As far as digital store initiatives go, iron-clad success stories are notoriously hard to come by. Mobile point-of-service (mPOS) is one of the few digital store technologies that has garnered the attention and investment dollars of retail executives—but the return on investment has been nonetheless elusive. Despite large-scale deployments by a number of leading players (including Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, and Bloomingdales, among others), key questions such as "will this drive incremental revenue?" and "which use cases deliver the most customer and retailer value?" remain. Our newly published report "The Business Case For mPOS Is Associate Enablement" answers these questions and addresses common opportunities and challenges for eBusiness leaders rolling out an mPOS program. In the report, we find that:

Yesterday Manhattan Associates announced the acquisition of mobile point of service (mPOS) provider GlobalBay Technologies. A few years ago, it might seem odd that a warehouse and order management company would be interested in playing a significant role in the experience of customers and associates on the sales floor. However as we recently covered in our Omnichannel Order Management Wave, the role of distributed order management has been elevated and is now key to meeting customer's rising expectations. Along with orchestrating orders across all inventory locations, omnichannel order management systems (OMS) are already taking orders in the call center, handling fraud management, and providing mobile utilities for associates to fulfill orders from stores. Moving into the point of service (POS) space with an mPOS solution is a logical evolution for Manhattan Associates since it combines enterprise inventory visibility, order management, and order capture all under one roof. In addition this acquisition provides a stronger differentiator from their largest competitor IBM, who exited the legacy POS market in 2012.
So what does this mean for POS moving forward? Three distinct solutions are now possible, including:

add option (checkbox) for created link: rel="nofollow" , please
Hi @ybikov, our mission with this is to keep it as feature lite as possible since many people don't need that checkbox and may even be confused by it. Instead, we have included a lot of hooks in the code to let you control that sort of thing and possibly even code your own checkbox (though i haven't tried doing that through hooks so i'm not sure if it might need some patches to make that work).
If you'd like all the links to be rel="nofollow" then you can simply use the 'sp_template_image-widget_widget' filter (or even make an 'image-widget' folder in your theme) to make your own version of the views/widget.php file where rel='nofollow' is baked in.
I'm open to other suggestions so long as most users don't have to be faced with superfluous UI. If you'd like other filters in the code, that is up for debate as well.

AbstractThis paper reviews the applications of micro/nanoparticles in microfluidics device fabrication and analytical processing. In general, researchers have focused on two properties of particles—electric behavior and magnetic behavior. The applications of micro/nanoparticles could be summarized on the chip fabrication level and on the processing level. In the fabrication of microfluidic chips (chip fabrication level), particles are good additives in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to prepare conductive or magnetic composites which have wide applications in sensors, valves and actuators. On the other hand, particles could be manipulated according to their electric and magnetic properties under external electric and magnetic fields when they are travelling in microchannels (processing level). Researchers have made a great progress in preparing modified PDMS and investigating the behaviors of particles in microchannels. This article attempts to present a discussion on the basis of particles applications in microfluidics.

Goodbye to Perth and on to the next adventure!
... met some lovely lovely people in Perth, mainly through Herbie friends- Tara, Tagan, Rebecca and Kaye- beautiful people who deserve all the success and happiness coming to them. We are looking forward to spending more time with them as our business grows and we qualify for more training events and holidays.
New Car!! My red Pajero! Looooove it and so excited about our travels!!!! Heading off from Perth on Monday night 24th Aug, and flights booked for 14th November back to the uk!!
Perth Day 5
... Park. It turns out that this is the place you come if you want to stroke a kangaroo and a koala!! So we were on a mission to find both of these animals and do what everyone who comes to Australia should do. Check out the photos! :) koalas are not as soft as you think they are going to be, whereas kangaroos are so soft and lovely! We went back to the kangaroo area before we left and stopped into the gift shop before ...
False Start
9th July 2015
Today was supposed to be the end of our problems and the start of our dream come true. But it didn't turn out that way. We had 2 stops to make this morning before jumping on the Great Eastern Highway to freedom. First stop was the doctor for a follow-up check (Aaliyah and I have been unwell), then to the exhaust shop for a quick replacement of a dented pipe. That should have been it, but no! The exhaust repair guy saw the back wheels were out ...
Working man.
... Currently staying in the same hostel as before but a few friends and I are talking about getting a place hopefully as we all intend to work here over the winter- it will be nice to be out of hostels! I really like Perth, it's got a nice feel too it, coasts are beautiful, small city but big enough to know you are living in a city if that makes much sense. Definitely glad I came to the West. Hope you are all well. Speak to you all soon I hope. Love ...

Ke$ha has revealed that her performance at the Yahoo Wireless festival was inspired by Beyoncé.
The 'Blow' singer took to the festival's main stage earlier today (July 12) wearing a moulded black leather leotard, before changing into a bejewelled number topped with her signature glitter.
Prior to her appearance, Ke$ha spoke to MTV and told fans: "I think you can expect more of the same but hopefully also some fierceness you've never seen from me.
"I've been taking notes from like Beyoncé by watching Beyoncé. I'm going to be shaking my ass."
The 26-year-old star - who worked with The Voice UK's will.i.am on her new single 'Crazy Kids' - also said that when she finished touring, she would be interested in taking on the role of a talent show judge.
"One day I would love to do something like that, but right now I'm travelling the world and playing my new record, which I thoroughly enjoy," she explained.
"But, when I'm done with that then maybe, yeah, sure", she added, admitting that she would be a "pretty honest" judge and not "too bitchy to anybody".
Ke$ha recently announced that she will release her first jewellery line this summer. The collaboration with designer Charles Albert will consist of four collections, with prices ranging from $30 (£20) to $750 (£493).

