Nikon Capture NX 2 Classes
If you're getting started with Capture NX2 and want to get up to speed quickly, then consider taking a class from the official Nikon school. I'll be teaching a half-day workshop in six different cities around the country starting in November. For $99 it's a great way to get quickly immersed in the application, and learn the ins and outs of editing with this exceptional tool. The workshops will be held in Santa Clara, Washington DC, Orlando, Chicago, New York City, and Dallas. Check out the official link for more info.
Using Nikon Capture NX2 With Adobe Bridge CS4
Frequent visitors to this site know that I'm a big fan of Adobe Bridge CS4. However, if you're a Nikon user who shoots raw, then you might prefer using Nikon Capture NX for your raw conversions, rather than Adobe Camera Raw. Capture NX is a great program, and, because it's made by Nikon, does far better with some Nikon raw files than Camera Raw does. However, the workflow tools in NX and NX2 don't compare to Bridge CS4, but fortunately, there's an easy way to integrate the two programs.
Real World Capture NX 2 Now Available
Nikon's Capture NX2 offers revolutionary image editing tools wrapped up in a full-featured editing environment, with a built in browser. Real World Capture NX 2 will walk you through every function of the program, while teaching you good post-production workflow, and image editing tips. Aimed at the novice and experienced user, the book is ideal for anyone who wants to use the program.
Nikon Capture NX2
Capture NX2 is the eagerly-awaited follow-up to Nikon's excellent image editing, raw conversion software. While the raw converter only works with Nikon cameras, the editor itself is also compatible with TIFF or JPEG files. Why should you care if you don't shoot with a Nikon camera? Because Capture NX includes extremeley powerful editing tools wrapped up in a completely non-destructive editing environment.
Creating an Integrated iPhoto/Capture NX Workflow
If you've played at all with Nikon Capture NX, you already know that it has some of the best editing tools on the market (if you haven't played with it, a free demo version is available here). But, if you're used to the workflow management and output features of Apple's iPhoto, you may be reluctant to give up iPhoto's powerful library features to switch to a Finder-based workflow driven by the Capture NX file browser. Fortunately, there's a very easy way to integrate the two programs. With an integrated iPhoto/NX workflow, you can import and organize your images in iPhoto, but edit them using Capture NX's superior raw conversion options and localized editing tools.
Capture NX and the Nikon 10.5mm Fisheye Lens
Nikon Capture NX provides an excellent auto correction edit for removing distortion from images shot with the Nikon 10.5mm fisheye lens. Though I mention this feature in Real World Capture NX, I didn't have enough room in the book to include examples, so we're going to look at the specifics of this feature here. With the Fisheye Lens edit, you can create cropped, rectilinear images with a single click.
Real World Capture NX Now Shipping
|No matter what type of camera you use, Nikon Capture NX is an excellent image editing system for all of your post-production needs. While it provides raw conversion only for Nikon NEF files, it's unique editing tools will appeal to any type of photographer. Real World Capture NX covers all of Capture NX's features and capabilities from import to output. In addition to detailed tutorials on the program's unique correction and editing tools, you'll find discussions on raw shooting and how to integrate Capture NX into your current workflow. If you want to know more about Capture NX, then give the free 30-day downloadable demo a try. Real World Capture NX is shipping now.
Nikon Capture NX First Look
|If you've been trying to choose an image editor/raw converter and have been confused by all the options (Photoshop, Aperture, Capture One, Lightroom, etc.) then your quandry just got a lot more complicated. Nikon Capture NX, slated for release in the late summer or early fall gives all of those applications a run for their money, thanks to its innovative new approach to image editing.

