In Elena Kagan's confirmation hearings, conservative senators have made two things clear: their disdain for "liberal activist" judges and their fear she will be one.
What the Republicans want are judges who will apply the Constitution according to the original meaning as understood by the framers. They believe that when the Constitution gives no explicit guidance, judges must defer to the democratic branches of government.
What Republicans oppose, as Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions put it, are judges who use "their power to redefine the meaning of our Constitution and have the result of advancing that judge's preferred social policies."
When conservatives talk about judicial activism, they have in mind a variety of Supreme Court decisions -- legalizing abortion, hindering the death penalty, allowing flag-burning and preventing officially sponsored prayer in public schools. All these, they believe, ignored the plain words or the original meaning of the text.
But there is another decision that fits any definition of a liberal, activist approach. It came in a 2003 case, Lawrence v. Texas, involving two men who were prosecuted after being caught by police having sex in a private bedroom.
In a 1986 challenge to sodomy laws, the Supreme Court derided the notion that the Constitution protects "a fundamental right upon homosexuals to engage in sodomy." But this time, it ruled such statutes unconstitutional.
How come? Because the government may not regulate private, consensual, noncommercial sex among adults, even gay ones. "Their right to liberty under the Due Process Clause gives them the full right to engage in their conduct without intervention of the government," wrote Justice Anthony Kennedy.
At the time, the outcome was controversial. Conservative commentator David Frum said it would have been "unimaginable to the Constitution's authors." The conservative Family Research Council lamented that "judicial activists have used their fertile imagination to create rights that simply don't exist in the Constitution," and "imposed their own moral judgments in place of state legislatures."
The decision bore the telltale signs of liberal activism: It did not rest on any clear provision of the Constitution. It did not match up with the laws in effect at the time of the nation's founding. It discarded well-established precedents. And it created a social policy strongly favored by liberals.
But after the initial denunciations, something odd happened: The decision vanished from public debate.

Jeremy Giefer charged with domestic assault before Pawlenty pardon [UPDATE]
New details of Jeremy Giefer's lifetime of legal problems make it harder than ever to understand how he got his record cleared by the Board of Pardons.
The red flags were already abundant: Giefer, a confessed and convicted sex offender, told the Board he wanted his record wiped to clear the way for a childcare center in his home.
The Board of Pardons also knew that Giefer had recently pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct for picking a fight with a cop. And they should have known that he had recently helped convince a police officer to handcuff a drunk woman and threaten her with a citation if she didn't show Giefer and others her breasts.
But it turns out that's the least of it. Court records make clear that Giefer had actually been charged with domestic assault and malicious punishment of a child just five years before the Pardon board granted his pardon request and cleared his record.
A passage from Jeremy Giefer's 2003 domestic abuse file.
One March night in 2003, Giefer hit one of his children so hard that it left a mark the next day that prompted an investigation by the Blue Earth County Sheriff's Department. Giefer confessed to delivering the blow, according to the Sheriff's complaint:
"Mr. Giefer stated that he had slapped [the child] with an open hand on the face because his son would not go to bed after being told three times to do so."
Between the confession and the child's "three abrasions on the left side of his face around his temple area," the Sheriff's department had the goods on Giefer.
But Giefer was able to get the charges of domestic assault and malicious punishment of a child dismissed on condition that he go a year without racking up any similar offenses.
The incident doesn't show up in an online search of Giefer's criminal record, but the records are available to anyone who asks for them at Blue Earth County Court, and would have been known to the Board of Pardons if they had scratched the surface of Giefer's court history before clearing his record.
Will Purvis's 2007 letter in support of Giefer's pardon.
One person who unquestionably knew about Giefer's child-beating incident was Will Purvis, a Blue Earth County Commissioner who wrote a letter in support of Giefer's pardon application in 2007. "I have seen him interact with his wife and children and he is a good husband and parent," Purvis told the board.
Will Purvis signed the domestic assault complaint against Giefer two years before writing in support of his pardon.
But just two years earlier, Purvis signed his name to a very different kind of document: acting in his capacity then as a deputy with the Sheriff's department, Purvis was the approving supervisor in the initial incident report. He also signed the complaint when Giefer was charged.
Why did Purvis endorse Giefer's pardon request two years after overseeing his prosecution for beating a seven-year-old? "This was a situation inside the family," Purvis told City Pages today.
"He said 'Yes, I did it, and it was wrong, and I want to change my behavior,' and in my mind that's what he was trying to do. He looked like a good candidate [for a pardon] at the time, and I guess I was deceived about that."
Assistant Blue Earth County Attorney Chris Rovney spoke after Giefer's hearing yesterday.
Sally Jo Sorensen
Giefer was back in court yesterday for his most recent charges: serially sexually abusing his young daughter over a span of seven years before and after he received his pardon. Deputy Blue Earth County Attorney Chris Rovney asked to add a dozen new felony charges related to Giefer's alleged abuse of his daughter.
Rovney also sought a DNA sample from Giefer to try to match against human protein samples found in places where the alleged victim says she had sex with Giefer. Giefer's lawyer, Robert Docherty, resisted, arguing that DNA evidence is easily contaminated and that in any case Giefer's DNA was likely to be all over his own house, since he lives there.
Judge Bradley Walker indicated that he was inclined to agree to the request for a DNA sample, but said he wants more time to consider it and the revised charges against Giefer.

