Senator Al Franken is introducing legislation to make courthouses more secure. The Minnesota Democrat says the Local Courthouse Safety Act would provide courts with access to security training and give states authority to use existing grant money to improve security. The legislation comes in the wake of a shooting in northern Minnesota's Cook County courthouse. That shooting left two people injured with multiple gunshot wounds. The bill is co-sponsored by fellow Minnesota Democrat Senator Amy Klobuchar as well as Republican Senator John Boozman of Arkansas. Boozman's state also experienced a courthouse shooting in recent months. He says eliminating red tape will give local courts access to equipment like metal detectors. State officials estimate that most rural courthouses in Minnesota have no metal detectors. At least one judge has voiced safety concerns as well.

As a college student, you probably donate a large portion of your money to the local pizza chain, especially since it's an easy vegetarian option when you don't feel like cooking. Making your own pizza allows you to be a bit more creative and is way cheaper. This is a perfect version in my book, because you don't have to wait for the crust to rise. Try some soy pepperoni and see if your nonveggie friends notice the difference, or just stick to vegetables.

Serves: 10
Yields: 2 (8 by 14-inch) pizzas
Cook Time: 20 min
Oven Temp: 375
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 5 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoon(s) sugar
- 2 package(s) (1/4-ounce) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon(s) salt
- 2 cup(s) warm water, about 105 degrees to 115 degrees F
- 1/4 cup(s) (6-inch) canola oil
- 3 clove(s) garlic
- 1 teaspoon(s) Italian seasoning
- 1 can(s) (15-ounce) tomato sauce
- 4 cup(s) topping ingredients, optional
- 4 cup(s) mozzarella cheese, grated
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Stir together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the water and oil. Stir until completely combined. Coat your hands in flour to prevent sticking and spread half of the dough into an 8 by 14-inch rectangle in the center of each of 2 large ungreased baking sheets.
- Peel and finely chop the garlic or pass it through a garlic press. Stir the garlic and Italian seasoning into the can of tomato sauce. Spread half of the sauce onto each crust. Spread the topping ingredients over the sauce and sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Tips & Techniques
Pineapple, olives, peppers, mushrooms, spinach everyone has his or her favorite pizza toppings. Most are pretty self-explanatory, but any vegetables should be cleaned before you use them. They should also be chopped fairly thin so that they cook all the way through by the time the rest of the pizza is ready. Make Hawaiian-style pizza with diced pineapple and soy ham or try a more authentic Italian pizza with ricotta cheese, spinach, fresh basil, and tomato.

PA Setup Help
Hey everyone new to the forum and I need a little help.
My church is having an outreach at a park and were expecting 1000-2000 people. We are having a couple of rock style bands perform and Im trying to put together an adequate PA system for the event. We will be using a Presonus studiolive 16.4.2 mixer, Behringer cx3400 2/3/4 way crossover, 3 Mackie Fr2500 amps running 4 JBL Jrx dual 15'' speakers and 2 JBL jrx 18" subs. We also have 2 JBL Prx powered 15" speakers rated at 1500 watts and 1 JBL prx 15" powered sub rated at 1500 watts. I was wondering if I should run this all as a 2 or 3 way system? Im looking for the best possible sound and I realize I might not have enough total power to accommodate all the people but just looking to get the most out of what we have. One thing to consider is the mixer has 4 outputs and 1 mono output and all 5 can be used at the same time. Thanks for any help |

You can have good sound, although not bone crushing .... but it's a Church, Family type event,so we don't need Metal Monsters festival pressure levels. In fact and to be realistic, most people will expect SPL similar to what they get in Church, that's what they are used to. 2000 people in a park? Ok, most will be Families, perhaps 20% will be Rockers. You have 2 different kind people mixed there, with different needs. All of them , will need to hear voice (preaching, prayer guidance, bingo/lottery prizes, general announcements, etc.) and "background music". Some of them (20% ? 40% ?) will want Rock SPL and will get close to the stage. The point is, you do not need Rock levels all over the park. So I'd set a main system at the stage, and add some reinforcement some 50 yards from the stage, to help people who for any reason didn't get close. If you have those power amps and nothing else, you don't have many independent amps for biamping. Besides you'd need quite smaller ones for the HF side, so given what you have, I'd run the system as full range with help from subwoofers. I'd use: > 2 Mackies (4 750W/4ohms available) to run the 4 JRX215 , 2 per side, full range. Set your limiters sensibly so as to never clip them, first for clean sound and to avoid burning horns. For better or for worse, this is your "main" sound source. > 1 Mackie to drive both JRK118 SW. We have a potential problem here, the Mackies are 750W/4 ohms and the Subs are 350W RMS , also 4 ohms. There is a very distinct possibility of blowing them unless you are very careful. Specially outdoors where "bass is never enough" If you have limiters which can be set so the Mackies stop at around 350/400W .... fine. If not, I'd play it very safe and use them in series to get 8 ohms) into just 1 Mackie channel. > use the 15"powered subwoofer to reinforce the main stage system. You might put the 2 passive ones on one side and the active one on the other. You will have good, although not bone crushing sound in front of the stage. > the two powered JRH15" speakers. Depending on the park size , more precisely the people distribution, you may either add them to the main stage system, perhaps more "open" , say some 10 yards to the sides , 5 yards forward to "spread " the sound source , cover more peple nearby, and let the sound reach naturally the rest of the park, at reduced level or , if people is spread all over the park far from the stage, you might spread them further, on poles or hanging from trees, to improve long distance sound. The final decisions are yours, depending on meeting size and distribution. Last edited by JMFahey; 13th September 2014 at 06:30 PM. |

