QUOTE Nov 29, 2012 9:38 AM GMTDoes anyone here know anyone that has actually learned a language from scratch without going to the country of the language in which they are studying?
I know many people who have taken like 6 years of Spanish, French, or German but can barely speak any of it. Is it possible to learn languages without going to the country?
Has anyone met anyone who has done so? I've only met two Americans who have learned a foreign language as an adult but they only learned because they had been immersed in the culture.
Do you think learning languages without being immersed is impossible???

Light and dark-skinned stereotypes are nothing new. It doesn't matter what race, people associate certain behaviors and characteristics with skin tone. Listen to "The D.L. Hughley Show" to hear them discuss the most common light and dark-skinned stereotypes. Plus, hear about a study conducted to prove this behavior exist.

Congressman Chuck Fleischmann is set to start a summer-long tour to discuss his proven conservative voting record with voters of the newly drawn 3rd District.
"I have enjoyed getting to know many new friends over the last few months as I have toured around the District introducing myself to new voters, and continuing my job as the congressman of the folks I already represent. I look forward to beginning a conversation with the 3rd District about my conservative voting record and the promises I have kept while in Washington," Rep. Fleischmann said.
"I promised to repeal ObamaCare every chance I got, and I have. I promised to cut government spending, and in my first year I voted to cut $1.7 trillion. I promised to work for jobs, and I have introduced my own plan and legislation to do so. I promised to rein in government agencies like the EPA, and I have voted to. I look forward to this summer-long tour as I let voters know I am a proven conservative they can always count on in Congress."

I think we are all in agreement that there has been recent developments in regards to Hz and PWM controllers that are probably consistent issues for both CCFL and LED back lighting. The reason your Mac's are worse is becuase LED compared to CCFL is like a sharp stick in the eye by comparison, most likely due to high levels of blue light. It's unlikely it has anything to do with the OS, you should try some of the new LED TV's or light bulbs and see how you fair there, if they bother you then you know it is PWM or Blue light spectrum or both. I think it is both for me.
Gareth Jones6 Jun 12, 2013 9:54 AM
in response to cadette61
I fear there is something about the OS, as I have hooked my Macbook up to a CCFL monitor and it still wrecks my eyes. My old XP laptop is fine however.
I'm interested to know where the cutoff point is in terms of operating systems, because I may consider getting/building a Vista PC if it is going to be ok. My (possibly flawed) memory of earlier in this thread though was that there was a BIOS update which rendered Vista unusable?
Microsoft is due to withdraw support from XP next year, so probably not worth investing too much in a machine with this on.
Jessiah1 Jun 12, 2013 10:06 AM

PWM controller, pulsing to control dimming and power consumption. That would affect any monitor you hooked up to, that or the Hz being set below 75. On some computers you can set the Hz rate and some you cannot, many of us here have a theory that PWM is responsible for many of our issues. If you add that with harsh blue back lighting the result can be unbearable for some, I am one of those
Gareth Jones6 Jun 12, 2013 12:19 PM
in response to Jessiah1
My external monitor gives me the option of 60 or 75 hz, while the laptop monitor doesn't give me the option. Are there any CCFL monitors I can get that will offer me more options? Preferably ones that don't cost hundreds of pounds/dollars? And are there any settings I can look for to change PWM controller, pulsing to control dimming and power consumption?
In an ideal world I guess some tech whizz could come up with a programme to allow us to change these settings?:
mvanier Jun 12, 2013 1:10 PM
in response to Gareth Jones6
I think there is some confusion here about what the Hz in 60/75 Hz refers to. Back in the days of CRT (cathode-ray tube) monitors, the refresh rate was very relevant to eyestrain, as the only time you would see light on the screen is when the phosphors were stimulated by the electron beam. A 60 Hz refresh rate would lead to visible strobing for many people (including me). I vividly recall how much better it was when I figured out how to adjust the refresh rate from 60 Hz to 85 Hz; it was like night and day and almost all my eyestrain went away. On an LCD monitor (however it's backlit, LED or CCFL), the refresh rate only refers to how often the LCDs get updated. If they are showing e.g. a solid color that isn't changing, it really doesn't matter, and LCD refresh rates have almost no effect on eyestrain that I've heard of. What matters is PWM of the LED backlight or the CCFL backlight, as this determines how constant the light source appears even when the screen image is static. There are monitors that have 120Hz LCD refresh rates, but I would bet money they would not fix your eyestrain issues.

@Jessiah, may I know where did you get your spectacles coated with Crizal Prevencia?
I tried to look for it around the shops where I live (Hong Kong), and seems like they don't have it as the product is too new.
By the way, from what I read about the details of the Crizal Prevencia, it claims that it targets the wavelengths between 415 - 455nm (435nm +/- 20nm), which, hurts the retinal cells most.
Then, according to the iPhone 5 / new iPad / iPhone 4S spectrographs made in here:
http://dot-color.com/2012/09/27/how-does-the-iphone-5s-color-saturation-measure- up-against-apples-claims/
The blue spike of iPhone 5 and the new iPad are slightly to the left by around 10nm compared with the iPhone 4S.
But if you draw a vertical line at around the 440-450nm wavelength (on the white or blue spectrographs), due to the steep blue spike, it looks like the iPhone 5 and new iPad are quite a lot brighter than then iPhone 4S in that particular wavelength.
That appears to be in line with my personal experience, I feel the iPhone 4S to be a lot more comfortable than the iPhone 5. I don't experience the new iPad long enough to have a good idea on it though.
Perhaps the problem with the new harsh and ultra bright bluish LED is that they have too much blue at the 415-455nm wavelength? Just a thought.

