NATO 'Political' Accord Needs Senate Scrutiny
Gaffney, Frank, Jr., Insight on the News
The so-called "Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and the Russian Federation" was unveiled in mid-May in Moscow with much fanfare and declarations that the way now was clear for including several former Soviet-occupied states in Central Europe into the Atlantic alliance. Unfortunately, if we are not careful, this "Founding Act" could become the final act for NATO.
Consider some of the particulars of this agreement:
* As Richard Perle noted recently, the agreement reads like a Soviet document. This is, as the Communists loved to say, "no accident, comrade." After all, the principal author for the Russian side was an unreconstructed apparatchik and longtime KGB operative from the old Soviet Union -- Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov.
* Primakov's fine hand is evident in the mutation of NATO contemplated by this document -- from a freestanding military alliance of democratic states to a "Euro-Atlantic" community with which Russia becomes an "equal partner" in political as well as security matters. The tone is set with the pledge by the two parties to pursue "to the maximum extent possible, where appropriate ... joint decisions and joint action with respect to security issues of common concern."
Moscow will be in a good position to try to enforce this commitment as it always will cochair the new "Permanent Joint Council" created by this accord. The United States, by contrast, only will serve as a cochair on a rotating basis, taking turns with the other 15-plus NATO member states. Since NATO operates by consensus, chances are good that this arrangement will make alliance decision-making more ponderous and problematic than ever.
* In addition, the "Founding Act" explicitly and repeatedly affirms the primacy of multilateral organizations in which Moscow enjoys a de jure or de facto veto, notably the U.N. Security Council and the Organization on Security and Cooperation in Europe, or OSCE. For instance, it declares that "any actions undertaken by the Russian Federation or NATO, together or separately, must be consistent with the U.N. charter and the OSCE's governing principles." While Russia was not much concerned with such principles in its war with Chechnya, it is predictable it will find grounds in this language to oppose or otherwise constrain NATO's planning and freedom of action.
* Concerns on this score further are exacerbated by the myriad institutional arrangements promised by the "Founding Act" agreement. In addition to the Permanent Joint Council, which will be "the principal venue of consultation between NATO and Russia in times of crisis or for any other situation affecting peace and stability," meetings of foreign ministers and of defense ministers will occur twice a year. …

Image Sharpening
The 990 now offers control over the internal sharpening algorithms in the camera, you can choose from Auto Sharpening (different sharpening automatically applied depending on image content - dodgy ground), three levels of sharpening (Normal being about the same as the 950) or no sharpening at all (for the purist photographer in you). The samples below are 100% crops of different sharpening levels for the same scene.
Camera settings: ISO 100, Aperture Priority, Metering: Matrix, F5.7, Focus Locked, White Balance: Cloudy, Measured light: 9 EV.
|Auto Sharpening
|High Sharpening
|Normal Sharpening
|Low Sharpening
|Sharpening Off
For every day shooting I found myself sticking to Normal Sharpening, Auto Sharpening seemed to give very similar results, but again the manual didn't expand on exactly HOW the camera decides what sharpening to use for what scene circumstances.
Digital Zoom
Readers of my reviews will know I'm not a huge fan of digital zoom as it's often a badly implemented and seldom used (by owners) marketing "ploy" to sell cameras which don't have an optical zoom. The 990 does indeed have optical zoom, and has a range of digital zooms which can be used on top of the standard 3x optical zoom. These zooms range from 1.2x to 4.0x in 0.2x steps. They are however simply cropping (selecting the mid part of the image) and sampling-up, the only advantage in doing digital zoom inside the camera is (a) if you don't have any photo software to magnify (and interpolate) the image or (b) to digitally zoom without zooming the JPEG artifacts.
Camera settings: ISO 100, Aperture Priority, Metering: Matrix, F5.7, Focus Locked, Sharpening: Normal, White Balance: Cloudy, Measured light: 9 EV.
|Full Optical Zoom, No Digital Zoom
|Full Optical Zoom, 2x Digital Zoom
|Full Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom
|Full Optical Zoom, Photoshop 2x Bicubic
Here I've included a Photoshop 2x Bicubic sampled image, simply cropped to 1024 x 768 then resampled up to 2048 x 1536, results are almost identical to the 2x Digital Zoomed 990 image, which is pretty good considering how little horsepower their is inside the 990 and how quickly it performs the digital zoom.
Manual Focus
The manual focus on the 990 is much improved from the original 950, now with 50 steps from a Macro-happy 2cm up to Infinity. Add the new "Focus Confirmation" preview sharpen and it's easy to see where the manual focus is (makes detail stand out on the LCD display).
Camera settings: ISO 100, Aperture Priority, Metering: Matrix, F4.0, Sharpening: Normal, White Balance: Cloudy, Measured light: 8 EV.
|Manually focused on foreground
|Manually focused on background
Aperture Priority Mode (A)
Aperture priority is where you designate the aperture and the camera calculates the best shutter speed, if the exposure is outside of the cameras range (either over or under exposing) the aperture will flash on the LCD screen. Used properly Aperture Priority can be invaluable as it has a direct effect on depth of field (the distance in front and behind the focal point which will be in focus when taking the shot). Example of aperture priority (simple example F11.0 produces more depth of field than F4.0) - for more read my digital photography glossary:
Camera settings: ISO 100, Aperture Priority, Metering: Matrix, Focus Locked, Sharpening: Normal, White Balance: Cloudy, Measured light: 8 EV.
|F4.0, 1/11 sec (short depth of field)
|F11.0 1/4 sec (more depth of field)
Shutter Priority Mode (S)
Shutter priority is where you designate the shutter speed and the camera calculates the correct aperture, if the exposure is outside of the cameras range (either over or under exposing) the shutter speed will flash on the LCD screen. The two samples below show two examples of places you may use Shutter Priority. For the image on the left we use it to bring the shutter speed up to 1/1000s while using the flash to freeze these water droplets splashing on a plug. For more read my digital photography glossary:
|[another example to come]
|ISO 100, Shutter
Priority, Metering: Matrix, AF, Sharpening: Normal, WB: Flash, Flash
On, Flash Comp: -0.3 EV
Exposure: 1/1000s, F5.6
Manual Mode (M)
The 990 now includes a full manual mode, in this mode you have complete control over the exposure system, you can define both the shutter speed and aperture setting (press MODE to switch between each). In Manual Mode you also have access to Bulb shutter speed (shutter stays open for as long as you hold the shutter release button).
When setting the exposure in Manual mode a meter like this is is displayed on the LCD viewfinder (value repeated on the top Control Panel as a value) indicating the amount of over or underexposure with the selected settings.