In Focus: Bishop Malone discusses the church's global and local challenges
Bishop Richard J. Malone has been leading the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo for nearly 15 months. He talked with The Buffalo News' Brian Meyer about Pope Francis' recent call for changing the tone of church policy. Malone also discussed church closings and looming changes in some Catholic elementary schools. Here is a summary of key issues in an interview that is part of the "In Focus" series; watch the full interview above.
Meyer: Pope Francis talked about softening the tone of the church: embracing those who criticize church dogma; respecting those whose opinions are completely the opposite. Is this a change beyond tone? Could it be interpreted as a change in substance as well?
Malone: I think sometimes people are interpreting it as a change in substance. It certainly is a change in tone, which I attribute to the unique personality of Pope Francis when you compare him to some of the other Holy Fathers ... Sometimes people interpreted that kind of, you might say a warmer, more personal touch in how he presents himself as perhaps a softening of Catholic convictions on moral issues – or that maybe there will be some change in some of what we see as the hot-button issues – the nature of marriage is the union of man and woman, the sacredness of human life from conception to natural death – whatever it is. There's not a chance of that. The cardinals of the church would never, never elect a pope who they thought was a risk in terms of changing doctrine.
Meyer: But doesn't the change in tone almost make it more difficult for bishops like yourself to take a super-strident stand against – as you point out – same-sex marriage or abortion, or those other hot-button issues?
Malone: Interestingly, a couple of days after that famous long interview with Pope Francis was published, he had a meeting in Rome with Catholic gynecologists. And one of his strong themes was that they needed to fight abortion and protect the rights of the unborn. He referred to abortion as a symptom of a throwaway culture. So you don't see any softening of the pope there ... The Church still must proclaim the truth, even on these difficult, challenging things, but in a loving gracious way ...
Meyer: Let's talk about a local issue that many people are concerned about, and that is Catholic elementary schools. A study a couple years ago talked about how buildings are not being utilized nearly to full capacity. There's a push to get schools to talk about consolidation. Are we likely going to see a lot of school closings and consolidations in the near future?
Malone: Right now, there are very focused, facilitated conversations going on among all of the Catholic elementary schools in the Diocese of Buffalo. We like to think of it – and this is not just a positive spin, it's what I insist we do – as a revitalization of Catholic education. There are too many empty seats in some of our elementary schools. And a number of those schools are in pretty close proximity to other schools, which means that those schools with empty seats are often competing for the same students ... We have to spend much more money sustaining those not-full buildings that could be used in another way to enhance and strengthen the academic experience ...
Meyer: So looking at student population and trends, what would your guess be as to how many schools [might close]?
Malone: I couldn't take a guess yet. The teams in parishes and schools are working on that now. We gave them all the official information we have about population trends. We know there's a steady decline, for example, in the percentage of women of child-bearing age. And we see the effects of that, of course, on the public schools, as well as the Catholic schools.
Meyer: Where are we as it relates to church consolidations? We saw a lot of church closings, a lot of controversy, a lot of heartache. Are we going to see more of that in the near future?
Malone: I don't think there will be a whole lot of it. My sense is that most of the Journey in Faith and Grace, as we called it, which was Bishop [Edward] Kmiec's pastoral plan for reconfiguration of the parishes in light of resources and demographic changes, most of that is pretty much in place ... Probably down the line, in the next few years, there may be a couple of other parishes – or a few, I don't know the number – that might merge into a neighboring parish that would be linked, and then one pastor might have two instead of one parish to lead or something. But that's not all clear right now.

I ask because in some areas folks care, around here most don't. As far as a retailer coining the phrase " you get what you pay for" you are probably right, but it has most times been true for me. I can't think of too many exceptions, but I'm sure I had some. I just know that I've bought many tools the second time because I didn't buy good enough the first time. Also, I am 51 years old and have been around long enough to wear out a lot of stuff (including my knees, back and eyes) and definitely had a different opinion years ago. But that's ok, because diverse opinions is what makes this forum fun. Good luck and God bless.
Have to laugh at your description of yourself. OK, I'm a little older, but dang, also worn out knees, back, eyes and sadly heart so I can relate to 'wearing things out'.
We needed better quality control, or at least a warranty on our bodies, heh?
I'm in Southern California. Here, it's the big stores that don't want your business. It's mostly because Southern California is about 80% Hispanic and they don't want Anglos in 'their' stores. I mean, REALLY don't want Anglos around. Big chains can't control this behavior but smaller stores either don't wait on Anglos or give good service to everyone, depending on the manager. Example, we have 3 local Kragens parts stores. Anglo are welcome at two, distinctly not welcome at the third. Nothing about Kragens, all chains get this here. Just goes with the territory, it's a cultural thing.
If you were here, I would show you dozens of really high quality cheap products I own, and dozens of high priced junk items I also own…
My wife would agree with you, but then, she's a Cadillac owner/driver, a Nikon camera person, and an AKC dog owner if you understand me.

SPRINGFIELD, IL -- The number of jurisdictions that have voted to opt out of participation in Illinois' planned video lottery market has now reached 50, according to The Chicago Tribune.
The paper also said Gov. Pat Quinn continues to defend legalized video gaming, but his defense is a bit less ringing than before. On Dec. 28 the Trib paraphrased Quinn as having said: "It's too early to throw in the towel on video gambling as a revenue source." The governor also admitted that if enough jurisdictions vote to ban video pokers, "it may be necessary to replace those projected revenues in future years."
Quinn signed the Video Gaming Act in July, paving the way for operators to install an expected 40,000 or more video lottery terminals starting in late 2010 or early 2011. Tax revenues from the machines are part of a $30 billion fundraising plan.
Illinois Gaming Board chairman Aaron Jaffe gave the industry another black eye in the press this week. In a report in The New York Times, Jaffe said the Video Gaming Act was "filled with loopholes" and that he is "very apprehensive about organized crime." Jaffe added: "We'll try our darnedest but, in all probability, it will be impossible to keep the mob out." The IGB official blamed corrupt police and his own limited staff for the state's supposed inability to run a clean poker market.
The Illinois Coin Machine Operators Association, which lobbied for the Video Gaming Act, has consistently and strongly denied assertions that organized crime will be involved in legal video gaming.
After Jaffe said last week that operators who had been prosecuted or fined for running gray area machines would be barred from running legal VLTs, one prominent Illinois industry member told VENDING TIMES: "I have determined that anything with the IGB is ambiguous, arbitrary and overall, frustrating."
BENSENVILLE, IL -- Betson Midwest, a division of H. Betti Industries Inc., said it has entered into a distribution agreement with WMS Gaming Inc. The Video Gaming Act requires that all video gaming terminals be sold through authorized equipment distributors.
Betson Midwest's Todd Cravens said that having both the distributorship and WMS located in state provides a significant advantage for customers, enabling the suppliers to meet customers' needs quickly and efficiently.
Betson Midwest and WMS will host an open house on Jan. 19 and 20, from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on both days, at WMS's corporate headquarters at 800 South Northpoint Blvd., Waukegan, IL 60085. Each day will include a look at WMS' available gaming products, a plant tour, hardware demonstration, slot math and product strategy overview, financing opportunities and a market update. Interested operators can send an RSVP by Jan. 15 to Julie Kill at (630) 238-9400, ext. 6200, or email@example.com.
Separately, WMS announced this week that it will release fiscal 2010 second-quarter results after the market closes on Tuesday, Jan. 26. The company said that gaming operations continue to achieve solid performance and anticipate a rise in year-over-year revenue per day per participation machine and the average installed base in the December 2009 quarter. Revenue growth for fiscal 2010 is expected to reflect new market opportunities, further anticipated worldwide market share gains and the high level of customer interest for products unveiled at the G2E industry trade show in November.

