The Demise of Photojournalism Has Been Greatly Exaggerated
Posted By John P. Chapnick On December 18, 2006 @ 6:01 am In Photojournalism | 3 Comments
It's been an incessant drumbeat in recent months: Professional photographers are going the way of the camera obscura. Crowdsourcing is the future.
In its June 2006 issue, Wired magazine defined "crowdsourcing" as "the new pool of cheap labor provided by everyday people using their spare cycles to create content, solve problems and even do corporate R & D." Wired editor Jeff Howe, who coined the term "crowdsourcing," singled out stock photographers among those who will be hurt most by the trend.
Now Dan Gillmor is hammering nails in the coffin of the professional photojournalist [2].
How can people who cover breaking news for a living begin to compete? They can't possibly be everywhere at once. They can compete only on the stories where they are physically present — and, in the immediate future, by being relatively trusted sources … Is it so sad that the professionals will have more trouble making a living this way in coming years? To them, it must be — and I have friends in the business, which makes this painful to write in some ways … The photojournalist's job may be history before long.
Andy Goetze points out some of the fallacies [3] in Gillmor's argument:
No question that the conditions have changed for the majority of photojournalists and no question that his article, as far as it refers to the phenomenon and the importance of the citizen amateur camera witness, is excellent. But at second sight, Gillmor is confusing the issue. Being only an eyewitness with a 3 or 5 MP camera phone in the hands, under literally no circumstances, is comparable to the full coverage of an event through a professional photojournalist.
Without dismissing the impact of citizen photojournalism ventures such as Scoopt [4] — which recently integrated Flickr members [5] into its business model — ultimately, there's no substitute for talent. Superior quality translates into superior value, and we don't expect that to change.

Browse our collection of frequently asked cooking questions for advice on cooking with spices and herbs.
The general rule of thumb is to convert teaspoons of dried herbs into tablespoons of fresh ones: for example, use two tablespoons of fresh basil instead of two teaspoons of dried basil. Note that fresh herbs should be added at the end of the cooking process to preserve their flavors.
Spices are pungent or aromatic seasonings obtained from the bark, buds, fruit, roots, seeds or stems of plants and trees, whereas herbs are the fragrant leaves of various annual or perennial plants that grow in temperate zones and do not have woody stems.
*Spices were prized long before recorded history. Though they've always been essential for flavoring food and drink, throughout the ages spices have been used in crowning emperors, making medicines and perfumes, in religious ceremonies and as burial accoutrements for the wealthy. More than 3,000 years ago the Arabs dominated the spice trade, bringing their rare cargo back from India and the Orient by arduous camel caravans. During the Middle Ages the demand for spices was so high that they became rich commodities--a pound of mace could buy three sheep and the same amount of peppercorns could buy freedom for a serf. By that time Venice had a tight hold on Western commerce and controlled the incredibly lucrative European spice trade. That Venetian monopoly was an important catalyst for the expeditions that resulted in the discovery of the New World. Today, the United States is the world's major spice buyer.
*Information about herbs and spices is based on The Food Lover's Companion, 2nd Edition, by Sharon Tyler Herbst, published by Barrons Educational Series Inc, August 1995.
First, submerge the fresh herbs in water, then rinse well. Blot dry with a kitchen towel, and spread out to dry. The herbs need not be completely dry to use. Once the herbs have been cleaned and dried, pick the leaves off of the stems. The leaves are now ready to be torn, chopped or used whole, tossed into a salad or pasta, or used to garnish a soup or sauce. Discard the stems or save them for flavoring soup stocks.
Smell is a good indicator. Rub a small amount between your fingers. If the spice or dried herb is not fragrant, or has only a faint smell, then it is probably time to replace it. Taste is another good test. If you find you are using a larger amount of a spice or herb than usual in your favorite recipes to get any flavor, replace it.
Store dried herbs in a cool, dark place. Dried leaves and ground spices can be stored for up to six months. Whole spices can last longer. Fresh herbs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. For storage up to 10 days (depending on the type and freshness), place the bouquet of herbs, stem end down, in a tall glass and fill with cold water. Change the water every two days to maintain freshness.

