Hi Y'all!
Let me take a few minutes to introduce myself… Like many of us at this age, I am divorced, I am a mother of 3 great kids, I drive an SUV and I have a regular job. I'm a normal everyday woman; however there is a difference about me. I am alive! In every sense of the word ALIVE!..Best decison i didnt make!! ALIVE and LIVING FULL!!!
Too many years of regret, not saying what I should or doing what I wanted. I got a wakeup call, a second chance and took it! I changed everything about me. I de-cluttered my life. I turned myself around and choose to live a life without regret. I took the chance that most people don't. These are the adventures that go along with that growth.
I now live without fear and I admit to being a whole lot of just a little too much! I have new outlook on every aspect of my life, emotionally, spiritually, sexually, personally and professionally. I'm determined to make the rest of my life count! I have a no nonsense attitude and tell it like it is. I am the same person today that you wil meet tomorow. I admit regularly to having raunchy funny thoughts and sometimes even a potty mouth. Laughter is the key to survival in my book. I am outspoken and often say too much but i promise you I am 100% honest. What I say may be raw, but will be accurate. I am not perfect and have made and will continue to make mistakes. Hey, I'm only human! I am as real as they come. I can and will admit my mistakes. I take the lessons that I learn and use them foing forward with absolute positively. My hope and mission that you will gain some insight and growth from my thoughts, empower you to make some changes, take some chances, or mearly just think about topics in another light.
I am that gal pal that you would love to have a drink with and laugh until we nearly wet our pants and faces hurt from smiling so much. I can't promise polished, but I do promise a unique insight and definitely some fun! Come along on this journey of discovery with me.
Peace, Love, and fabulousness….

NAB Video: More Details on the Canon-Technicolor DSLR Partnership
While Sony is charging $3,300 for its S-LOG upgrade to the F3, Canon and Technicolor are releasing a Log-based picture profile for Canon DSLRs for free. Because the downloadable picture style won't be available until April 30, it remains to be seen how much more latitude the new setting will offer over user-generated flat picture styles. If the new Technicolor color science is substantially superior to what's available today, Canon's plans to release it free will, as Technicolor's rep says, "make up for it in volume." Dan Chung has more details:

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

Only for 5D mark II?
It's for all of them, (Canon) it's just most people use the 5D so they used it as an Example. Your good! Lol
Im sure it will fot for other Canon cameras also.
Clayton on 04.15.11 @ 10:24AM
I'm not an expert, but I don't think a picture style has the ability to increase latitude. The chip, or processor would determine that. The picture style has the ability to play with the values and representation of the image given a fixed latitude.
That's not entirely true. The picture style defines the mapping between the raw frames, and the stored encoded data. So while the picture style is not 'increasing' the latitude available to the sensor, in this case it is storing as much of that latitude as is possible. Put simply, as far as post production is concerned – yes, there is greater latitude in the .mov file.
crookedpathfilms.com posted a brochure Technicolor is handing out at NAB.
a little info from it:
Can it be used for all EOS cameras?
"Although the Technicolor CineStyle was designed and optimized for the Canon EOS-5D Mark II camera, the Technicolor CineStyle can be installed and used on any current Canon EOS DSLR camera"
so a picture style it is, and a very flat one for that matter
I'll give it a try, but I already gave up on "shooting flat" a few months back: when you don't need all that latitude, shooting flat just means more work in post and a final image with more noise, more codec artifacts, and, in my case, given my lack of expertise in color correction, uglier skin tones
and I hardly ever need the extra latitude of a flat picture style: most often if I set a flat picture style it just expands the flat tails of my histogram, from 1/5th of the range to 1/3rd or more
Some sort of the flat picture style is a must for high-noon outdoor shots. When reflectors are not practical, standard pictures style produces way too much contrast. One of the hallmark trait of film is perceived smooth range of dynamic range, especially in shadows without blowing out the highlights.
I personally am looking forward to this new picture style and am very curious to see how much more information we can squeeze out of Canon cameras vs super flat picture style I have been using.
A few people were asking the question before whether or not this was just another flat picture style, and being that I got a chance to talk with a Technicolor Colorist myself, I thought I could answer that question a little better.
What Technicolor has done is not only made a Picture Style, but they have also made modifications to the way that picture style is captured. A normal picture style is a .PF2 file. This means that your getting a REC709 .PF2 (Picture Style) out of the camera right now.
So upon the release of this on the 30th, I'm not sure the actual file type, but it will be different from a normal .PF2 file. This is what is going to allow you to output a LogC picture style (with Color Modifications). This will be a rather flat look, however it's MEANT FOR GRADING! If you have ever seen footage on RED Cameras before it's graded, the look is going to be very similar to the look your going to get on Canon's LogC Technicolor Picture Style.
Hope this helped a bit. : )
Thanks J.S. — looking forward to it.

When will this download be avalable.?
Says right there in the post — April 30.
Can't wait to get my hands on this!
Does this also work for external recorders? Or is it only to the CF on board cards? I don't quite understand the process.
sammy on 04.22.11 @ 9:10AM
if this makes the image too flat….are you going to be able to have enough
color control to bring the image where you want it.
Shane Hurlbut said he had this problem and so he started shooting
to get the image in camera as close as he could to his final desired look.
Latitude 8Bits = 6stop
Latitude 10 bits = 10 stops
if they won't…
h264 is the problem.
J.S. nice!

Anyone who has read much John le Carré is probably well acquainted with George Smiley, the quintessential British spy character of the Cold War era (no, it's not James Bond). In Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which is the first book in the Karla trilogy (released later as the omnibus The Quest for Karla), Smiley is tasked with eradicating a KGB mole who has infiltrated the sanctum of SIS (British Intelligence). In the film, Swedish director Tomas Alfredson paints a picture as raw and uncompromising as the 1974 novel and more engrossing than the 1979 BBC miniseries with Gary Oldman turning in an Oscar worthy performance as the MI6 veteran.

