Carla Jo Carr an Inspiration to Small-Town Dreamers Far and Wide.
An English novelist,
She began singing at the age of 13 and continued chasing her dream to the age of 21, where she pulled over to begin a family. She didnt start singing again until she was in her mid-twenties, and decided it would be an easier hobby for her rather than a career. Now, she has decided this is far more than a hobby to her and she is ready to chase her dreams again. She truly believes that the sky is the limit and that it really is never too late.
When Carla Jo was 13 years old she sang in a band called the Country Express. The band was well known locally and traveled
During her later years with The Country Express, which played shows regularly from 1977 until 1983, Carla Jo became active in pageantry. In 1981 she played her hand in the Tennessee Teen pageant. She won the talent competition. The next year she entered the pageant again, this time she not only won the talent competition, but also took the crown.
Winning this pageant allowed Carla Jo to travel the country like she never had before. She met many people and made a lot of close friends. She went on to win the talent category in the National Teen Miss pageant, and she ended up taking the national crown as well.
Windows and doors began to swing wide open for Carla Jo. During the next year Carla Jo entertained many at a number of venues such as Billy Bobs in Fort Worth, the International Special Olympics in Baton Rouge, the National Leadership Conference in Chicago, a couple of celebrity golf tournaments, Winner of Televised "You Can Be A Star" Nashville TN, also Carla Jo appeared as quest on the Ralph Enery Show.
Needless to say, the busy pageant schedule put The Country Express on hold, but when it came time to pass the crown to the next dreamer,
Carla Jo continued doing what she was doing. Playing at many venues and charity events and fronted several area bands including Smokey Jam, The Country Sounds, and Crosstown Traffic.
Though she was certainly pursuing her dreams and watching door after door open up for her, she wanted what every women wants, a family. In 1984 she married and soon after had two sons.
During the time she was raising her family, she sang off and on, but more so in her childhood roots: gospel music. In 1997, when her kids were a bit older she decided to try giving professional gospel music a go.
As with most things she is involved in, musically, she excelled. She recorded a few different projects under a major
Since her children were at an age where they were becoming more involved in extracurricular activities, she decided that she wasnt finished raising them and decided to take a break and continue singing as a hobby.
Carla Jo began singing with small local gospel groups and for community events upon request, but mostly kept her focus on her family. Soon enough, her kids were grown and she still hadnt lost her dream.
In early 2008 she started small. She was singing at local charity events and began to get similar recognition she did in earlier years. She had old fans of The Country Express saying that they remembered her from all those years ago.
Carla Jo is pursuing her dreams again. One can clearly see she is a woman who knows what she wants and has been blessed with opportunities that many will never see. These opportunities have allowed her to sing with musical acts such as Little Jimmy Dickens, Dale Reeves, Lee Greenwood, Ronnie McDowell, Con Hunley, Jack Green, Chet Atkins, Gold City, Jeff Steel, Perry Sisters, Heirline, Michael Combs, and, more recently, Confederate Railroad. She is living proof that it really is never too late, even for those who prioritize their families before themselves. Carla Jo is truly an inspiration to small-town dreamers far and wide.

A quick perusal of the Web or the health and diet section of any bookstore will turn up a number of articles and books with the word "inflammation" in the title. Authors blame the insidious condition for everything from hay fever and depression to crow's feet; many assure readers that adherence to their specialized, anti-inflammation diet plan will help them shed pounds, banish pain, and reverse the clock. The types of foods common to many of these diets include whole grains, dry beans and legumes, oily fish, nuts and seeds, fruits, vegetables, and certain herbs and spices. These sound like nutritious foods, but is inflammation really the cause of so many ills? And will following a particular diet cure it?
We do know that there is an association between chronic inflammation and obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. What's less clear is how the association works, how concerned you should be about it, and what, if anything, you can do about it. But first, a little background on inflammation is needed.
What is inflammation?
We're all familiar with acute inflammation, which you can feel and often see quite distinctly. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury and the first step in healing; in its acute form, it can be quite dramatic. Whether you have a virus or a cut, the body sends white blood cells to the site of infection or injury, where they release chemicals to protect you. The most obvious sign of acute inflammation is pain, such as when you have a sore throat; you may also experience fever in the case of an infection, or swelling as your body deals with a traumatic injury.
Chronic inflammation is not so easy to identify. "What we're talking about here is low-grade inflammation that you don't see or feel easily," says Vivian Fonseca, MD, Professor of Medicine, Tullis Tulane Alumni Chair in Diabetes, and Chief of the Section of Endocrinology at Tulane University Medical Center in New Orleans. "The whole body is essentially inflamed, particularly the blood vessels."
This inflammation may lead to further biochemical changes that could be detrimental. "Say you get a virus in your throat. You kill the virus, you have some irritation for a few days, and then you're OK," says Dr. Fonseca. "But just imagine if it went on in a very low-grade way for many years; things will never be right. And this seems to be going on in the blood vessels, in some tissues like the liver, and in the heart, and lead to problems in the long term."
Unfortunately, if you have chronic, low-level inflammation, you probably can't tell. It isn't something that you can feel, like swelling or pain. There is a test that may be helpful in detecting it, but it may only be useful under certain conditions. The C-reactive protein (CRP) test measures markers present when inflammation is high and is often ordered if a person is at risk for infection, such as after surgery. High levels of CRP will indicate infection; falling levels indicate the infection is subsiding. For the average person who is not sick or recovering from surgery, however, CRP testing is rarely indicated.

