Do you ever watch an item on auction sites, such as WorldStart or Ebay, and wait until it gets down to only minutes left to decide if you want to bid or not? Or how about any Web site in which you tend to hit the Refresh button every couple of minutes so you can see the updated page? After awhile, on auction sites especially, when it gets down to the bid time, it doesn't always refresh all the information you need. Fortunately, Firefox has some great add ons that can help you keep pages fresh and up to date.
One add on, Tab Mix Plus (TMP), is one that enhances the tabbed browsing feature of Firefox. It allows you to undo tabs you may have accidentally closed and it also has a session manager, which can restore Firefox back to a previous state if it ever closes unexpectedly. It also has features I couldn't live without, namely auto-reload.
Once you've download TMP, make your way to the Options menu, click on the Menu icon at the top and then click on the Main Context Menu tab, as shown below. These options can all be added or removed from the context menu, which comes up when you right click anywhere in the white space of the page. Do not right click over an image, as a different menu will pop up. Make sure the option of "Reload Every" is checked and then click OK.
You will now be able to right click and set the auto-reload rate. Next, click anywhere in the white space of the page and the menu shown below should appear. Notice that now, you should have "Reload Every" as a pull out menu. Move your mouse over it and the menu will be shown. There are some predefined amounts of time already set, which makes it easy to use. First, you'll want to make sure that Enable is checked (a). Then you can choose the amount of time between reloads. If you want all the tabs in Firefox to reload at that rate, simply click on Enable All Tabs (c). That way, you don't have to set every tab's rate.
If you would like to set your own reload rate, simply click on Custom (b) and the menu shown below will appear. This helps if you want to have some tabs reloading an odd number of seconds, as all the presets are multiples of five.
TMP contains many different features that, when played with, allow you to customize Firefox to your liking. If you are only looking for a certain feature, you can always search the Mozilla Firefox add on site for what you want. Have fun!

O'Reilly Didn't Want To Hear His Pro-Immigration Guests -- So He Cut Their Mics
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly cut the microphones of two pro-immigration guests because he disagreed with their proposed border enforcement solutions.
On the August 27 edition of his show, O'Reilly invited immigration reform advocates Ben Johnson of the American Immigration Council and Enrique Morones, founder of Border Angels, to talk about solutions to undocumented immigration into the U.S. During the segment, O'Reilly asked both guests what they would do "to stop people from coming in here illegally," only to cut their microphones off when they tried to explain their solutions, which included improvements in border enforcement:
Later in the show, O'Reilly explained to Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham that he "cut them off" because they weren't answering his questions:
O'REILLY: I had to cut them off and be rude because they weren't answering the questions. It was obvious they weren't answering them and I can't waste the viewers' time.
O'Reilly's solutions for lessening immigration from Mexico have been criticized as "absurd" and "useless." Recently O'Reilly has advocated militarizing the southern border, flying surveillance flights in Mexican airspace "to pinpoint illegal immigration camps," and building a Berlin Wall-style border fence.

~One of the daily Diary Pick~
Honestly me & mom have no idea what to say on this…..chosen as one of the daily diary pick?
There're tons of diary entries everyday, I wonder how people write on behalf of their pups?
My mom so far is not a regular writer but few of her entries are really touchy…she is the one who has been expressing my thoughts to everyone out here…
I wonder how she does it? How in the world she can understand me?
I don't talk nor any pups here can talk…..
And there are few signs of ours & only few people understands them what exactly we're saying & all the time its not even accurate.
Then isn't it amazing that someone is writing for your? Explaining what happened, how was your day and saying how you felt about it?
Oh! Dear mom, oh dear dad…. Do you really understand my feelings?
Just imagine if we could talk to you, how wonderful it would be if we pups can say what we actually feel for
Could you ever figure it out how difficult it is for us to understand what human are saying?
All the time they teach us, what to do & what not to do
I guess they expect a lot from us…when we pee on the wrong place, we get scold but ever any people tried to realized how hard it is for us to understand what our human are saying & expecting?
Finally we do what they say…they give us treat else they give us big "NO" scream….
Ever tried to figure out we're confused sometime, we're sad sometime ??
Oh yeah we do too many mistakes & makes you mad on us, sometime you're angry then sometime you feel silly laughing on us but I bet we hardly be mad at you, even at your screaming loud voice -- in a moment we come to be close with you….see this is our generous heart
Forget about those biting dogs, aggressive behavior, everyone knows it's in the owner hand how the dog will become.
There're only few of us who are loved as real family….they're really lucky I must say…those human who loves their pups & pets as their family are the true human. My hugs & kisses to them.
and those humans who has been writing or writes a diary for their pups only signifies that pup means a lot to them, they're the true family who loves their pups as their kid…who so far tried to understand what their pup might have thought & expressed in words….
Well that doesn't mean human who doesn't writes means they don't love their pups….you see some people don't express with words, then some doesn't like writing…
it only means….those who writes are emotionally touch with their pups
Thank you to every pup owner who writes for them & thank you mom for trying to understand me & expressing it here :)
This shall be my first celebration in the family. Mom told me we don't bring christmas tree in our house but we do celebrate it well.
Dad is planning to go out for dinner, yeah they're taking me as well or they might do some planning at home. Some kind of party or gathering of relatives.
Mom told we can wish anything in christmas & the dear Santa will fulfill our wish, specially he will bring us gifts?
Wow!! what will he give me then? Mom told, he is a fat white man with red clothes on....hummm.....will i recognize him? oh Santa i've started imagine about you, i wish you bring me lots of toys...bt wait i want a shoe
Yeah a shoe...i want a shiny shoe...plz Santa
I'm a good gal...you can ask mommy :D
It is important for every owner to take responsibility of what he/she have. Either it be cat, dog, horse or anything, one have to be responsible towards it.
When you adopt us or buy us, we don't panic on leaving our mother, instead we instantly take you as our parents, we adopt your home & your family as ours then it's also your duty to take good care of us like your small children.
We weren't born with brain to detect which is correct & what is wrong. It's you to whom we depend on to show us the right way to behave, right things to eat and right thing to do.
My only humble request to all dear parents, please take good care of your little pups who loves you alot. You need to check what they're eating, are the food right for them? are the nutrient fine for us? Never ignore the vommit they does, always be sure your pup is eating healthy food.
Like in human's life, cleanliness is must in our life as well. Don't misjudge us as like we're animals and we don't need cleaning at all. We do infact, we need bathing from time to time, if you can bath your pup once in a week or in two weeks.
Never forget to clean our ears, they gets so dirty and so soon and its itchy if its not clean. And our nails, if its too sharp, too long then we might scracth you, so its better for both of us to cut it weekly.
Also don't forget about our eyes, its the eye that show us how much you care for us. Keep on tracking on our eyes, see if we get any infection on it and never ever neglect if you find slight difference in our eyes.
To be a responsible Pup Owner, one must go through alot hard work, like you better search what breed is perfect for you then only go for that breed. Regular vet checkup is must for everyone and on our fast life we've internet now that help us learn more online....
any problem, simply ask or query on forum like dogster...a quick query to vet as well....its never ending story.....you'll learn eachc & everyday about your pup, what to do and what not to do....its really tough to be owner & parenting kids like us....
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone..... :)

