it has been a while since I posted a sketch here. I have been very busy and had to neglect my hobby.
However, I came to see the sketches from you guys from time to time.
In december I spent some time in Cuba. And I had the chance to see for the first time a ring around the moon (moon dog). It was spectacular. The ring is a perfect 22 degrees circle. On the 27th Jupiter was also included in the ring. I decided to sktech the view on my note pad and work on it with pastels and GIMP software back home.

Women aged 15-49
Source of information
The eligible woman selected for interview
Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Repeat greeting if not already read to this woman: We are from (COUNTRY-SPECIFIC AFFILIATION). We are working on a project concerned with family health and education. I would like to talk to you about this. The interview will take about (NUMBER) minutes. All the information we obtain will remain strictly confidential and your answers will never be identified. Also, you are not obliged to answer any question you don't want to, and you may withdraw from the interview at any time. May I start now? If permission is given, begin the interview. If the woman does not agree to continue, thank her, complete WM7, and go to the next interview. Discuss this result with your supervisor for a future revisit.
Literal question
In what month and year were you born?
Interviewer instructions
Age (WM8 or WM9) is one of the most important questions in the interview, since almost all analysis of the data depends on the respondent's age. This question must be asked independently of the information on the Household Questionnaire. Even if you already asked the respondent her age when you were completing the Household Questionnaire, you must ask again for her date of birth and age on the Questionnaire for Individual Women. --- If the respondent knows her date of birth, write it in the appropriate spaces for 'Month' and 'Year'. You will need to convert the month into numbers. For this, January is '01', February is '02', March is '03', etc. If the month or day contains only one digit, use a leading zero to fill in the first space. For example, the month of March is coded as '03'. If she does not know her month of birth, circle '98' for 'DK month' and ask her for the year of her birth. If she knows the year, write it in the spaces for 'Year'. Try under all circumstances to obtain at least the year of birth. If the respondent is unable to provide this information, ask whether she has any documentation such as an identification card, horoscope, or a birth or baptismal certificate that might give her date of birth. If such documentation is available, ask the woman if the information on the document(s) is correct. Only when it is absolutely impossible to even estimate the year of birth should you circle '9998' for 'DK year'.

I have a query on the size of the mailboxes that Zimbra desktop can handle without giving problems. I use Zimbra mainly for Yahoo mailbox offline use. I also have a google mailbox which I use only for mailing list and such subscriptions which is more than 4GB in size. I do not want problems with Yahoo mailbox if I configure Zimbra for google mail due to its size.
Any experiences with huge mailbox sizes and things to be aware of will be appreciated.

Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Nick Bonino buried the game winner 1:54 into
overtime, as the Anaheim Ducks downed the Detroit Red Wings, 3-2, in Game 5 of
this Western Conference quarterfinal series from Honda Center.
Ben Lovejoy set up Bonino's deciding goal, as the Anaheim defenseman carried
the puck below the Detroit goal line and worked around a defender before
sliding a backhand pass through the crease to the low left side, where Bonino
pounded in a one-timer to give Anaheim a 3-2 series lead.
Ryan Getzlaf and Kyle Palmieri each scored once in regulation, while Jonas
Hiller posted 29 saves for the Ducks, who will look to wrap up the series in
Detroit on Friday.
Mikael Samuelsson and Johan Franzen registered a goal apiece in the setback,
with Jimmy Howard stopping 31-of-34 shots for Detroit, which had won the
previous two overtime games in this series.

Barn Blocksjordanferney
This set of seven blocks would be such a great addition to a block collection. They are from Rijada over on Etsy, and are handmade from poplar and pine. I love their neutral color palette and their unique shape. Creating a nesting stack would be a great building challenge. Maybe part of what I love about them is also the idea of creating a huge pile of them, like the one after the jump.