Did Portfolio Steal New York Mag Cover?
And whatŌĆÖs with all the burgers, anyway?
As New York magazineŌĆÖs blog the Daily Intelligencer not-so-subtly points out, there appears to be a striking similarity between the cover of PortfolioŌĆÖs latest issue and New York magazineŌĆÖs July 30 cover. (Daily Intel also makes the valid point that WomenŌĆÖs Wear Daily has become something a mouthpiece for its parent company, Cond├® Nast.)
Did Portfolio steal from New York?
When I asked for comment, a spokesperson for Portfolio sent along the following note: "Thanks for getting in touch. We are actually going to take a pass on commenting on this. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do."
Guess youŌĆÖll have to decide for yourself.
The undeniable similarity recalls Pablo PicassoŌĆÖs famous words: ŌĆ£Bad artists copy. Great artists steal.ŌĆØ
It also recalls PicassoŌĆÖs other famous words: ŌĆ£WhatŌĆÖs with all the hamburgers?ŌĆØ Scientific American put out its own burger cover this past September.

Sandstorm Metals & Energy Ltd Com (NASDAQOTH:STTYF.DL)
Those familiar with Silver Wheaton and Sandstorm Gold know these managment teams are truly a shareholders best friend. These same investors may or may not be aware with Sandstorm's sister company which Sandstorm Resources spun off in 2010. The purpose of this is three-fold:
1) Create the only 100% gold royalty company - Which should earn Sandstorm Gold a higher multiple.
2) Create the first royalty company focused on the entire base metals and energy markets.
3) Increase deal flow via doing joint streaming deals whereby one takes gold component of the deal and the other takes the base metals component.
While the royalty model and most recently "streaming" are becoming well known within the mining industry, the same can't be said for base metals nor energy,with some exceptions such as Franco-Nevada, but never an entire royalty company. While Sandstorm Gold has and continues to remain one of my top holdings, I would be poorly served by not paying attention to the M&E company.
Other than great management and a brilliant business model, Sandstorm Metals and Energy has the added bonus of being the first "streaming" company in both these industries. I could easily see several more companies trying to mimic this model going forward, but given the aggressive growth strategies implemented by Sandstorm M&E, it should remain the largest in this new niche that is starting to develop.
Although Sandstorm M&E is earlier in its infancy relative to its brother company, its has already completed several streaming deals, focused on thermal and mettalurgical coal as well as Oil. Thus far, six coal streams, two oil streams and a overall company royalty have been acquired. Going forward Sandstorm mgmt has indicated its desire to complete the first of what will likely be many base metal streams. It also will look to acquire Uranium (royalties), Geothermal, Natural Gas, Copper, Zinc, Lead, Iron-ore, etc. the following is a brief summary of deals completed to date, valuation of its coal and oil streams and the financial capabilities to fund growth going forward.
1) Rex - Far and away Sandstorms most lucrative asset in which the NPV of all future cash flows is worth more than the current market cap (more on this later). With cash flow expected towards the end of the year, investors should see a revaluation of the company after the bottom line reflects just how great of an acquisition this truly was. Rex is a Met Coal stream in the U.S, which is expected to produce 450-500k t/y and 2p reserves of >30m tons. In other words, barring a substancial increase in annual production, current reserves dictate a LOM >60 years!! Sandstorm will receive 25% until a pre-determined amt is produced, at which time it will decrease to 16%. Cost per ongoing ton is $75 with a guaranteed payback of 5 yrs.
2) Rose Mine - Currently producing Met Coal, Sandstorm currently has a 25% streaming interest which will drop back to 16%. Annual Production is approx 150k tons with on-going cash costs of $75/t. *
3) Ikerhd - Production soon to come-online for this thermal coal stream. Like the previous coal streams, Sandstorm will initially have a 25% streaming interest, dropping back to 16%. Estimated production is 320k tons annually @ $55/t. *
4) Big Branch + BB extension - Currently producing approx 500k tons of thermal coal annually, which will increase courtesy of the extension to 800k tons annually. Sandstorm currently has an 18% streaming interest, which will fall back to 12% @ $55/t. *
5) SID - Advanced development, with completion expected in early 2012. Like Big Branch, Sandsotrm will initially have a 18% streaming interest, which falls back to 12% @$55/t. Annual Production estimated to be 500k tons annually. *
6) A 2.7% Royalty on all assets owned by Royal Coal
7) Two Creek (Jurrasic A pool for life of ops, 5 yrs B pool) - Enhanced Oil Recovery with guaranteed pay back. Sandstorm will recieve 25% of all Oil, nat gas & NGL produced foe the life of asset @ $15/bbl, $1/mcf, $8/ngl. **
8) Strathmore - 15% of all oil, nat gas and nat gas liquids produced @ $15/bbl , $1.00/mcf and $8/ngl for life of asset.**
9) Bracemac-Mcleod – 17.5% of all copper produced for the life of mine @$.80 cents until 16mlbs have been delivered, increasing to $1.05 thereafter. Although this was negotiated by Donner Metals (DONFF.PK) (who has a 35% interest in the company), Xstrata (the operator) agreed to the arrangement which essentially is 50% of Donner's attributable production. Sandstorm absolutely stole this stream, commencing production in 2013. Current estimates are for 24m lbs in 2013, 16m lbs in 2014, 21m lbs in 2015 & 2016. Although current 2p reserves will only support a 4 year mine life, the actual life of this project is likely well in excess of 10 years. M&I reserves are substantial additional resource updates to come. Sandstorm was able to steal this stream as Donner was financially over extended and did not want to engage in equity dilution. At current spot price, payback of $20 million will be achieved in the first two years. While Donner has the option to repurchase half this stream for 24 months, it seems unlikely as it will cost them 14 million. If this should occur, however, Sandstorm would have acquired an 8.75% stream for just $6 million.
10) Gordon Creek – Sandstorm Metals and Energy also announced the $25m acquisition of a 35% natural gas stream from Thunderbird Energy (TBDYF.PK). While current production estimates are only projected for the first year of operation (2014) - 2Bcf @ $1/mcf and 20% of the market price above $4/mcf.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/281150-sandstorm-it-just-keeps-getting-better - Complete article and valuation
* - Guaranteed paypack within 5 years ** - Subject to buydown right of 50% of stream (Two Creek - 12.5%) (Strathmore - 7.5%).


