Lula Bowman has finally achieved her dream: a teaching position and a scholarship to continue her college education in mathematics. But when she receives a shocking telephone call from her sister, Jewel, everything she's worked for begins to crumble. After the sudden death of Jewel's husband, Jewel needs Lula's help.
With a heavy heart, Lula returns to her Oklahoma hometown to do right by her sister. But the only teaching job available in Dunn is a combination music instructor/basketball coach. Neither subject belongs anywhere near the halls of academia, according to Lula!
Lula commits to covering the job for the rest of the school year, determined to do well and prove herself to the town. Reluctantly, she turns to the boys' coach, Chet, to learn the game of basketball. Chet is handsome and single, but Lula has no plans to fall for a local boy. She's returning to college as soon as she gets Jewel back on her feet.
However, the more time she spends in Dunn, the more Lula realizes God is working on her heart — and her future is beginning to look a lot different than she'd expected.

Oct 02, 2007 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
After three weeks of close calls and bitter disappointment, the Chittenango football team turned it around, thanks to the strong arm of Jon Stevens.
All Stevens did was throw for 309 yards and a single-game, school-record six touchdowns, as the Bears erased a double-digit deficit and survived an epic battle with Jamesville-DeWitt last Friday night, beating the Red Rams 46-39 in double overtime.
Only after Chittenango stuffed J-D's hopes to tie it in the second OT did the long fight come to an end, one where Stevens, a junior, had a chance to shine like never before.
In its first three games, the Bears managed just 35 total points, but had started to show some life in a 27-21 loss to Fulton on Sept. 21. Still, no one was prepared for the kind of barrage they would see on Chittenango's turf.
Setting the tone for later, Steven hit Shaun St. Onge on a three-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, but J-D matched it and forged a 7-7 tie.
J-D's Dexter Green took over in the middle stages. Three times, he scored touchdowns — on a pass from Joe Daddario, two others coming on runs of 16 and three yards, putting the Rams in control by the third quarter.
Even when Stevens found Travis Lee on a six-yard TD pass in the third quarter, the Bears still stared a 25-14 deficit when that period ended. Yet this was all just a prelude to the bigger show ahead.
Three times in the fourth quarter, Stevens would take the Bears into J-D territory. Each time, he finished those drives with TD passes, to three different receivers — 17 yards to Andy Moth, 21 yards to Travis Lee, and eight yards to St. Onge.
All this helped the Bears negate Daddario's own seven-yard scoring run and force a 33-33 tie at the end of regulation.
In high school overtime, each team gets a possession at the 20-yard line. Chittenango won the toss and elected to go on defense first, pushed J-D back 20 yards — then watched, in horror, as Daddario's long prayer found Colin Short for a 40-yard TD.
But when J-D missed the two-conversion, Chittenango, down 39-33, had a chance to win. It moved to the five-yard line, from where Kyle Mills scored. Brandon Raymond could end the game with an extra point — but that sailed wide.
Tired, but still battling, the teams went to a second OT. This time, the Bears went first, and Stevens hit Adam Wayne in the end zone from 17 yards out, the sixth TD pass Stevens had pulled off.
After Raymond made the extra point, Chittenango's defense prevented J-D from answering, and the Bears' three-game skid was history.
Following all this, Chittenango (2-3) gets to step out of league play and meet its neighbors from Canastota Friday night at 7 p.m. The Raiders are 3-2 and are coming off a tough 27-22 win over Port Byron.

Heritage G Fungicide
Buy Now
Chris from Austin, Texas writes,
Can Heritage G be used to cure a fungicide after it is already well developed and has killed the grass?
A large area of my St. Augustine lawn (approximately 40 square feet died a couple of years ago. I tried to re-sod the area last year and it died yet again returning the area to dirt. It has been suggested that I need to treat for fungus in the soil and a local gardener had suggested Heritage. Information I've read on the product states it must be used as a preventative when diseases are emerging. Can it be used to cure fungus in the soil without grass present? Is there a better product or method to cure my soil?
Fungicides usually work best when applied as the disease is just beginning or as a preventative. We are not sure if Heritage will work for the treatment you described. We recommend calling the manufacturer as they are the experts on their product. You can reach Syngenta by calling 866-796-4368.

Hello from the farm! (eBolters)
Just buzzing by for the biannual check in.
Farm is growing slowly. Last year was an awful year for crops, what with the drought.
Meat chickens were mildly successful. Too many customers said they wanted X number of birds, then bought zero birds when they were ready.
Rabbits are taking off nicely. We have a couple regulars for them at the farm stand, plus a small retail contract with a local co-op grocery store. Working on a wholesale deal with the meat processor we use to sell them live rabbits for them to resell. More money in that than selling our own.
We were planning on raising meat goats this year, but not wanting to get burned like with chickens, I'm requiring deposits up front. No real interest from our customers, so we likely won't bother.
Learning all sorts of fun skills. Built our farm stand and chicken coop from the ground up, replumbed the water lines in the house, running my own electrical while renovating rooms, putting up my own drywall, learned to skim coat old plaster. Fun shit like that.
Complete thread:

Thandie Newton in talks to star in Han Solo movie - report
Alden Ehrenreich stars as the titular character in the film, with Donald Glover playing Lando Calrissian.
Thandie Newton is reportedly in talks to join the cast of the Han Solo spin-off movie.
Editors at The Hollywood Reporter announced the Westworld actress is the latest famous name linked to the standalone Star Wars project, which began shooting earlier this month (Feb17). No details of her character have been released.
Newton recently earned a Golden Globe and SAG Award nomination for her role as renegade robot Maeve in hit sci-fi drama Westworld. The British mother-of-three is currently shooting new drama The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.
Alden Ehrenreich heads the cast as smuggler Solo, alongside Donald Glover, who will play a young version of Billy Dee Williams' smuggler character Lando Calrissian, and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke.
Woody Harrelson was announced back in January (17) as the latest addition to the spin-off, with the Zombieland star taking on the role of mentor to Ehrenreich's young Solo - a part which was allegedly vacated by Christian Bale.
Directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller confirmed Harrelson's casting news with a light-hearted statement on Starwars.com. "We couldn't be more excited to work with an artist with as much depth and range as Woody," they wrote. "His ability to find both humour and pathos, often in the same role, is truly unique. He is also very good at ping pong."
Kathleen Kennedy and Allison Shearmur, whose previous projects include the recent Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Hunger Games franchise, are on board to produce the film, which is now scheduled for release in December, 2018.

