CHICAGO -- Jonathan Toews felt he had to stand up for himself, so he skated up to Joe Thornton, jabbed him with his stick and then dropped his gloves.
The Chicago Blackhawks responded to the rare fight for their captain. The sliding San Jose Sharks just went down again.
Marcus Kruger and Andrew Shaw scored during Chicago's strong second period, and the NHL-leading Blackhawks beat the Sharks 4-1 on Friday night for their fifth win in six games.
Dave Bolland and Niklas Hjalmarsson also scored for the Blackhawks, who remain the league's only team without a regulation loss. Jamal Mayers had two assists and backup Ray Emery made 27 saves for his fourth win in four starts this season.
"Everything was good tonight," Toews said. "The penalty kill was huge in the first period, with the big 4-minute penalty kill we had to kill. Big goal by Bolly after that, and I think that just set the tone for the night with that penalty kill."
The Blackhawks were forced to play a man short after Toews and Thornton got into it with about 4 1/2 minutes left in the first. The star centres locked up for a minute before Thornton dragged Toews to the ice and the linesmen skated in.
"He asked me to fight and I was kind of shocked," said Thornton, who became San Jose's captain in 2010. "I said, 'Sure.' That's how it went. He'd hit me from behind, but it wasn't anything serious. Then he just asked me to fight, so I obliged.
"Hopefully the guys could rally after it. They didn't, but we'll be back. What do you do? They want to fight, so sure, I'll fight."
Toews received 2 minutes for boarding, 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct and a 5-minute fighting major. Thornton got 5 minutes for fighting. But the Sharks were unable to take advantage of the resulting power play.
"There's always little things, players that are going to be chipping at you and trying to get under your skin," Toews said. "I think the rest is history right now. Like I said, I felt it was something I needed to do, stand up for myself, and I did it and glad I did it. I think it helped our team."
San Jose has dropped seven in a row after getting off to a 7-0 start. Three of the losses have come in a shootout or overtime.
Tim Kennedy scored his first goal of the season for the Sharks (7-4-3), and Antti Niemi had 33 saves against his former team.
"Tonight, let's face it: One team was fast, moved pucks, attacked," San Jose coach Todd McLellan said. "Another team bobbled pucks and misplayed them and was slow. Simple as that. We haven't been that way all seven games."
Each of the Blackhawks' first three goals came on rebounds, including an ugly gaffe by Niemi in the second period.
Bolland skated toward the goal in the final minute of the first and let loose with a low shot that Niemi stopped with his right leg. But the deflection trickled off Niemi's left arm and Bolland tucked it into the open net while the veteran goalie frantically tried to find the puck.
The Blackhawks increased the lead to 2-0 at 3:05 in the second, taking advantage when Niemi whiffed on Kruger's bouncing shot from just inside centre ice. The puck bounced off the inside of the right post and slid across to the left side, where Kruger shot it into the open net as Niemi turned around in a full circle.
After Kennedy got the Sharks within one, Jason Demers was sent off for roughing against Patrick Sharp and the Blackhawks made the most of the power-play opportunity. Shaw's first rebound try was stopped by Niemi, but his second attempt popped up and went in off the goalie's back to make it 3-1 with 5:20 left in the period.
The Blackhawks (11-0-3) outshot the Sharks 17-8 in the second.
"That gritty attitude is contagious," said Emery, pointing to Toews' fight in the first. "We have a very skilled team and guys who can put the puck in the net, but when guys are willing to fight for it, it adds to that other element."
The lone bright spot for San Jose was Kennedy's first goal since Oct. 22, 2011, against the New York Islanders. The 26-year-old forward took a pass from Logan Couture on the left side, skated in on Emery and went to his backhand for the pretty score 5 minutes into the second.
NOTES: The NHL record for a season-opening point streak by one team is 16 games by Anaheim in 2006-07. ... It was believed to be the first fight for Toews since December 2011, and the first skirmish for Thornton in about a year. ... G Corey Crawford is day to day with an upper-body injury, so the Blackhawks promoted Henrik Karlsson from Rockford of the American Hockey League to serve as the backup to Emery. ... Niemi helped the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup in 2010.

Yep, I remember. My fingers are crossed but I'm not holding my breath. By the time anything not yet announced would come out, it will be part of the Beast Hunters line, meaning it's likely to be covered in spikes etc. like the retools of the existing figures/characters are. I'm not saying that's a bad thing (I think the Beast Hunters Autobots look pretty cool myself), but it does mean that if I'm right, we still won't have a screen accurate version of Smokescreen as he originally appeared in the show.

