First Look: Pixar's 'Inside Out' Reveals the Girl Outside of the Mind
So far, we've only seen a brief glimpse of Pixar Animation's forthcoming movie Inside Out. The film follows a little girl named Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job all the way in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions are the only first look we've gotten at the 2015 release from Pixar, and they're a big part of the movie as they live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley's mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. Now we finally have the first image of Riley in the film as well, though we're still not sure who is voicing her.

'Toy Story That Time Forgot' Gets Comic-Con Poster by Mike Mignola
There might not be a Pixar film in theaters this year, but that doesn't mean the animation studio doesn't have something in store for fans. This Christmas, a new TV special is coming around Christmastime called Toy Story That Time Forgot. There will be a sneak preview of the ABC TV special at Comic-Con on Thursday, July 24th, and that's where you can get ahold of a cool poster designed by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. That might seem like a weird match-up, but when you see the poster with a dinosaur warrior that has a mace in his hand, it'll all make sense. The Halloween short was fun, and this seems cool too. Look!

First Look at an Adorable Volcano in Pixar's 2015 Short Film 'Lava'
It's a bummer that we're not getting a theatrical release from Pixar Animation this year, but hopefully they'll make up for it next year with Inside Out, the heady story of the conflicting emotions inside a young girl's mind. And along with that film, as has become customary, we'll be getting an original short film from Pixar as well. It's called Lava, and the film is a 7-minute love story between two mountains named Uku and Lele (like ukulele, get it?). The film will actually premiere at the Hiroshima International Animation Festival in Japan next week, and before the film's release, a first look photo shows off one of the happy volcanoes.

Watch & Learn About the Math Behind Pixar's Stunning Animation
If you're one of those students, current or former, who always wondered why it might be good to learn so much math, there's finally at least one reasonable answer. A couple videos have surfaced online looking at how integral math is when working at Pixar Animation. While there's plenty of art that goes into making their stunning animated films, the animation is still done on a computer, which is made possible due to lots of math. Below you can watch a TED talk from Pixar Research Lead Tony DeRose as he discusses the importance of math in Pixar's work, and also a way nerdier video diving into one of their animation systems.
First Look: 'Monsters University' Short with 'Muppets Most Wanted'
We just recently got a funny look at more of Muppets Most Wanted by way of an online promo using some amusing, fake Twitter hype. And for anyone who's already excited to see Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and all their Muppet pals back on the big screen with stars like Ricky Gervais and Tina Fey, there's something else to be excited about too. Attached to the Disney film will be Pixar Animation's short film Party Central, taking a cue from the Oozma Kappa fraternity from last year's Monsters University. The film took eight months to make and now we have a first look photo from the short film.

First Poster for Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' Introduces Two Friends
What if the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs missed Earth and dinosaurs kept living? Aw look, it's Arlo and his pet human! Out of nowhere, the first teaser poster for Pixar's next release, The Good Dinosaur, has debuted online thanks to poster blog J Posters (who put their watermark all over this thing). Pixar fans may recall that The Good Dinosaur was just delayed from summer 2014 to November 2015, a huge change even though D23 attendees already saw footage and the project has been in production since 2010 at least. This poster finally gives the public a clear look at the two lead characters, the Apatosaurus named Arlo and his human pet (who doesn't seem to have a name yet). Take a look below as we wait patiently for the trailer.
Pixar Brain Trust Taking Over 'The Good Dinosaur' from Bob Peterson
Last week, there was a rumor from Blue Sky Disney going around that Pixar had removed Up co-director Bob Peterson from their forthcoming project The Good Dinosaur, but we decided to wait and see how it played out. Now the news has been confirmed by LA Times, but they report that a replacement hasn't been hired. Instead, Pixar is relying on a group of people to work on various parts of the film. Those people include John Lasseter, Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich, replacement Brave director Mark Andrews, and Party Cloudy short director Pete Sohn, who had originally been on The Good Dinosaur as co-director.

First Look: Pixar's 'Inside Out' Characters from the Mind of Pete Docter
Inside Out takes you to a place that everyone knows, but no one has ever seen: the world inside the human mind. Another one of the big reveals at Disney's D23 Expo taking place this weekend is a first look at the actual characters from Pete Docter's new Pixar movie Inside Out, slated for release in 2015. That pitch about the story taking place inside the mind is all they've revealed about this movie—until now. In addition to revealing a first look at the five main characters, which are emotions personified and colorfied, the voice cast for the animated feature was announced including Bill Hader, Amy Poehler and Lewis Black. See below.

Pixar is Altering the End of 'Finding Dory' After 'Blackfish' Doc Fallout
"Are you sure you speak whale?" A very interesting story from NY Times' Arts Beat blog today about one of the year's breakout documentaries and the impact it's already having on our society. Blackfish is the doc, from director Gabriela Cowperthwaite, which opens the book on Seaworld and the mistreatment of the Orca whales they keep in captivity. I just saw the doc this week myself and it's a powerful, persuasive doc that will leave you with the feeling of never wanting to visit Seaworld (again). It's that feeling that Pixar has already noticed, as an insider at the animation studio tipped off the NY Times that they're changing the ending of the 2015 sequel Finding Dory because of the response the doc is nurturing with the public. Smart move.

D23 Reveals First Look at Pixar's 'The Good Dinosaur' + Voice Cast
"What if the asteroid missed the earth 65 million years ago?" That's where idea for Pixar's next original movie, The Good Dinosaur, began. It addresses the question of: what if the dinosaurs survived and never died off? The answer: they'd be living with humans and interacting with us like it's normal. Disney's D23 Expo is underway in Anaheim today and the first big presentation was hosted by John Lasseter looking at the upcoming Disney Animation slate. They revealed a quick first look at the new Good Dinosaur movie and announced the voice cast, featuring the likes of John Lithgow and Frances McDormand voicing dinosaurs.

