Shooting on the road, whether it's on vacation or on assignment, introduces a variety of considerations for photographers of all levels. How do you store the shots, back them up, edit and enhance images in the field, and then merge those images with your master library at home? In this course, Ben Long addresses these topics and more from the perspective of several field-shooting scenarios, including city vacationing and backcountry hiking.
The course takes a look at the hardware and software issues behind field shooting: assessing storage and backup needs, evaluating GPS geotagging options, surveying power and charging issues, and more. After discussing each of the components, Ben shows how they fit together in different field setups, ranging from an extravagant laptop-based system to a no-computer setup that backs up photos to a compact digital wallet device. The course also spotlights some workflow strategies to consider when you get home, from transferring photos to merging them with a larger photo library.
I had an enjoyable day out stomping around in different places, taking pictures, and I'm back here in my room, and I want to do a little post-production. Now, I wouldn't necessarily do that at the end of every day of shooting. I am on vacation, after all, and sitting in front of a computer doesn't feel particularly vacationy. But I would like to clear some cards off, because I know they're filled up and I need to replace them. I also want to do a little bit of editing because I've got one little chore that I need to get done here. The great thing about being in these luxury accommodations where I've got places to plug things in, and where I have been able to bring a full-on computer, the great thing about that is that I can do my normal post-production just like I would do at home. I can plug in a card reader.
I can take the cards out of my camera, stick them in, and copy them over to my computer. I'm actually copying them to an external drive. Actually, I'm copying them to two external drives, so that I will have two backups. And when those copies are done, I'm erasing the cards and putting them back in my camera and back into my card wallet. Every time you erase the cards, it's important to remember to use the Format command on your camera, not the Erase All command. That's going to make your cards a little more reliable. Now, I'm ready, using the software of my choosing, to go through my normal post-production process: rating images, finding the pick images, getting them organized.
I am doing that in Adobe Bridge. You could of course be doing this in Lightroom or Aperture or iPhoto, any number of different applications. The overall process is still the same: you find your pick images, you rate them. I'm going to actually do some editing on one of these images, partly because I want to see if it worked out the way that I thought it did, and also because one of the reasons I've been able to take this long vacation is that there's some work I can do on the road. I'm writing a magazine article, and I need a particular image that serves a particular teaching point, and I think this image of this tree here is the one.
So, I've edited that up into a final thing that I think I like, and it's time for me to send that off to the editor. And connectivity is very often something you need to figure out before you go on vacation, so that you can be sure you've got the connectivity options that you need. I knew that I was going to be needing to transfer some large files while I was here, and again, that's because I've got some work. But even if you're not having work or professional-related reasons, you might want to ensure that you've got connectivity because maybe you want to be able to send pictures to your friends at home or post images on Facebook or feed them to your Flickr stream, things like that.
Before I came here, I called ahead and found out that they do have wireless high-speed Internet in every room. I often don't trust that, to be honest, because in a large facility like this, depending on where you are, it may or may not work and it may not work particularly fast. I always travel with an ethernet cable also, because a lot of rooms that have wireless also have ethernet connections, and those are sometimes more reliable than a wireless connection. I'm actually right next to the office, which means that I can't throw wild parties, but it does mean that I've got really high-speed wireless here. I've been doing some file transfers already and they work really well.
So, all I'm going to do is take this image that I need to get to my editor, I'm going to FTP it to them. On the Mac, I use an FTP program called Transmit that I really like, and I can simply do a drag-and-drop from Bridge into the Transmit window to get that going. And fortunately, as I mentioned before, I've got nice high-speed access here. It's giving me, well, I said I had nice high-speed access, and now it says it's going to take half-an-hour. Bear in mind that a lot of times in a hotel you're going to have slower access in the evenings and in the mornings as everyone is waking up and getting online. During the middle of the day, you might be able to have very speedy access.
In the middle of the night, you might be able to also. If you need to do big transfers, you can leave them running at those times and probably have a better go at it then. So, that's the bulk of the post-production that I'm going to work through here in this situation. As I said, it's pretty much just like being at home. My only concern is that I'm working on a laptop computer here, and I do have a tower computer at home, and I'm going to want to be sure and be able to get all those things synchronized. We're going to talk more about that later. What I'm doing to facilitate that now is building a directory structure on my external drives that's just like the ones I have at home.
I'm putting images into the same types of folders and that kind of thing, and I'm managing all that manually. If you're using a program like Lightroom or Aperture, it's very likely taking care of all of that for you, and we'll discuss that in greater detail later. My cards are cleared off. I'm ready either for some night shooting tonight or another day of shooting tomorrow. I know that right now I'm hungry, so I'm going to go get some dinner.

