Kipp's apparatus
In any chemical laboratory where analysis is carried out, there needs to be a supply of hydrogen sulfide gas which can be turned on and off at will. Usually when a gas is made in the laboratory, the apparatus has to be set up each time the gas is needed. Furthermore there is no way of switching the supply on and off. For hydrogen sulfide, prior to the modern use of thioacetamide, Kipp's apparatus overcame this problem. The same apparatus can also be used for supplying carbon dioxide or hydrogen on tap.
Although a regular supply of other gases may also be needed, these are the only three common gases for which the Kipp's apparatus can be used. This is because to produce other gases heating is required. This is out of the question in the Kipp's apparatus because it would shatter on heating. The gas flow is controlled by making gas only when a cold liquid is in contact with lumps of solid. Hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen are all made in this way. When the liquid is drained away from the solid, the supply stops. No heating is needed to make them. They are made by the action of cold acids on pieces of solid. Broken sticks of ferrous sulfide are used for making hydrogen sulfide, marble chippings for carbon dioxide, and zinc granules for hydrogen.
When gas is needed, the tap is turned on. The gas pressure in the center bulb is released. There is no extra pressure to hold the acid in the top bulb so it drops down to completely fill the bottom bulb and once more flood the solid.
When the gas tap is turned off, as the gas can no longer escape, the pressure again builds up, forcing the liquid back into the top bulb or reservoir. The build up of pressure ceases when all drops of acid left clinging to the solid have been used up.
In time, the acid grows weaker and the solid is used up. The chemicals need renewing. The acid is drained out by removing the bung from the lower bulb, after which the remaining solid can be taken out. This should be done in a fume cupboard to prevent the breathing of poisonous fumes. Because of its poisonous qualities and unpleasant smell of bad eggs, it is advisable to always keep a hydrogen sulfide Kipp's apparatus in the fume cupboard.

Disease Proof
Your Job Can Make You Fat!
Add it to the list. Not only can work make you crazy, manic, irritated, annoyed, and just plain angry, now it seems your chosen profession can also make you fat. Reuters reports:
The more job strain men and women reported, the more likely they were to become obese, Dr. Eric J. Brunner of the Royal Free and University College London Medical School and colleagues found. Higher stress levels were also tied to excess fat around the middle, which is particularly harmful for health.I can speak from experience on this one. I used to have a miserable office job, by the time I quit, I bloated to the size of a baby elephant—a very surly baby elephant.
Chronic stress has been linked to heart disease and the metabolic syndrome, a constellation of symptoms including excess belly fat that increases the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, Brunner and his team note. They hypothesized that job stress might make people more likely to develop obesity during adulthood as well.

Sometimes the bravado speaks louder than the ability. Whether it is biking those extra 10 miles or lifting that extra 25 pounds, the body can suffer from that intense exertion. When the pain is intense, the pain reliever needs to match it. Rock Sauce and Rocktape are the solution.
Rock Sauce is the extreme pain reliever lotion that will rock away the severe pain. Combining both cooling and warmth, this topical is an all in one treatment. Rock Sauce can be used for isolated muscle pain and joint soreness, graston or A.R.T use, skin cleaning for the application of Rocktape and pre-workout warm ups.
Unlike other topical treatments, Rock Sauce can be used in conjunctin with Rocktape. Rocktape is a type of kinesiology tape. When applied directly to the surface of Rocktape, Rock Sauce soaks into Rocktape and slowly releases itself which provides cooling and warmth for up to 1 hour.
Both the serious athlete and the weekend warrior can benefit from the Rock Sauce and Rocktape. The products together and separate can help reduce recovery time as well as assist performance. The company believes that Rocktape can help athletes go strong and longer by using fascial taping, hi-tech textiles, aerospace adhesives and organic chemistry.
Rocktape is designed to work in tough athletic environments. The design and materials work across a variety of situations and body types. Since everyone is different and has varied needs, this company seeks to provide options for athletes of all sizes and builds. The key is to provide the support and recovery that anyone doing athletic training wants.
Rock Tape and Rock Sauce can be purchased at GNC, Road Runner Sports and various other companies and clinics. For complete listings, please visit the Rock Tape website.
Whether recovering from the 60 miles charity bike ride or providing support during a cross fit class, Rocktape and Rock Sauce can provide the support and recovery all athletes at every level want.

