Letter: U.S. on path to ruin
Thank you, national media, for the re-election of Barack Hussein Obama, this newspaper included. Instead of fact-based news, you have lied for this man, ignored his record of failures, glossed over his laziness and missteps and deified him ad nauseam. Were his skin color, cool persona and political correctness more important than the security and national respect of this once-great nation? Look for our enemies to test his mettle because they, like many of us, see him as weak and inexperienced. His lack of love for this nation is also to their benefit.
He will gut our military, again lower our national credit rating, turn his back on Israel as he embraces the Muslim Brotherhood, make deals with Russia, advocate for more taxpayer-funded abortions (and birth control), adhere to black liberation theology, and continue to borrow trillions from China to subsidize his constituency. Before he leaves office, he will have financially gutted the United States. There will be more takers than producers, as there are almost now.
Will the media report these facts? No, they will continue to blame George W. Bush and rich people, and the pathetically misinformed and chronic moochers will continue to wear these rose colored glasses.

Customer Reviews of Xrite Colormunki Photo Monitor Printer and Projector Profiler Kit
Very good hardware. Software is a mixed bag5/10/2013
I bought this to replace an X-rite colorimeter and overall am happy with it. The hardware works well and inclusion of a ColorChecker Mini in the box was a great bonus. The monitor profiling software does not work well with my monitor (Dell U2410) but I believe that is due to idiosyncrasies of the monitor. Using this device through ArgyllCMS software however yields great results. For printer profiling, the bundled software is very good. I think I still marginally prefer ArgyllCMS, but both work.

The 5-4 decision upheld a state law that allows investigators to take genetic information from arrestees, a practice followed by the federal government and about half the states. Police generally compare suspects' DNA to records from other cases in hopes of developing leads.

