He outlived the seller.. and lived and could have worked under saddle.. until he was 38.
This horse has a good eye. Take your time. Work this horse and I beleive you will have something very very nice. Love her bone. Not every draft cross gets the bone!

THE CITY (LA CIUDAD) presents four vignettes depicting the struggles of Latin American immigrants in New York City. Beautifully shot in black and white, the separate stories - "Bricks," "Home," "The Puppeteer" and "Seamstress" - are connected by images from a studio photographer shooting portraits of the people in his community.
The portrait photographer tries to get a young boy to look up for the camera before "Home," the story of two young Mexican immigrants from the same village who fall in love in the U.S. and lose one another in the dizzying world of a housing project.
An older man enters the photographer's studio, his lip trembling as he looks at a photo of a young girl... introducing "The Puppeteer," about the travails of a homeless father and daughter as they try to enroll the girl in school.
The faces in THE CITY reflect the Spanish-speaking immigrants' diverse cultural heritage: Mexico, Central America, South America and the Carribean. Their experiences are both similar and unique: each story conveys the powerful emotions that bind us together as human beings. At the same time, the tales highlight the alienation and confusion that often accompanies the immigrant experience - newcomers in an unfamiliar land of tall buildings and complex regulations.

Re: The case for Lennox Lewis being GOAT
I understand your basic reasoning, but I think you massively, grossly underestimate and misunderstand the quality of fighters we're talking about here. Put aside your interest and love for Lewis for a second and think about him objectively. For example, do you honestly in your heart of hearts think Lennox Lewis could beat Joe Louis SEVENTY PERCENT of the time?! Seriously? That's not happening on this planet, not even close. You think Joe Frazier wouldn't even beat Lewis A SINGLE TIME?! Not even ONE TIME? C'mon. Be real. I'll give you another example: I don't like Jack Dempsey. I was never a fan of his or his fights, but you have to recognize what a nasty fighter he was. If you even have a suspect chin -- and Lewis's chin is more than suspect -- you have to give even just a couple of fights to one of the great all-time punchers.
I can appreciate fandom, but there's no reason I should abide such a silly overestimation of a very, very good heavyweight. You simply can't say he'd win "all" or "very nearly all" of Best of Ten matches with most of the people above. In reality, it's much, much closer than that. Those are some ridiculously great fighters. Also, Moore's in there because of his amazing record of knockouts. Anyone who can knock out that many people can certainly knock out a heavyweight with a questionable chin ONE time.
I stand by my comments. Lewis is one of greats of his era. Greatest of All Time? Certainly not. There's quite a line ahead of him.

Protesters stage funeral procession
BANGKOK (AP) - Anti-government protesters paraded coffins through the Thai capital Monday following a weekend of savage street fighting that left 21 killed and fears of further violence unless the activists and government reach a political compromise.
At least 874 others were injured when security forces tried to crack down Saturday on demonstrators who have been staging a month of disruptive protests in the Thai capital, seeking to have Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva dissolve Parliament and call new elections. It was the country's worst political violence in nearly two decades.
Unconfirmed reports in local newspapers said political parties in the coalition government were pressuring Abhisit to compromise with the "Red Shirt" protesters by dissolving Parliament in the next six months instead of by year's end, as he had earlier promised.
But on Sunday, protest leaders said they would not negotiate with "murderers" and instead mourned their dead from the pitched battles Saturday when army troops tried unsuccessfully to clear thousands of demonstrators from their encampment in the historic heart of Bangkok.
On Monday, protesters launched a motorized procession with 14 empty coffins that was to follow a long loop through the Thai capital. Autopsies on the corpses were to be carried out to determine how they died.
Both sides accuse each other of firing battlefield weapons during the confrontation.
Jatuporn Prompan, a leader of the "Red Shirt" protest movement - which contends the current government is illegitimate because it does not reflect the results of the last elections - said Abhisit's hands were "bloodied" by the clashes.
"Red Shirts will never negotiate with murderers," Jatuporn announced from a makeshift stage. "Although the road is rough and full of obstacles, it's our duty to honor the dead by bringing democracy to this country."
The demonstrations are part of a long-running battle between the mostly poor and rural supporters of former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and the ruling elite they say orchestrated the 2006 military coup that removed him from power amid corruption allegations.
The protesters, called Red Shirts for their garb, see the Oxford-educated Abhisit as a symbol of an elite impervious to the plight of Thailand's poor and claim he took office illegitimately in December 2008 after the military pressured Parliament to vote for him.
"The government should be more flexible in their attempt to resolve the situation. It's their duty to seek for solution that's possible and acceptable for both sides," said Nogsuan Sawasdee, a political scientist at Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University.
He predicted more violence in the next two weeks since "the standpoint of both sides is clear - that negotiation and compromise will not happen."
Other observers saw political maneuvering rather than street fighting on the horizon.
"Abhisit standing down would be a plus. He is discredited now, so he must decide how he can do something that is seen as in the national interest. An election is urgent," said Kevin Hewison, who heads the Asian Studies Department at the University of North Carolina.
"That may not solve the long-term problem of division, but it allow some breathing space. It is just possible, though, that that moment has passed," he said.
Protesters held a procession for the dead Sunday near their rally site in historic Bangkok. Marching with Buddhist monks, they held aloft several coffins and carried photos of the victims. One mother called her son "a hero" before breaking down in tears.
Earlier, protesters showed off a pile of weapons they had captured from the troops, including rifles and heavy caliber machine-gun rounds. More than half a dozen military vehicles, armored personnel carriers, Humvees and a truck were crippled by the protesters, who ripped the treads off the armored cars.
Some of the heaviest fighting occurred near the backpacker mecca of Khao San Road, where protesters came in throngs Sunday to pose for pictures on top of seized army vehicles. Others strolled around in confiscated army riot gear.
Apichart Sankary, an executive with the Federation of Thai Tourism Associations, said that if street protests continue the number of foreign visitors could drop to 14.5 million this year, against an earlier projection of 15.5 million.
Four soldiers and 17 civilians were killed, according to the government's Erawan emergency center. It said at least 874 people were injured. The deaths included Japanese cameraman Hiro Muramoto, who worked for the Thomson Reuters news agency. In a statement, Reuters said he was shot in the chest and the circumstances of his death were under review.
Associated Press writers Grant Peck, Jocelyn Gecker and Denis D. Gray contributed to this report.

