Emerald Evening by StevenDavisPhotoWatch

Sunset over Emerald Bay, Lake Tahoe. The clouds were amazing, along with the color. This was an easy spot to get to. You just stop along the highway at a turnout. I had the tripod all set up with the heater running in the car.

text: I had to post it since I use to read this as a teenager (yes I am odd) my dad have a sub so i read them all the time NEW YORK (Reuters) - Reader's Digest Association Inc, whose namesake magazine has been a staple of dentists' offices for generations, said on Monday it planned to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for its U.S. businesses as part of a prearranged plan with lenders to cut debt by 75 percent. The media company, known worldwide for its family magazine filled with general-interest and inspirational stories, has been trying to cut costs since it was bought in 2007 by an investor group led by Ripplewood Holdings LLC. The bankruptcy would take the form of a so-called prearranged filing, which comes after a company has already reached deals with lenders to reduce debt. The deal, if approved by a bankruptcy court, would allow Reader's Digest to slash its debt load to $550 million, from the current $2.2 billion. The arrangement would also allow the company to reduce its annual interest payments on remaining debt to less than $80 million from about $145 million, said President and Chief Executive Officer Mary Berner in an interview. "Our deal has already been negotiated and hammered out with a majority of our creditors," said Berner. he arrangement "doesn't affect our employees, it doesn't affect the vast majority of vendors, it doesn't mean we'll do mass layoffs, it doesn't mean we're going to be selling off assets. It's business as usual." The company expects to file its petition in bankruptcy court within 15 days, said Chief Financial Officer Thomas Williams. The Chapter 11 filing will apply only to the company's U.S. businesses. Operations in Canada, Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia-New Zealand will not be affected. Reader's Digest, based in Pleasantville, New York, has said it is the largest selling magazine in the world. It has offices on 45 countries and sells books, magazines, recorded music collections and home videos. Among other offerings, it also publishes food magazine Every Day with Rachael Ray. Reader's Digest has become the latest media company to be hurt by an economic slowdown that has hampered companies' abilities to repay debt. Print media organizations have struggled to pay down debt over the past year as the U.S. economic recession has cut ad spending and readers have flocked to Internet sites for free news. Newspaper publisher Tribune Co is among companies that have filed for bankruptcy. "I don't think this (announcement) is unexpected," said Stephanie Wickouski, co-vice chair of the corporate restructuring group for law firm Drinker Biddle. "All print media is under tremendous stress right now. The telecom revolution and the appeal of Internet news has put anything in print under tremendous stress." DEBT RESTRUCTURING Under the plan, the company will work with lenders to swap a portion of its $1.6 billion in senior secured debt for equity, and transfer company ownership to the lender group. The agreement, which is subject to court approval, also includes a commitment from some members of the senior lender group to provide $150 million in debtor-in-possession financing, which would help fund operations during the reorganization. JPMorgan Chase will lead a team of lenders offering DIP financing, said Williams. Other lenders include GE Capital and Eaton Vance, among others.

"Marriage in a Foreign Land" Top 5 Page for this destination Tashkent by heplion
Tashkent Travel Guide: 54 reviews and 273 photos
My primary reason for visiting Tashkent was to marry my girlfriend of the last year. It was a rather surrealistic event. She left Moscow for Tashkent several weeks before me to begin the beaurocratic process of marrying an American in Uzekistan. I arrived two weeks later and we were given a wedding date on my birthday! What a great present! I got a new wife and a new 5 year old son! Weddings work a little bit different in Uzbekistan, as well as all of the CIS countries I expect. The way it is supposed to work is that you got the local marriage palace (ZAGS) and submit your paperwork and they give you a wedding date about 32 days later. In our case I only had a two week window to be away from work, so we paid a "little" extra money and got a date in about a week. Her parents were able to join us at the wedding, however, unfortunatly, my family was not able to come due to the short notice of the wedding date and the cost of travel to Tashkent from the States.

