Delusions of Doghood
You see that guy there? He's crawling around on all fours, and...is he sniffing that guy's butt? Who does he think he is?
A dog, of course.
There's plenty of Shapeshifting tropes, but this one is a bit different. You see, these characters don't actually change form, they just think they do. This is whenever a character believes he is a dog or any other animal without actually being it.
If faithful and well-behaved it might actually make a good Human Pet. All Animals Are Dogs might be explained if other non-dog animals are under the same delusion. Do not confuse with Delusion of Godhood, which is something else.

- The Tex Avery-directed Walter Lantz short "Crazy Mixed-up Pup" is about a man and his dog who are run over and treated by paramedics, who accidentally got human and canine plasma switched.

While chasing a streetsweeper, he gets swept under the vehicle which tears off his clothes and makes his fur shaggy, fooling his neighbor Bev Bighead into thinking he really was a dog and adopting him as her pet. Even her husband, Ed Bighead, doesn't make the connection that the new pet is his hated neighbor next door, and merely regards him as an annoying pest. Fortunately, Rocko returns back to normal at the end of the episode.
- The Garfield Show: Odie once did this to an entire town in "Dog Days", when an alien gave him a self-replicating alien cookie as gratitude for finding him marshmallows.

- Many cultural/religious/etc. beliefs thought that simply wearing the pelt (though sometimes bones as well) of an animal would cause you to take on the traits of that animal. In fact, the term "Berserk" comes from an ancient belief that wearing a bear pelt would cause you to transform into a bear.
- "Pet Play", a subset of BDSM, where the submissive acts and is treated like an animal (usually a cat, dog or horse).
- Feral children who have been raised by dogs will exhibit canine behaviour, even after they have been properly civilized.
- Inverted with birds that were raised by humans. There's a story about a female bird that developed a preference for tall, dark and handsome men, such as the man who had raised her. They had to get such a man to woo her with mating dances and the like, so that they could get her artificially inseminated. (It was a rare species, that's why they actually did it). While it is not known whether she thought of herself as human woman, this is very likely.

Delta County Hires Denver-Based Attorneys for Ongoing Hen House Case
On Monday the Delta County Commissioners went into executive session to discuss ongoing litigation over the Hostetler hen-laying operation on Powell Mesa. The closed door sessions with county attorney Christine Knight have become a hallmark of the commissioners' regular meetings as the case has dragged on for two years.
Delta County has now hired the largest legal firm in the state, one that also has offices Utah, Montana and Nevada, to defend the laying facility near Hotchkiss that houses 15,000 hens. The case is currently before the Colorado Court of Appeals after plaintiffs, claiming that the facility is a health menace to neighbors, won string of legal victories in district court. Three days after the operation should have legally ceased, the hens are still laying, and across the road, plaintiff and veterinarian Susan Raymond is pondering her next legal move.
"They want to keep operating while the appeal process happens," Raymond says. "So we're going to the judge and asking either for an emergency session of the appellate court, or ask him again. I just hope we can get it shut down while we're waiting on the appeal."
According to County Attorney Knight, appeals can take a year or more to decide. In June the County required the Hostetlers to monitor air quality and provide a plan to the county for reducing emissions. County Environmental Health Director Ken Nordstrom was unavailable for comment about whether this had yet occurred.
In the meantime, Raymond, who has lived in her family home on Powell Mesa since 1964, hates the idea of public money going toward the case against her. Raymond says the county's use of taxpayer money to continue fighting the case doesn't make sense, given the funding needs for schools and libraries.
"They want to raise taxes for all of these needs that we have in this community," she says, "and yet the county commissioners are using tax-paying money to do this. Why?"
Knight said she was researching whether the amount paid to the legal firm Holland and Hart can be made public, or whether attorney client privilege protects the information.

