The Purpose of the Adventure is the Adventure itself. The Shredder Film Festival is a celebration of stories.
Now in its 6th year running, the SSIFF has grown tremendously. in 2009 the first Shredder Festival was held in the upstairs function room of the smallest library in town. The room sat 20 people comfortably leaving just enough room for an old broken projector and an off white sheet on the wall. Since then SSIFF has grown in numbers, but remains true to its purpose: to showcase the talents and the stories of filmmakers who's work often goes unnoticed. This years festival is geared toward broadening the the knowledge of independent film through the small town of Quechee, Vermont by bringing in some international talent while also boosting our local spotlight and showcasing more New England based filmmakers than any previous year!

Sarge is a H.S. friend of mine on the f/295 pinhole forum, he's the first one I heard use that phrase.
BTW, I lament the dearth of women in the forums too, I want to see more of you practicing this art form. Then again the forums may be so testosterone laden that they are keeping their distance. :D
I think the mechanics of reading/posting fits the male brain better in some way that's not well understood.
All online stuff is mostly dominated by males unless it is a topic that is extremely female oriented.
So a gender specific topic will garner a gender based audiences, but a gender neutral topic will "usually" thin down to a males dominated group. I suspect exactly the opposite would occur if it were a face to face group like a community group of quilters.
Mebbe the gals are too busy doin' it and don't need to talk about it.
I do notice one thing different, and this is only an observation I have seen. Women tend to photograph portraiture, while men are more apt to do nature and architecture. I could be wrong. But from what I can tell women want the human connection. I have not poked around ya'll galleries to see if I'm right but I'd wager on that too.
So back on track, thank you all for your advice and help with me troubles, Thank you very much I shall soon be a ninja in the darkroom :ninja:.

4. What Allen might be remembered for most during his time at Ohio State is his vicious hit on Willis McGahee. In the second half of the 2003 national title game, Allen tackled McGahee and delivered a shoulder blow to his left knee. The replays left fans squeamish as he suffered ligament damage and was forced to miss his whole rookie year in the NFL.

I have a very straight forward class with mostly NSString type properties. In it, I wrote a trivial implementation of the description method. I found that whenever I try to include "self" in the description, it crashes my iPhone app. An example is something such as the following:
- (NSString *)description
NSString *result;
result = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"me: %@\nsomeVar: %@", self, self.someVar];
return result;
As soon as I remove the first parameter to the format string, self, it works as expected.

Captain Chris Donato is now back in SAMOA! We took some time to travel with Southern Destiny and after spending time fishing the other south pacific islands and a year fishing in Vanuatu we are ready to put you on the fish back in the beautiful Polynesian islands of Samoa. We are still the same tournament winning boat and the same organization that has broken records and consistently found the fish throughout the South Seas.
There is no better time then now to fish with well known and season tested, Captain Chris Donato. Chris is a 100 ton US Coastguard Master Captain who has traveled and fished several fishing hot spots and has spent many years fishing in and around the Polynesian and recently Melanesian islands of the south pacific. He has experienced different techniques and skills used in other fisheries and is prepared with a bag of tricks that will makes sure to put you in the best possible place to be on the fish. We can accommodate first time novice fisherman as well as expert anglers looking for IGFA World records,national records,line class records or personal records. There is no goal to far for us, we do ask you be specific if you have a certain kind of fishing in mind or a personal goal you would like to achieve.
GRANDERS, 1000 lb MARLIN
My opinion, and this is based on longline catch reports and different scenarios I have seen, is that Samoa and some of the other pacific islands are where these marlin come to spawn. Warm water, plenty of food and proximity to major currents makes it an ideal places to spawn. This explains why some of the most juvenile blue and striped marlin have been caught in Samoa. This also would indicate that certain seasons we would have large females in the 1000lb class roaming our waters ready to spawn with small male marlin. Why have more people not caught them, because nobody is fishing for them or running gear able to deal with them. People see but most are lost.
We have seen a few and just recently in Nov landed and weighed one that went 1024 lbs. I know if and when Samoa becomes more popular and big game boats begin to fish here more regularly we will see several Granders caught a year and the best thing is I have seen big fish here all year round. If your interested in Grander hunting please specify in your email and we can dictate a trip that best suites you as I have a few spot I believe are the areas where they are congregating, with that being said our latest grander 1024 lb blue was caught only 7 miles from the dock just outside the harbour around a school of yellowfin. They are here and waiting for you the question is ARE YOU READY FOR THEM!!!Capt Chris
Come enjoy SAMOA fishing on the LEILANI our 37 Merritt with Captain Chris Donato and his crew as featured in-
So for me I always felt it's the experience and atmosphere that makes Blue Marlin fishing so special, there are so many great fishing spots the world over but in saying that i have always had a special love for Samoa and the fishing has always impressed me above other locations. I guess what I'm saying is that although the fishing can be world class at times it's really the beautiful weather,people and calm seas that have made Samoa a place I love to fish. I can't guarantee that you will come to Samoa and catch a Grander but I can guarantee you will have an amazing experience on and off the water and a bunch of fast energetic blue marlin are the icing on the cake. A good day for us would be 8 Blue Marlin but the average day is about 2-3. Of course there are plenty of mahi mahi and tuna, but I'm talking about Marlin

