Virtual Reality – the empathy machine?
A few months ago a listserv i'm a part of had a very interesting discussion about virtual reality (VR) and empathy – in part a response to Chris Milk's assertions that VR is an 'empathy machine', but also a wider discussion about how VR is being used for non-fiction narratives. As VR gets bigger – […]
Challenging climate change: The power of games to fight real-world problems
In 2007 Ken Eklund created World Without Oil, the first major alternate reality game which used a socially relevant theme to drive the story. The game sketched out the overarching conditions of a realistic oil shock, then called upon players to imagine and document their lives under those conditions. Compelling player stories and ideas were […]

DescriptionBack to top
- RFID kit with RFID Read/Write, EM4012 and T5577 tags
- Read and write to RFID tags up to 6cm away
- Protocol: EM4100, ISO11785 FDX-B, PhidgetTag
- RoHS compliant
The Phidgets RFID Quick Start Kit includes RFID Read/Write, EM4012 read-only RFID tags and T5577 read/write RFID tags. This kit is all you need for reading RFID tags.
PhidgetRFID Read/Write
The PhidgetRFID Read-Write reads RFID tags that are brought in close proximity to the reader and returns the tag identification number. Writing data to T5577 tags is also supported. RFID (radio frequency identification) systems use data strings stored inside RFID tags to uniquely identify people or objects when their tags are scanned by an RFID reader. These types of systems are found in many applications such as passport protection, animal identification, inventory control systems, and secure access control systems.
The PhidgetRFID Read-Write supports reading and writing in 3 protocols; EM4100, ISO11785 FDX-B, and PhidgetTag. The PhidgetTag protocol simply stores up to 24 ASCII characters to the tag, eliminating the necessity for a table of corresponding tag numbers and names in your program.

The week is almost over and we have been alarmingly devoid of any Olivia Wilde posts. Thankfully Nylon magazine has saved the day and given us yet another reason to adore everyone's favorite new geek fantasy girl. This is one woman determined to be in the spotlight. Normally the studio cred associated with being in two blockbuster movies in as many years would be enough for most A-listers. Not Olivia, though. She seems to enjoy saturating the media with that gorgeous face of hers at every opportunity. Lucky for all of us.

Author has written 11 stories for Devil Wears Prada, Harry Potter, Buffy X-overs, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, 101/102 Dalmatians, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and X-overs.
Who: Artist, Writer, Creative type.
A preemptive note: Unfinished works are unfinished. They are not dead. If you ask me if they're dead, they'll likely be delayed because I go into snits about that particular question. I don't know why, it's just the case.
That said, for me an unfinished work is not an indication of a permanent state, however, I can only write as fast as I can and usually I have to have a bit of inspiration to do it. Thus, if I'm feeling writers block or if I break my wrist, or life happens outside of fan-fiction, no writing happens and chapters don't get done. Or, if I start another story, because the muse is that way sometimes, it may mean that I put one story down to start another. This does not mean I won't go back. This comes from starting out with painting rather than writing as my first mode of creation. Please be patient. Some stories just have to wait for the muse.
For those reviews about continuing to write, I do appreciate them and I do read them. I don't always have time to respond to them. However, that's another reason for this message; it's meant to reassure, not point fingers.
I will post chapters as I have them to post. Promise.
Another preemptive note: Sometimes fanfic net screws with formatting. It does this regardless of original formatting or efforts to re-input the document in a better format or whatever. Please realize that if I had it my way, all docs would format perfectly and weird spaces, and missing horizontal lines and separators would not happen.
Just know that I am aware that it looks off and that there's literally nothing I can do about it at the moment. I apologize. I honestly tried. Several different ways. Thank you for your patience.
A completely different note: I am will probably be posting very old fic to this site and another site. I'm also planning on bringing in the latest fic from TtH, just so people know I haven't fallen off the world. I'm still writing. It's still slow, but I'm writing something a bit different at the moment. I will write other stuff eventually. :)
On Yet another completely different note: I started a series on Twisting the Hellmouth that I haven't really shared anywhere else. I've decided to go ahead and post it here too. It's called: The Builders.
So, for your edification:
This series originally started out as a way to expand on an idea I observed in another fan fiction. The first story is the original short inspired by that idea. The second, an expansion that starts off slow, but hopefully is glorious by the end.
If you are interested, you can find the Builder Lore Here:
Also, the Builder-verse has been issued as a challenge:
Builder-verse stories in the series so far:

Eight darkly erotic and horrifically delicious stories guaranteed to give you shivers, in more ways than one!
In 'The Ride,' Annabelle hitches a ride from a stranger in a small town, where every day is the same. She longs for adventure and is looking to get out to find it...but it turns out that, even in the backwoods, nothing is as it seems after all...
In 'The Gingerbread Man,' Lindy runs into an unexpected snow storm on the way to her fiance's on Christmas Eve, but will the charming, kindly gentleman who comes to her rescue turn out to be more saccharine than sweet?
In 'The Laundry Chute,' an old-fashioned laundry chute in a big, rambling farm house proves deadly for a group of young, adventurous boys...
In 'Advent Calendar,' Jay is a player-a typical college student with one thing on his mind-and that doesn't change when he meets Betsy. He wants nothing more than to take her five ways from Sunday, and Betsy doesn't seem to object. Still, the more time he spends with her, the more she seems to affect him... When she gives him a homemade advent calendar for Christmas, Jay discovers the real meaning of the phrase, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
In 'The Velvet Choker,' Lydia has heard the stories from her co-workers about the house at the apex of two dead end roads, but the young immigrant housekeeper isn't scared easily. Working for the strange and reserved jewelry maker Hugo Kauffman pays well, and for that, she's willing to overlook his eccentricities. But when Lydia finds a black, velvet choker in a box she's been forbidden from opening, her life is changed forever, and she finds herself suddenly bound to the strange and eccentric old man who runs the household. Will the introduction and interest of the new, young portrait painter save her from her plight?
In 'Pumpkin Eater,' she doesn't know how long she's been with Belch, the strange man who grows giant pumpkins...she doesn't even remember her own name... But when a kind police officer comes to buy a pumpkin from their patch, Beth begins to remember. Sheriff Will Walker's instincts tell him that something is wrong, but he can't quite put his finger on what. Will he be able to figure out the mystery in time?
All of the stories included: Silent Night, Mercy, The Velvet Choker, Pumpkin Eater, The Ride, Advent Calender, The Laundry Chute, The Gingerbread Man and a BONUS STORY: Hunting Season co-authored with horror/thriller author Blake Crouch!
(Warnings: This title contains graphic language, sex and elements of horror.)
God, she smells incredible! Whatever the hell perfume she was wearing was intoxicating, and I dipped my nose into the swell of her cleavage where it was stronger. "You smell great," I murmured against her neck.
She giggled, and I winced. Note to self-don't make her giggle!
"Pheromones..." The feel of her breath in my ear made my cock jump.
"What?" I tilted my head to look at her.
"Never heard of pheromones? Just chemicals we give off...love scents. It's like an aphrodisiac. Careful, you could fall in love with me," she teased.
"You've got a love scent, all right," I agreed, kissing her, harder, digging for that tiny tongue again and finding it.
She moaned against my mouth, responding to my thumbs rubbing over her hard nipples. They were pale pink and puffy. She had a true blonde's coloring, and I judged that Miss Clairol only gave her natural hues a shine, although I wouldn't know that for sure until I had her panties down. Her hand went for my crotch, but I grabbed her wrist, twisting her arm behind her and kissing her toward my room. Whether it was the beer or the cold, my dick wasn't responding quite fully yet, and nothing killed things quicker than a girl who thought you couldn't get it up for her. No matter what you said, they made it all about them.

Samsung 1920x1080 LCD monitor on Ubuntu issue
I've recently got a Samsun 2494HS 23.6" LCD monitor full HD capable 1920x1080 resolution.
I'm running fully updated Ubuntu 8.10 and the latest nvidia display driver version 180.11. My graphics card is on laptop GeForce 6600go with an VGA output that is connected to the LCD.
I can't seem to get anything close to a picture on my LCD monitor. I'm doing the configuration using nvidia-settings dialog.
It detects my monitor but at first all I got was 640x480 max resolution using twinview :/ Then after a bit of clicking and restarting I got a few more resolutions available, max was 1360x768 ?! And selecting any of them does not give me a good picture it's all weird and distorted.
I've been googling and messing with my xorg.conf for some time now and nothing works.
Please can anyone provide me a solution here, this is terible...
Re: Samsung 1920x1080 LCD monitor on Ubuntu issue
Re: Samsung 1920x1080 LCD monitor on Ubuntu issue
This answers nothing. Thanks.
Re: Samsung 1920x1080 LCD monitor on Ubuntu issue
I'm not a linux newbie, I've searched this forum for a solution, there were quite a lot of similar issues but all with a slightly different solution, none of these work for me. I need help on this one.
It looks like nvidia-settings isn't going to work for me, so I know I need to edit xorg.conf, but it is so frustrating. Anyone with a similar setup that can share his xorg.conf?