MOVIE REVUE: A Good Return on The DebtAugust 31, 2011
Oftentimes when thrillers attempt to weave the realism of a historically relevant era into their plot, they get wrapped up in the mechanics of what the characters are doing instead of the characters themselves. The Debt, John Madden's re-imagining of the 2007 Israeli thriller Ha-Hov, does precisely the opposite. Communicating its intentions through emotional complexities, raw tension and the organic feel of its environment, The Debt accomplishes something a little different – it allows us to sympathize with the spies.
MOVIE NEWS: The Debt Arrives in Theatres August 31stFebruary 9, 2011
The espionage thriller The Debt will be distributed for Miramax by Focus Features and Universal Pictures International. Focus, starring Helen Mirren and Sam Worthington will release The Debt on Wednesday, August 31st.
MOVIE REVUE: A Supernatural EclipseApril 9, 2010
Director Conor McPherson has brought the fear and supernatural realm into his latest film, The Eclipse. This movie brings the type of horror film that I personally would like to see more of in today's movies. Eclipse brings the ghost stories we grew up to while combining a budding love story with a hint of raw human condition making it into a beautifully crafted work of art. It shows us through the lead character how we all must carry on living after we mourn the death of a loved one. This movie goes to show that it does not need gallons of blood and guts to emphasize the storyline. If there was ever a haunting Irish tale to be told on screen, then my lads and lasses, I would not dare disappoint you with this review.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--Southern Baptist Convention President Bobby Welch is urging all Southern Baptists to pray fervently for the upcoming elections in Iraq, specifically that democracy would prevail and God would protect those involved in the historic event.
"On behalf of the Southern Baptist Convention, I would like to call for two days of prayer and fasting on Jan. 30 and 31," Welch said in a Jan. 26 statement to Baptist Press. "Due to requests from our chaplains and missionaries in Iraq, we need to dedicate these days to praying that democracy would be realized in Iraq, the people of Iraq will be safe and will vote, and especially for the safety of our troops."
In mentioning the American soldiers, Welch cited Joshua 1:9, which says, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
"Our men will be involved in extraordinary dangers, tasks and pressures as they deliver voting ballots and equipment to villages and cities throughout Iraq," Welch said. "This is a political battle that very much needs spiritual intervention. Our men are in the arena of the enemy. God bless our soldiers."
Welch's appeal coincided with the deadliest day of the entire Operation Iraqi Freedom campaign as a helicopter crash killed 30 Marines and one Navy sailor who were on a mission to help prepare the country for the elections. Reports indicated the incident was caused by weather rather than a direct attack by Iraqi insurgents.
During a news conference later that day, President Bush said the crash report would be "very discouraging to the American people," but he emphasized the importance of a proper perspective.
"We value life, and we weep and mourn when soldiers lose their life," he said. "But it is the long-term objective that is vital, and that is to spread freedom. Otherwise, the Middle East will continue to be a cauldron of resentment and hate -- a recruiting ground for those who have this vision of the world that is the exact opposite of ours."
Bush said he is fully aware of the dangers surrounding the implementation of democracy in Iraq because terrorists have declared war against such progress, but the elections will go forward Jan. 30 as Iraqi voters demonstrate their desire for freedom.
"Across the world, freedom has deadly enemies. Yet across the world, freedom has great and growing momentum," the president said. "There have been enormous sacrifices made by some of our citizens in the spread of freedom. Families suffer as the result of the loss of a loved one. We continue to offer our condolences and prayers for those who do suffer. We'll honor the memories of their loved ones by completing our missions."
The number of Iraqis who turn out to vote is not as significant as the fact that they're voting, Bush said, because democracy is a long process that is just beginning in that country. He reminded reporters of his close relationship with Prime Minister Koizumi of Japan and said it wasn't long ago that Japan was a bitter enemy.
"And today, because Japan is a democracy and a free country, the Japanese are strong allies with the United States of America and we're better off for it," he said.
Bush said he is impressed by the bravery of the Iraqi citizens who are working hard to ensure a successful election, and he anticipates a "grand moment in Iraqi history." If a couple of years ago he had said the Iraqi people would be electing their own government in January 2005, Bush said he would have received doubtful reactions compared to the emerging hope for democracy in Iraq.
"I urge all people to vote. I urge people to defy these terrorists," the president said. "These terrorists do not have the best interests of the Iraqi people in mind. They have no positive agenda. They have no clear view of a better future. They're afraid of a free society."
Bush reiterated that democracy is a work in progress and results will not be immediate. He said the United States is still working to perfect democracy more than 200 years after its establishment, and its flaws were evident when the founding fathers declared all people equal but all people were not treated equally in this country for more than a century. Democracy, Bush said, is the work of generations.
Welch's call to prayer for Iraq follows a similar appeal from a Southern Baptist chaplain in the region, Capt. Lyle Shackelford, who requested specific prayer for U.S. soldiers involved in the electoral process.
"The insurgents do not want Iraqi citizens to vote, so they do not want the equipment to arrive at the polling stations," Shackelford wrote in an e-mail from Iraq. "Timely delivery must occur so that the elections occur. Freedom will not ring throughout this country if the voting process fails."
Shackelford recounted: "I will pray with my soldiers before they leave on their convoys and move outside our installation gates here in [southern Iraq]. They will be driving into the arena of the enemy delivering the voting machines and equipment. It is not a game for them, but an historical mission that is extremely dangerous.
"Your prayer support and God's intervention are needed to safeguard our soldiers and give democracy a chance in the war-torn country," the chaplain wrote.

