Prague's Franz Kafka International Named World's Most Alienating Airport
I Never Want to Land in This Airport!
I love Czech novelist Franz Kafka as much as the next brooding existentialist, but I never want to land at his namesake airport in Prague. Named as the world's most alienating airport, Franz Kafka International takes the confusion of air travel and multiplies it by a million. The average delay? 31 hours. How long might delays last? Some disgruntled customers have reported month-long delays. And who wants to land in an airport whose Gate B2 is next to Gate B11, while Gate B14 is in the F terminal? Not me. I bet there are giant roaches running all over the place too! Sheesh. Get with the program, Prague!

* Prices may differ from that shown
The Powershot S90 is a solid camera. Cosmetically, it is very eye appeasing... slick, clean, professional. It's also extremely small and light but high quality and sturdy at the same time. Not only does it feel perfect in the hands, but it can take a very nice shot as well. Battery life is decent. It uses a lightweight, rechargeable, lithium battery (NB-6L).
In fact, the pictures the S90 have produced are by far the best any pocket sized camera has made for me. I'm into macro photography and this camera suits my needs when I can't afford to lug around my main camera with big lenses and whatnot.
As far as cons...
The zoom is a bit low at 3.8X. This is pretty standard for a camera of this size, just make sure you can live with it.
The battery, while light and useful, is proprietary and you'll want to purchase at least one additional as a backup between charges. They cost 10-40£ depending on multiple factors.
Definitely one of the better compact cameras I've owned. It does feel a bit 'rushed-to-market' though, eg:
- if you have manual focus selected, as soon as the camera 'sleeps' it goes back to auto focus.
- some kind of manual focus 'yes, in focus' light would be good.
- the back dial is very easy to move accidentally (eg. it will change settings when you pick it up).
- not quite 100% quality construction (bits move a little around the flash area, as well as dial mentioned above).
- the front focus ring is useful, but again, not 100% thought through. eg. to change the setting you have to multi-click a button on the top which is exactly the same as the on/off button - easy to turn it off by accident. Also it becomes a lot of clicking to shift between things (eg. you want to edit the white balance and then iso = around 10 clicks, assuming you don't miss the right 'stop'. Surely it would have been better to be able to use the front dial itself to change the functions, either with a push or pull 'button' in the dial, or using the dial itself while pressing the 'function button'.
But, having said all that, it is still a great little camera, fits in pockets easily and tales great photos. Recommended!
Most compact camera only give you fairly limited control of the photos you are taking, relying on the camera to pick the best settings for the situation. Whilst in most cases this is fine, there are plenty of situations where being able to control things such as shutter speed and aperture, and being able to shoot in raw format, will enable a much better and more creative picture to be taken. The Powershot S90 is one of a very small range of compact cameras that give you this type of features, normally only found on larger DSLR cameras.
For the price of this camera, you probably could get a low end DSLR, but it is often not convenient to carry a camera of that size. Whilst slightly larger than some less well specified compact cameras, the S90 is easily pocketable so you can keep it with you for whenever you might want it. The camera feels well built and looks smart, with a large and good quality LCD screen, and plenty of buttons to give quick access to the settings you might want to adjust. The automatic popup flash is a nice touch, as is the SLR like control ring around the lens which can be set to adjust several different settings.
The picture quality is great, and the fact the Canon has gone for a sensible 10 megapixels certainly helps, allowing the camera better low-light performance than many compacts which try to fit too many pixels on a tiny sensor. The RAW format support means even if you don't get the perfect photo, you have a lot more scope for adjusting/correcting it than if it was only a JPEG.
If you don't have any real interest in photography and just want to let the camera take the pictures this probably isn't the camera for you, but if you like to have some control and experiment a bit then it's a great choice.
This camera is ideal for carrying around on holiday, as its pocket size and it takes clear photographs and is easy to use.
Point and shoot is great as the if your used to using manual camera's you can set it in the mode by turning off the pre set programmes and use it like the maual camera as the lens can be adjusted by a ring around the edge of the lens.
It can be used in different lighting and can be set to flash at low light or if your inside taking pictures and it reduces blur so if your like me and still practising at photography then this is a good asset to the camera.
It will however set you back at a heavy price of from £295 to £359 depending on where you buy it from, it always pays to shop around as the price range is quite a differnce from the lower price to the higher one, so look carefully before buying.
I like to carry a camera around with me on holiday as the views you come across can be captured easily and saved onto your computer when you get home as its easy to upload them with this camera.
It has 10.0 megapixels an optical sensor for better picture taking a light sensor for if your indoors or in the shade or taking pictures at dusk.
It also has face detection which I love as I'm the kind of person who aims a camera at people and chops their heads off, I don't know why but it sometimes happens, maybe is because I move the camera at the last minute of taking the photo.
It is automatic and manual, with built in flash, microphone if you using the video on anyone and has rechargable battery.
For the price of this compact lightweight little camera its a good deal, as most camera's of this kind are in the same price range, so it isn't such a shocking price to pay for what you get.
I like the camera, its easy to use takes good quality clear pictures and I'm happy to use it alongside of my computer which has windows xp and stores my pictures in a file for me once uploaded via the USB port.
If your looking for a camera then this is one to concider buying.
Have fun x

