9/8/2014This app does provide real-time readings of colors seen through the viewfinder. However, i purchased this for the Augmented Reality color blindness functionality, which does NOT work. Running a Lumia 1020 on Cyan with 8.1. sometimes the filters work for a second, but normally the viewfinder just goes black. I see this app hasn't been updated since 2011, and can't find any other AR color blindness apps. Not sure if this is due to API issues, or something else, but very disappointing to buy this app and realize it doesn't work. 2 stars for the color ID functionality working.
10/11/2013Great app!
2/14/2013Wonderful! Thank you so much!
1/31/2013Kept saying everything was grey
1/26/2013Neat app but most of the time the color shown around the circle that it matches is correct but not color that it says it is. Oh well...
8/30/2012Nice concept. Sometimes the colors are obviously off, but it tends to adjust rather quickly.
5/9/2012Make sure you turn on the live mode filter in the settings screen. I actually can pass a color blindness test with this app! Love it.
4/25/2012dude, your screenshots are horrible.. Ever used the emulator?
2/15/2012As a part time professional painter, this app is a must have. Wished I had this years ago!
2/10/2012Pretty neat, good concept. However color matches are way off. I point it at something that's obviously white and it says grey, in fact it considers a lot of things grey that defiantly aren't grey.

Here are a few upcoming projects I was thinking of . A 1950 Chevy cab with sleeper . and a mack superliner with a Chevy 3500 dooley bed.
Posted 09 June 2012 - 04:02 AM
a ford dooley bed would look better then the gm bed on the mack use gm on 50's gm
Posted 09 June 2012 - 04:56 AM
I don't have a Ford Dooley bed but I may take that in to consideration . I never thought about using the gm bed on the 50 . Thanks for the input.
Posted 09 June 2012 - 04:18 PM
I'm not set on stone with the sleeper. I may scrap that idea. I plan on making the 50 a farm flat bed hay hauler.
Posted 10 June 2012 - 04:30 AM
This is a neat idea . Maybe if the sleeper had rounder corners it would look a tad better .
Posted 10 June 2012 - 07:48 AM
That's perfect justin that will be the main bases for my truck now. Now I'm gonna have to come up with some big rig parts as the super liner was a motorized Japanese kit. Like frame and tires and suspension .Andy I agree about the cab I don't think I'm going to use it .

Centripital Spring Chair
Thomas E. Warren's "Centripetal Spring" chair is the forerunner of Don Chadwick and Bill Stumpf's Aeron chair, designed nearly 150 years later. Both are made principally of metal, raised on casters for mobility, rotate on a central column, and allow for adjustment of the angle of the seat. The very different look of the chairs suggests the ways that consumer attitudes toward industrial invention and modernity have evolved over the centuries. Although Warren's chair bears a patent mark (on the bottom of the seat), he felt the need to mitigate the newness of his invention by concealing its ingenious metal spring system beneath a dense, soft curtain of luxurious passementerie (elaborate trim). Similarly, he disguised his progressive use of cast iron for the frame by rendering it in the backward-looking Rococo Revival style and gilding it. In contrast, the makers of the Aeron chair reveal its mechanical elements, celebrate its recycled man-made materials, and use a monochromatic black to underline the seriousness of the design, all without fear of losing customers.

After joining IBM Research in 1972, he built on the work of IBM's Rolf Landauer to show that general-purpose computation can be performed by a logically and thermodynamically reversible apparatus; and in 1982 he proposed a re-interpretation of Maxwell's demon, attributing its inability to break the second law to the thermodynamic cost of destroying, rather than acquiring, information.
In collaboration with Gilles Brassard of the Université de Montréal he developed a practical system of quantum cryptography, known as BB84, which allows secure communication between parties who share no secret information initially, based on the uncertainty principle. With the help of John Smolin, he built the world's first working demonstration of quantum cryptography in 1989.
His other research interests include algorithmic information theory, in which the concepts of information and randomness are developed in terms of the input/output relation of universal computers, and the analogous use of universal computers to define the intrinsic complexity or "logical depth" of a physical state as the time required by a universal computer to simulate the evolution of the state from a random initial state.
In 1993 Bennett and Brassard, in collaboration with others, discovered "quantum teleportation", an effect in which the complete information in an unknown quantum state is decomposed into purely classical information and purely non-classical Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR paradox) correlations, sent through two separate channels, and later reassembled in a new location to produce an exact replica of the original quantum state that was destroyed in the sending process.
In 1995-7, working with Smolin, Wootters, IBM's David DiVincenzo, and other collaborators, he introduced several techniques for faithful transmission of classical and quantum information through noisy channels, part of the larger and recently very active field of quantum information and computation theory. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

