Sneak Peeks and Spoilers Roundup For Castle Season 5, Episode 13: "Recoil" (VIDEOS)
It definitely seems like Castle Season 5, Episode 13: "Recoil" is going to be packed to capacity with drama and we can't wait for the overload.
First off, let's rehash the synopsis:
"While investigating the murder of a young woman, Castle and Beckett find evidence that links her death with Senator William H. Bracken (guest star Jack Coleman returns), the man responsible for Beckett's mother's murder. Determined to finally bring Bracken to justice, Beckett soon realizes that things are far more complicated than they seem."
And the complications keep building, as we're shown that Kate Beckett will somehow have to protect the man that she wants to kill, in the promo clip below:
Can you feel the hate tonight? And it keeps getting better...
We know from a previous spoiler that Michael Dorn (Star Trek) will reprise his role as Beckett's shrink, Dr. Burke. Does that mean Beckett will seek help with her internal conflict of saving the senator or enacting vengeance? Hmm...
Though we don't know for sure why Senator Bracken will be under Kate's watch, we do know that the victim in this clip needs the team to solve her murder:
Burnt to a crisp with no teeth?! That's serious. What's even more serious is how Becks works to get to the bottom of the murdered girl's case in this video:
And the plot thickens! The murdered girl was with Bracken! Looks like the crooked congressman may have had something to do with the girl's death, but in the clip below, we're not too sure...
Is he being framed? Is that why Kate has to watch him? Or is he orchestrating something bigger than Castle and the team can imagine? The suspense is killing us!
Be sure to watch Castle Season 5, Episode 13: "Recoil" on Monday, February 4, 2013 at 10 p.m. on ABC.

Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Michael E. Peskin
(Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Stanford University)
80\% of the matter in the universe is ``dark matter,'' a neutral, diffuse, and weakly-interacting material made of an unknown elementary particle. In this colloquium, I will explain how we know this, and how we might try to directly observe dark matter particles in the galaxy. I will then examine dark matter from a particle physicist's viewpoint and explain how we will use data from high-energy particle colliders to discover and identify the dark matter particle.

Intel developing its own Siri, and making it better by avoiding the cloud January 27, 2014 at 4:32 pm
When Apple first debuted Siri, the tech world was taken aback — we might finally get a chance to live in a science fiction future where little pocket robots do our bidding when we yell at them. In practice, Siri has been a mixed bag of results. Intel is working on its own version of Siri, but is avoiding using the cloud because that will make the product much better.

The City of Falls Church had to suspend the planned auction of its water system this past week, again opening the door to a potential merger with Fairfax County�s water system.
In February, Falls Church began soliciting interest from utility companies wanting to purchase its water system. Fairfax Water responded with a merger proposal rather than an outright purchase of the city�s utility.
The Falls Church water system serves thousands of customers who reside in Fairfax County, as well as city residents.
In its merger proposal, Fairfax Water General Manager Charles Murray indicated a merger would lower rates for Falls Church customers and save the city millions of dollars in needed infrastructure upgrades to its water system.
However, Falls Church officials set a minimum bid of $44 million for the water system, something Fairfax Water is not offering.
The city was planning to auction the water system to the highest bidder, and had interest from several investor-owned utility companies. However, the Army Corps of Engineers Office of General Counsel then reversed an earlier decision, which stated it was acceptable for the city�s water wholesaler, the Washington Aqueduct, to sell water to a nongovernmental entity.
The Corps now says the Aqueduct only can sell to public utilities, although a final written ruling still is pending.
�The City Council and staff are continuing to evaluate options for the future of City water system, with the goal of providing the best possible long-term solution to its taxpayers and customers,� according to an official statement from Falls Church.
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Sharon Bulova (D-At large) said she is continuing to encourage dialogue between Fairfax Water, which is an independently operated water authority, and Falls Church officials.
She said Fairfax Water is working on an updated letter to city officials that further spells out the financial benefits of a merger.
The letter, to be sent next week, will �spell out more clearly than has been before what the real savings to the city would be and what Fairfax Water would be willing to absorb,� she said.
Fairfax County officials and residents have expressed concern that private ownership would drive up Falls Church water rates, which already are higher than those charged by Fairfax Water.
According to a rate comparison Fairfax Water published May 1, a bill for three months in Fairfax is about $60.19 (assuming usage of 24,000 gallons), compared to $86.55 in Falls Church. In Prince William County, which is served by a subsidiary of the investor-owned American Water, that cost was $149.69 in the first quarter of this year and is proposed to rise, pending approval from the State Corporation Commission.
�An investor-owned utility would have to charge substantially higher rates to recover not only its purchase cost, but also the profit margin and tax obligations that a governmental utility like the city and Fairfax Water do not have,� Bulova wrote in a May 21 letter to Falls Church Vice Mayor David Snyder.
In a May 22 response, Snyder suggested the county could get what it wants by putting a cash bid on the table.
�A very good outcome, in my view, would be for Fairfax Water to make the most competitive proposal and win the bidding process,� Snyder wrote.
Any sale of the city water system has to go before voters, and city officials still are hoping to get the measure on November�s ballot.
In addition, Snyder said, the city council feels pressured to act before July 1, when a new Fairfax County law goes into effect that could restrict the water rates charged to Falls Church water customers who reside in Fairfax County.
Falls Church, the City of Fairfax and the Town of Vienna have sued the county to try to stop that law from going into effect.