text: Say hi to a walking, deadly biological weapon by the name of Nobuo Tanaka from the Stink Bomb short of Memories. After eating what he thought was cold medicine, Nobuo becomes a walking stench cloud whose odors can wreck havoc on electronics and knock out anyone into unconsciousness who gets in range of him and his odors. And even air masks aren't strong enough to filter out the immense odors his body gives off if you get too close to this guy. So to test out this guy's immense odors, I'd like anyone to think up of someone from Naruto who could outright kill him. To make this an interesting battle, there will be two scenarios for folks to judge the chances of anyone from Naruto taking this guy out: not being aware of Nobuo's stench and being aware of it to prepare against him. Have fun!

How to Creatively Decorate a Freshwater Fish Tank
Most of the people who own one fish or more have one thing in common--a plain, boring fish tank! Just a few minor touch-ups (or even a couple major ones!) can add life and something unique to any aquarium.
1Consider the size of your fish tank- a good rule of thumb is to have a gallon of water for every inch on the fish. More space means more room for decoration, and happier fish!.Ad
2Add gravel accessories. You can buy a small bag of specially made, multi-colored 'rocks' that stay on the bottom of the aquarium. These, as well as entertain the fish, can be color coordinated to the gravel or room. They can come in shapes such as plus signs, shells, rings, orbs, and more.
3Attach an aquarium background. These can be made to look like a scene inside a river, the bottom of the ocean, a different (lushly decorated) aquarium, and more. The fish are stimulated by the image, and the backgrounds are easy to attach, move, and change. They also add depth and beauty to an aquarium.
4Buy bigger, wider, bushier and prettier plants. As well as the selection of plants at the pet store, there is also a very wide variety of plants online- jut use a search engine like Google! Put plants you choose in different locations, and switch out occasionally. It doesn't matter whether or not the tank is lush with flora or down to just one plant, aquatic plants add a lot of beauty to an aquarium.
5Look at the selection of tank rocks or accessories. Some people may prefer rocks that look natural; but shipwrecks, castle ruins, bridges, and scuba divers can be good choices too. Lots of fish like to swim around, under, and over bridges and accessories with open holes and spaces.
We could really use your help!
car stereos?
cleaning clothes?
business writing?
- Always make sure your tank is big enough for the fish occupying it.
- Be creative with gravel! Don't be afraid to mix colors or buy pretty colors. A good rule is to buy 1 lb. of gravel for each gallon of water. You can also check on packages to see how many gallons the bag of gravel fills in.
- Avoid putting aggressive fish in a tank with smaller fish, as well as putting cold-water fish with warm-water fish.
- Be sure to have a filter, heater, thermometer, or other items like that to ensure the health and safety of your fish.
- You should try to use sinking fish flakes or pellets because if you have floating flakes you fish might fall prey to the terribly painful, and possibly deadly, condition called "Bloatsy". This is when the fish accidentally gets air in it's stomach when eating the top floating food eventually this can kill your fish.
- Many people believe that the fish tank they choose is big enough for the fish they keep, but many times it is not!
- Test the water of the tank at least once in 3 days, in order to control the levels of ammonia, nitrite, pH, hardness, etc. Always ensure that you have an aquarium test kit.
- Add a personal touch! I have seen people move aquariums into old TVs ( check thrift stores), onto bookcases, and lots of other things! If you have an old TV, check out the article on the bottom of the page.
- Buy fish that are compatible with one another. Ask sales associates or do a little research prior to buying fish. They can become a big responsibility!
- Never mix sea rock or sea shells in a fresh water tank.
- Make sure the gravel in a tank is NOT washed with soap, detergent, bleach, or etc. If not washed out properly, those products can poison a fish.
- Fish can get trapped in the hollows of rock ornaments. I had a situation with a guppy becoming trapped in a rock. Make sure you buy rocks that are not hollow or have easy means of escaping if fish do wander inside.

