Maybe this dog could be your DS's dog? Or yours for that matter. While I can how it's hard to have to take care of something you yourself didn't want does you DS like the dog? I would seriously just say the dog is no longer your step daughters and keep the supervision up between your son and the dog. You never know a great friendship might come out of it.
However if you really think you can find a better family for the dog. Let the whole family know what you're considering. If the DSD is ok with it then I would find the dog a new home.

For Shilpa, that one incident has changed her impression about the festival. She was harassed by some men, who came to the temple village and forced themselves on her. When she refused, she was brutally beaten up.
Kalki, on the other hand, hasn't gone to Koovagam for three years since some boys tore open her blouse while she was walking her way to the temple three years ago. "Now, I don't believe in this ritual of marrying a god and living the life of a widow for a day. I want to lead a normal life like any other woman," she quickly added.
They claim that men from about eight villages surrounding Koovagam pay visit during the fest only to fulfil their sexual fantasies and their numbers swell more than the transgenders every year.

01/01/0001 ,
We had a 4 day break in Hove, primarily to watch some cricket at the Sussex County Ground. The hotel is in a great location, far enough away from the noise and bustle of Brighton but near enough to get there by bus, or a 40 ish minute walk. It's only a 5 minute walk to the shops, bars and restaurants of Hove and it's across the road from the sea.
The building is a very 60s block and is being upgraded to have some rooms with on the 5th floor. The building works were suspended for the bank holiday weekend but when they re-started on the Tuesday were not at all disruptive or noisy, even thought there was scaffolding outside our window. We were in room 34, right by the lift, but again we were not disturbed by any noise from the lift. Our room was a good size, with a tilt and turn window. The only thing which might unnerve some guests was the rather overloaded electric socket. The staff were all very helpful: our TV needed re-tuning and was attended to within 3 minutes of my contacting reception. There was a good choice of breakfast menu, served promptly and with a smile. I would recommend this hotel if you want to be in Hove, a quieter area than Brighton. The bar meal we had was good quality with good service. less
This is a 3.5 actually. The hotel is being refurbed and the price was reflected in that. Modest but fairly comfortable I am sure that will improve once works are complete. There was a lot of noise in the morning and the bed/mattress was fairly old but bathroom was ok and staff were friendly. One of us had to change rooms but was fairly satisfied with move. Good position on Hove seafront though would probably try again in a year when it's all done. less
I stayed only for one night and didn't use the restaurant. The parking is tight. The foyer was a little underwhelming witha recption taht reminded me of the one in the flop house used by the Blues Brothers. There were boxes in the foyer. The decor is all rather brown and and a bit 70s but was otherwise clean and tidy. The room was great - it was comfortable and clean and without fault. Breakfast was good with lots of choice bewtween continental and the ubiquitous full English in its variations. The toom layout was a little odd with columns and partitions. I'd be happy to return. less
We only stayed one night owing to Brighton being virtually full due to The Fringe, but were pleasantly surprised! We were greeted by a cheerful receptionist who checked us in two hours early as our room was already prepared - no mention of extra cost! We were allocated a clean, pleasnt room on the 4th. floor and were impressed with the cleanlines of the room and the quality of the the furnishings/fittings. We didn't use the catering as we were visiting for a dinner re-union, but would not hesitate to if the standard was as good as the accommodation! The menu prices looked reasonable. As we frequently stay in Brighton/Hove, we would consider the Best Western for future visits instead of the surly service and inflated prices offered by many city-centre hotels in Brighton!
The hotel offers good service with comfortable accommodation in a pleasant location overlooking the sea, ten minutes drive from downtown Brighton (or 20 minutes by bus, which stops outside. It also offer - albeit limited - on-site parking on a first-come/first-served basis - a definite plus! less
Excellent Service and Staff made this business trip effortless. Nothing was too much trouble and all staff had a friendly helpful approach to customer service. I hosted a business conference in the main conference room and all attendees commented on the service also we could order food during the breaks for lunch and this could be delivered directly to the room. Would recommend using this for small conferences and business meetings. less

