(WUSA9) -- The lipstick line by Kat Von D at Sephora features racy names such as "backstage bambi" and "underage red" But one went a shade too far: "Celebutard."
It's an off-color slang term for a celebrity who isn't very smart.
Critics say the lipstick name makes light of people with disabilities and they are blowing up the lipstick on social media.
Sephora has apologized and says it pulled Celebutard off the shelves. Our colleagues at CBS, however, were still able to find it in stock in one store.

Anybody ever thought of having their slick tricks have one standard blade and a magnum blade? Would it fly any different?
Anybody ever thought of having their slick tricks have one standard blade and a magnum blade? Would it fly any different?
I had thought about that to. But I wasnt sure if you could put the the magnum blades into the standard head? Are they the same head?

As far as I know of they are, i guess I havent actually tried doing this yet though
Not trying to be negative, but what would be the benefit? I'm actually curious to know.
It would just be the best of both worlds. I like the magnums for the bigger cut but I do not like how steep the blade angle is on them. So I thought combining one blade from a standard and one from a magnum would produce a bigger hole but without the steep blade angle issue. Thats my reasoning, not sure if it makes any sense though
Never thought about that, but I love the steep angled Magnum blades. They punch a monstrous entry wound! Let us know if you try that, but I don't think the blades would both sit tight in the ferrule.
I had the grizz tricks and the magnums I know that they wouldnt match up cause of the the different ferrule sizes. I tried slicks two years ago and out to fourty they flew great, when I got passed 50 they seemed to drive themselves. I am one of those long distance freaks. 90lbs Maxxis 35, A/c/c pro 300s, 31 in draw, the only thing that really shoots good for me was expandables. Never saw myself shooting them just cause of all the bad press you hear. Killed 8 elk, 6 ant, and 3 deer so far with expandables. Now, I am going with those new wasp z-force, shoot preety close to my field points.
I am shooting the 100 grn Magnums on a Carbon Express Blue Streak 350 w/blazers, from a Carbon Matrix set at 74lbs/29in. I am able to get 5 arrows inside 6" at 60yds. They actually print exactly the same as my T3's and field points.
Interesting idea on interchanging blades. I would guess they might a little more sensitive to bow tuning.
I just switched to slicktricks this year, so I haven't killed anything but a coyote in the backyard yet, but they seem to be flying really well.
Nice handle MN Hunter!

Blind justice
China | Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng, who senses danger for himself and his family, seeks help from the United States
"Blind justice" Continued...
From a heavily guarded hospital room in Beijing, human rights activist Chen Guangcheng sent a desperate message to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after she arrived in the city for talks with the Chinese government. "We are in danger," Chen told CNN on Thursday. "If you can talk to Hillary, I hope she can help my whole family leave China."
Chen's plea was the latest twist in a dramatic plot that began unfolding last week when the blind human rights lawyer-and one of China's most well-known activists-escaped his arbitrary house arrest in Shandong Province. Chen had spent four years in prison and two years confined to his home after exposing the brutality of China's forced abortions and sterilizations of thousands of women.
Now Chen and his family are exposed: After escaping house arrest and taking shelter in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing for six days, Chen left American protection to seek medical treatment at a Beijing hospital. The attorney said he fears that he and his family face grave danger if they stay in China, and has asked to travel to the United States-perhaps even on Clinton's plane when she leaves the country.
Whether Chen can leave China is a diplomatic quagmire with gritty implications. Fighting for Chen could compromise U.S. relations with China during a tense moment. But failing to defend the activist guarantees another kind of danger: compromising the human rights platform that American officials insist they uphold and the future of a human rights hero and his vulnerable family. For Chen, his plea to the United States is simple: "I want them to protect human rights with concrete actions."
In Chen's case, concrete actions would include allowing the activist and his family to seek asylum in the United States. But that possibility grew complicated when Chen left the U.S. Embassy to seek medical treatment at a hospital. With Chen outside of U.S. protection, leaving the country would require Chinese permission-a request the government isn't likely to approve without significant pressure.
That leads to an obvious question: Why did Chen leave the embassy? Though the question is obvious, the answer is unclear. U.S. officials said that Chen willingly left the embassy to be reunited with his family at the hospital. They said that the lawyer originally declared that he wanted to stay in China, an assertion other human rights groups have confirmed.
But once Chen reached the hospital, the dynamic changed. In a phone interview, the activist told CNN that the embassy promised that U.S. officials would stay with him at the hospital. "But this afternoon … I noticed they were all gone," he said. By Thursday afternoon (early Friday morning in China), Chen told the BBC that Chinese officials had prevented American envoys from visiting him.
Chen also made another disturbing discovery: His wife told him that after his escape Chinese guards tied her to a chair for two days and threatened to beat her to death. She said Chinese officials told her that if Chen didn't leave the embassy, they would send her home "and people there would beat her." It was a convincing threat: The couple said their guards severely beat them last year after they smuggled out a video describing their deplorable living conditions.
The absence of U.S. officials and the threats of serious violence shook Chen. So did another discovery: Chinese authorities had detained several activists suspected of aiding his escape, including members of his extended family. That finding undercut promises that the Chinese government reportedly made to allow Chen and his family to relocate to another part of China without harassment or retribution.
"After seeing the reality, we both want to leave this place with our kids as soon as possible," said Yuan Weijing, Chen's wife. "It's very dangerous for us."
U.S. officials said they exerted no pressure on Chen to leave the embassy, but acknowledged that he now wants to leave the country. They said they would continue conversations with the activist to discuss his options. When Clinton arrived in Beijing, she didn't publicly mention Chen's case by name but spoke of the importance of upholding human rights.
U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., recalled Clinton's comments early in her tenure that U.S. concerns over human rights in China "can't interfere" with discussions about the economy, global warming, and security threats. In an online editorial, Wolf insisted that Chen's case should interfere with those discussions this week: "There is a place for pragmatism in diplomacy. … But pragmatism must not result in Chen's abandonment in the name of good relations."
Listen to a report on the case of Chen Guangcheng on WORLD's radio news magazine The World and Everything in It.

