After all, movies are make believe
Published: Friday, April 9, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 9, 2004 at 12:00 a.m.
My favorite section to read in our paper is the letters to the editor. Both our paper and the other daily in our area have a wide selection of opinions of the people who live in Western North Carolina.
(Note to Bill Moss and Mitch Sandos: My wife makes me subscribe to the other paper.)
Lately, there has been a real flurry of opinions about the movie made by Mel Gibson, The Passion of the Christ.
Most people seem to find inspiration in the movie although quite a few have expressed some reservation about the amount of violence shown.
The last time I went to a theater was to see Star Wars with my teenage daughter, who is getting old enough to be a grandmother.
For this reason, I cannot personally given an opinion on this movie, but I have read enough letters to know that it must be a very realistic film, and for some people it is a very emotional experience.
The only problem that I have with this movie is that some people seem to be talking as if the movie is not just actors and a script, but is the real scenes from long ago.
You almost get the impression from some letters that Mel Gibson got a hold of a time machine and went back to film the event as it happened.
Some people seem to want to endow Mel with some kind of special feeling and power when he made this movie.
I hate to be a cynic, but from what I have seen of Hollywood, those folks' religion is spelled M-O-N-E-Y and that is why this movie was made.
It appears, from one letter, that a claim is now being made about a woman being cured of cancer after seeing this movie.
Let's hope that this is an isolated case and doesn't become a cult thing.
I would hate to think that people were passing up medical treatment for diseases and going to this movie instead.
On a different subject, there was a letter in the other daily which was then repeated in our paper a few days later.
The writer seems to dislike Democrats.
That's OK, since there are an equal number of people who dislike Republicans, which makes for some interesting letters.
The problem I have with this writer is that history has been rewritten to make the case for Democrats being lousy government officials.
In the first letter to the unmentionable other daily, the claim is laid that Roosevelt didn't have to go to war with Germany because they didn't attack us.
This is a weird thing to say since they declared war on us just after the Pearl Harbor attack.
They also had subs off our coast and started sinking our ships, especially oil tankers.
It was just being polite to return the favor and declare war on them.
The second letter from this writer left out this claim against Roosevelt, so I guess someone must have spoken to the writer about Hitler declaring war on us.
However the letter contained a section which said that Truman didn't have to go to war with North Korea, because they didn't attack us.
I hope some of our guys from the American infantry division -- I think it was the 24th who got rolled up in the initial attack across the 38th parallel -- are still around.
I would like for some of them to write letters about who did the attacking that day.
Do they still teach American history in our schools?

Hi all !!
I wonder how to change the width of my blog. I have seen some plug-ins that change it very nicely, but haven't found any. To me it looks kinda too narrow in the screen... for the rest I like it a lot.
So, what would be the "manual" way to do it??
I'm usin OceanMist (Which I love!)
I think it uses mainly CSS, and I have NO CLUE how to play around with that one... I can do a little HTML, but that's about it :(
Thanx for your help !!

I am filing this complaint because I am about to become a victim of this fraud.
I received a phone call on 2/12/2003 and was immediately told that I was approved for the credit card I had applied for and that they just needed to verify that I had an active checking account. (The reason this worked is because I had recently applied for a credit card).
Once I provided them with my Account Information, they proceded to my social security information (which I would not provide and this is when I be came suspicious. I told them that if they had my application then they would already have that information.
I was told that there was going to be a 200.00 fee which I agreed to while thinking that this was a credit card I was getting.
Near the end of the conversation the person through in that I understood that I was not getting a credit card and that I was getting a Merchant Account Card good for ordering from catalogues that they supplied. Upon the person telling me this I was transferred to an automated response system that told me an approval number. That number was 10904321.
After I that I was disconnected.
I have been trying for 5 days now to contact the customer service number that I was given and after 5 mins of listening to a recording, the recording stops and no one answers that phone for as long as you hold. I found out more information about this company at.

SUBMITTED: Friday, February 21, 2003POSTED: Friday, February 21, 2003
Thanks to this site I took action on closed my checking account and opened another one before NACS could get my money.
Now I worry about my credit report as another Complaintant has wrote "NACS put delinquent 90 on their credit". I am trying to repair my credit and this is going to tic me off if these A@@Hole@ mess up what I have been working the last year to repair.
I really want to know how this guys got my information.
The last thing that I applied for was a First Premier Bank Credit Card.
Did anyone else apply for this card and not get contacted by them but NACS instead.
Please write to the Florida State Attorney Generals office as I have. http://www.doacs.state.fl.us/~cs/ccform.html

Perhaps they're losing money behind the scenes, greed, or whatever. But they're flat-out scamming good members without any good reason, confiscating funds and getting away with it. But we as a web community can't keep letting ripoff companies like Fiverr.com get away with these types of actions.
I really don't believe I will get my money left in my account - even if I wait 45 - 90 day as I have heard that some people who have waited have logged in after the waiting period only to find their accounts wiped clean (or at best drastically reduced) while Fiverr can simply lie and state that there were no earnings left.

