Sherpa Killed Fixing Lines on Everest
A Sherpa guide in Nepal was killed while fixing lines on Everest this past Sunday, April 7, according to the Associated Press. Mingma Sherpa fell into a crevasse above Camp One and perished. A helicopter is being sent to camp to retrieve his body.

The Sherpas have a long history as the local guides to foreign climbers looking to scale the world's tallest peak. They are frequently charged with setting up ropes from base to summit that climbers then jumar up for the South Col route.The risks Sherpas take each year have spurred efforts by some to ensure greater safety for Sherpa guides on the mountain and greater opportunities for the Sherpa people off the mountain. The Khumbu Climbing Center, supported by the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation, provides key climbing and safety training to Sherpa guides. Alpine Ascents International also started the Sherpa Education Fund, which helps pay for Sherpa children to receive an education.

So much old stuff
... turn you are confronted with another 5-6-7th centaury BC ruin whilst always being under the awe of the Parthenon. After Gryos for lunch we ventured up to the Acropolis and its surrounds. It is a humbling place, standing under 15m of marble that has stood the test of 2500 years. Laura's favourite for the day was artifacts that the Ancient Greeks used to randomly select jurors for duty in the 5th centaury BC, truly amazing that we seem to have gone so ...
... We hiked to the top and took the wrong turn coming down so we had to back track. This was not the day to get lost, the temperature was 106 so we were drenched by the time we got back down the mountain. Lucky for us this was a short visit and the boat left port with another swim stop as we headed for Nafplion. Nafplion is ...

little cloudy, but it is close to 70 today. We got up at 8am for breakfast, but
cut it short as Jamie wasn't feeling well. We hung out in the room until 10:30
then went out to see and explore the tiny Greek town. This town had over 40 churches in this small area.
Gythion shopping
We decide to stay two nights and mooch off into Gythion for coffee. Once a major port, now large marina and very pretty old buildings by harbour. Little bit of retail therapy for me then back to swim and snooze. In Gythion harbour there is a tiny island which is where Helen of Troy and Paris spent their first night after escaping from Sparta. At ...
Breakfast by the harbour then drive north up the east coast, heading for campsite at Gythion. Stop in mountain village of Lagia for coffee and meet a german couple on their bikes, one of which is a recumbent bike! We buy them a cup of coffee while a rain storm passes.

I don't know how people are saying it's fine.
I mean, Nidalee/Mundo? Yeah they're skillshot hurts.
Morganna's skillshot can be obnoxious and can kill you if you were way out of place or something
Anivia's hurts with the follow up
But blitz is the only hero I can think of that getting hit by his skilshot is a death sentence.
Edit: I mean it's not like his other abilities suck either. Well his ult is rather lackluster, but the knockup and the ASPD/Movement are pure gold.
Lil Sissy
Junior Member
If you know Blitz is going to lead his shots, then why don't you pretend to go one direction, and head the other way? Plenty of people have done that against me and it works. People's first reaction is to usually back up when I appear. It's the people that realize this and move forward that usually dodge the shot. It becomes a mind game.
Senior Member
All skills on par, the only time Blitzcrank is grabbing people is during teamfights. Even a good Blitz player can't grab you at will. Not without putting himself in danger.
I think this is a prime example of play the hero before complaining about him. I know it's not as easy as it was in Beta, but he'll be around next week (assuming that they are going to recycle champs back to what they were during week 1). If you're able to instill the fear in other players that you currently feel while playing against Blitzcrank, you're doing something right.
Lets talk about meathook
White Mongoose
One of my favorite things with blitzcrank is sitting in the woods and rocket grabbing someone who thinks they are all nice and safe next to their turret and then bam there dead before they know what happened.
If Ashe's ult isn't a Death Sentence for whomever gets hit by it, then Ashe shouldn't have fired the shot, or that person has Cleanse/Quicksilver Sash.
Blitz's grab is only a "death sentence" if his teammate has a stun/slow. Honestly, though, if your teammate is paying attention and realizes you're in danger, they can save you by counter-harassing a lot of the time, or straight-up save you if they are a mega healer like Taric or Soraka.
I agree that it's basically an instant death move if you are on an unco-ordinated team, though.
its a skill shot get over it