Posted by WRP1975Posted by ZipZapZo0mPosted by WRP1975
To be honest, I'm not sure why I have to change who I am because of this. Sure I might be able to play the whole distancing and ignoring and cold shoulder game (and play it well, I must say) but why? That's too much work.
I'll just go back to being the good, friendly, caring guy I was when she met me. She knows I'm married and not going anywhere and that's for her to deal with. Not me. If she wants to be friends, awesome, if not, I can't be responsible for her feelings.
It's just too much work for me to be mean and cold to people. I must be a lazy scorpio.
I dont think its necessary for you to be mean and cold lol. Could be that both of you got off on the wrong foot reading each other. You're sweating it too much with this gem chick, leave her be and just be yourself around her. If she takes it as friendship, well and good, if not, oh well, you tried being normal and its time you cut her off.
Absolutely. Maybe going to work won't be such a chore again ha ha!
you scorps are such hard work to us gems lol. Took me some 2000 years to decipher mine as the uncomplicated straightforward guy I see him now as.

Stop in the Visitor Center if it is open and pick up a Trail Guide. Begin your search by taking the Cedar Trail to the boardwalk. On the board walk section you will see tons of wildlife. When I hid this box I saw a water snake, Bullfrog tadpoles, two kinds of turtles, lots of birds and ducks and herons, a beaver, lots of dragonflies, lots of nice plants, lizards, and butterflies. It is one of the best nature spots in the Washington Area. Be sure to take sunscreen and some binoculars and a hat. Very easy walking.
Frog Box (Replaced 5/25/06) Thanks, Squirrel
Be sure to stop at the Visitor Center
To get a trail guide before you enter.
If you begin your search on the Cedar Trail
And follow the boardwalk you will not fail.
Look for the turtles, ducks and plants in flower
On your way to the Observation Tower.
Just before you reach that man made height
Take the boardwalk to the left, not to the right.
At the wooden path's end and before the dirt
Stop at the sign and look alert.
Look to the meadow at 140 degrees
To spot a clump of five beautiful trees.
Be careful of the ticks, snakes and fox
As you retrieve this first letterbox.
Be sure to replace and cover the box well
So it cannot be seen by others on the trail.
Dragonfly Box (Still there as of March 18, 2006 or soon to be replaced 5/25/06)
Continue on around to the number 12 and relax at the bench and listen to the woodland sounds. At that bench take a left turn and continue on to the #14 (the Ditch). From there take 56 steps to a second bend in the trail. Stop and face left. Look for a big tree bearing 300 degrees about 35 steps forward. Inside you will find what you seek. Be sure to replace the box and cover it so it cannot be seen from the trail.
This box is still in place as of March 18, 2006 but it needs a new baggie and a booklet. If you go, can you tidy it up and add a booklet for the next boxer. I'm sure they would appreciate it. It is one of the oldest boxes in the area and one of the ones in the Washington Post article that got letterboxing started in this area. I would hate to see it go missing.
Thanks, Squirrel

John F. KennedyPosted: June 13, 2014 Filed under: USA Politics 10 Comments »
This 1964 documentary, narrated by Cliff Robertson, paints an intimate portrait of President Kennedy during his all-too-brief 46-year life.
What makes this program a little more special than other similar documentaries (IMO) is the fact that it was made very shortly after JFK's death, which occurred in November 1963. The very good music score by David Rose is also an asset.
Author Jim Bishop, who wrote two books about JFK, makes an appearance near the end of this film to talk about some of his personal experiences with President Kennedy. Bishop's commentary provides a touching climax to this very good documentary.
The original title of this film is simply "JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY".

Thomas JeffersonPosted: June 13, 2014 Filed under: USA Politics 25 Comments »
In which John Green teaches you about founding father and third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson is a somewhat controversial figure in American history, largely because he, like pretty much all humans, was a big bundle of contradictions. Jefferson was a slave-owner who couldn't decide if he liked slavery. He advocated for small government, but expanded federal power more than either of his presidential predecessor. He also idealized the independent farmer and demonized manufacturing, but put policies in place that would expand industrial production in the US. Controversy may ensue as we try to deviate a bit from the standard hagiography/slander story that usually told about old TJ. John explores Jefferson's election, his policies, and some of the new nation's (literally and figuratively) formative events that took place during Jefferson's presidency. In addition to all this, Napoleon drops in to sell Louisiana, John Marshall sets the course of the Supreme Court, and John Adams gets called a tiny tyrant.

Storms pummel city four nights; sewer fills up
Anyone with a CodeRED telephone weather warning system was awakened several times Thursday through Sunday nights when storms packing violent winds ripped branches, toppled trees and flooded streets.
Central Nebraska Public Power District recorded a wind gust of 73 mph around midnight Friday.
In a four-day period, nearly eight inches of rain filled streets, basements and ball fields.
That caused the city sewer to back up as well as some residents pumping water from basements into the sanitary sewer, according to city services director Shane Gruber.
When pumping floodwater from homes or businesses, Gruber said excess water should be pumped outside on lawns—not into the sanitary sewer.
On Monday, the three pumps at the wastewater treatment plant were processing as much water as they could.
"They're not keeping up very well but by the end of today or tomorrow (Tuesday), the sanitary flow should be back to normal," Gruber said, noting that residents should discontinue using washing machines, dishwashers or bathing during and after times of heavy rain.
Flood warnings for the Platte River were issued by the National Weather Service.
River water was measured at 6.8 feet Tuesday noon near Cozad and expected to fall below flood stage—at 6.5 feet—by evening today (Wednesday).
Barry and Gwen McDiarmid, who own the KOA campground south of town, were optimistic that a run-off channel of the Platte that flows by their campground would not overflow.
Heavy rain, low spots and a high water table caused minor flooding in several areas of the campground.
Before a new bridge and before a spill channel replaced a dike upstream where the Platte crosses under I-80, the McDiarmids battled serious flooding in the 1990s.
However in 1998, they installed a bridge over the channel.
The new bridge, on which campers drive to get into the campground, is two feet higher than the previous one.

