The Tektronix WFM2300 Portable Video Waveform Monitor provides an ideal solution for video installation and maintenance applications with an integrated high-brightness, low-power consumption LED backlit display in a convenient portable form factor. The versatile Tektronix WFM-2300 can operate with an internal battery and DC input through an AC-DC converter unit.
WFM2300 waveform monitor
The Eye and Jitter measurements available in the Tektronix WFM2300 can do the SDI physical measurement up to 3 Gbps with Option 3G. The cable simulator/stress capability helps the engineer to ensure that the signal quality on a cable has enough margin to the point to start increasing the error rate.
Audio monitoring support for up to 16 channels of Embedded AES/EBU Audio provides a variety of audio level bar monitoring, multichannel surround sound display, and flexible Lissajous display. With Option DBE, the Dolby E metadata analysis and bar meter of the peak level data in metadata are provided. Also, an internal speaker or headphone port can be used for easy compliance verification of digital audio without the need for an additional piece of equipment.
The Tektronix WFM 2300 provides the reliability of the Tektronix waveform monitors family in a portable, basic monitoring product. The Tektronix WFM2300 offers uncompromised monitoring quality with sharp CRT-like traces, patented Gamut displays, picture thumbnail, display freeze, and an error log for 10,000 events for efficient content compliance verification.
Ease of use
See and Solve with Tektronix displays
Tektronix displays offer the sharpest CRT-like trace quality for clear waveform monitoring with the look and feel of an analog display. The familiar video waveform display can show SD/HD/3G-SDI signals in RGB, YPbPr, YRGB, or pseudo composite. Signal components can be displayed in either Parade or Overlay mode. Cursors within the waveform display allow precise measurement of Voltage and Time to be made. The vector display offers user-selectable graticules, color targets (75% or 100%), and color axis.
With several sweep rates and easy control of vertical gain and horizontal magnification, you can efficiently monitor and measure video waveform parameters.
Specialized displays provide summarized, yet comprehensive reports of alarms, session, and status of content. Powerful displays such as Video Status show a condensed view of error statistics, signal format, presence of ancillary data, and more. These Tektronix-exclusive displays simplify monitoring tasks by providing important content information at a glance.
Errors in the displays can automatically be logged in the Error Log and provided as a report.
Advanced physical layer measurements - in a portable platform
The Tektronix WFM 2300 provides unique capabilities such as reporting jitter levels above 1 UI and providing various jitter filters from 10 Hz to 100 kHz for SD/HD/3G-SDI signals. An easy-to-interpret gauge provides direct readout for jitter measurements. Users can configure timing jitter, alignment jitter or other jitter filter to effectively isolate the sources of jitter.
The SDI Status display summarizes key signal parameters such as signal strength, cable loss, and estimated cable length measurements. With FlexVu, users can display the jitter value and cable parameter measurements to help quickly diagnose and resolve problems related to SDI timing jitter or cable attenuation.
The infinite persistence mode of the waveform monitor can also be used to more easily view the eye opening of the physical-layer signal. In addition, the Tektronix WFM2300 can also perform automated eye amplitude, automated rise/fall time, automated overshoot measurement, and provide jitter waveform display to view jitter related to line and field rates. All of these capabilities help engineers in the field to detect and diagnose signal quality problems quickly and efficiently.Wide variety of interface support
The SDI A input supports SD/HD/3G-SDI (Option 3G) video signals and provides monitoring of eye and jitter measurements. For a Dual Link SDI signal, both the SDI A and MULTI IN inputs are used.
The MULTI IN input also supports SDI, AES/EBU and LTC signals so that the user can easily determine the type of signal present on a cable.
The AES OUT and SDI OUT connectors are test signal outputs that can be configured as loop through output. The individual outputs for Audio and Video in conjunction with the SDI A and MULTI IN inputs allow the user to evaluate the variety of Audio/Video equipment that may require the audio/video signal with separate path.
The REF IN connector is used for receiving the analog composite or tri-level sync signal to measure the timing or check the sync status between sync signal and SDI signals. It is also used as a Genlock signal source for the generator function. In addition, the analog reference signal connected to this connector can be displayed as a waveform to quickly check the quality of the sync signal.
The optical SDI interface (Option SFP) is supported with a transceiver SFP module. The transceiver module provides both an input and output that can be used simultaneously. The output can be configured as loop output or as a test signal output. The SFP status display shows the module model name, mode, temperature and other status of the SFP module.
The STRESS LOOP connectors are a bi-directional passive signal path that can be used with a SDI test signal generated by the Tektronix WFM2300 to test a signal path, or to add an additional cable length and interfering signal to a signal path to provide simple margin testing.
Quickly diagnose and isolate an installation issue
The cable stress/margin loop adds an additional 20 meters of cable and an interfering signal to the signal path. The use of the stress/margin loop along with CRC detection simplifies how to determine the cable margin of a system so that the user can quickly ensure they do not reach the "digital cliff" where the transmission error rate significantly increases.
Alarms, quality statistics, and logging – thorough and fast content verification
The Alarm Status display provides continuous information on the state of each condition currently being monitored by the Tektronix WFM2300.