Embedded Economies, Democracy, and the Public Interest
Champlin, Dell P., Knoedler, Janet T., Journal of Economic Issues
Over the past four decades, observers have lamented the lack of participation in democratic processes among large segments of the U.S. population. (1) This lack of political engagement seems particularly puzzling, given the growing gap between rich and poor and the preoccupation on the part of many policy makers with policies that benefit a few individuals rather than the public. Economists, political analysts, and pundits have analyzed these issues extensively, with the problem attributed either to flaws in the political system or to failings on the part of the citizenry (Winders 1999; Neuborne 2001). In this paper, we suggest an alternative, economic explanation. Specifically, we argue that the decline of democratic participation and the increased power of private rather than public interest in the formation of policy are characteristics of a disembedded economy.
We begin our argument with the concept of disembeddedness as developed by Karl Polanyi (1957a, b) and others. The purpose of this section is to present our definition of a disembedded economy. In the following section, we explain how disembeddedness results in the relegation of democracy and the public interest to the "noneconomic" sphere of social life. We then turn from the disembedded economy to a discussion of an embedded economy. Specifically, we ask whether embeddedness would result in an economy that gives primacy to the public interest, where the meaning of "public interest" is determined by the full and active participation of all members of society. Finally, we close with some comments on the current disembeddedness of the U.S. economy and future prospects for policies in the public interest.
The Disembedded Economy
A disembedded economy may be defined as one where the dominant ideology as exemplified in economic policies and doctrines is that of disembeddedness. In a disembedded economy, the economic sphere of life is considered separate from the social and political sphere, and each sphere is understood as having its own rules or laws of motion. Disembeddedness is rooted in the belief that the economic system operates according to universal, natural laws. However, a social philosophy of natural law is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for disembeddedness. What is required is the separation of the economic order from the social and political order. The essence of disembeddedness is that the economy operates according to this natural order, but society does not. The will of human beings as expressed in cultural norms or political processes is reduced to a "constraint" on the economic sphere of life. The "natural" economy has no need for overt human control and essentially runs on automatic pilot. Indeed, interference by the state or other institutions threatens the very existence of the "natural" economy.
The idea of a natural order is an old idea in western philosophy found in Aristotle's Politics and in the writings of Aquinas (Clark 1999). The concept was revived during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in political theories of the state. Thomas Hobbes linked the natural order to the nature of individuals as did subsequent liberal philosophers (Manicas 1987). The relationship between the natural order and human nature is described by Dell Champlin (2003) in a recent article on the natural law view of community:
According to this tradition, human beings are natural beings before they are social beings. The starting point is the individual, and the basic question is the existence and nature of the social order. The primacy of the individual in this tradition stands in stark contrast to a cultural view of community, which begins with the idea that human beings are social animals. That is, in a cultural community, the existence of an individual existing separate from society would be an anomaly in need of explanation, whereas in the natural community, it is the existence of society that requires explanation. …

Comments about Rawlings 12.75-Inch GG Gamer Adult Baseball Glove:
I bought this mit for softball as a third baseman in a very competitive mens league. There are some line drives and grounders hit right at me that a glove made of crummy quality would fail and eventually break or tear. But that's not the case here. this glove, for a ~$100 glove, has handled everything with ease. Its a perfect fit and the shape has held up so far. Break in has gone well and held strong. The leather is a little on the cheaper side compared to some of my baseball gloves but i wasn't looking to spend 300 on a softball glove. This mit does the job right. 10/10 would buy again

DSLR Image Capture vs Video Recording??

Re: DSLR Image Capture vs Video Recording??
When shooting video (or using live view in general), DSLR becomes a mirrorless camera. Mirror is locked in up position, viewfinder is blacked out, and mechanical shutter is open. So there is no difference between a DSLR and a mirrorless when in video mode.
Professional cinematography cameras utilized a rotating round mirror with cutouts, placed at 45 degrees into the optical path. Having anything of the sort in an SLR would make it prohibitively bulky.