@eugeneiusLocale: Nuevo Mexico
You both had a nice little scramble out there Nick.
The ocotillo in J-Tree resemble ours in NM. We're waiting for first rain of the year to finally bring out the leaves from their slumber. We haven't received as much as a sprinkling in months.
@tomclarkLocale: East Coast
Again, you take us down that primrose path to the Rock Candy Mountain.
@ngatelLocale: Southern California
Added a couple pictures I left out as I am in a hurry to pack and leave for another trip.
Thanks for all the nice comments.
"What would have happened if there had been no water?" BIG problem! Whenever hiking in deserts one needs to verify water sources. That mean a first hand report from someone you trust 100%, or going out ahead of time and personally verifying it. Otherwise, carry all the water you will need in case there isn't water.
@hikin_jimLocale: Orange County, CA, USA
Excellent report and photos. It must have been HOT out there. I was in (relatively) nearby Whitewater preserve, and it was plenty hot there. Glad you found water. I've got a couple of spots I want to check out out there re water.
Take care,
Cool guys. I'd love to get out with both of you again soon.
@richardcullipLocale: San Diego County
What an excellent little adventure. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. I enjoyed the words and pictures.
Excellent trip. I'm sure I've actually been there earlier this year, at least your exit canyon. I recognize the palms and that dense patch of O. bigelovii (definitely a place to watch your step!). I recall thinking that continuing further upcanyon past the palms would be a serious boulder-fest. Great cross-country trip!

