Event Details
The crowdsourcing phenomenon has had many success stories in the entertainment industry in recent years, from Yair Landau's crowd-sourced animation project in 2008, to the phenomenal rise of Kickstarter for crowd funding. Now, crowdsourcing is being used by major brands to make marketing decisions; motivate feature film and t.v. audiences, and create dedicated distribution channels. This session will examine different angles of crowdsourcing.
Mark Mori, filmmaker (PGA East member), 'Bettie Page Reveals All'
Mark Mori has successfully crowd-sourced ideas, information, and funding for his Betty Page fan pic, 'Bettie Page Reveals All,' which is hitting the festival circuit in spring 2012. The film, after four years of crowdsourcing and social media production work, is a textbook example of the crowdsourcing phenomenon, leveraging Twitter, Facebook, live events, and fan engagement. Mark is a renowned documentary filmmaker, having received two Academy Award nominations for feature documentary films. He is a long-time member of PGA East.
Jose de Cabo, co-founder, Olapic
Jose de Cabo is the co-founder of the New York-based crowdsourcing platform Olapic, which enables brands and media companies to identify relevant users and pictures across different photo-sharing networks. The Olapic platforms helps increase engagement and traffic metrics on brand sites with the help of photo-sharing. Olapic clients include Mashable, New York Daily News, and the Chicago Tribune, among others. Jose was previously an international venture consultant. Based in New York City, he is a 2010 graduate of the Columbia Business School.
Lydia Dean Pilcher, filmmaker (PGA East member), 'The Sisterhood of Night'
One of New York's leading independent film producers, Lydia recently crowd-sourced funding for 'The Sisterhood of Night,' a modern retelling of the Salem witch trials, using Kickstarter. The 36-day funding period yielded $136,000 – well beyond the team's original $100,000 goal. Known for her producing work on such films as the Golden Globe-nominated 'You Don't Know Jack;' 'The Darjeeling Limited,' and 'The Talented Mr. Ripley,' as well as for her work with Mira Nair ('The Namesake;' 'Amelia'), Lydia demonstrates the power of teamwork in crowdsourcing funds and awareness for launching a film project. Lydia is an original member of PGA East, and has served on the PGA East executive committee.
Blaine Graboyes, co-founder, Mister Goldbanks Entertainment (PGA NMC East member)
Blaine Graboyes is a leading game producer and interactive designer who currently develops cross-platform experiences and social media campaigns for leading media and entertainment brands. He currently produces with his company Mister Goldbanks; the company's first Facebook game – 'Sneakytown' – debuts this quarter. He was previously a co-founder of the social firm Sano Agency, and was a founding member and executive producer of Worldwide Biggies, the transmedia studio founded by Albie Hecht. While with Comchoice, he produced interactive experiences for major networks and studios, including Nickelodeon, Paramount, New Line, and Warner Bros. Blaine was a founder and executive producer of Zuma Digital, the first DVD authoring company in New York. He leads the PGA New Media Council in the Philadelphia chapter, and was recently nominated as a member-at-large for the executive committee of PGA East.

Milaca, in its 10th trip to the Class AA State Team Wrestling Tournament, won the consolation title.
The Wolves lost to top-ranked and eventual Class AA champion Simley 44-17 in the first round Thursday morning. Simley then topped Kasson-Mantorville 47-20 in the semifinals and Scott West 36-22 in the finals to win its fifth-straight A state title.
Milaca bounced back in the consolation semifinals and stopped Perham 32-26.
The Wolves then topped Monticello 35-34 Thursday night to win consolation honors.
Senior heavyweight Jordan Ahner gave Milaca the win with a 17-9 major decision over Monticello's Brent Riddle. The Magic led 34-31 heading into the match and Ahner needed to win by eight points or more to pick up four team points.
It was Randy Zimmer's final dual as Milaca coach and he was elated to end his 24th season as coach with two victories and the consolation title.
"We wrestled well and with a lot of determination," said Zimmer. "Our kids didn't back down, everyone gave it all they had."
The Class AA Individual Tournament is today (Friday) and Saturday.
Foley topped Kasson-Mantorville 32-22 to win third place.

We report on investigation the potential of a 7 wt% (8.35 × 1020 Tm3+/cm3) doped silicate fibers for high-gain fiber amplifiers. Such a high ion concentration significantly reduces the required fiber length of high-power 2 μm fiber laser systems and allows the high-repetition rate operation in 2 μm mode-locked fiber lasers. To evaluate the feasibility of extracting high gain-per-unit-length from this gain medium, we measure several key material properties of the silicate fiber, including the absorption/emission cross-sections, upper-state lifetime, fiber background loss, and photodarkening resistance. We show through numerical simulations that a signal gain-per-unit-length of 3.78 dB/cm at 1950 nm can be achieved in a watt-level core-pumped Tm3+-doped silicate fiber amplifier. In addition, an 18-dB 2013-nm amplifier is demonstrated in a 50-cm 7 wt% Tm3+-doped double-clad silicate fiber. Finally, we experimentally confirm that the reported silicate host exhibits no observable photodarkening.
Ultrafast laser sources in the 2-μm eye-safe region are of interest for many applications, such as frequency comb metrology, environmental sensing, eye-safe LIDAR, space communication, medical surgery, particle accelerators, and light sources for efficient mid-IR generation. To produce 2-μm laser emission in fibers, Tm3+ is a favorable ion because it offers high quantum efficiency, broad gain bandwidth, and strong absorption band around 800 nm, the wavelength available from commercial high-power diode lasers. Through the "two-for-one" cross-relaxation energy transfer, more than 70% slope efficiency has been reported in a 790-nm pumped Tm3+-doped fiber laser [
Fabricating highly Tm3+-doped fibers has been an active subject in the field of 2-µm fiber lasers. Several glass hosts, such as germanate, tellurite, and silicate, have been intensely studied. In 2007, Wu
The first cw and Q-switched Tm3+-doped silicate fiber lasers were successfully built by Geng
The preforms of the Tm3+-doped used in this paper were made of alkaline-earth silicate glasses. The glass included SiO2, A12O3, BaO, ZnO, and La2O3. Al2O3 was added to ensure high mechanical strength and good chemical durability. Transition metals such as Fe and Cu, as well as and alkali ions, were eliminated to further enhance the glass properties.

