Hello, folks. Another fan of ye fire-haired amazon here, with a bit of a predicament.
Ever since I uninstalled and reinstalled BG2 after a critical computer failure, I've gotten the following message whenever I try to install the latest version of Tyris:
Unix.Unix_error (20, "system", "")
Like so.
I have no clue what that is or how to fix it. It seems to have something to do with the sound files, though I've no clue why or how.
I'll leave a copy of the SETUP-TYRISFLARE.DEBUG file here just in case.
I'll be blunt, this is driving me absolutely nuts. Any help at all would be very much appreciated.

New Al Majlis facility opens in time for World Energy Forum
Dubai, UAE – October 22, 2012 – Al Majlis, Dubai Airports' VIP passenger service, has opened its new, modern facility in Dubai International's Terminal 3, in time to accommodate the dignitaries attending this week's World Energy Forum.
Dozens of heads of state, ministers and other industry leaders have made use of the new facility as they arrive in Dubai to thrash out a roadmap towards cleaner, safer and more sustainable energy. The conference takes place from October 22 to 24, 2012.
Al Majlis' new, more central location makes connecting either to a commercial or private flight far more convenient and is able to better accommodate big groups with three large lounges in additional to six smaller, more intimate lounges spaces.
The building has been given a fresh, more modern look while retaining all the comfort and service that customers have come to expect from Al Majlis. While part of Terminal 3, Al Majlis will remain an exclusive service that adheres to the same privacy and security levels that were available in the past.
The current facility is being relocated as part of Dubai Airports' $7.8bn Strategic Plan 2020 which will see the airport capacity increased from its current 60 million passengers a year to 90 million in 2018. The old Al Majlis site will be used to accommodate additional aircraft parking.
"It is an honour to welcome the many dignitaries attending the World Energy Forum to Dubai International as among the first passengers to use the new facility. Al Majlis remains committed to providing the highest level of service to all of its customers and appreciates their strong support. We believe that that bringing Al Majlis to Terminal 3 helps improve connection times while maintaining the exclusivity of the service our customers expect," said Paul Griffiths, CEO of Dubai Airports.

Linda Gale Reed pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of embezzlement during her arraignment hearing Friday morning before Copiah County Circuit Judge Lamar Pickard. Reed was served with an indictment June 7 and is charged with three counts of embezzlement.
The charges involve petty cash and checks written in connection to her employer -- Moore Fabrication.
A Grand Jury met in January, but her case wasn't presented at that time.
Reed's attorney John Reeves said he hasn't received a copy of the indictment but is told there are more than 400 pages of evidence included. Reeves said he wasn't surprised by the indictment.
"It was obvious to me that the local flavor, the frenzy was so hard and so high that they didn't have a choice really, politically, but to indict her. I think in other counties, more populous counties, there's a good chance she would not have been indicted. I don't think they can prove their case," stated Reeves.
A trial date could be as soon as July.
"She's ready to move on. Ready to get this thing over with one way or another and get some resolution in her life. Nobody likes to be in jail. Who does? So she's not enjoying that at all. Who would?" said Reeves.
Reed was reported missing in April 2012. Her status changed from missing to wanted for embezzlement on Oct. 15. An independent audit, along with a federal investigation revealed money missing from the petty cash fund of the business where she was employed.
"What I've seen and heard, the employer kept sloppy books. We'll find out. We've got to get our own CPAs involved in it to look at it," said Reeves.
Her family and authorities searched for nearly five months before Reed was found in Longview, TX. She was working as a bookkeeper under her own name.