Skip to comments.Green Dreams Shattered: EU Biofuels Program Will Increase Carbon Emissions
Posted on 11/11/2010 8:01:08 AM PST by seamus
I love all those "green future" commercials companies like Exxon and BP ("Beyond Petroleum") run. They never fail to get a chuckle out of me, no matter how often I see them.
I cant remember who is responsible for the latest one in which an engineer and a teacher (both actors, of course) speak almost simultaneously in split screen. They both talk about how we need to get off of carbon-based fuels like petroleum. Ive only seen it once and will likely see it 100 times more but my initial guffaw line was when the teacher, in exasperation, wonders why our cars arent running on compost already! or something.
The Heartland Institute has labored mightily over the last several years to expose the green economy scam. So its nice to see the MSM at least in Britain get wise and report on it. The November 10 Independent of London reports a story with the headline: Biofuel plan will cause rise in carbon emissions. You dont say!
The first four graphs of the story lay it out in refreshingly clear terms:
Britains promise to more than double its use of biofuels by 2020 is significantly adding to worldwide carbon emissions, the Government admitted yesterday. Britain is signed up to a European guarantee to source 10 per cent of its transport fuel from renewable sources, such as biofuels, within the next 10 years. ...
(Excerpt) Read more at somewhatreasonable.com ...
No matter what the project, plan or promise ... if the loony left supports it, you KNOW it's a lie.
It doesn't matter. This isn't about carbon. It's about envy. Leftists want to punish people who use energy.
Instead of taking the consumers tax dollars to create something that costs the consumer more money to have, try letting the marketplace create something that will save the consumer money and is affordable enough to make the consumer want it more than anything else.
Leftists want to punish peopleThat's more like it! ;-) Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Climate Disruption ... whatever the left calls it doesn't matter. This has never been about saving the planet. It's been, from the start, about controlling the people who live on the planet -- which is reason enough to resist even if the science wasn't bogus.
who use energy.
Well....now what?
The study, from the Institute for European Environmental Policy, found that far from being 35 to 50 per cent less polluting, as required by the European Directive, the extra biofuels will be twice as bad for the environment.
This is yet another reason why its a shame that Prop 23 didnt pass in California. The voters of the former Golden State condemned their economy to stagnation because they believed the fantasy that a major industrial economy can simply state that they will go green and (1) it will not result in economic disaster and (2) its even a good thing for the environment.
They are idiots, and I know this is not news to anyone other than the Kos/DU trolls who occasionally lurk. Without getting terribly advanced, a little technical but not overboard at least, all educated people who think for themselves should be able to recognize that biofuels have no net carbon emissions. Zero. None. Zilch. Nada.
Suppose that I decide to grow corn, soy, and switchgrass for biofuel purposes. When they are burned, they will, of course, release all that carbon into the air. But where did the carbon in my switchgrass come from? Hint: high school biology; 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 [carbon dioxide plus water plus sunlight gives sugar plus oxygen]. The carbon in our biofuel crops comes from . . . atmospheric CO2.
The morons in the environmental movement are somewhat silly to count CO2 as pollution at all, but to count a closed cycle with no net CO2 release at all as worse than the open cycle that releases carbon from coal or from oil is insane even by environmentalist standards.
A little picture of what I said. All carbon in plant matter comes from the air. Growing crops for biofuels, burning them, and re-releasing the carbon is carbon neutral.
He has missed the ignorant GE commercials with the neon green posts sticking out of the fround that everyone is suppose to plug in thier "electric" car.
And don't forget their mercury lightbulbs.
I wonder if "mad cow disease" was really a disease?
If it comes from a greenie it is a LIE.
Isn't that the point they are making.
This is because Europe will need to cultivate an area somewhere between the size of Belgium and the Republic of Ireland with biofuels to meet the target, which can only be done through land conversion and more controversially, deforestation. The work will be on such a scale that the carbon released from the vegetation, trees and soil will be far greater than those given off by fossil fuels they are designed to replace.
Of course, which is why the major stockholders of energy companies are big donors to green groups. In fact, I have never seen a major environmental initiative that did not consume MORE oil and gas. Not one. Everything from replacing trees with cement and plastic to the pumping and transportation of raw material feedstocks, it's all the same.
I don't give a hang about anthropogenic CO2, but I do think improving soil fertility is a big deal, particularly in mesic and xeric systems.
Good point. However, you can go even beyond that. The net OXYGEN production of any tree, plant, or grass, from seed through growth and maturity to death and decay, is exactly ZERO. Planting trees, or anything else, does not add one single oxygen molecule to the atmosphere, once you take into account the fact that after the plant dies, it will be oxidized again (burned, eaten by termites, etc.).
I don't think that was their point. The actual energy for distilling is relatively low because of the use of heat exchangers. One of their points was the deforestation for crops, but I didn't find that convincing either. My impression is that we have farmland that is no longer used for that purpose as crop yields continue to rise, so there is no major need for new deforestation.
As long as we don't care about eating maybe.
Then again refining those things into fuels is also causing pollution
It's about time people got a memo about what the French got right. Yes Nuclear Energy, a nuclear power grid. It's about time America got more nuclear too.
Come on folks, nuclear energy is the future! WHY TRY TO GET AROUND IT?!!!!
Doesn't the making of ethanol...( The actual distilling, or whatever they do...) take energy of some sort? Isn't that the point they are making?This is correct. Studies in the US have shown that the net-energy expense is either equal or exceeds what it takes to produce ethanol, truck it to refineries, add the right mixture, etc. And then there's the separate issue of how taking corn out of the food supply and pouring it into our gas tanks artificially inflate food prices -- all done with enormous taxpayer subsidies to the ethanol industry. It's a sick cycle.
It just gets better and better, doesn't it?
I've noticed lately that there is less and less talk about "global warming" and "climate change". The BS is starting to dissipate, even though the slimestream media doesn't want to report on the discoveries of all the fraudulent claims, the vast amount of money that was intended to be sucked out of the populace and basically what was the grandest fraud/scam ever attempted. It's the story of the new century, yet what do we hear from them?
What does that mean?
The heat input to the heat exchangers is energy and has to come from somewhere.
The energy input lasts a long time and distills quite a bit of alcohol or whatever you are processing out of the biofuel mass. It's quite efficient compared to the country still making moonshine that we often visualize.
Nice image, Veni.
So you are saying the fermentation creates heat that is then recovered and used in other areas of the process, if I read that correctly.
Not quite. Fermentation only produces a little heat, too little to recapture profitably. It's distillation that allows for reusing the heat through a regenerative heat exchange system. As alcohol-free liquid flows out, it pre-heats the alcohol-laden fluid that is ready to be distilled, cooling to room temperature as the fluid is heated to near the boiling point with negligible loss. The design is copied from nature:
"Counter Current Circulation": Arctic animals try to keep their temperature constant, but their legs remain cold, while their head and body core remain warm. This seems like a difficult feat, but with an adaptation called countercurrent heat exchange it requires little energy. In this system of circulation arteries, which carry warm blood from the heart to the extremities, lie very close to the veins, which carry blood from the cold extremities of the body back to the heart. In this way, heat from the warm arterial blood is transferred to the colder blood in a vein, thereby cooling the blood in the artery and warming the venous blood. Thus, as blood from the body reaches the extremities, it is already cooled and loses very little additional heat to the environment. Conversely, cool blood from the extremities is warmed prior to reaching the body core and does not shock the heart or reduce internal body temperature. The countercurrent exchange system has been well studied in both the arctic fox and the caribou, which maintain their core temperature nearly 30°C higher than their appendages.

Texas Instruments engineer Mark Easley pops corn with a message
A big hit last week at Texas Instruments Inc.'s mini do-it-yourself festival was the popcorn — and the machine that made it.
Engineer Mark Easley's recipe is: one commercial popcorn maker plus a TI microcontroller board and a TI Wi-Fi package. That package enables him to control the cooking of the corn and the heating of the butter.
The machine will send him a tweet and display an LED message on top when the popcorn is ready. The LED display also could be used to show stock prices or the weather report, Easley said.
It was all part of the third annual "DIY with TI" event Friday at the semiconductor company's Dallas headquarters.
Twenty employees demonstrated their projects. Some of this year's other projects included a plant irrigation system, a robot, a smart hat and sports team badges with a noise-activated light. I blogged here about it Friday and I'm featuring an inventor with his projects each day this week at 10 a.m.
Easley is a maker — a do-it-yourselfer who likes to invent technology-based products. He's worked on robotics and smart lighting systems and thermostats.

Christmas lights w/ D5100 in Movie mode
I am looking for any tips in taking movies of Christmas Lights. These are not static lights, but rather are extremely active. Each year I take movies of my display and each year I am disappointed in that I don't have as much control as I'd like using the inexpensive digital camcorders I have used in the past. I am thinking I need to keep the camera from auto focusing since the lights are changing so often (and so fast), but as far as this goes, frequent changes to the aperture are probably not going to help either.
I have about 3 months before I will need to film the real thing, so I hopefully will have the challenge well at hand before the lights go on. Anything you all can offer me will be greatly appreciated.
For an example of the lights in question, you can go to the website at summerleafchristmas.com.
Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you have identified the common problems. With this knowledge you should be able to get a good next try with either your DSLR or the video camera.

