Violet Bystrak has had a big year.
The Orchard Park girl, now 3˝ years old, has made significant strides since she was featured last June in a story in The Buffalo News about her condition, called Prader-Willi syndrome. Violet can now walk. That's something her parents were told she might never do.
And she talks endlessly these days – about, her mother jokes, pretty much everything.
"She's like the mayor of her school," said Elizabeth Bystrak, Violet's mother. "She's amazing because she remembers everyone she's ever met."
But Violet also faces ongoing challenges as she grows up with Prader-Willi – a rare disease that causes insatiable hunger and can lead to problems with obesity in both childhood and adult life.
Now, Violet's family members and friends – as well as others affected by or concerned about Prader-Willi – are planning an awareness and fundraising event for this Saturday at the Buffalo Zoo.
The goal of the event is to teach the public about Prader-Willi while raising money that will go toward research into the syndrome, organizers said.
The event also is designed to build ties among members of the local Prader-Willi community, said Bystrak, who is one of the organizers of the event.
"I want the PWS community to get to know each other," said Bystrak, an instructor at Medaille College, who with her husband, Matt, has one other daughter.
"There's a lot of different things we can share, and learn from each other," she said.
Bystrak said she hopes for at least 200 to 300 people at the zoo event.
Last year, local advocates raised about $40,000 with a walk that brought out some 400 people, Bystrak said.
Prader-Willi, a rare syndrome that experts believe affects about one out of every 12,000 children in the United States, is a genetic condition that children are born with.
The syndrome manifests itself in different ways, including learning difficulties, poor muscle tone, speech issues and behavioral issues.
One common symptom of the condition is an uncontrollable urge to eat. That can lead to problems with obesity for those who are dealing with the syndrome.
Bystrak said that her daughter, who was diagnosed soon after birth, struggles with food issues even at her young age.
The Prader-Willi Syndrome Awareness Day at the Buffalo Zoo will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, with registration beginning at 10. For a minimum $25 donation, participants will get zoo admission, a shirt, a bag, and more.
The event will feature a scavenger hunt on zoo grounds with Prader-Willi-related clues; an art show with works by local residents with Prader-Willi; animal meet-and-greets; and raffles. Healthy lunch options will be available.
The event will include two local families who have been public about their children's struggles with Prader-Willi, the Bystraks of Orchard Park, and Harry and Ann McLellan of Pendleton, who have a 7-year-old son, Matthew, with the condition.
In two previous awareness and fundraising events, the local families and supporters have raised more than $70,000 for Prader-Willi research, according to Bystrak.
Proceeds from the zoo event will go to the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research, a California organization, and the New York State Prader-Willi Alliance, Bystrak said.

During an appearance on new U.S. talk show Katie, which aired on Wednesday, she said, "The Halloween before I had these shoes on that were too high, too tight... I lost both of the toe nails. First it went blue and I kept colouring them and then it just fell off. I'm like, 'What am I gonna do now?' and, especially in my job, I just superglued them both on."The problem forced Klum to reassess her wardrobe choices and now she tries to avoid putting her feet on display whenever possible.She adds, "My poor stylist, she had to find every closed-toe shoe on the planet!"WENN.com You May Also Like 15 top celebrity Instagram moments of 2014 Celebs Before and After makeup Heidi Klum & Seal getting divorced Heidi Klum has defended herself against cheating rumours Become a fan of The Edge on Facebook and on Twitter .

If it makes you feel ill, why do you do it?
I've learned that if I drink green tea on an empty stomach, it makes me extremely nauseous. As long as I've had a coffee/black tea with milk in first, or something to eat, I can then stomach green tea happily. So I just make sure that's what I do.