Using Google's Advanced Image Search Features (4:35)
In an effort to stem teacher apprehension about letting students at the elementary level just "google" their image, Fred Koch created this screencast on the features of Google Advanced Image Search. In particular, this tutorial points to the importance of citing images, finding images which are 'labeled for reuse' and examining the SafeSearch options.

Changing the subject a bit. Just last week a mate of mine who's into astronomy, flew from Doncaster up to Stornaway I think, to get a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
I think the Canon 350 and 450 use the same lenses anyway, so there shouldnt be a great difference in image quality.
Could be wrong.
I understand that software/firmware can be upgraded, but it wont up the 350's 8megapixel to the 450's 12megapixel. nor will it increase the lcd screen size either, I suspect there is a few other changes too.
I agree with what you say about megapixels, I dont believe in them personally, but I very much doubt that a 350 has got to the 450 stage with just software tweaks.
megapixels are a double edged sword.
the more there are the greater the overall resoloution, which is nice. however if a 3mp sensor is the same size as an 12mp sensor then each pixel is going to be a magnitude of 4 smaller.
this introduces noise into the print, and that shitty purple hazing.
more important than the actual ammount of pixels is the "crop factor" cmos sensors are smaller than 35mm film so a photo taken on my old 35mm camera will generaly include more of a scene than one taken with a dslr with a 1.5 crop factor (fairly common as are 1.6 and 2.0) with a 2.0 crop factor you effectively lose the left quarter and the top quarter of a print.
Then theres sensor types, CCD's are shitty consmer point and click grade sensors, cropped to shit and fairly inaccurate at best.
then you get CMOS chips that are far better quality and cost a bus-ton more. the downside to these as with ccd's is that its a single layered grid that maps each pixels color in RGB and brightness. so a pixel can either be red green or blue and have a luminocity assigned to it.
JFET sensors are just high end CMOS sensors that suprisingly enough are very rarely used (probably down to different fabrication processes)
all of the above work on the principle of the Bayer pattern effect.
this is some jiggery pokery which decrees that the human eye sees mostly green so 50% of the pixels will be green, 25% red and 25% blue. so every pixel is biased towards green.
next comes the awesome X3 sensors that are tripple layered and can assign multiple colors and brightneses for each pixel giving far more accurate results, the downside is you generaly need to remorgage a house to pick up a decent chip that wont be cropped to shit
These work on the foveon principle that measures each pixels green red and blue tone simultaneously giving results that are more accurate than the human eye can actualy percieve, bearing in mind that its better to have more data initialy then drop the excess later in post production than it is to spend hours screwing around with a shot that doesnt have enough and wont look "right" regardless of how many filters and wizardry you apply.
course manufacturesr dont like to really discuss this because these considerations dont fall into a 12 is bigger than 3 so it has to be better mentality that consumers just love.

Facebook: 'Like' the Web Site, Hate Its IPO
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- There's been a hint of IPO mania happening during the past year, and while it's nice to see new companies coming to the market, there have not been many names that have captured the interest of this value investor.
What has been interesting is the proliferation of companies coming to market that offer free services and generate revenue through advertising. These businesses often ask consumers to pay up for a premium version of their services. I use many of these services personally -- the free versions, that is. I won't pay up for bells and whistles.
It's a classic case of "use the products, but don't buy the stock." Some of these initial public offerings have come amid much fanfare, with the granddaddy of them all happening Friday, when Facebook (FB) begins trading. Let's first look at the stocks of other recent IPOs.
10 Stocks to 'Like' When Facebook Goes Public >>LinkedIn (LNKD), which operates a useful online professional network, went public at $45 a share last May. One year later, the shares have risen 250%, and many would call this IPO a great success. The company is profitable, but trades at more than 750 times trailing earnings and 18.5 times revenue. Using 2013 analyst estimates, the company trades for 89 times what it's expected to earn, and 8.5 times its forecast revenue. That's far from cheap. While it's a far cry from the tech-bubble IPOs of the late 1990s, when some companies had no revenue, it still harkens back to that time. I've used LinkedIn for several years -- the free version, that is. I love the product, but won't pay for it, and I won't buy the stock either. Pandora Media (P) came public at $16 a share last June. Nearly one year later, the shares are trading for about $10, down 60%. This Internet radio company's product is outstanding, and I use it on a daily basis -- the free version, that is. I don't mind hearing a few commercials in lieu of paying up. Pandora is not profitable on a trailing 12-month basis, and sells for about six times its sales.

