in Portland, Maine "Herring research is controversial. So, if everyone is mad at you, you're probably right there in the middle of it all," says Jason Stockwell. He laughs. Jason is a pelagic ecologist at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) in Portland, Maine. Jason is currently working on several research projects that focus on population dynamics in herring, alewives, and other fish. Jason grew up in Massachusetts and came to Northland in 1987, knowing that he wanted to study fisheries. A summer internship with the Lake Superior Biological Station in Ashland, Wisconsin, further cemented his love of fish and showed him the importance of quantitative skills in any sort of wildlife research. Math is the key. "Anyone can go out and catch a fish, squeeze it, measure it, all that stuff," says Jason. "It's what you do with that data afterwards that separates scientists from people who just like the outdoors." With that in mind, Jason double-majored in biology and mathematics at Northland. But he points out that his education wasn't just calculus and vertebrate physiology. He also took classes in everything from Native American worldviews to humanity and nature in literature. Jason graduated from Northland in 1991, and went directly into a doctoral program in zoology at the University of Toronto. After completing his Ph.D., he worked on post-doctoral research at Colorado State University and Michigan State

University. Before taking the position at GMRI, Jason returned to Ashland to serve as station chief for the Lake Superior Biological Station, the same facility where he interned as a student. Today, the broad perspective he gained at Northland helps him work with the varied stakeholders to whom his research is important. Research from the GMRI helps to inform the Herring Oversight Committee and other decision-makers in the New England Fisheries Management Council, the governing body for commercial fishing on the Atlantic Coast.
Ph.D. Candidate in East Lansing, Michigan "Our research is looking at what makes cisco tick," says Jared Myers, a Ph.D. candidate at Michigan State University. A cisco is essentially a freshwater herring. Jared is studying some of the factors that influence cisco populations in the Great Lakes, and he's not doing it alone. While majoring in biology at Northland, Jared worked for three summers as a student intern at the Lake Superior Biological Station in Ashland, Wisconsin, a United States Geological Survey (USGS) research facility focused on fisheries. At the time, Jason Stockwell (previous article) was serving as the station chief. When Jared graduated from Northland, Jason helped him write the grant that would fund his master's degree and, another that would support further research for his Ph.D. Jared's research involves working on the water for part of the year. In the fall, he works on the Kiyi, a USGS research vessel where he makes population estimates using hydro-acoustics. In the spring, he uses a small boat and conical nets to collect samples of cisco in their larval stage so he can estimate the number of offspring that have survived the winter. Continuing the connection with Northland, Jared hires current Northland students to help with the field portion of his research.

Law Student in South Royalton, Vermont For Scott Wold, a graduate student at Vermont Law School, being a lawyer isn't about money or notoriety. It's about having the power to make change happen. A former Northland College Student Association President, Scott is familiar with being a leader. But, when you ask him about a future in politics, he gives an emphatic "no." "Lawyers are the real movers and the shakers," he says. "If you want to change something, as a lawyer, you have the tool kit to do it."
"It's not the one class you look back on, or the one experience, it's everything put together." - Scott Wold
Scott also believes that Northland gave him the set of skills he needed to be successful at Vermont Law. The science and environmental policy courses he took for his major, environmental studies, gave him a strong background in those fields, but he also credits his overall courses and minor in philosophy with changing the way he thinks about issues. "That's the beauty of Northland," he says. "It's not the one class you look back on, or the one experience, it's everything put together." In addition to his law degree, Scott is also simultaneously working on a Master's degree in environmental law and policy. The combination of the two degrees, a special program at Vermont Law, will put Scott in a unique position to work on the environmental issues that interest him most. While he hasn't focused in on specific concerns yet, he hopes to get involved with issues related to freshwater, mostly protection and advocacy.

Rachel Penner, a middle school teacher in Mellen, Wisconsin, considered three main factors when choosing a college: She wanted to stay close to her family; she wanted to play basketball; and she wanted a great education. That's why she chose Northland. "It's all about making connections," says Rachel. "And if you want to make connections, Northland is the place to be. Because of the small campus and the close-knit community, you have the ability to make connections quickly." A native of Northern Wisconsin, Rachel was enrolled in the Mellen School District, about twenty miles south of Ashland. After graduating from high school she attended Northland and earned a degree in
Elementary Teacher in education with a minor in social studies. She also played basketball at Northland and served as the assistant sports information director. Now, Rachel teaches in the middle school that she attended as a child, and coaches both the middle and high school women's basketball teams for her district. "It's a balancing act," says Rachel of working in the schools. "And I learned how to find balance at Northland with all the things I was involved in."

That experience, along with other classroom visits early in her college career, solidified her interest in education, something that not all teaching programs can offer.

Entrepreneur in Naples, "Northland's great faculty and curriculum taught me to be inquisitive, to be compassionate, to look at problems from multiple angles," says John N. Allen, the CEO and owner of Industrial Equities, LLP, a Minneapolis real estate investment company. John majored in broadfield social science with minors in history and political science and then went on to earn a law degree from Hamline University. From an early age, John knew that he had no interest in practicing law in the traditional sense. But he had the foresight to know that a law degree would give him a competitive advantage in a complex business world — and, it has. He credits his one-on-one experience with professors and trustees for developing his public speaking skills and his ability to build persuasive arguments. These skill served him well in law school and later in business.

"My professors didn't teach me what to think, they taught me how to think, how to problem solve," says John. "If you're prepared to work hard, work smart and define your personal long-term vision, Northland will drive you," he says. "There are no limitations on what you can learn." Today, Industrial Equities owns more than three million square feet of commercial property in several areas of the country. Unlike many in the real estate business, John
Florida hasn't bought and sold property in quick deals. The company avoids looking for the fast dollar. They've simply collected good investments over time, and focused on a solid, long-range plan rather than a boom-and-bust business model. "Northland gave me a diverse educational background to prepare me not only for law school, but also to found a successful company," says John. Not all of that education came from a classroom. During his time on campus, John served as a senator in the Northland College Student Association and later as a student trustee on the Northland College Board of Trustees. That experience was pivotal for John. "Those small steps early in your career help you decide if you want to reach high—take big chances—or go the comfortable route. I wanted to reach high," says John.