The silicate fiber was manufactured at Advalue Photonics by the rod-in-tube technique. This technology is commonly used for producing fibers made of multi-component glasses such as fluorozirconate and silicate-based fibers with multi-component glass core compositions. The main reason is that some of the chemicals required to fabricate silicate fibers cannot be volatilized. A core glass rod and two cladding tubes were fabricated and assembled to form the fiber preform. The core rod was cored out of a larger bulk sample with a diamond-embedded core drill, and subsequently polished. Both the inside and outside surfaces of the glass tubes for the inner and outer claddings were polished to a high surface quality. The inside diameter of the inner-cladding tube was matched to the diameter of the core rod, and the inside diameter of the outer-cladding tube is matched to the outer diameter of the inner-cladding tube. Both core and cladding glasses were carefully prepared to ensure that their chemical and thermo-mechanical characteristics are compatible, especially their softening temperature and thermal expansion coefficient. The fiber was drawn in a special furnace optimized for non-silica glasses. One important advantage of fabricating double-clad fibers by using the rod-in-tube method is that one can control the refractive indices of the fiber core and inner-cladding glasses precisely and independently.
The propagation loss was measured using the cut-back method in a 150-cm-long silicate fiber doped with 7 wt% of Tm2O3. A 250-mW, 976-nm probe laser was coupled into the fiber core under fixed launching conditions, and the residual output power was repeatedly measured after gradually cutting back the fiber sample. The wavelength of the probe laser was chosen to be outside of the Tm3+ absorption band. The propagation loss and a lunched laser power were inferred from an exponential fit to the measured residual power as a function of the fiber length. The measured propagation loss was 0.7 dB/m.
The glass host composition affects the solubility of the rare-earth dopant which, in turn, may affect the fluorescence lifetime, absorption, emission, and excited-state absorption cross-sections of the dopant transitions. To obtain a reliable theoretical prediction of the performance of the silicate fiber laser sources, we need to know the spectroscopic properties accurately, especially the emission and absorption cross-sections. These properties were measured in bulk silicate glass samples with the same chemical composition and Tm3+-concentration as the Tm3+-doped silicate fiber core.
The absorption cross-sections were obtained from the measured white-light absorption spectrum of the sample. The spectral shape of the emission was obtained from the measured fluorescence spectrum of a thin silicate glass plate, pumped at 793 nm near one of its edges. The emitted fluorescence was collected from the thin side of the sample. Possible re-absorption of the signal, which might have distorted the measured fluorescence spectrum, was avoided by keeping the sample thin enough.
Measured absorption and emission cross-section spectra of the Tm3+-doped silicate fiber.
The fluorescence lifetime of the 7-wt% Tm3+-doped silicate glass was measured to be 0.635 ms. This value is similar to the Tm3+ lifetime in low Tm3+-doped silicate glass fibers. The measured fluorescence relaxation curve showed a single exponential decay, thus demonstrating negligible concentration quenching in spite of the high Tm3+ concentrations.
Various theoretical models of rare-earth-ion doped fiber laser sources have been presented. The simulation code employed in this paper is LIEKKI™ Application Designer v4.0 [
We firstly used the code to predict forward and backward ASE output performance of the 7 wt% Tm3+-doped silicate fiber, and compare the simulation results of the 1.25 wt% Tm-doped silica fibers, which is reported in [
The forward and backward Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) intensity spectra of a 5-cm 9/125 Tm3+-doped silicate fiber, core pumped by a 900-mW 1575-nm laser.
To evaluate the highest gain per unit length from a single-mode Tm3+-doped silicate fiber, we used the code to compare the predicted performance of two heavily Tm3+-doped fiber master-oscillator power amplifiers (MOPAs), one made with a 7 wt% Tm3+-doped silicate fiber and the other one with a 4 wt% Tm3+-doped silica fiber. For a fair comparison, two amplifiers had exactly the same fiber structure, and they were seeded and pumped exactly the same way. Both fibers were taken to have a single-mode core diameter of 10 μm and an inner-cladding diameter of 125 μm. To reflect actual differences between the two types of fibers, namely their propagation loss, upper-state lifetime, and Tm3+ concentration, each of these three parameters was given its actual measured value. For the silica fiber, we used the best current values reported for commercial fibers,

Measured normalized transmission of the silicate fiber at 976 nm as a function of pump exposure time.
In this paper, we present the first study of a single-mode 7 wt% Tm3+-doped silicate fiber for high-gain fiber amplifiers. To the best of our knowledge, 7 wt% is the record high Tm3+ ion concentration in fibers. Such a high ion concentration could be beneficial for ultra-short 2-μm fiber amplifiers and high-repetition-rate 2-μm mode-locked fiber lasers. The studied essential material properties include absorption/emission cross-sections, upper-state lifetime, fiber background loss, and photodarkening resistance. These results allow us to precisely evaluate the potential of the silicate fiber for high-gain fiber amplifiers. Our simulation results indicate that a signal gain-per-unit-length of 3.78 dB/cm can be reached in a watt-level core-pumped Tm3+-doped silicate fiber amplifier. As a step in this direction, we report a 2013-nm fiber MOPA with the 7 wt% Tm3+-doped double-clad fiber. A 2013-nm signal gain of 18 dB was achieved in a 50-cm gain fiber with the limitation of the available pump power. We also present experimental evidence that, even under intense core pumping, silicate fibers can support high Tm3+ doping levels without the onset of photodarkening. Both results put the heavily Tm3+-doped silicate fibers at an advantage for high-gain fiber amplifiers.
This research is based upon work supported by NSC-101-2218-E-027-003-MY3, Taiwan.