Sharks stay unbeaten with 4-1 win over Canucks
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Antti Niemi made 25 saves and Matt Pelech's first NHL goal stood up as the winner and the San Jose Sharks stayed perfect on the season by topping the Vancouver Canucks 4-1 on Thursday.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Patrick Marleau and Brent Burns, into an empty net, also scored for the Sharks (4-0-0).
San Jose beat the Canucks 4-1 in both teams' season opener after sweeping Vancouver four straight in the first round of last year's playoffs. Joe Thornton and Logan Couture added two assists.
San Jose, which also won all three meetings during the 2013 regular season, has not lost to the Canucks since Jan. 21, 2012.
Sharks forward Tomas Hertl, who became the talk of the NHL after scoring four times in Tuesday's 9-2 win over the New York Rangers, was held pointless.
Mike Santorelli scored for the Canucks (3-2-0), who got 25 saves from Roberto Luongo.
San Jose led 3-1 after 40 minutes and had a good chance to extend the lead five minutes into the third, but Luongo kept Vancouver in it with a breakaway stop on Hertl.
The Canucks showed little life until midway through the period, when their new puck-pressure style started to gain them a bit of time in the Sharks zone, but they rarely threatened Niemi's crease.
Vancouver pulled Luongo with 3:08 to go in the period, but Burns scored into an empty net with 2:19 to play.
Down 2-0 after the first period after San Jose goals from Vlasic and Pelech, Vancouver had some pushback in the second.
Canucks captain Henrik Sedin was stopped by Niemi on a wraparound chance, and moments later the Sharks goaltender made a glove save on Daniel Sedin.
Santorelli, with his fourth goal in three games, got the Canucks on the board at 10:20 when he redirected a shot-pass from Vancouver defenseman Ryan Stanton in the high slot past Niemi.
San Jose restored its two-goal lead just 1:35 later when Marleau beat Luongo with a one-timer from the faceoff dot off a setup from Tyler Kennedy and Couture.
Kennedy had a chance to stretch the lead to 4-1 later in the period on the power play, but had his shot ring off the crossbar.
Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler popped Hertl's helmet off as he was reaching for the puck late in the second period.
Vlasic opened the scoring at 12:16 of the first period by finishing off a nice passing play. The San Jose defenseman took a pass from Burns off the rush in the high slot and snapped a shot blocker side on Luongo.
Niemi came up big on a Vancouver power play later in the first, with big stops on both Edler and Jason Garrison.
Luongo then stopped Burns on another good chance before Pelech doubled the Sharks' lead with 58 seconds left in the first.
The 26-year-old nephew of Vancouver general manager Mike Gillis, playing in just his ninth NHL game, chipped a pass from behind the Canucks' net up into the top corner past Luongo.

Customer Raves & Reviews
The order was perfect and looked exactly as laid out on the screen. I was able to change colors and fonts to fit my desire. I had a very large bridal party so both side panels were absolutely essential to make sure that all names were listed and readable. The order came in a very timely fashion and was easily tracked. This was my 3rd purchase from Magnetstreet and the customer service is amazing, the products are of great quality and I would recommend everyone go with this group for invitations, thank you cards, and programs for the wedding.
Wedding ceremony program!
We looked for a program for our wedding program's on heaps of other web sites but nothing came close to the ones we found here!! They were elegant, beautiful and overall exactly what we wanted! There were sooo many options and every time we had a question and sent an email off we had a reply within the day :) I love them!
I won these programs on the wedding the vibe website, and could not be more impressed with how these turned out. They will b the finishing touch to my beach themed wedding. The website was very easy to use, customer service was quick to answer any questioned I had, and my order was finished and shipped in a few days. I would recommend magnet street to anyone looking to purchase programs!
Really great product
Quality of product was excellent - both print and cardstock. It shipped quickly and was exactly as pictured.

Is fast food to blame for the obesity epidemic? Is their constant advertising, low prices and convenience to blame for expanding waistlines, or are other factors to blame?
I'm looking for two members to debate this topic. One member will debate that fast food is not to blame for obesity, and one will debate that it definitely is.
This is a formal, 1 vs 1 debate. Each debater will post one introduction, five body posts and one conclusion. Posts will need to be made within 7 days of the last reply.
Any questions, please send myself or Lottie a PM.

Lives in Netherlands

Meh, it sounds great until I noticed a gap where they left out color temperature specs.
photoshack: There are tons of LED lighting solutions out there...since this is "continuous light" versus "strobe" why not use the already cheap as hell LED lighting for video setups that do this?
$28 http://www.amazon.com/NEEWER%C2%AE-Dimmable-Digital-Camcorder-Panasonic/dp/B004TJ6JH6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416461048&sr=8-1&keywords=led+photography+light&pebp=1416461151253
This light is far more compact with only 3 leds and still delivers plenty of lumens to be useable with photography . This thingy can also used remote controlled. The last seems more like a gimmick to me; Even with photos permanent light is more helpfull than battery saving .
This is great for navigation at night on a boat. Especially in and around water cities.
However boats must carry lights and a traffic radio is obliged for large / professional ships, smaller (read amateur) ships are literally guessing in the dark about size and distance of the (tiny) boat lights on the water (and some even are ignorrant of light rule) .
Wye Photography: A new Canon film camera?
That was my first thought but elsewere someone reminded of the more drab and higher possibility; A new 19 Mp APS-C camera....
The question is misleading; It asks what I consider appropriate for other photographers (not me). Actual, I know photo enthousiast who do very well with their phone cam while others seems to follow quality rules fanaticly... My advice for the photo enthousiasts fully depends on their ambition and style.
daMatrix: In my humble opinion these test photos show why burst shooting fails compared to well timed & anticipated shutter-click.
The first two images make sense; Nice. The images from burst shooting at 10 fps are all off timed. Add to that the fact that the more multiples increases after editing time; choosing, trying to make a 'almost photo' work and so on.
Sometimes we have to trust our photographic skills. Or accept the fact that if we fail the camera can only give comfort but cannot substitute what an artistic eyes and hand coordination can do.
That maybe so, but that still margins the 7DII to a camera special for shooting erratic animal behaviour...
But I'm fine if the 7DII becomes a hit, such will improve Canon industry and hopefully they come with something that really rocks next year.
beenthere: As a Nikon DX shooter, I'm wondering how they will respond to this. They've been chasing prosumers upmarket to FX since the D300s, Canon seems to have called their bluff. The D610/D750/810 is still too pricey and the D7100 is a bit long in the tooth as well as lacking some key differentiators when compared to the 7D mkII.
The cameras you mention are fullframes, the 7DII has a APS-C sensor...Add to that the fact that sensor innovation has become very subtle last decade, thus the 7DII will give the same image quality as other below $1000 APS-C cameras.

