5.0 out of 5 stars Firefly's glow is a warm one and comes highly recommended to all
There have been few science fiction series in past memory that are as warm and memorable as Firefly. A perfectly cast crew of loveable characters (that you actually care about), well-written stories, beautiful sets, music, wardrobe and special FX blend into an intoxicatingly brilliant series. It's a wildly fun-filled tale with wit, action, adventure and humor...

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Show, Bad quality of Blue ray discs.
I love the show and wish that it had not been cut short.
And I highly recommend this show to anyone.
The quality of the discs on the other hand was a very large disappointment to me.
The first disc was completely unplayable, and all three discs were very dirty, like someone had thrown them in the dirt before selling them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Firefly's glow is a warm one and comes highly recommended to all,
Jamie MacDougall "Film/TV Addict" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] (Bilingual) (Blu-ray)
There have been few science fiction series in past memory that are as warm and memorable as Firefly. A perfectly cast crew of loveable characters (that you actually care about), well-written stories, beautiful sets, music, wardrobe and special FX blend into an intoxicatingly brilliant series. It's a wildly fun-filled tale with wit, action, adventure and humor.
It's a real shame that Firefly never stood a chance due to the network's meddling and total lack of faith in the project from before it even made it to air. Thankfully the show developed a quick and loyal cult following of fans that fought valiantly to save their beloved series. In the end their passionate efforts did not resurrect the series, but instead rewarded us with Serenity, a motion picture I also highly recommend.
Regardless of if you're a fan of the science fiction genre or not, I recommend the series to everyone. This Blu-ray is a must have for old and new fans alike and should find a place in everyone's collections as it provides a solid upgrade from the previous DVD release of the show. The set also boasts an array of extras, including a partial cast reunion segment and an additional episode commentary exclusive to the Blu-ray release. You won't regret picking this one up. Highly Recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars Top-notch television, grounded before its time.,
Nathan Alderman (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
If you're not a science fiction fan, you may be looking at the endless string of rapturous reviews for "Firefly" and rolling your eyes. While "Firefly" certainly doesn't lack in geek appeal, its sharp writing, excellent cast and often-striking visual style elevate it into the ranks of Just Plain Great Television. After a somewhat bumpy start, this series found its groove with remarkable speed, and began cranking out hour after hour of compelling drama as if it had been on the air for years.
The Fox network employed a novel strategy to introduce Firefly to audiences in the fall of 2002-- sidelining its brilliant two-hour premiere in favor of a dumbed-down and hastily-written successor, airing the series out of order (with all its least compelling episodes up front), and frequently pre-empting the show in favor of the world series. Fox then proceeded to throw up its hands in feigned amazement when the series tanked in the ratings. While fans of writer/producer/creator Joss Whedon do tend toward fanaticism, in this case it's more a testament to the quality and intelligence of "Firefly" that the series has enjoyed eye-popping pre-orders on DVD and new life as a feature film.
Standout episodes include "Serenity," the series' haunting, dryly funny pilot; "Our Mrs. Reynolds," a sly mix of screwball comedy and crime caper; and "Objects In Space," a nail-biting, beautifully shot game of cat and mouse between the series' most mysterious heroine and one of the more memorably whacked-out villains in recent TV memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible TV Fare,
Laurence R. Hunt "Laurence Hunt" (Kenora, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am not a television watcher, and so it took me over 3 years after cancellation to discover this incredible television science fiction series. Yes, the episodes are 43 minutes, and thus you know that resolution is drawing near as the time winds down with each episode. But this is science fiction for television as I had never imagined it. Firefly is classic science fiction story-telling first, and television second. What sticks with me? When River steps barefoot onto the metal deck connecting two ships in space, I received a sensory impression of life in space as it might someday be lived. Warm give-and-take discussion over the plain wooden table in the ship's galley is only one more of perhaps hundreds of subtle touches that evoke the possibility of life in this imagined future world (set arbitrarily 500 years away). Clearly the fiction outweighs the science (quantum gravity has clearly been solved in the "Out of Gas" episode). And there is plenty of action for those who nod off at cognitive content. But this is a creditable contribution to dramatized science fiction. The movie sequel Serenity has just been identified in a BBC poll as the best science fiction movie overall, and - at least for our era - that is certainly the case. Move over Star Wars. This is better than even the original Star Wars episodes. I am not a connoisseur of televised science fiction, but it is hard to imagine how this program could be topped.