April 15, 2014
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Tara Glover was named the Mountain West Player of the Week for the week of April 7-13, the conference announced Tuesday. Glover ignited the Boise State offense in a series sweep of Nevada with four hits, four stolen bases and three runs scored. It is her first weekly honor of the year and fourth of her career.
Glover supplied the only offense in the opener Friday. She led off the fourth inning with a home run to dead center field, breaking up Karlyn Jones' perfect game. It proved to be the only run of the game as the Broncos won 1-0.
The senior stayed hot Saturday, getting a base hit in each of the first three innings. Glover singled in the first inning, stole second and stole third. The throw to third got away and Glover got up and ran home to score the game's first run. She hit an RBI double in the second inning before singling up the middle in the third and stealing second. It was her third three-hit game in a five-game stretch. The three stolen bases matched a career high.
Glover and her speed got the Broncos started again Sunday. She was hit by a pitch in the top of the first inning and quickly stole second. She moved to third on a bunt and scored on a ground ball to first base. Glover came to the plate again in the first inning and drew a walk as the Broncos scored six runs in the frame before cruising to the win.
Glover, who transferred to Boise State before her sophomore season in 2012, now has 201 hits in her Bronco career, the first player in Boise State history to crack the 200-hit plateau. She has 256 hits in her collegiate career, nine shy of the all-time Mountain West record.
With her run in the first game Glover broke the Boise State career record with 119 runs scored. She now has 121 as a Bronco and 165 in her collegiate career, No. 5 in Mountain West history. The center fielder's four steals on the weekend extended her Boise State career record to 71. In her collegiate career, Glover has 87 steals, No. 3 in Mountain West history and four shy of second place.
This is Boise State's second MW Player of the Week award of the season. Ashley Palmer earned the distinction after helping the Broncos to a series win against Fresno State during the first weekend of MW play. Glover was named MW Player of the Week three times in 2012.

It's 1960, and new research suggests that smoking is dangerous. Richard Nixon is running for president, and the best minds at Sterling Cooper ad agency struggle to sell Lucky Strikes.
"Advertising is based on one thing, happiness," says Don Draper, the brilliant, enigmatic, booze-swilling creative director in AMC's wildly successful "Mad Men" series.
Tobacco may be poisonous, but Draper suggests these cigarettes are "toasted."
In reality, Lucky Strikes launched that slogan in 1917 to tout its unique drying method.
"They play fast and loose with some things," said Robert Thompson, director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television, Radio and Film at Syracuse University. "But who cares?"
"It's exquisitely written and acted, and just so beautiful to look at," said Thompson. "Every square inch of it has been thought over and lovingly caressed before the cameras."
The episode "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" takes only one of a handful of liberties in the otherwise historically accurate television series created by Matt Weiner, who was one of the writers on "The Sopranos."
Known for his attention to detail, Weiner changed a script that called for Don Draper, played by Jon Hamm, and art director Sal Romano, played by Bryan Batt, to fly to Baltimore on Eastern Airlines after it was discovered the now-defunct airline didn't fly that route.
Now in its third season, "Mad Men" is reeling toward the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy and the symbolic end of innocence before the social and political upheaval that's come to emblematize the latter part of the decade.
"It looks like the world we live in, but it is so vastly different," said Thompson. "We forget what a couple of generations can do when it encompasses the '60s and '70s -- the way women are treated in the office, the machismo, the smoking and drinking. It's the last big generation that is unenlightened by what came to be called political correctness."
The show is a nostalgic touchstone for the buttoned-up executives who caroused their way through the workday and their dutiful stay-at-home wives.
But it also resonates with their children -- the Sallys and Bobbys -- the baby boomers -- who transformed the times.
Creator Matt Weiner told Boston's WBUR that each season has a theme: "To me, this one is about chaos."
"It's about how people respond to change," he said. "And we're in a period of great change in 1963, and right now. And I wanted to sort of show that the culture is in a reaction, where some people are just digging in so deep and they're so terrified. And some people are saying, 'Here it comes. Let me have it.'
"Mad Men" also speaks to a younger generation, who see today's world spinning toward a new kind of chaos: sexual identity politics, escalating wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, threats against a young, new president.
"One day you're on top of the world, and the next day you're run over by a tractor," says Joan, Sterling Cooper's voluptuous head of the secretarial pool, in the recent episode "Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency."
After all, January Jones, who plays the stoic trophy wife Betty Draper, who is burdened with her husband's infidelities and a newborn, is only 31 herself.
"I'm not at all like Betty, and I don't have any role models that I can draw from," Jones told ABCNews.com. "I get most of my inspiration from the writing.