So, therefore I wanted to know a step by step method on how to create the Recovery Disk. The hard disk that I have has a hidden partition of 7.8gb with EISA Configuration but when checked in disk managements then it displays 100% is free. Thanks for any information.

I recently ran a freeware registry cleaner program because my laptop was running slow even after defragmantation. After I did this, I started getting spoolsv.exe ("Oxffbadd11 referenced memory @ Oxffbadd11. The memory could not be read") and svchost.exe ("Ox7c911629 referenced memory @ Oxoo720065. Memory could not be written") application error messages and had to click OK to turn them off. The computer is now terribly slow, the internet will not connect and my DVD rom drive will not start up. CPU usage is at an acceptable level so I know that is not the problem for the lack of speed.
I'm slightly over novice level at this, but not much. Any step- by-steps for me?

Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorders
Topic Overview
Once know as pervasive developmental disorders, autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is an umbrella term used to define a class of disorders.
Disorders that are included in this class are:
Until recently, people were diagnosed with one of the types of ASD. For example, a person was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome. Now, the diagnosis of ASD is used, and the severity of the condition is noted.
Some children do not meet the diagnostic criteria for an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) but still may have developmental and behavioural problems that are similar to those found in ASDs. These problems include abnormal sensitivities and unusual behavioural responses to certain situations. In these cases, a diagnosis of unspecified neurodevelopmental disorder may be used.
Children with (ASDs) have difficulty in areas of social and emotional development, including:
- Developing relationships with other people, including their parents and children their own age.
- Communicating with other people.
- Having unusual behaviours and interests.
The severity of an ASD varies by individual. Severely affected children are unable to function without significant help from parents and other caregivers. Other children are mildly affected and can develop adequate skills to lead independent lives as adults. Many children are affected at levels somewhere between these two extremes.
Autism spectrum disorders are present at birth. But the signs of these disorders may not be noticed until later, usually during the first 3 years of a child's life.

Synagogue Destroyed in Kristallnacht to be Rebuilt
More than six decades after Nazi forces and sympathizers destroyed the New Synagogue of Konigsberg during the Kristallnacht series of pogroms, the Jewish community will rebuild the 1896 edifice.
More than six decades after Nazi forces and their sympathizers destroyed the New Synagogue of Konigsberg during the Kristallnacht series of pogroms in November 1938, Jewish residents of the renamed city of Kaliningrad are planning to rebuild the 1896 edifice on the same spot where it once stood.
Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi David Shvedik, the Russian city�s chief rabbi, estimates that it will take two years to build the new facility, and he already has plans to add a school, nursery and community center to the completed structure.
And while city officials view the project in terms of granting the Jewish community a permanent place to pray and meet, locals such as Oxana Leschinskaya stress that for them, the synagogue means much more.
�An integral part of Jewish heritage has been passed to us by previous generations,� said Leschinskaya, 27. �This is a new stage in the revival and development of Jewish life in our region.�
Shvedik notes that the whole community is coming together to make the dream a reality. The current leased basement used by the community can only accommodate 500 people, he says, but the new synagogue will be able to serve 2,000.
�Everyone here wants to build,� says the rabbi. �And thank G-d, everyone is helping.�
The new synagogue will be built at the site of the one destroyed during Kristallnacht in 1938.
Judging by the turnout at a recent groundbreaking ceremony � which was attended by Mayor Alexander Yaroshuk and other representatives of federal and municipal authorities, diplomats and prominent public figures � the project enjoys support from the highest levels of local government.
According to Leschinskaya, a frequent attendee of Shvedik�s weekly STARS class for young professionals, the ceremony made a huge impact on the community�s older members.
�For many people who remember the old Jewish communities destroyed in the Holocaust, the event filled their lives with meaning,� explains the woman, who heads a local water company�s social service department. �They want to live up to the time when they will be able to pray in the new synagogue.�
Although a circus currently occupies the space where the synagogue will be built, Shvedik is optimistic that the new building will rise fairly quickly.
�This new house of worship and community center,� he says, �will undoubtedly become the center of Jewish life in our city and region.�

You are not connected to Gandalfwant to grow your network?
"The closest thing to true communication between two human beings is story-telling, for despite his best efforts at concealment, a writer will inevitably reveal in his story the world he believes he lives in, and the participatory reader will forever after carry around in himself and as himself a memory that was partly controlled by that other human being. Such memories are not neatly sorted into fiction and real life in our minds. I know, of course, that I never stood at the Cracks of Doom and watched Gollum die. But that faith in the distinction between my own actions and the actions of fictional characters is merely another story I tell myself. In fact, my memory of that event is much clearer and more powerful than my memory of my fifth birthday."

Senator Ted Kennedy Eulogized, Laid to Rest: Clips
UPDATED: Arlington clips added.
Four U.S. presidents (the elder Bush did not attend) and hundreds of the nation's political leaders gathered at the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Boston this morning to bid good-bye to Senator Edward Kennedy before his body was flown to Washington to pay a visit to the U.S. Capitol (above) before being buried in Arlington National Cemetery next to his brothers.
A selection of video clips from the funeral and journey to Arlington, can be found at the above link.

Please light a passing candle for Senator Ted Kennedy. Last of the four Kennedy brothers, and next to the last of nine siblings, he lost his battle with brain cancer today. He has been called both 'the lion of the senate' and also 'the last lion of the senate'. He will be missed.

Daniel Radcliffe Helps Save Gay Youth, Offers Major Donation to Suicide-Prevention Group The Trevor Project
www.towleroad.com/2009/08/d...or-pr.htmlMon, August 10, 2009 - 11:57 PM permalink - 0 comments
Harry Potter and Equus star Daniel Radcliffe has made a major donation to The Trevor Project, the non-profit organization that operates the only nationwide suicide-prevention helpline for LGBTQ youth, the group announced today:
Radcliffe "The 20-year-old actor joined The Trevor Project's Circle of Hope, a community of major donors which plays an essential role in providing the financial leadership that makes the organization's lifesaving work possible."
Said Radcliffe: "I am very pleased to begin my support of The Trevor Project, which saves lives every day through its critical work. It's extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people, and it's truly devastating to learn that LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers. I deeply hope my support can raise the organization's visibility so even more despondent youth become aware of The Trevor Helpline's highly trained counselors and Trevor's many other resources. It's vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value."
Said Charles Robbins, executive director and CEO of The Trevor Project: "We're incredibly grateful to Daniel for his truly inspiring and historic generosity and support. He is setting a meaningful example for millions of young people around the world by embracing diversity and demonstrating that he cares deeply about the well-being of LGBTQ youth."

Teaching is an incredible profession, but unknown by many is how little time for reading teachers have during the school year. Yes, we read textbooks, student essays, exams, and primary material related to our fields of study, but that excludes so many books that we wish we had time to read.
So, many teachers' summers begin with digging out the list, constructed over the school year, of books we now can read for pleasure or personal enrichment. Science teachers may read fiction, teachers of literature may read books on brain theory, and religious studies professors may read military history.
My first choice for summer reading this year was affected by the fires out west that began even before the school year was over. I felt a need to reread a book that I had first read over a decade before, a true story of a Montana fire that had a tragic conclusion.
I came upon this book initially by accident. I had read Norman Maclean's "A River Runs Through It" years before the movie version appeared, and I had appreciated Maclean's ability to write a book about fly-fishing, tragedy in an American family (the author's own) and the emotional life of American men. I still consider this book the best I know in describing how men, who rightly consider themselves strong, are shaped by grief and regret—all handled by Maclean without an ounce of sentimentality.
Out of curiosity, I learned that Maclean had not begun writing until retiring from the faculty at the University of Chicago. I also learned that he had followed "A River Runs Through It" with a non-fiction book, "Young Men and Fire."
I read "Young Men and Fire" the first time more than a decade ago because I wanted to hear the writing voice of Norman Maclean again. I read the book a second time this summer because I wanted to understand more about fires, particularly those in the west that seemed so destructive and so hard to control.
"Young Men and Fire" is non-fiction, but it is also a detective story. The mystery that Maclean is seeking to solve is how 13 of Montana's finest firefighters, smokejumpers or those who parachute in to fight fires, lost their lives in a matter of minutes in Mann Gulch in the summer of 1949.
By the mid to late 1970s, when Maclean wrote most of the book, he knew that the Mann Gulch fire had changed the way forest fires were fought in this country. But Maclean was troubled that we still didn't understand how it was that these 13 men, elite young men, the hotshots of their day, had perished so quickly in that gulch.
Maclean felt that humanity owed these men and their families an explanation for what had happened; what the men could have done, if anything, to save their lives; and why they didn't do that.
Maclean had the proper background to investigate this tragedy. As a young man, he had worked for the U.S. Forestry Service and, in that capacity, had done some firefighting. And he knew from personal experience what it was like to try to outrun a fire.
I was about halfway through this second reading of "Young Men and Fire" when I heard the tragic news of the Yarnell fire, the fire that took the lives of 19 firefighters. As I read the newspaper accounts of this recent fire and then returned to Maclean's book, I had the eerie feeling that I was reading different versions of the same story.
Both stories are based on the tragic intersection of other, smaller stories. There are the stories of the young men themselves and these two truths about them: that they were the best at what they did, and that they were not reckless. This was true of the victims of the Mann Gulch fire and is true of the victims of the Yarnell fire.
There is also the complex story of fire itself, what we know about fire, and what we still do not understand. Firefighters know that fires can act like living beasts, planning, changing course, and sending out advance fires. As one New York firefighter put it, fire is the devil, and that devil is devious.
And there are other inner stories to contend with. There is the story of wind, of temperatures, of drought, and how thunderstorms passing over a fire can enrage that beast. There is also the story of the terrain and the burn tendencies of certain trees, shrubs, and grass.
As we seek to understand how fire took the lives of the 19 in Arizona, it is worth remembering something Maclean wrote back in the 1970s — that our ancestors had been fighting fires long before they ever learned how to use it safely. Fire, then, has been one of our species' most ancient enemies.
And it is worth noticing the publication date of "Young Men and Fire." Although written in the 1970s, the manuscript was still unfinished when Maclean died in 1990.
Humanity cannot help but desire to understand the laws of nature, but nature may remain one of the ultimate mysteries, not always caring about the laws that we've discovered.

