DINWIDDIE, Va. (AP) -- A Virginia high school student was told to change his "Duck Dynasty" T-shirt because school officials feared it might be misinterpreted as promoting violence.
The offending T-shirt showed one of the characters from the reality TV show clenching his fist with the message, "I will hurt you physically and metaphysically."
Edna-Jo Spain told WWBT-TV (http://bit.ly/16kCSvR ) in Richmond her son Hunter was told Wednesday to turn the shirt inside-out or go home. He slipped into another T-shirt.
Superintendent David Clark said the shirt's message could be misinterpreted by non-viewers. He said the rural Virginia school district likes to keep messages on students' shirts "as non-violent as possible."
Set in Louisiana bayou country, "Duck Dynasty" follows a brood of brothers who manufacture duck calls and love to go bird hunting.

WASHINGTON -- I guess you could call it the calm before the storm. A very mild Monday as temperatures rise into the upper 40s to low 50s, well above our average temperature of 43 degrees! Then we head into tomorrow. That's when we will face some problems: snow problems.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for the entire WTOP listening area from Tuesday 7 a.m. until 11 p.m.

There is a good chance we could see some accumulating snow for everybody around the region and probably the best chance we have seen yet this winter. So what is going on?
Another piece of energy moving in from Canada -- remember the clippers? -- will head southeast Monday out of the northern plains and through the Ohio Valley.
While this is going on, a frontal system will drop through the region crossing the area Monday night. The piece of energy slipping into the region will join with the front and eventually cause an area of low pressure to form off the coast along the front through the day Tuesday. That low will move northeast, just off of the east coast line.

Lows Monday will drop into the 20s and then pretty much stay in the 20s, below freezing, for Tuesday. Therefore, there is no question that the snow will stick. Snow will begin to impact the region starting early Tuesday morning from the west -- most likely around 7a.m. The snow will continue to spread eastward and reach the D.C. metro area anywhere from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
At this point, current thinking is anywhere from 3 inches to 6 inches of snow around the area with some locally higher amounts (these are subject to change). Since it will be fairly dry, the snow will be of the fluffy nature, which can tend to pile up quickly.
Potential snow totals for Tuesday (Courtesy WJLA)
There is a 60 percent chance of getting at least 4 inches of snow in the D.C. region. We do believe that it will be slightly more in total accumulation -- 4 inches to 6 inches -- to the north and west, mostly gathering at the onset and then also more south and east of the D.C. area once the storm forms off the coast. That could bring in 4 inches to 8 inches, with 8 inches being the locally higher amount.
Not only are we worrying about the snow falling, we are going to have some breezy conditions through the day Tuesday. Northwest winds anywhere from 10 to 20 mph will bring wind chills down into the single digits, mainly for the afternoon hours. This will also cause blowing snow around the region as the heaviest of snow will fall during the afternoon hours.
Snow will come to an end by the time we head into Tuesday night, but winds will stay put at least through the first part of Wednesday dropping wind chills Wednesday morning to below 0 degrees.
Tuesday snow factors (Courtesy WJLA)
Tuesday morning will not be quite as bad as the afternoon. Even with that being said, I do believe there will be some cancellations for schools and office buildings.

Andrew Ladd's goal that made it 2-0 early in the second period stood up as the winner, and Bryan Little also scored for Winnipeg. The Jets won for the third time in 10 games while opening a season-high five-game road swing. Jason Pominville scored for Buffalo, once again booed by its home crowd. The Sabres are 4-9-1 in their past 14 and have dropped consecutive home games for the first time since last February. Pavelec, who was playing his 200th NHL game, made 11 third-period saves for a Jets team that continues to have difficulty generating offense. Winnipeg has gone seven games without scoring three goals in regulation.

Quakers win double OT thriller
Sophomore Johnson sets career-high with 24 points
January 12, 2013
The Wilmington bench erupts in the waning moments of Saturday's double overtime victory. (Wilmington photo/Randy Sarvis)
With Wilmington's two top leading scorers forced to be spectators after fouling out, sophomore Dwight Johnson (Dayton, OH/Jefferson) strapped the WC men's basketball team on his back and led the Fightin' Quakers to the 108-102 double overtime victory Saturday in Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) action at Fred Raizk Arena in Hermann Court.
"It says a lot about our grit and toughness to power through and get the win," said Wilmington head coach K.C. Hunt.
It was Wilmington's first home victory in OAC action, and the first time it won the game when allowing more than 70 points in regulation.
Despite Johnson's stellar play, the game wasn't decided until Wilmington converted 6-of-6 from the foul line in the second overtime. Junior Klarke Ransome (Richwood, OH/North Union) hit four straight, then junior Taylor Wellman (Norwood, OH/Norwood) capped the scoring with two. After making going just 4-of-12 from the line in the first half, Wilmington went 18-of-21 from the charity stripe in the final 30 minutes.
Johnson scored half of his career-high 24 points in the two overtime sessions, including a stretch of six straight in the first overtime. The sophomore point guard added six assists, three rebounds and zero turnovers in 41 minutes of action.
"Dwight is growing as a player," said Hunt. "I thought he was tremendous tonight. He made a couple of big shots. When you play 41 minutes with six assists and no turnovers that is a tremendous day for a point guard. I thought they really couldn't guard him. We saw throughout the game his penetration and ability to break down the defense was key to us having success on the offensive end."
After Mount Union took the lead with a four-point play with 1:42 remaining in the first overtime, Johnson hit back-to-back layups to give WC a three-point led. Mount Union hit a equalizing three-pointer with 26 seconds left, but another driving layup by Johnson gave Wilmington the lead with six seconds remaining. The game was sent into a second overtime session as the Purple Raiders took the ball the length of the court as time expired.
A jumper by Ben Vonderhaar (Cincinnati, OH/Colerain) to kick off the second overtime gave Wilmington a lead they wouldn't relinquish. A steal by junior Jordan Berlin (Wilmington, OH/Wilmington) led to a three-point play by Johnson, and helped the Fightin' Quakers continue its momentum – and they carried it to a win.
The extra sessions, with 11:14 left in the game, looked to be a longshot as Wilmington led by 13. But, the Purple Raiders continued to chip away. The Mount Union cause was aided when Heard picked up his fourth foul, then a technical foul for his fifth with WC leading by nine at 9:37.
Mount Union trailed by eight with 5:23 and five with 1:30 as Ransome drilled a three-pointer. But, a three-point play and driving layup with 17 seconds knotted sent the game into overtime. Johnson had a chance for the win, but his shot hit the back of the rim.
"As a young player, you have to go through some missed game winners before you can make that game winner," said Hunt. "I have a ton of confidence in our guards in general, not just Dwight, to make plays when the game is on the line – and I thought we did that today. "
Before fouling out the in the first overtime period, senior Brandon Candella (West Chester, OH/Lakota West) added 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting.
With Heard forced to watch the final 19-plus minutes, Vonderhaar and senior Miles Bankston (Cincinnati, OH/Walnut Hills) gave Wilmington its post presence. Bankston scored a career-high 14 points and four rebounds, while Vonderhaar recorded 12 points with five rebounds.
"I thought Miles was tremendous tonight," said Hunt. "When Malcolm goes out with his five fouls, I thought Miles was a real key, both he and Ben, rebounding the basketball and scoring around the bucket. It was real nice to see them step up."
Junior Malcolm Heard II (Wilmington, OH/Wilmington) added 10 points for the Green and White.
Wilmington (7-8 overall, 4-4 OAC) returns to home 7:30 p.m. Wednesday against Ohio Northern as they Quakers look to get back to .500 for the first time since December 6.
"The next game is a huge game, you have to win on your home floor," said Hunt. "We stressed that all week, leading to this game, about protecting the W in the middle of the floor. I thought we took a lot of pride in that tonight. I would be real nice to play in front of our students for the first time this season."

