New Nook HD and Nook HD+ How the Nook HD/HD+ Stacks Up Against the Kindle Fire HD by POPSUGAR Tech 9/27/12 0 Reactions 9 Shares Print 0 1 8 0 0 Barnes & Noble is playing with fire — Kindle Fire. On the heels of Amazon's Kindle Fire HD announcement, the brick-and-mortar book retailer introduced the new Nook HD and Nook HD+ this week, boasting the "world's highest-resolution display on a seven-inch media tablet" and the "lightest, lowest-priced full HD tablet" on the market. Barnes & Noble's new offerings — the Nook HD 8GB ($199), Nook HD 16 GB ($229), Nook HD+ 16 GB ($269), and Nook HD+ 32 GB ($299) — are available for pre-order today. Both the Nook HD/HD+ and Kindle Fire HD include Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support, run on a custom Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, and are tapped into massive selections of books, magazines, and video. So what sets the latest contestant in the tablet competition apart? Here are eight distinctions between the two competing high-definition tablet ereaders. Start What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Slightly taller and thicker — The new Nook HD is 7.65 x 5 x 0.43 inches (HWD), versus the Kindle Fire's 7.6 x 5.4 x 0.4 inches. 1 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Higher-resolution display — The Nook HD 1440 x 900 display bests Kindle Fire HD's 1280 x 800. 2 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fewer bytes for your buck — Both priced at $199, the Nook HD comes with 8 GB capacity compared to the Kindle Fire's 16 GB capacity. 3 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lightest in its class — The Nook HD+ is a lightweight at 11.1 ounces, whereas the hefty Kindle Fire HD comes in at 13.9 ounces. 4 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 No camera — The Kindle Fire HD has a front-facing camera, while neither the Nook HD nor HD+ have a camera on board. 6 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Fewer apps — Amazon's app store holds over 50,000 applications for Kindle Fire, and Barnes & Noble's app store has a mere 6,000. 6 / 7 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Free power adapter — This may seem like a given, but the Kindle Fire HD does not come with a power adapter to charge the device; it must be purchased separately.

The news here in Quebec – and in many other parts of Canada – has been flooded in the past few weeks with stories about the newly-proposed Charter of Quebec Values. Formally announced on Tuesday, September 10 (although some details had been leaked a couple weeks prior), the charter, if eventually passed as law, would prevent people working in the public sector from wearing "conspicuous religious symbols," including headscarves, face veils, kippas, turbans, and large crosses. Framed as a way of ensuring a secular and religiously neutral state, the charter would apply to jobs including civil servants, teachers, professors, judges, police officers, daycare workers, healthcare workers, and many others. For those wanting to know more, this article gives a good overview of what the charter would and wouldn't do, and this translation of a Manifesto for an Inclusive Quebec is a good summary of the main things with the current proposed charter. It is currently open for "consultations" (defined in a pretty flaky way; you can call them or leave a message on their website), and the government has announced that it will be formally proposed as a bill in Quebec's provincial parliament sometime this fall.
It took me a few days to think through this enough to write anything at all that wasn't full of ranting and raving. I have a bunch of thoughts about this, but to be honest, my main reactions are anger and frustration. This policy, if it becomes law, will have huge material impacts for a number of minority groups in Quebec, while reinforcing narratives that privilege only one group as the "we" of Québécois identity, and increase suspicion and marginalisation of Muslims and other minority religious communities. By some accounts, this has already started; one woman was recently verbally harassed for wearing hijab, and her son was spat on and hit. This is not to say that Quebec – or anywhere else in the rest of Canada – was perfect before this charter was proposed, but the news is nonetheless infuriating and incredibly discouraging to those of us living here.
But here's my attempt at an actual analysis – with pictures, because apparently we're all about visible symbols in Quebec these days. [Read more...]