This makes me very upset!
I know they are an inside scam based on their actions towards me and similar stories around the web - and I want to do something about it! I am willing to ban together with others who are willing to take a strong stand and make some real noise against Fiverrs wrong doing. Otherwise they will continue to scam users out of untold amounts of money. Anyone interested in joining together to fight this as a team, please send me a message at - webcom[AT]nhgoa.com - with the words "Fiverr Scam" in the subject line.

Friday, 13 February 2009
Dhimmi Watch carries the story of a Halal pizza takeaway, originally from the Daily Star:
A pizza chain has sparked fury by opening a Muslim branch that refuses to serve pepperoni, ham or bacon.
Compared with the Wilders ban, this is trivial, but an accumulation of trivialities does matter. However, a distinction must be made between a private business and a government institution. Non-Muslims are not banned from the takeaway; they simply cannot get a pizza with pepperoni or ham there. But they can go elsewhere, either to another branch of Domino's or to another chain altogether. Not long ago I had supper at Reubens, a Kosher restaurant in Baker Street. Unsurprisingly, bacon was not on the menu. And if I were silly enough to eat at a vegetarian restaurant, I wouldn't be able to tuck into a lamb chop. Nothing is being imposed here, although Halal food laws would certainly be imposed if the country became Muslim.
The aspect of this story that is worrying is that there is sufficient demand for Halal pizzas for Domino's to deem it profitable to open such a takeaway. This means that there are a lot of Muslims in the area. The growth in Muslim numbers is worrying, even if the pizzas are not.

I carefully tried to follow each and every step for my "FREE" giftcard as "required". Many redirects later while filling out information that just seems to appear out of nowhere you forget what you were doing, where you are and how to get back.
Along the way and throughtout the process you encounter offers, and an implied easy almost done route to a "FREE" giftcard, only to more of the same filling out trial offers that must be cancelled or they will charge you for the full amount! Who can remember at this point who, how or when to cancel!
Fortunately, I kept track as I went along well beyond anything close to a resonable requirement for a "FREE" offer that I "WON". This was due to luck and my past stupid wasted time cancelling similar offers from other rip-offs. I was in a position to follow this "dream" of actually winning something to the end. The risk ...a lot of time and probably lots of spam on my "junk e-mail".
I am telling my wife to kick me in the glutes maximus as hard as she can if I ever go for the cancel later offers or any "FREE" stuff requiring tedious forms or credit card information!!!!!

