Christmas Cards
|Related Pages
We are looking for a cheap, easy place to get a family photo taken and made into holiday cards. We want the border of the cards to be completely plain--just a blank white space for a message. We used to get our photos done at JCPenney's, which was cheap and easy and did an ok job, but they stopped offering plain-bordered cards. I phoned Sears and they don't have plain-bordered cards either. I wanted to go to Picture People at the Hilltop Mall, but they no longer have a store there (or maybe they never did and I hallucinated it).
There are two portrait studios at Hilltop: Photo Magic and Picture Perfect--has anyone tried these?
I saw in the archives a few recommendations for Expressly Portraits, but they're no longer at Hilltop--does anyone know if they have another location nearby?
We're not necessarily opposed to private photographers, but they'd have to be super-cheap (JCPenney's costs about $40 for unlimited sittings for a year, plus about $1/card). Cheap, but not cheesy
Hi, I have a new Sony digital camera that I love, but I'm not sure how to get the photos from my camera to my computer. I took some great photos of my sister's kids that she wants to use for her annual Christmas card, but I need help in getting the photos to her! I've seen lots of people use photos on holiday cards - but can I use a digital photo to make them? Thanks Mary E.
Since my daughter was born, when Christmas rolls around we have been sending out those photo Christmas cards. I really like sending them as well as receiving them from others. I would like to know where other parents have gone to have their cards made and how much it cost. I used Walgreens for a while, but found their quality diminished year to year until I was very unhappy with what I got from them. Mary

Ausculta', the first word,
sets the tone of the Rule;
It means 'listen', pay attention,
be conscious and
aware of what is going on around you.
Listening wrenches us out
of the limitations of our own landscape…
calling us to something greater then ourselves…
How pertinent this is for today's world!
listen to oneself, to others, to the world
to the voice of the spirit….
we need the guidance to find our way
out of the mess we are currently in…
and the voice of the spirit can lead us.
We need to get off the arrogant platform
where we think we know,
where we think we are in control and
listen with the ear that never sleeps.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 113 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by Jasgl Bad business practice The product is fine, but the fact that "Dick's" advertised a $20.00 off and then did not give it to me is poor business. It is not listed in the exclusions that Keen is excluded. March 30, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by ggarden101 Great purchase! Excellent price. Very quick shipping. The color was as described. November 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by atlas Keens Rock! Most comfortable shoe ever worn! I wear them all the time. Wife makes me wear "dress" shoes when we go out. This is my second pair, I use my older pair for kayaking now. Dicks online ordering made for a perfect ordering process. Delivered to my door, in two days. Loved the entire process! July 26, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by wetfoot Somewhat intense?! This shoe i have worn for over a year and it has not lived up to the description. My right big toe has been smushed because i dropped a 45 lb barbell on the 'toe guard'.Also they are not water proof, after wading through the Minnesota river my foot actually got wet!! what a disgrace. July 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bill Great arch support A great sandal for walking and hiking. I also wear them sometimes when I golf. July 15, 2015

Rated 5 out of 5�by Mike Shoe was in excellent and timely shipping. Store clerk took time with me to do the job right and it was appreciated. June 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by klamby Very happy with these Keen's Make sure you try them on, or at least order 1/2 to whole size larger than your normal shoe size, they run small. Second pair of Keen Newport sandals. First pair lasted 3-4 years. They are extremely comfortable and last a long time. The soles were wearing out on one side in the back and I definitely needed a new pair. I expect this pair will last as long as the first. I've even done some light hiking in them without any problems, they have a great tread on the bottom. The only problem if you're walking or hiking in a place with a lot of pebbles or small sticks is that they will tend to get into the sandal under your feet. The closed toe is great for protection and does help prevent some of the stuff from getting in. Love these sandals, would buy them again when this second pair wears out and highly recommend them to others. June 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by bucky all good I think Dick's is a real good place I always find what I need. all good Dick's is a good place I always find what I need. May 26, 2015

I figure that it is time to finish off the photographic review of 2010 before we get too much further into 2011. In a perfect world I would have finished this series over a week ago but, life tends to get in the way of plans. This post features images from October through December 2010. At the start of this three month period we held a commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the British victory at Port Royal in 1710. The Annapolis Heritage Society was also busy with events like the Sinclair Inn Museum Haunted House and the ever popular Victorian Christmas at the O'Dell House Museum. Thanks to all of the Annapolis Heritage Society's volunteers and supporters for their work in 2010. Now it is time to see if we can make some lasting memories in 2011.
All for now,

Arizona State men's golf (281-290-294-865) finished in 13th-place at the Alister MacKenzie Inviational in Fairfax, Calif., dropping one spot in the final round. For the third straight tournament freshman Jon Rahm Rodriguez led all Sun Devil golfers.
Rahm Rodriguez (69-71-74-214), after shooting two-under through two rounds, shot a three-over par 74 Tuesday, capping his overall score at one-over par. He finished tied for 26th after being tied for 24th yesterday. Fellow-freshman Alberto Sanchez (75-76-69-220), after sitting last among ASU golfers at the start of the day, shot a two-under par 69 in the final round to tie for 56th with two golfers, one being sophomore teammate Mathias Schjoelberg (73-71-76-220). Sanchez and Schjoelberg finished seven-over par.
Freshman Max Rottluff (67-73-81-221), who began the day tied with Rahm Rodriguez in 24th-place, finished tied for 59th at eight-over par, while sophomore Austin Quick (72-75-75-222) rounded out the Sun Devil field tied for 61st, nine shots over par.

As you know I retired in 2009, and after 25 years with DoD, I net an amount of 567.00 a month after federal taxes, and this year, I got an ELEVEN DOLLAR COLA!!!. Nope I am not complaining at all……….we are fine………..and I am so grateful that we have TRICARE otherwise that 567.00 would really have dropped…………so, as I see it, there are many more federal employees with far, far less than myself after a quarter of a century devoted to DoD………….I am sure that some would add, that because we also get SS, and TSP that it makes up for the small amount of the OPM pay…………….well, that is the FERS system………..and that is how it is done, but as I said, I believe I am also among the majority of those retirees in regard to dollar amounts…………..and there should not be a comparison to the military retirees loss vs "generous benefits" (of which I don't see). I may not receive a lot after 25 years………but YEP, it is those in uniform that really stand to lose. Military retired pay and Federal retired pay mix about at much as oil and water.