By U.S. Senator Benjamin L. Cardin
This year marks the 45th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act – one of the most important pieces of civil rights legislation to be enacted during the tumultuous 1960s. The Voting Rights Act, signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on August 6, 1965, was a result of the continued and egregious denials of the voting rights of African American citizens and other minorities across our nation.
The right to vote is one of the most sacred rights in the U.S. Constitution. Despite the fact that the 15th amendment had enfranchised African Americans, throughout the South a variety of methods were used to deny African Americans and other minorities their legal rights. From intimidation to physical violence to literacy tests and polls taxes, African Americans were routinely denied their constitutional right to vote.
Following the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, President Johnson made passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) a priority. Passage of the VRA gave teeth to the 15th amendment and it required the federal government to oversee voter registration and election changes in areas that had historically suppressed minority voting or where registration or turnout had been less than 50 percent in the 1964 Presidential election.
The effects were dramatic. By 1968, nearly 60 percent of African Americans were registered to vote in Mississippi and other Southern states showed similar improvement. It also gave a boost over the years to the election of African Americans to elective office at the local, state and national levels. Between 1965 and 1990, the number of African-American legislators and members of Congress rose from two to 160.
Unfortunately, efforts to disenfranchise voters still persist and Maryland has not been immune from such attempts. In 2002, flyers were handed out in Baltimore City with the wrong Election Day, also warning voters to pay their parking tickets before voting. Similar problems were reported in Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Virginia.
During the 2006 election, flyers were distributed in predominately African-American neighborhoods falsely claiming that the candidates had been endorsed by their opponent's party and by prominent figures who had actually endorsed another candidate.
We must remain constantly vigilant to efforts to deny or infringe upon the rights of all Americans to vote. In 2006, as a House member, I voted for the reauthorization of the VRA to strengthen these protections.
As we pause to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we must take a moment to appreciate what we have accomplished. Voting is a fundamental right and the laws of our nation provide protections that make it possible for every American to exercise that right.

