Marvel Genesis: Blade- Prologue
It was the darkest night and the rain kept dropping in the streets of Vancouver. The city is big much like New York City. I used to remember coming to this lonely place where poor souls have no homes or anything else that they could have. These people might get themselves in trouble these days. But it's not that these homeless people were using drugs all the time. It's that the creatures of the night might bite their necks off.
There was a friend of mine who used to visit Vancouver sometime back in the 1930s. He was a wild animal whom I used to fight back in New Orleans. I didn't even know why would he come there. Maybe, he was wandering around and see where he can continue his new life. But his only life was in Canada and yet I don't see him right now. I heard that he joined some group called Alpha Flight after a brutal encounter with some supernatural creature. But the creature wasn't a vampire though. It was a creature of pure evil that you couldn't even see. If you were wondering how I knew about this event, let's just say I used to help the wild animal on the way. I was kinda like him who tried to control the beast within. That kind of hunger always kept coming to me. It was my worst luck than ever.
I came to Vancouver in order to find someone. That someone killed my mother back when I was a child. A child of hope and destiny. At that time, I never knew my mother a lot. She was killed on the dark streets of London while she was pregnant. She was working as a full-time nurse at the hospital. It was the worst experience that my mother ever had. Because she encountered a doctor who was trying to save her. That doctor was the only person who was there with her. I found out the medical records of my mother's recent death. I realized that the European doctor bit her precious neck. That was the moment I became different. If it wasn't for the doctor, I wouldn't been a dhampir and hunting down my killer and other vampires. I would have been a human who would enjoy a happy life with his own mother. Instead, that precious life was taken away from me. I was lucky enough to be found by a vampire hunter who trained myself for years to come. The training was tough and I had to keep my vampire instincts in check.
The European doctor was named Deacon Frost who is currently leading a powerful organization. This organization was called the Blood Pact where powerful vampires reside. There were noble and have the riches in the world. Yet, I only focus on Dr. Frost who killed my own mother. Sometimes, you have to understand that revenge never ends in life. Because Deacon is not the only vampire I have to kill. Because of Deacon, I was born this way. On the other hand, the vampire hunter named Abraham Whistler was able to train me so that I could defeat the entire vampire menace.
There was a bar located on the end side of the streets. Not only there was one bar. You could see so many pubs around this filthy place. Overworked people used to come here and enjoy their drinks in the long night. But this bar wasn't normal like the other bars around Vancouver city. This bar is where all the nasty creatures enjoy their blood drinks. I can smell and sense them all the way from here. Whether it's far or low miles away, I can still smell the creatures of the night. I walked into the bar and saw the vampires dancing on the floor and one couple was biting their necks each other. It must be a dark pleasure that they're having and tasting each other's blood . At times, humans never heard about vampire $ex these days. It must be the Hollywood movies that the viewers loved to watch in their private rooms. But it's the reality that also counts.
I walked towards the front seat of the dining bar where the vampire bartender was serving drinks. He was cleaning the tabletop and serving cold blood drinks to the hungry visitors. I sat on the seat where I noticed a beautiful woman who was sitting next to me. She was shaking her glass of blood a bit and didn't even take a notice of me. The bartender came by and see if I wanted a drink.
"So pal, what would you like to drink?"
I still stared at the beautiful vampire who was wearing her skirts on. She had the wild scent from her face and I can tell she must have put her perfume on. A black hair and a red shirt. A perfect outfit for a perfect vampire lady. I turned around to face the bartender and told him what I wanted.
"I need red wine, please."
"Red wine? You mean blood."
"No mister. I just want some red wine."
"What are you? A human?"
"You're half-right."
"Wait a minute. Are you the one who's everyone calling Blade? You're that Daywalker guy, aren't you?"
"That's me."
"Yeah. I heard a lot of news about dhampirs these days. I'm not sure if there are so many of them around. But I guess you're the only one. Right?"
"You might be right. But it's possible there could be others like me."
"Oh boy. Talk about a rough night between a human and a vampire. I wouldn't want to go for that one."
"Listen mister. I need that drink."
"Sorry pal. We don't have red wine. We have all kinds of animal blood. Monkey's blood. Cow's blood, Dog's blood and even...Shark's blood. It's pretty sweet."
"You're lying. I can smell the wine from under your desk."
The bartender paused for a moment and realized that I wouldn't be the person to mess with. The bartender sort of gulped and swallowed the rest down on his neck.
"Look pal. These wine are for the richest humans who work their @$$e$ off."
"And yet I'm part-human. So give me what I want."
The woman finally spoke as she was still enjoying her blood drink. She was still beautiful and smell good as any other woman would be.
"Give him a drink, Bob. I'm sure he wants it badly. Don't you say? Mr..."
"Eric Brooks' the real name. But people just call me, Blade."
"Yes, I heard stories about you."
As the bartender was opening a box stack of red wine bottles, the woman gave myself a stared look. She looked myself in the eye and knew what I had come here for. But she was only looking for some pleasure either from a human or vampire. Or even both for that matter. The bartender finally poured the red wine into a small glass. I took the glass away from the table and drank small amounts of the human drink. I put the glass back on the table and looked at the bartender.
"Thanks, mister."
"Yeah pal. Whatever."
The woman gave herself a smile when the bartender didn't like my presence. He must have hated dhampirs. Who knows? But I'm pretty sure he's pissed when I asked for the red wine. The woman was sort of pale and she took her hand and then placed onto mine. She rubbed my hands a little bit as she started to have some chat with me.
"So...Blade. What brings you here?"
"I came here to look for someone."
"I see. I bet it must be a woman."
"You're quite right, miss. But I'm really looking for a man."
"Oh please. Just call me Veronica."
"Ok, Veronica. Where can I find Deacon Frost?"
As I asked the name, the bartender looked stunned as if he knew about him all along. He suddenly ignored of what I said because he was still afraid of me. The woman didn't move an inch or stayed away from me. She still sat on her seat and acted that she didn't know anything about Deacon Frost.