Cevisama: A showcase of innovation
[Valencia, Spain] Cevisama, the international ceramic tile and bath furnishings show, opened its doors for its 27th year Feb. 10-13 to unveil the latest in ceramic products, innovations and architectural applications.
The number of foreign and domestic visitors declined by around 16 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively, according to the Spanish Ceramic Tile Manufacturer's Association (ASCER). The group reported a significant recovery in the number of buyers from Arab countries - to the extent that a mosque had to be set up for prayers.
Although numbers were down, the show offered a vibe good for business. "We signed up customers from 35 new showrooms in Europe," said Jim Jenson, vice president of sales and marketing for Oceanside Glasstile, which has exhibited at Cevisama for the past four years. "We are one of the only American companies to show at Cevisama and Cersaie, so we always get a little more attention at those events."
Jenson said Europe currently accounts for less than 10 percent of Oceanside's overall business, but a partnership with Spanish distributor Decorativa and 40 European agents are helping expand its market. "We could have made a bigger splash by opening our own distribution center in Europe, but we gain a lot by having people understand the culture of each European country. Those types of relationships are critical to growing and determining who the right players are to be in business with."
A number of high-performance tiles were introduced at the show. BionicTile by Ceracasa earned the 2009 Alfa De Oro Award for the most innovative product. The tile, used for exterior cladding, improves the environment by continuously decontaminating the air, and filtering harmful nitrous oxide - the contaminant responsible for acid rain and a leading cause of climate change and pulmonary diseases. The company claims one square meter of BionicTile decomposes 31.2 mg of nitrous oxide each hour. Inalco has designed a light, versatile product called SlimmKer that is less than a quarter-inch thick. Because it is lightweight, it is easier to ship, handle and install. A new installation system also allows tiles to be easily replaced, lessening environmental impact. Eco-conscious tile was also seen from Roca Ceramica, with its Green Earth and Green Urban series produced with 80 percent recycled pre-consumer waste.
A growing trend called "healthy hospitality" design has architects and designers attempting to create balanced, rejuvenating hospitality spaces that are also hygienic. Inalco created an entire hotel room at its Cevisama booth, made completely from ceramic materials. It included louvered windows, flooring, headboard and furniture to show that tile is an ideal building material for the hospitality sector. Ceracasa introduced the Michael Banks Collection, which can be used for high-style headboards in hotel rooms.
Shimmer & revival
Metallics are infiltrating interior spaces, residential and commercial alike. Gres Catalan's Puzzle Series was one of the most applauded at the show, not only for its original design, but also for its versatility in various applications. Puzzle is a synthesis of optical illusion, lighting and changing brightness all based on geometric shapes. Dune introduced the Prisma Collection, an offering of 12 X 24 glass based on a selection of precious fabrics.
Decorativa unveiled Terracotta Glass - a new concept for interior flooring using handmade terracotta as a backing for fluxed glazes and surface brushing at differing speeds. Terracotta is the cornerstone of production at Decorativa. In addition to Terracotta Glass, the manufacturer also introduced Terracotta Colors, a chocolate floor tile, and the Tao series which features long ribs of terracotta arranged in different patterns, available in a 10 X 10 format.
Many of today's designers are attempting to capture this essence of the Old World in new building projects. Peronda attempted to reinvent marble with new collections Clays and Symphony.

Description: Annexation is the process by which cities expand their limits. Property that is outside of the City limits, but within Modesto's ultimate growth boundary (Sphere of Influence, or SOI), can be considered for annexation into the City limits.
Generally speaking, areas proposed for annexation must be large, adjacent to the City, contiguous and must lie within the City's General Plan boundary and Sphere of Influence. All proposals for annexation must:
Public advisory elections apply indirectly to the
annexation of new territory into the City of Modesto, by
requiring that an advisory election of the citizens of
Modesto be held prior to extending sewer improvements to new
areas with five or more dwelling units.
If the public advisory vote is affirmative, planning can begin. Prior to annexation:
Zoning becomes effective upon annexation and the property is thereafter subject to City regulations.
There are two major types of annexations, each of which has additional requirements, as noted below.
Undeveloped Land: "Undeveloped land" generally lies on the edge of the City and has little or no development and has been identified as a future growth area. Annexation must be supported by other property owners in the area proposed for annexation. Additionally, a specific plan [PDF] and environmental review must be prepared and approved by the City Council prior to annexation.
County "Island" or other developed County land: The majority of the area is developed, but it lies outside of City limits, and has a lower potential for new development than undeveloped land. These "Island" areas are typically either completely surrounded by the City on all sides or are substantially surrounded by the City. Residents may apply to annex to the City or the City may initiate annexation. All roads, sidewalks, street lights, and other infrastructure must be improved to City standards before annexation and before sewer and water service are extended. Typically, annexation must also be supported by other property owners within the area proposed for annexation.
More information about the City's annexation process is
available through the Community and Economic Development
Department. Information about the Local Agency Formation
Commission's (LAFCO's) annexation process is available at