Swimming against the tide

My Life as An Atheist Activist or "False Idols Fall" Part 1
Two years ago today, I opened my front door to see a SWAT team standing there. What was my crime? Sending public records requests to the Evangelical Sheriff on a mission from god demanding records relating to his illegal transfer of taxpayer property to eight local churches. For this egregious conduct, over a dozen sheriff's deputies were dispatched with a crime scene van to my residence. They came with guns drawn and a purpose other than arresting me. It was to send a message to the impertinent atheists to mind our business. My house was searched for hours and left in shambles. What was the basis of the search warrant? Well, I will let an old friend speak to that.
…Gow Fields, the mayor of Lakeland, as well as Ann Gibson, the legal affairs coordinator for the Polk County Sheriff's Office should be duly ashamed of themselves. I would be remiss if I did not include Stacy Butterfield, a board member of the homeowners association in the subdivision where EllenBeth lives, and who is also the Director of Financing and Accounting for the Board of County Commissioners.1 These three clowns based the warrant for her arrest on an "impression" that she was a licensed attorney. An impression connotes that they never even bothered to ask. It is quite likely that their failure to properly investigate a situation before making an arrest was some sort of convoluted "sin first then ask forgiveness" trick.
Of course, this whole situation is all about timing. It is highly unlikely that EllenBeth was arrested just days before she and the Atheists of Florida were to enter into the disposition*2 phase of a suit being brought against the City of Lakeland for its practice of beginning their city commission meetings with sectarian prayers. Add to this the already existing animosity that was generated by the Atheists of Florida having brought a previous suit*3 against the Polk County Sheriff's Office due to Sheriff Grady Judd giving sports equipment that had been in use at the county jail to area churches.
But wait, it gets even more inbred. Gow Fields, Lakeland's Mayor, is married to Kay Fields, who is the Polk County Board Chairwoman.*4 In what can only be described as an infantile temper tantrum and an act of pure vindictiveness, the combined efforts of both of the Fields, Gibson, Butterfield and Grady resulted in the Florida State Attorney*5 arresting EllenBeth on a trumped up, disingenuous, completely bogus and un-indictable charge
I was not to be silenced. I made this apparent through multiple media outlets and interviews. When this became a public relations nightmare and it became clear that many persuasive opinions were coming out against him such as the The Ledger, respected legal scholar Jonathon Turley and the local legal writer Kemp Brinson, the sheriff upped the ante and sent his posse after me once more. In May of 2011, I again opened the door to sheriffs' deputies. I was dragged away, thrown in the back of a car and taken straight to solitary confinement. No phone call, no rights read, Constitution be damned. It was not until I met with my attorney that I learned the outrageous allegation being levied against me. If you can't win on a level playing field, brand your opponent a pedophile and teach her a harsh lesson. I spent almost a week in solitary confinement without my MS medications.
What was my so-called crime? It was based upon a report that my next-door-neighbor's child had heard some sound purported to be of a sexual nature coming from within my house some 48 days prior to my arrest.
I am going to leave out a lot of background and quite a bit of the story as it is tedious and not necessary for the purpose of this post. If you are interested in further details about the tangled web of government and church in Polk County follow link here which explains PUP or Polk under Prayer.
The outrage that occurred after my first arrest couldn't begin to compare to the noise that reverberated at the sheer ridiculousness of the second charge instituted against me and the blatant power play in effect. The pushback was immediate and harsh. The Ledger came out with an editorial chastising the State Attorney and once again, Jonathon Turley chimed in with a snarky blog post I'll Have What She's Having, a reference to an infamous line from the movie When Harry Met Sally.
At the time of my first arrest I had been asked to become president of the state Humanist organization based upon my prior activism and ability to generate excitement within the community. I offered to withdraw my name from consideration but was told that I was supported enthusiastically. I made the same offer after the second arrest, as well, with the same result. I later learned that I was elected almost unanimously to the position with just one person abstaining.
Support from within the atheist community was heart-warming. Fundraising was initiated to help with my legal expenses and petitions started on my behalf. Letters of support poured in from around the world. Also at that time, I was serving as vice-president of Atheists of Florida and their Legal Affairs Coordinator. The board was fully supportive in defending my efforts and helping defray legal expenses and recognized the arrests were in retaliation for my church/state activism done on the organization's behalf and at the behest.
I had known from the beginning of my activism that I wouldn't always be well-received. I was well-known in the community prior to these events due to my very vocal advocacy on behalf of the absolute separation of church and state. I was lead plaintiff in ground-breaking litigation against the City challenging their practice of opening every meeting with Christian prayers using an Equal Protection claim as well as the usual church/state argument. I did educational outreach about the Christmas myths. I went to speak to the school board because they moved the christian prayer prior to the start of the meeting and, by so doing, teaching the children it is okay to flout the constitution to keep the christian privilege intact. The president of Atheists of Florida was arrested at that meeting. The initial newspaper account stated,
As Bartow police dragged the president of Atheists of Florida out of the Polk County School District auditorium before Tuesday's School Board meeting, he yelled, "Prayer has no place in government! Prayer has no place in government!"
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Winston Churchill
I was there. At no time did John yell this but this has become fact in the repetition of this event. You don't have to take my word for it. There is an audiotape of the whole episode. I have learned all too often over the past two years that truth is relative to the person and facts don't matter when there is bias involved.
What I didn't expect was the bitterness, push-back and hatred I would end up receiving from other atheists and self-proclaimed humanists. I received a few snarky comments from atheists here and there telling me that I was a bad representative for the face of atheism. It seems that if it is on the internet, even atheists will believe it to be true. The first real problem I encountered was in the form of an atheist man showing up on a Facebook thread that was promoting a petition that had been started on my behalf. He made sure to tag me in his comment which let me know that I was a vile disgusting person that belonged in jail. Looking back, I should have seen his obsession that day, or rather over a period of three days and over seven hundred comments later. But, as they say, hindsight is twenty/twenty.
When the charges against me were dismissed, there was a huge outpouring of solidarity within the atheist movement. I had never sought "martyr" status and would gladly turn it back in but people were hailing me as a hero for the cause. How quickly things can change.
Stay Tuned for Part Two – "The Shove off the Pedestal"
*1 Stacy Butterfield has since run for and won the office of The Clerk of Courts which oversees all Polk County court activity including all criminal and civil cases that are filed.
*2. There is no such thing as a "disposition" phase. My arrest came immediately prior to my deposition being taken in the Lakeland prayer lawsuit
*3. There was no previous suit against the sheriff for the transfer of county property. There was litigation threatened. I was still gathering the public records thus the arrest.
*4 Kay Fields was actually Chair of the Polk County School Board
*5 It was not the "Florida state attorney." Florida has a State Attorney General. Each county has its own State Attorney. It was a Polk County Asst. State Attorney, Brad Copley, that approved the arrest warrant He also happens to work closely with Judd.