"Hmmmm. Deacon Frost you say? No, I have never met him."
I didn't know whether she was lying or hiding the real truth from me. It's that her perfume was strong enough to hide the truth about Deacon Frost. I knew from my mind that I would be meeting this woman because there is a slight suspicion involving around her. I had secret tabs from another vampire who knew about the beautiful Veronica. I just pretended that I didn't know her.
"You never met the big man?"
"Nope. I can tell you that he's busy in high places. You know..."
"I get your point, Miss Veronica. I was just making sure if you knew anything about him."
"Why do you want to know?"
"It's none of your business. I just came to talk with him."
The woman laughed and knew that a guy like myself would never have the chance to see Deacon Frost privately. At that point, I knew that she was lying to hide her own back.
"Give me a break, Blade. I don't think you'll ever find him."
"Why not?"
"Like I said. He's a very busy guy."
"It seemes that you know much about him."
"Look. I only heard of his "big name". Ok?"
"Fair enough."
"Hey Blade. How about we go outside for a walk? Maybe, you and I can spend some quality time together. What do you say?"
"Sure, Miss Veronica. Anything you say."
"Just call me, Veronica. Ok?"
We left the bar together while the bartender was staring at us. He must have known that Veronica might get herself in trouble. But the thing is that some people wouldn't want to reveal the truth about the powerful vampire. Yeah, the vampire with the four fangs. Even the crime bosses of New York City calls him that nickname.
Veronica and I went to the side of the streets where homeless people used to stay and slept on their beds. The beautiful vampire placed her hands towards my chest and scrolled down underneath my pants.
"Mmmmm. I never tasted a dhampir before. Maybe, I should suck your blood. How about it?"
As she was licking my neck and rubbing underneath my pants. I stayed calm and didn't feel a thing of what the woman is doing to me. I stayed like a statue and pretending the dirty things that Veronica is doing to my body.
"Come...on, Blade. Don't just stand there. I want you to f*ck my @$$ as hard as you can."
"Listen, Veronica. Don't waste my time. I want to know where Deacon Frost is."
The woman completely igonored my words and still kept touching all over me. She began to bite my neck as I moved away from her.
"Hey! What's the big idea?"
"Where is Deacon Frost, miss?
"I told you, Blade. I have no f*cking idea. And don't ever call me, "Miss."
"I know you're lying about him. Because you used to f*ck with him. Isn't it?"
Veronica stood frozen and knew it was a trap set by the hunter. A hunter like myself who hunts down the creatures of the night. The woman began to attack me while I drew my silver stake from the side of my jacket. I hold her neck and pushed her backwards to the wall. Then I took the silver stake and slammed inside her right hand. I closed her mouth so that nobody could hear her cries of pain. I then let go of my hand away from her red lips.
"Tell me, miss. Where is Deacon Frost?"
"I...I don't know."
"Heh! Look at you. A vampire threatening to kill another. You must be crazy."
"I'm half-vampire, b!tch. Now tell me...where is he?"
"Ok. You want to know. I can only tell you this. F*CK YOU!"
I took another silver stake from the side of the jacket and plunged it inside the left hand of hers. I closed her mouth again as she began to moan her little cries deep within herself. I swept away my hand as usual and begin to think that the woman had enough of my torture.
"Alright. I'll...I'll tell you. There is a man named...Nick Carrey."
"Nick Carrey? Who is he?"
"He's some private detective living in his d@mn small office. He has the answers what you're looking for."
"I see. Then you never met the big "Four Fangs?"
"Yeah...Yeah. That's right. I never met the f*cking guy in my entire life. You piece of f*cking hybrid $h!t!"
I took the stakes and rolled them over and the woman still felt the pain. She cried a little bit and this time I didn't close her wasteful mouth. She closed her eyers as she began to tell me something.
"It's...the truth. I never met Deacon Frost. But I did met his assistant. He was handsome though. He gave me the whole time that I needed."
"Are you some kind of street whore?"
"Yeah. You could say that. I was just a normal woman who's looking to buy some company. You know..."
"Who was the guy that you were with? Are you sure it wasn't Deacon?"
"I don't know. They looked quite the same and yet they're white and pale-looking."
"Ok miss. Tell me where I can find Nick Carrey."
"Would it be alright if you just take your f*cking stakes off?"
I took off the silver stakes from both her hands and put them back on the side of the black jacket. She gave myself all the details that I needed. As I turned around, the vampire didn't say anything much. Because she was still caught in her pain of torture.
"Thank for you cooperation, miss."
"Yeah. Get the f*ck out of here."
"One more thing, miss."
"What is it this time?"
"If you meet one of Deacon's assistants again, tell him that I'll be waiting."
I walked out of the side of the streets and completely ignored the woman's face. She was still angry and yet she wasn't killed by me. I sort of felt sorry for her because she was a homeless b!tch who's looking out to have some wild fun. She did told me the whereabouts of Nick Carrey's private office. Now, I have to continue my search for bloodthirsty revenge.
As I was walking the dark streets of Vancouver, a homeless man took a notice of me. He was laying on the ground and hoping to receive money from anybody including myself.
"Sir, could you spare a change? Cough! Cough!"
"I'm sorry, mister. I don't have any cash on me. But I do have something special for you."
I took out a silver stake and gave it to the homeless man. The poor man was confused and was wondering what kind of gift I just gave to him. He looked up into my eyes and started asking me.
"What's this?"
"Keep it. You'll need it just in case."
I walked out where the homeless man was still staring at the silver shiny object. He might wonder what he could do with it. But I'm pretty sure he'll keep that stake along with him all the time. Whenever or whereever he goes out on his own. He may not able to defend himself but times like this would happen to a poor soul. I ventured out into the unknown and find myself in a place of darkness. Ever since I was born a dhampir, I knew it was my destiny to kill vampires. Sometimes, you need reasons to kill them off. But I hadn't kill any of them back at the bar including the beautiful Veronica and the bartender named Bob. Because there were normal people until they were turned into the creatures of the night. If any vampire comes in my way, I'll surely kill them with no hesitation. My real name is Eric Brooks. But people just call me....Blade.
To be continued inMarvel Genesis: Blade, Chapter 1- Daywalker.
What a bloody night that was? Now Blade has to find the private detective who knows the whereabouts of Deacon Frost. Before that happens, let's venture into Blade's childhood past and see what he's all about. Find out in the first chapter of Eric Brooks starting October. The name's Blade, mister.


