Serb Central Bank Buys 10 Million Euros to Temper Dinar Gains
May 7 (Bloomberg) -- Serbia's central bank today bought euros for the sixth time this year to slow gains in the dinar as the currency traded at its strongest levels in 13 months.
The Belgrade-based Narodna Banka Srbije purchased 10 million euros ($13.1 million) from commercial banks to "ease the excessive daily volatility" of the currency, it said on its website. The bank bought 50 million euros on April 29.
Three currency traders in Belgrade, who asked to remain unidentified in line with the policies of their banks, said the central bank was buying euros at levels of about 110.40 and 110.60 dinars to the euro, after the Serbian currency gained 0.3 percent on the day.
The dinar traded at 110.66 at 6:01 p.m. in Belgrade. It has gained 2.45 percent against the euro in the past six months.
With today's intervention, the National Bank of Serbia purchased a total of 90 million euros to slow the gains in the dinar. The currency's strengthening was triggered by the European Commission's decision to recommend that European Union member states begin membership talks with Serbia.

Might Bruins prefer Seguin?
|05.28.10 at 6:00 pm ET
With the NHL Combine all wrapped up in Toronto, it remains unclear whether the Oilers will select Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin with the first overall choice on June 25. Speaking to reporters, however, it appears the Bruins and GM Peter Chiarelli may have a slight preference on one of the players. Check this out from a story posted this afternoon on NHL.com.
"I'm really happy and thankful that we're going to get one of those two," Chiarelli said. "They're terrific kids and good players in their own way. We're really close. It may change in the coming three days when we have our amateur meetings. When you get to this point, maybe that's when you switch over to need. I'm not saying we're going to do that."
The "maybe that's when you switch over to need part" — if we want to read into that, that is — would suggest the Bruins could be prefer Seguin, who absolutely crushed the Combine despite vomiting in the VO2 test. If the team were picking for need one would think they would take the natural winger in Hall, though Chiarelli noted that Seguin, who has played plenty of wing, is fully capable of being the goal-scorer they need. He also added that Hall could play center if need be.
"Both kids said they would play any position," Chiarelli told NHL.com. "I've seen Tyler play the wing. A lot has been written and said that it's a more natural fit for Taylor to come to us because he's a wing and Tyler to go to Edmonton because he's a center. Half the time I've seen Tyler, he's been on wing. He can play wing and frankly, it might be a way to enter him into the NHL, on the wing. Taylor told us that he's played center and loves playing center. That shouldn't be a distinguishing factor."
The Bruins met with Seguin and his family on Tuesday and will do the same with Hall and his family in the coming weeks.

This condo was renovated in early 2005 and is on the third floor of an historic building that is in the center of downtown. Walk to all of the unique locally owned shops, art galleries, delicious restaurants, theaters, the Fine Art cinema, Pack Place and the Orange Peel for a concert. Most of Asheville's festivals start at Pack Place, and that is one block away. Park your car in the deck across the street and leave it there! Watch the Christmas Parade go by from the window and take the elevator to the first floor for a first class dining experience at the Lobster Trap, where they fly in Maine lobsters daily. If you don't feel like venturing out, help yourself to the honor wine bar in the kitchen and order up some dinner or appetizers from the Lobster Trap. If you are interested in experiencing what downtown Asheville is all about, you will not find a better location. We have a private yoga instructor and massage therapist who you can make an appointment with to come to the 'nest' while you are staying with us.
This oasis in the middle of downtown is perfect for those who want a comfortable place to relax in and use as a home away from home, a base for their downtown Asheville explorations. Mature adults only--not a place for college students to come and party.
New! 40' 'smart' HD TV - enjoy your Netflix and Hulu access - just sign into your account and see your movies on our TV.
The kitchen is fully equipped to cook wonderful meals from local ingredients you pick up at the local tailgate markets downtown on Saturdays and Wednesdays, though with so many wonderful restaurants nearby, you may opt out of cooking altogether. Asheville was chosen by Fodor's as the #1 travel destination in the world! Asheville has become known for it's many locally brewed beers, creative restaurants that use locally grown ingredients, and of course for their arts and crafts communities. Within walking distance are several wine stores, an artisan cheese store, bakeries, every type of restaurant, movie theater and music venues.
If you like the outdoors, you will find endless opportunities within an hour of downtown - hiking, mountain biking, running, ziplining, rock climbing, snow skiing, etc. See our website to hear about our favorites picnic spots and hikes nearby. Find out why so many people are moving here! If you are one of those, we proudly recommend two realtors to drive you around to see what you like.