Home / NEWS / OPEC picks new leaders and discusses global trends
OPEC picks new leaders and discusses global trendsby Arabian Oil & Gas Staff on Dec 13, 2012
At a recent conference in Vienna, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) elected HE Hani Abdulaziz Hussain, Minister of Oil of the State of Kuwait, as President of the Conference for one year and extended the tenure of HE Abdalla Salem El-Badri as Secretary General for a period of one year. Both terms will come into effect starting January 1, 2013.
The conference also reviewed the oil market outlook as presented by the Secretary General, in particular the projections for supply/demand in 2013. Price volatility was cited as a weakness throughout 2012, mostly a reflection of increased levels of speculation in the commodities markets, exacerbated by geopolitical tensions and laterally, exceptional weather conditions.
According to a statement by OPEC the biggest challenge facing global oil markets in 2013 is uncertainty surrounding the global economy, with the fragility of the Euro-zone remaining a major concern. The Conference further noted that, although world oil demand is forecast to increase slightly during the year 2013, this is likely to be more than offset by the projected increase in non-OPEC supply and that projected demand for OPEC crude in 2013 is expected to contract to 29.7 mb/d.
The conference has decided to maintain the current production level of 30.0 mb/d, and agreed that if necessary, member countries would take steps to ensure market balance and reasonable price levels for producers and consumers.
The Conference appointed Mr Yasser M. Mufti, Saudi Arabian Governor for OPEC, as Chairman of the Board of Governors for the year 2013, Dr Ali Obaid Al Yabhouni, the United Arab Emirates' Governor for OPEC, as Alternate Chairman and HE Dr Abdel Bari Ali Al-Arousi, Minister of Oil and Gas of Libya and Head of its Delegation, as Alternate President, for the same period with effect from 1 January 2013.

While you were sleeping: Yellen eases concern
April 1 (BusinessDesk) – Wall Street gained after Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen reassured investors that the central bank remained committed to bolstering the US jobs market, consumer spending, corporate investment and the nascent housing recovery.
"One reason why I believe it is appropriate for the Federal Reserve to continue to provide substantial help to the labour market, without adding to the risks of inflation, is because of the evidence I see that there remains considerable slack in the economy and the labour market," Yellen said in prepared remarks for a speech in Chicago, Illinois.
"I think this extraordinary commitment is still needed and will be for some time, and I believe that view is widely shared by my fellow policymakers at the Fed," Yellen said.
Yellen's comments eased concern sparked earlier this month when she suggested US interest rates might rise as early as the first half of 2015.
In afternoon trading in New York, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.82 percent, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.88 percent, while the Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 1.27 percent.
Shares of Walt Disney and Cisco led the gains in the Dow, up 1.3 percent and 1 percent respectively.
The latest clues on the US labour market will be offered in the form of the ADP employment report on Wednesday, followed by weekly jobless claims on Thursday, and the government's monthly employment report on Friday.
US Treasuries fell, pushing yields on 10-year bonds 4 basis points higher to 2.76 percent.
"Everyone expects the Fed to remain accommodative, even after the asset purchases (have ended), and Yellen's comments echo this sentiment," Larry Milstein, managing director in New York of government-debt trading at R.W. Pressprich & Co, told Bloomberg News. "The market is waiting for Friday's employment data to give us direction."
In Europe, the Stoxx 600 Index finished the session 0.2 percent higher from the previous close. Germany's DAX and the UK's FTSE 100 both closed 0.3 percent lower. France's CAC 40 shed 0.5 percent as the socialist government sought to revamp itself in the wake of heavy municipal election losses on the weekend.
German retail sales unexpectedly increased 1.3 percent in February, following a revised 1.7 percent gain in January.
Separately, inflation in the euro zone eased more than expected to 0.5 percent in March, according to an initial estimate by the European Union's statistics office. European Central Bank policy makers are set to gather this Thursday and are expected to keep interest rates steady at a record low.
"This will keep the possibility of further monetary policy easing very much alive," Nick Kounis, head of economic research at ABN AMRO in Amsterdam, told Reuters. "Nevertheless, the central bank has shown quite some tolerance for low inflation recently."

