I've got a real problem, Dave. My college-age son had a party in my house while my younger children and I were on a trip and now I find that my house is a venue in Foursquare called "Party House". I don't want that. At all! How can I delete my house as a Foursquare venue??
Yow. As a parent myself, I live in fear of having my privacy shattered by one of my children having a friend over — or a friend of a friend — who creates a geolocation venue either with a suggestive name (like "party house", eep!) or has my full name ("dave taylor's house"). I cherish my privacy and if I want to put my home address on the public grid that's something I should decide, not someone else. It's a major issue.
I won't ask about the discussion you had with your older son when you returned from your vacation and found that he'd hosted a party because, well, maybe he asked you ahead of time? 🙂 Still, that is the stuff of modern parenting nightmares.
Turns out that there isn't a great answer for you because Foursquare, like so many other geolocation games (Gowalla, Brightkite) really wants to preserve the integrity of its database. You can imagine a malicious person moving famous venues or simply deleting restaurants or stores she didn't like, etc…
So the Foursquare recommended solution is to simply post about the problem at Getsatisfaction, its support site. Here's the best thread I could find: How can I delete a Foursquare venue?
Some small subset of Foursquare users are promoted to "super user" based on their usage and I am lucky to be one of them. I am apparently at level 1 based on what I can do, but it is enough that I can actually delete a venue myself. Well, "delete" is probably the wrong word because using the Foursquare system, I simply mark it as "closed" and it vanishes.
My friend had a problem with duplicate venues defined for his consulting business so I actually deleted the duplicate to be able to demonstrate how it works. It's not generally applicable, though, unless you know someone who is a super user, of course. 🙂
I started by logging in to my Foursquare account. On the top right is a search box:
When I searched for my friend's venue name, I found multiple matches, including the venue that he wanted to have deleted:
The one we were planning on deleting was simple "zoosketti". When I click on the match, much more information is displayed:
As you can see from the highlight, "Edit Venue" is the link I want to click (and I surmise that if you aren't a super user you won't see this link. Sorry 'bout that!)
Since there's no "delete venue" option, I'm going to simply mark it as closed by clicking on mark as "closed" . Now the venue name gets a line through it:
And another search reveals that it has indeed been removed from the database.
Since odds are good you aren't a super user on Foursquare, I apologize that this option isn't available to you. Instead, I would suggest you simply post your venue deletion request on the How can I delete a Foursquare venue? thread on Getsatisfaction.
Hope that's helpful.
I will note that I imagine that geolocation services will all have to wrestle with this sort of thing as more and more residential locations show up in the database. For a lot of reasons, I think it'd be a disaster for me to have an app that shows where everyone lives whether or not they grant me permission to know their home address.

As startup and expansion stage companies grow and begin to scale their teams, they all face a similar quandary: hire a staffing or recruiting agency to source talent for them, or hire a corporate recruiter in-house?
There are merits to both options, depending on your hiring needs.
At OpenView Labs, we currently have two full-time recruiters on board (including myself) and we act as corporate recruiters for the expansion stage companies our firm invests in. We source top talent, interview candidates, and perform due diligence, all with the specific goal of saving our portfolio companies time and money.
In recent years, hiring recruiters in-house has become more and more popular. After all, at a reasonable median salary (about $63,000 per year in Boston according to Salary.com), a corporate recruiter can cost less than the total annual sum that some companies pay in recruiting fees.
We believe so much in the value of corporate recruiters that we recently launched a search for a third member of our recruiting team at OpenView Labs (if you happen to know a rock star corporate recruiter, please pass along our job posting). Meanwhile, several of OpenView's portfolio companies have recently added — or are looking to add — a corporate recruiter to their growing teams too.
But how do you know if hiring a corporate recruiter makes sense for your business?
There are three key things to consider:
- What is your current and future hiring strategy? Laying out that strategy will answer a lot of questions for you.
- Do you expect a larger volume of hires in the coming years? If you anticipate an increase in your hiring volume, then you may see significant value in hiring a corporate recruiter.
- What type of employees will you be hiring? If you're focusing mostly on entry-level employees that might require a smaller recruiting fee, it may make sense to use an agency. If you're looking to recruit at a variety of levels including more senior positions, then an in-house recruiter may be able to save you money.
If answering those questions pointed you toward hiring a corporate recruiter, then the next step is to truly understand their role and how it's evolved over the last few years.
Recently, I read an article on ERE about that topic. According to the article's author — respected HR consultant Dan Kaplan — there are three recurring corporate recruitment trends which have been taken from the CEO's perspective and their recruiting needs.
Here they are, along with some of my own thoughts:
Corporate recruiters are salespeople.
We are not going to strong-arm someone into joining the companies we work for, but when we are trying to recruit A-players, we must remember that they are likely looking at several options.
Corporate recruiters need to be more strategic, have a keen business orientation, and possess the ability to sell prospective employees on the company. To do that, recruiters need to understand the corporate culture, business goals, and talent needs of their company in order to attract the right employees.
While that "sales" label doesn't sit well with some HR professionals, talent acquisition expert Louis Kadetsky lists the ability to sell as a core competency of all great corporate recruiters.
The corporate recruiter's role is being elevated to talent management.
The business need to both recruit and retain employees is growing exponentially, and therefore the skills and experience of a talent manager are critical when scaling a business.
Recruiters will be judged on who they invite to the corporate front door and how the employees they recruit ultimately contribute to the company. And as important as it is for recruiters to identify and hire top talent, their ability to effectively retain that talent has become equally critical, a recent Harvard Business Review study revealed.
Developing new data analytics is required.
Cost-based data (how recruiters show their value and progress) is quickly being replaced with quality-based cost analytics. The percentage of new hires who are performing at or above average (based on peer review) and how many are still with the company after one year are now better indications of a recruiter's success than the cost to hire X number of employees.
The new data should reflect how the performance of new hires and their longevity with the company supports business growth strategies.
Without question, the role of the corporate recruiter will continue to evolve as market conditions change and the economy improves, so it's important to stay up on any new trends.
That's particularly true for companies at the startup and expansion stage. After all, businesses at this stage of growth often need to be more creative to acquire top talent and are far less capable of absorbing bad hires and surviving high employee turnover.
So, what makes the most sense for your business? If you're thinking about hiring a corporate recruiter, make sure to keep the trends above in mind.

