unk Reanimator has become the dominant deck in Standard, and it's well known enough that I wouldn't write about it, so I've become used to seeing Unburial Rites and skimming past to the next deck. Matsumoto Yuuki has taken his deck in a different direction, though.
His use of a red splash for Faithless Looting and Huntmaster of the Fells, which he can return with Angel of Glory's Rise, may look like a throwback to the old Human Reanimator decks like the deck we saw Tzu-Ching Kuo take to the finals of Grand Prix Quebec City earlier this year. However, unlike previous Angel of Glory's Rise decks, Matsumoto has no infinite combo; he's just putting more creatures into play and passing the turn.
Why would he do that? Well, he doesn't have to play any weaker support cards that just enable the combo (I'm not going to sit here and tell you that Cathedral Sanctifier isn't a weak support card, but it still doesn't take the full dedication the combo does, and if the benchmark is Centaur Healer, this really isn't much worse).
Matsumoto's deck essentially looks like the deck that Human Reanimator sides into, bringing Thragtusk, Restoration Angel, and Angel of Serenity to play a fair game.
This leaves Matsumoto with space to actually have a sideboard with removal, even more diverse threats, and Slaughter Games (to accompany Acidic Slime) to beat other Unburial Rites or control players.

On day three of the Kiteboard Tour Asia (KTA), at Bulabog Beach, the leading freestyle riders continued the dominance they had shown at the last stop in Indonesia by clinching top spots in the single elimination heats in strong winds and flat water.
Kiteboard Tour Asia - KTA Philippines Boracay Extreme 2014
Dutch rider Dylan van der Meij cruised to victory in the final heat over Mike Blomvall (SWE) with high-powered tricks and smooth landings in the shallow turquoise waters inside the reef off Boracay's Bulabog Beach.
The Swede suffered the misfortune of a nine meter kite that deflated in a hard crash, but was able to swap it out in for a 10m kite in less than a minute. But the moves thrown down by van der Meij, a day after his nineteenth birthday, were simply too strong for Blomvall's strong challenge.
Even in the gusty conditions with winds hit 25kts, van der Meij stomped a spectacular array powered tricks that included a Low Mobe, Blind Judge three, Kite Loop NIS and an 'S' Mobe that had the audience huddled on the beach cheering in appreciation.
'I was on the edge of comfortable in the conditions,' said van der Meij. 'I was fully depowered on my 10m kite. But it makes you do your tricks with more power, though the water also got choppier during the heats which made things even more challenging. I'm so happy with my first place because there are so many good guys here.'
The awe-inspiring excitement of day three came after several days of intense Formula kite and Twin Tip racing at the KTA Philippines Boracay Extreme, with Blue Orange Ville as the presenting sponsor and Aqua Boracay by Yoo the host.
Brazilian number two Estefania Rosa dos Santos, 26, maintained her grip on the top spot when she saw off a challenge from Kelly Schouten (NED) with a series of smooth tricks that included a Blind Judge, 313, and a Shifty three, even though she suffered several hard crashes in the tough conditions.
Practice race - 2015 J22 North American Championship
'I so happy,' said dos Santos. 'I won all my heats even in the gusty conditions and I was still able to do my 'air passes'. In these conditions you really need to judge what you are going to do very carefully. So I was doing tricks that I was sure to land.'
By contrast Schouten, 25, who lost to dos Santos in the 'super-final' of the KTA Indonesia event when the Brazilian landed a remarkable five handle passes in the air, knew she had to gamble to have any chance of winning.
'I thought 'I have to go big, or I'm going home' because I've seen what she can do,' said Schouten. 'But in my efforts to go for it I had a couple of big crashes. It wasn't my best heat. But overall I'm happy because the rest of the day was good, or good enough.'
With the single elimination rounds complete race officials got the Formula kite, Twin Tip, Weekend Warriors and Kids out on the water in the blustery conditions. While the wind dropped slightly racers were out on their seven meter, nine meter and 11m kites.
But the stronger winds upset the established order of the opening series of races. Ken Nacor (PHI) overhauled Narapichit 'Yo' Pudla (THA) in both Formula kite races of the day, ending the 23-year-old's unbeaten run.
'I like the strong wind, whereas I struggle when it's light,' said Nacor. 'I stay here in Boracay so I'm used to high winds and small kites when I'm training. 'Yo' is my friend, so it's great to beat him. I know he's a good hunter and waiting to pick you off, especially upwind where he's so quick.'
Practice race - 2015 J22 North American Championship
Pudla suffered similarly mixed fortunes in the day's four Twin Tip races, though he did manage to score a bullet before going down to Doque De los Santos (PHI) and Louie 'Bong' Fernando (PHI).
The dominance of Kathrin Borgwardt (GER) in the Twin Tip class also suffered a hick-up when she scored one bullet but was overhauled by Cosima Sommer (GER) on the line at the end of the two laps of the track.
Astrid Berz (SUI) had no such problems. She scored bullets in both the women's Formula kite races of the day to cement her position on top of the leader board, though Borgwardt also kept up the pressure with two second place finishes.

