The panelists included three accomplished women from diverse backgrounds: Mrs. Najah Bazzy, Director of Transcultural Services and Human Diversity for Home Health Care Partners, Ms. Fatina Salaheddine, CEO of Al-Sahafa Newspaper in Cleveland, Ohio and Ms. Dalal Delany, a Women's Studies student and women's activist from the Kingdom of Bahrain.

By Simon Wesson, Reporter
Saturday, June 30, 2012
WHAT do Bing Crosby, President Gerald Ford, Bob Hope and WGC's very own favourite sporting son, Sir Nick Faldo, all have in common?
They have all held the title of Golf Ambassador.
This week 54-year-old Sir Nick was named the 2012 Ambassador – a title which is given "to a person who has fostered the ideals of the game on an international level and whose concern for others extends beyond the golf course".
The six-time Major winner told the WHT it was a "great honour" to be listed alongside what he described as "such important names in our sport".
"I'm especially proud that this award really takes into account the work of the Faldo Series and our efforts to grow golf and opportunity through golf around the world," said the former Sir Frederic Osborn pupil.
"I am hoping someone will buy me a doughnut at Simmons when I'm home for The Open to celebrate this and my birthday. It's still one of my favourite spots!"
Sir Nick, now serves as lead analyst for CBS and Golf Channel. He is involved in more than 50 projects as part of Faldo Design, and the Faldo Series has evolved into one of the premier programs for aspiring young golfers.
He will be honored in a ceremony at Firestone Country Club on August 1 in conjunction with the 2012 Bridgestone Invitational.
"We are pleased to add Nick Faldo's name to the illustrious list of Ambassador of Golf honorees," said PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem, on behalf of the International Federation of PGA Tours.
"Few players are held in such high regard, and Nick has earned that respect through a career resume that boasts six Major championships, an unmatched Ryder Cup record and a lengthy run as the No. 1 player in the world.
"He's now an ambassador off the course, known to millions of golf fans as one of the leading voices in television commentary, and his work in developing the Faldo Series has impacted thousands of aspiring young golfers.
"We look forward to honouring Nick at the Bridgestone Invitational in August."

Assemblywoman Sandy Galef announced today that the New York State multi-modal funding program grants have been awarded in her 90th Assembly District. This funding supports projects that benefit public roads, sidewalks, and infrastructure improvements related to any form of transportation.
"I am thrilled that these improvements to our highways and byways can begin," commented Galef. "These repairs and upgrades help my constituents as well as visitors passing through or patronizing the area, which is why I feel so good about the allocations of this significant funding to my district."
The $400,000 granted to the 90th Assembly district will be allocated as follows:
- $50,000 to Peekskill for the Riverview & Maple curb;
- $10,000 to Nelsonville for drainage on Healy Road;
- $50,000 to Putnam Valley for blacktop on Kenneth Drive/Boswell Road;
- $25,000 to Cold Spring for Route 9D drainage and safety;
- $20,000 to Croton-on-Hudson for South Riverside/129 repairs;
- $50,000 to Cortlandt for King's Ferry Road; and
- $50,000 to Philipstown for the South Bear Mountain Pass.
Briarcliff, Ossining, Buchanan and Kent are also expected to receive grants in the future as part of this multi-modal funding program cycle.
During 2007, work was already done on Route 9 in Ossining and Briarcliff as a result of Galef's efforts, and more is expected in the next few years. Additional state road work in the area includes the new off-ramp from Route 9A south to the Taconic Parkway. Other infrastructure improvements in the Assemblywoman's district include train station renovations in Ossining and Scarborough, and $230,000 for replacement of the ferry dock in Ossining which supports Metro North's Haverstraw-Ossining Ferry Rail link.
For more information, please contact the Assemblywoman's office at 914-941-1111.

