As Russian forces crossed the border into Ukraine's Crimean peninsula over the weekend, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said the situation there risked becoming dangerously unstable.
"This could be a very dangerous situation if this continues in a very provocative way," Hagel said in an interview, recorded Friday, with CBS's Face the Nation. "We have many options, like any nations do. We're trying to deal with the diplomatic focus. That's the appropriate responsible approach and that's what we're going to continue."
Hagel's prerecorded remarks came before the Russian parliament on Saturday unanimously voted to send troops into Ukraine. Responding to that action, Secretary of State John Kerry called on Russia to withdraw its troops, warning that it could face stiff sanctions from the international community if it failed to do so.

In what is likely to be Alaska's worst wildfire season on record, an estimated 1.88 million acres have already been scorched by 617 different fires this year. The fires have been so frequent and so widespread that smoke has made its way all the way down to the Midwest and parts of the South, and could be clearly seen crossing over the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of South Carolina on Wednesday. In fact, the smoke wafting across the landlocked U.S. states has been so thick it has even affected temperatures, lowering daytime highs in some states by a few degrees.
Alaska's record year of wildfires was likely sparked by the state's warmer than average temperatures, as the often snowy state had a relatively snowless winter and a fairly mild spring. Becca Stanek
Donald Trump just can't seem to help himself. The former reality television show star and current 2016 GOP presidential candidate, who has already been abandoned by NBC, Univision, and Macy's over his disparaging comments about Mexicans, has now irked the country's top professional golf organizations.
In a recently released interview with Fortune, The Donald said, "I feel golf should be an aspirational game, something people aspire to." When asked whether that viewpoint was elitist, Trump said that "perhaps that's what golf needs. Let golf be elitist."
While Trump, who owns several golf courses, was confident that the golf world would meet his comments with "tremendous support," his shot ended up out of bounds. On the same day that Trump's Fortune interview was published, the PGA Tour, LPGA Tour, USGA, and PGA released a joint statement saying that Trump's comments — and his presumption of their support — were way off. "While the LPGA, PGA of America, PGA Tour and USGA do not usually comment on presidential politics," the statement read, "Mr. Trump's comments are inconsistent with our strong commitment to an inclusive and welcoming environment in the game of golf." Sadly for Trump, there are no mulligans in national politics. Becca Stanek
The Bureau of Labor Statistics' latest report shows that the U.S. economy added 223,000 jobs in June, dropping the unemployment rate to 5.3 percent.
Unfortunately, job gains in April were revised down, from 221,000 to 187,000. May was revised down as well, from 280,000 to 254,000. That brings the average gain over the past three months to 221,000. But the 2008 collapse blew a very big hole in the economy; to close it by the summer of 2017 the economy needs to be averaging 246,000 jobs added a month.
Labor force participation also fell slightly, by 0.3 percent. That probably accounts for much of the drop in the unemployment rate, since it compares the number of people with a job to the number of people in the labor force (i.e. actively looking for work).
Average hourly earnings rose just 2 percent, dropping back from a 2.3 percent gain last month. So the trend in wage growth is still effectively flat. Jeff Spross
U.S. Park Police and the Metropolitan Police Department are responding to reports of gunmen at the Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., WUSA9 reports. The buildings are on lockdown, and there are no known casualties. The U.S. Navy in a tweet confirmed the lockdown, but said, "No incident can be confirmed as of yet." WUSA9 adds that Navy Security is reporting two shooters, one white and one black male.
In 2013, gunman Aaron Alexis killed 12 at the Navy Yard. Across the nation, security has already been heightened ahead of potential threats during the July 4th weekend.

Never one to underachieve, Billy Joel played his 65th show at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, surpassing Elton John's record for the most concerts performed in the 20,000-person venue.
"I didn't know I'd be here 65 times," Joel modestly told the crowd.
During Joel's record-breaking performance a banner boasting his achievement was raised in the stadium. Joel already had a banner in MSG for most consecutive shows — 19.
But there was no ill will toward John, whose 64 shows were being topped. Joel tipped his hat to his friend by playing John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" in tribute, in addition to his own hits — including "Only the Good Die Young," "We Didn't Start the Fire," "Uptown Girl," and "It's Still Rock 'n' Roll to Me."
A Bronx-native, Joel played his first show at MSG in 1978; last year he began a residency at the Garden, announcing he'd play a show a month for "as long as there is demand." Tickets to his August through December shows are available on Ticketmaster, but best be quick: all five are almost sold out. Jeva Lange
Poll: 75 percent of Southern whites call Confederate flag symbol of pride. So do 11 percent of Southern blacks.
There's been a tectonic shift in the politics of the Confederate battle flag since the murder of nine black worshippers at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church on June 17. But there hasn't been much of a shift in how Americans view the flag, according to a June 26-28 CNN/ORC poll released Thursday. Overall, 57 percent of Americans say the Confederate flag is more a symbol or Southern pride than racism — about the same as in 2000 — but that number hides some sharp racial divides.
Among white respondents, 66 percent picked Southern pride, versus 17 percent of blacks. On the other hand, 72 percent of black respondents saw more racism than pride in the flag, as did 25 percent of whites. In the South, the split was starker: 75 percent white and 11 percent black favoring Southern pride, 75 percent black and 18 percent black calling it a symbol of racism. Among all whites, those with college educations were more likely to see racism than whites without a college education, the poll found.
When it comes to what actually happened in the South after the shooting, majorities of all respondents approve: Removing the Confederate flag from (non-museum) government property wins 55 percent to 43 percent, and 50 percent backs the decisions of private companies to stop selling or manufacturing the flag, versus 47 who oppose the decision. You can find more numbers at CNN. Peter Weber
Over 5,000 residents in Maryville, Tennessee, have been evacuated after a freight train carrying "highly flammable and toxic gas" ran off the tracks and caught fire, NBC reports. The evacuation zone, which has been established just outside of Knoxville, has a radius of over two miles and could be in place for up to 48 hours, the fire department said.
The train was carrying acrylonitrile, which is used to manufacture acrylic fibers. When inhaled, the gas can cause membrane and kidney irritation, headaches, and nausea. Three train cars burst into flames after the derailment; seven officers were hospitalized after breathing the fumes. Jeva Lange