text: Hi, I'm wondering what the physical meaning there is to taking the volume derivative of the equation pv=k. d/dv [ pv = k ] (v * dp/dv ) + p = 0 I know this has to do with the elasticity of a gas but I am unsure as to why this process of deriving the equation pv = k was taken. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Rudolph Lives! At Least For Now. The perplexing yet bewitching jumble of concrete boxes known as Paul Rudolph's Orange County Government Center in Goshen, New York has been granted a reprieve. The county legislature voted 11 to 10 against a bond issue which would have funded the demolition of the Paul Rudolph designed building. Preservationists and architects have been following the project closely, and have made compelling arguments against the demolition and in favor of renovation. No word yet on whether the county will move to renovate the building, which suffers from leaks as well as damage from tropical storm Irene.
Seagram and Lever to Get a Swanky New Neighbor. L&L Holding Company, owners of a midcentury office tower at 425 Park Avenue, are looking to build a new, high design office tower on that site. It would be the first new office tower built on Park Avenue since the 1980s. Some of the biggest names in architecture are competing for the job: Ateliers Jean Nouvel, Ateliers Christian de Portzamparc, Herzog & de Meuron, Foster & Partners, Zaha Hadid Architects, OMA, Maki and Associates, KPF, Richard Meier and Partners, Rogers Sirk Harbour + Partners, and Renzo Piano Building Workshop. Vishaan Chakrabarti, director of the center for urban real estate at Columbia, is running the competition for L&L. "This competition of ideas is the first step in the process of realizing a globally advanced, bespoke skyscraper that will both complement Park Avenue's existing architectural treasures and make its own indelible mark in the world's most timeless office corridor," he said in a statement.
Todd and Billie to Get Arty for the Big Green. Expect to be hear a lot about Todd Williams and Billie Tsien in the weeks and months to come. First up, their much anticipated (and highly controversial) new building for the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, which opens imminently. Second, the fate of their building for the American Folk Art Museum (now owned by MoMA) hangs in the balance, with Jean Nouvel's tower looming on the horizon. Third comes the announcement that the pair will renovate and expand the Hood Art Museum at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. The project will include new and renovated galleries for Darmouth's art collection, which dates to 1772.
Menil Drawing Institute Shortlist Announced. The Menil Collection in Houston, Texas has announced a shortlist for the new Menil Drawing Institute, which includes David Chipperfield Architects, Johnston Marklee, Tatiana Bilbao/mx.a, and SANAA. The building will be the largest freestanding space devoted to drawings. The competitors certainly have a high bar to meet. Renzo Piano's building for the Menil collection is considered one of the best places to view art in the country. "In this year, when we observe the 25th anniversary of our great museum building by Renzo Piano, we are pleased to begin realizing our vision for the future by selecting the next architect to design a major building for the Menil campus," said Josef Helfenstein, director of the collection, in a statement. "By taking on the challenge of designing MDI—the only facility of its kind—the architect will create a home for our largest, fastest-growing but most delicate collection of artworks, while also providing an important new focal point for the entire campus."
MIT Launches New Multidisciplinary Initiative. With a $1.5 million Mellon Foundation grant in hand, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is establishing a Center for Art, Science and Technology (CAST), which will advance integrated arts education in higher learning. The proposal was co-sponsored by the associate provost and the deans of the schools of Architecture and Planning and Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. The grant will provide funds for faculty, researchers, and curators to develop multidisciplinary programs that traverse art, science, and technology. It will also support the University's Visiting Artists program. "MIT has a great legacy in this domain," Architecture Dean Adele Naude Santos said in a statement. "MIT created the first architecture program in the country and is today a leader in new forms of design and digital fabrication; the Center for Advanced Visual Studies, founded by György Kepes in 1967, established a model for collaborations among artists, scientists and engineers; and the Media Lab is internationally renowned for pioneering efforts in the fields of design, media arts and electronic music."
BMW Guggenheim Lab to Park in Berlin After All. Facing the possibility of anti-gentrification protests, the Guggenheim decided to cancel plans to bring the BMW Guggenheim Lab to the city's Kreuzberg district. They have decided to bring the lab to the already gentrified Prenzlauer Berg instead, specifically the Pfefferberg cultural center, according to Spiegel online. "The decision to relocate the Lab was not an easy one, but we are very pleased to have so quickly confirmed such a suitable alternative and to continue the urgent and important discussions we have begun about cities, and specifically about Berlin, at the Pfefferberg site," Richard Armstrong, director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, said in a statement. Time will tell if the move will mollify critics and protesters.
Breaking> Goldberger Departing New Yorker, Bound for Vanity Fair