Eric, I have emailed my contact at Crizal and I will let you know what he has to say. I agree also the 5 is sooooo much worse for me than the 4S, someone using an Ihpone 5 a few feet away in my peripheral can affect me where the 4S is almost tolerable in my peripheral even up close. My expereince with the Provencia coating was tested heavily this weekend on a trip to Chicago for a wedding, I am currently writting this up for my blog, Southwest airlines has remodeled all of their interiors with LED lighting and it is super bright

I have hit my head a few times pretty hard blacking out twice and I would assume I have probably had one without medical confirmation. I have had an MRI done and they have found no issues with my brain such as swelling or aneurysms.
Eric Leung1 Jun 20, 2013 10:44 AM
in response to Jessiah1
Jessiah1: Thanks a lot for checking for me!!
I have just read your blog, from your symptoms, I guess I have very similar light sensitivity like you do! Just perhaps a little less serious.
I too could sense the discomfort from iPhone 5 even at distance. And I'm surprised to see that you mentioned about your voice when feeling uncomfortable with LEDs, as I also have throat issues when looking at certain kind of LED lights!! (I don't usually tell others about this as it just sound so weird that people don't believe.) Though fortunately, my voice don't get affected like you did.
Seems like the Prevencia have positive effect in your case! That's a very good start to a solution! Now I wonder why it doesn't help you for longer than 15min. Perhaps a small amount of LED light rays got in from the side of your spectacles? Perhaps a stronger coating is required? Perhaps the coating (which blocks 415-455nm) doesn't fully block the spectrum that your eyes are sensitive to?
Nevertheless, it seems we are starting to have a clearer explanation on how exactly those harsh bright blue LEDs are causing the troubles.
Jessiah1 Jun 20, 2013 11:21 AM
in response to Eric Leung1
I agree, it is difficult to gain acceptance for our issue and there are people who can be very derogatory towards us in their beliefs that we are all "Crazy". It is very real and very life debilitating and only get worse the more LED lights become the new source of light in all things. As for the Prevencia not working for long periods of time I have a theory or two however I am no scientist and Crizal does have scientists researching this very thing.
I would say in my opinion that the issue may be two fold: Some sort of flicker or imitting of UV or frequency and the Blue light spectrum. I believe if there is something bothering you about the light related to flicker then using a brighter blue/white light source will magnify that issue ten fold.
If you go back through this thread there are numerous highly intelligent opinions about flicker VS. spectrum or perhaps both.
Perhaps the next generation of anti-glare coating will be more effective, we can hope

Interesting experiment: Those who usually get pain in eyes after 15 minutes with screens could test if they can double their time without pain by closing one eye at the very beginning (or covering it with something). After 15-30 minutes of use will both eyes hurt? Even if only one was used?
Sapsombat Jun 22, 2013 10:45 AM
in response to RMartin111
I started using new iMac 27" in the beginning of April and immediately I got severe eye problems, headache, dizziness, aching eyes etc
My first thought was that it has to do with the new screen, but then I refused to believe it. The problem came worse and I went for an eye specialist, at a well known private clinic. After all tests the outcome was that there's absolutely no defect in my eyesight. I went for blood tests to be sure I don't have any thyroid related problems, but everything was normal.
Now the problem comes worse and worse. First it only appeared while working at my iMac (at home), then it started to come up also at work (basic PC) and now it can suddenly start anywhere - when using my iPhone or even without any digital device. Sometimes it really hurts to look anything and I can feel my eyes in a bad way all the time.
I would like to read this thread through more carefully, but in this condition it's not so appealing. I don't know what to do.
Eric Leung1 Jun 22, 2013 10:14 PM
in response to Jessiah1
Jessiah1: It's glad to know that there is a company (Essilor / Crizal) trying to fix this issue. I hope in the near future we could identify a clear cause of the problem, and could get back to Apple so that they could fix it in their future products.
I think, there are currently too much different information in this forum that even if Apple wants to fix, there's no clear answer on what to fix...
Eric Leung1 Jun 22, 2013 10:35 PM
in response to Sapsombat
Sapsombat: I have spent quite a bit of time playing with the latest 27" iMac at Apple Store in the past. It appears that it has some "snow flickering" problem, but the "bright harsh blue LED" problem that I talked about in recent posts doesn't seem very bad for this computer.
I would suggest first to calibrate the color of your screen. Either with a professional calibration device or using your eye (in System Preference -> Displays -> Color -> Calibrate -> "Expert Mode").
I have tried eye calibrating a few iMac 27" at the Apple Stores, and it appears the contrast could improve slightly to the extent that the texts becomes slightly sharper and lowered the "snow flickering" effect.
Another thing to try would be change the display to a lower resolution. It seems to help some times.
But since you appear to feel uncomfortable looking any screens now, I guess your eyes are over stressed... It would probably be best to give them enough rest first. Try spending a weekend outdoors without looking at any devices with a backlight (I know that's almost impossible, but try to minimize the time!) and have plenty of sleep. That's how I "reset" my eyes when they are over stressed.