Bathroom clutter can be organized for convenience
Bathrooms are not on anyone's priority list for organization. But they should be.
Here are some tips:
Clean out every drawer and cabinet. Discard cosmetics, hair products, fragrances and lotions you haven't used in six months. Fragrances have a shelf life of about one year after being opened. Unopened they'll last two years.
Toss products that have dried up or evaporated.
Discard old razors, scissors and other dull or rusty metal items.
Sort items into categories. Put similar things together: skin care products on the same shelf in your medicine cabinet; all shampoos in one spot; etc.
Store cosmetics in washable cosmetics bags.
Discard outdated medications (prescription and over-the-counter). Ask if your pharmacy has a "drug take-back" program. If not, mix medicines with coffee grounds or kitty litter; secure them in a garbage bag and make sure it is out of the reach of children or animals that might get into trash bins.
Arrange the remaining medicines in alphabetical order on a shelf, preferably in the kitchen. The bathroom is too damp for storing medicine.
Create storage by using your extra wall space.
Move the clothes hamper to a nearby closet. Choose a sturdy hamper for the bath that can double as a seat.
To make items easily accessible, install pull-out wire racks in the cabinet under the sink.
Install hooks on the back of the door for towels and robes.
Use shower caddies for shampoos, conditioner, soap, etc.
Place regularly used items in convenient locations. Store extra supplies elsewhere.
Install a canvas or plastic shoe bag on the back of the door for hair bushes, hair dryer, hairspray, lotions, etc.
If the bathroom is shared by several family members, assign each person a color code for toothbrushes, cups and other toiletries.
Use a tray or basket to organize perfume bottles and other small items on the countertop. It makes cleaning easier.
Store children's bath toys in a mesh bag. This will help them dry out.
Wall-mount magnifying mirrors and hair dryers.
Designate a spot for wet or dirty towels -- not the floor.
Combine partially used bottles of shampoo, lotions, bath oils, etc.
Staple a strip of 2-inch-wide elastic around the inside of a drawer. Place the bottles into the elastic to keep them from sliding.
Keep decorative items to a minimum for easy cleaning.
Keep a set of cleaning supplies in each bathroom. This saves hauling supplies around.

Big Lime and Big Injun Sands - Randolph Co
Located on old Rt 33 near Bowden Fish Hatchery, about 8 miles east of Elkins.
Excerpts from "
A Handbook of the Petroleum Industry
Big lime
(of Kentucky, West Virginia, southern Pennsylvania and southeastern Ohio).The geologic formation which is the Maxville limestone in southeastern Ohio and the Greenbrier limestone in West Virginia, and which may be continuous with the Ste. Geneviève and St. Louis limestones of Kentucky, must not be confused with the Big lime of the Central Ohio fields, which is of Devonian and Silurian age and not of Mississippian. The Big lime which is now being discussed is a formation which is generally productive in southeastern Ohio, often 'in the same areas in which the underlying Keener is productive. In Martin, Floyd and Knott counties, Kentucky, it is important from the standpoint of natural gas, which is contained in a thin lens of tan sand lying in the midst of the limestone. The thickness of the Big lime in Ohio and West Virginia ranges from a few feet up to 100 feet or more; but in Kentucky it is sometimes over 1000 feet in thickness.
Big Injun sand.About 1200 feet below the Pittsburgh coal is the Big Injunone of the thickest sands in the Appalachian basin, ranging from 50 to more than 400 feet. though not as important a producer as some other sands. It attains its best development in West Virginia and Pennsylvania, although it exists in eastern Kentucky and Ohio. It is productive at many places in southeastern Ohio. It is rather coarse in texture, and in many places contains pebbly layers which constitute the "pays." The Big Injun is generally water-bearing, and wells in it may be drowned out by the influx of water. In some places it is separated by shales into several sands. It belongs in the Mountain sand group of northern Pennsylvania; at Washington, Pennsylvania, it is called the Manifold sand, while its geologic equivalent is the Burgoon sandstone of Pocono age.

