Grilling & Barbecuing Basics
Grilling is the method of cooking pork over direct or indirect heat on an electric, gas or charcoal grill.
Barbecuing is a method of slowly cooking pork in an open pit or on a spit using coals, hardwoods, gas or electricity as a heat source. The same effect can also be achieved using a grill by placing the pork on the rack away from the heat source. The food is frequently based with a tangy tomato- or vinegar-based sauce.
Cooking Tips
To prevent the meat from sticking, use clean racks and coat them with vegetable oil or a nonstick vegetable oil spray.
Do not use sharp utensils that may pierce the meat when trying to turn it because piercing allows valuable juices to escape. Use other utensils, such as wooden spoons and spatulas for turning the meat.

Mounting and connecting the 4-way adapter was a piece of cake. I also really like the LED indicators on this piece of gear. I find myself wanting a little more instruction for the "remaining" wires (blue, gold, and black). I think these need to be run to a brake controller (which I do not have yet). The instructions were very vague on that detail.

A Windows PC is by definition unreliable. Why the Core i7 when you've read the following?
"Our tests demonstrate fairly little difference between a $225 LGA 1155 Core i5-2500K and a $1000 LGA 2011 Core i7-3960X, even when three-way graphics card configurations are involved. It turns out that memory bandwidth and PCIe throughput don't hold back the performance of existing Sandy Bridge-based machines. "
The primary reason I encounter for dedicated graphics memory is gaming. And yes there are a few gaming 14 inch models but I'd still get the XPS or Alienware with my money.
Does anyone know of one made by one of the more reliable brands (not Dell or HP)?

Game producers' main task is to overview the whole process of making a game. Simply put, the producer is the person ultimately responsible for the planning, development, and delivery of a game. Involved in all aspects of production, a producer holds the broadest possible view of a project.
Producers may be involved with the business and they might decide or influence who will be needed to hire for the project. Producer is kind of the team leader who says the final answers for arguments when needed. Producer can be also the team lackey – doing tough work when needed. A producer is kind of the link between the artists, programmers, marketing people and upper management.
Skills that are typically associated with a game producer:
– good communication skills
– coordination
– conflict management
– scheduling
– leadership ("leading people")
– management ("leading things")
– some programming knowledge to understand technological aspects
– art background may be an aid
– business thinking

Hey, I am currently taking the following subjects for A Level at sixth form:
Critical Thinking(I know its not worth an A-Level, but one of the college`s teachers told me its only one session a week, so i just went for it
English Literature
English Language
(Any thoughts on these?)
Anyways I am thinking of changing Philosophy to another subject, but am not sure what to change it to. I am not sure which career sector I want to go into so, I would like to keep my options open.
Any suggestions???

Keep Philosophy. Drop E-Language. Don't bother with Critical Thinking. Waste of time IMO.
I seriously cannot believe that you are thinking about keeping your options open, and yet you want to do two English A-Levels. Many universities won't accept the pair as two separate A-Levels, much like Economics and Business Studies, and to a degree, it does kinda imply that you might be a bit of a one trick pony.
Rest looks good though.

I'd say drop Philosophy and English Language, and pick up History and Maths, which will open up law and finance careers.

I agree, drop english language and critical thinking (many universities say they don't accept it as an A-level). If you really want to keep your options open take a maths or science subject too, just in case, or else you've kind of shut out any chance of doing a degree in that area. It's best to start thinking about your future degree ASAP because the A-levels you choose could potentially shut multiple doors that you might have wanted to enter.

