Modi is on a Bharat darshan. And the TV news channels are on a Modi darshan
If it's Saturday, it must be Narendra Modi. If it's Sunday, it must be Modi. If it's Monday, it must be Modi and even if it's Tuesday, it must be Modi. You get the general drift? Every day is Modi-day on television news. One morning, they telecast his speech live from Ahmedabad, then it's Delhi, followed by Kolkata. Boy, does the chief minister of Gujarat get around. Looks like he's on a Bharat darshan and TV news is on Modi darshan.
The media is, quite literally, the medium for his message. This suits Modi admirably: through television, his white-bearded face is getting known beyond Gujarat and his views on an infinite variety of subjects are being aired at length. And because he's addressing formal gatherings to which he has been invited, not facing aggressive journalists at interviews or press conferences, he's seldom asked hard questions. Talk about free advertisements for Narendra Modi.
It suits the media to promote Modi, and not only because he's the front-runner in BJP's prime ministerial race. At a time when advertising is becoming a serious concern for many news channels and Trai is trying to restrict advertising to 12-minutes per hour on TV, they need to keep costs down. And like every other malaise that afflicts the country, Modi seems to offer a cure: he's charismatic but contentious and therefore generates conflict and strong reactions ideal for TV. He offers high viewership at low cost for cash-strapped TV news.
Take Monday, for instance: in the morning, TV news covered his speech at the FICCI Ladies Organisation event in Delhi. As soon as the session ended, they analysed the speech Jasuben versus Kalavati, screamed headlines. The next few hours were spent telecasting excerpts from Modi's speech, reactions to his speech and features on Jasuben, the pizza queen of Ahmedabad who he'd referred to. This continued until it was time to go live to Modi, again, this time at the TV18 Think India dialogue. Back to another cycle of discussions on what he said, reactions, excerpts.

Peter Yorke
Father Peter Christopher Yorke (15 August 1864 in Galway, Ireland - 4 April 1925 in San Francisco, California)[1] was an Irish-American Catholic priest and a noted Irish Republican and Labor activist in San Francisco. He was the youngest child of Gregory Yorke, a sea-captain, and his wife Brigid, née Kelly. He was pastor of St. Peter's in 1914.
The Yorke family were originally from Holland, where the name was spelled Jorke. Peter Yorke's grandfather, Christopher Yorke, came to Galway in the early 19th century, building lighthouses and breakwaters in Galway, Aran and Westport.[2] Gregory Yorke died six months before Peter was born. In 1882, Yorke graduated from St. Jarlath's College in Tuam. He then went to St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, where he studied for 4 years before being adopted by the Diocese of San Francisco. He was ordained in 1887.
In San Francisco, he became the editor of The Monitor, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of San Francisco. In 1901, he supported the workers in a Teamsters strike. In 1902, he founded and edited a local newspaper called The Leader.
A short street called Peter Yorke Way in San Francisco, which runs from the junction of Geary Boulevard and Gough Street to Post Street, is named after him. The headquarters of the Archdiocese of San Francisco is located at 1 Peter Yorke Way.
Author of the best-selling text book The Ghosts of Bigotry, originally re-published in San Francisco 1913 from new plates, the originals having been destroyed in the Earthquake and Fire of 1906. It was the genesis work of the Catholic Truth Society, in response to an anti-Catholic literary campaign by the American Protestant Association, and a frank account of the "Black Myths" of English Protestant opposition to the Roman Catholic Church from the reign of Elizabeth the First through to Catholic Emancipation and the failed Ecclesiastical Titles Bill in the 19th Century. Its concluding chapter sets the scene of Catholic resurgence in the USA. The publisher was the Text Book Publishing Company, 641 Stevenson Street.
Yorke is buried at Holy Cross Cemetery in Colma, California. Every Palm Sunday the United Irish Societies of San Francisco hold a memorial celebration of Father Yorke at Holy Cross Cemetery. Following the Palm Sunday Mass at All Saints Chapel, there is a short procession to his graveside. There poems, music and speeches celebrate his life.

I was wondering if anyone else has a walking little one? Bailey has been walking for 2 weeks now! (Her birthday is Oct 1). My other 3 all walked at 11 months; I was very surprised when she started walking at 9 months! Anyone else?