But these kids make for wan enemies, after the Mephistopheles Berezovsky almost too small to pick on.
The characteristics of Faust and Mephistopheles never became fully linked in Verlaine; they only interlaced.
Possibly, like Mephistopheles in Faust, he may retaliate on his adversaries.
Planon,—once Jupiter now Mephistopheles, the extremes meeting in one singer,—excellent.
Corporal Penington was, I believe, as usual, the inspiring Mephistopheles of the affair.
This pastime so pleased Faustus, that he gave Mephistopheles the will that he had made, and kept a copy of it in his own hands.
"My dear fellow, I am not Mephistopheles," laughed the narrow-eyed doctor.
He was by turns everything that was bad, dangerous, and absurd, from Mephistopheles to a madman.
Mephistopheles himself is the most interesting of all Devils.
Then a sickening suspicion crept over him; he communicated it by a look to Mephistopheles.
1590s, the evil spirit to whom Faust sold his soul in the German legend, from German (1587), of unknown origin. According to the speculation of eminent Göthe scholar K.J. Schröer (1886) it is a compound of Hebrew mephitz "destroyer" + tophel "liar" (short for tophel sheqer, literally "falsehood plasterer;" cf. Job xiii:4). Klein writes that the names of devils in the Middle Ages "are in most cases derived from Hebrew."

Hello Everybody and anyone else I may have missed,
My name is Stephendragonfly. It seems like I have been dancing around Burning Man for years, I know quite a few burners, have been offered free tickets, but I haven't yet made it to the playa. I first learned of Burning Man back in 1996 when my friend went and sold her soul at Helco. Anyway, I am hoping that this will be the year I finally get to go, but with the high price of tickets, I am unsure. The various boards I have read indicate that people are pretty frustrated with the handling of ticket sales this year. I hope that negativity doesn't end up at the event. Overall, the people I know who have been going to this thing have been the most creative and optimistic people anywhere. That's all for now. Will talk yer ears off again soon.

Gold Fields Yield Gains After Cut to Junk: Johannesburg Mover
Gold Fields Ltd. yields on notes due 2020 rose to the highest in six months after Moody's Investors Service cut the fourth-largest gold producer's credit rating to junk on a plan to spin off its South African assets.
The unbundling "will initially lead to an overall weaker credit profile after the transaction is concluded," Gianmarco Migliavacca, a Moody's analyst, said in an e-mailed statement today. Moody's cut the global scale issuer rating and senior unsecured rating of Gold Fields Orogen Holding (BVI) Ltd. to Ba1 from Baa3 and said the outlook was negative.
The yield on the 4.88 percent dollar-denominated note rose 7 basis points to 5.8 percent, the highest since June 6, as its price fell, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Gold Fields plans to separate a unit controlling the Kloof-Driefontein Complex, Africa's largest gold operation, and the Beatrix mine, it said Nov. 29, naming the new company Sibanye Gold Ltd. The deep-level mines under Sibanye require a different management and strategy to those remaining within Gold Fields to maximize value for shareholders, the company said.
Gold Fields' credit profile will initially be weaker as two cash-generative assets will be spun out to Sibanye, Moody's said. The profile will recover once South Deep, a mine under development, begins generating cash, it said. Standard & Poor's cut Gold Fields to junk on Nov. 15, saying the risk in South Africa increased as social and political tensions rose.
Paring Loss
"The negative outlook assigned to Gold Fields Ltd.'s ratings is primarily driven by the near-term deterioration of free cash flow and higher reliance of cash flows from its operations in Ghana in the short to medium term, until the South Deep project is complete and can contribute towards healthy positive free cash flows," Moody's said.
Gold Fields shares fell 2.2 percent to 99.58 rand at the close of trade in Johannesburg, where the company is based.
The rating also accounts for "the credit positive aspects of the transaction such as lowering the company's cost base, thus contributing towards more sustainable higher operating margins and reducing exposure to South African mining industry risk factors," Moody's said. Those include productivity losses because of labour unrest and higher-than-inflation wage and electricity price increases, Migliavacca said.
Gold Fields and larger rival AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. had all of their South African mines halted in the third quarter as unauthorised strikes for higher pay spread across the country.
Following the unbundling of its Kloof-Driefontein complex and Beatrix assets, Gold Fields will be the seventh-largest gold producer with projected annual production of 2 million ounces a year, Moody's said.

