text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewA maid uniform is a style of uniform worn by female cleaning staff. The popularized concept of such a uniform typically consists of a black dress, a white apron, and a hairband or cap of some sort. They are typically associated with maids that work in upper-class or noble settings.Culturally, such maid uniforms have also been the subject of popular fetishization. In the west, a "French maid" uniform is a variation of the outfit meant to be more sexually provocative, with elements such as a shorter skirt, a lower neckline, the addition of high heels, and so on. In Japan, maid uniforms are something of a trend; some cafes have their waitress staff dress in traditional maid uniforms, and a number of anime, manga, and video games over the past decade have featured maids in prominent roles.Examples of UseShin Megami Tensei: Persona 3In Persona 3, the main character's homeroom class votes to run a maid cafe during the school culture festival. The festival is ultimately cancelled due to weather concerns. However, in Persona 3 FES, the player can acquire maid uniforms as special armor for the female party members. When equipped, they will appear dressed as maids while inside Tartarus. The same holds true in Persona 3 Portable, with the addition of the female main character also being able to wear the uniform, as well.

Dwight Howard finally gets to go where he will be happy (for the moment).
Howard gets his dream of being paid as the top dog but doesn't have to be the No. 1 option with James Harden as the man in charge. He should excel in the pick and roll and benefit from Chandler Parsons' ability to out from three point land which will make it hard for teams to double him.
Having one of the best if not the best post up player in NBA history as a coach in Kevin McHale. McHale has a knack for developing talented big men (just ask Kevin Garnett). Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon won't hurt either by helping Howard mold his game.

African Railway
On his first visit to Africa this week, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has once again underlined the importance of high-speed railways in Beijing's diplomacy. From America to Asia and Europe to Africa, Chinese leaders are offering technology, finance and project management in the construction of high-speed rail networks. In Addis Ababa on Monday, the first stop in a four-nation tour of what he called the "continent of hope", Li outlined a plan to connect all major African cities through a high-speed railway network. The project is at the heart of a new framework for Sino-African partnership that Li elaborated upon in his address to the African Union in Addis Ababa.
In talking about the "Chinese dream" for a continent-wide railway in Africa, Li was not playing with words. He was invoking China's enduring romance with railways. Sun Yat Sen, who led Beijing's first republic in the early 20th century, believed railways would modernise and unite China. Sun's rail strategy was not limited to the borders of China; he wanted to extend Chinese railroads to India, the Middle East and Africa.
Sun's communist successors too pursued this dream. Li's trip to Africa comes nearly 50 years after his predecessor, Zhou Enlai, took the continent by storm during a 10-nation tour from December 1963 to January 1964. China followed up by undertaking one of the biggest infrastructure projects beyond its borders. During 1970-75, China spent $500 million dollars and deployed nearly 50,000 Chinese engineers and technicians to build the 1,800 km Tan-Zam railway between the copper-rich regions of Zambia and Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean coast of Tanzania.
Not Neocolonial
Li is conscious of the criticism that China's approach to Africa is "neocolonial" and is focused on resource extraction. Rejecting that charge, Li showcased China's role in transforming African economies and contributing to the rapid and comprehensive development of the region. In Addis Ababa, Li outlined a six-fold agenda for future partnership between China and Africa. This includes strong support for Africa's industrialisaton and infrastructure development. Li also wants to double trade between China and Africa to $400 billion by 2020.
Countering criticism that Beijing's projects do not generate local jobs, Li promised to shift labour-intensive manufacturing from China to the region as part of a strategy to build a long-term, sustainable economic and trade partnership with Africa. In addition, Li offered $10 billion in new loans and another $2 billion to the China-Africa Development Fund. Li also promised to boost anti-poverty programmes and offered a grant of $10 million for ecological protection. He promised 18,000 scholarships for African students and support for training programmes for nearly 30,000 African professionals.

Calabar — Only 348 Nigerian athletes would participate in this year's All Nigeria Athletics Championship, which begins at the UJ Esuene Sports Stadium Calabar today, Athletic Federation of Nigeria President, Solomon Ogba has said.
He said this is because the federation has raised the bar for this year's meet, thereby scaring away many more, including the local-based and those from abroad that would have been interested in competing.
Speaking in Calabar at a press conference to declare the 6th edition of the national athletic championship open, Ogba said a large number of the athletes have come in from abroad and that the federation has so far spent over N26 million for their air tickets.
"This year's edition, we are going to have less number of athletes owing to the fact that we have necessarily raised the standard in order to meet with the IAAF requirements. For this reason, we have 348 athletes already in camp because many have not been able to meet up; but we have many from abroad of which we have already spent N26m to bring them in", Ogba said.
He promised that the athletes that would meet the standard set will be rewarded with prize money of $2,500, in addition to being selected for the upcoming Olympic Games in London.
He confirmed that the event would be timed by the 'best timing device' provided by the IAAF who, he said, strongly insisted on world standards during the Calabar meet.
Also speaking, the Cross River State commissioner for Youth and Sports, Patrick Ugbe said the state government signed a five year collaborative pact with the AFN last year to host the annual championship, adding that the partnership with the federation has been of great benefit to the state.
He said having hosted many other national sporting meets in the last few months, the state hopes to use the ongoing 6th edition of AFN championship to prepare for the 2014 national sports festival billed to hold in the state, stressing that the state government has acquired state-of-the-arts equipments to make the 2014 sports fiesta a success..
"The government of Senator Liyel Imoke has since imported state-of-the-art sporting equipment preparatory for the 2014 National Sports Festival billed to hold in the state, and we shall use this athletic championship to test-run some of these machines.
"We hosted this championship last year where we kicked off our five year cooperation with the AFN. I am certain that we were successful and shall improve during this second year", Ugbe said.

