Skill Level Beginner
Here I want to share with you a sharpening effect which is called High Pass Sharpening. This particular technique, it's really popular because it allows you to bring out nice texture and also do some interesting edge sharpening. The way that it works is you have to copy your background layer and then apply a High Pass Filter to that layer. And then de-saturate and apply a Blending mode. Let's go through all of those steps. With our background layer press Command+J or Ctrl+J, and let's name the layer HP for High Pass.
Next, with the Zoom tool I will go ahead and zoom in on the image. And what I want to do is I want to zoom in to the actual pixels, you can click on that button there to do that and then press the Spacebar key to reposition. When I get close to this photograph that I captured on the Brooklyn Bridge I am a little bit disappointed. The image isn't tack sharp, it's a little bit soft. Well we can correct that by using this technique. The way that this technique works as I mentioned is next we to go to our Filter pull-down menu, we go all the way down to other and then we choose High Pass.
At first glance the High Pass Filter is going to seem kind of strange. There is a Radius slider, which allows us to kind of bring in more or less of the image that we can take this down so we kind of have this gray or muted view of our picture. Well what we are doing here is we are seeing this perspective which is going to allow us to bring in the detail. So whatever detail you see here, texture on the face and the coat and the background whatever it is, is a detail that will be sharpened. As you decrease this less detail or less edges will be sharpened as you increase it more.
Let's go ahead and choose an amount where we can kind of see the image and it almost looks like it's pressed into foil or something. We can see it but not quite much of it. The next step after having applied this is going to be to remove the color from this layer. You may notice that there is some color here, we need to get rid of that. So press Command+U on a Mac or Ctrl+U on Windows to open up Hue/Saturation for this layer. Let me exaggerate for a second if I increase the Saturation you can see all this color is here even though you don't really notice it.
So to get rid of the color, drag this slider all the way to the left. So far so good, we applied High Pass, we then pressed Command+U or Ctrl+U to de-saturate, and now we click OK. Next is using blending modes and also duplicating this layer in order to intensify this effect. Well here, we can go down to our blending modes and choose say Overlay, Soft Light or Hard Light, let's start off with Soft Light, this is kind of a middle ground here.
If I click this on or off what you should start to see is that the image it will just subtly snap, how much sharpening is applied is of course how high that Radius was when we use the High Pass Filter. Let me zoom in a little bit closer, here I am past 100% we can kind of see how it's bringing in some nice edged detail into the photograph and also it's bringing out some good texture. Well here, if we want to crank this up we can try Overlay. If we want even more we can go to Hard Light.
And as we apply those amounts you should see that the photograph kind of comes to life in different ways. I'm hoping you can see that texture on the jacket and also in the face. Let's say we want to go back to something more subtle, say the Soft Light amount. Well next what you can do in order to increase the amount of sharpening is you can duplicate or triplicate or go beyond that regards to copying this layer. So for example; press Command+J or Ctrl+J on this layer. Well now we have twice the intensity and you know it's kind of common when using High Pass to apply a real low Radius and then just to duplicate that layer a number of different times so you can kind of build up or stack up that effect.
You don't always have to do that, but sometimes it can really help make that image kind of sink or pop. Another thing you might want to experiment with is using two different blending modes so one is a bit more intense than the other. You can also tinker with lowering or increasing the Opacity. So that you can get just the right amount of sharpening. And the reason why this step of the process is so important is because if you go back to that High Pass Filter and choose that radius, you don't really know how much to choose.
So typically you choose perhaps just a little or a lot and then here you can then modify it with your Blending mode, your Opacity or with however many layers you have. And then finally after you've dialed in your layers you want to click on your eye icons to evaluate your overall before and after.

text: Johannesburg - Springbok fans have learnt from their soccer-fanatic co-South Africans - they are going shopping in a squatter camp for green makarapas ahead of the Rugby World Cup starting on Friday. GALLERY: Boks build towards Wales Test VIDEO: World in Union "Twenty years ago, who would have thought that white people would be shopping for makarapas in a squatter camp?," asked Jane Simmonds, of Sandton, in northern Johannesburg, in a report in The Star newspaper. She is now taking orders for Springbok makarapas for Uggy Khoza, an artist from Limpopo, who has decided to make the traditional hand-cut and hand-painted hard hats for rugby fans. Khoza, who lives in a shack in Primrose, Germiston, has already sold 400 of the green hats, which feature the form of a Springbok popping out at the front. "South Africa has changed so much and I love it!," said Simmonds. For those whites who did not want to venture into the unknown world of an informal settlement, fans can get the makarapas from The Wedge shopping centre in Morningside, at Vasili's Restaurant.

The A's squashed speculation that assistant general manager David Forst is in the mix to become the next general manager of the San Diego Padres
The A's said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press on Wednesday that Forst, Billy Beane's longtime right-hand man, has not interviewed for the job, nor has anyone asked for permission to interview him.
"At this time, he has no interest in pursuing a position outside of Oakland and has no plans to leave the A's organization," the statement concluded.
Forst completed his sixth season as the A's assistant GM.
"We don't believe in curses," Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis said. "We never believed there was a curse in Boston. I don't believe there's a hex (on the Angels). It's just two teams going at it."
Los Angeles hasn't even led Boston for eight total innings of those last 10 games, and the Angels' only win was a 12-inning nail-biter last season.