YMichele [ Loving Wife to Scott (12/98) Y Busy Mom to Luke (06/2000), Maggie (11/2002), Katie (11/2004), and Bailey (10/2007) JY
I know I was very surprised when she took those first steps. I can't believe how fast our LO's are growing. This year is going by too fast! Hailey took her first 2 steps 3 days before she turned 9 months (6 days ago). She isn't good at it but she is taking more and more steps everyday as she becomes more confident.
Kacy, Mom to Hailey 10/07
Jaelyn took her first steps at 9 months, we couldn't believe it b/c she seemed too little to start. She'll be 10 months next week and she's walking quite a bit now. It's so cute to see. She's still pretty wobbly but she gets stronger everyday. My friends think I'm crazy to be excited about walking but honestly I think it'll be a little easier when she's not crawling all over the ground.
Mom to Jaelyn - 10/3/07
Nope! Amy still hasn't even mastered crawling. She kinda does this army crawl thing instead of being on her hands and knees. She attempts to stand up, but her legs can't seem to support her that well...even when we hold her in a standing position. She'll stand for a couple of seconds while we hold her and then all of a sudden her knees buckle. I'm not looking forward to her walking anyway because then I'll have two walking children to chase after!
Sabrina, mom to Matthew 11.03.04 and Amy 10.02.07
Reading this made me teary-eyed. Just in the car yesterday I was looking back at Trey (of course I wasn't driving) thinking of how pg I was this time last year. And how I am sitting here trying to plan his first b-day party. Now reading how some of the Oct babies are walking!! OMG they are growing so fast!!!
But all this to say not yet. Trey has taken a step here and there but no walking yet.
Mohinton - I know exactly what you mean!!! Bailey is our last baby (I had a tubal after her delivery), so I was really hoping to have her be a baby a little longer!!! She crawled at 7 months, so I was looking forward to a long crawling phase - I think crawling babies are just the cutest little things!!!! I guess she is just doing everything early - she was born 3 weeks early! Let's hope she potty trains early!! lol!
When my other 3 started walking, it took them awhile to realize walking was a way to get around - they just thought it was something fun to do to get applause. Bailey realized on the 3rd day that she could get from one place to the other by walking. She is now even walking around holding things in her hands!! I am having trouble finding shoes with bottoms that fit her little feet for her to wear when we go out (at home, of course, she is barefoot). Sigh... My baby is growing up!!

Maddy is so close it's scary! She just turned 9m on Saturday. She pulls up on the couch, lets go, takes a couple steps to the coffee table & grabs onto that. She just goes back & forth. Now she's trying to stand up in the middle of the floor without pulling up. That's the one that worries me - with my first, once she could stand up without pulling up she was walking everywhere!

Ayden has been taking steps for over a week now and every day he gets farther and farther. Today he's been walking the most and farthest I've seen him do. I got out the camera and started recording him. It's so cute and I am so amused. He's 10 months old.

Lilly is no where near walking! She does this "crawling" where she's on her stomach and drags herself forward and can go from that to sitting and back. She does look like she wants to stand up in the middle of the floor.
"This isn't even one + one = blue level crazy, this is like red + burned fish = Space Ghost."- KahlanAmnell
we dont walk alone buthe walks if it moves. He walks with pretty much everything! he gets scared to stand alone not holding anything although he can!
God will not give you more then you can handle. Apparently I am a hell of a lot stronger then I ever thought I was. I miss My angle Benton.8.
Grace is cruisin, and standing, but not quite walking. She is 9 months

FALENTIEERH - silver and labradorite by LUNARIEENWatch
Fully handmade work : necklaces, pendants
technique: wire-wrapping
materials: sterling silver , fine silver and labradorite
technique: wire-wrapping
materials: sterling silver , fine silver and labradorite

So beautiful ! The stone has such a lovely color...
Ooooooh SHINY!
I love the stone you picked! And the detail is phenomenal XD
Oh my gosh, the colours are so vibrant and gentle. And the design of the frame-ish thing is so beautiful!
Beautiful work!
its hypnotizing me to it
I have been following your work on deviantart for quite some time and this is my favorite piece that you've made yet. So intricate and beautiful. You frame the gem so perfectly and the wire wrapping is so delicate and almost lace like. I truly love this piece.
If I had money, that would become mine.
that looks like it would hurt to wear
i mean its so pretty but... ow
Actually, the jewelry is pretty practical for wear, despite what you might think!
I purchased their piece, Lumiliarh, earlier this year and I absolutely love it.
The edges are quite sharp, yes, but it is designed in a way that you do not come into contact with them often, if at all, while wearing it. And the piece I bought is decidedly much more hurt-to-wear than this one, as you can see by the point of the amulet in the picture!
The sharp prongs can get caught if you have loosely stitched clothing, such as knitted works or shawls with holes throughout them. But for every day wear, like t-shirts and even on bare skin, they're perfect for almost every outfit.
oh i see, they look really pretty... how big are they?
The pendants and chains vary in size, but their size is dictated on each piece of jewelry's information page.
For example, this piece is here: www.lunarieenuk.co.uk/en/neckl…
And it says its length 8.3 cm, width 6.8 cm.
My pendant is 7.7 cm, width 3.5 cm, so this one is a bit larger. Mine is a little smaller than the size of my palm when it rests in my hand though, so it's pretty big but not super heavy or bulky to wear.
I love the shape you chose to use to encase the labradorite
Very beautiful piece. The style reminds me of the type of work worn by the various
elves as depicted in the LotR films, though I find your level of detail and execution
far greater. Your silver sets off the intricate pattern of occlusion in the stone and
highlights the subtle greens and blues to perfection. Bravo on such a stunnning
work of art!
The color of the stone and the design of this necklace are very awesome!!! *can't find words to discribe the awesomeness*
I love the stone that is in it and is that sterling silver?
So... *w* Pretty...

