Taken on west coast of Clare, Ireland. Sunny conditions and tricky to avoid harsh shadows and flare. Canon 17-55, ND grad. What do you think of the composition? Image from camera came out a little flat and colourless and needed a boost in RAW processing and Photoshop. I'm curious to know what are your favourite techniques to enhance blueness and contrast in a sky if it appears a bit insipid? Has my effort succeeded at all?

beautiful shot, wouldn't really change it. Maybe to monochrome, with a very low contrast and warm tones, but it wouldn't fit to the title

A strong composition with the water leading you into the frame from the green foreground.
With no exif data uploaded its hard to comment on exposure choice of ISO, aperture and shutter speed however it looks like it needs a smaller aperture to give enough depth of field to keep the image sharp from front to back. An image like this needs that sharpness as your brought through the image to the rocks and horizon which here are slightly soft.
At the taking stage the graduated ND filter allows you to balance the exposure between land and sky however if you wish to enhance the blues a polarising filter would have helped too. It would also subtlety darken the green algae too reducing the yellowness.
In processing using editing software such as photoshop you can also select individual colour channels in saturation and use the sliders to increase or decrease that particular colour.
Also worth playing around in levels here and using a layer mask to help reduce the contrast selectively to pull up a little more detail in the shadow areas.
Nonetheless a pleasing image that with a little work to manage the contrast and a bit more depth of field would take it from good to great.
I hope that helps and answers your question.

Editor's note: Ever since the US Supreme Court handed down the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, abortion has been legal in every state of the union. But that's to say nothing of the rest of the world. We asked GlobalPost correspondents from Cairo to Caracas to assess abortion rights where they are.
United States
At the time of Roe v. Wade, women all over the US rejoiced that it would no longer be necessary to risk death with an illegal procedure or make a mad dash to New York - which in 1970 legalized abortion up to the 24th week of pregnancy.
Today, abortion is, for the majority of Americans, a settled question. According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, 63 percent of Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade.
But the controversy lives on. With the rise of the Tea Party in 2009, nearly every major political candidate is vetted on his or her stance toward abortion.

Gaza: Parting Shot
5 comments:
What he is saying is that there is no solution, it will get worse and worse. Of course, he approvingly quotes your solution of "finding out what it is they really want and paying them enough to get them to decide to quit firing rockets". Of course, as has been pointed out before, there is no chance of this happening. Unlike the Israeli secular Left, they are not running a country simply in order to line their pockets...they are agents of Islamic Imperialism, and they are allies of the Iranians, who have no interest in "calm" here. They can put enough money in the HAMAS leaders' pockets for them to open Swiss bank accounts and drive around in Mercedes and BMW's no less than the FATAH people have been doing up until now. What they "really want" is an ongoing war of attrition which they (wrongly) think they are winning. Don't forget our Egyptian "friends" want the same thing, as long as it doesn't boomerang back on themselves, as it might have when the border was blown open, but it seems the Egyptians have that problem now under control, and HAMAS understands it should direct its violence against Israel and not its Egyptian patrons.
The Israeli gov't will attempt to delay any action as long as possible, holding out mythological defense systems like the "Iron Dome" bluff to make the population put up with the ongoing terror from the rockets. The Israeli population, since Oslo, has become passive and fatalistic, thanks to endless propaganda efforts by people like yourself (e.g "There is no solution to terror except negotiations", or "the other side must have some price, we just have to find out what it is").
Ultimately, eventually, Israel will have to do what it did in the past....reconquer Gaza, and rebuild the Jewish settlements of Gush Katif. I don't know when this will occur, it could take years and many casualties on both sides, but it WILL happen. Only then will the Arab/Muslims realize that Israeli is serious, Israel is here to stay, Israel will NOT be defeated in a war of attrition and that violence doesn't pay for them, as it has handsomely until now due to Israel's carrying out the foolish policies it has since Oslo in 1993.

Bernie: Did you post the article about the Orthodox Union protesting the prize for Zev Sternhell because he said "if the Palestinians had any sense (according to Sternhell's definition of "sense") they would limit their attacks to Jews in the settlements", because you agree with Sternhell, or because you agree with the OU?
If my hunch is correct, and you agree with Sternhell (please correct me if I am wrong), then the "sense" Sternhell has in his head is not that of the terrorists. Why? Because they don't view the Judea/Samaria settlements as being illegal, they view the entire state of Israel as being illegal, including the "illegal settlement" of Tel Aviv, and they view you, me and Sternhell as invaders to their turf.
Sternhell himself wrote that the Holocaust "justifies" stealing Arab land UP TO THE GREEN LINE, but any Jewish presence beyond that is "immoral, imperialist aggression, criminal, blah, blah, blah". However, the Arabs don't follow Sternhells twisted logic about the land INSIDE the Green Line. After, it was Ahmedinejad who asked why the Palestinians should give their land to to Jews because of the Holocaust in Europe?
If your view of being Jewish is, as you posted earlier, restricted to being "someone who likes fruit salad instead of Jello", then I think they have a legitimate question. Fortunately, at least some of us Israelis know what being a Jew means and do not feel "liberal guilt" about our 4000 year-long continuous connection with the country.

