I have a frozen hard as a rock pork tenderloin that i was wondering if I could put in the crock pot. I tried to go through the search list and didn't have luck finding an answer to my question. So is this OK? How long to leave in and on high or low? When do I put the seasonings in (I am doing the onion soup, ranch packet sauce).

Comments (4)
It's fine to put it in frozen. I would say about 8-10 hours on low or 5-6 on high. After it's been in for a hour or two I'd do my best to rub on the seasonings.
I tried to go back and edit my original post but anyway, if anyone looks at this post I have put the roast in.......I only have cream of chicken soup no cream of mushroom. Do you think that would be bad with the ranch seasoning and Lipton onion soup mix? Should I just use some water instead? Thanks! Tomorrow is payday and I am trying to fly by the seat of my pants with what I've got!
Beverly mom to:
Jenna 6/9/99, Isabelle 6/2/04 and Lucien 1/30/08
I do this all the time! I always cook on high. The cream of chicken and ranch/onion sounds fine to me. I would not add water, the pork will make a lot of juice on it's own.

I wouldn't even cook it on high if you're planning to cook it all day. Low will be fine.

Prayer — and a weekly teleconference — has kept the Jones family connected.
The 14 siblings (nine women and five men) and a host of other family members from five to seven states gather at 7 a.m. each Saturday for the prayer line and "minichurch" service.
"It brings us closer. It bonds us," said sister Anna Jones, of Baton Rouge. "The main thing is keeping God first in our lives and staying connected with family whom we love so dear."
The Jones family started the teleconference prayer sessions in 2008 after the death of family patriarch Mose Jones.
"We didn't know what would become of it, how long it was going to last or what kind of impact it would make on the family as a whole … It's really been a blessing," said brother Leroy Jones, of Baton Rouge.
Anna Jones said she wakes up early each week in anticipation of the teleconference.
"I live for that Saturday morning. I don't miss it regardless of where I am. Whether I'm out of the country or not, I call in," said the Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church member.
The weekly lineup consists of prayer requests, praise reports, prayer, songs and a short teaching. It also has a monthly theme.
"It's set up like a church service," said Leroy Jones, a minister at Counsel of God Ministries in Baton Rouge. "God is moving on that prayer line … We've been faithful and God honors faithfulness."
Brother Frederick Jones, of Pineville, is coordinator of the prayer line.
The family has also taken six siblings retreats to such destinations as Hot Springs, Arkansas; Memphis, Tennessee; Cozumel, Mexico; and, most recently, Branson, Missouri.
The Jones family, originally from Winnsboro, has always been a close-knit family led by former sharecropper Mose and Beatrice Jones, who believed in God and the power of prayer.
"They raised us to depend on God, to pray, to have faith in God, and that's the foundation they gave us growing up," Leroy Jones said. "We saw them demonstrate love. We saw how they lived their life the best they could before the Lord, and it was just a beautiful thing."
He said the faith of their parents who were Baptists spread to the children — five of the siblings are ministers — and their children's children. One Saturday a month is dedicated to the younger generations, he said.
"To pass that along to the children is a lost art in this day and age," Leroy Jones said.
The prayer line may provide a place of inspiration and fellowship for other relatives who may not have been raised in a household of faith, he said.
"We got some aunts and cousins who might not ever go to church, and Saturday morning they're right there on the prayer line. That's their church," Leroy Jones said.
Sometimes, the line can get emotional as family members have had to deal with other deaths, trials and struggles. Anna Jones said they find strength in each other.
"When one hurts, we all hurt, but when one is happy we're all happy," she said.
"We strengthen each other during those times," Frederick Jones said. "It's been a support like no other and it can be highly emotional. But for the most part, it's been tremendous and a lot of love."
Said Leroy Jones, "We have family members that are battling addictions. They are battling all types of things that really have them in bondage that they need to be set free ... We join forces with each other. We really feel each other's pain, because we're family and that's important to us."
Anna Jones recalled a distant cousin, Celie Stanford, who left Louisiana for California years ago as a child. Stanford got to know the family through the prayer line before her death.
"She would come on the prayer line on Saturday morning at 5 a.m.," Anna Jones said. "She united with the family through the prayer line and when she died, a lot of us traveled to Los Angeles for her funeral. If it had not been for that prayer line, the family would not have actually known her."
The teleconference can have its share of levity, mainly from 80-year-old "Uncle Hank" McDonald, of Chicago.
"This is an uncle that was always kind of quiet and reserved," Anna Jones said of her mother's brother. "But we gave him a purpose. And his purpose every Saturday morning is to greet everyone coming on the line. He is so happy and jolly."
His greeting and nicknames often garner much laughter.
"He keeps things entertaining and keeps it going. He lives for this," she said.
"What we've built on Saturday mornings there's no substitute for it," Frederick Jones said.
St. Alma Baptist Church will reach into its distant and recent past for its 140th anniversary celebration.
Terrance will also be the speaker for the 142nd church anniversary services at 8 a.m. Sunday at Shiloh Baptist Church, 185 Eddie Robinson Drive.
Following the Holy Spirit has been vital to the growth and history of St. Mark United Methodist Church in Baton Rouge.
St. Mark recognizes the role of the spirit with the theme "Surrendering to the Holy Spirit" during its 125th anniversary celebration at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 17, at the church, 6217 Glen Oaks Drive.
The theme is taken from John 14:15-31 and Romans 8:22-27.
"We have not forgotten the fact that St. Mark began as a group of believers in the pioneers' days of Baton Rouge," said the Rev. Derrick D. Hills, St. Mark's pastor since 2008. "After meeting in the homes of Christians espousing the Methodist tradition, the Holy Spirit moved them after some time to charter and organize as a local church. This idea of Christians surrendering to the Holy Spirit is the reality that gave birth to St. Mark and it is the reality that will continue to keep us alive, vital and growing for 125 years more."
The speaker for the event will be the Rev. Clifton Conrad, senior pastor of Camphor Memorial United Methodist Church.
Faith Matters runs every other Saturday in The Advocate. Terry Robinson can be reached at (225) 388-0238 or email email@example.com.

