Paul Ince has been sacked as manager of Blackburn Rovers. It's not much of a surprise, especially after their convincing loss away to Wigan on Saturday, but they need to move quickly to replace Ince. Blackburn face Stoke on Saturday … Continue reading

The House Appropriations Committee, which dictates how the government spends money, has released a draft of the commerce, justice and science appropriations bill cutting NASA's FY 2012 budget by $1.6 billion.
The proposed budget includes overall cuts from FY 2011 in NASA science ($431m cut), exploration ($152m cut) and operations ($1.4b cut).
The committee specifies how the money will be spent. Of the $3.6b exploration budget, $1.9b is to be spent on the heavy lift launch vehicle, "which shall have a lift capability not less than 130 tons and which shall have an upper stage and other core elements developed simultaneously." An additional $1.1b is slated to the multipurpose crew vehicle (MPCV) developed from the cancelled Orion capsule.
The draft cuts the James Webb Space Telescope, the troubled successor to the Hubble Space Telescope due to launch in 2018. The telescope is years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget, but the cut generated an immediate backlash from supporters.
The draft appropriations bill contains language forbidding NASA from spending money to cooperate with China, identical to that of the law that funds NASA in FY 2011.
The draft bill will be sent to the subcommittee on 7 July, then to the appropriations committee, and thence to the full House of Representatives for approval; lawmakers can modify the bill during each stage.

Millions of girls born around the world face life-threatening disadvantages including malnutrition, lack of education, violence, and sexual abuse because they were born girls. Plan, a group that works to achieve lasting improvements in the quality of life of deprived children in developing countries has launched the "Because I'm A Girl" campaign to fight gender inequality, promote girls' rights and lift millions of girls out of poverty.
"Across the world, girls face the double discrimination of their gender and age, leaving them suffering at the bottom of the social ladder. Girls are denied access to health services and education, and also face extremely high levels of violence, abuse, and harassment."
Here are some eye-opening statistics:
Please watch the Because I'm A Girl video and sign the petition asking President Obama to support three simple actions that will change the lives of girls around the world:
Read more: because, because im a girl, girl, im, petition, plan, take action, womens rights
I pledge as a grade 11 school teacher to educate my students on the reality facing millions of girls around the world. I consider myself and daughter so blessed for having been born in a country that grants us equality.
My heart and soul weep for the girls and women who suffer due to gender. I am filled with such sadness when I think of all they are forced to endure.
i know first hand what millions of girls are going through around the world. i came from sudan when i was 11 years. i have face everything that millions of grown up wouldn't never face in their life. i went through life-threatening disadvantages including malnutrition, lack of education, violence, and sexual abuse because i was born a girl. My life is better here in Canada, but i still worry about those girl back in sudan that are still going through violence, sexual abuse and lack of education. if only i can help to make a different in their life:)
as a woman, we all know what it feels like the fact of been the ¨weak¨ one everywhere you go, feels the angry inside you everytime you are walking on the street when a man (the son of his fucking life) star screaming at you and tells you hey mama and stuff like that, this world of man doesnt know anything at all, doesnt feel anything at all , doesnt live with anything of all the stuff that a woman have to deal with, just for the fact that is a woman
Beba H., What you are describing is an ideal world. To reach
this world, it all has to start with EDUCATION for all, and every where on this planet.
im so sad to hear this news. in this time women still got sexual violence and abuse. i hope the other can protect them for that problem. im totally agree if the president should take action faster.
Saying that women who stay in abusive relationships are rewarding their abuser is heaping more insults upon the victim. Why not instead create more safe houses? Statistics tell us that a woman is far more likely to be murdered if she leaves her abuser (even and especially if she files a restraining order) and really is only safe if she can successfully hide from him. Which is hard.
It's a sad fact that women are treated less to nothing when there's a male around. It hurts to know and be apart of, but it's the way our sick world turns. There's always going to be sick, demented, power-hungry people who wish less for the less fortunate. The only thing is, is that those looking down on us now, will be frowning later! We're too strong! We know what right, everyone does, and I truely believe that. It's just a matter of finding it, sticking with it. Let's show America and other worlds that we care and love the women that birth us!!! Women do the things men REFUSE to do. Not to mention we have, YEAH, childbirthing, periods/cramps, AND later on in life Hotflashes. When men can do all that, I think all of earth would crumble! Let's save these future CEO's and respect unborn women. They deserve a chance like any other person, OR MAN.
I agree with the other comments and as a woman have suffered gender and age discrimination even here in Canada--I have never had children and feel as an intelligent woman it is wrong to further populate an already overpopulated earth!! I prefer to excel in work and break new ground and perhaps be able to open doors for other women empowering both myself and women in general--Women who are impoverished and have children are adding to the problems of this planet and adding to their own woes and should take responsibility and be accountable!! Also women who give away their power and stay in abusive relationships also teach men that is pays to be predatory and bullying and encouraging the uneven status quo!! That is why the world has been raped and pillaged which I think is symbolic of women who have given away their power!! To return to a world that is nurtured, it is women's responsibility as well as men's. Better to be alone than in an unequal relationship--too many women sell out!!Become a vegetarian, protect those who are weaker and have no voice, protect the earth,make conscious and intelligent choices, be a ground breaker for moving toward a future that is protecting and nurturing of the planet in a big picture way !! Women need to let go of old stereotypes of life revolving around children and family and create a new way of living,participating in decisions and contributing intelligently to solving world problems !! Let go of the past and become visionaries ladies !!!
One thing that really bothers me is all the slave trafficking of young people, especially young girls. It's already illegal, but obviously not enough is being done to stop it.

