Theme theaters are nothing new—we've seen our share of sci-fi homages, western themes, movie star themes and more. With the help of some local artistry and custom fabrication, this theater room gives a nod to the don.
Yes, the godfather Don Corleone keeps a steady eye on the gatherings in this home theater, which was designed and installed by Michigan-based Spire Integrated Systems.
Spire managed to incorporate the homeowner's favorite film by using a local artist's ability to digitize the image and imprint it on an acoustical panel. That's right—not only does Brando hold court in here, but he helps optimize the surround-sound system.
Consider the acoustical panel a solid supporting actor in the Oscar-worthy A/V performance of this theater. The screen is a CinemaScope aspect ratio Dragonfly model from Snap AV, with high-def images beamed from a SIM2 Domino D60 DLP projector.
The audio can be heard loud and clear but the gear is all hidden. Spire outfitted the room with architectural speakers from Monitor Audio, and also concealed a powerful Velodyne subwoofer under the theater screen.
Other winning solutions in here include automation and controls from Control4, including a sleek touchpanel to work everything, and automated lighting and shade solutions from Lutron. Some fine leather seating completes the viewing experience.

Rott: Symphony in E major
CDH55140 Helios (Hyperion's budget label) — Archive Service
Movement 1: Alla breve
Movement 2: Sehr langsam
Movement 3: Scherzo: Frisch und lebhaft
Movement 4: Sehr langsam Belebt
Mahler offered a perceptive critical evaluation of the work: 'It is true that [Rott] has not yet fully realized his aims here. It is like someone taking a run for the longest possible throw and not quite hitting the mark. But I know what he was driving at.' Despite the half-assimilated influences and the traces of inexperience, it is indeed possible to grasp what Rott sought. The fertility of his musical imagination, his concern to control music in an innovative way on a large scale, and the emotional power and sincerity are unmistakable and surely compensate for any momentary uncertainties. In the face of such an achievement one can only wonder what more Rott might have accomplished had his career not been so tragically short.

Le Sentier du Fjord
A day trip to Whiteface Mountain (Vermont)
Yesterday I went hiking at Whiteface Mountain (Vermont) with my friend Yann. It is about 2hrs drive from Montreal, and we left pretty early. Got surprised that the Champlain bridge was closed, had to do many detours; and it was raining a bit when we got there but thankfully as we got closer rain became snow! Here are some pics.
Mexico – Animated Life & Panoramas
Mexico Airport isn't pretty
Mexico airport isn't exactly pretty, I mean I think they tried. It is situated on a hill, with incredible views on each side, but you can't see much of it unfortunately. It has an open air concept which is quite appealing, I like the 'idea' behind it, but the execution is probably similar to most modern architecture projets… it looks great on computer screens but in real life.. meh.
That being said, there are quite insteresting things you can do with a camera and the lights there; which are in fact tiny windows to the outside.
Pie De La Cuesta – The Beach is Gone
Pie De La Cuesta is a beach area, just outside of the Acapulco city, to the northwest. I came here in 2000 with three friends, we had driven from Montreal, Canada (not exactly in a straight line mind you). I remember the peace and quiet, and the huge beach, and the even bigger waves that would crash right on the beach itself.
Today there isn't much of a beach left.
As you can see. I was here during the development of Tropical Storm Polo; and what's left of the beach eroded by more than 3 feet overnight. The irony is that the mayor of Acapulco just invested large sums to redo the street at Pie de la Cuesta, concrete, nice sidewalks; but what he should be doing is investing in beach erosion stoppers cause nobody will come here anymore. That and the fact that there is way more plastic on the beach than sea life; and the sheer size of the waves. All they will have left is sunsets!
Flurry API in Mono for Android
Hi Everyone,
We have been using Mono for Android at Taste Filter since may. I love coding in C#, it is much faster than coding in Java with all the shortcuts (events, delegates, actions, etc). Mono for Android is generally very good too.
One thing that is lacking, is the amount of Bindings available for it. We need fairly specific analytics at Taste Filter, since we are introducing new ways to interact with content, new touch enabled controls. We want to know what is going on; how people are interacting with it. Have using Google Analytics isn't stellar; we want a better tool. More reporting, more information passed to the system gathering the stats.
I tried using the automated process for creating a binding from a JAR, but it didn't yield good results; lots and lots of errors which I did not understand; didn't seem to be documented.
The Notman House Project
First this is purely and entirely my own opinion.
If you go over to the project's website, you get this little summary:
"Built in 1845, Notman House is a historic landmark property located at the intersection of Montreal's downtown core and creative Plateau neighborhood. It has, thanks to the community's role, become a beacon to entrepreneurship, open collaboration and peer-to-peer learning. Currently, Notman House offers short-term office space for early stage technology Startups, office space for venture investors and entrepreneurial support organizations, a co-working space for freelancers, and an event space for Startup and tech community events."
And before that, you get a clear overview of who put money into the project. Those are private firms, investment bodies, and different levels of government. This project is, clearly, backed by all powers that be.
Why isn't it picking up steam?
I bet some people are scratching their heads right now trying to understand why it hasn't picked up more steam. I mean they did everything they had to do right?
- They created a nice video,
- They were very transparent about the state of things
- They managed to get a bunch of money from well established investors / public bodies
- They got plenty of press coverage (la presse, le devoir, to name just 2), everyone in montreal knows about the project I am sure
- And following well known statistics, you got a big push on the first day because it is known that projects which reach a certain threshold on the first day have a much better success rate.
Technically all the elements are there. But they overlooked something very fundamental in the process. It is so fundamental that even the name of the platform they chose contains the exact reason why it isn't picking up steam. And what is that?
Snippet – Converting yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.mssZ to Date()
So, in dealing with the Google Data API most dates use the format above. Here is a regular expression to decompose it:
var date:String = "2010-12-12T09:54:35.002Z";
var exp:RegExp = /(\d\d\d\d)([- \/.])(0[1-9]|1[012])\2(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])T([0-2][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]):([0-5][0-9]).([0-9]{3})Z/i;
var res:Object = exp.exec(date);
// year res[1]
// month res[3]
// day res[4]
// hour res[5]
// minute res[6]
// seconds res[7]
// milliseconds res[8]
Now remember that the constructor for the
Date object is quite a pain. It considers Januaray to be month 0, and the first day of the month to be the zero'th day of the month.. With this in mind, you can construct the
Date object.
var time:Date = new Date(res[1], res[3] - 1, res[4] - 1, res[5], res[6], res[7], res[8]);
Now, switch to the time-zone of the user..
time.minutes -= time.getTimezoneOffset();
That's it folks!
Sample Code – Using the YouTube AS3 API with the YouTube Player API
Hi Everyone,
I have been absent for a while.. taking advantage of life. I also have switched to Android lately, doing some prototyping work with 80/20 Studio in NYC.
Someone from Belgium contacted me today about the YouTube AS3 API, so I decided to look into it once again. While browsing the Youtube API site I found that they have finally published a AS3 Player that can be used!! So here is some sample code on how to do it.
Tutorial – Creating a reusable Slider Control / Component
Hi Everyone,
Today I will cover the subject of creating a reusable slider control which takes two bitmaps as resources. The thumb bitmap will slide on the rail bitmap. It is a very simple concept!
We will basically take this image:
and this one:
and make this (try it, move that knob):
In fact, the code you are about to write will take ANY two images and create a slider with them. Just like magic, as long as your images make some sense ( a track and a button ), it should be golden!
Starting Point
When I started writing this tutorial, I was still using the Flash IDE; but since then I am free!! I now use exclusively FlashDevelop. With that in mind, the package to start the coding, if you want to follow along is here. You will need FlashDevelop & the Flex SDK 3.4 or newer.