Falling Short: Bungie's "Destiny" is fun, but not excellentWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
Bungie's new massive online shooter and multiplayer experience called "Destiny" ($59.99, available on PS4, PS3, 360 and Xbox One) does so many things so wonderfully well it feels like a shame to point out the things it doesn't do quite so well. But the flaws undeniably exist, leaving gaming's newest franchise as a worthwhile and entertaining experience, but one which doesn't quite become the "must-have" blockbuster the new generation of software so desperately needs.
Make no mistake, developer Bungie has clearly aimed high with this new release. Coming off their work on the groundbreaking "Halo" series, which featured a stellar main story campaign while giving players seemingly limitless replay value through its multiplayer matchmaking, Bungie seemed to decide its next game would be a merging of both concepts. A first-person shooter set in a massive multiplayer world, where players would constantly be running into fellow players even as they were involved in their own story.
It's a fascinating idea, capturing the fun of an FPS with the leveling and looting of a "Diablo"-style game, with plenty of multiplayer match-ups thrown in. But while any MMO is hard to judge so early in its life cycle, as it naturally will grow and evolve over time, "Destiny"'s flaws are mainly focused on aspects that you'd imagine would be perfected at the time of release: Story and level design.
Let's start with the single-player campaign that Bungie is trying to tell, which is surprisingly uninspiring. Set a vague time into the future, the game tells of a mysterious celestial body ("The Traveler") which gave Earth's residents amazing power, but brought with it an unspeakable and vaguely defined evil (named, cunningly, "The Darkness"). You are a "guardian" tasked with fending off the Darkness's hordes and protecting what remains of the human race, which you do by running around on various planets and shooting aliens in the head.
Really, that's about it. The narrative doesn't effect the gameplay to any appreciable degree, as most any story mission amounts to "go here, shoot stuff, end level." This isn't to say the action is bad, far from it — the shooting, honed by Bungie over years of work on the "Halo" series, keeps the game fun long after you've stopped trying to care about the galaxy-spanning events that are supposed to be happening. But given how much work was obviously put into the universe "Destiny" exists in, it's unfortunate how little effort was made to give the events that take place there some weight.
The actual environments themselves are somewhat disappointing, as well. Again, they're not poorly made or designed at all. The canvas that "Destiny" gives players is rich and varied, and every level is distinct and beautiful. But there seem to be so few of them.
Most all of the actual action in "Destiny" takes place on one of four locations: Earth, the Moon, Venus or Mars. But the actual area to play in on each planet seems so tiny, especially since players pass over the same area of the map over and over during story missions and optional side-quests. Whether fair or not, this gives the impression of lazy design — that instead of multi-layered worlds to explore, players are being marched through the same basic sections repeatedly.
Again, these issues are even more of a shame when "Destiny"'s strengths are considered — and there are many. As mentioned, the gun play is top-notch — some of the best first-person action ever captured on a console. The world, what there is of it, is richly designed and gorgeous to look at, with all sorts of fascinating small details that make it feel truly immersive.
The game largely succeeds as an MMO outside of its main campaign, as well. There are tons of customization options for the look of your character and gear, and earning currency to upgrade your armor and weapons is as addictive as you can imagine. Meeting up with friends and/or strangers to tackle missions or compete in multiplayer battles makes the game feel like a truly social experience, and I've already made a few friends by first playing alongside them online. There are drawbacks to the game's always-online nature, though, most galling of which is if there's any interruption of your signal, it immediately aborts your mission — even in single-player story situations.
Ultimately, whether the good in "Destiny" outweighs the disappointments is going to be up to the individual player. I am enjoying the pursuit of better weapons and higher levels enough to keep me engaged, even as I mentally whine about heading down that same path *again*. But gamers looking for that elusive "next big thing" … well, they're probably going to want to keep looking.

Early detection of cancer saves lives, right?
Not necessarily.
This widely-held belief drives many to get unnecessary screenings.
That's according to a study just released by Consumer Reports.
As NewsChannel 3's Juliet Bickford tells us – many cancer tests have been oversold to the general population – and the risks of some, outweigh the benefits. Watch the video for the full story.