Non DevOps environments are comprised of functional silos which can't evolve as the business
Dr. Max kicked off this month's Cloud Foundry Community Advisory Board (CAB) Meeting with an announcement that this meeting, in its present format, would continue for at least one more month.
I've been dabbling with the Internet of Things since before the Internet was a "Thing." Way back I fiddled with hooking up various sensors and actuators to my Apple ][ and Amiga 1000 computers, and mucked around with powered devices over X10.
If you've spent any time at leading cloud computing conferences, you may have come across the meme "pets vs cattle." (Here is a lengthy slideshare presentation by Randy Bias of EMC/Cloudscaling discussing the difference between pets and cattle in a cloud computing world).
Prior to joining ActiveState as a Technology Evangelist I was a developer at a variety of companies. During my development career I was constantly fighting the same battle: getting mired in the weeds of software development. I wanted to build cool software and applications, and I was able to do that, but at the great cost of dealing with infrastructure headaches.
In a recent microservices blog I discussed the practice of Creating and Curating Access Libraries, suggesting that "The microservice provider should be responsible for building and stewarding client libraries used to access the service."
The cloud provides businesses with greater agility by allowing them to deliver new offerings more quickly and with greater elasticity. However, it also is important to understand the associated costs of cloud utilization.
Last month I was lucky enough to meet with the some of the staff members of the OpenStack Foundation while they were here in Vancouver. This was their first trip here in the process of planning for the summer OpenStack Summit which will be happening a few blocks from the ActiveState headquarters here in Vancouver, B.C Canada.
For most, creating a DevOps environment requires a new found coordination of Dev and IT that simply wasn't part of the organization's original Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). If you're fortunate enough to move the organization's development and release structure to a more symbiotic mode, the next step is to shoot for the DevOps' apex or continuous deployment.
If you use Stackato you are likely familiar with both the comprehensive and easy-to-use Stackato web console, as well as the stackato command line tool, each of which can be used to orchestrate and manage the applications you deploy to your Stackato cloud. Cloud Foundry provides a similar "cf" CLI for the same purpose.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

I need to build a C++ library to distribute among our customers. The library must be able to be accessed from a wide range of languages including VB6, C++, VB.net and C#.
I've being using ActiveX controls (ocx files) until now. But I wonder if there is a better kind of library (dll, etc.) that I can build. What do you recommend?
I'm limited to C++ as the library language, but you can mention other languages for reference to other developers.
P.S. Sorry if the question was already asked. I had some trouble finding a suitable title. Feel free to correct my English.
Edit: Seems like the best choice is either DLLs or OCX (i.e., COM), but I'm still having some doubts on which one will I choose. Which one is more suitable to modern languages (.NET for instance)? Which one would be easier to use from an end developer perspective?

Health & Safety
A massive bed of new-technology concrete blocks will be installed at the end of a new Florida runway to slow stray airplanes to a safe stop.
The lightweight concrete system, called an Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS), is being installed as part of current construction on a new, 8,000-foot-long runway at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
EMAS is crushable concrete beds that are layered so that the aircraft tires sink into the material and the plane decelerates as it rolls through.
'100% Success'
According to the Sun Sentinel, 6,115 blocks will be used at the end of the runway to form an area 563 feet long by 178 feet wide that could stop a 400-ton Boeing 747 moving at 80 mph.
EMAS has safely stopped nine overrunning planes, according to the FAA.
"The key thing is that it has worked every single time," Kevin Quan, spokesman for manufacturer Zodiac Arresting Systems, told the Sun Sentinel.
"We have a 100 percent success record—with little or no damage to the aircraft," Quan said.
The system will cost $17 million, which is included in the overall $791 million cost of the runway project, according to the Sun Sentinel.
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport became the first Florida airport to use EMAS when it installed the system on its north runway in 2004, according to the Florida Department of Transportation.
9 Stopped Planes
FDOT said the idea of crushable concrete beds was first created and developed by the Federal Highway Administration after a DC-10 jetliner overran a runway at New York's JFK Airport. The plane ended up in frigid waters; luckily, none of its 177 passengers were seriously injured.
"The key thing is that it has worked every single time," Kevin Quan, spokesman for manufacturer Zodiac Arresting Systems, told the Sun Sentinel.
Since then, the FAA has required airports to have a 1,000-foot-long overrun area at the ends of runways.
However, many airports were built before the standard was adopted, and, in some cases, the full safety area is impeded by lack of available land, the FAA noted.
The FAA allows airports to use EMAS when land isn't available for the 1,000-foot overrun; a standard EMAS extends 600 feet from the end of a runway.
According to the FAA, many of the EMAS beds installed before 2006 have needed periodic re-painting to maintain the system's functionality and integrity. A new plastic seal coating has since been developed, which should eliminate the need for periodic re-painting.
To date, EMAS has safely stopped nine overrunning aircrafts, the FAA said.
There are 74 EMAS runway ends at 47 airports throughout the U.S., and plans are underway to install 15 more systems at nine additional airports.

