Shooting in raw format: the real benefits of digital negatives
Localised editing and adjustment
Adobe's Camera Raw has an Adjustment Brush tool that allows localised editing of the exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, clarity, sharpness and colour.
When this tool is selected in the toolbar, a panel of options appears on the right of the screen. The top set governs which adjustment is made while the bottom four control the size, feather, flow and density.
A pin appears when the brush is used to show where the adjustment started. Hovering over the pin reveals the mask or area affected.

Apply an ND gradient to define both land and sky
Adobe Camera Raw's Graduated Filter tool enables the exposure of the sky and land in a landscape to be balanced at the Raw file conversion stage without the need to combine two versions.
Once the Graduated Filter tool has been selected, simply click on the image where you want the graduation to start and drag across to where it needs to finish.
To darken the sky of a landscape, click at the top of the image and drag down towards the land. The Graduated Filter panel allows the exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, clarity, sharpness and colour of the filter to be adjusted.
To add a second filter, perhaps to inject more contrast or boost the saturation of the land, select 'New' in the panel and click where the second filter needs to start.
Helpfully, the filter settings can be set before it is applied and adjusted afterwards if necessary.

Adding a post crop vignette
There is a Post Crop Vignetting section in the Effects (Fx) palette, which works even if the image is cropped again (in ACR) after it is applied. This also offers more control over the vignette than the Lens Corrections Vignetting tool.
The darkening can be made much more dramatic and can be blended using the Feather control. You can also make the effect rectangular or more round.

A quick guide to noise reduction
Shooting Raw files enables you to dictate the balance between noise removal and detail loss by using the noise reduction sliding controls in the Detail section of Adobe Camera Raw.
Tackle the coloured speckling first by adjusting the Colour control with the image at 100%, then experiment with the Colour Detail slider to bring back some of the colour that may be lost from the edges.
Adjust the Luminance control to remove the texture, before using the Luminance Detail and Contrast controls to bring back some bite. Go easy on the Luminance control as it softens the image.

The importance of understanding risk management and implementing the proper risk management plan cannot be overstated in protecting a company's assets.
Posts Tagged 'Business Development'
Most ideas never get converted into successful business. What are the keys to building a lasting business for start-ups?
The beginning of the year is a good time to dust down your business and give its strategy a good, honest workout. Like our physical selves, post-Christmas indulgence, this time of the year provides a great opportunity to banish bad habits and get ourselves fitter… the same rationale applies to business, and strategy.
Having a great idea or spotting an acquisition bargain is a long way from getting a business out of the zero zone and into profits though. Some folk get so fired up about their new idea that they forget to check the limiting factors. This post looks at some of the classic mistakes that start-up enthusiasts are making at the moment.
So why do we spend all that time and resource doing a job that a convenient tool can do for us using a fraction of the time and resources? Well I will let you answer that one for yourself and meanwhile let's look at a few simple approaches we can take to our business that provide a bit of TLC, DIY style!
This is the time of the year where most people have moments of nostalgia; we look back on the past with Rose Tinted glasses and reminisce about the good old days, phrases such as 'no school like the old school' and 'they were the good old days' float around.
When we set up in business we often have so much to do that in that process itself that our attention is pretty scattered.
This two-letter word has the ability to create value, conserve resources, and ultimately define your business- but only if you use it properly…
Investing in business takes many different forms. Time, finance, education, expansion to name just a few. To be successful at business usually requires a combination of all of the above and more.
Last time I covered the acronym "BUSINESS". The post received a few good comments so this time I'll cover: Mentor…

Movin' on up: Nikon D5300 first impressions review
Nikon's latest consumer DSLR, the D5300, evolves the design of its predecessor but raises the feature bar, bringing it closer to the D7100. In fact, it's likely that the 24MP D5300 even uses the sensor of its big brother since it also lacks an AA filter. The D5300's larger LCD and viewfinder serve to further close the gap, while built-in Wi-Fi, GPS, and 1080/60p video recording go beyond what the D7100 offers. We've had some time with a pre-production D5300, and you can click the links below to read our first impressions review.