Rumors have been circulating that Paul Goldberger was leaving his prized perch as architecture critic at the New Yorker. It appears he's been given a golden parachute from Condé Nast in the form of a contributing editor title at Vanity Fair, where he will cover architecture and design. AN has obtained an undated press release from that magazine confirming the move. "This is an appointment that thrills me profoundly," Graydon Carter, editor in chief of Vanity Fair, said in a statement. "Paul is about as gifted a commentator on architecture, urban planning, and design as anyone you're going to find these days—in other words, he's just a brilliant writer."
Parking Increasingly Passé in Downtown Chicago Towers. Crain's has an encouraging report on the drop in demand for parking spaces in Chicago's downtown residential buildings. At Lakeshore East, which includes Studio Gang's Aqua tower, only 40% of renters are leasing parking spaces. The developers had forecast a 55% demand. As a result many buildings are dropping the price for spaces. Other factors including buildings with on-site car sharing and secure bicycle storage areas are also likely cutting demand for parking spaces. As a result, some developers are rethinking how much parking to include in new projects, which would mean smaller podiums and more active street life, something any city would want.
Defending Gehry's Take on Ike. In the perennial battle of rads versus trads, Penn professor and former Slate architecture critic Witold Rybczynski often sides with the trads. So it was a bit of a surprise to see Rybczynski take to the op-ed page of the New York Times in defense of Frank Genry's design for the Eisenhower memorial. Genry's design has numerous critics including two of Eisenhower's granddaughters, as well as the usual suspects who think classicism is the only appropriate approach to everything really, especially if it involves patriotism, presidents, or Washington D.C. Rybczynski calls Gehry "our finest living architect" and worries that a design-by-committee approach will undermine the quality of the memorial. Or as Eisenhower might have said, beware of the classicist/reactionary complex.
Minnesotans Driving Less, Taking Transit a lot More. Nationally the number of Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) has been declining in recent years. Transit ridership has also held steady or been climbing slightly. Minnesota seems to be a dramatic example of this new transportation reality, according to figures from the Minnesota Department of Transportation as reported on Minnpost.com. They cite a 40% increase in transit ridership from 2004 to 2011, and a small but significant decline in VMTs 2011 from their 2007 peak. Road congestion has also been easing slightly. High gas prices, an increasing preference for walkable neighborhoods, and teenagers postponing getting their licenses are all cited as contributing factors. It all adds up to further evidence that political rhetoric around gas prices, transportation, and energy policy needs to catch up to the reality on the ground.
Facing Threats BMW Guggenheim Lab Swerves Away from Berlin. While the commercialization of museums raises eyebrows in some circles in America, in Germany such criticism is much more forceful and threatening. Activist groups have derailed the planned May 24th opening in Berlin of the BMW Guggenheim lab, according to Bloomberg News. They argued that the mobile lab–which debuted in New York and is traveling the globe, all bankrolled by the German luxury carmaker–would accelerate the gentrification of the Kreuzberg district. The Guggenheim has faced criticism for its sponsors and activities many times before, so this episode is not likely to spur much institutional reflection. According to the report, the Museum is currently shopping for a new host city.
More Eyes on Rudolph's Threatened Orange County Government Center. Recently AN put a spotlight on Rudolph's threatened Orange County Government Center, through photos and reporting, and many others are coming to defense of this challenging and bewitching building. The World Monuments Fund declared the building a culturally significant site, and a local group is protesting the planned demolition. Bloomberg's James S. Russell just visited, declaring it, "insistently attention-grabbing in photos, the building reveals a surprising delicacy in person. Rudolph's complicated shape-making domesticates the building's institutional scale." Will prominent architects from around the country rally to around Rudolph's singular creation? Time is running out.