text:
At draft time, it's always "best available" versus "team needs." Obviously, ideally you'd like to combine the two things, drafting the best available player that also happens to fill a team need. That's why having the No. 1 pick is always ideal.
With the Thunder drafting No. 12, there will be some good players on the board, but they'll also have to have an idea of what they're after as well. To me, it's pretty clear the Thunder should be in the "team needs" camp because they're an unusual lottery team. While the other 13 are mostly average to bad rebuilding teams, the Thunder are a 60-win title contending monster. They aren't looking to hit that home run on a player that can turn the franchise around. They're just looking for another piece to the puzzle.
So, what are the Thunder's needs?
(Note: I'm not really a believer in positionality in basketball, but for this exercise, I'm going to go position by position.)
Point guard: Check. Russell Westbrook is signed through 2017 and backup Reggie Jackson is signed through 2016. Here's a catch though: If Scott Brooks comes around and figures out that Jackson is more than simply a "backup point guard" and starts using him as the team's true sixth man and more of a combo guard, that could sort of create a need.
But we're just getting hung up on particulars here. "Backup point guard" is really nothing more than a player that can let your starter rest. In truth, James Harden was the Thunder's backup point guard for a lot of his time in OKC. There is potential need for a third point guard, but that's something that could be addressed with a veteran minimum contract (i.e. the honorary Kevin Ollie role) or maybe with the No. 29 pick.
Need Level: 4/10
Shooting guard: This gets a little tricky. Thabo Sefolosha will be on an expiring contract next season. He's 29 and while still playing at an extremely high level, specifically on the defensive end. Behind Thabo is Jeremy Lamb, who the jury is still out on. He's just 20 and while it's completely unfair to make a judgment of him based on his rookie season, it's unknown if the team feels he's a) ready to contribute next season and/or b) is part of the future vision of the team.
If Lamb is indeed ready and part of the long-term vision, shooting guard becomes much less of a need. The Thunder could still use a defensive wing stopper — something Victor Oladipo would be a perfect fit for — but that could be hard to single out. I would assume Thabo's going to get re-signed anyway. He's making $3.9 million next season and with him turning 30, I doubt someone will hit him with an offer the Thunder would be uncomfortable matching.
Back to Lamb: I've already mentioned this, and I think it's still a possibility that the Thunder attempt to move up for that guard. If they don't feel like Lamb is the player to "replace" Harden, or at least mature into a bench scorer, then they have a major need here. Ben McLemore seems attainable if the Thunder truly want him, same with Oladipo potentially. As it stands currently, the Thunder don't have a need at shooting guard. But depending on internal feelings, they might.
Need Level: 5/10
Small forward: Pretty damn set there. Kevin Durant is signed through 2016 and considering Brooks sees Perry Jones III as his backup, the Thunder don't have a lot of room for another. I don't think it's out of the question to strengthen the position with a versatile player that could play alongside Durant, especially when KD moves up to power forward. Jones would seem to be that guy and with Dario Saric dropping out of the draft, there aren't a lot of great small forward options. Unless you go with a vet like Paul Pierce — who might get bought out — in that role. Very unlikely, though.
Need Level: 1/10
Power forward: Serge Ibaka is signed through 2017, Nick Collison signed through 2015, Perry Jones signed through 2017, Durant signed through 2016. That said, the Thunder still are somewhat thin at power forward, mostly because Ibaka might actually be the team's center of the future, or at least in a lot of lineup combinations. If that's the vision, then the Thunder need a new power forward. I don't think the smallball revolution is going to catch on so much that Durant is a full-time 4, but Ibaka could see a lot more time at center either alongside Collison or another big.
And there's also the fact that Collison has just two seasons left on his deal and he'll be 34 when it ends. But then again, Nick Collison gets a lifetime contract and he'll be just as good when he's 64 as he is when he's 34 so it doesn't really matter. (Cries into a pillow.)
Need Level: 7/10
Center: The most unsettled position by far. Kendrick Perkins is signed through 2015 and will be 30 when that deal is up, playing on two surgically repaired knees. Hasheem Thabeet is also signed through 2015, but next season and the season after aren't guaranteed. Daniel Orton is in the same situation. Collison is sort of a center, and same goes for Ibaka.
Center is easily the Thunder's biggest need. They tried to address it three drafts ago with Byron Mullens, but that didn't work out. Then again two drafts ago with Cole Aldrich, but that didn't work out either. There's so much talk about needing a "low post scorer" but I think that noise is overrated. Because really, how many teams have a center that's actually a "low post scorer?" The Pacers, Jazz, Lakers, Grizzlies, Kings, Nets and I think that's really it. The Spurs sort of have two, but they're more inside-out and same goes for the Warriors and a few other teams. A lot of teams aren't drafting and developing traditional back-to-the-basket players anymore. Versatility and the ability to play in space is the thing now.
(In reverse, that also sort of diminishes Perk's value, doesn't it? There are fewer and fewer traditional matchups for him, it seems. However, not having the ability to defend a player that can score in the paint is a major Achilles heel for any team. You saw it almost cost the Heat against the Pacers.)
In reality, the Thunder's front line is kind of thin. They certainly need a big man for the future, someone to potentially turn over a starting role to in a few years. The Thunder will likely have some decent choices at No. 12 to fill that need — Steven Adams, Rudy Gobert, Cody Zeller, etc — and they also will likely have the luxury of being patient with that player. (Though that's going to frustrate some and immediately declare OKC's pick a Aldrich-esque bust.)
At this present moment, the Thunder don't need to draft a new starting center, because unless they truly hit a home run, the guy they take won't be that at least for a couple of years. But the interior is quietly thin, and only getting thinner. If there's a hole that could be filled in the draft, it's here.
Need Level: 8.5/10
If we're talking needs, I'd rank them like this: 1) center/big; 2) playmaking guard; 3) shooting (literally, a guard that can shoot) guard. We might get a better sense of what the Thunder are thinking as the workouts play out, but we know this so far: The Thunder have worked out Steven Adams (a big man) and Sam Presti has personally traveled to Europe to scout Rudy Gobert (a big man). It would seem the Thunder are leaning that way.