She's still on baby food. My pediatrician (who I adore) and I talked about table food and we're just slowly transitioning to it. No special reason. . .we're just taking it slow! Part of the reason is that Evy loves to cram food in her mouth but then forgets to chew and swallow--ha! But she's getting the hang of it! I was starting to think she was super behind because I was reading about kids around her age having full-on kids' meals at restaurants! But we're doing it on our own timetable, and I'm fine with that!
What is your favorite thing to cook?
Honestly, cooking isn't a hobby I'm terribly interested in. I CAN cook; I just don't love it. For awhile I thought that was just horrible--I mean, shouldn't I love to cook? But I'm owning the fact that it's just okay. I make a good apricot chicken, poppyseed chicken, and brisket. I have the horrible habit of getting into a dinner rotation and never branching out. EVER. Now, Kurt. . .he is a wonderful cook. He's really started experimenting with seasoning, grilling, roasting. . .I am put to shame! But it's something that he's interested in, and he enjoys cooking. So it's not like he walks in the door and I force him to cook! :)
What are your plans for Evy's 1st birthday?
We are going to have two family parties; one at Kurt's parents' and another at mine. We'll probably invite family friends to both, or maybe just keep it family. I'm not sure yet! If we were to host a party here, the guest list would include people from so many different places, plus family; it was just be crowded and awkward (in my pessimistic opinion--ha!). I love throwing a good party, but I think it'll be easier on me to just celebrate with family this year.
What would you say are the 3 must haves for a new mom?
-To help me nurse, the Medela nursing shield.
-A game plan for sleep training (it doesn't make you a monster; it's a gift to everyone involved).
-A piece of baby gear that contains your baby (pack n play, Bumbo seat, or our favorites, the vibrating bouncy Boppy seat and Exersaucer).
What did you buy Evy for Christmas?
Someone in our church gave us a couple of great toys to give her:
Laugh and Learn Baby Grand Piano (fitting, since I play the piano)
Laugh and Learn House:
We bought her a Fisher Price play stroller so that she work on walking when the time comes:
We got her the Egermeier's Bible Story Book. I will mention this in an upcoming post, but these are the illustrations that I associate with first learning about Jesus. I bought it immediately when I found it at Lifeway, because those are my first memories of the Bible!
We also got her a Bible Stories board book that she can play with without tearing the pages. She already loves it!
I found The Night Before Christmas, illustrated by one of my favorite illustrators, Gyo Fugikawa. It's a Japanese/1950's style. Sounds odd, but it's so adorable!
A new pink cell phone, because she wore the batteries out of her old one!
In her stocking were 2 new paci's. I hate paci's with writing on them ("My mom is hot," anyone?). These are animal print and not too outrageous. Pretty cute, actually!
I'll show pictures of our Christmas once I'm home from traveling! :)
What is Kurt's schedule going to be like when y'all move?
It will be night and day from what it is now. He will still have very early mornings, but he'll get done much earlier in the day. Basically, there's about 10 people in the anesthesia group that he has signed with. It's a constant rotation schedule. About every 8 days, he'll be on call for epidurals, etc. The major difference is that he gets to take call from HOME!! Right now he has to stay at the hospital for his 16 or 24 hour shifts. We'll be living about 3 minutes from the hospital, so his commute will be non-existent. There's a health center in the hospital, so he'll be able to work out on premises, meaning less time away from us. Another big difference is that as an anesthesiologist, he'll be supervising multiple surgeries happening at the same time. The nurse anesthetists will actually be in the surgeries. That's why he's gone to school for so long; he's called in for major emergencies. The biggest blessing: around 11.5 weeks of vacation. This will allow us to see Kurt's family often, as well as travel when budget allows (we want to make a serious dent in paying off student loans, etc. first!) All in all, his hours will be much better, and we'll see him more! We can't wait.
How did you tell Kurt you were pregnant?
He had just finished a brutal 24 hour call, and we had eaten with some friends of the family for Sunday lunch. On a whim, I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive (at least I thought it was, but was paranoid I was wrong). I called him into our bedroom and said "I think I'm pregnant!" and immediately started full-on sobbing. He was barely coherent but gave me a hug and said said "That's great!" I kept apologizing because I wasn't sure he was ready, but he was so sweet about it. He then crashed in the bed and slept while I sat in the living room watching You've Got Mail. Typical.
How did you tell your family you were pregnant?
I called my parents that night and told them there was something we wanted to show them that we had just bought (or something like that), so they needed to come over after Sunday night church. Hilarious sidenote--my mom got pulled over on the way to my house because she was worried and driving too fast! Haha! The officer let her go because she explained that she was trying to get to her daughter. Great story! My brother ended up coming along too. Once both my parents and brother had arrived, I handed them a pacifier. They were so excited, and I think my mom got teary. I know I did. We hugged and everyone was so excited! I had to call Alyssa, who was at the beach with friends. She was beside herself and started screaming and telling her friends. Andrea had the best reaction (remember, she adores babies). I wrote her a letter saying how much someone was excited to meet her and signed it "Baby Lancaster." She was reading it out loud and stopped mid-sentence, looked at me, and started crying. She threw her arms around me, and it was one of the sweetest moments ever. We were visiting Kurt's parents not long after that, and at dinner we also gave them a pacifier. His grandparents were there too, and this would be their first great-grandchild. Momo (Kurt's grandmother) cried and put her hands over her face. It was wonderful, and that's what I'm most excited about in my next pregnancies---telling the family!

