The Houston Texans' building of a left tackle, 6-foot-4, 329-pound Duane Brown, was what stood between Texans quarterback Sage Rosenfels and Jared Allen. It was a huge third-down play, very late in a game the Texans had a shot of pulling out if Rosenfels made a big throw. Allen stretched out his left arm way out, almost like Inspector Gadget, and reached around Brown's massive body to grab Rosenfels from behind. Allen gave a yank, and down went Rosenfels.
Allen raced away from Rosenfels' crumpled body and did what he usually does after a sack. He crouched on a knee and made several circular motions with his hand, simulating the tying of a calf in a rodeo. Rosenfels, like the calf, had been rendered helpless.
"I started it about three seasons ago, but I didn't do it every time," Allen said. "Last year, I decided it was going to be my main celebration."
After Sunday's game, after the Vikings had beaten the Texans 28-21, Allen was asked if he ever checked with the NFL for permission to use his calf-roping celebration. He reacted as if it was one of the craziest questions he'd ever heard.
"That's American," he said. "You're in America. If you can't tie up a calf ..."
He never did finish the sentence, not the way he helped finish off the Texans. After that third-down sack, Allen was right there helping to smother Rosenfels after a fourth-down sack credited to Kevin Williams.
Allen and Williams lead the Vikings with seven sacks apiece.
Allen, by the way, chose not to comment on the reports that Kevin Williams and Pat Williams used a banned substance that masks steroid use. "I don't even think about it," Allen said.
Anyway, there's that chemistry.
"The biggest thing is, we've started to get a feel for each other up front," Allen said.
He has learned Williams' moves and nuances, and he has a better handle on what Brian Robison likes to do when he comes in on passing downs. Allen says he's "95 to 96" percent of the way to being all knowing when it comes to what a fellow lineman will do.
Meantime, Allen will try to continue to do what he has been doing for several seasons now: torment quarterbacks. Allen had two sacks, a forced fumble and three tackles Sunday, and said if either of the two quarterbacks he faced had held the ball just half a second longer on some plays he would have had "four or five sacks."
"A half second in the NFL is an eternity," Allen said.
In the second quarter, Allen slapped the ball out of quarterback Matt Schaub's cocked arm, forcing a fumble that Brown, that big left tackle, recovered.

Rosenfels lent some life to the Texans' offense, guiding it to a pair of second-half touchdowns.
"I don't want to say we were confused, but there were a couple of series out there where it looked like we fell asleep a little bit," Allen said.
Members of the Vikings' defense talked on the sideline about slipping into slumber mode. There was a consensus. They all agreed that "we've got to get out there and get the guy like we did the last guy," Allen said.
And that's what happened, particularly on the Texans' final drive when Allen got that enormous third-down sack.
"He's relentless," Vikings safety Darren Sharper said of Allen.
"He plays a million miles an hour," Vikings coach Brad Childress said.
Rosenfels also weighed in on Allen, saying he "is one of the best players in this league. He is worth every dime they pay him."
The Vikings are paying Allen 720 million dimes, or about $72 million over six years.
After the game, an ice pack was wrapped around Allen's right shoulder. Asked if it was a pinched nerve or some other injury, Allen didn't explain what happened to his shoulder but assured those around him it wouldn't keep him from playing Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.
"It's football," he said. "You get beat up."
And you get to beat others up, and sack them, too.

text: Indonesia jails Shia cleric for blasphemy 12 July 2012 The cursed taj ul Mamluk in police custody An Indonesian court has sentenced a Shia cleric to two years' imprisonment for blasphemy. Tajul Muluk was said to have taught a deviation from mainstream Islam and had therefore caused "public anxiety". Witnesses told the court that Muluk encouraged Muslims to pray three rather than five times a day, that the Qur'an was no longer authentic and that followers need not make the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, which is considered one of the five pillars of Islam.

Thursday 10 July 2014
All the old faithfuls put in an appearance: the dead parrot, the Lumberjack song, spam, spam, eggs and spam.
The good humoured-audience had gathered at the O2 for a nostalgia fest, a joyous celebration of shared cultural references – so everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition. Cheers and applause greeted each familiar sketch, accompanied by a flurry of exitement, as if in anticipation of a visit by an old and well-loved friend.
This was the full Monty (bar one) - an all-singing, all-dancing version of Python, with an energetic orchestra, seminal material in the form of "Every Sperm is Sacred" and cheeky choreography to mirror the mood of Terry Gilliam's animations.
There was a large helping of razzle-dazzle from a support team of super troupers; to be fair, the seniors needed a break between sketches to get their breath back. The Pythons are on the last leg of their long-standing collaboration and the loose-limbed dancers are the new recruits to the Ministry of Silly Walks.
The first episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus aired at the tail end of '69 – and one particular song in the ensemble makes reference to this number. When those fresh-faced young lads first arrived at the BBC, it's unlikely that they ever dreamt of being in middle o' t' stage in their seventies. They've been lucky - aye, lucky.
Of the Big Five, Cleese was the one who corpsed the most. Jones looked unflappable until it came to the crunch: for the chocolate-coated frog sketch, he appeared to glance at cue cards as a prompt for the long list of ingredients. Palin was cheerful and avuncular, while Gilliam took to the stage like a gumby to water. Idle, the showbizziest of them all, and largely responsible for putting the show together, was in his element. The ex Python, Graham Chapman, bereft of life but not of spirit, made up for his absence on stage by his presence on the big screen.
The quintet weren't above a spot of self-mockery, with a dig at Cleese's divorce and a big yawn at the mention of Palin's travel programmes.
The fish-slapping sketch, a particular favourite of Palin's, drew hearty guffaws from the audience. While many knew it well, they were joined by a new generation of fans, some seeing this original footage for the first time, along with other archive material, all the more effective when viewed on the large screens.
Elvis was, apparently, a fan. His favourite film was Monty Python and the Holy Grail and he liked to wander around playing one of the Knights who say "Ni!" This must account for the tribute Elvis who rocked up at one point during a dance number.
Some of the more jaded critics may have been lukewarm about the evening's entertainment, but the O2 Arena audience certainly enjoyed it – and Elvis would have loved it.

In 1979, Rockwell had already amassed a small body of work and received two one-man shows of his short films at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston and the Association of Independent Video and Film in NYC. Two years later, he made his feature writing, directing and producing debut with "Lenz" (1981), adapted from a classic German novella that detailed a writer's descent into madness. Shown at the Berlin Film Festival in 1982, it went on to become a favorite on the midnight movie circuit in Berlin and Munich for four years. Rockwell received German financing for his second movie, "Hero" (1983), a road film, full of symbolism, about a group of misfits who set for Truth or Consequences... Continue Bio >>

Re: Is Watching Voyager Needed For The Timeline?
It helps to watch it in line with DS9 to understand Voyager, but not to understand the rest of Trek. Does that make sense?
I think the best way to watch Trek is to watch them in broadcast order. (However, this is coming from the person who watched in this order: TOS, ENT, TNG, DS9, VOY with the movies mostly all between Enterprise and TNG.)