munro harrap: Capture One is My favourite software, by far. Problem is I dare not use it. Why, you ask.
Well I had a full trial of 7. I installed it and used it extensively, growing to love it and prefer it over Photoshop and Lightroom which are trash in comparison.
At the end of the trial I uninstalled it, and when I uninstalled it it deleted 240GB of my own work.
YEP, I kid you not. And that is why I do not use it now.
Had I not all this work already backed up on another drive, Capture one would have destroyed forever as many good pictures as there are in the Tate!
Has it improved????
I cannot believe that such thing happened, unless you the user specify to store your photos in the software folder (that is already an achievement) AND at uninstall state click ok to delete the software folder.
MikeF4Black: So it's as big as a full frame DSLR, it weighs as much as a full frame DSLR, but it's got a small sensor.
The client gets more (of what he does not want).
Well that is good news. Better than I calculated to be Canons possible big upgrade; A brand new camera strap.
Not for citzens of New York, Florida, Peurto Rico, rhode Island..
Thanks for sharing with us this time journey.
Even the story behind the photos - a couple on camping honeymoon trip with their uncle and cat- is an eyeopener. What have we become spoiled last decades.
The winning WorldPressPhoto gets 3.71 score.
A blurry pic of cat, without contrast and composition gets a score 3.8
A cat that could go public as lolcat gets 4.5.
Same cat at older age posing for the camera, in perfect light and contrast and composition, but boring pose gets a 3.8 score.
It seems that the app does not compute : Appealing contrast, color, and composition . The most important factor 'story' is anyhow something we have to make up ourselves (and argue about it amongst each other)
Hmm, the point of this article is use the software that came with product X.
Not helpfulll at all for all those who want to calibrate their camera without something on a cd.
If using software that came along on a cd is the point (and not color checking) front news then write an article about the essence of reading the manual and using appropriate software .
Geez no enlargement view?
These old images hold much more detail than shown here due to the large negative (glasplate) size.
This is a fine example of totally useless camera;
- Camera cannot text, thus average smartphone does a better job for social network contact. (and sphones offer a choice of social networks)
- Image Quality will not do for serious photographers who need a upload anyhow now feature .
Overall I'm really getting worried about Canon's future making a statement with such outdated crap.
Sharpness seems to be slightly more fuzzy in Daylight than artificial light (looking the bottle area).
And maybe for pixel peepers a coordinate bar (like in landmaps) to communicate issues one sees in photo.
A bit sad that older cameras will now become uncomparable. (good news for manufacters since image quality improvement seems to stagnate last 2 years )
And one request I would like to see; A test photo with 1 sec exposure bulb light. (long exposure noise at every iso).
But after all the point the test image seems worthwhile the effort to trash older test data. The image makes sense and points of IQ attention are easy seen. (older version was more or less a forest where each and everyone had its own favourite point to inspect)
Why using a phone as trigger device? All you need is flash to blast at certain sound or movement detection...That hardware exist.
Any additional computing to trigger the flash will slow the proces. Yes computing slows the proces. And it shows in the photo; The ball hovers above the ground on way back instead of being flat on the floor.
Having an automated photo capture stream does not mean a result with great photos.
From his selection of photos shown here only nr 1 is good. The other show photographer failure of showing what he wants to express with the photos.
That said the video shows Pierre had a lot of fun at this concert in his own way and therefor the video is more interesting than the snaps.

Sega of America's VP of Marketing Sean Ratcliffe has said the company are working on improving the quality of Sonic games:
The quality is something that will be fixed over time. It's not something where you wake up one morning and say, 'You know what, we're going to improve our quality on this franchise,' and it magically happens. A lot of hard work goes into striving for quality. Interestingly, I think Sonic Unleashed was very well received by the kids. There was some talk about the werehog aspect, the slower pacing and more combat-oriented gameplay, but when we go out and test this stuff and sit down with the consumers, kids actually like that.
I think older, die-hard Sega fans who grew up with the franchise and the first Sonic the Hedgehog associate Sonic more with 2-D side-scrolling super fast, and they liked the daytime gameplay, but when it came to the slower paced gameplay they were fairly critical of that, and that's fine - they have their opinions