Memphis Metro area loaded with top prep basketball teams, stars with bright futures
1. Can Craigmont repeat?
After a wonderful run to the Class AAA championship last March, Chiefs coach David Taylor is being careful not to dwell on the 'r' word.
"I'm taking on the mindset of not repeating," he said. "My thing is win one this year. Y'all win one. last year's team won one, now y'all win one."
The Chiefs -- who went nine or 10 deep last season -- lost four regulars from last year's team that defeated Melrose in a sub-state game and then beat White Station in the semifinals en route to finishing 33-5 and winning the title. There will be some new faces in key roles, but Taylor said he is hoping for steady progress as the season unfolds.
Three starters return -- highly-regarded junior point guard Sam Craft, last year's state tournament MVP, sweet-shooting senior Robert Houston and 6-6 senior Darius Gipson.
"Right now, we're an OK team," Taylor said. "By (the end of) December, I want to be a good team. By February, I want to be a great team.
"Our young guys will have to grow up quick, get used to the process and get used to the tempo. We've got some new pieces to the puzzle, but by February you'll see the same Craigmont team you saw last year.
"We've got some tricks up our sleeve."
2. If not Craigmont, then who?
The Chiefs kept a remarkable streak going last season, becoming the fourth straight -- and fourth different -- Memphis team to win the Class AAA crown. And if the Chiefs falter, there are plenty of teams ready to make it five.
Ridgeway enters the year as the area's only nationally-ranked team; the Roadrunners start the season ranked 36th in the ESPN Rise poll.
All five starters return -- led by 6-0 guard Cameron Golden and 6-2 guard Adam Weary -- and the Roadrunners will get a big boost from 6-7 Cordova transfer Craig Hill.
Southwind won't have Jarnell Stokes, who was ruled ineligible by the TSSAA, but still has an excellent team, led by 5-star junior Johnathan Williams and athletic junior Jajuan Johnson.
District 16-AAA will be a battle as always, with Melrose, East, White Station and Central all in the mix.
3. Can Central's girls make history in 2012?
Central's accomplishment last year in winning the Class AAA state title was rare; the Lady Warriors were the first MIAA team since Melrose in 1985 to win a Class AAA championship.
Now the goal is to repeat, something no Memphis-area girls team in any classification has ever done.
Eastern powers Shelbyville and Oak Ridge are the only teams to have accomplished the feat.
"I think what we accomplished last year makes us want to work even harder this year," coach Niki Bray said. "This year, they've put in more time and been even more dedicated. My kids are so competitive, I actually have to give them time off."
Although it ended with a championship, 2010-2011 was a very trying year for the Lady Warriors. A Central High student, a friend of many of the players, was murdered last December and then a few weeks before the state tournament began former Lady Warriors standout Tina Stewart was stabbed to death in her dorm room at Middle Tennessee State.
"We knew we'd have a learning curve," Bray said. "What we didn't expect was so many deaths. The kids showed their true character at a most difficult time."
All five starters return for Central, headed by 5-8 guard Danielle Ballard, who's headed to LSU, Georgia Tech-bound wing Aaliyah Whiteside and junior Nina Davis, last year's Best of the Preps player of the year.
Bray is also excited about junior newcomer Tia Hyman, a shooting guard, and senior forward Jalen O'Bannon.
"I tell Jalen all the time that when she wants to be, she can be the best player on this team," Bray said. "And that's not a slap to Aaliyah or Danielle; it's to motivate her, to show her how talented she is.
"That's why I'm so glad that she waited until (the late period) to sign. Her stock is really going to rise."
As they have in recent years, Central will play a national schedule, which started with games against three ranked teams in the Turkey Jamm tournament, which the Lady Warriors hosted. Central's fourth game is Saturday against visiting Murfreesboro Riverdale in a rematch of last year's state final, which Central won, 72-59.
"Rankings are all well and good, but showing up and playing the game is the reason we toss it up," Bray said.
4. What's the scoop in Division 2?
Like last season, it could be a very busy March at Briarcrest, with both the boys and girls teams looking like good bets to return to the Division 2-AA state tournament.
John Harrington's Saints went 20-10 last season, losing a heartbreaker to Chattanooga McCallie in the state semifinals.
"I told them (recently), 'guys, you know how much I love to watch tape of our games,'" he said. "But that was the first time we watched that tape. It brought back bad memories, but it brought back ownership for us.
"Missing free throws, turning the ball over, those were things that were our responsibility."
Highly-regarded 6-8 junior Austin Nichols, who averaged 15 points and 4 blocks last season, leads the way. Senior guards Chris Jones and DeMarc Richardson each averaged 14 points last year.
Still, Harrington knows just making it back to Nashville will be an accomplishment in itself.
"In some ways, just getting out of Memphis and getting a good seed is the hardest thing," he said. "Excluding me, there are some great coaches in our league and all our league games are on Friday nights, in front of 2,000 fans.
"I think MUS, Christian Brothers and St. Benedict are all going to have very good years."
Briarcrest's girls lost to Chattanooga Girls Preparatory, 55-50, in the D2-AA final last season to end the year 24-6.
This year, the Saints will benefit from a full year with Lauren Douglas. The 6-1 senior only played in three games last year after becoming eligible following a transfer and averaged 18.7 points and 7 rebounds. She's already signed with Northwestern.
Fayette Academy and Harding's girls made the state tournament in D2-A and will contend again this season.
"The expectations are real high," said Fayette Academy coach Rick Sullivan, who's team went 28-2 a year ago. "It's not going to be easy, but we're looking for a big year."
Senior Samantha Reeves, who has signed with CBU and junior Emily Reeves will continue to "pull the wagon" for the Lady Vikings, as Sullivan put it.
Harding welcomes back all five starters from a 21-8 team, led by dynamic guard Kaylah Keys, who enters her junior year already well over 1,000 points. She led the city in scoring last year at 24.4 points per game.
5. What players that haven't been mentioned do you need to go and check out?
Ole Miss signee Martavious Newby does it all for Booker T. Washington. Last year, the 6-3 guard averaged 22.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 4.7 steals per game. The Warriors drop down to Class A this season and should battle Westwood to see who makes it to state.
Bartlett sharpshooter Anthlon Bell, a 6-3 senior who has signed with Arkansas, has a chance to become the Panthers all-time leading scorer with a big year. He averaged 18.7 points last year and teams with senior Marquarious Boddie (18.3) to form one of the area's best backcourts.
Manassas has a budding star in senior guard Dontavious Sears, who averaged 18 points last year.
Two promising big men are worth keeping an eye on. Evangelical Christian School's 6-9 freshman Skal Labissiere is emerging as one of the top prospects in the class of 2015 and will get much more playing time this season following the graduation of all five starters from last year's Division 2-A state champs.
And at Oakhaven, all eyes will be on 7-1 center Samuel Edwards. Former University of Memphis star Marvin Alexander has been working with Edwards extensively on the fine points of post play and Edwards, a junior, is improving rapidly.

I received 8oz of this cleanser with my Clarisonic. I didn't try it, however, until I saw a Philosophy show on QVC. This particular product was advertised as a "gentle" cleanser that "won't strip your skin." Ha! I tried it one time and then gave it away. It left my skin way too dry, tight, and stripped feeling for me to give it a second chance. I didn't even like the scent - it had an herbal-y smell that reminded me of bug spray. The texture was the only decent thing about this product...it was just the right consistency to use with my Clarisonic brush. I'm glad I didn't shell out the $ to buy this myself.

I've been on and off with this face wash for many years. I have many girlfriends who swears by this product. I like that it gives a nice lather but doesn't do anything different than my Olay foaming face wash I buy during the 'off' period for less than a 1/4 of the price!

I'm torn between loving and hating this face wash. I received this face wash as a present and would never have bought it since it is so expensive and it is not a cruelty free brand. However, I do not like to waste anything so I ended up using this face wash and I have a lot of good things to say about it: it smells nice, it takes all the makeup off my face, when I use it with my clarisonic my skin cleared up and I didn't have any breakouts while using this product, it is gentle on the eyes, and I love the creamy non foamy texture. BUT there are some things I don't like about this product: it is NOT A CRUELTY FREE BRAND, there are sulfates and chemicals, there is yellow dye and the packaging sucks...it would be so much better to have a pump especially for the price you're paying. All in all I'd feel so guilty purchasing a cruelty product BUT it did clear up my skin and kept my skin clear so if someone else bought it for me id definitely accept the offer.