Amanda Hodgkinson Discusses 22 Britannia Road
What drew you to this particular story of Polish World War II survivors living in England?
As a child, I was always fascinated when the adults around me talked about World War II. These were older family members who had lived through it, and I would try to stay quiet so I could listen without being discovered. Their voices changed to lower registers, there were weighted silences in the conversations, sad looks, secretive whispering, and then somebody would notice me and send me out to play, their voice swinging up a register to convey a gaiety they probably didn't feel.
The stories were about families and relationships. Mostly they were about the difficulties of people coming back together in peacetime. Of damaged men coming home from war and women trying to pick up the pieces. Of families broken by separations and children born out of wedlock. Of British GI brides waving good-bye to their families, joining American husbands, and of European immigrants, pale and gaunt, arriving on ships, hoping to begin new, safe lives in postwar Britain. I would go to bed at night, sick at heart thinking about these stories, and wonder how the world ever managed to get back to normal after that...

Check out this really cool video of Japanese street magician Shinya Uchida using his iPad to perform a magical presentation outside the Apple store in Ginza, Tokyo. The video, which has already been viewed over 700,000 times on You Tube, features Shinya using his magic skills and an iPad to demonstrate how communication has developed over the centuries, from smoke signals to words and books, right up to the present day with smartphones. He does this with a combination of real props such as doves and cheese, and a corresponding display on the iPad. It really is very clever and inventive, even if Apple might have had something to do with putting the whole thing together, as the more cynical commentators out there suspect!
Shinya has been a magician since 2000, and performing professionally since 2007. You can learn a little more about him at his website, let's hope all this international fame the video has garnered will inspire him to come up with some more iPad magic, as it's pretty amazing stuff to watch.

FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas -- During spring break, preschoolers swarmed the Middle School and Teen Center racing around the gym, coloring in the craft room and hung out waiting for a treat from the kitchen.
Teens from the Torch Club, Sports Club, the Smart Girls and Passport to Manhood clubs planned and implemented activities for the Child Development Center preschoolers March 16 and 18 as a way to accumulate community service hours.
"The CDC children use the facility weekly," Vince Allen, youth director, Child, Youth & School Services explained, the teen leadership clubs try to come up with planned activities for the 3 to 5 year olds quarterly.
Last quarter the teens planned a story time and cookie making session for the kids. This time the teens planned physical activity events. The preschoolers were divided into three groups with the teens supervising the activities.
"The teens run all the activities, we [teachers] hang back and let them do their thing," said Jill Marcott, Start Smart coordinator.
"I like having treats over here," said 4-year-old Sydney Trent, as she colored her picture with 15-year-old, Rebecca Mayo.
"I love it [when the little kids] come over here [to the Middle School and Teen Center]. I like seeing them having a good time and seeing them smile," said Mayo.
"I like to color," said Cerina Jones, 5.
"Me too," said Isabella Owen, 4.
"We all worked together to come up with the games," said Davano Ohaver, 16, "[The kids] just really want to have fun, they don't want to be structured; they just want to run around."
"I have fun with the kids; I like to try to remember their names. It's fun," said Ohaver.
"This program is awesome. The teachers love it - the kids love it, it's great," said Marcott. "This facility is beautiful."
"Our teens benefit because they get the opportunity to mentor to the younger kids," said Allen. "It's a win-win for everyone."

Love Happens (PG-13)
You'll never guess what happens ...
By Connie Ogle, The Miami Herald
Love Happens is an incredibly lazy movie -- that scintillating title sounds as if someone spent a whole two seconds pondering over it -- but not an unbearable one, thanks to Aaron Eckhart's charm and the fact that the storyline focuses more on his wounded grief counselor than on his budding relationship with a quirky Seattle florist (Jennifer Aniston).
Eckhart plays charismatic self-help guru Burke Ryan, a widowed Ph.D. who writes books and runs workshops aimed at guiding people to confront their grief and move on, though he is not smart enough to realize that releasing a tame cockatoo into the Cascade wilderness is not an act of kindness but animal cruelty. More on that later. Burke is fond of offering such advice as ``If you don't pay the piper, he will come calling,'' but is quite incapable of facing the truth about the trauma in his past. And so he is reduced to pouring vodka into the lemonade he makes when life dumps a big mess of lemons on him.
Then he meets Eloise (Aniston, as bland and sitcommy as ever), who's supplying floral displays for the hotel at which he is staying. He's intrigued that she scribbles odd words (``quidnunc,'' for example) behind the paintings in the hallway. This is the sort of bizarre and pointless act that stands in for actual character development; we never really learn her motivation.
Burke and Eloise don't immediately hit it off; then they do. And soon Burke is forced to deal with his demons, one of whom is his angry father-in-law (Martin Sheen), owner of the aforementioned cockatoo Burke steals in a scene so over-the-top it belongs in another movie.
Counting the clichés in Love Happens is easy enough, from the boasts of Burke's cocky agent (Dan Fogler) to the kookiness of an underused Judy Greer as Eloise's employee to the moment when Burke finally comes clean in front of an audience (one guy starts clapping slowly; others join in; applause builds to a crescendo, etc.). The endless gratuitous shots of the Space Needle and lots of rain serve to remind us that the film is set in Seattle, although apparently the airport has relocated to Pike Place Market.
All of this adds up to one mediocre movie, but Eckhart (who uses the same big killer grin he wielded in the much-better Thank You for Smoking) is always appealing, and happily his face does not melt off as it did in The Dark Knight. Charm can only carry a movie so far, of course. Love Happens is not destined to stick with us or become a romcom classic. It just . . . happened.

