stand to find your favorite pumpkin. Let your inner-artist out as you and your
cutie spend an afternoon prepping for Halloween.
Go to a haunted house
Even if you're not into scary stuff, haunted houses are
perfect for fall dates! They're usually not very expensive, plus if you get
spooked your honey will be smitten to protect you from all the monsters. It's a

hand. And if you are great on skates, you could show him a few of your elegant

Maritime Forces in Global Security: Comparative Views of Maritime Strategy as We Appraoch the 21st Century
Tritten, James J., Naval War College Review
Griffiths, Ann L., and Peter T. Haydon, eds. Maritime Forces in Global Security: Comparative Views of Maritime Strategy as We Approach the 21 st Century. Halifax, Nova Scotia: The Centre for Foreign Policy Studies, Dalhousie Univ., 1995. 362pp. $12
This book (fifth in a series of conferences and colloquia on maritime security hosted by Dalhousie University's Centre for Foreign Policy Studies) contains the proceedings of an international colloquium held in June 1994. Its aim was to examine different views of the role of maritime forces, and especially medium maritime powers, in the closing days of the twentieth century. Participants represented primarily Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, but they also came from France, Australia, Argentina, and India.
This work addresses four main topics: new issues in maritime security, cooperative security, maritime strategies of medium maritime powers, and the future of Canadian naval forces.
Although many of the contributors believe that navies no longer exist only to fight wars, one of the major themes addressed at the conference (and by the entire series) is that if warfare at sea cannot be prevented, there should be procedures by which we can cooperate to limit its consequences. The UN figures heavily in the essays.
Another major area of interest was the relationship between the one superpower navy and the world's mediumpower navies. Rear Admiral Richard Hill (Royal Navy, retired) offers a refinement of the definition of a mediumpower navy. Many of the authors point out the differences between the new regional approach to international relations, involving medium powers, and the former global approach that typified the Cold War. The former appears more complex than the latter, and regional issues may be more routinely a threat to peace. It is interesting to note that at least one author still believes that the United States is playing world policeman, despite both words and deeds to the contrary.
It would appear that many of the authors here assume that the United States will have to rely more on its allies and friends and that occasionally these nations may have to go it alone. Consideration of this question is typical of a conference held in a medium-power nation, but the issue is generally ignored in the U.S. armed forces. American naval officers especially generally assume that their allied and coalition partners produce seagoing officers that share both their own love of the sea and their political objectives. …

Not even close: Utah Jazz get hammered and humiliated in San Antonio
It got better for the Jazz momentarily — but then it got much, much, MUCH worse.
Derrick Favors and Paul Millsap led a temporary charge as the Jazz cut the Spurs' lead to five at 31-26.
But in order, Favors and then the Jazz were taken out of the game — one by Corbin, the others by Popovich's crew.
After Favors exited and Al Jefferson entered with 6:50 remaining in the opening half, San Antonio went on a massive 20-0 run, hitting four 3-pointers and simply blowing the Jazz out of the building.
Remember that little fort in downtown Antonio?
More like, forget the AT&T Center.
The killer run, Jefferson said, "just showed that they had a lot of energy and they did what they were supposed to do."
Added Millsap: "It's just like they kicked into another gear. We cut it down to five. They brought their guys back in and they just pushed it out."
With spurs marks in their backsides, things didn't get any better in the second half for the Jazz. San Antonio outscored Utah 34-25 in the third quarter before a contest was held to allow fans to don Spurs uniforms to finish off the Jazz in the final quarter (or so it seemed).
It wasn't the Big Three that doomed Utah, either.
Early on, when it mattered most, it was the Tiny Two of — you guessed it — Danny Green (13 first-half points) and Kawhi Leonard (12 of his 17 in the opening half) who did most of the early damage.
Green had three 3-pointers in the Spurs' spurt, and the ex-San Diego State rookie scored five points during that dominating stretch.
"We were hustling and thought our effort was there for the most part, but we couldn't get the ball to fall in the hole," Corbin said. "Then they came down and got easy shots or make a three-point shot. It kind of took the spirit a little bit from us."
Seven Spurs ended up in double figures, led by Tony Parker's 18 points and nine assists. San Antonio shot 57.3 percent overall and 10-for-22 from deep while also punishing the Jazz in the paint, 62-36.
"This is a great ballclub," Corbin added. "We have to learn that this is how you have to play in the playoffs."
Josh Howard and Big Al were the only double-figure scorers for the Jazz with 10 points apiece in a 34.4 percent shooting night. The Jazz scored 17 points in the first quarter and just 11 in the second.
"They're just a great team," Jefferson said. "They did what they supposed to do on their home floor. They jumped out on us, put their foot on our neck and never released."
Kindly, Tim Duncan (12 points, 13 rebounds) took his foot off of Jefferson's throat long enough for him to get out that sentence.