In Guam, 'Non-Binding Straw Poll' Gives Obama A Commanding Win
The polls in Guam have closed and the results are in.
President Obama managed a big victory, garnering 72 percent of the votes. That's about 23,067 votes compared to 8,443 votes for Gov. Mitt Romney.
Now for the disclaimers: Guam, 6,000 miles and 18 times zones away from California, is a territory of the United States, so their votes don't count. The presidential part of the vote is considered a "non-binding straw poll." But if you believe in bellweathers, listen up.
Here's what R. Todd Thompson of NPR member station KPRG in Guam told us:
"Since 1984, Guam has been conducting a non-binding presidential 'straw poll' on the same date as the presidential election. And each time since 1984, the Guam Straw Poll has correctly predicted who will be the next president.
"Because Guam votes so early and has a perfect track record in picking the winner, Guam is the new bellwether in presidential politics. Traditionally, those seeking an early indication of things to come on Election Day have looked to Dixville Notch, and a couple other tiny New Hampshire towns which vote just past midnight on Election Day and then proceed to count a handful of ballots. However, these early returns have had little predictive value historically.
"Guam, on the other hand, has predicted the presidential winner every time. In fact, the only time Guam arguably got it wrong it still predicted the ultimate winner. In 2000, Guam narrowly favored Bush over Gore. Of course, Bush lost the popular vote nationwide in 2000, but he still managed to become president."
As we reported on Two-Way earlier, in Dixville Notch Romney and Obama tied with five votes a piece. In Hart's Location, the AP reports, Obama won 23 votes to 9.

A gamma camera system and method are described which use multiple point sources to detect inaccuracies in detector translational and rotational alignment. In practice of the method of the preferred embodiment, three capillary tubes, each containing a drop of an isotope, are located in different planes and locations with respect to the axis of rotation of the detectors. A SPECT acquisition is performed and the point source projection data is processed to calculate the point source coordinates, from which center-of-rotation correction factors may be calculated. These correction factors are applied by mechanical and software adjustments to the gantry and acquisition systems of the camera to correct for both translational and rotational inaccuracies.

