I'm confused about the latest Avengers issue. Last I read in another issue, Captain Marvel was alive and Ms. Marvel and Noh Var were helping him. Then this new issue came out and Noh Var betrayed everyone and went to the supreme intelligence. I don't get what's going on. Can someone help me out? Thanks ahead of time.
Captain Marvel, Noh Varr and Ms. Marvel? What's going on?

NEW ORLEANS -- State Representative Austin Badon said Monday a private salvage company will begin removing submerged vehicles from Bayou St. John in hopes of finding clues about Terrilynn Monette, a missing Jefferson Parish school teacher.
There are reportedly more than 20 submerged cars and trucks in the waterway along City Park.
Monette was last spotted in her car on a traffic camera near City Park, turning from Harrison Avenue onto Marconi Drive after leaving a bar, Parlay's Dream Lounge, in Lakeview on March 2.
The New Orleans Police Department will supervise the vehicle removal from Bayou St. John.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) continues to issue Form I-9 Notices of Inspection to businesses across the nation. In fiscal year 2012, ICE served 3,004 Notices of Inspection to businesses, totaling over $12 million in fines. Additionally, ICE made 520 criminal arrests tied to worksite enforcement investigations. These criminal arrests involved 240 individuals who were owners, managers, supervisors or human resources employees.
The Notices of Inspection require employers to allow ICE to inspect their I-9 forms to determine compliance with employment eligibility verification laws. Once the Notice of Inspection has been issued, the targeted employer has three days to provide ICE with the company's I-9 forms to be reviewed. In addition to I-9 forms for current and recently terminated employees, employers will be asked to turn over payroll records, list of current employees, and information about the company's ownership.
Civil penalties for errors on the I-9 form can range from $110 to $1,100 per violation. Civil penalties for knowingly hiring and continuing to employ unauthorized workers range from $375 to $3,200 per violation for first time violations. In determining penalty amounts, ICE considers five factors: size of the business, good faith effort to comply, seriousness of violation, whether the violation involved unauthorized workers and history of previous violations.
Here are a few tips to help protect your company and limit exposure for I-9 violations:

The Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, installed radars and advanced spying equipment in the Iraqi island of Om al Rassas near the city of Basra to monitor Iranian military and security movements, al Hayat newspaper reported Sunday. The paper reports, according to "informed sources," that this was done with the cooperation of the U.S. forces in Iraq. The radars were installed on high pillars less than a mile away from an Iranian port and can be seen clearly from Iranian soil, the sources claimed. This comes while Iran's chief nuclear negotiator warned that Iran would retaliate if the U.S. or Israel attacked its atomic facilities.

Overall Experience
May 20, 2015
Best hotel in Oak Harbor by far. Rooms far exceed other hotels and the staff is on the ball and very quiet and comfortable even with lots of guests.
Ideal accomodations
May 11, 2015
I was pleased with the room and the overall accomodations. The room had a sweep on the bottom of the door and curtains that did a good job of darkening the room; the fan on the air conditioning ran constantly, which I like - I hate hotel rooms where I can hear every noise in the hall when the fan cycles off. Loved the free laundry - it will let me travel lighter and I don't have the hassle of running back and forth and checking a dryer and feeding it more quarters. Staff was very friendly. I will keep the pet-friendly policy in mind when I travel for pleasure.
Great Service
May 05, 2015
The management and staff are top-notch. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in the Oak Harbor area.
Another great experience
May 04, 2015
We continue to enjoy our stays at Candlewood Suites, Oak Harbor. This past stay was as good as others in the past even though we had some problems this time with the WIFI in our room due to the installation of new routers in the hotel during our stay. The general manager (Pam) did everything she could to remedy the problem by providing technical support and even offering to move us to another room so we could have better WIFI service.

This was a cinch!

This improvement took 10 minutes tops, and while it didn't exactly change my life, it was a real ego boost for the refrigerator.

As you all know iPhone 5 will be announce very soon on October 4th …. so who's gonna buy it ?
I am LOVE NEW gadgets
I am really looking forward to see what they will present this year.
I'm really hoping to get a good trade in deal for my iPhone 4.
I sold my iPhone 4 before 5 comes out
That depends of the new features that the iPhone 5 will have.
Damn, they were already way ahead of the competition with iPhone 4. ... now 5 ? Hope it does not bring many new features so they won't tempt me into buying.
I will ask my work to allow me to trade my old one in (or drop it) when it comes out
I'm there! ...please have a bigger screen, please have a bigger screen…
Will Steve Jobs attend to iPhone 5 events ?

