NEX-5 with 16-50 Retractable Lens
I was at the PDN photo show in NYC the other day and I stopped by the Sony booth with my NEX-5 camera and tried out the 16-50 retactable lens on the camera. Here are my observations:
1 - the lens has some barrel distortion at 16mm. More than usual. The newer NEX cameras will have firmware updates to correct the barrel distortion. Probably not the NEX-5. This was confirmed by the Sony Rep.
2 - I also wanted to see if the lens retracts EVERY time the camera goes into sleep mode. It does retract. I was hoping it would only retract when the camera is shut off. I think this would eventually wear out the mechanism in the lens.
In general, I was not impressed with the lens. It is not much smaller than the original 18-55 kit lens.

Zack's Kernel News
Zack's Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
There has been much giddiness and consideration of the Ballmer Peak as a result of Linus Torvalds's recent announcement that a 3.0 kernel release was imminent.
Not everyone was thrilled about the version change. On learning that Linus did not intend to include any extreme changes in this release beyond the version number itself, Mustapha Rabiu remarked, "We applaud the fact that it'll be just as hideous as 2.6.x."

Alan Lawrence has just released the second book in his series 'The Continuing Voyages of HMS Surprise'. The Fireships of Gerontas is now available worldwide for Kindle download.
The combined fleet of Turks and Egyptians, in numbers greater than that which Nelson faced at Trafalgar, approaches the vulnerable Greek island of Samos to seek retribution for their humiliating defeat of August 1824. The seafaring patriots of Hydra, Spetses and Psara employ the most terrifying of weapons, fireships, against the Ottoman armada in the greatest, the most climactic battle fought at sea in the Greek war of independence.
Captain Patrick O'Connor leads HMS Surprise and her battle-weary crew of tired veterans once more into the fray to support their Greek brothers-in-arms. Doctor Simon Ferguson, traumatised by an intense summer of conflict and casualties, struggles valiantly to cope with the rising and bloody burden of killed and wounded shipmates.
The author, Alan Lawrence, pays literary homage to the stories and the genius of Patrick O'Brian, and brings HMS Surprise alive once more in a tale which illuminates the intolerable strain endured by the fighting man.Read more ...
Lyle Garford has just released the first book in a proposed new series, Dockyard Dog. It is now available in paperback and for kindle download worldwide.

Upon recovering he meets Captain Horatio Nelson, newly appointed to command of the Northern Leeward Islands squadron and the Royal Navy Dockyard at English Harbour in Antigua. Nelson's primary task is stamping out rampant American smuggling activity. But to succeed, Nelson needs information.
Lieutenant Ross serves as a spy for Nelson against the smugglers, but they aren't his only foe. French and American spies supporting the smugglers are playing for far higher stakes, sowing the seeds of violent unrest. Lieutenant Ross is soon in the midst of desperate action and working with a beautiful slave woman to gain information as he struggles to stop to their plot.Read more ...
Chuck Pfarrer has a new novel available for pre-order in Hardcover, Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country. It will be released in the US on 15 April 2016 and in the UK on 30 April 2016.
Philip Nolan: The Man Without a Country is Chuck Pfarrer's captivating adaptation of Edward Everett Hale's American classic "The Man Without a Country," first published in The Atlantic Monthly more than a century ago. Masterfully blending history and fiction, Pfarrer tells the story of a young artillery officer, Philip Nolan, who becomes embroiled in Aaron Burr's 1807 conspiracy to invade the territories of the Louisiana Purchase. Insinuating his scheme has official approval, Burr convinces Nolan to carry a coded message into the Orleans Territory. Nolan has no knowledge of the former vice president's intended treason--and Burr has no idea that Thomas Jefferson has discovered his scheme. Soon Philip Nolan is in military custody with Burr, charged an accessory to the plot.
The nation holds its breath as Burr is tried for attempting to tear apart the Union. The charges against Burr seem ironclad, but his lawyers are clever, and Burr walks free. An embarrassed prosecution looks for a scapegoat, and expands the charges against Nolan to include desertion and sedition. Learning that his own court martial will proceed, despite Burr's acquittal, Nolan denounces his accusers, damns his country, and tells the court he wishes never again to hear the words "United States" as long as he lives. The judges return with an ominous verdict: the prisoner's wish will be granted. Nolan is sentenced to permanent exile aboard a series of U.S. warships, never again to hear news from or speak of his country.Read more ...
The latest Alan Lewrie novel by Dewey Lambdin titled A Hard, Cruel Shore, is now available for pre-order in hardcover worldwide. It will be released on 2 February 2016.
1809 starts out badly for Captain Alan Lewrie, RN, and his ship, HMS Sapphire. They've extracted the sick, cold survivors of Sir John Moore's army from disaster at Corunna, got hit by lightning while escorting the army to England, and suffered a shattered mainmast which may end Lewrie's active commission if a replacement can't be found or fashioned soon; Admiralty needs troopships, not slow, old 4th Rate two-deckers, so Lewrie must beg, borrow, steal, and gild the facts most glibly if he wishes to keep her and her skilled crew together.
Just when he imagines he's succeeded, new orders come appointing him a Commodore over a wee squadron assigned to prey upon French seaborne supply convoys off the treacherous North coast of Spain, better known as the "Costa da Morte," the Coast of Death, where the sea may be more dangerous to him and his ships than the French Navy! Basing out of newly-won Lisbon, where Lewrie hopes his mistress from Gibraltar, Maddalena Covilhá, might move, he's sure of one thing: it's going to be a rocky year that, hopefully, doesn't involve wrecking on the rugged shores of Spain!Read more ...
Alaric Bond has just released the latest book in the Fighting Sail series, HMS Prometheus , which is now available in ebook formats worldwide and will be released in paperback shortly.
With Britain under the threat of invasion, HMS Prometheus is needed to reinforce Nelson's ships blockading the French off Toulon. But a major action has left her severely damaged and the Mediterranean fleet outnumbered. Prometheus must be brought back to fighting order without delay, yet the work required proves more complex than a simple refit.
Barbary pirates, shore batteries and the powerful French Navy are conventional opponents, although the men of Prometheus encounter additional enemies, within their own ranks. A story that combines vivid action with sensitive character portrayal. Number eight in the Fighting Sail series.Read more ...