American history courses at the University of Texas and Texas A&M University focus too much on race, class and gender and not enough on military, diplomatic, religious and intellectual matters, according to a new report.
The report by the National Association of Scholars and its affiliate, the Texas Association of Scholars, examined the textbooks and other readings for 85 sections of lower-division American history courses at the two schools in fall 2010. All too often, the report concluded, the readings gave students "a less-than-comprehensive picture of U.S. history," with the situation "far more problematic" at UT than at A&M.
At UT, 78 percent of the faculty members who taught the freshman and sophomore classes were deemed "high assigners" of race, class and gender readings, meaning that more than half of the content had such a focus. At A&M, 50 percent of faculty members were deemed high assigners of such material.
The National Association of Scholars is a New York-based nonprofit. Its website lists dozens of concerns regarding higher education, such as "exclusion of conservative and traditional viewpoints," "administrative bloat" and "partying and the hook-up culture."

need a computer that works
do macs work ?
i've owned a computer for a while now and it now how i make a living .
i am a cheap skate which sometimes costs more , ive got though many used laptops so might as well of bought a decent one to begin with .
im interested in a mac air but they are extremely expensive .
what i need is a computer that fires up and is ready within say 5 mins , my pc and laptop
take 10 mins , sometimes longer to get be ready to use .
i need to be able to get to library for photos within at least a minute to access photos etc
my pc and laptop can sometimes freeze for 5 mins just trying to access a photo ,
the hard drive going mental .
its took me since 9 o'clock this mourning just to get operational on this computer .
i clean it regular and have very minimal software or personal files installed .
if macs work ill have one or am i expecting too much out of computers ?
How old is your computer? My oldest PC boots in about a minute and a half. Yes macs "work". For that matter most pc's "work".
"It took me since 9 o'clock this mourning" - posted at 4:34 am?
Do I smell troll? If this is a legitimate question we'll be happy to help.
Who knows? If he's actually in the UK, would be 10:34 there.
But, If you've never owned a computer that takes less than 10 minutes to start up and you paid more than $10 for any of them, you've been ripped off.
Over 30+ years, have never owned a properly functioning computer that took longer than 1.5 minutes to start up and most of them in 20-45 seconds and with an ssd, 15 seconds.
Sorry, I didn't look at his/her profile and wasn't aware of his/her location.
Must have a very old, slow computer over there.
Edit: just looked. You must have access to more information than us peons :)
No way for you to know - I have extra senses... Does smell doesn't it?
Would suggest they take a trip to town and visit their nearest Apple store and ask for a tour of a Mac and then go visit a store the carries Windows computers and ask for a tour of a windows machine and see which one you'd rather buy since "any" new computer will do what you have requested.
sorry i did search for a uk based forum and this came up as .co.uk.
it only takes a few mins for my pc/laptops to start but to get working fully up to speed without freezing can take as long as i suggested .
and sometimes accessing librarys can freeze the machine solid for 5 mis or more .
yes my machines are getting on a bit , but statistically they are better specs than a modern macbook air.
my question really is am i going to get a noticeable improvement in performance in a mac ,
it seems to me the specs are quite weak but if they work well it does not matter , if not i may as well
buy a relatively inexpensive windows laptop for a fraction of the cost not intersted in specs now to be honest
as said most coumpters are fast enough now but i want reliability , functionality
they do look nice but for £1000 i want a bit more than looks .
Yes they do work very well. But, I agree with the other posters you shouldn't be having the problems you are are your current PC.
Post more info and we'll try to help.
In particular how much RAM do you have installed, how much HD free space, and where and how large are these libraries?
You really can not go by specs alone when comparing a Windows to Mac computer , Mac's have always performed better than my PC's with less but thats my experience.
As for cost this has been shown if everything is close to being equal build and spec they are closer in price than people realize priced any Ultrabooks lately they seem mighty close to Apple's price.
I cant complain about my MBP. Bought it almost 3 years ago, still only takes about 30 seconds to boot up from cold to firing off the first app. I have never (knock on wood) had to reimage or reinstall the OS at any point and i have had no issues or errors. But then, I also take time to do some maintenance on the machine and some spring cleaning once a month or so. Pay attention to what you are doing on any machine and it will run for a long time.
I have found, in nearly 18 years in the IT world, that people who continually have problems on any given OS will have similar problems on all OS's due to bad habits.
on my laptop now atom 1.6ghz 1gb 250gb with 177gb remaining
older packard bell comp
has slightly better cpu but less hdd capacity
but still 25% or less max capacity .
regular maintence .
now again i bought both used and have had both