Seattle, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - "Beast Mode" needed a big push to score his first touchdown.
The Seattle Seahawks needed a little extra to get past the winless Oakland Raiders in the rain.
Marshawn Lynch scored two touchdowns in the first half, the first after his teammates shoved him into the end zone, and the Seahawks recovered an onside kick at the end of the game to hold off the Raiders for a 30-24 win on Sunday.
Lynch's two scores and Bruce Irvin's 35-yard touchdown on an interception return helped the Seahawks (5-3) build a 24-3 lead in the first half.
Later, a couple of Steven Hauschka field goals in the fourth quarter gave them the cushion they needed after the Raiders (0-8) scored two touchdowns in the third, including one on a blocked punt.
Derek Carr's second 1-yard touchdown pass to Mychal Rivera came with 1:52 left in the game but the Raiders couldn't recover an onside kick attempt even after it went through the hands of Seattle tight end Cooper Helfet.
"We played so well in the first half," said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. "Then we ran into some problems, a bunch of three-and-outs, we had a punt blocked -- some things that are uncharacteristic of what we normally do. ... So to get the win and keep moving forward, I'm feeling really good about how hard we played. We accomplished something really good today."
Lynch had 21 carries and five catches for 143 combined yards for the Seahawks, who played at CenturyLink Field for the first time since a 30-23 loss to Dallas on Oct. 12. They haven't dropped back-to-back games at home in more than two years.
The Raiders have lost 14 in a row going into next Sunday's game against Peyton Manning and AFC West-leading Denver. Carr passed for 194 yards and threw two interceptions that led to 10 Seattle points in the first half.
Russell Wilson passed for 179 yards and rushed for another 31 for Seattle, which stayed within two games of NFC West-leading Arizona.
The Raiders got a boost four plays into the second half when Denico Autry squeezed through the line at the Seattle 37 to block Jon Ryan's punt and Brice Butler fell on the ball in the end zone, trimming Seattle's lead to 24-10.
Later, the Raiders took a chance on fourth down at the 1-yard line and Carr rolled right to find Rivera, who leapt to make the catch in the back of the end zone despite tight coverage by Richard Sherman.
But Lynch's 39-yard catch-and-run led to Steven Hauschka's 30-yard field goal on the second play of the fourth quarter and Hauschka's third field goal of the game -- from 40 yards -- pushed Seattle's lead to 30-17 with 9:19 to play.
Carr's pass to Rivera in the left side of the end zone gave the Raiders a shot, but Jermaine Kearse recovered the onside kick attempt after Helfet dropped it.
"We came here to win a football game. We didn't come here to come close," said Raiders interim coach Tony Sparano. "The bottom line is, if you turn the ball over three times in the first half and you're playing catch-up against a good team like this on the road in their environment, it makes it really hard to (win)."
Earlier, after Sebastian Janikowski kicked a 48-yard field goal on the game's first drive, Lynch gave Seattle the lead on a 3-yard run at the other end that was more a team effort than usual.
Lynch was initially stopped by safety Charles Woodson and linebacker Sio Moore just past the line of scrimmage, but he kept moving his legs, even as tackle Pat Sims had a hold of his right foot. Several Seattle linemen and wide receiver Ricardo Lockette helped push Lynch into the end zone in a pile.
Irvin tipped a pass to himself and beat Carr to the end zone for his 35-yard interception return, which gave Seattle a 14-3 lead on the final play of the first quarter.
It was the first of three straight turnovers forced by the Seahawks.
"Offensively we know we can play better. I know I can play better," said Wilson. "The defense played spectacularly today. They made a lot of plays. Offensively we just have to click better."
Sherman intercepted Carr near the right sideline to set up Hauschka's 34-yard field goal and Hauschka recovered a fumble on the ensuing kickoff after Kearse stripped T.J. Carrie. That led to a 46-yard miss by Hauschka.
Lynch had a much easier 5-yard touchdown run with 54 seconds left in the first half, bursting through a big hole to give Seattle a 24-3 lead, which stood at the break after Janikowski pulled a 51-yard field goal try wide right.
Seattle hasn't lost consecutive games at home since falling to Atlanta and
Cincinnati on Oct. 2 and 30, 2011 ... Oakland's last win came at Houston on
Nov. 17 last year.

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- The United States will go with a new-look roster Thursday against Finland. Among the changes is a heavyweight line that features Henrik Samuelsson centering left wing Boo Nieves and right wing Adam Erne.
Anthony Stolarz will start in goal for the U.S., with Thatcher Demko backing up. Coach Don Lucia did not attend the morning skate for extra players, so there's no way of knowing if Stolarz will play the full game, or split time similar to how Lucia used Jon Gillies and Demko on Wednesday against Sweden.
For Finland, Olli Maatta will miss his second straight game. Also sitting out is Samu Markkula. Joonas Korpisalo will start in goal.
Here are the lineups each team will use Thursday:
Jake Guentzel - Dominic Toninato - Michael McCarron
Boo Nieves - Henrik Samuelsson - Adam Erne
Tyler Motte - J.T. Compher - Hudson Fasching
Thomas Di Pauli - Andrew Copp - Zach Stepan
Ian McCoshen - Michael Brodzinski

Diabetes in America has more than just gotten out of hand, experts say. It is now considered an epidemic. Until people make real changes in their lifestyles, this epidemic will only get worse.
As of 2011, the population of Montgomery County was 133,680. Of that number, 10,427 have diabetes, or 7.8 percent. But just as significant, and also troubling, is that one-fourth, or 2,607 of that number, do not even know they have diabetes. In that group of 2,607 people are those who don't know or understand the warning signs of diabetes, are not knowledgeable of how diabetes affects other body systems, ...