5.0 out of 5 stars In a nutshell, this series is pure, unadulterated fun...,
B. Alcat (Hanoi, Vietnam) - See all my reviews
"Firefly"... What does that word bring to mind? For some, nothing, or maybe at most some kind of bug with a beautiful name... For a few, like me and maybe you, "Firefly" is a great though somewhat weird show that was untimely cancelled by Fox. We were robbed of the opportunity of watching that show, but at least we enjoyed it while it was on air, so I think that we were the lucky ones...
Fortunately, this dvd allows everybody to be a winner, in the sense that if you lost the opportunity of watching the series, you can do it now, and if you already watched and loved the series, you can watch it again as many times as you want.
Should I tell you something about the series, in case you are completely clueless regarding "Firefly"? Well, "Firefly" is a sci-fi Western produced by Joss Whedon, the person behind "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel". The series is set in the future, and it tells the story of a group of rebels that oppose the Alliance, a dictatorial government. These rebels live in a ship, the "Serenity", and their leader is Malcolm Reynolds (Nathan Fillion), a former officer in a war against the Alliance that his side lost. We also have Zoe (Mal's second officer, played by Gina Torres) and her husband 'Wash' Washburne (a pilot, played by Alan Tudyk). We cannot forget the utterly unlikable Jayne (Adam Baldwin), Kaylee(a mechanic and an eternal optimist, played by Jewel Staite), Shepherd Book (Ron Glass), Inara (Morena Baccarin), Simon Tam (a doctor, played by Sean Maher) and his sister River (Summer Glau), a psychic on whom the Alliance experimented before she managed to escape.
In a nutshell, this series is pure, unadulterated fun that was cut short for thousands due to the fact that it was cancelled when merely 11 of the 14 episodes this dvd contains had been aired. I suppose that the fact that Fox is behind the release of dvd could be seen as some kind of atonement for the cancellation of the show, I don't know. In any case, I am pretty sure that more people will become fans of "Firefly" after watching this dvd, and that won't hurt the chances that the show has of returning to the small screen.
Finally, I would like to highlight the fact that the bonus features that "Firefly" offers are great, but what really completes this dvd is another one, "Serenity". "Serenity", now available in dvd format, is an excellent film directed by Joss Whedon and based on the "Firefly" series, that provides it with an interesting ending. If you can, purchase both "Firefly" and "Serenity" at the same time. You won't regret it, and you will save some time :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Series in Years,
Patrick Taylor (Canada) - See all my reviews
This has to be the best sci-fi series I've seen in ages. It's probably at the top of my list, (maybe even above Starhunter 2300). I first heard about this show on the Starhunter forums. Never got to see it while it was actually being shown on televsion. A space western? I was skeptical. I was never a fan of Wild Wild West of anything like that, so I didn't really know what to expect. Never a Buffy fan either.
Finally got the DVD set last year. I put on the first episode and couldn't stop watching. This series has everything! It's a well thought out sci-fi adventure, with very realistic FX. It's thankfully free of the usual phony science jargon and cheezy looking bumpy-headed alien-suits. What it does have is an intricate ongoing plot through the series (and continuing in the movie, 'Serenity'), plus great episode plots that are entertaining as hell. Blending sci-fi with an old-west kind of frontier setting along with Chinese and Russian influences throughout this future society, the whole thing is facsinating and could be expanded upon for dozens of episodes (if some dummy at a certain 'un-named tv network' hadn't cancelled the series).
The characters are just great. A group of anti-heroes, just barely coping with the harsh future that they live in, and barely tolerating eachother. You can almost feel what it would be like to be cooped up in a spaceship for months on end. They survive mostly as criminals, taking any job that comes to them. They get into scrapes with all kinds of folk, government agents, local authorities, crimelords, bounty hunters, you name it. The plots range from nail-biting suspenseful, to emotionally gripping, to dark and depressing to absolutely hilarious. I can't believe how much was accomplished in such a short run of a series.
If you haven't seen Serenity yet, watch this series first! It keeps things in order and lets you get to know the characters. Even if you have seen Serenity, you owe it to yourself to see this series as well, if you haven't already. One viewing of Firefly and I was an instant 'Browncoat'. Chances are, you will be as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's never been another show like Firefly,
The cancellation of this series has to go down as one of the biggest boardroom blunders in the history of tv broadcasting. What were the execs at Fox thinking when they pulled the plug on this brilliant piece of television?!?
This series had everything. Science-fiction/western/action/mystery/social commentary/romance/comedy. Firefly was so hard to just pin down to one genre, that it is almost impossible to describe to somebody who hasn't watched it. I had only seen bits of episodes when the show was originally aired and had to wait for this DVD release to see the whole thing.
I was skeptical when I first started watching it, noting similarities to Starhunter and other shows, but by the time I was a few episodes in, I was totally hooked. OK, I'll say it, I'm a 'browncoat' now.
Enough of the other reviews should give you a decent synopsis of Firefly, but what I think, is that Joss Whedon and company have accomplished, is a complete re-invention of the space-opera genre. There's none of the ridiculous pseudo-science-techno-babble that series in the Star Trek vein (and others) seem to suffer from. The universe of Firefly is far-flung, but beleivable. The technology looks far-future, but well-used. I liked the blending of space-colonization and frontier-towns. It works really well. And I like the fact that there are no tacky bumpy-headed-alien costumes to be seen, anywhere in Firefly. It's a future where humanity has colonized and terraformed dozens of worlds in the galaxy, but still human nature has remained unchanged. All the greed, corruption and the basic need for survival are active driving forces in the show. Firefly is like a bittersweet satire of our world as it is now. It also doesn't have the problem of taking itself too seriously all the time (though there is a lot of drama). There are situations and dialogue from the characters that had me rolling on the floor with laughter. I was even surprised at what I found myself laughing at sometimes.
The cast are brilliant! Each and every one of them. The characters are wonderfully flawed, and also endearing. They are each very gradually fleshed out as the series unfolds. You only find out bits of information at a time. There is a mystery to each member of Serenity's crew (and, no doubt, mysteries about Serenity herself).
While viewing the entire series, I did not see a single episode that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. I don't just mean that none of the episodes sucked (that's a rare enough accomplishment in itself), but that almost every episode made me feel like I was watching something exceptional.
I'm going to purchase the Serenity DVD next (haven't seen it yet). And now I'm hoping that somehow, they will be able to make more in this series. Firefly has become one of my all-time favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars It has it all,
Child (Canada) - See all my reviews
Firefly, a sci-fi western as weird as that sounds, works really well. I didn't expect much about a show literally involving cowboys in space, but the idea behind the series was original and unique. Plus Joss Whedon and his crack team of writers really know how to create exciting and entertaining plotlines, character developement and witty witty laugh-out-loud dialogue. It is not at all hard to get into the rhythm of the show, in fact it becomes addictive, so much so that it's even more painful when you end up watching the last episode. And the fact that only fourteen episodes were made makes it worse. Good thing there is still the movie Serenity, which neatly ties everything together. And if you liked the movie and own that, then it makes perfect sense to get this too.

