Sharpie Squad member, Laura Kelly, may be one of the cheeriest bloggers we have had the pleasure of working with! For the past 3 years she has brightened the Sharpie world by guest blogging and sharing her Sharpie love with the world (and across the country, in this case); so, what better way to celebrate the season than to share Laura's cheer with you all!
What better way to spread BRIGHT and happy love this holiday season than to add a little Sharpie fun to my already planned adventure across the country from North Carolina to California. With my backpack full of Sharpie markers to give away, sketchbooks and other random Sharpie gear, I grabbed my stuff and made my way to RDU to meet my long time BFF and get on our way.
We started in Raleigh, North Carolina on a beautiful sunny morning. Having arrived at the airport earlier than necessary we decided to grab breakfast at the super yummy 42nd Street in terminal C. When our server arrived, we informed her that she was the first lucky Sharpie winner. From the large plastic tub of Sharpie markers, she chose green as her favorite and I used it to draw a quick "Me and My Peep" character of herself. Our first stop was Boston and while there, I left the tub of Sharpie markers on my chair in Delta's Sky Lounge while going to get some fresh veggies and a refreshing beverage. Upon my return, I found the chair empty and heard the following over the loudspeaker, "Will the owner of the Sharpies please come to the front. Your Sharpies have been turned it." I dashed to get them and was told that I was lucky to get them back, that sometimes valuable left like weren't so fortunate as to be returned to their owners, like laptops and cell phones. She was one smart concierge; she sure knew the value of the Sharpie pen collection! I doodled a few things for some of the "business" travelers and witnessed a few overly dressed and somewhat pretentious professionals shift from uppity bumps on logs to open, connected and interesting regular folk. Who knew that a little Sharpie doodling and laughter could create a table of new acquaintances swapping holiday stories and plans while swapping Sharpie markers from my tub to keep or take back to loved ones at home. My favorite guy took four, two for each daughter (pink/purple and chartreuse/lime green).
Throughout the day, from airport to airport and on the planes; I sketched "Me and My Peeps" for those around me and made LOTS of new friends. The most popular colors taken from my collection were bright pink, lime green, red, black and purple. I got to hear so many great stories about the ways people use their Sharpies, how amazing their artistic children are with Sharpies, what kind of Sharpies they wish they had more of and so much more. I even got to doodle one of my all-time favorite men, Santa Claus. He asked me if I wanted more Sharpie markers in my stocking to which I replied, "OF COURSE I DO!
On Saturday morning we went shopping and I doodled along the way. The workers in the t-shirt shop were psyched to get their own "Me and My Peep" drawn and put them on display behind the register.
The dude working at the San Francisco Bath Salt store was another proud owner of his "Me and My Peep" and more than excited about the possibility of showing up in this blog. He was definitely a SILVER Sharpie marker kind of guy…with a sparkly personality to match!
During the day on Saturday, I took my Sharpie collection along for our outing to Alcatraz, thinking I might be able to graffiti a little in the cells…JUST KIDDING! While doodling in line I found a fellow Sharpie marker user…the girl assigned the job of marking our tickets! She was happy as could be when I replaced hers with a new sharp tipped red and happily let me photograph her in action. She said she wished she could use purple but that red was her only choice. I gave her a purple to use on personal time. She gave me a hug. I call that a GOOD DEAL! The boat trip over was a bit choppy so I kept my tub packed up and enjoyed the ride!
That evening we attended a wine tasting and once again, my tub was a hit! The tasters used the markers for their customer tasting notes. Personally, I recommend the 2010 Mendocino! It gained a bright red Sharpie heart on my notes!
On Sunday morning, I left a black Sharpie marker with a doodled up message on the paper machine. I watched from afar while people stopped to read it and chat up their Sharpie stories. Finally it was taken by a teenage girl who stated as she ripped it from the machine, "I think someone left this here for me." She was right. I guess I did.
