This course covers the entire photographic workflow in Apple Aperture, from import to enhancement to output. Author Derrick Story covers organizing image collections with star ratings, labels, and Smart Albums, and using the image editing tools to adjust exposure, retouch flaws, and correct color balance issues. And one of the most noteworthy features in Aperture is explored in detail: its ability to store video clips alongside the stills from digital cameras, then combine them to create stunning multimedia slideshows.
This course was updated on 10/03/12. Updated movies cover the features added through version 3.3, including Retina display support, iCloud photo sharing, streamlined integration with iPhoto, and much more.
We'll combine two tools in this discussion, mainly because they are both so easy to use. Straighten, and we're actually going to talk about Flip too. So, we'll have a two-for-one here in this movie. So, let me show you how the Straightening tool and the Flip tool both work. So, we're going to work on this image right here. I am just going to hit the V key for this waterfall in Yosemite. Now you'll notice that I did get the horizon just a little bit off here, shame on me.
And so at the bottom here we have some of our handy tools. We've already talked about Crop and Quick Brushes. We'll get to Red Eye, but right now we're going to use the Straighten tool. This is pretty fun. So, let's just go to Straighten tool and you get this little icon here, and all you have to do is click, and then just start moving. And you can move your image so that it lines up, and most of the time you're going to be lining the horizon, or some sort of horizon line up with the grid. And then you get it the way you want.
What's nice about this tool is that it's really - it straightens, and it crops at the same time, so that when you let go, you don't have any weird open spaces here, because you've angled the image around. And if you want to make another change, you can do that. You just go ahead and click on it again while you're in the Straighten tool, and continue to play. Very straightforward, very easy-to-use, but very nice when you have a crooked horizon. A simple tool sometimes is the right tool. When you're done with that, just go ahead and click back to your Pointer.
Now, I want to show you Flip too, so what if you wanted to make the falls coming from the wrong direction? Well, you can do that. You go up to your Adjustment pop- up window here, and you go to Flip. And you have a couple of different Types. You have the Horizontal Flip, which we just did. Then you have the Vertical Flip, which would turn it upside down, and then you have Horizontal and Vertical. So, if you want to make the falls coming from the wrong direction, you can do that. If you want to have them coming from the right direction, you just choose to unflip your image.
And again, it doesn't really require much more explanation than that, wouldn't you say so?

The Donate feature is currently under re-development. It shouldn't be long, I've been told.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
I will keep a watch. One last question about the update feature. Do I run a game and the do the Nintendo site update when asked or is it somthing else I should do?
if you run a game and it says sys update it's just the disc update from that disc (you won't go to 4.2 )
but it will install some important ios's for softmodding etc.. like ios 15
if you installed like say 4.0 sysmenu run a game with 3.3 on it it will ask to update, just do it, you will stay at 4.0 with the profits of the update from that disc
from there on you can go softmodding again and install what you want on it
if you use dop ios mod to install missing ios's use the v11.5 since .3 and .4 can cause channel freezes

text: A Law Library offers a law librarian that can help you with both book and online legal research. This is important because the Internet isn't "do it yourself." It can be unreliable and confusing. This is particularly true with legal research as many people need an explanation of what the law is before they can begin research. It is important to understand the nuances of legal research such as what a statute is, how case law is limited in its availability, and why regulations are an often overlooked source of law.A Law Library also offers access to fee-based online legal research at no cost to the library patron. The law librarian plays a critical role in this access because he or she can provide instruction on how to use these resources which are often awkward to use at first. Isn't everything regarding the law online anyway? No. Everything isn't available online. For example, libraries retain older material not available online. But, more importantly, not everything available online is available for free. Many online legal research providers charge significant fees for use of their products. And, even if everything were available online for free, not everyone has access to the Internet.

Those of us who travel in these circles (and certainly more and more golfers who troll the internet for the latest in equipment gossip and news) are getting used to the image: TaylorMade CEO Mark King bounding up toward a stage, slapping high fives on all sides from staff and clients like company endorsee Hale Irwin reenacting the 1990 U.S. Open at Medinah, leading full-throated exaltations over the latest TaylorMade innovation, and oozing equal parts televangelist and telemarketer (even the most jaundiced observer concedes King, who is a hot ticket at corporate conferences lately and gets a healthy five-figures a speech as a client of the Washington Speakers Bureau, is doing a better Steve Jobs than even Steve Jobs ever did).
What we're seeing is indeed a familiar site, another product introduction from TaylorMade. This time it's the company's new game-improvement iron, the R11, a sleeker-looking game improvement iron that incorporates multiple elements of the company's core iron technologies, including thin-faced inverted cone face design, progressive size and center of gravity locations through the set and a newly engineered groove design that attempts to break new ground in the groove debate.
But aside from the trappings of the video and despite the dearth of specific technology detailed in King's sermon, what's memorable, what is meaningful and educational about the state of the industry today is not exactly what King says, but how he says it. Most notable is the moment in which he extolls the idea that the R11, like all TaylorMade products, is special because of the unique passion of the people in his charge. He talks about an idea instilled by right-hand man Sean Toulon, executive vice president of club creation, "This will sound a little corny but I really believe it, but because of the love that the people of our company put into these clubs, Sean and I believe that the reason this is the most outstanding club ever is that it has a heartbeat."
Therein, the man who leads one of the two most successful companies in golf provides a clue as to what makes TaylorMade tick. King certainly believes in his company's technological merits, but he makes TaylorMade as a brand just seem cooler than so many others. That hasn't been the case for his backyard neighbor since that company's namesake stopped appearing in commercials or calling out rivals at trade show press conferences held in overflowing hotel ballrooms.
When Callaway announced last month that George Fellows was stepping away and board member Tony Thornley was taking over as interim CEO, the message was clear: A change of direction was needed. Thornley, who by all accounts has eagerly moved into the position with frequent staff emails and a daily presence that the previous administration lacked, mirrors King in that he is an avid, accomplished golfer. But it seems fair to say that at 64, his role may be more transitional than transformative. The challenge for Callaway is to find an inspirational, passionate leader like the one it used to have, like the one it sees in TaylorMade's company videos.
First, just look at the heads of the top golf companies today and you'll see passionate golfers at every turn: Wally Uihlein at Acushnet, Chip Brewer at Adams Golf, Greg Hopkins at Cleveland/Srixon, Cindy Davis at Nike, John Solheim at Ping and the aforementioned King. Might Callaway lure away one of these proven leaders? None would come easily, but if not, they need their own version.
The leading in-house candidate might be senior vice president U.S. Jeff Colton, but is there a better current voice of the company than chief endorser Phil Mickelson? Mickelson may not want to give up the chase for history and that elusive first U.S. Open, but no player currently in golf exudes a brand passion like Lefty McThrillsville. He even made a phone call extolling the virtues of Callaway's technology while on contract to another company. What's more, like Mark King, people believe him when he speaks, they're eager to high-five him as he walks by and, most importantly, he's eager to high-five them.
Mickelson might not take the job if offered, but he would be an intriguing rival to King. In the end, whoever that new leader might be at Callaway, he or she needs the heartbeat King so proudly talks about and wears openly on his sleeve.

