It's getting warmer which means a rescheduling of most of my photoshoots from morning to early evening. That's especially true with headshots because I don't like to see (or, rather, photoshop) out beads of sweat and sweaty matted hair in photos. Something that I'm certain my clients appreciate.
The photo above is of a NYC actress named Kelley Bradshaw. She was in town for AIDA, and while she was performing she took a day to enjoy Savannah, Lady and Sons, and snap a few shots. I've had quite a few actors from out of state come to me lately, which is a joy. It's nice for them to have photos in such a great and scenic city like Savannah.
My wedding season is about to start as well, just after I get back from being the Maid of Honor at my best friend's wedding in northeast Texas. Though I'm not the hired photographer, I'm given special permission to document the day as I see fit. Yeah, I'm gonna be the person that I usually hate at weddings. As soon as I'm done with the wedding, I'll be jet-setting to Amarillo for at least one maternity shoot, and possibly a few family shoots. And after 4 days of that, I'll be back in Savannah, gearing up for a June 5th wedding with my assistant Jonathan (who, might I add, is also an assistant to Paula Deen herself!).
New news on the website front: I'll be adding a shopping cart to my website in the next few weeks, so those of you who have wanted to proof and purchase pictures will be able to simply and easily do it from your own desktop!! It won't be retroactive, though, only for photoshoots beginning in June. Still, be on the lookout.

Claude Monet (French, 1840-1926)
oil on fabric, Framed - h:65.40 w:106.68 d:10.50 cm (h:25 11/16 w:42 d:4 1/8 inches)
Unframed - h:59.94 w:81.28 cm (h:23 9/16 w:32 inches). Gift of Mrs. Henry White Cannon 1947.196
This is one of several views Monet painted of the cliffs and sand flats of Pourville, a small fishing village on the Normandy coast of France. The title indicates a momentary stage in the continuous cycle of nature, just as the quick, spontaneous application of paint reflects Monet's efforts to capture shifting effects of light, weather, and tide. The paint layers under the beach indicate that this part of the composition originally depicted water, as would have been appropriate for a depiction of high rather than low tide. Similar changes were made in the clouds during the painting process.

NEWBY, TEXAS. Newby is near the intersection of Farm roads 1512 and 1469, on the Burlington Northern line two miles west of Jewett in northwestern Leon County. It was established in 1907 as a station on the Trinity and Brazos Valley Railway. T. Brad Robinson opened a store in the community about 1910, and when Newby was granted a post office in 1913, he served as the first postmaster. The town reported a population of 100 in 1925 and had three businesses in 1931. In 1940 Newby consisted of a church, five businesses, and scattered dwellings. Its post office closed in 1954. The population of Newby was estimated at forty from 1949 through 2000.

We were grabbing a few near by puzzles, and this was one on our list. We really enjoyed this puzzle and learning about Alvin H. Weitcamp. As we were walking to the coordinates, we saw a family sledding down the hill. It made me wish I brought my sled. When we arrived at the coordinates, I walked past the cache, but she spotted right away.

The Republican River Restoration Partnership became a high priority for Council members with several meetings and planning sessions which were held in northwest Kansas, as well as in southwest Nebraska. Northwest Kansas Conservation and Environmental Alliance successfully completed their fourth year of educating fourth graders with the Conservation Round-Up. Over 290 students/teachers attended the Conservation Round-Up during April of 2010. They also sponsored a "Women in Denim" event for the wives of their landowners. The "Women in Denim" program was a great success with over 65 participants.
Council members revised and adopted a new loan program. This resulted in an additional loan being funded by the Western Prairie RC&D. Planning and grant writing assistance was provided for a new complex, which now houses a new senior center, theater, bowling alley, and youth recreation center. This new complex was built at Oberlin, Kansas. Western Prairie RC&D provided planning assistance and actual labor for a green home project in Goodland, Kansas. The project involved college-aged students who completely remodeled a donated house as part of their school class curriculum. The house will later be sold to support future class projects.
It is clear that with the assistance of the Western Prairie RC&D, its council members, and other related groups, many worthwhile projects were accomplished throughout FY 2010.
Natural Resources Conservation Service Employee Award
Edwards County has worked very hard in the last seven years to build a successful recycling program. Greg Henderson could be counted on for assistance and project ideas.
One of those projects was "Bikes for Kids." The county's recycling center was used as a drop off for all unwanted bikes. For the past five years, Greg has brought his farm trailer to Kinsley to assist with bike collection and transports bikes to the Ellsworth Correctional Facility where they are repaired and ultimately, reused. He retrieves the refurbished bicycles and brings them back to Kinsley to be distributed to the children in Edwards County.
Greg enjoys being on-site when bikes are distributed. The joy that is generated from receiving a bike is a wonderful reward for the volunteer hours Greg donates to this project.

National Association of Conservation Districts/Natural Resources Conservation Service Award
Thomas County Conservation District/Colby Field Office, Colby, Kansas
During Fiscal Year (FY) 2010, members of the Thomas County Conservation District (CD) Board, Mr. Blake Potter, and various other volunteers have assisted the Thomas County CD and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).
The Thomas County CD, together with NRCS employees and volunteers attended the Kansas Association of Conservation Districts (KACD) Convention to become better informed about conservation issues in the nation and state; organized and helped with a local KACD workshop to train local CDs about changes in the national and state cost-share programs; judged conservation posters for the local annual meeting; organized and facilitated the Thomas County CDs Annual Meeting; organized and participated in a Kid's Conservation Roundup; moved grass drills and provided maintenance to those drills to help in accommodating producers and providing for timely grass seeding; helped distribute trees ordered by customers of the CD; and participated in outreach activities, such as mailing newsletters and staffing a display at the local county fair.