To report colleague for racism?
(194 Posts)I just think she is incredibly thick but am finding it harder and harder to deal with her little gems lately.
Yesterday TB and whooping cough are apparently at epidemic proportions because of foreigners coming into this country.
She quite happily says, although lowers her voice a little (WTF) that her husband refuses to eat garlic as he couldn't stand the thought of smelling like a Paki!!!
I am in an office with her and one other woman who occasionally has a rant about foreigners taking jobs but am just about at the end of my rope with it. Ate these people just thick or I don't know, how can they think this is right?
I nearly said I felt sorry for her being married to a racist wanker but in all other respects she is actually a nice lady.
I can't ignore this can I?
You could always try reasoning with her politely. For example, if she mouths off about TB you could point out that the British wiped out whole populations when they colonised other countries by introducing diseases such as measles and syphilis that the natives had no immunity to.
'I did speak to someone who has advised me what to do next time it happens.'
Did they explain why the policy doesn't apply this time, and what is different about next time?
"I travelled with a group of Asian 10-year olds from the all-Asian Farnham Primary School in Great Horton as they visited their white counterparts at the largely white St Anthony's Catholic school. For most of them, it was their third trip. "What was it like the first time you visited St Anthony's?" I asked one child.
"I was nervous," he said.
"Why were you nervous?"
"Because I didn't know what they'd be like. I'd never met them before."
"You'd never met white children before?"
"Do you know any white children apart from those at St Anthony's?"
Could this really be Britain, 2003?"
It is when people meet each other and see that they are all the same that the divide and rule strategies from the top against the French or anyone else will fail. When the idiots at work meet French people and when they go to France, then they will realise that the media and some of the Oxbridge set have been misleading them.
I think you are Polish if I remember rightly. I hope you remember on the thread about the Euros in Poland and Ukraine how I stood up for the Poles and Ukrainians against our BBC state media bullshit propaganda programme where they tried to scare the public that people black people risked being killed if they went to Poland and Ukraine to watch the football. They smeared the entire nation of Poland and Ukraine and I explained why they did it and why they did the same to the entire nation of Spain when they were competing with them to win the Olympics.
This crap comes from the top. Their views influence the ordinary people who have never been to France, Poland or the Ukraine.
Thanks Cat. I think there is not much chance of this in our organisation. People would be shocked and disgusted with her. We even have a section at the end of meetings where a diversity and equality monitor asks if anyone has been offended during the meeting. Someone made a joke about an autistic accountant and that was brought up so the word paki would be really be taken seriously.
And do you know what, I am like you and would rather not work there if this sort of crap is tolerated.
Sorry to hear about your experience though. Bloody awful situation.
I did speak to someone who has advised me what to do next time it happens. And pointed out that we have a policy where obvious racism has to be reported. Not sure if this is obvious or she just really stupid but either way needs to stop.
OP - please think carefully before you do anything
I never thought I'd type those words, unitl my own experience last year, which I posted about on MN extensively.
I worked in a further education college as a subject tutor. My line manager casually used words like chink and paki in relation to students.
None of us were brave enough to say anything to her face as she was a bit of a cow anyway so I had a quiet work with our 'Equality and Diversity representative'. Next thing I knew I was dragged up to HR to give a statement. Four days later I received a letter in the post from HR saying I was being investigated for bullying and negative behaviour in the workplace. My boss had got her two friends to put in false complaints about me. My boss was investigated and got a slap on the wrist. I was investigated and it escalated all the way up to the principle. They pulled apart every aspect of my work and my relationships with colleagues. And every level it went up in the system, they all just closed ranks and protected each other. I had the Union involved from day 1, but it was no use as everything was twisted to make sure I looked terrible.
I was eventually sacked for gross misconduct.
But you know what? I would do it all again tomorrow. I've now left education as the corruption and the fact they were prepared to turn a blind eye to casual racism has disillusioned and left a very bitter taste in my mouth.
UKIP gained 25% of the vote in local elections recently. New Labour have admitted that they were wrong to try and stifle open, honest debate on immigration.
Stalinist suppression, restraints on free and open discussion and burying heads in the sand will not work and the consequences if those policies are carried out will be far worse. And unfortunately, i don't think that diversity training will solve it either, I think it may even make it worse.
"Ever heard of Bonhoeffer?"
Yes, I have heard of him.
Have you ever heard of Kenan Malik?
He is anti-racist just like me, and here is one of his Guardian articles.
But I do stand up for those who are at the receiving end and I do it by using reason and trying to change people's minds.
There have been numerous times when I have tried to change people's attitudes. At work, it has been very common for me to have heard anti-French sentiments for example. Now I love france and I have lived there, so I have tried to correct their misconceptions of France and the French.
Colleagues have said that they hate or dislike the French, that the French cheat us on the EU as usual etc etc
I simply say "do you know any French people? Have you met any French people? Have you ever been to France?" and of course teh answer to all 3 is no.
So where do they get these opinions about France as opposed to Austria, for example. They get them from our media, our culture and from teh top. they only have to watch their idols and their "comedians" on our state TV channels and in programmes like "Have i Got News For You?" where they can hear the Oxbridge set making jokes about how the french have stitched uus up again or "that's the French for you etc".
I am against all this crap by ignorant people who haven't got a clue about France or many other places either.
I have challenged people and in my early days I would get angry with them as I defended the French, but my experience taught me that that does not work and their views only become more entrenched.
I am for defeating ignorance and racism and I believe that is best done by using a subtle approach rather than punishing people for their views and forcing them to keep them secret, which only breeds a latent resentment that will return one day in a much worse form.
"It exists alright, but it won't get me because I do not tell others to ODFO or speak ill of them behind their backs. I do not harbour bitter feelings and do not wish ill on anyone and do not wish that karma will bite them."
And you don't speak up for or stand by those who are at the receiving end of racism and xenophobia, as you value no ill feeling from the racists and the xenophobes more.
"I follow the threefold law, "do unto others as you would have done unto you"."
I don't call it threefold law, but basic human decency. And part of this "doing onto others" is defending them against racists, xenophobes and other unpleasant bigots instead of not doing anything at all, which is what you advocate.
Ever heard of Bonhoeffer?
"Outa here!"
Goodbye and have a nice day.
