Darebin Arts' Speakeasy and Black Honey to Present MC PLATYPUS & QUEEN KOALA'S HIP HOP JAMBOREE, April 1-14
MC Platypus and Queen Koala's Hip Hop Jamboree sees multi-talented 'Candy B' Bowers return to the stage with her sister Kim 'Busty Beatz' Bowers in an interactive musical comedy for kids aged 5-12 as part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2013.
MC Platypus has a serious lisp and was bullied at Creek School for wanting to be a rapper. Nesting between tongue twisters and lyrical jokes are poignant themes of resilience, friendship, and self-love. Featuring dynamic choreography, hilarious sketches and Candy B's distinctive hip hop clownery, MC Platypus and Queen Koala's Hip Hop Jamboree takes the audience on a feel-good musical journey that promotes tolerance, understanding and, of course, dancing!
With the help of DJ Queen Koala (Busty Beatz), children are encouraged to take part in the show by singing, body-popping, beatboxing and playing instruments in the human hip hop 'air' orchestra. Musical highlights include tracks 'You Can Do It!', 'Bully Boys and Girls' and the classic dance-fad 'Platypus Swag'.
Candy B is an award winning writer, hip hop artist, theatre-maker and social activist. She graduated from NIDA's acting stream in 2001 and went on to create cult hip-hop comedy act Sista She. Throughout her career, Candy B has collaborated with Bell Shakespeare Company, Belvoir St Theatre, Queensland Theatre Company and Sydney Opera House to create works that embolden the stories of Australians from culturally diverse backgrounds. Her smash hit Australian Booty toured nationally in 2012 to widespread critical acclaim, from Darwin Festival to Campbelltown Arts Centre; Melbourne International Comedy Festival to Brisbane Powerhouse.
Sound designer, composer and hip hop artist Busty Beatz is best known for her musical direction of UK hip hop pioneer Jonzi D's East London West Sydney for Sydney Festival, Rat Trap by Polytoxic (QLD Theatre Company; CoCA Cairns) and the multi award-winning boylesque work Briefs (Sydney Opera House; Brisbane Powerhouse; Edinburgh Fringe; Sydney Festival; Southbank Centre London).
Candy B and Busty Beatz first brought MC Platypus and Queen Koala to the stage in 2010 after being invited to perform in Brisbane City Council's annual Christmas concert. They were subsequently commissioned by Artslink QLD to create an hour-long performance for touring in 2012. Together they performed to about 20,000 children over 14 weeks in schools across Queensland.
Presented by Darebin Arts' Speakeasy, performances will play Northcote Town Hall, 189 High Street Northcote, April 1- 14 (every day) at 12:30pm. Tickets are $15. Bookings: www.darebinarts.com.au/tickets/.

SSH, SCP, and SFTP
Light at the End
The secure shell gives you an option for securing other Internet services against sniffing via tunneling. To secure an otherwise-unencrypted protocol (such as POP3), forwarding TCP/IP connections to a remote machine by means of an encrypted protocol makes sense. The use of SSH as a SOCKS proxy is another elegant application that lets users transfer encrypted data via a web browser. Setting up a tunnel to a proxy also avoids web content censorship, which is a useful feature in countries that block some websites. If you have a shell account on a machine in a less restrictive country, this approach can give you unimpeded web access.
To start, enable the proxy with the SSH -D option, and at the same time pass in a freely selectable port number. In this scenario, the -f and -N parameters also are useful. The former pushes ssh into the background after logging in and before executing commands, and the latter tells ssh that no commands are to follow; for example:
$ ssh -fN -D 1080 Proxy
After entering the password, the prompt reappears and the shell is ready to accept further instructions. That's all there is to it – the SOCKS proxy is waiting for something to do.
The next step is to set up the SSH client as a SOCKS proxy in the network configuration for the program in question. If this is the Firefox web browser, you can select Edit | Preferences and go to General | Network.
In Connection, click Settings, enable the manual proxy configuration, enter the IP address 127.0.0.1 and the port you previously selected in the SOCKS Host field. SOCKS versions 4 and 5 are available; when in doubt, check the ssh man page to see which version your SSH installation supports. After accepting these changes in Firefox, you can type an address in your browser's address box to verify the connection: http://www.myipaddress.com/; you should see the IP for the remote machine.
Interactive with sftp
In contrast to scp, users work interactively with sftp, just as in any "normal" ftp session. Secure ftp does not expect an ftp server at the other end of the connection, but rather an SSH daemon and, thus, a shell account. As with SSH, set up a connection to the target computer at the command line:
$ sftp huhn@macnugget
After entering your password, you will see the sftp> prompt, which tells you that the program is ready and waiting for further input.
The sftp program is not much different from those used by other shell-based ftp clients; however, you can't set the transfer mode (ASCII or binary) before transferring data because files are sent as-is across the network.
Secure ftp also has some advanced functions for modifying file permissions and ownership. For a comprehensive overview of the available commands, see the help command.
Some practical command-line options facilitate working with sftp. For example, the -C parameter for enabling data compression not only is available for ssh and scp, but also for sftp. The -b <file> option lets you pass in a batch file with the commands you want to run to sftp; however, this will work only if you do not need to enter a password to log in.
If you are interested in a graphical client for sftp, the answer is quite simple: Both KDE's Konqueror and Gnome's Nautilus support sftp perfectly. Just enter the following in the address line of either application,
and then authenticate with the correct password to use sftp, just like your local file manager.

