Thank you again!!
Adoption is the best option! No one knows this better than (almost) 6 year old Rhyan. Rhyan has been attending animal rescue events since before she was born. Literally. There has never been a question that she has inherited her family's heart for rescue.
Rhyan has been an important part of North Mecklenburg Animal Rescue's (NMAR) mission since her arrival home from the hospital. She has shared her home, her room, her toys and her time with foster dogs for as long as she can remember. Oftentimes, the first child encountered by an NMAR dog is Rhyan. Most of Rhyan's weekends are filled with trips to the vet, adoption events and fundraisers. Just another day in the life of a rescue kid.
On "Career Day" in kindergarten, when all of the students dressed up as the doctors and lawyers and mechanics and military personnel that they hoped to one day be, Rhyan came dressed as an Animal Rescuer. Rescue is her heart and soul.
Working with animals is often fun and rewarding, but Rhyan can tell you, it's difficult too. Sometimes animals are hurting, afraid or seriously ill. She has seen some upsetting things. Through the good and bad, Rhyan's deep love of pets continues to grow and shine .
Now as her 6th birthday approaches, her devotion and amazing compassion for animals has become even more evident. Rhyan as asked that, instead of presents, her friends and family make donations to North Mecklenburg Animal Rescue. Yep! An almost 6 year old is giving up her gifts so that more dogs can be saved.
In honor of Rhyan's selflessness, would you consider donating to NMAR as a part of a special little girl's birthday celebration? And if you can make it, we'd love for you, your family, friends and pets to come wish Rhyan a happy birthday at her party. We will be celebrating June 28th from 10-12 at Midwood Park and would love for you to stop by. We may let her get away with asking for no presents, but there is no way we're letting this compassionate little girl miss out on a wonderful birthday party! Let's show this wonderful little girl the magic of community and help her raise more than she ever dreamed possible!
Please view the invite and RSVP here :
Can't come to the party? You can still help Rhyan reach her goal by going to www.northmeckanimalrescue.org to make a donation. Please leave a note that it is for Rhyan's birthday. Please also help Rhyan spread her wish by sharing!
If you would like to send Rhyan a birthday card or a donation, they can be sent to:
c/o North Meck Animal Rescue
P.O. Box 241
Harrisburg, NC 28075
Use this link for all of your Amazon shopping. Amazon will donate a percentage of your total purchase price to NMAR, costing you nothing! Remember to check out our Amazon Wishlist for supplies that will help us help the dogs. Thank you!

A few months is absolutely nothing is the getting-pregnant world. It takes many people up to a year to get pregnant!
Make sure you're leading a healthy lifestyle first and foremost. Many times the female's body is not healthy enough to carry a child to full term or the male's body is producing plenty of UNhealthy sperm that cannot survive the travel to fertilize the egg.
You and your partner need to be taking vitamins every single day. You should be on a prenatal for at least 6 months before you conceive and your partner needs to be on multivitamins specifically for men to help keep his prostate working properly. I am taking a liking to Maxi Health Maxi One Prenatal:

My husband is really, really fond of Prescriptive Formula Optimal Men's Vitamin Pack by Nature's Bounty:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Stop smoking, drinking, and using recreational drugs. All of these listed have been proven to cause inferlity short and long term. The sooner you stop, the better chances you will have now and later.
Change your eating habits. Stop eating so much junk food and candies and start eating more vegetables. The better nutrition you receieve, the better your body will absorb it. Dump out the junk (and, no, don't try artifical sweeteners because they've shown to produce infertility as well)--the sodas, candies, cakes, etc. You don't have to do anything so strict that you cannot have a little snack here and there but you need to be aware of what you're putting into your body every day.
Stop consuming things with artificial sweeteners in them. In the long run, it's better to drink a can of coke than it is diet coke. The artificial sweeteners in many products cause so many health problems it's ridiculous.
Exercise regularly. You don't have to go out to the gym or lift weights but you and your husband both need to give your muscles a work out at least 3 times a week. Go for a short walk together or do a workout video together that you both are able to do. It's vital that you both work on this.
Make sure to de-stress often, at least once a week. Make time to just relax. Watch your favorite movie together or just have a night out bowling. Whatever it is that you need to do to relax--do it! Stop worrying about getting pregnant or others getting pregnant--it only adds to the problem! Know that when it's time then you two will have a baby. Relax about the situation and try to get your mind away from the focus of it.
Track your cycles. From the day you begin your period you need to keep track on a calendar of what is going on. Mark your first day down as "Start" and 'x' the following days that you are bleeding. After 6 months of this you should get a decent idea of when you might be ovulating. Ovulation, typically, occurs about halfway through your regular menstrual cycle or on day 14 for most women. During ovulation you will have more chances of concieving because of the conditions within your body.
If you cannot track your cycles because they are SO irregular (more than 32 days long, typically) then I hope you have a little cash saved up! Start buying some things at your local Wal-Mart or other store:
OTC Daily Ovulation Predictors
OTC Fertility Tests
OTC Pregnancy Tests
Begin with the fertilty tests so that you know you are able to get pregnant. Use these for at least 6 months so you get a strong idea of the results. Use the daily ovulation tests every day for at least 6 months so that you can grasp a better idea of when/if you are ovulating.
Throw away:
Your artificial lubrication.
Artificial sex lube hinders the sperm's ability to be mobile and may make them unhealthy. Try to drink more fluids (WATER!) so that your vagina can maintain good lubrication when needed.
Have sex every 3 days at the most. Having sex more often than that can cause sperm counts to go low, dehydrate the body, and dwindle away nutrients.
Ask your partner to NOT wear tight pants. Tight clothing causes circulation problems in the testes and may make things too warm for sperm to develop properly. Let him around around the house in his boxers (or nude)! If you have to go shopping for looser pants and underwear then do it! It's healthier for him in the long run!
Pick up a iodine supplment for you and your husband to take regularly. New research is finding that many Americans are depleted of idoine and are experiencing common problems because of it--diabetes, low metabolism, headaches, fatigue, and temporary infertility! Head down to your local vitamin shop and look around for some kelp for iodine supplementation (along with your prenatals and your partner multi)! Look for, preferably, Norwegian sea kelp or Bladderwrack. Consume 1,500 to 2,000 Milligrams of this supplement each day. My favorite one, so far, has been Nature's Herbs Norwegian Kelp:

Relax. It really hasn't been that long of a time. Many couples find that when they stop worrying about becoming pregnant and start leading healthy lives together, happy to just be together, they become pregnant. Getting pregnant sounds easy but it's a very complicated thing. Your uterine conditions have to be a certain way to produce offspring. Toxins built up in your body can prevent you from becoming pregnant. Having a stressful job may cause you to miscarriage before you even know you're pregnant! It's possible that you've been pregnant a dozen times already and have never made it past a couple of weeks!
So, most importantly than anything, don't panic. It'll come when your body can handle it. If you've been trying for a year or more then see your doctor just for a routine check-up, making sure things are OK.
It'll all happen in time. I wish you the best of luck. Please feel free to inbox me more directly if you have any further questions, as I have a LOAD of useful information when trying to get pregnant!
P.S. Don't listen to people who say that it's been too long to have not gotten pregnant. Some people get pregnant very easily, very luckily while most of us take a little time, especially if we haven't treated ourselves very well all of our lives. There are tons of couples who get pregnant after two years even!

Don't wear condoms and don't use birth control. lol. Go to your gynecolgist... STDs might hinder fertility. Or you might be barren. Trust me, a gynecologist can help you and your boyfriend have a child. and if your having like ten minute sex... that might be the reason. OH! and have sex on your period... that is when you are most fertile.

answered Friday November 12 2004, 7:40 am:
The simple answer? Figure out when you are ovulating, and then have sex during that time of your cycle. Having sex every other day is not doing you any favours - it is lowering the sperm count.
If you guys hold off a bit and only have sex during your most fertile period, that means there are more sperm to reach your egg.
Think about how stressful it is just trying to get pregnant, and then multiply that by a million - sleepness nights, financial responsibility, raising a child without two committed adults (ie marriage) - just things to consider.
If you want more specific guidance about ovulation, ask me a question or do a simple search on Google. Also, check out fertilyfriend.com.
Good luck.

Hey. Well, there are a couple of things you can consider. First of all, have you been on birth control recently? Because if you just got off of it, my doctor said it could take up to a year for your body to get used to not being protected .. but that depends on what kind of birth control you were on, if any at all. Another thing is, that a lot of women, and a lot of men, can't produce children. And it's not like that makes you less of a person or anything, but some bodies are not capiable to handle the stress or pregnancey, or don't have strong enough sperm to reach the egg ... Also, it could be a mental thing. You may be doubting the whole kid buisness, or you living situation. Maybe, mentally, you want to be married before you have children? Or maybe your body is under too much stress. It could be a number of things. Go to a doctor and she/he can give you some tips on how to increase your chances of pregnancy, and you and your boyfriend can get tested to see if your bodies are capable of making a child. Good Luck.

Hi Victoria,
It maybe the every other day that's messing things up. Sometimes, it has to be everyday for it to work and even then, it's not guarenteed. I've noticed people who want to get pregant can't and those who don't want to, do. Crazy. I've read that one way to possiably help things is to have him be on top and after sex, arch your hips for about 15 minutes, it apparently makes it easier for sperm to find eggs. Also, there is a program FEMTA that you can use to help predict your ovulation & best days to have sex to get pregant. The link for that is...

There's this thing you can purchase on drug-stores... a lot of women use it to know which time of the month its best for them to get pregnant (I'm sorry I don't know the name of it... I just saw it in some commericals...) It should be about 14 days before your period (If you know when it is).
If you haven't been able to get pregnant though... maybe you should see a doctor... naybe you or him may be sterile (...hopefully that's not the case).

This is your thread to talk about … well, whatever you want.
– (Non-Steeler related) The Pittsburgh Power won their first game on Saturday night by dominating Kurt Warner's former team, the Iowa Barnstormers, by a 58-28 margin in front of 9,190 at Consol Energy Center. Former Cal U (PA) quarterback Kevin McCabe came off the bench in relief of injured quarterback Bernard Morris and completed 10-of-14 passes for 110 yards and three touchdowns. I used to do stringer work for the Herald-Standard out of Uniontown and would routinely cover Cal U football games, including the year McCabe was there. He dominated the D-II level and it appears he can handle himself at the Arena Level as well. Good for him. [Pittsburgh Power]
– We received our invoice for our 2011 Steelers tickets this week. Not too pleased that they're still expecting their money right now even though there's no guarantee there will be football — or a full season — this year due to, as Jason Whitlock put it, spoiled rich kids fighting with their parents. From what I understand the Giants are the only team not asking for their money until this nonsense gets settled. Good for the Giants. Bad for everybody else.
– You can read up on Ted's latest Mock Draft right here if you haven't already done so. [Us]
– A couple pre-draft visits have been lined up, including California defensive lineman Cameron Jordan (looks to project as a defensive end in the 3-4), Eastern Washington running back Taiwan Jones and Citadel cornerback Cortez Allen. According to Dale Lolley, Jordan and Allen could be mid-late first-rounders. [NFL From The Sidelines]
– If the Mike Pouncey bandwagon didn't already have all of the momentum of a runaway freight train, it surely does now. He apparently dominated Florida's Pro Day. He probably won't be available at pick No. 31. [NFL.com]