[Hook: Wiz Khalifa]
Lyric Meaning
Makes sense that Wiz, a notorious pot smoker, does this hook solely about weed. Wiz embraces his marijuana image, strongly incorporating it into his public image. He reportedly smokes $10,000 worth of dank per month.
Interesting that the hook of this song be focused on marijuana. The previous verse and bridge performed by Wiz talk about his rise to fame…so why follow with a hook like this? This hook may seem unexpected, but there must be some significant reason Wiz dedicated the hook (as well as the title) of this song to weed. Well, his track discusses three topics: fame, marijuana, and homies. Maybe he's saying that these three different aspects of his life are all intertwined: he's smoked herb with his friends ever since back in the day; even now with all his fame, that fact still hasn't changed.

I know femal pornstars some times do several,but I always wondered how many that male stars does. If you look at some of the cumshots,they had to be doing more than one,because some of the cumshots today is just pathetic. Whats up with those extremely small cumshots,why do directors put them in the movie.It totally ruins a scene when there only comes out a little drop.

I have personally known one male performer to do three scenes in one day. If one does, I would imagine more than one does. I seriously doubt that is a regular day, though. It wasn't for the performer I knew personally. Although, two in one day wasn't particularly unusual for him. Wasn't regular, but wasn't unusual.

Alot of the same guys perform as noted in another on going thread. So, even though they may make less than the ladies on average. The guys can make up for it by pure volume of scenes. Steve Holmes said that he could pretty much work every day if he wanted to. Well, $600(or more if you are popular) adds up fast if you work most every day and sometimes shoot more than one scene in a day. Hey, and the guys have a better chance than the ladies to eventual become directors, owners etc. I would think.

I am in love with solid lotion bars! Even the best homemade soap cannot keep this Minnesota girl moisturized all year round. I use a lotion bar on my legs after shaving and on the heels of my feet. They are easy to use - just rub on the area you want moisturized.
Each bar will come in a twist up polypropylene tube (#5 recyclable). The tubes are shrink wrapped.
The last photo represents what the tube will look like with label in place.
These are great for traveling as they do not count as a liquid!
Do not allow your lotion bar to get too warm though - it will melt! Don't worry though, it will firm back up once it cools down.
Many scents of my lotion bars have matching soaps! Pair with the soap for a fabulous gift!
Contents: Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Beeswax, Fragrance or Essential Oil.
See the drop down list below for all available scents.
See the Scent Descriptions Page for descriptions of all scents.
Customer Review - I have to tell you, I love this lotion! I totally regret not taking a before and after picture of my heels. They were dry, cracked, and looked horrible! Now they are smooth! Smooth! My feet would catch on the sheets and scratch my husband at night, they were so bad. And, now they are so much better. So, Thank You for introducing me to this lovely lotion!!

By Kat Giantis
Jay Z and Solange Knowles announced on Thursday that they have "apologized to each other" and "moved forward as a united family" after their caught-on-camera elevator scuffle.
"As a result of the public release of the elevator security footage from Monday, May 5th, there has been a great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident. But the most important thing is that our family has worked through it," Jay, Solange and Beyoncé said in a statement to the Associated Press. "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public."
But has the spark that set off Solange's volcanic temper tantrum been identified? Two different outlets claim that a Met Gala confrontation over designer Rachel Roy's supposed flirtiness with Jay Z prompted the singer's dustup with her brother-in-law as big sister Beyoncé stood by.
"At the gala, Rachel was being flirtatious with Jay," a source contends to E! News. "Once everyone was at the Boom Boom Room [at the Standard Hotel] for the afterparty, her flirtations were elevated."
The New York Daily News says Solange "barked" at Roy, the ex-wife of Jay's former business partner Damon Dash, to keep her distance.
"Rachel is a little too close to Jay Z," maintains an insider. "Solange doesn't like it, and Beyoncé doesn't like it."
According to the E! spy, "Beyoncé approached Rachel to let her know the behavior was disrespectful, and she wanted her out of their lives for good. Solange came over to have her sister's back and things got heated with her and Rachel. Jay said some disrespectful things to Beyoncé and Solange as the confrontation was going down. That's why all hell broke loose in the elevator and why Beyoncé just stood back and let Solange hit Jay."
In their statement, the trio stressed that the many rumors swirling around Solange from that night aren't true: "The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems, and we're no different. We love each other and above all we are family. We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same."