SANTA FE >> The New Mexico Department of Health announced today a confirmed case of plague in a 52-year-old man from Santa Fe County. Confirmatory testing was performed at the Department's Scientific Laboratory Division. This is the third human case of plague in New Mexico and in the United States this year. An environmental investigation will take place at the man's home to look for ongoing risk to others in the surrounding area.
"Whenever there is a human case of plague the Department takes several steps to ensure the safety of the immediate family, neighbors, and health care providers," said Department of Health Secretary Retta Ward, MPH. "We inform neighbors door-to-door about plague found in the area and educate them on reducing their risk. We determine whether individuals close to the patient may also have been exposed to the plague and recommend preventative treatment when necessary."
The Department's investigation also includes:
• Alerting physicians and veterinarians that plague is in the area, making sure they contact the Department of Health if they have a suspect case of plague, and offering the services of the Department's Scientific Laboratory if they need to test for a suspect case of plague in either humans or animals.
• Conducting an environmental investigation at the most likely place of exposure, looking for signs of a plague die-off in rodents, infected fleas in nearby rodent burrows, or evidence of recent intrusion by rodents or fleas into the home, either through holes in the walls or by the family dog or cat.
Plague is a bacterial disease of rodents and is generally transmitted to humans through the bites of infected fleas, but can also be transmitted by direct contact with infected animals, including rodents, wildlife and pets.
"We are seeing plague activity in several different locations of north-central New Mexico," said Dr. Paul Ettestad, public health veterinarian at the Department of Health. "Everyone needs to be aware of the situation and take precautions to avoid rodents and their fleas."
To prevent plague, the Department of Health also recommends:
• Keep your pets from roaming and hunting
• Clean up areas near the house where rodents could live, such as woodpiles, brush piles, junk and abandoned vehicles.
• Sick pets should be examined promptly by a veterinarian.
• See your doctor about any unexplained illness involving a sudden and severe fever.
• Put hay, wood, and compost piles as far as possible from your home.
• Don't leave your pet's food and water where mice can get to it.
Symptoms of plague in humans include sudden onset of fever, chills, headache, and weakness. In most cases there is a painful swelling of the lymph node in the groin, armpit or neck areas. Plague symptoms in cats and dogs are fever, lethargy and loss of appetite. There may be a swelling in the lymph node under the jaw. With prompt diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment, the fatality rate in people and pets can be greatly reduced. Physicians who suspect plague should promptly report to the New Mexico Department of Health.
The first two human plague cases in New Mexico this year were in 15-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl, both from Torrance County. Both have recovered. There was one human plague case in New Mexico in 2012, two human cases of plague in 2011, no cases in 2010, and six human cases of plague in 2009, one of them fatal.
For more information, including fact sheets in English and Spanish, go to the Department of Health's website at: http://nmhealth.org/ERD/HealthData/plague.shtml

I'm using a 7" Lilliput EBY-701 (2008 model) I got from ebay, and a plastic double DIN frame from bybyte.com. It is very very close to Double DIN spec, only 7mm higher than spec (its 107mm high). I had to do some minor mods to my Metra Double DIN dash kit to fit it. Width-wise it is direct bolt in, it is the hieght that is just slightly over spec.
Good Luck.

Sun sports guru Dave Selvig has agreed to assist head coach his 10-year-old daughter's basketball team.
Good for him, I myself coached a number of successful soccer teams in the past and found it worthwhile and rewarding.
Selvig certainly think he knows all there is to know about basketball, but does he know the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness?
Ron Swanson, the best character in the TV show "Parks and Recreation" coached a basketball team once and he based his choices on the pyramid.
Also I will be taking donations to purchase Selvig a similar Bob Knight sweater, let me know if you are interested.
UPDATE: When asked why he is doing this Selvig responded, "My ultimate goal is to hang a championship banner in Jamestown."

IOF honours PhD student
Haslinda Gould wins Young Investigator Award.
Geelong-based researcher Miss Haslinda Gould has won international recognition by being awarded one of eight International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) Young Investigator Awards.
Haslinda received her award at the recent joint annual scientific meeting of the Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society (ANZBMS), Japanese Society of Bone and Mineral Research (JSBMR) and the IOF held on the Gold Coast.
Her award winning work entitled Normative ultrasound data for population-based Australian men and women: the Geelong Osteoporosis Study.
"It is important that both the quantity and quality of bone be monitored over time, especially in older people," said Haslinda, a PhD student working in the Barwon Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit at Geelong Hospital, a partnership between Barwon Health and Deakin University's School of Medicine.
Her work also involves the University of Melbourne's NorthWest Academic Centre, Department of Medicine.
"Currently the gold standard technique for the clinical assessment of bone mass is dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) which measures the quantity of bone in terms of bone mineral density (BMD). However, there is limited access to DXA in some populations," she said.
"Ultrasound performed at the heel has been suggested as an alternative or adjunct to DXA; it measures bone quality and it is safer, cheaper, faster and more portable than DXA.
"Often an individual's BMD is used to inform the clinical decision to prescribe preventative treatment for fracture. Comparing an individual's bone quality, measured using ultrasound at the heel, to a young adult reference standard, may improve fracture risk assessment; the development of appropriate reference or normative data will make this comparison possible.
"To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the first heel ultrasound reference ranges for the Australian population.
"It is important that the investigation into more effective and equitable ways to assess fracture risk continues."
Haslina gained her honours degree in Science at the University of Melbourne before beginning her PhD in Geelong.
She works under the supervision of Deakin University's Associate Professor Julie Pasco at Barwon Health, with the Barwon Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit in Kitchener House. At the heart of the unit lies the Geelong Osteoporosis Study (GOS), an umbrella term for a program of research involving large case-control and prospective population-based studies in both men and women.
The primary focus of the GOS is to describe the burden of osteoporosis in the general population and to identify risk factors for fracture. The study was initiated in 1993; since then 1700 women and 1500 men, randomly-selected from the electoral rolls, return to the study centre at Barwon Health every few years to have their health monitored.
The scope of the GOS has expanded over time to study the causes of other disorders including obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, coeliac disease, wheat atopy and psychiatric illness. More recently, Haslinda has helped to develop a research program which examines risk factors for the assessment of elderly Australians for aged care services.