MAN, Daimler Seek 2010 Truck Growth in Brazil, Russia
MAN SE, Europe's third-biggest truckmaker, said it will raise full-year forecasts next month and Daimler AG, the world's biggest, said profit will recover because of growth in emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia.
MAN will increase its return-on-sales target when third-quarter earnings figures are released in October, Chief Financial Officer Frank Lutz said at a press briefing in Hanover, Germany. Daimler said its truck division will probably achieve an earnings before interest and taxes target of about 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion), rebounding from a loss in 2009.
The Daimler Trucks unit's eight-month deliveries rose 33 percent, jumping 68 percent in Latin America and 76 percent in Indonesia while eastern European sales more than doubled "from a very low level," it said. MAN's forecasts now seem "rather conservative," as orders have exceeded sales every month in 2010, and "the curve is pointing clearly upwards, both in Europe and abroad," Lutz said at the Hanover Trucks Show.
"We're experiencing an upswing" in the commercial-vehicle market, Andreas Renschler, head of Daimler Trucks, said during a separate press conference today at the trade show.
MAN fell 0.3 percent to 77.76 euros at the 5:30 p.m. close of trading in Frankfurt. Daimler gained 0.3 percent to 45.64 euros.
Brazil GDP
Brazil's gross domestic product may expand by more than 7 percent this year, Finance Minister Guido Mantega said on Sept. 3. Growth in China may average 8 percent a year until 2020, according to estimates by Qing Wan, an economist at Morgan Stanley. That compares with European Central Bank forecasts that the euro region's economy will expand 1.4 percent to 1.8 percent in 2010.
Lutz and Renschler said their companies will provide more specific operating-profit forecast figures with third-quarter results. Munich-based MAN said in July that it was targeting revenue growth of more than 10 percent and a return on sales, or operating profit as a proportion of revenue, matching the 6 percent of the first half.
Revenue at MAN may total about 15 billion euros, Lutz said, up from 12 billion euros last year. The current forecast for return on sales is at least 6 percent, he said.
'Clear Improvement'
"We expect a clear improvement in profitability, and that should also continue into 2011," Lutz said today.
The truckmaker has seen "no signs" that Volkswagen AG, its biggest shareholder, plans to raise the stake, Lutz said. Europe's biggest carmaker, which owns 29.9 percent of MAN and 71 percent of the voting rights in Sweden's Scania AB, said in April that cooperation between the commercial-vehicle manufacturers will probably increase "step by step."
Daimler, which is also the world's second-largest luxury-auto maker, is including light commercial vehicles in a cooperation project it set up in April with French car manufacturer Renault SA, Renschler said. The companies and Renault's Japanese partner, Nissan Motor Co., have said they will develop conventional engines and electric-powering systems for small cars.
Renschler predicted yesterday that industrywide deliveries of heavy vehicles will grow by more than 50 percent by 2015 because of emerging markets. Daimler said today that its eight-month truck sales in Brazil, Russia, India and China rose 64 percent. Those countries, and the so-called Next 11 emerging markets, accounted for 40 percent of Daimler's deliveries in the period compared with 30 percent in all of 2009.
The division's U.S. unit will be profitable this year, even as the market fails to match the German company's growth predictions, Renschler said.
MAN's deliveries will rise to a record 115,000 to 120,000 trucks this year, Chief Executive Officer Georg Pachta-Reyhofen said today. That compares with 40,535 vehicles sold last year, when deliveries dropped 58 percent. Sales in Brazil may jump by 50 percent to 60,000 trucks, he said.

Chris Osgood: "For me, personally, I've got to get to the level I've been in the playoffs for this team right now. Last year we were so far ahead I didn't have to, but the position we're in now, I've got to get to that level now, and continue it through the rest of the regular season."
- Filed Under
NEW YORK -- Chris Osgood has enjoyed seeing Jimmy Howard thrive the past month, getting one start after another and generally performing very well.
Howard made 28 saves, including a terrific stop on Rangers forward Ryan Callahan's penalty shot early in the second period of Sunday's 3-1 victory at Madison Square Garden. Callahan attempted to stuff a forehand shot in past the right post, but Howard just managed to kick the puck away with his left skate.
"It was basically just desperation, get something over there," Howard said. "Luckily, I was able to get a toe on it." ...

Howard Stern: I'll Be America's Got Talent's "Strict Judge"
When shock jock Howard Stern assumes his seat on the America's Got Talent judges panel on Monday's premiere, fans can rest assured he'll tell it like it is.
"I'm going to be a strict judge," Stern, 57, admits ahead of the NBC hit's seventh season debut. "I don't want to go buzzer-crazy, but I've got to stick to my guns. We've got to find the best talent."
Agreeing to take part in the Nick Cannon-hosted series alongside Sharon Osbourne and Howie Mandel in December, Stern has long been a fan of the NBC hit.