The Thomas County CD supports the NRCS field office in Colby, Kansas, and the population that makes up Thomas County. CD Earth Team volunteers provide great assistance to the CD and NRCS by reaching out to the public when time and people are limited during a normal workday. Volunteers have been instrumental in providing conservation education to county residents of all ages living in both urban and rural areas.
Earth Team Volunteer Coordinator Award (state and national recipient)
Tracey Martin, Office Automation Assistant, Salina State Office
As the Earth Team (ET) volunteer coordinator for the State Office (SO) and Plant Materials Center (PMC), Tracey Martin is responsible for the management of the ET Volunteer Program (Program) in these two offices. She became an ET volunteer coordinator in 2008, and since that time has increased the number of volunteers from 25 in 2008 to 89 in 2010, and volunteer hours from 261 in 2008 to 972 in 2010 in her area of responsibility.
Following are some of Tracey's accomplishments during FY 2010:
|Tracey Martin (right) presents an award to an Earth Team Volunteer
Tracey was also selected as the outstanding ET Volunteer Coordinator at the national level.
Chief's Field Award
Cimarron Field Office, Cimarron, Kansas
The Cimarron Field Office (FO) actively seeks and supports the use of Earth Team (ET) volunteers. The responsibilities involved in having a successful volunteer program are shared between the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) staff and the conservation district (CD) staff. All staff members make a conscious effort to look for creative ideas for volunteer projects that would support conservation educational goals. Volunteers are then recruited in various methods. Many of the volunteers are retired persons, students, family, and friends.
Volunteers are recognized during the CD's annual meeting with a certificate and a keepsake award. The staff meets with and trains volunteers. All activities, whether assisting around the office or with educational programs, are supported by all of the FO staff.
|Cimarron Field Office Staff (from left) - Jeff Ladner, District Conservationist; Barbara Good, Gray County District Manager; and Delores Eberle, Soil Conservation Technician
Several of the projects in Gray County that utilize volunteers are considered fairly routine activities; however, it should never be taken for granted the amount of time that is required to produce a fair booth, run a poster contest, or promote several aggressive educational programs. Gray County has a very successful "Day at the Farm" activity and many volunteers are repeat individuals who come back to assist every year. The CD also co-sponsors the Ark River Water Festival, which is supported by NRCS Staff, as well.
The Cimarron FO is a great example of how working together for a common goal can generate results through volunteerism.

Astronomers have discovered the largest structure yet seen in the universe, a clump of quasars so large that it would take light 4 billion years to traverse its widest dimension. Light from these quasars started its journey when the universe was only 5 billion years old, the researchers say. Far larger than previously discovered groups of quasars, the structure (artist's depiction of a single quasar) is so large that it challenges Albert Einstein's cosmological principle—the notion that the universe, at large scales, looks the same no matter the direction and locale from which you look. According to that theory, the researchers say, the universe's large-scale structures—in this case, clumps of objects such as quasars—shouldn't be larger than 1.2 billion light-years across. The elongated, newly discovered large quasar group (LQG) is, on average, about 1.63 billion light-years across but in its largest dimension is more than 4 billion light-years across, the researchers report today in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. By comparison, typical clusters of galaxies can be nearly 10 million light-years across. Bringing the comparison to our cosmic neighborhood, the new record-holding group of quasars spans about 1600 times the distance between our Milky Way galaxy and our neighbor Andromeda.

Justin Bieber goes on a rant
Remember what Justin Bieber looked like flailing away last week as he tried to fight a bothersome paparazzo in London? Imagine that done in words on Instagram, and you have what the Biebs did Thursday morning.
The pop star — who recently had a bumpy, headline-fueling trip to London — posted what started as a rant protesting the "countless lies in the press right now" and defending himself specifically against claims that he's headed to rehab and that his grandparents were disappointed with him.
And then he said a bunch of nice stuff about himself.

Kragthorpe: Jefferson's unselfish resurgence helps Jazz
Caught in that moment of indecision between taking another dribble toward the basket and beating the buzzer, Jazz center Al Jefferson tossed up a running, floating shot that bounced off the rim as the first quarter ended Monday night.
Jefferson just shook his head and smiled as he walked toward the bench, knowing he'd missed an opportunity for a spectacular finish and that more scoring chances were ahead for him.
These are good times for Jefferson and the Jazz. After a 112-102 victory over Portland at EnergySolutions Arena, the Jazz (39-36) have a season-high winning streak of five games. They're inside the West's playoff cut, and Jefferson is the conference's reigning Player of the Week.
Just as was happening prior to the NBA trade deadline in mid-February, Jefferson is doing everything he can he make the Jazz winners and make himself a boatload of money. Those dynamics do not necessarily go together, but it's a favorable combination right now.
The weird thing about this convergence is how exactly nobody around here expects Jefferson to return next season, now that he's about to become a free agent. Yet this guy and this team are closely tied to one another for the remaining seven games and whatever their playoff future holds. They're relying on him and he's showing how much he cares about winning, which should endear him to other teams and increase his value.
"It's just business time, man," Jefferson said, speaking strictly I'm fairly certain of the playoff chase. "It's fun winning, for sure. It's just like we've been talking about all year, 'We need to do this, we need to do that' to win games, and now we're doing it."
If this is a stressful situation, Monday was a semi-vacation. Jefferson worked 30-plus minutes, posting 24 points and 10 rebounds, before being allowed to watch the entire fourth quarter from the bench.
It helped that Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge was injured, opening the inside for Jefferson to operate. Yet there's no doubt the Jazz's offense is finally working as designed, to the extent that they're making themselves tough to defend.
Jefferson is a big, big part of that. When he's moving the ball, the Jazz are efficient. For whatever reason, that wasn't happening right after the trade deadline, once it became clear that Jefferson was staying through the season. But now he's the Good Al again, playing unselfishly within the system.
"He's doing a great job of being patient, making the right pass enough times to keep the [defense] honest," said Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin. "His teammates are doing a great job of cutting; they're spacing the floor to give him opportunities one-on-one."
It hardly hurts Jefferson's cause to have Randy Foye and Mo Williams drill a combined 19 3-pointers in two games. "It works both ways," said Gordon Hayward. "When he's rolling, and then kicking it out to us, it opens it up for us."
The result is the Jazz temporarily have moved ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers and into the No.8 (and last) playoff spot in the West. The surge is such that Jefferson cited the Baltimore Ravens, who got hot enough to win a Super Bowl. That comparison is a huge stretch, but who knows? This arrangement between Jefferson and the Jazz just might last a while, amid the various incentives coming into play.
A playoff push "goes a long way with showing who you are," Corbin said.
Other teams are noticing Jefferson for future reference, but the Jazz are the only team that can benefit from him now.

