Chaudhuri.
However, the more interesting matter to some analysts is a detail mentioned in the formal 10-Q published today that says the company had "strategic and financial debt and equity investments of public companies with a fair value of $737 million" and that " In addition, a significant portion of the value of these investments is concentrated in the debt securities of a single issuer."
Wells Fargo's Jennifer Fritzsche, who follows wireless network operator Clearwire (CLWR) and rates its shares Outperform, this afternoon reflects on the speculation that the "single issuer" is in fact Clearwire.
Fritzsche notes that Dish CEO Charlie Ergen has refused to give the name of the issuer. She writes that she is trying to find out from Clearwire, but expects the company will not say.
In the meantime, she offers,
While we do not actively follow DISH and cannot comment on strategy here, we have long written about the value of the higher band spectrum. With T's [AT&T (T)] announcement to acquire NextWave last week, we believe a strong message was sent to the marketplace that spectrum at 2.3GHz and above is valuable and has to be part of the conversation. We continue to expect an ecosystem to build and develop here. We view this as a positive for CLWR.
Clearwire has been a provider of the broadband wireless Wimax service to Sprint-Nextel (S).
Clearwire stock today is up 19 cents, or 13%, at $1.69.

Binghamton University Cinema Department unveils spring series
Binghamton University's Department of Cinema recently announced its Spring 2003 Film and Video Artists Series. Artists featured will be on hand to present their works. All events will take place at 8 p.m. in Lecture Hall 6 on the campus and are free and open to the public.
On Tuesday, February 25, The Black Maria Film + Video Festival features the best entries from the independent film and video fest. This fiercely independent annual festival consistently features in its juries well-known cinema luminaries such as New York-based filmmaker Jennifer Reeves.
Filmmaker and experimental puppet theater artist Janie Geiser appears Wednesday, March 5, to screen her works Spiral Vessel (2000), Lost Motion (1999) and The Secret Story (1996). Geiser's work has been performed and screened internationally in venues such as the Rotterdam International Film Festival and the Phenomena Festival in Jerusalem, Israel. Although her short films are often inspired by doll-like figurines, her work goes beyond childish make-believe to incorporate complex themes of failure and loss.
Michele Smith will appear at the screening of her film Regarding Penelope's Wake (2002), Tuesday, March 25. The two-hour film, which created a sensation at the New York Film Festival, is a montage culled from numerous sources, including stag films, an instructional film, documentaries, science films and home movies.
On Tuesday, April 1, Gregg Biermann hosts the screening of his film Material Excess (1992-1993). The film crams the consumer goods of modern life into a framework of Danté' s Divine Comedy resulting in a difficult, frequently funny and ultimately human reflection of society.
Appearances by the filmmakers are sponsored by the ART Mission in Binghamton, with presentation funds from the Experimental Television Center, supported by the New York State Council on the Arts. The series is co-sponsored by the Harpur College Dean's Office. For more information, call 607- 777-4998 or Vincent Grenier at 607-777-4997.

