These days, everywhere you turn, you hear health professionals encouraging consumption of fatty fish, like salmon, due to their omega-3 fats and associated health benefits.
Fatty fish are a rich source of DHA and EPA omega-3, fats which are associated with a lower risk of heart disease and may be beneficial in conditions such as Alzheimers disease, eczema, asthma, depression and bipolar disorder. Additionally, omega-3 fats are critical in the formation of the brain and eyes of developing fetuses.
Its easy to understand why wed all benefit from regularly (at least twice per week) consuming fatty fish. Fatty fish, like salmon, are an excellent source of high-quality protein, and are low in saturated fat and cholesterol. One serving of salmon contains more vitamin D than a glass of milk, another nutrient many of us are lacking. There is no better time to start eating salmon than right now its Alaska salmon season.
Alaska sockeye salmon are considered the best and are prized by high-end restaurants for their succulent, rich, flavorful and silky flesh. Why are these salmon so spectacular? All wild salmon are born in freshwater and migrate to the salty seas to mature. Eventually, they return to their home streams to spawn and because they stop eating prior to and during the trip, they must store extra fat to fuel egg production and provide energy during the trip.
So how should you cook this super-delicious fish? Simply.
Alaska sockeye salmon is so delicious youll want to let the flavor shine in all its glory. Roasting is the perfect method to bring out the fishs natural flavor. The method outlined below is nearly foolproof. An initial blast of high heat kick-starts the browning process and kills any bacteria, and then a lower, gentle heat cooks the salmon to perfect doneness without drying out the edges. For all you foodies out there who want something less simple, try a few of the flavor combos listed as variations.
ANNE CUNDIFF is a registered dietitian with Hy-Vee. Contact her at 515-285-7266 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Serves 4
4 6-ounce skin-on wild Alaskan salmon fillets, about 1½ inches thick
2 teaspoons olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
1. Score the skin prior to cooking. Using a sharp or serrated knife, cut four or five shallow slashes (about 1 inch apart), through the skin of each piece of salmon. Be careful not to cut into the flesh of the salmon. This will enhance moisture in the fish as it cooks. The skin is very easy to remove after the salmon is cooked.
2. Adjust oven rack to the lowest position and place a rimmed baking sheet on the rack. Heat the oven to 500 F.
3. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Rub the fillets evenly with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Reduce oven temperature to 275 F and remove the baking sheet. Carefully place the salmon, skin-side down, on the hot baking sheet and immediately return to the oven.
5. Roast until the fish flakes apart when gently prodded with a paring knife, 9-13 minutes.
6. Gently transfer the fish to individual plates and serve with the lemon wedges.
Oven-roasted salmon with avocado, tomato and mango salsa: Combine 1 diced avocado, 2⁄3 cup chopped mango, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro and ¼ teaspoon salt. Top roasted salmon with mango salsa and serve.
Salsa recipe adapted from: www.californiaavocado.com
Oven-roasted salmon with horseradish, walnut and herbs: Combine 5 tablespoons creamy horseradish, 2⁄3 cup finely chopped walnuts, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, dill and/or tarragon) and 2 tablespoons softened Promise or Smart Balance spread. Prepare salmon as directed above, through step 3. Roast salmon for 5 minutes, remove from oven and spread mixture evenly over salmon fillets. Return to oven and continue roasting for an additional 6 to 8 minutes, until fish flakes apart when gently prodded with a paring knife. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Oven-roasted salmon with sol-i-mar rub: Combine 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, 1 teaspoon dried minced onion, ½ teaspoon dried orange peel, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon cilantro, ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning and ½ teaspoon dried basil. Stir well to combine. Rub 1 to 2 teaspoons rub mixture onto each side of the salmon fillets. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. Proceed with step 3, as directed above.

Probably the reason for such error is case sensitivity of the names.

BLACK/LIGHT— ROA, Phlegm and ROBOTS in LondonJuxtapoz // Monday, 28 Feb 2011
The Bussey Building, a disused warehouse located in Peckham is being revisited for an interactive installation called Black/Light with the London-based artist collective, Robots>>>>, together with ROA and Phlegm. Our London correspondent, Butterfly, was there to capture the opening.
The outer of the building has been decorated with the distinctive animals from Belgian artist, ROA. Large scale monochrome characters and designs from British artist, Phlegm, complement ROA's animals perfectly. As you enter the building into darkness, you are immediately handed a torch, inviting you to tentatively and quietly explore and discover the contents of the space. Shadows, ghostly figures and acoustic sounds, combined with projections create a feeling of total disorientation. Walking around we can identify a multitude of objects, animals, figures that form a hidden city. —Butterfly

