Women Wait Longer for First Calls in the ELCA
CHICAGO (ELCA) -- Research upholds a widely-held assumption that women in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America wait longer than men for their first job as an ordained pastor, according to a new report. In the ELCA candidates submit their credentials to a synod bishop who advocates for their assignment to a congregation.
While the research indicates that women wait an average of 3.3 months longer than men, it also reveals variables other than gender in the length of time before a first "call" to ministry in a congregation. Age at ordination, placing certain restrictions on the type of call, and ministry as a second career also determine how long candidates wait for a first call.
According to the Rev. Janice Erickson-Pearson, co-author of the report, "The combination of older age, female gender and restrictions of the first call will likely result in a longer average wait for a first call. If ordained ministry is a second career, that wait might be reduced a little."
Women in the ELCA wait an average 6.8 months for a first call while men receive a call in 3.6 months on average according to the report prepared by the church's Commission for Women and Department for Research and Evaluation.
Age at ordination proved to be a factor. On average, older candidates wait longer for a first call regardless of gender. The average woman is older when she is ordained than the average man. The average woman pastor in the ELCA is 35 years old at ordination; the average man is not quite 29 years old.
When women's choices were restricted by their spouses' jobs, their wait for a call increased by two to three months; men with similar restrictions waited more than five months. Women are more likely than men to place this restriction on their first call, which explains some of the difference in the average length of their wait.
Other situations affect women but not men. Women placing geographic restrictions on their first call waited on average a little more than eight months compared with about six months for all other women. On the other hand, women who restricted the type of congregation or situation they preferred, such as a small congregation or an associate pastor position, waited only four and a half months on average.
The report encourages the church to find ways to deploy strategically candidates who have spouse-related or geographical restrictions on mobility.
Women made up 13 percent of non-retired ELCA pastors in 1995. Lutheran churches in North America have ordained women as pastors since 1970.
Based on action taken by the steering committee of the Commission for Women, the report will be sent to all clergy women in the ELCA, to the 800 men who participated in the survey and to the ELCA Conference of Bishops.
The next focus for research sponsored by the commission will be "questions and concerns related directly to justice issues for and about women clergy in the ELCA, for example: types of first and subsequent calls for clergy women as compared with clergy men, compensation, and the experiences of clergy women compared with clergy men On Leave From Call, in part-time calls, and calls to specialized ministry."

A zero-day vulnerability is the suspected cause of BIND 9 DNS server crashes occurring across the web.
BIND 9 is the most widely used DNS server on the internet, meaning the flaw could have a massive impact.
"Organisations across the internet reported crashes interrupting service on BIND 9 nameservers performing recursive queries... An as-yet unidentified network event caused BIND 9 resolvers to cache an invalid record, subsequent queries for which could crash the resolvers with an assertion failure," the Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) said in an advisory.
"ISC is working on determining the ultimate cause by which a record with this particular inconsistency is cached."
ISC, which manages the BIND software, has issued patches to prevent servers from crashing.
"At this time we are making available a patch which makes named recover gracefully from the inconsistency, preventing the abnormal exit," it added.
Security intelligence firm Rapid7 said the first attack was discovered at The National Weather Service, with the following 89 discoveries of the attack on US universities.
"Bind 9 is the most widely used DNS server on the internet today… Gone unchecked, this attack could potentially affect nearly the entire internet," said Matt Barrett, senior solutions architect at Rapid7.
"A temporary patch has already been released, but we encourage everyone to submit packet-capture from their own systems to ISC so they can further investigate. As with any attack, the more information gathered, the better we'll be."

No disputes between Ezz and El Sakka
Egyptian actor Ahmed Ezz has confirmed that he and Egyptian actor Ahmed El Sakka are on excellent terms and the rumors about tension rising between the two over events that occurred while filming the movie "Al Maslaha" (The Business) are false.
Ezz said that El Sakka is a very good friend and that a date has not yet been scheduled for the screening of their film. The film is directed by Sandra Nashat and its release has been postponed numerous times due to the unstable conditions in Egypt.
Ezz's appears in the film "Hilm Aziz" (Aziz's dream) with a mustache and beard. Ezz said that it is not an indication that he is now affiliated with an Islamic political party, but rather his role in the film requires him to have such a look.
According to the internet website MBC.net, Ezz revealed that the film "Hilm Aziz" is a romantic comedy and he plays the role of a young businessman that is willing to do anything to achieve his personal goals.

