Malware on the Mac: is it mostly hype or a real problem faced by real people? If you ask John Gruber, the answer might be the former—there are lots of proof-of-concept scenarios and virtually none that manifest themselves beyond a slow news day. If you ask Ed Bott, however, the answer would be the latter—he recently interviewed an AppleCare employee who claimed that the recent release of fake antivirus app « MAC Defender » has caused a spike in malware reports among Mac users.
The truth is hard to tease out. Partly because Mac OS X still makes up a comparatively small percentage of the global OS market share, and partly because Apple itself is a secretive company, it's not easy to find out whether malware on the Mac is indeed becoming more common, or it's simply being reported on more often.
Still, we tried to do exactly that. Ars spoke with 14 different Mac support specialists—including several Apple Store Geniuses—in order to get a handle on whether things have changed when it comes to dealing with malware. Their experiences are all over the map, but the general consensus does seem to lean towards a low amount of malware problems—until you get to the Geniuses.

◊ 2007-01-03 23:45
|It's a memorable car, but not a "star car" like the Bluesmobile or ECTO-1 (Ghostbusters). For a vehicle to recieve five stars it must either be pretty famous or used extensively throughout the film, like the Griswold Family Truckster in National Lampoon's Vacation or the BMW GS1100 motorbikes that Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman rode in the TV series Long Way Round (without the bikes there would be no adventure). I'm not sure Wayne's AMC Pacer is quite famous enough, nor does it play a huge part in the film. It certainly worth 4 stars though.

* What is the exact color of the one in the movie? Is it a original AMC color?
* Are the seats original? They look like the seats that usually had basketry print fabric, only they dont.

A change in Colorado law concerning the renewal of concealed carry permits for handguns has taken effect.
Concealed handgun permits must now be renewed with the sheriff in the county where a person lives, has a second home or where the person rents or leases property for a business.
Before, permits had to be renewed in the county where the permit was originally issued. House Bill 1166, which was signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper on March 14, removed this requirement.
Steve Reams, bureau chief at the Weld County Sheriff's Office, said Weld residents have a few options for renewal of the permits.
"With the change in the law, it's just a matter of coming into our office or one of our substations and turning in the paperwork to the sheriff," Reams said. "Or they can go online to www.weldsheriff.com to print out the paperwork and bring it in to speed up the process."
The Weld County Sheriff's Office is headquartered at 1950 O St. in Greeley. The sheriff's office also has locations at 2950 9th St. in Fort Lupton and 4209 County Road 24 1/2 in Longmont.
For more information about concealed handgun permits, go to www.weldsheriff.com.

PLACIDO POLANCO has been battling a sore back for at least the last week, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel revealed before Monday's series opener against the Brewers.
The veteran third baseman was not in the starting lineup, and was scheduled to be examined by team doctor Michael Ciccotti. Polanco also had the day off on Saturday.
"He started telling me about it in Los Angeles [early last week]," Manuel said.
While Polanco's glove work remains solid at third base, the 36-year-old veteran is on track to finish with career lows in batting average (.255), on-base percentage (.300) and slugging percentage (.628). After signing with the Phillies in 2010, Polanco hit .298/.339/.386, driving in 52 runs, while scoring 76. But his production has slipped as injuries have mounted: He appeared in 132 games in 2010 and 122 in 2011.

The hotel staff said be our guest, and for three days in a row the Kill Bill star serenaded people in the lobby with movie tunes. His final performance was late Tuesday night – two days before he was found dead.
"He was a great piano player," says the hotel's general manager, Aurelio Giraudo. "He was a man full of life. He was a very happy man. His face is smiling. A big smile."
Shocking DeathAs the mystery deepens around Carradine's death, police have remained cautious about coming to conclusions. But they did confirm the shocking scene when a maid found the actor's body. Carradine was nude in the closet of his luxury suite with one rope tied around his neck and another around his genitals.
"The two ropes were tied together," says police Lt. Gen. Worapong Chewprecha, the Associated Pres reports. "It is unclear whether he committed suicide or not, or he died of suffocation or heart failure." An autopsy has been ordered because of the "unusual circumstances" surrounding the death, says Dr. Nanthana Sirisap, director of Chulalongkorn Hospital's Autopsy Center.
Actor Appeared HappyColleagues and hotel guests who witnessed Carradine's demeanor days before he died described him as joyous and productive. By day, he was working hard on the set of his film, Stretch, and "things were going great," says one member of the production. "We were liking what we saw. We are as surprised and shocked as everyone else."
"Even though he's 72, he didn't look old at all," says the hotel bartender, who described Carradine as "strong, happy" and dressed in jeans and T-shirt.
According to the police, Carradine entered his room Wednesday night, and the door stayed shut until the maid arrived to clean at 11 a.m. on Thursday.
Toxicology Tests"The room was a very normal hotel room," says police Col. Somprasong Yenthuam. "Nothing seemed unusual, nothing seemed to have disappeared. The truth is, it was a very sad hanging."
Yenthuam says a complete toxicology analysis will take about four weeks and at that time, they will conduct a press conference to present their findings. "I'm very careful to not jump to any conclusion about what's happened here. It's my job to give the facts as best as possible. I don't want to make any conclusion until the autopsy is complete."
If suicide was on the actor's mind – a scenario those close to him say is impossible – it wasn't obvious to those in the hotel. According to the bartender, Carradine made a reservation for a table for himself and a group of friends for a gathering.
The date of the reservation? Thursday, the day he was found dead.