Warm welcome and very comfortable large room. Clean bathroom with everything one needs. A very good abundant breakfast. We would have liked some mineral water in the bedroom. Our only niggle was with the light shining through the glass fronted bedroom door from the upstairs passage. The door curtains could not keep the light out.

I got off work late one night a few days later and had five voicemails, all from Lindsey, the first four sounding more and more urgent. Finally the last one said that she had a surprise for me when I got to my apartment. I wasn't in a rush to get home.

There she was laying on the couch watching TV waiting for me to get home. She was wearing her white terry...Read On

This month i completely forgot what is the word ''SALE''..Only 4 sales!!Can't wait for september to come. 14 days till the end of August!!!!!
14 days til the end of my best month.
I hve also had a stinker of a month. It's as if my profile has been deleted. Good for you though LumenMedia!
Ha-ha! I`ve got just one sale – $4. So, don`t worry
With August I came back to normal number of sales, maybe a little less (45 so far), but I sell almost no more cinematic and corporate (and I sell more sfx), maybe because film schools are closed now; so my earnings are the half of previous months.
I hope that with September my sales and earnings will increase, even more than my best months
Don't get me wrong but i'm relieved to see a thread like this and replies like these. It's now a month since i joined the site and i was freaked out 'cause i couldn't think of a way to promote myself and started to think i composed all the wrong stuff and that was a huge hit on my self-esteem. Hope this is not the case and August is just a slow month! Best of luck to you all!
Love, Cottonball.
good luck to all of you.I am sure that from next month sales will go up
And dont forget there will be a bundle in the end of August
Pavel "CHA!"
a very bad month for me!! let's hope in the future!
Bad month for me too. I've uploaded loads of new stuff too.

More than Half of Highway Fatalities Are Related to Deficient Roadway Conditions
New Study Shows More Forgiving Roads Would Save Lives and Cut Costs; Health Experts & Transportation Leaders Urge Congressional Action
In revealing that deficiencies in the roadway environment contributed to more than 22,000 fatalities and cost the nation more than
"If we put as much focus on improving road safety conditions as we do in urging people not to drink and drive, we'd save thousands of lives and billions of dollars every year," principal study author Dr.
Titled "On a Crash Course: The Dangers and Health Costs of Deficient Roadways," the study found the
The report concluded that roadway related crashes impose
"Recent concerns about swine flu pale in comparison to the number of crash victims I treat," said Dr.
On a Crash Course identifies ways transportation officials can improve road conditions to save lives and reduce injuries. For example, immediate solutions for problem spots include: replacing non-forgiving poles with breakaway poles, using brighter and more durable pavement markings, adding rumble strips to shoulders, mounting more guardrails or safety barriers, and installing better signs with easier-to-read legends. The report also suggested more significant road improvements, including: adding or widening shoulders, improving roadway alignment, replacing or widening narrow bridges, reducing pavement edges and abrupt drop offs, and clearing more space adjacent to roadways.
"Although behavioral factors are involved in most crashes, avoiding those crashes through driver improvement requires reaching millions of individuals and getting them to sustain best safety practices," continued Miller. "It is far more practical to make the roadway environment more forgiving and protective."
The report also analyzed crash costs on a state-by-state basis. The 10 states with the:
Highest total cost from crashes involving deficient road conditions are (alphabetically):
Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennesseeand Texas.
Highest road-related crash costs per million vehicle miles of travel are:
Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennesseeand West Virginia.
Highest road-related crash costs per mile of road are:
California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Yorkand South Carolina.
PIRE is a leading independent transportation safety research organization. It has conducted research for a range of organizations, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, National Safety Council and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). Drawing upon the most recent available data from the U.S. Department of Transportation, PIRE employed analytic modeling methods to evaluate the causes and costs of U.S. motor vehicle crashes in preparing On a Crash Course.
PIRE conducted the study on behalf of the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC), which hosts the full report, complete state-by-state data and other research findings at www.transportationconstructioncoalition.org. TCC members are calling on Congress to provide significant, dedicated funding for roadway safety improvements and to develop programs that encourage states to invest even more. The federal law that governs transportation funding will expire this fall, and congressional committees are now in the process of drafting successor legislation.