Plaintiffs in several defamation lawsuits are seeking court orders to identify anonymous Internet users, raising First Amendment concerns regarding the protections afforded to anonymous communicators on the Internet.
In February 2009, Maryland's highest state court quashed a subpoena requesting disclosure of the identities of five anonymous participants in a discussion forum and outlined a five-part test for the state's trial courts to use in evaluating whether to order disclosure in such cases. But in Texas, a state trial court ordered a news Web site to reveal the identities of 178 anonymous commenters in an online news forum. Another subpoena in Virginia requested identifying information for commenters on a blogger's site and, more notably, included a request for the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for all viewers of the blog post, a development that may have significant implications for online speech.
Maryland High Court Rejects Subpoena to Identify Anonymous Commenters, Adopts Five-Part Test
Maryland's highest state court ruled on Feb. 27, 2009 that a newspaper publishing company does not have to reveal identifying information for anonymous commenters who posted allegedly defamatory comments regarding Centreville, Md. businessman Zebulon J. Brodie on an online community forum. The court said it decided to hear the case in order to provide guidance to the state's trial courts in future defamation cases in which plaintiffs seek identifying information about anonymous Internet forum participants from a Web site host.
The Court of Appeals of Maryland heard the case, Brodie v. Independent Newspapers, Inc., No. 17-C-DG-0116509, 2009 WL 484956 (Md. Feb. 27, 2009), on appeal from the trial court, bypassing the mid-level appellate court.
The court adopted a five-factor test developed by the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division in Dendrite International v. Doe, 775 A.2d 756 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. 2001) for evaluating defamation claims concerning anonymous commenters on Internet forums. In evaluating whether disclosure is appropriate using the test, the court should require the plaintiff to notify the anonymous posters that they are the subject of a subpoena; allow the anonymous poster a reasonable opportunity to file opposition to the subpoena; require the plaintiff to identify the exact statements allegedly made by each anonymous poster that are actionable; determine whether the complaint has set forth a prima facie defamation case; and, provided the other four elements are met, balance the anonymous poster's First Amendment right of free speech against the strength of the prima facie case presented by the plaintiff and the necessity for disclosure of the anonymous defendant's identity.
Judge Lynne A. Battaglia wrote that the test addressed the complexities of the disclosure decision effectively. "On the one hand, posters have a First Amendment right to retain their anonymity and not to be subject to frivolous suits for defamation brought solely to unmask their identity. On the other, viable causes of actions for defamation should not be barred in the Internet context," Battaglia's opinion stated.
Brodie filed his defamation lawsuit on May 26, 2006 against Independent Newspapers, Inc. (INI), which hosts the online news forum Newszap.com, and three anonymous defendants. Newszap.com's "Centreville Eyesores" discussion thread featured allegedly defamatory comments made by the three anonymous defendants in March 2006 regarding Brodie's decision to sell his home to a developer. The three anonymous defendants were identified by the screen names "CorsicaRiver," "Born & Raised Here," and "chatdusoleil" on the discussion thread. Brodie also alleged that other comments on the Newszap.com forum regarding the Dunkin' Donuts store he owns were defamatory, including the statement that the store is one "of the most dirty and unsanitary-looking food-service places I have seen."
On March 12, 2007, the trial court dismissed the charges of defamation based on statements regarding Brodie's home because they were about the developer that bought the home from Brodie and not about Brodie himself, but it ordered INI to comply with the subpoena requesting identifying information for the commenters who made statements regarding the Dunkin' Donuts store. However, Brodie's counsel revealed that the comments about the Dunkin' Donuts store were authored by two commenters who were not included in Brodie's original subpoena, "RockyRacoonMD" and "Suze." Brodie then served another subpoena on INI requesting identifying information for all five commenters. The trial court ordered INI to comply with the subpoena on Feb. 19, 2008, and INI appealed the decision.
Judge Battaglia's opinion stated that Brodie had not pleaded a viable claim for defamation. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's dismissal of the charges with respect to comments regarding Brodie's former home. With respect to the Dunkin' Donuts comments made by "RockyRacoonMD" and "Suze," the court said the statute of limitations barred claims against them in February 2008, when the trial court ordered INI to reveal information regarding their identities. Therefore, the court determined INI's motion to quash the subpoena should have been granted.
The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press (RCFP) filed an amicus brief in the case on July 28, 2008, asking the appellate court to apply the Dendrite standard to evaluate requests for disclosure of anonymous message board commenters' identities. The RCFP emphasized the importance of protecting anonymous speakers on the Internet. "In light of the extensive First Amendment interests in preserving a robust marketplace of ideas on the Internet, the Court should establish a strict standard to protect the anonymity of online speakers," the brief stated.
Texas Judge Orders Topix.com to Identify Anonymous Commenters
A Texas judge ordered news Web site Topix.com on Feb. 5, 2009 to comply with a subpoena to identify 178 anonymous commenters in an online forum who allegedly defamed a Texas attorney and his wife, both of whom were charged in April 2008 with aggravated sexual assault of a former client.
Judge Dana Womack of the 348th District Court in Tarrant County, Texas, approved the order for the subpoena in the defamation lawsuit, Lesher v. Does 1-178, No. 348235791-09 (Tex. D.C. 2008), filed against Topix.com, a news Web site that hosts online message boards. The Tarrant County Court issued a letter rogatory, a request to the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara to obtain discovery from Topix.com, which has an office in Palo Alto, Calif. Once information provided in response to the subpoena is collected by the Santa Clara court, the letter rogatory requests it be forwarded to the Leshers' attorney. On Feb. 26, 2009, Topix.com filed a motion to quash the subpoena in the court in Santa Clara. A hearing will be held on March 27, 2009.
A former client of attorney Mark Lesher filed charges against Lesher and his wife Rhonda in April 2008, alleging they sexually assaulted her on July 26, 2007 when she was spending a week at the Leshers' ranch after seeking Mark Lesher's help in divorce proceedings, the Clarksville (Texas) Times reported in a Jan. 19, 2009 story. The Leshers were found not guilty of the charges on Jan. 16, 2009 after a jury trial in Collin County, Texas, according to the Clarksville Times.
After the lawsuit was filed against the Leshers in April 2008, according to the their complaint, the Leshers said that over 1,700 anonymous defamatory comments authored by 178 commenters regarding the allegations were posted on news forums on Topix.com. "They were perverted, sick, vile, inhumane accusations," Mark Lesher said, according to a Feb. 7, 2009 Dallas Morning News story.
The Leshers filed a lawsuit against Topix.com and the anonymous defendants, alleging the statements were defamatory and requesting unspecified damages for reputational, emotional, and psychological harm. The Leshers' 365-page complaint lists each of the 178 commenters' online pseudonyms, a portion of their comments, and the initial charge of defamation.
In a letter dated February 4 posted on Topix.com, attorney William Pieratt Demond, who represents the Leshers, listed the screen names of the 178 defendants and said that the Leshers had filed a defamation lawsuit against them. The letter also stated that the anonymous posters could come forward and negotiate a settlement with the Leshers. The letter is available online at http://www.topix.com/forum/city/idabel-ok/TAFNU5RQSNM7CSOCU. Texas Lawyer reported in its February 24 story that Demond said he hopes to obtain the IP addresses for the anonymous commenters from Topix.com, along with any other available identifying information concerning the posts.
Texas Lawyer reported that Topix.com CEO Chris Tolles said the Web site can only provide IP addresses, which he said would "potentially provide a step in identifying the individuals involved. It's not a final step. It's not a definitive way of getting someone's information. But, that said, it's the only way that there's a definitive way of reaching that person through us."
Tolles addressed the subpoena in a February 7 Dallas Morning News story. "We do not just give up people's privacy. We're very, very careful about that," Tolles said. However, he added "If there is a line that's been crossed from a libel standpoint – and it seems reasonable – we do, in fact, cooperate with the courts."
Virginia Blogger Subpoenaed For Information Regarding Online Viewers, Commenters
The plaintiff in a defamation lawsuit against a Charlottesville, Va. weekly newspaper has served a broad subpoena on a blogger who wrote about the defamation suit, requesting identifying information for anonymous commenters, and more unusually, the IP addresses associated with every viewer of the blog post, in order to gain evidence for the original lawsuit against the newspaper.
In his lawsuit Garrett v. Better Publications, No. CL08000197-00 (Va. Cir. Ct. 2008), filed Dec. 19, 2008 against the publisher of the newspaper, The Hook, in the Circuit Court for the County of Buckingham, Thomas Garrett alleged the newspaper defamed him in its coverage of state criminal proceedings in which Garrett was prosecuted for charges of forgery.
Blogger Waldo Jaquith posted a story Dec. 23, 2008 on the blog cvillenews about The Hook's stories. Calling Garrett "a train wreck in slow motion," Jaquith wrote that it was "impossible to ignore the really sketchy aspects" about Garrett, a chicken farmer, radio show host, and Hollywood publicist. Jaquith is not a party to Garrett's lawsuit against The Hook.
On Jan. 15, 2009, Garrett sent Jaquith a subpoena requesting identifying information for all of the viewers of Jaquith's post regarding the defamation lawsuit and 81 anonymous individuals who commented on it. The information requested by the subpoena included the names of persons posting comments, their IP addresses, the IP addresses of viewers of the story online, any e-mail communications sent or received by Jaquith relating to his December 23 blog post, and any notes and documents relating to information obtained or created in writing the December 23 post.
In a Jan. 30, 2009 post on the Citizen Media Law Project Web site, Sam Bayard, a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, wrote, with respect to the request in the subpoena for information identifying viewers of the blog post, "Disclosure of this information could be a potentially huge breach of reader privacy, and nothing seems to justify it. Remember, the lawsuit in question involves another newspaper and website altogether, so the number and (rough) location of cvillenews.com readers has no bearing on the reputational damage caused by the original, allegedly defamatory posts on the newspaper's website."The post is available online at http://www.citmedialaw.org/blog/2009/virginia-blogger-targeted-outrageous-subpoena.
Jaquith drafted and submitted a motion to quash the subpoena on Jan. 31, 2009. He cited the constitutional journalist's privilege based upon the First Amendment in asserting that the information Garrett sought to compel from him by means of the subpoena was a privileged communication and therefore not subject to disclosure. Jaquith also argued that Garrett's subpoena failed to comply with the requirements of Virginia Code 8.01-407.1, which governs efforts to identify anonymous Internet speakers in civil proceedings.
Virginia Code 8.01-407.1 states that subpoenas seeking identifying information for anonymous online speakers must include an assertion that specific statements by the anonymous communicator are tortious or illegal, that other reasonable efforts have been made to identify the communicator and have been fruitless, and that the identity of the communicator is needed to advance a claim or is materially relevant to the claim. Jaquith's motion to quash argued Garrett's subpoena did not describe verbatim the allegedly illegal communications on the blog cvillenews.
On Feb. 13, 2009, Garrett submitted a motion to compel asking Jaquith to comply with the subpoena, stating that he believes that many of the comments on Jaquith's blog post were made by employees of Better Publications, the publisher of The Hook, rather than disinterested third parties. Therefore, he said the anonymous comments could help substantiate Garrett's claims Better Publications acted with malice in his defamation lawsuit.