[0001] This invention relates to nuclear medicine and, in particular, to the correction of spatial errors in gamma camera alignment by the use of multiple point sources.
[0002] Alignment of the image matrix system (the imaging coordinates) with the mechanical system (the detector coordinates) of a nuclear camera is one of the key factors that affect the SPECT image quality. Misalignment of these coordinates can result in spatial errors in the identified locations of radionuclide events, causing lack of clarity in the reconstructed nuclear image. There are potentially three translation errors and three rotation errors that a gamma camera detector may encounter during an event acquisition relative to its correct position. The translation errors are in tangential, axial and radial directions of camera gantry rotation. The rotation axes of the rotation errors are parallel respectively to the tangential, axial and radial directions of gantry rotation.
[0003] Currently a single point source measurement method is used in the clinical environment to align the detector head or heads on the gantry. In this method a small radionuclide sample which approximates a point source is placed at an off-axis position in the camera's field-of-view, and a circular SPECT acquisition is acquired. The center of the spot formed by the point source on each frame in the projection is estimated as the center of mass (centroid) of the whole frame. The spatial coordinates of the point source in a transverse direction are then estimated by fitting the centers of the spots on the frames to a sine curve. The spatial coordinate of the point source in the axial direction is estimated as the average of the center position in that direction. The translation errors in the tangential and axial directions for each frame position are calculated based on the estimated point source position.
[0004] When there are no rotational errors in the system, the single point source method is relatively accurate. However, when rotational errors become significant, an error correction method that can detect rotational errors as well as the translational errors is highly desirable.
[0005] In accordance with the principles of the present invention, a method for detecting and correcting nuclear medicine camera alignment problems or center-of-rotation (COR) errors is described. The inventive method employs multiple point sources in the field-of-view in order to estimate alignment errors. In a preferred embodiment three or more point sources are used. Preferably, the point sources are positioned so that no two sources share the same transverse plane; and no three sources share an oblique plane parallel to the rotation axis. In one embodiment a SPECT acquisition is performed with the multiple point sources in the field-of-view and system alignment information is extracted from the projection data. In a preferred embodiment the method extracts the center of the spot that each point source forms on the frame at a certain detector rotation angle using Gaussian surface fitting. The spatial coordinates of the point sources are found by fitting the centers to a sine curve in transverse directions or a constant in the axial direction. The two translational and three rotational alignment errors are found at each detector position using a least squared fit based on analysis of the imaging system geometry. The preferred method not only measures tangential and axial translation errors of a detector, but also measures all three rotational errors from a single SPECT acquisition of multiple point sources.
[0006] In the drawings:
[0007]FIGS. 1a-1 f illustrate the types of misalignment of center-of-rotation (COR) errors that may be encountered with a two-detector-head gamma camera;
[0008]FIG. 2 illustrates the preparation of a point source sample;
[0009]FIGS. 3a and 3 b illustrate the placement of the point sources in the field-of-view;
[0010]FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a method for determining the COR values for a detector head from its point source projection;
[0011]FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method for determining the centers of a point source projection in a frame; and
[0012]FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a method for checking the integrity of a number of point projections in a frame.
[0013] There are a number of misalignment or COR errors that can develop in a gamma camera, as illustrated in FIGS. 1a-1 f. In these drawings two detectors heads, Head1 and Head2, are mounted for rotation by a gantry 10 about a center-of-rotation indicated by crosshair 12 which is coincident with the z axis. The detector heads can become misaligned in the axial direction as indicated by the misalignment of the dotted lines extending from the centers of the two detector heads in FIG. 1a. The detector heads can become misaligned in the tangential direction as indicated by the lack of alignment of the dotted lines extending from the centers of the two detector heads in FIG. 1b. Ideally, both dotted lines should intersect the z axis at the center of the crosshair 12. FIG. 1c illustrates a radius error by the noncircular dotted line, indicating that the two detector heads are not following the identical concentric path when rotated by the gantry about the center of the crosshair 12. In FIG. 1d the detector surface of the Head1 detector is not parallel to the z axis of rotation, referred to herein as a �tilt error.� In FIG. 1e there is a rotation error of the Head1 detector; the axis of rotation of Head1 is misaligned in this example. This type of error is referred to as an �angle error.� FIG. 1f is a plan view of the detector surface 14 in which the detector head is rotated from its orthogonal alignment with the z axis, referred to herein as a �twist error.� The prior art approaches address only the translation errors of FIGS. 1a and 1 b, and assume that the misalignment is constant for each angle setting of the detector heads.
[0014] The method of the present invention can be performed by mounting or suspending point sources in the field-of-view of a gamma camera as described more fully below. An acquisition sequence is then performed in which the detector head(s) are rotated about the COR by the gantry and gamma rays detected at each detector location. In a constructed embodiment there may by 64-128 such detector locations. The locations of the point sources in the field-of-view are detected from the gamma ray counts on the crystals and the position and angle of locational shifts of the point sources at different detector positions are measured. In a preferred embodiment these point source measurements are analyzed by a least squares approximation method to resolve the errors at each detector location. The detected errors are corrected by either mechanical adjustment of the head rotation or by correction factors in the reconstruction algorithms. For instance, the x,y coordinates of detected gamma ray events on the crystal can be corrected to x+Δx,y+Δy. Preferably these corrections are done on-the-fly during acquisition to correct locational shifts as the event data is acquired. An average correction value can be applied, but preferably event-by-event correction values are used.
[0015] A point source can be prepared as shown in FIG. 2. A syringe 20 is used to put a tiny drop 22 of a radionuclide in a capillary tube 24. As shown in the drawing, to approximate a point source in the typical camera image field, it is desirable to keep the size of the drop to 4 mm or less, and preferably less than 3 mm in all dimensions. A suitable radionuclide for many cameras is technetium (Tc-99m) with an activity level of 100 μCi or greater, and preferably in the range of 500 to 1000 μCi. A point source is easy and inexpensive to produce in this manner and can be properly disposed of relatively easily.
[0016]FIGS. 3a and 3 b are axial and side views of an example of effective placement of the point sources 1, 2, and 3 in the field-of-view between camera detector heads 32 and 34. The arrows 36 indicate the direction of rotation of the detector heads during acquisition. The crosshairs 12 mark the center of the x,y coordinates of the system, which also intersect the z axis of rotation. In the illustrated point source placement the sources 1, 2, 3 are seen by both detectors at every angle during the rotational ECT scan. None of the sources shares a transverse plane, that is, each source has its own unique z value. Preferably the z coordinates of the sources are separated by at least 10 cm and the sources are placed about 10 cm from the z axis of rotation in this embodiment. Preferably, the sources are distributed approximately evenly in space when viewed axially.
[0017] In a preferred method of the present invention a 360-degree SPECT study is performed with the point sources in the field-of-view using the largest matrix available. The number of stops should be 64 or greater. The result for each head is saved as a separate study.
[0018] The alignment errors for each detector head are determined based on the measured point source projection data. A flowchart illustrating this procedure is shown in FIG. 4. From the point source projection data the projection center of each point source (PSF) is determined (step 50). A two-dimensional (2D) Gaussian surface fit program can be used to determine the projection center of each point source at each detector position. Using a 2D Gaussian surface fit can minimize the error in center determination due to asymmetry of the peak when the projection of a point source is close to an edge of the detector. FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of this procedure. The center of a point source projection, i.e., a peak, is accurately determined by two passes. First the approximate center is found by searching the position of the maximum pixel (step 60). Assuming this is roughly the center of a peak, a rough estimation of the sigma (σ) of the peak is determined (step 62). A square subset of the frame with the maximum intensity pixel at the center and of 6σ in size is extracted from the frame for the next pass, that is, the surface fit (step 64). Using σ and the position of the maximum pixel as the initial values, the 2D Gaussian surface fit program determines the accurate center of the peak from the extracted sub-frame (steps 66, 68). To find the center of the next peak, the surface fit of the current peak is subtracted from the frame before looping back to the first pass of the peak-searching program (step 70). The peak-searching program generates a list of point source projection centers found from each frame (72).