Killer to receive mental treatment
Sallisaw shootings: Appeals court rules
SALLISAW — The attorney for convicted killer Daniel Hawke Fears said a ruling by the state Court of Criminal Appeals means his client now will receive needed treatment. "His family is relieved," attorney Rob Nigh said. The court ruled Monday its earlier decision was correct to overturn Fears' murder convictions in favor of a ruling of not guilty by reason of insanity. Fears was an 18-year-old Sallisaw High School senior when he went on a 20-minute shooting spree on Oct. 26, 2002, after a neighbor criticized his driving as reckless. Law enforcement authorities say he broke into his father's house, stole his gun and started shooting nearly everyone he encountered. He was convicted in 2004 on two counts of first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of Sallisaw resident Patsy Sue Wells, 61, and Reba Spangler, 68, of Fort Smith, Ark. A hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Sequoyah County District Court. There is not much to dispute what can happen at the hearing, Nigh said. Fears, who was diagnosed as a schizophrenic, will be transported to a state mental hospital, he said. The next step will be a review hearing in 45 days, Nigh said. "If it is determined that he (Fears) is dangerous to himself or the community, or in continued need of supervision, he will stay at the hospital," Nigh said. Nigh did say there was a "reasonable possibility" Fears may be released from the hospital, but not soon. Fears also was convicted on eight counts of shooting with intent to kill, five counts of discharging a firearm from a vehicle and one count each of pointing a firearm and discharging a firearm with intent to kill. Appeals court Vice Presiding Judge Gary Lumpkin, in a dissenting opinion, accused his colleagues of acting like "philosopher kings" in substituting their own finding for those of the jury. The court denied a request by Oklahoma Attorney General Drew Edmondson that the justices rehear the reversal of the jury's verdict. The court agreed earlier to delay the transfer to a mental institution while it considered Edmondson's motion. In the ruling filed Friday, the court's majority decided that Edmondson was wrong in his argument that the case should go back to a jury of Fears' peers. "The state mistakenly suggests that this court does not have the authority to reach its decision," read the majority opinion reached by Judges Charles Chapel, Charles Johnson and David Lewis. "Because double jeopardy prohibits a second trial after an appellate court has found the evidence legally insufficient to support a conviction, the remedy is reversal with instructions to dismiss," the ruling added. Lumpkin, siding against the majority, declared in his opinion that the new verdict revealed "unbridled discretion" by the appeals court. Judge Arlene Johnson also dissented in the 3-2 vote.

2014 Kids' Choice Awards Nominees Announced: One Direction, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry + More
The Kids' Choice Awards nominees are in -- and we're so excited. Are your favorites nominated? Read on to find out.