Lynne Harty, local artist/photographer with her husband, Steve Cohen, an artist's manager. Lynne and Steve are happy to help you plan your outdoor adventures, steer you to their favorite restaurants, or stock the kitchen with items for your arrival. Just ask. They both work downtown around the corner from the condo so you can always stop by with any questions.
Lynne and Steve love to hike and explore the area around Asheville, and are happy to share their enthusiasm. They are also very involved in the Asheville art and music community so they are a good resource for your explorations. As Asheville is a foodie haven, they do their best to keep their guests up to date on new restaurants, which is a big job these days! They just added the 'Glad to Have You' app which has recommendations on everything from Lynne's favorite women's clothing store to their favorite spot for a glass of wine.
Lynne Harty purchased this condo in 2004
You can't find a better location in downtown Asheville nor more accommodating hosts, as we've been doing this for 9 years. We love to spend the night in the condo on nights when we are going to a show at the Orange Peel, or when we just want to be able to leave the car behind after a night on the town! I've furnished the condo to feel like a quiet home away from home with everything you need. Often we'll take the elevator down to the Lobster Trap to have a quiet dinner or glass of wine (or even ask them to bring appetizers to our condo for us!). We love the old brick wall in the living room, the funky nature of our old building, and that we have a tree outside our window despite living downtown. It's a very comfortable space.
The condo is a quiet place to stay and sleep despite being in the heart of downtown Asheville. I have wireless internet which makes it easy to work in as well. Many people have used the condo as a retreat. Spa Theology, a day spa next door, will provide in room massage if requested. Also the Lobster Trap on the first floor will deliver their delicious meals to the condo as well - very nice personal service from their accommodating staff. You really won't need a car when staying at our condo as you can walk everywhere in downtown Asheville.
We arrived in Asheville on the day of a snowstorm! Who knew Asheville has little snow and "rolls up the sidewalk" when it arrives. We still managed to be well fed, and certainly enjoyed the delights of this wonderful apartment. Our great joy was seeing the snow dusted fruit of the sweet gum tree outside our window!
My husband and I spent a week in this condo for our anniversary and we loved every minute. It is very clean, well decorated, and in the best location! We had our 3.5 month old son and it was very quiet and close for times when he needed to rest! Great for walking around the downtown area and within driving distance to all area locations. We will definitely use this place again the next time we get a chance to visit!
The location of this was perfect for walking everywhere you needed to go downtown. You can even walk to some of the grocery locations if needed. We enjoyed all the restaurants and micro breweries that we were able to visit. The condo has all you need for cooking if you are so inclined and is clean and cozy.
This was our first time visiting Asheville, and this condo is in the heart of the action -- shopping, dining, etc. Couldn't have asked for anything better -- well furnished and location cannot be beat. I want to move there!
There is no better location in downtown. We were in town for the SoCon basketball tourney and were 1 1/2 blocks from the US Cellular center. The condo is also midway between the Grove Arcade and Pack Square which means you are in the heart of the great restaurants. The condo was very well equipped and maintained plus all the neat photography by owner Lynne Harty. We never moved our car for the entire 4 days. We will return.
We rented the condo for a girls' weekend. The condo is beautifully furnished and decorated and had everything we needed. Comfortable beds and furniture. The check in/check out process was so easy. We loved that the condo is so convenient to many shops and restaurants. We walked almost everywhere! The parking deck being located across the street was perfect. We visited Spa Theology which is right next door. The Lobster Trap restaurant is right off the elevator in the same building. Wonderful since it was so cold out our first night and didn't want to get out. I highly recommend this condo!
We rented this property for Valentine's Day weekend. It was perfect! The decor is really cute. The location is perfect and within walking distance to a lot of restaurants, breweries, and shopping. The only time we needed our car was to go to the Biltmore. The owner was very helpful with recommendations and making sure we knew everything we needed to know before we got there. There are little signs throughout the place that are helpful. The wine available for purchase was a very nice touch and very convenient. We will definitely stay here again and recommend it to all of our friends.
Central location in the heart of downtown Asheville - walk to restaurants, music venues, Civic Center, Diana Wortham, Asheville Art Museum and many shops and restaurants. Parking is $10/24 hours in the Rankin Street public parking garage or Civic Center Parking just past the Rankin deck. Meters are free on Sundays and daily after 6pm