- Publisher's Summary
- A high level of literacy in both print and digital media is required for negotiating most aspects of 21st-century life, including supporting a family, education, health, civic participation, and competitiveness in the global economy. Yet, more than 90 million U.S. adults lack adequate literacy. Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction synthesizes the research on literacy and learning to improve literacy instruction in the United States and to recommend a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy. The book focuses on individuals ages 16 and older who are not in K-12 education. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment, and accommodations for learning. There is inadequate knowledge about effective instructional practices and a need for better assessment and ongoing monitoring of adult students' proficiencies, weaknesses, instructional environments, and progress, which might guide instructional planning. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction recommends a program of research and innovation to validate, identify the boundaries of, and extend current knowledge to improve instruction for adults and adolescents outside school. The book is a valuable resource for curriculum developers, federal agencies such as the Department of Education, administrators, educators, and funding agencies.

The rear of the home that composer Lyle Mays designed for the family of his sister, Joan K. Johnson, includes contemporary elements. Warren Gerds/Press-Gazette
A QUICK TOUR/Johnson home exterior
Warren Gerds/Press-Gazette
Lyle Mays had to restrain himself a bit when designing the Suamico home of his sister, Joan K. Johnson, and her family.
"I realized that this was for Joan's family, not myself, so I kept it from abstract modern," he said. "I don't go for the country kitchen at all. And I'm also a guy, right, so I go for more stark touches."
The "abstract modern" refers to Mays' main line. The native of Wausaukee is a jazz pianist and composer. He has shared in 11 Grammy Awards as a member of the Pat Metheny Group.
♦ Watch our slideshow
♦ More stories, slideshows in the A is for Architecture series
Architecture is a passion-plus. His interest ranges from current (Christopher Alexander) to historic (Frank Lloyd Wright).
When Joan and her husband, Denver Johnson, hit snags over plans for a home they wanted to build on 10 acres of property they bought in the early 1990s, "I asked my sister if I could take a crack at the design," Mays said.
"I've known for a long time he's basically a creative genius," Joan Johnson said.
Mays researched, asked a lot of questions of the family and explored options for a design that would suit the couple and their two children.
"So much of Joan's emotional connection to the family comes from our grandma, Hilda," he said.
August and Hilda Olson farmed in McAllister in northern Marinette County.
Mays' design incorporated elements from his grandmother's heritage, particularly the traditional Scandinavian farmhouse look with its steep roof, procession of dormers and lower-angled porch roof.
"Joan loved what I came up with and, long story short, it got built, which was one of the most nerve-wracking and exciting periods of my life," Mays said.
"Seeing a foundation actually being dug for a creation of mine was more terrifying than mounting the stage for any concert, and I've played in front of 125,000 people. It was more scary standing there watching this hole being dug."
Mays has designed all his work spaces wherever he's lived, from Boston to the current Los Angeles, but the home that was completed in 1993 was his biggest project.
"The happy ending is they're still in the house, and they still love it," Mays said. "It still works great for them. It's a source of incredible good feelings for me and my sister, and it's a very special thing."
Indeed, Joan Johnson "loves pretty much everything" about the design.
"I love the connection to our grandmother, which is really important to me. She was kind of my role model, my idol, and I wanted that kind of look and I wanted a home that wouldn't look out of style in five or 10 or 15 years.
"We also wanted a home that we could live in until we die, so we didn't want it so large that it couldn't accommodate us at different stages of life."
What kicked Mays' brain into gear as a child was a Lego set his mother bought him. As part of the design process for his sister's home, Mays created a Lego model with a removable roof so the family could peer inside and see what the interior would look like.

The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) publishes the results of a weekly applications survey that covers roughly 50 percent of all residential mortgage originations and tracks the average interest rate for 30 year and 15 year fixed rate mortgages as well as the volume of both purchase and refinance applications.
The purchase application index has been highlighted as a particularly important data series as it very broadly captures the demand side of residential real estate for both new and existing home purchases.
The latest data is showing that the average rate for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage (from FHA and conforming GSE data) declined 3 basis points to 3.94% since last week while the purchase application volume increased 4.4% and the refinance application declined 4.10% over the same period.
With rates trending ever lower, the economy weak and the FOMC members remaining dovish, it will be interesting to see how far rates on the long end can decline. All things being equal, falling home prices, declining purchase applications and record low long lending rates all appear to indicate a deflationary for the macro-economy.
The following chart shows the average interest rate for 30 year and 15 year fixed rate mortgages since 2006 as well as the purchase, refinance and composite loan volumes (click for larger dynamic full-screen version).