Resource Conservation For Holly Wolfe, resource conservation manager for the David Douglas School District in Portland, Oregon, reducing our footprint on the world is a passion. But she knows that not everyone feels the same way. "Environmental education is very political," says Holly. "But when you speak in money terms, people can all agree. Financial savings is the way to sell it." For example, a five percent savings in the district's electric bill amounts to $37,000. That kind of money means the possibility of another full-time teaching position in the schools. So when it comes to getting everyone to turn off their lights at the end of the day or shut down their computers, it just makes sense. But there's more to Holly's job than just turning the lights off. She also ensures that resources aren't going to waste in other ways. By allocating state grant money to infrastructure improvements like new windows or higher efficiency heating and cooling systems, she's helping the buildings become more energy efficient. She also works with classes to compost food waste and develop good recycling habits. To help with these projects, Holly has organized "Green Teams" in the schools. Made up of teachers, staff, and students, the teams help to
Manager in Portland, Oregon organize initiatives and evaluate how their projects are going. The idea is to get everyone involved. Holly was originally drawn to the environmental programs at Northland because of an interest in alternative energy. But she graduated in 2005 with a double major in psychology and business. Why the change in direction? "You can know the technical side of the things," she says, "but really you need to change people's behavior. Understanding why people don't change and how to get them to change, that's the crucial part." Faculty at Northland gave Holly a broad understanding of human behavior and business. That combination made her uniquely qualified for her current position. Holly started her work with the district three years ago as an AmeriCorp member. But the district soon saw the value of her work and made the position permanent. As the district grows, Holly hopes to put more and more policies into place that will not only save the schools money but will also educate the children. "If you want to make change," says Holly, "starting with the kids is the solution."

Chief of Fire & Aviation Management at Yosemite "Northland really and truly changed my life," says Kelly Martin, chief of fire and aviation management in Yosemite National Park. Kelly credits the Northland faculty not only with introducing her to the Park Service, but also with giving her the communication skills she needs to be a successful leader. Even before she completed her degree in outdoor education from Northland, Kelly was starting her career with the National Park Service as a co-op student working
for the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. That experience paved the way for a post-collegiate position as an interpretive ranger in Grand Canyon National Park. There, monitoring small fires in remote areas of the park, she got her first taste of wildfire. Kelly was hooked. She left the National Park Service in 1990 to pursue a career in wildland firefighting with the Forest Service. A young woman in a heavily male-dominated field, Kelly set out to be the best at what she loved.
Between 1990 and 2006, she worked fire details in Idaho, California, Utah, and Nevada. Kelly rose through the ranks to become a fire management officer first in Moab, Utah, and then Carson City, Nevada. In 2006, she returned to the National Park Service as an expert in wildfire, and ready to serve as the head of fire management in one of America's premier national parks: Yosemite. Kelly oversees all of the fire related activities in the park. She supervises

National Park monitoring and suppression efforts, prescribed burns, and research. She also manages the helicopter and crew used during the peak of the season for both fire activities and search and rescue efforts, of which there are many. Unlike many seasonal wildfire positions, Kelly's work continues through the winter. The off-season is when plans are made, and a park like Yosemite requires a lot of planning. Part of her job is to make sure that fire can serve its purpose in the park without putting people at risk, and that requires educating the public about the need for fire in the ecosystem. "Ever so slightly, people are beginning to understand why we need fire" she says. "But not everyone is going to buy into that quite yet. There's still a ways to go." Many visitors to the park, and local residents, still view fire as a tragedy, not an integral part of a natural process.

Radio Program Director in Seattle, "The education was more than just the classrooms," says Jeff Hansen, program director at KUOW 94.9 FM, a public radio station in Seattle, Washington. "It was everything else combined." An Ashland native, Jeff originally planned to attend college in California, but after his father passed away unexpectedly in 1972, he wanted to stay closer to home. Northland was the clear choice. During his time on campus, Jeff was involved in the Ashland Folk Festival, an annual event still held on campus each spring. Northland also introduced him to poetry.
"I remember going to Professor Lee Merrill's poetry readings," he says. "I think I learned as much there as in my classes. And I learned a lot in my classes." Jeff graduated from Northland in 1976 with a degree in broadfield social science. He first took a job with the Wisconsin Employment Service, and, while working for the state, had his first opportunity to test the radio waves. A local public radio station sent out a request for volunteers to serve as talk show hosts. Jeff jumped at the opportunity and began hosting a morning news and information show. Eventually, he left his job with the state to work for the station full-time. Later, Jeff made the big switch from hosting and producing content to serving as a program director at a small public station in Maine. He then moved to bigger stations in Houston and Dallas before taking his current position in Seattle in 2001. Instead of being in the studio developing stories, Jeff makes the decisions about what programs to run at which times, what news to pursue in depth and what to skip. Basically, he decides what listeners hear.
See a video about Jeff's work at KUOW-FM 94.9 at northland.edu/outcomes
Though Jeff never went into teaching as he had initially intended, he says that Northland also prepared him to educate people in a much broader sense. "I just decided teaching wasn't what I wanted to do. But what I ended up doing is very much in the educational mode."
"I remember going to Professor Lee Merrill's poetry readings. I think I learned as much there as in my classes. And I learned a lot in my classes." -Jeff Hansen