For more than thirty years, Jonathan Raban has written with infectious fascination about people and places in transition or on the margins, about journeys undertaken and destinations never quite reached, and, as an Englishman transplanted in Seattle, about what it means to feel rooted in America. Spanning two decades, Driving Home charts a course through the Pacific Northwest, American history, and current events as witnessed by "a super-sensitive, all-seeing eye. Raban spots things we might otherwise miss; he calls up the apt metaphors that transform things into phenomena. He is one of our most gifted observers" (Newsday). Stops en route include a Missoula bar, a Tea Party convention in Nashville hosted by Sarah Palin, the Mississippi in full flood, a trip to Hawaii with his daughter, a steelhead river in the Cascades, and the hidden corners of his adopted hometown, Seattle. He deftly explores public and personal spaces, poetry and politics, geography and catastrophe, art and economy, and the shifts in various arenas that define our society. Whether the topic is Robert Lowell or Barack Obama, or how various painters, explorers, and homesteaders have engaged with our mythical and actual landscape, he has an outsider's eye for the absurd, and his tone is intimate, never nostalgic, and always fresh. Frank, witty, and provocative, Driving Home is part essay collection, part diary—and irresistibly insightful about America's character, contradictions, and idiosyncrasies.

Slow Wine For Slow Living
Aug. 19 2010 on Air
*You will leave the NHK website.
The town of Katsunuma in Japan's Yamanashi prefecture is known for its delicious grapes. The area produced the first wine in Japan over 130 years ago and from then on adopted
wine-making as its local industry. Senior citizens here have formed a small cooperative to produce wine for themselves using traditional methods that prove to be good for the community and environment.

It is customary for educators to initiate their new fads in poorer schools where they feel they have a better chance to con parents and students into believing that they are getting the most modern improvements in education. The Dwight Morrow classrooms are ridiculously labeled "Harvard, Yale and Rutgers." Dwight Morrow is a high school with low test scores and racial tensions. Three-quarters of the student body is black or Hispanic, and 60 percent qualify for free or reduced lunches.
This "choose major" fad seems to have spread nationwide under the radar without prior publicity. Apparently, hundreds of high schools now require students to specialize, but most are not so rigid as to require a major.
Florida requires every ninth-grader to major in one of some 400 state-approved subjects ranging from world cultures to fashion design. South Carolina requires students to designate one of 16 career clusters from agriculture to architecture.
Mississippi has a pilot program to have ninth-graders choose one of seven career paths from construction to technology.
Like any new school fad, "choose major" of course requires more taxpayer funding. The New Jersey district has hired five new teachers, and set up advisory boards for each track that include performing artists, doctors, and lawyers.
Public schools should teach all first-graders to read by the time-tested phonics system, and teach all schoolchildren to know and use the fundamentals of arithmetic by the end of the third grade. This would end the shocking epidemic of illiteracy that now permits students to get into high school and even graduate without being able to read, write or calculate change at the grocery store.
Choosing a major won't solve the problem of high school dropouts who can't read, write, add, subtract, multiply, or divide. Public schools will remain a national embarrassment unless and until the fundamentals are taught in elementary classes.

73. Picture of Brain
The brain is the complex organ responsible for processing sensory information (sound, touch, taste, sight, and smell). The brain controls voluntary and involuntary movements. Signals from the brain tell muscles to contract. Input from the brain controls the function of other organs in the body. Different areas of the brain are responsible for specialized functions.
The brain is connected to the spinal cord, the part of the nervous system that relays messages from the brain to the rest of the body. The spinal cord also transmits information back to the brain. The brain and spinal cord are connected via the brainstem, the area of the brain that controls heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and swallowing. The cerebellum at the back of the brain coordinates fine movements and helps maintain balance. The cerebrum, or cortex, is the site of higher brain functions like thought and action. The cerebrum is comprised of several different regions, or lobes.
The frontal lobe behind the forehead is responsible for personality, motor skills, and problem solving. The occipital lobe sits at the back of the brain. It is responsible for processing visual input. The function of the parietal lobe at the top and back of the brain is to process and integrate sensory information. The temporal lobes on the sides of the brain are involved in memory and processing language. The entire brain is surrounded by membranes called the meninges.