Nissan History
The Nissan corporation was first founded in Japan in 1933, and was officially dubbed the Nissan Motor Company in 1934. The first Nissans were sold under the Datsun brand, with the Datsun 1000, a pickup truck, the first to arrive in the US.
In the '60s Nissan merged with Prince Motor Company and began offering passenger cars with the Datsun 210 and 510. With large, American cars dominating the market at the time, when Nissan entered the market it was on the cusp of the small import car revolution in the U.S. The Nissan pickup truck was the first compact truck to hit the U.S. market.
The '70s saw the rise of Datsun's Z cars, which, both new and old, are still sought after today. The Z also cemented Nissan's place in the performance car market, and was joined later by other sporty coupes like the Pulsar, NX, and SX.
In 1981 Nissan dropped the Datsun brand and began selling all cars under the Nissan brand. Nissan did well through the early 1990s, satisfying a variety of customers with sedans like the Sentra, Altima, and Stanza and with larger vehicles like the Pathfinder SUV and Quest minivan. However, by the late '90s, Nissan's fleet had grown stale, and slowing sales and impending bankruptcy threatened the company's future.
Carlos Ghosn, who assumed the role of CEO in 1999, is credited with turning the car manufacturer around. Now Nissan is one of the most profitable car companies in the world, and has released new models like the Murano crossover SUV, the rugged Xterra SUV, and the subcompact Versa in recent years. Nissan is also meeting the supersized truck demand with the Armada SUV and Titan pickup. Many of Nissan's core vehicles, like the Sentra and the Altima, were recently redesigned, and the auto maker is set to release its first hybrid car in early 2007.

Demi Lovato Recalls Joe Jonas Breakup: "I Was Really Mad at Him"
Love hurts! In a interview with ABC's Nightline News, singer Demi Lovato recalls her largely-reported 2010 romance with Joe Jonas that ended -- much to Lovato's surprise -- only a few months later.
"We were in a relationship and we broke up, and at one point, I was really mad at him," Lovato said.
PHOTOS: What happened to these young couples?
Indeed, not too long after their May 2010 breakup (which happened directly before the two former Disney stars were about to hit the road on their Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam tour), Jonas, 23, was seen getting close to Twilight actress Ashley Greene, whom he dated until March 2011.
Now, three years later, the X Factor judge, 20, says she and Jonas have been able to get past their failed romance and maintain a friendship, although it can be difficult at times.
"When you go through heartbreaks and things like that, you always have in mind somebody," she said. "It's like when you hear a song on the radio that reminds you of somebody, you're going to be reminded. But keeping that in mind…it's a delicate balance."
She continued, "Now, I can, fortunately, say, that him and his brother Nick, have always been there for me, and are literally family, and like brothers. We have a great friendship. And we may not be as close as we used to be, but that's OK."
PHOTOS: Demi Lovato through the years
Jonas, who said it was his "choice" to break things off with Lovato in 2010, is trying to be a good friend and support system to the "Heart Attack" singer.
On Tuesday, May 14, he tweeted to her, congratulating the star on her new record, Demi, that hit the same day. "So happy for you!" he wrote.
As Lovato -- who was treated for personal and emotional issues at a rehab facility in 2010 -- puts it, her heartache over Jonas was just another thing she had to learn how to overcome in her life.
Debuting a brand new tattoo this week on her shoulder, one that reads "now I'm a warrior," (in honor of a new song titled "Warrior" on her new album), the former Sonny With a Chance actress says that she's feeling stronger than ever these days, and she hopes her music reflects that.
PHOTOS: Disney stars through the years
"It's a very powerful song," Lovato said of "Warrior." "It is the song that I want my fans to hear, and apply it to any situation that they can relate to."

Yaz to be honored with statue at Fenway
The Red Sox announced Wednesday they will unveil a statue of Hall of Fame left fielder Carl Yastrzemski on Sept. 22.
The statue will be the third outside Fenway Park, and it will be located between the statue of Ted Williams and The Teammates statue near the Gate B entrance.
The statue will depict Yastrzemski tipping his helmet to the crowd as he famously did Oct. 2, 1983, after his final at-bat.
This is quite an honor, Yastrzemski said in a team news release. To have a bronze statue at Fenway Park is something I never could have imagined, and I am very grateful to the Red Sox for this kind gesture.
The statue will be unveiled at an 11 a.m. ceremony prior to the Red Sox game vs. the Blue Jays. Yastrzemski will also throw out the first pitch that day.
Yastrzemski played his entire 23-year major-league career with the Red Sox. He had a career .285 batting average with 452 home runs and 1,844 RBIs.

MADISON, Maine -- A Maine man who served a 48-hour sentence for drunken driving wore something special for his jail booking photo: a T-shirt featuring his mug shot.
Nineteen-year-old Bobby Burt, of Pittsfield, had the mug shot from his June arrest printed on the orange shirt, along with the words, "Sponsored by Bud Light and Somerset County Sheriff."
The mug shot is making the rounds online thanks to The Smoking Gun, which posted it Monday.
Sean Maguire, the jail's compliance manager, said there's no policy on what inmates can or cannot wear for booking photos.
Burt, who's using the mug shot for his Facebook profile picture, didn't immediately return a call left at his place of employment Tuesday.

