Post subject: Can't conceive where to find help
My husband had cancer, we have been trying for over 5 years, we can't afford IVF or adoption, I've never been so depressed, I do have a child from a previous man (never married him) my husband "S" treats her like his own and she does also, I want so bad for us to have that bond and make memories and all family things, it hurts so bad I can't hardly explain how I feel, my emotions are so all over the place, I feel that we are falling apart, I want us to share everything that has to due with the pregnancy all the way through to the end. I want those memories with him so much it hurts inside, we get very upset seeing all teens getting abortions ECT we would do anything to have that with each other from putting together toys, cribs, watching them grow month by month and holidays O M G would be the best just to see the look in a child's eyes looking at Christmas lights or waiting for the Easter Bunny, we want that so bad, but we will never have it.
I just wish some way we could afford to have a child or adopt, It would be a miracle if a baby was left at my door! I know wishful thinking. It just feels like there's no purpose for celebrating holidays or anything anymore. What do I do?

Firstly I am sorry to hear of your struggle, it took us 5 yrs of trying and several heartaches before paying privately for treatment. Has your husband been to the doctors for a sperm test? and secondly if you are in the uk why not look into adoption?

GearHead Wednesday 14-04
Got a gear question you want answered? Send your gear questions to me at Gear Questions and I'll do my best every Wednesday to answer as many questions as I can. Keep in mind the answers are just my $.02 worth and you have to take what works for you and embrace it and ignore the rest. So here's this weeks questions ….
A year ago I bought a Nikon D-800 that I was happy with although the pictures weren't tack sharp. Later I bought a 24-70 f2.8 which also wasn't sharp. Took the camera and lens to the local camera shop and they told me that even using the maximum AFA fine tuning it was still off. I returned the lens. Later bought the 80-400 Nikon and couldn't get a tack sharp photo.
Bottom line-send the camera to Nikon and now it is tack sharp.
Question-What do you do when getting new equipment to ensure that it is functioning properly and focusing accurately? Do you just shoot some pictures or do you use focusing targets?
Lynn, glad to hear you're getting the results you want, that's important! When I get a new piece of gear, body or lens, I marry myself to that piece of gear for a couple of weeks. And I shoot, shoot, shoot! No matter what it is or its main purpose, I will use that piece of gear for everything I shoot to understand what are its strengths. Real world shooting is how I "test" any piece of gear, no targets or newspaper tacked to a wall. Now keep in mind that the photographer is just as important a variable in the "great image" equation as the gear. I start my shooting with an odd old tradition of taking a picture of my big toe (long story) and then I normally point it at the dogs, my wife, the house, but never a focusing target.
In all my years of testing and shooting gear, I've only come across a handful of lenses where they were truly the issue (and these were three different brands) for image softness. And especially with the D800, I heard a lot of "sharpness" issues for shooters. All the issues I got to see and test personally were what I call politely, pilot error. The D800 captures a ton of detail, good and bad. I wish I could have shot with your system prior to it being sent in because while very rare, these things do happen and I would love to have seen it first hand.
Hey Moose,
Do you ever calibrate your telephoto lens with your camera bodies? And if you do, what do you consider an acceptable range for the AF Fine Tuning value?
Randy, this is a real common question and regrettably, my answer is real disappointing. Nope, I never have calibrated a lens/camera and in talking with my peers, so far, haven't found a single one who does as either. Do folks do it? Oh heck ya. Any many swear by it. Does it hurt image quality? I've not seen anything to suggest it does. I did shoot once with a body and three lenses that were calibrated and to be honest, I didn't see any "wow" in sharpness it delivered. Does it make a difference? I have meet some photogs who swear by it, but personally I have not had issues with my sharpness that this would cure.
Hi Moose,
I currently shoot with a Canon cropped sensor camera and like the extra reach that the 1.6x crop factor offers for wildlife and sports photography. As I contemplate a move to a full frame body and how that might impact my lens selection, I have the following question:
Using a 400mm lens an example, if I'm able to fill the frame with a subject on my cropped sensor, which of these scenarios will offer the best image quality?
· 400mm on a cropped sensor camera. Subject fills the frame.
· 400mm on a full frame sensor camera. Crop the image in post to fill the frame
· 400mm + 1.4x or 1.7x extender on full frame sensor camera to fill the frame.
I currently shoot with a Canon 7D and am considering a Canon 5D-MK-III
I enjoy Gearhead Wednesdays. Keep 'em coming!
Dan, less focal length often produces the best quality for most because it isn't as dependent on perfect technique for good results. As focal length increases, so must ones technique to get that sharp image (might refer to Long Lens technique video). With that said, as I mentioned in last week's GearHead, I've shot with all the teleconverters (even Canon over the decades) and never had any loss of quality. Sensor size doesn't matter, it's all about the photographer's skills brought to the click.
Like many photogs, I have the impression you're over thinking this a whole lot. First and foremost, the size of the sensor isn't the keystone factor here. How close physically you get to the subject is the keystone factor. "Get close physically and use optic to isolate" is something I've been teaching for a long time. Sensor size nor focal length matters to image size when you zoom with your feet. It does matter in how much of the background is incorporated and there lies the storytelling.
I've had an Epson 4900 for a year or so, and I printed on it fairly regularly. I had to go out of state for about six weeks, and when I came back home I was anxious to print some photos. I tried to print some test prints and they came out looking bad, indicating many clogged nozzles. After several cleaning functions the problem remained. I called Epson servicing and they determined a new print head had to be installed – at a cost of more than what a new 4900 would cost me. Even the service tech advise to throw out the printer and buy a new one, rather than fixing this one. So, it appears my 1 1/2 year old Epson 4900 is destined for the dumpster, after a life time of printing less than 300 prints. How do you avoid clogged print heads on your 4900? The service tech indicated this printer is meant to be turned on once, and to be run continually (do not let it sit idle for more than a day or two). Do you run prints on a daily basis? This is just not practical for most of us. Now I'm worried about getting a replacement printer. Should I use a printing service rather than buying a new printer? Any thoughts or suggestions?
Rob, you are not the first to have this issue or this problem. My best friend had the same thing this past summer. I've had my Epson 4900 now since prior to the world knowing about them and it just keeps pounding out the prints, the count over 5000. Clogged heads seems to be a constant thread and I regret that I've not had that issue with either my 7900 or 4900 to have a solution. And I do everything technically you're not supposed to do. I live in a very dry environment, humidity usually less than 10%. The 7900 might go a couple of months between printing. The 4900 is on at least once a month and with both, when I do a printing session, it's an all dayer.
Unlike what many avoid, I have the AutoClean turned on and while it does technically use more ink and ink is expensive, I don't have these issues. Normally, I turn on a printer 30min prior to use. 15min prior to printing I manually run the cleaning cycle. Then I go to printing after that cycle is done. And there are times while printing, things come to a halt as it has to clean again even though I might have manually done it just one print earlier. And with that, I've not had, knock on wood, any issues with my printers.
I ~really~ don't like how "disposable" nature of printers when it comes to problems, but I can't change that. I can tell you that my best friend did have his print heads swapped out and has been printing like a mad man ever since without an issue. I swear by my 4900 and would recommend getting another one to you. Wish I could be of greater help!
Thank you for Gearhead Wed! Even if some questions are not questions I have, it is always good to retain knowledge in case of future problems.
I am a longtime follower of your blog and have read your print lab series and still have problems printing effortlessly. Then I saw your blog report on PrinTao 8, and will say, this looks like it would be easy to use. My gearhead question is as follows:
I have an Epson 4900 but I do not print frequently. Sometimes I may go two or three months between printing. I now am faced with nozzle clogs because of infrequent use and cannot seem to get clear. The printer is fairly new (2 years old) with probably only 50 to 75 prints total. Once I am able to get the nozzles cleared, what is the best maintenance to use for printers with low volume printing. And maybe how to unclog and keep clear the nozzles?
Ray, glad you saw PrinTao, it really does a great job! As you can see above, you're not alone with this issue. I'm hoping that some of above will help you. Keep in mind that the ink is not a liquid, it's a funky "powder." While I have no proof, nor has anyone said anything to me about this, but I have always felt that my lack of issues might be related to the fact that before I insert a new cartridge, to say I shake it, is an understatement. Now logically, you wouldn't think this would make any difference as the system is charged. But it is the only thing I do about the printer that is not in the instruction book.
I am looking for some guidance. I currently have a D7000 that I use primarily for wildlife and nature photography. I am getting great shots with the lenses that I currently have( DX: 40mm, 55-300 mm and share 18-55 with my son). I am considering investing in the 17-55 f2.8 and letting son keep the other for his D3100. Question is, is the 17-55 f2.8 that much better than the 18-55 f3.5-5.6. The reason I ask is I am considering upgrading to a D610 next year and getting a used F6 so that I can shoot film.
Jay, it's great you're doing photography with your son! I can tell you first hand, there simply is nothing more rewarding (especially when they get the better shot!). If I understand the unlinking part of your question, you want to buy a lens now for a DX sensor that you can use later when you move to a FX sensor. If this is the case, the 17-55f2.8 is a DX lens and while it will attach and work on the FX camera, it won't totally cover the image area. With all of that in mind, I would recommend going with something like the 16-35AFS or 18-35AFS if you want to move it up to FX. If I'm not understanding this correctly and you're not moving to the FX sensor, than I would definitely second your choice of the 17-55f2.8!