URGENT: Help Elephants in Atlanta RIGHT NOW!
The Atlanta City Council will decide TODAY (at any minute!) whether the use of bullhooks—rods with a sharp metal hook and point on the end that are used to strike, jab, hook, prod, and beat elephants on the most sensitive parts of their bodies—will be legal within Atlanta.
The councilmembers have made it clear that being contacted by the public would be the most influential factor in persuading them to ban bullhooks. E-mail them at firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com, email@example.com, and email@example.com.
Urge them to do the right thing by ending cruel elephant abuse in the city of Atlanta.
Not sure what to say? Here is some text to base your e-mail from:
I am writing to urge you to vote today to ban the cruel use of bullhooks on elephants. Bullhooks are rods with a sharp metal hook and point on the end that are used to strike, jab, hook, prod, and beat elephants on the most sensitive parts of their bodies. These weapons have been abandoned by most zoos, including Zoo Atlanta, and have no place in a progressive city like Atlanta. Fulton County made international news last year when it became the largest local government to ban bullhooks, and now the world is watching to see whether Atlanta will keep this forward-thinking and compassionate ban in place within city limits or cave to pressure from corporate interests that make millions off elephant abuse. Please take a stand today and vote to ban bullhooks in Atlanta—making any other choice would mean condoning animal abuse.

Bodine and Germain.com Team Are Anxious to Return to the Lady in Black to Defend Their Race Win
Posted by: lori on Mar 09, 2011
Tagged in: Sherwin Williams , Germain Racing , GEICO
- Bodine is the Reigning Truck Series Champion after earning his 2nd title in 2010
- Bodine is Third Driver in Truck Series History to Win Multiple Titles, and Clinch Early
- Bodine Owns 21 Truck Series wins with Germain Racing and 36 NASCAR career wins
- He owns one Truck Series (2010) and one NNS win (2003) at Darlington Raceway
- Last year's win at Darlington was the third of four 2010 victories
March 9, 2011 (Mooresville, N.C.) - For the Germain.com Tundra team the old racing adage holds true—the most important race is the next one on the schedule. Darlington Raceway is next, and, it is important to the No. 30 team and Germain Racing driver Todd Bodine. Bodine led 47 of 147 laps last August to capture the victory in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series' return to the track Too Tough to Tame.
"We won the race there last year in the Germain.com Tundra. I've always run well at Darlington in everything I've driven there, ever. I've got a win in our Toyota truck, a win in the Nationwide Series. It's a driver's track that's a lot of fun. It's real technical. Hopefully I can give our teammates some pointers and help them speed up their learning curve a little," said Bodine.
The No. 30 Germain.com Tundra will be chassis TRD-131. Before last weeks' race at Phoenix, the truck had never finished outside the top-five and owned three of Germain Racing's four 2010 wins. Crew chief Mike Hillman Jr. said he and his crew are anxious to see what their best Tundra will do in South Carolina.
"I wish we didn't have a weekend off before Darlington," said Hillman Jr. "We are ready to defend our race win. We are planning on returning to championship form after a slow start. Darlington is a place where the Germain.com Tundra team is definitely looking to get back on top."
After two of 25 races, Bodine ranks 12th in the Truck Series standings. This is unfamiliar territory for a team and driver that sat atop the standings for the majority of last year. The focus, however, is on overall team performance at Darlington.
"I hope that my biggest challengers at Darlington are my Germain Racing teammates. I hope we are 1, 2, 3, 4. Brendan, Max and Justin have all been to Darlington. There's no reason they can't be competitive. Darlington's a very technical track with a lot of little things that can make you go fast. If there's anything I can do to help them, I will do it," said Bodine.
Bodine has competed in two Truck Series events at Darlington, both behind the wheel of the No. 30 Tundra. He has one win and one 20th place result. This Saturday night, he'll compete in his 168th Truck Series race when he fires up the Germain.com Tundra for the third race of the 2011 season. Bodine has 730 NASCAR career starts to date.
Watch Bodine in the No. 30 Germain.com Tundra on Saturday, February 25th, at Darlington Raceway with coverage on SPEED starting with qualifying at 3:30 PM ET followed by racing at 5 PM.

