The Palestinian Authority will bring Israel before the International Criminal Court for war crimes, its foreign minister said.
"We will go to the ICJ (International Court of Justice), and put our signature on it. Very soon we will be a (sovereign) state. That is enough for the court to start an investigation," Riyad al-Malki, told the French news agency AFP from Bogata.
Before attending the inauguration of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, Malki was in The Hague to discuss asking the court to open a case against Israel.
"I asked the ICJ to start an official investigation, to see if what Israel has done in the past 33 days reaches the level of war crimes," Malki said.
The PA is currently not a member of the court and its status as a country is unclear.
Following a 72-hour cease-fire that ended Friday morning, Palestinian factions in Gaza began firing rockets again into Israel. Israel has responded with targeted rocket and naval attacks, but has not entered Gaza with ground troops.
Israel has been accused of war crimes and violating international humanitarian law for the deaths of Gaza civilians, as well as striking United Nations buildings sheltering displaced Gazans.

Cara thanks,
The example you present is rather awesome, what about on the more "vector" side of examples though?
I'm not a psd layer guy, not something I want to do.
Thanks ~Marcus
Cara_design said
Wow that's a tough one! There are so many!
I guess it depends the category you are aiming for – flyers, graphics etc are pretty high quality a detailed whereas the likes of vectors are not so much graphically amazing but are pixel perfect and tight in design.
The bottom line is attention to detail and refinement.
Slightly off topic we just bought this: http://graphicriver.net/item/wild-night-flyer-template/5196689 its incredibly detailed and amazing use of shadows etc.

Leo can put the heart into Tony Blair's lost hinterland
by Cristina Odone Published
Welcome, Leo. You've given everyone something to smile about. The peace plan in Northern Ireland may be in peril again, Sierra Leone still in crisis, and football hooligans bashing each other in; but amid the voices of gloom and doom, your birth at the Chelsea and Westminster raised a little cheer.
You may not be quite the "most politically important baby since the reign of Henry VIII", but you're very obviously needed. You're the crowd-pleaser Papa had to have to fend off his slipping popularity; and you're the happy distraction from the dour business of problem-busting - whether it be crime, asylum-seekers or the NHS. Moreover, you're here to remind us of the Prime Minister's hinterland.
A politician's hinterland is all-important, as Denis Healey once said. If the politico didn't show an interest in something outside the Pugin playpen, everyone saw him as a sad bastard who needed to get a life. The hinterland provides, like shading in a drawing, depth: the illusion of a third dimension to the otherwise flat image. It may be made up of different elements: an amateur interest, a sport, even a collection will do. Churchill had his watercolours (as did Hitler); Harold Wilson had, or claimed to have, his football (as does Gordon Brown). And Healey was virtually a Renaissance man - keen on literature, music and even the odd journalistic assignment. These pursuits don't necessarily add gravitas to the politician, or prove his judgement. But they do reassure the public that their man or woman is not just a careerist politico whose breadth of interest stretches between Westminster and Whitehall, and who plots late into the night his retort to the barb received today in the House.
The hinterland is necessary not because it lends a populist touch to the Olympian, but because ordinary folk increasingly think of politics as a dirty game, and don't want their representatives mired in its muck. New Labour has expanded the hinterland to become the heartland: no longer limited to an area of pleasurable pursuits, it now includes emotional space. This may be because the Cabinet boasts only a few well-rounded individuals who enjoy plays or sketch sea views; or because the PM's touchy-feely ways were not as much an act adopted during the campaign as a natural extension of his personality and that of those he gathered around himself. In any event, new Labour's big names all tend to their emotional heartland; and their leader positively encourages them to do so. There is Clare Short, whose highly combustive temper and highly charged reunion with her adopted son have been played to the hilt, conveying a warm-hearted and rebellious persona that defies any notion of sinister spin. There is Mo, with her cancer and her unemployed husband. Her hugs and kisses suggest a kind heart, while her outrageous expletives speak of someone who shoots from the hip. Who better to counter accusations of a calculating, power-crazed government machine? And for a while, there was Tony himself: a protective paterfamilias who went to church on Sundays, was visibly moved when the Princess of Wales was killed, and who sought to visit Kosovo and share in the pain of the war victims there.
But it has been some time now since the public has had a glimpse of Tony's hinterland - or heart; and the rumblings of discontent have grown alarming as they portray a power freak at once hard and shallow, obsessed with focus groups but out of touch with people.
So welcome, Leo: what better way to fix the fixers' image than to produce a baby? Who can say Papa's a superficial lightweight who dances now to Alastair's tune, now to Mandy's, when here you are, proof of his deep commitment to the family and the future? And who would believe in a control freak when here he stands, surrounded by the spewing, screaming mess that is you? Your first lesson learnt, then, Leo: the hinterland is key. Those who have it, flaunt it; those who don't, fail.