Amritsar, July 15: Ten kg heroin worth Rs 10 crore in the international market, along with Rs five lakh fake currency and opium were seized from two different places including the Raja Sansi international airport in Punjab this morning.
According to police officals seven kg heroin was seized from a Canada bound passenger at the Raja Sansi airport here by a joint team of the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Customs and Punjab CID. The drug, wrapped in aluminium foil, was concealed in the baggage of one Gurinder Singh who was to board the Indian Delhi-Tronto flight from here.
Though the X-ray machine failed to detect the drug it was found on manual search. The DRI and the state CID had information about the contraband.
Police said that Gurinder Singh a resident of Khela village in Ludhiana district had been handed over the heroin by a smuggler in Jammu a couple of days back. It had been smuggled from Afghanistan through Pakistan and was to be sold in Canada. The Chandigarh police had early this month arrested a Canada based NRI woman with three kg heroin near Zirakpur.
The local police has arrested Gurinder Singh under the NDPS Act.
In the second incident the Border Security Force (BSF) recovered three kg heroin, 200 gms opium and Rs five lakh fake Indian currency from a well in Jugichakwala village in the Ferozpur sector this morning, BSF DIG R S Pawar said.
According to Mr Pawar the entire contraband had been wrapped in a plastic sheet and thrown into the well owned by one Jagdish Singh.
The BSF had information about the contraband which had been smuggled from Pakistan and dumped into the well.
Mr Pawar said that Jagdish Singh could not be arrested as he was not in the village when the raid was conducted. However, a case under the NDPS act had been registered against Jagdish, who still remanins at large.

I have invisalign and noticed my bite changing, my upper right canine incisor (?) tooth no longer meets my bottom teeth when I bite down. Also, when I am speaking sometimes my bottom teeth will hit the back of my front teeth which seems abnormal. I am not sure if this is something worth worrying about or if is it just me getting used to speaking without the retainers in place. Also, after wearing the retainers for 8 weeks ; my bottom tooth will shift within just 4 hours. Is that normal?
Is It Possible for Invisalign to Change the Bite?
Doctor Answers 1
Is It Possible for Invisalign to Change the Bite?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment, and as you are going through the process your bite will change. Some teeth will contact some will not, but nothing for you to worry about. It will feel that way until you are done completely with treatment. we have our patients wear their last set of aligners for two months with out any movement to give the chance to teeth to final settle in with each other and then they wear the retainers just at night forever. Just make sure after you are done with treatment and it has been at least 2 months that your bite is comfortable. Always talk to your dentist about any concerns

Altering a hair Style in Photoshop is fun, quick, and can make a huge Difference in a photo. Today we show you how to use the Liquify Tool to shape Hair and Curves Adjustment Layers to bring it to life. We even finish the episode off by using the Pen Tool to cut out the hair from the Background.
Get prepped to liquify by making a Stamp Visible Layer (Shift+Alt+Optn+E), making a selection around the area you would like to change and go to Filter – Liquify. Grab the Forward Warp Tool in the Liquify dialog and get ready to have some fun.
Using the Liquify Tool is straightforward, simply click on an area of an image and drag it where you want it. Depending on your Brush Size you will either effect a small area or a large area. We generally suggest choosing a larger Brush than you think you may need.
In this tutorial we show you how to change Brush Sizes as you edit and how to shape Hair into something epic.
In this episode we use Curves to Dodge and Burn, adding Depth to the image and giving the Hair a bit more Body.
Often times using a Curves Adjustment Layer to Change Color will result in hair not looking natural, that is because it Colors the Highlights, Shadows, and mid tones equally. In this case the Highlights of the Hair were turned red, but should remain looking more natural. To correct this Color shift we grab the Color from our subject's forehead and paint it over the highlights and use Blend If to make it blend in. It is a difficult concept to explain, but the video will make it clear.
If you thought this episode was great our "Pro Tutorials" are about 10 times better, more in-Depth detailed information, and are priced perfectly for the photographers and photoshoppers wanting to become the best. Of course we teach it the right way, you just have to get access to the lesson check out http://phlearn.com/product-category/pro-Photoshop-tutorials.