It's photo day at the St. Ben's meal. A volunteer project called Help-Portrait Milwaukee has set up in a small room and is offering to snap a picture of anyone who wants one.
No one knows how many takers to expect.
"Many of the guests are very shy and suspicious of cameras and video cameras. I was not sure how this would be received," said Brother Dave Schwab, director of the nightly community meal downtown at 9th and State streets.
He needn't have worried. People begin to file in. In turn they stand against a white wall with their toes up to a strip of tape on the floor. Most are photographed solo. A few buddy up with a friend, and some women have children or grandchildren with them. The lighting is the same used for models.
These are people who are practically invisible in society, but the camera sees them fine. Some are homeless. Some are down and out or mentally ill or way too alone. Yet their human spirit and dignity shine through on the glossy prints they're handed within a minute or two of posing.
Thomas Edward Carter laughs when he looks at his. It's a laugh of delight at seeing himself in a photograph, a common experience for most of us in a time of Facebook but entirely novel for him. He's just come in from the cold, and in the photo he's still wearing his hood tightly around his head and his jacket is zipped up to his neck. His eyes are bright and he's smiling.
When was the last time he posed for a picture? "That I couldn't tell you," says the 63-year-old, who tells me he's disabled and bipolar. He knows homelessness but at the moment has a place to stay.
He's hard-pressed to say why he wanted his photo taken, or as the Help-Portrait folks like to say, given. He receives an 8-by-10 head-and-shoulders shot and one that's 4-by-6, which will probably go to one of his many sisters, he says.
Help-Portrait was started by Jeremy Cowart of Nashville, who has photographed many celebrities. Last year, more than 40,000 portraits were given to the photo-needy in 42 countries. What happened at St. Ben's, and also at a few other locations around Milwaukee last weekend, is part of this year's worldwide effort.
All the supplies are donated. No one is charged for the photos, and they are not used for any commercial purpose.
Four volunteers from the project are at St. Ben's when I visit. Leroy Skalstad, himself a regular at the community meal and a photographer for the St. Ben's calendar, checks people in. Rob Gustafson is wielding the camera with help from Matt Heltsley. And Reuben Neese runs the printer. All are either paid or hobby photographers.
"I'm Rob and I'm going to take your picture," the shooter says to each new photo subject. Some are nervous and need to be coaxed to smile. Others ham it up and pose boldly. The mood in the room is fun. William Taylor Jr., 52, spreads his fingers into a peace sign. "Look at me," he laughs.
"I eat a meal here every day," he tells me. "I'm homeless and I have a drug problem." As he's trying to remember the last time anyone bothered to take his photo, someone nearby yells kiddingly, "Tell the truth. It was for breaking and entering."
More than 100 people are photographed at St. Ben's on this day, and each one walks away with a glossy print or two. The volunteers provide Christmas cards in case anyone wants to give the photo as a gift.
"I'll treasure it," Carla Highshaw, 48, says as we look at her photo. She's wearing a pretty blue and white blouse and hoop earrings. "I look pretty. I like it." She comes for a meal about every other day and stays with a friend, she says.
Calvin Young tells me he's homeless and appreciates everything St. Ben's does for him. The 50-year-old has family, but he can't live there, he says. He did not have any photos of himself until now.
His photo is tucked in a Christmas card that says, "May hope inspire you, may joy fill your heart." He takes the picture out and we look at it.
"I think this is very beautiful," he says, "and it's just me."

Street Strut, 'Taste' event go together like blues and barbecue
It's true: There was no need for umbrellas on Saturday. Yet the 2009 Street Strut isn't about convention.
In fact, if there are any rules to the 19th annual Mardi Gras style celebration of wackiness, it's that there are no rules.
That's why the woman who carried a green umbrella dangling miniature soccer balls was probably committing a technical foul ... somewhere.
Then there was the girl who rode a bicycle on which she had covered the tire slats (and her helmet) with pieces of aluminum foil.
And it could be why this year's Grande Ooh-Pee-Doo won the top award in a way that she said was accidental.
"I laid out a couple of things and said, 'I'm tired, I'm going to bed,' " Susie Rideout laughed, her black umbrella embellished with paintings of flowers that matched her dress.
"I learned something years ago," she added, her eyes twinkling behind a Mardi Gras-style mask. "You don't wear high heels."
That's probably good advice, considering the annual parade loops through several downtown streets and into Central Park.
This year's Street Strut even took place earlier than usual as the organizers decided it would be a good opening-day event for the W.C. Handy Blues and Barbecue Festival.
"We will definitely leave it like this," said Julie Turnipseed, executive director of the Downtown Henderson Project, which organized the parade.
"The spirit was there," she added. "It's a great marriage with the Taste of Henderson."
Compatibility aside, there were plenty of contrasts to be had as the strutters zigzagged their hips and waived their arms on the same streets that, come Monday, will see men and women hurrying toward the more orderly careers of law and finance.
The police escort helped, of course, as the "Whoop! Whoop!" of the siren cut in and out of Bob Minette and the Dixieland Society's rendition of "When The Saints Go Marching In" and other songs.
Leslie Rideout and her sister, Katherine Posey, dressed as step-sisters, her mother, Paula Posey, was the fairy godmother, Savannah Rideout was the princess and Brayden Rideout was prince charming in the Cinderella group. They won the best group category.
"(Savannah) loved it," Leslie Rideout said as she held a quiet 11-month-old Brayden. "She likes to show off."
It was entertaining for those who don't participate, too. Mary Ruth Duckworth said she loves to watch the strutters come through the park.
"I think it's wonderful that they have this," the Henderson resident said. "It gives people a chance to show off their New Orleans strut."
As for Rideout, the event was just a way to have some fun.
"You take life so seriously all the time," she said. "You need to get out of that."