The FDA warned last month that doctors shouldn't use surgical cutting tools called laparoscopic power morcellators to remove common uterine growths in the "vast majority of women" because they could worsen hidden cancers. The stark announcement capped nearly a year of FDA review. But it also came 19 years after the FDA first approved a power morcellator for gynecology, as The Wall Street Journal reports, raising questions about how the FDA's regulatory system works.

According to german "Pirouette" FS magazine :
SP - "BMG"(Blue Men Group)
Any thoughts?
According to german "Pirouette" FS magazine :
SP - "BMG"(Blue Men Group)
Any thoughts?
I think the Blue Man Group will be the 'cadence type' music as was the tick tock time machine. Not much reason to flow with that music. It is strictly staccato. I didn't see 1492 and I don't remember the music from elsewhere. Anyone know if the music can get the viewer into an emotion?
I have to say I'm not familiar with "BMG". Can anyone tell me if it was used by any other skater or what songs do they have?
Nevermind, I just listened to some bits... very interesting music! I like it! I think it actually suits him, now it remains to be seen what he can do with it.

1492 was used by Todd Eldredge when he won the bronze at Worlds in the 2000-2001 season. Elvis also used it (I think in 95-96). I think of the music as vintage Todd - soundtrack building to dramatic conclusion. I like it for skating, but Todd did a great job of landing all the jumps on the right beats. It will be interesting to see what Brian does with it.
Watching and listening to Joubert's Matrix last year, I think he was not only on the beat of the music, but also on the pulse of it. I don't remember a performance where he didn't hold his phrases or use speed changes to interpret the music. He should do well with 1492. I wish the music were more interesting, and not another in a series of soundtracks.Originally Posted by Gardenkitty
Anita Hartshorn and Frank Sweiding also skated to the 1492 soundtrack which was composed by Vangelis. They had a more literal interpretaion of the movie with Anita representing the ships and Frank the navigator. The most memorable parts of the program were the first lift and when Anita uses a prop as a sail.

Edited: Oops, didn't see the other reply. Sorry for the duplicate.
You are correct
When I was in Connecticut I saw him practice 1492 and it looked just like something Yagudin would do. When I asked him about the short he stated that it was BMG. His mother wanted this to be a surprise. Ah well....
Wow, "1492" is certainly an interesting choice. I will always see that as Elvis's music. And yes...the movie was beyond horrible, but the music was actually one of the film's only saving graces. I think he'll do a great job with it.
The Blades on Ice website also mentions some other skater's music choices. I think Brian will do a great job with his music.
1492 will always be Elvis's music - the way the music builds suited Elvis's powerful skating style. I think Joubert will skate well to it, he is a powerful jumper.
lol, I always think of Chat and Sakhnovsky's 2000 FD when I think of 1492. Probably because it's my favorite C&S program. TT choreo'd that and I'm sure (or should I say hope) she won't dissapoint with Joubert's.Originally Posted by Ladskater
I remember Hartshorn & Sweiding's interpretation of 1492 which I really enjoyed. I loved Elvis' brilliant performance of 1492 during 1996 Worlds (especially after what happened during his short program ), although I thought the music cuts were kind of jarring. When Todd decided to skate to it, I went nuts (especially over his performance of it at 2001 Worlds) This is a movie I have no intention of seeing, but do I adore the whole soundtrack!
That said, I will be very interested in seeing what Brian does with it. "1492" is powerful music, to be sure. I have no idea about his SP music, but I certainly wish him well this season.

I'm a bit disappointed he's using 1492 since it's been used quite a lot (didn't meno and Sand use ot as well??) , but i'm sure he can live up to Todd and Elvis. I'm scared this is going to be totally cheesy.
I remember that version. I personally think it was their best work, as well.Originally Posted by thvudragon
I wonder what a ladies' skater can do with 1492, since practically every discipline but ladies has used it.

>Every fall Hollywood uses the Toronto Film Festival (Sept. 7-16) as a launching pad for movies it hopes will fly high come awards time. Here is Leah Rozen's guide to festival hits—and misses
SECOND TIME AROUND If you saw Capote last year, expect to experience déjà vu with Infamous. Like the previous, Oscar-nominated film, it reveals how novelist Truman Capote came to write his nonfiction masterpiece In Cold Blood. Here, British actor Toby Jones plays an impish Capote and Sandra Bullock is impressive as his pal Harper Lee. And it's pretty good—just not quite as good as the 2005 version. Opens Oct. 13.
DON'T MAKE US SAY IT AGAIN Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is the pause-for-breath title of an outrageously rude and crude comedy starring English funnyman Sacha Baron Cohen (of HBO's Da Ali G Show). The laughs never stop as his character, a TV reporter from Kazakhstan, travels across the U.S. in hopes of meeting Pamela Anderson. Borat arrives Nov. 3.
NOTHING TO CROWE ABOUT The last time Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott teamed, they made the Oscar-winning Gladiator. Together again for A Good Year, the result is a fluffy comedy about an Englishman who inherits a French villa and vineyard. It's palatable plonk in a fancy bottle. Year uncorks Nov. 10.
PAGING OSCAR For Your Consideration, a hilarious comedy from director Christopher Guest (Best in Show), centers on actors caught up in Oscar hype. But Catherine O'Hara is so spot-on as a pathetic hopeful—wait until you see her character's post-facelift look—that she actually deserves consideration come nomination time. Starts Nov. 17.
OUT OF AFRICA Political unrest in Africa provides the focus of the inspiring Catch a Fire and energetic The Last King of Scotland. Derek Luke gives a powerful performance in the first, playing a real-life South African driven to battle apartheid after being falsely arrested. In King, Forest Whitaker cuts loose in a mesmerizing turn as Ugandan despot Idi Amin. Fire is due Oct. 27; King, Sept. 27.