The HERO3: Black Edition:
The Wi-Fi enabled HERO3: Black Edition is the most advanced GoPro, ever. No expense was spared during its development, resulting in a GoPro that is 30% smaller, 25% lighter and 2x more powerful than previous models. The HERO3: Black Edition is the world's most versatile camera. Built-in Wi-Fi, GoPro App compatibility and the included Wi-Fi Remote (normally a separate accessory) make the HERO3: Black Edition all the more versatile, still.
Smaller, Lighter...Better:
Weighing in at a scant 2.6 ounces, the HERO3: Black Edition is 25% lighter and 30% smaller than the previous models.
2x Faster Video Performance:
The HERO3: Black Edition captures professional, cinema quality video at 2x the resolution and 2x the frame rate of previous models while delivering 2x better low light performance. Slow motion aficionados and industry professionals will love the HERO3: Black Edition's 1080p-60, 720p-120, WVGA-240, 960p-100 and 1440p-48 video modes while those desiring a cinematic look will appreciate the ultra high resolution 2.7KP-30 fps and 4KP-15 fps (Protune only) video modes
3x Faster Photo Performance:
The HERO3: Black Edition's photo performance is 3x improved, now boasting 12MP burst capture at a staggering 30 frames per second with 2x better low light performance compared to previous models. Still Photo and Time-lapse Photo modes remain the same but are now joined by a new Continuous Photo mode that captures continuous 12MP stills at a steady 3, 5, or 10 photo-per-second rate, up to 30 photos at a time.
Improved Sharpness, Less Distortion:
The HERO3's reduced distortion, 6 element aspherical lens combines with user selectable Ultra wide, Medium and Narrow field-of-views to deliver more perspective capture options than ever before. Add the totally updated flat-lens waterproof housing that delivers stunning image sharpness both above and below water and you've got one of the most powerful and durable image capture solutions on the planet.
Redesigned Audio System:
Understanding that sound quality is as important as image quality. GoPro engineers completely redesigned the HERO3 to be as adept at capturing the subtle, natural sounds of voice and music as it is at capturing the immersive sounds of sport. Also improved is GoPro's already famous wind noise reduction, ensuring that you'll hear more of your passion, be it your engine or expletives, and less of the wind during high speed activities.
Built-in Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi Remote Included):
The HERO3 Black Edition features built in Wi-Fi and includes GoPro's Wi-Fi Remote accessory. The Wi-Fi Remote is normally available as a separate accessory but is included with the HERO3: Black Edition. The Wi-Fi Remote is waterproof, wearable and can control up to 50 Wi-Fi enabled GoPros at a time from a range of 600 ft. The HERO3's built in Wi-Fi means it can also be controlled by iOS smartphones and tablets running the GoPro App. The GoPro App enables full camera control and live scene preview on any compatible iOS smartphone or tablet. Please note, a software update for your HERO3 camera is required before using the GoPro app.

Tamping down the crazies
Friday - July 25
nothing this morning. packed my pack.
i was sort of worried that i would be going backwards by taking this hike. However after putting the pack on this morning, i think this will be a good training experience. The pack is about 32 lbs right now with the eno and without filling the two water bottles. 68+ miles with that on my back in NC and TN mountains may be a really good training week. That is if my body survives this :)

The popular IT Leaders Forum returns this afternoon for discussions about how CIOs can better plan for and implement virtualisation technologies.
Virtualisation has proved to be an effective and popular way for organisations to grow their IT estate and capabilities without excessively expanding their physical infrastructure.
However, IT leaders still need to fully understand the implications of virtualisation before investing in the technology.
This event will allow CIOs and IT leaders to discuss the key issues around what it takes for an enterprise to virtualise its infrastructure.
The panellists for the day include:
• Karl Deacon, CTO of outsourcing services, Capgemini UK
• Stuart Dommett, business development manager, Intel
• Mark Leonard, executive vice president - infrastructure services unit, Colt Technology Services Group
• Adrian Steel, head of infrastructure management, Royal Mail Group
Watch Computing.co.uk and follow #CTGITLeaders on Twitter for all the news and debate coming from the event.

The question for anyone who does not have unlimited resources is not whether a reflex lens is "good." It's whether the reflex lens will deliver a better final result compared to using a shorter lens and enlarging more or using a shorter lens with a teleconverter.

text: Oriental WT FB is an extremely warm paper. I've tested most papers on the market today, and Oriental's WT is almost a yellow/green in the mid tones. I think Amidol/Ansco130 are typically "cool tone" developers, but that's just what I know from what I've heard. Maybe the combination of both knocks down the "warmth" of Oriental's paper to a level pleasing to your eye. I've tried it with Ilford CT developer and it seemed to do that. Hey someone with some more background in chemistry want to tell me if there's any relevancy to this or am I just sniffing too much fix?

