The Sub-Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term capital growth by investing in companies, globally, that the Investment Manager believes to be socially responsible. The Sub-Fund will mainly invest, directly or through the use of financial derivative instruments, in companies considered by the Investment Manager to be ethical and socially responsible in the sense that they tend to reach a high level of corporate, social and environmental responsibility, including environmental sustainability, fair competition, respect of employees and stakeholders and human rights defense. Companies that do not follow international norms and conventions or have income from controversial activities such as military weapons, alcohol distribution or production, tobacco distribution or production, gambling or adult entertainment, will be deemed "non-ethical" and thereby not eligible for the Sub-Fund's investment universe.

The closest I can come to your interior photographer is the 55mm lens on my Mamiya C330f. As Lex has said, this lens has never "distorted" parallel lines. When one observes a tall building, looking up at an angle for example, his eye sees the convergence just as camera lens does, however his brain works to "correct" this because it "knows" from experience that the building is not really falling backward. Then when he makes the picture and observes the same scene his brain tells him the lines should be parallel. But the flat image shows all the convergence vividly just as recorded. It is not really distortion.
Again as Lex has pointed out there are ways to eliminate or minimize convergence. With a 35mm camera your choices are limited. I have used Nikon's perspective control lens a couple of times (borrowed) but I have found the best policy is to keep the film plane parallel (as Lex said). One way is to get as far from the offending subject as possible then enlarge to suit. I have also resorted to tilting the enlarger base (explained by bjorke), stopping down and exposing for (a long time).
The bottom line is that most lenses do not distort (much) - photographers sometimes do. Perspective control or loss of control is often referred to as distortion but it really is not if you think about it. It can produce bizarre images.

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Congratulations to Jason Collins on being named to Time magazine's "TIME 100" most influential people in the world and to President Obama's Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. The first openly gay active player in the National Basketball Association, Collins is also featured on one of the Time's inside covers of the special issue to be published on April 26, 2014.
On April 23, 2014, Time revealed that Collins has been included among the magazine's eleventh annual "TIME 100" list of the world's most influential people. The profile on Collins is written by Chelsea Clinton, who was his friend and classmate at Stanford University.
Collin's appointment to the President's Council on Fitness, Nutrition, and Sports was announced in a White House press release of April 24, 2014. The press release noted that Collins joined the NBA in 2001, following his graduation from Stanford University, and that he has played for the Washington Wizards, the Boston Celtics, the Atlanta Hawks, the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Memphis Grizzlies, and the New Jersey Nets. He currently plays for the Brooklyn Nets.
The press release also notes that Collins is a partner with the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN), a national education organization focused on ensuring safe schools for all students.
On April 29, 2013, Collins made history as the first professional athlete in a major American team sport to come out while still playing. In the cover story of the May 6, 2013 issue of Sports Illustrated, Collins wrote, "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."
He continued, "I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different.' If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand."
"My journey of self-discovery and self-acknowledgement began in my hometown of Los Angeles and has taken me through two state high school championships, the NCAA Final Four and the Elite Eight, and nine playoffs in 12 NBA seasons. I've played for six pro teams and have appeared in two NBA Finals. Ever heard of a parlor game called Three Degrees of Jason Collins? If you're in the league, and I haven't been your teammate, I surely have been one of your teammates' teammates. Or one of your teammates' teammates' teammates."
In his wide-ranging essay, Collins recalled that the first relative he came out to was his aunt Teri, a judge in San Francisco. She told him, "I've known you were gay for years." Her casual acceptance encouraged him to come out to other relatives, including a gay uncle, and his twin brother Jarron, also an NBA player.
But, he said, "I realized I needed to go public when Joe Kennedy, my old roommate at Stanford and now a Massachusetts congressman, told me he had just marched in Boston's 2012 Gay Pride Parade. I'm seldom jealous of others, but hearing what Joe had done filled me with envy. I was proud of him for participating but angry that as a closeted gay man I couldn't even cheer my straight friend on as a spectator."
In the Sports Illustrated essay, Collins also explained the pain he felt in the closet, the toll taken by having to live a lie. He revealed that he made a small gesture of solidarity with the gay community by insisting on wearing the number 98 on his jersey in honor of Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in 1998.
Fittingly, when Collins joined the Brooklyn Nets this year, he also was given a jersey with the number 98.
Although Collins was the first active NBA player to come out, former NBA player John Amaechi came out in 2007, four years after his retirement. During his playing career, Amaechi was aware of speculation about his sexual orientation. He even called his homosexuality "an open secret" among sports writers; nevertheless, he did not make any public declaration about it because of possible negative reaction from other players or coaches. "It would be like an alien dropping down from space," he said. "There'd be fear, then panic. They just wouldn't know how to handle it."
News of Collins's announcement, however, prompted almost unanimous praise. President Bill Clinton lauded the player's courage and issued the following statement: "I have known Jason Collins since he was Chelsea's classmate and friend at Stanford. Jason's announcement today is an important moment for professional sports and in the history of the LGBT community."
He added, "It is also the straightforward statement of a good man who wants no more than what so many of us seek: to be able to be who we are; to do our work; to build families and to contribute to our communities. For so many members of the LGBT community, these simple goals remain elusive. I hope that everyone, particularly Jason's colleagues in the NBA, the media and his many fans extend to him their support and the respect he has earned."
In the video below, Collins speaks of those who have been influential on him. Among them are tennis legend Martina Navratilova.