Though it is not easy for wheelchair users to navigate the subway system, an advocacy group has given the Metropolitan Transit Authority a list of ideas on how that task can be less of a burden for such riders. NY1's Jose Martinez filed the following report.
You hop on. You hop off. It's easy.
For wheelchair users like Edith Prentiss, however, moving around by subway, especially getting on trains, is a tall order.
"You can't pop a wheelie in this thing," said Prentiss.
Prentiss is a member of the New York City Transit Riders Council, an advocacy group which on Thursday released "Bridging the Gap," an 84-page report that calls on the MTA to tighten the gap between trains and platforms by installing more raised platforms for riders on wheelchairs.
"What we take for granted because we can walk is certainly not the case for a passenger using a wheelchair," said Andrew Albert from the NYC Transit Riders Council.
The Riders Council examined more than 90 stations that are accessible to riders with disabilities, finding 20 of them that have gaps between trains and platforms measuring three or more inches.
"Their wheels can get stuck, and they lose confidence in the system out of what ends up happening when they try to de-board the train," said Ellyn Shannon from the Permanent Citizens Advisory Committee.
That's a sinking sensation Prentiss knows well.
"You're on a roller coaster and the straight drop! That's the sort of sensation," said Prentiss.
Her subway travels have made Prentiss an expert on where to board, which subway stations have reliable elevators and the dimensions of subway cars that have steeper drops onto the platform.
Sure she could line up a car or bus ride through the MTA's Access-A-Ride program, but Prentiss says she simply prefers the subway, even with all its challenges.
This preference has also sharpened her opinions about what the agency needs to do.
"They need to raise the platforms, they need to get better about where they stop the train, they need to have fewer types of cars," said Prentiss.
Ninety-nine of the MTA's 468 subway stations are currently accessible to those with disabilities, and the agency says it is finalizing designs that will allow it to make many of the improvements called for by the Riders Council.
The agency says five more stations should be accessible by next year, with 15 more in the design or planning stages.

So what do you need for this? As you know I moved in the south and there are tons of old trucks, cars, and some jeeps. I see some mid 60's truck around here as well. I'm not saying for sure but I could check it out for you. Let me know what your looking for!

I found a decent frame three hours away for $400 - I'm just thinking of how sweet a custom frame would be. Plus, I think it opens up a lot more front suspension options for me. |

GLFWDA Member #07520
77-87 frame is "bent" in all the wrong spots - once you get the cab mounts to work out, the truck looks like a 4wd with how high it sits. Frames newer than 72 require *lots* of work.

Well just remember I'm in NC and there is lots of older cars and trucks around here. Google Food Lion Auto Fair at Lowes speedway, heaven for car guys! Two times a year spring and early fall, more cars, trucks, and venders than I have ever seen at one place. I know somebody you could stay with!!

I think I do have better time managements skill that you do, but I'm sure that comes from the choices in my life I've made. You seem unfazed by the sheer awesome at hand, so let me point out the progress that happened last night: This: to This: And, before you think I spent too much time and neglected family (and this is an excellent example, BTW), here is a summary of "my yesterday": Work from 6am to 4:30 (we're expected to put in casual O/T) Home by 5pm (did I mention my wife and I commute together? We get an additional hour/day most couples don't get) to make dinner for my BIL & friend -visiting from Moscow- They arrive @ 6, we eat & chat till 7:30. I head to the garage while they catch up - in Russian, so I can't follow unless they talk really slow - better to get shit done on the truck. Put the frame on jackstands and cut the rear suspension out in about 20 minutes. It was mostly burning through rivets or coilsprings, so it was fast. On the front, I'm not sure what front suspension I will use and don't want to kill the crossmember, so I unbolted that. Burned through the idler arm and pitman and rolled the whole assy out the garage door. I was finished by 9pm, saw the guests off by 9:15 & showered by 9:30. Made a dish to pass for a holiday luncheon today and farted around online till a little after 10pm. I basically parked a running, driving truck in the garage two weeks ago and now have it down to the bare frame. Forgot to mention that I've been cutting and splitting wood for the winter season alongside this project. My god, I'm awesome. I need to look into getting my dick bronzed. |

The glass ain't half full
The clock just struck twelve
Not easy to understand what time ya leave
The last man he probably wondered the same
The past is on the phone
New roads don't pave themselves
Go find your vegetarrian,
For who am I to doubt
Don't leave a note or feed the cat
And shoes don't fall you now
But I'll never buy
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/chevelle-fizgig-lyrics.html ]
I woke up with nothing left
But an empty look and bitter taste
My line of good judgment just happened to changed
That last chance of freedom just suddenly played
We'll never meant you torture
But I don't care that much
I'll go find my Pescetarian
For who are you to doubt
Won't leave a note or steal the cat
And shoes don't fall me now
I'll never buy your bad advice
So full of life and bad and bad
Who are you, ya little devil
I'll never buy your bad advice
So full of life and bad and bad
I'll never buy your bad advice
O full of life and bad and bad