Reviews by sirgrummore
Puzzle storytelling at its bestsirgrummore | Oct. 30, 2013 | Review of Brothers A tale of Two Sons - PC
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons opens with the younger brother desperately trying to pull his mother back into a small boat on a stormy ocean before a strong current pulls her deep under water. Though there are no real words in this game, the impact of this event on the younger brother's life is surprisingly felt in the presented personality. Each brother interacts with the world in a unique way and each one has different strengths and weaknesses. As they travel across a diverse and imaginative landscape rich with beauty and fraught with peril, we are presented with an emotionally complex picture of this fantasy realm. The two brothers are questing toward a cure for their mortally ill father, and the brothers repeatedly confront tragedy beyond what most would encounter at their age. And these tragedies, from a man hanging himself at the edge of a battlefield to a town filled with frozen bodies in the street, are never so crudely sapped for their emotional value as many games where the rugged protagonist looks out over destruction as the camera pans over the scenery and sad music plays. It is merely part of the world, just as loss is a part of the lives of these two boys. The puzzles never get too difficult, but more than anything you're rooting for the brothers and you don't want the narrative to be too frequently interrupted with repeated deaths. I could go on for ages about the sound track and the pacing of different scenes in the game, but I'll let you see for yourself. This game is a triumph. Buy it.

Croatia, Slovenia, Greece and environs
Hi everybody. Long time observer of the site. First time poster. I'm backpacking for 5-6 weeks at the beginning of July and have some questions. My itinerary is as follows: Reykjavik 4 nights (non-negotiable, meeting a friend) Long travel day to dubrovnik - 3 nights Kotor 3 nights Mostar 1 night Sarajevo 3 nights Split 3 Hvar/brac/Korcula 2 Plitvice 1 Ljubjana 3 Lake bled 2 Venice 2 Mykonos, iOS/Naxos, santorini, Crete - 14 nights Athens 2 days then fly home I will be travelling by public transport as a solo traveller. I lose interest in museums but try for a little culture. I prefer outdoors and exploring. Plan on lots of hiking. As a solo traveller I need to be 'in the mix' so a happening place is preferred. So, is my itinerary too rushed? I was able to find a $200euro flight from Venice to Mykonos (direct) which explains the Venice detour. Any suggestions on the allocation of my time?

New London — The National Coast Guard Museum will be situated across the railroad tracks from Union Station, adjacent to a new high-speed ferry terminal and accessible from the downtown area via a handicapped-accessible crossing.
Calling the riverfront location "the kind of site any architect would dream of," the head of the architectural team for the museum described to members of the National Coast Guard Museum Association, Coast Guard leaders, politicians and museum supporters gathered at the Science & Technology Magnet High School this morning a three-part building with views to the south, exhibition areas to the north and a central atrium.
The National Coast Guard Museum will bring people to New London from around the world and transform the city and the region, according to speakers at this morning's press conference.
"This is a 'wow' day for the state of Connecticut," Sen. Richard Blumenthal told those gathered for the announcement at the Science & Technology Magnet School.
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said the museum will attract people on "an international basis to New London." The state has committed $20 million toward the project.
Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr., the Coast Guard commandant, said he likes the site because it can be reached easily by car, bus, train or ferry, many tourists pass through Union Station each day and museum visitors can go to the restaurants and shops downtown.
Fort Trumbull was considered as a possible site for the museum, but Papp said the property there would be "a little bit off the beaten path." Union Station, which was also considered, is too small, he added. The plans call for a roughly 50,000-square-foot museum.
"As people are going to northern New England on the train, and as they go by and look out, they'll say, 'Hey, National Coast Guard Museum, it might be neat to come back here and visit that place,'" he said. "There will be thousands of people that will be going by that museum every day."
Papp said the museum will be a "very attractive addition to the waterfront" and he hopes it will help local businesses thrive.
"The city perhaps might someday see a renaissance of sorts," he said.
The Coast Guard's ties to New London date back more than two centuries. One of the 10 cutters George Washington authorized in 1790 to enforce federal tariff and trade laws was built and based in New London, Papp said.
The Cutter Argus most likely moored at a pier off Bank Street, within walking distance of the site of the future museum, he added. The 10 vessels became the Revenue Cutter Service, one of the five services that merged to form the Coast Guard.
"There's our tie back to the beginnings of our service, right here in New London," Papp said.
Papp said he hopes the Coast Guard barque Eagle will move from Fort Trumbull to City Pier, as long as the water is deep enough and the pier is sturdy enough since trucks have to bring supplies to the ship. Visiting Coast Guard ships could also tie up at the pier, he added.
"If you start getting this vibrant waterfront with clubs and restaurants and other things, when you have a visiting ship that's coming in off a patrol, what a great place to pull into," he said.
The National Coast Guard Museum Association still has to raise the rest of the money to build the museum, which is expected to cost $80 million to $100 million depending on some of the design choices.