Iowa State coach reflects on playing UK 20 years ago
Murray's Prohm invites Obama to game
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Twenty years ago, Kentucky and Iowa State played in a 204-point game in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
Then freshman Fred Hoiberg scored two of Iowa State's 98 points. Now, in his second year as the Cyclones head coach, the man long known as "The Mayor" will lead his team to its first meeting with Kentucky since that 1992 encounter.
"I remember Johnny Orr yelling at Rick Pitino to get back in the coaches box the entire game. It was one of the most exciting games I've ever been a part of," said Hoiberg, who was the Big Eight freshman of the year that season. "It was the only game in my college career that I fouled out of."
Kentucky won the second-round game in Worcester, Mass., 106-98 to advance to the East Region where the Wildcats beat the John Calipari-coached UMass team before the game Kentucky fans want to forget.
First Dick Vitale. Next, maybe President Barack Obama.
Murray State coach Steve Prohm was asked which was bigger to elevate a mid-major program, having Dick Vitale come to a game like he did to the Racers' regular-season contest with Saint Mary's or having the President in attendance like at the Western Kentucky-Mississippi Valley State NCAA tournament game in Dayton, Ohio.
"We're trying to get both next. I don't know how to get a hold of President Obama. I know how to get a hold of Dick Vitale. That's the only difference," Prohm said. "I'd just say I'd love to have them both there next year. I'm inviting (Obama) right now to our opening game next year."
Guard Donte Poole will play today for Murray State despite having his nose broken after being elbowed by Colorado State's Wes Eikmeier.
"It's fine. It's a little sore, a little congested. But I can still play," said Poole, who probably won't wear a mask for today's game. "That was brought up, but I don't think I will. Just having on the mask on will be too uncomfortable so I'll probably just go without it."
The hair of Murray State's Ed Daniel was again a subject of Friday's news conferences when the players were asked if they followed Daniel's hair on Twitter.
"Well, I really don't follow him on Twitter because that's my teammate so I follow him everywhere," Ivan Aska said. "He's just a fanatic with his hair. He's always got to have his hair right, pick it up. He usually don't like us touching it. So if you ask him to touch it, he's going to say yes. But he's not going to let you play around with it for too long."
Calipari and Prohm bumped into each other between practice sessions Friday at the KFC Yum Center. "He's a good guy. I like the fact that (former coach Billy Kennedy) comes back and he treats him with great respect and lets him speak to the team. Now think about that," Calipari said. "It shows me a lot about Steve. He make it about his players. It's not about him. That's why they're playing so well."
Friday was a good day for former Murray State coaches too. First-year North Carolina State coach Mark Gottfried's team upset San Diego State 79-65 and Mick Cronin's Cincinnati crew beat Texas 65-59.
There are two names that immediately jump off Colorado State's roster, Greg and Dwight Smith. They are brothers from Omaha, Neb., and share the same names with the former WKU stars of the late 60s who hailed from Princeton.
Danny Mattie, Colorado State's assistant sports information director, said there is no connection between the Smiths other than being college basketball playing brothers with the same names separated by 40-something years.
It's even more ironic that the younger Smiths would play at the same site as Western Kentucky.

In this study, we quantified age-related changes in the time-course of face processing by means of an innovative single-trial ERP approach. Unlike analyses used in previous studies, our approach does not rely on peak measurements and can provide a more sensitive measure of processing delays. Young and old adults (mean ages 22 and 70 years) performed a non-speeded discrimination task between two faces. The phase spectrum of these faces was manipulated parametrically to create pictures that ranged between pure noise (0% phase information) and the undistorted signal (100% phase information), with five intermediate steps.
Behavioural 75% correct thresholds were on average lower, and maximum accuracy was higher, in younger than older observers. ERPs from each subject were entered into a single-trial general linear regression model to identify variations in neural activity statistically associated with changes in image structure. The earliest age-related ERP differences occurred in the time window of the N170. Older observers had a significantly stronger N170 in response to noise, but this age difference decreased with increasing phase information. Overall, manipulating image phase information had a greater effect on ERPs from younger observers, which was quantified using a hierarchical modelling approach. Importantly, visual activity was modulated by the same stimulus parameters in younger and older subjects. The fit of the model, indexed by R2, was computed at multiple post-stimulus time points. The time-course of the R2 function showed a significantly slower processing in older observers starting around 120 ms after stimulus onset. This age-related delay increased over time to reach a maximum around 190 ms, at which latency younger observers had around 50 ms time lead over older observers.
Using a component-free ERP analysis that provides a precise timing of the visual system sensitivity to image structure, the current study demonstrates that older observers accumulate face information more slowly than younger subjects. Additionally, the N170 appears to be less face-sensitive in older observers.