'Suits' resumes
Philippine Daily Inquirer
"Suits" returns to Philippine television for its third season on July 31, 8 p.m., via JackTV.
In the drama series' first season, lawyer Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht) took brilliant dropout Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams) under his wing. Since the young man had lied about having a law degree, he and his mentor live in constant fear of being exposed.
Season 2 ended with Jessica Pearson (Gina Torres) pushing forward plans to merge with a UK law firm headed by Edward Darby (Conleth Hill), much to Harvey's consternation.
Not one to go down without a fight, Harvey tried to sabotage the merger, resulting in Jessica using Mike and his secret to get her way.
Paralegal Rachel Zane (Meghan Markle) confronted Mike, who was pushed to admit that, in fact, he never graduated from Harvard. This led to an intense encounter between them.
At the start of Season 3, each character must deal with the fallout of their actions. There is tension between Mike and Rachel, between Mike and Harvey, and between Jessica and Harvey.
Rachel, who aspires to be a lawyer, must deal with the fact that it is Mike who is living her dream life, though he hasn't earned it. Will she manage to stay quiet and keep his secret, or will her ill will cause her to push Mike to reveal the truth?
(JackTV is seen on SkyCable Channel 51, Global Destiny Ch. 30 and Cable Link Ch. 36.)

The tree is decorated, the cookies are baked, and the packages are wrapped, but the biggest celebration this Christmas is Gaby Summerhill's wedding. Since her husband died five years ago, Gaby's children have drifted apart, each one preoccupied by the turbulence in their own lives. They haven't celebrated Christmas together since their father's death, but when Gaby announces that she's getting married-and that the groom will remain a secret until the wedding day--she may finally be able to bring them home for the holidays. But the wedding isn't Gaby's only surprise--she has one more gift for her children, and it could change all their lives forever. With deeply affecting characters and the emotional twists of a James Patterson thriller, THE CHRISTMAS WEDDING is a fresh look at family and the magic of the season.

Spurs farm out Townsend to Leeds
Leeds have completed the signing of Tottenham winger Andros Townsend on loan until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old will go straight into manager Simon Grayson's squad for Monday's home clash with Burnley.
Grayson told the club's official website: "Andros is a quality young player with proven experience at this level and we're delighted to be able to bring him to Leeds."
London-born Townsend, who joined the Tottenham academy as a nine-year-old, has represented England at Under-16, U17 and U19 level and has had previous loan spells at Yeovil, Orient, MK Dons, Ipswich, Watford and most recently at Millwall, for whom he made 11 appearances at the end of last season.
Townsend has featured for Spurs six times in the Europa League this season and also against Stoke in the Carling Cup.

Lets say you have a website, that uses a function to retrieve data from the database and returns the result to be displayed/parsed/etc...
Since the data that is retrieved from the database is dynamic and could potentially change every second of the day, how do you properly write a Unit Test for this function?
Let's say the function is supposed to return an array of results. Obviously a unit test could test to see if an array is returned or not. But what happens when the contents of the array itself are incorrect due to an incorrectly written MySQL query? The size of the array could be zero or the content of the array could be incorrect. Since it relies on ever-changing data, how would the Unit Test know what is correct and what isn't? Would calls to the database from within the Unit Test itself be necessary so there is something to compare it to?
How do you properly write a Unit Test for functions that rely on dynamic data?