3GS FW-4.0.1, BB-05.13.04, SN-87031, Win7
Want to jailbreak and unlock with the newest firmware, what are my options. Thanks in advance guys.
3GS FW-4.0.1, BB-05.13.04, SN-87031, Win7
Want to jailbreak and unlock with the newest firmware, what are my options. Thanks in advance guys.
Keep that baseband 05.13.04,
- use Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze to cook/create (remove iOS 6.0.1 baseband of 05.16.07) custom iOS 6.0.1 .ipsw,
- follow the instructions in Redsn0w or Sn0wbreeze to enter "Pwned" dfu mode from regular dfu mode. (Redsn0w select yes to prevent baseband update)
- if using sn0wbreeze open iTunes & when u click "Restore" hold the shift key & select the custom/cooked .ipsw u created on your desktop.
- Install Ultrasn0w from Cydia
- use unlockit.co.nz/ to create APN certificate to use 3G data for your specific carrier.
- Enjoy iOS 6.0.1
- Be good cuz Santa is watching! Lol,
***If your 3GS is "NEW" bootrom, never update to iPad baseband or you'll most likely brick (fry ur radio chip) which can't be fixed. In Sn0wbreeze after you've downloaded the .ipsw it'll ask u A) New bootroom B) Old bootroom or C) Not sure.
If ur not sure select C & let sn0wbreeze detect it for u. Getting this question wrong can cause troubles, don't get it wrong & never update to stock Apple iOS so u can keep that 05.13.04 baseband which can be easily carrier unlocked by ultrasn0w.
Also if it's new bootroom 3GS the jailbreak is "tethered" (must use Redsn0w to boot tethered when rebooting or dead battery) if it's old bootroom 3GS it's in-tethered jailbreak.
Either way query Cydia via Redsn0w to see if u have any shsh blobs available, if u have iOS 5.1.1 that's the best option as of now.
Or if ur jailbroken now on ops 4.1 use iSHSHiT from Cydia & email ur shsh blobs to ur desktop.
Or use iFaith from ih8sn0w.com to get any shsh blobs & save them to ur desktop.
To restore to iOS 5.1.1 you'll need to worry about preventing baseband update & you'll need shsh blobs to add activation to .ipsw also, as Apple is no longer signing iOS 5.1.1.
Last edited by nillam1; 2012-12-04 at 11:16 PM.
Tried the procedure above with an old and new bootrom 3GS iphone and both are tethered and the ultrasnow unlock does not work on either phone (no service with T-Mobile sim). Any idea why the old bootrom phone is not untethered and why the ultrasn0w unlock does not work on either phone? Thanks for the help.
Well there's no jailbreak for iOS6 for now, so u should update to iOS5.1.1:
Remember to keep ur baseband, not sure if necessary but better save,
then jail break it and unlock it via Cydia ,
have fun
Does anyone here have a answer to post #3?

Journeyman Stud Releases 2014 Stud Fees
Brethren and Winslow Homer are new to the Central Florida farm's 13-stallion roster.
Brethren and Winslow Homer are new to the Central Florida farm's 13-stallion roster.
Son of Unbridled's Song out of graded stakes winner Summer Raven (by Summer Squall) retired, will stand at Brent and Crytal Fernung's Journeyman Stud near Ocala, Fla.
Some prominent names -- including Flat Out and Pants On Fire -- are set to clash in the April 27 Westchester Stakes (gr. III) at Belmont Park.
Two allowance events on the Feb. 15 and 16 Gulfstream Park cards feature some of racing's familiar names, with Pants On Fire taking on milers Feb. 15 and Capo Bastone making his first start since the Breeders' Cup Juvenile.
Grade I winners, at ages 8 and 9, respectively, face talented field at Gulfstream.
Citrus Kid, making his first start since September of 2011, held off 3-year-old El Padrino in a comeback race for both Dec. 19 at Gulfstream Park.
The $100,000 Harlan's Holiday Stakes may be ungraded, but the Dec. 16 renewal at Gulfstream Park still drew a strong collection of top contenders.
Hollinger will find an opportune spot in the $100,000 Tropical Turf Handicap (gr. IIIT) at Calder Race Course & Casino, in spite of hauling high weight on the Florida oval's closing day.
Eighttofasttocatch has been tabbed as the 9-5 favorite as he goes for a repeat in the $150,000 Maryland Million Classic at Laurel Park Oct. 6.
Woodbine-based Stormy Lord ventured to Philadelphia for the $250,000 PTHA President's Cup and produced a 9-1 upset for trainer Ian Black Sept. 17 on a yielding turf course at Parx Racing.
Mark Casse, who won the Dominion Day Handicap (Can-III) a year ago with Marchfield, will have two more chances in the latest edition of the $200,000 race when a field of 11 lines up July 1 at Woodbine.
Fifty Proof earned his first graded stakes win when he disposed of odds-on favorite Exhi on the final turn and held on for a half-length win in the $175,871 Eclipse Stakes (Can-III) at odds of 10-1 at Woodbine May 28.
This was nothing like the 56-1 stunner he pulled off in the 2009 Rebel (gr. II), but Win Willy's one-length victory over odds-on favorite Misremembered in the Oaklawn Handicap (gr. II) April 9 still qualifies as a major upset
Led by grade I winner Misremembered, a small but strong field of six was drawn for the $350,000 Oaklawn Handicap (gr. II) April 9 at Oaklawn Park.
Trainer Steve Asmussen took the top two spots in the $125,000 Razorback Handicap (gr. III) when It Happened Again scored his first graded stakes win by a half-length over stablemate Thiskyhasnolimit March 12 at Oaklawn Park
Win Willy has been fighting uphill this season at Oaklawn Park, his trainer says, but the 5-year-old should get a better shake in the $125,000 Razorback Handicap (gr. III) March 12.
Haimish Hy rallied from last on the final turn for jockey Garrett Gomez, winning the $250,000 Hollywood Derby (gr. IT) in the final couple of strides by a head over favored Sebastian Flyte on the turf Nov. 28.
Fantastic Pick will face four of the horses he defeated in the Oak Tree Derby (gr. IIT) last month when he goes for his first grade I victory in the $250,000 Hollywood Derby Nov. 28
Prince Will I Am closed from last on the turn for home to win the $250,000 Jamaica Handicap (gr. IT) going away over the Belmont Park inner turf course Oct. 9 for his first stakes win.
Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin looks to have a strong hand in the Jamaica Handicap (gr. IT) at Belmont Park Oct. 9, as he sends out a pair of graded stakes winners to head a field of 11 3-year-olds.
This year's Maryland Million, to be run Oct. 2 at Laurel Park, attracted 110 horses on an 11-race program highlighted by the $150,000 Maryland Million Classic at 1 1/8 miles.
Stately Victor, who took the Bluegrass Stakes (gr. I) in April before off-the-board finishes in the three off-the-board finishes, returned to the winner's circle in the Ontario Derby at Woodbine Sept. 25.
Fantastico Roberto, who set the pace but tired in the Jersey Derby last out, was tabbed as the 5-2 morning-line favorite in the $100,000 Saranac (gr. IIIT) Sept. 5 on the Saratoga turf course.
Trainer Nick Zito reported Aug. 30 that Miner's Reserve sustained a hairline fracture in his right knee in the Travers Stakes (gr. I) and the Mineshaft colt will be sidelined for several months.
He set the pace in the "Midsummer Derby" before finishing seventh.

