Gunmen kill Somali journalist in Puntland
New York, May 3, 2012--Two unidentified men shot and killed Somali journalist Farhan Jeemis Abdulle on Wednesday evening as he walked home from work in Galkayo, a town in the semi-autonomous region of Puntland, according to news reports.
Local journalists told CPJ that Abdulle, a producer and host at the private Radio Daljir, would often sleep at the station as a safety precaution but had decided to walk home since he had finished work early. The two assailants were waiting for the journalist near his home in Garsoor Village and shot him four times in the back and hand, news reports said.

text: I recently purchased a 2001 Tahoe LT 4X4. It has 119,000 miles. The front has bucket seats with a console between the two front seats. This Tahoe does not have a heat/AC duct facing the rear seats from the back end of the center console (between the front seats). There is a short section of additional console at the very front of the main center console. The My question is: Can I take out the short section of the center console as they appear to be separate units. There is a cassette tape player located in the short section of console, but I don't care about not having it. I would like to free up the floor area between the space under the dash and main center console so I could mount two or three ham radios in a stacked configuration from the floor up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks- Howard

VMware or VirtualBox?
I used to have VMware server, workstation and player in my lab, but a few months ago, I installed VirtualBox and I find it quite easy to use. So far, I didn't get any problem.
Because I am definitively not an expert on virtual machines, would you guys see any limitation with VirtualBox?

Did a cutout with my cousin Shane this past Sunday. I say I did a cutout, but Shane did the real work, I just helped pulling part of the roof, peeling flashing off, and put the comb in the frames. The bees had gotten in the floor joist between the second and third floors of an small apartment building. They were pretty far in there. Shane is lanky, around 6 foot 4, and he was up to his armpits pulling out the comb. I thought the bees were fairly docile, but we did have one spectator get stung, the gentleman who called Shane, and Shane got stung once on the hand when he wasn't wearing his gloves. It was all new comb, maybe a month or six weeks old (very soft) with a little honey but a decent amount of brood in all stages from eggs to capped over (no drone brood yet though). We left it overnight since there was a large swarm ball still in the cavity left behind, we don't have a bee vac (next on the list!). They were pretty upset on Monday morning, but by the evening they had moved into the nuc, a 5 frame deep with a medium on top with most of the frames having some comb on it. They seem happy enough in the nuc.
When my cousin got up on the scaffolding to remove the nuc he was greeted by the a potential new resident!
He was twenty feet in the air on the scafolding and the raccoon didn't seem too interested in leaving, so they had a bit of a standoff for a while before the raccoon backed off enough from my cousin to bring the nuc down.
On the plus side we think the hive is going to survive. This initial plan is to leave them in the nuc, add another super if necessary and let them overwinter in the super. I hope they make it, these bees look different than most of his bees so he will end up with some bio-diversity in his apiary.

Salty Pinata- the given name to the act of having a man 'fuck' the mouth/throat of a girl (or guy) while their head dangles off of the bed/couch. The man's genitalia must also be sweating enough to visible notice, and the testicles must be slapping the partner in the face with every thrust. It is the combination of the salt and swinging, slapping testicles that make a salty pinata

You know. I think you are on to something. 7.62x25 would make a sweet small game cartridge for use in the woods (read, short range). I am imagining it would be perfect in a mini-Mauser or a small lever action. Have you ever checked the muzzle velocity out of a carbine length barrel? Will it break 2000fps?

Read Spanish Destroyer carbine. 9mm Largo. Very similar to the 7.62x25
Freedom is not free. Some will perish to preserve it for the many. Just as our Forefathers did before us, we must take up the battle and not waver. Victory is our only option.
the destroyer would make a great platform for the x25 , I have not chronoed the rifle but will later in the week, I imagine 2000 fps would be obtainable, the yugo ammo runs over 1600fps out of my goverment model 5" bbl
By goverment model, do you mean a 1911? I tried putting some 7.62x25 ammo in a 38 Super 1911 magazine, but they are just long enough to bind up and get stuck in the mag. How did you make this work?Originally Posted by panaceabeachbum

Civil Forces
Public servants such as police and prison officers, Customs and Excise officers and Royal Mail coachmen were armed with a variety of weapons including edged weapons and firearms.
Mail coach guards
Poor roads made communication slow and difficult and post boys and coaches were often robbed. In 1784 a fast, well-protected nationwide system of coaches was set up. Every coach had a guard armed with a pair of flintlock pistols and a blunderbuss, which proved an effective defence.
The Police
For many centuries law enforcement was the responsibility of the local community and their magistrates, who would appoint officers, such as parish constables.
In the 18th century, as towns increased this style of policing could not cope with the rise in crime and disorder.
The first attempts at professional policing was in London, and in 1829 Sir Robert Peel established the Metropolitan Police Force. By 1856 every local authority was required to have a police force.
The first police were armed with wooden truncheons and sometimes a short sword. As a reaction to the increased use of firearms in crime the police armed themselves and developed protective clothing.

Four year old grandson getting ready to watch me take the last supers off this week.
Bundled up cause mommy would put a stop to it if he got stung. Not much danger though as I only get one or two a year. Hopefully we will get some push back on her from the grandson when he gets a little older but right now he's city folk just like her.