[0019] After the point source centers are found for the last frame, the integrity of number of source points found in all the frames is checked (step 52). FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of this procedure. A check is performed of the number of centers found in a frame (step 80). If there is a points missing for a frame, it may be an indication that either the point projection is outside the field-of-view or the source is too weak or the acquisition time is too short. If the frame is missing a center it is marked (step 82). If there are more points found in a frame, it may be due to high noise level in the acquisition. Weak point sources or short acquisition times are likely causes of the high noise level. Centers that do not match points in other frames are discarded (step 84). The procedure is continued until all frames have been checked.
[0020] After the point source projection centers are found for all the frames, the coordinates of the point sources can be determined using Equation (16) found in the Appendix below (step 54). The center-of-rotation alignment errors for each frame can be determined using Equation (18) of the Appendix (step 56). The alignment errors are stored in a table of rotational alignment data (Step 58).
[0021] The alignment errors which have been determined are then used to correct the alignment geometry, either through mechanical adjustment to the gantry or correction factors in the processing software. In one typical embodiment, the translation errors Et and Es were corrected in the acquisition software. The detector angle error scan be corrected with control mechanisms in the detector head mounts. Rotational errors ζ and ξ are preferably adjusted mechanically by trained service personnel.
[0022] The equations shown below are based upon two coordinate systems, one of spatial coordinates and the other of coordinates of the detector of the gamma camera. These are defined as follows:
[0023] Spatial coordinates include x-, y- and z-axis. When a patient is in a head-in, supine position on the patient table, the x-axis points horizontally to the left of the patient; the y-axis points upright; the z-axis points horizontally to the feet of the patient. The origin of the spatial coordinate system is fixed relative to the patient table.
[0024] Detector coordinates include t-, s-axis and detector angle. When a patient is in a head-in position on the table, and is viewed from the feet of the patient, 12 o'clock is the 0 degree of the detector rotation angle and clockwise rotation is positive. When a detector head is at 0-degree position, the t-axis of the detector is parallel to the x-axis of the spatial coordinates. The s-axis of the detector is always parallel to the z-axis of the spatial coordinates. The t-axis in the detector coordinate system is fixed relative to the detector head.
[0025] The distribution of activities is presented in spatial coordinates. The measured projections are presented in detector coordinates.
[0026] Assume an ideal point source is positioned at (x0, y0, z0) in the spatial coordinates. The spatial activity distribution can be represented as:
A(x,y,z)=δ(x−x 0 ,y−y 0 ,z−z 0) (1)
[0027] When this point source is measured with a parallel-beam collimator on a detector, a projection generated in the detector coordinates should be:
p(t,s,θ)=h(t−x 0 cosθ+y 0 sinθ,s−z 0 ,R−x 0 sinθ−y 0 cosθ) (2)
[0028] where h(t,s,d) is the point spread function at source-to-collimator distance d, R is the detector radius defined from the collimator surface to the center of rotation.
[0029] Assuming that h(t,s,d) is symmetric to the t- and s-axis, the resulting projection would be symmetric to the center of the spot generated by the point source in the detector space. Therefore the centroid coordinates can be used to represent the projection.
[0030] Equation (3) can be rewritten as
[0031] where r 0 ={square root}{square root over (x
[0032] When an axial translation error is present, the measured t and s for the point source would be
[0033] where Es(θ) is the translation of the detector in the s direction as a function of detector angle θ. A positive Es causes the detector the shift in the s or z direction, as illustrated by Head1 in FIG. 1a.
[0034] With a translation error in the tangential direction, we have
[0035] where Et(θ) is the translation of the detector in the t direction as a function of detector angle θ. FIG. 1b illustrates a positive Et of Head1.
[0036] The effect of a translation error in the radius direction is negligible in parallel-beam SPECT studies. This error can be measured and needs to be addressed in fan-beam, cone-beam or MCD geometry systems.
[0037] With tilt errors, we have
[0038] where ζ(θ) is the detector rotation angle relative to the z-axis as a function of detector angle θ and R is the radius of rotation measured from the collimator surface. u0 is defined as:
u 0 =x 0 sin θ+y 0 cosθ (8)
[0039] The rotation axis of the tilt error is on the surface of the collimator and is perpendicular to the gantry rotation axis. A positive ζ causes a positive s on the detector surface to tilt towards the gantry rotation axis. FIG. 1d shows that Head1 has a positive ζ.
[0040] With angle errors, we have
[0041] where ε(θ) is the error that causes the detector surface not to be facing the axis of rotation. The rotation axis of the angle error is defined on the surface of the collimator and is parallel to the gantry rotation axis. The direction of ε defined in the same way as θ. FIG. 1e shows that Head1 has a positive ε.
[0042] With twist errors, we have
[0043] where ξ(θ) is the detector rotation angle relative to the norm of the detector surface as a function of detector angle θ. The rotation axis of twist error is at the center of the detector surface and is perpendicular to the surface. When viewed from the gantry rotation axis towards the detector, a positive twist error causes a clockwise rotation of the detector surface.
[0044] The actual measurement should include a combination of all the errors:
[0045] Note that we dropped θ from the variables that are a function of θ to shorten the expression.
[0046] The task of measuring the misalignments is to determine Et(θ), Es(θ), ξ(θ), ζ(θ), and ε(θ) with measurements that can be performed in a clinical environment.
[0047] Assume all the rotation errors are small. The following conditions are true:
[0048] Equation (10) is simplified to:
[0049] where d0=R−u0. If we put n point sources in the field of view and find the center {circumflex over (t)}mi and ŝmi for each of them at each angle position θ, we can estimate the position of the point sources (xvyvzl) by minimizing the least squared error for each point for all angles:
[0050] where Np is the number of projection angles, and θj is the projection angle at the projection j. We have
[0051] Resolving the above equations produces
[0052] We can then calculate (t0, s0, u0) using Equations (3) and (8) for each point source i (tl, sv, l). tmi and smi are then derived from (ti, sl, ul) using Equation (13). The errors can be estimated by minimizing the following
[0053] where tmi and smi are derived from (xv yv zl) using Equation (13). Therefore we have
[0054] It is straightforward to resolve the above linear equations and determine Et, Es, ξ, ζ, and ε for each angle θ. While these equations are optimized for parallel-beam geometry, similar equations can be readily derived in the same manner for fan-beam, cone-beam and coincidence mode geometries.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
A high school freshman, Charlie, writes anonymous letters about his life. The letters reveal Charlie's naivety as he experiences with new friends, art, mind altering substances, and other sensitive issues. Hidden beneath Charlie's innocent exterior lies a haunting experience of physical abuse that he faced as a child.
Although Stephen Chbosky's book concludes with Charlie's revelation of his emotional repression, his realization of what really matters in life makes the book end on an optimistic note. The intimate portrayals in each letters make the characters come to life.
Super-intelligent, sensitive, yet misunderstood high school freshman Charlie navigates his first year of high school with a little help from his graduating senior friends. The older kids, surprisingly, treat him as an equal, and his English teacher singles him out for special attention because he's so gifted. It's not a bad life for a self-proclaimed "wallflower". Charlie and his friends deal with a whole raft of modern teen problems (including dysfunctional families, unintended pregnancy, and homophobia, just for starters), and there are hints that Charlie may have some unresolved emotional scars from his early childhood. Charlie's issues aren't fully elucidated until they are wrapped up neatly at the end.
Many readers love this book, and it is a quick, easy read. But I guess I'm not part of its demographic. To me Charlie came across as a yet another derivative of Holden Caulfield. Like Holden, Charlie even says "I really do" to underline his own sincerity. I didn't buy a word of it.
The script could not be written any more platitude.
What a gem! I wish I had read this classic when I was in high school.
a bit disappointing but probably all on me and not the book. At 40-something, this didn't hit the rigth buttons. I'd like to know more about Charlie, even after revelations were made to the reader. I think that on the screen, the director can provide the missing elements that the author requires us to assume. The epistolary method ended up working out well for this story, keeping the story anonymous and timeless (except, of course, for the dates on the letters) Not looking forward at all to my near-teens to go through all of the drinking and drug use that seemed to be a common theme to every weekend. When I went to high school, the seniors and freshmen didn't hang out together, but then again, turning 16 in the middle of a freshman year is a bit unusual, unless you've been held back a year or two. This is one of the fascets of Charlie's story that I'd like to know more of. What did he actually go through when he was younger and closer to when he was traumatized by his Aunt Helen!?!?!?!?!??!
actually give the book 2.5 stars... I'd hesitate recommending this to anyone. To quote Charlie, "The movie (in this case, this book) itself was interesting, but I don't think it was very good because I didn't really feel different when it was over."