If you rush into relationship after relationship to avoid being alone or lonely, you won't be truly ready and available to anyone.
What's the rush? Find yourself first. Take some time to get to know others before you jump in.
You will make better choices and feel more peace and joy.
If you rush into relationship after relationship to avoid being alone or lonely, you won't be truly ready and available to anyone.
Keeping Your Heart Open…Relationship Tip #13
After you've been hurt or disappointed in a few relationships it's easy to feel like you have to protect yourself from more pain.
If you wall up your heart it will be hard to give out the kind of energy that will attract like-minded and healthy people. It will be hard to trust and enjoy anyone you meet.
The trick is to Keep Your Heart Open but to not get so attached that you can't walk away when things go badly.
Keep your eyes open, Keep your boundaries, Keep your values and Respect your self.
Would You Fall In Love All Over Again?: Relationship Tip #12
If you keep falling in love with someone over and over, you know it's love.
I think sometimes that being in a long term relationship is really like having several marriages.
If you are an ever-evolving person committed to personal and relationship growth, the person you were when you met your partner is not the same person you will be at different points of your life. Neither will they be, hopefully.
When you both have grown and developed different aspects of your selves, have children, have careers, become empty-nesters, etc don't you look at each other from time to time and say, "Who is this person?"
Aren't there times you aren't sure that you even love each other anymore?
Look for the special moments when you look again and say, "Wow! That's an amazing person! I'm falling in love with them all over again!"
Someone to love won't "complete" you – Relationship Tip #10
Having someone to love does not "complete" you.
You are a complete "work in progress" and all you need is someone to love and accept you just the way you are.
Relationship Tip #9
Don't be in such a hurry! Don't be in such a rush to jump in a relationship so you don't have to rush to get out.
Relationship Tip #8
When you're feeling hurt by rejection remember that this is just one person. Don't forget about everyone else who cares for and loves you.
Relationship Tip #7
What attracts us to someone is the infatuation, the sex and the great energy. What keeps a relationship going is knowing and loving someone who knows and loves you and being in a relationship where you feel joy.
Relationship Tip #6
Don't confuse being alone with being lonely. You can be alone without being lonely and you can be lonely in a room full of people.
It's good to learn to be alone and enjoy your own company and it's good to fill your social life with people who respect you and fill you up instead of draining or ignoring you.
Relationship Tip #5
If you focus on waiting for the right person to come into your life, you miss out on the joy of becoming the right person to come into someone elses life.
Be The Best Person You Want To Be so they can find you!
What If You're Getting Everything You've Dreamed Of And It Still Feels Bad? Part Two
In Part One I asked the question: "How do you know if your reticence is about you being scared to connect for fear of being hurt again or if you're picking up on some danger signs?", and then went on to talk about how to figure out the Red Flags, how to look at danger signs.
One of my readers reminded me that I hadn't finished the second part of my thinking about this topic.
In this blog I want to talk about the "what if it is about your fears and anxieties?" piece of this.
It is possible that you are making mountains out of molehills yourself because you are scared of being hurt again or because you are a person who has never really been that comfortable letting anyone too close. Is it possible that, after having had bad experiences and made mistakes, you aren't sure you can trust yourself anymore?
There ARE people who meet and "fall in love at first sight" and actually stay in love. Sometimes your radar and intuition turn out to be right!
If you are someone who has, as I call it, Done Your Own Work, you may have figured out what your own issues and blocks are and do better at sorting out what your responses are about and adjust for them in your conscious and rational mind. Some of this may even have become more intuitive and less hard work to stay conscious of. You might find yourself even having a physical reaction to certain behaviors, comments or situations before you're aware of what they remind you of. If you haven't Done Your Own Work there is a lot of subconscious emotional interpretation going on that you aren't even aware of that impacts your responses and behaviors.
If you've been through several relationships or if you've only had a few, you've thought about what worked and didn't work, you've thought about how to be The Best Person You Want To Be and what you want from others. You've been around the block enough to recognize some bad things and see them sooner. You might make mistakes but, hopefully, you don't make THE SAME mistakes again.
If there are no BRIGHT RED FLAGS or if you do see some RED FLAGS but you know these are related to your own issues, you can give it some time to see how things play out in a relationship. Sometimes, as Jung said to Freud, a cigar IS just a cigar, and sometimes people's intial behavior upon meeting a new person is just anxiety and not a sign of character flaws.
I keep asking this question: What's the big rush? Why do you feel as if you have limited time or have to make a decision RIGHT THIS MINUTE?
I think feeling rushed is YOUR issue even if someone is overtly or covertly pushing you. They might want to UP THE ANTE to get you to "pick them" but you don't have to absorb their anxiety and work on their agenda.
What's your agenda? To get a relationship fast or to get a good one?
As I always say: "The trick is to keep your heart open but don't get so attached that you can't walk away if it turns out to be the wrong person". "It can take four seasons to really know someone" and I have had experiences where I have found out things even further into a relationship that I was totally surprised about.
So the message here is…take your time….keep your eyes open….check things out….be yourself….and wait for the person who is right for you who likes you just the way you are!
We all deserve to be liked and loved and cared for and there is someone out there who will feel that way about you. Stop Trying To Fit The Round Peg In A Square Hole to make relationships work. Stop trying to make your fantasy about someone, a relationship or yourself, a reality. It doesn't work that way!

