Canon Needs Betamax

I don't remember a copyright warning in the manual of my last digital cameral
But does it have a EULA too?
Comment by Seth Finkelstein — May 27, 2005 @ 9:21 am
I haven't clicked through any "agreements" yet…. but I'm sure if I install any of the computer software, there will be EULAs aplenty.
I was thinking a EULA for the camera *itself* ("This camera is licensed, not sold. By using this camera, you agree to the following: …"). Maybe EULA'ing the embedded software is practically the same thing
(sure, you can take pictures, but not download them anywhere).

Anybody can claim anything. Aside from restrictions imposed as a condition of admittance to a venue or performance, it would seem that simply recording by film/digital image, whatever, taken in public, where there is no expectation of privacy, then the rights to such images would reside with the photographer.
I suppose CANON could explain what they mean by their notice and under what circumstances they think it might apply. I doubt any type of "shrink wrap" or other unilateral assertion could overturn or transfer the photographer's rights. At least in most jurisdictions in the USA.

amazing magnets
From Hello to I Do Save the Date Magnets I absolutely love the magnets and everyone who got one says what a great idea... highly recommended
Perfect Magnet Save the Date
Snapshot Sweetness Save the Date Magnets We have gotten nothing but raving reviews about our magnet save the dates. It was totally worth the extra cost to do magnets over postcards because everyone put it on their refrigerator as a visual reminder and functional magnet. I really liked that this save the date gave us two pictures because one of our photographs was a fun profile view and the other was a typical smiling portrait, perfect for those distant relatives or guests who don't know your other half. Overall we are VERY happy with this purchase!
Looks great and it shipped fast
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets Good price, and it arrived very quickly! I do suggest that you order just one before you order all of your cards because the coloring was VERY different on the computer than it was in person. It was a lot darker that it looked like it was going to be on the computer. Thankfully I ordered just one to make sure it would look ok and I saw how dark it turned out. I was able to make it brighter when I bought all of my cards, so they turned out great!
Chic Lines Save the Date Magnets We are very pleased with our purchase of this design from MagnetStreet. We were able to use our custom colors and they turned out great! The only thing I wish we had done is spend a little bit extra money for it to have a matte finish as opposed to a glossy finish. But that was our cost-cutting choice! Pleased with MagnetStreet's customer service, quality, and value!
Good looking
Striped Glory Save the Date Magnets Easy to design. Great looking card. All finished and sent to is very quickly.

DENVER, CO - JANUARY 12: Corey Graham #24 of the Baltimore Ravens intercepts a pass by Peyton Manning #18 of the Denver Broncos which Graham returnd for a 39-yard touchdown in the first quarter during the AFC Divisional Playoff Game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on January 12, 2013 in Denver, Colorado. (Photo by Jeff Gross/Getty Images)
The Bears didn't even make the playoffs, but two memorable former Bears made it to the Super Bowl as members of the Baltimore Ravens.
Corey Graham and Brendon Ayanbadejo are both on the Ravens defense that stopped the Patriots, Broncos and Colts on the way to next weekend's Super Bowl. Graham was with the Bears for five seasons. He was named All-Pro twice for his impressive work on special teams, but he had a hard time getting on the field on defense. This season, he went to the Ravens and got two interceptions and 60 tackles.
Ayanbadejo was on the Bears 2006 team that won the NFC championship. He talked about how he still has a special place in his heart for that team.
"It's kind of funny, all my Bears boys, all the guys have been texting me and tweeting me, and I'm like man, I've got you guys, I've got this," Ayanbadejo said on ESPN 1000."The whole 2006 team, you guys are in my heart , you guys are on my back, I'm going to go win this championship for you guys as well."
He went to Baltimore in 2008, where has been one of their key veteran linebackers.
So take heart, Bears fans. While the Bears have to wait another year for a chance at the Super Bowl, some former Bears could walk away with a ring.

BRB: Headed To Aria's New Game Room
Aria recently opened a new spot for gaming. That's gaming, not gambling.
The resort has traded in its previous coin-operated arcade on the second floor promenade for a new, state-of-the-art Game Room. The venue includes a bank of giant 50-inch TVs with a choice of PlayStation 4s and Xbox Ones available for play. Guests will find Call of Duty and Lego Marvel Super Heroes, rather than Space Invaders and Centipede. There are nearly 20 different games to chose from and the catalogue will be updated often to include popular titles.

At Aria, Two Closings Are Near
On the center Strip, Aria is preparing to close both a bar and a restaurant. To come? Another restaurant and -- maybe -- another bar.
City Bar, the drinking spot you walk by to get to the casino, a restaurant, Zarkana, or your hotel room, will close this Sunday, June 22. We're told a new concept will be announced in the coming weeks. Rumor has it a new lounge is on the way. We couldn't confirm that, but we'll pretend to be surprised when we see the announcement.

Sanity Prevails: SHe SHutters
After a somewhat predictable social experiment in an Eva Longoria-helmed steakhouse, SHe by Morton's has finally served it's last plate of "Mac N SHeESE." (Yes, that was a real menu item.)
It's the culmination of the question: If we put an actress/fashion designer (Eva Longoria) in charge of a steakhouse, will that be a success? Unfortunately, there wasn't a sane person in that room so the bizarre identity crisis of SHe opened at the Shops at Crystals mall in December of 2012 (in the spot that once held Beso, also by Longoria). It was a nightclub (for seven weeks, once), a fashion show (runway and all), a burlesque immersive show (kind of thing), and something approaching the definition of a steakhouse.

Vdara's Spa Receives An Upgrade
How long has it been since you visited Vdara, that oh-so-mellow (non-smoking and casino-free) resort and spa tucked away behind Aria? We don't hear very much about Vdara (aside from those endless "death ray" jokes), probably because all of the guests are in aromatherapy trances. You see, Vdara's spa was recently acquired by ESPA. This rebranding has brought the ESPA spa line and operating philosophy to the existing facility, focusing on the high-end products and services the company has become famous for (in other parts of the world, that is).