I've heard a lot of good things about this cleanser and after reading a magazine article on it I decided to give it a go. After a few week or more of using it I've formed my opinion.
What I Like:
-smells very nice! smells like lemons.
-foams up so nicely, a little goes a long way.
-it doesn't make my face feel tight or dry, makes my face feels very soft and moisturized.
-really did seem to get my face very clean. left no residue.
What I Don't Like:
-after about a week of use I started getting very painful cystic breakouts. Three in the cheek area, two on my eyebrows, one of my chin and even one on my nose. They're taking a lot of time to clear up :( I know this is what did it because it's the only thing I've changed in my routine and my diet habits are very healthy.
-after seeing the ingredients I'm embarrassed that I ever bough this stuff. It's full of parabens and sulfates and even contains A YELLOW COLOR DYE IN IT. REALLY?! Why does there need to be a color dye in a face wash? Frankly, it's a soap full of junk. No wonder I broke out.
-the price is also a little high. Ranges from 23 to 52 dollars depending on the size. Not spending that much money on something that's full of gross chemicals.
All in all, I'm very disappointed. It seemed like a nice cleanser at first but over time it really upset my skin and I'm still trying to get rid of some of these blemishes. I learned my lesson. READ THE INGREDIENTS before you spend your money please. There are lots of other cheaper options out there that don't have such strange ingredients. Don't end up like me.

I have sensitive skin and this brought me out in a red rash across my cheeks therefore I wouldn't buy this again. However my skin was very soft and moisturised after using and I would recommend this if you had dry skin which was not sensitive. I didn't like the smell though, smells a bit like insect repellent!

It was my 29th birthday gift from my best friend in Nottingham. I've been using this cleanser every night for half a year now (first use on 10 Dec 2013) and this cleanser is AWESOME!!! Can be used to cleanse the eye area of makeup. Does not irritate my skin whatsoever. It removes all my makeup and is very gentle on the skin. It doesn't "strip" my face and cause major drying effect. My skin feels soft and refreshed after using it. So far I have not had any breakout from this product. During the day, I would use my Nivea Aqua Sensation facial wash or Liquid Neutrogena to wash my face.
Sephora in Malaysia just started carrying Philosophy brand in store and does not sell the 24oz bottle like the one my friend gave me. They only have the 16oz sized bottle and it's very pricey though. Too bad cos I love the convenient pump 24oz have. Will continue to use this until something better (and cheaper) come along.

I'm in love with this cleanser, all my life I thought using drugstore-brand cleansers would be more than enough for my face i'm usually quite money savvy when it comes to purchasing cleansers until i stumbled upon this. Initially i purchased Hope in a Jar moisturizer, however since my cleanser was about to finish i decided to give this one a try.
First usage already left me jawdropped. It amazes me how clean and soft my face felt using this with my clarisonic.This thing leaves a crazy soft feeling on my skin, my makeup is thoroughly removed (I wear only under eyes concealers, eyebrows,and blush) and most of all it doesn't dry my skin up! I would apply Hope In A Jar (for all skin types) after cleansing at night and i would wake up to the softest, smoothest skin I've ever felt, everyday. These 2 products work amaaaazing together. Both are my holy grail products. I'm now head over heels over Philosophy!!

I've always been skeptical of the Philosophy brand because I just thought it was all hype and all about the packaging and fancy quotes on the bottles. I was wrong!
I bought the Radiant & Refined kit from Ulta and I'm in love. This cleanser really does melt off makeup and impurities. I wear a long-wear foundation that is waterproof so normally I have to wash my face two times to truly get it clean. But with Purity that's usually not the case! Sure sometimes I use it twice just for good measure but most of the time I'm left with clean skin without any makeup left over. It also takes off my mascara and eyeliner very well. I still need to use a makeup remover but it's not terrible. The smell to me is more...alcohol-ish and less like rosemary like some people have said. It doesn't leave me dry or tight, just very smooth and clean. It lathers very well. I have very combo skin; I'll flaky where I'm also oily. It's the worst! But after using this along with the serum and hope in a jar my skin is looking absolutely amazing! It's never felt this smooth or been so regulated. I have less breakouts and I rarely use my acne spot treatments anymore when a breakout does pop up. I feel like this regimine just takes care of them! Overall this is a great cleanser for oily to normal/combo skin. Those with very dry or mature skin I would not recommend that you use this. I feel like it could be too drying.

I have combo skin,oily t-zone but the rest is normal. My skin also very clogged prone. I really wanted to like this cleanser but couldn't. Yes,it did take off my makeup but it gave me pimples and bumps. I didn't even finish the whole bottle,I gave it to my mom who has a mature,dry skin but she didn't like it either. I think at the end she threw it out after only tried it twice. For someone who like the smell of tea tree oil somehow I dislike the scent of purity cleanser,smelled like rosemary or some kind of herb. Everybody's skin react differently and mine just didn't like purity cleanser.