You know what we really wish we had? A way to get beer without leaving the pool, especially one cleverly disguised as a giant piece of fishing tackle. And that makes The Big Bobber Floating Cooler ($25) proof that dreams really can come true. Showing up with it to the party will also make us the coolest Fishing Wives on the planet, which commendation will almost certainly be worth a foot rub or two.

You might notice that in the subtitle of this book, we call it a tale. You might also notice that it is a collection of images, rather than words. We'd like to clarify here. Throughout our years of art education, we've done more than meet assignment requirements. We've worked hard at all hours of the day (and most of the hours of the night) to make images that we're proud of: Images that we hope will lead us into successful practices, careers, and lives. At times it's been a desperate struggle to make deadlines, and get good grades. At other times we flew high on the delight and hope (and if we're being honest, relief) that came at the times when we were finally happy with the things we were making.
For us, these images tell this story: Of the friendships we made while making them, of the hard times and the good times, the occasional desolation and the constant desire for our dreams to come to fruition. We offer up this book as a record and a tale of these times so that we might never forget how we started. We hope you will enjoy it.
We are a group of friends trying to make it out there in the professional field.

I am planning to make a public shell server. What things should I modify to secure my server. Please tell me general things to check
In order to helpfully answer this, we need to know more about your user base and the activities you want to allow. How much do you know and trust your users and what are their expectations for stability, flexibility, and functionality?
No matter what, one of your the largest issues is going to be identity assurance — how do you know the people who are using user accounts are the people who are supposed to be? And in that, passwords are your enemy. At minimum, require SSH keys for login, and if this is a big deal, seriously consider RSA SecurID, Yubikey, WiKiD, or some other form of two-factor authentication system.
Google is your friend: http://www.wikihow.com/Secure-a-Linux-Server
I'd look into setup up a chrooted jail for your "shell" users so that they only have access to what they need and they cannot "get out" into the real filesystem, as the "root" of their filesystem is restricted to just their "jail".

Beethoven's Symphony No 5
Written by ina on Saturday, 26 of April , 2008 at 9:37 am
Tags: beethoven, classical, ICR, music
"Radiant beams shoot through the deep night of this region, and we become aware of gigantic shadows which, rocking back and forth, close in on us and destroy all within us except the pain of endless longing—a longing in which every pleasure that rose up amid jubilant tones sinks and succumbs. Only through this pain, which, while consuming but not destroying love, hope, and joy, tries to burst our breasts with a full-voiced general cry from all the passions, do we live on and are captivated beholders of the spirits."
So were the words of E.T.A. Hoffman, a year and a half after the premiere performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 — which was part of a program that was over 4 hours long, which by the end exhausted both audience and performers, and the big B had to stop and restart the music. Yet this particular symphony is perhaps one of the most well-known pieces of European classical music, and although first performed in Beethoven's later years, in his impending physical deafness, it is immortal in its own way: its triplet-half note motif repeated throughout the eras from disco to rock and roll to Morse code letter V for victory - dot-dot-dot-dash. Here's Beethoven's Symphony No 5, as performed by the Skidmore College Orchestra:

As expected, just a day after Microsoft announced it sold 3 million Xbox One units by the end of 2013, Sony revealed that the platform holder had pushed out 4.2 million PlayStation 4 systems by year's end, according to a report today from GameSpot.
Sony made the announcement at the International Consumer Electronics Show this week in Las Vegas, saying as of Dec. 28 they had sold-through to consumers 1.2 million more PS4 units than Microsoft with the Xbox One.
Microsoft's Yusuf Mehdi, corporate vice president of marketing, strategy and business for Xbox, made the announcement yesterday, saying that with the milestone the Xbox One has "ushered in a new era of games and entertainment."
You can read that full Examiner report by clicking here.
However, Valve co-founder Gabe Newell shrugged off the Xbox One figures during a question and answer session at CES today, joking that "it it'd take a while" for Microsoft to catch up to the 65 million Steam subscribers.
You can read that full Examiner report by clicking here.
The figures combined come to more than 7 million next-gen consoles out on the gaming market at the present time, a stat that Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon championed as a sign of the vitality of the console industry.

