Press Release from The Previsualization Society
Los Angeles, CA (January 28, 2010) -- The Previsualization Society, a non-profit, interdisciplinary organization dedicated to advancing previsualization ("previs") in feature film, games, commercials and architecture, has gone live this month, with membership applications now formally being accepted and an online portal newly active on the Web. The initiatives are part of a ramp-up of activities for the Previsualization Society's inaugural year and are key steps in the group's mission of cultivating a community of knowledge and information around the previs process. Both initiatives are being launched on www.previssociety.com.
Official "Call for Membership"The Previsualization Society is pleased to be expanding a membership that already includes a diverse cross-section of more than 300 charter members from around the entertainment industry. For the 2010 membership cycle, applications have been opened at the following levels: Previs Professional (full memberships for credentialed previs artists and supervisors); Associate (full memberships for industry professionals working in conjunction with previs); Educator (full memberships for accredited teachers and instructors); Student (full memberships for currently enrolled students); General (limited memberships for those interested in previs but outside of the previs industry).
Memberships provide tiered privileges and access to society documents, materials, information, forums and events. Company memberships and sponsorships are also offered. Visit the Membership Section of the Previsualization Society website for full membership requirements, benefits details and to immediately apply.
New Online Web PortalThe Previsualization Society is establishing a centralized hub of previs content and topics with the launch of its online Web portal on www.previssociety.com. The portal has been built out to facilitate presentation and exchange of information, ideas, news and contributions while also compiling historical timelines, reports, technical documents and galleries of previs work. The online Web portal will be further augmented later this year with a strong social engine to enable user-to-user text and video chatting, chat rooms, a job board, enhanced forums, personal user blog pages, enhanced user profiles and more. While many items are viewable via a free registered Web log-in, somen content is offered to paid members only.
Other Activities and ActionsAmong many other activities, the Previsualization Society is currently interfacing with key motion picture industry organizations to create and distribute a range of previs information and presentations. The Previsualization Society is also working with charter sponsor Autodesk to produce educational materials. Colin Green, President; Brian J. Pohl, Secretary and Daniel Gregoire, Treasurer, have been named as 2010 Previsualization Society officers.
The Previsualization Society is the first permanent group to be focused on the collaborative process of previs and its development, documentation, understanding and use. Creation of the Previsualization Society was announced in September.
About the Previsualization SocietyFormed in 2009, the Previsualization Society is a permanent non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement and development of previsualization, or "previs," for all who participate in or benefit from the previs process. Members of the Previsualization Society are engaged with the production or use of previs around the world within such fields as feature film, television, commercials, games, visualization and architecture. Through a community that is as collaborative and interdisciplinary as previs itself, the Previsualization Society promotes effective applications, standards and practices, education and practical knowledge exchange and takes a leadership role in developing and articulating the capabilities of an evolving medium that is playing an integral role in how content is made.

The Tigers held Rocklin to single-digit scoring in all three periods as they rolled to a 45-29 victory. Roseville opened a 10-7 lead after the opening quarter and extended the margin to 10 by the break, before carrying it home for a much-needed second straight win. Point guard Raina Loya scored 13 points to complement an 18-point scoring night from center Katie Simon. Katie Summers and Megan Hanson each scored seven points to lead the Rocklin scoring.

Why we leave old, dried plants in gardens
By Colette Wolf, UTTC Land Grant Programs Agroecology Extension Educator
22 December 2012
Like a stringed instrument, the wind plucks the dried corn stalks, sending rustling melodies through the air. Happy notes are added by chickadee and nuthatch, feeding on the dry, seed-packed sunflower heads.
If we listen closer, ladybug chirps can be heard. Their oval, orange bodies travel endlessly through a maze of dried garden plants. Squirrels pack their cheeks with garden leftovers, hustling and squawking their delight.;
Organic gardening depends on daily wildlife activity to nourish soils. The birds, animals and insects help scatter and break down the left-over dried plants. As they feed, their little bodies are nourished, leaving behind manures rich in plant foods.
Then the freeze/thaw action of winter combines with wind, rain and snow to pummel the plants even more. This creates what is often referred to as plant debris. It is recycled back into the soil to feed the next community known as soil organisms. These happy soil tillers worms, nematodes and fungi break down the debris, so it looks like soil, brown and crumbly.
As the soil organisms travel about hunting and gathering, they create tunnels in the Earth. Water and air enter the tunnels, gathering plant foods from the soil. In the spring, roots share these pathways and feast upon the foods in the water. The roots in turn feed the plants that feed us.
Helping this natural cycle is why we leave the old plants in our gardens; they provide next year's plant food. While standing, they provide protection to small birds from winter's cold. As snow swirls and drifts around dried stalks, miniature snow tepees are formed, providing winter shelter. The birds are major garden helpers. They help control insect populations, add manures and transport seeds.
Organic gardening connects us to our natural family. We tap into Mother Earth's community and her economy for exchanging goods. It provides us an opportunity to participate in the 'Give-away' or 'Gifting.'
As we share our organic harvest with each other, we also participate in Mother Earth's Give-away to the wind, plants, birds, animals, insects, soil organisms and water. All having a song. All preparing now, for winter's cleansing cold.