Forward LaRon Dendy is expected to sign with the Cyclone men's basketball team tomorrow. The Des Moines Register has a preview of Greg McDermott's fall class, which includes juco forward Marquis Gilstrap and freshman point guard Chris Colvin.
Here's the Register's recap on the Cyclones' three recruits:
LaRon Dendy, 6-9 forward, Greenville, S.C. (Indian Hills C.C., Ottumwa) — Played in just eight games as a sophomore for the Warriors because of a stress fracture in his right leg. Averaged 8.1 points and 4.1 rebounds for a 30-4 team. Averaged 8.5 points and 8.3 rebounds as an Indian Hills freshman.
Chris Colvin, 6-3 guard, Chicago, Ill. (Whitney Young) - Helped team to the Class 4-A state title and a 26-9 record. Averaged 12.3 points and 6.2 rebounds. First-team all-Public League selection by the Chicago Sun-Times. Second-team all-state selection by the Chicago Tribune and Illinois Basketball Coaches Association.
Marquis Gilstrap, 6-6 forward, Covington, Ga. (Gulf Coast C.C.) - Was named Panhandle Conference player of the year after averaging 22.6 points and 10.1 rebounds for a team that finished 24-9 and was a runner-up to Chipola in the state playoffs. He was the only player in the league to average a double-double. Shot 48.3 percent from the field, 40.9 percent from 3 (52-of-127) and 74.8 percent from the free-throw line. Was a National Junior College Athletic Association honorable mention all-American.
The star of the class is Colvin, out of Chicago.
"He'll fit in great because of his ability to get to the basket," Iowa State coach Greg McDermott said. "We needed another person to break down defenses and create for his teammates. Chris really fits that bill.

Goshen News
---- — ELKHART — Patrick Industries Inc. had near-record revenue for 2013 and record revenue for its fourth quarter.
The company manufactures and distributes components for the recreational vehicle, manufactured housing and other industries.
The company also announced it would increase its share repurchase program to $20 million.
Full Year 2013 Financial Results
According to the company, net sales for 2013 increased $157.5 million or 36 percent to $594.9 million from $437.4 million in 2012. According to the company, 2013 revenue from the RV industry, which represented approximately 72 percent of yearly sales, increased by 44 percent. Wholesale unit shipments to the RV industry increased approximately 12 percent in 2013 compared to the prior year.
Revenues from the MH industry, which represented 16 percent of the company's 2013 sales, rose 13 percent compared to the prior year as wholesale unit shipments increased by approximately 10 percent.
The industrial market, which accounted for 12 percent of the company's 2013 sales, saw new housing starts increase by approximately 18 percent for 2013 compared to the prior year.
The company said net income and net income per diluted share for full year 2013 were exceeded only by 2012's results due to a non-cash income tax credit recorded in that year.
Fourth quarter
The company reported net sales for the fourth quarter increased $40.5 million or 38.1 percent, to $146.6 million from $106.1 million in the same quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a 43 percent increase in the company's revenue from the RV industry, which represented approximately 71 percent of the company's fourth quarter 2013 sales.
Todd Cleveland, president and chief executive officer, said, "We are pleased with our fourth quarter revenue and profitability growth compared to 2012 as we continue to realize the benefits of our strategic and operational initiatives executed in 2012 and 2013 as well as growth in all three of the end markets we serve.
"Our gross margin in the fourth quarter of 2013 improved over the prior year quarter reflecting the positive contribution of acquisitions, market share gains, and an increase in our RV industry unit content."

Building a combat system for large battles
I'm trying to devise a combat system for a risk/div hybrid that's D&D themed. First, there are four types of forces: army, navy, air force, and special forces. Then, you can make as many different types of subunits as you'd like. For instance, one air force subunit might consist of griffon riders, another raptorans, and a third might be airships. The reason for allowing multiple types of subunits is that they all have different costs to build, and different upkeep costs. Each subunit will have the following relevant combat stats:
Power: Default is 1.2 for special forces, 1 for others.
Combat skill modifier: this is a player score that all units use by default, though through research, training, etc. subunits can raise their modifier. Think of it as an ability score modifier or skill modifier in D&D.
Terrain: skill in various modes of terrain, which are earth, aquatic, and airborne. Defaults are are army having +2 on earth, navy +2 at sea, airborne +2 in the air, and special forces +2 everywhere.
Quantity: number of subunits
Units consist of 5 subunits of the same type (no mixing). Units with less than 5 subunits have their contribution to combat reduced to 80% if it's a unit of 4, 60% if it's a unit of 3, etc. Each unit contributes a score to a battle, and all unit scores are totaled to form a player's total attack value. Here's the formula for a unit's contribution:
((quantity+skill mod+terrain+circumstance bonus)*power*circumstance bonus+1D20)*(quantity/5)
Circumstance bonus occurs twice, once for the addition phase, and again for the multiplication phase. The most frequent circumstance bonus will be a 1.2x multiplier to the defender on their home turf, for instance.
So, let's say Jack (with a skill mod of 4) sends the following to attacks Jill's sky fortress:
An army unit of 5 human warrior subunits
An airforce unit of 5 raptoran wizard subunits
This would output the following attack score:
Human warriors: ((5+4+0+0)*1*1+1D20)*(5/5)=(9+1d20)*1
Raptoran wizards: ((5+4+2+0)*1*1+1D20)*(5/5)=(11+1d20)*1
For a total of 20+2D20
Jill (with a skill mod of 3) has the following at home to defend:
An army unit of 3 elf warriors (who have an upgraded skill mod of 4 due to their advanced weaponry)
A special forces unit of 3 super wizards
Elf warriors: ((3+4+0+0)*1*1.2+1D20)*(3/5)=5.04+1d20*.6
Super wizards: ((3+3+2+0)*1.2*1.2+1D20)*(3/5)=6.912+1d20*.6
For a total of 11.952*2d20. The non-D20 calculations will be handled in Excel, so math slowing things down won't be a worry.
1. Are there any ways to create a metagame advantage with this system? For instance, I tried to make it so there's no incentive to split up your forces into lots of >5 units, so as to add your skill mod and extra d20 rolls additional times. The penalty to units of >5 achieves this, I think, unless I'm missing something.
2. Are there any suggestions you would add for unit statistics, or ways to come up with losses?
3. Could the formula to calculate a unit's attack power be improved in some way?