While the current political cycle has sharpened our focus on the role of religion in the public square, we often fail to reflect on the role of the public square upon religion. Increasingly, when Christians engage others in public forums, we do so using tools that we did not develop. Whether through movies, music, or new media, we tend to start with a pre-existing cultural forms and incorporate the Gospel as best we can.
As communication theorist Marshall McLuhan argued, the tools we use to communicate a message can shape that message in ways we may or may not intend.* If this is true then Christians have a duty to critically evaluate the effect of our media choices on our message. Do our choices of media forms allow the message to remain Christian? Or are the tools with which we communicate at odds with the message of the Gospel?
In order to explore the issue in greater depth, I've decided to make it the topic of the 2008 EO Symposium, sponsored this year by Wheatstone Academy.
Responses to the following question will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. EST on Friday, April 25th:
If the medium affects the message, how will the Christian message be affected by the new media?
The top five posts chosen by our panel of judges (James Kushiner from Touchstone magazine's Mere Comments, Melinda Penner from Stand to Reason, Matt Lewis from Townhall.com, and Matthew Anderson from Mere Orthodoxy) will receive:
(1) A full tuition scholarship for a Christian high school student of the winner's choice to Wheatstone Academy. [A $950 value]
(2) The 'Quintessentials' from Stand to Reason, including the Ambassador Basic Curriculum, Tactics in Defending the Faith DVD, Decision Making and the Will of God CD set, and a signed copy of Greg Koukl's new book Relativism: Feet Firmly Planted in Mid-Air. [A $150 value]
(3) A $200 donation made to Compassion International in the name of the winning blogger.
(4) A full-tuition scholarship to the upcoming GodBlogCon (September 2008). [A $150 value]
(5) A two-year subscription to Touchstone Magazine. [A $59.95 value]
(6) A year subscription to Townhall magazine. [A $34.95 value]
The first place winner will have their choice of items with the second place deciding between the remaining four items, etc. The sixth place winner will will automatically receive the unselected item.
Those who choose only to write a brief comment promoting the Symposium are still eligible to receive a prize for participating. Anyone who includes a link to this post and a brief comment will be entered into a separate drawing for one of three copies of The New Media Frontier, forthcoming from Crossway Books.
To include your post in the symposium, send the following information to email@example.com:
- Name
- Name and URL of blog or website
- Title and URL of post
- Brief summary
Finally, I am grateful to those sponsors who have generously given time and money to make this year's Symposium a reality, especially Wheatstone Academy, a discussion-based summer conference that seeks to instill a love of learning and dialogue in Christian high school students.

Blogging is the new texting!
The Philippines is the perfect case study for industry surprises. Remember, back in the early 2000's when texting became popular? Sooner or later the Philippines became known to the world as the texting capital - and it was no joke that Filipinos in the telco industry were granted expatriation elsewhere because they had the experiences of an industry that was five years ahead of everyone else.
Today, another industry surprise is taking place, not in the airwaves of telco towers and mobile phones, but on the Internet: Blogs are big in the Philippines. Not only are they big - but the Philippines is a world leader in the blogging industry.
According to a Universal McCann study on new media adoption, the Philippines has had the highest growth rate in blogging engagements in a span of only 3 years. What's interesting to note is that the Philippines has exceeded the global average for blog readership (72.8% in 2008) during this time, growing from 33% in September 2006 to 64% in June 2007 and 90.3% in May 2008.
Since 2005, the Philippine "blogosphere" has been active in promoting new careers in professional blogging, which is making a living through blogs, in the same way that writers and editors have professional jobs in the publishing industry. Since then, the blogging community has taken their online connections a step further into the real world, forming real communities of varied demographics. Since then, dozens of blog related events have sprouted. In the Philippines, there is at least one blog related event per week.
The Philippine Blog Awards was formed in 2007 in celebration of the Philippines as a leader in the blogging industry. The Philippine Blog Awards aims to recognize notable blogs in the Philippines based on content, community and design. The awards, similar to last year, will be judged by representatives from mainstream press, online media practitioners, and crossover media specialists.
The Philippine Blog Awards is the country's largest aggregation of Filipino bloggers. It is a non-stock, non-profit organization that is currently on its second year of awarding. In the previous year, Philippine Blog Awards gave away 15 awards for different categories. This year, the Philippine Blog Awards is giving away 36 awards, under 3 divisions and 15 categories. Since the start of nominations in Q2 2008, there have been over 600 nominations that total no less than 4.5 million
pageviews per month in online traffic. Apart from giving away more awards, the Philippine Blog Awards is also going to recognize notable online advocacy campaigns started by Filipinos.
There are over 3.7 million Filipinos who are actively engaged in online activities, and 90.3% are blog readers.
On September 21 2008, the Philippines will make its voice heard at One Esplanade to celebrate the second Philippine Blog Awards. Since the event recognizes the online efforts of Filipino bloggers in all parts of the globe, there will be a live stream and live blogging sponsored by SMART Bro, allowing Filipinos from all parts of the world to watch.

1 Bone in Boston Butt piece from Heritage Foods USA
In blender-
2 limes (whole) cut into quarters
Juice from 2 limes
1 small White Onion
5 Garlic Cloves
1 whole Jalepeno
2 cups fresh Parsley (stems and leaves)
1 cup Fresh Thyme (stems and leaves)
1 cup Fresh Cilantro (stems and leaves) optional
3 fresh Bay Leaves
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
Salt and pepper
This is a two day process:
- Add everything into a blender except the oil, begin on slow speed.
- Once everything is combined add oil slowly.
- You'll end up with a green shake! Pour this onto the pork butt rubbing it everywhere. Let marinade overnight.
- Next day salt and pepper the butt aggressively, put into a casserole pan deep enough to cover the meat at least half way. Cover with aluminum foil and slow roast on 275 degrees for 10 to 12 hours.
- Meat should fall apart when touched, check the meat closest to the bone, if it doesn't come away from the bone easily it should cook another hour.
(serve with side of rice and beans, in tacos, or burritos)

1. I have given up on Claire who has all of the political instincts of Warren Hearnes.
She has alienated EVERY Democrat I know. My guess she will get some "Yellow Dog" votes will bring that out in me. I voted for one Republican in 42 years John Danforth because I despised Warren Hearnes and McCaskill comes really close.