The Swaziland National Housing Board announced last month that it is in the final stages of acquiring loans to finance the first phase of the project. Following this latest development, it is expected that the Loan Agreement and Guarantee Agreement will be reviewed and signed soon.Phase I of the project, which has an estimated cost of E600 million, will see the construction of 43 blocks countrywide for services agencies, such as the Royal Swaziland Police (RSP), His Majesty's Correctional Services (HMCS) and the Swaziland National Fire and Emergency Services (SNFES) among others.The Board is also in the final stages of awarding the first contract (Package "C"), which involves the construction of units in Lobamba and Ezulwini for the RSP and the SNFES. To date, 9 tender packages have been published in the local newspapers, meaning only three packages remain, as the first phase has 12 packages in total. Priority for construction contracts is given to Swazi contractors who meet the SNHB's procurement requirements. Contractors registered in the Ministry of Public Works and Transport register are invited to tender and they are also expected to be registered with the Construction Industry Council as one of the other requirements. The Board was appointed by the Swaziland Government to implement a phased housing program (the Institutional Housing Project) for civil servants. The project is intended to address the acute housing shortage currently experienced by civil service agencies nationwide. SNHB will raise finance, construct and manage the housing units, which will be occupied by the respective government agencies. Government agencies that will benefit from this project include Ministries of Health, Education and Defence and other essential services agencies, such as the RSP, HMCS, SNFES, as well the Sikhuphe Housing Estate. The need to carry out this project was necessitated by the fact that the essential services agencies have a total staff complement of approximately 18 000 officers collectively, who require institutional housing yet these agencies currently have a total of less than 6000 units of accommodation in which to house its officers. In addition, the agencies recruit a combined estimate of 1 500 new officers annually. Therefore, the project offers government a financial solution and delivery mechanism, which will see the construction of housing for essential services officers to alleviate the accommodation backlog.The SNHB has 26 years of experience in the planning, development and management of housing estates. Successful projects include Helemisi Township (Manzini), Mbangweni Township & Woodlands Township (Mbabane) and Thembelisha Township (Ezulwini).
The Estate is tucked in the heart of Ezulwini, just behind the Royal Villas. It is along the link road between Codec and Ezulwini Town Board at the edge of the u-bend. It offers 27 residential plots with sizes ranging from 1 402 to 2 631 square metres.
The plots are suited for exclusive up market residential purposes, boasting of tranquil virgin land. This is a 24-hour controlled and safe environment, with an open space for recreational facilities. Property buyers are invited to come and experience the prestige of exclusive privacy in the exquisite up-market residential estate. Close by is the Gables Shopping Complex, Corner Plaza, major hotels and many more.
The application period for rental units at our residential portfolio in both Mbabane and Matsapha is still open.The SNHB offers affordable residential units in secure and peaceful surroundings. Our residential portfolio in both the capital city of Mbabane and the industrial town, Matsapha comprises of over 1 000 units.
We are proud to say that since inception, we have developed residential units in Mbabane, which are fully let out to locals, most of whom work within the urban parameters of Mbabane. These units are spread across Mbabane's suburbia and its townships. Our Matsapha residential portfolio is suitably nested within the high density urban industrial area of Matsapha. The estate is the largest, consisting of both a commercial portfolio and has proven to be convenient, as it lies between the country's major towns of Mbabane and Manzini.To apply, visit our offices at 3rd Floor Dlan'ubeka Building and our Matsapha Estate Office to get application forms or download the form from our Leasing Portfolio.

What the hell is the sf flu??
Hi everyone,

Has anyone had this diagnosed? A lot of us seem to have picke dit up. Starts as a fever and nausea, turns into sore throat and hacking cough. Insomnia all the way.

I heard Ron mention he starts antibiotics tomorrow so...I dunno if that's your typical blanket cure-all that doctors normally give you, or if they actually know what's wrong. Couldn't hurt to get it checked out (assuming you have insurance.)

what's airborne?
i've mostly passed through the fevers and chills, and instead now have swollen glands/tonsils. I didn't sleep for more than about two hours in a row for the past several nights. Last night I found some stuff called 'night nurse' which tastes and looks exactly like absinthe - evil stuff - and i've spent most of the last 24 hours asleep. Can't even concentrate enough to put a dvd on.