Interesting technique. Experimenting with custom brushes could lead to better looking results.
Okay, so it was suggested that I post something that discusses a little of the process I'm currently developing to create coastlines in GIMP, as an alternative to the random coastline method presented in RobA's famous Regional Map Tutorial. This little mini-tutorial assumes some familiarity with GIMP and with RobA's tutorial (what I know about GIMP, personally, I learned primarily from using that tutorial).
So, first off, what's the purpose? The idea behind this process is that sometimes you're working with a map where you want a little more control over the appearance of the land in the map than the use of the rendered clouds will produce. You might know that there are specific features you want to have--some of the possibly quite small--to appear in the coastlines and landforms of your final map. So... you need a method that will still help you produce some level of a realistic, fractalized appearance relatively quickly, but afford you that level of control.
Enter the Jitter feature.
I found that with judicious use of the a brush on Jitter can have the effect of roughing up a coastline and giving it an interesting appearance. Some times I go in with a very fine control, but here's a quick method that will produce results that you can then fine tune to reach the results you're looking for.
Step 1: The simple coastline
We start with a basic, simple-looking coastline.
It already has several key geographic features that we want to maintain. We've got peninsulas, islands, and a narrow isthmus connecting two larger bodies of land. (Here, black is land, and white is the sea.) We want to preserve these features, but with a fractalized looking coastline.
To start, we need to invert the colors. (We'll want the black to represent the sea and white represent the land.) To do this, go to Colors > Invert.
Step 2: Stroking the Selection
Beforfe we proceed, make a copy of the layer, in case we do something wrong, and want to revert to an earlier version. I do this after every step.
Next, we want to use the Wand tool to select the entire black region of the map. This will select everything that is part of the sea. After you have the black region selected, Invert the selection by going to Select > Invert. You will now have the entire white region selected. We select the black first then invert because if we tried to select one of the white regions with the wand tool, we'd miss several of the other white regions when we perform the Stroke action next.
Now, before "Stroking" the selection, we need to set up the brush we are going to use. Using the Brush tool set on circle 5 or 7, set the foreground color to either white or black. (I used Circle 5 set to black for this example, but you can use any shape you'd like.) Using white will build on the existing land, while black will carve out of it. I chose black because I had a couple inlets I liked that I wanted to preserve. Next, set the Jitter level. To do this, on the Paintbrush menu, check the box next to Jitter. You'll need a moderately high Jitter--the higher the Jitter, the more variation in where the brush will paint. Here, I used a setting of 1.75. I also set the spacing on the brush much higher than the default (here, 100). This helps to prevent a solid but squiggly line from being the result.
Finally, with our brush set up, we're ready to Stroke. Go to Edit > Stroke Selection. Make sure the check box/radial button for the Paintbrush is selected. This will ensure we use the settings on the brush that we just set up. Hit Okay and watch GIMP work it's magic.
Before we unselect anything, our screen will look something like this:
I'll proceed in the next post... but it may be a couple days before I can get this updated.

Really neat feature here. Is there a comparable bit in Photoshop? I'd like to give it a try if there is...

...Continuing on:
Step 3: Building up and tearing down
As I mentioned before, you can either start by stroking your selection with black or with white. Black will cut away from the land and white will add to it.
Either way, the key to the method is to alternate between black and white a little, using progessively smaller brushes.
So, next, we're going to build up on what we started last time. Before we proceed, unselect everything.
Then, let's set up our brush. You'll want the foreground this time to be the opposite of what you used the first time (this time I'll use white). You'll want to select a smaller brush size, but not too much smaller. To achieve the right balance, you may need to play with the scale setting of the brush. Again, you'll also want to increase the spacing setting. However, as you use smaller and smaller brushes, you'll want to increase the spacing less and less.
Because our last step already redefined our coast a little, we'll need to reselect the new coastline. Use the same procedure of wand-selecting the black region and inverting your selection. (If you don't invert when you wand-select the black ocean regions, when you stroke the selection, you'll also get little white bits, assuming you're using a white brush, on the outside edge of the map...)
Here's I'm setting up the brush:
With your brush set up and your new region selected, you're ready to stroke the selection again.
Step 4: Wash, Rinse, Repeat
This step's fairly easy... just repeat Step 3, decreasing the brush size and changing the brush color, reselecting and re-stroking. After two or three iterations, you will probably reach something that is looking mostly good, if a bit rough around the edges.
Once you've done this, it's time to move on to:
Step 5: Cleaning Up a Bit
You may notice that there are a few relatively strange things going on. Our first attempt at using the jitter left a few circular holes close to our new coastlines. (Howbeit, your results may vary... which of course is the whole point.) Assuming those look as odd to you as they do to me, or if something else is bother you, it's time to clean that stuff up. In addition, I found the results a little too fractal-looking.
To clean up, I wand-selected the seas again, inverted to get the land, and then used a large brush set to white to fill in the erroneous-looking circles. This also cleaned up some of the over-fractalized edges.
Once you've got this where you like it, you're ready to move on with the rest of RobA's regional map tutorial, or use this however else you'd like to use it.
If you're going to use this as the "land mask", again select the black oceans, invert, and go to Select > Save to Channel. Or, you can use the "edge detect" at Filters > Edge-Detect > Edge... (I prefer the "Gradient" setting if you do this) to get a line-drawing of the coastline. (You'll get a white line on black field... just go to Colors > Invert to turn it into a black line on a white field.)
Anyway, here I move on with the next few steps of RobA's tutorial, using the results I've created in this tutorial as the "land mask" channel.
Final take-aways: this takes a little longer than the method RobA detailed in his tutorial, but gives you more control over the final result. It will take an artistic eye to find where the fractalizing goes too far and clean it up a bit, but it's easier than trying to draw all those squiggles by yourself.
I hope this method proves useful to you!

A Missoula favorite at the Western Montana Fair kicked off Wednesday.
The line-up for the second annual Dock Docks competition could be fierce…but mostly fluffy.
Some of the competitors are unlikely. Take the 11-year-old pit bull Kane -- he's more of a flopper than a jumper, but he makes it into the water.
"He had never done it before but he loves water and he looks cute," said Kane's owner Trish Stevens.
For other pups like 1-year-old Osa, a black lab, the sport came easy.
"She did well," said Osa's owner Ken Miller. "We'll watch to see how some of the other dogs do. I'm not sure what the standard is yet."
Maddie, another first timer, jumped right in. "She loves jumping off the dock at the lake up at Flathead so we thought we'd give it a shot," said owner Julie North.
But not every pooch was ready to plunge in the 'Big Air' competition. The goal is to jump the farthest -- or for some dogs, at least make it in the pool.
Dock Dog events run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. from now through Saturday and until 4 p.m. on Sunday. You can catch the competition on the west lawn of the fairgrounds.