Courtney Williams is an industrial technology teacher at Center Grove High School.
Reporter Magen Kritsch recently asked her the following questions:
Why did you become a teacher?
Teaching was actually not my first choice. I originally thought architecture was for me, but after looking at the program, I decided against it. I then thought elementary education was for me, so I started there with a concentration in technology education. After getting into the hands-on, problem-solving classes, I fell in love.
How long have you been teaching?
This is technically my first official year of teaching, but last year I was a full-time substitute for half of a year at Muncie Central High School. I also taught part time for three semesters at Ball State University.
Name one thing you have learned from a student.
The biggest thing students have taught me is that sometimes all they want is someone to talk to and for someone to care about them.
What is the best advice you have ever received?
Some of the best advice I have received is to try to personalize lessons to the student's interests. If a student is interested in what they are learning they are much more engaged.
If you were giving a high school graduation speech, what would be the highlights of your speech?
Although you can't wait to get out of school and move on to the next stage of your life, it's important to live in the moment because it goes fast and you can't get that back. It's also important that you learn from your past and never regret anything you do.
What is your favorite website?
I'm obsessed with checking my email, so I'd have to say Gmail/Outlook.
How many texts do you send in a month?
I honestly have no idea, but probably too many.
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
A lot! But I only wear a select few.
Describe your morning routine.
First I take care of my puppy. Then it's all about me, and once I'm ready to go I typically have a little time left over to play with my puppy. Then it's to school to get ready for the students.
Who are the top three artists on your iPod?
Taylor Swift, Usher and Stevie Ray Vaughan

I fear this is not a bug but a limitation. The subdivision modifier and other "Generate" modifiers don't output a spline but a mesh. The result of such modifiers can be used for rendering, but for things like Spline IK, Taper, Path Follow, .. only the spline up to such a modifier is used.
I was afraid of that.
Well, I'm going to look for an alternative solution.
Thanks for looking into it.

Omar Isidro
Update on Omar IsidroOmar Isidro is 39 years old, married, and has two children (ages 16 and 9). He is from the town of León, a place that is located in the western part of the country. Omar provides painting services as a contractor to different businesses in his town. He has 15 years of experience in this line of work.
Omar's business was started out of necessity because he needed work so that he could provide financial stability for his children. He has demonstrated responsibility with his previous loans, since they have been very helpful in continuing his business and maintaining a source of income.
This needed loan will be invested as operating capital for purchasing materials such as oil-based paints, rollers, brushes, ladders, black plastic, and paint thinner. Omar Isidro is grateful for the help that Kiva lenders provide to people who have limited resources and are from poor countries such as Nicaragua so that they can have a decent life.
Previous Loan DetailsOmar Isidro is 38 and he works offering his services as a bricklayer. He has had this livelihood for 15 years. He learned from his father, who taught him the trade so he would be able to get ahead in life through his own effort and dedication. The loan he is currently requesting is to buy a shove...