1. So, you go to college.
2. And for whatever reason, you're not really into the partying scene.
3. So while all your friends are like:
4. You're just like:
5. Everyone assumes your weekends are super boring:
6. They assume this is you, every Thursday night:
7. And sometimes you do just feel like staying in.
8. But obviously, you do go out sometimes! You still go dancing, even though you feel a little awkward.
9. And you still go to parties:
10. Believe it or not, you can even go to a game sober and still enjoy yourself.
11. And of course, most of your friends are thrilled to let you be the designated driver for the night.
12. But, not everyone gets it. People are like, "Hey, aren't you THIRSTY? Have a drink!"
13. "It's just beer!"
14. "How can you NOT DRINK???"
15. The worst part is that everyone assumes you're basically a fifth grade D.A.R.E. instructor thumbing your nose at them.
16. Everyone thinks you judge THEM for drinking.
17. But you honestly don't care what other people do. Really, you don't. You've just made your personal choice.
18. You still date.
19. You still have a good time.
20. You just have way less of these moments:
21. So the next morning, when your friends are pretty much DOA in Hangoverville:
22. You're like:
23. Yeah, sometimes you wish you could trade your Diet Coke for something a little stronger.
24. And maybe you'll decide to drink someday.
25. But for now, you're happy with who you are.

Fracking is a highly controversial and divisive issue. Proponents argue that it could be the biggest energy boom since the Arabian oil fields were opened almost 80 years ago, but this comes at a serious cost to the environment. Among the detrimental effects of the process is that the waste water it produces is over five times saltier than seawater, which is, to put it mildly, not good. A research team led by MIT that has found an economical way of removing salt from fracking waste water that promises to not only reduce pollution, but conserve water as well.Read More
A novel study undertaken by an international collaboration of universities – headed by King's College London – aims to assess the impact of toxic fumes and other pollutants on the residents of high-rise buildings. Such studies are becoming increasingly important to metropolitan areas where real estate is scarce, forcing us to build ever upwards in order to satiate the ever-increasing need for accommodation.Read More
According to researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA), we might soon be able to detect hints of technologically advanced alien civilizations by measuring high levels of polluting gases in the atmospheres of distant exoplanets. The approach should become viable soon after the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is launched in late 2018.Read More
A new study has examined the potentially disastrous implications that a combination of global warming and air pollution could have on crop yields by the year 2050. The research is one of the first projects to take into account a combination of the two dangers, and highlights the humanitarian crisis that could arise should the threat not be tackled head-on. Read More
Fine dust pollution triggers all manner of health problems, but accurately tracking its concentration across cities and regions takes considerable manpower. That could get a whole lot easier with a sensor that attaches to a smartphone and measures particulate matter (fine dust) levels in the air, which is under development at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.Read More
Gas-powered lawnmowers are notorious polluters. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, running a new gas mower for one hour produces as much air pollution as would be generated by 11 typical automobiles being driven for the same amount of time. Switching to an electric or reel mower is certainly one option, but for those applications where it's gotta be gasoline, a team of engineering students from the University of California, Riverside are developing another: an attachment that they claim reduces noxious emissions by over 90 percent. Read More
A famous red chalk on paper drawing, widely accepted as a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, is rapidly deteriorating from the effects of years of exposure to pollution, light, and heat. Worst of all, many centuries in unregulated and humid storage has led to extensive yellowing and browning of the paper. Recently, however, researchers from Italy and Poland have developed a new non-destructive, nano-level method to identify the root causes of the degradation and assist in planning appropriate conservation strategies.Read More
Although hippos may look slow and docile, they're actually very aggressive, killing more people every year than any other large African animal. So, it would follow that you wouldn't want to swim anywhere near them. That's why when researchers from Yale University and the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies wanted to study the effects of hippo dung on water quality in Kenya's Mara River, they sent in three autonomous air boats instead of people. To help those boats blend in, they were dressed up as crocodiles. Read More
Air pollution is a problem in many of the world's major cities and removing it requires 24/7 solutions, as well as a bit of imagination. Taking a literary run at the task, the University of Sheffield has revealed what it calls the "world's first air-cleansing poem," which is a combination of a new work by award-winning writer Simon Armitage and a chemical formula developed at Sheffield by Professor Tony Ryan. The hope is that it will not only raise awareness of air pollution, but also help persuade British industry to adopt the air-cleansing technology more widely.Read More
As the Deepwater Horizon incident showed us, oil spills can be huge environmental disasters. That said, there are also considerable challenges in dealing with the waste products generated by the forestry and agriculture industries. Now, scientists from Switzerland's Empa research group have come up with a method of addressing the one problem with the other – they've developed sponges made from cellulose waste, that can soak up 50 times their own weight in oil.

