While the digital painting begins life as one of my original photos taken with my old Pentax K1000 film 35mm SLR the process to alter it is labor-intensive (it's not a photo ran through a filter). The final product looks much more painterly with highly saturated colors than like a photograph. I use both Photoshop and Painter to achieve the final results.

Stretching for Health
Lack of flexibility is now seen to be a major cause of general health problems and sports injury and is being linked to everything from stress. back pain, and even osteoarthritis. It also means that nagging injuries, especially around your joints take longer to heal.
Latest studies show that up to 60 percent of the general population with bad backs and knees have tight hamstrings and hips and the main cause is a lack of flexibility.
Active-Isolated Stretching (AI)
Olympians have been employing Active-Isolated Stretching (AI) now for about 10 years, but it has only recently been brought to the public's attention.
I have used this technique on my clients for quite a while now with great success, while adding renewed life and spring to tired out muscles. AI stretching prevents injury, as conventional stretching can cause real harm such as muscle pulls and tears.
AI stretching does what stretching is supposed to do; it transports oxygen to sore muscles and quickly removes toxins so recovery is faster. It also works as a deep massage technique because it activates muscle fibres during the actual stretch.
How to Stretch
Before stretching, dress in loose clothing and try and acquire a five-foot length of rope and tie a loop in the end. The purpose of this is to loop the end of rope around the exercising appendage to squeeze the last couple of inches of stretch from the exercise.
Find a comfortable place to stretch either on your bed, a carpeted floor or on a mat.
Isolate the muscle or group you want to stretch then contract the muscle opposite. This causes the isolated muscle or group to relax straight away and when it does it is ready to stretch.
Gently and quickly stretch the isolated muscle until it can't be stretched any further; now give yourself a gentle pull with your hands or rope. Go as far as you can and then hold the stretch for no more than 2 seconds then release, do this for a total of 5 repetitions on the isolated muscle or group.
The reason for just a 2-second stretch is because when a muscle realizes that it is being forced into a stretch it contracts to protect itself from being overstretched.
If you can beat this contraction you'll be well on the way to a greater Range of Motion.
Remember to hold for no more than 2 seconds, release, return to the normal position and repeat for the five repetitions. Try not to have any hesitations between stretches and make it as fluid as possible. Try to stretch every day if possible, remember to:
Work one target muscle at a time.
Contract the muscle that is opposite the targeted muscle, which will relax in preparation of its stretch.
Stretch it gently and quickly.
Release it before it realizes that it has been stretched and goes into its protective contraction.
Below are two exercises that can be done straight away even while you are at work to stretch that tension and stress from of your body.
1. Lie down on the floor with your buttocks against a wall and your legs straight up the wall. Slowly flex your toes towards your knees, hold for two seconds and repeat five times. This will loosen up your lower back and stretch your hamstrings and hips giving instant relief for tired backs.
This exercise can be done while at the office anytime you start to feel that stress and tension building up.
2. Sitting in a chair and putting one leg out straight, flex your toes towards your knee, now lean towards that foot, stretching your hands towards it and letting your head and shoulders follow, hold for two seconds and repeat five times. This will create a stretch right across your lower back and neck.
A flexible body is:
More efficient
More easily trained for strength and endurance
Enjoys more range of motion
Stays balanced more easily and is less prone to injury
Recovers from workouts more quickly, and feels better.

We're not talking about Miller, I'm talking about the blatant bias shown toward Laverty by the Brit commentary team. I agree, it was a racing incident. But had Kenan been the one who collided with Lascorz, Whit and Barnicle would have had the daggers out. They hate Kenan, as it seems most Brits do... Now go and take a lie down, preferably with a pillow over your face... c*ck! 7 agree 2 disagree
jasper - Unregistered August 01, 2010 6:54 PM Everyone congratulates laverty on a great race, forgetting that he wiped out lascorz and tamburini big time with a really bad move at the start. These are the sort of crashes that end careers or worse. I am sure buckmaster will be quiet on this one 6 agree 1 disagree