PoolSupplyWorld N2KIT-LTS03 Leisure Spa Kit
Short Description
Easy Spa Start Up Kit: Nature 2 Cense I/D QTY 2, Spa 2 Sticks QTY 2, Test Strips, with Leisure Time Spa 56 Chlorinating Granules 2 lbs
Alternative Sanitizer Features:
Nature 2 Spa uses patented mineral-bed technology to destroy bacteria. Its revolutionary process significantly improves the look, feel and smell of your Spa water, by dramatically reducing chlorine and bromine requirements. If used with MPS, the most recommended Spa oxidant, Nature 2 Spa becomes a complete Spa sanitizing system - the only non-chlorine Spa sanitizing option available. Managing your Spa is easier than ever. Nature 2 Spa slips into your Spa filter and lasts up to four months. Recommended by leading Spa manufacturers, the patented mineral-bed technology of Nature 2 Spa mineral sanitizer has been extensively tested and is proven to sanitize your Spa more effectively than chlorine at Spa temperatures. Compared with chlorine and bromine sanitizing systems, Nature 2 technology reduces the discomfort of eye and skin irritation, bleached out swimsuits and discourages scum lines in your Spa without the unpleasant odors associated with harsh chemicals. The completely self-contained Nature 2 Spa mineral sanitizer is easy to install. There are no moving parts. Nature 2 Spa just slips into your Spa's filter, where it works as part of your Spa's existing water circulation system to keep your water clean and bacteria free. If your Spa is equipped with an ozonator, a Nature 2 Spa mineral sanitizer will greatly enhance its performance. Nature 2 Spa mineral sanitizer is EPA registered and can be used effectively for 4 months. Best of all, it eliminates the messy and tedious chore of constantly adding chlorine or bromine to the Spa. After start-up, a small maintenance dose of non-chlorine based oxidizer is all you need. Unlike chlorine and bromine, the Nature 2 Spa mineral sanitizer is unaffected by Spa temperatures. Say goodbye to the abrasive smell of chlorine and take your Spa experience to new heights with Cense. With its oxygen-infused aromas, Cense turns your Spa into a fragrant paradise for the senses. The perfect companion for Nature 2 Spa, Cense is the only non-chlorine oxidant that offers the stress-relieving benefits of aromatherapy with a crystal clear Spa experience. Combining fragrance with MPS, the most recommended oxidizer for Spas on the market, Cense creates an inviting and relaxing environment in and around your Spa by eliminating the chemical smell of chlorine and replacing it with four exquisite scents as it leaves your Spa water cleaner, clearer, and fragrant. Keep your Spas water at its optimum levels easily. Test the monopersulfate, alkalinity and pH levels just by swirling the Nature 2 Test Strip. This is used in very small amounts just to kill all initial bacteria. This will last you a very long time. One teaspoon to get you started and you will most likely need very little from there on out as long as you are using the MPS, or the Nature 2 Cense. This chlorine is only used to get your Spa free of initial bacteria. Specifically formulated for Spas, this concentrated granular chlorine effectively sanitizes and disinfects hot water.