Leave him in jail, divorce him and find someone that will not hurt you.
Read the question you just posted and answer it yourself...
This is the reason that police hate domestic violence calls.
That's exactly right.
Why WOULD you help someone who hurt you ? Why wouldn't you value yourself and your safety more ?
I believe she will take him back
Sadly, you're probably correct.
I'm so glad !!! Very, very good---I wish you nothing but joy and happiness from here on. You deserve it. ;)
No he'll do it again. See a divorce lawyer post haste.
If you want to get beaten up again, or possibly killed, then yes, go ahead.
My opinion on this is no, you should not help him. And further, you should leave him and not give him the opportunity to do it again. Men who are violent toward women seem to never reform, in fact, they often escalate.
I agree fully. And if you help get him out it shows him he still has control over you. And he will do it again and then once more you will help him get out. What if you have children? You gonna put them through the same sick circle of violence? Leave him there....
I agree with your suggestion boo
**** no...why is this even a question?
I believe she will take him back
yeah I do too :/
Absolutely not, if he did it once he will do it again. Get out why the getting is good. Go to a shelter if you have to. Why would you even ask the question? He hurt you!
Only you can decide that - if I was you I would be grateful for the peace & the rest!
Why would you ?
No, you dumb ***, no
Shes not a dumb *** many women ask this question on a daily basis. It isn't as simple and you seem to think it is.
Its very simple, I dealt with the exact same thing a few years ago. So go take a butthurt pill
I have also dealt with this. And although I got out many people never do. And it is hard for me to believe that someone who has gone through this would be so...un-understanding of the situation.
Or even go to the extent of calling names. Obviously the emotionally abusive chain has extended...pity.
I do understand, some people just need a mean answer to get **** inti their heads
And some people need at least one person on their side. I can see we may not agree on this. And thats what sites like this are for. To get all the sides covered and answered. :)
Eh. I guess you're right.
Please don't, he will never learn or change, he's playing on your vulnerability. Talk to someone. I promise you he will hurt you again and this is domestic violence. You're only rewarding his behaviour if you do, and will make you more unsafe. I work in this area and believe me, it can get much worse for you.
before you do that .. just remember why he was put in there in the first place !
Absolutely NOT!!! You're enabling his behavior, you're contributing to the cycle of abuse.
Let the piece of **** rot if he gets away with it once<br />
He will do it again.
Hell no! If he is there for hurting you let him think about it.
Let him be there...He needs to learn his lesson

By Meg Wallace, Social Media Manager, Passport Career
Applying for your first job or internship can be nerve-racking—especially when seeking an internationalposition. Here are some tips to build a strong foundation and get you started!
- Step Back & Reflect
In order to identify the appropriate jobs or internships in other countries, you first need to take some time to reflect and answer these 4 questions.
- What are you goals? Think of this as a checklist for your ideal position. What are your must have requirements? What can you live without? What are you not willing to compromise on?
- What are your strengths and value-added? Start by listing out all of the things you are good at or that you enjoy doing. Then, break down this list to develop a list of your strengths and abilities.
- What are your weaknesses? In most countries, the interviewer will ask you about your weaknesses in some sort of culturally-appropriate way. We all have them. The key is being able to recognize your weaknesses and develop a plan on how to both address them and how to convey to the interviewer the positive outcome in addressing them.
- Research & Brainstorm Global Career Options
If you have access to Passport Career, there are several sections in each the Country Portfolios that will help you research options. Be sure to read through the Job Search Overview, the Top Employers, and/or the Internships sections to identify the key employment/internship areas for the country and cities of interest to you. If you don't have access to Passport Career, then you'll want to identify employment trends and needs in your country and city of interest by researching business-related websites, speaking with professionals who live or previously lived there, and brainstorming possibilities by exploring job posting sites (not for the purpose of applying, but for researching general opportunities).
- Draft a Country-Specific Resume/CV
You will want to create a draft of your resume/CV as you will need to tailor it to meet the needs and interests of each employer. Write down all of your experience—both paid and unpaid. You will need to draft a resume/CV specific to the style of your destination country. Every country has its own style of resume, and many countries refer to it as a "CV." Passport Career members will find detailed guidance, analyses and samples of country-specific resumes for 80 countries in the Country Portfolios. If you do not have access to Passport Career, you will need to identify the general format and style for your country of interest and develop it according to their expectations. Some countries, such as Germany, expect a photo on your CV and some countries expect you to include your birthdate, marital status and a variety of other personal information.
- Identify International Jobs & Internships
Once you have completed the first three steps, start looking for different positions and internships in your country of interest. Reach out to industry leaders or mentors for suggested job or internship sites in your field. If you have access to Passport Career, check out the jobs and internships on the International Job/Internship Portal, which is updated daily with more than one million opportunities in 203 countries. You will also find country-specific and city-specific job boards that are recommended by global career experts. These are found in each of the Country Portfolios, and will provide you access to millions of additional opportunities around the world. Passport Career members should also attend the weekly Global Career Webinars for tips and strategies on international job searches. If you attend the International Resumes/CV Webinar, you can submit your country-specific resume/CV for a free review by a global career expert!
- It's Time to Apply for International Jobs & Internships!
Once you have identified a job or internship that you want to apply for, sit down with your resume/CV and highlight the most relevant skills and experience. Be sure there are no unexplained time gaps, but feel free to highlight different key responsibilities or relevant courses for each application. Do the same for your cover letter, using your goals, strengths and weaknesses as a guideline. Be sure to identify your motivation for applying to the position or internship as well as what you will bring to the table—your value-added! Employers want skilled and dedicated employees, not one or the other. Don't forget to spell check your resume, application and cover letter before you send it. Always be sure to get a second set of eyes to review it for clarity, spelling and appropriateness (for the country, culture and position).
Passport Career provides more detailed career and cultural information and extensive resources about finding a job, internship, or alternative career opportunity in over 80 countries. If your organization, embassy, university/college, library, or other institution would like access to our country portfolios (15,000+ pages of expert content for 80+ countries and 250+ cities) to share with your students, employees, spouses/partners, and others managing a national or international career transition, please click here to contact us (or send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com) regarding a free, live, online demo and details on how to obtain a license to access Passport Career.

Great post for anyone looking on trying to improve their cover letter. I will make sure to add this site to my favorites!
Awesome post! This reminds me of when I worked in the airlines. Although I never had an international job the company took me all over the world and I had some nice lay overs. Since then I've wanted to work overseas so i'm glad you've outlined some tips for finding an international job.