Bobby's Burger Palace Opens To A Line
It may just be one of a sea of burger joints now on the Strip, but Bobby's Burger Palace (BBP) still attracted a line of hungry passersby for its Vegas debut.
While the restaurant has the star power of a celebrity chef behind it (Bobby Flay), it will be its location that will draw in the crowds. You don't have to wind your way through a hotel or casino to reach it. You need simply step off the sidewalk lining Las Vegas Boulevard. It's just that easy.

When it comes to craft beer on The Strip, our cups may soon overfloweth. And, that's definitely not a bad thing.
When Public House at Venetian opened back in 2011 it claimed bragging rights for having not just the city's, but the state of Nevada's first certified beer cicerone (read: know-it-all). Fast forward to this past November when Mandalay Bay hired the state's only female cicerone to help helm its food and beverage program, with a special focus on expanding the resort's beer menus.

Michel Gondry's heartfelt and intimate documentary The Thorn in the Heart stands at the intersection of two unique film traditions: a strain of offbeat cinematic autobiography characterized by self-reflexive, patchwork essay films that proliferated on the festival circuit just after the advent of digital video, and a subgenre of French pastoral documentary -- typified by Nicolas Philibert's To Be and to Have and Raymond Depardon's Profils Paysans chronicles -- dedicated to poetically capturing the vicissitudes of Gallic farm life. The subject in this case is Gondry's aunt Suzette, a retired schoolteacher in her eighties who spent the period of 1952-1986 migrating from one hamlet to another, a year or two in each locale, educating French children with the often-unconventional approaches that she saw fit.
Courtesy of a marvelous opener set at a feast around the family dinner table, where Suzette occupies the center chair and entertains everyone (including herself) with an outrageously funny tale about her late husband, Gondry immediately enables the audience to grow enchanted with this magnetic and charismatic woman. He shows us how she functions as the glue that holds kith and kin together, and then moves into the body of the film itself, which intercuts two main threads, both related to Suzette.
One of those threads explores a number of the complicated, issue-ridden dynamics that belie the family's seemingly placid exterior. For example, we learn about the conflicts experienced by Suzette's homosexual son, Jean-Yves, in having a strict disciplinarian who doubled as both mother and teacher; about Jean-Yves' onetime yen to attend culinary school, and his decision to forego this by staying home and working in a sawmill to please his late father; and about Suzette infuriating her children by refusing to relay news of their father's death until two days after it occurred. Director Gondry's success lies in broaching this material with an easy hand. He seems to realize, likely aware of the risks of exploitation associated with unveiling family conflicts, that full disclosure is not merely unnecessary but unwise, perhaps even unethical -- and that pointed and poignant glimpses will more than suffice.
Intercut with this material, the remainder of the footage follows the various geographic stops of Suzette's career, proceeding chronologically from 1952 into the mid-'80s. Gondry adds a much-needed element of narrative structure by dividing this material into chapters. Each begins with the name of a French village where Suzette taught, and each witnesses Suzette's nostalgic return to that particular site as a retiree. Because Gondry remains exclusively focused on Suzette as his subject, we get virtually no cutaways detailing the character or geography of each village -- only close-ups of Suzette reminiscing about her time in the locale at hand -- and that feels entirely appropriate.
The footage itself is emotionally overpowering, and perhaps no more so than in two critical sequences: one recounting Suzette's actions in 1962, when she defied common practice during the Franco-Algerian war by taking in and educating numerous Algerian students, and another, late in the film, that provides visual illustrations of Suzette's individualistic teaching methods -- techniques that included instructing the children in swimming and whisking them off on a series of field trips to unusual sites. In each case, Gondry conveys the particulars with a breathtaking, virtually seamless interpolation of still photographs and home-movie footage.
We do get traces of the stylistic whimsicality that has come to typify Gondry's work throughout the documentary, and the results here are variable. At times, this seems entirely fitting, even ingenious -- as in an instance where he uses stop-motion animation to illustrate a rural movie house with mobile inner walls that Suzette is recalling. On other occasions -- as in the case of an effects-heavy fantasy sequence with schoolchildren trying on clothes to make themselves "invisible" -- it seems merely precious and self-indulgent.
The film's only other major lapse involves an odd passage that recalls Suzette moving to New York for a year with two teenage children. The narrative grows muddled during this sequence, both in terms of the timing in Suzette's life, and in terms of the identity of the children and Suzette's relationship to them.
These lapses aside, the film as a whole represents a fantastic achievement -- haunting, deftly poetic, and beautifully observed. It may constitute something of a departure from Gondry's prior work, but it's a thoroughly welcome one that merits considerable attention.