Contextual Query Language
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (March 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Contextual Query Language (CQL), previously known as Common Query Language,[1] is a formal language for representing queries to information retrieval systems such as search engines, bibliographic catalogs and museum collection information. Based on the semantics of Z39.50, its design objective is that queries be human readable and writable, and that the language be intuitive while maintaining the expressiveness of more complex query languages. It is being developed and maintained by the Z39.50 Maintenance Agency, part of the Library of Congress.
Examples of query syntax[edit]
Simple queries:
"complete dinosaur"title exact "the complete dinosaur"
title = "complete dinosaur"
Queries using Boolean logic:
dinosaur or bird
Palomar assignment and "ice age""feathered dinosaur" and (yixian or jehol)
dinosaur not reptile
dinosaur and bird or dinobird
(bird or dinosaur) and (feathers or scales)
Queries accessing publication indexes:
publicationYear < 1980
lengthOfFemur > 2.4bioMass >= 100
Queries based on the proximity of words to each other in a document:
ribs prox/distance<=5 chevrons
ribs prox/unit=sentence chevronsribs prox/distance>0/unit=paragraph chevrons
Queries across multiple dimensions:
date within "2002 2005"
dateRange encloses 2003
Queries based on relevance:

This is the time of year I love bringing more magic to my child. One year my mother sent some Magic Reindeer Food to sprinkle in the yard to entice the reindeer to come to our home as fast as possible. One great thing about that, I have never seen my daughter go to sleep as quick as she did last year. She knows that Santa does not stop at a house that children are still awake. So I decided to make my own Magic Reindeer Food for this coming year. My daughter completely loved making this creation, so I thought I would share it with all of you:
1/2 Cup Oatmeal
1/4 Cup Red Sugar Sprinkles
1/4 Cup Green Sugar Sprinkles
1/4 Cup Granulated Sugar
Mix together in a tupperware container and then leave it out any way that makes your night special!

For beginners of our sport it's not quite easy to decide which size will fit for your feet. Here we will show how to choose the correct size based on your real foot length.
First of all you should measure your feet:
Therefore put on some socks you would also wear while skating. Then press your heel against the a wall (as shown on the picure below) and take the length to your longest toe. Note the length in millimeter.
When you have chosen a roller skate and opened the product page you'll find a sizing chart on the right hand side and below the product picture under "availability/prices".
Example! This is how the sizing chart can look like:
There you can see the "length" in millimeter. This length refers to your measured foot length. Please don't pay attention on the EU, US or UK sizes. Due to different fits of shoes and roller skates it's quite difficult to choose the correct size with these information.
IMPORTANT: The exact fit of the roller skates also depends on your individual foot structure.
So if you have a normal foot structure, neither very narrow nor very wide, you can go for the exact measured foot length.
But if you have a very wide foot structure you should take one size bigger.
Example: Your measured foot length is exactly 251mm and your foot structure is normal, you should go for S 7.0 on the sizing chart shown above. Because if you are between two sizes you should go for the next bigger size. With very wide wide feet we recommend taking the next size what would be S 7.5 in this case.
These recommendations are made to find the tight but comfortable fit for your roller skates. Since roller skates are sport equipment the correct fit is very important. Please note that due to the huge amount of different foot structures and skate types there will be no guarantee for the perfect fit. But our recommendations refer to our experiences and the experiences of our customers.
If you still have questions or feel unsafe deciding what the correct size should be don't hesitate to contact us: firstname.lastname@example.com

Kent North has all five horse-hung members of the pack standing in a line on a raised wooden platform, putting all of their crotches right at the perfect level for cock-sucking. He tells them 'You know why you're here. Fill all my holes...' and steps up to deep throat each rock hard cock in succession. Justin Gemini's 10x6 rock hard rod slides down North's throat, followed by Jason Crew, Ricky Martinez, Fredrick Ford and Rick Gonzales. North expertly deep throats every cock, even Ricky Martinez' (one of the biggest cock we've ever seen) who shouts 'You got skills! You got skills!' North works his way up and down the line, taking a break from each man's monster-cock to lick his boots.

Iceland's tourism boom fuels recovery, lays bare locals' plight
By Gwladys Fouche and Ragnhildur Sigurdardottir
GRINDAVIK, Iceland (Reuters) - On a recent weeknight Iceland's top tourist attraction, the Blue Lagoon geothermal spa, is packed with visitors wearing mud masks and quaffing local beer, contributing to a tourism surge that is helping to fix an economy wrecked by the 2008 financial crisis.
Many Icelanders are not having as much fun.
While unemployment has fallen to pre-crisis levels, gross national income per capita is around a quarter less than in 2007, about one-tenth of the population has fallen into serious loan default and thousands of homes have been repossessed.
They have little faith in the authorities fully restoring living standards and the resentment is fuelling the rise of the anti-establishment Pirate Party, which is leading in polls ahead of elections in October.
The mistrust runs deep. Iceland suffered one of the first big financial implosions of the European economic meltdown after the collapse of its banking system, becoming the first western European country to get an International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout since 1976.
It needed the $2.1 billion IMF loan, and another $2.5 billion from its Scandinavian neighbors, to protect domestic deposits and keep its krona currency, which has collapsed 70 percent against the euro since 2007, from crashing further.
The government sharply reduced spending and raised interest rates to as much as 18 percent to control inflation that climbed to a record-high 18.6 percent in January 2009.
The currency collapse, though, helped restore competitiveness and, along with a big marketing push to promote Iceland as a destination, boosted tourism. Continued...

How to Pin Folder or Directory to Windows 7 Taskbar
March 12, 2010 | Filed under Windows 7;
Windows 7 has a new feature where it allows users to pin their favorite programs to the taskbar. This pinning is meant to replace the old Quick Launch toolbar and many Windows 7 users agrees that the Pin feature is way better than the Quick Launch toolbar. As useful as it is, you might have noticed that it is only possible to pin a program, shortcut and file to the Taskbar. What if you have a few folders which you normally access and work on? Try right clicking on a folder or directory and the Pin to Taskbar menu does not appear on the list.
Not to worry because there is a workaround on how to pin folders to taskbar in Windows 7 which doesn't require any extra software to do it. First pin any programs such that you don't want to pin such as the Windows Calculator. Once you've done that, you will need the full path of the folder that you would like to pin. If you don't know where to find it, navigate to the folder and open it. Now press CTRL+D and then followed by CTRL+C.
This part is the most important of all. Right click at the pinned Calculator and you will see Calculator and Unpin this program from taskbar. Again right click on Calculator and select Properties.
The target box should be highlighted. Now press CTRL+V to paste the path of the folder that you've copied just now. Click OK to close the Properties window.
Now try clicking on the pinned calculator and the folder opens instead of calculator!