"Enchanted Evening Barbie and the Second Coming: A Memoir" by Rheta Grimsley Johnson
Even as a child in Montgomery, this future reporter was already a skeptic. At an early age she had doubts about Santa Claus, even though she wanted a Barbie doll in the worst way, and before long these doubts spread to most conventional metaphysics, although as a citizen of the South, she has tended to keep her "doubts" to herself.
By Don Noble
Readers are familiar with Johnson's writings from her thousands of columns, written over nearly thirty years, for the "Memphis Commercial Appeal," the "Atlanta Journal-Constitution" and in syndication for King Features. They appear in more than 50 newspapers nationwide.
In the last few years, however, in addition to her human interest columns, Johnson has worked in a longer form. In 2008 she published the delightful "Poor Man's Provence: Finding Myself in Cajun Louisiana." This memoir tells the story of how she and her husband, Don, bought first a houseboat, then a little house in Henderson, Louisiana, in Cajun Country. Over a period of 13 years, they spent all the time they could there, getting to know their generous, kind and colorful neighbors and their neighbors' ways until the place was home and the neighbors became family. It was pretty much all "upside."
Now Johnson has written a more serious, difficult and painfully candid book--a memoir of her personal and professional life from childhood until, really, the spring of 2009.
Even as a child in Montgomery, this future reporter was already a skeptic. At an early age she had doubts about Santa Claus, even though she wanted a Barbie doll in the worst way, and before long these doubts spread to most conventional metaphysics, although as a citizen of the South, she has tended to keep her "doubts" to herself.
Johnson tells of her time at Auburn where she was editor of "The Plainsman" and took on the administration or greedy local businessmen as she saw fit.
There she also met and married Jimmy Johnson, and with the optimism, energy and na?vet? of youth the two began a newspaper, the "St. Simon Sun." They worked like dogs, but even back in 1975 the newspaper business was an endangered species, and after seven exhausting months of reporting, writing, selling subscriptions, and selling ads, in short, doing everything, on Christmas Day, they folded.
Johnson went on to journalism jobs in Monroeville, Alabama, and then Memphis, where she established herself. Jimmy Johnson, who had always meant to be a cartoonist, succeeded, becoming the creator of the strip "Arlo and Janis," with the characters based on Jimmy and Rheta and named after Arlo Guthrie and Janis Joplin.
Their careers flourished but the marriage, unfortunately, did not. Johnson relates it this way: "living with Jimmy was just too easy for someone determined to make her life hard. I didn't trust the assurances he gave again and again that he would not leave me . . . [so] I did the most illogical logical thing I could think of. I left him."
It takes the wisdom of maturity to realize that one has behaved foolishly in the past and a heap of honesty to tell the world about it.
Johnson's life did not reach a calm harbor for some time to come, however. She took over Lewis Grizzard's column at the AJC when he died, and his fans couldn't stand it. His readers wanted the space left blank, one supposes.
After seven years in Atlanta, Johnson left. She never liked it anyway.
Johnson also tells the story of writing the biography of Charles Schulz, creator of "Peanuts," a generous and delightful man who, it turns out, suffered from depression and was somewhat agoraphobic!
The last third of the memoir is sweet and then bittersweet. After some, shall we say, inappropriate men, Johnson "fell hopelessly in love" with Don Grierson, a journalism professor from UAB. This marriage was a treasure, and they both knew it and appreciated it. It was all the more terrible, then, when Grierson died suddenly in March of 2009, and all the more remarkable that Johnson was able to transmute at least a part of her grief into several powerful columns and into this moving, utterly believable memoir.
This review was originally broadcast on Alabama Public Radio. Don Noble is host of the Alabama Public Television literary interview show "Bookmark." His latest book is "A State of Laughter: Comic Fiction from Alabama."

Kramer's Original First Name Was "Conrad," and More from 'Seinfeld's Lost Episode
Screen Crush has a piece out today diving deep into a lost 1990 episode of Seinfeld, titled "The Bet," that was canceled during the rehearsal process due to being too controversial. The existence of the dark season two episode, in which Elaine buys a gun to defend herself, has been public knowledge for years, but Screen Crush's feature includes some new details and an interview with the episode's writer Larry Charles and director Tom Cherones.
Charles reveals that he had written Kramer's first name into the script for the first time and that it was Conrad, not Cosmo as it was later revealed in a season six episode. Here's Charles explaining:


text:
Enrique (Kiki) S. Camarena was born on July 26, 1947 in Mexicali, Mexico. He graduated from Calexico High School in Calexico, California in 1966, and in 1968 he joined the U.S. Marine Corps. After serving in the Marine Corps for two years, he joined the Calexico Police Department as a Criminal Investigator in 1970. In May of 1973, Kiki started working as a Narcotics Investigator with the El Centro Police Department.
He stayed with the El Centro P.D. until June 28, 1974 when he joined the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). His first assignment as a Special Agent with DEA was in a familiar place - Calexico, California. In 1977, after three years in Calexico, he was reassigned to the Fresno District Office in Northern California. Four years later, Kiki received transfer orders to Mexico, where he would work out of the Guadalajara Resident Office. For four and one-half years in Mexico, Kiki remained on the trail of the country's biggest marijuana and cocaine traffickers. And in early 1985, he was extremely close to unlocking a multi-billon dollar drug pipeline. However, before he was able to expose the drug trafficking operations to the public, he was kidnapped on February 7, 1985. On that fateful day, while headed to a luncheon with his wife, Mika, Kiki was surrounded by five armed men who threw him into a car and sped away. That was the last time anyone but his kidnappers would see him alive.
It is believed that Special Agent Camarena's death actually occurred two days later, but his body was not discovered until March 5, 1985. He was 37 years old and was survived by his wife, Mika and their three children, Enrique, Daniel and Erik. During his 11 years with DEA, Kiki received two Sustained Superior Performance Awards, a Special Achievement Award and, posthumously, the Administrator's Award of Honor, the highest award granted by DEA.
Shortly after Kiki's death, Congressman, Duncan Hunter, and high school friend Henry Lozano launched Camarena Clubs in Kiki's hometown of Calexico, California. Hundreds of club members including Calexico High School teacher David Dhillon wore red ribbons and pledged to lead drug-free lives to honor the sacrifices made by Kiki Camarena and others on behalf of all Americans.
Red Ribbon Week eventually gained momentum throughout California and later the United States. In 1985, club members presented the "Camarena Club Proclamation" to then First Lady Nancy Reagan, bringing it national attention. Later that summer, parent groups in California, Illinois, and Virginia began promoting the wearing of Red Ribbons nationwide during late October. The campaign was then formalized in 1988 with President and Mrs. Reagan serving as honorary chairpersons. Today, the eight-day celebration is sponsored by the National Family Partnership (previously known as the Federation of Parents for Drug Free Youth), and has become the annual catalyst to show intolerance for drugs in our schools, work places, and communities. Each year, during the last week in October, more than 80 million young people and adults show their commitment to a healthy, drug-free life by wearing or displaying the Red Ribbon.

Capital One can't do that..Can they?
by Vernassoc, Window Shopper
- Created: September 7, 2010, 10:20 am
My partner and I founded our business in 1994. We've maintained a sterling credit record by making paying creditors on time a priority. Even though the past 18- to 24-month period has been particularly difficult, this summer was the worst. (I swear there is some sort of corporate A/P summer camp that the A/P folks at the companies owing us money were all attending.) Cash flow has been next to nil, but we still managed to pay the minimums on our credit accounts.
Somehow, however, we missed a payment to Capital One in August. The only explanation I can come up with is that I didn't see (perhaps didn't even receive) the electronic statement. Within a week of not receiving the payment, Captial One began calling me at my hom;not my offic-on the Sunday of a holiday weekend to demand payment. (We're a C corp, by the way.) I told the caller I couldn't possibly help him until I returned to work today. First thing this AM I checked into it, could find no statement or payment for August, and discovered that Capital One has upped their (already usurious) 17.9% interest rate to 29.4%!.
Via EFT I paid them $1,000 which more than covers the amount required, then called customer 'service.' The woman I spoke with was snooty and dismissive and told me that they will not consider a request to reduce the interest rate until 'you can prove that you warrant such consideration.' (Apparently a 12-13 year history of reliable payments is not sufficient proof.) They require 'timely payment for a minimum of 6 to 12 months, at which time you may call us again, and we may consider an interest rate reduction.' When I asked to speak to her manager, she replied that she was not authorized to 'transfer calls.'
Too many words (I apologize), but I'm at a loss about how to proceed. Our present cash flow will not accommodate paying the entire balance. No hints concerning appropriate contact info can be found on the Capital One site. So I'm throwing this out here in part to vent a little, but more in hopes someone has had similar experience and can suggest a method to get in touch with Capital One and, at least, plead my case.
Thanks for reading and for any suggestions you may have.
BizResearcher | Window Shopper | 9/8/2010 - 11:53 am
Have you considered writing a letter to someone higher up the chain at Capital One? You should be able to find names and contact information on the company's web site under 'Investors' at the bottom of the home page of their web site. Writing a strongly worded letter to the right person may not only help you, but also let the company know that some of their employees may need training in proper customer service procedures.
If you get no satisfaction, then you may want to consider closing the account and transferring the balance to a new card from a more customer-focused company.
cashforbiz | Performer | 9/11/2010 - 5:27 pm
I wish I could add a magic bullet to your situation, but I had similar problems with US Bank. I had a great response from HSBC in a similar situation.
I have had success reversing these usurious rates and reversing those ridiculous late payment charges, which mysteriously appear on my electronically paid accounts from time to time, by calling back and insisting on a supervisor from the first time someone answers the call. Often that tact gets the problem resolved without ever reaching a supervisor.
I am not a conspiract theorist, but I have found a tremendous effort to get us (customers) to move to electronic statements, and a resulting lack even of appearance of customer service. I am convinced the credit card services are augmenting revenues by adding various (unwarranted) service charges on the accounts, knowing that many people are unwilling to invest in a 20-40 minute phone process to get an unwarranted $20 - 30 fee reversed. (I often pay my kids to sit ont he line and get me as soon as a person actually answers the phone).
MarkAse | Contributor | 9/13/2010 - 4:24 pm
Although I can't necessary speak to your situation and I'm guessing that this type of thing is outside most expertise on this forum, I have been able to have Cap 1 remove a late payment on a personal account out of an oversight before.
It isn't easy, but generally speaking if you call them and tell them your story, eventually you find someone who is willing to listen.