Arlington Court and the National Trust Carriage Museum
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Intriguing Regency house and impressive horse-drawn vehicles set in picturesque gardens
Arlington Court is an unexpected jewel on the edge of Exmoor, a complete family estate held by the Chichester family for over five hundred years. The collection consists of treasures for all tastes, from model ships to shells, collected over several generations. The house itself, built in 1823 and extended in 1860, has an austere facade. However, inside the cosy rooms purvey a homely, family atmosphere.
The Carriage Museum in the stables has a vehicle for every occasion from cradle to grave. Currently on loan from the Houses of Parliament is the Speaker's State Coach, a glorious, gilded carriage with over 300 years of history.
Keeping Arlington alive:
- Jacob sheep and Red Devon cattle graze the estate and provide seasonal dishes for our menu
- Over 20 miles of footpaths to explore, including our popular lake walk, just under two miles, which tours the man-made lake and bridge piers of an unfulfilled Victorian dream
- Formal Victorian garden with conservatory rebuilt in 2012, planted with exotic species and walled garden providing produce for the tea room and flowers for the house
- An abundance of wildlife to discover including two species of bat roosting in the cellars, an ancient heronry and a birdhide, to view nature at its best
Outdoor theatre
Nothing is more enjoyable on a summer's evening than a night of outdoor theatre. With great shows this season, there's something to please all the family.
Woollen Woods
Now in full bloom. Arlington is hosting the 'Woollen Woods in bloom' project in partnership with Voluntary Arts. Lots of people have kindly sent in their creations and we've put these together to create a magical display in our grounds. Creations still being accepted.

My XR650R used to spring back up again at an equal rate. I already have both adjusters (both slotted screws, the one on the reservoir pictured, and the one under the spring on the other side) turned out all the way now, and still lousy suspension. Shock was allegedly re-valved, but if the fluid is supposed to flow better, it doesn't seem to be.
PS - Enjoying your adventure blog!
Thanks for the comment on our blog, we are enjoying it too and feel lucky to be able to be on the road.
Sounds like you may have other issues depending on the valving and sound like it has been revalved fo someone heavier.

Couldn't have put that better.
, we run our high speed completely out but remember there is a cross over point as well and it is just how we like it.

The Baltimore Ravens remain poised to reach the postseason as AFC North champions - just like last year - in spite of their disappointing and unexpected loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Baltimore (9-3) could have clinched a playoff berth and eliminated the Steelers from the division race with a victory on Sunday. Instead, the Ravens had their 15-game home winning streak snapped with a 23-20 defeat. Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs left in the fourth quarter after hurting his upper right arm and could miss this Sunday's game against Washington. Coach John Harbaugh said Monday the injury ''needs to be evaluated as far as possibly coming back and playing this week or not.'' Baltimore leads Pittsburgh (7-5) and Cincinnati (7-5) by two games in the AFC North with four to play.

You Need A Budget
This time of year is often rough on finances, and although there are many money-management tools available for Linux, none are quite like You Need A Budget, or YNAB for short. Unlike traditional budgeting programs, YNAB focuses on a few simple rules to help you get out of debt and, more important, to see where your money is going. If you've ever struggled with sticking to a budget (I certainly have), give YNAB a try. I'm not a "numbers person", yet YNAB seems to make sense.
YNAB is an Adobe Air-based application, so it runs on Windows, Macintosh and Linux. It's not free, but there's a seven-day trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee. There's even an app in the Android Marketplace that will sync with your desktop application for entering purchases on the go. YNAB isn't for everyone, but if you've ever struggled with budgeting and been frustrated that most finance applications are Windows-only, give YNAB a try: http://www.youneedabudget.com.
Shawn Powers is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal. You might find him chatting on the IRC channel, or Twitter
budget planning
If you've created a budget, you know exactly how much money you have coming in, and how much is going out. You can make some plans concerning that big expense. But if you don't have a budget plan, you probably don't have a very good picture of your finances, and you may be tempted to borrow more money rather than squeezing all you can from your income. It's definitely better in the long run -- for you and for your money -- to have a budget.
If you faced financial problems, try online loans offered with no faxing.

Great post and now I know what to do, thank you! Actually this Blog post helped me a lot. I hope you continue writing about this kind of entry.
Computer history is strewn
Computer history is strewn with examples of companies that made business decisions that seemed reasonable at the time but later turned out to have been unwise, to say the least. I sincerely hope this Adobe decision i.e. discontinuing of Adobe Air for Linux support joins such examples. Incidentally, isn't Android at heart Linux?
Search for:
and you will find links to Adobes older pages for the Linux version. Note that there are both 32 an 64 bit available.
That's disappointing. Thanks
That's disappointing. Thanks for your comments.

I use YNAB because of the
I use YNAB because of the philosophy that is built in to their system, which didn't seem easy for me to use in any other system. I did try YNAB in the newest version of AIR under WINE in Ubuntu. It worked great. As far as I could tell, all the functionality was intact - even mobile sync. I love the program so much that, even if it ceases to work under WINE, I will use it in my Windows 7 virtual box, which I maintain for one other vital program.
This is a great program. We
This is a great program. We use it on Ubuntu faithfully. However, Linux users should be aware that the newest versions of Adobe Air will not support Linux. Thus, future versions of YNAB, which will run on newer Airs, will not run natively on Linux either. However, there may be a possibility that the newest Airs will run under WINE, as they seem to do well.
No Air for Linux
As far as I know, Adobe Air for Linux is not supported anymore. I'm using the last version available. So you better not get hooked on an application you might not be able to keep running.