See the reference below. It also defends the Microsoft monopoly.
Channel 4 offering on-demand TV for UK users but not Mac/Linux compatible!

| Seriously, this has gone too far, they explicitly state on their site
| that they're required to use a certain DRM by their content owners
| which is obviously WMV:

Feeling the heat at Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest
| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. If I ask
| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
Microsoft SEC filing:
"A prominent example of open source software is the Linux operating system.
Although we believe our products provide customers with significant advantages
in security, productivity, and total cost of ownership, the popularization of
the open source software model continues to pose a significant challenge to
our business model, including continuing efforts by proponents of open source
software to convince governments worldwide to mandate the use of open source
software in their purchase and deployment of software products. To the extent
open source software gains increasing market acceptance, sales of our products
may decline, we may have to reduce the prices we charge for our products, and
revenue and operating margins may consequently decline."

Status Quo: Can't watch the news in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| As you can see, we had one site that improved (CBS News) and one site that
| has actually gotten worse (BBC News). Congratulations to CBS news for joining
| the 21-century. I am not sure what to say about BBC News. Apparently, the BBC
| is now using a new video player called the "BBC iPlayer", which only supports
| Microsoft Windows operating systems. Because of this, there was a lot of
| controversy about the highly restricted player, including this petition.
BBC Director General grilled by MPs on iPlayer
,----[ Quote ]
| During the meeting there is discussion of iPlayer's total cost to the licence
| fee-payer - the BBC representatives are unable to give a figure, but start
| the bidding at £20m, excluding staff costs. Thomson gives incorrect
| information - that Mac and Linux versions of iPlayer have the same
| functionality as Windows versions - and has to change his evidence at the
| end. Perhaps it was this confusion that prompted Dr John Pugh MP to follow up
| the encounter with a letter direct to Mark Thomson today discussing platform
| neutrality in greater detail. A copy of this letter has been passed to the
| Open Rights Group.
BBC Corrupted
,----[ Quote ]
| Today the BBC made it official -- they have been corrupted by Microsoft. With
| today's launch of the iPlayer, the BBC Trust has failed in its most basic of
| duties and handed over to Microsoft sole control of the on-line distribution
| of BBC programming. From today, you will need to own a Microsoft operating
| system to view BBC programming on the web. This is akin to saying you must
| own a Sony TV set to watch BBC TV. And you must accept the Digital
| Restrictions Management (DRM) that the iPlayer imposes. You simply cannot be
| allowed to be in control of your computer according to the BBC.
BBC iPlayer Protests
,----[ Quote ]
| Who are the people responsible for creating this mess?
| * Mark Thompson, BBC director general (DG)
| * Erik Huggers, group controller at BBC Future Media & Technology
| * Ashley Highfield, director of new media and technology
| Right now, there is very considerable concern within the BBC that the actions
| of the Director General and his team are sending the corporation in the wrong
| direction. The BBC has been embroiled in a number of recent controversies,
| all linked back to the DG's leadership.
Why Linux Users Should Be Furious At BBC
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently the BBC had a bit of a wake up call regarding numbers and how many
| Linux users were really out there. Why does any of this matter? It has to do
| with something the BBC provides called the iPlayer. Seriously, relying on
| ActiveX is so "1990's" that it's painful, and as luck would have it, the
| Linux users who wish to use this BBC player made sure that the BBC knew that
| they were making the sought after content inaccessible to those people using
| Linux.
| No iPlayer for Linux Users, But There Will Be An Alternative. Based on what I
| have been able to gather thus far, it looks like we will see an Adobe Flash
| option coming out soon. Then again, who really cares? Seriously, if the BBC
| is this foolish to ignore how much Linux growth is taking place both in the
| UK as well as the surrounding countries, then maybe people ought to be
| looking elsewhere? Is it because this is indeed, the BBC? So there is the
| belief that this is the people's media? Up until now, I enjoyed much of what
| the BBC had to offer, but this entire thing is enough to have pushed me away.
Beeb slammed for 'fawning' to Bill Gates
,----[ Quote ]
| BBC viewers have flooded the corporation with complaints over how it
| covered the launch of Microsoft Vista earlier this week.
| In one cringingly servile interview worthy of Uriah Heep, the
| Beeb's news presenter Hugh Edwards even thanked Gates at the
| end of it, presumably in appreciation at being allowed to give
| the Vole vast coverage for free.
| In other TV news items presenters excitedly explained how Vistac
| ould be obtained and installed - details courtesy of the BBC's
| website.
| But British viewers, currently forced to pay a £131.50 licence
| fee to maintain the BBC's "impartiality", were less than impressed.
| Scores got in touch to complain that so much was Auntie up Bill's
| bum that you could barely see her corset.
BBC: Death by a thousand top-slices
,----[ Quoet ]
| So it looks like the end of the unique, state-centric model for funding the
| BBC. An incoming Conservative administration is unlikely to be more
| sympathetic to the BBC, with its stifling bureucracy and monopoly control
| over a compulsory tax.

News :: Flood update: Cedar River level slowly decreasing
· 9:40am June 23rd, 2014
After a few anxious days for those who remember the impact of the Flood of 2008, the Cedar River has crested; the water level in Vinton is now slowly decreasing.
According to the most recent National Weather Service Cedar River web page, the river reached 17.81 feet Monday night, but had decreased to 17.51 feet by 9:15 a.m. this morning. That is considered "minor flooding."
A few streets in Vinton were covered with water on Monday, and the low-lying areas north of the Cedar River have been under water for a few days. But no homes were damages.
Benton County Emergency Management Agency Director Scott Hansen said on Friday that as long as there are no heavy rains in the Cedar River basin north of Vinton, there should be no threat of severe flooding.
The weather forecast for the area does not predict any chance of rain until Wednesday, when a 30 percent chance is expected.

▪ Objective: To determine whether the presence of anticardiolipin antibodies is a risk factor for ischemic stroke and venous thrombosis in healthy adult men.
▪ Design: A nested, case-control study in a prospective cohort.
▪ Setting: A nationwide study of physicians.
▪ Participants: The study sample was drawn from the Physicians' Health Study, a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of aspirin and beta-carotene in 22 071 male physicians. At entry, 68% of the participants submitted plasma samples that were subsequently frozen at -80 °C. During 60.2 months of follow-up, follow-up for nonfatal outcomes was 99.7% complete and ascertainment of fatal outcomes was 100% complete. We identified men with documented ischemic stroke, deep venous thrombosis of the leg, or pulmonary embolus and for whom a plasma sample was available. A control was matched by age, smoking history, and length of follow-up to each of the 100 patients with ischemic stroke and the 90 patients with deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolus.
° Measurements: Plasma samples were assessed for IgG anticardiolipin antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mean anticardiolipin antibody titers of the case patients in the two diagnostic groups (ischemic stroke; venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolus) were compared with those of the control groups, and relative risks were calculated for patients in increasing percentile categories of anticardiolipin antibodies by conditional logistic regression.
° Results: The anticardiolipin antibody titers were higher in case patients with deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus than in their matched controls (P = 0.01). Persons with anticardiolipin antibody titers above the 95th percentile had a relative risk for developing deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolus of 5.3 (95% Cl, 1.55 to 18.3; P = 0.01). The anticardiolipin antibody titers in case patients with ischemic stroke and controls were not significantly different (P > 0.2), and no clear trend of higher risks among those with elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies was observed.
▪ Conclusion: An anticardiolipin antibody level above the 95th percentile is an important risk factor for deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolus but not for ischemic stroke in healthy adult men.

Police defended a delay of over an hour before officers arrived at the scene of a car bomb alert in Newry, County Down. A hijacked taxi, containing a suspect device, was abandoned close to houses on Martins Lane last Saturday night. Residents used their own cars to block the road and tried to divert traffic themselves as they waited for police. The PSNI said they did not attend immediately for safety reasons and the alert was later declared a hoax.