To support unattended monitoring and QC applications, as well as provide documentation for service-level agreements, these instruments maintain an error log of 10,000 events, which facilitates the detection and correction of problems. Log entries are recorded with date, time of day, and time code (VITC, LTC, ANC). The error log can be downloaded to a USB flash drive or through a network connection to .TXT or .HTM formats for easy record keeping and processing on spreadsheets or database software.Picture display – quick visual confirmation and precision content adjustment
You can select bright-up conditions that show the location of RGB or composite gamut errors on the Picture display. The Line Select mode shows the location of the line currently selected within the Picture display.
Users can choose from several Safe Action and Safe Title graticules on the Picture display which help editors and operators easily identify incorrectly positioned video content such as graphics, titles, or logos.
Graticule choices include the Safe Action and Safe Title graticules defined in SMPTE RP218, ITU, and ARIB standards, plus two sets of completely flexible, user-definable graticules. These graticules facilitate editing tasks and reduce the need for format conversions.
Patented Tektronix gamut displays – efficiently detect and allow correction of gamut problems
For SDI component content that is destined for broadcast in composite systems, the unique Tektronix Arrowhead display can be used to monitor Composite Gamut compliance without the need for a separate encoder. Within this display, a separate upper and lower luma-only gamut limit can be applied.
Each of these displays offers user-selectable gamut thresholds so that operators can set monitoring limits appropriate to their specific operation and include a preset for EBU-R103. You can also select bright-up conditions to see the location of gamut errors on the Picture display. In addition, gamut monitoring is fully integrated with the powerful alarm logging and reporting capabilities of the Tektronix WFM2300.
Quad Tile display – flexible monitoring configuration customized to suit your application
Unlike instruments with predetermined view combinations, the Tektronix WFM2300's Quad Tile lets you create a Quad Tile display tailored to your specific needs and work practices. Each tile can be configured to enable easy signal analysis such as multiple alarm and status screens, different Safe Area Graticules and cursors on each tile, and more.
Digital audio and video monitoring in one instrument
The Surround Sound display provides intuitive graphical representation of channel interaction in a surround sound system. The Bars display provides indication for faults, audio levels, and provides indication of the presence of a Dolby format. The flexible Lissajous display allows the selection of any two audio channels.
Specialized audio displays provide deeper inspection of the signal and make the Tektronix WFM/2300 Waveform Monitor a comprehensive compact waveform and audio monitor. The audio session displays summarize levels, faults, and number of active bits for each channel. These instruments also feature Audio Control Packet Data and Channel Status displays.
Facility timing made easy
This Tektronix-patented Timing display makes facility timing easy through a simple graphical representation which shows the relative timing of the input signal and the reference signal (or a saved offset reference) on an X-Y axis. Simply adjust the timing of the equipment until the circle is within the center of the display for precise, direct measurements of vertical offset in number of lines and horizontal offset in μs.
The Lightning display of the Tektronix WFM2300 shows luma and chroma amplitudes and helps users verify component timing using a color-bar signal. The Tektronix-patented Bowtie display complements the timing measurement capability of the Lightning display. Using a special Bowtie test signal in component format, this display helps make precise, accurate measurements of interchannel amplitude and timing.
Troubleshooting signal paths
A simple test signal can be generated from the SDI output that produces 100% or 75% color bars along with pathological test signals with the ability to Genlock the test signal output to the External Reference Input. Audio test tones can be generated at the AES output or embedded in the SDI test signal output.
The user can change the test signal patterns, video format, whether the test signal is moving or static, audio test tone, and audio level. The moving circle allows the user to easily identify whether the test signal is active "live" or still and helps determine problems within the signal path that are caused by equipment freezing on the last frame. This can be useful for troubleshooting a signal path or piece of equipment without the need to carry an additional generator.
Superior data analysis capabilities for operators and engineers
In contrast to other solutions, the ANC Data Inspector enables operators to quickly and easily ensure that the VANC data is present and free of errors. When errors are detected, engineers are quickly guided to a more detailed view of the data packet content for further analysis.
Closed Caption (CEA708/608) and individual Teletext subtitles can be simultaneously decoded and displayed within the Picture display. Teletext subtitle pages can be decoded in either WST or OP47 format.
The Auxiliary Data Status display provides summary information on Active Format Description (AFD) per SMPTE 2016, Video Index Aspect Ratio, Wide Screen Signaling (WSS), V-Chip, TSID, CGMS-A, Broadcast Flag, CEA708/608 Closed Caption, Teletext, and Timecode information.
Today there is a wide array of metadata that provides information to a variety of equipment through the processing chain. Monitoring of this metadata is critical to ensure that the processing equipment correctly handles the signal. For instance, correct format of the AFD ensures that the aspect ratio on the display is correctly formatted and the automated AFD graticule is available for the Picture display of the WFM2300 along with the binary data and text description for easy monitoring.
The Datalist display provides detailed information on the actual data values in HD/SD-SDI and 3G-SDI (with Option 3G) input signals. Users can easily use this display to locate protocol errors in the input signals.
The left side of display shows uninterpolated digital values plotted against sample numbers as a digital waveform. You can configure this unique display in either Video mode or Data mode.
In Video mode, the display shows the Y, Cb, Cr values aligned temporally, but offset vertically. Like the waveform display, you can configure the display to show 1, 2, or all 3 components.