CPAP and BiPAP Therapy
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder that can be treated using a CPAP or BiPAP machine. A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is a device to provide positive flow of air into the nasal passages so the patient's airway stays open during sleep. These devices come in a number of different types of facial masks. Some masks are small, however larger masks may be needed if the patient's apnea is severe. These masks are connected to a machine that can sit on a patient's nightstand.
A Bi-level Positive Airway Pressure (BiPAP) is a device to help patients get more air into their lungs. This is generally used when a patient needs positive

Angelina costs Kevin his wedding, Billy makes a split-second decision, and Nikki hits the bottle again.
At the church, Michael frets as Angelo takes Kevin with him to Devon's studio to help Angelina. Lauren, Fen, Gloria, Daniel, and Eden arrive. Jack and Gen enter with Kyle. Jack announces Kyle will be going to school in Lake Placid. Lauren congratulates Gen and Jack on their engagement. Phyllis arrives and asks if anyone's seen Nick. He appears with Faith and Avery. Phyllis tells him Summer has the sniffles, and asks him to be sure Avery's not around during his Daddy/Summer days.
At the Chancellor estate, Billy learns that Delia has clearance from her doctor to go to the wedding. Chloe, Vikki, Jill, Esther, Murphy and Katherine all celebrate. Delia gets into her dress and everyone raves. Vikki appears in red, and Billy says she looks as beautiful as the day he married her. Chloe follows - she looks stunning. Murphy says Kevin is one lucky guy. Billy and Murphy go. Vikki and Chloe marvel over being friends, bond with the older women, and hug Delia.
At Gloworm, Nikki tells Deacon she's meeting Michael, and asks him to get out of her space. Deacon says it's Christmas Eve, and he misses her. She says she loathes him. He suggests they go to an AA meeting. She says he lied about being at the park the night Diane died. He implies that he left work and witnessed the murder. She pushes him away and leaves.
Sharon visits Victor and wishes him a Merry Christmas. He asks her to go home. Sharon says they're both alone - he should let her stay. Nikki arrives and questions Sharon being there. Nikki tells Victor she came to see him because he's alone. He bellows, "Obviously I'm not." Nikki is hurt, and leaves. Sharon calls him on shutting everyone out, adding it's time he let someone in. Sharon brought him books - he smiles that she's done the impossible - put him in the holiday spirit. They compare notes on Christmas. Sharon reads to him.
At the studio, Devon tells Kevin they need him for one take - Angelina needs to see his face. Angelo leaves for the church, telling Kevin he can go once the take is wrapped. When Kevin leads Angie out, she pretends to faint. He ushers her outside, worrying that she'll puke in the car. She says she's pregnant from Carmine. Kevin moans that he's dead. Suddenly, they get shot at. Angie says it was Carmine - he thinks the baby is Kevin's. Kevin jams her in the car. She tells him they can't go to the church - Carmine will be waiting. The only way to protect Chloe is to run.
Billy arrives at the church and tells Jack that Delia is coming. Murphy says all the girls will be there soon. Jack teases Billy about re-marrying Vikki. Billy says it will happen when it happens. Jill and Katherine arrive. Jill calls Gen 'Bridezilla' when she learns of her engagement. Lauren spots Eden with Daniel and asks what's going on. They smirk. Angelo appears and tells Michael that Kevin will be along any minute. He realizes Chloe has arrived and gasps, "Oh no." He admits Kevin isn't there yet. Chloe confronts Angelo, who insists Kevin was right behind him. Chloe's phone rings - it's Kevin calling off the wedding - he's afraid she would get hurt if they got married. He says he's sorry. Chloe hangs up and tells Billy and Vikki there's not going to be a wedding tonight. She muses it's a shame for all this to go to waste. Vikki goes to make the announcement. Billy wants to ask Chloe something. She tells him to do it. As Vikki announces that Kevin and Chloe aren't getting married, Billy whispers for her to say that it doesn't mean there won't be a wedding. He has her ask them to stay while she marries the man she loves. Chloe nods her approval. Everyone claps.
Nikki returns to Gloworm and orders a drink as Deacon watches, shaking his head. Deacon approaches and asks what drove her back to the booze. She says he's full of it. He says all he wants to do is take care of her. She gets a text that Vikki's getting married and heads out drunkenly. Deacon tries to call her a cab.
In Kevin's car, Angie hums and he huffs in frustration.
At the church, Chloe agrees to stand up with Victoria and they embrace. Jack jokes that Billy's going to beat him to the altar. Lauren and Gloria speculate on what's happened with Kevin. Katherine hopes Nikki hurries.
Nikki is unconscious behind the wheel of her car - she's hit a tree.