Big 12 helmet stickers: Week 8
By Max Olson
Recognizing the best and brightest from the Big 12 in Week 8:
Josh Stewart
, Oklahoma State:
No matter who's playing quarterback for the Cowboys, they've got one of the best go-to receivers in Stewart. TCU had no answers for him on Saturday. He hauled in 10 passes for 141 yards and got the scoring started late in the first quarter with wild 95-yard punt return touchdown.
Oklahoma Sooners
That's about as good a bounce-back performance as you could ask for from the Sooners, following last week's Texas loss. After the Jayhawks went ahead 13-0, they were held to 39 total yards on their final 10 drives of the day, including -2 passing yards. An inept day for KU, no question, but just what Oklahoma needed this week.
Bryce Petty
, Baylor:
Petty threw for 343 yards and two scores on 23-of-31 passing and added a rushing touchdown in the Bears' 71-7 win over Iowa State. He had six completions of 20-plus yards and once again provided
Antwan Goodley
Tevin Reese
with 100-plus yard games. For a guy who'd never started a game entering 2013, he continues to impress.
Jace Amaro
, Texas Tech:Ā
The best tight end in the country played up to the hype at West Virginia, catching nine passes for 136 yards and two touchdowns, including the score to finish off Tech's 37-27 win. He's now the No. 2 receiver in the Big 12 and leads all tight ends nationally in catches and yards, but Amaro had only one touchdown entering the day.
Baylor returners:
For perhaps the first time in school history, Baylor got two returns for touchdowns on Saturday. The first was a 52-yard punt return from
Levi Norwood
that looked stopped 12 yards in until he cut across the field. In the game's final minute, the Bears responded to Iowa State's last-minute touchdown with a 97-yard kick return from
Corey Coleman