July 1, 2005 Dear President George W. Bush / Senators,
As organizations of varying faith denominations, we hold differing views on judicial nominations. Some of us have taken positions on judicial nominees while others have not, but together, we join in a common belief that the Senate and the President must uphold the process of "advise and consent" as nominees to the Supreme Court are considered. As we prepare for the first nomination of a Supreme Court justice in over a decade, we write to share with you our belief in the importance of openness and bi-partisan consultation throughout the nomination and confirmation processes.
As you well know, the nine members of the Supreme Court have a unique and significant role as interpreters of the rights and liberties enjoyed by Americans of all faiths and no faith. The same Constitution that guarantees our religious freedoms also endows the Senate with the responsibility to advise and consent on judicial nominations. This model was followed during the most recent Supreme Court vacancies when, prior to nominating Justices Ginsburg and Breyer, President Clinton consulted with then-Senate Judiciary Ranking Member Orrin Hatch. In light of this important precedent, it is essential that the Senate and President engage in a non-partisan and thorough debate on the merits of any future nominees. Anything less would fail to respect the significance of a lifetime appointment to our country's highest court.
The importance of a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court cannot be overstated. A justice selected today will potentially serve for two or more generations – interpreting American law well into our children's lifetimes. For these reasons, the temperament, qualifications and judicial philosophy of any Supreme Court nominee should be thoroughly and carefully examined by the Senate.
The confirmation process must also be free of the divisive and dangerous practice of using Senators' and nominees' faiths as a wedge. Just as nominees should be evaluated based on their public records and actions and not their faith traditions, Senators' faiths should never be called into question based on their support for or opposition to a particular nominee.
An open and bipartisan consultative process is critical to ensuring that the act of nominating and confirming a Supreme Court justice is fair, legitimate, and beyond reproach. We hope that you agree and will work to ensure a confirmation process and Supreme Court befitting this great nation.

Good to know. I'm always looking for novels that get me right in. The last Stephen king novel I read left me wanting but I'm prepared to give him another go with your high recommendations. The last book I read that really got me in was Tully by Paullina Simons. It's not a thriller or anything but the relationships in it were so intriguing I just had to find out how it ended. xxReplyDelete
Ooohhh - the new Stephen King. Glad you loved it, I also relish those book moments.ReplyDelete
Will read it once I've cleared my current back log of must reads.

We're officially in the swing of county fairs and many are offering some great new food, shows and even rides. But organizers at the Jefferson County Fair are making sure the history and tradition don't get lost amid all the new attractions. As our Brian Dwyer tells us, agriculture and animals are getting the same spotlight they got 195 years ago when this fair first started.
WATERTOWN, N.Y. --There's no big show under the big tent at the Jefferson County Fair. No circus, no thrill ride and no fried Oreos. Instead, the stars of the oldest continuous fair in the nation are animals. The cows, rabbits, goats, pigs and more that have helped provide Jefferson County with thousands of jobs, hundreds of millions of dollars and fresh local foods for as long as this fair has been around.
"People don't get to a chance to interact with farm animals and see them anymore. Not like they used to 50 years ago," Jefferson County Fair President Bob Simpson said.
"So many times I have kids say to me, where does the milk come from and their response was 'from the store'. Let's take that back a step because that's not the case," local farmer Katrina Ellis, of Ellis Farms, said.
In a time where larger farms are scaling down or closing, the fair offers people a chance to see, up close, the power agriculture has played in their past and can play in their future, even on the smallest of scales.
"Especially with it being a transient society with our huge Fort Drum population, someone can raise a few hens, have their own eggs," Jefferson County Fair Poultry and Rabbit Superintendent Laura Dorr said. "Raise a few rabbits to learn about livestock."
For many, that learning can be rewarding in a different way. Most county fairs have livestock competitions and groups like 4-H help get youngsters involved in all aspects of raising animals.
"It's a great learning experience. It teaches responsibility, dedication and it's a lot of fun here," Ellis said.
"Also there's a reward for caring for your animal and raising a good quality animal," Dorr added.
Many of the winners here will get the chance to bring their animals to Syracuse to compete at the state fair and possibly national and international events.
The fair runs through Saturday.