With the rapid development science and technology, can't be denied will also affect Subak, and if this happens than traditional tools will quickly changes, so it will be difficult to trace and reassembling all the equipment that had been used in the Balinese life, particularly life farming of Subak itself. And also includes examples of traditional houses, which is following the Balinese Hindu concepts about the spatial layout commonly known by "Asta Kosala - Kosali and Asta Bumi " concepts, this idea finally realized as a heritage which then became the Museum Subak. On the basis emergence of the idea to maintain one of the Subak as a kind of cultural heritage such as: the presence Sacred / Holy Monkey Forest in the entire island of Bali in Ubud monkey forest, Sangeh, Alas kedaton Monkey Forest, also the existence of temple such as: Tanah Lot Sea Temple, Taman Ayun temple and others. As well as the existence of Subak museum is also used as a place to collect various objects and data relating of the Balinese traditional water irrigation systems, which has historical value also can be used as a medium of learning for youth generation and research.
Beside the Subak museum is very important to explore, to save, secure, and maintain a wide range of the traditional tools. And in addition to be a tourism objects or recreation area is also to serve varieties of educations and informations material about the system documentation of water irrigation which is important for agriculture. Subak Museum Tabanan was inaugurated by governor of Bali on 13 October 1981, and in this place there are main museum building and the open museum building. The main museum building, consists of sacred building compound with Padmasana, Bedugul, and others, completely follows the Balinese concepts spatial layout, and three mandala concepts (Outer, Middle, and Inner yard), Building for the information center and exhibition hall. The building open museum , is manifested as a Mini Subak, that used as Subak demonstration activities, ranging from irrigation system and farmers activities on the ricefields.
The Subak museum is open every Monday until Saturday from 8:00am until 16:30pm, and Friday from 8:00am to 13:00pm, while on Sunday and Official holiday closed. In accordance with its history and inscription found, it can be concluded that agriculture and rice farming system already exist regularly in Bali in the year 882 AD, and according the inscription of Sukawana (882 AD) says word of "Huma" means ricefields and "Perlak" means moor fields. The existence of traditional Subak organization very unique, in 1990 John S.Ambler the international researcher has explained that Subak water irrigation looks simple but essentially this Subak organization is the advanced technology about the water irrigation for the agriculture in Bali. Based on the survey of Subak in Bali at the end of 1999, there were 1506 with total area 97.337 Hectares.

All quotes tagged Christian
(1123 quotes found)
"The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma."
"Either Christianity is true or it's false. If you bet that it's true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you've gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it's false, you've lost nothing, but you've had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it's false, you've lost nothing. But if you bet that it's false, and it turns out to be true, you've lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell."
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried."
"The Gateway to Christianity is not through an intricate labyrinth of dogma, but by a simple belief in the person of Christ."
"And what does the lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8)."
"If you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?"
"Mahomet established a religion by putting his enemies to death; Jesus Christ by commanding his followers to lay down their lives"

Fabulosity, Law Professors, Law Schools, Lawyerly Lairs, Money, Real Estate
In these dire times, academia is regarded as a refuge. Sure, endowments are down, some schools have imposed hiring freezes, and budgets are being trimmed here and there. But the academy, especially the legal academy, hasn't seen anything like the carnage experienced by Biglaw.
Take the ivory tower of Columbia Law School, which apparently remains an impregnable fortress against the recession. Despite a few budget cuts at the university, the law school still provides professors with delicious digs. From the Sunday New York Times:
Many buyers say that jumbo mortgages are hard to come by these days. But don't tell that to Edward R. Morrison, a law professor and economist at Columbia University, who is something of an expert on these troubled times.
Last month Mr. Morrison and his wife, Anne, bought a restored two-family town house at 357 West 121 Street in Harlem for $2.575 million. Brokers said it was a record price for a town house in the neighborhood — just down the hill from the Columbia campus in Morningside Heights, near Morningside Park — and one of the top 10 town house sales in Harlem in recent years.
As we've told you before, to the Elect go all the spoils. (Ed Morrison clerked for Justice Antonin Scalia.)
Now, a $2.6 million townhouse is pretty sweet — but it's not the nicest piece of real estate owned by a CLS faculty member. That title surely belongs to Hans Smit's $29 million mansion.
(Actually, make that $30 million, the price reflected in the current version of the listing. What recession?)
More details about the Morrison manse, plus a picture of the super-cute professor, after the jump.
To purchase a $2.6 million property, even with financing help from the university, Professor Morrison must be making a killing. And so is the seller of the property:
The two-family town house bought by the Morrisons was restored over a decade by the prior owner, Peter Marciano, a contractor, who stripped many layers of paint from the woodwork and created a rooftop garden. Mr. Marciano paid $150,000 for the house in 1997, just as new buyers were rediscovering Harlem, and brokers said that after all that hands-on work, he had a hard time deciding to sell it, repeatedly changing his mind.
Meanwhile the Morrisons, with three children and a dog, were outgrowing their apartment in university-owned housing on Morningside Drive and 115th Street. Mr. Morrison, an expert on bankruptcy court and credit markets, recently testified before the House of Representatives on proposed mortgage foreclosure legislation.
Professor Morrison has some experience with questionable lenders:
Property records show that the Morrisons had some help financing the purchase. They obtained a $1 million first mortgage from Countrywide Bank, now a subsidiary of Bank of America, and a second mortgage directly from Columbia University for $1,039,000.
Ah yes, that Countrywide. Perhaps Professor Morrison borrowed from Countrywide for research purposes, to get firsthand exposure to its lending practices?
Of course, Edward Morrison isn't the typical, beleaguered Countrywide borrower. The Times article explains that "[t]he first mortgage was provided by Countrywide through another university program that provides mortgages at 'favorable rates' to some faculty members." Does that make Professor Morrison a "friend of Angelo"?
Mr. Morrison is a practitioner of empirical legal studies, analyzing the impact of the law on people and institutions. In 2007, another Columbia law professor specializing in empirical techniques, Catherine M. Sharkey, was recruited by the law school of New York University, whose foundation provided $4.2 million toward the purchase of an apartment for her use on Central Park West and West 106th.
ATL covered Cathy Sharkey's luscious lair back in this post.
Congratulations to the Morrison family on their fabulous new home!