A man died in a house fire in west Dublin in the early hours of last Thursday morning. It is believed a chip pan was the cause of the blaze. The man, known locally as Seamus Phelan, had been living on his own in the house in Lucan, and was believed to be in his fifties. The alarm was raised at around 1:30 am in the Esker Park estate when neighbors heard an alarm ringing and spotted smoke coming from the windows.

Fellow members of the Association of Catholic Priests have voiced their solidarity with the Galway priest who has been silenced by the Vatican over his backing for the Taoiseach's condemnation of the Church's response to clerical sex abuse in Ireland. Fr. Tony Flannery, who is based in the Redemptorist Monastery in Esker, was silenced following his public support of Taoiseach Enda Kenny's attack on the Vatican's handling child sex abuse allegations. The Taoiseach, speaking in the Dáil earlier this year, called on the Catholic Church to apologize.

Though the eyes of the world may have been on the US Masters last weekend, the hot topic on everyone's lips last Friday night wasn't how Tiger Woods or Rory McIlroy was faring, but rather: "Who was the fella in the Kerry jersey?"
As Tom Watson finished his round, the camera caught sight of a man at the front of the crowd wearing a Kerry GAA jersey. Though the image was brief, tournament coverage was being beamed live across the world by ESPN, Sky Sports and BBC, prompting social media networks to become alive with chatter as to the identity of the mystery man wearing the Green and Gold. As of now, the name of the Kerry fan remains unknown.

Police in Balitore and Castledermot are investigating the possibility of a link between the theft of a car in Ballitore and a break-in at a house in Castledermot. On Tuesday April 3rd at approximately 2:20 am, burglars gained entry to a house in Timolin by forcing open a dining room. The raider, or raiders, found car keys in the house and left the scene in a black X5 series BMW. On the previous night, April 2, raiders had also gained entry to a house at The Friary in Castledermot by forcing open the front door. Investigations are ongoing as to whether the two incidents are linked.

Kilkenny hurler Henry Shefflin will scale new heights at Croke Park this summer when he takes to the roof of the Hogan Stand to carry the Olympic torch. The Ballyhale man has been chosen by the GAA to represent the organization in carrying the Olympic torch as it makes its way to the Opening Ceremonies in London. For once, however, the hurling legend will be on unfamiliar ground at Headquarters, as he will be running not onto the pitch, but across the roof of the fabled Hogan Stand.

Laois is one of the counties earmarked for the route of the major new electricity pylon project that would link Cork to Dublin. Eirgrid has announced that it is starting a consultation process on the estimated €500 million Grid Link Project to upgrade the electricity grid in the south and east of Ireland. The company says the development will involve the construction of a new power line linking Leinster and Munster, and will involve the building of large scale 400kv pylons along the route.

Hi folks,I have something small (though bigger than dust particles) that's either stuck on the inside of my viewfinder, or somewhere else inside my camera.It's visibile when I look through the viewfinder using any of my lenses, so I am comfortable that this is interior debris.TBH, I can live with it, but if anyone has any smart advice of how I might get to it/rid of it, I'm all ears Have already had a good blow with the rocket blower (though haven't done it with mirror up yet) - any thoughts?B

Have you checked your mirror for dust? That is one of the more likely places for it to exist. If there is dust there.blow it off being careful not to hit the mirror with the blower.

I'm assuming you don't see it on the pictures (or on live-view, if your camera has it).Look inside the body at the mirror, as had been previously noted, but also look at the bottom of the pentaprisim (will be directly above the mirror), as the dust may be there; as that gets magnified, it will look larger. Be very careful cleaning there, as that could affect the veiwfinder's information screen.If it is in both viewfinder and live-view/shot, it is going to be the lens.

Def not the lens. Thanks for the tips though, will give it a bash

Hi, I had the same problem, then started getting dust on the sensors. I was able to clean the dust from the sensors, but the viewfinder debris wouldn't go away. I started developing this debris/dust after 1500+ shutter clicks. The debris from the viewfinder never showed up in any photos, but the dust was visible (barely). I sent it to Nikon and they cleaned it up under warranty. BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!! They replaced the Shutter Mechanism as well. I don't know if this is the solution to the dust problem everyone else seems to be having. I'll update after another 1000+ shots unless someone else post something regarding the Shutter Mechanism replacement as a "cure" to the dust problem. -Gerry

The use of iodine as a therapeutic aid dates back through the ages. Records from Chinese Medicine show they recognised it's importance and traditional use was focused on iodines role in the nourishment of the thyroid gland, which later became understood as for the production of T3 and T4 hormones and the regulation of metabolism. Nowadays, the understanding of iodine's roles in the body continues to increase and it's critical role in detoxification continues to be studied. More recently, the nuclear disaster at Fukushima brought iodine back to the fore because of it's ability to help protect the body from radioactive isotopes.
What is Nascent Iodine?
Nascent Iodine is a consumable iodine in its atomic form rather than its molecular form. It is an iodine atom that has an incomplete number of electrons. It is paramagnetic. What does that mean? Well, it means that the iodine atoms can hold an electromagnetic charge. While this all might sound a little like a flashback to chemistry class, the most important thing to understand is that Nascent Iodine has a huge energy release when consumed. This charged state is held by the atom until diluted in water and consumed, whereby it gradually loses energy over a 2-3 hour time span. During this time, Nascent Iodine is recognized by the body as the same iodine that is produced by the thyroid and is absorbed effortlessly by the body.
It's worth pointing out that there are other forms of iodine on the market, ranging from food based supplements (often seaweed derived) through hormone filled medicines as well as other laboratory based formulas. Nascent iodine is different from these band it is designed for high absorbion rates.
Why is Iodine so important?
All the cells in your body contain and make use of iodine. It is concentrated in the glandular system of your body, with your thyroid containing the highest amount compared to any other organ. Significant amounts are also stockpiled in numerous other areas of the body including the salivary glands, cerebrospinal fluid and the brain, gastric mucosa, choroid plexus, breasts, and ovaries. Iodine deficiency is believed to be a primary cause of Ovarian Cysts, including Polycystic Ovaries and although everyone needs it, females typically have a higher need for it.
How soon will I feel the effects of Nascent Iodine?
Depending upon how short of iodine your body is, the effects can be quick. Those with Iodine deficiency often start to feel additional energy and a sense of balance returning after a day. Those taking it as a preventative or as part of a maintenance programme may have less conscious effects
How is Nascent Iodine used?
One drop provides 400mcg of iodine.
If using for additional energy and general improved health take up to 6 drops daily. Frequent small doses are more effective than larger amounts at less frequent intervals. Always take on an empty stomach. Most will find that it is important to build up gradually in order to experience the least amount of detoxification symptoms.