First Wednesday Luncheon of the Westfield Historical Societ
December 5, 2012 at 12:00pm — 2:00pm
| 515 Springfield Avenue | Westfield, NJ 07090
Posted November 26, 2012
Content Options
Learning the facts and events of New Jerseys' history on a daily basis will be the topic of Fred T. Rossi as he presents his historic 2013 JERZEY CALENDAR at the First Wednesday Luncheon of the Westfield Historical Society. The luncheon will be held at noon, Wednesday, December 5, at the Echo Lake Country Club, 515 Springfield Avenue, Westfield.
With the 350th anniversary of the founding of New Jersey only a little over a year away, Rossi's presentation of his 2013 JERZEY CALENDAR couldn't be more timely. Rossi, a financial advisor and freelance journalist, says he spent 16 years researching all 365 days of Jersey history and part of the past decade conceiving and designing his masterpiece wall calendar, which he says "brings together my love of history and trivia with my affection for my home state, warts and all."
In his 2012 JERSEY CALENDAR, Rossi revealed a slice of the date's state history ranging from today's milestones to celebrity and pop culture facts to the just plain strange. The events in his 2012 calendar stretched as far back as 1524 when Giovanni da Verrazano passed the Highlands on his way into what is now New York Harbor. The calendar also included Governor Chris Christie's decision not to run for president. In between were date-specific references to numerous Revolutionary War events, the discovery of Teflon, the invention of the boardwalk, numerous milestones in the early days of aviation plus a variety of feats, oddities and scandals that have helped shape the Garden State's history.
Rossi, who sells his calendars for $20, will have some on hand for those who wish to make a purchase at the end of the program.
All those wishing to attend the luncheon are asked to make a reservation by calling (908) 233-2930 by noon, Monday, December 3. The cost of the luncheon is $21 for members and $26 for non-members, including gratuity.
Please note that the next luncheon will be held on Wednesday, January 9th.

Víctor Castro
Víctor Ramón Castro (1817–1897) was a landowner in an area of Alta California which later became part of Contra Costa County, California.[1]
Víctor Castro was the son of Francisco María Castro, a former soldier at the San Francisco Presidio, one-time alcalde of the Pueblo of San José, and grantee of Rancho San Pablo.
Víctor Castro and his brother Juan José Castro were the grantees of Rancho El Sobrante in 1841. Víctor Castro was elected as a juez de campo (field judge) in 1840[1] which gave him authority over roundups and branding of cattle in the area. He was a renowned horseman and helped battle indigenous raiders who attacked other Mexican ranchos.[1] He also warred with American immigrants who squatted on his land after the California Gold Rush.[1] Castro was a local leader in times of both peace and conflict. He remained active as a community leader after the annexation of California and was elected a Contra Costa County supervisor in 1852.[1]
Point Isabel promontory and Point Isabel Regional Shoreline are named after his daughter Isabel.[2] Castro Street, Castro Creek, the Castro Rocks, Castro Point, Castro Cove and Castro Ranch Road in Richmond are named after his family.[citation needed]

Principal Variable Universal Life Income III
How It Works
Principal Variable Universal Life Income IIISM (VUL Income III) is an effective way to help you protect your family and work toward achieving your retirement goals. Unlike other life insurance products, VUL Income III is specifically designed to provide you with the death benefit[1] protection you need and serve as a tax-favorable product to enhance your retirement income.
- Survivor Benefits - Your beneficiaries receive a federal-income-tax-free death benefit.
- Tax-Deferred Growth - VUL Income III policies accumulate cash value on a tax-deferred basis. As your cash value builds, you do not incur any taxes or receive a 1099 form. Since you pay no current taxes on earnings your money grows faster than if it were taxed every year.
- Withdrawals - The Automated Income distribution feature gives you easy access to the accumulated value of your VUL Income III policy.
- Ultimate Policy Control - In addition to the tax advantages, you control your policy and the benefits it provides, such as:
- Increasing or decreasing the death benefit as your needs change[2]
- Changing the premium amount and the timing of your payments[3]
- Determining which investment options will help you work toward your financial goals. Keep in mind that investment return and principal will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
Before investing in variable life insurance, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the policy. This and other information is contained in the free prospectus, which can be obtained from your local representative or online at www.principal.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

- In exchange for the death benefit, life insurance products charge fees such as mortality and expense risk charges and surrender fees. For more detailed information, please see Principal Variable Universal Life Income III Charges and Expenses (BB 10616).
- [2]
- After policy issue, face amount increases may be subject to additional underwriting.
- [3]
- You may increase, decrease or skip premium payments provided you have enough policy value within your policy to cover the cost of insurance and other policy charges.