A Study of the Effect of Thumb Sizes on Mobile Phone Texting Satisfaction
Vimala Balakrishnan and Paul, H.P. Yeow
Journal of Usability Studies, Volume 3, Issue 3, May 2008, pp. 118-128
Article Contents
Results indicated that when thumb circumference increased, user's satisfaction towards key size and space between keys decreased. Moreover, users' texting satisfaction was found to decrease when thumb circumferences increased. Mobile phone manufacturers and designers should look into enlarging the keys and increasing the space between keys. This may result in a larger mobile phone and a change in the keypad layout; however, this will be eventually accepted as users' texting speed increases. We also recommend an increase in the number of keys to reduce the key overloading problem. Extended keypads that consist of more keys could be designed and introduced for a more straight-forward way to enter text messages. For example, Nokia E70 comes with a foldable QWERTY keypad. This keypad requires mobile phone users to use both their hands for text entry. The increased number of keys results in a faster and easier text entry. Other mobile phone manufacturers should design similar keypads to be included in their respective mobile phones. Mobile phone users, especially those with larger thumb sizes, will benefit from such designs.
In addition, results also indicated a negative correlation between thumb length and keypad layout. Comments were made about the difficulty of reaching keys that are placed at the right-most column of the keypad. With this knowledge, researchers and mobile phone designers could rearrange some of the keys or letters for a better accessibility. Letters such as T, H, E and N are commonly used in English text. Therefore, these letters can be placed in the middle of the keypad ("sweet spot") for an easier and faster accessibility. Initially it may be difficult to adapt to keypad layout change as users are familiar with the current layouts; however, texting speed can be greatly increased once users get accustomed to the changes. Moreover, an improvement in the keypad layout will decrease the pain felt in the thumbs due to frequently accessing the hard-to-reach keys. Users will be encouraged to message more as they feel more comfortable in accessing the keys and letters, especially the frequently used ones. This recommendation benefits not only those who have long thumbs, but the overall population of mobile phone users as accessibility to the commonly used keys are easier, which increases texting speed and eventually texting satisfaction.
The aim of the study was met as the findings confirm that varying thumb sizes have significant effects on users' texting satisfaction, based on some of the keypad design factors (e.g., keypad layout, key size, and space between keys). With this knowledge, mobile phone manufacturers and designers can create customized mobile phones that suit users with larger thumb sizes by prioritizing key size, space between keys, and keypad layout.

Before the AFC Wimbledon game last Saturday Boro boss Tommy Widdrington added to his evolving squad when he signed Christopher Shephard .....
..... who joins the club from Exeter City. Widdrington commented that "Chris is a creative midfield player who along with his ability also brings league experience at the Devon club to Priory Lane."
Chris made his début for Exeter City, coming on as a substitute in the 89th minute, at home to Grimsby Town, in the 0–0 League Two draw on 18 October 2008. He was loaned to Salisbury City in the 2009–10 season where Widdrington first worked with Shephard, and he later rejoined Salisbury City on a month-long loan deal in February 2011. Chris has also represented Bath City on loan but he has now made the move to the South Coast for the 2012/2013 season.

Sucker Punch: Reviewed in Limerick
Four hotties and Malone in a fight for their lives,
A quest for freedom, involving lighters and knives?
Inception-style dreaming,
But without any meaning,
The only outcome: fuelling teenage sex-drives.

Review: Sucker Punch
What a steaming pile of shit... was the first description that came to mind after watching Zak Snyder's Sucker Punch.
I was one of the few people who enjoyed Snyder's film adaptation of Watchmen, and was looking forward to his comic-book tones applied to fresh material. Unfortunately, Snyder has written this script with visuals in mind, and the outcome is all style and zero substance. It seems he's put all the emphasis on what is happening on the screen rather than explaining why.
It's like some small child with a serious case of ADD has been given control of the plot, creating elaborate settings full of random weapons and bad guys – "And then she's fighting samurais, and one's got a massive bazooka, and then they're in a war, and one of them starts flying a mech-warrior, and then they fight the creatures from Lord Of The Rings, and then a dragon comes out breathing fire, and then they're on a train and there's heaps of robots, and there's a massive bomb that's about to go off... and then... and then."
In an attempt to win over geeks, Snyder attempts to incorporate the most popular elements from every comic book, manga film, video game and old Japanese movie and cram them into his script – however he hasn't taken the time to recognise what qualities make them popular, and they lose all significance.
Take Scott Glenn's guardian-figure for example, who is actually credited as 'The Wise Man'. His only real purpose is to try and justify each battle to the audience by establishing some weak objective, but Snyder has made him spout these cheesy proverbs to try and fool us into thinking he's some mystical old sensei.
Similarly, I have no idea why Carla Gugino was even in this movie. She wasn't a mother-figure as she didn't teach or guide the girls in any way, her intentions weren't good because she didn't help them in any way, and she wasn't a villain because she didn't betray them in any way – the only thing that is certain is that the movie would have been exactly the same without her.
Apart from featuring again in teenage wet dreams, the leading girls will be forgotten the moment you walk out. And seeing as they weren't cast for their acting ability, I'd say they were only chosen because their careers had nothing to lose. Abbie Cornish overacts the entire thing, trying her hardest to be 'the strong one', and Emily Browning spends most of her time staring glassy-eyed at the camera and moaning.
The dialogue is cliché to the point that it provoked unintentional laughs in places – with lines coming straight out of bad war movies ("please tell my mum I love her") and lame action sequences ("take that you motherfucker").
Memorable warrior packs like the Seven Samurai or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have two main things in common, which the girls from Sucker Punch fail to account for. Firstly, each member should bring a unique skill-set to the group (Sucker Punch: Fail) and secondly, they should fight together with honour – without contemplating giving up (Sucker Punch: Fail), betraying one another (Sucker Punch: Fail) or killing the innocent (Sucker Punch: Fail).
Snyder tries his hardest to transform these girls into traditional comic-book heroes by giving them bad-arse weapons and physical strength, but neglects to make them strong in character – and ultimately, that's what should define a hero.
The only way Snyder could have possibly saved this movie would have been to make it intentionally cheesy; throwing in as many cliché lines and over-exaggerated stunts as possible. Instead, he has tried to make art out of garbage and it just goes to show that you can't polish a turd, no matter how hard you try. All I'm hoping is that he can admit defeat and go back to using original source material before his next project – a Superman reboot, or the nerds are really going to take his balls.
As a quick summary, here are the top five things that I hated about Zak Snyder's Sucker Punch:
1) Killing the dragon: what the fuck did it do to anyone? You just slit her baby's throat; of course she's going to be pissed off.
2) The soundtrack: the Watchmen soundtrack was weird, but at least it was relevant to parallel-1985 setting. This uses butchered covers of The Pixies' Where Is My Mind and Jefferson Airplay's White Rabbit – which I imagine were only used to reflect on the schizophrenic nature of the scenes (i.e. Fight Club and Alice in Wonderland).
3) The final item: Who didn't see that coming? *cough* Lame!
4) Baby Doll's dancing: Is that supposed to be her special power? They couldn't have stolen a knife any other way?
5) John Hamm: What were you thinking? I know you're trying to avoid typecasting but this did you more harm than good.