Red Light Cameras
> Missouri: Traffic Camera Company Invests in Attorney General
Missouri: Traffic Camera Company Invests in Attorney General
Red light camera company gives more money to Missouri attorney general.
Arizona-based red light camera firm American Traffic Solutions (ATS) handed another $5000 check to Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster on March 29. Such donations are key because the Show Me State remains one of the last jurisdictions where automated ticketing machines are in use without the sanction of the legislature. That has put the systems in a precarious legal position.
In February, Circuit Judge Mark H. Neill ruled that the St. Louis city ordinance granting ATS the franchise to issue traffic tickets was "void" because cities do not have police power unless it is granted to them by the state (
view ruling
). Neill clarified that once his decision is finalized, ATS will not be able to operate in the city.
Attorney general opinions on such disputed matters are key because municipalities interested in whether or not they can install red light cameras look to the office for legal advice. Koster's predecessor, then-Attorney General Jay Nixon
stated when the city of Arnold started using red light cameras
in 2005 that he believed tickets sent in the mail were not valid. Koster officially
reversed that stance
last year.
Since taking office in January 2009 Koster, has kept a cozy relationship with the automated ticketing industry. ATS has a dozen registered lobbyists working Missouri lawmakers, and special attention has been given to Koster. On January 10 this year, ATS lobbyist Jorgen Schlemeier bought Koster breakfast. In September 2010, he took Koster golfing -- just three days before ATS formally registered as Schlemeier's client. ATS Lobbyist William A. Gamble wined and dined Koster in June 2009. On March 28, 2012, ATS lobbyist Jane Dueker handed Koster a $1000 check.
Ed Martin, the Republican candidate for attorney general, believes the connections between companies like ATS and Koster are unethical.
"Whether it's trial lawyers seeking no-bid contracts to represent Missourians or campaign supporters selling a czar-like job, Chris Koster has made it clear: like the Obama administration, Koster believes in pay-to-play corruption" Ed Martin told TheNewspaper. "So it comes as no surprise that red-light camera supporters know the way to get Koster's attention -- and approval -- is to shower him with campaign contributions. This is the exact type of Obama-like corruption we need to stop."
Martin, an attorney, was chief of staff to former Governor Matt Blunt (R). He also co-founded the group Missourians Against Red Light Cameras.

Tobacco banned at Sammamish parks
May 14, 2014
By Administrator
Dogs forbidden from athletic fields
New: May 14, 10:14 a.m.
All tobacco products, and anything that seems like a cigarette, will soon be banned in Sammamish parks.
On a 6-1 vote May 6, the City Council voted to change park regulations regarding tobacco and dogs. Nancy Whitten was the lone dissenter.
Under the new rules, cigarettes are forbidden, as are cigars, pipes, hookahs and anything else that involves smoking tobacco. Also restricted are e-cigarettes and chewing tobacco.
Whitten called the ban a "big brother" step, noted that smoking cigarettes is legal, and that smokers are people, too, who also have rights.
"I think a broad ban is a type of intolerance," she said.
The rest of the council rejected her arguments.
Mayor Tom Vance noted the thousands of people each year who die of smoking-related diseases, including those exposed to the smoke simply because they are near someone else who is smoking.
"I think our laws ought to reflect our morals," Vance said.
Councilman Tom Odell explained that both of his parents were smokers, and that smoking led to both of their deaths. He said that he now has breathing problems as a result of having lived with them.
Even so, both of his parents would abide by no-smoking laws, he said, so making the parks off-limits could be helpful.
Councilwoman Kathleen Huckabay noted cigarette butts create litter in areas, meaning city maintenance crews have extra clean-up duties.
No dogs allowed
The new rules also ban dogs, even those on a leash, from athletic fields and picnic shelters. An earlier draft had said they were banned from picnic areas, but Bon realized the entire parks system could be considered a picnic area.
During discussion of the regulations at the April 15 council meeting, councilmembers brought up the popular concerts at Pine Lake Park. Dogs would be banned from those concerts under the new rules.
Bon changed the rules to say the parks department could put up a sign specifically permitting dogs at certain events, such as the concerts. Dogs would still generally be banned from large gatherings unless such a sign is posted.
Councilman Ramiro Valderrama questioned if the rules will be enforceable. There are typically two police officers on patrol at a time, and it seems unlikely they'll have the time to respond to someone calling about a smoker in a park.
Bon said this would at least give officers a tool and allow the possibility that officers could cite someone for violating the rules.
Vance said that even if the laws may be difficult to enforce, they make a statement about what the city considers acceptable, and many people, he said, are not scofflaws.
"At least a lot of people know they're on the books, and a lot of people follow the law," Vance said.
The new rules take effect May 14.
What about pot?
Councilwoman Nancy Whitten wanted to specify that marijuana is also forbidden at city parks.
That would be unnecessary, said City Attorney Kari Sand. She noted that I-502, which legalized recreational marijuana, already forbids people from smoking it in public, so pot smokers would violate state law.
Whitten noted that at events like HempFest in Seattle, organizers put up a fence and sell tickets, so it's not a public event, and people smoke marijuana.
Parks Director Jessi Bon explained that outside groups would need a permit to engage in such activities, and no such permit would be issued in Sammamish.