Pixar Animation Plans to Pull Back on Number of Sequels Produced
One of the more prominent complaints about Pixar Animation over the past few years is their sudden fascination with revisiting their films by way of sequels. The animation house stationed at Disney has always produced stellar original work, but some fans feel that their efforts in the sequel department, with the exception of Toy Story, haven't been up to usual quality standards. It sounds like Pixar has been listening as a recent conversation Pixar's presdient Ed Catmull had with BuzzFeed indicated that they will significantly scale back the number of sequels that go into production and focus more on original ideas.

Sound Off: Pixar's 'Monsters University' - As Good As 'Monsters Inc'?
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? "I am going to scare circles around you." The lovable Mike and Sulley from Monsters Inc are back in the prequel Monsters University, the 14th movie from Pixar Animation Studios. While there is no Boo this time, we do meet a whole batch of new monsters including Squishy, Don, Terri & Terry, Art, Johnny and the ominous Dean Hardscrabble. So how is it? Does it live up to Monsters Inc at all, is at as good as that classic, or not even close? Does it have as much heart as there is humor? Once you've seen it, leave a comment with your thoughts on Pixar's Monsters University.
Review: 'Monsters University' Has Just Enough Heart and Laughs
In 2001, when Monster's, Inc. came out, Pixar was still in its early years. The company had two Toy Story films and A Bug's Life, which some considered a slight disappointment. Adorable as it was, Monster's, Inc. still didn't quite reach the heights of quality storytelling that would come a bit later with films like Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. It's only natural that now, 12 years and ample amounts of that quality later, the company's trek back to the well brings us Monsters University, a prequel. The results are still fine, adorable as ever, with plenty of laughs from audiences both young and old. And maybe that's good enough.
TGB Episode 161: Catching Up With Pixar (Guest: Kate Erbland)
On this week's episode of The Golden Briefcase, hosts Tim and Jeremy are joined by Kate Erbland, from MSN Movies & Film School Rejects, to go through their picks of the week, the newest DVD & Blu-ray releases, new trailers for Noam Murro's 300: Rise of an Empire and Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street and much more. The main topic was a discussion on Pixar's cinematic output since the topic was last broached on the show in 2010, coinciding with Monsters University hitting theaters this week. The group talks over their last few films and how the company has/hasn't changed and where they hope to see them go.

Gaining spot in Chase first step for Johnson
The next two places go to the drivers in the top 20 with the most wins. Right now that would be Kasey Kahne (two wins in 12th) and Ryan Newman (one win in 14th). Should either fall out of the top 20, the driver ranked 11th in points advances. Right now, that would be Kurt Busch.
The top seven positions in the field are likely set. The gap from defending champ Keselowski in eighth place to Logano in 16th is only 36 points. Those spots are wide open. Keselowski last week jumped from 12th to eighth in one race.
But Johnson's spot at the top is firm. Possibly all the way to the title.

Bordertown and raging on: Remembering Dan Seals
Posted by James McPherson on March 26, 2009

Jim Sterne | December 20, 2012 | Comments
What is the value of my data?
I am furious.
Usually, I am resigned. Usually, I understand when policies get in the way, processes #fail, and people act like, well, humans and make mistakes.
But this time I was so pissed off, I took to Twitter.
Lo and behold, UPS tweeted back within hours asking me to email them:
And so I did:
Greetings UPS and thanks for hearing my cry for help.
I wanted to send a package and went to UPS.com but when I entered my username and password, I received this:
>>> The User ID and/or Password entered was invalid. Please try again. (Note: User ID and Password fields are case sensitive and consecutive unsuccessful log-in attempts may result in the User ID being locked out.) (SSO_1018)
After multiple attempts and assuming I may have been mistaken about my name and password, I choose "Send User IDs" and received this:
>>> No User ID(s) exists for the e-mail address entered. Please try again. (SSO_1014)
When I called UPS Customer Service, I was told that my account was probably deleted as I had not sent a package in several months. When I expressed my disbelief, the person on the phone assured me it was standard operating procedure.
I was flummoxed. So I turned to Twitter. Having tweeted for more than 5 years, this is only my second public complaint.
Is the information I received correct and the years of personal and business addresses I entered at UPS.com are now gone? Or is this information incorrect and my account can be recovered?
Thank you for your help.
firstname.lastname@example.com replied within two hours:
Thank you for your response. The system will purge the account after 7 months of inactivity and we are unable to retrieve the information. You should have received an automated message telling you that it was going to expire if you did not log into the account. This is done because we have so many accounts that are not used. I'm so sorry that I can't pull up this information for you. You would have to set up a new profile.
Still not believing my eyes, I tried again:
I am certain that I have shipped something with UPS within the past seven months but always trusted you guys to keep track of such things. Do you truly have no information connected to my email address? None at all?
It seems I was blown off for good:
I appreciate you getting back to us. Unfortunately, we have not been able to locate any further information. It may be best that you create a new profile at this time. I'm sorry that I don't have better news for you. Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention and allowing us to respond.
So now - a week later - I am calm, I am cool, I am collected. I am rationally considering…
No, I'm not.
I am still furious!
That was my data. You say you sent me an automated message telling me my account was going to expire. Can you show me a copy?
I am so sorry that, in this world of big data, your systems are so lame and your data storage costs are so high that the 450 kb it must have taken to store a couple of hundred addresses for me was just too costly for you to bear.
Might you have at least sent me a CSV file of my data before deciding I was a non-entity?
So what is the value of my data? Simple: one business relationship, deleted.
All is not lost. I did hear from FedEx:
Good to know Dave. Thanks for being there.