'Cinderella' on her toes
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 16, 2013 at 10:31 a.m.
"If you believe, anything is possible."
Marion Ballet Theatre's "Cinderella"
When: 7 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday
Where: Ocala Civic Theatre, 4337 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala
Cost: $20 for adults, $10 for ages 11 and younger
Info: 236-2274 or www.ocalacivictheatre.com
Also on stage
What: Marion Ballet Theatre will host its annual dance festival with regional dance groups
When: 7:30 p.m. Saturday
Where: Ocala Civic Theatre, 4337 E. Silver Springs Blvd., Ocala
Tickets: $5-$10
Info: 236-2274
Nicole Benson said she lives by those words and tries to stress them to her students at Ocala's Jeanne Benson-Smith Academy of Dance.
The mantra also is the underlying theme of "Cinderella," an original ballet of the classic fairy tale pitting a young waif against her stepmother and two ugly stepsisters — a quest that ultimately brings her into the arms of Prince Charming.
Set to a score by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev, "Cinderella" will be performed by the academy's resident ballet company, the Marion Ballet Theatre, this weekend at Ocala Civic Theatre. Nearly 100 dancers, from 3 years old and up, plus seven professional male dancers from out of town, will perform. A Cinderella-style carriage on loan from the Grand Oaks Resort & Museum in Weirsdale will help set the stage.
The ballet company's choreographer and artistic director, Benson said she has never danced in "Cinderella," nor has she ever seen a performance of it or heard the music prior to this.
"I intentionally didn't look at any other company's rendition," Benson said. "I just wanted to do it raw, and I created individual movements with my dancers, knowing their individual abilities. The storyline is key in that it centers around poetic love and goes through the obstacles, and finally the dream is fulfilled."
Playing Cinderella is 14-year-old Emilee Plazarin, who donned her first pair of ballet slippers at age 3. The daughter of Corissa and Richard Plazarin of Belleview, Emilee looks very much like the Cinderella from books and movies.
The part comes with challenges, Emilee said.
"Having to act is very hard," she said. "It's scary 'cause I don't want to let anyone down."
Also "acting" on stage will be Emily Leppala, who, though far from ugly, screws up her face to portray one of Cinderella's ugly stepsisters. Then she skillfully switches roles to the Fairy Godmother, evoking completely different facial expressions and, certainly, grace.
MBT staple Willie Williams — a lead in recent "Nutcrackers" and last year's "Peter and the Wolf" — will bring a bit of comic relief by shaving off his beard and mustache and donning a dress to become the other stepsister.
A host of dancers bring to life Cinderella's little mice and bird friends, as well as several prancing white horses in elaborate costumes designed especially for this production.
Benson said the performers have been learning their parts and practicing since the first of the year.
"The most rewarding moments of the ballet are yet to come, when we sit back and witness the children surpassing their own expectations," Benson said. "For me, it's not what they can do today. It's in trying to create something that they have to work at to accomplish for the future. I wish their parents could know where we were at day one and where we are now. It brings tears to my eyes. "
Among the male professionals hired by Benson is former Orlando Ballet principle Israel Rodriguez, who will portray Prince Charming.
Rodriguez, 43, was a professional dancer in his homeland of Cuba and later in Mexico before moving to Florida.
Currently a traveling guest artist and choreographer, Rodriguez also has been conducting master classes for Benson's dancers while in Ocala.
"I can see they've been trained correctly," Rodriguez said. "I can tell they have had very strong training. My goal is to now pass all my knowledge to those students who are dancing for the first time with a professional dancer, and to leave something there that the kids will remember, not only the company, but the audience, as well."

By David Alexander
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel on Wednesday defended the U.S. decision to trade five Taliban leaders at Guantanamo for war prisoner Bowe Bergdahl, insisting it was the right move but admitting failure to tell lawmakers hurt trust with Congress.
Hagel told the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee the administration felt a growing sense of urgency about freeing Bergdahl in recent weeks due to concerns that his health was deteriorating and warnings from Qatari intermediaries that "time was not on our side."
"We grew increasingly concerned that any delay, or any leaks, could derail the deal and further endanger Sergeant Bergdahl," Hagel told the sometimes contentious hearing. "We were told by Qataris that a leak would end the negotiations for Bergdahl's release."
Lawmakers have sharply criticized the Obama administration for freeing the five Taliban leaders held at Guantanamo prison without giving them 30 days notice as required by law. Some have charged that the administration violated its policy of not negotiating with terrorists.
The initial euphoria over Bergdahl's release swiftly ebbed, with some of his former comrades charging that he had deserted before his capture and claiming that the search for him had jeopardized the lives of other soldiers.
Hagel said he had been "offended and disappointed" about the treatment of Bergdahl and his family by some people. He said a comprehensive U.S. Army review would make a determine about the legal issues surrounding Bergdahl's disappearance from his outpost in Afghanistan and later capture.
"His conduct will be judged on facts, not hearsay, posturing, charges or innuendo," Hagel said.
The Pentagon chief rejected the notion the administration violated its policy of not negotiating with terrorists.
"Because Bergdahl was a detained combatant being held by an enemy force, and not a hostage, it (the exchange) was fully consistent with our long-standing policy not to offer concessions to hostage-takers," he said.
Efforts to secure Bergdahl's release began to quicken in January after the administration received a "proof of life" video from the Taliban through the Qatari intermediaries.
"It was disturbing," Hagel said. "It showed a deterioration in his physical appearance and mental state compared to previous videos."
Feeling a greater sense of urgency because of the video and a break-off in indirect talks, the administration negotiated a memorandum of understanding in early May with Qatar detailing the security measures that would be enforced if any Taliban detainees were transferred to their custody, he said.
After the memo was signed, U.S. officials received a warning from Qatari intermediaries that "time was not on our side," Hagel said. They moved forward with indirect talks on the mechanism for the prisoner swap, reaching a deal on May 27.
"We were told by the Qataris that a leak would end the negotiations for Bergdahl's release," Hagel said. "We also knew that he would be extremely vulnerable during any movement, and our military personnel conducting the hand-off would be exposed to a possible ambush or other deadly scenarios."
The U.S. defense chief said the swap was set in motion just four days later. He said U.S. forces did not know the general area of the handoff until 24 hours beforehand and did not have the precise location until one hour before the swap.
Hagel said he valued the Pentagon's partnership with Congress and knew "that trust has been broken" by the failure to notify Congress.
"We made the right decision, and we did it for the right reasons: to bring home one of our own people," Hagel said. "America does not leave its soldiers behind."

