Camera Modification: Turn your LC-A+ into a Rainbow Camera!written by sandravo on 2013-05-16 in #gear #tipster
Personally I am a huge fan of redscaling. It allows you to get some color in your photos, even on the grayest of days. But what if you just want to add the redscale effect to just some of your photos rather than shooting an entire roll this way? Easy enough: use a red filter! And while you're at it, why not throw in some other colors as well?! Read on to find out how you can turn your LC-A+ in to a rainbow camera!20 79 Share Tweet

In May, I spent a week in Lisbon and totally fell in love with the city. I've never been there before and since I arrived, I immediately noticed that every corner of the street was a little treasure. All the walls that Lisbon people see everyday, all the streets they walk on, and the shops that they go to, left a really good impression on me. Nothing is too big, too showy, or too much. It's like everything is covered by a soft, shy, beauty.6 14 Share Tweet

In the tight economy, front-end engineers and front-end engineering can play a conspicuous role: good user experience, as the iPhone spectacularly demonstrates, means good business.
At the 7th International AJAXWorld RIA Conference & Expo which opened Monday in New York City, the speaker lineup is as usual dripping with real-world expertise. The distinguished Speaker Faculty is headlined by Oracle's Ashish Mohindroo, whose Opening Keynote on "Breaking the Collaboration Barrier with Rich Enterprise Applications" set the tone for two intense days of breakout sessions across three parallel tracks.
According to Mohindroo and Oracle, Rich Enterprise Applications (REAs) promise breakthrough capabilities and services for achieving higher levels of personal and team productivity throughout your enterprise.
"Consumer web and mobile technologies are setting high standards for what end users expect from enterprise applications, increasing the gap between complexity of technology and the time in which IT has to deliver," he said. Mohindroo continued:
"These trends are redefining the role of the enterprise developer and increasing the pressure to provide enterprise application users with next-generation collaboration tools, while ensuring integration of those capabilities into existing enterprise infrastructure."
His keynote outlined among other things Oracle's vision on the rapid creation of collaboration tools, of mashing up existing applications, injecting Portal capabilities into plain web apps, and building scalable Enterprise 2.0-style applications that render rich user experiences using AJAX, Java Server Faces, and Flash.
The Speaker Faculty today and tomorrow in New York includes practitioners and executives from a wide range of industry players:
- Mehmet Akin - UI Lead Developer, IBM
- Akbar Ali Ansari - Software Engineer, Oracle
- Matias Bagini - CEO, JRapid Corp
- Keith Bergelt – CEO, Open Invention Network
- Eric J. Bruno - Systems Engineer, Sun Microsystems
- Robert Boedigheimer - Web Application Architect, Schwans Shared Services
- Sujoe Bose - Research Scientist, DSine Dynamics
- Max Carlson - Lead Runtime Architect, OpenLaszlo
- Robbie Cheng - Senior Engineer, Potix Corp
- Jim Connors - Systems Engineer, Sun Microsystems
- Jose de Castro - Lead Architect, Voxeo Corporation
- Yakov Fain - Managing Director, Farata Systems
- Michael Girouard - Sr. Developer, Magnani Carusso Dutton
- Anil Gurnani - VP & Technical Project Manager, J P Morgan Chase
- Patrick Hertzog - Co-Founder& User Experience Officer, NEXThink
- Charles Jolley - Founder, SproutCore Project
- Darrel Meyer - Senior Software Architect, Ext JS
- Joe Preston - Managing Partner & UX Architect, Momentum Design Lab
- Habeeb Rushdan - Technical Trainer/Consultant, LowerHead Consulting
- Shashank Tiwari - Chief Technologist, Saven Technologies
- Shaun Walker - Creator & Maintainer, DotNetNuke
- Rich Waters - Senior Software Architect, ExtJS

- Elaine Wherry - Co-Founder & VP of Engineering, Meebo
- Kevin Whinnery - Systems Engineer, Appcelerator
- Regev Yativ - President & CEO, Magic Software