MULE EAR PEAKS. The Mule Ear Peaks are in the Chisos Mountains seven miles northeast of Castolon and eighteen miles southwest of Panther Junction within Big Bend National Park in southern Brewster County (at 29°09' N, 103°24' W). The peaks, at an elevation of 3,881 feet above sea level, rise some 1,040 feet above Smoky Creek, just to the east. Soils in the area are shallow and stony and support live oak, piñon pine, juniper, and grasses. The twin peaks are part of a dike-like intrusion of relatively young rhyolite. They were named for their distinctive appearance.

A day after the controversy over the alleged sexist remarks made by Indi rock band Euphoria's singer-composer Palash Sen, IIT Bombay announced that it has blacklisted Sen and Euphoria.
Prof Urjit Yagnik, director of Student Affairs at IIT-B, told dna, "The band and Palash Sen have been blacklisted." Will the decision be revoked if Sen apologises? Yagnik said, "That I can't say because, as of now, he has not apologised."
Sen had made the remarks during his performance at IIT-B's annual festival Mood Indigo on Saturday in front of more than 10,000 students from over 800 colleges across India.
Presenting his popular song dhoom pichak dhoom, he had asked the crowd, "Are there beautiful women in IIT-Bombay?" Sen had allegedly asked the question thrice and boys from IIT-B and outside had replied in the negative, leaving the girls present feeling humiliated.
Sen had said, "IITians should not be too heartbroken because they will get the best girls in the market once they're out. Aur who tumhare liye roti belengi (They will make rotis for you)."
The girls' outrage became national when one of them, who was present at the event, wrote a blog post on it, which went viral on Monday. The girls had demanded an apology from the singer and the festival organisers, besides seeking a ban on Euphoria and Sen at IIT-B and other campuses across India.

The teams enter the game with the worst combined record in the event's 39-year history. Southern is 3-7 and Grambling 1-9.
They're wrapping up a season that saw the Jaguars fire their coach after only two games, while Tigers coach Doug Williams has learned that even his status as a playing legend and successful coach in his previous stint on the job doesn't buy much patience from unhappy fans.
Southern will look to end a four-game losing streak in its meetings with Grambling, one that has seen the Tigers regain the series lead, 20-18.

Lupin seeds used to create low-fat meat protein alternatives
By Ben Coxworth
January 3, 2011
There are definitely two schools of thought as to whether or not humans should have meat in their diet, but even many non-vegetarians claim that the production and consumption of animal protein could definitely stand to at least be scaled back, both for environmental and health reasons. It has been estimated that it takes 40 square meters (48 sq. yards) of land to produce one kilogram (2.2 lbs) of meat, while 120 kilograms (265 lbs) of carrots or 80 kilograms (176 lbs) of apples could be raised within that same space. Obesity and cardiovascular disease, meanwhile, have been linked to high-fat diets – diets which often include things like sausages and hamburgers. With concerns like these in mind, researchers from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging have developed food ingredients derived from lupin seed proteins, that can reportedly stand in quite convincingly for both milk and animal fat.
Fraunhofer's Dr.-Ing. Peter Eisner created his "milk substitute" to be used as a base in foods like ice cream or cheese. It apparently is lactose- and cholesterol-free, has a neutral flavor, and is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
His colleague Daniela Sussmann utilized a special production method to produce a vegetable protein isolate with fat-like qualities, with lupin seeds as her starting point. The substance has a viscous, creamy consistency, and has already been used to give low-fat liverwurst a juicer, more appealing consistency.
"The microscopic structure of this product resembles that of the fat particles in sausage meat," she explained. "So you can use it to produce low-fat sausage products that taste just as good as the original."
Please correct text or picture... Is this about garden broad beans as depicted or about lupine seeds as decribed?Facebook User
Hmmmm I prefer to use WHOLE foods, rather than \"miracle isolates\".... and all the fat bastards eating too much - too bad for you.Mr Stiffy
I would say that the beans in the picture are broad beans, and not lupin seeds (which as far as I know are poisonous) Apart from that, it seems another interesting piece of research from the wonderful Fraunhofer Institute. [The photograph was supplied by Fraunhofer - Ed.]windykites1
Horses and other animals eating grass actually eat meat in the form of insects. This source of protein is very important to their diet as can be seen by a study in which insects in the grass were carefully removed before feeding the horses. The stamina of the horses was reduced.
I think that a vegetarian diet for people could be enhanced by the addition of small amounts of animal protein. I know that the Hawaiians eating mostly fish protein would add roasted kukui nut (from the candle nut tree) to their diet because it provided a particular amino acid that was missing from fish as compared to meat (pork) protein.Adrian Akau
Humans eating cereal also get some protien, and if we ate meat only from insects we would probably be much healthier as people and as a planet. Eating less meat or no meat should be a goal for most first world residents, according to data from sources such as the CDC and WHO, who show strong links between common farming practice and antibiotic resistance, spread of and mutation of disease, and frequent outbreakes of common incurable illness. Vegitarians are nowhere close to short on protien or fat, and vegans are not exactly dropping off from hunger and malnutrition. Both diets are endorsed by dieticians and nutritionists.
That said, veggie burgers and fake cheese are the last holdouts for \"gross vegan food\" and I wouldn\'t mind getting to enjoy a slightly better low guilt meal every now and then.Charles Bosse
Use the extra land. I\'ll take a burger over carrots any day.Larinator
\"Obesity and cardiovascular disease, meanwhile, have been linked to high-fat diets\" - no, they haven\'t.Russell Nagami
Varieties of Lupin Lupini beans / seed toxic, not so toxic & preparation sorted out in wikipedia article including \" Newly bred variants of sweet lupins are grown extensively in Germany\".

