Harry - Trouble Round the BendMature
I woke up to see Flossie watching me with gentle eyes; I smiled at her and noticed that I was holding A in my arms as if she were my kid or something. I shuffled her slowly to one side and set her down, I was beginning to think that the other two were suspecting something and so I had to keep my wares about me. I sat next to Floss and put my arm around her – perhaps if I acted this way with both girls, they'd think it normal?
"What are you doing?" she asked shrugging my arm off, obviously that plan failed,
"You looked lonely," I whispered,
"I looked normal, it's you and A who are snuggling up to each other,"
"And Si and Lou by the look of it," I nodded my head towards them, Floss' barrier broke and she smiled resting her head on my shoulder.
"We really shouldn't be friends," she muttered,
"How come?"I asked surprised,
"Well the laws of social etiquette states that…well…that you shouldn't want to hang round with me,"
"I'm lost," I admitted,
"Someone like you shouldn't enjoy the company of someone like me,"
"Someone like me? What am I like?" I asked,
"You get the girls, you're like the hottest guy I know, you obey the rules of stereotypes and then there's me, we're incompatible,"
"Yet here we are," I said quietly, my voice so low that it vibrated,
"Here we are," Floss took my hand and began to draw pictures on my palm with her finger,
"I don't want to obey the rules of stereotypes," I muttered, "I want to be different, prove that I can be in a long term relationship,"
"Is that why you want to date A? To prove to us that you are looking for a long-term relationship,"
"No! I want…wait, what am I saying? I don't want to date A! I never said that…" I muttered going red, luckily it was Floss was too small to see my face unless she craned her neck.
"You can't fool everyone,"
"She's just a friend, like you are," I whispered letting my cheek rest on Floss' head. A stirred in her sleep, she stretched and then opened her eyes, she looked around the van and her eyes fell on us, she blinked and then sat up. Floss' eyes were closed and so she didn't notice this, I lifted my head up and smiled mischievously.
"I don't understand you," A hissed, Floss' eyes opened and she sat up. I got off the bench and went to the front to offer to drive, I wanted to avoid A's glares.
"Si," I shook him awake, "I'll take the wheel, you go and get comfy further back, why didn't you sleep in the beds?" I asked, Si just shrugged and climbed through the gap into the back of the van, Lou followed sleepily. I climbed into the driver's seat, checked the time 6am, revved the engine and set off. At 6:30 I peered into the rear-view mirror and noticed everyone had fallen asleep again – apart from A, our eyes met, she got up and marched to the front, she climbed through and took her seat next to me.
"If we were back home I'd ignore you and probably not talk to you for weeks, but as we're stuck in a van together which is the size of a small bathroom I can't ignore you, so here it goes…" she took a sharp breath in and looked into her lap, "For a second, just a second, I thought you liked me and so now I feel like a complete idiot for letting my guard down,"
"Aimee…" I began,
"Let me finish," she snapped quietly, "the thing is Harry, people like you never change, 'once a player, always a player' as the saying goes. I just wished I hadn't fallen into your trap, making me feel as though you actually cared about me. But do me a favor, don't bother turning on your charm for me or Flo, we're not interested…" before I could say another word A had disappeared back into the van, I sighed heavily and looked back into the mirror but she was lying facedown on the bed, so I decided I'd talk to her privately later. Was I really such a typecast guy? Could I never escape the stereotype of being a player? Perhaps she was right, 'once a player always a player', perhaps all this was, was a crush, something I'd get over as soon as a hotter girl walked passed. Thing was, I couldn't imagine anyone being hotter than A… I decided not to act on my feelings until I was sure they were stuck in cement, the last thing I wanted to do was hurt A.
I rounded a corner and slammed on the breaks, across the whole road was a blockade of police vehicles, trucks, cars and motorcycles. There was a thump in the back as someone fell out their bed, there were mumbles of annoyance and Si came to the front. "Dude…" he muttered wiping his eyes, he put on his glasses and his eyes widened. I had already got the van into reverse, the sirens were turned on and as I did a quick U-turn in the road I knew we couldn't outrun them. I quickly moved up the gears, taking glances every second into the back mirrors…they were catching up fast. I pushed the van to 80mph but I knew the police cars were able to do 120mph and the motorbikes almost 180mph. The engine roared as my foot pushed the gas pedal to the floor, Si continued to give me guidance and updates on the cars catching up.
"We're going to die!" A screamed as the van wobbled,
"Don't be so pessimistic!" I called back,
"Don't talk! Concentrate!" Flossie demanded,
"Use me as a hostage!" Lou burst,
"What?" Si asked,
"Use me, point a gun to my head, do whatever, we will never be able to outrun these guys," I took my foot off the accelerator, Lou was right, three cars had already overtaken us and they had pulled in front to slow us down. I carefully braked and stopped the car on the side of the road,
"Si, you point the gun at Lou, girls you stay here. I'll do the talking," I said getting out.