More on Job Fairs
Finally another major advantage of local job fairs is their ability to specialize in connecting the right employee with the right perspective candidate. The first beauty of local job fairs is in their proximity to job seekers. Theres a major benefit in being able to meet with employers with job opportunities in the local community, rather than searching nationally through a large database, national job fair. Further, local job fairs can specialize in the demographic they're seeking to connect employers with. There may be local job fairs for recent college graduates, managers, financial services, nurses, legal secretaries and more. This not only saves both job seekers valuable time in not having to hunt down employers, but provides, with this narrow focus, the opportunity to meet face-to-face with more employers than might otherwise be possible. A local job fair is a great way to approach what many people see as a dreadful process, the job seeking process. Itll almost certainly save time and is likely to produce results.

Extra Account for Variable Income?
QUESTION: Shannon's husband has a variable income, and she doesn't know how to make a budget for it. What should she do?
ANSWER: You'll need to prioritize your budget items each month. Food, Utilities, Shelter...all that is most important and must be paid. After that, if the money is there to use, spend it on the other items you have listed. If the money is not there, at least you've paid the most important items first.
I also suggest starting up an account to help even the months out. When you have a good month, set a little aside to help out in the lean months.
Search: Extra Account, Variable Income, budget, irregular, prioritize, basic, important, first, set aside, plan ahead

In order to create a successful software product and assure its quality, it is not enough to fulfill the functional requirements, it is also crucial to find the right balance among competing quality requirements (QR). An extended, previously piloted, interview study was performed to identify specific challenges associated with the selection, tradeoff, and management of QR in industrial practice. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with 11 product managers and 11 project leaders from 11 software companies. The contribution of this study is fourfold: First, it compares how QR are handled in two cases, companies working in business-to-business markets and companies that are working in business-to-consumer markets. These two are also compared in terms of impact on the handling of QR. Second, it compares the perceptions and priorities of QR by product and project management, respectively. Third, it includes an examination of the interdependencies among quality requirements perceived as most important by the practitioners. Fourth, it characterizes the selection and management of QR in downstream development activities.

Eh, I don't know. Abrams' directing style leaves me unenthused. I'm not sure that's an indictment of Abrams, though, but more of what style is expected today of big, blockbuster action films.
I was watching
Independence Day
last night -- one of my favorite of the big blockbuster films -- and afterward I started thinking about how dramatically filmmaking has changed in less than 20 years. Yes,
Independence Day
was big on action and special effects and all the other hallmarks of summer blockbusters. But it wasn't filmed in a way that made you think the director had ADD. Action scenes didn't have to have a camera angle change every 1.2 seconds.
I find that the frentic pace of modern filmmaking, especially of action scenes, is so fast as to make it difficult to follow what's actually happenening. Pair that up with other modern Hollywood techniques of the day, like ShakyCam, and it makes it difficult for me to watch a modern film.

Thomas Howard
He was uncle to Anne Boleyn and also to Katherine Howard, Henry's 5th wife. Rumor has it he conspired against Katherine when she took a lover, even though it was he who hooked her up with Henry. Something similar happened to Anne; however—unlike Katherine—Anne did not commit adultery even though she was charged with it. Norfolk passed sentence on both of his nieces, and both were sentenced to death for high treason and adultery… a real family man.