Additional Information
Fundación Leon 2000This loan is administered by Fundación Leon 2000. Fundación Leon 2000 began operations in 1993 as the first microfinance institution to serve the western part of Nicaragua, a country which continues to be one of the poorest in the western hemisphere. Fundación Leon 2000 works to further the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises through credit services and management, applying the best credit industry practices and technical expertise. Additionally, Fundación Leon manages several business and financial education programs in the community, specifically for young entrepreneurs and at-risk youth.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

norinco m-14 from marstar | Firearms Discussion | Forum
1:26 pm
i was just wondering if anyone has any experience with marstar, or specifically the norinco m-14. it is a nice looking rifle, and ive been thinking about buying one for my collection, but ive seen a few good and a couple bad comments in other forums and dont want to buy a hunk of junk. the norinco website didnt work for me and havent found any solid info one way or the other anywhere else. any info, experience or even a link to a good website would be greatly appreciated!
9:08 am
Marstar is pretty good to deal with (at least I've never had a problem with them). As far as the M14 its decent, havent shot one but have seen them in action and it shoots well accurately.
12:26 pm
i have bought from marstar several times, good service, quick to ship! dont trust the website for upto date info tho, phone and check for availability if its says sold out on web site its not allways so!
as for norinco...they are awsome imo, i owned a sks, a tok,np 20,and 4 1911s,...yes 4 and i want more..lol
if you want more info on the m305(m14)check canadian gunnuts forum, good luck and enjoy!
1:29 pm
6:05 pm
Marstar is great, when they have what you are looking for in stock. Sometimes they make mistakes but they back their products with a "money back" guarantee, less shipping costs of course.
I have owned a few Norincos. The M14 is a tack driver with open sights. i can consistently hit 1.5 moa at 100 yards. Also have the M4 CQB and that is awesome. Pistols are great too, except I found that the tensile strength of their steel is too brittle and firing pins snap after a while. Have had to scramble to find new ones.

7:57 pm
Marstar is great to deal with and I have bought the M-14 (which I'm selling due to other reasons) and SKS. I disagree with the comment about the steel. From the research I've done, the Norinco seems to use better steel than the US. It all depends on how much you want to spend. The Norinco is a fraction of the price of Sprinfield and just as good, if not better out of the box. If you want to keep upgrading and accurizing...that's another story. Check out http://www.m14.ca/ for more info. For accurizing http://m14doctor.com/ (check out CGN and YTube videos). I was shooting better than 2" iron sights, out of the box and the rifle is under 50 rounds; not even worked in. You can't go wrong with a Norinco, I think people just like to trash talk them because it's Chinese (and I'm not even big a Chinese fan). You can't beat it for the money and the M-14 is beautiful to shoot...shoot...shoot. That's the problem for me, I'm a bolt shooter and just got another Savage (Precision Carbine this time) for dual target/hunting; so purely for financial reasons, my M-14 has to go, otherwise I'd keep it. I'd talk to other Norinco M-14 shooters (check out CGN forums) and try one if you can. I think you'll love it...it made a believer out of me. Where else can you get a semi-auto .308 for under $600?
8:02 pm
btw if it were an issue (were, not that it is as my buddies Norinco's have shot thousands of rounds, no problem and he is a gunsmith, plus ex-US military sniper) a firing pin upgrade is much cheaper than paying 3x for a Springfield, that is essentially the same rifle and still can use accurizing/upgrading.
5:53 pm
well thats really very helpful!! thanks a lot! i really like the package offered by marstar and the price is really good. i dont have a semi-auto rifle and wanted to pick one up. and you make a good point about the firing pin. i think i will go with the norinco. that being said, is yours the m-14 with the scope for sale in the fraser valley?

The high will move offshore Wednesday allowing a cold front to approach the area from the west. We'll still see a lot of sunshine but a few clouds may show up in the afternoon. Highs will reach the upper 60s to lower 70s. The front will move through our area on Thursday and that could produce a few light showers. Significant rainfall is not expected through the end of the week. Skies will clear rapidly by Thursday night as colder air arrives in time for Veteran's Day.

Phantoms (original 1983; edition 2002)
by Dean Koontz
Work details
Phantoms by Dean Koontz (1983)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
9.2, graded by jscomics
"Phantoms" by Dean Koontz is a wonderful book for a person looking for a truly creepy read. This book revolves around the town of Snowfield, California. The Paige sisters Jenny and Lisa have just come back to Snowfield and the town has been turned into a nightmare. Everybody is either dead or missing. The bodies found have been killed in bizarre manners that are unexplainable. The girls call in help and the Military's Biological Investigations Unit is called in, but this is something they have never dealt with before. The cause of all this mayhem is something truly evil that's has been around for centuries. It's intelligent and deadly. "Phantoms" is the perfect thriller mixed with enough creepiness to keep you jumping at shadows and afraid to be alone. Koontz is one of the masters at writing thriller books filled with fantasy and supernatural horror and he doesn't disappoint with this read. Trust me once you read it you'll never forget it.
Was good. A supernatural horror story, but it's all explained and based in science. An interesting take. A good suspense thriller.
A little far-fetched. Didn't know whether it wanted to be a Satanic predicament or a biological catastrophe so it didn't really work as either. His characters are so predictable. A lot of his stuff is formulaic.
This was one of my first Koontz books, and there is a reason I went on to read so many.
This book is so incredibly creepy, it was amazing. So good!