Beyond the Highway, Big Sur
14 Reviews
14 Reviews
Highway 1 along the California coast is a drive to be enjoyed, to be savored. Don't treat it merely as a place between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Take your time and soak in the sunshine...too much driving is never a good thing anyway.
Mission San Antonio de Padua was constructed in 1771 and was the third of 21 Spanish missions in California. The original location was a few miles away, but the facilities were moved to the current location in 1773. The missionaries built the mission much as you see it today, with a large quadrangle, mission church, a mill, and reservoirs. Though the 1830s the mission was very successful with large herds of sheep and cattle. In the 1830s the missions were secularized by the Mexican government, and Mission San Antonio was maintained by a few priests until the 1880s. By 1906 the elements and earthquakes destroyed most of the original mission, leaving just a few walls and the original church facade. When William Randolph Hearst bought the property he gave significant funds for rebuilding the mission, and after the US army purchased the land, restoration continued.
Today Mission San Antonio de Padua is one of the only Spanish missions in California that exists in a similar natural environment as during the Spanish times. This is a beautiful mission in a secluded valley that is very welcoming to the rare visitors who make this trek. We loved the little cats that run around the mission just begging to be petted by anyone who comes near. Visiting the mission, gardens, and surrounding grounds is free, but the museum asks for a small entry fee.
This is the most off-the-beaten path of the missions. From Big Sur, take Nacimiento-Ferguson Road through Los Padres National Forest to Fort Hunter Liggett, then drive through the base to Mission Road. From Hwy 101 head to Jolon and enter Fort Hunter Liggett. Take Mission road to the mission.
The Fort Hunter-Liggett is a decommissioned army base just east of the Santa Lucia Mountains, occupying a large hidden valley. The area has never been subject to modern agriculture therefore the landscape is pristine with idyllic oaks, creeks, and rolling grasslands. Within the base lies well-preserved Mission San Antonio de Padua, one of the more successful 18th century Spanish Missions. The sense of isolation and history of this place is amazing.
To go to Mission San Antonio, take Nacimiento Road from Highway 1, approximately 60 miles south of Carmel. The road climbs up the coast ridge to about 3800 feet, providing incredibly ocean views. Then drive further east along a pristine canyon with creekside campgrounds. Next you will enter the Fort, (do not carry illegal items, and make sure have your car registration and driver's license with you), and follow signs to the Mission. Within the fort you cannot leave the road until you're at Mission San Antonio. To leave the fort there is also an eastern exit (Jolon Road) which leads to King City on Highway 101.
Sure you can pay $20 or more and hang out with thousands of tourists at the world famous Hearst Castle. But did you know Hearst had another mansion near Big Sur called the Hearst Hacienda? Even better, this second mansion is far from the throngs of tourists, and free to visit.
Before he constructed the massive Hearst Castle, William Randolph Hearst, a huge newspaper baron, built this much more modest hunting lodge and ranch. It was designed by Julia Morgan, the same architect who built the Hearst Castle, and was designed after Mission San Antonio, less than a half mile away. In the 1930s, the entire ranch including the hacienda was sold to the US Army to become Fort Hunter Liggett.
Today the military has priority on hotel rooms at the Hacienda, but any of the remaining 14 rooms in the small hotel are available to the public. Also in the building are a nice bar and a restaurant.
If you're based in Big Sur, you can make side trips to visit the following towns and other tourist attractions:-
17-Mile Drive/ Pebble Beach
Hearst Castle, San Simeon.....
Just to name a few....
Photo Below: Hearst Castle. That's a candid shot of me standing next to the huge outdoor swimming pool.... on a chilly and FOGGY summer morning. Brrrr...
Everyone knows you get to Big Sur via Highway 1, but few seem to know about the back way to Big Sur via the Nacimiento-Ferguson Road. About half of this route runs through the Los Padres National Forest, while the other half goes through Fort Hunter-Liggett, an active US Army post.
The main gate at Hunter-Liggett is near Jolon, just off Highway 101. To get on post you must have a photo ID, vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Once on the post you can visit the historic sites of Mission San Antonio, the Hearst Hacienda, and the ancient Native American art at La Cueva Pintada (The Painted Cave) . Also on the fort you are likely to see soldiers training, hundreds of vehicles in motor pools, and even tank targets out on the ranges. The fort was created to provide a training ground for soldiers, and its 165,000 acres provide plenty of opportunity for that! The majority of the base was purchased from William Randolph Hearst. Fort Hunter Liggett was under control of Monterey's Fort Ord until it closed in 1993. Today Fort Hunter Liggett falls uner the command of Fort McCoy, WI and is used mainly to train guard and reserve forces. Cone Peak, at 5,155 feet, is the highest peak within the fort.
From San Francisco.............................175 south on Highway 101. Take the exit marked Jolon Road (G14). There is also a historical sign announcing this exit.
Once on Jolon Road, travel 18 miles. Take a right on Mission Creek Road. You will travel through the Fort Hunter Liggett military base entrance gate. Please continue 5 miles. The Mission is on your left with a well-marked sign.
1771 Padre Junipero Serra entered the Valley of the Oaks, to found Mission San Antonio de Padua. In the secluded sierra district, Padres Serra, Pieras and Sitjar journeyed to establish the third mission in California. The date was July 14, 1771. Near the river San Antonio, on the branches of an oak tree, the bells were hung for the first time.
1773 The site of the Mission was changed from the original location to a place farther up Los Robles Valley. By the end of 1773, workshops, a small church and dwellings were established at the new site. The construction was of adobe brick. Some houses of tules and wood were set up to accommodate the soldier and converts who now numbered about 163.
1810 The final church structure was started. Construction progressed rapidly. The large timbers used for the ceiling were floated down from the mountains on the waters of the San Antonio River. The church was finally blessed in the year 1813. It is the same church building which stands reconstructed today.
1834 The beginning of the period of secularization. San Antonio becomes government property. Governor Figueroa on November 4, 1834 issued the final proclamation that took Mission San Antonio from the mission padres and placed the entire establishment under civil jurisdiction. At this time it began to fall into a state of neglect.
1863 The U.S. Land Commission formally returns Mission Lands (c. 33 acres) to the Church on May 31. Abraham Lincoln signed the decree for this return.
1883 The Mission is abandoned. Tiles are taken from the roof. Exposed to the weather, the walls crumble. Only walls of the church itself still stand, along with the brick facade and rows of brick arches along the front corridor.
1903-1908 Public spirited citizens began a limited restoration of the mission. An earthquake destroyed much of what they had done, but the project was begun over again.
1928 Eventually, 84 years after the last original missionary padre left, the Franciscans come back to their beloved San Antonio.
1948-49 Franciscans rebuild the Mission as a training school for brothers of the order. Work continues through the 1950's
Of all Spanish California missions, San Antonio de Padua is the most faithfully restored. This is what a mission really looked like. Artifacts of the missionaries and their neophyte's are on display.
Frescoes of their daily life, and the painstaking restoration of the mission's workings make it a valuable and educational museum.
All that's really different here from the old days is the Indians ...
The mission is in the Diocese of Monterey
Although the Hearst Castle State Monument is located within the limits of San Simeon Township, the center of the township is located about 10 miles south from the huge estate and the township is the nearest hamlet where you can spend the night and eat at the local restaurants and get supplies at the 3 convenience stores in the hamlet. If you want no frills and nearest to the Hearst Castle, then this is you best bet but if you want more good accomodations, I would recommend you stay at Cambria or at San Luis Obispo or Pismo Beach since they have more options like more restaurants or more beach activities and some shopping or even further away at Paso Robles so that you can savor the Fine wines of the Central Coast of California.
Address: San Simeon, CA 93452
Directions: From San Francisco: Take U.S. 101 south to California Highway 46, then west on 46 to California Highway 1 and north about 13 miles (250 miles total, approximately 5 hours)
Paso Robles Wineries are just about a 95 mile 2 hour 15 minute drive from Big Sur via CA Highway 1 then Highway 46 east. Visiting the fable Hearst Castle in San Simeon at the Central Coast of California can be breathtaking and more so if you are fond of wines and vinyards, it is just less than an hour drive from the nearby Paso Robles Wine Region of Central California via California Route 46 and Highway 1 South and if you are touring the Hearst Castle on your own and not on any part of a bus tour group, Paso Robles can be an exciting excursion since they have many fine wines here (although is is much smaller in acreage than Napa valley and Sonoma in Northern California). You will find 26,000 vineyard acres, producing more than 40 wine grape varieties ranging from Spanish to Italian, Bordeaux to Rhône, including the area's heritage variety Zinfandel. The styles of wine are diverse in this very distinct region. Wine Tasting in a local winery in Paso Robles will cost about $ 5 for regular wines and $ 8 for the vintage and premium wines.
Driving along Route 1 affords many places to stop and hike, either down to the shore or through the woods. The scent of the pines is magnified by the damness of the fog. The flora is interesting against the back drop of an angry sea.
Big Sur is a 90 mile stretch of Hwy One from Carmel t o San Simeon...however get off the Highway and discover more of the real Big Sur...check out the hikes....check out the mountains...smell the ocean
the Esalen Indians , who once roamed this area, travelled more west to east than north to south....they knew things!!!
Big Sur and it's nice bridges of the scenic route nr. 1 is often forgotten as time is mainly spend at Hearst Castle, Carmel (Pebbles Beach) and Monterey. Just stop for a nice break of one hour and walk along the coast to enjoy the beauty that is all around.
Gallery One just outside the town of Big Sur, features local well-known artists: metal sculptures, photographers, wood carvers and candle makers.
Guitar player singing his own ballads to the ocean at Esalen. What a surprise to find him tucked away by a tree while we ate our lunch.