Oregon Historical County Records Guide
Crook County Records Inventory
Probate Registers
Series records the actions taken by the county's probate court. Information includes case numbers, estate or deceased's name, administrator's or executor's name, dates and types of papers filed, and memoranda and court orders listed by dates of appointment of administrator or executor. Series may also be referred to as probate journals, dockets, or records of actions. Over the years probate jurisdiction has been transferred from the county court to the circuit court in most counties. However, the county courts in Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Malheur, Sherman, and Wheeler Counties continue to hear probate cases. In 1986 circuit courts with probate jurisdiction began recording basic case information on the Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN). This network functionally replaced probate dockets and journals previously maintained by the courts. The transition to full use of OJIN by all circuit courts in Oregon took approximately two years. Contact the trial court administrator for access to OJIN. Portions of these records may be restricted.
Crook County joined the Oregon Judicial Information Network (OJIN) in 1986.

age: 20
births: expecting my first
well my name is aya, i am currently 20 years old, i will be 21 on august 26, and i am expecting my first child, a boy, on September 1, 2009.
all though at times i am extremely happy that i will be meeting my son soon, i can't help but to be extremely depressed about the 60 plus pounds i have gained during my pregnancy. sometimes i even hate going t outside, because people are always asking me if i am having twins, or saying that it looks like i was due yesterday, or dont go into labor now on me. it is just very irritating and depressing. i know people do not mean to be hurtful, the comments everyday about my belly are just depressing. i shouldnt be depressed about it, but i cant help it. i have always had a little weight issue, even though people tell me there was nothing wrong with me. pre pregnancy i was in between 127-130lbs, i am 5'2″ and i am african american and japanese.
the stretch marks i have gotten on my sides, stomach and right boob is disgusting looking. i probably will never be able to go to the beach again, or wear things that a normal 21 year old will get to wear. i dont mean to sound vain, but i really wanna enjoy my youth as well without feeling icky about my body. this just goes to show i probably should have appreciated the body that i had before my pregnancy. my boyfriend says that i will get back into shape in no time, but what if i dont. its honestly not the weight that i am worried about, its my HUGE belly, and i know the skin will be saggy. alot of my weight went into my stomach. sometimes i want to cry and cannot look at my pp pictures. anyways, i am really self conscious, but i wanted to share the pics with you because i was wondering if there was anyone out there who understands me, or is going thru the same exact thing.
p.s i haven't gotten any signs of labor yet either. was wondering what you moms were doing the day you went into labor, and if there was any significant signs that you just knew that that day was gonna be the day.