5.0 out of 5 stars lots of fun,
Scott Fairley (Hamilton, ON) - See all my reviews
There's not nearly enough of it, but this box set is excellent. Lots of fun characters and absurdism. The fact that it's in a sci-fi world is an afterthought, which I really like; too many sci-fi shows use the setting as a crutch for dialogue and events. Firefly uses it as a backdrop and nothing more. It's a shame it ended as soon as it did, but there isn't a single bad episode in this set. Would it have eventually jumped the shark? Probably. Most shows do. So the result of the shows mis-management by Fox TV is a show that was always at it's peak

5.0 out of 5 stars Watched Serenity first,
bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
I watched serenity about 20 times before finally breaking down and watching the complete Firefly series (14 episodes, 2002-2003). You can see my Serenity review for more details on the movie.
This series has all my favorite characters from the movie. The series was of course made before the movie. The series has most of the same characters and loosely the same base story. I can see where the series closed down too soon.
Some space ship, some cowboy, and a lot of people to people situation interaction. Each episode brings in a new problem and we see how our characters are to solve the problem or at least leave us with the thought of what we would do if we were there.
I saw the complete series on Blu-ray DVD as I wanted more control over the display and repeated viewing without having to subscribe to a service. The extras were disanointing and there was no voiceover commentary. Some of the scenes ware a tad grainy; however this does not distract from the presentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Series!,
Martha Mallon (Scarborough, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I was delighted to discover that "Firefly", a short-lived but intriguing series, was available in DVD. I have often though about this show since its cancellation, about its excellent characters, its beautiful visuals, its skillful editing, and it very distinctive, bitter-sweet music - a well crafted show. Central to this series is Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a dynamic leader who has been betrayed by his immature conception of God. Second-in-command is the "Amazon" Zo�, his faithful friend and companion who supported him throughout the Alliance/Independence war, through a crushing defeat, and continues to support him in their dubious present. Third-in-command is the brutal and cunning mercenary, Jayne, who suffers from time-to-time from an irksome streak of sensitivity that threatens to develop into a full-blown case of loyalty. Also on the crew is Wash, the brilliant but quirky navigator and pilot, beloved of Zo�, and saviour of the Captain, as well as the creative child-mechanic, Kaykee, the "heart" of Serenity. Acting as conscience is the enigmatic figure of Shepherd Book who handles both gun and bible with equal ease, and the "veneer of civilization" is represented by the rather awkward character, Doctor Simon, who protects and heals his trickster-child sister, River, who has been exploited by and is now being hunted down by the forces of the Alliance. Finally, to complete the cast, is the strong feminine presence of Enora, the sultry, warm, wise Enora, a "legitimate business woman" who is in communion with and in opposition to the captain. Within Serenity, an aged but sturdy firefly vessel, this unlikely group embarks on a journey without a destination, a journey into "the black".

RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) — One day after the Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney confirmed police were investigating an alleged incident that involved Delegate Joe Morrissey (D – Henrico) and a 17-year-old girl, the lawyer for the teen's mother said "there is no story here."
And our CBS-6 legal expert says that could prove a problem for Morrisey.
Reading from a prepared statement, attorney Rob Walker explained why the girl was at the delegate's Glen Allen home late Friday night.
"With the permission, blessing, approval and full knowledge of her mother, the young lady went to Mr. Morrissey's house to discuss a very sensitive, both personal and legal matter," Walker said Thursday. "My client knew when her daughter was going to be with Mr. Morrissey and knew when she would return."
Police sources told CBS 6 reporter Jon Burkett that officers went to Morrissey's Glen Allen home Friday at the request of the girl's father. The officers were told to tell Morrissey that the teenager's father wanted her to come home. The father and mother live in separate residences.
But when asked Wednesday about the investigation and the incident, Morrissey professed ignorance.
"Didn't know anything about it," he told Burkett. "Wish I could help you."
A day later, Walker called the story "salacious, titillating and terribly misleading."
"My client told the police that her daughter told her that at all times during the visit, Mr. Morrissey was a gentleman and acted entirely in a professional manner," Walker added. "My client's privacy and her daughter's has been violated and she is upset."
But CBS-6 legal expert Todd Stone says Morrisey saying one thing and an attorney claiming another, could cause more problems for Morrissey if prosecutors push forward and police charge the delegate, who himself is an attorney.
"Anytime a defendant in a case makes a statement to the press, police or anybody else, it can be used against him," Stone said.
Stone says the warrant CBS-6 obtained in Chesterfield showing a seizure of the teen's cell phone, paints a pretty clear picture of where police are putting their resources.
"It tells us they think a sexual offense is going on," said Stone. "And with 'indecent liberties with a minor in a custodial role,' that makes it go from a misdemeanor to a felony. That's a sex offender registry offense."
Stone points out the investigation involving a cell phone could take weeks to get a return on subpoenas, but that text messages and pictures could add a lot of evidence to an inquiry.
The girl's father told CBS 6's Jon Burkett Wednesday (Aug. 28) he was attending a funeral in New York and would comment when he returned to town.
A message on Morrisey's personal cell phone refers all callers to his law office.