LONDON — Organizers of an Antarctic charity race involving Prince Harry said Saturday they are suspending its competitive element because of harsh conditions, but plan to continue the journey to the South Pole.
Harry, 29, is a member of one of three teams involving injured soldiers that set off last week on the 200-mile Walking with the Wounded South Pole Challenge.
Expedition director Ed Parker said the teams were experiencing "a higher degree of stress" than expected and will no longer race one another but travel and camp together.
In a recorded message on the organization's website, Parker said the teams had had "a pretty tricky couple of days. The weather remains good but the terrain is very difficult, far harder than we had anticipated."
He said the teams would now be driven for part of the route and then finish the final 70 miles to the pole on foot, likely within a week.
Harry and actors Dominic West and Alexander Skarsgard are on the trek with teams from Britain, the Commonwealth and the U.S.
Guy Disney of the British team said there had been "a few small injuries — nothing too serious" and that the teams were determined to make it to the South Pole.
Harry, an army Apache helicopter pilot who has served in Afghanistan, spent several days in 2011 trekking with wounded servicemen on a similar expedition to the North Pole.

NASSAU, Bahamas — Actor Danny Glover has received a Career Achievement Award in the Bahamas as he reflected on the role he played as Nelson Mandela while the South African leader was still in prison.
The actor, 67, said late Friday that he was moved by Mandela's political writings as a student in the 1960s and acknowledged he was the only U.S. actor who portrayed him in a film before the publication of his biography and release from prison in 1990.
"There's a great deal that comes back over a period of time, those great moments when you thought you were doing something of value, and that the work you were doing as an artist was changing the world," Glover said.
He received his award at the Bahamas International Film Festival a day after the death of the 95-year-old former South African president and anti-apartheid activist. He earned an Emmy nomination for portraying him in the 1987 TV film "Mandela".

This is done using High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI), which uses 32-bit floating point data to describe a far wider colour space, enabling virtually the entire range of tones in a scene to be recorded. While some digital SLRs can capture a wider tonal range in RAW mode than is usually displayed in the finished JPEG image, none can yet record in full 32-bit HDRI, so to produce images of this type a little Photoshop magic is used.
Editions of Adobe Photoshop from CS2 onward (currently CS2 and CS3, but I'm sure there'll be more) have an option to merge a series of digital images into a single 32-bit HDRI image, incorporating image data from several pictures into one. The process is simple and fully automated, but in order to use it you need to take a series of photos in a particular way. They need to incorporate exposure data from both ends of the dynamic range you wish to capture, as well as a number of shots in between. Although the effect can be achieved with just three shots, the best results are obtained using six or seven.
For this series of example shots, I fixed the camera on a good solid tripod, so that all the pictures would be from precisely the same angle and position. I took an average light reading from the scene as a whole, and then set the camera to manual exposure mode and adjusted the exposure to three stops slower than the metered value, in this case 0.4 seconds at f/8.0, and took the first shot. I then took six more shots increasing the shutter speed each time at one-stop intervals, so that I covered a range from three stops below the recommended exposure to three stops above. There are one or two digital cameras that have a plus-or-minus three-stop range of exposure compensation, but most only have plus-or-minus two stops, so you'll need to have the option of manual exposure for this.
Next comes the automated step. Simply open all seven images in Adobe Photoshop CS2 or CS3, open the File menu, mouse down to Automate and select Merge to HDR… from the sub-menu. You can do this directly from Adobe Bridge file browser in the Tools > Photoshop menu. If you are using large DSLR files, the merging process can take a long time. The processing speed will depend largely on the power of your computer. If you have a modern dual-core processor and several gigabytes of RAM it will only take a couple of minutes, but those with older, slower machines may be in for a bit of a wait.
When the process is finally finished you'll see a screen like the one below, showing you the results of the process. You can save and preview the HDR image as a full 32-bit file, but bear in mind that it will be a very big file. Some of my 32-bit HDR files made from images from my 10-megapixel DSLR are around 114MB in size!
The preview in Photoshop includes an exposure slider so you can see the full range of exposure available.
While later versions of Photoshop can process 16-bit and 32-bit images, of course your computer and printer can only display 8-bit (per channel), so in order to display the HDR image we'll need to reduce it down to a manageable size. If you open the Image menu, under Mode you'll find several options.
If you select 8 or 16 bit options, you'll be presented with a choice of conversion options. For images of this sort, with a wide latitude of brightness, the best option is Equalize Histogram, since this will balance the extremes of brightness and shadow across the available colour space.
The result is an image that includes the shadow detail from the over-exposed frames with the highlight detail from the under-exposed ones, all in one nicely balanced image, with a full range of tones from black to white. It's not quite a totally accurate depiction of the real scene, but it's the best available with current display technology and it does look nice, which is after all the main point of the exercise.

Prince's prayers for grandmother
Prince Charles has attended church in Scotland for the first time since the death of his grandmother, the Queen Mother.
The kilted Royal was accompanied at Crathie Church on Royal Deeside on Sunday by Camilla Parker Bowles, who wore a dark overcoat.
They entered the church by the side door traditionally used by the Royal family for the 11.30am service.
They were greeted by a crowd of almost 50 well-wishers.
Last week Prince Charles and Prince Harry arrived at Balmoral for a period of rest and contemplation at the Queen Mother's Birkhall holiday home on the Balmoral Estate.
Their attendance at Crathie came just a few months after the Queen Mother paid her last visit to the church.
'Pretty drained'
Later, as he left the church, Charles waved to the waiting crowds as he drove away with Camilla Parker Bowles in the back seat of their car.
Crathie minister the Reverend Bob Sloan said he was "delighted" to see both of them at the church.
Mr Sloan said Prince Charles must have been "pretty drained" spiritually and emotionally following the death of the Queen Mother, but at church the prince appeared to be in good spirits.
He added: "He has been under scrutiny now for some considerable time.
"He looked well - I was delighted to see her here, I was absolutely delighted.
"It was marvellous to see them, it was great after all that he has come through."