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0671027344, Paperback)What is most notable about this funny, touching, memorable first novel from Stephen Chbosky is the resounding accuracy with which the author captures the voice of a boy teetering on the brink of adulthood. Charlie is a freshman. And while's he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. He's a wallflower--shy and introspective, and intelligent beyond his years, if not very savvy in the social arts. We learn about Charlie through the letters he writes to someone of undisclosed name, age, and gender, a stylistic technique that adds to the heart-wrenching earnestness saturating this teen's story. Charlie encounters the same struggles that many kids face in high school--how to make friends, the intensity of a crush, family tensions, a first relationship, exploring sexuality, experimenting with drugs--but he must also deal with his best friend's recent suicide. Charlie's letters take on the intimate feel of a journal as he shares his day-to-day thoughts and feelings:
I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they're here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It's like looking at all the students and wondering who's had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.With the help of a teacher who recognizes his wisdom and intuition, and his two friends, seniors Samantha and Patrick, Charlie mostly manages to avoid the depression he feels creeping up like kudzu. When it all becomes too much, after a shocking realization about his beloved late Aunt Helen, Charlie retreats from reality for awhile. But he makes it back in due time, ready to face his sophomore year and all that it may bring. Charlie, sincerely searching for that feeling of "being infinite," is a kindred spirit to the generation that's been slapped with the label X. --Brangien Davis