The project restored the original paint scheme to the Woodrow Wilson Boyhood Home.
Long before Woodrow Wilson entered the presidency in 1913, he was a normal teenage kid who liked baseball and watching trains. In 1871, just before his 14th birthday, his father moved the family from Augusta, Ga., to Columbia, S.C., and though they would spend only two-and-a-half years there, the place would have a strong impact on shaping the nation's 28th president....

Dynamo make most of Cameron's flexibility
By Jose de Jesus Ortiz | September 7, 2011 | Updated: September 8, 2011 12:03am
Photo By Nick de la Torre/Chronicle
Despite having to play the second place team in the division without a key starter, Dominic Kinnear's options and flexibility might never have been better this season.
Photo By Jeff Vinnick/Getty
The defense was stout with Geoff Cameron returning to center back, the position that earned him an All-Star nod this year.
More Information
Sept. 4: Dynamo 3, Monterrey 0.
MLS record: 8-8-11.
Saturday: At Sporting Kansas City, 3 p.m.
TV/radio: TeleFutura; 950 AM and 850 AM (Spanish).
Four days before visiting Sporting Kansas City, Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear was in no rush to set his lineup for the crucial Eastern Conference match. Yet despite having to play the division's second-place team without a key starter, Kinnear might not have had better options and flexibility all season.
With starting center back Bobby Boswell serving a one-game suspension because of an accumulation of yellow cards, Kinnear will definitely have to alter his lineup this week. Barring injuries, his options are quite tempting because Brazilian Luiz Camargo lived up to the hype Sunday night against Mexican power Monterrey.
Defense shines
Although Camargo had played in a reserve league match, the friendly against Monterrey was his first test against first-team-caliber competition. Despite missing three regular starters and a key backup who were with their respective national teams, Kinnear's club had one of its most impressive outings of the year while dominating the reigning CONCACAF club champions 3-0.
The defense was stout with All-Star Geoff Cameron returning to center back with Boswell while Andre Hainault and Jermaine Taylor were on national-team duty.
The midfield also controlled the pace with Cameron moving up to complement Adam Moffat, who has been one of the most important players on the team since Kinnear landed him from Portland in exchange for Mike Chabala, Lovell Palmer and allocation money.
"I felt really good during the game," Camargo said. "The team treated me super well, and they've helped me adjust on the pitch."
Moving parts
Kinnear acknowledged it's quite possible to see Cameron back at center back in an emergency situation like the one the team had Sunday with center back backup Eddie Robinson injured.
"It depends on how the game goes," Kinnear said. "We've talked about it. We know he can play back there. It definitely makes your team a little more flexible that way."
While All-Star midfielder Brad Davis is a legitimate league MVP candidate and the club's main service provider and forward Brian Ching is the top scoring threat, there's no doubt Cameron is the Dynamo's most versatile player.
Other Dynamo players may be able to perform well at other positions, but Cameron has demonstrated an ability to excel at center back, holding midfielder or attacking midfielder. And once Camargo rounds into shape, Kinnear's options will be quite appealing.
"It is good to have that flexibility," Kinnear said. "I think it's always important to have guys not just be tied to one position. Luiz can play holding, can play attack, and so can Geoff. Geoff can play center back."