About anci
Hi everyone!
I'm Anna and I'm from Sweden (IKEA, ABBA, elks, In Flames =D…)

If you know about other good bands, please tell me, I'm always looking for new music =)
As you all know just listening to a band is not enough, you gotta see them live too ;) And I'm lucky enough to have seen Papa Roach twice so far! I really hope I'll get to see them again since they are so awesome live ;) If you'd like to know which bands I've seen when and where I've put a short list here:

Now what else is there to know about me? Well umm…. I have brown eyes xD
I study at university to become a "master of engineering in engineering physics" . I know, you probably think that sounds boring, but lots of math is how I like it ;) It's kind of a perfect match actually…
My biggest interest, apart from music of course, is sailing. I LOVE sailing. Big boats, small boats, when it's raining, when it's sunny, anytime really, it's amazing! =D If you haven't tried it yet you should! At the moment I sail 2 different types of boats. The more tricky and a lot cooler one is a 29er (google it, it's an awesome boat) and the not so cool one is a Swedish boat called (if I translate it) "2-crown".
I also like skiing/snowboarding and hanging out with my friends ;)
My friends say I'm a bit evil, but really...I'm not , just a little=) There's no need to worry actually, it's just that I'm the only one admitting that it IS funny when someone fails in doing something ^^ I mean...everyone thinks it's fun but I'm the only one saying it...
And I think that's enough about me, if you would like to know something else just leave a comment =D And yes I like to use smileys xD
I haven't added this to my profile yet

Next up on the main stage was Pulse 2013 Guest Speaker Peyton Manning of the Denver Broncos. Peyton gave a heartfelt speech on the "art and science of decision-making." Are you making the right decisions to deliver innovation? Are you sticking to your decisions?...were some of the key topics covered. Offering his perspective on Leadership, I think my favorite all-time quote was this: "You can either be a warrior or a worrier." So true. Decisions backed by facts and data analysis helps you drive the best decisions, and technology has greatly impacted this process, he pointed out. Scott Hebner, WW Tivoli VP of Marketing, joined him onstage with some great Q&A, that ended with Scott going long, "up and out," to catch a bullet pass from Peyton. And, yes, pass caught, no fumble! Thank goodness.
Now, on to our Tivoli Storage sessions today which featured many of our Business Partners. Thomas Bak, CSO & Partner of Denmark-based Front-safe, kicked off the morning with a very interactive discussion on the topic of how to create cloud service around your Tivoli Storage Manager environment. Front-safe, a recent 2013 Beacon Award winner, is bringing TSM into new markets via a cloud-enabled portal. He mentioned 3,000 end customers are already using this solution for backup, and backing up literally 10,000+ servers! Front-safe's new cloud backup service provider, i-Sanity, also addressed their model of "backup as a service" and they are the first Front-safe backup service provider in South Africa. You can learn more by watching this great Front-safe video here.
Silverstring Ltd, another Tivoli
Storage Business Partner, led a session with customer Rabobank International, a
large global financial institution with many dispersed TSM systems, who told us
all about best practices that have been used for daily TSM administration. Great content was also shared that focused on
how these best practices and cloud-based automation software can be combined to
actually lower the cost of delivering TSM services and improve service levels.
Later in the
day, Richard Spurlock of Cobalt Iron
held an engaging session on how to transform your backup costs into business
opportunities. Cobalt Iron combines TSM
backup with a cloud experience in a simple deployment model that's all about
flexible deployment options. Richard
really helped the audience better grasp how the costs and complexity of
enterprise backup can really "bankrupt" its value – and how Cobalt Iron's
solutions can leverage your backup investments into a flexible and high
value data protection solution. Earlier
in the week, Cobalt Iron had been honored as a recipient of the 2013 Tivoli
Business Partner Awards finalist. Congratulations!
In one of the final Pulse 2013 storage sessions of the day, Business Partner STORServer delivered a compelling presentation on how to provide Backup-as-a-Service with their STORServer Backup Appliance and TSM. This session was of great help for both large enterprises who were looking for how best to charge for backup services, and also MSPs looking for additional revenue streams.
We also heard from customers like Nyherji who told the audience all about how they use FlashCopy Manager with TSM Node Replication to increase service levels and obtain high availability. I was especially interested to hear about all the stellar benefits that these Tivoli storage solutions brought to their business – from absolutely 0 downtime to hugely improved backup and recovery times. As a result, Petur Eythorsson of Nyherji, told a great story of how they completely redesigned their TSM environment and added TSM Node Replication and FlashCopy Manager to complete this solution.
I wrapped up my week at Pulse 2013 visiting with both old and new friends and colleagues later that evening, continuing to recap what was my 3rd, and, I believe, BEST Pulse ever! Congratulations and thank you to the IBM Tivoli Pulse team for a job well done.....I can't imagine how the next Pulse will trump this one, but, in true Tivoli fashion, I am sure it will.
And, in case you are having Pulse 2013 withdrawals already, we've captured some engaging storage videos this week that are already available to you now. I hope you can take a moment to relive some of the great Tivoli Storage moments this week and listen to all the great things that analysts, thought leaders, our customers, and Business Partners are saying about Tivoli Storage solutions:
What Royce Wells of International Paper has to say about TSM Operations Center
How IBM Global Technology Services (GTS) is using Tivoli Storage Productivity Center (TPC) to Manage it's Clients Storage Environments
The Storage Transformation within IBM and the key enabling capabilities provided by SmartCloud Virtual Storage Center
Preview of the New TSM Operations Center
Plus, great Livestream footage:
Steve Wojtowecz and Laura DuBois of IDC discussing The Storage Implications from Cloud Computing
Jason Buffington of ESG and Tom Hughes discussing Data Protection relative to the hot trends in IT Today
Rodney Foreman Interviewing Thomas Bak on Front-Safe's Award-Winning TSM Portal Enabling Back-Up as a Service
And, in case you would like to hear more about what's new and cool coming from Tivoli Storage, you can always join us again in Vegas this June for IBM Edge2013, which will bring you more opportunities to connect with your colleagues and learn about industry best practices for storage management, virtualization, and cloud technologies.