June's woefully underwhelming increase in jobs is a climactic twist in the negotiations between President Obama and congressional Republicans over federal borrowing, government debt and America's economic future.
Best-case scenario, it's a Michael Bay twist: dramatic, explosive, but it all works out in the end.
Worst case, we're looking at M. Night Shyamalan: quite jarring, and potentially very scary.
The Labor Department's report Friday morning that the economy added just 18,000 net jobs last month, or roughly six figures below the consensus forecast from economic analysts, immediately hardened conservatives' and liberals' beliefs about why the recovery continues to sputter and what it needs to kick into gear. That hardening, and the political pressure that will ratchet up along with it, is the unwelcome twist in the endgame negotiations over raising the federal debt ceiling.
Whether his economic advisers acknowledge it or not, Obama now must confront new and persuasive evidence that he has, once again, overestimated the strength of the recovery. The White House has said for months that the economy was past the point of needing more help from the government, even as gas prices rose and sapped consumer spending, and Japan's earthquake disrupted global trade. The president has mimicked Republicans in calling for government belt-tightening, even as the public sector steadily sheds jobs, including 39,000 more in June.
On Friday, liberals more or less revolted against that philosophy. The June jobs report "demonstrates austerity is killing the recovery," the Campaign for America's Future said in a press release. Economic Policy Institute economist Heidi Schierholz warned that the labor market is in "full retreat" and said Obama and Congress "need to stop talking about deficit reduction and start talking about job creation."
For Obama, that adds up to a lot of pressure to get more money, now, into consumers' hands as part of a debt-ceiling deal, possibly in the form of a deeper cut in payroll taxes. Which is to say, at a time when the president has steadily moved toward Republicans at the bargaining table, he might need to throw down a few new demands of his own.
The twist might be even more dramatic for House Speaker John Boehner, who is spearheading GOP negotiations on the debt ceiling and demanding trillions of dollars in spending cuts along with increased borrowing authority.
Boehner greeted the jobs report with a now-stock response, calling it evidence that "the misguided 'stimulus' spending binge, excessive regulations, and an overwhelming national debt continue to hold back private-sector job creation in our country." Other conservatives were harsher: Bill Wilson, president of Americans for Limited Government, said it was "time for this president to end his love affair with trillion-and-a-half-dollar deficits and higher taxes on those who produce jobs."
The pressure is now certainly rising on Boehner not to cut a deal, any deal, with Obama that gives an inch of ground on federal spending. There are two reasons for that. The first is that weak jobs numbers appear to weaken Obama's hand at the table. If the economy already looks terrible, Republicans might conclude, how much could the president really blame the GOP if negotiations fail, the government defaults, and markets tank?
The second explanation is entirely political. Once Boehner cuts a debt-ceiling deal - unless it's a very short-term one - the Republican Party loses some of its best cudgels for battering the president on the economy. Working together, Republicans and the president will have reduced uncertainty over federal debt levels and cut government spending. What would Republicans' "Where are the Jobs?" press releases say next month, in that case?
A U.S. default, or a drastic and immediate cut in spending to avert one next month, would give this recovery a very unhappy ending. Most analysts say America would risk falling back into recession. Avoiding that scenario just got more difficult. Let's just hope this isn't The Sixth Sense all over again, and we're not dead already.

Gather a few empty salsa jars (or similar wide-mouth containers) and fill them a third of the way with cheap beer. Then bury them about 15 feet from your garden, girlfriend, or whatever you're trying to protect. Make sure the rims are almost level with the soil surface. For some reason, slugs love beer. They'll find the traps, drop in, and drown. Do this in the evening, let them party all night, and give them an honorable burial in the morning.
Okay, here's the scenario. A bit far-fetched, we admit, but look who's going to be our next president. Let's say you're hopelessly lost in the wilderness, and all you have is a can of beer, a sewing needle, a small bowl, and a pair of extra-large silk panties. (Because this is a matter of life and death, the camp counselor should give hers up.) First, open the beer, pour some into the bowl, and let it go flat. (Better drink the rest; this may not work.) Next, magnetize the needle by stroking it repeatedly in one direction with the panties. This will generate a charge of static electricity. Then float the needle in the beer. When it stops, it'll be pointing in a north-south direction. Now get outta there!
Pour a couple of cold ones into a bucket and soak your dogs. "Ice-cold beer with lots of carbonation can be soothing for tired feet," says Dr. Alexander. Stop at two; you don't want to start staggering.
Forget volleyball and croquet. At your next party, lay a large vinyl tarp on a slope, then make it slick with lots of beer. Have your friends strip down to their underwear or swim trunks, get a running start, and slide downhill on their butts.
John Palmer, a hypertensive home-brewer and engineer in Monrovia, California, puts a handful of dried hops or hops pellets (available at any home-brew store) in a coffeemaker and brews them with hot water. It makes for a bitter tea, but he claims it brings his blood pressure back to normal within 10 minutes by dilating the capillaries. "There may be something to it," says Dr. Alexander. "A person who's intoxicated is usually flushed and sweaty. Some ingredient is dilating the blood vessels, which, in turn, lowers blood pressure." We don't advocate this as a replacement for medication, though.
Live in an apartment where the landlord pays the heat bill and sets the thermostat pretty low? Ice up a can of beer in the freezer, then set it atop the lockbox that encloses the thermostat. The cold from the beer will trick the thermostat into thinking the temperature has dropped so it'll turn the heat on.
You already know how to put a bun in the oven. Now it's time to go all the way. Here's a healthful, foolproof recipe for high-fiber beer bread from the book Tailoring Your Taste, by nutritionist Omichinski:
2 3/4 c all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp each sugar, baking powder
1/4 c ground flaxseed
1 tsp each salt, dried basil, dried rosemary, thyme
1/2 c unsalted sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp cooking oil
12 oz beer, at room temperature
Mix all the dry ingredients. Add oil and beer. Stir until dough is just mixed. Put dough in a greased 9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 375 F for 45 minutes or until nicely browned. Remove from oven and let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove from pan to cool some more.