Welcome to the Tale of 40k Painters 2011-2012!
What is the Tale all about?
The aim of the Tale of Painters is to get an army fully painted within the next 12 months.
For most 40k armies the size will be somewhere between 1000 and 2000 points, but you can go higher if you want to (and you're crazy enough)! AI, BFG and Epic armies will be slightly different, but as long as you choose an appropriate sized army for your game system then there's no problem.
Once you've chosen your army, your target is to paint roughly 10% of your army each month. For example, if you've chosen a 2000 point army then your monthly target would be 200 points. The Tale runs for one year (September 2011 to August 2012), so if you stick to your 10% monthly target then you'll only need to paint for 10 months of the year.
To cover the months when you can't/don't paint, you get 2 'Jokers'. You can play a 'Joker' at any time (provided you haven't used them both up!), which essentially means that you don't have to meet your target for that month. They can used for real life events (such as births, deaths, marriages, exams, holidays) or if you're just having a bad/slow month. If you play a 'Joker' then feel free to post a suitable image instead (of a Joker or something funny).
What is this thread all about?
This thread is for completed entries for last month (up until the 7th) and work in progress (WIP) for this month (from the 8th). Please only post completed work for last month until the 7th.
From the 8th, feel free to post any WIP pictures of what you're going to be painting this month, army lists, background stories, battle reports, questions, and comments on anyone else's posts. You can post as little or as much as you like in the thread, but please keep it WIP from the 8th of the month. Do not post any completed work for this month until after the next thread opens at the start of next month.
If you have not posted by the 8th of the month, then you will have to play one of your 'Jokers'. If you have failed to post by the 8th of the month and have already played both of your 'Jokers', then unfortunately you will be out of the Tale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q : Am I too Late? Can I still Join in?
A : No, you're not too late and can still join in! Just post in this thread stating which army and how many points you would like to paint, and I'll add you to the list in the second post. For example, if you wanted to paint 2k of Orks you would put 'Orks - 2000 points'. Please aim to paint at least 1000 points in total (or at least 500 points for each 'Multiple' army).
Q : Do I have to stick to just one army? #NEW#
A : No, you can paint more than one army if you want to! Quite a few people like to paint more than one army at a time, so if you fall into this category then just list each army you wish to paint when you sign up. 'Multiple' armies don't have to be the same size, but please aim to paint at least 500 points for each army, otherwise you're probably better off starting your own plog if you just want to paint lots of random things. For the purposes of 'Multiple' armies, As long as you aim for 10% of your combined total each month then it doesn't matter what order you paint things in. You could paint 10% of each army each month, or alternate armies each month, or 5 months of one army followed by 5 months of another army, or whatever combination best suits you.
Q : Can I paint more than 10% of my army in a month?
A : Yes, you aren't bound by the rules of the Tale, and it's great to get ahead. BUT, we would like you only to post 10% (approx) each month and try to stay roughly on track with 10% per month. For example, if you're painting 2000 points that means 200 points in month 1, 400 points by month 2, 600 points by month 3, etc. This way you won't depress those of us who are struggling to keep up.
Q : Can I paint less than 10% of my army in a month?
A : Yes, you aren't bound by the rules of the Tale, but we would like you to try to stay on track by painting more points in the next month to 'catch up'. For example, if you're painting 2000 points and you only painted 100 points one month you could try and get 300 points painted the next month. Equally if you paint more one month you can take it easy and paint less the next month.
Q : What happens when I paint an expensive character/tank/unit?
A : This happens a lot. If your character/tank/unit is over 10% of your army you could simply paint him/it/them over two months (the sort of time your general/tank/expensive unit deserves!). For example, one year my monthly target was 200 points and I painted a Stompa (600 points). I split painting the model into (roughly) 3 months of 200 points, posting new WIP shots each month.
Q : Do I have to play my 2 'Jokers' during the Tale?
A : No, you don't have to play them at all. If you can manage to paint/post for the full 12 months then congratulations, you'll have exceeded your target and truly embodied the spirit of the Tale!
Q : Can I 'buy back' my 'Jokers' during the Tale? #NEW#
A : Yes, you can 'buy back' your 'Jokers' during the Tale. If you have already played a 'Joker' and manage to get a month ahead (either by painting double one month or painting a bit more than your target for a few months), then just state in your entry for that month that you wish to 'buy back' your 'Joker' and I'll take it off for you.
Q : What's with the D6 roll in your post?
A : The D6 roll was an idea introduced to help ensure that everyone gets some comments on their work. If everyone rolls a D6 when they post (I use the [D&D dice roller] if I don't have a D6 to hand), then we should have six roughly equal groups each month. Then, if you comment on those people who rolled the same as you everyone will receive some feedback. So, if you roll a 1, comment on all of the other 1's, if you rolled a 2, comment on all of the other 2's, and so on. Of course, if you have the time/want to, there's nothing stopping you from commenting on anyone's/everyone's work.
I'll start off by posting my completed entry for last month. Feel free to copy my post to use as a template (edited to suit your army), but as long as you post your Monthly total, Total to date, Unit(s) painted and a picture then that's fine.
If anyone has any other questions, please direct them to misterboff (me).