The X Factor
What Are The Former X Factor USA Contestants Up To?
Well, the first season of The X Factor is finally over, and it's been one heck of an exciting roller-coaster ride. Melanie Amaro took away the five-million-dollar grand prize with an explosive finale performance, and...well, we've had plenty to say about that.
But what about the others? What about Josh Krajcik, Chris Rene, and beyond?
Well, naturally, both of the other finalists had nothing but high praise for the big winner. Krajcik "couldn't be happier" for Amaro, and Rene offered his blessing with a characteristic "good job, homie!" And now that the dust has cleared, these guys have to figure out what they're going to do with their post-X Factor lives.
Fortunately for them, Simon Cowell has left the door open for some hardcore record-signing. Granted, it might not be a guaranteed five million bucks, but Cowell did announce that "[t]here is a lot of interest" in Krajcik, Rene, and some others. Indeed, "[t]here's going to be quite a few that are going to get deals."
Which others, you ask? Why, it should come as no surprise that the rambunctious and (mostly) unapologetic Brian Bradley, aka Astro, should still be garnering some "interest." And now that he's got a freshly released mix tape (perhaps humorously titled LΦSER) out, Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, and the other brains behind The X Factor can even better assess whether The Astronomical Kid will bring in some astronomical profits.
Throw in Rachel Crow, who should soon be showing up on TV shows across The Disney Channel, and Drew Ryniewicz, who recently stirred up some buzz by covering Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" to YouTube acclaim, and we have every confidence that at the very least, most of these folks won't have much to hold against Melanie Amaro in a few years — if not in a few months, or sooner!

At AlWood Elementary School in Alpha, Illinois, when there's a problem, students flock to one student.
"I can tell him my secrets and he won't tell anybody," Cadence Hulick said, a 4th grader at AlWood Elementary. "He's one of my best friends."
His name is Al, but he's also called Super Al.
"He's the teachers' favorite," said 5th grader Madison Lindsey.
That explains why Al stays out of trouble, even when he isn't on his best behavior.
"If he picks on me, I just let him," Chris Fiedler said, an art teacher at AlWood. "Sometimes he will mimic me."
Al is unlike his peers. He's green, speaks broken English and has wings.
"His full name is Al Wood Ace," Fiedler said with a smirk. "He is our parrot."
When students at the small school step off their bus, they walk through the doors and are immediately greeted with a squawk from Al. Kids of all ages surround his cage, chanting, "pretty bird" and "want a cracker?"
"He's helped a lot of the kids calm down and enjoy coming to school," Fiedler said, glancing at Al's cage that sits just feet from the main entrance.
Al was brought to AlWood Elementary nearly five years ago. He serves as a therapy pet for the school: teachers say it has worked.
"He will talk to me," Lindsey said while handing a small cashew to Al. He snatched it from her hand and climbed to the top of his cage.
The halls of AlWood now echo with talk of summer vacation, but everyone knows that they will see their feathery friend again in the fall.

Education - The picture
Over the past number of years, the opportunities for children to go to school have improved considerably in Mozambique. In absolute terms, the number of children in lower primary grades rose from 1.7 million in 1997 to 2.8 million in 2003. During this period, the school network grew substantially, with the number of lower primary schools increasing from 6,114 in 1998 to 8,077 in 2003. The net enrollment rate for lower primary grades (EP1 - grades 1 to 5) reached 69% in 2003 compared to 44% in 1997.
Due to the very low quality of education, drop out rates are high and completion in primary schools remains well below the regional average. However, the numbers of teachers did not increase proportionally. This led to an increase of the teacher-pupil-ratio to 1:66 in EP1 from 1:61 in 1997. The proportion of unqualified teachers has also risen from 30 percent in 1997 to 42 percent in 2003. The quality of teaching is closely linked to the availability, competence and morale of teachers, who continue to face serious problems, including low salaries, lack of an adequate pedagogical support and teaching materials.
And the HIV/AIDS pandemic has a high impact on the teaching cadre, too. It is estimated that between 2002 and 2006 about 2,700 teachers will be lost to HIV/AIDS.
Due to the very low quality of education, drop out rates are high and completion in primary schools remains well below the regional average and hinders progress towards the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Education for All (EFA) and, more broadly, a sustained reduction in poverty. In 2003, only 38.7 per cent of children starting school managed to pass the exam after grade 5.
Despite progress in increasing the overall enrollment, large disparities remain when it comes to gender equity. The enrollment rate for boys stood at 72.4% in 2003 compared to 66.4 % for girls. There are many reasons behind gender disparity in education. Some families do not place enough importance on the girls' education. Families in poorer families tend to choose to keep the girls at home to help with domestic work or to assist with income generation.
Another contributing factor is the often long distance to the next school; the average is 4.5 km. Schools in general are not girl-friendly or even safe. Many schools do not have a water supply or separate toilets for girls. And girls are at risk of sexual abuse on their way to school as well as once in school.
Poor children in general are less likely to be enrolled in school because they often need to work to survive, cannot afford school costs or live far away from schools. Children orphaned and made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS are particularly at risk of dropping out of school.