This is a beautiful comfortor set. Well made and the tufting really nice. The detail very well done. It is completely reversible if you like changing things around. I love this set. Soft relaxing colors. I ordered this on a Tues. and it was delivered on a Thurs.
Redmond, WA
Beautifully made! - This bedding is lovely. Quality construction and generously sized. This is my third order from Bedding Style. This vendor is consistently prompt in getting the merchandise out the door. The only problem is their choice of UPS Ground for 'standard' shipping. UPS refuses to perform signature-required-at-deliveries in early evenings or on Saturdays when customers who work a regular business day can be home to sign for them. FedEx Home is a much better choice of carrier for this reason. Unfortunately, this is likely to be my last order from Bedding Style unless shipments come by a different carrier or are sent without requiring a signature. My rating reflects my opinion of this merchandise and Bedding Style, NOT the hassle caused by UPS.
Mandeville, LA
We Love It! - We love the look, the clean lines and the contrasting colors. I added two small blue cherry pillow on either side of the breakfeast pillow and it looks great. I would like to get the ruffled shams that are the same as the underside of the comforter. I can't seem to find it when trying to order it. I think it needs more color on the front shams.
Brick, NJ
Perfect Choice - Great Comforter of good quality. laura Ashley is known for that. Love the color, love pattern. The delivery was in 2 days. This company is excellent.
Redmond, WA
Extremely well made! - I ordered these shams as part of the entire Laura Ashley 'Sophia' set and couldn't be happier. Very often, items like this look good in the photos but don't stand up well under closer scrutiny. I sew; poor workmanship sort of jumps out at me, but these were done the way I would do them myself. They were delivered quickly. The entire thing was a pleasant experience.
Redmond, WA
Beautiful!! - Exceptional quality, well-made, HIGHLY recommended! After 19 years, I finally decided it was time to retire the old bedding and start fresh - and fresh is exactly the right word. The colors, the quality of the fabric and workmanship is wonderful. I couldn't be happier. Haven't had them long enough to run them through the washer yet, so keep that in mind. I'll come back and report if they reveal any flaws after laundering.
Sofia Laura AshleyI bought this 8 years ago at Penny's. I love the whole set, curtins especially. The sheets are not so nice, and I cut them up and made a back drop for my bed. Bought extra curtins and hung them on the sides. Painted the room blue. Cut up one curtin in order to add to the length because I need 96". Nothing has faded since I bought it and just wish I had more bedrooms to decorate!! Want it in red now.
Beautiful curtainsLove the quality of the curtains. Nicely lined and allows a nice soft light. Also got the shower curtain and love it. As an aside, I also got the entire bed set which is also beautiful but the sheets (although pretty with eyelit trim, are rough. If I would have known, I just would have gotten nice soft white sheets.
Love it!We just redid our guestroom in shades of blue and white. This is a beautiful set---very nice quality and most attractive. We are very pleased.
Sophia beddingThis is just what I had expected from the Laura Ashley Collection. Beautiful, excellent quality,exactly as pictured, and such soft colors.

Having used it on Piera's eMac, I can say that I really don't find it useful. In the world of Virtual Desktops, Expose doesn't do much for me. I mean, seriously, if you have a disoragnised desk, than it probably makes sense, with little notes all over the place. This reminds me so much of "Where's Waldo". You know the book, the one where you have a thousand illustrations of people in an area, and you have one guy, Waldo, who you need to find.
Expose feels like that. Sure, when you only have a few windows open, it is probably nice. But ALT+TAB is so much faster. I can go back and forth without a problem. Expose might allow me to take a look at everything I have open, but I am only looking for one thing. And Expose doesn't know what I am looking for. With Virtual Desktops, I find it much easier to say "Hey, Email goes here on this desktop, generic web browsing here, development stuff here, graphic stuff here,..." and so on. I keep my life organized.
No doubt that Expose is a neat feature, it looks cool, and people probably use it. But as I see it, it's a Band-Aid on a larger problem. Window organization. Taskbars are the same thing. The computer can multitask, but the user is only ever actively using one application at a time.
No, really, that's it. Even if you are using a PHP IDE and checking the results in the browser, their is only ever one active application. You are writing in your IDE, and then switch to the browser. This makes a Virtual Desktop environment much more suited to getting stuff done. A virtual desktop allows you to setup "workshops", and in this workshop, you can get all your tools out ready to use. You are only ever going to use one tool at a time.
But with something like Expose (and as far as I know, Mac OSX doesn't have virtual desktops), it's like having one workshop, with all your tools laid out at once. You are only ever going to use one at a time, but now you have all your projects in one workshop. This means your life is much less organized, and you have just increased the number of choices you have to make whenever you want to switch tools.
And this coincides with something I saw on Daily Planet the other day: we have too many choices.
On a side note, Piera will probably beat me up for all of this. After all, she loves her Mac like any good Mac Addict does. And she freely admits her addiction.