You know the kind of people I'm talking about – those who suddenly glaze over when the conversation diverts from them. Yes, it's annoying, and companies that are using a one way barrage of advertising and marketing to their potential customers in an attempt to sell, sell, sell are annoying too.
It's all me, me, me
Especially around the Christmas period, companies go all out to try and get noticed. But sending email after email effectively saying 'here are our products' and 'look how good we are,' is not a good way to do it. Okay, so you might receive some clicks and maybe sell a few products, but when it comes to building a brand that people will love and return to, there is a lot more work to be done.
Internet shoppers today are less likely to believe what a company is telling them, preferring to ask around and do their research before committing to a purchase; using review sites, comparison sites and other such sites to make a decision. Unless your brand is in a niche market, simply emailing your entire customer database a list of products and telling them how great your prices are is going to be unsuccessful in the long run. In the overcrowded environment of competing companies today, if you're still using this kind of 'push' advertising, there is probably someone already doing it better…
The answer is:
To talk WITH your customer base, not AT them and give them a reason to buy from you instead of a competitor. Every marketing campaign is a chance to connect with people and start building brand loyalty that leads to repeat, long lasting customers. With the explosion of social media, social platforms are going all out to ensure that brands can connect with their customers; Instagram just the other week launched its new 'Direct' feature, enabling brands to speak directly with members of the public. It's making it easier than ever before to listen to the views of the people who drive businesses – so use it to get to know your customers!
What works
The Top UK Ads of 2013 were announced the other week, the biggest and best brands have been fighting it out to produce the ad with the most views, shares and interactions. Interestingly, these winning adverts have virtually no association with their products, but undoubtedly have the strongest effect on the viewer and create a buzz, because they know their target audiences.
The Evian babies achieved 100 million views in 10 weeks and came out on top. The advert that divided public opinion (and my personal favourite), The Bear and the Hare from John Lewis, came in second, and Three's #danceponydance came in third. These brands have connected with their audiences emotionally and become memorable through being funny, cute and/or bizarre, with no pushy emails required.
The agency Clear and its Brand Desire study goes further to understand the consumer relationships with brands today. This year, Clear spoke to 20,517 people about 678 brands to form their conclusions and this research is ongoing.
"Brand Desire is an index made up of how users think, feel and act towards brands. The more a brand achieves recognition (think), proves emotion (feel) and motivates action (act) – the more desirable it is"
It's no real surprise who came out on top of this study. Apple has taken care of that sense of belonging that today's customers look for, as well as keeping up with innovation that portrays its energy and backing it up with a great product to complete the triangle. The same can be said for the majority of the top 20.
What's your point?
What I'm getting at with this is: If marketing is done right, there will be no need to ask or tell people to buy your products; they'll have a reason to anyway!
Google loves brands
So, you have a great brand, you're connected with your customers, you're being talked about in the right places, you have a website full of what your customers are looking for and you have valuable, interesting and educated content – it's good news!
If you're doing all of the above, the likelihood is your site is ranking well, because, simply, Google ranks brands that consumers love, not brands that love themselves. If you've been doing all the above for a prolonged period, and you haven't been affected by a Google algorithm update, you should have no problems! If you're not seeing improvements in your rankings, be sure to check for a manual action in Webmaster Tools.
Obviously, Google's primary goal is to rank sites according to their relevancy and usefulness for the searcher. The dreaded algorithms, Penguin and Panda (on the widest scale) are Google's way of differentiating the websites that do this, with the sites that don't – and whether we like it or not, it usually works! Loads of bad quality links are no longer going to allow you to rank. Google has figured out, that in many cases, sites were ranking well due to large volumes of links, not because they actually deserved to.
In practice
Working as an Account Manager at Branded3 puts me in a position where I am able to compare brands, the content they circulate, the way they connect with their customers and, over time, how this affects their rankings.
One of our retail clients which has had an amazing year in terms of rankings, traffic growth and online revenue, really have it down to a tee when it comes to the content its putting out there, both on and offline. Formerly a company that were very product-focused when it came to marketing; they have used their blog as well as other channels, to reach out to their target audience and involve them with the brand. Blog posts no longer have titles like 'Our new range' but 'The Ultimate Guide to..,' 'Styles to keep you warm,' 'Gift ideas for you.' and so on. The improvement is clear in terms of engagement and Average Time Spent on Page; blog posts that used to engage for about 18 seconds then users would bounce off are now given different, more engaging angles and keep readers interest in excess of 1.5 minutes on average!
This company in particular have also ramped up their transparency as a brand, allowing their customers to see what employees get up to in the office, when there are special events and informing them of recent awards and product launches, in a way that says 'here's what we've been up to' and not 'look how good we are' – all contributing to that feeling of belonging and giving their brand that real identity. This e-tailer's organic traffic has grown by 40% since this time last year and shows no signs of slowing.
I came across another illustration of the importance of speaking your customers' language and having the informational resources on site they are looking for looking through the analytics of a travel client. Although keyword data is now extremely limited due to 'Not Provided', both historical data and site search data can be of great use for content recommendations and knowing what questions your customers are asking.
This one specific query was about equipment that a holidaymaker would need for their trip;
"blue black and red skis and boots hire what's the difference"
This is related to the brand but by no means their main product offering, and because that information was available, this single visit resulted in around 25 minutes spent on site, 12 page views and 100% conversion rate with a transaction worth over £6,000. Being the authority and knowledge centre for your customers to find the information they need is certainly rewarding!