PIERRE, S.D. – (DRG News) A fire at a Pierre home early today resulted in injuries to one person and left as much as $20,000 damage to the structure. The blaze-at 225 South Adams Avenue-was first noted about 3:40 a.m., according to Pierre Fire Chief Bill Alexander. He says firefighters were initially contacted to investigate heavy smoke in the area near Adams and Wells Avenues.
Alexander says when firefighters determined the home was the source of the smoke; they were able to see the glow of a fire from a window. The flames were mostly contained to one room and he says the fire department was able to quickly put out the blaze.
The lone occupant of the house was injured as he attempted to get out of the structure-according to Alexander.
The man was taken to St. Mary's Healthcare Center to be treated. Two cats that were in the house were found deceased in the living room. Alexander says the small home sustained fire damage in one room and smoke and heat damage throughout.
The Oahe Chapter of the American Red Cross is working with the occupant of the home to offer assistance. Alexander says an investigation into the blaze is complete. He says the fire is unintentional in nature and is considered accidental. Alexander says firefighters could not come up with definitive cause for the blaze. The fire did not threaten any other nearby structures. Fire crews were at the scene of the fire until just after six this morning.

During the month of October Alabama grocery shoppers will notice more home grown fare lining shelves, in the produce section and freezer compartments.
Under Governor Bob Riley's "Buy Alabama's Best!" food product program, more than 1,100 stores statewide will display buy Alabama's best posters in the front of the businesses starting Saturday.
Riley says the program is important to farmers, ranchers, state-based manufacturers and the state's economy for consumers to buy those goods.
The governor said, "We need to promote it. We need to tell the people of Alabama, 'This product was manufactured in this state. This product was produced in this state."
Discount coupons for recommended products will be featured in the state's Sunday newspapers and on daily TV during next month's celebrations.

Here it is Father's Day 2013 and the U-B letters page is once again partially consumed by one of our Valley's most prolific letter writers.
We've read his letters time and again advancing the theme that "climate change is a hoax." Sunday's letter is possibly his most focused yet, as half of the letter is devoted to one scientist who he refers to as a "real" scientist — Richard S. Lindzen Ph.D.
I decided to look on Wikipedia and review its broad-based, open coverage of this "real" scientist.
There is a lot to read, and it's crystal clear Richard S. Lindzen Ph.D is less than "one of the most distinguished climate scientists in the world" as suggested by our local anti-climate change devotee/writer.
Three Wikipedia references (taken directly as printed) about Richard S. Lindzen, Ph.D, stand out:
1) Lindzen has been characterized as a contrarian, in relation to climate change and other issues. Lindzen's graduate students describe him as "fiercely intelligent, with a deep contrarian streak."
2) The April 30, 2012, New York Times article included the comments of several other experts. Christopher S. Bretherton, an atmospheric researcher at the University of Washington, said Lindzen is "feeding upon an audience that wants to hear a certain message, and wants to hear it put forth by people with enough scientific reputation that it can be sustained for a while, even if it's wrong science. I don't think it's intellectually honest at all."
Kerry A. Emanuel, another MIT scientist, said of Lindzen's views "Even if there were no political implications, it just seems deeply unprofessional and irresponsible to look at this and say, 'We're sure it's not a problem.' It's a special kind of risk, because it's a risk to the collective civilization."
3) An April 30, 2012, New York Times article by Justin Gillis said that "at gatherings of climate change skeptics ... Dr. Lindzen has been treated as a star", but that in the view of "the scientific majority ... he has gone beyond any reasonable reading of the evidence to provide a dangerous alibi for inaction."
I am writing this response because I worry about those readers who want to believe everything they read without doing their own "due diligence" regarding fact checking.
While curiously obsessed people work overtime debating life and death issues as if it's a game of right vs wrong, the rest of us are struggling to survive the stark realities that surround us all 24/7/365.

OK, I read the entire Wikipedia article on Dr. Lindzen. Apparently, you believe he is not a "real" scientist, despite his long and distinguished scientific career, his more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers, his membership in the NAS, his participation in two of the IPCC panels on climate change, and his numerous honors and awards, all because . . . .he disagrees with you and the scientists you choose to agree with.
See, you and those like you are exactly why I am a climate change skeptic. It's not enough for you to say that his is the minority scientific view, or to criticize his specific scientific conclusions. No, you have to deny his entire life's work and everything he's ever accomplished. The religious zeal and viciousness with which climate change apologists attack any heretics seem to me to make it less about the science and more about their emotions. And emotions make for bad science and even worse public policy.
I commend to you, and others who may want to understand how these things work, a book called Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. Written in the mid-1800s, it still manages to help explain such human social curiosities as our recent housing bubble, the dot.com bubble of the late 1990s, and Mr. McFarland's style of AlGorism.