A treasure trove of forgotten Bob Dylan recordings have been unearthed in the music icon's former apartment in New York.
The boxes of acetates were discovered by the estate executor of the late owner of Dylan's old pad, and sold to historian and collector Jeff Gold.
He discovered unreleased mixes and recordings from Dylan's "Nashville Skyline," "Self Portrait" and "New Morning" sessions dating back to 1969 and 1970.
Dylan had rented out the ground floor of the Greenwich Village building, and left the recordings behind when he moved on.
Gold tells Billboard.com, "When I opened the boxes and took a quick look at the contents, I was blown away. They were indeed all by Dylan, all were in excellent condition."
The new owner of the acetates has had the recordings preserved digitally and provided transfers of all the discovered music to Dylan's representatives.
Dylan recently made headlines when handwritten lyrics of "Like a Rolling Stone" were sold at auction.

Last year a lot of people wrote an apology to Avery Bradley. I didn't owe him one. But I do owe uncle Jeff!
Lately Green has been playing like a sixth man of the year candidate. His defense has been good too. Indivuidaul and even his rotations. and unlike in the past you can't say the team gets worse the minute he steps on the court.
So apologies Jeff. I thought the contract we signed you too was bad but of late you are proving me Waaaaaaaaayyyy wrong.

U.N. Officials Propose Taxes on Unhealthy Foods; Want to Improve Global Health
"Unhealthy diets are now a greater threat to global health than tobacco."
That's what Belgian professor Olivier de Schutter of the World Health Organization (WHO) told the organization's annual summit. It's also a pretty bold statement considering tobacco has been held as one of the highest risks to global health for years.
He went on to say, "Just as the world came together to regulate the risks of tobacco, a bold framework convention on adequate diets must now be agreed."

The best weapon against breast cancer is awareness
(Page 2 of 2)
There are other actions you can take to reduce your risk of developing breast cancer. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a woman who exercises four hours per week reduces her risk. Eating a low-fat, nutritious diet can help. A diet high in fat increases the risk by triggering the hormone estrogen, which fuels tumor growth. So fill your plate with plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Compared with non-drinkers, women who have one alcoholic drink a day have a very small increase in risk. Those who have two to five drinks daily, however, have about 1½ times the risk of women who don't drink.
According to the women's breast-feeding advocacy group La Leche League International, and the New York State Department of Health, research studies confirm that breast-feeding reduces the risk of breast cancer. The research shows that the longer a woman breast-feeds, the more protected she is against the disease.
The American Cancer Society says that new technologies to fight the disease are emerging, and that modern medicine's understanding of the risk factors is also improving. Consulting with your doctor and being vigilant about your health are the most important things you can do.
The key is awareness. Know your body, and know your risks. Prevention, early detection and new technologies are the best weapons in the battle against breast cancer.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - Billie Jean, a 6-year-old Andean bear, could give birth to two cubs any day now, according to the National Zoo.
Veterinarians have examined Billie Jean weekly since Nov. 6, conducting ultrasounds that have revealed two "small distinct amniotic sacs" and "fetal growth and development," which could indicate that Billie Jean could give birth for the second time. She is the mother of Bernardo and Chaska, born in Jan. 2010.
Although hopes are high, and dedicated zoo-watchers are following Billie Jean's nesting activities via the Zoo's live webcam, veterinarians and Billie Jean's keepers are tempering their optimism with the reminder that Andean bears, like all bear species, can actually resorb one or both fetuses at any stage of the pregnancy--meaning Billie Jean could give birth to only one, or no cubs.
But the Zoo staff remains hopeful that Billie Jean will show her champion-caliber maternal instincts as she did nearly three years ago when Bernardo and Chaska arrived.
Newborn Andean bear cubsm weighing 10 to 18 ounces at birth, are practically bald, toothless and blind.
All of her cubs share the same father, Nikki, who was humanely euthanized in August after a yearlong battle with squamous cell carcinoma (cancer). Nikki and Billie Jean's natural breeding took place in April.
The Andean bear population in human care has experienced a lull in the past six years. If Billie Jean does give birth successfully, the cubs will be the only surviving Andean cubs in a North American Zoo since her first cubs were born.
And the last surviving Andean bear born in North America before that was Billie Jean herself.
Andean bears-also known as spectacled bears-are listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species, and it is estimated that there are only 2,000 left in their natural habitat.
During Billie Jean's denning period, Zoo visitors can see 2-year-old Chaska on exhibit near the lower entrance to American Trail, weather permitting.
To follow Billie Jean's progress, watch her on the Zoo's live webcam, read updates from the Zoo's Andean bear keepers and check for news on the Zoo's Twitter feed and Facebook page with the hashtag #cubwatch.