It exists alright, but it won't get me because I do not tell others to ODFO or speak ill of them behind their backs. I do not harbour bitter feelings and do not wish ill on anyone and do not wish that karma will bite them.
I follow the threefold law, "do unto others as you would have done unto you".
It's okay Claig, if Karma does exist then you'll get your little bite on the arse won't you.
Outa here!
You have misunderstood what we are talking about.
I am against racism and I don't back down to it or to bullies who tell me to ODFO because they have no argument, and who change the subject and bring in the fact that the National Front have attacked them, which is nothing to do what we are talking about.
No, we're talking about the fact that people continue to call you on what is basically a racist apologist attitude and you have not backed down and refuse to see where you're going wrong. So in fact, we are talking about that, aren't we Claig.
"Do not speak ill of others", try not to say ODFO, because karma really exists
'I pointed out that I've been beaten up because of the colour of my sking and that my 16 year old gets racist remarks and still you go on about Karma.'
And I said that was wrong and those people should be punished. We are not talking about that, DawnDonna.
'Weirdly your Karma woo seems to only hit people who object to racism and xenophobia.'
No it doesn't. Karma affects everybody on the planet. No one can escape however rich and seemingly powerful that they are, for the high can be brought low if they transgress the universal law. The threefold law has no boundaries and has no favourites. Gordon Brown and the powerful are subject to it in the same way as the ordinary person.
Do not speak ill of people, do not make nasty comments about them, do not be racist towards them, do not speak ill of them behind their backs, do not be a hypocrite.
"Do not speak ill of others", "do unto others as you would have done unto you" is a universal law.
ODFO Claig
You've worked with the whole fucking world, you've learnt to speak bullshit fluently and still you peddle views that are essentially racist. I pointed out that I've been beaten up because of the colour of my sking and that my 16 year old gets racist remarks and still you go on about Karma. You say that when people have real experience they can comment. Well, I'm 54, I have real experience and I have the various degrees you remark upon. I still say from factory floor to boardroom a racist remark is a racist remark, it's illegal and should therefore be reported. Now go peddle your crackpot karma elsewhere.
Weirdly your Karma woo seems to only hit people who object to racism and xenophobia.
Gordon brown broke the three fold law and he then got what for, and now he knows the score. Don't mess with karma because it is a chameleon and comes back in many guises and strips you of your power and prizes.
Gordon Brown called Mrs Duffy a good woman and shook her hand on camera. He was getting down with the people, he had stepped out of his ivory tower. But then behind her back, he spoke ill of her and called her a bigoted woman.
Then the law of karma had its way, and his actions were revealed and he had to apologise.
I stick by the law of karma and the wise pagan "law of three", known as the threefold way, "don't speak ill of others", "don't do unto others what you would not have done unto you", don't report others, otherwise the fates wil intervene and karma will come to you.
And your boss happened to disagree with the levels of immigration, and you wanted to report her. But New Labour now say that people can disagree with the levels of immigration, and Gordon Brown apologised to Mrs Duffy for saying, behind her back after having shaken her hand, that she was a "bigoted" woman because she questioned immigration.
They have started to get real and that is right
'claig A lot of people don't want to be friends with a racist, simple as that.'
You are kidding yourself. People have been friends with people for years and now they are seeing on facebook that they are making racist comments that shock them. These people have not changed, they are the same people that they were before, except they hid their views. Now they think they can make them public, because they believe there is safety in numbers and that lots of others feel the same. Most of those people will still remain friends with them. I haven't ended my friendship with colleagues at work because they said something racist, because they are decent people in many other ways, even though they hold some views I disagree with. That is reality.
"And you keep contradicting yourself, as you say people should not be challenged other than by saying "but someone I know is an immigrant", nor reported, and now those who don't want to hear/read racist or other shit should not defriend them either."
I never said people should not be challenged. I am against people being reported, because I think that is counterproductive and will build up a hidden resentment that will one day resurface in a worse form by the law of karma. I think you should have challenged your boss and said you felt uncomfortable rather than keeping silent and regretting that you did not report her. I believe in engaging with people openly and trying to change their minds, not in reporting them and punishing them, because I think the former is teh more effective way of effecting change.
'and now those who don't want to hear/read racist or other shit should not defriend them either.'
I believe in freedom of people to do what they want. If they want to defriend them, that is fine by me. I believe everyone is a free agent and has responsibility for their own actions. I don't believe that others are complicit for the actions of what other people do. But I don't think that defriending people is an effective way to change their ex-friends attitudes. I think it is better to engage with them and change their opinions, but not in a confrontational, accustaory, blaming mannner but in a subtle manner that makes them realise how similar people are and close they really are such as saying "my sister's boyfriend is an immigrant", that brings it close to them, brings it home to them and makes them realise how ridiculous they are better than telling them off and punishing them.
"I also don't understand this banging on about how you know foreigners who are racists or xenophobes, too.
Just because you get them everywhere on the planet, it doesn't make it right."
It is not about "making it right", it is about "getting real".
It is not right that New Labour created an environment when people's concerns about immigration could not be openly discussed and addressed without accusations of immigration, and New Labour have now realised that and apologised about that and said that they are starting to get real
It is about getting real and facing reality and changing minds rather than what you may think is right
claig A lot of people don't want to be friends with a racist, simple as that. People are entitled to have opinions, but that doesn't mean that their entitled to never be challenged, or ostracised for that matter. If someone sullies my timeline with a post from an EDL site, they're gone.
And you keep contradicting yourself, as you say people should not be challenged other than by saying "but someone I know is an immigrant", nor reported, and now those who don't want to hear/read racist or other shit should not defriend them either.
I also don't understand this banging on about how you know foreigners who are racists or xenophobes, too.
Just because you get them everywhere on the planet, it doesn't make it right.
There have probably been so many reports of these people to facebook that they are snowed under, but reporting will achieve little to change minds.
People on here are defriending people on facebook by the dozens, defriending relatives and family members and friends of friends because they are shocked by their views that have recently been revealed. They are hiding them, blanking them and defriending them.
But that won't change anything. It is no use hiding and reporting to facebook. People need to engage with these people and change their minds, not blank them or sack them.