I was a patient of Dr. Kenis and she was totally incompetent. She is afraid to diagnose anything and always wants to send patients to a specialist. She lacks compassion and is very uptight probably because she doesn't have confidence in what she is doing. She sent me to a specialist and they said she never should have done that. In addition, her medical assistant was rude and abrasive.
This doctor does not accurately diagnose medical conditions.
Dr. Kenis' bedside manner is awful. I have never felt more belittled than I did at my last appointment. I am married and when she asked if there is a chance of being pregnant my response was "we aren't trying but I guess it could be possible" she then asked if we use any type of protection and when I said no her response was "oh, then you're just irresponsible!" I could not believe that I was just called irresponsible by my doctor for not using protection with my husband! To make things worse, I needed to have blood work done. The nurse only tried twice to get my blood flowing and then gave up and told me to go to quest diagnostics to have my blood work done. I overheard her complaining to another nurse about how annoyed she was that my veins weren't easy to draw blood from. Do not go to this practice unless you want to be treated like scum of the earth when you get sick. She also made it seem like I needed emergency surgery and when I got a second opinion I was told that surgery isn't even necessary. She is unprofessional and I do not recommend her!
Very caring and professionaland always available. The best.

Dream Catcher... if I was closer I would take a donk or two !! To bad shipping is soo expensive !
My neighbors have longhorn cattle, and there are times that these cows are very thin, and some of them are in their 20's still breeding, still calving. At the moment they are across the road from me, and we throw hay to the cows so they are not thin now. They are usually in the mtns and graze on the natural forage.

Israel Plans to Invest Reserves in Equities Abroad This Year
The Bank of Israel plans to start investing some of its reserves in equities abroad by the end of the year, the central bank's director of market operations said.
The pilot investment will be through index trackers rather than specific stocks, Barry Topf said in an interview at the bank's offices in Jerusalem. The bank plans to invest in the largest, most liquid and sophisticated markets through outside asset managers who haven't yet been chosen, he said.
"We can achieve a higher return on the reserves without incurring higher risks," Topf said. "It's been an extremely difficult environment for investors in general, and especially central banks because their natural environment has been government bonds and fixed-income investments and we know that yields are at historic lows."
Central banks slashed benchmark interest rates in the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis in an effort to shore up growth, resulting in a decline in yields on government bonds. Since August 2008, U.S. 10-year note yields have dropped about 1 percentage point and German bunds almost 1.5 points, and both are now trading below 3 percent.
In the past 12 months, the MSCI World Index has risen more than 14 percent, while the S&P 500 Index advanced more than 13 percent.
Swiss Reserves
While the investment by central banks of part of their reserves in equities isn't widespread, a small and growing number have begun to do so, Topf said. About 11 percent of the foreign-exchange reserves of Switzerland's central bank were invested in shares at the end of the first quarter, the Swiss bank said on its website.
"This is something which would have been virtually unthought of 10 years ago for a central bank," said Topf, who has been at the Bank of Israel for 30 years. "It has become more accepted because central banks have grown in sophistication."
Low yields in the U.S. and Europe have spurred increased inflows into Israel and other countries where lending rates are higher, putting pressure on the currency to appreciate.
Israel's central bank has been buying foreign currency in most months since March 2008, more than doubling reserves, in an effort to moderate the gains and help exporters compete. Reserves declined for the first time in six months in May and stood at $76.8 billion at the end of the month.
'Flexible Policy'
"They've increased a lot, we think that's a good thing," said Topf, a 57-year-old with a degree in history. "The level of reserves is broadly consistent with what we need. That also allows us to be flexible in terms of intervention policy. We don't have a need to go out and buy reserves but we also don't have a need to go out and sell."
The Bank of Israel's goal is to return to a situation in which it doesn't intervene in the market, Topf said. That doesn't mean that the bank won't intervene if the exchange rate diverges markedly from underlying fundamentals, he said. Central banks intervene when they buy or sell currencies to influence exchange rates.
"Intervention has trended down," Topf said, adding that there are "obviously fluctuations from month to month."
The central bank has been criticized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development for the purchases. Secretary-General Angel Gurria called currency intervention a "new kind of protectionism" in a visit to Israel in November. Bank of Israel Governor Stanley Fischer has said he aims to end the purchases when the markets return to "stability."
Inflows to Shekel
Koon Chow, an emerging-market strategist at Barclays Capital, said the Bank of Israel will probably keep intervening because the causes of that policy haven't changed.
"With the interest rate going higher and investors bullish on Israeli fundamentals, inflows to the shekel will continue," Chow said in an e-mail. "The Bank of Israel will lean against these inflows to prevent export competitiveness from being eroded too much."
In the past 12 months, the shekel has gained about 11 percent against the dollar. The currency was trading at 3.4763 per dollar at 10:45 a.m. local time.
The government's plan, announced in January, to cancel the tax exemption for foreigners on profit from short-term Makam bills and short-term bonds will go into effect on July 1. While some of the effects on the shekel have already been "priced in," not all of them have, Topf said.

Arpan Shah Microsoft Project and SharePoint Blog
I met up with Martin Harwar, SharePoint MVP & Solution Architect at Point8020, and he demoed ShowMe for SharePoint 2010 that delivers premium SharePoint 2010 End User training and video help. It provides consumable help & training when end users need it on many SharePoint topics that helps accelerate adoption. I'm really impressed with how ShowMe for SharePoint 2010 provides an integrated, intuitive & in-context learning experience to end users. If you're a SharePoint 2010 customer or partner who is looking to train end users on SharePoint 2010, I definitely recommend checking it out! After talking to Martin, I had a chance to install it and check it out for myself. Here's my take:
Integrated & Intuitive User ExperienceShowMe for SharePoint 2010 is there when users needs it! End Users can launch training from anywhere within SharePoint. That makes it really relevant and it's a really good example of a solution that takes advantage of the SharePoint User Experience extensibility.One example below is how ShowMe for SharePoint is an available option in the Site Actions menu. This allows for easy access from any SharePoint site.
Another example, as you can see below, is how the ShowMe tab lights up in the SharePoint Ribbon. This provides in-context one click access.
Also, ShowMe for SharePoint is easily discoverable when users search for a particular topic. The words spoken in each video are indexed by SharePoint search.
Rich & Comprehensive TrainingWhen an end user clicks on a training topic from the Site Actions menu or the SharePoint Ribbon, end users get a really nice Silverlight training experience without having to leave where they are (see screenshot below). From the training application, end users can navigate through a number of topics and watch a short video that "shows" them how to do a particular task. The current version of ShowMe for SharePoint ships with 101 training videos. Based on my conversation with Martin, I expect the number of topics and videos to expand in the near future.
Easy & Flexible DeploymentIf you're an IT Administrator or even a Site Admin, the great thing about the ShowMe for SharePoint 2010 solution is that you can easily deploy it. It's a Sandboxed Solution so it doesn't require any special access to the SharePoint Server. There are various options you can choose from making it easy to deploy & very flexible. There's also a nice FAQ if you have questions on how to install the solution.
I recommend checking it out for yourself @ http://www.point8020.com/ShowMe.aspx! You can download for free & it comes with simple installation instructions; you can also watch a short video of it in action. Enjoy!