This large scale installation, called "DJ Luz" (DJ Light) was created by English designer Dominic Harris at Interactive Cinimod studio in London. It was created for the energy company Endesa as the cornerstone of their Christmas celebrations in Lima, Peru.
The installation includes 400 channels of lighting control and a multi-directional sound system connected to 85 giant globes of light, each capable of displaying millions of colors. "Guest DJs" orchestrate the display by using their arms to point and gesture. These movements are then translated in real-time into beautiful movements of light and generative sound across the space.

Watch A Beatboxer Go Nuts With A Leap Motion
Think the Leap Motion is a mere mouse replacement? Think again. Interfaces like these will open the doors to new, creative modes of personal expression.
Pmmpt. Putuhchika pmmpt puh pmmpt. Is there any music more gutturally satisfying than that of a good beatboxer? A wind instrument might amplify and augment the vibrations of your mouth, but a beatboxer is a creator and amplifier in one. Every rhythm is backed by an implication of lips, teeth, and spit. It's the tangential opposite of electronic music, which is calculated, poised, and predictably digital.
Now, Ryo Fujimoto of Humanelectro is channeling the two mediums through his own body. Using a Leap Motion—along with the platform's $10 Geco MIDI software—he's developed a unique performance that combines beatboxing with his mouth and filters and synthesizers through the motions of his hands. With his left hand, he can lift, rotate, and slide three different synths. With his right hand, he gestures to induce flanger, delay, beat repeat, and more.
But what's particularly neat is that Fujimoto pulls off his custom-made gestures so fluidly that he seems to be sitting in a room of sound and shaping waveforms at will.
"I think that people and electronic music could be more free," Fujimoto tells Co.Design. "Normally, electronic musicians aren't even a little bit free on live stage because they are face to face with the laptop all the time. Just move."
Fujimoto isn't wrong. Just as we see rock bands leap around the stage while jamming guitars, so too can new input technologies redefine the experience of electronic music. And even more excitingly, the Leap Motions of the world have the potential to break us free of keys and strings, to blur the lines between dance and music, a performer and their art.

The police raid has brought to global attention and knowledge new layers of horrific abuses and exploitation of women and children in the country.
According to the report, these girls, between the ages of 15 and 17 years, were locked up and used to 'produce' babies, who were then allegedly sold for ritual witchcraft purposes or adoption. Unicef estimates that at least 10 children are sold daily across Nigeria.

Agencies, officials face increased social media scrutiny, known as 'sousveillance'
Friday - 12/16/2011, 6:19pm EST
Lee Rainie, director, Pew Internet and American Life Project
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
With the explosion of social media and the expansion of mobile platforms, members of the public are better able to keep an eye on what's going on at federal agencies — and share that information with others.
Lee Rainie, the director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the growing trend of "sousveillance," a term created to describe, bottom-up surveillance. (The "sur" is replaced by "sous," the French for "from below").
Rainie, who recently gave a presentation before the inter-agency Federal Web Managers Council on the subject, said the idea that you could always be on "Candid Camera," so to speak, is "one of the hallmarks of digital life now."
There are now three types of "-veillance," Rainie explained:
- Surveillance, which is top-down monitoring often from government, police, etc.
- Sousveillance. "People in ordinary circumstances who are able to watch, record and talk about people who have power," such as government leaders or police, Rainie said.
- Coveillance. This is "everybody watching everybody else," Rainie said, citing the everyday use of social media to catch up on friends' activities as an example.
"I think it's safe to say it would be wise to conduct their jobs thinking that somehow, somewhere it might show up on YouTube, or someone's blog or someone's picture feed in someone's Facebook account," Rainie said. "And never assume things that might seem private or might seem to be done in the quiet corners of government won't eventually find their way out into the world."
This carries implications for how agency leaders write emails, carry phone conversations and act in public, he added.
But the added scrutiny can also have benefits, he said. Namely, that federal employees and managers who engage in social media can provide an authentic, human face to the government.