The Cheapskate's Guide to Children's Rooms
by Jo Stewart Wray

Creative Kids' Rooms on a Budget
Cheap Outdoor Play Areas for Kids
Decorating children's rooms will require more planning than any other room in your home. Your decorating plan will need to take into account the growth stages of your children in the future. There are four phases of childhood to consider: infancy (birth to two years), the preschool years (two to four), the elementary school years (four to twelve), and the teen years (thirteen to eighteen). Your child's stages may vary, but the idea is still the same.
Your children's room decoration will need to change as they age. You must think ahead and plan for modifications and alterations over the years to keep up with their progress through the stages of development. If your children are in the infancy or preschool stage, look into the research about how their environment affects their learning. You will want your children to be stimulated during their waking hours, and then calm and quiet for sleeping. The most important thing to remember is that decorating for children is never permanent. When you are decorating for people who will be changing drastically over the next few years, adaptability is what you want to consider most.
Infants' rooms must have a place to store clothes and, of course, a crib. Clothes can be stored in a simple set of drawers and a wardrobe. You will also want a place to store baby accessories. Organized storage can be accomplished with wooden boxes, covered baskets and crates, large cardboard containers, fruit or wicker basket, or pull-out wire covered kitchen shelves. Easy-to-clean flooring that is resilient will keep noise down. A lamp, in addition to overhead lighting or dimmer switches will allow you to turn down the lights for naptime. Since dimmer switches are built into the wall, you don't have to worry about wires or cords for later-stage toddlers to tamper with or trip on. The room will need at least two electrical outlets on each wall. You will want blinds to block or filter light during the daytime and at night. Some blinds come with total light-blocking material.
For toddlers and preschool children, safety is vital. They will need a low bed or one with a bed rail. Electrical outlets will need to be covered, and the windows need to be secure so children can't climb out and hurt themselves. It isn't a good idea to use long curtains in children's rooms. Try a double row of café curtains or blinds to be pulled down for privacy. Blinds are safe and easier to clean. Blackout blinds give you the opportunity to let children sleep later in the morning rather than waking up at first light. Vinyl-coated shades are very practical and can be wiped clean with a damp sponge. Mini blinds allow you to control the light coming into the room. Blinds can also be used instead of expensive doors on the front of closets. Be sure to keep the cords out of the reach of young children.
Large toy chests and baskets to hold children's toys and encourage neatness will be a big help. Baskets can also be used for carrying toys to other rooms in the house. Chairs for children should be strong and sturdy. Folding chairs are not a good idea for children's rooms because they can trap a child or mash small fingers. An area for creative playing will be needed. Since toddlers and preschool children don't concentrate for long on any one thing, they need a large number of toys.
As they become toddlers, young children spend a lot of time on the floor, crawling, sitting, and playing, so the floor covering could be changed to carpet or cushioned vinyl. Be sure to purchase something easy to keep clean.
This is the time to create a room full of fantasy and fun, but remember that furniture purchased now may carry over into the teenage years. You can add the fantasy element with color. You can change the environment of the room with paint, paper, or bed and window treatments. Large posters can be used for art and as wallpaper. Groups of dozens of contact-paper cutouts of shapes or animals can be applied to the wall to encourage counting. These can easily be applies and pulled off to be changed later on. Painting large graphics like clouds, cartoon characters, murals of fairy tales, circuses, or other characters is a colorful way to stimulate children. If you want to add fantasy to your kids' rooms, don't forget the ceiling. It can be painted with clouds, birds, or airplanes. The whole ceiling could sport a glued-on map or the night sky with stars and planets. Color can always brighten old furniture.
For their elementary school years, children need an older theme than they did in infancy and preschool days. At this stage, they may want to be involved in the decorating or redecorating of their bedrooms. Children who are aware of the cost of the decorating are more likely to take better care of the furnishings. Use their hobbies or collections as a place to start. The murals you painted for your preschoolers can now be redone for your elementary school children; and the painted furniture can be repainted to match the new theme. Stenciling is a great painting technique to use in children's rooms if you can't paint murals. Don't fret too much about the colors your children choose. They are the ones who have to live with the color. The low bed can still be used, or you might want to add bunk beds for friends who sleep over. A comforter and new curtains will be needed to match the new colors and theme. Duvets are great for children's beds. They are light enough to allow movement and warmth in the winter. They are easy for children to pull up to make their own beds. Kids also need room to study, perhaps a computer table or desk, and space to do projects for school. Bookshelves make a nice addition at this time; children will begin collecting books and other things now. Carpet will encourage them to sit on the floor and still be easy to clean.
Teenagers want privacy more often than anything else. They also want to arrange their rooms the way they would like. They will need good lighting for studying and computer work. Their bookshelves may need to be expanded to accommodate more books and CD's. Music is important to teenagers, and they will adjust their rooms to accommodate stereos if you do not. Teens also need more seating area for friends. If you purchased the correct furniture when your children were in preschool or elementary school, it might still be appropriate.
Like the other rooms of your home, children's rooms can be decorated in a specific style, with colors chosen to fit. The traditional look will use pine or painted furniture. Bold colors and white can be used in a modern room. If you use white in a younger child's room, it needs to be white gloss - which looks clean and can be kept clean simply by wiping it with a damp sponge or cloth. It's durable and makes a good background. You can also use white below the chair rail, papering the upper walls.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
My Wolf oven is off and the fan noise is still on. It has been off for several hours. The fans inside are not turning.
SubZero_Wolf Expert :
The fan that you hear is the cooling fans located in the back of the unit (way back). Do you feel any air moving from the bottom of the unit?
If you hear the noise and there is no air flow then one of the cooling fans has stalled. The unit should take about 45 mins - 1 hr to cool down normally after turning off. Also do you have the model number?
There is air flow below. The oven has been off for approx. 8 hours.
It is night time and I'm wondering if this is safe and whether I can deal with it in the morning.
Does the oven feel warm inside at all?
Then you have a failure of the sensing device that runs the cooling fan. Depending on the model Wolf uses two different methods for sensing. Do you have the model number?
It is safe; the fan can run for days with no problem.
If you have a safety concern you can turn off the breaker.
Can I use the oven?
Fuel ranges use the relay board to sense the temp and send power to the fans; you have a stuck relay on that board. If you turn off the power and close the door hard a few times you can unstick the relay sometimes. If that doesn't work then you will need the relay board. So long as that is the only stuck relay it will not affect the cooking performance of the machine.
How do I turn off the power?
If you let the fan run for to long (days), it will eventually fail. This would then allow the oven to over-heat, trip another sensor and shut the whole unit down.
For the power you will need to turn off at the breaker box. It would be a larger or double breaker.
It didn't work
What part?
I turned off the breaker, closed the door hard three times, turned the breaker back on and now the fan is back on again.
Then the relay is permantly stuck (happens sometimes). You will need to replace the relay board. How old is the unit?
Approx 6 years old
Shoot, the boards have a 5 year warranty. Just as a last check if you try and turn the oven on again what temp is displayed in the knob?
I will just call the appliance store to get it? Also, maybe it's only been 5 years; without a bill of sale, could I find out from Wolf?
Hate to say it but you will need that board.
I would call wolf and see if the dealer registered the unit. They also may cover it for you if it's 5 and some months. They can also tell you the closest authorized appliance shop in your area. Those are the only places that carry wolf parts.
Can I use the oven tomorrow?
It should heat fine.

We also headed out a couple of days later to Jockey Plaza
Wandering around town we've always felt safe even though sometimes there are police everywhere all kitted out in riot gear. Maybe we've become immune to seeing strange things but we don't seem to be worried by situations that others feel are unsafe. The massive China Town markets were a bargain and worth visiting. If you need it you can find it there, somewhere.
One highlight of Lima was we went to see a movie in English. We hadn't seen a movie since Oxford back in the UK. The movie was Los Infiltrados (we've found out its actually called The Departed in English) with Spanish subtitles. The theatre was about half full but it was just great to see a movie again, this time in English. Walking back to the hotel we walked down the main mall, to the calls of "Friend! Friend!", "Amigo!" and "Hey Gringo!"; the usual catch cries of touts trying to flog you something. It was funny but walking down the crowded mall at night we didn't feel that safe. Ironically turning down a dark dingy back street we felt a hell of a lot better, making our way back to the hotel.

