How can you not love this man?
Agreed, Harriet. I absolutely adored Elliot Cowan as Mr. Darcy. He and Jemima Rooper had great chemistry together.

My Regency Tea Cup Review Ratings
- Five Regency tea cups: The book is not perfect (few books are), but it was well worth its purchase and possesses many outstanding qualities that makes it stand head and shoulders above its counterparts.
- Four Regency tea cups: This book offered many hours of pleasant reading, and I found I could not put it down.
- Three Regency tea cups: Damned with faint praise. I put the book down often, but was intrigued enough to finish it. In this instance, the movie might be better.
- Two Regency tea cups: This book required major changes that the author and editor should have fixed before publishing deadline.
- One Regency tea cup: Oh dear. I do so feel for the trees that sacrificed their lives for this verbal garbage.

Clarence Thomas Did Not Disclose Wife's Income From Conservative Groups
Posted on Jan 26, 2011
While ruling on cases near and dear to the hearts of his wife's clients, for 13 years Justice Clarence Thomas failed to report spousal income from conservative groups such as the Heritage Foundation because, he claims, he misunderstood the disclosure forms.

As a conservative, I can only say that Thomas is a disgrace to the values he purports to uphold.
By Tom in NH, February 7, 2011 at 8:42 am Link to this comment
Not reporting his wife's income could NOT have been an oversight! It HAD to be deliberate. So, what is to be done with a USSC Justice who deliberately signes a false financial disclosure document under penalty of perjury where most of the omitted money came from a conservative political advocacy group?? Add to this his ( and Scalia's) attendance at political strategy seminars sponsored by the Koch brothers!!! This is calling their impartiality into SERIOUS question!! Americans need to have confidence in the USSC's impartiality!!
Why is mainstream media ignoring this issue???
By AnnaCatherine, January 28, 2011 at 11:14 am Link to this comment
What about Mrs. Thomas? Are they both stupid? Don't they have an accountant? It's hard to believe that this went unnoticed for thirteen years. Thomas's behavior over the years makes me wonder if he really ever wanted the job in the first place. He thoroughly enjoyed the appointment limelight, but he should never have been appointed. He's out of his intellectual element. Just not up to the job.
By Observer, January 27, 2011 at 10:36 pm Link to this comment
Clarence "The Token" Thomas is a disgrace to the Court, the African-American race, and the human race. Of course, as he did with his confirmation hearings, he'll play the race card if he's ever confronted on his ignorance/evasion.

A Supreme Court Judge of the United States does not comprehend or misinterprets disclosure forms to file income taxes? What is his role on the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land? Fire him, get him off this post. He is incompetent.
By SarcastiCanuck, January 27, 2011 at 1:18 pm Link to this comment
Isn't a Supreme court judge supposed to be of impeccable character and deep seated knowledge and wisdom?Thats how they earn the title 'Supreme'.So Clarence gets away with "Sorry,no speaka da English" on his tax disclosure.Hmmmm.Somebody better tell Steven Segal that some Americans are indeed 'above the law'.Better yet,send Steve down to lay out an ass whooping or two…..That will keep em honest since they don't seem to fear the lady holding the scales…..disgusting..Whoop em good Steve.

This is another reason we need term limits. Plead ignorance and "skate" .What's up with this diplomatic immunity? Why should a supreme court justice be held to a different standard and allowed to subvert the law? Term limits for lawmakers and supreme court justices.

What he has done constitute grounds for impeachment. The Democrats do not have the balls to do it though. He should not be allowed to render any decision until this matter id fully investigated and prosecuted

Clarence Thomas should be booted off the Supreme Court and disbarred.

PITTSBURGH—Sophomore Veronica Lee was named the Pitt Performer of the Meet after leading the University of Pittsburgh women's swimming and diving team to victories over California (Pa.), Carnegie Mellon, Clarion and Grove City at Trees Pool Saturday afternoon. The Panthers moved to 8-6 in dual meet competition this season.
"Our women showed their depth and strength in all of their events today," head coach Chuck Knoles said. "Despite swimming in events they don't typically compete in, we won every race. That is quite an accomplishment on any level of competition. The team is looking forward to the Big East Championship over the next two weeks."
Lee won three individual events in the meet. She touched for first in the 200 fly (2:07.24), 200 breast (2:19.44) and 200 IM (2:06.84). Lee held a five-second advantage over the second-place finisher in the 200 breast.
Lee was also the second leg of the 200 medley relay team that captured first (1:47.05). The squad was made up of junior Joanna Budzis, Lee, senior Tamara Lelli and freshman Jessica Nederlanden.
In individual events, Nederlanden won the 100 back (59.44) and Budzis claimed a meet crown in two others. She touched for first in the 100 fly (58.88) and tied junior Kelsey Herbst as the winners of the 50 free (24.47).
Herbst was the first Panther to the wall in the 100 free (52.63), while freshman Cam Dixon was second (53.44). In another freestyle event, junior Yolandi Van Der Merwe won the 200 free (1:54.34) and Lelli finished third (1:55.21). Freshman Tatyanna Sarjeant captured first in both the 500 (5:06.87) and 1,000 free (10:29.75). Placing second in those events was freshman Emily Bolek.
A pair of freshman went first and second in the 200 back, as Kelsey Williams won the event (2:07.54) and Brooke Waugaman followed Williams to the wall.
Freshman Dani des Tombe won the 100 breast (1:07.45), while sophomores Lauren Matevish placed second in the 200 fly (2:08.91) and 200 IM (2:12.08).
The 200 free relay team of des Tombe, Sarjeant, freshman Lauren Mills and Budzis won the race at 1:36.56.
In diving action, the Panthers swept the 1M board. Sophomore Tori Brungo won the event (259.55) and junior Brittany DiSanti and sophomore Kimberly Ciotti rounded out the top three.
In the 3M event, freshman Angelika McGhee claimed first with 249.20 points. DiSanti trailed for second with 244.45 points.
The Panthers will host the Big East Championship at Trees Pool, beginning on Feb. 10. Diving events are set for Feb. 10-12. Swimming is scheduled for Feb. 15-18.