The overall Conference theme is "Driving Profitability Through the User Experience" and the event is co-located with the 15th International SOA World Conference & Expo and with iPhone Developer Summit 2009 East.
Adobe AIR - Flex and Java expert Yakov Fain will be giving a session in NYC showing how to architect an occasionally connected AIR/Java application based on the open source BlazeDS. The session, "Occasionally-Connected Applications with Adobe AIR and BlazeDS," is sure to attract a good crowd.
AJAX Push - see Comet
BlazeDS - see Adobe AIR
Browser Issues - In a session called "Solving Cross-Domain Issues When Building Mashups," IBM Software Developer Mehmet Akin will be giving delegates in New York an overview of possible techniques to overcome the the cross-domain issue caused by the browser's Same Origin Policy.
Cloud Computing - The CEO of Magic Software, Regev Yativ, will be asking "Are Rich Internet Applications Ready for the Cloud?" in a session discussing how companies can develop and deploy rich Internet business applications on premise or on the cloud, enhancing the user experience like never before, Yativ aims to show that the answer is 'Yes!'
Comet - "Where Are We Now? Where Are We Headed?" is the title of a session given by long-time AJAXWorld speaker Matthias Wessendorf. He will introduce the most common Comet Patterns and give an overview of the most relevant Comet solutions in the market, before ending the session with a preview of upcoming specifications like Java Servlet 3.0 and HTML5 - aimed at helping developers to create a much more interactive Web.
Designing Web Apps - see Web App Design
Developer Productivity - Building enterprise software during the 90s was surprisingly faster than doing it today using the HTML/AJAX way. As a result, many platforms are emerging to bring the old 4GL/RAD productivity back again into the AJAX world. Matias Bagini, CEO of JRapid Corp and himself an experienced software engineer with technical and entrepreneurial background, will be exploring this topic in June in a session called "Bringing Productivity Back to Developers in the Age of AJAX."
EC2 & AJAX - Anil Gurnani,Technical Project Manager at J P Morgan Chase, will be giving a case study session in New York describing how to use the amazing power of Amazon EC2 services and AJAX client applications to develop enterprise class applications that can scale to support hundreds of thousands of users.
Enterprise RIA - If applied incorrectly, an enterprise RIA can degrade server performance and hamper the scalability of the application as a whole. In a session titled "RIA-lizing Enterprise Applications", Dr Sujoe Bose will explore an effective, repeatable, objective and rigorous method to "RIA-lize" enterprise applications, one that not only addresses usability but also scalability and performance – important characteristics of killer-apps. "The intent is to provide a migration path to RIAs that is less risky and more rewarding," says Bose.
Flex - "Adobe Flex and the Microsoft.NET Framework - Strange But Amazing Bedfellows" is the title of a fast-paced session being given in New York by Habeeb Rushdan, a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Trainer. Delegates will receive a brief introduction into both of these exciting programming worlds and then Rushdan will describe how to leverage both of them to create a data-driven, visually stunning front end in Flex and an enterprise-ready SOA backend in .NET.
Harpsichord - see Web App Design
HTML5 - see Comet
IE8 - see Internet Explorer 8
Information Dashboards - The User Experience Officer and co-founder of NEXThink, Patrick Hertzog, will present a session offering practical guidelines for designing effective dashboards and avoiding common pitfalls. "Every manager, from the sales manager to the CEO, wants a dashboard displaying her own KPIs," notes Hertzog. His session in NYC is called: "Information Dashboards: Design & Implementation"
Internet Explorer 8 - IE8 will ship in a new "standards" mode by default, which has the potential to impact many sites that have been crafted around various "features" in past versions. In a must-attend session, "Internet Explorer 8 and its Impact on Your Web Sites," Robert Boedigheimer, principal of Robert Boedigheimer Consulting, will discuss which current practices will need to change and how this will affect your development techniques and your existing sites. "Don't be surprised the day IE 8 ships and your sites break," says Boedigheimer. "Be prepared!"
JavaFX - What is JavaFX...and why should you care? - That is precisely the questions being addressed in NYC by Sun's Eric Bruno and Jim Connors, both systems engineers and both highly qualified to speak about every aspect of JavaFX from the language (JavaFX Script), to the platforms (JavaFX, JavaFX Mobile, and JavaFX TV), development tools, and Java integration.
JavaScript - "Object Oriented JavaScript" is the title of the New York session being given by Mike Girouard, a senior front-end web developer at the creative agency Magnani Caruso Dutton. The session will explore the JavaScript programming language and will demonstrate several practical design patterns delegates can use in their JavaScript/AJAX application today.
JavaScript 2 - Max Carlson from OpenLaszlo.org is giving a session showing how OpenLaszlo 4.3 includes a new JavaScript 2-based compiler that translates JS2 syntax to a variety of formats, including JS 1.5, Actionscript 1 & 2 and Actionscript 3. It's called "Using JavaScript 2 Today with OpenLaszlo."
Java Servlet 3.0 - see Comet
Object-Oriented JavaScript - see JavaScript
Rich Clients - AJAX is not the only player in the space of UI development. a second renaissance regarding Rich Client technologies is taking place, with Rich Client frameworks such as Microsoft Silverlight and Adobe Flex. In a session called "Thin Client or Rich Client?" UI Architect Florian Mueller will be focusing on several aspects regarding technology choice and will give delegates in New York guidelines for deciding when to follow the Rich Client path in the future and when to go with a Thin Client instead.
Ruby on Rails - In a session called "Appcelerator RIA on Rails" delegates will have a chance to learn how to leverage existing JSON services implemented in Ruby on Rails controllers to provide the server back end for a rich Internet application using the Appcelerator RIA framework.
Silverlight - see Rich Clients
Thin Client vs Rich Client - see Rich Clients
Web App Design - In a sure-to-be-jam-packed New York session intriguingly called "What Web App Design Can Learn From the Harpsichord," Meebo.com co-founder and VP of Engineering Elaine Wherry will walk through recent web application design and analyze the functionality of these elements. "As designers explore how far they can go, there comes a breaking point where it hurts the end product," says Wherry. "Lesson learned is that just because you can, doesn't mean you should."
With an estimated 50 billion devices connected to the Internet by 2020, several industries will begin to expand their capabilities for retaining end point data at the edge to better utilize the range of data types and sheer volume of M2M data generated by the Internet of Things.

WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

A high-tech, Mark Cavendish National Champ, short sleeve summer cycling jersey with the same fit, fabric and technology worn by the Pro's. Highly comfortable training jersey featuring a full front zip, 3 rear pockets, & TVX fabric construction.
|Omega Pharma Quick Step
Total Vapour Exchange (TVX) Fabric
A 100% Polyester fabric made up of two different yarns, each with its own characteristics, to move moisture efficiently away from your skin. A loose-spun yarn on the inside of the fabric soaks up moisture quickly and moves it to the outside surface. A second tighter-spun yarn on the outer surface collects the moisture and allows it to evaporate. The inner surface of the garment always feels dry, even if the outside is wet.
Vermarc guarantees Italian quality, efficiency and versatility. Vermarc means true Made in Italy craftsmanship but also means technological innovation. With the same fit, fabric and technology worn by the Pro's in the UCI Pro Tour Series.
Vermarc are leaders in development of technical cycling clothing, they dress the greatest champions and have a lot of passionate cycling fans.
Replica cycling team kit means you can look and feel like a pro while on the bike and support your favourite team. So don your favourite teams jersey or world champion's jersey and hit the roads.
At Wiggle we try to keep the latest team jerseys from the top brands, such as Castelli, Craft, Focus, Nalini, Pearl Izumi, Santini and Vermarc
Vermarc Sport was founded in 1977 by legendary pro-racer, Frans Verbeeck. Today, in addition to clothing the top pro racing teams, the company produces over 4,000 unique jerseys for amateur racing teams and cycling clubs throughout Europe, America and Asia. An ex-pro racer from the Flanders region of Belgium, Frans had a deep desire to improve the conditions that riders faced during training and racing by improving the clothing they wore. His passion still fuels the company today.
Frans Verbeeck's stellar cycling career almost wasn't. In the early 1970's, Frans was struggling to earn his place in the pro peloton when he decided to hang up his wheels and find a job that would allow him to support his wife and young son. He landed a job driving a milk delivery truck but, after only one short year, his passion for the bike prompted him to return to the ranks of professional cycling.
For 'the Milkman', a name given him by his Belgian fans, turned out to be a fortuitous move. Verbeeck notched a number of high-profile wins including the Fleche Wallone, Het Volk, Amstel Gold, and the 1973 Belgian National Championship beating the likes of Eddy Merckx in the process. The Milkman delivered 166 victories as a professional.
Frans retired for good at the end of the 1976 season, and in 1977, started his own company in a partnership with the legendary Italian clothing manufacturer, Santini. Realizing the importance of his cycling experience, in 1988, Frans began producing cycling clothing under his own brand name, Vermarc Sport, a combination of the Verbeeck surname and the first name of Franz's son, Marc, who not only followed his father's footsteps into the pro peloton but now acts as the company's president.
One of the company's most strategic business decisions was to focus on providing cycling apparel for racing teams and clubs rather than enter the mass-market arena. With 57,000 licensed racers in Belgium alone, there was a great need for a supply of high quality custom clothing. Subsequently, Vermarc Sport has provided team kits for the sport's leading professional teams including TVM, DAF Trucks and Greg Lemond's 1989 Tour de France winning team, ADR. Today, they provide clothing for the Belgian powerhouse teams Quick Step, and Davitamon as well as Palmans/Collstrop, Vlaandaren 2000 and Landbouwkrediet –Tonisstiener professional cycling teams.