Russia and Ukraine: The Energy Dimension
Russian incursion into Crimea, potential counter-measures by the United States and other Western countries, and retaliatory Russian responses to such counter-measures have, unsurprisingly, spotlighted the role of energy in the conflict. In the case of oil, Russia, it is accurately noted, is the world's largest producer and second ranking exporter (behind Saudi Arabia). In the case of natural gas, it ranks second in production (behind the United States) and first in exports. This dominance leads to fears that Russia will manipulate energy supplies as a foreign policy weapon against Ukraine or the West generally—something it has done before, albeit on a smaller scale. The crisis has even injected possible Russian energy maneuvers into an ongoing US debate about whether to lift restrictions on American oil exports and speed licensing of LNG (liquefied natural gas) exports – the point being that such actions could frustrate, at least to some extent, any attempt by Russia to use its energy dominance for political gain.
Are these fears reasonable, and, if so, can US energy policy help?
Of course, for Russia to even contemplate such action, the country must be willing to forfeit the export proceeds on which it is significantly dependent. But beyond that, to pursue such a supply-curtailment scenario, a sharp distinction must be made between oil and gas. Oil is a globally-fungible commodity and, as the events of the 1973-74 oil crisis demonstrated, deliberately withholding oil from embargoed buyers, but not others, has little effect—all it means is that embargoed countries must buy from other suppliers. Of course, Russia could withdraw oil from the market entirely, rather than just restricting who may buy it, but unless the withdrawal is very large (and therefore very costly to Russia), there may be sufficient worldwide surplus capacity to offset it.
Natural gas is a different matter. As Mr. Putin demonstrated in 2006 and again in 2009, a deliberate reduction in natural gas exports victimized not just Ukraine (his primary target) but European countries further west at the end of the gas pipeline. Unlike the interconnected world oil market (then and now), the global natural gas network remains highly fragmented. The graphic above, from BP's 2013 global energy review, vividly points out both this global fragmentation and the conspicuous importance of Russia's pipeline exports. While, in years to come, expanded LNG shipments from the United States, Qatar, Australia, and other countries will undoubtedly result in the creation of a worldwide gas trading system, blunting would-be supply manipulation, for now, the natural gas card remains a conceivable option for Mr. Putin to play.
What factors may prompt him to move in this direction and what reactive strategies it would provoke on the part of affected countries takes us into the political consequences of the ongoing upheaval. Here, my sole purpose was to simply illuminate some of the lurking energy issues.
But, reverting to the ongoing US domestic debate, keep in mind that, for the United States to become more than a trivial oil exporter and a significant LNG exporter takes time. In the latter case, that reflects also the sizable associated infrastructure that is required. This means that, whatever the benefits of lifting US oil-export restrictions and accelerating the LNG-export approval process, neither action seems likely to have a decisive impact over the next few years, much less on current events playing out between Russia and its Ukrainian neighbor.

I Saw the OceanAug 12th, 2013 | By Editorial Staff | Category: Geri Roskopf's Blog
I was babysitting my niece and nephew and decided to take a walk over to the local ice cream shop. I was pushing my niece in the stroller and my nephew was riding his bike (with training wheels). Like kids do, my nephew took off ahead of me, pedaling as hard as he could. I knew he was coming to a downhill slope that led to a bridge that crossed a small river we needed to go over, and because he was just learning to ride his two-wheeler, he wouldn't be able to stop.
I ran as fast as I could to catch up and warn him, but he disappeared from sight. As I came to the crest of the hill, there he was — crying — blood dripping from his knees — his bike lay on its side. As he saw me he stammered with tears in his eyes: "Auntie Geri, I saw the ocean and I couldn't stop. I had to make myself fall. Please don't tell my momma, she won't let me bring my bike again."
In your life as a tower, how many times have you faced moments like this and had to make a split-second decision? How many times have you seen that ocean, and you weren't quite sure what to do, but knew you needed to decide to do something and do it fast?
Running a business is like riding a bike with training wheels. You go along for a while, making decisions here and there — having those training wheels on for support — and then suddenly you're faced with a curve in your best-laid plans (or in my nephew's case a hill) and those split-second decisions you make sometimes prove to be the right decision and sometimes, not so much.
And, next time you're riding along and "see the ocean," I hope you don't think life can be a "beach," but you really see a beach.

Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook Touch Review
Dell's spunky Ultrabook is a mobile machine designed to minimize roadblocks in whatever it is you're trying to do. Want to tap your way through Windows 8.1? The touchscreen will allow you to do that. Need to edit photos in Photoshop? There's enough horsepower here to get the job done. Need all-day battery life? It's possible, depending on what you're doing with the laptop, and technologies like adaptive brightness and built-in power saving features help make the most of the of 6-cell battery.
There's a lot to like, along with a few minor complaints, all of which we'll cover in detail after the specs:
- 13.3-inch LED backlit touch display with Truelife and Full HD 1080p resolution (1920x1080)
- 4th Generation Intel Core i5 4200 processor (3MB cache, up to 2.6GHz)
- 8GB DDR3L-RS 1600MHz
- Intel HD Graphics 4400
- 128GB mSATA solid state drive
- Intel dual-band Wireless-AC 7260
- Bluetooth 4.0
- 2 x USB 3.0 with PowerShare; mini DisplayPort; Headset jack
- 720p webcam
- Windows 8.1 64-bit
- 0.2-0.7 inches (D) by 8.1 inches (W) by 12.4 inches (L)
- 2.95 pounds
- 1-year enhanced support
What We Liked:
- Sleek and Refined: It used to be that Apple's MacBook Air laptops stood head and shoulders above the competition in terms of style, but that's no longer the case. Dell's XPS 13 Ultrabook Touch is a fine looking machine with subtle touches that stand out, like the angled bezel. It doesn't look boring like some professional laptops do, nor is it remotely obnoxious like some gaming notebooks.
- Pinch, Poke, You Owe Me a Coke: Go ahead and get funky with gestures, like pinch to zoom and all that jazz. Not only will the responsive trackpad oblige, so will the touchscreen display. Tablets have made it almost instinctual to want to reach out and tap on displays in certain situations, and it's nice to know the XPS 13 Touch will respond when you do that.
- Zippy Performance: Outside of high end gaming with all the settings cranked up, this Ultrabook does it all. The Intel Core i5 4200 processor based on Haswell has plenty of firepower to play with, which is flanked by 8GB of RAM and an especially fast 128GB solid state drive -- we saw this sucker pull down read speeds in excess of 530MB/s while writing data at a clip above 320MB/s.
- Great Battery Life: In our rather brutal battery benchmark that measures battery life based on constant usage, the XPS 13 Ultrabook Touch ran for 220 minutes (3 hours and 40 minutes). That's impressive. Bear in mind that most people won't ever tax their laptop non-stop the way our benchmark does, and you could easily squeeze several hours more if you're not engaged in processor-heavy tasks all the time.
- Backlit Keys: Dell's keyboard is pretty comfortable to type on, and when needed, they light up -- yes, it has backlit keys! Too many laptops ignore this feature, so it's nice to see Dell include it here.
What We Didn't Like:
- More Ports, Please!: Connectivity options are limited here -- you get just two USB 3.0 ports and a mini DisplayPort. We'd like to see a third USB 3.0 port, if not a fourth, and a memory card reader for good measure.
- Non-Removable Battery: Keep that power cord handy -- you'll need it when the battery eventually stops holding a charge, which happens to all batteries. Otherwise, you're left with a pretty paperweight.
Our Verdict:
If you don't care about having a touchscreen display and are willing to sacrifice a bit of performance, Dell offers a non-touch XPS 13 Ultrabook starting at $1,049.99. As configured, the one reviewed here runs $1,299.99 and sits in the middle of three baseline configurations.
That's not cheap, but neither are the parts inside – you get a Haswell-class processor, 8GB of RAM, and an extremely fast solid state drive that keeps data flowing. We also like the convenience of a touchscreen in Windows 8.1, especially after we've spent some time tapping on a smartphone or tablet and gotten used to poking at the screen.
There's not much this laptop can't do. Sure, you won't be playing Watch Dogs or other high-end games on this thing, but you can still game with more modest titles. As far as productivity and multimedia chores go, Dell's XPS 13 Ultrabook Touch offers plenty of performance in a portable form factor that looks great and runs for hours on end.
Our Score: 4.5 out of 5

Shorter (24-2, 14-1), which appeared at No. 1 in the newest national poll released Monday night, fell in conference play for the first time this season. The Hawks also missed an opportunity to clinch the East Division's No. 1 seed, which they would have done with a win over the Hornets.
SPSU (21-4, 12-2) avenged its 74-65 loss to Shorter on Jan. 19. The Hornets did so by shooting 41 percent on 37 attempts from the three-point line and rallying from an 11-point second deficit at the half.
Shorter led by as much as 14 points in the game. The Hawks, behind five first-half three-pointers and 21 first-half points from Walter Hill, took a 28-14 lead with just under 10 minutes left until halftime.
SPSU righted the ship with the help of the three-point shot. The Hornets hit seven treys to pull within 44-41 at halftime and then exploded for eight more in the second half to put themselves in position for the upset.
SPSU took its first lead of the second half on a 9-0 run powered by a flurry of three-point shots. The Hornets' Smith hit treys on back-to-back possessions to tie the game at 64, then, after a Shorter turnover, SPSU's Trey Payne connected from deep to put the Hornets up 67-64 with 8:45 to go.
SPSU got the score up to 80-73 with two minutes left, but Shorter had one last push as it turned to full-court pressure. Dante Harvey, who finished with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds, converted a steal into a dunk to draw Shorter within four and after SPSU 's Jesse Childs threw the ball out of bounds on the Hornets' ensuing possession, Hill drilled a three-pointer from the wing with 34 seconds left to bring the Hawks within 83-82.
Smith made two free throws to give the Hornets a three-point lead, and Hill, who scored just three points after halftime, misfired on a potential game-tying three with 7.2 seconds left. Ashton Pitts made two from the foul line to seal the win for SPSU.
Shorter turned the ball over 18 times and although the rebounding totals wound up even at 38, SPSU grabbed 16 offensive rebounds. The Hawks shot 52 percent for the game, but were outscored by 15 points from the three-point line in the second half as Poly drained eight of 15 from beyond the arc in the deciding frame.
Pitts finished with 16 points and Childs with 15 for SPSU, which now stands one game back of Shorter for first in the East Division standings with three conference games remaining. The Hornets take on No. 14 Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn., tonight, and Truett McConnell College at home on Sat., Feb. 18 at 4 p.m.