A great thread! More please....
Huh...what game is that from?
It was against Washington, last season
Just watched a local show called"THE FAN", and they showed a spot of the Vikes and Giants game where Gerald Allen reached around Will Beatty with both hands and sacked Eli by holding on to him and he couldn't even get down on the ground after picking up both feet. He just bear hugged them.
Wish I knew how to get it from my DVR to the Zone.
Greatest thread ever!

Max Berlinger, Esquire's style editor, explains the rather unusual choice.
"His mode of dressing really does reflect the mindset behind it," says Mark-Evan Blackman, assistant professor of menswear design at FIT [the Fashion Institute of Technology], of Pope Francis. "I remember when John Paul II was buried in those opulent bright red shoes. When the current pope was elected and chose not to wear the red shoes I thought that was very reflective of his approach to being a person functioning in a role."
Pope Francis has been big on symbolic gestures—paying his own bill at a hotel owned by the Church or washing the feet of inmates (two of whom were female) on Holy Thursday—and the black shoes and unadorned, simplistic regalia are just an outward acknowledgement of his progressive orthodoxy. "Pope Francis understands that menswear is meant to express the character of the man wearing the clothes," says Mary Lisa Gavenas, author of The Fairchild Encyclopedia of Menswear...
True, the opulent jewelry and fur-lined capes of yore have given way to humbler dress, and this break from aesthetic tradition says a lot of the man and what he hopes to achieve while doing his earthly duties.

Mets prospect collects five RBIs for second time in five FSL games
By Josh Jackson / MiLB.com | April 11, 2014 12:18 AM ET
In his 296 Minor League game, Mets prospect T.J. Rivera set a career high with five RBIs. Four games later, he matched it.
The 25-year-old second baseman went 4-for-6 with a double and a run scored Thursday to pace Class A Advanced St. Lucie to a 13-3 victory over Jupiter that featured a five-hit performance from Jairo Perez and the first Florida State League home run by No. 7 Mets prospect Brandon Nimmo.
"It seems like nights like tonight, every time you come up, there are runners in scoring position and there are always chances," St. Lucie manager Ryan Ellis said. "[Rivera] is the type of guy who knows the situation, and he knows what he's looking for. He's more goal-oriented than results-oriented, so he's looking to hit the ball hard."
The right-handed hitter, who plated five runs with a 3-for-4 performance that was a triple shy of the cycle on Opening Day, got St. Lucie's scoring started with a two-RBI double up the opposite-field line in the first inning.
"We jumped right on them in the first, and we just kept on attacking," Rivera said. "The swings looked really good all around. It's good to get a couple runs early and then keep adding on."
Despite his hot start to the year, Rivera, who signed with the Mets as a non-drafted free agent in 2011, entered Wednesday on an 0-for-8 skid. His first-inning double put that behind him, then he singled in another run in the second and two more in the fourth and fifth.
"It was nice to jump back in there after a couple 0-fors," he said. "Me and [Joel] Fuentes, the hitting coach, were working on a few things in the cage earlier, so I was glad to have it work out."
Ellis, who also managed Rivera in the Florida State League in 2013 and for half of 2012, doesn't see any difference in Rivera's attitude no matter how he's hitting.
"He's an even-keeled guy," the skipper said. "You can't tell whether he went 0-for-5 or 5-for-5. Part of what makes him a special player is his makeup. Every time through the lineup, he's focused on the task at hand.
"He continues doing what he's been doing the last few years he's been in the organization. He has a solid approach at the plate, and he has a really good idea where his zone is. He's also patient enough to get fastballs in that zone."
Ellis also praised Perez for his 5-for-6 game, in which the Venezuelan-born third baseman doubled twice and scored three runs.
"He had a really good night. He got a few fastballs a little up in the zone and he was able to be aggressive early," Ellis said. "He pulled two doubles down the left-field line, and he swung early when there were good fastballs. When there weren't, he worked himself into fastball counts."
Nimmo went yard and scored three times and he now sports a .516 on-base percentage.
"He looks very good. He's another guy, you look at his walks-to-strikeout ratio this early in the season, and you can tell he's already very comfortable at the plate," Ellis said. "He's been able to make some adjustments at the new level, and it's good to see a young player look so comfortable so early in the season."
Gabriel Ynoa, the Mets' No. 16 prospect, gave up a run on four hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings to earn the win. He's 2-0 with a 2.38 ERA.

The Gutierrez has nothing to do with Gunther. The Goths were left Gotland about the time of or before the birth of Messiah. The name simply means "Sons of Gotland". Gut ( from Got ) tierra (land) ez (son of). The refered themselves as Gotari, or Gutari, meaning the same thing.