BROOKSVILLE — Mayor David Pugh wants the state to look into problems with the filing process for City Council candidates and has promised to file a complaint with the Florida Elections Commission.
Pugh said Tuesday that he wanted state intervention because he was concerned about a number of errors in documents filed by other City Council candidates and the perception of bias in the process.
"I don't know why all the mistakes are happening," Pugh told City Council members during their regular meeting Monday. "But I'm upset by it. I know there's bias up here. It's just one of those perceptions and we need to deal with it."
Council members voted later in the meeting to clean up some language in the city's current elections code that some candidates have found to be ambiguous. They will take up the larger issue of whether to transfer the city's election duties to the Hernando County Supervisor of Elections office at a later date after the upcoming elections.
Brooksville's City Clerk's office now handles candidate filing information and then sends the materials to the county Supervisor of Elections office. That office then places the candidates on the ballot and keeps tabs on their campaign finance information.
But council member Lara Bradburn proposed during the July 7 council meeting that the city transfer all of the election duties to the county Supervisor of Elections office, saying the move would remove any hint of bias in the process and improve efficiency at City Hall.
Bradburn reiterated those concerns about the city's process during Monday's meeting. And once again, Bradburn's idea was met with resistance from council member Richard Lewis, who vigorously expressed support for City Clerk Karen Phillips.
"Karen goes over everything meticulously and she's always handled everything in a timely manner," Lewis said. "I feel that she handles the job just fine. I commend the city clerk for the job that she's done. I do not support (the proposal) at all."
Pugh and Lewis later clashed during the meeting after Lewis criticized Annie Williams, the Hernando County Supervisor of Elections, for mistakenly mailing out 432 incorrect Republican absentee ballots recently. Pugh said the city has committed errors during its filing process, too.
"We have problems in-house," Pugh said. "And if we can't see it, then we're turning a blind eye again."
Lewis then suggested — somewhat rhetorically — that Pugh should have the city's problems investigated; Pugh agreed.
"I was trying to avoid this," said Pugh, who will run for re-election against Cecil Davis on Nov. 4. "I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I'm fired up about it because it does affect me."
Phillips had no comment Tuesday about Pugh's intention to file a state complaint.
"I really don't want to talk about it," Phillips said. "I have no idea what the issue was — it was unclear. (Pugh) needs to take it up with the Florida Elections Commission."
City Manager Jennene Norman-Vacha said Tuesday she would approve of almost any solution that made candidates comfortable with the process.
"If the comfort level is not there, that's a concern for me," Norman-Vacha said. "Whatever the solution is, it's something that we need to look at."

Audrey Quock
A mainstay in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition, Quock can point to several appearances in other top magazines, including Elle and Cosmopolitan, as well as contracts for Cover Girl and Diesel. She has also dabbled in the movie business and can be seen in Rush Hour 2 and Autumn in New York.
AppealThe fact that Quock boasts the exotic look and innocence of a fine Asian woman brings in fans. Her other assets only hit admirers after they gaze at her amazing portfolio: she has a body and set of legs sent from heaven, and a sensual gaze that seems to be saying things that are too hot for the Internet. It is no wonder that she has been a main focus of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue five years running...
SuccessTo be considered a supermodel, your resume has to read like a who's who of the fashion world. Not surprisingly, Audrey Quock's accomplishments follow this trend. After studying at the famous Fashion Institute of Technology (F.I.T.) in New York, she has conquered much of the modeling world. Quock's ad campaign experience includes such famous brands as Diesel, DKNY and Banana Republic. She is also involved in cosmetics, doing commercials for Cover Girl with Tyra Banks and Niki Taylor, as well as various work for Shiseido Cosmetics.
She is best recognized, however, for her work in print. Many magazines, such as Elle, Cosmopolitan, GQ and Allure have banked on her beautiful face for increased sales. Most importantly, her great photos in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue have astounded men from 1999 to 2003, and are viewed as her crowning achievement.
Quock also has experience in film. She was Don Cheadle's wife in Rush Hour 2 and then appeared in Autumn in New York with Winona Ryder. Her only TV appearance, outside of commercials, came when she was asked to be a judge for the 2003 Miss Universe Pageant.
Audrey Quock BiographyBorn in the bustling Chinatown of New York, New York, Audrey Quock is of Chinese descent and has two sisters and one brother. Her childhood could be considered relatively normal, until she sprouted as a teenager and became a towering beauty. On a dare as a 5'10" 16-year-old, she entered a modeling contest and, although she did not win, a scout recognized her beauty and introduced her to the New York fashion scene.
kept her mind "fit" for success
Before she landed any real exposure, Quock studied at F.I.T., the Fashion Institute of Technology, in New York. She concentrated on fashion design and soon knew the ins and outs of the industry. These studies certainly helped ease a young Quock into the crazy fashion world.
Quickly, Quock found a niche in modeling. She was one of the few Asian models who was tall enough to walk the runways and easily fit in with the other models. Small jobs for local designers soon translated into widespread recognition and Quock found herself bombarded with modeling contracts.
big names dotted resume
She graced many print ads with her presence, including ones for Diesel, Banana Republic and DKNY. Soon, offers from the likes of Elle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Allure and GQ became regular occurences. Thanks to her frenetic work, Quock could soon boast being in magazine ads and articles at the same time.
quock's breakthrough
In 1999, Sports Illustrated came calling with an enticing offer to appear in their annual, and extremely successful, swimsuit issue. Without much hesitation, Quock agreed and then proceeded to show off her greatest assets in the skimpiest bikinis. Men loved her so much that the magazine called her back for five years running.
acting out her career
Unwilling to be pigeonholed as a one-dimensional model, Quock landed roles in film just when she was becoming a household name. In 2000, she was Richard Gere's girlfriend in the romantic Autumn in New York and one year later, she appeared, however briefly, as Don Cheadle's wife in Rush Hour 2, with Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan.
With an appearance as a judge for the 2003 Miss Universe Pageant, Quock has shown she has true staying power in an industry that sees models come and go year after year. Her decade worth of experience has given her a leg up on most of the competition and makes the next 10 years of her career look quite promising. That's nothing but good news for us, too.