News Corp. Posts Q4 Loss, Takes $2.8 Billion Charge (AllThingsD)
News Corp. missed its quarterly numbers Wednesday by reporting adjusted earnings of 32 cents a share on revenue of $8.4 billion; the Street was expecting 32 cents and $8.7 billion. TheWrap It posted a fiscal fourth-quarter net loss of $1.55 billion, or 64 cents per share, compared with a profit of $683 million, or 26 cents per share, a year ago. LA Times / Company Town The company said it generated revenue of $8.4 billion, a decline of 7 percent, from the nearly $9 billion it took in during the year-earlier period. Strength at the company's key cable TV networks, including FX and Fox News Channel, were weighed down by issues elsewhere in the company. paidContent Suddenly, you can see why News Corp. is eager to split its news, TV and movie businesses in two: Operating income in the group's existing "publishing" division -- comprising Dow Jones, WSJ, The Daily, New York Post, UK and Australian newspapers and HarperCollins -- has halved in the last year, according to the group's Wednesday disclosure of earnings for the fourth quarter ending June 30. Capital New York News Corp. is "on course" to separate its publishing and entertainment holdings into two distinct, publicly-traded companies, according to president and chief operating officer Chase Carey. HuffPost / AP Movie studio revenue fell 14 percent to $1.74 billion, as the company failed to match the box office success of last year's Rio. Revenue from its Fox broadcast TV network and stations fell 3 percent to $1.08 billion, while revenue from its Sky Italia satellite TV company fell 15 percent to $880 million due to subscriber losses amid a weak Italian economy. WSJ / Corruption Currents News Corp. reported Wednesday that it took a $224 million charge on its fiscal full-year results relating to the costs of investigating a myriad of scandals that began with the closure of its weekly tabloid, News of the World. Forbes / Mixed Media Close observers of the Murdoch dynasty got a rare treat during News Corp.'s fiscal-year-end earnings call: an appearance from James Murdoch, the erstwhile heir apparent to 81-year-old chairman Rupert. Bloomberg Annual publishing profit fell 31 percent to $597 million, partly because of shrinking advertising revenue at the Australian newspapers as well as the closure of the News of the World newspaper, the company said.

Tearful Lolo Jones on New York Times: 'It Was Just Heartbreaking. I Don't Think I Should Be Ripped Apart by Media' (TVNewser)
Lolo Jones, who finished fourth in the finals of the 100-meter hurdles Tuesday, went on Today Wednesday morning and, fighting back tears, said a Saturday New York Times story that compared her to Anna Kournikova, the former tennis pro known more for her good looks than her play on the court, didn't help her performance. Mediaite Calling it heartbreaking, Jones also went on to note that the media "just tore me apart" before her race, rather than supporting her. FishbowlNY Jones added that the Times also conveniently left out the fact that she is quite accomplished. NYT / Media Decoder Jones was among a number of female athletes whose appearance became a topic of discussion during these Games.