A city project stopped in mid-stream by a citizen group through litigation is moving forward once more, but not without dissension. On a 3-2 vote, the Placerville City Council Oct. 22 approved an agreement with PMC to provide a new environmental impact report for the Clay Street at Main Street/Cedar Ravine Realignment and Clay Street Bridge Replacement Project.
The Clay Street at Main Street/Cedar Ravine Realignment and Clay Street Bridge Replacement Project was approved by Placerville City Council on Feb. 8, 2011. The project proposes to mitigate traffic congestion on Main Street by realigning Clay Street with Cedar Ravine, through part of the Ivy House parking lot, adding a roundabout where Main Street, Clay Street and Cedar Ravine come together to aid the flow of traffic and replacing the narrow Clay Street bridge with a wider version that can withstand a 100-year flood. Improvements to Clay Street and the Clay Street Bridge was a condition of approval for the Cottonwood Development Project of the 1990s.
Friends of Historic Hangtown, opponents of the project, particularly of the roundabout, filed a court action to prevent the project from continuing, declaring the project's EIR to be inadequate. A Superior Court decision on Feb. 14, 2012. ruled in favor of the Friends and ordered the city to refrain from further approval of the project unless and until an adequate EIR was prepared in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act. The court decision directed specific potential impacts that were to be evaluated in any future EIR, including impacts of traffic, parking, urban decay, biological cultural resources, toxic, aesthetic, growth-inducing and inconsistency with area plans and policies.
At an April 30 Neighborhood Chat meeting, going ahead with the project was the topic. Four options were discussed: doing nothing at all about the growing congestion at the intersection, realignment with stop signs, realignment with a signalized intersection or realignment with a roundabout. At the May 14 City Council meeting, council directed staff to proceed with the design phase of the project with a new EIR to thoroughly analyze each of the four options after a motion to delete the roundabout option failed.
At the Oct. 22 meeting, the council reviewed a consulting services agreement with PMC to prepare a new EIR for the project, including an updated traffic study, a mitigation monitoring and reporting program, public review and multiple public outreach meetings during the EIR process. The proposed cost of the work entailed in the agreement is $155,994, which is to be paid for from $4.5 million in appropriated funding from the Highway Bridge Program, Congestion Management Air Quality, the Regional Surface Transportation Program and Traffic Impact Mitigation Fund.
"We need more concrete data in order to make an informed decision… a decision that is based on what is right and best for the city," said Mayor Wendy Thomas. "To do that, we need to look at all the options."
In the proposed agreement with PMC, three of the options were to be explored with the EIR, the fourth option of doing nothing was not included. Sixteen members of the audience spoke about the proposed EIR, some protesting the expenditure and about half of the speakers asking to put the question on the ballot so that the public could vote. Two audience members who live near Clay Street advocated going ahead with the EIR process in order to garner facts on all of the options, while other speakers said doing the EIR was "putting the cart before the horse."
According to the court mandate, an EIR must be done before the project can continue, said Community Development Director Pierre Rivas.
The City Council was divided in their opinions as well. Vice mayor Carl Hagen said he would be willing to look at all four options to determine what could be done to improve Clay Street for vehicular, pedestrian and cyclist traffic."Currently that intersection is rated at a level 'F.' The EIR will address all the options," said Hagen.
"I have a concern that the high-tech visualization is only for the roundabout (in the PMC agreement)…it feels like the roundabout option is being crammed down the public's throat and I won't be a part of it," said Councilwoman Trisha Wilkins.
"I'm sick of being accused that I'm doing this to benefit some developer," said Councilwoman Patty Borelli. "I know of no project going up anywhere around there and that corner is a mess. I want to see that corner improved and made safe. I don't see what is wrong with making improvements and I don't think it is a waste of money.
Councilwoman Carol Patton said she supported the roundabout when she was on the Planning Commission when the Cottonwood Project came about. "The insinuation that this project is being done to benefit a developer is an insult not only to this council but to the past council as well…This is a fair project that will benefit the community and I would like a respectful dialogue to discuss the options."
Mayor Thomas said, "I respectfully challenge council member Wilkins' opinion that the council has already decided on the roundabout option. That is absolutely false. We are mandated to improve the Clay Street Bridge and Clay Street. I favor the realignment, I favor improving the Farmer's Market parking lot…I have no faith that we can have a productive dialog if the roundabout is on the table. I think it could be a beautiful part of the project, but I stand by my actions on May 14 and think we should take the roundabout option out."
The resolution to approve the agreement with PMC was amended to include additional public input meetings during the design phase and EIR process. The 3-2 vote passed with Thomas and Wilkins voting no and Patton, Borelli and Hagen voting yes.