'Fast Five' Poised to Deliver Year's Biggest Opening
Also opening domestically is Prom, the first film greenlighted by Disney Studios chairman Rich Ross to hit theaters. The teen romantic comedy, made for a modest $8 million, targets girls ages 8 to 13, since the film's PG rating might be a turn-off for older teen girls.
Disney is hoping for an opening in the $7 million to $9 million range. Prom goes out in 2,730 locations.
Directed by Joe Nussbaum, Prom's cast includes Aimee Teegarden, Nicholas Braun, Danielle Campbell, Cameron Monaghan and Christine Elise McCarthy.
The Weinstein Co. will try to grab even younger kids with 3D toon Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil.
Like Prom, Hoodwinked is expected to gross in the $7 million to $9 million range, helped by higher-priced 3D tickets. The pic goes out in 2,505 theaters, 75% of which are 3D.
Hoodwinked faces tough competition in Fox's box office hit Rio, which should stay high up on the chart in its third weekend. Universal's family film Hop also remains a contender.
The Weinstein Co. believes there is enough room in the marketplace for all three family films, but Hoodwinked Too! will have a hard time matching the $12.4 million opening of the first Hoodwinked.
Hoodwinked Too! is a co-production with Maurice Kanbar's Kanbar Entertainment (Kanbar created SKYY Vodka). Insiders say Kanbar put up much of the financing for the $30 million film.
Also this weekend, Omni Lab/Freestyle Releasing is opening supernatural action pic Dylan Dog: Dead at Night, starring Brandon Routh, in 862 theaters.
At the specialty box office, IFC opens Werner Herzog's 3D documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams in five theaters, including in New York and Los Angeles.
Overseas, Fast Five expands into additional markets, but Thor will have the biggest footprint as it opens in most of the world a week ahead of its domestic bow. Paramount wants to take advantage of May Day, a significant holiday internationally.

Computer Freezes When Cutting/Pasting in Favorites
by vrygreen - 7/9/13 12:08 AM
When I add a link to my favorites, it won't save to a folder. Instead, I have to save it in the general section and then cut and paste into the folder.
However, when I do this the first time each day, the computer freezes and I have to end the program in the task manager. After that it seems to be ok.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From the Publisher"Driscoll and Breshears have teamed up to provide a new generation of pastors and Christian leaders with a biblically sound, tartly relevant, and crisply practical guide to understanding the church. This book lives up to its subtitle, Timeless Truths and Timely Methods. The authors' wit, grit, and gravitas combine to make it an enjoyable and thought provoking must-read for twenty-first-century spiritual leadership."
—Rick Booye, Senior Pastor, Trail Christian Fellowship, Eagle Point, Oregon; President, Pacific Bible College, Medford, Oregon
"Having treated us to Vintage Jesus and Death by Love, Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears team up again to provide a third installment that addresses the nature, life, and missional character of the church of Jesus Christ. Pastors, church members, and those who are just wondering about Jesus and his church will find this book to be very helpful. The expected topics-church leadership, preaching, baptism, the Lord's Supper-are covered clearly and practically. What I especially appreciate is the discussion of often overlooked topics like church unity, discipline, and love, and the attention given to new topics like multi-site campuses and the use of technology. "Timeless" and "timely" are apt descriptions of this book on the church that is must reading!"
—Gregg R. Allison, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Vintage Church is a remarkable book. Mark and Gerry seek to be rigorously biblical and theologically faithful as they address the doctrine of the church. However, the real uniqueness to this book is its personal and practical insights. Remaining faithful to the gospel of Jesus, the authors help us think and see how to do church in a twenty-first-century context that presents both challenges and opportunities to the body of Christ. Timeless truths and timely methods indeed are woven together in a beautiful tapestry. This is a valuable work."
—Daniel L. Akin, President, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
"Gerry Breshears and Mark Driscoll combine the thinking of a theologian with the experience of an innovative church leader to bring us fresh approaches to ministry that are more relevant without being less biblical. This book is an inspiring application of what it means for the body of Christ to be 'in the world but not of it.'"
—Dan Jarrell, Teaching Pastor, ChangePoint Church, Anchorage, Alaska

text: Place the unbaked pie crust in a quiche dish or a 9-inch pie plate, pressing until the edges of the pie crust come up the sides to the top. Flute the top edge, if desired. With a fork, prick bottom and sides of pie crust. Place the pie crust in a 400 degree (F) oven and bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and set aside. Reduce oven heat to 375 degrees (F). In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 well-beaten eggs, 1 cup milk, ¼ cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon white pepper. Whisk or stir with a large spoon, until mixture is combined. Stir in a 9-oz. package of frozen chopped broccoli (thawed and drained) and 4-oz. crumbled feta cheese. Pour mixture into baked pie crust. Place foil around edges to protect the crust from over-browning, if crust is already brown. Bake quiche at 375 degrees (F) for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let quiche sit in pan for 10 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve while hot. This is a quick and easy dish that is also tasty and impressive! I hope you enjoy it! --Betty