Many in the Smith community will need to provide care at some point for an aging parent, in-law, partner or loved one. A 2009 survey conducted by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation at Smith showed that twelve percent of Smith faculty members already spend more than three hours per week on elder care and that nearly half of the faculty are struggling to balance their workloads with the responsibilities of caring for elderly parents, and we know that staff are also spending significant time caring for an elder.
With a grant from the Sloan Foundation, the Center for Work and Life has developed this guide to support members of the Smith community as they face the challenges of providing or procuring care for their elders.
The Center for Work and Life does not advocate for any one type of care, nor for any facility or organization mentioned in this guide. Instead, we aim to introduce you to the range and diversity of what is available in terms of elder care, focusing primarily on government and nonprofit organizations and resources.
Whether you are just getting started with the elder care process or you are deep into it, this guide will help you find the resources you need.
In this video series, Smith faculty and staff talk about caring for an elder.


text: re: the other skaters' reactions I agree with Emdee - while Coughlin and Radford were obviously hugely impressed, I think Brezina's face was the most telling. Very much a "well, I'm going to lose, but I'm going to lose to that, so it's okay." The moments between 0:01 and 4:35 Okay, fine..... a) The choreo sequence. Everything. The entry is sublime (perfect match of blade and arm movement). The three hops he does back-to-back-to-back. The fact that he seems to burst into a smile every time he enters it. I'd actually like to see him extend the time between the end and the final spin actually - gives it more of an emotional punctuation mark and maybe more stroking will help him in the final spin. b) Everything leading into the double axel. c) The choreography between the lutz sequence and the solo lutz. d) The first two jump passes work with the energy of the music.

Winning this game would feel great but not as great as winning against the eagles. That being said I'm not worried about this game, if we show up, this will be an easy win.
Winning this game would feel great but not as great as winning against the eagles. That being said I'm not worried about this game, if we show up, this will be an easy win.
We shouldn't lose to a bad Browns team at home. They are competitive but the Giants need to win to ease some of the sting of losing to the Beagles.
Funny how it was San Fran the game after last time too.
Yeah that sucked - both team and fan base looking at it as an easy win to stay undefeated and then Braylon Edwards catches more balls than his entire stay w the Jets (yes I'm exaggerating).
Hitting on all cylinders for the entire game would be nice to say the least.
Brings back memories of Aaron Ross getting burned all game by Braylon Edwards.
I'm still confused 4 years later at how we lost they game. It's mind boggling.
I know how we lost. We are the Giants and the Giants wouldnt be who they are without laying 2-3 eggs a year. simple
btw, weve had 1 egg vs Cowboys. (maybe 1/2 an egg to eagles)
We are sadly due 1 or 2 more eggs before the chickens done.
That game was awful in 2008...I was so ****ing pissed off afterwards. How the hell do you steam roll the Cardinals, Steelers, and Ravens (200+ rushing at their house), but lose to a terrible Browns team?
The Browns are a better team now than they were then. Their secondary has the potential to be very stingy and as we all saw, Eli threw a pick in the endzone last Sunday.
Trent Richardson is a very strong runner and will be dangerous if the Giants don't contain him. Also, Greg Little is inconsistent. If he happens to have a good game, he can make the big plays that occasionally gouge us. Weeden impressed me last Thursday when he threw into tight coverage as well as he did for being a rookie (and from baseball too).
Just because they are the Browns doesn't mean we should win as long as we show up. I still worry about this game and I hope the giants get their **** together after losing to philly
The Giant's will be up for this game, Philly will lose to the Steelers and all will be right in the NFC east!!!!
As I said in another thread, the idea that this team will use an insignificant regular season loss in 2008 as motivation for Sunday's game is just silly.

I would think that pointing someone high up in lenovo to this thread and having them read it, would give them enough information to realize there is a problem with a batch of the adapters, or software on the laptops.
Well I took my laptop over to my in-laws where they have a wireless network and it worked fine.
And now I connected again and it seems to be working good.
I made a mistake in a previous post, I thought the profiles were separate in AC and windows Manage Wirless Networks. Ac is giving you a nice gui for making the entrees I guess.
I have QOS Packet Schedlar and IPV6 turned off, but I could have sworn that I did that before without any differnce.
I will see if the connections continues to connect to the internet consistently.
As far as an emial goes, I think maybe if we structured it in a spreadsheet or something, like:
Model/Adapter/Router/ info
Problem Description
Link to Forum topic ??
Just lost internet connection again.
This time it didn't go to sleep, just lost internet connection while working.
The only way to get it to reconnect again was to disconnect form home network and reconnect.
My other 3 machines never lost connection at this same time.
Yes, that is the general problem everyone is having. While working, it automatically stops, and Fn + f5 says wireless is still on. You have to restart the computer for it to work again.
I really hope somone has a good solution to this because nothing is working ... and customer help seems just as mystified.
While I appreciate your frustration, emailing random execs in the company is not an appropriate action here.
There are updated drivers working through test that should improve / resolve many of these symptoms. Please also be aware of the parallel discussions in the forum, and solutions / improvements found by other members through changes to power management schemes, access point roaming aggressiveness, etc.
I would again ask members to review the rules of the forum - this is a peer to peer community. The formal support path is to call technical support and escalate your particular circumstances after you have ensured you have the latest drivers, version of access connections, BIOS, and settings applied, and have reviewed our e-support site for relevant tips.
That said, I will see what technical information is available that can be shared here including an ETA on updated wireless drivers.
Best regards,
Could you PM me your support case number? If support is unable to help resolve your issue, have they opened an escalation ticket for you?

Hi Frank, to solve my disconnection problem, I usually just disconnect from my connected network either through windows or Access connections and then connect again.
I have not had to do a reboot to fix it, at least this week I haven't.
One thing I did notice when I was all locked up, is that the ip address for the adapter was a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx number, like it had when I got it out of the box. I got this through an ipconfig.
But when I go to the settings for the adapter, I do not see any default setting for ip.
If it was grabbing the last ip assigned, it should be a 192.xxx.xxx.xxx number.
I have updated the adapter driver, ac connections, hot keys, and power manager.
It still has problems coming out of sleep mode, I have to disconnect and reconnect with ac connections.
Every once in a while it will lose connection, but ac connection and windows thinks they are still connected. So I have to disconnect and re-connect with ac connections to fix it.
I am writing this from my 7 year old tower running xp pro.
Connects wirelessly with my router via a linksys card I bought about 3 years ago.
Never have a problem with it. If I tried to sell this relic, they would probably give me 100 dollars if I were lucky.
I will call support tomorrow again I think. I am just tired of dealing with it.
Let me know if you get anywhere.
Have you tried disabling IPV6 and QOS sharing or filtering, whatever it is called ?

