DOHA: A proposed amendment in the country's anti-tobacco law banning smoking inside cars has triggered angry reaction from citizens, with many describing it as an infringement of personal freedoms.
Qatari social networking sites have been abuzz with comments on the issue, following newspaper reports on Monday that the amended anti-tobacco law includes a provision banning smoking inside cars. The reports were based on remarks made by an Supreme Council of Health official at a recent workshop in Doha.
Several members of the Central Municipal Council (CMC) have also joined the debate, calling for a review of the proposal.
"Smoking in car is like smoking in the house. They have no right to interfere in the private life of people. If they want to stop smoking they should ban import of cigarettes," read a posting on a popular Qatari social website. "It is better to increase prices of cigarettes to QR100 per packet than banning smoking in cars," wrote another.
"First they should increase the prices of cigarettes, remove Sheesha from all places and stop creating special areas for smoking at the ministries and other government departments," was another comment. "My car is my private property and I have full right to smoke inside my car. The UK has implemented a similar law but only when children are aboard. A motorist can smoke if he/she is alone in the car," said another.
There were also comments in favour of the proposal, but mostly based on safety grounds, rather than the health risks associated with smoking. "The law is good because many motorists throw cigarette butts from the window of their cars without thinking that they might go to other cars on the road. If a burning cigarette falls on the carpet, it can cause a fire," read a posting. "Good news but I wish it would be implemented properly," said another.
A local Arabic daily yesterday quoted several CMC members arguing against the proposal. According to Mohammed Al Khayarin, this amendment is an encroachment on personal freedoms. "How are they going to implement this law. Will they use CCTV cameras to spy on motorists or deploy traffic police or inspectors to detect the violations or leave this job to some volunteers? All these options are not practical," he said.
Another CMC member Ahmed Al Sheeb also felt that the proposal is not logical. "It will create more problems instead of solving the problems. I agree banning smoking in public places and near schools. Banning smoking inside cars is not logical," he said.
According to Mohammed Shaheen Al Dosari, another CMC member, " no law in the world has prevented people from smoking in their cars". "I will support this only in one case, if someone smokes in the presence of children and women in the car," he added.
Another member Mubarak Fresh felt that there is no use of drafting a new law, when the existing law is not properly implemented. The Peninsula
Dr Tahir Shaltout, a psychiatrist at the Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) said that the proposal has a positive impact, by preventing people from smoking in some areas and widening the time gap between each cigarette.
"The negative side is that those in charge of implementing the ban would find themselves interfering in a very personal issue and in the privacy of the people. This contradicts with the purpose of the law," Shaltout told this daily yesterday.
"Heavy smokers will find it difficult to comply with the law, while it is helpful for those who smoke less," he added.

1.) you posted something which was INCORRECT. if you need proof that muscle soreness is not an indication of an effective workout...please go find the medical articles yourself. there are many that exist. of if you want to find the easy way: go read the stickies.
2.) this site is a good site with ton's of knowledgeable people. it is when guys like you walk into a thread and dont bother to read what everyone else has written and put your own solution forward that unpleasantness occurs. if you really do like this site as much as you claim to, atleast respect everyone else by reading the whole thread before putting in your 2c.
3.) there is nothing to "teach" here. you said that muscle soreness is an indicator of a good workout. it isnt. its that simple.
4.) most bodybuilders have insanely good genetics and the dedication that is inspiring. most of us commmon folk don't have such attributes regarding this sport therefore we have to work around these issues. this is ofcourse assuming that the bb'er you know are good because of their knowledge rather than inspite of their lack of knowledge.
have a good day

I'm not sure what was being said about soreness. Whether John meant that frequent soreness was a sign of overtraining or that it was an indicator of a good workout. I took it as the former.
In terms of training soreness is more an indicator of novelity than a good workout. It goes away as you go along unless you introduce something new whether a new exercise variation or a significantly increased training stimulus. If the latter is true than you are looking at a person who is not using a planned attack and progressive overload and thus a person who is not going to have a consistent stimulus due to lack of training effect or lack of recovery, consistent frequency...the list goes on an on.
I just learned the phrase "locus of control". It occurs to me that this is completely apt to the question of soreness. If you are focused on external control then soreness is an "external" manifestation of what is right or wrong. If you are internal focused then you are in control of your choices. While you never want to completely discount either way....with training you have to be mostly internal, imo, with just a smattering of external influence for guidance.
Since soreness indicates the novelity of a stimulus than obvioulsy it can be an indicator of a positive change. Of course it could also be a negative change. You need more than soreness to know...you need knowledge of programming and effective, healthy, balanced exercise choice. If I change my ROM on, say, bulgarian squats...maybe increase my stride....I can get sore compared to last time. But that does not indicate whether I have increased my ROM in a 'good' way or whether I have worked into a vulnerable and unhealthy range in terms of strength/flexibility. Soreness in itself certainly cannot tell me this. I have to know what I'm doing.
But if you are sore all the time no matter what that is ONE possible symptom of overtraining or at least over-reaching....among a host of other symptoms.