FORT WASHINGTON, Md. (AP) - Prince George's County police say a homeowner was shot by invaders in Fort Washington.
Police say multiple people entered the home around 2 a.m. Tuesday and demanded money and jewelry. A man who lives in the home confronted them, and he was shot in the back.
The man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The robbers fled the scene. No arrests have been made.

text: The long-anticipated second album from Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings is a stunner – undoubtedly stronger than the group's fantastic debut – and a record that not only transcends the late model funk revival genre, but stands on footing as solid as the best hard funky soul of the late 60s and early 70s! If you're expecting a rehash of the heavy funk jams that burned on the Dap Dippin' album you won't be disappointed, but get ready for a deep, natural (hence the title) soulfulness that not only caught us off guard, but really forms the big, hard-beating heart of the album. The frothing, frenetic funk is as tight as ever, and in spots just as furious, but the attention to songcraft this time out is just as searing and indelible. The eight piece Dap Kings continue to be the best band in the land – with El Michels on baritone sax, Neal Sugarman on tenor, Homer Steinweiss on drums, not-so-secret weapon Bosco Mann on bass, vibes and piano. Guest appearances include fellow Daptone powerhouse vocalist Lee Fields on the the duet "Stranded In Your Love", and strings courtesy of the Bushwick Philharmonic, but make no mistake, this is the band's album. Amazing stuff from in indispensable group – an album that'll keep spinning in our circles for as many years as the great albums by the gritty soul forefathers do! Tracks include "How Do I Let A Good Man Down?", "Natural Born Lover", "My Man Is A Mean Man", a soulful reading of Woodie Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land", "Your Thing Is A Drag", "Fish In A Dish" and "All Over Again". © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

For the Kisii people of Eastern Africa, mining and carving soapstone is an ancient and tribal affair. Found exclusively in the Tabaka Hills of Western Kenya, Kisii soapstone is mined from the quarries by hand. The raw soapstone is carried back to village shops, broken into smaller pieces and carved using a small knife called a kisu.
Skilled Kisii artisans quickly and efficiently handcraft the soft, malleable soapstone into beautiful figurative art and home decor including bowls, plates, candleholders, jewelry boxes and more. Our impressive selection of exclusive, high quality Kisii soapstone pieces are guaranteed to add exotic good looks to your home.

Brahms: The Complete Chamber Music

Brahms: The Three Violin Sonatas
Helios (Hyperion's budget label)CDH55087
Movement 1: Allegro amabile
Track 4 on CDS44331/42 CD11 [8'16] 12CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
Movement 2: Andante tranquillo Vivace Andante Vivace di più Andante Vivace

Movement 3: Allegretto grazioso, quasi Andante
Track 6 on CDS44331/42 CD11 [5'02] 12CDs Boxed set (at a special price)
This directness of lyric expression is just as prevalent in the finale where, as in the first sonata, Brahms manages to create a theme with remarkably similar properties, yet quite distinct character, offering opportunities for an entirely fresh response. Here it initiates a rondo, though one in which the returns are so varied as to create a sense of continuity rather than contrast. Again it is but a brief closing figure which prompts the second theme, now supported by an atmospheric writing for the piano which represents a new feature of Brahms's handling of the medium.
The middle movement combines two types of movement into one, thus greatly extending the expressive range of the entire work: a gentle and rather gracious 'Andante tranquillo' alternates with a dancing 'Vivace'. But the directness of statement is offset by the way in which the ideas recur: for the Andante returns in D major, rather than the expected tonic F, and the Vivace is in a rhythmic variation, with the violin now providing a pizzicato counterpoint. With the third and final return of the Andante, Brahms seems reluctant to make the inevitable move from D back to F: indeed, he only clinches it with the final touch of the Vivace, whose return as a coda is a ripe piece of Brahmsian humour.

Hi, This is my first DLSR i like to purchase. I had set myself on getting the D3100 at Christmas time and have waited til now as learnt alot from my photography course.
The weather should pick up so be nice to get my purchase in next month.
I was set on D3100 like said just seen price of D5100 and only £90 difference. Was wondering wether pay extra or stick with D3100 and use the £90 towards a 2nd lens
I still need to look into a tripod and bag so a package would be useful or any tips in them would help.
I must go check the D5100 out in shops. Appreciate people taking time to read this.

