LCSD now accepting designs for T-shirt contest | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
The Lexington County Sheriff's Department and Lexington County Sheriff's Foundation now are accepting designs from Lexington County high school students for the T-shirt that will be given to participants in the 2013 Jailbreak 5-K Run. The event raises money to benefit the Sheriff's Foundation, which is a non-profit group that pays for equipment, training and other items that the Sheriff's Department has difficulty acquiring in the governmental budget process.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts and Lexington County Sheriff's Foundation Board of Directors Chairman Jacob Cook said the student who submits the design that is chosen for use on the T-shirt will receive $200. The winner will be announced on the Sheriff's Department Facebook page.
Metts and Cook encourage students to submit designs for the T-shirt. Designs will be accepted until Friday, March 1.
All submissions for the T-shirt design should include the student's grade, full name, age, school that the student attends and contact information, Metts and Cook said. All submissions will become the property of the Sheriff's Foundation and will be retained by the Sheriff's Foundation.
Artwork for the T-shirt design must be submitted in Abobe Illustrator format, with colors limited to black, white, gray and one additional color that the student can choose, Metts and Cook said. Artwork can be submitted via email to Sheriff's Department Social Media Coordinator Erik Murrah at email@example.com. Artwork also can be submitted in person to Murrah or Administrative Assistant Kandace "Kay" Wood at the Lexington County James R. Metts Law Enforcement Complex, 521 Gibson Road, Lexington.
Students who have questions or who would like additional information about the T-shirt design contest can contact Wood at her office at (803) 785-4017 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Understanding Compassion Fatigue in Your Library
You love your job. You love your library. You love helping your patrons and giving them the extra attention that lets them know you care. But there are days when you've given just about all you have to give. At the end of the day you feel drained, or irritated, or both! You may have achieved "compassion fatigue." The term, which is used frequently in medical settings, describes a caregiver's reaction to chronic stress that results in feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, self-doubt, lack of focus and fatigue. This webinar will help you recognize the symptoms and the situations that may trigger compassion fatigue and understand how it affects you and your working environment. Explore ways to take care of yourself so you can continue to show compassion and give your patrons the care they need.

Hiring a Quality Lib. Dir. #5: Continued Success
Session 5 Continued Success Keeping with the established performance needs identified earlier, an evaluation tool should be created and used several times during the new director's probationary period. Critical also is the collection of input from peers, community stakeholders and subordinates, as it's often impossible for Board members to truly see how one person's leadership is affecting the whole. Also, at the point of offer, clear expectations, goals and consequences must be articulated so all avenues for potential success are open.

- The top design philosophies for building a mobile website
- Briefly explain each & dig into the primary performance implications it carries
- We'll show real world examples
- Explain what they did wrong
- Talk about how you can avoid these problems on your own site

Aaron Schock on Government Reform | |
Congress needs healthy balance in its membership for optimal performance. I believe my entrepreneurial and political background, and my record of getting things done will allow me to be a positive force in Congress on behalf of the people I serve.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D, FL-20): We, as Members of Congress, have responsibility not just for the institution, but for the staff that work for this institution, and to preserve the facilities that help support this institution. We have endeavored to do that responsibly, and I believe we have accomplished that goal.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SCALISE (R, LA-1): It's a sad day when someone attempts to cut spending in a bill that grows government by the size of 7%, and it's not allowed to be debated on this House floor. Some of their Members actually used the term "nonsense" and "foolishness" when describing our amendments to cut spending; they call that a delaying tactic. Well, I think Americans all across this country want more of those types of delaying tactics to slow down this runaway train of massive Federal spending. Every dollar we spend from today all the way through the end of this year is borrowed money. We don't have that money. We need to control what we're spending.
The House Committee on House Administration deals with the general administration matters of the United States House of Representatives, such as:
Congressional Summary: Resolution Disapproving of the President's appointment of four officers during a period when no recess of the Congress for a period of more than three days and expressing that those appointments were made in violation of the Constitution.
Text of Resolution:
OnTheIssues Notes:Pres. Obama attempted to appoint Elizabeth Warren to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in May 2011; House Republicans disapproved of Ms. Warren. House Speaker John Boehner disallowed the Senate's adjournment resolution, which meant the Senate was legally not adjourned and Pres. Obama could not make a "recess appointment" which would otherwise be allowed. This Resolution brings the issue to the fore again, for another set of Obama appointments for which House Republicans disapprove.