"I'm a huge fan of the show -- I've been asked to do a lot of different things in my career and I've avoided them," Stern, who replaces departing judge Piers Morgan, says. "Something appealed to me with this. I sit at home on my couch and judge."
Bantering with Osbourne and Mandel in the preview clip above, the radio deejay will definitely provide must-see TV.
PHOTOS: See Howard and wife Beth's wedding pics
Says Mandel of his new colleague: "[Howard brings] more excitement and more energy than there's ever been in the past six seasons. [This season] he'll bring the unexpected."
America's Got Talent premieres Monday at 8 p.m. (EST) on NBC.

Gothenburg May 27th: Staffan Lindberg and his Alandia Sailing Team has won an entry to Stena Match Cup Sweden after beating Danish skipper Joachim Aschenbrenner in the final of the GKSS Spring Cup. The Swedish skipper Henrik Eyerman and his crew were sensationally the only Swedes to advance from the Round Robin of the event, which gave them the Swedish qualifying ticket to Marstrand.
Alandia Sailing Team - GKSS Spring Cup - qualifier for Stena Match Cup Sweden
This weekend, the GKSS Spring Cup was sailed in perfect conditions at the Royal Gothenburg Yacht Club with sun and 25 knots of wind. The regatta serves as a qualifying event for Stena Match Cup Sweden, the third stage of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour, and several top ranked teams came to battle for a entry ticket to Marstrand. After the line-up of ten teams had boiled down during the Round Robin and Winner's Round three Danish teams and Staffan Lindberg (FIN) were left in the Semifinals. The Finish skipper lost his first match against Nicolai Sehested but came back to outmaneuver his opponent in two straight matches and secure a spot in the final. There he was put against Joachim Aschenbrenner and his Danish team, the winners of the Winner's Round. Lindberg got off to a good start in the first match, was in control from start to finish in gusty winds, and continued with another victory in the second match - Alandia Sailing Team had won the Spring Cup and the ticket to Marstrand was theirs.
'Heading into this event, we knew that the competition was tough, that we had to perform our best to win and the whole crew has sailed perfectly; we have worked well as a team with good speed and maneuvering. It feels great heading for Marstrand and we can go there as underdogs which fits us fine', says Staffan Lindberg, the Skipper of Alandia Sailing Team.
Alandia Sailing Team - GKSS Spring Cup - qualifier for Stena Match Cup Sweden
The Swedish skipper Henrik Eyermann and his team was the big surprise of the weekend as they grabbed the Swedish qualifying spot. Eyermann, 156 on the ISAF match racing ranking, was the only Swedish skipper to advance from the Round Robin, which meant his team had secured an entry to Stena Match Cup Sweden as the best Swedes in the GKSS Spring Cup.
'It's a dream to get to compete at Marstrand and this is a complete surprise even for us. We are really happy and excited about qualifying, things have worked well in the team and we have just kept going', says Henrik Eyermann.
The 51 year old Eyermann has never competed in a World Tour event before but he has a strong record as a sailor, with a forth place in the 1984 Olympics in the Star Class together with Kent Carlsson. Now he and his crew will be one of the twelve teams competing in the Open Class of Stena Match Cup Sweden 2013.

Columnist provides excellent information
The Peter Goodman column in the March 2 edition of your newspaper ("Garrison hires man with questionable history as chief of staff") is the reason that we subscribe to your publication! It is excellent and covers the kind of news that is very important to the citizens of this town. Mr. Goodman is to be congratulated! Congratulations and please continue the good work.
Goodman spreads Obamacare delusions
Last month's ravings by Peter Goodman ("Lessons on war and health care," Feb. 23) contrasted President Bush's Iraq war with President Obama's war on health care. Let's contrast these:
Multiple intelligence agencies claimed Saddam possessed chemical weapons and was pursuing a nuclear capability. Evidence suggests WMDs were transported to Syria, and have shown up in that conflict. Saddam harbored terrorist group Abu Nidal and financed suicide bombings in Israel. Yet that war was unnecessary and Bush lied?
Conversely, despite Goodman's delusions, Obama sold Obamacare based on a series of lies. Via overwhelming House and Senate majorities, he "won" the vote, ramming through the law he hadn't read, didn't understand, was completely unprepared to administer, and has repeatedly modified without legislative authority.
For three years prior to the disastrous healthcare.gov roll-out, Obama failed to meet with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Now he doesn't understand why people believe he's incapable of leading? The man who is constantly vacationing, bored with his job, and knows nothing (Benghazi, IRS, etc.) except his brackets.
Goodman asserts 3.3 million have signed up for Obamacare, ignoring the 5 million who've lost policies, as enrollments tilt toward Medicaid, a program bankrupting the country. The $700 billion stolen from Medicare is creating higher premiums and reduced services. Yet even with this money, taxpayers face $2 trillion in new debt. (Remember Obama claiming in September 2009 that Obamacare wouldn't add a dime to the deficit?) And those new plans feature higher premiums (where's the $2,500 savings per family?), whopping higher deductibles, and reduced doctor choices.
Bottom Line: Obamacare is unaffordable, unworkable, unpopular and unmanageable. This law has nationalized an industry through government-dictated plans (that's the fascist model, folks) that was working (emphasis past tense) for 85 percent of Americans before meddling Democrats (including Tom Udall) undermined it.
Radiation leak a wake up call for WIPP site
I worked at WIPP in the 1980s. The big concern was leakage to the Pecos River. The specialists always had answers for anyone's concerns. Logic tells you that eventually these containers will leak and will find a way to the environment, despite claims the salt is elastic and will trap this radioactivity for eternity, along with plans for a huge concrete cap when the job is finished!
However, as a reminder, this is a pilot plant. Already, the experts do not know the reason for this leakage. They say it is a very small leakage and no worries. Of course, they do not want their hopes for high-level radioactive waste stored here dashed!
Carlsbad was dirt poor when this all started in the 1980s. Potash was played out and Carlsbad needed another resource-oriented industry to keep the town alive. Therefore, DOE was able to sink their talons into this community, even though it failed elsewhere, where people are more informed - including Yucca Mountain near Las Vegas.
The other big concern was transporting this low-level radioactive waste from several government facilities of leftovers from bomb-making (transuranic) and space programs across national and New Mexico highways. The clincher is that this facility was designed to accept all levels of radioactive waste. The talk is that this facility will be accepting high levels of radioactive waste in the near future, especially as Yucca Mountain in Nevada has officially stopped funding -- after $9 billion and many years for what was supposed to be the high-level radioactive depository.
After this wake-up call, I can only assume the politicians and people will decide what is best for Carlsbad and New Mexico. We can only guess when DOE officially comes knocking to expand its mission at WIPP what that decision may entail.