The True Story Behind 2015's 'Room' Is More Harrowing Than A Movie Could Ever Be
Earlier this year picked up in 2015's heart-wrenching gut-puncher Room, an adaptation of Emma Donoghue's best-selling novel of the same name. Ma's story is a harrowing one; after being kidnapped as a teenager by a vicious stranger, she spends the following seven years confined between four walls. She is repeatedly raped by her captor and bears his child, Jack ( ), who's born into a boxed world. He talks of bed, wardrobe and lamp as his friends and knows nothing further than the space within which their existence is defined. Ma, who's real name is Joy Newsome, then hatches a plan to get him out.
Although thankfully the novel and script are fictional works, there's a reason its narrative is too close for comfort. The true story that inspired Donoghue to pen Room is more disturbing than any movie could be. She explained to The Guardian in 2014:
"Back in 2008 when I heard about Elizabeth Fritzl and her children emerging from their Austrian dungeon, our kids were four and one. My first thought was: How did she do that, how did she manage to mother – and mother well – in a locked room? But my second thought was: Aren't there moments for every parent, and every child too, when that intimate bond feels like a locked room?"
A Room Without A View: The Case Of Elisabeth Fritzl
Elisabeth was 18 years old when she was kidnapped, held captive and repeatedly raped by her own father, Joseph Fritzl. In 1984, he asked her to help him carry a door down to their basement, yet unbeknownst to her this door was the final addition to the secret prison he'd been building for her since she was 12. After she helped him install it, he rendered her unconscious by smothering her with an ether-soaked towel, chained her to a bed and locked the door. This is where she stayed for 24 years.
According to reports, he began sexually assaulting his daughter the next day, unchaining her six to nine months later to get "better access." Anyone who asked of Elizabeth's disappearance was given the same spiel: She'd run away with a religious cult, lies he'd support by forcing her to write letters to her family describing spiritual enlightenment.
His repeated raping resulted in seven children, one of whom died shortly after birth and his body was disposed of in the incinerator; three were confined — like Jack in Room — to the bunker, and three more who were sent upstairs to live with Josef and his family in their house. He explained the children's existence to his wife and social workers by claiming Elizabeth had sent them to him from the cult because she couldn't provide adequate care. Thus, Fritzl was able to legally adopt them without raising suspicion. His wife was never allowed in the basement, which was hidden behind several electrically sealed doors.
Based on a report in The Guardian from back in 2008, we can see the decorations in Elizabeth's prison draw similarities to Ma's. Her attempts to desperately decorate their drab surroundings were documented by police: small painted snails, a purple octopus, child's drawings of flowers, fish, stickers of stars and the sun — all things her "downstairs" children had never seen with their own eyes, only via the TV.
The Escape
It wasn't until 2008 that Elizabeth's chance for freedom came. Her first born, Kerstin, was seriously ill and she demanded the girl be taken to the hospital. Grabbing the opportunity to communicate with the outside world, she slipped a secret note into her daughter's pocket that read:
"Please, please help her. Kerstin is really terrified of other people. She was never in a hospital. Kerstin, please stay strong until we see each other again."
Although Josef recounted his fiction of how the child came into his possession, the hospital immediately became suspicious and made a TV appeal for the mother to come forward. Somehow, Elizabeth ordered Fritzl to take her, and he obliged — a move that finally foiled his monstrous plan, resulted in his arrest and marked the end of her nightmare.
A Child's Perspective
It was the conclusion to this tale that struck a chord with Donoghue and inspired her to tell Room from the perspective of Felix, Elizabeth Fritzl's son who was just 5 years old when he was released into the world. It's this narrational approach that made the story of Room so simultaneously simple — its childlike eye adding a devastating innocence — and multifaceted, with its posing of deeper, existential questions — after all:
"Jack has to cope with the dizzying revelation that there's a world outside the door. But don't all our childhoods have moments like that, on a smaller scale?"

Writer says Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel 'is the latest iteration of the 'Super Quarterback' phenomenon'
All it takes is a look at the past to see that quarterbacks with multiple features have ascended to the top of the college football world.
As Chris Huston of CBSSports.com writes, it has been a decade of outstanding quarterbacks who have re-written the record books and the latest "Super Quarterback" is Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel.
"This year, Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M is the latest iteration of the "Super Quarterback" phenomenon," Huston writes. "Like the others, he's a unique talent featured in a juiced-up spread attack that enables him to put up remarkable statistics.
"Through 12 games, he's run 584 plays for an SEC-record 4,600 yards of total offense and 43 total touchdowns — numbers that are right in line with those of recent Super Quarterbacks."
Huston writes that in 2003 Oklahoma quarterback Jason White was setting the college football world ablaze with a 40 touchdown season. Now, quarterbacks are accounting for over 50 touchdowns in a season and Manziel isn't the first to have his numbers magnified into a Heisman quality season.
The previous four Super Quarterbacks before him were no pushovers as Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III all were drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Huston goes on to say that the spread offense has helped these quarterbacks in their success but that Manziel is proof that we are in a college football era with Super Quarterbacks who have even found a way to translate their game to the professional game.