SFDS Competes In First CYO Cross Country Race
SFDS Competes In First
CYO Cross Country Race
A sure sign autumn as arrived is hundreds of runners gathering in Alley Pond Park for the first of four CYO Cross Country meets. On Sunday, September 29th, a beautiful sunny day with perfect running conditions, the Developmental Meet was held. Unlike most XC races, there was no team scoring, but medals were awarded to the top 25 runners in each race. There were separate races for boys and girls, divided by age. St. Francis de Sales fielded a squad of 63 runners, a mix of seasoned veterans and nervous rookies, each willing to push themselves to their limit and experience the joy of racing.
Danny Edwards, SFDS's lone senior, started things off by cranking a 6:45, sans warm-up, for 3rd place in the 1.1-mile Senior race.
Next up were the Junior Girls, 11 and 12 year olds, led by the veteran Shinann Featherston running the .8-mile course in 5:48 for first place. Newcomer Tara Mullen ran out of real estate in her pursuit of 2nd place to capture 3rd in 5:53. Hard charging Sarah Donahue placed 9th in 6:19. Rookies Alexi Girlando, Zoe Piccolo and Anne McCaffrey earned medals along with Annie Werner and Susan Richter. Michelle Kinel, also running her first race, placed 28th, for a great showing for the Junior Girls.
The Junior Boys, led by Greg Pulkoski running 5:29 to place 6th, had Brian Collier, Sean Kearney, Matt Cusmiani, JP Weber, Ryan Hurley and Chris Forman winning medals, with Robbie Tyne, Timmy McGovern and Timmy Pastina running well.
The spirited Novice Girls, ages 7 and 8, ran their 1/2 mile race with Lisa Pulkoski, Kathleen Woods, Catherine Murphy and Charlotte Werner earning medals, followed by Marissa Scotto, Stephanie Tsamasiros, Marlene Macron, Bridget Buckley, Casey McDade and Katlyn Sluyk.
The largest race is the Novice Boys. SFDS had eighteen feisty boys elbowing for room at the starting line. Led by Patrick Kilgallen in 6th place in 3:53 and followed closely by Jack Hurley (8th, 3:55), Ryan Kilgallen (10th, 4:01), Danny Donahue, and Ryan McQuade attaining medals. Charlie Marquardt, Christopher Ray, Sean Morgan, Thomas Tyne, Michael Olsen, Eugene Boggiano, Bart Featherston, Jimmy Buckley, Anthony and Mike Castellano, Patrick Goldberg, Mike Massoni and Ciaran McGee all ran solid races.
After patiently watching their SFDS teammates race, the Bantams, ages 9 and 10, lined up for their .6 mile race. Catherine Edwards and Sarah Werner won medals, followed by Fallon Mullen and Lauren Kane. Sean Towey led the Boys' race wire to wire (1st, 4:13), followed by Steve Pulkoski (3rd, 4:14), Kilby Featherston (6th, 4:17), Shane Brunner, Ryan Biddiscombe, Thomas Ryan, and Brian Woods, all winning medals. Also running well were Paul Sacks, James Goldberg, Ariel Feldman, Paul Massoni, and Terence Munns.
It was a great first meet for SFDS, with 35 runners winning medals and two capturing first place. Thanks to Mary Beth and Laura for the scoring. Want to join the fun?

Who we are:
Our team…
Polina Fedorova is a founder of the school. She works as a photographer for clients like ELLE, VOGUE, VANITY FAIR, and photo editor for several widely distributed Russian magazines(Mir, Afisha…). Polina has been teaching photography in Montreal since 2006.
Polina Fedorova – Portfolio
For beginners:
If you are a beginner, just bought a DSLR camera, or shoot mainly in AUTO mode, the photography course for beginners would be the best starting point in your digital photography study.
During the lessons you start practicing with the camera as soon as you learned a new topic. We offer 1-day, 3-day or 5-day photography course for beginners.
Modern digital single-lens cameras (DSLR) are affordable today, but the majority of owners are lacking the basic entry level skills. The main challenging task is to stop shooting in AUTO mode, and start using the full potential of your camera in MANUAL mode.
It is amazing how many options you will have as soon as you understand the main three things : shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. This is a must for a beginner, whether you want to become a pro, or just shoot for fun.
Other good news, is that there is no need to understand all the technical details, just an idea how shutter speed, aperture, and ISO change the picture. But, on the other hand, it is extremely important to feel their mutual relationships and side effects. This is not so difficult as it sounds. As a photography teacher, I can say, that this is not more complicated than driving skill.
At the end of the course, students learn how to take photographs like a professional and how to get the most out of their cameras.
For intermediate:
If you already have a certain level of proficiency with a camera in Manual mode, you can go directly to Intermediate course and fully explore more subtle aspects of technique. We will provide many exercises and situations that will broaden your knowledge and scope.
For photographers:
Our regular photography workshops will give you a chance to polish your skills working under the supervision of a professional photo editor. You keep all the copyrights on your pictures and you can use them in your portfolio. We provide all the studio equipment and models for the shooting.
One-On-One Study:
For those who prefer private study, private lessons with Polina would be the best choice.
Private lessons ensure you are learning only what you specifically need, not revisiting what you already know.
This is more intensive study. Usually we cover all the topics from the course for beginners in 4 hours.
We schedule private lessons individually. Please write at email@example.com.
For businesses:
We can train your personnel and set up a custom photography studio for your business.
You can save a lot when you don't have to pay professional photographers.
The minimum requirements is to have a DSLR camera. We have no strict age limitation in our classes.
Ongoing experience
Over the years, an intimacy has developed between students ant teachers that has made the photo school an ongoing experience in their lives.
Often old student will return to take advantage of the well organised setting we offer.