What exactly has Claire done that has made you not want to support her?
Missouri is not exactly New York or Maryland. It's a very conservative state.

Claire's race will be very, very close and with ads like that she could lose.
She really has to step up her campaign and the quality of her ads.

6. The news has Todd Akin as McCaskill's opponent.
Then went on to say Akin was very conservative. THEN, they went on to say Clare was to the Right of Akin on something. I missed what because I'm used to North Dakota politics and was trying to digest what I was hearing. It wasn't really making sense. But then even though ND is a red state, most people there at least have a reference to reality. What the hell is wrong with the people of Missouri, electing people like these down here? Missouri has many times the population to choose from.
From an E-mail I received whole writing this:
During the Republican primary, Akin made statement after statement that showed just how out of touch he is with working-class Missouri families. Here are a few of the most shocking:
He compared federal student loans to "Stage III cancer"
He didn't know what the federal minimum wage was, and wants to get rid of it altogether
He wants to hand Social Security over to Wall Street
He wants to privatize Medicare
He wants to preserve taxpayer subsidies for big oil and gas companies
Does that sound like someone you want in the U.S. Senate?
And Clare has some views to the right of someone like this?

They wrote: "There are two sides to every delinquent loan – a lender who made a bad lending decision and a borrower who cannot repay. Yet banks have never acted as if they bear any responsibility for the mortgage mess." The harsh reality is banks take little to no responsibility for the fraud-closure mortgage nightmare.
According to The New York Times editorial, the Federal Reserve has proposed a rule that would disable one of the more effective legal tools that borrowers have to fight foreclosures.
The Truth in Lending Act from 1968 gives borrowers the "right of rescission," the ability to undo a home refinancing or home equity loan within three years of the closing if the lender did not make proper disclosures. The Fed's proposal would change all that.
But the bigger question is why would the Fed even get involved with this hot potato? Isn't the Fed a non-partisan – above the politics – holier-than-thou institution that keeps the economy humming and rocking? Aren't they the ones with the ability to print money and inject it into the economy as they have the ability to suck money out of circulation when things get too heated? Aren't they the ones that paid 100 cents on the dollar for underwater virtually worthless sub-prime mortgage bonds under the ruse that the funds paid for the bonds was the fastest way to get money into the economy?

Zooey Magazine: I hear you got into Stanford! That's incredible, congratulations! Jacqueline Emerson: Thank you! I'm really excited.
ZM: Are you going to go? JE: I'm definitely going to go. I'm either going to go next year or the year after, just because everything is kind of taking off right now so I'm thinking about deferring. But, I'm very excited because that was my first choice. I went in for Early Action, and I got in. So, I had to email all the other colleges and was like, "Sorry!"
ZM: So tell us, what does a day in the life of Jacqueline look like? JE: Well, every day I go to school. I'm a senior. I'm a singer/songwriter. I just released my second music video called "Catch me if you can".
I love playing piano and hanging out with my friends. I am obsessed with Disney movies. Tangled. Enchanted. I have always wanted to be Giselle from Enchanted, because I want my life to be a musical. I'm in drama ensemble. So this entire quarter I've been going to rehearsal every day after school for my school play. However, I am not acting in it because I had to miss the first week of shows for press tours. But, I'm assistant-directing it. So that's been a great experience.
Recently I've gotten to do some pretty cool events and meet people that I have always looked up to. That's been amazing.
I'm definitely a family person. I'm like the only teenager in the world who doesn't want to leave their family. My parents are my best friends. My sisters are my best friends. I love my family so much.
ZM: So, when you go to Stanford are you moving out by yourself? JE: Well, yeah. But the good thing is, is that it's only a half an hour plane flight away. It's not like I'm going to New York or somewhere as far as that.
ZM: Do you have a bucket list? And if so, what is on it? JE: I would LOVE to work with [Martin] Scorsese, at any point in my life. I just love his work so much. Other than that, everything is pretty much just acting and singing related. I want to perform on the Staples Center stage. The only concerts I've ever been to, have been there. It's always been that pinnacle for me. Also, I have to be on the Ellen Show. That is definitely on my bucket list. I love her show, it's my favorite.
ZM: After this huge movie comes out (The Hunger Games), what's next for you? JE: I'm hopefully going to be going back into the studio and recording some more music. I wasn't able to go on any more auditions first semester, because I was applying to colleges. But, I just signed with a new manager, so I plan on going on more auditions. So, hopefully I'll have a new project pretty soon.
ZM: Which did you fall in love with first? Was it music or was it acting? JE: It was literally exactly the same time for both. Because the first thing I ever did in either of them was the musical Annie, when I was six years old. That's when I fell in love with both singing and acting. After that I started going to musical theater acting camp over the summer. I really just fully immersed myself in it.
ZM: Do you have a preference, if you had to choose just one? JE: No, actually I love them both pretty equally. I feel very fortunate that at the moment I'm in a position to come into the industry with both on my plate and I'm not going to be pressured into one or the other.
ZM: So, your "Catch Me if You Can" video just dropped, how has that been so far? JE: I'm just really excited. I'm happy that it's been so well received by everybody. It is also a different sound from my last video, so that's cool to show that I can be sort of diverse. Hopefully I can get back in the studio to start working towards [an album].
The first music video I released in November is called "Peter Pan." It's a song about how everyone in society kind of grows up too fast nowadays, so it's about loving being a kid. Accepting your inner-child. And that's more of an acoustic-ish song. "Catch me if you can" is the one that I just released. It has some of my friends, so you might recognize them. It is a lot more upbeat of a song, and it's more of a pop song than the other.
ZM: Did you write the songs? Yeah, I did actually. Well, I fully wrote "Peter Pan" and I co-wrote "Catch me if you can."
ZM: So when you do decide to go to Stanford, are you going to take a break from everything or continue working? JE: No, that's the great thing about Stanford, that it is only a half an hour long flight. So, I can easily fly back down for auditions and stuff if I make it so I have Thursdays and Fridays free from school. I can still take auditions and I can still take off semesters here and there if I need to film, or to work on my music or something.
Education is very important to me, it is a top priority. No matter what, I'm definitely going to go to Stanford. It might take me a lot longer to finish school than it does other people, but I'm still going to go.
ZM: That is definitely admirable. Do you have a favorite quote that you also happen to live by? JE: Walk your own path and leave a trail. I love that one. Everyone is on their own journey and you shouldn't compare yourself to anybody else. You're an individual. You're your own person. And you're doing something different than everyone else. You're on your own journey.
I also love "Be yourself," which is so cheesy but I think it is very, very important. It's hard now, with all the bullying that goes on. I think that is something that people need to learn to accept.
ZM: Speaking of bullying… being in high school and doing this huge movie, have people started to treat you differently? JE: Not really. I mean, I don't really get treated that differently. It's cool because the Hunger Games was the "all-school read," so everybody at my school read it. So everyone kind of knows what's going on. But, my friends especially have just been so supportive, and just really great. I'm just happy that I have such great friends.
ZM: For a little change of pace, now, how would you describe your personal style? What you feel most comfortable in, or most beautiful in? JE: Comfortable: sweatpants. I have a really great pair of Juicy pants that I wear around my house constantly. I just love them, I love lounging around in them.
For going out, I think it's important to have a really great pair of jeans that you love and you feel really comfortable in. everybody has a different pair of jeans that they love. I didn't have one for the longest time, and I hated jeans. And then I got one over the summer that just fit me so well. They are Seven jeans, so now I'm like, okay! Jeans rock!
I love wearing dresses. I love sun dresses, party dresses. That's why going to these events is so fun, I get to wear all these dresses. I also love a good pair of boots. Any boots, as long as they are comfortable. They don't even have to have a heel.