New Strength in Numbers
It appears there's new life in the great outdoors. Some of the best news from the 2013 SHOT Show was unveiled in a mountain of statistics Thursday. Hunters and anglers have more strength in these new numbers.
U.S. hunters increased nine percent and anglers were up 11 percent in 2011. It marks the first reversal in recent history's downward trends.
The Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation (CSF) and the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) revealed the results from the latest statistics available. They were combined with a previously released report from the American Sportfishing Association (ASA).
Maybe it's a sign that people got back to the basics of life after the economy tanked. But that's probably reading too much into these numbers. The increases may reflect simply added scrutiny. It was noted during Thursday's press conference that an unprecedented $13 million was spent in compiling the CSF and NSSF reports.

I'm trying to come across as the best thing since sliced bread, the automobile and the Internet – combined. Short of that, I just want a personal business card that suits my aesthetics because in fairness I cannot go around calling myself a photographer.

Hi matey,
I think you need to put down on paper first as to what you are trying to come across as with the card ie portrait, wedding, landscape photographer or just a general all round nice (well sometimes) person. From that come up with a design – does that make sense??
With regards to the top, I like the picture but I dont like the way the white of the card meets with the edge of the tree, it needs more of a bleed/fade/merge – whatever!!!
Your most fav person

I understand and see where you are coming from but the bleed/fade/merge thing is still too harsh.
Now stop wasting everyone's time and fix it ;-)))
Speak soon
July 2, 2009 at 21:16
Well get off your own arse and show me what you'd do!

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A 115-million-year-old fossilized wasp from northeast Brazil presents a baffling puzzle to researchers. The wasp's ovipositor, the organ through which it lays its eggs, looks a lot like those of present-day wasps that lay their eggs in figs. The problem, researchers say, is that figs arose about 65 million years after this wasp was alive.

A report of the findings appears in the journal Cretaceous Research.
The wasp belongs to the Hymenoptera superfamily known as Chalcidoidea, which parasitize other insects, spiders and some plants. The group includes about 22,000 known species and is estimated to contain up to 500,000 species.
"This is a tiny parasitic wasp, it's the smallest fossil wasp found in this particular deposit and it's the oldest representative of its family," said Sam Heads, a paleoentomologist at the Illinois Natural History Survey at the University of Illinois. "More importantly, it's possible that this wasp was fig-associated, which is interesting because it's Early Cretaceous, about 115 to 120 million years old. That's a good 65 million years or so prior to the first occurrence of figs in the fossil record."
Heads worked in collaboration with University of Portsmouth scientists Nathan Barling and David Martill.
The new findings demonstrate the value of studying insect fossils, Heads said.
"The fossil record of insects is very extensive both geographically and temporally. It goes back 415 to 420 million years and preserves the ancestral forms of a lot of the insects that are alive today," he said. "So it's a great resource for understanding insect evolutionary history and the distribution of insects across the planet in the past."
The presence of a wasp with an ovipositor that looks like those used by fig wasps today is not hard evidence that figs were around in the fossil wasp's day – a time of dinosaurs, Heads said.
"There is no evidence of the existence of figs at this time and the most recent molecular study doesn't place figs that far back," he said. While it is possible that figs are older than current studies indicate, it is also possible that "something like a fig was around and this wasp was parasitizing whatever that was."
This could be an example of convergent evolution, where separate species independently evolve similar traits, he said. Or the fossil wasp could be the ancestor of the fig wasp, and its ovipositor, first adapted to a plant or fruit that was around long before the fig, later found a use in figs.
Comparing insect fossils with living organisms offers new insights into the natural history of insects, the plants they pollinate and their hosts or prey, Heads said. This differs significantly from studies of the fossils of animals that have become extinct.
"When you talk about paleontology to people the first thing they think of is dinosaurs," he said. "And that's great. Dinosaurs are really exciting, wonderful animals. But for the most part, they're extinct. With insects and other arthropods like spiders and scorpions, they're around still. So we have modern forms to compare our fossil forms to, which is incredibly useful."
The Illinois Natural History Survey is a division of the Prairie Research Institute at the U. of I.
The paper, "A New Parasitoid Wasp (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) From the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation of Brazil: The First Mesozoic Peteromalidae," is available online.

Brandon Cordina was on his way to a birthday party Monday night when he noticed people staring at dozens of paper fliers stapled to utility poles along King Street.
"HAVE YOU SEEN ME?" the flier read. "THIS MAN GOT ME PREGNANT AND WON'T RETURN MY PHONE CALL'S." Cordina looked closer at the photo of the deadbeat dad, a young man in a tuxedo flashing a grin. It looked awfully familiar.
"Hey dude, that's you," Cordina's friend said as he handed him a copy.
It sure was. He had posed for that shot for his Wando High School yearbook. Now, someone had repurposed the photo to prank Cordina, 21, who doesn't have a child on the way.
People began to eyeball him on the street and in bars. Soon, photos of the fliers began spreading on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Long-lost friends messaged him, and random strangers, discovering his identity, reached out online to rib him or to encourage him to "man-up" and help his fictitious baby mama.
"I was definitely surprised," said Cordina, a Charleston resident. "And I definitely knew who was behind it."
He and a group of longtime friends have a proud tradition of punking one another, always looking for a creative way to take it to the next level.
They have hidden friends' cars, plastered other rides with sticky notes and placed fake ads on Craigslist. Friend Johnny Bamond recently spent a day fielding calls from confused Detroit residents who had seen his name and number under a prank ad for a pit bull giveaway.
Another friend with a firewood business had to explain to callers that he wasn't giving away his stock for free, as another bogus ad claimed.
"It's all about seeing the reaction of other people," said Ryan Andersen, one of the pranksters.
"And keeping our friendships on edge," Cordina's roommate, Jackson Clark, said.
Monday's prank was epic even by their standards. Clark, Andersen, Bamond, fellow prankster Jay Meyer and some helpers posted 150 of the fliers around downtown from Spring to Wentworth streets.
The contact numbers on the fliers took callers to unsuspecting friends of the group who were also snared by the prank.
Most people found the gag hilarious, and even Cordina had some laughs at his own expense.
But his friends best beware. He already has started plotting his revenge.