Cardinals sign Carpenter to six year, $52M deal | Tradition Field still on the table as possible future Astros site
I wanted to post this in the comments section of both of the February 11th news articles in the Press Journal about the picketing of CWA Bargaining Unit employees.
Not sure how many read these comments, but I thought these percentages were worth posting twice (under both news articles):
A pay cut can come in many forms. In the worst case scenario, according to the contract that the CWA Bargaining Unit has with the School Board, many of those employees (with a family) are currently paying $346.00 per month for the best (preferred) family health plan. That is 20% of an employee's annual pay if they make $20k a year. That is not including co-pays for doctor's visits, prescription co-pays, or the annual out-of-pocket deductible. I believe the school district raised the premiums in 2011 to $516.00 per month for the same plan? The CWA Union Members voted against that increase. That would have been a 10% increase in their health insurance premiums. Which would be a 10% cut in their net pay. On 12/4/2012, the School Board voted to not only increase the health insurance premiums to that amount, but to also include an additional cost to all the CWA Bargaining Unit employees of an additional $195.76 per month. For this same employee with a family, that would have been is another 11.7 % increase for health insurance premiums, which adds up to a total of a 21.7 % increase in this family's insurance premiums to $711.76 per month. This means a 21.7% decrease in this employee's take home pay. That is a huge pay cut for someone making a low annual income to begin with. In my opinion, it appears that the school district is pricing family health insurance so high that it is no longer affordable to these employees.
Add to that the fact that the School Board on 2/5/2013 voted NO for: annual salary steps, in-service incentive supplements, and Performance Bonuses for these employees. Has any other school district employees, besides the CWA Bargaining Unit employees with a family, taken such a huge "pay cut"? This certainly makes it clear why the CWA Bargaining Unit is picketing the School Board's decisions from their December and February meetings.
Good perspective from "Unappreciated".
Add to that the fact that the School Board on 2/5/2013 voted NO for: annual salary steps, in-service incentive supplements, and Performance Bonuses for these employees. Has any other school district employees, besides the CWA Bargaining Unit employees with a family, taken such a huge "pay cut"?
I was looking at the public website of the School District of Indian River County. On this site, you can read the Professional Support Staff hourly pay according to pay grade and number of years worked, how many days they get paid under each job title, and what the health insurance benefits costs that were approved by the School Board for the CWA Bargaining Unit at the meeting on 12/4/2012 at 12 pm.
If you take the lowest paid full time employee ... a custodian who has been employed by the school district for less than 5 years, he makes $9.96 per hour. He works 8 hours a day/evening. He gets paid for 250 days a year. He makes under $20,000 a year before taxes. This employee is married with 1 child. Subtract from that the School Board's vote to raise his "Family Plan" Health Insurance, he would be paying between 32% (for the lowest plan) and 42% (for the highest preferred plan) of his gross pay. After taxes, that doesn't leave this family with much for their basic needs. This family probably falls into the poverty level here in Indian River County.
Looking at some of the other jobs listed, there are higher pay grades, but many jobs are between 4 and 7.5 hours per day, employed for only 186 days (which apparently is the number of school days for students), and my guess is that their annual gross pay is probably under $20,000 as well. What percentage of CWA Bargaining Unit employees fall into that pay range, it does not say but looking at the job titles, I would guess there would be quite a few.
Also of interest, on the District School Board Business Meeting Minutes on 11/13/2012, there was an "Approval to Amend the 2012-2013 Salary Schedules" for non-bargaining employees – Dr. Adams. The net cost to the school district was approximately $500,000. Non-bargaining positions ... is that administrative positions? Was unsure which employees received this adjustment in their salaries?
Quite interesting to read all the information that is listed on the School District website!
Information about the CWA Bargaining Unit Employees:Employees include Bus Drivers, Bus Driver Assistants, Teacher Assistants, Self-care Aides, Computer Lab Assistants, Cafeteria Workers, as well as others.Most have to be employed by the school district for 5 years before they are eligible for a raise/step increase. Starting pay for grade 3 employee positions is $9.96 per hour.Most employees work between 4 and 7.5 hours a day on student school days. Most are only employed for 186 days per year. Many try to find and work part time jobs to try to supplement their income.The School Board voted in December to raise the Health Insurance Plan by $195.76 MORE per month for CWA Bargaining Unit employees ONLY. (All other employees are not paying this additional amount.) The percentage of their annual salary that they pay for health insurance (compared to all other employees) is considerably higher.There were many employees in the CWA Bargaining Unit that lost their jobs during the previous lay-offs.It is my opinion that these people are under-paid, often under-appreciated, hard-working employees who have a great deal of responsibility for the safety, education, and welfare of the students of Indian River County School District.