Catching the Summarization "Bug"
Reading to Learn
Aubrey Etheredge
Rationale: In order to learn new information, students must first possess the ability to read. But, the ability to read alone is not enough- after reading has been mastered, students must begin reading to learn. When reading to learn, it is important that students know how to summarize. Summarizing allows children to pull out the main ideas of a reading, and therefore streamline the learning process by eliminating unnecessary information. Like most concepts, summarization must be explicitly taught in order for students to apply the skill to many academic areas.
-Pencil (1 per student)
-Yellow highlighter, Orange highlighter (each student needs 1 of each)
-Notebook paper
-Individual handouts of "Why are Mosquitoes so Annoying?"
-Transparency of "Why are Mosquitoes so Annoying?"
-Individual handouts of "Malaria is still a Problem in Africa"
-Summarization Bookmarks (1 per student) (1. Write the topic sentence/main idea, 2. Find important details that support the main idea, 3. Cross out unimportant information, 4. Remove any idea that is already named, 5. Write a 3-5 sentence summary)
-Assessment rubric (1 per student)
1. Introduce the lesson.
-Say: "Today we are going to learn an important skill that pro readers use- summarizing. Raise your hand if you know what it means to summarize…Yes, to summarize means to name the main idea of the passage. Summarizing is important because it helps us to identify the most important parts of what we're reading. In order to find that important information, we need to get rid of the information that is unimportant and distracts from the point the passage is trying to make. During today's lesson, we will learn how to identify the main idea, find the most important details, and take away any unimportant information."
2. Distribute Summarization Bookmarks
-Say: "On your bookmark, you will find all the steps you need to take in order to summarize a passage. Keep this bookmark and reference it in the future when you need to summarize! Let's look at the summarization steps on our bookmarks. First, we need to find the topic. Raise your hand if you know what it means to find the "topic" in a paragraph…That's right, the topic is the main idea of the paragraph- it's a short statement of what the paragraph is all about. Next, we need to make sure that all the important information is included in our summary. So, we know what needs to be in a summary- let's look at what needs to be left out. You can get rid of any information that is listed more than once in a passage, as well as any unimportant information. Our last step is to write a summary- good news- summaries are meant to be short! You don't have to do a lot of writing when you summarize, just enough to get make sure you include the basics that the reader of the paragraph needs to know."
3. Give further explanation of the 3 important steps of summarization.
-Say: "There are three very important steps that we need to take when summarizing. You can find them on your bookmark! First, pick out all the important details of the passage you are reading. Then, cross out all the details that have already been listed earlier in the passage, and any details that are unimportant in understanding the main idea. Lastly, organize the important information that you pulled out, and find the main idea of the passage as a whole."
4. Distribute handouts of "Why are Mosquitoes so Annoying?"
-Say: "This article is about a bug that I'm sure we have all been bitten by at some point- mosquitoes! We will read this article together, but before we begin, let's look at a few vocabulary words. The first word I want to take a look at is "sensor." Does anyone know what a sensor is? I see that the root word of "sensor" is "sense." Also, I see in the second paragraph that mosquitoes have many "people sensors." Based on what I know and see, I can infer that the word "sensor" means a device that is used to sense, or be aware, of something. The next word we need to go over is "proboscis." Read the third sentence in the fourth paragraph. That sentence tells us that the proboscis is the part of the mosquito that the bug sticks into your skin, like a needle. Point to the part of the mosquito that you think is the proboscis in that picture." Now that we are prepared to read all the words in this passage, let's begin reading together."
5. Read the article aloud
6. Model summarization
-Say: "Let me show you how I would summarize this text. I'm going to use my bookmark if I need help. My first step is to determine which details are most important. I'm going to underline those. Then, I will need to determine which details are unimportant. I'm going to cross those out. To decide if a detail is important or unimportant, I need to figure out what subject seems to be mentioned more than once- that's my topic. What do you think the topic of this passage is? I also need to figure out what the author wants me to know about the topic. To do this, I look at action words first- are some of the action words alike? Can I categorize these words somehow? Let's look at the second paragraph more closely."
Mosquitoes are like little robots. These robots are great at finding
warm-blooded people. A mosquito's head is loaded with a system of "people
sensors." It starts with chemical sensors. With their antenna, mosquitoes
can sense carbon dioxide and lactic acid up to 100 feet away. They can also
detect chemicals in sweat. Since people and animals give off lots of carbon
dioxide and these other chemicals, it makes it easy for mosquitoes to find
-Say: "First, I'm going to use my yellow highlighter to mark the things that are alike. I know from my title that this article is about mosquitoes. I see the word "sensors" a lot- I know that this paragraph is probably about how and what mosquitoes sense things in their surroundings. Now, I need to know what the author is trying to tell me about mosquito sensors. To do this, I look for verbs and action words. I'll mark those with my orange highlighter. After doing that, I see that mosquitoes are very good at finding, detecting, and sensing when humans are around- that's how they get to bite us! Now that I've figured out what the author is telling me, I'll go back and cross out unimportant details. Remember, unimportant items are things like descriptions, examples, information that is repeated in the reading, and anything extra that doesn't really pertain to what the author wants me to know. I can cross out the first sentence, and the first part of the second sentence, because it's an example. I can also cross out the part about the antenna, because it has already told me that they use the sensors on their heads. I can also cross out most of the last sentence, because I can infer that information on my own. See, summarizing is easy! Now you try the next three paragraphs on your own."
(Give students time to highlight and cross out)
-Say: "Now that we have determined which details are important, and gotten rid of the unimportant details, we need to write a topic sentence. Let's see…we know that most of the article talks about how mosquitoes find things to bite…so our topic sentence should be about that! A possible topic sentence could be, "Mosquitoes use different parts of their body to find humans or animals to bite."
(Continue writing the rest of the summary with students, writing the important information that has been underlined on the transparency.)
-Say: "Let's look back at our bookmark to double check that we did everything correctly. We wrote the topic sentence…we used only important details…we wrote 3-5 sentences…perfect! Summarizing is simple, and it helps us learn a lot about what we're reading in a short amount of time!"
7. Distribute handouts of "Malaria is Still a Problem in Africa"
-Say: "Now that we have summarized together, I want you to practice on your own. This article is about malaria. Does anyone know what malaria is? You're going to have to read and find out more about it! Remember to underline important information and cross out unimportant information as you read. Reference your bookmark if you need help!"
I will walk around while the students are writing summaries in order to make sure that they have gained an understanding of the concept. Students will be formally assessed by the summary that they write independently.
Did the student…
Cross out unimportant/repeated information?
Underline important information?
Organize important items?
Select a topic?
Write a brief and informative summary of the passage?

Perl Script Extracts Software Licenses
A tiny script from U.S. network specialist Scott Iekel-Johnson extracts software licenses from source code. The oss-license-extract tool is now available in version 1.2.
The program in its current version searches through files with "license" and "copying" in their names, C source code and header files, and shell, Python, perl, Tcl and PHP scripts.

VIDEO: Helen Hunt Discusses Oscar Nom On CBS THIS MORNING
Academy Award-winning actress Helen Hunt said her compelling life as a mother combined with her off-screen work has kept her away from movies and television for a while, but she's looking to get back into it, in an interview that was broadcast live today, Feb. 14, 2013, on CBS THIS MORNING on the CBS Television Network (7:00 AM - 9:00 AM). Check out the appearance below!
"And so I'm dying to act, but I'm not dying to act in just anything," she told Norah O'Donnell, Gayle King and JAmes Brown.
Excerpts from the interview are below.
KING: The New York Times called your movie a pleasant shock. And I think that is a really great description. Because your first sexual experience is awkward, can be awkward under the best circumstances. So here you are, full nudity with someone who's physically challenged-were you nervous about this part?
HUNT: Stupidly, I was not. I mean, I read it and thought it was just so beautiful, and that's so rare that I said yes before I had a chance to really think about the implications. And then by the time it was time to shoot, I was so deeply in love with the spirit of the movie and the intentions of both of those people that I kind of skipped the part where I went "eek."