Authorities are seeking the public's help identifying the person who smashed out the window to a Blackwood Clementon Road jewelry store this weekend and stole an undetermined amount of merchandise.
Gloucester Township Police on Tuesday morning posted surveillance video from Anthony Simon Jewelers showing the burglary on its YouTube site.
The burglary occurred at about 3:30 a.m. Sunday, police said.
The burglar smashed out a side window to the business. The surveillance video released by police shows what appears to be a woman hop over a counter while carrying a light-colored backpack.
It has not yet been determined exactly what the burglar stole from the jewelry store as of Tuesday morning, according to police.
The suspect appears to be a thin woman who had her hair pulled back at the time of the burglary, according to police. The smash-and-grab burglar was wearing a dark sweater or coat over a white, collared shirt, light-colored pants and a dark belt, while carrying a large backpack.
Police ask that anyone with information about the burglary or suspect call police dispatch at 856-228-4500 or the township's anonymous crime tip line at 856-842-5560.

The Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) was established in 1858 and is an internationally operating conservation organisation based in Frankfurt/Main. The Society's main focus lies in eastern Africa, where our long-serving president, Professor Dr. Bernhard Grzimek invested much time and effort.
The Society is an independent, non-profit organisation. Our projects are financed through membership fees, private donations and bequests as well as from investment returns from the "Help for Threatened Wildlife" Foundation. Financial support also comes from third-party funds such as other foundations and charitable trusts.
Our work is committed to conserving biological diversity. FZS is therefore faced with one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century: the preservation of the world's natural environments.
FZS is momentarily involved in 70 conservation projects in 30 countries. Although the society's main purpose is global nature conservation, it also supports the Frankfurt Zoological Garden, which was initiated 150 years ago by the Frankfurt Zoological Society.
- Logistical support of National Parks and other Conservation Areas worldwide
- Assisting public authorities and other organisations in the establishment and implementation of conservation areas
- Advising government agencies in conservation queries
- Financing and assisting animal census surveys
- Individual protection programmes for highly endangered species
- Reintroduction programmes for endangered species
- Conservation education
- Land acquisition to secure valuable habitats for flora and fauna
- Protection and regeneration of natural landscapes
All of our projects are overseen by either our own staff or colleagues from reliable local organisations. All projects work closely with the local administrators and government agencies together. We monitor as a matter of principle the utilisation of all resources provided and regularly control and evaluate the projects.
The Frankfurt Zoological Society was founded in 1858 by Frankfurt citizens with the aim of establishing a zoo. Up until the First World War, FZS was the operating body of the Zoo and after the war the city council took over the Zoo's management. In 1950 the Society re-established as the Zoo's development association. Due to Bernhard and Michael Grzimek's animal surveys in the Serengeti in the mid 1950's, nature conservation became the secondary focus of support for the Society. Initial donations went towards the development of national parks in Africa. From that point onwards, FZS has made it its aim to protect and preserve endangered environments and animals the world over. The Frankfurt Zoological Society – Grzimeks "Help for Threatened Wildlife" is an acknowledged Conservation Organisation by law §58 of the Federal Nature Conservation Act.

Dave Basarab presented his book "Predictive Evaluation" at the March Chapter meeting and the Book Club SIG discussed it on March 29th at Barnes and Noble, with Dave participating via conference call.
Dave presented the "PE" model in a very open and interactive style at the Chapter Meeting. The PE model is based on using the model as a leading indicator, to predict the adoption success rate in advance of starting a training program---what a concept!
The PE model has two main components: Predicting and Evaluating and it provides data for executives, including:
If leading indicators are below what was predicted, actions can be taken "to right the ship".
The book defines the variables Intention, Adoption, and Impact in great detail. Intention addresses the question: "Are participant goals and beliefs upon course completion aligned with desired goals?" The text provides the steps to follow in order to conduct a successful Intention Evaluation.
Adoption addresses the question: How much of the training has been implemented on the job and successfully integrated into the participants work behavior. An Adoption Evaluation measures participant goal completion rate against the defined Adoption Rate created when training value is predicted, transferring goals to the workplace. Results are analyzed and reports produced as needed. The steps are outlined in detail in the text to conduct successful Adoption Evaluation.
Impact evaluation identifies the impact the value of training has for the organization that can be traced to training. Assessment is quantified by the adoptive behavior that has made a measurable difference. The steps are expanded fully in the book to calculate successful Impact Evaluation.
The model is designed to predict the success of skills-based rather than knowledge-based training. It is also designed to monitor ongoing repeatable training programs in order to measure continuous improvement. Most importantly, it is designed for learning organizations that are open to examining their progress further by looking within in order to improve processes to achieve more favorable results that can be traced to training specifically.
I have discovered that to start with the last chapter of the book, chapter 6, is extremely useful. It explains how to start using the PE model successfully. It recommends the plan of action and the questions to ask before starting. Questions such as "Who are the key stakeholders? Who should receive the evaluation reports? What resources are available? What existing practices are in place? What funding is available?" and the "Timing" may prove crucial to your plan. These questions help to assess the purpose of the evaluation and what is prompting it. A plan of action is the key to the success of the PE plan. Action steps such as Deciding on the Questions that the PE should answer, and Creating a list of information that the PE needs to deliver followed by a list of tasks to execute for each deliverable identified, may prove critical. Subsequently, after asking the questions, perform the PE using the PE Sequence as shown in the book.
To summarize, as Dave inscribed in my book: "Predict and Evaluate to drive great results." The PE Model is worth exploring prior to making the training investment, to illustrate to the organization stakeholders in a comprehensive manner the value and impact attributable to training.

When I was growing up, Sunday supper was the only time I could count on all four of my siblings showing up at the table at 6 p.m. sharp. No late arrivals because of football practice. No reprieves for dance lessons. No break for TV shows.
No problem. We liked Sunday dinners because they tended to be small-scale celebrations. Mom had a little more time than usual that day, and she often put it toward cooking up something special—a roast chicken, maybe, a stuffed pork loin, or a long-simmered pot roast. And she liked to pair her entrees with all sorts of side dishes, from perfectly seasoned green beans to creamy mashed potatoes.
Since nobody was in a hurry to go anywhere, both the meal and the company were things we could sit back and savor. Still, what we kids loved most about the event was that it starred our favorite foods. Of course, that was also the one little glitch in this nostalgic family portrait: Our supper was probably as high in fat as it was in popularity. It wasn't Mom's fault. She had no idea about the difference between "good" and "bad" fats, or how to fiddle around with ingredients to lighten up a meal. In fact, it never even occurred to her to do so.
But I don't have that luxury. Knowing what I do about good nutrition, I can't in good conscience serve my childhood favorites to my family. So I've learned to tweak these dishes to include healthier fats, less salt, and more of the foods' original goodness. Try them out for yourself, and you'll see why Sunday supper is still something no one in my family would consider missing. Recipes
Herb Roasted Chicken With Mushroom Gravy
Fresh herbs are tucked underneath the skin of a roasting chicken to subtly flavor the meat. Mushrooms and thyme are added to the gravy to give it depth.
1 4- to 5-pound roasting chicken
4 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, divided
1 tablespoon each minced fresh oregano and sage
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 4-ounce package sliced button or crimini mushrooms
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/4 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 450º.
Remove and discard giblets and neck from chicken. Rinse chicken with cold water; pat dry. Trim excess fat from chicken. Starting at neck cavity, loosen skin from breast and drumsticks by inserting fingers, gently pushing fingers between skin and meat.
Combine 2 teaspoons of the thyme with the oregano, sage, garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and evenly distribute herb mixture under loosened skin of breast and drumsticks. Lift wing tips up and tuck under chicken. Place chicken, breast side up, on a broiler pan. Insert meat thermometer into meaty part of thigh, making sure not to touch bone. Bake for 30 minutes.
Reduce oven temperature to 350º; roast chicken an additional 45 to 55 minutes or until meat thermometer registers 180º.
Place chicken on a platter, reserving pan drippings for gravy. Cover chicken loos...