Google says block on Skyhook in Android was legal
updated 01:00 pm EDT, Thu May 19, 2011
Google rebuffs Skyhook claims in lawsuit
Google in a court filing late last week denied doing anything illegal as a response to Skyhook's lawsuit. Lawyers argued that the decision to force Skyhook out of Android were just a "lawful exercise of legitimate rights." The Android creator rebuffed ideas that it had damaged Skyhook's finances at all but said that any impact would have been the mobile location tracker's own fault.
The legitimacy of the claim hasn't been completely clear since published e-mails revealed some of Google's motivations. Skyhook made changes to its location system to accommodate requests from Google and may have been the victim of Motorola not passing those changes on to Google before it was rejected. Privately, however, Google was worried Skyhook would reduce the amount of data going to its Wi-Fi location database and admitted that it wanted to use compatibility arguments as a "club" to make Android phone makers follow Google's own goals.
Google may also have contradicted itself. It claimed in the filing that accusations its Android VP Andy Rubin ordered Motorola to stop shipping were "so incomplete and misleading as to be false," but e-mail from the trial has revealed Rubin ordering a "stop ship" for both Motorola and Samsung that delayed the Droid X and most shipments of the Galaxy S.
The trial has drawn attention to Google's assertions of openness. Although it regularly attaches the word to Android, certain parts of the OS have regularly been off-limits. It also rarely takes inputs from outside developers for its source code and has effectively skipped offering Android 3.0 source code altogether, instead opting to wait until the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich release in the fall.
Skyhook has been one of the most popular options for locating phones and other devices and was used for a long time in iOS. Apple still has a relationship with Skyhook even though its main location service is now developed internally.

It's a perfect day when you wake up naturally without an alarm. To arise fully rested, stretch your arms leisurely and yawn. Pondering with a gentle inquisition, "hmmm, what do I feel like doing today?" Rather than the rush of too many responsibilities to juggel comfortably. When fresh vital foods are all that you crave so you make yourself a gorgeous meal to start your day.

Few animals evoke Colorado's rugged and unforgiving mountains like the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. Yet the vertical terrain that keeps sheep safe from predators also limits opportunities for Coloradans to view and appreciate Colorado's state animal. A happy exception for wildlife watchers is Georgetown, where the Town of Georgetown, the Georgetown Trust and Gateway Visitor Center, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) are finalizing preparations for the 8th Annual Georgetown Bighorn Sheep Festival.

|Hematologic scoring system in early diagnosis of sepsis in neutropenic newborns.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8327296 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The hematologic profiles of 1000 newborns were prospectively examined to identify infants with neutropenia (N = 170) according to the system of Manroe et al. (J Pediatr 1979;95:89-98) and to evaluate a hematologic scoring system (Rodwell et al. J Pediatr 1988;112:761-7) as a screening test for sepsis. Neutropenia was more commonly of noninfectious than infectious origin (83.5% vs. 16.5%; P < 0.001). On the initial test a positive screen (scores > or = 3) identified 26 of 28 infants with sepsis or probable infection (sensitivity 93%; specificity 82%; positive and negative predictive values 50 and 98%, respectively). Corresponding values for an elevated immature:total neutrophil ratio were 100, 75, 43 and 100%. Overall mortality with neutropenia was 15% and was higher with an infectious than a noninfectious etiology (39% vs. 11%, P < 0.001) despite early antibiotic therapy. The combination of a neutrophil count < or = 500/mm3 and scores > or = 3 or an elevated immature:total neutrophil ratio identified a poor prognostic group: 67% (8 of 12) and 70% (7 of 10) infants, respectively, with these findings died, 6 in the infected group. The hematologic scoring system or immature:total neutrophil ratio in combination with the degree of neutropenia provides valuable diagnostic and prognostic information which could be applied to identification of possible candidates for granulocyte transfusions or other experimental treatments.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) - Taxpayers are largely footing the bill for public school buses that have to drive farther to transport students attending charter schools.
State officials forced traditional public schools to traverse their cities to pick up and deliver kids to privately run charter schools, often while cutting transportation to their own kids.
Statewide data indicates that it costs about 44 percent more per child to deliver the charter school attendees door to door.
A child attending a traditional public school and transported on a district bus cost on average $4.30 per day in 2012. For a charter-school student, it was $6.18 - or $1.88 more per day.
Since then, 22,000 more kids have been enrolled at the state's charter schools.