Uncommon Thievery: Lineup effects
Updated: May 30, 2007, 6:47 PM ET
Brian McKitish | Special to ESPN.com
With our favorite power/speed threat, Hanley Ramirez, now hitting third in the Florida lineup, it's time to examine the effects the batting order may have on the stolen base. The popular myth that has permeated fantasy sports over the last few years is that a player will steal fewer bases if they are hitting in the middle of the lineup as opposed to the top. The theory seems well-substantiated; take a look at the 2006 breakdown of average number of stolen bases by batting order:

^^^ If you don't have one of the TRD packages (Off-Road or Sport) then you most likely have the 16x7 steelies the SR5 packages came with. As for 16x8's fitting - that depends on many variables, but this is an information thread for stock wheels, not for aftermarket fitment. There are many other threads out there talking about aftermarket wheel fitment.
That being said. Any and all additional information would be greatly appreciated!

LoL VS Dota2
Right so by surprise today I received an e-mail regarding a dota2 invitation so I got up and downloaded it straight away.
As I've played like 3 games so far just bots because its hella different to LoL and I've never played Dota (1) I couldn't imagine going vs real people straight away. My conclusion is that the skills are alot more creative. It's not the standard leap/aoe/stun/fear **** it goes alot deeper and I love it. Now as this is in the discussion forum I really wanna hear your thoughts, not like Dota2 is alot better then LoL or the other way around as they are 2 different games really. And one shouldn't compare to one another. What i've noticed is a guy with 3 basic abilities which activate spheres around him giving him extra stats, he can have 3 active spheres at a given time but he may mix them or have 3 of the same kind as the stats do stack. He's ultimate however creates a new active abilitie depending on what spheres he has activated let me explain: He's Q sphere gives him healthregen. He's W sphere give him attk speed + mov speed and he's E sphere gives him attk damage. When he has one of each sphere activated and activates he's ulti he created a massive wave which knocksback and stuns. This is one example but because you can mix them up you can make I think 9 different abilities which is awesome imo. Theres also a support character like Karma, but better imo because she has a ult that teleports herself and an ally to a destination on a map for 15 secs if they dont die while they are there after the 15 secs she gets teleported back to the location where she cast it. Another awesome abilitie. I'm just saying, LoL should get a bit more creative regarding mechanics and stuff.. They should look at Dota2 and think yeah we could do something similar. Sorry for bad english grammar you can be a Nazi but that's not the point of this discussion thread, Also I love League of Legends all I was trying to say was that I find most champion released recently all have mechanics that already exist in-game. |
Don't compare these games...
You are just gonna start a war between fanboys |
Invoker so stronk if you know what you're doing
downvoting dota player
The guy that originally MADE Invoker works for Riot (Guinsoo). He's posted about him on these forums before, essentially saying that Invoker is a terrible design, because he is complexity for the sake of complexity, and that Riot won't make anything like it. You may be able to find the posts if you look. |
Guinsoo hates invoker because he thinks its needlessly complex could LoL do something like invoker, yes I mean they have the man that made him on staff, they just dont want to have needlessly complex characters in their game( though they fail sometimes *cough* Syndra *Cough*) Edit Shened :/ |
Theyre two completely separate games. League is actually more balanced, regardless of what people say. This is coming from and X hon / dota and current dota 2 player. Where dota 2 has more emphasis on you being able to carry yourself with 4 other people who just play a roll on your team, league emphasizes team play and map control... you will grasp some concepts of league better then dota, and the other way around.
And to be honest whichever concepts you actually understand will probably determine what game you like more. For example, in every game you have 1 dude in the jungle fighting creeps in lala land, meanwhile attempts to gank top with X person every 5 minutes, youre meant for Dota. The AD carry farming bot while everyone else is going after dragon, youre meant for Dota. The 3 other people attempting to put preasure on read buff because they know its spawn timer is almost up, youre meant for League. Its not that hard to figure out. |
I think the characters are much for creaative in league of legends. A little girl with a demon teddy bear? A ghost horse that deals more damage with movement speed?
Did you really make another thread and copy pasted your last one?

this restaurant was a big surprise for us, we went in not quite knowing what to expect and found it to be a really enjoyable meal. There were some nice touches such as a little stand on our table with the Irish flag, everyone was asked on their way in where they were from and the flags were put on their table.
The food was really good, my husband and I both had the fillet mignon - it came out cooked as we'd ordered, the portion sizes were quite big - we really couldn't manage it all!!
The menu is quite diverse including some Australian specialities - Kangaroo Mignon, camel Mignon, emu, crocodile vol-au-vent.
All in all it was a very pleasant meal and not terribly expensive, cheapest main being around au$ 18 and the most expensive $65
I would really recommend this Restaurant to anyone visiting Alice Springs!!! Good tip? (0) A definite activity you must do while here is climbing Ayer's Rock , or "Uluru" at the heart of the red center. It's a three mile hike up the smooth surface of the largest rock in the world, with stakes and chains if you need help. Once you're at the top, there's a large compass with the names of the different regions of Australia labeled in each direction. Great photo opportunities.
For those who have difficulty climbing, the 1/2 day walk around the base of the rock is quite stunning with lagoons and waterfalls, not to mention the local aboriginals. Good tip? (0) I wouldn't choose to spend a lot of time in Alice Springs! I spend 2 days there and it wasn't a city for me... I used the city as a starting point for going to Uluru..
But if you find yourself stuck there go see the Baby kangaroo resque center! The Joey's are worth it and please donate money to help the center continue their work! Good tip? (0) Recent Updates for Alice Springs