Political parties
The Labour Progressive Party was the legal political organization of the Communist Party of Canada between 1943 and 1959.
Origins and initial success[edit]
When the Communist Party of Canada was banned in 1940, it refounded itself as the Labour-Progressive Party (LPP) in 1943 after the release of Communist Party leaders from internment. Only one LPP Member of Parliament (MP) was elected under that banner, Fred Rose, who was elected in a 1943 by-election in Montreal and sat in the House of Commons. In 1947, he was charged and convicted for spying for the Soviet Union, and was expelled from the House of Commons.
Dorise Nielson was elected to the House of Commons in the 1940 federal election from Saskatchewan as a "Progressive Unity" MP, and declared her affiliation to the LPP when it was founded in August 1943. She was defeated in the 1945 election when she ran for re-election as an LPP candidate.
Provincial campaigns[edit]
In Ontario, two LPP members, A. A. MacLeod and J. B. Salsberg, sat in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1943 to 1951 and 1955 respectively. The LPP also jointly nominated several Liberal-Labour candidates with the Ontario Liberal Party.
The Manitoba party had amongst its leading members Jacob Penner who was a popular aldermen in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as well as W. A. Kardash who was a Manitoba Member of the Legislative Assembly.
The party also ran candidates in Quebec general elections from 1944 to 1956 as the Parti ouvrier-progressiste.
The leader of the party was Tim Buck. Other prominent members were Margaret Fairley, Stewart Smith, Stanley Ryerson and Sam Carr.
Municipal strength[edit]
The LPP had strong pockets of support in working-class neighbourhoods of Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg as well as in the Crowsnest Pass mining region of Alberta and British Columbia[1] elected a number of its members to local city councils and school boards. In Winnipeg, Jacob Penner was a long-time member of the city council while Joe Zuken sat on the school board. In Toronto, Ryerson, Carr and Charles Simms and Norman Freed served as aldermen while Smith was elected to the city's powerful Board of Control.
From 1944 to 1947, Helen Anderson Coulson sat on Hamilton's City Council as an Alderman (from 1944–1946) and, after the 1946 municipal election, as a member of the city's highest decision making body, the Board of Control.[1] She played a significant role in the Stelco Strike of 1946, and paid for her stances in the 1947 election, being shut out of the 4-person body after receiving the second highest number of votes in 1946.[2] She would unsuccessfully seek election numerous times over the next decade, most prominently opposing Mayor Lloyd Jackson in 1950.[3]
World War II[edit]
Following the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, the Canadian Communist Party reversed its earlier position urging Canadian neutrality in World War II and instead urged full support for the Canadian war effort. The party formed the "Tim Buck Plebiscite Committees" urging support for conscription in the 1942 referendum. After the vote the committees were renamed the Dominion Communist – Labour Total War Committee and were the main public face of the Communist Party, and became the main wartime activity of the Labour-Progressive Party, helping it raise its profile and encouraging the federal government to release Communist leaders who had been detained early in the war.
Cold War[edit]
The LPP faced repression during the Cold War as anti-Communist sentiment increased in Canada, particularly after the revelations of Igor Gouzenko following his defection from the Soviet embassy in Ottawa. Gouzenko's revelations led to the downfall of Fred Rose. Nevertheless, the party continued to elect a handful of members to provincial legislatures, city councils and school boards across Canada well into the 1950s.
1956–1957 crisis[edit]
An almost fatal blow for the party was the crisis that enveloped it following Nikita Khrushchev's Secret Speech to the Twentieth Party Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary, the first event shattered the faith many LPP members had in the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin while the second caused many to doubt that the USSR had truly changed. Aggravated as well by revelations of widespread anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union (a serious blow to Jewish members of the LPP such as Salsberg and Robert Laxer), the party underwent a serious split with more than half of its membership including many in the leadership, including Salsberg, Stewart Smith, Harry Binder, Sam Lipshitz and other prominent LPP leaders, ultimately leaving with the remaining party being a remnant of what it once had been. The United Jewish Peoples' Order, which had been one of the largest organizations allied with the LPP, broke with the party in December 1956 as a result of Salsberg's revelations after his fact-finding mission to the USSR to investigate reports of systemic anti-Semitism and repression of Jewish culture.[4]
The LPP last ran a federal candidate in a December 1958 by-election and ran nine candidates in the 1959 Ontario election. Shortly thereafter, it renamed itself the Communist Party of Canada once again.
The LPP had a youth wing, the National Federation of Labour Youth which had formerly been known as the Young Communist League. The NFLY was renamed the Socialist Youth League of Canada in the 1950s but became defunct later in the decade due to internal party turmoil.