In the "Fears & The Funk" post Albahooky asked about the Punk Funk revival at the turn of the last millenium so here's my any-excuse-for-a hastily-thrown-together-playlist playlist. I was still young enough then to be out & about with dancing shoes on, and this stuff was getting caned at the indie joints (as was I). It seems it was called Dance Punk in the states and of course even the name Punk Funk is entirely misleading. Disco beat with noisy guitars and shouty (mainly) men, some cowbell, post punk rhythms, anything to do with DFA records, New York, !!! asking the Glasgow crowd for pills before they started playing, hanging out with Carlos from Interpol on the LES, The 'Yes New York' compilation, late period Clash, the kids throwing out their guitars and buying turntables.

I particularly enjoyed 'covers' week which presented me with an additional challenge and led me to the discovery of Teenage Fanclub's excellent version of The Pixies' Here Comes Your Man – further themed weeks are in the pipeline.
It's certainly no struggle finding suitable material and while of course the list is inevitably going to be skewed in favour of my own 1980s, indie-pop leanings, I've been trying to mix it up a bit, dipping my toe into the murky waters of folk music for example, and I intend to continue to push the boundaries of my comfort zone as the year progresses. I'm grateful for any suggestions (I'm not taking requests as such – yet!) but please don't ask for any Nazareth as a Glesga' Kiss offends…
One thing that's become very apparent is the dearth of suitable Scottish music dating from before the mid-to-late 1970s and it raises an interesting question. Why did the 1960s pop revolution (apparently) not take hold in Scotland? Both Glasgow and Edinburgh (and Aberdeen and Dundee for that matter) seem like perfect breeding grounds for the sort of guitar-based rhythm and blues/pop bands which sprung up in their hundreds south of the border, but I'm struggling to find anything worthy of inclusion. It's almost as if the entire nation spent twenty years listening to what was going on elsewhere, taking it all in and quietly, secretively perfecting its pop sensibilities, before handing Edwyn Collins a guitar and a microphone and saying, 'Go on. You know what to do…'
Of course I may be wrong and there may be some excellent 1960s/early 70s material waiting to be discovered. But that's for another month.
Meanwhile, here are a couple of highlights from February's posts…
Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea – A Week with Myself (Feat. Guest DJ Panthercub)
Last week I had a research paper/book chapter thing to write, so I took the week off work, set up a desk by the window in the warmest room in the house overlooking the garden, and settled down to work. For someone like me who spends most of the day out of the house, has a young family and a partner not terribly au fait with the concept of compromise (not to mention taste in music on the slightly noisy side) this opportunity to be by myself and listen to whatever the hell I wanted to all day for a week was a very rare and precious thing indeed.
Over the course of the week I listened to about 50 of my own records and despite the mental taxations of the task in hand had one of the most enjoyable weeks in a long long time.
Finding even more time to myself to put it all together to make a podcast was pretty impossible, so I enlisted Panthercub as my official selector and made a fun game of it on a rainy afternoon. It ended up completely different to what I had in mind (I was thinking more noise and less electronica), but there you go, it was out of my hands!
ALL NEW PODCAST – Enjoy!
Blimpy's Best LPs of 2014 go up to 11 – Part four
New household member and French princess Seraphine says she only listens to old school jungle and sometime glitch-step. I don't quite believe her silky continental sophistications as I've seen her secret stash of Serge Gainsbourg, rare groove and booty bass LPs.
2. "Annabel Dream Reader" – The Wytches
I'm a 90s kid through and through. Cut me and I bleed jangly indie, shoegaze and pre-major-label grunge (when it was called alt. rock). I'm pop but Sub Pop. I'm sub Sub pop Pop. Pop.
Some folk might think that the terms wretched, noisy & abrasive are negative words to describe music with. I think things went bad when the only audible influence bands took from Nirvana ended up being Nickleback, Puddle Of Mudd, Creed, et al. There are so many bands influenced by Kurt, Thurston, J Mascis whose music sounds nothing like them, but it was Bleach or Nevermind that made them pick up a guitar.
Rarely a band dares to occupy a space made sacred by Saint Cobain over twenty years ago. Rarer still is a band with the ideas or the chops or the tunes to pull off anything worthwhile.
Filtered through a sixties freakbeat awareness, pre-nevermind rhythm section and a throat shredding south coast accent, The Wytches scream their fucking heads off in memorable pop tunes as distortion reigns supreme. From the fuzz comes transcendence. Touch me; I'm quick.
1. "Soft Friday" – Coves
Noise ridden wall of sound pop melodies fuzzy skygaze shoegaze hazy days; the (beautifully sub-40 minutes 10 tracker) Coves record has myriad sparkling & eclectic psyche pop delights that I haven't stopped listening to since April.
I just love it so much.
Blimpy's Best LPs of 2014 go up to 11 – Part three
4. "United Ghosts" – United Ghosts
Poppy hooky shoegaze with dual male/female vocals. There needs to be some sort of internet widget where this stuff gets posted straight to my door without me even hearing it first.
joint 3rd. "New Gods" – Withered Hand
Dan's long awaited follow up to Good News (his first record which was my favourite of 2009) was a worryingly together effort with a backing cast of Scots indie royalty behind him (King Creosote, Eugene Kelly, Frightened Rabbit to mention a few). The old bumbling charm has diminished a bit, the songs are bigger and looking out rather than in. I think the album just lacked a "No Cigarettes" or "Love In The Time Of Ecstasy" and time had increased my expectations to silly levels. It's a great record, don't get me wrong.
joint 3rd. "St Vincent" – St Vincent
I like my pop music like I like my coffee: bonkers & unpredictable, taut & skewed, arty & twisted (never ask me to make coffee). It's Madonna brought up on Talking Heads rather than disco. An incredible record from an incredible talent, and had I picked it up earlier in the year it may well have been higher up the list.
Blimpy's Best LPs of 2014 go up to 11 – Part two
Mewsli finds it hard to choose too. Here's the next three best LPs of 2014.
7. "Ganglion Reef" – Wand
I like my 60s inflected psychedelic pop music COVERED IN RIFFS AND NOISE AND MENTALISM. Thanks Wand!
8. "Sun Structures / Sun Restructured" – Temples
I like my 60s inflected psychedelic pop music incredibly authentic sounding. Thanks Temples!
This record was so 60s beat pastiche that I initially dismissed it but I'm very glad I went back to it as it's chock full of fab songs. The remix album that is now bundled with it is the whole record taken apart by acid drenched wizards (actual wizards! Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve to be precise) in a fevered high and put back together all wonky and could well be better than the original. Excellent value for money for sure.
6. "Days Of Abandon" – The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart
The growing Pains continue. The first LP noise-twee made way for LP2's angry teen stompbox (my fave LP of 2011) and now their third sees them getting Jen from Fear Of Men to sing half the songs in a polished 80s Smithsian fashion. Jangle and sparkle and huge pop songs – not indie pop – just POP. Fit to burst exuberance and sky grazing ballads.
Blimpy's Best LPs of 2014 go up to 11 – Part one
11. "Everything Will Be Alright In The End" – Weezer
My secret weapons at "work" over the last year or so have been coffee and perky helpings of Weezer's dumbest big rockest tunes, and their latest album was a return to form with some ridiculously huge unapologetic bangers on it and a three part rock 'suite" to finish the LP.
10. "Burn Your FIre For No Witness" – Angel Olsen
Angel turned out a record that stylistically was all over the place but held together by a distinct voice.
9. "God's Dream" – Ringo Deathstarr
This was an EP really, unless you count the extra tracks that Japan got, but acted as a good signpost towards the LP I hope they make next of big-thinking-stadium-shoegaze-1992-pumpkins-rock. The dude from Swervedriver popped up, and a non-classic Pumpkin too.
8. "From Scotland With Love" – King Creosote
Specially written to soundtrack a lovely film made from archive footage of Scotland, this was prime Kenny through & through.