The 2012 Beetle
More curve on the curves
Completely redesigned.
It's okay to stare. Its very design is magnetic, iconic, and utterly unique. That gorgeous arcing profile and famous front end are recognizable around the world, and there are dozens of nicknames to prove it. To say that it's a Volkswagen is actually an understatement.
2.0L TSI® engine
The available 2.0L TSI engine was designed with the highest torque per cylinder in its class. Which means it's tuned to have a broad, flat torque curve with a nice, wide power band. If you're not sure what that means, step on the gas when the light turns green.1 That'll tell you all you need to know.
DSG® performance transmission
The available DSG® is one of the fastest-shifting transmissions available. It helps provide seamless acceleration and gives you increased fuel efficiency.
2.5L in-line 5-cylinder engine
The Beetle comes with a gutsy 2.5L, 170-hp, in-line 5-cylinder engine with 177 lbs/ft of torque. That means quick acceleration and passing power, and when the light turns green, some serious get up and go.1
Sport suspension
The Turbo model has an available track-tuned sport suspension, giving it a more aggressive stance to help it handle better and corner tighter.
Electromechanical Power Steering
The available Electromechanical Steering system is a more responsive, fuel-efficient, and eco-conscious method than conventional steering. It's win, win, win.
Welcome to Ourisman Volkswagen of Bethesda
There is a lot of excitement about the 2012 Beetle. It's already become big news around Washington. Fill out the form above to find out what kind of great deals we have available right now on the 2012 Beetle.
If you can't wait, view the great prices we have on models available now in our inventory. As usual, feel free to contact us if you have a question or need assistance.

While all true, this is a "preaching to the converted". People already know this, or they don't and are not going to listen, the inbetween ground is virtually non-existant (or at least, that is what I have noticed). So you will get the DPS continuing Wrath mindset and chain pulling against the tank's wishes, with the healer OOM, and then when the party wipes, they blame either the tank or healer and vote-kick appropriately. And eventually, they get to a really great tank or healer than enables their moronic ways.
As a tank or a healer, sometimes there isn't much you can do other than quit the party. If you stick it out, aside from the verbal abuse from whatever retard is causing you the grief, you also have to deal with potential losses of the 5 man, as a tank or healer will eventually just let DPS die, but sometimes it won't be the trouble maker (Ex. Hunter Pulls aggro, Feigns death, next DPS gets eaten). Which leads to more stress as the tank and/or healer attempt to compensate, sometimes with little success as the encounter is designed around 5 live party members.If you quit in frustration, you get upset at the game and maybe leave it altogether. It's a hard adjustment for many, unfortunately, and not designed to go well with the random dungeon system they put in place.

Post subject: Hardware Compatibility
:) I'm very impressed with your work. I tried older versions of redhat and never got the hardware to work. Although I wish I had time to figure it out, I needed to get up and running.
This works with my new Nvidia card and my cell phone as a modem (thanks Nate), but I just don't know what to do with my Pinnacle AV/DV card.
I can't find any info on the net about configuration. If it's a lost cause for now, I can live with that answer. I know it will only be a matter of time.
If anyone can offer any advice, I would appreciate it.

I don't know about this particular piece of gear, but I recommend doing this to find out about it. As root run:

Then find the line about your Pinnacle. Key that into google along with the word "linux" and see what pops up. :)

Wow! I found some great info on reverse engineering a Windows driver. I'll play with that one when I have time. :wink: Pinnacle's forum has some really abused Linux users. I'm sure I'll have no problem selling the card. Thanks for the advice anyway.

The Cowboys fired Ryan because, well, they are not the Steelers and it is also why they have not won a thing since Aikman. The team (or unit) has a bad season in one aspect of the game and they want to throw a coach overboard. The Steelers win because ownership knows there will be down years and you have to patiently wade through them.
The Cowboys are a joke. Their line of thinking is the same as those fools saying we should fire Lebeau for Raheem Morris who has done squat as a DC or HC.
"If I could start my life all over again, I would be a professional football player, and you damn well better believe I would be a Pittsburgh Steeler." -Jack Lambert
LeBeau will never be fired. If giving up 90 yards to Joe Flacco and then 316 yards to Tim Tebow didn't do it nothing will.
Art won't want the bad PR. He knows the defense gets a free pass.
@EdBouchette: #Steelers get permission from Redskins to talk to their ST coach Danny Smith a Pgh native
I'm a Pittsburgh native too. Sign me up Coach!
Smith has been the Redskins' special teams coach since 2004. Although he is universally liked and respected by the players, Smith's special teams have been up and down. For the 2012 season, Dallas Morning News columnist Rick Gosselin, who calculates a comprehensive special teams rating by comparing team performances in 22 categories, had the Redskins ranked 31st in overall special teams performance.

- This Book overlooks blues a great American Music. Review by Blues Man
The coverage of Blues is very shallow.