I think these people look at Supercross and think that if they have a state of the art racing facility that they can draw 50,000 people to a race. I think they're wrong for this reason. The monster trucks can sell out the Astrodome with 60,000 spectators. But if you moved that same event to an outdoor setting, in the heat, rain or any other adverse conditions, it wouldn't draw 10,000 people. I think supercross and motocross have two different fan bases. One wants a comfy armchair were all of the action is upclose with 100% visibility and drinks and popcorn just a few short steps away. The other doesn't mind the elements, He doesn't mind hiking around the track checking out different sections. He doesn't mind being tired and dirty at the end of the day. The motocross fan is probably more likely to drive for hours to attend an event. He is the core of the sport! But, I could be wrong.
Ok, couldn't let this be said of me.
I've been to many nice comfy SX races over the years but haven't been to an outdoor national in 30 years.
Been to a lot of local MX in those 30 years.
I was at the Circuit of the Americas for the Grand Prix of the Americas (MotoGP).

Advice/discussion - GTX 260
So there is a GTX 260 in the computer right next to me, it says in GPU-Z that it's the 216 core, 55nm version. The temps seem okay, as well as the OCing - about 15% over stock.
I'm just a bit unclear about the model number of it:
It is an XFX GX-260N-ADEF, googling that does not bring up anything too definitive and still leaves me wondering. That is because the only other model number that I can find is GX-260N-ADFF.
From having googled GPU-Z SSs the texture fill rate also seems to vary... by a few GB - the SSs from google have higher numbers, even with slightly lower clocks at times... :S
Here is a GPU-Z SS just in case: http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/09/03/08/gf3.png
EDIT: here is also a photo of a slightly unusual box, or at least its smaller than the ones around the net appear to be:
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
I heard some companies were just going to switch to the 55nm versions from the 65nm without saying anything because the 55nm version is cheaper to make.But you would have thought that they would at least say it is a 216 version .They probally still have a bunch of boxes that just say what it did when they first came out,and just trying to get rid of the extra boxes.Well at least if you thought you were getting the 192 version or the 65nm version ,you got a better deal.
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
So now I just want to know what is up with the model number... it appears on some "obscure" computer stores, mainly in Europe. Saw one in a Russian language store too.
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
I ask you people - what is that little 2-pin connection to the left of the two 6-pin connections?
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
I just bought the same card GX-260N-ADEF. I didn't realise how long it would be. I had a EVGA 8800gts 640mb and that was long enough. I had 5 hard drives in my case, and had to remove one of them so I could fit my new GTX260. So now I've got to reinstall Vista. It also makes more noise than my 8800 at idle and it's a lot more noisy if I increase the fan speed to 100% which is an absolute racket.
I'm just curious, what temps do you get when playing Crysis. At idle my card is 47c on auto 40% fan speed, but when playing Crysis at full load it went as high as 83c. Is that normal as I have a Antec nine hundred case with plenty of fans. My 8800gts oc never went higher than 75c.
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
Have you got any software that controls the fan? If not then get Rivatuner and it will control your fan automatically according to the temperature of the GPU, because if the fan stays at 40% all the time that could be the reason for the high-ish temps. You mention setting the fan at 100% being loud - yeah it is a lot louder that my 8800GTX at 100%. Saying that, I got the impression that the fan is not really intended to run at more than 50%, maybe maximum of 60% at any time as the cooling method on the 260GTX seems either more efficient or there is just less heat to cope with due to the 55nm manufacturing process. :D
PS - is the 8800GTS 640MB or 512MB? As the latter one has a slightly different cooler to the 8800GTS 640MB/8800GTX.
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
That Pixel Fillrate definitely beats my GTX 295! It only gets 16.1 G/Pixels. Maybe that's without SLI.
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
Well I can confirm it is a core 216 55nm version. I get the same readings on my EVGA card other than I have higher clock speeds than you.
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
Yeah - I've spotted similar packaging for 285GTXs and 295GTX from XFX and maybe other brands.
As far as it being the 55nm version - well it says so in GPU-Z. :p
Thanks for the replies though.
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
My 8800gts is the G80 - 640mb version. Well I did a lot of googling and came across a website that said you should try overclocking the card slightly if you think your temps are high. So I tried that using EVGA precision, leaving the fan on 40% default and was surprised that it actually worked, even my idle temps have dropped from 47c to 42c. I played crysis and the highest it went was 75c which is an improvement. Weird though as I would of thought oc would make the temps go up not down.
Has anyone with a GTX260 got Graw 2. If so what fps are you getting at 1280x1024 on the first level. I maxed everything out at a res of 1280x1024 with physx on extreme and I was getting between 79-40, but during the fire fights it was dropping down to 26 and causing stuttering. I would of thought the GTX260 could handle this game no problem.
I guess I was expecting a bigger performance leap over my 8800gts on every game, but some games don't seem that much better. Rainbow Six Vegas is no better than my 8800. During the casino level when you enter the man room the FPS drops to 26fps in places. It did the same on my 8800. Maybe this game is just badly optimised, it certainly seems that way.
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
Re: Advice/discussion - GTX 260
IMHO the 260 216 core is a great price vs performance card.

2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor Q&A
2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor Question: tune up
I had a tune up and had the spark plugs changed. I was assuming that a tune up meant that the engine would be tuned back to where it was when new, some adjustments. What else should be done besides just changing the spark plugs? I think the ungine is jumpy and some belts need to be adjusted. - Visitor
2 Answers
Answer 1
Change the engine oil and filter and also change the air filter, I don't see anything else thats replaceable besides the plugs also the belt can only be replaced not adjusted But you can view the scheduled maintenance prices here http://repairpal.com/estimator?car_type_id=5688 - Valleyautotech

Well, I can add captions and galleries and whatever, but there's no save button to bring it all together. I can only remove images. The strange thing, though, is that it only affects my own images. I was just editing the Dragon Quest V gallery and could save stuff there, but it doesn't seem to carry over to my own gallery.

