3. It's all about controlling exposure
Most of those pictures appear to be taken fairly close to the subject with a narrow depth of field, which means probably either a wide aperture setting (smaller f stop number) was used or a very close focus. The shutter speed was adjusted to a fairly fast setting to stop the motion of the droplets. The problem you run into with some cameras is their aperture settings may not go wide enough, or they may not focus close enough, or their shutter speed may not go fast enough.
I suspect these photos were taken with a DSLR or at least some camera with a higher quality lens. The bokeh circles are nearly perfectly round which indicates a lens with 9 or more aperture blades. This is one indicator of a nice lens. |

7. I have this lens also
I haven't used it for close up photography that much, if any. I know by the specs it will focus pretty closely. I'm guessing you must have been pretty close to your subject.

2. Better and better and better and better
I love your experimenting and learning and I am watching with wide eyes. the second one, without the rim, would be my favorite. many of them would benefit to my taste without the rim. Like, turn the last one by 90 and get rid of the rim, how the drops glisten!
Great fun for you and us. |

text: Especially in the first few months following 9/11, there was a tendency among social liberals to equate social conservatives with the Islamists. All alike were theocrats, did not appreciate the value of religious freedom, did not share the liberal definition of the separation of church and state, opposed abortion, etc. Our enemy in the war on terrorism was "fundamentalism"; what we are fighting for was "tolerance," "pluralism," "modernity," and "the open society"–and these terms were, with varying degrees of explicitness, to be understood as liberals understand them. What we are fighting for, in other words, is moral liberalism. I thought that this analysis was entirely wrong-headed and, at points, became a smear. One reason conservative Christians should not be working with radical Islamists is that it gives credence to that smear–although it's not the most important reason.

Women in general have a deeper and more abiding interest in children than men have. This is necessarily true because mothers are more closely associated with their children than fathers are. In fact, in many homes the training of the children is left practically in the hands of the moth- er. It follows that women know more of the disposition of children, their wishes and their needs than men can possibly know. At present in the state of Tennessee women not being qualified voters are debarred from positions on the boards of education. Had women positions on these boards, the children of Tennessee would fare better than they now do in many places Professional politicians are said to have declared that a school board composed of men is much more easily managed than one consisting of both men and women. In the latter case, each acts as a check upon the other. If women were qualified voters they could serve on boards of education and vote on all school questions. Then the great-army of women teachers who outnumber the men many times would be placed on an equal footing with the men in their profession ,and merit alone would determine position and salary. Surely a condition in which both the pupils and teachers of the schools will be benefited is a desirable one, nay a necessary one for highest development of the schools. EMMA LEE RICE.

Foxconn CEO Terry Cheng resigns
Terry Cheng, Foxconn's CEO has resigned
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Terry Cheng, the now ex-CEO of Foxconn has just resigned, and is now awaiting approval of his resignation from the board chairman. Cheng, an engineering specialist, joined Hon Hai in 2007 after he had served ten years as Texas Instruments' president of Asian operation.
Cheng had only taken over for previous CEO Chen Wei-liang on January 1 of this year. Cheng's resignation has seemingly come out of nowhere and his reason for leaving is unclear for now. Terry Gou, current board chairman, is reportedly trying to persuade Cheng to continue on as CEO.
Foxconn took a hit of around $28.1 million of losses in 2010, but were able to scoop up some profits a year later in 2011 with around $9.4 million.

I am 21 years old and I'm wondering is there any other way I can fix the asymmetry in my breasts without having Breast Implants? Could I maybe having the left breast lifted? or fat taken out? Thanks!
Can Breast Asymmetry Be Fixed Without Implants?
Doctor Answers 6
There are alternatives to breast augmentation to correct breast asymmetry such as minor breast lift. To explore your options, consult with 3 - 4 experienced and expert board certified plastic surgeons.

Breast asymmetry can be fixed without implants and some have turned to breast fat injections as well as minor lifts, liposuction or reductions as other options. See my youtube videos on breast asymmetry
Web reference: http://www.bodysculptor.com/breast-surgery-chicago/
Fixing breast asymmetry really depends upon what the asymmetry is. It would be difficult to say without a formal exam.
Certainly we have many avenues available to make the breasts more symmetric. Which is best for you is impossible to say without a photo or face to face examination. You should see a local plastic surgeon to get a diagnosis first and then a treatment plan. If you wish you could then resubmit your realself inquiry with this diagnostic information. Then we could possibly give you a more detailed response with specific treatment to meet your needs.