The road to the start of the regular season began last night with the Hall of Fame Game between the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals.

H&R Block (HRB) last night said its fiscal third-quarter earnings were a wider loss than last year and came in below consensus estimates. Today, however, the stock is up 8% to $26.95.
The reason for today's buoyancy is the guidance provided, which looks pretty healthy:
"We continue to believe that industry filings this tax season will grow in line with historical levels of approximately 1 percent to 2 percent," [CEO William] Cobb said yesterday on a conference call with analysts. "While it's still early in the season, we believe we are outperforming the market thus far in both the assisted and digital categories."
Mark Palmer at BTIG Research last night reiterated his Buy rating on the stock and his $27 price target. He noted that the 3.2% dividend "make it an interesting total-return opportunity."
The company's report of volume through Feb. 28 as well as its commentary on expected progress on expense front should help address a couple of concerns that had been aired in advance of the quarterly announcement. While some had theorized that HRB's volume and expense levels could be impacted by the challenges associated with demand getting pushed back from January into February – the thinking had been that overcrowded HRB offices and additional overtime expense due to strained staffing levels could detract from performance – neither the reported results nor management commentary reflected any such impact.
Indeed, HRB stated that it continues to expect its cost-reduction initiatives will generate $85-$100mm in pretax earnings in FY13.
Analysts at Oppenheimer also reiterated their Outperform call, and raised their price target to $29 a share from $27:
We are expecting HRB to build nicely in the back-half of this tax season. Notably, HRB closed 200 retail storefronts and 500 Sears locations for FY13, creating a self-imposed (but likely profitable) wall to climb in terms of growing filers. However, HRB highlighted that it is retaining its former Sears store-related filers at a 70%+ rate, which is encouraging. For total digital we project growth of 5.9% y/y, notably digital is facing its own headwind with a number of filers moving away from software/shrink- wrap digital and Free File Alliance instead migrating to HRB's digital online offering. Notably, we are modeling digital online growth of 14% y/y with digital software/FFA decreasing 8%/1% y/y, respectively.
However Efraim Levy, analyst at S&P Capital IQ, downgraded the stock to Hold — though that may be more of a valuation call since he raised his price target to $27 from $21 a share.