It's time again in this little corner of the basketball universe to recognize the overlooked and underappreciated players who sacrifice their stats and egos to make a team successful. Introducing the fifth annual All-Quasar Teams, a one-man fanfare for players who won't be in Houston this weekend but who have been vital to their teams' first-half success.

Siegelman Wants Another New Judge
By Alabama Public Radio
Birmingham, AL – Former Governor Don Siegelman wants to change judges again in his criminal case. Defense attorney Jack Drake filed court papers Monday saying Siegelman wants federal Judge Scott Coogler to step aside. When Coogler was running for Tuscaloosa County circuit judge in 1998, he apparently received campaign contributions from a political action committee supported by Tuscaloosa physician Phillip Bobo. Bobo is one of Siegelman's co-defendants. Reports also say one of Coogler's children received a physical exam from Bobo about a month before Coogler was assigned to the case. Coogler is the third judge Siegelman and the others have faced. The previous two also stepped aside because of ties to the case.

In reading The Economist and comparing GDP growth rates of various countries, I have noticed (not surprisingly) that it is much more difficult for large economies like the United States and the United Kingdon to generate rates of growth much above the 2.0 to 2.5 percent range. It is not unusual for smaller countries (or large countries like China but with a smaller GDP) to realize annual economic growth of 6 percent or higher. The lesson learned: You have to look at both the percentage rate of growth and the size of the economy to get a better picture of what is happening. Percentage changes are important but they tell only part of the story.
For some of the same reasons, studying growth in healthcare spending by focusing on year-to-year percentage change bothers me. With health care being such a gigantic industry (17 percent of the U.S. economy), small percentage changes should be the norm, not a rarity. There are all kinds of reasons set forth on why the rate of increase in health care—and Medicare—spending has abated in the past few years, but I can't help but wonder if the lower growth rate hasn't been due at least in part to the huge size of the industry.
A 4 percent increase might sound like a huge victory in holding the line on cost increases. But with healthcare spending approaching $3 trillion a year, 4 percent doesn't seem so small anymore: It represents growth of $120 billion a year.
Going back a few years when annual healthcare spending was $1.8 trillion, a 6.5 percent growth rate would have also represented about $120 billion of new spending. We would have been much more upset with the 6.5 percent rate of increase than we are with the 4 percent now. But the added dollars, with some adjustment for inflation, would have been the same.
So what? Beware of judging our effectiveness in bending the healthcare cost curve by simply looking at percentage changes. The total dollars involved—both the base and the annual increases—matter in getting the complete picture. Even though the growth rate may be 4 percent, throwing $120 billion more into health care is a lot of extra cost. We shouldn't be congratulating ourselves too quickly.

Local data storage or SAN: How storage location affects VM performance
Do the performance advantages of local storage outweigh the management benefits of a storage area network?
Is virtual machine performance better when storage is on the local server or a storage area network (SAN)?

Workloads, like virtual machines, are typically unaffected by storage location, as long as the storage location provides adequate capacity and performance.
Local data storage (disks on the servers themselves) may yield somewhat better performance simply because a disk interface like 6 Gbps serial-attached SCSI (SAS) is dedicated to fast storage tasks. Also, local storage doesn't rely on sending data over the network and therefore is immune from network bottlenecks and disruptions.
The problem with local data storage on virtualized machines is that migrating a workload between servers would also require migrating the workload's local disk contents, which can be a time-consuming challenge. Centralized storage overcomes this problem by providing uninterrupted access to storage regardless of which server the virtual machine is on. The VM's storage location never changes even though the VM can begin running on a different server on-demand.
In addition, local storage is rarely used in enterprise environments because it is cumbersome to monitor and manage. Centralizing storage in a SAN or NAS eases storage management challenges and can even simplify backup and disaster recovery practices with replication features already within the storage subsystem. These are all important considerations for virtualized environments.
So, while local data storage may offer some performance improvements, centralized storage pools offer more features and are easier to manage. Which approach is best for your organization will depend on the size of your environment and how you use your servers.