In her March Vogue cover, Rihanna admitted to wearing gobs of cheap jewelry, specifically from mall retailer Claire's, saying, "My jewelry's all fake—from Claire's." Well, it looks like RiRi will continue to wear pieces from the teenybopper store, as her bestie Katy Perry is now designing and creating a line of jewelry for Claire's.
Miley Cyrus kissed a girl at the Los Angeles stop of her Bangerz Tour on Feb. 22, but we we're not sure the girl in question was ready for it! Katy Perry was the recipient of the smooch, and judging by the video posted above, she was slightly taken aback when Cyrus laid one on her. Maybe Miley tried to slip her some tongue?
Katy Perry and Rita Ora are two of the most stylish pop stars of their generation and they each do so much more than sing. They showed off their catwalk talents by making cameos on the Moschino Runway in Milan on Feb. 20.
Katy Perry is a queen of many wigs in her 'Dark Horse' video, which has an Egyptian them, look, vibe and feel. Perry even channels Cleopatra aka Katy-Patra with her makeup and attire, but she is modernized with a grill.
Katy Perry brought out her new Katy-Patra alter ego at the 2014 BRIT Awards tonight (Feb. 19), rocking a blunt bob and bangs with a crew of neon-haired dancers on either side.
The 2014 ELLE Style Awards took place in London last night (Feb. 18), with Katy Perry nabbing the Woman of the Year honor and doing so in a floral Vivienne Westwood frock. Fellow singers Ellie Goulding and Lily Allen were there, as was actress Emma Watson.
A few months ago, an insider said that a Katy Perry and John Mayer engagement was inevitable and that they were on that path. Did they finally become betrothed?
Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' video is on its way, debuting on Feb 20. She showed off her new persona in the preview, dubbed "Katy-Patra."
A major rite of passage in life is losing one's virginity. It's like a first impression; you only get one chance with it.

Quickie Supergirl by micQuestionWatch
©2013-2016 micQuestion
Here's how I'd draw Supergirl. I fixed her shield maxi pad by turning it into actual trunks. Also gave her leggings to cover up her shame that is her exposed knees. I finally accept the haircut.
Hope y'all don't mind the tweaks!
Hope y'all don't mind the tweaks!
Not bad, but if your gonna do the leggings like that you might as well just cover up everything and make it similar to the classis Superman suit
Thanks, Joseph! I considered that early on, but opted not to because I would've had to remove the trunks completely (not a fan of undies over pants) and redesigned her from the waist down and knees up. I didn't wanna deviate that far from her current established look and decided to just add to it.
I do like a few elements of the New52 costume, such as the cape, the seams and the new hairdo, but the ones you don't like are also the ones I don't like, especially the red pad. So I really like the trunks! Only tweak I don't like is the attachment of the cape to the shield, I've never been fond of that. But this is a cool re-design I also love the commanding pose you've put her in!
Thanks so much, friend! In hindsight, I should've went without those cape attachments. I liked them from Jim Lee's preliminary design because I hadn't seen them used by other artists, but now I see why and think they're unnecessary. I would exclude them if I drew her again. Good call. We are in full agreement.

Great HTIB Setup
This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: -Fantastic Receiver
Cons: -This badboy gets H-O-T! I put together an adjustable fan to slap on the back right corner where the heat radiates most (HDMI inputs)
Other Thoughts: Great first time unit for me. The receiver was what I was really wanting after doing all of my research, and getting a quickie speaker set along with it was nice.

Go for it!!
This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: I have had a few systems that I have put together and I am an audiophile, this HTIB sounded great the manual is useful and is easy to understand. the system sets up good out of the box. Used the included Audyssey mic to set it up and I did have to tweek it after that but nothing major. I didn't set up 2 speakers do to the shape of the living room it is in but it still sounds amazing. happy to have the tower front speakers(worth the extra IMO) it really does a lot for acoustics. i recommend upgrading the speaker cable as well like other reviewers mention. the OEM wire will work in a pinch but upgrade when you can. I like that I can assign names to the different channels and set up individual settings and save them individually. also when switching from channel to channel the volume is reduced to min value so you don't blow you speakers when going from a movie to say the radio.
Cons: The unit does run hot. I got two 240mm fans to help move the air and it has helped immensely. I wish Audyssey set up better but it's auto set up what can you expect we all have different tastes.
Other Thoughts: Overall I am please to have the system. I am cracking one egg due to the heat mainly because I believe the unit should have fans built into it considering the temps when running. but if you can spare the money for the fans or have a WELL ventilated placement for the unit , GO FOR IT!

Best in a box.
This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: This Onkyo home theater system is an unbeatable system you can find in a box. If you picked and chose each component you might not appreciate the astetics of the surround speakers until you power them up. A very worthy investment. I would suggest purchasing this system before Onkyo realize they have underpriced this home theater system.
Cons: Surround speakers appearance is at best mediocre...

Great Quality for the Money
This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: Easy setup, good soundstage, well balanced system. You can't beat this system for the money. I spent a long time researching trying to decide whether I wanted to fuss with a custom built system or one of the HTIB. This system is really only a HTIB because it is one huge box. You can purchase all of the components separately (for a little more cost, especially if you count in the cost of the iPod dock). Set up was a breaze and with every speaker labeled as to what position it should be in and every wire custom colored for that spot. the autotune system with the included mic was easy and did a great job of balancing the speakers.
Cons: Cheap speaker wire, Sping clips connector for speakers. 10" sub could use a little more thump. Would be nice if the iPod dock allowed for on-screen display and control, you can watch videos but it's easier to use the iPod itself to navigate your videos and music.