In the feature-film drama "Gimme Shelter" (based on a true story), a teenager named Agnes "Apple" Bailey (played by Vanessa Hudgens) runs away from her drug-addicted and abusive mother June Bailey (played by Rosario Dawson) in search of the father she never met: a successful business executive named Tom Kirkpatrick (played by Brendan Fraser). It's around this time that Apple finds out that she is pregnant. Forced into the streets in a desperate journey of survival, Apple discovers a new meaning of family and life at a local teen shelter where she bonds with a group of girls just like herself.
"Gimme Shelter" was written, produced and directed by Ronald Knauss, who actually lived at a New Jersey shelter (founded by Kathy DiFiore) for teenage girls, and the shelter serves as the inspiration for the movie's story. Ann Dowd plays DiFiore in "Gimme Shelter." The Apple Bailey character is based on two girls who lived at the shelter. Hudgens and Dawson both went through dramatic physical transformations to play their respective characters in the movie, but "Gimme Shelter" also changed them emotionally. Here is what Hudgens said when I caught up with her during a roundtable interview that she did with me and other journalists at the New York City press junket for "Gimme Shelter."
Can you talk about how you really committed to your role as Apple in "Gimme Shelter"?
Where do I start? I feel like it's so rare to read a script with subject matter like this one, where right off the bat, it was such a fearless project, and that's so enticing. And it's rare to read a character like this, one that is fully transformational and really called for a lot of work and a lot of diving into pain. But because it was something that I hadn't done, I totally welcomed it. I was very excited to put that work into it — very willing. Ron [Krauss] was my fearless leader who guided me very step of the way.
What can you say about the girls from the shelter whom you lived with and who are also in "Gimme Shelter"?
They're amazing. These are some of the strongest women I know. I've never met anyone like these girls before. They were natural actresses. And I was so proud. I got to feel like I was proud of their growth. I was just so proud of them.
What was it like to live at the shelter for a few weeks?
It was interesting for me, especially in the beginning. I had never been around young teens who are pregnant or just had their babies. I mean, I'd always heard about it, but I'd never gotten to experience it firsthand. In the shelter, Kathy is very religious, so she ha pictures of Jesus and prayers up all over the place. It was just a completely different environment.
And they said, "No cell phones." So the first thing I did was run up to my room and call my mom and say, "Why on earth am I doing this project again?" And of course, once I get over that initial shock and got out of the way of myself and realized that it's not about me, it's about the work and diving in, it was one of the most amazing experiences.
I would work on the script, and I knew that if I had any questions about anything, I could go to the girls and ask them what their real opinion is. None of it was ever forced. It was always the truth, because I had them to bounce things off of.
Was it hard to go out of character when you weren't filming?
At the time, I didn't think so. At the time, I was so thrilled and excited and liberated every day by doing the work that we were doing that I was on such a high all the time. But when I got home from filming, I realized that I didn't know how to be Vanessa anymore. I looked in the mirror, and all I saw was my character. Apple was my security clutch. It took me a while to find myself again. I didn't know how deep I was into it until it was over.
Did it affect your dreams? Did you dream that you were Apple?
No, I didn't. If I did, it doesn't pop out to me, but I would wake up feeling like her. It was more of a reality than just a dream.
How did "Gimme Shelter" change you in any way?
It's really helped me grow. I've never had the opportunity to work this hard at something. It's really tested my focus in a way that I've never had to use before. It made me grow as a person and seeing how much we have to help out, seeing how important it is to connect with people, to not be quick to judge people. It's helped me grow spiritually.
I think it's so important to look at the big picture. Time is so precious and it's so short, and we're all put on this earth for a very specific reason. And what that is, maybe we won't know until we're on our deathbed. But I do think it's important to search and be the best person you can be, because it's so sad when people fall from a place where they have a great opportunity. I just think it's really important to take care of yourself.
You're doing very different roles from what you initially made you famous, so has broadening your acting range changed what kinds of scripts you've been getting?
So far, I haven't seen any scripts that I love. It hasn't done much yet. I'm so picky though. I've always been extremely picky. I'm very luckily in a place where I can be.
It's an exciting time, for sure. I'm just proud of myself that I could prove it to my own craft that I could do something like that. But it's always a time of growth, and I feel like it's always going to be challenging for me to push myself. That's why I love doing what I do.
Where there any particular stories or people that helped you transform into the character of Apple Bailey? Did any of those stories didn't end up in the movie, but you internalized them and it helped you portray this character?
One of the girls in the shelter that Apple is based off of and her events with her mother, a lot worse happened with her mom, but they're too graphic to even put them up to the screen. Just ask Ron. Her stories and her strength and her openness and just the radiance that she had really stuck with me. She became really close to me, and we're still friends. Her son is one of my favorites as well, but she was definitely a driving force in my heart when it came to Apple.
In "Gimme Shelter," James Earl Jones plays a clergyman named Frank McCarthy, who has a big impact on Apple's life. What was it like working with him?
So cool! I would just be so excited when he showed up to set, because you know he's there by that voice. You don't even need to see him come in; you just hear him. There's no one else on the planet who sounds like that man. He's just incredible. He's such a brilliant actor. His work speaks for itself.
You gained weight and you cut your hair very short for your role in "Gimme Shelter." Can you talk about those choices?
I personally wanted to make her as gritty as possible, especially in the beginning, because I feel it has more of a powerful effect when you start to see her grow and turn into a young woman and have her baby. It's way more drastic that way.
A lot of things I pulled out of my pockets and put on the table, and Ron enjoyed it, for the most, but it was just about making it as raw and gritty as I could think it to be — my own interpretation, I guess.
What was it like to cut your hair so short and to gain weight?
So liberating. So much fun. I love food! I was in Cannes before I filmed this movie. And I was there for a decent amount of time. In France, it's very easy to put on a couple of pounds. And I could live off of wine and cheese. It's not the healthiest combination.
What's your relationship like with the real Kathy DiFiore?
Great. I would go to her whenever I needed a little bit of strength, and I'd know that she was secretly praying for me when I didn't know. She's the most selfless person I ever met in my entire life and just such an inspiration. She would definitely take me off a couple of times, just the two of us, and throw me some inspirational words.
And what was it like to work with Ann Dowd, who portrays Kathy DiFiore?
She's great. She's one of those actors you see in different films, and she's consistently good. She's amazing. I love her career. I love that you can watch her in so many different films, and she's just a standout actor, but not all the people in the street go running and scream her name out. That's the ideal career, I think.
She's incredible. She came in and did her thing. We didn't have much time to spend together. I feel like for the most part of the movie, I was just really focused on the work and the character. I wasn't necessarily thinking about connecting with people.
Speaking of connecting, how was it to live without your cell phone while you were at the shelter?
I definitely used my phone. I'm in my early 20s. I can't get away from that thing, especially in this day and age. I weaned myself off of it, for sure, as much as I can.
And when I'm working, I'm not on it for every much as well, because I'm not really checking in with anyone. I'm just kind of there for the work itself. So I was definitely cut off from the world I was used to. But in the beginning, I was definitely trying to go on a bit of a bender.
What do you hope people will take away from seeing "Gimme Shelter"?
There are so many things. I think it provokes a lot of feelings that maybe people have gone through, maybe people have suppressed. I mean, we all have pain. It's just that our situations are different. So hopefully, it will help you bring those emotions back up and allow you to sit with it, and by doing so, bring some healing.
I think it shows that sometimes we're exactly where we're meant to be, even when we're in a lot of pain and a lot of suffering. Those moments are the moments that really push us to our real destiny and help us find love for ourselves. And that you're not the only one going through these things. I hope that teenagers see this and hopefully be inspired, that it will give them hope and faith. There are so many things.
What are your upcoming projects?
I have a movie in October [2014] called "Kitchen Sink," which I'm really excited about. After doing ["Gimme Shelter"] and "The Frozen Ground" and "Spring Breakers," I was like, "I need to do a comedy." So I did my first comedy. It's really funny. I'm really excited about it. I was just such a giddy little girl coming home from work every day going, "I'm funny!"
What's "Kitchen Sink" about?
It's set in high school. It follows a couple of high school students at a time when zombies, vampires and humans live together as harmoniously as they can. An interesting group gets stuck together to survive their situation. It's kind of a cross between "Shaun of the Dead" and "The Breakfast Club." It's fun. It's really cool. I'm really excited about it. And I get to be way more glamorous in that one, which was fun as well, because I am a girly girl at the end of the day.
One of the messages in "Gimme Shelter" is that money can't buy happiness. Many famous entertainers and artists say that they aren't fulfilled by money, but by the work that they do. What makes you fulfilled as an actress, in terms of what kind of work you like to do?
Stories that I'm passionate about and characters that I can really explore and have fun playing. And also, the people who you're working with. The work environment is only as good as the people you surround yourself with — just the people and fun characters and variety.
I'm not that picky, but I am. I feel like, at the end of the day, I listen to my gut. And if my gut, my heart is telling me the green light, I go for it. But that's what I listen to first and foremost.
Did you watch parts of "Gimme Shelter" before it was finished or did you wait until the movie was finished before you say any of it?
I didn't think about it, to be honest with you. I don't even think we had monitors. We were doing this so low-budget that it was like, "Go as you can. Get as much done as you can, and hope for the best."
But yeah, I didn't see anything [before the movie was finished]. It's taken me a while to watch myself it playback. Just recently, I started to do that.
Why did it take you a while to watch yourself in playback?
It's easy to be self-conscious and get in your own head, rather than be present in the moment about the acting.