People always complain that government rubs them the wrong way, that it needs to be more entrepreneurial. Last year, a Washington state employee tried to address both those problems, and people are still complaining.
According to The Associated Press, a state Department of Ecology employee training to become a massage therapist gave 85 hours of free massages, part of her practice homework, to fellow employees during work time in the department's Wellness Room.
The employee, who was in the department's spills program, no longer works for the agency. Dissatisfaction with the massages doesn't seem to be the reason, at least not from a consumer perspective.
In fact, she has now opened up her own massage therapy practice in Bellevue, a clear instance of government encouraging the private sector. Still, concluded the Washington State Auditor's Office stuffily, "We found reasonable cause to believe an improper governmental action occurred."
Contacted by The Olympian, Shannon M. Cline insisted, "My supervisor knew and was aware, and also the building manager. I was using the room used for wellness. I received no compensation. I never promoted my business. I didn't even have a business at that point. It was an idea.
"I thought I was doing everything right."
After all, everyone says government should reach out and touch people.

Quick background: Couple of months ago, I stumbled across my old copy
of RedHat which I had never got around to using, and decided the next
time I installed Windows, I'd try Linux again. Bought a couple of
books, read up.
Bought a new motherboard, without checking to see if the vendor
supports Linux. Gigabyte most definitely does not. They say check
the chip set manufacturer website.
I installed WindowsXP, then Windows Vista, in dual boot configuration.
Found that Vista had a useless interface, so booted back into xp,
which had somehow been slowed to nearly unusable. And an old version
of Partition Magic damaged my Vista partition, so I restarted, this
time without Vista.
When I tried to install Linux in dualboot mode, the only Linux cd
which would work, trashed my Windows install.
I tried again, this time putting Linux on a second hard drive, and
using the bios to switch between drives. I installed four distros of
Linux, and wound up with only Debian working.
Meanwhile, on my parents' computers, I had Ubuntu installed, and found
it was much friendlier than Debian. I had trashed my Windows by this
time, trying to find software that would work with my dvd recorder
that knew what to do with an iso.
So I wiped my Linux disk and installed XP on it. I tried to run
Ubuntu from the live cd, but nothing ever happened.
All this time, I've still been running my old computer next to the new
one. I finally decided to make the new one my main one, and pulled
the spare video card out of the old to put in the new.
Out of curiosity, I decided to see how Ubuntu would work now. It
actually boots now. But for some reason, it boots on the older card,
but the desktop displays only on the new card. Even though it
wouldn't even boot when all I had was the new card.
By the way, the motherboard is based on the Nvidia Nforce 570 sli
chipset. The new videocard is an MSI GeForce nx8400gs. The old card
is an evga GeForce 7600 GT.

He is one of five candidates being considered to stand in the next general election.
He now has until November 1 to convince Labour Party members in the constituency that he is the man to get the seat back from the Tories, after Brian Binley MP took it from Labour in 2005.
Cllr Loakes grew up close to Northampton but has not lived there since he went to University.
He has been a councillor in Waltham Forest for ten years and leader for five.
He said that although he considers London his home he still has a connection with Northampton.

I do it routinely.
1. Modify Configure script, adding target

2. Modify Makefile shared so it would call
util/mkdef.pl script. and add generated .def file to linking command
Note that DEF file should contain correct DLL name, not just crypteay32
mingw32 builds libcrypto-0.9.8.dll, and this name should exactly appear
in the .def file
3. Forget about dllwrap and such. Modern Mingw32 produce absolutely
correct dlls with just gcc -shared -o dllname,
if you specify .def file along with object file.