Finally Free chronicles his years growing up in a poverty-stricken neighborhood, his success on the field and his rise to stardom in the NFL. The book also details how a gifted athlete spiraled out of control under the glare of money and fame and the brokenness that brought his redemption. In his own words, here are the behind-the- scenes details of his wrong decisions, his fall from the spotlight, his search for forgiveness, and the unexpected, life-altering grace he received on the way to a fairy tale season with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2010.

Noxubee County High School running back Darrell Robinson wasn't named Dandy Dozen by The Clarion-Ledger this year nor was he highly ranked by any recruiting services.
The 5-foot-10, 191-pound senior was actually mostly unknown coming into the season after sharing the carries last year with LaDarrell Hunt. He didn't even make the Clarion Ledger's Top 125 seniors.
And yet Robinson, and not his higher ranked counterparts, has had arguably the best year of any player in the state this season. He has scored a state-record 49 touchdowns (45 rushing, one receiving, two on punt returns and one on a ...

|Development of Novel Carbon Fiber produced from Waste Fiber by Cabonization.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23018856 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|The volume of waste fiber has increased rapidly in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue. In this study, therefore, we attempted to convert waste fiber to carbonaceous materials by carbonization and investigated the basic properties of the resulting carbonized fibers. The results demonstrated that pores tend to form and specific surface areas change substantially, depending on the carbonization conditions. The carbonization conditions resulting in the largest specific surface areas included a temperature increase and retention times of 2 h. Carbonization temperatures resulting in the maximum values of 1000°C were 900-1000°C for wool and 1000°C for both polyester and cotton. In particular, the specific surface area of cotton after carbonization at 1000°C was 1253 m(2)/g, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs showed that cotton retained its fibrous form after carbonization. Thus, it is possible to inexpensively convert waste fibers to carbonaceous material by carbonization. The results indicate that for cotton fiber in particular, the practical application of this process to the production of low-cost fibrous activated carbon would be possible, since cotton fiber retains its fibrous form under carbonization.

About TBP's Daily Email Subscription . . .
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On August 11, 2013 @ 6:00 pm In Web/Tech,Weblogs | Comments Disabled
Congratulations, its a MailChimp!
Those 19,206 of you who receive The Big Picture via email at 7pm EST each day may have noticed a few changes this past week.
The reason for this is the mail server we use. It used to be via Feedburner, but we switched over to MailChimp.
There were a few reasons for this, but the main one was that Feedburner is a Google property, and since they just killed Reader, I expect Feedburner may be next on the chopping block. Rather than wait and scramble, I wanted to be proactive. Feedburner was great — it was free, and relatively simple to manage. However, it was not very user definable. Mailchimp costs about $150 a month, but it is far more robust. Lots of it is user definable functions, designs, and plenty of analytics.
Mailchimp is a double opt in — you have to sign up, then click a link on a received email. (Note this is very different than giant spam factory known as ConstantContact, who suck [1]).
A few notable elements: I can create dedicated email lists for different functions: In addition to getting the site via email each day, I can create a separate email list for The Big Picture Conference, for our Asset Management Commentary, for other eBooks we create, etc.
All told it is a pretty cool tool.
If it looks somewhat different, well bear with us. I am still learning all the various configurations, colors, etc.

Aamir Khan is the master of all trades, be it enlightening the audience with his social messages or sweeping off his ladies on screen by sharing hottest lip-locks. Yes in his upcoming flick Peekay, Aamir Khan is likely to share the longest kiss in the Bollywood history with his co-star Anushka Sharma. Emraan Hashmi is said to be the 'serial-kisser' but we thing his position is under serious threat from the 'Perfectionist' Khan. Take a look at the history of hot kisses by Aamir Khan.
Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak
Aamir Khan taught the world and specially Toby 'Spiderman' McGuire how to kiss upside-down. Yes who can forget his and Juhi Chawla's upside down kiss. The movie boasted of more kissing scenes. Right from his debut movie, Aamir Khan became the ladies man. The perfect chocolate boy looks with a very sexy personality.
Raja Hindustani
One of the best on-screen kisses were of Aamir Khan and Karishma Kapoor in 1996 release Raja Hindustani. What made this lip-lock so memorable was the typical Bollywood setting with the rains, actress drenched and lot of mush. Could not get better than this.
3 Idiots
His confusion over the nose coming in between, while kissing was solved by Kareena Kapoor in Raj Kumar Hirani's 3 Idiots. It was one of the cutest lip-locks you have seen on screen and Aamir Khan was again at his best with his lip service.
Do not bother about the plot of this forgettable movie, but one scene that remained etched in the audience's mind was the classic Mamta Kulkarni and Aamir Khan's kissing scene. Well the innovation in the style of lip- lock was upped as Mamta Kulkarni placed the ice cube perfectly on his lips while nursing an injured Aamir Khan.
Dhoom 3
After sharing a 'mechanical kiss' with Badshah of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif brushed her lips against Aamir Khan in YRF's Dhoom 3. Not a much hyped but a sweet kissing scene between the two. Do we hear her ex Salman Khan sobbing in the corner?
Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar
Aamir Khan in the role of a teenager shared a steamy kiss with his sexy girlfriend Pooja Bedi in 1992 coming of age movie Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. Pooja Bedi was already oozing sexiness on screen with her bold Kamasutra advertisement, no wonder the lip-lock came off so natural on screen.
Akele Hum Akele Tum
Sharing lip-locks goes to another level in Aamir Khan and Manisha Koirala starrer Akele Hum Akele Tum released in 1995. The duo had their kissing moment in the bath tub which looked quite authentic and later again in the movie.
Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke
Looked like Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla had an affinity towards each other's lips as it became mandatory to have at least one kissing scene in their 1993 released movie, these two again shared a beautiful kissing scene in this romantic-comedy.
Rani Mukherji was the next in line to be kissed by the 'on-screen' kisser Aamir Khan in his next Ghulam (1998). Do not blame the actor as he was only obeying his director. Remember when there is a rain sequence in Bollywood, kissing follows next.
Probably his biggest mistake of his career to work in his 2000 release Mela, but the actor was at his best when he kissed damsel-in-distress Twinkle Khanna. Just for the records his brother Faisal Khan also acted beside him and had Aishwarya Rai in guest appearance. Still a drab? Then we cannot help it.
These were some of his best kisses on-screen among his long list of lip-locking history. So what do you think about him being the best kisser in Bollywood?