These are some of the videos I have from this past season. I learned alot but 3 of the main lessons were: Make sure you're not filming on the lowest possible setting out of 5 options ( I'm an idiot), learn to use the manual focus, and you can't hide behind stuff with the camera like you
This first one was in Texas and after this I went sttraight home and overnighted a Burris Fastfire sight beforeI went out to NM. Every thing was going just fine and I was in no hurry and was watching the bird strutt at 25 yards. I could see the bird well althought hte camera angle was not good. Watch at the end and you'll see what came in and caused some of the drama. I don't think we're ready for prime time yet???
This was in Texas as well and a friend called and I was the shooter. It was the first time anyone has been with me when I killed a bird besides Mary
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alju7Grl ... re=channel
This one is....lets just say more interesting than it should have been??....I was alone and carrying the camcorder and set up best I could at the time.........Watch at the very end and you'll see someone disappear into the sunset
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dM5wkHEG ... re=channel
In Texas again with a friend calling. This bird was going to another hen and just paying us a little lip service
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HPHWSkN ... re=channel
In Montana here with alot of hen talk & gobbling audio and not really any good video at all. This went on for 25 minutes easily and this is just a cut out of the video. You can se the gobbler towards the end. They're not nearly as far as it looks on video. When the hens topped the hill they were 25 yards away.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ugq6Sgmj ... re=channel
This is in Mr Bates's place in New Mexico. Thuis bird came down the hill and milled around 20-25 yards away just across a ditch from me. This place was awesome...I mean terrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What were your thoughts of AOTC Teaser Trailer?
Let's talk about it here!
It was awesome!
It was ok.
It sucked.
Haven't seen it yet.
What were your thoughts of AOTC Teaser Trailer?
Let's talk about it here!
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Well, to be honest I would of liked to have seen a little bit more in the trailer but I thought the "teaser trailer" did what it was designed to do - that is be simply a "teaser", but it was very cool to see something new about AOTC. I'm really glad that it wasn't a bunch of clips of all the stuff that we've seen in the Insider and on Starwars.com.
I had been able to stay relatively cool and laid back when it came to anticipation of the film. But now I just can't wait! Argghh! May 2002 can't come fast enough!
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
don't worry...it'll get here quick if you don't htink about it, and hey! we got another trailer on harry potter...soon enough...
Teaser?!? Teaser!? It was terrible... how short it was! Arrgh! I loved it, but I wanted more! Oh well. "We shall be patient." Just enough to wet the whistle, a whole planet enough of wetness!
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
Here's the thing: I already knew what each scene was from, and what was going on. I have to say the production value looks great and everything is right on. But with having read 'the story' on TFN maybe almost a year ago, I am not in angst over any rabid anticipation. I cared most about the legend. I can wait to see it acted out. Looks like E3 is a step higher in quality over anything we've seen before. I like the look of the movie, but wonder if it will match with the rest of the story.
Of course finally seeing it acted out will be great to actually experience some sort of catharsis with the passion involved (I use that term loosely, to mean not only romance, but deep obsession with vengeance, etc). And finally, it will be confirmation of whether or not TFN got it right, and whether I bought the correct amount of Episode 2 action figures.
It's one of my favorite hobbies, but it amounts to "something to do" and it's not going to change my life.
Star Wars means to me: a genre for dioramas and art to match the collection I assemble; a topic to spring board into forum discussions and fiction to write. A sort of collective interest to share with fellow fans, like a favorite sports team. The legend's being written well is paramount. The movie is just the main media vehicle that keeps it all going.
Well, in my particular case, spoilers do make a spoiled brat. But alas, I'm still having fun, and it's well before May.
(it was alright.)
Who's a sexy kitty? Who is? Yes, you are. You're a SEXY kitty...
PHONE BOOK Written by Bendis. Art by Jim Lee. Total copies sold: 15 billion.
"Comic Collecting. Miss a decade, miss a lot."
As a teaser, I thought it was pretty cool and didn't fail anywhere except 2 short scenes that looked more like video game movies than actual big-screen stuff. I expected a lot less and was given a nice surprise. I kinda don't want to see more for a few months, but I'll still go and see the longer trailer next week.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I enjoyed it....BUt there is still something missing....
Having been a die-hard, overly dedicated fan of 24 years....
I find the new footage lacking in one respect....the magic....
Just as Ep. I lacked....there is somehing of the escapism lost.
This looks more like a SW rip off than its prequels....
I don't know....After being so let down by Ep.I....I just hope this one redeems the epic emotions for me!
I found the LORD OF THE RINGS teaser trialer MUCH more fulfilling than I did "Breathless" for Ep.II.....
The images were all cool, as expected, but I was dissapointed in the lack of a soundtrack. The breathing didn't have any kind of "eerie" impact or anything so the effect of the entire teaser felt rather weak. As for the selection of shots, I thought they were all well thought out. We got to see a bit of the romance, a tease of Boba Fett, and most importantly, a hint of the massive army and potential battle to come. All that without giving away the story as so many other trailers manage to do today. So, all in all, a fair effort, but the addition of a better soundtrack would take it up to excellent.