The question was "most popular" in 2006.
I answered "that" question.
I was nice about the 870 I posted, because I was a frogs hair away of typing 870 with gidgets, gadgets, fuzzy dice and curb feelers, it is not popular to learn how to shoot, it is popular to bolt stuff on and off, and buy skill and targets....but I didn't...:)
If I ever face a person with shotgun, may it be a PGO, with everything bolted onto it. Odds and Lady Luck in my favor that person has never shot the gun, and I will beat him like a drum with his own boy toy. I have done this in impromtu training with such a keyboard armchair commando.
Now ask me what MY top 10 guns are? Different list, and the 1911 at the top.
I want the person with the worn holster, worn bluing, and if a shotgun, plain vanilla , worn, scratched, bluing wear. watching my six.
Give me 1911Tuner with a Gov't model of 1911, a Kframe, his rabbit earred double bbl shotgun and his Model 94 in 30-30...my six is safe.
Smoke Rizen with his preference,
Old Fuff with his

Lee Lapin
...etc...not meaning to leave anyone out
Perhaps these folks are not using the 2006 most popular - they can shoot!

Thanks for those
I wonder if most are happy with what you bought
and what would be considered the ultimate
Very interesting. Ive listed them at
I got some in also from our usenet feed and some from the gun posters on our site and thought you might like to see them.
Im wondering what Guns rule worldwide ans what are allowed in each country.
Advocate was kind enough to answer
I personally have no idea...but I'd guess that the Ruger 10/22 must be one
of the most popular rifles sold today. Glock handguns certainly must be at
the top of overall handgun sales as well.
I wouldn't mind having a dime for every Mossberg 500 pump shotgun that
leaves the retail stores daily...I would think that the Remington 870
Express sales are right up there too.
I don't have a clue what centerfire rifle is at the top...Winchester is
gone, so that would leave Savage 11*, Remington 700 and Ruger 77mkII...at
least those would be the popular choices here in the Midwest.
You can't forget both the historical, and recent popularity of the 1911's.
But I definately have to agree with the mossberg 500 and the remington 700,
both here in norfolk and back home in north buttfudge, va.
In America? Rifle - Ruger 10/22 semiauto .22 rifle far and away
leads among .22 rimfire. SKS 7.62x39mm among centerfire rifles. AR-15
also very popular - but I doubt as many have sold as of the SKS.
Pistol? Ruger MkII dominates .22 rimfire field. No clear candidate
dominates the centerfire-pistol field - but the leading brands are
Glock, Beretta, Sig, and (maybe) Kel-Tec in current sales. 1911 and
clone .45 ACPs very popular.
Revolver? Taurus and Ruger - in a wide variety of models in .22
rimfire, .38 Special, .357 Magnum.
No question about the Ruger being the best sellor and probably the
single most common firearm around.
> SKS 7.62x39mm among centerfire rifles.
I would argue a bolt-action rifle in some 30-cal round (especially
30/06) as the most common centerfire gun. Again, there is little
question that the SKS is the most common centerfire automatic.
However, there are a lot of M-1 carbines around too.
> AR-15 also very popular - but I doubt as many have sold as of the SKS.
AR-15's are hundreds, if not thousands of $. I have seen SKS' for as
little as $100 or so.
> Pistol? Ruger MkII dominates .22 rimfire field. No clear candidate
>dominates the centerfire-pistol field - but the leading brands are
>Glock, Beretta, Sig, and (maybe) Kel-Tec in current sales. 1911 and

My wild guess is the 1911 colt is the single most common centerfire
>Revolver? Taurus and Ruger - in a wide variety of models in .22
>rimfire, .38 Special, .357 Magnum.
True, Tauus and Ruger sell a lot more guns these days, But don't
forget all those S&W and (maybe) colt revolvers made for decades that
never wear out
Peter quoted me:
>> SKS 7.62x39mm among centerfire rifles.
and replied:
>I would argue a bolt-action rifle in some 30-cal round (especially
>30/06) as the most common centerfire gun. Again, there is little
>question that the SKS is the most common centerfire automatic.
"Bolt-action rifle in 'some' 30-cal round" includes a lot of
DIFFERENT model rifles and a lot of rifles chambered for DIFFERENT
cartridges (.308, .30-06, .300 Win. Mag., etc.) - but the SKS is ONE
model made for ONE cartridge. That's why I'd rate it easily the
most-popular centerfire rifle - of any type, not just semiauto - in
America now.
>However, there are a lot of M-1 carbines around too.
It's hard to say how many were brought home from various wars by GIs
- but one thing is indicative: there always seems to be a lot more
demand for the ammo that the SKS takes than for the ammo the M-1
Carbine takes.
No $6 admission!
>What are the Most popular Guns 1 to 10 ?
>In useage in 2006
>Handgun , rifle,automatic etc
In order of popularity in Texas: . 22 cal rifle (got my first one at
age 10), shotgun ( mostly 12 guage or 20 guage), assorted centerfire
rifles (generaly bolt action), handguns

Madeleine McCann's parents are marking her 8th birthday Thursday with a new book and renewed vows that their missing daughter will not be forgotten.
In the book, simply called Madeleine, Kate McCann describes the moment she entered the British family's rental apartment in Praia de Luz, Portugal, at 10 p.m. on May 3, 2007, and realized Madeleine's bed was empty.
Seeing the windows open, Kate writes that she felt "nausea, terror, disbelief, fear. Icy fear," and said to herself: "Dear God, no! Please, no!"
On the Find Madeleine website, Kate says she has been consumed all this year with the book. It's being published Thursday, "which poignantly and coincidentally happens to be Madeleine's 8th birthday," she writes. "We hope and pray that it will bring us the result we long for and that not only the book but this whole ordeal and heartache will be behind us before too much longer."
All proceeds from the book will benefit Madeleine's Fund, which Gerry and Kate McCann use to finance their continuing investigation into the mystery.
Last May, on the third anniversary of Madeleine's disappearance, Gerry prayed there wouldn't be a fourth. "The fourth one would be even harder, because then she will have spent longer away from us than with us," he said.
"There are days when I just feel like shouting, 'Where is she?' " added Kate. "Madeleine should be back in our family, where we know she'd be happy and loved."
Madeleine McCann Turns 8, and Her Parents Keep Searching