Great system!
This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: Packaged very well, and an overall great looking system. The setup was very simple overall, the wires that come with the system are all color coded if you end up using them. They are pretty thin wires, but as of right now I am using them without issue. I will be buying something thicker in the future. It sounds absolutely awesome, and has a ton of features. Being able to take any source and put it through every speaker is very nice. Music sounds great because of the all ch. stereo mode. The onscreen setup was also very nice, it made customizing things very easy. The receiver looks pretty nice and works perfectly with my logitech harmony remote. I currently have a PS3, 360, and my computer hooked up to this receiver. That all goes to my 46" TV. 5.1 and 7.1 are awesome, it works very well and you can tell where the sound is coming from. The speakers don't drown eachother out.
Cons: THE BOX!!!! It's BIIIIG. It's like a very large mini fridge. A very very large mini fridge. My box arrived and pretty decent condition, just a few tears around the "handles" because people would drag the box by them, but that's no big deal. The whole box was dusty though, and the UPS guy said it's because nobody could move it so it probably sat in a warehouse forever. Definitely quite interesting to unpackage the whole thing.
Other Thoughts: So far I have no regrets, this system is just awesome. It does everything I want, and then more that I wasn't even expecting.

This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: Nice sound for a box set up. TV, Movies, Music all sound very good. 600 with shipping was a great price for what this box has to offer. I would recommend to someone who is looking to enhance their TV, but doesn't want to spend 4K doing it. Remote is easy and commands all (TV, Cable, blu-ray) with ease.
Cons: Speaker wire. Get a better gauge. Not Sirius/XM ready. Runs a bit hot.
Other Thoughts: I have two kids and not a great deal of extra funds to dedicate to blistering sound. This system fit my needs well with a solid, well built unit. Decent quality for the money. First purchase from Newegg could not be better. Shipped very, very quickly for the extra 2$ option (couple of days). Price on Newegg was 2-3 hundred less than others. Do not fear - they delivered what was advertised.

Onkyo HT-S7200 and Newegg
This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: Great home theater system - just connected it to an epson 8500 projector and its sound is incredible - great value for the money. The ipod dock is a nice added feature.
Cons: a bit bulky

This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: I dont want to burn any time. This thing is amazing and supports so much. Speakers sound fantastic. Onscreen configuration is WAY nicer then lcd configuration. Logitech univeral remote works great with it. A must have for any movie lovers.
Cons: No WMA Pro support -- not sure if that sucks or not, but why not?
Other Thoughts: 120" Movie screen / 1080p projector -- all HMDI inputs (HTPC, Sony Bluray, Xbox 360). I get Master Audio DTS via my HTPC via HDMI (Im not sure why, but the sony bluray doesnt even output that stream).

Excellent Buy!
This review is from: ONKYO HT-S7200 7.1-Channel Black Home Theater System
Pros: Receiver is very nice. Upconverts to 1080i. The package as a whole is nice. Color coded wiring to the color coded speakers. Everything was clearly defined and was able to put together with ease. The on-screen programming/set up screen made things a LOT easier.
Cons: Wish that one could select the music from the iPod through the remote and TV.

This article examines the role of similarity in the hybridization of concepts, focusing on hybrid products as an applied test case. Hybrid concepts found in natural language, such as singer songwriter, typically combine similar concepts, whereas dissimilar concepts rarely form hybrids. The hybridization of dissimilar concepts in products such as jogging shoe mp3 player and refrigerator TV thus poses a challenge for understanding the process of conceptual combination. It is proposed that models of conceptual combination can throw light on the judged future success and desirability of hybrid products in general. The composite prototype model proposes two stages of conceptual combination. In the first stage, the concepts are aggregated into an additive hybrid, simply by forming the union of the two sets of attributes. In the second stage, any conflicting attributes are identified and resolved, often with the introduction of emergent attributes, resulting in an integrative hybrid. Across four studies that varied the similarity and type of hybrid products, similar and integrative hybrids were valued more than dissimilar and additive hybrids. Critically, though, dissimilar hybrids were also highly valued if they were integrative. Results supported the two stages proposed by the composite prototype model, and implications for other models of hybrid formation are discussed.

There are times when life's circumstances seem to test the limits of our faith. Every seeming challenge has the seed of opportunity to practice faith at a deeper level. We will discover that in order to overcome obstacles, the solution is found in the silence.
When we become centered in the presence of the living God, our faith cooperates with the manifestation of prosperity in all areas of our lives. Each day, God reveals new ways to increase and use our unlimited gifts, talents and abilities, creating solutions to every seeming challenge.
As we pray for healing—for ourselves or for a loved one—our faith in God's wisdom, strength and love fortifies our prayers with spiritual illumination and brings us back to wholeness.
Through the spirit of the living Christ within, our minds and bodies express health and wholeness.
Abundant blessings,
Rev. Lori

AUSTIN, Texas – Texas athletic director Steve Patterson says no decision has been made about the future of Longhorns coach Mack Brown.
Texas released a statement by Patterson several hours after Orangebloods.com reported, citing two unidentified sources, Brown will announce he is stepping down by week's end.
"We continue to discuss the future of Texas Football," Patterson said. "Mack Brown has not resigned. And, no decisions have been made."
Joe Jamail, Brown's longtime friend and attorney, told The Associated Press: "Mack Brown has not resigned."