CollabraCam offers real-time, multi-camera shooting on iOS
Apptopus has released CollabraCam, an app that allows real-time, multi-camera video production—using only iOS devices.
Up to four iPhone-wielding cinematographers on the same local Wi-Fi network can shoot video at the same time, while a fifth crewmember monitors all four cameras from another iPhone.
CollabraCam allows the director to not only switch between shots, but also to send silent alerts to individual iPhones—placing the camera operators on standby, requesting a tighter shot, or providing other direction. In addition to recording video on each iPhone directly, the app also syncs the video wirelessly to the director's device.
While the camera operators themselves obviously need either the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, or the latest generation iPod touch (those being the only current iOS devices with video camera support), the director can use a camera-less iOS device, if necessary.
CollabraCam costs $10 and requires iOS 4 or later.

Republican Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) blasted President Obama for not doing more to resolve the standoff in Washington over extending a payroll tax cut.
Speaking on CNN's "American Morning" on Thursday, McCain said the deadlock over extending the tax holiday "requires presidential leadership."
He said "previous presidents I've served under … would be calling them over to the White House, looking them in the eye and telling them, 'We need to fix this,' " said McCain.
Obama who has seen his poll numbers rise during the debate over the payroll tax, went on an afternoon Christmas shopping trip Wednesday, purchasing gifts for his family and speaking with voters.
Earlier in the day, Obama had called House Speaker John Boehner and urged him to pass a Senate bill that would extend the payroll tax cut for two months.
McCain suggested on Thursday that the House Republicans take up the Senate bill and "pass the exact same thing in the House but make it a year instead of two months. We could do that," said McCain.
McCain has been a strong critic of the House GOP stance. "Republicans are losing this fight. We need to get back on track," he reiterated.
Lawmakers are deadlocked over extending the tax cut, which will expire at the end of the year.
Senators overwhelmingly passed a two-month extension on Saturday, but House Republicans rejected the bill and moved to call a conference committee to reconcile the Senate bill with a yearlong extension passed earlier by the House.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) have said they will not name conferees.
The House GOP has been battered by harsh criticism over its stance from Democrats who say Republicans will take the blame for hitting 160 million Americans with a tax rise in the new year.
The conservative Wall Street Journal editorial board on Wednesday lambasted House Republicans, saying they had "thoroughly botched" the payroll tax debate.
McCain also criticized the president's decision to withdraw all American troops from Iraq, after reports said a series of bomb explosions in Baghdad had killed at least 63 people Thursday.
McCain who has previously warned about the security threat to Iraq if American troops are gone, said that "unfortunately what I anticipated is taking place."
He said that the president's claim that the U.S. has "left a stable and democratic Iraq" was just "part of his campaigning."
McCain called Obama's statements on Iraq "slick propaganda" and said the recent violence showed that the U.S. withdrawal was a mistake.

Or προβλεματυργια in the original. A new word !? No, I found it in an old Greek-German dictionary published around 1870... It was extracted from some text (just one source quoted), and it's meaning was somewhat obscure: From the context, it would, possibly, refer to ways of organize fortresses... - The Greek "προβλεμα" is well known , though, and it's meaning is very clear ...

thawing robot speed paint by ShinoShoe26Watch
©2012-2016 ShinoShoe26
a quick pic of a robot design, had the idea to try and make him look like he is thawing out of frozen environtment not sure if i did that well or not. about 3 hours in photoshop. the next thing i draw is goint to be serious big pic that might take me a while
this is great, love the colours and mood
Whooo a samurai rock guitarrist who plays on a fire throwing guitar, has two trees growing out of his head and whos coolness lets everything around freeze!! epic xD
Great, but kind of phallic.
Personally, I'd have tried putting some more ice around his feet. Great job with the steam, though. Overall, a good pic.
Very cool design!
Wow! Awesome looking armor! Very well done indeed!
the way he's holding the gun makes it look like a guitar which is pretty awesome looking. Nice work!

Christine Brenneman had been on the job just two weeks when, she alleged, her supervisor, David Ryburn, started to make unwanted sexual advances toward her at a Famous Dave's restaurant in West Des Moines, Iowa.
Ryburn began by winking at his new assistant manager and blew kisses to her every day. Four weeks after Brenneman's arrival in February 2003, he started to slap her buttocks. Ryburn also allegedly made off-color and improper remarks: He offered to review Brenneman's job performance at her home and invited her to go over his "expectations" after hours. When an envelope he gave her turned out to be too small, he suggested she "pretend it was a condom and slip it on real soft."
She said she felt emotionally let down by the company. One week after HR began looking into her complaint, Brenneman resigned. And despite several subsequent invitations from Famous Dave's asking her to return, a written apology from Ryburn and the company's written pledge it had instructed him to refrain from inappropriate conduct, Brenneman refused to reconsider.
Sunken Claims
Those actions sunk her Title VII claim. "Brenneman was not constructively discharged," wrote Justices Duane Benton, Kermit Bye and Bobby Shepherd. "A reasonable person in her position would not have found the working conditions so intolerable that she was compelled to resign. Brenneman asserts she thought the investigation was complete and no action would be taken against Ryburn. This is, however, contrary to her obligation not to assume the worst and not to jump to conclusions too quickly."
The 8th Circuit held that Famous Dave's didn't retaliate against Brenneman, but did take reasonable care to prevent, and promptly correct, any sexual harassment that might have occurred.