[millionday] Management believes Obama and most important allies in the Middle East, the need for the departure of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
The question now is who will replace him .. and is the leader of this alternative can unite this country refracted against the current threat posed by extremist militants who are trying to advance to Baghdad?
The Minister of Foreign Affairs John Kerry Tuesday paid a rare visit to the Kurdistan region to get to know the desire of the Kurdish leaders to join a new unity government in Baghdad give more powers to the Kurds and Sunnis, who caused Maliki Bastiaúhm systematically. Said regional president Massoud Barzani, 'Today we face a new reality and a new Iraq'.
[millionday] note -- Barzani said --"Today we face a new reality and a new Iraq" -- LOVE IT
[millionday] This is the new Iraq will be led by someone other than Maliki, who had over the years is broken with the Kurds on how to divide the oil wealth of the country,
and anger the year by the arrest of their political leaders and the replacement of military commanders experienced of the year with others loyal to him from the Shiites and cut funding Sunni tribal leaders who helped U.S. troops are already in the expulsion of the base of the western regions of the country.
[millionday] Says Emma Sky, who worked a political adviser to Gen. Ray Odierno, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, then 'There is no chance to unite the elites in order to counter the threat of danger Daash group and al-Maliki in power.
The best solution is to agree on his replacement elites'. However, the find an alternative acceptable to all sects and political parties would be very difficult because of the many issues that should be on the potential leader that observed; must be a Shiite,
but not severely Maliki with the year, and needs to be Army veteran with experience in order to reform the armed forces collapsed and supervising the attack against the against Daash.
[millionday] NOTE -- he needs to be knowledgable in what to do with the forces and also how to run the country -- now there is a good point
[millionday] And, above all, needs to be diplomatic skills to work with Washington and Tehran at the same time, despite tensions between the U.S. and Iran. Michelle Knights believed Iraqi affairs expert at the Washington Institute for Middle East Policy,
said al-Maliki alternative must be members of the Dawa Party, to avoid any resentment powerful political bloc in the country. In other words, the list of competitors Iraqi Prime Minister short, and below the names of politicians who believed American officials and Western analysts and Arab diplomats that they will compete for the jo
[millionday] names>>>
[millionday] 1 - Adel Abdul Mahdi - Former Deputy President of the Republic
2 - Faleh al-Fayad - National Security Advisor
3 - Tarek Najm - One adviser to Maliki
4 - Hussain al-Shahristani - Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs
5 - Bayan Jabr - Former Minister of the Interior and Housing Finance
6 - Ahmad Chalabi - The former head of the National Congress

[millionday] we like that statement
[millionday] tbob hello hun smile
[millionday] end of report robin
[tbob] millionday
[millionday] ok brb with more not much to say until we see they were there
[millionday] Anbar (IraqiNews.com) US drones started to bombard the locations of the Terrorist Islamic State in Iraq and Levant in Anbar province. Security source reported to IraqiNews.com Tuesday "US drones bombarded the shelters of the ISIL in Qaem city on the Iraqi -Syrian borders." It is worth to mention that Iraq demanded the US to bombard the ISIL gangs which controlled Nineveh and several areas in Anbar, Salah-il-Din and Diyala provinces.
[millionday] The Defense Ministry announced, on Saturday, the arrival of Russian Sukhoi (Su-24) fighter jets to Iraq. Iraqiya TV channel announced, in a Newsflash followed by IraqiNews.com, that "The official spokesman for the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, Mohammed al-Askari announced the arrival of the Russian fighter jets, type (Sukhoi 24) to Iraq."
On Thursday, the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki revealed to buy Sukhoi fighter jets used by Russia and Belarus to fight militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Iraq, blaming Washington responsibility of doing so as a result of its "slow policy" .
[millionday] It was reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin, had telephoned PM al-Maliki on 20 June to express the readiness of his country to support Baghdad with various heavy weapons and long-range missiles.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia hopes to strengthen the military-technical cooperation with Iraq, noting that Moscow and Baghdad have taken new and serious steps to improve the cooperation. It was agreed to supply the Iraqi government of fighter jets.
[millionday] The Iraqi Air Force destroyed 70 ISIL vehicles in Salah il-Din. Security source stated to IraqiNews.com "The Iraqi Air Force destroyed 70 ISIL vehicles in Ain al-Saras area of eastern Tikrit in Salah il-Din." -- smile
[millionday] On Friday, the Ministry of Defense, Pentagon, confirmed the flight of U.S. unmanned aircraft over Baghdad. Al Iraqiya channel in a newsflash followed by "IraqiNews.com", said "The Pentagon announced the flight of drone U.S. aircraft loaded with rockets over Baghdad."
On June 22, 2014, a member of the Committee on Security and Defense parliamentary, Abbas al-Bayati announced that the American military advisers who arrived in Iraq recently will help in determining the dens of the organization of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Mosul to be bombed later by U.S. drones, while pointing to Iraq's need for U.S. weapons in its war against "terrorism".
[dinarmassa] Should we be concerned with Russian involvement
[millionday] no we should be glad with all involvment and training
[millionday] Pentagon revealed on June 21, 2014, the arrival of the first group of American military advisers to Iraq.
It is noteworthy that U.S. President Barack Obama announced, on June 19, 2014, that his country plans to send 300 military advisers to Iraq to help in the face militants of ISIL who took control of several parts of the country.
[millionday] The worst of the insurgency in Iraq is "over", a former general who commanded US Marines and British forces in the 2003 US-led invasion said on Friday, in a rare note of optimism over the crisis.
Speaking on the sidelines of the annual conference of Iran's exiled opposition - in which he was a guest speaker - General James Conway said the insurgents who have overrun major parts of Iraq were unlikely to make any further significant gains.
The lightning offensive this month by jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other militant groups has killed more than 1,000 people and displaced tens of thousands.
[millionday] Until now, ISIL has primarily made inroads in Sunni Arab areas in the north of Iraq, supported by Sunni militants that loathe current Shiite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki.
"The worst is over," Conway said. "The ISIS are probably surprised themselves with their degree of success." But "they will not mess with the Kurds, they will not be able to take Baghdad and they can't go into the south where the oil fields are because it's all Shiite territory".
The Kurds already have their own autonomous region in the north and have defended key towns outside this area against the militants after federal forces withdrew
[millionday] smile >>>>Meanwhile, Maryam Rajavi, the leader of the National Council of Resistance of Iran - a coalition of Iranian opposition groups - called for Maliki, who is close to the Iranian regime, to go.
Washington itself has stopped short of calling for him to step down, but has left little doubt it feels he has squandered the opportunity to rebuild Iraq since American troops withdrew in 2011.
[millionday] so all we left is to see what comes of this and the names ect -- goodness it seems as though things are rolling -- banking is looking good -- the air force has made their move -- russia has helped and even iraq has stepped up
[fishheads] Comrad tarrog1 Dat was in the past. lol
[Pablo] So, do you think this is it?
[millionday] he attacked so many it would be hard to get over it for any of us
[millionday] no one knows the date hun -- oh how i wish we did
[puttright] he'll pay for using genocide
[Pablo] But everything seems to be pointing in one direction, fast.
[vicki] R they still going international with the isx on july 1 ?
[jarhead] And Obummer will pay for using the pen
[jtank] russia selling used equipment--suptised m can make those decisions--
[blossom] fishheads lol
[millionday] note -- barzani has stated that when Iraq military pulled out of the disputed areas in artcile 40 and left it them -- he decided that it was legal and constitutional for them to apply it and they willnot discuss it anymore so it is applied as far as he is concerned
[The Shoe] What is that?
[tarrog1] A few more days,weeks or even month waiting is nothing compared to the years some have waited
[puttright] jarhead quite possible too
[alphaone2] I will claim two more days that is plenty.
[millionday] also know that Basra according to the US consulate is back in the hands of Iraq and much has been done and is ready for investors -- along with many areas so progress is what we see tonight and also financial decisions for moving forward with investment and jobs from international investment
[millionday] very good news
[millionday] could someone add links for blog and observer
[millionday] thank you robin and all that helped --
[tbob] as a good friend of mine says -- LOVE IT!