Donna McKeown is an eight-year resident of Port Jefferson and a cookie maker. In the first year of the Port Jefferson Farmers Market, McKeown was there selling her cookie called "The Junkie," filled with pretzels, potato chips, bittersweet chocolate, coffee and marshmallows. She made this decadent delight from her home-based business, D.K. Cookie Company.
This year, she has moved from vendor to manager of this year's Farmers Market and predicts that it will be bigger and better than ever.
McKeown has two young children, Seamus, 5, who is in Kindergarten at and Annie Grace, 3, is in preschool. She worked as a buyer in New York City for many years but says she is now in sales and marketing at a company in Setauket.
Between dedicating her time to work and her kids, the homemade cookie business as just too demanding but McKeown says she likes to be part of community.
"I dont do this alone," she stressed.
She gets lots of help from two other dedicated locals, Amanda Eckart and Jane Parker, who is her co-manager.
We sat down with McKeown to ask a few questions about the third season of the Port Jefferson Farmers Market that opens on Sunday in the parking lot between of and the .
The market will be open Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until November. Follow the Port Jefferson Farmers Market on Facebook. For more information click here.
What is the job of the Farmers Market manager?
As the market manager, I help organize the set up and break down of the market on Sundays. I work on seeking out new vendors, schedule music, events and activities and act as a go to person for both the vendors and patrons of the market.
This is the third year of the Farmers Market. Seems like a success. How is the success being measured?
We have many repeat vendors, most of which have experience in more established markets and their positive feedback assures us that we are continuing to be just as successful. In addition, we are having more and more vendors seeking us out to be part of the Port Jefferson Market.
Positive feedback from the community is the ultimate measure of success and that is the goal each and every week.
How many people visit the Farmers Market every year approximately?
Each Week we have approximately 400 to 500 people visit our market, this increases each year and even each week.
Is there a dollar amount of money raised from last year's event? If so where does the money go?
The 1st year was our "trial year" and we did not collect fees from the vendors, it was a real tight squeeze to pull it off. Last year we implemented a nominal vendor fee to attend the market. All monies collected goes back to support the market.
We do not profit from this market, its there for the betterment of the community. Any additional funds leftover would go to the Economic Development Council who sponsors the market and in turn back into the community. This year we are looking for sponsors. We are reaching out to local businesses who might like to sponsor the market and in return advertise their business. If your organization or local business is interested in becoming a sponsor please contact Donna McKeown At (917) 865-6249 or Barbara Sakovich at (631) 473-4724 at Village Hall.
What does a space cost for a weekend (if someone was interested in reserving one)?
The fee is $200 for the Season for a 10 by 10 tent. We offer a half season, which is $100 and vendors, must commit to at least five Sundays.
What vendors are returning this year and which ones have been there (if any) from day one?
Returning vendors include Condzella Farm, Stan Pat Farm, Beaverdam Organic Farm, Biophilia Organic Farm, Pickle Packin Papa, Hidden Ridge Farm, Blue Duck Bakery, Coach Farm, Sweet Melissa's Dips, Kerri's Kupkakes, Bambino Ravioli.. Some new vendors include: Polka Dot Pound Cake, Goodale Farms, R&M Andrews & Son, Bobby's Tomatoes, Monty Bread, Delpozzo food, Palantine Valley Dairy.
What can people expect this year? Anything new and exciting?
We have a great line up of Musicians scheduled each Sunday. In addition this year will be having other events such as food demonstrations, science and educational activities for kids, music programs, arts and crafts. We are still seeking out special events to fill the calendar so if anyone is interested in participating they can contact me at (917) 865-6249.
What makes it bigger and better than ever?
For the reasons listed above and the many new vendors, on site managers and Farmers Market Event Tent, more advertising and signage. This all helps in getting the word out.
We look forward to a great season and we thank all of our vendors, old and new who participate and the community for its support and patronage!