There was mention of three superchargers being implemented in Texas in the initial supercharger openings. If that turns out to be correct, between Houston and Austin would certainly be the location of one of them.
I am interested to see if stephen.pace@ka. at #964, Lynn005 at #548 or tonybass100 at #276 has received their Model S yet.
I am way down the list at #6009- anticipated at Q1 2013 so trying to see how the production numbers are doing.
Getting my electrical outlet for the charging taken care of in the next month. Actually need to get my garage revamped to allow the Model S to fit. I have a 3 series BMW that the garage has encroached on its space since it is small.
@jwolens: I haven't gotten mine yet, but based on the TMC wiki, I expect I will hear very soon, for delivery sometime in November. We'll see! As soon as I hear for sure, I'll post here.
Out in Tomball (NW Houston) - being told that it will be December for #3498. Crossing my fingers. I have got to point where I hate filling up my car anymore.
I was out of town during the Test Drive event in Houston, so I have not been able to get a test drive yet. I am #8872 (expected delivery March 2013), so I have some time, but Tesla has informed me that there will not be any permanent cars located in Texas in the near future, and that they do not have any more test drive events planned for Houston. They claim that the Texas laws are keeping them from having permanent cars at the Texas locations. Maybe we can all petition them to schedule another test drive event. Not sure what they expect the Texas reservation holders to do to get a test drive - fly to Fremont? It's also a bit disconcerting that they don't provide production updates. There's no way to tell if they're on schedule or not. If some of the people who do receive cars could post the date received and their reservation number, that would help.
I do not understand what Texas rules TM is refering to. However, once I get my S, you can drive it. We could likely set up with the Houston site for them to conduct the test drive.
J King - that would be great. I really appreciate the offer. I am currently spending about 60% of my time in China, but can certainly schedule something with you once you get your car. I live in League City and have been trying to add myself to the map, but difficulties in updating from China. When is your expected delivery? Thanks for the link to the delivery information - used it to get to the spreadsheet by timdorr.
I believe I will receive the car in late November or December. I do not have any definative information yet. My sequence number is 2,358 of the General Production (P) reservation list
My delivery is now expected to be in November. They told me October or November, but said I would be getting a call about 30 days ahead of time for scheduling. I'll let everyone know when I get the call.
I got the email to finalize my build. That should be 3 months until delivery from what they say. #6009.
Any one heard about the Houston service center? I thought they would have announced this in September.
Sounds like end of October is possible depending on contractors. I believe the location is Beltway 8 @ Westpark. If that is true, it is fairly close to my house.
2 things.
Service center is supposed to be at Beltway 8 and Westpark. Not sure when it is to open.
Next- supercharger. First time am am hesitating abut the Tesla. Originally the supercharger option was standard on 85Kwh battery, not available on the 40Kwh battery and TBD on the 60Kwh battery. Then it was listed as included on the 60Kwh. Then, Elon Musk reported there was going to be a charge for the 60Kwh at the Supercharger unveiling event. I went to the store over the weekend and was told that since I had already desired that option and it was listed as included, the fee would be waived.
I called to finalize my build and was told they would not waive any fees for me. I was told that some people are going to get the hardware included for free with the 60Kwh battery while others will not. They decided if you have reservation 4000 or earlier, it will be available for free and you will have to pay if you are above that reservation number.
I am not happy at all about the back and forth. We all are trusting this company that is in many people's mind doomed to fail because we believe this technology is the future and the people at Telsa are the people that are going to bring this to reality. The way they are handling this concerns me and I am thinking about postponing / delaying my deliver at this point.
Houston Coffee and Cars is again this weekend:
NEXT GATHERING: NOVEMBER 3, 2012 Join us the first Saturday morning of November for our next gathering. From 8:00AM until 10:00AM at Vintage Park.
Anyone else going? I plan to park near the Fiskers if I can get a space. If you go, please come say hi! I'll be the Sig Red Model S with 19" wheels.
I've been assured that late November is my target delivery date, even though I don't have a VIN yet. I may try to stop by Coffee and Cars tomorrow.
J King - have you heard anything yet about your delivery yet? I'm back in Houston for a short time, but leave again just before Thanksgiving.
stephen.pace - Enjoyed meeting and talking with you at C&C. I can't wait to have mine to show and tell!
@RLA_P12194 Very nice to meet you as well and the other reservation holders that stopped by! Great turnout today and I was fortunate to be able to park near two Roadsters which helps me tell the story. Lots of interest in the car--one guy said 'seeing the Model S made his show' since it was the only 'new' thing he saw all day. Lots of 'I didn't know they were shipping yet!' and even a few 'Is this a Fisker?' :-) One guy also asked me how long I'd been selling Teslas and said it was hard to believe that it was my car.
Seeing the reaction of people (especially kids) when the door handles pop out and when the hood comes up is still priceless. I need to video the reactions and edit them together. Would be a classic.
@Keith72. I have not requested a delivery update. TSM is still around 2000 cars away from me and any estimate would be a guess. I think late December to mod January is likely.
J King - thanks for the spreadsheet on deliveries etc. Its appreciated. Hope service center is where you suggested as that is also fairly close to me.
Nice to see StphenPace at the Coffee and Cars NOV 3 !! Nice NICE car. Lots of interest. Stephen, you are an excellent TESLA ambassador !
@gkalexdc Thanks, I try! :-)
Got my "It's Time to Build Your Model S" email today. #8872
Completed my configuration and they're estimating February/March delivery.
I'm in League City
@Keith72: Awesome! What configuration did you pick?
#8,742 P 85. 21 grey wheels ,Green, grey, lacewood, armor, tech, shelf, everything except reader facing seats! Got finalize order Nov 21, and signed the docs Nov 22. If it'd built by Dec19, Tesla said delivery est is Feb/Mar 2013.
Metallic Blue, 85 KWh, 21" wheels, Tech Pkg, Active Air Suspension, Twin Chargers, Tan leather. Didn't want the panoramic roof (had a convertible a few years back and it's too hot most of the year for me to keep the roof down)
Nice! I like the blue a lot.
Houston Coffee and Cars is again this weekend:
NEXT GATHERING: DECEMBER 1, 2012 Join us the first Saturday morning of December for our next gathering. From 8:00AM until 10:00AM at Vintage Park.

I'll try to be at this gathering. I'm sure you'll be there with your Red Sig, Stephen?
@foto: Planning on it for sure. I'll probably arrive at 6:30am or so and try to park where I did last time, at the back of the front lot.

Kirk reports:
I have been talking to Jules for a few months. She has joined the bee club and had bees in her wall. So she got her equipment together then called me to come over and do a trap out.
Now in about a month she will have a hive. Her kids are also very excited about having bees. These bees have been in the wall for a couple of years now.