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
If you've got a shutterbug in your house, then you should also have a copy of "Camera Creative: Professional Photography Techniques for Innovative Images." This collection of 52 ways to help a user become more creative, beyond adding fancy and expensive hardware, is a gem, packed with ideas for virtually every occasion, from photographing scenery to fashion model shots to editing techniques. Most of the ideas can be accomplished through use of ordinary photo equipment, but a tripod, but flash diffusers, filters and the occasional special lens are helpful for some. The book includes tips for making your own gear to avoid spending a lot of money. People who like photography often get caught up, understandably, in the mechanics of using the right lens, film speed, exposures, etc. What this book does is emphasize the breaking of standard photography rules to bring out the photographer's creativity. Some of the techniques presented by Chris Gatcum, who is a professional photographer and managing editor of Ilex Press, include: Bokeh: this is a technique involving the deliberate blurring of part of the shot to emphasize something else in the picture. You've seen this in photos: to sharpen the focus on, say, a child in the forefront, the background hills or buildings or whatever are deliberately blurred, although still viewable in the depth of field. Water-droplet reflections: this doesn't require special equipment as much as patience, lots of it but with fantastic results. Holga hacks: this involves using the cheap "toy" Holga camera, or one of its clones, and altering it to extend the focus, change the aperture, prevent light leaks and reduce camera shake. Holga cameras can be used for panoramas, long exposures and, because nothing connects the shutter to the film advance, multiple exposures are easy, deliberately or not. Star trails: this involves capturing the movement of stars at night through long exposures and requires the use of a tripod and avoiding too much exposure to other lights.Through the Viewfinder: Combining the use of a twin lens reflex camera with a modern, usually digital, device, to photograph what appears on the first camera with the second. That means picking up all the warts from the first camera's viewfinder. There is advice on focusing flash, equipment needed for extreme closeups of faces, tilt lenses and working with multiple formats to produce the look you want, creating wall art, digital cyanotypes and inkjet transfers. The book emphasizes the value of a good tripod, since many techniques require lengthy or very careful exposures. Each idea gets a thorough, step-by-step explanation, a difficulty rating and is accompanied by photos illustrating the completed technique, all presented in a friendly and conversational tone. But more than anything else, "Camera Creative" will open people's eyes to the possibilities of great photos beyond the standard techniques. Photographers may not want to use all these techniques but they'll certainly enjoy seeing what can be accomplished with a little imagination.

Blane Mullinax isn't interested in joining the ranks of pickup manufacturers who hand-wind spot-on recreations of yesteryear's pickups. Instead, he winds vintage-style pickups for players who want an entirely new sound. What's more, he winds only single-coils, believing that humbuckers muddy the waters of an instrument's musical potential and that a second coil isn't necessary to ensure quiet operation.
The following content is related to the May 2013 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now, or in our online store.
RainSong continues to expand its line of graphite guitars with its new Shorty models, the company's first guitars with short-scale necks that meet the body at the 12th fret. The Shorty models also have the smallest body shape of any RainSong guitar, making them the perfect choice for players who prefer Orchestra Model–style guitars.
Solidbody electric guitar makers in the mid Seventies became obsessed with the notion that greater mass equals increased sustain, resulting in multilaminate neck-through-body "hippie sandwich" instruments with brass hardware that tipped the scales at 12 pounds or more.
Looping pedals are great for rehearsing alone, working out solos over your rhythm parts and even composing. Onstage, they can make you a show-stopping one-man band, building complex loops that can impress your fans. But loopers can be fidgety to use, and the more features they pack in, the more difficult they are to use intuitively and on the fly.
Today we are checking out Full Contact Hardware bridges by Babicz. Full Contact: The name alone makes me think my Strat might check me into the wall as I make my way to the kitchen for my Cheerios. Babicz is a popular US guitar maker that also produces guitar and bass bridges.
Fender's Select Series guitars are designed for players who want instruments with more upscale materials and features than Fender's standard instruments but still retain that distinctive Fender vibe. Select Series appointments include figured tonewood bodies and necks, specially voiced pickups, resonant lacquer finishes, and lighter body weight to enhance dynamics and response.
The new pre-wired assemblies enhance your overall tone and playing experience.

Many transcription factors function by repressing gene transcription. For a variety of these transcription factors the ability to physically recruit auxiliary proteins, denoted corepressors, is crucial for the ability to silence gene expression. We and others have previously implicated the SMRT corepressor in the actions of the PLZF transcription factor and in the function of its oncogenic derivative, PLZF-retinoic acid receptor (RARalpha), in promyelocytic leukemia. We report here that PLZF, and a structurally similar transcriptional repressor, BCL-6, can interact with a variety of corepressor proteins in addition to SMRT, including the mSin3A protein and (for PLZF) histone deacetylase-1. Unexpectedly, these additional interactions with corepressor components are nonequivalent for these otherwise similar oncoproteins, suggesting that transcriptional repression by BCL-6 and by PLZF may differ in mechanism. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the oncogenic PLZF-RARalpha chimera lacks several important corepressor interaction sites that are present in the native PLZF protein. Thus the t(11;17) translocation that creates the PLZF-RARalpha chimera generates an oncoprotein with potentially novel regulatory properties distinct from those of either parental protein. Our results demonstrate that otherwise similar transcription factors can differ notably in their interactions with the corepressor machinery.