The longtime Farmington Public Schools substitute teacher accused of criminal sexual conduct will return to 47th District Court on May 22 for a preliminary exam, according to an article in the Observer & Eccentric.
As Farmington-Farmington Hills Patch previously reported, Andrew Montgomery Howell, 58, of Farmington Hills faces a charge of criminal sexual conduct in the 2nd Degree.
Howell was arrested on March 27 after an incident reported to have occurred during school hours at Hillside Elementary School. In a district-wide list serv statement sent on Friday, Farmington Public Schools Superintendent Sue Zurvalec said district officials were notified on March 19 of a "complaint alleging inappropriate conduct".
The statement noted Howell was immediately blocked from substituting in the district; he had been a substitute teacher for 25 years, police said.
According to the Observer & Eccentric, Howell is being held on a $1 million bond in the Oakland County Jail.
Retired teacher Judy Day, a friend of Howell's for more than 30 years, also told the newspaper that Howell had told her that "he had placed the student on his lap to console her because she was crying."

My Vezina Ballot
by Tyler Dellow • April 22, 2010 • Uncategorized • 10 Comments
1. Jonas Gustavsson
2. Carey Price
3. Tuukka Rask
I don't have a Vezina ballot – the trophy is voted on by NHL general managers – but if I was an NHL GM, that's how I'd vote. I suspect that this is a little different than the consensus. Reasoning after the jump.
As you might have noticed, Gustavsson, Price and Rask are noteable in that they all play on entry level contracts, for teams that are either at, or very close to the salary cap. Capgeek.com shows the Maple Leafs as being over the cap, Boston with about $43K in cap room and Montreal with about $683K in room. Montreal's number seems high to me – it seems to me that they'd be closer than that, but it is what it is.
Gustavsson, Price and Rask have another characteristic in common – they all signed deals that provide for more than the Schedule "A" bonuses that are based on how you perform relative to your teammates. Those bonuses are capped at $850K and they all have contracts that provide for more than that, from which it can be inferred that they have Schedule "B" bonuses. These bonuses are payable for performing at an elite level relative to the league. Players are allowed to negotiate bonuses of up to $2MM for hitting various benchmarks. In the case of goalies, they can negotiate bonuses for finishing in the top 5 in wins, goals against average and save percentage as well as for winning the Vezina or Jennings Trophy.
The bonuses are subject to an overall limit of $2MM – if, for example, a player had $2MM bonuses for each of finishing top 5 in wins, goals against average and save percentage and for winning the Vezina Trophy, the most he could collect would be $2MM, even if he hit all of the targets. Dan Tolensky, who seems to have had curiously good access to information about Pittsburgh and Phoenix, had an excellent post a while back in which he printed a copy of Malkin's ELC and discussed the bonuses.
While we can't be certain precisely that Gustavsson, Price and Rask have a bonus for winning the Vezina Trophy, they're the most likely candidates. Here's where it gets interesting. As I understand it, if payment of those bonuses causes their teams to exceed the salary cap, it comes off of next year's cap. So, to be clear, the 27 GM's who don't run Toronto, Montreal and Boston can potentially reduce the cap space available to their competition by voting for their players to win the Vezina.
As there are so few voters, it doesn't necessarily take a lot of votes to put a guy into the top five. Voters pick someone for 1st-2nd-3rd, with points counting on a 5-3-1 basis. In 2006-07, Dominik Hasek finished fifth with 5 third place votes. In 2007-08, Miikka Kiprusoff finished 5th with a first place vote and two third place votes. The electorate is small enough that a couple of general managers voting out of self interest could skew the voting.
I've got no idea whether the player contracts call for bonuses for winning the Vezina or not, as this seems like a rather obvious problem. It's certainly a possibility though and, given that the CBA was put together without regard to a lot of big picture issues, it's not all that surprising that something like this exists. The NHL should probably take the Vezina voting away from the GM's because of this – they're begging for trouble when they give general managers the power to affect the salary cap room of other teams.

Fayette County American Federation of Teachers is joining the National Federation of Teachers to contribute hoodies for those in New York and New Jersey who were affected by Hurricane Sandy. Each school and the Fayette County Board of Education will accept donations. The window for donating the hoodies will run from Nov. 26 to Dec. 7.
Tens of thousands of AFT members were personally and professionally affected by Superstorm Sandy, which devastated the northeastern seaboard of the U.S. From the beginning, the national AFT has been assisting in disaster relief efforts by donating and soliciting funds and lending volunteer support. Now it's time for AFT-West Virginia members and our community to help those in New Jersey and New York by participating in Hoodies for Hope, a hurricane relief campaign sponsored by AFT-West Virginia.
As part of Hoodies for Hope, AFT-WV is asking for donations of new hoodies to assist our northern colleagues and their families in need from now until Dec. 7.
On Dec. 14, all donations will be loaded onto a truck at the Charleston office and transported to the United Federation of Teachers office in New York City, where they will distribute the jackets to those families in need.
Union family members in New Jersey and New York have experienced devastating losses as a result of Hurricane Sandy; homes and businesses leveled, schools destroyed and families left in limbo. Help AFT-WV bring hope and comfort to those who have lost so much by participating in the Hoodies for Hope campaign. As the holidays approach, let's show our thanks for the blessings in our lives by giving to those who have suffered so greatly from the hurricane.