December 1, 2015
AP Medical Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Health officials say flu season is off to its earliest start in nearly 10 years - and it could be a bad one.
The primary strain circulating is one that tends to cause more severe illness, especially in the elderly.
But officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the nation seems to be fairly well prepared. More than a third of Americans have been vaccinated, and the vaccine is well matched to the strains of flu so far.
Officials said Monday that suspected flu cases have jumped in five southern states - Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. An uptick in flu reports like this usually doesn't occur until after Christmas.
The last time a typical flu season started this early was the winter of 2003-04.

Now to render one of my personal opinions, the F80 is one of the worst ergonomically balanced cameras I have ever held in my hands..
Depends bit on the mounted lens too but I have no complaints at all.
This body is small and light and that's what I love. Plastic is no prob, I don't go to war with it.
I have used the F5, the F100 and still prefer my Maxxums, I currently shoot the 9XI(I own two of them) and the Maxxum 9 with very fast glass 300 f/2.8 and 600 f/4 so focusing is very fast!Quote:

Even with small lenses on the camera, it was still very out of balance for my hands, but as I said earlier, that is why there are so many different models of camera, because, there are so many different models of photographers!Quote:

So I gues the F80 is a lot better than the FE here. I don't really care about how it feels etc just needs to do it's job. In case an F100 is a load of times faster I might concider it for later though. But I remember a famous quote: "In case I would have a 1000 dollars I would be a millionair!" Guess that's thruw when you come from an FE.
When I was shopping for an AF 35 mm, I chose the F5 over the F100 (didn't really look at the F80) because I didn't like the ergonomics of the F100.Quote:

Differences? Of course, there`s a difference in the price tag to start, construction materials, ergonomics and the AF module used, to name just a few.
The F80 is a very nice device, sillent shutter, acceptable AF (Cam 900), small size and light weight, making it a heck of a street shooter.
I prefer the F100, but, the F80 is just the best value for the money on that specific segment in the market.
Enjoy it!
I now carry the N80 when I need a small camera and the F5 at other times.
A manual can be found on Nikon europe, you need to register for this, and a custom setting cheatsheet can be found on www.nikonians.org they also have a N/F80 users forum which holds lots of advise and information about the camera. You don't have to register to lurk ;).

Francona on Matsuzaka contribution
Posted by Nancy Marrapese-Burrell, Globe Staff September 9, 2008 04:53 PM
Red Sox manager Terry Francona said starter Daisuke Matsuzaka, who heads to the mound against the Tampa Bay Rays tonight with a 16-2 record and 2.88 earned run average, has been pitching with confidence. If there is a weak spot, it's his control. He is second in the American League in walks with 84.
"We're always trying to get better,'' said Francona. "This guy has been pretty good. The bar was set so unfairly high for this guy when he came over here that whatever he does is going to get picked apart. He's given us 31 wins [over last season and this year]. That's a lot of wins and he seems to be understanding and getting better as he goes. So I think we'll take that."

Dave Hornbaker from Deployment Guys wrote a script some time ago, that kicks off MBAM encryption of the hard drive. It can be found here:
As time goes, there are new features in SCCM and MDT as well as in Bitlocker and MBAM.
One of two things that the original script does not address is pre-provisioned Bitlocker in SCCM 2012 SP1 (It's actually, a feature of Windows 8 and Windows PE 4). What it means, that once you started the encryption with "Pre-provision Bitlocker" (it actually calls Manage-bde -on %OSDisk% -UsedSpaceOnly), your system hard drive is encrypted right off the bat, and while applying the image, your data becomes encrypted automatically.
The second thing is Windows To Go. Here is the article, that describes how to create a pre-staged media for Windows To Go: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj651035.aspx. There are a couple issues with WTG and SCCM:
I'm providing two VB scripts, ZTIPrepareBDE.wsf and StartMBAMEncryption.wsf.
I also included a version of SCCMWTGDuplicator.ps1 script that replaces WTGCreator.exe from SCCM. This script requires all boot files from WTG stick created with original WTGCreator.exe - simply copy all files to Boot directory. This script asks for WIM file with pre-staged media and lists all USB drives and then provisions them with WTG.
Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions :)
Credits go to my colleagues:
Dave Hornbaker, who created the original StartMBAMEncryption.wsf script
Michael Murgolo, who improved this script
Michael Niehaus, who inspired me on those kind of things :)
Lance Crandall, who worked with me educating me on best approaches with my script and without his input it would not be possible.

- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- Place potatoes in two large resealable plastic bags. Combine the Parmesan cheese and seasonings; add to potatoes. Seal bag and shake to coat.
- Pour oil into two 15x10x1-in. baking pans; pour potatoes into pans. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 40-50 minutes or until tender. Yield: 12-14 servings.
Reviews for Oven-Fried Potatoes
Sort By :
"These tasted delicious... that wasn't my problem. My problem was that I made sure the vegetable oil was spread over the entire dish before putting the potatoes on, and even at a lower temp (360deg), the potatoes adhered to the bottom. Not sure what I did wrong! They tasted delicious, they were a perfect "done-ness". Does anyone have any ideas? I want to make this again because it was so delicious, but it was a bit of a hassle cleaning up."
"Delicious easy side dish! My family loved them and they are a healthier alternative to fried potatoes!"
"The entire family loved these! The only adjustment I made was to add 1 teaspoon of onion powder to the mix. It's a keeper!"
"I made these fora picnic. The only changes I made was omitting the cheese (only due to guests preferences) and diced some onion. They were delicious. There were none left."
"I accidently made this recipe even better by adding chili powder, thinking it was my paprika. It ended up tasting great. I also like to use seasoned salt instead of regular."

Picture: Michael Keaton Champagne Launch of BritWeek 2008, held at the British Consul Generals Residence - Arrivals Los Angeles, California - 24.04.08
Michael Keaton's Batman costume and dinosaurs from the Jurassic Park movies are to go under the hammer with the first-ever Irving G. Thalberg memorial Oscar at the 31st Profiles In History Hollywood memorabilia auction. The $4 million (GBP2 million) Los Angeles auction, which takes place on 27 and 28 March (08), also features a rare King Kong six-sheet movie poster - one of only three known to exist - and Charles Middleton's Ming The Merciless cape from 1936 movie classic Flash Gordon. The Batman costume is expected to be the auction's highlight, and is estimated to fetch between $60,000 (GBP30,000) and $80,000 (GBP40,000). Meanwhile, the Thalberg Oscar producer Darryl F. Zanuck won in 1938 is set to be one of the auction's high-priced items. To this day, the Thalberg Memorial Award is the rarest and most prestigious honour bestowed by the Academy. It is only given an average of once every other year. There have only been 36 recipients, and the accolade has not been bestowed on anyone since 2000, when movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis was honoured.

1. Re: question on sounds (getting it to play in application, not applet!!)gimbal2 Sep 21, 2009 2:39 AM (in response to 843853)look into the Java Sound API. AudioClip can only play one sound at a time.
2. Re: question on sounds (getting it to play in application, not applet!!)843853 Nov 30, 2009 2:04 AM (in response to 843853)weng001, in case you haven't discovered the way to play sounds in a Java application and also to help others that don't know how to do this, here is my solution.
In a java application you can use the package java.applet.AudioClip to do this. You also have to have a couple of java files called SoundList.java and SoundLoader.java. I will put those in this post along with the code needed to put into your main class file.
Okay, in your main class file you will need the following imports in addition to any others you have already:
Then you will need to declare the following global variables in your main class file:
import java.applet.AudioClip; import java.net.URL; import java.net.MalformedURLException;
In my constructor, I call a function
SoundList soundList; String applause = "applause.wav"; // these String vars are the ones I use, you have to have one for each sound you want to use! String loose = "loose.aif"; String shuffle = "shuffle.aif"; String win = "win.aif"; AudioClip onceClip; URL codeBase;
I do this before the constructor does anything else.
The function should be placed after the end of your constructor not in it. Here is the code for startLoadingSounds():
Then, each place in your main class file that you want to play a sound, add this code.
public void startLoadingSounds() { // start asynchronous sound loading try { codeBase = new URL("file:" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/sounds/"); // user.dir gets the absolute path of your program, I keep my sounds in a sounds folder // so I had to add that onto the programs absolute path. } catch (MalformedURLException e) { System.err.println(e.getMessage()); } soundList = new SoundList(codeBase); soundList.startLoading(shuffle); // one startLoading call for each of your sounds used in the game soundList.startLoading(loose); // notice you use the global variables made for each sound file soundList.startLoading(win); soundList.startLoading(applause); }
I have a menu selection that allows the user to turn sounds on or off
so my code to play a specific sound looks like this:
And now, the two additional java class files you will need to add to your project for this to work are:
if(soundOn == true) { onceClip = soundList.getClip(shuffle); // this plays my card shuffle sound Note: "shuffle" corresponds to the global variable! // you use the global variable of the sound you want to play onceClip.play(); // then you tell it to play with onceClip.play(); }
import java.applet.AudioClip; import javax.swing.*; import java.net.URL; /** * Loads and holds audio files whose location are * specified relative to a fixed base URL. */ public class SoundList extends java.util.Hashtable { JApplet applet; URL baseURL; public SoundList(URL baseURL) { super(4); // Initialize Hashtable with capacity of 4 entries this.baseURL = baseURL; } public void startLoading(String relativeURL) { new SoundLoader(this, baseURL, relativeURL); } public AudioClip getClip(String relativeURL) { return (AudioClip)get(relativeURL); } public void putClip(AudioClip clip, String relativeURL) { put(relativeURL, clip); } }
That will allow you to easily play sounds in your java game application.
import java.applet.*; import javax.swing.*; import java.net.URL; import java.net.MalformedURLException; public class SoundLoader extends Thread { SoundList soundList; URL completeURL; String relativeURL; public SoundLoader(SoundList soundList, URL baseURL, String relativeURL) { this.soundList = soundList; try { completeURL = new URL(baseURL, relativeURL); } catch (MalformedURLException e){ System.err.println(e.getMessage()); } this.relativeURL = relativeURL; setPriority(MIN_PRIORITY); start(); } public void run() { AudioClip audioClip = Applet.newAudioClip(completeURL); soundList.putClip(audioClip, relativeURL); } }