The Texas Education Agency is asking federal officials to investigate the San Elizario and Canutillo school districts which, like the El Paso Independent School District, tried to control the population of limited English proficient students to cheat federal accountability measures.
The TEA sent a letter on Monday to the U.S Department of Education Office of Civil Rights and the Office of the Inspector General seeking the investigation because findings in the districts are similar to the cheating scheme that occurred at the EPISD. The agency also attached its finalized audit findings on the Canutillo and San Elizario districts that were released in March.
Officials of the U.S. Department of Education Office of the Inspector General and the Office for Civil Rights could not be reached Tuesday to confirm whether an investigation or an audit on either district would be opened.
The Office of the Inspector General is now investigating the cheating scandal that occurred in the EPISD. Once the agency finalizes its preliminary report on the EPISD, the TEA will submit the final report to the Office of Civil Rights to determine whether students' rights were violated. EPISD also is being investigated by the FBI.
Officials of the FBI could not be reached late Tuesday for comment about the San Elizario or Canutillo districts.
"With respect to the OIG, the allegations and findings are similar to that of the El Paso ISD situation; therefore, we are referring these findings to your office for any determinations under federal jurisdiction and authority," the letter states. "We request that the OCR determines whether students (including students from Mexico) were excluded from, denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination related to any Department program in violation of their civil rights."
Under the leadership of former Superintendent Lorenzo García, EPISD administrators manipulated student credits and kept limited-English-proficient students out of the 10th grade to cheat federal accountability measures.
García is now serving 3å years in federal prison for the scheme and for steering a $450,000 no-bid contract to a mistress.
Debbie Ratcliffe, spokeswoman for the TEA, said that the agency asks the federal government to step in from time to time.
"It's unique in the sense that we are finding the same kind of manipulation in one county," Ratcliffe said. "We hope that it is isolated."
According to the TEA's final audit on the San Elizario district, during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school years the district promoted more than 50 students from the ninth to the 11th grade under the former high school principal, Antonio Baca. The students who were affected were recent immigrants from Mexico who had enrolled in San Elizario High School.
Student transcripts from Mexico were also not evaluated until the end of the school year, which affected the students' promotion to the 10th grade.
Other practices such as requiring students to pass Algebra I and English I in order to advance to 10th grade were also implemented, similar to practices in the EPISD, according to the TEA's final report on the San Elizario district.
In Canutillo, former superintendent Damon Murphy applied similar actions that affected students who were limited-English-proficient during the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 school years, according to the TEA's final audit of the district.
The TEA's audit also alleged that the former principal of Canutillo High School, Jim Fry, manipulated student data and retained students in the ninth grade or had them moved to the 11th grade. Fry, who is now the executive director of curriculum, instruction and assessment at the Clarkston School District in Clarkston, Wash., denied that he attempted to deliberately cheat federal laws, local laws or policy.
These practices allowed the numbers of limited English proficient students to remain low so that the Canutillo district did not meet the minimum size for the 2010, 2011 or 2012 pool of students to be considered a subgroup to be evaluated through the federal adequate yearly progress measures, the TEA report states.
Murphy resigned under pressure in December, and earlier this month the district announced that Pedro Galaviz, director of secondary education at the Round Rock Independent School District, was the finalist in the district's search for a superintendent. He is expected to start at the end of the school year in June.
Both the Canutillo and the San Elizario districts have begun to take steps to correct the deficiencies found, a matter that is addressed in the letter to the federal agencies.
San Elizario Superintendent Sylvia Hopp said that though she has not seen a copy of the letter from the TEA, she is concerned.
"It's always disconcerting," Hopp said. "But the bottom line is that these actions have been corrected, and this (cheating) is not ongoing at the district. I think if the TEA sends that report to anyone else, they will find the same thing."
Canutillo school board President Armando Rodriguez said that though he hadn't seen a copy of the TEA letter, he said he feels that the agencies need to examine the school districts across the state as well as the TEA.
"I would hope that the federal government would require the TEA to audit itself," Rodriguez said. "I think it's critical for it to be known to our community and to people that make legislative decisions at the state and federal government level so that we can address it all together so that we can fight for our kids and improve the educational system across the board. It's broken, we need to fix it. We don't need a Band-Aid solution."
Both districts -- San Elizario and Canutillo -- are currently being monitored by the TEA and are implementing corrective action plans to ensure that a cheating scheme does not happen again. Preventive measures that district officials are undertaking include review and revisions of the evaluation process of out-of-country transcripts; revisions of graduation requirements and credit recovery programs; revisions of enrollment procedures; and revisions of grade-level classification with a revised checks and balances system.
Ratcliffe said that the new standardized test, the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness End of Course tests, or STAAR EOC, may prevent cheating in the future. The tests were first administered during the 2011-2012 school year.
"This test is based on end-of-course exams for every grade level," Ratcliffe said. "So this (cheating) will cease to be an issue in the future. What we found in these districts is that they were having students avoid the 10th-grade test, which is the measurement for federal accountability ratings. With the end of course exams, they have to take those at every grade level -- which will help resolve the situation."
In response to Rodriguez's comment, Ratcliffe said that each year the Department of Education reviews how the agency assesses Adequate Yearly Progress reports and this is an matter that is in continual review.
Texas Education Commissioner Michael L. Williams said that the TEA is aware of ongoing audits that were done at the San Elizario and Canutillo districts but would not comment further.
"The agency is aware of certain activities. and the agency is aware of certain audits and investigations that have been done," Williams said. "But at the same time, let us go through our process. It's due process. I do think however, that what has happened in El Paso is a warning signal to other districts."

Buffalo goalie Ryan Miller will not be available for the Sabres on Wednesday when they host the Boston Bruins.
"He's not available to play today," coach Lindy Ruff told reporters. "Just day-to-day right now."
Miller reported feeling tightness in his lower body Monday and sat out practice as a precaution. He practiced Tuesday and said he felt better, and was on the ice for Wednesday morning's practice, but mostly stretched and watched as backup Patrick Lalime and Jhonas Enroth, who was called up from AHL Portland, were in the goals.
Ruff would not reveal who his starting goaltender Wednesday night would be, and both goalies left the ice at the same time when practice ended.
Dallas Stars. He's 0-2-0 with a 4.04 goals-against average and .871 save percentage in two games.
"The numbers speak for themselves," Ruff said of Lalime. "I thought he got off to a good start in the Dallas game. A tipped goal goes in, a screened goal goes in. I think there's been goals that there's not a thing you can do about."
Enroth, a 22-year-old second-round pick in 2006, is 4-2 with a 3.51 GAA and .895 save percentage in seven games with Portland. He made his NHL debut last season, stopping 33 of 37 shots in a loss to the Bruins.
One player the Sabres will have in the lineup is Jason Pominville, who will return after missing nine games with a concussion suffered Oct. 11. Also back in the lineup will be defenseman and team captain Craig Rivet, who had been a healthy scratch the last two games.
Opposing the Sabres on Wednesday will be Bruins goalie Tim Thomas. The NHL's Second Star of the Month is 6-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA and .984 save percentage.

Re: long waits on Netflix
I don't get the point...XBOX makes it less likely to be Long Waited? I don't think something like
Angels & Demons
would be Long Waited anyway. Only certain titles get impacted, and the trend seems to be the titles that target what I presume is Netflix's key demographic - young, urban, male, tech-focused early adopter, relatively high income/education. Not the

audience at all.