The room was nice and comfy
The shower doors swings open into the toilet making a loud noise.
The best thing was the Chinese Restaurant on site. The food was really amazing and restaurant owners so loving.
The room was dark, run down, tears in carpet, gross tub, terrible front desk staff...super unfriendly.
convenient off the freeway. easy, friendly. comfortable bed. good price
lots of freeway noise. basic, no frills motel room
Room was nice for a one star hotel.
Very close to interstate and room door didn't have a good seal so the noise of the traffic was a little obnoxious.
The politeness of all staff from check-in at 2:00AM to our departure. Location right off I-5, perfect place to get good night's sleep before next day's drive. The room and bathroom were as clean as possible, also linens. Great value for the money.
Criticisms from reviewers who pay $-- a night and want the experience of a $--- a night hotel and complain about quality of linen, closeness to I-5. This place a bargain, Never disappointed. Always clean. Staff helpful.
The staff was friendly and efficient during the check-in and check-out process. The location was good and the water was soft.
The mattress was hard as a rock and had hard lumps. The only toiletries provided were two bars of soap. One set of very thin towels was provided; the bath towel would barely be adequate for a toddler. No clock or radio in the room. No hair dryer.
Very friendly
Spa & pool were not available & I wS expecting a bigger bathtub
Staff is so nice and friendly. Always make you feel at home. Remembers you from previous stay. Always have a great experience staying at wasco best western.
That I couldn't stay longer!
Staff was excellent
met expectations
The air conditioning worked. The important parts were clean.
Dirty carpet, generally pretty shabby.

Anyhow, Radrisol had this neeto idea... he made up this comic:
Now here's the catch... you need to e-mail radrisol, and tell him who you want to win the PS2. The winner will whup some ass and get the PS2! (Hint: Pick me. O:) Gotta give credit where credit is due... Rad really came up with a good idea here! :) Good man, adam... good man. The Icee is in the mail. Uh... on second thought, that'd be kind of messy. (Readers - you'll see what I'm talking about in a future comic. ;)
P.S.: Hi! Black Chocobo here. Gin, in his business and his disappointment at the lack of actual questions forgot that since Goog is going to be out of town for a couple days, he's going to have some column relief, and I'm taking tomorrow's shift. So, if you emailed a question to Goog before I noticed and changed that mailto link up there, you'll have to send it to me if you want it to get answered. See ya tomorrow!

A desert beauty: Borrego Springs
There's plenty to explore, or simply bask in the tranquillity
If you go
For a complete listing of hotels and restaurants, go to borregospringschamber.com.
Accommodations include:
•Borrego Springs Resort, borregospringsres..., (888) 826-7734.
•Borrego Valley Inn, borregovalleyinn.com (800) 333-5810.
•The Palms and Indian Head Desert Inn, thepalmsatindianh... (760) 767-7788.
•Palm Canyon Resort, a resort and RV park, pcresort.com (800) 242-0044.
•The Springs at Borrego, an RV park, springsatborrego.com (866) 330-0003.
There are also a number of motels and vacation rental companies.
There are no guarantees that the first-time visitor to Borrego Springs will see a Peninsular bighorn sheep.
Lots of people say they have. "There were two right by the side of the road as we drove in," they'll say.
"We saw a whole herd about 200 yards away on a ridge while we were hiking the Palm Canyon trail," others will brag.
But there are many who have been going to San Diego County's desert town for years, decades even, who have never laid eyes on the rare sheep that has provided the desert with its name. Borrego means lamb in Spanish.
What can be guaranteed by a trip to Borrego Springs is that visitors will be treated to a very different environment than they are used to in the city or suburbs.
At night the stars are vivid, almost surreal. Borrego Springs was recently named an International Dark Sky Community, only the second in the world. There are only about 25 streetlights in the small downtown area, and there are no fast-food restaurants or big-box stores. The nearest traffic signal is about 50 miles away.
Just getting there is fun. San Diego County's backcountry is beautiful and you see a lot of it on the drive.
The town, with a population of about 2,500, sits in the middle of the state's largest park, which encompasses more than 600,000 acres.
People go there for all sorts of reasons. Some like to camp in the state or private campgrounds and hike along the many trails. Some go for the golf or tennis and some prefer to just lounge poolside for a day or two at a hotel or resort.
The most luxurious hotel of all, what for years was known as La Casa del Zorro, is no more, having been sold by the Copley Press a couple years back. An investment company bought it and renamed it Borrego Ranch, but then closed it down within a year due to lack of business and what locals considered a poor and unfriendly management philosophy.
Many places to stay and relax remain.
At night visitors can often hear coyotes wailing in the distance.
But it's the early mornings that many love most.
Get up before dawn and start driving east into the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park as the sun rises. Park your car just about anywhere, get out, and take in the vast loneliness of the desert and its magnificent silence. Watch the stars disappear and watch the sunlight illuminate the tops of the peaks and then all of the mountains.
"The most common comment we get from people coming out from San Diego or Orange County or Los Angeles is how astounded they are at how quiet it is out here," said Mark Jorgensen, who spent 33 years working as a ranger and later superintendent of the state park until retiring in 2009.