Mercedes 220S W180
"The Snow White"
The Snow White is a 1957 Mercedes Benz 220S, well known for its 7cm longer body than all other Pontons.
It was produced only for three years between June 1956 and October 1959, to the tune of some 55,279 pieces. And than I came along on 3rd October 1959 and I supose many other cars as well.
With its mighty 6 cylinder, petrol-fueled 2195cc enginE, TWIN BARREL CARBS, it was capable of cruising with speed of 100kmh. STILL IS!
Three different versions were produced: sedan, convertible and coupe. If you are looking for the later two, than you are on the wrong page.
The "Snow White" is an ideal restoration project for the keen builder and therefore it is offered in such a state.

Fight Night steps back into ring
A new instalment of EA Sports's genre-defining boxing simulation has been announced for release sometime in 2011.
Fight Night Champion does more than ditch the "round" moniker that previous instalments proudly touted, according to producer Brian Hayes promises "the full meal deal with desert and a toy. The whole enchilada. All that and a bag."
IGN spoke with Hayes following the game's announcement, managing to extract scant details about gameplay. The development team is gunning for 60-65 fighters, expanded online features, and a new "Full Spectrum Punch Control" will be introduced.
Fight Night Champion will be available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2011.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I ordered these for my wedding invites with the pearly finish and they were breathtaking! I worked with a designer to add our middle names and make our names bigger and the designers were so helpful and fast! Highly recommend!!"
"I just received my invitations in the mail and they are everything I was hoping for. I searched for quite some time to find the perfect invite to match our Hard Rock Wedding and fell in love the instant i found these. The paper quality is wonderful, i did this design in the pearl finish with black envelopes! I did edit the wording and the design team was extremely easy to work with. The order shipped very fast also , which I loved! I would definitely recommend Wedding Paper Divas"
"We opted to go with the Elegant Enchantment series of products for our wedding invitation, thank you cards, and even details card. However, the RSVP card did not meet our specifications and/or could not be configured (through the website) to our liking, so we got the RSVP card from the Textured Linen series. It did not match 100% but served as an adequate substitute (plus we were able to include the information we wanted on that card). For customization, we opted for the blue/green flowers and used rounded corners with all of the correspondence. All in all, this series met our expectations in every possible way."
"Everyone who received it loved it and felt my wedding was going to be one not to miss. It matched all the items perfectly. It's a summer wedding and all my colors are blushes and gold... its perfect mix of casual CA and formal church service... it totally fit our personality. I didn't get the extra glisten paper and the invite had enough pop. I placed it on the a tri fold which really made it stand out!"
"We love this invitation! We made some personalizations by changing the border color, the stripes on the back and adding in our wedding website. We also got the the pearl shimmer which looked great. The customization process was super easy and the staff was very helpful."

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a mother fatally shot her 17-month-old son and 4-year-old daughter and then injured herself.
Tucson police declined to release the suspected motive behind Saturday night's shooting and declined to explain specifically how 25-year-old Perla Morales carried out her self-inflicted injury.
Investigators say 17-month-old Richard Rosovich Jr. died at his home, while 4-year-old Emma Rosovich was pronounced dead shortly after at a hospital.
Morales was booked on two counts of first-degree murder after she was released from a hospital where she was treated for her injuries.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — Compiling lists of defective Chinese-made products has become almost a cottage industry on the Internet — defective or tainted paint, medicine, pet food, toothpaste, baby formula, toys, seafood, vitamins, food additives and tires.
Unlike harmful products, China through no fault of its own is earthquake prone. But China is a big country and the chances of any individual being affected are statistically very low, which is what they told the people in Washington, D.C., until an earthquake cracked the Washington Monument, which is still shrouded and closed for repairs.
By the way, there was an earthquake in Thursday and Friday in Yunnan that damaged or collapsed over 13,000 houses.
That's why the news that China, in its quest for superlatives, is planning to take only four months next year to erect the world's tallest skyscraper, the 2,740-foot "Sky City." Work has already begun on the foundation for the 202-story building.
The builders hope to achieve the quick construction by using prefabricated parts build offsite and then snapped into place, rather like giant Legos. The very top floors would house a hotel while the rest of the building would be apartments, priced by altitude.
From floors 121 to 170 the apartments would range from 2,592 square feet to 5,616 square feet, decreasing in size until floors 16 to 30 with 648 square foot apartments. The 20th floor might not be a prestigious address but at least you would have a fighting chance of making it home if the elevators went out.
The Chinese have become hypercompetitive with the Persian Gulf when it comes to skyscrapers. Sky City may hold the title for world's tallest building for only five years, until Saudi Arabia finishes the Kingdom Tower, which is to be 532 feet higher.
But second thoughts and fears of a real estate bubble have crept in. The Communist Party newspaper, the People's Daily, griped that, "The vanity of some local government officials has determined the skylines of cities."
The Daily noted acidly that the Empire State Building, which took just over a year to build, took about two decades to fill with tenants and become a commercial success.
Dale McFeatters writes for the Scripps Howard News Service.