Course Reviews
"I would like to thank you for the quick photography course that you gave me. In only four hours you have succeeded to give me the basic knowledge to take great photos. Even though I don't speak English very well (in fact almost not at all) you're explanations were simple and crystal clear. I'm very thrilled to know that, some day, I will learn from you again, Thank you so much Polina. You're the best!" – Marc M.
"I wanted to tell you that your course is worth every penny and more. You didn't just cram technical photography jargon down my throat – you took the time to explain how the different settings create different effects. You showed me that photography is really and truly an art. You showed me how to make mundane and ordinary picture opportunities, exciting and creative. Thank you, Polina!" – Jason B.
"I took a 2-hour private lesson and it was really great. Easy to understand, funny and very useful. I was taking photos with a film camera when I was a teenager (in 70s-80s), but after it was just taking shots with automatic chip camera or a cell phone. Recently I bought a decent SLR camera from Canon so wanted to lear more. This was a very useful experience it is incomparable what I could do with my camera before and after the lesson, when I learned how you can achieve effects you want by manually changing parameters. Now I will gain experience and come back for an "advanced" course." Alex Pchejetski.
"Finally, somebody who knows how to simplify the understanding of the basic principals of photography, thank you, Polina." – Bob Olivier

Forest Play
Script by: skydarkangel26
Status: Finished
Genre: Horror
Forest Play Screenplay
By: Sheldon Hoffman
Characters: Thompson
Adam Fair
The killer
First Scene (Walking into a forest in late autumn)
Thompson and Adam are walking through the forest for about five minutes few words exchanged. Before scene change very quick glimpse of The Killer.
Second Scene (Stopped Walking eat lunch sat down)
Discussing resent unsolved killing (planned out script)
In last shot as T and A get up to leave camera rotates to far behind them to the killer who is now obviously aggressively stalking them.
Third scene (abandoned Structure in forest or Field)
Henry sitting whittling piece of wood old radio playing music. T and A exchange a few words and discover Henry to be unsettling.
Fourth Scene ( The night is starting to descend upon the forest)
Thompson tells Adam he may have heard a rustling in the trees and he thought he saw someone. Both are slightly more worried. In the distance a howl of agony. Thompson and Adam decide to end their hike and start back home. Jogging almost running through the forest scene begins to fad last glimpse of killer hiding in the bushes.
Fifth Scene (return to abandoned Building)
Adam tells Henry he believes there is some chasing them. Henry laughs and continues sitting. Adam and Thompson decide to leave him. But soon discover they are lost and decide to return and ask Henry for Help despite Adams wishes to continue walking. On return the find Henry's body slaughtered lying face down on the ground. (this next part may be altered.)Incredibly frightened and worried the two make a rash decision to stick out the night at the building. If worst came to worst they'd defend their self. the last shot of scene we see the killer close by once again.
Sixth Scene (morning and the end)
Both Adam and Thompson wake obviously still alive but a little surprised. They talk about the night before and the ghastly task of informing the police about the dead Henry. As they get up Adam stops staring at a wall(tree) out of camera view. Thompson follows his gaze and his jaw drops there is Henry lying in a clump on the ground covered in blood on the wall (tree) smiley face smeared in blood. Next to the face stands the killer quiet still. Adam and Thompson try to get up but stumble. Then Thompson begins to plead. The killer raises is finger to motion silence. And slowly walks toward the two the camera begins to zoom out to the forest and the surrounding landscape in the distance you hear a scream then silence except for the forest.