3 years myself(did not realise id owned this long , time flys)
but ive always had these problems and had to wipe hdd
etc and reinstall OS etc along the way with all my pcs and laptops
ive always thought with was normal.
i was putting blame down to windows but maybe its just old equipment
maybe im just trying to do too much to soon ..
anyway ill do so studing and veiw some macbooks locally ,
but i do see a major price difference even between
equal specs but like i say i would not mind paying a premium
for a machine that reliable .
I hope this not come off as mean but a 1.6Ghz ATOM is a Netbook CPU and slower than molasses on a cold day. No it's not even close in specs to any Air leave alone a modern one. A Core i5 is many times faster than an Atom which is a very underpowered CPU.
That said my Quad Core PC with Windows 7 boots to a fully useable desktop in 30 seconds or less. In fact the desktop shows in 12-14 seconds. Even a Netbook should not take that long to boot. I own a first gen Acer Aspire One Netbook that takes less than 45 seconds.
What version of Windows is on that PC? It sounds like Windows is all messed up with much Maleware.
Benchmarks don't tell the whole story, but they are a good starting point and will give you a clue as to how long it will take to accomplish any processor intensive activities.
Passmark CPU scores which you can find here.
Atom 230 @ 1.6 Ghz - 311
Atom 330 @ 1.6 Ghz - 600
Core i5 @ 1.3 Ghz - 3,572 - this is the lowest end Macbook Air
Core i7 @ 1.7 Ghz - 4,442 - also MBA
Core i7 @ 2.8 Ghz - 9,023 - this is top of the line in the MBP
(the 3.0 Ghz in the MBP is much slower than the 2.8 listed above and is only marginally faster than the 1.7 in the MBA)
Combine either of those MBA Core iSeries with flash storage vs Atom and a hard drive and there just is no comparison between them. The current gen MBAs are going to boot to the desktop ready to go in 15-20 seconds max.
Whether you buy a Mac or get another windows machine, if you're really "making your living" on a computer - time is money - get a processor that can handle the job.
And equal specs, while there could be, I don't think so... at least not at drastically different price points.
Have to realize Intel puts out multiple CPUs with the same clock speed that do not an anyway perform the same and there can be a drastic difference in pricing.
Ex. the Core i7 @ 3.0 Ghz that can also be had in a MBP - score is only 4,780 vs the 4,440 of the 1.7Ghz i7 - while the top of the line is only a 2.8 Ghz that can get it's work load done in approx half the time it takes the above listed 3.0 Ghz chip.
Have to know specifically what model CPU a company uses in the machines to be able to make any comparison at all related to specs.
i think i was just looking for a yes or no to give me the final push to spend,
but as usual there is no easy answer to these types of questions .
i dont know why i tried to get technical because im not 100% clued up on all that side of thing , i do know is my
Pc and laptop are fast enough for my needs but as mentioned freeze up at vital times .
I do need a new computer and although an expensive initial purchase , hopefully ill get 3 or years out of it , it could work out at less that £1 a day .
plus used macbooks seem to hold there price so you could end up if lucky getting a good amount back .
anyway thanks for your help .
I am a long time PC user who recently purchased a macbook pro (late 2011, i7, 16GB ram, 1TB HD) with Mt Lion. I also have a Asus (i7, 8 GB of ram, 750 GB HD) with Windows 8. I can say from comparing the two the mac will smoke the asus. Why? Operating system. OS X is just so much more simplistically clean.
I work in media and use adobe software daily. The mac runs premiere pro CS6 and photoshop CS6 smoother than my Asus with Windows 8. Saving, scrolling, encoding, editing of video or photos are all smoothly done. With Windows there is always those slight hesitations and moments of waiting for whatever it is doing.
It just depends on what you are doing and believe me, an upgrade from the atom processor to anything else - an i3, i5, i7, will make a HUGE difference in performance.
As to start up times...I usually "sleep" my mac and rarely restart so start up is instant. I have never had a Windows OS that would "sleep" well. They all seemed to eventually over time start hanging up and have to be restarted.
Granted the mac will cost more but "you get what you pay for" is very true.
A Mac is a nice machine - no doubt.
We're not trying to steer you away nor specifically towards a Mac.
Most of us are around here because we like our Macs.
But, we don't have too many "fan boys" here that are just going to tell you it's the greatest thing since sliced bread no matter what.
Would still suggest you head out and visit both an Apple store - get some one on one time with an associate and get them to show you around a Mac - ask questions - talk to them about the sorts of things you need to do and how is that done. Then go visit a Windows shop. You should come away from that experience with a lot better idea of which you would like to invest your hard earned money in.
Just from your first post, the lowest end Mac you can buy will "for sure" work circles around what you're using now.
But then, the lowest end "brand new" Windows box likely will also - although, possible not for as long without more maintenance than is required on a Mac. As this as you say is a "work" machine - don't buy some el cheapo $300-$500 netbook.
Stick around the forum for awhile and you'll see a lot of posts similar to the above from Iclev.