LOOKING BACK ON AIRLINE DEREGULATION, which he guided as head of the Civil Aeronautics Board in 1978, Alfred E. Kahn wrote that although deregulation greatly benefited most airline passengers, it also resulted in "a limited reemergence of monopoly power and the exploitation of a minority of customers." That minority is you — and the employees and meeting attendees you want to put on planes for something less than an exorbitant price.
But for the past decade, there's been someone in your corner, shining a spotlight on airlines' monopolistic practices and relentlessly pursuing fairer fares: Kevin Mitchell, crusader against the gouging of the business traveler.
"I wouldn't describe myself as a crusader," Mitchell says. He prefers "Mr. D," a nickname given to him by Rolfe Shellenberger, formerly of Runzheimer International: The D is for "dogged, deliberate, and determined." Indeed, when you're working to change a massive industry through hours of testimony before government bodies and hundreds of interviews given to the full spectrum of trade and commercial publications, dogged is more apt than crusader.
The Debate Begins
In 1994, Mitchell left his job as vice president, human resources at CIGNA and created an air travel buying consortium representing 16 corporations (including CIGNA). The group, then called Business Travel Contractors Corp., wanted three things: net airfares, travel agencies paid by customer fees rather than airline commissions, and a simplified airfare structure. The first two are here to stay; the third, Mitchell believes, is on the horizon.
In 1996, BTCC evolved into the Business Travel Coalition. No longer a buying group, BTC's mission was advocacy, and its sights were set on broader air transportation issues, the biggest being competition. One of BTC's early efforts was a pair of 1997 Washington Summits on the topic. They were sponsored by Sens. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., and John R. McCain 3rd, R-Ariz., and Reps. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., and James Oberstar, D-Minn., and attended by hundreds of corporate, travel agency, airline, airport, government, and press representatives. "The most important thing we did was the competition debate," says Mitchell. "It caused the major network airlines to throttle back on their most extreme responses to new entry. The national media engaged the issue in a big, big way, shining a bright light on [the majors'] predatory competitive practices."
Where We Are Now
The story is still about competition. The 9/11 attacks, continued threats of terrorism, the war in Iraq, severe acute respiratory syndrome, and a long economic downturn have taken a huge toll on the major airlines. But none of those contributors to the airlines' enormous revenue losses — and bankruptcy, in three cases so far — has made them do the major restructuring required for survival. It is competition, says Mitchell — from AirTran, Frontier, JetBlue, ATA, Spirit, and Southwest — that will fix the industry's fundamental problems. "Absent the strength of the low-fare segment, the majors would just wait this out," he says. "But the game has radically changed. In 1992, low-fare carriers had 9 percent national market shares. Today it's 25 percent. They've reached critical mass. These guys are here to stay."
The major airlines have been slow to acknowledge that things are never going back to the way they used to be, he adds. "We're at a historic crossroads. True structural change will have to happen. The old premise was that when the economy comes back, business travelers will once again go 'uptown' — back to the major carriers — and pricing power will return. That's outdated thinking. Now, the low-fare carriers have better aircraft, route structures, and great management teams, and passengers are treated well."
Furthermore, he points out, while air travel management used to be a "corporate backwater," it's now front and center on the CFO's desk. Companies are paying much more attention to their travel spending and will put their money with carriers they see as partners — when they put their money in the air at all. "The airlines stand alone in treating their very best customers with near disdain," Mitchell says. "With so many alternatives to the middle seat on a major carrier, the airlines have to address customer issues."
What It Means for You
A year from now, the industry will still be struggling as the majors lose additional market shares to low-fare carriers, Mitchell predicts. "And there will probably be a failure," he adds. In fact, he cautions planners to be alert to the threat of failures. "They book so far in advance, they should be worried about who is going to survive and who is not."
As carriers continue to cut costs over the next few years, he adds, planners can expect "volatility in the number of seats available and schedule changes," which will put more pressure on them "to ensure that there are no surprises" — the top producer arriving at the airport to find his flight canceled, for example. "The role of the meeting planner and the relationship between the planner and the supplier will be that much more critical."
He also advises planners to "constantly look at contract terms with a fresh set of eyes," and consider some kind of interruption insurance.
Five years out, he believes, "there will be far more competition. Those majors that are around will be more efficient and more focused on the customer, and market shares will have stabilized. We'll reach an equilibrium where they [majors and low-fare carriers] will be equal in influence."
He also sees a simpler fare structure and lower business fares coming as airlines try to regain the trust and loyalty of business travelers and meeting organizers. "They need to rationalize the fare structure to meet business travelers' needs — so they believe in it enough to rely on business travel as a communications tool."
Survival of the Fittest
Mitchell's "equilibrium" will come about as the low-fare carriers creep up on the majors' big advantage by adding planes to increase flights and markets served (see sidebar, page 18) and as the majors take a page from the discount carriers' playbook by streamlining operations and lowering fares.
But for the majors to make this happen, with their massive hub-and-spoke systems and huge work forces, they must radically cut costs and dramatically increase asset productivity. Increasing asset productivity means, for example, getting more hours per day out of planes and more hours per month out of pilots, Mitchell explains.