Robin Lopez did something at US Airways Center on Friday night that he did not get to do all of last season when he was with the Suns — jump center.
The Suns got the message this summer that Lopez wanted that chance to be a starter again when he declined what Lopez agreed was a fair offer to open free agency. Eventually, the Suns found a three-team deal that sent him to New Orleans and netted the Suns a first-round pick and Wes Johnson in return.
Lopez, who was booed during player introductions, agreed to a three-year, $15.3million contract to become New Orleans' starting center in the sign-and-trade deal, but the final two years are team options — a curious concession by Lopez, but he is happy.
"Who doesn't want to start, first of all?" said Lopez, who started 94 games for the Suns, including some after Marcin Gortat's arrival. "It wasn't so much starting, but maybe more minutes and just a fresh opportunity.
"I think it was something definitely that was needed for both myself and the Suns as well."
Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby preceded free agency with a statement that the Suns intended to match any offer within reason on Lopez, a restricted free agent. The Suns made Lopez and Michael Beasley their first free-agency targets, meeting each player in person in Los Angeles.
Told the Suns expressed full intent to re-sign him, Lopez chuckled Friday. He said it was too early in the process for him to make a July1 commitment.
"You never really know what's going on," Lopez said. "All I know is what I was thinking at the time and I was just trying to weigh my options, and I know Phoenix was one of those options for me. They definitely made a fair offer. I just think it was time for a change."
Lopez entered Friday night averaging career highs in scoring (11.2 points per game) and rebounding (5.8 per game) while shooting 49 percent from the field and cutting his fouls down to only two per game.
"He's ducking in and catching the ball," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "He seems to be involved in the offense and doing a good job. He still blocks shots. He's still a big guy down there trying to protect the basket."
Free throws
Jared Dudley on this week's starting lineup change: "Any time you struggle, you've got to look at the team. You don't ever expect it to be Gortat or Goran (Dragic). Me and (Luis) Scola have to come off the bench and work on it and bring the same energy as we would as starters but keep that second unit going because they've been more successful this year."
With post-up players in Scola and Jermaine O'Neal now teaming up off the bench, the Suns could wind up with two different offensive looks, like they had last season with starters and reserves. "It definitely could be," Gentry said. "We'll try to remain consistent with what we're doing, but, as coaches, we'll try to make adjustments."
Gentry on Beasley's struggles: "He has to continue to try to get a rhythm and try to fit in to what we are trying to do offensively and things like that. We've tried to put him in a situation where he can be successful. He has to adjust and understand that some of that stuff has to happen. He will have to create it."
Entering Friday night, the Suns had taken 10 charges as a team, with Scola taking seven of them. Gortat (two) and Sebastian Telfair (one) had the others.
Markieff Morris has improved his shot selection from taking a 3-pointer once in every 3.5 shots last season to once every 6.8 shots this season entering Friday night.
NBATV added the Suns' Dec.22 game at Portland to its schedule. The game still is on Fox Sports Arizona.
The Suns leave today for a six-game road trip that will cover 6,301 miles, visiting Philadelphia, Cleveland, Detroit, Toronto, New York and Memphis.

Medellín RECOMMENDATIONS See all
Nightlife in Medellín
By Ernest White, February 2013
Almost any night of the week, the party starts in and around Parque Lleras, a vibrant patch of green in the El Poblado district surrounded by bars and nightspots, as well as a few hotels and hostels. Some of the more popular nightspots in this area include the luxe B-Lounge and megaclub Babylon Discoteca, both featuring "crossover" music—a motley but danceable mix of salsa, vallenato, pop, and electronica.
Editor's Note: This recommendation was taken from our Medellin Things to Do blog. Visit the original post to continue reading the full post and to learn more about things to do in the Medellin.

text: Rustenburg - Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune said his team will use their hunger to overcome Sierra Leone in their final 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Nelspruit on Saturday. "I can compare this week and our preparations to the one we had ahead of our first meeting with Egypt," said Khune. "A lot of people didn't believe that we had it in us to beat the Pharaohs, but we did it. "Now we have to do it again this week. We are hungry, and most importantly, we are at home and have the support of the nation." Bafana beat Egypt, the current African champions, 1-0 at Ellis Park in March courtesy of a late Katlego Mphela strike. An injury-depleted Bafana went on to garner a credible 0-0 draw in Cairo in June to end any chances of Egypt qualifying. This brought down the curtain on a dominant era for the Pharaohs who had made wholesale coaching and playing changes since. As a senior player, Khune has the duty of marshalling the team's defence against the Leone Stars in ensuring that they don't concede in their pursuit of the three points. Their fate, however, will be determined in Cairo when a new-look Egypt, with new American coach Bob Bradley at the helm for the first time, take on log-leading Niger. The Kaizer Chiefs shot stopper has also come under the spotlight in recent times with below par displays and uncharacteristic errors between the sticks at club level. This has forced the 23-year-old to shut down his social network accounts to allow him to concentrate on regaining his optimum performance. "Being a keeper, your performance is mostly judged on not conceding," Khune said. "But I'm here to help Bafana and ensure that we come out victorious and strongly believe that we can do it."