Six Flags Membership vs. Season Passes: Is one the better choice for you?
Written by Jacob Sundstrom
In recent history, Six Flags has been trying to find new and exciting ways to get people into their theme parks. While Universal and Disney continue to raise their prices (without hurting attendance, I might add), Six Flags tries to keep the cost of entry low, as its plans to make its money once you get inside the park. It's not quite at the level of Spirit Airlines -- an airline known for cheap fares and bare-bones service; but we know which end of the spectrum they occupy.Tweet
In its newest attempt to get your hips pushing through a turnstile, Six Flags unveiled a "membership" program. The pitch: Low monthly payments that keep the cost of a season pass manageable. This is by no means a new idea in the theme park industry. Before my wife started working at Disneyland, her annual pass was paid for monthly and I believe (though I may be mis-remembering) that Six Flags has offered something similar in the past.
The catch: The membership isn't simply a payment plan. It's a 12-month commitment, then beyond that, Six Flags will keep on billing you until you tell it to stop. You're locked in for a calendar year and then you are free to cancel at any time. The real catch? How many Six Flags are open 12 months a year?
That low monthly payment won't hurt a bit in May, June or July when the park is open seven days a week and the uses are a-plenty; but how are guests going to feel in February when they quite simply can't go to their local theme park? Yeah, that's probably going to upset a few people.
Here's a breakdown of what you're getting with a Six Flags membership (standard):
The standard membership at Six Flags Fiesta Texas (my "home" park) runs $6.58 a month if you purchase between 1-3 passes. If you increase your quantity to four or more passes (clever girl) they drop the price to $5.65 a month. For the gold membership you pay $8.75 ($6.49 for 4+) and get the a few additional benefits. The prices quoted above are after you've paid a $20 refundable security deposit. You can pay a dollar more a month and avoid making this payment; the deposit is returned after you cancel your membership (so long as you've kept it current for a year, of course).
Some of the additional benefits of getting a gold membership (at Fiesta Texas):
These features are identical to what is offered with the season passes, so the only meaningful difference is that the price is paid over 12 months instead of in a lump sum. Again, it's not a payment plan. No doubt Six Flags' plan of attack here is much the same as other companies offering a membership: They don't want you to cancel. On May 4 next year I'll be able to cancel my membership -- but they're hoping I won't -- whether that be thanks to a great experience at Six Flags parks this year or (more likely) because I forget to cancel it.
Benefits and costs for each membership vary from park to park. At Magic Mountain, the gold pass runs you $10 a month and includes admission to Hurricane Harbor -- the standard one-park pass is just $6.08 a month. How a regular pass at a Six Flags in southern California is cheaper than one in San Antonio, I don't know. I guess it's balanced out by parking at Magic Mountain costing an extra $10, or something.
There's value to be had in Six Flags' newest season pass offering, but you're not going to be having much fun when you pay $9 for a service you can't use come February. Six Flags is hoping your use come summertime will help ease the pain of the payments through the winter.
Readers' Opinions
From 126.96.36.199 on May 11, 2014 at 3:00 PM
At least when I've looked at the Six Flags Magic Mountain numbers, I find the Membership option to be much more valuable than the Season Pass option.
Biggest thing that bugs me about the normal season passes is that no matter when you buy it in the year, it expires at the end of the year. Often it does get cheaper later in the year, but you're still paying for only part of a year.
The Membership is the same price annually (at least as compared to buying earlier in the year, like right now), but is good for the full year.
It also helps that Magic Mountain is open year round (just often only on weekends).
The one downside is that you do indeed need to take action to cancel, instead of action to renew.
From Kurt Dahlin on May 11, 2014 at 3:03 PM
I'm a frequent visitor to Six Flags Magic Mountain, having logged roughly 67 visits in 2013. I thought about switching over to the new membership, but honestly, I don't trust them with my financial information. Security breaches are far too common these days and I'd rather not give Six Flags permission to dip into my bank account each month. I also don't want the hassle of having to remember to update my banking information with them every time my credit card renews. I'd rather make a one-time cash payment and be done with it for an entire year.

So, which 6 Flags parks are open all year?
From Charles Reichley on May 11, 2014 at 6:49 PM
This is the same as the Busch Gardens "monthly payment plan". And it works the same way, making you forget that you have it. Or -- because of price increases -- you want to keep it, because if you cancel, and then change your mind, you will forever pay more for the same thing.
From Gabriel Schroll on May 11, 2014 at 8:20 PM
As far as I know, Magic Mountain is the only park open all year round. Fiesta Texas looks to have its last weekend November 15-16, and its Wikipedia page showed "March to January" operating calendar, so it's open most of the year, and probably more than any other Six Flags outside of Valencia.
From AJ Hummel on May 11, 2014 at 10:00 PM
Tony, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, and Six Flags Mexico are open year round. Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Over Texas, and Six Flags Over Georgia are close to year round (late March to early January). The remaining Six Flags parks are March-May to October, with a shorter season as you get farther north.
I've always gone with a Season Pass over a Membership and will continue to do so as it is not that expensive and my visits to my local Six Flags (Magic Mountain) tend to vary in frequency. Some years, I've gone six or seven times, plus visited Six Flags parks in other areas of the country, while in other years I've only gone once or twice. As a general rule, if I don't anticipate four Six Flags visits in a year (total, not just SFMM) I don't buy a pass and just pay per visit (with discounts, $30-40 per visit is not uncommon).

I only regularly went to Great Adventure and they were open generally from Easter to Halloween. But that NJ with bad winters.
From Bobbie Butterfield on May 12, 2014 at 11:22 AM
Thanks for writing this article. It's made me reconsider the options. I never really thought about purchasing a membership - I've purchased a season pass for the past several years - but insofar as I paid roughly $103 for a gold season pass, a basic membership (parking not included) at my home park (Six Flags Great Adventure)for $6.67 a month or $80.04 a year might be the better option IF I continue to use New Jersey Transit as my means of access to the park. If, on the other hand, I borrow my dad's car to get to the park, a gold season pass works out to be slightly cheaper than a gold membership.
From 22.214.171.124 on May 12, 2014 at 12:08 PM
When I purchased my membership last year I spoke with someone on the marketing team who told me proces would be rising for membership soon and when you buy, it locks in the current price. I also was able to lock in hurricane harbor, gold and parking at the regular price as that was the current promotion. No the monthly membership is #3 mor per month for what I already have. I appreciate the membership recognition of this new program.
From 184.108.40.206 on May 13, 2014 at 3:43 AM
As others have mentioned, the real benefit of Membership vs the Season pass is price lock in. This of course only works if it's a park you're going to go to year after year. I've had the "membership" at Busch Gardens for several years now at the Platinum level (similar to the 6F Gold) . With the price increases that have happened since I'm now paying $60/y less that if I was buying the same level seasons pass, and only $25/y more than buying the standard level season pass.
From Stephen Tuday on May 14, 2014 at 12:32 AM
I buy a season pass every year so membership has little to offer in my case. Additionally, my local park (Georgia) has typically offered its best price for the next year's season during Fright Fest which I usually buy then and be done with it. I cannot complain about the pricing - which has remained essentially static for years - especially since SFoG is adding a Hurricane Harbor water park (free with admission) and has also announced the addition of Holiday in the Park (first time since the 1993 season), extending the season by 26 days into January 2015. I really do wish the SF chain would get away from the 'Spirit Airlines' business model though. Passes should cost considerably more, but food and parking should be more affordable. And those mandatory ride lockers should either be complementary or removed altogether. And while they are at it, spend a few extra bucks to refresh the theming once in awhile.
Great article...