Vitor Belfort is all about thinking positive, and so you won't get him to say no to anything he thinks he can do.
The light-heavyweight challenger explained his mindset this week as he prepares for his short-notice shot at the belt held by Jon Jones, the youngest champion in UFC history and one of the most dangerous fighters ever.
"Everyday, I have the chance to be the best of myself. Every day I have a day to improve. I know I can win this fight and shock the world. I can bring the old guys some pride back," laughs Belfort, a veteran of the sport.
"I am so ready in my mind, it is hard for me to explain. I am so ready to be the champion again. My brain, my body, they are so ready. That's how I live my life, with belief. I am a winner. I am ready to win. As you get older you learn about yourself.
"I have the same abilities as I had when I was younger, but now I have more sense of myself. I know how I respond and learn. Whenever someone says something like 'Can you speak French?' I don't say "no" I say "Not yet".
"Against Jon Jones people ask 'how can you beat this guy?' and I say 'I will show you how on Saturday!'"
Jones and Belfort will fight tomorrow night in the headline bout of UFC 152, which takes place in Toronto, Canada. Also on the card is a middleweight fight between Michael Bisping and Brian Stann, while flyweights Demetrious Johnson and Joseph Benavidez will contest the first-ever 125lb title.

'High-class' escort jailed over £120,000 tax fraud – MLR issue?
The Telegraph reports that a £1,000-a-night prostitute, Donna Asutaits, has been jailed for tax evasion after she cheated the taxman out of tens of thousands of pounds.
John Stokdyk is curious whether we're seeing evidence of highly paid tax evaders in the sex industries coming to light through taskforces and targeted campaigns.
Does this throw any light on the money laundering regulations or is it just a case of tax evasion?
Here are the details of the case:
- The self-employed escort earned more than £300,000 in two years by selling herself to wealthy businessmen
- She studied for a master's degree while she paid a £110,000 cash deposit on a £360,000 apartment
- When police raided her home they uncovered nearly £80,000 in cash
- She failed to file any tax returns for most of her working career, which she claimed she had worked as an escort for a decade
- Prosecutors initially claimed Asutaits made £870,000 over five years and owed £315,000 in tax, but she successfully argued that her period of tax free earnings lasted just two years
- Jailing her for 16 months Judge Peter Testar said she had deliberately avoided paying any tax from the start
- A proceeds of crime hearing will take place later this year to recoup some of the tax
Who said Tax wasn't exciting! 1 thanks
About time, I wonder if we will see drug dealers prosecuted for tax evasion soon.
Just shows why tax evaders quickly get more out of life by not paying tax.
Focus 2 thanks
Silly me! I thought from the headline that we should be worrying about where her customers were getting their cash from in the first place - £1,000 a night, that's more than you can get from the cash point?
Would HMRC have accepted tax returns with "Prostitute" entered in the description of trade box?
Would they have sent an officer round to check her claims for expenses? The capital allowances on her "equipment"? Should there be a restriction for private use?
Could such a declaration on her tax return be held against her in court? (I am aware that prostitution is not actually illegal in the UK but most of the industry and supporting services is).
Poor career choice
She should have got a job as a State employee. They rob the public blind with impugnity. Nice work if you can get it.
sharing 1 thanks
Silly me! I thought from the headline that we should be worrying about where her customers were getting their cash from in the first place - £1,000 a night, that's more than you can get from the cash point?
I think they have several customers?
But then they are only £65 per hour round our way (value for money or what?)
What is high class? The Flat? The clothes or the fake accent?
That reminds me of the old
That reminds me of the old joke about the lady who went out to work for the night and came back with earnings of £20.05. When asked who had the cheek to pay her 5p she replied "All of them".
Her potential problems 1 thanks
Apart from having to get used to new sleeping accommodation and a different class of room-mate, she will potentially have problems with her proceeds of crime proceedings.
The likelihood is that the Court will hold that she has a 'criminal lifestyle' having been convicted of an offence continuing over at least 6 months from which she has obtained a benefit of at least £5,000.
That means all her (financial) assets are at risk of being grabbed by the tax man.
It was also alleged that she obtained a £250,000 mortgage advance by claiming to have income as a racehorse consultant (something to do with studs, perhaps?).
Subject to a case which the Supreme Court is currently chewing over, that could result in a very substantial finding of 'benefit' against her in the confiscation case.
As for The Black Knight's point, there is specific legislation for taxing income from criminal conduct in Part 6, PoCA 2002. I have seen that legislation put to use (but not in connection with anything so glamorous as this case!).
Taxable? 1 thanks
I had always thought that income from illegal sources - drug dealing, gun running etc was not within the scope of income tax, at least in the UK. Presumbly the UK Government can't prohibit behaviour via one department then seek to benefit from it via taxation (although they already do to an extent with tobacco & alcohol I suppose).
Normal rules 2 thanks
A trading activity, such as drug dealing or gun running, is taxable in the same way as car dealing or importing furniture.
However simple theft of cash, for example, is not taxable as there is no trading activity.
Everyday is a school day