Fiberglass and carbon pultruded and spun poles are gaining worldwide acceptance.
Composite material is rapidly gaining acceptance for the fabrication of poles and crossarms throughout the utility industry. This technology is considered cutting-edge, avant-garde and ultramodern by much of the industry, but the fact is, it has been on the grid for 50 years. As with other technologies on the intelligent grid, the materials science took a while to catch up with the theories and ideas of the people working in the industry. But again, it has been on the grid for half a century.
The first composite poles were a fiber-reinforced polymer design. Installed on the Hawaiian island of Maui in the early 1960s, the poles were fiberglass and designed as a solution to wood-pole degradation and steel-pole corrosion problems. The problems were caused by the warm, moist, salt-air environment. These fiber-reinforced polymers lasted about 45 years before being replaced. Equally important is the fact they were replaced for "fiber blooming" problems, not for structural reasons.
Blooming is caused by ultraviolet rays, which can cause the resin surface to break down, exposing the fibers. Remember, these were first-generation poles. They did not contain any of the modern ultraviolet inhibitors or veils so common today, but even so, they performed very well.
Advancing Materials Science
Composites are made from thermosetting resins and some form of fiber reinforcement. The resin is combined with fiber and cured into a solid laminate. Resins come from six major family groups: polyester, vinyl ester, acrylic, epoxy, phenolic and urethane. Several fibers are available for reinforcement, with the most common being Kevlar, carbon and glass. Of these, glass is the most common because of its low cost and high strength.
One of the biggest material breakthroughs was the development of specialized polyurethane resins. This material makes a composite pole extremely strong and environmentally inert, and no styrenes are used during the manufacturing process. Not using toxic chemicals is a big plus at a time when environmental issues are attracting a lot of attention from regulators and the public in general.
There are two methods for fabricating composite poles commercially in use: pultrusion and filament winding. The pultrusion process pulls fiber through the wet resins and then through a heated die. After curing, it is then cut to standard lengths. The pultrusion process is used by manufacturers such as Strongwell, Powertrusion International Inc. and Duratel, offering a wide selection of poles.
The filament winding process pulls the fiber through the wet resins also, but then wraps the wet resin-rich fiber around a mandrel where it sets up. Fabricators have developed systems to allow the mandrel to wind the fiber circumferentially, axially or some combination of both. The filament process is used by manufacturers such as Utility Composite Solutions International Inc., RS Technologies Inc. and Shakespeare Composite Structures to make their poles.
A white paper from Utility Composite Solutions estimates the U.S. market for distribution poles is approximately US$9 billion. The report estimates that about 3.6 million distribution poles (mostly wood) have to be replaced each year. In addition, about 2.4 million new poles are added annually. The present U.S. manufacturing capacity for composites is about 20,000 poles annually. This is a huge potential as composites gain utility acceptance.
Composites have a lot going for them. They are extremely lightweight (about two-thirds the weight of steel, one-third the weight of wood and one-eighth the weight of concrete). They also are smaller in diameter compared to wood. In addition, composites do not lose strength over their lifetime. In other words, they have great resilience.
"The small footprint and lightweight design of Duratel composites allow easy installation in areas ranging from remote wilderness to congested backyards," said Ted Fotos, senior vice president of manufacturing and sales for Duratel. "This can be very important for storm restoration."
Several Gulf Coast utilities are exploring this aspect to develop a quick-response method for hurricane-damaged distribution circuits using composites.
Another feature gaining attention is that composite poles, although not fireproof, are fire-resistant. Add a coating of fire retardant, and they become very attractive to utilities with service territories containing brushy terrain, forests or combinations of both. Tests have been made using the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection's fast-moving brush-fire test.
In this test, composite poles are subjected to a propane flame for a specific time and temperature. They only ignite when the flame is directly applied. As soon as the flame is removed, they stop burning or smoldering; they are self-extinguishing. Composite poles have passed the test both in the lab and the field. The industry can expect to see this feature becoming more important in light of the 2011 fire season.
Composites' strength ratings also can be customized to match a utility's specification. If the utility wants a single- or double-pole configuration, that is not a problem. It can be either tapered or non-tapered. This saves the utility money by not having to purchase more pole than is needed for the job.
Modular Poles
Another innovation from composite pole manufacturers is the modular pole system. This allows for a wide range of composite pole lengths and strengths to be made from a small number of standard pole sections, much like sectional steel poles.
Also, like sectional steel poles, the modules are joined by being winched together with come-alongs or chain hoists until the joints are tight. This gives a utility a tremendous benefit. They can purchase and stock various pole modules rather than specific pole lengths and classes. Because of the design, smaller-diameter modules can be nested, or stored, inside larger ones, which require less storage space in the warehousing area.
"Composite modular poles are gaining a great deal of interest both domestically and internationally," said Galen Fecht, director of business development for RS Technologies. "RS has supplied a Norwegian utility with RS modular poles for the first phase of a transmission line — 170 poles. The Norwegians are also very interested in the fact that composite poles do not leach hazardous chemicals into the ground the way treated wood poles do."