Inspecting the 24,000 electronic pull boxes owned by Clark County, Nev., takes one-fourth the time it used to.
Former Public Works Systems Administrator Jim Houser used AccuSpeechMobile from Vangard Voice Systems to add voice capability to employees' mobile lap-tops, then paid $9,000 for the company to develop an interface with the department's ESRI ArcGIS database.
"We went out into the field, we put on the headsets, and we ran through the program," Houser says. When vocally responding to voice-generated prompts, inspectors spent an average of 4 minutes — not the usual 18 — to fill out 10 or so fields on the laptop-resident form.
"Speech will throw all your productivity scales out the window," Houser says. "It'll bring to the table the same thing that GIS brought to asset management."
Houser urges interested infrastructure departments to jump in now, while vendors are trying to break into the government market. Houser budgeted $50,000 to buy 20 licenses so the technology can be used to update 92 miles of storm drains.
Crusade against chromium is justified
After a decade of debate, federal scientists say that the contaminant featured in the 2000 docudrama Erin Brockovich does indeed cause cancer.
National Toxicology Program scientists report that a two-year study "clearly demonstrates" that hexavalent chromium, also known as Chromium 6, is carcinogenic in drinking water. The chemical is used to produce stainless steel, manufacture textiles, and preserve wood.
California, where the events depicted in the movie took place, is expected to propose a new health guideline as a result. The groundwater of a town near a Pacific Gas and Electricity facility that used hexavalent chromium to counter rust in cooling towers contained concentrations of up to 580 ppb, more than five times the national drinking water standard of 100 ppb for total chromium compounds.
Rubber meets the roadside
Cities and counties can get grants of up to $500,000 a year from the California Integrated Waste Management Board to use rubberized asphalt in hot mixes and chip seals. But if they use tire-derived aggregate for another application, the board gives it away for free.
That's one reason the Sonoma County Department of Transportation and Public Works uses the material to control erosion along 1,300 miles of road. After repairing a 75-foot slide along 1,000 feet of rural road last year, the department recently saved $300,000 on a project that consumed 6,400 cubic yards.
"The use of rubber aggregate in the design of the repair doubles the safety factor due to the light weight," says Deputy Director Tom O'Kane. "The material is easy to spread, compact, and cover. As long as there's a supply of chipped tires, we'll use it in these cases."
The aggregate ranges in size from 25 millimeters to 300 millimeters and costs $25 to $55/ton. It's highly permeable and absorbs vibrations well, making it an attractive alternative to building retaining walls or importing volcanic rock.
Energy exchange cuts greenhouse gases
An energy-recovery-and-reuse system developed by the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission and a private fuel producer has earned the EPA's Energy Star Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Award.
The commission leased land from the POET Biorefining ethanol plant in Laddonia, Mo., to install a 20,000-hp natural gas-fired combustion turbine that generates up to 13 MW of electricity for operations.
Designed by Shafer, Kline, and Warren Inc. and centered on a Solar Turbines product, the system requires 26% less fuel than typical onsite thermal generation options and has an operating efficiency of 67%. "The electricity generated by the gas turbine helps keep electric rates stable for municipal electric customers throughout Missouri," says John Grotzinger, COO of the commission, whose members provide electricity to 347,000 retail customers.
The program recognizes projects that use at least 5% less fuel than state-of-the-art, comparable separate heat and power generation.
Proposed accessibility rule change postponed
In response to a request by the Obama administration, the U.S. Department of Justice has withdrawn its final draft of rule changes to Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
The new rules would allow state and local governments to use the International Building Codes instead of the Americans with Disabilities Accessibility Guidelines to ensure facilities meet accessibility requirements.
It also proposes that standards be expanded to playgrounds and existing recreational facilities such as swimming pools, boating facilities, and golf courses; dormitories; arenas; and court facilities, which would have to provide a ramp or lift for raised witness stands.
The final rule isn't expected until late this year at the earliest. In the meantime, public agencies must continue to follow existing regulations, including the ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
Chinese turn e-waste into asphalt modifier
Old circuit boards can be recycled through a process that separates toxic heavy metals from polychlorinated biphenyl, leaving behind a fine, metal-free powder that can be added to virgin polymer to make asphalt modifier.
What's more, the recycled polymers are just as effective as virgin polymers.
"The nonmetals consist of thermosetting polymers, fiberglass, brominated flame retardants, and other additives," says the report from two universities in Shanghai. "Thermosetting polymers cannot be re-melted or reformed because of their network structure," which makes them strong additives.
The report goes on to note that "the use of waste polymers as asphalt modifiers is considered a rather new and interesting way of modification because it involves two important aspects: waste material utilization and asphalt property enhancement. In our previous research, the nonmetals were reused as reinforcing fillers … proving that the nonmetals can be a good filler for different polymer matrixes."
In 2007 Americans threw out 2.2 million tons of electronics. Nearly three-quarters of heavy metals found in landfills are from such waste, and more than 70% of a circuit board is plastic.
Private-sector salaries drop as backlogs dwindle
The shrinking construction market spurred 21% of architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firms to cut principals' pay in 2008, according to a survey conducted by ZweigWhite.
The business management services firm reports a $5,000 drop in principals' salaries since 2007, when median base salary reached a 10-year high of $135,000. The median principal base salary in 2006 was $130,000.
As firms continue to react to the market's contractions late last year, senior-level salaries may drop even lower.
"Like many economic indicators, these statistics reflect activity and conditions from several months ago," says ZweigWhite CEO and President Ian Rusk. "Many firms were carried through the early months of the recession by healthy backlogs, and are just now feeling the real cash flow impact of the downturn. We've heard from more firms looking to adjust compensation of senior management in the last two months than we did all year."
Fleet expands list of alternative fuels
Fifteen police SUVs owned by Hoover, Ala., are the first in the nation to be fueled by "cellulose-based ethanol."
Since last year public works has sent ground-up tree branches to Gulf Coast Energy Inc., a 2-year-old alternative-fuel manufacturer, to experiment with at a demonstration plant. The company wants to build three commercial plants throughout the state that are expected to produce 200 gallons of ethanol for every ton of wood chips. When they're up and running, the city could save $100,000 in tipping fees to landfill the 2,000 tons of wood waste it collects each year.
"Our goal all along has been to be cellulosic," says Fleet Management Director David Lindon, whose operation converts used cooking oil into biodiesel for 186 trucks and pieces of equipment and maintains 196 more vehicles that run on ethanol. "Corn's not the answer because you can't raise enough to fuel the country. Once that plant is up, we could be self-sufficient within 18 months."
General Motors has authorized the city to use the cellulose-based ethanol on its police fleet of flexible-fuel 2005 Chevrolet Tahoes. "There was absolutely no difference in performance from corn-based ethanol," says Lindon.
The process that converts cellulose — gasification — has been used mainly on coal. In this case, the wood waste is ground and fed into a dryer. It's subjected to intense heat that forms a synthetic gas by separating the carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen. A microorganism introduced to the process then ingests the gas and produces ethanol and water.

Close to two hundred people showed up to the Vancouver Art Gallery this afternoon in a demonstration for peace in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
"I hope that Canadians understand that we're really supporting the same kind of democratic rights and freedoms that they do," said Saar Regev. "It's not a demonstration it's a peace rally, we're here to show support for Israel for it's right to defend itself."
The message by many at the rally – organized by Israeli-Canadians – is for peace and asking Canadians to make an educated opinion on the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
"With the internet today, people can get a lot of information and they can choose. Whatever they choose, it should be for the right reasons," said another demonstrator.
"Form your own opinion, but by all means, from an informed opinion and above all, because we're in Canada, and because we're Canadians, support civilized debate."
The protestors gathered for about 3 hours.
Police on duty at the event say there was no violence and it was a peaceful rally.