Don't feed the animals or pick the flowers
The ecosystem is very fragile, and there are ongoing efforts to remove the iceplant planted by homeowners during the 50s and 60s. The local bunch grasses, lichen & mosses, and delicate flowering plants are often fenced off so now that visitors must walk along boardwalks rather than trudge along sandy trails. Some beaches are fenced, so sea lion colonies can mate without tourists hassling them. But, feel free to visit these areas with your camera. You will find sea otters feeding in the water, and during their migration, whales off shore. The whales, sea otters, and sea lions are no longer endangered along this coast. The foggy weather during June may turn off some tourists, but this provides a major source of water for the vegetation here. In the meadows and forests, deer, foxes, and squirrels are common, but don't feed the animals! The exception are the residential feeders, such as is shown in the photo. This resident feeds the recommended seeds.

Who was SFB Morse?
In Monterey, you will see the name SFB Morse in a few locations. One of the entrances to 17-Mile Drive is on SFB Morse Drive, the SFB Morse Botanical Reserve is an area on Huckleberry Hill in Pebble Beach, and the SFB Morse Memorial lies along 17 Mile Drive. He was also an artist and a few of his sketches, drawings, and paintings adorn walls of buildings in town. Who was SFB Morse?
Samuel Finley Brown Morse is a distant relative of the more famous Samuel Finley Breeze Morse who invented the telegraph and the Morse code. Monterey's SFB Morse was a former Yale football captain, who came to the area in 1908, in 1915 took over large holdings of land on the Monterey Peninsula, and in 1919 created the Del Monte Properties Company. This company created Pebble Beach and owned the Del Monte Hotel (which is now part of the Naval Postgraduate School). "The Duke of Del Monte" lived from 1885 to 1969 and influenced much of the development of the Monterey Peninsula, including the donation of the land on Highway 68 that is now the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula.

Be like a local--build an expensive house!
The average house sales price in Pebble Beach last year was $4.5 million, up from just $1.4 million two years earlier. While the housing market has obviously gone up, you will also see various houses bought and then rebuilt as giant mansions. Some properties, such as one recently listed on Pescadero Point, ask for $28 million or probably even more.
The most expensive properties are all along the water or fronting the golf courses. Other properties in Pebble Beach, such as those on top of Huckleberry Hill are much less expensive, many under $1 million.

I write regarding "An ocean of junk" (Cheers & Jeers, March 7) on the Center for Coastal Studies' recent Derelict Fishing Gear Assessment and Recovery Project, sponsored by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's Fishing For Energy partnership.
This is the third consecutive year the project has been run from MacMillan Wharf in Provincetown, working with commercial vessels from various ports.
The "jeer" threw me off at first, but then I realized it wasn't the gear retrieval program in the hot seat, but the debris itself. "Ghost gear" is certainly a concern for fisheries management, research and industry organizations that must navigate myriad regulatory and social complexities related to handling fishing gear. I have no doubt all or part of the solution will come from within the commercial fishing industry, as no fisherman worth his salt would choose to lose his gear!
However, if the notion of "an ocean of junk" is concerning, I urge anyone interested in the health and welfare of the global seas to start looking for solutions at home. I assure you, the number of plastic bags, bottles, straws and balloons in our waters and on our shores is right up there with the amount of lost fishing gear.