Realistically I see:
McIntyre vs. Shelley: in first half of 1st period. Get it out of the way and sit these guys for basically the rest of the game.
Rinaldo vs. Kennedy: both small and very emotional players. Kennedy has been known to drop the gloves in intense games like these, and Rinaldo seems like a good matchup.
Other than those 2 I'm not sure if we'll see anything more than roughing after whistles. I don't see Engelland dropping the gloves since with the injury to Niskanen we need our top 6 to stay out of the scrums. I also don't see Asham doing anything more than light roughing since he won't play enough to find a partner willing to throw down with.
One that probably won't happen but would be nice so that everyone would shutup would be Vitale vs. Schenn
That way Pens fans can feel good for Vitale sticking up for Crosby, and Flyers fans can feel good for Schenn sticking up for Briere (even though it was a clean hit :s)

Kashmir, the region over which India and Pakistan have come to blows on three occasions in the past 60 years, is to hold its first literary festival in an attempt to aid the area's cultural renaissance.
After a largely peaceful summer in an area frequently plagued with clashes between protesters and security forces, writers and arts lovers will descend upon Srinagar at the end of September for the Harud ("autumn") Literary Festival.
"The idea was brought to us by a group of local people involved with cultural events and education in Kashmir. The idea was to create a platform for the arts in Kashmir," said Sheuli Sethi, of Teamwork Productions, the Delhi-based company overseeing the festival.
The list of writers and artists taking place is due to be announced this week. Among those whose participation is confirmed is Rahul Pandita, a writer and journalist from a Kashmiri Hindu family who were among countless thousands forced from the valley in the early 1990s when a separatist insurgency – and a subsequent crackdown by security forces – gathered pace.
Others likely to be taking part include Basharat Peer, who wrote the memoir Curfewed Night, Mirza Wahid, who wrote The Collaborator, and another Kashmiri Hindu writer, Siddhartha Gigoo, whose work The Garden of Solitude was recently published. The Pakistani writer Fatima Bhutto is among those believed to have been invited. A report in The Times of India suggested the Booker prize-winning Salman Rushdie "might drop by", though the organisers say he has not been approached.
The violence in Kashmir, which turned the valley into one of the most heavily militarised places on the planet and has cost perhaps more than 70,000 lives, has also led to a flurry of new writing. Mr Pandita, whose book on India's Maoist insurgency, Hello, Bastar, was published earlier this year, is currently working on a memoir about his youth in Kashmir.
"I think the festival is a good thing for two reasons. Normalcy is slowly and gradually returning. When a society is ready to talk about literature it shows some normalcy has returned," he said. "Second, there are so many young people with stories to tell. It will be a catharsis for them to have a chance to tell their stories. I think it could be an important step."
The event is being organised by the people behind the widely celebrated literary festival in the Rajasthani city of Jaipur. They have stressed the involvement of local writers and artists who use local languages as well as English.
"The idea is to create a vibrant platform for writing from the [Kashmir] valley, Ladakh and Jammu. Poetry, prose and non-fiction will be the focus," said Ms Sethi. Asked about security, she said: "Safety is always a concern in any place in the world today. While we will be taking the usual precautions, we are convinced that events and platforms of this nature will create an atmosphere which will be harmonious and supportive."
The Kashmir valley has long inspired writers and poets. Victoria Schofield, a British writer and author of the history Kashmir in the Crossfire, is another of the names that has been associated with the forthcoming event. She said: "Kashmir has a very deep literary history; it is not a recent development."
She pointed to the Rajatarangini, or the saga of the kings of Kashmir, a work written in Sanskrit by a 12th-century Kashmiri. "This was translated by Nehru [India's first prime minister]," she said. "A festival will help get us away from talking about nothing but politics."Reuse content

Doe runs as fast as fast as her feet can carry her. The files are all stored in the usb chip clenched in her hand. She hear the slap of feet behind her.
The rain falls heavily and the guards following her are finding it hard to see. While see hears clearly as if it was a summers day. She yanks her phone out of her pocket and dials the number.
"Delphi, I need a collection stat" Doe shouts down the phone.
"Okay theirs an exit a mile away. Outside conren" Delphi says down the phone. Doe snaps the phone shut and aims in the direction of the shop, conren.
She turns left hearing a guard slip behind her. She smiles and turns right on to the amin street.
She spots the shop and runs over to the door. She looks behind her, he black shoulder length hair flicking water. Her grey eyes widen when she sees the guards step on to the street. She turns opening the door and steps through, excaping from the guards but not entering the shop.

PRESS DIGEST-Canada- June 11
June 11 (Reuters) - The following are the top stories from selected Canadian newspapers. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
* The Conservative government is putting public-service unions on notice that sick days will be targeted in the next round of collective bargaining. Treasury Board President Tony Clement said the government wants to move away from the current rules, where workers can use up to 15 paid sick days and five family days a year, in addition to vacation time. ()
* Hubert Lacroix, the president of Radio-Canada and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp, said the broadcaster shouldn't have changed its name to "Ici" so abruptly last week, dropping "Canada" from its public image and raising the ire of Canadians confused by the move away from a name that has served the broadcaster for decades. ()
* A 78-year-old woman dubbed the "Black Widow" for her criminal past with other men has admitted to slipping tranquilizers into her newlywed husband's coffee while they were on a honeymoon last year. ()

Now when the class is getting out of hand, the teacher can't just casually run her fingernails down the chalkboard (which I might add could do serious damage to your hearing). Hitachi's E-Blackboard (dubbed the PX-Duo-50…I don't know why) is a revolutionary tool which is planned to be integrated in elementary and junior schools in Japan.
The blackboard supports a 50-inch display, an embedded coordinate detection device in it (I assume for the writing part) and a digital TV tuner.
It's a great addition to the classroom that has more uses than simple dictation from the teacher!