The sky at night, away from the lights of city or town, is a beautiful, fascinating place. There is so much to see: the Moon and stars; constellations and the Milky Way; bright planets and meteors; maybe even a comet or the Northern Lights. And it changes from hour to hour, night to night, and season to season.
Unfortunately, sharing all this with groups — especially with children — is difficult. Bright lights, clouds, bugs, cold or heat, and the obvious fact that it all takes place at night (mostly after bedtime); all of these make it hard to plan for some time under the stars.
Seeing Stars is a service that aims to make exploration of the night sky easy and fun for schools, libraries, and other groups who are interested in What's Up There.
Explore each of the pages of the site to find out more about Seeing Stars, or just to see more photos of objects in the nighttime sky, and, especially on this page, other photos I want to share. All were taken by me, Paul Kinzer, with modest amateur equipment, and most will show a larger version if you click on them! I'm glad to answer email questions at firstname.lastname@example.com .
April 3, 2013:
I went out tonight to take images of Comet PanSTARRS (officially designated C/2011 L4). It's been in the news, and visible in the sky, for weeks now. For the past few — and next few — nights, it's especially attractive because it's passing in front of the Andromeda Galaxy (also known as M31). I had a hard time finding the two objects in the sky because first, they are large but dim; and second, they were already near the horizon, ready to set, by the time the sky got truly dark after sunset. But I managed to get ten images with my Canon T1i (500D) DSLR. Each image was 30 seconds at ISO 800. I had hoped to take more, at longer exposure times, but these were all I got before a hill got in the way.
I also took ten 'dark images', with the lens cap on, of the same length and ISO setting, right after I finished the 'light images'. I then went home and loaded all of these on my computer and used a freeware program called DeepSkyStacker to process them. I'm not very experienced with it, and there's a huge learning curve to get over to use it really well, but combining the images works to get rid of the noise inherent in long exposures on DSLRs. The result looks very much like what I saw through my binoculars. I converted it to black and white because the background color in the original is the orangy-pink of light pollution, which I'd rather not preserve.
I used a great Nikon lens on my camera (with an adapter): the 180mm f/2.8 ED. I had hoped to take more, at longer exposure times, but these were all I got before a hill got in the way.Lenses are not at their sharpest wide open, so astrophptpgraphers often stop them down a bit. A trick I read about said to do something else instead: screw a reducing ring, usually used for filters, on the front of the lens, taking it from 72mm to 55mm. This acts as a lens aperture, closing it down to about f/3.5. Apparently, the internal lens diaphragm, located at the back, acts to make stars round, but bloated. This trick really worked! Stars were very sharp.
March 31, 2013: Some Film Astrophotos Revisited
I went to the film astrophotography page at the Cloudynights website tonight, because I hadn't been there in a while. Film is different from digital photography, and maybe nowhere more than for astronomy imaging. I won't go into the details here, because I'm an expert in neither, and it would take a whole book to explain, anyway. In my own book, I do spend a bit of time on astrophotography, and since I wrote the book in 2006-7, and it came out in 2008, most of what I wrote had to do with film (though I deliberately kept it basic enough that the information would be useful for digital, too). DSLRs had not yet become the commonly owned cameras they are now. I took all the photos in the book, including the cover, and all but one were taken on film.
But all the photos in the book, except for those on the cover, were printed in black and white. So I'm going to put a few of them here, in color, and with the scans re-processed. I've become better at processing digital images, since I've owned DSLRs for several years now, and digital scans of film get processed in the same way.
I may add more of these as I re-process more of the scans!
My son and I went on a trip to central Nebraska March 12-14 (2013) to try to get a good look at comet panSTARRS. We chose the location, more than 500 miles from home, because it was the closest that had a forecast for possible clear skies. It also is the one place that you can visit for the spring staging of sandhill cranes. Half a million of them stop for a few weeks along a 50 mile stretch of the Platte River, to rest and fatten up before heading on to their nesting grounds, which can be as far away as Alaska, and even Siberia. It was a great trip, and I wanted to share a couple of photos.
Here's a photo of the telescope I just finished building today (November 18, 2012), a 6-inch, f/10 (focal length 1500 mm) refractor with a lens made by Jaegers. They are no longer in business, but they made great lenses. I can't wait for clear skies to actually test it.
Here's a photo taken on June 5th, 2012, at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. This was the day that the planet Venus transited (crossed) the face of the sun; something it won't do again until the year 2117:

Urban Cycling and Commuting
Electric Feeling
Does he love his new e-bike as much as the e-bike loves him? Let's just say it's complicated.
Dennis Lewon
Bike commuting
Urban Riding

I took my
Via Rapido out for the first time on a crisp morning under a bright winter sun, making my way to the office on the Goose Creek Path in
Boulder, Colorado
. The wide, paved route, like the city's other bicycle trails, winds through town and makes you glad to be going to work, or anywhere, at least for a few moments, as you roll over and under roads and alongside trees and streams instead of cars and buses. The e-bike's quiet electric hum did nothing to diminish the path's appeal. The bright-red Rapido surged to its top speed of 20 mph as I effortlessly turned the pedals, and I idly wondered whether this is what taking
feels like.
Although I hadn't been sure what to expect of the bike, I wasn't surprised to be grinning. I'm plenty fit, but I'm not one to deprive myself of indulgences. When I run the Bolder Boulder, a 10K race, I stop for the Slip 'n Slide halfway into the course. Once, in New Zealand, I took a helicopter up a mountain, then rode downhill—talk about no pain, all gain. Now, zipping along , I felt sneaky, like when I gave my wife my anvil of a Gary Fisher so I could ride an Ellsworth.
Upright Citizens: New Commuter and Electric Bicycles
I'd come to own the Rapido almost accidentally. The bike was part of a silent auction at a fund-raiser for an orphanage in post-earthquake Haiti. While party-goers overbid on dance lessons and ski condos, they ignored the gleaming two-wheeler parked in the hall. I put down my mojito (sales tip for bike shops: serve drinks) and made the minimum bid—$500, about a third of the sticker price—and went to spread the word. I didn't need the bike. I pedaled to the office on a Specialized cruiser at an easygoing 10 miles per hour, feeling the breeze and watching for prairie dogs. Surely an elderly cyclist, someone with the desire but not the stamina, would raise me by 10 bucks and ride away with the deal of the night.
But no. In my besotted state I overlooked the fact that in Boulder, you could probably do better selling bikes that are harder to pedal. This is a town where athletes over 60, if they make any concession at all, may grudgingly increase their recovery period between centuries. At the office, none of my coworkers—who I sometimes accompany on the type of grueling lunch rides that readers of this magazine would recognize, even if I'm not truly a part of their spandex-clad culture—lined up to give the Rapido a try. In fact, they may have been surprised that Boulder hadn't banned electric bikes in the same way San Francisco outlawed Happy Meals.
I had no such hang-ups, at least not at first. Then one day the Rapido's battery died—who remembers to plug in a bike?—and instead of cutting my commute in half, the 52-pounder doubled it. Plugging the bike in left me unsettled: I disliked tapping into the grid for something I could do on my own power. Plus, I missed the prairie dogs. The next day, I rode the Specialized, and I rode it slow.
For a few weeks the iZip disappeared into the corner of the garage, next to the Adams tandem tagalong we don't use anymore because the kids all ride their own bikes. Bikes they have to pedal, sometimes hard, the way God—and Edoardo Bianchi—intended.
The e-bike might have started to collect cobwebs. But then came a spring day and a dilemma. I needed to get across town in the afternoon to coach my son's soccer team, then race back to the office. I stood in the garage, looking back and forth from the cruiser (take me, take me, you'll be late but happy) to the e-bike (come on, your time is precious, right?). I succumbed to expediency and saddled up the Rapido. The bike delivered me everywhere on time without having to resort to climbing into a car.
E-Bike Are an Absolute Sure Thing. Maybe.
I'll never give up the cruiser. But what won me over about the Rapido that day wasn't the convenience, or that it allowed me to avoid the car, or a contrarian delight I may have taken in riding an e-bike in Boulder. No, it was the moment I found myself behind a cyclist on a training ride—the kind who normally flashes by when I'm puttering along. Without thinking, I cranked the throttle and whizzed past him while barely turning the pedals. I felt a pang of remorse for giving in to the impulse—but then something else, something like the way you feel on a Slip 'n Slide detour in the middle of a 10K. Something like glee. If you can't enjoy a little guilty pleasure, you really shouldn't own an electric bike to begin with.