There are 22 future police officers in Smithville.
In a series of rooms behind and beneath the Village Market Plaza on East Main Street they practice self-defense, attend lectures on legal and police procedures, learn to examine crime scenes and practice the other skills they will need in their law-enforcement careers.
This is the Northeast Training Academy.
School Commander Clarence "Jake" Sullivan tells one cadet to suit up in heavy padded gear and instructs another to pick up her police baton. While they get ready, students in the next room investigate a "crime scene" Sullivan has constructed, complete with yellow tape and mock evidence.
When the first two cadets are ready they spar, night stick against padded giant. Other instructors lecture in the front classroom.
Three cadets practice taking a suspect into custody while a uniformed instructor/officer makes small corrections in their stances and procedures.
According to Sullivan, the Northeast Training Academy opened in February 1999 and its first class of 17 cadets started their road to law enforcement in the spring of that year. The second class is in training and due to graduate on April 20. Enrollment has already begun for the session beginning May 8.
"Most of us in the area that have the years in law enforcement that I do went to the Wayne County Sheriff's Academy at the Justice Center in Wooster," Sullivan said. "That shut down in the early 1990s. Would-be officers had to go elsewhere.
"I saw the opportunity and need for an academy. I checked with the local departments and they encouraged me to pursue the idea."
Jay Lax, a captain with the Orrville police, said, "I went to the Sheriff's Academy in the 1970s with Jake Sullivan and later taught a number of courses there for some years. Today, two of our reserve and one of our part-time officers in Orrville have attended Jake's Northeast Training Academy. They also teach specialty courses so we have a local venue to send our existing officers for ongoing and advanced instruction. I think it's a great asset to have a local academy and I intend to utilize it as much as possible in the future."
After attending the sheriff's academy, Sullivan started his career with the Wayne County Sheriff's Department in 1976. A year later he moved to the Orrville Police Department where he served for 13 years. He finished his active-duty career in 1996 as chief of the Smithville Police Department. That same year the Wayne County Schools Career Center began its two-year criminal justice program. Sullivan took a position there as a vocational education instructor and found that he liked the work.

Turbo 400 or 700R4?
My 72 Nova engine is about done. It's about a 600 HP BB Chevy street car. Nothing fancy, just bored .060 over, 10.5:1 compression, big cam, dual plane intake, headers, ported heads, roller rockers, etc. This is NOT a drag racing car. It has a stock TH-350 3-speed in it. It has an aftermarket posi differential. It mostly likely has a stock 10 bolt (not sure which one) approximately 3.0 gear and a stock torque converter. Now that the engine work is done - I need to plan the drivetrain upgrade. The chassis and rear suspension is stock. I ran this car last year with a 500 HP motor and despite the stock drivetrain and high rear gear it really ran good throughout the entire rpm range. I still only got 4-6 MPG. I do however want a different transmission because my engine guy told me a TH-350 will eventually destroy itself with 600 HP in front of it. What should I do. If I stick with an auto trans - which should I go with. Also, what other modifications would be required? driveshaft, trans cross member? pinion/yoke? What would I expect to pay for all this if I bought the parts and did it myself? Can I keep the stock axles and housing or does that have to get replaced also? someone told me that if I have the 11/16" ring gear bolt heads that I have a strong 10-bolt. Is that true? Oh, one more thing. I can probably be talked into putting in a 4-speed manual. thanks.
A 700R4 can handle the HP if it is built for that purpose. A box stock one will probably not last long. If you go to Bowtie Overdrives web site they have 700R4's built for a specific HP range.

April 5, 2014
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Invited guests and members of the Michigan hockey family gathered today (Saturday, April 5) to honor the 2013-14 University of Michigan ice hockey team during the annual Dekers Blue Line Club banquet at Weber's Inn.
Freshman forward JT Compher (Northbrook, Ill.) earned three of the eight team awards after an outstanding first season with the Wolverines.
The inaugural Big Ten Freshman of the Year and an All-Big Ten Second Team selection, Compher earned a share of the team's Deker Club Award as Rookie of the Year, the Hazel "Doc" Losh Award as the team's scoring leader and the Hal Downes Award as the most valuable player.
Compher led the team and Big Ten freshmen with 31 points (11G, 20A) for an average of 0.89 points per game. His assists mark was also best among Big Ten freshmen. Compher was also tops among freshmen in conference play with 20 points (8G, 12A) in 20 games and was tied for fourth in the nation with three shorthanded goals on the season.
His four-point outburst (2G, 2A) on Jan. 24 at Michigan State was the most by a Michigan player since Oct. 13, 2011, when David Wohlberg had four points (G, 3A) in a 10-3 win over St. Lawrence. Compher had the most points in a game by a Michigan freshman in more than eight years in that contest.
Freshman goaltender Zach Nagelvoort (Holland, Mich.) shared the Deker Club Award for Rookie of the Year with Compher. A four time Big Ten weekly award winner, Nagelvoort excelled in his first season in net for the Wolverines. In 24 appearances, Nagelvoort went 11-9-3 with a 2.20 goals-against average and a .929 save percentage.
Senior defenseman Mac Bennett (Narragansett, R.I.) captured the Vic Heyleger Award as the team's best defenseman. An All-Big Ten Second Team selection, Bennett was one the league's top offensive threats from the blue line, finishing the regular season tied for sixth among league defensemen with 12 assists and seventh with 14 points (2G, 12A). He finished second on the team with 58 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating.
Junior defenseman/forward Andrew Sinelli (Dexter, Mich.) was awarded the Alton D. Simms Award as the most improved player. With Michigan short on defensemen due to injuries, Sinelli switched positions starting the week of practice before a Nov. 29 contest against Ohio State. Sinelli became a valuable member of the team's defensive corps, missing just two games the remainder of the season. On March 7 against Michigan State, Sinelli recorded his first career hat trick and the first by a Michigan defenseman since Jack Johnson had three goals against Ferris State on Jan. 26, 2007.
Senior forward Derek DeBlois (Narragansett, R.I.) earned the Joseph E. Barss True Team Player Award. DeBlois matched a career high with 20 points (6G, 14A) in his senior season with the Wolverines and was a key member of Michigan's penalty-killing unit. DeBlois set a career high for points in a game with three (2G, A) in a 5-2 win at Michigan State on Jan. 24. He finished third on the team with a plus-11 rating.
Other award winners included junior defenseman Mike Chiasson (Henderson, Nev.) for the Howard Colby Best Sportsmanship Award, and senior forward Luke Moffatt (Paradise Valley, Ariz.), who earned the Carl Isaacson Award as the Best Student-Athlete.

If this writer would give us the results of his pedestrianism, it would be acceptable to all the lovers of Chaucer.
She could dance untiringly for hours, but other pedestrianism wearied her.
He gave it up in the spring of 1809, and returned to leisure, poetry, and pedestrianism.
I said this with an artful delicacy, meant to imply that I was pointing at a very great and valuable privilege of pedestrianism.
"Looks as though you had devoted a good part of your time to pedestrianism," suggested Mahaffy.
He felt that his unworthy friend was bringing disgrace upon the causes of poetry and pedestrianism.
This exceedingly gentle form of pedestrianism was only an end of century hobby.
Now, the true charm of pedestrianism does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery, but in the talking.
The shoe is the product of civilization and properly chosen is preferable for pedestrianism in the city and on country roads.
So much for the unpoetic traveller with staff and knapsack, glorying, it may be, in his feats of pedestrianism.