There are different ways to design software for self-storage using the Web. Not all Web systems require a server at the central office. Web-based programs run on a Web server in secure data center. Web systems catalog data on the Web server, which means they require only a basic computer to operate, eliminating the need for a network and network maintenance.
When a database resides on a Web server, users do not need to receive upgrades via CD-ROM. Instead, the software company deploys automatic, live updates that bring every computer up to the latest version. Eliminating central servers and running automatic updates lowers the cost of software ownership. Plus, Web systems that keep a copy of all data on the Web server as well as users' computers improve speed and reliability, which lets stores better handle large amounts of data and customer transactions.
Web databases can also tie into a store's website, enabling online payments and even First Class and Certified Mail outsourcing. Managers no longer have to print letters, stuff envelopes or spend time driving to the post office. Owners who enroll in a printing service not only eliminate repetitive administrative tasks but also those costly, high-maintenance postage meters. Web systems can send letters, handle postage and offer tracking, including recipients' signatures, more reliably than manual printing at stores.
The tighter integration of a Web system also enables owners to lower monthly credit card fees. First, programs can exchange more information with processors about cardholders. The more information about a cardholder you send to the processor, the lower your rates.
Next, more users rely on automatic billing by ACH or bank draft, not credit card processing. One-time or recurring ACH can cost a fraction of credit card fees. Stores can offer ACH payments to tenants at the office and website as an alternative or replacement for credit card payments. It's not uncommon for operators to cut credit card fees by 20 percent per month.
Measuring Results
SQL databases form the backbone of most Web systems and offer powerful ways to create standard and custom reports. Report writers, exported into PDF, Excel or more fine-tuned systems for tracking, can help analyze strong areas and those ripe for change.

After a surprising 9-4 start, the national media has started to take notice of the Utah Jazz. While there has been much praise, there have also been doubts, with some citing a weaker early schedule. Moreover, most of the Jazz's opponents have been missing prominent players, something that has not escaped the media's attention.
Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Clippers were in the middle of a back-to-back-to-back series, doing so sans All-NBA point guard Chris Paul. That said, no matter the circumstances, Utah's 108-79 blowout win over the Los Angeles Clippers was impressive as they took care of business from the get-go.
It was yet another balanced effort by the entire Jazz roster, as no one toiled more than 30 minutes and eight players chipped in between eight and 20 points.
Clippers' sensation Blake Griffin was held to just 10 points and 11 rebounds.
Welcome back, CJ: It's been an up and down season thus far for swingman CJ Miles, who came into the game averaging just 7.3 points per game (down from a career-high 12.8 average last season). Furthermore, he was shooting a paltry 33.7 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from three-point land prior to Tuesday's outing. For the most part, he's been pressing in his somewhat limited playing time, and as a result, many of his attempts have been forced from the perimeter.
Miles decided to do things differently versus the Clippers, adopting an inside-out mentality. Within minutes of entering the game, he had three lay-ups on aggressive forays to the hoop. That set the stage for his most impressive game of the young season. Miles finished with 19 points and five rebounds. He was also active on the defensive end, notching four steals, two of which led to breakaway dunks.
Bench Playing Big: By just looking at the box score, one might not guess the Jazz were missing their two top bench performers — Josh Howard and Derrick Favors. Getting some extra playing time thanks to the comfortable margin, the fourth highest scoring bench upped their average with 54 points — half the team's total Tuesday evening.
Besides Miles' strong performance, Jeremy Evans got his first extensive minutes and produced nine points and two blocked shots. Rookies Alec Burks (11 points and six rebounds) and Enes Kanter (10 points and five boards) continue to leave their imprint on the games.
Conversely the Clippers, sporting a bench consisting of unknown players Courtney Fortson, Trey Thompkins, Travis Leslie, and Solomon Jones managed just 32 points. To be fair, Los Angeles was also missing their top sub in former Jazz man Mo Williams.2 comments on this story
Outlobbing Lob City: When the Clippers made the much-discussed trade for Chris Paul, the moniker "Lob City" was given to the young L.A. franchise, thanks to the high-flying frontcourt pair of Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. And thus far, they have not disappointed on that front.
Tuesday, it was Utah who exuded dunking dominance. Led by fan favorite Evans along with Kanter, and Miles, the Jazz threw down a number of dunks in the second half, helping electrify the EnergySolutions Arena crowd.