Rwanda leapt up seven places in the latest Fifa rankings despite this month's international friendly 1-all draw against the Uganda Cranes.
Amavubi are now ranked 130th in the world and 39th on the continent while Uganda still tops the Cecafa region in 84th position followed by Sudan (104th), Ethiopia (114th) and Burundi (115th).
Nigeria also leapt 22 places following their win at the African Nations Cup, but the continent remained without a team in the top ten. The Super Eagles, who edged Burkina Faso 1-0 in Sunday's final in South Africa to win the competition for the first time in 19 years, rose to 30th place in the table, their best position in three years.
Their opponents, who exceeded expectations by reaching the final, stayed outside the top 50 but have jumped 37 places to 55th.
Ivory Coast, beaten by Nigeria in the quarter-finals, remained Africa's highest-ranked side in 12th, followed by Ghana seven places below.
Surprise package Cape Verde, who reached the quarter-finals on their debut, moved up 13 places to 63rd.
Five-times World Cup winners Brazil remained in 18th spot, their lowest-ever ranking, after losing 2-1 to England in Luiz Felipe Scolari's first game back as coach last week.
The win took England up two places to fourth.
There was no change in the top three where world and European champions Spain lead, followed by Germany and Argentina.

RiotMinds to release acclaimed classic Role-Playing-Game for the international market
Stockholm 2014-02-18 Swedish games publisher RiotMinds today announced the upcoming release of Trudvang in English. The game is based on the best selling Swedish pen-and-paper RPG: "Drakar och Demoner Trudvang", and will be branded "Trudvang Chronicles" for the international audience.
Acclaimed "Drakar och Demoner Trudvang" has served thousands upon thousands of players in the Nordic countries for more than a decade. "For years we've been asked to translate the game into English, and now, finally, we will be able to offer this for all our international fans", says Magnus Malmberg at RiotMinds.
Trudvang Chronicles is based on the Swedish role-playing-game "Drakar och Demoner Trudvang", deriving from the classic game from the early 80´s. The English version will be released on RiotMinds new online service in Q3 2014, including the vast and unique world of Trudvang.
Riotminds Online is a new digital service for the game including the complete rules, world setting and a suite of digital tools to create and store characters, roll dices, make game calculations as well as a remote center to start gaming sessions online, all wrapped in stunning graphics. "This sets a new standard for role-playing games. Not only the game itself but the way it will be presented in our online service. This is taking the old style role-playing to the next level", Magnus Malmberg concludes.
More information about Trudvang Chronicles and release date will follow this summer.

It is a great setting. Although I am not to fond of the new rules and prefer the more old school rules I have run several adventures in campaign world with both the original rules and BRP/RuneQuest.
Posted 13 June 2014 - 09:29 AM
Yes, I have also enjoyed this setting (in Swedish) for several years! Very well written, a lot of material, great art and a good feeling of Nordic sagas and brutality (probably more true to Scandinavian folklore than many viking supplements I have seen through the years). Not brp by the book, but quite close. Very well recommended if you are looking for classic fantasy with it's own twist.

Privacy and Cookies
By Graham Warwick in Washington DCUS Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) is trying to determine why the General Atomics Aeronautical Systems MQ-9 Predator B unmanned air vehicle that crashed near the Mexican border on 24 April did not come down where it was programmed to if communications were lost and could not be re-established.
© General Atomics
The ground station at Ft Huachuca, Arizona lost contact with the UAV at 02:50, when the vehicle was about 8.5h into a 10-12h mission patrolling the US-Mexican border at between 12,000ft (3,600m) and 15,000ft. The wreckage was found about 16km (10 miles) north of Nogales, Arizona at about 06:20.
When the communications link was lost, the Predator was supposed to fly autonomously via emergency waypoints to a safe loiter area closer to base. If, after 30min, it was unable to re-establish communications, the vehicle was then programmed to set down in a pre-determined area.
Instead, the wreckage was found close to where the link was lost, suggesting the UAV crashed soon after losing communications. There was no indication of problems with the vehicle before the link was lost, says the CBP. The lost-link recovery function is implemented in the Predator's triple-redundant flight-control computer.
The UAV entered service with the CBP in September, and had logged 900 flight hours, operating in civil airspace but protected by a temporary flight restriction in effect along the border from 17:00 to 07:00.