At Generations Health and Wellness Center Drs. Denny & Mandy specialize in working with pregnant women, infants and children. They are trained and certified in the Webster Technique, and routinely complete continuing education courses in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care to address the needs of young and young-
Healthy Pregnancy
Chiropractic during pregnancy pays specific attention to the enhancement of both the woman's nervous system and musculoskeletal system, thus lessening the pain and discomfort often associated with pregnancy and labor. Chiropractic utilizes techniques specific to the pregnant woman to address the hormonal changes, laxity of connective ligaments and shifts in weight-
We utilize the Webster Technique (www.icpa4kids.com), a pregnancy-
Many women are referred from their OB/GYN or Midwife because research indicates that a woman who undergoes chiropractic care during pregnancy often times experiences less discomfort during delivery and can expect up to a 39% reduction in labor time. Come benefit from our pregnancy pillows (you can actually lay face down!!) and see why women are raving about chiropractic care during their pregnancy.
Healthy Birth
During prenatal chiropractic care, Drs. Denny & Mandy analyze and adjusts the sacrum throughout pregnancy to let the baby comfortably maneuver into the vertex position. The results include an easier birth and optimal health benefits for both mother and newborn. Research indicates that a woman who undergoes chiropractic care during pregnancy often times experiences less discomfort during delivery and can expect up to a 39% reduction in labor time. With respect to the Webster Technique, there also has been a high reported success rate of babies turning to the normal vertex position despite breech presentations.
A Lifesaver
"As a professional midwife and a beneficiary of chiropractic care, I would recommend Generations Health and Wellness Center to anyone. The chiropractic care I received there during the last trimester of my pregnancy was a lifesaver. I was having hip and sacral problems, but Mandy's adjustments kept everything aligned and functioning properly until the baby came."

Polls open quietly in one-sided Chad election
By Pascal Fletcher
NDJAMENA (Reuters) – Voters in Chad trickled to the polls
on Wednesday in a one-sided election expected to keep President
Idriss Deby in power, despite an opposition boycott and a rebel
threat of violence.
Deby, an ex-army chief who seized control of the former
French colony in 1990 and won elections in 1996 and 2001, is
seen winning a third five-year term because he faces no serious
challenge from four contenders who are mostly government
His supporters present him as a guarantor of stability
against the spillover of conflict from the violence-torn Darfur
region of neighboring Sudan. Deby accuses the Sudanese
government of trying to overthrow him.
But critics say his nearly 16-year rule has become
increasingly corrupt and dictatorial in the landlocked central
African state.
Polls opened at 0700 local (0600 GMT) but there was only a
trickle of early voters at makeshift polling stations set up
under trees on the dusty pavements of capital N'Djamena.
Most consisted of little more than a table, benches, a
plastic urn and a sheet hung from a tree for a voting booth.
Security appeared to be light, although soldiers and government
officials were among the first to vote.
"We want peace and development for the country," said
Zakaria Mary Mahamat Hassan, a 21-year-old student voting in
the central neighborhood Djambal Barh.
"You shouldn't do things by the gun, you should use the
ballot box," Mahamat Hassan said, adding he had voted for the
president. He criticized the opposition boycott and the rebel
threat to disrupt the polls.
Deby's army is on alert to thwart any threat from rebels
who raced in pickup trucks from the eastern border with Sudan
almost three weeks ago to raid N'Djamena, in the country's far
Fearing a fresh attack, some residents of the capital have
taken refuge across the river in nearby Cameroon in recent
The April 13 attack on N'Djamena was defeated by government
troops helped by intelligence passed on by a 1,200-strong
French military contingent stationed in Chad.
French Mirage jets, which fired a warning shot at one rebel