text: What agreat forum - have only just joined! I have recenly st up my own darkroom and have been doing quite a bit of enlarging. One question I have is: Say I decide that 30 seconds exposure is about right for my 5X5 print I am about to make. Is there any calculation to enable me to decide on comparable exposure if I increase the size of the enlargement to say 8X8? I have discovered that as the enlargement is bigger I need to expose for longer, but sometimes I don't want to have to go through the busines of making test strips. Mabey there is a rough estimation or an actual calculation? Thanks for any help, Matt

Shortly after the Saskatchewan Roughriders walked off the Mosaic Stadium field and football-crazed Regina went into full-blown party mode, oddsmakers were hard at work trying to get a handle on 2014.
It didn't take long.
One particular trend has been easy to spot in the CFL over the past three seasons, and it seems oddsmakers either agree with it, or believe the betting public believes in it so much that they have to adjust the numbers accordingly.
The trend isn't hard to spot: The last three Grey Cup champions have been the host team.
It started in 2011 when the B.C. Lions beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at BC Place, continued in 2012 when the Toronto Argonauts outlasted the Calgary Stampeders at Rogers Centre, and was cemented last November when the Saskatchewan Roughriders pounded the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Mosaic Stadium in front of a crowd that was something-less-than impartial.

While many teens their age are soaking up the summer sun, East County cousins Audrey and Cassie Isaacson are back in the classroom.
But this time, they're at the front of the class. The two are teaching students who are entering the first grade how to read. They are completing a six-week course at Trinity Christian School in Spring Valley. Students meet three times a week for 90 minutes to learn between six and 13 words or terms at a time.
Though this isn't your typical Hooked on Phonics class, the pair are using pictures drawn into each expression.
"The problem with phonetics is that it doesn't work for every word and it just makes them (students) confused," said Audrey, 16, a student at The Bishop's school. "Eventually they don't need the pictures, they just see them in their head."
Take the word "out." A sketch of a little dog struggling to get out of the "u" was added to help children understand its meaning and build recognition. They also play games like Crocodile River, where learners say each word before they can use the flashcard as a steppingstone. At the end of the session, they solve riddles using the words they learned.
"It's fun to watch them come this far and learn the words," said Cassie, 13, who goes to Parkway Middle School in La Mesa.
Most of the soon-to-be first-graders started out with few basic reading skills, like 6-year-old Mackenzie Mascari.
"Instead of opening up a book to try and actually read the words, she would just make up the story in the book because she would get so frustrated," said her mom, Tera Mascari of Spring Valley.
Now Mackenzie can easily read Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham."
The reading method was developed by the cousins' grandmother, who used her flashcards to teach special-needs students and non-English speakers. Kids are taught up to 220 Dolch Sight words, that make up 80 percent of text in children's books.
Both Audrey and Cassie will be getting school credit. Audrey is getting community service. Cassie is crossing her fingers for a Girl Scout badge.