That afternoon while shopping at Pier 33 and strolling Fisherman's Wharf, I took a break to sit down and sketch only to find myself surrounded with people who waited in line for their turn to get sketched. It was crazy fun. I passed out Sharpies and smiles at the same time. Some wanted to know where my tip jar was and I laughed. Can you imagine, drawing "Me and My Peeps" for tips. I do it for fun…for the mere pleasure of spreading cheer. Once inside Boudans to buy some sourdough bread, we decided to head upstairs and grab a bite. I put my tub of Sharpie markers on the bar while I dug in my backpack for my wallet and the man next to me said, "Wow, you are so lucky. You have so many Sharpies." I chatted with him and ended up giving him a few doodle tips. He practiced his skills on the postcards he was writing back home to his grandmother in Sweden. When I gave him the handful he used for his masterpieces, he reacted as if he won the lottery. He gave me the cheek and then the other cheek European kiss and then was whisked off with his mate to his table to eat.
I was then requested to draw the bartender and the girl on our other side so happily doodled some more, handed out some more love in the form of Sharpie marker, then celebrated my new friendships with a little time trading stories before heading back out to the piers.
I continued to doodle and hand out the markers until they were all gone. I was invited to new places to meet strangers' families, speak to their schools and illustrate their stories into books. I was thanked for sharing myself, for offering inspiration and for reminding people that they too were born to create…that doodling counts too and that they are already qualified!
I learned a lot from my adventure. The most important lesson that I was reminded of through this attempt to spread bright holiday love was that people from all over the world, of all ages and in all sizes love the joy that comes through creation and imagination. I was reminded that although I am often teased for being a doodle artist, my gift is unique and it makes a difference in the world we share.
Together with paper, Sharpie markers and strangers…we can connect, grow and care about others.
MERRY HOLIDAYS! May your celebrations be filled with lots of BRIGHT, CHEERY and HAPPY CREATIVE LOVE!

Ogden • Legendary.
That's what Jalen Moore is now. That's what he's earned. That's what happened when his half-court heave in an overtime game against a team that had won 20 consecutive games graced nothing but twine after the horn blared.
That's what happens when you will your team back from the depths.
"Two dribbles to the right," Moore said. "I love that shot."
In what was one of the best playoff games in recent history. Moore's half-court buzzer-beater sent his Sky View Bobcats to the Class 4A state championship. The final points of the night, the miracle shot, put Sky View three points ahead of Bountiful, 63-60, on Friday night.
"That's a dream come true, you know?" said Sky View assistant coach Jimmy Moore, Jalen's father. "He just hit the shot to take the team to the state championship game."
It was a perfect cap to a perfect final 30 seconds for the Bobcats, who trailed the Braves 58-54 after Bountiful junior Sam Merrill scored three of his game-high 35 points. From there, it was junior Braxton Godderidge who swished three clutch free throws to cut the Bountiful deficit to one.
Following two Merrill free throws, the ball eventually made its way to Moore, who drained a 3-pointer in the corner, directly in front of his teammates, to tie the game 60-60 with 8.3 seconds remaining.
And while Moore's half-court prayer will be etched into the minds of those in attendance Friday, it was junior Bryan Dority who gave his star a chance to win the game when he pounced on a loose ball with 2.9 seconds remaining.
The rest? History. Legendary. Two dribbles to the right. The shot he loves.
"All heart," said Sky View senior Matt Dewey, who finished with 18 points and eight rebounds.
In Sky View lore, in 4A playoff lore, Jalen Moore now will be synonymous with "The Shot," a release that has propelled the Bobcats known for early playoff exits into the Class 4A state championship game against region rival Mountain Crest on Saturday.
"These guys just refuse to quit, and they refuse to lose," Jimmy Moore said.
Such was the case when the Bobcats squandered a seven-point fourth-quarter lead to Merrill's phenomenal evening. A four-point deficit with 30 seconds? Sky View outscored Bountiful 9-2 in half a minute.
Moore's shot, in all its glory, hung high into the Ogden night as fans in the Dee Events Center held their breath. Even Moore had a chance to recover from his full-speed sprint and watch.