GeneralThere sure is no shortage of "simple writing" apps for the Mac out there. Just recently we've reviewed (and praised) apps like Grandview and Free, and we've also had a few roundups where we've taken to compare all the options out there in the "distraction-free writing" app field.
Today we're presenting to you an app that could fit in with any of the mentioned above, but it has a little twist to it: it imitates the look of Mac OS's Launchpad to create a very cool native-looking app. It's appropriately called Launch Write; want to check it out?
Our giveaway is now closed, and congrats to Asaf Bendor, Sean Sykes, ck, Dimitrios, and Guy Einy, our random winners of this giveaway. Stay tuned; we've got new giveaways all the time!
Keeping up with your bills can be so difficult, and it can be rather stressful to know how badly one missed bill can affect you. That's why Chronicle is such an exciting app. It's designed to make it easy to remember to pay your bills, with push notifications to make sure you don't forget, and an integrated browser so you can pay bills without even leaving the app.
Chronicle has been recently updated with retina graphics and more. We love it in our latest review, and think you'll love it too. That's why we're excited to have 5 copies to giveaway for free to our readers!
Tweet to Enter
If you'd like to win a free copy of Chronicle, all you have to do is click the link below and send out the resulting tweet (or just copy and paste), then leave a comment below with a link to your tweet. That's it! We'll then randomly pick 5 winners when we close the contest.
We'll announce the winners next week on September 12th, so hurry and get your entry in today!

If you have a Mac, chances are you didn't even consider other computers because you wanted one that runs OS X. Apple makes great hardware, but it's the great software with great hardware that makes a Mac. Even still, there's many times you might need to run another operating system. From running an Access database for work in Windows or testing out a Linux server config locally, there's many reasons you still might want to run another OS on your Mac.
Thankfully, there's many choices. There's the built-in Boot Camp, which gives you a free way to run other operating systems directly on your Mac. Then, there's a number of virtualization tools to let you run other OSes on top of OS X, including the newly updated VMware Fusion and Parallels desktop, as well as the free open source VirtualBox.
That's why we're curious: how do you run other operating systems on your Mac? Or are you just fine only using OS X? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
Have you been staring at the same drab wallpaper for weeks? Are you starving for some new wallpapers and backgrounds. Do you need something to spruce up your iPad and show off the gorgeous screen? Look no further.
Here are some fantastic wallpaper roundups, there's something for everybody!
Mac apps have gotten away from being highly customizable, sticking instead to a curated set of defaults that often lean towards clutter-free interfaces like most writing apps, or the skeuomorphic designs Apple prefers today. But the highly customizable apps aren't gone completely.
Today, we've had the chance to interview the team behind Calendar Plus, a highly customizable calendar app for the Mac that's been surprisingly popular on the App Store. Read on to hear their thoughts about developing for the Mac and designing customizable apps. (more…)
This week has been yet another busy one in the world of app news so without further ado, let's get started!
Happy reading! (more…)
We'd like to say a special Thank you! to our weekly sponsors from the past month, for sponsoring our site and for the great apps they make. If you would like to feature your app on our site with an advertisement, be sure to check out our available slots on BuySellAds or register for a weekly sponsorship for your app.
If you haven't already checked out our the great apps that sponsored our site last month, be sure to check them out now!
Designing user interfaces can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be. ANTETYPE includes pre-designed UI elements for OS X and iOS, as well as Android and Windows, so you can design customized apps that look great any platform. It features a smart layout and responsive widgets that make it quick to apply your changes to your whole app design. It might be just what you're looking for to speed up your app design process.
Onde iTunes Converter
If you've purchased iTunes music for years, chances are you have some older songs with DRM protection. Rather than pay per song to get rid of the DRM, you could just get Onde iTunes Converter to quickly convert all of your songs to unprotected formats. Best of all, you can use it to convert any audio or video you have into the audio format you want, so you can play the music you own anywhere.
The leading Mac-only image editor continues to lead the way with innovative new features a year after winning an Apple Design Award. Pixelmator now supports iCloud, includes retina display graphics, and a host of new image effects that make it easy to tweak your pictures. You can now make a miniature scene and more with only a couple clicks in Piexlmator's new effects browser. It's easily the best alternate to Photoshop on the Mac.
It's tough to stay on top of all of your bills and make sure they're paid on time, but paying your bills on time can be crucial to maintaining your credit score. That's where Chronicle comes in. It makes it easy to remember when your bills need paid, with push notifications and recurring bill support. Its latest version even has retina display graphics, so it'll look great on any Mac!
And a special thanks to you, our Mac.AppStorm.net readers, for reading and sharing our articles. We couldn't do it without you!
Our giveaway is now closed, and congrats to Dimitrios Savvopoulos, timlou, and Rafta for winning a copy of Scrawl! Be sure to stay tuned for our upcoming giveaways in the future!
We're always looking for better ways to take notes. There's so many things to think about, Post-it notes just don't cut it, and even Mountain Lion's built-in Notes app doesn't fit what most of us need. We need a simple place to put notes and quickly find them again, no matter where we're working.
Scrawl is a great app for that. It's a note taking app that lives in your menubar, one we were excited about when we reviewed it earlier this year. Since then, it's gotten even better, with iCloud integration, native keyboard shortcut and Share Sheet support, and more. It's a great way to quickly jot down notes in your menubar and find them whenever you need them.
Scrawl normally costs $1.99, but we've got 3 copies to giveaway for free to our readers. If you'd like to win a copy, just leave a comment below telling us why you'd love to start using it. For an extra credit, share the giveaway on Twitter, Facebook, or App.net, and then include a link to your update in your comment, and you'll get two entries in the giveaway.
Our contest will close on midnight Monday, September 3rd, so hurry and get your entry in!