I yelled at my baby today. Twice. Like, "Sttttooooooop crrrrryyyyying!!!!!" kind of thing. But like a real yell. He obviously didn't stop and then I just wanted to run away and cry.
Some background: my husband went to Israel to visit his son, so I went to NY to visit family friends for six days. Little is going through major separation anxiety and I basically held him the entire time because I didn't want to make everyone listen to my screaming kid. Naps were nonexistent because he won't nap in a pack n' play, so that added to the fun.
I got home Wednesday but my husband doesn't get home until Sunday. My babysitter left me unexpectedly two weeks ago. So it's just Little and me. And he's crying/cranky/fussing non stop. Every diaper change is a battle. Bathtime was a battle. He wouldn't even stop crying for Goodnight Moon.
I'm miserable. I'm dreading tomorrow (doesn't help that he's up before five most days). I'm starting to resent my husband. I adore my Little but I feel like I'm at a breaking point.
Is this just horomones/lack of "me" time? Can PPD start 8.5 post facto? And can someone else please admit to yelling at their baby so I don't feel like 100% grade A scum?

performance issues with photoshop cc / lightroom 5
Jun 28, 2013
anyone notice lightroom 5 and photoshop cc performance issues?
Specifically, the pen tool in photoshop CC is very slow compared to cs6. I'm talking about just clicking to add a node to a path. It takes about 1 second before the node appears whereas it was instantaneous in CS6.
And in lightroom 5, the context menus sometimes take 4-5 seconds before they appear. Occasionally, longer.

Senate Republicans will host President Obama at their weekly conference lunch next week amid an intensifying effort by the White House to reach out to rank-and-file Republicans on a possible budget deal.
Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) announced the rare meeting between his conference and Obama in a press statement on Wednesday.
Obama has also requested to meet with House Republicans next week, according to a notice sent to the conference Wednesday morning by Mike Sommers, chief of staff to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio). The Speaker's office and the White House are now working on a time to schedule the meeting.
"President Obama has requested the opportunity to visit with our conference sometime next week to discuss various policy matters, and we are currently working to schedule that meeting. More details to follow," Sommers wrote.
The announcement that Obama will venture to Capitol Hill to meet the GOP conferences comes after the president spent the early days of this week courting a number of Republican senators in private phone calls — an indication that the president is looking to bypass party leadership in hopes of directly negotiating a long-term deficit-reduction bill.
In his statement, McConnell said Republicans welcomed the chance to discuss the nation's fiscal issues with Obama.
"We promised the American people that we would cut Washington spending, and the president signed those cuts into law. We have numerous challenges facing the country and Republicans have offered the president serious solutions to shrink Washington spending and grow the economy. And we will have an opportunity to discuss them with the president at the lunch," he said.
Senate Republicans and Democrats meet to discuss policy at private caucus lunches each week. The lunches are used to hash out positions and discuss political strategy.
President Obama last met with Senate Republicans at a closed-door session in May 2010, in a discussion that touched on the BP oil spill and the possibility of strengthening security on the border. Response to that effort was mixed, with McConnell describing the exchange as "good" and "candid," but Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kansas) blasting Obama as too "thin-skinned."
Obama is also expected to visit the Democratic House and Senate caucuses, according to a report in The New York Times, which first reported the meetings.
The president has also invited nearly a dozen Republican senators out to dinner Wednesday night, the Times reported.
Obama's dinner invitations were extended to some of his most frequent antagonists in the Senate. According to CNN, those invited include Lindsey Graham (S.C.), Bob Corker (Tenn.), Kelly Ayotte (N.H.), John McCain (Ariz.), Dan Coats (Ind.), Tom Coburn (Okla.), Richard Burr (N.C.), Mike Johanns (Neb.), Pat Toomey (Pa.), Ron Johnson (Wis.) and John Hoeven (N.D.).
NBC News reported the dinner is scheduled for three hours Wednesday evening at the Jefferson Hotel in downtown Washington. The hotel hosted numerous fundraising events for the Obama campaign during the president's 2012 reelection effort.
A senior administration official said that Wednesday's meeting was part of Obama's latest "common-sense caucus," where the president wants to reach out to "moderates and pragmatists who are compelled to do the right thing."
"It's clear to get anything done there's going to need to be a coalition with moderates," the senior official said. "Clearly talking to Boehner has gotten us nowhere all the time. Now we're looking to reach out to people who want to work with us. He's trying to build on the idea of a common-sense caucus."
Asked why the president decided to meet with the senators for dinner on Wednesday night and speak to the group next week on the Hill, the aide added, "I think there's just a frustration that we were not getting anywhere with the leadership."
While the official said it's unclear whether reaching out to Senate Republicans will ultimately work, "It just takes a couple of votes. We have to get to 60 [votes] not 70. And if moderate Republicans joined Democrats in the Senate, it isolates the House."
"But we'll see ... we take them at their word that they want to work with us," the official said.
House Republicans welcomed the president's entreaty with open – if skeptical – arms.
"Anytime he wants to talk to us is a good step," said Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.), the vice chairwoman of the House Republican conference.
The party has complained for years about Obama's lack of engagement with Congress and more recently about the campaign-style rallies he continued to hold even after his reelection.
"He has been out on the campaign trail, and he has been trying to bully us instead of bargain with us, but it hasn't worked. Maybe this is a recognition of that," Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said. "Everybody is allowed multiple chances, and if we can find a more productive way to work back and forth together, particularly on these fiscal challenges, that's all for the good."
Conservative Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) praised the new effort at dialogue, particularly since the president wanted to speak to the whole conference instead of merely one-on-one negotiations with Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), which rank-and-file members have bristled at.
"In my opinion, that can only be a good thing," Gingrey said. "Now I don't what he's going to say or what he's going to ask of us, but certainly I'll be there, listening."
At the same time, some Republicans were skeptical of the president's motives. "I'm open-minded. I hope this is not check-the-box, so he can then tell [reporters], 'Hey, look, I met with the Republicans,' " said Rep. Patrick Tiberi (R-Ohio), a senior member of the Ways and Means Committee and a Boehner ally. "So we'll see."
A House GOP leadership said the fact that Obama's outreach was generating so much interest was, in itself, an indictment of the president's leadership. "The president engaging with members of Congress should not be breaking news," the aide said. "This is what presidents are supposed to do."
The administration official said the idea was to move back to the start of the administration where there was outreach to the Hill.
On Tuesday, Obama spoke with Graham, who hinted that the president's efforts could be gaining momentum in the bitterly divided Congress.
"I'm very encouraged by what I see from the president in terms of substance and tone. He's calling people — this is how you solve hard problems," Graham told reporters.
Obama also reportedly spoke with Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a key centrist vote, along with budget hawks like Corker and Coburn. Last week, Obama met with Graham and McCain at the White House, as well as separately with top House and Senate leadership from both parties.