Cimarron Springs, Kansas 1881
JoBeth McCoy knew Marshal Garrett Cain's life was about to change foreverand all she could do was sit with his young niece until he heard the tragic news about his sister.
The towering double doors behind Jo and five-year-old Cora creaked open, and Reverend Miller cleared his throat. "You can send in the child now." He held out his hand for Cora. "Marshal Cain has been informed of his sister's passing."
Her heart heavy, Jo stood, then hesitated in the dappled sunlight. A soft breeze sent pear blossoms from the trees on either side of the shallow church steps fluttering over them like fragrant snow petals.
Cora rose and snatched Jo's hand. "Will you go with me?"
A riot of flaxen curls tumbled merrily around the little girl's face, but her Cupid's-bow mouth was solemn beneath her enormous, cornflower-blue eyes. Cora clutched a paper funnel filled with lemon drops in her left hand. Her battered rag doll remained anchored to her right side.
Jo met the reverend's sympathetic gaze, grateful for his almost imperceptible nod of agreement. He was a squat, sturdy man in his middle fifties with thinning gray hair and a kind smile.
The three of them stepped into the church vestibule, and Reverend Miller directed them toward his tiny, cluttered office. Jo paused as her eyes adjusted in the dim light.
Marshal Cain sat on a sturdy wooden chair before the desk, his expression grim. Her heart skittered, but she swallowed back her nerves and forced her steps closer.
His eyes were red, and the tail end of a hastily stowed handkerchief peeked out from his breast pocket. As though embarrassed by his tears, he didn't meet her gaze. Instead, he focused his attention on the petite fingers clutching Jo's waist. He didn't stand or approach them, and for that Jo was grateful, especially since Cora cowered behind her.
He caught sight of his niece's frightened gaze and blinked rapidly. "Hello, Cora. I know we've never met, but your mother and I were brother and sister."
Jo had only seen the marshal a handful of times, but he was an imposing sight sitting down, let alone standing. Well over six feet tall, he wore his dark hair neatly trimmed. Though he didn't sport a beard, a five-o'clock shadow perpetually darkened his jaw.
His face was all hard lines and tough angles, with a deep cleft dividing his chin. An inch-long scar slashed at an angle from his forehead through one thick, dark eyebrow. Other women might prefer a gentler face, but Jo found his distinctive features fascinating. Not that she looked. A woman simply couldn't help but notice things once in a while.
Cora took a hesitant step from behind Jo. "Mama is dead."
"Papa, too."
The marshal's knuckles whitened on the arms of his chair. "I know," he replied, his voice gruff.
Jo glanced between the two, her chest aching for their shared grief. From what little information she'd gathered, the girl's parents had died in a fire three weeks ago. As Cora's closest living relative, Marshal Cain had been assigned guardianship. Reverend Miller had just broken the news, and the poor man was obviously devastated by the loss.
Realizing the reverend had deserted them, Jo craned her neck and searched the empty vestibule. Everyone in town knew she had all the sensitivity of a goat at a tea party, and this situation definitely required a delicate touch.
She caught sight of Cora's dismayed expression and decided she'd best keep the two talking until the reverend returned. "Why don't you show Mr. Cain what you bought at the store this morning."
The marshal's gaze flicked up at Jo, then quickly returned to Cora as she dutifully extended her arm, revealing her precious stash of candy.
"Want one?"
"Uh, well, sure." He stretched out one hand and plucked a lemon drop from atop the mound. "Your mother liked peppermints," he added.
Cora nodded eagerly. "Me, too!"
Relieved by the girl's easy acceptance of Marshal
Cain, Jo spurred the conversation. "Cora rode a train all the way from St. Louis, didn't you?"
"Mrs. Smith wouldn't let me sit by the window." Cora fingered a dangling edge of pink ribbon circling the frilly waistband of her dress. "She was grumpy."
A shadow crossed the marshal's eyes. "Sorry 'bout that. I didn't know you were coming. I'd have fetched you myself."
"Would you let me sit by the window?"
"I guess. If you wanted."
The tension in Jo's shoulders eased a bit. They'd been frantically searching for the marshal since the day nearly two weeks past when Jo had transcribed the telegram announcing his niece's imminent arrival. He'd been escorting a prisoner to Wichita and had run into trouble along the way.
By the time they'd discovered his location and informed him that he was needed back in town posthaste, the poor little girl had already arrived with her grim-faced escort. Mrs. Smith had been terrified of Indians, and certain she'd never make it back to St. Louis with her scalp intact.
Since the skittish escort was obviously frightening Cora with her hysterics, Jo had cheerfully assumed responsibility for the little girl and hustled Mrs. Smith onto an eastbound train. Three days had gone by since then.
"When are we going back home?" Cora asked.
Jo's heart wrenched at the innocent question.
"Well, that's the thing." Marshal Cain cleared his throat. "I thought you could stay out here and live with me." The raw vulnerability in his expression touched Jo's soul. "We're the only family either of us has left."
Cora's solemn blue eyes blinked with understanding. "Don't you have a mama and papa, either?"
"Nope. Your mom and I lost our parents when I was fifteen and your mother was eighteen."
Though his expression remained neutral, Jo sensed a wagonload of sorrow behind the simple words.
Cora clasped her hands at her waist. "Did they die in a fire like my mama and papa?"
Stark anguish exploded in the marshal's gaze, and Jo took an involuntary step backward. His reaction felt too bleak, too powerful for an event that must be almost twenty years past.
Covering his revealing lapse, he absently rubbed his cheek. "Smallpox."
"What's that?" Cora asked.
"It's a sickness." The marshal angled his face toward the light. "It leaves scars."
Jo and Cora leaned closer, both squinting. Sure enough, the rough stubble on his chin covered a scattering of shallow pockmarks. Jo had never been this close to the marshal before and she caught the barest hint of his scentmasculine and clean. Her stomach fluttered. Once again she couldn't help but wonder how all his imperfection added up to down-right handsome.
Cora shrugged. "Your face doesn't look bad."
Jo glanced down at her own rough, homespun skirts and serviceable shirtwaist. Men's flaws made them look tough. But a woman who dressed and acted like a tomboy, well, that was another story. A woman without corkscrew curls and lace collars wasn't worth the time of day. She'd learned that lesson well enough when Tom Walby, the only boy she'd ever had a crush on, had mocked her for being a hoyden before the entire eighth-grade class.
Turned out men fell in love with their eyes first and their hearts second. Which was too bad, really. Nettles were far more useful in life than roses.
"Did you ride a train after your parents died?" Cora asked.
"I don't remember," the marshal replied. "That was a long time ago for me."
Cora nodded her agreement, her flaxen curls bobbing. "You're old, so that musta been a really, really long time ago."
Ducking her head, Jo muffled a laugh. Marshal Cain blinked as though her presence had only now fully registered through the haze of his grief. He hastily stood, knocking his hat to the floor. They both reached for it at the same time, nearly butting heads. Jo touched the brim first. As he accepted his hat, the marshal's rough, callused fingers brushed over hers, sending a scattering of gooseflesh dancing up her arm.
Jo met his dark eyes, astonished by the intensity of his gaze.
"My apologies for not greeting you," he said, sounding more formal than she'd ever heard him. "We met in church once, didn't we?"