eBooks have become an important part the tech world these days. Many of us have dedicated eBook readers or tablets with eBook apps. I personally read more books than ever, but just a couple weeks ago purchased the first paper book I've purchased in years. Today, Amazon's making more from Kindle books than hardcovers and Apple's even had the DOJ inquiring into its eBook business practices. It's an infant industry, but one that's growing by leaps and bounds.
Today, you can buy almost any book you can think of and read it on your Mac or other devices in seconds. The Kindle app is ubiquitous thanks to Amazon's extensive library of titles, but many indie publishers sell DRM free eBooks that you can read in Preview or apps like Calibre. Apple still hasn't brought iBooks to the Mac, but many of us hope they'll release a Mac version of it eventually.
I personally read PDF eBooks in Preview and Kindle books more than anything on my Mac, but I'm curious what you use to read books on your Mac. We'd love to hear your thoughts about your favorite book apps in the comments below!
I don't know about you, but my music gets really old sometimes. When I'm looking for new music, I often struggle with what app to use. I tend to default to web apps, but I really wanted to find some various Mac apps that I can use to find new and exciting music. I tried a number of different applications and found a pretty decent variety.
Some apps on the list are simply a way to utilize a web app via the desktop. Others are completely unique applications which allow you to discover new music in unique and innovative ways. The list includes just a few of the many applications out there, as I tried to stay away from including too many applications which simply provide a way to play an online service via a desktop application. Follow me beyond the jump to learn more about some of the cool apps I found to discover new music.

Gundam AGE ED is awesome.
This site is lonely during the week because we all have a 3 day break here from releasing. So have the Gundam AGE ED song "Hero in You" by Minami Kuribayashi. I think it's the best OP or ED song of the new season. Shoulda been the OP, cause the OP sucks.

We had heard great things about McCloud from some friends and wanted to try something different than Lake Tahoe. The drive was less than 5 hours and when we arrived late, Toad Hollow was waiting with lights bright and warm. The house is perfect for our 3 kids and lab, Gizmo; clean, well appointed and just plain cute. Every morning, my husband and I walked into town and had breakfast at the White Mountain Cafe, before the kids were awake - perfect! Best of all, we were on the ski slopes in 15 minutes with no traffic or parking hassles - during Ski Week! This is a true gem. Thanks Lindy - we'll be back!Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: I was just sure that you would fall in love with the area, and I'm so glad that you did! Your summer experience will be completely different. Be sure to ask me about how to get to some of the beautiful little mountain lakes, and some of our favorite hiking trails. We look forward to sharing more of our little piece of heaven.