Striker Gabriel Agbonlahor scored his first goals since January as Aston Villa twice came from behind to knock Manchester City out of the Capital One Cup with a 4-2 victory.
The England international hit two against the Barclays Premier League champions, semi-finalists in this competition in two of the last three seasons.
Mario Balotelli and then Aleksandar Kolarov had twice put the hosts ahead while Villa old boy Gareth Barry's helped his former team's cause with an own-goal equaliser and Agbonlahor took the tie to extra-time.

I'm in need to work with some older files, creations I originally made years back on an earlier computer. My problem is I cannot open them anymore, I'm stuck with these errors for all the content, save for V4:
Unable to find file for storable: data/blMilMan_m4b_68498/hip/blMilMan_m4b_68498_hip/geometry.dso
Now is there any way around that, like foremost trying to understand where that 'data' is searched for
I know this has been discussed earlier in the forum, my main problem is that on my earlier computer, everything was loaded beneath c:\program files\DAZ\data
And now I don't have anything DAZ on C anymore, simply because there are not room enough. All my DAZ is today located at a separate drive: F: and data is mainly on F:\LINDA\DAZ other\studio\My Library\data
and F:\LINDA\DAZ other\data
Is there any way to re-point the information to my 'new' data directories so I can open my old work? That would save me hours of work, instead of having to re-do everything again, using a finished Jpeg as template.