Hi all! First time poster. I am in the middle of finalizing my first script for CodeCanyon.net submission and to my horror, another script was just published to the store with almost the exact same look! I wanted to get the feedback from other users as to what I can change about the script to make it unique enough for acceptance as I've spent so much time in development. Screen cast of my script and link to similar looking script…
My Script: Coalition Intranet System
Similar Script: PHP Social Network Platform
it's interesting how both these items can have such similar UI's…
They have different roles, I don't see why you need a different design. You are selling the functionality and not the design.
@Thecodingdude – I am unsure if I should take that as sarcasm, though I can assure anyone that this script has been in the works for a little over a month now. There are definite differences in the UI, but I am looking for CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM because I am unsure of how to modify the UI and keep it looking attractive. I've already contacted support and they told me to consult the forums.
It doesn't matter because you are not selling the template but the script. Maybe you guys are using the same framework (like bootstrap).

Like they said before once the cold sets in you may get lucky. Getting started I would tell you scout and more scouting and dont get frustrated. I have been doing it for a few years now and I have learned alot of things from older hunters or by doing it wrong then learning what works! Good luck and enjoy the ride!

Location: Biobased and Other Animal Co-products Research2012 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416):
1) Produce functional protein isolates from animal by-products. 1a. Develop a pilot scale process for producing poultry blood-based flocculant. 1b. Increase the yield and molecular weight of soluble peptides extracted from rendered animal protein. 2) Utilize animal-protein isolates in biobased applications. 2a. Broaden the application range for animal protein-based polyacrylamide (PAM) substitutes. 2b. Develop practical processes for the production of fermentation feedstocks derived from animal by-product proteins. Evaluate these feedstocks in fermentation systems.
1b. Approach (from AD-416):
Meat animal processing inevitably yields by-products, which include tissues and organs that are unsuitable for human food, such as feathers and bones, or for which there is low food market demand, such as blood. The current outlets for animal by-products, either through profitable use or disposal in the environment, are limited and shrinking. The proposed project is designed to create new utilization opportunities for these substances and reduce the environmental impact of meat processing. Two groups of promising applications are targeted here, use as fermentation feedstocks and use as renewable alternatives for synthetic polymeric flocculants such as polyacrylamide (PAM). Rendered protein will be processed into forms well-adapted for use in non-pharmaceutical industrial fermentations. Poultry blood and substances derived from rendered proteins will be tested in applications including algae culture flocculation, ethanol whole stillage clarification, mine tailings flocculation, cellulosic fiber flocculation, and municipal sewage sludge settling. At all stages, emphasis will be placed on employing processing techniques that are appropriate to the relatively low value of the products to be produced. Successful completion of this project will yield technologies that can be commercialized in a relatively short time period and produce new revenue streams for renderers and meat processors, while benefiting the environment.
3. Progress Report:
Flocculants are substances which help in clarifying liquids by causing suspended particles to settle more quickly; they are employed in a wide variety of industrial, agricultural, environmental and construction applications. Development of both bio-based and synthetic polymeric flocculants is a very active area of research. The tools available for measuring and comparing the performance of polymeric flocculants, though, are non-standardized and weak in a number of technical respects. In FY2012, we took a systematic approach to designing a method better suited for research into polymeric flocculants. Using a variety of flocculants, we crafted a method that is robust, sensitive and reliable. It employs a relatively inexpensive instrument, and a special buffer system adopted from another area of research. Our own flocculant research has progressed along a couple of fronts. In previous reporting periods we have shown that hemoglobin from poultry blood is promising as a biobased flocculant; the source material (blood) is a by-product that is burdensome to the poultry industry, and its technical performance as a flocculant is very strong. In FY12, we began work on design of a practical process for producing hemoglobin-flocculant from raw poultry blood at a pilot plant scale. This task is difficult because the flocculant properties of hemoglobin are diminished if it is not processed carefully, yet the processing costs must be kept very low. Our work in the past year has focused on the initial steps of the processing, where blood is collected and stored, while preventing clotting and red blood cell breakage. In investigating existing technologies for this purpose we found that while many were too expensive for our purposes, they were also overkill. We showed that significantly lower concentrations and lesser grades of anti-coagulant and preservative chemicals were adequate for non-medical blood processing. Meat and Bone Meal (MBM) is another promising source material for producing bio-based flocculants. The technical difficulty with using MBM in this application is the material's very poor solubility. In past reporting periods we found that MBM protein could be solubilized through harsh alkaline or non-selective enzymatic treatments, but that such treatments sacrificed much of the potential flocculant activity in the material. In FY12, we found that most of the protein in MBM can be solubilized using much milder enzymatic treatments, resulting in products with better flocculant properties. These enzymatic treatments make only very selective cuts in the protein chain, resulting in bigger, more functional protein fragments. This research is an advance towards the specific goals of the CRIS project, but it could also serve as a starting point for development of an MBM-based adhesive.
4. Accomplishments
1. A method for measuring the performance of flocculants. Flocculants are substances which assist in clarifying liquids by causing suspended particles to settle more quickly. Flocculants are used in agriculture for applications such as erosion control or manure treatment, and experimental flocculants are also being produced from agricultural by-products. Research and development into new flocculants requires methods for measuring flocculant performance, but the available methods are poorly designed. ARS researchers at Wyndmoor, Pennyslvania, have developed a flocculant performance measurement method that is robust, sensitive and reliable, using only inexpensive equipment and chemicals. This accomplishment will make flocculant research more productive, indirectly benefitting those in agriculture who are either flocculant users or producers of the raw materials to make flocculants.

Vinyl Asylum
Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.
I just picked up a JVC JL-F50 turntable at my local thrift store for $10 and after I got it home and cleaned it up it looks great and works perfectly. The cart was shot, but I swapped it for an old goldring electra I had laying around and it sounds pretty darn good - I was suprised. I think it will be a great second table to play older thrift store vinyl. Anyway I tried searching, but I couldn't find any information on this table. Do any of you have any opinions and/or experience with this or a similar table? Either way, I think I got a good deal and am stoked!

second y-axis in a graph
I would like to plot two functions with "DisplayTogether" in
one graphics. However, I would need a second y-axes since
the numbers of the second function are much smaller than
those of the first function.
Is there any way to add a second y-axis and relate a
function to that axis?


text: Here is my wish list for the summer. I would be very interested in hearing what others would do. I suggest, or ask, that each person list what they would do. After a couple of days of that, lets open it up to comments on each others posts. 1)We do not sign Webber. 2)Hunter retires to coach 3) Mohammed is traded, bought out, or let go. 4)We re-sign Davis. 5)Coach Saunders is fired, along with his staff. 6)Flip Murray is released, traded, or bought out. 7)Dyess is traded. 8)Dupree is released. 9)Sign Corliss Williamson. 10)Start out the season with these guys on the roster: Billups, Rip, Tay, Sheed, Jason Maxiell, Stuckey, Afflalo, Mejia, Amir Johnson, Dale Davis, Corliss Williamson, Samb.