Isn't it amazing how we as a species have existed for millennia on whole foods grown from the earth, without the help of test tubes and genetic modification, which this undoubtedly is. I love the justification these laboratories (Monstanto, Bayer, etc.) have for feeding us GMO's. It's creamier, it's low-fat, it's......whatever. Yes, we should eat less meat than we do, but don't go on about how eating too much fat is killing us, when processed foods are all full of trans fats, denatured and heated fats, sugar, and chemicals we can't even get our tongue around to pronounce. The same industries that are killing us are trying to save us? Anything to make a buck and get more research funds. GMO's were supposed to feed the world, remember? That's what they sold us, and some believed them. It's not happening. Not much the food industry tells us happens. More people are dying every day because of food allergies from GMO's. This is another "food" that I think I can pass up. If fat is an issue, stop eating so much of it. Problem solved.Sieglinde Proctor
@ Sieglinde Proctor,
That is an oversimplified view of human agriculture. Humans have been slowly improving crops and domestic animals for ages. If this feeds more people healthier food and inexpensively, then I say it's good. While GMOs have downsides, the increase in food production is a definite benefit. There is no black and white.Eric Martin
If you don't want GMO food, avoid soybeans at all cost unless you know their source. Soybeans are the #1 most commonly GM'ed food product, even more so than corn. That said, I don't have a problem with GMO food, my reason for limitting soy intake is the stimulated production of estrogen. And cuz I love bacon. And sausage, so I take this as a positive development. I'd like to try some of that liverwurst. On french bread with brown mustard and emental cheese, Mm mm!Facebook User

HASTINGS, Minn. - Posting bail Thursday night, 49-year-old Thomas Tonda left the Dakota County Jail charged with one count of making terroristic threats and another count of assault after he allegedly put a youth hockey coach in a choke hold.
While he didn't want to talk about what happened, Tonda described it as a misunderstanding.
"I can't say nothing. You'll have to talk to my attorney," he said.
Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom describes it differently.
"This is extremely disturbing behavior," said Backstrom. "He basically went after the coach verbally and our complaint alleges he put [the coach] in a choke hold and as he left the arena, [Tonda] threatened to kill him."
Backstrom says it all happened during practice in early December at the Inver Grove Heights West Ice Rink. The practice was made up of 12-year-old boys from South St. Paul and Inver Grove Heights.
Investigators allege Tonda's son got into a fight with an opposing player, using his hockey stick as a baseball bat. That's when witnesses say the coach broke the fight up and scolded both players.
Tonda allegedly took offense, screamed at the coach and put him in a choke hold to the point the coach started to black out.
Witnesses who were at the rink that night identify the coach as Terry Johnson.
"Parents need to celebrate their kids' involvement and support them and support the coaches who are volunteering their time," said Backstrom.
Hockey parents who frequent the ice rink wonder how it got to this point.
"Hopefully we can learn from that and turn it into a positive situation," said Mike Busch. "Hopefully this guy gets some help."
Backstrom says Tonda was already on probation for a drug charge from 2009 and graduated in May from the Dakota County drug court program.
He'll make his next court appearance in March where he could face up to five years behind bars.
"It's a sad deal all around," Tonda said. "I don't want to talk about it."
Backstrom says this is the third time he's filed charges like this in the last 18 months. The most recent was this month when an Eagan father allegedly punched his own son after a basketball game.