NOTE: Imperfect copies currently discounted on the clearance page.
I think this journey into human sexuality – and how to convey its physical, social and spiritual realities and outcomes to children (beginning at around age 12 for direct teaching) is one of the most refreshing approaches I've ever read. In the author's usual humorous and relaxed style, virtually every topic of importance is touched upon – actually, delved into far beyond the surface – in a way that is open, engaging and utterly unabashed. I can imagine this one volume being of enormous help to both teachers and parents as they guide children into a healthy adulthood.

Light bulb using 230V AC Mains, made using wire connector & no soldering ! (Instructions for 110VAC also hinted below.)
See this link for the earlier version and for step by step guide:
Step 1: Components:
2) 1k ohm, 1 watt resistor
3) capacitor - 0.22 uF, 400 volt for 230 V AC Mains or 0.47 uF, 250 volts for 110V AC Mains
4) Wire connector
5) Insulation Tape
6) Screw driver
7) 1N 4007 Diodes - four pieces to make a diode bridge
See the pic of the components.
Step 2: Assemble for the Final Results !!!
2. make 3 such pairs, or two if you wish, so that you either have nine lights or six, as per the wish.
Note: It looks simple but ensure that there is no error in connecting.
3. Join the three sets of positive legs of these pairs to the wire connector. All 3 negatives go to the other side of the wire connector.
4. Now for the bottom portion of the wire connector:
- connect the diode bridge positive to the positive of the led & likewise for the negative.
Note: Be careful in properly assembling the diode bridge. (As per link provided in Components or Acknowledgments)
5. Connect the AC ends of the diode bridge to a resistor & capacitor. It doesnt matter, which side since it is AC part.
6. Connect the loose ends of the resistor & capacitor to the bulb base.
7. Done ! And all this WITHOUT SOLDERING ! ;-D
Step 3: Acknowledgments:
I would like to make a led light for my room. Can you provide me with a circuit diagram. The way you described the circuit is bit of confusion for me. And also need to know the power consumption of this circuit? My mail id logicmania[at]gmail.com
kindly check projects made by "Dipankar" on this website for some very nice circuit diagrams as well as pics. He is guiding light for all of us! ;-)
can I use. 0.33uf 630v cap for 220v input?
so nice ......................

HF&B is the only medspa in town that has podiatric physicians who specialize in medical pedicures. Medical pedicures combine podiatric treatment of common foot problems with aesthetic footcare. While most podiatists spend little time grooming toenails, treating corns, calluses, cracked heels, ingrown or fungus toenails and other foot problems, Dr. Dan and Dr. B spend significantly more time providing these services in a relaxing atmosphere and also include foot spa amenities in their treatments (organic scrub, massage, etc.). Medical pedicures are not covered by insurance (although they can be used with Flex Medical accounts), but they are affordable and about what you would pay in co-payments and deductables at other foot clinics. Medical pedicures are ideal for patients who have common foot problems, diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy, or just want superior foot treatment in a spa setting.
Dr. Dan also offers laser treatment for unsightly nail fungus (discolored, thick nails). The PinPoint FootLaser is the most effective (85% cure rate) and quickest (usually cured in one appointment) treatment for nail fungus: better than topical solutions, pills, or other lasers.
We also provide general podiatry services for most insurance-covered conditions. Call to ask about insurance coverage.
HF&B nail specialists are under physician supervision and offer enhanced services with the highest standards of care and sterility. You need not worry about catching an infection or unsightly nail fungus at HF&B. In addition to strict sanitization protocol, we offer NOURISH Protein & Vitamin Enriched Anti-fungal Nail Polish and Solution to treat as well as protect against infection.
Combine a podiatric medical pedicure with with nail tech services for the ultimate therapeutic and aesthetic hand and foot care.

A friend took a picture of watch springs that had 'sprung'. I took this image and worked to creat an abstract that was of a more 'organic' nature. In the center of the image is the bud of a peony with its leaves extending outward. Normally I don't like to discuss the 'mechanics' of an image, but this final work is a combination of about 25 layers with probably 100 manipulations to get the effect I wanted. Sometimes, when I create the 'work' gets no where as either the color or shapes simply do not appeal to me or are imsimply 'wrong'. But sometimes color and shape just seem to be 'right' for each other. It is the 'explosion' of shape and color that gets my blood going. So it was with this piece. It is mechanical yet 'organic', an...

Partagas Sabroso
5 7/8 x 44 - Natural - Box of 20
You couldn't possibly be a true cigar smoker and not know Partagas cigars. With over 150 years of tradition originating in their native Cuba, Partagas' rich blend of Dominican Cuban-seed & Mexican fillers and savory Cameroon or Broadleaf Maduro wrappers have made them the most consistent cigars in overall quality, flavor and aroma. One of the best-selling cigars in the world and always available at our low, everyday prices. If you haven't had a Partagas, don't wait any longer.
These used to be my absolute favorite ten or fifteen years ago. Then the cigars seemed to get very bland and the wrappers very papery. I thought the brand was done and went elsewhere looking for that Partagas aroma. I saw the new reviews at Famous and gave them another try and could not be happier. The wrappers are dark and smooth with an oily sheen, the tobaccos seem well aged, the cigars are solid and uniform and smoke with a medium bodied complexity that's tough to beat in this price range.
Picked up one of these splendid cigars by luck, on the way to a horseshow in Norco. This is one of the most enjoyable smokes that I have had, including Cuban cigars. Even draw and a fine finish. Next to try is the Sabroso Rosado. Kudos to Partagas!!
I purchased a box of these bad boys and went through the whole box in about 6 months. I loved the taste of this cigar. It was not bland at all, but had an almost spicy, yet earthy taste that was capped off with excellent burn and construction. Partagas makes a very nice cigar, not to mention ligth on the wallet as well.