Unfortunately the author of this article has no idea what he is talking about. He claims "Apple agreed to drop its habit of restricting application developers from creating popular mobile phone apps for other platforms". This statement is totally false. What Apple prohibited was the porting of applications developed with other tools than the ones they require for Apple device app development via translators instead of building native apps for the Apple devices. This was good for consumers and NOT anticompetitive. Now crappy apps, such as flash apps, will be able to be ported to the iPhone poisoning the iPhone ecosystem. Apple is singularly focused on creating the best possible user experience and now the app store is going to be filled with crap from lazy programers.
How about because Apple never was "restricting application developers from creating popular mobile phone apps for other platforms".
Unfortunately the author of this article has no clue what he is talking about. He claims wrongly that "Apple agreed to drop its habit of restricting application developers from creating popular mobile phone apps for other platforms". This is absolutely false. What apple restricted was lazy developers porting their crappy apps from inferior platforms instead of developing them natively for Apple devices with required tools so that they run better. Apple's policy was absolutely PRO consumer as Apple is singularly focused on providing the best customer experience possible. Now we are going to find tons of crap apps being ported, like flash apps, polluting the ecosystem and ruining the customer experience. Way to go EU! You really know how to protect the consumer. OOPS - I mean Adobe - the biggest polluter on the internet.
The European Commission did the right thing by dropping the Apple suit. These days, there are far too many socialists and anti-capitalists who want to destroy profitable businesses by zealously crippling them with excessive fines and red tape. There are very few profitable, innovative companies like Apple during these hard times. But this behavior is exactly what goes on in the USA, especially in that Texas court that is notorious for launching dozens of new patent/copyright lawsuits every month.
I find it ludicrous that the EU (or any other group) can dictate to a company how to run their business in such a specific way. Why shouldn't a company for whatever reason be allowed to limit app development to certain "approved" tools?
The silence you hear is shame.
It is because the EU wishes to continue to support homegrown technologies such as Symbian and Archos.
They pester US companies such as Intel, Microsoft, Google, IBM, Apple, Cisco and others to essentially raise the cost to entry into the EU. It is essentially a tariff hidden as legal action in a legal system largely controlled by politicians.
The eu is right for making apple stop limiting who developers can develope apps for that is monopolizing and yes other companies got in trouble for it not only in Europe but also in america!
To "Free Range"... wow, sounds like you are Steve Jobs in disguise! Or rather a "parrot"!
Since you've never RUN an app on the iPhone created in Flash (yet) HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW they are "crappy"?! Aren't you just parroting your hero Steve Jobs (pre-lawsuit)? You're old stupid news!
At least be original and speak for yourself. If you're not being *paid* by Apple for your (wrong) Propaganda, WHY DO IT?
To JAMES, who wrote: "Why shouldn't a company for whatever reason be allowed to limit app development to certain "approved" tools?"
Uh, because each person BOUGHT a PHONE they should be free to use anyway they WANT, that's why!!!
Hey Coca Cola makes soda, shouldn't they be able to tell you how to drink it? With what dishes and so forth? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh clueless one, write once and port to multiple platforms has been proven time and time again to be an inferior method of application development as every platform is different, with different characteristics and capabilities. What you end up with is underperforming, lowest common denominator, poorly performing, reduced features, etc. apps. It is the lazy man's method of development. If you knew anything about software development you'd understand this. Apple's decision is NOT ABOUT THE DEVELOPER, its about the consumer - providing the best possible consumer experience which is what Apple consistently does better than anyone. But somehow the EU got it backwards! So grow up and get your head out of the sand.

OKLAHOMA CITY – One year after severe storms and tornadoes, including an EF-5 tornado, devastated the central region of Oklahoma, progress continues to be made for survivors and communities affected.
Millions of dollars in state and federal assistance has helped in repairing and rebuilding homes, businesses and schools damaged by the storms.
To date, the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have awarded more than $15 million to eligible survivors in Canadian, Cleveland, Le Flore, Lincoln, McClain, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Oklahoma and Pottawatomie counties for rental assistance, repair or replacement of damaged homes and other disaster-related needs; the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has approved more than $50.9 million in low-interest disaster loans to 937 Oklahoma residents and businesses to help with their recovery; and more than $41 million in state and federal aid will pay for emergency protective measures, debris removal, and infrastructure repair and replacement in Atoka, Canadian, Cleveland, Coal, Craig, Haskell, Hughes, Latimer, Lincoln, McClain, McIntosh, Nowata, Okfuskee, Oklahoma, Okmulgee, Ottawa, Pittsburg, Pottawatomie, Pushmataha and Seminole counties.
Also, $3.5 million in Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funding has already been fast-tracked to support projects designed to help reduce damage in future disasters. This included residential safe room programs, warning systems and other projects.
"The spring of 2013 was a horrific time for Oklahomans, but the hard work and determination we've seen in only a year has been amazing," said OEM Director Albert Ashwood. "We continue to work with FEMA, local emergency managers, other state, local and federal agencies, as well as voluntary organizations and private sector partners to help ensure the best possible recovery for these communities."
"Oklahomans are a resilient people who come together to support one another when disaster strikes and stay together through both the short- and long-term recovery efforts," said FEMA R6 Administrator Tony Robinson. "We were proud to work side by side with our local, state, federal, tribal, volunteer and private sector partners during this challenging time."
The storms of May 18 to June 2, 2013 resulted in a federal disaster declaration on May 20 for Cleveland, Lincoln, McClain, Oklahoma and Pottawatomie counties, while other counties and more FEMA programs were added at later dates. Find more information on the disaster operations at OEM.ok.gov or www.fema.gov/disaster/4117.
The Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management (OEM) prepares for, responds to, recovers from and mitigates against emergencies and disasters. The department delivers service to Oklahoma cities, towns and counties through a network of more than 350 local emergency managers.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. Follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/femaregion6 and the FEMA Blog at http://blog.fema.gov.
The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is the federal government's primary source of money for the long-term rebuilding of disaster-damaged private property. SBA helps homeowners, renters, businesses of all sizes, and private nonprofit organizations fund repairs or rebuilding efforts and cover the cost of replacing lost or disaster-damaged personal property. These disaster loans cover losses not fully compensated by insurance or other recoveries and do not duplicate benefits of other agencies or organizations.

A story about loss, redemption and coming-of-age, "Jump Ashin!" (翻滾吧!阿信) split its soul into so many pieces for maximum commercial appeal that it eventually reminds us of Harry Potter's Voldemort, whose soul degenerated because he split it into seven pieces to bid for power and immortality.

"Larry Crowne" serves as a reminder that you can have two of the most likable, bankable stars on the planet together, but strong writing is crucial to making them shine.
Ruba Nadda's "Cairo Time" is a film seeking poetry and not quite finding it.
Three lives clash in the Taiwanese crime thriller "Make Up" (命運化妝師) when a closeted music teacher takes her life, leaving a trail of unanswered questions for a make-up artist, a psychiatrist and a detective to follow.
"The Way Back" represents an exquisite example of style over substance, of vast visuals dwarfing the characters and nearly swallowing the story whole.
Don't be fooled by the title of Shu Qi's (舒淇) latest film "A Beautiful Life" (不再讓你孤單), a romantic tragicomedy that lures you into a false sense of security before pulling the chair from under you. What promises to be a light and airy romcom comes crashing down halfway in and a completely different film begins.
2011/6/17, 4 Comments
Gorgeous and ambitious, pretentious and baffling, tightly controlled yet free-flowing, "The Tree of Life" is unlike anything you've ever seen before.
Both geographically and dramatically, "The Human Resources Manager" covers a lot of territory.