Reports of Wednesday night's Fort Hood shooting that left four dead and 16 wounded garnered mixed reactions from local residents, but it was a situation, some said, that brought up questions about the way the U.S. deals with mental health issues.
"When there's a shooting, whether it's someone who goes in a theater and starts shooting people or goes in a high school, (people) always tend to look at the guns,"
said retired Lt. Gen. Dave Palmer, a Belton resident and former brigade commander at Fort Hood. "But it's usually always a mental problem."
Palmer said Fort Hood remains a safe place, especially when its crime rate is compared to cities of similar size.
Former Maj. Nidal Hasan's 2009 shooting spree was unusual, Palmer said, and he hoped the media would not sensationalize this recent event.
"If the news media could do some good, it would be to shine a bright flashlight, a search light, on how we handle people with mental, medical psychiatric problems in our society," he said.
At Under the Hood Cafe in downtown Killeen on Thursday, Malachi Muncy said he was concerned with the mental health issue that was unfolding, too. The cafe is a veteran-led outreach center that provides "GI" rights education to soldiers and their families as well as wellness programs.
Muncy said the debate surrounding mental health care — if coverage and services have improved for troops or the public, if there is effective treatments available — should be put aside.
"It's clear whatever's been done, there needs to be more. ... It should constantly be re-evaluated because it's clear that there have been shortcomings," he said.
The other side of the issue is the increasingly negative rhetoric surrounding combat veterans or soldiers with mental health issues who manage their conditions successfully, he said.
"I read stories about veterans not being able to find employment because employers view them as a loose cannon," Muncy said.
Killeen resident Bobby Krei is a combat veteran of the war in Iraq and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. He is currently part of a study called Operation Valor run by the Department of Veterans Affairs to try and address the problem.
Even with the study, however, Krei said he did not think researchers would make enough progress.
"In this current war, we've had way more survival rates, but there comes a back side to that: there's amputations, pain and PTSD that soldiers have to deal with for the rest of their lives," he said.
After hearing Fort Hood shooter Spc. Ivan Lopez was an Iraq War veteran and was going through the diagnosis process for PTSD, Krei said his heart went out to the families of shooting victims.
"They suffered a trauma that they have to deal with the rest of their lives," he said. "It's almost like it's causing a continual cycle."
Community concern
Harker Heights Mayor Rob Robinson and Killeen Mayor Dan Corbin said both cities are concerned about their residents, many of whom are actively involved in the military at Fort Hood.
"I think we are reacting the same way we reacted in 2009, with the Luby's shooting and when any soldier dies in combat," Corbin said. "We reach out, we offer our condolences and we pray for families. That's what our community is all about."
Robinson said Harker Heights stands ready to assist Fort Hood or address any need requested.
Copperas Cove Mayor John Hull could not be reached for comment.
A community prayer vigil will be at 7 p.m. today at New Hope Seventh-day Adventist Church in Killeen in support of soldiers and families. Professional counselors will be available upon request.

text: Does any one know if my wood stove can burn coal. The only name on it is "The Furance Works" US Patent 4127107. It is a round boiler with the water all around and no water on back or front. There is no grate or plateform for one. The air intake is controlled by an aquastat thermostat to a 24 volt motorized damper that is either wide open or closed. I was thinking of placing a firebrick wall in the back and picking up a fine mesh grate. Short enough so I can get to the ash.

Dre Kirkpatrick ... come on down ... Jerry is gonna love you.
Cleveland giving up on Colt already?
Tampa bay giving up on Blount even though he was quietly one of the best RB in the league last year?
Those two jumped out at me as reaches. I know everyone is high on DeCastro now but I want no part of a G in the first round, especially if it's going to be addressed in FA.
God help the AFC if Pitts or Balt get Burfict. A lot of teams will be regretting passing on him if he goes to one of those teams.
Burfict will probably be there ... a lot of people think hes a headcase and will drop accordingly. Suggs and him on the same defense really would be scary.

Titanic SUPER 3D Parody [VIDEO]
Honestly, this is the FIRST VIDEO parody made about a movie that I have ever seen. Lately, a lot of movies that were made in the past are coming back into theaters as 3D features. With that being said, SOME shows should never be made in 3D, which is why I'm glad this came out!Keep in mind I'm not taking anything away from the Titanic, because it was a horrible event that happened in our history. Sometimes I believe certain movies shouldn't be tampered with and just be left as classics. If you have a light heart and a good sense of humor…I think you will like this one.
P.S. The 'Star Wars' part is my favorite! What's yours?