So is submitting a tax return declaring a couple of hundred thousand pounds "trading profits" from drug dealing with the trade description of "recreational pharmacist" enough of a confession to convict you?
only 1 thanks

Only if they read it!
They are not usually that bothered probably just glad to get some tax.
I always wonder why lifestyle and the proceeds of crime act are not used for the drivers of Porsches and Range Rovers with no proof of income. Dale farm residents being a televised example.
Posh cars but no income 3 thanks
Apparently what triggered a police investigation in a recent major PAYE fraud case was the fact that certain people were living the high life without any visible source of income.
Read all about it HERE.
Is that not what the Italians did?
Had a look around to see who was driving Ferraris then checked up on the registered owners income. Sounds like a good idea to me but doubtless against someone's Human Rights.
Tax evasion or money laundering
There are a number of very curious facts in this case, not all of which appear in the Telegraph report.
She was charged with three offences and pleaded guilty to common law Cheating the Public Revenue of £120k in tax. She pleaded not guilty to the other two, one of which was laundering £110k on behalf of two alleged criminals. This £110k was presumably the cash deposit she put down on her flat purchase. Earning money from your own prostitution is not a crime, so if that was the source of the money it was not the proceeds of a crime. That would suggest the CPS thought it came from some other source.
The police found just over £130k in cash when they raided her flat (and a safety deposit box) on two separate occasions, while investigating another crime - we don't know what that crime was except that it wasn't tax evasion.
She admitted earning £300k in just two years from escorting. It is certainly true that some escorts can earn large sums of money, but it takes years and a lot of hard work to build up a reputation and client base. It is not credible that a 24 year old (as she was at the time) was earning £150k a year.
When arrested she read out a pre-prepared statement admitting that all the money came from escorting.
It's almost as though she's admitted tax evasion instead of some other unknown crime which might have had more serious consequences. And interesting that she's admitted to evading tax (I'm not sure whether this includes interest and penalties) of £120k which is very close to the £130k which was seized by the police. That should help settle the Proceeds of Crime proceedings.
There's a blog about it with a few more details on my web-site http://www.taxrelief4escorts.co.uk/2012/07/10/escort-jailed-for-failing-to-pay-tax/
i wasnt aware that it was an offence to sell your body
it is to sell other peoples or run a brothel
Level Playing Field
It will be interesting to see if confiscation proceedings are launched against the banks in respect of LIBOR fraud, one has admitted this occurred for more than six months should this not equate to a criminal lifestyle. Don't hold your breath.

Yeah, and ESPN3 on Xbox Live is looking pretty good too.
Pleasantly surprised I get to see that many games, plus a few over breaks when Im in Iowa. Not to mention Time Warner just got ESPN3, good day!
Well, looking at the schedule it looks kinda crappy for anyone in Central Iowa with Dish and Qwest for internet. It appears that there will only be five games shown on local TV if you don't have mediacom. I thought that CTN usually shows a lot of the non-conference schedule.
Noticed a couple differences between the Full Court schedule and the Full Court notations on the men's basketball schedule at cyclones.com
The 11/27 an 12/21 games are listed as full court games on the schedule at cyclones.com, but currently do not appear on the espn full court schedule.
The 12/1 game is not listed as a full court game on cyclones.com, but does appear on the espn full court schedule.
I did not look at anything beyond the non-conf schedule.