St. Euphemia's Basilica
|This article does not cite any references or sources. (August 2013)
Saint Euphemia's basilica is a Baroque church located in the heart of the historic part of Rovinj, Croatia, dominating the town.
This three-nave church was built in 1736 over the remains of older, early Christian structures. Its façade dates from 1883.
The relics of Saint Euphemia are preserved in a Roman sarcophagus from the sixth century (but adapted in the 15th century). The church contains several treasures and works of art: Gothic statues from the 15th century, paintings from the 16th and the 17th centuries: Last Supper and Christ in the Gethsemane.
The bell tower resembles the tower of St Mark's Basilica in Venice. It was built during 1654–1680, to the plans by Antonio Manopola. On top of this 60 m-high tower stands the statue of St. Euphemia, serving as a wind vane.

Warner/Chappell Music, the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group Corp. (NYSE: WMG), and one of the world's largest music publishers, today announced that Steve Markland has been appointed to Vice President of A&R, Nashville. Effective immediately, Markland will report to Tracy Gershon, Senior Vice President and Head of A&R, Warner/Chappell Music Nashville.
Markland will work closely with Gershon in the signing of emerging and established songwriters, acquiring songwriter catalogs as well as in working to market and promote Warner/Chappell songs and songwriters to recording artists throughout the industry.
In making the announcement, Gershon said, "Steve is a wonderful addition to our growing Nashville team and I'm thrilled to welcome him on board. With more than 20 years of music industry experience, Steve has a solid track record in discovering and nurturing talented songwriters, and with successfully pairing songs with recording projects and artists. As a label executive, I grew to respect Steve's talent and dedication to the artists and the music with which he worked. I look forward to having him on our team as we continue to expand Warner/Chappell's Nashville footprint."
Prior to joining Warner/Chappell, Markland served 11 years as Vice President at Windswept Publishing where he was responsible for discovering and cultivating emerging songwriters, including Jeffrey Steele, who won multiple BMI and NSAI "Songwriter of the Year" awards. In addition, Markland managed a number of established songwriters, such as "Big" Al Anderson, 2000 BMI "Songwriter of the Year," Angelo, who has developed and co-produced albums recorded by Kings of Leon, Reed Nielsen, Randy Houser, and Kendall Marvel, among others.
Markland joined Windswept in 1996 as a Senior Director tasked with opening its Nashville office. Under Markland's leadership, Windswept won more than 50 BMI and ASCAP "Most Performed Songs" awards, including songs recorded by a number of Country music superstar artists including Word Records' Diamond Rio, Curb Records' artists LeAnn Rimes and Steve Holy, Rascal Flatts, Trace Adkins, Trisha Yearwood, Montgomery Gentry and Warner Bros. Records' artists Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, among others.
From 1993 to 1996, Markland was Director of Creative Affairs at Patrick Joseph Music in Nashville. In this role, Markland helped develop the careers of award-winning songwriters including Brett James, Matraca Berg, Tim Mensy, Randy Sharp, Vince Melamed and Jim Photoglo.
Prior to joining Patrick Joseph Music, Markland founded Coyote Moon Music where he was responsible for signing Brett James, who later went on to win the 2006 Grammy Award for "Best Country Song" for co-writing "Jesus, Take the Wheel" (recorded by Carrie Underwood).
From 1989-1990, Markland served as a Tape Room Operator at Warner/Chappell Music in Los Angeles and, prior to that, served as an A&R Assistant at RCA Nashville from 1987 to 1989 working under the tutelage of Mary Martin (Bob Dylan, Vince Gill) and award-winning producer Mark Wright who produced the hit song "I Hope You Dance" (recorded by LeeAnn Womack).
A native of Ohio, Markland began his career in the music industry as an intern at RCA Records while attending Belmont University in Nashville.

The Labour Court has ordered the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority to reinstate a revenue specialist it had fired for buying a vehicle in South Africa during the Zimbabwe dollar era. Andrew Dlomo bought the vehicle using foreign currency at a time when he was earning his salary in local currency. The vehicle was bought for US$2 000. This exceeded the amount allowed for people crossing the border to South Africa at the time.
Zimra fired Dlomo after a disciplinary hearing on the basis that he had failed to explain how he got the money.
In his defence, Dlomo had claimed that a relative in South Africa gave him the vehicle as a gift.
To prove his case Dlomo produced an affidavit by his cousin supporting his assertion. But the disciplinary committee ruled that the affidavit was not conclusive evidence of the source of the foreign currency.
After his dismissal Dlomo unsuccessfully appealed against the disciplinary committee decision before approaching the Labour Court.
Labour Court president Mrs Euna Makamure quashed the disciplinary committee decision. She accepted submissions by Dlomo that Zimra failed to prove a case against him and he ought to have been acquitted.
"There was no proof that Dlomo had a certain amount of the then local currency which was illegally exchanged into foreign currency," she said, ordering Zimra to reinstate Dlomo with full benefits.