When White House Chef Yosses quit this week, it was amidst a burning question over health care and nutrition that the Obama administration wants to keep tucked in its own oven mitt. Yosses was hired by the George W.Bush White House in 2007. Yosses stayed on during the height of the Oprah Winfrey Show Dr. Oz Whole Foods publicity machine. Winfrey is an unabashed personal shopper at Whole Foods. Whole Foods, by its own admission last week in Evanston, needs to find out why its marketing people will not accept trade publications in its store shelves. That answer is yet to come.
The truth is, Winfrey's empire began through Dennis Swanson, an ABC-TV insider based in Chicago at a time when it was becoming kosher to pump up minority hires. Winfrey was completely unknown to Chicago then, and Swanson's power pulled her up from a small-market broadcasting gig reporting in the Deep South. Winfrey was never born in Chicago and was a transplated Yuppie from the 60's generation. The 60's generation as a whole is known for protecting the drug culture that engaged smoking marijuana for recreation, not health.
Michelle Obama's fitness initiative and efforts to get on the holistic bandwagon is a blatant advertisement in ignorance. While it is true scientifically that a natural approach to eating is health, and that most religious texts revere that approach, it is also true that some foods, like butter and cream, and even bacon lard have stood the test of time as healthy and necessary to health and balance. Women who became housewives during the flapper era of the roaring 20's regularly kept bacon lard on hand not only as cost-efficient, but because it kept their families sharp. Even medical science, including Dr. Oz, now agrees that healthy fats keep the brain sharp and fit, and muscles and joints working properly. The better question is, in what amounts do we eat these things, and why aren't religious beliefs and differences accounted for in the Obama White House Affordable Health Care Act?
Whole Foods, the natural foods grocery chain, has been trying to keep a monopoly on its place in the holistic health trend since it's beginnings.
So has GNC. GNC in Skokie and Niles, Illinois, in the late 90's had strict corporate-based policies about how it could market products. And with good reason. If the company employees marketed a product without the disclaimer that they were not physicians, they could get locked up and sent to prison. Suffice to say this happened already to Kevin Trudeau, within the last year.
GNC had friends all over Capitol Hill in the last two decades trying to overturn unfair and strict policies that blocked innocent people from ancient cultures and religious practices from using herbs and spices without physician approval.
Prevention magazine for more than a decade has devoted its marketing efforts to protecting the Almighty Butter and Cream, with good reason. Their doctors have found through extensive research that there is a huge difference between fats and just any fats. The message from Prevention constantly protects the idea that all people are the same to a point. In other words, the individual genetic differences are real based on ancestral origins, and evolutionary adaptation. Prevention doctors pay close attention to these individual differences, while taking into account that everybody has some degree of atomic similarity.
Which brings the discussion back to the real issue, which brought about the real problems facing Obama today. Is he ignoring the lessons of the Bush White House? Bush's White House was the last of the World War II generation, the generation Tom Brokaw calls "The Greatest Generation."
Last night one survivor of the Nazi Holocaust, a Jewish man, a humble editor once at the Washington Post who appeared at the Highland Park library to tell the truth about his life experiences. He was the editor of the Post overseeing Woodward and Bernstein's Watergate coverage. His appearance said it all about what is really happening in health care in the White House. Plain and simple, it's okay to eat cream and butter. Those Depression era kids who went on to be Army and Air Corps men fighting to stop the Nazis would have been happy to have butter and bread on the table in moderation to stay alive when Mengele wanted everyone to be taking Haldol instead.

On May 1, 2014, Ubergizmo.com reported that CDI College in Canada, with 26 campuses and 5800 students, will distribute the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 to all students by the end of summer 2014. Given the dominance of iPads and Android devices, this is a decision that completely bucks the trend of adopting the marketing leaders. Although Microsoft has been aggressively marketing the Surface Pro 2, sales lag significantly behind Apple, Samsung, and other Android brands.
The Surface Pro 2 is arguably a device that is much more closely aligned to the needs of students when compared to other tablets. Important features include the full version of Windows 8.1 (not a mobile operating system), an active digitizer that supports pen input, an integrated keyboard cover, and hardware features to enable the connection to peripheral devices.
The Surface Pro is not relegated to primarily consumption activities; it is designed with productivity in mind. This is important for students because learning is an active process, and students need to create content through keyboard input, writing free hand, and using software applications.
The full version of Windows 8.1 means that students can not only run Office, but also install and use any Windows software as they would on a PC/laptop. Students are not limited to just apps, as they would be using other tablet choices. For many students, the Office applications are the primary tools used across most disciplines, but other software programs are also often needed. Having a tablet that can install legacy software is a great advantage of the Surface Pro 2.
The integration of the keyboard cover is a big leap forward for productivity. Content creation is still primarily facilitated using a keyboard. There is just no way around that. Touch screen are wonderfully convenient and fun to use, but are much too limiting for students that need to type extensively. The keyboard touch cover that attaches to the Surface Pro 2 in very thin yet enables a high quality and efficient touch typing experience.
Perhaps the most unique and valuable feature of the Surface Pro 2 is the inclusion of an active digitizer, which supports a stylus pen. This means that the writing experience on the screen is very similar to writing on paper. The digitizer enables a very natural writing experience on screen. There is no lag as one writes, and the pen is fine tipped like a pen/pencil. Students take notes extensively, and annotate digital texts; therefore, the writing capability of the Surface Pro 2 is an essential technology feature.
The Surface Pro 2 supports peripheral devices such as a mouse or printer. Printing is still a major need for students despite the ubiquitous use of digital media. For some types of software, the mouse is also a necessary tool. The option to use peripherals helps to close the gap between laptop and tablet functionality.
All in all, the students will likely be very pleased with the features, functions and performance of the Surface Pro 2. If the price of the Surface Pro 2 was more in line with iPads or Android products, we would likely see a much steeper adoption curve across college campuses. Hopefully the price does drop to a more affordable level so more schools and students will consider this viable tablet choice.