How would you compress your MySQL Backup

Innodb transaction history often hides dangerous 'debt'
In many write-intensive workloads Innodb/XtraDB storage engines you may see hidden and dangerous "debt" being accumulated – unpurged transaction "history" which if not kept in check over time will cause serve performance regression or will take all free space and cause an outage. Let's talk about where it comes from and what can you do […]
Why is the ibdata1 file continuously growing in MySQL?
We receive this question about the ibdata1 file in MySQL very often in Percona Support. The panic starts when the monitoring server sends an alert about the storage of the MySQL server – saying that the disk is about to get filled. After some research you realize that most of the disk space is used […]
Improved InnoDB fast index creation
One of the serious limitations in the fast index creation feature introduced in the InnoDB plugin is that it only works when indexes are explicitly created using ALTER TABLE or CREATE INDEX. Peter has already blogged about it before, here I'll just briefly reiterate other cases that might benefit from that feature: when ALTER TABLE […]

Thinking about running OPTIMIZE on your Innodb Table ? Stop!
Innodb/XtraDB tables do benefit from being reorganized often.

Despite the economic downturn, sales at both Merial and Intervet grew 4 to 5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Sanofi and Merck are working together to tackle the animal healthcare market in a joint venture that will likely become the sector's biggest player, with combined sales of more that $5 billion. The marriage will help shore up revenue for both companies as they seek to diversify their revenue sources. Not only is the animal health market growing, but it is particularly strong in North America and Western Europe, markets where revenue from human medicines is facing a multitude of pressures.
Sanofi triggered the deal, announced March 9, by exercising its option to combine its animal health unit, Merial, with Merck's, Intervet/Schering-Plough. Merial makes Frontline, the world's bestselling flea and tick deterrent for cats and dogs, as well vaccines for livestock among other products. Intervet has been focused on the livestock market but serves companion animals too with products such as Safe-Guard for deworming dogs. The combined divisons will eclipse those of current market leader, Pfizer.
Sanofi CEO Chris Viehbacher says the company is looking for businesses that can offer sustainable growth while avoiding the volatility of the human medicines market.
The animal health market is hot. It registered $19.2 billion in global sales during 2008, according to Vetnosis, an animal health and veterinary medicine consulting group. Despite the economic downturn, sales at both Merial and Intervet grew 4 to 5 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
A growing global population with an increased appetite for meat, dairy products and lovable pets will keep the market growing by about 5 percent per year through 2014, predicts Vetnosis.
Sanofi will pay Merck $750 million under an agreement the new partners signed when Merck shed Merial to help overcome regulatory concerns about its acquisition of Schering. Because of a difference in the values of Merial and Intervet, Sanofi will also pay Merck a $250 million true-up payment.
No combination of this size goes without regulatory scrutiny. Merck and Sanofi expect they will have tied up all the details, including antitrust review in early- to mid-2011. Between now and then, the companies will need to decide where to site the joint venture's headquarters and how many jobs will be cut in the oft-messy pursuit of synergy.