Roseate Spoonbill
Central and South America, southern coastal states in United States.
Tropical forests, bays, lakes, and ponds.
Beautiful rose-colored plumage mixed with white. Long slender legs. Spoonlike bill that widens in the front. Three long toes on the front of the foot for balance and a shorter toe in the back. Orange tail.
The spoonbill lives in colonies in tropical forest climates. Forages by swishing bill back and forth through the water, capturing invertebrates.
Nests are built on broken reeds or other marsh plants, as well as on willows, alders or other plant matter near or over water. Three to five eggs are laid in April or May. Incubation lasts 21 days. The young are cared for by both parents. Four weeks later they begin to leave the nest, and after another 4 weeks, they are able to fly. The young are born with the characteristic spoon-like bill.

mentation. The Technical Working Group for Fire and Explosives (TWGFEX), a group of fire debris and explosives examiners, suggests that an explosives examiner be required to possess a bachelor's degree in a natural or applied science, with recommended coursework in chemistry and instrumental analysis.112 The group also recommends that the examiner complete a training program that includes the analysis of low and high explosives, instruction in the use of instrumentation used in routine analyses, the construction of explosive devices, and participation in a postblast investigation course. Although there is no official certification program for explosives examiners, TWGFEX has devised a suggested training guide. The guide is divided into seven modules, each with a reading list, practical exercises, and methods of evaluation.113 To ensure that examiners maintain a level of competency, proficiency testing (internal or external) is required by ASCLD/LAB once per calendar year.114
The ultimate goal of an explosives examination is the identification of the explosive material used, whether it is through the analysis of an intact material or of the residue left behind when the material explodes. Intact material lends itself to being more easily identified. The individual components of postblast residue may often be identified (e.g., potassium chloride and potassium sulfate). The training and experience of examiners allows them to deduce what types of explosive material were originally present from possible combinations of explosive materials.
Whether it is a low explosive or high explosive, the analysis of an intact explosive material follows a procedure that begins with a macroscopic and microscopic examination of the material, followed by a burn test, when appropriate. The results of the initial observations will dictate how the rest of the analysis will proceed. Typically it will involve the use of instrumentation that provides both elemental and structural information about the material, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray analysis, or infrared spectroscopy. TWGFEX has devised guidelines for the analysis of intact explosives that categorize the instruments that can be used based on the level of information they provide.115 The information gathered, if sufficient, can be useful in identifying the material.
The analysis of postblast explosive residues begins much like the analy-

Dead to the World
by Charlaine Harris
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Without posting spoilers, I'll say that this book was very enjoyable and it was interesting to see a new dynamic explored between Sookie and Eric. As a True Blood viewer I saw the ending coming from a mile away, but was still surprised at the different twist the book had. So far this series has been fun to read and I'm looking forward to book #5.
Is probably the most funny book that I had read from the series. In this book the constant is the improbability and I laugh here as I did not with the other books. Is not only funny but it may be the best book of the series, I most admit that Eric still the show with his amnesia and despite several important plots that are quite dramatic here I most admit that the book made me laugh a lot.
omg I'm going to read all of these aren't I
Bill is off to Peru for most of this book, to which I say, "Good riddance!!" Sookie has way more interesting dudes in her life, not the least of which is Eric. He's lost his memory, and Sookie has to hide him from some evil witches. Not-Eric Eric is way sexier than arrogant, conceited, imperious Eric, so Sookie gets to indulge her desire for him, to which I say "Hooray!!"
Also, Sookie's brother, Jason is missing. This may or may not be related to the evil witch thing.
I followed up the Twilight series with the Sookie Stackhouse series. A good, soft transition into more paranormal romance. Too much hype for Charlaine Harris's books because of the HBO series than deserved. The HBO series is fine; the books are fine, but the plot/mystery of each book is simple. Very quick read -- straightforward plot with friendly characters that are easy to like. If you enjoy paranormal, you will probably enjoy this series, but there truly are more gripping, non-plain vanilla paranormal series out there (both in terms of adult scenes and dynamic realtionships between various beings in the paranormal realm). My 4-star rating is based on my thoughts just after reading, but would probably garner only 3-stars after having read Alexancer Ivy, Jacqueline Frank and Gena Showalter. I stopped reading this series after the 9th book...

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0441012183, Mass Market Paperback)From Emma Bull's War for the Oaks to Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series, from The X-Files to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, creators are mixing old European myths and legends with modern American pop culture. Incorporating influences ranging from blaxploitation movies and erotic novels to tabloid staples like UFOs and Elvis, authors and directors are creating a new mythology for the strip-mall, tract-house, cell-phone America of the new millennium.
One of the best-known and best writers of the new American mythology is Charlaine Harris. Dead to the World is the fourth novel in her Anthony Award-winning Southern Vampire series. It continues the story of psychic waitress Sookie Stackhouse, who has fallen out with her undead lover, Bill. Bill has no sooner departed for Peru, than Sookie finds the head vampire, Eric, running naked and terrified through the rural night. She helps Eric, and discovers his memory has been destroyed by a coven of unscrupulous, astonishingly powerful witches, newly arrived in her small Louisiana town, and offering a huge reward for Eric. Sookie tries to hide Eric, but her brother sees him--and immediately disappears. And Sookie finds herself caught in a war among witches, vampires, and werewolves. --Cynthia Ward
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:18:21 -0400)
When cocktail waitress Sookie Stackhouse sees a naked man on the side of the road, turns out he doesn't remember who he is. But it's Eric the vampire, who's now a kindler, gentler vampire. He's also scared because whoever took his memory now wants his life.… (more)