Jamail said Brown's future with Texas is still up to the coach.
Brown told the Austin American-Statesman he was recruiting in Florida.
Brown texted to 247sports.com: "If I had decided to step down, I sure wouldn't be killing myself down here. I have not decided to step down."
Texas has completed another regular season that didn't meet expectations. The Longhorns went 8-4, recovering from a 1-2 start and beating Oklahoma, but finishing with lopsided late-season losses to Oklahoma State and Baylor.
Texas plays Oregon (10-2) in the Dec. 30 Alamo Bowl in San Antonio.
There was speculation about Brown's future in Austin before the season started, and it became rampant after blowout losses to Brigham Young and Mississippi in September.
Brown fired defensive coordinator Manny Diaz after the BYU loss and replaced him with Greg Robinson. The move seemed to help. The Longhorns played better, and the season peaked with a 36-20 victory against rival Oklahoma in October.
The future of a powerful ally of Brown's could be decided later this week.
The University of Texas System Board of Regents is meeting Thursday and is scheduled to discuss and possibly vote on whether Bill Powers will remain the university president.
Powers has had a tenuous relationship with the board for several years and is believed to have a slim majority of support among the nine members.
No decision on Brown was expected to come until after Powers' future at Texas was determined.
Brown is 158-47 at Texas, including a national championship in 2005 and another BCS title-game appearance in 2009. Since that season, the Longhorns are 30-20 and 18-17 in the Big 12.
If there is an opening at Texas, there is likely to be more speculation about Alabama coach Nick Saban replacing Brown.
• Authorities have released video of standout defensive end Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina being ticketed, with troopers saying he drove 110 mph in a 70 mph zone Saturday north of Columbia.
Video obtained by The Associated Press shows Clowney being pulled over in a Chrysler 300. Radioing in the call, the trooper identifies the driver only as "Clowney."
Clowney, who remains in the car, is barely audible on the seven-minute recording. The ticket carries a $355 fine. A copy obtained by AP shows Clowney has a Jan. 9 court date; the trooper told him he didn't have to appear.

This is Viking's Desert Goodbye Party Before Launching to Mars
Doctor Carl Sagan and the Viking lander in the desert. What more could you possibly want?!
Doctor Carl Sagan and the Viking lander in the desert. What more could you possibly want?!
We've seen how New York City might appear were it suddenly transported to another planet, but what would, say, Manhattan look like if it were transplanted somewhere else right here on Earth – Death Valley, for instance, or the Grand Canyon? Well... it would look something like this.
Okay, stop what you're doing and hit the play button on this unspeakably beautiful new time-lapse video filmed last month in Death Valley.
Here are some things that might make this week's television worth watching, in spite of the Thanksgiving lull: 1) Donald Glover playing an animated rapper named Alpha Dog. 2) A brutal look at how astronauts might survive crash-landing on Mars. 3) Two new Adventure Time episodes! 4) Lady Gaga takes over Thanksgiving!…
As the fall TV season starts to lurch to a halt, many of your favorite series are ramping up to a thunderous conclusion. The big mysteries on Fringe are thickening, and a new Walking Dead clip will just increase your apprehension about what's to come. Meanwhile, just how far will General Krell's troops go on Star…
This week sees the launch of two exciting new television shows. Green Lantern gets an animated adventure show from the guy who helped put DC animation on the map. Meanwhile, Sir Ridley Scott explores the history of science fiction. Plus Primeval returns to American TV! And Terra Nova does something unutterably cool…
It's November sweeps, which means the shocking twists are coming fast and furious on your favorite TV shows — including a terrible decision on The Walking Dead, and some uncanny twists on Fringe. But meanwhile, Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer is guest-starring in the worst piece of television you'll ever see. Ever
It's not just Walking Dead rocking the zombie scares this week. Instead, there's a zombie outbreak on Adventure Time, plus the truth about aliens and the undead. Max Brooks and friends explain the history of zombies, and Ving Rhames fights a zombie apocalypse. Basically, it's wall-to-wall zombies!
This week on television, Robot Chicken returns. And two Lost writers take us to a fairytale land with Once Upon a Time. There's one new Marvel superhero show, plus the return of another. Two Buffy stars reunite on Supernatural. And there's gorgeous new evidence of possible life on other planets!
The Walking Dead returns to your screens with twice as many episodes as last year — and it sounds as though the road is going to be a very dangerous place this time around. Meanwhile, Malcolm McDowell and Faran Tahir both have some pretty bizarre cameos. The Matrix may provide the key to a major mystery on Fringe.
This week on television, the creators of Glee and Nip/Tuck pay homage to The Shining and Rosemary's Baby with American Horror Story. Syfy has the season finale of Warehouse 13 and the season premiere of Sanctuary.Here are three clips from the episode:
Doctor Who ends its sixth season with a bang this weekend — but can the Doctor possibly survive? Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg's Terra Nova plunges the Shannon family into a prehistoric jungle of death.
The fall season is in full swing this week, with tons of TV shows returning — including the season premieres of Fringe, The Big Bang Theory, Community, Supernatural and several other shows. But there are also a number of series premieres, including Person of Interest, the creepy new show from Jonathan Nolan and J.J.…
Your favorite fish-faced Star Wars creature is living large, in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Captain Ackbar plays a key role in the new battle-heavy season opener. And we've got a thrilling new clip from the episode!Here's a second clip:
Lance Henriksen says he won't be back as his Aliens character Bishop for Prometheus...but he has another science fiction revival in mind. Chuck will feature a Community cameo. Plus more Man of Steel set photos, and new art and a new featurette for The Avengers!
Last night MTV premiered its supernatual cop show Death Valley in which a camera crew follows an Undead Task Force as they try and clean up the streets from zombies vampires and werewolves. This is the funniest moment.
Alfonso Cuarón is doing his best Stanley Kubrick impression in his stranded astronaut epic Gravity. David Tennant discusses his sleazy, vampire-fighting magician in Fright Night. Plus why Conan the Barbarian had to be R-rated — and Jean-Claude Van Damme fights aliens!