Convincing people that rim is a great buy who are not in the loop are backward thinkers with no visionary skills
Obviously they as children never connected the dots while colouring
Rim is not a phone any longer it i has evolved into a security service provider coupled with smart phone technology that will allow industry and individual to control devices be it thermostats, appliances et al while away or at place of install
Smart secure intelligence will position rim worldwide as a trusted provider who will license applications to security providers be it the form of applications be it banks, att, Dow and secure e mail services that all phones may carry on there platform
The money in this will be a game changer
Qnx system, do your dd and see what the platform really is. Rim will not be in the game of aapl or google's android much longer
Rim in my opinion has seen the light and will be travelling the road of trusted secure artificial intelligence be it mobile payments, banking or e-mail. Corporations around the globe will learn that Rim a provider of such all in house is a much safer infrastructure than ios and android systems offloading security to 3rd party providers. In my opinion patches will no longer work as hackers can figure make shift solutions with ease
All major industrial companies will love where rim is going, they will be able at the click of an app locate equipment , track employees, manage time sheets all through the qnx system
Aapl and android and samsung will enter this as well but in a much softer version
With all this we have not even talked about streaming advantage through rims compression that allows carriers the ability to use less band width thus allowing higher profits going back to the carriers
If I was a carrier I want rim in a good spot because the less dependent a carrier is on one company the better the leverage in negotiation with such

The market has been able to bounce off earlier lows and climb
back over the psychological Dow 10K level.
Despite the recent drop, which has been a decent-sized one,
investors need to remember we are still up over 50% from the March
2009 lows. There is a decent chance the markets could down further,
considering the economic landmines that still exist (and will stick
around for quite a while). One of the other factors that continues
to baffle us is the low volume rallies we have seen during the
tremendous market run-up. Market pundits continued to brush it
aside as nothing more than a "reversion to a new norm", and likely
due to ETFs influencing how investors spread their investing
dollars. Unfortunately, we have been seeing in the recent selloff a
big spike in volume and the major effect it has had on the averages
in a short amount of time. Fortunately we are not buying into the
new theories and will continue to harness our own research to
maintaining what we feel is a more proper investing
As we look at today's bounce, commodity stocks were certainly
seeing a lift with names like Freeport McMoran (
) and BHP Billiton (
) rising. Financial plays Mastercard (
) , Goldman Sachs (
) and JP Morgan (
) led the financials higher. Other names seeing a bounce included
Boeing (
) , Public Storage (
) and Time Warner Cable (
) . Names that couldn't quite turn things around in the bounce
today included BP Plc (
) and Colgate-Palmolive (
) . Volume on the NYSE came in at just 5.45 Billion shares on the
snapback, and we traded 8.32 Billion shares on the big drop
yesterday. This indicates there is still a bit of distribution
going on and keeps us somewhat cautious.
As we get set for the weekend, we are looking ahead to earnings
next week from companies such as Campbell Soup (
) , Costco (
) , Guess, Inc. (
) and Medtronic (
) . There will likely be a shakeup in our weekend watchlists,so be
sure to check them out on Dividend.com Premium.

Nice! Thanks for making an excellent resource even better, and for keeping it free. I'd call this a must-have for every IT admin.
What is the ISBN number of that book?
It would be better if the download links actually worked.
Patres, the ISBN is 9780735693821. Steve, we've had thousands of hits on the page for the ebook and no complaints but yours. Maybe try again?
It might be helpful for my next virtual terminal server project. Thanks :)
On page 133, there is a note that states "Bridge mode has poorer performance than Shared Networking (NAT) but is more secure because the guest operation system is hidden behind a NAT" ; I agree with NAT being more secure, but it seems to me that NAT has poorer performance, not bridge mode. Also, it's an "operating" system, not "operation" :) I may be wrong.
This is looking really good need to learn more about server virtualisation and more, also i would like to say a great big thank you for keeping it free.
For e-books, it would be nice if you also used a standard e-book format that is easy to read on mobile devices and e-readers. Please include ePub and MobiPocket formats. Almost every e-reader available reads one of these two formats.
Yes many can read PDF, but most PDFs are not setup to flow on a mobile device.
I'd second Peter's comment above. Pdfs just don't work well on my kindle as I can't increase the text size.
You can use the mobipocket creator to convert PDFs to Kindle format.
Where is the link?
the link is at the top of the page. we give links to XPS format and PDF format
Only if there was a link to download this book !
Register at www.gigapedia.com the book is free there.
The book is also free here. The links are in the first paragraph of this post, on "XPS format here" and "PDF format here."