Put and Call Options: An Introduction

- What is a Call Option?
- What is a Put Option?
- How to Make Money Trading Call and Put Options
-Find the Best Option Broker
Call option and put option trading is easier and can be more profitable than most people think. If you have never traded puts and calls before, then this website is designed for you. Not only is option trading easy to learn, but put and call option trading should be part of every investor's strategy.
This introduction to puts and calls provides all the definitions, explanations, examples, and real-life trading tips needed to help the beginner trader learn to trade put and call options successfully! If you keep reading you will learn the basic strategies to help maximize your gains and minimize you losses.
Put and call option trading provides an excellent way to lock in profits, maximize gains on short terms stock movements, reduce overall portfolio risk, and provide additional income streams. Best of all, trading calls and puts can be profitable in bull markets, bear markets, and sideways markets. If you are trading stocks but you are not using protective puts, buying calls, or if you have never sold a covered call option, then you are not making as much money as you can and you are missing out on some nice profits. The recent volatility in the stock market has provided unusually profitable opportunities. While stock traders generally dislike volatility, option traders love volatility because it's easier to make profitable trades when the markets are moving up and down every day.
Once the average investor has reached a comfort level trading stocks, then he should begin learning what put and call option trading is and how to trade them. Then, once he understands the basics and how to trade them successfully, then he should implement them in his regular trading and portfolio management strategy and watch his profits increase.
Popular Put and Call Option Tools:
The beginning put and call option trader, however, often finds it difficult to transition from trading stocks to trading options. But trading options is easier than you might think--provided you start with learning the basics. This website is for exactly that: teaching you the basics of option trading.
Any successful trader should be implementing a strategy that includes both stocks and options. Why are puts and calls important? Trading them is important because they allow you to make more money than trading just stocks! There is a time for trading stocks and there is a time for trading puts and calls. But most of the time you should be trading all three: stocks, put options and call options. Keep reading through this website to learn the top 10 things you need to know before your start trading options.
Understanding put and call options is easy if you commit a little time to reading the following pages that describe calls and puts in a very clear and concise manner of definitions, examples, and my personal trading tips. As an experienced stock investor, option trader, and a life-long educator, I created this website to introduce and explain put and call option trading to the average investor.
If you don't have the basic understanding of option trading, however, it can also be very expensive. Because of the short life of options, profits and losses can add up quickly. The typical stock investor that starts trading calls and puts usually does not have a good understanding of the forces at work, they lose money on their first few trades, and then they throw their hands up in the air and say 'It's too confusing--never again.' Keep reading so this doesn't happen to you!
Put and call option trading is like everything else--you must commit a little time to understand the basics. Then once you start understanding it you will make some money at it. And once you start making a little money at it, then you will start enjoying it and look forward to the stock market opening every morning.
I have already helped thousands of people understand what a put and call option is and how to trade them. I have written this Introduction to Call Option and Put Option Trading to help you learn what calls and puts are, and to show you how easy it is to trade them.
If you read sequentially through the links in the Table of Contents on the top right side of this page, in less than 60 minutes you will have a very clear understanding of:

- What is call option?
- What is a put option?
- My Top 10 Option Trading Tips
- Option value and pricing
- How to buy a call option
- Who is the Best Option Broker
- and How to write a covered call option
I made my first call option trade in 1985 and have been trading calls & puts ever since. I have an MBA in Finance, I have read dozens of the best books on put and call option trading, I have subscribed to several of the best options newsletters, I have used many of the best discount option brokers websites, and I have made thousands of puts and calls trades in my lifetime.
Now, with this website, I am going to share with you all of my 27 years of experience trading calls and puts, of looking for the best calls and puts, of knowing when to take profits and when to let them run, and unfortunately for me but good for you, I will also show you some of the biggest option trading mistakes I made.
Getting Started Trading OptionsFirst of all, let's talk about what you need to start trading options:
- You need to read all the way through the Table of Contents on this web site
- You need to practice trading options on the best virtual stock and option trading platform available, one that is used by over 1,000 university Finance professors. Register for Stock-Trak Global Portfolio Simulations.

Last week I made a spread sheet of players in camp, at least those worth noting, with an off-the-top-of-the-head projection of who makes the final 53 and who doesn't. Each day, I crawl AP to see the camp updates, in particular to see who the talk is about. When players draw criticism, I downgrade their chances. Likewise, if they draw praise, I increase their chances. For guys who aren't getting much mention, I rely more on how we acquired them, what we already know of them(if anything), and what they're making. So that's all long form for me just using some common sense to star with and then reading the tea leaves. Below is my week 1 chart, which you will need some instruction on reading. I order players based on what I see as their likelihood of making the team. The colors indicate general categorization, since, for a lot of the guys at the very top and very bottom, you could flip a coin. Green indicates I have them making the final 53. Dark indicates they are a slam dunk for the final roster, where light green indicate I think they're probable, but not assured. Yellow indicates I think they have a shot and knocking off one of the light green guys above them. Again, this is based off of reporting from camp. Comments from coaches are weighed more. There are no formulae as in many of my previous posts; it's just subjective. I'll do this each week of pre season, unless you all hate this and think I'm wrong about everything :\