Seen stratospheric photos of glaciers progressively shrinking is darn compelling to any one who is willing to believe the photos are real. The science behind this phenomena is interesting... but if a bird looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, the GD bird is a ------duck! There is going to be plenty of melted water for this happy duck to swim in. Something else, Dr. Lindzen is a quack, quack!

What powers does Wolverine from X-Men have?
Wolverine is a mutant who possesses the ability to regenerate damaged or destroyed areas of his cellular structure at a rate far greater than that of an ordinary human. The sp…eed at which this healing factor works varies in direct proportion with the severity of the damage Wolverine suffers. For example, he can fully recover from an ordinary gunshot wound in a non-vital area of his body within minutes, but it took him almost two months to fully recover from injuries sustained in a duel with Lord Shingen, which included one from a sword that went all the way through his trunk. Wolverine's natural healing also affords him virtual immunity to poisons and most drugs, as well as an enhanced resistance to diseases. For example, it is nearly impossible for him to become intoxicated from drinking alcohol. He also has a limited immunity to the fatigue poisons generated by bodily activity, and hence he has greater endurance than an ordinary human. His agility and reflexes are similarly enhanced. In addition, Wolverine's healing factor provides him with an extended lifespan by slowing the effects of the aging process. Although over a century old, Wolverine is as healthy and physically fit as a man in his prime. Wolverine also possesses superhumanly acute senses, making him capable of seeing things at a maximum distance greater than a normal human's. His hearing is enhanced in a similar manner, and he is able to recognize people and objects by scent, even if that person or object is hidden. Wolverine can use these enhanced senses to track any creature with an impressive degree of success. Wolverine's skeleton includes six retractable one-foot long bone claws, three in each arm, that are housed beneath the skin and muscle of his forearms. Wolverine can, at will, release these slightly curved claws through his skin beneath the knuckles on each hand. The skin between the knuckles tears and bleeds, but the blood loss is quickly halted by his healing factor. Wolverine can unsheathe any number of his claws at once, although he must keep his wrists straight at the moment his claws shoot from his forearms into his hands. When unsheathed, the claws are fully within his hands, and thus Wolverine can still bend his wrists. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than that of normal human bone structure, allowing Wolverine to cut through most types of flesh and natural materials. Despite the extent of his healing factor, Wolverine is not immortal. If the injuries are extensive enough, especially if they result in the loss of vital organs, large amounts of blood, and/or loss of physical form, such as having flesh burned away by fire or acid, Wolverine can die. He cant die if he has his flesh burned away because in X-men 3 the last stand all of his skin gets removed by Jane's telekinetic powers and he grows it back with his healing factor (MORE)

Tips for Dividing Perennials
Dividing your perennials can mean the difference when it comes to regrowing your crops and gardens. A lot of people have difficulties when it comes to dividing plants; never c…ertain when to divide, how much to divide, or even why to divide. Dividing your perennials and proper preparation will reward you with stronger, healthier crops when the next season comes. Even some of the oldest plants can continue to flourish with division.Waiting until your plants are dying or sick will greatly reduce any chance of regrowth, sometimes even completely eliminating the option of dividing them. It is often in your best interest to divide when the plant is at its peak, just as you're beginning to see some of the warning signs of aging.It is often advised against dividing plants in bloom. It is known that they are more sensitive and require more care when in this state. Applying a little bit of common sense and being careful will help reduce the stress in the event that you have no other choice but to divide plants in bloom.The drip line is where water drips from the plant's leaves at its furthest. This is typically the best spot to start digging in order to reduce as much damage to the roots as possible. Usually, the plant's roots will only grow this far, and beginning here will eliminate as much stress on the root system as possible.Take note of what types of roots your plant has; clumps or offsets, surface roots, taproots, woody roots, or underground roots. These will often be your guide in how to divide and replant your plants in the next season.Allow your perennials to grow and flourish by giving them ample room between other plants. Use their roots to tell you how much room they need; no less than the outer edges of the root system should suffice, but allow for more in the event your plants may grow larger.It is generally safe to divide anytime. However, in order to receive the optimum use of your time versus return, divide when the ground is warmer than the air. By doing this, you will enable the newly divided roots to grow and regain a solid foundation while the rest of the plant stays low and safe.Roots will survive easier before being replanted if they are kept in 50 percent humidity at 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrapping the roots in newspaper and keeping them in a dark place, while occasionally sprinkling water on them (careful not to soak) will help slow down any drying and preserve them for much longer.Rejuvenating the soil where you intend to plant with organic matter will create a solid foundation and provide more nutrients for replanting. Your perennials will take hold quicker and regrow faster, provided they were reintroduced to a healthy environment.The plants that either maintained or grew the most roots will most likely grow, sometimes exponentially. Over-crowding of plants can severely reduce their odds of survival and prospering. Starting with the largest sections and working down will foster growth of the smaller batches and provide longer blooms for all the plants.You should only keep the healthiest parts of your plants. Take note of any discoloration, pest problems, or eroded roots, as these are fair signs that a root system or plant is no-good. Not only will these not likely survive, but they very well may end up hurting the plants around them, too.Perennials require special care when compared to other crops, as they are sensitive and delicate. However, they can be much less hassle with dividing. By following these simple tips and learning about your specific plants, primarily their roots, you can help ensure safer and more prolific gardening. Your crops will likely flourish and live vigorously with healthy dividing techniques.Learn as much as you can about your specific gardens or crops. Perennials are not all created equal, but can often require very specific tools and timing for dividing. For instance, blanket flowers are best divided in summer or fall and done by hand, while Monkshood are best divided in summer with a spade or pitchfork. Some simply should not be divided. (MORE)