Taylor Swift Breaking Up One Direction, Says Mag
Taylor Swift may be "breaking up" One Direction, reports In Touch.
Taking a cue from The Sun — which may have been ill-advised — the tabloid claims Harry Styles' bandmates are concerned she'll "tear them apart."
A supposed "band source" tells the tabloid the pair's relationship is "cause for worry," noting, "None of the boys want a girl to come between the band, but Harry and Taylor are enamored of each other."
So what?
The mag goes on to claim that since Swift has a reputation for "jumping from one romance to the next," the singer could "wreak havoc on Harry's emotions."
In Touch's "insider" explains, "They're the biggest boy band in the world right now, and next year is huge for them. They'll be going on a world tour from February until October."
"What if Harry is distracted by heartbreak?" wonders the source.
(Pause for laughter).
OK, now that you've composed yourself, let's recap.
The mag's alleged insider is saying that if Swift and Styles split, he will be so devastated that he won't be able to perform.
The insinuation is beyond ridiculous — even by the tab's standards.
Regardless, a One Direction insider laughed off the silly story to Gossip Cop, telling us it's "a joke."

Everyone loves browsing at a Farmer's Market. The produce is right there in front of you, and you can sometimes talk directly to the actual farmer who grew them. And it's a social occasion: you can talk to other people about the produce and their ideas for cooking it. Typically the produce is priced as organic groceries are: high. But you are getting fresh food right from the truck and you get this warm feeling of being one with nature.
But eventually, you start to worry whether this is really such an energy efficient idea. Brian Dunning wrote about this last year, and this is much the same argument. A Farmer's Market is a patch of land where a bunch of farmers come every week with a truckload of their fresh produce. If there are say 20 farmers there (and some markets are lots bigger than that), that means that there are 20 trucks making round trips each week.
And guess what? In populous suburbs like Fairfield County, the farmers all go to another market the next day! In fact, in our county there are at least 22 Farmer's Markets that both you and many of your favorite farmers go to. Could this possibly be efficient?
A more energy efficient model would be for a single truck to start at, say, 6 am and make the rounds of the farmers, picking up their produce and bringing to a central market, where it is sold by experienced personnel. And, as Dunning suggests, they don't have to drive back at night. They donate the leftover produce to a food bank or perhaps a community compost pile, if it is too far gone.
And that central market? It's called a grocery store. The produce is every bit as fresh, but since the farmer's expenses are greatly reduced, the food may be cheaper to the consumer.
And, of course, there could be several trucks making the rounds so that several markets are served at once. But isn't that less efficient? Yes, and here is where distribution systems work out better. Those trucks that pick up all the produce could deliver them instead to a central warehouse, and a single truck then goes to each grocery store or temporary market.
The same fresh produce is there by early morning and in the stores or markets by late morning, and it will probably be in better condition, since better insulated trucks can be used.
Of course, we already have exactly this system, and local grocers have fresh produce every day in just the same way. But then you don't get to see the farmers! No, but you can see both the farmers and their farms every year if you take advantage of events like the Easton Farm Tour.
And here's the unfortunate little secret of our lovely Farmer's Markets. A lot of them are open only one weekday, when working people can't get there. So they mostly serve the comfortable upper middle classes, who have the means to get any kind of food they want. Fortunately everyone has access to grocery stores.
Think about all the energy all these trips waste and you'll realize that a better system is at our fingertips!

Okay, we'll admit it. We went to see Titanic in 3D even though we've seen the flick a million times since it first hit theaters in 1997. Who doesn't have a soft spot for young Leo?! Luckily, the closest we'll ever come to being a passenger is carrying around the Kate Spade All Aboard Ship Clutch ($250, on sale). It seems a touch safer than iceberg-filled waters!

PEARL – Donations are now being accepted for what is being called the worst natural disaster to hit the State of Mississippi since Hurricane Katrina. The storm that ripped through central Mississippi's rural area killed 10 people and damaged many homes and businesses.
The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency has received numerous calls from individuals and organizations who would like to aid in relief efforts.
To accommodate those locally wanting to help, the Hinds County Sheriff's Department has set up an 18 wheeler truck at the Mississippi State Fairgrounds to accept non-perishable food, bottled water, clothing and bedding and other items to aid in relief efforts for storm victims. A donation center has also been set up in Yazoo City at 1601 County Barn Road.
The Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service has asked that charities, businesses and individuals who would like to volunteer to register at www.volunteermississippi.org or call (888) 353-1793. MCVS has asked that volunteers stand by until they are contacted.
For more information on how to donate or volunteer, call 888-353-1793 or visit msema.org.