Having a basic understanding about breastmilk, breastfeeding and your breastfed baby will help you enjoy every moment that you're nourishing and nurturing your baby.
Breastmilk Changes
Colostrum, also referred to as first milk, has more benefits than most people realize. Your very first drops of colostrum are providing a boost to building a strong immune system for your baby. Each feeding over the next 3 to 5 days will be rich in proteins, vitamins, prebiotics and special fatty acids, especially suited for a newborn. Colostrum is a yellowish or creamy color and thicker than the "next milk".
Colostrum turns into transitional milk, which lasts about 2 weeks. It has more calories, fat, and vitamins to keep up with your baby's evolving nutritional needs.
"Mature milk" is the final, ongoing milk that you will provide to your baby. It has higher water content for hydration, but with the right balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates needed for his growth. Breast milk differs in the amount produced in each breast and the nutrient content adapts to what your baby needs.
Positioning Pointers
Planning ahead with a few comfortable positions will make breastfeeding more enjoyable for the both of you.
Breastmilk has three distinct stages, each providing the nutrition your baby needs when he needs it.
Counting the Dirty Diapers
Breast milk has natural properties that help produce regular stools and clear out clear out the meconium, a newborn's earliest stool resulting from what he ingested during pregnancy.
Skin-to-Skin Breastfeeding
Skin to skin, also referred to as "kangaroo care", is well recognized as beneficial for Mom and baby. Just look at the upside of skin-to-skin feeding.
Signs of a Healthy Breast Fed Baby
Not being able to measure how much your baby is eating may make you feel a little anxious. But here are some simple ways to know that you're supporting his every nutritional need.
Keeping Up Your Energy
Breastfeeding requires more energy from you. You'll need about 500 extra calories each day to keep up with the demands of producing milk. Use those calories wisely by adding nutrient dense foods to your diet. Quick healthy snacks might include:

About this font family
Pragma ND is part of Neufville Digital's MODERN COLLECTION.
Pragma is a sanserif typeface which forsakes the smoothness and modularity of most sanserif typefaces. Its letterforms derive from the trinity of elements in conventional old-face types with serifs: capital letters based on Roman inscriptional models, small letters derived from humanistic writing, and a truly cursive italic. Pragma is not based closely on any specific models; it follows the general ideas of proportion and calligraphic influence contained in classic text typefaces of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.

Comments about Triple Eight Sports Triple Eight Wristsavers Wrist Guards:
As a recreational skater, I always wear wrist guards when roller-blading and this is the FIRST pair I have owned that are actually quick and easy to use. Instead of struggling to get them on/off like a glove, these wrist guards allow you to actually position your hand/wrist over the open guard with an opening for the thumb...then you simply wrap it securely around your hand/wrist using the built-in velcro and, when finished, you can unwrap them with ease. The design is super comfortable and stylish...and comes in black to hide the dirt and look "new" for longer. And for us ladies, the design is easy on the nails as there is no need to "pull" the guards on/off! Love them!!!

Comments about Triple Eight Sports Triple Eight Wristsavers Wrist Guards:
The velcro is not the best quality. I bought these for my son who is just starting out with rollerblades. On his very first ride, he fell and the wrist guards saved him from scratching his hands, so they work. They are good for kids starting out. I don't about kids/teens/adults who go crazy on skates in halfpipes etc.

I too have found many mistakes in the MRS. The mistakes fall into a few categories: 1) mistakes or omissions in statistics or other information related to state regulations 2) speculative and/or misleading or erroneous information about areas
I too have found many mistakes in the MRS. The mistakes fall into a few categories: 1) mistakes or omissions in statistics or other information related to state regulations 2) speculative and/or misleading or erroneous information about areas
I found a few in the Washington mrs as well.
no worries, just wanted to point it out, I was going to charge it, ie, online, but paper apps are not an option.
and yes residents can do online but not non-res, which is BS IMO. The excuse CO once told me was that CC can't handle the 1500 charge etc... and I said well NM does it just fine with a 3k charge...
honestly I think they're trying to keep non-res from applying, ie requiring paper apps and cash up front vs. a credit card, which I don't exactly mind, but I would have 6 moose,sheep, goat points by now vs. 0.
I just got excited for moose online this year for a moment was all.
$1954 x 3 ( goat, sheep, moose) is $5862 x .025( 2.5% credit card charge ) $146.55 I think this is why they want paper apps.
Hey guys, sorry that some of you are disappointed in some things that have occurred in the MRS this year. Know that we take the criticism to heart and learn from the feedback. I wish we could go back and fix things when they happen, but that's what happens in print. All I can tell you is that I will personally do what I can to make it better.
Here's the response from Brandon Mason, who wrote the Colorado MRS...
Hey guys, it sounds like there are some misunderstandings because of some information in the MRS. On page 76 of the March/April issue of EBJ in the MRS there is a paragraph that talks about Online Applications. The paragraph was a little too vague on my part. It should have said "To apply for deer, elk, and antelope online, visit Colorado's website at wildlife.state.co.us."
On the same page in the Paper Applications paragraph, I neglected to mention that when applying for moose, mountain goat, and sheep, you have to submit a paper application since these "trophy species" can't be applied for online. Paper applications must be postmarked by April 2, which is the application deadline.
Thanks for looking closely at the information we provide and I apologize for the lack of clarity that lead some to believe you could apply for the "trophy species" online. We appreciate the heads up and you keeping us on our toes!
Good luck in the draws!
Brandon Mason

BKC....I think you are right on on the transaction fees being the issue.
I think NM may skirt the transaction fees on unsuccessful applications by refunding back to the credit card, rather than sending a refund check.
There must be a mechanism for recovery of transaction fees with credit cards. If not, every time an item is bought then returned (e.g. you buy jeans at a store and return them), there would be 2% or so lost by the merchant on each returned transaction. I am thinking a recovery of transaction fees must be in place when the fee is refunded.
Not sure though???