Desk Job: Benjamin Gable
A desk can tell you a lot about a person, and these are the stories of our favorites. (Desks, that is. And also people.)
Benjamin Gable, Copywriter
Dum Dums
"For me, being a productive writer depends on a unique mixture of iced coffee and candy. I would claim this to be a secret formula for success, but I probably shouldn't recommend this to anyone."
Vintage surf magazine
"I'm always looking for inspiration when naming collections or frames. Sometimes you find it in some pretty unexpected places, say a surf magazine from 1972. How could you not like the name Buttons Kaluhiokalani?"
"I recently turned the page in adulthood where I started buying multiples of the same item. If you know what you love, why not stick with it? Uh, I'm officially my dad. Anyways, the Downing frame is my favorite."
Random props
"Little secret, we copywriters get to choose the props for all of the blog stories. Here are a few good ones that just arrived. (Side note: I'll sneak Elvis into our blog as much as possible.)"
Jack Kerouac
"I've always been a pretty big Kerouac fan. To stay inspired, I keep one of his books within an arm's reach of my keyboard."

OECD Week 2015 focused on investment, inclusive growth, innovation, the new climate economy and the Sustainable Development Goals. It includes the annual Ministerial meeting, Forum 2015 and meetings linked to G20, B20 and L20 forums, bringing together Ministers from 34 member countries and Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, South Africa with representatives from business, trade unions, civil society, academia and media.
Forum 2015, entitled Investing in the Future: People, Planet, Prosperity, was organised around the five cross-cutting themes of the OECD Week: investment; inclusive growth; innovation, climate, Carbon, COP21 and the Sustainable Development Goals and took place at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris on 2-3 June 2015.
Institutional investors (investment funds, insurance companies and pension funds) are major collectors of savings and suppliers of funds to financial markets. Their role as financial intermediaries and their impact on investment strategies have grown significantly over recent years along with deregulation and globalisation of financial markets.
This publication provides a unique set of statistics that reflect the level and structure of the financial assets of institutional investors in the OECD countries, and in the Russian Federation. Concepts and definitions are predominantly based on the System of National Accounts. Data are derived from national sources.
Data include outstanding amounts of financial assets such as currency and deposits, securities, loans, and shares. When relevant, they are further broken down according to maturity and residency. The publication covers investment funds, of which open-end companies and closed-end companies, as well as insurance corporations and autonomous pension funds. Indicators are presented as percentages of GDP allowing for international comparisons, and at country level, both in national currency and as percentages of total financial assets of the investor. Time series display available data for the last eight years.
2014 OECD/Euromoney Roundtable on Long-term Investment Policy: The roundtable provided a unique opportunity for participants to discuss the OECD's work on institutional investors and long-term financing with senior policymakers and regulators, and to facilitate investment by institutional investors, addressing both potential regulatory obstacles and market failures.
Focused on "Unlocking investment for sustainable growth and jobs", the 2015 OECD Ministerial Council Meeting (MCM) will be held at the OECD Headquarters in Paris on Wednesday and Thursday 3-4 June 2015, under the chairmanship of the Netherlands, with the Czech Republic, France and Korea as Vice-Chairs.
Advancing green growth is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. We need to use all of our knowledge to bring the private sector on board. If we fail to do this, we will fail to provide our citizens with adequate water, transport and energy infrastructure, and cause disastrous harm to our environment, said OECD Secretary-General

This article appears in the May issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
On the commute to his private cardiology practice in Ocala, Fla., Justin Ferns, MD, FACC, used to pass a local dance studio and ponder . Born and raised in southern India, Ferns grew up playing soccer and tennis for exercise, but never had formal dance training. After he broke his ankle playing soccer six years ago, Ferns finally stopped into the dance studio, searching for a low-impact exercise routine. The cardiologist quickly noted dance's impact on his own endurance and health, so he began to suggest dancing to his patients as a low-impact way to improve cardiovascular health. The intersection of his new hobby and profession became "CardioWaltz" in 2010. Every other Wednesday evening, Ferns hosts the free class and recruits one of his personal dance instructors to teach 25–40 community members and many of his patients at the local recreational department's auditorium. During these classes, Ferns discusses cardiovascular health and preventive medicine. Monthly, he hosts CardioWaltz Galas, where he provides free cardiovascular screenings for an average turnout of 250 aspiring dancers.
When dancing and patient care meet on the dance floor: Aligning my interest in my patients with this hobby absolutely hit a passionate line for me. I look forward to interacting with my patients and my patients look forward to these CardioWaltz sessions. These lessons are very social, and patients are free to learn things at their own pace.
On dancing as a workout: Many times you can do it with a smile and burn calories. For a dance such as the waltz, if you do it properly you can maintain a pace that burns 350–400 calories in an hour. Not that you continuously waltz for an hour normally, but it just shows when you are waltzing in the right way the potential the exercise can reach. There are a lot of dance forms that allow you to increase the intensity to burn calories, too.
On practicing what you preach: That's all just a part of connecting to your patients: You should be encouraging them to try to do more, and if you're out there dancing and teaching, they will be more likely to take that advice and try something new.

on June 15, 2011 :
Thanks to "Loaners", I discovered there's a subtle but important difference between the twists in supernatural stories and horror tales: the supernatural doesn't have to make your skin crawl. Who knew?
Well, Ravis knew.

- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 6 boneless pork loin chops (3/4 inch thick)
- 1. Combine the chili powder, oregano, garlic and cumin; gently rub over both sides of pork chops. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- 2. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Yield: 6 servings.

"[for centuries] Nobody cared about the health of Middle-Easterners [...] But now that Mr. Bobby and Johnny are smoking it, it becomes a health hazard" (Samira Mohyeddin to Metronews, Canada ) ["[durant des siècles] Personne ne s'est jamais soucié de la santé des Orientaux […] Mais à présent que Mr Dupont et Mr Durand s'adonnent [à l'une de leur pratiques], cela devient un problème de santé publique…" (Samira M.)].

Kamal Chaouachi (pronounced as Japanese patronym "Sha-wa-shi"). Research on highly complex sensitive transdisciplinary issues: particularly and presently those related to the health of populations , as the question of ancient oriental pipes has amazingly become (a "global epidemic" according to the WHO…). Other past and parallel fields of interest and actual research (health, historical, linguistic, social and cultural anthropology, respectively): drug education (use, abuse, prevention) at the international (UN) level; pre-Columbian mummies ; Maltese (major finding: the very –chiefly, though not exclusively- Tunisian origins of this European language (see book 2014 ). (See here what a complex problem is and there what a sensitive one is ).
Privileged approach: medical anthropology (in the name of hundred millions of voiceless people across the world demanding respect for their ancient popular daily culture). Keywords: public health; cultural heritage; toxicity; health effects; popular culture; material culture; immaterial culture; museography; peace studies; gender issues; (biomedical) orientalism; (biomedical) neo-orientalism.
Scientific (university) background (biology, physics, chemistry and social sciences). Post-graduated in Tobacco Science (University of Paris, 1998)(Best thesis). Author of a 420-page 850-substantial bibliographical footnote comprehensive transdisciplinary doctoral thesis, sealing 5 years of research and bridging between social and biomedical sciences (Summa cum laude [Highest honours]. Viva examiners: Pr Pierre B. (CNRS, Univ. Paris X); Pr Robert M. (Univ. Paris XI-XII & President Societe Tabacologie); Pr François G., EHESS & CNRS, Paris). Native of Tunisia-Middle East. Taught the full spectrum science of water-filtered tobacco smoke to French doctors (University of Paris XI-XII, 2006-2010). Scientific collaborator of various research centres in Asia, Africa and Europe (important: all independent from both pharmaceutical and tobacco industries).
> 2015: NEW CONCISE LIST OF PUBLICATIONS on ResearchGate
SUMMARY OF RESEARCH (author or chief co-author) related to the issue of ancient pipes ONLY:
Main finding: the oriental pipe as the oldest tobacco harm reduction technique of the world (e.g., see also cancer studies 2007-8; +150, 000 views on main site only). Note: harm reduction = making things LESS harmful, NOT harmless.
Note: Co-inventor of an oriental pipe with simplified lighting (95% reduction of CO, PAHs, etc.)(with overheating control stick keeping mixture at bay from heating source). Download full description with drawing.
> Two transdisciplinary research Books: (1) Tout savoir sur le narguile : societe, histoire, culture et sante [English > see there: Everything about hookahs: societies, culture, history, health] (Paris, Maisonneuve & Larose, 2007, 256 pages); (2) " Le narguile : Anthropologie (Paris, L'Harmattan, 1997, 266 pages). "La valeur intrinsèque d'un livre ne dépend pas de l'importance du sujet (sans quoi les théologiens l'emporteraient de loin) mais de la manière d'aborder l'accidentel et l'insignifiant, de maîtriser l'infime. L'essentiel n'a jamais exigé le moindre talent" (Cioran: "L'inconvénient d'être né")
> First world studies on: Hookah Smoking and Cancer aetiology [2008]; its Radiological Hazards [2008] and its ETS (Environmental Tobacco Smoke) (Passive Smoke) [2009] including Public Health recommendations; the methodological critique of the WHO flawed report on ""waterpipe"" smoking [2006] prepared by 20 WHO top tobacco experts (most of them from the USA). The 2 first sentences of this report contain 2 errors... Pioneering study on Trace Elements (heavy metals) in various oriental smoking mixtures [2014] (see list further down).
> First measurements of alveolar and ambient CO (Carbon Monoxide) in smoking lounges in 1997. Issued the first Public Health recommendations in this respect (Alcoologie 1999; republished Epidemiology&Public Health 2007).
> First technical and critical comprehensive reviews (1998, 2000, 2004, 2005-6) on this issue: Tetralogy on hookah and health .
> Methodological critique (2009) of the WHO & US American University of Beirut's flawed smoking robot (behind the global confusion: e.g. above WHO flawed report, one 30-minute hookah session = up to 450 cigarettes...)[BBC story] and its smoking topography ( topography ). Levels of toxic chemicals skyrocket and vary up to +70 times and even hundred times between two "studies"… Read critique in British Journal of Cancer
2013. Times are a changing... Interestingly, the new creed is that "hookah smoking carries many of the same health risks and has been linked to many of the same diseases caused by cigarette smoking" (American Lung Association). Not only is such a statement in full contradiction with the substance of the ««waterpipe»» "scientific" literature over the last half decade (1 pipe equals up to 450 cigs...), but is it also totally antiscientific and even more deceitful than the previous ones.
2013-2016: Cutting-edge transdisciplinary psycho-pharmacology / medical anthropology research by international team: 1) exposing another great scientific fallacy: Hookah (shisha, narghile) use as a gateway to cigarette smoking ; 2) "The buzz effect and its model : from nicotine receptors to carboxyhemoglobin levels" . Related research: 3) "Hookah initial use among teenagers: a "vaccine" against cigarette smoking? Public health & macroeconomical implications".
PLAGIARISM: An extensive part of this work has been plagiarised (e.g., non exhaustive list): in France in 2007 (by Bertrand DAUTZENBERG (Universite Paris VI and OFT) and Jean-Yves NAU (journal Le Monde and Revue Medicale Suisse); in 2013 in the United Kingdom (by Olivia MAYNARD and coll., Nov. issue of the "Addiction" Journal headed by Robert WEST); in the USA and Lebanon in 2015 (by Ghazi ZAATARI, US-American University of Beirut and WHO TobReg , in the March issue of the "Tobacco Control" journal. Note: this individual was the main co-author's partner and "peer-reviewer" of the WHO flawed report on ««waterpipe»» published 10 years ago. In their biased pseudo-scientific "review" of health studies, GZ and his colleagues have paraphrased entire paragraphs of our early comprehensive Tetralogy on Hookah & Health published in Tabaccologia in 2005 (particularly Part 3). Action will be taken as there have been precedents of such unethical scientific misconduct among Lebanese researchers (see further down). Meanwhile, see here a global response to such behaviours.
Potential competing interests: see relevant paragraph right at the end of this recent publication (The Open Medical Chemistry Journal).
Other : Peer-reviewer of manuscripts for several journals: e.g. "Prevalence and Predictors of Hookah Use in US Air Force Military Recruits" (Addictive Behaviors, Spring 2015).