In this article we present to you a ranger structured PvP build guide focused on the use of spirits. The purpose of this build is to deal heavy conditions (primarily from bleeding and burning) with the use of short-bow and sword/dagger. It has high survivability and high levels of avoidance. The build is incredibly effective and is very much "flavor of the month".
+ Capable of dealing high condition damage
- Is incredibly squishy.
+ Excellent levels of mobility
- Relies heavily on Spirits (which can die easily)
+ Is capable of surviving for long periods of time
- Not as high damage as a trapper build
+ Transfers well to WvW
- Relatively boring play-style due to lack of skill use
+ Can remove conditions easily
- You're likely to get some stick from sPvP players
Please Note: Only summon your spirits just before you engage an enemy. Also, only activate your spirits skills when you can guarantee they get caught in the snare/blind/aoe damage.
- Jaguar (Primary)
- Wolf (Secondary)
- Shark (Primary Underwater)
- Red Jellyfish (Secondary Underwater)
The entire purpose of this build is to burn down players while shielded with your spirits. What makes it formidable is the fact that the spirits activate constantly as a result of their buff (and the rapid fire of the shortbow). It isn't a particularly exciting play style, due the fact you'll only use the shortbow from afar (and its 5 skills) and will only change to sword/dagger when opponents get near.
Overall, it has fantastic survivability and is capable of destroying most professions 1 on 1. You might kill some slower than others (guardians are great at removing the conditions you inflict) but they'll eventually succumb to your rate of fire. Outside of sPvP this build also works exceptionally well in World versus World as a solo roaming build but it does lack swiftness when not in combat.
- Open by summoning all 3 Spirits.
- Unload all your shortbow skills, primarily with Crippling Shot and Poison Volley to keep your opponents under instant pressure.
- Remain at ranged until your shorbow skills are exhausted and/or if your opponent closes the distance.
- Trigger your spirits skills (blind/electrocute/immobilize) and switch to sword/dagger.
- Ensure you remove the auto-attack from your sword as this risks keeping you locked to your target.
- Summon your elite spirit before you encounter a necromancer/engineer or fellow ranger as they are likely to hit you hard with conditions. This allows you to save your Healing Spring.
- Repeat the attack rotation until your opponent is dead, swapping between shortbow/secondary weapon set where necessary.
Revision History
- 02/10/2014 - Update the Skills section with the newest heal spirit that was added after the creation of this guide.

The Federal Government, through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has promulgated regulations and policies that govern the disposal of hazardous wastes. The EPA regulations (40 CFR Subchapter 1) flow from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Further policy guidance is provided in management memoranda.
While the RCRA regulations are the main focus of this study, there is a variety of other Federal legislation that impacts research institutions in this general area. Most notable is legislation related to worker protection, nuclear materials, and clean air. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates worker protection from chemicals and hazards; a Chemical Hygiene Plan must be developed for each laboratory, including work practice standards for handling chemicals, control measures, and additional protection when handling toxic and carcinogenic materials. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulates radioactive waste; however, if the substance is a mixed waste, i.e., if radioactive waste is mixed with hazardous waste, the respective components of the mixture are regulated by NRC and EPA. EPA also regulates the Clean Air Act and is currently considering including Research and Development as a source category of hazardous air pollutants. In addition to the Federal laws, a variety of State laws also govern various aspects of laboratory regulation. These State laws may be more restrictive than the Federal laws.
In order to identify the research community's view of opportunities for streamlining, a workgroup of research institution officials was convened. The workgroup was diverse, containing research investigators, Directors of Health and Safety for research institutions and officials having institutional responsibility for the enforcement of Federal regulations at the institution. This diversity is necessary in order to capture the perspective both of those performing the research and those that are charged with developing, implementing and overseeing the disposal of hazardous wastes. A listing of the individuals serving on this workgroup is included in Appendix 2.
The specific task assigned to the members was to develop proposals to reduce regulatory burden in the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste material. While the members generally concentrated on the impact of RCRA, it was sometimes necessary to include aspects of other regulations in the discussions because of the considerable overlap.
The RCRA regulatory requirements are quite voluminous and quite complex, numbering in the hundreds of pages. In fact, the orientation manual developed by the EPA entitled RCRA Orientation, a manual described as providing an "introduction" to the various facets and basic structure of the RCRA program, is over 200 pages in length. It is obviously not possible to summarize the totality of the regulations for this paper in any meaningful way. What follows are those sections of the regulations that members of the research community find to be most at issue.
In addition, 40 CFR 262.20 requires that a generator that transports hazardous wastes off-site for treatment, storage, or disposal must prepare a detailed manifest. This manifest identifies the institution, the hazardous wastes, the quantities of the wastes and the container types. It also must contain a certification that the information is true, that the institution has a waste minimization program, and that the methods followed are the most practicable and minimize risks to health and the environment. These manifest requirements do not apply to the transportation of hazardous wastes on-site.
In order to put potential issues and solutions into the appropriate context, members identified the intended level of protections, i.e., the objectives that must be achieved if a program of hazardous waste disposal is to be considered effective. It is the members' view that the protections that should be achieved by the federal regulations and the objectives of a credible program are as follows:
In examining existing legislation, regulations, policies and practices, the members agreed that a credible policy of protections regarding hazardous waste disposal had to achieve these objectives. Any changes proposed to reduce regulatory burden should be consistent with, and foster, the achievement of these objectives.
Following the development of the objectives that a hazardous waste disposal program must achieve, the members identified those issues that were of concern. This list includes issues related to the legislation, the regulations and the inconsistency between the States and the Federal government on some aspects of the regulations, interpretation of the regulations and practices of the agencies.
It should be noted that the purpose of the workgroup was not necessarily to come to consensus. While there was general agreement on the issues and the proposed solutions, there was not necessarily unanimity on each.
Regarding the corollary issue of who makes the determination that a material is a waste, the regulations (40 CFR 262.11) state that the person who generates the waste must determine if the waste is hazardous. In a laboratory setting, this would be the scientist. However, there are other individuals better able to make such a determination for the institution; workgroup members contend that there is no obvious disadvantage to allowing them to do so. This definition also triggers training requirements for laboratory workers (e.g., including labeling requirements, definition of appropriate container, method of offering waste for disposal site, etc., in addition to OSHA training requirements) that members observe to be excessive and inefficient.
The net effect of these issues is to question the cost effectiveness of the current waste management requirements as they apply to research institutions and to emphasize the need for flexibility and simplification. The members were very supportive of the approach taken in the proposal drafted by several northeastern universities under EPA's Project XL demonstration program. They believe that it has the potential to tailor a flexible program of hazardous waste management based on performance standards that is more consistent with the research environment. This demonstration project is being proposed by Boston College, the University of Massachusetts-Boston, and the University of Vermont, and is currently in its final stages of negotiation with EPA. It seeks to achieve superior environmental performance by managing wastes under a program that adheres to the spirit of RCRA, but with sufficient flexibility that it avoids many of the inefficiencies that currently occur because of the necessity to adhere to the letter of RCRA. By setting performance standards through a "Laboratory Environmental Management Standard" and seeking exemptions from regulatory language that creates many of the inefficiencies noted above, the Universities intend to demonstrate superior waste management.
As noted above, in developing solutions, the group emphasized the need to assure, at the outset, that these proposed solutions must not compromise the items identified earlier as the intended levels of protection. Many of these solutions are not new and have been recommended by others in various reviews. In addition, many of these recommendations are consistent with the basic provisions of the Project XL draft proposal described briefly above. The members were very supportive of these provisions as they represent changes that the research community has been advocating for many years. Their only misgiving is the frustration that a time-consuming demonstration project is necessary to prove what they perceive to be obvious. While pleased that progress is being made, however slowly, those who operate in the research environment and experience the inefficiencies of the RCRA procedures and their inapplicability to the research environment, are frustrated by the pace and believe that many of these changes should be made immediately. Recommendations from the members are as follows:
In making this suggestion, members reiterate their commitment to sound programs of environmental protection. Their purpose is not to diminish existing protections or to lessen their institution's accountability, but to eliminate overlapping regulations and allow research institutions to adapt the regulations to their environment.
Workgroup members are confident that with the implementation of many or all of these changes, the objective of the NIH initiative would be achieved with respect to the regulations governing hazardous waste disposal – the existing regulatory procedures would be made more efficient without reducing the intended levels of protections.