"It was luck, but we mess around in practice shooting half-courters, and I just got lucky and got one to fall," he said.
A legendary stroke of luck.

A9 TV; 7 January 2012
(In response to the question, "Can someone who is married ask Allah for someone else as his companion in the hereafter?")
Such painful things happen. Young girls go off and marry bovine men they do not love or like. They put up with those foul and stinking guys because of pressure from their families or society. But their hearts will be very different with someone of faith, whom they love very much. "I wish I could be with them in the hereafter," they say. No woman is obliged to be married to anyone. If she sees no fear of Allah in a person, if they lack faith, moral values and character, then divorce is lawful. You get divorced, and that is that. But the other way you just waste your life. You will suffer for a lifetime, and for nothing. What is the point? If you do not like his moral values, personality and character, and if there is no spark between you? If you love that person with your heart and faith, as a manifestation of Allah, if you believe you will be happy together in the hereafter, then marry them. What is the problem? You cannot say, "What is done cannot be undone." If you married them once, you can divorce them once, insha'Allah. You are under no obligation.
A liar is a very peculiar creature to me. Who resembles a robot, not a human being. What need is there to lie? You just say, "I do not want to tell you." Why lie? You say, "I do not want to talk about this subject," and that is quite legitimate. But lies are very bad. There is no excuse for them.
(In response to the question, "Is it a sin to donate one's organs after death?")
Why should it be a sin? You will earn huge merit from it. How wonderful, someone will be able to see. But they take them while the person is still alive, and that is unacceptable. Brain death has to take place. The brain has to be completely dead. If the brain is dead, then that is fine. That person is genuinely dead. The body can be made to move about, but brain death is essential. Or the brain may be blown to bits, may Allah forbid. And that is then fine. That person is dead. You can take the liver and transplant it into someone else, and the eyes and the heart, and that is all wonderful. You earn great merit from that. Why just bury it under the ground, where it will all rot away?
(Clarifications from Surat al-Furqan)
56- We sent you only to bring good news and to give warning. Abjad [numerological] calculation gives a date of 1980.
57- Say: 'I do not ask you for any wage for it – only that anyone who wants to should make his way towards his Lord.'
Almighty Allah constantly emphasizes in the Qur'an that no self-interest must be sought in preaching, because that is something that has a seriously negative effect on people.
58- Put your trust in the Living [Allah] Who does not die and glorify Him with praise. He is well aware of the wrong actions of His servants:
How well Allah speaks, first providing that information and creating ease in people's hearts; "Who does not die". Human beings die, but Allah does not. Not for all time. He lives for ever, and is omniscient, "the Living." "Place your trust in (Allah)." How excellent. "and glorify Him with praise," alhamdulillah. "He is well aware of the wrong actions of His servants:" Allah creates them, so He knows.
59- He Who created the heavens and the earth and everything in between them in six days, and then established Himself firmly on the Throne; the All-Merciful – ask anyone who is informed about Him.
In six days. In other words, Almighty Allah says that He created the heavens and earth in six periods, in six intervals of time.
69- and on the Day of Rising his punishment will be doubled and he will be humiliated in it timelessly, for ever,
Humiliation. That is one of the punishments inflicted on the unbeliever in the hereafter. Humiliation by Allah. But we will of course see what the torment of hell is when we are in the hereafter. Because we will have the true and genuine appearance of all things in the hereafter. Everyone will see. People wander around and talk in hell, and there are the flames of hell, "rising even above their chests." But we see they speak very calmly. They do not use an excited way of speaking. But they mock and gossip about one another. It is not the idea of hell we are familiar with. We imagine a place of raging fires. Not so. Because one could never speak in such a fire. The pain would be paralyzing. But these people talk and spread corruption in the flames. We cannot know. It is very odd. But we can see it is what makes them most uncomfortable, and what they most envy in paradise. We will often see that torment. "Tell your Lord to give us what they [the people of paradise] eat and drink." We can tell they are unhappy there. They want to leave. They want a way out.