Last Week: 10-4
Season: 80-36
Record Picking Redskins Games: 5-3
Against the Spread: 16-13-2
Lock of the Week: 4-3-1
Last Week's Pats: I was on fire during the early games on Sunday, going 9-0 and missing both the final scores of the Redskins-Lions game and Cardinals-Panthers game by a total of one point. I also correctly predicted the Saints to beat the Chargers in a shootout and for the Dolphins to upset the Bills.
Last Week's Apologies: I quickly went downhill after the early games, as I missed on the Steelers beating the Giants and missed badly on the Seahawks-49ers game. I also blew my lock of the week on Monday Night, as the Titans easily covered the spread against the Colts.
This Week's Picks:
New York Jets at Buffalo: Bills fans must loathe me. I haven't shown Buffalo much respect in my picks this year, and it's not because I don't think they are a solid team. But once again, I'm smelling upset in a Bills game. By no means am I in love with the Jets (their defense was pathetic last week), but I'm going with a gut feeling here.
Jets 23, Bills 20
Detroit at Chicago: I don't think the Bears will roll over the Lions quite like they did in Detroit a few weeks ago, but this game will not be close late.
Bears 27, Lions 17
Jacksonville at Cincinnati: I've reached a verdict on the Jaguars: They are a poorly coached team. Jack Del Rio is not doing a good job down there-- their inconsistency points to shaky leadership from the top. Having said that, the Bengals are just what the doctor ordered for a struggling team.
Jaguars 28, Bengals 14
Baltimore at Cleveland: The Browns seem to have gotten back on track a bit and I think they will avenge their earlier loss to the Ravens.
Browns 19, Ravens 16
Tampa Bay at Kansas City: The Chiefs fought hard in their loss to the Jets last week, and I think Herm Edwards is probably a good coach to keep that team motivated. But the bottom line is that they just aren't any good. The Tampa defense will smother them this week.
Bucs 24, Chiefs 9
Houston at Minnesota: Quietly, the Texans have run off three wins in a row. Houston my pre-season surprise team and they let me down during the first quarter of the season, so I'm a tad gun shy to pick them on the road at this point. So, I'm going to weenie-out and take the Vikings, although I think this is close to a 50/50 game.
Vikings 27, Texans 24
Arizona at St. Louis: I think this is close to a must-win game for Arizona if they want to be able to look themselves in the mirror right now. If they lose to St. Louis, they will drop to 1-4 on the road, making it difficult to take them very seriously. And this won't be an easy task, as the Rams are playing good football right now. I'm going to roll the dice and say Kurt Warner finds a way to lead his team to victory at his old stomping grounds.
Cardinals 30, Rams 24
Green Bay at Tennessee: I missed badly last week, picking the Titans to go down to the Colts. I'm sure some will view that choice and my pick this week as a slap in the face to the Tennessee, but I really do respect them and view them as a very viable Super Bowl threat. But it's tough to win em' all in the NFL, and I like the Packers coming off a bye week, playing a team on short rest.
Packers 17, Titans 14
Miami at Denver: The Broncos defense is so bad that they could lose to anyone at any time right now. But I'm casting my vote this week in their favor, thinking that Jay Cutler gets back on track after a miserable game in New England his last time out.
Broncos 31, Dolphins 24
Dallas at New York Giants: It's funny, with the way things are in the NFL right now, I can see almost any team winning any game, but for some reason, I just can't see Brad Johnson leading the Cowboys to victory at the Meadowlands this week. I'd pick the Giants 10 out 10 times in this match-up right now.
Giants 27, Cowboys 16
Atlanta at Oakland: I wasn't surprised the Raiders lost week in Baltimore, but I was a bit surprised at how poorly they played. Even though they were putrid last week, I'm picking them to win at home, as I see Atlanta regressing to the mean a bit.
Raiders 20, Falcons 17
Philadelphia at Seattle: This is another game that tempts me to choose an upset. Seattle has been horrid all season, but they seem to find a few things that worked last week in San Francisco. If Matt Hasselbeck was healthy, I think I'd lead towards the Seahawks, but I'm not sure Seneca Wallace can get it done against a tough Philly squad.
Eagles 23, Seahawks 17
New England at Indianapolis: Picking the Colts this week because it could be argued that a loss virtually ends their season in terms of serious contention. I'm not sure they are going to let that happen quite yet.
Colts 29, Patriots 17
Pittsburgh at Washington: Jim Zorn admitted this week that the Redskins are worn down both physically and mentally right now. Although no one likes to admit such things, their 6-2 record and the fact that they are playing an AFC team this week, makes this game far from a must-win. I also think this is just a plain bad match-up for the Redskins, who probably won't be able to count on another 120 yard performance from Clinton Portis this week. Look for the Steelers to win a rugged one.
Steelers 20, Redskins 16
4 To Score
Lock of the Week:
Browns (even) vs. Ravens: Really like the Browns straight-up here.
2. Jets (+5.5) at Bills. I could certainly see the Bills winning the game, but I think it's close.
3. Packers (+6) at Titans. Tennessee made a fool out of me last week, so I'll give them another chance.
4. Jaguars (-7) at Bengals. Not sure Ryan Fitzpatrick can keep the Bengals that close.

Does this RAID system have 2 - 2TB drives in it or does it have 2 - 4TB drives / What is the real storage capability?
I understand RAIDs stripe data & even 4 - 4TB drives only gives you 4TB of storage, not 16TBs.
- Asked by Stephen C from Needham
G-Technology G-RAID Dual-Drive Storage System
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
RAID 0 is striped, which is to say, half is written to each drive, so you don't lose capacity, except whatever you normally lose for system overhead.
RAID 1 however is mirrored, so each drive has all data, thus giving half the total for usable space.
- Answered by Scott W from Topeka
Total capacity is 4TB. If you use RAID, your effect storage will be less.

J.Willis Sketchbook - 01 - *** Updated Nov. 1, 2009 ***
Hello and welcome to my sketchbook thread.
Here you will see my attempts to a.) overcome being intimidated artistically by my wife, the lovely and formidable Teigrob, b.) track my progress and c.) draw as well as my bride.
I have a loooooooong ways to go to reach her level, but you never reach the top of the mountain by just looking at the top from the bottom. It will take awhile as I stop drawing from time to time because of 1.) frustration at lack of perceived progress, 2.) life, specifically my two lovely children, and 3.) work, I work for the Evil Empire / Collective.
I decided to start with a candid shot of my sketchbook cover. I'm still a kid when it comes to stickers. Coupled with the fact that it makes it easy to identify my sketchbook at a glance.
The actual sketchbook page are all from reference. The woman is from Art Models book. The reference call Amazon Stringing Her Bow. A master copy of Michelangelo and Bridgman.
Structure of form, proportions, and perspective are my areas of greatest weakness.
Crits welcomed.