LOS ANGELES—Ronald Wilson Reagan, who grew up a shoe salesman's son in northern Illinois, became a movie star in the golden days of Hollywood and emerged as a conservative icon and a two-term president who helped end the Cold War, died Saturday after suffering from Alzheimer's disease for a decade. He was 93.
The oldest man elected to the presidency at age 69, he governed America through most of the 1980s and created a legacy that influences, if not dominates, American conservative politics.
President Bush, in Paris as part of the 60th anniversary celebration of D-Day, called Reagan's death "a sad hour in the life of America." Flags across the country were lowered to half-staff, and crowds observed moments of silence at baseball stadiums and the Belmont Stakes in New York.
A black hearse carried a flag-draped coffin from the Reagan home Saturday afternoon to a Santa Monica mortuary. Initial plans call for Reagan's remains to lie for a day at his presidential library in Simi Valley, then travel by Air Force One to Washington, where he will lie in state in the Capitol rotunda. The funeral is expected at midweek, probably Wednesday.
As president, Reagan presided over the nation with a Midwestern, folksy style, belying his years in Hollywood and his two terms as governor of California.
His political rise reflected an America eager to set aside the national trauma and recriminations that followed the Vietnam War and the crisis of American hostages held in Iran. He encouraged the country to look to the future with unbounded optimism.
Reagan also capitalized on the nation's weariness over domestic social programs that consumed a large share of the federal budget but were perceived by conservatives as failures. Reagan railed against big government and pushed for tax cuts to stimulate the economy. Those views profoundly influenced the Republican Party and are reflected in the policies of President Bush two decades later.
As president, Reagan promoted a free-market economy, worked to scale down welfare and other social programs and oversaw the largest defense buildup in peacetime history.
Reflecting years spent in a close circle of successful and wealthy friends, he believed deeply in a capitalism that benefits business first and then is supposed to expand the economy, create jobs and let prosperity "trickle down" to the poorest members of society.
That approach, often dubbed "Reaganomics," harked back to an aphorism from President John F. Kennedy that "a rising tide lifts all boats." His critics, including George H.W. Bush, a political rival who later became Reagan's vice president and successor in the White House, called it "voodoo economics."
When Bush's son became president in 2001, he pressed for the same "Reaganomics" policies of tax cuts as a means of creating jobs.
In his first inaugural address, Reagan challenged the view that such problems as inflation, energy shortages and international terrorism were beyond solution, and he vowed to help restore America as the land of liberty and plenty.
"We have every right to dream heroic dreams," he said. "Those who say we are in a time when there are no heroes, they just don't know where to look."
Energetic despite his age and health problems, including a bullet wound suffered during an assassination attempt just 70 days after he took office, Reagan led the country through a period of economic growth and withstood a recession in his first term.
But late in his second term, concern over the nation's foreign trade and budget deficits led to panic on Wall Street. On Oct. 19, 1987, the Dow Jones industrial average fell a then-record 508 points.
There also was serious political turbulence. The president became embroiled in what came to be known as the Iran-contra scandal when aides were accused of trading guns and missiles to Iran in exchange for help in gaining the release of several Americans held hostage in Lebanon. The proceeds of those sales were diverted illegally to aid the rebels known as contras, who were fighting Nicaragua's leftist government.
As president Reagan embodied a spirit of conservatism that emerged following the 1970s. While Reagan was a symbol of that conservatism, much to the annoyance of liberal critics, he was also a practical man, willing to compromise on domestic and foreign policy issues, often to the annoyance of his core conservative constituency.
His legacy is long and sometimes contradictory, not unlike aspects of his life. He often promoted "family values," but his own family was not particularly close.