ability to get good speakers - according to the outgoing chairman.PHUN400 is officially closing due to lack of membership attendance and theI wonder if the lack of good speakers could be addressed by going the online meeting route? The company I work for has a decent amount of "virtual office" going on and we bridge the gap by using gotomeeting.com on a daily basis. Wouldn't be too hard to do something like that for LUGs and you could get speakers at a fraction of the cost (i.e. no travel/lodging/food), and get them more frequently. It would work similar to the RPG & Beyond Web Conference I was a part of: http://www.pentontech.com/onlineconf/isn/rpgandbeyond06/ The only thing I didn't like about the RPG & Beyond experience is that it isn't as interactive as it could be (i.e. people can only listen in and provide feedback via text messages). That could easily be solved by simply doing a regular conf call though. What would rock is if somebody at iSociety would take this as a challenge and address it by creating a calendar of places and locations where "virtual speakers" will be "showing up" at LUGs. Actually, the right person/company could run with this and make some nice jing by providing low cost training at LUGs ;-) Thoughts? Aaron Bartell http://mowyourlawn.com

Sure, you both think you're fine with the arrangement. But guess what? One person is always more interested, always holding out hope. Hanging out with her can fuel that hope and make her look for indications that you'll give in. Patience will evaporate. "You need to keep upping the ante if you stay in each other's presence. You say you won't, but you will," says Pat Love, Ed. D., author of The Truth About Love. The end result: one person becomes annoying, the other annoyed. It's a classic love story.

In Flash Professional CS5 Essential Training, author Todd Perkins explains the fundamentals of Flash Professional CS5, the industry standard for creating animations and interactive applications for the web, desktop, and mobile devices. This course starts with the basics, such as using the drawing tools to create simple animations, and progresses to automating animation with tweens and adding interactivity with ActionScript. This course also covers how to add sound and video to projects, enhance realism with effects like easing, and publish a project to a variety of platforms. Exercise files are included.
The easiest way to get video into Flash is to use the FLVPlayback component. In this chapter, we'll look at how to import video into Flash and how to play it using that component. A component is a movie clip with pre-built ActionScript code. You can access components through the Components panel, which you can find at Window > Components. The great thing about the FLVPlayback component is that it has pre-built controls for your video. So I have a Play and Rewind button, and a seek bar, time codes, volume, mute, closed captioning, and even a Full Screen button.

Apple does offer upgrade pricing in the App Store. It's full retail pricing they've obliterated.
When Apple released Logic Pro X as a new $200 app a couple of weeks ago, I immediately thought it finally answered the question as to where Apple stood on the issue of upgrade pricing. It was the first paid/pro Apple app on the App Store to update a full version, and instead of adding a mechanism to the App Store to allow existing users to upgrade at a discount, Apple - like Tweetie 2 back in 2009 - simply released the new version as a separate app and asked anyone and everyone, new and existing customers alike, to (re)pay in full. Only... it wasn't really "in full", was it?
Logic Pro X on the App Store, like Logic Pro 9 on the App Store before it, was substantially cheaper than the full retail version of Logic Pro that used to come in a box. $199 as opposed to $499. Likewise, when Final Cut Pro X first hit the App Store, it's $299 price tag was far, far cheaper than the $1199+ full retail price tag of the Final Cut Pro version that preceded it.
Indeed, the price Apple asks for both Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro is far closer to their previous upgrade pricing tier than anything they ever asked at retail. In other words, if you bought Logic Pro 9 on the App Store at full price and later bought Logic Pro X on the App Store at full price, you essentially paid the same as you once-upon-a-time would have paid to upgrade.
So, it's not that Apple has failed to create a mechanism for upgrade pricing on the App Store at all - it's that they've succeeded in obliterating full retail pricing. Everything is now upgrade-level pricing, all the time, for everyone. No upgrade sales, just "everyday low pricing". It's the mainstreaming of software pricing.
(Not dissimilar, perhaps intentionally, to how Final Cut Pro X and Logic Pro X have evolved in terms of experience and focus as well, alienating power users but empowering mainstream users.)
That might take first-time buyer profit out of developers pockets, and irk existing customers who just hate the idea of new customers getting the same "deal" as they do, but it also simplifies the process on the store side and lowers the barrier to entry for new customers. What remains to be seen if that's ultimately a net positive or negative, and for whom.
There are a ton of arguments many have already made about the continued devaluation of software on the App Store in general, and the consequences thereof, so I won't recapitulate them here, but it very well could be that part of the devaluation, of the mainstreaming, isn't that upgrade pricing has not (yet) been implemented for existing customers, but that it's become the new normal pricing for all customers.
That might be annoying for those of us, developer and customer alike, who grew up in a time before iOS, when upgrade pricing was commonplace. I'm not sure it'll even be a consideration for those growing up now on iOS. It'll just be the way things are.