DES MOINES - What had been speculated for months became official Saturday night - RAGBRAI XXXIX will begin in Glenwood on Sunday morning, July 24.
RAGBRAI, the nation's largest cross-state bicycle ride, will be starting in Glenwood for a record-tying sixth time.
Glenwood was the first overnight town announced during a RAGBRAI Route announcement party Saturday night in Des Moines. Other overnight stops on the Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa will include Atlantic, Carroll, Boone, Altoona, Grinnell, Coralville and Davenport.
Interest in next week's public meeting of the group working to establish an archeological interpretive center here has been heightened with the announcement of a $602,478 state planning grant.
Plans call for the center to be constructed on a five-acre tract on the south side of Highway 34 at its intersection with Levi Road. It is at the edge of the 900-plus acre state archeological preserve established in 2009. The proposed building site is known locally as the trailhead for Foothills Park walking trail.
A 20-year-old Glenwood man accused of robbing a Pizza Hut employee in the restaurant parking lot earlier this year has been sentenced to serve 15 years in prison.
Matt Lothrop thinks he was probably a fourth grader at West Elementary School when he first started thinking about becoming a television sports reporter.
"I was in the Optimist Speech Contest and found that I liked speaking and presenting myself," Lothrop said during a recent interview. "Of course, I've always liked sports. Unfortunately, I realized I was probably never good enough to play sports for a living, so I figured why not cover sports for a living."
An odor caused by a light fixture that had overheated forced the evacuation of the Glen Haven nursing home Friday morning.
More than 50 residents were in the two-story structure when the evacuation was ordered around 9:30 a.m.
Chilled residents were wrapped in blankets as they were promptly moved to the front parking lot and an adjacent courtyard area. Temperatures were above freezing when the evacuation took place.
Mills County Master Photographer John Scanlan has earned international acclaim for his award-winning work, depicting not only his artistic eye and ability, but the natural beauty of the dozens of countries he's visited around the world over the past two decades. Now, the name he's made for himself is about to become ever bigger.
The Glenwood community will formally kick off the holiday season with a "Lights on the Square Spectacular" on Thursday, Dec. 2.
A 10-year Glenwood Community School District employee resigned from her teaching position last month, citing injuries relating to an incident that occurred on the job last February.
Janene K. Owens, a special education teacher in Glenwood since 2000, submitted her letter of resignation to the Glenwood Board of Directors on Oct. 5, 2010, and it was accepted by the board on Oct. 11.
The drunken driver charged in a tragic pickup-motorcycle collision last August in Harrison County that killed four motorcyclists, including three from Mills County, has pleaded not guilty.
Andrew Schlictemeier, 21, entered a written plea of not guilty late last week on four counts of vehicular homicide. Schlictemeier is charged for his role in an accident along an Interstate 29 construction zone near the Little Sioux Interchange on Aug. 9. The motorcyclists were returning home from a rally in Sturgis, S.D.
MALVERN - Chantry Elementary School was in lockdown mode Friday morning, Oct. 15, as Mills County Sheriff's deputies searched the neighborhood near the school for a subject believed to be armed and dangerous that had been involved in a domestic disturbance at 94 Main Street in Malvern.

´Lord of the Rings´ Taps the Net to Build Excitement for Film
By RICK LYMAN
Published: January 11, 2001
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 10 — At 12:01 a.m. Pacific Standard Time on Friday, the official Web site for the forthcoming film trilogy based on J. R. R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" books is to be simultaneously reinaugurated around the world in 10 languages.
Making their first appearance on www.lordoftherings.net will be dozens of features, including video and audio clips, an interactive map of Middle Earth, chat rooms, screen savers, interviews with cast members, links to other Tolkien sites, and probably much more than most people care to know about how the director Peter Jackson and his crew members are creating Tolkien's world of hobbits, elves, wizards, orcs, dwarfs and black riders.
But the people at New Line Cinema are not dealing with most people. They are dealing with Web-savvy, hobbit-obsessed fans of "The Lord of the Rings." And there are millions of them out there.
In April, when New Line offered a trailer about the films on the previous movie Web site, there were 1.7 million downloads the first day and 6.6 million by the end of the first week, surpassing the download fever evoked by other films, including the 1.1 million downloads of the trailer for the most recent "Star Wars" film during its first day on the Web.
Anticipation has been fervid for the official Web site's reintroduction and for the two-minute trilogy trailer that is to be shown in theaters for the first time on Friday at the beginning of New Line's latest release, "13 Days." Some 400 Web sites are dedicated to the movie trilogy and several hundred more focus on other Tolkien-related themes (www.25hobbits.com, for example, ranks Tolkien-related sites by their popularity).
For months, sites have been counting down to the Dec. 19 release of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," the first installment in the film series, and in recent days many sites have added a daily countdown to the reintroduction of the film trilogy's Web site.
"This has taken 30 percent of my time for over a year, and the commitment of materials and resources has been massive," said Gordon Paddison, New Line's senior vice president for worldwide interactive marketing and business development, who is focused on building a relationship with Tolkien fans. ""Not until the movie comes out do we want to ask the audience for anything. Until then, it's all about giving things to them."
Since "The Blair Witch Project" streaked out of nowhere to hit status in the summer of 1999, with its success built partly on a fervent Internet fan base, Hollywood has been wondering how best to market movies on the Web. The challenge has not proved easy, and nothing has matched the viral power of the "Blair Witch" phenomenon.
When a movie is almost magically embraced by the Web — sometimes with the connivance of the distribution company — a strange relationship forms among the cybercommunity of fans, the filmmakers and the studio marketers. The online ferment includes nitpicking about casting choices, complaints about script changes and gossip across the globe about every nuance of the production. However, when everything clicks, a network of eager Internet evangelists evolves to promote and support the film.
Last summer "X-Men" was embraced. The forthcoming "Spider- Man" and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" have been similarly charmed.
Movies with superhero, sword and sorcery, science fiction or teenage horror themes appeal to young and predominantly male moviegoers, the same demographic that spends the most time Web-surfing and often makes up the bulk of opening-weekend moviegoers.
"You need the product that matches the audience," said Amir Malin, chairman of Artisan Entertainment, which bought "The Blair Witch Project" at the Sundance Film Festival. "I'd say that 95 percent of the films in the marketplace don't really lend themselves to an Internet marketplace."
For the last year many movie sites have trumpeted such nuggets as pirated photographs from the trilogy's filming locations in New Zealand or gossip gleaned from newspaper interviews with the films' cast and crew members.
Harry Knowles, the creator of the best-known of these Web movie sites, www.aint-it-cool-nws.com, flew to New Zealand to hang around the sets during the final days of shooting and to attend the wrap party. New Line, which is owned by Time-Warner, was rewarded with a multipart, near book-length series of gushing reports that Mr. Knowles filed on his site and that were linked to dozens of other movie and Tolkien sites.
Joe Nimziki, New Line's president for theatrical marketing, said: "On the positive side, when you have a project like this that has generated so much interest on the Web, you know that you already have a built-in core audience.
"What you have to be careful of," he said, "is making sure you don't do anything that alienates your rabid core audience."
The trilogy's filmmakers decided to be as open as possible with the Tolkien Web sites, going so far as to adopt 40 of them, providing them a steady diet of images, sound clips and behind-the-scenes news.