The big running party (and pictures to follow!)
Tuesday, July 23, 2013
I ran the monthly Full Moon 5K yesterday. Let me tell you a little about what it is, because this is the coolest 5K I ever ran! It is a 5K run around a helicopter landing pad, starting at midnight, and it is a giant running PARTY. People come dressed in outrageous costumes, there is a DJ, and there are some kind of shenaningans before the start of the race: this morning the crowd played volleyball with ginormous beach balls, last month there was a water balloon fight. I cannot wait to post the photos of the run, mainly due to the fact that I photographed guys in crazy costumes and ones without shirts (its 100+ degrees even at midnight).
It was a load of fun, but considering the fact that 99.9% of participants are extremely fit (you have to be a true fitness maniac to run at midnight on a weekday here, and considering the fact that, as I previously complained about, everyone here is super-fit as is, you can imagine the whole thing looking pretty much like a scene from MTV's Spring Break pool party footage) I ended up feeling a little depressed. Sure, I am losing weight, but running next to super-fast super hard bodies just makes me think... whew, I got WAYS to go. In the light of the day, I guess it is just another challenge to overcome, another mountain to conquer. I choose to look at my obesity like I would at any other possibly fatal chronic disease, something like cancer - it's an uphill battle, but you can do it; it will never go away, so you have to control it and be vigilant... Maybe a bleak outlook but, in my humble opinion, the only way to think about it. I lost weight before, and I let go, and the weight came back, more then ever. Time to look at it as a chronic condition, and treat it as such. All the lifestyle changes I make will be permanent. Little by little, day after day, I will work and struggle to make health and fitness part of my life, and maybe this time next year I can be one of those super-fast super-hard bodies hurtling past other, slower runners. Instead of letting them be a reminder of everything I am not, I choose them to be a vision of what I can be, a golden, shiny prize of doing what I am trying to do. The pictures will be coming soon, have a great Tuesday, everyone!

It's perfectly understandbale that you had the emotional response that you did---what's the saying? "Comparison is the thief of joy." You will get there too! You have a great attitude. Just gotta be patient with yourself.
Bravo for running the 5K. I can't believe it's that hot still at midnight. Sounds like daytime must be miserable!
Totally agree with the assessment of obesity as a chronic condition. It sucks to think of it that way, but it's the honest truth, really.

Nature lovers may be lured in by the title.
The title of this offering is misleading. The closest these boys get to the grass is to kneel in it as they engage in some cocksucking. Otherwise all the action is on benches, lawn chairs, etc. There is no reason given for them being there, and they seem uninterested in the whole set-up.

"Lahaina, Maui" Top 5 Page for this destination Lahaina by pamstravels
Lahaina Travel Guide: 215 reviews and 722 photos
Okay, only one hot man!
Lahaina was a whaling town, now the only whale hunting being done is by the tourist. Whale cruises are BIG business in Maui, Lahaina being the biggest port for the tourist boats.
I was told that Lahaina means "Cruel Sun" in Hawaiian, as it is usually sunny and hot.
"Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me.." That is the song that came to mind looking out toward Lanai'i from Front St. in Lahaina. If you notice, one boat is tipped over, that one would be mine if I tried to sail.
A friend of mine that was in Lahaina this past November told me the story behind this tipped over sailboat. Seems that last Halloween, after a night of too many mai tai's, a tipsy partyier borrowed his friends boat and because he was seeing double, thought the streetlights were the stars, grounded it. Of course the owner wasn't happy and now the locals aren't either. But in typical Hawaiian laid-back style, as of January 2005, the boat has not been removed from the harbor as it continues to cause damage to the sea bed. "Bartender! Another round while we discuss this matter further." I think the tipped over boat adds additional charactor to the harbor.
- Pros:Sunny, laidback
- Cons:Not enought time spent there
- In a nutshell:Will be coming back