Lodging tax stands
The Jenkins City Council learned Tuesday night, Oct. 9, that a lodging tax that had been under question for proper procedure had indeed passed through all the correct avenues to be a standing law.
The 1 percent lodging tax, which was adopted in 2000 to go toward marketing, came under question at the council's September meeting. At that meeting there was concern over whether the proper procedures were followed to adopt the law, including whether a public hearing had been held.
Concerns over whether a public hearing was held led to concerns over whether the ordinance was enforceable.
City clerk Krista Okerman reported Oct. 9 that her research showed that all legal requirements had been met when the tax was implemented.
A joint powers agreement was mentioned in the October 2000 minutes, Okerman said, though she was unable to locate that document. That joint powers agreement named Ideal Township's clerk as the tax administrator.
Though Ideal is the tax administrator for the lodging tax, Whitefish Lodging Association manages the marketing. Okerman plans to request copies of the joint powers agreement from the association's accountant.
Council member Gary Brown said he believes the city's involvement in the tax needs to be tightened.
Brown cast the sole no vote against a resolution to reaffirm the 1 percent lodging tax.
Mayor Jon Lubke was not present at the meeting. Dale Daudt, acting mayor, was present.
In other business Oct. 9, the council:
• Renewed a resolution allowing the city to snowplow an unfinished street in Deeg's Executive Addition. The resolution was originally adopted due to the economy, so the city plows streets that are unfinished but have residents living on them.
• Approved a building permit application checklist, drafted by Okerman, of information that is to be submitted for a building permit.
• Discussed a compensatory time policy regarding how to handle overtime. A policy will be drafted by council members Brown and Gary Hart and brought to a future council meeting for approval.

The singer Phoebe Snow has a great wry line about our next major secular holiday: "December 31st is the very worst time of the year. You have to find people that you like enough to share your beer." It's a sentiment that the protagonist of Striking 12, a morose young New Yorker referred to as The Man (Ryan Duncan), would agree with. As his friends and officemates plan parties for the big night, he plans to stay in and nurse a beer alone. That is, until a young woman (Kelly Caufield) knocks on his door selling strands of "full-spectrum holiday light bulbs." She spurs him to rediscover the Hans Christian Andersen story of "The Little Match Girl," and ultimately his holiday goodwill, in the Maine premiere of this yuletide theater alternative. Striking 12 is an upbeat, refreshingly low-frills musical ensemble show — a "holiday non-spectacular non-extravaganza" — under the direction of Brian P. Allen, for the Good Theater.
"Non-spectacular" means, among other things, no period petticoats or frock coats; all eleven performers wear sleek black- or gray-on-black, a good palette for both its primary setting, modern New York City, and its sub-setting, on the 19th-century Danish streets. Spatially, a sharp five-piece band (Stephen Underwood and Victoria Stubbs on keyboard, Bill Manning on percussion, John Lawson on bass and guitar, and Heather Kahill, beautifully, on violin) literally takes center stage. The actors (Erik Moody, Marie Dittmer, Samantha St. Onge, and Andrew Sawyer, all of whom are miked for singing), maneuver around them, interacting with them informally and in affectionately close quarters, and morphing nimbly between the voices in The Man's answering machine and TV, his co-workers, an ex, and the people one avoids at the more agonizing holiday parties.
As the New Year's dissident himself, Duncan (a guest artist from New York City) is sympathetic, blessedly subtle and self-deprecating in expressing his funk, and he has a pleasant conversational ease in his musical phrasing. As his light-offering catalyst (and her Danish counterpart), Caufield has her usual luminous candor and exquisite, clarion voice. She creates beautiful and evocative moments of simple actions, as when her lightbulb seller delightedly leans back against a pole to watch the snow fall, and she also pulls out the emotional stops as she takes her characters to heights of desperation.
The rest of the cast has a lot of fun with their various roles, often to really funny effect. Particularly notable are the bitchery of St. Onge's Diane, The Man's ex, phoning him to forbid his presence at a certain party; Dittmer's intolerable "Space Invading Girl" getting too close to him in his imagining of said party; and Moody's loud and douchey Jack, a friend of The Man's who has invited a calendar's worth of Brooklyn Babes with Biceps to his new year's party. The band members (billed as part of the cast) also get to put in their two cents, shout out to the actors, and even debate the merits of the show itself.

Flagstar to sell mortgage-servicing rights on $40.7B in loans
Troy-based Flagstar Bancorp Inc. (NYSE:FBC) has agreed to sell the mortgage-servicing rights on $40.7 billion in loan balances to Denver-based Matrix Financial Services Corp.
That represents 55 percent of Flagstar's serviced-for-others mortgage portfolio as of Sept. 30. The acquisition is expected to close before the end of the year.
A key component of the transaction is that Flagstar will act as the sub-servicer on all the mortgage loans, which will result in the bank retaining some ancillary fees.
"We periodically evaluate the sale of MSRs as a way to reduce the concentration of the asset and strengthen the quality of our capital, and we are pleased to be able to achieve a significant transaction in MSRs while also retaining the underlying sub-servicing associated with the asset itself," he said.
Flagstar had told analysts it would reduce what was a high concentration of mortgage-servicing rights (MSRs) in its portfolio, from about 56 percent of its Tier 1 capital as of Sept. 30 to 10 percent to 15 percent eventually.
Arlington, Va.-based FBR Capital Markets & Co., upgraded Flagstar's stock on Dec. 5 from perform to outperform, in part because of management's plan to sell off a large chunk of its mortgage servicing rights.
In July, Flagstar announced it would lay off about 300 employees as it reduced some of its mortgage operations and sold off some of its mortgage-servicing rights. Those layoffs began Sept. 17 and are expected to be completed on Feb. 7, according to a filing Flagstar made with the state's Workforce Development Agency on Dec. 3.