Random Number Table Examples.docx - Section 2: Put It Into Action
Is It Really Fair?
Lesson 2 of 8
Objective: SWBAT apply principles of probability to make fair decisions.
Big Idea: Are random number generators and tables really random and is random really fair? Try them out for yourself and find out.
Set the Stage
I've found that students are willing to accept that a coin flip or drawing straws is a truly random and "fair" method for choosing, but often challenge a random number table or random number generator as not being as "fair". To help them better understand this I begin this class with the following question on the board:
"What is a random number?" (MP6)
We just finished a lesson looking a methods for random selection so I'm anticipating several responses in the form "It has an equal chance of being selected". My next question requires a bit more thinking: "When you say "equal chance" what are you comparing your random number to?" This usually follows a discussion as my students explore the difference between a method of random selection and a random number. I facilitate the discussion for a few minutes or as long as it's productive, then tell them that today they will be exploring a random number table and a random number generator to better understand how they can be used to simulate random selection.
Put It Into Action
For this part of the lesson each student should have a graphing calculator (we use TI84s) to generate random numbers, but if there are not enough available you can have students share. If you don't have calculators you can do this activity using a Random Digits Table or find a web site such as this one.
I might need to explain or refresh students' knowledge about how to use the random number generator so I distribute the Using a TI 84 Calculator as a Random Number Generator handout , ask if there are any questions, and tell them they have about 10 minutes to work through all the different options. (MP5) While they're working I walk around offering encouragement and trouble-shooting as necessary. It is likely that some students are still not comfortable with their calculators and will need more support. In this case rather than "hold their hand" through the worksheet, I using prompts like "What do you need to do next?" and "Does your calculator screen look like the example on the worksheet?"
After about 10 minutes or when everyone is done I distribute the Random Numbers Table and walk the entire class through a few examples of how to use the table to generate a list of random numbers. I check for understanding about the random number table using fist-to-five, then tell my students that they will be working with their left-shoulder partner to complete the next activity.
I distribute the Is Random Fair challenge and tell them they have about 20 minutes to complete the worksheet. I copy the class data table on the board and explain that each student needs to post their data for the calculator and for the random numbers table. (MP5) I also clarify that I want each student to complete the table of class data on their worksheet and answer the essay questions in their own words. (MP1, MP2) While they're working I walk around offering encouragement and assistance as necessary. The biggest struggle most students have with this is answering the final questions. For those who say they "don't get it" or something similar, I might ask "Do you remember the definition of random selection? How does that relate to a random number?" When everyone is done or after about 20 minutes I ask them to turn in their papers.
Resources (4)
Wrap It Up
I use two different things to close this lesson. First, I post the following definition of random numbers on the board and elicit class discussion.
Random numbers are numbers that occur in a sequence such that two conditions are met: (1) the values are uniformly distributed over a defined interval or set, and (2) it is impossible to predict future values based on past or present ones
I ask my students for a show of open/closed fist to indicate whether they agree or disagree to get the discussion started, then ask if there are any additions or corrections needed. When we have thoroughly discussed this definition, I distribute notecards and ask my students to write a "text" message to an absent classmate defining random number in their own words. (MP3)

I've done a lot of work for the teenage market, most notably for Mary Glasgow Magazines (a division of Scholastic) and Sugar, which may or may not still be the UK's number one magazine for teenage girls. For a while I drew many 'embarrassing moment' illos for Sugar, (I will post more of these in the future, they were a lot of fun to do) in case you are wondering where I got the idea to draw the girl farting in the boy's face. It's a true story!

Portfolio Week 01
A lot of the artwork on my blog will tend to be unseen work, pitches that were never used or personal work. But I thought I should at least post some of my 'bread and butter' stuff as a kind of mini illustration portfolio, so you can just search the label marked portfolio and get access to mine!

Who Killed Round Robin?
My entry for Who Killed Round Robin? is up today.
"Round Robin" is a game where one person starts a story and then others continue it by adding a piece at a time until the tale is complete. In this case, it takes the form of a comic strip, and it was my turn last. Please take a look. As well as myself, there are another six artists involved, all very talented. The quality of work has been remarkable so far and where the story ends up is a mystery to everyone bar perhaps Mystic Meg.