Republicans In Congress to Push AMMO ACT to Limit DHS Purchases
The Obama Administration wanted to inflict gun control on the American people, but if Republicans in Congress have their way, Obama's Department of Homeland Security is going to get a taste of his own medicine. Today, Republicans in the House and Senate are introducing a bill that will limit ammo purchases for federal agencies.
The bill's sponsor in the Senate is Jim Inhofe (R., Okla.). He said the following in a statement to the Washington Beacon,
"President Obama has been adamant about curbing law-abiding Americans' access and opportunities to exercise their Second Amendment rights. One way the Obama administration is able to do this is by limiting what's available in the market with federal agencies purchasing unnecessary stockpiles of ammunition.
As the public learned in a House committee hearing this week, the Department of Homeland Security has two years worth of ammo on hand and allots nearly 1,000 more rounds of ammunition for DHS officers than is used on average by our Army officers. The AMMO Act of 2013 will enforce transparency and accountability of federal agencies' ammunition supply while also protecting law-abiding citizens access to these resources."
The Republican sponsor of the bill in the House, Frank Lucas (R., Okla.) chimed in as well.
"After hearing from my constituents about the shortage of ammunition in Oklahoma and the Department of Homeland Security's profligate purchases of ammunition. We have introduced the AMMO Act of 2013 to curtail these purchases so Americans can exercise their Second Amendment rights without being encumbered by the federal government."
While all Americans should certainly want our domestic law enforcement officers to have all the ammo they need to practice and execute their duties, we shouldn't want them to buy so much ammo that they drive up the cost for other Americans if it's ultimately going to be wasted.
So far, DHS has not provided a good explanation for why its officers need 1000 more rounds of ammo per year than army officers and unless it does, a little congressional oversight appears to be just the thing for DHS.

Thoughts on the Smash Demo
By LobsterVendetta 0 Comments
First I'd like to thank a wonderful and very good friend of mine for giving me one of the codes. I really appreciate it.
Now some (scatterbrained) thoughts on the Smash Bros. 3DS Demo:
-Right from the start I was impressed with how good the game plays with the 3DS controls. It took me a couple of matches to get used to the shield and grab button placement, but it didn't hinder me much.
-Smash Attacks, tilts and specials all feel natural to do as with the N64 or Gamecube controller.
-Visually the game looks amazing, and it runs silky smooth. As mentioned in a Nintendo Direct, assist trophies run at 30fps. I did notice this with certain ones, namely newer assists like Dark Samus and Ghirahim but guys like Samurai Goroh move relatively smooth.
-Character animations are full of life and personality, I'm actually surprised they hadn't worked on this before.
-I appreciate the visual cue for when you deliver a KO hit (red and black horizontal lighting)
-I like how the bottom screen is used to display damage percentage. I noticed a neat detail with Link, on his portrait his eyes light up when you get a Final Smash. It might do this for everyone else but I haven't checked.
-While the character selection is minimal I do appreciate the decision to include 2 of the newcomers in the demo.
Here's a short "tier" list of who I enjoyed the most playing as:
1- Link: Feels more powerful now and is a blast to use in the air. (That down air spike, gosh)
2- Mario: Not since Smash 64 have I enjoyed using Mario this much. Like Link he feels more powerful and well balanced with the ability to combo well. Also like like a blast to use in the air.
3- Villager: A fun character with an interesting playstyle I haven't gotten quite used to yet. His lack of a traditional KO move has kept me from using him that much. I've seen players do some crazy stuff with him though.
4- Megaman: I don't care for his play style at all, and I don't have any nostalgia for him so I don't have much reasons to use him. Overall he feels very stiff.
Note: I'm normally a Captain Falcon player, so that might give some perspective as to how "good" I am at zoning.
5- Pikachu: Lower than Megaman only because I remember him having far better KO potential than in here. Then again I probably just suck with the little guy. He's alright but feels really weak.
-As a whole the gameplay reminds me of Smash 64, in that I feel a great level of confidence and control when using certain characters. It's very much it's own game in terms of speed and weight of the characters, and all I can say is that I like it FAR more than Brawl. (A game I only played for a couple of months and haven't touched since)
-The CPU AI is impressive, it feel less "robotic" than it did in previous Smash games. (Level 9's feel smart but not perfect) Sadly this means that they can dodge certain Pokemon or destructive items quite easily. One thing I noticed is that having 2 CPU characters means that they will gang up on you. If you add an extra one they seem to spread out and attack each other more. The former bugged me a bit.
-The "Omega" Stage option is actually pretty cool, though still a misguided feature.
-Victory animation's are the best in the series, giving the game a more professional and dynamic presentation. (Thanks Namco)
-3D feature doesn't do much for the visuals.
I can say that thanks for this demo I'm super excited to play this game AND the Wii U version.

Earth-like planets may be closer than thought—study
WASHINGTON—Scientists looking for habitable planets may not have to stray far from our galactic neighborhood, said a new study Wednesday, which calculated an Earth-size planet could be orbiting a red dwarf as near as 13 light years away.
"We thought we would have to search vast distances to find an Earth-like planet. Now we realize another Earth is probably in our own backyard, waiting to be spotted," said Harvard astronomer and lead author Courtney Dressing.
The researchers based their calculations on planets already discovered by the US super-telescope Kepler, focusing on the question of which "red dwarf" stars could have potentially habitable Earth-size planets in their orbits.
Red dwarfs are smaller, cooler and fainter than our solar system's sun—and they are also the most commonly found stars in our galaxy, making up about three of every four stars in the Milky Way.
Kepler casts its gaze on around 158,000 stars and, based on the analysis by Dressing and her team, the telescope has identified 95 planetary candidates orbiting red dwarf stars.
But most of those planets weren't quite the right size or temperature to support life, so the researchers narrowed the candidates to just three that were both warm and approximately Earth-sized.
Projecting outward based on the estimated 75 billion red dwarf stars in our galaxy, they arrived at the prediction that around six percent of red dwarfs should have an Earth-like planet, and the nearest one could be just 13 light years away.
"We now know the rate of occurrence of habitable planets around the most common stars in our galaxy," said co-author David Charbonneau.
"That rate implies that it will be significantly easier to search for life beyond the solar system than we previously thought."
A light year is equivalent to around 5.8 trillion miles (9.46 trillion kilometers), or the distance light can travel in a year.
So 13 light years away is hardly a quick jaunt.
But it's a whole lot closer than the 300-600 light years between us and the planet candidates Kepler has spotted to date in the so-called "habitable zone" where liquid water is capable of existing and thus supporting life.
The characteristics of red dwarfs make it relatively easy to spot planets orbiting them from far away—a process that relies on identifying dim spots created when the planet passes in front of its star.
But the researchers said scientists may have to dedicate a small space-based telescope, or a large network of ground-based ones, to looking for a nearby planet, since the larger space telescopes are aimed at further stars.
Dressing also cautioned that an Earth-like planet orbiting a red dwarf would look quite different from the green-and-blue one we call home, but said the differences didn't rule out the existance of life.
"You don't need an Earth clone to have life," Dressing said.