Brandon Cordina (left) can laugh about the prank now, and already is plotting to get the next laugh on his friends Johnny Bamond (from second from left), Ryan Andersen, Jay Meyer and Jackson Clark. "It's all about seeing the reaction of other people," Andersen said Tuesday.×

Anthony Asael
|Anthony Asael
19 November 1974
Brussels, Belgium
|Solvay Business School
|Photographer, Explorer
|Years active
Anthony Asael (born 1974) is a well recognized international photographer and part of Corbis agency. He is one of the very few people who has visited each of the 193 countries of the world. He is of Turkish and Italian origin. He is also the founder of the not-for-profit organization Art in All of Us.[1]
Early life and education[edit]
His passion for photography began very early - at 9 years old, he was already developing his black and white work in a lab. Over the next few years, he was given the opportunity to travel on several occasions with Ruggero Gabbai – a professional Italian photographer and film director - as his personal assistant.
Art in All of Us[edit]
A graduate of Solvay Business School in Belgium, he held management positions at various IT and telecommunication companies. In 2004 he decided to change life and he's been dedicating 100% of his time to the nonprofit sector. He founded Art in All of Us [1] that promotes tolerance and cultural exchanges.[2] He is now dedicated to accomplishing the mission of this organization, aiming at stimulating creativity and curiosity of children of the world. Having traveled throughout the world and met different cultures, Asael aims at building more tolerance through ARTistic communication. He wants Art in All of Us to be the international platform of art exchanges among children from all the countries of the world. The mission of Art in All of Us is to promote tolerance and creative cultural exchange throughout the 192 UN member countries, using universal language of Art.[3] Asael believes that the construction of a better and fair world needs to go through the education of the less advantaged person. Therefore, Art in All of Us decided to focus the project on children, since in most countries they are only considered as half a person, and do not benefit from the right to express themselves. The expected AiA World Art Book Program of Art in All of Us was published and launched the 20 of November 2009 at the United Nations in the frame of the 20 years anniversary of the Children Rights Convention. It presents in one book each and every of the 192 UN member countries through a single portrait of a resident, a drawing and a poetry done by a local child.[4]
Today, Asael enjoys seeing passers-by examine his portraits with delight, such as his famous exhibitions of "Colors and Scents", "The 8 Millennium Goals", "Children Rights", "Know your World" and the "Children World Art Tour".[5] His artwork is featured in many different continents around the world. He has featured in 2006-2008 an exhibition on the Millennium Goals in Brussels,[6] Milan (Italy), Antwerp (Belgium), Toronto (Canada), New York and Santiago (Chile) for the 60th anniversary of the Unicef. Other recent exhibitions can be seen in Brussels, Paris, Madrid, Cologne, Toronto, New York. In 2012, his work has been honored at the World Expo 2012 in Yeosu, South Korea and in Rio de Janeiro for the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. Asael's artwork and photography have been shown in over 80 exhibitions since 2000.[7]
Awards and recognition[edit]
He has taught photography to over 155,000 children in over 1650 schools thanks to Art in All of Us partnerships like with the UNICEF or SOS Children Villages.[8]
He and Art in All of Us has also been honored by being invited by the UNICEF to exhibit in the UNICEF headquarters for the 20 years anniversary of the Children Rights Convention.[9] In 2009, he also won the first Prize of the Kodak Smile Festival in Paris.[10]

India's top home loan company, Housing Development Finance Corp (HDFC), on Friday announced a 17% year-on-year rise in net profit to Rs. 1,173 crore for the quarter ended June 2013 against Rs. 1,002 crore a year ago, driven by healthy growth in loan demand.
Net profit, which missed analysts' expectations of Rs. 1,218 crore, sent the company's shares down 2.9% to Rs. 804 on the BSE.
HDFC's loan book increased 19% to Rs. 176,993 crore as on June 30, 2013, against Rs. 148,262 crore on June 30, 2012.
"This is the thirty-fourth consecutive quarter end at which the percentage of non-performing loans have been lower than a year ago," said Keki Mistry, chief executive officer, HDFC.