What do you think?
I would really like to see Orakpo (UT) or Laurinaitis (OSU) in the draft and its a long shot but Asomugha would be tremendous.
Post your ultimate wishlist (top pick and top FA acquisition)

Muhaha. This is asking for this kind of response.
1. Albert Haynesworth
2. Nnamdi Asomugha
3. Terrell Suggs
4. Ray Lewis
5. Bart Scott
6. T.J. Houshmandzadeh
7. Chris Gamble
8. Karlos Dansby
9. Jordan Gross
10. Jeff Saturday
11. Oshiomogho Atogwe
12. Jermaine Phillips
13. Chris Canty
14. Roy Williams
Ehh. I think i'll end there. I could add more. Those are some pretty impressive acquisitions huh?
Number one free agent acquisition would be Nnamdi Asomugha. The second one would be Bart Scott or Karlos Dansby. Other than that we should not sign anyone from free agency. I guess Albert Haynesworth would be awesome, but he would cost half our salary cap.
Medical history is made as Dan Marino is fitted with (2) bionic knees and a cybornetic achilles tendon.He comes out of retirement,playing better than
he did as a 27 year old.Hey,since it's a wish list.
On a sad note...Ted Ginn tears a hammy trying to catch up to one of
Danny's lasers.
he is talking about Roy Williams the SS i think...
Realistically i hope for
FA: Boldin (1st pick traded), Jason Brown C (ravens), Bryant McFadden CB (Steelers), Yeremiah Bell, Goodman, Hill resigned
Draft: 2a) SeanSmith CB/FS (Utah) 2b) Ron Brace NT (BC) 3)Adam Ulatowski RT (Texas) 4) Best ILB available
I personally would like in order:
1.) Sage Rosenfels
2.) AJ Feeley
3.) Leslie Sheppard
4.) Jamar Fletcher
5.) Eddie Moore
**** Just kidding obviously ****
I would love Jordan Gross, but I think we will approach this off season like last one and target mid-level fa's. I personally see us signing Bryant McFadden fomr the Steelers and possibly Bart Scott.
I disagree entirely. I think looking to sign a player such as Julius Peppers, Albert Haynesworth, or Nnamdi Asomugha is completely the opposite way that this franchise is heading. Parcells philosoph is to create deoth of the entire 53-man roster through free agency while finding some solid starters and building your superstars through the draft. Shelling that much money out to one player will not help our team in the long run. I'd rather us take care of our players such as Yeremiah Bell, Andre Goodman, and Vernon Carey first. Then take the approach we did last year. Karlos Dansby and Jason Brown are the two guys I want to target. Both are impact players and you could get both of them for half of what you would bay for Asomugha, Haynesworth, or Peppers. If I were Jeff Ireland this is what I would do...
Free Agency-
*Andre Goodman-Cornerback
*Vernon Carey-Right Tackle
*Yeremiah Bell-Strong Safety
*Jason Brown-Center
*Karlos Dansby-Inside Linebacker
*Jordan Black-Offensive Tackle
1-Larry English-Outside Linebacker-Northern Illinois
2A: William Moore-Safety-Missouri
2B: Ron Brace-Defensive Tackle-Boston College
3: Brian Robiskie-Wide Receiver-Ohio State
4: Keenan Lewis-Cornerback-Oregon State
5: Otis Wiley-Safety-Michigan State
7A: Jasper Brinkley-Inside Linebacker-South Carolina
7B: Edwin Williams-Center-Maryland
7C: Kaluka Maiava-Linebacker-USC
I would release Ernest Wilford and Reggie Torbor to free an additional $4million in cap space. I would try to trade John Beck away for a pick.