Thinking Outside the Box
The fact that composites poles are hollow has not been missed by innovative thinkers. It solves several problems plaguing utilities. For example, Southern California Edison (SCE) reports that, on a line where wood poles were damaged, they had broken off 5 ft to 8 ft (1.5 m to 2.4 m) above grade and had to be replaced. SCE inspected the stubs and determined they were fine. The stubs were cut to a specific length. Hollow composite poles were installed over the stubs. Through bolts were used to secure the pole to the stub, and a closed-cell foam was injected to fill the void between the pole and the stub. SCE reports that significant savings were realized with this restoration process.
Duratel's Fotos said, "Utilities are using Duratel composite poles for siting wireless, cellular, satellite and radio antennas, devices and dishes. Since the pole is hollow and non-metallic, these devices and all their wiring can be located inside the pole. This puts the installation out of site to the public. These poles have been engineered to operate seamlessly with wireless and cell signals. Utility poles can now become revenue-generating conduits that provide universal, affordable and attractive access to the Internet."
There also are many applications that require utilities to run a copper ground wire up a pole. In today's troubled economy, copper theft is a growing problem. By installing the copper wire inside the composite, utilities have seen a reduction in copper theft. It is a case of out of sight, out of mind.
"Modular poles are more versatile than single-length, single-strength poles," said RS Technologies' Fecht. "In the event of an emergency, the utility can mix and match the modules in inventory to create a pole of virtually any length and strength required. This is a big plus and gives the utility an immediate range of pole-replacement options, which is critical during a system outage where downtime is measured in minutes."
Total Cost of Ownership
Despite all these benefits and extras, utilities are reluctant to deploy composites. Composite poles typically cost more upfront — up to twice the cost of wood poles — for distribution application; however, the price delta diminishes significantly with larger transmission-sized poles. Since many utility purchasing departments are focused on low price and not total life-cycle cost, this is one reason why composite poles are not deployed.
If a cost-benefit analysis is performed, a more complete picture of the total cost of asset ownership becomes apparent. Composites have a longer life span. Installation costs are lower because installation is quicker, and usually only light-duty equipment is required.
Maintenance costs are another evaluated cost, and they are lower for composite poles. There are arguably no maintenance costs for composite poles. These factors all contribute to an overall lower total cost of ownership, but all that is lost when the only purchasing criteria is lowest price.
To appreciate the real evaluated costs versus low first cost, compare the life span with the purchase price. Based on accelerated life testing, the service life of a composite pole is approximately 70 years, which is about twice the life of a wood pole, assuming that factors such as insect infestation, woodpeckers and wood rot do not end the wood pole's service life prematurely.
The utility would have to buy at least two wood poles to reach the equivalent life span of a composite pole, but that is only part of the cost. The utility would have to pay removal costs for the first wood pole and installation costs for the second wood pole. There is also the issue of periodic inspection and chemical treatments of the wood pole. The composite pole does not require chemical treatments and may only need minimum inspections over its life. And that is only one factor in the typical evaluated cost analysis.
Utilities and Composite Poles
There has been a lot of composite pole activity in Canada for transmission rated lines. Great Lakes Power has installed roughly 300 RStandard poles for H-frame construction for its 230-kV transmission system.
BC Hydro has a research and development (R&D) project testing composite pole configurations on its system. It has installed about 90 RStandard composite poles on lines at various voltages. BC Hydro is sharing part of its R&D effort through a video the company recently posted online (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnc4HpDsyqY). The video shows the installation of a composite H-frame structure based on its 287-kV transmission line requirements.
Janos Toth, BC Hydro R&D project manager, said, "BC Hydro is committed to investigating how composite poles' technology can be applied to engineering and asset management challenges."
In the United States, Ameren has installed hundreds of Duratel composite poles systemwide, replacing wood poles damaged by a variety of causes. One area attracting attention is woodpecker abatement, as woodpeckers are protected species. Woodpeckers make softball-sized holes in Ameren's wood poles as they hunt for insects, hide acorns and make nests.
It turns out the surface of the Duratel pole is too slick for woodpeckers to hold on to, so they cannot land and start pecking a hole. Ameren inspectors also noticed climbing animals, such as squirrels, cannot climb these poles, which really improves the utility's system average interruption duration index figures for critter-induced outages. SCE has included a variety of composites in its Circuit of the Future program, and it appears these poles have lowered the utility's total owning costs for distribution poles on these circuits.
It is so exciting. The industry started out with composites reducing costs by being lighter and resistant to many of the problems of wood. Then they were found to be fire-resistant and woodpecker-proof, but who would have thought about squirrels not being able to climb them? Composites can be made in a variety of colors so they can be camouflaged to match the terrain they are traversing — a big plus for improving customer relations. Utilities have found composites can be interspersed with wood poles, in a line, to limit cascading failures so prevalent in hurricanes and ice storms. The applications seem limitless as more composite poles are installed on the grid.