A few years ago, there was a movement afoot calling on American Muslims to boycott US Airways. Six imams — among them Truthers and Hamas supporters — had gone out of their way to act like terrorists and succeeded in getting themselves removed from a Phoenix-bound flight. They subsequently threatened the airline with what they took to be a public-relations nightmare, where the company would have to explain that radical Muslims were avoiding US Air flights because of overly stringent security measures. Typical reaction: best boycott evuh.
The Foreign Press Association in Israel has threatened a boycott after a reporter said she was asked to remove her bra during a security check. Al-Jazeera filed a complaint about what it called a humiliating check at an invitation-only event in Jerusalem, prompting the press association to threaten to ignore briefings by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu if security procedures aren't changed immediately. … "In a democratic country, security services are not permitted to do as they please," the association said in a statement. (emphasis added)
Putting aside the irony of supporting Muslim Brotherhood propagandists while lecturing Israel on democratic norms — come on now.
Al Jazeera already publishes briefings by Israeli officials only when it suits their ideology. During Cast Lead, their local reporters tried to publish a statement by Ehud Barak and were overruled by officials in Qatar. That was the last war, when they simply spiked inconvenient facts. During the war before that, Al Jazeera crews actively helped Hezbollah target Israeli civilians. So let's tone down the outrage about how security services should be interacting with that outlet's reporters.
As for the broader boycott by the Foreign Press Association, what are they going to do? Stop printing Israeli denials alongside feverish Palestinian claims? Is the threat that they'll go from "Palestinian officials accused the IDF of using white phosphorous to give women nightmares and make sheep sterile, but Israel officials denied the charges" to "Palestinian officials accused the IDF of using white phosphorous to give women nightmares and make sheep sterile full stop"?
What a biased, one-sided journalistic world that would be.

Isn't that nice, that they'll use our own money against us in a crusade to convince doctors NOT to treat the "miscreants"? That they'll convince insurance companies to NOT cover people who pay their premiums for their lifestyle choices? All the while our roads are crumbling, our elderly suffer, our schools suck. WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS??? We The People did NOT give tobacco control this kind of power and it's time We The People take it away from them!
In 1998 the American Cancer Society finally retracted their 53,000 statistic, stating in a press release: "The American Cancer Society will no longer use the statistic because we too have been unable to acquire the documentation to support this citation." In other words, it was a lie.
Wonder why the figure is still being used? They simply can't stop lying. Close to 90% of the weight of tobacco smoke is composed of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and plain water (1989 Report of the Surgeon General p. 80). This mix is usually called "fresh air." For this we take away property rights? So that someone's smoke-free preference can trump an owners rights?
A public place is taxpayer funded, a privately owned property INVITES the public in, you are not required to enter at any time. You get an F!
Another computer generated number that seems to keep changing. There are NO names associated with them, they're all fake! Much like the global warming scam with phony data, the second hand smoke scam has become like a religion for the extremists and beyond. It's blossomed so big it's now considered fact. Unless, of course, you do a little digging. You'll find out that it is exactly like global warming. All are financed by an entity that stands to gain huge profits. In the case of SHS, it's Pharma, makers of their own nicotine brands. I say it's time to take SHS to trial. Then lets see who wins, Pharma or our citizens and business owners who've been robbed of their right to run their business without a scam taking away their rights! Anyone bowing to this charade should be very ashamed of themselves!
Ah, usually it's an OWNER who invites them in knowing full well they are smokers or they would have put a sign above the door indicating a non-smoking venue! It's the ANTI smokers who have NO consideration for an owner and their preference as to who they serve! YOU had a choice to enter or not. It's YOU who have NO consideration!
Another one who should just go to a pig sty, we business owners don't need you telling us how to run our businesses, in fact, STAY OUT!
So go to a pig sty! No business owner will force you to enter their establishment only to tell them how to run their business! In fact, they don't want you there.
You have a lot of hillbilly friends? I know many professionals (educated) who will NOT work under smoke-free rules and have quit! So how many of the brightest and best has the professional world lost dueto the preference of those less educated? How many business owners will have lost everything due to those with their snobby anti-smoker bullying?
The decrease in the number of smokers has increased the incidence of chilhood asthma by 500%. Coincidence? Not. Children of mothers who smoked at least 15 cigarettes a day tend to have lower odds for suffering from allergic rhino-conjunctivitis, allergic asthma, atopic eczema and food allergy, compared to children of mothers who had never smoked. Kids of smokers have LOWER asthma! Just MAYBE you should stop drinking the Kool Aid!
Seems to me I've read about a lot of anti-smokers killing smokers, NOT the other way around. I've NEVER heard of a non-smoker dropping dead from being around a smoker. That's nothing but sound bites from a brilliant marketing scam for alternative nicotine. How on earth did people get so stupid after so many years of smokers and non-smokers co-existing peacefully???
Wow, the propaganda continues! I just read an eerily similar article about how Wisconsin just loves the ban. NOTHING could be further from the truth. The people sitting on their butts at home love it just fine, the people working hate it, the people owning businesses hate it, the people who've lost their jobs because of it hate it. So, those in a POLL who "will go out just as often" must be going out about once a year! Those who actually go out aren't dropping over dead from smoke, nor are they dropping over dead from water. Over-indulging in water really will kill you, smoke won't!
Ha, if you can find a job that is. The industry is mostly out of work with the ban. Give me back the smoke and the tips any day!
It's empty, everyone is outside! Believe me, I know, I'm a bartender.
Funny isn't it. ALL of the world's oldest people are, or were, smokers. There isn't a non-smoker in the thousands of them. When all the veterans are gone and there are very few who will fight for smokers, who will fight for everyone else when they come for the rest of our rights?
AGREED! ``We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.''
NOWHERE does this say HEALTH! Just like the nazi government and those who would benefit, like pharma's nicotine that finance ban legislation, to skew it to fit an agenda!
Funny isn't it. ALL of the world's oldest people are, or were, smokers. There isn't a non-smoker in the thousands of them. When all the veterans are gone and there are very few who will fight for smokers, who will fight for everyone else when they come for the rest of our rights?
Why don't you just stay home? It seems your aversion to smells is toxic in itself. I don't see your complaints listed about auto exhaust, welding smoke, sweat odor, sewage, cow smells. Oh! You CHOOSE not to work in an auto shop, welding shop, gym, water treatment facility, farm. You CHOOSE not to go anywhere near them? Well choose this, stay OUT of my smoking permitted business too!
I OWN a business! I don't want this law impeding me making a living, so it most certainly IS about property rights! By your demanding your preference on my property makes you a trespasser on MY property and I don't want you there. I don't care if it's smoking or your demand that I serve only health food, it's you and your ilk that have no business in my business. And if you don't like the flag and the Constitution, feel free to move out of this nation!
We simply cannot allow the majority to vote away the rights of others. Just a few years ago this would have been unheard of. But the social engineering that many have fallen prey to has caused people to believe this should be done. Who will protect your rights if you so easily allow others to lose theirs?
Grapenut, it's very clear you know nothing about our Republic called the U.S.A. The founders of our nation held a deep abhorrence for democracy and majority rule. In Federalist Paper No. 10, James Madison wrote, "Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority." John Adams predicted, "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." Our founders intended for us to have a republican form of limited government where the protection of
individual God-given rights was the primary job of government. If our country was a democracy, 51% of the people could decide they want to kill the other 49%. That is why our nation is a Constitutional Republic, to protect the minority from mob-rule, in this case, smokers!