Arab social media users pan Zero Dark Thirty
Arab social media users have been generally uninterested and unmoved by the controversial American film Zero Dark Thirty, a film that portrays the US' use of torture in the prosecution of the war on terror.
Zero Dark Thirty, about the manhunt of al-Qaeda's Osama Bin Laden, caused an uproar in the US as it was released in cinemas throughout the country December and January. The work was much discussed on American social media platforms, which we monitored from
December 19, 2012-January 19, 2013. During that period, we captured 370,000 user comments (from English-speaking, US-based users) on the film, mainly grappling with the portrayal of torture as an apparently effective technique in the global campaign against terrorism. (See our January 22 Buzz Report.) Since then, Zero Dark Thirty was nominated for several Academy Awards and has been released in theaters throughout the Arab region – a region that has largely been on the receiving end of American policy in the war on terror since 2001. But Arab social media user interest in the film – which we monitored from December 19, 2012 to February 26, 2013, has been extremely modest by comparison, attracting only 2000 user comments.
Our analysis of user sentiment found that Arab and American social media users criticized and praised the film in almost similar proportions: in our monitoring of Arab social media user sentiment, almost 49% viewed the film negatively, while 41% praised it greatly; The remaining 10% were posts and retweets on news of the film – box office performance, award nominations, and Arabic translations of English reviews on the film by prominent US critics. Among American social media users, more than 50% were critical of the film, less than 40% praised it and roughly 10% of users analyzed reported news of the film – such as news of Oscar nominations and articles and/or reviews of the film, without expressing a personal opinion.
The content of user discussions, however, was strikingly different. Among Arab users, the main discussions focused on what users regarded as US administration/CIA propaganda and the defemation of Arab/Muslim countries (58%). Users also discussed technical aspects of the film, such as whether the film's craft was worthy of the international buzz it has received (23%). Finally, users dished on the film's several Oscar nominations (winning only Best Achievement in Sound Editing) (17%). The propagandistic aspect of the film was much less of a concern among American users (constituting only 3% of discussions). American users tended to be predominantly focused on the film's depictions of torture and its utility as an information-gathering tactic (65% of total volume). Arab users did discuss the portrayal of torture, but gave more importance to discussing the status of Bin Laden, debating whether he should be described as a hero or a terrorist. US users never questioned if Bin Laden was a terrorist. No positive sentiment towards him was recorded from US user comments. American users also focused on what they believed were historical inaccuracies in the film, and conversations eventually turned to other aspects of the war on terror, such as the use of drone strikes. Content in the film that was experienced by Arab users as defamation of Arabs/Muslims was perceived by American as Islamaphopia, but discussions of this constituted a much smaller portion (1%) of all discussions among American users.
The chart below depicts the difference between the US and Arab user discussion trends. Note that US users discussed the Golden Globe awards and the Oscar nominations, but didn't focus much on them, since the monitoring of US users ended on January 19, more than a month ahead of the Oscars.
In addition to the discussions monitored, we further captured approximately 240 posts on forums with links to download the film with Arabic subtitles.
Zero Dark Thirty – US propaganda (39%)
Although a majority of users denounced the film (53%) as a "lie" aimed at "polishing US policies and military", a relatively large proportion (46%) praised the film as critical and "exposing" of the American CIA's "enhanced interrogation" policies in the war on terror.
Zero Dark Thirty – Film Quality (23%)
Forum users (like startimes.com) and bloggers delivered their own critiques on the film. Almost 47% of them praised its quality and craftsmanship without regard to any political statements being made by the film. Some 53% criticized the film as "boring", unintentionally "funny" and "too long".
Zero Dark Thirty – Depiction of Muslims (19%)
Users particularly attacked the film for its depiction of Muslims, noting that scenes depicting terrorists were accompanied by the sound of the adhan (the Muslim call for prayer). Users also noticed that the film refers to mosques as the hub of terrorists' plotting and scheming and frequently referred to the film as "racist". Many of them share Pakistani users' observation that the film portrayed Pakistani characters speaking Arabic, when in fact Pakistanis speak Urdu. Saudi users specifically took umbrage at the film's reference to them as terrorists, while Kuwaiti users were infuriated by the depiction of nighclubs in the emirate (which users assert do not exist). The latter group referred to a scene in which a CIA agent bribes a Kuwaiti national (and frequent nightclub patron) for information with a Lamborghini.
Zero Dark Thirty – Awards Season (16%)
Zero Dark Thirty was nominated for four Golden Globe Awards for Best Motion Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Actress, which Jessica Chastain won on Jan 13, 2013. The film was also nominated for five Academy Awards (the Oscars) for Best Picture, Best Leading Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Film Editing, and Best Sound Editing. Zero Dark Thirty won in the latter category, tying with the 2012 James Bond Movie Skyfall. The film continued to be nominated for more 120 awards, and has so far won 60.
Ahead of the Oscars on February 24, 2013, users discussed whether the film would win the Best Film category, especially after the the Academy snubbed director Kathryb Bigelow in its nominations for Best Director. A small portion (10%) hoped the film and its actress would win the award, while others (65%) expected it to win on political grounds as a film that had positively portrayed American policy. The remaining comments listed winners and nominees and discussed other films nominated for the 2013 Oscars.
Zero Dark Thirty – Bin Laden: Hero or terrorist? (2%)
Arab users also debated whether Osama bin Laden should be acknowledged as a hero who fought American occupation, and thus died a martyr, or as a terrorist responsible for indiscriminate killing rather than for fighting real battles or attempting to liberate Palestine from Israeli occupation. Some in the former group described Bin Laden as "Sheikh al-Mujahedeen"(the Lead of the Fighters), while others cursed him, calling him a "terrorist" and an "American weapon" in Afghanistan.
In our monitoring of Arab social media user reactions to Zero Dark Thirty, Twitter attracted the largest share of volume of user comments, accounting for 36% of the total. Forums and reader comments on news websites closely followed. Please note that the total volume of user comments (600) includes comments by non-Arab readers on English-speaking Arab websites such as Al Jazeera. The chart below shows the share of voice on SM platforms on Zero Dark Thirty.