(CNSNews.com) - A freshman Republican congressman from Texas believes Canadian, Mexican and Caribbean visitors to the United States should be required to present a passport before they are allowed into the country, just as visitors from all other countries do.
Rep. Ted Poe said it is a "human impossibility" for border control agents to check the thousands of documents currently accepted as valid identification from those three locations.
"Right now anyone arriving from Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean Islands can get in based on one of 8,000 documents," Poe told Cybercast News Service. "They could include everything from baptismal certificates and birth certificates."
In the absence of "universal documentation," such as a passport, Poe is convinced that border agents are being asked to perform an impractical task at lawful entry points.
"The average border patrol agent takes about 22 seconds to determine whether or not someone is lawfully entering the U.S.," Poe said. "Sometimes they ask for paperwork, and sometimes they don't."
Poe noted that the 9/11 Commission called for mandatory passport usage by visitors from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean islands.
"For political reasons, this recommendation was not implemented," Poe said. "The Canadian government was very opposed."
A bill Poe previously introduced to force implementation of that recommendation was defeated, but he is making another attempt in the form of Passport for All Act (HR 4120), which is awaiting consideration by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims.
ID requirement would help curb illegal hiring
Poe also told Cybercast News Service that the absence of verifiable identification creates enormous challenges for employers who are earnestly trying to verify the legality of potential workers. He believes a passport system, coupled with visas, would help.
At the same time, Poe added, such a system would more effectively deter employers that willingly hire illegal aliens.
"Simply fining these businesses hasn't had much of an effect," Poe noted. "We need to make the consequences so severe that employers are not willing to take the chance."
Enforcement of laws against hiring illegal aliens fell off dramatically through much of the 1990s and into the early part of the 21st century, according to research made available by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a group that supports stricter enforcement of immigration laws.
Jack Martin, special projects director for FAIR, said, for example, there were 1,492 instances of federal immigration officials investigating employers for workplace compliance in 1992. That number compares to just three such investigations in 2003.
Officials from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acknowledge that previous efforts by the now defunct Immigration and Naturalization Service did not keep pace with the size and scope of worksite infractions. But, they also point to new initiatives that are aggressively targeting employers who flout immigration laws.
"The administrative fine process was not a deterrent to unscrupulous employers," said Jamie Zuieback, a spokeswoman for ICE. "Many businesses came to view these fines as the cost of doing business."
Since 2004, enforcement efforts have been characterized by expanded investigations and greater criminal sanctions, according to ICE, the largest investigative branch of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
There were 465 investigations of worksites suspected of harboring illegal aliens in Fiscal Year (FY) 2004. Those cases yielded 160 criminal arrests, 67 indictments and 46 convictions. In addition to the immigration charges, employers are also being investigated for money laundering, which can bring felony charges.
Statistics for FY 2005 show that ICE investigations continue to gain momentum. There were 511 worksite probes that produced 176 arrests, 140 indictments and 127 convictions.
Investigators are also using a variety of new tools and resources to discourage employers from illegal hiring. ICE's Fraudulent Document Laboratory (FDL) can provide state authorities with "real time evaluation" of identification documents. The FDL is now performing thousands of forensic examinations a year.
Information made available through ICE shows more than 100 "document intelligence alerts" were produced in FY 2004. These alerts are provided to local law enforcement officials in the form of color photo bulletins, which can be compared to potentially fraudulent identification documents presented to employers.
Bill would create employee eligibility hotline
Legislation that has already passed the House of Representatives would provide for a new employment eligibility verification system administered through DHS. Poe is a supporter and co-sponsor of the Border Protection, Antiterrorism and Illegal Immigration Control Act (H.R. 4437), which would establish a toll-free, telephone-based system for employers to confirm applicants' work eligibility through DHS. The objective would be for DHS officials to either confirm or give a "tentative non-confirmation" within three working days of an initial inquiry.
The bill passed the House by a vote of 239 to 182. It was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee in January 2006. That committee has taken no action on the bill.

3D manipulation with gamepad in V6
I have bought myself a Logitech Dual Action gamepad as recommended in
tutorial/IntroductionToManipulate, and I am very pleased with how flexibly
it allows me to control Manipulate. This will make manipulation much easier.
Out of curiosity I tried using the gamepad to manipulate a plain 3D graphic,
where normally you would use the l.h. mouse button (optionally with Ctrl or
Shift) to rotate/zoom/translate the graphic. I found that I could rotate the
graphic by using the l.h. gamepad joystick, but I couldn't find any way to
zoom or translate the graphic using the gamepad. Does anybody know how to do
this, or it is not implemented?

TOP STORY >> Junior high to become campus of 25 trailers
Leader staff writer
Finding out the fire that destroyed Cabot Junior High North Thursday was accidental, started by a malfunction inside a fluorscent bulb that caught the ceiling on fire inside a media center storage closet, is little consolation for 1,250 students who wont resume classes until Monday, Aug. 28 or Monday, Sept. 4. The rest of the district will begin classes Monday.
The seventh, eighth and ninth graders of Cabot Junior High North will be attending classes on campus in 30 portable buildings the district is renting for $27,000 per month, covered by the districts insurance.
Lunches will be prepared at other school cafeterias in the district and delivered to the students. New textbooks and desks have been ordered for students.
Cabot Fire Department Chief Phil Robinson and Cabot School District Superintendent Frank Holman announced the cause of the fire Monday during a press conference outside the burned building.
The $9 million Cabot Junior High North building constructed in 1998 had no sprinkler system installed. The building was built to state code at the time.
There was nothing wrong by the school. The codes have changed, and a building like this built today would include sprinkler systems, said Robinson.
Had this building had a sprinkler system, it may or may not have ended up like this. It started high, got into theroof. Attics are not usually sprinkled, so I cant say it would have helped at all, Robinson said.
The building is still unsafe, but were hoping to take teachers maybe two at a time to their rooms to see if theres anything salvageable, said Frank Holman, Cabot School District superintendent.
Fire departments from Ward, Beebe, Jacksonville and North Little Rock along with several volunteer departments spent 10 hours battling the blaze that left only a separate multipurpose building and gym untouched.
Holman estimates it will cost $15 million and as long as two years to rebuild the school. There is no estimate yet on the damage of the building and all that was inside.
Im just amazed at all the work everyone has been doing since the fire, said Alan Turnbo, Cabot school board member.
Cabot Junior High North teachers will spend this week in the cafeteria at the new Cabot High School to finish in-service training.
The district has arranged a series of meetings for parents and students next week in the fine arts building at Cabot High School.
Parents of ninth-graders will meet at 2 p.m. on Sunday, parents of eighth-graders at 4 p.m. Sunday, and parents of seventh-graders at 6 p.m. Monday.
Daily updates will be provided on the schools information line at (501) 743-3535 and the districts Web site, cabot.k12.ar.us.