By JOHN F. BURNS, Special to The New York Times
Published: June 23, 1990
ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland, June 22— The Canadian Government conceded tonight that a long and divisive effort to confer a special constitutional status on Quebec had failed.
Nearly six years after it was elected on a pledge to end the divisions between Quebec and other regions of the country, the Government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney acknowledged that its controversial plan to designate Quebec as a ''distinct society'' within the Canadian confederation had collapsed.
Many Canadians fear that the development will throw the country into the worst constitutional conflict in its history, with the strong possibility that Quebec would once again actively seek independence.
End to Last-Ditch Attempt
The crisis that had been building for months burst shortly before 8 P.M., when Mr. Mulroney's top constitutional aide, Senator Lowell Murray, went before reporters in Ottawa and said that the Government was abandoning a last-ditch attempt to save its constitutional plan.
Mr. Murray noted that the three-year deadline for ratification of the plan by all 10 provinces would expire at midnight Saturday and that two provinces, Manitoba and Newfoundland, had failed to adopt it. He said that Mr. Mulroney would address the nation on Saturday to announce what steps the Government would take to rescue the country from its constitutional dilemma.
Quebec Asserts Identity
Robert Bourassa, the Premier of Quebec, went before the National Assembly tonight in Quebec City and blamed ''English Canada'' for the collapse of the constitutional pact known as the Meech Lake accord, which Quebec signed at a lakeside retreat north of Ottawa in 1987.
He said that Quebec's proposals had been ''fair and reasonable,'' but that English-speaking Canadians had continued to blame the province for the country's divisions.
''English Canada must clearly understand that Quebec is in fact a distinct society, capable of assuming its identity and its own destiny,'' he said.
All hope of beating the deadline vanished earlier in the day when the Manitoba legislature adjourned for the weekend without attempting to take a vote on the constitutional plan. But Senator Murray laid the blame for its failure on Newfoundland, the island province in the Gulf of St. Lawrence that was the last of the 10 to enter Canada, in 1949.
After town meetings across the province to test opinion among its 570,000 inhabitants, its legislators debated the risks of rejecting the pact and contributing to the break-up of Canada and decided tonight not to vote on it.
'Last Hope' Is Dashed
Clyde Wells, the province's Premier, said in a speech to the legislature that he had called off a vote scheduled for late today because of what he described as the ''pressure tactics'' of Mr. Mulroney. Mr. Wells accused the Prime Minister of maneuvering to put Newfoundland into a position in which it could be blamed for allowing the pact to fail.
But Mr. Murray said that Mr. Wells had broken a pledge to Mr. Mulroney and the other provincial leaders that Newfoundland would reach a decision before the deadline. By not voting, he said, Newfoundland had '''dashed the last hope'' for the pact.
Mr. Mulroney predicted on Thursday that failure to adopt the pact could hand victory in the next Quebec election to the separatist Parti Quebecois, now in opposition, which tried and failed to break Quebec away from Canada in a 1980 referendum and which has pledged to renew the effort if it forms a government in the province again.
Mr. Bourassa, a Harvard-trained economist, had worked since his own election in 1985 to win approval for a deal that would end the constitutional isolation in which Quebec found itself after Canada adopted a revised version of its constitution in 1982 without Quebec's signature.
''In the name of all Quebecers, I want to express my profound disappointment,'' he said in his address tonight.
Speaking in French, Mr. Bourassa said that Quebec governments had worked for 10 years, since the 1980 referendum in which the province's voters rejected independence, to try and work out a constitutional accommodation with the rest of Canada.
''Up to 1985, people said, 'What does Quebec want?' '' he said. ''We clearly explained what we wanted. Since 1985, the question has been what does Canada want? We are still waiting for Canada to respond to this.''
Breakthrough Doesn't Occur
Tonight's announcement of failure followed a day in which hopes had been raised by the Government's effort to create more time for the unanimous provincial consent required to ratify the Meech Lake pact.
At noon, when it became obvious that the provincial leaders in Manitoba would not force a vote on the pact against the wishes of a a Cree Indian legislator who had filibustered a debate on the accord, Senator Murray called a news conference and astonished the country by saying that the Mulroney Government thought it had found a way of extending the Saturday deadline.
For months, Mr. Mulroney had told the provincial leaders that there was no way around the deadline, and as it neared he used the time limit to pressure those opposed to the constitutional pact into concessions. But Senator Murray said today that the Government's legal experts would go to the Supreme Court and press for an extension of at least three months, possibly longer.
He said that they would argue that a new vote in the Quebec legislature ratifying the pact would shift the starting point for the three-year time limit on adopting constitutional amendments from June 23, 1987, when Quebec originally ratified the pact, to Sept. 23, 1987, when Saskatchewan became the second province to approve it.
Experts Were Skeptical
Constitutional experts were skeptical that the Supreme Court would have accepted the plan, and opponents of the constitutional pact were furious with Mr. Mulroney for seeking to avoid the original deadline.
But Canada's financial markets, which have been depressed by the prospect of the pact's collapse, reacted by pushing the Canadian dollar up against the American currency and by posting major advances in the prices of Canadian Government bonds. Prices quickly fell back again as the day progressed and the chances of ratifying the accord receded.
Mr. Murray said this evening that the Government abandoned the idea of asking the Supreme Court to stretch the deadline when it became apparent that Newfoundland, as well as Manitoba, would not have approved the pact by the expiration of the original time limit.
The Senator said the Government's original plan had been based on the assumption that the court would be sympathetic to the argument that the pact lacked unanimous provincial consent only because Manitoba had run out of time for its debate. He said the Government felt that the court would not entertain the case if two provinces had failed to ratify.
''A positive vote by Newfoundland was the only basis on which we could have gone to the Supreme Court,'' he said.