Deficit Talks Should Avoid Tax Hikes, Hatch Says
A top Republican senator is expected to throw more cold water on prospects for a broad deficit-reduction deal, saying GOP lawmakers think taxes should not be a part of the discussions.
In a speech he plans to deliver Monday, Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the top Republican on the tax-writing Finance Committee, says Republicans favor keeping a tax overhaul separate from spending cuts.
"The sentiment among Republicans generally is that fiscal reform and tax reform must be separate endeavors," Mr. Hatch says in his prepared remarks. "We must reduce deficits and debt through spending reductions. Separately, we must promote tax reform. If we try to mix the two, we risk walking down the road to a backdoor tax increase."
A bipartisan group of six senators has been trying to come up with a framework for a possible deficit-reduction deal, along the lines of the plan that President Barack Obama's fiscal commission proposed late last year. That plan included a range of spending cuts, as well as a sweeping overhaul of business and individual taxes that would lower rates but raise more revenue, mainly by curbing or eliminating many deductions and other tax breaks.
The Senate effort has stumbled over objections from both the left and the right. Some senior Democrats have sought to take Social Security out of the deficit-reduction equation, while conservative activists such as Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, have objected to any proposal for higher taxes.
In his speech to the conservative American Action Forum, Mr. Hatch suggests that a tax revamp could help close the federal government's large annual deficits simply by accelerating economic growth. "For all of the disagreements and complications, there is a growing consensus that tax reform, done properly, is an imperative to getting America's fiscal house in order," he says. Many tax experts believe U.S. corporate tax rules are particularly out of line with international norms, and drive investment overseas.
But deliberately raising tax levels as part of the effort could stir interest groups against it, Mr. Hatch says.
The Finance Committee will hold the first of its tax-overhaul hearings on Tuesday, as it begins what is expected to be a year-long exploration of problems and potential solutions.

The Crisp, Sweet Action, and Bengal Tiger won't be sold in the familiar 16-ounce tall boys seen here, but instead in these squat, adorable little 355-millileter cans the company calls "nano kegs." This is the first time Sixpoint will be available throughout the U.K.[Eating Isn't Cheating]

This week, a long-awaited celebrity joined the ranks of Twitter users, Vanessa Hudgens revealed her first tattoo, and Angie Harmon showed off her 'retail therapy.'
From movies and MA programs, to fiction and fashion, it seems like James Franco has done everything, so it's about time he finally got a Twitter account. One of his inaugural tweets was this picture of an unidentified friend holding a sign that says, "Mile High Club?" You can imagine what the responses were…! Australian model and MTV VJ Ruby Rose takes full responsibility for Vanessa Hudgens' new butterfly neck tattoo, tweeting, "Please dont blame me.. But i may have convinced Vanessa hudgens to get a tattoo… Now. Her first.. By bang bang."
Kim Kardashian just doesn't quit. She's now recording a single with The Dream to benefit cancer research. She tweeted pics of her first day in the studio with the message: "This was such a fun experience. It's great to challenge yourself to try new things." Whether it was the stress of New York Fashion Week, having three kids, or being the social media host of the 2011 SAG Awards, Angie Harmon apparently needed some retail therapy. She showed off four fabulous footwear selections, including men's-inspired wingtips and yellow heels.
New York Fashion Week must have been a whirlwind for designer Jeremy Scott, who tweeted "I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP AND HAD TO THINK HAD IT HAPPENED OR HAD I DREAMED IT HAPPENED AS IM STILL SO SLEEP DEPRIVED !!!" He quickly following that with this pic and the caption, "THEN I SAW THIS PICTURE OF @KANYEWEST W ME BACKSTAGE AND REMEMBERED THE SHOW DID HAPPEN !" Samantha Ronson tweeted, "Gaga fans out in full force!!! amazing- this was my fav outfit" from Lady Gaga's concert at the Borgata in Atlantic City, which kicked off her Monster Ball tour.