Andres Lozano:
Parkinson's, depression and the switch that might turn them off
Deep brain stimulation is becoming very precise. This technique allows surgeons to place electrodes in almost any area of the brain, and turn them up or down — like a radio dial or thermostat — to correct dysfunction. Andres Lozano offers a dramatic look at emerging techniques, in which a woman with Parkinson's instantly stops shaking and brain areas eroded by Alzheimer's are brought back to life.

I purchased and installed a queen into a split from one of my Carnolian Hives. The queen was released May 1st. I just looked in on her and she is in the hive on open comb, but no attendants around her, nor any eggs or larve. The weather in my area has been cold and wet. It is now just starting to warm up.
Is she just slow to get started?
What is up?

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Just joined
Have been married 30 yrs to a grt cook, but started doing some of the cooking recently - Sat tea time.
Been following your Daily Mail recipes.
Last weekends Thai fish dish tasted grt but looked nothing like the picture.
Not sticky at all. Too wet, like a broth.
Too much coconut milk.
I think your recipe quants are wrong, or the introduction of the caramel should be after the sauce has thickened, but I simmered the fish for 20 mins and it was no where near thickening.
I would like to do it again but get it right.
If its not the recipe, what might I have done wrong.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
This isn't so much a cooking question but a matter of life and death. E.g. Food poisoning.
I froze my mothers Bengali chicken curry the day she made it for me it has since then been 2weeks and I have taken it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge yesterday morning since then it has been almost 36hours.
Am I safe to re heat this in a sauce pan and eat it?
Or will I end up giving not only myself but my partner food poisoning?
Many thanks in advance for any advice in regards to this.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hi Chocolate!
Was the curry made with coconut milk or any diary product? If yes then you best discard the curry. If not, you may try to heat it up and have a smell. If you are brave have a little taste. Any funny taste then please discard immediately. If not then enjoy.
Good luck and best of health!

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Iamchocolate: If the curry was cooled and frozen right after it was cooked and didn't spend much time at room temperature, then it should be just fine to heat it and serve it after it has thawed in a refrigerator for 36 hours. Often, it takes food that long to fully thaw anyway. Your refrigerator should be just below 40 F. or 4.4 C.
Another method I sometimes use for small quantities of something like a curry or stew is to put it in the microwave frozen on the defrost setting or put it in a pan on the stove frozen and heat it up fairly fast to the boiling point. But, thawing in the refrigerator is just fine and you could even have left it in there for up to 3 days before cooking if all the other steps were done correctly.
Never take even a tiny taste of food that you suspect has spoiled. Just one drop can make you seriously ill.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hello Jamie,
Nice been here on this site.
First of all, I must say that i recently started to watch your shows on 24kitchen channel and they are great. I am not a chef, or anything like that...but I do like food and to watch how it is prepared. As i mentioned, in your shows, I see that you like and enjoying traveling to countries and exploring new foods.
So this would be my invitation to you to come to my homeland Macedonia, where the best food is. I invite you come to try our food, which is combination of Mediterranean, Greek and oriental food. But certainly the best in the world! Trust me. You must try our home made food, and my mom's cooking, the cakes !
I trully want to show you the beauty of our country's food and drinks here. I dont think that you had the opportunity to come here, so I am more than pleased to offer you stay in Macedonia
I will be your host here. You are more than welcome to come into our house, its is a small apartment, but always open for kind and warm people.
My goal is to show you, that Macedonian food is among the best in the world, but not very commercial and people do not know much about our food and to enrich you with more experience and knowledge about home made cookings.
Maybe, this letter will never reach you, maybe a lot of people on the forum, will find this funny ..but nevertheless.
This was an open hearted invitation to you to come to Macedonia, to meet my family, to see our culture to taste our food and drinks, to see how people live here and how food is big factor is people's life's here.
Just try us ...
Hope that you will somehow read this, and be our guest sometimes ...
Kind regards

Mobile, Alabama's Brookley Aeroplex site for the new Airbus A320 Family final assembly line has a long aviation tradition, with historic ties that date to the early days of manned flight.
Brookley Aeroplex's origins can be traced back to John Fowler, who developed one of the first heavier-than-air machines to fly. Fowler – a clock repairman by trade – built a number of fledgling aircraft, including a tethered glider. His designs incorporated concepts that were advanced for the time, such as wing warping for flight control. Fowler's work caught the interest of the Wright brothers, who incorporated some of the design elements they saw at Brookley into their own Wright Flyer.
In 1917, aircraft production began at Brookley Aeroplex with the Williams Airplane Company, which built highly modified and improved versions of Curtiss aircraft. As the Williams Airplane Company continued to manufacture larger and better products, it developed numerous advanced systems – including the first accurate airspeed indicator, whose basic design is still in use today.
As the aviation sector entered its second phase of development, innovation and activity continued at Brookley Aeroplex. During World War II, the site's military base became a busy hub for the servicing of warplanes and their onboard systems, including the highly secret Norden Bombsite device – which was calibrated and repaired at the facility in one of the most secure buildings of its time.
Today, other aviation industry tenants sharing the Brookley Aeroplex with Airbus include a manufacturer of piston aircraft engines – including those used on the historic Voyager aircraft for its non-stop, un-refueled flight around the world in 1986; a major aircraft maintenance and modification company; a supplier of avionics service and repair; and a certified provider of hydraulic and pneumatic component repair services.