BHA: Control of vital service for trafficked women handed to evangelical religious group
In a shock move, the government has awarded a contract to provide vital services for trafficked women to the Salvation Army, withdrawing funding from pioneering women's charity Eaves Housing, which had previously been commissioned to provide those services.
The British Humanist Association (BHA) has called the decision 'deeply concerning' and has called on the government to make assurances that religious groups working under contract will not be able to discriminate or proselytise in the provision of public services.
The Salvation Army, an evangelical organisation, has previously declared to parliament that it would 'impossible' for it to be 'religiously neutral' in the provision of public services. The Salvation Army's position statement on homosexuality also details homosexual behaviour as 'self evidently abnormal' and condemns gay people to a life of celibacy.
BHA Head of Public Affairs Naomi Phillips commented, 'It is deeply concerning that the government has considered it appropriate to stop contracting with an organisation specialist in working with victims of sexual trafficking, motivated solely with regard to the well-being of those women, and handing over control of those services to a church motivated by a clear mission to evangelise.
Religious leaders, parliamentarians, and education experts call for Government u-turn on faith school admission proposals
Surge of religious influence in our education system
Press Releases
'These services are provided for some of the most vulnerable women imaginable, who will now have little choice other than to have a service provider that is allowed by law to discriminate and proselytise in the way they provide that service, and which itself is vocal in its inability to remain religiously neutral, even when providing vital services. What is the government thinking?'
Ms Phillips continued, 'The BHA has been working for many years, including with our supporters in parliament and through the End Violence Against Women network, to highlight the very real problems of unquestioningly contracting with religious groups. We have urged successive governments to make changes to the law before services are contracted to religious organisations, at least to mitigate the damaging effects of religious discrimination in the provision of public service, especially when those services are for vulnerable and essentially captive groups. Unfortunately, so far those representations have fallen on deaf ears. If groups such as the Salvation Army are unable not to evangelise in the provision of public services, that should bar them from being awarded contracts.'
Following the government's response last week to parliamentary questions regarding equality protections in contracted public services and religious groups www.humanism.org.uk, the BHA has written again to the government to seek assurances that it will not permit religious discrimination or proselytising in the provision of public services by religious groups.
For further comment or information, contact Naomi Phillips at email@example.com or on 07540 257101.

When reached by phone Tuesday night, Grant, who starred for Fullerton (Calif.) College last season, wasn't backing down from his commitment to Ole Miss. He's too old for the drama that often comes with the recruiting process.
"I talked to my coach, and I told him I have no interest even taking a visit or anything," Grant said. "I told Coach (Terry) Price. I told Coach (Houston) Nutt. I'm committed to Ole Miss. That's where I'm coming. There's no second guess. There's no turning back.
"I feel like I'm old enough to where when I make a commitment, I'm going to stand by it."
Grant, by his own admittance, favored Ole Miss long before he committed Sunday. Price and Nutt were instrumental in his decision to choose the Rebels over Washington, his other finalist. Miami came in late.
"I told my position coach, Coach Price, 'I'm a man of my word.' If I say I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it," Grant said.
"You ain't got to worry about me going and looking at another school, cause my recruitment and all that is over. I'm a Rebel. I let (the Ole Miss coaching staff) know that."
Recruiting can be a change-by-the-day practice. New developments seem to pop up with prospective recruits constantly. Grant gets frustrated by it. He reads the stories of high-profile recruits committing and de-committing numerous times.
"It kind of does (get frustrating), because I know that other school wouldn't like one of their top recruits doing that to them," he said. "I look online at a lot of high school guys, a lot of junior college guys, who are committed to one school. But another school, a bigger school will come and talk to them, and they'll just de-commit out of nowhere. Without a hesitation, they'll just de-commit. I don't understand how guys do that.
"I'm not that type of guy."
All that is left for Grant, rated a three-star defensive tackle by Scout.com, is drying the ink on a national letter of intent. He intends to sign with Ole Miss Feb. 2 -- National Signing Day. Grant held offers from, among others, Ole Miss, Washington, Miami, Arizona and Baylor.
"I'm the type of guy, and Coach Price and Coach Nutt recognized this, I'm a guy with enthusiasm. That's one of the big reasons I chose to go to Mississippi," he said. "The whole staff, I loved their enthusiasm for football. I don't want to go to a place where the coaches are just going through the motions.
"The coaches made a statement that they need a guy with leadership -- a guy that's going to come in, work hard and is going to give 110 percent every play."
Arguably Ole Miss' top target at defensive tackle, Grant played in all 11 games for Fullerton last season.
He had 42 total tackles, including 23 solos, 17 tackles for loss and six sacks. He also blocked a kick. He fills an immediate need for the Rebels, who lost four defensive tackles to graduation.
"Nobody's perfect. There's always something in your game you need to tune up, or stuff you need to get better at," Grant said. "For me, that'll be a better knowledge of blocking schemes. When I was here at the junior college, I probably saw every blocking scheme -- double teams, triple teams, traps, everything teams threw at me.
"Usually it took me after the first quarter to really see what was going on. But I want to see that from the first play. I want to just get better with getting the blocking schemes when it happens, not waiting two or three series to see what they're doing."
Ole Miss, a year removed from back-to-back nine-win seasons, was a disappointing 4-8 last season. The Rebels were 1-7 in Southeastern Conference play, their only league win coming over Kentucky.
But to Grant, a May graduate, Ole Miss has the potential to rebound as quickly as next season. He's encouraged by the players returning, as well as the pieces being added in the signing class of 2011. He draws comparisons between Ole Miss and an SEC West foe, Auburn.
The Tigers added key pieces following an 8-5 season in 2009, leading to a national championship earlier this month.
"I believe we can turn it around as soon as this year," Grant said. "You look at Auburn. The year before, Auburn was nowhere even close to being in BCS contention. They get one or two players, and the whole program is changed around. Me coming in, I'm going to say the same things to the younger guys; just work hard and put in everything you got.
"There's no fun in losing. Why not give all you got in the weight room? Why not give all you got in the classroom, on the field? And when the winning comes, it'll just be easy. So when I come in, I'm going to tell guys to just work hard. Give it your all every play, every practice, every class. The simple things like that the younger guys in high school need to take advantage of, because they was probably the man at their school. Coming into a program and a tough conference in the SEC, you know, we gotta be one. It can't be no arguing or none of that. We've got to come in from day one ready to work. That's what it's going to take to get back to the standard of Ole Miss."