72- those who do not bear false witness and who, when they pass by worthless talk, pass by with dignity;
Look, Allah forbids the telling of lies. Lying is very unpleasant. 'those... who, when they pass by worthless talk, pass by with dignity.' We see that on the television, two hours of empty gossip. Change the channel. Passing by does not necessarily refer to walking. You press the remote and avoid whatever is on, insha'Allah.
73- those who, when they are reminded of the Signs of their Lord, do not turn their backs, deaf and blind to them;
Some people pretend not to realize. Some pretend to be blind. But Allah tells us not to pretend to be blind and deaf or pretend not to understand. He says that His commandment is explicit, and we must understand and obey it.
74- those who say, 'Our Lord, give us joy in our wives and children and make us a good example for those who fear Allah;
In other words, those who say make us the leaders of Muslims. According to the Qur'an, does wanting to be him make one the Mahdi? So all Muslims must prepare themselves to be leader. They must pray to Allah for the moral values and deep faith to be the Mahdi, insha'Allah.
75- such people will be repaid for their steadfastness with the Highest Paradise, where they will meet with welcome and with 'Peace'.
What will people delight in most? Peace and security. They will be met with greetings. "Welcome, Salamun Alaykum," they will be told. Such people "will be rewarded" with paradise. There will be conversation there, and love, and beauty and food and drink.
76- They will remain in it timelessly, for ever;
There was a religious teacher the other day who said, "there is no eternal life in paradise." So where does it end? What happens when it ends. Why should it end? Imagine it ends after a million years, in his eyes. What is the purpose there? It is amazing how stupid some people can be. "They will remain in it timelessly, for ever," it says. For ever. I fail to understand these people. May Allah grant them common sense. "…what an excellent lodging and abode!" says Allah.
77- Say: 'What has My Lord to do with you if you do not call on Him?' Prayer is very important. 'But you have denied the truth, so punishment is bound to come.'
He has denied the Qur'an, so punishment for that is inevitable.
How could an intelligent, rational person deny Allah? Anyone with a clear mind can see. He sees a bright, 3D world inside his own brain. He hears sounds clearer than on even the best stereo. And what should a person with normal intelligence say in the face of this? He sees a glass, and Allah has created that glass in his brain. What will any rational person say to that? "Allah created it," he will say. When we ask about the glass, he will say a factory made it. But Who creates it in his head? Allah. Forget about the one in the factory. You cannot even see it. You have no direct experience of the factory glass. Allah also creates that, separately. But you encounter an image of it. But your direct experience of the glass in the factory is severed, you have no such contact, zero. Now, the glass was made in the factory, wasn't it? There is a transparent glass out there. But it has not the slightest thing to do with the glass in your brain. That is a glass consisting of a brand new image. It has absolutely nothing to do with the other one. That one still exists on the outside, but it is of no use to anyone. There is one glass, that which one sees in one's brain. Who creates it? Allah. But some people are obsessed with the one on the outside. The glass on the outside is dark and transparent. And Allah creates that, too. But it is of no use to them in that sense. There is one glass, the one on the brain, and that is directly created by Allah. There is no need for that glass on the outside. They imagine that this glass cannot be created without the one on the outside. He creates them both separately. Look the glass on the outside and the glass in the brain are created separately. There are two creations. "The Lord of the two Easts.." says Almighty Allah. Almighty Allah speaks of two worlds in the Qur'an. People do not realize that the glass in the brain is created separately. They imagine it is created dependent on the other. But they are actually separate. You admit the factory, don't you? Yes. Now this is created independently. So how does that come about? Allah created that, too. So Who created the one in the factory? Allah created that, as well. Simple as that. But if you go around denying that and giving the impression of being a crazy, then you will be punished for it in the hereafter, of course. And pretending to be crazy will not save you there.
(In response to the question "Will the wound on the Mahdi's brow be there from birth or appear subsequently?")
It could be either. Both are compatible with the hadiths. It could appear afterward, or it could be there from birth. Why not? But in my opinion, since it refers to a scar, it probably appeared subsequently.