Today she pens down five healthy snack recipe that you can try when you're hungry, low on energy, for breakfast or as an evening snack. If weight loss is your problem, then these recipes will satiate your hunger for a long time and guarantee fewer calories. *Image and text courtesy: © Anjali Shah Healthy Snack Recipes #1Anjali Shah is a food writer and owner of The Picky Eater, a healthy food and lifestyle blog. Anjali Shah grew up a "whole wheat" girl, but married a "white bread" kind of guy. Hoping to prove that nutritious food could in fact be delicious and desirable, she taught herself how to cook and successfully transformed her husband's eating habits from a diet of frozen pizzas and Taco Bell to her healthy, yet flavorful recipes made with simple, wholesome ingredients.Black Bean Burrito BowlIngredients1 15 oz can of low sodium whole black beans1/2 jalapeño pepper, chopped1 red onion, diced1 yellow bell pepper, diced1.5 tsp cumin1 tsp chili powder2-3 cloves garlicSalt to taste1 cup cooked brown rice (use 1/4 cup cooked per bowl)1/2 cup fresh corn (use about 2 Tbsp per bowl)1/2 cup organic, low fat cottage cheese (use 2 Tbsp per bowl)Chopped cilantro to tasteDiced tomatoSalsa12-16 Corn chips (use 3-4 chips per bowl)DirectionsStep 1: Saute garlic, jalapeno, onion, and bell pepper in 1 tsp canola oil until soft.Step 2: Add cumin, chili powder and let the spices toast for a minute. Then add the can of black beans + liquid (don't rinse and drain the black beans before) into the pan.Step 3: Bring the mixture to a boil, let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes.Step 4: Once the bean mixture is done, start assembling your bowl! Put 1/4 cup cooked brown rice in a bowl…Step 5: Top with 1/4 of the black bean mixture…Step 6: Then add your toppings: 2 Tbsp cottage cheese, 2 Tbsp corn, diced tomato, cilantro, salsa, and 3-4 corn chips crumbled on top. Healthy Snack Recipes #2Cocoa Oat TrufflesIngredients1 cup rolled oats1 cup pitted dates, chopped1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder1/2 cup raw, natural almond butter2 tsp vanilla extract1/4 tsp ground nutmeg1/4 tsp ground cinnamonDirectionsStep 1: Place the oats in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely ground.Step 2: Add dates, 2 Tbsp cocoa powder, almond butter, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon and process until finely ground and slightly sticking together (it will form a loose batter).Step 3: Place remaining cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Roll truffle mixture into balls (2 or 3 tsp per truffle), pressing firmly for mixture to stick together. Note: if you use 2 tsp per truffle, you will end up with 40 calories per truffle. If you use 3 tsp per truffle, you will end up with 60 calories per truffle. I also spread the "batter" out on a plate because it was easier to scoop up with my 1 tsp measure. After a few presses in between my hands, I ended up with these perfect little cocoa balls. Note: do not roll the batter in your hands (to form a ball) – it will fall apart. Make sure to press it firmly with your fingers/hands until it binds together, kind of like if you were playing with play-dough.Step 4: Roll truffles in cocoa powder and chill until ready to serve (I chilled mine for about 1 hour). Healthy Snack Recipes #3Curried Cauliflower SoupIngredients2 tsp extra virgin olive oil1 medium onion, diced1 large head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch pieces1 14-oz can light coconut milk2 tbsp curry powder1 tsp ground turmeric1 tsp ground cumin1 tsp evaporated cane sugar1/4 tsp ground cinnamon1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro1/4 cup chopped toasted cashewsSalt to tasteNaan for servingDirectionsStep 1: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onion and sauté until golden. Add the cauliflower, coconut milk, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, sugar, cinnamon, and salt as needed. Add enough water to cover.Step 2: Bring to a low boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes.Step 3: Blend the soup with an immersion blender until the desired consistency is reached. If using a standing blender, allow the mixture to cool for 20 minutes. Pour the soup into the blender. Hold the lid down firmly with a clean, folded towel over it. Start on low speed and blend until the soup is smooth. Return to the pot and reheat if serving hot.Step 4: Ladle into bowls and garnish with the cashews and cilantro before serving. Healthy Snack Recipes #4Indian Spiced OmeletIngredients3 egg whites, and a tiny bit of yolk (maybe 1/4 of the yolk)1 Tbsp low fat organic milkSprinkle of salt (to taste)Sprinkle of black pepper (to taste)1 tsp olive oil1/4 teaspoon brown mustard seeds1/8 teaspoon turmeric2 green onions, finely chopped1/4 cup diced plum tomato1/4 cup diced bell pepperOptional: handful diced baby spinachDirectionsStep 1: Combine salt, pepper, eggs and milk in a small bowl. Stir with a whisk until just blended (do not overbeat).Step 2: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds and turmeric; cook 30 seconds or until seeds pop, stirring frequently. Add onions; cook 30 seconds or until soft, stirring frequently. Add tomato, bell pepper and spinach; cook 1 minute or until very soft, stirring frequently.Step 3: Lower heat to medium. Pour egg mixture into pan; spread evenly. Cook until edges begin to set (about 2 minutes). Slide front edge of spatula between edge of omelet and pan. Gently lift edge of omelet, tilting pan to allow some uncooked egg mixture to come in contact with pan. Repeat procedure on the opposite edge.Step 4: Continue cooking until center is just set (about 2 minutes). Loosen omelet with a spatula, and fold in half. Carefully slide omelet onto a plate. Enjoy! Healthy Snack Recipes #5Oatmeal, Raisin, Coconut and Chia Seed CookiesIngredients (Dry)2 cups finely ground rolled oats1/2 cup dried, unsweetened shredded coconut (ground)1/2 cup currants or raisins1 Tbsp ground chia seeds1 Tbsp whole chia seeds1 tsp cinnamonIngredients (Wet) 2 Tbsp raw almond butter1/2 cup dates, chopped and soaked in 1/2 cup water3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce1 tsp vanilla1 Tbsp coconut oilDirectionsStep 1: Soak the dates in 1/2 cup water for an hour or more.Step 2: Grind the oats and unsweetened coconut into a flour using a high powered blender.Step 3: Grind the chia seeds into a powder using a spice grinder.Step 4: Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl and set aside.Step 5: Place the almond butter, soaked dates (with their soak water), applesauce, vanilla and coconut oil in a food processor or high powered blender (like a Vitamix). Blend until smooth, then add to the dry ingredients and mix well.Step 6: Form cookies on a baking sheet lightly sprayed with oil or covered with parchment paper (I used parchment paper because the cleanup is way easier!). Use about 1 Tbsp of batter for each cookie, and spread the cookie out on the parchment. The cookies won't spread as they bake so be sure to spread them out into a "cookie shape" using a fork or spoon.Step 7: Bake at very low heat: 200 degrees for 1.5 to 2 hours (mine took 1.5 hours in the oven, but it depends on how hot your oven is). When they're done, they'll be slightly browned and crispy on the outside.