Carolina Oaks Bed & Breakfast Inn is southern comfort in the heart of the historic district of North Augusta, South Carolina's riverfront founded by James U. Jackson in 1906. The Inn is located in the middle of the CSRA-Central Savanah River Area which travels from Aiken, South Carolina's Thoroughbred Country to Augusta, Georgia's home of the Masters Golf Tournament.
A home away from homeYour Innkeepers, Kenny and Rachel Franklin have always had a passion for helping others and have chosen to style their inn to provide simple southern comfort. As life-long CSRA residents, they enjoy assisting thier guests with area information, history reccommendations and genuine hospitality. The long shady porches and simple luxuries embody the feel and atmosphere at Carolina Oaks. Enjoy the spacious common areas downstairs; then retire to one of the three guest rooms upstairs named for the past owners who created history in this beloved place.
Each room has all the comforts of home with queen-size beds and sitting areas. Enjoy the hospitality center right outside your door. Relax to a good night's sleep to leave you rested for the morning's full breakfast in the dining room. For the early risers on the go or those who want to enjoy their cozy bed past serving time, there are other options for you.
Carolina Oaks Bed & Breakfast Innis named simply because it is located at 819 Carolina Avenue surrounded by massive oaks trees towering around the 1905 southern Victorian home. The name was thought of while relaxing on the porch one Sunday afternoon by the innkeepers in 2008. Eventhough the Inn is a new concept for North Augusta, it is original to the early 1900's where many personal homes were use as inns or boarding houses for the staff of the once famous Hampton Terrace Motel until it burned in 1916.
In 2005, Kenny and Rachel Franklin realized a vision they once gleamed shortly after they married while operating the local landmark restaurant the SNO-CAP Drive-In. In 1996, a historical home was for sale across the street which they considered purchasing to raise their family and then one day convert an area of the home as retreat room to share with others for special occassions and just to relax from the daily grind. They determined the project was too much for them at that time.
After a decade, the Franklins took a much-needed retreat to visit their son and found the the Barklin House Bed & Breakfast Inn in Newberry, South Carolina which sparked the fire again. In 2006, they were blessed to find and purchase this rare historical home to share with their children before establishing the home for the use of a small bed & breakfast inn in 2008.

- Conference date: Apr 1993
- Location: Knoxville, Tennessee (USA)
Pulsed‐laser irradiation of wide bandgap ceramic substrates, using photons with sub‐bandgap energies, activates the ceramic surface for subsequent electroless copper deposition. The copper deposit is confined within the irradiated region when the substrate is subsequently immersed in an electroless copper bath. However, a high laser fluence (typically several J/cm2) and repeated laser shots are needed to obtain uniform copper coverage by this direct‐irradiation process. In contrast, by first applying an evaporated SiO x film (with x∼1), laser ablation at quite low energy density (∼0.5 J/cm2) results in re‐deposition on the ceramic substrate of material that is catalytic for subsequent electroless copper deposition. Experiments indicate that the re‐deposited material is silicon, on which copper nucleates. Using an SiO x film on a laser‐transparent substrate, quite fine (∼12 μm) copper lines can be formed at the boundary of the region that is laser‐etched in SiO x . Using SiO x with an absorbing (polycrystalline) ceramic substrate, more‐or‐less uniform activation and subsequent copper deposition are obtained. In the later case, interactions with the ceramic substrate also may be important for uniform deposition.

Waldorf College recently presented Victoria McQuillen, 20, of Wolfeboro, N.H., with a Hero Behind the Hero Scholarship.
McQuillen, who won the scholarship via an essay contest, said she applied because "being the oldest of six children, I wanted to show my siblings how important it is to go to college."
The scholarship provides financial support McQuillen and her family.
"I am now able to afford college on my own without having to have my parents pay, therefore they can save and provide a college degree for one of my younger sisters," she said.
The Hero Behind the Hero scholarship, which honors the spouses and children of active-duty public safety personnel (firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs and dispatchers) and military men and women, covers tuition for up to 24 months for one specific online degree program with Waldorf. McQuillen is the daughter of Chief Warrant Officer Scott R. McQuillen of the U.S. Marine Corps.
"After I graduate, I plan on devoting my life to helping other military dependents and wounded warriors," said McQuillen. "My dreams are to become a teacher and to help the children of military members, because we all need a little help in our lives."
Waldorf College, based in Forest City, Iowa, features residential and online degree programs in popular fields such as communications, fire science, criminal justice, business administration and more. Learn more at www.waldorf.edu/online or call 877-267-2157.

SHELBY COUNTY, Alabama -- Shelby County Sheriff Chris Curry is endorsing his second-in-command to become the agency's next leader.
Curry has placed his support behind Chief Deputy John Samaniego, who is one of four Republican candidates for Shelby County sheriff seeking the party's nomination in the June 3 primary.
Other candidates in the primary race are Hoover Police Capt. Kip Cole, business owner and investigator Rick Needham and Pelham Police Officer Larry McDow.
"I am endorsing John Samaniego because he has an investment in Shelby County," Curry said in an interview Monday. "He has been my number two person for almost 12 years, and he has been active and involved in charitable, civic and community endeavors at all levels: chambers of commerce, Leadership Shelby County, Board of Education, County Commission, Owen's House, just to name a few."
Curry continued: "He's been at every major crime scene, and that investment in Shelby County -- his integrity, his honesty, his experience and his capabilities -- is unmatched."
Samaniego on his website provides a list of other endorsements including the Shelby County District Attorney, some judges and commissioners, the Shelby County Chiefs of Police Association and mayors of Helena, Westover, Columbiana, Vincent, Harpersville, Chelsea, Wilsonville and Wilton.
He also cites support from leadership in Alabaster, Pelham, Indian Springs Village and Montevallo. The Shelby County Fraternal Order of Police and the Alabama State Fraternal Order of Police have endorsed him as well.
Needham is holding a fundraiser for his campaign featuring Richard Ivan Mack, former sheriff of Graham County, Arizona, on Thursday evening in Helena. Mack, who has endorsed Needham, will attend the event that starts at 6 p.m. at Magnolia Manor. Tickets are $75 and are available through www.rickneedham.com.
Mack is a Tea Party supporter who is the founder and president of the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association and serves on the Oath Keepers Board of Directors.
McDow's campaign has the support of Pelham Mayor Gary Waters,
who is endorsing the Pelham police officer. Cole said he will later provide a list of endorsements.
The four Republican candidates in the race will answer questions during a forum with Alabama Media Group's Birmingham editorial board on Thursday afternoon. Suggest questions in the comments section by clicking here.