Baltimore County News
Networking Event Helps Minority, Women-Owned and Small Businesses Connect with Prime Contractors
Sometimes small businesses and those owned by women and minorities can find it challenging to connect with larger, more established companies with whom they could sub-contract on government projects.
Baltimore County government and their partners are hosting a free "Meet the Primes" networking event to help facilitate those mutually beneficial business relationships.
The 7th annual "Meet the Primes" event will take place on Wednesday, October 14, from 8 a.m. to noon, at the Maryland State Fairgrounds, Timonium Exhibition Hall, located at 2200 York Road in Lutherville-Timonium, Maryland 21093. The event is co-hosted by Baltimore County, Baltimore County Public Schools, Baltimore County Public Library, the Community College of Baltimore County, the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments and theBaltimore Regional Cooperative Purchasing Committee.
The purpose of this "free" event is to facilitate a networking forum for prime contractors to expand their pool of potential subcontractors to fulfill participation subcontracting goals set in contracts. The exhibiting contractors are asked to come prepared to discuss potential upcoming subcontracting opportunities. Subcontractors are encouraged to come prepared to market their skills and abilities with a one-page capability statement that readily identifies past government and commercial work experience in their specialty area of expertise as well as certifications and specialized licenses obtained. There will be more than 100 exhibitors and over 300 women-owned, minority-owned and other small businesses in attendance.
For additional information about the "Meet the Primes" event, contact Carla Tucker, Minority and Small Business Marketing Manager, Baltimore County Government at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 410-887- 3119.
$3 Million Investment to Double Library Space, Enhance Service
Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz and Baltimore County Public Library Director Paula Miller announced today that the County will invest $3 million to renovate and expand the Hereford Branch of the Baltimore County Public Library (BCPL).
This project will increase the collection size, provide additional library amenities for children and adults, and double the amount of space devoted to library services for residents in the Hereford area and northern Baltimore County. A renovation of the property was originally scheduled for 2017, but the County accelerated this timeframe in the wake of a burst pipe that caused extensive flooding damage in late July.
"It is more fiscally responsible to proceed with the planned renovation as soon as possible, rather than investing in costly temporary repairs now and a full renovation later," said Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz. "This library is a very important resource for our County residents up north and this new and improved library will offer expanded service for everyone in the community sooner than anticipated."
"We are fortunate that Baltimore County is proceeding with the repair and renovation of the property at this critical time, and we are so excited to bring 21st century services and much-needed expanded library space to Hereford and northern Baltimore County," Miller said.
Construction to Begin in Two Weeks
Construction is slated to begin the first week of October and be completed in the late spring of 2016. The remodeled library will encompass the entire building where the library is currently located, and will feature a complete interior demolition of both floors, a new roof, structural exterior stairwell and walkway repairs, plumbing and electrical system overhauls, a new elevator and stairwell between the floors, and new walls and ceilings. Patrons will enjoy an upgraded library experience with new shelving, flooring, furniture and a custom-designed floor plan to maximize access to library materials.
"This is great news for the citizens of Hereford and Northern Baltimore County. I want to thank County Executive Kamenetz for his continued commitment to the people of the Third District," said 3rd District Councilman Wade Kach.
Maintaining Library Services
After the flooding damage occurred on July 26, the County provided limited library service by adding a bookmobile visit a few days a week. The library system is dedicated to having a continued presence in the community while construction is in progress. Beginning September 28, the bookmobile's hours are as follows: Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday from Noon to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Staff and administration of the library wish to thank the residents of Hereford and surrounding communities for their patience and support, in the aftermath of the damage and closure. "We received some wonderful comments about how much residents value BCPL and the services provided," said Miller.
Progress of the construction, updated details and information about the grand reopening as it becomes available can be found on the Hereford Branch page page of the BCPL website.
Library officials are planning to attend the Hereford Fall Festival on October 17 and 18 to unveil more details about the renovation.

The character of Allan has become one of my all-time favorite book characters. Not only is this book quite entertaining, enjoyable, and historically informative, it's hilarious. I kept laughing out loud, couldn't help loving the comedy of it all. Not only Allan, but the other characters are all interesting and unique. I think I'll really miss reading this.

A fast-paced, imaginative farce. Unfortunately, the writing is also a farce. A series of half realised, cack-handed scenes where everything is reported second-hand by the author. What's the point of shoe-horning Chairman Mao and the invention of the atom bomb into a narrative if there are no real consequences to the characters and no meaning to the novel? Characters? Don't make me laugh. There's very little characterisation here and what there is is inconsistent. This novel offends me.
Really liked this book up until the 50 pages - then I could care less what happened. It felt like the climax was long over and there was nothing to keep my interest and the characters lost my interest.
Fast-moving and relentlessly sunny, the novel quickly develops into a romp that takes in all the major events of the 20th century. . . the plot is pleasingly nimble and the book's endearing charm offers a happy alternative to the more familiar Nordic noir.
Stalin synger svenske drikkeviser, og Truman blir dritings .Forrest Gump som hundreåring i ny bok.
ANMELDELSE: Han redder general Franco, riktignok etter først å ha plassert en bombe for å drepe ham. Han avverger et attentat mot Churchill, og gir Oppenheimer den endelige løsningen på formelen for atombomben.
Det rene soap altså. Samtidig er det — på sin høyst skakke og fantasifulle måte — en fantastisk reise gjennom forrige århundre.
Jonas Jonassen er intelligent, vittig og systemkritisk, der han harver over alt fra fjollete politifolk, rasehygienikere og despoters ideologiske paranoia. I en bok som gir håp om at alle har en fremtid, også hundreåringer.
Nästan frustande av alla förvecklingar som ryms i debuten släpper jag snart taget en bit in i läsningen. Jag inser att precis vad som helst kan hända och kommer att göra det. Författaren tycks bubbla av infallsrikedom strösslad med lite sensmoral.