Some background...I can't wear nail polish. Or I can, but my nails break super fast with polish. I also work stocking and volunteer with animals and clean a lot a home, so I never have polish that lasts very long anyway. Generally I just do my toes or especially my kids nails. I saw the color in Indigo-go Girl, and though it's all glittery, it is pretty and I knew the kids would love it. (I love it too). But since I really can't wear polish I don't want to spend a lot of money on mine or the kids polish. So I got this while there was a $2 sale also. And I use the store coupons so it's even less. I picked up Lilac-ing You and Tutu Cute as well.
I tried the Lilac first, and I did find it was a little streaky and a little thick on applicaion even though it seems watery in the bottle. It could be because I mixed a little of another nail polish color in the bottle to make it less pink, or maybe because it's a lighter color. But it seemed to dry ok, more smooth and even and it even was pretty shiny. It only took two coats. I put the glitter on top of one nail and it looks great. I don't expect it to last since no polish does on me, so for that I think under $2 is a good deal. I see pretty nail polishes that are $10 and up and I get tempted but I definitely should stick to things like this.
I don't think I'd pay the full $6 for it. Maybe just because it's not high on my list of wants, but I also think it's about Sally Hanson quality, but it costs more normally.

This review is for the salon formula nail lacquer line. I bought a few because it was on sale for $2. Don't like the brush. Applies somewhat streaky. Not opaque (especially the yellow one in the color: Sun-Sational). Some of the lighter colors like the yellow and baby pink takes about 3 coats. I don't mind the 3 coats but it chipped on me within a day. I don't have that problem with most polishes, so it's not my top coat. I will not repurchase. I feel like it is a waste of time to apply these polishes, if i have to change it in 3-4 days. I usually like to wear a polish for at least 7 days before changing it. Changing nail polish every 3-4 days can be damaging to the nails.

This is for the color "Chic Peek" which is a sheer brown with silver microglitter. The formula is a bit thick, and I have to wait longer than usual between coats. But it's a really nice color and I look forward to using up the bottle. Use 3-4 coats to get the bottle color.

Every polish I buy from Ulta is amazing! The color is lush and creamy, the polish spreads well, it lasts a long time. Bonus: the prices are great! Ulta has sales all the time 2 for $5 or 3 for $6 on their products which are mix and match. Why buy polish thats more expensive at the drugstore? Also you can try the polish at Ulta to see if it works for you. Def recommond!

I got this in "Fuschiamania" for free with my rewards points. I wasn't expecting much, but this is a really good polish. The first coat was a little streaky but the second was fine. It has good wear time, and I love the bottle, it's cute lol. The color looks red on the web site for some reason, but it's a creamy fuschia in reality.

I bought eye popping poppy and I must say it is a beautiful color . It's like an orange pink red, doesn't pull too much of any of the colors, just a beautiful mix. But the polish is way too thin. I need about 4 coats to just get opacity from the polish. i do love the color, but it makes me hesitant to try other ulta colors, I'll stick with my trusted revlon and Essie nail polishes from now on

I'm so enamored with the Ulta polish I just picked up, in the shade "Oh!" Being not a fan of orange-y cosmetics, Oh! is the first "orange-y" polish I've ever actuallly LIKED. Imagine a creamy pale (but not too pale) orange sherbet shade infused with a fine spun-gold shimmery GLOW. Sooo beautiful and perfect for summer! I also found an apricot Ulta lipstick that matches the shade super well... it's #204. Both the polish and lipstick are surprisingly elegant formulas, attractively packaged. For the price, they truly can't be beat. I've used nail polishes that cost five times as much, and don't go on as well. The polish takes a bit longer than is ideal to fully dry, but is very forgiving going on, and it's long lasting. It goes on as smooth and level as Chanel polish, no joke!... with no bubbling. "Oh!" is not a streaky polish, even at one coat, so you can wear it sheer or go for two coats which will get you the same gorgeous "sunlit sherbet" shade you see in the bottle. This is my first Ulta polish and I'm sure I'll be back for another! The shade selection is quite nice, and if you like subtle shimmers as much as I do, you'll be in polish heaven.