Do you remember buying a Film Stip Viewer from Woolies?
Posted: January 06, 2013|
In the late 1940s the cinema was a place where friendships grew, relationships blossomed, and Hollywood film stars became idols to millions of people.
It was also where members of the audience were given the chance, for a short while at least, to escape the mediocrity of their own lives and live the lives of their heroes and heroines on the big screen.
TV was still in its infancy and television sets didn't come cheap, so matinees at the local flea pits remained popular, and the more elaborate picture houses, built to evoke the splendour of royal palaces, enjoyed a growing and sustained audience.
Away from the silver screen people still craved their movie idols and favourite animated characters, and Alan Keeling, who has already provided us with many happy memories of those long forgotten programmes we used to watch on the little box in the corner, is able to reacquaint us with a form of entertainment that some Bugle readers may recall very well.
It was in the late '40s that a new product called the 'Film Stip' was launched, that became instantly popular with both children and adults alike. It could be used to educate as well as entertain, was advertised in both newspapers and magazines, and enjoyed overnight success, remaining popular until the mid 1960s.
Alan told us: "To enjoy the Film Stip as the manufacturers had intended you needed a Film Stip Viewer which could be ordered by post or purchased from various stores. I bet a pound to a penny there are Bugle readers like me who remember saving up their pocket money and buying a viewer and a strip of film from good old Woolies. Both the viewers and the various lengths of 35mm film were manufactured at a factory in Edlesborough, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire.
"The viewers were sold in boxes, the film came neatly packaged in paper covers, and most of the film strips were produced in monochrome.
However one or two were occasionally released in colour, much to the delight of collectors. The black and white frames cost 6d for six, a shilling for twelve frames, and fifteen frames would clear out the piggy-bank to the tune of half-a-crown.
"The early Film Stip viewers were made from a rubber-like material, but later on plastics were used, and as regards the film-strips you could buy, there was quite a variety.
Every so often specially packaged items were released, including 'The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth - 1953', a 'Christmas Pantomime Set', and even an instructional strip on 'How to Play Better Golf'.
"Hundreds of other strips were available with subjects raging from 'Ships of H.M.
Navy', 'Blackpool by Day' and 'Whipsnade Zoo'. There were also Disney favourites like Mickey Mouse and Treasure Island, Western favourites like Hopalong Cassidy and John Wayne, and later in the '50s TV favourites such as Robin Hood.
"I personally discovered these pocket-money delights when visiting my local Woolworth's at Bearwood, and still have William Tell, The Buccaneers, Sir Lancelot, Lawman, Dial 999, and two Western Films in my collection.
"Because the viewer was such a great success in the early fifties, it wasn't long before a mains operated 'Stip Master' projector was introduced so that the whole family could view their favourite film strips at the same time.
The Film Stip was a memorable possession in my younger days and a means of entertainment which I'm glad I was able to enjoy. Hopefully there are other Bugle readers who are able to share the same memories as myself"