Crag features
Benllech beach crag does exactly what it says on the tin, situated on the beach front as you walk towards Craig Dwlban along the beach front from the Benllech beach parking with heights up to 8m.
The crag fits all bouldering needs from easy traverses to super hard roof problems and always has dry areas for those rainy days (unless accompanied by strong onshore winds). Landings are always onto soft dry sand so no need for a spotter or even a mat!!
There also looks like potential for a few short but hard sport routes closer to the beach parking (watch this space).
The area is no stranger to chalked hands with fantastic sea cliff sport routes popping up all the while in the area with much thanks to a pioneering handful.
There appears to be no data on the crag at present so if anyone has any more information, please message me.
Access notes
Park at the beach parking (pay and display) and walk along the beach front.

If you're looking for a great family destination where kids are welcomed with open arms, you can't go past Vietnam.
Here are just some of the reasons Vietnam is such a fantastic, family-friendly destination:
Kids are welcome
All children are welcomed with open arms, whether they are local kids or travellers. At some of the major sights your kids will probably feel like celebrities, as large groups of Vietnamese tourists crowd around and request a photo.
It might be a good idea to warn your kids about this beforehand, and let them know it's ok to feel overwhelmed - there's nothing wrong with politely asking for some space. But most will find themselves getting caught up in the excitement, and soon realise the Vietnamese only have good intentions.
Fussy eaters are well catered for in Vietnam. As well as lots of simple, traditional noodle and soup dishes that are easy on the palette, you'll find most places also offer western alternatives such as pizza, spaghetti bolognaise and toasted sandwiches.
If you can't see anything on the menu to entice, speak to the waiters and they will probably be able to help out, even if it's just a bowl of chips to settle a hungry tummy.
Your money will go a long way in Vietnam, and you'll be able to enjoy most of the major activities and sights such as the War Museum in Ho Chi Minh, Cu Chi tunnels, markets, temples, water parks and more.
Fun to plan
Once you've decided on the destination, it's great to get the kids involved with planning. When it comes to Vietnam, Peregrine has two exciting itineraries to choose from. You'll have a blast Googling all the highlights and picking out your favourites.
Cruise and kayak around beautiful Halong Bay, take an elephant ride on Lak Lake, meet the Red Dzao villagers of Ta Phin, take a cooking class in Hoi An and snorkel in Nha Trang. There's so much to do your kids will make memories to last the rest of their lives.
WIN a trip to Cambodia for you and a friend! Simply "Like" us on Facebook then follow the link and enter online. It's so easy!
Have you travelled with kids? What were some of the highlights? Leave a comment below then head to Twitter and Facebook to see what the rest of the Peregrine community thinks.

Augusta Christian's T'Asia Robinson doesn't have much free time.
In addition to school, Robinson is the captain of the cheerleaders and a prospective collegiate tennis player. She was also named the first black homecoming queen in the school's history, something she is especially proud of.
"I think that will definitely be my highlight for my senior year," said Robinson.
She said head football coach Keith Walton's daughter told her she was going to be next and that epitomized what breaking the color barrier meant for her.

Jessica Giddens has been involved with drama and other creative outlets at Lakeside High School. So when the budding playwright and actress heard her name announced as the school's 2012 homecoming queen, she was ready for the spotlight.
She raised both arms in triumph then began blowing kisses to the crowd. The crowd cheered loudly when she was introduced as a potential candidate, and roared when the decision was made official.
Region 2-AAAAA Region Meet at Wildwood Park, 1 p.m. (boys), 1:40 p.m. (girls).
Augusta Christian in SCISA State playoffs vs TBA, 7:30 p.m.
Augusta Prep in GFC Playoffs vs. East Atlanta/Holy Spirit winner, at St. Pius X, TBA
A few weeks back when the Harlem girls softball team won the Region 3-AA championship, I trumpeted that as the team's first-ever region crown. Turns out I was wrong.
The Lady Bulldogs won the Region 3-AAA title in 2001 and 2002. In 2001, they won it under coach Krista Meadows. When she moved on, the Lady Bulldogs repeated under first-year head coach Melissa Chase.
Thanks to Joan Braswell for pointing out my mistake. By no means did I mean to diminish the accomplishments of those young ladies by omission.