Probably could've used some tact in the response. Quoting someone's response saying it's rubbish will only lead us down one path. I'm sure John must've felt validated in his post seeing as so many people have told him that. And to be honest, I thought he was talking about overtraining, not an effective workout indicator. Now, if you took all that time from asking him to come up with finding medical articles himself to briefly explaining why he's wrong, then I'm sure he'd learn something out of this forum other than to keep his advice to himself.

True, Eric and DH got it. I have read quite a bit, on BB.net, and a ton of fitness magazines, books, medical journals, I've spoken to sports-med. practitioners. I'm not saying that I'm some hotshot know-everything. I don't doubt the knowledge of the other members here, either. However, I do appreciate your adult response. I never mentioned anything about a 'good workout' in my posts to this thread, but I did mention overdoing it. The OP stated how do I know if I am overtraining. I stated "...is a good indication" in response. It is good to see that things are being resolved in a mature manner.

BTW, on lower one I'd recommend a single leg movement in place of the squats. Static split squats, static split squats with either leg elevated, reverse lunges, reverses lunges with either leg elevated, dynamic lunges, walking lunges, bulgarian squats (back leg elevated), step ups....
I think I understand where you think the conflict arises. And I'm sure you've read a lot of stuff, besides the stickies, that represent extreme camps. What has happened is you've taken it to an extreme yourself.
You've taken the "enough rest" and made it "work a muscle once a week". You've taken "stimulate not annihilate" and made it "keep the volume very low". This is actually why I wish people wouldn't point every beginner to the stickies because beginners are not the intended audience sometimes. Instead of educating you they've made you paranoid!
The audience that the 'why aren't you growing' sticky is speaking to is doing nothing like what you've been doing. It is meant for people who already have been doing the wrong thing for a while. Since you haven't had that experience you have simply based it on the wrong parameters. You misunderstood the advice in it therefore.
Prob in this case it would be best to "forget" about all that and just take some of the advice that's been given and work at it for a while.

Wolf, I just read your last response (#24). If I'd of read it earlier, I'd of responded sooner. You weren't an a**hole, or anything like that. Trust me, I've been told a lot worse in different forums for much simpler things. I appreciate your apology. For the record, there are no hard feelings, bud.

Wolf made some good suggestions as far as a routine goes. You could argue that some things could be switched around to other days, but I'd say it is a very good transition compared to your initial routine. No routine is set in stone and a good routine will evolve and change as you do, so as you move along you may find that you need to do something else or switch something etc.
I agree with Eric's advice, Hip dominant movements (like the one's he suggested) are very good after deadlifts.

Thanks, you guys are awesome!
I started adding the new movements into my current routine and I'll see how it goes. I tried the incline dumbell bench presses and boy what a difference. I can really feel how differently they work the muscles. I feel it more in the triceps and the shoulders.
I don't have a machine for doing the face pulls. Would a lat bar pulldown machine work if I leaned back and pulled the bar towards my face instead of my chest/shoulders?

New cine lenses coming in 2012
There will be a new light weight zoom lens (in picture), and more CP.2.
The new arena that will be opened in 2012 is a series of anamorphic lenses.
What is it you ask? Rather than projecting the image as it is on a sensor/film (i.e., a circle appears as a circle on the sensor), an anamorphic lens will squeeze the horizontal dimension, so a circle will appear as an ellipse like a standing american football. The reason of doing that is that one can project a wide screen format like 2.39:1 onto a 4:3 sensor like the one in a m43 camera (Panasonic/Olympus).
For more info. on the new cine lenses can be found on page 16-18 in this PDF.

What's interesting for still photog' is that the CP2 line is derived from the Z line. So that confirms we will have a 16mm and another prime in ZE and ZF2. The question is, will the future 70-200mm be a ZE, ZF lens as well?ReplyDelete

I hope they make a cheaper ZE/ZF line anamorphic and not just PL mount versions. A lot of 5D mkII shooters out there would want one.ReplyDelete

Liverpool Message Board
and you wonder why ?
Yet another incident involving Liverpool fans a flare let off.2 major incidents one common denominator know wonder fans of other clubs don't believe Liverpool fansSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
In addition to your comment, in which the grammar and spelling represents that of 5 year old, do you have any comment in regards to the fan(s) that threw, and hit Luis Suarez with a coin which he picked up, tried showing to any official that would look, then finally tucked into his sock as evidence?
Perhaps you weren't aware of that, OR, you don't care and condone it because it's Liverpool and Suarez..
It was made abundantly clear by the commentators on ESPN, (as it should) Ian Darke and Steve McManaman, that behavior like that from fans is terrible, and completely intolerable..
Funny though, this seems to be the first mention of it anywhere.. God forbid it had been Trashbag #10, Fergie would have berated those fans, the match official, and the FA ...
By the way, just so you're clear and we understand, what is that "one common denominator"? Just really want you to say it..
Torres tripped, booked and sent off for diving.
Pea scores "winner" from offside position - even his own manager admits.
Yes, we are all left wondering - Why?