Government ministers call the boycott "anti-democratic" and

Many followers said the delay was a further test from God to persevere in their faith.
The hour of the apocalypse came quietly and went the same way, leaving those who believed that Saturday evening would mark the world's end confused, or more faithful, or just philosophical.
Believers had spent months warning the world of the pending cataclysm. Some had given away earthly belongings. Others took long journeys to be with loved ones. And there were those who drained their savings accounts.
All were responding to the May 21 doomsday message by Harold Camping, an 89—year—old retired civil engineer who has built a multi—million—dollar Christian media empire that publicizes his apocalyptic prediction.
"I had some scepticism but I was trying to push the scepticism away because I believe in God," said Keith Bauer - who hopped in his minivan in Maryland and drove his family 3,000 miles (5,000 kilometers) to California for the Rapture.
He started his day in the bright morning sun outside Mr. Camping's gated Oakland headquarters of Family Radio International.
"I was hoping for it because I think heaven would be a lot better than this earth," said Bauer, a tractor—trailer driver who began the voyage west last week, figuring that if he "worked last week, I wouldn't have gotten paid anyway, if the Rapture did happen."
According to Mr. Camping, the destruction was likely to have begun its worldwide march as it became 6 p.m. in the various time zones, although some believers said on Saturday the exact timing was never written in stone.
He had been projecting the apocalyptic prediction for years far and wide via broadcasts and websites.
In New York's Times Square, Robert Fitzpatrick, of Staten Island, said he was surprised when the six o'clock hour simply came and went. He had spent his own money to put up advertising about the end of the world.
"I can't tell you what I feel right now," he said, surrounded by tourists. "Obviously, I haven't understood it correctly because we're still here."
Many followers said the delay was a further test from God to persevere in their faith.
"It's still May 21 and God's going to bring it," said Family Radio's special projects coordinator Michael Garcia, who spent Saturday morning praying and drinking two last cups of coffee with his wife at home in Alameda. "When you say something and it doesn't happen, your pride is what's hurt. But who needs pride? God said he resists the proud and gives grace to the humble."
The Internet was alive with discussion, humorous or not, about the end of the world and its apparent failure to occur on cue. Many tweets declared Mr. Camping's prediction a dud or shared, tongue—in—cheek, their relief at not having to do weekend chores or take a shower.
The top trends on Twitter at midday included, at No. 1, "endofworldconfessions," followed by "myraptureplaylist."
As 6 p.m. approached in California, some 100 people gathered outside Family Radio International headquarters in Oakland, although it appeared none of the believers of the prophecy were among them. Camping's radio stations, TV channels, satellite broadcasts and website are controlled from a modest building sandwiched between an auto shop and a palm reader's business.
Christian leaders from across the spectrum widely dismissed the prophecy, and members of a local church concerned Mr. Camping's followers could slip into a deep depression come Sunday were part of the crowd outside Family Radio International. They held signs declaring Mr. Camping a false prophet as motorists drove by.
"The cold, hard reality is going to hit them that they did this, and it was false and they basically emptied out everything to follow a false teacher," the Rev. Jacob Denys, of the Milpitas—based Calvary Bible Church, said earlier. "We're not all about doom and gloom. Our message is a message of salvation and of hope."
About a dozen people in a partying mood were also outside Family Radio International, creating a carnival—like atmosphere as they strolled in a variety of costumes that portrayed monks, Jesus Christ and other figures.
"Am I relieved? Yeah. I've got a lot going on," Peter Erwin, a student from Oakland, said, with a hint of sarcasm. "Trying to get specific about the end of the world is crazy."
Revellers counted down the seconds before the anticipated hour, and people began dancing to music as the clock struck 6 p.m. Some released shoe—shaped helium balloons into the sky in an apparent reference to the Rapture.
Mr. Camping has preached that some 200 million people would be saved, and that those left behind would die in a series of scourges visiting Earth until the globe is consumed by a fireball on October 21.
Family Radio International's message has been broadcast in 61 languages. He has said that his earlier apocalyptic prediction in 1994 didn't come true because of a mathematical error.
"I'm not embarrassed about it. It was just the fact that it was premature," he told The Associated Press last month. But this time, he said, "there is ... no possibility that it will not happen."
As Saturday drew nearer, followers reported that donations grew, allowing Family Radio to spend millions on more than 5,000 billboards and 20 RVs plastered with the doomsday message. In 2009, the non-profit reported in IRS filings that it received $18.3 million in donations, and had assets of more than $104 million, including $34 million in stocks or other publicly traded securities.
Marie Exley, who helped put up apocalypse—themed billboards in Israel, Jordan and Lebanon, said the money allowed the non-profit to reach as many souls as possible.
She said she and her husband, mother and brother read the Bible and stayed close to the television news on Friday night awaiting word of an earthquake in the southern hemisphere. When that did not happen, she said fellow believers began reaching out to reassure one another of their faith.
"Some people were saying it was going to be an earthquake at that specific time in New Zealand and be a rolling judgment, but God is keeping us in our place and saying you may know the day but you don't know the hour," she said on Saturday, speaking from Bozeman, Montana. "The day is not over, it's just the morning, and we have to endure until the end."
Still, the world wasn't without its normal and sometimes dreadful disturbances on Saturday. Among them- a tornado killed one person and damaged at least 20 homes in Kansas, a 6.1—magnitude quake stuck 600 miles (1,100 kilometers) off New Zealand with no reports of injury, a much smaller quake, 3.6, was felt my many people Saturday evening in the San Francisco Bay area, and Iceland's most active volcano started erupting.
Mr. Camping, who lives a few miles (kilometers) from his radio station, was not home late morning on Saturday, and an additional attempt to seek comment from him late in the evening also was unsuccessful, with no one answering his front door.
Earlier in the day, Sheila Doan, 65, Camping's next—door—neighbour of 40 years, was outside gardening and said the worldwide spotlight on his May 21 forecast has attracted far more attention than the 1994 prediction.
Ms. Doan said she is a Christian and while she respects her neighbour, she doesn't share his views.
"I wouldn't consider Mr. Camping a close friend and wouldn't have him over for dinner or anything, but if he needs anything, we are there for him," Ms. Doan said.

Former TSA officer reveals widespread misery there
Being a TSA officer is a dream job for sadistic sociopaths, but for people who are able to sympathize, it's a nightmare. "I hated it from the beginning," writes former TSA officer Jason Edward Harrington, in an essay published in Politico Magazine. He recounts the daily shame of having to confiscate nail clippers from pilots (to prevent the pilots from using them to "hijack the very planes they were flying"), jars of homemade apple butter ("on the pretense that they could pose threats to national security") and a bottle of champagne from some Marines returning home from Afghanistan who wanted to share it with a young soldier who'd lost his legs to an I.E.D.

Symantec's acquisition of Brightmail, originally announced on 19 May, has cleared the customary regulatory approvals, and the transaction has been completed ahead of schedule.
The company believed the acquisition will position Symantec to provide customers with the most comprehensive messaging security solution in the industry.
Symantec said it will now focus on integrating Brightmail's anti-spam solutions into its gateway offerings, to create a new class of protection.
In addition, the company said it will look to use the huge volume of e-mail traffic passing through the Brightmail filtering process as a new source of early warning of impending threats.

This was the second time in our 3 week road trip of the west coast that we'd stayed in Monterey. And we wanted to stay somewhere different than the motel 6 last time. The price was a little more than what we wanted to spend as it was a room with 2 beds which we didn't need, but we were... More
very quite, nice location, people who run place are polite. rates very reasonable. free wifi and speed of wifi pretty good cont breakfast (not much, but rates are great and coffee is pretty good).. good location, as safeway, walgreens, and fast food walking distance.. went for ATT Pebble Beach golf event, and very close to shuttle to event.
Ive stayed there 3 times now.. the owner is so sweet and always ready to please- beautiful rooms, coffee and pastries in the morning- keep going back on my monthly visits... Im hooked-thank u for all my pleasant stays= lana pritchard
It is a simple hotel but you kinda feel like you're home. Additionally, it offers donuts, juice, milk and bagel as breakfast. It is located a little bit far from Canopy. If you're not by car, you must have some problems with the transporation to the main attractions of the city. The price is very fair.
The room and ensuite is spacious, it had a fridge which was useful and the bed was comfortable. So it was good value for money. It was quiet. We did not like the breakfast food and chose to eat elsewhere. The staff could be friendlier
First to the good points, the outside looks lovely, and inviting, and it was cheap. Free wi-fi worked well, bathroom was clean. For me, though it just seems a waste not to do more with it. The furnishings are hideous, old, and carpets look horrible. Check in was to the point, but a bit of charm would be welcome. Plus... More