SNELLVILLE, Ga. -- "2013 is going to be more expensive. Prices are up," travel agent Lawton Roberts said. More consolidation from the airlines, increased demand and higher fuel prices will lead to higher costs.
But top of mind, how will the Carnival Triumph disaster affect prices and will the industry change in response? "I think it's going to create more regulation from governmental organizations. Not necessarily more regulations because more regulations isn't always the answer but more oversight is needed," Roberts said.
"That ship drifted over 100 miles purely as a result of the wave currents and wind. That's a very dangerous situation and had it occured off the coast of New England it could have been disaster. It could have run aground against the rocks and we could have had another Costa Event."
Because of the Costa ship wreck off the coast of Italy, prices in the Mediterranean have stayed down in order to fill their ships. In some cases offering 2 for 1's and free air. Will that be the case for Carnival in the Caribbean? Lawton says probably not.
"I think there will be a short term effect in reducing prices but it will be very short. Prices across the board are still up year over year," he said. Lawton also says that because of the Costa incident, many people decided to cruise in Alaska instead, causing prices to go up there.
If you don't have any problems going on a Carnival cruise, given what has happened, Roberts recommends you wait. Because of spring break, many cruises for March and April were already booked before last week's incident.
Waiting for the shoulder season of very late April and May might be your best bet to save money. "They're going to watch those very closely and see if they can fill them up. If later bookings drop than you'll see (sales) come out," he said.
Roberts does think prices will drop for Carnival cruises only. It's just a question of how much and how long. And there may be some changes to future safety because of what happened he said. "I guarantee you Carnival is looking at every single ship. Every single engine room.
Every similar design of the fuel source to the engine to ensure that a similar incident doesn't happen anytime soon." But what about if you need a flight to get to that cruise? Expect to pay more!
The recent announced merger between American Airlines and US Airways will continue the trend of higher fares and fewer seats Roberts said. He says to expect "a further strengthening of prices which is only going to help the airlines, not the consumer. And a gradual increase in fares," he said.
And Roberts said airlines are getting bolder and bolder as to what they will charge. "Everything is sticking because they have the power in the absence of competition... The consumer has the ultimate power to try to use a different carrier (but) if they're all doing the same thing where's the power."
Roberts also says that so far Southwest's entrance into the Atlanta market hasn't had that much of an effect. "In fact they are very slowly melding their operation with AirTran and because people liked AirTran, they liked what AirTran offered as a competitor here in Atlanta, they are not as ept to just take that away right away."
And a newly emerging trend in the travel industry is a slight shift away from third party internet booking sites and towards mobile Apps. "Mobile technology is driving a lot of this. Mobile booking capability on your smart phones and on your tablets," Roberts said. He says Travel suppliers have all caught up with what third party sites technology wise and in some cases have even surpassed them.
Nearly all hotels, airlines, cruise companies and rental car businesses have their own Apps putting more power right in the hands of consumer's. "The current trend among hoteliers is to guarantee everyone whose interested in their property that they can get the best deal by booking directly through that hotel," Roberts said.
What are some of Roberts best picks for 2013? He says look for all inclusive deals in the Caribbean. And he also says to look out for the growing market of all inclusive vacation charters. But just about no matter how you spend your vacation dollars this year, your going to spend more.

2013 Season - Who is Shooting Film This Year !
Posted 10 March 2013 - 04:00 PM
Well maybe not. The CN Film Astrophotography forum is the last active publicly open forum left on the globe dedicated to film astrophotography and with some activity it just might stay around for a few more years, maybe more. But an inactive forum is a soon to be dead forum.
There are the regular active members and an occasional posting of some legacy images from way long ago reposted for posterity, with very little new blood showing up.
Forum regulars, if you could dedicate to post a few images this season and if we could possibly recruit some adventuresome photogs to have a hand at it, we might just give the forum some new life. I'm not expecting to get back to the glory days of years ago, but possibly a well respected group of film shooters doing some good work showing the astrophotography newbs and old pros alike that film is still alive and can do some great work. It always did before !
For those just getting started, post questions of film availability, processing, scanning, post processing, etc and veteran members will be sure to advise to the best of their ability.
For old timers posting their work, offer a good thumbnail image on the post and perhaps an external link as well as details as to where and how you made the image as beginners will perhaps be watching.
Other astrophotography forums at CN have monthly contests. Perhaps during the summer we could hold a challenge contest or beginners challenge to get the juices flowing. Just an idea.
Moderator(s). Jump in with your idea(s) as well. Perhaps we can bring new life and function to this well established forum.
Anyone else? Jump in, tell us what you are doing with this traditional craft we call film astrophotography!