getnameinfo - address-to-name translation in protocol-independent manner
#include sa, socklen_t salen, char *host, size_t hostlen, char *serv, size_t servlen, int flags);
The getnameinfo(3) function is defined for protocol-independent address-to-nodename translation. It combines the functionality of gethostbyaddr(3) and getservbyport(3) and is the inverse of getaddrinfo(3). The sa argument is a pointer to a generic socket address structure (of type sockaddr_in or sockaddr_in6) of size salen that holds the input IP address and port number. The arguments host and serv are pointers to buffers (of size hostlen and servlen repectively) to hold the return values.
The caller can specify that no hostname (or no service name) is required by providing a NULL host (or serv) argument or a zero hostlen (or servlen) parameter. However, at least one of hostname or service name must be requested.
The flags argument modifies the behaviour of getnameinfo(3) as follows:
If set, return only the hostname part of the FQDN for local hosts.
If set, then the numeric form of the hostname is returned. (When not set, this will still happen in case the node's name cannot be looked up.)
If set, then a error is returned if the hostname cannot be looked up.
If set, then the service address is returned in numeric form, for example by its port number.
If set, then the service is datagram (UDP) based rather than stream (TCP) based. This is required for the few ports (512-514) that have different services for UDP and TCP.
On success 0 is returned, and node and service names, if requested, are filled with NUL-terminated strings, possibly truncated to fit the specified buffer lengths. On error a nonzero value is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
The name could not be resolved at this time. Try again later.
The flags parameter has an invalid value.
A non-recoverable error occurred.
The address family was not recognized, or the address length was invalid for the specified family.
Out of memory.
The name does not resolve for the supplied parameters. NI_NAMEREQD is set and the host's name cannot be located, or neither hostname nor service name were requested.
A system error occurred. The error code can be found in errno.
/etc/hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/resolv.conf
In order to assist the programmer in choosing reasonable sizes for the supplied buffers, defines the constants
The former is the constant MAXDNAME in recent versions of BIND's header file. The latter is a guess based on the services listed in the current Assigned Numbers RFC.
The following code tries to get the numeric hostname and service name, for a given socket address. Note that there is no hardcoded reference to a particular address family.

The other.....The back porch. My typical summer rant "out front, out back, in or out"
From Friday night date nights, to afternoon chit chats with friends......this is the place to be. Where all the cool people hang.
1. Comfy seating paired with pillows. This year I bought some cute striped covers from here (they were super inexpensive) to mix in with my already paisley cushions and pillows. Since this porch is covered, I buy indoor fabric and spray with scotch guard to protect from the elements, dogs and kids. Don't want your guests sitting on something nasty.
2. Something to drink. From sweet tea to cold water with lemon, to homemade moonshine...okay , not really about the moonshine, please have a cold beverage for your guests to sip on. This is a must, especially when its hot outside.
3. Ferns, and lot's of them. It's like the staple for the Southern porch. Ferns are the easiest, fullest and inexpensive porch plant to have. I buy them as annuals at the beginning of the season and they will hang in there until the first cold snap. I have Boston ferns on my front porch.
4. Color. Mix in a favorite color or two for your containers, flowers and accessories. I sprayed the containers and monogram yellow and then added some yellow lantana in with my Eugenia Toparies. These Eungenia's are so easy to grow and make a great statement by the front door.
5. Conversation, laughter and fun. No restriction to how much, time of day and how often. Although, the more the merrier......especially after a few shots of that moonshine.
So, where are you hangin out this summer?
Regardless of where you are sitting or where you will be, I hope you will enjoy the Summer time. Come back anytime...you know where I will be! To see last years summer porch, click here.
I hope you will visit my other Southern Pals for more Outdoor Living Ideas.