Alleged N44m bribe: Oteh, Hembe, others face EFCC today
TWO dramatis personae in the alleged N44 million scam rocking the House of Representatives - Herman Hembe and Ms Aruma Oteh - are to appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) today.
All documents and vouchers involved in the controversial transaction, have been retrieved from the SEC by the Commission.
The agency urged the Clerk to the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa, to release Hembe, his erstwhile deputy, Chris Azubogu for interrogation over the purported trip to Dominican Republic.
Azubogu, it was learnt, also partook in the funds allegedly provided by the SEC for the ill-fated trip.
The EFCC has had a preliminary interaction with the SEC director-general.
EFCC chairman Ibrahim Lamorde had on Tuesday raised a panel to look into the alleged bribery scam.
A source told The Nation yesterday: "The EFCC team has gone to SEC to collect all documents, memos and vouchers related to the money in question.
"Our team was in SEC on Tuesday and Wednesday to conduct the search for these documents. Initially, we took Oteh's statement, based on her allegations. But after fresh documents were released by both parties, we may have to take more statement from the DG of SEC.
"We have written to the Clerk of the National Assembly to release Hembe and his former deputy, Chris Azubogu, for interrogation.
"The deputy will be quizzed because we have secured documents indicating that he was also financed by SEC for a capacity building training in Dominican Republic."
Herman was until March 19 the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on the Capital Market. Ms. Oteh is the Director-General of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC).
They, alongside some members of the committee, have been invited by the anti-graft agency for questioning.
The lower chamber of the National Assembly warned yesterday the SEC management to stop further public comments on the on-going investigation into the bribery allegations between House Committee on Capital Market and the SEC.
It also promised that the proceedings of the investigations by the new ad-hoc Committee for the continuation of investigation into the capital market crisis as well as the Ethics and Privileges Committee into the allegations of graft would be aired live.
Briefing reporters yesterday, the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Zakari Mohammed, said: "I don't think it is right for the SEC's spokesman to continue to make comments on the matter because investigative bodies have been constituted to get to the root of the allegations.
"Also, the EFCC is involved and when comments like this continue to make the rounds, it can affect the course of the investigation. Those comments can confuse the probe panels. Remember the House Committee on Ethics and Privileges is also probing the affected committee. So, making comments on the on-going investigation should stop henceforth.
"It is necessary that all parties involved in the matter to give the committee the benefit of doubts and wait for its report. The committee has 21 days to work on the matter and I can assure you that there will be fair hearing for all the parties involved as Herman Hembe has kept silent, waiting for the outcome of the panel's report.
"Anything said by the parties involved will go a long way in distorting what is on ground because it is just like a matter in the court. You know that with this issue on ground, the integrity of the House of Representatives has been called to question.
"We just want to implore those on the other side; I mean the spokesman of been SEC should be asked to ceasefire. If the probe panels have empowered to investigate, I don't think it right if he continues to talk while the panels are working".
Mohammed who allayed fears over the involvement of the EFCC and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission and other Related Offences (ICPC), said the two anti-graft bodies required no formal invitation to investigate corruption.
Regretting the effect of the bribery allegation on the integrity of the House, Mohammed, however, assured that the Samson Osagie-led House Committee on Ethics and Privileges would not deprive Nigerians of the proceeding of the hearing as it would be beamed live in the interest of the country.

Hi all.
My eye fell on this filly. Original I was looking for an Appaloosa but this filly has had months of solid training from an American Lady here in South Africa. Her dam is an chilled OTTB / broodmare. Her sir is Storm Runner, imported from the US and son of Argentarius (sir: Dreamfinder).
I'm looking for a sound, atletic horse to enjoy (no competitions) doing a mix of different disciplines but nothing in particular.

The day started off like it often does here in Hilo, wet. The above picture is what the weather looked like just before I took my first run on the track.
Having never done auto racing before, I was a little nervous and didn't quite know what to expect. My first lap was spent between figuring out where I was supposed to be going and sliding around the course. After a very full weekend and around 100 laps later, I can say that this is one of the funnest and most useful things I have ever done.
Obviously, the focus of the school is to make you faster, and without a doubt I am certainly a much faster driver on the track. More importantly, I am also a much better driver on the road. A wet track and very worn tires meant that I had the chance to control the car past the limit. We all learn the basic principles, but it is so counter intuitive that you probably won't make the right choice when it comes to it. I had the chance to control understeer (car doesn't turn), oversteer (car turns too much) and lost traction again and again.
Autocross should be required for anyone who is getting their license. I really think it makes you a better driver.
After a couple of runs by myself I started to get the hang of it. After a couple of runs with the instructor, my times started getting better as well. And after a several runs, I realized that my temperature gauge was running hot. Apparently, one of my fans had stopped working. Leaving the heater on while I was racing took care of the problem, but it wasn't the most comfortable fix. You'll notice that my hood is up to help cooling.
Below is the full lineup of the cars that attended. The other Miata is just barely in the picture. All together there were six cars: my Miata, a Mazdaspeed Miata, a 350Z, a Lotus Elise, a BMW M3, and a Porsche Cayman (two drivers were sharing this car).
My car on the course later on in the day after the track had dried out.
We spent most of our time on the track getting instruction while driving or while in the passenger seat. I thought this was the really great part of the class. I got to spend so much time behind the wheel. We did have intermittent breaks to discuss what we had learned.
At the end of the day, I was exhausted and my car was dirty, but I couldn't wait to come back for more the next day.
Part 2 coming soon! I also took video and am working on editing it all together.