I was checking an online newspaper that I try to read on a somewhat consistent basis, when I saw a headline about Ash Wednesday. Already? Spring is right around the corner.
I don't have time right now to check my archives, but I think I've written before about my recent discovery of Lent and what it means to me. I've only observed it twice, but this morning as I noted that today begins the 2014 season of Lent, I knew immediately how I want to fast this year.
To keep myself accountable, I'm telling the world . . . I'm fasting from yelling. I've been so stressed out lately—mostly because of work, and believe you me, that's a huge post for another day, when the school year is over and I'm safe from the Vindictors—that I really want (need) to focus my efforts on remaining calm and composed toward my own children, my husband, and myself. I'm not going to go into excruciating detail, but suffice it to say that I have developed a horrible habit of yelling as my first response to any and every situation.
So, I don't know whether "yelling" is on the official list of items from which a Christian can choose to fast, but it's what I'm choosing.

A paradox of sorts is developing between the ways the federal government, as executed by the Obama administration, and the state governments, the governments closest to the people, view the lives of the unborn and those committed to defending those most defenseless in our society.
Over the past year, more and more states have enacted legislation aimed at protecting the unborn and women's health. In fact, over 22 states have enacted legislation imposing strict regulations on abortion clinics, and when we say strict, we mean that for the first time abortion clinics will have to meet the minimum competency standards for safety that other surgical medical facilities must operate under.
This week, Mississippi voters are on the verge of passing a "personhood" amendment to their state constitution, which would define a "person" as "every human being from the moment of fertilization, cloning, or the functional equivalent thereof." It would afford every "person" in Mississippi the basic protections of the law, such as the right to life.
Ohio Governor John Kasich just signed a new parental consent bill into law, strengthening the state's parental consent statute by requiring "clear and convincing evidence" to obtain a judicial override where a parent refuses to consent for an abortion.
Many other states are also considering pro-life legislation, such as fetal "heartbeat" legislation. Several other states have gone so far as to defund Planned Parenthood, and the ACLJ is involved in defending the right of these states to defund the abortion provider.
With these huge legislative strides at the state level and polling showing that more and more Americans consider themselves to be pro-life, it may be surprising that the federal government, led by the Obama administration, continues to push an anti-life agenda.
When the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill, the Protect Life Act, last month to strip abortion funding from ObamaCare, the Obama administrationimmediately threatened a veto.The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also issued strict new regulations aimed at religious organizations in an attempt to require them to provide health insurance for their employees that covers contraceptives and other drugs and services that may violate their sincerely held religious beliefs.
In addition, the Justice Department has recently chosen to prosecute an elderly pro-life advocate for standing on a sidewalk near an abortion clinic to share his pro-life message with those seeking an abortion, while giving a person who assaulted the man a cakewalk.
These are just a few of the outrageous examples of our federal government and the Obama administration pushing a radical anti-life agenda on the American people. As social conservatives, we must continue to take a stand against this radical agenda and voice our support for the sanctity of human life.
It is clear that the American people are on the side of life, but there is still much work to be done in order to protect the unborn.

Our big announcement on the Trump-Russia scandal.
After more than two decades in action, Steve Earle still finds new ways to tweak blues, folk, and country conventions. On his first outing in three years, the troubadour's drawling voice, a mix of toughness and good-ol'-boy affability, has a tenderness sometimes absent from his noisier work. Inspired by Earle's current home in Greenwich Village, Washington Square Serenade has something for fans of every stripe, celebrating Pete Seeger on the exuberant sing-along "Steve's Hammer (For Pete)" and using an old-fashioned hillbilly stomp to highlight a modern ill in "Oxycontin Blues." However, his love songs cut deepest: "Days Aren't Long Enough," a breathtaking duet with Allison Moorer (his wife), could become a new staple of enlightened wedding receptions.

Regarding my daughter Brandi...this is what it boils down to. Stress
and anxiety. She lost her job, can't find one right now, full time
student, medical bills piling up from the LAST time she was in the
hospital for her gallbladder being removed (3 months ago), roommate
moving out and taking a lot of her stuff and not paying rent. Doctors
said she was just having reactions to severe stress and anxiety
because there is nothing "physically" wrong with her. Yes, I'm
relieved that is the only thing wrong with her, BUT...the doctors
scared the CR*P out of me earlier this week saying she could have an
aneurism or tumor. Tons of testing later...she is basically fine.
Her pain is just stress related...including the numbness in her hands
and feet.
SO - thank you all for your prayers and concern. I was so amazed at
the response from everybody. This group is awesome.

Father's Day: iDad card
This cute iPad card is perfect for the dad who loves gadgets. Use his iPad as a template to make a groovy iDad card for Father's Day.
What you need:
- 1 x piece of black A4 craft paper
- 1 x piece of white A4 card
- 1 x print out of iPad icons from Google images
- craft knife
- glue
- a marker pen
Start by locating some iPad icons you can print out. Google, "iPad icons" and hit "images" then choose one that has about four or five rows along the page. Drag it to your desktop. Copy it and paste it into a Word document. Print it out.
Trace around the iPad onto the black piece of paper and the white piece of card.
Cut out the iPad icons you have printed out.
Stick them to the black sheet in rows. When the glue is dry, use a craft knife to cut around three sides of each icon so that they make a flap that you can open up.
Stick the black sheet to the white piece of card, making sure you only glue around the edges (so you don't glue the flaps shut accidentally.)
Write your message to Dad inside the flaps.