SIKESTON - It might be a little early to envision going trick-or-treating, but there couldn't be a better time to start thinking about what to enter in the Seventh Annual Halloween Window Painting Contest.
The project will give non-profit youth groups an opportunity to paint windows in the downtown area from 8-10 a.m. Oct. 27. The theme will be centered around Red Ribbon Week, which focuses on drug awareness, and a red ribbon must be displayed on at least one Halloween character to qualify for prizes.
It's a joint effort, said Sikeston Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Missy Marshall. The Chamber organizes the event, the Elks Lodge donates the prize money, the Ladies Auxiliary coordinates the judging and the participants have a fun-filled morning.
"This project is a way of showing community spirit and the prizes support our youth organizations," Marshall pointed out. "It's a chance to show artistic talent. Besides, how often are kids given permission to paint on store windows?"
There will be three categories of competition: the windows deemed scariest, most creative and most drug awareness/Red Ribbon Week-oriented. The winners in each category will receive $150.
Applications can be obtained at the Chamber office, located at 1 Industrial Drive, and must be returned there no later than 5 p.m. Oct. 19. The Chamber members are hoping interested groups will turn in their applications soon to enable the staff to begin assigning windows.
Participants must represent a not-for-profit youth organization and although adults are not allowed to paint the windows, adult supervision is required.
Drop cloths or newspaper must be used and each group is responsible for cleaning their own area when finished. Only tempra paint may be used and no ladders are allowed. The name of the organization, not individual participants, must be written on the window.
Participants are responsible for cleaning the windows by Nov. 3.
"This project is a partnership between the Chamber and the Sikeston Elks Club and Elks Auxiliary to promote community spirit, creativity and last but not least help our community," Marshall said. "It is an opportunity for youth groups to win cash prizes to support their organizations. They also receive recognition by placing their group's name on the displays. I would encourage any non-profit youth group to fill out their application soon."
For more information call the Chamber at 471-2498.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. - The Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC) says new motorcycle retail sales declined in 2007 after 14 consecutive years of growth. The organization announced the numbers at its annual board meeting held last Friday at Dealer Expo in Indianapolis.
The MIC's preliminary estimate for motorcycles and scooters sold last year is 1,105,000 units, down 7.2 percent from 1,190,000 units retailed in 2006. The organization says a final, official number will be determined later this year when the MIC factors in distributors and manufacturers who do not report their sales figures to the association.
Still, despite the decline, 2007 still was at least the third-best year for motorcycle sales in the past 30 years. In addition, retail numbers for scooters and dual-purpose bikes were at the highest levels in the past 20 years.
The MIC estimates that combined, motorcycle, ATV and side-by-side sales topped 2.1 million units. The record for most new bikes sold in a year is 1.5 million units in 1973.

WHILE MOST MOTORCYCLES are getting faster, quicker, sleeker and better handling than the previous year's models, one brand bucking that trend and doing so quite successfully is Royal Enfield. One of the industry's oldest brands is still producing and selling the industry's oldest model, the 500cc Bullet.
The Bullet was born in the UK in 1949. In 1957 the tooling was sold to Royal Enfield's distributor in India, Enfield India, and it's been producing continually improved versions of that basic model ever since. The bikes are imported to the United States by Royal Enfield USA, headquartered in Cannon Falls, Minn., and owned by Kevin Mahoney, an ex-manual arts instructor, and long-time motorcycle sales veteran Ron Greene.
Mahoney acquired the distribution rights in 1998, and the brand limped along until 2010 with sales between 300 and 350 units per year. In 2010, with most of the industry looking at continually declining sales, Greene said Royal Enfield doubled its sales and, for the first quarter of this year, is 62 percent ahead of last year. Granted we're not talking huge numbers, but we're not talking huge media expenses or a lot of publicity, either.
Last year the brand retailed 700 units, this year's sales are forecasted at 800-plus, and for 2013, they're forecasting 1,000. Greene attributes growth to a number of reasons — improved product, the fact that the bikes are now legal in California, and reliability underlined with an industry-competitive two-year warranty. A serious effort was launched about two years ago to develop an improved and expanded dealer organization. By the end of the year they expect to have dealers in all states, and are making a contentious effort to weed out "hobby" dealers. To that end, they expect most of their dealers to retail between 25 and 50 units annually.

What does that mean?
The goal has been to eliminate the usage of insecure applications
(telnet, ftp, remote shell) which transmit passwords in cleartext.
ssh, scp, sftp do that. Why button down ftp when you want to leave
the telnet door open?
> Do I need full SSH permissions to use scp?
Where is this stuff that says giving ssh access is dangerous?
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

Allianz fund adds more risk
The manager of the £29.5m Allianz Brazil fund has been reducing his exposure to defensive stocks and using the proceeds to buy into the energy and materials sector.
He has now moved to overweight positions in both sectors.
"Since the final quarter of last year we have been reducing the names of defensive stock in the fund to add more risk in to the portfolio," he said.
"We are expecting the country to see robust growth this year compared to last."
Mr de Leon said he was expecting gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the country to be 3.5 per cent this year, up from 2.9 per cent last year.
As the eurozone debt crisis impacted the country heavily last year, causing risk appetite to wane, he said investors were now experiencing "fatigue" with the region.
"Investors are now shifting away from Europe and we are seeing big inflows into Brazil from foreign investors, which is another reason to add more risk in to the portfolio," he said.
Meanwhile, the manager was expecting further cuts to the Brazilian real interest rate to made this year, after the country's government cut rates by 1.5 percentage points (150 basis points) in 2011.
"We would expect another 50bps in March and then April to bring the total cycle of easing down by 300bps," he said.
The fund has recorded a loss of 0.1 per cent in the year to February 3, compared to an average loss of 5.5 per cent from funds in the IMA Specialist sector, according to Morningstar.