Bought a new TV. Is this an issue?
I bought a new Samsung smart TV which is LED/LCD . While the tv is great I noticed some sort of white spots on my tv when the screen is dark being played in a dark room . Look at the picture I provided below. Is this an issue? You really dont see it except when lights are off and on a black screen otherwise its hard to notice. It gets a bit on my nerves because while watching a movie it has black horizontal bars above and below the picture . That means i can notice the bottom lights all the movie. Is this repairable ? Should I take back? Or all TVs are this way? To be honest , by this time I thought tv manufacturers had perfected the manufacturing process and there should be no such issues , especially on an expensive set like this one |

That´s clouding, I had that on one of my screens, and it never went away, well annoying... For me it started after warranty ran out so I could not return it.
Mine was LCD, my new one is LED (samsung series 5) and the blacks are amazing, should not be looking like that at all (unless its the media you are playing, try a blueray movie). As you just bought it, I would return it and get a replacement while you can. |

see if you have an option for local backlight dimming, that should take care of most of that.
otherwise, if it bothers you, take it back. You could also go into the store, and check out the floor model of the same tv see if it has the same problems. |

Happens a lot on LCD screens. If it is something that bothers you a lot, take it back and maybe get a plasma tv. They do not suffer from this issue.

I am pretty sure they wont take it back here where I live, customer service sucks |

Cheap TV's use white-LED backlights on the edge. The spots are probably on the places where the LED's enlighten the diffuser panel on the back of the screen.
It is the fate of the race for the thinnest. Get a CCFL doorstopper model with 8-10cm depth if this is not your liking. |

There is nothing wrong with your tv. That is just the LED backlighting that is projected behind the pixels.
Every LED tv except the high end (read $$$) models suffer from this. I was so annoyed by this actually that I returned my LED for a Plasma a few months back. That turned out to be the best choice I ever made. If you don't like Plasma, you may want to hold out and wait until OLED becomes mainstream.

i just bought this new , I paid $1380 for it. its serial is UA46ES6200 . @cloudsurfer I am sorry to hear about this. I have been waiting out to buy an HDTV since the Gears of War days (2006). when the time finally came , everyone was so amazed by how beautiful and sharp these new led/lcd tvs are . When I finally bought my tv , I hear they suffer from issues. All my life I have been hearing the issues were with the plasma tvs where they get picture burn-ins . I never heard there where issues with the LCD ones , at least not after 2010 . As for me , Plasma tvs are a lot less in variety (at least around here) so choihce will be limited , and in the shops the LCD ones always looked more beautiful or vibrant. Thats how I made my choice . I really am starting to hate todays culture of having to research everything you buy from USB sticks to home building material. Why cant we buy stuff that works as advertised |

I think that is what is called Localized Dimming. There are an array of LED's behind the screen and the TV is supposed to turn off the LED's if it does not need them. This is all about saving electricity. It also helps the TV produce blacker blacks, contributing to a supposed better picture quality. My old LG LED TV had that setting. I disabled it because when I was watching a dark movie at night, the whole screen was cloudy and made the picture quality very poor. I understand the reason behind Localized Dimming, but it just does not work correct. This is why I got rid of the LED and purchased a plasma. Untill they fix the pixelation, motion blur, and localized dimming, I will always buy a plasma. LED/LCD TV technologically will never have a better picture quality than LCD. LCD's cannot open and close fast enough to make a good picture quality. This is why I am waiting for OLED to come to the mass market. I have not seen an OLED set in person, so I cannot judge. If I were you, take back the Samsung and get a plasma. LG and Panasonic make an excellent plasma.

But ya, if you have OCD and this bothers you, I guess you could always pack it up, drive it back to the door, carry it to the counter, and get a new one. Then again, I guess if this bothers you enough to prompt you to post, you really should bring it back. |

LOL! Capitalism! Where the rich get richer and the poor....well...get poorer. I actually like reserching products before I spend my money. It is called being an informed consumer. Big corporations do not like people like me because I vote with my wallet. Most big corporations are hoping people just spend their money on what is advertised. Most big corporations want dumb consumers, so the core-political can run to the bank. |

LED appears more vibrant because it has a brighter light source. With plasma, the pixels themselves light up which results in much dimmer light. This could affect viewing in bright rooms, but in dark rooms plasma has the advantage as the dimmer screen is much easier on the eyes. In my experience however, plasma is bright enough even during the day. Plasma choice is limited for two reasons: on store displays a LED appears more vibrant and vivid because a store setting is always bright, and a Plasma consumes about twice the amount of energy of a LED set. So, the consumer will almost always go for LED, and the industry makes what the consumer wants...