Thanks for your view - I agree fully - as the batteries improve I think more people will get back on bikes to avoid 6 or 7 dollar a gallon gas. We are reducing our gas use and now save almost 100 per month just running errands on my long haul trucker.

Skyhawk Football | Tray Scott - Defensive Line Coach
Tray Scott joined the UT Martin coaching staff in Aug. 2013. He will coach the Skyhawk defensive line.
Scott previously spent two seasons as a defensive line graduate assistant at Ole Miss under head coach Hugh Freeze.
Last season, the Rebels posted a 7-6 record with a win over Pittsburgh in the BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. Scott helped guide a swarming defense that ranked fourth in the country in tackles for loss (103), 11th in the country in sacks (38) and a top-25 rushing defense (129.3 yards per game).
On Oct. 6, Ole Miss forced a season-high six turnovers (four fumbles, two interceptions) against a Texas A&M team that had only turned the ball over once in its first four games. The Rebels sacked future Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel four times and tallied 13 tackles for loss against the Aggies.
Scott worked directly with Issac Gross at Ole Miss, who was a Freshman All-American and Freshman All-Southeastern Conference defensive tackle. Gross registered 40 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, two quarterback hurries and one pass breakup.
Before Ole Miss, Scott coached with Freeze at Arkansas State for the 2011 season. The Red Wolves finished the year with a 10-3 mark and a perfect 8-0 record in the Sun Belt Conference. Arkansas State rode a nine-game winning streak into the GoDaddy.com Bowl that season, capturing the conference championship in the process.
At Arkansas State, Scott coached Brandon Joiner, the 2011 Sun Belt Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Year. Joiner ranked fourth in nation with 13 sacks and is currently a member of the Cincinnati Bengals.
Scott also served as a defensive graduate assistant at his alma mater, Arkansas Tech University, from the fall of 2008 through the spring of 2010. Coaching alongside Steve Mullins, he helped the Wonder Boys to a 9-3 overall record with a 6-2 Gulf South Conference mark in 2009.
As a player at Arkansas Tech, Scott was a four-year letterman from 2003-07. He helped Arkansas Tech to a 24-8 record from 2004-06, including a 10-2 overall mark and a national playoff appearance in 2004.
Scott prepped at Crossett High School in his hometown of Crossett, Ark.
Scott earned his bachelor's degree in sociology from Arkansas Tech in 2008. He also received his Master's degree from Arkansas Tech in 2010 with a degree in college student personnel. He is married to the former Sarah Fancher.

Online Giving FAQ
If you have questions about Denver Seminary's online giving system, this is a great place to start. If you do not see your question here, please send an email to
How do I give to Denver Seminary online?
Making a gift to Denver Seminary online is easy.
First, either click on "Give Online" on the home page or on any of the giving pages. There is also a "Give Online" link at the end of this short tutorial. A new screen will open inside your browser. While it looks like a popup window, it is not; it is a screen "embedded" in the web page from which it was opened.
In this screen, you have the option to "login" -- please do this if you have given a gift or registered for an event with Denver Seminary before. You can also login if you are a member of the Denver Seminary online community using your normal user name and password.
If you have not done any of these things before, you must enter a valid email address into the top box of the embedded window. This email address allows us to send you an email to confirm your gift amount. It also helps us generate an account for you. We will automatically generate a password for your account which will enable you to log into our site. This password is emailed to you with your gift confirmation email, and you can change it at any time.
Fill out the other information on this screen, and please note that fields with an "*" are required. This information is required by the credit card processing company to confirm your identity and that the credit card information you enter is in fact your credit card. Please note that this information must be entered correctly or your credit card will be declined.
Once you have entered all of your information, click "Continue" at the bottom of the screen. You will now see a screen that allows you to determine your gift amount. In the first box enter the amount that you wish to give to the Seminary. Then you will need to select the fund to which you are making the gift -- this is done from the drop down box immediately under the word "Category". The default "category" is the Seminary Fund.
If you have multiple catgories to which you want to make a gift, be sure that the amount box includes only the amount you wish to give to the FIRST category. To add additional amounts and categories to go with those amounts, click the "More Categories" link under the Category drop-down. Additional amount and category boxes will appear. You can give up to three separate amounts to three separate categories. If you wish to give to more than three categories, you may call our office (303-762-6949) to make your gift over the phone, or you may fill out the form multiple times.
Once you have entered an amount and selected a category, you have the option to include a note to the Advancement Team regarding your gift or how you would like it to be processed.
If you would like to make this same gift automatically every month, the final box is for you to enter the day of the month (e.g., 15 for the 15th of each month) on which you would like the amount(s) to be charged to your credit card. This automatic payment can be cancelled at any time through the members section of our web site.
Next, click the "continue" button to go to the credit card information screen. From this screen, you can select the credit card type to which you would like to charge your gift. Denver Seminary accepts Visa, Mastercard and Discover. Enter the required information as it appears on your credit card -- please enter just the numbers for the credit card without spaces or dashes. Be sure to enter information correctly, or your credit card will be declined. On this page you have the option to save your credit card information to the system for future use. You do not need to check this box. If you decide to check it, your credit card information is secure. It is only used for your future gifts, so that there is less information for you to fill in.
Once you have filled in all of your credit card information, click the continue button. This will take you to a screen in which you can confirm your gift. Please confirm that the amount and category are correct, that your name and billing address are correct (remember, it must match the address on file with your credit card's issuing bank) and that correct credit card is listed. You may change the address or credit card information from this screen. If the amount is not correct, please click the "close" link in the top right corner and start over.
Once you click the "Submit Order Now" button, the "embedded" window will close and you will be redirected to your "Me" page of MyDenSem. You will receive an email confirmation of your gift once your credit card has processed. If at anytime you receive an error message that your credit card could not be processed, please check the troubleshooting question at the bottom of this FAQ or send an email to
Do I have to create an account to give online?
You can either Whether you create the account yourself or have the system automatically create the account for you, having an account on Denver Seminary's site streamlines the process for future gifts. You will not need to enter personal information again, as your name and address are stored with your account. If you selected the option to save your credit card information, that information will also not need to be entered again. Creating an account also allows us to send you a confirmation email of your gift. While you will still receive a gift receipt in the mail from Denver Seminary for tax purposes, there is still comfort in receiving that email confirmation and knowing that your gift went through.
Having an account on Denver Seminary's web site also gives you access to other parts of the site.