November 29, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) The government's partial shutdown has halted most enrollment into research studies at the National Institutes of Health's famed hospital. But some desperately ill patients have managed to get in.
Normally, about 200 new patients a week enroll in studies at the NIH's research-only hospital, often referred to as the "house of hope" because so many of those people have failed standard treatments. During the shutdown, the NIH furloughed so many employees that it said it could admit new patients only in crisis cases, when someone's illness was imminently life-threatening and the intended study offered some hope of improvement.
Agency spokeswoman Renate Myles said that from Oct. 1 through Tuesday, 12 patients were enrolled in studies at the NIH Clinical Center. Most had cancer.

Signs stating that the front and back nine are closed are posted April 4 at Lafayette Municipal Golf Course in Lafayette.
- Filed Under
Balancing inconsistent spring weather, public expectations and a lack of part-time workers at the municipal golf course is proving to be a challenge for the Lafayette Parks Department.
"The weather has made it difficult," said Ted Bumbleburg, parks director. "The snow before Easter didn't help. We did get the mower down there Friday and mowed."
When the park board closed the course in January, it committed to keep open three practice greens and the driving range until June 1. Then, it would evaluate whether the revenue covered operating costs. ...

It brings me joy to create photography that people enjoy and will cherish for years to come. It is with great pride that I read so many 5-star reviews from past clients across various review sites such as WeddingWire, TheKnot/WeddingChannel, and Yelp. These independent and heartfelt recommendations are some of the greatest compliments a photographer can receive! Contact email@example.com or (360) 463-9731 for further information!
Here is a sample of testimonials from past clients:
After the wedding, I second-guessed the price I paid for all my other vendors. But I didn't doubt – not even for a second – that you were worth every penny we paid for our photography. You did an amazing job! -Casey
Nicolette was a dream come true and a prayer answered for us when we were trying to decide who to go with to capture our special day for all eternity! We wanted a photographer who could not only snap quality candid shots of our wedding along with some family portrait shots, but also a fun photo booth for our guests to enjoy, and video all of the fun of the day!!! Nicolette not only met and exceeded our expectations in all three of those areas, but also was a joy to work with!!! She was extremely reasonable on pricing and did a great job communicating with us not only just before the wedding but after the wedding as well!!! With Nicolette as your photographer it's like getting a great photographer and a new friend as well!!! We highly recommend Nicolette for anyone getting married and we plan to use her services for other events as well in the future!!! -Chris
Nicolette is an incredible photographer! She is very punctual, professional, and personable. She was very prompt to reply to messages and was happy to give us all the information we needed to plan the best photography/wedding day possible! She encouraged having a photo booth – we first thought it was a splurge but after the fact we realized it was one of the best parts of our wedding! I love going through all the fun pictures of our friends/family wearing silly props. Everyone told us afterwards how much they enjoyed the photo booth. As for the professional photography… Amazing! Nicolette truly has vision. She made sure that we got all of our must-have's and then started branching out and taking photos of family members, flowers/cake, and guests. She was all over the place getting shots! She truly captured the essence of our love for each other. She caught us dancing together outside through these old-fashion window panes. She got an excellent shot of us posing with our impossibly wiggly 8-month-old puppy. She even laid down on the ground to get an amazing panoramic shot of the forest canopy above us! By far – hands down- the BEST photographer I have ever worked with! The photos are extremely high quality and her observance of the lighting and backgrounds showcases her experience and talent with photography. Her "sneak peaks" on Facebook were wonderful to see while we waited eagerly with anticipation for final photo editing and discs. Her turnaround time after the wedding for discs was very fast! Not to mention, she is completely understanding and accepting of everyone – including a non-traditional Lesbian wedding! VERY GBLT friendly! We can't say enough good things about Nicolette. -Tess