Some people think shows like The Bachelor make a mockery of matrimony by suggesting someone can find a potential spouse on one season of a reality contest, but really, it's all relative. Bachelor Season 12 winner Shayne Lamas proved that this weekend by marrying website owner Nik Ritchie in Vegas Sunday, reportedly having met him the night before. We won't be sharing the name of his site, lest their whole romance is an attempt to promote it rather than the genuine, spontaneous discovery of a soulmate. If they stained the Little White Wedding Chapel where Britney Spears briefly wed pal Jason Alexander with a hollow publicity grab, we'd be so depressed.
Lamas, daughter of Renegade star Lorenzo Lamas, first gained fame after winning the hand of Bachelor Matt Grant in 2008 (the couple broke off their engagement two months after the season finale). Since then she's starred on the reality series Leave It To Lamas and acted in such fine films as The 13th Alley, a horror film about bowling co-starring Robert "Revenge Of The Nerds" Carradine. Watch her tear up the Vegas party scene in the gallery below.

They Say That Love Shows in the Gestures / Portabella Zucchini Tacos
They say that love shows in the gestures–
A dash to the airport, a big diamond ring;
They say that this is what's romance–
All that glitters,
All that sparkles,
All that's bright and glossy,
(You know, those sorts of things).
True, you proposed: it was poetry,
All of your neat lines of verse, for me, arranged.
You made me a picnic and hid it,
A cooler packed with food and a ring,
Then you asked me,
And I said yes, and remember?
Right there, how everything changed?
It's true, life is beautiful,
(We are happy,
We are together,
And free.)
But, also true, life is painful,
And we've walked through dark times just the same.
What of the times pacing the halls?
The nights of long talks?
The physical pain,
The wounded hearts,
The disappointments,
The crying out, over and over,
To God's name?
It makes me think it's love in the small and the hard things,
(Maybe the small and the hard things the most).
The dishes, the laundry,
The trash, the yard.
The kind words,
(When you want harsh words),
The soft words,
(When you want hard).
The long talks,
(When you are tired).
The stretched out arm,
(When you want to run).
Could love look like nights in the kitchen?
Like daily dinner?
Like, simply, life?
She said, "What we need is love that's not tired*,"
What she said is, I guess, what I think.
Love shows itself in daily somethings,
Somethings as simple as this.

FBI investigates letter to several newspapers
A letter sent to several newspapers nationwide, including the Caller-Times, has prompted a federal investigation.
The letter, received by the Caller-Times on Tuesday, contained four lines handwritten in red ink and was postmarked Queens, N.Y.
The letter mentions Goldman Sachs, a New York-based investment banking and securities firm, and includes the line "Hundreds will die." It was signed "A.Q.U.S.A."
The Caller-Times turned the letter over to the Corpus Christi Police Department, which notified the FBI.
"We believed it was our responsibility to immediately give the letter to law enforcement authorities, which is what we did," said Caller-Times Editor Libby Averyt.
"We have no idea whether it's a hoax or a legitimate threat. Regardless, we did the right thing in notifying police about the letter."
Corpus Christi Police Chief Bryan Smith said he did not believe there was a local threat, but the department notified the FBI because all threats are taken seriously.
"I do not feel there is any specific threat of local concern," Smith said.
Shauna Dunlap, special agent and spokeswoman for the Houston division of the FBI, which handles investigations in the Corpus Christi area, said similar letters have been received in several states.
Dunlap did not know how many letters had been received or which states were involved, but said the New York division of the FBI is leading the investigation.
Editors with the Knoxville News-Sentinel, the Idaho Statesman and the Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne, Ind., confirmed Tuesday they had received a similar letter.
"No specific threat has been identified to any specific area, or areas in the Houston division of the FBI," Dunlap said. "However, we recommend everyone continue their vigilance, especially around the holiday."

I have no problem with Ms. Maddow giving her opinion - it is her right. But I would first ask her to become informed - come to the cities that are bankrupt with failing city services - cities that have been stripped bare from corrupt politicians. Walk the streets of Detroit or Pontiac or Flint in the evening. These cities need to have a reset button hit - that is the purpose of an emergency manager. These cities are in a state of emergency. They need marshall law declared.
From where Ms. Maddow sits - from her lofty, well educated, well-meaning perch, the EM law is bad. But, like in the military, the situation on the ground is different. It IS an emergency and needs to be treated as such.