Current Respiratory Medicine Reviews, 05/07/2012
Recent studies suggest that active infection with Cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), EBV or human herpes virus 6 (HHV–6) is also relatively common in ICU patients. Furthermore, an association between the presence of a CMV or HSV infection and increased mortality in critically ill patients was found. At present it is not clear whether this is intrinsically related to the micro–organism itself or merely an indication of the patients deteriorating physical condition leading to viral reactivation. To date the value of ganciclovir and acyclovir prophylaxis and/or treatment is unclear.

Afrojack has released the following mix to help support victims of the Philippines recent typhoon tragedy, asking fans to donate via Red Cross, on his Soundcloud page.
Meanwhile, you might have caught Eminem's indirect swipe at Afrojack at MTV's EMA's this past weekend, when told by Will Farrell's Ron Burgandy character that "Afrojack was talking shit about [you]". Em responded "Who?!" twice, either not knowing who Afrojack was, or actually throwing a jab back at Jack. Afro teamed with Snoop Dogg to release the following video on Facebook yesterday, in response to the incident.

Lass, S. and Vos, M. and Wolinska, J. and Spaak, P. (2005) Hatching with the enemy: Daphnia diapausing eggs hatch in the presence of fish kairomones. Chemoecology, 15, 7-12. ISSN 0937-7409.

Infochemicals are known to play a key role in mediating predator-prey interactions, both in aquatic and terrestrial communities. However, state-dependent variation may exist in how effectively individuals can use this information, depending on genotype, life stage and experience. For our study, we used the predator-prey model system fish-waterflea Daphnia magna Straus (Cladocera, Daphniidae). Adult Daphnia use fish-derived infochemicals, so-called kairomones, as indicators of predation risk, and exhibit a spectrum of morphological, behavioural and life-history responses to the presence of fish kairomones. Here, we investigate whether diapausing eggs, an embryonic resting stage in the life cycle of D. magna, also use fish kairomones and tune their hatching to the risk of fish predation, as reported for diapausing stages of dinoflagellates. In two laboratory experiments, we studied hatching proportion and time until hatching of D. magna diapausing eggs in the absence and presence of fish kairomones. D. magna families differed significantly in their response to the presence of fish kairomones; some families reduced hatching proportion, whereas others increased it. Our results imply genotype-dependent differences in the hatching reactions to fish kairomones as observed for other traits in adult Daphnia.

Jan 10 (Reuters) - Texas Governor Rick Perry will take part in the New Hampshire primary election on Tuesday, as he competes for the Republican Party's nomination to oppose President Barack Obama in the November U.S. presidential election.
Here are some facts about him.
* The 61-year-old is the longest-serving governor in Texas history. He is considered a solid Tea Party candidate because of his staunch opposition to abortion and gay marriage, and support for limited government. He bills himself as a Washington outsider.
* Perry shot to the top of polls in August when he entered the race, but fell back after a string of poor debate performances. In a November debate, he forgot the name of one of three government agencies he has pledged to eliminate if elected president. He also called the Social Security retirement program a fraudulent Ponzi scheme. He came in fifth place in last week's Iowa polls.
* Perry has come under fire from Republican rivals for moderate immigration positions and ordering that young girls in Texas be inoculated for a sexually transmitted virus.
* In an incident that has become famous, Perry said he shot dead a coyote that he felt had threatened his daughter's dog as he jogged on a trail near Austin in 2010. He said he needed just one shot from the laser-sighted pistol he sometimes carries to protect himself from snakes when he runs.
* At a December Republican debate, Perry compared himself to National Football League quarterback Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos, who has won several games this season with late comebacks after lackluster starts.
* In 2009, Perry pondered his state's secession from the United States. At a Tea Party event in Austin supporters shouted "secede" and Perry said Texas might want to "if Washington continues to thumb their nose at the American people."
* Perry was a Democrat when he entered politics in the mid-1980s as a member of the Texas House of Representatives and was the Texas chairman of Al Gore's 1988 presidential campaign. He switched parties in 1989 and later became agriculture commissioner, lieutenant governor and then governor in 2000 after George W. Bush was elected U.S. president.

