When my novel "Christmas Jars," was first released in 2005, our goals were modest. We aimed to sell a few books and inspire readers to experiment with the tradition for themselves. On a personal level, I hoped to reignite the spirit of Christmas in my own heart and home.
In 2005, it was about a book.
Nine years later, it's about a movement of miracles.
For the uninitiated, the tradition is simple and works for anyone and any size family. Simply place an empty pickle, peanut butter, jam or other Mason jar on your kitchen counter or desk at work. Each day, every member of the family drops their spare coins into the jar. Even in this day of electronic money and debit cards, you'll be amazed at how quickly a few shiny pennies and a quarter will accumulate into real change.
When Christmas arrives, gather with your family, church friends or officemates and select someone who might benefit from a little boost. During the last nine years, based on thousands of emails and anecdotes, we've calculated that by the time a jar is given away, the average Christmas Jar holds just more than $200.
For many of us, $200 is the difference between keeping the lights on and paying for prescriptions. For too many, it could be the difference between young children experiencing disappointment or a moment of magic on Christmas morning.
Don't take my word for it. Read just three recent submissions to our Christmas Jars Story Library. These are real people, real jars and real stories. For some, they're miracles.
North Ogden, Utah
"My husband is a teacher in the LDS Church's seminary and loves his students and is loved by them. Just after school started, the headaches he had been experiencing for a long time suddenly escalated and became unbearable. It was discovered he had blood and fluid on the brain. After waiting for it to be re-absorbed, he finally had surgery to drain and release the pressure. He was in the hospital for most of a month, and is still recovering at home, but still even a shower exhausts him. The doctors have said this is akin to having a stroke and will take time to heal. His students and former students are all so wonderful and have done many things to cheer him up. He so wants to be back and they so much want him back. Time will tell if and when that will happen.
"Anyway, last Sunday night, we heard a knock on our door, and when I answered it, no one was there. Then, some time later, we again heard a knock on the door and this time, when I answered it, there was a huge (I mean, HUGE) jar on our front step. It took a lot of work to get it inside, because I couldn't lift it. I weighed the four bowls I had filled with the coins and cash and it all totaled up to about 80 pounds! No wonder I couldn't lift it. This is such a wonderful thing that will help to pay the doctor's bills that are still coming in and help with physical therapy. We can't begin to express our love and thanks for this act."
St. Joseph, Minn.
"Our family has been through one of the most difficult years ever this past year. First, our daughter was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. In the midst of it, I lost my job. While I eventually found work, it hasn't been enough to provide for our family.
"On Thursday, I spent an hour in specific prayer — at Eucharistic adoration — praying that God would provide some sign of hope. I felt very near despair.
"So, you can imagine our surprise at finding our first Christmas Jar on our deck last evening (a day after praying). The large jar had the initials 'C.J.' (Christmas Jar) written on it.

Art of Engineering
Illustrating the pioneering work of Robert Stephenson
9-5 MON - SAT admission free
A commemorative exhibition produced at Newcastle Arts Centre.
Robert Stephensons designs show the care and sensibility of a young man whose work changed the worlds perception of speed and time and reduced the distance between nations.
In the second quarter of the nineteenth century, Britain was fortunate in having two heroic engineers whose ambition and ability would rival anything produced by the Egyptians or the Romans. They were inspired by the great constructions of the past and worked to use the new industrial technology to create monuments of engineering that are still in use today.
Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Robert Stephenson both had enormous drive and commitment that led them to complete great engineering works the like of which few individuals have achieved before or since. Brunel and Stephenson were both rivals and friends and surprisingly died within a month of each other. This exhibition focuses on the civil engineering works of Robert Stephenson in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of his death on 12th October 1859.
Robert Stephenson the son of the father of railways George Stephenson was born at Willington Quay near Wallsend in 1803. Educated in Newcastle and Edinburgh he worked with his father on the Stockton and Darlington railway and gave his name to the worlds first locomotive works, Robert Stephenson & Co which opened at South Street, Newcastle 1823. He left Newcastle on a gold mining adventure to Columbia and on his return toured the North East of the USA surviving a shipwreck. He returned home at the request of his company shareholders and took charge of the Newcastle works to build the famous Rocket locomotive, a thoroughbred design which is the ancestor of the express passenger steam locomotive. During this time he lived only a street away from the Arts Centre. This exhibition includes original drawings, lent by Arup, for the worlds first metropolitan steam hauled railway, The London and Birmingham .
Roberts most famous work in Newcastle is the High Level Bridge, now a grade one listed building that has just received a European Heritage award for its restoration. His work as a locomotive builder went world wide including the first locomotive for a German railway, the first to be delivered to the USA, and the North Star the only successful locomotive to be delivered for the opening of Brunels Great Western Railway.
Stephensons major engineering works were that of an internationally renowned civil engineer who built pioneering structures, which extended far from his native North East, including works in Europe, Egypt and Canada. Fine examples of his work can be seen only a short walk from this exhibition in Newcastle City Centre, the High Level Bridge, the cast iron bridge outside the Castle Keep and the great stone arch that spans Dean Street.
a detail from John Storey's famous view of Newcastle
This show is made up of original drawings from the Stephenson office, Reprints of J C Bourne's illustrations, photographs, historical information and a working model railway. Part of a historic collection of Toy Trains will run in and out of the Exhibition daily , noon til 12.45 and 4pm til 4.45pm. Tuesday - Saturday.
The exhibition of working drawings of structures on the London Birmingham Railway is courtesy of the worldwide engineering design firm Arup.
Also featured in this show are new art prints made at Newcastle Arts Centre from the lithographs of John Cooke Bourne.
John Cooke Bourne was born on 1
September 1814, in Hatton Garden. His godfather was the
artist and engraver, George Cooke (1781 - 1834).
n 1836, a short walk from Bourne's home in Lambs Conduit Street, London, Robert Stephenson was beginning to build the London & Birmingham Railway. It started at Euston and ran through the streets and tenements of Camden Town and on towards the Midlands.
At the age of 22 Bourne began a series of sketches and watercolour drawings of Stephenson's construction work. Bourne sent several examples of the sketches to John Britton a writer and patron of the arts, who became his sponsor. The publication of the folio 'Bourne's London and Birmingham Railway' in 1838 is an amazing document of the building of the railway from which we have made fresh high quality exhibition prints which are for sale.
As part of the Robert Stephenson 150 Commemorative Regional Events organised by ICE (institute of Civil Engineers) this exhibition is presented by, ICE and the Robert Stephenson Trust.