School Profile: Hernando Elementary School
Administrators and faculty at Hernando Elementary have made the disappointment of running out of library books such as "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!" a little more easier to take for the 675-plus students at the school.Through the arrival of FollettShelf, e-books are right at the fingertips for the kindergartners and first-graders.
"Last year, I think we purchased 115 (selections)," said librarian Melony Hudson, "and now we're up to 313 books."
The youngsters also have the ability to strengthen their skills through the "Reading Eggs" computer program.
"It teaches them how to comprehend what they're reading," said computer teacher Peggy Dalton, while members of Janet Hildebrant's first-grade class partook in the exercises.
Further making it a priority is the Literacy Nights held at the school each month. The next sessions are Feb. 25-26.
"Literacy Night basically involves our parents," Hernando principal Renee Triplett said. "They go to the rooms and they're introduced to the different ways that we explore literacy. The kids got involved and they were able to showcase their talents. It also allows us to incorporate all three of our special activities (library, music and P.E.) into one."
With book titles ranging from A-to-Z, first-grader Luke Pulliam recently had little trouble accessing a selection about aardvarks.
"I think I became good at (reading) when I was 6," he said. "My first chapter book was 'Magic Tree House.' "
Said Hudson: "They're all unlimited access, so if every child and every teacher in the school wanted a book about coyotes, they can all check out that one book and read it at one time. They see the actual book on the screens. It will also read it to them if they want that option."

The non-District 4A-4 portion of season has came to an end, and I really believe the Poteau Pirates should be awarded passing grades in all areas. In fact, I believe they should make the Honor Roll. Here's my grades for each group.
Offensive line — A. This group of student athletes are the motor that causes the Poteau Pirates offense to roll. I think I'll make that an A+ due to the depth. The first line is very strong and the subs that fill in are improving. The coaches are not afraid to make changes in personnel.
The Poteau Lady Pirates, fresh off winning the 2012 LeFlore County Fast-Pitch Softball Tournament Thursday night at the Poteau Area Recreational Complex, found out this past weekend that they will entertain the Muldrow Lady Bulldogs for a Class 4A District Tournament next week.
All other LeFlore County fast-pitch softball and baseball teams will begin postseason play this week as district tournaments will begin.
The up-to-date schedule for this week's playoffs and regular-season games is below.
Class 2A District Tournaments
WISTER — Everybody left somewhat satisfied after Friday's three-way baseball action with the host Wildcats entertaining the Whitesboro Bulldogs and the Oktaha Tigers.
In the only game where LeFlore County teams met, the Bulldogs blanked the Wildcats 2-0.
In the middle game, the 'Dogs' rally came up short as they were outlasted 15-11 by the Tigers, who then lost the final game of the three-way as the 'Cats beat them 7-2.
Monday Games Canceled Due to Wet Fields
TULSA — The Poteau High School cross country teams competed Saturday at the Oral Roberts University Invitational, put on by Tulsa Bishop Kelley High School, amidst perhaps the best field of runners they've seen to this point in the season.
TULSA — After a tough season-opening loss Sept. 1 on the road against Iowa State, the Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team has made it 2-for-2 in home games, and both in dominating fashion.
After winning their home opener Sept. 8 against Tulane, the Golden Hurricane looked even more impressive in a 66-16 rout of the Nicholls State Colonels Saturday night at Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — If the Arkansas Razorbacks were going to upset the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide Saturday afternoon at Franks Broyles Field at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium, one thing they couldn't afford to do was to get down early, which is exactly what the Hogs did. The Tide built a 24-0 halftime lead and never looked back rolling the Tyler Wilson-less Hogs 52-0.
Terry Lamont Biggerstaff, 61, of Blue Ball, Ark., went to be with his Lord and Savior Friday, Sept. 14, 2012, at his home surrounded by his loving family.
Terry was born March 4, 1951, in Fort Smith, Ark., to Homer Romane and Wilma (Grantham) Biggerstaff. Terry was a member of the Tatetown Community Church.
He was a U.S. Marine veteran. His hobbies included deer hunting, fishing and gardening. Terry could make plants grow on rocks. But, above all Terry loved his family, most of all his grandchildren.
Dennis Dana Gregory died Monday, Sept. 10, 2012. He was a disabled Vietnam veteran, serving two tours with the U.S. Air Force in Pleiku, Vietnam, as an air passenger service specialist. He distinguished himself as airman of the month among other citations. He traveled extensively in Asia and Europe. He was a graduate of the University of Oklahoma. Residing in Manhattan Beach, Calif., he retired to Heavener in 1988 after many years as customs house manager of ocean imports at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
Wilma "Faye" Humphries, 80, of Poteau stepped into the light Friday, Sept. 14, 2012, in Fort Smith, Ark.
Faye was born July 9, 1932, in Howe to William V. and Sarah Lula (Dodd) Ritter. She began her education at the No. 10 Community school, now rebuilt into the home of her sister, Jeanne Hill, and family.  On July 23, 1955, she married Everett Ray Humphries. She became a homemaker raising three children.