Headley's connection to the Lashkar terror spanned back to 2002 when he attended terrorist training camps in Pakistan. The indictment alleges that the initial planning for the Mumbai attacks spanned back to 2005 after discussions with Lashkar members. Headley changed his given name in 2006 from Daood Gilani to David Coleman Headley in order to conceal his Pakistani roots so he could travel more freely and not raise suspicion.
According to Headley's plea agreement following the Mumbai attacks, he was told to avoid contact with his handlers until further notice. In January 2009, Headley conducted surveillance for a possible attack against the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten, which became a target by terrorists after its publication of cartoon depicting the prophet Muhammad in 2005. Headley also conducted work for his Lashkar handlers in March 2009 casing India's National Defense College in Delhi and several Jewish centers in different Indian cities.
During his visits to Denmark in early 2009 Headley used the cover of Rana's business to visit the newspaper's offices where he expressed interest to buy an advertisement for First World Immigration Services in the newspaper. The plot against the Danish newspaper was referred to as the "Mickey Mouse Project" in coded communications between Headley and his contact in Pakistan.
Headley was arrested in Chicago as he was preparing to travel to Pakistan in October 2009 he is going to be both the key witness for the prosecution and for Rana's defense. Although he appeared in court for his initial appearance and guilty plea hearing details of Headley's terrorist planning and travels have largely been confined to secret grand jury testimony. U.S. officials last year also allowed Headley to be interviewed by Indian security and law enforcement officials.
Rana's defense is expected to focus on Headley and his integrity as a witness. They are likely to argue that the two men were only long time friends and question if Rana knew about Headley's Lashkar contacts. The defense is also expected to raise Headley's role as a U.S. government informant who reported to the DEA about heroin trafficking and note that Headley's ex-wife had reported concerns about his possible support for extremists to the FBI in 2005.
The trial is also expected to reveal more information about Ilyas Kashmiri, a rising figure in Al Qaeda who some U.S. counterterrorist analysts say over time could play an influential role in Al Qaeda's hierarchy and leadership. Kashmiri was in contact with Headley for the Mumbai planning operation. Kashmiri served in Pakistan's military and intelligence service and later became a key planner in the Harkat ul- Jihad Islami terror group, which has now merged with factions of Lashkar and the Pakistani Taliban towards Al Qaeda. Kashmiri is an almost mythic figure for some terrorists having been reportedly killed in a drone strike in 2009 only to re-emerge later unscathed in a media interview. According to the initial criminal complaint filed against Headley, when he heard about Kashmiri being killed, he "expressed dismay" and told an associate, "Our company has gone into bankruptcy then…the projects and so forth will go into suspension."
The jury of eight women and four men will be hearing extensive testimony in a trial that is expected to last 4 to 5 weeks. The judge has ordered that the jury remain anonymous given the security concerns and nature of a high profile terrorism trial.