Studies: The Figure and Life Drawing
Been a busy time these last few months. Win 7 shipped, daughter turned two, and I am now severely asthmatic and not sleeping much due to lack of air. But I'm working, alive, and have a beautiful wife and children.
Some life drawings at the Microsoft Company Meeting, studies from Walt Reed's The Figure, and life drawings based on studies in The Figure. Specifically female hip structure.
Also tried my hand at a self-portrait for International Self-Portrait Day.

The location and landscaping was really nice. The flowers around the property were really beautiful. The fitness center and nature walks are pleasant. The pool and cabanas were also pleasant for lounging. The reception area was tastefully arranged. The free coffee and tea in the gym lounge was also great.
The interior decor of the room left much to be desired. The room felt dark and depressing, and the decor was really hideous and not welcoming. The signage around the property was also poor, so when I had a guest come to visit me, it took several minutes of providing directions before my guest was able to find my room. A basic sign saying "Rooms 700-1000 --->" would be incredibly helpful on such a large and sprawling property. The coffee provided in the Sunset restaurant was dreadful - the acrid, burnt taste could not be masked even with generous amounts of cream and sugar. Please fix this!

The Chaminade setting is fabulous. It is nestled in the mountains that overlook forest and the beautiful Monterey Bay. There are patios with tables that overlook these views. The breakfast buffet was a good value ($15-18) for the selections offered, especially considering the dining area overlooked both forest and ocean.
There was an additional $25 per night resort fee required at check in, in addition to the price I paid through Kayak. I thought the resort fee was included in the listed Kayak price. Also, the rooms are basic, with no safe, microwave, or mini fridge.

I booked a night for the memorial day weekend for my young family to stay. For close to 400 dollar, and all the positive review, I expect a decent place to stay next to the beach, until it turn into a nightmare. When I show up around 5pm on Sunday, they seem to be surprised. The gentalman was polite, he checked me in and told me they have a very nice unit at street level. When I was down there, at this so-called "6A" unit, it was basically the worse you could get, much worse than any motel you can find. Here's why: it's a very small 1 bedroom unit with small living room and a kitchen, right next to the pedestrian traffic with a very old and dirty front door. Walking into the unit it smell funny, and there are spots on the bedsheet, the floor is sticky. I was wondering why wife would book such a motel, so I walk back to the parking lot to bring her and our baby down, and my wife was all mad and told me how much we are paying for this "very nice" unit. I went back to the front desk and ask for a different room (twice) and they eventually told me the truth: they are over booked and the only alternative is that I have to go to a different hotel own by the same company a few blocks away (but obviously there's no more beach view, though there isn't one for this street level unit in the first place). I went to the Bay Front Motel as told and was offered 2 room to choose from, which aren't a lot better. WIthout much choice, I pick one room and pay more than I could have than when booking Kayak (though they told me they have offered a great discount due to the inconvenient they have brought). When I was able to finally settle down, it was after 8pm, so there is no more sunset viewing on the beach. For anyone who have stayed at this hotel, and wondering what "6A" is like, you can go down to the street, and there is one (yes, only one) unit in between a bunch of garage doors. Would you pay close to 400 a night for something like that? In case if you book through Kayak and was offer this street unit, my advice is you can same your time and ask for a refund right away.

While looking for a place to celebrate our wedding anniversary, I came across the Inn and Depot Hill and did a little research. After finding only good things about it, I booked the Paris room for the weekend. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised at the location and its proximity to the beach and shops; everything is just a short walk down the hill. The B&B and its grounds are very picturesque and I immediately felt comfortable there. The staff was professional and courteous, and our room was very charming and nicely outfitted. I was pleased to discover how quiet it was and my husband and I were able to sleep in and not be disturbed even though we slept with the windows open! The breakfasts were pretty good, and the appetizers in the evening were tasty as well. My only criticism is that the custom made bedspread was pretty worn and in one spot worn through. And this is just a matter of preference, but we are used to a king sized bed at home, so the queen size was a bit cozier than ...

The decoration and the use of real wood was quite nice. The reception desk is a huge piece of tree that makes the lobby looks pretty nice.
The room was ok, but very noisy, very. Aside from being close to elevator and hearing the noise from there, every few minutes we would hear an electrical switch noise. So we had to turn on the fan on the AC system to cover that (or make it go away). Definitely not something to look into after a day of hiking when you need some sleep. Also, when we ordered room service and asked for a large bottle of water, I got a 16oz bottle, and saying this is the biggest bottle of water that we have!

We had one night on our honeymoon that we didn't plan anything for, and we ended up booking Hotel Paradox the same day we stayed. We were tired from a long week of exploring and this was a great clean place. Usually go to hotel bars/restaurants as a last resort but we had a few drinks here - great drinks and the bartender was really nice and gave us some suggestions for what to do in our short stay in Santa Cruz.
Layout of the standard room was a little tricky with 2 people - you could not open the bathroom door and closet door at the same time. Not devastating but would get annoying if we were to stay longer.