SolarCity to back up panels with Tesla batteries
The company leans on the electric-car maker for help providing power when the sun isn't shining.
One of the biggest bearish arguments against solar stocks has always been the simple fact that the sun doesn't always shine.
Solar City (SCTY) came up with a solution: Use big battery packs that will provide backup power while lowering electric bills. Elon Musk's Tesla Motors (TSLA) will supply the batteries to Solar City.
Musk is one of the original founders of SolarCity and sits on the board of directors. Musk's cousin, Lyndon Rive, is the company's CEO.
According to Businessweek, the batteries will be available to commercial customers at first. The company is conducting pilot tests with its residential customers in California.
It could be years before the use of a Tesla-powered battery pack would make sense for homes as it would for businesses. Many businesses are charged for the amount of electricity consumed, in addition to the level of electricity needed from a grid at any one time.
SolarCity's solar panels can lower the cost of electricity when the sun is shining brightly. Tesla-powered batteries will lower demand charges by 20 percent when the sun has set or it is cloudy outside.
If power goes out at a business, the Tesla-powered battery could kick in and run critical systems for several hours or even several days if it is sunny enough for the battery to recharge with solar electricity.
A typical commercial battery system will likely have a price tag over $100,000, based on a $1,000 per kilowatt-hour rate. SolarCity indicated it will offer the battery as a service for a monthly fee instead of charging customers.

Although we never really learn much about his life outside the movies, by the end of the film we are in awe of his work accomplishments.
"Cameraman" should be required viewing for anyone interested in becoming more visually literate in an ever-more-media-drenched age.
The lack of personal detail can be frustrating. Yet it suits its subject's gentlemanly reserve.
Even with its tightly cropped approach, this is still a fascinating look at a too-neglected craft.
Chiming in for this breezy tribute filled with tantalizing clips is a who's who of admirers, including Kirk Douglas, Lauren Bacall, John Mills and Kim Hunter.
McCall draws on Cardiff's life-long love of painting to adopt a similarly impressionistic style, brushing broad sweeps of anecdote and recollection about the cameraman on to his canvas to create a complex and emotionally engaging picture.
It's the images seen through Cardiff's lens that makes Cameraman such a joy to watch.
Cameraman gives us insight into how and why movies manage to swallow us up for two hours and make us think we understand places, eras, and feelings we've never experienced.
After years of DVD special features, even dedicated buffs may be somewhat blas� about a film that takes us behind the scenes to explore one man's career...but this is no ordinary documentary, and its subject is no ordinary filmmaker. Jack Cardiff was a...
Unfolds in a very liner fashion, and lacks a real spine, but full of some great anecdotes, and shines a light on one of cinema's quiet, under-recognized groundbreakers.
As captured by McCall, Cardiff has a palpable joie de vivre, an impish way with an anecdote and inventive solutions for capturing images.
The unsurpassed work of cinematographer Jack Cardiff is gloriously featured in one of the best filmmaking documentaries ever made.
This is strictly talking heads fare, broken up with movie clips, stills and home movies; fortunately, Jack Cardiff's ephemera are better than yours.
A respectful documentary about the man who is arguably the greatest cinematographer of all time, Jack Cardiff.
Audience Reviews for Cameraman: The Life And Work Of Jack Cardiff
Super Reviewer
So many more movie to watch.
Super Reviewer
And even then, the documentary can be maddeningly inaccurate. For example, it is nice to know Michael Powell was so fearless in the movies he made with Emeric Pressburger. However, "The Red Shoes" was not Powell's undoing. In reality, it turned out to be "Peeping Tom," made without Pressburger to hold him back.(Don't let that stop you from seeing it, though.) Plus, this documentary is framed by making a big deal about Cardiff's being belatedly given an honorary Oscar in 2001 but I looked it up and he won one for cinematography for "Black Narcissus" in 1947.

Kate Burton Stars in 'Hedda Gabler'
Hedda Gabler is a play first published in 1890 by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. The play premiered in 1891 in Germany to negative reviews, but has subsequently gained recognition as a classic of realism, nineteenth century theatre, and world drama. A 1902 production was a major sensation on Broadway starring Minnie Maddern Fiske and following its initial limited run was revived with the actress the following year.
The character of Hedda is considered by some critics as one of the great dramatic roles in theatre, the "female Hamlet," and some portrayals have been very controversial. Depending on the interpretation, Hedda may be portrayed as an idealistic heroine fighting society, a victim of circumstance, a prototypical feminist, or a manipulative villain.
Hedda's married name is Hedda Tesman; Gabler is her maiden name. On the subject of the title, Ibsen wrote:"My intention in giving it this name was to indicate that Hedda as a personality is to be regarded rather as her father's daughter than her husband's wife."