I will say that I find it a bit hard to write about myself in this fashion. Hope I'm not the only one that feels this way. lol Ok so here goes I am a down to earth guy, who is looking for that down to earth lady. Friendship first with the intent of finding that special lady to share all that life has to offer. I enjoy good conversation over good food and a good beer or glass of wine on occasion. I enjoy going out and doing things with family and friends on weekends. I am lucky enough to have a really good group of friends and we do all kinds of fun things including river trips, motorcycle rides, vacations and dinner partys once a month. My hope is to find a lovely lady to enjoy all these things with me and to share the things in her life that she enjoys doing as well. I love to laugh and smile. Kissing is a must as well as holding hands and talking. I'm looking for that perfect connection that we all dream about. Could you be that lucky lady? I certainly hope so. Drop me an email or send me a wink and we'll see where it goes.

We (2 travelers) stayed at the Pool Villa for 5 days and were completely pampered by the staff from head to toe. They took really good care of us, remember our every need and are constantly thinking one step ahead to try and make our holiday as smooth as possible! We were won over by the beautiful location, the attentiveness of the staff and most importantly, the passion and energy the staff brings to the place. The villa we stayed in was clean and nice. No major issues. Everything was beyond our expectation.

I returned at 11 am to find the door to my room wide open and my stuff gone.. The russian owner then shouted at me rudely when I complained. He is also generally extremely miserable and my advice to him would be to leave the business and let his wife run it!!!

Minor gripe about noisy air conditioning unit, but overall good value for money and would return

We were a group of 5 who stayed at Hakuna for 3 nights in November 2011. We took the 2 bedroom apartment which was perfect for 5 of us. The location of the place is great with it being a 5 mins walk from the beach and also has a 7 eleven bang opposite in case you need anything. It is close to all the action but also has its distance so its not noisy all the time. The rooms are great and very well kept. There is a very nice bar/restaurant downstairs with a pool table etc. You can get some good food and drinks! Their kitchen is open only till 9PM though which could be better since the nightlife in the place goes on so people (we) do tend to eat a little later than 9. But overall, a great experience with great hosts! Would recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and value for money stay.

Many thanks to Elena & co, who made the stay comfortable and enjoyable. Joe, Ratty & Keow in the Cork & Cask pub downstairs were also lovely. A very friendly atmosphere all round, especially as I was new to Samui and travelling on my own. Many thanks guys... I will be back!