- Introduction
- Physical and human geography
- History
Virgin Islands, group of about 90 small islands, islets, cays, and rocks in the West Indies, situated some 40 to 50 miles (64 to 80 kilometres) east of Puerto Rico. The islands extend from west to east for about 60 miles and are located west of the Anegada Passage, a major channel connecting the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Their combined land area is about 195 square miles (505 square kilometres).
The islands are administered in two groups—the British Virgin Islands and the United States Virgin Islands. The former is a British colony consisting of four larger islands—Tortola, Anegada, Virgin Gorda, and Jost Van Dyke—and 32 smaller islands and islets, of which more than 20 are uninhabited. Their total area is 59 square miles, and they lie to the north and east of the U.S. islands. The latter group, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior as an unincorporated territory, consists of three larger islands—St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas—and some 50 smaller islets and cays, with a total area of 133 square miles.
The Virgin Islands are noted for their inviting subtropical climate, which attracts a large number of tourists each year to swim in the warm aquamarine waters and frequent the sandy beaches and harbours. Apart from the tourist industry, the islands have few economic resources; financial aid is provided by the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively. Fresh water is scarce. In recent years some tension has arisen between the inhabitants of the islands and people from other parts of the Caribbean who have immigrated, particularly to the United States Virgin Islands, to seek jobs and secure better living conditions.
Physical and human geography
The land
Although the Virgin Islands form the easternmost extension of the Greater Antilles, they are often included in discussions of the Lesser Antilles because of their size and proximity to that island chain. The Virgin Islands themselves are the peaks of submerged mountains that rise from a submarine plateau. While the Caribbean deepens to a 15,000-foot trench between the island of St. Croix, to the south, and the rest of the group to the north, the greater part of the plateau is covered by at most 165 feet of water. Most of the islands rise only to a few hundred feet above sea level, although isolated peaks are well over 1,200 feet. The highest point is Mount Sage on Tortola, which is 1,710 feet (521 metres) high.
Of the 36 British islands, 16 are inhabited. Tortola (Turtle Dove), with an area of 21 square miles, is the largest and is the site of the group's capital and population centre, Road Town. Other larger islands in the British group are Anegada, with an area of 15 square miles; Virgin Gorda (the Fat Virgin), with an area of 8 square miles; and Jost Van Dyke, about 3 square miles. Lesser islands include Great Tobago, Salt, Peter, Cooper, Norman, Guana, Beef, Great Thatch, Little Thatch, and Marina Cay.
About 50 islands and cays constitute the U.S. group. Only three are of importance; several are uninhabited. The largest, St. Croix, is 28 miles long, 84 square miles in area, and lies about 40 miles south of the other islands. The island of St. Thomas, 32 square miles in area, is the site of the territory's capital, Charlotte Amalie. St. John has an area of 20 square miles. At the closest point, between Great Thatch Island and St. John, a distance of only half a mile separates the British and the U.S. groups.
The landscape of the islands offers scenes of dramatic contrast, varying from craggy cliffs and mountaintops to small lagoons with coral reefs and barrier beaches, from landlocked harbours to unprotected bays, and from small, level plains to elevated plateaus with rolling lands and junglelike regions. Individual islands have their own distinguishing characteristics.
In the British group, Tortola, of the same geologic formation as St. John, is hilly, with unbroken ranges running throughout its 15-mile length. Road Bay is Tortola's most important bay; it is exposed to the southeast but protected from all other sides by an amphitheatre of hills. Virgin Gorda, an island with several peninsulas, is rectangular in shape, about 2.5 miles long, and 1.75 miles wide in the central part of the island. Its highest peak rises 1,359 feet. Anegada is the only flat island of the group. Its elevation is never more than 10 to 15 feet above sea level, and its coast, because of its many reefs, is dangerous to boats. Jost Van Dyke is a hilly, almost rugged island with two fine beaches on the south side.
In the U.S. group, St. Thomas, composed primarily of a ridge of hills running east and west with branching spurs, has little level, tillable land. Crown Mountain (1,556 feet), northwest of the capital of Charlotte Amalie, is the island's highest elevation. Charlotte Amalie, facing a fine landlocked harbour, is built on five foothills. There are a number of springs on the island's northern side but only one small stream. Magens Bay, with 3,500 feet of white sandy beach, is reputed to be the finest beach in the West Indies. St. Thomas is surrounded by 17 islands and by cays and innumerable rocks.
St. Croix rises abruptly on the north to Mount Eagle (1,088 feet) and Blue Mountain (1,096 feet), but southward the land slopes to flatlands that near the coast are laced with lagoons. The island's only urban centres, Christiansted and Frederiksted, lie on the flat land. Since the coastal indentations are slight, there are few harbours and sheltered bays; dangerous reefs lie along the north and south coasts. While there are several rivulets on the island, it is generally poorly watered.
St. John—three miles east across Pillsbury Sound from St. Thomas and lying closest to the British Virgin Islands—has steep, lofty hills and valleys but little level, tillable land. Its highest elevations are Camelberg Peak (1,193 feet) and Bordeaux Mountain (1,277 feet). Its coastline is indented with forests and many fine, sheltered bays. Coral Bay, on the eastern end, whose steep shores allow large vessels to come close in, has been described as the best natural harbour in the Virgin Islands. A number of small streams on the south side of St. John, together with a multitude of springs, make it the best-watered island of the U.S. group. More than three-quarters of its area, about 23 square miles (60 square km; including Hassel Island in St. Thomas harbour), is preserved as Virgin Islands National Park.