Child Custody and Visitation
Legal Custody
We find that clients often insist on full legal custody (a.k.a sole custody) without understanding the difference between legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody has to do with a parent's right to make significant decisions on behalf of the child or children such as what school or daycare the children will attend. A parent with sole custody has the exclusive legal authority to make significant decisions on behalf of the parties' children.
Because Kentucky's divorce laws and family court judges generally favor both parents being involved in major decisions affecting the children's lives, it is only in extreme cases that a parent is granted sole custody. Usually joint custody is awarded so that both parents can participate in the major decision-making.
Physical Custody
When it comes to physical custody (a.k.a. timesharing or visitation rights), courts rarely ever award truly equal or joint physical custody. Rather, one parent will be the primary physical custodian (a.k.a primary residential custodian), which is simply the parent who the Court decides the children will spend the most time with.
Figuring out and obtaining the most ideal custody and visitation arrangement can be a very complicated and tedious process, though it does not have to be. If the parents agree on custody and visitation, then we can draft the agreement without the need for mediation and/or litigation. If it is clear that an agreement is going to be difficult or impossible to reach, then our firm has experience with extremely complex custody and visitation litigation and we will not hesitate to advocate on your behalf for the custody and visitation / timesharing arrangement that is in the best interest of for you and your child(ren).
Frequently Asked Questions
- What if the court awards joint custody but the other parent and I cannot agree on what school our child will go to or something of that nature?
When parents who share joint custody cannot agree on things such as what school their child or children will attend, or what religion the children will participate in, then it may be necessary to bring the issue before the Court for its ruling. In such situations, our firm uses our experience to analyze and assess the client's situation and then give advice accordingly. If we cannot resolve the situation with the other parent, then we simply take the matter to the Court for its determination on the issue.
- What things will the court consider when determining legal custody?
When determining legal custody, the court essentially has one question that it is concerned with: What custody arrangement is in the best interest of the child or children? KRS 403.270(2) sets forth the various factors Kentucky Courts consider when attempting to determine what custody arrangement it believes will be in the best interest of the child(ren). The factors the court will look at when determining custody include the following:
a. The wishes of the child's parent or parents, and any de facto custodian, as to his custody
b. The wishes of the child as to his custodian.
c. The interaction and interrelationship of the child with his parent or parents, his siblings, and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interests
d. The child's adjustment to his home, school, and community
e. The mental and physical health of all individuals involved
f. Information, records, and evidence of domestic violence as defined in KRS 403.720
g. The extent to which the child has been cared for, nurtured, and supported by any de facto custodian
h. The intent of the parent or parents in placing the child with a de facto custodian
i. The circumstances under which the child was placed or allowed to remain in the custody of a de facto custodian, including whether the parent now seeking custody was previously prevented from doing so as a result of domestic violence as defined in KRS 403.720 and whether the child was placed with a de facto custodian to allow the parent now seeking custody to seek employment, work, or attend school
After two years, the modification is based on what is found to be in the best interest of the child after the court considers the factors set forth in KRS 403.270.
- How can I change from joint custody to sole custody?
If you want to modify your custody arrangement within two years from the date that the initial custody decree was entered, then there are only two ways that the Court will grant modification, as per KRS 403.340(2):
1. The child's present environment may endanger seriously his physical, mental, moral, or emotional health; or
2. The custodian appointed under the prior decree has placed the child with a de facto custodian.
After two years, the modification is based on what is found to be in the best interest of the child after the court considers the factors set forth in KRS 403.270.
- What things will the court consider and not consider when determining physical custody / visitation / timesharing?
The Court will consider almost anything that pertains to the child(ren)'s physical, mental, moral, or emotional health when deciding on a reasonable visitation schedule. The relevant law is set forth in KRS 403.320(1), which states: "A parent not granted custody of the child is entitled to reasonable visitation rights unless the court finds, after a hearing, that visitation would endanger seriously the child's physical, mental, moral, or emotional health. Upon request of either party, the court shall issue orders which are specific as to the frequency, timing, duration, conditions, and method of scheduling visitation and which reflect the development age of the child."
- What do Courts consider to be reasonable visitation / reasonable timesharing?
What constitutes reasonable visitation varies from circumstance to circumstance; however, the general rule of thumb is that if both parents have played a significant role in the children's lives and the Court is not concerned about the moral, physical, or mental safety of the child(ren) in the physical custody of either parent, then something similar to the timesharing guidelines will apply.
- How can I modify my current timesharing or visitation schedule?
Unlike legal custody battles, pursuant to KRS 403.320(3), parents are permitted to bring a visitation or timesharing modification motion before the court whenever the modification would serve the best interest of the children. The relevant statute states: "The court may modify an order granting or denying visitation rights whenever modification would serve the best interests of the child; but the court shall not restrict a parent's visitation rights unless it finds that the visitation would endanger seriously the child's physical, mental, moral, or emotional health."
- Is it possible to get equal timesharing?
Generally speaking, Kentucky's Courts have only implemented equal timesharing when experts have advised it or parents have agreed on it because it is generally viewed as being too disrupting to the children's lives when the time is literally split right down the middle.
One solution that has been offered to minimize the stress the children face in equal timesharing arrangements, as well as the more common unequal arrangements, is the "Birds Nesting" visitation arrangement. Birds Nesting is a visitation arrangement whereby the children stay in the family residence so that instead of the children bouncing back and forth between their parents home, the parents take turns living in the family residence. In other words, the children simply stay at "home" following their parents' separation or divorce while each parent gets his or her own residence and takes turns living with the children at the home the children were raised in pre-divorce.
The idea is that like eggs in a "birds nest," the children remain safely and comfortably at home instead of having to move back and forth between each parent's house, which is thought to minimize the amount of stress and disruption in the children's lives. Of course the arrangement can be expensive as it requires three separate residences. Although the concept has its advantages, it is usually only an option if the parents are in agreement to it.
- Under what circumstances would a parent not get any timesharing at all?
It is only in the most extreme circumstances that a parent who actually wants to be a part of the life of the child(ren) is denied that right. Examples of such extreme circumstances include: murderers, child abusers, molesters, sex offenders, extreme drug addicts, etc. However, even people who fall into one of these categories may be granted supervised timesharing.