These things are awesome! I was weary about this one, but OMG I will make these again! Try them! I didn't have oat bran, so I ground 1 cup old fashioned oats and it appears to have worked out just fine. Only other change was adding a bit of black pepper.I got 8 rolls (ran out of filling, not dough - so next time I might make 1 1/2 X the filling to get a full 12) I never had a wellington, or a sausage roll, but whatever these are they 5 stars in my book!
AMAZING! I have this cookbook, and have been DYING to try these for a while, and they turned out even better than I thought they would. Just a note: this full recipe actually makes 12 Wellingtons (at least for me it did, since my 1lb package of puff pasty had 2 sheets inside it) The flavor of the nut loaf is perfect! I used 3/4 tsp of poulty season in place of marjoram and thyme, and maybe added a couple tsp of Braggs Liquid Aminos to the mix as well.
Very good recipe! I loved the texture of the "meat mix" and the spices were spot on. I did 1/2 again the spices and soy sauce and added 1/4 teaspoon of liquid smoke. This gave it the burst of flavor I was looking for! Love, Love, Love these.
Overall very good. They could use a little more flavor, though.
These were delicious! They had a great flavor and was a nice change of flavor for a vegetarian. my only complaint is the filling was a little dry. It looks like I'm the only person who thinks that so I may have messed up somewhere but I'm fairly positive that I followed the recipe. I will definitely make them but I think I may put my own twist on it so they aren't quite so dry. Outside of that, this recipe was fantastic!
WOW, WOW, WOW! These little things are amazing! So delicious! I also used ground up oats in place of oatbran, which worked out fine. I have never eaten a real wellington, so I cant compare to the real deal, but these are flavourful, hold together perfectly and are very versatile. I loved the spices in these and will definitely make them again as that also is very easy and quick to do.
Maybe I will try to sub some smoked tofu for part of the nuts just to see how that works.
I served them with lettuce leaves and your Creamy Mustard Sauce (Vegan). Mmmm!
Thank you so much for sharing this winner with us, WICC!
Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #58 May 2013.
Who could I live without knowing that this was so easy and delicious! Thanks for sharing. We are having friends over next week and I'm preparing it in advance.
These have become a staple at my house! We have them just about every week. By increasing the rice to 1 cup, there's just enough filling for 24 Wellingtons (2 boxes of frozen pastry dough).
These were delicious.Way better than I expected. I want to run out and feed them to my friends. The seasoning is perfect and they taste like a sausage roll. I added half a finely chopped onion sauteed in olive oil and few tbls of fresh parsley chopped finely. Only negative is the slight bitterness from the walnuts. I brushed my 8 square parcels with an egg wash and they browned up beautifully. This took a lot longer than 45mins to make and next time I might double the recipe. Served for dinner with pumpkin and potato mash and steamed greens. Thanks for posting :)
These were very well received tonight. I made half a recipe ending up with 6 little wellingtons. They would be an excellent brown bag lunch or picnic lunch. Thanks for sharing.

Assistant Professor of Statistics
Ethan's research focuses on creating methods for analyzing high dimensional neural signals in order to understand the neural processing that underlies object recognition, working memory and other cognitive processes.
Ethan's teaching interest span a range of topics including statistics, machine learning, data science and computational neuroscience.
The field of Statistics aims to interpret large data sets that contain random variation. Baseball is a simple game that contains a high degree of randomness, and because professional baseball has been played since the 19th century, a large amount of data has been collected about players' performance. In this class we examine key concepts in Statistics and Data Science using baseball as a motivating example. We will also discuss how newer statistics, known as sabermetrics, that have been used to gain additional insights, and will be learn how to use the R programming language to analyze data. Assignments will consist of weekly problem sets and a short final project. By taking this class students will develop an understanding of key Statistical concepts that will be useful for interpreting data from many fields.
This course is an upper-level research seminar designed for students who wish to learn electrophysiological techniques and how to analyze electrophysiology data. Course requirements will consist of reading primary research articles, executing an event related potential (ERP) research project on visual processing, and analyzing the data that is collected. The class will cover all elements of setting up an ERP research project and we will focus on both the theory and practical aspects of developing and running research study. The data analyses methods will cover a range of techniques from classical univariate statistical techniques to more advanced multivariate statistical learning methods. Students are expected to work independently.
This class is an introduction to statistical methods that are useful for analyzing data. Topics will include descriptive statistics (summary statistics and graphical methods), and resampling and parameter inference methods for calculating confidence intervals and conducting hypothesis tests. Students will learn to use the R programming language to explore statistical concepts and to analyze real data. Assignments will consist of weekly problem sets that cover newly introduced topics, and cumulative learning checks that reinforce the topics that have been covered. By the end of the class students should be able to understand the principles that underlie statistical analyses used in a variety of fields, and should be able to apply statistical methods to gain insight into data that they collect.
The rise of computers and large datasets over the past 30 years has led to the development of new methods for analyzing data. These 'statistical learning' methods blend classical statistical concepts with ideas from computer science and are widely used by data scientists to analyze complex datasets. In this class we will cover the basic concepts in statistical learning including: regression, supervised learning (classification), unsupervised learning (clustering and dimensionality reduction), cross-validation methods, and model selection. We will use the R programming language to explore the usefulness of different methods and to analyze real data. The class work will consist of weekly programming problems and a final project. Prerequisites: Prior experience with programming and statistics, either through a class or from other experiences.
Statistics is a field that tries to interpret data in the face of random variation. The methods used in statistics are often abstract which can make them hard to understand. Baseball is a simple game that contains a high degree of randomness, and thus offers a great way to ground statistical concepts in terms of simple actions taken by the players. In this class we examine key concepts in statistics using baseball as a motivating example for how to answer concrete questions in the face of noisy data. We will also discuss how newer statistics (known as sabermetrics) have been used to gain additional insights, and we will relate these ideas to other sports. Assignments will consist of weekly problem sets and a short final project. By taking this class, students will develop an understanding of key statistical concepts that will be useful for interpreting data from many fields.
The activity in our brains allows us to perform complex behaviors and (presumably) gives rise to our conscious experience. A variety of technologies exist to record neural activity at different spatial and temporal scales. However, in order to turn these recorded signals into meaningful insights about how the brain works, statistical methods are needed. In this course we will discuss several statistical analyses that are used to analyze neural data. The types of data we will examine include electro/magneto encephalographic signals (EEG/MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging responses (fMRI) and neural spiking activity. The methods covered will range from classical univariate statistics such as ANOVAs, to multivariate machine-learning-based 'decoding' analyses. Exercises will consist of analyzing real data from these different modalities, and there will be a final project where one dataset is explored in more detail. Prerequisites: completed courses equivalent to Introduction to Statistics and Introduction to Computer Programming.
This class will discuss the successes and failures of different fields to make accurate predictions. Areas we will cover include: politics, weather forecasting, economics, sports, seismology, games, and climate science. We will use Nate Silver's book 'The signal and the noise' along with primary research and news articles. Assignments will include writing short weekly summaries on current topics in prediction, giving in class presentations, and completing a final project. By the end of the class students should have an understanding of what makes prediction problems difficult and what are some of the cutting edge research problems in predictive analytics.