Richmond Police Department Re-Orders ICOP Units
LENEXA, KS - (PR NEWSWIRE) - ICOP Digital, Inc. (Nasdaq:ICOP; NYSE Arca:ICOP), a leading provider of digital in-car video systems for law enforcement, announced today that the Richmond Police Department in Indiana has reordered additional ICOP Model 20/20 for its ongoing patrol fleet roll-out.
Kris Wolski, Chief of Police of the Richmond P.D., noted, "Having recently re-ordered additional ICOP Model 20/20 units for our fleet, I can say without hesitation that it is the best in-car video system on the market. Our experience with the unit has been great, and we look forward to placing additional orders in the near future to continue our fleet roll-out of the system. One feature that makes the ICOP Model 20/20 so attractive to us is the fact that we can purchase a unit today, receive the unit within a day or two, and quickly install it in one of our patrol cars. Considering installation takes only about 45 minutes, the vehicle does not incur any material down time."
"We determined early on that it would be essential for ICOP to employ rapid turnaround on purchase orders to achieve superior customer servicing and a greater competitive edge in the market, thus our early decision to ramp-up our inventory. We are pleased that our customers are recognizing the deployment advantage that this represents," stated Dave Owen, Chief Executive Officer of ICOP.

Gil Clancy was the trainer of many world champions and is probably best known for guiding the hall-of-fame careers of Emile Griffith and Rodrigo Valdes during the sixties and seventies. Ironically, both Griffith and Valdes fought middleweight champion Carlos Monzon twice each during his reign as champ circa 1970-77. Griffith, after being stopped by Monzon during their first fight in 1971, lost a disputed decision to him in their rematch 21 months later. Valdes was the only fighter to drop Monzon as champ when he turned the trick during the second round of their July 1977 rematch. So it should come as no surprise that one of the greatest middleweight champs of all-time was given two of the toughest fights during his reign as champ by fighters trained by Gil Clancy.
With Clancy's passing last week the accolades have been pouring in. Gil loved to talk boxing and I remember having him on my ESPN 1490 radio show in the late nineties after George Foreman lost a controversial decision to Shannon Briggs in what turned out to be George's last fight. We discussed how terrible the decision was in that bout, which led us to talking about the careers of both Foreman and Gerry Cooney. Gil intimated that Gerry Cooney could've been a great heavyweight had he only believed it himself. He also went into how if Foreman could punch as fundamentally correctly as Jerry Quarry, he would've never lost to anyone.
During the conversation regarding Foreman's physical strength and career, Gil went on about how a trainer should never change a fighter from being who he really is as a fighter. And that Angelo Dundee's greatest asset to Muhammad Ali was the fact that despite immense pressure, he never attempted to convert Muhammad Ali into a by the book boxer/fighter. That took me back a little because if there ever was one miscalculation that Clancy did strategically to a fighter, it was him changing George Foreman's style from a catch-an-kill aggressor into a wait and react counter-puncher after he lost his undisputed heavyweight title to Muhammad Ali in "The Rumble In The Jungle."
As everyone knows, Foreman dismissed his trainer Dick Saddler after he lost to Ali. At that time Foreman was blaming everyone but himself after the fight. George was embarrassed that he punched himself out against Ali and thought he should've been better prepared for Ali's rope-a-dope style. This was a strategy that failed miserably against "Smokin" Joe Frazier in the "Fight Of The Century" three years earlier. Enter Gil Clancy, who was hired by Foreman to replace Saddler and help him prepare for an impending rematch with Ali.
The first fight Clancy worked with Foreman was his comeback bout against the underrated boxer and big punching Ron Lyle. Foreman, under Clancy, fought more in a more measured fashion and didn't go all out and attack Lyle. The thought was George would conserve his energy and have more stamina for later in the fight if he didn't get the early knockout. The only problem with that was - Lyle almost took Foreman's head off in the process. Finally, out of desperation, Foreman reverted back to the pre-Zaire version of himself and knocked Lyle out in the fifth round. In his subsequent fights against Joe Frazier, Scott LeDoux, Dino Dennis and Pedro Agosto, the measured Foreman looked like a more finished fighter. However, what was hidden in the victories over Frazier, LeDoux, Dennis and Agosto was, Foreman could easily jab their heads off from the outside without really having to push the fight. And if by chance they'd try to change things up and bring the fight to him, it only sped up the inevitable and got them knocked out sooner. In those fights between Lyle and Agosto, the supposed new George Foreman looked like he was ready to dethrone the aging and physically declining champ, Muhammad Ali.
In March of 1977, after beating five consecutive contenders by stoppage, Foreman met third ranked Jimmy Young. If George could beat Young, Ali would have to make his next title defense against the top ranked heavyweight in the world, George Foreman. Young, a slick boxer, was thought to be the perfect tune-up fight to help get Foreman ready for Ali's style. Against Young, Foreman wouldn't attack. Instead he'd fight at a measured pace (under Clancy's instruction) and hope to draw Young to him and nail him with big counters. Only Young didn't go for it. For the first five rounds while Foreman was laying back and looking to conserve his stamina and land the perfect shot, Young peppered George with straight lefts and rights while he was winning the rounds. In the seventh round a desperate and tiring Foreman caught Young with a big left-hook that knocked Jimmy across the ring. Foreman tried to finish Young in a somewhat measured fashion because Clancy embedded it into his head that he shouldn't go all out. And because of that Young survived the round and his confidence escalated.
In the other corner, Foreman appeared concerned and caught in-between styles. For the last five rounds of the fight Foreman fought just hard enough not to punch himself out, but not hard enough to prevent Young from picking his spots and flurrying in spurts and winning the rounds. The fight went the distance and Young won a deserved unanimous decision. Six months later Earnie Shavers, not Foreman, challenged Ali for the title at Madison Square Garden. Shavers gave Ali a tough fight, but Muhammad eventually prevailed and would make what turned out to be the last successful title defense of his career. Had Clancy not changed Foreman's style, more than likely there's Ali-Foreman II.
In the years since the Foreman-Young bout, it has been speculated by many what would've happened if George fought Ali a second time. Well, there shouldn't be any speculation what so ever about how it would've turned out. If a measured and counter-punching Foreman couldn't beat Jimmy Young, he would have never defeated Ali fighting that style. Clancy changing Foreman's style looked as if it initially worked, and at the time Gil was receiving plenty of praise for re-inventing George Foreman. The only problem was, the fighter Clancy was brought in to help George beat ended up being the beneficiary of his new wait and react style. Had Foreman not changed his style and tore into Young like he did the first forty opponents of his career, Jimmy Young wouldn't have got out of the third round with him - and Ali would've met Foreman in a rematch in September of 1977 instead of Earnie Shavers.
The bottom line is, Foreman was an attacker. If you make him box and taper his aggression, he's no longer George Foreman. The only way George was going to beat Young and have a chance to beat Ali in a rematch was to go after them and be driven by his strength and punching power. Foreman didn't lose to Ali because of his style. He lost to Ali because Muhammad had one of the greatest bodies and chins in heavyweight history. It wasn't like Ali was out-boxing George and Foreman couldn't get to him. It was purely the case of Ali being durable enough to take his Sunday punch. And had that not been the case, Muhammad Ali would've been stopped during the "Rumble In The Jungle." So there was no need to try and re-invent George Foreman. His style worked for him, and only Ali could've survived the wrecking machine version of Foreman. The last way in the world you'd ever advise Foreman to fight Ali would be to go at him in a measured way and then react to what he does. Because of Ali's reach and speed the fight would've been like Muhammad and George playing tag. And George would've been "it" the whole fight and lost.
Sure, when Foreman made his comeback 10 years after losing to Young, he had success fighting at a slower pace. But that pace wasn't by design, it was more because George was older, slower and less powerful in his late thirties opposed to his mid to late twenties. And he was out-boxed by Evander Holyfield and Tommy Morrison fighting at a measured pace and not going for the kill during his second career.
Gil Clancy was a great boxing trainer. That's part of history and has been well documented over the last 50 years. However, Clancy made a monumental miscalculation strategically when he took over for Dick Saddler and began training Foreman after he lost to Ali. The thing Gil admired most about Angelo Dundee was that he didn't change Ali from who he was as a fighter, which is the exact opposite of how he approached Foreman with the intent being to defeat Ali in a proposed rematch.