Eliz was mother and friend to all those who needed her. She always had a kind word or piece of advice to offer for anyone in need. She was also always prepared for any eventuality, and if she didn't have an item for you right away, she would be sure to have it the next time she saw you. Always willing to lend a helping hand, Eliz was a leader and an organizer for events for her children and family.

Back in December I made a Facebook account so that I could send a message to an old friend that I wanted to get back into contact with. For giggles I filled in the interests, favorite authors, movies, athletes, people that influence you, etc sections, just to get an idea of how everything worked. Didn't enter any real information, not even my real name, turned all the security features to the most secure settings, etc. When I was done playing around and after I had gotten a response from my old friend with updated normal contact information I selected to deactivate the facebook account. For months afterwards I got spam from Facebook about how I should come back, blah blah blah. I wanted to see how the reactivation process worked and I was REALLY surprised when I just logged in and everything was how I left it, no actual reactivation process or anything and everything was still there. So I guess when someone deactivates a real facebook account they need to go through and manually delete everything they've ever put on Facebook. What a pita.

Ken Burns is a matchmaker with a camera. He has introduced Americans to themselves, to their history, with documentaries such as "The Civil War." He also used the "pan and scan" camera technique to make still images of the long-dead seem alive on the television screen.
Burns has given us -- given us back -- the Brooklyn Bridge, jazz, baseball, Lewis and Clark and World War II, and elegantly illustrated biographies of Mark Twain and Thomas Jefferson. His laurels include Oscar nominations, several Emmys and the introductory video to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's call-to-action speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
PBS series, "The National Parks: America's Best Idea," which begins Sept. 27, precipitated a buried boyhood memory. He hadn't remembered, until he actually picked up a camera to begin shooting in Yosemite National Park, that when he was about 6 years old his father bundled him out of bed early one morning and drove him to the Shenandoah National Park for his first weekend in one of the nation's public preserves.
Why does he train his camera on the subjects he does? And oh, yes, that hair ... .
There's a quote from William Faulkner: "The past isn't dead; it isn't even past." You must believe that too.
Absolutely. History is not "was" but "is." You think of the past as fixed, changing only as new information arises, but it's actually malleable as our own perspectives and inclinations and emotions change.
As we've seen with Lincoln -- how he becomes a different Lincoln for every generation.
A different Lincoln! In some generations and some quarters, he's tardy on emancipation, he's a failure to the radical Republicans, he's gay, he's depressed, he's all these different things. Lincoln hasn't changed. It's just that we are now interpreting [him] a different way. Which means that history is as much about now, and also about the hope for where we evolve, as it is anything else.
Your work speaks of a great affection for this country.How do you define patriotism?
Nobody has said the word "affection" to me. [Some think] I've painted [a] Pollyanna-ish picture of America. I haven't. I have great love and affection for my country, which I think is one of the essential attributes of patriotism. The other is that you look at the past with an unvarnished eye. You don't give that Madison Avenue, sanitized version. I try to tell stories that haven't been told. So in [my] Brooklyn Bridge film, affectionate though it may be, it also reveals the corruption of New York City politics and the wire fraud perpetrated at the time of the bridge, the nervous breakdown suffered by its designer, the promotion of a Victorian housewife to essentially chief engineer -- that's all part of it too.
What's the significance of the national parks to the country?
When the Depression took place, the first stimulus dollars in American history were spent, and the first beneficiaries, the shovel-ready things, were the national parks. It's paradoxical that parks got more money in the Depression than they had [before], and attendance grew, because there was a sense that the national parks were democracy applied to the landscape.
We [all] own the most spectacular beachfront property, the most beautiful mountain ranges and waterfalls and geothermal features, the grandest canyon on Earth. We need to visit our property now and then, make sure it's OK and it's got proper maintenance, and include it in our will for posterity.
How did you come to tell stories visually?
My very first memory, at 2 1/2 , 3 years old, was of [my father] building this darkroom in the corner of our basement in Newark, Del., and then watching this amazing alchemy as a picture comes into existence. So I think the heart of my work has been rooted in this huge respect for the ability of a single image to convey complex information. And, at the same time, because life is so complicated, we negotiate that complication by superimposing structure, story, metaphor.
What you've called "manipulated truth."
All truth is manipulated, because the universe is chaotic. What we divine from it is the superimposition of some kind of order, whether it's religion, superstition, story and art, literature, science -- all of them are an attempt to keep the wolf from the door. And that wolf is the panic of chaos.
Somebody said that good writing is about editing, about being able to kill your darlings. So what was the hardest darling you had to kill?
One of those cliches is the cutting room floor: What's on the floor is good stuff. [For "Mark Twain"] we had done this beautiful scene of Hannibal, Mo., waking up as the steamboat came, and this flurry of activity, and then going back to sleep as the steamboat takes off. It was wonderful, but every time I took it out, [the film] flew. Dayton [Duncan, Burns' collaborator] would come with bags under his eyes, sleepless, and he would say, "Do you think we could put it back in?" And we'd put it back in and the same thing would happen. It was a little darling, a perfect scene, that we had to kill in order to serve scenes, some of which were nowhere near as good but contributed to a larger whole. It's hard.

SSC Ultimate Aero and Venom GT unleashed
We head to Nevada in the 1287bhp Ultimate Aero and 1200bhp Venom GT for the ride of our lives...
Posted: 25 Oct 2012
I'm thinking as fast as I can, but it's just not fast enough. Out here, 1,800m up in the arid Nevada desert on a dead-straight road, everything's happening very quickly and I'm struggling to understand what's going on. I've just slotted the Hennessey Venom GT into fifth gear at around 180mph, pushed the throttle to the floor and the small, Alcantara-clad steering wheel is now wildly thrashing from side to side in my sweating fists.
I keep my foot down, hoping the car will straighten itself out, but a split-second later the monstrous 6.2-litre twin-turboed motor unleashes another huge, whistling wrecking ball of power.