It's official: it's hip to be older. This marks the year that the last batch of Baby Boomers turns 40, activating the salivary glands of carmakers everywhere. Finally, marketers realize that their target consumers oughtn't merely be composed of belly-button-baring youngsters, but rather an affluent, mature populace. The 2007 Toyota Avalon is aimed squarely and unapologetically at this crowd. With a base MSRP of $31,325 and an as-tested price of $35,734, the 2007 Toyota Avalon is a serious commitment. The EPA pegs city/highway mileage at 22/31.
First Glance: Big, in a small way
The Toyota Avalon is classified as a full-sized sedan, a species currently occupied by such stalwarts as the Ford Crown Victoria and Chevrolet Impala. The Avalon manages to look smaller and sleeker than those slab-sided vehicles, thanks to a crisply creased character line that runs the length of the car and a handsome front fascia that extends to a sculpted hood. Like most big four-doors, the rear overhang seems excessive, especially considering that its trunk volume of 14.4 cu.-ft. is puzzlingly small for this class.
That brings up an interesting question: Wherefore the Avalon? On the surface, there's one reason that it exists in conjunction with its perennially popular smaller brother, the Camry: it's a bigger car, 8 inches longer overall. And rear accommodations (link goes to photo) are generous, with a flat floor and seats that can recline 10 degrees to make for three happy rear seaters. But when viewed next to Camry specs, the Avalon's actual measurements of 40.9 inches of rear legroom and 58.2 inches of shoulder space create an advantage of a mere 2.3 and 1.3 inches, respectively. And the Camry gives you as much as 15 cu.-ft. of trunk space. Think of the Avalon as a large shirt that wears roomy medium.
Continued below…
In the Driver's Seat: Nice, from a bit of distance
As of late, Toyota vehicles have not lived up to their reputation of quality fit-and-finish. The Avalon was no exception; my Georgetown, Kentucky-built test car had some obvious build problems, such as the otherwise handsome faux-wood trim that didn't quite line up and gaps in the panels that should've possessed a greater degree of conformity. The cabin was blissfully free of rattles, however, and attention to such details as the solid, consistent feel of the control buttons and the high quality of the materials around the cabin should be noted. The audio and climate controls were separate, as they should be, from the navigation system interface, and easy to use. They were backed up by steering wheel-mounted controls.
There were two main panels to access the controls to the 12-speaker JBL audio system, which delivered wonderfully multilayered sound, and the buttons to manage the navigation system. With both panels closed, the center stack was clean and minimalist. As helpful as the voice-activated navigation system was, it lacked the simple, intuitive elegance of other Toyota systems. Ease of use is subjective, however, and some time spent with the owner's manual should help even the technophobe feel comfortable in the car.
On the road: Want a jolt? Chug a Rock Star
Power from the 3.5-liter V6 was plentiful, and those reminiscing about big-block American engines won't miss their V8s. With 268 horsepower, the Avalon has no trouble merging onto the freeway or speeding away from a red light. Impressively, I got a combined fuel mileage of 24 mpg. It's mated to a five-speed automatic transmission with a manual shift feature. Shift shock, which is the harshness and vibration you sometimes feel when an auto tranny shifts gears, was evident, although it was able to find the correct gear every time. Given its bigger size, I was pleased with the Avalon's tight turning circle.
Not quite as impressive: important safety features like stability control, traction control and Brake Assist (which detects panic braking and assures full stopping power is applied) are pricey options on all trim levels. It's unusual to find a car with a base MSRP of over $30,000, as my LS-trimmed Avalon was, without these essential tools as standard.
Journey's End: Cannibalized by its own sibling?
Except for Nissan, Toyota makes the only other full-size Japanese sedan available for 2007, the new and opulent Lexus LS 460 (at twice the cost). Having driven the two back to back, I can say that the Lexus doesn't offer twice the bang for the buck. However, if you can give up a bit of space for your rear passengers, the Toyota Camry may provide a more cost-effective alternative. Vehicles like the Toyota Camry and Avalon may not the most exciting sedans on the road, but there's a reason why they've become some of the our most popular cars – a refined ride and a sense of well being that comes from driving a vehicle legendary for its reliability and durability.

Cornelius J. De Jong IV of Redmond appeared in King County Superior Court for the first time Monday. He has been in custody on $300,000 bail since the day after the Feb. 12 shooting that claimed the life of 20-year-old Claire Thompson, a Sammamish native who lived in Seattle.
Prosecutors allege De Jong acted recklessly when fired his .40-caliber handgun into a wall during a party in the 16800 block of NE 97th St. Thompson, who was sitting in the next room, was struck in the neck and died later that morning at Harborview Medical Center.
De Jong's attorney, Michael Iaria, asked Judge Nicole MacInnes for the defendant to be released on his own recognizance, saying he is not a flight risk because he lives with his mother and works for a family landscaping business.
"He's a lifelong resident of Western Washington, a lifelong resident of Redmond," Iaria said. "These are roots that run deep and broad, and he's not going to flee."
But senior deputy prosecuting attorney Kristin V. Richardson told the judge De Jong's experience with guns and prior alcohol-related convictions make him a risk to society.
"That combination together is a community safety risk," Richardson said.
MacInnes denied the defense's request for release, calling De Jong's alcohol history "significant." He has been found guilty of DUI, being a minor intoxicated in public, and two incidents of being a minor in possession of alcohol.
"If there were not alcohol involved in this, I would have a different perspective," MacInnes said.
A case-setting hearing has been scheduled for March 12.