This course is a collection of short Photoshop and Illustrator projects and creative effects that can be completed in ten minutes or less. The series is taught by computer graphics guru Deke McClelland, and presented in his signature step-by-step style. The intent is to reveal how various Photoshop and Illustrator features can be combined and leveraged in real-world examples so that they can be applied to creative projects right away.
Hey gang! This is Deke McClelland. Welcome to Deke's Techniques! Now if you have a keen eye for detail, you may notice that I'm wearing a down jacket, not because I'm cold--in fact I'm boiling--but rather to remind you that winter is on its way, which means here come the holidays. So, today's episode is all about baubles, bangles, and beads. Specifically, we're going to be taking this black ellipse with this photographic necklace and this marble in the background, and we'll turn it into this lustrous round jewel using nothing more than vector-based ellipses and layer effects.
Here, let me take off this jacket and show you exactly how it works. We're going to be approaching this project on two fronts. First of all, in this movie, I'll show you how to start with a gradient ellipse and then we'll add a few primitive layer effects, and then finally we'll heap on a series of shine layers. And then in another movie, I'll show you how to create these satin cuts through the shine layers, as well as add the final layer of brushing, which affords us a higher degree of realism.
I'm starting inside a file that contains a handful of ellipse layers, and we'll be creating one of those layers as well. But for now, I'm just going to start with this jewel layer here, and I'm going to fill it with a gradient. And you do that in CS6 by pressing the A key to switch to the Arrow tool. And then you go up to the fill swatch up here in the Control panel, and then you select Gradient. I'm going to go with a Radial Gradient. I'm also going to turn off the Align with layer option, which expands the size of the gradient, and I'm going to change the Angle to 0 degrees, which expands it still farther.
Now, I want to turn on this Reverse option so that we're starting with white and going to black on the outside. I'm going to decrease the Scale value to 80%. Everything is right except for the color. So, I'll double-click on the first color swatch there in order to bring up the Color Picker dialog box, and I'm going to dial in a shade of red. It's going to have a Hue value of 10 degrees, a Saturation value of 100%, and a Brightness value of 50%. Then I'll click OK. Now I'll double-click on the second color swatch, which by default is white, and I'll change its Hue to 10 degrees as well, increase its Saturation to 100% as well, and dim down the Brightness to 75%, and then click OK.
So, we have just a slight radial gradient going on, just a little bit of darkening around the edges. Now, let's apply a heaping helping of layer effects here. I'm going to drop down to the FX icon at the bottom of the Layers panel, click on it, and choose Stroke. Now, in CS6, you can apply a stroke to a shape layer if you want to. However, you're going to get a different interaction between that stroke and the layer effect. So, we want to go with the stroke effect. I'm going to change the Size value to 20 pixels. We're going to send that guy outside the shape.
Then I'm going to click on the color swatch and dial in shade of brown, which is 35 degrees for the Hue value, 75% for Saturation, and 25% for Brightness. Then click OK. Now, let's add an Inner Shadow, and the Inner Shadow is going to be our big effect, as you'll see. It's going to make a huge difference. And we're going to use it to create a directional highlight. So, I'll click on Inner Shadow in order to select it, and I'm going to start off by specifying a color, so I'll click on the color swatch. So, I'll dial in a Hue value of 30%, Saturation of 100%, and the Brightness of 100% as well.
Then click OK. Increase the Opacity value to 100%, and it's not going to make much difference until we change the blend mode from Multiply to Screen. We end up getting this tiny, little highlight right there that's nothing even sort of like what we want. So, we need to increase the Distance and Size values. I'm going to take Distance up to 110 pixels, and I'm going to take Size up to 250 pixels. By the way, you'll note that my Global Light Angle for this document is set to -135 degrees.
Now, we want to change the contour, so I'll click the down-pointing arrowhead next to this little Contour option, and I'll select the third guy in, Cone - Inverted, and we end up getting this just glorious effect right here. Now select Inner Glow in order to make it active, and we want this glow to of course be the opposite of a glow. It wants to be a sort of dimming around the edges. So, we need to dial in a dark color by clicking on a little white color swatch, and I'm going to go with red again this time. 10 for the Hue value, 100% for the Saturation value, and 50% for the Brightness value. Click OK.
Change the blend mode from Screen to Multiply so that we're darkening things instead of brightening them. I'm going to take that Opacity value up to 100%, and then I'll tab my way down to the Size value and change it to 100 pixels. That gives us a little bit of volumetric form around this ellipse. Now, it's time for good old Bevel & Emboss, so I'll click on it up here at the top of the list, at least in CS6. I'll change the Style from Inner Bevel to Pillow Emboss. We're going to increase the Depth value to 400%, take the Size value up to 40 pixels, and I'm going to increase the Soften value to 16 pixels.
These guys are fine at an angle of -135 degrees, and an Altitude of 30 degrees. However, I need to change my color, so I'll click on the Highlight mode swatch right there, and I'll dial in an orange. So it's going to be 30 degrees for the Hue, 15% for the Saturation, and 100% for Brightness. It already was that. Fine. Click OK. Now, click on the dark color swatch here for Shadow mode. And this time, I'll take the Hue value to 35 degrees, take the Saturation value all the way up to 100%, and I'll enter a Brightness value of 25%, like so. Click OK.
Screen and Multiply are fine. The Opacity settings are fine as well. The one thing we need to change here that we haven't changed so far is Gloss Contour. It needs to instead of being just Linear, like it is by default, we want it to be set to Ring, which is the second guy in the second row. So I'll go ahead and click on him to make him active. And then finally, I'm going to change the Direction from Up to Down. That's just going to change the angle of the highlights and shadows. One more effect, and of course, it's Drop Shadow.
So go ahead and click on Drop Shadow and make it active. And I say of course because this thing needs to be casting a shadow on the marble background. And the shadow needs to have some form of color associated with it, so I'll click on the color swatch and I'll change the Hue value to 15, Saturation to 50, and then the Brightness to 15 as well. I'll increase the Opacity value to 100%, and I'm going to set the Distance to 35 pixels. I'll set the Size to 70 pixels. And if you take a look at what's going on out here, you'll see that the shadow is going in the wrong direction. We don't want that, so I'm going to turn off Use Global Light.
That's very important; otherwise, you'll mess up all the other directional effects. Then I'm going to change the Angle to 45 degrees. And finally, I'm going to increase that Spread value by clicking in it and then pressing Shift+Up Arrow until I like what I see, which happens at 40%. That's the layer effects for now. Go ahead and click OK in order to accept that total of five layer effects heaped on top of this shape layer. We need to create a layer of highlights, and I'll show you how to do that, and then we'll just add a couple of more here. I went ahead and selected from the Shape tool pop-up menu, the Ellipse tool.
And then, I created a big ellipse from here to about here. So, notice that it covers up most of the formerly red gradient ellipse. But it's a little down and to the right, because the highlight is going to be up in this region right here. Now, I want this layer to be filled with white, so I'll click on the little Fill icon up here in the Options bar, and I'll switch back to my Solid Color option and I'll go ahead and click on white. We don't want a stroke of course. What we do want to do is carve a kind of hole in this shape layer by adding another ellipse.
So, I'll go up to the Options bar, to this Path Operations icon, click on it, and choose Subtract from Shape. Then I'll drag like so, in order to subtract out this region right there. Now, I'm going to just go ahead and rename this layer highlight, because we have low light and low color here. I'm going to go ahead and give this shape layer a little bit of feathering by going up to the Window menu and choosing the Properties command. Under CS5 and earlier, you would choose Masks to bring up the Masks panel.
And then in any case, you change the Feather value, for this effect anyway, to 10 pixels in order to achieve what you see on screen right there. Now, we need to rope in this effect a little bit using a layer mask. I'll drop down to the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel, click on it, and now I'm going to switch over to the Gradient tool, which you can get by pressing the G key. Go ahead and tap the D key and then the X key in order to make the foreground color black, and you want to switch to the second style in up here in the Options bar, which is Foreground to Transparent.
Then I'm going to drag right about here. I'm pressing the Shift key as I drag to constrain the angle to exactly horizontal. Now, I'm going to create another gradient from here up to this location. As I say, that goes ahead and encloses this highlight within this region. And then finally, I want to combine this highlight layer with the jewel layer below as a clipping mask, so I'll Alt+Click or Option+Click on the horizontal line between those two layers in order to produce this effect here. We're not too far from being done with phase one of this project.
We've just got a couple of more layers here. There is one called low light, which looks like this. It's a combination of ellipses working together. If I were to click on this layer thumbnail and press the A key to switch to the Black Arrow tool, you can see that I've got one big white ellipse with three other ellipses cutting holes inside of it. I'm going to press the M key to switch away from that tool. I am going to add a little bit of feathering to this layer as well by bringing back my Properties panel. That would be the Masks panel inside of CS5 and earlier. And I'm going to increase the Feather value to 30 pixels this time around.
We need to mask the effect just a little bit. So, I'm going to add a layer mask by clicking on the Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel. Then I'm going to switch from my Rectangular Marquee tool to the Elliptical Marquee tool. I'm going to marquee, let's say roughly this area right here should work for us. I'm just trying to make sure that the ellipse is big enough down here inside of this region. I'll press Alt+Backspace or Option+Delete to fill that ellipse with black inside of the layer mask. I'll press Ctrl+D or Command+D on the Mac to deselect that area.
And with the layer mask still selected, you know what? I'll just double-click on it to bring up the Properties panel. That works in CS6. And I'll change my Feather value to 10 pixels in order to soften that transition that we just created. And then finally, this needs to be part of the clipping group as well, so I'll go ahead and Alt+Click or Option+ Click on the horizontal line between the low light layer and the highlight layer below it. Now, let's bring in low color here. I'll turn it on. Notice it's not colorful at all; it's just one ellipse cut out of another by the way.
We need to make it colorful, however, because I want to add a little bit of color to this low light. I'll press the A key to switch to that Black Arrow tool once again. Click on the fill swatch up here in the Options bar. I'll click on this icon. That indicates that we're going to bring up the Color Picker dialog box. I'll change the Hue value to 25 degrees. Then I'll increase the Saturation value to 100%. Now, click OK. We've got ourselves a shade of orange. Press the Enter key, Return key on the Mac to hide that panel. Press the M key to switch back to the Rectangular Marquee tool.
Let's do some more stuff to this guy. Let's feather him, for example, by bringing up the Properties panel; that's again the Mask panel in CS5 and earlier. And I'm going to change that Feather value to 20 pixels, so we get some softening. So far, this layer isn't making really the biggest contribution, which is why we need to assign a Blend mode to it, by clicking the word Normal in the upper-left corner of the Layers panel. And then I'm going to go ahead and choose the ultra-brightening mode of Linear Dodge (Add), and notice we get that nice yellow highlight right there.
Of course, this needs to be part of the clipping group, so I'll Alt+Click or Option+Click on that horizontal line to make it so. That way all of these highlights reside inside the jewel. Now I want to offset this bit of highlight by adding some darkness directly below it. We'll do that by applying an unconventional use of a drop shadow. I'll click on the FX icon at the bottom of the Layers panel and choose the Drop Shadow command, which is at the end of the list in CS6. It's at the beginning of the list in CS5 and earlier.
I'll dial in a color here, and that color shall be 10 for the Hue value. A Saturation value of 100% is fine. I'll crank up the Brightness value to 50%, and then I'll click OK. Now, I'm going to increase the Opacity value to 100% and change the blend mode from Multiply to Linear Burn, so we're creating more of an ultra darkening effect here. I'm going to take that Distance value up to 15 pixels, leave the Spread set to 0%, and then I'll take the Size value up to 120 pixels, like so.
Then go ahead and click OK in order to accept that effect. And you can see the difference here. Keep an eye on the screen. This is what the low color layer look like without the drop shadow. This is what it looks like with the drop shadow. And that, friends, is how you create a basic smooth round jewel using a combination of layer effects and shine layers here inside Photoshop.