Nice titties love to see more
lovely pics and one of my fav. places to do it in
Well, in this case I had not proposed myself to do it. I was having a bath and he came beside me under the shower. He started to caress my back with the soap, but that was only an excuse. He only wished to have sex.
thats the way to shower
sounds like a nice way to work a person up into having sex
It's definitely one of my big turn ons, but can have the same problem and pool or hot tub sex: lubrication. You either have to keep things away from the running water, or have some good waterproof lubricant...and don't ever make the mistake of being tempted to use soap ;<')
Showering together, is sometimes a nice way to "break the ice" - especially with other girls
mmmmmmmmm wanna oil that ass up and have some fun with it
The first time we had sex under the showe, my boyfruend cummed quickly, he couldn't wait for my orgasm. So, I had an erotic dance to make him turn on. Finally I gave him a hard blowjob and look the result.
At this point, my ex boyfriend begged me to let him fuck me...
bb girl i got 2x that cock come try
enjoy showering with a lover. my boobs always end up SO clean!
The last one is not from my bath but it's from my room. After the great blowjob we couldn't wait to go to the bedroom. We couldn't reach the bed. I begged my ex to fuck me standing. We used the clothier's door to rest againt it. We had a wild fuck. In less than a minute I finally cummed screaming of pleasure. Some seconds after me, my ex reached his second orgasm.
that pic got me pretty turned on. i have never had a black cock but that looks fun
I had not chosen have a relationship with a black guy for his skin colour. He was a good man at first. The relationship didn't work along the years. When I met my husband, an incredible handsome caucasian guy, he became crazy when I told about Axel, my ex...
Whad did it happen with the door? It's broken...

One way you can make the most out of your money is by being organised. The January salesare one way in which you can maximise your money, as we all know; our pennies don't seem to go a long way these days…
Most people will be grabbing a bargain some way or another, whether it be from an electronic store or a clothes shop. So what can you look out for in the January sales?
A good way to make use of the sales is to buy winter clothing. Although we may already have our coats and woolly jumpers, there's nothing better than buying them when they are discounted.
This way you're getting value for money. Buying them when they are being sold at a cheaper price is one way to put more money back in your pocket. Clothing that is made from quality material often lasts longer.
Also, you're helping to look after your health.
More often than not the more expensive winter clothes can be thicker, more windproof and more water resistant. As the winter months drag on in the New Year, there will still be plenty of bugs and virus' in the air.
So, if you wrap up warm you can help look after your health better.
Also, by buying winter clothes in the January sales you can save the items for your friends and loved one's birthdays later in the year, or even the following Christmas!

Staefa, Switzerland, November 23, 2011
New international study, "Hearing is Living" by Hear the World, debunks common myth around hearing loss and hearing aids. The initial study results show a significant advantage as eight in 10 (82.8 percent) people surveyed from the United States who wear a hearing aid reported an increase in quality of life and two-thirds (67.5 percent) noted a better relationship with their partners.
The study results also show there may be less of a vanity issue with hearing aids as 86.7 percent said they wear their hearing aid openly and confidently, and experience positive reactions from the people around them (77.3 percent).
An estimated 36 million adults in the United States have some degree of hearing loss. However, far more important than the statistics are the effects of hearing loss for each person affected. Sometimes people with unaided hearing loss struggle with social isolation, relationship problems, disadvantages in everyday life and even depression. Modern hearing aids improve the quality of life of the people affected and help them to be able to participate fully in life once more.
"Over the last five years, Hear the World has been raising awareness about the importance of hearing and working to dispel many myths associated with hearing loss and hearing aids. Although hearing is of central importance for almost all spheres of life, there are still too many people who are freely denying themselves a substantial degree of quality of life without realizing it," explains Susan Whichard, Executive Director of Industry Relations, Phonak, LCC. "With our study "Hearing is Living", we want to make people more conscious that it is worth valuing and protecting their own hearing and encourage them to do something about their hearing loss."
To find out more about the significance of hearing for quality of life, Hear the World, the worldwide initiative of the leading manufacturer of hearing aids, Phonak, initiated the study "Hearing is Living". To this end, more than 4,300 people in the United States, Germany, France, Switzerland, and the UK were interviewed by the Swiss market research and strategy consultancy, zehnvier. These included people with a hearing aid, people with unaided hearing loss, relatives of people with hearing loss and a neutral control group. Here is an overview of the initial results for those surveyed in the United States:
- 86.7 percent of those interviewed wear their hearing aid openly and confidently.
- Over three-fourths (77.3 percent) of those interviewed report that other people react positively to their hearing aid.
- For 60.1 percent of those interviewed, their hearing aid is so natural that they even forget that they are wearing it.
- 62.7 percent of those interviewed can no longer imagine life without a hearing aid and almost half (47.7 percent) said they should have started using a hearing aid much earlier.
- 82.8 percent of the hearing aid users interviewed have been enjoying a higher quality of life since they have been wearing a hearing aid.*
- 67.5 percent of those interviewed claim that their relationship with their partner has improved since they have been wearing a hearing aid.*
* Data in percentages of top 3 boxes (a little / significantly / very much so)