|http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/ A service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine®
The official name of this gene is "mitochondrially encoded NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit 4."
MT-ND4 is the gene's official symbol. The MT-ND4 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
The MT-ND4 gene provides instructions for making a protein called NADH dehydrogenase 4. This protein is part of a large enzyme complex known as complex I, which is active in mitochondria. Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. These cellular structures produce energy through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, which uses oxygen and simple sugars to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source.
Complex I is one of several enzyme complexes necessary for oxidative phosphorylation. Within mitochondria, these complexes are embedded in a tightly folded, specialized membrane called the inner mitochondrial membrane. During oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial enzyme complexes carry out chemical reactions that drive the production of ATP. Specifically, they create an unequal electrical charge on either side of the inner mitochondrial membrane through a step-by-step transfer of negatively charged particles called electrons. This difference in electrical charge provides the energy for ATP production.
Complex I is responsible for the first step in the electron transport process, the transfer of electrons from a molecule called NADH to another molecule called ubiquinone. Electrons are then passed from ubiquinone through several other enzyme complexes to provide energy for the generation of ATP.
Several mutations in the MT-ND4 gene are known to cause Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. Each of these mutations changes a single protein building block (amino acid) in the NADH dehydrogenase 4 protein. One MT-ND4 mutation is the most common cause of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy; it is responsible for about 70 percent of all cases worldwide. This mutation, which can be written as G11778A or Arg340His, replaces the amino acid arginine with the amino acid histidine at protein position 340. This mutation tends to cause severe vision loss, with little chance of recovery.
Researchers are investigating how mutations in the MT-ND4 gene lead to Leber hereditary optic neuropathy. These genetic changes appear to prevent complex I from interacting normally with ubiquinone, which may affect the generation of ATP. MT-ND4 mutations may also increase the production within mitochondria of potentially harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species. It remains unclear, however, why the effects of these mutations are often limited to the nerve that relays visual information from the eye to the brain (the optic nerve). Additional genetic and environmental factors probably contribute to the vision loss and other medical problems associated with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy.
A mutation in the MT-ND4 gene also has been identified in a small number of people with Leigh syndrome, a progressive brain disorder that typically appears in infancy or early childhood. Affected children may experience vomiting, seizures, delayed development, muscle weakness, and problems with movement. Heart disease, kidney problems, and difficulty breathing can also occur in people with this disorder.
The MT-ND4 mutation that can cause Leigh syndrome, written as C11777A or Arg340Ser, replaces the amino acid arginine with the amino acid serine at protein position 340. This genetic change appears to disrupt the normal function of complex I in mitochondria. It is not known, however, how this MT-ND4 mutation is related to the specific features of Leigh syndrome.
The MT-ND4 gene is located in mitochondrial DNA.
Molecular Location in mitochondrial DNA: base pairs 10,760 to 12,137

I live in cherry country and inexpensive dried Montmorency cherries in ten pound boxes are everywhere during the summer, hence this adaptation of Wild Yeast's Cranberry-Oat Sourdough Scones.
Cherry-Oat Sourdough Scones
100g dried Montmorency cherries (more or less, depending on your taste for fruit in scones.)
87g white whole wheat flour
40g oat flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/8 teaspoon baking soda
5/8 teaspoon salt
50g sugar
100g cold unsalted butter
40g rolled oats
340g mature 100% hydration sourdough starter
17g nonfat milk powder
coarse sugar for topping
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar.
- Cut cold butter into 1/2 inch cubes and cut into flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
- Add oats and cherries and mix just enough to break up the clumps of cherries and distribute well.
- Add the sourdough starter and milk powder. I add the milk powder here to give it time to dissolve in the liquid of the starter, as I had problems with it not dissolving completely when I included it in the flour step. Mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix. Dough will be sticky.
- Turn dough onto well-floured (or well-oated, a layer of rolled oats works well here) counter and pat into a rectangle. Cut into scones of the desired size with a dough cutter. I get eight triangles out of this.
- Place scones on an oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake until golden brown, about 23 minutes.