Breaking Down the Headlines
"You can't make this stuff up," a headline recently read on the Flight Aware site in the UK.
Not true. You can make it up, as evidenced by a story about a so-called mishap aboard Air Force One.
The Flight Aware site was referring to an "article" written by Steve Miller, a one-time Las Vegas city councilman, former flight school instructor and current ezine writer of all things Vegas. Miller is also a longtime columnist for author Rick Porello's AmericanMafia.com.
Regular readers of Miller's ezines, titled "Inside Vegas," know that he occasionally enjoys lightening things up a bit. Not everybody, however, knew that about Miller the day after President Obama landed while aboard Air Force One at McCarran International Airport. On that October day, Miller's ezine headline blared:
50-pound slab of blue ice falls off Air Force One, narrowly missing Occupy Las Vegas protesters
Miller was able to get his satirical post onto the Las Vegas Sun's website by posting his blurb in a comment below a news article about the President's visit.
And the Canada Free Press, which periodically picks up pieces from Miller's ezine's, included the blue ice story on the front page of its site. That's when blogs and forums picked it up, complete with a Las Vegas dateline as if it were an AP wire story.
The thing is, it wasn't a real story at all, and it wasn't based on any facts. Miller had conjured it up. It was about as believable as scenes from the comedy film Airplane! Still, sites ran with it.
When Miller saw his story flying across the Internet, mostly posted by fringe media, he didn't follow up his post with another ezine. And when he was contacted by the media about the so-called story, no one, he said, asked if the story was true, so he didn't offer up that it wasn't.
Had those who ran it checked further, they would have learned that the runway on which Air Force One had landed wasn't the one cited in Miller's missive. In addition, Air Force one did not fly over the Occupy Las Vegas group, as Miller also stated in his story.
Here's how it ran, sourcing it from the Canada Free Press:
LAS VEGAS – A group of several dozen 'Occupy Las Vegas' protesters camping on Clark County land located under the final approach to Runway 19 at McCarran International Airport today narrowly missed being injured when a 50 lb. slab of 'blue ice'reportedly landed within feet of their tents.
Blue ice is the frozen material formed by leaks in commercial aircraft lavatory waste tanks, a mixture of human waste and vivid blue liquid disinfectant that freezes at high altitude. The ice generally dissipates long before the aircraft lands, but there have been documented cases of blue ice clinging to aircraft surfaces until the aircraft reaches warmer air on approach to landing, then the ice may separate from the aircraft and fall to earth. According to witnesses, the slab fell to earth seconds after Air Force One passed overhead while landing.
Clark County Director of Aviation Randall Walker was immediately notified and dispatched airport personnel to the campsite, but witnesses report that the blue ice had melted by the time officials arrived leaving only a smelly brown residue.
Walker told INSIDE VEGAS that he is personally investigating the incident, and will communicate his findings to the President's staff.
Miller recently 'fessed up and said he never spoke with Randall Walker and that there were no "witnesses" on the ground, as he'd originally claimed. It was satire, plain and simple. All in fun. But unlike The Onion, which on its satirical newspaper site makes it known that it's all a parody of actual news, Miller's ezine did not make that known.
Ah, yes, an early casualty in the decline of professional journalism: fact checking. Too many bloggers are spouting opinion masquerading as fact, and without the means, motivation or inclination, they don't bother to double-check facts. Apparently to be a journalist requires nothing more than a blog, posting poor summaries of other "news" with a link to the "source" (usually another blog with it's own sad summary and link to a "source"), and the ability to write at the grade 5 level.
To compound this, even sites that are supposedly using actual journalists, in the rush to scoop other sites, publish without independent verification. That, along with the lack of any sort of review for grammar or spelling, makes them no better than the blogs.
Do I maintain a blog? Yes, I do. Is it journalism? Am I reporting news? No. I simply offer my opinion, trying to find somewhat reliable sources of facts to back up statements I make. But I'm not a journalist. I'm not reporting news. At best, it is analysis. At worst, a misguided opinion. But I'm not a journalist and don't pretend to be one.
This reminds me of the reaction to Orson Welles, War of the Worlds radio program, though considerably less dramatic. When they don't fact check, and when bloggers have unclear boundaries about the type of blogs they write, confusion is inevitable.

Rochester, MA formerly of Danvers, MA — Mr. Kenneth B. Marshall, beloved husband of the late Elizabeth C. (Harrington) Marshall, passed away at home with his daughter Linda and granddaughter Kimberly at his side.
Ken was born and raised in Providence, R.I. and moved to Cape Cod and Rochester later. He wintered for more than 25 years in Myrtle Beach.
He was the son of the late James B. and Catherine G. Marshall and is survived by his only sibling, Bryce G. Marshall of Greenville, R.I., his daughter Linda L. Marshall of Danvers and Rochester, his granddaughter Kimberly A. Marshall of Rochester, his granddaughter Elizabeth DiCarlo Alvarado and husband, Eddie Alvarado, and great-grandson Blair DiCarlo Alvarado, all of Miami Shores, Fla., and grandson Marshall DiCarlo of New Bedford. He was preceded in death by his oldest daughter Donna J. (Marshall) DiCarlo and his great-granddaughter Isabella DiCarlo Alvarado.
He proudly served his country as a member of the United States Navy and for more than 36 years was employed by American Biltrite.
A shy man who became a Master Mason of the Mosaic Lodge A.F. & A.M. in Danvers he was also a member of the Aleppo Shrine Temple, the Weary Traveller's Club, Grotto and the Cawnacome Sunshine Lodge. He was an original member of the Holy Trinity United Methodist Church in Danvers and donated blood faithfully to the American Red Cross.
He loved just sitting outside with the ever present breeze off the pond listening to the latest genealogic info from Unk Bryce and doing never ending home improvement projects together. Feeding hummingbirds directly from his hand, reading many newspapers daily and doing suduko puzzles (in ink) all with his cell phone in his pocket even at 93 made him happy but nothing more than knowing his family was safe and happy. That was a "lottery win" in his world.
ARRANGEMENTS: His funeral service will be held on Saturday, September 14, 2013, at 11:00 a.m. at the Holy Trinity United Methodist Church, 16 Sylvan St., Danvers, Mass. Relatives and friends are invited. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ken's memory to: Children's Transportation Fund, Aleppo Shrine Center, 99 Fordham Road, Wilmington, MA 01887.

There are many screenwriting courses in Los Angeles. These are different.
I'm Adam Levenberg. I've run development for production companies and now I consult as a screenplay and book reader with top producers and actors.
Starting Saturday January 12th, I will be hosting two screenwriting classes at The Director's Playhouse. Each class runs six Saturdays and provides individual attention and group feedback for screenwriters who are learning the craft and trying to break into the industry.
$299 for six weeks. Register now.
10am CONCEPT WORKSHOP We'll be pitching concepts and advancing them each week, developing a 15 point structure into a 40 scene overview. We'll also be evaluating current Hollywood trends, analyzing fresh screenplays that have recently sold, examining the genre you're jumping into, and breaking down movie sequences. In six weeks, if you put the work in, you'll be ready to start on your first draft!1pm FIRST DRAFT LAB
Continuing students and those who have taken advanced courses will deliver a full 1st draft. We'll read and workshop scenes, review the progress you're making each week, and contribute feedback to each writer in the class. We'll also do many of the same activities as listed above because analyzing current films and covering trends isn't something you do for a few weeks and "learn". If you want to be a professional, you'll be doing this your entire career. Screenplay and scene selections will be selected based on what types of projects class members are currently writing.
THE STARTER SCREENPLAY covers everything I learned as an executive that is relevant to new and unrepresented screenwriters. I couldn't find this information in existing books, so I wrote my own! My courses at The Director's Playhouse take the information in this book to the next level.
THE STARTER SCREENPLAY is available in print and for Kindle through Amazon.com. You can also pick up your copy at The Director's Playhouse.