I suspect they may be painful to watch. Seinfeld's Bee Movie ads were hard for me to watch as a fan of his show. Pitching a product like Vista will be even harder to pull off.
They'll be ads about nothing.
I wonder who was more desperate, Seinfeld or Microsoft.
Still, at least he's not promoting Cuil. Yet.
Given the reaction to Vista, I'm not sure that Seinfeld was the best choice in any case -- imagine what the commercials would be like with the "Soup Nazi"...
"I'd like a laptop with XP"
"Please sir, if it's ok, I'd really rather have XP"
Imagine the business you could build with $300 million. And they're spending that just to promote a marginal new OS.
Great comments all, that was hilarious lifeinasia.
An OS that's like cake.
I guess Quadrille got it right! :)
Longer.....funnier.......Still about nothing
Basing ads on a TV show that was popular twenty years ago isn't very innovative.
Why the heck don't they use that money to actually fix the problems?
Nah. Too obvious.
Some people might get the idea that Bill Gates knows his company has created a piece of [insert your favorite derogatory noun here] and is looking to jump into a new career in comedy.
The two ads so far don't make a lot of sense yet. This might just be a case of setting the stage for something much more meaningful and relevant.
Then again it could be yet another example of MSFT not knowing how to make meaningful or relevant ads.
Now I think about it, this seems somewhat like the Seinfeld/Superman commercials for (...um, was it AMEX?) I seem to remember that the ones I saw were mildly humorous, but I wasn't hanging on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one.
We know computers. The people who Microsoft are trying to attract with these commercials are people who don't know computers. Our opinion on these commercials is then basically worthless as Microsoft may consider us a lost cause to begin with. Best thing to do is ask an average person what they think of the commercials...
But that was a one-off commercial whereas there will be MSFT ads a plenty.
And let's not forget, you can't put a price on the value of discussions like this one and others that are taking place on almost every website like WebmasterWorld where social interaction, whether personal or business, is a key component.
Everyone who gives a darn knows these ads are for Vista even if the ads hardly give us a clue what they're about. Sadly, everyone who gives a darn has probably already made up their mind about Vista.
Hmm, did I just contradict my previous post? Typical. :)