About A & R Technical
A&R Technical (formally A.Radichio Services) has been installing and servicing heating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment on Long Island since 1972. In 1985 Art Radichio contracted to Spectronics Corp. of Long Island and pioneered the art of Ultraviolet Leak Detection within the HVAC&R fields. A&R commercial accounts and facility associates (LILCO, Winthrop Hospital, A&P Super Store, Port Washington Flowers, and Manhasset Flowers etc.) that had refrigerant leaks were some of the first successful test prior to product availability. CNN produced an Ozone awareness video with footage from the above accounts. After field testing and in house testing Spectronics Corp. introduced a very successful Ultraviolet Leak Detection product, which made locating refrigerant leaks very easy and reduced the amount of CFCs entering the stratosphere. Spectronics is still maintaining a large part of the Ultraviolet Leak Detection market.
A&R Technical has been training technicians within the A/C and Refrigeration industries since 1986, various trouble shooting courses, EPA test preparation and testing.
We are a small family operation, and have been for many years. Arthur Radichio is involved in all the phases of installation and service and when required will be on the job from start to finish.

That's good because we wouldn't want to fuck an asshole like you anyway.
Why do you say "never again"? Skyrim and Oblivion are my top two favorite games. TES is my favorite franchise. My Skyrim tshirt is one of my favorites. What does being a woman have to do with it?
In the description, did you mean anarchist?
crystalshinemarien, no she meant insensitivity because mar1ssa was really insensitive.
And what are the statistics for heterosexual people, I wonder? STD's and STI's do not solely affect homosexuals, so that argument is invalid. Straight people can get HIV/AIDs also, even from sexual intercourse. 1 in 4 hetero teens have an STD/STI by the age of 18 but you didn't mention that, I guess because it was counterproductive to your argument. Most, if not all, STD/STI's are easily preventable for all sexualities. The media does not mention it because it is not important. EVERYBODY can get them, so why single out one group of people? And how is homophobia common sense? It's common sense to hate somebody who is different from you? How is it ANY of your business who a stranger, or anyone close to you, choses to have a relationship with? You sin every day, so what makes homosexuality worse than any of your sins? My guess is that God is going to let a caring, loving, overall good person into heaven, even if they are homosexual, over someone as narrow minded and hate filled as you seem to be.
OR you can accept the fact that some people just like to read :) I personally think this is an excellent reading list for this year.

Software architect and developer. I use a variety of technologies but at work it's generally C++, HTML, ASP (JScript), Flex, and SVG. For personal stuff, I tend to use PHP, C#, perl, and everything I use at work. :)
I've been designing and developing for well over a decade in the enterprise software market, first with IP billing, now with ticketing (no, not TicketMaster). I'm a classic case of a jack-of-all-trades, but my intuition is good and I pick up programming languages like a sponge picks up water.
I'm a moderator on Photography.SE and I'm an avid amateur photographer and especially enjoy nature and macro photography. I've also started getting into more studio oriented stuff, acquiring some lighting, background stands, and other gadgets for that purpose. My current weapon of choice is the Nikon D800. Check out my website for some of my photography DIY projects, some of which have been featured on the well-known DIY Photography site.
I'm now on 500px and you can see my portfolio that is in dire need of growth...
I'm also a moderator pro-tem on Pets.SE because I have a keen love and interest in animals. Over the years, I've had as companions dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, and budgies. As a result, I've learned a lot about caring and enjoying, sometimes the hard and sad way.

Plan Your The Southeast Vacation
Surrey, Kent, and Sussex form the breadbasket of England, where bucolic farmland stretches as far as the eye can see. Once a favorite destination of English nobility, this region is rich with history, visible in the great castles and stately homes that dot the countryside. Its cities are similarly historic, especially ancient Canterbury, with its spectacular cathedral and medieval streets. Along the coast, funky seaside towns have a more relaxed attitude, especially artsy Brighton, where artists and musicians use the sea as inspiration for their work.