In the Lama Temple
While touring one of the many temples in Beijing a few weeks ago, we went through one of them that was filled with Lamas that were busy studying. Well, most were busy studying. Others would take an occasional break, like this one who was taking a little cat nap.

Warsaw (Jan. 10)
The local synagogue containing twenty Torah scrolls was burned down last night in the township of Wlodawa near Lublin. The fire was caused by the careless lighting of candles in the synagogue.
An antique Ark of the Covenant was also burned. The Jewish population in the township is grief-stricken over its loss.

Murray Mania is about to get a little more manic.
Andy Murray defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 today at Wimbledon to become the first British tennis player in more than 70 years to play for a men's title.
The 25-year-old Scotsman will play Roger Federer in Sunday's final.
Federer is trying to equal Pete Sampras for most men's championships with seven; he's also trying to regain the world number-1 ranking and win a record 17th Grand Slam title.
"Sometimes it takes a guy a bit longer than others," Murray said before the match, according to the Boston Globe. "I've been close a lot of times and not quite made it. I have to keep putting myself in the position and hopefully it will click.''
More from GlobalPost: Roger Federer beats Novak Djokovic in Wimbledon semifinal
Federer is excited about playing the "local hero."
"I always say in whatever country I am in, I like to play the local hero, I kind of call them, and Andy is exactly that here at Wimbledon," Federer told ITV.
Not since Bunny Austin lost to Don Budge in 1938 has a Brit played for the men's crown.
Fred Perry, who defeated Budge in 1936, was the last Brit to hoist the trophy.
Murray joins another Brit in a Wimbledon final.
Jonny Marray and his partner, Dane Freddie Nielsen, defeated the defending champion Bryan brothers, Mike and Bob, in men's doubles.
Marray is the first Briton to reach the championship since 1960, The Independent reported.
Bobby Wilson and Mike Davies represented Britain 52 years ago.

The greatest threat to the upward arc of human progress is the collapse of public policy making.
Certainly, we have had an upward revisionism of Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Ronald Reagan.
upward mobility and reward for work seems to be an afterthought for all concerned.