Tales From Muppetland was a series of fairy-tale themed Muppet TV specials. The original series included The Frog Prince, and The Muppet Musicians of Bremen.
In the 1980s, Hey Cinderella! and Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas were also categorized as Muppetland specials on home video releases, but those specials were not originally produced under the "Muppetland" banner.

By: Nsenga Burton Posted: Oct. 4 2010 3:59 PM 0 Ahmenhotep III, a pharaoh, ruled nearly 3,400 years ago. A statue of Ahmenhotep III, a pharaoh who ruled nearly 3,400 years ago, was discovered at the site of a temple in Luxor, Egypt. According to news reports, archaeologists in Egypt uncovered a limestone statue of King Tut's grandfather. The statue of Ahmenhotep III is four feet tall and three feet wide. It shows the pharaoh on a throne, wearing Egypt's double crown, next to the Theban god Amun. The expert craftmanship of the statue makes it one of the "best new finds," which is one of the reasons it is being celebrated. Cheers! Read more at AOL.

I've found out how to bypass the twitter 1k daily follow limit.
However, I need someone to show me how to use a macro/auto clicker inside a virtual machine.
I've found out how to bypass the twitter 1k daily follow limit.
However, I need someone to show me how to use a macro/auto clicker inside a virtual machine.
Its a VM thats running the android operating system and I cant find any bots that run on android, i've tried recording my mouse clicks and it failed.
If someone makes a bot for android and makes it public, then expect that glitch to be patched very soon by twitter.
EmailMaster (01-06-2014)
What does that "someone" will get in return? I mean, are you looking for a bot to be coded for that emulating process? Be it iOS or android simulation it can be coded. Although the coder will have to know the method in order to code it. Let me know if that's what you have in mind, and maybe we can sort something out.
To black.....
I've tried the glitch through bluestacks and an android emulator for iPhone. Once passed the follow limit, the follows don't register with Twitter using the android app. It there a trick to it?
Are you talking about using a differant USER AGENT to bypass the follow limit? If so, It's already patched by youtube...
Is there anyone who can code such a bot for bluestacks or any other emulator?
All it has to do is going over the checkboxes and click them.
Of course I would pay you to code it!
Contact me if interested.
I've used this method many times and it does bypass the limit but your account will still get suspended.
is anyone has a technique to bypass the 1K following daily limits. I can pay for it
Are you not going to share how you do it??
I've already done this, however it is worth noting that eventually Twitter will limit or ban your account. It's called a honeypot :P.
i just followed 2500 people today. All you have to do is after twitter rate limits your following, change your ip address. Use hideman or zenmate for chrome to do this. But if you guys come up with a way to get around 10,000 following a day id realy appreciate it. Cause im still curious how some people have done that.
I thought that glitch was already patched..
I have a dozen android phones and I write bots for my android phones because my computer sucks too much. lolol I cannot let anything slow down compile time.
But I don't have any follower bots just an AI and auto tweeters. It really is not such a bad idea. most people have extra smartphones laying around after all these years. Why let its processing power go to waste? Since my system is completely unique and no one else but me uses it.. I figure my chances of being caught are really low.
I have observed a couple of twitter accounts following more than 10k and unfollowing around 15k in a single day
HatArrows which ones? {PM me}