text: A week ago, I started treating my hives with the first (of three) doses of HopGuard. Prior to the treatment, there were plenty of SHB in the hives: 90s, humid weather in Atlanta, you get the picture. A week later, today, I gave them the second dose. The bees were gentle and organized. But I also noticed that the hives were completely free of SHB: none in the outer or inner cover, and none between the deeps. I did not do a thorough inspection but I would have seen the SHB if they were there. Does HopGuard repel SHB from the hives? Do you know? I am very satisfied with the results so far: organic, easy to apply, works with temperatures in 90s, no obstruction in the hives as far as I can see.

text: Body Review Examples I visited Don Ringler in July 2010 and met with a salesperson named Jason Holt. He was the an excellent example of professionalism that I have ever seen at a car dealership. He suggested several options and pushed that I waited until I got back from my deployment in Iraq before I bought a truck I was looking for. I was originally looking for a base model truck extended cab at the time. But after almost a year I had changed my mind and wanted a Texas Edition Crew Cab with the conveniance Package. I wrote him emails and he responded promptly with exactly what I wanted. The price was about the same as other dealerships in the area. My wife went and visited his dealership liked the customer service and him working around her schedule and keeping the dealership open later than usual so she could test drive the truck. Long story short as you can tell from my signature below my wife bought me the truck from Mr. Jason Holt. I would recommend this sales person and dealership.

A move toward "truth in labeling" would bring photographic arts more in line with ecological science.
Robert Louis Chianese
In her famous collection of essays On Photography (1977), Susan Sontag theorizes that the medium of photography itself keeps us outside the frame: viewers become voyeurs and uninvolved consumers of millions of images, distanced from the subjects. So is nature photography never able to engage our activist emotions for ameliorating the plight of the Earth? Perhaps we need to inform all the environmental organizations that bank on it.
We have at least one famous example of photographs of environmental degradation that sparked reform: the 1930s Dust Bowl photos of Dorothea Lange and other Farm Security Administration photographers. They trained America's eyes onto human-caused soil depletion in a period of prolonged drought that literally blew the land away. Lange's "Migrant Mother" portrait has become rightly famous, and dust storm photos brought the double dangers of drought and improper plowing into view.
The effects of these government-sponsored photographs, coupled with an all-out national effort to reduce poverty and change farming practices during the Depression, altered the consciousness of America about the connections between economy and ecology. These words have the same root—"ecos," or household; we live in and depend on both, and we still struggle to devise policy based on their interconnections. These 1930s photos have a powerful, black and white naive realism about them that seems far removed from the color-wheel aesthetics of nature photography today.
Consider the potential impact of a new school of "exposé photography," one that lays our pollutions bare. We could create a calendar decked out with toxic damage photos, 12 months of unaesthetic environmental horrors! The website Shutterstock offers more than 1,850 different photos of landfills. Under the heading of "environmental damage," the stock photo website Inmagine displays nearly 6,000 images that could fill up hundreds of calendars: the McMansion Footprint Calendar, the Urban Blight Calendar, the Junkyard Calendar (probably a favorite), the Clear Cut Calendar, the Smokestack and Dirty Skies Calendar, and so on. Acting on this notion, the BBC Wildlife Fund has already created an award-winning "Almost Extinct" calendar, in which each day of the year features an animal under the stress of our intrusions.
Again, this may be a pointless endeavor, if photography by its very nature aestheticizes and distances its subjects from viewers. But critical theory points out something much more obvious about photography, and potentially more useful. We capture a shot, shoot an image, thus metaphorically "kill" it by freezing it in time. We train our controlling eye and magisterial gaze on a scene and own it by snapping it. We hold it still, forever—in fact, a still life. The photo is a fleeting moment etched by light, taken out of time, and stored on film or chip.
All photography, we might argue, is therefore elegiac—a meditation on time and fleeting subjects caught and then lost to the ongoing present. This may be easiest to see with family photos. Elegies can be meditative without being mournful, formally acknowledging the passing of a moment or scene or prospect even as that subject carries on in real life.
With nature photography, though, the subject all too often goes on to degrade and suffer damage large and small, placing those elegies in a different context. If we adjust our concept of nature to fit truer ecological realities, we may be able to see nature photography itself reflect them. A glorious image of Yosemite's entrance can hold within it a sense of loss, an elegiac longing for the time when it was fully vital and powerful. Gorgeousness and grandeur themselves can come to signify loss.
This evokes an even more basic epistemological conflict: the tension between appearance and reality. Our eyes are an unreliable source about what's actual, since our concepts drive our vision. Immanuel Kant formulates it this way: "Concepts without percepts are empty; percepts without concepts are blind." Our dominant cultural concept of the natural world still carries over from the romantic nineteenth century, where Nature was posited as pure, wild, healthy, and endlessly regenerative. This can blind us to its present diminished state. The camera's images, beautiful or not, depict a reality we currently cannot or dare not see.