We took the "Tour de Falls" at Dupont Forest. The children had such fun riding and waiting for the buses! Then we had cookies at the last stop. The water falls were beautiful. The cold and damp weather kept us from exploring more. (Not to mention the fact wet rocks are very slippery!!!)
The beauty God created on this earth-AWESOME! Praise God for his hidden treasures.
And for heated buses to warm us up inbetween the breathtaking and nose running sites!

The Family Research Council (FRC) is Exhibit A to this proposition. For its work to preserve and advocate traditional values and morals, including the defense of a one man, one woman view of marriage, it has been branded as a "hate organization," by SPLC. No matter that the FRC's views are rooted in ancient, universally-recognized social and religious principles, or that a free society should welcome and encourage vigorous debate on this topic. SPLC fueled the fire of intolerance and hate and made the FRC a target for retribution. Is it any wonder, therefore, that an unstable, self-styled vigilante took it upon himself to "punish" FRC for the organization's "anti-gay" views?
But indicting organizations like FRC in the court of public opinion is not enough. SPLC apparently feels that the most effective way to silence debate on key moral issues is through the courts. Recently, SPLC has filed suit against Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing, or JONAH. According to its website, JONAH is a "faith-based, nonprofit organization that offers assistance to men and women seeking to resolve their sexual conflicts, including unwanted same sex attractions." SPLC asserts that homosexuality is fixed and immutable, and that because of this JONAH's work to help people overcome their same-sex desires amounts to consumer fraud. They further assert that JONAH's work is emotionally and psychologically harmful, and that it fosters "anti-gay bigotry."
A victory for SPLC in this case would set a frightful legal precedent with broad-sweeping implications for the foundational constitutional freedoms of speech, conscience, religion, and association. As a private organization, JONAH has every right to offer reorientation or conversion counseling to willing clients. Individuals with unwanted same-sex attractions have every right to pursue resources to help them overcome these attractions. SPLC is seeking to silence the voices of faith and tradition in America by making it "hateful" and "fraudulent" to advocate for these causes. What's next? Suits against churches for preaching about a "nonexistent" God? Suits against Creationist research groups for advocating intelligent design? Suits against those who reject the theory of man-made global warming? Suits against Weight Watchers for suggesting that fat people can become thinner and healthier by changing their lifestyle choices? The possibilities are limitless.
SPLC appears to have no use for freedom of thought or freedom of speech. Its once noble mission has been perverted to radical ideological ends. It is unwilling to accept that life in a free society means that people will disagree on a host of issues, even issues that SPLC considers to be matters of "settled science." In light of this, it is more important than ever that people of faith and conscience be vigilant. If we assume that organizations like SPLC will never be successful in their campaign to legally hamstring our constitutional rights, we'll find ourselves shocked when the legal rug is pulled from beneath our feet. I, for one, am not prepared to cede my First Amendment liberties without a fight.

I've been going around as a writer, but started getting drawn into Concept Art and 3D modeling. I'm currently finishing my studies as a 3D artist and will then be let loose on the world. Beware!
These are the modular pieces of the corridor (tile floor, tile ceiling, tile sidewall). I snapped them to the next module, it works great. Now I will start detailing the different surfaces and laying in some more material qualities and wear. Finally, I'll do some decals and lettering on the walls.
I'd also like to make at least one panel with cables, so there is some point of interest in the area.

State park art market vendors from 9 to retired
Published: Tuesday, March 30, 2010 at 8:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 26, 2010 at 9:56 a.m.
ST. MARTINVILLE — The youngest entrepreneur at the Longfellow State Historic Park's arts and crafts market sold half of her stock in the first two hours, leaving 11 of the yarn dolls and five hours to sell them in.
Nine-year-old Sammie Armentor of New Iberia said she had learned just weeks earlier to make the dolls. She planned to invest her proceeds in a Harry Potter video game.
"I have all the books and only one movie because that's all my mom will let me have," Armentor said. "I haven't seen any of the other movies even though I really want to."
A schoolmate has a way around that, she confided. "If I sneak to Collin Pellerin's house I'll get to watch the second one."
She said the market was great, and she had even bigger plans for the next one.
"I think I would like to do some woodwork," she said. Her mother, Cheri Armentor, smiled. That will need classes, she said.
Janelle Gonsoulin of New Iberia showed off her eye- and sun-catching garden art at Saturday's show. Made of plates, bowls, cups and other glass pieces in a variety of colors, Gonsoulin offered garden stakes, sun catchers, table-top decor and objects she described as having unlimited purpose. Her crafting began a year ago.
"I never thought I was crafty," Gonsoulin said. "A friend of mine bought something similar, and I looked and I thought, 'Hey, I could do that.' The glass is my inspiration. I have eight shelves of glass pieces at home to do something with."
More than the money that comes with selling her craft, Gonsoulin, 54, gets reimbursed tenfold with people's reactions to her pieces.
"I try to make as many craft shows as possible," she said. "The people here are so phenomenal. The positive feedback really makes me feel good. It's given me more faith in mankind."
Tommy Myers of Eunice has been making wooden bird houses since he retired from retail several years ago.
In six years he has crafted 960 houses, each unique. In addition to his intricate, hand-carved decorations, he uses anything from a child's drum set to pieces of an old kitchen sink.
"They are very hard to part with," he said.
Myers also was selling rosaries and rosary bracelets crafted from China balls and Job's tears — two plants he said the Acadians used to fashion rosaries because they had no other material available when they first arrived.
Site manager Reinaldo Barnes said every penny generated from the market goes back to the park system.
He said attendance March 14 was excellent, thanks to blue skies and welcome spring weather.
"This thing is really weather related," he said. "And you couldn't ask for better weather."