Patient wins suit v. doctor
Jury finds neurosurgeon was negligent
A seven-woman, five-man jury found a Wichita Falls doctor was negligent when he left an almost 6-inch wire that was part of a spinal cord stimulator in a former patient's back after removing the device.
Both sides presented closing arguments Wednesday in 89th District Court in the civil trial of Dr. Sanjoy Sundaresan. The jury deliberated just over three hours Wednesday.
The jury was asked to answer three questions. The first question asked jurors if the negligence of Sundaresan caused the injuries in question. Jurors unanimously agreed yes to this question.
A split 10-to-2 decision decided to award plaintiff Grace Taylor $50,000 in pain and suffering and mental anguish damages.
The final question asked about medical bills, and the jury unanimously agreed Sundaresan should pay the entire $1,312 to Taylor for her medical bill for the removal of the wire left in her back.
Taylor, a former patient of Sundaresan, sued him for medical costs, pain and suffering, and mental anguish.
Taylor's attorney, Christina Davis, argued that after Taylor's first post-op visit, she told Sundaresan's office she was experiencing stabbing, burning pain from the spinal cord stimulator Sundaresan implanted on her spine.
After a year of having the stimulator, having it
replaced and still experiencing problems, Taylor asked Sundaresan to remove the device.
Upon her request, the device was removed because it was causing Taylor pain and discomfort. Sundaresan left a wire approximately 6 inches long in Taylor's back. She claims the wire caused her severe pain.
Davis said in her closing arguments that expert witness Dr. Kenneth Oswalt testified that Sundaresan should have used a fluoroscopy, a type of X-ray device, to make sure all of the stimulator was removed at the time of surgery.
Defense attorney for Sundaresan, Susan Cooley, argued in her closing statements that they never disputed Taylor's pain or the fact that Sundaresan left a portion of wire with a metal lead attached in Taylor's back, but that Sundaresan never breached the standard of care.
Cooley said the wire, although Taylor may have wanted it removed, caused no harm to her.
An expert witness for the defense, Dr. Diana Wilson, who also was paid to testify, said fluoroscopy must be limited because it exposes everyone in the room to radiation. Wilson said fluoroscopy is generally used during insertion of the devices to make sure the stimulator is inserted in the epidural space of the spine, allowing the device to work properly.
Davis asked the jury to find that Sundaresan pay just over $1,000 in medical bills for a second operation Taylor had to endure to remove the remaining wire and $250,000 for mental anguish and pain and suffering.
Cooley told the jury the plaintiff has to prove her case; Sundaresan doesn't have to prove anything. Sundaresan is Texas board certified, and has been working as a neurosurgeon for 16 years, Cooley said.
He did not breach the standard of care just because the wire was left in Taylor, and an X-ray was not necessary because the device was removed smoothly, she said. In this instance, Cooley said, an X-ray is not standard practice, and according to Sundaresan's operative report, all of the wire was removed.

St Mary's Cathedral stands in the centre of Sydney as a Christian statement of grace and beauty. Generations of artists have bequeathed to it their magnificent gifts in stone and glass, designing a unique space of solace and prayer within this vibrant city. This Cathedral represents the spiritual origins of the Catholic Church in Australia. It is one of Sydney's most treasured historic buildings and one of the finest examples of English-style gothic churches in the world. William Wilkinson Wardell, the 19th century architect, dreamed of a gothic structure shaped from the local yellow-block sandstone on which this city is built. The building was finally completed 100 years after the architect's death. The Cathedral is dedicated to Mary Help of Christians.
Mary, the mother of Jesus, invites all who enter this sanctuary to appreciate their own fundamental worth and destiny. We are brothers and sisters beyond all distinctions of race, religion, nationality or economic class. Here we encounter the gracious mystery within whose presence we journey through
Harbour Rocks Hotel is one of the best Sydney Rocks accommodation offering some wonderful Sydney accommodation packages. Whether you are looking for weekend getaways, Sydney conference venues or one of the best Sydney Harbour restaurants around, come and visit this very unique, boutique Sydney hotel accommodation.