What an awesome opener to the At-tamwil University Cup which took place last night at Hassanal Bolkiah Stadium. Both ITB "A" and UNISSA "A" battled to a 5-5 draw but the big news was the comeback effort by UNISSA "A" who were trailing 3-0 15 minutes into the game. I would have thought it was game over by then as ITB "A" were simply unstoppable on every attack.
However, it was UNISSA "A" number 10. Julazni Zaini who started the comeback by scoring twice to make it 3-2 before Shahrul Amni scored the equaliser before the break to make it 3-3. It was game on since then but captain of ITB "A" Naasiruddeen scored the goal of the match with a long effort to make it 4-3 before the half-time whistle. Amazing first half!!
Julazni scored his hat-trick and he deserved man of the match for his effort in the 76th minute and they were still trailing 5-4 then. UNISSA's Muhd Hibatul Haqqi scored a late equaliser to share the spoils between the two and the final scored ended in a 5-5 thriller. Both sides didn't deserve to lose and it was an awesome opener indeed.
The BIBD At-Tamwil Berhad University Cup, the first inter-university football tournament to be held in Brunei, kicked off last night during an opening ceremony at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium. The Uni Cup, organised jointly by BIBD At-Tamwil Berhad and Institut Teknologi Brunei (ITB), will feature a total of five universities, with each institution fielding two teams which will be split into Group A and Group B.
The five participating education institutions are ITB, Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA), Kolej Universiti Perguruan Ugama Seri Begawan (KUPUSB) and Politeknik Brunei. For more updates of the University Cup tournament, you can follow them on Facebook.
Present to officiate the opening ceremony was the guest-of-honour, Dato Seri Setia Haji Awang Yussoff bin Haji Awang Ismail, the Deputy Minister of Education.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is beginning to lose his footing near the top of the pound-for-pound rankings.
The consensus No. 2 fighter for so long has dropped to No. 3 in both the Yahoo! Sports poll and ESPN.com pound-for-pound rankings, behind No. 1 Manny Pacquiao and new No. 2 Sergio Martinez. The reason? Presumably his inactivity: He hasn't fought since he outpointed Juan Manuel Marquez on May 1 of last year.
And unless he schedules a fight by this May 1, he'll probably be dropped by most major outlets. That includes THE RING, which requires fighters to be active within the past year or at least have a fight scheduled to be ranked.
In the Yahoo! poll, in which I and RingTV.com Co-Editor Doug Fischer vote, two voters left Mayweather off the list entirely. Of the 29 who listed him, a surprising 16 had him No. 3.
I suspect his inactivity played a role in that shift, although some might actually believe that Martinez is better or has accomplished more than Mayweather at this point.
Martinez is coming off his third sensational victory in a row, an eighth-round knockout of then-unbeaten Sergei Dzinziruk last Saturday.
Fischer and I still have Pacquiao and Mayweather at Nos. 1 and 2. Pacquiao is the unquestioned king of the sport and Mayweather probably remains the most-gifted boxer.
We're with the rest of the world on Mayweather's inactivity, though: If he doesn't have a fight scheduled by May, he's out.
Here's a question: Where should Mayweather be ranked if he returns to the ring later in the year?
Fischer and I agree that that would depend on who he faces in his comeback and how he performs.
"If he chose to fight Cory Spinks and looked sloppy in outpointing him, I'd probably rank Mayweather outside of the top 5. If he chose Paul Williams and scored a late stoppage I might put him back at No. 2," Fischer said.
Here are our Top 10 lists:
1. Manny Pacquiao
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
3. Sergio Martinez
4. Nonito Donaire
5. Andre Ward
6. Juan Manuel Marquez
7. Timothy Bradley
8. Juan Manuel Lopez