A new name. A new look. A new way to get ahead.
Workforce Solutions renovates facility, provides new technology for job seekers in Coastal bend
Job seekers and employers have a newly renovated facility from Workforce Solutions of the Coastal Bend that its officials say will help them better recruit, hire and train people for local industries.
The former Texas Employment Commission office, a 22,000-square-foot building on Staples Street, has been equipped with a resource lab with 19 computers, faxes and telephones for local and long-distance job-seeking related calls, four conference/meeting rooms and interview space for employers.
A grand reopening of the facility is at 10 a.m. today at 520 N. Staples St.
Increased traffic from employers wanting to use the facility and the desire to provide better technology for job seekers prompted Workforce Solutions to remodel the building, said Mary Ann Rojas, executive director of Workforce Solutions, formerly named WorkSource of the Coastal Bend. Renovations began in June. A cost estimate for the project was unavailable, but because the building is owned by the state, no local dollars went into the work.
"This nice upgraded facility with its larger, better-equipped rooms will help the area tremendously," Rojas said. "It also sends a great message to companies wanting to locate in the area. It says we want to help recruit, hire and train the people our industries need."
Workforce Solutions oversees federal and state work-force programs such as youth summer-job programs, child-care assistance and job training. Services have been offered at its Sunrise Mall location since June 2007 and from a building on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive since 1994.
The organization will continue to use the MLK building until its lease expires in March 2009, but services for job seekers and employers only will be available from offices at Sunrise Mall and Staples Street, said Elva Rodriguez, a Workforce Solutions' spokeswoman.
Daniel Gallegos, administrator for city's Community Development Department, said the city has been looking for tenants for the more than 32,000 square feet of space available at the Martin Luther King building, the site of the old police station.
"We've had some prospects but no formal inquiries," Gallegos said.
Interested parties should contact the city's Community Development Department at 826-3017.

MUFONRead MoreIn 1969, aficionados from six midwestern states formed the Midwest UFO Network?MUFON for short?to improve and organize their growing reports of UFO sightings. Now known as the Mutual UFO Network, MUFON's more than 3,000 members have formed chapters throughout the United States and various countries around the globe. More than 900 of those members are trained field investigators who interview UFO witnesses and compose written accounts of sightings. Some of those findings, as well as the latest research findings, are showcased at MUFON's annual International UFO Symposium, which rotates through the United States and is sometimes held on Earth's second moon. MUFON runs similar events throughout the year, and prints more info about sightings and UFO science in its monthly journal.400 Oxford Valley RoadLanghorne, PA US
Oakford Paranormal SocietyRead MoreLed by founder and experienced parapsychologist Carol Haughey, the Oakford Paranormal Society fulfills two objectives: investigate paranormal activity, and teach others how to recognize it. Their members travel to houses, taverns, and even woodlands that are reportedly haunted, bringing cameras and other equipment in order to gather evidence. When on an assignment, they examine the site's history in tandem with their own recordings to document any otherworldly presences—they even have a group solely devoted to interpreting EVP, or electronic voice phenomena, which happens when a ghost gets hold of an auto-tune device. And, in the interest of education and recruitment, they welcome the public to their meetings and workshops free of charge.220 Centre StreetPenndel, PA US

MP3-player docks increase the relaxation potential, allowing bodies to settle into the beds' contoured confines and listen to their favorite music or bedtime stories read by Morgan Freeman. For patrons seeking sunless options, staffers utter secret passwords that open the doors of VersaSpa and Mystic Tan spray-tan booths, which leave bodies bronzed for up to seven days. Red-light-therapy sessions aim to firm and tone skin, and hydration stations combine steam, radiant heat, and liquid vitamins to extend the life of new tans. When not reuniting bodies with their ideal shades of bronze, the caring crew has worked to fight hunger in the local community by collecting donated canned goods for Philabundance.5633 Bensalem BlvdBensalem, PA US

Martha Hart's long-standing lawsuit against WWE over the use of Owen Hart's likeness in WWE products is over. Hart and WWE have announced that they have settled the lawsuit, which was filed by Martha in June of 2010 alleging that there had been non-payment of royalties to Owen's estate and that the company had violated a contract that restricted use of Owen's likeness.
The lawsuit has gone back and forth over the last three years, with both sides scoring legal victories. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Finding meaning in life is an ongoing, lifelong process
I enjoy thoughtful conversation and activities that feed my intellectual curiosity. My idea of fun activities are not those are mindlessly escapist but rather are thought-provoking and substantive. For example, when traveling, I prefer to go to cities or out of the way places to learn about different cultures and people, avoiding standard "tourist traps" that are designed to segregate tourists from the locals. Another example: over the past few years I've lived abroad (Nanjing, China for a year and Seoul, South Korea for 6 months). Being immersed in another culture was a truly enjoyable experience because everyday there was something that challenged my preconceived notions and new things to explore. Of course, not all activities can be of this sort, and I do enjoy some that are less-than-substantive. I like to exercise as a way to relieve stress and relax. I also enjoy eating out and exploring new cuisines and restaurants. I'm an easy-going, sincere and responsible person. I'm dedicated to my work as a scholar and teacher (I teach political science at SDSU), which I thoroughly enjoy. Even though I study politics for a living, and take my job seriously, I'm not a political junkie that spends all my time watching CNN. I have strong political views of my own but am open-minded to other views and can get along well with people with whom I disagree. I'm looking for someone who is intelligent, open-minded, and compassionate. Also someone who prefers meaningful conversation rather than just small talk.