Neglected diseases
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The neglected diseases are a group of tropical infections which are especially endemic in low-income populations in developing regions of Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Different organizations define the set of diseases differently. In sub-Saharan Africa, the impact of these diseases as a group is comparable to malaria and tuberculosis.[1]Some of these diseases have known preventive measures or acute medical treatments which are available in the developed world but which are not universally available in poorer areas. In some cases, the treatments are relatively inexpensive. For example, the treatment for schistosomiasis is USD $0.20 per child per year.[2] Nevertheless, control of neglected diseases is estimated to require funding of between US$2 billion to US$3 billion over the next five to seven years.[3]
These diseases are contrasted with the big three diseases (HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria), which generally receive greater treatment and research funding. The neglected diseases can also make HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis more deadly.[4]. However, some pharmaceutical companies have committed to donating all the drug therapies required and mass drug administration have successfully accomplished in several countries.[5]
Contents |
List of diseases
Neglected tropical diseases include in order of decreasing prevalence: roundworm (ascariasis), whipworm (trichuriasis), hookworm (necatoriasis, ancylostomiasis), snail fever (schistosomiasis), elephantiasis (lymphatic filariasis), trachoma, Kala-azar black fever (leishmaniasis), Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis), leprosy, African sleeping sickness (African trypanosomiasis), Guinea worm (dracunculiasis), and buruli ulcer.[6]
Trypanosomal parasites
- Kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis, a severe form of leishmaniasis) - Treatments exist, most of them costly and/or toxic. Resistance to pentavalent antimonials is spreading in parts of India. Disease is fatal if untreated. Vaccines are under development as of 2006. Infection is spread by the bite of sandflies.
- African Sleeping Sickness (African trypanosomiasis) - Disease was nearly eradicated in the 20th century, but relaxation in control methods has led to resurgence. Treatments exist, but have not changed much since colonial times due to lack of further research. The current forms of treatment are ineffective, highly toxic and resistance is spreading. This disease is always fatal if untreated but the outcome is often the same with the existing treatment. Infection is spread by the bite of the tsetse fly.
- Chagas disease (American trypanosomiasis) - No vaccine exists for Chagas disease. Treatment for early infection exists but is uneconomical and not authorized as such, current drugs have severe side effects. Chagas disease does not kill victims rapidly, instead causing years of debilitating chronic symptoms. Bites from South American assassin bugs allow the disease to spread.
Worm (helminth) parasites
- Schistosomiasis - Inexpensive praziquantel can treat this disease, but cannot prevent reinfection. Other treatments are harder to obtain in the developing world. Multiple vaccines are under development. Schistosoma species have a complex life cycle that alternates between humans and freshwater snails; infection occurs upon contact with contaminated water. This disease is unique in that damage is not caused by the worms themselves, but rather by the large volume of eggs that the worms produce.[7]
- Lymphatic Filariasis (causes elephantiasis) - Effective antihelminthic treatments have been widely used in a cost-effective manner [8]
- Onchocerciasis (river blindness) - Antihelminthic treatment exists, prevention may also involve insect control
- Drancunculiasis (guinea worm) - Eradication goal is 2009, as of 2007
Soil-transmitted helminthiases
- Ascariasis (roundworm) - Antihelminthic treatments exist, prevention involves food and sewage sanitation
- Trichuriasis (whipworm) - Antihelminthic treatments exist, prevention involves food and sewage sanitation
- Hookworm - Antihelminthic treatments exist, prevention involves food and sewage sanitation
- Strongyloidiasis - Antihelminthic treatments exist, prevention involves sewage sanitation and prevention of malnutrition
Bacterial infections
- Leprosy - Antibiotic treatments exist which can clear the infection; BCG vaccine has some preventative effect.
- Buruli ulcer - Surgical and antibiotic interventions are recommended
- Trachoma - Antibiotic treatments exist, prevention involves interpersonal hygiene
- Cholera - Cholera is caused by Vibrio cholerae bacteria living in contaminated drinking water. The disease presents with severe, watery diarrhea after a short incubation period lasting from zero to five days. Cholera is especially dangerous because it can kill patients in less than 24 hours from rapid dehydration. Antibacterial treatments can cure the disease, but most effective is isotonic fluid replacement therapy, which reduces deaths to 1% of cases. Cholera can be prevented with limited efficacy by two oral vaccines, but access to clean drinking water provides a guarantee of prevention.
Viral infections
- Yellow fever - A vaccine exists for Yellow fever. Yellow fever, like some other neglected diseases, is caused by a flavivirus
- Dengue fever - Dengue fever is also caused by a flavivirus, and is spread by the bite of the A. Aegypti mosquito. Dengue fever is not usually fatal, but infection with one of four serotypes can increase later susceptibility to other serotypes, resulting in the highly dangerous Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). No treatment for either type of disease exists beyond palliative care.
- Japanese Encephalitis - Japanese encephalitis is also caused by a flavivirus. The disease is spread by Culex tritaeniorhynchus mosquitoes.
Incentives for treating diseases
The Priority Review Voucher is an incentive for companies to invest in new drugs and vaccines for tropical diseases. A provision of the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (HR 3580) awards a transferable "priority review voucher" to any company that obtains approval for a treatment for one of the listed diseases. The voucher can later be used to accelerate review of an unrelated drug. This program is for all tropical diseases and includes medicines for malaria and tuberculosis. The first voucher given was for Coartem, a malaria treatment.[9] It does not use or define the term "neglected" though most of the diseases listed are often included on lists of neglected diseases.
The prize was proposed by Duke University faculty Henry Grabowski, Jeffrey Moe, and David Ridley in their 2006 Health Affairs paper: "Developing Drugs for Developing Countries."[10] In 2007 United States Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) sponsored an amendment to the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007. President George W. Bush signed the bill in September 2007.