Water district ends water restrictions
SEBRING - The good news about excessive rainfall is that Southwest Florida Water Management District finally did what few in Highlands County really needed - ended lawn watering restrictions. At its Tuesday meeting, the SWFWMD Governing Board voted to let all water shortage orders expire on July 31. However, district residents are still being asked to observe the year-round conservation measures beginning Aug. 1 that include watering up to twice-per-week and allow residents to determine when to water. Parts of southern Highlands County are in South Florida Water Management District, where year-round conservation measures, landscape irrigation rules are still in effect. "No changes are proposed, and SFWMD does not currently have Water Shortage Orders in place," said public information officer Gabe Margasak.Highlands residents who live in SWFWMD are encouraged to water only if their lawn and landscape needs it and to turn off their irrigation system if it has rained or rain is predicted in the next 24 hours. Signs that a lawn needs water include a blue-gray appearance, blades folded in half lengthwise, and footprints remaining on the lawn for several minutes after walking. "However, some local governments may impose different schedules or retain stricter measures," Public Information Officer Susanna Martinez Tarokh. "Residents should check with their local governments before changing their irrigation schedule. "It's my understanding that Highlands County should already be on two-days-per-week watering," Tarokh said, so the announcement changes nothing here. The change impacts the central region - Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco - who have been on a once-per-week-watering schedule since earlier this year." The governing board allowed water-shortage orders to expire after significant improvements in aquifer and river levels as a result of this summer's above-average rainfall. The region's major public water suppliers have also been able to capture and store large supplies of water to meet the needs of residents. Even-numbered addresses may water on Thursday or Sunday before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Odd addresses may water on Wednesday and-or Saturday before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Locations without a discernible address, such as rights-of-way and other common areas inside a subdivision, may water on Tuesday and-or Friday before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. Plants other than lawns can be hand watered and micro-irrigated on any day at any time. New lawns and plants have a 30-30 establishment period. On the day of installation, watering is allowed on any day at any time. During the first 30 days, watering is allowed on any day during the allowable hours. During the second 30 days, watering is allowed three-days-per-week: even-numbered addresses may water on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday; odd-numbered addresses may water Monday, Wednesday and Saturday; and locations without a discernable address may water on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday. Reclaimed water remains subject to voluntary watering hours, unless restricted by the local government or utility. There are no specific restrictions on fountains, car washing and pressure washing. firstname.lastname@example.com 863-386-5828

moreBefore Hip Hop, there was the pimp. The book that brought black literature to the streets is back to show the Hip Hop generation what it's all about, where they came from. By telling the story of one man's struggles and triumphs in an underground world, this book shows the game doesn't change - it just has a different swagger. Iceberg Slim's story is now depicted in a major motion picture distributed worldwide. Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp shows Slim's transformation from pimp to the author of 7 classic books.
As real as you can get without jumping in, this is the story of Slim's life as he saw, felt, tasted, and smelled it. Only he could tell this story and make the reader feel it. If you thought Hustle & Flow was the true pimp story, this book is where it all began. This is the heyday of the pimp, the hard-won pride and glory, small though it may be; the beginnings of pimp before it was dragged in front of the camera, before pimp juice and pimp style. A trip through hell by one man who lived to tell the tale. The dangers of jail, addiction and death that are still all too familiar for today's black community. Though it is a tale of his times, it will remain current and true for as long as there is a race bias, as long as there is a street life, as long as there is exploitation. less

YORK — Only 30 minutes into the York Middle School Parent Group-sponsored ice cream social on Thursday, the fifth and sixth graders had devoured four tubs of ice cream — emptying the last of the vanilla, chocolate and coffee confection.
"Normally we take ice cream home," said Vicky Carr, YMS Parent Group member. "We had a great turnout this year."
Across the middle school cafeteria, students filled their bowls with toppings ranging from M&Ms to gummy bears, and from chocolate jimmies to whipped cream.
Parent volunteers like Siri Blanchette kept reminding the students to only take one spoonful of each topping, "But at least when they take two they do it with a smile on their face," she said.
Blanchette said she volunteers at events like the ice cream social because she likes seeing the faces of the kids her son goes to school with.
"I like knowing who's in school, and they all have really great manners," she said as she topped bowls of ice cream with whipped cream.
Sixth graders Amy Forester, Ella Hanson and Zoe LaFleur-Kief huddled around their bowls of chocolate ice cream, enjoying the after school time with friends.
"The best part is eating ice cream, but I like seeing my friends too," Forester said.
Hanson agreed, "It's a great way to meet new kids."
While the sixth graders enjoyed their second trip to the annual event, fifth graders scooped up the new opportunity.
"This is my first ice cream social ever," said Jay Millis. "There is a 100 percent chance I will be back next year."
Classmate Riley Short disagreed, "I'd say it's more like 200 percent."
As the last of the students trickled through the line for second helpings, Principal David Williams said he enjoys seeing the students, and parents, in the relaxed atmosphere.
"It's the first time I get to meet a bunch of the students and parents in an informal way," Williams said. "It's always a big hit."