About MeHello, welcome to my portfolio! As you can see my name is Sabrina. Birthday- 3.10.1990
As you can see I dont really have a whole lot of genres going for me. The genres I do have listed are ones that I have some experience in. I believe that I am fully capable of being successful in all of the genres that come with modeling. We all have our own look but I believe its very important to be versatile and not to be afraid to step out of your comfort zone in order to be a successful model, something I'm stil learning as time goes by. My comfort grows more confident each time the camera captures my image. The more work I do the harder I fall in love with the art, beauty, and passion not just for modeling but with the people as well.
I do expect to always sign Model Release forms. I feel it would be unprofessional not too. Please do not ask me to do nudes. I dont mind at all being naked BUT covered up in some way.
Right now my time is open but its hard for me to transport. Lansing is the only area I am able to do shoots because of transportation. Until further notice.

LOS ANGELES - Life is good these days for Simon Cowell.
"America's Got Talent," which he created and produces, reigns as summer's top-rated program and was renewed recently for a 10th season by NBC. It's part of a "Got Talent" franchise seen in 62 countries which, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, makes it the most successful reality show yet.
Several weeks ago, he placed a good-sized bet on Germany to win the World Cup. And, to top it all off, he's reveling in first-time fatherhood with his infant son with his girlfriend, socialite Lauren Silverman.
"He's amazing. We're in the Hamptons (in New York) at the moment, taking a break. He's 5 months old, learning to swim," Cowell said.
Family life hasn't derailed attending to business for the British TV host and producer who's also the music executive behind such hit acts as One Direction.
He's pleased that NBC renewed "America's Got Talent," which features Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel as judges and Nick Cannon as host. The series, a big-tent talent show for every sort of performer, has thrived while singing shows like "American Idol" and "The Voice" have suffered ratings erosion.
He attributes its success worldwide in large part to careful handling by FremantleMedia, its co-owner and producer with Cowell's Syco Entertainment. The program airs just once a year in each market to avoid wearing out the format's welcome.
Cowell is planning to return to the arena with another singing contest. It's been in development for about eight months.
Might he consider another project altogether, marriage to Silverman?
"We'll wait and see," Cowell replied politely.

Does anyone have experience with the new Owens Corning Innovision fiberglass windows? I believe they were released earlier this year. I'm wondering how they compare to Marvin Integrity in quality and price.
It would be to early to know about their longevity, but how about initial quality?