- Apple would do better spending its cash
The tech giant should step out of the debate on taxation and into growth mode.
- Gold mining stocks: 10 reasons to be braveInvestors have an opportunity to buy these beaten-down shares on the cheap.
Bargain hunting gives silver a boost after a nasty dive in overnight markets. But worries about rising interest rates and a possible U.S. debt downgrade gives the metal a boost.
Had that level held, the result would have been the lowest price since August 2010. The sell-off was so extreme that the CME Group, which operates the New York Mercantile Exchange where silver is traded, halted trading in the metal four times overnight.
But silver -- and gold (-GC) -- surged in late trading, settling at $22.58 an ounce, up 23 cents. Gold, which had fallen to as low as $1,336.30, settled at $1,384.10, up $19.40.
Both were surging in electronic trading late Monday -- a signal perhaps that the metals have bottomed after severe slumps this year.
These companies are in the sweet spot of a major economic trend.
In this edition of Investor Beat: Yahoo spends $1.1 billion for Tumblr. Will the blogging service pay dividends for shareholders?
Even though she promised "not to screw it up," the Tumblr acquisition has some observers wondering if Yahoo paid too much. In our lead story, Motley Fool analysts Andy Cross and Jason Moser discuss the pros and cons of the deal -- and whether it will pay off for investors.
Both the incorrigibly unhampered DJIA and broader S&P 500 have been rocketing to record highs.
There hasn't been any "May Day" calamity this month, as many skeptics had predicted. Instead, the market's barometers have been climbing to multiple new highs. So it's been a downer for the believers in the "Sell in May and Go Away" market strategy.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has been incorrigibly unhampered, posting its 221st record closing high this year at a majestic milestone 15,354.40 on May 17. The broader S&P 500 stock index also climbed to another record, at 1,667.42, and the NASDAQ composite index soared to its highest close since October 2000 at 3,498.97.
Time to worry?
Stocks retreat this afternoon after hitting yet another life high earlier in the day.
Despite the promise of big-name stars, the paid hub launched with a series of lesser-known actors, indie filmmakers, girls in bikinis and other oddities.
On May 9, Google (GOOG) made its first attempt to persuade consumers to pay for content on YouTube.
Despite the promise of big-name stars and high-end content, YouTube did not launch its paid channels hub with the likes of Ashton Kutcher or Sofia Vergara, both of whom were expected to be on board.
AwesomenessTV, the popular teen and tween channel that was acquired by DreamWorks Animation (DWA), was also absent from the list.
Instead, YouTube's paid hub launched with a series of lesser-known stars, indie filmmakers, girls in bikinis and other oddities.
When it comes to efficiency gains, a watt saved is a watt earned.
The online business directory sees strong growth in mobile searches.
Our latest Top Ten list has an impressive crop of stocks with good stories and charts that have shown large recent buying power (usually on earnings).
Our favorite is Yelp (YELP), a relatively recent IPO that has a great, sustainable story, rapid sales growth and a stock that just exploded higher on earnings. The company is becoming the 21st-century, interactive version of the yellow pages.
Yelp is essentially the de-facto search engine that connects local businesses with consumers who are ready to buy. One study showed that just having a decent presence on Yelp can boost sales by about $8,000, with that number tripling if it's combined with marketing efforts.
Investors still clinging to the stock are looking to the company's founder and private equity shop Silver Lake Partners to complete their proposed buyout.
It shouldn't have come as a great shock to anyone that Dell's (DELL) fiscal first-quarter results, reported Thursday, were rather dire.
Or is the company engaging in some kind of devious and underhanded conspiracy to make its results look worse than they really are, and whip up support for a bid, even if it's not one that reflects the company's real value?
TJ Max, Saks and seven others report earnings, some following multi-year stock highs.
This week's earnings reports focus on 18 buy-rated stocks in the retail-wholesale sector. This profile is on the front nine, those scheduled to report Monday, Tuesday and pre-market on Wednesday.
On Tuesday I focus on the back nine, those reporting after the close on Wednesday through pre-market on Friday.
Let's call an earnings beat a birdie, a match a par, and a miss a bogey. Having an under-par round of earnings from buy rated retail stocks will be a key to sustaining the upward momentum in the overall stock market.
Among last week's earnings reports were five buy-rated stocks in the retail-wholesale sector. Three beat earnings estimates and two missed, so there were three birdies and two bogies.
These companies indulge our desire for instant gratification
Most recently, the big gig is smartphones like Apple's (AAPL) iPhone and Samsung's (SSNLF) Galaxy that put the world at our fingertips. They allow us to get email, check Twitter, snap photos and listen to music on a device we can keep attached to our hips.
Heck, just turn on the TV and you'll see countless ads selling same-day delivery services, five-day weight-loss plans and easy, microwave dinners.
For investors willing to bet against the crowd, these dogs could become tomorrow's darlings.
One of our favorite places to look for turnaround candidates is a list of the worst performers in a certain segment of the market. Because investor sentiment can change very rapidly, today's dogs often become tomorrow's darlings, and those who are willing to go against the crowd can reap significant profits.
Among the worst performers in the S&P 500 index since the market hit its lows last June are Apple (AAPL), F5 Networks (FFIV), J.C. Penney (JCP) and Monster Beverage (MNST).
To be sure, many of these stocks carry some risk. There are, after all, reasons why they have underperformed. But the market often overreacts to these risks, and if these companies can fix their problems their stockholders will be very handsomely rewarded.