Apple does offer upgrade pricing in the App Store. It's full retail pricing they've obliterated.
The justification back then was that it was a "pro" level product. Today it is fully worth amount it costs. Search the web for some of the complaints about Final Cut Pro 7 vs X to see what I mean. I don't use either Final Cut or Logic Pro, but I do use Aperture. I hope they did a better job with Logic Pro than Final cut, and I hope the Aperture X that eventually comes out will be a significant improvement without losing current features.
Logic used to be $1000.
This is not an apples-to-apples comparison, so to speak. The price _has_ gone down, but it's far less than you make it out to be here.
First, Final Cut Pro is $299 on the store, and not $199. As far as I know that's always been the price.
Second, both products—when boxed—were sold as studio bundles. Logic Studio, and Final Cut Studio. They both came with a collection of software and the pricing made quite a bit more sense when you factored in what came in the box.
In the case of Final Cut Pro Studio, we also got Motion, Color, DVD Studio Pro, Compressor, and SoundTrack Pro in the box. There were also a few other auxiliary apps that rounded out the bundle. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Cut_Studio)
Also, Logic Pro Studio had a similar bundle and it also included SoundTrack Pro, MainStage, Waveburner, Compressor, and also some auxiliary apps. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_Studio)
I don't believe in the argument that Apple has lowered its pricing for pro apps drastically—especially not to the point of calling it upgrade pricing. Instead, what Apple has done is "de-bundle" their Pro products to hit a lower price point.
Thanks, typo fixed. I think it's both debundling and commoditizing. The latter serves the former. Motion and Compressor are now separate apps and Color built in, but the total cost is still far, far reduced.
One could argue that Apple's marketing and box/retail costs have gone down considerably, and could hence justify a cut to the sticker price. The trouble I see now is that Final Cut's pricing is being interpreted far too often as a huge cut from ~$1200 down to $300, and the interpretation comes from many parties (journalists, users, ISVs, etc.)
Sure, we could probably say that the Final Cut price has dropped to half of what it used to be, but it's certainly not a quarter!
The frustrating bit for me comes from ISVs that are tempted to "follow Apple's lead" and price themselves out of existence based on misinformation. I feel that we're bleeding great apps and great app developers because of this.
Liscio, FCS1 used to have a price tag of 1299US$ (see http://www.videomaker.com/article/11258-apple-final-cut-studio-bundle-ed...).
If you check the prices of the application pre bundle, you'll see that:
- Final Cut Pro HD was 999US$ (https://www.apple.com/pr/library/2004/04/18Apple-Unveils-Final-Cut-Pro-H...).
- Cinema Tools was 999US$ (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2002/04/05Apple-Announces-Cinema-Tools-f...)
- DVDSP 2 was 499US$ (http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2003/04/06Apple-Announces-DVD-Studio-Pro...)
When Apple bundled the software, it already started to lowering the price incredibly, and he has kept doing it with Final Cut Pro X…
One thing that is missing with this "upgrade pricing" strategy is a way to let existing users know there is a new version. That may not be a problem for high-profile apps like Twitterific, but I guess other apps that are not featured on sites like this will need to implement that themselves.
I agree with this article. The hard part is convincing people of that, which I hope this article helps in doing. And to those who ask "why should a new customer pay the same as I, a longtime loyal customer?" Simple - you got the benefit of using the product for years and years. A new customer didn't. That is worth something.

The most competitive sport in the Olympics, I would argue, is storytelling. Everything from the opening ceremony to the national uniforms athletes wear is carefully planned to create a specific story about the unique identity of countries (I'm not sure what story Norway's curling team uniforms are telling, but I know it would for sure involve a sweet soundtrack).
This show explores the spectacle of Olympic narratives. First, figure skating enthusiasts Andi Zeisler and Sarah Marshall talk about media coverage of female figure skaters, specifically revisiting the Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan scandal. Then, I dig in to how Olympic host cities make themselves over to create a shinier version of themselves for the international spotlight.

Re: How to Optimize Fat Efficiency in the Diet Part II - Essential Fats
Interestingly enough, Venom's link to "pharmaceutical grade Fish Oil" proves that not all fish oils are created equal. The brand that I've been taking only has 1.25 grams of omega-3 as well as 1.5 g of saturated fat per teaspoon whereas the product Venom mentions has 2.7 g of omega-3 and no saturated fat per teaspoon. So using your product simply blows my analysis out of the water.
If your goal is to increase EPA and DHA intake, clearly taking this brand of fish oil beats Flax for efficiency and there doesn't seem to be a need to take Flax. But, I've been taking about 3-4 tablespoons of flax per day (hopefully inducing thermogenesis). 4 tablespoons of fish oil in it's place would up the EPA/DHA intake at least 1000% - and that assumes my body has been optimally converting the ALA in the flax oil. The next question, then, is: is there a such thing as ingesting too much EPA/DHA?

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. As a veteran executive at Sony, Sega, and Google's Adscape Media, Bernie Stolar has been a familiar face over the past three decades in the game business. And now he's surfacing again as the executive chairman of Zoom, a new entertainment company that has just revealed its plans to make its mark in mobile and digital PC games. Above: Bernie StolarImage Credit: Dean Takahashi Zoom unveiled a couple of new mobile and PC game projects yesterday. Through its Phoenix, Ariz.-based subsidiary, the Jordan Freeman Group, Zoom will introduce a new point-and-click adventure game called Mr. Travel. It has also secure the rights to take the kooky 1990s-era MegaRace franchise into smartphones and tablets as well as consoles and PCs. The Mr. Travel game is headed by 21-year-old Jordan Freeman, who is the chief creative officer and founder of both the Jordan Freeman Group and Zoom. Mr. Travel was originally made in France by developer LayerCake as educational business software. French developer 3DDUO is taking the teaching tool and turning it into a casual PC gaming title with the help of Freeman. The game debuts April 22 on the PC as an "edutainment" title, or a game that teaches you how to travel abroad safely. "Jordan Freeman and his team are building franchises that will be played on all platforms; these games will prove to be the most fun and entertaining of any new franchises," Stolar said in a statement. The Zoom digital distribution platform powers Mr. Travel. Meanwhile, Jordan Freeman Games will also remake the MegaRace trilogy of combat-racing games for the new era. Jordan Freeman Games plans to partner with Anuman Interactive on the project and raise money for it via crowdfunding on the IndieGoGo website. Freeman said that he dreamed up the Zoom platform back in 2008. But at the time, he was focused on a competitive gaming project dubbed Head 2 Head Gaming. He began working on it more urgently in 2010 and completed the work in 2011. Stolar joined as executive chairman, and they started creating plans for an expansion. Bernie Gilhuly, previously a senior vice president at One World Networks, joined as chief financial officer. And the executive game developer is Tom Kudrika of 2015 Games. "We've got a number of very big projects coming down the pipe in terms of both content and technology for Zoom," Freeman said. "We will be revealing those shortly."