Zodiac's Tapeless HD Workflow
Apr 11, 2006 11:41 AM, Michael Goldman
The recent spate of high-profile feature films shot with HD cameras has led to a wide range of workflow approaches for industry-watchers to study. At least four of those films—A Prairie Home Companion, Superman Returns, Miami Vice, and Zodiac—will be profiled in upcoming issues of Millimeter and Digital Content Producer, as well as here in HD Focus and at digitalcontentproducer.com.
Of this growing group of HD-acquired features, the first one to adopt an entirely tapeless workflow from camera capture through the final digital intermediate was David Fincher's Zodiac. The movie is slated to debut later this year, and is about the notorious serial killer who terrorized San Francisco in the 1960s and 1970s. Upcoming issues of Millimeter and Digital Content Producer will cover different aspects of Zodiac's workflow, built around Viper FilmStream cameras recording to specially configured hard drives called D.MAG Digital Film Magazines from S.two of Reno, Nev. The "digital negative" emerging out of those hard drives was backed up each day to LTO data tape during production, and imagery eventually will be reloaded from those data tapes for making the final digital intermediate master at the very end of the movie-making process.
Fincher and his team worked out many of the project's workflow issues during production on five commercial projects created in the last couple of years. But Peter Mavromates, postproduction supervisor on Zodiac, says that among the project's many challenges was the fact that Fincher asked S.two engineers to build new capabilities into the digital recording system that were not originally incorporated into the technology.
"One example is that David wanted the ability to delete takes on set," says Mavromates. "They originally designed the system so that you could never delete anything on set, as a safety precaution. But David wanted to delete takes that weren't working, so they went back and added that capability for him.
"Another example: David asked for the ability to automatically slate footage. We did not have a clapper on the set. So what they added was a capability for the data-capture person who throws the hard drives into record mode to enter basic information for a scene and whatever is recorded. The first frame is a framing chart and next five frames are a slate, automatically inserted, and then it goes to what he filmed. And the feature also means the data-capture person does not have to do anything from the second take onward. The last frame of the take provides a window to record other information, like lens height, lens length, aperture, and other conditions—those get burned into the very last frame of the take. That's important for tracking purposes in editorial, and it functions the same way a traditional clapper would. It's just that our slate is digital, not physical.
"They added several things like that to make the process more seamless. But there are other things David is asking for, and we hope to have them in place for future projects. For instance, David is pushing for more metadata to travel through the system. But we've already shown that we can do this without tape, and it will only get better from here."
See the June issue of Millimeter for a look at Zodiac's editorial remote collaboration pipeline, and an upcoming issue of Digital Content Producer for an in-depth examination of the movie's tapeless workflow.

American Muslim Women Heed the Call of the President
The community outreach program of the AMC includes providing nonperishable food to food banks, cooking and providing meals at homeless shelters, mentoring and tutoring youth and adults, offering free medical help, working with abused women, donating school supplies, and providing monetary donations to various charitable organizations. More than 1,000 women volunteer in different areas to serve 2,000 to 3,000 needy citizens each month. The AMC has organized weekend classes for children 7-15 years-old. These classes are not just religious in nature; they are also used to train the children to become better citizens of America and participate in serving their communities.
As a member of AMC, I have been directly involved in community outreach programs. For the past six years, my husband and I have been regular volunteers at the Gaithersburg Help food pantry in Gaithersburg, MD. It is indeed heart warming to know that just by donating two hours of our time each month we can make a difference in the lives of others. My 9 year-old daughter has been a pantry worker since she was 3 years-old. I wanted her to learn and appreciate the blessings of God and teach her to be compassionate.
The Lajna Imaillah will launch its "Feed the Hungry" project across the country on August 22, the first day of the Muslim month of Ramadan (the month of fasting), and will end this special initiative on September 19. We will work in soup kitchens, organize food drives for food banks, and provide bagged lunches to homeless shelters. During this time, we will not only be responding to the President's call for service, but we will also be following the teachings of the Qur'an: "O ye who believe! Spend of the good things that you have earned, and of what We produce for you from the earth." (2:268). I cannot think of a better way to express our concern and compassion than by observing the fast and feeling the pain and hunger of those who are less fortunate.

To the Editor:
Fascism, Communism's stepchild. For over 90 years, Americans have been told Fascism is "right wing political philosophy." Even Americans who consider themselves conservative politically have bought into the "left wing – right wing" myth and therefore believe Fascism is "on the right."
Since Fascism's modern appearance between 1919 -1922 with the Italian dictator Mussolini, along with the rise of political personality cults, Fascism has become the left's expendable stepchild. Fascism's actual political roots go back to the Roman Empire.
When hard core leftists (Socialists – Communists) cannot argue the truth of political history or the reality of economics and social philosophy in the arenas of ideas, their fallback position is to call the conservative a crypto Fascist. This tactic is designed to neutralize the conservative because leftists are counting the propoganda of the last 90 years to have had its effect meaning the political electorate believes Fascism a right wing political philosophy. Fascism is not a right wing political philosophy, it's left wing.
If there were a left wing and right wing, God-given freedom would be on the right and all the "isms" (tyranny) of history would be on the left. Fascism has been placed on the right in order to bring reproach on freedom (God-given). As stated before, Fascism was expendable. It was deemed so after the disaster Mussolini made of it. Not wanting it associated with anything on the left, it was reconstituted a right wing political philosophy by the media.