Whether treating a toddler in an emergency or supporting a teen through chemotherapy treatments, we are dedicated to the care of each patient. It's through teamwork at every level of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and with you, the family, that we are able to achieve excellence in pediatric care.
See more about us
With a proven track record of providing world-class care to patients in more than 30 pediatric specialties, we are a model for other pediatric hospitals. Infants, teens and young adults belong in a children's hospital where they can get specialized treatment from caregivers who know the important differences between children and adults.
See our clinical services
Do you have a question about your child's health? This section offers information that may help you. View age-appropriate health information for your child.
Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children's seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children's launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children's and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.
Quickly accessing specialized medical care can be difficult in the rural areas in which 21 percent of the U.S population lives—where the nearest facility can be more than 50 miles away*. A new virtual mode of practicing medicine, telemedicine, is emerging as a viable option providing faster, more specialized evaluations for many patient groups.
This technology uses live video to connect Children's Healthcare of Atlanta with providers and patients in communities with limited access to pediatric specialists.
This can lead to improved diagnosis and treatment times and provides families and patients an alternative to lengthy and stressful road trips.
Every year, for example, thousands of children in Georgia who are sexually or physically abused need specialized medical evaluation. Yet this service is typically available only in urban centers. Much of Georgia–like much of the country as a whole–is rural, so many children are either unable to obtain needed care or they must travel great distances to reach a specialty clinic.
Recognizing a need, the Children's Child Protection Center started using telemedicine in January 2009. With two outpatient clinics in metro Atlanta to provide forensic interviews and medical evaluations to children and adolescents who are suspected victims of abuse or neglect, the Child Protection Center collaborated with the Georgia Partnership for Telehealth and several child advocacy centers throughout the state to create the ability to provide children in rural communities access to child abuse physicians. Child advocacy centers provide prevention, intervention and treatment services to victims of abuse and are ideal partners for bringing telemedicine evaluations to local children.
The Process
In the case of suspected abuse, the police contact a local child advocacy center associated with the telemedicine network. They immediately call the Children's Telemedicine Program to schedule a consultation.
At the appointed time, the child and parent come to the local child advocacy center where they are greeted by a social worker and a medical provider, usually a nurse. They enter an exam room equipped for teleconferencing. The nurse explains the procedure and introduces the specialist to the family. From a desk in Atlanta, the specialist greets and engages the family in conversation to help them relax. The interaction takes place through high-resolution screens that allow the patient, family and doctors to communicate in real time.
Together, the nurse and specialist obtain information about the abuse event and the child's general health. The nurse performs a head-to-toe physical exam on the child with the specialist guiding the process. During the genital exam, the nurse uses a video colposcope—a device that connects to the telemedicine equipment and enables both the nurse and specialist to obtain magnified, high-resolution views of the area so injuries can be detected. The specialist is in constant communication with the onsite provider throughout the exam to ensure that a comprehensive evaluation is obtained. The specialist also talks with the patient to explain what is happening and to monitor her comfort level.
Before the family leaves, the nurse and specialist are available to answer their questions and tell the parent how to reach them with questions or concerns. Next, the specialist briefs the police officer and discusses the investigation. The specialist also writes a formal consultation report regarding the results of the medical evaluation.
Benefits of Telemedicine
According to Jordan Greenbaum, M.D., Medical Director of the Child Protection Center, telemedicine has several tangible benefits. "An evaluation utilizing telemedicine reduces parental anxiety and stress by providing prompt access to expert care and support. It also saves time and resources for authorities, who can lose a workday driving to and from Atlanta. And for rural medical providers, telemedicine relieves some of the burden of accurately identifying abuse and interpreting physical findings."
Dr. Greenbaum thinks that pediatrics is just beginning to tap telemedicine's potential. She comments, "Whether or not telemedicine is available in your community, we encourage pediatricians and family practitioners to use the Child Protection Center as a resource to help improve the lives of children and adolescents."
Treating Developmental Disabilities Using Telemedicine
Through telemedicine is not widely used in the United States to diagnose and treat developmental disorders, Marcus Autism Center, an affiliate of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, has experienced successful results using this technology. In April 2009, the Marcus Autism Center started a telemedicine program that now sees patients and families at 50 rural sites. Using teleconferencing, specialists diagnose and treat a variety of developmental and psychiatric disorders. Additionally, Marcus Autism Center uses telemedicine to educate clinicians about developmental disabilities so that children can be identified and receive treatment at younger ages. Earlier intervention leads to the child making more progress and ultimately having a better quality of life.
The Georgia Partnership for Telehealth facilitated the transition to telemedicine by offering their expertise on common barriers to telemedicine such as the lack of mental health coverage for telemedicine cases.
The program has many benefits for patients. It is extremely useful for patients who can't otherwise be safely transported to specialty clinics due to problematic behaviors. It also benefits families who would not otherwise have access to a child and adolescent psychiatrist. Before telemedicine, many children with developmental disabilities who lived in rural areas went undiagnosed and subsequently untreated. Now, telemedicine can be used to diagnose developmental disabilities, adjust medications, implement behavioral treatments and provide emotional support.
As a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist at the Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Center in the Marcus Autism center, Felissa Goldstein, M.D., reports several major improvements after implementing telemedicine.
"As a result of telemedicine, our program has seen improved patient behaviors, greater patient potential and families who are less stressed. Patients' lives are more normal; they can go places with their families and are performing better in school. For these children, technology is a boon that can change lives."
Telemedicine in Full Swing
Telemedicine has wider applications for many pediatric subspecialties. Recently the Children's Telemedicine Program expanded to provide telemedicine specialist office visits to rural communities throughout Georgia. In one afternoon, a specialist in Atlanta could see children from all corners of the state.
In addition to providing scheduled office visits, Children's tele-emergency program will link community emergency departments with Children's pediatric emergency medicine physicians to improve access to and quality of emergency services. With Children's specialists acting as consultants to other hospitals, some patients do not require transport to larger facilities.
Michael McConnell, M.D., a pediatric cardiologist and co-director of the Adult Congenital Heart Program at the Children's Sibley Heart Center, believes that these early efforts are just the beginning. "While telemedicine may not be appropriate for all patients, physicians and patients should keep an open mind. After all, this is only the first wave of an initiative that will play an integral role in the way physicians provide care."