One carrier, American, is on its way to doing these things, he says. American has modified the hub-and-spoke schedule by evenly spacing flights throughout the day rather than bunching them up. That has increased productivity by keeping planes on the ground for less time, reducing the number of gates needed, and giving ground crews regular work schedules rather than peaks of activity. "American probably has the smartest management in the business," Mitchell says. "They understand very well that they have to meet Southwest head-on."
As demand picks up — which, inevitably, it will — American will be able to capitalize on its advantage over the low-fare segment: broader reach and more frequent flights. Even there, however, American is playing it smart. In July, the airline announced that it is dropping some unprofitable routes and flights and that by 2004 it will have eliminated 114 planes from its fleet. "I'd bet huge on American," Mitchell says.
Air Head
Where we are today — possibly on the brink of a truly competitive and service-oriented airline industry — is due in good measure to Mitchell's dogged, deliberate, determined efforts to get the word out to all constituencies about how the airlines operate. BTC threw itself in front of the rolling train of the proposed United-USAirways merger in 2000, for example, and after the proposal was rejected, one airport executive director wrote Mitchell a letter giving him the credit. And consider this from Rep. Louise Slaughter: "Without Business Travel Coalition we might be in a different position," she wrote to Mitchell. "You have provided my office, other members of Congress, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Justice and the states' attorneys general with critically important information to make our cases against the merger."
When he's not on Capitol Hill or talking to The New York Times, Mitchell,47, might be home in Radnor, Pa., spending time with his wife ("Saint Linda") and 13-year-old son or pursuing his love of cooking (he was once executive chef at Whitemarsh Valley Country Club outside Philadelphia). Perhaps surprisingly, one area of airline service he doesn't criticize is food. "I've enjoyed 95 percent of the meals I've had [on airplanes]," he says. "I don't know what the big deal has always been with airline food. I call it the late-night standup comic syndrome — it's easy to bash."
Mitchell has a genuine desire to help people and effect change; he's comfortable in front of an audience and with the media; he's willing (even happy) to condense huge amounts of fact and opinion into clearheaded analyses of complex issues. Considering all that, it's no surprise that his early career goals included running for office. It's an ambition that may still be realized.
His approach can be summed up this way: Speak softly and take the high road. "It's never been about bitching and whining," he says. "You have to assume that if you were in [a major airline CEO's] shoes you couldn't do any better, and you might do a whole lot worse. Assume they're good people trying to do the best in a bad situation." Nevertheless, his message to the airlines remains: "At the end of the day, if you have contempt for your customer, it's not good for you or for your industry."
Quick Hit for Airline News
Kevin Mitchell launched the Business Travel Coalition Web site (www.btcweb.biz) in June 2001. Today, his Travelogue page, which provides links to airline- or business travel — related articles he selects every morning, averages 31,000 hits a day from 65 countries. Mitchell's testimony in front of House and Senate committees and other decision-makers, along with BTC survey results and other commentaries, are searchable at the site.
Headline of the Year: JetBlue's 100-Seaters
Low-fare carriers have one big advantage over the hub-and-spoke carriers: Their operations are smaller and more streamlined, so their cost structures are lower. Consequently, they can set lower airfares and still be profitable.
The majors have one big advantage over the low-fare carriers: The spokes of their hub-and-spoke systems can reach far more potential passengers. For 60 percent to 70 percent of the country, a major carrier is the only option.
Now comes JetBlue to trump that advantage with its deal to be the launch customer for the 100-seat Embraer 190 jet. (As the launch customer, JetBlue presumably got a discount on the big purchase.) These smaller jets will let JetBlue start profitably flying routes with fewer passengers, invading some of that majors-only territory and bringing fares down. JetBlue has ordered 100 of the jets; the first ones start flying in 2005.
The number of possible routes for JetBlue triples with the smaller jets, since the minimum number of passengers per day needed for profitability is decreased. "This is huge," says BTC's Kevin Mitchell. "This will be the biggest headline of the year. I cannot see Southwest standing on the sidelines as JetBlue corners these numerous smaller markets." In fact, in July USA Today reported that Southwest would add 17 jets to its fleet this year and a total of 119 over the next four years. Also not standing by is AirTran: It recently bought 50 Boeing 737s, with options to buy an additional 50 jets.
Swiss Skies: Purpose-Built Air Travel
While advocacy with BTC remains his focus, Kevin Mitchell has signed on to market a new air travel service — Swiss Skies, in partnership with Atlanta-based World Airways, will start out flying one route: Washington, D.C., to Kabul, Afghanistan, with a stop in Geneva.
The big benefit to passengers is a quicker trip: The Swiss Skies schedule turns a 35-hour, three-plane ordeal (barring delays that could strand you in Delhi for two days) into 18 hours with no change of planes. World Airways, with a 55-year history of flying into challenging locales, will provide the service with an emphasis on security. "Everyone is vetted who gets on that plane for the first time," Mitchell explains. World Airways planes will remain in a secured area at the Kabul airport.
The target customers are private-sector contractors, government officials, and international organizations working on reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan. "In principle, Swiss Skies will be developing the market for later competitors," Mitchell explains. "The assumption is that within three years, the marketplace will normalize, demand will increase, competition will come in, and we won't be competitive anymore." But Swiss Skies has other destinations in mind. "If this model works, the list [of potential routes] is long and growing," Mitchell notes. Anticipating that, World Airways has applied on behalf of Swiss Skies for permission to fly into Baghdad. Subject to regulatory approvals, the first flight to Kabul takes off this month.