A. Why FISH started
1. Emergency needs often unmet by existing
programs and agencies2. Desire of local Christian churches to cooperate in helping ministry
B. How FISH Started
1. After one year of planning, FISH telephone ministry
began May, 1980.2. Official Name: FISH VOLUNTEERS OF CAPE GIRARDEAU , INC .
a. FISH
is Greek acronym (IX0YC) for "Jesus Christ, God's Son , Savior"b. The fish was symbol used by early Christians
to identify themselves to one another in times of persecution .c. The name FISH was chosen as a symbol of Christian
caring toward those who need help.
FISH has a Board of Directors which meets bi-monthly. There is also an annual
meeting held every May.
fish symbol has a long historyBy MICHAEL HICKEY Friday, April 24, 2009 In the early
Christian community, one of the symbols that united primitive Christians was the cross of Jesus Christ. Next to that, the
ichthus, or fish symbol ranked as one of the most important in unlocking the secrets of the mystery that became Christianity.
Clement of Alexandria (150 A.D.) is the first early Christian church father to have
specifically mentioned the fish symbol as pertaining to Christian usage (The Pedagogue 3:11). He did not give an explanation
for its use, which seems to imply that the Christian community he was writing for understood the meaning of the symbol.This symbol first brought to mind in the fledgling Christian community the way Jesus shared a meal of fish with the
disciples, on the shore of the Sea of Tiberius, in Galilee, after the resurrection (John 21:11). But, it had a deeper, mysterious
and more secret meaning.The fish symbol references an acrostic, consisting of the initial letters of five Greek
words which formed the word for "fish" in the Greek: ICTYS, pronounced ICHTHYS. It contained the Greek letters Iota,
Chi, Theta, Upsilon and Sigma. To the early Christian community, this signified, "Iesous Christos, Theou Yios, Soter,"
or in the English translation of the Greek, "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior."Several representations
of the fish symbol can be found on the walls of the Catacombs. It initially enabled Christians to identify themselves to each
other in secret, because they did not want to be overheard by their persecutors when they were worshiping Christ. The fish
symbol enabled them to recognize each other without the need for verbal communication. They then, could jointly, but silently,
proclaim their profession of faith in the divinity of Jesus Christ.When a Christian met a stranger on the road,
one would draw one-half of the outline of the fish on a rock or in the dirt. If the stranger drew the other half, both Christian
believers knew that they could enjoy fellowship and freely share their secret belief in Jesus Christ.The fish
symbol was also scratched on walls or rocks to point the way to where Christians were meeting in secret, at ever-changing
locations. A similar symbol had been utilized by non-Christian Greeks at the time to mark the location of funerals, so the
Christian usage blended with that one. The church father, Tertullian, would later refer to the early Christians who were being
baptized as, "Little fishes, after the image of our Ichthys, born in water." (Baptism, Tert.1)During
the reign of the Emperor Constantine (307-337 A.D.), the persecution of Christians ceased, as he declared Christianity to
be the official religion of the state. The fish symbol seems to have disappeared after the fourth century as Christianity
spread and the secret of the "mystery fish" became more widely known to the world. It has been revitalized once
more in recent times.