Skip to comments.Former ATF Agent Pleads Guilty (to stealing money, planting drugs and framing innocent people.)
Posted on 05/06/2010 9:31:49 PM PDT by The Magical Mischief Tour
Tulsa, OK - A Tulsa federal agent pleads guilty. He admits to stealing money, planting drugs and framing innocent people. His arrest is part of a larger investigation into possible corruption within the Tulsa Police Department.
34-year-old Brandon McFadden confessed to the crimes as part of a plea deal with the US Attorney's office. McFadden will also be a witness for the prosecution in other cases against law enforcement officers.
Former ATF Agent Brandon McFadden finally has his day in Tulsa Federal Court and pleads guilty to a host of shocking charges including the possession and conspiracy to distribute drugs, possession of a firearm during drug trafficking, and money laundering.
Neal Kirkpatrick is McFadden's attorney.
"He was involved for a couple of years in some dealings with TPD and he wanted to be able to look his children in the face and this is the first step," Kirkpatrick says.
Prosecutors say McFadden stole money, planted drugs and framed innocent people partly because of greed, a clear abuse of both his power as a federal agent and an abuse of the public trust.
"I would agree with that. In his confession, he asked for a special enhancement for abusing his position of trust and he will," explains US Attorney Jane Duke, the prosecuting attorney in the case.
McFadden's arrest is part of a larger investigation into possible corruption in the Tulsa Police Department and at least one TPD officer will also face trial.
In the meantime, several convictions have already been thrown out and innocent suspects freed because of tainted or fabricated evidence and witnesses, like Brandon McFadden, who just plain lied under oath.
McFadden is out on bond under house arrest until his sentencing hearing on July 28.
Needs repeating!
Those FLET's—federal law enforcement types—who don't have enough of it to make it into the FBI or Secret Service, get filtered down to the ATF
Mexico here we come...
or the BATFE. Just call them F-Troop, you'll be their best friend.
Is it really unexpected?
Seems not.
Does that mean we can re-visit the OC bombing ?
He pleaded guilty so there's no question of guilt. Once he's been used to take down the rest of his corrupt brothers in harm, hang him.
You betray one innocent while wearing a badge, you should forfeit your life.
Just a small window into corruption into most all Federal and State corruption. If only we had the capability to video the activities of these folks. Actually - if we had that capability, way too many would lose confidence in our so called law enforcement system which is just as well.
Sorry, but it seems that today, most of our so called law enforcement officers are either corrupt or lenient enough that they would never disclose the antics of other unlawful officers. Yeah, that really gives me confidence in law and order....
With our muslim president?
I agree. ATF has been a rogue agency for at least the last threedecades. I had friends with FFL's back in the 70's who gave them up because of the harrassment of this agency.
ATF seems to be anti-gun with a passion and with questionable ethics.
Brandon McFadden says he, along with others, put $250,000 worth of meth on Tulsa's streets.
the infowarrior
You should check out the police corruption in Providence RI,
apparently running cocaine and having sex in the park while on duty were fairly regular events for awhile there.
Federal investigators looking into police corruption have used wiretaps to intercept the conversations of various individuals, including at least one Tulsa police officer who is part of a federal grand jury investigation, his attorney says.
The investigators have indicated that wiretaps were used last year to listen to phone calls involving Officer Jeff Henderson, 37, and other individuals, said Chad A. Greer, Henderson's attorney.
Henderson and Brandon McFadden, 33, a former agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, have been implicated in an alleged fabricated drug buy. That buy involved Larita Annette Barnes, 33, and her father, Larry Wayne Barnes Sr., 59, who were convicted and sent to federal prison in 2008
Henderson was questioned about an allegation from the grand jury indictment that stated he and McFadden planted marijuana on a drug dealer and only turned in $10,100 of $60,000 taken from the drug dealer.
That picture has Reno 911 written all over it......:o)
Seems to be a common problem in most democrat controlled cities.
This guy needs to be in jail.
You betray one innocent while wearing a badge, you should forfeit your life.
I agree. If they want a plea deal, let them hang with a new rope.
Or, we could have some perspective and understand that the reason this sort of story is big news is because it is the exception, not the rule.
I tell ya what, I'll go head to head with you and will match any story you can find about drunk commercial pilots. I'll match it will 20 stories about misconduct and criminal behavior by cops.
I'll happily show you wrong, your exception, not the rule statement...
Perhaps I should have made another analogy. How many commercial pilots make mistakes in the cockpit? How many get on their computers and read while they're supposed to be piloting the aircraft? How many pilots have boinked a flight attendant in the cockpit? How many have dozed off in flight? How many pilots have landed at the wrong airport? How many pilots have crashed planes due to "pilot error?
Don't you see? The blame game doesn't work. We probably agree that there are "bad apples" in all professions. Then, you have to take into account the nature of the job. Cops have frequent confrontations with people who are in the midst of trouble, either as a victim of crime or as a perpetrator. Take your job and try to picture yourself on every flight having to deal with an unruly passenger, one who hasn't been checked for weapons. Wouldn't that be a fun job?
As I've said in many other posts, cops are people. They come from the human race. They make mistakes. Some are criminals. Some are unsuited for the job. Some are incompetent. Same is true for pilots.
re: several convictions have already been thrown out and innocent suspects freed
But you can never restore the sense of trust in the system that is lost when an innocent person is dragged through this process. It's great they've been exonerated, but that's only a small part of the price they've already paid for a crime they did not commit.
Sadly most professional organizations, or I should say organizations of professionals, frequently turn out to be quite lacking when it comes to policing their own.
Cheer up Skippy, ya can always get a cop job in S Florida!
There are commercial pilots who take naps during flights. There are also pilots who scored some nookie when they are supposed to be working.
There are also badge groupies. Cooping (sleeping on duty) is a very old piece of police slang. My rather limited emergency services experiences include four officers who were fired for drunkeness on duty, theft of public funds, theft of a gun out of evidence, and drunkenness during dereliction of duty when a tour commander decided it was more fun to hang out in the next town over.
They are the exception, but they operate under the force of the authority of The United States. They are able to wield more power than some armies. The men in Tulsa used their positions as heavily armed, government officials to commit extrortion, armed robbery, and to distribute illegal drugs. If you can find a group of airline pilots who used their jobs at United or Delta to commit extortion, armed robbery, and to distribute illegal drugs, you'll have the beginnings of an issue. But those pilots do not have machine guns and power of arrest as part of their job descriptions.
Yeah, that's a real shock. BATFags acting like BATFags.