The good folks at Canadian Thermos Products Inc. wrote me recently. The company is unhappy about the way its famous container was referenced in a recent Spectator story and recipe about pork with hoisin sauce.
Here's the offending sentence: "Microwave pork for 1 to 2 minutes, then pack in a preheated Thermos with bread packed separately."
According to Thermos, "THERMOS was used grammatically as a noun, in a generic context. This is an incorrect use of the name ..."
"The trademark THERMOS must always appear in a capitalized form, and can be best further emphasized within quotation marks, or with the "R" symbol. Use of the THERMOS logo or a reference as Thermos Brand, are other alternatives to indicate the registered status."
Welcome to a world in which a product is the victim of its own success.
Editors everywhere have been getting letters like this for decades from lawyers for companies producing things such as Coke, Kleenex, Frisbee, Aspirin, Band-Aid, Scotch Tape and all manner of other products that have become so pervasive and dominant in the marketplace that people use the brand name generically.
Long ago, journalists learned to use cola, tissue, flying disk, pain pill, bandage and adhesive tape instead.
Some of these campaigns have been successful: My parents once used Xerox as a verb (and a noun), but I say photocopy. I once used Ski-Doo generically, but now most people say snowmobile or sled.
Indeed, part of the reason for letters like the one I received is so companies can demonstrate they are guarding against allowing their trade names to become generic.
Such is the case with items including nylon, linoleum, escalator — and indeed Thermos in the United States (but not Canada). Others that have become generic in the U.S. include yo-yo, corn flakes, zipper ...
Sometimes, though, generic descriptions just won't do. If you ask me, Scrabble is Scrabble. "Word game" just doesn't cover it. Ditto for Velcro. Hook-and-loop fastener — what's that? The generic term for Thermos? Vacuum flask.
Many style books recommend journalists only use brand names if they result in greater impact. "Her closet was wall-to-wall Manolo Blahnik" has a certain ring to it that "she had a lot of shoes" may not.
Meanwhile, Google isn't particularly happy with the way billions of people around the world say "I Googled it," but good luck trying to get people to replace that with: "I used a search engine to look it up."
As for letters like the one I received from Canadian Thermos Products Inc., we take them seriously, but not too seriously.
Acknowledging a company's proprietary interest in a trade name is important. It's the right thing to do, both as an education for readers and because it's fair to the company. But newspapers generally do that by using a capital letter to begin the word.
Putting the entire word in uppercase, as Scrabble (SCRABBLE) or Via Rail (VIA Rail), or Canadian Thermos Products Inc. would prefer, or putting the word "brand" or a circle-R behind everything is unlikely to happen.

- 3/4 cup(s) plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup(s) sherry vinegar
- 1 teaspoon(s) chopped thyme
- 6 cup(s) chicken stock

- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 cup(s) (about 10 ounces) farro
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/3 cup(s) chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a pie plate, toast the walnuts for 10 minutes, or until well browned. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. In a bowl, toss the shiitake with 1/4 cup of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the shiitake on the baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes, or until tender and browned around the edges.
- In a small bowl, cover the shallot with the sherry vinegar and let stand for 10 minutes. Add the thyme and whisk in 1/2 cup of the oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 cup of the chicken stock in a microwave oven. Add the porcini and let stand for 10 minutes. Remove the porcini and coarsely chop; pour the soaking liquid into a bowl, stopping before you reach the grit.
- In a saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderate heat until translucent, 6 minutes. Add the farro, porcini and their soaking liquid, the remaining 5 cups of stock and the bay leaf. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over moderately low heat until the farro is tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well; discard the bay leaf.
- Return the farro to the saucepan and toss with the walnuts, shiitake, sherry vinaigrette and parsley and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm or at room temperature.

Southtexas, your rebuttal is well written and obviously more in line with the "Our rights first, screw everything else attitude" of this forum as indicated by the +10, and so on. Not that I have anything against that. I believe my rights are first, up until they begin to infringe upon other's rights.(sometimes it probably goes a little further than "up until they begin". I probably push that line fairly often)
If I had worn that shirt to work today, I would have a good chance of getting fired or sent home to change.
It's not hypocritical to say that if 1 person wants to disrupt 30 that it is unacceptable.
I don't agree with most school's policies. I don't think it should be subjective and I have fought that fight, took my 3 days vacation, and lived on to fight another day. Do I think my shirt with a Malcom X and Rebel flag blurred together was a problem? Nope. Was it a distraction? Absolutely. I argued, they argued. They told me to turn my shirt inside out, I told them they can't make me do anything. Well, I was right. They couldn't make me do anything, but they definitely could suspend me for disrupting class, and they did. To tell you the truth, I enjoyed the 3 days off. Only 3 days I ever missed from school; from K-12.
Yes, life should have rules that are laid out plain and clear. But, that is not reality. Unless you are self-employed, people live and die, feed their family or not, based on subjective rules of conduct.
Do I like it? Nope. I would love to tell everybody around me, "This is me, take it or leave it." But that isn't possible. Life is full of subjective rules. Hardly anything is ever layed out perfectly clear. But to assume that an authority figure(the school in this case) owes it to anybody to make perfectly clear their rules and guidelines, in my opinion is ludicrous. (based on reality, not my ideal eutopian world)
Life isn't fair. We have a choice to make. Conform, pretend to conform, or go broke fighting for every cause. Somebody called me a hypocrite. They were right. I have very clear ideals, hence the signature. "Who is John Galt?"
I find myself forced to compromise. Success or ideals? Well, unfortunately, I am not independently wealthy, therefore I must cooperate with people whose ideals do not mirror mine.
I might even change my signature to: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."
In my opinion, a middle school or highschool student has not proven the 'wisdom to know the difference.'