Six-year-old Critical After Being Shot by Her 13-year-old Brother
By Gilma Avalos, NBCMiami.com
May 5, 2013
A six-year-old Florida girl was in critical condition Sunday after being shot by her 13-year-old brother Saturday night in a city just north of Fort Lauderdale.
Neighbors said the two children were playing a game when the shooting occurred shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday in Oakland Park, a city in Broward Country.
"They were playing hide and go seek. I don't know how it went down but he shot his sister," said neighbor Peter Milano, who saw a frantic woman he thought was the children's aunt running down the block.
"She came up to me 'Is she ok? Is she ok?' At the time I didn't know what she was talking about," Milano said.
It's not clear if authorities will pursue criminal charges in the case. Detectives believe the shooting was accidental but were still trying to determine exactly how the teen got access to the gun. The children were home alone at the time of the incident, said Dani Moschella, a spokeswoman for the Broward Sheriff's Office.
Homicide detectives spent time talking with the 13-year-old. Neighbors said he drew pictures for investigators as he described what happened.

As we recover, please thank your local heroes
(Page 2 of 2)
Joe Lhota, chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, is my new hero. He took the reins and made the early decision to shut down the MTA to avoid catastrophe. His job is one of the hardest in the city, and the only press coverage he receives is for raising fares and making cuts. He has proved to be a tremendous leader.
It's hard to understand just how stressful and trying these types of disasters are for our lawmakers. Know that as little as you're sleeping, they're sleeping less, and not seeing their own families.
It's times like these when we realize how much we need government assistance, and we're very lucky to have such valued emergency-response teams.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency was established for disaster mitigation and response. It has already begun disbursing aid throughout the tri-state area. Although the agency has been criticized for past mismanagements, thus far its response to Sandy has been commendable.
Over the next few weeks, we should have power restored, but our infrastructure will take much longer to repair. Millions of dollars, if not billions, have already been spent on cleanup and temporary housing and workers. Over time, highways have to be rebuilt, industries like fishing and boating restored, mass transit systems need major repair, and homes must be resurrected.
Let's make sure disaster-recovery funds go to those who truly need them. In Long Beach, eventually we'll rebuild the boardwalk, with as much care and detail as the first time. Summer will come and Sandy will be a distant memory.
I've lived in or near the small village of Island Park for almost my entire life. Island Park lost so much. But we are a people of faith. Through the grace of God, we will recover and we will stand strong.
Please take the time to stop and thank your local volunteers for their selflessness.
Electrical power and personal possessions mean nothing. We are all so very fortunate. Give your children and loved ones an extra kiss tonight. God bless everyone.

Taliban prisoner swap in exchange forAmerican talks draws criticism
Newscast Media WASHINGTON—The release of five Taliban figures in exchange for a
captured US soldier is drawing criticism in Washington. Afghanistan expert Anand
Gopal, a fellow at the New American Foundation in Washington DC, told Deutsche
Welle in an interview the move increases the chances for successful peace talks.
"This is the only prisoner of war in the entire 13-year conflict in Afghanistan, and it is
one of the last remaining issues to be resolved in terms of the military, because the
US military has a motto of not leaving people behind," Gopal said.
More generally, though, Gopal sees this as a possibility of being a confidence-building
measure in terms of possible peace talks with the Taliban. What they've been asking
for from day one is a prisoner exchange—trading Guantanamo prisoners for Sergeant
Bowe Bergdahl.
"The story of the five is very interesting, because all of them had tried to surrender
and switch sides in 2001 and 2002. So, many of them could have actually been
members of the Afghan government if they hadn't been captured.
"For example, one of the five is somebody from the same tribe as Hamid Karzai. And
he tried to join the Afghan government, and Pakistan arrested him and gave him to
the United States and sent him to Guantanamo. Another one was somebody who was
actually a member of the Afghan government. He was a former Taliban member who
joined Hamid Karzai's government, but due to false intelligence from a warlord, he was
arrested and sent to Guantanamo," Gopal added.
The Taliban has not been labeled a terrorist group by the United States. There are
individual members of the Taliban who are on the United Nations blacklist. But as a
group, the Taliban is not considered terroristic.

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Buck Showalter has pushed all the right
buttons for the Baltimore Orioles this season.
Showalter elected to start his veteran left-hander Joe Saunders, despite a
woeful mark in his career against the Texas Rangers in Arlington.
He didn't disappoint.
Saunders tossed 5 2/3 innings of one-run ball, while Nate McLouth tallied two
RBI and a run scored in the Orioles' 5-1 win over the two-time American
League-champion Rangers in the AL wild-card game.
The 31-year-old Saunders (1-0), who was 0-6 with a lofty 9.38 ERA in six
career starts at Rangers Ballpark, fanned four, surrendered six hits and
walked one for Baltimore, which is in the postseason for the first time since
Jim Johnson, who led the majors with 51 saves this year, left the bases loaded
in the ninth.
The Orioles will now host Game 1 of the ALDS at Camden Yards against the New
York Yankees on Sunday.
Texas, a team which twice came within a strike of winning last year's World
Series, will shockingly watch the rest of the postseason at home.
The Rangers were atop the AL West standings for a whopping 178 days and led
the division by 13 games over the Oakland Athletics on June 30. But the A's
went an MLB-best 57-26 since to take the crown, while the Rangers went 43-40.
Texas dropped five of its last six games, which included a three-game sweep
this past week against Oakland, which clinched the division title of the final
day of the regular season.
Making his postseason debut, Yu Darvish (0-1), a 16-game winner during the
year, struck out seven, but allowed three runs -- two earned -- on five hits
over 6 2/3 frames to take the loss.