ATF IS THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL IN FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. When our city has them along on investigations....total jokes. They are shunned in Little Rock.
No. This guy needs to be fed to the hogs in a very messy public manner, and the tape needs to be narrated by non other than a Henry Bowman.
You throw me in prison on false charges, when I get out, he'd be lucky to have any relatives this side of the dirt.
Hang him.
Washington DC is corruption central, so why shouldn't it's agents nationwide be corrupt??
You have a LOT to learn. Keep your innocence with your head in the sand.
With our globalist elite-controlled puppet? I don't think so...
"His arrest is part of a larger investigation into possible corruption within the Tulsa Police Department. 34-year-old Brandon McFadden confessed to the crimes as part of a plea deal with the US Attorney's office. McFadden will also be a witness for the prosecution in other cases against law enforcement officers."
And just how credible will this guy be as a snitch?
In the meantime, several convictions have already been thrown out and innocent suspects freed because of tainted or fabricated evidence and witnesses, like Brandon McFadden, who just plain lied under oath.
What do you call a cop that looks the other way when he sees a fellow cop break the law they are sworn to enforce?
There ya go, now you can go back to discussin airline pilots or whatever.
He's a pig-eyed sack of shit. Color me surprised.
I think they should all get what's coming to them.
My point is that they do the same stupid things we all do. Now why would that be? Hmmmmmm let me think...Oh, because they're human.
But that's not, apparently, enough of a point for y'all, so let's try to look at it another way:
In East Germany, before the fall of the Berlin wall, in the old USSR, in Venezuela, do you think the TV and newspapers blast out breathless news stories about the abuses of cops? I don't think so. Why, because everybody already knows the cops are dirty. Everybody knows that they're thugs, Everybody expects to (and do) get shaken down. NO BIG NEWS
But here in our good ol' USA, it's news because it' outside of what we expect. It's outside of most folks personal experience. THAT'S MY POINT I'm not saying that cops don't do the kind of stuff they're accused of; I'm saying of course they do. But, ask yourselves What is the reason it makes "news"?
If you think it's because all cops are corrupt; because all cops do it (whatever "it" is), then you have to assume that all commercial pilots take naps, get nookie in the cockpit, land on the wrong runway, kill masses of people when they make mistakes, etc.
See guys, it's an exercise in logic not a body count.
My head isn't in the sand. In my career, I sent two cops to prison and fired a bunch.. Bad cops stayed far away from me because they knew I'd catch them. Now I know that some of you have had a bad cop experience. My point is this is America, we have the right to raise holy hell about bad cops. Just don't paint all the good ones with the same brush. Yes, cops have the authority, given them by the people, to take away someone's life, to take away their liberty, but most don't abuse that authority.
IMHO, there are whole organizations that are corrupt. BATFE is one. We should go after them with a vengeance. But to say or imply that a corrupt organization is the norm is trying to live your lives with "Half your brain tied behind your back". And you're no Rush Limbaugh. END
general population
So, how do you tell them apart when you are a joe pulled over for a traffic stop or whatever)? When they declare Prob Cause and search, lo and behld, you learn for the first time you are a druggie?
If cops wore say, orange badges that flashed and said "bad cop", I guess we could know.
Anyone who swears and oath of office and violates it should be publicly made spectacle of, and there should be specific mandatory sentences for such "officers" of the US Constitution and respective governmental departments they represent.
I like you, was known in my carreer as hell on wheels for those that did not stand firmly on ethical behaviors and professional performance of duty. Big deal, we are both (apparenlty) put out to pasture.
Thanks for your service
What I found in my career, cops go where there is crime. You don't see them in "nice" neighborhoods, you see them where there is a pretty good probability that something nefarious is going on. You very seldom see cops in churches, nursery schools and rose gardens. So, I guess I'd say, if you don't want to slip, don't go where it's slippery. OTOH, if you want to avoid bad cops proactively, you need to be involved with the local government, the press and police leadership to make sure they are all doing their job.
In past posts, I've posited that it's really important to make your concerns known to police bosses. Make sure that they know what's going on with their subordinates; and in the process, find out if the leadership is "looking the other way" or even actively encouraging the abuse of their authority and the rule of law. If you aren't satisfied with the outcome of this go to the elected officials in your area. Find out if they are part of the problem or of the solution. If they're part of the problem, go to the state attorney general with specific facts and make a formal complaint, and so on.
I'm not saying it's an easy road to take, but it's better than living with corrupt, abusive law enforcement officers.
Just the other day, I was in a discussion about people bringing out cameras and recording LEO's as they operated. I believe that law enforcement has nothing to fear from the public recording their actions.
As I told my men & women, "Do your job like your mother was looking over your shoulder and make her proud of you."
I'm not opposed to publicly exposing and severely punishing bad police behavior, what I object to is the inference that because some cops are dirty, all cops are dirty.
I never said I was Rush Limbaugh. Stop circling the wagons.
An Open Letter to Bill Bennett
Wall Street Journal, April 1990
by Milton Friedman
Illegality creates obscene profits that finance the murderous tactics of the drug lords; illegality leads to the corruption of law enforcement officials; illegality monopolizes the efforts of honest law forces so that they are starved for resources to fight the simpler crimes of robbery, theft and assault.
Drugs are a tragedy for addicts. But criminalizing their use converts that tragedy into a disaster for society, for users and non-users alike. Our experience with the prohibition of drugs is a replay of our experience with the prohibition of alcoholic beverages.
Ol' Cop;
Agreed. Back to the conundrum-just how do you KNOW which one?
Logic dictates that a law-abiding citzen assumes the worst, acts most professional and respectful, but budges not an inch in dealing with any LEO or any for that matter.
Assertiveness, knowing your rights and the basics of the law and being confident are requirements.
POint in fact-was "interviewed" by a SHP and SD recently on a back road-they stopped me while looking for a runaway etc.
Apparently ran my plates and during the "interview" the SHP asked me "when I was going to tell him whether I was carrying"? I replied, "When you ask me if I am-according to MO state code. Are you asking? If yes, I am indeed carrying, if not, none of your business per 571" He smiled and replied "I like that-you know the law and are willing to make me follow it".
We had a nice discussion after that. He asked me to keep an eye out for a blue such and such vehicle, a male subject with a beard and a red-haired teenage female (I was driving a simliar colored vehicle and indeed, wearing a short beard).
I do not go where I know trouble may be-but nevertheless, I have every legal and moral right to go anywhere I am willing to venture-it called freedom. If by virtue of being somewhere "slippery" means I subject myself myself to closer LEO scrutiny, well, I can swim. My record and behavior stands for itself.