Popular Camborne postie delivers final letter
Posted: June 03, 2014|
One of the faces of Camborne has retired after posting his final letter.
Les Bunt, who had worked as a postman in the town for 42 and a half years, called it a day after his final shift last Friday.
After the shift Mr Bunt was joined by his friends, family and colleagues both past and present to celebrate his retirement.
"We had a very good evening and I was joined by all of the postmen in Camborne as well as lots of a lot of faces that I've worked with in the past.
"I'm going to miss the sense of humour around the workplace, something that is very important at 5am in the morning."
64-year-old Mr Bunt has observed an industry that has changed beyond recognition and he told of the days when Camborne postmen used to work closely with their Redruth counterparts.
"Within hours of handing in my resignation a number of calls were made and I had my leaving party arranged for me.
"I've been fighting illness for a while now so it's the right time to give up work and start working on the house and garden."
Mr Bunt started work as a postman after originally applying for a part-time role back in the early 1970s.
He had just finished studying computer programming at college and was originally told that he was overqualified for the position.
"When I first applied they weren't sure about me because they thought I was overqualified and wouldn't stay in the job for very long.
"42 and a half years later I think that I showed them that I would."
Two of Mr Bunt's brothers have also served long stints as postman in the town, Tony who worked for 20 years before retiring and George whose stretch lasted just short of that.

Challenging a longstanding practice of casting both legs in children with hip and thigh fractures, a new Johns Hopkins Children's Center study shows that such fractures heal just as well in single-leg casts, while giving children greater comfort and mobility.
The findings of the study, which involved 52 Johns Hopkins patients ages 2 through 6, are published online June 13 in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.
Casting both legs and hips has long been thought the only way to assure proper healing and pelvic immobilization in young children who wiggle around and are in perpetual motion, the researchers noted.
Not so, the new Hopkins study shows.
"The single-leg approach not only appears to be just as effective and safe as double-leg casting in terms of healing, but also it makes the child's life much easier and requires less complicated daily care," says senior investigator Paul Sponseller, M.D. M.B.A., director of pediatric orthopedics at Johns Hopkins Children's Center.
Surgical repair is the treatment of choice for hip and thigh fractures in older children, but those younger than 6 years of age do better with casting only, the investigators say. The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recently recommended casting as the first line of treatment for children younger than 5 to avoid general anesthesia and surgical complications.
The cast works by immobilizing the hips and thighs so that bones or tendons can heal properly, but it can also be cumbersome and uncomfortable. Casting can restrict motion and cause skin problems, aches and pains, increased muscle pressure and reduced blood flow to nerves and tissue. Casting also requires more complex daily maintenance by parents and other caregivers.
In the new study, 28 of the 52 children seen at Hopkins were randomly assigned to get double leg casts, while the remainder got single leg casts. The researchers used bi-weekly X-rays to monitor bone healing and questionnaires to gauge parental ease of care and the child's comfort and physical functioning.
While children in both groups healed equally well without any major complications, those in single-leg casts reported greater comfort and mobility, fit more easily in car seats, got dressed more easily and sat more comfortably in chairs, the study showed. Also, the parents and caregivers of children in single-leg casts reported taking less time off from work to provide care. They had, on average, eight fewer days missed from work, the researchers say.
Other investigators on the study included Dirk Leu, M.D., M. Catherine Sargent, M.D., Michael Ain, M.D., Arabella Leet, M.D., and John Tis, M.D.
Founded in 1912 as the children's hospital of the Johns Hopkins Medicine, the Johns Hopkins Children's Center offers one of the most comprehensive pediatric medical programs in the country, with more than 92,000 patient visits and nearly 9,000 admissions each year. Johns Hopkins Children Center is consistently ranked among the top children's hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. It is Maryland's largest children's hospital and the only state-designated Trauma Service and Burn Unit for pediatric patients. It has recognized Centers of Excellence in dozens of pediatric subspecialties, including allergy, cardiology, cystic fibrosis, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology, neurosurgery, oncology, pulmonary, and transplant.