Video Tutorials on How to Divide and Replant Irises
Irises are hardy, perennial plants that bloom in the spring and have abundant green foliage. The flower stems are usually a foot tall or taller. Irises are used as accent plan…ts in perennial gardens and as filler. They grow from rhizomes, which are underground plant stems that send roots downward and plant shoots upward. The rhizomes eventually form a clump. When the iris gets to this stage, it no longer blooms as well. To increase the health and bloom capacity of the plant, dig up the rhizome clump, split it into several rhizomes and replant them. Several videos show you how to divide iris rhizomes and replant them.Learn how to divide and plant irises correctly in a video from Echo Iris Garden. It is especially helpful for first-time iris-growers. Browse the rest of the site to see a list of named iris varieties.[Echo Iris Garden: How to Divide and Plant Irises](http://www.echoiris.com/content/how-divide-and-plant-irises)Irises become compact after three to four years and don't have enough room to grow, so they don't bloom nicely anymore. It is best to dig and replant irises in late July or early August, several weeks before the first freeze. Additional videos from Pleasant Valley Iris Farm show you how to cross two different iris varieties to form a hybrid, and how to plant iris seeds.[Pleasant Valley Iris Farm: How to Separate Irises](http://www.irisfarmer.com/iriscarevideos.html)Indiana University presents this video on how to divide iris plants and care for them. Each rhizome blooms once and then produces another rhizome. Because of this, it is important to continue to separate the rhizomes and let them start the process over again. Rhizomes need to be planted shallowly. Because irises only bloom in spring, it is best to plant them based on the foliage you want to see and not just for the blooms.[Planter's Place: How to Divide Iris Plants](http://www.plantersplace.com/resources/video_detail/IN4__gmp_3I)Iris rhizomes can be left out of the ground for a few days if needed, but it is best to plant them as soon as possible. No special tools are needed to divide irises - the rhizomes often break apart on their own or very easily with your hands. When dividing rhizomes, discard the one that has already bloomed - it won't bloom again.[WonderHowTo: How to Divide and Re-plant Irises](http://gardening-guide.wonderhowto.com/how-to/divide-and-re-plant-irises-339563/)The Siberian iris is a different type than the more common bearded iris. The process of dividing rhizomes is quite similar. The foliage of the two types of irises are different.[Garden Guides: Dividing Bulbs of Siberian Irises](http://www.gardenguides.com/video-61624-planting-spring-gardens-dividing-bulbs-siberian-iris.html)Iris blooms and foliage are nice additions to a perennial garden. They require little care and can withstand difficult conditions. Watch these videos and learn to tend your irises. Their early blooms make them a perfect spring flower.Do not add mulch over iris rhizomes. The rhizomes rot as a result of excess moisture trapped under the mulch. (MORE)