Udhagamandalam: The rapidly proliferating weeds (water hyacinth) at the Ooty Lake are proving to be a difficult task to handle for the officials of the Public Works Department (PWD).
After holding discussions with the officials here on December 11, the Tourism Minister, Suresh Rajan, had announced that after the weeds were completely removed by the PWD and the job of preventing them from posing a problem would be entrusted to the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC), which was operating the boats at the lake.
The PWD officials had assured that the weeds would be removed by December 31. However, a good part of the lake continues to be covered by weeds. When this correspondent visited the lake on Sunday, A.K. Mishra, an engineer of the Thane-based Aireff Detox Incineration Limited, which was responsible for keeping the lake free of weeds till 2008, as per an agreement, said that though 82 labourers and necessary machinery had been engaged to remove the weeds before the end of the year, the job could not be completed since the weeds were multiplying very fast.
Middle of January
However, efforts were on to clear the water spread by the middle of January. Stating that the main problem was the entry of sewage, he said that it had also raised the pollution level. The Manager of the Boat House, G. Kannan, said that after the TTDC takes over the job of maintaining the lake, 10 workers would be pressed into service everyday to remove the weeds.

The House Hunt
Looking for a place to live is a lot like looking for a place to work. You may be the grooviest, quietest, most responsible prospect ever to pound the pavement, but the employer--or, in this case, the landlord--doesn't know that. The best way to endear yourself to prospective landlords is by not wasting their time. First, boil down the possibilities; second, do as much of the paperwork as possible beforehand.
A look in the daily newspaper's classifieds can lead to a payoff, but remember that houses and apartments that get listed there are a mixed bag. Some have proven hard to foist off on someone; other rentals are in there because the owner either doesn't want to hassle with an agent or wants to save some money. Remember that, like great jobs, the best places to live don't get advertised.
Another route is to call a rental or property-management agency (they're listed under "Real Estate Rental Service" in the Yellow Pages). Most agencies maintain a recorded hotline of properties for rent. Typically, you'll be told an address, a description and how much the rent is. Go by, take a look and remember not to disturb the tenants. (If you do disturb them, say you're someone else.)
Which brings us to our best source, namely friends and family. When they ask you how you are, don't tell them you're fine. You're not fine--you've got a shopping cart and a short-dog of Night Train breathing down your neck. Tell them you're looking for a place to live. Keep telling them long after they're sick of hearing it, because they just might have a friend or neighbor who's looking for a cool tenant--which is you.
This method not only is the cheapest, it's also the most reliable--there's less competition (sometimes none!), and a personal recommendation counts for more than the snazziest "renter's résumé." That said, you'll still want one.
The Paper Shuffle
All rental agencies and most private landlords require a credit report. There are two kinds, the rental credit report and the personal credit report. It's possible to pick up the first on the same day it's requested; the second takes two working days to process and is mailed directly to the applicant. The difference is that the rental credit report is designed to be read by a landlord (meaning it's nearly indecipherable to the layperson) while the personal credit report is in plain English and includes a form to be filled out in case there is an error on the report. Either can be gotten for $8 each at:
Credit Bureau of Santa Cruz County
Reports can also be obtained through Experian Consumer Assistance at 831/476-8923 or 800/682-7654. They'll mail you the report and bill your credit card.
To avoid looking like a moron while trying to remember who your landlord before last was, get a generic rental application from the library or a stationery store. Even if a rental agency wants you to fill out one of their forms, you'll have the information on hand.
Also, make yourself a renter's résumé--check the Rent Tech site (a San Francisco rental service) for an excellent template.
While you're at it, write résumés for your pets. Sure, they're sweet, cuddly and wouldn't dream of staining the carpet--but a prospective landlord doesn't know that. Have your present landlord write a note saying that Fluffy was quiet and didn't damage the property.
If you smoke, quit (wink wink).
Don't discuss your hobbies. Almost all hobbies make noise, are messy or attract unusual people, which are just what landlords don't like. If pressed, say you love your job too much to have any hobbies.
Last, but most important, be prepared to hand over your life savings in move-in costs. First month's rent and a deposit for a two-bedroom house can be $3,000 to $5,000 or more, and even higher if the bloodsucking weasel--er, landlord wants the last month's rent as well.
Pack 'Em Up
At last, you know where you're going. But how do you get all your stuff there?
First, go by the post office and pick up one of their handy moving kits. Not only does it contain forms for getting mail forwarded (up to 60 days for first-class mail), there's also a checklist covering everything from how far in advance to call the moving company (or reserve a truck), to how to pack, to how to decide what to get rid of before moving.
Have a yard sale, and price stuff to move. Put unwanted furniture out on the lawn with signs saying "free" and "gratis"; it actually works sometimes. Whenever friends drop by, hold stuff up and say, "Weren't you looking for one of these?"
Call the Public Works Department (831/429-3666) to get water and garbage service and Pacific Gas and Electric (800/743-5000) to get utilities connected.
Call the phone company and get a new phone number.
Haul all your detritus to the dump, recycling center, homeless shelter or whoever else wants it and/or will take it.
To get a residential parking permit in Santa Cruz, go by the Parking Office downtown at 124 Locust St. They'll want to see a driver's license, the registration of the car(s) in question and proof of residency.
Next, find some cardboard boxes--lots of them, like 60 to 80 boxes for the contents of a two-bedroom house. Sometimes-reliable sources are grocery stores, liquor stores and any company that uses large amounts of paper. Call them up and ask them when and where they get rid of their cardboard.
An absolutely reliable way to be certain of having the right number of the right size boxes is to buy them. A "standard small" box (1.5 cubic feet), also called a "book/record" box, holds as much of something heavy, such as books, as an average adult can carry in one trip. A "standard medium" box (three cubic feet) is about the largest box adults can carry and still be able to see where they're going. Boxes cost about $1.50-$2.50 apiece; more for larger or fancier ones. Look under "Packaging Materials," "Packaging Service" and "Boxes--Corrugated & Fiber" in the Yellow Pages.
Don't forget to label the boxes, saying what's in them and what room they're supposed to go in. Use a fat black marking pen.
Move 'Em Out
Hopefully, if you plan to move your household yourself, you've been extra nice to all your friends who have pickup trucks and/or biceps the size of pumpkins. The other two methods, in increasing order of expense and decreasing order of effort, are:
Congratulations, you're in your new home! Now it's your turn to be a little pissant. Note every crack, smudge, tatter, drip, funny smell and anything that is broken, missing, malfunctioning or otherwise doesn't match what your lease says. If the place hasn't been painted, write it down. If the walls are full of nails and picture hooks, write that down, even if you would have put them up anyway. If there are soot marks behind the kitchen stove, write it down. Remember that when it comes time for you to move again, your landlord can and will use any excuse to withhold portions of your deposit.
And remember: as long as you pay the rent on time and don't damage the property, what you do there is none of the landlord's business. Enjoy!