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
Ski ChaletRead MoreSince its founding in 1980, Sun & Ski Sports has remained true to its philosophy: "do a few things, but do them better than anybody else." The shop stocks equipment in five categories of extreme and outdoor activities, including camping, skating, running, bicycling, and water and snow sports. It specializes in these to ensure its merchandise maintains a high standard of quality, and its employees are knowledgeable participants in the sports their department represents. Bikers can drop off their steeds for tune-ups from certified mechanics who put all brands through the rigors of a 12-point inspection, checking chains and adjusting wobbly pedals and malfunctioning spoke-card motors. While waiting, curious eyes might linger on a North Face two-person tent, a Blackburn Airtower bicycle pump, or a vast selection of shoes from brands such as New Balance and Asics. Men and women can traipse nearly barefoot in the park with Vibram FiveFingers, which offer minimal structural encumbrances for a more natural stride, or cast their feet aside for the new-wheeled prowess that comes with a Fuji SL-1 LE Ultegra performance road bike.2704 Columbia PikeArlington, VA US
SocialBot EventsRead MoreThe planners behind SocialBot Events have a knack for putting together social events to help both long-time residents and newcomers navigate the DC area and meet locals. Many of these events are geared toward singles, such as speed-dating nights, which help people pair up without needing to resort to lines like, "So, do you come here often?" or, "You must have fallen from heaven, because your hair looks wind-blown and you seem confused." But SocialBot's events include activities to help folks make new friends as well, such as the winter day trips. Attendees load up into a bus and spend a day together skiing or snowboarding the slopes of Snowshoe Mountain.14130 Sullyfield CircleChantilly, VA US
Willis Ski, Snowboard and Tennis ShopRead MoreOwner Greg Klein first learned the art of customer service as a child, watching his father found the store that, 37 years later, would continue to bear his name. Greg remembers, "My father would close a sale and say, 'My name is Willi Klein. If you ever have any problems, you find me⎯I'll make it right.' It is still our motto today." This commitment to customer care is passed along to the sales staff at five locations, helping them pair outdoors enthusiasts with name brand gear from Burton, Nordica, Oakley, and Ride Snowboards. Team members take pride in helping boarders and skiers find boots that conform to their feet, a seemingly small detail that can make an enormous difference in staying comfortable on the slopes, performing on halfpipes, and attaining top speed while running off with a friend's poles.9629 Fairfax BoulevardFairfax, VA US
Calleva (Markoff's Haunted Forest)Read MoreEstablished: 1994 Reservations/Appointments: Not required Staff Size: 2–4 people Average Duration of Services: 1–2 hours Pro Tip: Come ready for adventure and fun. Make sure you bring clothes that you don't mind getting wet. Handicap Accessible: Yes Parking: Parking lot Most Popular Attraction/Offering: River Tours Recommended Age Group: All Ages Calleva With a name that means "where the paths cross," it's no surprise that Calleva is dedicated to bringing people of all ages and from all walks of life together to appreciate the outdoors. The certified MAEOE environmental center helps its guests dive into the heart of the wilderness right outside D.C. and raise awareness about its delicate ecosystems. In doing so, it encourages others to cooperate and take risks while stepping out of their comfort zones, like baby birds leaving the nest to start their own nest-building business. To facilitate these efforts, a team of ACA-certified guides helms seasonal outdoor-adventure and educational programs. In warm weather, activities might include kayaking and canoeing down winding stretches of the Potomac River or paddling to a private island filled with ropes-challenge courses and other obstacles. Fishing and ecological-study programs present even more varied ways to explore the water. Other adventures include the year-round, such as backpacking; the cold weather, such as caving; and the whimsical, such as the annual haunted forest where ghosts and ghouls mingle under a zip-line course.13015 Riley's Lock Rd.Poolesville, MD US
PacersRead MorePacers provides a large inventory of running shoes, apparel, and more in its new P Street location. Highly trained employees, who earned a 2009 ABBIE for Best Customer Service, help customers select the proper footwear, taking into account individual fitness levels, previous injuries, running goals, and the results of Pacers' complimentary gait analysis. After the hoof assessment, match needs with fashionable racing boots from brands such as Asics, Saucony, Brooks, and Nike (average price is $100). Runners can show off triple-striped sleeves with an Adidas zip-up top ($65) or wrap themselves in Nike shorts (starting at $28), tops (starting at $25), and pants (starting at $55). To quench runner's thirst or ensure buoyancy after running into a kiddie pool, strap on a water belt ($50).3100 Clarendon BlvdArlington, VA US
SideTour - LeisureRead MoreSound Excursions describes their carefully curated group experiences as "field trips for adults." It's easy to see why: every outing takes groups to a new realm of Washington, whether it's the frothy shores of Puget Sound, inland forests and mountains, or tables at Seattle's thriving restaurants. The events held at these diverse locations range from culinary workshops on topics such as sushi-making and moonshine-tasting, to adventurous excursions with whitewater rafting or kayaking, to laid-back themed party cruises. For many outings, luxury transportation is provided.2001 11th Street NWWashington, DC US

Santa Fe, NM / PRBuzz / April 20, 2011 -- A press conference was held by Environment New Mexico http://www.environmentnewmexico.org/ in front of Dr. K Paul Stoller's Hyperbaric Medical Center http://www.hbotnm.com on April 19th to announce the release Environment New Mexico's report "Dirty energy's Assault on our Health: Ozone Pollution" authored by Lauren Randall. THe report found that power plants in New Mexico emitted 66.553 tons of smog-forming pollution in 2009. High emissions at the state level are largely due to the Four Corners Power Plant near Farmington, which emits more smog-forming pollution than any other power plant in the country. Environment New Mexico's report comes as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is set to finalize a standard in July to help reduce smog-forming pollution.
"High smog pollution leaves many of New Mexico's children gasping for air," said Veronica Gutierrez, Federal Field Associate of Environment New Mexico. "Many of the Ingredients for smog pollution, like nitrogen oxides, come from power plants. This pollution puts our children and our environment at risk, and the Environmental Protection Agency must act to reduce this life-threatening pollutant."
Dr. Stoller, President of the International Hyperbaric Medical Association, and Juan Reynosa of the Sierra Club joined Environment New Mexico in releasing today's report.
"Smog is too nice a word for what we have to breath. It puts New Mexicans' lives on the line," said Dr. Stoller, who was diplomat of the Academy of American Pediatrics for over 20 years. "It's time to protect our health and reduce dangerous smog-forming pollution from the Four Corners Power Plants in Farmington and from power plants across the country."
The report comes as EPA is set to finalize a standard in July to help reduce smog pollution. Environment New Mexico is calling on EPA to protect our health and our environment, and to establish an air quality standard for smog pollution of no higher than 60 parts per billion. This stringent air standard will adequately reflect how much smog can be in the air and still have it safe to breathe, and could save up to 12,000 lives per year according to EPA analysts. To achieve this standard, the United States should install and improve pollution control technologies for power plants and accelerate the transition to clean electricity sources--while also reducing smog-forming pollution from vehicles by expanding public transportation systems and putting cleaner cars and trucks on the road.
Yet while EPA is undertaking this rulemaking to protect public health, Congress and industry lobbyists are working to keep EPA from doing its job by threatening to block rules that limit dangerous air pollution.
"All New Mexicans have the right to breathe clean air," said Gutierrez. "Senators Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall and Congressmen Ben Ray Lujan and Martin Heinrich have consistently supported efforts over the years to protect New Mexican's health, and we'll be counting on their leadership once again to support EPA's strongest possible standards to cut pollution."
K. Paul Stoller, MD, is the editor of a new book his late son wrote: http://www.my-life-after-life.com - My Life after Life.