Mandalay is rich in palaces, stupas, temples and pagodas, and is the main center of Buddhism and Burmese arts. Taking its name from Mandalay Hill (rising about 240m/787ft to the northeast of the palace), the city was founded by King Mindon in 1857. Sights of interest include the huge Shweyattaw Buddha, close to the hill, with its outstretched finger pointing towards the city; the Eindawya Pagoda, built in 1847 and covered in gold leaf; the Shwekyimyint Pagoda, containing the original Buddha image consecrated by Prince Minshinzaw during the Pagan period; and the Mahumuni Pagoda or 'Great Pagoda', housing the famous and revered Mahumuni image. Covered in gold leaf over the years by devout Buddhists, this image was brought from Arakan in 1784, although it is thought to be much older.

Good for washington.
As for the other conversations in this thread.. To be fair the bible is clearly cut against homosexuality. However, we live in a secular nation that should not be making certain things illegal simply because a really old book says it's wrong.
Polygamy should be legal as long as it involves consenting adults.
No matter how helpful the feature, how easy it is to disable, or how good your intentions, someone somewhere will hate it and think you're a monster for implementing it.- Anonymous Developer
Science is much more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking. This is central to its success. Science invites us to let the facts in, even when they don't conform to our preconceptions.
~ Carl Sagan
Mark 10
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
What God has joined together...do they really believe this? Or do they believe the priest, pastor or the state has done this? I believe God joins them together in marriage, just like this says. I give no more spiritual meaning to a marriage license than I would give to a driver's license, both issued by the state, just paper. Adam and Eve had no marriage license and it makes no sense for those who say they believe in scripture to think that a paper issued by a state is what makes a marriage valid.
So for a Christian to be so bent on getting the law of man to make sure that marriage is only between a man and a woman is almost as if they trust in the law of man...and not the law of God. They trust the sitting king in the form of a president and not the King. It is a strange thing to me and it is none of our business what anyone else does in their bedroom. This is simply another shiny toy to get the "christian right" in a tizzy, to stir them up...and it works.
Do you think homosexual acts should be (I said "should be" and not "is") illegal?
With all the love being advocated, why are some Christians (or other extreme religious people) so hateful?
I'm not really asking for answers to the above as it would all be speculation. Rather, I'm pointing out that there would be significant differences between making homosexual marriage (2 people) legal and making polygamy legal.
I am ok with keeping the marriage between two consenting adults. But within that confine we should not discriminate against anyone.
I am also ok (in fact more ok) with removing any reference to marriage from our government and from our laws. If marriage is truly a religious sacrament, don't shove your religious down my throat.
The punishment for ALL sin is death
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Let us make this clear, while many Christians would like to think they are better than a homosexual, according to the Bible they are as much as sinner as the next person! None of us deserve forgivness. However, God provides it to those who are willing to ask for it! Hope that cleared it up for you!

Track List
Album Notes
Benny Golson Quintet: Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Doug Watkins (bass); Arthur Taylor (drums).
Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on December 23, 1959. Originally released on New Jazz (84248). Includes liner notes by Joe Goldberg.
Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1995, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California).
Personnel: Benny Golson (tenor saxophone); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Art Taylor (drums).
Liner Note Author: Joe Goldberg.
Recording information: Englewood Cliffs, NJ (12/23/1959).
Benny Golson leads a potent quintet in this 1959 studio date; the tenor saxophonist is joined by pianist Tommy Flanagan, trombonist Curtis Fuller, bassist Doug Watkins, and drummer Art Taylor. Golson's snappy arrangement of "Baubles, Bangle and Beads" features Fuller's fine mute work and Flanagan's upbeat inventive solo before he introduces his big-toned tenor into the mix. Golson's slight vibrato and Taylor's swirling brushwork are highlights of his interpretation of "April in Paris." The remaining three tracks are all originals by the leader: the up-tempo hard bop cooker "Blue Streak," the jaunty strut "Tippin' on Thru," and the extended blues "Bob Hurd's Blues," which will get anyone's feet tapping. This is one of Benny Golson's best dates as a leader because one not only gets to enjoy his always strong arrangements, but his consistently first-rate tenor sax solos. Highly recommended. ~ Ken Dryden

The screen is small and the "retina" feature is useless for photography. I want a good viewing angle so the colors don't screw up as I move my head, and something that I can calibrate so prints match what I see on screen. More pixels might make a picture look better on screen but they don't help at all as far as processing an picture into a final product.
Things like the soldered ram, glued battery and non-standard drive interface make the rMBP a DOA product for anyone who's not an apple nut.
Among other uses, I have an album of about 50 of my favorite pictures I've taken on my iPad and there are times when in the middle of a shoot I'm having trouble getting the model to understand what I want. I'll pick up the iPad, choose an image, and show it to the model to get the idea across. Try doing that with a 15" laptop. While you're holding a camera, there's nothing to rest the laptop on, the model is under the lights, and you've got a make-up artist/sylist standing over your shoulder. It's also good to have a free hand while doing that to point at details
I also like the iPad to show clients finished pictures, it's so easy to load their album and hand it to them to flick through at their own rate. Sitting around a computer advancing the pics for them makes everyone feel less comfortable. No need for a holder when you hand them the iPad.