My dear brothers say, "There are tribes in Africa that the faith has never reached." Look, Muslims are created with the Qur'an. In the same way they are created with hair, eyes, ears and noses. They are also created with the Qur'an. The Book will always reach a believer. And the people there. If their consciences are clear and their hearts are pure, Allah will send a spiritual guide from the other end of the world, and it will definitely reach them.
Surat al-Kahf, 28:
"Restrain yourself patiently with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, desiring His face." What do we want? The Islamic Union we are waiting for so patiently. "Do not turn your eyes from them, desiring the attractions of this world." "Do not turn your eyes from them" He says. Your eyes must always be on those who espouse the truth. You must not look elsewhere. "Do not turn your eyes from them..." Your eyes must be on whoever talks about Allah, the Qur'an, Islamic Union, the way of the Mahdi and the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) and the love of the Companions. Do not look elsewhere, He says.
"And do not obey someone whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remembrance." He has fallen into heedlessness and forgotten to remember Allah. Turn on whatever channel you like and you will see that. "…and who follows his own whims and desires" who chooses his own path outside the Qur'an, Islam and Islamic Union "and whose life has transgressed all bounds." In other words, do not obey someone who is not on the path of the Qur'an.
"Say: 'It is the truth from your Lord; so let whoever wishes be a believe and whoever wishes be an unbeliever'." Democracy and freedom of ideas. Do you see? You can have faith or be an unbeliever, as you wish.
"We have prepared for the wrongdoers a Fire whose billowing walls of smoke will hem them in." Allah says they are now behind walls, that the walls of hell have surrounded them. But they are unaware of it now.
"If they call for help, they will be helped with water like seething molten brass, frying their faces. What a noxious drink! What an evil repose!"
A water that causes torment. "What a noxious drink! What an evil repose!" …" says Almighty Allah.
"But as for those who believe and do right actions," those who have faith and do good deeds. They are sincere and preach, they spread Islam and are scrupulous over what is lawful and unlawful, and they pray.
"We will not let the wage of good-doers go to waste."
Allah says He has it all recorded.
"They will have Gardens of Eden with rivers flowing under them. They will be adorned in them with bracelets made of gold and wear green garments made of the finest silk and rich brocade, reclining there on couches under canopies. What an excellent reward! What a wonderful repose!" says Almighty Allah. He says that is how it is in paradise.2012-02-20 12:38:22

From Termini Station:
La Controra Hostel is located on Via Umbria 7, a prestigious position in the historical centre of Rome, and within 10 minutes' walk from Termini Train station. Exit the main doors of the station,walking past the city buses, and you just have to go straight towards Piazza Della Republica, a roundabout with a large fountain.

Mary Katrantzou Fall 2014
Mary, Mary, quite contrary . . . didn't show a single print this season. Well: That is very big news for the young Greek designer who, more than anyone else, led the revolution in digital technology that has swept through fashion, bringing its multicolored rainbow of imaging possibilities to clothes from haute all the way down to high street. But this season, Katrantzou paused and decided to test the powers of her decorative imagination in another way—using multiple handmade textiles and intense, sparkling embroideries instead of computer-manipulated ink on cloth. "It freed me," she said, simply. "I will always do print, but I want to substantiate something else for the future, too."
Kudos to Katrantzou that she is still young and confident enough to flee the pigeonhole of her digital success. For fall, her Greek subconscious seemed to kick in, producing an array of long silhouettes with flying pleats and short dresses gleaming with micro-patchworks and sequins. She had an intellectual explanation for how she contrived the decoration (much of it specially commissioned Swiss lace) which was centered in narrow panels running neck-to-floor along her long dresses and smothered across the bodices and skirts of the shorter ones. "Everything's made up of badges and symbols taken from road signs, scouts, cookie cutters, and militaria. But in the end, when we put it together," she mused, "it does look a bit pagan and weird. Something regal, but quite pop, too."