Well, you do have three months and you aren't using film that has to be developed so this should be easy. Get a string of lights and start this weekend.
Seems to me that taking a picture of a light source requires a lot less exposure than trying to take a picture of something iluminated by that light source. So you should be able to stop down the lens which gives you greater deapth of field.
Assuming that you want to capture relatively large arrangements, from the whole display to sections of the display, you will be relatively far away from the subject. This also enhances deapth of field.
So. Take make a quick video of your lights (at night) from various distances with various f/stops at each distance. This will tell you your maximum f/stop (smallest apperture) for each distance.
Assuming that you will have to go across the street to get a shot of the entire display, set up some kind of focusing target one third of the way back from the frontmost part of the display (on the assumption that the deapth of field extends 1/3 forward of the actual focus point and 2/3 behind it - if the experts know different, please help out with the correct numbers). Focus on the target from across the street and mark the lens or make a note or something so that you can return it manually. Also note the location of the camera so you can return to it when you do it for real. (This focusing can be done with AF-S. When you do it for real, everything will be done in manual mode)
Repeat the above process from any other point from which you might want to shoot portions of the display.
You may also want to consider that the house will be illuminated by the display at some level. The adjustments that determine from the previous steps may not allow the house to be in focus, so you might also want to repeat the steps to determine focusing points which would bring the house into the deapth of field zone.
I have never done anything like this, have had my 5100 for about a year and have only been getting the hang of it within the last two months or so. However, this is how I would approach the problem.

Sorry, but my advice about depth (yeah, if finally looked up how to spell depth) of field seems to be wrong. See my post about apperture behavior in video mode. I've only done one video (On YouTube.com under WA2WMR)
Apparently stopping down the lens does nothing for video. In fact, an article I read today comparing video with a DSLR to video with a camcorder said that DSLRs have a shallower depth of field than a camcorder.
Hey, it's the weekend. Play with it and see what you get. Oh yes, shoot with the camera on a 5 ton granite slab or a tripod that's built like one.
Best of luck with ths - I'm looking forward to seeing the results.
Someone just posted to my thread about apperture behavior in video mode that the lens does indeed stop down to where you set it. The reason the pic remains bright is the viewfinder brightness is increased to compensate.

#6. "RE: Christmas lights w/ D5100 in Movie mode " | In response to Reply # 5
I did have some time to play with the settings over the weekend. From those efforts, I believe I need to set up the camera with the bulk of the lights on before trying to record video with all the lights changing (so I can determine optimal exposure). The test I ran was with some RGB lights that, while I can set them up so they are fully on, it's not the same as when all the lights on the entire display are cranked up. So, I took some notes and hopefully will be able to record soon after all the lights are setup in November.
#9. "RE: Christmas lights w/ D5100 in Movie mode " | In response to Reply # 8
Thanks for asking. Filming of the show definately went better than efforts of the past. I set the camera for aperture priority and tried to adjust ISO and shutter speed to acheive double the fps rate as was described in the associated article. I however ended up closing the aperture significantly and didn't worry about the indicated exposure. The biggest problem I have with what I did is the focus. I trust the camera more than I'd like because my 55 year old eyes don't work as well as they used to!