This was our family's first time visiting the Mt. Shasta area. Toad Hollow was the perfect rental for us! It is homey, bright and inviting. Our kids had a blast playing in the snowy winter wonderland in the front and back yards! The owners have done a great job renovating the house – the perfect balance of charm and comfort. We also appreciated the short 10 minute drive to Mt.Shasta Ski Park. We will definitely be back to explore the area more!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you very much. The Shasta Cascade Region is definitely one of California's little hidden gems. We look forward to having you and your family back to discover even more about the area. ~Lindy

Our two families stayed here to enjoy skiing on Mt. Shasta. We arrived to such a pretty scene at Toad Hollow with cheerfully lit Christmas Tree and other lights which all shone on the porch surrounded by snow. Inside we were greeted by a toasty warm cozy house and wine! All was clean and welcoming and suited all our needs. In between the snowy clouds, Mt. Shasta would rear its majestic head in the view from our porch. Lindy the owner could not have been more helpful, caring or efficient and truly did more than might be expected. Judy who cleans was amazingly kind and timely with the cleaning. We would recommend this home to anyone, winter or summer. In the winter with snow it's just adorable, as is McCloud when it's all white! We dined at the newly opened restaurant in the McCloud Hotel and the hostess and food were just great. Skiing/snowboarding at Mt. Shasta is easy and reasonably priced - we had a great fun on our third time at these slopes.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you so much! We hope that you will have a chance to enjoy the area during one of the other beautiful seasons. ~ Lindy

We loved our time at the house and the owners were very helpful. We also had local help there. The house is nice and warm and additional heaters were provided to room that didn't have direct heat. The single beds almost too comfortable for my back. 3 Showers were enough because we had 10 people over. Thank you for making it possible for us to have such a joyous time together in family. My family came from another country and badly wanted to see snow. We had plenty of that and a great white christmas...Owner response: We are so happy that your time in McCloud went so well. We would love to have you back again, anytime. I can't promise that amount of snow again, but can assure you that the Shasta Cascade Region is always beautiful. Happy New Year!

This sparkling clean vintage home is decorated and refurbished with the most luxurious beds and appliances, and the most tasteful decor from mid-century times. You have to go experience this step back in time---it's very satisfying to one's soul. The Fay Family has made this home a labor of love to share with others, and the communication with Lindy Fay was just amazing....I felt like she was my friend from the first phone call. As we arrived, we found a bottle of wine awaiting us and home-made cookies were delivered in the hour by a local gentleman who also brought organic buffalo treats for our dog, Rhonda. What a nice touch! From the Mountains to the Waterfalls to the Townsfolk---Friendly and Helpful and Welcoming....this quaint li'l town with Water fresh from the mountain...untouched by any chemicals....has so many wonderful places to see. The quaint historical Mercantile with an Old-Fashioned Candy Store, with original Old-Fashioned Wooden Sidewalks.....what an experience. So many old buildings from the early days when this town was a booming lumber mill...you don't see these anymore. We toured a few, and were blown away. The three seperate waterfalls that await---just beautiful. We even had one woman, as we stopped and asked directions, invite us to "Cow Camp" to come eat with them and swim in one "giant waterhole" with everyone---an event that didn't happen as we had to leave town, but next time, we will go find that waterhole! So, I hope I can convince you that....... You'll love Toad Hollow!!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, people with disabilities, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you Robin! We are so happy that you and your family had such a great time, and that you were able to experience both the charm and the beauty of the area. We would be honored to have you back any time.

We had a wonderful stay in heaven...peaceful, clean, comfy, perfect! This house is in an excellent location, right downtown McCloud with a beautiful view of Mt. Shasta right out the door. The house is amazingly big and is in top shape. The property manager not only stopped by on the first day to answer questions, offer tourist help but a plateful of yummy cookies baked by his wife. Upon reserving, I spoke with the lovely lady owner who was warm and bubbly offering suggestions of places to visit surely conveying her love for the area. With all there is to do in the area, we drove to Burney Falls (40 mins) and had a picnic. Otherwise, relaxing in the house was also our favorite thing to do.Did you find this review helpful?