- Big improvement over last edition! Review by VinylLover
There were a lot of really prominent records and artists missing from past editions of The Standard Catalog of American Records (remember The Byrds). This edition fixes a lot of those problems. It also looks like there was more attention to prices than in the last few books. The introduction is a lot better than past ones to. There are lots of articles and advice that's really helpful for people who are new collectors or maybe don't collect records but got a collection they want to sell. Goldmine finally acknowledged that there are other grading guides out there besides its own and set up a chart to compare some of the biggies, which is great because a lot of us buy and sell records online and not everybody uses the Goldmine grades. Hopefully this is a sign of better guides to come and more new listings.

- not enough listings Review by willie bee
The book seems to over reach with the years of 1950 to 1990. Several artists didn't make the book, for an example, Tom Jans & Russell Smith. I realize they're not big sellers of their time but they each had several great albums that are very collectable. I'm glad country and jazz have been added but it seems to have made space limited for other titles. I noticed that several Dylan promo 12" titles didn't make the list such as "Band of the Hand" with Tom Petty. I think if the time period had gone to 1980 and then follow up with a price guide that goes from 1981 to present it would make room for the titles that didn't make it. As I go through my collection I find more and more titles that were left out I'm not completely disappointed, but not happy either... that's why it got 3 stars instead of less. If you release a searchable disk maybe the missing titles can be added. If you don't have a collection the price guide is fine.

A banking whodunit with a twist
Book Review: Kidnap plot makes can't-put-it-down story
- |
- Written by Steve Cocheo
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
The bubble of security many of us rely on for sanity can be pricked in an instant. After that, we see what we're really made of.
Jessica Palmer, the privileged daughter of a Tennessee community banker, has it all. She's been at Vanderbilt University from her undergraduate days through law school, and, on the cusp of graduating, she's looking forward to a good legal job and, in time, a senior position at the family institution, First Palmer Bank. Eventually, she'll run the place.
She enjoys parents whose devotion seems to know no limit. A secret boyfriend to whom she means the world. Money, comfort, safety, and love have never been a problem. Life is very, very good.
But it won't stay that way. Soon she'll be at the mercy of criminals "Brutus" and "Brainiac" and the person pulling their strings...
Only a few pages into The Banker's Greed, Jessica's world shatters. The cracks begin out of nowhere when she is attacked, knocked out with ether, and bound, gagged, and hooded. She becomes a kidnap victim, with a $5 million nonnegotiable price demanded for her safe return. Before the immediate ordeal runs its course, she will fear for her life, with good reason and a bloody example of possibilities oozing its life away nearby.
And before the story ends, she will become the state's key witness against the prime suspect of being the kidnapping's mastermind--her father, bank chairman and CEO Vincent Palmer.
FBI agents who believe they've solved her case will call her sanity into question, even wonder if she has developed "Stockholm Syndrome," where victims come to identify with their abductors. This comes after her call, before the packed courtroom, as sentencing is passed, that her father is innocent. She has had an eleventh-hour epiphany, but no one wants to believe her new story, even more unbelievable than the combination of facts and coincidences that send Vincent Palmer to prison.
Three of the closest people in her life will appear to have irrevocably betrayed her when she needed them most. An ugliness that she never suspected surfaces very close to home.
In the end, the only individuals she'll be sure she can count on are Abby, her Golden Retriever, and Heddy, the family housekeeper.
But having had her security torn away, she will find determination and strength as she sets out on the nearly impossible challenge of proving her father innocent.
The Banker's Greed--you won't know the significance of the title until the very last line of the book, and don't peek--resulted from the teaming up of two unlikely parties: a veteran mystery and suspense writer, P.M. Terrell, and T. Randy Stevens, chairman and CEO at First Farmers and Merchants Bank, a $1 billion-assets institution in central Tennessee. (Stevens' debut as a co-author is the subject of the August "First Person" profile in Banking Exchange. The profile describes the origin of the story and how it developed into the commercially published book.)
When the reader first meets Vincent Palmer, who Stevens says was wholly fiction, he embodies the phrase "full of himself," and exudes the expectation of privilege and power that rubs you the wrong way immediately. On his way to the abduction scene at illegal speeds, he ignores a state trooper with the declaration that he has no time for his nonsense--indeed, he demands a trooper escort to the scene. Any time someone crosses him or doesn't follow his wishes, he threatens with any of number of political leaders on his cell phone's speed dial.
Clearly, he seems just ruthless enough to attempt a crime, and his inclination to take charge and not cooperate with the FBI and other enforcement agencies makes his actions suspicious from the get-go. The reader soon concludes that his apparent devotion to his daughter likely is only a heck of an act, and yet...
By the time that undeniable signs indicate that Palmer is working with the kidnappers, the reader has been shown a parade of clues that make it all too believable.
And an FBI agent working the case puts the attitude that develops into a handful of words: "I just have this thing about men who think rules don't apply to them. Who think they're above the law."
Throughout the buildup to Palmer's conviction, details sprinkled here and there add realism to the story's banking elements and to its law enforcement elements. Little touches like a bank souvenir mug; etiquette and protocol inside a bank headquarters; even a door in a certain location in a bank, and why it's there, will ring true to anyone who works for a community bank. There's even a bank gift program involving disposable cell phones that plays a critical part in a plot twist, as does a late glimpse into the workaday world of signature card files and safe deposit vault security measures.
All these touches add enjoyment and a touch of reality to a gripping suspense story.
Proving Palmer innocent
P.M. Terrell built on Stevens' original story, but The Banker's Greed is much more than a skilled rewrite. As the "First Person" profile explains, the project was very much a cooperative venture.
The result is a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat during the kidnapping and investigative sequences. Short chapters, many ending on cliffhangers, keep pulling the reader along. A blend of mental and physical suspense builds to a conclusion that shifts at the final moment of this section, from the apparently justly deserved conviction of a man of seemingly questionable morals to complete upheaval when Jessica Palmer shouts in the courtroom:
"No! He's innocent! My Daddy is innocent!"
For Jessica, days of sleuthing on her own follow, all while the new life she had made for herself, to replace her shattered life, begins to unravel.
"You need help, Jessie, but not the kind of help I can provide," says Grant Bailey, the troubled FBI agent who put her father away. "You need a good psychiatrist. Somebody to help you get your life back together. Someone who can help you get inside your own head."
She graduates from glasses of wine to bottles. She is soon left nearly on her own, doubted and despondent, and finds the whole truth only after an evening of danger, deception, and murder.
The book sends out its share of red herrings, while giving a fair number of clues for those mystery readers who like to try to solve the crime before the detective does. But rather than beginning on the quintessential "dark and stormy night," it ends on one.
Amid the lightning, thunder, water, and mud--and blood-- Jessica Palmer finds the truth, if she can live with it, and through it.
In the authors' words
Prime suspect Vincent Palmer, bank CEO: "Of course I have enemies. All bankers have them," Vincent stated flatly. … "When we don't make a loan, a customer may go broke. Or maybe we've given them a loan and they've defaulted. They lose their business; sometimes they lose their spouse and family; sometimes their house and their car. … the list goes on. Sometimes they blame themselves and sometimes they blame the bank. It's a whole lot easier to blame the bank.
"FBI agent Grant Bailey to U.S. Attorney Jim Rye: "The morning after his daughter was abducted--hours after he paid the ransom, he accessed the bank deposit box. … And this is what we found in it. … Two point five million dollars. Cash." —by P.M. Terrell and T. Randy Stevens