In his 2005 book Future Jihad, Walid Phares, a leading commentator on global terrorism, portrayed a grim Urban Jihad scenario, like the virtual terrorist takeover of Mumbai earlier this week. In an interview to Venkatesan Vembu, the Director of Future Terrorism Project at the Foundation of the Defence of Democracies, and the author of The Confrontation: Winning the War Against Future Jihad, speaks on the dangers of jihadism, and outlines strategies for winning the war against it.
Who do you think carried out the Mumbai attack?
This attack is part of an ongoing struggle between jihadis and the Indian state: in October, Indian security forces arrested several Indian Mujahideen members. Those arrests were a response to attacks in other cities. So, it's part of a chain.
Do you see the signature of the Al-Qaeda?
Al-Qaeda is the centre of a web; these organisations are learning from its multidimensional operations. The Al-Qaeda is sitting among the Taliban. In Pakistan, the Taliban and the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish-e-Mohammed are interlinked.
We're dealing with a force, stretching from Afghanistan to India. In India, jihadis are applying the Al-Qaeda model, even if they are not a part of it.
What was the motive for the Mumbai attack?
At one level, to instil shock and awe worldwide, much like the 9/11 attacks. On the regional level, there may be another motive. Jihadis in Pakistan have been under pressure, especially under the new President (Asif Zardari), because of the ongoing military operations in Waziristan. The jihadis' strategic objective was to break down the rapprochement between India and Pakistan. If that happens, Pakistan will be forced to pull back units operating against the Taliban and move them to the border with India.
That would ease pressure on the Taliban.
Indian citizens are seething with rage, sensing a Pakistani link to the attack. How should India respond to Pakistan's inability or unwillingness to go after jihadis?
This matter has to be internationalised: if we leave it to India and Pakistan, then anger will take over. The US, Europe and Russia should convene a meeting against the jihadi challenge.
Second, the Pakistan government must send out a strong signal that it will combat terrorism. Perhaps the Pakistan prime minister should visit Mumbai and declare from there that both countries are united in the fight against terrorism. Third, inside Pakistan, terrorist organisations must be given a strong message that 'any attack on India is an attack on us'.
Why should not India launch aerial strikes on terrorist hideouts in Pakistan, just as the US does when its troops in Afghanistan are attacked?
Such aerial attacks won't solve the problem. What we need is an international framework for ground-level attacks. Pakistanis must feel they are a part of an international and regional consortium. Once they're in, you can launch activities and say, 'The Pakistanis are part of it'. Even if in reality they may not be. The Pakistan
intelligence service is penetrated by jihadis, and the Pakistani government doesn't know how deeply it's been infiltrated.
The Obama transition team seems keen to bring pressure on India to address the Kashmir issue.
When Obama is in the White House, he will have to look at the realities. The problem is not Kashmir, but the jihadis in Kashmir.
What is the objective of jihadis?
First, to establish a Taliban-like regime — characterised by suppression of minorities and women — in all Muslim countries or regions. After that, they want to crumble 21 Arab countries, 52 Muslim states and recreate a 'Caliphate' that will go against human rights, including the rights of Muslims. And then there is the use of weapons of mass destruction. In jihadi ideology, there is no such thing as 'balance of terror' or 'mutually assured destruction' — because in the view of a suicide bomber, life is not 'here', it's on the 'other side'…
How can the war against future jihad be won?
We need an international coalition against jihadis that would go across ideology, regions and cultures. India has not supported the campaign in Iraq, and is not present in Afghanistan, and yet it is targeted by jihadis. It's the same with Russia, countries in Europe, and the Arab world. Mumbai should be the moral and psychological 9/11 of the world. What has happened in that city will and can happen in all cities. Even if all jihadis in the Mumbai attack have been captured or killed, that model is now a living model. You have to have international action in the same way Nazism and Fascism were fought. You must have an international charter against the radicalisation of young minds.

The Taj Mahal was built as a mausoleum for the wife of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. After Mumtaz Mahal's death, the emperor commissioned the complex to house her tomb. The Taj Mahal was named in Mumtaz Mahal's honor.
After Mumtaz Mahal's death during the birth of the couple's 14th child in 1631, Shah Jahan commissioned the building of the Taj Mahal. The construction of the complex took 20 years and was finally finished around 1653. Over 20,000 workers participated in the construction of the Taj Mahal as well as 1,000 elephants.
The focal point of the complex, the main central dome, stretches 240 feet and is surrounded by four smaller domes. Much of the mausoleum is made of marble, with various precious stones laid into the stonework. Red sandstone is one of the other main building materials that make up the complex. The entrances to the mausoleum are arches and have verses from the Quran engraved into them. A garden and water pools finish the mausoleum.
When Shah Jahan died in 1666, he was buried next to Mumtaz Mahal in the Taj Mahal instead of his intended resting place. Though he had intended to build another mausoleum for himself opposite the Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan was removed from power and died before it could be built.
an emperor dude built it for his 3rd wife.