by CHRIS GRAYThe Macomb Orchard Trail has been named the July 2014 Trail of the Month by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.
Observer Staff Writer
The non-profit organization, based in Washington, D.C., has the goal of creating a network of trails around the nation from former rail lines. Part of that mission includes shining the spotlight on a different trail each month, and toward the beginning of July, the local 23.5 mile non-motorized trail was selected.
The trail, established in 2011, snakes its way from Dequindre Road in Shelby Township to Division Road in downtown Richmond. The trail was formerly the Canadian National Railroad.
Laura Stark, who wrote why the trail was chosen for the conservancy's website, said the trail's unique rural features nod to the county's agricultural heritage, helping lead to its "unmitigated success."
"About 30 miles north of Detroit, Mich., the rail-trail is pure rural Americana, a paved ribbon winding through rolling farm fields, vivid green tree canopies and friendly Midwestern towns," she wrote.
County Executive Mark Hackel said the trail provides a "quality of life" aspect to the area. He said the trail will eventually help create a 70-mile loop around the county that connects with the trail on Metropolitan Parkway.
"I think this will create interest for somebody as a destination to go to, to see it for themselves first-hand," he said.
Hackel said the trail may even become an asset for homeowners, saying it could be a desired feature for people looking to move into the county.
"You find people that are really into biking and hiking and running, and they tend to look throughout the region for a place to go," he said.
The trail has been on the minds of residents following the homicide case of April Millsap, 14, of Armada, whose body was found just off of the trail on July 24 in the Village of Armada. Police are still seeking information on leads that could help solve the case.
County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said outside of the recent homicide, there have been few trail-related incidents or crimes.
"I think this (Millsap's case) was an isolated incident," he said. "Once the Armada and Michigan State Police determine what transpired we'll have a better understanding of what occurred."
In the meantime, he said his department's reserve bike unit has beefed up its patrols on the trail ever since the Millsap tragedy.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. ---
The Cal State Northridge softball team (6-13) defeated New Mexico State 4-3 and lost 4-2 to UNLV Friday in its opening games at the UNLV Eller Media Stadium Tournament in Las Vegas, Nev. The Matadors overcame six errors and rallied from a 3-1 deficit entering the fifth inning to defeat the Aggies. Against the host Rebels, UNLV jumped out to an early 3-0 lead and withstood a late CSUN rally.
New Mexico State Recap
Looking to get its weekend started strongly, the Matadors came from behind Friday to dispose of the Aggies. CSUN jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning after an RBI single by Abby Linn.
The Aggies answered with three runs, two of which were unearned, off Northridge starter Mia Pagano (2-4) in the third and fourth inning.
Undeterred, the Matadors answered with three runs in the top of the fifth to take the lead for good. With one out, Korinne Randazzo reached base on a bunt single and then moved to second when Leann Lopez drew a walk.
The two then executed a double steal to move into scoring position. Crystal Maas brought Randazzo home with an RBI ground out and Mikayla Thielges was hit by a pitch to put the go-ahead run on base.
Sydney Housethen hit a grounder to the second baseman that was mishandled, allowing Lopez to score and Thielges to move to third. Maylynn Mitchellthen brought home the winning run with an RBI single to centerfield.
Pagano worked her way out of a jam in the fifth and set down the side in order in the sixth and seventh inning. She finished with one earned run and four walks and four strikeouts to earn her second win of the season.
Mitchell went 2-for-2 at the plate with the RBI and a run scored. Lopez, Randazzo and Madalyne Handyeach had stolen bases for CSUN while House added a sac bunt.
UNLV Recap
In their second game of the day, the Matadors fell behind 3-0 when the Rebels tagged CSUN starter Shelly Tait for three earned runs in the first.
CSUN kept at it and eventually cut the lead to 3-2. In the top of the fourth, Sydney House singled to start the inning and moved to second on a sac bunt by Maylynn Mitchell. She then came around to score on an RBI double by Ariana Wassmer.
In the fifth, Northridge tacked on another run. With two outs in the frame, Crystal Maas came around to score from second on an RBI double by House. That hit made it a one-run game.
However, the Rebels pushed the lead back to two with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth.
The Matadors made one last effort at tying the game in the seventh, putting the lead off runner on base with a single. However, with one out and a runner on third, the Matadors could not push the run across the plate.
In all, Tait (3-4) tossed six innings and allowed four earned runs to go with three strikeouts. With the RBI, House tied Mikayla Thielges for the team lead with nine on the season. Korinne Randazzo stole her team-leading fifth base of the season in the defeat.
CSUN resumes action in Las Vegas on Saturday, Mar. 2 with games against Weber State and DePaul.