in January 2007 I finished the Sun Certifies Java Associate Exam with 96 Percent, which is 49 correct answers out of 51 questions. Hopefully the following summary of my experience will be of some use for you.
With a degree in Computer Science and Business Administration and 3 years of experience in the Web Applications team for a German Internet Bank I didn�t had to start from scratch.
First of all I worked through the Sun CD-Rom about the Fundamentals of the Java Programming Language (CDJ-110A), which was a good exercise. There is also an online J2EE Platform Overview for Managers (WJTP-310), which is not cheap but gives you a fair amount of information about the standards used in the Java World and how everything fits together.
From Amazon I got two EXAMSCAM books from Cameron McKenzie. The book CERTIFICATION STUDY GUIDE explains what you need to know about SCJA. The book THE EXAM QUESTIONS contains a lot of questions and answers. From Cameron I learned to focus on the SCJA objectives and on nothing else. Almost every page is telling you what you need to know to be successful in the exam and what you don�t need to remember. Cameron helps you to stay on focus. In the first printout I detected a few minor things, but Cameron got a lot of feedback from me and his students, he improved his books quickly all the time and I think they are very good now. You also always get a good feedback from Cameron on Java Ranch. Thank you Cameron!
Sun also recommends you on its web sites some free online material, like the UML PDF document and the Java and J2EE specification. This is very helpful as well. I heard of a student who made the exam using only this stuff, but he must have been a genius. The most valuable one is the UML PDF, because the people who made it are the ones who were writing the exam questions.
Sun also recommends you to buy the Head First Java book from Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates, which is easy to read and a lot of fun. This way you can learn a lot as well. The books contains more Java programming stuff than you need for the SCJA exam, but it is never bad to have a good background knowledge. Thank you Kathy and Bert!
Sun also offers three sample exams you can buy. If you do each of them in 2 hours you can simulate the exam in a good way.
Java Ranch helped me a lot to discuss critical issues and also there are links to free Mock SCJA questions and answers.
Shortly before the exam I also purchased a good exam simulator from Whizlab with a few hundred questions and answers.
Also it is not a bad idea to print out the exam objectives and study them carefully. In addition I wrote my own glossary with a lot of definitions I got from Wikipedia.
In the exam itself I was not allowed to bring a laptop or mobile or any study material.
First I was confused because I got a few question from Sun which have nothing to do with the exam, like one where you are invited to rank your own Java skills yourself. I was afraid that the clock is already running down, but this was not the case.
Then I got the real exam questions. It was good that you know exactly how many answers are correct, they tell you for example to choose 2 answers out of 4. Also you see the clock running down, which gives you a good feedback how many time is left.
I was going through the questions within an hour in a fast but concentrated way. Then I went over all questions again to correct myself. The last 5 minutes I used to check if I had given the exact number of answers. For example when there is a question where they want 3 answers and you give only 2 then you lost a point.
At the end I did not stop until the clock was runnig down.
My next target is Sun Certified Java Programmer (SCJP).
The company I was working for as Java Developer is not on the market anymore. In my new insurance company is just starting to use Java and I hope I can be part of it.
Study hard but take your breaks, read as much as you can, program your own code snippets and make it happen!
I wish you all the best for your exam!
Thank you,
Ranch Hand

Agree with Loren about cleaning. You'll probably find that was your problem. Especially with Doug fir.
If you have time wait around a sharpening service is usually cheaper than a new blade. However, it's always good to have a back up blade.

The Invisible God: The Earliest Christians on Art
1994 · New York / Oxford
by Finney, Paul Corby
New York / Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1994. Hardcover. VG- (DJ is lightly aged along interior edges and back cover and is lightly faded on the spine; a few fox mark on book block edge; pages are clean.). Dark gray cloth, red and white dust jacket, 319 pp., BW illus. "Challenges a popular shibboleth, namely that Christianity came into the world as an essentially iconophobic form of religiosity, one that was opposed on principle to the use of visual images in religious contexts. It is argued here that this view misrepresents the evidence as we have it (consisting of both literary and archaeological fragments) -- furthermore, this misrepresentation is conscious and deliberate, designed to serve the interests of modern (and not so modern) confessional points of view." (dj). (Inventory #: 156050)

But everyone else did such a spectacular job, too.
The grouping of your characters are really good, and the proportions of all your OC's stayed the same. I screw up proportions pretty bad when I draw that many characters in on setting.