At certain points, something about it, too, seemed to touch on the richness of peasant or priestly embroidery—an area recently explored by the designers at Valentino, who coincidentally, have been researching Mediterranean costumes for inspiration. Meanwhile, in London, a stunning exhibition of antique Greek folk costumes at the Hellenic Centre opened earlier this month—a show Katrantzou swears she hasn't had time to take in. Yet deny it as she might, there's an instinctual resonance with the culture of Katrantzou's homeland in this collection, whether it be in the pleating, the metallic drapery, or the intricately woven grid-like patterns laid out over her stately finale dresses.
The fact that Katrantzou had nineties supermodels Kirsten Owen and Emma Balfour walking in her show seemed to indicate another departure: a declaration, perhaps, that Katrantzou is reaching toward a sense of maturity. Her plain, undecorated coats, and a series of more casual sweatshirts in lace and fur rounded out a collection that broke new ground for her. She's rightly sensed that fashion has moved on from the zone she initially pioneered with a few print dresses when she opened the Central Saint Martins M.A. graduation show in 2008. Six short years on, she has a business that sells all over the world—a global tribe of women she knows will always want color in their lives. It's just that now, she has an additional way of piqueing their desires. And in the end, her inner Greekness did show through, after all. Her finale music was a classic upbeat radio hit by the Greek chanteuse Marinella. Katrantzou's proud parents, in town from Athens, applauded in delight.

Herald Staff and news services
The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service announced Wednesday that it plans to stop delivering mail on Saturdays starting Aug. 1 — but will continue delivering packages.
Unless forbidden to do so by Congress, which has moved in the past to prohibit five-day-a-week delivery, the agency for the first time will deliver mail only Monday through Friday. The move will save about $2 billion a year for the Postal Service, which has suffered tens of billions of dollars in losses in recent years with the advent of the Internet and e-commerce, officials said.
"The American public understands the financial challenges of the Postal Service and supports these steps as a responsible and reasonable approach to improving our financial situation," Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said at a news conference. "The Postal Service has a responsibility to take the steps necessary to return to long-term financial stability and ensure the continued affordability of the U.S. mail."
Customers at the post office in downtown Everett had mixed reactions to the end of Saturday mail delivery.
"It doesn't matter," said Craig Krassin, 53, who runs an electrical contracting business in Everett. "For my business, I have a P.O. box, and I can get in there every day. I still get my mortgage statement and other things at home, but most of the mail at home is junk mail."
Everett's Shana Sloan worries about waiting several days for mail service. "It seems like a long time, that gap between Friday and Monday. And I work all week long, but do my bills on Saturdays," Sloan, 46, said.
Steve Mortz of Everett said he doesn't like how the decision was sprung on people.
"They didn't ask for comments, they just decided. For me, I'd like to get mail every day," he said. At the same time, Mortz hopes the Postal Service survives. "And Monday through Friday is really important," said Mortz, 51.
The loss of Saturday mail service could affect Washington's vote-by-mail elections. If the plan goes through without congressional intervention, the first Saturday without home service would be Aug. 3, the final weekend before the state's Aug. 6 primary.
Secretary of State Kim Wyman said in a statement that she was disappointed with the decision, but her office will work to make sure that voters aren't disenfranchised. She said that the state has already seen in an uptick in people using secure drop boxes to drop off their ballots.
"Secondly, we will be urging voters who wish to use the Postal Service to get their ballots mailed by Friday before Election Day. It takes a little shift in mindset, but with no home mail pickup on Saturdays, it will be a good idea to use Friday as the new target date," Wyman said in the statement.
The postal service plans to continue Saturday delivery of packages, which remains a profitable and growing part of the delivery business. Post offices would remain open on Saturdays so that customers can drop off mail or packages, buy postage stamps or access their post office boxes, officials said. But hours likely would be reduced at thousands of smaller locations, they said.
The Postal Service said it suffered a $15.9 billion net loss for fiscal 2012, which ended Sept. 30. That's three times the loss recorded a year earlier.