Ant. 1 Lord, you are our Savior; we will praise you for ever.
Psalm 44
The misfortunes of God's people
We triumph over all these things through him who loved us (Romans 8:37).
We heard with our own ears, O God,
our fathers have told us the story
of the things you did in their days,
you yourself, in days long ago.
To plant them you uprooted the nations:
to let them spread you laid peoples low.
No sword of their own won the land;
no arm of their own brought them victory.
It was your right hand, your arm
and the light of your face: for you loved them.
It is you, my king, my God,
who granted victories to Jacob.
Through you we beat down our foes;
in your name we trampled our aggressors.
For it was not in my bow that I trusted
nor yet was I saved by my sword:
it was you who saved us from our foes,
it was you who put our foes to shame.
All day long our boast was in God,
and we praised your name without ceasing.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
– as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. Lord, you are our Savior; we will praise you for ever.
Ant. 2 Spare us, O Lord; do not bring your own people into contempt.
Yet now you have rejected us, disgraced us:
you no longer go forth with our armies.
You make us retreat from the foe
and our enemies plunder us at will.
You make us like sheep for the slaughter
and scatter us among the nations.
You sell your own people for nothing
and make no profit by the sale.
You make us the taunt of our neighbors,
the laughing stock of all who are near.
Among the nations, you make us a byword,
among the peoples a thing of derision.
All day long my disgrace is before me:
my face is covered with shame
at the voice of the taunter, the scoffer,
at the sight of the foe and the avenger.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
– as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. Spare us, O Lord; do not bring your own people into contempt.
Ant. 3 Rise up, O Lord, and save us, for you are merciful.
This befell us though we had not forgotten you;
though we had not been false to your covenant,
though we had not withdrawn our hearts;
though our feet had not strayed from your path.
Yet you have crushed us in a place of sorrows
and covered us with the shadow of death.
Had we forgotten the name of our God
or stretched our hands to another god
would not God have found this out,
he who knows the secrets of the heart?
It is for you that we face death all day long
and are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
Awake, O Lord, why do you sleep?
Arise, do not reject us for ever!
Why do you hide your face from us
and forget our oppression and misery?
For we are brought down low to the dust;
our body lies prostrate on the earth.
Stand up and come to our help!
Redeem us because of your love!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
– as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Lord, rise up and come to our aid; with your strong arm lead us to freedom, as you mightily delivered our forefathers. Since you are the king who knows the secrets of our hearts, fill them with the light of truth.
Ant. Rise up, O Lord, and save us, for you are merciful.
Sacred Silence (indicated by a bell)
A moment to reflect and receive in our hearts the full resonance of the voice of the Holy Spirit and to unite our personal prayer more closely with the word of God and public voice of the Church.
You will hear the word from my mouth.
– You will tell others what I have said.
First reading
From the book of Deuteronomy
9:7-21, 25-29
The sins of the people and the mediation of Moses
Moses spoke to the people, saying:
"Bear in mind and do not forget how you angered the Lord, your God, in the desert. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you arrived in this place, you have been rebellious toward the Lord. At Horeb you so provoked the Lord that he was angry enough to destroy you, when I had gone up the mountain to receive the stone tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you. Meanwhile I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights without eating or drinking, till the Lord gave me the two tablets of stone inscribed, by God's own finger, with a copy of all the words that the Lord spoke to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
"Then, at the end of the forty days and forty nights, when the Lord had given me the two stone tablets of the covenant, he said to me, 'Go down from here now, quickly, for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have become depraved; they have already turned aside from the way I pointed out to them and have made for themselves a molten idol. I have seen now how stiff-necked this people is,' the Lord said to me. 'Let me be, that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under the heavens. I will then make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.'
"When I had come down again from the blazing, fiery mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in both my hands, I saw how you had sinned against the Lord, your God: you had already turned aside from the way which the Lord had pointed out to you by making for yourselves a molten calf! Raising the two tablets with both hands I threw them from me and broke them before your eyes. Then, as before, I lay prostrate before the Lord for forty days and forty nights without eating or drinking, because of all the sin you had committed in the sight of the Lord and the evil you had done to provoke him. For I dreaded the fierce anger of the Lord against you: his wrath would destroy you. Yet once again the Lord listened to me.
"With Aaron, too, the Lord was deeply angry, and would have killed him had I not prayed for him also at that time. Then, taking the calf, the sinful object you had made, and fusing it with fire, I ground it down to powder as fine as dust, which I threw into the wadi that went down the mountainside.
"Those forty days, then, and forty nights, I lay prostrate before the Lord, because he had threatened to destroy you.
"This was my prayer to him: O Lord God, destroy not your people, the heritage which your majesty has ransomed and brought out of Egypt with your strong hand. Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Look not upon the stubbornness of this people nor upon their wickedness and sin, lest the people from whose land you have brought us say, 'The Lord was not able to bring them into the land he promised them'; or 'Out of hatred for them, he brought them out to slay them in the desert.' They are, after all, your people and your heritage, whom you have brought out by your great power and with your outstretched arm."
RESPONSORY Exodus 32:11, 13, 14; 33:17
Moses pleaded with the Lord God, and said:
Why, O Lord, should your anger blaze against your people?
Turn from your burning wrath; remember Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
to whom you promised a land where milk and honey flow.
– So the Lord relented and held back the punishment with which he had threatened his people.
God said to Moses:
You have found favor with me; you are my intimate friend.
– So the Lord relented and held back the punishment with which he had threatened his people.
Second Reading
From the Introduction to the Devout Life by Saint Francis de Sales, bishop
Devotion must be practiced in different ways
When God the Creator made all things, he commanded the plants to bring forth fruit each according to its own kind; he has likewise commanded Christians, who are the living plants of his Church, to bring forth the fruits of devotion, each one in accord with his character, his station and his calling.
I say that devotion must be practiced in different ways by the nobleman and by the working man, by the servant and by the prince, by the widow, by the unmarried girl and by the married woman. But even this distinction is not sufficient; for the practice of devotion must be adapted to the strength, to the occupation and to the duties of each one in particular.
Tell me, please, my Philothea, whether it is proper for a bishop to want to lead a solitary life like a Carthusian; or for married people to be no more concerned than a Capuchin about increasing their income; or for a working man to spend his whole day in church like a religious; or on the other hand for a religious to be constantly exposed like a bishop to all the events and circumstances that bear on the needs of our neighbor. Is not this sort of devotion ridiculous, unorganized and intolerable? Yet this absurd error occurs very frequently, but in no way does true devotion, my Philothea, destroy anything at all. On the contrary, it perfects and fulfils all things. In fact if it ever works against, or is inimical to, anyone's legitimate station and calling, then it is very definitely false devotion.
The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them. True devotion does still better. Not only does it not injure any sort of calling or occupation, it even embellishes and enhances it.
Moreover, just as every sort of gem, cast in honey, becomes brighter and more sparkling, each according to its color, so each person becomes more acceptable and fitting in his own vocation when he sets his vocation in the context of devotion. Through devotion your family cares become more peaceful, mutual love between husband and wife becomes more sincere, the service we owe to the prince becomes more faithful, and our work, no matter what it is, becomes more pleasant and agreeable.
It is therefore an error and even a heresy to wish to exclude the exercise of devotion from military divisions, from the artisans' shops, from the courts of princes, from family households. I acknowledge, my dear Philothea, that the type of devotion which is purely contemplative, monastic and religious can certainly not be exercised in these sorts of stations and occupations, but besides this threefold type of devotion, there are many others fit for perfecting those who live in a secular state.
Therefore, in whatever situations we happen to be, we can and we must aspire to the life of perfection.
RESPONSORY Ephesians 4:32—5:1; Matthew 11:29
Be kind and compassionate to one another; forgive each other as God has forgiven you in Christ.
– Be imitators of God the Father who loves you as his own dear children.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me, for I am gentle and humble of heart.
– Be imitators of God the Father who loves you as his own dear children.
O God,
who for the salvation of souls willed
that the Bishop Saint Francis de Sales
become all things to all,
graciously grant that, following his example,
we may always display the gentleness of your charity
in the service of our neighbor.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
– Amen.
ACCLAMATION (only added when praying in community)
Let us praise the Lord.
– And give him thanks.