"Don't be sorry, Mr. Cain." For some reason, she seemed to have a difficult time catching her breath when he was near. "You've been busier than a termite in a sawmill. I'm JoBeth McCoy."
The admission earned her a dry chuckle. "Seems like you can't turn a corner in this town without running into a McCoy."
Jo grinned. She had five younger brothers, and they never expected her to be anyone but herself. In fact, they'd probably clobber her if she started acting like a regular girl. "They're a handful, yes, sir."
"Reverend Miller says you and Cora have been inseparable."
Jo had taken a proprietary interest in Cora's plight from the beginning. The messages concerning her care had been clipped and chillingly professional. A child thrust into such turmoil needed more than a hired guardian like Mrs. Smith. She needed love and understanding.
Jo squeezed Cora's hand. "I work in the telegraph office. Part of my job is keeping track of unclaimed packages after the trains depart." She winked at Cora. "'Course this was a special case. Everyone needs a friend sometimes, right, Cora?"
The little girl returned the comforting pressure. "Jo-Beth sent twenty-six different messages trying to find you. I counted. JoBeth has five brothers. I counted them, too. I don't have any brothers. Do you have any brothers?"
The marshal and the little girl sized each other up like a couple of nervous spring foals. They were wary, yet curious, too. Suddenly, Jo realized how terribly unnecessary her presence had become. Cora didn't need her anymoreshe had Marshal Cain.
Though he'd only been in town a few months, Jo sensed his unwavering resolve. He'd spent his time quietly and methodically cleaning up Cimarron Springs, a Herculean task. Their previous sheriff had been lazy and corrupt, and every outlaw west of the Mississippi had exploited his lax law enforcement. The marshal still had loads of work ahead of him, but he didn't show any signs of slowing.
And now that he and little Cora had each other, they didn't need her.
A band of emotion tightened around Jo's chest. Though she and Cora had known each other a short time, she felt a kinship.
A small hand tugged on her skirts. "How come you don't know Marshal Cain? You said you know everyone in town."
Jo glanced at the marshal and found him studying Reverend Miller's book collection as though it was the most fascinating thing on earth. She wondered if he was thinking about the deluge of invitations he'd received during his first few months in Cimarron Springs. Introducing a new man in town was like tossing raw meat into a pack of wolves. A pack of female wolves.
Warmth crept up Jo's neck. Of course, no one had considered her as a possible love interest. Not even her own parents had invited the marshal for dinner. Not that she cared, since she never planned on marrying. She'd pinched her cheeks and fluttered her eyelashes for Tom Walby and look what that had gotten her. He'd told her he'd rather court his grandfather's mule.
She wasn't about to make the same mistake twice.
Covering her unease, she fanned the tip of her thick, dark braid. "Marshal Cain has only been in town a few months. I guess he's never had call to arrest me. If I was a cattle rustler, we'd be on a first-name basis by now, I'm sure."
Cora giggled. The marshal sputtered, then coughed, and Jo immediately regretted her joke. A little ribbing always worked on her brothers when they were tense, but the marshal seemed embarrassed by her teasing. As the silence stretched out, the walls of Reverend Miller's office closed in around her, and the air grew thick.
Oblivious to the tension gripping the adults, Cora plucked a lemon drop from her paper funnel and popped it into her mouth. "Can I have a puppy?" she spoke, her voice muffled around her candy. "Mama said we couldn't have a puppy in the city. But you live in the country, don't you, Mr. Cain?"
Jo caught the marshal's helpless expression before he quickly masked his thoughts. He'd lost his sister and brother-in-law and discovered he was guardian of his five-year-old niece in the course of a few tragic moments.
He didn't live in the country. He lived in a set of rooms above the jail.
Cora spit the candy into her cupped palm. "The bears won't eat my puppy, will they? Mrs. Smith said Kansas was full of giant man-eating bears."
"Mrs. Smith was mistaken," Marshal Cain replied, his voice no more than a whisper.
Jo instinctively reached out a hand, but the marshal flinched. Flustered, she clenched her teeth and let a flash of anger douse the pain. "I was just being nice. It's not like I was gonna hit you, fool man."
For years after she'd socked Tom in the eye for humiliating her in public, the boys in town had made a point of shrinking away from her in mock terror.
The marshal gingerly touched his side. "It's not that, I bruised a couple ribs in a scuffle up north."
Jo mentally slapped her forehead. Of course he wasn't mocking her, he didn't even know about her humiliation. Why was anger always her first line of defense?
"I'm sorry," she spoke quickly. "Can I get you a a pillow or something?"
"No need. I've suffered worse."
Every time she tried to say the right thing with a man, the feminine thing, it always fell flat. And how had Reverend Miller gotten lost in a two-room church?
She whirled and collided with the object of her ire.
The reverend steadied her with a hand on her elbow. "I see the marshal and his niece have gotten acquainted."
"No thanks to"
A commotion outside interrupted her words. The reverend clasped his hands, his face pinched. "I believe you're needed outside, Marshal Cain." He glanced meaningfully in Cora's direction. "Tom Walby is in one of his moods."
Jo and Marshal Cain groaned in unison. Tom had grown from an adolescent annoyance into an adult bully with a nasty temper and a penchant for drinking. Every few weeks he got into a fight with his wife and took out his frustration on the local saloon. Jo flipped her braid over her shoulder.
Tom's wife never resisted the opportunity to smirk at her, still lording over her victory all these years later. Considering the prize had been Tom, Jo figured it was a loss she could endure.
"Can you look after Cora?" Marshal Cain directed his question toward Jo, and she eagerly smiled her agreement. "I'll take care of Tom as quick as I can."
The marshal knelt before Cora and enveloped her hand in his grasp. "Don't worry. We have each other now, and everything is going to be all right."
Jo's throat burned with rare emotion. They did have each other. They were a family. Not in the regular way, but a family nonetheless. If God had blessed her with a little girl as precious as Cora, she'd never let her go. Except she'd most likely never have a family of her own. Men didn't court girls who wore trousers beneath their skirts.
Jo shook off the gloomy thoughts. She had five brothers, after all. More family than one girl needed. With the boys already courting, she'd have her own nieces and nephews soon. She'd be the favorite aunt.
Just as long as she didn't end up like Aunt Vicky. The woman had fifteen goats and was known to dress them up for special occasions.
Marshal Cain slapped his hat back on his head. "Much obliged for your help."
He strode out the door, taking with him the crackling energy that surrounded Jo whenever he was near. While she didn't envy the marshal's task, she was grateful for the reprieve.
Surely by the time they met again, this strange, winded feeling would be gone. Besides, she liked him, liked the way he smiled at her, and she didn't want to ruin their camaraderie.
Cora tugged on her skirts. "You have something in your hair."
Ducking, Jo checked her disheveled reflection in the reflective glass of Reverend Miller's bookcase doors. She smoothed her fingers over her braided hair and released a scattering of pear blossoms, then threw up her arms with a groan.
She'd spent the entire conversation with white petals strewn over her dark hair.