The Kevin Love saga may end by the end of August. According to a report by the St. Paul Pioneer Press Saturday, the Minnesota Timberwolves say they expect to trade the All-Star forward by Aug. 23 or Aug 24. His landing spot is highly likely to be Cleveland as the Cavaliers are reportedly the top suitor for Love.
Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor told the Pioneer Press that the team is abiding by Kevin Love's wishes. He said, "I'm saying it's most likely because Kevin has made it pretty clear that that's what he wants to do." The Cavaliers appear to be the landing spot for love because Aug. 23 is the first day Andrew Wiggins is eligible to be traded and Wiggins is a player the Wolves would love to receive in return for Love.
The Cavaliers signed Wiggins to a four-year deal on July 24 and because of league rules, Cleveland has to wait 30 days before they are able to trade him. While Minnesota is still listening to offers from the Golden State Warriors and Chicago Bulls, it appears obtaining Wiggins will be a key to the deal. Add that with the fact that LeBron James desperately wants Kevin Love in Cleveland and a trade seems to be imminent.
The trade would make the Cavaliers even more of a contender in the east and it would also give the Wolves a new look and fresh start. Taylor would love to keep Kevin Love, but knows the team has to get something in return while they can. That's why the team has been holding out for just the right kind of deal.
"I think when you move somebody like Kevin, who's been an all-star, that you've got to get a number of players on your team that have the potential of replacing him," Taylor said. "Flip (Saunders, Wolves president) has looked at this team and offensively, he's got a pretty good team. Defensively, it's got to be better, so I think that's where some of the areas will be replaced."
Cleveland has reportedly offered the Wolves a package of Wiggins, 2013 No. 1 overall pick Anthony Bennett and a future first-round pick. Although Bennett struggled towards the beginning of his rookie season, he did show glimpses of why he was taken No. 1 overall by the Cavaliers. Wiggins provides both the scoring and defense Taylor referred to. That's why many sources in the league believe the deal is more a "when" and not a "if" transaction ready to be made. The 25-year-old Kevin Love will more than likely be taking his talents to Cleveland right along with King James.

[patch] custom authentication with models.Model in django.contrib.auth.backends

|Easy pickings:
hi - here's a work-in-progress patch which should allow people to specify alternate
modules for authentication. In short, it introduces another variable in the user
settings file, which serves as the starting point for custom authentication.
If the user still cant authenticate agaisnt that model, then it fallback on the
User object. Please tell me if that works for you, since it's still work-in-progress
and it needs to be polished a lot.. :-)

here's initial revision -- comments are encouraged!
comment:1 Changed 10 years ago by ubernostrum
How does this differ from what you can already do with custom auth backends?
comment:2 Changed 10 years ago by ubernostrum
Also, using objects really isn't safe, because there's no guarantee that a given custom model will have a manager by that name -- using _default_manager, however, will always work.
comment:3 Changed 10 years ago by anonymous
ubernostrum: the reason i wrote this is for experimenting authentication with custom models.
If it works, i think it would be simpler (from a user-perspective) to just use django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend instead
of writing a custom backend. But yes, the latter option seems equivalent, if such a backend
would allow user authentication with anything else than the User class. I dont know how to use _default_manager - can you
pls give an example? :)
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by ubernostrum
Well, ordinarily if you grab a model, you think to do:
But because people can set up custom managers and avoid having the default objects manager, there's no guarantee that will work -- it's quite possible that you'll just get an AttributeError because someone's model is using a manager that's not named objects. To work around this, the attribute _default_manager always gets you the model's default manager, no matter what that manager happens to be called. Which means that doing
should always work, even when there's not a manager named objects.

The second event, high bar, is one of Stanford's strongest events, partly because Dylan Carney. The defending NCAA High Bar Champion amazed the crowd with his near flawless routine as he earned a score of 9.80, tying for the event high mark. Sender turned in the second highest score for team with his score of 9.30.
Up next for Stanford was the floor exercise where Greg Ter-Zakhariants posted a team high score of 9.35, followed by Brice Rolston with a solid score of 9.25.