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0425181103, Mass Market Paperback)The lights are on in Snowfield, California, a cozy ski village nestled in the Sierra Madres, but nobody seems to be home. When Dr. Jenny Paige returns to the small town, she finds tables set for dinner, meals being prepared, and music playing in living rooms, but there's no trace of the people who put the water on to boil or set an extra place for company at the dinner table. As she explores the town, Paige finds friends and neighbors felled by a mysterious force--the bodies show no visible signs of violence or disease, and no known plague kills victims before the ice in their dinner drinks has time to melt. But the deep quiet that surrounds her offers few clues about the fate of the town's inhabitants. Dean Koontz's Phantoms strikes fear in readers from the very beginning. The mystery deepens, paving the way for a chilling journey toward the truth. If you plan to catch the film version, starring Ben Affleck and Peter O'Toole, remember that you'll be experiencing this terrifying story in a dark theater. So bring an arm to grab!
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:14:01 -0400)
When 300 residents of the little town of Snowfield, California, disappear and 150 others die suddenly, a doctor and a dedicated county sheriff, aided by government authorities and scientists, pursue the terrifying mystery.

Reading Faster: Reading a Print Book While Listening to the Audio at Twice the Speed Last Saturday, I set aside three hours to read The Hard Thing about Hard Things, while listening to the audio version, but it was not meant to be. I couldn't get the mp3 audio version of the book to play. See my blog post Struggling with Technology. After wasting three hours I didn't want to read the book again that day, so I read Kiera Cass' Selection trilogy, which I enjoyed. I will write and post my review later in the week. Monday morning, I decided to read The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building … [Read more...]

Speed Reading: Collection of Articles to Help You Read Faster
Speed Reading: Collection of Articles to Help You Read Faster I read a lot of books, so I am constantly trying new techniques to read faster, while remembering more of what I read. In the days of information overload, where the average employee has to spend about four hours each day just to keep on top of work related reading, where will he or she find time to read books to get ahead? This reality makes a skill such as speed reading and digesting more of what you read a must. I did a blog series on note-taking, and an important aspect is deciding what and what isn't important … [Read more...]
Speed Reading Tip: Read a Chunk of Words at a Time
Speed Reading Tip: Read a Chunk of Words at a Time Since my mother's death in late 2012, I have been working on major yearly personal projects that can have an impacton my professional life. First, I had the World Virtual Book Tour as a tribute to her, then my informal Liberal Arts Education, and this year, it's The Invisible Mentor 2015 Reading Challenge. But the interesting thing is that all the three projects are very much related and they are projects you do for more than a year – they are all connected. Life is like that, and I am sure you can relate with your own examples. I am … [Read more...]
Make a choice, stick to it, pace yourself!
Make a choice, stick to it, pace yourself! Every day we are confronted with many decisions. With most decisions, there are many choices so we have to choose. We do not always have all the background information so we have to do the best we can. The worst thing anyone can do is to waste too much time on fact-finding, and delay the important step of deciding – make a choice, stick to it, and pace yourself. I have mentioned it several times that I am learning to speed read the right way, but what does that mean? I have speed reading software on my computer, I have the PhotoReading … [Read more...]

Wigan boss reveals where Chelsea must succeed to beat Barcelona
14:44 24 April 2012
Roberto Martinez believes that the Blues' quality of passing is vital to progress to the Champions League final
Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez believes that Chelsea's passing is the key to beating Barcelona in the Champions League semi final second leg tonight.
The Blues only had 30 per cent possession against the Spanish giants in the first leg but take a 1-0 advantage to the Nou Camp.
Martinez said: "At Stamford Bridge you saw the biggest difference between the Premier League and La Liga; it's in the transitional play, as soon as you lose the ball, that period of three seconds.
"In England they kill you in those three seconds. In the first leg Messi gives the ball away to Lampard and three seconds later it is in the back of the net.
"The difference is what a team does when it first regains possession. In Spain they like to keep the ball, relieve the pressure and then start to attack. Here the first pass on regaining possession is forward.
"The Barcelona midfield could not cope with the speed of that transition. They could not get back into the box in time to stop Ramires and Drogba and it was started by a great ball from Lampard."