Actor Hrithik Roshan, who visited Shirdi on Saturday, said he lost his cool with media persons because they tried to invade his privacy.
The media alleged that the actor acted rough with them when they tried to shoot his pictures at Shirdi.
"I can't believe they (media) can now enter gods shrine for TRP. Polite words requesting them (to leave) were ignored. It took great effort to pray with 30 media cameras feeding off every private moment," Hritihik said after the incident.
"Right now I am trying to forgive myself for losing my cool but I guess when it comes to family any man would do the same," Hrithik said.
The actor whose film 'Kites' is schedule for release, said he visited Shirdi this morning as per the tradition of the Roshan family to visit Shirdi before the release of their every film.
Hrithik was accompanied by father Rakesh Roshan, mother Pinky Roshan and wife Suzanne.
The actor said he felt vulnerable as an actor for the first time in his life but wished he had kept his anger in check.
"For the first time in 10 years as an actor, today I felt my privacy being invaded. What they did was wrong. But I wish I could've risen above and given them all a big hug...," the actor said.

The river Lydeway marks the water-shed between the Bristol and Christchurch (Salisbury) Avons on the north western boundary. The head-stream of the Christchurch Avon is in the north eastern boundary. The spring from the Bristol Avon is to the north east of Wedhampton and rises to the south west of Rookery Farm. Urchfont derives its name from it and it is reputed never to fail, even in the driest season.
This is a smallish waterfall (approx 12ft)which can be found in the wooded valley running along north eastern edge of Urchfont.I have taken three exposures and blended into one hdr image.It was quite tricky to get to the correct position and also i couldnt remove all of the branches obscuring the fall.It was quite dark hence slow shutter speed,but has created the effect i was looking for.

I like the silky effect of the water. I wondered if it might benefit from a portrait crop which focuses on the waterfall more. I've uploaded a mod. Hope you don't mind!

Ive uploaded a mod Martin. Moving the waterfall out of the centre is a good idea, andimo thats best achieved by using the rule of thirds.
A few more observations, most of them addresses in the mod.
You exposure is quite good, - does the silky water thing, but anything in the frame that moved at all, with the slightest breeze, is blurred.
The water itself has, understandably a strong green hue, and that looks better more white (its hard to notice until you view it side by side with the mod)
The area at the bottom is not sharp at all, - could be the use of 55mm not being apparently sharp close to the lens, or where you focused. Focusing further away that the waterfall itself can actually give you a sharp waterfall, all the way to the cameras position. (Hyperfocal focusing)
Anyway a good effort. I wonder if it was the Big Log that attracted you to this!

Thankyou paul and willie,some good advice to mull over.Agree the composition would look better off centre or even as chris suggested portrait style.I can see the colour cast now you mentioned it and adjusted it.As for the focusing i can see what you mean, especially comparing to other photos of similar nature which are pin sharp.There was a breeze although it was sheltered so that would explain some of the blur.Will have to look up the hyper focusing technique heard of it ,never known how to use it.
Finally nice spot of the biglogs,have been past here loads of times knew there must be something attracting me back!!

Gone for a square crop with the waterfall on the left third third. I've whitened the water a tad as well. The image looks a bit over-sharpened on my screen, that could be just the HDR effect or sharpening applied in the processing. I've softened it just a little.

Charles E. Freeman
Charles E. Freeman (born 1933) is an American attorney and first district justice of the Illinois Supreme Court. He was elected to his position on the court on November 6, 1990, becoming its first African-American justice. He served as chief justice from May 12, 1997 to January 1, 2000. His political affiliation is Democratic, and his home city is Chicago.
Originally from Virginia, Freeman (the surname may have been adopted when his father's family was freed from slavery by Quakers before the Civil War) did his undergraduate work at Virginia Union University and earned his J.D. degree from John Marshall Law School. Illinois governor Otto Kerner appointed Freeman to the Illinois Industrial Commission in January, 1965 as an arbitrator, where he heard thousands of work-related injury cases. In September, 1973 governor Dan Walker named Freeman to the Illinois Commerce Commission, a rate regulatory agency with power over telephone, electricity and gas companies. He worked on the commission until December, 1976.
Freeman also conducted a general law practice from 1962 to 1976, when he was elected to the Cook County Circuit Court. He served ten years on the court and swore in Harold Washington, a personal friend, as mayor of Chicago. Freeman is a member of several bar associations and professional judiciary societies, and has won a number of awards throughout his career.
Freeman now ranks as the senior member of the Illinois Supreme Court after his re-election in 2002. While on the court he has shown particular interest in administrative reform and prosecutorial misconduct cases. He is married; his son is also an attorney.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Brodi Lowmaster's powerful pitching and John J Fisher Post 62 of Punxsutawney's lethal lineup were on display Tuesday night at Rich Kuntz Memorial Field in Punxsutawney.
Lowmaster struck out nine through five innings, and both Tyler Skerkavich and Braedon Pennington hit convincing home runs during Punxsy's 13-2 victory over the Clearfield Chiefs in the first round of the Jefferson County American Legion baseball playoffs.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — With Tuesday night's down- to-the-wire win over St. Marys, the Punxsy Little League baseball All-Stars earned another shot at DuBois.
Punxsy, which dropped to the losers' bracket with an 11-1 loss in five innings to DuBois last Sunday, scored nine runs during the first three innings and made some clutch plays defensively Tuesday to edge St. Marys, 10-8.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — With the game tied at two, St. Marys scored five runs in the top of the fourth inning and never looked back, going on to defeat Punxsy 7-5 in the Minor League softball All-Star tournament Tuesday night in Punxsutawney.
"That was the one bad inning we had," Punxsy manager Steve White said. "We had some walks, and we threw the ball around a bit. It was good to see that we were able to fight through it, regroup and fight and claw back. It obviously just wasn't enough, though."