If your life simply isn't complete without Click and Clack's rabble-rousing, cackle fest of automobile advice that is NPR's Car Talk, then it may be difficult to break away from your radio for a more hands-on jalopy experience.
But if you can manage to, you and buggy buffs will get an eyeful of wheelie wonders during the Arizona International Auto Show. The sneak peek at 2012 rides will include more than 400 trucks, sedans, and high-end roadsters from on view at the Phoenix Convention Center.
More than 50 models will be available for test drives, including the Toyota Prius V and Chevy Volt. Of course, it wouldn't be a car show without some swoon-inducing models. That's why a collection of exotics -- including Aston Martins, Bentleys, and Lamborghinis -- will be on view in the luxury lounge.

This one is for the ladies…
This is not a blog that thousands of people read. I've said before that it is more like a journal and a way to pass some time while I count down the hours/days/weeks/months until daddy comes home (hence the title). As we've added kids I have spent less time writing here, so I'm sure any chance of a loyal "following" is gone. Therefore there are no ads, no one sending me products to try and review, no money being made here, and no attempts at turning this blog into anything other than what it is. There is one other post devoted to telling people to go buy something. It was about the Beco Gemini baby carrier and it is still a baby product I recommend to friends. This will be a post like that. A "you NEED this" post. But its not about a baby carrier. It is about a menstrual cup.
You might be thinking, "what the heck is a menstrual cup?" I know that's what I thought when I first heard of them. Or maybe I am way late to this party and everyone is using them. Outside of certain circles I kind of doubt that's the case. And if you are someone I talk to regularly and and we have even once talked about periods, vaginas, bodily fluids, etc. and you failed to mention that you use a menstrual cup and how awesome it is then we have a problem.
According to Wikipedia,
a menstrual cup is type of feminine hygiene product which is usually made of medical grade silicone, shaped like a bell and is flexible. It is worn inside the vagina during menstruation to catch menstrual fluid (blood), and can be worn during the day and overnight. Full menstrual cups are removed from the vagina, emptied into the toilet or sink, washed and re-inserted.
I heard about the DivaCup a couple of years ago on a blog but the author of the post had yet to actually use it. I thought it sounded interesting, but since I'm sure I was pregnant at the time I didn't think much of it. I read about it one other time on a blog, but this author definitely did not use one and the entire post was full of comments like, "Can you believe this exists?" and "Ew, gross!" and "I would NEVER use one of those!" But let's face it, you might be thinking the same thing right now.
I'm not going to go into all of the technicalities of how to use a menstrual cup; everybody knows how to google. In short you do have to be okay with getting pretty intimate with your lady bits, but there's nothing wrong with that. I will tell you why I think its the best thing since…well since the last thing that made having a monthly period easier to manage. Probably tampons with applicators.*
1. You can leave it in for 10-12 hours and it won't leak or overflow or even be full. Or give you toxic shock syndrome. No leaking. Not at night, not on the heavy days, not ever. Once it is in position you are good to go.
2. Once you get the hang of it (it took me at most three times the first day I used it to get it exactly right) you won't have any idea it is even there. No string hanging out either.
3. Taking it out and emptying it is really easy. It is not hard to keep everything in the cup and avoid spilling. I haven't lost a drop yet and I'm a total newbie.
4. No more running out of tampons. I used to buy that stuff at Costco and had so many that I never ran out. Now I have no bulk shopping options. I'm sure there is some Amazon tampon subscribe and save I could do, but this is even easier. You need ONE for the whole cycle. I actually bought two so that I can have one in my bag in case I get caught by surprise and I'm out of the house, but if you are very regular you can just start wearing it when you expect your period to come.
5. Less trash. I did not switch to the DivaCup out of environmental concerns. Unlike the K-cups that we ditched recently, I wasn't using so many tampons that I felt compelled to reduce. It is a nice little bonus, but my trash concerns have more to do with my dog and eating trash. The two times I have had to pull a tampon from her butt because I forgot to close the lid and she ate them out of the trash were two times too many. Luckily the string came out first.
6. You will save money. Once cup lasts a long time. I read that originally DivaCup said you can use the same one for 20 years. The package insert now says that because it is a personal hygiene product you should replace it every year, but its pretty obvious that is just a legal, CYA move. The next sentence states that the life of the cup is different for everyone. Everything I have read in Amazon reviews, FAQs, blog posts indicates that these things last a LONG time.
So there you have it. At this point the only downside to this is it feels like my period has been here forever this month because I have been thinking about it a lot. Mostly about how great this product is and how I want to tell everyone about it, so now that I have I can get back to normal.
*I was curious about the history of feminine hygiene products, so I googled "history of menstrual products" or something and learned a few interesting facts. Women have used all kinds of things for that special time of the month. From tampons made of papyrus, to plain old rags ("on the rag"), to just wearing black underwear and bleeding all over it, to sanitary napkins pinned to the underwear, or (as I did recall from 'Are you there God, its me Margaret') held in place by a belt. Menstrual cups have actually been around since 1937 or something, but sales weren't so great. They came back on the market in the '50s, but were not a big hit. They are gaining more popularity now…maybe in thanks to social media and women sharing their experiences!