Letters: Hedgecock column
Someone needs to remind Roger Hedgecock to quit sampling his own batch of Kool-Aid, lest he remove himself from any semblance of reality.
First: Oil and gas are traded and sold on an international market. The U.S. was a net exporter of gas last year, meaning we sold more of our gas than we imported from other countries. A BP pipeline spanning the entire country, putting several drinking water aquifers at risk to oil spills, would not guarantee the U.S. more oil or gas, but would instead be sold on the world market to the highest bidder.
Second: Unless the U.S. has sole maritime control, rather than contiguous rights with Mexico, we do not have any say whether or not Mexico drills for oil in maritime waters under their control. Perhaps by assisting with their efforts, and Brazil's, we can prevent future BP blowouts. Maybe this partnership will also provide another source of oil. And yes, we do continue to drill in our own waters, at perhaps a marginally reduced rate.
Third: The fact remains that fossil fuels are not a long-term source of energy. The demand for these fuels is increasing, while the finite supply is decreasing. We can continue to exploit the fossil fuels that remain, but if we don't continue to develop alternate forms of fuel, such as switch grass or algae, we will be putting future generations into a position of relying on dwindling more expensive fossil fuels.
Stop obfuscating the issue with ridiculous Jim Jones analogies for political reasons, and devote political time and energy to actually addressing and solving the country's problems. – Steve Burden, Clairemont
Glenn Beck Lite (Roger Hedgecock) does it again with a Glenn Beckianesque diatribe comparing Obama's energy policy to the Jim Jones tragedy? At worst, Obama's flip-flopping policy is annoying but hardly critical. At best it's visionary if the potential of algae can be realized. And let's not forget his Republican's support for the highly misguided oil-from-corn plan which drove food prices up.
And once again, GBL doesn't offer a sound solution of his own. Only divisive rhetoric. More George Will! – Paul Jester, San Diego
Hedgecock has gone over the top in hyperbole when comparing President Obama to Jim Jones and referencing the Jonestown massacre in his rant against President Obama's energy policies. I suggest he save this stuff for when he fills in for Rush. – Mimi Murray, Rancho Peñasquitos
Roger Hedgecock's remarks that President Obama reminds him of Jim Jones are so bizarre and ridiculous that all they serve to do is to call into question Hedgecock's ability to engage in a rational discussion. His statement does not add any value to a logical political discourse, and should be discarded to the trash bin. – Susan Quillman, San Diego

Study: Companies Hiked Drug Prices Before Reform
A new study finds that pharmaceutical companies boosted prices significantly in the months before the new Medicare drug benefit became law. The study, from the American Association of Retired Persons, used data provided by drug companies. Drug makers say that other studies, based on government data, are more accurate. NPR's Joanne Silberner reports.

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - The San Francisco Giants placed closer
Brian Wilson on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a right elbow sprain.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced on Saturday that the star closer likely
has structural damage in the elbow and would consult orthopedist Dr. James
Andrews, but the righty will likely require season-ending Tommy John surgery.
The 30-year-old tied the Giants' club record with an MLB-best 48 saves en
route to a World Series championship in 2010.
Including his two appearances this season, Wilson has recorded 171 saves and a
3.21 earned run average in 315 appearances over his seven professional
seasons, all with San Francisco.
With Wilson out, the Giants will be forced to close games by committee, but
they do have options in Sergio Romo, Jeremy Affeldt and Santiago Casilla.
San Francisco also activated pitcher Ryan Vogelsong, who began the season on
the disabled list because of back pain that forced him to miss time during
spring training. He made two rehab starts for Triple-A Fresno, allowing two
runs and fanning 12 in 10 innings.

Legal Limbo for Living Wills
NPR's Richard Gonzales reports that the court fight over a Florida woman's right to die has prompted much interest in living wills. The legally binding documents tell doctors what kind of care you want — or don't want — if you're incapacitated. Sometimes they work as intended — but as many doctors, lawyers and medical ethicists point out, even a living will is not an end in itself.

Ms. Yang, a 44-year-old woman from the Shandong province in China, knew that she and her husband had a tumultuous relationship. In fact, they had recently begun divorce proceedings, although that does not appear to be the reason for the attack. Instead, the incident surrounds a phone call at two in the morning that Yang did not pick up. Her soon-to-be ex-husband had a history of calling, even though the two had separated, but Yang saw no reason to pick up the telephone at such a late hour. She was especially tired after having just completed a double shift at the factory where she works.
The following morning, in the middle of the factory and surrounded by her coworkers, Yang's husband appeared and confronted her. He proceeded to slam her head into the wall while shouting at her about why she did not pick up his call the previous night. Suddenly, he lunged at her face and bit off nearly her entire nose. Where the story takes an even weirder turn is that rather than spit it out, the husband swallowed it whole as he ran out of the factory; Yang's coworkers were too dumbstruck by what they'd just seen to detain him.
She was rushed to the hospital where doctors were stunned at the devastation done to her face. The nasal septum, nose tip, and the soft triangle were all missing. A medical team has already begun the process of rebuilding Yang's nose, but are uncertain about the level of success to expect. The process will take over three months and even after that phase of her recovery, she will still need additional plastic surgeries.
While police continue to hunt for her husband, additional details have emerged of the couple's crazy marriage. Both she and her spouse had been divorcees when they met and he had two adult children from his previous marriage. A year after their marriage, Yang and her new husband had a child of their own, which appears to be when things started to go amiss. The insane man demanded that Yang sell their son so that she could pay more attention to his grandchildren. She refused, separated from him, and began divorce proceedings. All of that took place about five months before he went insane and bit off his wife's nose over a missed phone call.