If you hand out images on tangible media, you have to take sales tax and forward it to the IRS. That increases the price of your service, adds a lot of extra paperwork for no reason.
Professional photographers deliver images electronically or with a hard drive, and there are IRS rules on how to do that so you don't get into tax trouble.
The retina MacBook pro will be a success among photographers as soon as calibration of the display has been proven reliable. Great display, great processing power, better cooling than even the classic MBPs of 2011, modern connectivity, responsive quality SSD will make it a must have or want very much item.
Posts like yours here come across misinformed and jealous/hateful and are not adding anything of value to the discussion.

Have you even seen the screen? Chances are no but you are pontificating as though you are an IPS expert. IPS you ask? That is the screen type found on the new RMBP. If that sounds familiar, it is the same screen technology found on the iPhone and iPad 3 (or whatever you want to call it). You go on to make and additional spurious statement alluding to the idea that the monitor is not able to be calibrated. Post a link saying this is not possible. Your final statement is simply a non-sequitor based on your opinion, yes your opinion. Ever hear the statement: "you are entitled to your opinion, but not your own facts"...

I'm in Canada, we don't have that sort of tax rule, it makes no difference to the CRA whether I distribute files on CD or hard drive or download. Why in the world should it matter? The customer is getting basically the same product in the same format from the same work for the same money. All photographers in my area deliver a tangible product. Usually a CD, sometimes prints.
|Jun 19, 2012, 07:20 AM
I'm not using my own facts, I never said you can't calibrate the rMPB, I only said calibration is a required ability for photographers. If there's a fact that you can't currently calibrate the rMBP, then you supplied it.
My original post said the factors that are most important for photography. Resolution simply isn't one of them. And you and others certainly aren't offering any reasons to go for that screen besides resolution.

Condescension begin...
Your quote: "The screen is small and the "retina" feature is useless for photography. I want a good viewing angle so the colors don't screw up as I move my head, and something that I can calibrate so prints match what I see on screen. More pixels might make a picture look better on screen but they don't help at all as far as processing an picture into a final product."
From this you imply that the retina screen is useless for photography, also that it cannot be calibrated...I guess the ability to change the resolution is waste on you. So now you speak for ALL photographers, even those who are undoubtedly better than you who are looking forward to processing their images on a far superior screen but then again you know so much about technology. It must truly be lonely in your society of one...
Different types of IPS panels? No, really? You mean this was never released on the Internet for public scrutiny? Ah, that's right you have a superior intellect and only you were privy to this technology let alone whether or not it is publicly disseminated to the IPS challenged. How lucky this forum is to have Einstein incarnate impart wisdom and knowledge as well as the ability to speak for ALL photographers. It must be lonely being you...
End condescension....

I dump libraries off monthly at my office on a pair of 2TB FW800 drives, but I like working at home as well to be with the pets.
-150GB+ of Aperture Libraries I am working on, and this is ONLY weddings. -200GB+ of day job stuff like HD video and AE projects, monstrous graphics etc.
I don't want to be forced into a position to be lugging around an external drive when my 750GB + 120GBSSD inside my MBP works perfectly. In a perfect world I would continue rocking this while drive capacities continue increasing. If I wanted to store my working projects on an External drive I would have never sold my imac for a MBP. That's the ENTIRE point.
Not to mention losing the idea to reliably backup a crucial project from my working HDD to the boot SSD in case of an emergency, which I actually had to do this weekend in a time crunch.
4. I would love a 17" but I agree with you on this point. 17inches is kind of comically big and I doubt apple sold many. I have my ACD in my office for when I need a large monitor. At home and on the road 15" works, and is probably too big but I do like the screen real estate over the 13".

I have only delivered images on a disc two times to date, deliviring primarily via FTP and Zenfolio for weddings. Yet I still want the optical drive. I would promptly remove it and place a real HDD where it was so I could have an SSD and HDD, like I do now.
I would love if the Retina model simply kept the old body with the optical bay. I wouldn't mind the extra weight or bulk, if there even was any one tiny bit.

My 2011 13" MBP suits me just fine for using LR4 and CS5. Maybe once this laptop goes, I'll consider it. However, seeing as I just purchased this a little less than a year ago, I'll be fine.

The 15" screen is plenty sufficient and the viewing angle is actually pretty amazing. I'm writing this on the retina display and even rotated it around a bunch to make sure. The viewing angle is something around 170 degrees. If you need to be able to see your images clearly beyond that, I don't know what to tell you.
As for calibration I can tell you that having loaded images onto the MBP-r that were previously published I see no alteration in color. Of course this will be lab dependent for those of you that run a print based business. Personally, I do strictly commercial and editorial work so there is a different workflow than say a wedding photographer or portrait studio.
The retina display is amazing for tethering in studio. Yes you could tether to an iPad but it's nowhere near the same. As I said in the review I posted, I would never have edited on a laptop before but this changes things. I'm no longer limited by an insufficient display and that is amazing for the quick turnaround on traveling projects. The only limitation I'm really not satisfied is the 256gb SSD, but it was my choice to get the base model because I plan to buy a multi-terabyte thunderbolt external pocket drive as soon as they come out.

Admittedly I like the sound of a high resolution display which also appears to cover 99% gamut (sRGB), but I think I'll wait and see. My current aim is the iMac +/- additional display...

I just spent 15 plus minutes at my local Apple store playing with Aperture on an RMBP. Boy, am I impressed. That machine is awesome. It won't replace my iMac but it may join it.

Sorry to bring back an old thread but here's the numbers on the rMBP Adobe RGB 1998 gamut:
As you can see, the rMBP sacrifices nearly 10% of gamut for resolution. By comparison here is the gamut for the New iPad:
Pretty much on par with it. What you get for a rMBP is practically an enlarged iPad screen.
When my Unibody Pro is calibrated and warmed up I've seen it deliver up to 80% gamut.
Sure you could say i'm just arguing numbers right now but I do see a difference between 60%, 70% and 80% gamut displays. It can be very tangible at times, especially when working with red hues.
In my personal opinion, the keyboard has also shrunk (Anand also noticed this) which made the keyboard less comfortable for me. Even as a Dvorak typist who deals with all sorts of keyboards with some discomfort, I can say this with confidence.
For a mobile photography workstation I would still recommend a Unibody MBP over the rMBP.