form the labyrinth school ...
usually people ask before using someone others work !!!! there are enough free stock pictures around, so why taking mine non stock pictures ?
does anyone care about copyright anymore ?
does anyone care about copyright anymore ?
Your copyright was not violated, I used this for a class project I gave you full credit, and you enabled your work to be downloaded. I do not plan to sale this at all it was merely an exercise which demonstrated, to my instructor, what my makeup art can be used for. Anything that I sale I use my own stuff. I have NOT violated any copyright laws with a student project and as for ask first, I was on a deadline and did not have time enough to ask. And above all, I gave you credit. I am sure I am not that only one who has taken your images when they are easily downloadable and no watermarks attached, possibly have even made prints of your work with that download. I do not enable prints to be sold on here so that you don't have to worry about, and I post on here just to document my work. I am very surprised that anyone would make such a big deal about a student's work. But I guess people are always unpredictable. Sorry for your inconvenience but I am not stealing your work in any shape or form.
i don't do stock pictures, and this ridiculous "free download" check box should be disabled by default !
that's what i will do now, deleting most of my gallery and unchecking that ridiculous check box !
that's what i will do now, deleting most of my gallery and unchecking that ridiculous check box !
You don't need to delet your gallery to disable the free downloads you can do that by editing each image. Unless you're just wanting to delete them. Whatever you deside. Personally if I were you I would have been greatful to the artist for considering my work to include in their study. But that's just me.
i basically never say no if someone asked me to use it, but i'm getting tired of seeing my pictures everywhere on the net without being informed of even on places i don't want them to be online !
Ok. I get that but here is my advise to you. If you do take down all of your work from DA and you haven't copyright them professionally then techinally you won't have that proof. So I am not sure how to do it cause I've never done it but you may be able to put them in storeage.... I've seen others doing that. See if that is possible.
Wonderful! You also captured the mural on the wall!
"cadrage" (framing?) is perfect on top, bottom, left, right
nice work
where is this building? It's a really amazing pic
So charming place...

Why do great bands like the Shocking Blue get overlooked or even forgotten? The band had a #1 single in 1970 with the tune "Venus," and I'm sure the rock historians write the band off as a one hit wonder, but they've got plenty of great songs.
Krist Novoselic's column on music and politics runs every Tuesday on Reverb. Check back on Friday when he writes about what he's been listening to.
Needless to say, reaching the top slot on the Billboard chart helps sell a lot of records. This means the band's eponymous LP wasn't too hard to find - I recall copies would frequently turn up in the used bins back in the mid 1980s. This is one of those records that's a delight to listen to from start to finish. It's got great production with horns and even plenty of coral sitar. Good mix of sounds but ultimately there are nice hooks and fun grooves.
The LP got heavy rotation back in the early days of Nirvana. So much that the riff to the tune "Love Buzz" got busted out at a band practice. We ran with it and came up with a version of the song and recorded it as our first 7" single.
The Shocking Blue hailed from Holland and the force behind the band was guitarist / songwriter Robbie Van Leeuwen. Klaasje van der Wal is a bass player god! The late Mariska Veres is a great vocalist too. Cor van der Beek did the drum duties.
If you want to hear more influences, check out the their song "Send Me A Postcard" and then listen to the bass line to Nirvana's "Lounge Act".
I also recommend their singles, "Hello Darkness" and "Deamon Lover" - but if you can find it, listen to that whole Shocking Blue LP.

For me, the ultimate Capri hike is the Sentiero dei Fortini, the Trail of the Forts, on the forgotten west coast of the island. It starts amongst garden terraces but soon leads to a series of wild headlands crowned by a string of medieval towers. On this remote, cactus-strewn shoreline, the sea is a dazzling shade of green. Lizards are poised motionlessly along the trail like nature's gargoyles. At irregular intervals, carved stone steps lead down to the water. There are no sand beaches on the route, just dark rocks from which you can leap into the crystalline water. Gazing up at the brooding cliff faces, you can imagine history's many visitors to Capri—the parade of ancient aristocrats, rebellious Victorians and troubled writers—swimming in the same spot. As the Roman poet Statius wrote of Capri in the second century A.D., "Peace untroubled reigns there, and life is leisurely and calm, with quiet undisturbed and sleep unbroken."
Tony Perrottet's forthcoming book, The Sinner's Grand Tour: A Journey Through the Historical Underbelly of Europe, recounts a trip from London to Capri.