The Rangers are interested in David Ortiz
Nov 2, 2012, 8:07 AM EDT
Yesterday I said I'd be utterly shocked if David Ortiz wasn't back with the Red Sox in 2013. I still will be, but Ken Rosenthal reports that there is at least some competition for Big Papi's services:
The Boston Red Sox are not alone in their pursuit of designated hitter David Ortiz. The Texas Rangers also have expressed serious interest in Ortiz, major-league sources say, envisioning him as a left-handed hitting replacement for their own free agent, Josh Hamilton.
I find that more interesting for what it means for the Rangers — that they are possibly looking to add a big bat — than what it means for Ortiz and the Red Sox.
And I'm sure some people would be more concerned about what it means for Michael Young's playing time. Not reasonable people, of course. Reasonable people would be quite happy about that.
- belichickrulz - Nov 2, 2012 at 8:33 AM
Vaya con Dios, Papi.
- proudlycanadian - Nov 2, 2012 at 8:37 AM
What are the odds that Rosenthal's source is the agent for Ortiz?
- heyblueyoustink - Nov 2, 2012 at 8:51 AM
I think he was consulting his bow tie.
- ltzep75 - Nov 2, 2012 at 5:02 PM
I love the imagery of Rosenthal engaging in discussion with his overbearing, rude, and brash bowtie. I don't know why his bowtie is such a jerk, but I like to think that it is.
- pisano - Nov 2, 2012 at 9:41 AM
proudly…. I think you might be on to something.
- belichickrulz - Nov 2, 2012 at 9:49 AM
I hope the Sox call his bluff, then. Their offer will be one year/$13.3 million. Let's see if the Rangers or anyone else tops that (my bet is No).
- paperlions - Nov 2, 2012 at 10:35 AM
I guess it depends on what is more important to Ortiz….he's already made a crap ton of money….will he trade a couple of million for another chance to compete? In Boston, he might make a little more, but he'll have no chance at the playoffs…in Texas, he's nearly guaranteed a playoff shot each year, especially if TX is smart enough to replace Young with an actual productive hitter.
- stex52 - Nov 2, 2012 at 1:54 PM
It's amazing how often speaking obvious truths gets you a boatload of thumbs downs. Texas saves a lot of money over several years by letting Hamilton find his best deal. Ortiz signs for two, much less risked than the other contract. They can then promote from within or find another free agent.
And even Boston will tell you Texas is much more likely to compete in 2013.
Get over your emotions, people. It's a money-making business.
- paperlions - Nov 2, 2012 at 3:49 PM
I'm used to it stex. I think it is mostly the data-driven opinion that leaves little to no wiggle room for opinions not based on fact….people hate changing their opinions, even if they are fairly sure they are wrong, they'll cling to them as long as they can.
- heyblueyoustink - Nov 2, 2012 at 8:51 AM
Blogger(Personal mission)+Name(Calcaterra)/unexplainable utter disdain for a single unspectacular ball player = Michael Young?
- paperlions - Nov 2, 2012 at 10:43 AM
Again, there has never been disdain expressed for MY, just for the enormous incongruences between fact and the insistent and persistent narrative much of the media insists on. He had some solid seasons, but he's never been the hitter people act like he is, he's never been an above average defender (and for years has been among the worst), and for all of his veterany leaderness….every time they replace him at a position with a superior player (and Kinsler, Andrus, and Beltre are all superior on both sides of the ball) he whines publicly and says he wants to be traded….which Youngites actively ignore (along with his complete lack of production or ability to catch a ball).
- Carl Hancock - Nov 2, 2012 at 10:29 AM
Next we'll be hearing that a "mystery" team has entered the bidding for Ortiz. Gotta loves agents.
- billymc75 - Nov 2, 2012 at 10:58 AM
At least Hamilton can play a position and if he wants 13 than that's what TX is offering Hamilton , I'll take Hamilton in their ages
- polegojim - Nov 2, 2012 at 11:11 AM
With the sting of the world series still fresh… I'd gladly give up Frog Fielder and make room for Ortiz.
- willclarkgameface - Nov 2, 2012 at 11:18 AM
Tell Texas to take him. Please. It's just time to let the stump on the Boston bench go.
For a guy that hates talking about his contract during the season, he sure did a lot of talking about his contract during the season.
I'm tired of his complaining and inability to actually PLAY baseball. He hits. That's all. He probably doesn't even own a glove. What kind of silliness do you really want to see when baseball "players" don't own gloves? And that goes for you Jim Thome.
Rid yourself of the DH MLB. Let's play some REAL games.
- thereisaparty - Nov 2, 2012 at 11:22 AM
What you do call the minor leagues? and college baseball? Do they only FAKE games?
- willclarkgameface - Nov 2, 2012 at 11:44 AM
Real baseball is NL-style baseball.
The manager actually has to work. Pitchers have to hit and run bases and TRY. Pitchers are accountable at the plate and WILL get brushed back if they are doing it to the opposition.
It's an abomination when you have idiots like Chien-Ming Wang that can't run the bases even close to correct and injure themselves in the process.
- thereisaparty - Nov 2, 2012 at 12:46 PM
Have I been imagining AL, MiLB, and college baseball this whole time?
No-DH is the exception to the rule now.
- stex52 - Nov 2, 2012 at 1:57 PM
I truly wish there was no DH. I hate it But that argument is over. They are not even teaching pitchers to bat in the minors or college anymore. The NL's days without it are numbered.
- randygnyc - Nov 2, 2012 at 11:59 AM
If true, this means the rangers will not make any effort to resign Hamilton. With a young, inexpensive outfielder, Ortiz can pick up a large portion of offense that Hamilton would provide. Conceivably, Ortiz and a young outfielder will be less expensive than Josh.

Let's Work
In this week's portion, Lech Lecha, we learn about a fight between the shepherds of Abraham and his nephew, Lot. There was plenty of space for everyone, but they weren't getting along so it seemed too crowded.

Karen O has recorded a solo track, 'Squeak E Clean', which is available to download from iTunes next week.
The song has been described as being very different from the standard Yeah Yeah Yeahs sound (quiet and acoustic, apparently). It's being used as the soundtrack to a shoe advert in the US.
YYYs are working on a new album right now, you know.