Top 5 signees ready to make immediate contributions for BYU and Utah
Utah badly needed another speedster to help open up things for standout Dres Anderson, and Clay will fit the bill nicely. Clay will be on campus for spring football and will come in with a real opportunity to win a starting job.
At Mt. SAC, Clay was a big play machine and hauled in 16 touchdown catches in one of the tougher JUCO leagues in America. Clay is also an elite special teams weapon, with multiple kick return touchdowns on his resume.

We didn't have a true starting RB last season. So what about Dacorius Law,
is he good enough to be a starter this season? Does he have academic issues?
Regardless, can't wait until fall camp.
Go UTES!

I'd replace Hobbs with either Kenric Young, who has the height, speed and
athleticism to be able to compete for good time in the rotation with Dres and K
Scott at wideout if he can adjust to the physicality and read coverages in the
college game, or DJ Law, if (according to reports) he is able to get his grades
in order, who looks like a stronger version of Bubba Poole, and is already
accustomed to the spread option run game from high school. This isn't a
knock on Hobbs, he looks very athletic and fast, but with Thomas, Orphey and
Porter all gaining a lot of experience and developing throughout last year, I
see them taking about all of the reps this season.
Also, Tasini may be interchangeable with Havili-Katoa as a 3- or 4-tech tackle/end.
Excited for spring ball to get started to see how a few of these guys develop, and then for the lineups to shape up in August.

It's 3 AM and I just watched all 5 of them, so forgive me for just writing one review for the group. I think that this is a very interesting series, the point of myth creatures thrown together has been done several times before but I don't think they ever have quite in this fashion. Altogether I think it is a good series and I cant wait till the next one.
PS I was reading a summarized version of Arabian nights, but I think in the story Akatsua (4 reviews down) is referring to the genie talks of killing the merchant, but the merchant tricks the genie back into the urn and shuts it. The genie then barters for his freedom with the location of a fishing spot and goes on to something along the lines of 4 different colored fish that were originally people. Anywho, sorry bout that, dunno if that was relevant or not.
Looks like another episode I'll need to start watching. Intereesting combination of characters, all with unique personalities, and a scenario that's pretty unique. It's like a parralel dimension. Plenty of puns and good comedy, and good voice acting too. Keep it going!
I find this animation quite interesting.The names alone make me interested in the shown and the simple animation strangely draws me in and makes me want more. I am highly impressed by the amount of work put into this project and cannot wait for the next installment.
I find myths about genies to be insightful, numerous and quite deadly at times. Mostly I hear that Genies are mainly tricksters, who find a way to turn any wish into a horrible outcome not so deadly as you can't get to the third wish. I find this a great lesson in choosing your words. Because of the fear of this gesture, most people try to outwit or stay away from a genie's bottle. However I often wonder why the genie doesn't serve lethal wishes, and so on I think it might be bound to his master's fate until the third wish... It could also be trying to teach us a lesson on how to appreciate what we have cause Rock bottom isn't the lowest we could go.
I love your art, as always, and your storyline is awesome as well. Keep up the good work
Yeah, genies are pretty dumb like that.
I remember that one story in 1001 Arabian Nights where the guy fished out the urn and had to choose his death or whatever nonsense.
that might have been the one I got the idea from.... There are two similar to that I think.

Here's some simple advice:
? Under no circumstances should you ONLY partake in the OCS run On-Campus Interview (OCI) program, thinking you'll certainly land a summer associate position. Wrong. You need to send your resumes and applications to every possible reasonably-sized firm within commuting range.
Bottomline: Disregarding the above two simple rules will result in no summer associate position for 96% of you, and no job offer for post-graduation, leading to an exceedingly stressful third year (or fourth year for evening students) at school.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Thrust into a starting role as a freshman, only now is Braxton Miller really getting an idea of what he can truly do as Ohio State's quarterback.
Coach Urban Meyer says Miller's progress as a quarterback was slowed because of the early responsibility thrown upon him while the Buckeyes labored through a miserable 6-7 season two years ago. Miller carried last year's team, at least for the first half of the season, as Ohio State posted a surprising 12-0 record.
Now the junior says he's learning a lot and improving daily.