You might recall Rison as that trash-talking wideout who got himself thrown in jail for failure to pay child support, and whose Atlanta-area mansion was burned down by his late crazy-ass girlfriend, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who told cops she was just trying to "barbecue" Andre's tennis shoes. He also threw a man through a window: Rison did it at a bar called Bo's and Mine, near the Kansas City Chiefs' training-camp facility, and upon arrest told the police his name was Brock Middlebrook. Rison has been involved in numerous incidents, including a $287,000 judgment against him by a jewelry store in Georgia to whom Rison had written bad checks in order to buy bling. Among his purchases: a $40,000 gold necklace sporting the word "Dre."
On the field, Rison was best known for trying — and failing — to get the media to give him the nickname "Spider-Man." He'd do Spider-Man-themed touchdown celebrations, and everyone would just ignore him. Hilarious stuff.
Now Rison has been arrested for public drunkenness after being "rambunctious" at the Crowne Point hotel at the San Antonio Riverwalk. According to police, Rison and a friend caused a scene in the lobby; the former Pro Bowler paid an $85 fine and was released.
Ten points for the public intoxication, plus another 10 for being Andre Rison.
When he's not googling "Charles in charge" and "forgot about Dre," Matt Taibbi writes for Rolling Stone. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ernie as Red Riding Hood
I have a magazine with a picture of Ernie as Red Riding hood.. It was a sketch arround 1980 with a big blue wolf in Bert and Ernies home. Anyone a idea when this was and if it has to be added here? (Greetings Paul 20:57, September 8, 2009 (UTC))
- It's the sketch that was later adapted as The Many Faces of Ernie. --Minor muppetz 02:20, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
- Plus the sketch itself is covered on the appropriate Ernie and Bert page and an image and linkback on Ernie's Alternate Identities. We should probably work a mention into this page at some point, certainly (as with similar appearances by Cookie Monster and so on). -- Andrew Leal (talk) 21:48, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

The camera app, like all of HTC's current phones, features a mother lode of settings, scene, and shooting modes, along with color effects. For example an HDR mode takes advantage of the BSI (backside-illuminated) sensor, while a Panorama mode stitches images together to create wide vistas. You also have the option to manually select the ISO from 100 up to 800.
Unfortunately, all this imaging gee-whizardry can only go so far. Still-life images I took indoors had accurate color but details were flat, even blocky. The same went for outdoor pictures, admittedly shot under cloudy winter skies.
Colors understandably were drab in this less-than-ideal lighting. Worse though was the lack of crispness in objects, whether that be the stone bricks of buildings or leaves of trees and bushes. Switching on the HDR mode did brighten things up but also gave everything a ghostly cast or created artifacts and double images of moving subjects.
Despite its sleek, small stature, the HTC One SV comes equipped with a respectably potent 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor backed up by 1GB of RAM. While that's not a cutting-edge quad-core chip, the One SV's components helped the phone drive its Android Ice Cream Sandwich software with agility. Navigating menus and opening applications looked silky-smooth to my eyes and I never once noticed any lags or stutters.
Benchmark tests confirmed my anecdotal experience. The HTC One SV notched a high Linpack (multithread) score of 282.5 MFLOPs, which is higher than the HTC One X managed (205.7 MFLOPs).
Cricket piggybacks on Sprint's CDMA network backbone for voice communication. Test calls I made in New York unfortunately were not impressive to say the least. Callers I dialed from landlines sounded clear, but not very loud, through the One SV's earpiece even at maximum volume. People on the other end though reported that my voice was flat, compressed, and robotic.
Call conditions worsened when I put on the speakerphone, with callers saying my voice was difficult to understand and painfully muffled. By contrast, I could hear people I spoke to just fine, especially when I flipped the phone over and exposed its speaker.HTC One SV call quality sample Listen now:
Cricket relies on Sprint's fledgling LTE network for 4G outside of its coverage area as well. That's a problem for me since Sprint hasn't rolled out its 4G LTE footprint to New York just yet. As a result I logged strictly 3G data speeds, with downloads barely cracking 0.4 Mbps and uploads averaging a higher 0.89 Mbps.
Drawing electrical power from an 1,800mAh removable battery, the One SV demonstrated a decent amount of stamina. The device persevered for 7 hours and 27 minutes in the CNET Labs video playback battery drain test.

There's no questioning the $349.99 HTC One SV's bold styling, thin and compact design, and premium construction. I also find the phone easy and enjoyable to use thanks to a snappy processor and HTC's software enhancements gingerly placed over Android ICS. The camera app and imaging system show lots of promise too, with the copious settings, extra features, and fast shot-to-shot times. That's why I found the phone's blocky image quality such a letdown. The same is true of the One SV's low-res display, which is not what I've come to expect from HTC. For example, both the Droid DNA and HTC One X+ sport excellent high-resolution screens.
For its current $279.99 price after discounts and rebates, the HTC One SV is a pretty good deal, especially considering you don't need to sign a binding service contract. If you have $100 extra, I'd say springing for the $379.99 (also after rebates) Samsung Galaxy S3 would make a lot of sense, since it offers a much better screen and camera. Still, if you can live with its quirks, the lovely HTC One SV is hard to pass up.