Chris Arridge - Exploring Saturn's Unique Magnetosphere with the Cassini Spacecraft
Magnetic fields generated deep within the magnetised planets of the solar system carve cavities called magnetospheres out of the solar wind. These magnetospheres can be enormous and Jupiter's magnetosphere is the largest structure in the solar system with a magnetic tail extending over 5AU from Jupiter out to Saturn's orbit. The magnetospheres of Jupiter and Earth are very different; the terrestrial magnetosphere is driven by interactions with the solar wind, and the jovian magnetosphere essentially by the rapid rotation of Jupiter. The Pioneer 11 and Voyager 1/2 encounters with Saturn taught us that Saturn's magnetosphere appeared very Earth-like in terms of this driving and its general configuration. The Cassini spacecraft has been orbiting Saturn since July 2004 and observations from this unique spacecraft have forced us to re-evaluate this Earth-like picture. In this talk we introduce Cassini and its mission, and describe some of the UK-led science which is changing our understanding of Saturn as a unique solar-system object.
Heather Couper & Nigel Henbest - MARS - THE INSIDE STORY OF THE RED PLANET
Yes, there is life on Mars . and it was discovered 30 years ago. That.s just one of the highlights of this behind-the-scenes investigation of the Red Planet. Based on the acclaimed book of the same name, our talk reveals the untold truth behind many of the failed missions to Mars, a new slant on the .bugs. in the Martian meteorite ALH 84001 and the presence of recently-flowing water on the surface. In particular, we take a fresh look at the Viking experiments of 1976. We reveal flaws in the Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer, which apparently ruled out life on Mars, and re-analyse the Labelled Release experiment which gave a positive result. Based on new discoveries about extremophiles on Earth, we can even begin to predict the biochemistry of bacteria living on Mars today

Peter Bond - EXPLORING DISTANT WORLDS
Everyone who is aged 49 or younger is a child of the Space Age. During the
last half century, humans have ventured beyond their birthplace - the
Earth - and made their first, faltering steps into the Solar System.
To date, only a dozen people have set foot on another world, the Moon, but humanity's technological innovatinos have made it possible to extend our never-ending search for knowledge to all corners of the Solar System. Over the past 5 decades, robotic ambassadors from Earth have visited all of the traditional planets, and missions are already planned or under way to explore the largest asteroids, Pluto and the ice worlds of the Kuiper Belt.
During my talk, I shall touch upon the remarkably successful missions (and technologies) that have opened our eyes to the wonders of our planetary neighbours, and highlight some of the exciting possibilities that we may look forward to in future years.
Jodrell Bank - Past and Present.
Jodrell Bank. Past and Present. The session organised by Manchester University will feature a presentation by Alistair Gunn on Space Tracking and will include some historic black and white newsreel footage. Tim O.Brien will bring us right up to date talking about - Pulsars, Quasars gravity lenses and e-Merlin.
Human Space Flight
The recent announcement that the new Minister regards Human Spaceflight as a 'Great Adventure' has led us to include a session on Human Spaceflight. Contributors to this part of the conference will include Dr. Ian Crawford (Lunar and Planetary Exploration), Mark Hempsell (Manned Space Infrastructure), Nick Spall (UK manned spaceflight potential), Dr. Alyson Calder (UK space biomedicine experiments) ,George Abbey and Reg Turnill.
BROHP Publications. Prospero 4 will be on sale at the conference plus the new Black Knight booklet by Nick Hill available for the first time at the conference.

January 06, 2012
The National Institute of Nutrition, a part of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), is now recommending the bakery sector to focus on technological innovations and better ingredients like zero trans fat, high fibre besides micro nutrient fortification to replace calorie-dense, high glycemic and relatively low nutrient value products. These baked foods are led by bread and biscuits and followed by cake, muffins, bun, pav and pizza.
"Bakery products are increasingly becoming popular in our country. The range and variety which exists these days make them an attractive food option. Apprehension however exists in the wake of the decreased activity and modern lifestyles that these products tend to be calorie-dense. There is need for research and development for novel and healthier bakery products relevant to the diverse needs of the country," stated Dr B Sesikeran, director, National Institute of Nutrition, Hyderabad.
Consumers are increasingly becoming concerned about their health and are well aware of the relationship between nutritious food and optimal health. Various concerns have caused consumers to demand for healthier bakery products, according to Sesikeran.
Some popular trends in the market are light functional, natural organic products. In addition to the healthier products consumers are also purchasing products that satisfy their taste buds. Keeping this in perspective, future area of research at the NIN includes an in-depth study in the role of different macro and micronutrients. There is need to develop low-cost but healthy bakery products using locally available nutritious ingredients such as millets, full bran wheat, honey and greens. Once such products are standardised then the technology can be traversed to small bakery entrepreneurs in the rural and urban areas.
To ensure that the consumers get the best of the nutrients, NIN has generated database on nutritive values of over 650 Indian foods, which is used by various national organisations, planners and academic research institutions. It has also formulated Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for Indians. Further, it has developed food- based dietary guidelines. As part of the food-based approach to combat micronutrient deficiencies, the NIN has also gone ahead to develop fortification methods with iron and iodine for prevention of related deficiency diseases. It has also demonstrated its beneficial effects in preventing the reduction in haemoglobin levels and devised simple kits to check the content of iron and iodine in fortified salt. The Indian bakery industry now needs to ensure developing bakery products comprising vitamins, whole grains and fibres, according to NIN.