Ultimate JKA Server Restarter (Linux)
Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Do we REALLY need an application that just restarts a server?" Yes, actually, for this beast is not all as it seems. Before I begin, let me preface by stating
Show All
Show All
that this review will be applied both to the Linux and Windows versions, but due to our team not particularly being fluent in Linux, it will covers the Windows version only. [b]Linux server users are encouraged to give feedback in the comments.[/b] Now then, essentially what this application does is make your server a much more dynamic and efficient fishy. Though it requires a lot of reading and configuring, you will essentially have a hall monitor to make sure the server gets booted up, and also probably a handy feature for some of you: Dynamic map rotation. Sick of playing the same rotation each day? Configure the necessary rotation file and you can enjoy a nice diverse map list the next time you fire the server up! (Except me, I'll still be stuck on mp/FFA3 with the rest of the damned. ¬_¬) This seems like a pretty overdue mod, I reckon. Hopefully it's come within enough time for people to enjoy and abuse it.

The employees at a local medical marijuana dispensary say two men broke into their store, Nature's Way on North Academy, Saturday night. They say they're thankful for their good security and the quick response from the cops.
They believe the two men wanted to take them for all they had, but instead they got one stressful night.
"They didn't take anything; nothing was missing," Mark Cebula said.
But he says it wasn't for a lack of trying.
"It was almost like a movie scene," Cebula said.
It seems as though the crooks had a thought out plan. They gained access by going into the next door coin laundry, using their bathroom to gain access to the ceiling. From there they were able to climb over the tiles and break into the dispensary. Then things went downhill fast.
"The alarms are going off; because that alarm is pretty loud...they must have started panicking," Cebula said.
The dispensary locks up most of the marijuana at night in a safe. So Cebula believes worried and frustrated, the crooks just tried to get out, but things got worse for them. He says they tried leaving through the front, but probably saw the cops pulling up. Since many of the doors lock, they were stuck in the lobby.
"So they scurried back up in the ceiling in the first room to drop into this room," he said in the store's supply room. From there they got out the back door.
While they made it out without getting arrested, they were also without any valuables.
11 News spoke with the owners of the coin laundry. They unfortunately also have damage from the break-in. The crooks broke their sink and busted a door.
If you know anything about this crime, please call police or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

loyalkaspar Creates Broadcast Package for 'Morgan Spurlock Inside Man'
CNN recently tapped entertainment branding agency loyalkaspar to create a multi-platform marketing campaign for the second season of the popular CNN Original Series Morgan Spurlock Inside Man, hosted and produced by the Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker. Premiering Sunday, April 13th at 10:00 p.m. ET, the one-hour weekly series tackles a wide range of subjects that are part of the national conversation in the U.S., including personal privacy, income disparity, America's obsession with pets, and the big business of college athletics.
Season two of Morgan Spurlock Inside Man has the host embedded into each week's story, beginning with episode one, "Celebrity," in which he becomes a paparazzo to explore first-hand America's fixation on celebrity and sensationalism.
Led by Creative Director Anna Minkkinen, loyalkaspar worked with CNN's on-air promotion team to create a campaign encompassing digital and broadcast promos, key art, and rich media content for website takeovers. loyalkaspar also produced a customizable on-air graphics toolkit for the network's in-house broadcast design team to produce episodic promos.
"CNN encouraged us to highlight Morgan's distinctive personality and bring it to the forefront," says Minkkinen. "Morgan is charming, recognizable and affable – and ultimately, his every-man quality is the reason viewers tune in. Expressing the human side of their hosts is important to CNN, so it was rewarding to arrive at a creative solution that truly reflected the network brand."
"loyalkaspar has been a huge asset to the branding and positioning of several CNN Original Series titles," adds Whit Friese, CNN Vice President, On-Air Promotion. "Our latest collaboration was no exception. Anna and her team brought so many great ideas to the table, it was just a matter of picking from the best of the best. Thankfully, we found a way to leverage all of them in a smart, cohesive and engaging way. That's because loyalkaspar is the type of agency that can deliver the full package – from on-air to print – with creative integrity while making the whole process seamless."
A key element of Morgan Spurlock Inside Man is how Spurlock captures an authentic perspective of the subjects he explores by immersing himself into their worlds. For the key art, loyalkaspar visualized both Spurlock's personality and his ingenious means to getting the story. They found their solution in an iconic portrait of him layered in artifacts and clothing that represent the various worlds he inhabits during the season.
"We wanted to juxtapose the aesthetic of a classic portrait with playful artifacts that represent Morgan's journey," explains Minkkinen. "We shot Morgan in quite a few poses, and he brought great ideas in terms of the posture and expression you see in the final shot. While all of the strangely layered and mismatched elements he wears make it fun, the interplay still maintains the sense of a really smart guy telling real stories, who is game for anything."
loyalkaspar took Spurlock's cast of alter-egos up a notch for the on-air and digital promos. In them, we see various "Morgans" interact with one another in a playful manner.
"We had limited time to shoot Morgan, so the challenge was getting him in all of these costumes in one day, not to mention all of the line reads we wanted to tackle," recalls Minkkinen. "But Morgan was amazing - an absolute pro. He was very committed to being each character on set. His input on how to authentically style and present himself was invaluable."
loyalkaspar's VFX-driven promo concept required myriad shots of Spurlock, as well as careful planning for what was a post-intensive finish. Minkkinen shot each "Morgan" character with two cameras – one full-body and one up-close – carefully considering perspective and spatial relationship in order to seamlessly choreograph and composite them into a single frame.
"In some cases we planned the interactions you see, and in other cases we explored them in post," remarks Minkkinen. "It was a fun creative process making the scene come alive after the shoot. We were able to realize so many different scenarios by getting as much footage as possible on set."
Lastly, loyalkaspar conceived the season two tagline, "He's not just on it. He's in it," to place emphasis on what is special about Morgan's approach. It isn't just about covering a story, it's about taking it one step further and getting inside. They also reconfigured the show logo to put greater emphasis on Morgan's name. The digital campaign further pushes awareness and engagement in Spurlock's personality beyond the tagline with the phrase "Who is Morgan Spurlock?" where at the lockup, visitors encounter Morgan appearing as various characters and can click and learn more about the show.
"CNN trusted us to create a consistent campaign," concludes Minkkinen. "Whit [Friese] and [Creative Director, CNN On-Air Promotion] Sean [Houston] not only bring a great attitude and wealth of experience to the creative process, but they also ask good questions and consider every detail – all the way through to the details of the music and sound design."