Not only is the company active in establishing technologies, but often it's the kingmaker for emerging standards, Dell's chief technology officer said. In an interview at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo here, Kettler outlined several areas where Dell has gone its own way--over objections from Intel and Microsoft--and has cut behind-the-scenes deals that brought new developments to market.
Essentially, Kettler argued, Dell was responsible for selecting, if not necessarily developing, many of the technologies in today's desktop computers and servers. Among standards for which he said Dell deserves credit are 802.11 wireless networking, PCI Express communications technology and 64-bit extensions to Intel's x86 line of processors.
Dell's assertiveness has led to friction at times between the company and its major allies, however. Just last Monday, Kettler spent eight hours in a meeting with Intel. It was productive, but it "wasn't pretty," he said.
In the past, Microsoft and Intel had more power, said Roger Kay, an analyst at Endpoint Technology Associates. There were few alternatives when PC companies wanted to buy chips or operating systems, and not many computer makers were dominant enough to set terms. But now, with major consolidation in the number of PC sellers as well, there are more power struggles, he said.
"Some very large players--Cisco in networking, Microsoft in operating systems, Intel in chips, Dell in PCs, Best Buy in distribution--they're all jockeying for a dominant position, bluffing, feinting," Kay said. And overall, Dell does indeed hold more power than the past. "It's a little braggadocio, but I think essentially the story holds," he added.
But overall, Dell tends to follow Intel's lead and isn't setting the agenda, said Gartner analyst Steve Kleynhans. "They tend to get involved at the point where technology is getting standardized, and they popularize it. They get it out to a lot of people," he said. "But I don't see them as being the driver of a technology or the one that sets the direction."
Dell's duels
In the case of wireless networking, Dell pushed back against Intel's fondness for the now-defunct HomeRF standard, Kettler said. It did so strongly enough to convince the company to switch its support to the 802.11 standard that is widely used today.
Intel saw HomeRF as inexpensive and good for the home. Dell, however, wanted a single technology for work and home, so customers wouldn't have to switch network adapters when they carried their laptops back and forth, Kettler said. Dell convinced Intel to go with 802.11 everywhere, but to price it at the same level as the cheap HomeRF alternative. It argued that Intel would make more money from selling a large number of 802.11 adapters with a slimmer profit margin than from selling smaller amounts of a more expensive adapter geared to work environments.
It was, therefore, Dell's actions that dramatically reduced the cost of 802.11 networking gear, he argued.
Intel declined to comment on specific situations described this story. In general, though, it acknowledged both cooperation and some tension with Dell.
"We love Dell. They indeed play a critical role with innovation and standards as the world's largest seller of PCs, and they certainly keep us on our toes every day," the company said in a statement.
More tension arrived in the area of processors, especially when Intel was faced with a move to advanced chips with 64-bit abilities. Instead of endowing its x86 chips, such as Pentium and Xeon, with 64-bit features, Intel aggressively pushed its Itanium line. Dell, though, urged Intel to boost x86--the direction rival chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices took.
"Next time to you talk to Pat (Gelsinger, head of Intel's server group and its former CTO), ask him where the demand for 64-bit memory extensions (to x86 chips) came from," Kettler said.

Two years ago there came under observation in the department of dermatology a patient, the text for this homily on self-inflicted cutaneous lesions, who had been under observation from time to time by able medical men for a period of years without adequate appreciation of the real nature of her trouble. She was presented before the third year medical class in dermatology, and an unaided diagnosis of self-inflicted skin injuries was made by the students as a result of certain fundamental criteria for the recognition of this picture which had been previously impressed on them in their course. That inexperienced medical students could be taught by a comparatively simple written rubric to recognize what their far more learned predecessors had missed, and that the literature over a period of ten years has contained comparatively few references to this group of cutaneous lesions, seem to justify a summary of the facts