Flickr Find: Handmade Play Tent
Materials used: An old bathroom cabinet for storing little books and treasures, a reclaimed tablecloth, various pillows and sheets, and leftover yardage from a previous project.
Says Kim:
If you have 20 dollars, a little bit of patience and creativity, some old bed linens and a hack saw, I totally suggest making a homemade fort for your prince or princess! If you can't sew curtains or don't have a sewing machine available to you, hemming tape will do the trick!
We love this can-do approach to DIY projects. If you have your own project to share with the Ohdeedoh community, just tag your Flickr photos with "Ohdeedoh" and one of our editors will be sure to find it.

Amy, thanks for activating my account, I'm guessing my 2nd email didn't make it to you either, that's why I'm mentioning it now. Must be Prodigy email doesn't mix with whatever is used here.
MY QUESTION: I've heard about slipping the first stitch in every row to make a even border other places, and I see you mentioning it here. The thing that always puzzled me is if the first (and last) stitch of every roll is not worked, they will not grow and remain on the first row height while all the other stitches grow into long rolls. What am I thinking wrong here?

Providence School Superintendent Susan Lusi acknowledged that the New England Common Assessment Program requirement is unfair to a certain number of students (�NECAP as graduation requirement unfair,� news, Feb. 28).
She is the first school chief to voice dissent from the state education leaders.�Ms. Lusi probably speaks from frustration in a lack of significant progress in test scores.
Board of Education Chair Eva Mancuso described Ms. Lusi�s statement as politically motivated. Ms. Mancuso suggested that Ms. Lusi was trying to ally herself with gubernatorial candidate Angel Tavares, another detractor of the NECAP.
Perhaps Ms. Mancuso should worry less about her future with a new governor and worry more about fixing an obvious problem with student achievement. Massachusetts showed dramatic improvement in scores after committing necessary funds to improve performance.
Commissioner Deborah Gist won a $75 million grant from the federal government to improve education in Rhode Island. How was that money spent? It�s a question many in the education field are wondering.
Perhaps more superintendents will start asking, publicly, how that money could have been spent in a more proactive way. We all want better results, but simply saying, �make it so� won�t do the trick.

Coronary artery disease happens when fatty deposits called plaque (say "plak") build up inside your coronary arteries. This process of plaque buildup is called atherosclerosis.
Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to your heart. Plaque buildup may reduce the amount of blood that gets to your heart. Coronary artery disease can cause angina symptoms, such as chest pain or pressure. It can lead to a heart attack.

New York Life to Sell Surety Bond Operation in Mexico to Global Insurer Ace Group
America's Largest Mutual Life Insurer to Concentrate on Leading U.S. and Mexican Life Insurance Businesses
Seguros Monterrey New York Life is Mexico's Second Largest Life Insurer and a Key Part of New York Life's Strategic Direction Going Forward
NEW YORK, N.Y., September 12, 2012 – New York Life Insurance Company announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement with ACE Group (NYSE: ACE) to sell its wholly-owned surety bond business in Mexico, Fianzas Monterrey, for $285 million in cash. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval, and is expected to close by early next year.
Ted Mathas, chairman and CEO, said, "While Fianzas Monterrey is an extremely well run and profitable business it is non-core for New York Life and outside of our primary focus on the life insurance and investments businesses. In terms of life insurance, our focus is now exclusively on the United States where we have the leading market share, and on Seguros Monterrey New York Life, our wholly-owned Mexican subsidiary and the second-largest life insurer in Mexico*. Additionally, ACE is a well established global insurer."
New York Life acquired Fianzas Monterrey in 2000 when it purchased Seguros Monterrey from Aetna Inc. and Grupo Financiero Bancomer S.A.