Help Me Get Fit
I have an issue of constantly falling off because of my balance so,
1. What are some balance exercises i can do on horseback?
2. What are some balance exercises i can do off horseback?
3. What are some things i can do to get my "Horseback riding muscles" in shape on and off horseback?
My mum started riding a spooky mare, and subsequently falling off. She has had great success doing yoga once a week. Not "hatha" though, she does a hot Vinyassa flow class... It's great fun, and her coach has even noticed that she is far more stable after only about 6 weeks..
Two books you might want to check out:
Yoga for Equestrians by Linda Benedik and Veronica Wirth
Rider's Fitness Program by dianna Robin Dennis, John J. McCully and Paul M. Juris
I just started reading these as I'm working on getting Fit too
342 Attachment(s)
Off of horseback.. anything with an exercise ball. Even sitting on it helps with balance so much! Yoga is great and any kind of cardio workout will help you remember to breathe through things while you're on a horse. Stretching before and after riding is very beneficial too. Also, dancing! Nothing like playing a few Wii dance games to get you loose and your blood circulating.
The most important thing to work on is abs though. A strong core means for a more balanced ride.
As for on the horse.. walking without stirrups or better yet bareback, will help improve your balance. Also riding with no legs while on the lunge line (leg hanging down, bend at the knee bring it back towards the horse's tail. reach with your hand and hold the toe or entire foot) on both sides, making sure to sit on your seat bones and push those knees so they're almost pointing down. Also another one on the lunge line is to bring your knees to meet at the top of your saddle (a little trickier for western saddles) and put your hands either on top of your lap or on your hips.
Without being on the lungeline.. working on 2-point. It'll help with your balance a lot because it gets your legs where they need to be. Also doing hip figure eights at the walk (left hip forward, circle to the outside with it, bring it back to the middle, right hip forward, circle to the outside with it, bring it back to the middle.)
Finally.. working on that sitting trot. Start with a posting trot if you aren't feeling comfortable sitting yet or if your horse wants to go go go. Get them to slow down sit the trot and aim to keep your horse on the rail.. then do circles.. figure eights.. weaving, serpentine. All at the sitting trot. You can also do it in 2-point regardless if you ride western or English.
Good luck :)

Prince Avalanche [OST]
Explosions In The Sky , David Wingo
Amoeba Review
Explosions in the Sky's riveting soundtrack work continues with the score for Prince Avalanche, an upcoming comedy starting Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch as a mismatched duo of misfits who spend the summer together repainting traffic lines. Explosions in the Sky match the solitude of the characters with a spare yet hopeful score. Individual tones are given room to breathe, while subtle acoustic guitar and piano provide support. A clarinet leads the poignant "Dear Madison." The band whips up a hypnotic concoction of acoustic arpeggios and digitized choirs on "Alone Time," akin to Art of Noise's quiet storm classic, "Moments in Love." There are also some really gorgeous songs on Prince Avalanche that could stand apart from the soundtrack, like "Hello, Is This Your House?," which evokes a faded seaside with its gently unfurling Spanish guitar and sleepy piano accompaniment. Stirring trings and harmonica make "A Peasant Like Me" a winner, and syncopated synthesizers and guitars launch the propulsive "Join Me on My Avalanche." And "Send Off" fittingly caps off the soundtrack on a hopeful note of jaunty indie rock. It's a solid piece of work from a band who knows how to pair subtlety with moving moments to create memorable soundtracks that support and augment their accompanying films without interfering.

South West Water's profits up 10 per cent to £83million
Posted: November 29, 2012|
South West Water's profits increased by 10 per cent to more than £83 million in the first six months of the financial year.
The Plymouth water company's parent Pennon Group announced its unaudited results for the half year ended 30 September 2012 this morning.
Pennon chairman Ken Harvey, said: "South West Water is continuing its strong operational performance against the 2010-2015 regulatory contract with further advances in operating efficiency and customer service.
"Despite the wettest summer in 100 years impacting customer demand and operating costs, the company's profit before tax has increased through rigorous cost control, efficiency delivery and stable interest costs. South West Water was unable to consent to Ofwat's licence change proposals but has responded constructively on how its concerns can be addressed.

"Notwithstanding current challenges, the Group has delivered increased overall profit before tax for the first half year and an increase in dividend in line with our stated policy."
Pennon's profit before tax is up 3.4% to £111.1m, South West Water's profits is up 10.0% to £83.8m and Pennon's comercial and recycling arm Viridor sees profits down 26.5% to £22.5m

Here's the Thing: Judd Apatow
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On January 12, 2013 @ 11:00 am In Humor,Weekend | Comments Disabled
This week Alec talks with Judd Apatow, whose films include 'The 40 Year Old Virgin,' 'Knocked Up,' and 'Funny People;' all of which feature emotionally immature men forced to grow up after confronting, respectively — sex, responsibility and death. Of all Apatow's movies, his most recent, "This is 40", which opened the weekend before Christmas, may be his most personal and stars his wife, Leslie Mann, and their two daughters.
Apatow talks with Alec about working with some of his heroes, like Albert Brooks: "obviously I'm terrified 'cause I'm working with someone who's clearly more talented than me." For Apatow, each movie he makes is "a letter to myself telling me something that I need to know about how to live my life."