Free Agency Hurts Rookie Corner-Stones
Going into free agency, we all knew how talented the cornerback class was. Players like Nnamdi Asomugha, Kelvin Hayden, Dominique Foxworth, Ron Bartell, Dunta Robinson and Leigh Bodden among several others highlighted a very deep talent pool.
DeAngelo Hall and Andre Goodman might be smiling with their newfound contracts, but the first-round rookie corners are not.
At this point, No. 5 seems too high for Vontae Davis and Malcolm Jenkins, so I think Cleveland is out of the equation.
The only team that has the potential to address corner in the top 10 is Jacksonville. They need someone opposite Rashean Mathis in the wake of cutting Drayton Florence. However, left tackle is a far greater need, and if Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe is on the board, they will not hesitate to take one of those talented prospects. If the Jags want to draft a corner, they will look to move down to do so.
Ever since Mike McCarthy declared that Charles Woodson would not be moving to safety in early February, we've known that there would be no shot the Packers would take a corner at nine. They have Woodson, Tramon Williams and Al Harris.
The San Francisco 49ers have bigger fish to fry at quarterback, left tackle, and a pass-rushing outside linebacker. I have a hard time seeing Mike Singletary go with Vontae Davis or Malcolm Jenkins now.
Leodis McKelvin was drafted 11th overall last year by Buffalo. The Bills also have Terrence McGee, Ashton Youbuty, Drayton Florence and Reggie Corner.
Andre Goodman's signing eliminates the possibility Denver goes corner at 12 because they also have Champ Bailey.
Washington re-signed DeAngleo Hall and they still have a first-rounder invested in Carlos Rogers.
The Saints spent $10 million guaranteed on Jabari Greer, who joins Tracy Porter and the developing Usama Young. They really do not need another starter.
Houston franchised Dunta Robinson and they have a trio of other corners in Jacques Reeves, Antwaun Molden and Fred Bennett. They have to think one of those three will emerge as a starter.
San Diego is trying to trade Antonio Cromartie, but I really do not see that happening; Quentin Jammer and Antoine Cason are still in the fold. Little to no chance they go corner at 16.
The Jets have the talented Darrelle Revis and they also gave Lito Sheppard a $30 million contract over five years. I have a hard time seeing them go corner at 17.
When you break it down, the only possibility a corner goes in the top half of the first round is to Jacksonville at eight overall.
Before we entered free agency, Denver, Washington, New Orleans, and Houston all needed corners. Now, none of them do. This drastically hurts the money to be made for the top of the cornerback class.
Now, Jenkins could still be drafted as a safety by New Orleans or Houston, but that would not be considered a cornerback selection. This hurts guys like Davis and Butler more, but it also decreases Jenkins' potential as a corner in the first round.
We might not see the first defensive back come off the board until into the 20s.
Do not forget - Leigh Bodden and Bryant McFadden are still on the market. They might be working contracts with Jacksonville, Cleveland, Chicago or Tampa as you read this.
Sometimes as draftniks, we just go through the motions of free agency and needs, but when you really break it down, you can see how the NFL Draft might just play out.

They were such a game couple, willing to go wherever the rope took them...

I love that i can still see the rope marks on her
So Fiery and Passionate ,yet, Strong and Powerful!
I Love and Respect this Photo DEARLY 4 hitting ALL the RIGHT NOTES, guys.
Thanks 4 showin' it to us, Donsir.
This is the TRUE defintion of what a BOND "REALLY" represents!

I think my favorite thing about this shot is his part-shadowed tattoo of "Baby." It's one word, but it defines the photograph.
I love the contrast between her expression and the tight grip of her right hand on the ropes
i would love to see this, but it's restricted due to terms of policy
anyway i could see it someplace else?
anyway i could see it someplace else?
She's got some rope marks..
bum bum!
Very Powerful!
I'm completely mesmerized by the impression the ropes left on her skin. That such a neat little detail. I absolutely love his completely-lost-in-the-moment expression and her impish mischievous gaze. Beautiful lighting and composition. Awesome work!
Damn!! Little in the middle but she got much back. That's nice, so nice...
realy great
Black women have such specific bottoms... I love watching it live
I love the faint marks left by the rope all over her body.
Beautiful picture! I love their expressions & the lighting. If I may, what did you use?
When I saw this on the DD strip at the bottom, I first thought the rope was a snake between his legs, biting her on the wrist. Nice capture regardless,and it must be nice to find two willing subjects ready to go where the moment takes them and get to this result.
Great lighting!
Sorry, the image is beautiful, but really what called me to this picture was the shape of her bum. MG!!!
fabulous shot...they do look so very involved in the pleasure of the rope....well done. Beautiful couple.
powerful stuff
Stunning stunning photograph!
look at those buns lol sorry great photo too
great shot... love the light on their bodies... and their obvious complicity...
What a beautiful couple, and what fantastic images!
Absolutely inspirational... i love her eye contact with you.. and his expression (both their expressoins) are jus so emotive.. stunning lighting x

SX30 Movies and Exposure compensation
I was taking movies of my son's band concert and the spotlight on the center of the band members caused them to be white in order to compensate for the darker surrounding background and stage. Is there a way to trick or set the movie exposure. I would like to under expose by at least 1 stop. Thanks.

How to Identify Wheat Pennies
Wheat pennies are interesting things to find, even if you're not a coin collector. They can also be valuable, so it may be worth knowing how to recognize them.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Look carefully at the date on the front. Wheat pennies may be dated from the 1910s to the early 1950s. They were first minted in 1909 and stopped being minted in 1958.
2Now look at the back. A wheat penny will say "one cent" on the middle. There will be two pieces of wheat depicted- one on either side of the wording.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Wheat pennies are found less often with each passing year. However, they do have a numismatic value of anywhere from $.02 to over $1! It depends on what year and and at what mint (Philadelphia, Denver ("D") or San Francisco ("S"), they were struck, as well as what condition they are in.

And some will actually agree with you. Not great odds, but better than being a jags fan. The only people you HAVE to please are your wife and yourself. Most other people have their own agenda, and if they are not interested in what you say it is no big loss. Anyway, this guy is certifiable. Do not want. And GOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like JT writes logical posts often. Typically it's something along the lines of "SIGN LYLE ALZADO! he's still young!`1!" or "HAHA clearly this guy sucks cause he's injured, Im so happy to tell you this!"