Lucy Cheung (Class of 2008)
My interest in the study of law can be traced back to the immigration of my family to the United States from Hong Kong when I was 13. Even at a young age, I had a vague sense that a better understanding of the law and the opportunities it provides would have been beneficial to my family as we began our new life in this country. Because of my personal experience, I wanted to go to a law school that would provide me with the tools to contribute to indigenous and minority representation. Through the public interest courses, clinics and student groups at New England School of Law, I have accomplished my goal and more.
During my first year, I joined several student groups in search of an opportunity to volunteer. The one group that stood out for me was the National Lawyers Guild. I felt welcomed at the group's general meetings and was attracted to the Street Law Clinics that they coordinated. The Street Law Clinics are community projects initiated by the Boston National Lawyers Guild chapter in which student lawyers lead trainings at shelters and community centers in teaching indigenous and underrepresented people about their civil rights under the law in Massachusetts. I was impressed by the progressiveness of the group. And as a first-year law student, this was the only place where I could begin seeing the impact of public interest law on real-life people. Additionally, the executive board welcomed my help in bringing a successful panel to the law school about prostitution and its influence on civil rights and criminal issues. Through the National Lawyers Guild, I honed my skill in networking and experienced how law effects the low-income population first hand. In addition to participation in student groups, I also volunteered in the Big Sister, Little Sister program. I visited my little sister every week and facilitated conversations as to her life goals and her progress in school.
The summer after my first year, I worked as an intern at the Suffolk Probate and Family Court. I provided assistance to many people who have limited understanding of the legal field and are trying to resolve their problems by representing themselves in litigation. My interaction with those people gave me an insight into what they need to better help themselves and what the government could do to make that legal process easier.
One of the main reasons I chose to come to New England School of Law was the variety of clinical course offered. When the chance to take a clinical course opened, I registered for the Public Interest Law Seminar and Clinic course right away. I learned invaluable experience in legal representation and legal writing and research by working with one of the in-house clinical supervisors. Working in the capacity of a student attorney under SJC Rule 3:03 provided me with opportunities to represent actual clients in front of a Social Security Administration Judge and Judges of the Family and Probate Court. I learned to work diligently with various kinds of clients, court officers, attorneys and fellow students while fulfilling my responsibilities as a student attorney.
Taking the skills I have learned from the New England School of Law in-house clinic and as one of the recipients for the Public Interest Law Association Grant offered by NESL, I applied for an internship position at the Asian Outreach Unit of Greater Boston Legal Services (GBLS) for my second summer, and was accepted. The knowledge I acquired from the New England School of Law in-house clinic gave me the tools to handle the high volume of clients GBLS encounters. I provided in-depth and quick-answer research for staff attorneys, in addition to conducting community outreach and intakes at community centers.
In order to take advantage of the variety of clinical experiences New England School of Law have to offer, I took the Land Use Clinic in the fall semester of my third year and the Lawyering Process Clinic in the spring semester. In the Land Use Clinic, I gained practical knowledge in land use and property law by accompanying my supervisor to court and real estate closings. I returned to Greater Boston Legal Services for my Lawyering Process placement during my last semester. I continued to polish my lawyering and inter-personal skills as a future lawyer through these clinics.
My experiences from clinical courses, student groups and summer internships have given me the tools to become an effective and competent lawyer who can take on future challenges for her public interest clients. I would highly recommend New England School of Law to those who are interested in a career in public interest law because of what it offers.