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
Brian and his brother Kevin were AMAZING! They came to the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner to meet the wedding party and get familiar with the venue. Both arrived bright and early the day of the wedding to capture all those special moments with both the bride and her maids and the groom and his groomsmen. The entire day was captured just as the bride and groom had envisioned. One of the things that sets them apart is that their fee includes all of this time not just an hourly package. We would HIGHLY recommend them not just because of their value but, their experience and their expertise.
We found d2 Wedding Photography (Brian and Kevin) through the Baltimore Bridal Show and were really taken back by the time, effort, and quality that were on display from the very first introduction. While d2 wasn't the cheapest, we found that that they were absolutely the best bang for the buck!
Brian and Kevin, from day-one have been phenomenal! We booked them very early on, planned an engagement photo session with them (which was VERY HELPFUL AND RECOMMENDED). Working with them, we really got a sense of their communication and artistic styles and it gives them an opportunity to figure out the things that we loved, hated, and tolerated.
Brian and Kevin were both at the rehearsal, worked with our priest directly to have questions answered, and were available to help. We had Brian and Kevin with us all day on the wedding day (Kevin with me and Brian with my wife) to capture the day-of activities. When we ran into a little snag with a missing boutineer, Brian and Kevin sprang into action right away (without being asked) to assist. They were working with parents, my wife, me, and the florist for us. Everything was squared away quickly and perfectly.
As for the photos that Brian and Kevin captured -- they were amazing! They captured everything we had hoped for and so much more! The presentation was fantastic, the guys were great, and the photographs were awesome!
Our bottom line recommendation is: d2 Wedding Photography isn't the CHEAPEST on the block when you think about raw dollars but I challenge you to find another PAIR (remember, you get two photographers in this package) of photographers that give you the the time and value for what you spend on them. We found that the value of what we were getting far exceeded the price that we paid. Brian and Kevin were absolutely amazing. There is no question that we will work with them in the future. And there is no doubt that we would be willing to recommend them to anyone.
Brian and Kevin could not have been more professional and conscientious during our wedding. There were with us every step of the way and captured every moment. They also came to the rehersal and the rehersal dinner, as well as did engagement photos for us, truly a full service company. We cannot thank Brian and Kevin enough for the wonderful job they did photographing our wedding and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Brian and Kevin were recommended to us by a friend. These guys are phenomenal. Not only do they take exceptional photos, but they go above and beyond in their work. They attended our rehearsal dinner to capture memories, and they were with us from the moment we started getting ready until we headed to our hotel room at the end of the night on our big day. These guys treated us like family, and they did everything possible to help make our day special. What is really great about these guys is that they are extremely passionate about their craft. Also, they are so discrete, and they blended in with our guests. They were super collaborative and flexible with our other vendors. They researched locations that we discussed for photo opportunities so that we could immediately shoot upon arrival. They have great ideas for amazing photos, and they are super fun to work with.
I have long known d2 Wedding photography, and I highly recommend their services. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and assisted us every step of the way from engagement through wedding reception.
The photography is beautiful, professional and creative and captures the details and sentiment of your occasion. They are an EXCELLENT choice. (In fact, I was so impressed with their ability to capture such intimate shots without my ever being aware of photographers around.)
A most positive experience!!! thumbs up!!!
Ana Maizel
Kevin and Brian Donnelly were great photographers for our wedding. They were able to get multiple shots and were very organized and helped the process along promptly. They were responsive and enthusiastic. I definitely would recommend D2 wedding photography for your wedding!!!
Wonderful and fun people! The guys are willing to work with whatever your needs are to make sure you get the type of photos you like. Love them!
Brian and Kevin are absolutely amazing at their craft. They have a great style for capturing authentic moments, blending in to your event and taking a very observational approach to documenting the day. The pictures turn out better than you could ever imagine. They are our family photographers for LIFE! Call them today!
I am what my family and friends dubbed the "reluctant bride." It wasn't that I didn't want to get married, I just didn't have a big wedding and be the center of attention. I absolutely don't like to be the focus of attention, and was particularly adverse to having a photographer snapping pictures of me all day. So, when one of my fiancee's clients recommended d2 Photography, I groaned and reluctantly agreed to give them a chance.
At our first meeting, Brian asked a lot of questions - many that I didn't have the answers for yet. But he also answered all of my questions and reassured me that he wouldn't be in my space at all on the wedding day. From that meeting on, I was much more relaxed and Brian coordinated everything with little or no fuss.
On our wedding day, both Brian and Kevin were invisible. I know that they were there because we have AWESOME photos, but they took their shots without any fuss, and got pictures of things that we didn't even know were going on.
Our experience with d2 Photography was excellent. I can't say enough about the professionalism, personal touches, and talent of Brian and Kevin. Thank you so much for everything!!
D2 was phenominal at our wedding. I felt like they were just as excited as we were and their enthusiam was pictured through the lens. They were extremely flexible! They met us at the reheasal just to take a look around and get an idea of what and where to take pictures from. They even offered us free engagement photos. Their eye to find just the right shot was truley amazing. They did not waste our time and make us feel shy in front of the camera. They did not keep retaking the same shot, they got it right within the first few tries and we were able to move quickly and even got to enjoy our cocktail hour with family and friends because they were so accurate. I would recommend their service to anyone. They helped make our day even more special and I know they are capable of doing that for any bride and groom. D2 thanks so much and I wish you all the best. God bless.
D2 Wedding Photography provided the greatest photography for my Wedding I could have ever asked for. They are the best at what they do. Professionally, photographically, and affordable. My wedding would have not been the same without them. My wedding was over an hour from their business and they were flexible throughout the entire process from engagement pictures to the wedding day. They made me and my husband feel at ease and so comfortable. My husband is smiling in all the pictures! (He never smiles!!!! They are amazing!)
Absolutely fantastic! Professional, polite, easy/fun to work with and very talented. They will do whatever it takes to "get the shot." Climb on chairs, lay on the dirt, whatever. Everything went smoothly throughout the planning process and they work really hard with you to make sure they deliver exactly what you want/expect. When it comes to the special day itself, they are right there with you every step of the way. But they're not intrusive so you don't notice their presence which makes everything more natural looking. The shots are fantastic and they deliver your proofs quickly. They took pictures of people/events that I didn't even realize and I was thrilled. During my reception they loaded a slideshow of pictures from earlier in the day so my guests (and me!) could get a preview. Everyone loved it and it added another personal touch.
They go above and beyond and I highly recommend d2 Wedding Photgraphy. Not just for brides/grooms, but for any professional pictures. They are my first choice for portraits for my family.
I cannot say enough about D2 Wedding Photography and our experience with them. Brian and Kevin are true professionals; They not only listened to what we wanted, though also infused our ideas with their professional opinions and knowledge. Their main goal throughout the whole process was to give us what we wanted and to make us happy, and they did that and much, much more. We were blown away by our beautiful pictures that we will always cherish, and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for exquisite pictures and amazing service. I will continue to use D2 for all of my future photography needs and recommend that you do the same! Thank you D2 for all that you did for us...Troy & Christa (Married July 2010)
D2 provided us great service. They did both engagement and wedding photos and were very helpful both time. Any time we had a question it was answered in less than 24 hours. They were very flexible with our schedule and requests. Also, when left to their own devices they will take some very artistic shots that will take your breath away. Pictures looked great and were delivered very quickly. Highly recommended!
d2 Wedding Photography was fantastic - I loved these guys! Brian and Kevin really made the day - our guests loved them and the pictures turned out wonderfully. They are very flexible with the options for photos (digital, print, etc.) and more than happy to walk you through the results. They also gave us some beautiful framed picture gifts as well! Definitely use them - you will love it. I interviewed 5 other photographers before these guys were recommended to me and they were, bar none, the best of the group.
I can't say enough good things about d2 Wedding Photography. Brian, Kevin and Matt were wonderful from start to finish. My photos are beautiful! They were very organized in their preparations, and they were there to make it my day - they were very supportive of what I wanted in my wedding photos. They did all of the posed photos I requested, but as it turned out my favorite photos are the candid photos they took that really captured the true spirit of our special day. These guys are simply fantastic!!!