BJP MP from Pune, where a techie was bludgeoned to death on Monday allegedly by members of a Hindutva outfit, today created controversy when he said that some repercussions to the Facebook post derogatory of Shivaji and Bal Thackeray was "natural".
"What appeared on Facebook was very painful. Some amount of repercussions was natural," Anil Shirole told reporters outside Parliament.
The trigger for the attack on Shaikh Mohasin Sadiq (28) was apparently uploading of derogatory pictures of warrior king Shivaji and late Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on Facebook by unknown persons, which also led to a protest bandh on Sunday.
At least seven persons who are said to be linked to Hindu Rashtra Sena have been arrested in this connection.
When asked for comments on the involvement of Hindu Rashtra Sena, the BJP MP said, "We will have to find out who are all involved in the matter. Police is probing".
He said Pune is a peaceable city and BJP workers are working to maintain peace in the town.
Sadiq worked in the IT department of a textile firm in Pune. He was thrashed with sticks at Bankar Colony by the accused and succumbed to his injuries during treatment at a hospital, police said.
I have with my own eyes seen a board in a Muslim area in Pune:
"Chhatrapati Sivaji Beef Market"
What the MP said, was twisted by the media to make it sinister. We have seen this behavior of the media since 1998-starting with the Jabhua rapes.
Its no surprise,

Craig Divis is a Social Studies teacher and Department Chair at Bellows Falls Union High School. He was named the 2010 Vermont Teacher of the Year and was also recognized as a 2011-2012 Fulbright Distinguished Teacher. Craig also works with the Governor's Institute on Asian Cultures.
The Common Core has influenced and will continue to influence my teaching in many ways. As a Social Studies teacher, it has confirmed the approach that I have always taken towards teaching by focusing more on skills than specific content-area facts and details. It has led me to re-examine the activities, assignments, and assessments that I use in my class to ensure that it is designed to build skills that students will need in "real world" once they graduate.
I focus more on building skills like critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity now. While a specific assignment might still be related to a historical era or event, it is also specifically intended to help build skills around analyzing documents, comparing and contrasting, or making a persuasive argument. This approach allows me to help prepare students to succeed in college, career, and life. For example, while the concepts behind a specific historical event like the French Revolution are still important, I am now approaching it differently. Names and dates were never part of how I taught history, so these standards support that philosophy by stressing students understanding the broader context of the event and its impact today. The Common Core is meant to prepare students not to be historians, but to learn the skills necessary to be successful in any career that they choose to enter.
I see the Common Core as a positive development in education for students in Vermont and the U.S. Our students today will be competing for jobs that don't even exist yet, and so it is our job as educators to prepare them with the skills necessary for any career they may enter. The Common Core will help our students be successful and competitive in our rapidly changing world.

Quarterback Rob Bolden is reportedly transferring from LSU.
LSU has lost yet another reserve quarterback. Senior Rob Bolden has decided to leave LSU and is expected to transfer to Eastern Michigan, according to several media outlets.
Bolden, a former starter at Penn State, transferred to LSU before the 2012 season after the Jerry Sandusky scandal and red-shirted that season. He did not play last season and was moved to wide receiver for spring football. Bolden was listed as a quarterback in LSU depth charts at the SEC Media Days. He will have one year of eligibility left.
Prior to Bolden leaving, LSU lost reserve quarterbacks Stephen Rivers and Hayden ...

Take a Mini Break from Work or Study
February 25, 2010
Even a few minutes is enough to relax and release tension. Our latest podcast episode, Mini Break from Work or Study, is a short meditation you can use when you have just a few minutes to spare. It guides you through a process that you can use anytime, even when you don't have your mp3 player with you.
After you've done it a few times, your body will remember to use it to relax. Similar in length to the Deep Relaxation Meditation in our first podcast episode, this meditation has a different approach. You'll be guided to let go of your work, stretch, take some deep breaths and do a quick body scan with tension release. I think you'll be impressed with how much difference a little time away from work or studies can make.
If you can take a little time here and there to relax, it can make a big difference. Making it a habit to take breaks throughout the day can really reduce your stress. I have to remind myself to do this all the time. It's so easy to get caught up in the sense of urgency about getting things done. You may feel you can't afford to take the time, but you really can't afford not to! When you take time off to "reset", you'll be able to accomplish a lot more. When you feel clear and relaxed, everything goes better!