Sarah- I wish there was a magic phrase to ease fear I would chant it for you. Keep your thoughts focused on baby's well being and keep checking movement. Your odds are SO GREAT!!! We always focus on that bad percentage since we love them so fiercely. You will have a beautiful little one in no time and then you can breathe......at least for a minute!!
Elena - how very exciting. There is still time momma. It's gonna be great!
Almacham - hoping things are all well. How far along are you?
Was hoping to see me some baby announcements!! No rush though!!
AFM - well what a difference a couple days makes. That peace I had was shattered yesterday as I woke up to more spotting and more stuff on tp. DH had me rest all day but the stress got the best of me and I lost it. I just want some peace in this. That is what I miss the most is the peace before M/C and the confidence that my body will do exactly what He designed it for. So here I am still spotting and it is starting to have more rust-red to it. I actually saw a small bit of tissue the last bathroom trip. Called doc and the nurse was sweet but basically said put your feet up and pray. There isn't anything they can do I know that. I just feel really alone in the desire to keep my baby. My regular doc wil be in tomorrow and I may call just to see if she will at least do betas. I am feeling some dull pelvic pain/ AF type cramping and it scares the heck out of me.
Does anyone have positive spotting/cramping stories to share and give me hope? UGH. Please Lord consider letting us keep this one.

"Jeraline's Vase"
From the macabre to the romantic. This has been a strange week. This little pink vase was a thrift shop find by a friend. I never used it because, frankly, I couldn't figure out how. It's kind of small to hold a lot of flowers or even a bud or two. But I found it worked very well as a complement to the pink and yellow roses. I love this bright little piece. Hope you do too!

Casting on at the end of a row
I am knitting a shrug style babies jacket. The border is added after, and I am just starting the Left Front. The pattern says cast on 2 stitches at the end of a row. How do I do this, sounds daft I know, but I have not grasped it yet. It creates a hole like edge around the garment. Help please
You would use a knitted or cable cast on which can be done best by turning your piece and holding the needle in your left hand. Or you can use the backwards loop CO with the needle in your right. Look at the Basic Techniques section here for Cast Ons.

"My Irish American background has a lot to do with my work, both in terms of the values that I was raised with -- that we'll be judged by how we treat the least among us -- and that the rich man is basically up to no good," he says.
"I think that we as Irish Americans have a fairly dark view of the world in general and that accounts for a dark sense of humor, and in fact it accounts for the need for a sense of humor because we sense that the human condition in all of its manifestations and that rotten core that exists in so much of what we have to go through necessitates a good sense of humor, or another pint, or both."
In time for the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking documentary "Roger & Me," Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" returns to the issue that he's been examining throughout his career -- the impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, on the rest of the world).
In scene after scene Moore poses the same simple question that has remained taboo in America for decades -- what is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism?
To find an answer, Moore also takes us into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down. He travels to Washington, D.C. and elsewhere.
And in the film's hilarious climatic scenes he even attempts to make a citizens arrest of the CEOs of Goldman Sachs and several other Wall Street titans who received our bailout money with no plan to pay it back. In the process he criticizes both Republicans and Democrats for the abuses he sees around him.
"All of our political parties are bought and paid for by corporate America, Wall Street, and the wealthy interests," says Moore. "The Republican Party more so, but the Democrats take their share of the loot too. I've always been about exposing those who are making decisions that are not in the best interests of the people, and it doesn't matter to me what party they belong to."
Moore says that most media commentators in America do not come from the working class and they get very nervous around people like himself who do.
"I take much of the attacks and the criticism toward me as being very class-based, but as Americans we don't like to acknowledge that reality," Moore says.
Capitalism, the film concludes, is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil.
Says Moore, "You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people, and that something is democracy."

Laura has continued to inform her practice and her teaching through intensives, immersions and several 10 day Vipassana meditation retreats, as taught by SN Goenka.

Polly Schmid
15 years ago, avid ski racer and equestrian Polly Schmid was suffering from terrible back pain, seeing doctors weekly. Diagnosed with Scoliosis, pain was keeping Polly from participating in the many sports she loves to do. That is when she turned to yoga, and with dedicated practice, not only did her back pain go away, but life became easier and much less stressful. Polly became hooked on yoga, and has since obtained three yoga certifications, and is currently working on her 500 Hour. Polly hopes to pass the mind/body/spirit connection and freedom she's attained, to her students.
Kaitlyn Zwagerman
After a spontaneous leap of faith, Kaitlyn found herself transforming along an unanticipated life changing, soul stretching journey. She completed her teaching certification with Jennilee Toner (Hot Warrior Yoga School, RYT-200) and has been teaching around Southern Vermont since June 2013. Breaking free from the mindset of the perfect looking posture, she reminds her students that all bodies, bones and minds are not built the same way and that yoga is a deeply personal practice. She celebrates the beauty of our individualities by creating vinyasa flows that encourage safe, self-expansive movement. Her focus is on tuning students into the sensations of their bodies with an emphasis on realizing, embracing and working with limitations. Since the birth of her daughter last June, yoga has taken on new meaning while she navigates the bumpy, yet wonderful, terrain of motherhood. When not on her mat, Kait enjoys spending time with the love of her life, their daughter and two (crazy) dogs, as they fix up their first house in Manchester, VT.