Day two: Full screen apps, Dashboard, Mail, and iCal. Love Mail's new search features. ICal, not so much.
I've been trying to get used to Mail and iCal as full screen apps. Mail seems to be really well-suited to running full screen. In fact, Mail's new search features, message threading, and multi-pane view rock. These are things that have been long overdue in Mail. Kinda wish Apple hadn't changed every icon/button though – most of them are intuitive, but that junk mail one is going to take some getting used to since it looks like something to rate messages with more than marking them as junk.
iCal is really cool as a full screen app. It reminds me of those giant paper desk calendars that all my teachers had in school. As much as I really want to like iCal though I don't. Apple completely removed the sidebar as an option. I have so many different calendars (articles for different publications, mid-long term projects, personal and family things), which was a great organizing feature in older versions of iCal for me. They're still there, but the first calendar in the list is now the default for any new event. I'm used to being able to select a calendar in the sidebar and have it be used for any new events while its selected – an option that was easy and efficient… and that's gone completely. Now adding events seems like there's too many extra steps of editing them once they're created. I'll keep trying it, but I may end up looking for an alternative.
Speaking of full screen apps, Mission Control is throwing me a bit. It certainly makes the virtual desktop options better than Spaces was in Leopard/Snow Leopard but it doesn't seem quite as intuitive as I'd like. I'm sure it'll get easier with use. There is a part of me that wishes I could just turn it off at times.
Two big tips for readers here though. First, if you want to view a different space in Mission Control, hold the option key when clicking it because simply clicking it will switch to it, and exit mission control. Second, if you get confused by spaces automatically rearranging on you, you can turn that feature off in System Preference – by default, Lion will rearrange them so the most used spaces are always to the left.
On the same subject, I'm not sure I like Dashboard as a space (thankfully, it's easy to restore traditional Dashboard functionality). First, the background is awful. More importantly, it seems to deprecate Dashboard as a feature. I guess I'm not surprised as Dashboard never took off as much as I think Apple intended, but it's a feature that I really like. It does make it easy to get quick status type things (weather most importantly) and access things like contact information without launching a full blown app.
Of course, Dashcode (the Dashboard widget development solution) has always seemed like a great stepping stone for web developers looking to get started with Xcode for Mac or iOS app development. The interface is similar enough to become acquainted with tools and concepts, but using languages a web developer is already fluent in.

Free Technical Support for Web Applications Shimla
- Location: Shimla, Shimla, Himchal pardesh, India
Web applications are becoming ever more widely seen in the market, as the rapid growth of the Software as a Service approach. The fact that such applications are available to the entire world 24x7 means that the demands on support can become onerous soon after the launch of a service. Providing round-the-clock support in the Western world is often difficult and expensive to achieve. The cost associated with that can mean that companies simply do not provide it condemning many if their customers to poor service with long response times. Posted ID- aubg429

If a taxing authority accuses you of under-reporting your taxes in any way, such as falsely reporting your earnings, inflating your expenses, or claiming undeserved deductions, then you may benefit from the services of a tax fraud attorney. A tax fraud attorney represents clients who the government claims have manipulated the system by paying too little tax, or no tax at all. You may be fined or even jailed for tax fraud; in fact, Richard Hatch, the first winner of the television show "Survivor," was recently jailed for not paying federal taxes on his $1 million winnings.

Nikon D3100 Review

Resolution Chart Comparison (JPEG and RAW)
Images on this page are of our standard resolution chart which provides for measurement of resolution up to 4000 LPH (Lines Per Picture Height). A value of 20 equates to 2000 lines per picture height. For each camera we use the relevant prime lens (the same one we use for all the other tests in a particular review). The chart is shot at a full range of apertures and the sharpest image selected. Studio light, cameras set to aperture priority (optimum aperture selected), image parameters default. Exposure compensation set to deliver approximately 80% luminance in the white areas.
What we want to show here is how well the camera is able to resolve the detail in our standard test chart compared to the theoretical maximum resolution of the sensor, which for the charts we shoot is easy to work out - it's simply the number of vertical pixels (the chart shows the number of single lines per picture height, the theoretical limit is 1 line per pixel). Beyond this limit (which when talking about line pairs is usually referred to as the Nyquist frequency) the sensor cannot faithfully record image detail and aliasing occurs.
This limit is rarely attained, because the majority of sensors are fitted with anti-aliasing filters. Anti-aliasing filters are designed to reduce unpleasant moiré effects, but in doing so, they also reduce resolution (the relative strength and quality of these filters varies from camera to camera). In theory though, a sensor without an AA filter, when coupled with a 'perfect' lens, will deliver resolution equal to its Nyquist limit. Therefore, even though it may be effectively unattainable with normal equipment in normal shooting situations, an understanding of a sensor's theoretical limit provides a useful benchmark for best possible performance. Nyquist is indicated in these crops with a red line.
On this page we're looking at both JPEG and Raw resolution. For a (more) level playing field we convert the latter using Adobe Camera Raw. Because Adobe Camera Raw applies different levels of sharpening to different cameras (this confirmed) we use the following workflow for these conversions:
- Load RAW file into Adobe Camera RAW (Auto mode disabled)
- Set Sharpness to 0 (all other settings default)
- Open file to Photoshop
- Apply a Unsharp mask tuned to the camera, usually 100%, Radius 0.6, Threshold 0
- Save as a TIFF (for cropping) and as a JPEG quality 11 for download
|JPEG (4608 x 3072) 3.7MB
|RAW (4608 x 3072) 3.7MB
Vertical resolution
Horizontal resolution
In stereotypical Nikon fashion, the D3100's conservatively-sharpened JPEGs show slightly lower resolution than can be extracted from RAW. They struggle to render the nine lines of our resolution chart in well-separated fashion much beyond 2200 LPH, as opposed to the 2400 LPH or better visible in the raw conversion. The raw conversion also shows distinct line patterns beyond Nyquist; this is false detail, which can often enhance the impression of resolution in 'real' images. The penalty for this, though, is a bit of additional colour moire.
Overall what this means is that the D3100 lags slightly behind other recent 14Mp APS-C cameras (such as the Sony NEX-5) in terms of JPEG resolution, but if you switch to raw it can certainly hold its own.