Gear Review: Solo Stove Backpacking cooking stove…
I was recently contacted by Solo Stove to test and review their backpacking stove after a conversation they'd had with Trail Sherpa mastermind, Tim Miner. As usual, I'm happy to oblige and a couple of days later I was pulling the shiny new stove out of a tiny little box anxious to get it dirty.
What is Solo Stove…?
According to their website, the Solo Stove is described as a "natural convection inverted downgas gasifier stove". All this really means is that the stove uses a design that pulls air down through the fire and cycles pre-heated air back up between the double-wall where it's fed back into the flame for a more efficient, cleaner burn process. This means less solid fuel is needed to achieve a hotter burn and it should also create less smoke.
The SoloStove website describes the process like this:
Designed with a double wall, the Solo Stove is a natural convection inverted downgas gasifier stove. The air intake holes on the bottom of the stove channels air to the bottom of the fire while at the same time, channels warm air up between the walls of the stove. This burst of preheated oxygen feeding back into the firebox through the smaller holes at the top of the stove causes a secondary combustion. This allows the fire to burn more complete which is why there is very little smoke during full burn. A more efficient burn also means you'll use much less wood compared to an open camp fire. The Solo Stove doesn't just burn wood. It actually cooks the smoke out of the wood and then burns the smoke not once, but twice!
The recommended method for building your fire in the Solo Stove is the opposite of what you'd traditionally build on the open ground. Your heaviest fuel goes in first as the bottom layer, followed by lighter fuel then topped by your tinder bundle. As the air inside the walls of the stove heats up, it draws from the bottom of the stove, pulling the fire down with it. With this stove design, the fire burns more efficiently from the top down.
At 9 ounces, the Solo Stove is a little heavier than anything considered "ultra-light" but for a solid fuel stove, it's still the lightest one I've used. And compared to most other stoves that burn liquid fuel from canisters, it's lighter simply by virtue of not having to carry your fuel. It has two pieces (stove and pot stand) and the outside dimensions with the stand stashed inside are 3.8″ tall by 4.25″ in diameter making it compact enough to fit inside most backpacking cookware (it's designed to fit inside the Solo Pot 900). I currently carry an old JetBoil with me on most backpacking trips which weighs in just over 19 oz including fuel, so the Solo Stove is half the weight I usually carry.
Using the Solo Stove…
My first test of the stove resulted in a potentially ruined Snow Peak Titanium mug…but the fire burned great! It was incredibly easy to get the fire going and keep it burning by feeding fuel through the notch in the pot-stand. I kept the first fire going for probably 20 minutes or so, used less than 8 ounces of dry twigs and branches and had almost no ashes to dispose of once it had burned out.
I used the stove a few more times around the yard just to get used to it and make sure I could consistently build a fire quickly. I also experimented with different size branches, seed pods, and other natural fuel sources I could find around my yard. This stove will eat anything you throw at it and burn it down to nothing. The only tricky part is making sure the fuel of choice will fit through the feed port (which is only a couple of inches wide) and isn't so long that it sticks too far out. I've found that a nice branch size to keep the fire going once it's started is 1/4″ to 1/2″ thick and no more than 4″ long.
Solo Stove Field Test…
I wanted to take the stove out in the Arizona Desert with me and see what natural found-fuel I could use and if there was enough around to keep the stove going. Deserts are notoriously barren and fuel can be hard to find, but our Sonoran Desert is a little more bountiful than most suspect. Finding cactus skeletons, or deadwood in the Palo Verde or Ironwood trees can be enough fuel to boil a week's worth of water…that is, if you can find the water.
I took the stove out for the day on the north end of the McDowell Mountain Range among the granite boulder piles. I found a sufficiently barren spot, with no trees and few shrubs. I was still able to find the remains of a large shrub laid out on the desert floor. I picked up a handful of the dry, dead branches and carried them to a sheltered spot against some boulders to start my fire.
Once I had the Solo Stove set up and some larger fuel in the bottom of the can, I made a quick tender bundle from the thin dried stems off the dead tips of a Mormon Tea. I worked these into a small "bird's nest" and placed my fire-starter in the middle. I usually use dryer-lint and a dab of lip-balm as a starter. A couple of quick sparks and it was going. This was one of the easiest fires I've ever built. Once it sparked, the stove did the rest and all I had to do was add fuel.
Keeping the fire going can get a little tricky, you do have to watch it closely. What seems to work best for me is to watch for the secondary combustion, then start feeding the fire a little at a time. Working with the 1/2″ size pieces (or whatever I've got), I'll feed one or two in every minute or two to keep it stoked. Outside of that, this is as simple as it gets.
I also burned some of the less desirable fuel out in the desert including Cholla, Ocotillo and one small piece of Yucca. All burned well and completely, leaving almost nothing in the can.
The Bottom Line
I had great success in all my trials with this stove. The fire is easy to start and fairly easy to maintain. I could boil 2 or 3 cups of cold water in roughly 10 minutes (some variation). It is light, packs easy and the metal cools quickly once the fire is out. I never once had to coax the fire to start, the design of the stove creates down-draft almost immediately which feeds the early flame and gets the fire going. Finding fuel is not an issue, especially out here. As long as you can find some semi-dry combustible material you've got fuel and this stove doesn't require much. With practice, I'm sure you can control the burn temp by feeding different sized fuel with varying frequency. Something I intend to work on…
SoloStove and the BushBuddy…
I've heard some people mention that the SoloStove is very similar to the BushBuddy Stove. In fact, they do appear to be the same basic design but with some small, but significant differences. First, and most significantly, the construction is tighter with fewer welds and heavier steel making it incredibly durable (and a few ounces heavier). The second is a small design change, but I feel an intelligent one: the pot stand has 3 posts to support your pot instead of 4. Three supports is the most stable platform for anything that is not perfectly flat, which most pots that see a lot of use are never perfectly flat for long. The only other difference (again a big one), is the price. Solo Stove is significantly more affordable than the BushBuddy. Solo Stove even outlines the comparison on their site.
Sweet review. Love wood burning stoves. Nothing better than your clothes smelling like smoke while your hiking all day.
Great review Dave. I'm glad you were able to put it through the paces. I'm having fun testing this too. Next test will be to cook with it. I think this will be in both of our packs quite a bit.
Nice, thorough review. I have designed and made several of these, but was limited to tin cans etc. They work incredibly well, but this would outlast all of them for certain!
I have found that this type of wood burner also works very well with an alcohol stove. Zelph's Bushbuddy companion alcohol stove is my favorite and is very easy to use.
I have the same stove. I am surprised you didn't mention how messy the cleanup can be, which I found to be the biggest drawback.

Two-year-old Olivia Gillies was born with a potentially life-threatening condition that caused her tongue to grow uncontrollably. Now, after her third surgery, she can finally smile, and doctors believe the dangerous symptom of her condition is under control.
Gillies was born with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome, a genetic condition that can cause, among other symptoms, "overgrowth," of a particular body part, including the spleen, liver, adrenal glands, and tongue.
An ultrascan revealed abnormalities when Olivia's mother, Emma, was seven months pregnant with Olivia, the Daily Mail reported. The scan showed Olivia had an abnormally large tongue. Eventually, she was diagnosed with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome.
"It felt like somebody had dropped a bomb," Gillies told The Daily Mail about her daughter's diagnosis. "We were warned her tongue would be up to three times the size of a usual newborn baby and would keep growing. Nobody could tell us how big it would get. We were terrified

A Cat Pilgrim's Progress
Few historians recall the contributions of the cat pilgrims, a small but powerful band of felines who made the perilous journey to the New World along with the regular people pilgrims. Nonetheless, when William S. Catford II and the rest of his merry band of pilgrim cats made their maiden voyage on the Mayflower, the course of history was changed fur-ever. [BuzzFeed]

Former Centro property dynamo
The 24,000 square metre property, next to the Southern Cross railway station at the west end of the CBD, was previously part of the Austexx portfolio.
Now under the control of receiver KordaMentha, for its creditors Morgan Stanley and Blackstone, the centre will be renamed the Spencer Retail Outlet.
A multi-million refurbishment will restore the facility into a factory outlet centre, after some years languishing as a more traditional full-price fashion destination.
Mr Terry, who was previously retail giant Centro's operations chief, now has his own boutique shopping centre management firm Retpro, which manages another eight centres around Australia.
Mr Terry plans to bring in some new 'mini-major' retailers to help anchor the upstairs floor of the centre, which had been set up for 120 small outlets.
Now almost 50 per cent vacant, those small outlets will be reduced to around 100 shops, making way for some bigger operators.
"We're talking to some of the key, larger players. It does need some anchoring," Mr Terry said. "That will work much better. It's one of the best located outlet centres in Australia.
"We expect within 12 months it will be fully leased. It has been very much unloved for around three years."
The chequered history of the former DFO outlet began with Austexx' move to open another DFO nearby at South Wharf, while converting the Spencer Street facility into a full-price outlet. Austexx ran into financial troubles and BOS International sold its loan on the Spencer Street asset to the Morgan Stanley/Blackstone consortium.
Initial efforts to sell the centre attracted offers from investors including Lasalle Investment Management.
But the consortium rejected low-ball bids and is now pushing ahead with plans to revitalise the property instead.