But Nickerson did not ask that question. I hope he regrets his grievous neglect of due process.
At the end of the second 60 Minutes report, Ed Bradley said: "The one person missing from this story is the person most responsible for putting Schwarz in prison: government prosecutor Alan Vinegrad. Although he wouldn't talk to us, Vinegrad has said publicly he's convinced he got the right man, and that Schwarz's double conviction speaks for itself."
After the trial was over, Vinegrad called me to complain fiercely about what I'd written concerning due process in what happened to Schwarz. Listening to the venom in Vinegrad's voice, I had an idea what Torquemada must have sounded like.

A Manic Watchdog American Eskimo, an Overprotective Shiba Inu, and Belligerent Bulldogs
Season 3 | Episode 19 | Cotton, Ricky & Jordan, and Duke & Lila
Meet Cotton, an American Eskimo that has taken the watchdog role too far. Cotton attacks doors and windows whenever people pass by and causes carpool chaos when kids go to school. Then meet Ricky, a Shiba Inu that has become overprotective of playmate Jordan, a Corgi. And finally meet Duke and Lila, two belligerent bulldogs that have taken on the mantra "kill or be killed." Will Cesar be able to rid these dogs of their bad attitudes?
Two Boxers
Dogs are born with pack instinct, but there can be big trouble and destructive consequences when the pack decides to act out independentally of their human owner. That's why it's so vital that your dogs not question your leadership.
My clients John and Jeri Wehrle were able to create a strategy where they both walked together and switched dogs halfway though the walk. Since John was the stronger partner, he could take the strongest dog during the first 10-15 minutes, then pass him to his wife. Once the dog had reached a more submissive state of mind, it made it easier for Jeri to become established in the dog's mind as the same kind of authority figure.
Remember, dogs aren't born aggressive; it often stems from pent-up frustration, usually due to a lack of exercise and discipline.
Protective Puppy
When dogs first became domesticated, humans admired their protective instincts. They felt safer knowing that their dogs' barks and growls would warn them against predators. Today, we still sometimes think of our dogs as our protectors, but when that instinct goes awry, there can be trouble.
When one dog becomes overly protective of another, the one being protected becomes the "property" of the other. But as always, if you are seen as the pack leader, any new dog you bring in to the household will automatically know where their place is in the pack. If your leadership is questionable, your dog may take it on herself to assume responsibility for the weaker members of the pack.
Carpool Dog
For busy, dog-owning families, maintaining a consistent morning routine is very important. Like many of us, your mornings are often chaotic and rushed, and your dog will pick up on that energy. If the dog is denied some type of exercise after a good night's sleep, his frustration from a lack of physical activity, along with the whirlwind of the morning's circus, can really create an unbalanced state of mind.
Luckily, there's a remedy. Now what's the first rule of a balanced dog? Exercise! You need to exercise your dog first thing in the morning. And if you have kids, then yes, you may have to wake up earlier. That's the tradeoff when you decide to adopt a furry friend into your family.
But trust me, once you get out there and the blood starts flowing, you too will be ready to start your day with a clearer, calmer, more balanced mind! Plus, it will help to cut the chaos and create a different energy for everybody in the family. Don't believe me? Look to your pooch to see if you're making positive headway – his behavior will be a direct reflection of your lifestyle and energy.

Justices to take up challenge to university's consideration of race in admission decisions
The other woman has since dropped out of the case and the state has said that Fisher is a senior at Louisiana State University whose impending graduation should bring an end to the lawsuit. But the Supreme Court appeared not to buy that argument.
The Project on Fair Representation, which opposes the use of race in public policy, has helped pay Fisher's legal bills. "This case presents the Court with an opportunity to clarify the boundaries of race preferences in higher education or even reconsider whether race should be permitted at all under the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection," said Edward Blum, the group's director.
Most entering freshmen at Texas are admitted because they are among the top 10 percent in their high school class. Fisher's grades did not put her in that category.
The Texas policy applies to the remaining spots and allows for consideration of race along with other factors.
Texas had dropped affirmative action policies after a 1996 appeals court ruling. But following the high court ruling in 2003, the university resumed considering race with its 2005 entering class.
Texas said its updated policy does not use quotas, which the high court has previously rejected. Instead, it said it takes a Supreme Court-endorsed holistic approach to enrollment, with an eye toward increasing the diversity of the student body.