Pomona College Prof. Arden Reed Receives Guggenheim Fellowship
Arden Reed, the Arthur M. Dole and Fanny M. Dole Professor of English at Pomona College, has received a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, for $38,000. The prestigious Fellowships are awarded to those who have demonstrated exceptional capacity for productive scholarship or exceptional creative ability in the arts and show exceptional promise for future accomplishment.
What distinguishes the Guggenheim Fellowship program is the diversity of fellows selected from in 78 different fields, from the natural sciences to the creative arts. Past Fellows include scores of Nobel, Pulitzer, and other prize winners. Among them are Ansel Adams, Aaron Copland, Martha Graham, Langston Hughes, Henry Kissinger, Vladimir Nabokov, Isamu Noguchi, Linus Pauling, Philip Roth, Paul Samuelson, Wendy Wasserstein, Derek Walcott, James Watson, and Eudora Welty.
Reed, whose recent research has focused on issues relating to art and attentiveness, will use the grant to pursue his research on tableaux vivants, the old parlor game in which participants imitate famous works of art. In Southern California, Laguna's annual Pageant of the Masters is the most well-known.
"The ultimate stakes of my study," explains Reed, "are the matters of concentration, distraction and attentiveness… My [early] research has led to the surprising discovery that the great age of tableaux vivants is not the 19th century as scholars have assumed, but right now. So why, my study asks, are we fascinated to watch people stand still? And what larger cultural implications might this seemingly marginal art form hold? Tableaux vivants turn out to be an unlikely but efficient way to raise the deep questions that animate the book I am preparing, Slow Art: From Tableaux Vivants to James Turrell. The fellowship will allow him to conduct research in Paris, London, Berlin, New York, Flagstaff and Vancouver.
Reed's expertise ranges from English romantic literature and 19th century French culture to contemporary art and image/text relations. He is the author of Constance DeJong: Metal (University of New Mexico Press, 2003) and Manet, Flaubert, and the Emergence of Modernism (The New Art History Series edition, Cambridge University Press, 2003) as well as numerous articles in professional journals.
A member of the Pomona College faculty since 1979, Reed teaches the courses Literature of the Romantic Period; Nature of Narrative in Fiction and Film; Reading Images; Queer Theories, Gay Fictions; Wordsworth & Proust: Advanced Seminar; and the art history course Manet, Degas, Cezanne. He earned his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University and his B.A. from Wesleyan University.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A historic hotel with celebrity cachet and a gorgeous full-service spa
Britannia Hotel has seen its fair share of notable guests over the years, including British royals, Norwegian royals, the Japanese Emperor, and various entertainers who come to Trondheim for concerts (such as Jay-Z and Beyonce.)
The common areas impress with their historic character, from the wood-paneled Lobby Bar to the grand Palmhaven, with its fountain, palm trees, and glass roof. Jonathan Food Food & Wine Cellar is a local hot spot, and is known for its signature Jonathan Cellar Beef, cooked at the table on a hot stone. Even the meeting rooms are beautiful, and include a banquet hall with crystal chandeliers and an elegant room where the Norwegian king has dinner when he's in town.
The spa, however, is arguably the hotel's biggest highlight. It's one of only a handful of full-service hotel spas in Norway, and has a Roman bath, Jacuzzi under a faux starlit ceiling, steam room, saunas, relaxation lounge with headphones, ice fountain with Swarovski crystal backdrop, and a unique cocoon room where guests can relax in cocoon-shaped chair suspended from the ceiling. Best of all, hotel guests get free access to its facilities.
Central location near shopping on Nordre gate
Britannia hotel has an excellent central location near the popular thoroughfare of Nordre gate, a main shopping street. It's also within walking distance of an airport bus stop and the Bakklandet area.
Trondheim is a historic city -- it was founded in 997 A.D. -- but one might not guess it upon first glance. Fires have ravaged the city regularly over the years, and today, many of the buildings are modern, though cobblestones on some of the oldest streets and the iconic Nidaros Cathedral -- its spire is the most prominent feature of the city skyline -- give some sense of its true age. To feel immersed in the city's history, visitors should head to the Old Town Bridge, which faces a colorful row of wharves (some of which date back to the 18th century), and the Bakklandet area, a revitalized shopping and cafe hub with charming wooden buildings that were once worker's houses.
Trondheim also has numerous cultural attractions. It's a university city (one in six residents is a student) with a lively nightlife scene, and there are many musical performances and festivals held here. Though this is the third largest city in Norway, the downtown area is compact and easy to explore on foot.
The Britannia Hotel is Trondheim's grande dame. This historic luxury property (opened in 1897) has hosted royalty, celebrities, and diplomats over the years, and today continues to be one of the city's most prestigious options. Its rooms have traditional decor (most have plaid fabrics and wood furniture), and though they're not the most luxurious in town, the hotel's real draws are its historic character, impressive restaurants, and most notably, full-service spa -- one of the only hotel spas in Norway.