As you'll see in this tour of the M8, the camera bears a striking resemblance to its film siblings until you look at its back. That's when it becomes distinctly digital.
External controls
In keeping with the M-series tradition, the M8's control array is relatively simple and clasically Leica. The most frequently-used controls--aperture and shutter speed--are on dials on the lens (aperture) and on the top plate (shutter speed) next to the shutter release. The shutter speed dial is clickable in half-stop increments, so you could set it to 1/500 sec, 1/250 sec, or split the difference by leaving it in between the two settings for 1/360 sec. Note that the flash sync speed is a zippy 1/250 second! (On the M8.2, oddly, it's 1/180 sec.)
The shutter release looks much like a typical Leica M release, but is missing the film winder! Holding the camera without the winder may take some getting used to, and Leica has introduced an optional handgrip that gives you a bit more to hold on to. Surrounding the shutter release is the on/off switch, which also lets you choose between single and continuous (burst) modes, and self-timer. (You can set the self-timer's wait time in the menus.)
In the center of the top plate is the flash hot shoe. Leica has dropped the PC outlet, so you can only use compatible flash units such as the Leica SF-24D TTL. The left side of the top plate has a small circular LCD that displays the number of shots remaining on your SD or SDHC memory card, plus a batter life indicator.
Bottom plate
Turn the camera upside down and take off the bottom plate by turning the lock counterclockwise and lifting it off. For film M-series users, this is a familiar feature but if you've never used a Leica before, you may find this a bit odd. However, when you remove the bottom plate it reveals the battery and memory card compartments!
To replace the bottom plate, simply hook it over the small extruding tab on the left bottom corner of the camera, then turn the lock clockwise. It's a snug fit.
Back of camera
The M8's viewfinder, as with all previous M8s, has a brite-view finder, with illuminated borders indicating the edges of the frame (see illustration, left). These are set auotmatically when you mount the lens. The M8 uses a smaller sensor, so each lens's angle of coverage is a bit smaller than on a 35mm film camera. Fortunately, Leica made sure that the multiplication factor bumps you up to the next standard focal length. So, a 25mm lens becomes a 28mm, a 28mm becomes a 35mm, a 35mm becomes a 50mm, etc. The lines in the viewfinder mark off each lens's smaller sensor angle of coverage.
Look through the viewfinder and you'll notice at the bottom the current shutter speed (if you're using aperture priority metering) or a dot, or an arrow. A right-facing arrow indicates underexposure; a left-facing arrow means overexposure. Turn the aperture ring and/or shutter speed dial until you see a dot. That indicates the correct exposure. This illustration shows how it works:
While the front, top and bottom of the M8 ooze Leica-ness, the back looks more like a typical digital camera.
To the left of the 2.5-inch LCD monitor are five buttons:
Play plays back recorded images. When in Play, press the Info button to see the photo on its own, or with exposure and histogram information. Press the Delete button to delete the photo you're viewing. In order to confirm a delete, you need to also press the Set button.
Protect prevents a photo from being deleted. If you try to delete a protected image, the camera won't let you do it.
The Set button is the one button on this camera you will probably press the most (besides the shutter release!). It finalizes any mode changes, and accesses the most commonly-used camera settings.
To access the most commonly-used controls ISO, EV, White Balance, Compression, Resolution, User Profile), press "set". Use the up-down buttons on the toggle switch to the right of the LCD monitor to navigate, and the "set" button to access any changes. Once you have accessed the sub-menu, again use the up-down buttons to navigate and press "set" again to make any changes.
To the right of the LCD monitor is the Menu button, which we'll look at next. Below that is a round dial surrounding a four-way toggle switch. This is used to navigate photos in play mode (and to enlarge and move around detail areas of individual shots), as well as to navigate through the camera's various operational modes.
On the left side of the camera is a rubber door that's a bit hard to open. This door guards the USB port that you use to connect camera to computer to download images.
Menu items
Lens Detection: Automatically determines lens being used. You can leave this on.
User Profile remembers your current camera settings when you assign them a number. You can set 3 different user profiles. You can recall your User profile by hitting "Set" then scrolling down to User Profile then selecting the desired profile by number. (Of course, you'll have to remember what each profile's settings are.)
Selftimer lets you choose either a 2 or 12-second delay when in self timer mode.
Auto ISO Setup determines the limits when you choose Auto ISO in the ISO option in the SET menu. (Access Auto ISO by going to Set > ISO and choosing the top choice, Auto ISO). Max ISO lets you determine the highest ISO you would leet the camera automatically choose. Slowest Speed lets you decide which is the slowest shutter speed you'd allow the camera to choose when in Aperture Priority mode. If you choose "Lens Dependent" it will choose the lowest recommended shutter speed for handheld photography for that lens.
Sharpening lets you set the camera to automatically sharpen images. You can choose low, standard, medium high and high sharpening, or you can turn this feature off.
Color Saturation lets you pre-set the amount of saturation--medium low, standard, medium high, high, and Black + White.
Contrast lets you vary image contrast in five steps--low, medium low, standard, medium high, and high.
Monitor Brightness lets you vary the monitor's brightness. Remember: no matter which setting you choose, you cannot determine exposure accuracy based the image displayed in the monitor. That information comes from the Histogram display, or by carefully determining exposure.
Histogram gives you the option of presenting information with or without clipping, in standard or RGB color space.
Picture numbering lets you choose the numeric sequence of pictures.
Auto Review lets you automatically look at preview images. You can either look at them full-frame (and once you've decided that, the camera prompts you to choose 1, 3, or 5-second durations, or until you partially depress the shutter release) or with a histogram superimposed over the image. I recommend choosing this preview mode so you can immediately determine if exposure is accurate.
Auto Power off automatically turns off the camera after 2, 5, or 10 minutes of inactivity. This conserves battery use, but if you're trying to get the shot in the heat of the moment and forgot the camera was off, you may miss the shot so I recommend choosing 10 minutes to decrease the chances of this happening. If the camera is in C or S mode, simply press the shutter release to quickly turn it back on.
Flash sync lets you choose first or second curtain flash.
Auto Slow Sync lets you change the automatic flash sync setting to 1/30, 1/8 or 32 sec. The default flash sync is 1/250 sec. Alternatively, you can simply manually move the shutter speed dial to any speed that's less than 1/250 sec when shooting flash.
Color Management lets you choose the working color space from sRGB (the camera's default) to Adobe RGB or ECI RGB.
Reset changes all of the camera's settings back to their defaults.
Sensor Cleaning inspects the sensor for dust particles. If dust is present, you can either clean the sensor yourself using currently available sensor cleaning products. Read about how to clean your sensor. Leica will also clean the sensor for you, but this service isn't covered by the warrantee, and is expensive.
Date and Time should be self-explanatory.
Acoustic Signal lets you choose a signal for key presses and shutter release, and even though these signals are subtle they defeat the purpose of using an camera that's designed to be unobtrusive. I recommend keeping the sound off.
Language lets you set the menu language to English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese.
Format SD-Card lets you reformat your memory card--a good practice.
Firmware indicates the firmware version currently running in the camera.
Advance lets you choose the amount of sound the camera produces when shooting. In practice, there is no discernable difference. Leave it alone.
There are fewer controls overall on the M8 than on most other digital cameras, in keeping with Leica's philosophy that less is more. Navigation is straightforward, once you get used to the idea that the Set button is really the most important button on the camera.