Flickr adds a credit system for tags
Flickr has quietly made a big change to its tagging system, which from now on will show who added a tag to a photo or video. As Flickr's Community Manager Heather Champ notes, this information was previously available through Flickr's API, but wouldn't show up on Flickr's photo pages. With the new system you simply hover over a tag and you'll get a tool tip that shows you the username of the person who added the tag.

Preventing viral hemorrhagic fevers, especially in developing nations, presents enormous challenges. Many of the social, economic and ecological factors that contribute to the sudden appearance and spread of infectious diseases — war, displacement, destruction of habitat, lack of sanitation and proper medical care — are problems that have no easy solutions.
If you live in or travel to areas where viral hemorrhagic fevers are common, take precautions to protect yourself from infection.
The yellow fever vaccine is generally considered safe and effective, although in rare cases, serious side effects can occur. Check with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about the status of the countries you're visiting — some require certificates of vaccination for entry. The yellow fever vaccine isn't recommended for children under 9 months of age or for pregnant women, especially during the first trimester. Vaccines for several less common types of viral hemorrhagic fevers are currently in development.
Do your best to avoid mosquitoes and ticks, especially when traveling in areas where there are outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fevers. Wear light-colored long pants and long-sleeved shirts or, better yet, permethrin-coated clothing. Don't apply permethrin directly to the skin. Avoid unnecessary activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active and apply mosquito repellent with a 20 to 25 percent concentration of DEET to your skin and clothing. If you're staying in tented camps or local hotels, use bed nets and mosquito coils.
If you live in an area where there are outbreaks of viral hemorrhagic fevers, take these steps to prevent rodent infestations in your home:

TL;DR: We're experimenting with "Ask Me Anything" threads on Inbound.org. Rand's up first today - look out for the official thread later :)
Okay, so the idea came from Reddit, and folks have mentioned it in this community already. They have an awesome community with many awesome??? ideas???. Redditers, we salute you. Now, down to business...
I love interview sites like Mixergy and the many interviews the community posts, but it's waaaay more cool when you get to ask the questions :)
"Ask Me Anything" on Inbound.org is a discussion-thread where an interviewee will answer any questions posed by the community for one day.
First up, Rand Fishkin, who has kindly given up time today (from 4:30pm GMT, 11:30am EST and 8:30am PST). And yes, you can ask *anything*.
But this is an experiment*, and if there's no real conversation (i.e. boring questions) or it goes so off-topic it's irrelevant (in the not-so-fun way), we won't run them again.
What I'm hoping is you guys all dive in, ask intelligent questions, get an awesome discussion going and tell your friends about it. If that happens, we'll definitely look to running more … especially with interesting people who aren't active members on Inbound.org who should be.
Potential for awesomeness: Pretty. Damn. High. (I'd love to have the Head of Content Strategy at Redbull on Inbound.org!)
*Experiment implies this has some rigorous way of measuring success. It doesn't. We'll be going on gut feel. The result of today will either "feel right" or won't.
Hence the "experiment". You're right. It's ridiculous (but a nice problem to have). Whilst Rand/interviews should be able to pick questions to answer, an indication of how important the question is to the community could be given by upvotes.
I'll write up a debrief!
Scott Cowley Jan 16 2013 Link
Reddit has published some interesting stuff about their comment algorithm, which would be worth looking into. After the AMA today, it's apparent that good questions will be neglected in favor of "fast" questions.
Mike Essex Jan 16 2013 Link
Sounds like a great idea Ed. There's quite a few industry Twitter chats and Hangouts that go down well so I don't see why this wouldn't work also.
I'm excited for it! Will post here in 20 mins :-)
Diego D. C. Isaac Jan 16 2013 Link
Rand, I'm from Brazil and a huge fan. If you could change anything on Google (the way it works indexing/crawling), what would you do? In other words: are you happy with the way things are in SEO market or SEO World?
This is an awesome idea and the next step of evolution toward this becoming THE most beneficial site for inbound marketers. Well done Rand and Ed. I've publicized this to my 30K followers on Google+ as well as to several active inbound-related communities there.
Tom Roberts Jan 17 2013 Link
Loved it Ed, was really fun to watch.
As a shameless AMA request: Wil Reynolds - I'm getting a serious man-crush on that guy.