Router issues and a question about wireless n routers
I got a Cisco Valet for Christmas and it is just not working and degrading my internet speed. So, I bought from Cox a NetGear N300 wireless router for 50 dollars. I thought I would be able to use this in the living room and then hook up another computer in the bedroom using my old modem. I did not know that if I set up another modem in the bedroom I would be charged for two internet services.
So, they told me to buy a wireless n router and connect it to the computer in the bedroom. I am confused, I am looking on Amazon trying to find something that will work with my Netgear router and my computer in the bedroom. I have 5 days left to return the router to Cox if they sold me the wrong item. In 2000 I bought a Linksys, that had a main router for downstairs and a min router for upstairs. I thought what I was buying from Cox would work with both. Both computers are older, neither is wireless, and both are desktops. Any suggestions would be helpful. I am a senior and on a fixed income so I am trying to do this in a way that will not be crazy expensive. I went from 17-18 download speeds a month ago to 3-5 download speed now. I am paying for 15-20, however, with the router it is not working out that way for the last week. I use my computer for streaming and some gaming when the grandson's are over. Thanks for you help.

Re: Router issues and a question about wireless n routers
My questions revolve around the new Netgear router and how to make the other computer work in the other room. I don't know what to buy and Cox told me to buy a wireless n router, however, they seem to be what I already have and need a modem to plug into them. Do I need to return the Netgear N300 and buy something else? Thank you. PS. yes, it was like the picture you showed.. a main router and the one you showed in the picture. Any suggestions re what I should do. Thanks

If you like the way Vince Flynn used to write before he ran out of ideas, then you should enjoy Devil's bed. It picks up where Flynn should have headed. It's well written and features a hero and nemesis, the government and a good plot. 8 of 10 stars.

User Review: Optimus Crux Lite
Source: borrowed it
This stove is very compact and lightweight. It lights easily and burns consistently. I recommend it for any backpacker who wants to travel light and boil water!
- Light
- Compact
- Burns efficiently
- Balances well
It lit first try. Flame Control was great. I only boiled water with it, but it was very responsive until the low end of the flame.
The stove set up very easily and balanced very well. I used a 750 mL cup on it and had no tipping issues. The stove packed away in the same cup very nicely with all kinds of room to spare.
Boil time was true to spec.
Although I was not in wind, I would imagine a wind screen to be a benefit in windy conditions.
I haven't burned through a complete canister yet. We boiled for 3 meals and two cups of hot chocolate and couldn't tell a huge difference in the weight of the canister.
This stove was perfect and it seems to be of quality construction and I would expect a good lifespan from it.

Sara's easy strategy for quick meals is to cook once, eat twice. Spicy Roast Pork is a simple and delicious meal any night, but a visit with her brother to a Vietnamese food joint inspires Sara to turn that pork into delectable pork Banh Mi Sandwiches later in the week. Sauteed Duck Breasts one night become delicious Peking Duck Wraps the next. Magic!

Updated: The RKP Cycling Cap
You may recall my post from last winter on the cotton cycling cap. Chock full of nostalgia and ambivalence, the post sparked a stunning number of comments for so humble an item. They were all, shall we say, of a piece. Frankly, I was surprised that there was so much support and desire for an RKP hat.
Robot, God love him, got things rolling with Castelli and we're pleased to report that they'll begin shipping from RKP's SoCal headquarters during the first week of the Tour. Twenty bucks gets you a cap and some stickers, too.
I will be officially retiring that old, blue Alexia Alluminio cap the moment these arrive.
You can order them here.
A little update: They are here and are shipping out!

Birth Data
A Live Birth is a product of conception that shows any sign of life after delivery, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy. Signs of life include breathing, heartbeat, pulsation of the umbilical cord, definite movement of voluntary muscles, or any other evidence of life, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached.
The Certificate of Live Birth is the source document for these data. All original birth certificates are routed to the Vital Records Registry in New Orleans. Birth attendants, usually physicians or licensed midwives, are responsible for recording the required information on birth certificates. Louisiana law requires that the birthing facility or attendant send the original birth record to the Vital Records Registry within fifteen days of the birth, and that the identities of persons included in the birth registry are kept confidential.
Birth certificates serve as legal records of birth and identification. They also provide surveillance data used to monitor fertility trends, population composition and growth, and patterns in prenatal and postnatal conditions that affect the immediate and future health of newborns and mothers. Information monitored through birth surveillance includes adequacy of prenatal care, obstetric procedures, complications during delivery, method of delivery, and infant birthweight. Examination of surveillance data helps identify mothers and infants at high risk of poor outcomes and enables effective targeting of research, educational efforts, and services to reduce this risk.