FBI agent returns to the stand briefly Wednesday morning before government rests
UPDATE 5 p.m.: U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn has told the jury that the government will finish redirect questioning of FBI Special Agent Don Sherman in the morning, followed by brief re-cross examination by the defense.
After that, she told the jury, the government will rest its case.
After the jury has left for the day, Lynn asks Busch how much longer he needs on redirect with Sherman. He tells her about 20 minutes.
UPDATE 4:50 p.m.: Prosecutor Marcus Busch has begun his redirect of Agent Sherman.
Regarding Ray Jackson's allegation that Hill, the "kingpin," only received an old car for his alleged role over the scheme, Busch asked:
Busch: Doesn't this show how little it takes to bribe a broke politican?
Over a flurry of objections from the defense, Sherman was finally allowed to answer.
Sherman: Our investigation showed in the extortion count, that he cooperated with Mr. Reagan to postpone Mr. Fisher's project and that he was paid from the proceeds extorted from Mr. Fisher, $10,000 on Feb. 22, 2005.
Sherman also added: Our investigation showed that Hill was without a car, and he as getting rides from Ms. Farrington and others. That $15,000 car was what they shared with him from these proceeds.
Busch then addressed defense assertions that the $10,000 cash that Darren Reagan gave Hill behind Friendship Baptist Church on Feb. 22, 2005 were politican contributions and were spent on legit political activities.
Busch: Does it make a difference what someone does with extorted money that's placed in their hands?
No, Sherman replied.
UPDATE 4 p.m.: Former Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill's attorney, Ray Jackson, is now cross examining Agent Don Sherman.
Jackson and Sherman are arguing about whether developer Bill Fisher's affordable housing project had community opposition. Sherman said that there was a representative from a homeowner's group who was opposed. Jackson is using this to illustrate that his client, Hill, had good reason not to support Fisher's projects and delay them for so long that had nothing to do with demands for extortion money.
Jackson then revisits Hill's finances, or apparent lack therof. "The kingpin is making all this happen," Jackson says, looking at one of the government's charts outlining the conspiracy and financial transactions, with Hill's name on top. "If I'm right, he got a seven-year-old BMW with 100,000 miles on it?"
Sherman: That's part of what he got.
Sherman and Jackson also talk about the $10,000 that Darren Reagan gave Hill at Friendship West Baptist Church in February 2005. Jackson reiterated that it was a campaign contribution. Sherman disagreed.
Sherman then mentions something I hadn't quite heard before. He and Jackson begin talking about a wiretap between Hill and Farrington recorded days before the FBI served their warrants on June 20, 2005. The wiretap transcript is heavily redacted, but what is there shows that Hill and Farrington talk about money, and how they still have "Brian's deal" working for them, an apparent reference to the $14,000 per month that Farrington was getting on a consulting contract.
Sherman testified that they were also talking about "stashing money awat for their future life together." He said Farrington emptied her business bank account after the FBI served their warrants and used some on her legal fees.
Jackson: If Don wants to stash money for their future, that's OK, right?
Sherman: Except for when it's illegal like this.
Jackson: That's your opinion.
UPDATE 3:30 p.m.: At the afternoon break, defendant Darren Reagan addressed U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn. His attorney, Ted Steinke, had cross examined Sherman right before Darlene Deckard, and Reagan thought that Steinke didn't get enough time. The judge has given the defense a block of time for each witness, and they're in charge if dividing it up amongst themselves. Reagan told the judge that he has been helping prepare the cross examination of Agent Don Sherman, and that Steinke only made it through a portion of the presentation. Reagan said he didn't know the other defendants felt, but he thought his lawyer deserved more time with FBI agent.
Best I can tell (I'm in the overflow courtroom and all this happened off camera and barely in front of the microphones), after Reagan's plea to the judge, Steinke didn't add anything. Also, I don't believe I saw Steinke being forced from the podium when he finished his cross examination. His presentation was a little short, I thought.
For her part, Lynn thanked Reagan after his address, then she retired to her chambers for the rest of the break.
Douglas Greene, D'Angelo Lee's lawyer, is now cross examining Agent Sherman.
Here's some highlights from Steinke's cross:
Steinke: When you were assessing the credibility of Bill Fisher, did you expect him to tell the truth?
Sherman: Yes.
Steinke: You've said that the FBI told Fisher to let folks walk away if they didn't agree to participate in criminal activity?
Sherman: Yes.
Steinke: Isn't what Reagan did in spring 2005, when he told people that he didn't want to deal with Fisher anymore?
Sherman: Fisher is the one who walked away and refused to sign any more amended contracts asking for more money.
Steinke: Is there any doubt that Reagan was interested in south Dallas and getting jobs for minority contractors?
Sherman: He was interested in himself.
Steinke also asks Sherman about what Reagan meant when he said on wiretaps that contractors he was recommending to Fisher had to contribute to the "kitty."
Sherman said, basically, Reagan was referring to kickbacks in exchange for recommending them.
Steinke: Could that phrase have a different interpretation?
Sherman: I suppose so.