Posted 11 March 2013 - 06:18 PM
Noise reduction is a good topic tuc. I often battle with processing for additional sharpness without bringing out more noise. I say noise,as there really is none on the films we shoot. A well exposed negative or transparency has gobs of "data" that inexpensive scanners just can't pull out, at least not without blowing out stronger details and producing that "lovely" effect we call noise. We are mainly looking at scanner noise.
I'm going to ramble a bit as there are new members listening and might like to hear some details that apply to film and often other types of photography.
Exposing our images well is the first step to a good image. For transparencies, that means working up to the sky glow level. As a matter of fact it is good to have some sky glow on the transparency as this produces a thinner transparency that is easier to scan. Very dense and dark transparencies is a problem for scanners. The opposite is true for negatives as the roles are reversed. Recording too much sky glow on transparencies will produce higher contrast, but can be negligible in negative films.
It is true that a wider (faster) lens will record extended object such as nebulae more quickly, but a stopped down lens can be used to expose longer and record more stars. Sky glow will also take longer to accumulate on a stopped down lens. I have found that if you want to invest in your exposures, a stopped down lens will create better images, at the expense of a longer exposure.
Once that is accomplished, then your ready to scan your processed images knowing all has been done to produce a superior product.
As this is a diverse operation I will speak in general terms. It is important to produce scans that have good shadow and midtone detail while not overemphasizing highlights. Furthermore, stretching an image to have midtones reach highlight levels produces a brighter, but poor image. Watch those histograms !
Once a full resolution image has gone through basic processing, including levels, cropping, and color (if applicable) correction there is bound to be some noise. There are many different solutions here and I have not fully tested or experienced more than a few.
Neat Image is the noise profile solution I use and it works well. The removal of noise improves tonality and low contrast detail such as nebulae. After noise has been reduced you will find that you have more room to tweak the processing. Fainter details are now prominent and there is more "pop" to the image.
Neat Image is just one example of a good tool and I will only comment that you will need to play around with some daylight images first to get the hang of it and then apply it to your astrophotography.
Photoshop offers basic noise reduction, but I find that it will address only mild cases and is not as powerful as Neat Image.
I will add that sharpening should be the last item on your list and this should be done after altering image size for either printing or posting on the web. I even turn off the USM (unsharp mask) on the scanning software as this is a source of noise (I use an Epson V600).
That's a mouthful, so I will stop there.
How was everyone's weekend?

I'm going to be new to film astrophotography this year. Just finished rebuilding an Olympus OM-1 MD camera.
Hope this forum stays live!

Tuc, DeNoiseMyImage 2.1 Free version is my all time favorite. It's easy to use and gives the best results from the many programs I've tried (Photoshop default, its plugins Topaz Denoise and Grain Surgery, Neat Image, Noiseware, SGBNR in PixInsight LE and several others). The newer versions have another kind of control, that I wasn't able to understant and, moreover, the ad appearing at the start of the free versions is too buggy. Its substantial disadvantage is it can work only with 24 bit images. That's why I use it as one of the last steps in proccessing.
Nightfly, always when I tried to denoise an astrophoto in Neat Image, the program complained it was unable to find a uniform area to build the noise profile. When I ignored this warning, the program deleted the faint stars. How do you solve it?
Posted 12 March 2013 - 07:24 PM
Scanning a blank piece of film will profile scanner noise. The scanner itself offers plenty of noise !
Posted 12 March 2013 - 10:39 PM
Posted 12 March 2013 - 11:18 PM
I'd probably use an old Canon 7s rangefinder from about 1968. It has a "T" setting, so the shutter can stay open by itself while I tend mostly to collecting images with a CCD camera on the tracking mount (can't waste any precious clear nights on just film).
Hopefully, I can just use the marked infinity focus, and things won't be too fuzzy. I guess I'll need dewstrips on the camera to keep dew off, since the film camera won't generate any heat while it's running.
If the resulting images are of poor quality, digitizing them with a slide duplicator and DSLR should be sufficient.

Great to see you on the forum and we are looking forward to a contribution to images this year.
Posted 03 April 2013 - 11:31 PM
I would take the film in for development to the local grocery store and they would give me the negative without charge because they thought the film was defective because there weren't any terrestrial images. I brought them back and scanned them in and a processing away I went.
Would there be a film still in production that would be viable today?
Posted 04 April 2013 - 04:56 AM
Slides: Provia 400X
Color Negative: Kodak Gold 100, 200 & 400 or Fujicolor 100 and 200
B&W: Fuji Acros 100
Acros can be hypered successfully with remarkable gains, but is fine right out of the box.

The designator is similar to Kodak's GA, GB, GC for Gold 100, 200, & 400.
I believe the Super HQ 200 is the same as Superia 200.
Superia 100 in medium format is nothing less than spectacular.

Posted 05 April 2013 - 11:35 AM
Your mention of "formats" has shaken loose a few misplaced nuts that have been nesting in parts unknown within my skull. Mainly that a format can have an effect on the performance of some films. I remember it was quite the shock to find out that Tech Pan on glass plates was a totally worthless combination when it was found that the emulsion had no response to the hypering process(vacuum followed by H2 soak). The assumption was that it had to do with the gaseous permeability(or lack of) of the glass vs. the usual ESTHAR or acetate base.
So I'm going to assume that there will be no difference in performance between the medium and the 35mm Fuji formats. The film is cheap enough and the only thing I really have to loose is the time doing the tests.
Just one more opportunity to live and learn.
Thanks again!
Posted 05 April 2013 - 12:12 PM
Certainly the film size will create improvements in color and tonality as well as star image quality.
I have shot Fujicolor 100 CN in 35mm and can attest that it is the same film as the Superia 100 CN in 120 format. You might want to scoop some up as I believe it is either discontinued or soon will be.
Good luck and be sure to post when you get your results !
Posted 05 April 2013 - 01:07 PM
Also, Thanks for the tip! Guess I'll go ahead and order some more Fujicolor 100 CN.