hello,I would like to make most of my printer R2400 as I am in the process of making prints for sale. With that being my purpose, I would like to seek advice on the following questions: - I am using the Epson driver v. 2.32 while they have 2.5 available on their website. Should I install 2.5? Will I see any 'improvement' if I do?- Is a custom made profile worth it? Ctein recommends Cathy Stratton's profile for example. Or is Rip a better idea? I am reading QuadTone Rip's tutorial (not yet purchased) and that's for BW, right? What is your recommendation for Colour?- For paper, I am using Fine Art Pearl. FAP with its .icc looks slightly better than with R2400 Premium Luster .icc (standard), but I need more experiments on this. Both .iccs, I used Relative C. + Black P. Compensation On. I also like Photo Rag 308g very much and want to make BW prints with Photo Rag. Any thoughts on these combinations of paper and the printer, to get the best results? So far I have made mainly colour prints so I am new to BW printing. I do not forsee any majority change - probably will do 30% or less in BW. Thank you in advance for your suggestions!Mari[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=127532\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
If you are truly looking to "make the most" of your printer, then yes I would invest in custom profiles.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=127578\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]The fact that you provide custom ICC profiling for $ couldn't have anything to do with your opinion? Just sayin.Beautiful photos on your website, by the way.
The fact that you provide custom ICC profiling for $ couldn't have anything to do with your opinion? Just sayin.
Thank you so much for your suggestions. I will definitely try FA Pearl for my B&W, though I tend to prefer 'platinum' looks to higher contrast. The only thing with Photo Rag is that it needs careful handling, ie scuffing. From that point of view, FA Pearl is fantastic, of course it's a semi glossy surface I'd like to try Crane Silver Rag too. Yes, I love experimenting different papers, so making a custom profile for every paper could be a bit too much of $.Another observation is that my prints have overall darker colours/tonality, compared to my laptop monitor (yes, it is calibrated every 4 weeks). This could be because I am printing them from LR, instead of CS2, without soft proofing. My prints have been consistently darker, though. I remember that Uwe recommends 10% less ink when the photo has lots of shadows. What is your take on this? One more thing: FA Pearl is very hard to load with single/manual loading. I had to load 5 times before I could get it going, without getting 'paper jam' warning (and it wasn't jammed!). That could damage the surface, and I guess I will just use normal feeding. Mari[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=127652\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
As much as I like FA Pearl, when I comapre it to Photo Rag 308 gsm, it feels 'light' in my hands. What to do, there's only one version of FA Pearl = 285 gsm, right?Has anyone used Photo Rag Pearl 320 gsm? Does it have a nice pearl finish like FAP on its beautifully textured Photo Rag (would be ideal )? Or is it a totally different thing? The only reason I didn't pick it up the last time I was in a local store was that it said on the box 344 gsm! According to their website, there's only 320 gsm Photo Rag Pearl... so I don't know, maybe I saw something else. m.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=129095\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
On paper, I compared the sharpening in LR and in CS and concluded that CS is better. If I use LR for printing, the files have to come back from CS, after having been properly sharpened in CS.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=136650\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

The stock market is always right. Nonetheless, I must admit to being more than a little annoyed that the stock market greeted the election results with a two-day nosedive, the worst two-day decline since the crash of 1987. Even Friday's 250-point gain was little solace. It smacked of Wall Street pique that the next president appears to be no friend of "the Street." But the economic platform of our new president came as no surprise, so why the selloff? Yes, he promised to tax capital gains at the same rate as ordinary income, which would represent a huge hit to those who still have any capital gains remaining. But the smart money had already priced that fact into the stock market, selling earlier in the campaign as the candidate's momentum picked up. Certainly, President Obama will take a more populist approach to digging America out of its economic mess. But realistically, how much more could Wall Street have expected in the way of aid from the government? More than a trillion dollars has already been injected directly into the banking system by way of guarantees and capital stock purchases. With the global financial markets resisting transparency, clarity and centralized clearing of transactions, all the liquidity in the world won't restore trust and spur lending. So why not try from the other end -- by helping the debt-ridden consumer? On balance -- priceless! The stock market, as measured by the Dow Wilshire 5000 Index, lost $1.2 trillion in the two days following the election. Part of that came from fear of the unknown impact of the next president's (and Congress') planned policy changes and spending programs.

text: Autrijus, I un-TODO-ed the tests, and built you a TODO list of what I saw as outstanding issues. I did my best to differentiate between bugs in the implementation and un-implemented features. Enjoy ;) - Stevan t/builtins/ - die.t The stringified version of $! is printing Haskell type information. - grep.t The "grep {} @list" form does not work correctly. - map.t The "map {} @list" form does not work correctly. - sort.t This form "@a.sort:{ $^a <=> $^b }" seems to sort alphabetically and leaves a <SubBlock<anon>> on the end of the return list. This form "@a.sort:{ $^a cmp $^b }" seems to sort correctly, but leaves a <SubBlock<anon>> at the begining of the return list. This form "sort { $^a <=> $^b } @a" does not do anything. - undef.t There are some tests within the block starting at line 121 which test for dangling references. There are a number of other TODO tests in this file, but most are valid TODOs. t/builtins/list/ - join.t The form "@list.join(', ')" does not work correctly. - reverse.t The test group on line 36 illustrates a possible problem with this code: my $b = @a.reverse; Should $b become an Array reference? Or will it be a string? Especially when @a only has a single element. This may be just a simple issue with the return context of reverse(). - zip.t I did not un-TODO these tests, but there are some odd ones in here you might want to look at. t/data_types/ - array.t The following things are broken in this test. Auto-flattening lists like this: my @array3 = (@array1, @array2); Slices with arrays like this: my @array6 = @array1[@slice]; Arrays with trailing commas: @array10 = (1, 2, 3,) - array_ref.t Lists with trailing commas again: $array_ref8 = [ 1, 2, 3, ] - hash.t & hash_ref.t lvalue has assignment with unquoted keys: %hash1<three> = 3; $hash_ref1<three> = 3; slice assignment (see line 65 in both) t/operators/ - inc.t both hash and array auto-incrementing does not work @a[0]++ %a{'key'}++ - precedence.t I did not un-TODO these, but there are some at the bottom of the file you might like to look at. t/statements/ - for.t The "for @list, sub { ... }" form does not work - given.t I did not un_TODO these, but there are some edge cases in here you might want to look at. - if.t if with no parens and closure as cond param fails. - loop.t Declaring a 'my' variable in the loop does not work loop (my $j = 0; $j < 10; $j++) { $count++; } # parse fail - try.t This has the same error as die.t in that the $! value is a Haskell type and not perl t/subroutines/ - sub_named_params.t Take a look here, but I am not un-TODOing since I dont know how far along this has been developed. - sub_return_values.t There is a problem with sub return values see this mail for more details: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl6.compiler/276