I am using this method to change the backgrounds of my uiviewcontrollers. It generally works when I push a view controller.
However, if the viewcontroller is presented using
[self presentModalViewController:customViewController animated:YES];
then, this code doesnt work. Can anyone kindly suggest whats wrong ?
Code used:
To have an image in the navigation bar, you have to draw it yourself, which actually isn't that hard. Save this as UINavigationBar+CustomBackground.m (it adds a custom category to UINavigationBar):

Personal liberty makes each American citizen a creature of dignity. Obama overlooks this. Though in presenting Congress a $3.9 trillion budget Feb. 24 he insisted that he's not for big government, he is. Consider the vastness of the budget, its far-reaching domestic policies, and much of his background as a community organizer. Clearly, he is a big-government guy. No other American president has been so committed to big government.
Historically, most of our experiences with big government have been unhappy. Big government is expensive, inefficient and, once corrupted, very difficult to clean up. Moreover, once a government bureaucracy has made its judgment on you, whom do you appeal to? With Obamacare, government will decide when and whether you can get that knee replacement. From the clear utterances of the president's health care advisers, namely, Ezekiel Emanuel and David Blumenthal, that knee replacement will depend on such factors as your age and your overall health. If you are too old or decrepit, government will have a more economical place to spend its money. In other words, your health will not be decided by what you want to pay for it, but by government policy. That test you wanted for colon cancer might be denied. You might just be too old. Such decisions are made by the nationalized British system all the time.
Almost any service the government provides can be more efficiently and effectively provided by private enterprise. The most striking example is the inefficiency of the money-losing U.S. Postal Service, which has been swept aside by the Internet and by such private carriers as UPS and FedEx. Government is not even very effective in its efforts at regulation. Consider the recent failures of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There is another unappreciated failing of government. It politicizes everything that it touches, including the simplest human relations. Agreements that ought to be arrived at voluntarily or through the rule of law are arrived at by lobbyists or thanks to the political power of your group -- ethnic, economic or otherwise.
One of the little-noted projects of the government health care reforms being considered on Capitol Hill today is the channeling of health care money away from the elderly and toward community services and drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Equal rights before the law is all well and good, but it is political favor and political power that matter when big government is making your decisions for you.
That is why so many Americans have opted for freedom from government. We recognize that the free society is the most humane ... and the most productive.

ONGC posts good 2013-14 numbers on buoyant crude oil prices
Posted on Aug 31 2014 | IANS
New Delhi, Aug 31 : The decline in global crude oil prices coupled with gradual diesel rate hikes towards the fuel's full market-pricing has reflected well in the 2013-14 performance of state-run explorer Oil and Natural Gas corp (ONGC).
"With the buoyancy in international crude prices and greenback strength (our revenue is US Dollar-denominated) expected to continue, there are substantive growth potential in earnings in the near-term," ONGC chairman D.K. Sarraf said in the company's annual report for 2013-14.
In 2013-14, ONGC registered its highest-ever revenue at Rs.842.01 billion, a growth of 1.1 percent from Rs.832.90 billion in the previous fiscal.
The company also posted a higher profit after tax of Rs.220.95 billion, up 5.6 percent from fiscal 2013), after sharing the highest ever under-recovery, or losses on selling below cost, of Rs.563.84 billion.
ONGC's net realized price in 2013-14 was USD 40.97 per barrel, which was 14.4 percent lower than USD 47.85 it realized in the financial year 2013.
"This was due to discount of USD 65.75 per barrel on crude sold to oil marketing companies (USD 62.89/barrel in FY-13), as per government instructions," the report said.
it has been reported that the government proposes to rationalise the subsidy-sharing mechanism for state-run oil producers, which is expected to reduce the burden on ONGC and Oil India.
"With more remunerative pricing of our natural gas and with subsidy rationalization, significant value remains to be unlocked for your trusted shareholdings," Sarraf said in the annual report
The company has proposed a dividend payment of 190 percent with payout ratio of 43.04 percent.
During this fiscal, ONGC's foreign arm, ONGC Videsh Limited (OVL), acquired assets in Mozambique, Brazil, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
OVL now has a portfolio of 33 hydrocarbon properties worth over USD 15 billion across the globe in 16 countries.

Abner Doubleday (June 26, 1819 – January 26, 1893) was a career United States Army officer and Union general in the American Civil War. He fired the first shot in defense of Fort Sumter, the opening battle of the war, and had a pivotal role in the early fighting at the Battle of Gettysburg. Gettysburg was his finest hour, but his relief by Maj. Gen. George G. Meade caused lasting enmity between the two men. In San Francisco, after the war, he obtained a patent on the cable car railway that still runs there. In his final years in New Jersey, he was a prominent member and later president of the Theosophical Society. Doubleday has been historically credited with inventing baseball, although this appears to be untrue.