Hey guys, I'm gonna be taking a ferry from Barcelona to Rome, and was wondering how this process goes down. I'm traveling with a buddy of mine and it's our first eurotrip.

First Timer's First Trip (Spain Maybe?)
I am a 19 year old female who is going to be traveling alone. Ideally I would love to go to Barcelona but I haven't made up my mind yet. I will be going in September of 2009 and I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. Like I said I am pretty sure I will be heading to Spain for my first trip. What hostels would you recommend? How much do you think I will need to spend? Should I stay in one city for 3 weeks of visit different ones? I am not interested so much in seeing a lot of Spain as I am immersing my self in it's culture.
Thanks for any advice
Recommended Hostels?
My best friend and I are traveling around Europe this summer and I was wondering if anyone could recommend good hostels in the countries that we're going to. We are looking for places in the city near bars, clubs, restaurants, and cafes.
We will be visiting:
What is the best way to get around?
My itinerary is mostly Western Europe.
I have a lot of questions so please bear with me.
Shall I buy a Eurail pass for the whole 2 months?
I was thinking of booking a flight from Barcelona to Nice.
Should I also book a flight from Paris to Barcelona?
When do you think would be most appropriate to ride overnight trains?
Thx in advance guys!
Rome to Barcelona
Would it be more advisable to take a flight from Rome to Barcelona or a ferry? We will have a eurrail pass… I'm assuming we could use the ferry as one of our "travel days."
Obviously, we would like it to be as cheap as possible, and a ferry seems like it would be a little more "fun," especially overnight. Any experience with this?
Any input would be appreciated. Cheers!

One of the most intriguing aspects of ballet is the dancers' ability to tell a story without ever uttering a word. Tonight at Charleston Music Hall, Charleston City Ballet gave a performance of Stravinsky's "Firebird" that was visually beautiful but unable to fully capture the strength and radiance that is the soul of this classic Russian fairy tale.
"Firebird" is the mythical story of Prince Ivan and the kindness he shows an unusual creature. After capturing the Firebird (Darli Iakovleva) while wandering in the garden in the realm of Koschei the Immortal, Prince Ivan (Anton Iakovlev) sets her free. The Firebird then promises Prince Ivan she will help him in his greatest time of need. Prince Ivan falls in love with a princess (Caroline Douglas Herlong) who he must free from Koschei's rule, and he calls on the Firebird for help, who is there the moment he finds himself in danger opposite Evil Warlock Koschei (Tevfik Vatansever).
There were some beautiful aspects to this production. The costumes, designed by June Palmer, were bright and shimmery. The princess shone as she spun in the arms of her prince, and the vibrant Firebird sparkled in her glittery, fiery-red tutu. The evil minions creepily skulked on stage, and their black, raggedy costumes dragged the floor as they crawled. It was quite the spectacle to behold against a background of trees that gradually changed from deep blues to flaming reds.
The dancers presented characters with emotion that translated into movement. Vatansever was the strongest; as he landed each leap with power, the evilness of his character was palpable. Herlong had a gracefulness and delicacy about her that made her a lovely princess, and it was hard to take your eyes off of Iakovleva, who beautifully embodied the movements of a bird. Iakovlev, however, did not radiate the fear of a prince caught in the underworld, or the strength of a lover.
When the dancers shared moments together, the true essence of "Firebird" failed to show through. There was a lack of energy; instead of strong moments of passion and chemistry, there was simply lovely dancing. This doesn't take away from the ballet experience as much as it does the story. The performances were good, they just didn't have quite the urgency, fear and intense love that a person might expect from a dark Russian story about a damsel in distress and the prince whose compassion for a bird saves he and his lover from death.
"Firebird" makes for an enjoyable evening, mostly because it is visually splendid. The dancers had some beautiful moments, and for anyone who appreciates classical ballet, it is worth a trip to see the debut performance of the Charleston City Ballet.

Blue Microphones has announced Nessie, another USB microphone with a unique design. It's an adaptive USB microphone that's aimed at making recording effortless by combatting the most common pitfalls. That means you can take the guesswork out of making great recordings and just focus on the audio itself. Nessie is plug-and-play compatible via USB with both Mac and PC and can be used with iPad's with an Apple USB adapter. No word yet on availability, but Nessie will retail at $99.99.
Nessie is meant to make recording easy, and it does it with a few really great features plus a pretty sweet stylish design. There's a built-in, studio grade pop filter and shock mount along with adaptive processing, including EQ, de-esser and level control. All of this works together to makes sure you don't have unwanted vibrations, harsh plosives or unwanted volume jumps.
Nessie uses a single custom-tuned condenser capsule with a carded pattern. It has three recording modes: one optimized for richer vocals, another for more detailed instrument recordings and a raw audio option if you don't need all of Nessie's help.
Additionally, Nessie has a zero-latency headphone output for delay free direct monitoring with headphone volume and instant mute controls right on the microphone itself. The head of the microphone even adjusts for optimal positioning.
Blue hasn't announced an availability date, but when it does hit the market, Nessie will set you back $99.99.
For more information about Nessie and to hear some sample recordings, check out Blue's website.