2. You look forward to rainy weekends because you can watch a NCIS marathon.
6. You've watched an entire season of a TV show on Netflix.
Multiple times.
11. Having your friends come into town is the WORST because you have to entertain all weekend.
12. You can handle a happy hour, but probably go straight home after it ends.
No bar hopping for you.
14. You go home and browse the internet for hours on your laptop.
Every. Night.
16. And cancelled plans more times than you can count.
17. You look forward to the weekend just so you can do absolutely nothing.
18. Your family and friends aren't surprised when you don't show up to places.
19. And once you enter the door, there's no way you're leaving your apartment.

As printed in the latest issue of Libertas, the premiere publication of Young America's Foundation
Dear Friends:
"There is no better way to establish hope for the future than to enlighten young minds." Ronald Reagan proclaimed this sentiment in his famous Brandenburg Gate speech. It wasn't a throwaway line. Millions lived behind the Iron Curtain for a whole generation, and freedom's advocates needed a morale boost and a road map out of tyranny. Reagan urged them to look to their youth. Those young people breached the Berlin Wall two years later!
This is a time when conservatives need new hope. Last year we were stung by a disastrous Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, disappointed in November, and slammed with a New Year's Eve tax increase (in addition to the trillion dollar increase in taxes for Obamacare).
Yet, as this issue of Libertas makes clear, there are emerging, exciting, principled leaders entering the prime of their careers: Scott Walker, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Mike Lee, Mike Pence, Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz, and Bobby Jindal, to name a few! They represent freedom's principles, and they should give us hope in the years to come.
Furthermore, a Young America's Foundation supporter or activist should never be without hope. From a spiritual stand point, our Lord said he would be with us always, even until the end of time.
However, the Obama machine has made great strides in reaching our young people, and we must redouble our efforts to win the hears and minds of today's youth. There are more than 25 million students in high school and more than 19 million students in college, That is an audience, if we reach it's most promising students, which can transform America and once again put us on the road to freedom.
You have an opportunity to make a difference for the ideas you believe in by partnering with Young America's Foundation. To be successful takes intelligence, hard work, dedication, and a financial commitment. We know a commitment to election results alone is inadequate. We must also present our ideas in classrooms and on campuses throughout our land.
That is Young America's Foundation's specialty; we run programs that present your principles to a new generation. With your help, and God willing, 2013 will be a year when we set America back on the road to freedom and establish a new hope for the future!

Thinking about a photo safari?
Then think fast. And long. Fast as in shutter speed and long as in focal length.
We heard that recently from Mark Alberhasky, who leads his own photo safaris as well as Nikon-sponsored Mentor treks. "Most people think a 70-200mm lens is okay," Mark says, "but it's not long enough. In fact, 300mm is just getting your foot in the door. I like the 400mm and the 200-400mm—both are superb safari lenses because they give you good focal lengths on an FX body, and when you put them on a DX-body Nikon D-SLR, you've got the additional reach of the 1.5x crop factor, so those are wonderful focal lengths for safari photography."
On a recent two-week safari during which Mark led a group that traveled from the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania to Kenya's Masai Mara game reserve, he extended his reach even farther thanks to the Nikon 1 V1 and its FT-1 mount adapter, an accessory that allowed him to use his telephoto D-SLR NIKKORS on the V1. "I started seeing some incredible telephoto perspectives because of the camera's 2.7x crop factor."
In fact, most of his pictures from the trip were taken with the V1—and most at high shutter speeds. "Even though safari photography is usually of relatively still creatures, the key word is 'relatively,' " Mark says. "Animals are never completely still in Africa; they're always aware, always looking either for something to eat or for something that's coming to eat them. So for sharp animal photographs, you generally need a shutter speed in the range of 1/1000 second."
And, he says, you need to bring ISO into play. "You've got long lenses and fast shutter speeds and, often, small apertures, like f/8 or f/11 for greater depth of field, so you're going to have to push the ISO. For really good safari photographs you should always think in terms of the shutter speed, aperture, ISO combination."
Mark encourages his safari trekkers to confidently boost the ISO setting. "In the past, people would think they had to shoot at ISO 100 or 200 to get 'real quality,' and if they needed to ramp it up for low light, they'd go to 800—but that's not really a big jump. I'll push it easily to 1600 and occasionally higher. I want that razor-sharp image every time."
Mark makes his exposure decisions based on what he wants each photograph to be, which means that most of the time his camera is set for manual mode. "I can see the data in the viewfinder and instantly decide if the shutter speed is fast enough or if the aperture will work for the image. But if a bird is on a tree limb, I know right away I need 1/2000 or 1/3000 second, so I'll go to shutter priority and lock in the setting so I know I'm getting the speed that's critical for the shot.
"If you want good photographs, you have to be constantly thinking and making creative decisions. If you're always shooting in auto mode, you'll get technically decent shots, but you'll discover that the depth of field wasn't quite right or the shutter speed not high enough because you're not thinking about the specific image you want to make. Great photographs are rarely serendipitous; most of them start with the photographer thinking, this is what I want to do."
That kind of thinking creates reference points and skill sets for elements like subject movement and changes in the light. "A cloud bank moves and the light drops, so you know to boost the ISO until the sun comes back," Mark says. "When the light changes, I'm always asking the safari members, 'What ISO do you think will be good now?' I want them to always be thinking and learning. Most people never carve out time devoted only to photography, but that kind of intense experience is exactly what they need. Control of the camera becomes second nature; they're shooting, reviewing and evaluating as they go. They're sharpening their critical judgment and learning from experience."
Mark's Tips for Trekkers
Have a solid understanding of how shutter speed, aperture and ISO work together to control the light that enters the camera.
Learn to make your settings quickly, without taking your eyes from the viewfinder.
Boost the ISO to get faster shutter speeds and greater depth of field.
Do trial and error test exposures for a reference base of shutter speeds that freeze specific actions.
Experiment also with your camera's AF choices to understand when to use, for example, single-point AF, dynamic-area AF and auto-area AF.