If you are trigger-happy and camera is your weapon of choice, then you would certainly like to showcase your photography skills. Now you may ask, what is there to showcase in photography other than just the pictures? Well, it's the tricks and ways that one takes the pictures with the camera; which matters. This knowledge is what most novice photographers seek from the seasoned ones. However, many experts don't share it or they are inaccessible due to distance and their busy schedule. You may make a difference by blogging your way to the hearts of the aspiring photographers.
How should you blog about photography?
First thing here is that there would be many photos that you will have to post on your blog, to show what you are talking about to the audience. Other than that you will also have to write a good deal of content, in the most simple and comprehensive manner that even a layman could understand it conveniently.
- Content: The content for the blog should consist of both photos and the written directions to configure the camera for the shown result. This content will have the various practices and settings of the components of the camera as well as the lens. However, making sure that the written content is plagiarism free is of high importance; while it is also a subjective piece is of high importance.
- References: There has to be ample amount of references to the work of prominent photographers in the blog. This will give the audience the confidence that you are delivering them the advanced skills in a comprehensive module. It will also make your blog popular among them, without much significant effort on your part.
- Photo album: Maintaining a photo album in the blog with the details of the photographs is certain to give a quick view to the audience about your proficiency and skill. It could also work as an advertisement for your blog as well as you, if you wish to be a commercial photographer for hire.
- Offers: Every week, you may put up a contest among your blog followers and ask them to send in their best shot photographer to you. The chosen one could be offered a spot in your blog and you may write about them. This will encourage more novice photographers to view your blog regularly and try to get themselves as one of your chosen one; published on the blog.
- Organise offline events: If you live in a picturesque area then you could organise photography events or walks. These will attract a good response from the new photographers who have followed you for a while now. This is also a good opportunity for you to meet them and interact with them. Keeping a cover-fee for some expenses would be nice, for there will certainly be some unforeseen expenses like entering a national park or museum or a garden.
Overall, preparing a sound blog and blogging your way through your photography will not only help others; but it will also prepare a sound portfolio for you as well.

BOISE -- Police responded to a report of a suspicious man carrying a shotgun while dressed in camouflage near W. Overland Road and Latah Street Monday morning.
Boise Police say a neighbor called to report the man just before 10 a.m. They say the caller was concerned because he'd been approached by the man who was wearing camo, a bandolier with ammunition, and carrying a shotgun.
Police say the caller reported the armed man was talking, but not making sense.
Officers responded to the call and found the armed man on the roof of his home.
Police then blocked nearby streets, and helped several residents voluntarily evacuate their homes.
The man was eventually calmed down a short time later, and persuaded to leave his roof by Ada County Sheriff's deputies, including a deputy who knew the man from high school.
Officers have identified the man as a war veteran currently suffering from emotional issues. They're currently helping the man seek appropriate medical treatment.