Alternate title: Vincent Van Gogh
Running nearly three hours, Maurice Pialat's VAN GOGH is a leisurely paced look at the famous painter's final year. Pialat's portrait differs from many other films in that he shows VAN GOGH (Jacques Dutronc) as being reasonably sane and he focuses on the everyday events of the painter's life and art. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

It all sounds so wonderful and innovative and compassionate. And even better – somebody else is paying for it all. We think.
Now our debt, at over $16 trillion, is bigger than our whole economy. More than 100% of our GDP.
Investment guru Bill Gross, of PIMCO in Newport Beach, California, has been writing that the "new normal" for economic growth in the US will be below its historic average.
What is one of the major reasons why? He cites research by Harvard economists Carmen Reinhart and Ken Rogoff which shows that "for the past 200 years, once a country exceeded 90 percent debt/GDP ratio, economic growth slowed by nearly 2 percent….for an average duration of nearly a decade."
Part of President Obama's proposal to bypass the "fiscal cliff" is to get rid of the requirement that Congress must approve increases in the debt limit. I wonder why?
It's time for responsible behavior and hard choices. If we can't just cut spending, let the "fiscal cliff" kick in.

Breakfast On the Grill Recipe
5 3
"I thought having breakfast in our backyard would be a nice way to christen our new patio, so I came up with this combination to cook on the grill," recalls Shirley Ellul of Redford, Michigan. It's a fun idea for camping, too.
- 1 can (8 ounces) pineapple chunks
- 3 cups cubed French bread (1-inch cubes)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 8 slices Canadian bacon, quartered
- Drain the pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons juice; set aside. Place bread in a large bowl; drizzle with butter and toss to coat. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over bread mixture and toss to coat.
- Transfer bread mixture to a double thickness of greased heavy-duty foil (about 28 in. x 18 in.) Add Canadian bacon and pineapple; drizzle with reserved pineapple juice.
- Fold foil around bread mixture and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side or until heated through. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. Yield: 4 servings.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Mule deer won't be going the way of the dodo bird anytime soon. Still, the recent dramatic decline in herd numbers around Colorado and the West is cause to take pause.
Simply put, the big-eared deer is as emblematic of Colorado as a Rocky Mountain ram or elk is an indicator species for the specific habitat it occupies. If mule deer are disappearing, you can be pretty sure that other species that live on the same land — such as sage grouse — are at risk too. And those species may very well make their way to the dodo list.
Mule deer also serve as an oft-overlooked indicator of economic health for the agency that manages state wildlife. True, the revenue generated by deer hunting licenses pales in comparison to elk in Colorado, but any decline in hunting because of fewer licenses being offered can have a ripple effect on overall wildlife programs. That includes wildlife management for all species, habitat conservation and recreational access for folks like us.
The suggestion of merely reducing the number of annual hunting licenses in order to restore population objectives is a vast oversimplification. Not only would such a strategy fail, it would drag others down with it.
As I see it, the biggest problem mule deer face may very well be that Colorado Parks and Wildlife is the lone state or federal agency to take their declining numbers seriously enough to make them a priority. And the task of restoring the herds and habitat is far greater than CPW alone.
"We are not a land management agency; we're a wildlife agency," CPW's northwest regional manager, Ron Velarde, said at Saturday's Mule Deer Summit in Glenwood Springs. "So we have to depend on, whether it's the Forest Service, the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), State Land Board or whomever, and work with them on trying to preserve as much wildlife habitat as possible. But they also have other uses that are outside of ours."
Although the agency has taken part in other planning meetings, the BLM was particularly conspicuous in its absence at the Mule Deer Summit and unveiling CPW's Draft Colorado West Slope Mule Deer Strategy Plan. Without the nation's largest — and Colorado's second largest — land management agency getting on board and making mule deer habitat a priority in the West, we can expect the herd numbers to continue declining.
With money raised through the habitat stamps required with the sale of every hunting and fishing license, and in conjunction with Great Outdoors Colorado, CPW has secured several conservation easements and preserved more than 100,000 acres of wildlife habitat in northwest Colorado alone.
But compare that to BLM's 8.4 million and USFS's 14.5 million primarily West Slope acres in Colorado and the vital significance of such agencies to the mule deer mission is all the more evident.
"For the habitat portion, they have to be a big part," Velarde said. "Obviously, if we could preserve all wildlife habitat, we'd do it. But we're realists, and that's not going to happen. There are things we just don't have any control of."

Suggested cabinet to face challenges
Despite criticism for the delay in introducing the 21 members of his cabinet the president was able to submit his cabinet nominees at the last moment on Wednesday to Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani. Parliament, which is dominated by conservatives, will have an open session on August 23 for examining the suggested ministers and until August 30 for the vetting process.
Already there are signs that Mr. Ahmedinejad's choices will face resistance from lawmakers. Mr. Larijani was one of the first to criticize the suggested nominees for their lack of experience and political weight: "Ministers should have enough experience and expertise, otherwise a huge amount of country's stamina will waste. A ministry it not a place for tryouts."

One of the big movements happening in photography especially Senior Photography, is that the old school lean up against the tree or the chin on the knee while sitting pose is no longer considered high-end photography in my opinion. Seniors and their parents are looking for something unique and dramatic. Something to capture the emotion and excitement of the time.
This is one of my favorite aspects of creative photography & digital artistry. This is where an athlete, musician, dancer or really anyone for that matter can claim that Hollywood moment....something custom that you can't find anywhere else.

I had just learned a few new techinques that I was eager to try out and this was a perfect shot to do it. Each were individually photographed and then processed and blended togther.
As you can see these guys look as good as they play and it was a big hit.

This was the creative spread to the 2014 Keller Baseball media guide.
Our printed media guides are a huge hit. Once a theme is decided we get to work creating a look and feel that carries over into the entire season.
These boys didn't know what to expect. Especially when we photographed each of them individually in a locker room. Yes each player you see here is individually photographed and painted into the scene we later create.

Weir wants a Scottish boss for the national job
Nick Rodger, Golf Correspondent / / Sport
David Weir today urged SFA chiefs to show their true colours and appoint a Scot as the next manager of the national side.
The former Rangers and Scotland skipper insists the Hampden hierarchy should opt for some home-grown talent as the hunt for the man to replace Craig Levein continues.
Gordon Strachan remains favourite for the post, but gaffers from the continent including Lothar Matthaus and Lars Lagerback have also been touted for the Hampden hotseat.
Weir, who earned 69 caps for his country, played for Scotland during the ill-fated Berti Vogts era.
But he walked away from the international set-up during that period when the German publicly criticised him after the embarrassing 2-2 draw with the Faroe Islands in a European Championship qualifier in 2002.
Weir, who ended his exile in 2004 when Walter Smith took charge, said: "A Scottish appointment is best. It doesn't always work out but in an ideal world you would have a Scotsman managing the national side.
"I played under Berti and then the likes of Alex (McLeish) and Walter. It was different, but then every regime is different.
"I just think it is harder for someone from a different culture to come in and understand the nuances of the Scotland national side.
"We are probably a bit different from other countries because of the way we are and the things that come with the job – somebody who can appreciate that would make the transition that bit easier.
"People think of Scottish managers as being the best in the business. We produce a lot of good managers so I think it's only fair to believe we should have one in charge of the national side."