FAQs about Retweets (RT)
What is a Retweet?
- A Retweet is a re-posting of someone else's Tweet. Twitter's Retweet feature helps you and others quickly share that Tweet with all of your followers.
- Sometimes people type RT at the beginning of a Tweet to indicate that they are re-posting someone else's content. This isn't an official Twitter command or feature, but signifies that they are quoting another user's Tweet.
What does a Retweet look like?
- Retweets look like normal Tweets with the author's name and username next to it, but are distinguished by the Retweet icon and the name of the user who retweeted the Tweet. If you see a message from a stranger in your timeline, look for retweeted by info in the Tweet — the retweeter should be someone you follow.
Where do Retweets appear?
Tweets retweeted by other people:
- You can see Retweets your followers have retweeted in your home timeline.
- Retweets, like regular Tweets, will not show up from people you've blocked.
Tweets you have retweeted:
- If you retweet someone you follow, it will be visible on your profile timeline.
- If you retweet someone you do not follow, it will be visible on both your home and profile timelines.
Your Tweets that others have retweeted:
- Go to Notifications in the top navigation bar. In the Notifications section you will see all activity concerning your Tweets — including which have recently been retweeted and by whom.
How do I turn Retweets off?
- You can turn off Retweets for a specific user if you don't like what they share. Select Turn off Retweets from the gear icon drop-down menu on a user's profile to stop seeing Tweets they've retweeted.
- Turning Retweets on or off is not retroactive, meaning that you can't remove Retweets that are already in your timeline.
- It is not possible to turn off ALL Retweets from ALL users.
How can I undo or delete a Retweet that I've done?
- You can undo a Retweet you've made by clicking on Retweeted in the Tweet. This will remove the retweet from your timeline, but will not delete the original Tweet.
Why can't some Tweets be retweeted?
- If another user's Tweets are protected, you will not be able to retweet their content. If you see the lock icon next to the user's name and information on their profile page or on their Tweets, their Tweets are protected and you will not be able to share their Tweets on your timeline through Twitter's Retweet feature.
- You can see their Tweets in your timeline because they have accepted your follow request, but because they have chosen not to share their Tweets publicly, their Tweets cannot be retweeted by you or anyone else.
- You cannot retweet your own Tweet. However, if your Tweets are public, others will be able to retweet you.
Are there limits on Retweets?
- There is no limit to the number of times a Tweet can be retweeted, but Twitter will only show up to the most recent 100 people who retweeted any public Tweet.
- Retweets are counted toward your 1,000 Tweets per day limit. Read more.

You can help create photo museum exhibit
"Soapbox!' will be based on choices of visitors to museum and website
"Soapbox! The Audience Speaks"
Where: Museum of Photographic Arts, Balboa Park
When: Voting continues in the museum and online through Aug. 5. Exhibit runs Oct. 6 through May 12, 2013
Admission: $8
Phone: (619) 238-7559
Online: mopa.org
Something wonderful has broken out at Balboa Park's Museum of Photographic Arts.
Visitors to the museum are talking about photos — striking up conversations with total strangers about how one photo might compare to another.
"It's been really fun to see groups discussing the images," said Deborah Klochko, the museum's director. "Sometimes it's a group of friends or a family group that comes together. But sometimes it's a group of people who just happen to be here, discussing how they are going to rank a piece of art."
The catalyst for the welcome exchanges is the museum's new, technologically advanced touch table that has been installed in the galleries. Using software developed in collaboration with UCSD's Pacific Rim Undergraduate Experience and Japan's National Institute of Information and Communication Technology, the table allows visitors to view and rank 120 images from the museum's permanent collection.
When the ranking concludes on Aug. 5, the top 40 photos will be assembled into a gallery exhibit, "Soapbox! The Audience Speaks," on view Oct. 6 through May 12.
"The technology is certainly important, but it's not the most important," Klochko said. "It's the content (that's most important). It's how people interact with it, and what they learn from it. And so we are really trying to work hard not to just have a bunch of gadgets, but to really have a means for people to interact with the collection and with ideas related to the exhibitions."
MOPA has been a regional leader in technological innovation and experimenting with ways to make the gallery experience more interactive. The institution was among the first local museums to use QR codes and iPads to provide an additional level of information for visitors. And MOPA continues to explore ways of presenting its collection on the Internet. Last week, it added an online component to "Soapbox! The Audience Speaks," allowing visitors to its website to also participate in the crowdsourced exhibition.
"We've been an incubator for some of these new ideas in the park, showing their value and showing that they work," said Joaquin Ortiz, MOPA's digital interpretation manager. "What starts to happen is other museums come by and say, 'Oh, we didn't think we could do that just yet,' " and then they are inspired to try something similar.
But many of those technologies have provided a relatively solitary experience. The light table, supplemented by a big-screen monitor, allows group interaction and has become a focal point of the gallery.
"Especially on weekends, it's in constant use," Ortiz said. "We weren't expecting that. We always kind of undershoot these things (in terms of expectations), not because we want to but because technology is so new to museums. But what we've found with this is people were waiting to use it, some people were hovering around and others wanted to do it again and again and again."
The museum and its collaborators, funded by a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services and aided by the Balboa Park Online Collaborative, have been working with the table for more than a year, using open-source software that will be available for use by other institutions. The UCSD students involved in the project recently won a MUSE Award from the American Association of Museum for the table's first incarnation, "My Gallery."
But that software's interface was deemed too complicated for museum visitors. In its present manifestation, the evaluation process is turned into a game. After you (or your group) rank 10 photos with star ratings, you get a short video reward. For level one, the "Brownie" level, it's Klochko with Tino, her pug (she protests if you call it a dog) thanking you for your participation.