It's a rough day to be an aerospace reporter. The juiciest story of the decade has been lost. EADS confirms that it will not compete for the Air Force One replacement contract. Read Flight's news story. Here is the statement from EADS North America:
"In 2007 at the USAF's request, EADS North America providedtechnical information and answered questions regarding several of our widebodycommercial aircraft as the service conducted its Analysis of Alternatives (AoA)to recapitalize the current fleet of presidential aircraft.
"EADS North America's strategy for growth in the
USis based on bringing value to the USwarfighter; making industrial investments inthe and insourcing high technology defense and aerospace jobs. After carefulreview, we've determined that participation in the AF-1 program will not helpus meet these business objectives." US
"Though the company will not respond to this RFI, we remainfocused on once again winning the KC-X competition with Northrop Grumman,delivering the UH-72A LUH to the US Army and meeting the needs of our USdefense and homeland security customers.
"We reiterate our strong commitment to the US Department ofDefense and to supporting the warfighter with our products and services."
"Much like our refueling tankers, Air Force One should be made inAmerica on existing lines by the experts that already know how to dothe job right. Air Force One is no place for a government-backedforeign company to learn on the job. There is no need to build newplants or outsource this vital work all over the world. We need to doeverything we can to create jobs at home and keep the jobs we have andthis is another way we can keep that promise."

Victoria L. Dunckley, M.D., is an integrative child and adolescent psychiatrist specializing in treating children with complex diagnoses and/or treatment-resistant conditions, using both conventional and complementary methods. She consults regularly with schools, multi-disciplinary treatment teams, and the courts, and is a speaker for parents' groups and mental health trainings. Her clinical practice is divided between the private and public sectors in Orange and Los Angeles counties.
Dr. Dunckley's work with difficult cases lead her to seek alternative and complementary interventions when usual treatments failed. By working with and learning from occupational and physical therapists, sensory integration specialists, nutritionists, endocrinologists, and functional medicine practitioners, her clinical expertise came to reflect a more integrated, holistic approach, including use of vitamins/minerals, herbal supplements, and antioxidants. She became especially interested on how manipulating a child's external environment could produce profound changes on the internal one, and how that in turn could minimize not only symptoms, but also psychotropic medication use.
After receiving a biology degree in 1992 at the University of California San Diego, Dr. Dunckley received her medical training at Albany Medical College in New York, then returned to the west coast for her psychiatric residency and child/adolescent fellowship at U.C. Irvine Medical Center. Since then, she's worked in a variety of community mental health settings including residential treatment centers, group homes, and clinics catering to adopted children, transitional age youths, and Regional Center clients. In her private practice she has extensive experience treating tics/Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, bipolar disorder, attachment disorder, and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). Whether in the private or public setting, she's known for giving her patients and their families as much time as they need, and goes the extra mile to help each patient not just improve or get symptom relief, but achieve maximum potential.
A Diplomate of both the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Dr. Dunckley is also a member of the American Psychiatric Association and the American Holistic Medical Association.
Dr. Dunckley has written multiple articles on the unique challenges modern society poses to children's mental health, and has a forthcoming book on how to mitigate the negative effects of electronic screens on brain, mind, and character development.