Recap Sinopsis Prime Minister And I Episode 9
Prime Minister and I: Episode 1 Recap
Prime Minister and I: Episode 1 RECAP by Drama Beans
We open at a banquet hall where preparations are underway, leading up to the arrival of our hero, Prime Minister KWON YUL (Lee Beom-soo) and his wife, NAM DA-JUNG (Yoon-ah), who greet the roomful of dignitaries with a smile.
But there's a different story that lies beneath those adoring smiles as the power couple turns to each other… and exchange looks of distaste.
Prime Minister and I - Episode 1 Recap
Prime Minister and I – Episode 1 Recap by Dramabeans:
Next in the KBS rom-com lineup is Prime Minister and I, whose light and breezy tone took me by surprise. I knew to prepare myself for the cute, but I didn't expect it to also stir the heartstrings in the first hour. There's promise and potential in a story that moves fairly quickly that contains both heartwarming and funny notes. And damn, a prime minister has never looked this good.
Prime Minister and I Episode 2 Recap
Prime Minister and I Episode 2 Recap by Dramabeans:
The ruse begins, and Episode 2 gives us a chance to enjoy the inherent awkwardness in the Odd Couple match-up of two people who just don't see each other in That Way. At least, not yet, and I'm content to let that play out over time—these two have enough likable charm that I feel pretty confident that I'll buy the romance once it swings around, but don't need it to come blazing out of the gates. Not while we have comedy to mine, and there's certainly plenty of opportunity for that in this setup. I'm particularly fond of the forced smiles Lee Beom-soo has to slap on his face, which are hilariously stilted, and wouldn't want to trade those for anything.
Prime Minister and I: Episode 6 recap
EPISODE 6 RECAP by drama beans
So our married couple spends their first night together with Yul staying up to work while Da-jung sleeps. The following morning, Da-jung encourages a reluctant Man-se to attend kindergarten. She promises him a playdate, but a stern word from his father gets him to grudgingly head off to school.
Calling her a worry (geok-jung), Yul sighs in exasperation and removes a note attached to Da-jung's back (another one of Na-ra's pranks). He tells her to stay out of trouble since worrying about national affairs gives him enough of a headache and to stop wearing the hanbok.
Prime Minister and I: Episode 5 recap
EPISODE 5 RECAP by Dramabeans
Yul is taken aback by the surprise kiss (but… kisses!), but even more alarmed to learn that there's a spy within the estate. He gets defensive about said kiss later, blustering that their lip smacking was more like a car crash, and warns her against assaulting his lips again. Pfft, the man doth protest too much, methinks.
Anyhow, he instructs her to throw out her copy of their contract while he'll do the same, but Da-jung isn't about to get rid of her insurance that easily—what'll they do if he eats and run on their agreement? As in he'll get what he wants and runs?
"Prime Minister And I" – Episode 7, 8 Recap
"Prime Minister And I" – Episode 7, 8 Recap by Couch-Kimchi:
So you already know that I had to be talked into watching this and my reasons for not wanting to watch were fairly lame. I'm back to confess once again how wrong I was. (LOL) We only had one episode this week but it was so much fun! A pivotal episode where both our leads seem to be aware they're falling in love. *squeeee*
Da Jung tries helping our Prime Minister sleep by reading to him but she falls asleep – and plops right onto his shoulder. However, she wakes up when he tries to move her into a comfortable position and accuses him of being a wolf. (LOL) He also doesn't like her using his bathroom, especially when she waltzes out in a bathrobe with wet hair.
Uncle Jung-Ki plots to have an important cabinet meeting cancelled by bribing other Ministers not to show up. Chief Kang calls Da Jung, asking her to delay Yool until they can gather everyone. So how does she delay him? By attacking him and even pulling his butt to stop him. Ahahaha. The housekeeper catches Da Jung on top of Yool.
Prime Minister and I Episode 14 Recap
EPISODE 14 RECAP by dramabeans
Yul confesses his feelings for Da-jung and wipes away her tears, apologizing for making her cry again. He takes her hand and vows never to let it go. Oh, swooooon, now that's romantic.
But their sentimental moment is cut short when little Man-se bursts into the room seconds later, and then throws an adorable tantrum over how Da-jung chose to sleep here with Daddy last night and not him.
Prime Minister and I: Episode 16 Recap
Prime Minister and I: Episode 16 Recap By DramaBeans
Despite Yul coming to collect her, Da-jung declares that she won't be going back home with him, and adds for good measure: "Let's break up." But Yul refuses to hear it and takes her suitcase before ushering Da-jung into the car by the hand.
It's a mostly silent ride until Yul pulls over to the side of the road and gets out to finally get some air. When Da-jung follows him, he demands to know her train of thought by having him meet his not-so-dead first wife and leaving them—was it for his sake? Or the children?
Korean SBS Drama Secret Door Episode 13 Recap and Screenshots
by Dramabeans:
In the wake of Yeongjo's order to kill everyone in possession of the book that makes him complicit in his brother's death, Sun finally confronts him with the truth: Did he sign the maengui? Is he Juk-pa and does that mean that everything written in this book is true?
Yeongjo quakes with rage to be confronted with the truth so head-on by Sun, and cries defensively, "'How afraid were you? How difficult and scary was it? Didn't someone threaten to kill you? If you didn't sign that document, were you scared they would kill you?' If you are my child… IF YOU ARE MY SON—that is what you should ask!"
Korean SBS Drama Secret Door Episode 14 Recap and Screenshots
By Dramabeans:
Sun bursts in to stop the torture, too late to save Ji-dam's father. He confronts his father with threat of the maengui, now that he has possession of the original document, and demands a stop to the proceedings. Yeongjo just literally walks over the pile of bodies he's just killed and leaves without sparing Sun a word.
The father-son confrontation continues that evening, when Yeongjo laughs bitterly, asking if he's to try to rule the nation while feeling on the hook to his son. Which is rather missing the point, honey, if you think Sun would be happy letting you rule while pulling your puppet strings.
Korean Drama 'Punch' Episode 1 Recap
By: Dramabeans
In the middle of the night, prosecutor PARK JUNG-HWAN (Kim Rae-won) is roused from his modest single room by his panicked superior, who shows him the latest news: someone who isn't him has announced his candidacy for the position of Prosecutor General, and he wants Jung-hwan to do something about it.
They both know the man on the front page, as the superior Prosecutor General candidate LEE TAE-JOON (Jo Jae-hyun) fumes that he'll quit his job as a prosecutor if he doesn't get that position.
SBS Drama "Punch" Episode 12 Recap
By: Dramabeans
Ho-sung thinks he has big news for Jung-hwan when he reveals that he's been suspended from looking into Professor Noh Young-jin's accounts, only for Jung-hwan to admit that hecalled it off.
Our novice prosecutor doesn't understand, especially since Tae-joon is out there actively winning over the media to prevent them from thinking he had political motives in targeting the Chief of Staff. Their goal should be to make Noh Young-jin's word untrustworthy…
SBS Drama "Punch" Episode 13 Recap
By: Dramabeans
In amidst the whirlwind of media coverage surrounding Minister Yoon the day before her confirmation hearing, she makes sure to get all the details from Ho-sung regarding his search and seizure of all Dr. Mechanic's possessions. She wants to make sure his father left nothing behind regarding the enlistment fraud case.
She has to smile and act upright for the cameras, hypocritically promising that she'll hide nothing during her hearing. Only when she's safely in her car does she call Ho-sung to tell him to meet with Dr. Mechanic in person and bring her anything regarding the enlistment case if he has it.
SBS Drama "Punch" Episode 14 Recap
Jung-hwan eases Ha-kyung's concern over whether he'll be able to take all the blame the media and public are going to foist on him, citing how he was eventually able to withstand the way she looked at him after their divorce. This, comparatively, is nothing.
He asks her, and not another prosecutor, to come arrest him in ten minutes. He's got a meeting with the prosecutor general first.
Tae-joon is gleefully combative when Jung-hwan first walks in, sorry-but-not-sorry for the scandal with Ye-rin as he offers to pay for her future wedding in recompense. "Oh, and should I walk her down the aisle too?" he asks, rubbing salt into the wound.
SBS Drama "Punch" Episode 17 Recap
Yeon-jin, unaware that she's been found out by Tae-joon, calls Jung-hwan after the meeting to alert him to Tae-joon's plans. He's unconcerned since the footage proving Lee Tae-sub murdered the researcher will be recovered by tomorrow, which will be the end of their fight.
As usual, he has a sixth sense for unwanted emotionality, so he quickly hangs up the second Yeon-jin displays any sort of feeling when it comes to his impending death.
Instead of resting like Ha-kyung would prefer, Jung-hwan instead writes up a statement and questionnaire for a formal investigation into his dealings with Tae-joon beginning from seven years ago.
SBS Drama "Heard It Through the Grapevine" Episode 1 Recap
We meet beleaguered father SEO HYUNG-SHIK (Jang Hyun-sung) working at his job as a trophy maker before returning to his humble home with his brother and wife.
They share one tiny house and one car between them, but of more importance is their pregnant young daughter set to deliver her baby in two weeks' time.
She'll be giving birth without the baby's father around, which has Papa Seo all but wailing about his breaking heart—he had such high hopes for his daughter, and now none of them will ever be fulfilled. Because babies ruin lives.
Kdrama "Mi Rae's Choice" Episode 7 Recap
Kdrama "Mi Rae's Choice" Episode 7 Recap
The episode opens up with Shin walking up on a Se Joo and Mi Rae moment. He turns to a corner with disappointment on his face. He dwells on it a little and decides to call out to them to join the others. Se Joo gets up first and Shin gives Se Joo a pat on the arm for his hard work and thanks him for his quick thinking on the water tank. Se Joo quietly accepts his appreciation and goes inside.