The Postal Service has pushed to cancel Saturday mail delivery for years. It announced the decision Wednesday without congressional approval, even though lawmakers have argued that their consent is necessary to make the operational change. Postal officials are expected to argue that they do not need congressional action to halt Saturday delivery.
In the past, Congress has included a ban on five-day-a-week mail delivery in its appropriations bill. But the Postal Service is currently operating under a temporary spending measure, rather than an appropriations bill, and the agency is asking Congress not to reimpose the restriction when the spending measure expires March 27.
Sen. Thomas Carper, D-Del., who has co-sponsored legislation in the past to reform postal services, said in a statement that he was "disappointed" that the Postal Service acted without congressional approval, but also understood that change was urgently needed.
"It's hard to condemn the postmaster general for moving aggressively to do what he believes he can and must do to keep the lights on at the Postal Service," said Carper, who recently became chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, which has federal workplace issues on its broad agenda.
Carper said he hopes to push through comprehensive reform legislation this congressional session. "Piecemeal efforts like the one the Postal Service announced today will not be enough to solve the Postal Service's financial challenges for the long haul," he said.
A majority of Americans support ending Saturday mail, according to national polls conducted in recent years, and President Barack Obama has proposed halting deliveries as part of his budget-cutting proposals. Though the Postal Service is a quasi-governmental, self-funding entity, its worker compensation and retirement plans are tied to the federal budget.
Lawmakers have tried unsuccessfully for years to enact a significant overhaul of the Postal Service, hoping to reshape the agency as a leaner organization that delivers mail less frequently and operates fewer post offices across the country.
The Senate last year passed a bipartisan measure that would have permitted an end to Saturday mail delivery only after USPS conducted two years of feasibility studies. But postal officials — and some GOP lawmakers — opposed that plan, arguing that reams of professional studies and a declining balance sheet already proved that the change was needed.
A Republican-backed postal reform bill cleared a key committee last year but was never considered by the full House. The GOP bill would have permitted ending Saturday mail deliveries within a year.
Opposition to significant changes rests mostly with lawmakers from far-flung rural communities, who fear that a change in schedules could jeopardize low-cost delivery of medicines and medical supplies to elderly customers. The publishing industry also has complained that any changes would force quicker magazine publication deadlines and require some publishers to seek private delivery options instead, likely raising newsstand prices.
In a statement Wednesday, Jeannette Dwyer, president of the National Rural Letter Carriers' Association, said the USPS announcement amounts to "yet another death knell for the quality service provided by the U.S. Postal Service."
"For decades, the Postal Service has upheld a personal and professional standard of service, delivering to every household nationwide six days a week," Dwyer said. "To erode this service will undermine the Postal Service's core mission and is completely unacceptable."

also a question to everyone, what would you say would be better for street photography, auto or manual focus? i use manual 95% of the time but ive realised auto could be a big help?
Last edited by AnonymousWaaa; 10-31-2010 at 11:31 PM.
Autofocus can be slower cos it often doesn't track what you want it to and can focus on the wrong thing. I like to be in control of everything personally.
Setting the hyperfocal distance at f/16 with a wide enough lens means I don't even have to focus at all.
Me and my baby and my new Voigtlander 35mm f/1.2. My new favourite lens its amazing.

channa, i like that set of pics. but i think they would look better with some editing of blemishes and rolls lol. not sayin shes not good looking. happens to everyone when they sit like that
fucking around at work. one of my managers:
ive been practicing my wide open focusing at night. im really pleased with what i taught myself
its not that ive always relied on auto focus(cause you really cant rely on AF on lowlight), ive just never really paid attention to the numbers on the lens barrel.
gonna be posting a few that shot with full manual settings/focusing hip shots

2 Chainz says he's on the "same team" as law enforcement
Listen to 2 Chainz on iHeartRadio

Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese
Revered as one of the world's great cheeses, Parmigiano-Reggiano is superb on its own, nibbled in small bits, or added as a one-of-a-kind savory flavor to countless dishes, from antipasti to salads to polenta and more.