Now a registered yoga teacher (RYT 200) through PWYS and Yoga Alliance, Kristin finds pure joy in serving her students on an individual and unique level. She strives towards guiding her students through a practice that will allow them to see beyond just the physical practice or mental clutter, to a place centered in presence. With a focus on joining pranayama (breath) and movement, Kristin sees yoga as a path towards self-discovery and self-love. With each practice, she hopes to continue to work towards creating a space that allows students to discover their own path towards finding their own specific balance, physically, mentally and spiritually.
Paula Pelkey

Skewered by his own side: How just 24 minutes of the most humiliating interviews ever broadcast sealed the fate of the BBC's Director General
- BBC chief interviewed on BBC Breakfast and Radio 4's Today programme
- Director-General said he found out about Lord McAlpine allegations on Twitter because 'he was out' when Newsnight aired programme
- John Humphrys on Radio 4 tells Entwistle: 'You should go, shouldn't you?'
- George Entwistle forced to resign for 'shoddy journalism' last night
- Lord Patten says Mr Entwistle was 'destroyed' by botched investigation
BBC Director-General George Entwistle sealed his own fate as he was humiliated by his staff in two disastrous interviews yesterday.
The BBC chief received a grilling by respected reporters on BBC Breakfast and Radio 4's Today programme.
During the two interviews Mr Entwistle, forced to resign for 'shoddy journalism' yesterday, revealed his lack of awareness of the Newsnight programme in which Lord McAlpine was wrongly accused of being involved in a child abuse scandal.
Scroll down for video
Stand off: John Humphrys (left) grills George Entwistle (right) on air and questions him, 'you should go, shouldn't you?'
He claimed he knew nothing about the
allegations against Lord McAlpine - despite him being a former senior
Tory - and had only found out about the extent of the accusations on
Twitter the day after the show's broadcast.
In a tense 15-minute interview with veteran presenter John Humphrys on BBC's flagship Radio 4 Today news programme, Mr Entwistle was told by Humphrys: 'You should go, shouldn't you?'
He also admitted he only saw the Newsnight programme the day after it was aired, saying: 'I was out'.
In a second nine-minute interview with Louise Minchin and Charlie Stayt on BBC Breakfast, he stumbled his way through a series of damning questions.
When asked: 'When did you know as Director-General of the BBC that Lord McAlpine was the figure they were investigating?'
Mr Entwistle is grilled by Louise Minchin and Charlie Stayt on BBC Breakfast yesterday
At one point during the humiliating interview, pictured, Stayt said: 'Many people will find it extraordinary that in your position and given what has already happened that you weren't alerted?
He replied, whilst stumbling and repeating his words: 'I didn't find that out, to be frankly I didn't find that out until it became clear from twitter comments and from newspaper coverage during this last week. I did not know in advance that he was in any sense involved in that Newsnight investigation but I had not had that news investigation brought to my attention prior to transmission.'
At one point during the humiliating interview Stayt said: 'Many people will find it extraordinary that in your position and given
what has already happened that you weren't alerted?
'Now that seems like the most extraordinary thing that you, if you like members of the public are finding things out for yourself sat at home while you are looking at the internet, that is an extraordinary situation?'
He admitted the Newsnight report which
led to the Tory peer being implicated in
child sexual abuse should not have been broadcast, saying: 'It was our
responsibility and Newsnight's responsibility to make sure
that and misidentification did not end up on Television.
'We did not manage to do that and therefore we have to take the blame for that, no question'.
I quit: George Entwistle, left, makes his resignation statement last night with BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten
And in one key exchange on the Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Humphrys asked: 'When did you know
that this film was being broadcast and when was it drawn to your
attention that it was going to make extraordinarily serious allegations
about a man whose identity would inevitably be uncovered - wrongly, as
we now know?'
George Entwistle replied: 'The film was not drawn to my attention before transmission.'
It was all too much for him and Mr Entwistle's stint as Director-General was over, having lasted less than two months.
Mr Entwistle, 50, took over as director general from Mark Thompson on September 17 on a much-reduced salary of £450,000.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the BBC Trust Lord Patten today vowed to fight on to restore confidence in the corporation in the wake of the crisis.
Lord Patten said Mr Entwistle - who dramatically resigned last night - had been 'destroyed' by the botched Newsnight investigation which wrongly implicated a senior former Tory in a child abuse scandal.
BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten, right, told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show that Mr Entwistle had been 'destroyed' by the botched Newsnight investigation
However he made clear that he would resist calls to follow suit, insisting his job was to ensure the BBC learned the lessons from what happened and from the inquiries under way into the Jimmy Savile child abuse scandal.
He told BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show: 'I think that I now have to make sure that, in the interests of the licence fee payer and the audience, that the BBC has a grip, that we get ourselves back onto the road.
'I think that my job is to make sure that we learn the lessons of those inquiries and that we restore confidence and trust in the BBC. If I don't do that then I am sure that people will let me know.'