Could someone help me and translate what they are saying, please?
Thank you
Could someone help me and translate what they are saying, please?
Thank you
So this doesn't address the translation question, but I just now realize that V/T have the same respective first names as Tatiana Totmianina and Maxim Marinin! My mind is blown!
They look so cute, and so does their little puppy. Thanks for sharing.
Max: They (they both used "we", i.e. spoke as a Pair) congratulated everyone with Happy New Year, wished people to have a very joyful time on these festive days and all year around, be in good health, with all happiness and luck, succeed in everything, stay with positive emotions only. To all Russian athletes- win all golds and medals they wish.
Tatyana: Of course we wish you inspiration, kindness, happiness, positiveness and all the best in the New Year.
Thanks, Let's Talk!
Can someone tell me why there seem to be so many varied Russian surnames and a rather small pool of first names? I've almost never heard a skater's or a gymnast's surname repeated (except in obvious cases like Dmitriev, father and son). Yet I hear relatively few first names, and when we refer to skaters by their first names, I have to stop and think about which people are being referred to. Russia has a larger population than the U.S., but the U.S. has a far greater variety of first names. I'd say that this is an unfair comparison because the U.S. is so ethnically diverse, but Russia is also ethnically diverse, from its history of having all those republics at various times. Any thoughts? Is Russia one of those countries like Iceland or Sweden where there's an authority that forbids certain names?
Interesting questions, Olympia. Yes, on the surface, it would seem like there are fewer popular first names in Russia than in the U.S. In the last few years, we skating fans have tended to hear many of the same names over and over--Yekaterina, Yelena, Tatiana, Maxim, for example. However, if you do some reading of Russian literature/history, you'll find there are many, many more first names than you commonly hear these days. For example, girls' names such as Marfa, Avdotiya, Kapitolina, Klavdiya, and Antonina appear in Crime and Punishment and Dr. Zhivago, yet have seldom been seen as skaters' names. I don't know if there is a naming authority, but perhaps the prevalence of use of popular names is simply greater in Russia than here (just as in the U.S., popular boys' names are more prevalently/widely used than popular girls' names).
Perhaps AlexRus could share some insight on this.
A Web resource regarding Russian first names:
I honestly was expecting to see Tomanina and Marinin.
whose dog is it?
Russia's population is half the united states'.
Thanks for translating.
The name issue is interesting but popular names are popular names. Like the Russian Presidents have all had cliche names for Russian men. Boris, dmitiri and Vladimir!!
Silly me! Whoops....I was thinking of the populaton of the Soviet Union, which was around 400 million. You're right, of course: the sovereign nation of Russia, which is minus many of the old republics, is only about 142 million. My apologies to both countries and all publishers of encyclopedias. Thanks for catching that gaffe, Gmyers!
Russia is a multiethnic country, even more ethnically diverse than the US with 150+ ethnic groups
its true typically first names are very typical but its the last names that you will know their heritage, there are many similar first names
but by last name you can almost know their heritage like
Gerboldt, Enbert, Abt are German last names
Plushenko is a Ukraianian last name "ko"
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva , "Tuktamysheva" is not a Russian Surname by its root word, she is an ethnic udmurt
Ruslan(typical caucasus male name) "Zhiganshin" who is a tatar,
Sikhuralidze, Gedevanishvili, Gosviyani and Maisurdze are Georgian Surnames,
Li ( Lee) is a Korean, Sakhanovich sounds like a tatar or tungustic root word to me.

They are such a great team and such nice people. I hope they win Worlds this year, especialy after being robbed of the GP final and World golds last year.
I knew about two of the Georgian suffixes, -idze and -vili. and the -enko Ukrainian suffix, but the others are new to me. (Well, except for Li.) I wasn't aware that the name Ruslan was from the Caucasus. I've always loved that name, since learning of Glinka's opera Ruslan and Ludmilla (based on the Pushkin poem). The overture is one of the most exhilarating pieces of music ever--I think it marks the beginning of Russian national musical style, an opening salvo of one of the world's greatest music traditions, and it just emanates new starts and springtime.

I have 10 keeper pictures in a folder in Lightroom that I want to save to a thumb drive for printing. Several of these pictures didn't need any postprocessing. Will Lightroom compress those pictures anyway, even though they've not been changed, when I export them to my thumbdrive?

If you save as a jpg, it will compress it. I believe the default settings in Lightroom save to a TIFF which doesn't compress.
My Gallery I scrap with Photoshop CS6.