Lightning Dumping Salaries, Gaining Draft Picks
Tampa Bay Lightning GM Steve Yzerman got rolling well in advance of the NHL trade line, off-loading salary and collecting draft picks to facilitate his overhaul.
A quick summary:
The Lightning sent rugged winger Steve Downie to Colorado for defenseman Kyle Quincey, then sent Quincey to Detroit for a first-round draft pick minor-league defenceman Sebastien Piche. Earlier deals sent Pavel Kubina to Philly and Dominic Moore to San Jose.
So Yzerman has two first-round choices and three second rounders in 2012. He will also get Florida's 2012 or 2013 second round pick as part of the Kubina trade; Stevie Y. gets to pick the year.
Here is how the Twitterverse reacted:
Pierre LeBrun: "Lots of picks for Tampa to try for a goalie come the off-season, keep that in mind . . ."
Andy Strickland: "Kyle Quincey is an underrated D-man... proved to be a good partner for Erik Johnson who has been playing his best hockey the last 25 games."
Craig Custance: "By trading for RFA defenseman rather than rental, Red Wings in better shape if Brad Stuart leaves on July 1 to head back west."
Bob McKenzie: "DET likes/knows Quincey, former Wing. Good insurance if Brad Stuart goes to UFA or Lidstrom retires, tho many in DET think Nick comes back."
James Mirtle: "Guess I shouldn't have bought that Lightning jersey with Quincey on the back . . ."
Kevin Paul Dupont: "At rate Yzerman is making deals, must make Shanny-like video to explain details, reveal plot lines, hint at next move(s). Appt TV."
James Mirtle: "Holland on Quincey: 'We know him very well as we drafted him in 2003, helped him mature into an NHL player and watched his career develop.'"

Since I started on Brandish just over a year ago, I have repeatedly examined how trends begin in womenswear and eventually make the leap to menswear some few seasons later. Well now the Ombré trend worked by womenswear designers such as Jonathan Saunders and Prada almost three seasons ago has been dished out in rather glorious spades by designer Robert Geller.
Yay or Nay: Headwear at Duckie Brown
As we move to New York with our menswear coverage, the entire Brandish team has begun searching the shows for particular looks, gossip and moments that have caught our attention. And if there is one designer who has so far got people talking, it would have to be Duckie Brown. This label, designed by Steven Cox and Daniel Silver, has been trend-setting in previous seasons and over the last eight years it has definitely become one to watch for editors and writers alike.
So, with that said, what do you think of the label's latest headwear designs. Loud, outrageous and not just a bit odd, would you be willing to rock this monumental millinery?

Sometimes the whole political creature gets so fascinated with its own navel, the media staring intently full frontal at it as well, that frustration in the suburbs and the regions goes from anger to bitter disillusionment. Neither Craig Thomson nor Peter Slipper is going to resign and therefore the current demise of the government is greatly exaggerated.
The independents will always choose the sinking boat to the shark-infested sea of their electorate. They are waiting for an act of ''gross malfeasance'' before they would withdraw their support for the current chaos. Well what are they looking for? An active terrorist cell at Aussie's Cafe in Parliament? A bordello on the second floor of the Senate or maybe an ''alleged'' bank robbery could tip the Independent's scruples? It is so depressing, so I will turn my attention to issues before the nation rather than inside the parliament.
In this column at the start of the year, I stated that ''Europe is in more strife than the US and it appears, whether they like it or not, that Germany and southern Europe may soon split the economic sheets''. This process is now under way and as I stated before, could make the first GFC look like a mere preamble to the real one. Without wishing to be Cassandra, two years ago I warned about the global debt issue and Australia's naivety to its own debt trajectory.
The grim assessment of exposure to southern European debt is now seminal to any economic prognosis. The Australian Parliament is applying for its fourth debt ceiling in three years, taking its overdraft limit to $300 billion. In Canberra this will be paid back with your job, and the fault lies with those who got you into this financial mess.
It is always perplexing when the government concentrates on an issue that we have not a chance of affecting, such as changing the temperature of the globe with a carbon tax, but they cannot select a speaker without creating a national crisis or properly resolve getting the Member for Dobell to pay back the lazy half a million that he has lifted from his furious union members.
Similarly we pay for, and are asked to believe without question, Professor Tim Flannery's and Will Stefan's dire predictions of imminent devastating global warming, yet all the resources of Treasury, only a year out, seem incapable of coming within a bull's roar of what our deficit will be.
But now to a domestic problem for Australia which, if you wait long enough, you will even see in the ACT. This is a problem that has been quietly growing and is now out of control in many areas of regional Australia. It is a problem that we could solve if we concentrated more on the actual job of government and less on the personal soap opera and climate metaphysics.
Wild dogs are not dingos. They are a large mongrel breed that savage both domestic stock and native animals such as koalas. Enlightened souls in an urbane environment may start sniggering now, suggesting the wild dogs could fix the kangaroo problem in Canberra, but in many areas of Queensland lambing is impossible because the dogs eat them. Dogs that have had tracking devices placed on them at Charleville have been shot a month or so later 600km away near Moree. Wild dogs working in packs can devastate calving and if you want to see real cruelty, watch wild dogs mauling a calving cow.
The wild dog fence has fallen into disrepair in areas because of the flood, baiting is haphazard and the effect of the baits has diminished. You can get professional doggers in to kill this vicious pest but at $500 a dog and maybe a hundred on a place, it is for many beyond their budget. This is the conversation you have at the Charleville Show.
The government's ability to close down the live cattle trade but unable to be even cognisant of the issue of wild dogs is a classic portrayal of how Australians have become completely disillusioned in the efficacy of government. You can see them switch off as you ask ''what can the government do to help?''
The government, in their eyes, is not capable of anything apart from a litany of rolling fiascos and pathological spending. The government is a second grade soap opera masquerading as adults on the nightly news.