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Brown: 'Enough already'
Jerry Brown capitalizes on the brutal Republican primary with a first ad that pivots off what he says are 100,000 negative spots that Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner have run.
UPDATE: A classic Poizner response:
Just like Jerry Brown's failed tenure as governor, this ad looks like it was produced in the late 1970s.

Attendees from around the worldInternational Visitors Program organizers say interest in the Big Iron Farm Show is growing, especially in Africa.
By: Lisa Gibson, Agweek
International Visitors Program organizers say interest in the Big Iron Farm Show is growing, especially in Africa.
Each year, the program, a joint effort of the North Dakota Trade Office and the U.S. Commercial Service, hosts about 120 international aggies who travel to North Dakota for the event. Dean Gorder, executive director of the trade office, says countries that will be represented this year include Russia, Romania, Uruguay, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Bosnia, Uzbekistan, China, and a number of African countries including Malawi, Nigeria, Zambia, Ghana and South Africa.
"We're noticing an increase in visitors from emerging markets such as the African countries," Gorder says.
Participants in the IVP have exclusive access to the Big Iron International Pavilion for educational workshops, free internet access, meals and meeting space. The program targets participants who are serious about buying products featured at Big Iron.
Gorder says having all North Dakota's ag expertise in one region is a tremendous draw for the international visitors.
"Our state and our companies work hard to promote this area as a mecca of agriculture throughout the country and the world, and I'm happy to say we've been very successful," Gorder says. "The main draw for international visitors is, of course, the high-quality agricultural machinery. North Dakota truly produces some of the highest-quality ag products in the world and, furthermore, we have a reputation as a 'one-stop-shop' for ag products. Our state produces everything a farmer could need — from innovative machinery to inputs to commodities to education and beyond."
The success of the IVP proves that Big Iron is a world-class event, according to Gorder. He adds that global markets are vital to the success of North Dakota's ag industry.
This year, IVP is changing the program to give North Dakota companies a better opportunity to introduce themselves and their products directly to the international visitors through an "introduction program and exhibition" on Sept. 9, Gorder says.
"Our goal with this new programming is to give each company equal visibility and to exhibit the wide variety of products our North Dakota companies offer quickly and immediately so the rest of the week can be focused on demonstrations, tours and business/sales conversations."
In the past seven years, the Big Iron IVP has brought more than 700 international visitors to North Dakota.
"Each time a visitor comes to our state, the hope is that they return to their respective countries with information and products that help them increase yields, reduce costs and improve agriculture in their countries to help feed the word," he says. "And when they do, they spread the word about North Dakota and the Big Iron Farm Show, which helps us continue to increase international exports."
Gorder says the feedback from international participants is always positive and many establish business relationships with North Dakotans, and sometimes even friendships.

Aged 17, a Knight of Malta, he fought his first naval battle on a frigate of the Order of Malta.
At 25 he joined the French Royal Navy, and started an active career, fighting the 1673 campaign on the Sans-Pareil, at the taking of Agosta where he was in command of the Syrene, and later in command of the Sceptre.
He served under Abraham Duquesne during the campaigns of 1676, and became a commander in 1690 during the War of the Grand Alliance. He put his flag on the Soleil-Royal, where it would stay until the battle of La Hougue in 1692. At the Battle of Beachy Head (Victoire de Béveziers), he defeated an Anglo-Dutch fleet, sinking and capturing 15 enemy ships.
On 29 May 1692, at Barfleur, with only 45 ships, he inflicted heavy losses on a 97-ship strong English and Dutch fleet, and forced them to retreat; however, he himself suffered heavy losses after the battle when fire ships attacked the French ships of the line immobilised for repairs in Cherbourg.
On 27 June 1693, he defeated a convoy of 59 English ships commanded by George Rooke at Cape St. Vincent near Lagos Bay in Portugal, during the Battle of Cape St. Vincent.
Tourville retired after the Peace of Ryswick and died in Paris on the 23 May 1701, regarded as a national hero.