We had a wonderful stay at Toad Hollow. It was perfect for our 2 families, with plenty of room yet with a cozy feel. It was clean and cheerful, and a great base to explore Mount Shasta (downhill skiing, cross country, and sledding all nearby).Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.
Owner response: Thank you so much. I'm so happy that the weather decided to cooperate for your stay. If you decide to visit the area another time, we would love to have you back.

text: I'm new to the PS3 scene and did quite a bit of research on which ps3's are capable of being downgraded and so on. I was looking for one with a firmware below 3.55 so that I would be able to avoid the hassle of downgrading/flashing. I just bought the PS3 Sports Champions Bundle with the 320 gb PS3 slim Cech 2501B. There are two types of these, but I purchased the one in the White packaging (I think it's the first one to come out/older one.) Out of the box it came with OFW 3.40. This site was extremely useful when it came to finding the correct one to buy, so I thought I would just give a heads up if anyone is interested and still looking to get their hands on a older bundle guaranteed to be under 3.55. Be careful of the newer one in the blue package, I'm not sure what it comes with out of the box. Hope this is able to help someone out.

Fife Regatta
The third Fife Regatta took place on the Clyde in June and photographer Marc Turner was there.
The event was a celebration of the designs of WM. Fife and Sons who designed and built classic sailing yachts at their yard in Fairlie around the turn of the century .
Marc has produced a calendar of some of the best shots he took that week. It has been designed in a simple and elegant manner ,sympathetic to the timelessly elegant lines of these classic yachts .

RMS Viper
The Viper was built at the Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Co's yard in Govan in 1906 and was 315 feet in length. She had three steam turbines powering the triple screws, making her one of the company's fastest ships with a top speed of 22 knots. The steamer worked the Ardrossan-Belfast route from 1906 to 1914.
The ship served as a troop carrier in the English Channel during the First World War but returned to operation on her pre-war route in 1919. However the unrest in Ireland resulted in the decline in passenger traffic with Scotland and Viper was sold to the Isle of Man Steam Packet Co in 1920 and renamed Snaefell.

Norna passing the Gantocks.
The Gantocks is a small cluster of rocks which lies at the mouth of West Bay, south of Dunoon in the Firth of Clyde, and is marked by an illuminated beacon which was built c. 1886. The beacon is partnered by the Cloch Lighthouse located on Cloch Point to the east, and the two were deliberately designed to have significantly different characters to avoid confusion. The character of a lighthouse or beacon describes the colour of the light, and the timing of its light and dark periods.
The Gantocks beacon tower has a height of 44 feet, with the focal plane of the light at 39 feet. The light is red, and flashes once every 6 seconds, with a range 6 nautical miles.

The French minehunter Cephee seen at Faslane june 2006.
A joint venture of the Navies of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands, the Tripartite class of minehunters were conceived in the 1970s and built in the 1980s. France built the mine-hunting equipment, Belgium provided the electronics, and the Netherlands constructed the propulsion train. France and the Netherlands originally bought 15, with Belgium buying 10. All three countries' Tripartite ships contribute to NATO as part of MCMFORNORTH, or Mine Counter Measures Force North ("North" to distinguish itself from the Mediterraean minehunting fleet). Very expensive to repair, and operate.