Cheese makers there craft the cheese by hand using all-natural ingredients and following traditions almost 700 years old. The cheese is cut from wheels that have been aged at least 18 months and received the highest rating from the government's Parmigiano-Reggiano consortium, which attests to its quality and authenticity.

Tehran (XNA) Dec 26, 2012
Iran Space Agency (ISA) has announced that it will unveil a new home-made satellite in February, Tehran Times daily reported on Sunday.
Director of ISA, Hamid Fazeli, said Saturday that a new domestically-manufactured satellite, named the Nahid, will be unveiled on Feb. 2, 2013, which is Iran's National Space Technology Day, according to the report.
"The project to complete the satellite is going well, and we hope that the satellite will be unveiled on National Space Technology Day," Fazeli said, adding that it is more likely that Fajr (Dawn) and Sharifsat satellites will be sent into space by the end of the current Iranian calendar year, which ends on March 20.
The Iranian official did not elaborate on the technology and mission of the Iranian satellites.
According to the report, the Fajr is the first Iranian satellite that will be put into orbit. It is a reconnaissance satellite powered by solar energy.
On Wednesday, Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said that Iran was to unveil new space achievements soon.
Vahidi told reporters that the unveiling ceremony would take place on Feb. 2, Iran's National Space Technology Day.
In June, the defense minister said Iran's new space center, named Imam Khomeini Space Center, would be launched in the future and the Iranian scientists and experts from the Aerospace Industry Organization of the Defense Ministry would send into orbit new generation of the Islamic republic's satellites from the center.
As the first step, Vahidi said, the Dawn satellite would be launched into orbit from the Imam Khomeini Space Center.
Iran, a founding member of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, launched its first domestically-made data-processing satellite, the Omid (Hope), into space in 2009.
Iran frequently says that it will push ahead with its space program in the coming years.

Board of Trustees Honors Michael Bress, and Archpriests Jaroslav Sudick and David Barr
18 November 2011 • Board of Trustees
Following 12 years of outstanding service to our Board of Trustees and the seminary, Attorney Michael Bress was honored at a celebratory dinner with the bestowal of the title "Trustee Emeritus," a gramata acknowledging his board contributions, and a beautiful icon of the Holy and Great Prince Vladimir, patron of our school. Although Mr. Bress is stepping down from his role as Chair of the Legal Affairs Committee of the board, he will continue as an adviser to that committee.
In reflecting upon his tenure as a trustee, Mr. Bress remarked, "Through the years I developed a great admiration for St. Vladimir's, from my exposure to the publications of its press, contacts with priests who are alumni, contact with faculty at lectures and retreats, in my local parish, and especially from all I heard of its contributions to the development of Orthodoxy in America in the last 60 or 70 years. I accepted an invitation to join the board, hoping to make some contribution to the support of this fine institution. I have not been disappointed. Seeing the institution up close and the work that has to be done to keep it going has enhanced the general appreciation I had for St. Vladimir's."
Also honored for their service to the seminary and board were Archpriest Jaroslav Sudick, rector of Holy Trinity Church, Yonkers, New York; outgoing Alumni Association Board Chair, Archpriest David Barr; and outgoing Executive Chair, Anne Glynn-Mackoul (See full story on Anne Glynn-Mackoul's departure as Executive Chair here.)
Father Jaroslav not only served on the Academic Affairs Committee of the board, but also, in his position as President of the Yonkers Board of Education, helped seminarians and their families in navigating the city school system and acted as a liaison between the seminary and the city administration. For many years, he mentored seminarians at his parish, and he forged a relationship between the seminary and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York that enabled the seminary to produce a major sacred music concert in New York City, St. Matthew Passion, by Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) in 2011.
Father Jaroslav further noted that although he is moving from Yonkers in January, to take up new residence in Virginia, he is "not retiring" from life and duties. Upon his reception of the gramata and icon of St. Vladimir, he said, "It is not a 'job' for me to do the things I have done for the seminary; that's what I'm here for. We're here on earth to do good things, to do good to one another, and I will continue to help the seminary in the future."