St. Louis (KSDK) -- Apple is expected to unveil a new iPhone Wednesday, and if you're like a lot of people, you want to know if it's worth it to trade in your old iPhone.
In some cases you can get more than $300 for your old iPhone.
The Gazelle website can help you find out what your current iPhone is worth.
Once on the site, you pick your model and carrier. Then you select how much data space your phone holds and what condition it is in.
Then you get an estimate.
Here is an estimated range of what you can expect. If you have an iPhone 4S, with AT&T and 64 gigabytes of space, you could get about $315 to trade in your phone. If you have an iPhone 4, with less storage space, you're in the $140 range. If you're on the low end, like an iPhone 3GS with only 8 gigabytes, you might only get about $30.

Careers in Public Defense
Public defenders provide counsel for indigent defendants in criminal cases on the local, state, and federal levels. Public defenders' offices may be structured either as government or quasi-government entities, or as independent nonprofit organizations. Some states have a statewide public defender system, and others are organized on a local basis. Federal public defenders represent indigent defendants in federal court. Some public defender offices, particularly in urban areas and other busy jurisdictions, also have specialized departments that focus on, for instance, juvenile, capital, or appellate litigation.
Law graduates are hired directly by public defenders' offices, providing tremendous opportunities to gain immediate litigation experience.
The National Legal Aid & Defender Association is a member organization for public defenders. You may learn more about the history of public defense and the right to counsel in the U.S. through NLADA's website.

Stop Rick Scott's massive corporate giveaway
Governor Rick Scott has spent the past two years making devastating cuts to critical services for middle class families. Now he plans to go even further by pushing through a bill this legislative session that will give big corporations another $141 million in tax breaks.
Florida cannot continue the practice of increasing corporate tax breaks and subsidies while slashing funding for education and neglecting the needs of the state's small businesses.
The good news is that we can stop this bill because it requires a two-thirds majority to pass.
Please sign the petition from Daily Kos and our partners at Florida Watch Action as we demand that the Florida legislature reject this $141 million corporate tax break. Florida Watch Action will deliver the signatures to Florida legislators.
Do not pass any more corporate tax breaks, including Gov. Scott's proposal to provide $141 million to corporations. We need more investment in education and middle class families, not corporate welfare.

Now, as my wife will attest, my personal sense of fashion adventure is limited to a decision of which Brooks Brothers Oxford shirt to wear when both of my light blues are at the laundry: yellow, or yellow.

Sleeper Report: Bargains
Ike Davis – 1B – Mets
Davis broke out in 2010 when he took over first base for the Mets and went on to smack 19 home runs. The lefty came into 2011 with high hopes and those hopes were being fulfilled early on as Davis stormed out of the gates with seven home runs, eight doubles and 25 RBI's while batting .307 in the first 36 games. Then came a serious ankle injury that ended Davis' season.
The injury wasn't as serious as first thought and Davis is 100% as spring training gets ready to begin in 2012. Big things are expected out of Davis from the Mets as he is slated to bat clean up, and while the Mets' line up doesn't exactly scare anybody, Davis just may be the best hitter in their line up.
Davis was on track for a .300, 30 home run, 100 RBI season before the injury, and while he may not be quite that good, .290 and 25 home runs should be a reasonable goal and Davis should fall in the draft making him a draft day bargain.

Here is my problem. I have set up my phone's email with an Exchange server. It works just fine EXCEPT for one part. If I log off of the computer, close out Outlook on my computer, or the computer goes to sleep (after 1 hr of no activity) then I am unable to receive any emails on my phone. I can send emails, just not receive any from the server.
Is there some way to fix this?