Elizabeth Maxon believes the lives of orphans matter.
The dirt road that crosses the small pond dam at Jim Mahaffey's Used Cars and Parts looks like the perfect setting for a scary movie.
Covered in a thick canopy of pine trees, very little sunlight penetrates to the red clay.
Narrow and winding with slanted shoulders on both sides just wide enough for a wagon, it isn't very much of a road.
Crossing it by the light of day is no cup of tea, so just imagine how frightening it can be during a moonlight hayride.
Louis Fenchel joined the Worthington (Ky.) Volunteer Fire Department at the age of 16. That's a little too young to become a firefighter. And the fire department had to bend its age requirement to accommodate. But there were some other factors.
"This was in 1965. Vietnam was in full swing and there were few able-bodied men left in the area," Fenchel said.

An editorial in The New York Times examines recent reports of widespread cellphone surveillance by law enforcement agencies in urging action to update electronic privacy laws. "Cellphones, e-mail and online social networking have come to rule daily life, but Congress has done nothing to update federal privacy laws to better protect digital communication," the editorial states. The editors suggest a bill introduced by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) to amend the Electronic Communications Privacy Act would do so "in important, sensible ways" and then advocate putting it before the Senate Judiciary Committee so "debate on this critical issue" may begin.

Diesel is and will remain the solution for auto emissions in Europe. That's the implied message based on the long and growing list of diesel debuts at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show. A number of models will feature stop-start technology, the mildest of hybrid systems. But more robust gas-electric or purely electric cars are announced mostly as distant future models or merely as concepts. With rare exception, none of the models are intended for the United States. Here's our quick rundown of announcements so far.
Peugeot Hybrids
Peugeot will reveal its first two vehicles to use the company's Hybrid4 drivetrain.
The 3008 Hybrid4 crossover and RCZ Hybrid4 concept sports car feature a parallel hybrid system consisting of an electric motor for powering the rear wheels and an internal combustion engine to spin the front wheels. The system provides 4-wheel drive on demand, and can operate in internal combustion, all-electric or blended modes. The 3008 Hybrid4, which will go on sale in Europe in 2011, could be the long-awaited first diesel hybrid to hit the road. No plans yet to market the RCZ Hybrid4.
German manufacturer Herpa plans to show an all-electric prototype version of the Trabant—the much-maligned classic vehicle of Communist East Germany. Three million units of the original model were built between 1957 and 1991. The long shot idea is to revitalize the square boxy model by putting in an electric drive with the capability of 150 miles of driving range. With such gimmicks as a rooftop solar panel, the new owners of the nameplate hope to attract investors and re-launch a modern eco-friendly version by 2012.
Volvo All-Electric C-30
According to UK's Autocar, Volvo will debut an all-electric C30 hatchback in Frankfurt. The electric Volvo is merely a concept, but Volvo has confirmed an upcoming plug-in hybrid version of the V70 wagon, scheduled to launch in 2012.
BMW 320d
BMW will use Frankfurt to roll out its 2.0-liter four-cylinder diesel 320d sedan, promising more than 57 miles to the gallon. The 320d is expected to deliver 162 horsepower, while keeping CO2 to 109 grams per kilometer in the EU test cycle. Top speed is 140 mph. The BMW 320d comes with regenerative braking and stop-start functionality switching off the engine even during a short stop in traffic, avoiding any unnecessary consumption of fuel while idling. BMW will also show its ActiveHybrid X6 and ActiveHybrid7 models, which will go on sale in the US later this year.
Mazda CX-7
Mazda will show off the CX-7 2.2-liter turbo diesel, the first Japanese brand diesel to use Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to reduce diesel emissions. Like the urea-based systems found in Mercedes and BMW clean diesels, the AdBlue solution is stored in a tank under the rear cargo area and injected into the exhaust stream ahead of the catalytic converter.
Citroën DS3
Citroën is showing the first production versions of its new DS3 mini car—which is not one, but a portfolio of vehicles. It will ship with a choice of five engines: three gas-powered and two diesels. The diesels put out 90 and 110 hp and have CO2 ratings of 99 and 115 g/km, respectively. The DS3 is small, about 10 inches longer than the Mini Cooper. Like the Mini, drivers can customize components including the roof, body, rearview mirror housings and wheels. Inside, customers get a choice of dashboard strip, gear stick knob and a host of other interior equipment with themes such as Maori, Zebra, Wave, and Daisy.
Suzuki SX4
In Frankfurt, Suzuki will show the diminutive 1.3-liter diesel-powered Splash and Swift models, as well as the gas-powered Alto. It will also display the 2010 Suzuki SX4 five-door hatchback, including the Minor Change model available in Europe with all-wheel-drive and an all-new 2.0-liter diesel engine offering 18 per cent lower emissions. This model will be introduced later in 2010.
Kia Venga
Kia will make the world debut of its new small car, the Kia Venga. Just longer than 13 feet, the Venga has a long wheelbase and is packaged for as much interior space as possible. Every engine in the Venga line-up will be available with a stop-start system, and will comply with Euro 5 emission standards. Consumers will be offered a choice of two 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter gas and diesel engines.