cute little ottoman
lightweight and as cute as can be.Read More
Husband loves it
I ordered this storage ottoman as a surprise for my husband for his study. He loves it! Nice and sturdy so he can use it as a footstool as well as for storage for his ... er, um, treasures. Well worth the cost, and it arrived in very short order. The cherry color suits his bright red desk chair.Read More
Brilliant for the money
I love this - it arrives in a slim box as the base folds flat an fits inside the lid. Which is great for transport or storage. Its easy to set up just took a few moments, pop up the sides, slide in the base which helps it hold its shape an pop on the lid. Considering its price it is very good quality an looks very smart. Having now seen the item I will definatly get a couple more. Shame they don't come in more colours.Read More
My favorite purchase this year
This has been my favorite purchase of my new home. I love how easy they are to set up, use and store stuff in. They add the right pop of color and are exactly what I had hoped for. Also very sturdy which was quite a pleasant surprise for me.Read More

Popped open the box, removed the product and it was in use within 10 minutes. Very pleased with the product and price. Highly recommend.Read More
Functional and Stylish!!
Bought this ottoman (red) for my living room couple months ago since we don't have enough sofa/chairs when the guests visit us. It looks great and very good quality. Plus, it can store a lot of stuff. So I bought another one three weeks ago for my entry way area next to our shoe cabinet. I put 10+ pairs of slippers and sneakers in... Very functional and stylish!Read More
great for the price!
There are a million storage ottomans and I bought one of these and one that cost over one hundred dollars. For my needs (tiny studio, live alone,) this inexpensive option is great! I'm returning the expensive one and buying one more of these. It says it will support up to 150lbs for sitting, but I'm sure it can hold more, just not all day every day. The top has a nice padding which I wasn't expecting. It will be great for the occasional guest and I can fit a bunch of papers in it! Instructions say to not stand on it, and I agree . . . I would not stand on this.Read More
Folding cube
I wasnt' expecting much with these, but you get what you pay for ordinarily. These actually live up to their description and more. They are sturdy and as someone who lives in a small space, I love that I can get these out when I need them and stow them away when I don't. I bought one red and one white to fit in with my decor as accent pieces, everything else is very subdued. The red is much richer and less primary than on the computer. The white is indeed very white, so be aware. I would recommend these to anyone who is living in a small space and needs to be aware of comfort versus space consumption. If you leave them out they hold a surprising amount of stuff. I have put a couple of lap rugs in them easily. They really fold up beautifully and can fit into small storage areas or under other pieces of furniture to be hidden away very nicely. I can give them 5 stars with a clear conscience.Read More

From Russia With Love
By Rob Turner
29 Jun 2007
I purchased my Zenit a month or two back as I wanted a cheap film SLR to learn how to use my other cameras more effectively. The cameras construction is absolutely indestructible, being made completely of metal, with a cast one piece body, this makes it a little heavy, but I feel this gives it an air of quality.
My Zenit was made in 1986 judging by the serial number, making it older than the author (!) But it is not starting to show its age one bit, save for the missing tripod screw and light leak (both now fixed, thanks to a friendly Flickrite). It hails from the KMZ (Krasnogorskiy Mekhanicheskiy Zavod) factory near Moscow. I found my 11 in a camera shop in leeds, for the small cost of £19.50, with a nice, sharp Helios f2/58mm lens. Which struck me as a bargain.
I quite like the limitations placed on me by the limited shutter speeds (1/30 - 1/500 seconds plus bulb mode), with them often making me more creative. This is also true of the full manual operation (well, semi-automatic, if you count the (somewhat inaccurate selenium cell meter)).
I chose to ignore the meter, as I had heard that they were inaccurately on cameras of that vintage. Instead I opted for the "sunny f16" rule. For those not in the know, this states that the correct exposure for a sunny day will use an aperture of f16, with the shutter speed being the reciprocal of the film speed (for example, ISO100 film would use 1/100). From there, I guestimate the exposure for different conditions, which seems to work well.
All the knobs and dials still miraculously work like new, as does most of the camera (with the only exception being the meter). The film rewind is slightly idiosyncratic. A small, innocuous ring around the shutter release has to be depressed with a finger nail, the shutter button is then locked down by pressing and rotating it, the film can then be wound back the same as any other 35mm camera. One of the thing I love about my Zenit is the volume of the shutter, its very loud, which makes me feel like I'm using a "real" camera.
Another great advantage of the Zenit is the low cost of second hand M42 screw-mount lenses, almost any type of lens can be obtained second-hand, very cheaply. And for the most part, are of high quality, making the Zenit a quite versatile camera too.
When I purchased this camera, I was expecting, at best mediocre photos due to the low cost, but I was pleasantly surprised. The pictures have a quite pleasant lo-fi charm to them, far removed from the sterility of digital cameras, which I absolutely love.
I bought this camera as a cheap learning tool, but it has quickly become one of my favorites, It has made me a better photographer, and makes me use my eyes more, rather than relying on a meter or display on the camera. It also takes very interesting photographs and I urge everyone to try one!