I like a bit of controversy every now and again so I'm going to make this review very simple. You should buy Unreal Tournament 3 now, play it, and then come back here to see why I was right telling you to do so. You won't regret it - trust me on this. Assuming you've followed those instructions, first: well done second: was I right or what?
You see, as I mentioned in my UT3 preview, I'm a bit of a fanatic for the franchise (some might say fanboy) and until I received my copy of this latest game through the post, UT2K4 still found itself subject to regular playtime even three years after release, although recently Team Fortress 2 has rather usurped it.
However I'm not here to talk about Valve's possible Game of the Year, but rather Epic Games' contender for that same title. So, let's start with what you should already know: Unreal Tournament 3 is built on the Unreal Engine 3 as used by last year's Xbox 360 hit, Gears of War and this year's PC hit Bioshock and the similarities are noticeable, and not just in terms of graphical style either.
Those familiar with the UT franchise might be shocked by one parallel between Gears and UT3: this instalment has a real, honest to goodness single player campaign with a plot. Okay so I'm pushing the definition somewhat because it's basically just a series of fights against bots interspersed with cut scenes, but nonetheless despite UT3 being primarily a multiplayer game, the story line is pretty compelling, if a little (read: a lot) similar to that of Gears.
While it sounds great in theory, and indeed the cut scenes are a joy to behold, I expect 90 per cent of people won't ever see the Campaign mode because, let's face it, you don't buy UT to play against bots. Ok, so I found myself mildly interested in our hero's plight to rid his planet of the invading Necris (yes, they're back) but not enough that I didn't give up half way through the story in order to get a quick online deathmatch fix - I think I may be an addict.
Anyhow, if you don't bother with the campaign in favour of eking out a bit more time on the multiplayer front then who can blame you? Not me, because multiplayer is exactly what makes Unreal Tournament so great and any excuse to play it should be a welcome one. Alas, some of us have to stop convincing our bosses that we really should be paid to play games and get on with the less adrenaline-inducing task of relaying that greatness to you, the reader, via that ever-so-useful medium we call the interweb.

Honda Fit Models and Fit History
Sold in Japan since 2001 as the Jazz, the subcompact Honda Fit arrived in the United States for the 2007 model year. On a wheelbase nearly 10 inches shorter than a Civic Sedan, the Honda Fits five-door hatchback provided was well-received by customers seeking a budget-friendly approach to the brand popular for reliability. The 2007 introduction of the subcompact car featured a high efficiency, fuel-sipping 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Generating 109 horsepower, the powerplant could be paired with either a five-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy for the 2007 Fit was rated at 33 miles per gallon city or 38 miles per gallon highway with a five-speed manual transmission. Anti-lock brakes, side airbags and power windows were some of the surprisingly generous level of standard equipment found on the 2007 Fit. In addition to the base 2007 Honda Fit, the subcompact car was also available in the perkier Fit Sport model. One notable addition to the Honda Fit Sport is the use of paddle shifters with the automatic gearbox. For 2009, the Fit received a complete remodel that lengthened the wheelbase and greater engine power. The 2009 Honda Fits engine output was increased to 117 horsepower while average fuel economy continued to be roughly 30 miles per gallon. The enlarged wheelbase of the Fit allowed for greater passenger room for up to five occupants. In the second-row, so-called Magic Seat can be configured to multiple arrangements for up to 57.3 cubic feet of cargo room. Undergoing only minor changes between 2009 and 2014, a new generation Honda Fit debuted for the 2015 model year. Completely restyled on a stronger but lighter structure, the 2015 Honda Fit is powered by a direct-injected four-cylinder combined with either a six-speed manual or a continuously variable transmission.

Sukna (Siliguri), Feb. 12: North Bengal development minister Gautam Deb today appealed for calm in the hills after his return from Kalimpong where he faced black flags but he also said that state ministers would keep visiting the region despite protests.
Deb told journalists in Sukna, about 10km from Siliguri, that he would continue visiting the hills.
"Some people have showed me black flags in Kalimpong and Chitray and have also shouted slogans while surrounding my car. Though they were not holding flags of any party, we know that Morcha is the only party that dominates the hills," he said.
However, he said: "I do not consider it to be a major incident and would like to reaffirm that even if we have to confront protests and showing of black flags in hills, we would not stay back in the plains. We have been visiting the hills on a regular basis and will keep on doing so, as and when required. I would like to appeal to all those who had resorted to such demonstrations to act sensibly, stay calm, maintain peace and work for development of the hills. The state government is keen on expediting the development process and we want the GTA Sabha representatives, who have been elected by people, to act responsibly and meet aspirations of the masses."
Deb had gone to the hills last Saturday, when the Morcha had called a 12-hour general strike to protest the formation of the Lepcha development board under the state government. The minister had sent feelers through the media to the Morcha for talks, but nothing had come of it.
Today, he said: "The GTA is a much higher body than the Lepcha development board and the two cannot be compared."
The minister, while speaking in Sukna, trained his guns at the Congress and held the party responsible for "inciting people in the hills".
Deb's ire may be directed at Darjeeling district Congress chief Shankar Malakar, who met Bimal Gurung yesterday and assured him of all support from the Centre if the Morcha had trouble in running the GTA.
"We feel the action of the Congress is inciting people in hills. The party, which is at the Centre, has endorsed the GTA agreement and act while on the other hand, it had sent representatives to an all-party meeting (called by the Morcha over the issue of Gorkhaland) in the hills," Deb said.

interior color
I am in the process of a building a custom Opel GT for street and show. I would like to put in a white interior to offset the shiftshade paint--I have had several people tell me not to put in a white dash because it would be too hard to drive because of sun glare. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!
I had a 67 rs camaro painted corvette yellow with the dashboard in yellow. I am not for sure about white but the yellow was very glaring on a sunny day---but with sunglasses on not that bad to drive.
I would not believe that because in the early 80's Cadillac had white dashes on Eldorado's for years.
I drive a work van and I allways throw my papers on the dash, usually the papers are white and on a sunny day I have to take all the papers off of the dash. Try putting white papers on the dash of your vehicle that you drive and see what happens
Everyone has an opinion on this . I helped with a boom box on wheels a while back , He had a white dash for show but he started driving it and it irritated him . We looked at options to relieve the glair with no luck . We finally did a black dash . As a rule black will work with any color , I have had luck with different shades of Gray as well . If you look at all the new cars on the market you will see a prevelant lean toward black , dark gray , dark blue , red ect , even tan dashes are rare because of the glare . GM actually did a study on distracting features , the light colored dashes was on the top of the list followed by the voice of a computer , and obnoctious buzzers . GM went with a darker tint on their glass and windshields that lean back hide glare more . Im honestly not shure what color your talking about but if its bright , the white will only make it worse . There is no law saying you cant do graphics on a dash , we did black , dark blue , dripping over the dash and onto the console like some one poured paint over the dash . it looked cool . :p