Where I stayed
We were travelling past the town of Ozona which was marked on the map as having the Davy Crockett Memorial and we were due for a break so we decided to give it a visit. We found the memorial and were severely tempted by the museum which boasted an exhibition of Mrs Mayde Bailey's slippers and vintage aprons but, as we were looking at the memorial, an American lady came out of the museum complaining bitterly that the museum closed at three and the curator wanted to get off at three o'clock sharp and it was quarter to three so she was shutting up shop now. Fortunately, as keen on Mrs Mayde Bailey's cast offs as we were, we didn't feel quite as strongly as the thwarted visitor.
We arrived in San Antonio during the early evening and made the decision to carry on for a while and eventually found the town of New Braunfels and booked into the Red Roof Motel - part of a budget chain and less run down than our last stop. The motels in the USA are often better value than Australia and New Zealand as the price, even at the lower end of the scale, includes free wireless internet and breakfast. Our only problem has been that because we've been up late at night on the free wireless internet, we have been too late to get up for breakfast!
We had a day of rest where we just lazed around, went shopping and ate! We visited IHOP where Steven, although he is being better behaved, refused to eat anything. He has developed a liking for hash browns, but we have encountered three types of hash browns and the ones he likes are the ones that MacDonalds do for their breakfasts, so when offered other types he digs his heels in! The hash browns at IHOP are the other two types!
During the morning we noticed the traffic building up on the interstate freeway running by the motel and the feeder road that runs parallel to it until it was almost at a standstill. We wanted to go to the shops about five miles down the road but D was not to be deterred! We jumped in the car (Americans don't walk anywhere!) and sat for an hour in the car to cover the first mile. After listening to the Bob the Builder twice through, we put some local radio on and found out that a petrol tanker had turned over on the interstate and the petrol had not only spilled over the interstate but had drained down to the local road which passed underneath it and the police would be letting traffic back on in twenty minutes. We eventually got to the shops having had to pass over the offending flyover where you could still smell the petrol from the accident. When it's all happening - you have to get out there and join in!
The man on the reception recommended that we visit the local Natural Bridge Caverns and the African Safari Park next door to the Caverns. We decided to go to the Caverns on Monday but felt it would be hard to explain away the missing windscreen wipers to the car rental company if we went to the Safari Park!
We had an interesting tour of the cave, having persuaded Steven that there was no bear in the cave (as in his Bear Hunt book) and thank goodness he was very well behaved. It is a criminal offence if you touch the rock formations and we had fears of him rampaging over the ancient stalagmites. What we didn't anticipate, despite numerous warnings, was D slipping over on the damp walkway! All of a sudden there was a crashing behind us (rockfall?!) and we turned to see D on his back with the camera held high in the air! The guide was panicking and concerned for him and the other people were all oohing and aahing at him in hushed tones and suddenly Steven's voice piped up, 'Daddy you fell over'. Fortunately there were no bones broken, but D has been suffering with a stiff shoulder which he puts down to his effort to save the camera!
In the afternoon we headed up to Austin, the state capital of Texas, stopped to sample the wares of Jack in the Box (yet another eatery) and went back to the motel.
The weather had turned colder since we had arrived in Texas and have been very relieved to find the decision to travel across the south of the country a wise one so far. The weather has been warm during the day but the temperatures dropping at night, but there has been unseasonal snow in Alabama and Georgia, where we are planning to head to later this week. The snow has now moved further north and no more is forecast so we should have no problems. Our original plan was to go up to the north where there are sub-zero temperatures and oodles of snow. We could have stayed in England for that!

Television New Zealand has permanently cut Sunday into a mix of 60 minute and 30 minute shows as it talks to shock jock Paul Henry about fronting the new Close Up.
The state broadcaster has renewed its traditional Sunday evening current affairs show for 2013, bringing relief to some journalists who feared it was exiting long form current affairs altogether.
But the continuation of the traditional show is a seen as a counter to other changes that would turn Close Up into more of an entertainment-style program.
TVNZ Chief executive Kevin Kenrick today said Sunday will alternate between a half hour and a one hour show next year.
It continues the policy used in the latter half of 2012 for the show to run 30 minutes to make room from NZ's Got Talent.
In 2013, the show will be built around TV One's Masterchef and other big budget entertainment shows such as NZ's Got Talent if TVNZ can win funding.
The continuation of Sunday - albeit in an abridged format - will be a relief to some at TVNZ as it had been signalled that the network was exiting long form current affairs.
Kenrick insists TVNZ never planned to kill Sunday altogether and the continuation of its more traditional form of current affairs could be seen alongside the new format for the 7pm Close Up show.
Kenrick said the total number of episodes for Sunday had been increased to take account of the abridged length and that staffing and budget levels were being maintained.
He said TVNZ had been concerned that ratings for Sunday would slump but the shift to a half hour to accommodate NZ's Got Talent had been a success.
Kenrick said, "We now know Sunday works in a 60 minutes or 30 minutes format."
The head of TVNZ news and current affairs - Ross Dagan - who has been fighting for the retention of current affairs values at TVNZ - was in Spain for a news conference.
There was no comment from him in the announcement of the abridged Sunday.

From the producers of Little Miss Sunshine comes another original and quirky indie that's not afraid to be different.
An unusual blend of dry and cynical romantic comedy and low-budget DIY sci-fi, it's not an obvious combination of genres.
Somehow it works, creating an endearing story about living for the now.
Three sceptical Seattle magazine employees go looking for a bizarre story after seeing a classified ad seeking a partner to travel through time with.
Jeff (Johnson), Darius (Plaza) and Arnau (Soni) find Kenneth (Duplass) working at a supermarket stacking shelves, and Darius, a grad student with a chip on her shoulder, is sent in undercover to make contact.
Kenneth and Darius begin training in secret for their mysterious mission with what seems like amateurish child's play.
The more they get to know each other though, and as they begin to trust each other, this preposterous plan to travel back in time starts to appear just a little bit plausible.
This is when the real fun begins as the perspective turns from that of the three disaffected journalists to that of an eclectic group of people who are no longer sure what is possible.
Shot on a digital camera, this is director Colin Trevorrow's debut feature, and while he's been conventional in the visual style used, he sure makes up for it with an ambitious finale.
You'll either love it or hate it, but it's one of the best non-Hollywood happy endings I've seen in a while.
Stars: 4/5
Cast: Aubrey Plaza, Jake Johnson, Karan Soni, Mark Duplass
Director: Colin Trevorrow
Running time: 86 mins
Verdict: Charming, sassy and bitingly funny comedy.