Thing is that right now, if you are delinquent on your student loans, you don´t get anymore to go to school. I know SEVERAL people who could be going to school right now and are not because they can´t get aid for defaulting on their loans....and it SHOULD be that way.I am grateful for the help. I plan on going to school starting January for an accounting degree. I am 45 years old with a retired Air Force husband going to nursing school and two daughters also in college. We need the help and expect to pay back every penny. I´ve paid my taxes and helped others all this time, I don´t think it´s too much to get the help now that I need it.But PLEASE do not forgive student loan debt.

fta: A student loan bailout will also be rewarding higher education bureaucrats for a diminished product. A college degree used to mean that a person would add on average $1 million to their income over their lifetime. Today a college degree only guarantees an average $300,000 in added income over a lifetime.~~So why is a BA worth it anymore?

PLEASE make it retroactive to 1960 so that I will get a boost in my retirement income. This proposal is once again Government at its very worst. I have a counter proposal - after high school, go to work for 4 years, and then, when you have saved enough for what you want to spend, pay upfront for college. If your money runs out before you graduate, drop out and go back to work to earn enough to complete your degree. This bailout would be a disgrace to every person who has ever paid for their college. You don´t buy what you cannot afford. I do not want my tax money used for this purpose, and I want to make it clear that my family would BENEFIT under this plan, because I have relatives in that situation, one of whom has been paying off college loans for over 10 years to date. That person knew exactly what she was in for and does not expect a bailout. At this point, why would anyone continue to repay a loan even if they could, when the Obama gift train is right down the tracks and stopping at your station. Click Here if you Like this Comment

I paid back every penny borrowed for my B.A., then had trouble borrowing for graduate studies because I was unmarried and had no children. So I worked hard, took extra jobs, got fellowships and scholarships and ran up the credit card on things like travel (no meals or clothes etc.). What I did manage to borrow I also paid back, every cent. Now I´m teaching college students, many of whom have no business being there. Several in my intro class will fail this semester, and I have convinced several others that teaching really is hard work - they aren´t going to continue in the program. Most of these students are being paid to go to school. It´s just another sham, feel-good program (make liberal whites feel good about getting "poor" or "people of color" into college). No way she there be a bailout for student loans. Unless that amount gets cut from their eventual social security payments. I could live with that.Ramona (the Pest) Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