Hi from England! :D

Hi :-)
I've just found this forum and love reading about everyones horses from all over the world, its really interesting! So I thought I'd join up and get involved.
I ride an 8 year old 16.2 mare called Misty (hence the name:lol:), she's lovely mostly but can be a bit of a typical chestnut mare at times!

Range Fixes: Interactive Error Resolution for Software Configuration
By Yingfei Xiong, Hansheng Zhang, Arnaud Hubaux, Steven She, Jie Wang, and Krzysztof Czarnecki
To prevent ill-formed configurations, highly configurable software often allows defining constraints over the available options. As these constraints can be complex, fixing a configuration that violates one or more constraints can be challenging. Although several fix-generation approaches exist, their applicability is limited because (1) they typically generate only one fix or a very long fix list, difficult for the user to identify the desirable fix; and (2) they do not fully support non-Boolean constraints, which contain arithmetic, inequality, and string operators. This paper proposes a novel concept, range fix, for software configuration. A range fix specifies the options to change and the ranges of values for these options. We also design an algorithm that automatically generates range fixes for a violated constraint. We have evaluated our approach with three different strategies for handling constraint interactions, on data from nine open source projects over two configuration platforms. The evaluation shows that our notion of range fix leads to mostly simple yet complete sets of fixes, and our algorithm is able to generate fixes within one second for configuration systems with a few thousands options and constraints.

13 in hall
Okay I know it's a long time ago but the ultimate snub was not Votto or even Boog Powel. Over at Mlb.fanhouse.com hope I linked it right? They have a small piece on it. Back in 1935 Hank Greenberg Hall of Famer by the way was hitting .317 25 Homers and 103 rbi at the All Star break and was left off the team. Who got the nods? Two guys one named Gherig hitting .320 11 homers 50 rbi and Jimmi Foxx .313 13 homers and 50 rbi. Greenburg had more homers than the other two combined and rbi to boot and still no go. All three are Hall of famers. What an Era for baseball!

Product description
Self-satisfied, delighting in the many fascinating quirks of his own personality, Hermann Hermann is perhaps not to be taken too seriously. But then a chance meeting with a man he believes to be his double reveals a frightening 'split' in Hermann's nature. With shattering immediacy, Nabokov takes us into a deranged world, one full of an impudent, startling humour, dominated by the egotistical and scornful figure of a murderer who thinks himself an artist.

Author information
Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) was one of the great writers of the twentieth century, as well as a translator and lepidopterist. His works include, from the Russian novels, The Luzhin Defense and The Gift; from the English novels, Lolita, Pnin, Pale Fire and Ada; the autobiographical Speak, Memory; translations of Alice in Wonderland into Russian and Eugene Onegin into English; and lectures on literature. All of the fiction and Speak, Memory are published in Penguin.
Editorial reviews
Despair is one of Nabokov's Russian language novels now appearing here thirty years after At was written in the Germany of the '30's - of which The Gift has been isolated by many critics as the connoisseur's choice. This perhaps as a story per se will make a stronger appeal to the general reader, even though it lacks the brilliant imaginative effects of which Nabokov is capable, or even the architectural perfection of The Defense. It's the story of a man who plans and executes his own murder - and once again obsession is as engrained here as it is in many of his stronger books. Hermann is, when first self-introduced, an inspired liar, aimless to begin with, addictive as he proceeds. He is also a dilettante perfectionist with pretensions of genius which he will achieve through his crime or perhaps its account thereof, this story. In "silly" stage asides, droll fatuities, wordplay, he records his meeting with the man who As his exact likeness and whom he eventually will kill. He gets rid of the artist, his "bird-witted" wife Lydia's housepet, persuades Lydia and then the victim to go along with him. The despair - that is the supreme irony. But before the story ends on that note, there have been a great many sardonic subtleties along with the interior echoes, vagaries, illusions of a mind precariously poised between reality and disassociation. Occasionally there is a matchless line - "A cloud every now and then palmed the sun which reappeared like a conjurer's coin." But on the whole, the tone As more playful than any of Nabokov's books, classing it as an entertainment. Nonetheless, Nabokov is one of the incomparable storytellers and stylists of our time who may outlive it. (Kirkus Reviews)