painting textures - gems by vesnerWatch
©2013-2016 vesner
What program are you using?
This is made even better by the fact that its set a Jem and the Holograms track haha.
It's really amazing and beautiful to watch, but impossible to follow, what a pity...this is really outrageous!
i luv the coloring owo
Is that the theme song for Jem and the Holograms?
It is. It really is.
This is going to be hard on SAI o_o
pretty 0u0
it's truly, truly, truly outrageous
The speedpaint makes this look so easy. . . but then I think about the time involved, not just in this, but in polishing your skill to such a level in the first place, and I can truly appreciate how awesome this (and your other cubes) are. :>
nice tut! ty
Came here for the gem tutorial.
Stayed for the fabulous song.
how do you know where to put the shines and translucencies? the cracks and such?
awesome! would you mind saying hoe you put the youtube video on, though? ive wanted to know how to do it for a while
wow, really great.
btw, how do you did it? the embeded youtube vid...
btw, how do you did it? the embeded youtube vid...
I appreciate the novelty of the song choice, but the video goes by so fast I can hardly register what's going on. Any chance you could upload this one with a longer time lapse so I could get some insight on your process?
I Didn't Know You Could Submit Videos On DA.
unfortunately, I'm not a fan of pink. Like, SERIOUSLY not a fan of pink. But,

well, you just blew my mind... again.
So cool!!! thank you so much for sharing it!!
There is so little favourites, it's ridonkulous! THIS IS TRULY OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Aw man I figured out bout 1-5 steps of this but you really improved the technique for me. Thanks for posting this.
wish this was minecraft
Thank you very much for sharing your amazing skill!
This is really helpful to me!
This is really helpful to me!
Your textures are just so nice to use!
You know what's outrageous?You can draw this without dificulties T__T This is so Amazing!
Your work is incredible I love it.
I think I'll have to try this one. ^^ Very pretty, and while it isn't realistic it certainly is effective.
I have been thinking on starting something like this myself, as a game artist. Seeing you make this is inspiring.
That is seriously something else. <3
Great tutorials, thank you! It would be even better if the cubes you made were avalaible as transparent PNGs. Photomanipulators like me would die for a chance to work with such little miracles!
how did you do this
whats this for?
LOL. When I saw the small picture, I thought "Dafuq? Taric?", and then I opened it, watched the video and Afterwards I looked at your description and saw ... Taric. XD
It's magical.
-eye twitch- I ency your shading skills
You make it look so easy XD
not realistic? haha its awesome !!