Pentagon grounds entire F-35 fleetFebruary 23,2013
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon on Friday grounded its fleet of F-35 fighter jets after discovering a cracked engine blade in one plane.
The problem was discovered during what the Pentagon called a routine inspection at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., of an F-35A, the Air Force version of the sleek new plane. The Navy and the Marine Corps are buying other versions of the F-35, which is intended to replace older fighters like the Air Force F-16 and the Navy F/A-18.
All versions — a total of 51 planes — were grounded Friday pending a more in-depth evaluation of the problem discovered at Edwards. None of the planes have been fielded for combat operations; all are undergoing testing.
In a brief written statement, the Pentagon said it is too early to know the full impact of the newly discovered problem.
The F-35 is the Pentagon's most expensive weapons program at a total estimated cost of nearly $400 billion. The Pentagon envisions buying more than 2,400 F-35s, but some members of Congress are balking at the price tag.
Friday's suspension of flight operations will remain in effect until an investigation of the problem's root cause is determined.
The Pentagon said the engine in which the problem was discovered is being shipped to a Pratt & Whitney facility in Connecticut for more thorough evaluation.MORE IN This Just InBERLIN Free trade talks between the European Union and the United States have failed, Germanys...

Oracle-specific test_long_string backends regression test has a bug

|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:

|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
In the process of tracking down an Oracle CLOB encoding issue (to be created in another ticket once I get my head around it), I think I've found a bug in the test_long_string regression test. Since this is an Oracle-specific test I am guessing it doesn't get exercised that often.
The test writes a long string to the database then reads it to ensure there are no round-trip encoding issues. The test appears to drop the table before the read happens. You can see this bug by changing the xrange(4000) portion of the test to xrange(40).
====================================================================== ERROR: test_long_string (regressiontests.backends.tests.LongString) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/stvsmth/code/workspaces/django-trunk/tests/regressiontests/backends/tests.py", line 38, in test_long_string self.assertEquals(long_str, row[0].read()) DatabaseError: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
It looks like the read is lazy, so the drop table command needs to happen after the read:
36 row = c.fetchone() 37 c.execute('DROP TABLE ltext') 38 self.assertEquals(long_str, row[0].read())
The attached patch makes this simple change.

24-70/f2.8 vs 24-120/f4 on a D700?
I am looking for some input on the 24-120/f4. I've been trying to decide between this lens and the 24-70/f2.8. The extra reach, VR, and 25% less price pretty much point me here. I do like to shoot indoor with no flash, but I have a 50/f1.8 and will probably add a fast 85 at some point. I'm thinking the 24-120 and the other two lenses will make for a pretty decent kit with my D700.

This has been thrashed about quite a bit here at various times. Just type "24-120 vs 24-70" in the search box at the top right corner of a Nikonians page, and you will find enough reading material to keep you busy until the lenses have been replaced!
In any event, I think you have already answered your own question: the capabilities and features of the 24-120 better match what you want and want to spend. The lenses that you mention will make a nice kit.
The one option you may want to consider, if you think you need f/2.8 in a medium zoom, is the new Tamron 24-70 f/2.8 with VC (vibration control). It seems to be getting decent reviews and favorable comparisons to the Nikon, is somewhat less expensive and has VC.

If it's any help, through some weird timing last year I acquired both lenses in the same week. I had been lusting after the 24-70 for about a year and just not able to find a good used copy or pull the trigger on a new copy. I finally decided that the 24-120 would suffice for the near future and bought one. Four days later a used 24-70 came to me when a studio folded up and sold all their gear.
I thought I would hold them both for a while and sell the one I used the least sometime later, well it's been over a year and I still have both. I seem to use the 24-120 when I'm only carrying one lens and body, it's my D700/D3x walk around lens. The 24-70 seems to be in my kit when I am shooting low light, get a half hour with a ballerina in a dungeon of a practice studio then it's all 1.2/1.4/1.8 primes and the 24-70/70-200. I also use the 24-70 when I hike somewhere to shoot landscapes.
They are different tools and I will probably wind up keeping both, until I'm lusting after something else that will require me to free up some cash. The 28-300 may knock the 24-120 out of my kit some time in the future. But for now I'm quite happy shooting the 24-120 as a walk around and the 24-70 in the dark with my primes.
Happy shooting,
Will shoot for fame...fun...food... a heck I'll shoot anytime anywhere.