SEATTLE - Seattle's Pioneer Square has a new plan to improve its image. With Elliott Bay Books closing down and more vacancy signs popping up, developers say the neighborhood is ripe for a fresh start. And a new program in the area called Main Street is intended to help the neighborhood help itself.
Tourists flock here for the quaint shops and cool architecture. Area homeless come here for the social and human services.But the locals tend to shy away.
While tourists can appreciate its eccentricity, locals tend to see it as more of an eyesore. So a local developer convinced Washington's Main Street program to take a look. And what organizers found were inherent posibilities.
Main Street has had success in similar communities in our state and around the country. Its method isn't so much about money as it is changing the mentality.
Main Street adopts a four-point approach to revitalizing struggling neighborhoods:
Main Street has been successful in others parts of our state and around the country.Once on the chopping block the legislature fought to keep it and now it's ready for implementation in Pioneer Square.

LOS ANGELES — With two minutes left in the third quarter Thursday and his team trailing by five points, Celtics coach Doc Rivers took out a winded Kevin Garnett.
It was a risky move, one the Celtics could ill afford considering they had just closed a double-digit gap and swiped the momentum from the Lakers.
But Rivers knew he had to give his big man a break if the Celtics were going to have a shot at winning the game. So he chanced it.
"It allowed Kevin to rest and get back on the floor and then finish with energy," Rivers said.
And that in turn allowed the Celtics to finish a 97-91 victory over the Lakers and take a 3-1 lead in the best-of-7 NBA Finals.
Garnett scored six of his 16 points in the final quarter as the Celtics overcame a 24-point deficit to pull off the biggest comeback in the finals since 1970-71.
"(That was) just great mental toughness," Rivers said. "They just hung in there together. We've been preaching (about) leaning in. When things get bad, lean into each other ⦠and tonight they did it."
Rivers' energy-saving move was just one piece of the Celtics' strategy to get back into a game that quickly seemed to spin out of control.
With the Lakers controlling the tempo, rebounds and free throws in the early going, Rivers switched Paul Pierce onto Kobe Bryant, at Pierce's insistence.
"I felt like I could be a little bit more physical on him," said Pierce, who scored a game-high 20 points and had seven assists. "I didn't think he would be able to post me as easy as he wanted to.
"You know, I'm a little bit taller than Ray (Allen), so I can get a hand up, challenge him a bit more. The whole thing is it's hard to stop a player like Kobe Bryant. ⦠If you can go out there and make him work for everything he got, you give yourselves a chance and that's all I wanted to do, just make him work."
At halftime, Rivers also ordered his team to bolster its defense and start taking more outside shots. All of those moves contributed to the Lakers' second-half collapse.
"They were trapping all over the floor," Rivers said. "I did it (3-point shots) because I thought we needed more floor spacing.
"When Pose (James Posey) made those shots, I knew that from that point on, we were going to one-on-one coverage. Whether we made shots from that point on was up to us.
"But the trap stopped, the floor was spaced and once the floor was spaced, our scorers could score."

Michel Gondry's Mood Indigo gets richer as it darkens
By Amy Nicholson
This well-wrought indie written and directed by Goran Dukic has to be the kewpie doll of current zombie flicks: Its walking dead are a bunch of attractive slackers whose wounds are largely internal. Before the opening credits end, the movie's glum protagonist has tidied his disheveled apartment and slashed his wrists. Zia (Patrick Fugit) kills himself after breaking up with his girlfriend, Desiree (Leslie Bibb). But death does not bring oblivion. The ruling joke is that the afterlife is the same as the world of the living, only worse. Suicide is a form of downward mobility: The streets are shabbier, the jobs lousier, and the people more depressed. Thus, Zia finds himself living in a dump and working for a joint called Kamikaze Pizza. Trolling his neighborhood pickup dive, he meets wild and crazy Russian rocker Eugene (Shea Whigham), whose entire family has offed themselves. A skirt chaser, Eugene hopes to enlist mopey Zia in his carousing. But then Zia hears that Desiree followed his suicide with her own, and he and Eugene take to the road to find her. En route, the guys meet a derelict magic clown named Kneller (Tom Waits) and join forces with a spunky hitchhiker (Shannyn Sossamon) who denies that she has killed herself and insists that she's the victim of a cosmic mistake. Aren't we all?