Nicolette did our engagement photos, wedding photos and photo booth. She met with us in Tacoma on our schedule and covered all of her available services in a very thorough, yet no pressure way. We knew right away that we wanted her for our special occasion. The engagement photos went great. She did a great job of making us feel comfortable and ourselves. She did the wedding and we also got a photo booth. She did a FANTASTIC job at the wedding. She got all the right shots but was also very quick about it as to not keep us awa y from the party. The photo booth is manned by her husband and was a big success! They had props and a guest book that guests made scrapbook pages with their photos! She was quick about getting the photos back to us after the wedding and very thoughtful with posting "teaser" photos for us on Facebook while we waited. Great pricing! I HIGHLY recommend her! -Amber
We are so grateful to Nicolette for capturing and preserving our day so beautifully that the resulting pictures brought tears to our eyes. Her talent for which moments to capture is impeccable. This multitude of pictures exceeded our expectations both in quality and innovation. Nicolette, her husband Tim (our photo booth master) and her second shooter Samantha put everyone at ease, kept things moving, kept us laughing, made sure we got every photo on our list and some stunning shots we did not have listed. They were all extremely relaxed and flexible. That calming approach, the laughter and how effortlessly Nicolette, Tim and Samantha worked with, and supports, our LGBTQ community added to the joy of our day. Thank you! -Teri
Niki did an amazing job of photographing our engagement session. She was professional, yet very laid back and easy-going. It was obvious she wanted to create a set of images that fit us and our personalities. Niki made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Her eye for creativity is amazing. Her photos are very original. I would definitely feel confident having Niki take our pictures for any future events; family, baby, wedding, etc. We were very pleased with her work. – Andrea
Nicolette photographed my engagement pictures and wedding and she was absolutely fabulous! Great photographer that really captured some very candid moments of me and my husband during both sessions. It was our first photo shoot of that kind together and I was really pleased at how she helped us to just have fun while she captured moments that through photography we will share for a lifetime. Our pictures were up on the website in no time and she was most helpful in the whole process. Days before the wedding she was in contact with me and it really helped so on the wedding day you are not stressing about photographer details because you know the photographer is detailed! I would recommend her to anyone and know that you will be well pleased as me and my family were after my pictures this summer. – Keysha
I would recommend Photography By Nicolette because Nicolette is not only an amazing photographer, but an amazing person. She took our wedding photos and our children's photos. She is the sweetest person you will meet. She has great creative ideas and takes wonderful candid shots too. She really works with what you want. Nicolette keeps in touch with me to see if the kids need photographs, how we are doing, to wish us happy holidays. She is really top notch from a professional and personal standpoint. We just love her! – Alia
Nicolette will be photographing my wedding at the end of june this year, but yesterday we did a bridal fashion shoot and I have to say she is an awesome photographer. My son and I met her at Gasworks for these pictures and we had a blast with her. She was really fun and took soooooo many pictures! I just took a look at some on her website and they are beautiful. I cant wait to see what she does with my wedding. I will recommend her to everyone I know! – Tiffany
the pictures were great! she took her time really getting quality images. the price was very good for a limited budget and she was very professional.i would definitely hire her again for any event because i know i can trust her to give us exactly what we want. – Robby
Very personal and really listened to what we were wanting. great price and she took alot of time making the pictures beautiful. she is very kind and caring to others as she is to her photography as well. i would hire her again for any event or family session. – Amanda
Nicolette has been a great! She made us feel comfortable in a somewhat awkward situation. Neither my fiance or I are people who like to be the center of attention but she made us feel comfortable and our pictures turned out great. –Megann
Nicolette photographed my wedding in 2008 and then did some family photos just recently..she does a great job! we were so thankful for her work at our wedding. the pictures came out so awesome. She is also a very nice person and is wonderful to work with…. –Tiffany
She is a great photographer that is very passionate about her work. She did our engagement and wedding photos and we were very pleased with her work and commitment to our satisfaction.-Keysha
Nicolette is full of enthusiasm and charm. She makes everyone feel very comfortable in her presence.-Tara
Nicolette was fabulous to work with! She took amazing pictures of our event…She is highly professional, great with the guests, and took great photos! Guests liked the fact they could buy photos of their choosing. We look forward to using her services again. – Habitat for Humanity