[Tutorial] Custom Firmware 3.60 M33 Installation Procedure
By: DarkPacMan77
There is no PSP unbricker for Slim PSP units at this time.
The Pandora's Battery will NOT unbrick a Slim PSP.
Because of this, neither myself, nor any member of PSPBrew.com,
will be responsible for any damages that may occur from
the use of this hack, eventual, or otherwise.
What is this?
This is the first custom firmware that has been made for the new Slim PSP systems. This is done by combining a previous method, the Pandora's Battery, with a "new method" of writing custom IPL's in order to bring custom firmware opportunities to the Slim PSP. "IPL" stands for, "Initial Program Load". The availability to make your own custom IPL means that you are able to decide what "boots", or loads first, onto the PSP. In this case, the custom IPL is instructed to load a tool that takes kernel information from firmwares 3.40 and 3.50 and, in turn, makes a custom firmware out of the firmwares 3.40, 3.50, and 3.60 (loaded stock on the first generation of Slim PSP units).
What you will need
1. A Slim PSP (must have firmware 3.60)
2. A "fat" PSP capable of homebrew
3. Firmware 3.40
4. Firmware 3.50
5. Custom Firmware 3.60 M33
6. A "magic memory stick" and a "JigKick Battery" made by following this tutorial for the Pandora's Battery Hack.
Installation Procedure
1.) You must first follow this tutorial for creating a "JigKick" and "magic memory stick".
2.) You now need to modify the "magic memory stick". So, on the "fat" PSP, use your "magic memory stick" and a NORMAL battery and open a USB connection to your computer.
3.) Open the 3.60 M33 Custom Firmware archive and copy the folders "pandora_slim" and "pandora_slim%" to the directory -- PSP/GAME or PSP/GAME150 (wherever your have your homebrew set to run from).
4.) Now open the firmware 3.40 archive and copy the EBOOT.PBP to the "pandora_slim" folder in your "game" folder (wherever you put the folder in step 3).
5.) Rename the 3.40 EBOOT.PBP to "340.PBP".
6.) Now open the firmware 3.50 archive and copy EBOOT.PBP to the "pandora_slim" folder in your "game" folder.
7.) Rename the 3.50 EBOOT.PBP to "350.PBP".
8.) Disconnect your USB connection and navigate to your "game" section and in the memory stick section, run the new pandora_slim program. This will modify your "magic memory stick" to one capable of working in the Slim PSP unit by overwriting some .prx files. It won't take longer than you took to read this step
9.) After completing step 8, you should power the "fat" PSP off, and take out the "modified magic memory stick".
10.) Now insert the "modified magic memory stick" and the "JigKick" battery into the Slim PSP. READ NEXT STEP CAREFULLY
11.) Power the Slim PSP unit on. When you power on, nothing will show up on the screen. This is NORMAL. It does this because the Slim screen doesn't support the 1.50 kernel. But it doesn't matter that you don't have a screen. You don't need it. From here, you have 3 options.
OPTION 1 ~ Press the "X" button to begin installing Custom Firmware 3.60 M33. Don't turn the PSP off during this process. The PSP will turn off automatically when it is finished. When it does, just place a normal battery in the Slim PSP and power the unit on. Welcome to Custom Firmware 3.60 M33!!!
OPTION 2 ~ Press the "[]" (square) button to dump the Slim PSP NAND. *NOTE* - You should only do this if you have over 66mb of free space on the memory stick pro duo.
OPTION 3 ~ Press L + R + Triangle to uninstall Custom Firmware 3.60 M33.

Almost 9 months after the Governor released her proposed budget, she addressed Michigan regarding what pretty much everyone knows – we're still waiting for a budget agreement.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop said in his rebuttal that the issues we're facing are not partisan issues and asked the Governor to take the threat of government shutdown off the table, responding to her statement that a continuation budget merely continues spending money that we don't have.
The Detroit News even has a "Shutdown Countdown" … something that I think adds to my frustration. You can click it for the latest. What does it say about a state when we come to this kind of impasse? I don't know, but I'm guessing that it doesn't say "Invest your money here".

Dramatic physician shortages on healthcare horizon
Tulsa World, July 8, 2013
The physician shortage in Oklahoma—one of the worst in the country—is indeed severe, and in fact was a concern long before the Affordable Care Act came to be. But eliminating the possibility for many Americans to obtain insurance isn't an appropriate response to the doctor shortage. According to a recent Associated Press report, about 20 percent of Americans already live in an area that is experiencing a shortage of primary-care physicians. There are about 250,000 primary-care doctors in practice across the country now. Industry experts expect the shortage of these providers to grow to about 30,000 in two years, and to about 66,000 in a decade or so.