The Minnesota Timberwolves drafted Kevin Garnett straight out of high school with the no. 5 pick in the 1995 draft.
20 years later, Garnett is back with the Wolves following a trade with the Nets at the NBA trade deadline.
Garnett is the lone player still in the NBA from the 1995 draft — a class that proved to have some players with lengthy careers as well as some busts.
Today, several of those players still work around or with the NBA, but there are also several college coaches and a couple of players doing charitable work.
Joe Smith was selected first by the Golden State Warriors.
Smith retired in 2011 after playing for 12 different teams in 16 years. He's most recently popped up in the hip-hop world, recording a Donald Sterling diss and dating "Love & Hip Hop" star Moniece Slaughter.

Sailing with small children
We have sailed for years on our little 22 ft Venture and now recently moved up to a larger boat. The kids have been pretty much raised spending weekends on the boat.
For entertainment when things are getting windy and hectic...I have always brought coloring books, dolls, etc. (now that they''re older they bring game boys)
But, if the weather is nice, put a life jacket on them, have life lines..and give them a sponge and a bucket full of water! We let our kids clean the cabin top and I have gone up to the bow with them so they could clean up there. They always feel like they are getting away with something, they''re entertained and I get the spider poop off the decks!
My husband is awesome with the kids, but I agree sometimes the mommy just has to step in.

Power Management (XP)
The last problem I posted here was fixed within an hour, so what the heck; here we go again:
My computer has lost the ability to go to the standby or hibernate modes. The power management options for standby are also missing from the Power Options panel, and the standby button in the shutdown window is grayed out. The wierd thing is, before I log on, the computer can enter Standby mode, but only from the welcome screen. After I log on, the feature is lost. So, any ideas??????:(
And yes, i do have the latest BIOS and VIA 4in1 drivers.
Did this always happen, or just recently?
It happened about a month ago. Before that, everything worked fine.
Is ACPI listed in the Device Manager under the Comuter device?
Yes, but it says, "ACPI Fixed Feature Button."
mine says ACPI Uniprocessor PC...you might have to re-install Windows to get it to work again...
Great....looks like it's time to pop for a CD-RW drive.:rolleyes:

Product Data
|Weight (g):
|Tyre Bead:
|Wheel Size:
|700c (622)
Open tubular differ from traditional clinchers for the construction. The tyre is produced just like a tubular and uses the same materials and production process. Instead of being sewed with an inner tube inside, at the end of the process beads are made by folding the casing around Aramid fibres threads.
For this reason an open tubular gives very similar ride feel of that of a tubular, mainly if a latex inner tube is used. Mounting an open tubular on a wheel is the same as mounting a standard clincher but with the advantage of riding a much more comfortable and performing tyre.
About Road Race Tyres
These tyres are for racing style bikes that use clincher/hooked rims, these are the most common fitment and hook onto the rim and require an inner tube. There is a wide choice of tyres within this category and the right choice is important. Lighter tyres will accelerate quickly, but will be more prone to punctures so getting a balance is extremely important. If you require a tyre for all round use look for something with puncture protection, an average TPI(Threads Per Inch) and average weight. If you require a fast tyre and speed is the only thing that matters look for a low weight folding tyre with high TPI. If durability is your priority and speed is not so important look towards the puncture resistant tyres and consider going for a wider tyre, these will be less prone to punctures and offer a bit more comfort. For wet road conditions a triple compound or winter tyre is a good choice, these use a softer compound on the cornering surface to maximise grip.
About the Challenge brand
In 2003 Challengetech created its own brand "Challenge". Challenge, as the word says, wants to point out how difficult and exciting it is to keep the tradition of high quality products, created with obstinacy, with the steady research of special materials and through handcrafted processes. Since the 2000s, Challengetech has being producing tubulars for other brands, thanks to the constant use of these products in the professional cycling.

Originally conceived as a means for teaching young mail-art makers about the rules of the post office, the Parcel Ghost quickly took on an afterlife of his own. In the Parcel Ghost's Guide to Post, the friendly spirit (who used to work for the post office when he was alive) shares his knowledge about mail practices and particulars, and tells some stories about his adventures and mail he's sent and received.
This zine is appropriate for zine and mail lovers of all ages.

Car Owners' Reviews
Car Reviews and Owner Comments
I have a 2003 GMC Envoy XL SLE purchased brand new. Parked in heated garage, 205,000 miles. Speedometer died at 101k miles tach died at 175k. GMC instrument cluster is ripe with problems so i removed it and had it rebuilt for $150. See youtube for repair shops and how to remove, the removal and installation of the cluster is so easy and took 10 minutes!. Dealer wanted $1,000 4 years ago. I should have done this three years ago, If you get it rebuilt do the complete cluster as eventually all of the gauges will die. Rear speakers have died and i think that is my next fix. I have replaced brakes myself that is so easy as well. New Disk and pads throw away the old and replace with Premium Parts do not use less then premium parts as the brakes will chatter and wear way too soon. The rear Glass tailgate hatch mechanism will fail, i need to learn how to replace that. Help on that would be appreciated. Replaced both the Wheel bearing and did Upper control arms and tie rod ends. that took a few days but i saved over $900. The Rear back up light reflectors will fail, fill with water and cause the socket to require replacement. That was a very easy project and reflector and socket cost less that $30 per side. Engine is 100% great Transmission is 100% great because i have the towing package with trans cooler. I have never towed but the cooler protects and enhances the life of the transmission. My wife and i love this car and lament the day we will have to say good bye. Maybe one of the kids will take it after college.