Some of my favorite novels include One Hundred Years of Solitude (Marquez), Revolutionary Road (Yates), To Live (Yu), The Joke (Kundera), The Brothers Karamazov (Dostoyevsky), and The Corrections (Franzen).
I enjoy listening to an eclectic mix of music--everything from Bach to Miles Davis to the Grateful Dead to the Smashing Pumpkins. I also enjoy reading novels, occasionally playing sports, and outdoor activities.

Hi. What's your favorite program for editing photos and why?
I'm using Photoshop CS 5 atm, but I find it a little complex.
Hi. What's your favorite program for editing photos and why?
I'm using Photoshop CS 5 atm, but I find it a little complex.
Sometimes I find it amusing to see people purchase $1000 professional image editing software and say "this is complicated". Oh wait...
But yeah, also PS CS5 user here. Although nowadays all the "editing" I usually need I to more fast with just Mac's Preview tool, so I hardly even start Photoshop up.
I use PIXLR Editor which is free and online, very easy to use and much like photoshop but its not as good. I use it just to change stuff on pictures when I cbf waiting through that loading screen for Photoshop, that and I only have photoshop on my computer and I use my laptop more.
I generally use the picture manager that comes with Microsoft Office. I have GIMP, but it is totally unnecessary for what I do with pictures (plus I don't really understand what all the stuff does).

Photoshop. After using it for 6 years straight I guess you kinda get used to it. Just look up some basic tutorials and you can figure out how to do things fairly easily. Even for simple things like cropping and resizing I just use photoshop.
GIMP. It's free and it works well.
It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
What kind of photo editing are we talking about here?
Photoshop is good but for a lot of stuff it's completely unnecessary. When it comes to just importing, organizing and post-processing RAW files I use Aperture. For heavier editing I go to Photoshop. For tone-mapping HDR photos I generally use Photomatix and then touch things up in Photoshop if needed.
If we're talking about general image editing then I prefer Illustrator for vector graphics, Sketchbook Pro for quick sketching and Painter or Photoshop for more involved raster graphics work.
I am the Kwisatz Haderach
I work as a developer but get design work lumped in and tend to mostly use Photoshop, but can't beat Illustrator. However, it's no less complicated.Illustrator for vector graphics
OP might want to give Fireworks a try though
<Senate Special Order> | Red Eclipse EU
I use Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator (for vectors).
I use it professionally however, so I've never had to factor price into the software...
Photoshop for thing like editing the contrast, tone, light levels and so on.
For simple stuff like resizing I use pictureviewer.
Congratulations on graduating to expert level trolling, I would stick around but I'm busy getting gay married in 13 states and performing roadside abortions while passing bills that take away people's guns while i sip superior european wine and cheese i bought with european style socialist money, arrivaderci!
If you're just talking about basic image enhancement, lightroom is great for getting through a lot of photos fast.
Other than that the photoshop cs6 beta is out, and they made a lot of good UI/UX changes.
I use PS CS4 because it's on my computer. I would say I'm a fair PS user. I first started using PS5 when I was in upper secondary school. Our computers were Macs and had Photoshop on them. We got some basics from our contemporary arts teacher and the rest I've found out by trial and error. I know enough to be able to do what I need to do
When someone asks, "What is best in life?" there's only one answer: "To crush the newbs, see them driven before me, and read their lamentations on the forums" - Lylirra
Photoshop...been using it since version 2.5, so it's been easy to adapt to later versions with additional tools. Some I use, and some I do not.
If a video game developer removed tumors from players, they'd whine about nerfing their loss in weight and access to radiation powers. -Cracked.com
My favorite is ReaConverter photo editing software. We can download this software from that link. I have just downloaded that it contains anything a digital camera owner might need to correct or enhance their photos.
GIMP for photos and art. Photoshop is nice but the price (((

Easier said than done? You might consider some people capable of tapping into their heart intuition, but you haven't been able to do it, or it is such a rarity that you readily dismiss all such instances as mere coincidence or sheer luck. No matter, say researchers who have studied the intuitive process, because the heart, like the body, is constantly engaged in intuitive activity we are not even aware of, and it keeps right on intuiting – receiving information before the brain, processing it, then steering us in directions it deems beneficial to us.
One of the greatest gifts in life is being able to be in touch with your own intuitive guidance from the heart. It's that still small voice inside each of us. Life just seems to work better and feel easier when I follow mine. You can even enhance your ability to use your heart intuition, as you reduce your stress levels.
Recently, a friend was going through a hard time and I wanted to help her sort it out but my heart intuition said "wait". A few days later, it felt right to connect with her. We had a really powerful and heartfelt conversation. She'd had time to reflect on the issue a little deeper, so our talk was more effective than it would have been if I'd rushed right in.
Here is how to fine-tune your own heart intuition:
- Download the GPS for the Soul app from iTunes. Use it for 2-3 minutes several times a day, if possible. If you get a stressful reading, follow or create a guide of your own on the app to bring yourself into more balance.
- Ask your heart if you could access your intuition more consistently and how would it influence your life? Write down your answers to help chart your progress.
- Practice asking your heart for guidance. Start with simple practical things like: What helpful attitudes should I bring to an upcoming situation? Should I speak up or hold back? What would be a balanced meal for my body? Calm the mind and emotions and listen for the first thoughts that come to you that feel right. Write them down. Do a self-test. Follow your heart and see how things turn out.