The Towel Taker was created by avid beach goer, Kristen Racanati. After spending a weeks vacation at the beach, Kristen quickly realized how annoying it was to carry her towels to and from the beach. Beach bags, plastic bags and even draping the towels over her shoulder did not solve her dilemma. Carrying cold, wet, sandy towels was becoming a hassle and she sought out a way to rectify this problem. She wanted a hands-free way to carry her towels to and from the beach without the mess. Kristen went to the drawing board and created the Towel Taker, a revolutionary way to carry your towels. The Towel Taker now takes the hassle out of going to the beach. Not only can it carry up to three towels, its adjustable straps make it easy for adults and kids to use! With three colors to choose from, the Towel Taker is perfect for all ages! Next time you plan your trip to the beach, make sure you have your Towel Taker! When its time to leave, just strap and go!

text: Hammerknight has put together a great quick guide to how to properly place hands on your illustrations. HeroMachine 2 didn't let you change anything from the default spots so it wasn't an issue, but with HM3 you can rotate and move and flip the arms and hands however you like, and sometimes that can cause problems. Even we professional illustrators sometimes have to break out a mirror and check out how things are supposed to go, so I am sure you'll find this wonderful guide very handy. Thanks HK!

Searching for an honest man (or woman): Which foreign policy makers have real integrity? (UPDATED)
I have a pretty simple question to pose today. Can you think of any major political figures -- and especially within the domain of foreign policy -- whom you admire for their integrity? I'm talking about people who have a well-earned reputation for truth-telling, and for sticking up for what they believe in even if it might be professionally disadvantageous. You know: someone who is at least as interested in doing good as in advancing their own climb up the professional ladder, and who doesn't bend with every prevailing shift in the political winds.
I can think of a few political figures with such saint-like qualities -- Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi, etc. -- but that's a very high bar. I'm also aware that politics is the art of compromise and that political leaders sometimes have to make hard moral judgments in a messy world. So I'm not trying to hold everyone to some other-worldly moral standard. Nor am I suggesting for a moment that my chosen profession is filled with paragons; I've been an academic for far too long to believe that anymore.
Nonetheless, I'm still struck by how rarely you see people in the foreign policy establishment resign on principle or take positions that they know will attract controversy and jeopardize their future prospects. Instead of a world of plain-speaking truth-tellers, we have a culture of spin, of anonymous leakers and finger-in-the-wind politicos who make policy by first asking how it's likely to play in the polls, with influential interest groups, or with their superiors. That's how you get policy paralysis on Gitmo, a "surge to nowhere" in Afghanistan, and a "peace process" in the Middle East that no one in power will admit is a charade.
And to give this issue a contemporary spin, isn't that the real reason to be less than enthusiastic about Susan Rice's candidacy for Secretary of State? Not because she spoke a bit too rashly over Benghazi, but because she's been more interested in her own ascent than in the principles she seeks to uphold. (The same is even more true of many of her critics, of course). How else to explain her accommodating attitude towards African dictators, or the enthusiasm with which she helped smear Richard Goldstone after his famous UN report on Operation Cast Lead was released? No doubt she was following instructions, of course, but I'll bet it never even occurred to her that what she was being asked to do was simply wrong and that maybe she ought to resign instead.
But it's not really fair to single her out: she is just a creature of a larger political culture. During the Bush administration, Secretary of State Colin Powell and Policy Planning chief Richard Haass reportedly had serious doubts about the wisdom of invading Iraq, but you didn't see either of them resign in protest and go public with their objections. Instead, it was a few low-level officials like John Brown or Brady Kiesling or British foreign secretary Robin Cook who had the backbone to denounce a war that was both foolish and illegal and resign. Let's not forget that Saint Hillary and John Kerry backed the war too, and Hillary was also an enthusiastic supporter of the foolish Afghan surge back in 2009. Instead, it was courageous young military officers like Paul Yingling and Matthew Hoh who put telling the truth as they saw it ahead of professional advancement and with the predictable professional consequences.
So to repeat the question: can you think of any foreign affairs experts -- to include policymakers, pundits, scholars, wonks et al -- whose basic integrity, honesty, and moral courage you admire? This doesn't have to be people we agree with, by the way, just someone who might be suitable for inclusion in a revised edition of Profiles in Courage. Nominations now open, and all countries and political movements are eligible.
UPDATE: For a related post that raises additional questions about Rice's waffling on Iraq, see Peter Beinart here.