Plugging 2 flawed tubes will bring operator closer to satisfying nuclear restart plan
A troublesome type of wear on steam generator tubes at an idled San Onofre nuclear reactor was limited to just two tubes, plant operator Southern California Edison told federal regulators Friday.
The two tubes will be plugged to address the potential for tube-to-tube wear at the plant's Unit 2 reactor, as Southern California moves forward with its commitments to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission aimed at safely restarting the plant.
Isolating tube-to-tube wear in Unit 2 brings Edison closer to satisfying a two-point plan toward restarting that reactor.
Among several other commitments, Edison still must establish a protocol of operational limits and further inspections, including a review midway between refueling cycles that typically last 18 months.
Problems at the plant emerged in late January when the other reactor, Unit 3, was shut down after a radioactive release was traced to a leak in a steam generator tube. Further inspections found accelerated wear on the tubes in both reactors due to rubbing against support structures and each other.
"The tube-to-tube wear was determined to exist in only one location (the point of interaction between the two tubes) and was less than 15 percent through-wall," Edison said in a letter to the NRC about the ongoing inspections at Unit 2.
Unit 1 has been decommissioned.
Each of the plant's recently replaced generators contain 9,272 tubes, and they are designed to operate with as many as 8 percent — 778 — of those tubes plugged, according to the manufacturer. A total of more than 300 tubes in the generators have been plugged as Edison continues its investigation.
The steam tubes contain radioactive water that cycles through the reactor core and are designed to transfer heat to a second steam loop that drives turbines to generate electricity.
A leak can contaminate the second nonradioactive steam loop and potentially release radiation into the surrounding environment.
Working at full capacity, the plant provides about 20 percent of the region's power at this time of year.
There is no scheduled restart date for the facility, as electricity grid operators piece together contingency plans for meeting peak summer electricity demand without the region's largest generation facility.
Also Friday, the plant operator reported that a fire broke out at 12:49 p.m. in the plant's turbine room outside the reactor containment dome on the northern reactor, Unit 2. The flame was extinguished at 1:41 p.m. by the plant's own fire department. There were no injuries, Edison said in a written statement.
The fire took place "in an electrical panel," the statement said. Edison spokeswoman Jennifer Manfre could provide no further description of the fire, and its cause was still unclear.

OK, so I've been scouring the internet, a past time I'm sure everyone here is familiar with, and I can't come up with a definitive answer on this...
I have a pair of Sugino RD2R TL cranks (with the old crown logo, doesn't say Sugino anywhere), 46t chainring, rear formula ff hub and am in need of a new BB. I have seen people say the 103mm works because it gives a 42mm chainline, but I have also seen complaints about the RD2R having a 45mm chainline with the 103mm.
The Sugino website says: Chain Line Single: 45.0mm(CBB-103)
Harris via Sheldon Brown: 103mm gives a 42mm chainline
I've seen suggestions of getting a 107mm BB and running the chainring on the inside, but I've also seen complaints with this too.
Does anyone have any proven insight as to whether a 103mm BB will work or if I need to try the 107mm. I'm at a loss, please help.

Here's something that worries me about the stock market today. The swings are getting bigger, not smaller. So volatility is expanding. The S&P 500, therefore, is putting in somewhat of a broadening formation. Definitely not a check mark for the bulls.And if it was just that, then maybe it could be brushed off. But it's where it's happening that gives it validity. As you can see in the daily bar chart below, we're at the upper end of this multi-month trend channel:

Interim DeKalb County CEO Lee Many and other elected officials honored APD Solutions' CEO Vaughn Irons during the company's fifth anniversary.
The anniversary celebration was held at the Millennium Gate Museum in Atlanta. More than 400 people attended the event.
May presented Irons with a proclamation that recognized his commitment to the revitalization of DeKalb County. Along with May, other elected officials at the event included Rockdale County Commission Chairman Richard Oden, Henry County Commissioner Bruce Holmes, Atlanta City Council President Ceasar Mitchell and former Clayton County Chairman Eldrin Bell.
"This was truly a day to remember. I attribute much of APD Solutions' success over the past five years to my staff, which consists of top industry professionals," Irons said.
Irons is a longtime resident of DeKalb County and chairman of the Development Authority of DeKalb County. Irons' company invested $5 million of new private capital for the revitalization of the Covington Highway Corridor and Hidden Hills Overlay area to establish the Panola Slope Community.
Also, APDS, a DeKalb County Neighborhood Stabilization Program Service Provider, leveraged $1.5 million in Neighborhood Stabilization Funds along with $900,000 in private capital to save DeKalb communities such as Piedmont Pointe. Additionally, through the "Get Home Now Program," APD Solutions, created a pathway to homeownership for more than 225 DeKalb families.
Irons established APD Solutions in 2009. APD Solutions is a national neighborhood revitalization firm created to rebuild neighborhoods and renew the lives of people by increasing homeownership, reducing the number of vacant homes resulting from foreclosures, stabilizing real estate values and strengthening the local tax-base.