Derry Trojans looking to bounce back
DERRY — Tim Sweeney has no quarrels embracing the steep challenges that lie ahead of him and the Derry Trojans.
Truth be told, Sweeney possesses the rare competitive fire needed to jumpstart a desperate program, and the former walk-on linebacker at Penn State seems especially driven at the notion of doing so at his alma mater.
The first-year head coach took over an essentially crippled team in the offseason after it suffered through one of the most trying seasons in WPIAL history in 2013.
Not to mention, Sweeney saw the lowest number of players in school history, 31, report for camp earlier this month.
"Yeah, I do think we've got to embrace the challenge," Sweeney said. "I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of numbers, but without question we had the lowest turnout in the history of Derry football this year, so that's kind of where we are at his point.
"But I'd really like people to know that just because our numbers are down doesn't mean I don't have 31 players who are truly committed in that locker room. It's a special group in there, and they're destined to do some special things here at Derry."
Since the Trojans possess limited proven weapons at the skill positions, Sweeney said he expects his offensive line to guide them in their run-heavy, multiple-formation attack.
Junior guard Levi Humbarger, senior guard Alex Medina, senior guard Chase Stevenson, sophomore center Hunter Edmiston, junior tackle John Baker and senior tackle Josh McCleary will pave the way for senior running backs Troy Balega and Josh Flack and sophomore Tyler Balega.
Sophomore Noah Wiencek and senior Nico Latta will split time at tight end, and senior Vincent Maples (guard), sophomore Adare Medoro (guard) and junior Logan Brown (tackle) will rotate in on the offensive line.
Troy Balega rushed for a career-high 76 yards on 15 carries in Week 5 last year against Hollidaysburg. Flack ran for a career-best 69 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in Week 8 against Hampton, and Tyler Balega galloped for a career-high 44 yards and a touchdown on eight carries in Week 7 against Highlands.
However, the Trojans mustered an area-low 758 rushing yards last year, an average of 75.8 per game.
"I honestly don't know what to expect, but I hope it's the five guys on our offensive line who become our playmakers," Sweeney said. "I expect it to be a run-heavy conference, and without our offensive line we're not going to do anything."
Although juniors Trey Friedline and Sonny Stevens will likely share reps at quarterback, sophomore Josh Bauer and freshman Ryan Polinsky could also see time behind center.
Friedline posted career highs in yards (153) and completions (17) in Week 4 against Indiana last year. In that same game, Bauer tossed a touchdown pass to sophomore Kerek Hoffman, one of Derry's best returning targets at wide receiver.
Senior wide receiver Jaymie Howe, Derry's most productive returning skill player, recorded team highs in receptions (17) and receiving yards (208) last year. Howe notched career bests in receptions (6) and yards (59) against Indiana.
Sweeney said most of the players on his offensive line will platoon as regulars on the defensive line. Humbarger (tackle), Baker (tackle), McClearly (nose tackle), Maples (tackle), Medina (nose tackle) and Chase Stevenson (defensive end) make up the defensive front.
Freshman Jeff Perratone (defensive end), senior James Yakopovich (tackle) and Stevens (defensive end) will rotate in with the starters.
Other two-way starters are: Latta (cornerback/free safety), Wiencek (outside linebacker), Tyler Balega (strong safety), sophomore Collin Holden (free safety) and Howe (cornerback).
Junior Nicholas Chinchock and sophomore Matt Marron will each start at inside linebacker.
"It's going to be hard, but we're going to have to do it. A lot of our kids are going to have to play both ways," Sweeney said. "The numbers are low, and that's just what's expected of them.
"We worked really hard all summer, and that's because we knew our numbers were down. These guys have worked really, really hard, and I believe they're in great shape right now."
The Trojans have lost 18 straight games dating to a loss to Mars in Week 2 of the 2012 season. Derry went a combined 3-25 in the last three seasons under former coach Al Gaiardo in the WPIAL Class AAA Greater Allegheny Conference.
Derry dropped a class and joined the Class AA Interstate Conference this year.

College dorm life can be rather trying. Reader Cody recently e-mailed us asking if we had any advice to share on how to handle life in these tight living quarters.
We agree that it is difficult to keep the small dorm rooms organized and in an uncluttered state. Here are some tips and products to help achieve the nearly impossible task:
- One of the worst things about dorm life is taking a shower. You have to gather up all of your things and take the walk down the hall to the shower facility. Make sure you have all your products in a tote that you can carry with you. You don't want to forget anything and have to make that walk again.
- Next on the list is doing your laundry. Again, you must walk somewhere to do your laundry and you have to make sure you have everything you need to clean your clothes. With this hamper tote the clothes are already separated and there are storage pockets for laundry supplies.
- Closet space is at a premium and you can't really install anything into your space, so go for the hanging organizer that adds six shelves to your tiny closet. Also, try and put normally unused space to use. An overdoor shoe rack with hanging hooks can do the trick behind your door.
- Under bed storage bins can come in handy. Put them to use by storing out-of-season clothing, extra blankets, and school supplies.
- Dairy crates are great for storing and stacking books, media, and whatever else you can think of. They also come in handy when you are moving to and from school.
- Try and pack the bare minimum when you first move into your dorm room. The less you have the better. If you find that you need something, go ahead and have the parents bring it when they come and visit or pick them up when you're home for a break.
I hope these tips help out. We'll try to get some more ideas your way in the coming weeks before classes start back up in the fall. Now let's just hope your room mate lives an uncluttered lifestyle. Good luck on that one.

Eagle Cam: Long-awaited live feed of eagles' nest up and running
Miles Citians have been watching the eagles nest on West Main Street from below ever since it was built, about seven years ago, but now they can get a much better look from above the nest with the Miles City Eagle Cam.
And the footage can be shared with the world, through a live stream on the Internet.
Several technical problems had to be overcome, but the long-awaited moment has come.
After seven months of planning, the camera was installed the end of February, just hours from the eagles' return, with the help of the Miles City Fire and Rescue's ladder truck and personnel.
Then the work was focused on running the cable to the nearby ROCKS building for the Mid-Rivers connection. The weather hampered that process.
On April 7 the truck was called into action again for repairs. Though workers had to get somewhat near the nest, the eagles did not seem to be bothered by it.
Information Officer Cathy Stewart from Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks said in an e-mail a few days ago, "The problems we were experiencing were due to a broken wire within the cable near the camera itself. The repairs were made, hardware was re-tested and the camera has been streaming flawlessly for approximately 24 hours now. A few of us even checked on them during the night, as the camera has infrared capability."
"I, personally, have already learned a lot about bald eagle nesting behavior! They do not appear to be disturbed by the camera. There appears to be one egg, possibly two, in the nest," she added.
Work was still being done at that time to ensure it was operating properly, before a heavy influx of users began to access the Web site, but now it is ready for viewing.
The camera providing 24-hour, live-feed footage of nesting bald eagles is officially live today.
Word passed quickly around town and beyond, however, and even before the announcement, many eyes had already studied the nest and its inhabitants.
The nest is approximately eight feet wide and sits 98 feet high in a cottonwood tree. It has been used consecutively for five years by nesting pairs. The eagles are currently on the nest, and from what can be viewed, there are two eggs in the nest.
"We have already learned so much from this opportunity," said Brad Schmitz, FWP Region 7 Supervisor. "Not only about this pair of eagles in particular, but also this technology that may be used in future projects." FWP expects believe the resident bald eagles have an enormous amount of information to share with the community.
There are two ways to access the live stream video:
1. http://53431558b81c6.click2stream.com
2. Go to http://click2stream.com, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "view our cameras worldwide," navigate to Montana and click on Miles City; the video "Miles City Eagle Cam" will come right up.
This project has not just been an FWP project.
"It has truly been a community project", Stewart said.
Immediately after beginning to pursue the idea, support and offers to help began coming out of the woodwork. Organizations directly involved have been Yellowstone Valley Audubon, ROCKS After-School Program, Mid-Rivers Communications, Department of Transportation, Miles City Fire and Rescue, City of Miles City, Kiwi Pete's Tree Service, Technologies Plus and FWP. Individuals and entities providing skills or monetary donations include Dean Hanvold of Technologies Plus, Kiwanis, Builder's Club-Washington Middle School, Holy Rosary Healthcare Foundation, Dr. Williams, Jay and Denise Harvey, Ron Thomas and Ruben Oberlander.
Anyone interested in making donations for the monthly Internet service and future maintenance can make a check out to ROCKS and bring it by the local ROCKS office or mail it to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, P.O. Box 1630, Miles City, MT 59301 and put it attention to Cathy Stewart.