Meet the woman fighting for free-speech in 'undemocratic' China
Dissent is rarely tolerated in China, but one prominent woman is not afraid of voicing her criticism of the government.
Hung Huang stands out in a country of 1.3 billion people. She is a doting mother, a columnist, a blogger, owns a high-end fashion boutique and publishes a trendy fashion magazine.
When contemplated whether all the communists in China believe in communism, Hung called that 'the biggest joke', adding that they believe in 'money, for sure'.
Hung was educated in the U.S. at Vassar, and loves to promote Chinese design as much as she loves to poke China's leaders for arrogance and corruption.
"If I see something I don't like, I'll just say something. I am just a blabbermouth," Hung said.
"I think it's part of my American education more than anything else," she added.
Hung said there are three 'Ts' that are taking it too far and you don't talk about: Tibet, Taiwan, and Tiananmen.
According to CBS News, she said that still, she is seeing China change.
When high-ranking political leader Bo Xilai recently was brought down by scandal, his wife convicted of killing a British businessman, millions of others joined her in a freewheeling internet discussion.
In a country with little tolerance for dissent, Hung boldly pushes the limits. She had a talk show, but walked away because the government censored her guests.
She now has almost six million followers on China's version of Twitter.
"The change of leadership gives people reason to hope. There is an opportunity there. There is a possibility," Hung said.

anywhere with anyone where i don't have to smell pee on the subways. really. just for two days. not asking for much, but in nyc, it really is a lot. really. yes, i AM dreaming big....
There are so many places & things I'd love to visit/do, but I think my most perfect summer vacation would be to an island somewhere in the south Pacific. I'd also like to visit Australia (on my bucket list), but want to do that in the Fall (our Fall, their Spring).

I was taking out the hops after dry hopping in my keg for 7 days and my son thought it would be a good idea to chuck his lego in the beer. I removed the lego quickly. It is a double ipa abv is 9.5 and obvioulsy was fully fermented. Do i have to worry about contamination from the lego??
Thank you!
No, but you should name it something lego.
That 9.5% content should take care of anything. but I agree. A lego label is appropriate.
was it a red LEGO? I think the red ones are ok, but yellow or green may cause unwanted flavors
"Lego my Pale Ale"
How many holes in the bottom of the lego? The less holes the less likely for contamination.
You know, after tasting a beer, I have often thought, "Hmmmm.... needs more lego." Glad to read someone has followed through with experiments in dry lego-ing.
On Deck: IPA Primary 1: Air :-( Primary 2: Air :-( Primary 3: Air :-( Primary 4: Air :-( Bottled: Amarillo & Mosaic Pale Ale, Dark candi syrup Apfelwein, One bottle of Bourbon Oaked Apfelwein

My 'online' dating philosophy is simple - let's go 'offline'. I'd
rather meet in person for a short (or long - depends lol) walk or
in a coffee place and practically see what happens. If you believe
in 'let's get to know each other here first' phrase, please keep
fishing ... I have neither interest nor desire in doing so.
Realistically, working in high-tech day in and day out, I have no
desire to add my personal time to cyber world. But if you are
seriously looking to meet and see where it goes (or at least have
an initial phone conversation), I'm interested to hear from you,
given you at least have a profile picture. When I'm off the
computer I hike every weekend and pretend to be a photographer of
nature and wildlife. Hope you like the pics. Thanks for stopping