I've tried lots of different undereye concealers for my dark circles. This is the best product yet and one of the cheapest that I've purchased. I will definitely buy again.

I bought this without my research, i like that fact that iit moved with your face and thought that would be perfect for under eye circles as they tend to have crinkly texture. This IS AMAZING STUFF.
My circles are ridiculously bad, i think they are a mix of bad health and sleep deprivation, unless its hereditary. I'm glad i can fix them now.
You can achieve natural results with a good amount of coverage, with one application. But this concealer will let you have a second coating, and actually not get cakey, wrinkley or whatever. It is so good.

This concealer is practically bulletproof. If it can stay on in July Oklahoma humidity, I'll bet it can stay on anywhere. The pigmentation is great and it really does cover blemishes and/or scars.
It is a rather dry concealer, however, and can get cakey looking if you aren't careful with your blending. It somewhat settles into the fine lines underneath my eyes, but it's not the worst I've ever seen. If you have dry skin like me you should be careful with this concealer. Honestly I'd probably only use this on blemishes and scars as a spot concealer, I'm not real fond of using it under my eyes. It would probably be less cakey if you applied it under your foundation. Anyway, if you're oily skinned, I'd very much recommend this. The pigmentation and the way it stays on very much outweighs the cons of the product, at least in my opinion.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Tan, Neutral

This is a pretty good concealer. It is definitely drying. I would not use this under the eyes without moisturizing. It has better coverage than the mineral power one. Slightly chalky finish. I believe that this works well on blemishes.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Dry, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Brown
This has great coverage for a drugstore concealer but it just does not live up to its 24 hr no transfer promise. I find the Revlon Colorstay concealer stays on longer and is more water resistant compared to the Maybelline Superstay concealer, but the Revlon Colorstay didn't give me as much coverage and is not as buildable as Superstay is. This is a great concealer for good coverage and you can layer it on without it slipping off. It just doesn't 'superstay' on a person like me who moisturizes heavily before putting on makeup.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure

I really like this concealer. My favorite concealer is by clinique, but it's really expensive. This is my second favorite. It has really great coverage and evens out my skin really well. It does a decent job of covering even the worst blemishes. And it lives up to its name, it really does last a long time. It comes in a really small bottle though, so it doesn't last too long. And, like most concealers, even when there is some left in the bottle, you can't get to it because the stupid wand doesn't dip all the way in. I find that if you microwave it for a couple seconds you can get more out of it (just don't melt the bottle). Overall, this is my favorite concealer that can be bought at a grocery store or drugstore. I will definitely purchase again.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is honestly the best concealer you can get at the drugstore. Maybelline makes the best concealers anyway, but this SuperStay is really amazing. I have some acne but a lot of acne scarring and honestly, I can use this without even using foundation. It sticks for about 8 hours for me and my oily skin.
PROS: It lasts! It covers the blemishes instead of emphasizing them because it's so creamy, and it is an amazing price.
CONS: I don't love the wand, but I use a foundation brush anyway so that's kind of a mood point. Also I wish the tube was bigger.
OVERALL: I have bought this again and again because it works. I would definitely try this before the Mineral Power concealer. Great buy.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