When Toby Alfred was applying to college, her mother told her, "You figure out the best place you can get into and I'll figure out a way to pay for it." In retrospect, she says, that was "a tremendous gift."
Neither of her parents were college graduates; her mother was a bookkeeper; her father worked as an office manager and money was tight. Alfred got a scholarship to Carnegie Mellon and took out loans to pay for her MBA from the University of Chicago.
These credentials served her well. Today she is a high-level executive at Progressive Direct Insurance in Cleveland, where more than 6,000 people report to her and she reports directly to the company president.

Having Issues with Skyrim? Try taking these steps.
I am hearing that the PS3 version of Skyrim is have serious playability issues when the save file reaches a certain size. Well, if this is in fact the same issue that Fallout 3 and New Vegas has then there are some things you can try to improve your experience. I can confirm that these steps worked on FO3 and NV, but I cannot test them out on Skyrim, as I am using the PC version. Maybe some people can try them out and post their results.
Tricks of the trade:
1. When loading your game, do not use Continue. Instead, use Load and pick the specific file to load from.
2. Do not continually overwrite the same save file. On occasion save to a brand new slot and then delete the old file.
3. Turn of the Autosave. This will require you to have presence of mind to manually save frequently.
4. Delete your Game Data (NOT SAVED DATA). If you should be get to a point where your game is unplayable, due to lagging and/or freezing, go into your Game Data Utility folder in the XMB, delete the Skyrim Game Data file and then restart the game. Unfortunately this will require you to redownload the patch, but it should seriously help out your game's playability for a while.
5. Save, quit, then load. To fix lagging issues, save your current game, quit to the main menu and then load your game. This often works well.
6. Don't be a hoarder!!! I hate to say this, because it is contrary to my nature, but the more stuff you take from the world and put into a chest, the larger your file will grow. If you can help it, take only what you intent to sell or use.
7. Buy a Gaming PC and play the PC version. (Sorry, I couldn't resist. However, it is true. I have dealt with Bethesda's issues for years on the PS3. Ever since moving on to the PC, I have experienced only minor issues. Es muy bueno.)
I really hope that these steps will help out some people. Skyrim is such an amazing game and I realize what torture these issues can be. Maybe these tricks can hold you over until Bethesda's next patch.
Good luck.
Re: Having Issues with Skyrim? Try taking these steps.
6. Don't be a hoarder!!!
I'm guilty of this. I'd say between my two homes I have more than 1000+ objects.
My save file is now an astounding 12mb and growing. It hasn't been too bad... 92 hours played and only one freeze. I do get the frame drops, but not the texture issues. I follow pretty much all those steps. I also quite to the xmb every two hours or so and let the PS3 idle for a bit.
Re: Having Issues with Skyrim? Try taking these steps.
Thanks for those tips. I wouldn't have thought about deleting the game data, but I can understand how that might help. Unfortunately, I think I might wind up skipping steps one through six and jumping right to step seven, which is so, so disappointing. I'm level 40 right now. Right around level 20-25-ish, some random fugative with no clothes on ran up to me and gave me a sword that banishes daedra and said if I ratted on him he'd kill me. Then right after that, some other dude came up to me and asked me if I saw anybody. I had three options: "No (lie)", "Yeah, he ran that way", or "I guess this sword is yours then?". I chose the second option, and the guy ran off and killed the fugitive. I disenchanted the sword and got the Banish spell. When you enchant a simple iron dagger with it (extremely cheap to buy or make) with even just a petty gem (extremely cheap to buy/easy to find) it turns the dagger into a highly expensive item I can sell for over $1,000 a piece. Money problems SOLVED for the rest of the game. This was a random event, cuz with one of my other characters that I only played a few levels on, the same thing happened, but the fugutive only gave me some crappo sword not worth anything. So, if I have to start all over again on the PC version, not only do I lose all the time I spent into making the most awesome wood elf ever (enchantment skill maxed out to 100, smithing maxed out to 100, Archer Skill maxed out at 100, uber-powerful armor and deadly bows - can kill most things in one to two shots and can withstand dragons breathing fire/ice/whatever on me without needing to heal), but I'll also probably never get that Banish spell as early as I did. So disappointing But the game is pretty much unplayable for me now due to serious lag issues and glitches. Right about level 39 was when I started experiencing lag issues. Now the game is completely unplayable. Walking through a town, past a bunch of NPCs becomes EXTREMELY choppy and takes forever. Walking around past mountains and trees and the oh so many wolves that attack you is also very slow and choppy. Also, a new glitch that has started happening ever since level 39: When I go to loot a dead body I've killed, instead of inpecting it for loot, the body will levitate and stay attached to my character. If I walk forward, left or right, the body will move forward, left or right with me in the air in front of me. The only way to get it to stop is to slam a body into a wall and it immediately falls to the floor. Then if I try to loot it again, it'll work correctly the second time. This also happens with most items I try to pick up or steal off the floor or a shelf -- it'll just float in front of me until I ram it into a wall. I'm slowly starting to realize that I'm either gonna have to delete files and reload patches every time I play this and hope it has some effect, or just break down and go buy the PC version and start all over again. So sad So if you read this and you're thinking about buying Skyrim on PS3 -- Don't. At least not until Bethesda releases another patch or two and the gaming world universally agrees that the problems are fixed -- which likely won't happen
Re: Having Issues with Skyrim? Try taking these steps.
still haveing same problems still freezing after 15 mins of playing only a handfull of items in one house in whiterun deleted save files and patch dowloaded 4 times now book cases still not working wtf?