• A recent report suggested that neurons in the prefrontal, anterior cingulate, and primary motor cortex of the brains of schizophrenic subjects may be less dense than those in the brains of nonschizophrenic subjects. We have determined whether pyramidal neurons and/or interneurons are preferentially reduced in schizophrenic subjects. Twelve control subjects and 18 schizophrenic subjects were studied in a blind, quantitative analysis of the density of pyramidal cells, interneurons, and glial cells in each of the six layers of the anterior cingulate and prefrontal cortex. The results showed that numbers of small neurons (interneurons) were reduced in most layers of the cingulate cortex in schizophrenic subjects compared with nonschizophrenic subjects, with the differences being greatest in layer II. In the prefrontal area, interneuronal density was also lower in layer II and, to a lesser extent, in layer I in schizophrenic subjects compared with control subjects. In most cases, the differences were similar, although more significant, in schizophrenic subjects who had had superimposed mood disturbances than in schizophrenic subjects who had not had such comorbidity. Numbers of pyramidal neurons generally were not different between control and schizophrenic subjects, except in layer V of the prefrontal area, where schizophrenic subjects showed higher densities of these neurons. Glial numbers did not differ between the control and schizophrenic subjects, suggesting that a neurodegenerative process did not cause the reduced interneuronal density observed. Using multiple regression analysis and analysis of covariance, decreases in the density of layer II interneurons could not be adequately explained by the effects of various confounding variables, such as age, postmortem interval, duration of specimen fixation, or administration of neuroleptic agents. Two younger patients who had not received neuroleptic agents also had reduced numbers of small neurons, suggesting that reduction in numbers of small neurons is not due to the effects of antipsychotic medication. Reductions of interneurons, possibly ones that are inhibitory in nature, may occur within intrinsic cortical circuits, and may be an important aspect of the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.

Best Uses
These were a bit smaller than some seen in party stores but they were very effective and attractive. They appear in the photograph to have a washer on a wire that extends upwards to which balloons can be tied. The model received had a color matched twist tie that extended up. I felt that was more effective because it rendered a larger loop to thread ribbons that balloons were tied to. The anchor weight can be set on the floor as well, we did that to border a dance floor with streams of balloons to define the dance floor area in a large room. We used them to decorate along walls in a rented facility where we were prohibited from putting tacks or tape on the walls. A great product for balloon securement and to define spaces and decorate event areas without leaving a "footprint" on the faciilty. These can be used over and over again, giving a good return on the investment. The only problem; little kids loved them and wanted to take them home at the conclusion of the party.

Hot-N'-Ready Arena, haha.
I really wouldn't be surprised at all though if they don't take the corporate sponsor cash and call the arena something Olympia related.
"New Olympia Center" or something classy.
Then of course make back some of that money with tons of advertising inside of the complex and also having corporate sponsors for goal announcements, power plays, etc. Probably ads in front of the urinals too. The abundant supply of urinals we've all been dreaming of.

'Evil Dead' rises again
Resurrected demons and resurrected dinosaurs are helping to put some life back into the weekend box office.
The demonic horror remake "Evil Dead" debuted at No. 1 with $26 million to lead the box office.
The animated comedy "The Croods" and the action flick "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" tied for second place with earnings of $21.1 million each.
Steven Spielberg's 3-D debut of his dinosaur blockbuster "Jurassic Park" came in fourth with $18.2 million. That's on top of the $357.1 million domestic haul for "Jurassic Park" in its initial run in 1993.
Released by Sony's TriStar Pictures, "Evil Dead" added $4.5 million in 21 overseas markets, giving it a worldwide start of $30.5 million. Shot on a modest budget of $17 million, the movie is well on its way to turning a profit.
The "G.I. Joe" sequel, which had been No. 1 the previous weekend, pushed its domestic total to $86.7 million. The movie also added $40.2 million overseas for an international haul of $145.2 million and a worldwide take of $232 million.
"The Croods" raised its domestic total to $125.8 million after three weekends. Overseas, the movie earned an additional $34.1 million to lift its international total to $206.8 million and its worldwide receipts to $333 million.
Luke Bryan's triumph leaves him in a whirl
Luke Bryan said his head is still spinning after he won the entertainer of the year trophy at the end of Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards.
"I feel like I'm on the tilt-a-whirl," he said.
Bryan pulled off a dizzying upset, beating out the night's top winner Miranda Lambert, two-time entertainer of the year Taylor Swift and top male stars and good friends Blake Shelton and Jason Aldean for the academy's top award.
The 36-year-old Georgia native's reaction? He hugged the trophy and hung his head, appearing to fight back tears as members of the crowd at the MGM Grand shouted "Luke!"
"I don't think there was anyone in the room more shocked than him," Aldean said. "That's why I love him."
Though Bryan received tons of love before the ACMs because of his new role as co-host with Shelton, the idea of winning entertainer of the year was far from his mind as he prepared to replace Reba McEntire on the show. He told reporters afterward he was so focused on hosting duties, he had trouble remembering what categories he was nominated in.
Ephron documentary to air on HBO
Nora Ephron will be the subject of an HBO documentary produced by her one of her sons, journalist Jacob Bernstein.
The project, titled "Everything is Copy," will also have Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter as executive producer.
Ephron died at age 71 in 2012. She wrote such films as "When Harry Met Sally," "You've Got Mail" and "Sleepless in Seattle." Her last project is the current Broadway play about journalist Mike McAlary, starring Tom Hanks.
The documentary's title is a reference to Ephron's feeling that all of life's experiences provide fodder for a writer.
Snipes released from prison near Bradford
Wesley Snipes has been released from a federal prison near Bradford.
Snipes was convicted in 2008 on tax charges. He was placed under home confinement. A Bureau of Corrections spokeswoman said he'll be overseen by the New York Community Corrections Office until July 19.
Snipes has appeared in dozens of films, from "White Men Can't Jump" and "Demolition Man" in the early 1990s to the "Blade" trilogy. He entered the McKean prison in December 2010 to begin a three-year sentence for failing to file returns for at least a decade. He owed millions of dollars in back taxes.
Berry teams with Kors to fight worldwide hunger
Actress Halle Berry said she's a woman of compassion and fashion designer Michael Kors said he's a man of action. Together, they want to make a dent in the battle against hunger around the world.
They announced a philanthropic campaign Monday called Watch Hunger Stop that includes raising money through the sale of a version of Kors' best-selling Runway watch. For each $295 watch sold, 100 meals will be provided to children through the U.N. World Food Programme.
Berry and Kors are planning to visit places together where the meals will be sent, including Africa and Syria.
Berry, who is expecting her first child with fiance Olivier Martinez, said, "I hope we go while I'm pregnant, so I can talk about prenatal care."