This product is a god-send. After a course of Accutane, I have been left with severe acne scarring, and have tried many, many, many concealers to hide this: Mac, Makeup Forever, Cover FX, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Vichy Dermablend as well as countless drugstore brands. In the end, I always come back to this one. It has the best coverage of any concealer I have tried, and it does so without the dark-ish green cast I normally get from other concealers. With this concealer, I feel like I don't need to wear foundation, only powder. The staying power of this is so-so - for someone with oily skin like me, 24 hours is a joke. Also, I have not been able to find this in Canada (where I live), so everytime we head down to the States, I stock up. Overall, a great, cheap, HG product for me! I wear this in the color, Cream.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
Great product for redness and blemishes. I wouldn't use this under eyes as it could cake up easily and is VERY opaque. I use this in the fairest color, and while it's a little too fair, it works for me just fine. It lasts and lasts all day on my oily skin and doesn't rub off. My skin isn't too badly scarred, but it helps out tremendously. I would recommend this to both girls who need a little bit of coverage and girls who need a lot. Versatile, cute packaging, a reasonable price and performs great. (Even lasts through the snowy winter and humid summer I have here!)
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

I love this concealer! I have both this one and the mineral power one and I prefer this one.
This one covers acne scars, pimples, and redness really well because its so opaque. After you apply it, it really STAYS put. But you have to blend it quickly because it does set.
If you're looking for an under-eye concealer I would say get the Mineral power one but if you need more coverage for blemishes get this one!
EDIT: This is really hard to blend and after your foundation or powder has worm off slightly the concealer is really obvious and oxidizes.

No. 17 UCLA falls 27-24 to Stanford to win Pac-12By JOSH DUBOW, AP Sports Writer Saturday, Dec 1, 2012
STANFORD, Calif. (AP)—For all the improvement UCLA showed in its first year under coach Jim Mora, the Pac-12 season had the same ultimate ending: a title game loss that cost the Bruins a trip to the Rose Bowl.
Freshman kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn missed a 52-yard field goal attempt in the closing minute of the 17th-ranked Bruins' 27-24 loss to No. 8 Stanford in the conference championship game Friday night.
Kevin Hogan led the way for the Cardinal, throwing a touchdown pass and running for another score.
"We need to mourn a little bit," Mora said. "We need to get over this one. We poured it out there today and we came up short. We'll eventually move on but this will sting for a while. You don't get that close and lose and not have it hurt."
Hogan threw for 155 yards and ran for 47 yards, but his biggest play came on third-and-15 early in the fourth quarter when Drew Terrell got past the UCLA defense and caught a tying 26-yard touchdown pass.
"There was a communication breakdown," Mora said. "We busted the coverage at a very inopportune time."
Jordan Williamson kicked his second field goal from 36 yards with 6:49 remaining for the go-ahead score, helping Stanford secure its first conference title since the 1999 season.
The Cardinal wrapped it up when Fairbairn's try went wide left with 34 seconds remaining. This marked the second straight year UCLA lost in the Pac-12 title game, but it was far more competitive than a year ago when it lost to Oregon 49-31 under Rick Neuheisel as part of a 6-8 season.
That just made the defeat more painful.
"I couldn't even watch the last seconds of the game," UCLA defensive lineman Datone Jones said. "We won with him, we're going to lose with him. That's my brother and we have his back. It just hurts."
Many of the sparse crowd announced at 31,622 rushed the field. Players, wearing their all-black uniforms, danced on the sideline and confetti flew from a stage erected on the field.
What a way to ring in the post-Andrew Luck Era: The Cardinal (11-2) will play the winner of the Big Ten title game between Nebraska and Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.
"Character," said Stanford's David Shaw, the Pac-12 coach of the year in his first two seasons. "Even when we don't play well, we still play hard. Our guys played with such heart. We made plays when we needed to make plays."
UCLA's Brent Hundley threw for 177 yards and a costly interception that set up a Stanford touchdown. He still almost brought the Bruins (9-4) back with help from Johnathan Franklin, who ran for 194 yards and set the single-season rushing mark (1,700 yards) and career all-purpose mark (4,887 yards) at UCLA.
"It hurts definitely," Franklin said. "In life you have your bumps, you have your trials but all you can do is look forward."
Hogan completed 16 of 22 passes to beat a fourth ranked opponent in his fourth straight start since unseating Josh Nunes at quarterback. After the Cardinal rolled past UCLA 35-17 last Saturday at the Rose Bowl, it took all 60 minutes for another victory in the rare rematch.
The heavy rain that pounded the Bay Area most of the day relented most of the night, and a tarp covered the field until about 3 hours before kickoff. Scattered showers still made the grass a bit slick.
The surface never seemed to slow down the Bruins, who ran for 284 yards. It was the most yards rushing allowed this season by Stanford, which yielded 198 in an overtime victory at Oregon two weeks earlier.
No matter.
The Cardinal won their seventh straight game to advance to their third different BCS bowl in as many seasons—a run that began behind coach Jim Harbaugh and Luck, the No. 1 overall pick of the Indianapolis Colts. Before that, the Cardinal had only won 10 games three times—1992, 1940, 1926—in program history.
The Bruins made the final road block more difficult than expected.
UCLA converted a pair of third downs before Franklin burst through the middle for a 51-yard touchdown on the opening drive.
Stanford answered in a hurry when Hogan ran 14 yards on a read-option keeper to convert a long third down, fullback Ryan Hewitt bulldozed through the line on a fourth-and-1 and Stepfan Taylor took a short pass 33 yards, to inches shy of the goal line. On the next play, Hogan faked a handoff and rolled untouched for the tying touchdown.
Taylor finished with 78 yards to eclipse Darrin Nelson's school rushing record of 4,169. Taylor, an outgoing senior, has 4,212 for his career.
Before the Cardinal offense even found their seats on the sideline, Hundley ran 48 yards and scrambled for a 5-yard TD to put UCLA back in front, 14-7. With the Bruins about to go ahead two scores, Ed Reynolds intercepted Hundley's pass and returned it 80 yards to set up Taylor's short TD run.
Williamson kicked a 37-yard field goal as the first half expired to give Stanford a 17-14 lead. Fairbairn answered with a field goal from 31 yards on UCLA's opening drive of the second half.
Franklin capped a 12-play, 80-yard drive with a 20-yard TD run late in the third quarter. That gave the Bruins a 24-17 lead but they couldn't close it out and earn their first Rose Bowl bid since after the 1998 season.
"If anybody thought we'd be sitting here tonight with less than 45 seconds on the clock and potential to tie it and even win it, I'm not sure anyone would have taken that bet," Mora said. "Obviously, we have a lot of work to do to become the team we want to be."
The crowd was the smallest at 50,000-seat Stanford Stadium since the Cardinal drew 30,626 against Sacramento State on Sept. 4, 2010.