If anyone does this, make sure you save a lot. It would have been nice to know that when you die, you go back to your previous save point. I played for a couple hours, finished quests and did other things. I died and now I have to do it over...
Re: Having Issues with Skyrim? Try taking these steps.
Try deleting the Game Data (not saved data). If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what to tell you. Freezing while loading trophies seems to me like it may be a PS3 issue and not necessarily the game itself.
Has this happened ever since you got the game or have you been able to play at all?

When Jay-Z rapped "MJ at Summer Jam, Obama on the text" on "On to the Next One," he wasn't really joking. He really does have it like that. Recently the rapper slash mogul told CNN's Poppy Harlow he agreed with President Obama's decision to affirm his belief that same-sex couples should be able to marry. When asked about homosexuals not being able to marry he said, "I've always thought [of] it as something that's still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes is their business," he added. "It's no different than discriminating against blacks. It's discrimination, plain and simple."
In the thick of election season Obama announced his support of same-sex couples having the legal right to marry. His announcement has drawn criticism from both the right and left. As someone who heavily backed Obama in 2008, Hova made it clear he still has the president's back. Although the criticism has been loud, Jay-Z said it's not about gaining or losing votes, it's the right thing to do. "It's really not about votes, it's about people," he said. "Whether it cost him votes or not I think it's the right thing to do, as a human being." POW! Jay may have professed his support of the President and gay rights, but according to CNN.com he had nothing to say about Mitt Romney saying he didn't want to "talk about the man."
Yesterday Jay-Z announced the Budweiser Made In America festival he will be curating and headlining in Philadelphia. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, next week we will learn of the lineup he's selected. Fatherhood looks mighty swell on Hov.

Jessica Albers at the Queen City Invitational
Oct. 5, 2013
Paul Short Invitational Results
LEHIGH, Pa. - This morning, the men's and women's cross country teams raced in the Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh University, where the women's unit finished in the top 25 against a loaded field of nationally-ranked schools with Clare Fischer and Jessica Albers turning in personal bests.
Fischer (#27, 21:05) and Albers (#56, 21:27) who bolstered career performances led the way for the team through the tough conditions.
Head Coach Orner said, "Despite the heat, Clare Fischer and Jessica Albers turned in two of the best performances of their careers. Both set personal records as well as moved up on the all-time Xavier record list in the 6K. Clare is now 3rd all-time and Jessica is now 5th all-time."
The team finished 22nd overall with Abby Fischer (#100, 21:52), junior Audrey Ramos (22:32) and sophomore Sarah Mazzei (23:11) rounding out the teams' top five.
Finishing at the top of the men's team was senior Keith Schenkel who finished with a time of 26:29. Right behind Schenkel were freshman Aaron Peterson (26:46), junior Corey Zielinski (26:47) and freshmen Carter Macey (26:51) and Grant Parrelli (27:04).
"The men's team saw some improvements from their performance at Notre Dame but again fell short of having the finishing times needed to complete in the race we were in." said Orner. "We look forward to having a healthy squad by the BIG EAST Championship."
The Musketeers look for strong performances in their next meet as they travel to Terre Haute, Ind. for the Pre-Nationals. The meet takes place at Indiana State University Saturday, October 19 at 11:00 a.m.