We're going to Tahoe! This year Volcano South adventure has doubled. It is like hitting the all you can eat desert buffet after a long ride, sweet goodness (without the calories). In addition to the magnificent Cascades we are going to bag the two most dramatic lakes in the west; Crater and Tahoe. Volcanoes South presents a dramatic illustration of the geographic diversity of the Cascade Range. A product of the region's intense volcanic legacy, the basalt cliffs into the Columbia below.
Cascades began to take shape approximately 15-17 million years ago. As the landscape rose, the Columbia River, with its vast area of drainage, began to carve its course through the basalt bedrock on its way to the Pacific, a process that was dramatically accelerated at the end of the last Ice Age when the Missoula Floods cut the dramatic walls that exist today. The result of those floods is the 80-mile gorge that at times reaches depths up to 4,000 feet. The many streams that drain the region's abundant snowmelt were left hanging by this cataclysmic event, and account for the 77 spectacular waterfalls that today pour hundreds of feet from the
This biking trip assembles at the Timberline Lodge, just to the east of Portland. Day 1 we roll downhill to Madras. Following an overnight at the Inn at Cross Keys Station, we'll continue south along the eastern foothills to the vibrant town of Bend. Day 2. On Day 3 we'll be biking moderately to Mt. Bachelor and continue along the quiet roads of the Cascade Lakes Scenic Byway to LaPine. We'll then van shuttle early morning of Day 4 to avoid an unexceptional stretch of roadway along US 97, and then it's back on the bikes as we ride to Crater Lake and a never-to-be-forgotten loop along the crater's rim. We will stop for a picnic lunch along the caldera.
We'll spend that night at the magnificent Crater Lake Lodge and a well-deserved layover day on Day 5. Don't expect to "veg" because hiking on Mount Scott and exploring the deepest lake in the United States is on the agenda. We will be enjoying the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway from just North of Crater Lake to Lassen National Park. Day 6 we start on the brink of the caldera, and then launch into an exciting downhill plunge along to Klamath Falls. On Day 7 we bid adieu to Oregon and hello to California. Our route will brings us to and through the greater metro area of Weed, California. We have a long day but a t-shirt stop in Weed is recommended. We end in Mount Shasta City; spectacular views of Mt Shasta will be our reward. On Day 8 we are headed to Old Station, CA that is just 13 miles from Lassen National Lassen National Park is next up on our agenda for Day 9, we will stop in Lassen and then travel beyond to Childs Meadow Resort. The gold rush community of Quincy is our destination on Day 10. There is still gold panning being done in the area, may be a gold ingot is in your future. The ride on Day 11 will pass through the Plumas and Tahoe National Forests where we finish in the cute little town of Truckee.
We are officially in the Lake Tahoe region. The proximity of the mountains and the lake create a unique situation in Truckee during the winter, it is frequently one of the coldest spots in the US, ranking up there with northern Minnesota. Day 12 brings us to Lake Tahoe; we will spend the evening in south lake so our route for the day will take us along the length of this natural wonder. Lake Tahoe has to be seen to really appreciate its size. Our last day of the trip is going to be spent enjoying Lake Tahoe on a hike or sitting This trip can be enjoyed individually or in tandem with the Volcanoes of the Cascades North Cycling Tour or as a segment of this year's Odyssey.

National Strategy for the Conservation of Australia's Biological Diversity
Department of the Environment, Sport and Territories, 1996
- Alien species
- A species occurring in an area outside its historically known natural range as a result of intentional or accidental dispersal by human activities (including exotic organisms, genetically modified organisms and translocated species).
- Biological diversity
- The variety of life forms: the different plants, animals and microorganisms, the genes they contain, and the ecosystems they form. It is usually considered at three levels: genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem diversity.
- Biological diversity technicians
- Trained in the elements of biological science and systematics, biological diversity technicians will assist professional scientists in surveys, sort survey material, process it by means of new rapid biological diversity assessment techniques, and prepare it for analysis by ecologists and description by taxonomists.
- Biomonitor
- A species that is sensitive to, and shows measurable responses to, changes in the environment, such as changes in pollution levels.
- Bioregion
- A territory defined by a combination of biological, social and geographic criteria rather than by geopolitical considerations; generally, a system of related, interconnected ecosystems.
- Biota
- All of the organisms at a particular locality.
- Close management measures
- Techniques used to assist the reintroduction and establishment of viable populations of a species into its natural habitat; for example, artificial nesting boxes.
- Conservation
- The protection, maintenance, management, sustainable use, restoration and enhancement of the natural environment.
- Ecologically sustainable use
- The use of a species or ecosystem within the capacity of the species, ecosystem and bioregion for renewal or regeneration.
- Ecosystem
- A dynamic complex of plant, animal, fungal, and microorganism communities and the associated non-living environment interacting as an ecological unit.
- Endemic
- Restricted to a specified region or locality.
- Exotic species
- see Alien species.
- Ex-situ conservation
- Conservation of species outside their natural habitat; for example, in zoos, botanic gardens and seed banks.
- Feral species
- A domesticated species that has become wild.
- Gene
- The functional unit of heredity; that part of the DNA molecule that encodes a single enzyme or structural protein unit.
- Genetically engineered organisms
- Organisms whose genetic make up has been altered by the insertion or deletion of small fragments of DNA in order to create or enhance desirable characteristics from the same or another species.
- Genetic material
- All or part of the DNA of a genome or all or part of an organism resulting from expression of the genome.
- Genetic products
- Identifiable chemical compounds from extracts, distillates, secretions and exudates of biological material that result from the expression of a gene, or set of genes governing a metabolic pathway, within an organism.
Using this definition, wood is a genetic material and any chemicals extracted from wood or trees (for example, a pharmaceutical chemical from bark, such as taxol or rubber) are genetic products.
- Genome
- The total genetic complement of the cell(s) of organisms – in eukaryotic cells, all the genes contained in a single set of chromosomes, and extra-nuclear DNA; in prokaryotic cells, circular DNA molecule(s) and any plasmids; in viruses, the RNA or DNA combined with the viral protein coat.
- Germplasm
- The genetic material that carries the inherited characteristics of an organism.
- Gondwana
- The southern supercontinent that started to break up about 150 million years ago, consisting of what are now South America, Africa, Antarctica, Arabia, Australia, India, Madagascar and New Zealand.
- Gorgonians
- Torny corals; for example, Sea Fans.
- Habitat
- The place or type of site in which an organism naturally occurs.
- Indicator species
- A species whose presence or absence is indicative of a particular habitat, community or set of environmental conditions.
- In-situ conservation
- Conserving species within their natural habitat.
- Introduced species
- see Alien species.
- Management for biological diversity
- Taking action aimed at the maintenance of biological diversity conservation and the environment, including protection, intervention and non-intervention.
- Minimum viable population
- The minimum number of individuals of a species in a given locality that could be expected to survive in the long-term.
- Native vegetation
- Any local indigenous plant community containing throughout its growth the complement of native species and habitats normally associated with that vegetation type or having the potential to develop these characteristics. It includes vegetation with these characteristics that has been regenerated with human assistance following disturbance. It excludes plantations and vegetation that has been established for commercial purposes.
- Protected area
- A protected area is defined in Article 2 of the International Convention on Biological Diversity as a 'geographically defined area which is designated or regulated and managed to achieve specific conservation objectives'.
- Protected area system characteristics
- With regard to the conservation of biological diversity within Australia's reserves system, comprehensiveness, adequacy and representativeness are defined thus:
comprehensiveness – the degree to which the full range of ecological communities and their biological diversity are incorporated within reserves;
adequacy – the ability of the reserve to maintain the ecological viability and integrity of populations, species and communities. Note that the interactions between reserves and surrounding areas should be taken into account in determining the reserve's ability to meet ecological viability and integrity criteria. Complementary management of adjacent areas can play a significant role. In some instances, however, the ecological viability of the protected area itself will be paramount;
representativeness – the extent to which areas selected for inclusion in the National Reserves System are capable of reflecting the known biological diversity and ecological patterns and processes of the ecological community or ecosystem concerned.
- Protected areas management
- The World Conservation Union is currently developing a protected categories area classification system. The Union's work, along with that of other relevant organisations, will be considered in the development of a classification system under the National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development and the National Reserve System commitment.
- Species
- A group of organisms capable of interbreeding freely with each other but not with members of other species.
- Taxon (pl. taxa)
- The named classification unit to which individuals or sets of species are assigned, such as species, genus and order.
- Threatened
- A species or community that is vulnerable, endangered or presumed extinct.
- Translocated species
- Native species introduced into suitable habitats within their own country, having been previously excluded from these habitats by natural barriers.
- Wilderness
- Land that, together with its plant and animal communities, is in a state that has not been substantially modified by, and is remote from, the influences of European settlement or is capable of being restored to such a state, and is of sufficient size to make its maintenance in such a state feasible.