El Pasoan Alice Chavez knows what it's like to be Angelina Jolie.
At least when it comes to her health.
Like, Jolie, Chavez has undergone a double mastectomy. She had cancer in her left breast, and a risk of cancer in the still-healthy one.
"In September of 2012, I was diagnosed with breast cancer after getting a mammogram at the age of 46," Chavez said. "I had no prior family history of breast cancer. It was recommended that I take the BRCA test as well, to determine if I had that gene for ovarian cancer, but that came back negative."
That was the good news.
Chavez still had to deal with the cancer in her left breast.
"Getting a CT scan prior to my surgery enabled them to see that my right breast was also compromised with calcification," Chavez said. "But even before that test was done, I had already decided on the bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction immediately afterward."
Jolie didn't have breast cancer, but last week she revealed that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy because she had a strong genetic predisposition for it.
In an op-ed piece she wrote for the New York Times, the 37-year-old Oscar-winning actress wrote that her mother died at 56 after fighting cancer for more than a decade.
She decided on preventive surgery after learning that she carries the BRCA1 gene, which increases her risk for having breast and ovarian cancer. Doctors had told her that she had an 87 percent chance of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent chance of developing ovarian cancer.
Now, after surgery, Jolie's chances of developing breast cancer are less than 5 percent.
Jolie is not the first celebrity to come forward. Stars such as actress Christina Applegate and talk-show host Sharon Osborne have revealed they, too, have chosen to pre-emptively removed their breasts because of their strong genetic risk of cancer.
Dr. Anh Lee, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Evolve Plastic Surgery in El Paso, said the big message for women is monthly breast self-exams.
"One in eight women have a risk of getting breast cancer regardless of family history," Lee said. "It's very important for women to do the monthly self breast exams, and if they have a strong family history, the BRCA test is available."
Breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the United States for women. White women ages 55 to 64 are more susceptible, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Lee said there needs to be an honest conversation between the doctor and the patient to explore treatment options and to make informed decisions.
"As with any testing, there needs to be a talk on risks and benefits," she said. "It's a multi-team process with the physician, the surgical oncologist and the breast surgeon; it's a whole network. Everything happens pretty rapidly once the diagnosis is made, but the decision on what steps to take next is up to the women and the family."
If cancer is found in one breast, Lee said, the decision to have the healthy breast removed could be even more difficult.
"It's emotional and psychological factors that drive that decision," she said. "Many times they think that there may be a chance of getting the cancer in the healthy breast down the line, and they don't want to deal with that years from now. You are seeing more women getting both of their breasts removed."
Lee said the odds of the second breast being compromised depend on the type of cancer.
"There are some types of cancers that could increase the risk of having it in both breasts more so than other cancers," she said. "Again, your physician and your surgical oncologist will discuss that risk with you."
Lee added that preventive double mastectomies are covered by insurance.
Chavez, who had her surgery on Oct. 1, 2012, said that because of Jolie's high profile, women are again focusing on their own health.
"To bring this to light again, in our community and throughout the country, it gives women an opportunity to have an option to eradicate the cancer out of their bodies as soon as possible," she said.
"I kind of feel this is my mission, so if there is someone else who is going through this who could shed light and have a positive reaction to something that is life-threatening, it is great that it's out there in the news."
Chavez was diagnosed with DCIS -- or ductal carcinoma in situ -- the presence of abnormal cells inside a milk duct in the breast.
DCIS is considered the earliest form of breast cancer.
"I received my final pathology a month after my surgery," she said. "They had to test the lymph nodes and my lymph nodes were clear, but they had to verify if any of the cancer actually got out of the milk ducts.
"What we found was two millimeters had become invasive, which means it came out of the milk duct and it was trying to get its way to the rest of the breast tissue."
Because of that, she must see her oncologist every three months for the next two years.
"Protocol is, less than 5 millimeters there is not treatment, meaning no chemotherapy or radiation, which was the whole purpose of me doing the radical surgery," she said. "I wanted it completely out of my system so that I wouldn't have to go through treatment -- because my husband had a brain tumor and I already saw the terrible side effects of chemotherapy and radiation."
Chavez said she can now use her experience, and that of Jolie, to motivate her triplet 16-year-old daughters to self-examine.
"They know, going forward, this is something they have to be sure they are thinking about and be aware of," Chavez said.
"I understand what Angelina Jolie went through. When you have children and you can somehow alter that possibility of having breast cancer for your mortality and for your children's sake, I would do the same thing she did."

It feels like I just started
And you also don't have to have a freezer stash. If you want one, you can start pumping in the mornings or so.
I've never had a milk stash because I have excess lipase so freezing my milk is a pain in the neck. If I went out, I usually took baby along. If I couldn't, I pumped that morning and left milk if I'd be gone long enough that he might need some.... he took maybe an ounce, once.
No need to stop at 1 year--there's so much benefit for you and baby in continuing. Take it one day at a time. :) We have been and now my nursling is 34 months and down to once or twice a day. It makes me sad to think that he'll be done soon.

Yours will be at least the 10th blog where we note that "nothing new" or attention-grabbing is provided at the CES. I'm wondering when the next 'evolutionary' step will come and in what format? Any thoughts? I'd seen some home security/internet-based stuff a couple of years ago that really wiggled the meter, but nothing really since then. I find it continually more difficult to find sponsors that can help get us to the CES to help defray costs - because there's "nothing new". ;) Thanks for your article and I look forward to more!
I would add something else, of course, but in fact almost everything is mentioned!....
Yeah, now it's clear !... And firstly I did not understand very much where there was the link with the title itself !!....
It's straight to the point! You could not tell in other words! :DD
Is anybody strong in radio here? We need a colleague who would tell us briefly about the transistor T2. I hope there are radio amateurs here. If it`s not on the subject at all, then I`m sorry. I have to write because I have no choice. PS: if the spelling is not right then also I'm sorry, I'm just 13 years old!....
Can be also this issue because the truth can be achieved only in a dispute :DD

Tips and Tricks D 70
Mar 25, 2005
Having for the past 2 weeks checked every possible review etc on the internet with regards to the D 70 I have at last made a decision and yesterday ordered the camera from Amazon.co.uk.
Question is where do I buy the Nikon soft camera case for this camera.
Also I am wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks for the D 70 which might help a newbie like me.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