Discuss this workshop
The towering, giant redwoods of Northern California are the stuff legends are made of. Trees so wide at the base, it takes 20 grown men, linked hand-to-hand, to circle the circumference. Tree tops lost in the clouds as single redwood trees that rise to heights greater then a 40-story building. Foot trails cut through the dense understory of vibrant green ferns as sunlight streams through the fog-shrouded trees, fingers of light illuminating the branches and trunks of these old-growth behemoths. With thousands of redwood trees clustered in hundreds of groves tucked away in Northern California, this workshop brings you to the perfect and ideal redwood groves, at times and locations predetermined to be the best photographic opportunity.
This workshop focuses not only on the 'where' to take the pictures, but also on the 'how' to take pictures, incorporating photographic education throughout the workshop at each location. By building on the previous location's techniques and lessons, this allows for culmination in a comprehensive lesson in pre-visualization, composition, modified exposure and light controls.
This truly is a collaboration of extensive, comprehensive landscape photography education coupled with a dynamic location.
Day 1 - Following our 8:30am breakfast orientation meeting, we depart south from our workshop base into the Avenue of the Giants and an old-growth redwood grove tucked against the banks of two rivers for our first lesson in layering, composition and exposure controls. We follow the first location up with two subsequent locations that are considered by past participants as some of the most photographic redwood groves in the workshop, with winding paths and a dense, lush and vibrant green understory. As the sun begins to drop low, we head to an isolated grove for our beaming sunset images, and one of the principle locations used for the filming of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
Day 2 - Following an early breakfast, we head to a true mountain-top redwood grove, to capture the early-morning light as it streams into the grove. This location is quickly followed by a short, easy hike into a former logging camp with several old-growth trees mixed in with second-growth and a dense fern understory, followed with another easy hike to a hidden waterfall along a path through several redwood groves in a setting that has been regarded as "movie-like". The entire afternoon is devoted to a pre-determined network of trails in one of the most treasured redwood groves in California, as we follow creek-side trails and cross low ridges to pass from one section of the grove to the next. The grand finale for the day is sunset inside a low valley of redwoods and ferns, in a location that is as isolated as beautiful.
Day 3 - Following an early breakfast, we depart for a unique location that is nearly always trapped in fog, but allows for sunlight to stream in through the trees in a dramatic flair and fashion, iconic of these towering and giant redwoods. After a brief coastal stop for a scenic rugged coastline photo, we head back inland to two towering groves along with mixed conifers and a variety of understory, the final grove being the classic 'sunset in the redwoods' location.
Day 4 - The final day provides a visual treat and diversion from the giant redwoods, as we head to the coast for a morning of photography along the driftwood-covered beaches before venturing inland for the workshop grand finale in a narrow and towering fern-walled canyon, as seen in numerous films, including Jurassic Park II. Following our canyon experience, we head back to our base for our workshop conclusion/farewell lunch, allowing return to Eureka Airport for late afternoon/early evening departures.
The above itinerary is the standard itinerary, however is very fluid and can change daily — even hourly — as changing weather conditions can lead to adjustments in the schedule.
VENUE INFORMATION: Our base of operations will be Eureka/Arcata. A list of recommended hotels located adjacent to each other will be provided upon workshop registration.