An accurate perspective drawing is an essential base for most matte paintings. Learn how to create linear perspective drawings of a castle in Adobe Photoshop with this course, and migrate the lessons to your own project. David Mattingly, a matte artist for many groundbreaking motion pictures, teaches you about the three types of perspective, and how to set up vanishing points, find and rough in the forms in your painting, add detail like crenellations, draw ellipses, and polish the final drawing.
Note: This installment of Digital Matte Painting Essentials builds on the concept sketch from the first course, but it's not necessary to have those files to proceed.
Next, we want to define this causeway or bridge at the front of the castle. But doing that it slightly more complicated. The bridge needs to be centered on the front of the lower box of the castle. It won't look right if it's off center. When not working in perspective, you could just measure the distance across the box, and divide it in two. But that won't work in perspective. Here is a simple trick you'll use all the time to divide up surfaces in perspective. Draw an X across a box to find its center point.
If you draw a vertical line through that point, you now have the center of that surface. I want to open up a work file to show you this division technique in more detail. If your a premium member of lyna.com and want to follow along using that file it's available in the Excercise Files folder for this class. First I want to show you an example of divisions that are not drawn in perspective. This file I just opened has two lines of convergents that vanage to the left.
Make a new layer. Choose a brush that's around four pixels wide and draw a vertical line by holding down on the Shift key. Then, Cmd+Option or Ctlr+Alt+Shift+Drag to duplicate the line and drag it horizontally. That creates a new layer. So, merge those two layers together. Then select both lines and again, Cmd+Option or Ctlr+Alt+Shift+Drag the lines to the left so that the first and last lines overlap precisely.
Then make sure the distance between the three lines are exactly the same. Select the three lines and drag duplicate them again, making sure the lines lineup as before. Now we have five equally spaced lines in space. Select all of them, and put them right on top of the line, that is bounded by the lines of convergence. I'm going to spread these apart more so that you can see this more clearly. But the divisions between the lines are still exactly equal.
Clip off the top and bottom of the line so that they match the lines of convergence. Now that these equally spaced lines are placed in perspective, they no longer look equal. Notice that this first division looks like the largest, and the second one looks smaller. The third one is smaller yet and the last one closest to the viewer looked smallest of all. Let me undo the clicking on the top and bottom of the lines so we can use them again later. Then hide them then a new layer so we can experiment with that x trick I showed you before on the castle.
Draw a vertical line to define a rectangle on our lines of convergents that we'll divide up into perspective. Draw an x starting from each of the corners across the rectangle. Where that x meets is the center of the rectangle divided up into proper perspective or the half way point. You can see that outer perspective. These distances don't look the same. But in perspective they look equal. If you draw another line from the vanishing point to that center point in the square, you divide the box in half vertically.
And you can use that to get other divisions horizontally. If I draw another line corner to corner through this first division, where it intersects that line we just draw is the center of that section, will do the same thing for that front section and now we have divide the square into four seen proper perspectives. That works great for quickly figuring out the center of a rectangle, or dividing up a surface into a few divisions. But what if you want to break a surface up into a lot of segments? Luckily, Photoshop provides a great way to divide up any number of segments in perspective using the distort tool.
Let me turn back on that layer I saved with the five equally spaced lines that were not in perspective. For this trick to work, whatever you're distorting must be flat and not in perspective as Photoshop adds the perspective to it. I'm going to transform these lines to reduce the distance between them so I can get more inside of this document. But the distance between them remains equal. Select all of the lines in option or alt drag copy them as we did before, overlapping the first and last line so that we get exactly equal divisions again.
Repeat that until you get a lot of divisions, it doesn't really matter how many, this will work for any number. Select all of the lines and Cmd or Ctrl+Press the right or left arrow key to reduce the selection to just the area containing the lines. You want your selection to be as small as possible to get the best control from the distort tool. Press Cmd or Ctrl+T to invoke the transform tool and then right click and choose Distort from the drop down menu.
Distort let's you move any of the corners wherever you want. And you want to match the lines to the lines of convergence in this example. You also want to make sure that the right and left edges of the Distort Bounding box remain vertical. If the guides lean to the right or left, you'll get incorrect divisions. So, make sure they remain vertical. Carefully line up the corner points of the Distort tool to the edges of the section you want to divide up.
When you're satisfied with the alignment, press the Return or Enter key to accept the distortion. When using this technique the lines that have been distorted the most could become faint. But you can darken them up by selecting all and optional roll right or left arrow keys to duplicate the lines in place. So there you have it. The area we selected divided up into 15 equal segments in perspective. In the course of doing your perspective drawing, you use these techniques over and over in various ways depending on how many divisions you need on a form.
In the next lesson, we'll get back to our castle and continue on our perspective drawing.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Macrotek Great product We've been using Chat Tars for quite a few years. Our Lab loves them. Though small, they have become that 'extra' little treat that not only pleases, but cleans her teeth. Locally they are somewhat hard to find and rather on the expensive side. Great to find them at Chewy at a very good price. Old Mother Hubbard offers excellent products. May 29, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5Â by starrr Favorite Winter Jeans I love these pants. I especially appreciate the texture/pattern of the white. It gives them a nice look...very textile. The stitching is three rows deep, made so sturdy. They fit perfect. In love. I'm 5' 3" 130lbs...have hips...wearing the 29. I'm also wearing them right now! 12.20.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by (: Not so "skinny" at the ankles These jeans are lovely and have a flattering fit. But, I like my skinny jeans to be skinny all throughout, and these are more bootcut on the ankle and loose around the calves. Because of this I will be returning, but if you don't mind then go for it! PS- sizing up might work for you, as these jeans can sometimes be a wee bit tight 8.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mmee Even better than the picture! I'm SO happy I decided to go ahead and order these very cool skinnies and personally, I think they look even better in person. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is that they do gap a little in the waist for me, but I often have that prob with jeans/pants because I have narrow hips and not much of a butt. :-) A few things to help you here: I'm 5'5"/112lbs and the Size 25 fits me perfectly. Keep in mind what I said above and that I have fairly skinny legs..and the fit of these jeans IS quite snug. I'm also rather long-legged/short waisted and the length of these - perfecto. Even thos FP calls these "lightweight" skinnies, you could def wear them year round. I mean...they're not THAT lightweight and they don't scream "spring/summer." If you like the way these jeans look in the pictures, buy 'em at this great price!! 8.1.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by boho22 No stretch - at all. The rarebird color is FAB, but the waist band is very snug and not at all stretchy. I am ALWAYS a 27, I'm 5'4", 115#, and I'm not very curvy, so I was surprised when the 27 fit me like a 25. I exchanged them for a 28 and they fit better, but still not quite right. I like a little stretch in my skinny jeans, and these did not have it. Sadly, the 28s are going back too. 10.21.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cme05 Really cute. Absolutely adorable, love these jeans. They fit so well and I love the color. 7.12.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by linn Promised, not quite delivered These jeans definitely fit pretty snug, Im 5'10" 129 pounds and i wear a very true size 6, these jeans are super tight around my knees, and come up on the waist higher than in the photo. More like a mid rise skinny LEVI style. Kinda disappointed, but i guess just more motivation to keep biking. 7.7.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by bikingotter Not really a curvy girl pant I have the skinny jeans with the vegan leather trim and I LOVE them. I got those in my regular size. I'm 5'3", 125 lbs and got the 29 based on another reviewer with similar measurements. When I tried them on, I had to jump up and down to get in to them, once in, I don't think breathing was an option. Maybe their sizing was off, but back they go. 10.10.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by st25 Nice color and fit I was pleasantly surprised with these pants. I bought them on a whim and had planned on returning them until they arrived. They fit well - tightly but not uncomfortably so. I really liked the color, since it is a little different. I have decided to keep them and am ultimately happy with the purchase. 7.16.2013