A wide variety of movies made on Kodak film are heating up the late summer box-office – from a unique view of U.S. history through the eyes of a White House servant, to the adventures of a teenager who is a half-angel warrior forced to protect the world from demons. The fun of summer doesn't have to end just yet, and the following films should help keep the good vibrations going.
Blue Jasmine:Woody Allen's latest film follows New York socialite Jasmine (played by Cate Blanchett) who heads to San Francisco to live with her sister after everything in her life falls to pieces. Allen and Javier Aguirresarobe, AEC, ASC knew celluloid was the right choice for the story. "The special texture of color provided by Kodak emulsions is important to me, especially for skin tones and faithful reproduction of the true colors of the scene we are shooting," explains Aguirresarobe. "Blue Jasmine went to the DI process with such a base of color and thickness that we could gain access to the definitive tones very quickly. The negative provides an enormous flexibility at the color correction stage, and it provides a wonderful image texture." (In theaters now) Read more in this InCamera article: Aguirresarobe Reteams with Allen for Blue Jasmine
Percy Jackson is back on the big screen. Shelly Johnson, ASC captured this latest adventure on Kodak film. Don't miss Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters in theaters this weekend.
In RED 2, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses (played by Bruce Willis) reunites his unlikely team of elite operatives for a global quest to track down a missing, next-generation lethal device that can change the balance of world power. Enrique Chediak, ASC chose Kodak film to capture all the action and hijinks of this motley crew.
Red 2 storms into theaters July 19. Check out some stills and the high-octane action-comedy trailer!
The Lone Ranger debuted on the radio in 1933. Soon afterwards, Republic Pictures brought the character to the big screen in serial form. Some 63 after his television debut, the Masked Man still lives in reruns.
Now, Bojan Bazelli, ASC and Gore Verbinski have brought The Lone Ranger back to theaters. The feature film promises to echo the mix of top-flight, large scale action and fun, irreverent dialog that Verbinski perfected in the Pirates of the Caribbean films. In the new film, The Lone Ranger, played by Armie Hammer, often plays the straight man, while Johnny Depp's Tonto delivers the memorable quips.
THE HEAT fires up the box office this weekend, with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy starring in this buddy cop comedy, directed by Paul Feig and shot by Robert Yeoman, ASC on Kodak 35mm 3-perf film. We can only imagine that the shenanigans and antics that play out on screen also pervaded on set. Here are a few behind-the-scenes photos from the production and a clip to tease your funny bone:

2010 TopGear Awards: Hypercar of the Year
TG infiltrates Chinese air base with weapons-grade Koenigsegg Agera
Posted: 20 Apr 2011
But, as I start to acclimatise to the magnitude of the experience, it becomes apparent the Agera is more than a simple warhead. The steering, oddly light at low speeds, is quick and intuitive at pace, imbuing the Agera with surprising nimbleness for a two-metre wide hypercar. The chassis set-up couldn't ever be described as forgiving, but the near-race-spec suspension soaks up the hideous cracks in the runway concrete with astonishing ease. No, the Agera can't match the Zonda - or, indeed, the Veyron - for the sheer ease and usability of its power. It doesn't try to: the Koenigsegg experience is far more visceral than that. But it is also much more sophisticated than its fission-spec powertrain initially suggests.

The quality of resident research done in our residency program is outstanding, winning both national and district awards. We expect each resident to complete an academic project prior to completion of residency. We provide residents with a well-structured research curriculum that starts in the PGY1 year. We schedule a full month in the second year to allow residents a dedicated rotation to thoughtfully invest time in a well-structured research project, with the help of a faculty mentor. It is our expectation that research projects will be publication-caliber, and we provide many resources to help residents achieve this goal, including access to an epidemiologist as well as to the Maine Medical Center Research Institute's committee to support resident projects.
Some recent research projects:

Hi I just installed connectify on my laptop with windows 7. I currently get internet from my neighbors open router. connectify says that i can use this wireless connection and make a hotspot out of my laptop. but when i try to use connectify it says no ap mode supported. connectify says this means.......
This means that your wireless card does not support running in Access Point mode. For more details and a list of known supported devices, please consult the Supported Devices page.
Sometimes this can be resolved by simply updating your wireless drivers. You may find updated drivers via Windows Update. Many times Windows Update does not have the latest drivers and you may need to check with your laptop or wireless device manufacturer to find them.
Is there any way around this? is there anythign i can do so i can use my laptop as a hot spot with out meing pluged into an ethernet cable or somethign like that?
Thank you