Reason for Recall
Bringing in new patients is good, but getting them to come back is better.
Gary Gerber, O.D.
If you've been reading my column for any length of time, then you know that I'm a huge proponent of using effective recall systems. I've spent years tracking client data that continually supports the premise that the single most effective practice-building tool a practice can use is a well-thought-out recall philosophy and program.
Something to think about
If you've taken time to carefully configure and execute your own recall system, I'm sure you already agree with me. You also know that measuring the results of your recall strategy is relatively straightforward. Send out 100 postcards and complete 41 exams in the next 30 days -- a 41% return. Seems simple enough until we throw in one other variable.
In this case, what happened to the other 59 patients? Did they move, die or change insurance plans? Was their experience at their last visit so horrible that they swore to never return to your office? Or was their recall card simply lost in the mail or inadvertently discarded as junk mail?
Attrition and recall
Patient attrition rates are hard to measure yet they're critical to our understanding how well our practice is growing (or not growing). While we all know patient attrition exists, there is a dearth of data regarding the actual rate. Research we've conducted at The Power Practice has a range as low as 10% and as high as 30%. We believe several factors account for this disparity. Among them, the amount of third-party insurances a practice accepts, the location of the practice and the age of the practice.
Suffice it to say, attrition affects recall in a profound way. My consulting company offers a spreadsheet (e-mail me if you're interested) that shows some startling examples of how powerful this effect is. Here are two examples:
Practice One highly believes in constantly attempting to generate more new patients. The first year in practice it saw 1,000 patients and has an approximate annual rate of new patient growth of 15% -- a rate that's significant by any measure.
With a below average recall rate of 20%, after 20 years in business, this practice should be prepared to examine about 21,000 patients. However, at the end of year 20, the practice has only seen about 16,000 patients. What happened?
Because of the practice's fixation on new patients, its attrition rate was 30%. Certainly a case of a "leaky bucket" if there ever was one!
Practice Two believes strongly in the value of a well-structured recall program. The first year it too saw 1,000 patients. Concentrating heavily on customer service to ensure that its attrition rate remains low, it too saw about 15,000 patients in year number 20.
These two practices have different philosophies that yield about the same number of patients over time. Yet Practice Two is infinitely more profitable. Its attrition rate is only 10% and its recall is 65%. New patient growth rate is "only" 11%. So, if both practices have nearly the same amount of patients, then why is Practice Two more profitable?
Most experts agree that the cost of acquiring a new patient is much more then the cost of retaining a current patient. Practice One, with its obsession on continually garnering new patients, has a much higher patient acquisition cost then Practice Two. Practice Two's philosophy of "make a new patient so happy that he'll never consider leaving us" pays off by allowing it to have a much higher net revenue per patient.
Don't let your bucket leak
The number of patients you see each year is certainly an important metric to track. However, it's also important to track the source of these patients. If you're constantly in search of new patients with the hopes of generating new revenue, then take a look at your own practice's attrition rate and take the necessary steps to decrease a potential leaky bucket.

"You can't have him" is a woman's message to Sen. John McCain in a new video campaign starting today by anti-war group MoveOn.org.
During the advertisement, a woman sits on a pink couch holding a cooing baby boy. She looks into the camera and talks about the child's talents of "trying any new food and chasing after our dog."
She ends by saying, "So, John McCain, when you said you would stay in Iraq for 100 years, were you counting on Alex? Because if you were you can't have him."
In January, the presumptive Republican nominee for president said U.S. troops could spend "maybe 100" years in Iraq. He later defended his statement and said he was referring to a military presence such as the troops currently in Japan, Germany and South Korea. He recently released his own ad stating, "I hate war."
MoveOn.org's $540,000 ad called "Not Alex" will run in the battleground states of Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin and nationally on cable TV. Preliminary testing of the ad showed it is among the most persuasive ads in the last four years, according to Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research.
The ad is being released jointly with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) political action committee, which endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton in the primary. MoveOn.org endorsed Sen. Barack Obama and the joint ad signifies unity against McCain, according to the two organizations.
The Republican National Committee, taking questions about the ad referred by the McCain campaign, said the country needs a president who listens to commanders, not partisan groups like MoveOn.org, according to The Associated Press. "Bringing peace and security to Iraq will require a commander in chief who won't allow partisanship to cloud his judgment," said RNC spokesman Alex Conant.

Despite a deterioration in economic activity at the end of 2013 that has continued through the first quarter of this year, growth is expected to pick up in the second quarter and build throughout the summer, firming to approximately 2.7 percent for all of 2014, according to Fannie Mae's Economic & Strategic Research Group. The near-term outlook remains somewhat clouded due in part to an unsustainable build-up in inventory in the second half of last year and as downside effects from the winter have yet to fully materialize. However, the return of weather to seasonal norms should help boost growth in the second quarter, supported by consumer spending, business investment, and housing starts.
"For our March forecast, we expect economic and housing growth to emerge from the tough winter weather and gain momentum into the spring and summer seasons," says Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan. "Fiscal and monetary policy jitters appear to have waned and the most recent employment numbers came in at reasonable levels, helping to ease concerns of a significant slowdown or risk of recession. In addition, we have seen some improvement for consumers as house prices and equity valuations have continued to make incremental additions to household wealth. However, we also see that consumers are still rebuilding their wealth following the crisis and perhaps taking on a more conservative consumption pattern, so our forecast is likely below consensus. Our expectation is that first quarter real growth will come in at about 2.0 percent on an annualized basis, due somewhat to the weather and in particular to the high level of inventory build-up in the business community, which will have to be worked off."
"With regard to housing, we continue to anticipate that the rise in house prices and mortgage rates will take a toll on home sales and homebuilding activity this year, although some modest gains are expected overall," says Duncan. "Housing starts are expected to rise nearly 20 percent to 1.1 million units this year. In particular, we believe new home sales will continue to perform well as the new home market faces less competition from foreclosures and distressed properties. In addition, supply remains low and time on the market is below the long-term average, which are positive signs for new home sales activity."