As per Vedic Astrology, Gemini is ruled by Mercury - the planet of communication. No wonder that Gemini possesses great gift of gab and does well in the professions that require special skills in communication like media, advertising, and journalism. The Gemini Horoscope reveals that the Gemini is represented by 'duality' of nature. Great communication and intelligence are the two traits that separate Gemini from the other signs. They are very good with socializing with others and sticking with the same place and people for a longer time bores them off. They seek change faster than others. They are highly adaptable beings. Infact they adjust to the environment or the changed situations in a way others expect them to. That is, they are extremely good with attuning themselves to the need of the hour and they almost always deliver as well. They are quick to respond to any situation and circumstances. Always in the search of intellectual stimulation, they tend to get bored off the routine very fast. They are naturally attracted to intrigue and are a natural at exchange of ideas - both giving and taking away information. With their dual nature, they are capable of saying to others what they think would appease them, while still maintaining a different viewpoints in their heads. They tend to say and do things to please others. Gemini may not know the ways and means to make themselves happy. Gemini is very restless by nature. Which is particularly true of a Gemini woman.
Commitment to one person for the entire life is not typical of a Gemini man, because he loves his freedom and free-spiritedness a little too much. » More
Your Gemini wife is a very complex woman, whose interests and passions change within fractions of seconds. Her very lively, fun-loving and vivacious personality could interest and » More
Your Gemini boss has many personalities, or at the least two. He constantly shifts from one to another, much to your surprise. » More

Something I took a few days ago just being weird and having some fun.
Something I took a few days ago just being weird and having some fun.
I'm looking for a good critique of this image if anyone will offer one. I really like this image and it's look, but I might want to know about potential flaws in composition,color concept or design.
the hands are a bit confusing for me
the "camera as a voice" concept (? - I am not too familiar with latin, but I guess that's the point you are trying to make?) is not clear enough... I doubt I would have ever stumbled over this part of the image without the title... which, ironically, negates the message, because the image as such remained a bit silent, if you know what I mean...
the eyes are slightly out of focus (or out of the DOF... depends on how you look at it) and this is always slightly disturbing for me unless you really push the face way back into the region where everything becomes impressionist bokeh dots.
I realize the eye of the camera should/could serve as a substitute, but it's not working for me, I guess. And then, it is supposed to be the mouth rather than the eye, isn't it?
Possible Remedies:
- same point-of-view, but bigger f-stop to make the DOF include the face/eyes
- smaller f-stop and even shallower DOF, arms held out more to increase distance between face and camera and higher focal length (supports the idea of shallow DOF) taken from a point of view which gives a similar alignment of items in the frame.
Are the colours of the face and the wall meant to match? If yes, you succeeded - although I don't know what for, exactly...
moreover, the tiny purple strand in the hair is being emphasized by the simultaneous color contrast between yellow and purple. Again, I am not sure if you wanted it to be that way and to what end you might have used that.
So, as concerns color concept: Either go for a more considerate choice of contrasts or do it in b/w... I was thinking that the forms are more important than the colours in this shot, anyway.
Why I take the time to write this up:
- firstly, you asked for it, LOL...
- more importantly, I like this image, too. It has a certain appeal, but it does not hammer it home to me like it should. Unlike eazym, I absolutely adore the pose of the hands around the camera.
So, you could have a beautiful shot of a complex hand pose and a camera with a blurred face in the bg (somewhat neglecting the title)
...or you could go for the inital concept, get rid of the color contrasts, do it in b/w and large DOF.
(nother thought... a downright manipulated morphed photoshop crazed thing would work here, too... just an idea.)
I have not read whats been said above me but i would suggest a wider color ranger though out the photo. your background and skin tones, as well as your hair are all of the same color range. The main issue with the photo however is that the focus is on your hands and you have a larger DOF than i usaly like for potrates. Your fase should be in focus not your camera?
Unless i suppose you wanted it like that?
well, I did want the camera to be more of the sharp part of the image. I work with what I can get though, especially with that kind of camera, my Nikon didn't work for that concept.
The concept I was going for is a bit tough to pull off, it's a bit strange I suppose. I did want my face to be a little more blurry and abstract looking.
The hand pose was intentional, however intentionally making unreadable amorphic hands can be a bit jarring to some I imagine.
The color scheme is intentionally simple, also it's what I had to work with mostly since this is a flashless shot in my bathroom mirror lol.
I do like my eyes a bit because they look a bit lifeless, I'm really into trying to capture the uncanny valley with real people. I like the disturbing look of slight artificiality in a mostly normal human looking form.
thanks for the crit. I'm going to go look at what it looks like more desaturated.
heres just a version I was playing around with for a few minutes just to get an idea of what some of the suggestions look like.
heres another recent self portrait in the bathroom mirror. After looking at it recently after taking 2 months ago I think the color is a bit muddy. What do you think?