Be an Advocate
This week, the House and Senate are expected to vote on budget resolutions that would attempt to balance the budget in 10 years.
While these resolutions are non-binding, they will almost certainly be used to draft legislation that would balance the budget on the backs of low-income Americans by cutting hunger-relief programs.
It is important to send a strong message to let Congress know that cutting programs to provide nutritious food to children and their families in America is the wrong way to balance the budget. Please call your representative in the House and both Texas Senators with a clear message: Protect the programs that help us fight hunger among children, the elderly, and their families in America.
Call Congress Today!
It's Easy - Here's how:
Just dial our toll free number, (888) 398-8702, listen to the pre-recorded message and enter your zip code when prompted.
1) Once you are connected to your first Member of Congress, state that you are a constituent, tell them that you vote and will be watching, and give your name and the town you are calling from.
2) State that you are calling about the budget and deliver this important message:
3) As your constituent and supporter of the Houston Food Bank, I am calling you today to urge you to vote against any efforts to cut or block-grant hunger-relief programs like SNAP when you consider the budget resolution. SNAP benefits have already been cut twice in the last two years. Your constituents rely on these programs, and our food bank will be unable to meet the need in our community if these programs are cut.
4) Please find a more responsible way to balance the budget.
Please dial back in and speak with your representative and both Texas Senators.
How to Reach Your Representative and Senator
in the Texas State Legislature
Find your state representative or senator here
Tell your State Senator or Representative that you support Feeding with Impact -- an effort by the Houston Food Bank and other food banks in Texas who are asking for $20 million to acquire more fresh produce for hungry families and individuals. Our food banks work together through our state association, Feeding Texas.
Of that amount, $18 million would pay for harvesting, packaging, transportation and storage; $2 million would expand Brighter Bites, a Houston Food Bank partner program that provides fresh produce and education to kids and their families in area schools. The program started here in Houston and is expanding throughout the state.
How to Reach Your Member of Congress
Please click the link below to find Your Member of Congress and Contact Information - Who is my Representative
Policy Matters
Food insecurity continues to be a persistent challenge in Texas and across the country, as shown by data from the 2014 Map the Meal Gap report, issued by Feeding America. And things could get worse for people in the middle class or low income families, if Congress accepts the federal budget recently passed in the House.
According to Map the Meal Gap, overall food insecurity in the Houston Food Bank's 18-county service area decreased slightly, but child food insecurity increased by .5%, or 11,000 kids. Many of these kids don't have a safety net. Roughly one third of children who are food insecure are not likely eligible for any federal food program benefits, including reduced/free school lunch or school breakfast, if the schools they attend don't offer the meals to all students.
Given this stunning reality, House-passed budget cuts are completely unacceptable. They would harm children and their families while granting important tax reductions for millionaires. The House-passed Budget provides for an $87,000 tax break for each of our 27,347 millionaires, and a $2,000 average increase in taxes for each of our middle class families.
Other House-proposed budget cuts would affect the population served by the Houston Food Bank:
- 296,014 Texan seniors would pay more for medicine through reinstating the prescription drug "doughnut hole";
- 44,260 college students would not receive Pell Grants;
- and, 12,350 more children would lose access to Head Start programs.
A Call to Action
Please communicate with your Congressional Representative to ask how (s)he voted on the House budget. If (s)he voted for it, please tell them that:
- you vote;
- further cuts in nutrition and other provisions which help Texas children and families are not acceptable;
- and, neither are additional tax breaks for the richest among us.
Did you know?
- Texas has one of the highest rates of child food insecurity in the country
- Every day 66,200 people in Houston are hungry - 5,000 of them children
- Each year the Houston Food Bank feeds 800,000 people - 47% are children
- 43% of hungry families must choose between food and medicine
YOU have the power to help end hunger. Let your elected officials know today that you want them to support comprehensive anti-hunger initiatives. Take a stand now because hunger is unacceptable.
If you have not done so, please register to vote now so your voice counts in future elections.

These reviews are the opinion of an RVParkReviews' member and not the views of RVParkReviews.com
Date of Stay: July, 2013 - $14.00
Can't disagree with previous review. US Cell and Sprint cellphone will work. We have amp and outside antenna and got 3G Verizon internet but wife's phone didn't work. There are several gray water disposal basins so if you pick your spot you could run "gray" hose without moving. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Nice fish cleaning house which we used a lot! Most spots are big enough to have a tent plus an RV. Will return again. Price reflects senior discount of $2. In park WiFi is available if close enough to source. The name Hells Canyon has a lot to do with the temp as it was 111 degrees day and 70+ at night. We camped at Woodhead Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: June, 2010 - $16.00
Large campground situated on the Brownlee Reservoir. There are only a couple of pull-throughs, the rest are back-ins. There are only a few campsites where you can sit and fish; the rest are higher up with a fabulous view of the reservoir and hillside. Good water pressure and power. Some of the campsites are heavily tree where others are out in the open. There is a small store about three miles away if coming in through Cambridge. From Cambridge the park is about 30 miles in. This park is run by Idaho Power and they have three more parks that are on the Brownlee/Oxbow reservoir with one being on the Oregon side. No cellphone service here although there is internet for a fee which was $20.00 per week. By the day was very expensive. We really enjoyed the park and would gladly return the next time we're in the area. We camped at Woodhead Campground in a Motorhome.Undo