Hello Fam!
Christian Gutierrez
I've been doing some research on this lately. Glad I came across this. I've heard several different things. Someone told me that there was an Armenian background and that the "Gutierrez" used to be the guards on the castle towers. ( in the quick online search I just did, nothing has come up ) some one else told me that the surname ending in "iz" or "ez" means "son of" which I found. He told me that I was Son of Goter. That sounded German to me and sure enough I'm seeing that in my research. I started asking who is Goter and found out, in German, Götter means gods. In particular I believe it's the gods of the Greek pantheon. looking forward to learning more. Hello to all my "primos" 😀

So, in my 39 years I've only met six Gutierrez, all in the military. I've never met my father's side of the family or that number would be higher. I've been told that it's a common name but not in my experiences. I did meet a Filipino woman in Qatar that told me it's a very common name in the Philippines. Kinda cool. I will saw from what information that I've come across about the lineage of our name, it's very well traveled.
Do any of u know if u have any realitives in iowa with last name gutierrez

Andrea Gutierez

SWINDON Town's players seemed in "good spirits" when they returned to training yesterday despite the nature of their defeat to Peterborough United, according to manager Mark Cooper.
The Robins boss gave his squad two days to rest, recuperate and collect their thoughts after they were dumped out of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on Monday night before gathering in the mud at Liddington on Thursday morning to prepare for the weekend trip to Leyton Orient in League One.
Cooper was pleased to see the players focused on the job at hand tomorrow and said the mental after-effects of the penalty shoot-out loss don't appear to be lasting.
"They seemed okay. Obviously there were the usual jokes with Massimo (Luongo) and Tijane (Reis) when we were doing a bit of shooting practice. We had to have some nets put behind the goal for Mass and Tijane," he said, referring to the penalties missed by the two players on Monday.
"That's football. You have to get on with it. We should have won the game and we should have gone through. I keep seeing the penalty decision and it's a remarkable decision that we don't get a penalty and they don't go down to 10 men.
"On fine details like that games and careers can change but we have to deal with that. The players were in good spirits this morning and we're thoroughly looking forward to going to Brisbane Road on Saturday."
Cooper stressed that Luongo and Reis have been well supported by their teammates in the days after defeat to Posh.
"It can be a place where they're welcomed into the group and the other boys will take the mick but they'll be getting round them, making sure okay and making sure they're ready for Saturday," he said.
"We have to try to use the disappointment as a tool to spur us on to bigger and better things - whether it's this year or next year we have to use that and look back on the disappointment and make sure we don't feel that again."
And as for the Swindon manager himself? Cooper admitted that it took time for him to accept the nature of his club's JPT exit but he made sure not to ponder over it too long.
"It took me a couple of days but I can't be seen as the one moping about, I have to be there to pick the players and the staff up," he said. "I've tried to do that, I've tried to be bright and breezy, be at the forefront, carry the flag and make sure the players know I'm happy with their effort the other night and we're good to go on Saturday."