Food education for the next generation.
Farm Life Experience
GeerCrest Farm holds a place in this world for an experience which is vanishing; it holds an unspoken reverence and appreciation for nature and life, and it allows the developing child to connect with that in a very deep and personal way."
-Nina Churchill Portland Waldorf School Teacher
We are ready to launch our official Farm Life Experience program at GeerCrest Farm- with your help! Students of the program will learn from and contribute to every aspect of the farm: a full vegetable CSA; meat, egg, and dairy production; management of the woods, pastures, and streams; and the management of a working homestead household, including food preservation and cooking; the economics of food production; and the social dynamics that sustain farming communities.
Our story
For years, the nonprofit GeerCrest Farm & Historical Society has offered educational visits to local schools and groups, led by the farmers themselves. Always operating on a shoestring budget, we were able to somehow (with lots of coffee and many, many volunteers- thank you!) pull it off every year, introducing more and more students to small scale organic food production and farm life while juggling the farm management in tandem. In the last couple of years, the demand for this kind of education on our farm has exploded, and for the first time, our farm team truly felt unable to commit to another year without having a developed, directed, and well-staffed "farm school" program, led by experienced educators and farmers. We are passionate about integrating students into every aspect of small farm life, and encouraging them to connect with the source of their food- and we want to do it well. After MUCH brainstorming, organizing, and collaborating with teachers educators, we are very proud to present the Farm Life Experience program at GeerCrest Farm!

Lance Lynn won his 10th consecutive decision, allowing one run and five hits in seven innings Wednesday to lead the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 4-2. Lynn (5-0) struck out five and walked two, improving to 10-0 in 10 starts and one relief appearance since losing to Milwaukee on Sept. 7. He became the NL's first five-game winner. It's the second straight quick start for Lynn, who was 6-0 with a 1.48 ERA through May 7 last season, then went 12-7 with a 4.46 ERA the rest of the way. Trevor Rosenthal pitched a hitless eighth, and Edward Mujica finished the six-hitter for his sixth save in six chances. Leading the NL Central at the start of May for the sixth straight year, St. Louis has won six of its last nine. Carlos Beltran hit his team-high seventh homer for the Cardinals and Matt Carpenter had three hits, including a go-ahead single in the sixth. Homer Bailey (1-3) gave up four runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings. He is 3-9 against St. Louis, including 0-5 with ...

What comparison does Scout use to describe her relationship with Aunt Alexandra in "To Kill a Mockingbird"?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Scout compares Alexandra to Mount Everest: "She was cold and there." Scout finds Alexandra to be "cold" because she rarely expresses any feeling or emotion except perhaps disapproval, which is almost always directed at Scout's clothing, or behavior, or some combination of the two. Scout finds Alexandra to be "there" because she is Atticus's sister, thus a part of the family, and an inevitable part of Scout's life.
Scout also had a unique assessment of Alexandra's general appearance, commenting that the clothes Alexandra chose "managed to suggest that Aunt Alexandra's was once an hour-glass figure. From any angle, it was formidable."

Re: Skyrim graphics
Some of you guys are missing the point. The screenshots I took are the bad parts that shouldn't be like that. A lot of the game I've seen so far does look really nice and if I didn't like the graphics overall , I wouldn't be posting nice screenshots in the screenshot thread.
The game would look much better with the deferred lighting and that's why it pretty much looks washed out and the lighting looks way too soft. it's like Crysis actually, Crysis 2's deferred lighting system looks much nicer. The game and landscapes look nice but not as nice as if they updated their engine with new tech, though deferred lighting isn't that new and shows how far Bethesda's engine is behind.
It makes me chuckle a bit when people say they don't go around looking at walls and floors for the detail. Game developers spend time on that detail, hoping you will look at it and appreciate it. It's not all about looking starry eyed at sunsets and nice skies.

News Summary: Lawmakers to rekindle mining reform
(AP) - ROYALTY REVIEW: Congressional auditors say the government reaps billions in royalties each year from fossil fuels extracted from federal lands and waters, but gets none from gold, uranium or other metals mined from those places.
PAY DIRT: Two Democratic lawmakers want to reform the General Mining Act of 1872, which exempted mining companies from paying royalties for profiting from public lands. It was intended to encourage people to settle in the West.
MINE WHINE: The mining industry, which has fought to kill similar reform bills, said it already pays billions in taxes involving mines located on state and private lands.

Comments about Vera Bradley Hipster Cross-Body Bag:
I am loving my bright colored Vera Bradley cross body purse! It was a little bigger than I thought it was going to be, but it is working out great. Love the bright colors, the many pockets to help organize things and the quality of the purse. I haven't had it long enough to have the need to wash it, but I really believe that will be another thing that I will love about my purse...when it gets dirty, I can wash it to bring it back to life!! I am very happy with my Vera Bradley purse!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Under the original agreement, the Professorship was to receive a stipend of £100 per annum, along with other payments and emoluments. The Chair was not to be held for more than five years, or at the most ten years. In 1673, a practice began of electing one of the Proctors, usually the senior, to the office; in course of time the lectures were entirely dropped; and at length the Professorship was so far forgotten, that it was never mentioned in the Oxford Calendar before the year 1831, the practice having continued, with one exception, until February 1829.
The Professorship was established on a new footing by a statute approved by the Queen in Council in 1858. As a result of statutes made by the Commissioners of 1877, the Professorship is now attached with a Fellowship with Corpus Christi College.