The term API (Application Programming Interface) has become one of those terms being used at all levels of business from the boardroom to developer teams. Many companies are now hiring for API strategy roles while others are leveraging internal champions to drive their API strategy.
This is new area for many companies and as such it's not clear to many how an API strategy should be formulated. Depending on the orientation of the person or team defining your API strategy, it is pretty easy to have blind spots around the business model, go to market strategy, implementation or operationalization of your API. The fact is your API is a new product that represents and significant business opportunity. As such, it needs to be planned in the same detail as any new business venture.
No Strategy is a bad API Strategy
Many will be familiar with Twitter, the social sharing site that started as a way for people to share updates with their friends. As the service grew in popularity it attracted a lot of funding without anyone really knowing what the business model was going to be for the service.
Twitter's API became one of the most successful APIs in history thanks to thousands of developers creating an application ecosystem around the service. As pressure from investors mounted for Twitter to figure out how it was going to monetize, they repeatedly changed their usage policies to the detriment of their ecosystem. These changes included disallowing others to create applications that enabled users to publish and subscribe to feeds so that Twitter could own the eyeballs and hopefully grow advertising revenue.
They also started locking down access to the "fire-hose" – the public feed of everything – used by companies to monitored trends and provide sentiment analysis for everything from political campaigns, brands, celebrities and TV shows. Now the early adopters that gravitated to Twitter are also the ones looking for something new in part because of how the policy changes have negatively affected the ecosystem. If Twitter had a strategy for their API up front, they might be in better shape right now.
To avoid the pitfalls that Twitter has stumbled over, plan your API strategy by considering the following 5 aspects.
1. Pick a Business Model
The press have been calling Open APIs the new Open Source. Having 15 years of open source experience, I can see the parallels on the freedom and leverage aspect – both Open Source and APIs allow you to choose and leverage capabilities of other applications, platforms and utilities – but the strategy is very different.
APIs are an opportunity to drive new channels of business. As such, you need to understand what you will offer, who your audience is and how important your offering is to that audience. Some companies such as Google and eBay have offered free APIs for a while, but increasingly companies are realizing that certain types of data and functionality is worth paying for. There are already lots of business models in use such as Free, Developer Pays, Developer Gets Paid, Indirect. The tree below highlights the number of business models today and growing.

2. Understand your audience
As with any product you need to understand whom you customer base will be and how you will reach them. It is not enough to say you want developers, in reality you API usage will be driven by companies that can leverage your API to their advantage. So the question is which segments and/or companies have the most to gain from your API.
Ideally, you'll be able identify an audience that experience pain by not having your API; you want to be selling painkillers not vitamins. SaaS applications, such as Salesforce and NetSuite typically have APIs that serve System Integrators and end users that create an ecosystem around the data stored in the SaaS application. Infrastructure APIs often align with a platform or with consumers that currently buy the equivalent on premise infrastructure. You will need to define a go to market strategy that communicates the value of your API in a way that will grab the attention of your audience.
3. Plan and resource your marketing and community strategy
Many people considering an API strategy will not have created a product before. The challenge with APIs is that there are potentially two audiences that you need to reach: the business owner that has the need and the developer who will work with the API. These strategies can be split into Marketing and Community. Both are important.
Depending on what your API offers you'll need to "solution sell" your API, to help your customer understand the value and relation to their problem. Many organizations are just starting their journey into an API-centric world; you'll need to cut through the marketing hype to engage your audience. Your community strategy is focused on engaging the developers that will use your API. Those that have a loyal and vibrant community succeed others die on the vine. Depending on your business model, you don't need hundreds of thousands of developers, but you will need to be engaged and helpful in supporting your developers.
4. Be a good citizen
It's really hard to get an API right first time around and it's not easy to change an API if you have traction. Plus you are fighting against everyone else to the right expertise to deliver an API in this emerging market.
You will want to appeal to developers and developers like APIs that are 'good citizens.' This means that the API has good documentation, the sign up process and security is standard and transparent, the API is discoverable through a console, there is a way of running tests against it and it has a well-defined versioning and change control policy. This is a lot to get right.
Luckily, there are vendors that ease some of these concerns, but you need to make them a focus of the implementation. As I recommend with integration projects, its better to start small but think big; start with a simple API and graduate to offering a wider set of services that to try and do it all at once.
5. Have an operational plan
Most organizations have little experience of running a public service other than keeping their web site up. The operational side of publishing an API is often overlooked by the implementation team but is critical to the success. IT operations will typically take charging in owning the API infrastructure and will need to ensure its secure, reliable and available, smaller companies may choose a partner to host with.
As the APIs market places fill up the Service Level Agreement (SLA) of an API and the vendors ability to meet that SLA is becoming increasingly important. APIs are typically integrated into other offerings, downtime of the API can mean down time for your customers applications.
Starting your API Strategy
The golden rule of creating a great product is to think from the vantage point of your users. The table below offers a set of questions to help identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunity and threats (SWOT).
Table: SWOT Analysis Questions
Do you have data that others don't have access to?
Can you glean useful insights or trends from the data specific to you?
Do you functionality that you have invested significant IP that is hard to copy?
Have you already invested in building APIs? Do you have the right culture and skills?
Do you have a captive audience or will you need to build from scratch?
Can you identify new markets for your data or functionality?
Can you team up with other suppliers to offer more value or reach a new audience?
How much of your existing skills can you leverage to gain advantage?
How easy it to mimic your API?
How well do you understand your audience and the business models they will bear?
Are you building your API as a product?
This is an exciting time as we move rapidly into an API-centric era. New products, business models and channels will be defined that open up more possibilities than we can imagine. Those that treat their API strategy as important will stay in the game to gain competitive advantage, many that don't will risk falling by the way side. Your API may be your most successful product. Treat it as such.