Here's a snippet of the song "Queenie Eye" that brought Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr together at the grammys last night, in case you missed it.
Way back in the day, when the Beatles were just hitting it big in the States, a group of New Jersey teens got their photo snapped by Ringo Starr at JFK Airport.
Those kids have been found and reunited.
Only two days after Pete Best was fired as the drummer of the Beatles, the group performed their first official gig with Ringo Starr. The concert took place at Hulme Hall in Birkenhead - a ferry 'cross the Mersey away from Liverpool - on Aug. 18, 1962.
Happy (belated) birthday to Ringo Starr, born on July 7, 1940 in Liverpool, England.
But Ringo Starr has some photos of his fellow lads from Liverpool that he's never released before and you'll be able to see them in a new book, "Photograph", which will be released next month.
Joe Walsh is working on his next album and it's going to be filled with other heavy-hitters, including Mick Jagger and Ringo Starr.

Auckland Grammar School is a state secondary school for years 9 to 13 boys in Auckland, New Zealand. It has a roll of 2504 as of March 2015,[2] including a number of boarders who live in nearby Tibbs' House, making it New Zealand's largest single-sex school and placing it among the six largest schools in the country.[4]
Grammar regards itself as the pre-eminent academic secondary school in New Zealand.[5] The local publication Metro claimed that "Grammar's results in the Cambridge system are comparable with most private schools, and it scores extremely well in Scholarship too".[6]

The school was established in 1850 by the then Governor-in-Chief, Sir George Grey, and was officially recognised as an educational establishment in 1868 through the Auckland Grammar School Appropriation Act.[7] The school was initially privately funded, as New Zealand did not have a state education system until 1877.
Auckland Grammar School buildings contain two Category I historic places, the school's main block and a war memorial.[8][9][10] An obelisk located in front of the school commemorates former students who fought in various wars. The school's main block, built in 1916 in the "Spanish Mission" style, is used for daily assemblies, exhibitions, and contains various classrooms. Surrounding the main hall in which the daily assembly is held are the school honours boards listing the names of the school's top scholars including Rhodes Scholars and Girdlers Scholars.
The school owns a facility called the VentureLodge located in the township of Ohakune, in the central North Island, which is used by students for camps.[11]
The school's motto is "Per Angusta ad Augusta" which translates to "Through difficulties to greatness." The school has also translated the motto as "Through rough ravines to hallowed heights."[12] The origin of the motto is uncertain, but it was a common maxim at the time of the school's founding.[13]
A documentary on the school titled Grammar Boys was aired in July 2005 on TV3.[14]
The main building was constructed in 1916, designed by the architectural firm of Arnold & Abbot. It, and the adjacent caretakers residence are in the Spanish Mission style and probably the earliest example of that style in the country. Following the completion of the main building, three smaller buildings were constructed in the same style; The Library block to the north, the Gymnasium to the south and a toilet block adjoining the main building. The first two are extant the toilet block was demolished in 2014. In the 1950s, a large Science block was constructed to the south of the main block in a modern style with metal windows. Further to the South again is a concrete Block from the early 1970s raised on Pilotis to give access to the upper playing fields. Between it and the 1920 Gymnasium is a large Gymnasium which was constructed in the mid 1970s and opened by the Prime Minister Rob Muldoon.
Adjacent to the Spanish Mission Style Library from the 1920s is the Centennial Theatre (opened 1977) and the Swimming Pool. This abuts the Motorway, the construction of which in the 1970s removed some of the School's land to the north. There is now a complex of 'prefabs' adjacent to the Mountain Road boundary, built to house the increasing roll. The loss of playing space on the upper part of the school property meant new Sports Fields need to be created in two former quarries at a lower level than the original school. Each has a sports Pavilion. Recently the pavilion on the upper field was rebuilt.[15]
Historically, because of its reputation, the demand for places in the school has outstripped capacity, and entry was selective. The school was zoned at least since the 1960s. Since 2000, school zoning is determined by a state school enrolment scheme, which gives first preference to students living in a designated home zone, and then to brothers of current students who live outside the zone. The school argues that zoning increases house prices in the zone, reducing access to the school for students from lower socio-economic groups.[16] Research by the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand shows there is a 30 percent premium ($257,000) on houses in-zone compared to those out of zone.[17] In 2014, nearby One Tree Hill College and Selwyn College introduced enrolment schemes which initially planned to overlap parts of the Auckland Grammar zone. Both were forced to backtrack after opposition from parents in the overlapping areas, who feared it could ultimately lead to Auckland Grammar shrinking its zone and affecting the resale value of their homes.[18]
Auckland Grammar's requested voluntary donation is the highest for a non-integrated state school in New Zealand. In 2014, the requested donation reached $1050 per student per year. The school claims the donation is high to cover the gap in government funding between it, a decile 9Q school, and the lowest decile schools (i.e. decile 1A).[19] As a comparison, Auckland Grammar's female counterpart, Epsom Girls' Grammar School, asks for a donation of $665,[20] despite also being decile 9Q.
International students[edit]
The School has around 90–100 International students. International students are tested for English language proficiency and some students may be required to complete an intensive course of English language before starting at Auckland Grammar School. The international students at Auckland Grammar School paid the highest tuition fees in New Zealand state schools at more than $20,000 each year.[21][22]
NCEA controversy[edit]
The last headmaster, John Morris, is a vocal critic of the NCEA. In response to what is perceived by the school to be a poorly designed system being forced on them, the school introduced Cambridge International Examinations in 2002, offering the IGCSE, AS Level and A2 examinations to its more talented students. Other students sit NCEA exams. Students placed in an IGCSE/AS/A2 class are allowed to switch to NCEA, but this is usually discouraged by the school. However in the ensuing years the majority of students were encouraged to take part in CIE qualifications. The introduction of New Zealand Scholarship has been viewed sceptically by the school, and it encourages only the top students to attempt it. Despite this, the school had the highest number of scholarships of any school in New Zealand in 2006.[23] And the 2008 Education Review Office (ERO) report commented the School ranks amongst the highest performing schools in New Zealand from the results in national and international examinations.[24] From 2011, the school will only offer the CIE Form 5 programme to all students in Form 5.[25]
In 2013, 94.1 percent of students leaving Auckland held at least NCEA Level 1 or IGCSE, 91.5 percent held at least NCEA Level 2 or AS, and 81.8 percent held at least University Entrance standard. This is compared to 83.7%, 71.4%, and 42.7% respectively for boys nationally.[26]
School song[edit]
The school song was introduced in March 1955. The words were composed in 1954 by L. W. A. Crawley, senior Classics lecturer at Auckland University College (now the University of Auckland). The song consists of two verses in Latin and includes the school motto as a refrain. It is sung to the melody of the German hymn Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (A Mighty Fortress Is Our God).[27]