The Synth Sound
Around the time of Go Plastics, Jenkinson has been quoted as saying two of the main synths in use on this record were the Yamaha TX81Z and FS1R. Listening to Tommib I would hazard a guess that it's the former; a rack-mounted FM synth released by then Yamaha corporation in 1987.
A stripped down version of the DX-11, it had 8 voices of polyphony and is responsible for some of the most famous bass sounds in dance music. I'm going to try and get close to it using Native Instruments FM8.
Because this sound is fairly complex, I'm going to skip over explaining every feature in detail, instead I'd implore you to read this on ambient pads in FM8, where I explain my thinking a little more along the way. Let's start in the master section.
As per the original unit, I've set the voices to 8. Add some Analog and Digital quality – these will add some subtle detune (analog) and sample rate and bit reduction (digital).
Next let's have a look at our operators. Each of the six operators here are in pairs: A and B, C and D and E and F. I've utilised the handy "TX waves" FM8 comes bundled with, and detuning each of the pairs apart (with the Ratio and Offset). E and F are also Key Synced, meaning their phase will restart at 0º when a new note is triggered.
In the FM matrix you can see that only E, F and Z are routed to the master (Z is our multimode filter, which I am using a simple low-pass). Notice too that each pair is panned apart, widening the sound.
Each Operator is modulating E and F, as well as being fedback into itself to add some extra crunch. It's really easy to overdo this, so be wary of how much modulation you do.
In addition each operator has some degree of velocity modulation added. This means higher velocities will increase the amplitude of that operator, thus increasing the frequency modulation. Again this is easy to overdo so always tweak your operators to find their sweet spots.
From our envelopes page you can see most operators share a similar shape: short attack, long decay, low to medium sustain and long release. A tip with this is always ensure the FM operators (the ones not being heard, A, B, C and D) have longer releases than E and F. This will prevent any weird choking sounds.
To tie this up I've added some slow LFO modulation to E and F in the Mod tab, some reverb and tremolo from the Effects section. Finally the Easy/Morph tab means we can make broader changes more easily. I've increased the vibrato, tremolo, detune and velocity slightly, while lengthening all of the envelope parameters:
It's not perfect but it's a good start:
Effecting our Patch
To get a slightly closer sound let's add some warble courtesy of Eventide's UltraChannel, using a tweaked version of the Thriller Background preset. This uses the Micro Pitch unit which is similar to the Eventide harmonisers Squarepusher would have used around the time of recording.
I've added a smidgen of compression and reverb (both stock Live effects) to help smoothen out some of transients from FM8. Lastly we'll add some Valhalla Shimmer on a return track. This unit closely emulates some of the early 90s reverb units like the Alesis Quadraverb series. It's not easy to know exactly what would have been used, and this is far from perfect, but it's buttered up our playing nicely:

TAMPA, Fla. -- When it comes to prime seating on the Republican convention floor, it helps to have a hometown connection.
The Wisconsin delegation was primed and ready to watch vice presidential hopeful Paul D. Ryan on Wednesday night from seats in the front row, just before stage left.
And even though it's the bluest of blue states, Massachusetts has an unusually plum position for a GOP confab, with a great view from stage right. Mitt Romney, of course, served as the Bay State's governor and still calls it home.
And then there's Michigan, which not only is the state of Romney's birth, but a blue state that his campaign would desperately like to turn red. They're front row center -- best seats in the house.

President Barack Obama warned Friday of what he called a Republican-led effort to "make it harder, not easier, for people to vote," and vowed to fight any efforts to erode the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in a speech before a civil-rights group in Manhattan.
"The right to vote is threatened today in a way that it has not been since the Voting Rights Act became law nearly five decades ago," Obama told a crowd of more than 1,600 people gathered for the National Action Network convention in Manhattan. The group is led by the Rev. Al Sharpton.
With midterm elections this fall, Obama blasted efforts in some states to curb early voting, saying "it is wrong to make anyone wait six to seven hours to vote."
He also criticized voter identification requirements being proposed in some states that he said could disenfranchise some voters -- noting not all voters have access to government-issued IDs or their birth certificates.
Republicans have long argued that identification requirements and other voting controls are reasonable measures designed to safeguard the balloting process, not to suppress voter turnout. Democrats say photo identification requirements especially affect low-income voters who may not drive and thus wouldn't have a driver's license as an official government ID.
Obama said he wasn't opposed to preventing voter fraud and ensuring identification security, but said in 12 years there have been only 10 documented cases nationwide of voter impersonation.
"Let's be clear: The voter fraud is the people who try to deny our right to vote," Obama told the crowd, which applauded throughout his speech.
The president said U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who addressed the group on Wednesday, had already opened some 100 voters' rights investigations, adding "as president, I'm not going to let attacks on these rights go unchecked."
Obama said of Republicans pushing tougher requirements: "If your strategy depends on having fewer people vote, that's not a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness."
The Republican National Committee's press office did not immediately return a request for comment.
According to a February report by the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's School of Law, 11 states have introduced legislation making "existing photo ID laws more restrictive."
Two states have introduced measures requiring proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate, to register or vote, and eight states have introduced legislation to limit voter registration efforts.
Public officials spotted in the crowd included Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem), former Mayor David Dinkins, former Gov. David A. Paterson, Public Advocate Letitia James, Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance and Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson. Director Spike Lee also attended.