October 20th, 2006
Keeping it short and simple this week, as I'm home in Rhode Island for my 10th high school reunion.
My game plan is to claim I invented both radium and pilates.
Even if I'm not entirely honest in this context, Big Blue Bubble's Pop-A-Tronic is. One of the best pure puzzle games I've played in a long time, Pop-A-Tronic focuses on the task of providing a fun arcade-style game, and succeeds admirably in doing so.
Like any block-clearing game, the player seeks out clusters of similarly colored bubbles as they rain from the top of the screen to clear the level and advance to the next stage. A simple enough premise, Pop-A-Tronic adds some neat touches to a familiar concept. For example, click on an active cluster and it'll burst, removing the bubbles from the level and causing the others to fall. Click on an inactive cluster of less than three identically colored bubbles and the clicked bubble will become scrap, thereby interfering with possible future combinations.
Setting off electrical weaponry in Pop-A-Tronic.
It may be sort of a shrewd trick, but it adds to the challenge and makes the game that much more fun.
No arcade-style game would be complete without power-ups, which Pop-A-Tronic has in spades. Items like the Color Transmutation device help locate a single bubble color on the screen and wipe out all units while a Charge Bomb can be repeatedly clicked before detonating to clear out larger portions of the screen.
Perhaps the coolest feature of the game and the thing that keeps it from being completely dependent on what pieces fall in what order (something the player has no control over) is the ability to control-click a bubble and move it to any location necessary to complete a combination and clear a cluster from the screen. This addition points the game in two different directions, yet adds to it as a whole; the title becomes a "speed-click" game combined with strategic elements. The two game styles actually mesh well, even if they make the player speed up and slow down their pace at alternate intervals.
The right combination will clear out the bubbles and allow you to plan your next move.
If nothing else, Pop-A-Tronic wins for polish and craftsmanship. Outstanding graphics catch the eye and draw the player in, while vivid sound almost defies what you'd believe your Mac's speakers were capable of. Where a steady backbeat guides the game, sound effects such as a rapid bubble popping create a frenetic pace for the game and round out the environment. They did their homework over at Big Blue Bubble, and I can't wait to see what future titles will bring.
Pop-A-Tronic is available for a $19.95 shareware registration fee and arrives with 59 minutes available to test the game out. Registration removes the time limit and allows access to three additional game modes. The program is a universal binary and runs well on both Intel and PowerPC-based hardware. Pop-A-Tronic requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later to run, and is available as a 15 megabyte download and expands to occupy 24.4 megabytes of disk space when installed. Oddly enough, a full web demo of the game can be found online for test play on any platform.
That wraps it up for this week. As always, if you see anything new, cool or useful in the Mac universe,

Acrylic LettersCLICK AN IMAGE TO VIEW
Flat Cut Acrylic Shines on a Monument or as Lobby Signage
Choose Acrylic for a Modern, Contemporary Look
For interior or exterior signs, acrylic cut letters continue to be a very popular choice! Dressy, crisp and shiny, acrylic is available in 30 standard colors (or it can be custom painted), and your logo and letters can be individually custom cut to the height, width and depth (1/8" to ½") you require. For smaller and thinner acrylic logos, we simply silicone the letters directly to the wall, giving you a clean and tailored look. For larger and thicker acrylic logos, we may add threaded mounts on the backs of the letters, and either flush mount or stand them off the wall.
Acrylic is suitable for exterior use and can be periodically washed with a good quality car wax applied to keep its beautiful shine and color to last for years.
Give us a call and we'll advise you of the best material to use based on the viewing distance, location and your budget!