Trashy New Year!
I'm experimenting with photographic backgrounds a bit at the moment. If you take the photo yourself, it's still all your own work, right? I also really wanted to draw an urban fox.
And that's it for New Year 2008 week. I really appreciate the comments so far. Please come back again on Monday for more art. Have a great weekend!

I didn't do any Christmas cards this year, but I did sent out new year greetings to friends and family. I'll post a different one each day. This character may be a total mystery to you unless you kindly read my comics a decade ago. If you'd like to see him in all his glory, the Felt Mistress herself produced a cuddly version for me which I treasure to this day.

By – Jordan Kamm
A game about falling down a well. This mundane concept turns out to be an inspired retro indie with unique mechanics that's surprisingly addictive. Downwell is a procedurally generated Roguelike shoot 'em up with one thing to set it apart from the others-Constantly falling down an endless hole . Forever plummeting downwards creates some interesting game play. Only a few Ledges and small alcoves are the only thing that give you a moment to catch your breath. These alcoves also offer new gun modules along with some health, energy, or even a cache of gems (the currency used in Downwell). The only thing saving you from danger are your gunboots, which can fire bullets, those modules offer different gun types , or you can stomp on enemies.
The variety of enemies mixes up combat in interesting ways. Some can only be killed with the gun, others can only killed by stomping, but the majority can be killed by both. It is unfortunate when you misjudge the enemy and go for the wrong attack since every shot you take uses up energy. The only way to replenish your energy is landing on the ground. This however, will break your combo. If you kill 5 enemies in a row without touching the ground it starts a combo chain. The more enemies you kill the longer it gets, which in turn give you rewards such as Health, and additional gems. Therefore, determining whether to keep falling or replenish your ammo leads to some tense situations.
These mechanics may sound simple in theory, but require a large amount of skill to master. There are a ton of little tricks you need to pull off, and your reaction time needs to be impeccable to progress. Especially since each level adds more and more dangers, such as spiked floor traps, and even a breath meter. However, beyond this there is not much else to the game.
Unlike similar games such as The Binding of Isaac or Spelunky, there isn't much exploration. There are no secrets to find and no items that you get afters hours and hours of play. The different characters or falling styles are unlocked over time without much effort. Before too long, you more or less know your preferred loadout. Gun modules give you health or an increase in energy, so if you are low you need to decide if grabbing that health is worth switching up your gun or not. Also, after every level completed, you get to choose one of three upgrades. These include things like a friendly drone to help you shoot things, or just a one time heal.
Again, you'll quickly learn which of these you like and which are useless, but there are always times where you don't get the one you want and have to learn to utilize the upgrade. The replayability of Downwell comes more from making it just an inch further than before, rather than discovering new and hidden content. Trying to make it down with the different fall styles will give you new ways to play the game. There is one that makes shops really scarce, but gives you additional gun modules. There is another where you have 6 health instead of 4 but you only get to pick between 2 upgrades. It's interesting to try out the different styles, but ultimately I just stuck with the one that worked best for me.
The options menu is limited in Downwell, but it has enough. The retro era graphics shouldn't cause any problems and the game ran at a constant 60FPS. Non-graphical options are the way the HUD is laid out, the volume of the game, and fullscreen/windowed mode. One thing you can do in the menu is change the palette of Downwell. The game starts off with a nice red and white color scheme, but there are a wide variety you can switch use, and the longer you play the more you unlock. You can play Downwell with either a keyboard or a gamepad and works great using both methods. I ended up switching between them depending on how what else I was doing at the time. If I wanted to lounge in bed and play, a game pad it was.
Instead of picking up that morning cup of coffee or juice, throw Moppin the asking price of $2.99 for this game. There is enough to please both those who want to just have some chaotic falling fun, or master the deep mechanics. Downwell is awesome and action-packed even if you just have a few minutes to play. And you'll spend many many hours trying to reach the very bottom of Downwell.