Discuss in the forums
This is probably my favorite dSLR so far.... It wasn't my first, hell it wasn't mine. I got this for my girlfriend as I shot a D5100 which I then upgraded a year or so in for the D7100. I let her take the D51 at that point and since I shot almost exclusively primes I started putting the D31 in my bag so I could carry another focal length and in short order I found myself using this camera 80% of time. I used my d7 for events, landscapes and downtown when I wanted street shots with autofocus (and also whenever I wanted to trot out my 'better' lenses).
I still think fondly of this camera and as soon as I find a good satchel for my girl it'll be her second cam and I wager the love affair will start anew.
I bought this camera for my wife when it first hit shelves 5 years ago. We got the package deal that came with two great lenses, plus we bought a third. It's a fantastic DSLR camera with pro features, but simple enough for beginners to use out of the box. The only feature that's missing, and certainly not a deal breaker is the lack of an external microphone input. This is something photographers won't miss at all, yet a feature that filmakers can easily get around with some ingenuity. That leads into my new love of this little gem. As a budding filmaker, I was watching tutorials and reading articles on the subject and found out that most independent filmakers and some pros swear by DSLR cameras for their tool of choice for capture. I remembered my wife's Nikon 3100 and immediately repurposed it for my new endeavor. With a cage, shotgun mic, 7" live feed monitor and matte shade on the way--our Nikon 3100 will get even more use!
I'm using Nikkon D3100...can anyone suggest which other lens should fit into it for zoom as well as for wide angle pictures. please tell me the specifications. the current lens 18/55mm...
salam hangat
saya memiliki camera nikon D3100 dan saya memiliki masalah pada camera saya,permasalahannya adalah ketika saya ingin melakukan pemotretan dengan modul manual atau auto lampu flash tidak menyala dan timbul tulisan (r24) pada Viewfinder Eyepiece namun apabila lampu flash tidak di aktifkan camera dapat melakukan proses pemotretan
terima kasih
i am a novice and use my D3100 in auto mode. do you know if i can set a slower shutter speed for effects and still stay in auto mode? i want to try special effects with motion blur. any help would be appreciated.
thank you

Hi Alice,
The short answer is no. One of the things you'll learn as you get acquainted with digital photography is that Auto Mode is a neat feature for quick shots that have predetermined settings calculated and set for you. I'm not sure if you're shooting video or stills, but the same principles apply to both.
Manual settings are where you can get down into the great features of DSLR cameras for what you are looking at doing.
You must learn these features to properly use your camera.
There are many great online resources that will walk you through it.
nikon d3100 is an intermediate dslr? right? i saw a post about guides for buying a dslr on www.know4u.com
actually they says that there is too much to investigate before buying one... is that true always..? the link is http://know4u.com/dslr%20photography/How%20to%20Choose%20a%20DSLR%20Camera/How%20to%20Choose%20a%20DSLR%20Camera.html
Looking at the comparison, it appears to my novice mind that the d3100 has in most areas slightly better specs than the d5000. Since I am looking at both of these cameras, would appreciate comments. The 3100 is on sale at the local camera shop; the 5000 is available on Craiglist at a considerably lower price, but is of course used.
Also; packed away I have two nikon entry level cameras from the early 1980's with quite a few E series lenses. The E series lens was standard on the two cameras. Will these work on the 3100 and 5000, and if so, are there problems in compatibility such as auto-focus, etc.