After reading Doyle's "article" about the 'overrating' of teams due to their conference in early polls, I have one question for Mr. Doyle.. Did you have a vote in the AP poll and if you did, can we ask where you ranked the Rebels?
That being said, Mr. Doyle brought up some points that were obvious to most fans of college football that seem to be a "revelation" To other sportswriters. Polls are OPINIONS nothing more. So why is it that a National Championship based on sports reporters "opinions" more relevant than Joe Q Public?
Let's point out a few points.
AP Polls Most reporters based on the east coast, don't keep up with west coast games. Think about it. If Oregon/Washington dont' finish until midnight central time, that means it's 1 a.m. on the east coast, and most reporters are under deadlines to get their articles completed, so they see about the same as Joe Public.. Highlights. That's their grading criteria more often than not.
Conference "priority" : Why is it that a Big-10 team is given higher credentials than an MWC team? Why is a SEC team given priority over a C-USA team? History. Would any reporter explain to me why what happened 4 or 5 years ago is relevant to this season?
Recruiting grades: I know , i know.. these are the kids from high-school who are "all-stars". Most high recruits usually get the priviledge of a redshirt season... So they don't even fit into an equation the following year. But I hear "University X" had a top 20 recruiting class.. based on what? Stats from teens who may or may not have reached their physical development?
The one thing the BCS did right... they don't count the polls until Week 6 (i Think it's 6) into their calculations. But a few things get to get straightened up. But why is it that an Oklahoma loses to a (then undefeated) BYU... but they only drop from 3 to 13, and since BYU was beaten handily by Florida State, they haven't dropped below 2-1 FLorida State? (still unranked, with Oklahoma still a top 10 team). WHat has Oklahoma done to prove that their record (BYU - L , Idaho State/Tulsa - W) is more valid than FLorida state (Miami - L, BYU/Jacksonville STate - W).
What happened to proving something with wins/losses rather than sportswriter's opinions? When the BCS dropped a couple of ranking systems from their formula, did it not seem suspicious that the polls dropped were ones based on wins, losses, and statistics, and not one of the opinion polls (reporters or coaches?) Name one coach that has time to keep up with _ALL_ 120 Division 1-A teams in the country.
And this is what the BCS wants to base their mythical "national" champion on? A small subset of public opinion? Does anyone else see the problem with this?
Other than the team that wins the national championship the previous season, shouldn't the best teams be the ones with the fewest losses? Did you know that at hte moment, there are exactly 25 teams in the nation that are undefeated . (PDF still shows Ole Miss as undefeated, as it hasn't been updated yet). Should these 25 teams not be the top 25 teams in the nation until they are defeated? When you narrow down the undefeated teams, then you can argue about everyone underneath them... but until then 0 losses = best teams in the nation.
There is a way to fix this.. but of course, I can assure you it's not going to happen... because these schools want their "BCS money".
Note: We are only including Football schools in this..
First: We are going to allow polls, however, as you will see, they are very limited as to what they're involvement will be.
Second: We are going to convert the entire country into 5 "super conferences" of 24 teams per super conference... you can go to 6/20 if you wish.. it's up to you.
Each Super conference very simiilar to the NFL.. you'll have 2 Divisions, with 2 subdivisions.
East Conference: First Division - sub conference a and B. Secon division - Sub Conference A and B
You'll play your Sub-Conference teams (5 games), you'll play 2 teams from your B conference (rotating of course), and then you have to play the other two conferences that finished in the same position you did in the standings. (so if you finished 3rd in East-First-A, you'll have to play the team that finished 3rd in East-2nd-A and East-2nd B).
That's 9 games... that will give you TWO OOC game that you're free to schedule as you wish... there's your 11 regular season games
If you decide to schedule a Jacksonville State, that's your business... if you think it's what you need to be "Impressive".
Now that we're done, now you've got 4 division champions determined... A vs. B, C vs. D.. Winners face off... that's 13 games to set your playoffs in motion. Winner take all..
That gives you 5 conference champions... and NOW you can look to the polls
Take the 3 top ranked teams in your polls who didn't win their conference championship.. and throw them in there. (If you go with 6 conferences, you only take the top 2 ranked teams)... you now have your playoffs. The conference champions with the best rankings get the top seeds of the playoffs, the ranked non-champs get slots 6. 7, and 8.
Now there are some cons in there... How do you set up the conferences? Geographically of course... YOu want something to talk about, you set up it as much as you can in geographics... Yes, some smaller schools are going to bring down some numbers, but you know what.. deal with it. Treat it like a sport and not a business for once.... Here's an example (Feel free to move teams as you see necessary).
The Southern Superconference:
Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, East Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Houston, Kentucky, La-Lafayette, La Tech, LA-Monroe, LSU, Marshall, Memphis, Mississippi, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Southern Methodist, Southern Mississippi, Tennessee, Troy, Tulane, UAB, Vanderbilt.
East: Army, Boston College, Buffalo, Clemson, Connecticut, Duke, Florida Atlantic, Florida Int'l, Florida State, Georgia TEch, Louisville, Maryland, Miami Fla, Navy, North Carolina, NC STate, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, S Florida, Syracuse, UCF, Virginia, VIrginia Tech, Wake Forest
Midwest: Air Force, Arkansas STate, Baylor, Cincinnati, Colorado, Col. St, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Middle Tennesee, Missouri, Nebraska, Rice, Okalahoma, Ok. State, Tulsa, TCU, Texas, Tex A&M, Tex. Tech, North Texas, West Virginia, W. Ky, Wyoming
Heartlands; Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, central Michicagn, E. Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kent STate, Miami Ohio, Michigan, Michigan state, minnesota, N. Illinois, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio, Ohio state, penn state, purdue, temple, toledo, W. Michigan, Wisconsin
West: Arizona, Ariz. State, boise state, BYU, Cal, Fresno State, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico state, Utah, ORgeon, Oregon State, New Mexico, San Jose State, USC, Stanford, SD state, UTEP, UCLA, UNLV, Utah State, Washington, Washington State
Let each region of the country find their 'champion'.. and then compete for the real National Champion...