Cool. I'm very interested to see how this turns out.Ace, how do you measure the piston clearance? Considering you have the head and 2cv has the rest of it. Curious....
Thanks Ace. Same procedure with S cams?
He has to give me the measurement of how far down in the hole that the piston is at TDC, and also the thickness of the head gasket. Then I can know how far the valve can come down without touching. The cam profile will dictate how far the valve will be out at TDC, and I have a set of AVL cams in my possession, so I can get that from the profile.With the AVL cams intake valve only beginning to open at 9*BTDC, it won't be open very much at TDC. But, it depends on how high up the piston is. If the piston is not right up to the top, and we have a 1mm gasket thickness or something like that, we might have enough room.
I would also like to note that because of the similarities between the valves and chamber of the AVL and the UCE, all these same options can be available for the UCE too.So, if any UCE owners want a big valve kit for their UCE, and don't want cams or rocker changes, we can accommodate.
Ace,Could you indicate the anticipated ball park performance with this mod, along with the usual free flow and carb upgrades.
woah how much better would the upgrades be if you did the head and a 535cc big bore?
I'm VERY happy with what's going on so far & this guy (YOU, Ace) is just the best guy to work with that I've come across in a long time. We are SO lucky to have him & the Mondello guys. I hammered on the cylinder for a while this afternoon with ablock of hardwood & my 4 pound, coxcombed harley hammer. No luck. Dead arm. These guys ceMENT the gaskets in Chennai. Later tonight I'm going down & drive a putty knife in horizontally all the way around. That'll do it. Then the piston will go off to Ace to have recesses calculated & cut into the top for the huge beautiful new F-ing valves! Stay tuned
......The worst part is getting the old gasket off both surfaces; no gouges allowed). It stewed all night in carb cleaner, but that evaporates too fast. Goo-Gone is pretty good. Still a finger-killer job. I should have bought some acetone, but what do I do with the rest of it? Don't need it......

- 1876: Peachtree Fizzing Tea brand established.[8]
- 1876: Hogwarts caretaker Rancorous Carpe devises an elaborate trap to capture and contain Peeves, the resident poltergeist. The trap fails and causes Peeves to come into possession of several dangerous weapons, which leads to an evacuation of the school. After three days, an agreement between Peeves and Headmistress Eupraxia Mole is reached, resulting in Peeves gaining new privileges.[9]

Hi all,
Does anyone know if the Salesforce.com zimlet is currently beta or is it a fully functioning release in Zimbra?
I'm having big problems. When dragging an email message to the zimlet, it will only allow me to add the message to accounts already existing in Salesforce. For instance, I cannot drag a message to an individual contact that I have in Salesforce. It simply won't recognize. I can only drag messages to accounts.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Deer B (Whitetail buck)
Elk B
How did you do?
Good luck BB! I have avoided MT since the prices went up. I would put in for 700 antelope but with the tag reductions and low drawing odds right now I have decided to wait untill they somewhat recover.
I only put in for my general Elk/Deer this year. Will be concentrating on my Bull Elk and a hopefully a nice Buck Muley this season. I have hunted 620 for antelope in the past but decided not to put in for it this year.
Deer B (Mulley Doe)
Elk B and Archery Antelope.
A sweet Antelope tag.. totally pumped.
270-01. Fun hunt for my daughter
And no elk B... first time in a while. 95% last year. Hopefully my area is not getting even more people.
My wife and I , for the second consecutive year, drew the only two nonresident buck antelope tags in Unit 215. After Huntin Fool promoted it this year, I thought it would be a safe bet just to earn points. That is crazy! I think drawing a 680 sheep tag had better odds than drawing that tag two years in a row.