NC Bar Association presents 2008 pro bono awards
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
The North Carolina Bar Association, in conjunction with the NCBA Foundation's Public Service Advisory Committee, presented the 2008 Pro Bono Service Awards during the 110th NCBA Annual Meeting in Atlantic Beach.
Christopher Graebe of Womble, Carlyle, Sandridge & Rice in Raleigh is the 2008 recipient of the William L. Thorp Award, presented annually since 1984 by the NCBA. The award recognizes the Pro Bono Attorney of the Year and was named in memory of Bill Thorp, a founder of Legal Services of North Carolina, in 2002. Over the past five years, Graebe has devoted much of his volunteer legal services securing justice on behalf of low-income families through the handling of pro bono cases, providing case strategy and co-counseling cases with legal aid attorneys, and recruiting and training private attorneys to handle pro bono matters. The North Carolina Justice Center reports that Graebe has devoted more than 1,000 pro bono hours over the past few years. Although his private practice has focused on business litigation, he has become known as an expert in the intricacies of Section 8 housing law. Graebe's handling of the many, many pro bono cases over the years has had a profound effect on the lives of those he helped. His efforts on behalf of Section 8 tenants in the last three years, including several state court hearings and two federal trials, have resulted in the preservation of stable housing for several clients and the adoption of needed improvements to the local housing authority's administrative policies and procedures. In a message to bar members concerning pro bono service, Graebe said that "we have a unique license to provide legal services, and those services are often the difference between folks having a place to live (or not), becoming a victim of domestic violence (or not), or even losing one's life to the death penalty (or not). By committing our lives and gifts and talents to serving people who can't afford to buy our services, we are making a choice about how we will live our lives." Graebe received a bachelor of arts degree from Wabash College, his master of divinity from Duke Divinity School, and his juris doctor from the University of North Carolina School of Law. He practiced law for 18 years with Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice before recently starting his own law firm, Graebe Hanna & Welborn, PLLC in Raleigh.
The Larger Law Firm Pro Bono Award recipient is Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard, LLP. Brooks Pierce was recognized for its firm-wide commitment to pro bono service as well as its deep commitment to NC LEAP (North Carolina Lawyers for Entrepreneurs Assistance Program). Brooks Pierce is commended for creating a firm-wide pro bono culture through its pro bono committee, pro bono policy and pro bono commitment to agencies and organizations needing legal assistance. Most recently, Brooks Pierce has provided significant leadership to propel NC LEAP (North Carolina for Entrepreneurs Assistance Program) of the NCBAF to the program that it is today. "Pro bono service is not just a professional obligation," according to Brooks Pierce policy. "It strengthens our communities, and it enhances the lives and legal practices of those who serve . . . We expect our lawyers to represent our pro bono clients with the same degree of excellence, integrity, skill, and motivation as with firm's higher-paying clients." NC LEAP director Milan Pham estimates that Brooks Pierce attorneys have spent upwards of 1,000 hours over the past two years for NC LEAP - which does not include time spent on NC LEAP assigned clients. Mark Davidson and Patrick Johnson are two examples of NC LEAP leadership within the firm. Davidson chaired the NCBA's Business Law Section when NC LEAP was formed. Patrick Johnson has served as the Chair of NC LEAP's steering committee; coordinating monthly steering committee meetings, overseeing all subcommittee duties including fundraising, hiring of staff and developing organizational infrastructure. In addition to NC LEAP, Brooks Pierce attorneys provide pro bono legal services to other agencies and organizations including Legal Aid of North Carolina, the Women's Resource Center of Greensboro. The firm's commitment to pro bono has continued to grow along with its practice creating a structure that has led to significant business law pro bono contributions throughout the state.
The Chief Justice Award was presented to the NCBA's Young Lawyers Division in recognition of its outstanding service and for the project "Wills for Heroes." Chair Kim Sieredzki and incoming Secretary Kirk Bradley, who was serving as ABA District 9 representative when this endeavor transpired, accepted the award. The Young Lawyers Division, better known as the YLD, has long been known as the "service arm" of the NCBA. This active group of young lawyers regularly engages in helpful pro bono projects. However, this project was different. They are being recognized for their Wills for Heroes project which provided wills for more than 200 first responders - firefighters, police officers and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) on Saturday, Oct. 6, 2007.
Wills for Heroes was adopted as the American Bar Association's Young Lawyers Division national public service project. The NCBA's YLD decided to host this event during the ABA YLD fall conference which was held in Charlotte. Through a series of coordinated efforts, the YLD was able to secure many lawyer volunteers, assistance from Lexis/Nexis and assistance from a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Policy Academy staff person who coordinated the appointments. YLD members anticipated executing 60 wills. When they learned that there were more than 120 appointments they were worried whether they would be able handle that number especially since the largest Wills for Heroes event in another state netted 80 wills. Through the hard work and dedication of the many North Carolina attorney volunteers, law students and notaries, they were able to execute more than 200 wills.
The 2008 recipient of the Deborah Greenblatt Outstanding Legal Services Attorney Award is Evan Lewis, senior managing attorney for Legal Aid of North Carolina's Greenville office. Lewis also provides exemplary volunteer leadership for numerous NCBA endeavors. For nearly 25 years, Evan Lewis has worked actively to ensure that the poor and disenfranchised have access to a fair share of legal rights and remedies, inspiring colleagues along the way. Lewis, who is the senior managing attorney for the Greenville office of Legal Aid of North Carolina (LANC), has litigated cases in both state and federal courts. His dedication and advocacy on behalf of his clients has had considerable human impact. He is a dogged, creative attorney who has effectively handled cases in virtually all areas of legal services practice. In a joint letter, Lewis' staff recognizes that he makes time to discuss legal questions, effective case solutions, bench-bar relations or other pressing work matters regardless of his schedule. They also believe that he fosters a collaborative and congenial work environment that helps make them better lawyers, paralegals and support staff. Not only has he assisted legal services staff members in North Carolina, he has reached legal services advocates nationally through the National Housing Law Project. Lewis helped edit the 2004 update of HUD Housing Programs: Tenants' Rights, 3d Edition, which is known throughout the national legal services community as the "green book." For many years, Lewis has championed community economic development as a way to build the economy and provide opportunities in communities that lack resources to be economically sufficient. He has worked very closely with several eastern North Carolina groups to help them provide housing and education and job opportunities in these rural communities. Lewis serves on the NC LEAP (North Carolina Lawyers for Entrepreneurs Assistance Program), a program of the NCBA Foundation. Lewis received his bachelor of arts degree from the College of William and Mary and his juris doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law.
The Immigration Law Association of the University of North Carolina School of Law received the Law Students Pro Bono Project Award for its outstanding work coordinating pro bono projects to raise awareness of immigration-related issues. As the result of a number of workplace and home raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE), a group of community leaders, attorneys, religious leaders and law students formed a coalition to respond. The Immigration Law Association (ILA), as a law student group, became involved. They developed educational programming around a number of issues-explaining the rights of undocumented immigrants, asserting rights during a workplace raid and protecting their ability to apply for a visa or citizenship. With the help of five immigration attorneys, twenty students presented 15 sessions between October 2007 and February 2008, reaching hundreds of immigrants in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Goldsboro. These skit-based sessions included skits followed by discussion of the skits and a skit re-do showing the participants how to apply what they have learned. Demand for these presentations began to exceed ILA's capacity, so it began working with students at the North Carolina Central University School of Law and UNC's Latin American Studies Program to respond to this demand.
The Younger Lawyer Pro Bono Service Award, established by the NCBA Young Lawyers Division in 2001 to promote pro bono activities among young or newly practicing attorneys, was presented to Georgiana L. "Georgi" Yonuschot of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, in Winston-Salem. During the past two years, Georgi Yonuschot has provided, on average, 450 hours per year to pro bono service while maintaining her demanding commercial practice at Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC. Yonuschot has provided her services to a number of organizations including Guardian ad Litem, Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Law Project of the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless in Salazar. Helping children is one area of interest for Yonuschot. She has spent a significant number of hours defending the best interests of children against the appeals of their abusive or neglectful parents whose parental rights had been terminated at the District Court level. Additionally, she has worked with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Having spent more than 100 hours to serving her client in a case related to an international child custody claim, a federal judge granted her client's custody petition to return the child to his custody. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Yonuschot also spent several weeks in New Orleans worked with Southeast Louisiana Legal Services, ultimately helping low-wealth homeowners secure a range of benefits. These homeowners, many of whom lived in their family homes for multiple generations, needed clear title to their homes in order to qualify for benefits such as FEMA, homeowners insurance and The Road Home. Yonuschot assisted by interviewing and researching claims for her clients in New Orleans and then ultimately completing and filing the legal work ("successions") necessary to give them clear title once she returned to North Carolina. In all, she spent more than 400 hours and completed more than 100 successions. Yonuschot received both her bachelor of science degree in Public Health, Health Policy and Administration and her master of social work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She received her juris doctor from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
This is for a family law case ie: Child Support
The simple answer is - yes. The slightly longer answer is that you and your attorney should have signed an engagement letter (a/k/a retainer agreement) which sets forth how you will be billed, and how much you are to pay, as well as you and your lawyers' other rights and responsibilities. Please contact your attorney to discuss this matter. You should not be charged to talking about billing.Ask a similar question
Lawyers typically bill for the time they spend doing things related to the case, and they usually say this, plain as day, in the fee agreement. Driving to court is doing something related to the case. If the lawyer weren't appearing in court on your behalf, he wouldn't have driven there. So he charges you for his time, and it is perfectly proper for him to do so.
Not legal advice as I don't practice law in Illinois. It's just my two cents on the facts you describe in light of general principles of law. If you need legal advice, please consult a lawyer who holds Illinois licensure. That's not me.Ask a similar question
In addition to the helpful answer offered by your first-responder, Ms. Goldstein, let me ask why you think an attorney shouldn't charge for travel time? For an attorney, time and expertise is the stock in trade. If your attorney has agreed to work on an hourly basis for a rate that takes expertise into account, why should the attorney not charge to travel to a distant court to appear on your behalf? Unless the attorney has a driver and can perform gainful work while riding to your hearing, that attorney is in your service while in transit.
Best wishes for an acceptable outcome, and please remember to designate a best answer.