Domestic spying hits close to home
Published: Friday, January 20, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 19, 2006 at 11:19 p.m.
NEW YORK -- Alexandra Bell and her graduate studies classmates at New School University were engaged in an ambitious project: draft a plausible outline for resolving the bloody, half-century Israeli/Palestinian conflict.
Want to know more?
In the anxious months after the Sept. 11 attacks, the National Security Agency began sending a steady stream of telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and names to the FBI in search of terrorists.
The stream soon became a flood, requiring hundreds of agents to check out thousands of tips a month. But virtually all of them, according to current and former officials, led to dead ends or innocent Americans.
President Bush has characterized the eavesdropping program, which focused on the international communications of some Americans and others in the United States, as a vital tool against terrorism; Vice President Dick Cheney has said it has saved thousands of lives.
More than a dozen current and former law enforcement and counterterrorism officials said the torrent of tips led them to few potential terrorists inside the country they did not know of from other sources and diverted agents from counterterrorism work they viewed as more productive.
The debate over the legality of Bushs eavesdropping program will be at the center of congressional hearings expected to begin next month.
In months of role-playing via e-mail, the students never guessed their communications were being intercepted and read as part of the administration's domestic spying program.
Until their professor told them.
"I don't how they picked us up, said Bell, 26-year-old daughter of Ed and Sinikka Bell of Tuxedo. "One of my classmates is doing research on (the Palestinian militant group) Hamas; my thesis is on biological weapons, so we go on a lot of Web sites."
But Bell, an East Henderson High School graduate who lives in the East Village of Manhattan, said most of the sites they visit are establishment domains such as the Centers for Disease Control or PBS. So she was shocked she and her classmates were caught up in the domestic spying program.
"If they are picking up on general e-mail transactions obviously something pointed them to it, and if it is legitimate graduate student research that is a little alarming," she said. "It just seems like time and effort could be better spent finding actual terrorists rather than security-minded researchers."
Her father, dean of administrative services at Blue Ridge Community College, also views the episode as an invasion of privacy.
"They (administration officials) say they are only monitoring international transactions in and out of the country which is obviously not true because these e-mails were strictly in this country," he said.
The case appears to be among a flood of "dead end" leads FBI officials complained they were given in carrying out the administration's domestic spying program, as reported in the New York Times this week.
"We'd chase a number, find it's a school teacher with no indication they've ever been involved in international terrorism -- case closed," a former FBI official told The Times. "After you get a thousand numbers and not one is turning up anything, you get some frustration."
The Bush administration has defended its program of wiretapping and eavesdropping without warrants. The administration launched the effort soon after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, instructing the National Security Agency and the FBI to move urgently to thwart more plots.
The NSA, whose mission is to spy overseas, began monitoring international e-mail messages and phone calls of people inside the United States linked even indirectly to suspected al-Qaida figures, the Times reported. But the case of Bell and her classmates points to a broader surveillance of domestic e-mail.
"Fantasy world" meetsreal espionage
Alexandra Bell, known as "Alex," to her family and friends, holds a double bachelor's degree in peace, war and defense and history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She worked two years in the Peace Corps and served as a substitute teacher in the Henderson County Public Schools before entering the graduate program at New School University in September, 2004.
In work toward her master's degree on international affairs, conflict and security, Bell is enrolled in a class called "Insight on Incitement." The class is a comprehensive look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how incitement to violence has hindered the peace process.
A year ago, the class began a lengthy assignment in which students played the roles of Israeli and Palestinian negotiators setting the stage for a fictional peace conference called Smallwood. The students played roles of diplomats involved in "back channel" negotiations in preparation for an imagined peace conference between leaders of state. Bell's role was that of Mohammed Dahlan, a Palestinian official in charge of security in Gaza.
"We were kind of in a fantasy world where at the time Sharon and Abbas, (Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas) were in a position to start back negotiations," she said. "We spent basically that whole half a year in role."
The students used their own e-mail addresses, such as Hotmail or accounts through the university.
"It was nothing shady," she said. "What is even funnier is our New School e-mail accounts end in .edu."
Bell said she does not think any of her 12 classmates were communicating with anyone outside the United States. But last spring, their professor informed the class "that one of his contacts in Washington, I assume it is with the NSA, had hooked into our e-mails."
Web research leadsto surveillance
Bell said her professor is a leader in a Jewish American group lobbying for peace. She did not want to give his name because he is in Israel now and she was not sure he would want the publicity.
"He is a big American player in the Israeli/Palestinian conflict," she said. "He was told it would have been a help to the intelligence agency if they had been informed we were pretending to do back channel negotiations."
The National Security Agency has conducted domestic eavesdropping without seeking warrants ordinarily required. The administration has defended the program, saying it is covered under the president's authority to fight terrorism after the 9-11 attacks. Calls to the White House for a specific response were not returned.
Bell said she believes federal officials were looking at the class e-mails for about two weeks. She thinks they were tipped off that students were sending the e-mails when one of her classmates "broke character."
"I think one classmate said something completely out of scope, like meeting up," she said. "Generally we were keeping character pretty well, so I'm sure all of a sudden it would have been noticeable if someone said 'hey, lets go get a beer.'" Bell was not surprised the domestic spying story has grown into a major national news story in recent weeks.
"I already kind of knew it was happening," she said. "It was just confirmation they are looking at people without much reason except where they are going on the Internet and maybe what books they are buying."
Bell said her classmates visited sites such as that of the Palestinian group Hamas, but that most of their research was on United States government and media Web sites. Hamas is listed on the European Union's list of banned terrorist organizations, but is mounting a strong political challenge to Abbas' Fatah party in elections set for Wednesday.
Looking over her shoulder
Bell said she believes spying on American citizens is unconstitutional.
"You can acquire wiretaps through a judge something like 72 hours after the fact, so if there is something that is really important you can go and get that judicial approval," she said. "I think the separation of power is there for a reason. And information gathering with no sort of due process is unconstitutional."
She wonders if the students' e-mails are still being monitored.
"I got the impression they (federal officials) were just kind of laughing about the fact they had been watching these e-mails go back and forth," she said. "Nothing came of it, but I kind of feel like they are still watching, especially since now we have been to Israel."
She and five other students recently returned from a 10-day trip to Jerusalem's Old City to take a closer look at the disputed land and the peace process. The class has produced a 60-page outline for a peace process, and plans in April to bring Palestinian and Israeli leaders to the United States for a workshop on the conflict.
The students' proposal would set up a Palestinian state with provisional borders, and resolve the question of sovereignty over the area known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Palestinians as Haram al Sharif, "Dome of the Rock." Under their plan, Israel would control the Western Wall, the Palestinians would have full sovereignty over two mosques and the rest of the mount would be shared with both flags flying.
"It was very easy for us to abstractly decide where sovereignty lies; it is a whole different perspective when you get up there," she said.
Bell, who plans to pursue a career in security and international law, said she hopes to someday see a peace plan take shape, whether or not it resembles the students' project.
"I hope so. It is good for graduate students to say, 'see, this would work.'"

You have to search in unicode latin for "xtf" and replace it with the extension of your original fonts. The original fonts are usually called ".xft". Just open your Fonts folder on C drive and check what they are if you dont know.