I was expecting the quality of this polish to not be that great, but I was wrong. I got the color "Sweetheart pink" it stayed on for about 7 days didn't chip or anything definitely long wearing. The only downside is the top to it broke off and constantly came unattached.

Originally written on Brewers Bar | Last updated 7/31/13
(Image: Jacquelyn Martin/AP) Now that it's been over a week since Ryan Braun accepted a 65-game suspension for violating MLB's drug policy and basic agreement, professional and amateur pundits have had plenty of opportunity to share their opinions. Some of these reactions have been thoughtful and interesting. Many more have been tedious. Here are five examples of the silliest reactions to the Braun troubles. 1. Braun Must Go! JSOnline's editorial board has been a reliable source of lazy scolding throughout the recent Braun revelations. Its editorial in the immediate aftermath of Braun's suspension was feeble even by the low standards they've set for themselves: "Ryan Braun has to go…The Brewers should end their relationship with Braun. Only then can the organization 'move on.'" If there has ever been a less self-aware example of cutting-off-the-nose-to-spite-the-face, it does not immediately leap to mind. Braun's $100-million-plus contract and tarnished reputati

Jonathan White: Damavand: A Ski Ascent of Iran's Iconic Volcano
At 5671m, Damavand is the highest mountain in the middle east, and it towers above the rest of the Albortz range between Tehran and the Caspian Sea. Jonathan will look at some of the logistical hurdles that the team had to overcome to get there, and their experiences of the visiting the Islamic Republic.
26th-28th June 2015. AC New Members Meet - George Starkey Hut, Patterdale, Lakes
6th-10th July. Kelynack, St Just, Penzance, Cornwall. Camping meet.
The Club is now focussing its fundraising efforts to give long term support for the rebuilding of communities through Community Action Nepal, which continues to work hard to support the victims of the recent earthquakes. It's clear that there is a great deal of work to do in the aftermath of the tragedy with widespread damage to homes and communities.
More than any other country, Nepal and its people are close to the hearts of most mountaineers so it is no surprise that there are numerous Alpine Club items included in the BMC's auction on eBay in support of CAN. Alpine Club members have donated their time or their property to the auction which is likely to have international appeal and we hope everyone will support the event by viewing the lots online from 28th June and bidding generously for any that appeal to them.
A preview of the auction can be found at the BMC
So, if you have always wanted to climb with Mick Fowler, would like to give Mike Westmacott's 1953 Everest butterfly and moth collection a new home, or spend an hour with Michael Palin, then this will be your chance!

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

Candidate Seamus McCaffery is preparing for election day on Nov. 6. He's appeared at picnics, parades, even several motorcycle events, wearing a black leather vest surrounded by biker buddies.
But he's not your average candidate. He's not even a politician. He's a judge. And he is trying to get a seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
Pennsylvania is one of 22 states that have contested state Supreme Court elections. The states have varying degrees of regulations from contribution limits to advertising disclosures to public financing limits. Critics of the system say that the fundraising for the elections has gotten out of control.
McCaffery calls himself a "walking, talking American dream." He has served as a police officer and spent 11 and a half years at night school to become a lawyer and trial judge.
He currently sits as an appellate superior court judge of Pennsylvania and may be best known as the judge who set up the Eagles Court at Philadelphia's Veterans stadium to bring immediate justice to overly rowdy fans.
He has raised more than a $1 million for his race.
Fundraising efforts in his state have exceeded $5 million, and are smashing previous records. The election has seen a sharp influx of fancy Web sites, campaign commercials and speeches on the campaign trail.
In last year's election for state Supreme Court seats, TV ads ran in 10 of the 11 states with contested elections. Average television spending per state was $1.6 million.
But watchdog groups see real problems with judges becoming beholden to special interests that donate to judicial campaigns. Those advocating reform believe special interest pressure is metastasizing into a permanent national threat to the impartiality of American courts.
According to Justice at Stake, which monitors judicial elections and ballot measures, Pennsylvania is not the only state breaking records.
Candidates for the Alabama Supreme Court have combined to raise $54 million since 1993, more than any state in the country. Special interest groups in Washington state combined to spend over $2.7 million on top court campaigns, and every TV ad in those races in 2006 was paid for by third-party groups.
Critics of the elections are hoping for a change in the system. In Minnesota, voters may consider a constitutional amendment that would change how the state's judges are chosen.
"When judges must raise big money for their election campaigns, public confidence in America's courts is undermined," said Jesse Rutledge, a spokesman for Justice at Stake.
"Increasingly, judges are facing escalating pressure to be accountable to special interests and political partisans instead of the law and the Constitution."
McCaffery tells potential voters on his Web site to "come out and vote" because "I need your help." His Web site flashes pictures of him touting his experience and asking for volunteers to distribute literature door to door.
On the Web site, he admits that the "hardest part of a campaign is raising money," but he has no qualm with the system and thinks it is far better than a "merit based system" favored in other states where a governor might select a judge.
McCaffery said Pennsylvania is "lucky we have elections" and said that a governor's choice in a merit based system would not be a "poor guy like me who went to night school."