I had difficulty paying $10 for a glass of wine. also their chicken teriyaki was a small amount. They need to think about children and maybe have a children's menu. the place was happy and they tried hard to g ive good service. I was very unhappy with their halibut sushi.
Posted by SushiGuy on 03/15/2012
I'm a big Sushi guy. I live near this place and love having it around the corner. It has good fresh sushi. It has a fun atmosphere. The wait staff is young, so sit at the sushi bar if you can. All sushi is pricey - this place is middle of the pack. I'd reco it to friends.
Posted by Anonymous on 03/25/2011
Irori is hands down the best sushi. You can cut the sushi with your chopsticks without an ounce of struggle. The quality is amazing. We love it.
Posted by anonymous on 03/08/2011
I have been going to Irori before it actually became Irori, and it has always been a place for great food. As with most Japanese restaurants, the lunch menu is a lot less expensive than the dinner menu. The lunch boxes they offer are a great deal at $9.50 to $12.50, and offer a lot of different option. The food is always super-fresh, the salad dressing is probably the best in town, and their miso soup is just as well. The atmosphere is very authentic, with beautiful raised wooden floors and nice Japanese ambience. Most of the time, service is good as well, even though they do have their off-days where food is slow to come and waitresses are grumpy. But since the food is always good, and the lunch menu is a really good deal, I am willing to deal with the occasional grumpy waitress.

Great Sushi
Posted by Anonymous on 08/07/2010
We enjoy the ambiance. You remove your shoes before being seated in recessed seating, so it pays to think about what you are wearing. Pencil skirts/ boots/ dirty socks could be embarressing! Food is consistantly good.
Posted by John F on 08/06/2010
I went to this place after reading the reviews on this site. We went there during lunch and the place was pretty busy. I enjoyed having to remove my shoes at the door. After being greeted, two of my friends and I sat at the bar. We ordered three lunch boxes and two large sushi/sashimi assortment plates. The lunch boxes came with miso soup, a side salad, rice, a small amount of cucumber salad, a small amount of bean sprouts, and either one or two entrees (we each got two entrees). It felt like it was a good amount of time before the food came, but we were all very hungry and no one was actually timing, so who knows how long it actually was. When the food came, we had to shuffle things around to make room for all the plates. The food was excellent quality and we all felt full and/or satisfied after eating. The price we paid was on par for what three people would pay for all-you-can-eat sushi for dinner. In summation, the food quality was good, the service was good, the price we paid was nothing unexpected, and the environment was good. Please note that if you're looking for a sushi place with all kinds of crazy rolls, covered in crazy sauces, to satisfy your crazy self, then this is not the place for you or if you're looking for cheap sushi.

The city's tax rate will remain the same at 9.50 mills for the coming year as it has in the past eight years, which is definitely good news for city taxpayers. The 2014 city budget and employee pay scale were also unanimously adopted.
The Oct. 7 meeting began with a report from Main Street Gray Manager Jennifer Baggarly, who announced the date for the organization's volunteer appreciation dinner is Nov. 21. She said details about the event would be released at a later date.
Under new business, a public hearing was held on the issue of the rezoning of 10.23 acres of land located on Highway 18E. The land was zoned R-1, single family residential, and the request was to rezone it to R-3, multifamily residential, for the purpose of building a nursing home.
The question was asked of petitioner Chap Nelson what would happen to the property if the nursing home did not come to fruition. Nelson said the company has already taken substantial steps and investments to make sure it does.

As usual, I'm scrambling to stay on top of my blog reading; with so many talented bloggers out there, it's impossible to keep up! Lately I'm especially fond of The Iconic Blog. From sunglasses to sandals, pizza to peonies, Melanie is the authority on the good life. Plus she travels extensively and takes her camera everywhere--for vicarious luxury at its very best!
Erika at 2 by Design describes herself as 'a writer by profession and an interior designer by passion'. You won't want to miss a single morsel of her hilarious words or her gorgeous images! Pay special attention to her titles (Suicide by Ceiling Fan! Teak It Down a Notch!) and her ability to create a mood board for every occasion under the sun.
Finally, it's not really a blog, but it is a must-visit. Ikea just launched LIVE FAMILY--a new resource for interiors inspiration. Upload your own photos to the flickr pool--you might later see them in the official gallery or even have your home featured! And if all else fails, at least you'll get some ideas on how to position your new Brygga ;)

European Enduro Series Round 1 Punta Ala
Indeed, it was a fun race. Great trails. Superb location on the beach. Like at Rallye Sweden in WRC its hard to catch the riders that know the trails and the soil from many more national races, but finally some non-italian riders enter the top ten. And later that year the series will go on at very different locations and trails so for the overall everything is possibile still, even if someone missed round 1 of the EESxs.

The Cam Positions and the Cut and Zero Editor made extra info features about the radness of the Chosen Lines helped to not Trust the verdict of the judgement.