Associated Press
8:22 AM PST, February 4, 2005
BAGHDAD, Iraq —
A new, partial tally of votes Friday from Iraq's landmark elections showed a Shiite coalition whose leaders have close ties to Iran rolling up a strong lead over other tickets, including that of interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi.
The United Iraqi Alliance, which has the endorsement of Iraq's top Shiite clerics, won more than two-thirds of the 3.3 million votes counted so far, the election commission said. Allawi's ticket was running second with more than 579,700 votes.
In new violence, gunmen kidnapped an Italian journalist in a hail of gunfire from a central Baghdad street where she had been conducting interviews. Two U.S. soldiers were killed and eight wounded by roadside bombs in northern Iraq, and an Iraqi contractor working with the American military was gunned down in a drive-by shooting Friday west of the capital.
The new election figures represented partial returns from 10 of Iraq's 18 provinces, said Hamdiyah al-Husseini, an election commission official. All 10 provinces have heavy Shiite populations, and the Alliance had been expected to run strong in those areas.
For example, the returns included the 15 percent of votes in Basra provinces counted and certified so far, and 80 percent tallied in the less densely populated Muthanna province. Votes from 35 percent of the more than 5,200 polling centers around the country have been counted, al-Husseini said.
No returns have been released from mainly Sunni provinces north and west of the capital. Sunni Arabs are believed to have stayed away from the polls in large numbers -- either out of fear of retaliation or anger at a vote held while U.S. troops are in the country.
That has sparked fears that the Sunni Arab minority will reject any government and constitution that emerge from the election, adding fuel to the mainly Sunni insurgency that has plagued Iraq since the fall of Saddam Hussein nearly two years ago.
Shiite Muslims, who make up 60 percent of Iraq's 26 million people, turned out in droves, seizing the opportunity to turn their majority status in Iraq into political power for the first time. The Alliance -- which was endorsed by the widely revered Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani -- has reaped the greatest benefit, even though Allawi is a secular Shiite.
The Alliance's leader, Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, and others among its top candidates spent years of exile in Iran, helping build a movement against Saddam and building ties with the regime there. Though many clerics are on the ticket, its officials have said they don't seek to impose Islamic law in Iraq.
The number of seats a political faction wins in the 275-member National Assembly will be based on the proportion of votes each faction receives. Around 14 million Iraqis were eligible to vote, although the turnout in Sunday's vote has not been announced. Around 265,000 Iraqis abroad also cast ballots in 14 countries.
Officials said partial counts showed the main Kurdish faction held the lead in the overseas vote, with 29 percent. Large Kurdish populations turned out in European nations, in particular, though the Alliance had a large vote from Iraqis living in Iran.
As the partial returns continue to be tallied in Baghdad, election officials also announced that they were investigating allegations of voting irregularities in Mosul and other areas. The complaints range from a shortage of ballots to polling stations that never opened because of the volatile security conditions.
Problems in Mosul could lead to an outcry from a variety of communities that they were squeezed out of the balloting: Mosul and surrounding Ninevah province have large Sunni Arab, Kurdish and Christian populations.
Insurgents are launching new attacks across the country and battling American and Iraqi security troops in scattered clashes following the easing of security measures that had been in place to guard last weekend's elections. At least 33 people have been killed in violence since Wednesday night.
In Baghdad, Giuliana Sgrena, a journalist for the Italian newspaper Il Manifesto, was kidnapped by gunmen who blocked her car near the Baghdad University compound, police said.
She had gone to the neighborhood to interview refugees from Fallujah and then went on to Friday prayer services at a nearby mosque, colleague Barbara Schiavulli, an Italian radio journalist, told The Associated Press.
Schiavulli said she received a call from Sgrena's cell phone when the kidnapping was apparently under way. "I couldn't hear anyone talking. ... I heard people shooting" and the sound of people splashing through the puddles left by a heavy overnight rain, Schiavulli said.
"I kept saying, 'Giuliana, Giuliana,' and no answer," Schiavulli said.
Repeated calls after to Sgrena's cell phone went unanswered, until a final call, when someone answered without speaking, then hung up, Schiavulli said. The missing woman's cell phone then went dead.
Sgrena's Iraqi translator and a security guard at the university said the kidnappers appeared to have been waiting for her, blocking her path with a car. University security guards opened fire at the kidnappers, who dragged Sgrena into a vehicle and sped away. An Italian diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said about eight kidnappers were involved in the assault.
Sgrena is at least the second Italian journalist kidnapped in Iraq, and at least the ninth Italian citizen seized in Iraq in recent months. Freelance Italian journalist Enzo Baldoni was abducted and killed in August.
More than 180 foreigners have been abducted in Iraq over the past year, many of them by insurgents trying to drive U.S. troops and foreigners working on reconstruction out of the country. At least 10 remain in the hands of their captors, more than 30 were killed and the rest were freed or escaped.
Meanwhile, in Mosul, a U.S. military Stryker combat vehicle rolled over several anti-tank mines Thursday, killing an American soldier and injuring another. Another U.S. soldier died Friday when a roadside bomb hit a patrol near Beiji, 155 miles north of Baghdad. Seven soldiers were wounded, the U.S. military said.
At least 1,443 American military personnel have died in Iraq since the war began in March 2003.
West of the capital on Friday, an Iraqi contractor was gunned down by assailants who pulled up next to his car on the dangerous desert highway running out to Baghdad International Airport. The man was in charge of a road construction project inside the airport complex that was contracted by the American military, said Iraqi police Lt. Akram al-Zoubaie.
Overnight in northern Baghdad, gunmen entered a Shiite mosque, ordered several guards to leave the building and then rigged it with explosives, area residents said. The blast blew a small hole in one wall of the Tawhid Mosque.

Rachel Beatty Riedl
Assistant Professor of Political Science
"Religious Organization and Political Party Interaction in Sub-Saharan Africa"
When and why do religious actors engage with political parties? In what varied ways do they pursue their political agendas vis-à-vis party competition, and to what effect?
These are some of the core questions that can govern cross-national analysis of political parties and religious groups, contributing to a broader analysis of identity politics and mobilization. Building from literature about the interaction of ethnicity and political party strategy and competition, this research assesses the demand and supply side of religious actors' contributions to political party organization and strategies for competition in new democracies across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The project demonstrates that religious organizations engage with political parties in ways that are not specific only to a particular religious denomination's ideology or internal hierarchy. Rather, religious groups react in similar ways in each national political context, as they respond to a given political opportunity structure. The research links to the literature on collective action to understand when and why religious communities use their resources—communications, materials, and beliefs—in pursuit of political goals.
Methodologically the paper draws from the author's newly constructed dataset of African newspapers reporting on religious activities and presents interview and survey data comparing religious interaction with political parties in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
Rachel Beatty Riedl is assistant professor of political science at Northwestern University. With research interests that include institutional development in new democracies, local governance and decentralization policy, and authoritarian regime legacies, her current research explores why democratization in Africa has produced such a varied array of representative institutions and political structures by focusing on the causes of variation in party system institutionalization.
A former visiting fellow at the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame and a post-doctoral research associate at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies, Riedl edited Bridging Disciplines, Spanning the Word: Approaches to Inequalities, Institutions, and Identities (Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies Monograph Series, 2006) with Sada Aksartova and Kirstine Mitchell.