Photoshop is one of the world's most powerful image editors, and it can be daunting to try to use skillfully. Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Advanced, the second part of the popular and comprehensive series, follows internationally renowned Photoshop guru Deke McClelland as he dives into the workings of Photoshop. He explores such digital-age wonders as the Levels and Curves commands, edge-detection filters, advanced compositing techniques, vector-based text, the Liquify filter, and Camera Raw. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details, smoothing over wrinkles and imperfections, and enhancing colors without harming the original image. Exercise files accompany the course.
Recommended prerequisite: Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts and color settings for Photoshop from the Exercise Files tab.
In this exercise we are going to take a look at ways to adjust the composite histogram here inside of the Adjustments palette, and in subsequent exercises we will take a look at Output Levels, we will take a look at adjusting the histogram on a channel by channel basis, and a few other nuanced modifications that you might apply. So I'm still working inside of the photograph of Max, but I have gone ahead and saved my progress so far as an image called Semi-corrected.psd and notice that I have gone ahead and named this adjustment layer that I have created. I have called it Auto Color, Clip 0.2%, which is for the shadows, and 1.5%, which is for the highlights.
You would normally be able to confirm that by going up to the Adjustments palette here. You just click on this adjustment layer, go to the Adjustments palette, theoretically it would be open for you, and you would just Alt+click or Option+click on Auto, and that would bring up your last hue settings. Now it's working for me because I just got done applying them. For you however, when you open up this image, assuming that you are using the first version of Photoshop CS4 and they haven't bugged fixed this yet, it's probably going to reset everything to Enhance Per Channel Contrast and the Clip values will be their defaults of 0.1% apiece.
So it doesn't remember the previous settings, which is really actually not a good thing, but anyway you could reset them just by applying the settings you see right here on the screen. Anyway I'm going to cancel out. And tell you what, this is a pretty good automatic color correction, I would go so far as to say. But let's try something different without completely ruining our previous settings. So let's just go ahead and turn the old adjustment layer off, so that it's sitting there waiting to be used again. The great thing about the adjustment layers, as I mentioned this earlier in my Fundamental Series, but notice down here in the lower left corner of the image window, we'll see Doc is 9.79M flat, and then we see a slash, and it's also 9.79M including layers.
So the adjustment layer doesn't take up any room, and when I say it doesn't take up any room, it takes up a few bytes of data, and bytes are little bitty bits of data. They are eight bits of data a piece actually. But they are nothing compared to kilobytes and kilobytes are nothing compared to megabytes, which are nothing compared to gigabytes, and terabytes, and all the other things that will bite you. So anyway, I'm just saying that these are really tiny and you might as well just keep them. So keeping old unused adjustment layers is just fine and actually a good practice. So now I'm going to go back to the Adjustments palette, this whopping big palette that is taking up so much space on my screen, which I resent, by the way, I should just say this very quickly.
Notice this big empty space down here? The reason we are seeing this big empty space down here is because the Adjustments palette is always set to consume as much space as the biggest adjustment, which happens to be Curves. So the Curves Adjustments as we'll see will take up this entire region, but Levels doesn't. I wish this darn thing was smart enough to collapse if we don't need the unused space, because Layers are getting squished down here, and they are going to get even more squished in just a second, but not the way things are working out right now. So I'm going to click on this green arrow right there, to return to my Adjustments list, and then I'm going to Alt+Click or Option+Click on this little levels icon right there and by the virtue of the fact I have the Alt or Option key down, Alt on PC, Option on Mac, I'll bring up the New Layer dialog box, and I'll call this Composite histogram modification, but that's implied, I'm not going to type that in there.
Then I'll click OK in order to create this new Composite histogram levels adjustment and notice that my image itself is rolled off the bottom of the Layers palette, because this big monstrous Adjustments palette is squishing it, but it's still there of course, it's still down there. Anyway, got this Levels adjustment selected, and now let's focus our attention on this middle region right here, which contains the histogram itself, and these three values below the histogram which are the input levels.
I should say whether you are working within adjustment layer the way we are, or a composite levels modification, then you are going to see a histogram, and you would see that if you are working with a composite modification, by which I mean a static modification, that's what I meant to say. If you went and applied, for example, under the image menu, you went to Adjustments and then you applied the levels command, which I can't right now, because I have an adjustment layer selected. But if you went that route, you would still see a histogram inside the Levels dialog box, and you would see these three values right here. So everything works the same, and what we are saying, this histogram, I was saying way back in Chapter 5 of the Fundamental Series, I was telling you that this histogram is a bar graph, of all the luminance levels which are the little brightness values, the luminance levels inside of the image, from black, over here on the left all the way over to white, over here on the right. This graph when you are looking at the expanded view of this palette, which we are, and you can switch between the two.
You can switch between the itsy bitsy standard view, which is squished. It unsquishes the Layers pallette, but squishes the Adjustments palette which is no good, and of course the expanded view which is better by clicking on this little folder icon right there. When you are working in the expanded view, the histogram is exactly 256 pixels wide, which is important, because there are 256 different luminance levels per channel inside of a standard 8 bit per channel image, which is the way that JPEG images for example are saved, all JPEGs are saved that way, JPEG, RGB images.
Anyway, notice these values underneath the graph, 0 represents black, and this first value corresponds to the little black slider triangle, and this last value here, the third value, corresponds to the little white slider triangle, and it's 255, which is the luminance level for white. Now I was telling you there are 256 different luminance levels, and this tends to confuse people, why is white 255 and black is zero? 255 plus zero does not equal 256, where did the last guy go? Well it's black, So in other words, here's how it works. One, there is a brightness value right next door, right, if I were to move this over just ever so slightly, just one pixel over, there is the brightness value of one, which is a very dark color, not quite black, but very dark. So you got one going all the way over to 255, so those are your first 255 different luminance levels, plus you've got yourself black, which is represented by the number zero, but it's still a distinct value.
So you don't add zero, you just add one more value for black and you would get 256 different variations. So if I were to work with this graph here, if I were to drag the black slider over to the right, until I get an initial input levels value there of 12, then I'm saying, anything with a luminance level of 12 or darker is going to get clipped to black, and that is going to then spread out my histogram over the remaining area. This might make even more sense if I were to take this white slider triangle, and notice how it's communicating its information here with this third numerical option there. If I drag it over to 192, let's say, then I'm saying anything with the brightness value of 192 or brighter is turning white, and that's going to stretch this remaining area here, this histogram across the entire histogram space.
So in other words, we are increasing the contrast of the image, and you can see that actually happening here inside the image window. See this guy right there, this little option right there; if I were to click and hold on it, then I'll see the default version of the image, with the current adjustment turned off. So it temporarily turns off the layer, and then if I release, I'll see the corrected version of the image. So in other words, click and hold for before, release for after, and you'll notice there's a little keyboard shortcut associated with it, that's the Backslash key, and if you press and hold Backslash, you may have luck with getting this to turn off for a second and then release Backslash again to see the after version of the image.
However, if I were to do it right now, it would try to enter a backslash character into this little highlighted option, and so let me see if I can click on something else here, like this RGB Channel option, and then I'll press the Esc key. Now let me see, if I press and hold the Backslash key, now it's working. So I'll press and hold Backslash in order to see the before version of the image, so it's press and hold, and then release in order to see the after version. So I'm just letting you know it's there, because you might see the tip. I don't really think much of the keyboard shortcut, because it frequently doesn't work, because one of the numerical options is highlighted and it's preventing it from working, and that can be a pain in the neck, but it's there.
I just want you to know it's there. By the way, notice that I kind of moved the black slider triangle to the beginning of the humpolumpolas of the histogram here, and then I move the white one to the end of it. So that we're tucking right next to the mountainous region, and that's pretty standard behavior, that's kind of what you typically want to do. And when I say kind of typically, I mean almost always, but I'll show you a few more nuanced approaches as we get further into this, but I just wanted to give you a sense of kind of what you tend to do when you are approaching this histogram.
In that way you are just clipping the dead stuff down here. So you are clipping away the dead grass, as it were, down here in the plains, the low lands. So many analogies I can share with you that aren't really serving you any good. So now, in between the white point and the black point is this gray point right here, which is the gamma value. Notice that it's represented totally differently. It represents that middle gray which if you divide 255 by 2, you would either get like 127 or 128.
So you would think maybe that's how they would represent this value right here, but instead it's 1.0, because it's an exponent, and I'm going to explain how this function works, this gamma value, because it's very, very important to correcting your images. We are going to spend a little time with it in the very next exercise.