Coach Bill Byouer and the Thunder Mountain High School football program continue to send its seniors to the next level.
Cameron Fronimos and Ben Hotch are the third and fourth players in Falcons' history to commit to play football in college after committing to the College of the Siskiyous in Weed, Calif.
"College of the Siskiyous has a good program that's getting kids out into scholarships at bigger colleges after their two-year stint there," Byouer said. "So it's a smart, economical thing right now.
The Crimson Bears boys' soccer team might still be nursing some injuries but for a team yet to play at full strength, Juneau-Douglas looks pretty good.
The Bears came out and blasted the Falcons 10-0 on Tuesday night at Thunder Mountain High School, though it took a while for the defending state champs to get going. Other than a quick score from midfielder Sage Thibodeau, the Falcons' defense held strong for roughly 20 minutes of the first half. But eventually the Bears' pressure was too much.
Dominance has become a theme for the Juneau-Douglas girls' soccer team when it comes to playing Thunder Mountain, and Tuesday's tilt was no different.
Senior Sarah Tarver scored four goals and the Juneau-Douglas defense shut out the Falcons in a 12-0 win at Thunder Mountain High School. JDHS came out firing, connecting on two scores in the opening minutes, and never let up on a night where weather conditions were much more favorable than the last time the two sides met.
Thunder Mountain's boys' soccer team already looks significantly improved from a year ago but unfortunately, the growing pains aren't quite over.
The Falcons' opposition on Saturday afternoon hadn't been able to muster a goal all weekend against defending 4A state champion Juneau-Douglas, and South took its frustrations out on TMHS.
The Wolverines scored four goals in the first 14 minutes, and that was more than enough as the visitors left Juneau with an 8-0 win Saturday at Adair-Kennedy Memorial Park.
Bad weather dampened the opening prep track and field meet at Sitka over the weekend, but the two local schools had strong performances with the Thunder Mountain boys and the Juneau-Douglas girls rolling to big wins.
On the boys' side, TMHS took first, followed by Sitka, Ketchikan and Juneau-Douglas. The Crimson Bears scored a big win on the girls' side and were followed by TMHS, Ketchikan and Sitka. The points totals were unofficial Saturday night, but TMHS coach Scott May said the places won't be affected when the scores are official.
It was the season opener for the Thunder Mountain girls' soccer team, but that celebration took a back seat to two other factors Friday evening: Mother Nature and powerful team from Juneau-Douglas.
The Crimson Bears took a 2-0 lead into the half and then overwhelmed the young Falcons after the break, scoring seven more goals on their way to a 9-0 shutout at cold, windy and rainswept Thunder Mountain High School. Bears coach Matt Dusenberry said while he'll take the outcome, the conditions on the pitch were far from ideal.
The Thunder Mountain boys' soccer team expects improvement in 2011, and it will depend on an old face in a new position to help meet increased expectations.
An assistant coach in the program's first year, head coach Ry Walters said this young team has promise. With only one senior in the entire program, the outlook is positive for the Falcons.
But first things first, Walters said: He needed to get accustomed to the role of lead man.
Outside of the sideways rain and swirling wind, it was a good opening weekend for the Thunder Mountain boys' soccer team.
Falcons forward Brandon Monges found the ball on a breakaway down the center of the field and chipped the ball over the goalie's head into the back of the net to give the Falcons a 1-0 victory on Saturday afternoon at cold, rainy Thunder Mountain High School.
One year older, one year better.
At least that's what Thunder Mountain hopes is the case for its young girls' soccer team in its second season.
Much like most of their counterparts in other sports, the Falcons struggled in their first year. The young Thunder Mountain program — there were no seniors on the 2010 team — failed to record a win in its inaugural season. But with a year under their belts and more bodies on the bench, this year's team is ready to show improvement on the pitch.
Thunder Mountain lost just one senior from last year's inaugural track and field team, but it's almost like starting over after the addition of nearly 20 fresh faces as the Falcons prepare for Year 2 with a weekend trip to Sitka beginning Friday.

General secretary of the Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Vaiko helped a functionary of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam and his friend who got injured in a road accident. He got them admitted to Cuddalore headquarters government hospital on Sunday.
The police sources said that while Mr. Vaiko was returning to Cuddalore after attending a family function of a party man at B. Mutlur, he saw two persons with injuries lying on the road side at Periapattu.
Mr. Vaiko directed his driver to stop the car and went to the injured persons to enquire about their health. The injured were Arjunan (45), a DMK functionary at Periapattu, and his friend Manikandan (30). Mr. Vaiko asked the partymen accompanying him to take the injured immediately to the government hospital.

"Get on Your Boots"
Bono doesn't wanna debate the importance of increasing international aid to emerging nations, babe. Bono's not in the mood to defend his occasional New York Times columns or enthuse about the Age of Obama. What Bono would very much like to do is compliment your striking footwear, string together random unrelated if mildly provocative phrases, and shimmy around to the Edge's zigzag B52 bomber-sized guitar stylings as you apply glow-in-the-dark lip gloss.
"Return" is decidedly security-blanket cozier in tone than the cold-eyed, primitivist drone Meyers once doled out as Panther Skull, juxtaposing the crank-handle tinkle of a music box with wispy static and a field recording of kids horsing around in a park.
"Can't Get Right"
Nottz's splayed, purp-drunk organ sweeps host a rap godfather's grumbled, justifiably frustrated rumblings—"Can't afford to fill our prescriptions, so we all gon' die/CVS is slingin' dope on every block, worldwide"—while Bilal continues to cement his status as the '00s clean-up hook warbler of choice for introspective "mad-real" hip-hop cuts.
Tyga, Tyga, burning bright? Not just yet, but there's certainly promise latent in the class-clown elasticity of his flow. The MC's Sunshine State heritage gives this Fall Out Boy/Gym Class Heroes affiliate license to insinuate that his pimp hand's callused and strong over Snoop Dogg's "Who Am I?" beat, even though he knows that we know he's full of shit.
"Boy Crazy"
Must teeny-bopper pop singles be so mercilessly insipid, so narrow in scope, so vapid? More likely than not, Vistoso Bosses will tour with Lil Mama—who'll promptly mop up the stage with them. Given his professed FannyPack jones, this may pique Chuck Eddy's interest.