QB: No surprises here. I think we'd all be pretty shocked if our QB stable doesn't shake out this way.
RB: I think we have room for Draughn and Grey. Either one might be an easy cut though, if they want more bodies in another position group.
TE/FB: Interesting place to be loaded at. It surprised me going though, but I was able to keep 5 guys here in all, without shorting anywhere else. The TE talent is beautiful. If there is an issue at all it could turn out to be cap dollars, since they all make solid money. Personally, If I had to dump a TE, it would be Fasano. Kelce, and in particular Moeaki, are pretty ridiculous athletes for the position. Sherman is a lock for FB I think. Wilson is here because he just fit numbers-wise. He's a FB, but built much more like a TE actually. We could see him as a true H-Back, with Moeaki getting time there as well. KC looks poised to run a lot of heavy sets this year, so there just might be work for 5 guys here(aaaand now I'm hungry).
WR: I don't even know. Bowe is a lock. McCluster is an early favorite of the staff, so he's in. Beyond that though, it's a melee. Hemmingway has peen performing well, so I have him slipping in for now. Wylie is just the type of player Reid likes, and he's adjudicated himself okay in camp. Copper misses out here, but he's far from out of contention. Every coaching staff that's come through here has happened upon his value and retained him. Reid may do the same, or have another ST ace in mind. The real war here is Baldwin vs Avery, but both appear to be losing. I could see both making it, or one or both getting cut. This is a place we might look to pick up someone else's surprise camp cut. Ugh.
OL: Good crop here. Reid has commented a few times how much he likes Stephenson, so he's pretty secure I'd say, and a good bet to take over for Fisher once he takes over for Albert. Allen and Schwarts are competing to start, but good enough to keep, given their talent and versatility. I have Kush in because we drafted him, and there isn't a good alternate at C right now. He's in last place though among all of my starters though. This another place where we might bring in more help in for form of a G/C Type.
DL: I'm pretty confident in this projection. Bailey can play true end and presents value in mixed looks and nickel downs. Dixon is a sturdy veteran reliever.
LB: Top 3 are set, no question. At ILB2(WILL in my nomenclature) we have Jordan vs N. Johnson, which I don't think will result in a clear "winner." They will have their utility from down to down and set to set. Jordan would be the clear backup to DJ should he miss time. On the outside I think it's Catapano vs Zombo and Jones vs Lane. Sutton appears to like having an OLB he can slip inside for 46 looks. They've done this with Catapano and Zombo, so they're battling for that role of rush ILB, while Lane and Jones are purely edge men. Zombo has shown the least rush ability, so I've got him missing the roster.
DB: Another fairly open competition. Flowers and Berry are secure. Smith has, I think, overtaken Robinson for the other starting CB spot. I really like Kendrick Lewis at FS, though AP has been dogging hip for a while. Tackling you can teach, but that ball radar he has in innate. Demps has had a good camp while he's been there, and Abdullah, is a guy with starting ability if you need it. We spent a draft pick on Commings, so I think the staff would like to see what he's got before cutting him. Jalil brown has a serious shot as versatile DB an special teams ace. I don't think he's out of the running at all. As for Robinson, I don't have him as a sure bet. He got expendable when Smith was signed, and doesn't really have a nickel skill set, IMHO. As a luxury, I could see him being a surprise release.
Junior Hemmingway. He's improved his game, and Ive heard only positive on him from camp. When you have a guy showing progress and ability, you should be tempted to keep him over a guy who has shown little other than that he was over-drafted.
Tyler Bray: I wasn't a fan of getting him, but so far, good enough. It sounds as though he's getting in the end zone more than the other QBs. Also, we know Reid likes an investment QB. He's already putting Stanzi away, and if his performance relative to Daniel holds, he might be turned to quickly if Daniel were to struggle in relief for a hypothetically injured Smith.
Tyler Shoemaker: I keep hearing about his hands. I think he's a good PS candidate.
Dexter McCluster: Reid loves him. He's going to be a feature piece of his offense, lined up any way one can imagine. He's also having the best camp performance of any WR.
Tony Moeaki: He was injured at a bad time, because he had Kelce gunning for his job. So far he's caught everything while displaying great athleticism. Mo is making Reids choice very difficult, maybe difficult enough he won't make one at all.
Jon Baldwin: I've been boosting him for the longest, but it appears he's a drop machine and a slow learner. He's not playing at his size either. I'm trying to hold out hope he's a better game time than practice guy. Pre-season is make of break for him.
Donnie Avery: First he was injured. Now he has wrested WR2 duties from Baldwin, but only on relative performance. He has a reputation as a drop artist, which he's only confirmed thus far.
Dunta Robinson: He's apparently been overtaken for the CB job. I thought he had a chance as a Woodson type safety convert, but that doesn't seem to be materializing. A low effort camp isn't helping him either. Ultimately I expect him on the roster, but Reid isn't going to accept mailing it in.
Ricky Stanzi: Remember the middle of last season, when you were the great, unknown hope? I forgot too.
Cyrus Grey: Where U at?

Good morning Rumblers,
Happy Monday!
In the next few weeks or so, we will be drafting the players that will ultimately represent the rebuild process of the New Buffalo Bills. It's an exciting time for Bills fans and fans of the NFL. Unfortunately, there may be one or two picks we will regret making, but that's okay because we all realize that it's part of the process.
Very few times in life do we have the opportunity to right a wrong, or turn back the hands of time to things differently. I myself often reflect on some of the choices that I made and wonder how life would've had turned out for me if I would've done XYZ. Would my life have been better or worse? But like most people, I play the hand that I'm dealt and live life with no regrets.
As you all know, in the 2011 draft we drafted the "Big Elepant" Marcel Dareus with the 3rd overall pick. He's been great for us as a rookie and he led the team with 5.5 sacks, and even though he's been a hit for us; I still can't help thinking about what if Cam and Von was there at 3. Should we have drafted AJ Geen or Patrick Peterson? What about JJ Watt, Aldon Smith, Julio Jones, and Ryan Kerrigan? Would our team would've been better today if we would've drafted anyone of those guys instead of Dareus. Last year, Cam was getting killed on this board and rightfully so. Von was labeled as a pass rushing OLB and that's it. AJ was too weak. Aldon didn't have the body of work and played too high. Kerrigan wasn't athletic enough. Peterson was too big to play CB. The list went on and on. Of course, these guys went on and had great rookie seasons
So Bills fans, I want to give you all an opportunity to "right a wrong" or turn back the hands of time. But I ask you to give this some real thought. Knowing what you know now, and looking at the available talent in the 2012, would you still want Dareus at 3 or would you prefer another guy (assuming everyone was available)?
Now I know us Bills fans are extremely loyal, and picking against a fan favorite in Dareus will be hard to do. But I ask you to remove emotion out of this one and really think like a GM. Put the Bills first; not the name on the back of the Jersey.
So there you have it, assuming all players were available when we picked, who would you draft?