Ed - I had serious difficulties with following the AMA on my phone. Slow to load; nested replies so narrow they couldn't be read properly; login taking me off-page so it had to re-load the whole thing; no obvious way to direct link to a specific comment.
If those things were tidied up it would be a much better experience, IMO. Content was great and thanks to you and Rand for putting the show on, and to the community for the quality of their questions.

When I first received my clear pickguard, I was disappointed that it wasn't clear, but had a frosted appearance. Only after much examination did I realize there was a protective film applied over the guard; it's not obvious that it's there. The film is quite uniformly applied and tightly adhering. Once removed, there was a glossy clear guard underneath. I wish the guard was a bit thicker, but it does protect against pick marks and looks good.
I always wanted to try a clear pick guard and this was a great choice. Perfectly shaped, professionally packaged, and a snap to install. Thanks!
I purchased a tortoise pickguard a while back for use on an old acoustic guitar. The guard looked good, was of decent quality and adhered well. I recently purchased a clear guard for my new acoustic guitar. As noted in other reviews, the guard material is very thin. But most disappointing is that the clear guard was not clear, but has a frosted appearance. I decided not to install it on my nice tiger eye maple guitar.
I ordered two of these clear pickguards in the Summer of 2010--both for gloss guitars. When they arrived, I found that they have a matte finish. I went back and revisited the listing on StewMac, and realized it doesn't say either glossy or matte. So I used them anyway. More recently, in December 2010, I ordered two more, because I'd picked up two new guitars, both with satin finish, one of which was a Seagull S6 (pictured). I assumed that when I received the pickguards, they would again be matte finish, but they were glossy finish. I'm not sure that StewMac knows what they actually have and would be concerned about ordering again without some clarification on their site. I am reluctant to reorder now not knowing whether I'll get glossy or matte finish clear pickguards.
VintageGuitars, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have checked stock and confirmed that all of these acoustic pickguards are glossy. We apologize for the inconvenience this caused you. When you are ready to reorder, feel free to call us 800-848-2273 and we will gladly verify our stock at that time.
It's very thin .. but as an alternative for low-end, fulfills its function. Not good for quality guitars ..
I recently purchases a few tortoise, black and clear pickguards. The Tortoise guards are nice, but the black and clear guards are junk. Save your money. I threw mine away. They're clearly not up to standards. They're soft, scratch easily, and they're thin. But what do you expect for less than $4?
Over the years I have purchased three of the clear pickguards. They are very easy to apply. You can customize them to fit various guitars from a parlor to a dreadnought. They provide the right amount of protection for the top without hiding the beauty of the wood or the finish. They are a great value for the outlay.
I installed the tortoise pick guard on my two most recently constructed D Model guitars. They look great!!!! I had searched for tortoise pick guards and most that looked decent were pricey. These are very reasonably priced and look great which inturn add to the value of my guitars but keep the price down so more people can afford to purchase and play them. Thanks Stemac. I can always count on you to find and supply the right products.
I looked at other well known brands and they looked dull with colors that were undefined and bleed reds and browns together. The look was not expensive or impressive. This Tortoise pickguard looks absolutely fantastic on the guitar and I will use this item again for future projects.
I was a little apprehensive at fist about applying it to my new Washburn WD10SCE. Did the job. I followed the instructions for prep and I love the look and protection the pick guard provides. Make sure you place it where you want it the 1st time.

German website benm.at has developed a full-scale physical mockup of what they believe the iPhone 5 will look like. The prototype was created based on CAD designs, hardware components, pre-release phone cases and believable user-created designs.
The end result is a very realistic device that is thinner than the iPhone 4 and features a tapered teardrop shape. The teardrop design is thicker at the top of the phone and tapers down towards the bottom. Thickness is measured at 6.86mm at the top and 5.33mm at the bottom.
The back of the shell was machined from a single block of aluminum which was then treated with glass pearls to mimic the rough texture found on the back of the iPad. Gone are the 90-degree edges from the iPhone 4 which are replaced with curved corners like the iPad 2 has.
The prototype is only 1.34mm wider than the iPhone 4. The home button is now an oval shape and is rumored to be capacitive like the rest of the screen. It is believed that a mechanical button like on current iPhones takes away from valuable space inside the device.
The only key element that the designer was unsure about is the camera and LED flash placement. As such, it was left in the current iPhone 4 location on the mockup.
Apple will be announcing the next generation iPhone at a media event in Cupertino on October 4 at 10am local time.

Seriously, it's just a phone...
I love the iPhone, but the sheer, unnecessary attention this device is getting across the web these days is driving my nuts.
seriously cant believe the effort some people will go to, if the minute differences in case design between each iphone keep you up at night, something is wrong.
Agreed. Yeah their really cool, but its not going to be anything that great when it comes out. People have really high expectations for this, but in reality its just the same phone, but with more ram, better processor, better camera, and a little bit bigger screen. I just don't get why its so hyped for this, but the droid bionic has no publicity at all, and has basically all the features the iphone 5 is supposed to have.
"The end result is a very realistic device that is thinner than the iPhone 4 and features a tapered teardrop shape."
Taped teardrop? Isn't it a trapezoid?
This is Apple we are talking about here people, allot of the things their fans do don't make sense, this hype and craziness is just part of the Apple product release process
Amazing the hype around this device. I'm NOT exactly pro apple and I cannot wait to just finally see this thing. I think I might even buy it too! GG Apple marketing.