Mark Miller isn't a subtle guy.
Miller, treasurer of the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), recently apologized publicly after using the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to tweet a comment comparing the attacks to a political battle about the planned Cincinnati streetcar system.
Now Miller has posted an altered photograph on his Facebook page that some people believe is racist. The photo depicts a streetcar filled with young African-American males brandishing weapons. The streetcar has a sign that reads, "Banks & Freedom Center Only."
Based on the latest comments on his Facebook page, it appears Christopher Smitherman either doesn't understand the wording of Issue 48 or is deliberately trying to mislead voters.
On Wednesday, Smitherman wrote on his Facebook page: "Remember Issue 48 DOES not STOP light rail but it does force City Council to ask the citizens (sic) permission before spending $144 million. City Council does not want to ask the people (for) permission."
As several legal experts have agreed, Issue 48's net effect will be to stop the planning and construction of any type of passenger rail project within Cincinnati city limits until Dec. 31, 2020 — even if the project is privately financed.
It will be headed to the riverfront, after all.
U.S. Transportation Ray LaHood will hold a conference call Thursday afternoon with media to announce that Cincinnati's planned streetcar system is getting a $10.92 million grant. The announcement is set for 12:15 p.m.
As part of CityBeat's continuing election coverage, we've once again sent a questionnaire to the non-incumbent Cincinnati City Council candidates to get their reactions on a broad range of issues.
Nine of the 14 non-incumbents chose to answer our questions. Others either didn't respond or couldn't meet the deadline.
During the next few weeks, we will print the responses from the non-incumbents to a different topic each time.
Today's question is, "Do you support or oppose the city's streetcar system as currently planned and financed?"
A series of contradictory tweets and blog comments posted by members of an anti-transit group has observers wondering of there is dissension in its ranks — or whether one member simply has anger management issues.
Ever since an initiative put on the Nov. 8 ballot by the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) was rejected by voters, someone with the group has vowed on various local blogs that it still would try to block Cincinnati's streetcar project.
A prominent, nonpartisan group today announced its opposition to Issue 48, the proposed amendment to Cincinnati's charter that would block the creation of a streetcar system for at least a decade.
The League of Women Voters of the Cincinnati Area issued a press release today stating it opposes the amendment because the wording is so broadly written that it would prevent the development of any passenger rail system including light rail or commuter rail.
The person who often ranks in polls as the most popular politician in Hamilton County is breaking with his Republican colleagues and is appearing in a new radio commercial urging a "no" vote on Issue 48.
Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. asks residents to oppose the anti-streetcar initiative that was placed on the ballot by the NAACP's local chapter and the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST). The commercial will begin airing Wednesday during the morning drive time period on WLW (700 AM) and WKRC (550 AM), two stations with predominately conservative, Republican audiences.
A proposal made today by a Hamilton County commissioner involving sewer work related to the city of Cincinnati's planned streetcar system won't harm or delay the project, city staffers said.
That's because the motion introduced by County Commissioner Chris Monzel, a streetcar foe, would only affect additional improvements sought by the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), said Chris Eilerman, the city's streetcar project manager. The city already has allocated $3 million of its own money to relocate manholes needed for the streetcar project and do some of MSD's other improvements.
A community group known for its controversial and antagonistic tactics is asking other neighborhood organizations to take a vote on whether they support Cincinnati's proposed streetcar project.
In a recent e-mail sent to leaders of the city's network of neighborhood councils, John Sess, president of the Westwood Civic Association, wants to gauge sentiment about the project. Sess states he will be "keeping tracks of the results," presumably to lobby city officials to reconsider the project.

One man was hospitalized after being pulled from the water Saturday afternoon in Emerald Isle.
The Emerald Isle Volunteer Fire Department received a call at around 3:40 p.m. to respond to a boat that was taking on water in the Bogue Inlet, said Fire Captain Jeff Strawser.
Coast Guard had already arrived on scene when Emerald Isle VFD and the two men were on board of the Coast Guard boat.
One of the two men had fallen into the water and was experiencing mild symptoms of hypothermia, according to area media reports.
He was transported to Carteret General Hospital where his current condition is unknown, Strawser said.
The other man did not require any medical treatment.
Coast Guard crews transported the uninjured man and their recreation fishing vessel back to shore.
The incident is still under investigation, according to Strawser.

Able Ammo is now exclusively carrying Vinci shotgun shells. which were launched in Europe about a year ago as a premium shotgun shell. Vinci shells have a 1" high metal head which is nickel plated for extra protection from corrosion. The primer is also nickel plated and forms better sealing between the head and primer. The hull is made of a very high quality plastic which helps to achieve a better crimp and texture. and it has a metallic additive which gives it a unique appearance. The powder has been formulated through a special milling process used exclusively for Vinci shotgun shells. The characteristics of this powder enable the Vinci shells to achieve high velocities and keep pressure down compared to other competitive shotshells. You will be pleasantly surprised at the smoothness of these shotshells. All Vinci shotshells contain 5% antimony lead shot that has been specially selected for roundness and uniformity.
The best feature of the Vinci shotshell has to be the wad. The shell contains a one-of-a-kind "unitized" wad with a cork base. The advantage of this is that it helps protect the shot at the bottom of the shot column. By having a soft base you get less deformation of pellets and in turn minimize the number of flyers. The combination of the "unitized" wad and hard shot ensure phenomenal patterns.