Steinke: Could it mean for them to give to the scholarship fund? [He is referring to Reagan's group, the Black State Employees Association of Texas, which gave out some scholarships. Evidence and testimony has shown, however, that the group had withered into a shakedown outfit in recent years and no long represented any employees. Also, some people who were promised scholarships in the past at the group's awards dinners didn't get them, testimony has shown.]
Sherman: The totality of the other conversations with Mr. Reagan talking about kicking back to the kitty, he meant kickbacks from contractors, so I don't think so.
UPDATE 2:50 p.m.: Darlene Clayton-Deckard, attorney for Rickey Robertson, is cross examining Agent Don Sherman now.
Robertson is accused of starting a sham construction firm and hitting developer Bill Fisher up for work, and insinuating that hiring his firm would result in Lee and Hill supporting Fisher's pending zoning change. Fisher refused to hire Robertson's firm because neither Robertson nor his business partners could prove they were qualified. Deckard has argued that Robertson was a legitimate small businessman who was seeking a shot at a larger construction contract and committed no crimes.
Deckard riffs on this premise with Sherman:
Deckard: You were an executive officer in a company?
Sherman: In a food company. My father mortgaged the family farm to borrow $22,000 so that I could start that business.
Deckard: You got a helping hand from your father?
Sherman: I did.
Deckard: Before you were in that position, what was your first job?
Sherman: I was driving tractors on the family farm at seven years old, and continued that work until I was 16.
Deckard: What was your first job that wasn't nepotism?
Sherman: Washing dishes at a seafood restaurant. I was paid $1.60 an hour.
Deckard: They gave you a chance, didn't they? You didn't have any credentials, except for driving a tractor?
Sherman: That's right.
Deckard: What was your first professional job?
Sherman: Probably an internship during college, working with GTE in their tax accounting department.
Deckard: You didn't have experience?
Sherman: I was an accounting honors student at the University of North Carolina.
Deckard: Someone gave you a hand?
Sherman: I got that job on my own standing.
Deckard: You don't believe the young men in RA-MILL deserved a chance?
Sherman: I don't believe it was a question of 'deserve.' I think it was a question of qualifications for the very specific job they were seeking.
UPDATE 11:45 a.m.: Victor Vital, attorney for Sheila Farrington Hill, questioned Agent Don Sherman on the FBI's use of developer Bill Fisher as an informant. Vital pointed out that some people didn't trust Fisher, including the city's housing director and one of his former business partners, and accused the FBI of turning Fisher "loose" on the defendants.
Here's a sampling of the Q&A:
Vital: Didn't you arm him with a recorder and tape and send him forth?
Sherman: Armed him?
Vital: There were times when this Bill Fisher had the tape recorder and the FBI wasn't present?
Sherman: That's correct.
Vital: How many exculpatory phone calls or messages did he not record?
Sherman: I don't believe there were any, sir.
Vital: Do you know that for a fact?
Sherman: I can't prove a negative.
Vital: You formed some quick judgments in this case, regarding these defendants, and what you set out to do was look for supporting evidence.
Sherman: This process has been anything but quick. I am charged with getting evidence and providing evidence to the U.S. Attorney's office and providing the same evidence to you.
Vital: Isn't it true that Sheila is a casualty in your quest for convictions in the biggest corruption case in city history?
Sherman: No sir.
Vital: You told Fishy Fisher to lie?
Sherman: In can't answer that with a yes or no.
Vital: Did you tell Fisher to bear false witness to these defendants?
Sherman: As to the question of whether he was taping them, you bet.
UPDATE 9:45 a.m.: Victor Vital accused Sherman of being selective in the evidence he analyzed to make the case. "You're trying to put people in jail."
"No sir," Sherman replied. "I'm trying to get at the truth."
Vital also makes a passing reference to Sherman telling Hill back in 2005 that his political career was over. "Did you tell Brian Potashnik that is business career was over?" Vital asked, referring to the developer who pleaded guilty to bribing Hill and D'Angelo Lee.
"We told him he was involved in bribery and that's why he called his attoney," Sherman replied.
Vital then points out that the FBI has no emails or wiretaps in which Potashnik claims he was pressured by Hill, as was his testimony earlier in the trial.
"I don't believe he uses those words," Sherman said.
ORIGINAL POST: FBI Special Agent Don Sherman is now under cross examination by the defense in the Dallas City Hall public corruption trial.
The first attorney up is Victor Vital, attorney for Sheila Farrington Hill. Vital is pointing out that the FBI has no wiretaps of Farrington talking to many of the principal players in the case.
Prosecutors have said she helped funnel hundreds of thousands in bribe and extortion money to Hill through her consulting business bank account.
On Friday and Monday, Sherman and prosecutor Marcus Busch walked jurors through an overview of the government's case, seeking to provide context to their contention that former Mayor Pro Tem Don Hill, his wife and associates shook down developers seeking to build affordable housing in southern Dallas.
Sherman testified that he told Hill that his political career was over when FBI agents served search warrants in the case in 2005 to try to jar him into cooperating. The defense has said that Sherman's words were proof that the government's case against Hill was a political and racial vendetta, which the government has strongly denied.