Perennials that Attract Butterflies
Lavandula stoechas pedunculata
We are enchanted with the unusual personality of this variety, which sports neat lavender ears as much as an inch long at the top of dense flower heads. Spanish Lavender is less hardy than the other varieties we offer; gardeners in colder climates are encouraged to grow it in a container and place it in a sunny, south-facing window for the winter.
Many gardeners grow Lavender for its fragrance, but the genus includes several excellent garden plants that should be more widely used for their midsummer beauty and resistance to deer, heat, and drought. The cool, gray-green foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the slender, arching flower stems. Some varieties are small, others tall, but they all prefer well-drained, sweet soil and full sun. Plant them in masses or as small hedges, and you'll find that they are attractive and useful long after the spent flowers have been clipped off.

National GOP leader vows to help boot Tennessee House speaker from office
NASHVILLE -- Over the weekend, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele ventured into Tennessee House Speaker Kent Williams' backyard in upper East Tennessee and pledged to oust Williams next year.
The Kingsport Times-News quoted Steele as saying: "I got a bull's-eye right on his back and we're taking him out."
Williams is the second-term legislator and Elizabethton restaurateur who stunned fellow Tennessee Republicans when he joined the House's 49 Democrats in voting for himself for speaker Jan. 13 to defeat his own Republican Caucus' nominee.
For that, the Tennessee Republican Party declared he was no longer a member of the GOP and could not appear as a Republican on next year's ballot. Williams responded to the state party chairman by designating himself a "Carter County Republican."
On Tuesday, he responded to the national GOP chairman's attack by saying that as House speaker for 41/2 months, he has upheld core GOP principles on small business, gun rights, anti-abortion issues and small government while putting partisan rhetoric and distractions behind to focus on the priorities of Tennesseans.
"I have a 100 percent voting record with the National Federation of Independent Businesses. ... Under my tenure as speaker, I have guided to the House floor legislation which has allowed legally permitted handgun owners to carry their guns in additional areas for their self-protection," he said. "We have moved to the floor of the House and passed for the first time ever Senate Joint Resolution 127, allowing the people to vote on a pro-life amendment to our constitution."
Williams claimed that he has found support from Tennesseans for his approach, despite "the politics of Washington telling them to think otherwise. This is a challenging time in our history. I will not let rhetoric and outside distractions keep me from the work we have at hand."
Steele was the main speaker at the Sullivan County GOP's annual Reagan Day dinner Saturday night in Kingsport. The Times-News reported that his "sharp criticism of Williams drew approving applause in the crowd of about 600 Republicans." Steele said Williams had "betrayed every Republican in this state."

Coastal defense: New thinking needed
A major risk with the current obsession with climate change adaptation is in fact maladaptation: expensive solutions to problems that may never emerge or which themselves create new problems (the famous law of unintended consequences). This is evident in Vietnam where in 2009 the prime minister approved a plan to build concrete sea dikes (replacing the existing dirt dikes), at a cost of US$3 million per kilometer, along the entire coastline. This was motivated in part by a World Bank study that showed that most of the Mekong Delta will be flooded when sea level rises by 1 meter as it is predicted to do sometime between 2050 and 2100. A study by an academic at Can Tho University of the costs and benefits of concrete sea dikes around the Mekong Delta concluded that these were a good idea (http://www.eepsea.net/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=434:adaptation-to-sea-level-rise-in-the-vietnamese-mekong-river-delta-should-a-sea-dike-be-built?&Itemid=192). The assumptions on which the study is based are highly selective, however. For example, it assumes that rice and freshwater shrimp are the highest value land uses in the coastal zone, ignoring the benefits of saltwater aquaculture and changing market demands over time. … | Vietnamese

Livelihoods threatened in Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia by migration of a sandy barrier beach
The Peam Krasop Wildlife Sanctuary is home to several small communes, where livelihoods rely on the natural resources of the surrounding mangrove forest. Residents of Old Peam Krasop village are highly dependent on green mussel cultivation, fishing and aquaculture, visible in a wide channel leading to the sea. The village has existed since 1964, currently with around 25 households accomodating 70 people.

Sitting on the prow of a Thai longboat the color of fire and just as hot because of the unsympathetic April sun, I gazed into the abundant mangrove trees, my eyes unfocused, seeing my surroundings more fully. With the red hawks soaring on thermals, fish bouncing along the river surface like skipped rocks, local fishermen hydroplaning by in rainbow mini-boats, and the hypnotizing mangroves with roots like perfectly frayed rope, I can see more if I do not look specifically at any one part of the scene, but let my perception expand to acknowledge the scene as a whole. …