Dividing Iris Bulbs for Best Results
Bearded iris plants are one of the easiest perennials to grow. So easy, in fact, that they increase year after year. To maintain a healthy iris bed, divide the bulbs when your… patch starts to get overly thick, about every three to four years. Follow these tips for iris dividing.Use a spade to remove the entire clump of bulbs. Rinse the soil off of the rhizomes with a garden hose, and remove any dead flower stalks. Removing the entire clump allows you to inspect the bulbs for rot or decay before replanting.Cut the attached rhizomes apart with a sharp knife, rather than breaking them apart. This leaves a cleaner wound which heals over faster. Cut out any soft or mushy bulbs and discard.Lay the freshly-separated rhizomes in a cool shady area for a couple of days until the cut wound dries over enough. Planting right away encourages rot where the bulbs were separated.The best time to divide your iris bulbs is about six to eight weeks after blooming. This allows you to enjoy the blooms of the season. Once replanted, the bulbs need a couple of months to take hold before winter.Iris bulbs need to be planted just under the surface of the soil. Planting too deeply discourages blooms. Plant 12 to 24 inches apart. Using a triangular pattern creates a nice clump.While mulch is necessary for a variety of plants, irises need ventilation and prefer to dry out a bit. Mulching directly over the rhizomes keeps moisture in and leads to bacterial soft rot.Irises are a long-time favorite in the American garden. Proper iris dividing promotes healthy, well-ventilated bulbs that provide years of color.Trimming the green leaves of divided irises before replanting promotes root establishment. Clip the green blades to a length of about 5 inches to allow the plant to focus its energy on root production rather than supporting the foliage. (MORE)

Great Gardening: Dividing Irises With Ease
An iris grows from a rhizome- an underground stem that sends out roots and shoots below the surface and plant stalks and flowers upward through the ground. As an iris plant ge…ts older, it produces more rhizomes, which produces more leaves and flowers. Over time, the old rhizomes die off, decreasing the number of blooms. By dividing irises and replanting the rhizomes every three to five years, you maximize the beauty of these perennials.A rhizome is not a single, large bulb. Instead, it looks like a clump. Loosen the ground around the base of the iris with a garden fork or spade. When the rhizome is loosened sufficiently, remove it from the ground.Shake the plant gently to remove loose clumps of dirt. Wash them off with a hose until see the rhizomes clearly. Inspect them for any iris borers, which are fat, white worms. If you see any, remove them so that they do not cause further damage.Prepare a 10 percent bleach solution with nine parts water and one part bleach. Clean your garden shears with this solution, or select a clean kitchen knife. Make sure the knife or shears is sharp.Using the shears or knife, cut the rhizomes growing on the outside of the clump to separate them from the one in the middle. Most people throw away the old "mother" because it does not re-bloom, but it has the potential to grow additional rhizomes if replanted, so feel free to save it. Use the bleach/water solution to disinfect your cutting tool in between each cut to avoid spreading diseases.Go through the rhizomes, and inspect them closely. If any feel soft or mushy, discard them. Look for other signs of disease, such as discolored rhizomes, rhizomes that lack roots or rhizomes that are small and underdeveloped.Cut off the dead roots, and trim healthy roots to about 2 inches in length. Cut the plant stalk that remains above the ground to about 8 to 12 inches in length. Remove any brown leaves. After all of the rhizomes are cleaned and separated, place them in a dry, shaded area for at least a few days to allow the cut wounds to "scab" before replanting.Choose an area that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight a day, and prepare the soil by making sure it is fertilized and well-drained. Space the plants 12 to 18 inches apart. Dig a hole to allow that allows the rhizome to rest just below the surface of the ground while allowing the roots to fan out a bit. Leave a small bit of the top of the rhizome visible above the ground.Water well after planting the rhizomes. Continue providing 1 inch of water weekly until you see new growth.Dividing irises every few years results in healthy, beautiful plants with bountiful blooms. Give extra rhizomes to your friends, family or neighbors while you have them out of the ground to make both the recipients and the flowers happy.Dividing irises keeps soft rot and damage from pests to a minimum. Inspect the soil around your irises, and watch for soil deterioration. Remove soil that contains rot before replanting divided rhizomes. (MORE)

Re: Star Trek: Online: The Needs of the Many - Discussion (Spoilers)
I didn't like this book very much. Most importantly, I didn't like the way the stories were told but numerous elements bothered me like the existence of the MACOs and Janeway NOT being dead (though she could return). It was just a really dry read, even for someone who plays and loves the game.
That said, the story about Data's resurrection was excellently done. My hat is off to Mr Martin for that one. It was emotionally gripping and the exact tale I would want for that event. I don't think that story could be better told in a future novel. It was also cool to see Picard and Riker's kids grown up.