The Aviator Reviews
Saw it again! Epic Film! This truly is one of the best films ever made by Martin Scorsese and Leo DiCaprio. A superb biopic of Howard Hughes, the man that changed aviation as we know it. Fantastic Film! If you haven't watch this film before you really should, cinema at it's best right here.
Focusing on his early years (from the 1930 production of 'Hell's Angels' to the 1947 test flight of the Blue Spruce, when he was 42), this is the story of how young Howard Hughes transformed a small fortune into a massive one. The son of the Texan inventor of an amazing drill bit who died when he was 18, leaving him with 75% of the "Hughes Tool Co.", Howard Hughes quickly moved to Los Angeles to become a Hollywood film producer, where he helped launch the career of Jean Harlow and other starlets, and producing such classics as Hell's Angels, The Front Page, Flying Leathernecks, and Scarface (the 1932 original), eventually owning RKO Pictures. Hughes' legend came not from focusing on just Hollywood, however, as he simultaneously branched into industry after industry, including aviation in 1932 (including TWA Airlines), and during WWII, defense, leading to the creation of the (infamous) Spruce Goose, a flying boat of immense size. After WWII, Hughes' expansions continued, with an electronics company that was integral to the evolution of the satellite, and Hughes' several Las Vegas casinos (though this film may be ending before he moves there). This film will also focus on Hughes' romances with Hollywood stars like Katharine Hepburn and Ava Gardner.
The film is epic in cinematography as well as casting and direction with every frame highly detailed and given amazing depth with the score.� Every scene and every shot looks perfect and seems to have been done with painful attention to accuracy and setup, the clothes the cast wear to the amazing sets are all beautifully done whilst the story of Hughes life is handled with care and includes a large range of big names from both show business and the financial world, I'm unsure if its all accurate but it damn well seems like it when watching.
A long film yes but it doesn't feel like it as there is so much going on throughout the film with so many people popping in and out of Hughes life, along with his personal conquests, that you find yourself wondering about what all these other people did and what happened to them, it makes you wanna read up on the whole history of it all. Its also really interesting to see many Hollywood legends portrayed by modern day stars and I was impressed at the levels of dedication shown, Blanchett, Beckinsale and a small cameo by Jude Law as Errol Flynn were all superbly done, especially Blanchett who clearly spend allot of time nailing Hepburn. DiCaprio is the star of this piece though for sure with a brilliant performance as Hughes that almost became annoying as he portrayed Hughes' compulsive disorder to nerve jangling levels, started to make you twitch watching him do it haha Can't forget about the amazing costume department though and their work, everyone looked so good in their duds, faultless right down to the massive amount of extras in many scenes.
From the creation of his epic 'Hell's Angels' to the obsessive and devoted creation of his aircraft through to the courtroom drama's between himself, Trippe and Senator Brewster to the finale and his flying of the Hercules 'airboat'.....this film is never dull even though I really thought it would be hehe probably one of the most accurate period films I've seen and a surprise from Scorsese really.
I had a few, few, tiny story issues I didn't like... like the split screen. Dated technique. But still, amazing overall!
The Aviator is a stunning film thats well directed and acted, and is quite possibly one of the best biopics ever made. Martin Scorsese has definitely made his best film since Goodfellas, and this film was only topped by his follow up, The Departed, for which he won an Academy Award for best director. The Aviator is yet another fine film from a director who knows to craft terrific pictures and Scorsese is a definite master of cinema. The way this film illustrates the life of such an intriguing man is superb, only Martin Scorsese could have made such an ambitious film about a man who had such an ambitious life. The Aviator also takes a look at the Spruce Goose, Hughe's famous flying boat that only flew once. If you're looking for a great biopic to watch, make it The Aviator, a truly interesting and entertaining film.
The Aviator is a biography of Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his rise in aviation and the hardships he suffered. Whether is what with the women or the ticks he had about being clean all the time or just re-doing everything to make them perfection. He first started as just as a director for movies. It mainly follows his smash hit "Hell's Angels" which was the most expensive movie ever created (at it's time). But he soon starts to fall in love with aviation and starts to create planes and his new airline, Trans World Airlines.
While spending millions of dollars on the planes that either fell apart or didn't work, he had to battle with his mental illness, obsessive compulsive disorder. He had a real problem with being clean that had him washing his hands constantly and not touching anything dirty. There is one part in the movie where he was unable to open the bathroom door and waited for another person to enter so he could exit without touching the doorknob. There is another scene where Hughes puts tape in every corner of his house that is covered in germs and the only place he could stay in was places that didn't have any tape, the "germ free zone".
He was also battling Panam airlines for the control of the skies as Hughes puts it. He also had criticism for his work since his planes never worked and used millions of dollars to create them.
Howard Hughes, a mental illness, a famous director, an aviator, a survivor of a deadly plane crash, and a ladies man died in 1976.
The movie is fantastic. Martin Scorsese did a perfect job on The Aviator, especially with the planes for "Hell's Angels". Leonardo DiCaprio gave an amazing performance that gave him an Academy Award nomination. A truly perfect movie that is both dark and beautiful in their own ways.
***The Aviator was nominated for 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and won 5, one of them was Best Supporting Actress - Cate Blanchett.***