Hatton Wants To Make Quigg vs. Frampton Clash in 2012
SCOTT QUIGG will make the first defence of his British super-bantamweight title early next year on Saturday February 4.
The contest will take place in the Premier Suite at Bolton's Reebok Arena and is being televised live on Sky Sports.
Hatton Promotions hope to announce the challenger in the next ten days for the clash that looks sure to be sell-out – just 12 miles from Quigg's Bury home.
Quigg, 23, became domestic champion in October, forcing Jason Booth to quit on his stool after seven rounds.
Ricky Hatton believes unbeaten Quigg (23-0) is well on the way to becoming a world champion, and is eyeing an eventual fight with Barry McGuigan protégé Carl Frampton.
'The Hitman' said: "I have always spoken highly of Scott and now people will start to take more notice after the Booth win.
"I look forward in the near future to seeing Scott taking on Carl Frampton who Barry McGuigan believes will take the world by storm, but I disagree massively.
"Although I'm a Frampton fan, Scott is an all-rounder, solid in every department and tip Scott to beat him when they meet down the line.
"The last time me and Barry disagreed on match was when Michael Gomez beat Alex Arthur. Barry picked Arthur and I picked Gomez. Gomez won a classic, and Quigg will also win a classic against Frampton when they meet."
On the undercard Manchester's Beijing Olympian meets fellow unbeaten hopeful Chris Male for the vacant English featherweight title.
Hatton Promotions prospects Jez Wilson and Tom Doran clash in a battle of light-middleweight hopefuls. The card will also include Craig Lyon.
Boxing starts at 6.15pm and tickets priced at £35, £55 and £75 VIP ringside. You can buy by calling 01925 755 222, Ticketmaster 0844 847 2500, Ticketline 0844 888 9991 or online www.hattonboxing.com
Total 50-50 fight. I love watching both guys.Comment by gingeralbino on 11-29-2011
great fight, hope it happens. Winner can fight Munroe to become the UKs top SBW (I think Booth is dropping down in weight?). Munroe hasnt looked as good recently. He's ready for the taking. Then Kiko Martinez. WAR Frampton!Comment by Box Up! on 11-29-2011
That would be a domestic dream matchup. Both fighters are serious, serious prospects and they're paths are on a collision course not dissimilar to Grove's and DeGale's were back in May. It's a real 'pick em' fight, very 50/50 so…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (3)

Inmet sure had gotten cheap too. The Cobra de Panama property has proven to have even more reserves than originally estimated. One interesting aside is that this property's proven gold reserves keep rising. Short term all the miners are sucking air, but long term this is a world class property. And Inmet is now selling for not much more than at the market bottom in early 2009.
Market is very risk adverse and taking a very short term approach. I bought some Inmet a couple weeks ago and I think this could provide a great entry. But it carries plenty of risk and will likley be a wild ride with plenty of setbacks.
"Inmet Mining Corporation (TSX:IMN) (Inmet) today announced the closing of its previously announced offering of US $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 8.75 percent senior unsecured notes maturing 2020 (the "Notes"This was a few days ago. Isn't 8.75% pretty high? LUK actually bought back 8.5% notes saying they can only exceed that return hurdle rate by such a small amount that it's not worth investing with debt. If Inmet's project is so high return, LUK should sell everything and own only Inmet stock!
That pricing (8.75%) sounds good for a non-investment grade issuer that is developing a high-cost mining project.One thing about LUK's insight on debt. As everybody knows, LUK has NOLs to last 10 years or more. Because LUK has NOLs, LUK receives no current tax benefit for interest expense. A corporate taxpayer that borrows at 8% has an effective current interest rate of 4.8% (8% minus 40% tax savings for interest expense). LUK is in a weird position -- its cost of debt is not currently subsidized -- the interest expense adds to the NOL position and won't be used until 10 or 15 years down the road.This clearly impacts the way that LUK views deals. Other things being equal, a deal is going to have a higher PV for a current-cash taxpayer than for LUK because the former receives an effective tax subsidy for its debt expense.
8.75% even if unsecured sounds outrageously high in light of an 8 year maturity.
All of LUK's holding are traddng substantialy below their 12 month highs. This is a point too many ignirant or loud mouth posters on this Board are willing to accept as the principal reason the share price has declined.Need proof. Just look at the idiot post asking why the big upside move in the stock today.
Everything LUK owns gets cheap for the last 5 years

Sweet and Savory Pies at Leoda's

Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop is a Maui favorite. The eatery uses locally sourced ingredients to make everything from scratch. The chicken pot pie (pictured), the roast pork hoagie, and the signature burger are particularly delicious. You can't leave without trying a slice of pie for dessert, of course. Choose from traditional flavors like apple crumb and island-inspired ones like macadamia nut-chocolate-praline. Prices are reasonable, and the vibe is laid-back.