I have had my razr maxx for about 6 months now. I loved it until ICS came along and changed everything. My latest issue is when starting a new text message and you touch enter recipient, I get a limited list of contacts. The 7 contacts that I can access are not synced google contacts but somehow got related to another email account that is mine but not setup on my phone. How do I fix this to get all my contacts available to me?
Not really what I needed most of my contacts are google contacs. The ones that I have access to when starting a new text message are synced to a yahoo acct that I have. How to I add them to google so I can access all of them and stop getting my yahoo contacts as default?
Was a solution found for this? I'm having the same one. To clarify: I go to the stock Text Message Aopp. Tap the + to create a new text. Begin typing a contact name in the Recepient's window, and I'm only provided with 5 total contact options of the 350 contacts I have. All my contacts are synched to my Google Account (except the 5 that show). None of the Google-synched contacts are offered as recepients. How do I change this? The only other option is People, long press Contact Name, Select Send Text. And I don't even know how to send a single text to multiple Contacts in this fashion (since I can't remember the contacts phone numbers and/or their saved contact name in some cases) Any ideas?
What do you have as your displayed contacts in your people app?? Do you have it set to display your phone contacts , Google contacts, yahoo contacts???
I've messed with that setting. I leave it to Display all contacts. I erased all my actual Backup Assistant (Phone) Contacts and imported them all from Google Contacts to create a nice, uniform list. But, like the other poster mentioned, I have 7 or so contacts that got imported from my work email when that got synced. They are the only contacts that show up when I type a name in the text recipient window. I then turned off Backup Assistant (Phone) Contacts, thinking I'd rely on Google for my backup storage. Do you think I need to turn that back on and sync contacts with that crappy Verizon backup service, or is there an alternative?
Try this... go into the people app ---> Contacts to display --->Click on customize ---->and then go through the different accounts and check off the boxes of the contacts you want displayed. Experiment, going back and forth through the customize menu and text to see if you get any better results. I have no idea if this will work but it is worth a shot. I don't use the backup assistant because I don't like it one tiny little bit and it has never been necessary but I really do not think you should need to turn it back on.
I've tried the method above and still no luck. Any other ideas why contacts synched from Google would not auto populate the recipients options when sending a text? Droid RAZR Max ICS.
Okay got it! I guess I did not mess with the Custom Contacts to Display enough. When I selected from the subgroups to display from the custom menu they showed up. Thanks for the help :c)
Awesome! Soemtimes it takes a bit to figure it out but usually, with the super team effort on this forum, we eventually find the solution! Happy for you that you can finally text hassle free! Yee ha!:icon_ banana:
Thank you, Thank you!!! I have been trying to figure this out since I got my phone in October 2012 - Took it to 3 Verizon Stores and nobody could figure it out - including a district manager. What I am now wondering is how come not all new users run into this problem? How do you even know that you have to customize each account for your preferred contacts????
Tis saves the day again!! And to think, the post is over 4 months old but it's still fixing peoples' issues! That's really cool! Way to go, TisMyDroid!! Sent from my A210 using Tapatalk HD

Birmingham 1-1 Arsenal
Birmingham substitute Kevin Phillips scored a stoppage-time equaliser as Arsenal's title challenge was blown off course in a bruising encounter.The match came alive after an hour when Blues defender Roger Johnson hit the post and Scott Dann missed the rebound. The Gunners took the lead in the 81st minute when Samir Nasri fired into the far corner from the edge of the area. But deep into added-time, a Bacary Sagna clearance struck Phillips and flew through Manuel Almunia's hands. Phillips r.... read more

Since the last patch, I've discovered, to my disappointment, that Shen's shadow dash no longer moves through terrain. However, the patch notes didn't even mention Shen. What gives?
Hello? Anybody?
It def still goes through terrain
I managed to fail it through the back of the double golems, which is way too thin to have been the problem... I also failed it in several other locations. I'm fairly certain it no longer works. Other champions don't seem to have this issue - I just got to play Tryndamere for the first time in ages(somebody picked Kass mid before our mid was up, lol), and his spin was moving through terrain as usual.
Hmm, something else occurs to me... I very recently picked up Graves, and his Quick draw doesn't move through terrain, either. Now, I never played him before, so I don't know if it used to do so, but as it's very similar to Shen's Shadow dash, I'm wondering now...
Junior Member
i have been going through terrain fine with Shen I have no issues with that wall dragon baron or river bushes and graves can only go certain places like down dragon but not UP dragon its werid but other than that i've bee fine
They did thicken some of the walls in the last patch, or in one of the last few patches, so there is terrain that you cant move through with some people
Hmm, I wonder if that's it. That's a shame, since now I'll have to re-learn where I can move with Shen. However, as mentioned, I failed a dash through the back of double golems, which really shouldn't be too thick. Maybe that was just a fluke?
Were you playing on SR or TT? Many of the walls in TT were made thicker so you cant go through them.
Never played TT in my life, and only one game of CS. Always SR for me.

Gwen Stefani and Zuma Rossdale Head to London | Pictures
Gwen Stefani and Zuma Arrive For a Stay in London
Gwen Stefani took off from LAX with her son Zuma Rossdale last night. The duo arrived in London this morning, and made their way from Heathrow to their home in the city. Gwen and Zuma typically spend a month in the Fall at the UK home base, along with dad Gavin Rossdale and Zuma's older brother, Kingston. Before leaving, though, Gwen made sure to cast an early vote in the presidential election. She also celebrated Gavin Rossdale's 47th birthday yesterday, and tweeted a special message to him. She wrote, "Happy b-day Gavin Rossdale — kisses!"
Gwen will have to be back in the US by the end of November, though, since she's got a string of West Coast tour dates planned with No Doubt. Their first show is planned for Nov. 24 at LA's Gibson Amphitheatre. There has been talk of a European tour for Gwen and her bandmates, and if that proves true, it's likely Gwen will make the trek to the UK once again.

STATEMENT: Neera Tanden on the New York State Senate Approving PreK for New York City
Contact: Katie Peters
Phone: 202.741.6285
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Washington, D.C. — Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden released the following statement reacting to the news that the New York State Senate approved $540 million per year for the next five years to fund free full-day prekindergarten and after-school programs in New York City:
We are now one giant step closer to ensuring access to preschool for all children in the nation's largest school district. This is a smart investment in our future that will reap benefits in the long run. Children who attend high-quality preschool programs enter school with the skills they need to succeed and are less likely to need remedial education and more likely to graduate from high school. New York has shown the country that when Republicans and Democrats work together, we can achieve great outcomes for children and families. Mayor Bill de Blasio deserves tremendous credit for getting the debate to this point, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo and leaders from both parties can help deliver real results for New York's children. Congress can follow New York's example and pass the Strong Start for America's Children Act to expand preschool access for children across the country.