I LOVE my $9 rice cooker from Target! Besides cooking PERFECT brown rice, I also use it to cook lentils, barley, and other grains. Add in frozen veggies and seasonings when the rice is almost done and have a yummy meal all in one pot.
I cook most of my meals in an electric rice cooker, which has a steaming tray. Better carbs, no extra fat, and no picking at it while you eat. If you're shopping, try to find a rice cooker with a steaming tray. If you can't find one, there are still lots of recipes you can make, and a lot of them don't even include rice. 4
Cook more than just rice in a Rice Cooker: Why hide away that rice cooker you got as a shower gift and only use it once in a while! I discovered it cooks hot cereals like Cream of Wheat or Red Mill grains--quickly, easily, with no boilover to clean up afterwards. I use mine to cook beans after soaking them--again, easy and no boilovers. And why not easily and gently poach a chicken breast the same way?
I was always making white rice because I didn't want to wait for brown rice to cook. I bought an electric rice cooker. Now I start the brown rice first, and by the time the rest of the meal is complete, the rice is too.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- A long-awaited appeal of a ruling requiring the state of Kansas to increase funding for public schools is first on the list at the Kansas Supreme Court on Tuesday.
13 News will be in court for the case aimed at resolving whether policy makers arbitrarily shortchanged students or did the best they could in difficult financial times. Melissa Brunner will be covering that for us.
An earlier Shawnee County District Court ruling held that spending cuts caused an,``unconstitutional eroding'' of education funding.
The appeal of that decision brought it to the state's highest court. Delaying the court's order to increase base funding for students, by more than $440 million.

Members Absent:
Charlene Libby
Others Present:
Fred Farnham, CEO, Peter Daniels, and Jack Chase
Chairman Stephen Heroux called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.
Peter Daniels of 32 Davis Road is requesting a 3 ' variance from the sideline set back, located in the Village zone, Tax Map 2, Lot 59-4.
Dennis motioned to open the public hearing for Peter Daniels of 32 Davis Road for a variance to reduce the sideline setback. Seconded by Jack, the motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote.
Mr. Daniels stated that the builder set the foundation approximately 18 inches from the sideline set back. He could not get the builder to make any corrections. Trying to resolve the problem with the abutter, Mr. Daniels returned to the Planning Board to amend a lot line. There were closing issues with the mortgage lenders and the Planning Board had to rescind their decision.
Fred submitted a letter giving the board the history leading to the problem. The porch is protruding into the setback by 18 inches.
Stephen stated that the home is located in the village zone, which requires a 20-foot setback. The Board is allowed to reduce the side setback by 20%.
Dennis motioned to vote on the three hardship requirements to meet the variance, seconded by Jack, the motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote.
Stephen read Article 6.2.B.2 hardship question #2, the need for the variance is due to the unique circumstance of the property and not to the general condition in the neighborhood.
Dennis motioned the applicant has met the requirement since the variance is due to the unique circumstance of the foundation being built too close to the property line and not to the fault of the owner. Seconded by Jack, the motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote.
Hardship #3: Motioned by Dennis, seconded by Jack the granting of this variance will not alter the essential character or the locality; due to the fact that the applicant has tried to resolve the situation with the abutter. The motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote.
Hardship #4: Dennis motioned the hardship is not due to action taken by the applicant it was actions taken by the contractor. Seconded by Jack, the motion passed with a 3 – 1 vote; Dennis, Stephen and Jack vote in favor, Peter against.
Stephen asked if any abutters or anyone from the public wanted to speak. There were none.
Motioned by Dennis to accept the variance on 6.2.B.2 reducing the setback by 3 feet, that would reduce down to 17 feet. Seconded by Jack, the motion passed with a 4 – 0 vote.
Dennis motioned to close the public hearing, seconded by Jack. The motion passed unanimously.
Approval of Minutes:
December 7, 2004 - motioned by Dennis, seconded by Jack to accept the minutes of December 7, 2004 as written. The motion passed with a 3 – 0 - 1 vote. Peter abstained.

Did you manually set the git_binary setting in the Package Control settings? Can you try browsing to the package folder that is a git repository and executing "git fetch"?
The Package Control folder is empty. I re-downloaded the sublime-package file mentioned above but no luck. I tried to clone the github repo but that didnt worked either.
For git config i have this:
- Code: Select all
"git_binary": "C:\\cygwin\\git\\bin"
(also tried to specify git.exe and / instead of \\). Same error.

Ask Food: The verdict on frozen yogurt
Q: Is frozen yogurt healthy? A. Yes.
Using yogurt instead of cream typically means a significant reduction in fat and calories. A half-cup serving of frozen yogurt will typically average 100 to 140 calories and zero to three grams of fat (a very reasonable sweet treat for any healthy diet). Some premium brands of ice cream contain three times more calories and five times more fat than frozen yogurt! Our taste test revealed that beneficial probiotic bacteria are present in frozen yogurt (a bonus for your digestive system). Nutrients like calcium, vitamin D and protein can also be found.
Frozen yogurt still stacks up equally to ice cream when you look at the sugar content. One half cup of vanilla averages two to three teaspoons of sugar.
Is Fat-Free Better?
Nonfat varieties need to use thickeners and binders like carrageenan, cellulose and guar gum to make up for the texture that high-fat ingredients like cream naturally provide. While these additives are safe to eat, they make some varieties of yogurt more processed than ice cream.
The Verdict
Frozen yogurt certainly does have healthy attributes like less calories and fat and some healthy bacteria, but there's a lot of variation in the sea of frozen-yogurt options. Whether you're at the local yogurt shop or picking up pints at the grocery store, seek out nutrition info and read ingredient labels carefully. Portion control is still key -- choose "small" or "child" sizes when eating out and scoop out no more than a cup when at home.