Caution has clearly been the fool's way in this market.
You've been an idiot if you've sold almost any stock so far since the start of 2013. You've been a moron if you've been waiting for revenue to pick up before you've bought. You have been a fool if you've feared the Federal Reserve would act imminently.
You've been a total bozo if you've listened to President Obama about the crashing of the economy because of the sequester -- particularly if you've sold the defense names, which have been the best-acting stocks in the book.
In fact, the moves are eerie. It is as if there had been an edict that every stock -- other than gold stocks, a copper or an iron ore stock and maybe a few steels -- that everything has to go higher.
To me this speaks directly to the notion of underinvestment and the supply and demand of equities.
Bulls may be in control, but Wall Street will be watching for any sign of the Fed backing off its bond buying.
It's Monday and the S&P 500 is, again, sitting at an all time high of 1,667.47. CNBC predicted that the bulls will keep control this week, but the market will watch for any sign that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is considering drawing down the central bank's bond buying.
However, some technicians note that the market is looking parabolic as the upward slope of the rally is the steepest it's been since it began.
Early on Monday S&P 500 futures are down slightly to 1,665.07, while the euro/U.S. dollar was up slightly at 1.2864. Also in Europe,German 10-year government bond yields rose 3 basis points to 1.36%, and Italian 10-year government bond yields fell 2 basis point to 3.83%.
While analysts fret it's a one-trick pony, it's still churning out ideas that could pay off long-term. And investors are going along.

Web design attract me because of designing. I love designing and love to make new designs.

Web design attract me because of designing. I love designing and love to make new designs.
I got into it in 2005 when I volunteered to take over my diving club's web page.
Back then I didn't know the first thing about HTML or CSS, but once I started learning I couldn't stop.
I ended up completely redesigning my club's entire site, then realised I could make money out of web design, and I haven't looked back since.
How well do you know your JavaScript from your jQuery?
Check out SitePoint's latest JavaScript challenge
My blog
1. I was doing lots of graphic design stuff and started noticing the web in the late 90s, seemed obvious it was going to be around for a while and was worth learning how to build websites, got more enthusiastic as I realised how easy websites made it to reach out to people worldwide and find people interested in what you were doing etc.
2. Basically ditto, I love the international ease of it all, and am looking forward to learning HTML5 properly seeing some of the things that can be acheived, up until recently websites always felt pretty much like print graphic design on a screen, now they're using technology that much more to be their own medium.

i love to work at home and web-designing give me that opportunity and web designing is place where i can show my creativity that's why i love web-designing .
Friends and family.
How most things start to be honest
i got into it at uni when i was studying electronics (in 1998/1999) back then there wasnt much designing, so much as playing with html.
I started out building CD-ROM multimedia presentations some 10 years ago. It was a very long process until the final product was available to the end user. On web I love the fact that you can create and publish to the entire world instantly.
Nothing particularly actually. I started having fun in PS, ended up on learning html/css (dunno why, thought that was my next step after PS basics), bought few good books and that's it.
I still consider myself beginner, since I'm on it for maybe 6 months or so. Loving it from the start.
hmm, possible. But I don't think its hunger for knowledge in general, because I study economy/tourism(one more year and I'm done) at the moment and I'm not hungry at all.
In the meantime, notepad++ at home
Don't get me wrong, economy stuff is always good to know. But I think you don't need college for the things you really enjoy, and if you have the time to dedicate to it, why not.
My friends come home and play games whole day and I did that too two years ago but then I realized that you can do it all if u organize things better. You will feel much better too.
what is the most considerable thing in it , so that it can attract people .

I started designing web pages in my semester course, and want to get good marks and in competition with my friends, i done very well, my teachers appreciated me, later on I started studying further and practicing designing on Photoshop. I love to design, its my passion.
First of all my friend opened a website for me and it was kind like had for me to run that website without any knowledge on websites and design, this was my fast step into webdesign and up to now am still in the same thing, I gain experience day by day through forums discussions and searching.
having the need to create my own website
I started a cartooning diploma about fours ago. It soon dawned on me that i was trying to enter a highly competitive industry and looked at trying to promote myself better. Someone suggested that i create a website to showcase my cartoons. But because i couldn't afford to pay for one, i got myself and ebook on HTML off ebay and soon found myself hooked.
I needed an escape from my fulltime job.. doing some freelance webdesign for local companies gave me some confidence to be independent. But I'd like to move on to other things like app development.

Running a small family business 12 years ago (timber yard) I decided that we 'needed to be online'. I set about learning html, css and built our business a static html site.
I used that website as my learning tool, created it for the customer's use (NOT me as the designer) and it worked! I included prices, sizes, images, easy contact us forms and included technical specs that were 'end-user' readable. That first website I'm sure kept us in business for a few years more than had we not had a 'working' website. I often came out first page on Google for searches (early days then) and was proud of it.
From that very first website 12 years ago, by far the biggest thing I have learnt is that YOU HAVE TO BUILD A WEBSITE FOR THE END USER, not what YOU think is a good thing! It doesn't need to look pretty (it helps though) but it just needs to work!
I'm not a programmer, nor a graphic designer, nor done any university degrees or read books, (but boy I've done lots of searching websites online!!). I'm just a practical small business person - been there done that, love what I do and work damned hard to keep happy and appreciative clients. And they refer me on - that has to be a good thing! I NEVER profess to any of my clients however, to being anything other than I am - totally self-taught but practical and honest.
I build my client sites, host them, provide 24/7 personal service, travel heaps with my retired husband, (I love an online business!!) and love life!
I believe there are "probably" 2 sets of web people out there - the real nerdy ones who've done the uni, the courses, know all the coding and programming stuff, work for others, go home each night with a clear head, build fabulous sites for corporate and major companies, and then there's small business web folk like myself who prefer the small business end of town, been there done that, don't need the hi tech stuff but create sites that - quite simply - work. We also tend to work weird hours!
Both sides have their pros and cons (and I'm not knocking any of you hi-tech folk, you do great stuff) - where do you fit in?
1. I started a blog.
2. I love the creativity I get to use!