The Cardinal recorded their highest event score of the night as they totaled a 38.15 to lead all teams once again. Heading into the final event, Stanford was in second place with a score of 181.10 behind California's 182.00.
The final event for the Cardinal was the vault, which allowed Sender to show the crowd why he was the defending NCAA Champion in the event. Sender was not waivered by nervs as he posted a score of 9.25 to lead all competitors. Ter-Zakhariants turned in an outstanding vault as well to earn a score of 8.85, helping Stanford to finish with a total score of 216.10.

An initially unconfirmed account by a caller to the Opie and Anthony morning show on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio that George Steinbrenner had died, quickly set off another internet celebrity death rumor, however, unlike other such net-fueled rumors in the past, this one turned out to be true.
The often-controversial baseball executive suffered a "massive heart attack" at his home in Florida, and has died, according to the Associated Press.
Steinbrenner, the outspoken and revered owner of the New York Yankees, had long been suspected of being in failing health. He had not been a part of the day to day operations of the ball club for many years, having handed over the reins to his sons Hank and Hal Steinbrenner.
As owner, George Steinbrenner, who turned 80 earlier this month, led the Yankees to seven World Series victories, and recently released a statement regarding the passing of legendary Yankees announcer Bob Sheppard.
We will update as more information becomes available.

Squash Flowers Stuffed with Crab
2 cups canola oil, for frying
12 zucchini or squash blossoms
3/4 pound crabmeat, picked clean
2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
1 lime, zest and juice
Dash of hot sauce (optional)
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 egg
1 cup cold club soda
1 cup flour
Salt, pepper
Pinch cayenne pepper
Heat oil to 350 degrees in a large skillet or Dutch oven.
Dust off the blossoms to remove any sand, dirt or bugs. Do not use water to clean, or the flower wilts. With your fingers, reach inside and carefully pull out the pistil. Set aside on wet paper towel and cover with a wet paper towel.
In a medium bowl, mix crab, jalapeno, zest, juice, hot sauce (optional), cilantro, mustard, mayonnaise, panko, salt and pepper to taste. Stuff each blossom with about a tablespoon of the crab mixture; close the flowers around the filling.
For the batter, whisk the egg with the cold club soda. Mix in flour and seasonings. Keep mixture cold.
Dip the zucchini blossoms 2 or 3 at a time in the batter and then into the hot oil. Fry until light golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels and add salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Steve Jobs, the Apple Co-founder, has long been criticized for his lack of philanthropic giving. His death last Wednesday left no opportunity unturned to celebrate his many gifts to the world of technology, but also brought attention to his lack of gifts to the public sector.
While his chief business competitor, Bill Gates, leads the world's largest foundation (The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) and has been a tremendous supporter of the Giving Pledge, an organization he founded with Warren E. Buffet, which encourages the world's wealthiest individuals to give away at least half of their fortunes to support community initiatives, Steve Jobs rarely made the headlines as it pertains to charitable giving. He refused to sign the Giving Pledge, nor has he ever made a public gift that appeared on The Chronicle's Philanthropy 50, an annual list of the world's largest charitable gifts. Yes, that's right -- despite accumulating an estimated $8.3 billion fortune through his holdings in Apple and a 7.4 percent stake in Disney (through the sale of Pixar), there is no public record of Mr. Jobs ever having given money to charity.
Another billionaire, Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart Stores, did not start the Walton Family Foundation until he was 69, just five years before his death. In his autobiography, Mr. Walton expressed misgivings about formal charity programs. "We have never been inclined to give any undeserving stranger a free ride." He was also reluctant for Wal-Mart itself to give money to charity. "We feel very strongly," he wrote, "that Wal-Mart really is not, and should not be, in the charity business."
With Atlanta being home to five billionaires according to the Forbes List of 400 Richest Individuals, not to mention most recent reports citing that 143,957 households in our 'Peach State' have a net worth of more than $1million, should we be ashamed that Atlanta is still the poorest city in the U.S. for children? Or that we are 45th in the nation as it pertains to education? Or that despite being home to 5,422 nonprofit organizations, Atlanta as a city and Georgia as a whole continuously remain at the bottom of nearly every quality of life and city comparison study (health, education, homelessness, poverty, joblessness, etc.). Should those who have more wealth feel more obligated to care for others? Or do more of our wealthy share the personal sentiments of Sam Walton? Perhaps we should all be equally responsible for our community's welfare - I mean, whose job is it anyway? (pun intended).
Disclaimer: There have been conversations as to whether or not Mr. Jobs anonymously gave gifts to support charities of his choice, but this has never been confirmed. I personally feel that Steve Jobs was a technological genius and have no ill feelings toward him or his family, regardless of their position on charitable giving.