The largest problem that she's had is a lack of money. The loan that she is applying for is to buy ingredients for the sale of artisanal cuchuflis [rolled waffles filled with dulce de leche]. She is very hopeful that the sale of cuchuflis will go very well. What she has liked most about working with Fondo Esperanza is the fact that she can share with people that have her same interests and that have a lot of ambition to get ahead.

Thanks to its numerous branches, Fondo Esperanza is present nationwide and offers loans to micro-entrepreneurs in a country known for its limited microfinance industry. This Kiva loan enables entrepreneurs to maintain their current businesses in areas where Fondo Esperanza is the only available and accessible financial institution.
About Fondo EsperanzaFondo Esperanza (FE) is a private non-profit organization that supports entrepreneurship by providing micro-credit and training to people living in poverty in well over 100 cities throughout Chile. By providing these services, FE aims to improve the living conditions of the entrepreneurs and their families. In 2010, FE provided loans to more than 41,000 entrepreneurs.

Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

I don't know if it's just me, but the formula dries really slow.
Even though it gives really intense colour, the quality of the formula and packaging are not as good. For instance, it takes forever for the liquid to dry & it flake & fades within a few hours. Also, the brush tube always gets sucked up in the package, so when i finally pull it out, the liquid will be spread all over my table.
The brush tip though, is really good because it provides fine line.
I would not purchase this again overall.

I bought this looking for a dupe of my Maybelline Line Stiletto that would crack less, and this definitely does the trick. It's got the felt tip that is very easy to work with, and it has excellent staying power and won't crumble/dry out like my Revlon stuff sometimes did. Awesome eyeliner, perfect for a cat eye.

I got this in Black Mica because that's all that was left other than brown. I tried it out and the pigmentation is decent. Not bad. I wanted to get Carbon Black but my local Walgreens was sold out. Sorta Easy to handle.

I bought this because it was the cheapest liquid eyeliner in the drugstore and I didn't want to pay a lot because I wasn't sure if I would even like liquid eyeliner! At first I thought it was difficult to apply but that was due to the fact I wasn't used to the felt tip. It's a pretty long felt tip, for some reason I thought I would be able to use it like a marker but nope! I got the hang of it by my third application though. It's a lovely opaque black and look quite dramatic. But it has a crazy tendency to crack! If I apply in the morning, by mid afternoon when I get home I have to reapply. My eyes can sometimes get a bit watery too and it wipes off too easily for my liking. As well, it's so richly pigmented that when I take it off I have to use my makeup remover multiple times, or I end up with raccoon eyes! I'll use it up but once it's empty, I'm going to invest in better quality. It was a good introduction to liquid eyeliner though.

Lineur Intense (felt tip) was my first ever liquid eyeliner and still one of my favorites today. Application is ridiculously easy and I don't ever have to worry about smudging. It stays put on my oily lids for the entire day. I usually get the Black Mica color, which I'm pretty sure isn't as intense as Carbon Black, but it's got some very subtle shimmer in it, which I like. The range of color options is kind of limited, but I'm not too fussed about that. Overall, it's a reliable, quality product.

Everyone know that L'Oreal owns Lancome and products are made and made & distributed from the same factories/warehouses, right? I used Lineur Intense on one eye and Artliner on the other eye.They both looked the same at 6AM and exactly the same at 10PM. I see no need to spend the extra $ on the Lancome product.
They both faded a bit but for 16 hrs. I think they both performed very well. I used these liners to tighline my upper lid. I trimmed a bit of the length off of the felt liner of the L'oreal product to get better control-- in doing this it better resembled the line made by the Lancome liner.

This review is for the felt tip. I love this eyeliner. It's the eyeliner I use every single day. It goes on super black and it's amazing. It doesn't smear at all, no raccoon eyes. The only con that it fades after a couple of hours. It turns into a dark grayish color. If it was waterproof, it would definitely be my HG eyeliner.

Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure

There are two products and you shouldn't confuse them. One is the felt tip and the other is the brush tip. The felt tip is by far superior to the brush tip and the two cannot be compared in use and quality. My review is for the felt tip. I always purchase this in black and it is absolutely my HG liquid eyeliner. You cannot make a mistake with this because the felt tip is idiot proof. I do not like Loreal products as I think the quality usually stinks, but this is one product that they got 100% right! The liner stays on all day and easily removes at night. The colour is a true black and doesn't change during the day. Love it!