Oral arguments are scheduled this week in the appeal of a Dothan man who was sentenced to die for killing an elderly woman.
22-year-old Antonio Jones was charged with the New Year's Eve 1999 beating death of 80-year-old Ruth Kirkland.
DNA tests revealed the woman's blood was on his clothes.
The same jury that convicted Jones also recommended the death penalty.
Before sentencing Jones to die, Judge Jerry White called the crime the worst he's ever seen after nearly 40-years in the criminal justice system.
Oral arguments are set for Tuesday before the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals in Montgomery.

This may be a bit low-tech, and you will definitely not want any witnesses but...
try resting the back of your head on the baseboard of the enlarger. Look up into the lens with the enlarger lamp on and voila, you will see the neg, carrier, etc in sharp relief. Any funky edges of, say, the neg carrier will be immediately apparent. Remember that if the left side of your print is bad, then the right side of the neg will show the problem, if indeed the problem is up inside the enlarger.
Hope this helps.
Thanks, Jon.

Tretchikoff, by Howard Timmins, foreward by Stuart Cloete. Printed in the Republic of South Africa by Cape and Transvaal Printers 1969, Original dust jacket. Outer dimensions 19.25 inches x 14.75 inches. First Edition.
For your consideration, "Tretchikoff", by Howard Timmins, foreward by Stuart Cloete. Measuring a massive 19.25 inches x 14.75 inches. The book is in excellent condition (near mint) with no foxing or marks to its pages or cloth covers. The dust jacket exhibits tears to its spine (see photos), otherwise in excellent condition. Vladimir Tretchikoff (born 1913 in Petropavlovsk, Russia, now in Kazakhstan; died 2006 in Cape Town, South Africa) was one of the most commercially successful artists of his time - his painting Chinese Girl (popularly known as The Green Lady) is one of the best selling art prints. Tretchikoff was a self-taught artist who painted realistic figures, portraits, still life and animals, with subjects often inspired by his early life in China and Malaysia, and later life in South Africa Tretchikoff was the youngest of eight children in a wealthy family in Petropavlovsk, an industrial city in Siberia. Upon the Russian Revolution in 1917, the family abandoned their property and fled to Harbin, a city in China with a large Russian presence. Tretchikoff worked as a scene painter at the city's Russian opera house, and studied at the Manchurian College until the age of 16. This explains why much of his later work is designed to be seen from a distance with an inherent theatricality. Tretchikoff's work was popular with the general public, but is often seen by art critics as the epitome of kitsch (indeed, he was nicknamed the "King of Kitsch"). He worked in oil, watercolor, ink, charcoal and pencil but is best known for his reproduction prints which are sold worldwide.

The Portugal international is set to line up against his former club for the first time since sealing a record £80m move to the Bernabéu in 2009 in the Champions League last-16 tie.
The 28-year-old has already netted a staggering 36 goals so far this season, including five braces and three hat-tricks.
And although former Red Devils defender Neville admits that United will have their work cut out in keeping him quiet, he believes that Sir Alex Ferguson's men will have a chance if they double up on him.
"I watched him play against Sevilla on Saturday night and he scored three goals in about 30 minutes, and they were all different types of goals too," Neville told BBC Radio Five Live.

"I think if Ronaldo is out on the right wing against Rafael, Phil Jones might come across to cover, so they've got two men against him."