Order "The Corporation" at
(Canada) Amazon.ca
, (US) Simon
& Schuster, (UK) Amazon.co.uk
Joel Bakan's book is a brilliantly argued account of the corporation's
pathological pursuit of profit and power. An eminent law professor
and legal theorist, Bakan contends that the corporation is
created by law to function much like a psychopathic personality
whose destructive behavior, if left unchecked, leads to scandal
and ruin.
In the most revolutionary assessment
of the corporation as a legal and economic institution since
Peter Drucker's early works, Bakan backs his premise with
the following claims:
The corporation's legally
defined mandate is to pursue relentlessly and without exception
its own economic self-interest, regardless of the harmful
consequences it might cause to othersa concept endorsed
by no less a luminary than the Nobel Prize-winning economist
Milton Friedman.
The corporation's unbridled self-interest victimizes
individuals, society, and, when it goes awry, even shareholders
and can cause corporations to self-destruct, as recent Wall
Street scandals reveal.
While corporate social responsibility in some instances
does much good, it is often merely a token gesture, serving
to mask the corporation's true character.
Governments have abdicated much of their control over
the corporation, despite its flawed character, by freeing
it from legal constraints through deregulation and by granting
it ever greater authority over society through privatization.
Despite the structural failings found
in the corporation, Bakan believes change is possible and
outlines a far-reaching program of concrete, pragmatic, and
realistic reforms through legal regulation and democratic
Backed by extensive research, The Corporation
draws on in-depth interviews with such wide-ranging figures
as CEO Hank McKinnell of Pfizer, Nobel Prize-winner Milton
Friedman, business guru Peter Drucker, and critic Noam Chomsky
of MIT.

The biggest appeal of "Catfish" is that each episode is a cross between creepy and funny. And even though MTV chose to incorporate celebrities in the third season, the show hadn't lost its touch. Yaniv "Nev" Schulman and Max Joseph still share the same mix of brotherly love, teasing and geeky detective work.
Even when actress Tracie Thoms went on a search for her own catfish, MTV still stayed close to the format. But for some inexplicable reason, MTV decided to switch up the flow and add former Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks as a third wheel on Wed., July 9. On paper, it may seem appealing. Who doesn't want the camera guy to randomly ogle a model for scenes when she's not talking? What if she tried to be as humorous as she was on "Real Husbands of Hollywood (RHOH)"? Why wouldn't a catfish need a third person to take the spotlight off of them on a show focused on figuring out the catfish?
If these three questions all sound stupid, that's because they are and so was the idea to include a celebrity guest for no reason at all who had nothing to do with the show. Here were the eight worst moments in Wednesday night's "Bianca and Brogan" episode.
8. The rationale for bringing her on the show was because Nev met her a couple of weeks ago and she likes the show. If the only requirements are to like watching the show there are a million others who qualify.
7. Selita isn't even sure which car to get in. She spent so much time debating about riding shotgun and ended up in the wrong car. How are you on a detective-like show when you can't even find the right passenger seat?
6. Selita randomly decided to be the author of the "three month representative" dating myth that's been vocalized for years. That advice fell flat when Bianca pointed out in five months that Brogan had never said anything wrong.
5. No matter how many times Selita was told the tattoo said "Sweet Heart" she couldn't get those leg tattoos down.
4. Of course viewers need another show with women calling each other bitches as though it's a synonym for women. No. Not really. Selita was so happy to guess that Brogan was pregnant that she yelled out, "There's only a few reasons why a bitch would go missing." This would be the part where not just Max should've gotten up and left but the rest of the camera crew, too.
3. A conversation with David Spade and Selita aired for no reason at all outside of providing kudos from another person who has no affiliation with the show.
2. Random bitter whining about men kept coming up, including Selita complaining that the reason a girlfriend's photos didn't show up on a social media site are "because he's a guy." Then there was the explanation about how women can talk to each other. Is this "Catfish" or "Girl Code"?
1. The repeated runway walks around the hotel room had absolutely nothing to do with the show. Is this the camera guy's idea again?
Selita seems personable. She carried her own with Kevin Hart on RHOH. Men love her. And she's clearly very accomplished. But what works with "Catfish" is the people playing Who's Who matter more than the hosts. MTV, let the online daters be the ones who call "shotgun" for the rest of the episodes.

Fans of Maksim Chmerkovskiy might have seen him take off his shirt on the "Dancing With the Stars" ballroom for the last time. The over the top dancer won the latest season of the competition with Meryl Davis, but it doesn't sound like he will be returning to the popular dancing competition any time soon. According to WetPaint on Tuesday, the entertainer is looking at life after dancing on the reality show.
Maksim Chmerkovskiy hasn't been coy about his big decision to return to "Dancing With the Stars" after several seasons away from Hollywood. He originally suggested it was for a single season and that he preferred the chance to do other projects. Yet, something lured him back and he was teamed up with an incredible athlete offering up the chance to be the best in front of millions of people. Winning the competition was just icing on the cake for the reality star.
Apparently now that the show is over, the professional dance is going back to his original statement that he isn't going to be returning to the show as a dancer after the season. According to TV Guide, Maksim doesn't see himself back on the television show as it is not exciting to him right now.
While it sounds like Maksim is taking the mirror ball trophy and leaving, the fans shouldn't worry about not seeing him again. A big supporter of "Dancing With the Stars" the dancer will be around for the next season, but he might be in the audience, dancing as part of the troupe or maybe taking a place behind the judges table.
The idea that Maksim Chmerkovskiy might not return to show as dancer is difficult for the viewers to understand. Yet, he has proved after all those years of competition that he has what it takes to win and everyone can imagine how great it feels to go out on top.