'The Waiter Said Our Friend Peed on Him'
The most amazing Yelp review ever?
Yelpers have complained about the service at Village Yokocho (a.k.a. that place you go through to get to Angel's Share) — for instance, one claims a waitress chased after him when he left only a 13 percent tip. But this has to be the most amazing.
Last Friday I went to Yokocho with 3 other Japanese friends. We had a really good time until we left there.
As soon as we got out of Yokocho and went downstairs, one of the waiters came after us and said he needed to talk to one of us complaining that our friend peed on him. Our friend didn't even leave our table until we all left Yokocho together!! But the waiter kept saying that our friend did it. We were like "what the f**k?" He seemed to be on drug ...
Too bad that I liked Yokocho because it's pretty decent among Japanese Izakaya in East Village but I will never go back there again just because of the CRAZY waiter. I don't want to be poisoned ...
Remember, kids: Never piss your waiter off.

Louis Alterman
Thanks, and welcome to our call. During today's call, we will refer to earnings slides that are available for you to view in the Investor Relations section of our website at earthlink.net. Following our comments, there will be an opportunity for questions.
Before we continue, I would like to point out that certain statements contained in our earnings release and on this conference call are forward-looking statements, rather than historical facts that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described. With respect to such forward-looking statements, the company seeks the protections afforded by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
These risks include a variety of factors including competitive developments and risk factors listed in the company's SEC reports and public releases. Those lists are intended to identify certain principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, but are not intended to represent a complete list of all risks and uncertainties inherent to the company's business.
In an effort to provide useful information to investors, our comments today also include non-GAAP financial measures. For details on these measures, including why we use them, and a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measures, please refer to our earnings release and the Form 8-K that has been furnished to the SEC, both of which are available on our website at earthlink.net.
After Rolla's opening comments, Brad Ferguson, our Chief Financial Officer, will discuss the quarter's financial results. Now I'd like to hand things over to Rolla Huff, our Chairman and CEO.
Rolla P. Huff
Thanks, Louis, and good morning to everyone joining us on the call. Well, we're off to a terrific start so far in 2013. New customer bookings are up considerably and we're raising our revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance. Before I get to the part of the call where we talk about the Q1 operating results and higher full year outlook, I'd like to take a couple of minutes upfront to address our recent refinancing effort and the goodwill impairment charge we booked in Q1.
As you recall, our bookings in the second half of 2012 were soft as we saw extended customer decision cycles despite a growing sales pipeline that we've talked to everybody about. This caused the 2013 entry point and resulting financial guidance for this year to be lower than many of us had hoped it would be. Shortly following the issuance of that guidance, we had, what I described as an unforced error in our attempt to opportunistically refinance some debt. We believe the financing was poorly executed by our bankers, which ultimately caused us to terminate the financing instead of completing a financing with unattractive terms.
Now I don't say this to deflect accountability for our role in the process. We're responsible for everything that happens in this company. But I do say it to point out that the termination of the refinancing was due to tactical reasons, not because fixed income markets have an issue funding our strategy, as evidenced by the fact that we have $300 million of unsecured notes trading at a 7.5% yield today.
The combination of this event, plus the impact that 2012 sales had on our 2013 guidance, caused our stock to trade down by 16% in the first quarter. The change in the stock price then triggered a formulaic accounting process, which caused us to record a noncash goodwill impairment. I want to stress we recorded the impairment because we followed GAAP rules related to the trading value of our equity relative to the book value of the assets and not due to any sort of change in our future prospects. Our sales team knocked it out apart during the first quarter. And if anything, our view on our prospect has only improved.
And I think that's a good segue, so now let's talk about our first quarter results. I'll start on Page 2 with new customer bookings, which are the lifeblood of our recurring subscription model like ours. Throughout last year, I shared with you that we were seeing our pipeline build, the prospects were interested and wanted to talk to us about our new product offerings but that we were seeing decision cycles extend and deal closings were happening slower than we had liked. I'm very excited to report that our team materially reversed that trend in Q1, the first quarter under Mike Toplisek's leadership. We booked $3.4 million of new gross monthly recurring revenue, which was our highest quarter since we had over double the sales reps in 2011, and it equates to $84 million of total contract value. Our MRR bookings were up by 14% and was a $2.9 million improvement from Q4 2012.

Geoff Johns to step down as 'Green Lantern' writer
DC Comics chief creative officer Geoff Johns will step down as writer of the company's "Green Lantern" title, the Associated Press reports.
Johns has been the writer of "Green Lantern" since 2004, with the miniseries "Green Lantern: Rebirth." May's issue No. 20 will be Johns' last.
"I'm really proud of all the stuff we've built with Green Lantern — from Larfleeze to the different corps," Johns told the AP. "The universe has expanded and will live well past my run. It was more than just telling another story, but really giving back to the character by expanding and adding to their mythology."
Johns will continue to be associated with some Green Lantern characters — Simon Baz is a featured character in "Justice League of America," and Hal Jordan is still featured in "Justice League." Johns tells the AP he's going out with a bang.
"It was a very, very hard decision. I absolutely love these characters but I felt like I had a story line that really made sense and felt emotionally satisfying and felt very big and very epic."
The final issue, Johns says, ties everything together.
"It really, for me, ties everything else and ends the Green Lantern saga," Johns said of the 64-page issue No. 20. "This story — the way the story evolves — I think people will get a sense of finality from it."