{*~The Farmer's Wife Quilt-a-Long Week 1~*}
Hi friends!!!!
Phew! What a day! Welcome to The Farmer's Wife Quilt-a-long Week One!
Angela & I have been working on our blocks, bouncing ideas off each other and tweeting a lot!
We each are doing things a little differently, I'm going talk a little bit about what I'm doing, I'll let her share her thoughts with you!
One of main reasons for doing this quilt is the challenge. I want to get better at piecing, playing with color and learning about traditional quilt blocks. But also, I want to become better friends with Angela, she's going to the Sewing Summit & I thought it would be a great way to chat with her and build a quilt together! And I'm dying to see how YOU interpret these blocks!!!! AND! I'm dying to be a farmer's wife. I want a little farm so bad it hurts. Ok. Back to business!
I'm doing the blocks in order, starting with number one. I'm using fabrics from my stash and scraps. Chris had a great idea the other night on twitter to use charms, I have TONS of charms floating around and used a few in these blocks. Since the blocks are small (6×6 finished) you can really use the smallest bits & pieces from your stash. Best!
What I LOVE about this is two blocks a week I can handle. I'm doing my blocks in whatever colors I feel like sewing with that day. If this quilt is a colorful bit of crazy, I'm a-ok with that because it's sashed! I have no idea what solid I'll use but I have TONS of time to think about it.
Here is Block #1- Attic Windows
Prince Charming by Tula Pink, Plume by Tula Pink, 1001 Peeps by Lizzy House
This block was really fun to make. It was my first experience using a template (all the blocks in the book have templates!) that had notches. And I LOVE THEM. It makes lining things up so much easier. I'm really into navy blue lately so I used some navy's and aqua's!
Block #2 Autumn Tints
Fabrics used: It's a hoot by Momo, Aviary 2 by Joel Dewberry, Hullabaloo by Urban Chiks & Prince Charming by Tula Pink
So this block was really awesome to make, think of all the possibilities!!! I love autumn, so I thought about doing it in autumn-y colors or maybe a Halloween block, but I went outside and everything was SO BRIGHT GREEN. And I decided I needed to sew something really bright & spring-y (even though it's down pouring outside ;)) See why I need this project? I get the urge to sew with zillions of colors at all different times! One thing I'm going to keep in mind is stripes. Even though the block is perfectly square, it looks a little off because of how I lined the prints up!
Here is a tool I can't live without:
Clover Fabric Adhesive! I put a dab of it on the back of my template so it doesn't slide around when rotary cutting.
Please consider joining us in making this quilt! You'll need the book "The Farmer's Wife" By Laurie Aaron Hird and we'd love it if you joined our flickr group, even if it's just to encourage us on, 111 blocks is a LOT!
Thanks for stopping by!!!
PS: The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery needs help naming our newest sewing pattern! Please, please, please stop by our facebook page and check out our sneak peek & help us name it! If we pick your name you will win a free pattern of your choice!

Moses was found in the streamAn infant is saved from some calamity by being cast into the hands of Fate by his parents, whose lives are sometimes claimed by the same calamity. Fate promptly deposits the young hero with a family (usually poor and humble) who will raise him up to be good, just, noble and strong. He remains ignorant of his true heritage, except perhaps for some trinket — a ring or maybe a pendant, or sometimes even a distinctive birthmark — which can identify him to someone who knew his parents. Sometimes the infant is abandoned in the wilderness by the villain, who doesn't want to murder the child directly, and instead wants it to die from exposure. This never works out as planned. Often the hero is an aristocrat or even a prince(ss), whose nurture by a humble family gives him a refreshingly egalitarian view on things when he finally discovers his heritage and takes his rightful position. A vital stage in the Genocide Backfire plot. Also known as a Foundling Tale. Contrast with Cinderella Circumstances, Changeling Tale (which is the inverse of this trope). See also Changeling Fantasy. Compare Doorstop Baby, Switched at Birth, Separated at Birth, Muggle Foster Parents, Wonder Child, Wild Child, Noble Fugitive. See also Parental Abandonment, Fling a Light into the Future, and The Ark which is another ancient motif. Results from a Nice Job Breaking It, Herod!.

mail bouncing in the account which were never sent.
Today I have received many bounced mails in my account, which I never sent.
It appears that my system is compromised and mail are being sent from my account.
please suggest a appropriate solution to overcome this.
here is a copy of the bounced mail.
This is the mail system at host server1.mywebsolutions.co.in.
This does not nescessarily mean that the server is compromised, most likely someone got just a password of a email account on your server e.g. when the user authenticated without encryption over a open wlan and someone sniffed the password. Is this a email account on your server?
If yes, then you should change the password of this account to stop the mail sending.
Yes, this mail account is on the server.
I have changed the password and that appears to have solved the problem, but how can I prevent the same in the future.
You can not prevent it. If you give somone a password for a service on your server like amil, ftp, ssh, mysql, etc. then it can happen that he looses the password or someone steals or guesses the password etc. So all you can do is to monotor your system and when you recognice any unusual activity, investigate it and shutdown the account or change the password.

airport: Surprisingly minimal security at the gate. Still, it's better than what existed before. I'm a still little miffed though, as zana and I were told on the phone to be at the gate three hours prior to departure. It took 10 minutes to get everything set. Zana has an hour more to wait than me.
airport (redux): This is definitely the most organized I've ever seen the airport.
airport (electricity): Just changed gtkmarshal.list. I managed to find a plug just prior to compilation. This is very good, as I was afraid I'd be low on battery before boarding the plane.
hacking (GTK+-HEAD): With some help from anders (happy birthday!), I got editable cells working pretty well.
music: My dad got me a copy of György Ligeti for my birthday. It's very, very good airport music. Björk is good airport music too. Something about those 'ö's…