Foster fail: A term of endearment within the rescue community; the foster parent can't imagine their lives without their foster animal, and adopt the animal themselves.
After obtaining a house of their very own, complete with a fenced-in backyard, Rebecca and her husband decided to begin fostering. They fostered several dogs and each one left paw prints on their hears.
One day, Rebecca saw that the rescue group she volunteered for was going to save two Labrador/Great Dane mix puppies, which the rescue would call Kaizer and Khapone. Her husband had always wanted a mix such as these, so she suggested to him that they foster them. Before they could even volunteer to foster them, another foster had stepped up to take the pups. There was some brief disappointment, but they were relieved the puppies were safe.
It didn't take long before the incredibly adorable Kaizer and Khapone were both adopted. However, as fate would have it, word soon reached Rebecca that Kaizer was going to be returned to the rescue; unfortunately, his adoptive family's baby had allergies. Rebecca immediately jumped on the chance to foster the returning puppy.
When she told her husband, he was undeniably excited. "My husband was beside himself, knowing this puppy was coming to our house! I even looked him square in the eye and denied any intention of keeping this dog," Rebecca said. She then added sarcastically, "Yeah, right."
"The dad of the adoptive family brought Kaizer to me, and it really broke my heart," Rebecca described of the day they began fostering Kaizer. "He hugged that boy so tight and apologized over and over, and barely said goodbye to me, he was almost in tears. And now I know why, because this wiggle worm won us over in about 24 hours. He is so much like our 8 year old Lab, it's unreal; incredibly smart, so cutely clumsy, and such a lover."
Rebecca and her husband fostered Kaizer for a few weeks, until he was officially adoptable. By that point, there was no question in anyone's mind that they would foster fail. They sent in their contract and Kaizer became a part of their family, with a new name: Leonidas, from the legendary Greek story about the 300 Spartans who fought bravely against the Persian invading force. Leonidas has a Labrador big brother named after Scottish hero William Wallace. "Now we have two matching sets of heroes," Rebecca said fondly.
When asked to describe how rescue and fostering has impacted her life, Rebecca answered, "My husband and I have always loved dogs. I never really understood the damage that could be done by breeders/puppy mills, nor the sheer number of animals that were just abandoned and waiting in shelters. So when a friend asked for donations to a local rescue for their wedding gift instead of presents, I donated and started getting emails and updates on different ways to help the rescue. When we began fostering, I was really nervous as to how our dogs would handle it, and I wish I had a way to thank them for their patience and understanding – my husband, too! Even with the torn up carpet and broken blinds, I just feel so happy when I know that I helped save an animal from sadness and death and found them a safe home and a loving family to spend their lives with, and I can only hope they appreciate them and the joy they bring like we do. I know we can't save them all, but we'll do our darnedest to help the ones we can."
Rebecca's experience is a perfect example of how you can help, no matter what position you are in at the moment. If you are unable to foster, but still want to help, ask your local rescue what you can do to support them. Make a difference today, even if it feels small. The animals and the ones who save them are relying upon it.

What does it mean to allow God to love you? It means to allow God into your life in such a way that all of your concerns become His and that by doing so the pressure is off you and on Him. (Zephaniah 3:17; Ephesians 3:17-19) You go to Him when things are questionable and you allow Him to guide you in the direction of purity and holiness. (Luke 22:40 & Romans 8:26) It means that you have faith that He loves you and that He wants what is best for you.
While we as Christians know that God loves us we don't always act that way. We punish ourselves by exerting our will over His. We follow the ways of the world instead. There is a saying- The world will offer you something good in order to rob you of something great. The fast-food, get-rich-quick, keeping-up-with-the-Joneses instant gratification world we live in distracts us from the simplicity and purity of the world God gave us to begin with. We begin to see those distractions as the way we ought to live and thereby make them our God-replacements. Our reward for this is guilt and anxiety. We become anxious that we won't bring in enough money to pay for our lifestyle. We feel guilt when we eat less than healthy or don't get the exercise our body needs. We struggle with the realization that we don't give the time and energy to the areas of our lives that are more important yet less demanding.
When we allow God to love us we no longer care to have more than is necessary for us to survive. Let me clarify: survival by God's standard and not society's. (1 John 2:15-17) When you follow society's need to be on top of fashion trends in order to gain the respect and admiration of your peers, you have allowed your love of the world to overshadow God's love for you. God loves you for who you are and not what you wear. Believe it or not, but so will the people who really matter in your life. God doesn't require you to have some monstrosity with huge mortgage payments you can't keep up with and so much space it gets filled with stuff and not love. He calls us to be financially responsible and content with what we have. (Hebrews 13:5) When we focus on God's love for us, the rest becomes unimportant.
What's more is that when you allow God to love you, you seek to show that love to others. God's love is funny that way. You can't just keep it for yourself. You must give it away. This will be done in the form of the Spirit (1 John 4:13) whose fruit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. (Galatians 5:22) We no longer care to bring other people down in order to lift us up. We don't see other people's flaws and we don't feel the need to compare ourselves to the standards of the earthly world. Instead, we look for the good in all. We give encouragement, help and even the shirt off our back if necessary. (Luke 3:11) In short, we treat others as God treats us.
So the question now becomes: Will you actually take the time to examine your life for the areas you struggle to keep God's love from making the difference? Will you allow God to love you?