Skill Level Beginner
Now I would like to show you how to create collage effects by combining two image layers non-destructively using layer masks and gradients. I'm currently in the Adobe Bridge application and I'm viewing the exercise files folder. I'm going to go ahead and scroll down here in the Control panel to the Chapter 12 folder. I'm going to double-click on that and then double-click on the seasonal_change.psd image. That's going to open up this image here in the Elements' Editing workspace.
All right, so here we're in Full Edit mode and you can see down here in the Layers palette that this is a layered file. We actually have the fall image at the top, I'm going to turn off its visibility for a moment, and then the winter image underneath. It was being hidden by the fall image. And then of course a white background, okay, which is acting like a white canvas for us. So I'm going to turn these layers back on. What we would like to do is to be able to create a transition between these two images to create a type of collage effect. Basically what we're doing here is we're creating a type of image that suggests seasonal change. All right, so we're being somewhat artistic here, we're being very creative. This is a bit more of an advanced technique and I would like to share it with you now.
So what we're going to do first is move the fall image using the Move tool over here. I'm going to click and drag that image off to the left. By the way as I'm mentioning this, if you're working with the Move tool, you may want to turn off the Auto Select Layer option and the Show Bounding Box option, because Show Bounding Box can tend to get in your way as you're selecting things on a layer. An Auto Select Layer can sometimes select the wrong layer, the layer that you don't want to work with and we're going to be shifting between different selected layers here a lot in the Layers palette. So I would recommend turning these two options off, because they are usually on by default, okay.
Then I'm going to select the winter layer, I'm going to click and drag that image off to the right. I'm going to go ahead and move the cursor over again, hold down Shift as I'm doing this to constrain my movements so that it doesn't move up or down. Dragging it off to the right until the berry here touches to meet the edge of the document window. All right, so now we have them pretty much in position. I think I might move the fall image over just a little bit more. Again holding down Shift and then clicking and dragging to the left. All right, they are in position now, we can see the hard edge of where the fall image ends and we want to soften that.
Okay, and we can do that using a Layer Mask and the Gradient tool. Now in Elements, you can't apply a Layer Mask directly to an image layer. Unfortunately, you can't do that. So we're going to use a workaround. What I'm going to do is select the winter layer and the reason I'm doing that is because I'm then going to choose an adjustment layer and I want it to appear above the winter layer and below the fall layer. All right. Anytime you choose an adjustment layer, it's going to add it above the selected layer in the Layers palette. So that's why we switched which layer was selected. If I click on the down facing arrow here, we can access the adjustment layer list and we could choose anyone of these three. Levels, Brightness/Contrast or Hue/Saturation. They all come with Layer Masks and if we choose any of these, it's possible for us to create the adjustment layer and not make an adjustment. Okay, and nothing happened to the image.
So lets go ahead and choose Levels. I'm just going to click OK. We didn't make any adjustments at all and that's exactly what we wanted to do because we didn't really want to make levels adjustment, all we wanted was access to this, the Layer Mask, okay. What I'm going to do next now is group the fall image above to the adjustment layer underneath. I can hold down the Option key and hover my cursor between the two layers and then click to create that group. So I now have a clipping mask between these two layers, the adjustment layer and the fall layer apart of the clipping mask. So that means anything that I draw inside of this mask now is going to potentially hide what's above in the fall image.
If I were to fill this with black, it would hide this image entirely. Okay, let's go ahead and do that. I'm going to hold down the Option key and press Delete and you can see I have filled it with black and I'm now hiding that image entirely. Black conceals and white reveals. All right, so if I press Command+Delete to fill with the background color, we're back to seeing our image. All right, background color is white. Black conceals, white reveals. All right, knowing that, this means that should I paint inside here with a brush or apply a gradient, I can hide or show specific areas of the fall image.
Since I want to create this blend between this image and the image underneath, it makes sense to work with the Gradient tool. So let's go ahead and access the Gradient tool, that's over here in the Tools palette. Then we have to refer to our options up to the top. I am going to click on this down facing arrow to access our default gradients. It's defaulting to the foreground to background color, which is currently black to white. But we want foreground color to none or foreground to transparent. That's why we're seeing this transparency grid in here. That's the one we want to choose.
The reason we want to choose that is because this allows us to click and drag in several different directions within the same mask, whereas foreground to background does not allow us to do that. So little bit more freedom here with this particular gradient. All right, now that we have that chosen, I'm going to go ahead and just click and drag in the bottom right corner with the mask selected over here. Click on the bottom right corner where the fall image ends and drag up towards the leaves to about the center of them. When I led up, you can see what it has done, it's created this blend where it's disappearing into the bottom of the photograph. That's exactly what we want.
We can also drag in another direction, since we're using this type of gradient inside of the mask and I'm going to select over here. I'm going to go over here on the edge of the fall image hold down the Shift key, click and drag towards the leaves. Okay, holding down Shift constrains my movements, so I have a perfect horizontal line. When I led up, I have another gradient added inside of the mask. So essentially two gradients blending together in order to create this transition of the fall image into the winter image underneath. All right, now that we have done that, we have made this semitransparent so we can see through to the image underneath and we can see the hard edge of where the winter image ends. So we need to do the same thing for the winter image in order to reveal the white canvas in the background. Let's select the background layer and create another adjustment layer.
Again, it could be Level, Brightness/ Contrast, or Hue/Saturation either one. Let's go ahead and choose Levels as we did it before, click OK, not making an adjustment at all we just want access to this mask. Let's go ahead and create our clipping mask. Hold down the Option key, click between the two layers, there is our group. Now, we can use the Gradient tool in this mask, do the same thing to the winter layer. I'm going to use the exact same gradient. I still have the gradient chosen with the Gradient tool. I'm going to go ahead and click and drag from the bottom corner of this image up towards the berries in the photograph. That's looking pretty good. The next thing I want to do is click right over here, we can still see that hard edge just slightly, I'm going to go ahead and click just passed it on the right, hold down Shift to constrain my proportions and drag in to the right. Okay, constraining my movements.
All right, so now we have this really nice soft blend. Okay, we can see a little bit of the white canvas poking through underneath, but I think that creates a type of lighting effect. It looks really very nice. So we have this really cool image, suggesting seasonal change or the transition from fall into winter. We created this by using adjustment layers solely for the purpose of accessing their masks. To create clipping mask with the images above. Then use the Gradient tool to create this gradient blend between the images. Okay, foreground to transparent blend inside of each layer mask.
So really cool technique. It's kind of advanced but I think it's worth learning because you can create all kinds of really nice collage effects using this technique.