- - Need to rehome 2 year old female in WI (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/non-urgent-gsd-rescue-adoption/460042-need-rehome-2-year-old-female-wi.html)
Need to rehome 2 year old female in WI
We have made the very hard decision to rehome our 2 yo female. She is trying to be the alpha with our 7 yo male. She isn't fixed (please do not hate - we are financially having alot of issues and may end up losing our house) and can't afford to get her fixed. We have tried to go to spay and neuter clinics but we make too much and are not on any types of public assistance.
Anyway, we have tried different behavior modifications, more play time, more one on one time, everything other than hiring a trainer (which we can't afford). She is a great dog and knows basic commands and will play fetch for hours (if our arms would last that long). She has ALOT of energy. She is territorial and will bark if someone comes near the fence in our back yard and has to have a muzzle put on if someone comes in the house (this is more for our peace of mind). She hasn't bit anyone. This is why I would prefer to have a rescue or someone that is used to this type of behavior and not put her on craigslist or give her to a friend that isn't used to a GSD.
I have contacted the area GSD rescues but only a few have responded and are not able to take another rescue in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
my suggestion would be, to have her spayed prior to placing her, charge that as a fee for the dog.
Check with your local vets offices, sometimes they have clients looking to adopt.
Unless a rescue takes her, I would not place her unspayed, and I would be very thorough in checking references of potential adopters.
What about the breeder you got her from? Also check with local training centers they may know of adopters.
** added, just read some of your previous postings, so this girl has had two litters of puppies. Definitely get her spayed, rehome her or sell your two young puppies to cover the cost of spaying. I guess it bothers me, that you've had two litters of pupppies, kept a couple, and now because she has behaviorial issues you want to rehome her...
Agree with everything Diane said above - and did you try White Paws? They take dogs from all over. White Paws German Shepherd Rescue, Wisconsin Someone on this board is part of that group too....
Maureen is the person - maybe PM and then contact them.
21 Attachment(s)
Where are you located in WI? Where is the dog from? Any ideas on the lines?
PM me the information if you don't want to share it on the forum. I have some resources that we could work with.
Mid- Atlantic German Shepherd Rescue - they have a non-magsr page for owners. Check with them as well. magsr.org
Mid Atlantic is in Maryland. They can do a courtesy post, as most rescues will. You need to recheck with White Paws and see if they will courtesy post her on petfinder for you or if they will take her if you continue to keep her until a home is found.
Check the Michigan and Minnesota rescues as well. You need to look much close to you than Maryland.
What is her pedigree? Is she registered? Where is her breeder?

Today's daily deal is for the Henry Repeating Arms US Survival AR7 22lr for $254.99 + shipping. Since 1959, the venerable AR-7 has been the choice of U.S. Air Force pilots who need a small-caliber rifle they can count on for survival should they have to punch out over a remote area. Over the years, the AR-7's reputation for portability, ease of operation and reliability has carried over to the civilian world as well.
Today, it's a favorite of bush pilots, backpackers and backcountry adventurers who, like their Air Force counterparts, need a rifle that's easy to carry but has the accuracy to reliably take down small game.
Like the original Henry US Survival Rifle, the latest take on this innovative, semi-automatic rifle is lightweight (just 3.5 lbs) and highly portable. At just 16 ½" long (when all the components are stowed), it fits easily into the cargo area of a plane or boat or in a backpack. And because it's chambered in .22LR you can carry a large quantity of ammunition, without adding much weight to your gear.
When disassembled, the pieces fit inside the impact-resistant, water-resistant stock. Assembly is as easy as attaching the receiver to the stock, inserting the barrel and screwing on the barrel nut. In just a few seconds, without the need for any tools, the Henry U.S. Survival AR-7 is ready for action.
The Henry U.S. Survival AR-7 comes standard with a sturdy steel barrel covered in tough ABS plastic and then coated with Teflon for complete protection against corrosion. Plus, it's engineered for perfect balance and the ability to maintain its tack-driving accuracy, even after thousands of rounds.
Like the barrel, the receiver is also coated with a layer of waterproof Teflon for superior weatherproofing, waterproof protection, even in harsh salt water environments. Plus, the updated receiver is grooved making it easy to top it off with your favorite optics.
All models are equipped with an adjustable rear sight and a blade front sight.
When you order your firearm, don't forget to get it DuraCoated! We offer many different colors, camo patterns, and custom designs. We can also DuraCoat firearms that you already own!

The Event
Grammy Award-winner Rod Stewart will blast out a mix of his greatest hits in his inimitable rasp during this live concert. The 69-year-old rock star will croon singles from his recent album Time, including romantic ballad Brighton Beach and Can't Stop Me Now. He'll also dip into his back catalogue of crowd-pleasers, including Maggie May and Love Train. The Stoke show will mark the 40th anniversary of the last time he rocked the city, while Rod last brought Brighton's house down in 1986.
Choose from the following options for one ticket to Rod Stewart live:
£55 for American Express Community Stadium, Brighton on 13 June (21% off)
£55 for Britannia Stadium, Stoke on 14 June (21% off)
£55 for Bloomfield Road, Blackpool on 20 June (21% off)
The Telegraph
The Guardian
Rod Stewart's 2013 performance at the O2 Arena garnered applause from both The Telegraph and The Guardian. Both agreed that Stewart's ability to work a crowd remains undiminished, and that his everyday charm married with his gravelly-voiced delivery of a plethora of rousing hits made for a great evening.
"After kicking off with Can't Stop Me Now, to remind us that he's made a very successful new album, Rod ripped into the heart of his catalogue with You Wear It Well, This Old Heart Of Mine and Tonight's The Night. He paused after a jog through Sam Cooke's Twistin' The Night Away to apologise for his voice sounding less than 100 per cent, but hardly anybody can have noticed since they were all screaming out the words themselves and waving their arms in the air."