10.11.07 - By Matthew Hurley: Antonio Margarito came out like he promised against Golden Johnson, aggressively. He knocked down Johnson in the first round with a vicious barrage in the first minute of the fight, capped off with a tremendous left uppercut and then forced an eight count shortly thereafter. Johnson desperately tried to hold off the onslaught but Margarito, who wanted to make a statement in the fight, left no doubt, dumping his opponent to the canvas for a third time forcing referee Wayne Kelly to stop the fight at 2:38 of the opening round.
It was all in the preparation, he said in the ring afterward. This is the new Antonio Margarito. We started too slow in the Paul Williams fight and now we start fast. I want the big names, Cotto, Mosley. I demand a match. If not them, Kermit Cintron, Hatton. Were ready for everyone.
Margarito is now the WBO Intercontinental welterweight champion.

Stephen Nessen, Reporter, WNYC News
Stephen Nessen reports for the WNYC Newsroom and can often be heard live on Morning Edition.
Hannah Borgeson is a spokesperson for Bike New York and advises riders to wear a helmet, reflector, and remember that although you may never forget how to ride a bicycle it can still be stressful out there.
"Confidence is a big problem. If people haven't been out on a bike in a while they might not realize that it's okay for them to ride in the road. They don't need to stay, sometimes there tend to be potholes on the edge and somebody feels very worried about traffic and they stay on the edge, but then they're going through potholes and then they have to swerve. So, people need to build up the confidence and ride wherever it's safe for them. Sometime that means taking the whole lane."
This Sunday is the Five Borough bike tour. About 30,000 bikers are expected to show up for the 42 mile ride that kicks off at Battery Park. It's the only time of year that streets and bridges will be closed for bikers.
A veteran of city biking and bike tours, Horace Powell, 57, is a courier for New York Minute. He has a pencil thin mustache, a chipped tooth, and wears his chain link bike lock like a belt.
"I've been riding for over thirty years, enjoy the ride, good exercise. I'm 57 years old dude, and I'm healthy has a horse."

Planes in 'near miss' at Vietnam airport after intern took over runway supervision
Published on Jul 15, 2014 1:04 PM
HANOI (AFP) - Two planes nearly collided at an airport in central Vietnam after a young intern was left in charge of directing a busy runway, aviation authorities said.
An air traffic controller who left the trainee to supervise the runway at Danang on June 27 has been suspended and his aviation licence has been revoked, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) said.
"The incident seriously threatened aviation safety. If it had not been spotted in a timely manner, it would have led to an accident," a CAAV statement said.
The intern instructed a Jetstar Pacific plane to take off from the same runway where a Vietnam Airlines plane had just landed, according to state media.