Firstly thanks for your review.
it is also good to hear that your first 15 days was fantastic with your deep sea fishing,visits to all sides of the island and the rental of the scooter and the great time at Crane beach, cutters and crane resort.
we are sorry about the Rolly Poly or [Pill bug] kids keep as pets in England. They are quiet harmless they appear and disappear just as quick.
We did not Ration the A/C. but reminded you that it is costly to leave 2 units running all day as you go deep sea fishing of surfing. you left us with an ELECTRIC bill higher than all the other guest for 6 months. we are happy to hear you arrive home safely. and that you had a fantastic time in Barbados at THE CRANE.

First Competition Day done and out of the way
This will be a short post. We were up super early this morning to be on the road by 06:30 as we had to travel from Stirling to North Berwick - a journey of about 1 3/4 hours.
the drive was uneventful, but I am beginning to see why the locals are so blase about their history, every where you look there is a castle, or the site of a castle or a ruining castle or some other romantic and exciting looking place! ...
TONI's here!
... the underground town tour and saw a bit of Arthur's Seat & the castle. She LOVED haggis and said she had enjoyed the local beers! During the week it was pretty quiet with a lot of exploring, home cooked meals (which is something you def crave when travelling) and catch up sleep on her part. Some Irn Bru was also smapled - so Scottish! The city had just been winding down after a full month of Fringe madness so she just missed the time gap for ...
John Muir's wicked way
... probably the point when we lost the proper path. We end up battling through more soft sand pits and prickly undergrowth until, guess what, we are at another long beach. I have now lost count of the number of bays and sand dune tracks we have trudged along but the path seems to have disappeared again and there is still no sign of Yellowcraig beach which we are bound to recognise as we have visited it several times ...
Bike Ride to Portobello Beach!
... because when it began in the early 1800's, it was believed that steam engines were too dangerous so they used horses to pull the loads. Originally intended to haul coal, the public immediately took to using it for transportation, and passengers soon became as important as other freight! The original railway tunnel and cast iron beam bridge survive today as part of the trail. ...
Heading to the capital
... to find out if anything significant happened at that spot. With quite a bit of it still standing, it was all too easy to imagine how once it stood - proud and ominous and defiant til the end.
We took in the rest of it and before long, it was time to return to alight the boat back to the Clansman and our car. With Carys remaining determined to find Nessie, ...

Multiple Sclerosis: Understanding and Communication Important
The National Institutes of Health defines multiple sclerosis (MS) as "an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system. It can range from relatively benign to somewhat disability to devastating, as communication between the brain and other parts of the body is disrupted." Most people with MS have muscle weakness in their extremities, and balance and coordination difficulties. Half of all people affected ultimately have cognitive impairments.
In 2011, Jeff Gallatin, began the process of grieving after the passing of his 72-year-old mother Carol, who had chronic progressive multiple sclerosis. Carol had been a choir director, a hospice "clown" for children, a storytelling guild president, a Northwestern University marketing graduate, and the community affairs director for a division of Rockwell International in Cleveland.
"It's still an emotional subject for me," said Gallatin, an Ohio newspaper associate editor, of discussing his mother's death. "My mom had polio as a kid, but had always been able to overcome (her physical difficulties). In the mid- to late- '90s, little physical challenges began cropping up with her. She went from using a cane to a walker to a manual wheelchair. In 2001, I moved in with her."
Doctors apparently had trouble diagnosing her, maybe because MS usually first affects people between the ages of 20-40. One day about two months after Jeff moved in, Carol couldn't get out of her rocking chair, which moved a friend to suggest more tests that finally yielded a diagnosis.
"Then they said my mother would never get out of the nursing home (because of MS)," said Gallatin. "But they didn't know my mother." After 18 months there, Carol moved back in with Jeff until her passing in 2011. At the end, she had paralyzed legs.
Perhaps the most difficult aspect of being his mother's caregiver ten years was in having to watch her use a wheelchair. She had been such a proud, professional woman, who had raised two children on her own as a divorcee.
As for advice to other caregivers of parents, he said, "Be sure to talk and communicate with (the parent). For example, our Saturday morning was sacred to us. We'd talk and catch up. She was a wonderful sounding board."
Gallatin said he wasn't a perfect caregiver. What helped him a lot was having good bosses, who allowed him to occasionally leave work to help out his mother.