In iMovie 11 Essential Training, author Garrick Chow illustrates the process of creating high-quality video using iMovie 11. The course covers the entire post-production process, from importing audio, video, and still images to adding effects, creating trailers, and sharing your finished projects on social networks. Also included are tutorials on adjusting audio levels, automatically identifying clips that include faces, and using green screen effects. Exercise files accompany the course.
So now that we have a new empty project created, its time to start assembling our clips into a movie. Now, how you do this is entirely up to you and the type of project you are creating. You might prefer to make quick selections of shots and drag them into your project before worrying about cleaning them up or trimming them, or you might want to plan out your entire movie shot by shot; it's really up to you. In this chapter, we are going to be putting together the Surfing Clips we imported previously. If you want to work along with me but haven't imported the clips yet, you'll want to do so now. Remember, you can import clips from your hard drive by choosing File > Import and then Movies.
So, we are going to grab portions of these 12 clips, and we are going to try to grab the most interesting shots to use in the movie and to do our best to leave out the boring stuff. And that really should be your mantra: no matter what type of event you're editing together, whether it's vacation footage or birthday party video, or your kid's little league game, get to the good stuff. One of the worst things your friends and family can do to you is to make you sit down and watch unedited video of their vacation directly from their video camera. If you're lucky, you have never had to experience 10 minutes of footage of an airplane wing. But you have iMovie, so you can save your friends and families from having to watch shots of you accidentally pointing the camera at your feet and actually put together a snappy video of your events' highlights that people will actually enjoy watching.
But that's enough preaching for now. Let's see how we add clips to our project. Now, we have actually seen this already, but let's review. I am going to work in a mostly linear fashion here, meaning I am going to pick out what I want the first shot in my movie to be, then pick the second one, and go from there. You may prefer to just skim through and find the good stuff, mark it as a favorite, and then drag everything into the project and then worry about arranging everything afterwards. That's totally fine, but I am going to work linearly here. I am also going to go to the View menu and turn off Playhead Info, because if you recall, we turned that on earlier, and I just don't need to see all the stuff popping up as I am rolling over my clips.
So, I am going to go to View > Playhead Info, and now it's turned off. And I think I want to open my movie with the shot of the surfboard being waxed. Now when I roll over, you can see this is a 10-second clip, and that's probably too long to spend on this shot. So, I am going to skim my mouse over the clip, and you can see there is the part here where he just repositions the board, right there. And maybe I will just pick up the clip from there. So I am going to click and drag, and let's grab maybe about five seconds of that footage.
So you can see a five seconds right next to my cursor there. I release and I will just drag that into my project. I will be showing you how to fine-tune your selection in an upcoming movie, but for now this is fine, and that'll be the opening shot of my movie. Eventually I am going to add a title and some music over it, but we will leave it as is for now. Now I am thinking I am going to have a couple of quick shots of our surfer putting on his gear. So looking at the footage, it looks like the picture goes a little out of focus right about there, so I am going to grab some footage starting right after that.
In fact, I might want to grab a little bit of the out-of-focus footage because I think it can act as sort of a nice transition. So, I am going to click and drag and grab maybe about three seconds there. And we will that into the project. Now, if you are trying to find a relatively short piece of footage, remember you can extend the filmstrip display to show more frames and make it easier to find what you're looking for by using the slider down here. I am going to leave mine set to five seconds, though. Next, we have this clip of the wetsuit being zipped up. Now at the end of this clip, we see our subject's face, and I kind of like how it's revealed there at the end, so I want to make sure that's included.
I want to place my cursor right after he looks at the camera and kind of smiles a little bit and then looks away. And I want to end this clip with that shot, so I am going to drag backwards. I am going to click and then drag to the left, to maybe right before he zips up the suit here. So you can see the zipper coming across right there, so maybe I will grab it right there. We will drag that selection up, and now it's been added to our project.
Next, maybe some shots of the waves in front of the pier here, maybe only a quick shot of that. So let's grab, maybe... let's do about three seconds. You can sort of see how our project is coming together now. Maybe next, we will have him looking out over the ocean here. Now you can see the cameras are getting into place here, so let's grab after that, have a chunk there.
And maybe next we will have this shot of him walking to the water. Now again, this is a 10-second shot, so probably too long for what I want here. Maybe I will grab it right before he throws the surfboard onto the water there. That looks good, and we will drag that in. Now notice I can drag this anywhere, if I want to place the shot in between other shots. But in this case, I am doing everything linearly, so I am just going to drop it in that blank area to put at the end. So we have added some shots to our project, and our movie is well underway.
And this is basically all you do: find the shots you want to use and drag them into the project. Let's play what we have so far. Let's drag my cursor to the beginning and press the Spacebar. (clip playing) So, it's still pretty rough at this point.
We have got some issues with sound being louder in some clips than others. Maybe some of the clips are too long or too short. But we are going to continue to work on it. Next, we are going to start looking how to make more precise selections and edits to our clips.