By mark from USA on 2008-02-10 22:03:03Things I liked:The weight and size of the gun are just right. Its a fun rifle and the lever action works flawlessly. The accuracy was impressive with iron sights.
Things I would have changed:I removed the hood on the front sight to keep yhe look of the rifle more like the original. The flip out loading port is blued steel and would have looked much nicer in the gold finish. The stagecoach picture is cheesy looking. I would have preffered a plain finish
What others should know: When tightening the CO2 cylinders there is no sound when they are pierced, so be carefull not to overtighten

By Chris from USA on 2008-01-03 17:31:45Things I liked:This rifle is a well made replica that definatley fulfills the shooters inner John wayne. The fit and finish on most all of the parts is great, the wood finish is superb and the gold finish and horse and coach detailing really make this rifle stand out from the rest. The accuracy was excellent using only the stock iron sites and I was consistantly able to hit targets smaller than soda cans at 30+ yards The 8 round clips where easy to use and the lever action of the rifle worked just as one would imagine (well).
Things I would have changed:The lever itself felt a little flimsy and had some side to side slop that served as an anoyance when you took the time to enjoy the novelty of the lever action. Theco2 powerlet assembly was also a bit confusing at first and i couldnthelp but feel like it was an overdesigned feature. A simple one cartridge powersource would have easily sufficed rendering the complicated assembly unnecasary. I also noticed that many times when I would fire I would feel excess co2 blowing up through the top of the clip chamber into my face. This was merely anoying but did tell me that the pellet chamber did not seal so not all of the potential gas was being used to fire the pellet. Aside from the above mentioned quirks I really have no complaints and am overall satisfied with this purchase.
What others should know:This is a great young gun shooter because of the low velocity and good sites and accuracy. The powerlet assembly is a little complicated until you completley understand how it works but overall the rifle is pleasing and enjoyable to use.

VIDEO: Lifesize Autobot Bumblebee Assembled for Chicago Auto Show
5.2-meter robot will be on display for public days of the show.
Sure, it would have been fun to watch the Autobot Bumblebee zoom into McCormick Place in Chicago in Chevy Camaro form, spin out and transform into his robot mode right there on the show floor. Alas, Hollywood (and special effects) don't quite work that way, and so Bumblebee's 5.2-meter form is just a fancy statue. It's still pretty cool, but as this time-lapse video shows, the transformation process takes a bit longer than it does in the movie.
Viewed up close, the Autobot replica is still pretty impressive, with various automobile components including the Camaro's taillights, brake rotors and body panels visible as integral parts of Bumblebee. The version on display is from the first movie; for the sequel, Bumblebee's a bit more bulked up, and his Camaro form is based on the production Camaro rather than the prototype. The minor design differences have been worked into the story of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Giant movie robot also on display with vehicles used in the upcoming blockbuster summer film
Visitors to the Chevrolet display at this year's Chicago Auto Show (Friday through Feb. 22) will be treated to an out-of-this-world vehicle display – the automotive stars from the upcoming DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures release, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen."
Five Chevrolet-based characters – including four all-new characters – are featured in the new film set to open in the United States on June 26. All of them are at the Chevrolet display. The four new movie characters include:
SIDESWIPE – a stylized Corvette vision concept vehicle
SKIDS and MUDFLAP – twin AUTOBOTS® based on Chevy's Beat (a concept that will go into production as the Chevy Spark in 2011) and Trax concepts
JOLT – an AUTOBOT-based on Chevy's upcoming Volt extended-range electric vehicle
BUMBLEBEE™, the heroic AUTOBOT based on Chevrolet's Camaro concept from the first "Transformers" movie, returns with a high-performance attitude. Joining the vehicles on stage will be BUMBLEBEE in his AUTOBOT form, standing almost 17 feet (5.2 meters) tall and 13 feet (4 meters) wide.
"Chevrolet is thrilled to again be part of one of the most anticipated movies in years," said Ed Peper, GM North America vice president, Chevrolet. "'Transformers' gives us a great opportunity to connect with young people on their terms, with a dynamic, environmentally friendly image. The new characters represent the change going on in Chevy showrooms. From the exciting Camaro, the 21st century sports car, to the game-changing Volt, there's more than meets the eye at Chevrolet today."
Directed by Michael Bay, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" sees the AUTOBOTS confront a new threat from DECEPTICONS® bent on avenging their earlier defeat on Earth. The new AUTOBOT characters in their current Chevy-based form square off against new, tougher foes determined to rule the universe.
"'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' goes way beyond the first film in terms of robot action and excitement," said LeeAnne Stables, executive vice president of worldwide marketing partnerships at Paramount Pictures, the distributor of the film. "The new AUTOBOTS add to the storytelling, and these Chevy vehicles went with our filmmakers to locations all around the world. GM has again provided incredible support to the production team working on the movie."
Along with the Camaro that's reprising its role in the new film, the other Chevy models to be seen on the big screen are new to movie-goers.
SIDESWIPE takes the form of a sleek, vision concept dreamed up by the Corvette designers at GM. The design is influenced by the original Stingray race car, introduced in 1959, but also draws on Corvette heritage cues from other generations. It brings them together in a futuristic shape that seems to be equal parts racecar and space ship.
"SIDESWIPE represents an exercise in exploration for the Corvette," said Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design. "By giving my creative team the freedom to design no-holds-barred vision concepts, it helps them push boundaries and look at projects from different perspectives."
The Beat and Trax-based characters, SKIDS and MUDFLAP, remain faithful to their concept designs introduced at the 2007 New York Auto Show – although each wears new paint and other exterior accessories. And while they may be small cars, when they turn into fighting AUTOBOTS®, they pack a big punch.
The other new AUTOBOT, JOLT, appears in the production form of Chevy's 2011 Volt extended-range electric vehicle. With the capability of up to 40 miles (64 km) of pure electric propulsion, plus hundreds of more miles with the assistance from its Voltec powertrain system, the real-life Volt will change driving in America.
Of course, the AUTOBOT team isn't complete without BUMBLEBEE, the yellow Camaro based on the new, 2010 production model. Sporting new wheels and SS-model performance cues, BUMBLEBEE is more stylish and powerful than ever – and enthusiasts will be able to drive their own new Camaro when it goes on sale this spring.