The following tests may be used to look for birth defects and inherited diseases when you are pregnant: Tests of the mother's blood, including a check of the level of alpha fetoprotein (AFP). AFP is a protein made by the baby. The AFP test is done between the 15th and 18th weeks of pregnancy. If the amount of AFP is high or low, your health care provider may do other tests. The tests look for defects in the nervous system called neural tube defects, such as spina bifida. They also look for chromosome defects, such as Down syndrome. Ultrasound scans to check the baby for birth defects of the brain, heart, spine, legs, arms, or other organs. Chorionic villus sampling to test a sample of tissue from the placenta for chromosomal problems. This test is done between the 10th weeks and 12th weeks of a pregnancy. Amniocentesis to test the amniotic fluid around the baby or abnormal chromosomes and other substances such as alpha fetoprotein. This test is first done between the 15th andposted 10/10/2007 by rcpoli
I was worried about the exact same thing when I got pregnant! I had been drinking every day and found out about 6 weeks in. I stopped drinking and started combing the internet to find out if any mom had had a baby with problems caused by drinking early in the pregnancy. I didn't find one. :) I'm happy to tell you I'm the proud mama of a bright 2 year old. I think your baby will be just fine, don't worry! Many of my friends were in the same boat. My best friend found out she was 2 months pregnant 2 days after my bachelorette party! Babies are amazing and I think yours will be just perfect.posted 01/03/2014 by HollyKaye704
HERE IS THE REST OF MY ANSWER.I HOPE IT HELPS. I WAS 10 WKSF WHEN I FOUND OUT.I AM 6MO.NOW AND EVERYTHING IS GOING WELL. GOOD LUCK TO YOU! Tests of DNA in a sample of tissue from the baby (obtained, for example, by amniocentesis) to look for problems in the genetic code. Percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling, also called PUBS, umbilical vein sampling, fetal blood sampling, or cordocentesis. This procedure, similar to amniocentesis, tests a sample of the baby's blood from the vein in the umbilical cord. The blood can be tested to look for chromosome problems, infection, blood disorders, or other problems. Fetoscopic tissue sampling, which involves inserting a tiny scope into the amniotic sac to test a sample of the baby's skin for certain severe skin problems. Your health care provider or counselor will discuss the screening results with you. If there is a problem, they will help you understand the problem. They will describe your choices for prevention or treatment.posted 10/10/2007 by rcpoli
I think this happens to most of us! When I just found out I was pregnant with my forth...my 1st question to my Doc was "is my baby going to have fetal alcohol syndrome?" as I burst in to tears. She reassured me that everything would be okay and even said "babies born with FAS are born to Mother's who have 2 or more alcoholic beverages every day the whole pregnancy". That made me feel so much better. Of course, changing your ways immediatley are a MUST as were mine. To make up for my "social drinking" before I knew....I have now started taking my pre natal vitamins, Juice Plus supplements, no caffiene,eating a very well balanced dietand walking 5 days a week. I am sure you baby is just fine. Discuss this with your doctor though.....but I bet they will tell you the same. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!posted 08/11/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am in the same situation. I have also just found out I am 3 months pregnant and I also have been drinking regularly. I am really worried what damage I might have done. I've mainly been drinking a few beers after work most days. My friends say I shouldn't worry so much as they know women who partied through most of their pregnancies (although I think thats really bad). I am about 14 weeks pregnant now and haven't had a drop since I found out. Should I be worried?? I am told that the most crucial time of a babies development is in the first three months so I'm worried its too late!!posted 09/30/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
I just found out that I am pregnant with my first baby and I am the same! The month I found out is the same month I have been at an all day wedding, a 21st, an engagement party and a few house parties, which I have drank at them all some more than other! Which I feel awful about but there isn't much any of us can do, we just have to hope for the best and forgive yourself. Sometimes in order to get pregnant you need to let your hair down and relax, the drink is probably what helped you get pregnant haha so just enjoy the fact that you are going to have a baby and just take care of yourself now! nxposted 07/25/2015 by Jennifergemmell