Alternative Discipline for Parents of Teenagers
There are plenty of parents of teenagers who are searching for alternative discipline methods that will have a lasting and positive influence on their teens. The problem with a lot of the common discipline methods being used by many parents today is that it is primarily negative. It isn't the actual punishments that are negative, but the manner in which parents are using to present their punishments to the teens that's negative.
For example, let's say your teen sneaks out of the house and gets pulled over for reckless driving. Many parents of teenagers would immediately begin yelling at their teen on the way home, telling him how stupid what he did was and then proceed to ground him or do whatever they felt was a fitting punishment. The actual punishment isn't what makes this discipline method negative. It's the way the parents handled the situation before delegating the punishment.
An alternative discipline method for handling this situation that would have better impact on everyone involved would be for parents of teenagers to pick their teen up from the police department and calmly drive home. First of all, your silence on the way home is going to relay how upset you are about what happened to your teen. There isn't a need to yell. Secondly, it's important that you look your teen in the eye when disciplining him or her, you can't do this if you are driving. And, finally, this gives you time to get your temper under control.
So, once you get home, sit down at the kitchen table with your teen and begin to calmly ask for your teen's side of the story. It's important that you take the time to hear his side of the story and consider all of the factors involved. Try to look at things from your teen's point of view. Then, once he has explained his side, it's your turn. This is when you calmly explain how disappointed you are in his behavior and how dangerous of a situation he put himself and others in by his actions. Then, you proceed with a punishment that you feel is fitting. You then end the conversation by reaffirming to your teen that you love him and only want what is best for him.
Above is an alternative discipline method that is positive in nature. It has the same results as the first as far as the punishment goes, but it differs in the way parents convey the message to their teen. Hopefully, you can see the difference.
Parents of teenagers who practice positive discipline techniques understand that this form of discipline will have a more long-term effect on their teens' lives. They also know that this form of discipline is one that always conveys love and respect to their teens, which is exactly what your teen will give back to you when you discipline in this way. Additionally, by handling situations like this in a positive and respectful way, you will be showing your teen how to handle heated situations with others in a positive manner. And, when your teen becomes a parent himself, your grandchildren will be treated with the same love and respect you treated your teen with.

Authors James McBride, George Packer win National Book Awards
By Patricia Reaney
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Writers James McBride and George Packer won National Book Awards, among the most prestigious literary prizes in U.S. publishing, at a gala dinner on Wednesday that also honored authors E.L. Doctorow and Maya Angelou.
McBride took home the 2013 National Book Foundation fiction prize for "The Good Lord Bird," an exploration of identity and survival during slavery.
It was chosen from a short list of books by authors including Rachel Kushner, previous National Book Award winner Thomas Pynchon, Jhumpa Lahiri and George Saunders.
"I didn't prepare a speech. I really didn't think I was going to be up here tonight," McBride said. "It sure is nice."
Packer won the non-fiction prize for "The Unwinding: An Inner History of the New America," a story about the United States that runs from 1978 to 2012 told through the lives of Americans from varying walks of life.
It competed in a category dominated by historical works by Wendy Lower, Jill Lepore, Alan Taylor and Lawrence Wright.
"This is an incredible honor," Packer said after receiving the prize at the 64th annual National Book Awards. "I feel very lucky to be given this award."
Mary Szybist won the poetry prize for "Incarnadine" and Cynthia Kadohata took home the young people's literature award for "The Thing About Luck." Continued...

Now I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. It's not Botox. Hot Rod's lips really are that naturally big. Some fish are just born lucky. Hot Rod never had a problem finding a mate…or three. He was quite the Casanova. What lady fish wouldn't want to kiss Hot Rod? But being so well endowed has it's drawbacks. A fish with big lips is just that much easier to hook. Little did he know, the fisherman that caught Hot Rod left behind an ocean full of broken hearts.

Forty odd years ago, Graham Greene wrote a famous book entitled The Ugly American which also was made into a motion picture. The story is basically that of a well meaning American who continually makes political mistakes because of ignorance of local customs and people. The ugly American scenario was recently re-enacted by Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, who handles East Asia and Pacific Affairs. On a trip to the Philippines, Hill commented that recent elections in the country demonstrated that "democracy in the Philippines has already matured." The comment came after an international observers mission had concluded, based on field evidence, that the elections had been absolutely chaotic and the mission has doubt as to whether the Philippines can be categorized as a democratic state.
Alejandro Lichauco, writing in the Daily Tribune, commented on Hill's statement. "Now, don't you consider that's a blatant example of US interventionism, calculated to give the world the impression that, as far as the US government is concerned, nothing, after all, went wrong with the elections, and that all those complaints and protest of fraud, terrorism, vote-buying, and voter intimidation, were pure fancy? And that therefore, political business should now proceed as usual and nothing should be allowed to upset the administration applecart."
The present Philippine government supports Bush in Iraq so that means it must be democratic. After all, we Americans are fighting against those who oppose democracy, so it stands by logic that any government supporting our glorious fight must, by definition, be a democracy. The ugly American of Graham Greene led to the defeat of any hope a democratic government could be established in Vietnam, and one suspects the same ugly Americans are doing something similar in the Middle East and other parts of the world. One wonders where Bush finds these people for his administration. Oh well, I really know the answer, they are loyal Republicans and that is all that counts. I suspect a prospective candidate must submit to a competence test prior to getting a position in the Bush administration. If he passes, it is an automatic denial of a position.
Information from Daily Tribune
Oh, here is the headline appearing in the Manila Sunday Times:
"Lunaro del Sur special Polls Marred by Violent Fraud"