Shortbread Lofts ahead of schedule
The developer behind the Shortbread Lofts apartments and retail project on West Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill said Wednesday that construction is ahead of schedule.
Larry Short said workers are finishing the site grading and are getting ready to begin work on the foundation. The plan is to move renters in people into the apartment complex in June of next year, he said.
Construction on the project began earlier this year following an approval by the Chapel Hill Town Council in February of 2012 of a re-zoning and a special-use permit. The seven-story, mixed-use project is slated to include space for shops, 85 rental apartments, and parking.
Short said he partnered with the owners of Breadmen's restaurant at 324 W. Rosemary St. to consolidate two neighboring pieces of properties they owned into one parcel at 333 W. Rosemary St.
Shortbread Lofts is planned to be an upscale project that caters to students. He said he believes it will help meet a need for student housing downtown, and will also help with a trend of single-family homes in the neighboring Northside community converting to student rentals.
Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt also advocated for creating housing alternatives for students to the neighboring community.
"One of the challenges is that Northside, right next to Shortbread, those homes are being rented basically by the bedroom at exorbitant rates that make them completely unavailable to single-family home dwellers," Kleinschmidt said. "And it's basically taken us out of the stock for working class people. We need to create an alternative for students, particularly who are out there paying $700, $800 a bedroom."
Kleinschmidt advocated for Shortbread Lofts, alongside the 140 West development of condos and retail space and the Greenbridge mixed-use project, as infill developments.
"I think that it reflects a national trend toward living in towns and taking advantage of cites being able to live and work and play in the same space, being able to take advantage of transit, and really a rejection of suburban sprawl model," he said. "And I think that … (suburban sprawl) is much more damaging to the character…than infill development that takes advantage of existing infrastructure."
He said he hears comments about the changing of the character of the town.
"It assumes that Chapel Hill has been static and hasn't ever changed…it never stops changing," he said. "We have goals around economic diversity in downtown and a 12-month kind of active economic cycle," he also said. "And in order to be able to really accomplish that, we need folks living in downtown, and we need more people, we need a critical mass of people living in downtown."
Roy Piscitello, one of the owners of Breadmen's since 1974 along with his brother Bill Piscitello, said there's a need for more people living downtown.
"Because a lot of the downtowns are withering away and dying," he said. "I think that Chapel Hill needs the new urbanism, it needs density to where people will be downtown 24-7," he also said. "And if they're downtown, then there will be goods and services that will (follow)."

Gadsden resident arrested for alleged heroin smuggling
June 27th 2012 · 0 Comments
A Gadsden resident was arrested Monday in an alleged attempt to smuggle nearly 14 pounds of heroin into the country through the San Luis port of entry.
According to Customs and Border Protection, officers referred Eric Acosta, 36, and his two female passengers for a secondary inspection of his Jeep Wrangler.
After a CBP Border Patrol canine alerted to the presence of drugs, an X-ray of the battery revealed an unusual image. Upon searching the battery, officers removed six packages of heroin that had an estimated street value of nearly $186,000.
The drugs and Jeep Wrangler were processed for seizure. Acosta was arrested and turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations, while the passengers were released.

Mammography is a simple X-ray of the breast. Getting the breast into proper position for this exam does require a certain amount of pressing to make the breast as flat as possible. This manipulation of your breasts may have caused some degree of soreness. Another possibility, if you are not yet in menopause, is that your breast soreness is related to the time of your menstrual cycle. Either way, the soreness should abate over several days. Contact your physician if the pain does not subside or if the soreness is associated with redness, swelling, or discharge (particularly bloody discharge) from your nipples. Also, check the results of your mammogram to be sure that they are normal.