I had the 24-120mm f/4 AFS VR for about three years and have often lusted after the 24-70mm f/2.8 AFS. The 24-120 is on my camera for the majority of what I do.
A few months ago I was in a position to buy "one" pro lens. I settled on the 35mm f/1.4 AFS. During that quest/search/deliberation, I again rented a 24-70mm f/2.8 - considering how I use my lenses, the 24-70 was a very viable alternative to the 35mm. There are many, many reasons why the 24-70 is a legend. I almost had one, but weight is now part of my buying criteria - along with how I can distribute it in my kit. Given all those considerations, I went with my original choice, the 35mm f/1.4, and added the 85mm f/1.8 AFS at that time.
In the final analysis, I kept the lighter lens and traded that lightness for the robust build of the f/2.8. So far under some significant use, I haven't challenged the build quality of the f/4 at all. The f/4 also gives me VR which I use constantly. I naturally loose one f/stop, but only one. The distortion is better on the f/2.8, but it's perfectly manageable on the f/4 with Lightroom. At ISO3200 with my D700, I often shoot indoors without strobe with that lens. The f/4 maximum aperture also buys me some inherent DOF, which is generally proving to be a plus - for razor thin DOF, I now use the 85mm f/1.8. I really like the 24-120mm f/4 AFS lens. It gives me so much. I still lust after the 24-70mm f/2.8 AFS, but I now know that my photography hasn't suffered from any of the tradeoffs, and generally I'm much better off because of the VR feature on the f/4.
It's still, ISO, aperture and shutter-speed, right?

I've had the 24-70 for quite a while and acquired the 24-120 last spring in an effort to "lighten the load." Given the supert high ISO performance of the cufrrent crop of cameras, about the only time I carry the 24-70 is when I need to shoot at f/2.8 — such as off-Broadway theatre, which is usually poorly lit.
The 24-120 f/4 and the 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 have become my go-to glass.

Try to decide what factors are important to you. For me, I wanted a "walk-around" lens that would be handy for multiple uses and traveling. So, I decided on the 24-120mm f4. I'm still very happy with the lens and the VR along with excellent high ISO performance of the D700 makes the slower aperture a non-issue for me. The distortion, most noticeable under 28mm is easily corrected in pp--and then, only needed with certain subjects and compositions. I use it without hesitation on all my jobs.

The 24-120 is lighter as somewhat more versatile, but has more plastic. Its AF is fast enough for action / sports but not quite as fast as the 24-70. I personally like more compact and well made lenses, weight is a smaller consideration. The thing is neither is really compact, one has a large diameter, that is bigger than most 77mm lenses and the other is longer than most 105mm lenses.
At the end of the day I sold both of those lenses and just picked up a Nikon 28-105 f3.5-4.5D lens that is compact, sharp and inexpensive. Other have gone for the 24-85mm f3.5-4.5G AFS lens. Just depends on your own preferences, all will take good pictures. You just have to decide on cost, size, AF speed and aperture that you will use most of the time. The 24-70 f2.8 you can get great results wide open, the 24-120, pretty good results wide open at f4 and the other lenses are normally shot at f5.6.

This is a competence project to investigate new testing strategies for embedded software.
The potential customers are US electronic instrument manufactures including Fluke, HP and Intel.
The objective of this project is to develop efficient new testing strategies for devices following a model outside the usual non-software-embedded framework using the concept of Expectation Maximization (EM). The EM approach is attractive because it would provide an efficient method for extending HELP, or other testing tools, to the more complex device model.

Top elementary teachers put focus on kids' needs
Published: Thursday, August 13, 2009 at 11:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, August 13, 2009 at 11:31 a.m.
HOUMA Kathleen Abboud, Jennifer Porche and Tara Portier all show a common characteristic: They do all they can to help their students achieve.
To those who know them, it comes as no surprise that they were named finalists in Terrebonnes elementary teacher-of-the-year contest.
The three, along with dozens of their peers, were honored at an April ceremony that named the top teacher from each school in the parish. School-level winners were chosen by their peers.
A committee of local educators and community members then picked a top teacher at the elementary, middle-and-junior-high, and high-school levels for the parishwide honor.
Abboud, who was selected as Terrebonnes Elementary Teacher of the Year, said she didnt choose to be a teacher; she was born one.
It was just something I did, she said. It was a part of me.
Portier said she knew she wanted to be a teacher as a child. Her mother cleaned Little Caillou and Boudreaux Canal elementary schools during the summer, and Portier often played teacher in the empty classrooms. Years later, she landed her first job at Boudreaux Canal, teaching first grade in the same classroom she once pretended to lead.
Porche, who teaches fourth-grade at Boudreaux Canal, said her familys influence help propel her toward a teaching career. From her grandmothers school stories to growing up alongside a dyslexic brother, Porche said these experiences led her to do everything she can to reach students.
I dont like to see any child struggling, said the nine-year teaching veteran.
This desire pushed Porche to pursue a dual diploma in elementary and special education.
Even with two degrees, Porche said, the children in her classroom have been some of her best teachers.
You have to get to know them to know their needs, she said. Theyve taught me a lot about how different and unique every little persons life is.
Abboud, who has taught for more than 15 years, said her students at Southdown Elementary in Houma have taught her to be thankful for even the little things in life. Simple compliments and positive reinforcement can go a long way, she said, to encouraging a successful student.
Were all chasing the big things out there in the world, Abboud said. But it all comes back to caring and love. Their hearts are so open.
Porche said connecting with students is the key to keeping them interested in learning. Just as many businesses follow the motto The customer is always right, teachers must reach children in a way that engages them.
She said more money for successful programs would be helpful.
We find these wonderful tools, and sometimes we dont have the funds, Porche said.
Portier, now at Mulberry Elementary in Houma, has worked directly with many of these tools. During her nine years of teaching, Portier has written grants that brought many high-tech resources to her school. She also worked as part of a team to revamp the states guidelines for fourth-grade education.
The following year, Portier said, the new program was put to use in her science class and her students science scores were the highest in Terrebonne.
Abboud said one challenge is to find a way to make education systems accountable without oversimplification. She said high-stakes testing standardized tests like the LEAP should be only part of the system.
We have to have accountability, Abboud said. Let testing be a part of it, but ... theres no one-size-fits everybody in education.
Abboud, Porche and Portier will be honored next week along with the middle-junior-high, high-school and inspirational Teacher of the Year winners.
Theyll be the guests of honor at the Academic Excellence Teacher Awards, held annually by the Terrebonne Foundation for Academic Excellence. The ceremony runs from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Aug. 20 at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center, 346 Civic Center Blvd.
Tickets, $25 each, may be purchased at the downtown Houma Whitney National Bank, 7910 Main St., and The Couriers offices, 3030
Barrow St.