Come experience a veritable feast of funk and freakishness featuring:
Planet Booty is a force to be reckoned with. Having started as a genre-defying concept album by brothers Nathan and Dylan Germick that blends electropop, sci-fi synths, space funk and booty bass, the project has evolved into a live show of epic proportions. The 6-piece ensemble fuses electronics, drums, percussion, horns, marimba, guitars, and soulful singing (with a splash of choreography and theatrics) to create a hyper-charged and highly entertaining dance party experience.
San Francisco's very own silly electroacoustic band produces face-melting dance beats with melodies both whimsical and a little creepy. Join Thundermouse, the Minister of Purpleganda and Graham as they warn you of alien invasions, get down with stegosaurus and leave you boneless. This unique and ecletic trio will freestyle, bow and blast you into the future where (spoiler alert!) there are also dinosaurs.

2014 BMW 3-Series diesel: 45 mpg highway?
New model unveiled in New York, along with a plug-in hybrid.
2014 BMW 328d
Diesels are a tough sell in the United States. But demand is growing.
Twenty-five percent of BMW X5 crossovers sold in the United States are diesel, said Ludwig Willisch, CEO of BMW North America, during a press conference at the 2013 New York Auto Show. The technology is an integral part of BMW's ambitious strategy to meet more stringent U.S. corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards.
BMW unveiled a new 3-Series variant in New York that puts diesel technology in the heart of its lineup. The 3-Series Gran Turismo, first shown at the Geneva Motor Show, made its North American debut in New York as well, along with the Concept Active Tourer plug-in hybrid.
At the forefront of BMW's efforts to increase fuel efficiency are the groundbreaking i3 and i8 electric vehicles. They are on track to launch later this year and in early 2014, respectively, Willisch said.

2014 BMW 328d
What is it?
A new diesel version of BMW's compact 3-Series.
What's hot?
BMW has offered a diesel engine in the 3-Series before, but it was a 6-cylinder. The 328d offers a more efficient 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that BMW says should deliver an estimated 45 mpg highway. No word yet on mileage estimates for city driving.
The new engine puts out 180 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque. It will have the same urea injection exhaust treatment as seen on other BMW diesels in order to meet U.S. emissions standards.
The 328d will be offered in both sedan and wagon body styles. Rear-wheel drive will be standard, with all-wheel drive offered as an option. The 328d wagon will be available only with all-wheel drive.
What's not?
BMW's new 8-speed automatic will be the only transmission offered. It is more efficient than a manual and therefore the best fit for a car focused on maximizing fuel economy, a BMW rep said. We understand the logic, but not offering a manual in a 3-Series seems like sacrilege.
How much and when?
The 328d will have a "small premium" over the 328i, which uses a turbocharged 4-cylinder gasoline engine. Production will begin in July, and sales are set to kick off in July or August.
MSN Autos' verdict?
The new BMW 328d looks like a win-win, offering better fuel economy than the gas-powered 328i on which it's based, without sacrificing performance. The key will be its price; BMW diesels have historically carried a steep premium.

Frustrated with my weight loss over the past couple of weeks. I have gained back several pounds lately, so I opted for some Atkins Advantage protein shakes as a meal replacement. I plan on drinking one for breakfast (I haven't been eating breakfast), as well as a shake for lunch if I can manage it. The shakes have only 1 g fiber, so I've also decided to add a serving of Benefiber to my shakes, to boost up fiber and protein in one meal. I haven't been taking fiber, so I think the Benefiber will give me the boost I need, and the shakes are easy, so I don't have to fret over my next meal. I just want to know the community's thoughts on this....good idea/bad idea etc...

Check out Jay Robb protein shakes as a meal replacement.
The Atkins shake stuff is overly processed an no better than slim fast. I know that Dr. Atkins is rolling in his grave at what Atkins Nutritionals has done to his practice and company.

What's so bad about Slim FAst? They were on the same shelf next to each other - I was going to buy the SF but saw there were 18 g of sugar compared to 1 in Atkins....I'm just trying to lose weight. I don't care about muscle at this point.

I am not talking about muscle either. I whole idea of losing weight should be to get WHOLE food nutrition and Slim Fast nor the Atkins shakes will provide that.
Slim Fast is full of sugar and other chemicals that will be stored as toxins in the body. The Atkins shakes are more sugar-free, but have artificial sweeteners.
If you are only looking to lose weight and don't care about health, then Atkins is the better of the two.
If you are looking to improve health, along with lose weight, then I recommend neither one and look at a whole foods shake as a meal replacement such as Jay Robb.