We've all had those days, the bad hair day, the day you had nothing to wear; even though your closet is full. And then of course, there's the day that you look in the mirror and your skin just doesn't look right. HELP!!
Ok admit it, you didn't get quite enough sleep, but you drank your water, ate your veggies and you removed your makeup (almost) every night. So what's happening? Why the change? Why is your skin so fatigued looking?
As we age, stress and lack of sleep affects us internally and suddenly it shows up on our face as a dull complexion and dark circles. Sleep deprivation is one of the most stressful conditions for the skin. It raises internal toxins, one of which is known as glycotoxins. These glycotoxins deregulate the skin's systems in charge of protecting and repairing during the sleep.
With age, stress and lack of sleep, a dull complexion becomes more apparent as glycotoxins accumulate in the skin and deregulate the natural systems of the skin. How to fix it? Use ingredients topically, that improve the skin's micro–circulation.
CUITTING EDGE INGREDIENTS: Topical plant extracts such as the Chinese medicinal herb; Whu–Zhu–Yu, and Persian Silk Tree help to improve the micro vascular network in our skin. This in turn, helps detoxify and promote healthy cell renewal and optimal skin repair. When micro–circulation is improved, skin looks youthful, healthy and radiant.
Take a few minutes at night and your mirror will be saying "Hello gorgeous!" by morning.

YIELD: Makes 2 servings
Whisk sour cream, finely chopped fresh dill, and lemon in small bowl to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Dilled cream can be made 8 hours ahead. Chill. Rewhisk before using.
Melt butter with olive oil in small skillet over medium-high heat. Add thinly sliced shallot, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and sauté until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer sautéed shallots to paper towels to drain completely (shallot pieces will crisp as they cool). DO AHEAD: Crispy shallots can be made up to 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
Arrange baguette slices or water crackers on plate. Spread thin layer of dilled cream over each baguette slice or cracker. Carefully arrange salmon slices atop, dividing equally. Spoon small dollop of dilled cream atop each, sprinkle with crispy shallots, and serve.

Hey guys,
This website looks like a well produced site and the commuinity seems very generous. I've been on photoshop for a while now, and I can also draw a fairly good sketch on paper but I would really like to know the basics of photoshop to make a concept art painting.
AnyOne willing to help me please?

Anyone willing to read the rules please?
You must've noticed that there's only art in the critique centre, cmon.
There's a buncha tutorials all over the internet, but i'd suggest you get a tablet and just practice, practice, practice first...

Well, best is to get the basics down.. There are some topics on CA.. pretty much spread out, but they are mostly stickies.. Check them out, and uhm , i suggest paper and pencil instead of tablet =) depends on your current skill though.

Read this, and you will know what to do.

Hi Paine,
Grab a sketchbook and click on "Concept Art 101" in my sig. . .
I think you are awesome, and I wish you the best in your endeavors, but I am tired of repeating myself, I am very busy with my new baby, and I am no longer a regular participant here, so please do not contact me to ask for advice on your career or education. All of the advice that I have to offer can already be found in the following links. Thank you.