Most anticipated PC/console games of Fall 2009/early 2010?
There are a lot of great games coming out this fall and into 2010. What games are you looking forward to the most? You can pick more than one game if you're planning on playing more than one of these. I've included a Yoda/Other option for those of you who found other games not on this list or are just plain undecided.
Choices include the following:
Alpha Protocol
Assassin's Creed 2
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Diablo 3
Divinity 2
Dragon Age
LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues
Lego Rock Band
Starcraft 2
Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Republic Heroes
Star Wars The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition
Tales of Monkey Island: Lair of the Leviathan
Discuss your choices in the thread--what looks good to you and why?
AP representin' :detective:
Tales of Monkey Island.
Alpha Protocol. Dragon Age looks good, but i've not really followed it all that closely. I'm looking forward to Assassin's Creed 2 as well, but AP looks tastier.
AP, and MW2 for me, though there are several games not on that list that I am also looking forward to, I just forgot to click on Yoda when I voted, so I'll just name some of them now. Not that I'll be getting all these, they're just on my watch list.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Demon's Souls
Star Wars Battlefront: Elite Squadron
LittleBigPlanet PSP
Nintendo DS:
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Legend of Zelda: The Spirit Tracks
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Crystal Bearers
Assassin's Creed 2 is probably my most anticipated game this year. I loved the first one, and it seems like Ubisoft is revamping and improving every little problem I had with it. I love the setting they've picked for this one, too, and the design for the new protagonist is pretty badass.
I'll also be picking up Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Forza Motorsport 3, and I might check out Alpha Protocol.
Modern Warfare 2 and Tales of Monkey Island.
SWTFU: USE for PC.
Assassin's Creed 2 and Modern Warfare 2. The first of each of these are among my absolute favourites for the PS3, though now I have a decent PC I'm not sure which platform to go for - that'll depend on reviews more than anything, I think.
I'm interested in TFU: USE, and may get it eventually to play the DLC, but AC2 and MW2 are top of my Autumn-time wish list.
For early 2010 - Napoleon: Total War, Mafia II and Final Fantasy XIII look very appealing! :D
I'm looking towards Crysis 2... :p
^I'll bet that your computer isn't. ;)
I voted for Alpha Protocol, but TBH I'm just as excited about Diablo 3, both because of Boyarsky's involvement with that project and because I'm on the fence about Obsidian's QA.
Dangit, I forgot to hit the Yoda option for one more game: Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, motha****as.
Also looking forward to Alpha Protocol, ToMI, Modern Warfare 2, The Force Unleashed and even Dragon Age.
Tough poll. I really don't have too many I'm looking forward to right now. Assassin's Creed 2 might turn out to be interesting if they improve the gameplay over the 1st one.
Brutal Legend
Alpha Protocol and Assassin's Creed 2.
Starcraft 2.
I would say Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Halo 3: ODST (which came out a couple of days ago), Modern Warfare 2, and Splinter Cell: Conviction.
I'm thinking I'm gonna do a pokemon thing, because I....... " I just gotta have them all " :)
no Mass Effect 2?
This is blasphemy! This is madness!
As for the poll, I'm anticipating AC2 and MW2. Those games are going to be pretty kickass.
Cant wait for Alpha Protocal gonna buy a 360 just for it.
I want TFU I can't wait to play it on the computer
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time
I would say SWTFU: ultimate sith edition, however I'm not likely to be getting XBL soon, nor am I likely to download any games for it. Also since my 360 seems to not want to recognize the OS update I downloaded for it (I followed their instructions to the letter), I'm stuck with games I can't even play. :mad:
One game I *will* be able to look forward to playing will hopefully be finished and released in mid-late 2010: Protoman Vengeance.
I guess CoD 4: 2 but thats more of a hoping all of my friends and my roommate will get it so I can play multiplayer whenever I want
Modern Warfare 2
Mainly so I can play online
Oh wait I forgot a few more:
1) MegaMan Ultra 2:The rise of X
2) MegaMan Forever
3) Castlevania 2 improvement (I wish)
Mass Effect 2
Dragon Age
Force Unleashed Ultimate Sith Edition
I've played TFU on the Wii before but now I've got a 360 I can't wait for the new edition to come out so I can enjoy it in full with euphoria and DMM :)
Well, prepare to have your opinion of ANY good in the Wii version destroyed.
I look forward to Half Life 2: Episode 3 (Ohoho, the hopes of the fans.)
and hopefully TOR, because, as if my sources are right, they've been working on it since 2005, so it's my hope it'll be out at some point soon in 2010.
for me it has to be diablo 3. cant wait.
Modern Warfare 2...
None of those, heck, I'm not really looking forward to any games until late 2010... Urban Terror 4.2 FTW!
[QUOTE=Tobias Reiper;2678771]
I look forward to Half Life 2: Episode 3 (Ohoho, the hopes of the fans.)
Well, hopefully they do something about that b/c I'd like to play it too if it ever comes out. Frankly, I'll need a better machine than what I've got at the moment (PC, not maximized for gaming unfortunately). Of those listed so far....Alpha Protocol, ME2 and COD:MW2

Here is an example of just one of the many possible Dock & Dine's in this region:
Lake Washington, on the outskirts of Seattle, has gained notoriety for some of its better-known shore side residents like Bill Gates. But, tucked away in the upper reaches of this pristine lake is a restaurant and hotel well worth transiting the canal and lock system to reach.
Dock & Dine Ops:
The big story here is Bin on the Lake Restaurant. This stylish waterside restaurant prides itself on offering fresh farm to table fare. Plates are artistically prepared to further stimulate the senses. Outstanding dishes include the blue prawns and Quninault King Salmon. If you plan to visit, call ahead and ask about one of their famous wine pairing dinners. Both indoor and outdoor seating offers amazing views of this picturesque lake.
Dock It:
Boaters in the Seattle area can reach this amazing restaurant by transiting the Chittenden locks from Puget Sound to the 20 ft higher Lake Washington. Upon arrival at the Woodmark Hotel, you will find abundant docking available on their floating docks, which offer an easy and safe tie up.
Stuff To Do:
Classic boat lovers may wish to secure a private tour around Lake Washington aboard the hotel's 1956 Chris-Craft. Whether it is by your own craft or that of this classic motor yacht, be sure to check out all the amazing homes here. Other points of interest near here are Pike Place Market and the impressive Chateau St. Michelle Winery.