Symbols of Karen Beauty
Today, a small number of Karen - Padaung tribes reside in Thailand. Some are in the Mae Hong Son area of the Northwest. These are most commonly known as the Long-Necks, this term signifying the practice of adorning their women with brass rings around the neck. Other Karen-Padaung tribes reside in Phrae Province, in the north central part of Thailand, and Baan Thaton in far north Chiang Mai province. Their primary female beauty feature is the use of carved elephant tusk in the ears. These unique methods and mediums of adornment go back a long way, and the Karen-Padaung of Mae Hong Sorn and Phrae continue these traditions today.
In the Mae Hong Sorn and Bann Thaton area, the women of the Karen Padaung villages wear multiple brass rings around the neck, the arms and the legs, and for this tribe the rings are the most prominent sign of female beauty and status. The rings on the neck reach from the clavicle up to beneath the chin, and these rings are always held very tighly by the bone structure from clavicle to chin. This neck ring adornment is started when the girls are 5 or 6 years old and the neck grows longer as additional rings are added with each passing year. It is from this practice that this tribe has gained the name of "Long Necks". One woman in Plam Piang Din Village wears 37 brass rings around her neck and this is considered ideal.
The rings on the arms and the legs are not quite as prominent as those on the neck simply because the neck rings are so pronounced. However, these rings are just as important. The rings on the arms are worn on the forearm from the wrist to the elbow. Those on the legs are worn from the ankles to the knees, and cloth coverings are kept over most of these rings, from the shins down to the ankles.
The Karen-Padaung in Phrae live in the Wangshin District, in Maesin Village, Kangjai Village and Maepong Village. These are in the vicinity of KM 75 on the Phrae-Wangchin Road. The women of.these Karen tribes display their beauty, and their status as married women, by wearing carved elephant tusk in their ears. When a woman is married, her ears are pierced and an elephant tusk of one to four centimetres in length is inserted.
During the early stages the ear pieces are quite small, especially for younger women. The weight of the tusks gradually weighs down on the ear lobe and the ear gets larger and larger, and longer and longer. Then larger tusks are inserted and the process repeats itself until the woman's ears become extremely elongated and floppy. The married woman wears these ear pieces for life.
Unmarried girls in these tribes do not wear the ear pieces, but they do wear white dresses, in contrast to the red and black dresses worn by the married women, and on the backs of their hands a few magical words are written in spiritual languages. These words carry meaning to bless these girls to have a happy life.
The tradition of these Karen - Padaung who are sometimes referred to as the "Long- Ears" is one of the oldest of peoples in this part of the world. Long before any of the present day territories were formed by boundaries into nations or countries, the peoples of Southeast Asia, particularly mountain dwellers, practised a custom known as "Loaded Ears". According to this custom, the ears, being one of the most sacred parts of the body, were an important object of adornment. For beauty in the women and for strength in the men, the ears of both sexes were loaded. Today, among the Karen-Padaung of Phrae and of Burma, this tradition is continued for the female gender only, once married.

BP Unfiltered
Four Suggestions: Cincinnati Reds
The Cincinnati Reds should feature a productive offense and a strong defense in 2011, but will Dusty Baker's lineup construction optimize either asset? Looking at recent history, which includes poor OBP at the top of the order and his best defensive shortstop on the bench, that may not happen without a few helpful suggestions. So Dusty, If you're reading this,here are four moves to help improve your run production and run prevention alike.
1. Ryan Hanigan should be the primary catcher and hit in the two-hole.
This should not be a difficult decision. Hanigan is better defensively than Ramon Hernandez and he possesses better plate discipline and on-base skills than Baker's other top-of-the-order options.
Hernandez logged more plate appearances [352] than Hanigan [243] last season, but the latter was more productive, hitting .300/405/.429 to Hernandez's .297/.364/.428. Going forward, the 30-year-old Hanigan should be able to at least approximate his 2010 performance, while the 35-year-old Hernandez, given his age, track record over the past four seasons, and .332 BABIP, is likely to regress. Hanigan, who had a .313 BABIP, has a career .379 OBP in the big leagues -- 50 points higher than Hernandez -- and at this stage of their careers their power numbers are comparable.
A move from the eight-hole to second in the order may result in Hanigan's walk rate [13.6] decreasing somewhat, but with a speedy Drew Stubbs on first base [more on that in a minute] and Joey Votto at the plate instead of the pitcher, he will also see more fastballs. That should only help his team-best 20.8 line-drive rate, while his combination of patience and contact skills [10.3 K rate] will aid the running game. Brandon Phillips, who spent time in the two-hole last year when not leading off, had inferior walk [6.7] and K [13.3] rates and is better suited to hit lower in the lineup.
2. Drew Stubbs should be the leadoff hitter.
Yes, the young outfielder struggled when put in this role last season, but unlike Phillips [career .316 OBP], we don't yet know what he is capable of. We know that in a short sample size as a leadoff hitter, early in his first full season, he wasn't impressive. But we also know that he reached base at better than a .390 clip over the last two months and that his on-base numbers in the minor leagues were consistently above average. His 2010 walk rate was a solid 9.4, so he is by no means averse to accepting a free pass.
Stubbs strikes out more than you'd like from a leadoff hitter, but Dusty Baker loves speed at the top of the order -- Corey Patterson and Willy Taveras, anyone? -- and Stubbs certainly has wheels. He led the team with 30 steals last year and that number should only rise as his on-base skills mature. It wouldn't be out of the question to see him steal 50 bases as early as this season.
Many Reds fans will look at Stubbs' 22 home runs, and potential to hit 30-plus, and say that he should hit behind Jay Bruce and Scott Rolen. There is merit to that argument, but given Baker's limited options -- and the fact that starting a game with a 1-0 lead isn't a bad thing -- there really isn't anyone on the current roster who profiles better as a leadoff hitter. The only one who comes close is the player who should get the lion's share of time in left field, and no, he isn't named Gomes.
3. Fred Lewis should platoon with Jonny Gomes.
Gomes is a popular player, he hits for some power and had some timely RBIs last year, but he simply isn't that good. That isn't to say he can't play a valuable role on the 2011 Reds, but it shouldn't be as the full-time left fielder. Gomes does one thing well -- hit left-handed pitching -- and everything else below average.
Playing a position that demands offensive production, Gomes hit .266/.327/,431 last year -- essentially replacement level -- and his splits were striking. He hit .285/.378/.479 against portsiders, but against right-handed slants he went just .257/.301/.408, which is shortstop-hitting-in-the-eight-hole territory [on this team, that would be Paul Janish; more on him soon]. Add in the fact that Gomes is sub-par defensively, and what you have is a situation that screams for a platoon.
The left-handed-swinging Lewis is by no means an impact player, but he counterbalances Gomes' weaknesses. He plays far better defense, runs well, and doesn't suck against right-handers. He provides better OBP [.348 over his career], and while he possesses less raw power than Gomes, he did go deep 8 times in 335 at bats against right-handers last summer. Great American Ballpark is friendly to balls driven to right field, so Lewis could reach double digits given the same amount of playing time, putting him on a par with the 12 Gomes hit versus righties. All of that said, Chris Heisey would probably outperform a Lewis-Gomes platoon, but given the unlikelihood of him being given that opportunity, Lew-Go is Baker's best option in left field.
4. Edgar Renteria should be nothing more than an afterthought.
One year ago, Paul Janish appeared poised to take over the shortstop position, only to see 35-year-old Orlando Cabrera signed to a contract and handed the job. While Janish and his gold-glove-quality defensive skills subsequently languished on the bench, Cabrera's hack-tastic hitting approach [.303 OBP], minimal power [.354 SLG], and not-what-it-once-was defense added sparse value. Cabrera has since departed and been replaced by another aging shortstop whose best days are long behind him.
It is a well-accepted fact that Janish won't hit much, but does he really need to at the bottom of the order on a National League club? What he does is play spectacular defense, and a Phillips-Janish keystone combination would be among the best in the game. Run prevention will play a huge role in the team's chances this season, and Baker will be doing his pitching staff a huge favor if he plays talent ahead of what is left of Renteria.
If Janish gets hurt -- or if he hits like Ray Oyler instead of approximating the .260/.338/385 he put up last year -- there are better fall-back options than Renteria. Zach Cozart is waiting in the wings, having provided strong defense, 17 home runs, and 30 stolen bases in Triple-A last year, while Chris Valaika is a good young hitter who catches what he gets to. Janish, Cozart and Valaika all have promise, and 37-year-old Miguel Cairo already provides greybeard infield depth, so Renteria should be deemed superfluous. Trust the kids, Dusty.