You know Michaelangelo's The Creation of Adam?
You've seen it. If not pictures from the fresco in the Sistine Chapel, then when George Michael Bluth stepped into the role of Adam on "Arrested Development."
The South Bank Atheist Society at London's South Bank University used a modified version of Michaelangelo's masterpiece. Instead of God reaching out to Adam, they substituted in a flying spaghetti monster on a poster to promote an upcoming event. And that was too much for student union officials, who removed the poster for being "religiously offensive."
The Independent reports:
Initially the secular student society reported it was told that "Adam's genitals" were the issue before union officials allegedly told them the posters caused "religious offences" and their stall was banned from the start-of-term student event.
The campus row has been seized upon by the British Humanist Association (BHA) and the National Federation of Federation of Atheist, Humanist and Secular Students Societies (AHS) who have condemned the poster's removal as "utterly ridiculous" and part of "rising tide of frivolous censorship" at British universities.
South Bank University is a public institution, but keep in mind that England has no First Amendment. (That was painfully clear in the wake of the Edward Snowden NSA revelations last summer.) But the move comes off as heavy-handed and not in the least bit in the spirit of a place of higher learning.
If college students can't have conversations about these things, who can?

From the Publisher:
The incomparable Ian McEwan masterfully entwines espionage and love as only he can in a wickedly intriguing new novel.
The year is 1972. The Cold War has entered a moribund phase, but the fight against Communism goes on, especially in England's cultural circles.
Serena Frome, the beautiful daughter of an Anglican bishop, has just completed her maths degree at Cambridge. Her brief affair with one of her professors leads to an interview with MI5. Serena lands an assignment in Operation Sweet Tooth: the funding of artists and writers with whom MI5's political views align. Her "target" is Tom Healey, a promising young writer. First she falls in love with his stories, then she begins to fall in love with the man. When his novella wins a prestigious prize, the deceit becomes too much for Serena to bear. But before she can confess, her cover is blown, scandalizing the literary world and crippling MI5's efforts. Who blew the whistle and why? Ian McEwan will keep you guessing in this superbly deft and witty story of betrayal, intrigue, and love.
Author Bio
Ian Russell McEwan was born on 21 June 1948 in Aldershot, a military town in southern England. He had two much older half-siblings and considered himself an only child. An "army brat," he spent his childhood in Singapore and North Africa where his father was stationed, but returned to England to go to boarding school and the University of Sussex. He got an M.A. at the University of East Anglia, where in his creative writing courses Malcolm Bradbury and Angus Wilson encouraged him to be a writer. His first marriage ended in 1995 (and his wife, Penny Allen, made McEwan notorious when, after she kidnapped one of their two sons and fled to France, their custody dispute--which McEwan won--became public). He married journalist Annalena McAfee in 1997. One of McEwan's favorite writers was Kafka; he also counts Evelyn Waugh as an influence, and the biologist E. O. Wilson. McEwan is celebrated for his macabre, grotesque, and occasionally kinky fiction. His novel AMSTERDAM won the Booker Prize in 1998, and several of his works have been made into films.
"McEwan goes for laughs in this cold war spoof." 08/13/2012 "Britain's foremost living novelist has written a book--often as drily funny as it is thoughtful--that somehow both subverts and fulfills every expectation its protagonist has for fiction." (starred review) 09/01/2012