The 34-year-old defender has made 26 appearances this season, moving on from the injury problems that often undermined his spell in England with Sunderland and Derby.
Anderson told the club's official website: "I've always said the day I don't feel up for the rigours of the SPL, I'll stop there and then but right now, I'm as fit as I have been and I'm really looking forward to at least another year playing.
"I started my career at Aberdeen and it's fitting that I'll finish my playing career here as well."
Aberdeen chief executive Duncan Fraser added: "Russell's influence both on and off the park is absolutely immense and he is a club captain in the true sense of the word.
"He has always said he wants to carry on playing for as long as he feels able to do so and everyone at the Club is delighted for him."

CBS News has begun a migration to high-definition news acquisition. In March, the network's owned-and-operated stations at WBZ-TV, in Boston, and WBBM-TV, in Chicago, will be the first to use Sony's XDCAM HD Professional Disc system for its local programming. The other 15 CBS stations will begin converting to XDCAM HD throughout 2006 and 2007.
HD news is a hot topic on the minds of many in the industry, and it's critical to have the right technology in place when it's time to make the switch, said Bob Ross, senior vice president of East Coast Operations at CBS Television.
CBS network news crews have used Sony XDCAM SD camcorders for more than a year. As those units are replaced, the network will upgrade to XDCAM HD.
XDCAM HD and SD camcorders use the same optical media for recording, meaning there is no cost premium for acquiring HD news content. Because of this, camera operators will begin shooting in HD even though the station infrastructures may not yet support broadcasting in HD, said Bob Seidel, vice president of advanced technology.
In October 2005, CBS News began acquiring and accepting content using the Sony optical system, resulting in a significantly streamlined news operation and production workflow that allowed footage to be shot, edited and sent to air in a faster and more efficient manner.
According to Ross, many of these same operational improvements and efficiencies are also expected to be realized once CBS stations adopt the XDCAM HD technology.

Hi guys As per title, as we know the RS4 normally dont make the claimed 414bhp so as the S5 is a detuned version of the engine, do they make the 354bhp claimed or in general are they also a bit down? Thanks
I could be wrong, but my old S3 just feels quicker. I'm sure the S5 has LONG legs, so maybe feels a bit lethargic compared to what I'm used to.
I test drove one whilst thinking about it - I think if they make the power or not isnt so much the issue most of the time - its just they are soooo heavy that a stage 1 S3 feels quicker, an A5 3.0 TDI q does not feel any slower than an S5 imho. They are nice cars but if you want to feel fast they will not deliver at all.
the on-boost surges of the TDI or S3 could make it feel faster than a NA V8.... also bear in mind that it's the mid-range torque that makes a car "feel" quick, e.g. the 3.0T (supercharged) V6 "only" prodiuces 310/328bhp and the 4.2 V8 346-349bhp.... but the V6 gets 4.9sec 0-60 and the V8 5.2/5.3sec and feels a quicker too. I know the A6 has the 3.0T in a detuned state, but even at 300bhp, it's a quick car, but not an RS/S car quick.... I test drove one last week, but I'm going to test-drive the 245PS and 204PS 3.0TDI's (in the A7) next week, once the ice and snow clears... there's a few of the A7's with the "BiTDI" (3.0TDI @ 313PS) that are creeping closer to my budget, but not sure if it's worth the extra... might even settle for the 204PS with all the lower insurance / tax / fuel bills that it comes with... but need to test drive it first.