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/2/12
Anthony Davis, the overall No. 1 draft pick of the New Orleans, has left Friday night's game against Utah and is being tested for a possible concussion and will not return. Davis had eight points - all on dunks in the first half - six rebounds and two blocks. He was injured with 4:51 left in the first half. The Hornets released an official statement that he will be out for the rest of the game. The Hornets trailed 41-40 at halftime. Davis, who led Kentucky to the NCAA championship last season, scored 21 points in his regular-season debut on Wednesday in the Hornets' 99-95 loss to San Antonio. He hit 6 of 12 shots, made all nine of his free throw attempts and grabbed seven rebounds.

Does this help your overall health at all?

Does this help your overall health at all?
I was just thinking about this, and I know trans fat never digests gets suck in there, and needs cleaned out.
It does have a certain name, but I can't think of it.
Colon Hydrotherapy
I've never heard anything about them. I've actually heard a lot of doctors advice patients to avoid them since they rarely do anything. A quick google of colon cleansing brought this result: http://www.livescience.com/health/060808_bad_colon.html
If you are worried about things backing up or sticking (which I have never heard of), eat more fiber, nature's laxative!
Trans fat never gets digested, but I don't think it gets stored in the colon. Let me search on that.
The colon always cleans itself out. Always. The only reason it wouldn't is because of blockage which could be a sign of cancer or other serious conditions.
Well I did some research, and there are very many positives having this done.
care to share those with everyone else?
I would really love to hear some positives (coming from a reputable source of course), considering most doctors don't recommend it.
Lol Rock, I was never thinking of getting this done, well not in my teenage years, I know it's gonna have to happen sometime.
KW, Blanche - take a look here: http://www.colonhealth.net/colon_hyd...apy/index.html (bulletins down the page)
*No medical license or formal training is required to perform
*Outbreaks of severe infections have been reported (from inadequately sterilized equipment).....let that one sink in visually
*Severe electrolyte imbalance has been reported (due to excessive fluid absorption occurring during the "irrigation"......the colon is not meant to withstand that much fluid directly introduced onto its surface)
*Congestive Heart Failure (same reason as above)
*Bowel perforation (in some cases leading to death)
These are a few. I think I'm just fine with my colon the way it is.
Somewhat related, colon cleaning always makes me think of the guy on the "7 day miracle cleanse" informercial. Maybe you've seen it.
Paraphrasing, hes like "your dangerous body plaques build up in your colon, causing cancer, osteopersosis, aids, herpes, and all maladies known to man. cleansing your colon is the first step to a healthful, long life..."
Why don't you read these:
Also, I found this as an ad on the site you gave me, too funny! http://colonblow.com/ (Poopin' is cool!)
Holto knows a lot about this stuff. If he doesn't make his way in here, PM him.
Really, all you need is a diet with plenty of fiber & plenty of exercise. Now if you've taken a bunch of antibiotics in your lifetime, then you may have killed off some of the healthy bacteria in your colon needs to effectively digest food. If this is the case then you would need to add some yogurt with the live cultures to your diet. Digestive enzymes wouldn't be a bad addition either. But if that's not the case, then don't mess with laxatives or anything like that. They make your colon lazy then you will develop problems.
And remember, kids, there's nothing good about a lazy colon.
The lesson is: eat your damn vegetables!
LMFAO @ hy colonics.
My mentor in grad school has a wife who was very much into "herbal remedies" and alternative therapies. Amongst these therapies were touch therapy/reflexology and hy colonics. She made her husband get one every few months. The ongoing joke in the department was "here comes butt boy and his wife"...I still don't understand how any scientist could rationalize this, but then again, maybe he just got tired of hearing his wife nag.
The colon being the perfect place for microorganisms, there's no way there could be any meat plaque or anything stupid like that. You put meat at the normal ambiant temperature for a couple days and it rots and liquefy, so imagine, at worst, what would happen to undigested meat.
Anyway, if your stomach acid levels are normal, meat liquefies in the stomach.
About trans fats, the problem is mostly their similarity to other fats of cells membrane; they take their place and **** up the membrane permeability of your cells. Basically, your cells have less control on what goes in and out. That's only about artificial trans fats; those naturally found in animal products are very healthy.