(FILES) A picture taken on February 13, 2014 shows Egyptian army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi smiling during a meeting with Russian Defence Minster in Moscow. AFP PHOTO / VASILY MAXIMOV
CAIRO: Egyptian army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was in a meeting with the top military brass Wednesday at which he was expected to resign ahead of a likely presidential bid, state media reported.
Interim president Adly Mansour later joined the meeting, after returning from an Arab League summit in Kuwait, the military said.
Before starting the meeting with the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Sisi gathered his belongings at his office in the defence ministry, the official newspaper Al-Ahram reported on its website.
The wildly popular field marshal, who is also defence minister, must resign from the army before running for the presidency.
Sisi is easily the country's most popular political figure after he overthrew the divisive but freely elected Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July. He is widely seen as winning the election, which is expected to be held before June.
Underscoring the challenges facing him, at least one person was killed Wednesday in clashes between pro-Morsi students and police, the health ministry said.
Sisi is riding on wave of nationalist fervour and demands for a firm leader who can restore stability after more than three years of turmoil following president Hosni Mubarak's overthrow.
But supporters of Morsi will likely escalate protests.
At least 1,400 people, mostly Morsi supporters, have been killed in violence since the Islamist president's overthrow.

In this video tutorial a show you how to set up Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 11 to Render 360p 16:9 Widescreen SD (Standard Definition) Video for YouTube.
Creating a 360p Video is best suited for anyone who is shooting with an older style Standard Definition Video Camera.
To get your 360p Widescreen Video looking fantastic there are two steps involved:
Firstly you have to set your Project Property Settings correctly. Many Video Cameras or DSLR Cameras all shoot with different settings - like different frame rates and whether it is Progressive or Interlaced Video. It is important to know where you want your finished product to be displayed, because this determines which settings you choose in the Project Properties.
Secondly you have to create a Rendering Template to match your Project Properties. Vegas gives you many great templates with which to work with, but a few settings may need to be tweaked to get the best look. Follow along with my video tutorial and you can't go wrong.
These instructions are specifically for Version 11 users of Vegas Movie Studio, because the rendering screen is displayed differently in this version compared to V10 and V9.
Follow this link to my older tutorial on how to Render 360p Video if you are using Vegas Movie Studio Version 10 and 9:
How to Render 360p 16:9 Widescreen Video for YouTube using Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10

Author information
J.R.R.Tolkien (1892-1973) was a distinguished academic, though he is best known for writing The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, plus other stories and essays. His books have been translated into over 30 languages and have sold many millions of copies worldwide
Customer reviews
By Jacinta 19 Nov 2012
This is one of the BEST audio book series I have ever listened to. I can not imagine anyone better than Rob Inglis to do the story justice. He sings all the songs and puts life into each character so when it is their turn in the story you know exactly who he is! I could not recommend this enough to anyone who loves audio books or The Lord of the Rings/Hobbit or just Tolkien in general.
100 stars out of 10.
Review quote
'One marvels anew at the depth, breadth and persistence of J.R.R. Tolkien's labour. No one sympathetic to his aims - the invention of a secondary universe - will want to miss this chance to be present at the creation.' Publishers Weekly 'Extraordinarily imaginative, and wholly exciting' The Times 'The story itself is superb' Observer 'A most remarkable feat' Guardian 'Masterpiece? Oh yes' Evening Standard An astonishing imaginative tour de force' Daily Telegraph 'A story magnificently told' New Statesman 'Tolkien was a storyteller of genius' Literary Review 'Amongst the greatest works of imaginative fiction of the twentieth century' Sunday Telegraph

The Fundamentalists' Faux-Pas: Pro-Life = Anti-AbortionQuicklink submitted by Curt Day Permalink

At flamingfundamentalist.blogspot.com
|The current Fundamentalist equation of the term pro-life with opposing abortion neglects the fact that the term "pro-life" means more than just opposing abortion, it also includes doing and supporting what is necessary to protect and maintain life. Therefore, the pro-life tent should be expanded to include those who support social and environmental programs as well as those who oppose war. At the same time, we all need to look at ourselves to see where we are not consistent in being pro-life.

Author information
Michael Grant was formerly a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Professor of Humanity at Edinburgh University, the first Vice-Chancellor of the Queen's University, Belfast, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Khartoum. He is Doctor of Letters at Cambridge and Honorary Doctor of Letters and Laws at Dublin and Belfast respectively. He has also been President of the Classical Association of England, the Virgil Society and the Royal Numismatic Society.
Editorial reviews
The brilliance and glory of Greek civilization from the early fifth century B.C. to the rise of Alexander the Great - all masterfully illustrated here by renowned historian Grant through miniature biographies of leading figures, including Themistocles, Aeschylus, Pericles, Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato. The ideals and philosophies that constitute much of the heritage of Western civilization were incubated in the strife-torn Greek city-states during a remarkably brief period of time. Grant argues that it is best to interpret the history of fifth-century Greece "by accepting that its outstanding deeds and thoughts were produced not by communities but by individuals." After all, Grant's use of biographical sketches is itself a technique drawn from antiquity, e.g., Plutarch's Lives of the Noble Greeks and Romans. This period saw the defeat of the Persians, the disastrous Peloponnesian Wars, the building of the Parthenon, the trial of Socrates, the founding of the Academy, etc. The reader meets the "Father of History," Herodotus; the creator of tragedy, Aeschylus; and the founder of medical science, Hippocrates. The volume also includes numerous maps and illustrations of Greek art and architecture. Once again, Grant provides a superb popular history - in this case, an introductory study intended as part of a trilogy that includes The Rise of the Greeks (1988) and From Alexander to Cleopatra (1982).