The Liberia Telecommunication Authority or LTA says it will embark on the process of revoking licenses of various radio stations in the country that are operating illegally.
Commissioner Anthony McCarty said since four months now, some service providers failed to contact the LTA, noting that the Liberia telecommunication Authority was moving ahead to revoke the licenses of institutions and entities not in conformity with its regulations.
Speaking to group of reporters at the Ministry of Information, Cultural Affairs and Tourism during its regular press briefing on Capitol Hill in Monrovia, Mr. McCarty said: " the nation frequency is a scarce and limited resources; and because it is both scarce and limited, because we at the LTA have to be good stewards of assigning frequencies to those who are willing to stay current in their payments to the government of Liberia, the effectiveness is measured by those who adhere to our regulations those on our waiting-list willing to pay for frequencies," he said.
He noted that his institution would notify every service provider with an assigned spectrum frequency, through written correspondence in November and subsequently, warned that the LTA will take drastic action against delinquent operators, including the revoking of licenses.
Commissioner McCarty noted that Licenses and Regulation Department or the (LRD) is the LTA's arm responsible for the issuance of licenses, regulations, due diligence and economic regulatory analysis that market the research of monitoring every activities of the entity.

posting here so I find this thread again mostly and do not re-ask dumb questions
I did have Poser7 for last 3 years so not all dumb
in fact I am dumber when it comes to studio in many ways
Carrara has been my exclusive software of choice with some iClone dabbling most my 3D life.
two quick dumbass queries though
1) shadows without raytracing at fairly low settings were easy enough in P7 but in my one day old PP2012 had to go higher to get any at all and cannot hide the ground like I can in P7
2) scene tree, I have always used the animation window to find stuff in the scene, I have never found a scene tree in Poser, is there one?
On the first question, I'm sure others will have different experiences But I use HDR or IDL light source spots set at deep shadow map or you can use individual spot light set at Deep shadow maps for faster rendering time .. But ray-trace is always going to give you your best results. Also pp2012 uses Python much better for scripting effects lighting, I included a picutre of my manual preset i made to make my renders look more softer , I try to keep the bucket setting around 32 for the best shadows, You can start here and play around until you find the settings you like best,
I dunno if this will help you with your next question about the Obj elements manager
What I did because I hate having to click each obj to get to the elements.
I found this tool called eXtended Object Manager that I got at rendo ,But you can get it at smith-micro also, for me it works better than the poser default elements manager. especially if you want to use poser for animation.
Here is the link for it Wendy I hope that helps you.

From Jim Stalker
One day, while driving east on Douglas Avenue, past the veteran's hospital, to the bottom of the hill in Des Moines, I noticed Polk County's new office building. The building, a former Target Store vacated for several years, had become the resting place for all county departments; the auditor, treasurer, probably the driver's license renewal, and all other departments similar to our own.
Instead of trying to cram into one smaller space every year, each larger-demanding county office, including the DHS, why not purchase the old Walmart building and move all county offices except law-related offices into that space? The selling price should be reasonable, since the present owner has had to pay the taxes on this nonproducing building for years.
If the county is so worried about raising income, as it seems in their search, to satisfy DHS requirements, that problem would be solved and the newly-vacated court house could be further renovated to house more prisoners, continue the court and add other related law offices, thus generating more income for the county. Right off, the need for an elevator would go away, thus saving $350,000 right now.

Chuck Woolery calls most terrorists Muslim on Twitter, starts flamewar
| April 19, 2013 | Updated: April 25, 2013 12:32am
Woolery in 1999
Television personality Chuck Woolery was live-blogging the events in Boston via his Twitter account and not without controversy.
The former host of TV game shows "Love Connection" and "Scrabble" had an image of the Constitution as his Twitter background and had been speculating on the suspects' religion and motives saying:
"I am having a hard time understanding why it is so distasteful to say that most if not all terrorists are Muslim."
"The muslim islamists believe they are at war with us. We don't even admit who we are at war with. Who is it?"
His comments inspired hundreds of responses from Twitter users calling him out for such inflammatory speech.
Salon.com is calling it a "Twitter meltdown".
Woolery, for his part, has found several new followers, many of whom seemed to not know he was still around.
"Chuck Woolery is still alive?" asked one respondent.