The new Hitman was announced at Sony's E3 press conference.
Every Monday, keen screen-grabber Ben Griffin brings you a sumptuous 4K resolution gallery to celebrate PC gaming's prettiest places.
We were disappointed by several aspects of Hitman Absolution, but the visuals weren't one of them. The Glacier engine could render dank apartments with obsessive detail and handle crowds of hundreds in outdoor environments. The colour palette and environments
The silent assassin Agent 47 completed his most stealthy operation to date, launching Hitman Contracts on Steam for $7 without making a single peep, literally. As the first batch of Steam reviews indicated, the game initially launched without any of the soundtrack and voice work.
The next Hitman game was cancelled. Then it was uncancelled. Now it's being talked about in an open letter on the Hitman website. "Dear Miley," it reads. No, wait, that was the other one. "Dear Hitman fans," it begins, before outlining, in some detail, what Io's next sharply dressed bald assassin simulator will entail.
One of the best things about PC gaming is its adaptability.
All is not well with agent 47, the eerily hairless protagonist of the Hitman series. The LinkedIn profile of senior game designer Richard Knight indicates that the next-gen installment in the series he was working on at Square Enix Montreal was recently canceled.
Dark clouds may have formed over Square Enix's financial future months ago, but that doesn't make the storm of layoffs at IO Interactive any less surprising or disheartening.
It all started in Hong Kong twelve years ago with the first Hitman game. You're given a target, a pistol and a disassembled sniper rifle. And something is odd.
The next installment in the Hitman series is being developed by a new studio at Square Enix Montreal. It's a trade-off that Absolution director Tore Blystad likens to the one between Call of Duty's major studios. "It's like with Treyarch and Infinity Ward," Blystad told OPM. "You have an IP that has been developed. They will feed off each other, as well as somethings that stand out. I think with
If you're ever sad about how many games these days are sequels, go back and play Hitman: Blood Money again. The assassin-sim series struggled for three games to understand its own strengths, and Blood Money found them all.
Almost every mission was an absurdly rich playground of deadly possibilities. You were usually free to roam them undisguised, watching patrol routes, tracking targets,
OK, so we're a bit late with this one - but then I was crouched behind a bin waiting for the perfect moment to knock out a PCG writer so I could use his uniform to gain access to the building. Now, dressed in an old pair of jeans and an XL Bus Simulator T-shirt, I'm finally ready to post about Hitman: Absolution and its latest trailer, which shows off the game's "living, breathing world".
Selecting a soundtrack for life isn't easy. You need music for riding the bus, shopping for groceries, or sitting around listening to other music. Hitman: Absolution's Agent 47 lives a life of luxury in that regard, as his handlers over at IO Interactive already selected numerous moody pieces and Inception horn-blasts to accompany him as he jay-walks away from explosions or descends a single
Hitman Absolution is a tease. Its first level guides the player through a well-defended compound toward Agent 47's assigned target, his ex-handler Diana. I snuck past guards, bundled others into convenient bins after applying pressure to their unsuspecting throats. I edged along ledges over jagged cliffs. I hid when I was meant to hide, moved when I was meant to move. And then, as I opened the
Is that a bird? A scarecrow? A chipmunk? No, it's Agent 47 dressed as a bird, a scarecrow, or a chipmunk - obviously. The bald-headed assassin has long had a thing for disguises, but it appears Hitman: Absolution will take that fetish to a nun-like extreme. IO's latest trailer showcases 47's newest wardrobe, which, in addition to the usual terrorist, security and cop uniforms, contains more than
The best virtual worlds to get lost in.
Hitman: Absolution's contracts mode will let you craft new assassination missions using single player settings. Any NPC can be elected as a target. Once you've laid out a challenge, you can share it online and challenge Agents all over the world to do it in the fastest time they can.
IO Interactive have released an 18 minute walkthrough video to show exactly how it'll all work, which also
Does anyone use the assault rifles in Hitman? IO Interactive always given players the tools to turn a stealth mission into an action movie. If only there was some way to turn the action movie into a stealth mission, but the dreadful film is out there now and we're just going to have to come to terms with that.
The latest Hitman Absolution trailer concentrates on the many murder implements that

If your circumstance has you preferring the former models - great! I'm very comfortable with the reality that 90% of my miles will be on the pavement (perhaps more than that) and consequently I like the direction the GS has taken. I'm not claiming it's better that prior models, just more suitable for me and I suspect I'm pretty typical of most GS owners. By the way, I find myself disconnecting the front sway bar and engaging the lockers on my Jeep Rubicon far less often than I envisioned when I order it last year - I'm sure my GS experience will be similar.