3 physicians took me off work after I miscarried my twins. Before I could even push the festal matter out my manager called me at home and terminated me for being taken off work.Sorry, I am new to this site. Here is some more info. I found I was pregnant and was giving restrictions. I gave them to my manager who decided to put me in a transitional work program, which is what they call it when they try to accomadate employees with restrictions. Part of the programs is not being able to have occurances or be terminated for the condition you are in the program for. They call a representative over and all parties agree to the terms, manager included. My manager agreed and I double checked more than once about the termination clause. Each time the representative confirmed I could not be terminated for things related to my pregnancy. I saw three physicians who all felt it was safer for me to be off work until I finished miscarrying my twins. All of them gave me paperwork. Before I could turn in paper work from the 2nd and 3rd doctor my manager called me

Jane Lynch Vogues As "Glee"'s Sue Sylvester
I must admit, I only watched my first episode of "Glee" last night and was totally amused. But after catching this preview clip from next week's Madonna-themed episode, I might have to become a loyal viewer. Jane Lynch, who has wowed me in all the Christopher Guest movies and plays cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on "Glee," does "Vogue," dare I say it, almost as entertainingly as Madge herself.

Shelton KinderCare
Tel: (203)944-0104
In the Discovery Preschool classroom the children learned how to care for plants and flowers. They used their gross-motor skills and fine-motor skills to plant the seeds in the dirt, and water them.Then they used their imagination to 'watch' the flowers grow! Look how fast they grew in 1 day with some soil, water, sun and lots of IMAGINATION!!!
Our classrooms have all the areas for learning in all developmental domains. The science and sensory table promotes children to investigate the environment and experiment with a variety of materials. The children explore cause and effect, observation skills, measurement skills and problem solving strategies while in these learning centers.
In our center the teachers and children will create new, eduacational and fun learning environments based on the curriculum they will be learning about. This is one example of how they transformed their dramatic play into a pumpkin patch, while exploring pumpkins gords and so much more.
This is one of the enhancements for our dramatic play area. The children helped the teacher create a construction site during the tools and machines unit. The children used blocks, hammers, screw drivers, levels and so many more tools as they build different buildings, factories and structures. The children were arctitects, construction workers and used their imagination to be whatever they wanted to be! They used their hand-eye coordination, role paying skills, cooperation and problem-solving skills and gained knowledge of concepts such as area, height, weight and length while exploring cause and effect. Exploration is a leading form of learning here at KinderCare. Every activity, enhancement and toy has an educational purpose behind it. We would love to show you what your child will learn here!
In our classrooms we provide numerous materials to promote the development of all the children from 6 weeks old - 12 years old. This is a math mat from our preschool and prekindergarten classrooms. The child is doing an addition and subtraction activity. She is using counters and adding them together. This activity is helping her with number recognition, understanding quanties and the number it represents as well as practicing addition and subtration concepts.
The children were so excited to have a critter day! They learned all about animals, where they live and how to take care of them! One of the toddlers were so intrigued to see them!
While running and exercising outdoors, we offer various materials and opportunities for children to learn. This chld is practicing his fine motor skills, literacy and math skills with the use of chalk. Outdoor enhancement boxes are provided to promote learning outdoors. Some of the boxes include items for dance such as scarves and instruments. Creative expression with materials such as markers, paper, challk and even paint, and so much more. Our goal is to make every child have a passion for learning, especially through play.
- The teachers and staff members at Shelton KinderCare are very passionate and nurturing towards the children in their care.
- Most of our teachers have a Bachelor's Degree, Child Development Associate Credential or are pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education.
- Some of our teachers have been with our company for over ten years and our average staff tenure is five years.
- Our team participates in continuing education through monthly staff meetings and company professional development trainings.
- Our center strives from the amazing commitment and our teacher's outstanding personalities.

In partnership with the 2013 New York Comedy Festival, NYU Skirball presents the hysterical comedic renaissance woman, Maria Bamford!
"Meek-voiced Maria Bamford makes all other existentially dark comedians look like so many Carrot Tops."Rolling Stone
Maria Bamford was named one of Rolling Stone's 50 Funniest People of 2013 and was most recently praised for her role as Debrie Bardeaux on Netflix's Arrested Development reboot as "fantastic" (Entertainment Weekly) a "standout" (TIME) and "perhaps one of the
high points of the entire new season" (Black Book Magazine). Bamford is the creator and star of the critically praised Maria Bamford: the special special special!, which Vulture.com named one of its Top 10 Stand-Up Specials of 2012, and the cult hit web series The Maria Bamford Show, which screened at the Museum of Art and Design and was described as a "cold blast of brilliance" by The New Yorker.
NYU Skirball has a rich and hilarious history of our fall comedy headliners breaking out into international stardom, including Rob Delaney, Zach Galifianakis, Aziz Ansari, Kristen Schaal, and Reggie Watts. In partnership with the 2013 New York Comedy Festival we are proud to present the comedienne that Judd Apatow calls "hysterically funny!"