Miss California, Carrie Prejean, has been dethroned for what is being vaguely termed "contract violations", but what really sounds like a prissy attitude because Prejean refused to make certain appearances. Keith Lewis, a state pageant director said, "It has become abundantly clear that Carrie is unwilling to fulfill her obligations under our contract and work together." The verdict isn't a surprise, but is perhaps a bit belated considering the nude picture scandal that almost lost her the crown last month. Along with her public statements against "opposite" marriage (that's gay marriage for those not proficient in ditz), Prejean hasn't been America's favorite figure. She'll be replaced by runner-up Tami Farrell. With sex, beauty, lies, and probably a lot of tears, we think it's only a matter of time before Hollywood adapts this story for the small screen. Paris Hilton could finally win an Emmy! [CNN]

Bold Statements
A large-scale art installation nodsto a changing Manhattan neighborhood
By Dickson Wong
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it only took a few good phrases for conceptual artist Barbara Kruger to create a striking installation in Manhattan's Meatpacking District, a commission from the Whitney Museum of American Art. Oversize vinyl sheets printed with bold phrases—"You are not what you seem," "Plenty is Enough"—cover the pavement, fences, and structures on the construction site for the museum's second location, slated to open in 2015. Kruger's texts point to the neighborhood's transformation from gritty warehouse-lined streets to a nexus for fashion, art, and culture. The best view is on the High Line walkway above. Binoculars not needed.

Drivers need to be cautious of flooded roads
Localised flooding remains on many roads around Warwickshire and with rain forecast this week motorists are being called upon to obey 'road closed' signs and to be careful when driving over standing water.
Andrew Savage, Warwickshire County Council's County Highways Operational Services Managers, said: "During the past weekend we have had to close more than 60 roads with the assistance of the police to help ensure the safety of motorists. The weekend has stretched resources with several crews from Carillion Highway Maintenance having to clear fallen trees, provide sand bags, pump out properties using jetting lorries and put out hundreds of warning signs.
"It was quite remarkable how quickly the level of floods and water courses changed on Friday. Fortunately compared to the Easter 1998 floods it appears no loss of life was sustained. A number of drivers had to be rescued by helicopter early Saturday morning in southern parts of the county."
Mr Savage said a number of roads sustained damage through the sheer force and velocity of floodwater. The Fosse Way has been damaged in two locations.
Many drivers sustained damage to vehicles as they attempted to drive through flood water.
Mr Savage said: "The extent of abandoned cars highlight the vulnerability of cars going through not much more than 100-150mm of water. It is particularly hazardous driving across flowing floodwater whether it is river water or from adjacent fields, even 4x4 vehicles got caught out as drivers attempted to get through the water."
A number of bridges have sustained parapet damage due to the height of the flooding. Detailed underwater inspections will be carried out in August when the water levels are hopefully lower to check for scour erosion to foundations.
The current situation with road closures at 14:30 on Monday is as follows:

All of the articles on this (e.g. at TechCrunch and O'Reilly) seem to have giant, static screenshots that don't convey the essence of Google Wave. This is something you have to see in action to appreciate. Not everyone will want to watch the 80 minute demo, but keep it in mind for a rainy day.
The nut of the idea is that Wave represents a kind of maturity of digital communications– whereas what came on the web before it was mere digitization of analog formats. Here are some of the questions they set out to answer (taken straight from their Google Blog post):
- Why do we have to live with divides between different types of communication — email versus chat, or conversations versus documents?
- Could a single communications model span all or most of the systems in use on the web today, in one smooth continuum? How simple could we make it?
- What if we tried designing a communications system that took advantage of computers' current abilities, rather than imitating non-electronic forms?
Just as it took decades for the "horseless carriage" to mature into the car — from a convenience to something that effectively paved the way (so to speak) for such cultural paradigms as suburbia and adolescence (think cruising & "parking") — it has taken decades for "electronic mail" to evolve into something distinct and generative in its own right.
Om Malik responded with a degree of skepticism, suggesting it will take a long time for Wave to replace email. I agree. But I also agree with him enthusiastically when he says
Don't get me wrong – I want Google Wave to succeed. It is, after all, the product of my dreams.
As I watched the demo I could see a lot of my current wants and frustrations about working and communicating online ("I wish there was ____… wish we had ____… wish I could just ____…") being knocked-off one by one.
To name a few examples:
I don't think there's any question of it succeeding in the long term. I also don't think there's any question that 90% of the general public isn't going to go anywhere near Wave's full functionality.
Wave is for people who love making things. Call it "creative ambition" if you want… creative investment.
We're finally seeing some concrete progress towards the "attitude of Web 3.0" I described in 2007 (in a post that is holding up pretty well, if I may say so):
The mistake back in 2000 was to conceive the web in limited terms of commerce by consumers. By now we've learned to think in terms of experience by users. But now that isn't enough either. To continue growing we need to conceive the web in terms of education by creators.
It may take another whole generation to get us there — an entire cohort to have grown up and gone through school using these tools.
But even that presumes too much. How do we know that our assumptions about what it means to "grow up and go through school" aren't going to change radically (again)?
In fact, I'm sure those assumptions will change. It might end up being more accurate to say, "it may take an entire cohort to have grown up and not gone through school — to have learned via creative collaboration instead…"
It's still too early to find out exactly how this progress will play out, but we do know that it will happen. And just as I'm rejoicing the new tools, I'm elated by hope for a more creative culture.