PROMOTING THE PROS: A Major League Circus
By Michael Spinner
There was simply no excuse for what happened at Hofstra Stadium last Saturday night. It was a beautiful August evening on Long Island-one of the best weekend nights of a summer where good weather has been the norm. It was one of those nights where only a fool would be indoors-cool temperatures, low humidity, zero rain…just perfect. It was a night in which supporters of Major League Lacrosse could find no excuses for low attendance at Hofstra Stadium.
Not only were conditions perfect, but the Long Island Lizards had a date with a local rival and one of the scrappiest teams in the league, the New Jersey Pride. If ever there were a night for the MLL to show itself off, this was it.But instead of something that league organizers could point to as a sign of prosperity or simply a hint that things were improving, what happened can only be seen as a disaster. The Pride put forth what was one of their best efforts in franchise history to dish Long Island a record third straight loss, but the real story of the game had to be that there was barely anybody there to see it. More people will see it during any one hour for the first week or two that the game is posted on E-Lacrosse than did live at one of the best venues in lacrosse. The crowd was so incredibly sparse that the usually hectic Hofstra Stadium parking lot was silent even moments before the opening face-off.
Jesse Hubbard and the Pride upset the Lizards
From my perch on the "other" side of Hofstra Stadium, across from the crowd, it became clear that something was very wrong. Not only could you see the gold "H" created by a series of gold colored seats within the blue section where the "best" and highest-priced tickets are sold, but the discussion among the players all over the field was perfectly audible.
A major professional league that is prospering the way we are being led to believe should not have nights like this one. If there were 1,000 fans in attendance it was a reach. There weren't too many more people in the stands than there were on the field.
Hours after the final whistle, I was stunned to read that the announced crowd Saturday night was 3,920. Unless nearly 3,000 people paid almost $20 per ticket but somehow became so enchanted by the NY Jets training camp promotional inflatables along the Hempstead Turnpike that they stopped to watch the grass grow where Doug Shanahan last ran (only hours earlier), there was no way that the crowd flirted with 4,000. Not even close. If you add up the crowd, the players/coaches/officials, the MLL support staff/cheerleaders/owners, the food and beverage vendors, the parachutists that fluttered over the lacrosse field before landing over at a soccer venue nearby (we'll get to that later), and Hofstra security…the number can barely surpass four figures. It was that empty.Let's face it. On a Saturday night when school was not in session, 4,000 people did not set foot on Hofstra's campus in its entirety, let alone the MLL game at the stadium. And the nearly one hundred cars in the parking lot didn't carry 40 people each.
On the flip side of the coin, the soccer game, played about a mile away from Hofstra Stadium, featured another "major" professional league with the best talent in the world, also trying desperately to make it. And with even 8 times the fans showing up for this particular contest, even soccer fans think they won't last too long. The WUSA women's professional soccer league game that night at nearby Mitchel Field, the site of the 2000 Major League Lacrosse Summer Showcase, was meaningless too. The New York Power put its 3-16-1 record on the line against the Washington Freedom in the final game of the season for the home team. Long Island sports fans had a choice between seeing the worst of the worst in women's pro soccer or the best of the best in professional lacrosse-a sport identified as a product of Long Island. 7,635 people were there to see the soccer game despite the fact that a die-hard could have viewed the game live on television (unlike the lacrosse game). In the Hofstra Press Box, the soccer game was playing on the television minutes before introductions for the lacrosse game and one reporter commented, "wow, it's packed there," after a shot of the crowd was shown.At that moment, one MLL big-wig in attendance simply put his head down when asked if he had ever seen an MLL game with stands so empty. He simply said we all needed to be patient. "The "product" is fantastic," he said. "People will realize that eventually."
And when exactly is that going to happen?
One thing is for sure, the formula this league is using is not working and if anything, it's actually taking steps backward. And the more an MLL game is presented as nothing short of a circus and sugar-coated by stories of success and fans flocking to the games, the less success this league is going to enjoy. From a business perspective, Saturday night at Hofstra was a disaster for this league. Sure, the product was pretty incredible and the game was great, but if this was a game between the Long Island/Hofstra Lacrosse Club and Team Toyota, the product would have been nearly the same…and maybe the crowd size too. But when the League misleads the public by announcing nearly 4,000 fans, it doesn't help itself. Lax people are smarter than that. Much smarter.
Less than 24 hours later, I tuned into the MLL "Sunday Showdown" between the Baltimore Bayhawks and Rochester Rattlers. The sour taste generated by the inability of this league to gain steam did not go away. Pro lacrosse's "Game of the Week" should be the one opportunity to present everything this league offers that sports and variations of lacrosse cannot. It really should showcase why fans should make their way to the games and eliminate the need to inflate crowd sizes. It's really the one legitimate marketing tool this venture has. But instead of presenting Major League Lacrosse as a weekend entertainment alternative, the "Sunday Showdown" has evolved into another ring in the circus, another exaggeration of reality, an infomercial for a league that has not met expectations. Despite all of their efforts, the broadcasts have only hurt the image of professional lacrosse. Some examples:
Instant Replay?
During Sunday's broadcast of a tight 10-7 win by Baltimore, the game's turning point was a third quarter goal by Jake Bergey that was disallowed when the officials ruled that Bergey was in the crease. The importance of the call was highlighted by announcers Quint Kessenich and Joe Beninati several times and even League Founder Jake Steinfeld mentioned on several occasions in the second half the importance of the call. When this happens in any televised sport, we see several replays from different angles to analyze the play-an especially useful tool for the fan who missed the disputed play. On Sunday, not a single replay of the disputed play was shown from any angle. So we were all left to imagine the play and at no point was the dispute settled in any way by showing a replay…but we saw plenty of instant replays of cross-checks, pushes from behind, and shots on goal. Was this yet another effort to sugar-coat the league and make everything seem so wonderful that even the officials were perfect?Didn't Dennis Miller Get Fired?