Territorial fights emerge in the interregional transmission plans proposed for compliance with FERC Order 1000.
Taking Green Private
How merchant funding is remaking the rules for renewables.
sourcing agreements.
Driven into a corner by the demands of merchant financing, Tenaska in effect has signed a deal with the devil. On one hand, Tenaska gets an assured market for clean-coal power in the form of mandated purchased power contracts. But on the other hand it now becomes beholden to the state lawmakers and regulators for return on capital. The state law that seals the deal, known as the Illinois Clean Coal Portfolio Standard Law , signed in January 2009 ( Ill. Pub. Act 95-1027 ) even sets a ceiling of 11.5 percent on the Taylorville plant's wholesale ROE.
Thus, despite its jurisdiction granted by the Federal Power Act, FERC is literally driven out of the picture, as Hill explains further in the Exelon protest:
"The Illinois General Assembly of course has no power whatsoever to set rates for sale of power at wholesale … however, the General Assembly reserved to itself the determination of a fair rate for the PPAs …"
So unless the Illinois legislature acts, Hill adds, Tenaska and CCG would have a FERC-filed rate but no way of cajoling utilities or retail suppliers to buy the plant's above-cost output:
"Such a rate would be of no use … and the proposed TEC would not be built."
This case must surely mark one of the very few in current wholesale power practice where state regulatory interests hold sway over FERC jurisdiction. Nearly all parties in the case suggest that any attempted FERC action now would be pointless. In fact, the Illinois attorney general appears to have won an informal agreement from Christian County Generation and Tenaska to hold off on its filed request at FERC, and to stand and wait for further action from the Illinois General Assembly to cement the terms of the expected 30-year purchased power agreements. (See Unopposed Motion by Illinois Attorney General to Hold Proceedings in Abeyance, FERC Docket No. EL10-27, filed Feb. 4, 2010.)
In this case, at least, the merchant money will have to cool its heels.

ive seen a few reviews on the Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II USM Lens and the Canon EF 70-200mm f4 L IS USM but it all comes down to what you wanna pay and what your going to take with the lens if you needed one say to take photos in low light then the one with the f2.8 if not then the f4 which is the cheapest of the three
there all good but have little bit specs that make them different one being a f4with IS the other two one as no IS and the other one does and as a new design in glass
if i had the money or could win the lotto lol id buy the Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS II USM Lens
first thing monday morning as the saying goes you only get what you pay for
hope this helps
all the best
Hi russ the lens that i have been looking at is the canon ef 70-200mm f4 L usm mainly because of the price.Would you recomend this im a bit worried that it does not have a Image Stabilizer.
well mark
if your taken photos in good light then f4 version would be fine
this is no normal lens its got that big L on it if i can get by with a Tamron f4 f5.6 70 - 300 priced at £99 im sure gonna blow people away with one that costs £497.99 but they do the f4 with IS for £919.00 you got to ask your self chap is the nearly extra £400 worth it you could put that money to some thing else you might need
all the best
Thanks for the feed back russ just seen a review for your lens looks good i think i will go for the Tamron 70-300mm f4-5.6 sp di vc usd lens.The money that i could save could buy me a deasent wide angle lens got any suggestions?
I would look at the efs 55-250is its a lot cheaper and lighter and produces really good images. depends what you want to shoot

Hi Mark

RICHMOND, Va. - With House and Senate Republicans split over a transportation compromise, Democrats may determine whether the first major reforms to Virginia's highway financing system in 27 years.
Decisive floor votes are scheduled for Friday on an agreement by five senators and five delegates that would use a blend of gasoline and sales taxes to generate an additional $880 million a year for upkeep and repairs to Virginia's 58,000 miles of roads.
House and Senate Republican conservatives and Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli oppose what they consider a massive tax increase, differing with GOP leadership in both chambers.
But Democrats aren't sold either, complaining about diversions from the general fund and hoping to barter their support for Republican backing on Medicaid expansion.
Gov. Bob McDonnell offered tepid support for the measure.