But I would be careful to go by numbers only. A much greater variety of purples, for example, wouldn't be such a great advantage.
There's are two numbers in the same review (which you didn't post), and those are black levels and contrast, and in these the rMBP is the clear winner. I'd say these numbers are more important. Black levels are one key number for good displays (the lower, the better), and contrast is also an important number.
For softproofing a laptop isn't that great anyway, no matter how great the screen, and that's where color gamut comes in. Professional quality displays come close to 98% of Adobe RGB color gamut.
There is one other number where the classic MBP wins, and that's the white level - it can go much brighter. But, again, I don't see this as a very big advantage. What photographers usually fight with is to get overly bright displays to a lower brightness level to do editing work on.
The one thing I'll take several good looks at before deciding is the glossiness of the display. Here the classic MBP has a clear advantage, but I have to check out how big an advantage that is.

Good or bad, I simply am required to deliver images on optical media there & then on a weekly basis to some of my clients;
having to lug an external DVD writer along is another factor to take into consideration, however big/small that factor is to different people.
Please stop making sweeping statements on issues that you seem you have absolutely no clue about; much less make comments like "trolling"; your behaviour is adding nothing to the discussion.

Black and White photography on this thing is amazing. I compared it directly to the Hi-Res anti glare and there was a depth to the Retina that was just missing from the other photo. Amazing

I had my first in-person look at the RMBP a few days ago when I had to go to the mall. Pretty impressive.
I DL'd and ran the little hack program that enabled native 2880x1800 res on the screen to try it out- it maddens me beyond belief that Apple would not let a user choose this resolution without resorting to hacks- I honestly hate how Apple too often cripples their great hardware with bonehead software. They do not know better than I do as to how I want to use the computer. Running at native 2880x1800 is amazing. And no nothing is too small, at least for me. I was standing well over an arm's length away (further than I would be able to reach down and use the keyboard) and I could still see/read everything just fine.
Nonetheless, the screen is pretty astonishing and I'm glad to see the "next level" of displays finally arrive. High DPI + IPS = win. Now I'm pretty sure I will keep my older MBP until I get a replacement that has a highDPI screen and IPS panel... I really wish they start making desktop displays like this soon too. 24" at 220dpi would be great.

MBP Retina - Photography
MBP 15' Retina, 768gb Flash, 16gb Ram: I use it for editing on the go, using Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, After Effects CS6, Photoshop CS6, and some other technical applications.
The MBP retina is amazing. Screen real estate works well with time lines, preview and program panels, etc for video editing. The retina is so clear that smaller fonts and screen display panels are easy to read. I am using my iMac 27 as a directed display for the MBP. Only when I am at the desk. Otherwise, I am able to take my project with me to SBUX and have a cup while I work. The wireless Mac keyboard and super mouse work well with the retina MBP as well.
Work flow with the MBP is same as working from my iMac at home. If you can spring for the cost, you will not be unhappy with performance. This is just my opinion. The MBP retina is a welcomed addition to my work flow.

In fact, reparations for niggas in desperation
from J. Cole (Ft. 50 Cent & Bas) – New York Times Lyrics on Genius
Reparations are the would-be compensation for descendants of slaves. Cole doesn't want the white man's money, he just wants his kids to have education and hope for a brighter future and a better education in hopes that the kids will learn about it and will prevent it from happening again.
In "New York Times", Cole would choose education over reparations, unlike his opinion on the first track of the album "Villuminati":
Fuck the education
Would ask for reparations
But I'm probably just gon' go and buy Ferraris, vroom

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Timberwolves are trying hard to land Pau Gasol.
If they have to part with the highest draft choice in franchise history after just one season, the Wolves appear ready to do it.
That much became clear leading up to the NBA draft on Thursday night, when Minnesota offered Derrick Williams in hopes of landing the second pick from the Charlotte Bobcats to help get Gasol from the Los Angeles Lakers, two people with knowledge of the discussions told The Associated ...