Agreed on all 4 counts, but unfortunately the odds of Dusty batting Hanigan high in the order is less than him giving Heisey the full-time gig in LF. While Dusty loves speed at the top of the order, he hates slow even more. Hanigan is your standard catcher on the basepaths and Dusty does not wanting him "clogging the bases".
Feb 15, 2011 08:35 AM
Really good article.
Feb 15, 2011 10:04 AM
Pretty much agree with everything you're saying. Although I also think that Dusty will have Lewis will lead off when he plays, though. Hanigan has a good eye, good contact skills, and to me would be a great choice for the two hole. He SHOULD catch 120 games. Check the team ERA when he was in vs. Hernandez... it was the better part of a run per game LOWER.
Feb 15, 2011 11:36 AM
When I clicked through I expected a discussion of how Baker should choose among the rotation candidates, or at least what would happen with Aroldis Chapman. Still a good blurb, and this omission may in part be why it's found in Unfiltered instead of being a comprehensive article.

Though I'm no BP writer, here's the rotation lowdown:
Feb 15, 2011 13:18 PM
Nice article. From what PECOTA is saying, I've got them in line for about 99 wins this year, given the across the board above average pitching staff.

Regarding the question of Unfiltered versus "full-fledged" articles, the primary difference is that the former doesn't go through the editorial process; they are simply posted by the author [there are exceptions]. In this particular case, knowing that we have a backlog of articles just now, I opted to put it up as an Unfiltered.

Okay, I confess. I totally missed the six weeks of Homer Bailey's season in which he suddenly turned into a real-live major league pitcher. Just didn't see it. And clearly something wonderful and magical happened. Because now everything I read has Homer Bailey firmly anchored in the rotation and Mike Leake, well, y'know, whatever, he doesn't really, y'know, his stuff is, didja see Homer?
Feb 21, 2011 14:32 PM
So do you cut Bailey? How do you send Travis Wood to Louisville? How do you put any of them in the bullpen on long relief duty? It may not be fair, but it makes the most sense.
Feb 23, 2011 09:56 AM
In not going after Tsuyoshi Nishioka the Reds missed a chance to solve two problems at once - an everyday shortstop and a switch-hitter that can bat in one of the top two sloots in the order. Janish had a high line drive percentage and was still mediocre at the plate. And DBake seems clueless as to which guy he wants to lead off (in an interview on the Reds site he gave four different names then basically threw up his hands and said it would work itself out)... Too bad as Hishioka wasn't all that expensive - probably less than the Renteria/Hernandez combo...

Champlin Park senior forward Bryce Plunkett started off the new boys hockey season with a bang by scoring a hat trick.
Unfortunately for Plunkett and company, it came with a 4-3 Rebels loss at Rogers on Thursday, Nov. 21. Rogers' Jacob Walker broke the 3-3 late in the third for the win.
"We were out-played all over the ice," Rebels coach Bryce Macken said.
Plunkett had his first tow goals during the first period before the eight-minute mark. His first one came unassisted at 1:26 into the game. Luke Dalman and Dan Kielb assisted on Plunkett's second goal at 7:48.
Rogers cut the lead to 2-1 with a power play goal by Jason Roberger about a minute later. Brandon Cecil knotted the game for Rogers in the second period, and Walk put them ahead 3-2 in the third.
Plunkett tide it up at 7:12 into the third on assist from Dalman and Max Turgeon. Rebels senior goalie Grant Dehmer finished with 42 saves in his first varsity start.
The loss came as a disappointment for a team with many returning players that made a deep playoff run last winter. The Rebels are off for the Thanksgiving break.