Date of Stay: July, 2012
I agree with the previous post. We were there a year ago and returned this year. When we got there the place was a mess. Hole in the office roof covered by a tarp, shingles still laying on the ground. What used to be the pool was now just a mud pit. The Wi-FI did not work. In the 2 weeks we were there, the men's room/shower was never cleaned as demonstrated by the same debris on the floor that was there on our first day still being there 2 weeks later. The interior walls and floor were covered with black mold. The office would not honor Passport America. The place has really gone downhill . Only positive is location in the valley on a nice creek
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Great location right off the interstate for our overnight stay. Pull thru to accommodate the MH and toad . Voltage was very good. Rest rooms and grounds were spotless. Staff was very friendly .
Date of Stay: March, 2012
Basically a clear field with sand/weedy uneven sites. No shade. No picnic tables and no fire pits. Lots of ants. Electric was fine, voltage always in acceptable range. Cable TV worked OK. Did not use the rest rooms as there was only one rest room building for the CG and it was probably a 1/4 mile from where they parked us.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
We arrived about 30 minutes before check-in time and were told to leave the property even though there were ample empty spaces. I asked the attendant if she could check to see if my site was available. She said that would cost me and extra $10 for her to check. I refused to pay and she told me to leave and come back in 20 minutes. This campground is on a 2 lane road. We had to drive several miles to find a safe spot to wait. When we returned , they put us in a spot in a field that was very wet and muddy. The person who escorted us to the "site" said to make sure I put down several boards under the levelers as they would sink into the mud. Overall a very bad experience.
Date of Stay: June, 2009
Very nice campground. Pull thru site(#16) we had was huge. Room for the MH,toad and at least an extra 30 feet. Bathroom/showeres were modern and very clean. It is a long walk to the river, over 1/2 mile so carrying a canoe or kayak would be a challenge. Voltage was great at 120 v during our stay, but there were only a few other RV's there.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
We camped here over the 4th of July and attended the Pepsi 400 at nearby Daytona Beach. This campground was in very poor condition. The grass hadn't been mowed is some time, there were ruts in the grass. No pads/gravel for the motorhomes. The voltage was constantly low, just a bit over 100V the entire weekend. The restrooms were a disaster. The picnic table at our site was rotted away and not usable. All of this for only $93/night - 3 x their normal rate due to it being race weekend. We will not stay here again.

I finally got my ccw class done yesterday, with a few friends of mine. I had a great time with the class (it was 12 hours) and to my surprise, I learned a lot, and was not once bored. My instructor was a very informative, highly experienced guy. He has been an NRA licensed instructor for many years, and routinely shoots in the local competitions, which I plan on getting into soon. Here are a few notes of interest that I thought I would share with everyone, after I finished the course:
1. I have always been partial to semi autos, and I still am. But after learning a lot more about them during my training, I am a lot more likely to go out and buy a nice revolver. The instructor brought 17 different handguns (if I remember correctly) and just about every caliber and pistol type and feature were well represented. We had the opportunity to shoot each and get a good feel for everything.
2. At the end of our shooting session, we were put into a "pressure situation". It was set up with targets staging a "bank robbery" in which one of the BG's had a hostage. It was our job to walk into the bank and quickly empty our 6 rounds from our semi auto into the 3 BG's without hitting the hostage. (distance was roughly 20 feet, maybe slightly less.) At that point, 2 more BG's come out of the back room. Your semi is empty and you do not have time to reload. You must quickly pick up the revolver from the downed security guard, and put 2 rounds into each of the remaining BG's. With 12 total shots, I slightly missed the 2nd target with one bullet. :mrgreen:The rest of the shots were very solid head shots, and I completed the test in about 10 seconds.
3. I found that shooting a 357 magnum from a gun that weighs 12 ounces empty can really leave a mark....on your hand.:smt076 It was a neat little wheel though.
4.:smt1099 I am all for gun rights. I feel that it is our responsibility to protect ourselves, and it is foolish to rely on someone else to do it for you ( ie: police). Having said that, It is my opinion that anyone and everyone that owns a handgun should be required to take a course led by a competent instructor like I had this last weekend. Regardless of your plans for the gun, whether you will carry or not. I am not new to guns, or even handguns, but I left the course with a great deal more knowledge than I had entering the day, and a heavily reinforced respect for guns and safety.
Sorry to everyone for the excessively long post, but I wanted to share my experience with you all.

My dog has separation extreme separation anxiety and I am running out of options.
Every time i leave the house he destroys anything he can touch and pees everywhere. I cant leave him outside, its too cold and he can find a way out easily. I have tried to kennel him but he chewed through a solid tough kennel. He is about 1 and a half, i got him 5 months ago from the SPCA. I now understand why he was in there. I really want to work through this, i have no desire to get rid of my dog.

It's really nice to hear you have no desire to return your dog. There is currently a thread on the main site in the Behaviour & Training forum about a dog with Separation Anxiety. You might find some of the advice and discussion there helpful, so do check it out.
Separation Anxiety is one of the most difficult behaviours to work on and as the owner of a SA dog myself ( Tyler ) my only advice would be to find a fully qualified and positive based behaviourist who can assess your dog in person and offer you the help you need.
Good luck!

Track day today
Went to the 1/8th today, best time was a 9.24 at 75. With a 2.0 sixty foot. Bested my next door neighbors trans am, and a bunch of mustangs. Was a 1/2 second away from a supercharged gt, so get some exhaust and a better launch, and I am there!
nice very nice
Not bad. IIRC, my time was around the same. My friend with the 240sx I went against was pretty mad that I beat him in my stock WRX at my first drag ever. He was heavily modded. AWD launch dominates the 1/8 drag.