Gophers football pre-game: What can the Gophers accomplish vs. Nebraska?
- 17 November, 2012 //
- Gophers Now //
- Tags :
There's no pressure on the Gophers against Nebraska.
If they lose by 20 points, then it would have been expected. If they compete for a half or throughout the game, then it would be a surprise. That's a pretty good position to be in Saturday, Nov. 17.
Now the Gophers just have to make sure they can carry something into the regular season finale against Michigan State at TCF Bank Stadium.
Will it be freshman quarterback Philip Nelson showing some signs of being the productive passer he was in the first half of the Purdue win? Will it be senior receiver MarQueis Gray showing scouts a glimpse of why he should be considered in the lower rounds of the NFL Draft? Will it be sophomore tailback Donnell Kirkwood taking a sizable chunk out of the 181 yards he still needs to become the school's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2006?
Notice a trend? To me, Minnesota's offense has more to gain from playing well Saturday, especially after struggling with consistency in all of the Big Ten losses this year (scoring 13 points in all four losses).
— In the two games leading into the season finale in 2011, the Gophers actually lost 42-13 at Wisconsin and 28-13 at Northwestern. They ended the year with a 27-7 win against Illinois. This time the Spartans will be the final regular season opponent. There's a good chance they won't be too happy with the way the season has gone. They might not want to be bowl-eligible as badly as Minnesota wants win No. 7.
— What will the Gophers do for their starting offensive line? Sophomore Zac Epping will start at center. His backup will be either Jon Christenson or Ed Olson. But Ed and his younger brother Tommy Olson could be in the starting offensive line at left tackle and left guard for the first time since the Syracuse game on Sept. 22.
— Senior linebacker Spencer Reeves is wearing No. 51 to honor former player Gary Tinsley, who died of an enlarged heart in April.

The only real jump out difference is the fact that in the children's game the 'bad' characters will usually bounce backwards within a cute manner and explode using a humorous puff sound (or just disappear) whereas within a game oriented towards older mature players, the characters are more inclined to be (somewhat) realistic, spraying a gusher of red upon their demise.

This game included large spurts of blood emitted from attacks plus "Fatalities" that might be performed on stunned opponents after their defeat. These Fatalities were gruesome animation sequences showing the victorious player killing their defeated opponent in a very vast assortment of ways. Gamers revelled within this new experience as well as the controversy around the violence caused mass hype that informed the less informed gamers the game was on the market. Consequently gamers unquestionably new game only to uncover what every one of the talk involved, thereby greatly increasing revenue.
Gimmicks are actually scrapped, along with the gameplay finely tuned, supplying the most robust and exciting title within the series for a long time. Controls are super easy to learn, but challenging to master, and look for the right balance relating to the two. The characters will respond instantly upon your command, sufficient reason for some time and skill, you may invariably be stringing together multiple combos and unleashing them in your opponent smoothly.

Momofuku Seiōbo
Voted by TIME Magazine as one of the Most Influential People of 2010, chef David Chang knows a thing or two about opening a knock-out restaurant. This week Belinda Aucott spoke to the head chef of Chang's Sydney operation Ben Greeno about life making Korean fusion food Down Under
Fresh from New York City, Chang is currently expanding his world famous noodle shops in key locations, Lucky for Sydney then that this explansion coincided with the $860 million redevelopment of the Star City Casino, which has just undergone a $860 million redevelopment comes complete with Chang's Momofuku Seiōbo.
Chang's Momofuku Seiōbo is now headed up by Ben Greeno, who recently came from Noma in Copenhagen. This week Habitus talks to Greeno about sourcing local sustainable and responsible food from farmers about how the opportunity to re-create Chang's signature Korean-American flavours down under came about.
long have you been in Sydney? Since July 2011.
you do time at any of Chang's restaurants in New York?
I work at all the Momofukus before I came to Australia, with the longest stint
at Ko.
did you first come into contact with Momofuku?
I met Dave at Noma a few years back and we kept
in touch after that. I even staged at Ko. Then we met again in 2010 when he was
in town for Identità London. We were talking about life and girlfriends. I told
him my girlfriend (who's Australian) and I were both looking to move to
Australia. He said he had a job for me.
A year later, here I am.
there any special areas of cooking that are really inspiring you at the moment?
Australian seafood and produce has been amazing to work with. That's where we
get our inspiration right now.
have the reactions to the food been like from critics and punters?
been lucky in that the response has been positive. But we can always be better.
is Sydney's China town holding up as far as servicing your food?
amazing. We get a lot of our dry goods from Chinatown, like sausage, dry
do you eat when you want to kick back and relax with friends?