"It is our decisions

she used to say to me. Sometimes
that is all we have. The ability
to decide. To choose.
Even with all the social

in this life here on this planet:
our brains,
our bodies,
and time.
It is what we decide to do
that makes all the difference.
So what am I doing here?
What am I going to decide
to do with my time? What
are the particular ways
that I would like my mind
to grow and change
and evolve and work?
I do have some ideas,
but it seems like – that
age-old cliche – life
gets in the way.
I need focus. Laser-beam
steady focus, pointed precise
direction, precision. I'm not sure
how to gain or maintain that when
everything seems related to what
I want to do, where I want to go.
I'm not sure how to cut things out
when I so enjoy every aspect, the
book group, the writing group, the
drinks with friends, the parties,
the concerts – then of course there's
the practical parts, the health,
exercise, eating right, taking care
of my body, then there's money,
there's my "career" –
all of this hanging in the balance
and I have to decide
what to cancel, what to prioritze
what to celebrate, what to remove
from this delicate balance

AEP Deploying PRiSM Predictive Asset Analytics Software
|in News Departments > Projects & Contracts
American Electric Power (AEP) is deploying InStep's PRiSM predictive asset analytics software.
With about 80 generating stations and a generating capacity of nearly 38 GW, AEP delivers electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. InStep says its PRiSM self-learning analytic software will help the utility company improve the monitoring of the real-time health and performance of its critical plant equipment assets.
According to the company, PRiSM uses advanced pattern recognition technology to detect when equipment is performing poorly or is likely to fail. The software platform can alert plant personnel of anomalies in time to diagnose and repair issues before potentially costly problems occur. InStep notes identification of equipment problems can provide several tangible benefits for power generation utilities, including increased availability, reliability, production quality and capacity.

I enjoy watching cooking shows on television. In fact, I have watched several episodes of the Cake Boss, because I love to watch how cakes are put together. It is amazing what people can do with a bit of flour and some eggs. When I read this book, the word that kept popping into my mind was "comforting." Buddy Valastro takes a quiet approach with his readers and eases them into the idea of being a baker. He explains that baking is a skill that can be learned with lots of practice. He encourages his reads to start with cookies and then eventually graduating to cakes. As I read the book, I noticed that I started saying to myself that I can do this!
Although this book is a condensed version of Valastro's large book, The Essential Cake Boss feels complete and is surprisingly detailed. Valastro goes into great detail explaining what equipment a baker needs and why. In addition, he gives some great advice on baking in general. Something that made me quite happy is that there are a lot of pictures showing you what things are supposed to look like. The large numbers of pictures keep the number of written instructions limited, so none of the recipes look too intimidating.
This book contains five cookie recipes, eight cake recipes (and additional recipes that build on these eight foundational cakes), and 10 frosting and fillings recipes. Additionally, Valastro shows the reader how to several different types of cake toppers (predominately flowers).
My skill set does not include cooking; however, this book gives me the courage to make some cookies and maybe attempt a cake for the upcoming holiday season.

I think it's easiest to use a syringe to draw up the concentrate, rather than try to pour it from vessel to vessel. In most places you can get syringes (without needles, of course) over the counter, at drugstores and similar places.

I think it's easiest to use a syringe to draw up the concentrate, rather than try to pour it from vessel to vessel. In most places you can get syringes (without needles, of course) over the counter, at drugstores and similar places.
The one thing I would recommend is one of those medicine syringes. That will allow mixing straight from concentrate. I mix 1 liter, using about 15.7 ml concentrate with 984ish ml water. When I tray develop I can do 8 sheets of 4x5 using 1/2 liter for each 4, or in a tank I can do 4 sheets, as my steel Nikor tank takes 1 liter. The Patterson universal takes up to 1/2 liter.
The links above are awesome for information. Another good one is http://mysite.verizon.net/fowler/photo/hc110.htm This site has a good chart to go along with the information.
I've used it with FP4+ and HP5+ with nice results. Even using one roll of film, just fill your tank full and you'll get good results. Don't let the frustration stop you, this can be a very rewarding experience. At least, for me it has!
While I occasionally use a syringe to measure concentrate, I prefer to take the "stock solution" route, mixing 8oz of stock at a time. I just find it easier to measure out the stock solution in a graduated cylinder in preparing dilution B and especially dilution H.
FWIW, Kodak's instructions for HC110 now include both approaches - either using an intermediate stock solution or mixing straight from concentrate.
If you want to prepare the intermediate stock solution, you make it up by adding three parts water to one part concentrate - typically those who work that way just dump the 16 ounce bottle of concentrate into a half gallon (64 US oz) container and fill it with water. When you dilute that half gallon to working ("B") strength it makes 4 US gallons of working solution - perfect for a high capacity lab.
For those of us who process a smaller quantity of film, the intermediate stock solution is a way to make the measurements easier, but the stock solution has a limited shelf life. So most of us mix it straight from concentrate. That sticky concentrate isn't easy to measure in small amounts (typically 6 ml or so for me) but solutions like small syringes help.
I find using a 45 ml graduated cylinder works for me. I put in 20 ml or so of water, then I carefully pour the concentrate in until the total volume is 6 ml more.
I've switched over to using HC110 replenished, but prior to my switch I was using as recommended by Jason Brunner - his 1 + 49 method (essentially the same as dilution "E") works well with the Patterson tanks. Here is the link: http://www.jasonbrunner.com/hc110.html
EDIT: for clarity, all the posts in this thread are assuming you are using the more common packaging that originates n North America. There is a more dilute version of HC110 that can be found sometimes in Europe.
EDIT2: Here is the link to Kodak' HC110 technical publication J24: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/profe...bs/j24/j24.pdf
Good point about the US/Euro versions. (concentrations are different)
I had thought of it but I forgot to mention it.