Met's Bench Coach Manny Acta, who was scheduled to be interviewed by the A's for the manager's job, has removed himself from consideration:
Meanwhile, Don Wakamatsu has indicated his desire to remain with the Rangers, even though he was passed over in favor of Ron Washington for the Rangers' managerial position, and even though Art Howe has been hired for the bench coach spot:
so unless someone else is identified it appears that the A's have already interviewed everyone who interests them for the manger's position. The remaining possibilities are:
update: Ken Rosenthal reports that Manny Acta will be named to be the Washington Nationals' new manager. So that's probably why he withdrew from the A's search. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/6158520

A story today in the Washington Post, Environmental groups at odds over new tack in climate fight, highlights the framing battle different environmental groups are engaging as well as some assumptions about what environmental literacy and communication alone can do.
An introductory excerpt:
At the heart of this intra-green disagreement is a behemoth of an unanswered question. Even after years of apocalyptic warnings about climate change, how much will Americans really sacrifice to fight it?
An excerpt about framing:
On Tuesday night, climate activist Nancy Jackson was speaking to one of the most climate-skeptical audiences in the country: Kansans. She was speaking to college students here in Manhattan — a town where one religious leader was able to draw congregants to screenings of "An Inconvenient Truth" only by passing out Nerf balls, so they could hurl them at the image of Al Gore.
"Take climate change off the table, okay?" Jackson said, after reciting evidence that the climate really is changing. "You don't have to buy it for everything I'm about to say, because everything we do [to combat climate change] is a good idea for at least three other reasons."
She told the students that Kansas has an abundance of wind, sun and crops like corn and prairie grasses — all potential sources of renewable power. The message worked, at least on 21 year-old student Matthew Brandt. He said he doesn't believe in climate change, but — after hearing Jackson's talk — he was interested in windmills.
"I plan to have a wind turbine on my property" after graduation, Brandt said. "I figure it's a good investment."
And an alternate view:
"It's a lack of faith in the American public," said Kieran Suckling of the Center for Biological Diversity, an Arizona nonprofit organization, talking about the light-on-climate ads used by bigger groups. "If the scientists, the environmentalists in our country do their jobs, and explain the test of climate change, the public will come along."
"Instead of doing that job," Suckling said, "we're running away from it."

- Details
- Last Updated on 25 September 2013
This article shows you how easy it is to capture sound coming into your computer's microphone (or line in) and record the captured sound in to a WAV file, with help of Java Sound API. A small example program is provided to illustrate how to record sound for a specified duration. Let's look at the Java Sound API first.
The package javax.sound.sampled.* is a part of Java Sound API which contains interfaces and classes that are dedicated for processing sampled audio by Java programming language.
Here are the typical steps to capture and record sound into a WAV file:
- Define an audio format of the sound source to be captured, using the class AudioFormat.
- Create a DataLine.Info object to hold information of a data line.
- Obtain a TargetDataLine object which represents an input data line from which audio data can be captured, using the method getLineInfo(DataLine.Info) of the AudioSystem class.
- Open and start the target data line to begin capturing audio data.
- Create an AudioInputStream object to read data from the target data line.
- Record the captured sound into a WAV file using the following method of the class AudioSystem:
write(AudioInputStream, AudioFileFormat.Type, File)
Note that this method blocks the current thread until the target data line is closed.
- Stop and close the target data line to end capturing and recording.
Here is the source code of a sample program which follows the steps above:
import javax.sound.sampled.*; import java.io.*; /** * A sample program is to demonstrate how to record sound in Java * author: www.codejava.net */ public class JavaSoundRecorder { // record duration, in milliseconds static final long RECORD_TIME = 60000; // 1 minute // path of the wav file File wavFile = new File("E:/Test/RecordAudio.wav"); // format of audio file AudioFileFormat.Type fileType = AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE; // the line from which audio data is captured TargetDataLine line; /** * Defines an audio format */ AudioFormat getAudioFormat() { float sampleRate = 16000; int sampleSizeInBits = 8; int channels = 2; boolean signed = true; boolean bigEndian = true; AudioFormat format = new AudioFormat(sampleRate, sampleSizeInBits, channels, signed, bigEndian); return format; } /** * Captures the sound and record into a WAV file */ void start() { try { AudioFormat format = getAudioFormat(); DataLine.Info info = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class, format); // checks if system supports the data line if (!AudioSystem.isLineSupported(info)) { System.out.println("Line not supported"); System.exit(0); } line = (TargetDataLine) AudioSystem.getLine(info); line.open(format); line.start(); // start capturing System.out.println("Start capturing..."); AudioInputStream ais = new AudioInputStream(line); System.out.println("Start recording..."); // start recording AudioSystem.write(ais, fileType, wavFile); } catch (LineUnavailableException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); } } /** * Closes the target data line to finish capturing and recording */ void finish() { line.stop(); line.close(); System.out.println("Finished"); } /** * Entry to run the program */ public static void main(String[] args) { final JavaSoundRecorder recorder = new JavaSoundRecorder(); // creates a new thread that waits for a specified // of time before stopping Thread stopper = new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { try { Thread.sleep(RECORD_TIME); } catch (InterruptedException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } recorder.finish(); } }); stopper.start(); // start recording recorder.start(); } }
This console-based program will record sound from the microphone for 60 seconds then saves the recorded sound in to a file in .wav format under E:/Test/RecordAudio.wav (so make sure you created the parent directory first). You may want to save as .mp3 format, but unfortunately the Java Sound API only supports the .wav format.
You can change the record duration by modifying value of the constant RECORD_TIME at the beginning of the class.
Notice that there are two threads spawn in this program:
- First thread (main thread): captures and records sound.
- Second thread (the stopper thread): waits for a specified duration before closing the target data line. And because the main method is blocked by method call AudioSystem.write(), closing the target data line will continues the main method which exits the program.
Compile the program:
javac JavaSoundRecorder.java
Run it:
java JavaSoundRecorder
Start capturing...
Start recording...
And check if the file RecordAudio.wav created under E:/Test directory and play it back.
The above example program is fixed for quick demo purpose. For a reusable sound recording component, see the article: A utility for recording sound in Java.