Great app! I've used it for years and love it!
I used this first for receipts when I needed to turn them in for work. Then I used this for scanning my paperwork for my job to send in. I love it. It's easy to use, works along side things like DropBox,---you will definitely get your money's worth!
My Go-to in the Past...
Like a few other users who saw a degradation in quality with the new UI, I'm disappointed. This was my go-to app but now the 'scans' aren't as clear, and it seems to have lost the feature where one could adjust the brightness/contrast that I often utilized in black/white mode. Or am I just not finding it in the new UI?
New UI VERY Disappointing
This was a go-to app for years. And the newly redesigned UI is going to change that. Seems like features are missing, and the background is all black so it's hard to read.
Plus all my previous files were "converted" to a new format and that changed the file date, so now the sort order is all wrong. Never, ever, change my metadata when converting to a new format.
Previously this was a five star app. Sloppy update.

Even when students can read, do they always understand? That is the concern of EDC's literacy experts, who are exploring the use of technology in boosting three key aspects of reading comprehension: identifying themes, sorting information, and connecting ideas.
A lush mangrove forest with its wealth of tropical plants, animals, and sea organisms, one of the most biodiverse wetland habitats on the planet, thrives just off the coast of Colombia. For children in a local neighborhood, the mangroves are a gateway to discovering ecology—and computer software.
The votes are in, and Jane Addams, the social reformer and Nobel Peace Prize recipient, has been selected as the "American History Idol." Inspired by the hit TV show American Idol, EDC created a curriculum unit where students write persuasive essays on key historical figures, and the class then votes on who had the greatest impact. To gather, organize, and present information for their essays, students use the software program Draft: Builder, originally developed at EDC and now published by Don Johnston, Inc.
EDC's Health and Human Development Programs (HHD) has just launched the Connecting Across Cultures Web site, which focuses on issues of immigrant and refugee populations and substance abuse.
Education Development Center (EDC) will host educators from 33 states who have cultivated youth interest in science and technology, to share their strategies after four years in a $73 million program funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Participants in the Information Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program will talk about their projects and experiences at a symposium February 6-8, along with policymakers and research and business leaders interested in boosting youth interest in science-related careers.
In Uganda, where interruptions to the power supply are frequent, Internet
access is spotty. But a low-cost, low-energy computer lab set up for training rural teachers averts these problems, which tend to damage computer equipment and make it hard to reliably access the Web.
Building on young people's natural creativity and interconnectedness, Adobe Systems Incorporated has launched a five-year, $10 million program to encourage young people to use multimedia tools, such as film, digital art, and animation, to comment on their world and take an active role in their communities.
Watch young people at home today, and you're likely to see them managing technology with an ease that can inspire awe and envy. They text and they IM; they Google and they design their own Web pages; they download music and burn CDs—all in service of their friendships, romances, interests, and hobbies. But watch young people at school, and you're more likely to find them seated at desks, listening to lectures, reading from textbooks, and penciling in little oval bubbles on standardized tests.
professional education for teachers and administrators has been a
rapidly expanding industry over the past several years. Educators and
districts across the country have been drawn to the convenience
provided by online courses and workshops. But how effective are these
courses, and what features determine the success of an online offering?
EDC's FunWorks project has teamed up with technology giant Cisco Systems, Inc., and the National Center for Women & Information Technology to increase awareness of education and career opportunities for girls and women in math, computing, and technology.
The Department of Defense Education Activity
operates 200 schools in 13 countries that enroll more
than 100,000 students—the children of military
service members and Department of Defense civilian
employees. EDC is providing online training and
materials to nearly 3,000 teachers who work in
these schools.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs), if appropriately deployed, can bring about new and innovative teaching and learning practices among educators and students. dot-EDU's E-School project in Macedonia is pioneering uses of ICT for improved teaching and learning—and is demonstrating quantifiable impact.
Teachers taking part in a new study say that today's tech-savvy students have influenced how and what is taught in the classroom. These young people have also influenced their teachers' knowledge about communications technologies.
At a time when many schools are being pushed to narrow their focus and concentrate on core academic subjects like reading and mathematics, afterschool programs are being pulled in a dozen different directions. Program directors wrestle with a range of questions as they try to meet the diverse needs of funders, parents, and the young people they serve. Should afterschool time be an extension of school, focused on tutoring and homework help? Or a break from school, focused on sports, fitness, arts, and hobbies?
EDC's Picturing Modern America Web site, a set of online activities and tools that help students learn history through primary documents, was recently honored as one of the best online resources for education in the humanities. The site includes hundreds of documents, photographs, pamphlets and films on U.S. history and culture from the Library of Congress.
EDC has been selected by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as a lead organization to implement the Assistance to Basic Education (ABE/BE) initiative, USAID's new Indefinite Quantity Contract mechanism to support quality basic education around the world.
Teachers know that useful and creative materials are available on the Web, but they often don't have the time to locate and experiment with them. To make Web resources more readily available, EDC's Judith Zorfass and her staff at the Center for Family, School, and Community have developed the Literacy Matters Web site, an online resource for middle and high school teachers, parents, and students committed to supporting adolescent literacy.
Today's students face unprecedented challenges in preparing for a more
globalized society. While many organizations have worked to define
the kinds of skills needed for the 21st century, few have undertaken
efforts to measure the application of these skills. Recognizing this, the
Partnership for 21st Century Skills commissioned a report from EDC's
Center for Children and Technology (CCT) to inform education leaders
on this crucial issue.
As fewer young people opt for careers in science, technology, engineering,
and mathematics (STEM), the National Science Foundation has funded
EDC to develop a resource designed to engage young people in career
exploration and development.
Teams of young people from around the
world gathered in San Jose, Costa Rica,
in August for the First International
Power Users of ICT (information and
communication technologies)
Symposium. The event included student
participants from Costa Rica, Latin
America, Australia, the Netherlands,
Nordic countries, and the Philippines.
Participants, who interacted virtually
with teams from Africa and Asia,
demonstrated their digital skills with
the goal of helping focus research on
pressing questions and topics.
In order to integrate more active methods into the student learning process, USAID-funded EDC has focused its work in Guinea on interactive and student-centered learning.
In conjunction with the fifth anniversary of the Digital Divide Network (DDN), EDC's Center for Media & Community has launched a new interactive Web site for activists working to bridge the digital divide. The new Digital Divide Network Web site provides a unique, free online space for technology advocates, Internet activists, educators, and policymakers to collaborate with each other.
In an effort to provide more choices and expanded educational opportunities to their clients, many community technology centers (CTCs) are turning to online learning. ACC recently spoke with two programs funded under the Department of Education CTC grant program that provide online courses as part of their program offerings. These experiences capture both the promises and pitfalls of online learning and show its potential to complement the great work CTCs across the country are already doing.
By 2015 and in accordance with Education for All (EFA), the Government of Honduras seeks to have 50 percent of its pre-school age population in school. Currently, less than a third of preschool age children are able to attend pre-primary institutions, most of which were private.
The current issue of Contemporary Issues in Technology and Teacher Education (CITE) Journal highlights an article the Journal has selected for its series of "seminal articles" about education and technology by EDC Vice President Glenn Kleiman.
Yemen is one of the least developed countries in the Arab world, a society where literacy rates for girls and women run as low as 30%, while poverty rates are correspondingly high. In a bold pilot project beginning this September, USAID will wire 24 Yemeni high schools to the Internet for the first time. EDC and its partners iEARN and World Links, will train teachers to use the new technology as well as conduct research on the impact of the initiative, notably on the experience of girls.
EDC is working with Peru's Ministry of Education to improve instructional strategies.
In the inaugural article in a new series on educational technology, EDC vice president Glenn Kleiman explores methods of educational research by focusing on the case study of a technology program in Missouri schools.
"Does Technology Enhance Inquiry-Based Learning?" discusses research into the effectiveness of the Enhancing Missouri's Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies (eMINTS) program. The brief summarizes the research results on four key questions:
According to a study released this week by SRI International and EDC, an overwhelming majority of grade 6-12 teachers and students in the Henrico County, Virginia public school district have benefited from the use of laptop computers.