From the Feb. 6, 1941 News Record:
An item suitable fore the "Strange As It Seems" column came to light here this week. Two men, within five months of the same age, same color hair and eyes, approximately the same weight with the same name, yet no relation, discovered for the first time they would have to use their middle initial more often from now on. They are Howard Spellman of Spotted Horse and Howard Spellman, an employee at the American ranch, north of Gillette. The name is rather unusual, yet neither knew the other lived in this county until they were brought together last week. Each has a sister with the name Helen. A check-up of families for the past two generations revealed no relationship. Both are married and have no children.
From the Feb. 14, 1952 News Record:
In an effort to reduce vandalism the board of directors of the REA has posted a reward of $500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any person caught shooting or otherwise destroying insulators on the lines belonging to the association. Recently, one co-operative paid $225 to repair a broken insulator caused by a trigger-happy person with a rifle. In addition to the cost, it is the inconvenience to the patrons of being without power and lights. The REA says: "When you use a gun use your head. Don't sabotage vital electric equipment."
From the Feb. 1, 1962 News Record:
Sleigh riding by Gillette youngsters may now be enjoyed on a portion of Eighth Street, it was announced by Mrs. Harold Biggerstaff, president of the Community council. She stated that the city council has agreed to rope off Eighth Street between Ross and Gillette avenues on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and on school days from 3 to 5 p.m. when the snow is good for sleighing.

A year ago, the shutdown of several refineries serving the Northeast and the possibility they would not reopen threatened to boost New England's already high gasoline prices by as much as 15 cents a gallon. But an influx of cheaper crude oil extracted from shale rock formations in the United States has helped save most of those facilities and stabilized gas prices.
The revival of the East Coast refineries is another example of how the controversial drilling process known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is changing the energy equation for the region, nation, and world.
Oil is high because it is a highly fungible, world-traded commodity that Chindia is drinking up like crazy.
Even though our production is up and consumption flat to down, those two facts only go so far.
Actually, US oil, as priced on the NYMEX and delivered at the measuring point in Cushing, OK, has trailed Brent (European) crude by several dollars a barrel over the past few years, after previously trading almost identically in price for decades. It isn't much of a discount, but again, if oil were that much wildly cheaper in the US and Canada, even more would flow overseas than is already moving.
The major reason that oil prices are high is the devaluation of the US dollar by Ben bernanke and te Federal Reserve. QE1, QE2, QE3. Fed prints money and buys its own US Treasury bonds. It offers basically no interest loans to banks. It buys up worthless mortgaged-backed sucurities. This is all designed to induce (if not compel) people to buy stocks. That's why the stock market keeps going up...But the devalued US dollar causes Oil prices to rise because it takes MORE dollars (oil is priced in US Dollars) to buy the same quantity of oil...This is part of a general inflation that is already causing food prices, particularly grains to rise.....Don't know about the Federal Reserve? That's becasuse the Globe NEVER talks about it.
Obama will bow to the environmental lobby and kill the fracking Golden Goose if he can. So oil prices will stay high and Iran can still sell oil to pay for nukes. But when fracking is allowed on private property that the EPA can't regulate, Obama will take credit for its success.
This comment has been removed.
I get my "impressions" about oil drilling, fracking, and the EPA by reading articles from Financial newspapers like the WSJ, the Financial Times, even the Washington Post. ..On the other hand I get the WRONG "impressions" if I read anything from the AP, Reuters, Bloomberg News, Yahoo! News, or The Economist.
If what you mean by prices being stable is that they rise steadily -- then yes prices are "stable". But to assert that the more oil we produce here the lower our cost at the pump is a fallacy and counter-factual to ppb. The U.S. exported more gasoline, diesel and other fuels than it imported in 2011 for the first time since 1949 and yet the price at the pump has continued to increase not decrease. That's because price is based on demand -- global demand. It' why even if we allow The Keystone pipe to go online it's not going to assuage the price at the pump. So long as there is India and China to prop demand (U.S. demand has proportionally diminished) prices will remain high.
Umm. If its based on demand...increasing supply will lower cost. Or, in our case, as Ben devalues the dollar, it will decrease the growth rate.
For those of us paying, lower cost is good, and "lower than it could be" is better than nothing.
I hope you are suggesting, in any way, shape or form, that we would be better off price-wise if we weren't producing locally?
The problem with fracking is what it will do to the water supply and the costs that will after it is polluted. We've go to look beyond the tips of our noses. We depend on those we elect to protect all of us. Weak reeds? I suppose. But when our kids and grandkids are paying $10 a gallon for drinkable water, what will they think? But for some the question is, "What has posterity ever done for me?"
My grandparents' home is located next to a salt-dome shallow oil field drilled at the start of the 20th century.
The homes in this uncorporated village depended on water wells drilled for each home.
The water is heavily polluted with gases, salts, and other contaminants.
Thus, they hired Culligan to run the water through individually-designed water filters before it could be used for drinking, cooking, washing, etc.
It was an expensive operation for each family.
During the Clinton administration, the whole area was set up on a common water system and the water wells were a thing of the past.
My heart goes out to those people in Pennsylvania who live in rural areas surrounded by fracking wells.
They depend upon water being trucked in each week and stored in above-ground tanks.
This has to mean they must cope with constant water rationing while they wait for their next delivery.
Also, if they keep livestock, it must be doubly difficult and expensive.
I'm in support of them when they say there must be a better way to drill than this constant spoilage of the surface land.
A rightwinger says one thing, a progressive says another what is one who really wants the truth without an ideological bent to think? Fracing SEEMS awful to me since SO much ground water is polluted by it. People's taps catch on fire (NOT it seems to me a good thing), livestock die on farms around those companies that have bought out those farmers's land for a steal. The cancer rates go up, as do the pulmonary illnesses. These things one can see with one's own eyes. Fracking sounds FANTASTIC and for the US to be the premier producer of natural gas energy and it SEEMS absolutely dizzing wonderful but I suspect it is not so wonderful because getting at it is NOT safe. Nuclear energy and god knows oil is polluting, climate change awful and is NOT safe either. The lamestream media keeps these things out of the news. Those who are invested in power want this pipeline and fracing to proceed even newspaper men who should be the Fifth Estate but are not. What they are is WHIMPS who bow in the presence of the almightly buck.
So I say beware of the powerful with Trojan Horses who say they are gifts. They may not be gifts but may be your one way ticket OUT of this disgustingly polluted world for those who are not born into money and the power it brings. It will bring the rest of us and our children a way out and that will be in a coffin.