I'm looking to by a new bike, but need help sorting out the options. I currently ride a 1989 bianchi tangent. It still works fine, nothing really wrong with it, but I would like to upgrade to something lighter and faster. I think the bike is comparable to a volpe. It has a steel frame and suntour XC comp compnents. It weighs 24-25 pounds. My concern is that if I am going to spend money to upgrade I want to make sure that I will notice an improvement, or why buy a new bike at all.
The amount of money I spend is less important than the decision to buy and making sure I'm happy with the bike. The riding i do is recreational, fitness, training type rides, but I like to go fast. I doubt I will ever cross race, but I will put some road tires on for triathlons. (again, just for fun). So, of course I could get by with my bike, but I like a quality ride and want fast and light. I will mostly ride on asphalt, but live in a rural area with a lot of dirt/gravel roads that I run in to when I'm out exploring. I am partial to bianchi and don't see myself buying anything else. My question is, will an axis be a noticeable upgrade or would a cross concept be better? I will at times want a rack on the back with a pannier to bring clothes to work in. I could get a rack that mounts to the seat post. Would that work o.k on the cross concept?

Guide to use Compass
Sass is one kind of CSS Preprocessor, it can make CSS development simple and maintainable. But to show its real power we may need to have Compass.
This article is to introduce Compass. Once you learn Compass, your CSS development efficiency will be largely improved.
Here we assume you have mastered the major uses of CSS, if you know Sass, then it's better. It's still ok if you don't know Sass.
1. What is Compass?
In simple, Compass it the toolkit of Sass.
Sass itself is only a compiler, Compass encapsulates some templates and modules based on Sass. The relationship between Sass and Compass is similar to the relationship between JavaScript and jQuery, between Ruby and Rails, between Python and Django.
2. Installation
Compass is developed with Ruby, so before installing it, you have to install Ruby.
Assume your machine(Linux or OS X) has Ruby installed, then type the following command in command line mode:
sudo gem install compass
If you are using Windows, then no need to type sudo.
3. Initialize project
Next, you need to create a new Compass project, assume its name is myproject, then type:
compass create myproject
There will be a directory myproject created in the current directory. cd into this directory:
cd myproject
You will find a config.rb file, this is the configuration file of your project. There are two subdirectories sass and stylesheets, the previous directory will store Sass source files, the later one will store the CSS files compiled.
Next, you can start writing codes.
4. Compilation
Before writing codes, we need to know how to compile codes. The source code file are suffixed with scss, we can use it in website only after compiling it to css file.
Compilation command :
compass compile
Run this command in the project's root directory, it will compile the scss files in sass subdirectory into CSS files and store them in stylesheets subdirectory.
By default, the compiled CSS file will have many comments. But in production environment, we may need compressed CSS file, now we can use --output-style.
compass compile --output-style compressed
Compass will only compile modified scss files, if you want to compile ass files, you need to use --force
compass compile --force
Compass also has other commands. For example:
compass watch
After running this command, the scss files will be automatically compiled to CSS files as long as there are any changes to scss files.
More compass commands can be referred in its official document.
5. Modules of Compass
Compass has different modules, different modules have different functions. Currently there are five modules in compass.
* reset
* css3
* layout
* typography
* utilities
Next we will introduce these five modules one by one.
6. reset module
Usually before writing your own style, you need to reset browser default styles.
@import "compass/reset";
The above @import command will load specified module, here it is loading reset module.
7. CSS3 module
Currently this module provides 19 CSS3 commands. Here we introduce 3 of them: border-radius, opacity and inline block.
a. border-radius
@import "compass/css3";
.rounded {
@include border-radius(5px);
The above @include command means call some mixin(similar to macro in C), 5px is a parameter, here it specifies the radius of the round corner.
The codes after compilation is:
.rounded {
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-o-border-radius: 5px;
-ms-border-radius: 5px;
-khtml-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
If you only need the top left border-radius, you can:
@include border-corner-radius(top, left, 5px);
@import "compass/css3";
#opacity {
@include opacity(0.5);
After compilation, the code is:
#opacity {
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0.5);
opacity: 0.5;
The parameter of opacity is 0.5 which means the alpha is 50%.
Complete transparent is:
@include opacity(0);
c. inline-block
@import "compass/css3";
#inline-block {
@include inline-block;
The code after compilation is:
#inline-block {
display: -moz-inline-stack;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
*vertical-align: auto;
zoom: 1;
*display: inline;
8. layout module
This module provides the layout functions.
For example, if you want the footer appears at the bottom of the page:
@import "compass/layout";
#footer {
@include sticky-footer(54px);
Or you want the child element stretch in the parent element:
@import "compass/layout";
#stretch-full {
@include stretch;
9. typography module
For example, specify the link color:
link-colors($normal, $hover, $active, $visited, $focus);
When using, write it as:
@import "compass/typography";
a {
@include link-colors(#00c, #0cc, #c0c, #ccc, #cc0);
10. utilities module
This module provide some functions other modules don't provide.
For example, clear float:
import "compass/utilities/";
.clearfix {
@include clearfix;
Or table:
@import "compass/utilities";
table {
@include table-scaffolding;
After compilation:
table th {
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
table td,
table th {
padding: 2px;
table td.numeric,
table th.numeric {
text-align: right;
11. Helper function
In addition to modules, Compass also provides some functions. Some functions are very useful. For example, image-width() and image-height() will return image's width and height.
Also, inline-image() can convert the image into data conforming to data protocol.
@import "compass";
.icon { background-image: inline-image("icon.png");}
After compilation, you can get:
.icon { background-image: url('data:image/png;base64,iBROR...QmCC');}
The major difference between mixin and function is function doesn't need @include command.