Another yacht has gone missing, this time a Norwegian yacht in the Atlantic. A wide-spread search is underway, co-ordinated by the Irish Coast Guard off the south-west coast for a yacht with two crew on board, a New Zealander and a Norwegian. They are missing on a voyage from Bermuda to Crookhaven in the County of Cork in Ireland.
Bermuda to Ireland - the intended route of the Golden Eagle
The 10m (33ft) sloop, Golden Eagle , crewed by a 69-year-old Norwegian and a 60-year-old New Zealander, left St George in Bermuda on August 21st. It was due in Crookhaven, west Cork, last Thursday.
The vessel is registered in Bergen, Norway. On Saturday the skipper's family contacted the Norwegian coast guard when he failed to make contact with them as they had expected, given his estimated time of arrival in west Cork.
The Norwegian Coast Guard then contacted Bermuda Maritime Operations Centre which alerted the Irish Coast Guard and a major search operation was launched for the vessel at the weekend.
Bermuda chief maritime operations controller Denis Rowe said that the last contact that Bermuda had with the vessel was via VHF radio, which has a radius of 40-50 miles, as it left the British dependency. However, Mr Rowe said that Golden Eagle was equipped with a 406MHz EPIRB (emergency position indicating radio beacon), which is activated as soon as it comes in contact with water and sends a signal via satellite to the nearest coast guard service.
'An EPIRB is a great piece of equipment to have on a boat and the fact that it has not been activated so far is a good sign,' Mr Rowe said, adding that yachts crossing the Atlantic were frequently delayed and end up diverting to alternative ports.
The Bermuda centre, the Irish Coast Guard, the UK Coast Guard and the Portuguese Coast Guard on the Azores are on the alert for the vessel with long-range information tracking being used to plot its possible route.
An added concern is that the sloop may have been caught in the tail end of Hurricane Katia in the first week of September before it was due to make a landfall in the Republic on or about September 11th.
Declan Geoghegan of the Irish Coast Guard confirmed that the Sikorski helicopters based at Shannon and Waterford carried out a sweep off the Cork coast, while the long-range fixed wing Air Corps Casa also joined in the search yesterday.
Four Naval Service ships on fisheries patrol and drug interdiction duties are also on the lookout for the yacht, while freighters and cruise liners crossing the Atlantic have also been alerted and are sending out radio messages for the vessel.
Mr Geoghegan said the Irish Coast Guard had also contacted air traffic control in Shannon requesting all airliners to keep an eye out for the vessel which would be visible to aircraft flying between Europe and the Americas.