A couple of thoughts from Rick Nash
Good morning from the Bell Centre in Montreal where the Rangers will have a skate at 11:30.
The Canadiens, unfortunately for you and I, are skating this morning at their practice facility and not here at the arena. So there goes the fresh Jeff Halpern and Brandon Prust quotes I was hoping to provide.
Instead, please accept some thoughts from Rick Nash left over from yesterday's practice in Ottawa. Originally, some of it was supposed to be in today's article about Marian Gaborik practicing on the fourth line. Due to space limitations, that was what was sacrificed to the editing gods.
Nash on if not scoring is the most frustrating thing to an elite goal scorer such as himself of Gaborik: "It depends on the individual. Obviously, for me, the frustrating part is not winning and you're not helping the team win, that's what's frustrating. Beyond that, I've always said when you don't get the chances, that's when it gets frustrating. You don't get any opportunities, that's when you start to worry. If you get chances and they don't go in, that's the way it goes."
Nash on what he's sensing from Gaborik right now: "It's got to be hard, we've all been in slumps and droughts before. He's been in the league a long time, he's a veteran guy, he's got a lot of wisdom in this league in how to handle himself. He kind of knows what he has to do to get scoring."
On Mats Zuccarello: "I remember playing against him in the Olympics. He was one of the guy that we keyed on. Obviously I didn't see much in the NHL. He can bring energy and kind of a complete game."
More soon…

Barely gets the job done
This review is from: KINGWIN DP-1 DisplayPort to VGA Adapter/Active
Pros: Black, works as long as nothing touches it.
Cons: Relatively expensive. If it is touched or moved the least bit, it loses connection and then you have to play with it to get your monitor back on.
Other Thoughts: I have no other brand or replacement to compare to, are they all this touchy? As long as you'll never move your PC, and nothing will ever even slightly touch it, it will work.

Unreliable Adapter
This review is from: KINGWIN DP-1 DisplayPort to VGA Adapter/Active
Pros: Low price. Worked for purpose, initially.
Cons: As they say you get what you paid for. Bought 20 of these adapters and 9 of them failed already. Half of them due to bad mechanical design and the rest due to electronics. The male DP connector breaks easily by just pulling it out of the female socket. The 2 plastic pieces holding the metallic part of the DP connector either splits open or breaks making it unusable unless epoxy or glue is applied to reinforce the connector. These are indeed cheaply made without much quality control.
Other Thoughts: Suggest paying a little more with better quality from other vendors.

The beach is usually a great place to spent the Memorial Day Holiday, But many took a tour of the Washington Waterfront, instead.
Boaters cruised the Pamlico River Saturday in Washington under the blue skies Saturday afternoon. As Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, this is also the first time some vacationers have hit the water this spring. Dottie Creech from Tarboro says being on the waterfront is her way of celebrating the three day holiday.
"We got a lot of friends out here and everything. Everybody gets together and we have cookouts and everything and hang out around the waterfront and the waterfront is beautiful." says Creech.

They will become enraged when asked about the fate of the Androsynth race, which mysteriously disappeared as soon as the Orz arrived. Due to the fact that their language is extremely alien, the player's own translator will have problems deciphering Orz speech, with asterisks to denote words that could not be properly translated. *Dancing*, for example, seems to be a substitute word for combat or conflict.They also seem to prefer staying in this dimension than their true homeworld; when asked why they left their dimension the Orz will say "the other place is *hurt* Orz too much tired for keeping together". They are enemies with the Arilou, who will often warn the player that the Orz are dangerous and cannot be trusted. There is speculation that they are, in fact, projections or manifestations of an incredibly large entity, as the Orz refer to themselves as "one with many *fingers*" while they refer to other races as *many bubbles*.

Duckweed in freshwater aquariums
I know this has probably been hashed before: I have done a search and get too many hits. One through google would not load.
So, what are folks thoughts on this plant in aquariums? I have seen some posts where they love it/hate it. Gets into filters. Dies. Takes over. Denies other plants nitrates: if this is the case, sounds like it would do well to lower nitrates in problem nitrate tanks.
As for the filters, would it be possible to tie a finer bag over the inlet? Or would that be too likely to clog.
The only problem I've ever had with duckweed is that it can multiply too quickly. If you don't mind netting out the excess occasionally, it serves its purpose well. If you have goldfish, it is like candy to them and they will happily consume all the duckweed you can throw their way.
no goldfish. nawww, I don't mind netting it out.
however, one tank I'll probably need a pre-filter on the small water pump I have in there.