I love this podcast, but it's frustrating to always have announcements at the beginning of meditations. Especially this episode, there's a full minute of talking about iPhone apps…

Thanks for the feedback, Sarah. We plan on taking that announcement off of the beginning of this episode in a couple weeks. We couldn't think of any other way to reach people with this message (which is important for iPod Touch users with the app). So in the not too distant future you'll have the meditation without the long announcement.

Hi there, I thought I'd just add the obvious, that perhaps during work is one of the most important times of all to take min-breaks for meditation, as it's a pretty tough call for half an hour of meditation in the evening to make up for 8 hours plus of continuous stress during the day! If you can take mini-breaks (I personally go to the toilet 2 or 3 times during the day, and sit there meditating for five minutes!) then the whole experience of work will likely be transformed, and meditation in the evening doesn't have to so much of an antidote as instead a continuation.
thanks for this meditation Mary

Absolutely! Thank you so much for adding this comment on the seemingly obvious. I feel we need to be reminded over and over of the most basic things, and this is so well put. It's great that you take those breaks everyday — what a difference that makes. You can get "reset" each time you do that.
You are welcome for the meditation, Chodpa…

Thank you so much for this. It's a very handy tool for me to use, especially when work is as hectic as it has been lately! I also find this useful to put on in the car BEFORE work, after i park up 10 minutes early.
Thanks again.

The latest news and insights from Hanley Wood's outspoken experts and key thought-leaders throughout the residential and commercial design and construction industry.
Nobody Cares About Your Values
Jonathan Raymond / EMyth.com / August 12, 2013
"Values" have gone viral, and not necessarily in a good way. The process of discovering and clarifying your values and building your business based on them is a deeply personal one, but the cynical marketers among us have other designs. If they have their way, and they will, saying you have 'strong core values' will mean about as much as saying your product is 'natural.' That's actually good news.
Good marketers understand social and cultural trends. They understand that people – especially the most important consumer generation ever don't just want to feel emotionally connected to a brand, they demand to feel that way. But what marketers don't appreciate is how much work it takes to actually be one of those brands. And there's your opportunity.
You can build and run a great business and let your values speak for themselves. Because nobody cares about your values. What people care about is whether you embody them. What they tell their friends about is when your business gives them an experience that has value. For them.
What you say your company values are is irrelevant. What matters is whether people can experience them.

Buying a 1 Carat Diamond Ring
Posted By Beverly A. Guy On May 18, 2012 @ 2:03 pm In Engagement Rings,Jewelry Guide,Wedding Jewelry | Comments Disabled
Selecting any piece of fine jewelry isn't something to do on a whim, especially if it includes a sizeable gemstone. Here's what to look for when buying a 1 carat diamond ring.
When you're in the market for a 1 carat diamond ring, it's essential to understand the quality of the diamond you're considering. The 4 Cs of diamonds can provide valuable information to help you make an informed decision:
One of the most important factors in buying a 1 carat diamond ring (or any diamond ring) is to choose a jeweler that you trust. Be sure you're aware of a retailer's customer service policies before you buy, including their return policy and any warranties they offer. Look for a jeweler that's willing to stand behind what they sell by the service they offer. For example, Apples of Gold offers a 45-day return policy and a 90-day warranty on all jewelry, as well as a 365-day warranty on all wedding bands.
Price is also an important factor when buying a 1 carat diamond ring. While any diamond ring of quality will cost more than mere pennies, do your homework to make sure that you're getting a good value. Apples of Gold is committed to value pricing and by eliminating the middle man, they're able to set their prices an average of 40 percent lower than average retail prices.
Selecting a 1 carat diamond ring is no small decision! However, by considering the 4 Cs, as well as the jeweler and the price, you can buy with confidence.