Desperate Housewives? by Cindy Sigler Dagnan I stumbled upon it during a recent fit of channel surfing, brought on by the unexpected delight of actually having sole possession of the remote control. There she was, this so-called housewife -- slick lips pouty with invitation (I'm guessing for all the hunky plumbers headed her way), elegantly upswept hair, silky bathrobe and —this was the kicker — no kids in sight. That was also the tipoff: She's an imposter! The producers of Desperate Housewives need to hire me to act as reality counsel for the producers. From the few minutes I saw, their idea of reality is, um, just a bit different than mine. In fact, the disparity made me laugh so hard I snorted my Diet Coke with lime up my nose. I put together this chart, should they want to attempt realism.
Desperate Housewives Want
Real Housewives Want
An egg white omelet, fresh fruit & dry toast for breakfast
A Snickers and a Diet Coke. Doesn't a positive and a negative cancel each other out?
A live-in maid
A monthly maid service discreet enough not to tell that they saw you throw everything in the dryer prior to their arrival so they wouldn't think your house was a wreck.
A personal exercise instructor
The ability to touch her toes without having a flabby tummy or post-nursing chest simultaneously touch her knees.
Weekly manicures
The hope that perhaps biting her nails while the residue of polish remover remains might also whiten her teeth.
Monthly pedicures
She'd be OK with those.
Occasional bikini waxes
No matter what they say about losing modesty after childbirth, she can't imagine paying a stranger to view her nether parts while invoking pain unless she was also paying them to extract an 8-pound child from her body. (Hey! There's an idea -- bikini waxes on the delivery table!)
Wildly fashionable coiffures
Mildly fashionable highlights to cover either a) the gray hair caused by reluctantly meeting middle age or b) the bald spots that result from pulling out hair after six consecutive snow days with multiple children under the age of 10.
Trendy clothing
Someone to help her locate the body she had that actually fit into trendy clothing; while they're at it, could somebody tell her who is running around with her neck?
Plastic surgery
A bra that lifts, separates and promises to permanently keep all pertinent chest parts pointing north.
A shallow marriage or an "easy" divorce
A 30th wedding anniversary with the guy she married. That wonderful man who is equally at home racing Hot Wheels with his son or having imaginary tea parties with his daughter. The man who can still make her heart race when his car pulls in the drive.
Come to think of it, that's quite a list. And there's nothing desperate about it. Cindy Sigler Dagnan is the deliriously happy, chronically sleepy wife of one wonderful man and mother of four girls She's the author of several books including, Hot Chocolate for Couples, (Harvest House).

Jan 12 2011
Download right click "save as"
The paper is based on the 3 rd and 5 th Alliance in Trafficking in Persons Conferences and aims to assist participating States to develop and implement national anti-trafficking policy in compliance with international obligations.
The analysis focuses on the specifics of labour exploitation, particularly the identification, prevention and prosecution of offenders with the final goal of preventing trafficking and bringing justice to victims.
The specific recommendations in this paper stem from the outcomes of the conferences mentioned above, as well as from the work of OSCE structures, NGOs, IGOs, national experts from the participating States and Partners for Co-operation.
They are organized in three main areas of action:
1. investigation, law enforcement and prosecution;
2. prevention of trafficking in human beings;
3. protection and assistance.