Are there any makeup must haves that you can't live without? I'm always on the look out for new products and I'd really love for you to suggest some for me!

I loooooove Too Faced Primed & Poreless oil-free primer. It is amazing for smoothing the complexion and keeping makeup in place. My newest discovery is Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, which is an eyeshadow primer that you can wear on its own or with shadow on top. I have it in the colour 'Sin,' a soft, shimmery champagne colour. My other must-have is setting spray, which holds everything together (especially helpful on humid days or evenings when you're going out dancing or some other hot activity!). I'm partial to Urban Decay 'Chill' because it has a bit of a cooling effect when you apply it.

I really like Buxom's Show Some Skin weightless foundation. It goes on really smooth and the coverage is buildable. It has a SPF30 which is really nice for summer. I find it dries to a powder finish which is nice to pass on the extra powdering!
I also love the new nude lipstick line by L'Oreal's Privee collection. I have "Eva", "JLo" and "Freida". Very comfortable and creamy. The colours suit my light/med skin tone. You can easily change the colour a bit by switching up your liner.

Professional fundraisers use their powers of persuasion to get donors - including the public, business, grant-making trusts and foundations, and lottery funds – to part with their cash. But skills shortages combined with spending cuts and a drop-off in donations are making this task increasingly difficult for the thousands of people whose job it is to bring in the money for organisations such as charities, voluntary and community groups, museums and galleries, sports clubs and universities.
We examine the challenges facing today's fundraisers and explores the skills needed to address them. With a Guardian/Institute of Fundraising survey highlighting skills shortages in middle and senior management, we look at what fundraising organisations are doing to attract new blood. What can professionals from the public and private sectors bring to fundraising? Where can these so called "sector switchers" go for advice and training?
Our survey found that what fundraisers love most about their job is the challenge and the diversity it offers. Meanwhile, recruiters rate passion and commitment higher than a degree or fundraising qualifications. We ask fundraisers about their routes into the job and why they do it.
For years, charity shops have helped students to update their wardrobes and music lovers to find rare vinyl. But charities are bringing these high-street fixtures into the 21st century to attract new customers. We discover how a more commercial approach is reaping rewards for charities such as Save the Children and Tenovus.
Finally, we consider how social media such as Facebook and Twitter can help fundraisers reach new supporters. Can a tweet have the same effect as a telephone call?