In my last journal, I said that a certain teenage celebrity offending heavy metal, calling it a dark form of music that drives its fans towards "sin" and "anger'.
I originally found this here: www.facebook.com/notes/y-en-el… but it's in Spanish. With the help of Google Translator, I shall do my best to translate it into English. I couldn't find the original letter anywhere else.
I'm warning you now, the translation may be a bit difficult to understand.
Here's that kid's letter:
"I wrote this letter to everyone who has unleashed a torrent of abuse towards me that has become increasingly strained, reaching the physical point during one of my last concerts. Leaving aside what may be an isolated incident (the impact with the bottle that I received), I will focus on young people using the Internet to express their aversion to my music and my person, which I can no longer tolerate.
The people to whom I refer are followers of a style of music they call heavy metal. These adolescents are violent, express themselves poorly and live their lives as a punishment, something bad. I just want to spread the world of music with my happiness and they try to cloud my work with their mournful thoughts. I never disrespected them. I have never mentioned them until now, because I, like any human being, have a limit of what I can tolerate and what I can't.
I have discovered that many people of this nefarious group are willing to have YouTube delete my videos. At learning this, I felt very bad. And bad for you, whose desire is to restrict the freedom of expression of an artist, which I am. Is it good to suppress what you dislike? Your Machiavellian plan will not succeed, Youtube will not delete a runaway success that is good fun, like my songs.
Moreover, I inform you that although I have nothing against you except for how you have hurt me, I profusely reject metal. Why? Because the music is dark, violent, and dull and encourages young people to walk the path of sin and become increasingly enclosed in a melancholy reverie, melodramatic and pointless. I will not lie, I heard metal bands and have rejected them.
To give an example, I will mention Metallica. The singer, Hetfield, is mediocre and shouts excessively, completely lacking the melody with which I was born. And the guitarist only makes noise. Where is the music, then? Another band that I've also heard is Megadeth. I thought it was different, but I was wrong. The singer uses a vocal style that I dislike, like something that makes me feel like crying. And the other musicians in the band... I'd rather not give an opinion.
But beware, this is not aggression; it is a constructive criticism based on the many years of vocal training I've had, thanks to which I have become what I am. In short, live and let live. Coexist. Support diversity. If you respect me, I will respect you.
Your friend, Justin"
NOTE: This is a translation, so they might not be his exact words.
Here is Jame's Hetfield's reply (also translated).
"I have seen the need to respond to the insults received yesterday from Justin Bieber, since his words have hurt my pride for referring to my art and my music negatively. The truth is, I felt really bad last night when I learned this because with all my years in music, I don't know what to do. I honestly do not know that all my years in this career have been disqualified by inexperienced people moving masses in a way that does not please me.
Technically, I could have taken legal action. But I choose not to, due to the boy's age... I will not torment him with a legal procedure. My sources have informed me that [Dave] Mustaine [from Megadeth], who is in his own right, has decided to take legal action but I doubt he will continue. We know that Dave is temperamental, but he has a good heart and this boy knows not what he says.
I'm not criticizing my colleague for going as low as him, but the only thing I do wanna say is [for Bieber to] have respect, which is what he lacks. He should learn that a momentary and transitory success does not rewrite the history of music. I also want to say that he has a huge future ahead and should use discretion. Not for him to impose the market.[?]
What struck me, of course, is your criticism of my public, to whom I owe everything because they made me who I am. They helped me achieve the transformation from being a nobody to being James Hetfield from Metallica. You cannot classify them as depressed, melodramatic, and dark. By doing that, you are trying to say that our style of music influences them to feel hatred. In the end, you're completely disqualifying our [musical] style.
But I know you have not said that with the intention of starting a fight. I think those were not your words, but the words of the people who give you work.
In regards to your accident with the person who threw the bottle, I completely reject this behavior because it is a symbol of ignorance and total disrespect for the person who is on stage, giving everything to entertain the public and even give a bit of joy that illuminates their lives.
The letter is short because I saw the need to respond, but I have time to spend on better things, like spending it with my family.
I hope this war of words has been ended now. I send you warm greetings and welcome you to visit the band on our upcoming concerts. I hope nobody is offended by this, and if so, it was not my intention.
With Love. James"
Keep in mind, these may not be Hetfield's exact words. They were translated from Spanish.


text: quote:I wish I knew. I really wanted to stick with it but just got bored and tired of it. I couldn't handle any Margaret scene and it just seemed to drag on. Like another poster said, they fast forward through those scenes, well I don't really want to watch something where I fast forward through part of it. So to me it just wasn't worth it. The only character I really liked was chalky. I hope it stays good to y'all who stick with it though

Why Investors Want Crocs, Corning and Dollar General
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Having just caught a glimpse of a brief video clip titled "The Top Ten Stocks for Nov. 27," I wanted to share three names that are suddenly back in favor.
Let's begin with one that some mistakenly thought had no future. I'm speaking about Crocs (CROX - Get Report), the worldwide maker and distributor of sassy but comfortable footwear, apparel and accessories for men, women and children.
The stock jumped over 9% after Goldman Sachs analyst Taposh Bari gave the creator of those colorful plastic shoes a "Buy" rating, saying that investors have misinterpreted the shoe brand as a fad.
"We see Crocs as a lifestyle brand with global appeal that appears both proven and sustainable," he wrote in a note to investors. The stock put in a 52-week low price of $12 on Nov. 15, but on Tuesday it leaped to $13.49 on heavier than normal volume.
CROX trades at 8.65 times forward earnings, has very little debt, has over $315 million in total cash (as of Sept. 30) and a price-to-earnings to growth (PEG) ratio of only 0.90. All these factors indicate a stock that is undervalued, so no wonder the upside response was so positive. Below is what I'll call "the chart of the day." It shows the one-year price movement of CROX versus its retained earnings. By that measure this company may just end up on some big predators' takeover wish list. CROX data by YChartsAnother underrated name that received a good deal of attention Tuesday was Corning (GLW - Get Report), which pays an attractive dividend yield of around 3%. In Tuesday's trading GLW spiked almost 7% after it forecast stronger than expected retail demand for consumer electronics in the fourth quarter. Corning is the world leader in specialty glass and ceramics. Drawing on more than 160 years of materials science and process engineering knowledge, Corning creates and makes keystone components that enable high-technology systems for consumer electronics, mobile emissions control, telecommunications and life sciences. GLW also alluded to stronger demand for new televisions in the U.S.