Thermally Activated Composite with Two-Way and Multi-Shape Memory Effects
AbstractThe use of shape memory polymer composites is growing rapidly in smart structure applications. In this work, an active asymmetric composite called "controlled behavior composite material (CBCM)" is used as shape memory polymer composite. The programming and the corresponding initial fixity of the composite structure is obtained during a bending test, by heating CBCM above thermal glass transition temperature of the used Epoxy polymer. The shape memory properties of these composites are investigated by a bending test. Three types of recoveries are conducted, two classical recovery tests: unconstrained recovery and constrained recovery, and a new test of partial recovery under load. During recovery, high recovery displacement and force are produced that enables the composite to perform strong two-way actuations along with multi-shape memory effect. The recovery force confirms full recovery with two-way actuation even under a high load. This unique property of CBCM is characterized by the recovered mechanical work.

I found that Talent6.com was explained rather well by the representative and pretty much all of the details were laid out. One of the things I learned was that a lot of people don't realize that you have to take a proactive approach to the service and spend some time marketing yourself.
Complaints for Talent6.com
1) They come off as a Talent Agency but they are not. They are in fact a Talent database and you have to search for work yourself.
2) Talent6.com does gurantee you will get an offer in 90 days, but like me a lot people can't wait 90 days
3) While I did figure out rather quickly Talent6.com was not a job for hire and I decided to take part since it sounded good to me, I don't like the job board advertising.
Overall I happy with the service but do not like the marketing.

#1 UPDATE Employee
Talent6.com is a Major Talent Venue Casting for L.A. Ink & Biggest Loser
AUTHOR: Richard Porter - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 06, 2009POSTED: Thursday, August 06, 2009
I am pleased that you said you liked Talent6.com overall and definitely apologize for the marketing techniques. Sometimes our marketing firms we contract with do not always follow the strict guidelines laid out by Talent6.
We are a major talent venue and have recently worked with L.A. Ink and The Biggest Loser among many others. Just simply do a Google for "Talent6 & LA Ink" or "Talent6 & Biggest Loser". I can assure you that if we were anything other than legit, they would not rely on us in such a critical manner. Same for ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW and MTV whom our members have privileged access to their casting calls.
Now to address the complaints here and other places. Talent6.com has had over 1.3 million members sign up over the past 4 years. I did an exhaustive search and found about two dozen online complaints posted by 16 unique people over a four year span.
The usual online complaint ratio to actual complaints, industry wide is about 129:1 meaning 1 online complaint for ever 129 issues. Given those numbers one could deduce that 129 X 16 or 2064 complaints in four years out of more than 1.3 million.
That is about a 99.998% customer satisfaction. No industry is 100% and Talent6.com is very proud of its high satisfaction rating.
Most of the complaints come from people that simply do not understand that Talent6 is not a talent agency, we are a talent venue that provides online access to tens of thousands of casting calls and casting directors.
If you take a proactive approach and use the tools and instructional videos provided, you will be successful. This is the basis of our 90 day guarantee. If you are not contacted in 90 days you can get your money back. Plain and simple.
We have thousands of members that have been with us for years and look forward to you finding success with Talent6.com
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Check out the all new TIMOTHY SYKES - rebranded and recoded ground up on wordpress mu.