There are several approaches to managing software development projects, the most common buzz words being 'waterfall' and 'agile'. At Zoocha, we believe that it is humans that make projects successful, not processes. Our team are not slaves to process - we design & employ processes that serve us and make us more successful.
What this means is that Zoocha employ a 'Hybrid Methodology' to project management which incorporates and can flex between waterfall and agile methodologies. On a sliding scale we can combine the two methodologies so that we are in-effect breaking the Waterfall methodology into progressively smaller releases. This allows clients to then be able to budget for how much each mini-release is going to cost, get a level of certainty about what is going to be included in each mini-release, and also shape the direction of each subsequent release. We define and agree the most appropriate methodology with each client as part of the onboarding process.
On boarding/ Off Boarding and Scope
The on boarding process commences with a project kick off meeting. This meeting has a structured agenda with clear outcomes, detailed below.
Project Team /Role Definition
A successful Drupal Development project depends on a coherent team structure with clearly defined roles and accountabilities. At the kick off meeting, the following roles are assigned:
- Project Champion - usually a senior member of the Zoocha team (often a board member) who will assume overall accountability for the project within Zoocha
- Primary Stakeholder - usually a senior member of the client team who is ultimately accountable for the project
- Product Owner - usually the main 'operational' contact within the client team who is responsible for defining and prioritising requirements, agreeing acceptance criteria and signing off development output.
- Project Lead (may also be referred to as 'Scrum Master' is the agreed methodology is at the 'agile' end of the hybrid spectrum.
Project Communication Planning
The Zoocha Hybrid Methodology uses many of the best practices found in 'Scrum', a widely accepted agile project process. A fundamental element of 'Scrum' is the use of short, daily meetings ('daily scrum' or 'stand ups') which adhere to the following pattern:
- Team members come prepared with updates to share
- The meeting should happen at the same time every day and duration is 30 minutes
- Zoocha conduct the majority of scrum meetings by 'Google hangout' or 'Skype'
- During the meeting, each team member answers three questions:
- What have you done since yesterday?
- What are you planning to do today?
- Are there any blockers preventing progress?
The meeting are run by the Project Lead ('scrum master') and any issues that arise are taken offline to ensure the meeting is completed in the half hour. The project lead will follow up with the relevant team member after the meeting to ensure the issues are resolved.
Project Scope - Workshops & Sprint Planning
Project workshops are an essential part of the onboarding process. They enable the project leaders to set the strategic context of the project as well as facilitate discussion and agreement of the project methodology. Training in the systems listed above can also be provided at this point, if relevant. Below is a high level visualisation of the Zoocha Hybrid Methodology which will provide the backdrop to agreeing the project process at the first meeting
Regardless of the exact project methodology selected, the scope will be broken down into user stories (the 'backlog') and development will be divided into phases or 'sprints'. The definition and prioritisation of this backlog will typically be done in a follow up workshop and then the scope for each sprint is agreed at a sprint planning meeting. The follow up workshop will also consider aspects of the project like risk assessment (which is recorded in a risk register on Google Docs) and any 'unknowns' are discussed and documented. At this point, the first sprint can be planned.
The agenda for sprint planning meeting is:
- Review development backlog (bugs, chores and features that need to be completed)
- Agree the priorities and estimate the time it will take to do that work, with the entire team
- Agree the velocity - this is the amount of resource available for the duration of the sprint
- Identify and communicate how much of the work is likely to be done during the current sprint
Acceptance Criteria and User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
Acceptance criteria are the requirements that must be met for a story to be assessed as complete. Acceptance criteria are incredibly important in agile methodologies because they spell out what the product owner expects and what a team needs to accomplish.
UAT is the functional testing of the product or feature by the client against the agreed acceptance criteria. The purpose is to check that the stories completed during the sprint meet the acceptance criteria and to capture any bugs or issues. UAT is a continuous process during a sprint so that bugs are identified and fixed well in advance of the demo and release of the product/ feature.
Off boarding/ Sprint Review/ Retrospective
On completion of each sprint, Zoocha will host a meeting to review the sprint process and deliverables. Any items of scope which for any reason have not been delivered are fully interrogated and added back into the backlog/ planned into next sprint. It is also an opportunity to evaluate the process and identify areas for improvement, update the risk register and agree refinements to the process ahead of the next sprint planning meeting.
In the case of the final sprint of a project, Zoocha will host a final 'project closure' meeting where the project goals and objectives are reviewed.
Drupal Development & Approach
At Zoocha we take pride in our development and our developers. We don't outsource any of our work and we never use contractors. This allows us to maintain a high level of code quality in a project. We also free our developers from having to fill in time sheets and other such bureaucracy - we encourage our developers to do things the "right way" from a technical perspective, rather than trying to do things quickly in order to meet "billable" targets as is often the case with many other technical agencies.
We use the latest web technologies where appropriate (HTML5 inc. canvas, CSS3, jQuery, Node.js, Geo-location), LAMP architecture, and use Drupal in conjunction with open source projects such as Apache Solr to deliver easy, maintainable solutions that will save you money in the long run.
"We have vast experience working on enterprise scale projects, but no matter how big or small, we will always ensure the correct implementation is used."
Our Drupal developers are first and foremost excellent programmers. This means that when we have to go beyond what the key Drupal modules can offer us, and begin the need to develop custom modules to interface with the Drupal API and other module functions, our developers know how to approach the problem in the best possible way. And it goes without saying that the Drupal Coding Standards are pretty important to us around here, along with the popular developer sayings's...
- Keep It Simple Stupid!
- Don't Repeat Yourself
- You Aren't Gonna Need It
- Single Source of Truth
- Don't re-invent the wheel!
Responsive Web Design
From mobile browsers to netbooks and tablets, users are visiting sites from an increasing array of devices and browsers. Responsive web design is all about thinking beyond the desktop browsers that we are all familiar with, and thinking about how websites might work when they are accessed on other devices.
A responsive website can automatically tailor the page layout to best suit the users viewing device, thus giving them the best and most seamless experience. With some great starter themes out there to help provide the front-end framework for your project, such Bootstrap, there is no reason to deny your mobile audience a tailored experience.
In terms of accessibility, WCAG 1 has now been superseded by WCAG 2 and so we believe meeting "AA" standards is not the best way to optimise a site. Within the design phase we will make sure accessibility is paramount. As a standard, Drupal out of the box supports many WCAG 2 guidelines.
Code Handover
We use a code repository known as Github to store our development work. The code base for all of our projects are held in private repositories that we can provide our clients with access to. This will also give you a full revision history of all files should you require that too.
Coding Standards
Zoocha Drupal Development is a Specialist Cloud Service (SCS) and as such, service levels are often hard to define as they are usually in the context of 'code output'. Rather than having our own in-house coding standards, Zoocha instead adhere to the Drupal coding standards that are being continually revised and improved upon as technology moves forward. The Drupal coding standards cover not only what is expected of a Drupal module, but also cover custom PHP, CSS, HTML, JavaScript and SQL programming languages. During a project we also peer review each others code, and at the end of a project (or release cycle) we automatically validate the entire codebase of a project using a tool known as SonarQube.
Within our Drupal Development services, agile training (including basic training in our project management systems) is provided during the workshop session. Drupal CMS training is provided as a separate service, the details of which can be found in the Service Definition document for Drupal CMS training.