My 2009 Sante Fe started acting up - when starting it, it would not fire up. Ist time - it finally clicked in after 3 tries, the next time (2 days later)it didn't . It just made those gear noises and wouldn't fire. Called the Hyundai dealership, said to tow it in so they could have a look. We called CAA to tow it. After explaining the problem to the guy who came, he first wanted to take a look under the hood before towing it. As soon as he did he shook his head and asked who sold it to us as there were two wires attached to the battery for rust prevention. He said having that hook up is one of the reasons the battery level was low - it used up too much juice. Advised me to detach these wires as they cause more trouble than they're worth. He also told me if it happens again, to press the lock and the unlock buttons on the key at the same time. This will reset the system and the car will run. It worked. Never have I been told about these wires and this "firing problem" and how to solve it at the dealership. That CAA guy was worth his weight in gold! Ottawa, ONT 20 April 2015
I have 70,000 miles on my 2008 honda accord. Every 20,000 miles I have to replace brakes. I have A/C problems, blows hot air (off and on). I had VTC changed under TSB at 55,000 miles and now the same engine problem is occuring, which i will have to pay for. It goes through oil (consuming) it. I have to add a quart every 2,000 miles. Recently, the starter went out $500 and the power steering pump was replaced ($400) because they said it was leaking too bad and would cause an engine fire. Both not under warranty or recall (honda said) I contaced NHTSA as well as Honda America. Honda America is ignoring me.....I HATE MY HONDA ACCORD.....and i will never buy another one. I HATE HONDA AMERICA !!!!! HORRIBLE CAR. I plan to sue them......
I have a 1998 Dodge B3500 conversion van by Pleasureway. The excessive rear end sway was nearly totally eliminated by installing 2"spacers on rear wheels and raising air pressure in rear air bags to 75lbs.Front steering problem (wander) improved by replacing all four ball joints, shocks & steering damper. Steering wheal still wanders a bit, but havingit checked on 4-22-15. I'll let all know outcome.
4 wheeling machine but fuck the 3.o
i got one of these for free from my mother everything about this car impressed me i jumped it on a daily basis and it n ever broke one time
i have a 95 hyaundai and ive done everything in that car that ive ever done to any 4wd i know these are very reliable cars
98 Blazer LT 4x4 144,000 miles owned now two months. Truck is very Roomey but hard on front end arms and brakes.Replaced activator in drivers door and speakers after buying it with only f/l speaker working also had to replace l/f door light switch to fix interior lighting and key in ignition chimes when ever key was in ignition..Good truck for The cheap $1500.00 i paid for it. But have put 1k in it to make it a real bargain including tires, shocks, new gas cap, speakers and door jam switch and activator also left inner and outter ball joints and pittman arm still shakes on rough roads and leaks oil by bell housing area also light shaking on idle but gets the job done
I have a 2008 Dodge Avenger R/T that I bought used. I bought the car in June of 2014 and it had 60,000 miles on it. It is very clean, inside and out. I took it to Midas for an oil change and the mechanic said that whoever owned it before me took very good care of it. It has new tires, new brakes, and the body is in great shape, except for the lip on the front of the hood. The paint is bubbling. It's not rust, because the hood isn't metal. The interior of the car is spotless, the radio is awesome. I love this car. No mechanical issues. I have put 5000 miles on it with no problems. I love this car. My trunk doesn't hold water when it rains either.
Hello returning 2002 mercury mountaineer ford dealership owner i wanted to tell you what the black leaking fluid is on my left front tire and the knocking/popping noise is when you turn I need to replace the transfer case ultimately it will cost me 2,000 to fix I have now owned my 2002 mountaineer for three years and will have almost $15,000 into it not including gas and insurance got it at 92k it now has 145k and eventually if I don't fix it it will tie up my awd and my truck will not drive for 50,000 miles and gas price of 2.49 a gallon and let's face it gas got to almost $4 gas alone is a little more then 20,000 so we're up to 35,000 (a house) my insurance cost me around 120 times that by 36 so now we are at $40,000 in 53,000 miles
Need to have a zero reliability, I would give a zero.
Hi my name is Errol 306,000 and still going
I like my Avalon Limited BUT ..... I just learned that to replace my headlight bulbs they need to remove the bumper ( P&L) runs over $500 for both lights - my older Camry cost $30 for parts and 25 min of my own labor. What kind of car co. would build a car that requires removal of the bumper to change the bulb. Although other elements in the car seem to work well after my 8 years of owner ship I am extremely worried what other lame brain ideas guided the decisions that will effect the owners ability to repair their car as it gets older. My other complaint is the suspension which is getting loose, noisy, and less luxury in feel. ( however part of the blame goes to Louisiana roads which are substandard to say the least ) Hope I won't be on the site in a few years complaining about repair cost for things I don't even image yet. I kind of feel like Toyota ( which I have trusted for my last 3 cars) has let me down, hope to be proved wrong !
passenger seat back doesn't in position
Traded wife's BMW 328 for a 2010 C300 with 24000 miles. Have had it 8 months. It has been back to Mercedes 3 times with loss of all power steering fluid, twice in last two weeks. Dealership can't fix problem and charge $300 - $450 each time. Not enough dealerships in the Nashville area to service cars they sell. Impossible to schedule service times unless the vehicle is towed in. First and last Mercedes we will ever own. My wife is driving my BMW and I am in a rental because the dealer doesn't have any loaner. Going back to a BMW.
i love this truck
This is my wife's car. She purchased it new in 2,000. Rides excellent, minimal road noise. Large interior. Normal maintenance performed. Have 140,000 miles on it currently (2015). Has run with little problems until now. The heater core needs to be replaced along with a/c compressor. Can drive it however if I use the ac or htg. we smell antifreeze. I recently received an estimate to fix these two issues, $2,300. Looking for another repair estimate currently. Hate to replace it but may have to.
I have a low compression on #2 engine cylinder. If you have water coming in your car it's from your rear tail lights! The gaskets are made of form not rubber 2" thick??? The cheap way to fix it,, is with making tape and tube of clear 100% silicone calking. Go around the outside of the tail lights, it will last for years. I have 180,000 miles, real nice car. You can get big cars now with 30 mpg for the same price.
No problems with 2013 Edge and at 43K. Overall very happy. Great turning radius.Excellent ride and leg room. Syn nav will sometime lock up. Low marks on interior because there is no place to put your stuff except in the armrest bin. Drink holders needed in lower front doors. Not so sure about the "nitogen filled" tires never needing to be filled. I have had low TP every year. (No leaks or flats involved). AC speeds are like other Fords - very high or very low, no matter what it says.
My 2004 caddy deville now has 225,000 miles on it. Being a mechanic for 34 years I know this engine. There are alot of pattern failures on this vehicle each one replaced. Head gaskets , Transmission 741 code ( Solenoid ) etc etc. I fix my own cars and immaculately take care of them. This car with the repairs and failures was a challenge. Don't listen to the manufacturer. Change the Oil and the Filter every 2500 to 3000 miles , drain and flush the radiator fluid , changing the hoses and dexcool. If you do a brake job blow out the Fluid and put new fluid in the system after 100,000. Do your transmission fluid changes every 50000 miles. This car has to be kept cool and lubed. Good Idea to put a good lube treatment in the fuel tank, such as Lucas Fuel conditioner. The fuel today is a very dry fuel because of the lack of lead and the additives such as ethanol.They don't have it precisely correct, it wouldn't be a bad Idea to add this conditioner to the fuel and once every fill up. It will be worth it. It adds Lubricity to the system, great for the injectors and the fuel pump which has an internal jet pump etc. All this needs to be done because it is an 8 cylinder aluminum engine. Fluids are dry, fuel etc. Think of any car as a big friction machine. lube the shit out of everything and you wont have a problem. But there are generic pattern failures with this car that shouldn't happen to a 48,000 to 50,000 dollar car new. It doesn't matter how well you maintain it. It is a heavy car and the light aluminum parts will go sooner than later. Always use a good replacement part,many have upgrades after pattern failures were reported. Use A/c Delco , Denso, Timkin, GM , or Moog Hub bearings Moog Front end parts etc. Always try to get original GM parts but Moog and Denso Standard have upgrades and excellent quality control sometimes better than GM. Enjoy
I bought my 2007 Taurus in Dec. 2010 with 65850 miles. I had a $1200 heater repair in 2012. It only gets 17 mpg but was a comfortable, reliable car which I enjoyed until today. With just under 108,000 miles on it, the transmission is going. I'm really angry as I expected to get 150,000 or more from this car. No more Fords for me.
I bought this car used with 89,000 miles on it and loved it. It was a very reliable car and decent on gas. The only problem I ever had with it was the fuel regulator. Other than that all I ever put into it for work was routine maintenance and break pads. Motor still ran great when I retired it at 258,000 miles when the transmission went. Considering miles I don't feel it was a bad vehicle at all.
I bought a 2011 in late 2010--Hyundai Sonata and it was a big mistake to buy the first model year. With less than 48,000 miles it's been in the shop at least eight times for (thankfully) warranty work (poor quality manufacturing). The car looks nice inside and out but it gets poor gas mileage and has tons of electrical problems. I bought and drove Hondas for 30 years and will return to them after I get rid of this Sonata.
test review
Dont buy NISSAN, DON'T BUY, DON'T BUY, DON'T BUY, DON'T BUY
I bought my 2010 new, and I notice difference. I've had problems soon after buying it. -plastic on the back/trunk area, broken after oil change. -got dealer to replace, but the broken pc still inside you could hear it -front lights keeps blown out -steering issues OMG -Left coil snapped at 4th year mark -Right coil snapped before 5th year mark -winter: engine too noise, vibration too much -armrest covers starts to come off for no reason -brakes changed and now squeeking like mad
I need help I live in Costa Rica one day coming back home I Park my dodge Nitro 2008 , 2.8 cc Diesel and surprise fire from the Engine... My problems I can't get replacement parts in Costa Rica I have been looking for 4 months and nada used or new parts, the engine still work but I need to replace every thing Buster, alternator, censors, fan, belts all plastic components. Please If you where can I go let me know Use or new email@example.com
Buy this new in 05 .The CD player died at 30k miles on it . Back window leaked . The AC quit working at 40k . Nothing but electrical problems .I am forever done with Chevy .ABS system is a nightmare
I love my Ford 500 Limited. I brought it used with 114,00 miles on it. Now 2 years later the only things that I have to replace was the a/c sensor and alternator which was covered by my warranty. It has 155,000 miles on it and still running great. All I can say is to keep up your maintenance up on your car and It will run just fine. Always get your fluids changed at recommended time. It's cheaper in the beginning rather than costly in the end.