Much to the dismay of the "Son of God," Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Holly Kendig upheld Dan Goossen's promotional contract with Andre Ward on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old Ward (27-0, 14 KOs), who has also twice been overruled by the California State Athletic Commission, is slated to work with Goossen until November 8, 2016.
Ward, who previously hadn't fought since earning a 10th round TKO victory over "Bad" Chad Dawson in September 2012, last exited the squared circle on November 16 after outclassing Edwin Rodríguez to easily safeguard The Ring and WBA super middleweight belts.
A brilliant tactician who hasn't been conquered since he was a 12-year-old amateur, Ward officially beat the 29-year-old Rodríguez (24-1, 16 KOs) by scores of 118-106, 117-107 and 116-108.
Using elite footwork, a brilliant jab, and ferocious left hook, Ward dominated Rodríguez and absorbed virtually no punishment over 36 minutes.
The sport's second premier pound-for-pounder is a defensive virtuoso who employs expert movement to keep opponents unbalanced.
Quickly adapting and readjusting to Rodríguez's roughhouse tactics, Ward dictated the pace of the bout and excelled following a 14 month layoff.
A gold medalist as a light heavyweight at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Ward possesses the skills to earn a place in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Sadly, rather than remaining determined to mature into a legendary prizefighter, Andre Ward only wants to battle Dan Goossen over Section 2855 of the California Labor Code.

The story unfolding in the conference room in St. Patrick's Hospital brings to the forefront an important process that thousands of people deal with every year. The God Committee is actually a heart transplant selection committee that is faced with the task of deciding who receives donor hearts. You will be on the edge of your seat as ethics are hotly debated down to the last minute to decide which patient receives the next newly available heart. Join us in the conference room for this thought-provoking drama in two acts by Mark St. Germain.
A coalition of environmental groups has filed a petition with the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission asking what no one in Levy County has thus far voiced about the proposed two-unit nuclear plant near Inglis.
If the already operational Crystal River nuclear plant had an accident that required an evacuation within 10 miles of the plant, how would Progress Energy get workers in to operate the Levy County plant located just 9.6 miles away?
Chiefland Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 5625 held its annual Youth and Community Awards Banquet Sunday, April 19 to honor those who have excelled in their field in 2008-2009.
In its program, the Post acknowledged the youth, who exhibited interest in patriotism, love of country and respect of veteran.
Teachers were commended for being a guiding force to develop future leaders.
The Post saluted civil servants who are the community's protectors.
Artists and youth who support the VFW National Home were cited for "adding a ray of sunshine."
Donnie knows he has a right to dignity. Daniel is able to read and write. Frank knows how and when to dial 9-1-1. Every client at Levy Association for Retarded Citizens (LARC) has a plan for learning and achievement, and the staff and volunteers help them reach their goals.
The Suwannee River Water Management District governing board elected officers at its March meeting.
Donald J. Quincey Jr. of Chiefland, was elected chairman. Quincey was appointed to the board in 2008 and represents the Lower Suwannee basin. He is owner and president of Quincey Cattle Company and also serves as a board member for the Florida Cattleman's Association.
Ben Lott is usually a man who shies from the limelight, but as president of the Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce, the banker enjoyed his moment Tuesday night.
In the audience immediately below the stage sat Realtor and Mormon Church leader Owen Baynard. He had been told to bring his friend and business partner Tommy Harrington to the dinner.
Twenty seven years ago when Dogan Cobb joined the board of directors of Levy Association for Retarded Citizens, he told LARC Executive Director Betty Walker, then new to the job, that he'd stay in his job as long as she stayed in hers.
Last Wednesday, Cobb reluctantly broke his promise, retiring from the board. Walker said she'd forgive him – after all, Cobb is 98 years old.
"He's a good man," she said.
"In 27 years, we never had a cross word between us."
The Levy County jail inmate whose treatment ran up a $236,107.75 bill was released from jail after Weeks Bons posted her $50,000 bail. The release is good news for Levy County as it will no longer be financially responsible for her treatment. It's the second bit of good news for the county as North Florida General Hospital cut the outstanding bill by 35 percent, County Coordinator Fred Moody said. Moody said he has informed the commissioners on the progress of the one big medical bill for the jail and the total medica