Quint interviews Greg Cattrano of the Bayhawks
Every week, fans are treated to a dose of Jake Steinfield during the second half of each game. Not a five-minute cameo, not a sideline interview, but a third-man to the party. For the first game, Steinfeld's presence was a cute novelty…but weeks later it is wearing thin. Steinfeld's charisma and enthusiasm for the league and sport can not be questioned, but is his presence on the air really helping the broadcasts? He has a habit of screaming "ooh" and "ah" after every shot, check, and pass and making every play seem like it was the greatest moment in lacrosse history. The overselling grows old, like a T.V. pitch for a fitness machine, particularly to a new fan of the sport. Which was really an amazing play worthy of the spotlight and which was simply good execution? It is impossible to know when Jake is on the air.Steinfield on the air is a cross between a less cerebral Dennis Miller during Monday Night Football telecasts and the "boy who cried wolf." His efforts to jazz up the broadcasts only take away from the games and his tendency to make every play seem so incredibly exciting that the fans should be at the edge of their seats takes away from the excitement of the truly spectacular plays. When you scream "whoa!" after every save, how is a novice fan able to make a distinction between the routine save and the showstopper? If the first groundball a fan sees is so overblown with praise, he might just turn the channel before the next actual moment of brilliance.
Jake and Quint
The worst part about Steinfield's presence on the air is that it takes away from a solid effort by the broadcast team. Beninati is quickly developing into the best play-by-play man in the sport and truly makes the telecasts enjoyable to watch, particularly in the first half. And Kessenich, who's color commentary is well-known from his NCAA games, has come a very long way this summer and he is usually right on-target during the MLL telecasts-even more so than he is for the NCAA games. The problem is that after a usually wonderful first-half performance, the duo in the booth are reduced to roles like Ed McMahon of the old "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson:JAKE: Wow, that was UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! The referee just blew his whistle REALLY loud! Only in Major League Lacrosse can you hear whistle-blowing like that!!! Whoa!
BENINATI: You are correct, sir.
QUINT: Astute, as always, Jake. The only way to hear whistles like these are to catch Major League Lacrosse games in-person. Don't miss it.
Giving it up for Gary:
It only took two years, but the MLL brass has finally taken notice that the Gait Brothers are responsible for the sport being as popular as it is today and are seemingly trying to make-up for slapping the Gaits in the face during the last two years. First, the Gaits did not participate in the Summer Showcase because they did not use Warrior products. Then, the greatest duo to ever pick up sticks were drafted way way low in the first MLL Player Draft, with Paul in particular going in the ninth round.We are lucky that the Gaits ever bothered to play after such antics. Especially when you consider that during an interview with me shortly before the Summer Showcase in 2000, the former Director of Operations for the league and suspected hand puppet for Warrior's Dave Morrow described the Gaits as "dinosaurs" who could not keep up with the younger talent of the league and fast pace of the MLL game. That same year, even Steinfeld disparaged some of the non-Warrior stars as too old or not up to the task. Since then, Paul earned MVP honors of the 2001 Championship Game while Gary has been his usual dominant self, ascended to Player/Head Coach of the Bayhawks, and single-handedly made the 2002 All-Star game an event to remember.
Baltimore's graying Gary Gait is still the best
During Sunday's broadcast, Gary Gait was spotlighted five different times for his outstanding play, earned an on-the-air interview, and was the MVP of the game. After the game, Quint basically declared that he will name is children "Gary Gait" one day and the league itself is seemingly trying to save face by finally honoring the greats it once put down-even though Gary works for STX and not the wonderful world of Warrior.
As a lacrosse fan who has admired the Gaits since I first saw them play more than 12 years ago, this new effort to finally give Gary his due makes me sick. These same folks made him wear another number while his Syracuse heir apparent Casey Powell, a paid Warrior celebrity, adorned the 22 which would have no meaning at all without Gary's legend attached. This alone, likely turned off thousands of potential fans.
Long Island's Casey Powell and Baltimore's Gary
Gait now each wear the number 22
On The Bus To Columbus:
At halftime of Sunday's broadcast, Jake announced that there would be special transportation services to attend the MLL Championship Game in September. Perhaps it was finally realized that people in Columbus may not care about Major League Lacrosse and, as a result, fans in other areas can get a special price on bus-fare and a ticket to the championship game. So now, people from the lacrosse havens of Cincinnati, Lansing, Toledo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and South Bend-all of which have been renowned for their vast wealth of lacrosse communities-can live out their dream and spend their holiday sitting in traffic on a bus and watching two teams from nowhere near their homes battle it out for the Championship of a league they probably never heard of. Never mind that the league has done nothing to try to appease the fans of the cities who's teams will actually play on Labor Day and perhaps offer travel packages to fans from the cities participating in the Final. I heard that next week, the league will also offer bus service from Mudpit, Mississippi just in case there is an MLL market there, too. They buy lots of Abasizawhatchamacallits, in any case.Overall, the one area where league execs have it right is that they offer the best product in the sport. But, as I have noted in my last two columns, the way this product is being offered is what is hurting the league. By perpetually misleading the public as to the state of fan support and general success and happiness of the MLL and then presenting the games on National Television as nothing short of a sideshow, the league has approached the end of year three (including the Summer Showcase) in worse shape than it was as a concept. There is something that the women's professional soccer has done (other than the yellow referee jerseys obviously) in order to gain support that men's professional lacrosse has not done. The question asked all over the league and that will not go away is how long can this league last with such poor attendance figures. And that's the soccer league. In lacrosse, the answer may be all too obvious on nights like these.
The kids who come to the games seem to have fun