Arizona Diamondbacks
Reserve outfielder Tony Campana supplies spark during D-backs' sluggish start
PHOENIX -- High socks. High motor. High IQ.
In a day and age where the game of baseball has slowly but surely welcomed increasing forms of new-age analytics and technology, an old-fashioned mentality still has it's place.
Look no further than the Arizona Diamondbacks' Tony Campana.
The team's fifth outfielder, at least with Cody Ross back in the fold, Campana has turned a crowded situation into a luxury for the D-backs.
Campana might not boast Ross' World Series experience, Mark Trumbo's light tower power, Gerardo Parra's cannon of an arm or A.J. Pollock's superb range, but he's earned a role with the big-league club for one main reason.
He's the ultimate spark plug.
On a team that has stumbled out to a 5-14 start, Campana has found his way onto the field simply by executing the little things when called upon.
"I just try to make the most of what I get," Campana said. "I know my role. I'm a guy who is going to get some spot starts and some chances to make a difference with a spot appearance here and there off the bench. I have my routine that keeps me ready, and so far it's done a good job."
The former 13th-round pick is being modest.
In Arizona's last two wins, both extra-inning affairs, the 5-foot-8 speed demon in spikes has had a hand in the final result.
Back on April 10, the former Cincinnati standout did his damage with the bat, recording a career-high four hits, including the game-winning knock in a 6-5 victory against the San Francisco Giants.
"The big thing for me is swinging at strikes," said Campana, who is currently batting .350. "And so far, I haven't tried to take any hacks at pitches out of the zone. People have come at me with balls in the zone, and I've been able to do a good job of sneaking balls through the infield."
Friday night at Dodger Stadium, the Kettering, Ohio native was at it again, this time using his elite speed as a weapon.
Pinch running for catcher Miguel Montero in the top of the ninth, Campana stole second with ease, then advanced to third on a grounder to second.
Three pitches later, the 27-year-old found himself plating the go-ahead run after Los Angeles reliever Chris Withrow uncorked an intentional ball over the head of Tim Federowicz.
For a reserve who spent the first eight-plus innings on the pine, Campana found a way to change the complexion of the contest in a matter of minutes -- one the D-backs went on to take 4-2 in 12 innings.
"You just try to make the most of what you get," said Campana I know my role. I'm a guy who is going to get some spot starts and some chances to make a difference with a spot appearance here and there off the bench. I have my routine that keeps me ready, and so far it's worked out."
Campana speaks in cautious tones, because the industry has been harsh at times during the early portion of his career.
After getting selected by the Chicago Cubs in 2008, he's been greeted with revolving door after revolving door.
At-bats have never been guaranteed, and neither has job security.
He's been traded, demoted, promoted, and designated for assignment.
Yet through it all, he's found a way to embrace his professional circumstances.
"It's hard, a tough role," said Campana, who was traded to the D-backs in Feb. 2013. "Right now, though, this is who I am. Hopefully, one day I become a guy who you can pencil in to the lineup year after year. But right now, I'm a guy who has to fight for his place every night. I've embraced it, because it's the only way I'm going to be here.
"I've always been the small guy that can run. Coming up through the minors is kind of where I started that. I was going to be the guy who gets things going for the team, who gets into scoring position whenever I can and let the big guys in the lineup drive me in."
Even with his early-season spark, there's no way of knowing how long his ride with the D-backs will last.
So for now, the determined engine that could is savoring every minute of his time in Arizona.
"I'm the kind of guy that's usually one of the last guys on the roster to make the team," said Campana, who has never played in more than 95 games in a season. "I know that going in. But that just pushes me to battle during spring to get one of those last spots. I was able to do that this year, so to do that and then be able to do my part to win some games here and there has been gratifying. Hopefully it continues."

2 Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Some of the wealthiest individuals in the United States are real estate developers. They make their money by buying a piece of property that is terribly run down, seemingly useless, without any value to the naked eye and reforming it completely, making it look brand new! These businessmen are not as much interested in what is on the property as they are interested in the land it's on!
So it is with God and us. He's not at all interested in what we've built with our lives — he's not interested in our wealth or the diplomas we've acquired or the name we've made for ourselves. He wants to completely renovate us! He has a vision for our lives much greater than we can imagine. All He needs is for us to give up our land so that He can go to work and start rebuilding!
We're an old warehouse, slated for the wrecking ball! And we have the opportunity to be renewed today. Let's give Him our lives yet again.

Long ton (L/T sometimes known as a gross ton, weight ton, or imperial ton) is the name for the unit called the "ton" in the avoirdupois or Imperial system of measurements, as formerly used in the United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth countries. It has been mostly replaced by the short ton in the United States and the metric tonne elsewhere. It is equal to 2240 pounds (1016.0469088 kilograms). It has some limited use in the United States, most commonly in measuring the displacement of ships, and was the unit prescribed for warships (e.g., battleships limited to 35,000 tons) in the international agreements between the world wars.
The standard ton in the U.S. measurement system is the "short ton", equal to 2000 pounds (exactly 907.18474 kg). Both long and short tons are defined as 20 hundredweights, but a hundredweight is 112 pounds (which is equal to 8 stone) in the Imperial system (long or gross hundredweight) and 100 pounds in the U.S. system (short or net hundredweight).
The spelling "tonne" denotes the metric tonne of 1000 kilograms (approximately 2204.623 pounds).
A long ton-force is 2,240 pounds-force (9,964 newtons).

Review quote
"Extraordinary, resonant and relevant, beautiful and angry." -- Lisa Hilton Sunday Telegraph "...a beautifully balanced piece of storytelling...Unsettling, thought-provoking, life affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner." Guardian "A moving work which will make many eyes brim." -- Marianne Brace Independent on Sunday "This is a weighty novel worthy of universal acclaim. A sense of dread prevades this beautifully written novel. As The Book Thief draws to a close, Death says: "There's a multitude of stories that i allow to distract me as I work." The story of the Book Thief, who tried to change the world in her own small way, proves one formidable and inspiring distraction." -- Lianne Kolirin The Daily Express "Brilliant and hugely ambitious ... the kind of book that could be life-changing" New York Times Book Review


text: Humorous piece about a call-girl racket in which young brainy women engage in intellectual intercourse rather than physical. The story opens with Word Babcock asking help from private detective Kaiser Lupowitz. Word, who is married, seeks out women who for a price will discuss any subject--Proust, Yeats and anthropology. His wife won't discuss such subjects. Now he is being blackmailed by Flossie, the madam who sends out these brainy girls. Kaiser calls up Flossie and an appt. is set up with Sherry, a 19 yr. old who is working on her masters. They have a lengthy, mechanical discussion about Melville's "Billy Budd." Then he arrests her. Kaiser makes a deal with Sherry and she tells him that Flossie's front is the Hunter College Book Store. Kaiser gains entrance and finds out that besides intellectual experiences, for $50 you can "relate without getting close." Flossie shows up & turns out to be a man, without a college degree. Tells how Flossie had a scheme to take over the "N.Y. Review of Books," which failed. Then the police walk in and apprehend Flossie.