White Finger White finger, sometimes also termed dead finger, is one of the dangers of vibration based haptic immersion over an extended period of time. It derives its name from the colour the body part initially turns on the onset of this condition. It is caused by a loss of blood flow by prolonged exposure to vibration, the same as experienced with heavy machinery, and despite the name, it can occur on any part of the body. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

The X-finger currently retails for $10,000 US$ each piece, and does not rely on any form of robotics to articulate. It fits over the stub of an amputated finger, and the wearer simply pushes against a lever with the remaining portion of their finger, which sets the knuckles into motion. In May 2009, the Ishikawa Komuro Lab in Japan, demonstrated the capabilities that robotic manipulation of objects had reached. They had created a three-finger robot arm, with tactile sensors on its fingers, with each finger capable of independent 180 x 180 x 360 motion. All three were connected to a high-speed machine vision camera. The first of the Ahra series of robots was produced by KIST - the Korean Institute of Science and Technology - in 2005. This robot was identical in weight, height and body shape to the Mahru robots the institute also develops. However, there were some differences. Ahra's body was coloured orange and white instead of the blue and white of the Mahru series.

Another from Torside Resevoir. Messing around with HDR and trying to figure out some ways of getting a more natural image. Think this probably needs a little bit more TLC....but I have so many to edit that it'll probably stay as is. I'm interested in developing my blending techniques so if anyone knows any cool links...feel free to drop em in :D

I lost my father to cancer late last year. This was one of the last pictures I took of him while he was in reasonable health. I don't want to be too sombre but he is missed a HUGE amount.
If any of you out there happen to have your parents or children near you right now, why not give them a huge hug and a kiss this instant before the moment passes. Our time together is priceless. Make it count.
Love you Dad.

Here's a quick one for my very own +Candid Mood Tuesday theme. Taken on Saturday at Hollins Hall in prep for what looks set to be an amazing wedding. Themes mooted include Lord of the Rings and Queen Album covers....so watch this space, there could be some rather creative wedding photography cropping up in the near future.
I just love it when clients have a sense of adventure :D

I always do engagement shoots as part of my wedding photography package. It's a great way of getting to know the couple in a relaxed manor before their big day. You also get the opportunity to try new things out. In this case it was a couple of free presets I picked up from Totally Rad.
This one seems to help the laid back natural feel I was after :)

Wow - I really have got a bit out of the loop with my postings. I have been working a lot but family stuff really has been taking priority.
Anyway, enough of the excuses. Here's an image from a recent wedding I did for a fellow photographer (no pressure!) on their friends farm. I used a speed light, remote on the right through an umbrella and then had a little play in photoshop (can you tell). Great fun, as always...and some nice results :)

Ok so it's not #caturday just yet...but I'm out all day at a wedding tomorrow and just wanted to sneak this in; my crazy cool cat montage.
This is Teddy (looking kinda like Garfield at the front) and Dilly, who I featured last Saturday. The shot took about half an hour (seemed longer) to physically take and another hour to process. It would have been well worth the effort just for the Teddy's main pose at the front...still cracks me up...
Have a great weekend all!!

Look into my eyes...
Meet Dilly. This wonderful cat was one of two stars of a catty photoshoot that I did on Thursday.
This shot was taken during a quiet and very long minute when Dilly just stood and looked directly down the lens...without blinking. I swear she was looking deep into my soul!!
Anyway, my first post to #caturday +Christophe Friedli & +Lee Daniels .

It's a really simple shot but I tend to like my portraits that way :)

Raining a lot over here in the UK, but on the plus side we're getting some nice rainbows to boot. Here's a rainbow I found the other day...it was actually a double rainbow, and I was like, OMG what does it mean?...a double rainbow oh WOW!!
Hopefully some of you will get the reference...the rest will have to assume that I'm slightly mad. I'm happy either way...I mean I saw a full double rainbow....
BTW I know this looks like a single rainbow....but you'll have to take my word for it...it was double, and it was full ;)

Been doing quite a lot of walking, trying to gear my self up for a bit of proper exercise...because I've only gone and put my name down for a half marathon...aaaaargghh!! Anyway, apart from making me feel totally out of shape, the exercise does have it's perks. Every now and again I stumble upon the odd view.
A quick snap from Woolley, South Yorkshire.

Taken maybe a minute after the image below. Black and white seems to work much better on this edit...and you get a better idea of scale here. Emley mast, bottom left is so big that it can be seen on the landscape for miles around, and it's so high that it often breaches the clouds....and yet here it is dwarfed by drama above...
2012-07-04 15:25:14 (8 comments, 1 reshares, 21 +1s)
Just driving home from a wedding on Saturday and just had to get out of the car and take some more pictures, the light was unbelievable...that takes a bit of doing when you've been clicking away for ten hours solid I can tell you! Worth it though.
This is Emley mast, Yorkshire.

When we prove ourselves proficient or exemplary, we should be rewarded accordingly. Teachers who fall short should have the opportunity to improve through a time-limited support plan. What good is a teacher who consistently receives poor ratings? And what good is a system that doesn't help struggling teachers improve?
Teaching isn't an easy job, and - like people of all professions - we occasionally have bad days. But we deserve a system that motivates us to do our best. If our job security depends on our performance, then we need to prove that we have what it takes. Otherwise, we are failing our students and our schools - and our profession is failing us.
Regardless of how many years I have under my belt, I will continue to feel this way. I will continue to want teaching to be respected as a profession of highly skilled individuals. High standards are the way to achieve this. If I stop aiming for excellence, if my students stop growing and achieving in my classroom, I'll know my time as an educator is up.