SHOULD JAMES'S KILLERS BE RELEASED SOON? YES; YES: Research Director at Crime-Reduction Charity Nacro and a Member of the Youth Justice Board
Allen, Rob, The Mirror (London, England)
HOW to deal fairly with young children who commit the gravest crimes presents problems in all societies.
It involves balancing the interests of the victim, the community and the offender and is ultimately a moral exercise which gives rise to strong emotions on every side.
If the shocking murder of James Bulger had taken place a few months earlier, neither Jon Venables nor Robert Thompson could have been charged with any criminal offence at all. There would have been no crown court trial, no life sentence and no minimum period of detention set by judges, Home Secretaries, the European court or anyone else.
But because the two boys were just over the age of criminal responsibility, the long and controversial process was set in train which ended yesterday.
It is the very young age at which Jon and Robert committed the horrific crime that has raised such difficult dilemmas. Nobody accepts that children are as responsible for their actions as adults are.
Their minds, their morals and ability to control their impulses are still developing. That is why we do not allow them to drink, smoke, have sex or vote and why we compel them to attend school.
The capacity children have to develop and change is reflected in the system we have for dealing with youngsters who behave badly.
Most countries do not put children in front of criminal courts however heinous their crime until they are 12, 14 or even 16. Under those ages criminal behaviour is dealt with by measures designed solely with the welfare of the youngster in mind.
In the most serious cases this can involve living in a closed institution for a time if the public are at risk. The purpose is not punishment, however, but helping children grow into law-abiding adults. Education, treatment and the resolution of underlying problems is the hallmark of this approach.
In our system, children over 10 are punished but the nature and extent of that punishment reflects the special status and needs of children.
The Lord Chief Justice yesterday decided that eight years was the right period Venables and Thompson should serve as punishment. This is the same period that the trial judge, having heard all of the deeply disturbing evidence, recommended at the end of the original trial in 1994. …

And, no, not just because tonight is Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Win or lose, I think sometime after tonight's outcome, Doc Rivers will announce that he's stepping away from coaching.
If he does, it'll be an indefinite leave, but here's the other shoe, if you're waiting for that one to fall. Don't be surprised if this time next year, the Orlando Magic have a new head coach, and it'll be a familiar name for them.
Doc Rivers.
Money isn't a factor in Doc's decision, although it could be. After winning his first NBA title with Boston two seasons ago, Rivers has been masterful with these Celtics this season, and especially in the playoffs. His cred as an X's and O's coach with superb communication, leadership and motivational skills couldn't be higher.
So, expect the Celtics to try to keep him. They'd be foolish not to.
I just don't think they will.
I've been around coaches my whole life, and heard the rhetoric about wanting to spend more time with family. Few follow through on that. Doc, though, has been talking publicly and privately about doing that for a while, so the notion that he might step away isn't breaking news. But it will be if he follows through.
I think he will.
The timing will never be better.
Allow me to connect some dots. Six years ago, when Rivers became the Celtics' coach, he never moved his family from their Winter Park home, where the family has been since he coached the Magic from 1999 to 2003. Nor does he ever plan on leaving. Yeah, he's Boston's head coach, but he's not a Boston guy.
Doc has four children, and three not only play sports, but play fairly well, and this next year will be a special time for him to see those kids play.
If Doc wants to enjoy watching his kids play, this next year would be the time to do it. Especially with Austin, a dazzling point guard whom many experts say is the nation's No. 1 prep prospect.
Two years ago, Austin verbally committed to UF and Billy Donovan. But that was back when Billy and the Gators were hot, just a year removed from winning back-to-back national championships. They're not hot anymore.
Duke and North Carolina have edged their way into Austin's decision-making process. In fact, Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski was recently in Central Florida, watching Austin play. And a couple of former Duke players (and current Orlando residents) have also been in Austin's ear. Perhaps you've heard of them -- J.J. Redick and Grant Hill.
Either way, this is a special time in Austin's life, and his dad would like to be there to witness it.
As it is, Doc has tried to witness a lot of his children's sporting events and other family milestones. During his six years in Boston, he has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to charter personal planes, mostly back to Orlando. Yeah, he makes $5 million a year to coach the Celtics. But actually taking a year or two off might not only be easier on the credit card bills, but also a nice respite from such a hectic schedule.
Doc is 48, and if he does step away, he'll be one of the hottest coaching free agents whenever he decides to re-enter the fray.
Which might be next year.
Doc would never admit to this -- he's too good of a guy -- but he'd love to coach the Magic again, and not just because it's the NBA team that plays in his backyard. Think about it, who wouldn't want to coach Dwight Howard in his prime, and for a franchise as top-shelf as the Magic, who are moving into a new arena next season?
As much as I like Stan Van Gundy, I think the Magic are starting to think that he has taken them as far he can as their head coach. Last year, they made it to the NBA Finals -- and lost. This year, they made it to the Eastern Conference Finals -- and lost. Fair or not, if Orlando doesn't win it all next year, and Doc Rivers is out there as a free agent coach, a change might be too tempting.
And I think Doc Rivers will be out there, unemployed, watching his kids play sports, enjoying a special year as a dad.