What To Do When You Outgrow Your Camera
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
So, you've reached the point where your handy point-and-shoot just isn't giving you the flexibility and control that you'd really like to take your photography to the next level. Or, you have a beginner's D-SLR and you'd like to progress to something that has more capabilities and features. Perhaps you're ready to explore the vast array of lenses, or remote shooting, or remote flash triggers.
Whatever your ultimate goal is, consider the following five tips when you think you've outgrown your current camera:
One – Consider your circumstances. Has your skill changed, or has your life changed? Do you find yourself in more circumstances that require a specific kind of photography? Some examples might be coaching and/or attending your kids' sporting events, an extended travel vacation to once-in-a-lifetime destinations, the creation of a new website, and whatnot. Or, if your skill has changed (or if you would like it to change), are you looking for versatility in depth of field? Increased megapixels for better prints? Does macro photography interest you? How about wildlife photography? Or do you enjoy taking portraits? All of these goals would use different camera/lens combinations.
Two – Stick with a brand. You're going to start buying accessories and lenses. You may already have a collection of lenses from your old film camera that will work with a new D-SLR. That's one of the main reasons why I, myself, chose a Canon D-SLR when I was ready to buy my first one. I had a film Canon, and the lenses were compatible with the D-SLR line. So, unless you can afford to completely accessorize, say, a Nikon AND a Canon, or a Sony AND an Olympus, I would recommend researching the brands and planning on extending your loyalty to just one.
Three – Consider your motivations. A new camera won't necessarily mean you'll take better pictures. So if you have a specific complaint about the pictures that you're getting with your current camera, consider – is it really the camera, or can you better learn photographic technique? Are your pictures consistently blurry or ill-framed? Do they end up just looking like a bunch of "snapshots", not capturing the feeling behind the shot? Perhaps you may want to consider brushing up on your photography basics. Barring mechanical issues, that is. Of course, if your camera only has automatic settings and no way to manually control aperture, shutter speed, white balance, and the like… well, maybe it IS the camera!
Four – Give yourself room to grow. If you're really passionate about photography, and find yourself constantly pouring over pictures and trying to figure out "how they did that", you will need a camera that gives you plenty of room to learn and grow. Don't start out with your very first D-SLR being so darned complex and with so many buttons that it intimidates you and makes you want to give up in disgust. On the opposite end, don't start with something so simplistic that it does all of your thinking for you. Entry level D-SLR's like the Canon Rebel XS, the Nikon D40, the Olympus Evolt E520 and the Sony Alpha A380L are all great choices. Of course, you will need to consider your individual budget when purchasing your camera. Prices can range from a couple of hundred dollars to thousands upon thousands! Here is a great article from Digital Photography School on how to choose a D-SLR camera.
Five – Talk to other camera owners, and test-drive some cameras. You can read all of the literature you want, study all of the Amazon customer reviews, and drive yourself crazy with all of the opinions out there. Bottom line, your best resource is other camera owners. Talk to your friends, talk to your family, see if you can borrow a camera for an afternoon to get the feel of things. Your absolute best bet is to rent several different kinds of cameras from your local camera shop (or our friends at Pro Photo Rental). "Try before you buy" is a fantastic way to determine the right camera for you.
I hope you've found these tips to be helpful. If you have any other advice or experiences to share, please let us know in the comments!

Niels - 16/04/2001
This dance is cool! Tricky at first because of the unusual pattern of steps plus the syncopated steps at the end, but once you master it the dance flows superbly to the music. Did I forget to say the music is great too?! Very funky... For variation try to add two full turns to the right on counts 32, 1, 2 and 3. Go for it!

Julia Wallace - 14/04/2001
We were taught this dance and I'll admit the club I attend is biased towards it as it is ran by the choreographers mum. That aside the dance not only does it fit the music very well, it is fun to do. There are several dances to this piece of music, but this one has to be tried and I am sure that you'll be addicted.

Every Relay For Life event is made up of volunteers forming teams to spend 24-hours together around the track raising money to eradicate cancer. Teams can be made up of friends, families, co-workers, religious groups, classmates, and neighbours. Every team brings its own special energy to the event by hosting on-site fundraisers, creating campsites, and enjoying each other's company while educating the community about cancer prevention. The event gives each community the opportunity to create their own celebration, from Sydney, Australia to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. People gather with a common cause, to support their local cancer organization through Relay For Life.
In South Africa, Relay For Life has helped unify communities in a post-apartheid world. Volunteers of many races and different backgrounds come together at Relay events to fight a common enemy: cancer.
Relay has demonstrated that despite natural disasters such as in Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and in the United States, communities heal through coming together for a common purpose no matter what the circumstance.
Through Relay For Life, communities begin to understand that cancer touches everybody and everyone has a role in supporting each of these countries.
Relay For Life provides an opportunity for the average person to impact the future of cancer. In Relays around the world, cancer survivors are honoured through a special survivor celebration before each event.
Relay For Life gives a chance for those who have lost a loved one to remember their friends and family, in a safe environment, by participating in the overnight Luminaria ceremony.
At the conclusion of each Relay For Life, participants commit to continuing the fight back against cancer in their own way. Volunteers in South Africa recently urged their male participants to consider necessary prostate testing through the distribution of a take-home reminder kit at their event, while volunteers in the United Kingdom educated their participants on sun safety.
Relay For Life is the largest cancer fundraiser in the world, raising over $5 Billion USD. Countries around the world are feeling the impact of raising funds through Relay For Life. Luxembourg raised almost $300,000 in 2010, to support their cancer organization's mission, while the Canadian Cancer Society raised over $52,000,000 in their local communities. Relay For Life provides an opportunity to raise money within the context of community outreach. In Honduras and Guatemala, Relay For Life has become the one place where the community gathers to remember those lost to cancer, and despite the huge economic challenges, people find creative ways to raise money that supports their cancer organization in its life saving work.

On a chilly Friday last March, after a long day of medical appointments, my late husband and I checked into The Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common, for an overnight splurge. We thought that even a short getaway at a great hotel would allow us to escape the world of illness and enjoy time together. It worked like a charm. I remember every moment, from our easy conversation over melt-in-your-mouth petit filets at dinner to snuggling in the world's most comfortable bed and getting the best night's ...