Apple Recalls Beats Pill XL Speaker Because of Fire Hazard
This speaker is too hot.
Speaking with a few people in the podcasting sphere recently, I've realised that many people find the aspect of audio effects processing to be mystifying. While I'm no expert, I thought I might write about what I have learnt during my time editing radio shows and podcasts.
So, here it goes, but I apologise in advance if I'm teaching my grandmother to suck on those proverbial eggs.
Joe Nash, who edits the podcast I co-host, The Committed, wrote an interesting article about how he gets rid of the excess noise in our audio files. If you work with podcasts, or any kind of audio, it's worth a read. There are no complicated techniques, just some simple ways to make sure voices sound better.
You may not be able to hear all the nuances in Pono's high-resolution music files, but your pets can.
Is this really the way Sony wants to present one of their surround-sound systems?

It's already been established that Clay Bennett isn't that sympathetic of a character, having moved Seattle's beloved Supersonics to Oklahoma City amid legal threats, local protestations, and less-than-unanimous owner support. But "heartless businessman" can probably describe more NBA owners than not, so is it time to cut Bennett some slack and let him enjoy the OKC?
Of course, by "enjoy," we mean "take shots at cheerleaders who aren't white." Same thing, really. That above conversation was taken by BEND IT LIKE BENNETT, a Thunder-themed blog, from the Facebook page of Graham Bennett (Terrorist fist jab: THE SPORTING BLOG). Graham, as you've probably already guessed, is Clay Bennett's son, and apparently just a real big fan of his old man and his riffs on race (let's call it Claycism).
Oh, and just in case you were curious, yes, it gets worse. As Ziller notes at TSB, this might not just be about race; why not social status, too?
For what it's worth, Crooked Oak is a public school in the poorer OKC city center. Graham apparently attends Casady, a $15,000-per-year private school located in a swanky part of town known delightfully as The Village. Just so you know.
Now, how we know the "Dad" in the aforementioned conversation is Clay? Well, technically we don't know, since we don't have a signed affadavit from Graham saying "yep, my dad sure is a racist!" But Graham does go out of his way earlier in the profile to make it absurdly, comically clear that when he says "Dad," he means Clay Bennett:
Dad, Daddio: A Unique Great, A Special Great. People Who Say "Dad" and arent Dads will never be one. Its just not right. - "The Dad" Clay Bennett
Is English Graham's first language? We would have added [sic] where appropriate, but doing it as often as necessary just seemed cruel.
Now, in fairness to young Graham, he is only 16; it's entirely possible that he doesn't yet know that this is the sort of conversation you just don't publicize (especially if, ahem, nobody at home is bothering to teach him about that sort of respect). Perhaps this is that lesson, the teaching opportunity. And perhaps this is also a way for him to learn that people get all bent out of shape over race because they're stupid and they're not letting him be him. Again, probably something to be learned at home.
And that doesn't exactly bode well.