The HERO3+ Black Edition Camera - A Kino-Eye for Today
The Hero3+ is a unique kind of product. Marketed as an action camera, it is in fact a whole new type of personal device as it enables a different set of possibilities in terms of the relationship of person to their environment, Wi-Fi and all.
These cameras are marvelous additions to everyday life and provide hours of footage that can be turned into professional film productions. You can also shoot stills - 12MP stills at up to 30 frames per second—for fast-action sequences. There is also a time lapse mode that enables automatic photo capture at 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 or 60 second intervals. The "Continuous Photo" mode lets you capture full-resolution stills at a regular 3, 5 or 10 frames per second by holding the shutter button down continuously.
The first thing that strikes you about it when you open it up is the elegant and solid packaging. The camera comes mounted on a hinge-based platform that is also its display and packaging case. This transparent box can itself be used as a weatherproof housing for outdoor shoots. Thus an air of pragmatism, practicality and 'action' accompanies the device from the minute you unbox it. Inside there is a small remote control, ruggedized with rubber and a nifty lanyard for use when doing sports that lets you turn the camera on and off should it be mounted where you cannot easily get at it. This is charged as is the camera with supplied USB cables.
Footage is recorded directly onto microUSB flash cards which are inserted under a removable panel in the side, where a standard USB socket lives. This panel, being removable would be easy to lose, which is probably why a replacement is provided. Why not make it a sliding panel instead? Just a thought. The footage itself, due to the screen resolution involved is often of high frame weight, so the transfer times can be lengthier than I had expected. A 2 hour concert performance at 1280p took almost as long to transfer from flash memory to computer hard drive as it did to film, and some kind of hardware acceleration device to assist this would be useful.
The lens can be capped, and probably should be most of the time. A fixed ultra-wide angle, virtually fish-eye affair, the field of view favors the intended market's 'selfie' video-while-doing-extreme-sports shot. The wider the angle the better for any moving shot, but should you need to un-widen a sequence, a downloadable software package for mac or PC allows you to do just that, though some loss of the frame information inevitably results from the width and height frame transformation - the image has to be stretched from something that looks like it covers a ball to something that covers the side of a shoebox, so some bits are lost, but the GoPro software is very easy to use and works well.
What makes the Go Pro camera so elegant from my point of view as a film maker is its very high-quality construction, its ease of use, and its beautiful but simple user interface based around a basic LCD display. A camera this small cannot have realistically have a display bigger than that supplied which is reminiscent of a small LCD watch. The menu-based interface is navigated by both the 'choose' and 'record' buttons on the front and top of the camera respectively. Evocative of the navigation of the menus of pre-smart phones, this process becomes surprisingly easy to master after a while, where actions such as setting still or video, video resolution, sound effects on or off etc become second nature. I like this aspect of the Go Pro the best, as it has enabled the camera to be no bigger than a matchbox, yet obtain shots that could quite literally be shown in an IMAX theater.
In the 1928 the Russian film maker Dziga Vertov made a film called 'The Man with a Movie Camera' about the new possibilities opened up by cinema. Cinema, he argued was not only for the world of entertainment and science but for life and society itself. He even wrote a manifesto called 'Kino Eye' in which the very act of recording life was the same as creating it. His movie shows he and his brother carrying a large camera everywhere they can carry it. To the top of massive chimneys, under trains, on motorcycles, on airplanes. If Vertov were around today, he'd ditch his hand-cranked 35mm cameras for a suitcase full of Go Pro Hero3+ cameras for sure.
Using the Go Pro Hero for several months has shown me the possibilities as a film maker of using sports action cameras as adjuncts to everyday life. I've used a lot of cameras since the late 1970s, and have developed a sense of which cameras work best for films about everyday life. Thirty years ago I carried a battery operated Canon super8 camera small enough to carry everywhere in my pocket. I could shoot short bursts, and this was my style of film at the time. More recently I've been using clip on cameras, 808 type keyfob cameras, iPhones, generic mp4 cameras from China that also let you play games. The rise of the H264 compression system and .mp4 has meant a massive increase in chipsets that record amazingly high quality video. What you pay for is the lenses and the CMOS, and the GoPro configuration is among the best, not the least due to the state-of-the-art battery technology and housing and mount system.
High-resolution, high-frame rate 1440p48, 1080p60, 960p100 and 720p120 video modes result in professional quality footage and allow for liquid-smooth slow motion playback. 4Kp15 and 2.7Kp30 enable ultra high-resolution, cinema quality capture.
Some technical specifications on video capture:
Video Format:
H.264 codec, .mp4 file format
Advanced Video Capture Settings
Video mode that captures the world's most immersive wide angle perspective. Allows you to capture more of yourself and your surroundings in the shot, and provides full widescreen playback.
SuperView Settings
SuperView Mode Video Resolution
1080 SuperView 1920 x 1080
720 SuperView 1280 x 720
The Go Pro device is also sold (thankfully) with a waterproof housing. You can drop the camera in the water and it will record you & others swimming, surfing etc. The same housing is a rugged case that protects the camera from impact as well. The Go Pro is not just a camera but a whole family of brackets, mounts, and interlocking hinge based mounts and clips that enable the user to attach the camera onto any smooth surface for filming on the go.
The main market for the Go Pro is of course the extreme sport set but using it as a kind of regular video camera I have found that it makes a solid device for everyday use. If you treat it like a point and shoot, it will work in the same way, you can un-stretch those shots later; if indeed you want them un-stretched - the fish-eye shots take on a certain appeal of their own after a while.The lenses unscrew and are interchangable but this is by no mans a trivial or straightforward process, and lenses are often not sold along with the brackets and mounts in most of the stores I've visited and need to be ordered online.
The extreme wide angle lens that the camera comes with out of the box which is fine for surfboard shots or skateboard action or skydiving when you want to be sure that you are included in the free-fall sequence along with the surrounding environment. A Wi-Fi connection enables video preview as well as photo and video sharing with the downloadable GoPro App and also enables communication with the supplied remote control.
Jake Read flies quadrocopters and mounts Go Pro cameras on them and the greatest advantage for him of the Go Pro is the size and scale. The devices are small and lightweight enough to be mounted onto most flying platforms, the heaviest element being the (thankfully) removable rechargeable battery.
The screen resolution and frame rate options are very considerable for a device so small, and if anything possibly rather daunting to the newcomer, and in particular the availability of cinema-quality 4K resolution is welcome, enabling footage to hold up well on the big screen should it need to.
GoPro Hero3+ Black Edition is not only a camera. It is a whole personal video production family - mounts, extensions, lenses, housings.. It is a system of sports visualization tools and it currently dominates this one section of the market. It can be used in more ways than it is being sold for and it pays to think of it as more than simply a helmet camera for the adventurous, but a kind of mini-camera for everyday use. A kino-eye for today.

Tonight at El Cid Mexican Joint in Silverlake, The King's English will take the stage to get all of the Senoritas dancing. They are joined by an army of kick-ass groups including Emerson Star, J.C. August, and Send Medicine. All you will need to bring is your dancing shoes and the boys from King's will do the rest. Unless you have maracas...then bring your maracas.
The King's English is an up-and-coming local LA band that you don't want to miss, and a little birdie told me that they may even be playing some new material. Always upbeat and full of groovy licks and catchy riffs, The King's English always put on a good show.
With Derek Brambles belting out the sweet and catchy vocals, Eric Johnson laying down the fat bass beats, and Nick Setter shredding earlobes on lead guitar, the guys fuse together a sound that is indescribable. But if it had to be described in one word, that totally-not-made-up word would be: Funtabulous. They also have a super cute drummer.
The doors open at 9pm. Come early to make sure you get a chance to see all the artists shoot their art at you with loud amplification devices in a confined area. The band Emerson Star in particular has been known to cause its listeners to experience multiple eargasms. You've been warned.
Every act playing tonight is going places. Wouldn't you like to see them now so that in like ten years you can tell your friends "Whatever, I saw those guys at El Cid in Silverlake before they became all 'Hollywood' and went to all those places"?!
El Cid on Sunset in Silverlake tonight, Friday, February 21st 2014 at 9pm. You can be there or you can be square, but circles are way cooler. Just saying.