NetBSD Installation and Upgrading Have trouble getting NetBSD on your toaster? |
Thread Tools | Display Modes |
X11 and Haswell Intel 4600
I recently made the jump from Debian to NetBSD. When I installed NetBSD, I opted for the Installation without X11. Afterwards I installed the modular-xorg-server.
I clearly have issues with my graphics driver. I do not think that it is yet supported, but I am able to get things working with the vesa driver. The problem I am experiencing is that, whenever I run say X -config /root/xorg.conf.new or startx even if the display is ok, I can not exit this interface without having to perform a hard reset. Even when I am in the tvm environment, if I type 'reboot' or I exit, my screen dies on me and I am forced to reset. How do I even begin to try and figure out what is wrong? It should be noted that I also have 'debian wheezy' installed on another partition and it has the same problems, that is, when I log out of gnome or reboot or shutdown, I lose display and I am eventually forced to reset manually. The chip is Haswell i5-4430 with intel HD 4600 graphics (onboard) I am happy to wait for the proper intel driver (which from my understanding may take some time) and use the vesa, but this loss of display/stuck place I go to whenever I reset/logout or shutdown sucks a bit to be honest. Has anyone else had such issues and if so, where lies the solution? I am not too keen on a graphics card but if thats the only solution ... Please help. |

I love my UGGS, the way they keep my toes so warm and toasty! Great gift for the snow bunny in your life (or really anyone who likes comfy feet).

The rough and tumble UGG gets a wee bit tender when decorated with a blushing floral print. Turn them down for a more casual look, or go full frontal romantic with the full length of the print.
Comfort and warmth now costs $140. Remember when UGG was a brand bought by poor people? :-)
Added 8 Years Ago from Neiman Marcus Online -
Looks great with skirts, casual dresses and jeans. Add long preppy socks or colorful tights. Great for lounging around too.

New research into the potential link between parabens and breast cancer has found traces of the chemicals in breast tissue samples from all of the women in the study. Parabens are commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics, food products and pharmaceuticals. As the research shows that parabens are measurable in the tissue of women who do not use underarm cosmetics the parabens must enter the breast from other sources.
Breast tissue samples were taken from 40 women, with the results showing that all of the women had at least one paraben in their tissue. The research, published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, was a collaborative study led by Dr Philippa Darbre, University of Reading and Mr Lester Barr, University Hospital of South Manchester.
The research team studied tissue samples from 40 women undergoing mastectomies between 2005 and 2008 for first primary breast cancer in England. In total, 160 samples were collected, four from each woman, covering serial locations from the axilla (nearest the armpit) to the sternum (breast bone). 99% of the tissue samples contained at least one paraben and 60% of the samples had five.
A number of studies since 1998 have raised concerns about the potential role of parabens in breast cancer as these chemicals possess oestrogenic properties and oestrogen is known to play a central role in the development, growth and progression of breast cancer. In particular, a link was proposed between the disproportionate incidence of breast cancer in the upper outer quadrant of the breast and oestrogenic chemicals in that region, maybe from local application of underarm cosmetic products.
"Our study appears to confirm the view that there is no simple cause and effect relationship between parabens in underarm products and breast cancer" said Mr Lester Barr, consultant surgeon at the University Hospital of South Manchester and Chairman of the Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention Appeal, which part sponsored the study.
"The intriguing discovery that parabens are present even in women who have never used underarm products raises the question: where have these chemicals come from?"
Key findings of the study included:
• One or more paraben esters were detected in 158 of the 160 samples studied (99%) and 96 of the samples (60%) contained all five of the most common paraben esters.
• The overall median value for total parabens in the breast tissue was 85.5 ng/g -- one billionth of a gram of parabens per gram of breast tissue -- ranging from 0 ng/g to 5134.5 ng/g. This level was four times higher than the 20.6 ng/g recorded by a smaller study in 2004.
• Overall median values for the individual parabens were highest for npropylparaben (16.8 ng/g) and methylparaben (16.6 ng/g), with lower levels for nbutylparaben (5.8 ng/g), ethylparaben (3.4 ng/g) and isobutylparaben (2.1 ng/g).
• There was a disproportionate incidence of breast cancer in the upper outer quadrant nearest the armpit and significantly higher levels of n-propylparaben were detected in the axilla region, closest to the armpit, than in the mid or medial regions. The other four parabens were equally distributed across all parts of the breast.
"The fact that parabens were detected in the majority of the breast tissue samples cannot be taken to imply that they actually caused breast cancer in the 40 women studied," said Dr Philippa Darbre, Reader in Oncology at the University of Reading, who also led the 2004 study. "However, the fact that parabens were present in so many of the breast tissue samples does justify further investigation."