Cost of FEGLI Basic Insurance
The cost of Basic insurance is shared between you and the Government. You pay two-thirds of the cost, and the federal government pays one-third.
Your age does not affect the cost of Basic insurance.
The cost of Basic insurance may change from time to time. The Office of Personnel Management will announce premium changes prior to their effective date.
Withholdings for FEGLI Basic insurance
Effective January 2003, your share of the cost of Basic insurance is $0.15 biweekly for each $1,000 of your Basic Insurance Amount.
This amount must be withheld from your pay for each pay period during which you are in pay status for any part of the pay period. If your Basic coverage becomes effective at any time other than the beginning of the pay period, full withholdings for the entire pay period are required.
Other Than Biweekly Pay Periods: If you are paid on other than a biweekly basis, the amount withheld from your pay must be prorated and adjusted to the nearest one-tenth of one cent.
Other Than Biweekly Pay Periods: If you are paid on other than a biweekly basis, the amount withheld from your pay must be prorated and adjusted to the nearest one-tenth of one cent.
Government contribution for FEGLI Basic Insurance
The federal government's share of the cost of Basic Insurance is an amount equal to one-half of your withholding (or one-third of the total premium).
This amount must be contributed for each pay period during which you are in pay status for any part of the pay period.
The Government contribution comes from the appropriation or fund that is used for the payment of your salary. For an elected official, the contribution must come from the appropriation or fund that is available for payment of other salaries in the same office.
FEGLI Basic Insurance amount
How to calculate your Basic Insurance amount:
Example: Janet has an annual salary of $38,586. Round that up to $39,000. Then add $2,000. Her Basic Insurance Amount is $41,000.
Click here to view the Table of Basic Insurance Amounts.
If you are eligible to continue Basic life insurance coverage as an annuitant or compensationer, your Basic Insurance Amount is the amount in effect at the time your insurance as an employee stops. This is at either your separation from service or 12 months of nonpay status, whichever is earlier.
Minimum Basic Insurance Amount
The minimum Basic Insurance Amount is $10,000. Any employee whose annual pay is less than $8,000 has $10,000 in Basic insurance.
Age Multiplication Factor
Employees under age 45 covered for Basic insurance automatically have extra coverage without paying any additional premium. This extra coverage increases the amount of Basic insurance payable at the time of your death, if you die before age 45.
To determine the amount of the extra benefit, multiply your Basic Insurance Amount by the appropriate age multiplication factor as follows:
Your AgeatDeath
35 or under
45 and over
Example: Charles dies at age 40, with an annual salary of $27,126. His Basic Insurance Amount is $30,000. The age multiplication factor is 1.5. The amount of Basic life insurance payable is $45,000.

Fresh Express to deliver produce to low-income areas
PHOENIX -- People living in low-income areas of Phoenix and Tempe will soon be getting more fresh produce and vegetables.
A retrofitted Valley Metro bus is set to begin making the rounds and delivering the food to people in areas that lack big supermarkets like Fry's, Albertson's or Basha's.
The bus is called "The Fresh Express by Discovery Triangle."
"Fresh Express is a mobile bus that's going to travel to neighborhoods, schools, and senior centers, and sell fresh fruits and vegetables at a very affordable price," said Sarah Dial of the Discovery Triangle Development Corporation.
Dial says the bus should really help families in one part of town.
"Essentially, it's downtown Phoenix to downtown Tempe, and all of the area in between," Dial said. The Fresh Express program is collaboration between Valley Metro, Discovery Triangle, Chase Bank and other companies.
The bus will start its Tuesday and Thursday runs by stopping at four schools in Phoenix's Balsz School District late this month.