Apply now for a Business Flex Checking Account!
Apply now for a Business Interest Checking Account!
Apply now for a Business Loan!
Written by Jeff Thredgold, President, Thredgold Economic Associates
May 24, 2011
An Overview: Economic and financial pain within the U.S. has been all too commonplace during the past few years. The S&P 500, a weighted stock market index of 500 large publicly held companies that trade on either the NYSE or the NASDAQ—and a broader stock market measure than the Dow average—is now where it was 12 years ago.
U.S. home prices, after surging in many states during 2003-2007, are now roughly back to levels of 8-12 years ago as well. Add in 9.0% unemployment, the fact that we have seven million fewer workers today than before the Great Recession, and trillion dollar annual budget deficits for as far as the eye can see, and the past decade has been one to largely forget.
If misery loves company, however, picture our woes as compared to those of the Japanese people…
Japanese Dominance
Japan was the global economic victor of the '60s, the '70s, and the '80s. Most forecasts in the late 1970s and early 1980s logically assumed that Japan would continue to dominate the world, with a longer-term goal of eventually surpassing the United States as the world's largest economy.
Wealthy Japanese investors bought "trophy" properties (ritzy golf resorts and high profile office buildings) across the U.S. and around the world, flaunting their economic success. Top-end casinos catered to the Japanese high-flyers, as opposed to the Chinese today. The Japanese were accused more than once of being just a bit arrogant about their successes.
Such a view was held by Japanese stock market investors, who pushed their primary stock index, the Nikkei 225, above 39,000 in early 1990. That index is below 9,500 today, or down 75% from its peak 20 years ago…so much for lavish retirements.
Then the Roof Fell In
Economists talk about "the lost decade" of the 1990s, when the Japanese economy ground to a halt. I would suggest there have now been two lost decades, with only minimal economic growth at times led by new government spending and enormous budget deficits.
While the world focuses on high debt levels in Greece, Ireland, Portugal and other southern European nations (as well as in the U.S.), the Japanese national debt exceeds 200% of its gross domestic product (GDP), the highest in the history of the world. We hear much less about this debt issue because the Japanese people and Japanese institutions are the major buyers of such debt obligations, with extremely low (for the moment) interest rates.
Japanese consumers have also had to deal with deflation (declining prices, followed by declining incomes) for much of the past 20 years. History teaches us that dealing with deflation is much more challenging than controlling inflation.
Then Came March 11
Adding insult to injury were the horrific events of last March 11, when the combination of a 9.0 earthquake, a devastating tsunami, and a major nuclear accident shocked northern Japan. The loss of more than 24,000 people and the total destruction of various towns in the hardest hit areas led to an estimated $300 billion in damage, the most expensive natural disaster in history (The Washington Post).
The Japanese economy fell back into recession in recent months. Deflation has returned. Estimated economic decline should be even greater in the current quarter than in the first, where only 20 days of the disasters impacted the economy. Brighter prospects suggest that modest growth should return in 2011's second half, as massive spending for rebuilding will lift the economy, at the expense of even larger budget deficits.
Japan's shell-shocked consumers will continue to reminisce about the glory days of the 60's to the 80's, when performance was strong, incomes were rising, and expectations were sky high. Today's outlook is far different.
O Canada
When U.S. politicians go in search of another Western nation to perhaps use as an example of what policies this nation should consider, they need only look north of the border. The Canadian economy is outperforming that of its larger neighbor in numerous measures, with 3.3% real growth in 2010, versus 2.9% in the U.S.
Canadian job creation has been better on a relative basis in recent years than that in the U.S. Declines in their unemployment rate have also been more impressive, with the current 7.6% jobless rate looking good versus the 9.0% rate in the U.S.
Canadian consumer inflation at 3.3% during the most recent 12-month period largely matches that within the U.S. Overall economic performance has slowed in recent months, like in the U.S., falling victim to higher energy costs.
No Boom…No Bust
The American housing boom of recent years, followed by the ongoing painful bust, was largely absent in Canada. Their major banks and other mortgage lenders didn't get heavily involved in the "securitization game" which contributed to the U.S. housing spike, then plunge, of recent years.
Yes, the Canadian economy did go into recession a few years ago, in line with most major nations. After all, their major trading partner, the U.S., was flat on its back. Yes, budget deficits were used to help boost the economy back on its feet.
Yes, the Canadians have other issues. Their government-sponsored health care program is arguably broken, with long waiting lists and millions of people who can't find a family physician (The Wall Street Journal). Aggressive development of rich energy resources in western Canada was raised the ire of environmentalists.
Lesser Government
However, much greater application of "living within your means" is found here. The new majority government of the Conservative Party, the first non-Liberal Party majority in 23 years, promises a balanced budget by 2014-15 without raising taxes, a forecast that has solid credibility. The projected Canadian debt-to GDP ratio of below 30% in 2015 will be less than a third of the projected debt-to-GDP ratio in the U.S.
Taxes are being cut. The "welfare state" built in Canada between the early 1960s and the early 1990s has been somewhat dismantled. The Canadian outlook is upbeat, with government playing a lesser role in peoples' lives.

Keeping track
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — When it comes to spring sports, baseball and softball are diamonds in the rough and golf played on the emerald greens is another priceless gem. But for its multi-faceted glittering movement, track and field is considered by many to be the crown jewel. While the aforementioned sports feature compelling moments and drama, they are also prone to periods of stasis. Not so with track and field, which is a non-stop cavalcade of action as runners, jumpers and throwers compete simultaneously in what amounts to an athletic cirque du soleil. Read more

Harbinger of spring
I was on a hike on a trail in Shohola during mid-March when I spotted what appeared to be a butterfly flying in the distance. I waited and watched as it landed nearby. What butterfly flies around in March when it is still cold and several weeks from "greening up" time?
The answer was soon obvious as I got close enough to identify this dark-colored butterfly with a yellow fringe around its wings. I was looking at a mourning cloak (Nymphalis antiope) on a late winter jaunt. One of the nicknames for this species is "Harbinger of Spring." It did indeed make an early appearance. Read more

There are many early signs of spring that tug at my heart strings: the first robin scrounging for worms in the warming soil, the forsythia blooming with sunshine-yellow buds, even the overturned trash cans that waking bears rummaged through during the night. Read more
Mind, Body & Spirit Expo: A (psychic) fair to remember
MATAMORAS, PA — On Sunday, April 1, hundreds of people gathered at the Best Western/Hunts Landing in Matamoras to explore alternative forms of healing, thinking and living—but regardless of the calendar date, the fair was no joke. I was drawn to the event, sponsored by All Better Central (www.allbettercentral.com), a center "dedicated to promoting physical, emotional and spiritual well-being," by a flyer promoting "vendors, demonstrations, aura photography, psychic readers and healers."

The search area of the missing Malaysia Airlines jet has shifted because of a new credible lead, Australian authorities said Friday morning local time.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said it shifted the search roughly 680 miles to the north after getting a lead premised on updated advice from the international investigation team in Malaysia.
The new search area is 123,200 square miles and roughly 1,250 miles west of Perth, Australia.
The revised search area comes amid clearer weather Friday (late Thursday ET) in the southern Indian Ocean that will give searchers a better shot at hunting for new clues.
AMSA said Australian officials have examined this advice and determined that this is the most credible lead to where debris may be located.
The doomed airliner went missing with 239 people on board March 8 on what should have been a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