don't drive if you spend winters driving to ski country
By claudioc on
Vehicle2010 Audi A6 3.0T Premium quattro 4dr Sedan AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 6A)
ReviewCar has some great features but expect problems with front brake rotors.
I was hoping Audi would correct brakes and after problems with my 2005 allroad I switched to a Mercedes 300 series. After 52,000 miles I traded in on original brakes. Now my A-6 2010 again has warped rotors after 17,800 miles. Pads only about 40% worn or less. This was same problem in allroad. It just cost me 600 dollars after 15% dealer discount - a true joke. I usually use engine during down hills and am carefull not to heat brakes. I think that it may be slush or cold rain that cold shocks the rotors. When audi covered these under warranty I did not mind, they stopped this in 2005 probably due to frequency - so $$$
Best Featuresgood econony- acceleration - generally a great car except for brakes. Next time I will go back to a mercedes, BMW or Volvo for ski country - even my Checy Suburban went 70k miles on original brakes.
Worst FeaturesBeaf up rotors or bring back brake warranty 5/50K

Okay, that's a whole bunch of questions, but basically, what do you all think, animal or humans?
3 comments:

Good question, but it depends on the strength of the material. Using animals allows more room for the fabulous, or fantastic.
Also having animals actout a human situation allows you that space to satirical, barbed or whatever. I don't know if sweetening the pill's the right word... but if you present the ordinary in an extraordinary way, it allows you fresh perspective on things.
Plus I just like animals.

i just saw 'the cat returns' which made excellent use of cats. there was something about them when they walked on their hind legs with paws outstretched, a kind of sinister yet cute mimic of people - especially the black-clad bodyguard cats. but i do find it hard to put my finger on exactly what i like about this kind of thing... allowing room for the fantastic is definately a good point, there's something about the use of animals that the brain just accepts (personality goes a long way?).
i've not properly read more serious stuff like maus, so i can't really answer that side of things, but i would suggest that the use of animals gives the necessary distance from a painful subject to bring about a more objective and consequently more encompassing viewpoint (like shaun tan's rabbits). i'm not sure if you'd manage that using real folks.

Having not actually read many of the examples, and just thinking off the cuff here, but using an anthropomorphic protagonist would give you more leeway and artistic licence as an illustrator/writer, the ability to fuse recognisably human actions with non-human, animistic attributes. A kind of two-for-the-price of one shorthand, I suppose. And I agree with Paul's point that it provides a necessary distance. After all, Tom and Jerry would hardly be so comical and entertaining if it were two humans constantly torturing one another.

Seventeen companies were selected from 48 applicants to present their innovations and technologies to potential investors for the 9th annual Investment Forum. It offers the only opportunity in the world for early stage companies in the animal health sector to present their vision and business plan to potential investors.
Competition was stiff and diverse this year. Forum presentations included new delivery systems and promising technological improvements. Mazen Animal Health was awarded the Innovation Award and a funding prize of $10,000. The firm is developing an antigen expression platform for the oral delivery of vaccines, developed with the grain maize.

Time Capsule
- This article is about the trading method in Generation II. For the Pokémon fought in a Pokéstar Studios movie, see Time Machine.
The Time Capsule (Japanese: タイムカプセル Time Capsule) is a part of Pokémon Centers in the main series Generation II games where players can trade with their main series Generation I games. It's also the only facility so far that allows direct inter-generational trades.
The Time Capsule is located on the second floor of each Pokémon Center. However, it's not readily accessible when players start their adventures; it is under repair, and thus unavailable until the player has met Bill in Ecruteak City. Even then, the player has to wait for another 24 real-life hours before being able to use the Time Capsule.
After this point, it is possible to trade with the main series Generation I games; however, there are still some requirements:
- The player cannot have any Generation II Pokémon or Eggs in their party.
- None of the Generation I Pokémon that are in the party can know any moves introduced in Generation II.
When linked up to a Generation I game, the trade will happen as it did in Generation I, and the Generation II game will act as if it is a Generation I game.
Due to the restriction on later-generation moves when trading back to Generation I, the Move Deleter was also introduced in Generation II so that Generation I Pokémon that had learned newer moves could be traded back. The Move Deleter carried on into Generations III, IV, and V, even though trades with previous generations were not supported. However, it still had use for forgetting HM moves.
The Time Capsule's limitation that prevents Generation II Pokémon from entering can be bypassed with the Johto guard glitch, though Generation II Pokémon brought in this way must still only know Generation I moves. When traded to a Generation I game, they will become glitch Pokémon. The four Pokémon that evolve by trade in Generation I - Haunter, Kadabra, Machoke, and Graveler, if traded from a Generation I game to a Generation II game at the correct level, will learn a Generation II move after evolving, thus enabling them to be traded back to Generation I immediately and allowing access to glitch moves in the Generation I game.
The Generation IV counterpart to the Time Capsule, which allows Pokémon from Generation III to be transferred ahead, is Pal Park; however, these are not trades, but instead, permanent transfers from Generation III to IV. Also, Generation V introduces the Poké Transfer, which does the same thing, except this time it transfers Generation IV Pokémon to Generation V.