May 27, 2015
Officials with the Army Corps of Engineers met with Florida stakeholders', oystermen and politicians on Monday to discuss the effects of reduced water flow into the Apalachicola Bay.
While recent rain in our area makes the water wars of last year seem like ancient history, the fight is alive and well in the ACF River Basin, as business owners and representatives from all over the south took aim at practices upstream in Georgia. Some even pointed, and that's where emotions took over.
Franklin County Commissioner Joseph Parrish said, "Excuse me; you've never seen anything like this before. You don't have to be a scientist to see and understand this."
An array of people spoke at the congressional forum to Congressmen Allen Boyd from Florida and Heath Shuler from North Carolina; they spoke on the declining health of the southern parts of the river basin to what they attributed to greed in Georgia.
"Georgia and their lack of water planning and the Atlanta metro areas extremely rapid and unbridled development have exacerbated this situation," Florida Congressman Allen Boyd said.
North Carolina Congressman Heath Shuler said, "We're also going through this same thing in North Carolina; that area is where Georgia wants to move the state line. That's not going to happen."
Brigadier General Joseph Schroedel, commander of the South Atlantic division of the Army Corps of Engineers said everything he had heard from the group was nothing new, and the states need to work together on a solution.
"There's no reason that the 16 states should not work together to form a regional water council, it's too vita," said Brigadier General Schroedel.