Daylong symposium to examine 'Nuclear Asia'
One year after North Korea's announcement of a successful nuclear weapon test, an international panel of experts will gather at the University to discuss global implications of rising nuclear threats in Asia.
"Nuclear Asia: A Symposium on Policy, Proliferation, and Weapons Research in the Cold War and Beyond" is set for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 12 in 228 Bowen-Thompson Student Union. Open to the public, the program will include speakers from the National University of Singapore, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Johns Hopkins University and the Tokyo Institute of Technology, among others.
Symposium chair Dr. Walter Grunden, history, will also make a presentation, "From Hungnam to Yongbyon: Myths and Facts about the Origins of North Korea's Nuclear Program," from 2-2:30 p.m. The author of Secret Weapons and World War II: Japan in the Shadow of Big Science, Grunden specializes in the history of weapons of mass destruction, particularly focusing on the Pacific War and the Cold War era.
The symposium will begin with a 9 a.m. welcome and opening remarks from Dr. Jeffrey Grilliot, director of global initiatives and co-director of the Global Village learning community.
From 9:20-9:50 a.m., University Distinguished Alumna Hiroko Nakamoto will discuss the Hiroshima Gateway Project—involving refurbishment of the Hiroshima railway station as a Gateway to Peace—and BGSU's Peace Studies Program. The program's curriculum has been developed with funds from a $1 million gift from Nakamoto, a 1954 fine arts graduate who went on to a distinguished career in architectural interior design. A portion of the gift has also gone toward enhancing the Asian Studies Program
Half-hour presentations will start at 10 a.m. with an introduction to nuclear weapons history by Dr. Mark Walker of Union College. Specializing in nuclear research in Nazi Germany, Walker has written extensively on the subject and was recently featured on a PBS "NOVA" documentary about heavy water production under the Third Reich.
Following Walker on the program will be:
• Dr. Masakatsu Yamazaki of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, on "Pacifying Anti-American Sentiments: Introducing 'Peaceful Atoms' to Japan after the Bikini Incident, 1953-55," at 10:30 a.m. Yamazaki is recognized as a leading scholar in the history of science in Japan and, especially, as the foremost authority on Japan's nuclear research during wartime.
• Dr. Zaiqing Fang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute for the History of Natural Sciences. Fang will address "The Role of the USSR in the Development of China's Nuclear Program" at 11 a.m.
• Dr. Zuoyue Wang of the California Polytechnic Institute, on "The U.S. and China's Atomic Bomb," at 11:30 a.m. Wang specializes in the science history of the United States and China.
• Dr. John DiMoia of the National University of Singapore, on "Atoms for Sale: AERI (Atomic Energy Research Institute) and the Origins of the South Korean Nuclear Program, 1955-65," at 2:30 p.m.
• Dr. Dong-Won Kim of Johns Hopkins University, on "The Role of Academia in the Nuclear Development of South and North Korea, 1953-79," at 3 p.m. Kim is among the few academic experts on science and nuclear research in the Koreas.
• Dr. Jahnavi Phalkey of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Phalkey will address "Science and Development: The Organization of Post-war Nuclear Research in India, 1946-56" at 3:30 p.m.
The symposium will close with a 4 p.m. panel discussion of the impact of North Korea's October 2006 nuclear test, recent developments and policy implications for the Asia and the United States.
A free buffet lunch is available to the first 50 registrants, while a social hour and dinner beginning at 6:15 p.m. is $25 per person. Registration forms for both events are on the symposium Web site: www.bgsu.edu/departments/history/nukesinasia/page 36384.html. The registration deadline is Oct. 8.
Symposium sponsors are BGSU's Hiroko Nakamoto Endowment Fund; Asian Studies and Peace Studies programs; College of Arts and Sciences; Graduate College; Graduate Program in Policy History, and history and political science departments.
For more information, visit the Web site, call the history department at 2-2030 or email Grunden at firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Comments about Shure PGX14 Wireless Guitar/Bass System:
I just got the PGX14 Wireless System and let me tell you. This is the best move anybody could take!! for the price you can't go wrong. And I'ts sound is crystal clear!! I Recommend this System to anybody thinking of changing to a Wireless System!! AWSOME!!!!!
Comments about Shure PGX14 Wireless Guitar/Bass System:
I picked up the PGX4 guitar system originally last spring. I love the simplicity of set up and the crystal clear tone. The range is awesome also, no interference at all. I have not had a chance to play with other guitarists who use wireless, so I don't know if there is an issue there. The main problem I had was that the transmitter (after about 3 months) would not shut off or sync with the receiver. I thought it was a battery issue because every set of batteries I put in would produce a red light which according to the manual is low batteries. I finally had to take the whole thing back and get a new set. So far no problems I hope that Shure has fixed the problem with my new one. Otherwise it has been great, but not worth it if you have transmitter problems. This would have sucked at a gig. If you own one of these always bring a guitar cord just in case.
Comments about Shure PGX14 Wireless Guitar/Bass System:
I have just purchased the Shure guitar/bass wireless kit and I must say that it works beautifully. No cut outs, no loss in frequency...just crystal clear performance. I have taken note of the apparent on/off problems people have encountered with the PGX1 and I will watch closely. So far so good. The system is really easy to setup and run. Turn it on, focus the transmitter towards the receiver, press the sync button on the inside of the battery compartment and away you go. The Shure unit is universal and securely fits on your guitar strap or your belt* (*which is not the greatest setup if you move around a lot).To prove a point to the band, during a tune we were practicing, I travelled upstairs to my son's 3rd floor bedroom while the band played in the basement. The performance of the unit remained as clear as can be. We were all impressed.So far I'm truly impressed and I hope that it lasts. Here's hoping for pure satisfaction!