We here at Front Towards Gamer's Operation Supply Drop are still reeling from the nationwide success of our first annual "8-Bit Salute to Veterans" over Veterans Day weekend, raising $57,000 in games and gaming gear for soldiers deployed to Afghanistan. We are currently in the middle of distributing six massive $3500 care packages full of the latest and greatest gaming gear, but we've got even more to give away. I mean, it IS the Holidays after all, and what unit deployed overseas wouldn't want a giant box of video gaming madness to open up to give them a little taste of home?
So, as I've been a lazy, lazy ranger doing things like Hitman Absolution gameguides and playing through Far Cry 3 instead of writing up this announcement, I'm going to double down for the Holidays with another six care packages! Sure, I go by Shanghai Six, but you can just call me "Santa Six"….or maybe "Shanghai Claus"?
Given the nationwide media attention Operation Supply Drop received over Veterans Day, the outpouring of requests for video game stuffed care packages is at an all time high, and we've definitely got the moolah following Veteran's Day fundraising to make sure we take care of another six units…although some of these requests are particularly different and/or interesting. Let's just say last week's visit to Walter Reed Military hospital to drop off our first continental US care package (code named VALKYRIE WING, to men and women recovering from grievous injuries sustained while in Afghanistan) made me realize that there's more to do out there than just sending out care packages to units stationed in Afghanistan.
So check these bad boys out:
Care Package Code Name DIGITAL CLIFF:
Because sometimes, you just have to branch out and take a risk, this care package is going to a United States Embassy in Ethiopia to Roland and his Marine guard detachment stationed there. I know what you're thinking, "What? This isn't in Afghanistan, why are these guys and gals getting a care package?" Fairly simple: 1) uh, it's Ethiopia and not the United States and 2) ever hear of a place called Benghazi? For those of you not familiar with how embassies work, they're little pockets of U.S. presence, usually in the middle of some pretty nasty foreign territory. If a thousand angry protesters suddenly descend on the Embassy…well, let's just say things can go from "just another day" to "volume cranked to 11″ on a whim. So yes, Roland and his crew are getting a care package, thanks to my contact over at the State Department. Deal with it.
Care Package Code Name TREASURE TROVE:
My name is Daniel and I'm a combat engineer in South Afghanistan. We do route clearance and on average we do missions about 6 days out of 7 on average and anywhere from 4 hours to 9 hours or more (we're supposed to be on four days/off three lol). My primary job is a driver for the vehicles. I'll be in two years this December (signed up 7 days after I turned 18). My unit is from Michigan and we are all National Guard with prior Active duty members. Thank you for everything you do!
Care Package Code Name KICK PUNCHER (aka 'Man, I miss the show Community'):
I'm a platoon sergeant for a Aviation MEDEVAC (Medical air evacuation) company, we have 5 platoons spread out along RC West. Our relaxation options are a tent with a phone, a TV with the Armed Forces Network (when the wind doesn't knock it out), and sharing movies (were about out of those too!). Your probably more than aware that as air MEDEVAC we work on quick response times, so that limits our ability to really to do anything. We did have a big improvement to our area, after being here for a month and using a bucket as our restroom, we just got a latrine trailer with showers, so while we're on this little streak of good fortune I thought I would see if your organization would like to donate to our company. Most of our bases have either an Xbox or a PS3, so anything you can send would be great! Thanks for the consideration and keep up the awesome work, it's groups and organizations like yours that REALLY make the difference in helping deployed troops get through hell with their sanity.
Care Package Code Name: BLACK MOUNTAIN (in honor of Vaas 'Montenegro' from Far Cry 3)
My name is Bradley and I have been looking for a site to help my guys make it through this deployment. We were looking for something to pass the time and help keep up the morale. We are with the 101st airborne div from Fort Campbell, KY. Some of the guys it is their first deployment and some of us our third. I would like to try to ease the pain of these guys first deployment with some down time entertainment. So I am asking for some help. I am doing this in secrecy of my guys to kinda surprise them one day to bring the morale up and help them through the first deployment. Thank you in advance for what you are doing and have been doing for our troops.
Care Package Code Name MUSTANG STAMPEDE:
My name is Sean with 1st Tanks Battalion. This is actually my first deployment with the Marine Corps. I am set to join others such as the Navy and Airforce on a (MEU) Marine Expeditionary Unit. We are currently on boat headed out to the eastern side of the world. As we are on boat, there are things here to do such as read and go to the gym, but we are very limited to what we have. Therefore we would be very grateful to anything that can be sent to use to keep us busy. We have a PS Vita that we share as a unit. Thank you for you time and we gladly appreciate what you and other organizations are doing.
Care Package Code Name NAUGHTY LIST:
This Christmas, a trio of boys are trying their best to celebrate Christmas having lost their father. Their father Larry was severely injured in Iraq in battle and passed away March 2012. Larry's widow reached out for assistance, and Operation Supply Drop will be happy to provide those three boys a little something to brighten up this Christmas for them. Again, trying something different to help branch out!
If you'd like to help us out with one helping fill one of these care packages, here are four ways you can donate:
1) Use the Chipin link on the front of Front Towards Gamer.com. OR
2) Use the Chipin link on the front page of Operation Supply Drop.org. OR
3) Make a Paypal donation to email@example.com.
4) If you don't want to send cash, you can simply send your used games or gear to the following address to make the next care package:
Operation Supply Drop
9301 Alvyn Lake Circle
Bristow VA, 20136
You know, and even if you can't donate, just help get the word out on Twitter, Facebook, and other various social media links! You help out and it costs you nothing but a few seconds of your time!

COM Veterans Club provides camaraderie, guidance
Posted on: February 03, 2012
Texas City native Ruben Garcia served as a combat medic in the United States Army
from 2001-09, including 18 months in Iraq.
When he enrolled at College of the Mainland in the fall of 2009, he began planning a
veterans club to provide guidance and camaraderie to fellow military personnel
returning from war.
With the help of COM science professor Tracy Orr, Garcia, 31, started the COM
Veterans Club.
"The veterans organization saved my life," Garcia said. "It gave me somewhere to
feel safe and it let me meet other brothers-in-arms that had been through the same
thing. I can look in somebody else's eyes and know what they've been through
without even talking."
Orr, who served in the United States Air Force from 1983-1991, was honored to be
the club's faculty advisor.
"We do as much as we can to help them out," Orr said. "We make veterans aware of
the benefits. A lot of times when they come back they don't know what they're
eligible for."
Club historian Chris Willhelm served in the U.S. Navy submarine units from 2004-
09. He grew up in San Diego but decided to attend COM because his family lives in
the area.
Willhelm, an art major who's focused on visual design and photography, takes
pictures of the club's events.
"I think I get more out of (the club) from helping out people in the group," Willhelm
said. "If a problem comes up, I know they'll do the same for me."
G.I. Jobs Magazine selected COM as a military-friendly school last year, and the club
is a major part of the support network for veterans on campus.
Dr. Bob Sindylek, a retired U.S. Marine and a licensed counselor supervisor from
League City, meets with the group every Tuesday to assist with transitioning to civilian life on Tuesdays at 12:30 p.m. in the Public Service Careers Building, Room 116. For more information, contact Derick Hutchinson at 409-933-8156. Among the topics discussed is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Veterans groups such as the Wounded Warrior Project, VFW, Marine Corps League
and the American Legion meet with COM veterans during the Tuesday meetings.
The club participated in a local Toys for Tots campaign and will be involved in
providing bracelets for Breast Cancer survivors with Relay for Life.
"We're community service-based," Garcia said. "We're keeping veterans on the
forefront. We want to empower them and give them the tools to be successful in the
Garcia is on schedule to earn his associate in general studies this semester and an
associate in science degree next semester. His long term plans include becoming a
"I've met some really great professors here," Garcia said. "I've been impressed with
the caliber of instructors and professors we have here."