A friend writes:
Friends of Israel are expressing their satisfaction with Vice President Biden's comments on Charlie Rose about the flotilla incident, and Politico is describing him as the West Wing's most fervent supporter of the Jewish state. I have a different take on this. Jewish donors all over the country have been telling Members of Congress how upset they are with Obama and with the White House. Reportedly, Jewish fundraising is way down. At the same time, in a lot of the country, candidates don't want Obama to campaign for them, affecting turnout at local mega events. How to fix these two problems? Have good old Uncle Joe be the good cop and let him both reinforce that he is a friend of the Jews (even though that is a relative concept and he did nothing when head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to move Iran sanctions forward) and be the draw for local mega events.Biden assuages Jewish concerns about Obama and strokes the donors enough to get them to write checks again while the administration changes tone but no policies. Obama doesn't get the Arab League upset, Members of Congress get the Jewish money shoveled into their accounts and in November all policy options are available to Obama to return to the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" role he feels most comfortable playing vis-à-vis Israel.

Below is the poem entitled Country Breeze which was written by poet

Read Poems by
Melanie Dickie
The piercing sound of a roosters crow
Wakes me from a sound slumber.
I quietly stumble out of bed
I walk to the bay window and glance out
Into the corn fields. What a beautiful day.
I thought as I hastily put on my clothes
A bright, sunny, warm day
I walk out on the front porch
Where mom and I had played games
The night before
The warm crisp summery breeze brushes
By me.
The sun casts its radiant light on my
Flushed cheeks
And casts its shadows on the old red barn
I catch a whiff of a sun kissed watermelon
Still on the vine.
Off in the distance I hear the dull wale of a herd of cows
Chuck our old German Shepard lazily strolls by
And settles down on a pile of hay dad had raked
Next to the house a few weeks back
Tired I suppose from chasing birds.
What a peaceful day it is out here in the country

The food here tastes like food from a youth I never had. It's home food from a home I never lived in but kinda wish I had. I've come in for brunch two times and both times the experience has been comforting and warm. I had the bean dish the first time which was the type of dish sure to revive you from any ailment or vicious hangover. The second time I had the eggs benedict which were some of the best I've had and different enough to make them memorable-- the hollandaise had some paprika in it and the bread was made in house. The bloody mary is easily the best one I've ever had with plenty of flavor and kick and garnished with a peperoncini. I can't wait to return.