This being the first year back in the states I was not surprised by the small attendance. I think next years attendance will be much bigger as Americans understand what a special event this was. What a race Gregg, Pete, Gee, Aaron where just flying. You really have to see it in person to understand how big, how fast and how smooth they are. I cannot wait for next year. More cowbells.

5 Tips for Shooting Close-Ups with Your Digital SLR
Notice your surroundings.
This shot was taken on a bridge next to an ornate stone sign. Interestingly, the sign was covered in spiders. One had spun a web between the sign and a tree.
Part of the challenge was getting the spider in focus. It was dark, and not the best situation to try manual focus. At this distance, the depth of field is small enough that manually focusing is pretty much impossible. This shot relied on the camera's AF system to target the spider.
Although a bit creepy, the shot turned out. It didn't allow for a ton of lens work for this close-up. The shot uses an 18–55mm kit lens, which meant it is zoomed in and the photographer had to stand close.
Settings: f/8, 1/160 second, ISO 100, 55mm focal length. APS-C.

It's back to Sarah (Tatiana Maslany) and Cal (Michiel Huisman) in the Wednesday, March 5 sneak peek of "Orphan Black" season 2 that BBC America released on its Instagram.
We've already gotten one sneak peek of these two showing that Sarah definitely has a new love interest (but maybe we shouldn't feel bad for Paul since he's off with pro-clone Rachel), and now this one shows that Cal is definitely going to be right in the middle of things.
In season 2, Sarah is on the run and in a desperate race to find her daughter, but with this new "Orphan Black" clip, it looks like things are just going to keep getting more and more complicated – especially since the police are once again going to get involved.
Something happens that makes Cal want to call the police, but Sarah protests. "I can't do cops," she tells him. "We just need to get out of here NOW." But it may be a bit too late to run; there's a police car coming their way. What's Sarah going to do?
"Orphan Black" season 2 premieres April 19 on BBC America. What do you think Sarah's gotten herself into this time?