Hong Kong HOY Ambitious Dragon Retired
Ambitious Dragon, one of the greatest runners in the history of Hong Kong racing, has been retired.
Ambitious Dragon, one of the greatest runners in the history of Hong Kong racing, has been retired.
Ambitious Dragon overcame a raft of problems, including an injury the day before the race, and still produced a dramatic run to win the Longines Hong Kong Mile (HK-I) Dec. 9 by three-quarters of a length.

Just got home from the parade. It was fantastic. I loved it. I love the Shriner's clowns. I love the people who throw out the candy for the kids. That is one of the sweetest things that was ever started. But, what I saw today was absolutely ridiculous. The people on the floats throw out candy for the kids. The children are the ones that are supposed to be getting candy. Not parents. They were pushing children to the ground. When you see adults grabbing candy and putting it in their pockets so the children can't get it, something needs to be done where they can no longer do this. If something can't be done about it, then no more candy needs to be thrown at any parade at anytime. I'm sorry for the small children. They look forward to this.
The parade today was very good. But every year, it attracts every slob from miles and miles around. The parade route looks deplorable. Please, next year, no more candy. The big kids and the adults run all over the smaller children, taking the candy away from them. They go up to the vehicles in the parade and ask for candy, crowding the bands. They were afraid they weren't going to get their candy. Once again, no more candy next year.
I just saw where they said in the paper about people in Sikeston being jealous of people on food stamps and disability. It's not that they're jealous. It's just that the hard working people are so tired of paying taxes and working and trying to support their families while these people are able to work and don't. They know how to get out of it. It goes family to family. They would draw more if they would have worked and paid in more. How come they don't do more than they do. I know we have people who are badly in need, but they don't get much. It's the lazy people that gets it all or people who have never worked. It's a shame when the senior citizens, who have worked all their life, have to do without when the lazy ones get everything. And it's not just the blacks. There are just as many good blacks as there are white. There are just as many whites as there are black. There are good in both. I think they need to talk and read the Bible. You should provide for your own family. And if you can't provide for a child, please don't have it and mistreat it. Talk about all these little kids that go hungry. Well, they go hungry anyway, 'cause the people lay up and won't cook for them. They spend the money for something else.
I think that article about the black man driving a SUV and receiving food stamps is a bunch of crap. I think that whole story was made up by white people to make everyone think that only black people are receiving aid. No one in their right mind would say they have six kids, drive a SUV and get food stamps. Be serious. Get real.
This is in regards to the person who said Scott County does not inspect restaraunts and fairs. I have been at the Cotton Carnival for years, and every year the inspector has been by to check everything. They are very polite and professional. That person was just impressed by the other ones showing their badges and trying to be in front of the crowd, and doesn't really know the facts. Maybe they are just not quite as showy as Cape County having to show their badges to everyone but the ones who really need to see them.
To all you little whineys out there. I thought I worked with a bunch of cry babies, but you people out there got us all beat. It sure is tough trying to get home and listen to all of you whine about your co-workers.

Commerce in India
Company Secretary
A company secretary is a representative of the company, employed to carry out ministerial or administrative duties. Secretary is sometimes an entry-level title where an inexperienced candidate may start out by working in a group; filing papers, answering telephones, scheduling appointments, and handling mail for their employers. Senior secretaries perform supervisory duties or act as office managers who may order supplies, schedule meetings, handle petty cash and make travel arrangements. Company secretaries specialize in one type of office work. For instance, legal secretaries are familiar with the terms and procedures used by lawyers. Medical secretaries work in doctors' offices, hospitals, and other places where a knowledge of medical terms is essential. Bilingual secretaries work for the government and for other organizations that maintain contact and exchange letters with offices abroad.
There is a growing demand for these specialists accounting to the proliferation of the corporate sector.
Courses and eligibility:
The Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI) offers a three-stage course for students to qualify as company secretaries. The foundation course is of 8 months which can be availed after the completion of 10+2 examination. Graduates then will be subjected to take up the 9-month Intermediate Course. The last stage of the course is the final examination after which candidates become associate members of the ICSI and can start their career as a company secretary.
Basic Eligibility:
Some specializations under this program are:
Career Prospects:
A fresh graduate can aspire to get employed in government accounts as well as in law departments. Most of the qualified company secretaries can find well-paid positions in the public sector and corporate sector, banks and financial institutions, stock exchanges, company law boards and government departments. A secretary in a small firm may advance to office manager or transfer to a more responsible job in a larger organization. In large firms good secretaries may be given more administrative responsibility. They may become administrative assistants. Some take college courses in administration and progress to entry-level management positions.
Few Job Profiles:
Company Secretaryship is a well remunerated career option because of its multifaceted nature. Graduates can expect around Rs.10000 to 15000 per month at the junior level and Rs.30000 to 35000 pm at the senior level. Secretaries working in international companies earn even higher.