"Be conscious of Allah wherever you are.
Follow the bad deed with a good one to erase it,
and engage others with beautiful character."
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
As one of the most misunderstood religions in modern times, Islam has come to be associated with many negative connotations, and media-coined terms such as 'jihadists' and 'Islamists' have those unfamiliar with Islam wondering what exactly Islam is.
This website is my personal project to help myself and others understand Islam better, a religion that has been here 1400 years and suddenly seems to have been taken over by 'Muslims' that think their extremist beliefs can represent the 1 billion + Muslims around the world.
This site is an ongoing personal project, along with my YouTube Quran videos, and I appreciate all the support and feedback I have received from all of you. I hope you find this site of some benefit and seek out on your own journey to discover Islam, instead of falling prey to what the media and some terrorists believe is the meaning of Islam.

Thanks Rob. As for the avatar, it's actually brand new from just yesterday. I am a big fan of Ellen's Energy Adventure at Epcot (Epcot is my favorite Disney park- besides Disneyland of course ). You know that big billboard/sign for EEA they have outside the pavaliion? Well, using a photo of that (There is a great website dedicated entirely to the UOE, both old and new versions, which can be found at http://energy.planet7.org/ ) and the open source 3D modelling program Blender (http://www.blender.org) I was able to model part of the sign (the part that says "Ellen's Energy Adventure) in 3D. I created two versions; one flat (as in the sign) and one in "3D" which is the version I used for my avatar. Keep your eyes peeled, as I will be offering desktops of both soon. Once I get a chance to go back to florida (next summer) I will be taking extensive photos of the sinage as well as of the pavillion itself (I hope to create 3D models of both).Originally Posted by figment1986
Why, you ask?
Because I also plan to create a DVD of the attraction. Since I will be going with family over the summer, I will only be able to film one (maybe two) ridethrus (not to mention- It's a long attraction- 37 minutes total including the pre-show). However, my eventual plan is to film each screen individually, as well as several angles of the dinorama (get it- diorama, dinorama, hah, anyway...) which I will edit together into a high-quality DVD. I just ordered a CD a few weeks ago from the Extinct Attractions club which features source audio from both the old and new attractions.
Of course, for the time being, I am stuck here in Florida, and for now I must satisfy myself with photos as well as a live recording of the attraction I made last summer.
Once the project picks up some steam I'll post more about it.
Probably a longer answer then you were expecting, but nonetheless...
Next question...
I am using Paint Shop Pro 9 (I do have Photoshop CS2, but I don't use it much- I've been using PSP since PSP 6). The lines were removed using a combination of the Clone brush (or stamp, if you prefer) and the scratch remover. The scratch remover worked fine for the space parts, and a soften brush was used to compliment that. For the rest, a clone tool was used. The trick to sucessful clone-tool use in my opinion is to resample every time you paint, to prevent obvious patterns. It also helps to brush over a larger area then the area you are removing, to help it blend in. Contrast, Brightness, Color Balance and Saturation adjustments were used to help brighten and sharpen the image, and since this resulted in a bit of distortion, a small Edge Preserving Smooth was used to lessen it a little bit. (The large orange planet near the top still looks a little distorted in my opinion, but it's not too bad. I would release a larger 1280x1024 version for people with larger browsers (such as myself) but my camera was set at a lower resolution making that impossible.Originally Posted by Disneyfreak

Hillary Clinton says Russia's President Putin 'can be dangerous'
Published on Jul 6, 2014 9:53 PM
BERLIN (AFP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin "can be dangerous" and will always push other political leaders as far as he can, former United States secretary of state Hillary Clinton told a German newspaper on Sunday.
"A man like Putin always goes to the limits. He always tries to find out how strong the others are" and then repositions himself accordingly, she told Bild am Sonntag.
"His latest aggression in Ukraine must be answered with a joint reaction by the West," she said in an interview published to coincide with the Berlin launch of her book Hard Choices. "I believe he can be dangerous," she added, in response to questions about Moscow's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula and Russia's tactics in the east of the former Soviet state.
Asked at her book presentation about what it was like to deal personally with the Russian strongman, she said he was "a tough customer, with a pretty thick skin".