Surviving and even thriving in the midst of today's economic upheaval is the challenging task we all face. Many churches in addressing financial matters will focus on the area of giving the tithe, which is paramount, yet oftentimes overlook what God says about handling the other 90 percent. As a result, millions of people look to financial counselors like Dave Ramsey and Suze Orman or secular forecasters for guidance and help.
Here's the deal as we close out this year: God wants to both encourage and instruct all of us (myself included)to be ever looking to Him as our ultimate Provider in addition to being better financial stewards so we can glorify Him and be channels of blessing to others in need.
This is personal for my wife and me as we find ourselves closing the year without any more partial salary from a local church, health insurance, cell phone coverage or any perks that have been part of my ministry for over 41 years. This is by divine design as God recently transitioned me from a local church involvement "because of the impending distress" (1 Cor 7:26) coming upon America to serve the wider Body of Christ in our desperate need for spiritual awakening and assurance as children of God. more >>
Fast food workers are planning a strike to force employers to pay them $15 per hour. This Thursday, in over 100 cities across the nation, Big Labor is coordinating with "grassroots" activists to pressure these employers to pay a "living wage." From all the press, you'd think the push toward higher wages was something noble. But, this is Big Labor. And no one will bully, threaten or intimidate to steal your hard earned money more than Big Labor.
The group Fast Food Forward, one of the organizations in sync with Big Labor to shame fast food restaurants into extinction, states their purpose:
In America, people who work hard should be able to afford basic necessities like groceries, rent, childcare and transportation. While fast food corporations reap the benefits of record profits, workers are barely getting by - many are forced to be on public assistance despite having a job. Raising pay for fast food workers will benefit workers and strengthen the overall economy. more >>
Welcome to the Liberals' version of the Hunger Games, America; unapologetically brought to you by our Progressive friends in the Democrat Party, whose economic policies have lifted a record number of Americans from the middle class and plopped them face down -- into poverty the past five years.
I know. This makes no sense, considering they claim they are the party for the folks, insisting they are fighting to expand the middle class. Forget what they say for a moment and take a look at what they've done the past five years. It seems the only things they've expanded are the size of government, welfare rolls, homelessness, unemployment, and the number of people who no longer believe anything that comes out of their mouths, thanks to Obamacare.
Now a third quarter U.S. Census report, "Income, Poverty and Health Insurance in the United States: 2012" reveals Americans' real median income has plateaued the past three years, flat-lining at a rate much lower than it was in 2007. In a nutshell, President Obama's first term offered American households a 4.89 percent, or $2627 decrease in the real median household income. According to CNS News, the real median household income was $53,644 in 2008 and has dropped every year since. more >>
After 16 days of political brinkmanship, lawmakers passed a temporary funding plan that raised the debt ceiling and reopened the federal government.
But now, the nation is just barreling toward a new set of deadlines -- lawmakers have until January 15 to deal with the budget and February 7 to deal with the debt ceiling. Until Congress sets the country on stable financial footing for the long term, we're bound to play this game over and over again.
As lawmakers begin negotiations, the conversation must start with tax and entitlement reform. This begins with Medicare and Social Security, as they're the most pressing challenges facing our country. more >>
In a scorching critique of a speech in which Sarah Palin compared the national debt to slavery, MSNBC host Martin Bashir suggested that perhaps someone should poop and urinate in the mouth of the former governor of Alaska and GOP vice presidential nominee.
Mocking her as "America's resident dunce" for using the analogy, Bashir played a clip of the remarks Palin made two Saturdays ago while promoting her book, Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas, at the annual Iowa Faith and Freedom Conference.
"Our free stuff today is being paid for today by taking money from our children and borrowing money from China," she explained. more >>
The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, sarcastically known as Dodd-Frankery and Dodd-Frankenstein, was passed into law in response to the financial crisis and recession of 2008. It contains the most drastic changes to financial regulations since the regulatory reform after the Great Depression. Proposed by Obama in 2009 and signed into law in 2010, the Democratic bill was the handiwork of former Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) in the House and former Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) in the Senate. It was supposedly going to stop banks from making loans to risky buyers who could not pay them back, reducing foreclosures. It was also supposed to change the rules so banks could no longer receive taxpayer-funded bailouts due to their poor business practices.
It hasn't worked out the way its Democrat proponents claimed. This is because the people who got us into this mess are the same ones who drafted the law. Dodd-Frank contains more of the same things that precipitated the financial crisis; government meddling in the mortgage business and financial markets. Lobbyists for special interests carved out loopholes, resulting in merely different lists of winners and losers. As one author in U.S. News & World Report observed, "These exemptions are less about protecting unsophisticated borrowers than about protecting the taxpayer-guaranteed business models of favored entities." Hedge funds and some other firms lost big; they are now required to fill out a 192-page form that has been estimated to cost each firm $100,000-$150,000.
Speaking of winners or losers, most outrageously, Dodd-Frank didn't bother to reform Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the biggest culprits for handing out mortgages to high-risk borrowers who should never have qualified for them. They received the largest bailouts of all financial institutions in 2008. more >>