Are Consumers, Businesses Expecting Lower Prices?
One sentence within the 10-page Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing report may strike fear in the hearts of Federal Reserve officials: "Customers are anticipating resin price decreases and holding back orders," according to a respondent in the plastic and rubber products.
The Fed has kept borrowing dirt cheap to pump up demand and get businesses hiring again. But that goal can be short-circuited if buyers sit on the sidelines, expecting prices to decline. That was a big reason why housing demand took so long to turn around, and it's a reason why the Fed dislikes deflation so much.
This waiting game on prices may explain in part why the ISM's new orders index fell so sharply in May, to 48.8 from 52.3. May's index was the weakest since July 2012 and helped to drag down the top-line ISM index to a contractionary 49.0.
"Weak global activity has tended to depress commodity prices, and the expectation of lower prices appears to be influencing customer orders," economists at HSBC noted, citing the plastics comment.
Regional Fed surveys also show weak pricing power among other manufacturers, which suggests other consumers are holding off on ordering. And the lack of demand may be slowing hiring.
The Philadelphia Fed said in May that 10% of area firms reported lowering the prices for their own manufactured goods, compared with 7% saying they were increasing prices. May was the fifth consecutive month when more Philly firms were cutting prices rather than increasing them.
In a series of special questions asked in May, the New York Fed found the pressure to cut prices will continue over the coming year.
New York manufacturers anticipated an increase of just 1.2% in the prices they receive for their products, "the smallest expected increase recorded since these questions were first asked in May 2007," the New York Fed said.
Moreover, "the average respondent reported a nearly one in six chance that prices received would fall 2% or more–a probability that was somewhat higher than in last May's survey and considerably higher than in the 2011 survey," the report went on to say.
Efforts abroad to boost export activity, such as Japan's goal of a weaker yen, will increase the pressure on U.S. manufacturers to cut prices. If customers act rationally and wait for the products they want to get cheaper, the Fed will have one more reason to make no changes in its bond-buying program.

There are some struggles that thankfully my DD will never have to face but sadly some that she already has. And with the great election of our first Black President old wounds have been reopened and sometimes things are uglier than they have been in a long time.
And now I find that even me, a girl one time removed, kinda like a second cousin, from the civil right moment (and honestly not as conscious as I should been, that is until I had children of my own and a real reason to care in my heart) am profoundly moved by the passing of these Black women pioneers of late like Dorothy Height and now Lena Horne.
Oh Ms. Lena what a beauty, but more so, what a talent what a spirit, what a legacy.
Looking back at the age of 80, Ms. Horne said: "My identity is very clear to me now. I am a black woman. I'm free. I no longer have to be a 'credit.' I don't have to be a symbol to anybody; I don't have to be a first to anybody. I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else."

Slow Down and Play Faster: I know that every golfer has heard this from their buddies when they have played.
"You are swinging at it too fast." To some extent that may be correct, but it is not with the swing, it is with the pre-shot routine. Many golfers just walk up to the ball and hit it. Often times when I am giving a lesson, I tell my students "if you play slower, you can actually play faster." Meaning that if you take a couple extra seconds -and ONLY a couple of extra seconds - with each shot and go through a pre-shot routine or a "checklist" of what you need to do to execute the shot you want. This pre-shot routine will assure the proper grip, alignment and stance. When you execute the shot you want, you will hit fewer shots in the round and thus play faster since you did not have to hit the ball as many times or have to hunt for as many golf balls throughout the round.
To prove this, I think about when I was hired as the Women's Golf Coach at West Virginia Wesleyan College.
The "office" I was given wasn't really an office, it was a desk and file cabinet in the indoor practice facility. The file cabinet was full of old files and tournament results that I had to sort through to make space for my files.
One of the items that I found in that file cabinet was some notes about the golf swing, hand written by the late John Myers, who coached Wesleyan golf for over 30 years and who I am proud to say was a mentor of mine growing up playing golf and also when I began my coaching career. I am sure that these notes were used in his golf classes at Wesleyan or with his teams over the years.
The one thing in these notes that really caught my eye was the fact that the golf swing takes between 1.5 to 2 seconds to make. No matter how you think the swing felt, fast or slow, it was probably only two tenths of a second difference between the "fast" swing and the "slow" swing.
Tee Time Tip of the Week: Take a couple of extra seconds with each shot and go through your pre-shot routine each time. By playing slower, you will actually play faster and have more fun playing golf.