The arrival of five immigrant children in Alaska momentarily pushed the Last Frontier into the national debate over what should be done about children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border alone.
Breitbart News, a conservative publication, on Friday highlighted data from a Department of Health and Human Services report showing that five minors who entered the U.S. illegally and without supervision of a parent or guardian were assigned to sponsors in Alaska.
While it is not immediately clear where the children came from or if they were taken into the custody of the State of Alaska foster care system, the policy is for unaccompanied immigrant children apprehended by authorities to be held in federally-operated shelters or released to a "sponsor" while their case plays out in the court system.
There are 30,340 children assigned to sponsors nationally, according to HHS data, meaning 0.016 percent of sponsors are in Alaska.
But Breitbart focused on the far North.
"The trip from McAllen, Texas -- where the current border crisis is occurring -- to Anchorage, Alaska is a nine and a half hour flight," Kristin Tate wrote. "This is almost double the time it would take to fly the migrants back to their home countries in Central America."
Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell, a Republican, turned to Facebook and Twitter to call the reports "alarming" and to say his administration is making contact with federal authorities to figure out what is happening.
Parnell spokesperson Sharon Leighow elaborated: "White House staff indicated governors would be notified before any large group of immigrants would be sent their state," she wrote. "Our office has received no such notification from any federal agency."
Leighow said the governor contacted HHS and the Alaska Congressional Delegation to track down further details.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) told KTUU she was made aware of immigrant children coming to Alaska earlier in the week, but she is unsure whether they are part of the HHS program that deals with refugee resettlement.
The Alaska director of Catholic Social Services, which often provides services to refugees, said its staffers were not told of an influx of immigrants coming to Alaska and that it is unlikely there will be a noticeable surge.
"I unfortunately think statements like that can be misused," said Susan Bomalaski, CSS director, referring to Parnell's social media posts. "I don't know what the motivation there was, but there are people in the community that are concerned about that and actually have thought that great numbers of these children would be coming to Alaska.
"But that won't happen."

October 6, 2006
Today, two schools have heightened security.
It's been a week that has had hundreds of students out of class and everyone on higher alert trying to make sure your kids are safe.
Silver Bluff High School is under lockdown right now. And extra officers are at the school to provide extra safety.
Students arrived this morning to a threat written on the sidewalk. Today's increased security comes from a verbal fight yesterday between two boys over a girl. Seven students were suspended, and rumors spread overnight that gangs from two different areas may retaliate.
Many parents chose to check their kids out of school today.
Principal Todd Bornscheuer says the school determined there is no immediate threat to the school or students, and the school does not believe the fight was gang-related.

Merle Haggard, with Neko Case
Date: Feb. 11, 2006
Venue: The Paramount Theatre
Random incident: Overheard in line at the box office: "Who is this Neko Case guy? Is he local?"
Review by Hannah Levin
It's a rare and moving occurrence when a live music experience can cause a seated audience to randomly leap to its feet (especially in the formal, opulent confines of the Paramount Theater), let alone burst into tears, but many audience members at last night's Neko Case/Merle Haggard show did just that.
Watching the generation gap in action was entertaining in itself (overheard in line at the box office: "Who is this Neko Case guy? Is he local?"), and Merle's merch selection was pretty over-the-top (nearly all his CDs were sold-out, yet 16 variants on logo-embossed trucker caps remained), but it was the performances that made it feel like a unique and historical event.
Case was as elegant as she always is, clad in an elaborately embroidered black frock and precariously poised in her strappy high heels. Her opening set was understandably shorter than last year's show at the Moore, but the song selection was similar, drawing primarily from Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, with a couple of numbers from Blacklisted. Case's voice was simply undeniable, mixing smoky seduction with a powerhouse, clarion delivery, and Kelly Hogan's backing vocals sweetened and elevated things with seamless grace.
Her closing number, a sultry cover of Sarah Vaughan's "Look for Me (I'll Be Around)', was the perfect end note and a reminder of why Neko Case can justly be considered this generation's version of Patsy Cline. Mr. Haggard may turn 70 this year and perhaps the opportunities to see him live are dwindling rapidly, but he gave his fans exactly what they wanted: almost two hours of nearly flawless renditions of his hits, and a handful of songs from his newer releases on Epitaph.
Backed by a smartly dressed, 9-piece band and one silver-throated female backing vocalist, Haggard launched his set with "Me Without You," and toured his way through the highlights of his back catalog, including "The Bottle Let Me Down," "White Line Fever," "Take Me Back to Tulsa," and a high-spirited cover of Johnny Cash's "Jackson." Things took a bit of a sideways turn when he chose to bring up the subject of Hilary Clinton's bid for the White House, a topic that the slightly conservative crowd greeted with a disorienting conflation of cheers and jeers. His growing tendency to lean left quieted everyone down, however, when he launched into a new song with the refrain, "Let's Put a Woman in Charge."
Political proclivities aside, Haggard was always attentive to and appreciative of his audience, eventually telling the starry-eyed crowd, "I've enjoyed working for you, ladies and gentlemen—see you next time," and bringing down the curtain down with "I Think I'll Just Sit Here and Drink."