We Love Home, Glasswalls.
Hi everybody I am a regular Home user and forum lurkerer lol, I know alot of you guys from in Home, so hi guys =)
Anywayyy, down to brass tacks lol: This is an open message to Glasswalls, the rest of the NA Home Team, and the community at large.
I never felt the need to post before, because between this forum and all of my lovely friends on home, I get all the answers and help I need with the many things in home that are unexplained or lacking clear directions. I've also been known to lend a helping hand at times for people if they need it.
This really is an amazing community, teeming with love and support. There are some very special people who are willing to lend a helping hand in lieu of a professional, reliable, and punctual management team.
There was a time a few years back when getting ANY response from ANYONE affiliated with Sony was nothing short of a miracle. But Home has grown wings, and NA has become a cash cow.
Some of this has been blown out of proportion, but many of these unhappy voices crying out have been with Home since the beginning. They brought your platform out of the womb.
The people on the forum do not trust the NA Home Team, and it is not because they are being unreasonable, or don't want to -- it is from experience. They are not ungrateful – they love Home, they love the platform, and they want it to succeed.
This distrust has been earned.
You may feel you know what is best for your customers. You might feel our complaints are unreasonable. Fine. But we are putting food in your mouth.
You might feel you don't need to make any updates that won't directly increase your bottom line. Eventually you won't be able to laugh to yourself as you do what you wish and ignore our comments, after all, people are still continuously buying crap regardless, right? Right?
No, I'm not threatening to leave. I'm not threatening to boycott. I'm not threatening. I love Home. I love to decorate. I love to dress up. I love my friends. Home is something special and unique, unlike anything else that has ever been done.
If you want the community's respect, please be worthy of respect. Listen. Answer questions. Please don't dismiss concerns with blanket statements and go into hiding while we frustratingly wax worst case scenarios.
We will not stop voicing our opinions. We will not go away, but the truth is one man on the inside can do far more damage than 5,000 screaming on a forum.
Glasswalls: The community needs you more than ever, and if you want Home to continue growing, you will also need our support. You don't have to agree with everything something does to love it -- and we are voicing our concerns first and foremost because we love Home!!!
Our symbiotic relationship has made Home a living, breathing organism sprawling with life. The community needs a beacon of hope. Please, be what we desperately need you to be right now. Thank you.
Re: We Love Home, Glasswalls.[ Edited ]
That is one heck of a first post! Wow!
Welcome to the active forum community! Your kitchen may be closed but I want whatever it is you're cooking!
Re: We Love Home, Glasswalls.
Welcome to PsHome forum active member community.
Awesome 1st post!

Re: We Love Home, Glasswalls.
Awesome post OP.
"The distrust has been earned." So very true. With me it was restricting targeting in the guise of helping out 2 idiots that had a hard time targeting a chair in their apartment. Right. The real purpose was to eliminate a form of glitching, harmless glitching at that. Proper targeting is still effected and nothing has been done to improve it.
Now our save files are going to be stored on Sony's servers, which they say "should increase performance". If increasing performance were the actual reason for doing this, there'd be no "should" about it. I've never witnessed a train wreck, but I suspect I will this coming Wednesday. I'm also not looking forward to whatever other sneaky crap they have planned for us that we are unaware of right now.
I don't trust these guys as far as I could throw them. Dean
Re: We Love Home, Glasswalls.
Excellent post kitchen, you summed things up so very well and stated what I think should be obvious to all, but unfortunately doesn't seem to be.
It really comes down to the fact that people complain because they care. Certainly some of the complaints are petty, but overall, most are genuine cause for concern. It's shameful when good people become so disillusioned with this place that they take their leave simply because no one will answer a question or address a concern.
It's been suggested that some of us who "keep banging our heads against the wall" in a futile attempt to change things really have only two choices. Namely, we can accept the way things are and just deal with it, or, we can take our leave. I don't believe that. There's always going to be dissent, disagreement and debate...I'm thankful for that.

Anand, as per usual, does one of the more in-depth reviews we've seen of the Thunderbolt Displays. Some interesting notes:
- The Thunderbolt Display uses less power than the previous Cinema Display at its dimmest setting (likely just panel efficiency variance) and draws a bit more at max brightness.
- Pegasus hardware seems to cause serious audio issues which corrupts sound while large file transfers are happening. Expect a fix.
- There are some nuances with display daisy chaining. For instance, in one configuration Anand had to put a Promise RAID array between the two displays in a daisy chain to get them to work.
- Next year's Ivy Bridge will bring more Display options to Macs (and likely USB 3 since the controller is built into the Intel chipset). The future may also hold displays with GPUs built in.
- For a $1000 display, the speakers "were OK, but not great". The Camera and Mic were both good.
If you are considering getting one of these displays, check out the full review which was very favorable overall. MacConnection also has the lowest price we could find on the new Thunderbolt display at $979.
Update: Macworld put up a review this morning as well. 4/5 Stars.
I/O Stories September 20, 2011
We told you late last night that LaCie Thunderbolt disks were arriving in Apple Retail Stores. Today, LaCie officially announced the availability of its new products which hit the Apple online Store today for $399 (1TB) and $499 (2TB) earlier today.
That is a $100+ premium over their Firewire drives and you'll need a $49 Apple Thunderbolt Cable.
The LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt Series sets the new standard for the storage industry. Featuring a pair of 2.5″ drives in a Mac OS RAID configuration, the Little Big Disk delivers stunning read speeds more than 480MB/s in SSD and up to 190MB/s in HDD.
It appears that these drives are limited by the speed of the 2.5-inch drives, not by the bus as the faster SSD blows away the HDD version. It is curious that they didn't make a 3.5-inch variety which would have allowed for much greater speed and cost much less.
The SSD version will ship next month.
Promise sells their 4TB Thunderbolt RAID boxes for just over $1000, 8TB for $1500 and 12TB for $2000.
Full Press release follows: expand full story
LaCie's anticipated Thunderbolt-equipped Little Big Disk arrives at the Apple Store, along with Thunderbolt updates
Since Apple and Intel's joint announcement of the Thunderbolt high-speed I/O technology, one of the most anticipated products to make use of the technology has been the Thunderbolt-compatible Little Big Disk from LaCie. The drive – which comes in both HDD and SSD flavors – was announced all the way back in February for a "summer" launch, and is now finally arriving at Apple Stores in both the United States and internationally. LaCie's description of Thunderbolt and why it is important for a product like the Little Big Disk:
This new high-speed cable technology connects computers and electronic devices together like never before. Thunderbolt technology supports two 10Gb/s bi-directional channels from a single port, the fastest data connection available on a personal computer. At 10Gb/s, a full-length HD movie can be transferred in less than 30 seconds.
Since the drive carries two ports, it can be daisy chained. The drives have already arrived at Apple Stores, which suggest immediate availability, and we are expecting an official announcement from LaCie in the coming days. The hard disk drive variant with 1TB of storage will reportedly cost $399.
Update: here they are.
Apple also announced Thunderbolt updates, another firmware update and a software update for Snow Leopard…