Survivors of Ore. bus crash prepare to go home
Chris Huxoll, sales manager at Legacy Ford in La Grande, Ore., said the dealership will probably use new sport-utility vehicles with four-wheel drive to be sure survivors can safely make the 420-mile trip to Vancouver.
"We are extremely sensitive to the fact that these kids and adults don't want to get on a bus," said Casey White-Zollman, a volunteer spokeswoman for the Red Cross.
Police said Monday they still weren't sure how fast the bus was travelling before the crash.
It could take a month or more to determine whether the driver, a 54-year-old man from Vancouver was at fault and whether he'll face charges, Oregon State Police Lt. Gregg Hastings said.
The bus was traveling westbound in the left lane of Interstate 84 when it hit a concrete barrier, veered across both westbound lanes and plunged through the guardrail and 200 feet down the embankment, Hastings said. The NTSB said the bus rolled at least once.
The interstate links Boise, Idaho, and Portland, Ore., through the Blue Mountains and the Columbia River Gorge.

There is a saying that "one person's bone is another's meat" and I was thinking about that with regard to Join My Village and the work that has been done in the past five years. While some here in Malawi value education and give their full support to those who seek it, others think that with or without education life goes on.
I see these oppositional attitudes every day. A little more than 20 kilometers from the town of Kasungu is the village of Kalimaziche where Join My Village has been working since the project's inception five years ago. Esther, who is 21 and the mother of a three year old boy, lives here.
Not only do I want to surpass all my family members with education but become a teacher in my community one day. I want also to help girls not to go through the same situation I went through.
Although Esther aspires to be a teacher, she has not had role models close to home. "I have never seen or heard of someone from this village and anyone from the surrounding community living in town just because they are educated and are working somewhere," she says. In fact, Esther is so determined to become a teacher she re-enrolled in primary school – at the age most would be finishing college.
Going to primary school at a young age can be challenging enough under normal circumstances, but for the single mother of a young child, it is especially so. I asked Esther about her son Dellison's father, who she met on a market day. Daniel, a grade eight drop out, was selling assorted second hand items which ranged from clothes, toys and shoes at the market. "I can't remember how I found myself in a secret relationship with him that ended up with us being called a husband and a wife," says Esther in a shy, regretful voice.
"Some members of the community encouraged me to marry the man while others said I am still young and have to wait. I also had to look at the history of my family and found that not one of my elder sisters and brothers has gone further than grade five in school, I ended up agreeing to marry the man." Esther's marriage was without a ceremony because they did not have consent from their parents. "We knew that my parents wouldn't allow our marriage. We decided that he come to my home at midnight and ring a bicycle bell and I would go with him. So he hid himself in a nearby church waiting for me to come out and that was the beginning," adds Esther.
As a new couple, and like most of the families in Kasungu, Esther and Daniel began farming to feed themselves and earn a living. They grew Tobacco among other things to earn some money but little did Esther know that it would be the Tobacco money that would snatch her husband away from her and the child. "After our Tobacco sales sheet was out, we agreed that he goes to the bank in town and withdraw the money. But what looked like a day activity ended up becoming more than one month activity. We tried all efforts to find out his whereabouts but none proved fruitful. He disappeared," Esther confirms.
A new chapter of life begun for Esther and her son that left them with no choice but to fight for their future. "The torture I went through in marriage coupled with the encouragement from Miss Grace Ng'ambi, the new female teacher at Kalimaziche primary school, made me think of going back to school. I realized that I rushed into marriage while still young and uneducated," says Esther. Esther thought that it is only when she is educated that she can ably support her son and be a role model for him. "I am very thankful to the female teacher who after inspiring me to get back to school, did not want to stop there but continue to mentor me. She also took the responsibility of talking to my fellow students to look at me as one of them and not a mother," narrates Esther.
According to Esther, at 21 and in grade 8, age does not matter when it comes to school but staying focused is what she believes in. She hopes, with a warm welcome by the teachers and students and the presence of Grace as her role model at Kalimaziche primary school, her dream of becoming a teacher will come true.
Time flies, it is getting sunny here at Kalimaziche village and I have to say good bye to Esther. I ask her if she has anything to say before she quickly chipped in and say; "Not only do I want to surpass all my family members with education but become a teacher in my community one day. I want also to help girls not to go through the same situation I went through."

I also happen to have SSL servers already installed (not in use currently) at the top of my network. I then have LVS load balancing in front of the web cluster. I cannot centralize the SSL services since there are too many so wonder how I might handle SSL on the web cluster? Do I need an SSL cert on each server or have others done this in other ways?