Haley Smith scored 10 of her 14 points in the third quarter as the Spartans rallied from a 12-point halftime deficit.
SAMMAMISH — Skyline girls basketball coach Greg Bruns sent Haley Smith, one of his top players, get-well-soon wishes Wednesday night — at halftime, with urgency, with the seventh-ranked Spartans trailing Woodinville by 12.
"She's been sick all week, and she kind of showed it in the first half," Bruns said. "She was a little lethargic early, and we really challenged her at halftime. Boy, did she answer."
Smith, a 6-foot-1 senior, scored 10 of her team-high 14 points in the third quarter as Skyline rallied from a 29-17 halftime deficit to defeat the Falcons 56-53.
Smith's revitalized play provided a spark for the rest of her teammates as the Spartans (7-1, 5-0 KingCo 4A) finally tied Woodinville (5-2, 2-2) at 40 on Smith's turnaround baseline shot with 16 seconds left in the third quarter.

Skyline opened the third quarter on a 12-5 run, then held on as the Falcons cut the margin to three points in the final minute. A three-pointer by Woodinville's Midori Mcelwee rimmed in and out with less than 20 seconds to play.
Bruns was pleased Smith managed a quick recovery at intermission.
"Haley the first half was kind of playing the sick card and wasn't rebounding like she can and not scoring," he said. "She was defending OK, but she wasn't playing the way she normally does. That's why we said to her at halftime, if you're sick, we need to know. If not, you need to play like you can. She did."
"I wouldn't attribute it all to being sick," Smith said, "but I came out flat. The whole team kind of came out flat. So we had a nice talk with coach at halftime and all turned it around. I think our third quarter was one of the best we've played this year.
The Spartans outscored Woodinville 23-11 in the third. Senior guard Rachel Shim (10 points) hit a three-pointer at the start of the fourth quarter to put Skyline ahead for good.
Senior Kim Frost led Woodinville with 15 points. Junior teammate Sabin Keo finished with 13. Lacey Nicholson added nine for Skyline.

Fast-moving flood surprised Shickshinny residents
SHICKSHINNY - Eddie Whitesell sat on a folding chair on Spruce Street, watching the muddy, swollen Susquehanna River just yards away swirl around his house up to the second floor.
"It moved so fast," he said. "I only had a little pickup truck. I had to take out what I could."
Like most residents in the one-traffic-light town, Whitesell didn't expect the Susquehanna River to rise so quickly, or rise higher than the 1972 Tropical Storm Agnes flood. The resulting flood blocked most roads into town, including U.S. Route 11, and damaged at least 75 percent of the borough and about 150 homes, Mayor Beverly Moore estimated.
About 20 people and five dogs were rescued by boat Tuesday, Shickshinny Fire Chief Kevin Morris said.
Hardest hit were Susquehanna Avenue, McClintock Street and Canal Street, where water reached the second floor of many houses, including Whitesell's. He said he only had about 2 feet of water on the first floor during the September 2004 and June 2006 floods.
"This is worse than '72," said Charlie Noss, who was hanging out with family members in front of his house on Route 11.
"I think a lot of people know that by now," said Melvin Hess, whose North Canal Street house was completely flooded.
The intersection of Route 11 and Union Street, Shickshinny's business center was inundated, with water above the doors of the Wells Fargo bank and CVS pharmacy. Residents like elderly Nancy Luczak are worried the businesses might not come back.
"We'll be screwed if the stores leave here," she said. "Especially the people who don't have cars."
The flood water forced its way up West Union Street, filling the firehouse and municipal building with more than 4 feet of water.
Both were built after Agnes and constructed to meet 100-year-flood standards, Morris said.
"We lost a lot of stuff," he said. But the historical records were "high and dry," he said. "You can't replace minutes from 1920."
The firetrucks were removed before the flood. The computers were safe, too, when firefighters donned wet suits and braved chest-deep water to check, Morris said.
But municipal records won't be OK, and the police department is underwater, borough council President Rosalie Whitebread said.
Since the fire hall, the usual flood refuge, was flooded, Kathie and Sherm Fink offered the use of their Union Street house as a community center. The porch and front yard hummed with activity: a pot of chili being heated on a grill for lunch, Mayor Moore ordering portable toilets for the town, children helping themselves to drinks from an ice-filled kiddie pool and snacks from a well-stocked table, arrangements being made for sump pumps for flooded basements.
"We're only being neighborly," Kathie Fink said as she put together a box of food for the National Guardsmen stationed at Route 239.
Whitebread fervently thanked the residents who stepped up to donate everything from food to paper plates.
"God bless our people in this town," she said.
Residents who didn't have anywhere else to go could stay at Northwest Area High School or the Shickshinny United Methodist Church.
Some stayed put anyway, like George and Gloria Davis, despite 4 feet of water in their basement, according to their daughter Stacy Cresci.
"My dad was afraid to leave," she said. "He said people were going to loot the house."
Cresci believes the extensive flooding in Shickshinny could have been prevented if the river had been dredged after the levee system upstream at Wilkes-Barre was put in.
"It's not fair how they protect certain areas and let other areas go," she said. "We have rights. We pay taxes."
Morris is angered that no county or state officials have come to see Shickshinny - and they need to see it, he says.
"I think that's what upsets me the most," Morris said. "We get hit hard, and they know it."
A lot of residents share the feelings of Natalie Fink, who doesn't want to move even though she was flooded out of the Shickshinny high rise.
"This is my town. I'm not leaving," she said. "I'm going to be 90 years old and still living in this town."
Moore, whose Canal Street home was flooded through the first floor and her garage washed away, fought back tears as she described how she lost all her Halloween decorations - and that's her favorite holiday.
She cannot get to her house to see what's left because the river's current is too strong. It's not about the repeat flooding - disasters happen everywhere, and she chose to live there, she said. Her house was built to withstand water a foot above the Agnes level. It's more bad publicity for Shickshinny, Moore fears.
"I love this town. I do. I didn't expect this," she said.
Most people whose homes were not flooded or had minimal flooding kept their power, but in neighboring Mocanaqua, debris hit a power line at 11:15 a.m. Friday and disrupted service to about 800 customers.
"UGI is currently assessing the damage and establishing a timeframe for restoration," according to a news release.