An AI companion is a computer-controlled ally who follows and aids you through your adventures or who requires your protection. The AI companion's survival is often essential to game and story progression.
Achievements are extra challenges added into video games that sometimes carry a point value or unlock bonus material, and are sometimes solely for bragging rights.
Present in most action games, where people can say cheesy stuff and get away with it. Usually spoken by the hero, before or after wasting a dude.
Characters either begin with multiple outfits, unlock them through play, or purchase them as in-game items. These costumes are sometimes integral to play.
Video games stories with a bad ending or endings, in which the primary conflict is unable to be resolved and/or a bad fate befalls the protagonist.
Players save their game when they need to go to the bathroom. So, why not place the game save point in a digital bathroom?
A proprietary video codec (.bik extension) developed by RAD Game Tools and used in a very large number of video games.
Because you'd never expect a banana to be an undercover cluster grenade.
Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
When blood will splash textures on walls or floors and even roofs.
Bats, hammers, wrenches, maces, staves, or even brass knuckles. These are weapons intended for blunt trauma rather than cutting or slicing.
A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
Glass that can be broken and destroyed in real-time.
While in many games, cooperative modes merely add players to the game world, some games limit the distance allowed between the players at any one time.
Limited editions of games that include extra "perks" like Making of DVDs and a nice and shiny tin with extra box art
The act of preparing food by applying heat, often cooking in games produces items which yield some kind of benefit towards your character.
Cooperative play in games allows humans to play together as a team to accomplish a task. Instead of playing against a human opponent, the team must defeat an AI.
The ultimate pressure feature. You have to complete the task at hand, be it finishing your opponent or cutting the right wire, in the allotted time depending on which game you're playing. So be quick or you lose.
These games let players see the credits without needing to play the game first.
Crooked Cops work both sides of the law for their own benefit.
The act of dressing in clothing to appear as a member of the opposite sex, generally used either for comic effect or for sexual excitement.
A sight placed on the HUD used to aim and provide a point of reference to the player when looking and interacting with the game world. Although they often aim weapons, they have a variety of uses and have appeared in many games in many different forms.
Crowd control is the art of whittling down large groups of attacking enemies via the constant reassessment of the greatest threat to the player; achieved by constant player movement, and adjusting the aim to the closest threat, then quickly moving on to the next greatest threat, and so forth.
Get stuck in a mass of people and feel like a sheep getting nowhere.
Effective and brutal way to put an opponent down. Involves stomping on somebody's dead or almost dead body.
The Citizens for Undead Rights and Equality is a group that appears first in Dead Rising 2. They are compassionate towards zombies and view them as being just as human as the rest of us.
Some games let players customize their character (or characters). Degree of customization may vary, with some games simply allowing to choose between different types of clothes, while others provide more detailed tinkering of features such as the distance between a character's eyes or hair color.
Games that are divided into daily (or nightly) chapters.
Environments cycle between day and night, often with effects on other aspects of the game.

Power Lawyers: THR Unveils America's Top 100 Entertainment Attorneys
Southwestern University School of Law
Why he matters: One of Hollywood's top finance lawyers, Burke's duties include management of 250 films in The Weinstein Co. film library, legal oversight of Dune Capital Management's $600 million production and distribution arrangement with Fox, slate financing deals to the tune of $300 million and $100 million for Spyglass Entertainment and Focus Features, respectively, and Bank of America's participation in a $1.2 billion credit facility for Village Roadshow to co-finance Warner Bros. movies. And in 2012, he helped raise $275 million more for Village Roadshow. Burke also represents three major New York hedge funds that are recapitalizing Relativity Media.
Key deal: Burke represented Bank of America and JP Morgan in a credit facility allowing Content Partners to acquire a 50 percent interest in the TV series CSI from Goldman Sachs. Every one of the entities on both sides of the deal are Akin Gump clients, notes Burke, "so it shows what a small world it has become."Click here to read THR's complete Power Lawyers list.