U.S. Food Import Patterns, 1998-2007
Stay Connected
Outlook No. (FAU-125) 52 pp, August 2009
Using import data from the U.S. Census Bureau, this study examines patterns of U.S. food imports for fiscal years 1998-2007. Results indicate faster import growth trends for consumer-ready foods, such as fruit, vegetables, meats, seafood, and processed food products. Although the United States imported most bulk food commodities and perishable consumer-ready products, such as fruit and vegetables, from neighboring countries in the Western Hemisphere, it imported processed foods, spices, and other tropical products from more global sources, with rising import shares for many countries in Asia.

Big Spring Creek, Cumberland County, 2/24/13

Enjoyed a nice day out with a few folks on the site on Big Spring Creek in the Catch & Release Fly Fishing Only section. It was suposed to be a nice sunny Feb day only to have it be a little cold and closing out the day with snow flurries. The temps were in the upper 30's with a mix of sun and clouds. Water was in the 50's and very clear.
We had hoped for some BWO' and a couple of risers seen during the day, but nothing on the surface really worth talking about.
Best luck was with cress bugs then swinging sculpins along the undercut areas and along the elodea.
Interestingly we found a few brookies still spawning up in the ditch.

Neat cress bug imitations, dkile.
Great report. Only a few more days and everything will start again? I have a good feeling that 2013 will be a banner year for fly fishing?

And by the way that little sculpin picture is really kool. Nice job!

The cress bug patterns shown here are mine and are a version I custom designed (to the extent that anyone can really customize fly patterns). I've had several requests for the recipe of this fly recently. This cress bug is one of a series of flies of mine that I design using craft felt infused with acrylic paint and Softex. The process is complex and takes some time to learn with respect to thickness, tone, and texture. I've got a draft manuscript on these flies that I'll get together someday for publication when some other higher priority FFing projects are complete.
As can be noted, the naturals in this pic are darker. Big Spring has some enormous cress bugs and they (like sculpins) seem to get darker with size. The natural in this pic is over half an inch long and would probably be a size #12. The naturals in this pic also have dark legs. Cress bugs often have legs that are very light colored (so do crayfish) so I usually use white or gray hackle.
I've spent a lot of time gazing at scuds and cress bugs and trying to get my paint mixture to a good match. The pic below shows some of my flies with some naturals from Letort.

The most accurate way to describe FishIds flies?
Effin amazing.
I never got any of those cressbug imitations but I got a crayfish and a mouse pattern that look like they should crawl away. Neither saw the water and the mouse hangs from the mouth of a sculpture I have.
When you look at his flies you can see that it was more to him than just making something to fool a fish.

Nice cress bugs. That takes a lot of time to tie.
Another tie/refinement to really making these things look very realistic to the trout is by using a very similar technique to what you describe except instead of using a solid base (felt) for the body use antron strands. Not a pretty looking or durable fly but very effective.
Lay out the antron strands (colors of white, light/medium/dark gray, light/medium olive, tans, etc., you need them all) in a thin, flat layer up to 1 inch wide and 6" long with the strands all going the same way (use a small comb to straighten them out), coat 3-4 inches of one end with a thin coating of clear hard head cement using a dubbing needle, tape the uncoated end to a coat hanger and let them dry where you don't mind if some of the cement drips off (hanging them allows gravity to draw off excess cement so you get a smoother and more uniform coating). Once dry cut to a rough oval shape across the threads (you want the length to be a little bit longer than the hook shank length), wrap the hook shank with dark thread to create the darker center vein (and also provide a base for the super glue to adhere to) and then carefully dap a little bit of glue on the top side of the hook shank and glue the top piece on and let dry.
Here's where a rotary vice and fine tweezers come in handy. Turn the fly upside down and dap a few drops of glue on the shank and a few small drops on the antron and then lay the second piece on the shank making a sandwich. You don't want to apply a lot of glue to the antron just enough to hold it together. Too much glue will add too much weight and the fly won't float, roll and tumble right. Well, actually you can add more glue along the shank to provide a more durable fly but don't soak the edges with glue because if done right the antron sandwich should be firm/solid along the shank but the edges should be a little soft so the fly "breathes" in the water and the edges move and wiggle a bit simulating life. Once the fly is complete, let it dry and then trim the fly to the final shape. You may need to touch up some loose fibers here and there with a little bit of glue (if it looks like it really won't hold shape) but don't worry about a few loose fibers because that will help create the illusion of life even if it looks ugly.
To create the illusion of the segmented or darker areas take your dubbing needle and heat it to red hot with a lighter and then lay it across the body scorching a light dark line into the antron (my experience is lighter lines work far better that darker lines). While you can use a fine pen for this, I personally don't like ink only because ink is absorbed by the fibers and makes a well defined solid line that is too sharp and pronounced. I don't even bother with legs. Now for a real secret, instead of using all one color antron and making the segments/darker areas with a heated needle alternate lengths of say light olive antron and then a thinner length of a lighter antron (white or light gray), and repeat (darker should be slightly wider than ligher – notice the real ones). While much more time consuming, this will really give a realistic contrast/segmentation appearance.
This is not a difficult fly to tie but it takes some time to get the feel for it and when you first start be prepared to glue antron to your fingers and mess up the first dozen or so flies you attempt. These can be tied on straight or curved hooks. Tie them on both if you can in sizes 10 through 16. Anything smaller becomes a major nuisance.
Once again, this fly is not at all durable and it is a "one and done" fly so you can easily go through many of them in one day if you hit upon the right color(s).
What people don't fully realize is all aquatic insects have some degree of translucency to them (even black stoneflies) and because of this the sight pattern that the fish sees (perceived color, strength of silhouette, contrast, etc.) all depends on how the fish is feeding in the water column relative to the insect, the clarity and depth of water, and ambient light conditions.
So when tying a fly you are not trying to create a perfectly realistic looking fly that looks real to you out of the water but unfortunately doesn't show the correct sight pattern to the trout in the water under actual feeding conditions but rather a fly that may not look fully realistic out of the water but exhibits the correct sight pattern that the trout in the water sees under actual feeding conditions. This also is applicable to dry flies.
Once you figure out how these variables interact and you start tying flies that create the correct illusions and know when to user them, you will start catching substantially more trouts.