The B7x pathway in the tumor microenvironment One of the key issues in cancer immunotherapy is to identify the dominant escape mechanisms during different phases of tumor growth and to devise ways to overcome them. We have identified B7x as a poorly characterized member of the B7 family of T cell costimulation and coinhibition. Our clinical data have revealed that aberrant expression of B7x is observed in a variety of human cancers and is often associated with poor clinical outcome. The hypothesis of this project is that B7x is a critical immune evasion pathway within the tumor microenvironment and blockade of this pathway generates therapeutic tumor immunity. Guided by our published clinical research with cancer patients and our strong preliminary data with murine tumor models, this hypothesis will be tested by pursuing three specific aims: 1) Elucidation of the functional consequence of tumor-expressed B7x in disease progression;2) Determination of mechanistic contribution of host cell-expressed B7x to tumor progression;and 3) Generation of therapeutic tumor immunity by targeting the B7x pathway. We have generated a number of novel tools and have assembled a multi-disciplinary team with complementary skill sets, which provides us with unique opportunities to address challenges and realize goals. The outcomes of this research will provide novel insights into immune evasion mechanisms of the B7x pathway in the tumor microenvironment and provide the basis for future clinical design of a new immunotherapy.
The proposed research is relevant to public health and NIH's mission, because our program will not only define a dominant escape mechanism within tumor microenvironment but also translate to new therapy opportunities for cancers.

I always feel like the changing calendar gives me the chance to look at life with a fresh set of eyes. While I know that Jan. 1, 2015 is really no different from Dec.
MORRIS — The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has awarded the city of Morris a $119,000 Parks and Trails Legacy Grant to improve the concession stand building at Pomme de Terre Park. The new building will include two new showers/bathrooms, an update to the old bathrooms and a community room for campers and community members to use. The project also includes a patio area and a remodel to the kitchen area of the main shelter. City Manager Blaine Hill told the Morris City Council in November that the building is constructed well, but needs to be remodeled to accommodate the need
MORRIS — In the second six months of 2014, county government had a shake-up, Chizek Field got an upgrade, and two institutions worked to recover from flooding.
MORRIS — During the last meeting of the Morris Area School Board in 2014, administrators took a moment to recognize outgoing board members Kurt Gartland, Lory Lemke and Robin Anderson for their service to the school district. "I always admire people who are willing to volunteer — because it really is a volunteer position — their time and their energies to make sure kids are getting a good education," said Superintendent Diane Moeller.
MORRIS — On Tuesday, the Stevens County Board of Commissioners approved approved wages for non-union employees and appointed officials based on a recently-completed wage and compensation study. The new grades and steps include a 1.6 percent cost of living adjustment built into the new scale. The county initially budgeted about a 4.5 percent increase in salaries to account for any changes that would result from the study. However, the overall salary difference between the old scale and the new scale was about $118,723.
MORRIS — Last week, the Morris City Council authorized City Manager Blaine Hill to continue working with the University of Minnesota, Morris to develop a possible solar energy initiative for the city of Morris. In November, Hill and Mayor Sheldon Giese met with UMM representatives and staff with Eutechtics, a clean energy consulting firm, to discuss a potential community solar power project. The meeting was a follow-up to a visit of a delegation from Saerbeck, Germany, to the community to share ideas about community power projects. During the meeting, the group discussed developing a
MORRIS — Members of the Morris City Council agreed with the assessment of Morris City Manager Blaine Hill: the chimes at Summit and Calvary Cemetery need to be play less often and at a lower volume to respect the rights of neighbors. Hill told the council Tuesday that the chimes have been an ongoing issue for years and complaints have come from more than just a couple of people. "They're too loud, they need to be turned down, and they shouldn't be played every 15 minutes — in the end, I don't know what the answer is going to be on this," said Hill. Council member Brian Solvie sa
MORRIS — The first six months of 2014 brought renovations at long-time area businesses, an electoral challenge and a major milestone for Morris Area's high school softball coach. Here's a look back at the year that was. January The first baby of 2014 was Flynn Dominic Copeland, born at Stevens Community Medical Center to Megan and Nate Copeland of Morris. He weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces and was 21 inches long at birth on Jan. 3 at 5:54 p.m. Flynn is the Copeland's first child. The community of Starbuck held a celebration for Dr.
MORRIS — The Morris Area School Board has contracted with the Minnesota School Boards Association to help coordinate the search for a new superintendent. Under a timeline for the search, the district could have a new superintendent under contract for the 2015 — 2016 school year by March 2015. On Tuesday, Superintendent Diane Moeller said her phone has been ringing "off the hook" since the the job opening was posted online.