Can't really fault our one night stay - all the staff friendly and helpful, room well appointed and with a pleasant view, roaring log fire on a cold evening.
Memorable wedding anniversary
I booked a luxury double, as a treat for my wife and I.
The hotel carried out my request for a bottle of bubbly on arrival. Not only did they do that, but they gave us a free upgrade to a four poster suite. A special mention to Rita, on reception, making sure we had everything and made us feel welcomed. Top marks to the stone house court.

Not bad but could be better.
We stayed in the hotel on a weekend.
First impressions are fantastic,unfortunately our room was in the annex, not made clear on booking, and the rooms were cramped and the bathroom needed updating about 10 years ago. Our shower didn't work so we were given a key to use the shower next door. Was quite inconvenient. After saying that the view of the garden was lovely so it balanced out the disappointment of the room. If stayed again it would be in the main house.

Pleasant stay, underwhelming room
The room was ok though TV rather small, but the bathroom was very basic and shower pressure terrible.
Food lovely - rooms need a makeover !
The hotel is beautiful from the outside, but a bit disappointing inside, to be honest.
The food was lovely (dinner & breakfast) & the dining room & bar quite smart, but the loos were very dated, and the rooms (in the more modern bit at the back) were very tired. Rather pricey given the standard of room and tattiness of bathroom.

A hidden gem
We stayed for 2 nights whilst attending a wedding.
The location was excellent, with the river Severn at the back and lovely riverside walks. We had a few problems with our room in that the heating was inadequate and the shower didn't heat up on the first day. However, the staff were very understanding and offered another room to have a shower in (not necessarily convenient) but as it was bank holiday weekend, the maintenance chap was not available. We did get our bill discounted for the inconvenience. The room was clean with lovely white towels and bed linen

What a nice place to stay
A very late booking at a very reasonable rate.
Room booked was a single unrefurbished, but the room was a small double with a lovely view, adequate size and above expectations. Check-in & Check-out was very efficient, and The Thursday night was Steak night, which proved to be excellent. The log fire and courteous staff made it very enjoyable.

Disappointing room
The hotel looks very impressive, the reception area is beautiful but our room was a huge let down.
We paid 115 pound for a standard double room and it was abysmal. It looked and smelt like a poor standard nursing home. I really did not want to pay that amount of money for this terrible room. I was gutted. However, we were attending a wedding and did not want to spend anytime trying to upgrade. We just decided we would have to put up with the disappointment on this occasion. We could see they are upgrading some rooms but our money is hard earned, we did not experience the luxury standard that we expect. The hotel should not be charging this amount for substandard Rooms. The room was poorly decorated and furnished. Bathroom scruffy and dated. Small television on a table lower than the bed. Corridors smelt foisty. Sorry stonehouse I did not want to be negative. .

Pair who followed band face drug charges in NJJuly 18,2013FREEHOLD, N.J. — Two men who authorities say followed the band Furthur are facing drug charges in New Jersey.
Police arrested 31-year-old Adam Sacks of Mount Holly, and 21-year-old Kyle Lewis of Catskill, N.Y., after searching their motel room in Tinton Falls.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says officers found a large quantity of methamphetamine, LSD, marijuana and hashish oil. Police also confiscated more than $51,000, which prosecutors suspect were proceeds of drug sales.
The men had tickets for performances of Furthur at the PNC Arts Center in Holmdel in addition to several other shows by that group that mainly performs Grateful Dead songs.
Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni says he won't tolerate traveling drug dealers who want to follow a band.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON Many of Americas young adults appear to be in no hurry to move out of their old...

A clerk at a Woodland convenience store has been charged with forcibly raping a customer in late July.
The Cowlitz County Prosecutor's Office on Monday filed charges of second-degree rape, indecent liberties and second-degree possession of stolen property (access device) against Jaskaran Singh, 33, of La Center.
Woodland police said Singh is not his real name, but he would not tell police his true family name.
The customer, a 40-year-old Ariel woman, told Woodland police that she went into the Shell convenience store to buy beer on July 27. She said Singh grabbed her, forced her into the beer cooler and raped her. She said he repeatedly told her he liked her, but while holding her down he told her he could kill her.
Police said Singh admitted the act but claimed that the woman initially agreed to have sex with him, then changed her mind, sending him into "a sexual rage."
The woman also told police that several months earlier, Singh grabbed her breasts and offered her money for sex. She pushed him away and didn't return to the store for some time, but she didn't report the incident to police, she said. Singh verified that he grabbed her breasts against her wishes, police said.
Police said Singh had a credit card in his wallet that a man reported as stolen in June. Singh said he found the card but never used it.
His arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 9. Bail has been set at $200,000, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has placed a hold on him.