TestTube » Shows » Scam School » The Key Card
Effect: This card trick is quite possible responsible for more free beers than any other in history. It's not just a magic trick, it's a cleverly-laid trap guaranteed to win you a frosty cold one.
Here's how it plays out:
Your friend freely chooses a card and places it on top of the deck. You lose the card in the center by taking turns with your friend cutting the deck, then completing the cut. When both of you are confident that neither of you knows where the card is, you begin dealing the cards face up on the table. Long after your friend's card has been dealt face up on the table, you hold out the next card in the deck (which clearly can't be his card), and bet your friend that the next card you turn over will be his card. Since he can plainly see his card on the table, already turned up, he'll think you've messed up and that his victory is a sure thing!
However, imagine his surprise when you put the card you're holding back into the deck, and instead turn over his face up card on the table!
Secret: Before starting, know what card is on the bottom of the deck. For this explanation, we'll say it's the ace of spades. When you cut his card into the deck, the Ace of Spades will be right on top of it. No matter how many times you cut the cards, the Ace will always be on top of his card! When you deal the cards face up onto the table, notice which card comes after the Ace-- that's his card!

The bash, which was hosted by Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld, counted Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, Alec Baldwin, and Naomi Watts among the guests. Naomi, Cameron, and Jessica all wore Rag & Bone, which also served as a sponsor for the dinner. All the partying was for a good cause, as Baby Buggy helps raise money for families in need with young children. This isn't Cameron's first trip to the Hamptons this year as she also visited the tony Summer spot to film scenes for her latest project, The Other Woman, with Kate Upton and Leslie Mann. The trio has been shooting scenes all over NYC over the past few months, but they did get to escape to the Bahamas last week to film bikini scenes for the new flick.

FRANKFORT — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Matt Bevin on Tuesday gave yet another explanation for his signature on a 2009 letter to investors containing praise for the Troubled Asset Relief Program or TARP, saying it was applied digitally.
Bevin, the Louisville investment manager who is challenging incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, continues to be hounded by questions about the letter in light of his criticism of McConnell's vote for the TARP in the fall of 2008 when many thought the economy was hovering on the brink of collapse.
Tuesday, Bevin said his signature was applied electronically, though he never actually said it was done without his knowledge.
"It wasn't a signature," Bevin said. "It was a digital signature that was put on there as required by law. It was submitted electronically. They always are."
But an hour later, after attending a rally in the Capitol Rotunda by a group called Christians at the Capitol, Bevin simply said he signed all the documents.
"I've signed many documents as president and CEO as required by law," Bevin said. "I signed every single document that we were required to file. I did not write any of the investment commentary for any of them."
Bevin often criticizes McConnell for voting for the TARP. Then last week, John Bresnahan reported in POLITICO that Bevin signed an Oct. 28, 2009, letter to investors of Veracity Fund, of which Bevin was president and chairman of the board, praising governmental intervention in the financial markets.
"Most of the positive developments have been government-led, such as the effective nationalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the passage of the $700 billion TARP (don't call it a bailout) and the Federal Reserve's intention to invest in commercial paper."
The report was signed by Bevin and Daniel Bandi, chief investment officer and vice president for Veracity.

Puttergill, Julian Gatenby (1997) Dennett's compatibilism considered. Masters thesis, Rhodes University.
My basic concern in this thesis is to examine the details behind Dennett's attempt to reconcile the notions of mechanism and responsibility. In the main this involves an examination of how he tries to secure a compatibilism between mechanistic and intentional explanations by developing a systematised conception of intentional explanation. I begin by briefly discussing the various notions needed for understanding what is at stake in the area and where the orthodoxy on the matter lies. As such the first three sections of the work are not focussed on Dennett's work itself and playa stage-setting role for the deeper work to follow. These notions include the likes of the rationale behind attributing moral responsibility, agency and action, mechanism and mechanistic explanation, and intentional explanation. I suggest that the basic intuition regarding mechanism and responsibility is such that the two are seen to be incompatible with each other. The main reason for this lies in an intuition that mechanism undermines intentional explanation and so renders the notion of action largely empty. Action, I show, is at the heart of our attribution of responsibility and is dependent on intentional explanation. Having presented these issues, I turn to the details of Dennett's 'intentional systems theory'. I argue that Dennett attempts to avoid the intuition that mechanism is incompatible with responsibility by developing a specialised account of intentional explanation. Dennett calls it the intentional stance. r highlight the two important features of this intentional stance, namely rationality and intentionality. r show that Dennett's position on rationality and intentionality is such that it does allow him to secure an explanatory compatibilism between mechanism and his sort of intentional explanation. I argue, however, that his sort of intentional explanation does not fulfil our requirements for ascribing agency or moral responsibility. This is accomplished in part by developing alternative conceptions of the two notions. Out of this I develop a different sort of intentional stance, which I call the folk stance. I show finaIly that Dennett's compatibilist move is incapable of being applied to the folkstance from which we do in fact make attributions of responsibility, and so conclude thatDennett fails to make the case for reconciling mechanism and responsibility.

Santa and Mrs. Claus made their way to Baldwin Township on Sunday night to light up the Christmas season, and township resident Robert Snyder was there to capture images from the event.
The Clauses arrived at the ALDI parking lot at the intersection of McNeilly Road and Sussex Avenue at around 6 p.m. by way of a Castle Shannon Volunteer Fire Department truck. (Castle Shannon's firefighters service Baldwin Township.)
Residents from Baldwin and other surrounding communities gathered in the parking lot near a large township Christmas tree as goodie bags were handed out to children, who also posed for a picture on Santa's lap.
The Baldwin Township Business and Professional Association organizes the annual light-up night.
Snyder uploaded his pictures to the Baldwin-Whitehall Patch's Pics & Clips page. You, too, can add photos and/or videos to that page by clicking here.