Calling All Quail!
Central Missouri Quail Unlimited Chapter chairman both told me about a cooperative quail habitat effort among some Cass County landowners.
About five years ago, these two men noticed that they had four active quail habitat projects going on in one section of Cass County. The projects were successful on their own. For example, Stephen Riffle, a landowner in the county, said he went from two coveys to eight in one year after edge feathering and other habitat work.
Nick and Tom felt that if they could link those projects by building a network of Cass County landowners and partners interested in quail management, it would be like putting more raisins in the oatmeal.
For their plan to work, they had to have more landowners who wanted to manage for quail and the help of local USDA leaders and the farm programs they managed. They also needed to provide the equipment and technical advice for landowners who needed help.
They started small, with Tom knocking on neighbors' doors to see whether they wanted more quail. If they did, Tom and Nick studied their land and suggested management practices that would benefit both the landowner and quail.
It wasn't long before these habitat enhancement projects paid off with more coveys. People engaged in quail habitat work placed signs on their land calling attention to their involvement. Tom Taylor, a cooperator, said, "These signs are a great way to show off my project."
The good news about quail management spread quickly through the farming community. Soon, it wasn't hard to find landowners who wanted to start quail habitat projects. The isolated, lone-raisin approach had shifted to landscape level management.
"Seeing landowners excited about restoring quail makes my job worthwhile," Nick said.
Landowner interest, excitement and support were vital but so were partner support and finding a way for busy landowners to get the work done.
Nick and Tom recruited the local NRCS (Natural Resource Conservation Service) and FSA (Farm Service Agency) to support quail habitat restoration efforts. Both these federal agencies helped by promoting quail-friendly practices to local landowners.
What started as a two-man team has now exploded into a cooperative effort between landowners, FSA, NRCS, MDC and QU.
"Partnerships are why we have been able to do as much as we have," said Tom Lampe. "Money from Quail Unlimited and landowners, plus state and federal programs is a powerful combination."
Because many landowners don't have the time, equipment or expertise to manage habitats, Nick and Tom also located several reliable local contractors willing to do necessary edge feathering and spraying to enhance habitat conditions.
The results speak for themselves. They went from four quail habitat projects in Cass County in 2000 to 110 in 2004. Over 17.5 miles of hedgerow have been renovated, 98 CRP contracts have established native warm-season grass, and 3,574 acres are under active management for quail.
Research shows that every acre of habitat work affects 10 surrounding acres by increasing overall habitat suitability. Using this rule of thumb, there have been 35,740 acres affected in Cass County alone since 2000.

Southeast Quail Study Group sponsored by Quail Unlimited, The Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and The Southeastern section of The Wildlife Society www.qu.org/seqsg/nbci/nbci.cfm
Nick and Tom's efforts have not gone unnoticed. The West Central Missouri Quail Unlimited Chapter won the National Quail Habitat Award in 2002 and 2003. The group hopes to receive the prestigious award again this fall for 2004 habitat work completed.
When you get the cooperation ball rolling, it usually ends up snowballing. Cass County is one of two counties in the country that have received a federal grant aimed at building quail habitat through utilization of government programs. This grant provides funds to hire someone who works entirely on quail habitat projects. "This grant has put everything on a larger scale where it will be easier to achieve success," said Nick.
All this began because someone took the time to ask their neighbors to pitch in and make a difference for quail.
If you have trouble calling quail to your land, ask yourself if the "raisin concept" applies to your farm. If it does, talk to your neighbors about quail habitat management. After you've drummed up some interest and support, contact your private land conservationist or your local NRCS office to put a plan in place.
Working together just makes sense.

Nevada marriage hearing set
Timothy Kincaid
July 1st, 2014
A federal appeals court says it will consider Nevada's gay marriage ban on Sept. 8.
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has scheduled 20 minutes of oral arguments in the case of Beverly Sevcik v. Brian Sandoval. The court will also hear arguments that morning over similar cases in Idaho and Hawaii.
You may recall that Attorney General Cortez Masto and Governor Sandoval have pulled all state defense of the marriage ban, leaving only the Coalition for the Protection of Marriage to argue the case.
Nevada AG Asks to Withdraw Brief Defending Marriage Ban
Jim Burroway
February 10th, 2014
Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto is asking the Ninth Circuit Court to allow her to withdraw a brief that had been filed on behalf of Gov. Brian Sandoval defending the state's constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. In the statement, Cortez Masto cited last month's ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court which held that discrimination based on sexual orientation warrented heightened scrutiny. That ruling in an unrelated case concerning jury selection had a huge impact on Nevada's arguments:
"After thoughtful review and analysis, the State has determined that its arguments grounded upon equal protection and due process are no longer sustainable," Cortez Masto said in Monday's statement.
BuzzFeed has asked a spokeswoman for Sandoval for comment on Monday's filing. The Associated Press reported, "Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval says he agrees with the move, saying it's clear the state's arguments are no longer defensible in court."
Eight couples are suing the state of Nevada in Federal Court challenging the state's marriage ban. A Federal Judge granted Gov. Sandoval's motion to dismiss in 2012. Lambda Legal has taken the case to the Ninth Circuit on appeal.
This latest move follows the earlier decision by Carson City Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover to ask to withdraw his brief for the same reasons. With both defendants out of the picture, it leaves the Coalition for the Protection of Marriage as the sole defender of the ban. The Coalition was allowed to intervene by the U.S. District Court. But with the U.S. Supreme Court last summer turning back the Prop 8 challenge because outside intervening supporters lacked standing, it would seem that Nevada is on the cusp of letting Elvises marry gay couples in Vegas.