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Civil Rights Division has ruled in favor of a transgender 6-year-old child who was barred from using the girls' bathroom at Eagleside Elementary School in Fountain.
The Denver Post reports (http://bitly.com/10LSRqG ) that the New York-based Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund said Sunday it would a hold a news conference Monday to explain the decision affecting Coy Mathis.
The fund filed the complaint on behalf of Kathryn and Jeremy Mathis, claiming that Coy has been discriminated against.
Kathryn Mathis said in a statement that the family is "thrilled that Coy can return to school and put this behind her."
The Fountain-Fort Carson School District 8 told Coy's parents in December that the first-grader would not be able to continue to use the girls' restroom after the holiday break.

My Midsummer halo with wild dog roses.
When I make halos for myself, I prefer to use only kind of flower or at least one colour.
This summer there's loads and loads of wild dog roses everywhere.
So it was no question that I would make a dog rose halo for Midsummer.
But then it started to rain so badly that I deciced not to wear it.
Instead it ended up as a centerpiece on the dining table.
This is my contribution to the Thursday Themes at Fabriken.

The 'Fan Passport' has been ruled illegal in Italy due to the payment system, so the Government must find another way to tackle hooliganism.
The Tessera del Tifoso, which translates as fan passport, was introduced three years ago in a bid to identify those going to football matches around the country.
It also allowed new rules ensuring only those with the fan passport would be allowed to attend certain high-risk away games.
However, today the Codacons (consumer protection agency) declared the fan passport is "illegitimate" because of its payment system.
"By all means give fans a method of identification, if this can help stop violence in the stadiums, but you cannot force people to sign up to a rechargeable credit card to have the fan passport," said Codacons President Carlo Rienzi.
"In order to attend a game, they should not necessarily have to sign up to a contract with a bank by paying money."
Italy's Minister of the Interior Anna Maria Cancellieri confirmed something would have to change.
"We have great respect, as always, for the rulings. Now we will read the decision and then see what we will do."

When providing mental health services to individuals, couples and families of diverse backgrounds, mental health counselors should consider the impact that diversity sensitivity has on the quality of the services rendered. This week, Xiomara A. Sosa, the Executive Creator of the National Hispanic Mental Health Professionals Network, breaks down the ways in which diversity sensitivity impacts the effectiveness of couples and family counseling.
Impact on Couples and Families
Diversity has a significant impact on the effectiveness of counseling with couples and families and on the quality of services that counselors offer them. The impact that diversity has on couples and families becomes evident in how counselors are able to appropriately perceive those relationships within their specific context. Seeing those relationships within the contexts of their specific diversity allows counselors to recognize the strong influence that it has on them as individuals as well as on their relationships with one another. Couples and families live within societies where their gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, among other diverse factors, influence their world view. Ignoring this would amount to ineffective interventions and unethical counseling practices (Thomlison, 2010).
Impact on Counselors
Diversity also has a direct impact on counselors because it necessitates that they increase their attention to contextual issues in their practice directly related to many different diversity factors. For example, counselors must pay attention to power differences between the sexes and cultures as well as in spirituality and religion. They must also remain crystal clear about their ethical duty to remain non-judgmental towards non-traditional couples and families that include sexual and gender minorities. Counselors view these issues as metaframeworks, which unifies gender, culture, and other diversity factors (Thomlison, 2010).
Gender Identity
One issue related to diversity that may have an impact on a couple's counseling session is gender identity. A couple that has one partner struggling with issues of gender identity can present with issues that are very different from those of traditional couples. It is important that the counselor have the awareness, knowledge, and cultural competency necessary to provide the appropriate counseling required for the couple and to prevent further distress for them (Thomlison, 2010).
Sexual Orientation and Gender Expression
Other diversity issues in counseling include sexual orientation and gender expression. For example, a family seeking counseling as a result of a child coming out as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, or questioning can present unique challenges. This requires that the counselor be culturally competent in providing appropriate counseling. It also requires that he or she not allow personal biases, including religious and culture based prejudice or beliefs, to interfere with the appropriate, healthy, and ethically founded response that is mandatory when working in the helping professions. Using affirmative therapy in this instance would be an appropriate, ethical and empirically founded technique rather than using reparative therapy, which is not. It would be vital for the counselor to approach the sessions mindfully to avoid further distressing the family (Thomlison, 2010).
Ethical Counseling Practice
Counselors must address diversity in their practice when providing services to couples and families. Contextual issues have an impact in the lives of individuals in negative and positive ways. It is important that counselors address diversity issues in their practice and that they recognize that ignoring these components is unethical as mental health professionals (Thomlison, 2010).