(WBIR-Kingsport) A fugitive who has been on the run for more than two years was finally captured Wednesday in East Tennessee.
Brandon Saylor, 29, escaped from the Kentucky Department of Corrections Marion Adjustment Center in March 2011. He was serving a 17 year sentence on charges including burglary, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, wanton endangerment, and fleeing and evading police.
Saylor used an alias to avoid capture for over two years. During that time, he was accused in a home invasion in Harlan County and an aggravated burglary in Tennessee.
Last month, agents thought they'd tracked Saylor down in Bean Station, but he eluded capture.
After an intensive manhunt, Saylor was located at a home on Whispering Hills Drive in Kingsport on Wednesday evening. When law enforcement approached the residence, Saylor attempted to flee out a side door, but was met by US Marshals and taken into custody.
Saylor was transported to the Washington County Sheriff's Office where he faces charges of Aggravated Burglary.
Washington County Sheriff Ed Graybeal said "It's a privilege for us
to be part of the Smoky Mountain Fugitive Task Force and to get this
young man in jail who committed an $18,000 burglary including stealing
guns. I know the public in Washington County was concerned and with him
being in jail there are families here who can feel safer today. "
This investigation was a joint effort with the United States Marshals Service's Smoky Mountain Fugitive Task Force, the Washington County Sheriff's Department, Kingsport Police Department, Bean Station Police Department, Grainger County Sheriff's Office, Knox County Sheriff's Office, Blount County Sheriff's Department, and the Sevier County Sheriff's Department.

Yesterday, Jamais and I were guests on Caroline Casey's Pacifica network "Visionary Activism" radio show. It was a rolicking good time, with nice back-and-forth riffs on sustainability, open source, transparency in politics, the Second Superpower, and mythic metaphors.
You can listen in here and here.
Good interview. Although I'd recommend people skip the first seven minutes of the host rambling on about the alignment of the stars; unless you're into that kind of thing... :P

The 12 Worst Star Trek: DS9 Episodes Ever

Location: Staffordshire, UK
Re: The 12 Worst Star Trek: DS9 Episodes Ever
I was thinking that if Valiant can get a mention in this thread, then I'd 'like' to bring up Prodigal Daughter. I was getting a bit fed up with the Ezri overkill in the final season, and this episode in particular was one too far for me. I wasn't very invested in her family, and the mystery with the company and Norvo was dull. O'Brien shows up too late in the story, but when he does nothing interesting happens anyway.
I'm not sure why Ezri had to be anywhere near the follow-up to Honor Amongs Thieves in the first place, expecially as there was such a derth of O'Brien material that season.
Aren't you just a little bit curious?

6 Improve maternal health
Where we are?
Maternal health is an area in which Lebanon has recorded success. Lebanon has made significant
progress in reducing maternal mortality and has reached the MDG 5 targets.
Situation Analysis: Achievements And Challenges
The maternal mortality ratio has decreased in Lebanon by more than two thirds compared to the 1990s, to reach a ratio of 25 per 100,000 live births in 2010 (table 7.1). That progress places Lebanon in a higher league than its regional peers, which register ratios around 10 times higher (WHO 2013a). The proportion of births attended by skilled personnel was 98 percent in 2004, and was estimated in 2009 at slightly below that rate. Likewise, the proportion of pregnant women receiving antenatal care is above the 95 percent threshold, though there are not many details on whether they make multiple visits versus a single visit.
The upgrading of the primary health-care system over the last decade, including the recent expansion of primary health-care centres supported by the Ministry of Public Health, has contributed significantly to the progress made. All active primary health-care centres supported by the ministry offer reproductive health services and refer patients requiring further treatment to an appropriate district hospital. Children and women, especially mothers, benefit most. In 2013, the number of pregnant women benefiting from the centres' services was 40,651, the equivalent of 45 per cent of all pregnant women in Lebanon (Ministry of Public Health 2013a).

The 8 Millennium Development Goals
- 1 Eradicate extreme hunger and poverty
- 2 Achieve universal primary education
- 3 Promote gender equality and empower women
- 4 Reduce child mortality
- 5 Improve maternal health
- 6 Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases
- 7 Ensure environmental sustainability
- 8 Develop a global partnership for development
Targets for MDG 5
- Reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio
- Most maternal deaths could be avoided
- Giving birth is especially risky in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, where most women deliver without skilled care
- The rural-urban gap in skilled care during childbirth has narrowed
- Achieve universal access to reproductive health & inadequate funding for family planning is a major failure in fulfilling commitments to improving women's reproductive health
- More women are receiving antenatal care
- Inequalities in care during pregnancy are striking
- Only one in three rural women in developing regions receive the recommended care during pregnancy
- Progress has stalled in reducing the number of teenage pregnancies, putting more young mothers at risk
- Poverty and lack of education perpetuate high adolescent birth rates
- Progress in expanding the use of contraceptives by women has slowed & use of contraception is lowest among the poorest women and those with no education