text: October 3, 2013: "When God comes near to us, there is feasting." This was a central focus of Pope Francis' remarks following the readings at Mass in the chapel of the Domus Sanctae Marthae residence on Thursday morning, together with the Council of 8 Cardinals meeting this week at the Vatican. Pope Francis spoke of the need to resist transforming our memory of salvation into a mere recollection or a "habitual event". Ezra's reading from the Book of the Law – which was believed lost, as recoded in the first Reading of the day from the Book of Nehemiah – occasioned the Holy Father's reflections. The People of God, he said, "had the memory of the Law, but it was a distant memory." The recovery of the Law brought them, "because they had the experience of closeness of salvation":"This is important not only in the great moments in history, but also in the moments of our life: we all have the memory of salvation, everyone. I wonder, though: is this memory close to us, or is it a memory a bit far away, spread a little thin, a bit archaic, a little like a museum [piece]… it can get far away [from us]… and when the memory is not close, when we do not experience the closeness of memory, it enters into a process of transformation, and the memory becomes a mere recollection."When memory is distant, he added, "it is transformed into recollection, but when it comes near, it turns into joy, and this is the joy of the people." This, he continued, constitutes "a principle of our Christian life." When memory is already close, said Pope Francis, "it warms the heart and gives us joy.":"This joy is our strength. The joy of the nearness of memory. Domesticated memory, on the other hand, which moves away and becomes a mere recollection, does not warm the heart. It gives us neither joy nor strength. This encounter with memory is an event of salvation, it is an encounter with the love of God that has made history with us and saved us. It is a meeting of salvation - and it is so wonderful to be saved, that we need to make feast."The Church, said Pope Francis, has "[Christ's] memory": the "memory of the Passion of the Lord." We too, he said, run the risk of "pushing this memory away, turning it into a mere recollection, in a rote exercise.":"Every week we go to church, or rather when someone dies, we go to the funeral … and this memory often times bores us, because it is not near. It is sad, but the Mass is often turned into a social event and we are not close to the memory of the Church, which is the presence of the Lord before us. Imagine this beautiful scene in the Book of Nehemiah: Ezra who carries the Book of Israel's memory and the people once again grow near to their memory and weep, the heart is warmed, is joyful, it feels that the joy of the Lord is its strength – and the people makes a feast, without fear, simply.""Let us ask the Lord," concluded Pope Francis, " for the grace to always have His memory close to us, a memory close and not domesticated by habit, by so many things, and pushed away into mere recollection."

Steel Cake Oversized Military watch
I'm liking the vintage looks of the Steel Cake Oversized Military watch range.
Very much a watch of the past in looks, particularly those vintage-style numbers and very simple design. The face and quartz movement is housed in a matte stainless steel casing, which all looks very stylish - but what's going on with that canvas strap? It co-ordinates, but I'd replace it almost immediately.
Theres a choice of colours available now (including the ones above), retailing for a reasonable $125 (just over £60).

BAKER knows that rebuilding your transmission can sometimes seem like a scary and daunting task, but we assure you that it can be actually quite easy with our Master Rebuild Kit!
Rebuild your 1987-2006 EVO/TC88 5-speed transmission and install the best BAKER upgrades for performance and durability with the new BAKER Master Rebuild Kit. This kit includes two of our newest products, the Fixed Spindle Smooth Shift Kit and our Truss Style Shift Lever Kit, and much more, plus all of the hardware needed for installation.

- - New Truss Style Shift Lever Kit, with broached splines that won't strip instead of the stock cast-in splines and a stronger cross section that won't break.
- - Anti-Overshift Ratchet Pawl, which eliminates the common problem of a broken pawl spring from the stock ratchet pawl going through the transmission gears and destroying your gearset!
- - Billet Steel Shift Fork Kit for improved durability.These forks are hard chrome plated, with a cross section 3x thicker than stock and oil reliefs to ensure proper lubrication. Fork rod included for installation.
- - Heavy Duty LSD Throwout Bearing Kit, designed to address the failures of the stock clutch throwout bearing in 1987-up applications with the ball-and-ramp actuator.
- - High Torque Bearing Kit, designed to eliminate oil leaks and ease serviceability.
- - Transmission Rebuild Kit, includes all bearings, seals, gaskets, snap rings and retaining nuts needed for installation of the products in the BAKER Master Rebuild Kit and freshen up your existing 5-speed at the same time!