Product description
When the Siren Calls, set in Tuscany, is an adult contemporary romance and business thriller. It is the story of two people, Isobel and Jay, and their passionate and cathartic affair. She is a restless and neglected woman - a modern day Lady Chatterley - struggling to live a life true to herself, not the one her workaholic husband and fickle friends expect. The enigmatic Jay is a gifted but flawed maverick, a powerful and controlling lothario locked in his own fight for survival. When Jay invites Isobel to his idyllic Tuscan retreat she imagines a life of excitement outside her stagnant marriage. But all is not as it seems and Isobel finds herself trapped in a web of deception and betrayal. Hopelessly bound under Jay's spell, Isobel must discover if her lover is her saviour, or her nemesis.

By Brendan 22 Sep 2012
Isobel Roberts is bored and frustrated with her workaholic husband, and so when a charming stranger called Jay tells her of his plans for a luxurious new tourist development in Tuscany, she can't resist fantasising about how her life might yet change radically. When the Siren Calls tells what happens next - a tumultuous, dramatic story of sexual awakening set beneath the Italian sun. The subject matter of the book seems to be how wealth and security can lead to boredom, and how alluring the exotic becomes in these circumstances. To Isobel, Jay represents the exotic in two ways - the hot, romantic Tuscan life, and sexual experimentation. For me, the story was about Isobel and the love triangle that she finds herself in.
This is a pacy, racy, romance novel intertwined with a business thriller that simultaneously feels like a critique of a particular social scene. Generally, the pace of the novel is consistent and levels of tension and suspense are just right. Isobel's deliberations about her marriage and Jay's allure are convincingly handled, and the will-she-won't-she dilemma is compelling in itself.
The backdrop for their story is a world that is populated by almost universally rich men and beautiful women. The men are mostly predatory adulterers, and the women are all adept at using their sexuality in order to manipulate the men.
Although there is a lot of sex in When the Siren Calls there is more to the book than the sex, and the sex scenes could be made more explicit if that was the point of the novel.

The Alamo Rotary event, set up to raise money for school music programs and local charities, will highlight swingin' 1950s music and dancing under the stars. Before that, high school bands will perform.
Wine tasting, dinner from local restaurants and activities for kids, including a rock climbing wall, will be offered at the family affair. It will be held 2-11 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, at Alamo Plaza.
"Alamo has a small town feel, everybody knows everybody. This reinforces that idea," said rotary member Diane Barley, who has helped set up and organize the event for years.
Food selections from Forli's, Faz and El Balazo restaurants will be offered for dinner, and the wine samples will come from California vineyards. Anyone who wants to meet and mingle in the name of bettering the Alamo community is welcome.
The night is also known as a time to recognize an Alamo citizen of the year, someone who goes above and beyond to make the area a better place.
Last year, the event raised over $10,000 for Alamo Elementary, Rancho Romero Elementary, Stone Valley Middle School, Monte Vista High School, San Ramon Valley High School and Lucille Mauzy School.
Dinner will be from 5:30-8 p.m. and then the Cruise Tones will take stage to play late '50s tunes, followed by the Sun Kings, a Beatles tribute band. Tickets for dinner are $17, available at the event.

Research Interests
Humans are inordinately cooperative beings, and our ultra-cooperative, moral nature is thought to account for our success as a species. My research focuses on the ontogenetic emergence of the moral emotions, cognitions, and behaviors that make children successful cooperators. This includes the emergence of social emotions such as sympathy and guilt, of moral evaluations, and of moral behaviors such as prosocial behavior and the enforcement of moral norms. Of particular interest are children's understanding of and responses to third-party moral situations as these are the litmus test for agent-neutral morality, which may well be unique to humans.
My other research interests include infant social referencing, children's understanding of others' desires as an early form of theory of mind, and the development of the negativity bias.

For students at Tacoma's Wilson High School, climate change is a reality.
It takes place every day on the West End campus.
Inside classrooms on one side of a hallway, explained sophomore Isaac Larson, the school's antiquated heating system leaves students freezing in the winter. But just across the hall, they sweat.
"You're either wearing a thermal shirt, or sitting next to the window (to cool off)," he said.
Elsewhere at Wilson, kids say musty classrooms smell bad, teachers must maneuver their laptops to connect to elusive Wi-Fi and a shower in the locker room drips constantly because repair parts are no longer manufactured.