After being canceled by NBC in July, Lifetime has given new life to Betty White's Off Their Rockers.
The cable network has ordered 20 half-hour episodes of the hidden camera series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Celebrities with doppelganger kids
White will return as host for the third season, which will air sometime in 2014.
Moderator Geraldo Rivera and AMW host John Walsh talk about the new responsibilities of today's parents when it comes to keeping their children safe. Walsh discusses the intelligence and methodology of predators.
AMW host John Walsh tells moderator Geraldo Rivera how he copes with the sheer volume of tips and requests for help submitted to the show's hotline and website.
Moderator Geraldo Rivera and AMW host John Walsh talk about media fixation on missing white victims versus cases involving children of color. Walsh says there is a bias and that missing children of color are rarely covered by the mainstream media.
AMW host John Walsh tells moderator Geraldo Rivera how he copes with the psychic burden of the murder of his son, Adam. Walsh says he uses the show as a bully pulpit to be the voice of the voiceless in order to "catch the uncatchable."
Calling all units: Cops is staking out a new home. After a landmark 25 seasons on Fox, the bad boys, bad boys of documentary/reality show will be moving to Spike TV this fall.
America's Most Wanted may be coming to a close, but John Walsh isn't getting out of the crime-fighting business. In his first interview since TV Guide Magazine broke the news that Lifetime had canceled AMW, Walsh says he's mulling several options for his next move in TV.

Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Insiders confirm that the upcoming 25th season of Cops could be the last on Fox. But that doesn't mean the end of the show. Executive producer John Langley tells TV Guide Magazine that he will shop the long-running series elsewhere next spring should Fox decide not to pick up a 26th season.

Memorial University's Queen Elizabeth II Library provides essential support for Canada's only English-language PhD level program in folklore. The library's commitment to this program has resulted in a collection of over 30,000 monographs, with over 200 journals directly focused on folklore/life and another 500 - 600 journals with relevant material. In addition, the library holds several microform and digital collections, such as the Winterthur Trade Catalogues, the Madden Ballads, e-HRAF World Cultures, Smithsonian Global Sound, Daily Life Online World Folklore and Folklife and several of the Adam Matthew Digital collections. These resources provide a variety of useful information for folklore studies.The library began expanding its folklore/life section in the mid-1960s, when the Department of Folklore was established at Memorial University. At that time, the library was fortunate to have the invaluable assistance of the first department head, Dr. Herbert Halpert, an international scholar and bibliographer. Dr. Halpert was instrumental in both recommending and locating material on folklore for the library, and constructed an excellent bibliographic foundation for the collection. Sadly, Dr. Halpert passed away in 2000, but the library acquired his personal collection of over 10,000 folklore monographs and journals as a gift from his family. The Halpert Collection is completely catalogued and can be searched online by using the "Advanced Search" option in the Memorial University of Newfoundland Libraries' Catalogue (limit the "location" to "Halpert Collection"). The Halpert Collection is not open for browsing and items from the collection do not circulate; however, Halpert materials may be viewed at the Archives and Special Collections reading room (located immediately behind the Centre for Newfoundland Studies service desk).
The library has been fortunate also in obtaining the financial assistance of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The folklore component of the library was designated a "specialized research collection" in Canada, thus eligible for grants to expand the collection parameters. To date, this extra funding has resulted in purchase of German, Italian, Spanish and Scandinavian language material, back issues of important periodicals, and several large microform research sets. The library is grateful for this past assistance from the Government of Canada.
Primarily, however, the library acquires material written in English and French. The major geographic focus is upon Newfoundland, with importance attached to Canada in particular and North America in general. Britain, Ireland and France, as historic centers of emigration to Newfoundland, also receive attention in selection of relevant material.
The vast majority of material in the library has been catalogued for open access, except in the Centre for Newfoundland Studies, which restricts in-person use of its archival and/or rare collection to a reading room. Nonetheless, it is unusual to refuse interlibrary loan requests for material located in any section of the library. The library promotes this service through reporting its holdings to both national databases.
Many of the library archival resources are currently being digitized and added to the DAI (Digital Archives Initiative) for the world to explore and enjoy. Folklore researchers may be particularly interested in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Inventory, Labrador Innu Myths and Legends, the CNS digitized book collection, or the digitized copies of the Material History Bulletin.
Access to folklore material is provided both through MUN library catalogues and through commercial reference tools such as the MLA bibliography and America: History and Life. The regional database, Atlantic Canada Newspaper Survey, is also available.
Memorial University libraries maintain their commitment to the folklore program even in times of budgetary restraint. For example, priority has been assigned to preservation of folklore materials and a decision has been made to retain any folklore journal subscription which is unique to Memorial University among libraries across Canada -- regardless of the level of use. This unique collection is of value to scholarly study both within and outside of Newfoundland, and is treated as an important resource.