In time for Obama's visit to Wisconsin: "In the first Wisconsin survey since his Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton bowed out, Obama leads Republican John McCain by double digits, outpolls McCain among independents and benefits from an election landscape that is extremely harsh for the GOP," Craig Gilbert writes in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
It's Obama 50, McCain 37 in the survey from the University of Wisconsin Department of Political Science/WisPolitics.com.
And New Jersey's not in real play -- not yet. "With a double-digit lead among women, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the likely Democratic presidential candidate, leads Arizona Sen. John McCain, the likely Republican standard-bearer, 45-39 percent in New Jersey, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today."
On the veepstakes front . . . Gov. Tim Kaine, D-Va., gets front-page Boston Globe treatment: "Kaine's biography and political resume fill many of the perceived gaps in Obama's profile, making him for some analysts a dark horse in veepstakes 2008," Lisa Wangsness writes. "Obama . . . clearly has warm feelings for Kaine, who befriended the Illinois senator when he came to Virginia to stump for Kaine in 2005. (They discovered that their mothers came from the same small town in Kansas.)"
And sorry Dennis: "Democrats in the House of Representatives yesterday scuttled a colleague's proposal to impeach President Bush on a wide range of charges, including lying to the American public about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, torturing war captives, and misleading Congress in an attempt to destroy Medicare," The Boston Globe's Susan Milligan reports. on Rep. Dennis Kucinich's impeachment push
Fun with green screens: ABC's Ron Claiborne has the details on Stephen Colbert's challenge to his viewers, using McCain's election-night speech from last week.
New from the DNC: John McCain vs. the fact-checkers.
GOP strategist Todd Domke spins through the next five months so you don't have to endure them.
The Kicker:
"There's only one thing that can stop Obama -- and it's in . . . me." -- A hulking out "McCain Girl," ready for battle against Obama Girl.
"I only sleep with Democrats." -- Line from new YouTube video, entitled "Blue Balled."

Six-Piece 1899 Proof Set1899 Six-Piece Proof Set NGC. The low-mintage 1899 dollar was once considered very scarce in business strike format and proof examples were especially desirable. However, due to the great Treasury releases of the 1960s, thousands of Uncirculated examples flooded the market. Proofs are now significantly more elusive than their regular issue counterparts. Nonetheless, the former rarity assigned to the dollar meant that many proof sets were broken up and the dollars are seldom seen as part of a complete set.
Unlike the proof issues from 1896 to 1898, the 1899 can be difficult to locate with full details, cameo contrast, and excellent eye appeal. Although many of the silver proof 1899 issues show minor contrast between the fields and the devices, they seldom come close to matching the appearance of the three previous years. The cents and nickels were typically better produced, but they are often found with tiny blemishes. The proofs of 1899 often demand considerable trade-offs from the would-be collector.
The population data from NGC and PCGS support this conclusion. While the 1899 proofs are plentiful at the PR63 and PR64 level, the number of survivors drops substantially in Gem and finer grades. Only a select few proofs have received a Cameo designation from either service, and these rare pieces are highly desirable. Due to the level of connoisseurship that the date demands, the 1899 proof set is the perfect choice for a value-seeking specialist.
Cent PR65 Red and Brown. Bright copper-orange and lemon-gold are the most prominent colors on this cent, though the obverse also shows green shadings at the right obverse and the reverse exhibits mahogany tints. A sharply struck and highly appealing Gem.
Nickel PR66. Both sides show pale nickel-blue and bolder chartreuse toning, with the former color prevailing on the obverse and the latter more prominent on the reverse. Exactingly struck with moderate mirrors that show the greatest depth of reflectivity to either side of the portrait.
Dime PR66. Splashes of violet and emerald toning supplement the golden patina that covers most of the obverse and the upper left reverse. The lowest part of the latter side shows a degree of contrast, thanks to frostiness on the sharply impressed wreath. The mirrored fields show excellent surface quality.
Quarter PR67. Considerable frostiness is evident on the devices, though the deep blue, green, violet, and gold-orange shadings across each side have precluded the possibility of a Cameo designation. The mirrors remain strong, particularly on the reverse, and the preservation is wonderful.
Half PR65. A starkly beautiful Gem that comes the closest in the set to a Cameo designation, and judging from the well-contrasted obverse, that side alone would have ample credentials for such an honor. Golden-brown and canary-yellow peripheral shadings fade into near-nothingness as they progress toward the center.
Dollar PR64. This amply toned Choice proof has deep violet and dusky lavender toning elements over most of each side, with small cores of lighter color near the centers; that on the obverse is pearl-gray, while the one on the reverse is nearly silver-white. Razor-sharp striking definition with only a few faults that are partly hidden by the toning.

Family and friends are important to me. Have traveled local and internationally while in the military, as a federal employee, and also for personal pleasure. Also enjoy spending relaxing times in and around home. Have been told I'm youthful, sincere, warm, friendly, and fun to be around. Enjoy experiencing life and the variety of its composition. Ideally it'd be great to meet a nice female, down to earth, possessing multi-dimensional simultaneity, intelligence, confidence, respectful sense of humor, who permeates love as friendship set to music.

I use 24x28 (actually 600x700mm) for my 16x20 prints. Window size is about 15x19.
You do end up blowing most of a 32x40 mat on each frame with some left over for framing 8x10s, but that's still way cheaper than the museum glass etc. Assuming you're not randomly changing the aspect ratios and can live with a standard 15x19 window, you can of course re-use the mat and change the print over occasionally.

The light salads and sandwiches won't ruin anyone's chances of fitting into the new frocks they've acquired but the signature burger, topped in the classic Aussie style with pineapple, a fried egg, and beets, is well worth the extra calorie count.