Master Yi Build Guide by eromdiks
Not Updated For Current Season

Master Yi Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This build is about surviving, and being more use in team-fights late game. Double strike is a very important move and that makes attack speed very valuable. Smite is thrown out of the equation of jungling because we aren't really a jungle, we just go there to rack up more xp and money.
Attack speed runes allow the build to focus more on defense and attack damage, also attack speed is very useful for Yi allowing more usage of double strike.
pick everything that helps with AD, and then get hardness and tough skin. with out hardness and tough skin you can not jungle. if you decide to not jungle you can replace hardness and tough skin with sorcery arcane knowledge and one point into arcane blast.
start with a Vampiric Scepter. then buy Berserker's Greaves. next is wrigglers lantern, and then Recurve bow. Depending on who your playing against decides your next items. if the team is AP heavy or there AP is getting fed get the Maw of Malmortius before you finish the Madred's Blood razor. If the enemy team has quick moving enemies then get the Frozen Mallet before you finish madred's Blood razor. But normally get Madred's Blood razor, get hex drinker, then Frozen Mallet, then get Maw of Malmortius. for the sixth item spot get Bloodthirster. Very late game you can replace wrigglers lantern with Infinity edge, or The Black Cleaver. IE for better crits, and The Black Cleaver for pushing towers, or just more attack-speed.
Skill sequence
Get Wuju style and ultimate as much as possible. alpha strike is next important, and the heal is end game
Summoner Spells
Ignite and surge get boosted because of Summoner's wraith. when in jungle the blue is hit first, target the big monster first. use surge and Wuju style to kill it. ignite gives attack-damage when on cool-down,so make sure to use it at the very last second, if it needs to be used. ignite is perfect against guys like swain who have life-steal, or healing, and should be used when that champion starts using there healing move, like Sions ulti
How to go about
kill blue buff, after an ally leashes hit the big monster hard, wait a second or two before popping surge, then wait 1-2 seconds before popping Wuju style after surge is popped. the big guy will die a little after Wuju and surge were off. Then kill the wolves next. after wolves move on to Wraiths, after Wraiths go to Golems, after Golems go back to wolves. repeat cycle till level 5 which then you can either kill the red buff, or save it. you can jungle till six, or go back at level 5 before you level up and get your Berserker's Greaves then grab blue, and if you been saving the red, go and grab it next, after the blue you should be level 6. Then hard ganking begins. When you go in for a gank, make sure they don't know you're coming then right before you alpha strike them pop surge. then while flying through the air use your ulti and Wuju style. hit them up, and right around before they use flash, or before they escape use ignite, if they don't escape you will proabably get a kill refreshing your ulti, don't worry about mana you have the blue. either go gank again, or go back to jungling
Mid/solo top yi
If your mid Yi try and let the mid push you, if there a stuner, try and get the kill before level 5. if you have the money, get bf sword quick, if you don't go for phantom dancers first, if the enemy mid is a stuner and you can't kill them, get them pushed, then gank a lane, once the enemy champion dies(if stuner push) if not a stuner then don't push, and feed of them. If they got stuns you must push so that you can gank other lanes easier. Mid yi is a good yi because he is ad carry and must have most xp, and most minnion kills on team. THE ONLY TIME you may solo top, is if there team is solo toping to. Yi is a 1v1 champion, unless he is build ap.

Christmas Bureau Snapshot: Lillian Gay
Wed., Dec. 10, 2008, 11:59 a.m.
Editor's note: Christmas Bureau recipients come to the bureau for food vouchers, toys and candy. Every person has a story to tell. Reporter Rebecca Nappi is collecting some of those stories.
Age: 44.
Lives in: Medical Lake.
I was born in Orlando, Fla. You could say I was born into the Navy, because Dad took us all over the place. I have two older sisters and two younger brothers, and not one of us share the same birthplace, except my two sisters who were born in Puerto Rico. Dad moved us to the state of Washington in 1971 and died while in service in 1973.
I've lived in the Spokane area for over 22 years. It's beautiful. I love the weather – most of the time.
I went to four or five different kindergarten classes before I graduated it. We met all kinds of new people all the time, and that was great. By moving so much as a young person I learned it's really easy to make friends.
When I was about 5 or 6, I met a friend on the base in San Diego. Her name was Mariko. She was Japanese. Her mother was Japanese, and her father had met and married Mariko's mother over there. Her mother taught us how to make egg flower soup. And to this day, I can remember Mariko's mother standing there going, "No, no, no, you must let it blossom!" I actually liked the soup, which was good, because I was a finicky eater when I was a child, and Mom finally found something I'd eat on a regular basis. It made her happy.
I've worked as a nanny. But now I do it pretty much for free for nine children – Ryan, Cody, Anthony, Emma, Brook, Kiersten, Kylee, Dylan and Tyler. They call me Nana. I like best the laughter and the smiles. They always have something that just comes out of nowhere. We were driving down the road today and one truck was towing another, and Anthony, who is 9, said, "Are they making baby trucks?"

New Delhi, Jan 29: The Supreme Court has refused to give its nod to Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi's multi-crore welfare schemes for the poor, saying it first needs to lay down norms to identify beneficiaries of the cash disbursed from public funds.
A bench headed by Chief Justice T S Thakur said, "We will not allow this to go on. You have to lay down norms to identify who is the needy among the poor to be given cash disbursement from public funds under various schemes."
"Show that scheme to the HC and get its approval. Till that is done, you should not disburse any amount under any welfare scheme. This is an election year. That is why you are proceeding to disburse funds in such a manner," the bench, also comprising Justices A K Sikri and R Banumathi, said.
The apex court, which was hearing a PIL filed by NGO 'Assam Public Works', issued notice to the Assam government and its departments dealing with Panchayat and Rural Development and Agriculture and asked them to file their response in six weeks.
"Elections are due in the state and what is happening? Hundreds of crores of rupees are being disbursed through welfare schemes without there being some basic norms to identify the needy. How do you choose who needs the most from among the lakhs of poor in Assam," the apex court asked.
It took strong exception to disbursing of money to people under financial assistance schemes for homeless, widows, farmers, old-age pension, artisans, women's self-help groups, petty traders and flood affected people.
The petition contended that the government had not even attempted to make the eight schemes known to the needy through wide publicity and there was no transparency in selection of beneficiaries. Pulling up the government, the bench said, "You think the poorest of the poor would come to HC or the SC to complain? You have to devise some method to identify the poorest among the poor."
"When minister in charge of a district and the MLA along with persons nominated by them are members of the committee, there is a general assumption about which kind of persons will get the benefit," it said.