Guest Commentator
There is a missing component to the national discussion concerning how to strengthen and rebuild the American economy. It is true that high unemployment, a weak national infrastructure, the need for stronger public education, the concentration of wealth and the deficit are all challenges to the nation's economy, but being left out of the discussion is the continued economic marginalization of racial and ethnic minorities. The American economy has always been strongest when it's kept the middle class within reach for most Americans. But with White households holding nearly 20 times the wealth of Black or Latino households, and with rising disparities in unemployment, poverty, and income, the future of the middle class has never looked more uncertain. As the country rapidly becomes majority minority, the nation's economic well-being is increasingly tied to overcoming racial-economic inequality. Continue Reading →

Pistol handled by victim, 10, and girl, 9, had been stored in condo's garage
San Diego The owner of a gun that was handled by children, resulting in a 10-year-old boy's accidental shooting death, has been charged with three felony counts, including involuntary manslaughter, the District Attorney's Office said Wednesday.
Todd Conrad Francis, 55, also faces charges of child endangerment and criminal storage of a firearm, District Attorney spokesman Steve Walker said in a statement.
Francis surrendered at downtown police headquarters on Tuesday and was booked into jail and later released after posting $100,000 bail.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in San Diego Superior Court.
If convicted of all the charges, Francis faces a possible prison term of seven years and eight months, Walker said.
Before the District Attorney's statement, Francis' attorney, Danna Cotman, issued a statement that said her client "voluntarily turned himself in" understanding that the district attorney was "in the process of determining what, if any, charges will be filed."
Francis' 9-year-old daughter was playing with neighbor Eric Klyaz on June 4 when the shooting occurred, police said. Both children were reportedly handling the 9 mm pistol when it went off in the garage, and a round struck and killed Eric, police said.
No adults were at the Miramar Ranch condo at the time. The girl's 14-year-old brother was baby-sitting the children.
A police search warrant stated the gun was stored in a plastic bin in the garage, but Francis' attorney later said in a statement that was not the case. Cotman said the pistol was hidden in an inaccessible place, separate from the ammunition clip, and that it was unloaded. She did not specify where.
Francis worked for the Transportation Security Administration for at least a month in Las Vegas and had recently returned to San Diego, unemployed.
When reached by phone Wednesday, Eric's mother, Irina Klyaz, said: "I will not be making any comment or talking to anyone." She added that the family has not hired an attorney at this time.

Changes to IDRC Regional and Head Offices
Further to the message of April 2, 2012, IDRC's Singapore regional office closed on July 31 and the Dakar office will close on November 30, respectively. These closures are in response to reductions to IDRC's operating budget, announced in Budget 2012 as part of the Government of Canada's review to find ongoing operational savings. In addition, the Innovation for Inclusive Development program has been closed and as IDRC continues to reduce administrative costs relative to programming, a number of positions have been affected at IDRC's head office.
At the end of this process, IDRC will have four regional offices ─ Cairo, Montevideo, Nairobi, and New Delhi ─ as well as its head office in Ottawa. The activities of IDRC's Singapore office will be consolidated into its New Delhi office; those of Senegal will be consolidated into the Centre's Nairobi office. The regional offices in New Delhi and Nairobi will carry out IDRC's activities in the Asian and sub-Saharan Africa regions, respectively. Nairobi will offer services in both English and French to continue to support grantees in francophone sub-Saharan Africa.
In making these decisions, IDRC has sought to maintain its alignment with the Government of Canada's international development priorities, and to preserve IDRC's programming commitments and priorities, as well as its business model to the extent possible, both globally and in the regions. The Centre remains committed to supporting research that leads to practical solutions to the problems faced by developing countries and, despite the closure of its Singapore and Dakar offices, will continue to fund activities for the economic and social development of the Southeast Asian and West African regions. IDRC wishes to recognize and thank affected colleagues at head office as well as from the Singapore and Dakar offices for their tremendous contributions over many years. We look forward to continuing to work with those who will join our New Delhi and Nairobi offices. And for those leaving IDRC, we wish them every success in their future endeavours.
PartnershipsIDRC is committed to honouring its existing external partnerships. In light of this, IDRC programs that are co-funded with other organizations will not be affected significantly by any of the changes described above.
Individual Grant Recipients All current grants, including those in the programs and regions most affected by these changes, will be maintained. Grantees that have been affected by administrative changes have been contacted separately.