I'll be taking 4 classes; Psycology, A&P, Micro, and a computer course.Do you think it's a good idea? Has anyone got any experience? I currently work part-time in a bar and hate it. That's not what I want for my daughter. And as far as my new baby she is awsome. Got her on a sleep schedule; only wakes up twice a night. She only cries when shes hungry or needs a diaper. She's perfectly content just hanging out.

In a variation on the usual format, this week the Merch Hunter will be getting on his soap-box, because there is something fundamentally broken with the way that studios and marketeers produce and release film posters these days, which has criminally devalued them as a really viable collectible compared to the Golden Age posters of yesteryear.
The problem is, posters are now seen as little more than a disposable marketing tool, rather than a celebration of the subject film: they are deemed an obligatory step in the pre-release campaign and in 90% of cases are given less consideration or dutiful care than the ridiculous promotional material that is sent out in bulk to bloggers (like Drive tooth-picks and Horrible Bosses beach-balls).
Film posters are supposed to be works of art: they should not be limited to cheap thrill character reveals or plot hints, because the trailer already exists for those reasons. Yet time and time again, modern studios feel the need to advance this risible idea of the poster as a "teaser", which not only makes it completely disposable after the event in most cases, but also fundamentally redefines what a poster is. Instead of something to be held in esteem, and given pride of place on cherished wall-space, what is left is a glorified jpeg, expressly aimed at the blogosphere and its hunger for new material no matter what the cost.
And thanks to this flagrant devaluation of the medium, the majority of todays films outlive the shelf life of their own posters. Rather than being timeless trophies, indicating a collector's allegiance to the film, or even better to the artwork and execution of the poster itself, the poster is now largely redundant as soon as the elements it teases or unveils are released in concrete when the film comes out.
Consider the raft of posters released in the run up to X-Men: First Class' official release, and in particular the God-awful silhouette series, and then imagine any of them on your own walls…. It's just distastefully wrong. They defy the completist objective that the poster should have, capturing the essence of the film in one snapshot that doesn't need to be anywhere near as vulgar or explicit as those two.
I had a conversation recently with a fellow film writer about which poster he should pick for his office, and it was no surprise that after a healthy and lengthy back and forth. None of the final suggested short-list that either of us drew up included a film from the last 20 years. Or at least not an official poster from that film. Below are my five picks, all of which are just as valuable to poster lovers in reproduced print form as in original…
1. Vertigo
2. Mean Streets
3. Manhattan
4. Anatomy of a Murder
5. Sunset Boulevard
All iconic images, and not a hint of over-zealous photo-shopping or alien-head-pasting about them. The only recent films close to making the short-list were The Dark Knight and The Iron Giant, but the former ultimately had to be discounted for the way Nolan's marketing team use posters to tease, and not just to celebrate, and The Iron Giant was pushed out because of the bottom third of the image which somewhat spoils the overall nostalgic feel.
The flip-side of course is that the fan-made and alternative film poster "industry" is now stronger than it ever has been before, and there are sites dedicated solely to these unofficial artists. In not too long a time at all, I will be bringing my favourite alternative movie posters in under the Merch Hunter banner, so please do look out for them.
So, what do you think? Which classic film posters would you have on your walls?

Domestic dispute leads to mud, manure slingingStaff Report | December 12,2012WEST HAVEN — A romantic dispute between two women on a dairy farm on Route 22A left one woman's minivan full of mud and manure and the other charged with a pair of misdemeanor criminal offenses, according to Vermont State Police.
State Police were called to a barn at 2474 Route 22A Tuesday afternoon for a reported fight.
At the farm, Jessica Drake told police she was shoved head-first into a pipe by Laura Richards, 39, and later left the barn to find the seats, dashboard and other interiors of her minivan filled with mud and manure.
Drake said Richards accused her of having an affair with her husband during the confrontation which other workers at the farm say they witnessed, according to a police affidavit.
Richards was arrested and charged with simple assault and unlawful mischief.