Update on Thursday: Second backwards planet found, a day after the first
An exoplanet that orbits its star backwards has been found for the first time. The planet is also the most bloated found to date, and some astronomers suspect that both properties can be traced back to an earlier close encounter with a planetary sibling.
The solar system generally rotates like a record album, with most objects orbiting the sun in the same direction as the sun itself spins. This is thought to result from the fact that everything formed from the same natal cloud of gas and dust.
However, some objects, including a number of comets and asteroids, move in orbits that are so tilted with respect to the orbital plane of the planets that they end up travelling in the opposite direction. Astronomers think they were gravitationally thrown out of their original orbits by passing objects.
Three extrasolar planets have previously been found on orbits that are tilted with respect to the plane they should have been born in. But now, a planet called WASP-17b has been found on an orbit that is so tilted – by about 150° – that it is moving in the opposite direction to the spin of its star.
"All the others have been going in more or less the right direction, just tilted at crazy angles," says team member Andrew Collier Cameron of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. WASP-17b, which lies 1000 light years away from Earth, is "pretty weird", he told New Scientist. "It really throws the cat among the pigeons."
Close call
The researchers, led by David Anderson of Keele University in the UK, found the planet by observing how it dimmed the light of its host star as it passed in front of, or transited, the star. They made the observations using a telescope array at the South African Astronomical Observatory.
Follow-up observations showed the direction of the star's spin – half of the star appears to move toward us, and half away from us. If the planet had orbited the star in the same direction as the star spins, it would have blocked some of the light from the approaching side first. But the researchers found that the opposite was true.
It may have been thrown onto the strange path after a near-collision with another, as-yet-undetected, planet in the same system. "A near-collision with the right trajectories can make a gravitational slingshot that flings one of the planets into a retrograde orbit," says team member Coel Hellier of Keele University.
Floating planet
WASP-17b is also a contender for the largest exoplanet ever found. It is about half the mass of Jupiter but up to twice its width, possibly de-throning the previous largest-known exoplanet. It's about as dense as polystyrene, and if you could place it in a bathtub, it would bob like a beach ball. It is only 7 million kilometres away from its star – eight times as close as Mercury is to the sun, and orbits once every 3.7 days.
Astronomers have found several similarly puffy planets in recent years, and have been at a loss to explain them. WASP-17b's backward dance may provide a clue.
Planets that are "scattered" by gravitational interactions tend to be thrown onto elongated, rather than circular, paths. And planets that are on elongated paths – particularly those that come very close to their stars, as WASP-17b does – feel strong gravitational tugs called tidal forces.
The planet feels the star's gravity at different strengths along its orbit, and this varying pull causes the planet's body to deform, generating heat that can cause the planet to puff up. "It doesn't require too much of this sort of effect to give you radii similar to Jupiter's," says Adam Burrows of Princeton University, who was not part of the new study.
Cartwheeling motion
Hellier says the scattering explanation can account for the team's observations: "WASP-17 comes along and fits very well in the theory, and provides an actual planet that is behaving as these theories predicted."
But not all team members are convinced. Collier Cameron, whose group wrote the planet-detection software, is sceptical that a planet could be gravitationally scattered into such a tilted orbit. "The theorists are going to have to work really hard to balance the books on this one," he told New Scientist.
Instead, he thinks the host star could have a smaller, unseen companion, whose gravity causes the plane of the planet's orbit to change over time. The planet's orbit would sometimes be around the star's equator, then it would gradually tilt so that it was over the poles, continuing in this cartwheeling motion, which is known as the Kozai mechanism.
Chance observation?
If that is the case, researchers observing the planet at a different time – say, millions of years from now – could see it moving in the same direction as its host star spins.

While Rancho Peñasquitos often conjures images of tract homes, cul-de-sacs and strip malls, it also has a wild side.
Really wild.
It's home to everything from rattlesnakes and weasels to mule deer and bobcats. They live among the shady oaks, grasses and marshland of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve.
Surrounded by suburbia, the 3,700-acre park is an important link in the east-west migration of San Diego County's wildlife, including the occasional mountain lion. With more than 10 miles of hiking, biking and equestrian trails and a year-round stream, it's also a quick and easy way to enjoy nature and a bit of California history.
Up until the 1960s, the land was used to graze cattle. The canyon, with its springs and creek, was part of the first Mexican land grant in California. In 1824, Rancho Santa Maria de los Peñasquitos was given to Capt. Francisco Maria Ruiz, who was the commandant of the San Diego Presidio.
"Ruiz was a drunkard and a troublemaker," said George Gray, a docent at Rancho Peñasquitos Adobe, a historic ranch house at the eastern end of the preserve.
The ranch house started with two primitive adobe huts built by Ruiz in 1823 for his vaqueros. Ruiz, who eventually acquired more than 8,000 acres with a second land grant, never lived there, Gray said. The two small adobe huts were incorporated into a larger more comfortable ranch house, which was expanded by Ruiz's descendants in 1862.
Furnished with pieces from the American ranch period between 1860 and 1900, visitors can get a glimpse of what early California life was like, Gray said. Cool, whitewashed bedrooms and quiet verandas seem a long way from the bustle of modern San Diego. Water bubbles up in a nearby springhouse. Barnyard chickens and goats add to the ambience.
"You feel like it's a discovery coming to the ranch," said Paul Kucharczyk, the supervising county park ranger. "There are not a lot of signs for it. It's very interesting for urban people to come by."
The history of the rancho is interwoven with the history of California. During the Mexican-American War, it was the first stopping place for Brig. Gen. Stephen Kearny after the defeat in the Battle of San Pasqual in 1846. In the 1880s, Col. Jacob Shell Taylor acquired the land for $15,000. Taylor, one of the founders of Del Mar, wanted to subdivide the land and sell lots for $250, but fell on hard times and had to sell the property.

...And I wanted an excuse to try making the "love token" necklace.
The shirt is a sweatshirt with the design appliqued to the front; scarf is made from fleece; hair is fun foam glued together like a hat; "Love Token" is made from resin for the center and Sculpey for the heart; and the Coldkiller X bottle was originally Centrum vitamins!
I redid part of this costume that I wasn't as happy with - the hair. I made a foam base for the hair which is shown in the original photos. But it didn't look great in person, so I actually covered the whole thing with loose extension hair. I only found one pic of the new version online so far, but if I find a few more I will definitely update the images.