The Speech on the Embassy
To the account he added a conclusion like this: that he had been the first to put a curb on those who were trying to block the peace; that he had done this, not by his words, but by fixing the dates. Then he brought up another motion, the one which provided that the people should discuss an alliance also; then, after that, the motion about assigning the front seats at the Dionysia to Philip's ambassadors.

Sergeant Edward O'Grady and Officer Waverly Brown were shot and killed by heavily armed members of a domestic terrorist group, the Weather Underground, who had just robbed a bank and were attempting to escape. The suspects had just murdered an armored car guard and wounded two other guards before loading themselves into the back of a rental truck to be driven away by accomplices. The truck was stopped at a roadblock manned by several Nyack officers.
One of the female occupants in the cab of the truck told the officers their guns were making her nervous. Thinking they had stopped the wrong truck, the officers began to holster their weapons. Almost immediately afterwards several of the heavily armed men exited the back of the truck and opened fire with automatic weapons, fatally wounding Officer Brown and Sergeant O'Grady.
The suspects fled the scene in different directions but seven men and three women were eventually apprehended and sentenced to lengthy prison terms. One of the women was paroled in August 2003. Another woman was released July 15, 2010, and died of cancer a month later. One of the men died in prison December 13, 1986.
A suspect convicted of killing Police Officer John G. Scarangella of the New York City Police Department, was a prime suspect in the murders of Sergeant O'Grady and Officer Brown. When he was arrested for the murder of Officer Scarangella, he was in possession of a gun linked to the murders of Sergeant O'Grady and Officer Brown. That suspect was never charged in these murders.
A suspect in the killing was placed on FBI 10 most wanted in 1982 for helping his sister - an accomplice in the New Jersey State killings - escaped from prison in 1979. The suspect was captured in 1986.
Sergeant O'Grady was a Vietnam War veteran. He is survived by his wife and three children. He is buried in Saint Anthony's Church Cemetery, Nanuet, Rockland County, New York.
The Weather Underground was also connected to the Black Liberation Army, which was responsible for the murders of at least one dozen other police officers throughout the country. The Weather Underground is believed responsible for the unsolved bombing murder of San Francisco, California, Police Department Sergeant Brian McDonnell on February 16, 1970.
The Black Liberation Army was a violent, radical group that attempted to fight for independence from the United States government in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The BLA was responsible for the murders of more than 10 police officers around the country. They were also responsible for violent attacks around the country that left many police officers wounded.

Cole Corner: Librarys latest online resource: A searchable SunMay 10, 2013 · Mary Iber
The Sun and all of its predecessors are now available to search. No fees or registration required. Find it featured on the library's homepage, colelibrary.org, under "Online Resources."
As communication options change, see how newspapers have changed, and how they stay the same. Papers used to report who was visiting whom, who was in the hospital, who was on vacation and where they went, who is coming to speak, and so much more. Just exploring the advertising from various time periods gives insight into the times.
Starting with papers as old as 1860, and going through 2012, there is some real history of the towns and the college.
How did all this get started?
The desire to have our local newspapers online has been a gleam in Cathy Boggs's eye for a long time. About a year ago, when she mentioned it to the public library board, Deb George recognized its value, and volunteered to explore possibilities. Mary Iber joined the efforts using her roles as Cole librarian, Cornell College archivist, and member of the Mount Vernon Historic Preservation Commission (MVHPC) to further the cause. She called upon relationships with experts around Iowa.
This project is such a perfect way to fulfill the missions of Cole Library and the Mount Vernon Historic Preservation Commission. There were many steps involved in making this happen, and they have been going on for the past year. Working together, with the goal of providing easy access to anyone with curiosity about the past, the library and the MVHPC reached their fundraising goals with partners from Mount Vernon and Lisbon (see other article or the web page for names). We contracted with a Cedar Rapids firm, Advantage Preservation, which was recommended by the State Library. Once scanning and OCR (optical character recognition) was nearly complete, we discovered that there were many years of separate Lisbon papers that we didn't know about. So, we added those to the project, and raised some more money. When that was done, Advantage started working on creating the web page and making it searchable.
We are excited to be able to share this with the public now. As with all databases, there are some tricks that will help you be more successful with your searches. Many are listed in the HELP screen on the historic papers web page, and there are Search Tips and a FAQ on the colelibrary.org site. We continue to work with the company to improve searching. Naturally, the quality of scans depends on the quality of the original material, and over time, some of that has degraded. While perfection is not possible, we think you will find that searching online is way faster and more convenient than searching microfilm, one reel at a time!
We hope that this will bring hours of enjoyment to history "pioneers" of today, from students in school to students of life.
So, download the latest version of Adobe Reader (free) and start exploring. Use the link on the Cole Library page to update your browser and reader.
Watch for announcement of a searching session the library will offer in the near future.

The Basics
Runner's World Review
A perennial favorite of wear-testers, the Kinvara saw several minor fixes. Most notably, Saucony stripped rubber from where it wasn't as necessary on the outsole and added pods where heavy wear occurs during toe-off. Visually prominent welded overlays wrap across the upper, providing a surprisingly firm grip on the foot, while also reducing weight.
Bottom Line: Faster runners may find the forefoot too soft for race day.