Meet Philly's most hated band.
But the press did somehow find it, and Nevermind scored stellar reviews.
The Yale Herald gushed that Clockcleaner "seem intent on offending every demographic out there" after quoting the record's first line: "I saw your girlfriend leaving the abortion clinic the other day/ With another man." Two of the album's song titles are "Gentle Swastika" and "Missing Dick."
Dusted magazine fitted Clockcleaner with "Next Big Thing" status. Decibel sang Nevermind's praises. And Maximumrocknroll, still around after all these years, put them on the cover.
After Nevermind's beaming press, the search for a new bassist began.
|Karen Horner
They found Karen Horner, a longtime Philly bassist (formerly of Ready Set). Horner has big eyes and an infectious laugh, and is the only person in the history of music who's ever looked cool playing a six-string bass. She'd actually played a show with an earlier incarnation of Clockcleaner in a basement with another band.
"I just remember it was one of the first times I actually liked a band we played with because, you know, most bands you share a bill with usually suck."
She was the perfect fit.
Richmond, Va., is a city filled with anarchist punks who haven't showered in ages and have the dreads to prove it. There are also a lot of clean-cut college kids who pop their Polo collar. People drink until they go blind here.
Stay in Richmond long enough (an hour or more), and you're bound to run across something odd.
The odd something tonight happens to be the crowd that's gathered at a spot called Nara Sushi for a Clockcleaner performance. The band has never played Richmond before, and both crowd and Clockcleaner don't know what to expect.
A generous spread of sushi has been laid out for the band, and despite the suggestion that it might just be a clever ploy for the restaurant to get rid of all its on-the-verge-of-rotting fish, the musicians woof it down.
"If I puke while performing tonight because of this California roll, it'll just add to the show," says Sharkey, always the man with a plan.
Nara has a nice wooden deck. As it starts to fill, Clockcleaner get a good sense of who's making it out to the show tonight: i.e., Richmond's finest freaks.
After overhearing a couple conversations Charles starts to get an odd look about him. He wonders if Clockcleaner's bad-boy (and -girl) rep has followed them to the commonwealth's capitol.
"Sometimes we get some goon in the audience who's just there because he heard we start fights or pick on people or something," Richie almost whispers. "They've never heard the music but just think we're assholes, so they come to the show just to, I don't know, out-asshole us."
Charles insists he isn't complaining. On the contrary, if the person attempting to out-asshole the assholes does it well, it makes for a better show.
"I appreciate a good heckle," he says. And then, after assessing the patio once more, a sigh. "I just don't think, based on some of the conversations I've overheard tonight, that anyone here is going to offer much of a challenge."
Some of those conversations, in short, go as follows:
Talking Teen Wolf and penises with Man Man and Clockcleaner. Also, Hannah Montana.
Food Fest: Neighborhoods unite for discounted food and drink specials
Judah Friedlander steps off the stage to put pen to paper
Dinner with Luke Palladino

"New music, that no one knows about, is like buried treasure. It takes a lot of digging, but sooner or later a gem will surface and today that gem goes by the name of CJ Perrin. For starters, he currently lives it up in East Stroudsburg, PA and is originally from New Jersey. He's a bit unpolished at 21, so he has plenty of time for progression. With the two tracks Perrin has released so far, he is well on his way. His debut release "Summertime" and even "Dice Game" lead me to draw "slight" comparisons to Wiz Khalifa, just by the certain references and the way Perrin rhymes the end of his liners. Everything he raps about is generally positive, which is always a plus when I listen to music. So get ready to live up and catch yourself wishing it was summer."

Genelec 8020B Bi-Amplified Active Monitoring SystemThe 8020B Bi-Amplified Active Monitoring System measures 9.53"x 5.94"x 5.59" and has been designed for monitoring work in difficult listening environments. 3/05/2012 1:00 PM Eastern
Genelec 8020B Bi-Amplified Active Monitoring System
Mar 5, 2012 6:00 PM
Genelec has introduced the 8020B Bi-Amplified Active Monitoring System. The system measures 9.53"x 5.94"x 5.59" and has been designed for monitoring work in difficult listening environments. The 8020B features a mains power switch located on the enclosure's rear panel. The rotary front panel control is used for sound level adjustment only. The audio signal can still be muted (the front LED stays on) in turning the front panel volume knob fully counterclockwise, but actual mains power is only switched off using the rear panel on/off power switch, which turns the front LED on/off. This also enables turning the power off without changing the set level. Along with this change, the second rear-mounted XLR connector has been removed. This new control configuration offers new options for environmentally conscious users and those looking to cut down on energy consumption. The 8020B's die-cast aluminum Minimum Diffraction Enclosure features relatively large internal volumes. The 8020B's Directivity Control Waveguide technology provides smooth on- and off-axis response. The long, curved reflex port ends in a wide flare for excellent bass articulation.The 8020B features a 4in. bass driver along with a 0.75in. tweeter. The frequency response is 66Hz to 20kHz (± 2.5dB). The system is capable of delivering sound pressure levels of up to 105dB maximum. Bass and treble are each powered by 20W amplifiers. Price: $595

Unlocking your phone might not be illegal, but you still might get in trouble with the law for doing it. It's a gray area, and some people are upset about a rule change by the Library of Congress that could impact the way users do business with cellphone carriers. That's why they started a petition to force the White House to address the issue -- and the petition now has enough signatures to make the administration take another look. Meanwhile, how do you broach a different kind of rule: the one that governs the way you and your family interact with tech in the home?