Arts in Sacramento The landscape of
Sacramento's arts scene has changed in the past decade with a
recession and two large-scale venues (Mondavi and Three Stages)

taking the biggest hit. After years of deficit the ballet is
performing this year's Nutcracker without a live orchestra for the
first time and the philharmonic is considering merging with the
opera to stay afloat. Read the NPR story about Dayton,

him to Dr. Juricek at the Pinole Pet Hospital, who saved Frankie's

Overnighting in the Ocean
Ok, I'm a little entranced about the idea of sailing out a dozen or so miles into the ocean and spending the night.
Im gathering if you are too close, you'll wake up grounded on the beach. If you are far enough out, you couldn't lay anchor.
What can you do, or how far out would one go (Im guessing 20 miles) and just drift and sleep the night? (Naturally far away from shipping lanes)
I've heard a little about "heave to" as a way to minimize your drift, as well as pinning the help to one side.
Is this an awful idea or just suck it up and anchor?

Mathematical Modeling for Immunocolloid Labeling | |
Authors: | C. Raymond and P. Milewksi |

Keywords: | immunocolloid labeling, immunogold labeling, mathematical model, reaction-diffusion model, surface-volume reaction |
Abstract: | For many biological applications, it is becoming increasingly important to extend imaging capabilities to simultaneously identify multiple molecular species in order to gain insight into the structural and functional elements of cells. A key part of this drive is the ability to rationally optimize various labeling techniques, which in turn requires an understanding of the basic physical processes operating during the labeling process, and how these processes interact. The kinetics of the immunocolloid labeling process are typically modeled using a Langmuir kinetic equation [1]. However, very different behavior which can not be explained by a Langmuirtype model has been noted in certain experiments [2], [3]. We develop a mathematical model for the labeling process which exhibits these two behaviors in different parameter limits, gives some insight into how to optimize the labeling process, and can easily be extended to more complicated situations. |

The idea for the summit came about when more than 140 community members gathered in February 2014 to discuss strategies to help shape the future of education in the school district.
The purpose of the community conversation was to actively engage Chippewa Valley residents in developing a clear, shared strategic vision to address the evolving needs of students.
One of the top priorities identified during that meeting was student health including mental health.
A community team was assembled to plan and implement the Teen Mental Health Summit. Team members include staff from The Chippewa Falls Area Unified School District, 3D Community Health of HSHS Sacred Heart and St. Joseph's hospitals, Marshfield Clinic, L.E. Phillips-Libertas Treatment Center and other concerned citizens and clergy.
Summit topics will include adverse childhood experiences; crisis response in the Chippewa Valley; effects of alcohol and other drugs on the brain; and Question, Persuade and Refer - a technique used to help those contemplating suicide.
David Walsh, nationally-acclaimed author of the book "Why Do They Act That Way?: A Survival Guide to the Adolescent Brain for You and Your Teen," will present to both groups.
Registration is required. RSVP by noon on Monday, June 8, by visiting www.cfsd.chipfalls.k12.us and click the "Teen Mental Health Summit" icon.

Partners Walking Club—
The Partners of St. Joseph's Hospital will help motivate and encourage fitness with their new Partners Walking Club. The Partners Walking Club is free and will meet every Wednesday at noon at the Duck Pond gazebo in Irvine Park, weather permitting.
BEGINNING NOVEMBER 5TH - WINTER LOCATION - Club will meet at Chippewa Family YMCA and will use the indoor track. Meet in the front entrance.
Every Wednesday, a member of the Partners of St. Joseph's Hospital will meet for a walk at the Duck Pond (SPRING/SUMMER) or the Chippewa Valley Family YMCA (LATE FALL/WINTER).
"The reason we decided to start a Walking Club was not only to encourage fitness, but also to promote connections," says Diane Fish, coordinator of the Partners Walking Club. "We know being active helps promote good mental health and it's easier to do when you have someone else to join you."
The program is part of Chippewa Health Improvement Partnership's Compassionate City initiative.