|An electric dryer stands silently amid the remains of the destroyed residence.
Call it the Mystery House.
Neighbors say they don't know who last lived there or exactly when. Most locals don't even know there was a home up there on the hill above Holland Road in Menifee, long since abandoned.
The mail box at 26240 Holland Road stands empty and alone at the side of the road, across from where Red Fox Road leads up to a modern housing development on the opposite hill. A couple hundred yards west on Holland is the intersection with Murrieta Road -- just another rural spot among the growing communities in town.
Up a winding dirt road, on 13 acres of land surrounded by trees and boulders at the top of a hill, lies the charred remains of what just yesterday was an abandoned manufactured home. According to property records, it was a two-bedroom, two-bath home, built in 1975 and last sold in 1990. A title search reveals that it is owned by an investment group.
Today, it's a pile of rubble, destroyed by a fire Wednesday night. Cal Fire-Riverside County Fire Department crews had the blaze under control a little after 9 p.m. -- roughly half an hour after it was first reported. Quick work by the firefighters preserved a grove of trees surrounding the place, which could've ignited and spread the fire to some nearby horse stables and other structures.
Motorists slowed down Thursday morning to look up on the hill, where flames had lit up the sky just hours before. Some wondered what exactly had burned up there. Was there really a house on the hill?
"I've lived here 24 years, and I never knew anything was up there," said Elaine Cruz, who lives in the area. "Then my nephew came running in the house last night and said, 'There's a fire on the hill.' "
Ann Hickey, a neighbor of Cruz, said she has often driven by the property and noticed a locked gate at the side of the road.
"As you drive down Holland from Murrieta Road, you could see the top of a house up there," she said.
By Thursday morning, all that remained were mangled steel girders, some bricks and the remnants of what was once a home -- a satellite dish, an electric dryer and pieces of furniture. A few yards away stands an empty swimming pool. Quail run all over the place. One could see that in its day, this was a quiet retreat for someone.
What happened to it Wednesday night, no one knows for sure. Officially, the cause of the fire is under investigation, according to Melody Hendrickson of the Fire Department's public affairs office.
"It's still very early; this just happened," she said. "Often, we don't have a cause in the incident report. If we find one, the report will be updated immediately."
Michelle, who asked that her last name not be used, lives on an adjacent hill overlooking the property. She and her husband were standing in their driveway and talking about 8:30 Wednesday night when her husband heard a noise and looked toward the next hill.
"It looked like it had just started," Michelle said. "There was no smoke yet but it looked like a doorway of fire inside. We heard the popping of the windows and the roar of the flames.
"That's the closest I've ever been to a fire. If we hadn't been outside for about the last 15 minutes, who knows how long it would've burned before someone noticed. Embers were flying and the horses were pacing back and forth. By the time the fire department arrived, it was fully engulfed."
Michelle's husband called 911 to report the fire. She said neither she nor her husband saw anyone around the property at the time of the fire or the moments leading up to it.
"We see teenagers up there every once in a while," she said. "We usually let our dog out to bark at them and that scares them away. All I know is, the house has been vacant for years."
Anyone with any information about the fire should call the Riverside County Fire Department at 951-940-6910.
|Steel girders, bricks and ashes are about all that remains.
|A satellite dish is evidence that someone once lived there comfortably.
|An empty swimming pool stands on the property above Holland Road.

"Ballad of the Tattooed Lady" Firecat Gallery Chicago IL 2011 (Click image to see full gallery)
There is nothing more classic than a vintage "mom" tattoo. A heart with a banner, a flower, possibly a bird. The Mother represented by such a tattoo is an idealized image of mother; a sweet saint/child that was a domestic slave without complaint. She is Mother Theresa, the Virgin Mary and Betty Crocker all in one. It is her unselfish dedication that prompts her memorial via tattoo on her son who takes her icon into the world. A larger world that she herself does not inhabit. This idealized mother is still a constant image in advertising and popular culture. Still exerting guilt pressure and idealized forms that no human can achieve. She is our constant barometer for failure. This glove pair is in response to feelings of failure, guilt and anger within the role of motherhood. These feelings are culturally shamed and therefore not symbolically represented except in the most grotesque forms such as Medusa the child killer or Lilith the whore.