No -- YOU -- DI-UNHT!!! NO YOU DI-UHNT!!!!
Oh now you done it. You just had to go and open up that particular can-o'-whoot-a$$. It is MORE than merely a phone, comrade!!! It is practically an INSTITUTION. It is right up there with the father, the son, and the holy see.
I'm just kidding. You're more than right. In my view, it's LESS than a phone. A phone, in my book, must have one of them thar curly-q cords that runs from the ol' transceiver down to the base. It also must be black, have a 12-button keypad, and a big, bright, red LED lamp to tell me when a call is coming in.
Get Smart or Batman. Your call. But until they can build iPhones into wrist-watches, they can't even get all **** Tracy. Yet.
If that happens though, I fear for the very existence of humanity.
And SINCE WHEN does D i c k Tracy get censored...?! Sheesh... come on guys. Give it a rest, would ya?!
D i c k Tracy is a kid's comic book. And a PG-rated movie. Wow. Please -- oh, please...

For some extreme apple fans this is actually true, well, their comments definitely insinuate it.
Maybe if i made a iPhornografi site i could make good coin i can already picture it, 2 iPhones one cup!

Sure. I remember the Mac Evangelist. He's probably still out there, although I haven't heard about him in years.
I used to prefer Macs too, until I grew a brain.
Where are the rainbows and unicorns?
Hmm, I think I would like to count the days for an real iPhone 5 release, too many rumors about the iPhone 5 mockup, this one seems different from the one I saw in iFunia news blog, and there are more mockups, so just wait and see what the real iPhone 5 look like.
What a waste of time and money! Can't believe they made their own mock physical iphone5. It's all about getting hits/exposure for their site/group.
im holding out for the iphone12 to be released next summer. I cant wait
Boy.. is this level of consumerist obsession fresh or what! Makes me wish for nuclear winter just to see the snowflakes fall.
Sure hope it's 4G for all the hype.
Non News is good News?
Some people just couldn't wait the 4 days to the official announcement huh.
What happened with the phones that just ring, send and receive text messeges?? Good days those...
That website is Austrian, not German. .de is Germany, .at is Austria...
WAY WAY WAY too much hype on this phone. Great, its got a bigger screen and a tear drop body like the ipod, WHO CARES ENOUGH TO MAKE A PHYSICAL MOCKUP? seriously. This is NOT landing on the moon to have an iphone (well if your talking about pricing, maybe) Just a couple days b4 the opening, im not buying it (sorry about the shouting)
Apologizing for shouting does not make it permissible.
Well said sir, there are an almost infinite number of better things to do in one's life than spending all your time guessing what the next iPhone might look like ....

Mr.Ibrahim Harun
" houssein The Red Sea Afar People in particular and Eritrean People as whole is suffering under the Eritrean regime (Shabia) in Asmara.To mention few my people is facing Mass murder, Discrimination, Rape, Blockage, Torture and countless offenses.Basic human and democratic rights are violated and there is no rule of law.
The only solution left for the Afar People in this situation is to struggle and fight for their right. Our struggle is not only struggle for Democracy rather for "Survival" because we are facing a "Mass Genocide" by the regime and heading to "Non-existance".
So I call on our brethren Afar wherever they are and International community to support our struggle and help the indigenous Afar people in Eritrea"

Don't Stop Bee-lieving
Thank God I'm already allergic to bees so I can politely tell you to piss off because you're creeping me out.
Don't Stop Bee-lieving,-
Those aren't bees. They are yellow jackets. Interesting fact, if you are allergic to bees, you probably aren't allergic to yellow jackets and hornets since they have a different venom. Oh, and they hurt more than bees. Damm yellow jackets. As for the person, what a meathead. Bees are nice and useful, yellow jackets are mean and useless. (And yes, I'm a beekeeper.)
Either he's an exterminator in between gigs (Yellowjackets are best removed by professionals, they are NASTY!) or there's a local athletic team by that name that he's really into. Still, nice yellowjackets, good detail and well put together for something I'd as soon not stick around long enough to get a clear view of!
As to the double glasses, beats me. Probably can't afford new prescription lenses and has stacked some of those cheapie glasses you get OTC for sewing and crafts atop his existing ones just so he can see where he's going. -
This is the only pic here that has ever made me a bit ill. I know those are fake. I have a severe hatred of the members of the wasp family. I don't like the idea of an insect thats only purpose is to sting you.
Once, I was stung twice by a baby wasp that got stuck in my hair. It actually didn't hurt that much. My anti-wasp stance was established long before this.
I think flies are the only insect I hate more, and that is because they are fucking gross.
The best way to get rid of a nest is when it is just starting out, and there's only 1 or 2 of them hanging around it. The method I use is to hit them with the garden hose on single stream at full blast. When they fall to the ground, you keep hitting them with the water to drown them since you can then take care of the nest unhindered later.

For most would-be artists, not using reference is a far bigger problem than using reference.
And when I say most, I mean most.

"Art is supposed to punch you in the brain, and it's supposed to stay punched."
-Marc Maron
It's really odd seeing the attitude that the truly advanced can use reference because they're good at it, but beginners shouldn't because they won't be. Well how the hell are you supposed to learn how to properly use reference if you don't make it part of your process as a beginner?
I can't use reference as well as Norman Rockwell. I also can't draw as well as Norman Rockwell. Both are skills that I need to learn if I ever hope (possibly a vain hope, but it's worth trying) to be as good as Norman Rockwell.