Heather Mallick: Another Reason Canada Does Not Deserve To Be The 51st StateWednesday, September 10th, 2008
So some female Canadian journalist Heather Mallick waxes elephant about the plebe Sarah Palin. I read this at Rachel Lucas first. Her response is full of "picque". You might have to be French Canadian to understand that word.
Rachel also goes after the idjits who feel that a random judge has more sense than the constitution. Jeff Goldstein delves even deeper into the constitution-Obama follower-stupid triangulation, that and the Sarah Palin equals a Muslim terrorist equivalence. Rachel writes about that too. [These are two of the greatest minds on the internets, by the way. I've mentioned this before but you should be reading their work every day.]
Still my favorite screed of the day is by James Lileks who goes after the Canadian tarte who manages to shove every stereotype about the right into one verbose article. This is a long quote, but I promise you, there is so much more goodness in his writing you have to read it all. Ditto Rachel. Ditto Jeff. Why would anyone want to be a liberal? The true literary artists are on the right. Says Mr. Lileks:
It's possible that Republican men, sexual inadequates that they are, really believe that women will vote for a woman just because she's a woman.
Consider the joy that would reign if someone wrote that "Democrats, racial guilt-mongers that they are, really believe that African-Americans will vote for an African-American just because he's an African-American." Of course Republican men don't believe that women will vote for her just because she's a woman. It's surely a factor, but there's the possibility that they will vote for her because she is not a woman like Heather Mallick.
You have to love the "Sexual inadequates that they are" line as well; if there's one thing that's amused me in the last two weeks, it's the screechy distaste of Ms. Palin coming from men who embodied the Modern Alda Paradigm of masculinity, which is to say they are nervous around cars, think guns are icky, had their own Snugli, have wives in corporate jobs who make more money than they do, and still get dissed behind their backs because they can't figure out how to make the bed. The Lost Boys, if you will. Now, some women can't stand Sarah Palin for their own reasons, personal or ideological; same with men. Some men, however, are made deeply uneasy by her, because she's the one who ignored the sensitive poet-guys in high school for the jocks, and didn't seem to grasp the essential high-school truth that it's cool to be a loser. But that's rank psychoanalysis, and we won't stoop to that.
She continues on the women-voting-for-women thing:
They're unfamiliar with our true natures. Do they think vaginas call out to each other in the jungle night? I mean, I know men have their secret meetings at which they pledge to do manly things, like being irresponsible with their semen and postponing household repairs with glue and used matches. Guys will be guys, obviously.
It's funny, because it's true! Bronze that paragraph; if nothing else, it's the death of PC, and license for guys to say anything. At least she's honest about the idea of female solidarity – it matters only if the ideological stars have aligned – no, if the ideological cycles have synced, to use terms she'd probably employ. Or has already. It's not about whether Sarah Palin is a woman, it's whether she's the right kind. She's supposed to restrict snow machines, not ride them or for God's sake get knocked up by some slopey-brow dullard who rides them. (Competitively! Gawd) Nationalize oil companies, don't make deals. Have one or two children, not five – Good Gaia, woman, are you trying to make overstuffed congested Alaska top the one-million-citizen mark all by yourself?
It gets better. It occurs to me that elitism isn't a college degree. It isn't a zipcode. It isn't a gender. It isn't a profession. It's an attitude.
There are plenty of loaded people who live humbly and wouldn't presume to condescend and try to tell some dude how to live his life. One of my favorite liberal friends not only refused to shower with soap but also had never paid taxes in his 32 years on the planet. He felt more than entitled to tell other people how to live when it was clear he had trouble taking care of himself.
This impulse to control other people, the lessers, the plebes, the stupid ones, the other, is why average people bristle at being "helped". It's not charity. It's not kindness. The government is one big bludgeon to control everyone's life. A helping hand? Right. More like a smack across the face.

The third edition of Optical Networks continues to be the authoritative source for information on optical networking technologies and techniques. Componentry and transmission are discussed in detail with emphasis on practical networking issues that affect organizations as they evaluate, deploy, or develop optical networks. New updates in this rapidly changing technology are introduced. These updates include sections on pluggable optical transceivers, ROADM (reconfigurable optical add/drop muliplexer), and electronic dispersion compensation. Current standards updates such as G.709 OTN, as well as, those for GPON, EPON, and BPON are featured. Expanded discussions on multimode fiber with additional sections on photonic crystal and plastic fibers, as well as expanded coverage of Ethernet and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS).
This book clearly explains all the hard-to-find information on architecture, control and management. It serves as your guide at every step of optical networking from planning to implementation through ongoing maintenance. This book is your key to thoroughly understanding practical optical networks.
Although this text covers the transmission aspects of second- generation fiber optic networks, its focus is on the networking aspects, such as architectures, and control and management issues. Topics include components, dispersion, fiber nonlinearities, the modulation process, the physical layer design of transmission systems, wavelength routing, overlay virtual networks, and optical time division multiplexed networks. The authors assume an undergraduate- level knowledge of communication networks and probabilities. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

Challenge 69: Greyscale (host: Jim Harrison)
Challenge 69: Greyscale
This is a lot like "Black and White" or "Monochrome", but the distinction is that for the sake of clarity, I'm not allowing anything that isn't completely greyscale. This is easy to test for because we simply won't allow any pixel in the final JPG to be composed of anything but R, G, and B values that are not equal.
I started this challenge out to be "Monochrome". But it quickly became evident that my understanding of what that meant was fuzzy. And thus, I wasn not able to get what I wanted to see in the galleries with that name for the theme.
So I've done the unthinkable this time and actually pulled the rug out from under everyone and changed the theme after the challenge began. I don't think that's ever been done before.
I also don't think that Black and White has ever been done before either, and that really surprises me.
This one's for everyone, of course, but especially for those who have longed for a challenge theme that emphasizes a technical aspect or technique in photography instead of a subject. You know who you are!
And this theme will also now satisfy everyone who longs for a theme that is very clear cut and won't leave any room for interpretation of the theme. Photos will be on-theme or they won't be allowed. And we can all concentrate more on making good photos and less on the technicalities of whether or not a photo qualifies for the theme.
I'm really sorry to change themes like this, but I see no clean way out of the direction things were going other than to do this.
Thanks everyone!

#FromWorkspace – real talk
10 January 2014 § Leave a comment
I just realized, sometime technology really make me sad and feel lonely. Why? Because that make me lost the chance to have a real talk. Even i meet and hangout with the real people in front of me.
Or maybe it just me who feel like this? Or my bad to have a friends like that? I don't hope so.
I just read the article from buzzfeed you can read here. There is one point that i think it was true.
The point that said "Spend quality time with your friends that doesn't involve going to a bar and texting other people."
Not only with friends, but also with the family. Yes, i had been lost a plenty a time to have a quality time with the people i love.
Please people, stop doing like this! You have a time to get busy with your phone or your internet. A lot of time that you can spend. But not when you have a drink or dinner with someone or people. Even they bored you! I prefer you leave or you ask me to leave then i look them ignore me with gadget. I'm okay to leave! 🙂
Hmm.. So, maybe i called this post #hope2014