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

Use the Compass to find a wide range of activities and networking opportunities that match up with your skills, interests, and career goals. Each set of activities is divided into five main categories: professional organizations, events and training, education and certifications, independent learning, and on-the-job activities.
Expand your knowledge in your field and take the next step on your leadership journey!
Professional Organizations: Joining a professional organization provides excellent networking opportunities and the ability to stay current on trends and information in your field. Many of these organizations also provide development activities and additional resources for their members.
Events and Training: Attending conferences, events, or training can help you to expand your skills or knowledge in different areas of your job. These activities often focus on one specific topic in your field so you can apply this information to your everyday responsibilities.
Education and Certifications*: Getting a degree or a certification in your field is a great way to learn in a structured environment and boost your credentials. Taking individual courses in your career field is another way to advance your professional growth.
Independent Learning: Independent learning activities provide you with flexible options to focus on your professional growth. These activities can be as simple as reading an article on a subject in your field or joining a professional organization's social media group to stay up-to-date on information.
On-the-job activities: A significant part of your career development occurs on-the-job. There are many skill-building activities that you can incorporate into your work, including mentoring, job shadowing, conducting informational interviews, networking, and soliciting feedback.

The alignment is off, but it only happens every few pages. I now print one page at a time to make sure things are going as they should. for example, (i just did this):
i print one page, #1, and it's fine. i print another page, #2, and its fine. and another, #3, is fine. and then suddenly the next one is misaligned #4. It prints too high. then i print another and it still prints too high, #5. i print another (and all this is w/out changing any settings or reloading paper) and it's back to being aligned #6. I can't figure out what is going on. I usually end up wasting 1/3 to 1/4 of my sheets. and i would like to switch from avery.
I also use the label 8195, which is white. it has this problem but not nearly as bad. I get about twice as many misalignments with the 18660. maybe it has something with the different in the labels being clear, instead of white. any suggestions before I switch from Avery to another brand?

wasted a whole box of labels - even tried working with "expert" during chat and then they just dumped me after giving me bad info. Soooooooo frustrating. If you buy labels and it tells you to use a particular template then why wouldn't it just print right. I did everything it instructed me to do and even the advice the "expert" gave me didn't work.

This review is from Easy Peel Clear Return Address Labels 15695:
These labels smug so much I waste half the labels just trying to get enough for my job. They are not cheap; and I had to go to another brand just to get my job done on time. I will never buy them again! I thought Avery had better products that this... One of my suggestions is don't make it a pop-up edge. When you try to peel it off, you just smug it more. Perhaps a thicker film.

This review is from Avery Clear Easy Peel Return Address Labels for Laser Printers (80 labels per sheet) 15667:
Every time I print on these, the ink smears. I tried letting the labels just sit for a full day and they still smeared when I ran a finger lightly over the words. Not good for using with items that are handled often or even if you want to press on them to make sure they are sticking to the item.

I'm a Ham Radio operator and needed a label to add to a card for a special event I'm doing in June. These clear label's did the trick. Thanks for such a great product.

How to manage local vs production settings in Django?
I have managed to deploy successfully a Django project on Apache's Web Server with
I would like some recommendations on how to manage multiple
settings.py files. Right now I have one for development and one totally different for production (regarding DB parameters, static content localization, and stuff like that). My
settings.py file is versioned (don't know if this is a good practise) and I deploy it with something like:
$ hg archive myproject.tbz2
$ cd /path/of/apache/web/project/location
$ bzip2 -db /home/myself/myproject/myproject.tbz2 | tar -xvf -
It's working OK. But I find myself manipulating multiple
settings.py files.
I guess my question is: what are the best practices when deploying DJANGO PROJECTS regarding multiple
settings.py file versions?

"Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah" Top 5 Page for this destination Kota Baharu Things to Do Tip by muddybok
Kota Baharu Things to Do: 32 reviews and 40 photos
I was drawn to this city after hearing some great reports on great photographic themes here (Pasar Besar Siti Khadijah). This is a covered market place, but having the same theme and atmosphere like some of those Pasar Tani in many part of Malaysia.
You can find lots of colors in clustered manner, such as red chillis, green veggies, eggs, carrots, petai, chilli source, even turtle eggs which make up a very interesting photographic subject.
You also notice sellers are patiently waiting for customers to check out their products and they don't mind at all when my camera lens keep zooming in and out on their products and their expressions.
Go there in the morning because by lunchtime the activities would have slowed down.