Shawn Hargreaves Blog
I was relieved when the comments on my earlier post about backward compatibility agreed with the approach we chose for XNA Game Studio 4.0. Banjobeni summed up the general sentiment:
"If you break it, break it good."
"If you break it, break it good."
The initial motivation for breaking changes in XNA GS 4.0 was the addition of Windows Phone, but this is about more than any one platform. A quick history lesson:
Version 1.0 of the XNA Framework was designed around DirectX 9 on Windows. We had little time to create an enormous API, so had to move fast and decisively. In retrospect I think we did a great job choosing the right places to concentrate our design efforts, and I'm proud of what we built, but there were many areas where we decided "hey, we don't have time to agonize over this detail, so let's just copy whatever native DirectX 9 does, and move on".
When we started work on Xbox 360 in the second half of the 1.0 development schedule, some of these hasty decisions needed to be revised (and some were revised further in our 2.0 release), but many were left alone. Even when things didn't exactly fit the Xbox, they were similar enough that we could squint and say "yeah, that's close enough to get the job done".
When we looked at the new phone platform, we found more things that did not work quite the same as on Windows. Had we tried to squint until they looked the same, we would have ended up with our eyes screwed most of the way shut! I'm a perfectionist, and that just didn't feel good enough.
Ok, let's change our API in the places necessary to make the phone consistent with our other platforms.
But breaking changes are expensive. Having gone three years without any major breaks, we felt this was a good time to introduce an inflection point, cleaning up our act and setting ourselves up for the future. But we also felt it was important that this be a one time thing. Breaking changes every three years may be ok, but every year, or every six months, most certainly would not. If we're going to break it, let's break it good, taking all the pain in one go so we don't have to break again for many years to come.
So, we took the opportunity provided by the phone to also reduce those nagging Windows vs. Xbox inconsistencies.
We also used this opportunity to improve usability, applying our three years of experience to look at which things cause the most confusion for our customers, and tweaking these APIs to reduce the chance of error.
Finally, we gazed deep into our crystal ball in an attempt to predict the future. This failed miserably (sadly, it turns out I am not psychic at all :-) so instead I made some guesses. XNA Game Studio 4.0 sits on top of DirectX 9 on both Windows and Xbox 360, and we have no immediate plans to move to DirectX 10 or 11, but looking years into the future, it seems at least possible we might someday want to do that. DirectX 11 adds some things that are not in DirectX 9, but it also changes and in some cases removes features. Adding features is relatively painless from a compatibility perspective (it's easy to imagine how a third profile could someday sit alongside Reach and HiDef) but taking things away hurts deep (it would suck if any such third profile could not be a strict superset of HiDef, in the same way that HiDef is a superset of Reach). So we looked at what it would take to implement our API using DirectX 11, and made sure we didn't include anything that would make this excessively difficult. I am not promising we will ever support DirectX 11, just saying we did some thinking about this and laid some groundwork so if we ever do want it, we can go there without having to break backward compatibility.
An overarching goal of these API tweaks was that even though we are breaking things, we still want the new API to feel like the XNA Framework you know and love. Some of the details may be different, but existing developer knowledge and design patterns should be easy to move across.
Another goal was to prefer simplicity over complexity. I am a big believer in minimalist design. It's easy to add new things each time we encounter a new problem, but I think more valuable to hone them down to their core essence, trying to find the minimum surface area necessary to communicate between developer and runtime. It makes me happy that the XNA Framework 4.0 API surface is significantly smaller than the 3.1 version.
I'll be writing more about these changes and the reasons behind them over the coming weeks, but here is a quick summary of the more significant breaking changes:
I suspect some of you will have concerns about some of these removals. Don't panic! This article is already too long, and I'm running out of time to write more, but I am confident once I explain the why, how, and wheretofore of these changes, you will agree they are good and sensible. If there are specific things you would like me to write about first, please let me know via the comments below.