1999 Chevrolet Venture • 6 cylinder FWD Automatic •
1999 Chevy Venture van, 3100 V6 automatic transmission. Has issues with the shifting. When its cold it will not go into gear, just act like its in nuetral. When it warms up it will go into gear fine and pull and hold fine, but it just left me stranded sunday night. While I was driving, it just started slipping or acting like it was in nuetral and wouldn't move and I had to ahve it towed home. The next day I started it up and it wouldn't move, while I was checking the fluid level I left it running so it was warming up. The fluid level is a bit over full and has a slight burnt smell but not to strong of a smell. After the van warmed up again the trans worked fine and pulled and held fine. I even went so far as to put it in gear and hold the brake and try to go to see if it would slip but it held and pulled still with no problem. Help

It's usually the other way around. They work cold but not warm. You could try a flush/ new filter?
It's usually the other way around. They work cold but not warm. You could try a flush/ new filter? Maybe you have varnish problem. So see if theirs something made to clean valve body before flushing it.
I did a filter and 5 quarts of fluid about a year ago. Then when I had the van serviced a little over a month ago they told me the trans fluid was low and added more. Since its been acting funny and just recently started the problem listed above. Thanks for your time.

How to Teach the "th" Sound
Posted by Debbie under Articulation | Permalink | | Leave A Comment | 7 Comments
"TH" is a sound that many children have trouble producing, but it is a very easy sound to teach. There are actually two TH sounds. One is voiceless, as in the word, "bath." The other is voiced, as in the word, "that." The voiceless TH is usually mastered by age 5 or 6, but the voiced TH may still be mispronounced by many children until age 7.
TH is produced by protruding the tongue slightly between the front teeth and blowing. The voiced TH is produced the same way, but uses the voice instead of the breath.
Demonstrate TH using a mirror. Instruct the child to "bite your tongue and blow."
If the child substitutes F or V for TH, draw his attention to the use of the tongue and teeth to make the sound. The teeth and lip should not make contact. Practice "f-th-f-th" to contrast the two sounds. If necessary, gently push the lower lip out of the way.
To teach the voiced TH, instruct the child to imitate the voiceless TH and to "turn his voice on." It may be taught by having him say "zzzz," then gradually move his tongue forward to between the teeth.
Have your child practice the TH in isolation until it is easy for him. Then have him try it at the beginning of words, such as thing, thick, thunder, this, or that.
My book, Super Star Ch, J, and Th contains many other helps, practice activities, picture cards, and games to help you teach your child the TH sound.

What about the th sound in the middle of the word? Like in mother, brother, father. My 9 year old son pronounces these words mudder, brudder, fadder in regular speech, but if I ask him to say the word in isolation, he can say it correctly.
Comment by: Debbie

Have him practice the word several times in a row– "mother, mother, mother." Then have him practice the word in simple sentences until it becomes a habit.

My child is 8/in 3rd grade. He is well above level academically. He started speaking later than most and had speech therapy from age 26 months for approximately 6 months. Based on the examples above, it is the "voiced" TH sound that is a problem. Think = fink. The teacher brought this to our attention and said she didn't feel a referral to the school speech pathologist was needed at this time as he is doing very well in school. Should we/the teacher be correcting him when he mispronounces this sound?
Comment by: Debbie
9:23 am, 28 November 2012
It will probably not help to correct him when he is speaking. However, you could practice single words with him until he can produce them easily, then work on sentences in structured settings, working up to conversation. If you would like him to receive speech services from the school, then you might need to make a case that it is affecting him academically–such as he is reluctant to speak up in class because of his speech errors.

The mother of a parking valet killed in a hit-and-run accident shook and sobbed during a court hearing today for Eliu Montes-Garcia, one of four people facing charges related to his death.
Three members of Jose Medina's family attended the brief advisement hearing in Denver District Court: his fiancee Shannon Bertness, his mother and an aunt.
Through their lawyer, Gabriel Schwartz, the women declined to make a comment. He wouldn't disclose the names of Medina's mother or aunt.
"They wanted to look the defendant, Montes-Garcia, in the eye to make him know he is going to be held responsible for his actions," Schwartz said.
Police suspect that Norma Vera-Nolasco, 31, was behind the wheel of a white GMC extended-cab pickup on Jan. 22 when it plowed into Medina, 21, throwing him about 100 feet.
He was working as a valet parking attendant and was struck as he held a car door open for a patron outside the Rockstar Lounge on Lincoln Street in downtown Denver. Medina had recently moved to Denver from Salt Lake City.
Today, Montes-Garcia, 28, stood in a yellow jail jump suit and faced forward throughout the advisement hearing.
He is one of four people arrested for the crime. All four are in the country illegally, officials said. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed holds on all four, so they will be delivered to the agency if local authorities release them for any reason.
The charges allege that Montes-Garcia, Yolanda Bastida-Nolasco and Guadalupe Bastida destroyed evidence, helped hide the vehicle and helped Vera-Nolasco flee the state.
Vera-Nolasco faces charges of vehicular homicide DUI, vehicular homicide reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death, and criminal impersonation, according to the district attorney's office.
Vera-Nolasco was arrested Jan. 26, by Phoenix police after being taken from an airplane that was leaving Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport for Mexico.
Montes-Garcia has been deported twice.
He waived his right to be advised of the charges and is due back in court on Feb. 24.