I've done a few talks to camera recently – interviews at the itSMF Spain conference and a mock programme at the UK. The UK thought I was perfect for 'Antiques Roadshow' and I have to admit I fit the title's parameters. I watched the people using modern video equipment and it did make me feel old. Nearly 40 years ago I was editor of the student TV society at University and I was recalling how many of us it took to deliver 30 minutes worth of black & white programme onto 2 inch wide reel-to-reel video tape. It seems all but unbelievable watching the kids now (the age I was then) record it in perfectly balanced colour on something the size of a small book – when our kit weighed more than the library. But the whole situation is another example of getting focused on the changes and missing what stays the same.
While the television technology has changed beyond recognition, the basics of interviewing haven't. So hopefully I helped by trying to follow those basic rules for an interviewee – ignore the camera, keep talking, try to say something interesting. You can judge for yourself at http://www.best-management-practice.tv/best-management-practice-at-the-itsmf-uk-conference-2010. (Actually if you are sad enough to be interested in the earlier ITIL days, I shall be writing an article on that next year.)
So, this TV stuff is like most services these days – the technology bit keeps changing, using new ideas – basically becoming far more complex to understand whilst at the same time becoming ever easier to use. That means customer expectations keep increasing (you don't find many people content with black & white TV any more) but at the real core, the prime deliverables remain the same. We might talk more and more about plasma vs LCD, 3D, surround sound, HD and all the rest; but the real satisfaction comes from watching people be clever, funny, informative etc in a way that holds our attention and entertains us.
And there is the heart of most of what I have been talking about at conferences for the past few years. It is easy to measure things like pixels and screen size and the number of channels and hours of programming available, but so much harder to measure what we actually want from a TV service.
Keeping that old television link, last week was the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's murder: a sad time for anyone of my age and background. So I found myself watching old clips of Lennon on a programme recalling his life. Now the man was clearly an extremist with impossible dreams – and I may well return to my belief that we need some extremists to make the majority move at all, but that's another blog. One of his lines, though, did trigger the realisation that this need for real measurement isn't a new idea. He was ranting about governments (as usual) and said "If anybody can put on paper what our government, and the American government etc., and the Russian, Chinese, what they are actually trying to do, you know, and what they think they're doing, I'd be very pleased to know what they think they're doing". Now he followed that with "I think they're all insane!" which perhaps is more about presumed results than objective measurement, but nonetheless the basic concept is interesting.
We want to know what is at the heart of our and others' behaviour but it is very difficult to express that. It is hard even to ask sometimes in a way that doesn't sound as if you have failed to pick up the social or business norms; because often we just presume there is a reason and take the usual comfort in things 'that have always been done like that'. Maybe it is just easier to hide behind the numbers and the detail of how you are doing things rather than making it all that clear what it is you are trying to do, why you are doing it or even who you think you are doing it for.
One last seasonal example maybe, since it is mid-December as I write this. Many of us will get back to work in January to be greeted by the question 'Did you have a good Christmas?' For those who did, you will know without recourse to precise measurements – it isn't based on the number of presents you received, how many carols you sang or how much turkey you ate. Unless the biggest fun you have is skiing, it probably won't have mattered that much if it snowed. But if you had a good Christmas then you will know – but my, isn't it hard to set genuinely accurate measures beforehand?
And what can we learn from that, or at least set out to do better? Maybe if we are buying or delivering any kind of service we should at least try to be aware of – if not the ultimate – then at least a higher level goal. And don't be surprised or disappointed if your expensive new TV might not affect the entertainment value, although it will help you see the ball better in the cricket, and that might be an important factor. And at work, a new finance package won't make your profit margins higher – but it might tell you faster what they are, and perhaps that makes an important difference. Just be sure that's important enough for what it is costing you, and that you know the knock-on effect onto the higher level measure.

Ned Yost media session: August 13
Sweating bullets
With temperatures peaking in the 100s today, the heat was an unavoidable subject. Like he's done in the past, however, Yost simply shrugged it off by saying the players will need to disregard the weather and do the best they can.
Congrats to Kendall
Catcher Jason Kendall will be recognized before tonight's game for reaching the 2,000 games caught milestone in late July. Yost sang the catcher's praises by describing what a hard worker and mentally tough player he is. According to Yost, Kendall comes to the stadium early every day to watch video and develop a game plan for the starting pitcher.
Goodbye Guillen
Yost also commented on the recent announcement of Jose Guillen's trade to the Giants. The manager said Guillen was a part of the Royals, and he set a good example of what it took to be prepared and play the game the right way.

Magnetic Field of a Helmholtz Coil
Application ID: 15
A Helmholtz coil is a parallel pair of identical circular coils spaced one radius apart and wound so that the current flows through both coils in the same direction. This winding results in a uniform magnetic field between the coils with the primary component parallel to the axes of the two coils.
Applications of Helmholtz coils range from canceling the earth's magnetic field to generating magnetic fields for experiments and applications requiring such. Helmholtz field generation can be static, time-varying DC or AC, depending on the applications.

Sherlock Holmes is most portrayed character in film and TV - world record for London detective
08:50 17 May 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
London has another world record to its name – thanks to super sleuth Sherlock Holmes.
The master detective has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the most portrayed literary human character in film and television.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's creation has been depicted on screen 254 times since his creation in 1887.
That is 48 times more than the next contender - Hamlet.
The first known appearance of the famous consulting detective on screen is believed to be Sherlock Holmes Baffled, a 30-second silent movie made in the United States in the 1890s.
Since then, more than 75 actors have donned the deer stalker and gone out into the London fog from Baker Street to fight crime.
World records adjudicator Claire Burgess said: "Sherlock Holmes is a literary institution. This Guinness World Records title reflects his enduring appeal and demonstrates that his detective talents are as compelling today as they were 125 years ago."
The record is part of World Record London - a campaign by promotional group London and Partners to get the capital more than 20 Guinness World Records in the run-up to the Olympics.