Saro's a nice looking place but the service is ameteur at best. The food is good enough, but the wine pours by the glass are less than half what you'd expect. I repeatedly asked for "just a little more of a pour" and they told me I'd have to pay for it. It was rediculous. My date was so upset about "what a dumpy little place" i brought her to she broke up with me twice on the cab ride home. We recovered, but Saro won't.

In September of 2010 I purchased a MacBook Pro. Everything was going fine until about a month ago, where I booted to a prohibited sign. After that, my computer worked for a while, then it then it just stopped - so I called Apple tech and they guided my though the steps to do an OS reinstall (keeping my data) and we repaired permissions then, after that, it worked again. However, a couple of weeks later, I had the same problem, but this time it just died completely!
Now, I took it into Apple for a repair, and they fixed it, replacing my hard-drive. They said the previous one had failed. This was yesterday. I then installed everything again, and used my TimeMachine back-up to install my apps and settings and what not. It worked fine for like a day, but now I'm getting this really annoying screen that says "Your computer needs to restart". I can't do anything but turn the machine off. In addition to this, my dash-board randomly 'unexpectedly quits' and so does the Mail application. (At the time of editing this post for this site, the problems have seemed to have subsided... Its been a couple of hours now since the last issue... But I feel like posting this anyway, just incase).
Can anyone offer any advice or help before I give Apple another call?
Right, so now the specification of my computer incase thats relevant...
Its a 2010 MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor, with 6 GB RAM (2 months ago I added a 4 GB RAM Chip to make the 6) and a 500 GB Hard-drive. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 (I tried the 10.6.7 update and it just wouldn't work, it said my machine did not have the requirements to install it... Can anyone shed light on that?)
I am also having the same problem with the "Your computer needs to restart" error on my 2007 iMac (Running 10.6.7 with 4 GB RAM). Is it just me or am I doing something wrong with these beautiful machines?
I've also done several TechTool Deluxe tests on both machines and everything passes... Some people tell me the RAM is the problem, but it passes upon testing, as well as shows the status as 'OK' under the system profiler menu, plus, when Apple repaired the machine for the Hard-drive failure, they didn't say they found any other problems...
I also feel like mentioning the fact that I get electric shocks the metal parts (casing) of BOTH machines. Is that normal or am I turning into a mutant? In addition, the mag-safe adaptor of my MBP doesn't hold its light. The LED randomly goes off or dims to a point were its exceptionally hard to see. It always charges though, so maybe thats normal? - I don't know.
Thank you so much in advance.
I really don't want to call Apple again!

The "restart your computer" warning you're receiving is known as a kernel panic. It may be related to some software you're running but it's more likely a hardware issue.
The electric shocks you're getting could be caused by poor grounding of your local main circuits. Remove the MagSafe adapter from the MBP and operate off battery. Do the shocks go away?
As for the 10.6.7 update, I find it strange that it wouldn't install. Go to the Apple site and download the combined 10.6.7 update instead. Let's see if that works.

As for the electric shocks, no, it doesn't go away when it is just running on the battery. I also get this issue with my iMac and my keyboard for it. They keyboard gives me shocks regardless of which computer it is plugged into.
I've tried that update link and I get the same error as before.
As for my iMac, I have run a TecTool Deluxe which gave me a failure on the Volume Structure. I've attempted to verify the disk, and it is telling me that the volume is corrupt and needs to be repaired, so I'll do that with the install disk.
In reply to Harryb2448, my MBP is still under warranty. I've only had it about 9 months (Since September 2010). As for my iMac, that is well past its warranty, I got that in 2007.
Thanks guys for the replies!

As for the electrical shocks, I know when I have my hdmi adapter plugged into the tv, which is plugged into a cable outlet, and I also have my logitech 5.1 speakers connected to the mbp, I can feel a minute amount of electrical surge as I slide my finger across the aluminum on the mbp. I also had this on my old hp when connecting it the same way to my tv. As far as I know, it hasn't done anything bad.

Need an update utility that will allow you to update your status for multiple networks at once? FireStatus does a good job at that. It is a nice looking Firefox add-on that lets you update Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, Delicious and Identi.ca all at once. That can save you a lot of time.
Here is a little more about the add-on from the developers:
FireStatus is a Firefox extension that allows you to send status updates, notes and URL links simultaneously to multiple social networks and services, like Twitter, FaceBook and FriendFeed. It also displays updates from these services in notification popups, for a more "live" communication with your friends.
You can download it from the Firefox Add-ons website or get the latest version from their Google Code page here.