Feed the Need
Do you need to know the minute something happens in a court case? Are you tracking a case, waiting for an order or a hearing date? From a simple extension on filing documents to a verdict in a case, from a payment plan to a final report in a bankruptcy case—whenever there is any activity in a case, the Judiciary's PACER system can update you on your computer, or any other electronic device, with automatic case notification.
Look for the RSS icon on the PACER court links page (www.pacer.gov/psco/cgi-bin/links.pl) to identify the courts providing the notification. Click on the link and you will see a list of the court's cases, by case number and name, with a brief text description of the most recent activity and the time it occurred. The cases can be sorted by date and by title.
Subscribe to the RSS, or webfeed, and updated information from the court's feed is automatically downloaded to your electronic device. If users are logged-in to PACER, the feed can take them directly to the case record. Only when a logged-in user views a PACER document or a docket report is a fee incurred.
"Most users will want to winnow the case information that is sent," said Michel Ishakian, chief of the Administrative Office's Public Access and Records Management Division. "A feed reader or news aggregator—which are available free for downloading online—let users select individual cases from an RSS feed, so only that case information is delivered. Users also can change the frequency with which they receive updates, from every few minutes to daily. And it's all free."
And its not just for attorneys. "Reporters would definitely like to get up-dates on new filings without having to check PACER constantly," said Michael Rothfeld, a reporter and member of the Law Bureau at the Wall Street Journal. "It would be incredibly useful to have that case information delivered automatically."
Ishakian compares the automated case notification to the old "press box" in a court clerk's office or press room—but faster and more accessible. "You don't have to be added to a case as an interested party to know what cases were opened at the court that day, or, for example, to find out when a hearing is scheduled," said Ishakian.
Currently, 49 district courts and 85 bankruptcy courts have RSS feeds with automated case notification. Nearly all the courts of appeals have RSS feeds for opinions with a few including events and court announcements. Many of the courts of appeals indicate the availability of webfeeds on their home webpages.

The Electoral Commission says it has no record of a donation made to New Zealand First by businessman Sir Robert Jones.
Sir Robert says he made a $25,000 donation to the party via the Spencer Trust, before the 2005 election.
The Electoral Commission has checked its records and says there is no donation from either the trust or Sir Robert marked against the party or any of New Zealand First's candidates.
New Zealand First deputy leader Peter Brown denies any knowledge of the donation from Sir Robert.
"I don't know anything about the Spencer Trust or the money.
"New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is due to address the issue when he returns to the country tomorrow.
Sir Bob Jones today confirmed he made a number of donations.
He told Radio New Zealand he made a $25,000 donation to the party for the last election (2005).
He has now written to NZ First president Dail Jones to confirm where the money went.
Mr Peters, the leader of NZ First and Foreign Minister, is facing the possibility of an inquiry into the $100,000 he received from Monaco-based expatriate billionaire Owen Glenn.
Donations were also alleged to have been received from the Vela family's fishing and thoroughbred companies between 1999 and 2003 totalling $150,000 but made out for amounts under $10,000 to avoid declaration rules.
Mr Peters is Minister of Racing.
Sir Robert also said today that he had made large contributions to NZ First in the 1990s when the party was being established.
"I'm not worried about the $25,000, that's not a lot. I'm worried about the other $150,000 he took off me in the early days," he said.
"I've always played my role as a rich man in supporting the political parties and I've never asked for anything back.
"The only thing I've asked of politicians is, you know, I've had comment on policy matters.
"You could imagine asking Muldoon for something - he would have hit you," he said.
He did not know Mr Peters very well and the last time he saw him was two years ago in Auckland.
Sir Bob said he hated NZ First's attacks on Asians but the last time he saw Mr Peters "a lot of drinking went on" and Sir Bob begrudgingly gave $25,000.
Sir Bob said the cheque was written out by one of his staff members to Spencer Trust.
There had been payments of $50,000 "here or there" to other parties, Sir Bob said.
Wealthy people and corporations were "hit up" by all the political parties and also made unsolicited donations, he said.
"I've never been approached by the Greens and Maori Party, I must confess," Sir Bob said.
He did not like the thesis of the Maori Party and wouldn't have given them money but asked if he would give to the Greens he said: "I probably would, but I don't want to say that".
Prime Minister Helen Clark, who is being forced to defend Mr Peters against National Party attacks, said yesterday Mr Peters would not have to pay back the $100,000 from Mr Glenn.
Under Cabinet rules it is up to the prime minister whether ministers can keep gifts of more than $500.
Miss Clark said even if the money was declared as a gift, the Cabinet Office believed he could keep it because it had been used to finance the Tauranga electoral petition in 2006.
The money from Mr Glenn went into a fund run by lawyer Brian Henry, and Mr Peters said the lawyer did not tell him about it until last Friday night.
Mr Peters has told NZPA the fund, as it has often been referred to in Parliament, was a solicitors' account controlled by the Law Society.
"It is not a trust fund in that respect. It is purely used to pay legal costs," he said.

In a previous study, we have obtained an equation to predict the thermal conductivity of nanofluids containing nanoparticles with conductive interface. The model is maximal particle packing dependent. In this study, the maximal packing is obtained as a function of the particle size distribution, which is the Gamma distribution. The thermal conductivity enhancement depends on the averaged particle size. Discussion concerning the influence of the suspension pH on the particle packing is made. The proposed model is evaluated using number of sets from the published experimental data to the thermal conductivity enhancement for different nanofluids.