It stung my eyes like crazy when I applied it. It cracks like crazy. What I love is how opaque it is super super black !!!!

I used to use liquid eyeliner for years but stopped for the last year because I discovered gel and powder liners. I decided to go back this year because the cat eye has been growing on me and I just couldn't achieve certain looks with gel or powder that I used to do with liquid e/l. I got Lancome Artliner but couldn't justify spending $29 on liquid e/l bc it dries out so quickly so I returned it after I did some research to find out the L'oreal Lineur Intense and Maybelline Stiletto e/l have the same applicator I loved from the Artliner. Now, these two e/l are my go-to if I got an extra minute to spare. The pigmentation in the Maybelline is slightly less than this L'oreal e/l but color pay offs are still very impressive, barely less than what Artliner showed IMO. Oh yeah, and staying power for the Maybelline, L'oreal, and Lancome e/l are all the SAME. I did a test of all 3, which resulted in all 3 staying from 8am to 8pm - on my hooded eyes and through a tough workout session too! Washing off is also easy with my Neutrogena eye make up remover with just a couple of swipes.

Foal by Brysmith Diablo Spirit, excellent temperament dark dun stallion with very good Welsh cob action which he is passing on to his foals.
Dam was running with the stallion for 2 years and no foal, so in the spring we brought her in and trained her to ride, going out in company, then in the Autumn started to train her to drive when noticed she was putting on weight and this Jan produced Grayswood Diplomat, so not worked for a while but feel will come back to it as very good in her training.

Charlie is a 14.3hh coloured traditional cob 4 year old ride and drive gelding. This cob is a real gentleman in out of the stable, has great manners, loads on wagon and will allow you to do anything in the stable with him.
He is great with other horses. Will hack out alone and has a snaffle mouth, he very happily and will ride in company and is still a super safe cob that is bombproof in heavy traffic, buses, wagons, etc... He is more of a plod cob that will gain anyone's confidence as a happy hacker.
He was definitely a driving horse in his previous home, could be seen driven if wanted. He is a lovely cob that can be seen doing either job but please no timewasters for this genuine cob. This cob is so hard too find and is as described.

Very sad sale of my 14.3hh traditional show cob mare, Daz is 4 years old and has been recently broken but requires bringing on, this will be no problem for anybody as this little mare is an absolute saint, you can do absolutely anything with her and she will give her best.

14.3hh 7 year old mare, very easy to do on the ground and good with children but not a novice ride due to low mileage and forward going. We brought Hillie from the SD stud 3 years ago and in the time we have had her she has been to a handful of shows qualifying for several championships, been on beach rides, accompanied other horses cross country schooling and bred a top quality foal.
She lives in or out, is good to catch, farrier, vet, bath, clip, load but will only travel with company. She has popped a small (50cms) course of jumps recently and a clear round event and enjoys hacking (alone or in company) but hates schooling!
Passported, vaccinated and recently had teeth checked. This is a very sad sale but nervous rider now wants to do more and feels she is not suitable for this.

Matty Boy is a definite show prospect. This colt has a Dam that's medalled, a Sire that's medalled and a full sister who has been in the ribbons all season.
The sire is by Trevallion Harry and you can see this in his upright and extending movement. He has a beautiful head and ear and is also a very nice horse. Very easy going manner in the stable, but snorts as soon as he gets outside.
He has 2 stallions in his pedigree that can vary in the height that they throw so might end up 14.2hh ish but could also end up 15.1hh + Its a job to tell, but size isn't everything and you will have fun with this one.

He has been regularly wormed and handled and is microchipped and passported with WPCS. He is priced to sell and somebody could have a lot of fun with him in the youngstock shows before he started work. A deposit secures until weaning (Mid October).
Price: £500 ONO

Beswick is a 14.3hh ride and drive 6 year old lightweight cob mare. She has been broken to drive and she loves it. She is a pretty mare that tries her best to please.
She has been backed and didn't blink an eyelid although she is green under saddle as we have done a lot more driving with her. She is easy to do in all ways.
A good, kind, honest mare she is good to box, shoe, lives in or out. She would make a lovely show type. I don't have the time to give her and love she deserves. Please contact me for further information.

Once upon a time I thought the best way to protect my children from making the same stupid mistakes I made when I was young was to keep my stupid mistakes hidden from them.
Then Psalm 78 blew my plan to smithereens.
It has 72 verses devoted to how parents and grandparents are supposed to relive more than just the "glory days" of our past. We are supposed to use our slip-ups to highlight God's glory instead. The underlying assumption of Psalm 78 is that God is the Lord of our past as well as the Sovereign over our children's futures. If we keep our pasts hidden away from curious eyes then our children miss out on hearing all the ways the Lord brought glory to his name in spite of our failures.
Psalm 78 is a fantastic blueprint for turning our worst blunders into our best lessons.