Jr. Super sportsman pipe
by John Towne » Tue Feb 18, 2014 8:00 pm
Is there a minimum"flex" pipe length between the header and the RLV2 spec pipe on a KT 100 engine? New to karting so forgive the rookie question.

Re: Jr. Super sportsman pipe
by John Ray » Tue Feb 18, 2014 10:22 pm
the length of the flex pipe is measured from the face of the piston (on the exhaust side) to the end of the flex pipe, the dimension is a minimum of 9 3/8" to a maximum of 9 7/8". The flex pipe is actually referred to as the connector pipe. Usually a ruler made of steel with a notch cut in the end about 1" long and 3/16" wide proves to be a handy tool in your tool box as the connector pipe can get beat down a little with engine vibrations and could possibly render you illegal if in a tech situation and it was measured short. Shorter is higher revs and longer is more torque, you are only dealing with 1/2", so in the middle is safe and you wont notice any performance difference. Hope this helps.

Facebook Shares Top $50 for First Time
Facebook shares crossed the $50 threshold for the first time Thursday as the stock continues its sharp rise and investors cheer the social-media company's mobile growth.
Shares opened at $50.01 before quickly retreating and recently traded at $49.70, up 24 cents. The stock has nearly doubled since late July when Facebook reported strong second-quarter results.
Last month shares zoomed past their initial public offering price of $38. Facebook last year launched one of the most-anticipated initial public offerings in recent memory, but shares quickly took a tumble due to glitches during the launch and investor concerns about Facebook's growth prospects, especially in mobile.
On its first day of trading in May 2012, Facebook quickly rose 18% to a high of $45, but those gains proved fleeting and the stock finished that day up only a few cents. It fell below its $38 IPO price the next trading day.
Following July's surprisingly upbeat results, many analysts have rethought their financial models on the company and have upgraded the stock in recent months, including Citigroup this week, which upgraded the social-networking site to buy from neutral and lifted its price target to $55 from $32.
The worries about mobile also appeared to have fallen away as mobile advertising in the second quarter made up 41% of core advertising revenue, up from 30% in the first quarter.

Judges explain role at rodeo
SIKESTON -- Spectators at this year's Sikeston Jaycee Bootheel Rodeo may be entertained by the competitor-and-animal performances, but it doesn't mean they'll always receive high marks from the judges.
Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association judge Dewitt Forrest said there are many things to look for when scoring events as both the contestants and animals are judged.

The Plague
by Albert Camus
The Plague Theme of Criminality
One character in The Plague, Jean Tarrou, has strong opinions on the death penalty, calling it murder and is so troubled by the concept that he actively rallies against it. He considers lawyers to be inhuman and judges straight-up "enemies." This may be a reflection of Camus's humanist beliefs. If man is more good than evil, and if it is our job, as The Plague argues it is, to take up arms on behalf of man against pestilence, suffering, and death, what is the death penalty but a very act of treason against our own kind?
Questions About Criminality
- How can Tarrou identify more with a condemned murderer than his own father? Does he even recognize criminality?
- Why does Cottard try to commit suicide?
- Is Cottard morally reprehensible for his actions during the plague? In Tarrou's vision of the world as plagues vs. man, where does Cottard fall?
- Just what is it about the death penalty that bothers Tarrou so much?
Chew on This
Criminality in The Plague is a case of societal roles; those labeled as criminals rise to the occasion and fulfill the expectations projected upon them.
Tarrou's claim that we are all murderers, and that we must try to be "innocent murderers," is the perspective of a moral absolutist. He stands alone against the moral relativist world of The Plague.

Thursday, Sept. 20, 2012
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The Commerce Department says South Carolina taxpayers spent about $54,000 on an international trade meeting in Japan.
The department said Thursday that's the initial estimate of tax dollars spent on the five-day economic development trip to Tokyo. Most of that went toward travel, hotel rooms and fees for the 35th annual conference of the Japan-U.S. Southeast Association.
Commerce Secretary Bobby Hitt says the trip was vital to building the relationships needed to bring jobs to South Carolina. He says state officials participated in 23 meetings. He declined to name specific companies.
About 40 people made the trip from South Carolina, including Gov. Nikki Haley, her husband, an aide and her security. Four Commerce employees flew over, joining three part-time consultants there.
Haley was among five Southeastern governors at the conference.

This colorful and satisfying open-faced omelet makes a delicious easy meal. If you dont own an ovenproof nonstick skillet, use a regular nonstick skillet and wrap the handle in foil. Meal Plan: First, make a fresh spinach salad. Remove and discard stems from 10 oz. fresh spinach, then wash and thoroughly dry leaves. In large bowl, toss spinach with slivered Greek olives, some chopped jarred roasted red peppers (packed in water) and a low-fat balsamic dressing. Chill until ready to serve. While frittata is cooking on the stovetop, warm a loaf of purchased focaccia in a 350F oven.

Fried chicken with what ever tonight here at the old homestead. I do know what dessert will be. Friend has 'bargained' with me for a Pecan Pie so I'll make 2, one for her and one for us. That'll work!
Y'all have a great day. Check out the SR for an update on wehoney. Bri dashed through and shared some news from yesterday with us.