Hello everyone! My name is Jordan, about a month ago I became a SAHM to my 4 year old DD. Before that I was working part time at a bookstore in St Helens. We also have a little boy due at the very end of August. We were living out near Sauvie Island and have recently moved closer in and are living in Tigard. my daughter is really missing her school friends and I feel a little guilty she isn't getting to play with other kids her age. I would love to find a regular playgroup or some friends we could meet up with.
A little about us -- I'm 24, attachment parenting, water birthing, cloth diapering, selective vaxing etc.(Of course DD is long out of diapers, but we're getting back into that soon) DF is dreamy and wonderful and makes video games. My DD is really amazing. She loves other kids, both older and younger, boys and girls. She's really very kind and empathetic, and she absolutely loves playing, using her imagination. I like crafty things, love reading, like to spend time outside.
If anyone would like to meet up at a park or anything DD and I would really love it
Girl absolutely in love with boy and our DD (11/06), DS1 (08/11) and DS2 (brand new!)

The Rose firm was a source of pain and controversy for the Clinton administration. One partner, Vince Foster, the deputy chief White House counsel, committed suicide. Another, associate attorney general Webb Hubbell, went to prison for mail fraud and tax evasion in a case involving the bilking of Rose and its clients. Hillary Clinton faced a grand jury in 1996, after Rose billing records sought by prosecutors for two years surfaced in her White House quarters.
Not surprisingly, that long chapter of Clinton's life is missing from her campaign narrative. "There's nothing at the Rose law firm that helps her. Nothing and no one," says Susan Estrich, a Democratic strategist and law professor at the University of Southern California.
The CEO lawyers
Giuliani was associate attorney general of the United States and a U.S. attorney in New York before he became New York City mayor in 1993. As a prosecutor, he went after organized crime, drugs and white-collar crime.
His pre-mayoral career meshes with his image as a hard-nosed enemy of crime and terrorism. As liberal lawyer-blogger Glenn Greenwald has written, Giuliani has a "talent for expressing prosecutor-like righteous anger toward 'bad people.' "
Giuliani decided on law school when he was a senior at Manhattan College. At first the idea of being a prosecutor seemed "harsh," he told the Academy of Achievement, an education group, in 2003, but he came to see it as a way to protect people, deter crime and "create more respect for the law."
Being a prosecutor is a good fit for a Republican candidate because it signals you are tough on crime, says Michael Dorf, author of No Litmus Test, a book on law and politics. Even better, Dorf says, is not to be a lawyer, because many Republicans think a lawyer's job is to "make it hard to do business."
"If you're a Republican who's a lawyer, you want to be Romney," says Dorf, a constitutional law professor at Columbia Law School.
That's Romney's view, too. He says there's a perception that some lawyers are "enriched by suing people, suing doctors. That doesn't sit well with a lot of people, myself included." He never planned to be a lawyer; he says his father convinced him that a law degree would help his business career.
Romney hammers at his man-in-charge credentials on the trail: CEO of an investment firm, governor of Massachusetts and — in one of his ads — "rescuer" of the scandal-plagued, financially struggling 2002 Winter Olympics.
However, his legal training emerges when he discusses how he'd make White House decisions.
In law school, Romney says in the interview, you learn to analyze opposing views. "I like that kind of a decision-making process," he says. "You look for people who disagree with you. The best way to get to the bottom of an issue is to have people … bring their strongest arguments together and do battle."
You can't make decisions, he adds, "by listening to only … your friends or listening to your gut. Your gut … is often wrong."
That seems to echo criticisms of the Bush administration. So does Romney think Bush has soured voters on the idea of an MBA president? He declines to comment.
How lawyer skills would help
Critiques of Bush's administration have focused on mismanagement and flawed policymaking, such as a lack of openness to varied views. Lawyers say legal training might have helped Bush.

Back cover copy
"There is certainly a place for many commentaries on Galatians, but those who invest in only one would do well to make it Moo's. Careful in its exegesis, balanced in its judgments, fair in its treatment of others, and theologically sensitive, Moo's "Galatians," like his commentary on Romans, is sure to become a standard work in the field." --Stephen Westerholm, McMaster University "Douglas Moo's expertise as a commentator is well known, and his skill is on display in this outstanding commentary on Galatians. Moo is scrupulously fair to opposing viewpoints and nuanced and careful in his explication of the text. In addition to a line-by-line explanation of the letter, Moo also offers a substantive and satisfying explanation of Paul's theology in Galatians." --Thomas R. Schreiner, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "An excellent commentary! Douglas Moo conducts a thorough exegesis in critical and constructive discussion with all the major new proposals for interpreting Galatians and Pauline theology, especially the New Perspective, and presents a clear and persuasive exposition of Paul's arguments in the epistle. Many scholars and pastors will appreciate this book as the most helpful and reliable commentary on Galatians currently available." --Seyoon Kim, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary "A veritable gold mine of linguistic data, of various scholarly options, and of Moo's own informed responses to all sorts of critical issues of importance in the study of Paul's letter to his Christian converts in the Roman province of Galatia." --Richard N. Longenecker, Wycliffe College, University of Toronto "Moo has written the single best commentary now available on Galatians. His exegesis of the text arises out of meticulous research in the primary sources and engagement with a vast range of secondary literature. His insightful and fair judgments are the product of balanced, mature reflection on the important theological issues that Paul raises in the letter. All this is expressed in clear, engaging prose." --Frank Thielman, Beeson Divinity School