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — Cambodian police have fired live ammunition at protesting garment workers outside the capital, killing a bystander and injuring at least six protesters.
The human rights group Licadho says hundreds of workers from the SL Garment Processing (Cambodia) Ltd. Factory clashed Tuesday with about 1,000 riot police sent to block a march from the factory to the Phnom Penh residence of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
Am Sam Ath of Licadho says protesters threw rocks at the police, who responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition. A bystander was killed after being struck by a bullet while selling rice on the roadside.
Workers from the factory have been protesting for months for better working conditions and pay.
The factory makes clothing for Gap, H&M and other international brands.

hottest of the battle. His person was known to the soldiers, and his name rang with shouts along the line.
A few days after the battle of Bunker Hill eight brigadier-generals were appointed by Congress, the first of whom was Colonel Pomroy. He had held a commission under Sir William Johnson, and commanded a regiment of the provincial militia; but his appointment as senior brigadier causing some difficulty in the adjustment of questions of rank, he declined it, and soon after retired to his farm. In the following year, however, when New Jersey was overrun by the enemy, he headed the militia of his neighbourhood, who marched to the Hudson river, and never returned from that expedition. He died at Peekskill, in New York, in 1777.
JETHRO SUMNER was among the most active inhabitants of North Carolina in preparing for the Revolution, which he on an early day perceived was inevitable. By the Provincial Congress, which met at Halifax on the 4th of April, 1776, he was appointed colonel of the third regiment, and on the 9th of January, 1779, he was appointed a brigadier-general in the continental service.

4. I Am Beautiful In Every Single Way
In early 2009, radio host Laura Ingraham took an on-air shot at Meggie Mac's weight. Without hesitation, Meghan latched onto the opportunity to fashion herself into the latest role model for women. Which, of course, meant a Daily Beast column brimming with plus-size-friendly platitudes and a handful of painfully trite girl power tweets. "To all the curvy girls out there, don't let anyone make you feel bad about your body. I love my curves and you should love yours too," she tweeted. And then there was her guest hosting stint on "The View" in which she told Ingraham, "Kiss my fat ass!"
Knowing Meghan's track record of peddling silly body image cliches to women, her editors really weren't surprised when she proposed a chapter on the topic. But they were a bit taken aback when they read the awfully familiar passage Meghan submitted.
by Christina Aguilera <3 Meghan M. McCain <3
Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly it's hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, feel so ashamed
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
To all your friends you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Tryin' hard to fill the emptiness, the piece is gone
Left the puzzle undone, ain't that the way it is?
'Cause you are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down, oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh no
So don't you bring me down today
Unsure of whether to laugh or cry, Meghan's editors shook their heads, sighed, and wondered if her high six-figure advance would ever pay off. They shredded Meggie Aguilera's chapter on body image and agreed they would never again speak of The Plagiarism Incident. Just to be safe, they also changed the title of Meghan's book from Dirrty Sexy Politics to Dirty Sexy Politics. Law suit averted!

So sorry to hear this beanyberry. Can't really offer any advice as I have literally just had a chemical pregnancy (now on CD3), but I've added this thread to my favourites as I'd like to hear other people's experiences so I know what to expect . Not looking forward to another messed up cycle. Are you sure you're not just having a long fertile period.. or is that not possible? I hope you get some answers and that things turn out to be OK and you get your sticky bean soon.
I guess it depends on why you have a cp. I think mine were due to a too short luteal phase so I had really short but painful periods, with watery brown blood afterwards. After my cp in February I got my bfp, but it didn't stick. I've just had another cp in May with the same sort of AF and now I'm hoping to get another bfp. Both my cycles after my cp seemed normal, but I don't do opks, etc.
I've started taking supplements to lengthen my cycle so hopefully I'll get my bfp and my lining will be strong enough to support it.
Thanks Kizzybaby and JuliaLouise77 for reassuring us. I hope the same applies to us, BBB. You never know our luck hey?
Malk FC for your BFP this time!
I think I have a longish luteal phase as have a 30 day cycle with +OPK on CD13 so probably ov CD14 and a 16 day luteal phase.
So sorry this has happened to you :( Its horrible!! I had one in May just after the time needed for the all clear after an ectopic and was so happy to have fallen so fast. Sadly started bleeding 5 days after AF was due (I didn't test until I was due). I am not sure if I ovulated that cycle - I did get highs on cfm but no peak although I havn't had a peak yet.. but no +opk. We didn't even try that cycle - dtd on one of the high days - think I felt like crap and couldn't be bothered!
I think there is more of a chance of our bodies going back to normal and just putting out cycle out by a few days - although everyone is different, as frustrating as that is. Hoping this is our month!
GOOD LUCK xx
Hi beanieberry
I ovulated late too, got my +OPK on Monday (CD16) and last month it was CD13. Like you I'm just relieved to be seeing signs of ovulation after the chemical pregnancy, and 3 days late isn't bad. I'm now CD18 and had EWCM yesterday and cramps last night and today.
You've done all you can now so all there is to do is relax (ahem) and wait for the 2WW to pass.
Fingers crossed for both of us!