Creating the best synth starts with the right photos. This guide will help you understand how to take the best photos for Photosynth. Reading it could save you from taking a few hundred pictures only to find out later that Photosynth won't put them together the way you imagined.
You can also download this guide as a pdf: The Photosynth Photography Guide (1MB)
Quick tips
Got more time?
Shooting interiors
Start by standing in the center of the room with your camera zoomed wide. Spin around, taking overlapping shots as you go. Make sure successive photos are overlapped by at least 50%. Depending on how wide your lens goes, you'll probably need to take 15-30 photos to go all the way around.
To give the room a good 3D model, you should next shoot overlapped shots from each of the corners. For saturation coverage and the most reliable reconstructions, shoot from the centers of each wall as well.
Finally, walk around the room shooting the interesting details. Make sure that all your close-ups have ―approach shots‖ providing intermediate sizes of the object you're closing in on. For example, if you're photographing a wall of paintings, and you want to zoom in on a single painting, you'll need to have a few intermediate images to help Photosynth put the whole thing together. See the photos below.
A good rule of thumb is to never move more than half the distance to your subject without taking an additional shot. Similarly, never increase your focal length by more than a factor of 2 without taking an additional shot.
Move in on the subjects that interest you, but make sure you don't move more than 50% of the way in without taking an additional shot.
Copyright Christine Gedye 2008. Used with permission of the artist.
So, remember to:
2D Synths
If you take overlapping shots of a 2D surface at different scales, Photosynth will create a detailed synth of the result. Move the camera so that it's always facing the subject head on. You don't need to shoot it from different angles, although it doesn't hurt if you do.
Shooting a 3-D Object
It's important to get lots of overlap around an object and to walk around it. To get a great synth around a convex object (such as a vase), you'll want to take a photo approximately every 15 degrees, so it takes at least 24 photos to get around a vase perfectly. If your object is not completely convex, you'll need even more.
Make sure that the center of the object is in the middle of the picture, and that the picture frames the entire object. Be sure to include close-ups. This technique can be used for a full circle around an object, a small arc or anything in between.
Want to Use a Turntable?
If you have an object that is small enough to be rotated in front of the camera on a turntable, you should be able to make a fantastic synth with a beautiful navigational 'halo'. If you don't have a photographic turntable, get creative – a plastic kitchen turntable (also known as a 'Lazy Susan') works just fine. Here are the rules for using a turntable:
Now comes the easy part. Take a photo, then rotate the object no more than 15 degrees, then take another photo. Repeat until you have rotated the object through 360 degrees. There is no need to be exact in the amount of rotation between shots, but you should be aware that the 15 degree rule assumes fairly convex shapes. If you have an object with lots of deep narrow cavities, or has lots of complex overlaps, you'll want to shoot with less than 15 degrees of separation.
Going Around Corners
To be safe, you need at least 9 images to go around an exterior corner. In the example below there are solid matches between adjacent images (e.g.: Images 1/2), average matches between pairs that are 2 apart (e.g.: 4/6) and not many between images that are 3 apart (e.g.: 4/7).
Like to process your photos?
If you're the kind of photographer who likes to adjust color or contrast before you share your work, go for it. Photosynth is remarkably resilient to different color casts, and dynamic ranges. If you want to remove red-eye or fix other imperfections in a part of a photo, don't hesitate.
On the other hand, the following operations will confuse Photosynth, and should be avoided if you want a decent reconstruction.
What NOT to do
Avoid drastic angle and scale changes – a close-up of a sign may not stitch in if the only other photo of it is 100 feet away.
What NOT to shoot
There are some subjects that Photosynth just doesn't like. Here are some examples of what works well ('Synthy') and what doesn't:
Ready to get going?
Now that you know what works and what doesn't, you're ready to get started. Don't be discouraged if your first synth doesn't come out as well as you'd hoped. Before long you'll get a feel for the variety of photos that will make the best synth. The most important thing to remember is: have fun!

LilaGirl, supposedly when hair floats for a long time in water it has low porosity, but when it sinks right away it has high porosity. It sounds like your damaged ends have high porosity, (makes sense), but your hair naturally when not damaged, is low porosity.
...Which definitely complicates things when it comes to helping the dryness and breaking.
When my hair gets "crazy" like that I start heading for pure, undiluted oils. Jojoba is usually my favorite, but when I have the kind of breakage where I see a few centimeters of my hair breaking off and landing on my clothes or a table or something, I head for the coconut oil, coconut oil blends, and, believe it or not, Vaseline.
You could try ORS Coconut Oil Cream. Proclaim has a cream the has coconut oil and petrolatum. I haven't used this one, but my friend swears by it. (It's only $1.89 at Sally's too). Another "when all else fails" oldie but goodie is a Cholesterol treatment. I've been using Cholesterol creams since I was around 9. My neighbor use to put Wella Kolestrol in my hair every chance she got. She was big on cholesterol and Alberto VO5
hot oil treatments
[/I], which I think are still around.
While you give your hair a rest from protein, inundate it with moisture, and see if that helps the tangles and cracking.