Welcome to the June 2003 edition. Summer is arriving here in eastern Canada, as thoughts turn to plans for summer activities, vacations, etc. Wherever you may be, I hope you are out enjoying yourself. I'd like to extend Happy Father's Day greetings to all the dads in our group.
Our turnout of contributors, to both the newsletter in general, and the monthly survey question, continues to be very low. There are literally thousands of you out there around the world receiving and hopefully enjoying this free publication each month. I'd really enjoy seeing some new names appearing on our contributors' list.
I'd like to welcome a new group of subscribers from Western Europe this month, particularly a new group from France. I'm not sure where you all found out about the Newsletter, but welcome aboard.
This month's "Special Zone" will feature sites relating to D-Day, the upcoming Father's Day celebration, and one of the largest events of the year for amateur radio operators: Field Day.
Enjoy it all, and feel free to get involved. Have a great month.
Last month's question dealt with your dream form of transportation: If money was no object and you could own any vehicle, any make, any model, that you wanted, what would it be? Here are the results from the 23 respondents:
9 votes: sports car
5 votes: luxury car
5 votes: sports utility vehicle (incl. 3 Hummers!)
3 votes: luxury motor home
2 votes: sports utility vehicle
1 vote: motorcycle
Here is a very interesting question which someone asked me the other day. It is a great question to throw out at a family gathering, a party among friends, etc. The answers we got were all over the table. Let's see what it does here. If you could have one famous person, living or dead, over to your home, for a one-on-one, sit-down dinner, who would it be?
There are no restrictions here. It could be a politician, inventor, celebrity, musician or anyone else. Feel free to give us the reasons for your choice. Please send your response by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

The annual ARRL Field Day event is coming up at the end of June. The object is to work as many stations as possible on any and all amateur bands (excluding the 30, 17, and 12-metre bands) and in doing so to learn to operate in abnormal situations in less than optimal conditions. A premium is placed on developing skills to meet the challenges of emergency preparedness as well as to acquaint the general public with the capabilities of Amateur Radio. Check out the ARRL's special page for Field Day details, rules and other related information.

Reporters Without Borders is an association officially recognised as serving the public interest. More than a third of the world's people live in countries where there is no press freedom. Reporters Without Borders works constantly to restore their right to be informed. Thirty-one media professionals lost their lives in 2001 for doing what they were paid to do keeping us informed. Today, more than 120 journalists around the world are in prison simply for doing their job. In Nepal, Eritrea and China, they can spend years in jail just for using the "wrong" word or photo. Reporters Without Borders believes imprisoning or killing a journalist is like eliminating a key witness and threatens everyone's right to be informed. It has been fighting such practices for more than 17 years. This site is available in English, French and Spanish.

As we look back on the 20th Century, there has been much debate over who are the most influential figures of the past 100 years; Time magazine selected Albert Einstein as its "Person of the Century." Other publications have selected the likes of Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Jonas Salk. Not much thought has been given, however, to those people or things that have played little or no role at all in some of the major events of the past century. So, in celebration of the New Millennium, See Span Run will honor those people or things that were completely irrelevant in shaping the 20th century.