Busy-Being: Limited-Edition, Artisan-Made
Store Profile
- Location: Austin, TX and online
- Specialty: An online store and gallery focusing on limited edition and artisan made products.
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range
- Website: busy-being.com
Store History
- Founded: 2004
- Founded by: Amber Abramson
- Headquarters: Austin, Texas
Busy-Being is a small company, created by me, Amber Abramson in 2004, for all of us busy people who prefer to function from home. No longer a 9-5er, I spend most of my time writing and responding to emails and when I'm not doing that I have been filling up my time working with artists on a few great upcoming (and past) exhibitions, various and / or random projects. The rest of the time I am busy being a mother, a girlfriend, an entrepreneur, a friend, a fan, lover of pets. Most of the product carried on this site is made by friends, associates and other respected artists. As Busy-Being grows, I will carry more exclusive product and more product for the home - where it all begins. I hope you enjoy the site, come back any time! Amber Abramson is a curator from Los Angeles, whom recently relocated to Austin, TX in the summer of 2011. After studying fashion design and product development at the Fashion Institute of San Francisco, she became the gallery director and buyer for fourxfour, a small gallery, book and clothing store in Los Angeles and sister gallery to the 222 Gallery in Philadelphia, PA. The space focused on the work of an international group of young, up and coming, artists. Some years later, Abramson left the gallery and started Busy-Being.com, an online store / gallery focusing on limited edition and artisan made products created by the artists and friends she has worked and continues to work with. In addition to Busy-Being, she has curated over 40 exhibitions for galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Mexico City, including special projects for Nike, inc. She is currently the Associate Director of New Image Art Gallery in Los Angeles, where she has been working side by side (and now from her home in Austin) with owner, Marsea Goldberg since 2007.
Busy-Being's owner Amber Abramson occupies a cute corner of the web and of Austin, and strikes a balance between being an intimate art gallery sprinkled with talented gems as well as a carefully curated store you love to see but hate to visit too often (for fear of spending all your money).
The physical Austin location started as a pop-up shop around the holidays last year, and Busy-Being is officially here to stay. Where it stays is rather adorable: located in a tiny back room of the popular design book store and art gallery Domy Books on the East Side of Austin. Amber might not have a huge inventory, but what she does have packs a mean punch.
From Los Angeles, Amber made a name for herself in the art world running hip art galleries, and is still associate director of the New Image Art Gallery in Los Angeles. Busy-Being started online in 2004 as a place for Amber to sell the amazing work of her friends and those great artists she discovered. After a visit to Austin in 2008, Amber just thought Austin felt right, and finally moved here permanently in 2011.
Having worked with artists for over a decade, she has a long list of talented folks to call on when filling her tiny spot, but she goes with the work of clever artists, talented jewelry makers and a slew of home decor creators. She estimates she represents about 20 designers and artists in the store, and about 50 or so on the website. Everything in the store is handmade by someone she knows, and we think that's just such a lovely thing.
Pop in yourself to discover amazing hand-dyed quilts by Ashley Thayer, Japanese indigo shibori dyed blankets by Lookout & Wonderland, hand-printed table runners, baskets, art by Amber herself, hanging plant holders and more.
For more about Busy-Being visit their store page over at Marketplace.

A few days back we reported on the PS JailBreak Downgrade file leak, and today Hansi of PSXCare.com (linked above) has followed up on some previous work and shared a video of a PS3 downgrading with PS Downgrade and a Beagle 480 USB protocol analyzer.
Download: Test Boot PS3Key.tdc / Service Mode by PSDowngrade.tdc
To quote: PSDowngrade / PS3 JIG USB traffic protocol scan
Use Beagle Data Center Software to read the dumps.
One file is a PS3Key boot, the other is a PSDowngrade boot.
The PSDowngrade is supposed to be encrypted and not "analyzeable" according to a distributor. But maybe something can be learned anyway.
Have fun!

AIA Contract Documents
Application and Certificate for Payment
(with instructions)
These documents provide convenient and complete forms on which the contractor can apply for payment and the architect can certify that payment is due. The forms require the contractor to show the status of the contract sum to date, including the total dollar amount of the work completed and stored to date, the amount of retainage (if any), the total of previous payments, a summary of change orders, and the amount of current payment requested. G703™-1992, Continuation Sheet, breaks the contract sum into portions of the work in accordance with a schedule of values prepared by the contractor as required by the general conditions. (Note: The AIA does not publish a standard schedule of values form.) G702™-1992 serves as both the contractor's application and the architect's certification. Its use can expedite payment and reduce the possibility of error. If the application is properly completed and acceptable to the architect, the architect's signature certifies to the owner that a payment in the amount indicated is due to the contractor. The form also allows the architect to certify an amount different than the amount applied for, with explanation provided by the architect.