+1 for point sprites.
I can replace them in my game without too much effort thanks to a pluggable particle renderer, but I would have 4 vertices instead of 1 for each particle (or 3 with some clever billboarding).
+1 for more info on:
1. Clip Planes
2. Sharing a single depth buffer between render targets.
I'm guessing if the RenderTarget change is an improvement perhaps the GraphicsDevice will no longer require the DepthStencilBuffer to be set to accommodate rendering algorithms that do not read/write to depth buffer...and perhaps the RenderTarget has a constructor that gives the option to not create a DepthBuffer. Thus, a savings in memory. I'm really curious to hear about this.
Requiring all render targets to have an individual depth buffer does seem a bit wasteful of memory.
Eg things like tone mapping, blurring, saved textures for distortion mapping, parts of volumetric fog, SSAO etc etc.
All the types of things the 360 is good at with its insane fill rate... And the extra cost of the buffers is likely to hurt the 360 more with its limited Expensive Graphics Ram(or whatever its called).
Looking at the CTP, there does not appear to be any options to disable creation of depth buffers(Unless specifying Unknown for a format disables creation, which would be counter intuitive:-(
Hopefully this will be improved before release?
Perhaps there is something I dont know about graphics hardware... (eg they almost always create hidden depth buffers along with render targets) or depth buffers are lazy created when the user tries to render with depth buffering enabled(which would be kinda cool, if a little confusing).
I reuse a single depth buffer throughout my deferred renderer.
+1 for hearing about depth buffer reuse. :)
How does the linked render target/depth buffer work with multiple render targets?
Is there no longer any way of changing render target while preserving the current depth buffer? If not, then I'll have to either manually restore depth when sapping to the lighting buffer or accept that occluded lights can no longer be efficiently culled.
Does the emulator use the same garbage collector as the actual phone? How close is the emulators speed to real life?
No more SetxxxConstant and CommitChange,so what's the best way to update effect parameter?
Also curious about the behavior of EffectPass.Apply.
GraphicsDevice will do redundant check when set state object(good), are there other redundant check beside this one?
How close is the emulator to the real phone's also from what I here the cortex-a8 and the scorpion arm cpu's are very differant in speed from each other... which one is the emulator trying to match? and at what clock speed.
Also what about the emulators garbage collector?
I don't expect to answer this right now but if you could in the next few weeks (if you are allowed) that would be great.
> RGBA is the standard color layout in DirectX 10 and 11, and thus also the native layout of most modern graphics hardware.
Out of curiosity, why did XNA originally use BGRA as the default?

Versions of DirectX prior to 10 used BGRA color layout. This is a quirk of older Microsoft platforms (GDI does the same thing) that we're gradually trying to move away from.
This has nothing to do with the topic of this post, but since a couple of people have asked about the emulator, I will answer that anyway.
The emulator is a full functional emulator of the phone behavior, but it does not attempt to emulate performance characteristics. It runs the full phone OS (including the same CLR runtime as the phone) in a virtual machine, but it does not do hardware level timing emulation.
btw. I'm not ignoring all your questions about point sprites, rendertargets, etc, just planning on addressing these in a separate article rather than commenting on each question here.
Keep the questions coming - this is great feedback to make sure my next few articles cover all the things you want to know!
Something that XNA really needs is good floating-point performance on xbox. There's no use of SIMD instructions. Without SIMD, most of the gameplay and physics math runs VERY slow. Have you (plural you) ever thought about that?
I can't wait for using it.
Apparently nothing has been done to improve Matrix operation in the Compact Framework on the XBOX Platform. I still think this is something that should be addressed as Game programming without SSE code is a big limitation.
Hmm, from what I remember about native 360 code performance, the big problem is branching on float compares. Otherwise the standard float unit on the 360 is pretty good.
So I would suggest trying to remove comparisons in your math intensive code. Which would be a lot easier with some VMX extensions to the CLR, so we can use the more sophisticated predication etc. However a single intrinsic style function for fsel(assuming the CLR doesnt generate it) would probably help in this area.
So do the Math.* operations use branchless versions, eg Min,Max etc? I would guess not.