Our recent interview with Property Valuation Administrator Kim Stump left us feeling good about the improved state of the economy in Spencer County, at least in so far as new housing is on the rise. However, it left us a little more concerned that commercial development is not only continuing to lag in this county, but seems to be going backwards. While new property assessments are just the tip of the overall iceberg of economic development, the figures do point to trends which are both good and bad.
Riley is the leader the county needs
Our county is in desperate need for leadership that will bring people together, no matter their political, social or economical position, to work for the ultimate goal of growing Spencer County in a positive direction.
John Riley without question is that leader.
Recently our community suffered a tragic loss with the fire and destruction of the Mt. Eden Fire Station. Since then we have witnessed quite a bit of public outpouring in support of the brave individuals who serve the department.
We have been moved by the actions of citizens throughout the area who have given their time and money in support of the department.
Specifically we would like to thank the people of Shelby county, who have stepped up to the plate, so to speak, and have hit a home run in helping their neighbors in Mt. Eden.
John Riley yet again fails to give an account for his past transgressions against taxpayers, but instead chooses to create and embrace a lie and distortion to remove all attention away from the real issues he is being exposed on! Riley stated in a political ad that the negative political attacks of the quote, Cheek/Trageser campaign ad were taking Spencer County in the wrong direction.
Elections are an important part of what it means to be American. Every two years we are treated to very significant and important elections, not just for our local races but for the national races as well.
During these election cycles, those people who are dissatisfied with the current state of affairs can either run for public office themselves or back candidates that they feel are more in line with their particular points of view.
by Sen. Jimmy Higdon
I would like to say that last week marked my first foray in a Spencer County Board of Education meeting and I would like to say I'm impressed.
For many months I listened as former Spencer Magnet reporter, now freelancer, Mallory Bilger sung the praises of the school board's efficiency. Now after experiencing it myself I must agree.
For those of you with little or no experience dealing with the board, you should know that their agendas are generally the easiest to follow of any county agency I have dealt with so far.

Hybrid Motor Rocket Competition
Information related to the 2015-2016 Hybrid Rocket competition will be available in August of 2015…Check back here in August!!!
Launch Day Video – May 9, 2015
2014-2015 Hybrid Motor High Powered Rocket Competition
Sponsored by the NASA Florida Space Grant Consortium (FSGC) and the North East Florida Association of Rocketry (NEFAR)
The objective of the competition is to build and launch a hybrid powered rocket. There are two categories of competition to choose from. The first category consists of launching a hybrid rocket to the maximum altitude. The second category challenges the teams to fly their rocket closest to 2000 feet in altitude. There must be at least two teams competing in each category. If there is only one team, that team will be asked to move to the other category.
- The rocket can be built from scratch or from a kit.
- The engine must be a hybrid motor rated "G" or from a lower class. The engine can be built from scratch or purchased from a company. NOTE: If the motor is built from scratch or is modified in anyway, a minimum of 2 documented motor tests must be done to demonstrate the safety, quality, and performance of the motor. Documentation must be performed and submitted two weeks before launch and must show thrust curves, impulse, burn-time, etc. from the 2 tests (please confer with the judges prior to making any modifications to the motor).
- Points will be awarded for the phases of the competition. The successful flight is worth 80% of the total points and the teams Engineering Notebook report is worth 20% of the total points. The points for each part are as follows:
- Points for Flight
- 100 pts for highest or closest to altitude
- 90 pts for 2nd highest or closest to altitude
- 80 pts or 3rd highest or closest to altitude
- 70 pts for 4th highest or closest to altitude
- 0-10 pts for self built motor
- 0-5 pts for self built rocket
- Points for Engineering Notebook
- Rocksim or other software Simulations (30 pts)
- Engineering Data (70 pts)
- Points for Flight
The engineering notebook will be a bound notebook (Composition type noteBook) which will have all of the team's engineering data, calculations, drawings and sketches, test results, notes, ideas, meeting notes, etc. This notebook will be returned to the teams on flight day. NOTE: The notebook is NOT a formal final report. We are looking for your project/laboratory workbook.
This competition is open to any university or community college team in Florida, both public and private.
Part I – Proposal
The faculty advisor of the university team must submit a 2 page proposal with a budget of up to $1,000. If a team is planning to enter both categories, please submit separate proposals (maximum 2 pages each)
The proposal must include the following:
- Team Name
- Project Manager Name and Email Address
- Name and Email Address of the Project Manager's Alternate
- All team members names and their email addresses in addition to the following:
- Status (e.g. sophomore, junior, senior etc.)
- Hometown
- Gender
- Race (needed for reporting to funding authority)
- Category or categories the team plans to compete in (maximum altitude and/or closest to 2000 feet in altitude).
- Detailed Budget.
All teams that submit a proposal will be able to take part in the competition and compete for the prizes. At least 6 teams (from both categories) will be selected and awarded up to $1,000 to build the rocket (detailed budget must be provided in the proposal). For teams that design their own engines, static testing and data from two test launches is expected. The funds will be provided as a cost reimbursable grant to the faculty advisor. The funds can be used for supplies, motors, kits and travel. Salary and capital expenditure is not allowed. Indirect costs are not allowed.
Part II – Reports & Flight
Teams will then build and test their rockets for flight and submit their engineering notebook due approximately 2 weeks before the launch. Also, the program manager or their alternate representative from each team will be required to submit every 2 weeks a "progress and accomplishment report" of no more then 3/4 page text to the PBWorks website @ http://hybridrocket.pbworks.com/. Reports should include work done plus attachments including parts lists, photos, etc. NOTE: There are no points awarded for submitting the Progress Reports however, points will be deducted for non-submittal and late reports.
Also, each team will be required to submit to the PBWorks website @ http://hybridrocket.pbworks.com/ a Hazard Analysis and a Failure Modes & Effects Analysis by the time listed in the Timeline below. The Hazard Analysis should focus on the handling and use of the nitrous oxide and any pyrotechnic systems or materials. The Failure Modes & Effects Analysis should focus on what kinds of things could go wrong with your launch equipment and rocket, as well as, what you have done to mitigate or reduce the identified failure modes. These reports should be no more than 4 text pages in length, tables and graphs are not included in page count. They should be updated and resubmitted as your designs evolve. The reports are to show that you are ready to test and fly your rockets and motors safely. Failure to submit these reports may result in your being removed from the competition.
Teams will have their rockets and motors inspected for safety by a NEFAR representative just before launch. NEFAR will sponsor the launch at the club site in Bunnell. Results of launch must be into the judge by 3:00 pm on the day of the launch; judge will leave site at 3:15 pm. NOTE: We are not responsible for problems at the NEFAR launch site. Be there early. Don't wait until it is too late to launch. To be awarded points for flight you must have a successful flight; i.e. Launch, deployment of recovery system, and controlled landing. All other flights will be judged on a case by case base. NOTE: rockets deemed unsafe will not be allowed to fly in the competition until fixed and approved.
NEFAR Website – http://www.nefar.net/
Part III – Additional funding
The winning teams from each category will receive additional funding according to the following chart. These additional funds will be provided to the winning team(s) faculty advisor to defray their expenses incurred for travel to the competition location.