Agreed. Funny I was just watching Foreman-Young over at YouTube a week ago, along with his fights with Chuvalo and this really tall and skinny guy that resembled a white Steve Urkel. Foreman was a beast against Chuvalo and actually looked quick against that tall guy. Against Young and Lyle he looked very average. I never knew the story about Gil Clancy deliberately changing Foreman's style. I just figured that Foreman was either way past it and didn't have it anymore or he simply never recovered psychologically after the Ali fight and became hesitant. It makes perfect sense. Each fighter is different. Pacquiao is/was an attacker, too, but Roach turned him into a perfect boxer/puncher.
Wow! I never really thought about this sweet science edge-ee-mocation [sic], but Masterscribe weaver F-Lo is super spot on. Da late, Gil "da kill..." vehemently believed that da [Rev.] George F needed to slow down, and this way he would be even most powerful and crushing dangerous. Wow! Some of the best laid plans don't [and didn't] work. This is why I have mad luv for this Universe. Scribes can get those toenails in an adroitly weaved piece and BIG TIME school ya, never try to fool ya. @FJC, Da Manny has never been an attacker. He is get backer and a finisher. When a fighter attacker him, he smothers the attack and fires back, and if his rush hurt you, 95 percent of the time, he will finish you. As you know, only Juan Manuel Marquez managed to survive against the small, starved down PacMan.
The Grand Master Coach Freddie "Top Notch Trainer, No Joke" Roach enchanted, improved and added on to Da Manny's style. Freddie made absolutely no changes. Freddie learned from his mentor, the late, great trainer, Eddie Futch, that you don't fix what ain't broken. Great trainers don't have archetype fighters. Gil "da kill..." was GREAT! He made a misjudgement that F-Lo has pointed out. Taking the rush and crush outta a beast will exposed him. The late, great Gil "da kill..." made an error. He inadvertently stripped the beast of the beast's best weapons -- rushin,' cussin' and crushin.' Freddie "Always Ready Coach No Joke" Roach doesn't change 'em, he just correct 'em and enchant 'em! He is DA MAN, who always has a PLAN! Holla!
Nice argument. But perhaps you're ignoring the great success that Foreman had in his second career, i.e. preacher Foreman. I've always thought the second Foreman was a great fighter, he had underrated defense that got the job done, he had a great chin that could withstand the power of Moorer and Holyfield all night long, and best of all, he knew how to conserve his energy. That defense of putting up your hands away from the face and trying to swat away punches rather than covering up (ala Clottey) takes major balls and chin to implement.
I think Clancy was right but he was too early. George was not ready for this mature style because he was still listening to his inner beast that told him to go for the kill at all costs. Once he matured, he knew how to stay back and let the opponents dictate the fight, knowing he had the one-shot killing power.
@RG - You're spot on! I've always thought Manny was a great counter puncher rather than an all-out attacker. His little step back to the left and left straight was working all night long in the Margarito fight.
George was never going to be successful fighting at a measured pace as a counter puncher like Joe Louis, he didn't have the hand speed or laser accuracy for it. Foreman was a seek n' destroy bludgeoning slugger with freakish strength and punching power. The 73-74 Foreman was a monster. I agree completely with the main points here that a) Ali only survived the prime Foreman because of his great chin and athleticism. b) that Foreman was at his best as an attacker. It is that version of Foreman that would be feared by most heavyweights had they met in the ring and c) that George was successful fighting at a more measured pace when he was older but he really didnt have a choice and also he was outboxed by Holyfield and Morrison fighting as an older man in that style. The young 25 year old Foreman who came to kill knocks them both out on the same night.
I have to disagree with this the thesis of this article, that it was somehow Gil's fault for Foreman's failures after the Ali loss. Young George had all the physical tools to be the champion of his time, but he needed spiritual guidance or a clinical psychologist more than a trainer in those early days. He had not yet transcended the anger, confusion and insecurities of his youth back then. Despite his early brutish conquests, George Foreman was at heart fragile and underconfident BEFORE he stepped in with Ali in Zaire. After Ali, YG was a wreck. If Dundee had left Ali to train young George, it still would have done no good. A Summit of Giants in Foreman's corner that included Gil Clancy, Cus D'Amato, Archie Moore and Angelo Dundee could not have made young George do what he was psychologically and sprititually unequipped to do at that time. Also, I have to say that this article is poorly timed. I don't want to hear about any of Gil's supposed "failures" just days after his death. I do not appreciate it.
Gil was right. It just took George 20 years to prove it. End of story.
Danggit! FJC, you have some mad killer instinct. Hehehehehe! Foreman walking out on the spot and not waiting for "20 more years to regain his..." title from "a blown up light heavyweight with no chin for Foreman..." is coldhearted. [How many other fighters have kayoed Michael "Master of Misery" Moorer at any weight?] Be NICE, man. Let Gil, "da kill, always work and always will" body get cold and bury first. Chillax, GUYS! He who has never been wrong, cast the first stone and just sing a song: "Ya got knocked da fudge out!" I luv this Universe. Agreeing to disagree is da BOMB! I partly agree with both of you guys. Holla!
David Tua in one round. Evander Holyfield in a retirement after the eight. The MM Man, Moorer chin was not that weak, besides Rev. George F and Tua hit him with lucky never-saw-it-coming punches. The luckiest punch in history is Rocky Marciano's sneak right that put Jersey Joe Walcott into a deep sleep. The second one would be Mike Weaver clocking "Big" John Tate in the 15th round. The third, IMHO, is "Big" [Rev.] George Foreman suckering Mike Moorer in to moving in range to get the fudge KO'd. Somebody up in this TSSU oughta give his list of the luckest kayo punches of all time. Holla!
Don't forget Moorer was knocked down twice or more by Bert Cooper in the 90's version of Foreman-Lyle. And it wasn't like Cooper caught Moorer the way Cooper caught Holyfield. Moorer cannot take a punch.
your right FighterforJC,.. but he sure could throw one.
Good call F4JC. Moorer-Cooper was one hell of a brawl. If anyone has not seen this fight go watch it right now. Too bad Cooper got hooked on the crack. If Cooper was active today he would.....get pounded by a K brother. Bert would beat everyone else around, including David Haye. Cooper was like a poor mans Mike Tyson. He scared the crap out of me when he fought my man Holyfield. He was this close to being the champ that night in Atlanta.