Bolivarianism is a set of political doctrines that enjoys currency in parts of South America, especially Venezuela. Bolivarianism is named after Simón Bolívar, the 19th century Venezuelan general and liberator who led the struggle for independence throughout much of South America.
Bolivarianism of Hugo Chávez[edit]
|This article is part of a series on the
politics and government of
In recent years, Bolivarianism's most significant political manifestation was in the government of Venezuela's president Hugo Chávez, who from the beginning of his presidency called himself a Bolivarian patriot and applied his interpretation of several of Bolívar's ideals to everyday affairs, as part of the Bolivarian Revolution. That included the 1999 Constitution, which changed Venezuela's name to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, and other ideas such as the Bolivarian Schools, Bolivarian Circles, and the Universidad Bolivariana de Venezuela. Often, the term Bolivarianism is used specifically to refer to Chávez's rule. The central points of Bolivarianism, as extolled by Chávez,[citation needed] are:
- South American economic and political sovereignty (anti-imperialism)
- Grassroots political participation of the population via popular votes and referendums (Participative democracy)
- Economic self-sufficiency (in food, consumer durables, etc.)
- Instilling in people a national ethic of patriotic service
- Equitable distribution of (South America's) vast natural resources
- Eliminating corruption
Chávez's version of Bolivarianism, although drawing heavily from Simón Bolívar's ideals, was also drawn from the writings of Marxist historian Federico Brito Figueroa. Chávez was also influenced by the South American tradition of cooperativism early in his life, such as that practiced by Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara and Salvador Allende. Other key influences on Chávez's political philosophy include Ezequiel Zamora and Simón Rodríguez. Although Chávez himself referred to his ideology as Bolivarianismo ("Bolivarianism"), Chávez's supporters and opponents in Venezuela refer to themselves as being either for or against "chavismo".[citation needed] Chávez supporters refer to themselves as "chavistas".[citation needed]
Later in his life, Chávez would acknowledge the role that democratic socialism (a form of socialism that calls for democratic institutions in the economy) plays in Bolivarianism. For example, on 30 January 2005 at the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, Chávez declared his support for democratic socialism as integral to Bolivarianism, proclaiming that humanity must embrace "a new type of socialism, a humanist one, which puts humans, and not machines or the state, ahead of everything".[1] He later reiterated this sentiment in a 26 February speech at the 4th Summit on Social Debt held in Caracas.
Other definitions and dispute[edit]
Historically, there has been no universally accepted definition as to the proper use of the terms Bolivarianism and Bolivarian within all the countries in the region. Many leaders, movements and parties have indistinctly used them to describe themselves throughout most of the 19th and 20th centuries.
People who have called themselves bolivarianos claim to follow the general ideology expressed in Bolívar's texts such as the Carta de Jamaica and the Discurso de Angostura. Some of Bolívar's ideas include forming a union of Latin American countries, providing public education, and enforcing sovereignty to fight against foreign invasion, which has been interpreted to include economic domination by foreign powers. An example of such a union was Gran Colombia, a block of countries consisting of Venezuela, Colombia, Panamá (part of New Granada in that time) and Ecuador.
The Colombian insurgent group FARC has, in recent years, also considered itself to be inspired by Bolívar's ideals and by his role in the 19th century independence struggle against Spain. It has also publicly declared its sympathy towards Hugo Chávez and his Bolivarian Revolution, though none of the either confirm or deny any involvement with the insurgent group.
A Venezuelan guerrilla organization, the Bolivarian Forces of Liberation, also espouses Bolivarianism, although it is not known if they have any ties to the Venezuelan government.
Bolivarianism in Venezuela is also referred to (sometimes pejoratively by its opponents)[2] as chavismo or "Chavezism".[3] Adherents are referred to as chavistas.
Several political parties in Venezuela support chavismo. The main party, directly affiliated with Chávez, is the PSUV, United Socialist Party of Venezuela, which replaced the Fifth Republic Movement (Spanish: Movimiento Quinta Republica, usually referred to by the three letters, MVR). Other parties and movements supporting chavismo include Communist Party of Venezuela, Venezuelan Popular Unity and Tupamaros.
The left-wing Fatherland for All (Spanish: Patria Para Todos or PPT), Movement for Socialism (Spanish: Movimiento al Socialismo or MAS ), Radical Cause (Spanish: Causa R) and For Social Democracy (Spanish: Por la Democracia Social) initially supported chavismo, but they have since distanced themselves from it, and now oppose it.
A 2002 article in The Boston Globe said chavismo "fueled the eruption of public fury that swept the charismatic and confrontational president back into power after a group of military officers deposed him for two days in April in favor of a businessman-president," adding that the "Chavismo phenomenon has almost religious qualities."[4]
El Universal reports that former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva distanced himself from Chavezism, saying that Brazil is not Venezuela, and has traditional institutions.[5]
In early May 2008, prior to embarking on a one-week Latin America trip that took her to Brazil, Colombia, Mexico and lastly Peru, where the European Union-Latin America summit took place the week starting 18 May,[6] Angela Merkel, Germany's chancellor, declared: "President Chavez does not speak for Latin America. Every country has its own voice with which it pursues its own interests."

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for fine tuning my gear and for all your great instruction in teaching the "Essentials of Rec" class to a newly open water certified diver such as myself. The patience of you and your instructors during the past two days of class was incredible. With having done only 10 dives so far, the "Essentials" class has allowed me to walk away with a strong foundation of skills that I can practice and carry forward in all my future diving endeavors. Many thanks again.