How to Focus on School Work
A lot of people may find it hard to focus on their Schoolwork, admittedly and supposedly with good reason; after all, who wants to think about school? But it's a necessary evil, so if you're having trouble with it, read this article!
1Do homework. It'll help you to keep up with other students in your class and give you something to keep your brain working. Try to list the homework that you need to do. You might even enjoy your homework; some teachers put in more effort to set fun things such as posters, models, etc.Ad
2Put homework and revision first. It's really hard to do, but it'll work out better in the long run. This does not mean you have to stay indoors all the time working on homework, though. It means do your homework as soon as possible, then do whatever you like for a while, then revise if you need to.
3Join academic-themed clubs. These could be debate clubs, school newspapers, etc. Also, try something artistic/musical-it's been scientifically proven that doing things like this can raise your grades in things such as Maths and English. You could go for music classes, and if you're confident, you could go for the school band!
4Strive to be at the top. Make it into a goal, and try to achieve it! You will focus more to reach this target.
5Be organized. It's hard to focus on what you're being taught when you're scrabbling for a pen in your bag.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Do your homework in small, frequent blocks, say up to an hour at a time.
- If a friend tries to talk to you during class, tell him that you are having trouble with this particular subject and need to concentrate. Ask him to talk later if it is not important.
- Don't put too much pressure on yourself; it's okay to take a short break once in a while.
- Don't totally write your friends off!

Re: New pedal from Malleus.
I'm glad you re-loaded this thread Andy, this new pedal design sounds very interesting indeed, it features some innovations that I haven't seen on any other pedals, although I'm not a specialist on pedals.
I like the fact that every single parameter can be adjusted, but I would be very tempted to try the beater position in relation to speed and/or power, although very often, once you dial in a setting that suits your playing, you hardly change it, but it's nice to be able to have all variations at hands to do so.
The U clip on the bass drum hoop is a clever design IMO, not only it allows for fast setup and take down, you can adjust slightly the angle, and every time you setup the kit the pedal is exactly in the same position, you only mount the U clamp once too, therefore reducing wear and tear of the BD hoop, clever.
Here's a couple videos I found on this new pedal, it's well explained and worth a look for those interested :)

Hosepipe ban to be lifted tomorrow
Posted: June 13, 2012|
THE hosepipe ban affecting North East Lincolnshire will be lifted tomorrow.
A spokesman for Anglian Water said the exceptionally heavy rainfall since April had largely refilled reservoirs hit by the two-year-long drought and that many groundwater aquifers had also begun to recover from a record low.
However, he warned that aquifer levels – which account for almost half of the water supplied by the firm – were still relatively low and urged customers to continue to use water wisely.
Paul Valleley, Anglian Water's Director of Water Services, said: "I am delighted that we are able to make this announcement. It was never our intention to keep these restrictions in place a moment longer than necessary."