Emotional Freedom Techniques
Alternative medicine / fringe therapies | |
Claims | Tapping on meridian points on the body, derived from acupuncture, can release energy blockages that cause negative emotions[1][2] |
Related fields | Acupuncture, Acupressure, Energy medicine |
Year proposed | 1993 |
Original proponents | Gary Craig |
Subsequent proponents | Silvia Hartmann, Jack Canfield, Nick Ortner |
See also | Thought Field Therapy, Tapas Acupressure Technique |
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFTs) are a form of counseling intervention that draws on various theories of alternative medicine including acupuncture, neuro-linguistic programming, energy medicine, and Thought Field Therapy. It is best known through Gary Craig's EFT Handbook, published in the late 1990s, and related books and workshops by a variety of teachers. During a typical EFT session, the person will focus on a specific issue while tapping on "end points of the body's energy meridians". Advocates claim that the technique may be used to treat a wide variety of physical and psychological disorders, and as a simple form of self-administered therapy.[1]
The available evidence from studies done on EFT have shown that while there may be small effects from use of this technique, they are likely due to well recognized conventional psychological techniques often used with the tapping, rather than the purported "energy" mechanisms. EFT is generally characterized as pseudoscience and has not garnered significant support in clinical psychology.
According to the EFT manual, the procedure consists of the participant rating the emotional intensity of their reaction on a Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) (a Likert scale for subjective measures of distress, calibrated 0-10) then repeating an orienting affirmation while rubbing or tapping specific points on the body. Some practitioners incorporate eye movements or other tasks. The emotional intensity is then rescored and repeated until no changes are noted in the emotional intensity.[1]
A 2009 review found "methodological flaws" in some research studies that had reported "small successes" for EFT and the related Tapas Acupressure Technique. The review concluded that positive results may be "attributable to well-known cognitive and behavioral techniques that are included with the energy manipulation. Psychologists and researchers should be wary of using such techniques, and make efforts to inform the public about the ill effects of therapies that advertise miraculous claims."[3]
An article in the Skeptical Inquirer argued that there is no plausible mechanism to explain how the specifics of EFT could add to its effectiveness, and they have been described as unfalsifiable and therefore pseudoscientific.[4] Evidence has not been found for the existence of meridians or other concepts involved in traditional Chinese medicine.[5]
A Delphi poll of an expert panel of psychologists rated EFT on a scale describing how discredited EFT has been in the field of psychology. On average, this panel found EFT had a score of 3.8 on a scale from 1.0 to 5.0, with 3.0 meaning "possibly discredited" and a 4.0 meaning "probably discredited."[6] A book examining pseudoscientific practices in psychology characterized EFT as one of a number of "fringe psychotherapeutic practices,"[7] and a psychiatry handbook states EFT has "all the hallmarks of pseudoscience."[8]
EFT, along with its predecessor, Thought Field Therapy, has been dismissed with warnings to avoid their use by publications such as the The Skeptic's Dictionary[9] and Quackwatch.[10]

MISSION—For only the second time since 1935, a One Act Play from Mission Consolidated Independent School District is advancing to the state competition. The Veterans Memorial High School Harlequins placed first at the regional competitions held this past weekend, qualifying them for state.
In addition to qualifying for state competition, several individual honors were received by members of the Harlequins at the regional competition. Beto Cantu and Alex Hinojosa were named part of the all-star cast. Anna Olivarez was an honorable mention.
This will be the second year in a row that the Harlequins have qualified to compete at the state level.
"I am so very proud of what the students have been able to accomplish this year," said James Hodgson, theater arts teacher at VMHS. "Their commitment and intensity has not only helped them tackle a more complex play than was performed last year, they have improved upon every aspect of the process, from sets and costumes, to lighting, to the acting."
The VMHS Harlequins are performing The Circus Animals Desertion, by Don Nigro. The play is set in the 1940's and is an eerie story of young lady who leaves a trail of chaos.
Members of the Harlequins One Act Play are: Alex Hinojosa, Kimberly Stewart, Anna Olivarez, Katharyn Rodriguez, Beto Cantu, Karina Gamboa, Esai Garcia, Micaela Cantu, Emily Cantu, Sara Olivarez, Marisol Cervantes, Clarissa Garza, Jorge Ortiz, Carlos Tello, Brandon Hernandez, Karla Gastel, Jaime Bazaldua, Geselle Farias, Katian Lopez, Andrea Garcia, Brittany Bazaldua, Alex Hernandez, Miranda Morales, Debanhi Cespedes.
This is also the second in a row that the Harlequins advanced to regionals and marks the sixth year in a row they have won the district UIL One Act Play title.