A widowed farmer, Marinus headed back to Holland in December 1926, in search of a wife and a mother for his three children. What compelled him to travel 2500 miles to New York, cross the Atlantic by ship for about 10 days, three young children in tow, just to find a wife. Surely, Oregon had respectable women to choose from. Apparently John, one of Marinus's brothers, also returned to Holland in 1921 to marry after being in the states for several years.
Sometime in 2001 or 2002, my grandma stayed with me for two weeks. I have notebooks containing some of her family stories.
After arriving in Holland, it is unclear where Marinus was staying and if he actually went to work while he was there. But I do know that my grandma says she was not with her dad, but she was staying with good friends or her real mom's parents. He was probably staying with his family, giving his children time to be with their grandparents. According to my grandma, her mother's family had been good friends or lived across the street from a family with several girls. I believe she was spending a lot of time with this family and getting to know them well. They had been there for several months and my grandma felt like her dad was starting to give up on finding someone. A little 11-year-old matchmaker, she told her dad, "I know just the one for you." She introduced them and said,"they liked each other instantly."
Her name was Paula W M Heinink. She was born February 19, 1898 to Antonius Heinink and Wilhelmina Reyers. She was a fourth grade school teacher at the time.
They were married August 24, 1927. He was 45 and she was 29.
On October 6, 1927 they left Rotterdam via the S.S. Volendam steamer 2nd class, arriving directly in to New York, by-passing Ellis Island. Paula had eye surgery when she was two and they were afraid Ellis Island Immigration office would turn her away.
She arrived in America for the first time, October 21, 1927. Married, an instant mother of three, she must have been a little apprehensive about her new life. But it appears, as she settled in, she began to take on her new role quite nicely….

Please, Rory Sabbatini, say something. Anything. Do a John Travolta to Uma Thurman in "Pulp Fiction" and stick a syringe's worth of adrenaline into the PGA Championship's chest right now. Go ahead. You know you want to.
Maybe something like: I don't know what's receding faster on Tiger Woods, his hairline or his fairways hit.Or: Knock, knock. Who's there? Tiger. Tiger who? Exactly my point. Or: Tiger has won the same number of majors as I have this year: zero. No ...

ABSTRACT: A lumped-parameter rainfall-runoff model is used to predict the long-term natural variability of runoff from approximately 100 years of daily rainfall temperature data. Two catchments from the Clarence Basin in Australia illustrate the simplicity and accuracy of the approach which can work quite well even if only two to three years of daily streamflow have been recorded for model calibration.
Article: Analysis of the effect of rainfall and streamflow data quality and catchment dynamics on streamflow prediction using the rainfall-runoff model IHACRES[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A lumped-parameter rainfall-runoff model, IHACRES, has been used to predict the long-term natural variability of runoff from approximately 100 years of daily rainfall and evaporation data for eight different catchments. The model efficiently encapsulates the response dynamics of a catchment and is a good predictor of stream discharge. It is well suited to illustrate the factors influencing the quality of stream discharge predictions, in terms of rainfall-runoff model fits to daily discharge in calibration and validation mode and to the flow duration curve. The predominant factors are rain gauge density, stream gauge rating quality, catchment response dynamics (especially slowflow/baseflow volume) and the sampling interval of rainfall discharge (always daily here). These factors manifest themselves to sufficiently different degrees in the range of catchments studied to reveal a useful appreciation of their individual and combined contributions to the quality of streamflow prediction. The predictive benefits of improvements in rain gauge coverage or in stream discharge rating are indicated. A large proportion of slowflow/baseflow in a catchment is a factor which can compensate for data quality problems. The analysis and findings in this paper can be used to improve rainfall-runoff model performance and the synthesis of long-term stream discharge records in a large number and variety of catchments.

Sailormoon doodledump 2 by NitroFiejaWatch
©2012-2016 NitroFieja
Compiled 15.X.2012, some of the doodles are as old as 1998, or perhaps even older. Canon characters, cosplaying OCs and other rubbish. Feel free to color any bits you might like, just remember to credit me :>
Chibiusa z rozpuszczonymi, falowanymi włosami. cudo
Very cute
Wow, these are all great! My faves are the one near the top with pink hair, and the icy-looking lady in the black fuku!
Great Work
if these are only doodles, what must your drawings look like? o.O
I love doodledumps. Sometimes they say a lot more about the artist than even their professional-looking art.
I totally agree. I absolutely love sketchdumps.
Especially the ones that spans several years worth of doodles. It's fun and informative to see the evolution of someone's style, even through simple doodling.
These are so great!

95 points Robert Parker: "The incredible 2007 Chardonnay Bee Block is a tour de force in mountain Chardonnay. Honeysuckle, creme brulee, buttered citrus, white peach, and baked apple characteristics emerge from this full-bodied, intense effort. With great acidity as well as fabulous precision and purity, it can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years." (02/10) The 2007 vintage Chardonnay really showcases the Bee Block as a very special site. Planted to 25-year-old vines on sedimentary rock at 670-735 feet in elevation. Nicely structured, these will age well like the 2005s, with lemony-apple aromas, and a fleshy palate with just a kiss of minerals. One of the San Francisco Chronicle's Top 100 Wines of 2009: "Sharply mineral at first take, with deep-roasted lemon and quince. There's a coiled energy to it, with a textural weight and very subtle supporting oak. A rich lime-curd tone broadens out a long, taut finish. Deep, momentous Chardonnay from the talented Varner brothers." (12/09)