Think Stephen Fry is 'creepy'? Think again as we look back on the gay couples who definitely don't mind the (age) gap
So people appear to be a little upset about Stephen Fry, for he is about to marry a man who is 30 years younger than him.
He's been accused of 'cradle snatching' and being 'creepy' while his fiancé Elliott Spencer has been labeled a 'gold digger' and 'fake'.
But who's to say what their relationship is like?
Other gay couples have proved that you can form a real, loving relationship that proves age is just a number.
Some have lasted, and some have not.
But did she scare any of them off?
Spice Girls singer Mel B has reveals she's had sex with women but says she's not a lesbian.
The British singer, now a judge on The X Factor, revealed that she had sexual relationships with women in the past but now she's 'happily married' it no longer matters.
She was speaking with Alan Carr on his Chatty Man talk show, due to air tonight (7 November).
When asked about straight women who had become lesbians, she said: 'Yeah. I was one of those for a few years.'
Reflecting on ABC's latest comedy show, Rev. Irene Monroe thinks there's a fine line to tread between reflecting reality and causing offence…
The second episode of ABC's promising new comedy Black-ish, aired last week, left its LGBTQ viewership 'black and blue.'
'It looks a little gay,' Pop (the grandfather played by Laurence Fishburne) casually told his son Dre – short for Andre – while he was stretching to prepare for his talk with his son about the 'birds and the bees.'
An open-air jeep takes you to the Palm Spring domiciles of your favorite gay icons, from the steps of Liberace's estates to Cher's former getaway palace
Unless you're comedian Kathy Griffin, chances are slim Cher's going to invite to into her house to raid her wig closet.
However, Palm Springs tour guides are giving travelers the ultimate tease with the Gay Icons Tour, a historical journey on an open-air Jeep where you are led to the desert homes of you favorite gay idols.
Old Hollywood glamour had a strong hand in shaping Palms Springs thanks to Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland and more Tinsel-Town divas who made their home in the desert city.
After repeatedly failing drug tests, the pianist's most famous gay lover is facing jail time of up to two decades
Liberace's most famous gay lover is to face up to 20 years in jail after repeatedly failing drug tests.
Scott Thorson, 54, spent five years with the pianist and wrote about his experiences in the book Behind The Candelabra: My Life With Liberace.

Behind the Candelabra also wins - See full list of winners

In his speech before a star-studded crowd at the ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Douglas called Damon 'the bravest, most talented actor I've ever worked with. The only reason (he's) not here is I had more sequins.'
Orange is The New Black, Behind the Candelabra and Blue is the Warmest Color get nods

Douglas beat out competition that included his Candelabra co-star Matt Damon who played Liberace's much-younger lover Scott Thorson.
'This was a two hander – and you're only as good as your other hand,' he said to Damon.
Scott Thorson, Liberace's ex-lover, has no problem not being in Hollywood to attend the Emmys

A spokesman for the star confirmed today that Jackson and husband Monte Lapka have split after 13 years together. They were married in 2011 when same-sex marriage became legal in New York.
In a statement to Playbill, a spokesman for Jackson called it an 'amicable parting and, understandably, a private matter.'
Out singer will not be able to perform the rest of his Australian tour dates due to torn vocal chords
While R&B singer Chris Brown may be known for being more physical in his arguments, out star and artist Frank Ocean proves you can deal out more damage with words in his new song lyrics.
The 'Thinking 'Bout You' singer references the Grammys in his remix of Versace by Migos, as seen by the lyrics he posted on his Tumblr page.
'Ultimately, I think he's a good guy, and I think he is suffering'
Comedienne Margaret Cho caught some flack for outing John Travolta in her live act even though the star has never come out as gay or bisexual.
But he's been plagued by gay rumors for decades and in recent years faced a series of sexual harassment lawsuits from various men - none of which have so far been successful in court.
So Cho does not apologize for talking about the star of Saturday Night Fever, Grease and Pulp Fiction and his alleged sexuality.
'I don't think John Travolta is in any danger of bullying'
John Travolta has never publicly stated that he is gay - or even bisexual.
But comic Margaret Cho said today that she made jokes about him being gay in her act because of media reports and because she doesn't feel it puts him on any danger.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the American TV and film star has described his transformation from screen heartthrob to an androgynous looking cat with a serious disposition for cosmetic enhancement.
The film was made for TV after being passed on by every major studio
Behind the Candelabra, the critically-acclaimed film about Liberace and his much-younger lover, scored big ratings for pay cable network HBO over the weekend.
The film premiered on Sunday (26 May) to 2.4 million viewers making it the most-watched debut for an HBO Films movie since 2004's Something the Lord Made starring Alan Rickman and Mos Def film.
Movie icon was close friends with the entertainer and plays his mother in the HBO film Behind the Candelabra
Debbie Reynolds, who plays Liberace's mother in the HBO film Behind the Candelabra, socialized a lot with the late entertainer when both were doing stage shows in Las Vegas in the 70s and 80s.
Reynolds, 81, turned to the stage after her movie career starring in such films as Singin in the Rain and Yhe Unsinkable Molly Brown had cooled a bit. But like Liberace, she found Vegas audiences more than welcoming.

Your article on the status of SERC optoelectronics research support cannot be left without further comment.
It is a fact that the optoelectronics subcommittee of SERC presently receives insufficient funds to support more than a fraction of the highly-rated research proposals before it, despite the high priority that the Government places on the subject. This committee, and its forerunner, the solid-state devices subcommittee, have established continuing (rolling) grant support to several centres including our own at Heriot-Watt.
To suggest, as your picture caption did, that the above paucity of funds could place such a centre 'in peril' is, however, a gross exaggeration. The major centres receive research grants from a number of SERC committees, from the MoD and UK industry, and from such foreign sources as the European Commission and US funding agencies. For example, at Heriot-Watt the optoelectronics subcommittee rolling grant support has totalled Pounds sterling 880 000 over ...