The Rocket broke it: The Nationals have signed Caleb Clay, a 24-year-old six-year free agent from the Boston organization. Clay has already undergone Tommy John surgery (2007) but has stalled at AA for the past two years as a reliever after starting his first four seasons. SoxProspects pegs him thusly: "Over-the-top, fluid delivery. Lanky frame, still has some projection. Fastball sits between 88-90 mph with good sinking movement. Can induce a lot of groundballs, but he can also give up a lot of hard contact."
His hallmark has been control, with a career rate of 2.9BB/9IP and season-best of 1.8 per in 2010, and since switching to relief he's been able to get strikeouts — 8.2K/9IP the past two seasons with Portland. I was unable to confirm if he is still rocking this Balester-esque 'stache. Best guess at this point: relief inventory for Harrisburg.
Mark Zuckerman is back on the beat and characterizes the Nationals 2013 spring schedule as a case for the Nationals to leave Viera, perhaps going to Ft. Myers. Negotiations have been ongoing for most of 2012, with the Nationals reportedly asking for millions of dollars' worth of upgrades and Lee County trying to whittle down the price tag.
Todd Boss over at NationalsArmRace.com has done the hard work on trying to break down the options and service time of the current Nationals roster. With the Nationals ascendancy, this has become less of an issue than it was a few seasons ago, but as we saw with the likes of Ryan Perry (today's starter in the AFL championship game), it hasn't gone away. You might want to bookmark this one as I anticipate we'll be revisiting this issue in the next couple of weeks as we may see some moves that can be explained with this information.

Great photo. Today's post reminds me we're only about 2+ weeks away from the Rule V draft.
Luke, I know I'm a lot more nervous about this than you, but it's become a scary day for the Nats now that their good.
Sure would like to have Purke's 40-man spot right about now.
When I look at your mom's meatballs, I wish my background was Swedish, not Scottish. Have you ever eaten haggis, for example?
I really don't see any costly Rule 5 risks this year; the eligibles still date to the Bowden era. I think that next year is likely to be more of a crunch as players drafted in 2009 start to become eligible.
[…] 25-year-old was signed during the offseason after being granted six-year free agency from Boston, which drafted him as the 44th pick of the 1st […]

Are you single and looking to at some point be in a relationship?
Are you dancing to your own tune with no intention to learn anything new or are you willing to learn a new dance?
For those single individuals who are patiently waiting until they meet Mr. or Miss Right don't worry your time is coming. Unfortunately there is no crystal ball or any other way to tell when the right person will come along you just have to believe that when the time is right it will happen for you.
How will you know when it's time?
If you watch the art of dance it is amazing. A person hears the music and their body starts to move to the sound. What's even more amazing is when a person is trained in one particular dance style and they can see another dance style and learn to do that style as well. A relationship should be like a dance. Just like dance there are several different forms a relationship can take.
For some the connection is instant, two individuals meet and they are doing the same dance. The fluidity of moment allows their union to flow like two trees dancing in the wind. For some others it can be a little different.
In some cases you have two individuals who dance differently but they are willing to learn the style of the other. In one case you have a person who is a classically trained Ballet dancer who learns how to do the style of Hip Hop or a Tap dancer who learns how to do Broadway. The point is just because you do one dance doesn't mean you can't do another you just have to be willing to try.
Simply put, when it comes to wanting to meet someone in some cases you have two individuals that have been doing things their way for a while. Some people are stuck in their ways and their is no room to grow. For some others they realize that growth offers them the opportunity to be able to step outside self in order to connect with someone else.
For some mastering a dance is a difficult task because they aim for perfection. Individuals have to realize that there is no such thing as perfection. If you meet someone who is willing to dance from the heart allow them to show you their moves. With a little help and understanding before you know it the both of you will be dancing in tune, to the same song at the same time.
Are you willing to learn a new style of dance? Or, will you continue to do the same old dance to the same old song alone?

The Elena Gallegos Picnic Area at the Sandia Foothills is one of the many beautiful areas managed by Albuquerque's Open Space Division. This spot is on the northwest side of the Sandia Mountains; nestled on the northern most part of this area is a trailhead leading to TWA Canyon. Domingo Baca Trail starts rather flat and is hot as there is not much tree coverage, but the surrounding sights are still magnificent.
As the trail winds up the mountain the sights become even more picturesque with peaceful streams, colorful birds and tall, green trees. The sound of the water softly flowing down the mountain and the birds singing in the trees leaves a hiker with much serenity as the fresh mountain air is breathed in.
Domingo Baca is a rugged and challenging trail and those wishing to get to TWA Canyon must be prepared for a long and significant hike; bring lots of water and snacks. It takes about 3 hours to get to the steep canyon wall near the site where the small TWA plane crashed in 1955. Parts of the small plane still remain. There is a small memorial bolted to the side of the plane, which is both somber and beautiful.

Jim Carlin, the private investigator searching for missing Michigan doctor, Teleka Patrick, says he thinks she is alive, according to a Jan. 8, 2014 WWMT report.
"I do believe she's alive and we're going to bring her home," he stated.
Carlin noted that Thursday he is looking into whether the young physician checked herself into a hospital, saying, "Not only do the HIPPA laws have such stringency, also the mental health laws. That's part of what I'll be doing in Indiana and Illinois tomorrow," reports WWMT.
View slideshow: Photos of Missing Michigan Doctor, Teleka Patrick
Also on Wednesday, authorities in Kalamazoo announced they will release details surrounding Teleka, including whether they believe she is still alive, according to Fox 19.
It was recently revealed that in Sept. 2013, gospel singer and pastor Marvin Sapp filed a protective order against Teleka. In the document he wrote she had stalked him and claimed him as her husband.
According to Carlin, Teleka's family were unaware of this side of Teleka and "are totally shocked… but no parent knows their children all the time and what's going on."
Teleka, 30, failed to show up for work on Dec. 6, 2013.
The night prior, police found her car abandoned in an Indiana ditch alongside an interstate about 100 miles away from Kalamazoo where she worked. Reports indicate her wallet was still inside the vehicle.
Teleka's cell phone was left at her place of employment, Borgess Hospital.
According to CNN, Dec. 5 surveillance video from a local Radisson hotel shows Teleka at the front desk just after 7:30 p.m. She is dressed in all black and spends about 10 minutes speaking with the reception desk. Teleka then leaves after failing to book a room.
She can be seen exiting out the hotel's front doors at about 7:48 p.m. and getting on a shuttle bus, which took her to her car, CNN reports.
Police urge anyone with information about Teleka's whereabouts call the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office at 269-383-8748, or contact Silent Observer at 269-343-2100 or www.kalamazoosilentobserver.com.