It's carnival season in New Orleans and Rio, but locals can get a taste of over-the-top Mardis Gras fun on March 1 at the Purple Onion's Winchester Boulevard cafe in the Vasona Station center.
The Onion has taken over a vacant storefront next-door to the cafe and transformed it into a Bourbon Street-style lounge, where the horn-driven ensemble Big Horn Rex will perform during the festivities. The party goes from 6 to 11 p.m. Revelers can sip Dixie and Abita beers, wines from the new Artisan Wine Depot on Los Gatos Boulevard and champagne punch cocktails. Crawfish, gumbo and other "low country" staples are on the menu. Tickets are $49, with a no host bar. Visit purpleonion.com. Laissez les bons temps rouler!
There was a distinctly Mexican flavor to the grand reopening celebration held recently at Los Gatos Audiology and Hearing Aid Center, 430 Monterey Ave. The event celebrated the retirement of longtime owner Ellen Mosher, who introduced new owner Dr. Christine Throm to the 150 friends and associates on hand. Also putting in an appearance was original owner, Takeshi Katsumoto, who opened the center in 1972.
Black Cat Hats, 59 N. Santa Cruz Ave., has another lease on life, with a new owner taking over. An announcement from top hatter Janet Dashiell says, "The new owner will be bringing in new lines and treasures."
The Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Department has teamed up with Pizza My Heart to offer $25 gift cards to the next 20 people who sign up for the town's "On Watch" video surveillance program. Pizza My Heart donated 50 gift certificates to the department, but many have already been distributed to early On Watch adopters. Residents and business owners who have cameras positioned outside their homes or businesses can join the program by visiting joinonwatch.com to register their cameras.
Incidentally, Pizza My Heart's so-called Watsonville Apple Pizza was just named the best pizza in California in Zagat's "50 Sates, 50 Pizzas" survey. In addition to apple slices, the pizza has bacon and pepperoni topped with Gorgonzola.
Mortgage Executive Magazine has named RMR Financial CEO Robert Reid to its list of the top 100 most influential mortgage executives in America. Reid, who co-founded RMR in Los Gatos, has worked in the mortgage industry for more than 24 years.
It's a wrap for the Winter Olympics, but Los Gatos-based RockTape made an impression in Sochi by sponsoring the U.S. Speedskating team. RockTape's kinesiology tape is used to treat common muscle injuries like shin splints, and back and neck injuries.
Another Los Gatos company has been making news with its annual list of "idiotic" passwords. SplashData says the most common password used in 2013 was "123456." The word "password" was No. 2 on the list. SplashData reports other words such as photoshop and admin appeared in the top 25, as did "iloveyou" and "letmein."
The idea, of course, is not to let anyone into your accounts by creating strong passwords with a mix of numbers, punctuation marks and upper and lower case letters. Visit splashdata.com for the complete top 25 list. The list was compiled from millions of stolen passwords that were posted online.

Scottish coach Andy Robinson has been unrepentant this week about his hopes of turning Saturday's match again Wales into the muddiest game of rugby since the Ynysybwl Pals Second XV had a prolonged chuck-about during the Battle of Passchendaele.
"I'll be honest, I'm just praying it'll shit it down," muttered the five-times winner of Rugby's Grumpiest Troll award earlier this week, following the news that no-one can find the handle that shuts the Millennium Stadium roof. "But I've got an extra trick up my sleeve," he added, with a twinkle in one of the misshapen holes in his forehead.
As it transpires, Robinson planned to further stir up pre-match mind games by enlisting a local rainmaker to dance about the pitch following Thursday night's practice session, waving a plastic tomahawk. This backfired spectacularly when none other than Dale 'The Chief' McIntosh turned up as the only respondent to the SRU's newspaper ad.
"Remember me Robbo?" offered McIntosh, replete in gold lame head-dress, dyed pigeon feathers and felt espadrilles, wielding a cement trowel.
Andy Robinson is no longer available for comment.

• Multiple-dose charcoal therapy has been shown to increase the excretion of some drugs. This study assesses the effects of this intervention on salicylate excretion in the postabsorptive phase. Ten human volunteers participated in this randomized, controlled, crossover, two-limbed protocol. On two occasions each volunteer ingested 2880 mg of aspirin. During the experimental limb, 25 g of activated charcoal was ingested at 4, 6, 8, and 10 hours after drug ingestion. Pharmacokinetic data were derived from serial serum salicylate concentrations, and urinary salicylate excretion was quantified. Treatment effects were 9% and 18%, respectively. Although both are significant, they are clinically modest, making multiple-dose charcoal therapy of questionable value for acute salicylate poisoning. Controlled data demonstrating the clinical efficacy of this therapy are required to validate it as an intervention for this condition.