Let's Get Grounded
The most potent obstacle to the recognition of family resources is the search
for pathology.
The quote that opens this chapter was the catalyst that led one of us (SED, the "I" here) to the line of research that still holds my interest today. Well over a decade later, I am still holding the magnifying glass in search of more information about client strengths and resources in family therapy. This quote resonated with my thinking about resilience and its place in therapy. I was inspired to ask questions like: How do we get around this predominant "search for pathology" in therapy? How do we actually "recognize" family resources? How can we learn to do this as therapists? What are the implications of searching only for pathology? How often do we assume that families are not resourceful because of the problems they present with in therapy? Where do we hear about this in our coursework or training? If therapists do "recognize" family resources, how do they do this? Most importantly, how can we tap into these resources and use them in therapy? The other author (CYT) also took part in this initial research venture, which we discuss in this chapter.
Some of the questions inspired by our interest in focusing on resources in research were reflected in the research example presented in the first edition's chapter on grounded theory (Rafuls & Moon, 1996). Findings from that particular research study led to grounded theory on "resource-based consultation" (Rafuls, 1994). In practice, this has led to the development of "resource-based reflective consultation" (Echevarria-Doan, 2001)—an interventive, consultative method designed to elicit and
Silvia Echevarria-Doan was formerly known as Silvia Echevarria Rafuls.

AnthraX and the other kernels by its developers still thwart the GPL license of their Linux kernel by requiring users to sign-up to download the kernel after being "authorized" to download the file. By not widely releasing the AnthraX kernels to the public but trying to make itself a "private organization" and "internally" distributing the compiled kernel binaries via the project web-site, they go without releasing the kernel source-code while claiming GPL compliance -- if they technically aren't distributing the compiled kernel.
The issue has been brought up in months prior at GPL-Violations.org but to no avail. The lead AnthraX developer doesn't want to give out his kernel's source code reportedly over concern of other developers taking credit for his improvements and work on the kernel. There's also been claims that the kernels incorporate code that's under NDA from vendors.
Eric Appleman, an open-source developer long crusading against the project, pointed out in a new kernel mailing list thread this week about the AnthraX developers still proceeding without providing the source-code to this "private" kernel. There's also links in that mailing list thread to some of the recent Google+ posts, for those interested in some light reading this holiday week.

Maintaining stable home life critical for kids
A home in which family members treat each other with respect and work out problems together protects kids against emotional, learning and social problems later in life. Children learn how to treat others and solve conflicts based on what they see in their own lives.
If there is ongoing conflict and volatility in the home, children are more likely to display aggression, hostility and anti-social behavior; to have learning problems and depression; and have poor interpersonal relationships. That doesn't mean having differences, disagreements or problems at home is always a bad thing. How a family deals with them is important.
University of Wisconsin Extension offers these tips for creating a positive environment at home:
■ Make family your top priority. Close, strong families make a conscious decision to keep family life their No. 1 responsibility.
■ Invest time doing things with family members together or separately. In a large national study, children and young adults were asked, "What makes a happy family?" The overwhelming response was "Doing things together."
■ Don't neglect saying some important words. Close families know the power of "I forgive you," "Let's try again," and "I love you."
■ Establish and maintain family rituals. Rituals and traditions are the glue of family life. They are especially important today as family time becomes more limited. As often as possible, share meals with family members. Step-families especially need to respect pre-existing traditions and create new ones.
■ Stay connected. Be available and keep in touch with your partner and children no matter how busy you are. Children, especially, need to know you are available.
■ Teach your children how to love and be loved. Nothing is more important to a child's feeling of self-worth than the experience of being loved. Your children need to know beyond any doubt that they are lovable, that you love them and that you love each other.
■ Use words wisely. Speak to your partner and children in ways that affirm and assure, not attack or abuse.
■ Speak positively about your partner and kids, both in public and in private. The things we say about and to family members can have a powerful impact.

The Cannes Film Festival opened this year with "Grace of Monaco," and it didn't take long for the knives to come out. One of the more savaged films to open on the Croisette in recent years, reviews for the movie were dismal, with ours calling it "something of a disaster: rarely competent, unintentionally hilarious and borderline reprehensible in both its politics and its take on gender roles." In fact "Grace of Monaco" was so egregious, we chronicled The 6 Most Unintentionally Hilarious Moments from the film. But today comes a different perspective.
A ten-minute featurette has been dropped online with the film's leads, Nicole Kidman and Tim Roth, and director Olivier Dahan, taking folks behind-the-scenes of the making of the movie. From Kidman discussing getting into the head of Grace Kelly and her psychology, to Dahan admitting he doesn't like the trappings of traditional biopics, it looks at the intentions of the project ... even if they didn't always manage to reach the aspirations it set out for. But at the very least, it's a look at the movie away from the buzz and hysteria that a festival brings with it.
No word yet on a U.S. release date but you can probably count this out as an Oscar contender.

Sony Music has decided to digitally release the soundtrack of forthcoming film "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" a week before its original launch on demand from fans.
The album will have an online release June 14, and it'll be followed by the usual launch June 21. Post spectacular musical success of 2006 movie "Rang De Basanti", this is Sony Music's second project with director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
"Zinda", the first song from "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" sung by Siddharth Mahadevan, was released on YouTube May 30 followed by "Mere yaar" and "Maston ka jhund".
Sanujeet Bhujabal, marketing director, Sony Music India, said: "We released 'Zinda' two weeks ago and since then have been getting calls to release the album in its entirety."
"The video of the song has received humungous likes and comments demanding the immediate release of the entire album. We along with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra Productions have decided to make the entire album available to fans earlier. We are supremely confident of the music and want fans to have access to it as soon as possible," added Bhujabal.