that VAERS is an extremely useful tool, when used the way it was designed (i.e., for hypothesis generating for unusual and unexpected adverse reactions) rather than for quantification of expected adverse reactions. As such, VAERS should not be eliminated from the safety system. Rather, the committee suggests that VAERS be used as a backup system and a system for generating hypotheses.
To help identify the combination of VAERS, PVS, and other surveillance systems that offers the best opportunity for identifying all possible adverse reactions, the committee encourages CDC to continue consulting state epidemiologists, vaccine program managers familiar with tracking other vaccine-associated adverse reactions, and clinicians to address these issues.
Quickly identifying adverse reactions in vulnerable contact populations will be important for ensuring the safest vaccination program possible. The committee encourages CDC to explore the benefit and feasibility of using data from surveillance systems for vulnerable contact populations (e.g., Medicaid data, cancer registries) as an ancillary approach to monitoring adverse reactions.
The committee suggests that CDC consider using mortality surveillance to supplement the adverse reaction surveillance occurring through VAERS and PVS. To reach this end, the committee encourages CDC to reach out to and coordinate with medical examiners and coroners to educate them about the pre-event smallpox vaccination program and to provide guidelines that can be used for determining whether a death was the result of a serious adverse reaction from the smallpox vaccine or from a random unconnected cause. Mortality surveillance also might help identify an otherwise unrecognized actual smallpox case.
CDC mentioned plans to develop a pregnancy registry, to track the outcomes of any pregnancies in recent vaccinees. The committee agrees that the development of a pregnancy registry would be a prudent step and could add to the limited body of knowledge that currently exists on the risk of spontaneous abortions to recent smallpox vaccinees and the incidence of fetal vaccinia.
The nature of any large population experience is that there will be substantial numbers of unusual adverse reactions that, in fact, do not relate to vaccine administration but simply represent background rates of disease. Thus, of the approximately 500,000 vaccine recipients in phase I, it is likely that there will be reports of acute diseases such as influenza or local outbreaks of viral gastroenteritis. Surveillance would be useful in identifying

Orb surges down stretch to win 139th Kentucky Derby
Colt provides trainer Shug McGaughey III first Derby victory
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Race favorite Orb, a rookie in sloppy conditions, took the lead at the quarter pole and sailed on to win Saturday in the 139th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.
The colt provided Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey III his first winner – the Lexington, Ky., native surprisingly only fielded six previous starters in America's most prestigious 3-year-old horse race – following nine career Breeders' Cup victories.
Orb finished with a winning time of 2:02.89, 2 ½ lengths ahead of second-place and longshot Golden Soul, and paid $12.80 to win. Revolutionary edged Normandy Invasion in a photo for third.
Jockey Joel Rosario claimed his first Derby victory as well for owners Scott Janney III and New York-based Phipps Stable.
Orb has now won its last five races since a disappointing start to his career: finishes of third, fourth and fourth in 2-year-old maiden special weight fields.
The bay colt bided his time mid-pack Saturday before Rosario called for more. The Grade I Florida Derby winner, which tied eventual 14th-place finisher Verrazano with 150 Road to the Kentucky Derby points entering the Run for the Roses, then surged ahead of pace setter Palace Mailice down the stretch to win.
The next step in Orb's Triple Crown bid comes in the May 18 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico.

Funky lenses.
Was with some friends today, and shot some portraits in the little studio in my upstairs. Window light; was a cloudy grey day with not much punch. I love the idea of not being able to control the feeling of the light; you've got to shoot your stuff before the sun goes down, and if it's sunny, you get pop, and if it's grey, you get soft and blue. I've also been playing with this beat-to-hell Mamiya 645 lens, 80mm f1.9, that I found, and mounted onto this D3x. I found some strange adapter that let me mount the lens onto the Nikon. My new thing is playing with high ASA too, this is 3200. The higher you go, the prettier the noise gets. The old Mamiya lens does some nice things in the out of focus areas. I love how this has this accidental "Womens Prison, Topeka Kansas, 1945″ sort of feeling to it.
(Added later. Here is the mother of Topeka Kansas 1945. The sun went down, and I had to bring out the hot lights.):

Nice, Mark. Question: what is the funky adapter that you're using? I have a couple of Contax 645 lenses I'd love to use on my Nikon digi cameras, too, and it'd be great to find a similar adapter for the Contax lenses.
'Youth offenders institute' maybe…. It's really lovely.
love working with the light that is there… these are beautiful… I love their eyes.
Great portraits. I would have never guessed those were at ISO 3200.
I have the same lens……
It is fantastic for portraits. I've been picking up old AI and AI-s lenses from KEH. The Fotodiox adapter works pretty well. I'm thinking about picking one up for a couple of fungus-fied old Hassy silver lenses.
[…] claims to benefit from a 1-stop noise improvement. By the way, see what an artist does with ISO 3200 and 6400. __________________ prints | […]
Thanks for the URL to find the lens adapter.
Again, that lense you are using is just a miracle. congratulations on those impressive portraits!