To the Editor:
OK, so Grand County won't secede from Colorado. Not that it would have happened. Nor do I think that was the original intent of all that bluster. However, the plan that was approved by our county commissioners seems to involve having the Colorado senate apportioned on a county by county bases. Of course the Republican Party would love this.
The 2012 election resulted in Mitt Romney winning 36 Colorado counties while Barack Obama won 28. Obama, however, captured 51 percent of the overall Colorado vote versus 46 percent for Romney.
Also there are five counties that can be considered "bullet-proof" Democratic verses 10 "bullet-proof" Republican.
Generally speaking, those most solidly Republican counties are those with the least population.
This tilts the Colorado Senate electoral playing field solidly in the Republicans' favor.
The argument that rural areas are not adequately represented begs the question: What are the negative effects of that? It also begs the question: Why should a rural voter have more say about state policy than an urban voter?
Since a Republican vote is apparently worth more than a Democratic vote, I guess that makes perfect sense.

There is much to celebrate in life..
Last night Laura and I went out to dinner for the first time in ages. Our personal economy is still getting hammered by the tough times about us. Monday I got really irritated with all the worry about money, war, the tech market and general round the house kind of things. So I remembered that every really happy period in my life has occurred after a personal decision to prioritize my happiness.
I shared this with Laura that evening and it seems we're going to give it a shot. So three days into it Laura gets her annual employee review back and she did extremely well. So this is a good sign. Certainly just a coincidence but still a happy event. We certainly won't mind the extra salary.
So what is happiness. Well it means lots of things to lots of different people. To me it means to celebrate what we have, what we have accomplished and what we are working toward. Now I'm 37 years old so celebrating something means something much different to me know than it did 15~20 years ago. When i was a younger man celebrate involved killing brain cells and numbing myself to the awkwardness of youth. Now celebrating is something I do every day by taking a few minutes to listen to a CD, or read a book that isn't work related or just talk with Laura about our days.
I suppose happiness means other things too. Regardless of it's many meanings, we're prioritizing it now. Not in a short sighted way. There's a lot of satisfaction and happiness in seeing a long project to completion. But we're looking it how we spend our evenings and weekends and we're doing whatever we can to make them as happy as possible.
I guess this seems like an obvious thing to do from another's perspective. But it's not really that hard to forget to stay focused on your own happiness. At least it appears we strayed from it.