• A major goal of the DOD is to reduce the logistical footprint of deployed forces, primarily though savings in fuel consumption.
• The 21CTP industrial partners and their suppliers need to work together to make idle reduction technologies an affordable and cost-effective part of their vehicles' design, seamlessly integrating their choice of technologies into their products.
• Local, state, and regional air quality agencies have teamed up with the EPA and DOE's Clean Cities coalitions to form regional collaboratives to address diesel engine emissions, with idling reduction as a major component of their efforts.
21CTP Engine Idle Reduction Goal 2. Expand the current educational programs for truck and bus owners and operators to implement enabling technologies and operational procedures to eliminate unnecessary idling.
The DOE has established or encouraged the following initiatives to educate stakeholders on the benefits of idle reduction and the opportunities to implement technologies and procedures to eliminate unnecessary idling:
• The EPA, through the SmartWay Transport Partnership, has sponsored numerous idle reduction outreach efforts and events, including technical papers, articles, and presentations.
• The DOE Clean Cities Program has sponsored outreach activities to educate Clean Cities' coordinators and fleet managers about the benefits of idling reductions and the technologies available, through white papers, webcasts, and presentations at various professional meetings. The DOE has produced idle reduction fact sheets and other educational materials.
• Through the Clean Cities Program, the DOE has broadened its involvement in idling reduction to include light- and medium-duty vehicles in addition to heavy-duty vehicles.
• The "National Idling Reduction Network News" is a DOE-sponsored electronic newsletter whose primary distribution each month reaches almost 1,500 readers.
• The DOE has produced idling reduction fact sheets and other educational materials to make drivers and fleet owners aware of reasons not to idle.
• The following DOE and industry publications address idling reduction: Argonne National Laboratory's Idling: Cruising the Fuel Inefficiency Expressway (ANL, 2009) and Cummins' Idle Talk: How the Regulations Affect You (Cummins, 2008).
21CTP Engine Idle Reduction Goal 3. Investigate a mix of incentives and regulations to encourage trucks and buses to find other more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly ways to provide for their power needs at rest.
The ARRA of 2009 has provided the following funding for idle-reduction-related projects (DOE, 2011):
• $65 million for the purchase and installation of idle reduction equipment for on-road diesel vehicles and educational outreach about the benefits of idling reduction (see Goal 2). This project includes APUs, fuel-operated heaters, battery-powered air conditioners, engine block heaters, and engine start-up/shutoff idle control systems and other emission reduction projects, such as engine re-powers (the replacement of an in-use, existing engine with a remanufactured engine or a new engine with lower emissions), replacements, or installation of diesel oxidation catalysts in cases where these projects were bundled with idling reduction projects. Examples of projects funded include the following:4—Installing 163 diesel-fired heaters in the city of Chicago fleets and 155 units in the city of Portland, Oregon, fleets;
—Augmenting state funding for the installation of 562 idle reduction technologies by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce program that competitively awards money for APUs to truckers;
—Providing funding in Nebraska to equip approximately 187 vehicles with EPA-verified idling reduction equipment;
—Adding fuel-fired heaters to school buses in Mississippi, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Maryland, South Dakota, and North Dakota; and
—Retrofitting of 180 long-haul trucks with APUs by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment 5,6
• $32 million for truck stop electrification (TSE). The funds will provide for the purchase and installation of wayside single-system (no onboard equipment required) and dual-system EPS (DOE, 2011).
—A single-system EPS supplies all needed services through a duct inserted into the cab window. Single-system electrification requires no retrofit on the truck, and therefore minimal upfront cost by the user;
—A dual-system EPS is simply a plug at a parking spot that enables the trucker to tap into the electric power grid to power onboard electrical devices. Dual-system electrification involves installing some combination of an inverter/charger, electric engine block heater, electric fuel heater, and electric heating/cooling device for the cab and sleeper conditioning, and electric idle control on the truck.
Currently, the single system is more widespread.

China Soon May Need to Import Rare Earths, Mining Official Says
China, which controls about 95 percent of global shipments of rare earths, may start importing some of the material to meet rising domestic demand, according to Liu Junhua, a Chinese official.
"China may eventually need to import the materials," Liu, the deputy secretary for Baotou Rare Earth High-Tech Industrial Development Zone Committee said today in an interview after speaking at the International Rare Earth Summit in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There's a "strong possibility of importing heavy rare earths" in the next three to four years, he said through an interpreter.
Domestic Chinese demand for rare earths has increased as much as 200 percent in the last 12 months, with almost half of that increase coming since the start of the year, Liu said.
Rare earths are a group of 17 elements; the mines in the Baotou region produce so-called light rare-earths including lanthanum, cerium and samarium. Heavy rare-earth production, concentrated in the south of China, includes the elements dysprosium, gadolinium and terbium.
The Chinese government slashed export quotas by 72 percent in the second half of last year for the elements that have uses ranging from high-end magnets in U.S. weapons to catalysts in petroleum refining. The country has committed to a 35 percent cut in the first half of 2011 from the level a year earlier. Export quotas for the second half of 2011 may be announced only in July, Liu said.
China has about 36 percent of global rare-earth reserves and the U.S. has 13 percent, according to the U.S. Energy Department.
Japanese Consumption
Japan, the world's largest rare-earth importer, saw prices of the materials almost triple last year after China clamped down on exports and also briefly banned shipments to Japan, Furkhat Faizulla, marketing manager, Advanced Material Japan Corp. said at the conference organized by Asian Metal.
Although normal shipments have resumed, the export license fee charged by China has risen to as much as $70 a kilogram from $2 a kilogram last year, Faizulla said: "We are the importers and we see the situation."
Restricted supply of heavy rare-earths will continue for the next two to five years if China continues its current policies, Faizulla said.
If all other rare-earth mining projects in the world come online as planned, China's share of global supplies may drop to 70 percent in the next five years from more than 90 percent now, Faizulla said.
New rare-earth projects in development include Molycorp Inc., of Greenwood Village, Colorado, owner of the largest rare-earth deposit outside China; Canada's Great Western Minerals Group Ltd., of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan; and Avalon Rare Metals Inc. of Toronto. Lynas Corp. of Sydney, Australia also is developing projects in the country.
Countering China
U.S. lawmakers including Senators Charles Schumer and Debbie Stabenow today called on President Barack Obama's administration to block Chinese mining projects as a step to counter China's curbs on rare-earth exports.
The Democratic lawmakers -- Schumer from New York and Stabenow from Michigan -- said in a statement they would write to Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner and Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, asking for action.
The senators will ask Geithner to block World Bank funding for any Chinese mining projects, and ask Salazar to prohibit Chinese-funded work in the U.S., according to the statement.
Prices for some rare earths jumped more than 1,000 percent last year because of the restrictions, Molycorp said in December.
Global demand for the elements may more than double by 2020 from 125,000 metric tons last year, according to Molycorp's filing last month with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