Recently I've been thinking and looking up how people create new cultivars, but cannot seem to get my head around the explanations on the interweb. Can anyone dumb it down for me a bit please? And also can say I for example create one and register it? I'm particularly interested in Echinacea cultivars.
Hi Ryan, I'll try and explain it by using an example. Say one of your echinaceas produced blue flowers but all of the rest were purple. You would sow all of the seeds from the blue one and grow them far away from any other echinaceas, preferably in a greenhouse with anti-insect netting to stop random pollination by bees etc and hand-pollinating them. When the new plants eventually flower, you would keep any offspring which also flowered in blue and discard all of the rest. Collect the seed and sow again, repeating the selection/discard process. After several years (it could take many years) virtually all of the plants will produce blue flowers and at that point you have a stable cultivar. One problem in doing this is that your original blue Echinacea may have happen to have some sort of genetic weakness (say prone to mildew) and you would be breeding this weakness into the new cultivar. There are ways around that by crossing back with a non-blue Echinacea and then going through the selection process again. All in all it can be a lot of work to get to a stage where you could sell the seed commercially (if that is your goal.)
However, there is an alternative as echinaceas are perennial: If you have a special plant, keep dividing it - all of the divisions are effectively clones so you can multiply numbers that way.

Derrick Pouliot
Weyburn Saskatchewan
Eligible for draft:
1st round (8th overall), 2012
208 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
2009-10: The first overall pick in the 2009 WHL Bantam Draft (by Portland), Derrick Pouliot made a brief appearance with the Winterhawks, playing seven games, while spending the bulk of the season with the Moose Jaw Warriors Midget AAA team in Saskatchewan. Pouliot had 1 assist and was an even plus/minus in his limited stint with Portland. In 43 games with the Warriors he scored 14 goals with 29 assists and 38 penalty minutes. In four playoff games he had 2 assists and 4 penalty minutes.
2010-11: Pouliot skated in 66 games for Portland as a WHL rookie and played for Canada West in the 2011 U17 World Hockey Challenge. Part of a deep and talented defense corps for the Winterhawks, who had the league's third-best record and reached the playoff finals, Pouliot scored 5 goals with 25 assists and was plus-13 with 38 penalty minutes. In 21 playoff games, he scored 1 goal with 3 assists and was plus-3 with 16 penalty minutes. Pouliot played in five games for Canada West and had 3 assists with 2 penalty minutes at the WHC.
2011-12: In Pouloit's second season, the Winterhawks slipped to second in the U.S. Division, finishing two points behind Tri-City, but again reached the WHL Finals. In 72 regular season games, Pouliot scored 11 goals with 48 assists and was plus-15 with 79 penalty minutes. In 16 playoff games entering the finals, he scored 3 goals with 10 assists and was plus-5 with 16 penalty minutes. Pouliot was ranked 12th amongst North American skaters in Central Scouting's final rankings prior to the 2012 NHL Draft.
2012-13: Pouliot signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Penguins in September of 2012. He made his pro hockey debut in the AHL playoffs following an extended post-season with the WHL's Portland Winterhawks. Pouliot made his only AHL appearance with Wilkes-Barre Scranton on June 1st, skating in Game 5 of the Penguins' series against Syracuse, and was -2 with no points nor penalty minutes. A nagging ankle injury limited Pouliot to 44 games for Portland during the regular season. He scored 9 goals with 36 assists and was was +35 with 60 penalty minutes. Pouliot played a key role in the post-season when the Winterhawks captured their first WHL title and reached the Memorial Cup championship game against Halifax. In 21 WHL playoff games he scored 4 goals with 16 assists and was +9 with 12 penalty minutes. Pouliot scored 2 goals with 5 assists, finishing -4 with 10 penalty minutes, in five Memorial Cup games.
2013-14: Pouliot returned to Portland after attending training camp with the Penguins and skated for Canada in the 2014 World Juniors. In his fourth season with the Winterhawks he won the Bill Hunter Trophy as the WHL's top defenseman and was named the top defenseman in Canada major junior hockey. Pouliot scored 17 goals with 53 assists in 58 regular season games and was +40 with 74 penalty minutes. The Winterhawks finished first in the U.S. Division and lost to Memorial Cup champion Edmonton in the WHL finals. Pouliot scored 5 goals with 27 assists and was +8 with 13 penalty minutes in 21 playoff games. In seven games a the World Juniors he scored 1 goal with 4 assists and was +2 with 8 penalty minutes. Canada finished fourth in the tournament; losing 2-1 to Russia in the bronze medal game.
Talent Analysis
Pouliot is an exceptionally mobile offensive defenseman with elite vision and puck-distribution skills. He has a blistering shot from the point, can transition the puck with his head up, and can play a lot of minutes in all situations. Although not a tall player, he is bullish in the corners and difficult to knock off the puck. He possesses a strong, wide base and is an explosive skater who is able to quickly rush the puck up ice. Outside of getting stronger and faster, which is something that practically all prospects need to do, there is little in Pouliot's game that could be considered a weakness. He will need to continue to improve his defensive play, but his game will always be predicated around creating offensive chances and taking some degree of risk.
Pouliot will spend the 2015-16 competing for a spot in the Penguins NHL lineup. Long-term, he projects as a top four defenseman capable of playing in all situations.