USS Ohioan (ID # 3280), 1918-1919.
Originally, and later, S.S. Ohioan (American Freighter, 1914)
USS Ohioan, a 14,500 ton (displacement) cargo ship, was built at Sparrows Point, Maryland, in 1914 as the 6646 gross ton commercial freighter of the same name. Acquired by the Navy in August 1918, she was placed in commission at that time and subsequently made two voyages to France with cargo needed to support the First World War combat effort. In December 1918, at the conclusion of her second trip, Ohioan was transferred from the Naval Overseas Transportation Service to the Cruiser and Transport Force and began conversion to a troop transport. Over several months, beginning in early 1919, the ship brought home more that 8000 American war veterans. USS Ohioan was decommissioned in October 1919 and returned to her owner, the American Hawaiian Steamship Company of New York. S.S. Ohioan operated commercially until October 1936, when she was wrecked near San Francisco, California.

Have you heard the one about a Celtics game, a tossed pickle and death threats?
At some point during last night's fourth quarter, while I was busy plotting Ryan Hollins' 2013 All-Star campaign, a man several rows behind me at the TD Garden (we'll call him Jiri Welsch) threw a pickle at the person directly in front of me (we'll call him Brett Szabo). Szabo had been standing up and Welsch apparently took offense to his impaired view of the court. The pickle, I suppose, was Welsch's way of politely asking Szabo to sit his ass down.
I already knew Szabo was a free spirit — he spent much of his night begging me (wearing a press pass, doing my best job of pretending to be a reporter) to drink a beer. But I did not know he would soon threaten to "Columbine this bitch."
The pickle landed next to Szabo, not connecting with his body at all. Still, he turned around and, in the spirit of the Palace Brawl, targeted the wrong person. Rather than scream at Jiri Welsch, he began directing obscenities at the person directly behind me (we'll call him Todd Day). I sat there, trying to focus my concentration on what JaJuan Johnson and Sean Williams were doing on the parquet floor approximately 80 feet away from us. But after a few minutes of the argument boiling next to me, I realized focusing on the game wasn't going to happen.
"I ain't no punk," Szabo shouted. He wore a tight grey shirt and a matching beret. He did not look all that intimidating, but his words told a different story. "I ain't afraid to shoot nobody in the head."
"Shut up, tough guy," responded Todd Day, who, again, was not actually the pickle-thrower. "Anybody can talk tough like that across a table."
"Oh, you want me to come across the table? Bitch, I'll shoot you and everybody you know. I'll Columbine this bitch if I need to. I don't need to call anybody else. I'll do it my damn self."
"Alright, whatever you say boss. Have a nice night. Hope you're enjoying yourself right now."
At that, Szabo turned to one of his friends seated next to him.
"Can you believe this shit? He's acting like I'm a punk. I ain't no punk. I ain't no bitch. Mother-fucker threw a pickle at me."
The friend looked at Szabo, who had been drinking heavily all game, whose eyes looked one step away from death.
"No need to blow this up, man. I don't even think it was him who threw the pickle."
Everything calmed down with that. Szabo kept his mouth shut. Day stopped pretending to be the pickle-chucker. I went back to watching the game, which the Celtics would win 87-74.
Yet the incident had not been given closure. That would come about 15 minutes later when security arrived at Szabo's row.
"We need a word with you, sir," Szabo was told.
Not willing to be entirely disturbed by the security guard who was about to drag his ass out of the TD Garden, Szabo took his full beer and chugged it. The security guards, oddly enough, patiently waited for the chug, which was both impressively quick and more disrespectful than the 7th-grade class clown. When the last of the beer went down Szabo's throat, the security guards escorted him out of our section and likely out of the building. One of his friends left with him. The other two remained in their seats.
A woman two rows in front of Szabo's turned to his friends and asked something like, "Is he always like that?"
One of the friends responded, "No, but he is when he takes a bottle of vodka to the face," then reached underneath Szabo's vacated seat and pulled out an empty handle of vodka.
Somehow, Szabo had smuggled vodka into the TD Garden, drank all of it, then used a thrown pickle that missed its mark to justify threatening a man's life.
At least he didn't Columbine that bitch, at least as far as I know.
One Response to "Have you heard the one about a Celtics game, a tossed pickle and death threats?"
Good piece. This is funny material.