Sorry, Gardengirl, they were your bulbs. Senior moment, they were on the previous page. Was a bit worried about mine so dug about a bit with my fingers and found iris reticulata shoots half an inch underground. I expect snowdrops are coming up by now but didn't want to walk across the sodden lawn.
Mirabelle's are cherry plums. Mine had little yellow plums the size of Gardener's Delight tomatoes. They make good jam and can be used in pies, tarts and clafoutis, also can be eaten raw.
If finances run to it, I think that's a great idea from Bob. As well as raising the path it would look so much better. Straight concrete paths aren't very attractive.
Wow! to your bulbs, Dove. Nothing showing here, looked this morning in the rain, but shouldn't be long now - unless they've all rotted!
My dog's 11th birthday today, Border Collie. But no more treats left, he's already had the leftovers from the guinea fowl Christmas lunch and I haven't been shopping since.
I've put on about 3lbs over Christmas, but not New Year yet, diet on hold!
Planted Mirabelle yesterday which friend gave me. I'd re-potted it in the Spring thinking it was too small to go in the lawn and it's grown a lot and masses of roots, quite heavy.
Morning all.
That sounds like a fun walk KEF. What a coincidence.
Hope back is better soon, Clarington.
Must hide the chocs. Ate too many yesterday and felt
Hope your Pa is feeling brighter today Dove. What a worry on Christmas Day.
Good luck with your knee John. Everyone I know who's had a new knee says it's wonderful. No more arthritis.
Hello Cody, thanks for the tip, good to know. Hope you had a good Christmas.
We had a good day yesterday with friends coming to lunch and 1 to stay the night. In fact we had 2 Christmases as we'd celebrated on Sunday with my children and grandchildren. But I did feel sorry for those poor people at Gatwick Airport and those in the floods in Surrey, Sussex and Kent.
I was a nurse before I had my four children and I used to enjoy Christmas at the hospital (Westminster, the old one). We had a best decorated ward competition and the patients who were well enough used to join in. A lot of people were able to go home for Christmas so the wards weren't full, emergency only operations.
Happy Christmas
We had ours on Sunday with my 4 children and 6 grandchildren and we are having another today with friends coming to lunch.
Sorry, got my Decembers muddled, that's last year's tree. This is this year's, but they are pretty similar.

Rockies activate Fowler
Updated: September 9, 2009, 8:35 PM ETAssociated Press
DENVER -- The banged-up Colorado Rockies got outfielder Dexter Fowler back Wednesday and two more key players also are nearing a return.
Fowler was reinstated from the disabled list, where he spent the last couple weeks recovering from a bruised right knee. He was injured when his foul ball struck his knee during an extra-inning victory against the San Francisco Giants on Aug. 24.
Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and third baseman Ian Stewart could return in the next couple days. Both tweaked ...

In a 2-quart heavy saucepan bring water to a boil. Add grits in a stream, stirring, and cook, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in butter, tasso, and salt to taste and spread grits in baking dish, 13 by 19 by 2 inches. Cool grits and chill, covered, overnight. Grits may be made 2 days ahead and kept chilled, covered.
Have flour, eggs, and bread crumbs ready in separate shallow dishes. Cut grits into twenty-four 4-by 1/2-inch batons and dredge in flour. Dip batons in eggs and dredge in bread crumbs. Batons may be prepared up to this point 8 hours ahead and kept chilled, uncovered, on a baking sheet.
In a deep skillet or heavy kettle heat 1 1/2 inches oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer and fry batons in batches, turning, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer batons with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.