The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is an ultra wide-angle zoom lens with dynamic expressive capability for all EF-S mount digital EOS cameras, exceptionally small and lightweight for maximum mobility.
With an effective focal length range of approximately 16-35mm in 35mm format, this lens allows you to get extremely close to subjects, exaggerating the difference in size between a near object and its background. Creative photographers can use this phenomenon to create excellent separation between subject and background for a strong sense of presence, or for a pan-focus effect with everything from foreground to background sharply in focus.
Designed specifically for digital photography, the lens has specially shaped lens elements and Super Spectra coatings to suppress ghosting and flare, which can be caused by reflections off digital camera sensors. An exclusive optional lens hood can further reduce the incidence of flare.
Note: Not suitable for 35mm film SLR cameras, or for 35mm size "full-frame" digital cameras, e.g. 1Ds or Kodak Pro SLR/c.
Note! Not suitable for 35mm film SLR cameras or digital camera with image sensor bigger than APS-C size, only fits on the EOS Digital Rebel series or 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D, and 7D SLR cameras.

LAXO. The multifunctional chair. Designed by me.
Posted: March 21st, 2011 | Author: Anthony Weston | Filed under: LAXO Chair, Projects | Tags: black gloss, chair, contemporary, design, design process, designing a chair, furniture, Laxo, multifunctional chair, stackable chair, Vitra, Vitra Laxo | No Comments »Chairs, do you ever think twice about sitting on one? About what it looks like, how it functions and if its comfortable or not, and to be honest, most of us wouldn't give a scooby because we have bigger fish to fry in this world of ours.
However there comes a time and place for such an interest. For some odd reason I have a big desire to design my own chair, not quite sure why; I just know I wanted to design my very own chair. So when we had a chance to write our own brief, I leaped at the chance of designing one. I wanted to pay particular attention to multifunctional chairs, the type you would find in a contemporary environment.
The brief
"The furniture company Vitra is looking looking to introduce a range of multifunctional chairs that can easily be implemented into domestic or commercial environments. The chair must be mass produced in high volumes and must also be stackable. The chair must have a distinctive contemporary appearance which promotes a shape that ensures freedom of movement."
The images above and below show a few snapshots of the design process and the final outcome, which I have taken from the project. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment.

I'm posting this in the GT forum, despite my reservations, because this is very much "Traditional Theology". But, i've been thinking about something for a while, and it has a bit to do with my thesis, and this has actually been consuming more of my time than my Thesis. Hans being in town to visit me really helped me think through this a bit, and I realized something the other night about when this made sense to me. So... here we go.
A pastor/professor would always use this term, "A Christian Ontology". It always bothered me because I couldn't help but think that so much orthodox thought is predicated upon an assumed Greek philosophy which, itself, isn't necessarily that bad. Instead, I just felt it was impossible to call any "ontology" a "Christian" one because really we're just talking about theology in light of some assumed philosophy, whichever one we pick.
Then, I saw this movie, Of Gods and Men. In it, there is a scene where the monks partake of a "last supper", where one of the monks reads an article, in the form of a sermon, to the other monks. In it there is a line about the fact that embracing weakness and forsaking the idol of power gives witness to reality, the reality of Christ. When my internet stops being so terrible, I'll find it.
There is a "Christian Ontology". It is not any particular philosophy, but it is a belief in a fundamental reality, and a fundamental understanding of history which turns everything else upside down.
We talk about a lot of things as though they're "reality", and this tempers our statements about theology and other things because we desire to make sense of "reality". Just the other day I was told that hopefully my pacifist inclinations would temper when I came to terms with "reality" (aka grew older and had children).
However, a Christian Ontology is the understanding, from the point of faith, that history is contained in a 33-year time period, and began when "The Word became flesh". "Reality" is Jesus Christ, incarnated, crucified, and risen. This is reality, and everything else competes, in varying degrees, with this reality. To be a Christian is to be baptised into this reality, and to understand the world around us in light of this reality, calling others to participate in this reality with us. Thus, our eschatological hopes are not hopes for what God "will do", or "will accomplish", but are instead hopes that reality will be revealed.
This gives a different meaning to the term "martyr." To be a "martyr" is to be a witness to one's faith through death. What we are a "witness" to, when we die for our faith, is the fundamental reality of the world - that Christ has come, Christ has died, Christ is risen, and Christ is Lord - and that all attempts at control and power in the world are a farce.
This way of talking changes everything. It changes our language. It changes the way the world looks. Now, pacifism is automatically "martyrdom", because to die in faithful obedience to the way of Christ is to witness to reality - Christ has risen from the dead and is Lord - and is to resist attempts at control and power.
This also begins to make our "good news" make sense. The "good news" is that the world as we understand it - pain, suffering, sin, death - is not reality. This is why we meet each Sunday for the liturgy, to experience and be reminded of reality and to receive water to quench our thirst from the desert of the world, and to receive forgiveness for our participation in the false reality of the world, and for the times in which we were tempted to believe it was true.

According to the Huffington Post, actor Danny Glover said that the Second Amendment was written to protect against slave insurrection at a Martin Luther King Jr. event at Texas A&M, Jan. 17. A conservative student group is launching a petition against the schools leftist bias.
I dont know if you know the genesis of the right to bear arms, Glover said. The Second Amendment comes from the right to protect themselves from slave revolts, and from uprisings by Native Americans. So, a revolt from people who were stolen from their land, or revolt from people whose land was stolen from, thats what the genesis of the Second Amendment is.