Altitude Determination
A recording barometric altimeter must be used to record data for competition. The launch site should be considered zero altitude and the altimeter should be calibrated to zero, it is up to flier to provide proof of a properly calibrated altimeter to the Judge upon request.
Altimeters with altitude sensors other than barometric sensors, such as accelerometers or magnetic apogee detection, may be used to deploy the recovery systems. However, they are prohibited from use in determining the actual altitude.
Determining Actual Altitude
The actual flight profile will be determined by the competition judges. The graph or other flight profile display provided by a recording device will be examined for accuracy. If it is shown that a sudden peak in altitude is attributable to the ejection charge, that peak will be not be used to determine the recorded altitude. The altitude just prior to or just after that sudden peak will be the official recorded altitude.
Launch Rails & Firing Electronics Requirements
Teams should provide their own launch rails/pads and firing electronics and if requested must be inspected for safety by a NEFAR representative. NOTE THIS REQUIREMENT: firing electronics must be at least 500 feet away from launch rails/pads. Firing electronics should incorporate at least one safety switch to prevent accidental ignition of rocket during setup. Please insure that you have enough current available to ignite the motor with 500 foot of cable. If you wish to use NEFAR launch equipment please contact Robert Eppig for our NEFAR representative contact information – to check if what you need is available. Please check early if you wish to use NEFAR equipment-THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT WHAT YOU NEED IS AVAILABLE.
Static Judging
For the teams that build their rocket and/or engine from scratch, their scores from the judges will reflect the originality and performance of the rocket and/or the engine
Motor Class Total Impulse
G or less: 160 Newton-seconds or less
Submit Proposal and Engineering Notebook to:
Gene Tavares, firstname.lastname@example.com

The Heiress
Editorial Staff • West End • 19 Jun 2000
Ruth and Augustus Goetz's 1947 play, The Heiress, is famous chiefly for it's film incarnation, which starred a wide-eyed Monty Clift as gold-digging suitor Morris Townsend and Olivia de Havilland in the role of the wealthy, but plain, Catherine Sloper. If you're familiar with the celluloid version, you may well be disappointed by this Lyceum Sheffield production, which feels longer and stodgier in comparison.
That's not to say that this particular staging is unenjoyable, though. The Goetzes' script still surprises and director Philip Franks' competent ensemble occasionally make the most of its humorous and poignant moments.
Based on the Henry James novel Washington Square, The Heiress follows the attempts of the penniless Townsend (Ben Porter) to woo Catherine (Eve Best), despite the best efforts of her father, the patrician Dr Austin Sloper (Alan Howard), to prevent them marrying.
With a little help from Catherine's well-meaning aunt Lavinia (Maggie Steed), the pair decide to elope. But when Townsend realises his intended has fallen out with daddy and her inheritance has been scaled down, he jilts her. Catherine remains a heartbroken spinster for the next three years, until Townsend suddenly reappears and forces her to finally choose between spending life alone, or with someone who loves her only for her money.
If I have a problem with the two leads, it's that Porter interprets Townsend as a slightly slimy rake, so you find it hard to believe that Catherine could fall for him without at least questioning his motives. While Best's heroine is sometimes so gauche and pathetic, you almost side with Townsend for dumping her.
Fortunately, no such problems afflict Howard's Sloper. He switches effortlessly between being amusing (especially when engaged in a head-to-head with Lavinia) to being cold and heartless, as he crushes Catherine with well-intended advice.
Gideon Davey's design features a cavernous Regency-style drawing room, made to appear stifling by the use of forced perspective. And Simon Mills' lighting, with its use of candles, adds a number of atmospheric touches.
The Heiress chugs along steadily over its three-hour length towards a genuinely touching conclusion. But in the end, the feeling is that we've been taken on a pleasant journey at the Lyttelton, rather than a truly memorable one.