Hi, I can say that if you eat or intake 30g of protein in the first 30 mins you wake up that will actually help you loose weight and will help you get over the afternoon slump as well. I was watching Dr. Oz the other day. Skipping breakfast is one of the worse things to do. I will start by drinking protein shakes in the morning as well. Good luck with it!

I tried to eat 30 g of protein - I watched the show also - and gained a pound the next day. Not to mention it was a ton of food to eat first thing. Mine only has 18 g of protein. That'll do.

I don't think we are talking about LIVING Off of the shakes. I am starting atkins induction next week and it is near impossible to carry chicken breasts and lettuce in my purse when I am running around for work. A shake helps stave off hunger until you can "chew" your protein after you cook it. I don't think ANYONE would even want to just drink 3 shakes a day. ugh.

If it doesn't have at least 25 grams of Protein then skip it. Protein is what keeps you fuller longer and is key to dieting. You have lots of options from powder to premade shakes. Powder suchs as Pure Protein and Jay Robb can be added to cereal, oatmeal, eggs, yogurt, cottage or you can make a shake or smoothie from it. Pre-made shakes such as Premier or Pure Protein and Muscle Milk light are great for on the go.
I do Premier Protein, 30gr protein, 11 oz, 160 calories, 3gr fat, 5gr carbs and 1 gr sugar. Slim Fast, Atkins and Special K cannot match those numbers.
Just be advised when increasing your protein you should also consider increasing your fiber to prevent clogs! A scoop of Benefiber with water will do ya! Also, water is also very important, 64oz a day!

Hi Rworthy,
(I haven't been eating breakfast),
This is where you are going wrong. While you sleep your metabolism slows down, breakfast is important as it kick starts your metabolism in the morning. If you skip breakfast your body will be naturally burning less energy until your lunch.
I tried to eat 30 g of protein - I watched the show also - and gained a pound the next day. Not to mention it was a ton of food to eat first thing. Mine only has 18 g of protein. That'll do.
Weighing yourself can not always be accurate as at some points you hay have food/water still in your system, you might not of been to the toilet for awhile. Also if your going to make a change to your diet make sure you do it long enough to see what happends (a week or two) and measure the results.

I"m using the Atkins protein shakes but also the EAS AdvantEdge Light protein shakes, which have higher protein but also low carbs. I've been on a low carb diet for a while now and have lost maybe 35 pounds, but I am getting very tired of eggs for breakfast and meat for dinner, etc. So I've started having an Atkins shake for breakfast, an Atkins bar now and then during the day, and then a high protein low carb dinner. Maybe another Atkins shake for dessert.
The most important use of the shakes for me is to have them around me at work, in my car and at night, so when I am tempted to reach for something bad, I just drink a shake instead. They are pretty tasty, and sweet, and they curb my appetite. So if I work late, I'll just reach for one and drink it in the car on the way home instead of veering toward McDonalds.
Also the Atkins shakes and bars and little snacks like Slim Jims or olives or nuts can be used as mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks if you want to try to eat 5 meals a day.
I don't think it makes sense to use this stuff as meal replacements for a long period of time, but it is a welcome break from eggs and bacon and cheeseburgers without buns, and steak and chicken, etc., which can become tiring after several weeks. And there is no question that you can stay in ketosis and lose weight with this stuff as long as you stay within the carb limits. I do agree, however, that on balance I would prefer something more natural and without artificial sweeteners.
The convenience factor of just grabbing this in the morning, or during the day, or at night for "dessert" however, cannot be overestimated, especially when you are feeling weak and want to grab for something bad or high carb. I regard these shakes and bars to be good tools in the fight, but don't go overboard with them. Salads, meat, macadamia nuts, some hard cheeses, non-starchy vegetables, etc. should make up the main part of the diet IMHO, and these artificial items should just be accessories that expand the scope of what you can eat from time to time.

I use Shaklee's Cinch protien shake mixed with water. It has 16 grams of protien and only 190 calories. I have it early morning and then have a mid morning snack like a banana or yogurt. Love it. I am definetly less hungry the days I have it.

I'm only 15 and as trying to lose weight I've been searching for healthy alternatives around the house and have recently discovered Atkins shakes. I find them to be a great meal replacement for breakfast very low calorie (only 160) and its great for me for mornings because it keeps me full and it's better than not eating breakfast so these shakes get my metabolism going and get a great start to the day. Overall I luv these shakes and think they're great for one meal replacement or snack (they keep me full for around 5-6 hours) but not good for living off of for 3 meals a day.

Fraternity honors Dr. King with wreath
Held annually for over 20 years to honor Dr. Martin Luther King's Legacy, the Iota Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. will continue their tradition of a commemorative Wreath Laying Ceremony at Kelly Ingram Park, 600-711 5th Ave N, tomorrow, January 20, 2014 from 10:00 AM until 10:30 AM. This event precedes and aligns with the Leadership and Service Council (LSC) campus-wide initiative, "MLK Day of Service".
In 1963, while incarcerated for defying a blanketed injunction against non-violent protest, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. used tissue paper and a smuggled newspaper to write the seminal work "Letters From a Birmingham Jail." Dr. King, who was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity (also the oldest collegiate NPHC fraternity), is remembered by his brothers by a wreath annually laid at the base of his statue in Kelly Ingram Park. In addition to the laying of the wreath, members of the fraternity will recite inspirational poems, give encouraging speeches, and march to his statue in his remembrance.
In the past, the program has attracted community leaders, city officials, and state representatives such as Birmingham City Councilmen Jay Roberson and Roderick Royal, and Congresswoman Terri Sewell. The event has not been exclusive to the Alpha fraternity, as many of the "Divine 9", a term to used to refer to the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) (a collaborative organization of nine historically African American, international Greek lettered fraternities and sororities), have been active participants in the ceremony. The featured speaker this year will be Cameron Thomas, a member of the fraternity, a senior majoring in Religion, and the President of SGA at Samford University.
Sean Perry, a senior student at UAB majoring in kinesiology, and also the Community Service Chair for the Iota Nu chapter, says the event inspires him to new heights of excellence. He remarked, "Being an Alpha man myself, it makes me think, 'wow, he really did this.'
"It pushes me," he continues, "if he took initiative, even in the midst of those circumstances, that means I can take initiative to serve the community, that I can take initiative to excel in my classes."
Believing the event is beneficial for the student body, Perry encourages his classmates to attend the 30 minute ceremony, noting that "it offers a chance for reflection on the work and mission of Dr. King, to really appreciate and acknowledge him."
"As a UAB student in the city of Birmingham, we interact with the stomping grounds of the movement everyday," he said, finally stating that "Dr. King is interwoven in our history."