The Old Wives' Tale HTML version
IV.4. End Of Sophia
The kitchen steps were as steep, dark, and difficult as ever. Up those steps
Sophia Scales, nine years older than when she had failed to persuade
Constance to leave the Square, was carrying a large basket, weighted with all
the heaviness of Fossette. Sophia, despite her age, climbed the steps violently,
and burst with equal violence into the parlour, where she deposited the basket on
the floor near the empty fireplace. She was triumphant and breathless. She
looked at Constance, who had been standing near the door in the attitude of a
shocked listener.
"There!" said Sophia. "Did you hear how she talked?"
"Yes," said Constance. "What shall you do?"
"Well," said Sophia. "I had a very good mind to order her out of the house at
once. But then I thought I would take no notice. Her time will be up in three
weeks. It's best to be indifferent. If once they see they can upset you However, I
wasn't going to leave Fossette down there to her tender mercies a moment
longer. She's simply not looked after her at all."
Sophia went on her knees to the basket, and, pulling aside the dog's hair, round
about the head, examined the skin. Fossette was a sick dog and behaved like
one. Fossette, too, was nine years older, and her senility was offensive. She was
to no sense a pleasant object.
"See here," said Sophia.
Constance also knelt to the basket.
"And here," said Sophia. "And here."
The dog sighed, the insincere and pity-seeking sigh of a spoilt animal. Fossette
foolishly hoped by such appeals to be spared the annoying treatment prescribed
for her by the veterinary surgeon.
While the sisters were coddling her, and protecting her from her own paws, and
trying to persuade her that all was for the best, another aged dog wandered
vaguely into the room: Spot. Spot had very few teeth, and his legs were stiff. He
had only one vice, jealousy. Fearing that Fossette might be receiving the entire
attention of his mistresses, he had come to inquire into the situation. When he
found the justification of his gloomiest apprehensions, he nosed obstinately up to
Constance, and would not be put off. In vain Constance told him at length that he
was interfering with the treatment. In vain Sophia ordered him sharply to go
away. He would not listen to reason, being furious with jealousy. He got his foot
into the basket.
"Will you!" exclaimed Sophia angrily, and gave him a clout on his old head. He
barked snappishly, and retired to the kitchen again, disillusioned, tired of the
world, and nursing his terrific grievance. "I do declare," said Sophia, "that dog
gets worse and worse."

N.J. Assembly OKs bills to create health care exchanges, require notice of surveillance
A bill creating a state health insurance marketplace cleared its final legislative hurdle Thursday, passing the Assembly on a largely party-line vote.
The bill now heads to Gov. Christie, who vetoed similar legislation in May and has said he will wait until after the November election before deciding what to do next.
Under the legislation, the state would create its own online marketplace to help small businesses and some consumers buy health insurance coverage. The bill already passed the state Senate, where it received no Republican support.
Under President Obama's health care overhaul, New Jersey has until Nov. 16 to declare whether it will create that statewide marketplace or will join a federal program instead.
In a brief discussion before the Assembly's vote, Republicans agreed with Christie that the bill is premature, and they said it would raise health insurance costs for New Jerseyans.
"We are putting the cart before the horse here," Assemblywoman Alison Littell McHose, R-Morris, said.
The bill passed 44 to 33, with two legislators abstaining.
The Assembly also passed a bill prohibiting out-of-state law enforcement agencies from conducting surveillance in New Jersey without first alerting the state's attorney general. The bill comes in response to a secret New York Police Department program that monitored Muslims and mosques in New Jersey.
The surveillance bill garnered 76 votes, with three Republicans voting against it.

The Art of Peace
The MIC50.org conference was so packed with speakers that a lot of wonderful things just couldn't fit. We turned away dozens of great speakers and other opportunities. Our cup runneth over.
We also had an artist donate two beautiful original paintings for us to auction off as a set together, and we never managed to hold the auction. So, the auction will be happening online between now and October 3rd. Submit your bids, and the highest bid will be regularly posted on this page.
Click for larger image:
These are two original paintings created for the MIC50.org conference by Ted Millich. The two characters are Chinese, separately 'harmony' and 'balance,' together they mean 'peace.' Harmony, with the enclosed loop on the right, usually goes to the left or above the character that looks more like a big cross. The notations inside the characters also signify peace in a variety of ways.
The paintings are about 15" high.
Your donation will fund further work for peace, including the publication of the forthcoming MIC50.org book.

text: The pot holes in CT especially in my town get really bad this time of year because most local roads have tons of patch work. Many times city plows just rip the pavement up or rip the patches right out of the ground. The city refuses to repave because residents would complain about the noise, smell and inability to access their homes. I hope this year they do a better job on their patches so they don't fall apart by august like normal.

People's Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday said the just concluded Lok Sabha polls have accelerated the process of change in the state, and sought support from every region of Jammu and Kashmir to take the momentum to its logical conclusion.
"We seek support of every region and sub-region of Jammu and Kashmir to take the movement for change to its logical conclusion. Just concluded Lok Sabha polls have accelerated the process of change in the state," PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said while addressing meeting of the district units of Jammu rural and Samba here.
He asserted that the recently concluded elections mark a new begining for the state of J&K.
"Results of 2014 Lok Sabha polls have marked a new beginning for the state as these elections have boosted the winds for change in J&K," Mufti said.
"Residents of Jammu and Kashmir have accepted PDP as a viable and credible alternative of the present regime," he said.
Exhorting party cadre to seek mandate of the people to fulfill the unfinished agenda of sustainable peace and inclusive growth, Mufti reiterated commitment of PDP to pursue the policy of equitable and balanced development.
Stating that PDP has a comprehensive and visionary agenda for every region of the state, Mufti said being a strong, genuine and credible regional voice, his party has formulated a roadmap to address issues concerning every section of the society.
He assured that PDP would set up a system of transparency and accountability where every individual would get equal opportunity of growth and development.
Reiterating his resolve to facilitate dialogue between India and Pakistan to restore durable peace in this region, the PDP Patron said it was only during the regime of PDP that sincere steps were taken to improve relations between two neighbouring countries.
He, however, regretted that present regime headed by National Conference has failed to carry forward agenda of peace, which was started by the previous government.