A 30-year career in information technology has taught DOE's CIO valuable lessons
DOE security upgrades could better protect data
A career man
Tom Pyke was no neophyte when he became the Energy Department's chief information officer in November 2005, and his experience — more than 30 years' worth — propelled him to a fast start.
Pyke left the Commerce Department to become DOE's CIO. When he arrived, he immediately began implementing a security upgrade plan, visiting the department's far-flung national laboratories, and meeting with individuals and groups whose information technology talents are essential to DOE.
The CIO's job is to help an organization make the best use of IT to advance its mission, he said. "The mission is exciting."
Pyke centers his leadership style on the people who work for him. He looks for ways to inspire and motivate them to give their best efforts. Every organization has unique group dynamics, he said, and part of a leader's duty is to understand those dynamics.
"The challenge here has been to find just the right touch," he said.
Pyke started his government work early, just out of high school. He took a summer job writing a computer manual for the National Bureau of Standards, which is now the National Institute of Standards and Technology. After earning a degree in electrical engineering, he returned to the government. Pyke was the first CIO at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration before moving to Commerce's headquarters as CIO.
"When I started, I didn't intend to stay in the government long term," he said. "I found the experience was very fulfilling. Every step of my career, I feel I'm doing something worthwhile."
Pyke's first mentor was his father, an electrical engineer who served in the Air Force and then in civil service.
"He was a patriot, and I'm a patriot," Pyke said. "From my dad, I learned to appreciate the value of hard work."
Pyke met another significant mentor when he was working at the National Bureau of Standards, where he was director of the Center for Computer Systems Engineering and later director of the Center for Programming Science and Technology.
At the programming center, Pyke worked with Ruth Davis. He said Davis passed on to him the value of balancing calm flexibility and forcefulness, to go with the flow when possible and speak up strongly when needed, he said.
Pyke said he has also learned management techniques from DOE Secretary Samuel Bodman. The two worked together at Commerce when Bodman was the department's deputy secretary.
"He helped me appreciate ways of working with people" and to take full advantage of the expertise available on staff, Pyke said.
Alan Balutis, director of North American Public Sector Consulting at Cisco Systems' Internet Business Solutions Group, worked with Pyke when Balutis was Commerce's deputy CIO.
"He's got a first-rate mind, he's an extremely bright guy," Balutis said. "He's very optimistic and upbeat. It was a real loss to the department to have him go after all these years, but you can tell in the new position he's really having a great time."
Pyke likes to share his passion for science and technology. He was director of a program called Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment. In that role, he led an interagency team in creating an environmental science and education program that reaches children in 109 countries.
"I've had a lot of different experiences," he said.
Getting to know DOE's employees has occupied much of his time as the department's new CIO. Commerce was a large agency, but DOE is much larger, he said.
"Most of our people are out in the field," many at the labs, he said. Traveling to meet employees is important, he added. "You learn what's really happening."
Pyke said he brings a strong sense of the agency's mission to his role. He said he believes IT is a means to an end and not an end itself. If IT doesn't improve an agency's ability to pursue its mission, it is not serving its purpose, he said.
"I look at IT as being a bunch of us in competition for the best supporting actor award," he said.
Work history: Pyke began his government career at the National Bureau of Standards, now the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where he served as director of the Center for Computer Systems Engineering and later as director of the Center for Programming Science and Technology. He became the first CIO at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and later moved to the Commerce Department headquarters to become CIO.
Education: He has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, which is part of Carnegie Mellon University. He earned a master's degree in engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.
Recommended reading: "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman.
Family: He has two sons; one is a climate researcher at the Environmental Protection Agency and the other is a law student at the University of Virginia. He also has a granddaughter.
Lesson learned: Pyke's father, an electrical engineer, was a lifelong government employee, first in the Air Force, then in the civil service. "From my dad, I learned to appreciate the value of hard work," Pyke said.

Once I found out that the "free" cruise was more than what Carnival asked for, I asked for a refund. They told me over the phone what I needed to send in. I sent in all the paper they requested. I have followed up with VIP Travel at least four times via e-mail. I also tried calling and leaving messages. I never heard back. That was over six months ago.
These guys are fraudulent in every sense. There was no free cruse, not even a cruise at a discount. The refund they said that they would provide on the paperwork if the cruise did not go, also did not materialize. VIP Travel is a true scam.

Hey all,
Okay, I've had my D800e since last Oct, and for the first many months I have been fighting the battle with splooge/dirt/stuff getting on my sensor etc...now for the last 2 months, it's all stopped!
Wonder if this was just "stuff" that had to fall out of the camera box or ???
Now when I see stuff on the viewfinder, I just gently blow it out with a rocket blower POINTING THE CAMERA DOWN (ie. let the dirt fall out)
that has been the only real change I have done, is always pointing the camera down when changing lens, blowing etc...
I still love my camera.

She said that she has already cancelled my "subscription" to them and that a refund in the amount they took from my account 49.95 would be redeposited into my account in 3-5 days.
She said if the account has been closed then it will send it back to them and they will mail me a check..(we'll see) also i got the phone number of First America Bank who handled all of Global's withdrawl's.

Why men cheat - this is for all you ladies out there
Poster Handle
Post Content
I have been married for 10 years and I have been faithful to my wife. I love her and she is my best friend which is why I didn't cheat. The problem is that we have such mismatched sexual needs. Before marriage my wife used to perform oral on me quite a bit and we had a good sex life. After marriage within the first year there was a huge change. It seems to me that she did what she needed to do to keep me interested enough to get me to marry her. We have sex only when she is in the mood which is about twice a month. When I try initiating anything she comes up with excuses or complains about it. She recognizes that she has a low libidio and has said that she wishes that mine matched hers. I feel myself drifting and moving more and more away from her and I am not in love with her anymore. She still feels like a best friend, but I find myself frustrated and I am starting to resent her as a wife. What is running through my mind is that I am thinking if leaving her as the temptation to cheat is just becoming so strong. So if you want to keep your man interested in you and your marriage then feed he needs. It is very simple as men express and feel love for their partners through sex. It is what bonds us to you and what makes us move mountains for you. We are simple creatures that way.

When she is a mess,
tell her she is beautiful.
Play with her hair.
Run the tip of your tongue between her fingers.
If you are reading porn, get rid of it
and tell her it's boring you, because you have her,
and real is the best fantasy.
Buy her little gifts for no reason.
Gaze at her with lust when she's in the shower.
Do a little dance move when you think she's stealing
a glance at you. Like waggle your ass a little.
Remember this. All woman have all the same holes,
headaches, excuses, etc. Why did you want to take hers on
to begin with.
It's not rocket science.