Q&A with Cécile Ndjebet: Empowering Women Is Key to Better Forest Management in Cameroon
This blog post was originally posted on WRI Insights on March 11, 2015.
By Stephanie Ratté
Roughly 70 percent of women in Cameroon live in rural areas, relying at least in part on natural resources like forests for their livelihoods. However, women often face particular challenges in accessing the forests they need. Differences in the ways men and women understand and use forests mean natural resource policies can result in significant gender-differentiated impacts that oftentimes put women at a disadvantage. Women's lack of secure access to forests can lead to a variety of inequities, including limited decision-making power; more vulnerability for women who are unmarried, divorced, or widowed; and greater likelihood that forest conservation schemes like REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) will not benefit women and men equally. As new programs seek to tackle deforestation in Cameroon, it's imperative that these initiatives are not blind to gender differences in forest use and access.
Q&A with Alda Salomao: Natural Gas Project Threatens Community Land in Mozambique
This blog post was originally posted on WRI Insights on March 5, 2015.
By Celine Salcedo-La Viña
As the United States and other western countries shift from aid-based engagement in Africa to more trade and investment, it's important to ensure that investments are environmentally and socially responsible. Investments in agriculture, infrastructure and energy can adversely affect people and the planet if the needs of local communities are ignored. Rural Africans frequently suffer displacement and lose access to vital natural resources as governments acquire their lands and allocate them to local and foreign investors—even in countries where laws recognize community land rights.
TAI members gather for a successful Global Gathering in Bogota
At the foot of the dark green mountains that surround Bogotá, Colombia, over 90 energetic access rights and forestry advocates spent three days learning from each other during the 2014 TAI Global Gathering. The Gathering created a space where new ideas mingled freely with established approaches, and veteran TAI members, new members and forest governance experts could build meaningful relationships. Held from October 29-31, 2014, the 2014 Global Gathering was the largest in TAI's 13 year history and included participants from 42 countries.
The Access Initiative: Priorities for 2015
It can be very hard sometimes to set down hopes, dreams and resolutions in writing. This year, the Access Initiative decided it was time to illustrate the network's hopes and wishes for 2015.
The Access Initiative is a network of civil society organizations working all over the world to ensure that decisions being made about the environment are open, participatory and fair. We collaborated with one of our amazing members, Margaretha Quina from the Indonesian Center for Environmental Law, to come up with images that represent 8 priorities for 2015.

This news blows for the Russian Selena Gomez fans. SelGo was apparently denied her request for a Russian visa, forcing her to cancel her shows on Sept. 23 and 25th.
Russia's anti-gay law is cited as one of the reasons. Apparently, they're not feeling the fact that Sel has openly supported gay rights. Looks like they're still living in the 1920s. This really sucks for the Russian selenators, though.

text: Found this in the local online classified ads (click here). Forget the $450 asking price--I guess from the pic that the bike needs so much work that it's not worth that. The real question is: Does this bike have any potential at all as a fun project/weekend bike, or is it a complete waste of time and engergy (and money and other resources...).