"The Itch"Thu, June 7, 2007 - 1:57 AM
I'm relying on my trusty ruler to do the biz, and am slapping in moisturiser down my leg as far as my fingers will reach...... but I have small hands so that isn't far................... as I'm assuming it's the now VERY dry skin.......... evident by the accumulating skin flakes that are finding their way out of the cast, that is causing 'The Itch'
I have thought of trying a nozzle on the end of the hoover to try and clear them out and hopefully reduce the irritation, and I've tried anti-histamines........... not that they help much in the itch department, but they do help give a good night's sleep :)
Any suggestions gratefully recieved!

August and September yielded
mixed signals for California's economy. The unemployment rate dropped to its
lowest point of the year in September. Industry employment, however, slid. Home
building slowed slightly in August, but is still much stronger than last year.
Home sales and prices both continued to improve substantially. Nonresidential
construction, on the other hand, was still weak.
Home Prices Continue to Climb
Monthly Cash Report
Preliminary General Fund agency cash for September was $2.543 billion above the 2003 Budget Act forecast of $7.263 billion. However, $2.264 billion is due to tobacco bond moneys that were received in late September, rather than in October, thereby increasing the "other revenues" category. Excluding the "other revenues" category, agency cash is $369 million above forecast for the month and $514 million above forecast year-to-date. The forecast assumed $2 billion in tobacco bond revenues in 2003-04 and because $2.264 billion was received, there is a one-time real gain from forecast of $264 million for this revenue source.
income tax revenues were $292 million above the month's forecast of $3.423
billion. Quarterly estimated payments were $154 million above the forecast
of $1.417 billion, although the $1.571 billion received was very similar
to the year-ago level of $1.581 billion. Withholding was $87 million above
the projected level of $1.944 billion and 13 percent above the year-ago
level. Other receipts were $75 million above the estimate of $188 million.
Refunds were $24 million greater than the expected level of $126 million.
For July through September, this tax is $494 million above forecast.
and use tax receipts were $13 million above the month's forecast of $1.852
billion. September represents the second prepayment for third quarter taxable
sales. Final payments for this quarter will be received in late October
and early November, providing a more complete picture of third quarter activity.
So far this year, the sales tax is $42 million above expectations.
tax revenues were $79 million above the month's forecast of $1.253 billion.
Prepayments were $121 million above the forecast of $1.11 billion and miscellaneous
payments were $83 million lower than the $235 million that was expected.
The third prepayment for calendar year corporations, as well as estimated
payments for fiscal year corporations, was due in September. Refunds were
$41 million less than the forecast of $92 million. Year-to-date, this tax
is up $46 million from forecast.
from the insurance, estate, alcoholic beverage, and tobacco taxes came in
$15 million below the $524 million that was expected. The remaining revenues-pooled
money interest income and "other" revenues-were $2.174 billion
above the month's estimate of $211 million. This is because $2.264 billion
in tobacco bond moneys were received earlier than expected.

Life Vest, Type 10.30 B-2, Luftwaffe
The Type 10.30 B-2 life vest was a mid to late war variation with a solid shoulder panel replacing the back straps of the Type 10.30 design. The vest was worn deflated during flight. The around the neck configuration ensured that the wearer remained face up in the water. Unfortunately, this vest did not automatically inflate when it came in contact with the water rendering the vest of no value for the unconscious pilot.
This life vest was captured by the United States Army Air Force and brought to the United States for evaluation but no specifics about its wartime use was recorded.
Transferred from the U.S. Air Force
Physical Description:
Luftwaffe Type (Berat Nr.) 10.30 B-2 Life Vest; cotton canvas duck cloth cover rubber front inflation bladders with inflatable neck ring, cotton back panel; 2 cotton web front straps with "D" rings; lower CO2 inflation canister lower left waist; black rubber inflation hose upper front left bladder; with green trim and straps, manual inflation rubber hose; black manufacture stamp on inside back panel (see marks for full text).

Presidential Showcase
With the advent of Dr. Gwendolyn Stephenson retiring, after serving the college and the community since 1997, the annual Presidential Showcase has taken on a deeper meaning. The Fine Arts Department has always played a large role in this fundraising event sponsored by the president and the HCC Foundation by providing music, art work, vingettes of theatre productions and dances taken from HCC's many performances on and off the Ybor City Campus. Food has been prepared by our HCC's culinary school and students from many different departments have enjoyed helping out as car parks, ushers, servers etc. This year's event will take place at the Westin Hotel on Harbor Island and promises to be an evening to remember!
At 5:50 p.m. Dr. Mark Switzer began serenading the guests at Dr. Stephenson's private reception with a wide range of repertoire for the guitar. In the general reception area the Ybor City Campus Faculty Quartet played forty-five minutes of jazz standards. As guests moved into the Ballroom, the Ybor Campus jazz band began with Moonlight Serenade and Sunny after which Professor Kenneth Hanks played some beautiful Chopin Pieces. At 8:00 the band returned with their well polished arrangement of Spain featuring trumpet player Eduardo Mora. Carol Abbott and the chorus did two spectacular numbers while a slide show prepared and created by the art department depicted Dr. Stephenson's 19 year career at HCC. The band filled in with some sweet big band charts until 9:00 when the speeches began. At the close of the evening, the band took everyone home with their newest Gordon Goodwin arrangement, "Samba del Gringo" and "South Rampart Street Parade".

Kenneth Hanks and Robert Winslow play a lively
Ellington tune at the reception.