Humphrys to his boss: 'You should go, shouldn't you?'
Outgoing BBC director-general George Entwistle was yesterday involved in an extraordinary exchange with veteran presenter John Humphrys on BBC's flagship Radio 4 Today news programme.
Here are excerpts from the
But you must have known what happened because a tweet was put out 24
hours beforehand telling the world that something was going to happen on
Newsnight that night that would reveal extraordinary things about child
abuse and that would involve a senior Tory figure from the Thatcher
years. You didn't see that tweet?
GE: I didn't see that tweet, John, I now understand...
JH: Why not?
GE: Well I, uh, I check Twitter sometimes at the end of the day or I don't check it at all.
JH: You have an enormous staff of people who are reporting in to you on all sorts of things – they didn't see this tweet that was going to set the world on fire?
GE: Now John, this tweet, I'm afraid, was not brought to my attention, so I found out about this film after it had gone out...
JH: Nobody said to you at any time or to anybody on your staff who would then report to you, "Look, we've got this Newsnight film going out – Newsnight should already light a few bulbs with you surely but – we've got this film going out that is going to make massively serious allegations about a former senior political..." Nobody even mentioned it?
GE: No.
JH: Isn't that extraordinary?
GE: Well, um, in the light of what happened here, I wish this had been referred to me, but it wasn't and I have to... I run the BBC on the basis that the right people are put in the right positions to make the right decisions. Now, in this case the film was not signed off in Newsnight, legal advice was involved, it was referred to the right places in news management and further referral upwards was made...
JH: So, when did you find out?
GE: I found out about the film the following day.
JH: The following day? You didn't see it that night when it was broadcast?
GE: No, I was out...
JH: But you have seen the film now I take it?
GE: Yes, I have seen the film now...
JH: When did you learn that there were doubts about [Mr Messham's] testimony?
GE: I only found out yesterday when I saw him make his apology to Lord McAlpine that there must be doubts about his testimony.
JH: And you didn't ask any questions during the course of the week? Because questions began to be raised very early on in the week as you know.
GE: No, John, I didn't.
JH: Do you not think that you should have?
GE: I um... I... there are... the number of things that there are going on in the BBC mean that when something is referred to me and brought to my attention I engage with it...
JH: We now know Newsnight has failed massively on one programme and it has failed massively on another programme and it's caused the BBC enormous damage. You, as you say, as Editor-in-Chief, are ultimately responsible. Therefore it leads to the obvious question: You should go, shouldn't you?
GE: No John, I've been appointed the director-general, the director-general isn't appointed only if things are going to go well, the director-general is appointed to deal with things which go well and things which go badly...
JH: Have you given any thought to shutting down Newsnight?
GE: No, I haven't John...

Wintervention: NERVO Heats Up Hard Rock
- Save
Anyone who spent Christmas in San Diego knows that Santa was extra nice this year, donning designer sunglasses and a pair of board shorts in the 75-degree sunshine. However strange that seemed to the rest of the world didn't matter to us because we are a people addicted to catching rays in every season.
Now that the lazy days of summer seem oh so far away, we've begun living in a world of pool-party fantasies, browsing through photo galleries of sunnier times past. To anyone who begged Santa to bring the pool party back to San Diego stat, we thank you. Whether it was Santa or the Gaslamp Gods, someone took note and is delivering the infamous Hard Rock Hotel Intervention in the form of a much-needed Wintervention.
On Sunday, Jan. 15th, Hard Rock Hotel San Diego is heating up the season with a Wintervention featuring Australian electronic stars NERVO. Though the good ol' days of summer were all about pool-party revelry atop of Float, this special edition takes over the Legends Ballroom, summer-play toys included. Inside of the 9,000 square-foot space, guests can show some skin along day beds, lounges, summer décor, and a circular bar centerpiece.
First step to sizzling is getting to know the sassy songwriter/musician/DJ sisters Mim and Liv Nervo. This power team have proven themselves in the industry and gained fame after touring with the world-famous Paul Oakenfold and Chuckie, and collaborating with Avicii, Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, Kaskade, Laidback Luke, Steve Aoki, Dadalife and John Dahlback. They've also penned hits for such artists as Ke$ha, Kylie Minogue, The Pussycat Dolls and Jennifer Hudson. The feisty sister-tag team is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, and electro-house is just the beginning of what makes them shine.
Bold and in-your-face, the ladies of NERVO will heat up Wintervention's walls with no holds barred. Just close your eyes and imagine you're one step closer to the summer series of weekends spent poolside. Until then, enjoy a little mid-January carousing in a hot hot mock-up. Bare some skin while you're at it, as bikinis and babes are encouraged per usual.
Winterventiontakes place from 2-7pm inside of Hard Rock Hotel's Legends Ballroom. Tickets are on sale now for $25. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit interventionsd.com.

Same again for England
Follow the NatWest Series on ecb.co.uk - click here for live scores, exclusive interviews, breaking news, features, match reports and photo galleries
The England selectors today announced a 14-man squad for the five-match NatWest Series against Australia beginning at Lord's on Friday June 29.
The squad is unchanged from the original one named to face West Indies in the most recent one-day international rubber, which saw England record a 2-0 triumph.
Ahead of the start of the NatWest Series, Ravi Bopara and Alastair Cook have been released to play for Essex against Australia on Tuesday June 26.
Steven Finn and Eoin Morgan will compete for Middlesex and Craig Kieswetter will play for Somerset in the Friends Life t20 fixtures taking place on the same day.
National Selector Geoff Miller said: "The series win against West Indies was pleasing and we are making steady progress in one-day cricket with a sixth straight series victory on home soil.
"Australia are a strong one-day side and I've no doubt this will be a challenging NatWest Series for us and we will need to play some very good cricket over the next three weeks.
"Playing against the number-one ranked one-day side in the world is an excellent test for us as we look to keep steadily improving ahead of next summer's ICC Champions Trophy and the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup."