FRANKFURT, Germany — Six of the world's leading central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, say they will provide each other with ready supplies of their currencies on a standing basis, extending arrangements set up to steady the global financial system during post-2007 turbulence.
The decision announced Thursday extends currency swap arrangements that until now had been considered temporary measures.
The central banks are the Fed, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada and the Swiss National Bank.
The so-called swap lines enable those central banks to make sure banks in their home countries can always borrow ready cash from them in any of the currencies involved, should they need it.
The ECB said the arrangements "have helped to ease strains in financial markets" and "will continue to serve as a prudent liquidity backstop."
The Fed and the ECB started their first dollar-euro swap arrangement in December 2007 as the losses on mortgage-backed bonds began to shake the banking system. Subsequent bilateral deals between the different banks were added during the financial turbulence that followed, which included the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 and Europe's crisis over too much government debt in several countries.

JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group.
A JPEG is a well-known file format used for photographs and other images. Digital cameras, for example, often use the JPEG format for storing pictures and transferring them onto computers. The JPEG is known for high compression ratios, and most websites that allow image uploads accept the standard JPEG file.
The JPEG format was specifically designed to compress image files in a way that information lost is information that is not easily detectable by the human eye. For example, the human eye can detect differences in intensity (brightness) much better than differences in tone (color); so JPEG compression discards more color information than intensity information. The idea is that JPEG files require less disc storage space, but that the pictures are not noticeably compromised. On the other hand, while JPEG works well for typical photos (continuous tone), it is less effective for line drawings or images that contain text: the sharp edges may appear blurred. For this reason, lossless file formats are recommended for images with sharp lines or boundaries
The Joint Photographic Experts Group was founded in 1986.
JPEG compression works by allowing pixels of similar color values to be stored as a single color block, substantially reducing storage sizes . Variable JPEG compression allows the degree of compression to be selected, so the operator can choose the point at which the compression begins affecting the image view. JPEG files delivers 24-bit color imaging. Each pixel in a digital image contains 24 bits of data used to define the exact color, allowing for 16 million potential color variations.

Here in our physics labs we now have and use over thirty of these 72-7720 DMMs. We have compared accuracy against much more expensive DMMs and these units match up very well. We especially like the auto back-light on the display because we actually do several experiments with the overhead lights out as we need to be able to see an electron beam. Adjusting beam voltages is very easy when you can see the display on these DMMs in the dark.

Although this is a manual ranging meter, it is user friendly and has many test ranges. It seems to be very accurate and it is easy to read. The automatic back-light is nice for dim areas. I use it for both A/C and D/C measurements.

I have used this unit since 04, in pool automation electronics, musical instrument and electrical service and much to my surprise it has weathered, worn and operated, far exceeding my expectations of versatility. I need to replace it now but I have no complaints and changed the battery only once in its lifetime. A BANG for the buck. I was glad to see it was still available.

Finally, upgraded to 2013 and have been missing this capability for several years. A form of this was in early releases of Vault, but was left about around 2007'ish. It's back and improved. Just a couple of issues.... How do you get the colors to stick? Needs to work at the item level and compare two different versions of an item...Reply

Great App but not for all. On some PCs (about 10%-20%) Vault Explorers refuse to execute "Error loading DrawingCompare" unless uninstall add-in or delete DC folder from Vault's extensions folder. I wonder why it could be so? Just in case, our company uses WinXP mostly yet.Reply

One of the beauties of the Internet is that there are a lot of smart people out there and some of them are crazy enough to do spine wacks on their CRK blades.