Today's business environment is constantly shifting, as more people turn to online conferencing solutions instead of relying on traditional brick-and-mortar office meetings. This transition to virtual conferencing and collaboration allows for a more global business environment where people can meet online to share ideas and files regardless of their location.
By embracing these capabilities, businesses are now able to meet with employees, co-workers, customers and clients nearly anywhere at any time. Web conferencing solutions provide the tools necessary to facilitate collaboration, training and brainstorming.
While a phone conference is occasionally a sensible option for short conversations, this method isn't sufficient when visuals and/or files need to be shared. Features such as screen sharing, video chats, file sharing and whiteboards help businesses make the most of their time together online.
Consider these options for your virtual meetings and web conferences, noting not only the cost of each tool, but also the features available that will best meet your needs.
Cisco's solution for virtual meeting software is one of the most popular because of its reliability and wide range of services, including screen sharing, file sharing and HD video. WebEx's suite of virtual tools includes a meeting center, an event center, a training center and more. The software has options for automated meeting reminders and post-meeting reports for each user. WebEx can be accessed through any device connected to an internet server, including smartphones and tablets, making it one of the most convenient options available.
Cost: Prices start at 33 cents per minute and $49/month per host for flat-rate packages.
Another popular web-based option, GoToMeeting provides the tools needed to host online meetings with up to 25 people. The video and audio conferencing tools, as well as the screen-sharing capabilities, work on almost any device, including most tablets. These tools are good for webinar and training services, allowing the host to walk other meeting participants through the material directly from their computer screen.