Meredith Farkas wrote a piece in LJ about her librarian bloggers survey that had us all discussing the usefulness of blogging surveys…again.
Meredith Farkas – "Oh boy, this is going to be quite a week!"
Farkas – "What I love most about the library blogosphere is that we're not judged by our CVs, but by the content of our writing."
Meredith is my favorite librar* blogger of all time. Hands down. Luv ya!
Oh Meredith, how I love your blog posts – "[B]y dismissing critics or simplifying their arguments, we only make our own arguments less convincing."
From her survey results, she says: "Want to be happy? Well, you may want to become a school librarian, work in a law library or work for a consortium or library system, because those three got the highest scores for job satisfaction. Corporate and public librarians had the lowest levels of job satisfaction."
Yay for Law Librarian Bloggers. 🙂
Meredith is updating her survey. Take a few moments and fill it out.
Learn RSS the library way from two of the pros in the biz.
Meredith Farkas – "After reading Jennifer's post, I immediately drafted an e-mail to the Dean of the FSU College of Information, Larry Dennis. I got an e-mail from him that he had forwarded my e-mail on to a colleague, so we'll see what happens. Maybe they'll find the idea of me teaching a class laughable."
Meredith, as always, is my hero. I take risks as often as I can. It's scary, fun, exacerbating, and worth every second put into it.

Umniah, Plug and Play launch program to bring Jordanian startups to Silicon Valley
Startups in Jordan now have a new opportunity to receive support from Silicon Valley.
Umniah, a Jordanian telecom company, and Plug and Play Tech Center, a California-based incubator, have announced the Umniah-Plug and Play Tech Accelerator Program, which will bring select Jordanian startups to the Valley to receive three months of training.
The ICT Association of Jordan (int@j) and USAID are also joining as partners to support ICT startups in Jordan.
"Plug and Play got in contact with Umniah about trying to bring five companies to Silicon Valley to be incubated at Plug and Play," explains Abed Shamlawi, CEO of int@j. "Then we found out about it and decided to support the program. Once USAID also got involved, the number of companies was expanded from 5 to 15 companies."
The program, which officially launched on July 3, aims to bring three to five Jordanian startups to Plug and Play's headquarters in Sunnyvale every three months, in hopes of graduating 15 by the end of next year.
"Silicon Valley is the place for the top leaders of the ICT global ecosystem," says Shamlawi. "So a linkage between Jordan and Silicon valley is a good thing for us, and that's why we're encouraging it."
For Plug and Play, the move marks a return to supporting startups in the Middle East; although the incubator has hosted events in partnership with TechWadi, its presence in the Arab world dwindled once activities at Plug and Play Egypt were put on hold not long after its launch in 2011. Last year, the incubator announced plans to build five centers that would serve as bridges between the Arab world and Silicon Valley; this partnership may be a start.
How it Works
Incubation will begin with a 4-day workshop introducing entrepreneurs to Silicon Valley's ecosystem, providing a legal and tax overview and advice on pitching to investors, leveraging networks, and examining local case studies.
Over the next three months, companies wlll receive coaching and mentorship on how to hone their business plans and connect with corporate partners. Each team will be assigned a "business relationship manager" who will track milestones. Companies also have access to office space, business resources, networking events, and several benefits and services.
Although incubation doesn't come with any funding from Plug and Play, "The chance of getting funding is high from other business partnerships," says Shamlawi. At the close of the program, each company can pitch their startup or product to investors and corporate partners at the Plug and Play EXPO.
"Our hope is for startups to discover their true global potential in Silicon Valley and identify the right path to get there," says Mohannad El-Khairy, International Relations Manager at Plug and Play.
What's critical for gaining acceptance, he says, is that startups have a clear plan in mind. "Our advice to applicants is to clearly map out their goals and objectives to come to Silicon Valley."
Applications for the first round are due by the first week of August. Shortlisted startups will then pitch their ideas to a jury for acceptance into the program. interested startups can apply here.