Drugs tied to U.S. 59 frontage road crash that killed 2
By Dale Lezon | October 15, 2012 | Updated: October 15, 2012 11:34am
Photo By .
Houston police say the driver of a black Impala was under the influence of PCP when he slammed into a blue Impala leaving a gas station, killing the man and woman inside, about 12:20 a.m. Monday on the U.S. 59 service road near Kirby.
Police have identified a driver who was allegedly under the influence of PCP when he slammed into another car, leaving a man and woman dead in a traffic wreck early Monday morning along the U.S. 59 service road in southwest Houston.
Theodore Adolphus Hargrove, 33, is charged with two counts of intoxication manslaughter in connection with the two-car crash, which happened about 12:20 a.m. at 2525 Southwest Freeway on the service road near Kirby, according to the Houston Police Department.
Police said Hargrove was traveling northbound on the freeway service road at a high rate of speed in a black Chevrolet Impala and ran a red light. He then veered from the road and smashed into the driver's side door of a blue Chevrolet Impala that was preparing to exit at the driveway of a gasoline station, police added.
The man and woman in the blue Impala died at the scene. Their names have not been released.
Hargrove was rushed to Ben Taub General Hospital. His condition was not released, but police said he had a broken pelvis.
Police said it was later determined that Hargrove was under the influence of PCP. He was taken into custody.

Yes No
I took this class with Barnes, but this wasn't my first course with her. She's a really incredible professor, has a lot of passion about her work and it really showed in this course, which focused on National Bodies and National Landscapes- essentially, her primary focus of study. The class was engaging, and you can't get away with not doing the readings. Often times there will be in-class responses, group discussions in which participation is mandatory, and expected participation during lectures. There is no discussion section because the class is small enough to the point where each lecture is essentially a discussion section. There is not a lot of 'lecturing', which is why reading the course material is crucial. Overall, this is a really amazing class, I suggest all GWS students take a class with Barnes at some point.

Tufts Remains No. 1 in NFCA Division III Top 25 Poll
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Defending national champion Tufts University continues to be the unanimous selection as the top-ranked team in the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division III softball rankings.
The Jumbos, who went 46-3 last season en route to the program's first national title, return three of the four players selected to the NCAA Division III World Series All-Tournament Team, including pitcher Allyson Fournier, the tournament's Most Outstanding Player, catcher Jo Clair and outfielder Michelle Cooprider. They open the season on March 15 with games against Ramapo and Southern Maine.
Montclair State, meanwhile, continues as the No. 2-ranked team, after a year in which it went 46-5 and advanced to the NCAA World Series. The Red Hawks start their campaign on Sunday with games against Illinois Wesleyan and Mitchell College.
Third-ranked Salisbury (4-0), which was idle last week, maintained its place in the poll. The Sea Gulls resume their season with an 1 p.m. home game Friday against Randolph-Macon (5-1), which received five votes in this week's poll.
Cortland was joined in the No. 4 spot this week by Central (Iowa) College. Cortland opens March 9 with games against Waynesburg and Marietta, after a 35-17 season in which it was the 2013 NCAA runner-up, while the Dutch get going on March 14 with games against Dickinson and Baldwin-Wallace.
East Texas Baptist (10-0), the 2010 national champion, moved up two spots to sixth, following a three-game American Southwest Conference sweep of Howard Payne, while Luther (4-0) got off to a good start to remain seventh, and No. 8 Virginia Wesleyan (10-0) continued its climb up the rankings.
Elsewhere, Texas-Tyler (11-1) lost its first game of the season last week to drop into a tie with unbeaten Emory (16-0) for ninth, rounding out the top 10 teams.
Coe (2-0) made the week's biggest move — 10 places to No. 11 — while Kean's 4-0 start vaulted the Cougars into the top 25 for the first time this season. But Trine's split of its first two games dropped the Thunder six places to No. 16.
Cal Lutheran (8-0) and Washington (Md.) College (4-0) picked up their first poll votes, while Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (2-5) dropped out of the rankings.
The NFCA Division III Top 25 Poll is selected by eight NCAA Division III head coaches representing the eight NCAA regions. Records as of Monday are listed, with first-place votes in parentheses.

I was curious about the performance of insert-sort using C and python but the results I've got just make me think if I've done something wrong. I suspected that C would be faster, but not that much.
I've profiled both codes and the insert-sort function is the place where the time is most spent.
Here is the C function:
insert_sort (vec_t * vec)
int j;
for (j = 1 ; j < vec->n ; j++){
int key = vec->v[j];
int i = j - 1;
while (i >= 0 && vec->v[i] > key){
vec->v[i+1] = vec->v[i];
vec->v[i+1] = key;
Here is the python function:
def insert_sort (ln):
for j in range(1, len(ln)):
key = ln[j]
i = j-1
while i >= 0 and ln[i] > key:
ln[i+1] = ln[i]
ln[i+1] = key
The test was made with 10000 integers, each one randomly generated between 0 and 10000.
The results for the time spent in each function was:
- C time: 0.13 seconds
- python time: 8.104 seconds
Am I doing something wrong here? Like I said, I expected to see the C code being faster, but not that faster.
I don't want to use built-in functions or whatsoever. I would like to implement the algorithm. Is there a pythonic way to doing things that I could use in the insert-sort?