Young girls, big tits - an easy sell.
The melons in this excellent series are always natural but not always that big. This volume really delivers size-wise, with D cups and more all around. Lain Oi's 34Cs are the exception.
Brandy has an amazing 36DDD rack. She calls them Big and Bigger. Mark Davis and Dave Hardman grab on to them while fucking her. Beaming cover girl Devin has beautiful DD jugs - Toni Ribas thinks so, too.
This is not a hard-slamming Red Lighter. The sex is hot but not rough. But for showing off fresh young girls with natural knockers, it's in a class by itself.

Internet titan Google won an Australian court case Wednesday over sponsored links in its search results, with the nation's highest court ruling it did not engage in conduct that was misleading.
Australia's competition regulator had taken Google to court, alleging that adverts using keywords for Honda, Harvey World Travel, Alpha Dog Training and Just 4X4 Magazine were published by Google and led consumers to rival firms.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) lost the initial case but won an appeal in the Federal Court, which ruled that Google's technology created its search results.
Google had argued that it should not be held responsible for the content of ads on its platform because it was paid for and submitted by the advertisers.
The High Court of Australia overturned the appeal decision on Wednesday, agreeing that the advertisers, not Google, were responsible for the content of so-called sponsored links.
"Google did not create the sponsored links that it published or displayed," the court said.
"Ordinary and reasonable users of the Google search engine would have understood that the representations conveyed by the sponsored links were those of the advertisers, and would not have concluded that Google adopted or endorsed the representations," it added.
"Accordingly, Google did not engage in conduct that was misleading or deceptive."

Barnes and Noble's Nook tablets and their unique design choices have been featured on this site before (Sept. 13'). What this reviewer couldn't predict is that less than a year after publishing that article, the device would go to sleep without even saying goodbye.
A quick bit of research shows that a potentially fatal flaw is present in the device. The "MAG2GA TRIM bug" is a corruption in the device's firmware that causes the product to "brick" or fail permanently. There is nothing that a user does to cause this and it seems there isn't any simple way to fix it once it happens.
There are two things to say about this. First, it's downright disappointing. If the Nook line wasn't already discontinued, it would be time to demand a fix. Second, you are probably within your warranty so contact Barnes and Noble's website here and insist on a quick and hassle-free replacement. It's obvious to me that Barnes and Noble is aware of the issue. What turned suspicion into fact was this entry in Barnes and Noble's knowledge base titled "Unresponsive NOOK® Device" It was the number one solution under troubleshooting Nook devices. The problem here, is that you will only find this article after deeply engaging with the Nook support process. A general search and a scan of the support section will show you absolutely nothing. The article details an inane and complicated process that feels like one step above a guess. It claims to be a first step towards repairing the following issues:
"An unresponsive NOOK may exhibit the following symptoms:
· Image stuck on the screen
· Unable power off
· Unresponsive to button or touch screen commands
· Unresponsive after fully charging"
The procedure to attempt a fix includes pressing and holding the power button for 20 seconds, then releasing the power button and pressing the power button again for 2 seconds. This is obviously a problem that Barnes and Noble is aware of. That said, it seems that Barnes and Noble didn't need to inform Nook owners of the issue. There was no pro active attempt to educate or repair and obviously no quick software patch to avoid this in the first place. Barnes and Noble is reacting to a problem that makes their product an expensive paperweight by looking the other way.
Buyer beware.

In an era plagued by religious conflict, the Third Edition of Gods in the Global Village directly responds to issues of social problems prevalent in the world today. Using an engaging, thought-provoking style, author Lester R. Kurtz focuses on the relationship among the major faith traditions that inform the thinking and ethical standards of most people in the emerging global social order. This book focuses on a central aspect of that common crisis. A major assumption of this book is that all knowledge is shaped by the social context of the knower; therefore, both religious traditions and our studies of them are shaped by the context in which we construct them. The author argues that religious pluralism will be a necessary precondition of the global village for the foreseeable future. The question that faces us as a human community is not "Which religious tradition is true?" or even "Is any religious tradition true?" but rather "How can we enable the various religious and secular traditions to coexist peacefully on the planet?" The text supports the belief that the sociology of religion-itself a pluralistic discipline-can provide invaluable insight into the most pressing problems of our time.

The Kuwaiti film: Kan Refeeji فيلم كان رفيجي
July 23, 2014 Leave a Comment
Kan Refeeji is a new Kuwaiti film, and it will be shown in cinemas around Kuwait in Eid. I don't know what the story is about, but it's got a nostalgic feeling about it. It showed stuff from the 80's, the actors soft spoken, and it looks like it has a good (or at least a lesson-worthy) ending.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has released a new recommendation that boys as young as 11 be vaccinated against the human papillomavirus, also known as HPV, which is the most common sexually transmitted infection.
In 2006, the CDC recommended that 11-year-old girls and above be vaccinated, which caused controversy as many family advocacy and religious groups felt the vaccine would cause promiscuity and unprotected sex in young girls. Undoubtedly, the recommendation that boys should now receive the vaccine will create similar opinions, but health experts say the vaccine could protect boys from genital warts and certain cancers as well as prevent them from spreading HPV to girls.
Although the recommendation was given in 2006, only 49 percent of girls have received at least the first of three shots while only 1 percent of boys have received it since it was made available to them over two years ago.

Are you READY for change?
Strengthening your organization to become capable of really effecting social change is an exciting and challenging process. Your ability to make change is directly related to your level of readiness. Before you begin the process, it is important to ensure that you have the capacity in place to maximize your potential.
Here are some questions to consider as you assess your readiness:
- Is your Executive Board fully committed to embarking on this change process?
- Do you have an Executive Director and Senior Staff team that is ready to deal with the change process?
- Do you have someone within your organization who is able to play a leadership role in this effort and to ensure that it keeps moving in a timely and efficient manner?
- Is your organization committed to sharing the decision-making process with community partners?
- Is the organization economically viable? Do you have the resources or do you have the capacity to raise the resources you need to succeed?
- Do you have the organizational discipline necessary to keep efforts on track and proceeding smoothly?
- Most importantly, is everyone in your organization, from leadership to staff members, on board with this effort? Is there an overall commitment to change?