There's absolutely no shame in almost reaching the top of the mountain. It's a huge undertaking to make a Top 5 list like this, and a great accomplishment to reach slots three or two. Today's picks are among the best games of the year. In fact, there's only one or two games we liked better in the entire calendar year. Who knows, maybe you'll like them better than our actual top picks!
Be sure to check out our entries for our fifth and fourth favorite games of 2012 from yesterday, and stay tuned for our top picks tomorrow!
Like many folks involved in the indie gaming scene, I was watching FEZ for what felt like decades. I mean, it was only years. Have a little patience, guys. Getting the chance to actually play a demo of the game at PAX East 2011 was awesome, and it left me quite excited for its impending release later that year. Of course the joke was on me, as it didn't even release until 2012. That said, it ended up as one of the best of the entire year, despite the drama surrounding Phil Fish and the internet.
At first I wasn't sure how I felt about FEZ. I'm not sure why, but I expected a platformer with an emphasis on challenging patterns that tested my skill jumping skills. Yes, even after playing the demo. Hours upon hours after delving deep in to the world Polytron crafted, I discovered that FEZ succeeds as an enigmatic cavalcade of puzzles that just happens to use platforming as a form of world navigation. There's so much more to Gomez' adventure than is initially apparent that I don't even want to touch on it here in fear of spoiling it for someone who has yet to take the plunge themselves. All I'll say is be prepared for the game to take you deeper than you would have ever imagined.
2. Bleed – Xbox Live Indie Games, PC
I'd like to apologize to Bootdisk Revolution for not being able to pick two number one favorite games of the year. I love Bleed with literally all of my heart and I hate that it couldn't edge tomorrow's list-topper. Why there aren't more games with the same design philosophy as what's found here is absolutely mind-boggling. Perfect and innovative controls, pixel graphics, a chiptune soundtrack… this is what a retro-influenced game in the modern era should aspire toward.
Bleed is as good as it is because it stands on its own innovations rather than leaning on its old-school trappings. Yes, everything is drawn in 2D, and yes, it's all pixelated. But the wisely designed controls prevent it from feeling like a retread into outdated conventions. Jumping with the shoulder trigger is alien at first — you might think you'll do better a classic face button scheme at first — but you'll eventually find it facilitates greater control while you're zooming through storms of bullets in slow-motion. It also frees your thumb up to use the right thumbstick to shoot anywhere. You absolutely need the expanded control if you want to defeat the bosses. Yes, they are difficult (on Hard and Very Hard especially) but their patterns, while complex and numerous, are manageable if you play with patience. If you have any interest at all in anything Bleed has to offer, you owe it to yourself to download a demo and give it a fair shot. It didn't make number two by being mediocre.
3. 10000000 – iOS
10000000 at first glance looks like you standard match 3 puzzle game, and at it's core that is what most of the game consists of. Luckily there is an extra layer thrown on top that adds in RPG elements and extends the life of the game considerably. Unlike many other puzzle games there is an eventual goal, to reach 10000000 points, which will free your character from the dungeon he is locked in. Only by unlocking new weapons and upgrades can you complete the challenge and make it out of the dungeon.
The thing that impressed me the most about this game was how hard it was for me to put down. Every run is essentially the same for the most part, but matching up different icons on the screen has a certain effect, and it's challenging due to the fact that you want to save certain tiles for specific situations you encounter throughout the run. Your character is shown at the top of the screen and reaching enemies or doors requires you to match specific tiles together. This leads to many frantic situations that feel really rewarding when you can figure out the puzzle. It is incredibly easy to lose a few hours in this game and I couldn't put it down until the very end.
2. Minigore 2 – iOS
The first Minigore was one of my favorite games on the iPhone but I always wished it had more to offer. It was a great dual joystick shooter that was incredibly polished, but lacked the content that it needed to keep me playing. Minigore 2 retains the same look and feel of the original and it adds a ton of content with more levels, enemies and weapons. Everything I felt was missing from the first game is here and more.
On top of the title offering a number of different stages, there is now a store that allows you to upgrade not only your characters, of which there are plenty, but also your weapons. Challenges are spread out throughout the level that keep things fresh by forcing you to try new things, and there are tons of new enemies to encounter as well as a number of awesome boss battles. It's the one game on my iPad that I keep coming back to over and over again, and one that I can easily see spending a good chunk of time with this year as well. Do yourself a favor and go download it on your iPhone or iPad right away.
3. Journey – PlayStation Network
Creating a moving story and experience without words, background information, or dialogue is a feat of mastery and ThatGameCompany has done just that with Journey. If you're looking for an argument that games can be art (not looking to argue that right now), Journey is certainly a shining example for what games are capable of for the medium. And that isn't even counting how beautiful the game is with perfect lighting, and rendering of the structures and elements it makes the world feel not only living but believably immersive.
While not being a long game Journey doesn't need to be, it is a generally relaxing experience with the right amount of tension to pull together the climax and is put together as though you should play through it in a sitting. Fortunately it's short enough to do your first time through without poking around every nook and cranny. Going on your first Journey feels so good and completing it is something that will be hard to forget.
2. Mark of the Ninja – Xbox Live Arcade, PC
I was going to say that it's rare that a game could change the way I thought a genre of games could be, but I honestly think cannot think of a game I have played that has re-written the formula for a game so positively that I could enjoy a genre I don't typically fancy. Klei has found a way to make the clunky, plodding nature of stealth games and made it action filled, smooth, and exciting.
You actually feel like a ninja with the skills and options available to you while the game generally avoiding penalizing you for using the tricks you have up your sleeve and rewarding you for being stealthy and creative. This creates a simply enjoyable experience that ceases to slow once you pass Klei's beautiful animations slowly unveiling a surprisingly interesting story. Mark of the Ninja could have easily been my top pick if I didn't enjoy my number one so much, stay tuned till tomorrow everybody!

Bill Hornaday is a BFA graduate from UCLA, where he attended both the Art and Film Schools. He has been working in metal sculpture since 1995, primarily creating sculptural steel vessels and their larger progeny, architectural columns and larger sculpture. Bill's studio, NAGA FORGE, is located in Santa Cruz, California. His works range from small vessels to large pieces in excess of ten-feet tall. Hornaday refined his organic and sensual style with the smaller vessels, which originally served as design models for larger architectural adornments and sculptures. The sculptural vessels have been well received, winning praise and prizes, including a best-of-show Merit award at the 1997 Smithsonian Craft Show in their very first exhibition to the public. Bill's work continues to be seen in museums, shows and exhibitions across the country.
Hornaday has traveled extensively in Southeast Asia, China, Central and South America, as well as Europe, to study art and metal working in each of these areas. Throughout these travels he has developed a deep appreciation of tribal art, especially through the teaching of metalworkers in China and Japan. With ritual objects, the user claims his position as link between the past and the future generations, all of them connected by common ancestors, deities, and the story of their creation.
Hornaday seeks through his work to create a powerful and alchemical process of transforming steel into objects of unexpected beauty and delicacy. No matter the size, each piece begins its life as commercial steel pipe and structural tubing. Usually his material comes from the recycled surplus of commercial building construction. At 2300 degrees steel becomes extremely plastic and malleable. The artist, the fire, the water and the steel improvise to reach the final rhythm of artistic synthesis, which in many cases evokes the sinuous female form, a powerful model for inspiration and in itself a symbol of strength and beauty.