I hope, because of the e mails being lost, most of us have had a chance to glance at the news. Do you see what has been happening in England and Scotland?
We are at war with terrorist.
We also have a politican saying the "WAR ON TERROR" is a bumper sticker slogan.
Now before all of you who don't want to admit it and say "IT's All Bush Fault" allow me to remind you that Bush is not is Glascoe, Scotland.

They did find 2 car bombs this week in London. Put all of Great Britian on "high alert".
As for the "war on terror"... Sorry folks but you can't declare war on feelings. I don't see anyone handing out bottles of "handy dandy fast acting long lasting instant monster repellant spray" and fuzzy bunnies so I am thinking it's a "war" that is destined to be lost.
Jul 1 @ 11:33AM
The peopel of London will not bow to terrorism as the IRA couldn't quell their spirits and the assholes planting bombs now won't either!
Jul 1 @ 11:54AM
the IRA couldn't quell their spirits and the assholes planting bombs now won't either!
Ain't that the God's honest truth!

Unfortunately it is going to get worse before it gets better. The fued between the Christians and the Muslims goes back at least 1000 years when the Christians decided to drive the "pagans", (or whatever they called them back then) out of the "holy land". I'm sorry to admit I don't know my history well enough to know if the Muslims came to be there by peace or by force..... but the point is..... we will not solve in a few short years what has been going on for 1000.
Whatever opinion you have on the war with Iraq, do not for one minute believe the terrorist attacks will stop when we are out of there. The attacks started years before we went there. Embassy bombings..... the attack on the Cole...... the first world trade center bombing in..... 1992 I think..... that was also intended to bring it down...... This IS a war whether we like it or not.
What can we do? Well, at least try to be somewhat aware of what goes on around you. I'm not saying you should see a conspiracy behind every 7/11.... but just a little common sense awareness.
Jul 1 @ 12:28PM
Was there not, just recently, 4 men arrested in a New York airport, for attempting to ignite airline fuel??
Jul 2 @ 8:29AM
You know, I completely agree that there is no way to "win" this kind of "war"...
I also agree that things won't change after we leave the Middle East, because they have enough problems there, and enough people (beside themselves) to blame things on, so there will always be someone wanting to blame the U.S. for things.
What we need to do is to make everyone in the world so desperately terrified of what WE are going to do if they attack us, so they won't ever attack us again. Since they don't really care about our religious base in the US, why should we care about theirs? I believe that we ought to select one town in Iraq where the insurgents are hiding out, and give them 12 hours warning that the entire city and every building in it will be sprayed with pig fat. If they raise a hue and cry about it, we can tell them that's too bad. As soon as they turn over the insurgents, we'll stop spraying the countryside with pig fat. We should tell them that the next American serviceman or woman that even so much as gets a splinter, we will cover a whole city with a layer of pork grease. And every time they retaliate, we'll do another one. If there are any "Muslim terrorist attacks" anywhere in the world, we're going to cover a mosque with pig guts. Hit them where it hurts. They don't care if they die, they're going to get their 72 virgins when they get there. But if they think for a nanosecond that since they touched a pork product, that will prevent them from getting to heaven" then take away their weapon, and use it against them.
The time for playing nice is over. We gave them a chance to stand up on their hind feet and take care of themselves, and what did they do with it? They turned everything to be our fault. Well, it's neither here nor there why we are in Iraq, but since we're there, we ought to be so God-awful scary to everyone there, that no one would dare to even look crosswise at us. Because of Dubya, nobody respects the USA anymore, at least not in the Middle East, and most of Europe has this attitude of disdain for Americans, so if they already don't like us, what do we care? Do they send us money when we have a natural disaster? No. Do we send them money when they do? You bet. What's wrong with that picture?
Jul 2 @ 7:19PM
Mick I realize this is all very important and yes I realize that I should be watching it with baited breath, absorbing every single minute of CNN that I can. But speaking for myself, my job is a slap of reality in my face every single day. I sat today through a sentencing in which a surviving victim told of every detail of the accident in which a drunk driver took the lives of her husband, their 10 yr old son and her 10 yr old neice. Of how she crawled across the highway to find her dead husband, to hold her young son in her arms as he died and of how they shipped her and her neice to the hospital in critical condition where her young neice died alone, at 10 yrs old. Then the testimony of her sister in law of how she thinks of her young daugther every single day and how she'll never get her first kiss, first date, prom, wedding or grandchild. How she thought of suicide herself after losing her daughter. Now I have to sit through all this stone faced, I can show no emotion, I have to wait until all is said and done, then I slip downstairs, sneak outside to a quite side of the building and have myself a good little cry. So when I come on here, forgive me if I'm not up on the most recent bombing, or whose ahead in the political races, I'm here for escape, to forget for a few minutes about the reality that slapped me around all day. Please don't take this wrong Mick, ya know I love ya, but you know what I go through too.

If you want to stop them from getting their 72, take a few of their people from different areas and dig a big pit. fill the pit with pigs, shoot half of them in front of the other half and put them in the pit with the dead pigs. let the others go. word will get arround.

We do time out, in the corner, for 3 mintues.
Well, the last couple weeks my 3 year old has figured out theres nothing physically keeping him there. He just says no, and runs away.
So, I pick him up and put him back in the corner but he fights it so hard! He kicks and hits and screams. I pick him up, put him back, he leaves, repeat. We've done this for 15 mintues at a time. Hes stubborn and doesnt give up.
How do I get him to stay there?!
I just keep thinking OMG if hes figured out I cant physically force him to do something we're in for a looooooong childhood here!