TRD 2 Densitometer
- by Phil Davis
Most large format photographers will agree that exposure meters are valuable tools for measuring light intensity or subject luminance, and most use them regularly. Similarly, densitometers are valuable for measuring negative and print densities for the purpose of process control - but very few photographers own them. Why?
There are at least three good reasons:
1. Lack of need. The vast majority or photographers aren't involved in darkroom work to any significant degree, so they have no use for densitometers.
2. Lack of information. Many photographers who might find densitometers helpful if they were aware of the potential benefits, donÕt understand what sensitometry can do for them, and aren't motivated to investigate.
3. Cost. Densitometers have always seemed outrageously expensive. The best argument in favor of densitometers is that they provide objective information about materials' characteristics and process behavior. Photographers who comprehend the significance of this information and bother to apply it, can save both time and supplies, and gain better control of the processes than is otherwise likely. In other words, densitometers are to photographers what tape measures and levels are to carpenters; certainly you can get along without them, but they make your work easier and more efficient.
Black-and-white densitometers are most useful to that relatively small subset of photographers who work in large format black-and-white and who are seriously interested in increasing their ability to predict and control the quality of their photographs. The connection is clear: image quality depends to a considerable degree on gradation; gradation is controlled to a large extent by the characteristics of film, film developer, and paper; and densitometers can analyze these characteristics with precision. "Knowledge is power," they say, and that certainly applies here. The information that densitometers can proved can unquestionably make you a better technician, and quite possibly - if you have the soul of an aesthete - a more confident artist as well.
A similar film test, analyzed in this case with a transmission densitometer, can provide reliable exposure and development data that you can use to produce negatives that closely ÒmatchÓ your chosen paper. Again, inspection of the film curves' contours can suggest their affect on print image gradation.
These relatively simple, economical test will show you that papers and films are not all alike; each has a "personality" that will influence the look of your prints. If you recognize the importance of these differences and study them, you can predict what their combined effects are likely to be. By revealing these materials' characteristics clearly and efficiently, densitometers can help you choose the combination of film, developer, and paper that is most likely to provide the image quality that you want.
These objective measurement techniques are equally applicable to such specialized darkroom procedures as making duplicate or enlarged negatives for non-silver printing. Platinum, kallitype, and photogravure are examples of historic processes that lend themselves to sensitometric analysis and control. In the cases of platinum/palladium and gravure, especially, the potential savings in expensive materials alone is a persuasive argument for sensitometry.
But despite this promise of materials' savings, it's been difficult in the past for non-professionals to justify the purchase of a densitometer because of the initial cost. It's unlikely that in any reasonable period of time, sensitometry can save enough in materials' expense to pay for a $3,500 instrument, even if your chosen materials are precious platinum salts or gravure copper.
To address this problem, simple black-and-white transmission densitometers have appeared on the market from time to time that cost less than $1,000. Of these, even the ones that are reliable enough to be useful solve only half the problem, because we need to be able to measure both negatives and print densities to establish reliable control procedures. Owning a transmission densitometer alone is like having only one shoe - it's certainly better than none, but definitely awkward.
Enter the Heiland
The TRD 2 is about 7 1/2 inches long, 4 1/2 inches wide, and 5 1/2 inches high, and weighs about two pounds. The hinged arm is about 5 1/2 inches long and has sufficient throat clearance to permit reading to the center of an 8 1/2 inch circle - enough to handle 8x10 negatives comfortably. The detachable power cord plugs into a socket on the back of the base, but there is no "off" switch - you have to pull the plug to power the unit down completely. A small slide switch on the right side of the base is used to select the operating modes - "R" for reflection and "T" for transmission. The "O" (the center position) is the standby setting that maintains power to keep the unit warmed up and the lamps disabled.
The specification sheet lists the transmission aperture as 2mm and, in this basic model, the aperture is not replaceable. Pressing the arm down on the film sample (against what seems to be unnecessarily strong spring pressure) turns on the reading light in the base. The density value is displayed in bright red numerals, to 2-decimal precision, in a prominent panel on the front of the arm. The performance specifications are conservative: the manual claims reading accuracy of +/- (1% + 0.02logD), which suggests that an actual density of 2.0, for example, might read as anything between 1.96 and 2.04. In my tests the accuracy was considerably better than that. Repeat accuracy is +/-0.01. The maximum rated transmission density is 3.5, but the instrument will actually read to 4.0 at 2% accuracy.
Converting the instrument to take reflection readings is just a matter of flipping the selector switch to "R". In that mode, lowering the arm turns on a lamp in the arm itself, and the light is beamed down onto the reading area at a 45 degree angle, a standard arrangement for reflection density readings. The maximum reflection density limit is said to be 2.5, which would be more than sufficient for reading any silver print density. As is the case with transmission readings, the readout is virtually instantaneous. In both operating modes, pressing a red button on the top surface of the arm will zero the instrument; the display flashes "-888" when the measurable reading limit is exceeded. This is a useful alert that's considerably better than simply providing a false value.
The Heiland designers have recognized that it is often very difficult to place a sample density area precisely in the reading area when the area is not illuminated, so they've arranged to switch on the appropriate lamp when the arm is depressed halfway. This makes it easy to identify the reading area visually, at least for reflection and medium density transmission samples, but positioning heavily dense transmission samples properly over the aperture is still a guessing game.
Although illuminating the reading area this way is generally helpful, there's a slight downside: you may be tempted to accept the density reading that is displayed as soon as the light is turned on. That would be premature, because the reading is not accurate until the arm is depressed fully. This is a relatively minor matter, but it is worth remembering that the armÕs return spring is strong, and that it takes firm pressure to get a correct reading.
The instructions recommend plugging the power cord in at least two minutes before you plan to use the instrument, and I found that the readings were stable after a short warm-up period. I did have to correct the zero adjustment occasionally at first, but it had never drifted by more than 0.01, and required no further attention after about the first half-hour of operation. I was surprised and pleased to find that after leaving the instrument on standby overnight, readings taken ten hours apart agreed exactly.
I was disturbed initially to discover that the TRD 2's transmission readings were consistently a little lower - and reflection readings a bit higher - than the values given by the two densitometers I own, despite the fact that all three instruments appeared to be calibrated accurately to their own calibration slips. The fact that they didn't agree with each other's calibrated test densities suggested that the companies may be using different calibration methods.
Pursuing this further, I tested all three densitometers with calibration strips supplied by several other manufacturers, and found variations that were not consistent enough to be conclusive. Finally, I checked the machines with a precision NIST (National Institute of Science and Technology) step tablet, and discovered that they were more or less straddling the precise density values - my densitometers were reading a little too high, and the Heiland, though closer, was a bit low. In fact, though, it was well within its published specifications, and when I used its exposure and development test data in a series of field tests, the resulting negatives were excellent. I have now calibrated my own machines to the NIST standard.
As a result of these findings, I consider the slight calibration differences mentioned above to be inconsequential. The lesson here is that densitometers frequently disagree to some extent, so, even though the differences are small, it's best not to combine readings from different instruments in a single test series.
The calibration strips supplied with the TRD 2 appear to be intended for information only, because there are no calibration controls for user adjustment. If the instrument needs calibration, it, along with its calibration strips, must be returned to the factory in Germany, or to an authorized service center here in the states, presently in Colorado. The densitometer is fully guaranteed from one year from the purchase date and will be repaired or replaced, free of charge, if it fails in that time period.
and simplicity
In short, the Heiland TRD 2 is a surprisingly capable and sophisticated instrument for its price, and, on the basis of its clean design, and its excellent performance in my tests, I can recommend it to any photographer who is seriously interested in using real sensitometric test and analysis methods to gain greater understanding of materials' capabilities, and greater control of the black-and-white process.

Cute as a Button
Nom nom nom nom.....
Taylor is also a very sexy guy with a great muscular body that I'm sure turns many girls on. I'd also like to meet him & if I did I'd feel very cause I've never met anyone famous in my life. Even though I don't know much about him he seems like an easy going person with a great smile tht makes me smile just by looking at him in his pictures. Taylor is the second person I'd want to meet in my life , I'd also feel extremely for just having a day with him also other then Robert Pattinson.:)
taylor is so cute bye