YIELD: Makes 8 kebabs, serving 6 to 8
To make the kebabs:
Let the skewers soak in water to cover for 1 hour. Toast the chili on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 250°F. oven for 5 minutes and transfer to a heatproof bowl. Pour enough boiling water over the chili to cover, let the mixture stand for 30 minutes, and drain the chili. In a blender blend together the chili, the 1 cup water, the garlic, the onion, the cumin, the thyme, the orégano, the salt, the peppercorns, the oil, and the lemon juice until the marinade is smooth.
In a large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag combine the pork and the marinade and let the pork marinate, chilled, for at least 6 hours overnight.
Drain the pork, pat it dry lightly, and thread each skewer loosely with 3 pieces of the pork, 3 chunks of the pineapple, and 3 chunks of the red onion. Grill or broil the kebabs on an oiled rack set about 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until the pork is cooked through but still slightly pink. Serve the kebabs with the manchamantel sauce.
To make the sauce:
Toast the chilies on a baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 250°F. oven for 5 minutes and transfer them to a heatproof bowl. Pour enough boiling water over the chilies to cover, let the mixture stand for 30 minutes, and drain the chilies. In a heavy skillet cook the garlic, the onion, and salt and pepper to taste in 2 tablespoons of the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is soft and pale golden, add 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the vinegar, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Transfer the onion mixture to a blender, add the chilies, the broth, the 1/2 cup water, the pineapple, the banana, the cinnamon, the cloves, the additional sugar and vinegar if desired, and salt and pepper to taste, and blend the sauce until it is very smooth. In the skillet heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, add the sauce, and simmer it, stirring, for 5 minutes. Makes about 3 cups.

It won't shock you to learn that I love art (movies, music, and visual art). I hope to meet a woman who shares some of these interests. Joking around is part of who I am; I can also be very sarcastic.
Intelligence and creativity are very attractive to me. Of course, the first attraction is almost always based on looks. Lately I've been trying to get into better shape and live a healthier lifestyle. My match doesn't have to be a huge athlete or a dedicated health nut but, it would be great to meet someone with similar health and fitness goals. After all, it's much harder to eat grilled chicken and vegetables if the person you're with considers ice cream sundaes a well-balanced lunch!
Even though I perform in front of people regularly, I tend to be shy when I first meet someone new. Eventually, however, I open up; I'm quite an extrovert among my friends. I have a caring nature, which I think is one of my more redeemable traits!
Think you might want to join me for some laughs, movies, and, if all goes well, kisses? If so, let's talk.
I am smart, funny, and handsome, maybe?

|Printable auction results for all items in the 2007 January Orlando, FL (FUN) Signature Coin Auction.
The modal Uncirculated grade in the certified population for the 1931 twenty is MS64, with nearly 50 specimens having been seen. Thirty-five Gems have been graded, and nearly 15 MS66 examples. A solitary finer coin has been certified (a PCGS-graded MS67). It is instructive to note that, according to our records, 22 MS65 1931 examples have appeared in major auctions over the last 15 years, but only three MS66s and one MS67.
The 1931, according to Akers (A Handbook of 20-Century United States Gold Coins), is usually well struck, although some examples are rather flat in the stars below the Capitol building. The surfaces display excellent mint frost, and the color is usually light to medium orange or coppery-gold. Copper alloy spots are commonly seen, and some specimens display a long, vertical, slightly curved die break through the eagle's beak.
The Premium Gem in the present lot exhibits somewhat better-than-average strike, as the detail in the Capitol building and the eagle's plumage is sharp, and most of the stars along the lower obverse border are well brought up. Rich orange-gold patina intermingles with yellow-gold and tinges of mint-green, and pleasing luster emanates from satiny-like surfaces that are devoid of significant abrasions. A few minute marks beneath the ends of Liberty's flowing hair and a couple more below the olive branch may aid in this coin's pedigree. This example does not show any copper spots, or the die crack through the eagle's beak. Population: 9 in 66, 1 finer (11/06).

So I'm really on board with this new movie. I'm forgiving Clint Eastwood his formulaic ending because he's given us back a vital piece of ourselves: the knowledge of the wonders that await us beyond this life. My only objection to "Hereafter," the movie, is that it could go so much further. Maybe there will be a sequel -- one that will draw from the thousands of stories and descriptions that have come from the Other Side. Those are the stories the world is hungry to hear. For those who've experienced communications from the afterlife there's an endless fascination. Here's the secret: The Holy Grail is right under our noses after all.