Students at the University of Virginia head back to school Monday and a new Android app could make it easier for them to find their classes.
It's called "Campus Nav", or at UVA, "Grounds Nav".
Students enter their course schedules and click on a course for a map or step by step directions to that building. The app even has street view so students can make sure they've made it to the right place once they arrive.
Third-year UVA student Daniel Nizri created the app.
"With a new semester of classes, new buildings, if you don't know your way around it should be an easy way to figure it out and first years would always appreciate it because I remember being lost a bunch of times not knowing where buildings were," Nizri said.
It already has 500 downloads.
He also made versions for Penn State, Bucknell, Northeastern, Boston College, and Tufts.
Niziri plans to make an iPhone version this semester.

Megan Hilty is a well respected, award winning theatre and TV actress with very good morals, a good heart and a large capacity for friendship and love.
Monchele has never even been confirmed as real. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Doesn't mean you can go around bashing other talented people.
So the fact that some of you are calling Megan a "blonde hooker" for donating $5000 to a great cause and getting a peck from Cory is the stupidest bullshit I've EVER heard. Like, embarassingly bad.
Take a minute and reflect on yourselves. What have you done for the world today?

Washington • After President Barack Obama gives his annual State of the Union address to Congress next Tuesday, Sen. Mike Lee will get the national spotlight, offering the tea party response from the National Press Club.
Lee, R-Utah, is expected to speak after the official Republican reaction.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"For the Tea Party movement, 2014 is not just about taking back the Senate, but it is also about putting forward conservative ideas that will allow for America to prosper," said Amy Kremer, the chairwoman of the Tea Party Express, an umbrella group for the conservative movement. "Senator Mike Lee has been both a tea-party hero for supporters across the nation, and a conservative leader in the upper chamber. He has introduced tangible policy solutions to some of America's biggest problems."
Lee faced criticism last year for his steadfast support of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and the effort to tie the federal budget to killing funding for the Affordable Care Act, a move that resulted in a 16-day government shutdown. Since then, Lee has been trying to offer an alternative version of how the government should approach various subjects from poverty to spending.
Lee's speech may be carried by some networks after Obama's address and the Republican response — CNN carried the tea party address last year while others opted against it — but it also will be streamed at teapartyexpress.org.
Lee, R-Utah, follows in the steps of Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who gave last year's tea party reaction, former Godfather Pizza CEO Herman Cain's 2012 speech and Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., who offered the first such response in 2011.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- The Fort Myers Miracle baseball team and its employees fell victim to an insurance scam and are now looking to press charges.
Miracle employees discovered that the policy was cancelled in December of 2011 due to non payment when they were notified that their insurance was not covering their medical bills, according to police reports.
The insurance broker for the team has been collecting money, but has failed to pay the premiums on the account, and the money is unaccounted for. The suspect has been working as an insurance broker for seven years and is licensed in Florida, but moved to Missouri last year and is currently living and working there. When confronted about the issue, the suspect sent a check, which came back insufficient funds.
The broker works with two other baseball teams in addition to the Miracle; the St. Paul Saints and the Charkeston River Dogs. After working with insurance providers, all teams have re-instated full coverage for employees.

CT Brain Perfusion Scans Safety Investigation: Initial Notification
MedSun: Newsletter #44, January 2010
FDA MedWatch Safety Alert
The FDA, working with state and local health authorities, has identified at least 50 additional patients who were exposed to excess radiation of up to eight times the expected level during their CT perfusion scans. These cases so far involve more than one manufacturer of CT scanners. Some of these patients reported hair loss or skin redness following their scans. High doses of radiation can cause cataracts and increase the risk of some forms of cancer. On the basis of its investigation to date, the FDA is providing interim recommendations for imaging facilities, radiologists, and radiologic technologists to help prevent additional cases of excess exposure.

Check out this personality!! :) She's ALL me...and all mine!! :)
My dad says she's my "mini-me"...I think he's right!
|Photo by: Jamie Zanotti Photography
It all worked out though!!
The way I know to take on a project is if there is peace in my home and if both my husband and I agree to it together as a team. Then, if after I've done a project, everything is still okay, then that was good!!? But, if I am picking up the pieces from my kids, my husband and my home, if the kids are crazy and having bad days, then that's not worth a cake project!! So, for me, it's taken time to figure out what I'm capable of...and how big the projects can be and what my family is okay with. You can't do more than one or two things really really well...and I'm realizing motherhood is one of those two things!! LOL!!!
Now, for you moms who might have older kids and feel like you might have missed your window...you haven't!!! God is the God of second chances and He longs to help you start afresh today! You become the woman He wants you to be and you get on your knees and pray for your kids. Show them kindness and love...for that leads to repentance. Make those changes and you will see fruit. It might take a season, but God's promises fail not. They are new every morning for great is HIS faithfulness...not ours...His! :) Don't be discouraged...that's the enemy. Fight for your kids, simplify your lives and just LOVE love love on those precious kids and you'll see a turn around.

The absence of allusions to Israel's history and to great prophetic themes like the covenant does not mean the wisdom authors were unaware of them. Rather, their aim was to apply the principles of Israel's covenant faith to everday attitudes, actions, and relationships.
The prime mission of Proverbs is to spell out strikingly, memorably, and concisely just what it means to be fully at God's disposal.
As effective as the proverbs were as guide to success, they could be misleading if viewed as magical sayings which would always and automatically bring results.