Every industry in this country is structured. That includes the automobile industry. Manufacturers have organizations that protect their rights and privileges. Unions make sure that workers receive ample compensation for their work. Automobile sellers can also count on support. For instance, the Idaho Auto Dealers' Association, or IADA, is designed to protect, encourage, and advance the welfare of their members, which are licensed vehicle dealers. Here are a few other facts and information you may find helpful.
Updates on Idaho's Economy
With all the news reports about a troubled economy in the U.S., most everyone is interested in staying updated on what goes on in their neck of the woods. IADA does just that. The organization publishes information on their website about the state's retail industry. You will find details on new dealerships, the average number of employees at a dealership, total sales of new vehicles in the state, and much more.
Training Sessions
Do you own or manage a car dealership in the northwestern region of the United States? You may consider extra training for new and seasoned staff. The industry is constantly changing, and even old-timers can benefit from refresher courses and updates. Organizations like IADA offer training sessions. They give your staff the tools they need to boost your sales.
Professional Connections
Although this is a cut-throat business, car dealers should have business connections. It is better to have a friend than an enemy. How can you expand your professional circle? You become a member of a well-recognized support organization.
Finding Suppliers
Are you in the process of starting a car dealership and need industry-specific supplies? Have you already established a thriving company, but are dissatisfied with your current supplier of key chains, tags, order forms, car parts bags, and other essentials? Many companies advertise with groups with members in the car-selling business.
Local Laws
The majority of laws vary by state. That is also the case in the car industry. It can be tough to stay current on all the changes. What do you know about Idaho's Lemon Law or dealership loaner vehicles? Are you obligated to furnish customers with loaner cars when their vehicle is in service? The Idaho Auto Dealers' Association offers all this information, and much more, on its website.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The revival of "Jekyll & Hyde" won't last nearly as long as the original on Broadway.
Producers said Friday the show starring former "American Idol" contestant Constantine Maroulis and singer Deborah Cox will play its final show May 12. It had initially been scheduled to run through June 30.
When it closes, it will have played 15 previews and 30 regular performances at the Marquis Theatre following a 25-week national tour.
"Jekyll & Hyde" made its Broadway debut in 1997 with songs such as "This Is the Moment," ''A New Life" and "Someone Like You," earning four Tony nominations. It lasted 1,543 performances.
With music by Frank Wildhorn, it tells the story of a London doctor who unleashes his evil alternate personality in his quest to cure his father's mental illness.
Poorly reviewed, the revival didn't earn a single Tony nomination this week. It joins "The Testament of Mary," ''Hands on a Hardbody," ''The Anarchist," ''Scandalous" and "The Performers" to have short lives on Broadway this season.

Fecal matter that is not completely diarrhea, yet not solid either. Also known as the triple s' (semi-solid shats), the nixons commonly have the look and consistancy of seaweed. Usually appear the next morning after a long night of drinking. Many times they "attack" suddenly and without much time to react.
"Dan had to run to the bathroom as fast as he could cause he was attacked by a case of the nixons."

My son eats them up!

I personly haven't tried these, but I got them for my son (probiotics have been shown to help eczema, and in his case, they help!). He eats one with his breakfast or lunch, and seems to like them. I like the value of this product and the fact it's not a powder you have to mix into other foods to get the kid to take it (which also makes it easier to bring with you if you need to give it away from home).
My son loves the taste and it has solved his SEVERE constipation problem!!

I've tried a series of methods to help my son alleviate his severe constipation issues! He would sometimes go 2 days without passing stool. And when he finally would, would end up screaming in agony as he tried to pass the abnormally hardened stool. I was deeply concerned and tried finding the most natural method to help ease his pain, and ensure he had a regular bowl movement daily. I read about this and the http://www.iherb.com/Childlife-Probiotics-with-Colostrum-Mixed-Berry-Flavor-90-Chewable-Tablets/40210 and bought both. Both work miraculously (used separately, not together)!! My son was born prematurely (2 months early) and suffered from acid reflux, and severe constipation, caused by the iron supplements he was required to take as an infant - (which I believe also added to the acid reflux problem)... So he has been a difficult eater since. But now that he is taking these tablets, he passes stool daily and with absolutely NO PAIN (yaaaay!) and therefore his appetite has improved tremendously! Overall he is a healthier and happier boy! I can't express strongly enough how pleased I am with these supplements!! And it makes it all the better that he actually loves taking them, unlike other things I've tried giving him!

I and my two sons like these probiotics so much! It is very tasty, good ingredients, good quantity. This company is doing tests of products in independant laboratoiry - so I trust for quality. And animal-shaped tablets are so interesting for kids! I ordered already third bottle.

Hi Guys
Russ .Your story reminded me of an encounter i had in loch long a few years back back
I was op in the hill overlooking the loch with a nikon d60 and a 35mm lens.This person comes up with a full frame canon and a very expensive looking lens and proceeds to tell me to get a real camera and gear.. I asked what the difference was , and of coarse he gladly told me in great detail. He then showed me a shot he took of the loch with the sky burnt out and the tress out of focus and said see the quality in the canon I replied If you show me where the talent button is on your f/frame canon i will gladly turn it on for you, until then you should take up something constructive like playing tiddlywinks . We gave him a nick name full frame bampot.
Bob I Didn't think it was snobbish , just insensitive or a wee bit demeaning. I think now it's a case of least said quickest mended ... graham