Notts on brink of win
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
Nottinghamshire will return to the Emirates Durham ICG tomorrow requiring just one wicket for victory in Division One of the LV= County Championship despite 80 from captain Phil Mustard.
Notts could only add 104 to their overnight 231 for four as Mitchell Claydon struck four times in three overs to complete figures of 4-84 and leave Durham with a mammoth victory target of 368.
Their reply started appallingly as Andre Adams struck three times to reduce them to 54 for six, but Mustard and Scott Borthwick brought stability to the innings with a partnership of 58.
The latter eventually departed for 22, bowled by Andy Carter, and the attacking Calum Thorp was stumped by Chris Read off Samit Patel to leave Durham on the brink.
Mustard's aggressive 103-ball innings, which included 12 fours and two maximums, came to an end in the requested extra half-hour when he became Adams' fourth victim, but Graham Onions and Claydon added an unbroken 23 to take the game into the final day.
Onions was on 15 and Claydon 18 as Durham closed on 203 for nine, needing another 165 to win.
Defending champions Lancashire lost in their first game of the championship season by 10 wickets to Sussex at Aigburgh.
The Red Rose's task of avoiding defeat was stiff; they were 91 runs in arrears overnight on 95 for four.
Lancashire initially batted impressively this morning as Ashwell Prince and Luke Procter moved their partnership on to 88, during which Prince was dropped by Steve Magoffin.
But, after England spinner Monty Panesar snared Procter, Australian seamer Magoffin made amends by dismissing Prince for 58, and the hosts then collapsed.
Magoffin completed his five-wicket haul by dismissing Glen Chapple, and Panesar removed Sajid Mahmood for his third scalp before the former wrapped up the innings after lunch for outstanding figures of 7-34.
Sussex needed one run to win and Ed Joyce struck the third ball of the innings for four.
Warwickshire required another 136 runs for victory with eight wickets intact going into the final day against Somerset at Edgbaston.
Starting the day 127 for four, 31 runs ahead, Somerset were reliant on a fifth-wicket partnership of 167 from Nick Compton and Jos Buttler, who made 133 and 93 respectively before both falling to Chris Wright.
Despite late hitting from number nine Adam Dibble, who struck a career-best 43 off 46 balls, Marcus Trescothick's side were bowled out for 354, leaving Warwickshire a testing 259 to win.
Varun Chopra and Neil Carter, promoted to the top of the order, started positively but, when the pair departed in successive overs to Steve Kirby and George Dockrell respectively, Warwickshire were 43 for two.
However, Will Porterfield struck an unbeaten 57 in an unbroken partnership of 80 with Ian Westwood, who made a defiant 17 not out from 81 balls, to ensure the hosts reached the close on 123 for two.
Rory Hamilton-Brown's counter-attacking unbeaten fifty made Surrey slight favourites to beat Middlesex at Lord's.
Chasing 141, the visitors slipped to 22 for three before captain Hamilton-Brown hit 51 from 55 balls to lift his side to 95 for four when bad light ended play.
Surrey this morning lost their last five wickets for 38 runs to concede a first-innings deficit of 34, but Jon Lewis' five scalps then helped dismiss Middlesex for 106.
Sam Robson and Dawid Malan, with 43 and 13 respectively, were the only Middlesex players to reach double figures today as Lewis claimed 5-41.
Glamorgan lost their last eight wickets for 16 runs to slump to a 130-run defeat to a Jonathan Clare-inspired Derbyshire at the SWALEC Stadium.
Chasing 233 for victory, the Welsh county began well as Gareth Rees eased to 41 until he became the first of six victims for Clare, who also dismissed Rees' fellow opener Stewart Walters for 30. No other Glamorgan player made double figures.
Tony Palladino also took three wickets and Clare finished with 6-40, and 11-57 in the match, to put Derbyshire top of a fledgling Division Two.
This morning the visitors extended their overnight 152 for six to 197 all out, David Wainwright finishing unbeaten on 51.
Jim Allenby trapped Clare in front for 43, ending a 58-run stand with Wainwright, and Moises Henriques had Palladino caught behind for 21 en route to 4-54.
Matt Coles also took six second-innings wickets as Kent beat Northamptonshire by an innings and 120 runs at Wantage Road.
Northants began today needing 186 to make the visitors bat again with six wickets in hand.
Acting home captain David Sales added 11 to his overnight 31 before Coles bowled him for his third wicket of the innings
Mark Davies then had James Middlebrook caught behind and James Tredwell trapped Chaminda Vaas lbw in consecutive overs.
Niall O'Brien offered some resistance with 25 not out, but Coles had David Willey, Jack Brooks and Lee Daggett caught behind, the latter for 15, for figures of 6-51.
Three wickets for Hamza Riazuddin gave Hampshire hope late on a truncated day against Gloucestershire at the Ageas Bowl.
After the morning session was washed out, the hosts extended their overnight 182 for seven to 199 all out, a first-innings deficit of 115. Will Gidman took two of the last three wickets for figures of 5-48.
Riazuddin's breakthroughs helped to reduce the visitors to 71 for five, but Ian Cockbain and Gidman saw Gloucestershire to 129 for five, a lead of 244, at stumps.

Indie pop singer Lana Del Rey made a big splash on Billboard's Hot 100 this week with her newest single "West Coast." She easily scores her best debut week on the chart with the stirring rock ballad coming in at no. 17, Billboard reported on Wednesday, Apr. 23.
"West Coast" is the first single from Del Rey's upcoming album, Ultraviolence. She fittingly premiered the track on Apr. 13 during the Coachella music festival in California, and released it to digital retailers the following day. "West Coast" moved 110,000 downloads and was streamed 2.7 million times in its first week out.
Mostly relying on sales, the single debuts this week on Billboard's Hot 100 at No. 17, her best opening week on the chart yet. This is Del Rey's first major single to be released in the U.S. since she scored an unexpected hit last year with Cedric Gervais' remix of "Summertime Sadness."
Prior to "West Coast," Del Rey's best first week on Billboard's Hot 100 chart came last year with the "Summertime Sadness" remix, which debuted at No. 72. She easily tops that chart feat with the top 20 entry of her latest single. In terms of peak positions on the Hot 100, "West Coast" is already Lana's second highest charting song.
Only Cedric Gervais' remix of "Summertime" peaked higher when it hit No. 6 on the chart. "West Coast" is Del Rey's fourth entry on the Hot 100 following "Video Games" (No. 91 peak), "Young and Beautiful" (No. 22 peak) and "Summertime Sadness."
Del Rey released her major label debut album, Born to Die, in January of 2012 and it peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's albums chart. The album was certified platinum last month for selling over one million copies in the U.S. She is currently on tour in the states with "West Coast" as a recent addition to her setlist. Ultraviolence is set to drop later this year.