In 1966, Adam West starred as the Caped Crusader on . One of the series' guest villains was Catwoman, played by Tina Louise. Eighteen years later, West and Louise were reunited for the raunchy motorcycle flick Hellriders. Both actors far outclass the plotline, which is the usual routine about a small town being taken over by skuzzy cyclists. Evidently, Adam and Tina survived the order of Hellriders, else why would they show up, none the worse for wear, as guest stars on a 1995 episode of TV's ? ~ Hal...more

Or a labweiner
Your schooling is not pertinent to this thread. Bottom line as has already been stated MANY times: it doesn't matter where the dilution gene came from. Yes it's possible that some of the background dogs bred to Labs in the early history of the breed had it, some of their ancestors were also black & tan, curled tails (Norwegian elkhound) etc., but for over 100 years the expression of dilute colors is a trait that has been expressly selected AGAINST by the parent club. Not because it's thought to come from Weim crosses (although most knowledgeable people think it did, since its existence was virtually unheard of before the Weim & Lab breeder Crist Culo started peddling his dilutes 30 years ago. Hence it's a disqualification. Further--there is no one of any consequence in Labradordom breeding them except beginner know it alls that see a quick buck.

I have yet to see a silver win or run at a trial or hunt test, for that matter I have yet to see even a picture of a silver with a bird in it's mouth!
Silver breeders are shameless cross breeders that see a buck and want to exploit it! The silver breeders are mills that don't give a damn about health, performance or improvement of the Labrador breed. They are in the business to sell trendy people an exotic! Sell it as a weimerlab or laberiner, but don't try to ruin the gene pool of the greatest breed of dog in history! Have some shame and think of those that breed, train and run truly great dogs, we do this out of passion not just to make money!
The Weim, is a great dog in it own right, that being said I would put a GSP, Llewellyn, English Setter, Field Red or English Pointer against a Weim in the field any day!

Both countries were Tutsi kingdoms for centuries before the colonial period. In the run-up to independence in 1962, the Hutu majority in Rwanda threw out the Tutsi mwami or king (Kigeri V) and became a Hutu-majority republic; but Burundi remained a Tutsi monarchy then (after 1966) republic.
The 1993 first democratic elections in Burundi were won by Melchior Ndadaye, a Hutu, but his assassination shortly afterward together with President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda led to genocide in Rwanda and massacres in Burundi. In Rwanda, the Hutu death squads were called Interahamwe and the radio station calling them to action was Radio Mille Collines.
In all Bantu languages the names of peoples have a prefix: the Hutu are actually the Abahutu.
The traditional division of Hutu and Tutsi, that the Hutu were southern, more Negroid stock, and the Tutsi were tall Nilotic stock from the north, was a stereotype imposed for colonial convenience in identity documents, and with not much truth among the mixed peoples of the two countries.
There were actually a number of small independent Hutu kingdoms under only nominal Tutsi (Rwandan) sovereignty, which however were absorbed into Rwanda in the early colonial period, typically between 1916 and 1930: their names were Bugama-Kiganda, Buhoma, Bukonya, Bushiru, Bwanamwari, Cyingogo, Kibari, Ruhengeri, and Rwankeri.