"Skill is the result of trying again and again, applying our ability and proving our knowledge as we gain it. Let us get used to throwing away the unsuccessful effort and doing the job over. Let us consider obstacles as something to be expected in any endeavor; then they won't seem quite so insurmountable or so defeating." - Andrew Loomis
You're right, it's an opinion, you can disagree with it, but you can't claim the higher ground by flatout saying I "have it wrong" for believing what I said.
Saying there are many artists that know how use reference might be true, but it's just as subjective as saying that there are more artists that don't. Your opinion holds no more weight, and is no more factual that mine. Putting up a link with a handful of artists that do know how to use it, is meaningless. One could easily counter that with a 100 examples where they don't.
My Self-Portraits
"Work for your self first. You can paint best the things you like or the things you hate. You cannot paint well when indifferent.
Express a mental opinion about something you are sensitive to in life around you. There is a profound difference between sensitivity and sentimentality."
~ John Sloan Gist of Art
Even if so, dont you think in those cases where they don't know how to use it using it will make them learn how to use it over time aka learning just the way it is with almost everything ?
Did you ever notice that most of the connon misconceptions about what is cheating in art come from people who are not actually artists ? "OMG he is tracing his own linework! OMG he draws from a foto! etc."
Funny thing those guys who are actually artists tell you the exact opposite. The more of those misconceptions about cheating I tossed out of the window the more it helped me advance. Now Betty Edwards want me to use a picture finder wich gave me this " Isn't that cheating?" sensation. Well who is gong to know better a newbie like me or a gal who used to teach students for years with great success?
The hell kind of statement is that? All art is referenced. Whether you're putting down a line because of what you saw two seconds ago or two years ago. On top of that I'd say pretty much every great artist throughout history outside of the realm of abstract art as has used direct reference to create there works.
If you don't learn from looking at real life reference then you're only going to learn by copying someone else's abstractions of real life like people who draw chibi or whatever other cartoon style.
All art is just an abstraction of real life how much your artwork reflects your own unique style heavily depends on how much you draw/paint from observation.
What lame ass cheaters.

Also worth remembering:
There are things which are simply impossible to get without a reference. Some of the grestest artists in history missed this one about horses just because they couldn't "freeze" a horse in motion to understand all the details, while a film can.
And what about wingbeats in birds? Insect bodies? Sea depths? The other known planets?
Don't think just of human poses, the need for reference becomes obvious when you try to draw unusual things.
I can. It's much harder to draw without reference than with. You build a visual library.
This is simple because it actually depends on how one uses the photo. If I have never seen a type of fish in the sea, I'm sure not going to be doing life drawing of that kind of fish. I'm going to look at a photo and get what I need from it.Most artists that use reference aren't skillful enough to really integrate and mold the photo into their own work,
It was already said that there is a difference between referencing and copying
So yeah, I'm gonna nail you for backing up a fail statement with another statement of fail.
A lot of posts in this thread suffer from the toupee fallacy:"I can always spot a toupee." No you can't. You can always spot a bad toupee. A good toupee, by definition, is one you can't spot.

Potassium is an important mineral used in various bodily functions. It is an important factor in the maintenance of the body's acid-base balance and nerve conduction, as well as the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes. Potassium is found in a number of foods, including dairy, fish and other meats, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Because food processing reduces the levels of naturally occurring nutrients in foods, supplementation may be necessary to insure adequate intake.
Potassium Gluconate Powder can be added to baths for additional absorption through the skin.

It is not yet completely clear that screening is cost effective or saves significant numbers of lives. It is also not completely clear what the best screening test is. In general, the following recommendations could be made.
Testicular cancer: Cancer of the testis represents the most common type of cancer in males between 25 and 40 years of age. The risk of the disease is increased if the man has undescended testes. Some doctors have advocated for an annual screening test or examination of the testes by a doctor. Others have suggested an educational campaign for men along the same lines as the breast self-examination guidelines for women.

Washington County Free Library is sponsoring its 26th Battle of the Books competition.
The program was begun by librarians Donna Parks and Jeff Ridgeway in 1986 to bring children and books together and to reward children who like to read.
The program has evolved over the years, but its goal remains the same — to pair great kids with great books.
Ridgeway, from the library's Children's Department, and his staff have selected a set of 20 books for children to read, be creative about and engage in friendly competition.
The library issues a set of 20 books to registered teams of children in grades four to six.
The same set is used for all teams.
All teams must have an adult team manager who is responsible for arranging transportation to and from the rounds, turning in team projects in February and returning the set of books at the conclusion of the program.
Team managers must either be Washington County residents or have a Washington County Free Library card.
Teams have from the time of registration in November until the first Saturday in March to read the books and to complete two projects about the books.
The teams then take part in a written round held at Eastern Elementary School.
The round consists of 40 questions about the books. The scores from the projects plus the written round score are totaled, and the top eight scoring teams advance to a final round.
Every child who takes part will receive a free paperback book and a certificate of participation provided by the library. Teams that advance to the final round will receive trophies or a gift certificate from a local business.
Over the past 25 years, parents and children who have participated in the program have told the library staff about the books that they read and have loved. Books chosen for the competition include Newbery-winning and honor books, popular fiction, children's classics and books that exhibit a unique perspective on the world.
Teams can register at any library in the Washington County Library system throughout the month of November.
Creative projects are due in February and the battles take place in March.
For more information, call Ridgeway at 301-791-5169 or send an email to email@example.com.