Yeah David's ties are amazing. You then add all his historical knowledge of place like BSC that he has I felt pretty lucky to be out there with him last week. We stopped fishing for about 30 minutes and got a personal guided tour of the ditch. Hoping he will share some of this on the site some time soon. We are all very fortunate to have someone like David on the site.

Simply amazing ties!
Half the fun of fly fishing is tying the flies yourself. I've done almost the same thing with my fave, the Woolybugger. I've made so many adjustments to that streamer...... it looks real in the water!
I have seen some "shaped lead" for tying cress or scuds, even has thread slots. I'll have to get some and tie some and post something in the tying section?
Snow tonight, but spring right around the corner. Daylight savings time in 5 days, and reg trout season opens in 3 weeks. Thank God!

Congress went home for the Fourth of July holiday last week. This is not to be confused with baseball's July 15-18 All-Star break.
In their rush to leave Washington, Congress failed to stop the interest rate on the most favorable student loans from doubling – 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. If not reversed soon, that increase will impose a potentially heavy cost on the millions of students and their families who have taken out such loans to afford a college education.
Conservatives concerned with huge federal deficits wanted to cut the scope of the loans, citing a Congressional Budget Office study that found they will cost roughly $100 billion or more over the next decade due to delinquencies. Liberals felt the government isn't doing enough for the students and their parents. If, as the study reports, the program will not pay for itself at 6.8 percent, imagine what that would do to the deficit. Others debated whether the interest rate should be fixed, as at present, or float with the market.
But there's one underlying question that most federal lawmakers overlooked; What about the obvious relationship between federal funding for higher education and the soaring costs of higher education over the last decade?
Former U.S. Education Secretary William Bennett has warned that college costs have climbed in large part because of that federal aid. That makes sense. Economics 101 students should understand that increasing demand for a limited good leads to higher prices. And when you increase the number of students, that's the result.
There is no question that federal aid to colleges and universities is a major cause of growing enrollments, which have climbed by about 40 percent over the past 20 years.
Yet the higher education lobby maintains that there is no reason to connect rising enrollments – which create expensive competition for students with newer, more lavish dormitories and other attractions – are connected to rising education prices. And the number of college and university administrators has doubled over the same period – another expensive shift. Of course, expanding higher education opportunities for Americans is a worthwhile endeavor – if it's managed in a fiscally sound manner.
But intensifying concerns about soaring student-loan debt, and what critics call the "higher education bubble," warrant an honest national debate.
And the looming doubling of student-loan rates is just one element of that crucial discussion.

Dennis is an expert headshot photographer with 15 years experience photographing executives, actors, doctors, lawyers, musicians and the occasional Irish Setter.
Sessions with Dennis are relaxed, friendly and fun. His goal is to show you at your best, using flattering light and body positioning to make images which exude confidence and approachability. This means natural smiles and expressions and no excessive Photoshop retouching (which isn't fooling anyone!)
Dennis offers quick turnaround and free online image hosting. He works out of studios in Baltimore and the Washington, DC area, and is also available for location shoots (handy for larger groups and people with tight schedules).
Dennis has gone to great lengths for the perfect portrait, including bedding down next to flea-ridden goats, traveling in dugout canoes and braving the DC beltway at 5pm. His work has taken him from the jungles of Colombia to the mountains of Pakistan, and from the White House and Vice President's Residence to the halls of Congress.
Dennis uses his mastery of natural and artificial lighting to convey whatever mood is appropriate for his client's needs – everything from dark and moody to bright and fun. His talents have brought him hundreds of portrait commissions over the years for editorial clients like the Washington Post and New York Times as well as for institutional and corporate clients such as Lululemon, the American Red Cross, Northeastern Law School and JP Morgan.
His work has won awards in the national Pictures of the Year competition, three Maryland State Arts Council Grants, an Arthur Burns Fellowship to work at the German magazine Stern, and two Fulbright Fellowships for work in Pakistan and Cambodia.
This blog is a glimpse into Dennis' life frolicking with rock stars, supermodels and billionaires (ahem). You can also see some of his recent photo assignments, personal work like his Hampden alley portraits and music video, and find tips for preparing for your shoot with him. There are also a few random bits like tales from his paragliding missions over central China and Iquique, Chile.