Prior to installing the new solar arrays we unveiled here last week, Jordan chose to focus our efforts on a six-year program to reduce our energy consumption to the lowest possible level before going solar. I felt strongly about reducing our energy use before converting to solar power. In the rush to get off the grid, many businesses have been 'solarizing' their inefficiencies—using the sun to power their overconsumption of energy. We too were tempted by the rebates and the desire to make our imprint on the Earth as small as possible, as fast as possible. But I'm glad we waited. Reduce use first: that's been our guiding principle.
In this video, I discuss our long road to energy efficiency and the finale to all our reduction efforts: an American-made solar system—quite uncommon in this country due to the higher cost of U.S.-manufactured products. We hope that is going to change very soon. Since Jordan's switch from electrical to solar on June 29, our CO2 offset, as of today, is equivalent to planting 500 trees. The array was projected to handle 75% of the winery's electricity needs, but initial reports on the amount of solar power we are generating, even during the busy bottling season, indicate it could produce more than 90%. You can see the environmental impact of our solar use in real time here.
This journey started in 2006 with a comprehensive audit of the winery's energy use–from facilities to the vineyards. Much has changed with technology since the construction of the Jordan chateau in the 1970s, so lots of equipment had to be adapted to the 21st century. From 2007 to 2011, we installed "cool roofs", new refrigeration units, new warehouse doors, pre-insulated piping systems, PowerShaver USES® technology, LED lighting and also enrolled in PG&E ClimateSmart™ to reach its initial electricity-reduction goals. The winery's electrical demand decreased by 25% due to this aggressive action program, and energy use was certified carbon neutral in 2009 through the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).
A federal grant in lieu of tax credit (which expires in 2012) helped offset nearly one-third of the cost of Jordan's 454-Kilowatt (kW) solar system. I was able to secure American-made solar panels for a price comparable to Chinese-made panels, which were priced around 20% less in 2011 when we started the project. Jordan's solar panels were made by Sharp in Tennessee, its DECK Monitoring system was manufactured in Oregon and Solectria inverters made in Massachusetts. China's solar companies hold more than 60 percent of the global market, and we really wanted to be able to support the American economy. (According to The New York Times, the United States announced in May 2012 that antidumping tariffs would be levied on solar panels from China to help level the competitive playing field with American producers.) This trade dispute with China over solar panel manufacturing continues to be a hot topic.
Installed by Stellar Energy, Jordan's solar system was built on a hillside behind the winery to maximize the southern exposure sunshine and preserve the traditional, elegant look of the winery chateau buildings. Additional videos and aerial photos of the solar installation are available here.
California's bountiful sunshine has nurtured our grapevines for 40 years, and this harvest, we'll use that same sunlight to power all of our crush equipment for the 2012 vintage. American solar helping us make American wines–it's a rewarding way to commemorate our 40th anniversary.
Tim, do you use the solar to generate warmth for frost protection/prevention for the vines and if so, how?
Wind and water are still the primary forms of frost protection in viticulture. Frost protection is necessary in the early morning, usually before the sun is out, so I can't image any way that solar could be used for frost protection besides powering wind machines. The solar arrays are not in close proximity to the vineyards, and we are not aware of any wineries that are using solar energy to power wind machines. And I have not seen any experiments using solar to power heaters in the vineyards during winter.
This installation looks simply amazing. Congratulations to all the team!

Seeing is believeing. The solar array is awesome and should provide some shade for the local critters. Thanks Jordan for being so proactive in minimizing your carbon footprint. The real test will come in years when the electric rates continue to go up and up and up.

Nuclear energy-related exchange traded funds are powering back up. The nuclear industry is witnessing a revival in the U.S. as regulators start approving new construction permits after a three-decade gap.
Market Vectors Nuclear Energy (NYSEArca: NLR) is up 11.0% year-to-date.
Scana Corp. (NYSE: SCG - News) is the second company to gain U.S. approval to build nuclear reactors in over 30 years, report Brian Wingfield and Julie Johnsson for Bloomberg. [Nuclear Energy Sector Gets U.S. Backing, ETFs Rise]
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission voted 4-1 to allow the company to construct and operate two units near Columbia, South Carolina. Chairman Gregory Jaczko voted no, pointing to greater safety rules in light of the Fukushima Dai-Ichi disaster in Japan – a large earthquake off Japan's coast caused malfunctions and a threatened a nuclear meltdown at a Japanese power plant early last year. [Nuclear ETFs and the Japan Disaster]
"I continue to believe that we should require that all Fukushima-related safety enhancements are implemented before these new reactors begin operating," Jaczko said in the article.
The Scana reactors are two of the five units that may be built in the U.S. before 2020. The Scana power plant will not begin fully operating until 2017.
On Feb. 9, Southern Co. (NYSE: SO - News) won approval to build two reactors near Augusta, Georgia. The first company was the first to receive NRC construction permits since 1978.
Other ETFs that follow global nuclear providers include:
- PowerShares Global Nuclear Energy portfolio (NYSEArca: PKN) : up 9.0% year-to-date
- iShares S&P Global Nuclear Energy (NYSEArca: NUCL) : up 7.7% year-to-date