You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.
You water its furrows abundantly, You settle its ridges,
You soften it with showers, You bless its growth.
You have crowned the year with Your bounty,

The pastures of the wilderness drip,

And the valleys are covered with grain;
They shout for joy, yes, they sing."

Simple Things To Enjoy
imple things to enjoy can be found within your reach..
"Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains,
at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long courses of the rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motions of the stars,
and they pass by themselves
without wondering. "
Simple things like views from a window..
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

The Hurried Life
The traffic. The noise. The smog perhaps drain your energy. Living in the city is quite a challenge. You wake in the morning with a fresh new start.
Then as soon as you step outside. You think life is not that perfect at all...
Have you look up while driving and stopping on your way to work. How about in a gas station? Or in a traffic jam?
Copyright © Regina
Look up and you will find delight.
All are taken in Manila. March 2009

Life is sometimes a matter of dealing with all the possibilities. No matter what. We must keep going. This is what I believe..
The earth is filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters covers the sea
Hold on to it. Life must go on in this hurried life.

Pelvic pain is pain that occurs mostly or only in the lower abdomen area. It may be steady pain, or pain that comes and goes.
In some cases the pain may be severe and might get in the way of daily activities. In other cases, the pain might be dull and occur only during the menstrual cycle. Pelvic pain also describes pain that occurs during sexual intercourse.
In general, pelvic pain signals that there might be a problem with one of the organs in your pelvic area: uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, vagina, urinary tract, lower intestines, or rectum. Or the pain might be a symptom of infection. Sometimes pelvic pain can be caused by muscular and skeletal problems.
There are some common health conditions that are often associated with pelvic pain, including:
Vulvodynia describes chronic pain or discomfort of the vulva (the external female genitalia). Vulvodynia can cause burning, stinging, irritation, or rawness of the vulva. The type of pain can be different for each woman. Pain may move around or always be in the same place. It can be constant, or come and go.
Endometriosis occurs when tissues that usually line a woman's uterus instead grow outside the uterus. These tissues often grow on the surfaces of organs in the pelvis or abdomen, where they are not supposed to grow. The two most common symptoms of endometriosis are pain and infertility.
Uterine Fibroids are the most common, non-cancerous tumors in women of childbearing age. The fibroids are made of muscle cells and other tissues that grow within and around the wall of the uterus. Symptoms can include heavy or painful periods, pain during sex, and lower back pain, among others.
Your health care provider will likely run a number of tests to find the cause of your pain. Treatment will depend on what is causing your pelvic pain, how intense the pain is, and how often the pain occurs.
Your health care provider may prescribe pain medication or antibiotics to treat the pain. For other conditions, treatment may be more involved, such as:

Book Chapter Cooperation, collaboration, challenge: how to work with the changing nature of educational audiences in museums
Citation: Lynda Kelly and Pauline Fitzgerald. 2011. Cooperation, collaboration, challenge: how to work with the changing nature of educational audiences in museums. Nicole Mockler and Judyth Sachs (ed). pp 77-88 In Rethinking Educational Practice Through Reflexive Inquiry. (http://www.springer.com/education+%26+language/learning+%26+instruction/book/978-94-007-0804-4). Springer. ISBN 978-94-007-0804-4
Abstract:Since the publication of George Hein's seminal work, Learning in Museums (1998), museums have endeavoured to provide constructivist learning experiences for educational audiences. However, the nature of contemporary educational practice has necessitated that museums develop deeper and more sustained relationships with their audiences which, by doing so, presents many challenges for museums. A key component of this change is the need for ongoing and sustained consultation in an equal, respectful and two-way relationship, where both the audience and the museum are transformed in some way. This represents a major shift for both museums and museum professionals, many of whom have long been used to a one-to-many relationship with their audiences, rather than the many-to-many model currently being championed by a range of museum thinkers.
This chapter considers how these challenges can be met through presenting the groundbreaking work of the Australian Museum, in partnership with Professor Susan Groundwater-Smith and the Coalition of Knowledge Building Schools, who have been working together since 2003 in consulting and collaborating with a range of educational audiences, including both young people and teachers. A key component of this work was the close involvement of Museum staff, who have now taken on board many of the techniques, as well as the mindset developed through this partnership, when consulting with other audiences.