|Eli Manning is four spots behind Brady, but he's the hotter QB coming into Sunday's game. (Getty Images)
INDIANAPOLIS -- The line says Super Bowl XLVI will be a close game.
Ranking the starters 1-48 (counting the four kickers and punters) based on their ability and how each has played this season and in the playoffs also indicates a close game is coming.
Both the New England Patriots and New York Giants, the two combatants in this week's Super Bowl, each have five players ranked up in my top 10 of starters in the game.
|More on Super Bowl XLVI
|Related links
|Super Bowl RapidReports
|NFL coverage on the go
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady tops the list -- who could argue with that? -- and he has three of his offensive teammates with him in the top 10.
The Giants' top player is defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, who is ranked second on my list. He had three offensive teammates and one defensive teammate joining him in the top 10.
Each team has 10 players in the top 20, again indicating we should have a close game.
Let's hope that's the case. Here's the list, go ahead and start the debate.
1. Tom Brady, QB, Patriots -- Easiest pick of them all. He is one of the best quarterbacks of all time.
2. Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, Giants -- He is a freakish talent who plays hard all the time. His ability to rush the passer somewhat overlooks the fact that he is a good run player.
3. Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots -- He is now the NFL's best tight end, a receiving threat who can also block a little.
4. Vince Wilfork, DT, Patriots -- He was sensational against the Ravens and is a big reason why the Patriots defense is much improved.
5. Eli Manning, QB, Giants -- He's elevated his game this season to a new high. With one more victory, he's firmly in the conversation about the elite.
6. Wes Welker, WR, Patriots -- He led the league in receptions, doing most of his damage in the slot. He is Brady's security blanket.
7. Hakeem Nicks, WR, Giants -- He is a big and fast receiver that scares defenses. His improvement is a big reason why the offense is better.
8. Chris Snee, G, Giants -- The son-in-law of coach Tom Coughlin, Snee is a mauler and a fighter. He is an all-day battle.
9. Justin Tuck, DE, Giants -- He has some injury issues this season, but he's a top talent who has been rolling in the playoffs.
10. Brian Waters, G, Patriots -- This veteran guard outplayed Logan Mankins, the team's left guard. Waters was a good offseason pickup for the Patriots.
11. Victor Cruz, WR, Giants -- He is small, quick and much faster than many expected. He is fearless in the middle of the field.
|No. 12 Jerod Mayo has quietly had a great season for a maligned Pats defense. (US Presswire)
13. Logan Mankins, G, Patriots -- Even though Waters was slightly better, Mankins still plays a high level.
14. Mathias Kiwanuka, OLB, Giants -- He can thump in the run game, but he can also rush the passer having been a defensive end at times in his career.
15. Brandon Spikes, MLB, Patriots -- His improved play after coming back from an early-season injury has really sparked the defense. He plays with a lot of passion.
16. Kenny Phillips, S, Giants -- He has been steady in the back end of the Giants defense, flashing the talent that made him a first-round pick.
17. Aaron Hernandez, TE, Patriots -- He is the second half of the team's double-tight set. He can also line up in the backfield and run the ball, which he has done in recent games.
18. Corey Webster, CB, Giants -- If you needed one word to describe his game, it would be solid. He isn't a Pro Bowl player, but he's not far off.
19. Matt Light, LT, Patriots -- This veteran left tackle continues to be a solid player protecting Brady's backside.
20. Michael Boley, LB, Giants -- He is a good run-and-chase linebacker who will be key in coverage against the New England tight ends.
21. Linval Joseph, DT, Giants -- He might be the most improved player on the field over the course of the season. He is really underrated.
22. Kyle Love, DT, Patriots -- His improvement in the middle of the defense has really helped complement Wilfork. He is a wide-body player who is tough to move.
23. Chris Canty, DT, Giants -- This powerful veteran is good against the run, but he can also create some problems with his pass-rush ability from the inside.
24. Antrel Rolle, S, Giants -- He talks a big game, but inconsistency keeps him from being a top-level player. He is valuable in that he can drop down and cover the slot.
25. Devin McCourty, CB, Patriots -- He looked like a star last season as a rookie, but has struggled this season. He is being used as a safety in sub-packages now.
26. Stephen Gostkowski, K, Patriots -- He was third in the NFL in scoring and missed just five field goals and tied for 10th with 41 kickoffs for touchbacks.
27. Kevin Boothe, G, Giants -- Bad body, but plays hard all the time. He has been a pleasant surprise up front for the Giants' O-line.
28. Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Giants -- The Giants are a different team when he's on the field. They are a much quicker team when he's carrying, rather than Brandon Jacobs.
29. Aaron Ross, CB, Giants -- He has moments where he can look like a star and others where he looks like he should be on the bench.
30. Nate Solder, T, Patriots -- This rookie has had some good games as a starter for the injured Sebastian Vollmer. There is a chance Vollmer could play this week.
31. David Diehl, T, Giants -- He takes a lot of heat, but he is better than some think. He's a reliable left tackle.
32. Mark Anderson, DE, Patriots -- This veteran pass rusher is really the only true pass-rush threat. He has been steady all season.
33. Rob Ninkovich, OLB, Patriots -- He is a typical Patriots player: A tough, hard-nosed player who plays hard all the time.
34. Jake Ballard, TE, Giants -- Don't go to sleep on him because he's the "other" tight end in this game. He had a good game the last time these teams met.
35. Benjarvus Green-Ellis, RB, Patriots -- He's a reliable runner who doesn't fumble and runs hard. He won't get 65-yard runs, but he can move the chains.
36. Kyle Arrington, CB, Patriots -- While McCourty tailed off, he improved. He has seven picks on the season.
37. Deion Branch, WR, Patriots -- The veteran former Super Bowl MVP doesn't run like he used to, but he can still make plays on the intermediate routes.
38. David Baas, C, Giants -- He has battled injuries this season and hasn't played as well as expected.
39. Brandon Deaderick, DE, Patriots -- He stepped in when Andre Carter went down and has done a nice job. He isn't a great pass rusher, but does a nice job against the run.
40. Patrick Chung, S, Patriots -- He missed time with injuries and the Patriots' pass coverage really struggled. It has improved with him back in the lineup.
41. Chase Blackburn, MLB, Giants -- He was signed in the midseason and has played well in the middle of the defense. He is smart and can play the pass as well.
42. Zoltan Mesko, P, Patriots -- He was third in the NFL in net average and had 24 inside the 20.
43. Henry Hynoski, FB, Giants -- He is a lead blocker most of the time, but he does slip out of the backfield now and then.
44. Lawrence Tynes, K, Giants -- His two overtime kicks in championship games put the Giants in two Super Bowls. He's clutch.
45. Kareem McKenzie, T, Giants -- He is a veteran who has struggled at times this season. He has to be better come Super Sunday.
46. Dan Connolly, C, Patriots -- He is playing for the injured Dan Koppen, which is a step down. He is a fighter, but big powerful players give him trouble.
47. Steve Weatherford, P, Giants -- He's a reliable punter who has been consistent all season long.
48. James Ihedigbo, S, Patriots -- He is a solid run-support safety, but he is beatable against the pass.