Very nice pallian. Clean and tight. Did you use domain mapping for the MU blog sites? For ShortStocking, what script did you use for the lightbox effect on the youtube video? Congratulations :-)
Thanks! For shortstocking ajax, I used this nifty little code: http://stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow/
Thanks pallian. Great job!
how do you install wordpress without having it show http://timothysykes.com/wordpress?
msgmkr, even with a regular WordPress, you can create a subdirectory called anything you want and upload your WordPress there.
wordpress was installed in the root in this case... but you can also install wordpress in any subdirectory and then move it to the roote: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site
Pallian, the site looks GREAT! Do you know how I might go about using that lightwindow to open up the full size versions of pics on my blog?
Looking great with Google Chrome
Hey jongraphs - to install lightwindow to your blog, just insert the js calls in the header.php and make sure that there are no plugins using jQuery conflicting with lightwindow javascript.
It can take a bit of trial and error - but it can be done.
Thanks, Pallian
There is an awful lot going on and I find it hard to distinguish the ads from the content, or is that intentional?
I like it a lot. Really good job!
A complete and nice site!!! Awsome
may I ask which plugin you use for your Register?
For http://timothysykes.com- since it is wordpress mu, no plugin was used.
For http://timalerts.com I used WP-MEMBER
It is very nice, i like it.
Pallian, i have a question, in the up right corner on your home page you have "register", "log in". How did you get the "register" icon there, i only have "log in " on my site, no "register" http://www.tipishop.com/wordpress
<?php wp_register(); ?>
Hi Pallian, thanks for the reply and selfless share:
I still have some question about the the login thing, Why would you pay for WP-MEMBER since WP-MU have this login already? Whats the difference between WP-MU and the WP? Which one is better?
oh - sorry, i was not clear before. I use wp-member because in timalerts.com, we're charging people. for example, look at this page: http://timalerts.com/wp-login.php?action=register
See the payment option? That is made possible by wp-member.
And as for wordpress mu, we didn't need a payment plan there - so we just used the default login and added a spam filter - as seen here: http://timothysykes.com/wp-signup.php
The only reason ppl sign up on thr wordpress-mu site is to talk in the forums... which again is a hack job. The forums are actually a free php based forum from pun-bb - and it was hacked up to connect to wordpress.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Lloyd isn't catching any deep passes in John Fox's conservative, run-oriented offense, and he's letting his quarterback and his coaches know just how he feels about that.
Kyle Orton and offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said Lloyd has asked to be more involved in the offense even as opponents roll a safety over the top to bracket him in double-coverage.
A year after leading the league with 1,448 yards receiving, Lloyd said he thinks he's being underused by the Denver Broncos.
He had 17 catches of 25 or more yards last year and none of his 10 catches so far this season have gone for more than 20 yards.
Orton said Lloyd is drawing lots of attention from defenses and Fox said Lloyd has been hurt.

Most importantly, for the Medical-related students: YOUR DEGREE AND CREDITS WILL NOT TRANSFER! I don't care what they implied; the degree you receive from Miller Motte is not accepted as part of any other academic program. It is not a stepping stone to a Bachelor's or even an Associate's. If you want to get either of those degrees (or higher) you will have to start all over again at another school. It is not an Associate's degree. It is an Associates in Applied Sciences. There are only about two area schools that will accept a few of the credits from Miller Motte, and neither of them are particularly impressive or worth taking so many steps just to get an Associate's.
The staff has what seems like a 400% turnover rate. Sometimes the teachers would even switch in the middle of semesters, and spots were usually filled by friend-of-friends of other staff members who were assigned subjects to teach at random. The equipment rarely worked and they were very fond of keeping on obviously incompetent teachers.
Wake Tech is not that much further away, and you can get an actual Associate's degree and become an actual certified Medical Assistant for an incredible fraction of the price, plus you will have their resources, staff, and a school with a good reputation behind you. I really cannot think of a single reason someone should go to Miller Motte.

Another former city councillor wants a shot Toronto's top job.
Ex North York rep Norm Gardner registered to run for mayor on Thursday.
Gardner has held seats on North York council , Toronto city council and on the Toronto Police Service Board.
Gardner made headlines in 1992, when he shot a man trying to rob his bakery. He was vice chair of the police board at the time. Gardner was never charged.
He told reporters at City Hall Thursday that "the (Rob) Ford situation has been a strong motivator" for his return to politics.
Gardner describes himself as a "small l liberal, small c conservative", "fiscally responsible, but at the same time I realize that we have to have decent social programs".
As of Thursday night, 24 people had registered to run for mayor. Among them, Rob Ford and ex-Scarborough councillor David Soknacki. TTC Chair Karen Stintz has declared her intention to run for mayor but hasn't yet filed her paperwork.

Description (last modified by Alex)
Hi All,
I tried to import a 3.2GB xml file, partly to see if Django loads the whole file into memory when it's importing and partly to see how large pg client transactions work. Whichever caused the problem, I have a fair idea that even thought the machine has 4GB of memory, the process ran out of memory.
I'd expect a MemoryError if that were the case, what I actually got was:
File "django/core/management/__init__.py", line 362, in execute_manager utility.execute() File "/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 303, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "django/core/management/base.py", line 195, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File "django/core/management/base.py", line 222, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 200, in handle transaction.leave_transaction_management() File "django/db/transaction.py", line 74, in leave_transaction_management raise TransactionManagementError("This code isn't under transaction management") django.db.transaction.TransactionManagementError: This code isn't under transaction management

For those looking to dig into this, it's important to identify whether this is a database issue (i.e., the database runs out of memory if you try to do a 3GB transaction) or a Django issue (i.e., a problem with our wrapper loading the data file into memory).
Its also important to note the analog with #5423 - that ticket deals with making dumpdata behave as an iterator. I'm not marking this as a dupe because the solution won't necessarily be the same, but it's worth noting if someone wants to tackle both problems.

I have seen the documentation relating to extending Edit Flow, but I think it would be quite practical if there were a few more options out of the box regarding notifications. For example,
- Specifying a different address for general notifications to be sent to.
- Specifying that notifications should be sent regarding only the actions of certain role holders