My daughter has a tooth growing behind her baby tooth which is now loose. Will it shift on it's own? Does anyone have experience with this? I know she needs to go to the dentist, but I'm concerned and hoping I get some reassurance.
DS had that happen. I ended up pulling on his tooth.
I pulled it down and later that day both his front teeth came out, both were loose. It was stuck on something in there or on each other. LOL.
It was that or the dentist, he choose to let me try first.
I would try to pull it or take her to the dentist. It probably will not shift back 100% right. -
Your welcome :)
Quoting sophiesmom07:

Same thing happen to my ds with 3 of his teeth. I took him to the dentist he said they call it shark teeth. He said he could pull or wait till they fell out. All 3 baby teeth have fallen out and the adult teeth are moving were they are supposed to be.Good to know! Thanks!

i am now at the part of formatting my hard drive to WBFS format using WBFS Manager... but when i try formatting the hard drive nothing haapends...
im on vista x32bit
can anyone help please
How do you actually download game covers using WBFS Manager? Is it automatic? I have the "download covers from the web" option checked. What am I missing?
Thank you!
If your Wii is connected to the internet then let your USB Loader download the covers, it's much more convient. Or you could look at this post HERE, it may help with your problem.
Hi Folks,
I am trying to clone games off my 1.5 Seagate drive and put them on a segate 500 gb drive. Both have been formatted correctly, but when I try to clone the drive I get an error msg. It states "not enough memory in temporary folder, choose a different temperoray folder wiht at least 4.8gb free. How can I fix this. I am on windows xp. Thanks for any help
I just did a clone myself, what version of wbfs manager are you using? if you havent messed with any setting it should just clone right away.
I am using version 3.0
ok under the edit tab go to options and check where it is dumping your temp files if you need to create al temp folder on your desktop and direct the temp files there.
can't i just clone from the drive that has the games to the hd that I formatted to accept the files?
thanks, I figured it out.

It is a treat taking my daughter out on her first excursions in the city. At just about 8 months old, she already adores heading out with mom, dad and brother on buggy adventures. We recently visited the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum with baby in tow, and her smiles and laughter let us all know that she enjoyed herself. Namely, in the butterfly room, where butterflies big and small fluttered around, sometimes even landing upon us. She was also fascinated by the turtles. My son, age 9, was intrigued by snake feeding time, whereupon two snakes dipped into a bowl of goldfish for a luscious buffet. Also, I've learned that one is never too old nor too young for the water play area. I would say though, that this museum is perfect for the early childhood set.
We also had a chance to check out the museum's latest exhibit, Sanctuary: Flight of the Majestic Monarch. Did you know that monarch butterflies embark on a an annual 2,500 mile journey from Canada to Michoacan, Mexico, stopping in our city on the way? We learned much about the toughness and resiliance of these delicately winged creatures, as well as about their struggle with increasing deforestation.
The museum has some wonderful programs this summer, including a new partnership with American Girl. Of note:
Family Art with Hector Duarte (Fridays May 28, June 4, 18, 25, July 2, 9, 16 & Saturday July 10) Join acclaimed muralist Hector Duarte as you create your own work of art inspired by the Museum's special exhibition Sanctuary: Flight of the Majestic Monarch. Free with Museum admission.
May 28 & June 11, 4:15 p.m. at the Museum, 7:30 p.m. at the American Girl Cafe Discover the wonders of nature-just like Lanie, our 2010 Girl of the Year! Your day starts with a visit to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, where you and your girl will see a spectacular private butterfly release and learn how to spot birds in the wild. Then, come to American Girl Place for a delicious meal in the Cafe. Transportation to and from the museum provided by Chicago Gray Line. Sponsored by The Westin Michigan Avenue Chicago. Cost: $40, reservations required. Call 877-247-5223 to register.
And this weekend!
Tea with the Turtles (Sunday, May 23, Noon to 3 p.m.) Join us for an afternoon of tea with the turtles! Learn all about the different turtles at the Museum through fun and games, get up-close with the different turtle species and watch them enjoy a meal. This event is sponsored by Argo Tea.

A Senior Lament
Your creatinine It is borderline And your heart doesn't Beat in the proper time. Your thyroid is low, The veins just below Are totally blocked. This impedes the flow Of blood to your lungs And blood to your heart In short you are rapidly Falling apart. If you snort this inhaler It may stop the failure Of breathing as deep as you need to. If you swallow this pill (And can still pay the bill) You might learn what rewards it will lead to. Yes, it takes many hours every day To do all the things the doctors say.
Oh the joys of old age And becoming a sage Are not all they're cracked up to be So take care of your bod And reap the reward Of the years that remain disease free.