I didn't exactly go out on much of a limb two weeks ago in my analysis of the Fiserv acquisition of OSI when I predicted more vendor consolidation. But this week's FIS and ACI acquisitions do highlight my point about how payments are driving everything in the bank IT systems world right now. Payments are driving all of the innovation, and payments will drive most of the acquisition activity in the bank technology vendor (and credit union technology) space for a while.
Why is that? Because every graph of ecommerce and mobile payments have the "up and to the right" hockey stick, growth curve that investors crave.
It's still too early to pick who will ultimately own mobile payments processing. Will it be banks? Phone providers? EFT processors? Card networks? Or any of the upstart non-traditional players? Remains to be seen, but the bank technology vendors are betting that having hooks into you and your customer network will be part of their winning strategy.
Both of these acquisitions were clearly about vendors' access to your payments' processing. And while neither of these two acquisitions will have much of an immediate impact on most small to mid size banks and credit unions (neither mFoundry or ORCC were top 3 players in the small to mid size bank and credit union market), there is an important takeaway here.
With bank technology vendors and credit union technology vendors so eager to get your payments processing, they are willing to deeply discount the platforms that give them access to those payments.
Our team negotiates Internet banking, bill pay and mobile contracts every day, and the strategy of FIS, Fiserv and Jack Henry seems to have become "give away" Internet banking and mobile in order to keep bill pay and other payments processing where their margins are huge. Now, they don't actually give it away for free, but they are willing to do deep discounts to ice out the best of breed, third party Internet banking and mobile providers. Those third party providers have to partner with payments processors and their revenue share arrangements are not as lucrative as the core guys who own the processing network. Thus the pricing advantage of the cores.
This strategy has been successful in many banks under $1 billion and credit unions under $300 million where it can be harder to justify bigger spending for "great Internet banking and mobile systems" vs. "good Internet banking and mobile systems". Especially when Internet banking and mobile penetration remains very low.
That creates a pricing challenge for the best of breed vendors, and is in part what fuels their eventual sale to the cores. But the best of breed vendors' search for a stronger value proposition to justify the higher price is also what fuels our industry's innovation.
The improvements in Internet banking and mobile user experience, the move towards a single Internet banking platform for consumer, small business and commercial, the expanded security and functionality for commercial cash management, the ability to develop custom mobile apps, and the seamless integration between Internet banking and remote deposit capture have all been driven by best of breed vendors.
So let's hope all that venture capital money keeps funding these upstarts.
Meanwhile, I'd encourage three things:

Aviva Stadium wins Best International Project at the British Construction Industry Awards
The Challenge
Was the creation of the new international stadium for rugby and soccer at the site of the existing Lansdowne Road Stadium, Dublin, worthy of the history attached to the oldest international rugby ground in the world. The design includes the required 50,000 seating capacity and all the facilities expected in a modern stadium, and all within the existing restricted footprint.
The Building
From a fully site responsive design solution, keeping its height at its lowest closest to the adjacent two storey houses. The site is bounded by residences and the Dodder River, and is bisected by the main Dublin to Wexford railway line. Crowd management within a residential street network, that includes a railway crossing, riverbank walkways as well as bridges over the river resulted in the inclusion of a tunnel underpass to enable the level-crossing to remain closed during events, a new passenger concourse for the railway station, upgrading of the river bank to allow safer access and to provide flood defenses, as well as the demolition of one house to create wider access to the stadium.
The Details
The use of a transparent shingled skin enables the organic form to wrap around the concourses, seating tiers and the pitch. The enclosure creates a highly atmospheric seating bowl, so ensuring the continuation of the "Lansdowne Roar", and the stadium's curvilinear form is now instantly recognisable on Dublin's skyline as Ireland's international stadium.

im considering moving to portland and renting what neighborhoods should i avoid?
Nearly all areas of Portland are safe, especially during the day. The city is filled with many unique neighborhoods, with most of the nicer areas closer to downtown. Northeast Portland is perhaps the least desirable section of the city and many locals avoid crossing above 82nd Street during nightfall. Southwest and Northwest Portland are known for their charm and beauty, but these areas do tend to be on the pricier side. Eastmoreland is also a nice neighborhood, as well as the casual and artsy Inner Southeast vicinity.
What kinds of outdoor activities do people enjoy in Portland?
Not only does Portland have many parks and outdoor recreational areas within city limits, but it also is not very far from such places as the Columbia River, the southern chain of the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, all of which are prime locations to enjoy the outdoors. There are at least 4 National Parks within 50 miles, including the Deschutes and Snoqualmie National Forests. Portland residents enjoy golfing, mountain biking, skiing, ice climbing, hiking, fishing and wind surfing at different times of the year. Many people move to Portland because of the plentiful outdoor activities and easy access to the wilderness.

The power of the people and the power of reason are one.(Georg Büchner (1813-1837), German dramatist, revolutionary. Trans. by Gerhard P. Knapp (1995). Danton's Death, act III (1835).)More quotations from: Georg Büchner, power, people
I hope our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us, that the less we use our power the greater it will be.(Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), U.S. president. Letter, June 12, 1815.)More quotations from: Thomas Jefferson, power, hope
'Tis a sort of duty to be rich, that it may be in one's power to do good, riches being another word for power.(Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689-1762), British society figure, letter writer. letter, c. Sept. 24, 1714, to her husband. Selected Letters, ed. Robert Halsband (1970).)More quotations from: Lady Montagu, Mary Wortley, power

Letter, April 3, 1887, to Bishop Mandell Creighton. The Life and Letters of Mandell Creighton, vol. 1, ch. 13, ed. Louise Creighton (1904). William Pitt the Elder had made a similar observation, in a speech to the House of Lords, Jan. 9, 1770: "Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it." In the present century, the economist J.W. Galbraith wrote, "In the United States, though power corrupts, the expectation of power paralyzes." ("The United States," published in New York Nov. 15, 1971, repr. In A View from the Stands, 1986).)More quotations from: 1st Baron Acton, John Emerich Edward Dalberg, power
Success goes thus invariably with a certain plus or positive power: an ounce of power must balance an ounce of weight.(Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), U.S. essayist, poet, philosopher. "Power," The Conduct of Life (1860).)More quotations from: Ralph Waldo Emerson, power, success
Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.(Adrienne Rich (b. 1929), U.S. poet, essayist, and feminist. The Work of a Common Woman, by Judy Grahn, introductory essay (1978).)More quotations from: Adrienne Rich, power, poetry
Futility of youth power is a severe crime.(Youth needs immediate engagement for a productive job after relinquishing study.)More quotations from: ramesh rai

Dining With Frank Lloyd Wright
No trip to Nakoma complete without enjoying a bit of high-altitude California cuisine while admiring the architectural mastery of the Frank Lloyd Wright designed clubhouse in the majestic Wigwam room.
Frank Lloyd Wright conceived the architectural concept for the Nakoma Clubhouse in 1923. At age 57, Wright designed the 23,000 square-foot clubhouse at the request of the Nakoma Country Club in Madison, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin State Journal called the Wright clubhouse "the most unique building of its kind in America." The newspapers account was hardly an exaggeration. Wright's design was a tour de force with its geometric roofline composed of teepee like towers of wood and copper rising from walls clad in stone, his characteristically low-ceilinged entrances and passageways that led to soaring spaces including the 60 foot-high "Wigwam Room" with its towering, four-sided central fireplace.