As the famous philosopher Buster Poindexter intoned, Philly's "Feeling hot, hot, hot," as the first major heat wave drapes a thick wet blanket across the City of Brotherly Love. The city's Department of Health has issued an "excessive heat watch" due to the heat and humidity expected through the weekend.
Here's some advice from the department: Those most at risk in extreme heat are older people, those with chronic medical conditions such as heart disease, individuals taking certain regular medications, pregnant women, small children, those who work in a high heat environment, and anyone engaged in strenuous physical activity. The public should insure that fans and air conditioners are in working order; make plans now to check in with older friends, relatives and neighbors over the weekend; and if possible reschedule any plans for strenuous outdoor activity.
In other Friday news:

City Councilwoman Jannie Blackwell this morning introduced legislation that would roll back a $35 fee the city started charging in 2004 for filing out job applications for city jobs. Blackwell said she did some research and found that more than 7,500 people applied in April for city laborer jobs, raking in more than $263,000 in application fees for the city. "If you hire 100 people, what about the others," Blackwell asked.
Then-Mayor Street introduced the fee in 2004 as a one part of a larger plan to erase a budget deficit. Blackwell opposed it then and still does. "I don't think it's fair," she said. "It makes the citizens of this city feel like they're being unfairly picked on in this way."
Blackwell's legislation proposes a ballot question, which would ask voters if they want to prohibit the city's Civil Service Commission from imposing the fee. Blackwell said she hasn't spoken with Mayor Nutter about supporting the legislation. The Law Department, she said, recommended that the legislation be drafted as a ballot question.
Chris BrennanCity Council this morning approved a resolution calling on the U.S. Postal Service to honor basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain by creating a stamp with his image. Chamberlain's sister, Selina Gross, and his long-time friend Sonny Hill of the city's famed Sonny Hill League, were there to witness it all. "This is a very honored day," Hill told Council. "We should be doing more things like this. We should be recognizing our past. We should recognize our history." Gross later said she thought an image from Chamberlain's 1962 National Basketball Association record-setting 100-point game would be the best choice for a stamp.
Chris BrennanCity Council President Anna Verna, speaking in the caucus meeting before this morning's weekly session, paused a moment to savor the soon-to-arrive summer break. "OK, we're in the home stretch," Verna said with a smile, gazing across the round table at her colleagues. "Doesn't it feel good?" Nobody opposed that notion.
Catherine LuceyDave Davies notes that a loophole in the city's campaign finance law helps incumbents like Mayor Nutter.
Famed homicide prosecutor Roger King is retiring.
A City Controller study shows that the city is slow to deposit tax dollars and lost out on $1.3 million in interest last year.

With U.S. Sen. Barack Obama clinching the Democratic nomination, Mayor Nutter vowed yesterday to "be working hard every day to do anything that I can to be supportive of his candidacy to make sure he's the next president of the United States." Nutter, who met with Obama and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton last December, came away supporting Clinton. He played a high-profile role for her in their battle for the April primary in Pennsylvania.
Nutter, speaking on MSNBC the day before that primary, said he had spoken with Obama and Clinton about public safety, education, poverty and other issues. "And after going through that process and that analysis, talking with both, listening to their answers, looking at their backgrounds and history, it was very clear, and it was really not a tough choice to support Sen. Clinton," Nutter said then.
Nutter yesterday said he expects to speak with Obama at some point about the general election. But he declined to offer any advice on whether Obama should pick Clinton for his ticket as vice president. And Nutter dismissed a question about whether his support for Clinton means he needs to make amends with Obama. "We'll have a conversation, I'm sure. But it's not like we're at odds," Nutter said, adding that he often speaks with the four Democrats he defeated in last year's mayoral primary. "We're professionals. This is our business. This is what we do."
Catherine LuceyMayor Nutter today announced a series of initiatives to help people in danger of mortgage foreclosure, among them a city hotline for financial counseling.
Call 215-334-HOME.
Nutter has recorded a public service announcement to run on radio and television to tell people about the program. He urged people to ask for aid if they are in danger of losing their house.
Catherine LuceyGovernor Rendell just can't stop talking about the presidential race. Ben Smith of Politico reports that today he told NY1 News that Clinton -- who he endorsed -- might upstage Obama if she were VP.
Here's the exact quote:
"You know rule one for the vice president is make sure you never upstage the president, right? It's rule one. You know, Hillary Clinton in some ways couldn't help but upstage, even if she was trying not to"

OU's Jones Runs Ugly 40 at NFL Combine
During his record-setting Oklahoma career, Landry Jones was never confused for a dual-threat QB. He is and always will be a pocket passer, through and through.
Nonetheless, his 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine on Sunday raised a lot of eyebrows. And not in a good way.
Jones clocked in at a glacially slow 5.11 seconds - the worst among all quarterbacks. It wasn't just the time that was ugly. The best descriptor we can think of to describe his running form is "man trying to traverse hot coals."
Want a sobering basis of comparison for Jones' time? In his recent efforts to stage an NFL comeback, former LSU QB JaMarcus Russell reportedly ran a 5.2 40-yard dash. And he weighs over 300 pounds.
If you watch the full video, it appears as if someone coached him to start high stepping after 20 yards to shave time off his 40. If that's the case, that was some really bad advice.