The Last Windrow: Not one for making resolutions
This is the issue of the newspaper that usually addresses the pluses and minuses of the past year. Papers also feature people making resolutions for the new year, 2014.
We never paid much attention to the turning of the calendar page to the new year on that little Iowa farmstead where I grew up. Jan. 1 was just like any other day — you got up early, milked the cows, did the chores and went about your everyday business. There wasn't much time left to sit and contemplate your navel.
Looking back over your shoulder really did little good on the farm. What was done was done. Bets that were made in the spring may or may not have turned out. That new variety of high priced, single cross seed corn might have produced a paltry 20 bushel to the acre. Your high expectations for that great looking litter of little pigs may have gone down the tube when hog prices headed for the basement in October. That prize steer that you were thinking about butchering in the fall may have developed a case of hardware disease and had to be shipped "subject" to the stockyards in July.
It did little good to sit and cry over spilled milk. It was on to the next adventure.
I don't ever remember making any resolutions, either. Overall, we must have considered ourselves to have been living about as good as one could expect. Very few farmers ever resolved to lose weight. With the labor required on the farm, there weren't very many farmers who were overweight.
I doubt if there were ever many memberships bought to a gym or health club. When you finished a day of maintaining a farm, every muscle in your body had been tested to the nth degree. You were not looking to go spend some more time exercising. You were looking for a soft spot to land.
My dad resolved to stop smoking about half of the years I spent alongside him. He gave it a noble effort. First he would suck on hard candy. Then he would graduate to chewing on a cinnamon stick or chewing gum. Then he would elevate himself to chewing long-leaf tobacco, and finally he would fall back into the cigarette trough and be puffing on cigarettes just like before he made the resolution.
It was a tough habit to break, but he finally did it when he hit 80.
So, it is no wonder that I find no real satisfaction in making resolutions or re-living the high and low points of the past year. It seems pointless for me to resolve to do something when I know I'll wither under fire. The new year is before us and who knows what it will bring. Some good, some bad and mostly the same-old, same-old.
The main thing as I see it is to persevere and try to keep an optimistic viewpoint.
Garden seed catalogs are arriving in droves in our mailbox as we approach 2014. If I WERE to make a resolution, it would be to try to pick seeds that actually come out of the ground in May. That would seem to me to be about as promising resolution as could be had by any human. I'll settle for that.
Happy New Year!
See you next time. Okay?

I would like to start using a mid-range stoneware rather than a low-fire earthenware. However, the max temp on my kiln is 2000 F. I tried firing it higher to see how high it would go, and it only got to 2011. I would like to know if it's possible to change anything (the elements, etc.) to make the kiln able to fire to a higher temperature. We don't have the budget to buy a new kiln, but could afford some changes. We are using an Amaco Excel Select Fire. Thanks for any suggestions!

I would suggest emailing Amaco from their website. I am based in the UK and in the past emailed them a question about one of their glazes and found them very helpful and quick to respond.
Posted 06 April 2010 - 08:46 PM
Contact Amaco for the specs on your kiln and advice to convert your kiln. Be concerned about the maximum temperature it's firebricks are rated for. Sight unseen most likely the brick won't take the higher temperatures you want to reach.
Posted 19 April 2010 - 02:54 PM
Thanks for the input! As luck would have it, I found a nearly-new high-temp kiln on Craig's List for half the price of a new one, so that has met my needs.

Keith Collection announces donation of the Honorable John Feikens' papers and records
|Judge Feikens (left), Damon J. Keith and Judge Ralph Freeman swearing in Keith to District Court in October 1967.
DETROIT (Jan. 24, 2012) — The Damon J. Keith Law Collection of African American Legal History has announced the donation of the papers and records of the late Honorable John Feikens, former judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Judges Damon J. Keith and John Feikens served as the inaugural co-chairmen of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission from 1963 to 1966, demonstrating a shared commitment to civil rights and equal justice.
Before his death, Judge Feikens was adamant that his materials be given to the Keith Collection in view of his lifelong friendship with Keith. "Judge Feikens was a dear friend and a thoughtful and compassionate jurist who cared deeply about his community, the larger issues in society and the role judges could play in shaping society," said Keith. "We are honored to have his papers as part of the Keith Collection."
Judge Feikens was appointed to the bench in 1970 and served as the chief judge of the Eastern District of Michigan from 1979 to 1986, at which point he took senior status. He has been recognized for his integrity and willingness to stick up for the "little guy." His materials include documents and artifacts relating to his time on the bench and will become available to scholars and researchers in the near future, after they are processed by Wayne State University's Reuther Library, where they will be housed.
The Damon J. Keith Law Collection of African American Legal History at Wayne State University Law School was created to record the history of African American lawyers and judges. The mission of the Keith Collection is to collect, preserve and provide resources pertaining to African American legal history, including the history of prominent African American lawyers, judges and lawmakers whose service to the community reflects an interest in and commitment to civil rights and social justice. The Keith Collection works in partnership with the Walter P. Reuther Library, a world-renowned archival repository, the Damon J. Keith Center for Civil Rights and the Wayne State University Law School. For more information on the Keith Collection, visit http://keithcenter.wayne.edu/collection/index.php.

Excellent, excelent stuff onbelaydave. Absolutely stunning images What telephoto are you using for those portraits? I'd guess somewhere around a 400mm unless you're somehow encountering some very tame animals.
Well here's my miniscule contribution. I have loads more images of animals, just not taken while riding since this is a fairly new passion for me - riding that is.
Found this guy enjoying lunch on Devils Backbone Trail just east of Lovelnad/Ft.Collins. He was a pretty large fella as you can see compared to my XL RIP9.
Also caught this guy a litle further up on Blue Sky Trail. Not the best photo, but not bad without the ability to set shutter speed etc. on a P&S camera.