To Destroy Weakness
I am fairly new to the forums here so I thought I would go ahead and just give a little introduction. I have been training on and off for 5 years now but I only been really dedicated in the last 4 months. When I first started, I really didn't know much about training and nutrition, so I pretty much did 4-5 years of body part splits with sub par nutrition. I am now 6 feet 2, 204 pounds with bodyfat unknown (no belly but no abs either).I'm currently on a bulk that allows me to gain around 3 pounds per month of body weight (probably a good % of that being fat) and I recently started doing an upper/lower split called Lyle Mcdonald Generic Bulking Routine. I know my numbers are currently really weak, but here are my estimated 1 RM: Bench Press: 245 pounds Deadlift : 260 Squat: 180 I know my squat is really weak compared to my bench, but the funny thing is I still started doing squat and bench both from day 1, just had an extremely hard time increasing my squat. So here it is. In the next post I'll outline my current routine and then post forwards will be logs. Oh and as for short term goal, I really want to bench press 225 for 5 reps, deadlift 315 for couple reps and squat 185 for couple reps. I really hope I can turn things around this year and gain good size and strength.I really hope I can turn things around this year and gain good size and strength.

Email Overload? This Startup Lets You Unsubscribe to All Mailing Lists at Once [INVITES]
Yesterday I was subscribed to 271 newsletters. Today, after putting about 10 minutes of effort, I'm subscribed to just the 17 of them I find useful — and they arrive at my inbox packaged in a single email.
Unroll.me, which started as a simple hack for unsubscribing to emails, is the startup behind this improvement, and it's launching a redesigned product on Monday. For the first time, users can compile the newsletters they do want to receive into a one-email-per-day digest.
Here's how it works: After you grant Unroll.me access to your inbox (only gmail, MSN, Yahoo and AOL are compatible for now), it searches for the newsletters you receive on a regular basis. A 2003 law that requires newsletters to include certain language makes this easier for the startup to spot them.
Through the Unroll.me dashboard, you can then opt out of each newsletter it detects with a single click (for sites like LinkedIn or Facebook, Unroll.me directs you to the appropriate settings page). You can also add any of them to a daily digest newsletter with one click. That's it.
Eventually the site hopes to make money by building an index of newsletters. It could help newsletters acquire new subscribers by suggesting them to users who subscribe to similar ones, and it would charge them for the service. Unroll.me is currently offering newsletter recommendations to users, but none of them are sponsored.
Despite the lack of income, the service is free to use — but there is a catch. After unsubscribing from four lists through Unroll.me, you need to tweet, post or email friends about the service before you can continue purging your inbox.
Considering the benefits of the service, however, a social plug is a small price to pay.
Unroll.me is still in private beta, but the first 5,000 Mashable users who sign up at this link can skip the line.

I don't know about you, but every chance my daughter gets to play in a spot that is different from her typical play areas, she wholeheartedly engages. Having a wood playhouse in your backyard can encourage your children to play outside simply because it is different than what they are used to. Even when they get used to playing in the playhouse, it will still continue to be novel. I've never met a child, boy or girl, who didn't love outdoor playhouses.
Even for the child who typically doesn't like outside play, having a wood playhouse in your backyard will stimulate new ways to play.
Not only will your child enjoy the same types of activities they do inside, but they will be getting fresh air, sunshine and a healthy dose of physical activity from running in and out of the playhouse.
Outdoor Playhouses Increases Healthy Habits
Enjoying outdoor playhouses can increase the amount of time spent outside. Outside play is one way to encourage health habits of physical activity, fresh air, and sunshine.
Getting your child outside at least once a day develops a daily habit of exercise, which can lead to healthy exercise habits.
Varying Uses for Your Playhouse
A playhouse doesn't have to be just for toddlers and preschoolers pretending to work in an ice cream shop, playhouses can have many uses.
Starting when children are young, a playhouse can be useful for the imaginary play of a toddler. As the children age, a playhouse can become many things.
- A clubhouse
- An artist studio
- A music area
- A library/reading area
- A backyard camping cabin
- A sports den
Get creative with your kids as they age to make the playhouse useful at all ages. With each season of your child's life, they will find uses for the playhouse that incorporate into their current interests.
Wood Playhouses Double as an Outdoor Shed
Aside from developing good exercise habits, our beautiful Carrington Cottage Wood Playhouse can double as a shed. Use it for seasonal storage or turn it into a shed once the kids outgrow it. The great thing about our wood playhouses is that they will never run out of uses. Whether it is being used for tea parties or imaginary diners, or it's being used to store holiday decorations, this backyard playhouse/shed will continue to be useful for years to come.
When it comes to the benefits of a outdoor playhouse, they are many. It's one of the best ways to get your kids outside playing and getting in some much need outside time for all the seasons of their lives.