Whew. This fixes the bug where exposure preview in live mode could not be turned off in manual mode, which made live view useless with studio strobes. Tried it last night and it is now fine - now it's the camera I was hoping for, thanks!
bad no colur totaly bad
pl sent me camara settings
Where can we get the new firmware?
just follow the link provided - there you'll find all the instructions you need, as well as download buttons for both the Mac and Windows versions.
Dont like it at all, the original firmware was excellent in taking perfect pics in low light (auto settings), after the upgrade, its no longer doing so, I have to go manual to adjust A and S to get the similar results ....
Is there a way to downgrade the firmware back to original?

12-year-old boy Oli is making a big difference to families living in poverty in Bangladesh – and the country's future. A sponsored child, he is an inspirational member of a Plan children's group in northern Dhaka raising awareness of the impact of early and forced marriage on girls and their capacity to contribute to society.
The BBC broadcast a documentary about children's role in ending early and forced marriage in Bangladesh and has produced a special film for schools.
In addition to performing street dramas, Oli's group steps in directly when they hear a marriage is planned. "We go to see the parents and try to get them to stop the marriage. We have tried this on many occasions - sometimes with success and sometimes we are not able to stop the marriage."
The legal age for marriage is 18 for girls, and 21 for boys in Bangladesh. But many younger girls are made to give up their education to marry and raise families when they reach puberty – because they are seen as a financial burden with less potential to contribute to the household income than a son. Arranging for a daughter to marry an older man can seem like a good way to secure her future and a younger bride can mean lower dowry payments for her parents.
"Behind our parents' decisions to marry girls young is poverty – extreme poverty. If our parents get a good offer, sometimes it is very difficult to change their minds," explains Oli.
Early and forced marriage contributes to driving girls into a cycle of poverty and powerlessness. They are likely to experience violence, abuse and forced sexual relations, poor sexual and reproductive health and illiteracy and lack of education – girls tend to drop out of school shortly before or when they get married.
Tamanna is a member of the group along with Oli. As a 13-year-old girl, she is passionate about spreading the word: "Because we are the citizens of a developing country, our people are not very aware of the negative effects of child marriage. I would like people in the UK to help us by listening to our message and helping us spread the word. Tell your friends! Tell everybody what is happening to our girls all over the world. If everybody knows then we can make a change."
As well as raising awareness and intervening directly, with Plan's support, the group is promoting birth registration. Tamanna explains, "If girls have birth registration then it is much easier to prevent the child marriage because we can prove that they are too young. At the time of marriage, many parents say 'my child is over 18' because there is no proof. But if the certificate is there then we can say 'no, this is the age of your child, you cannot get them married at this time'".
There are 25 children in Oli's organisation and Plan has 60 similar clubs across the country. Plan has reached an estimated one million people with its anti-child marriage work while Oli himself has reached about 50,000. Plan staff in Bangladesh know of four child marriages that Oli's club has directly prevented in his small district of the Bashentak slum alone."Oli is an inspiration. Child marriage is one of the worst violations of a child's rights imaginable. It especially affects girls, robbing them of their childhood. Young campaigners like Oli are the future. His campaigning is influencing others and it's sweeping the country like wildfire. It's become a movement which is why it's reaching so many people," says Plan International's country director in Bangladesh, Myrna Evora. "In many ways, Oli is an exception, especially as he's a boy because, it's sad to say, that the mentality of men here needs to be changed because they think they have power over girls and young women."
Just £3 can help us fight forced marriage and keep girls in school. Join the Plan today by making a donation or by signing our petition to end early and forced marriage. By making a donation or signing our petition you can help girls complete their education and have more choices about their future.

NEW Madewell Jeans for Fall: New Fit, New DesignMichelle Horton
Madewell just relaunched their denim line for Fall — completely reengineering their jeans, down to the fabric. So if you loved your Madewell jeans before, know that the new collection is totally different. Maybe not in the way they look, but in the way they fit and feel.
We all know how frustrating it can be to have a pair of jeans look awesome when you leave the house, only to be baggier, saggier, and stretched out when the day's over. So Madewell opened up a denim design studio in LA to take a more hand-crafted approach to their designer denim — improving the most basic details.
The result? Softer, stretchier denim that holds its shape better than ever. No stretched-out knees or sagging tush by 5 p.m.
Prices range from $115 to $128, with all types of styles — whether you prefer skinny, bootcut, or boyfriend fits.
Shop the new denim collection at Madewell.