Wanna bet? Gambling on the London Olympics
A major challenge for the gambling houses is setting the odds for the more obscure sports. Who is to say Dutch rider Adelinde Cornelissen should be a 15-to-8 shot in dressage, an equestrian discipline? Or if Sweden's Anders Gustafsson should be set as a 9-to-1 shot in the 1,000-meter men's single kayak race?
Crilly says ahead of the Olympics, betting firms assign teams to research each sport, spending weeks immersing themselves in facts and figures.
Punters can also bet on which country will win the overall medals table (the U.S. is favored, with China a close second), or how many golds the host nation will take home.
Bridge says Ladbrokes has already taken a 10,000 pound ($15,500) bet on Bolt to win the 100-meter dash and expects much larger wagers ahead of the big race.
"We anticipate our high roller customers will fancy him to do the business,' she said. "If they were to want 50,000 pounds ($77,500) or more on Bolt, then we will happily lay it."

"Scenic town on the Limmat" Baden by sswagner
Baden Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 49 photos
Just half an hour by train from Zurich is a very scenic and historic town worth exploring. It has a colorful old town, a medieval tower, a church, the Limmat River with a covered bridge, and a ruined castle overlooking it all. Even on a warm summer day, the place did not seem too crowded. Most of the people in town were in the more modern shopping areas adjacent to the train station. Upon entering the old town, it was a lot less busy. This is a good place to walk around, enjoy the peace and quiet, and take a few pictures. There are many green areas around, and the overall view of the area reveals a very nice surrounding country landscape.
- Pros:Nice old town, easy to walk around, close to Zurich
- Cons:Lots of those construction cranes around
- In a nutshell:This makes a pleasant excursion from Zurich. It is an ideal place to take a walk.

The proposal respons to some of these arguments. A summary of main points in the proposal follows:

Thanks for all the comments. I'll try and address them all now.
In regards to the poll, and whether the hero should speak or not - I think its pretty clear the majority would prefer a speaking character. Which, to be honest, is what I would have voted for myself.
In regards to posting Overworld screenshots, the reason I have done so yet is because I believe mapping to be one of my weakest areas and I've been putting off posting any screens of it. But I'll go ahead and post some later on today.
In regards to the storyline, I'll write out a more detailed version and stick that in the first post soon.
And in regards to the Trainer Growth...
I was toying with the idea of difficulty settings the player can choose from that affects the speed of other trainer's improvement. This could be changed at any time from the options menu - so if you find the game becoming too easy or difficult, then you can change it on the fly (though the affect may not be instantaneous and gradually become easier/harder. Does that sound plausible?
And finally, in regards to the game being completed...
While I could never hope to 100% guarantee that I will finish this game - and while I also accept that the chances are slim - I will definately try my best. And if for whatever reason I can't, then I will at the very least not stop until there's a decent chunk of the game that can be released.

SnapplesCharlotte, NCAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5We love this bookApril 17, 2013SnapplesCharlotte, NCAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5As a family, we enjoy this book tremendously. I have completed about 20 detailed church led or commercially published bible studies on a number of books of the bible and have not found this book to be confusing or inaccurate in anyway...there is scripture on the pages of this book that show accurate written and picture content. I first listened to the quite lengthy abridged audio story of the novel at the same time I was working on a commercially published study of the book of Revelation; I did not find any details to be inaccurate, but matched the bible well and complimented my study beautifully. This children's picture book and the audio story are our kids' favorites from their library. I recommend this book. I also learned my younger son's preschool class will receive a number of days learning about heaven and this book is used in the school for a segment of the teaching on heaven. It is so important that we be in the word of God to know Him and also test life against it to discern truth and direction. People need to be aware that their doubts mean something in the supernatural world...so quit doubting, read up, pray up, and believe and receive the grace, love, and provisions of an awesome God!