"Fun, immersive, addictive (Minor spoilers)"
on by MuckcluckPros Great camera, solvable riddles, forgiving gameplay
Cons None that come to mind
Summary I'm not a hard-core gamer. I am, if fact, not all that terrific at platformers. I love them, but I've only finished THREE of them in my entire life (Destroy All Humans, Mario 64, and Rayman 2).
I don't enjoy games that are super difficult as I usually get stuck (i.e. Metroid Prime and that room with the acid and the huge bugs) and give up after a couple HOURS trying to get past one hard spot. So I LOVE this game (I'm only about 1/2 way through it at this point).
The game has a capricious side, allowing you endless redo's in some cases (like with the point where Linda's rolling the bubble) and other times when it kills you off very quickly (the battle in the Lungfish capital comes to mind). But it is never boring, seeing as how you are constantly changing venues and those venues are as different as night and tangerine.
The underlying psychology of the game is fairly silly, but the dark themes (including the death by fire of children) make this game verboten for little ones who might be intrigued by all the bright colors and interesting-looking characters. It will depend on the child, but I don't think it would be appropriate for kids under 12. (The T for Teen rating seems appropriate here.)
All in all a well done game that avoids many of the problems of platformers (LOVE the underground rail system). Some will hate the fact it isn't terribly difficult, but for those of us who are platform fans with limited skills, this is a great little game. Check it out!

>I've landed back in ol' Sydney town after 7 days away which included meetings in Los Angeles, Seattle and Vancouver (couldn't say no to the Olympics!) It was an awesome trip and the highlight obviously being in Redmond with the folks from Microsoft. There were lots of beers, lots of banter and plenty of passionate opinion flying around about iPad, Windows Phone 7 Series and other bits. Last night I took time out to have dinner with Martin Smekal, President of TabletKiosk and good friend. We talked a lot of things over and I past on all the feedback you all left me regarding TK. He is in high spirits and takes all your thoughts into consideration constantly.
One surprising email I received was from a friend named Ray Roche. As I sit in my taxi, headed home, passing the Neutral Bay shops and down past Mosman, I was reading my emails and internet bits only to find out that I was awarded as part of the World's "20 most revered commentators on smart mobile devices"! This was cool considering the company I am in (and the fact that I am nowhere near their levcel!).
Here are a few I can recommend you spend time with:
- Steve "Chippy" Paine
- Warner Crocker, GottaBeMobile
- Frank Garcia, Ultra Mobile PC Tips
- JKKMobile
- James Kendrick
- Kevin Tofel
- Matt Miller
- TnkGrl, TnkGrl Mobile
Like I say, I am in great company! For full list of Award Winners go here!
Thanks again for your readership…it means a lot to me. Stay tuned for more and bye for now from the back of my Taxi. I'm almost home and it's 30 degrees (celsius) outside and I can't wait to see my wife and kids!

Since Joe Gold opened his first fitness center more than 45 years ago, his namesake gym franchise has grown to more than 600 locations worldwide. The four locations near Ogden house workout floors furnished with loads of exercise equipment as well as studios for group classes such as cycling, yoga, and TRX training. Most Gold's locations also feature Les Mills fitness classes such as Body Pump, Body Combat, and Body Attack, which keep things fresh by switching up their choreography and music every three months.
Santa Monica Pizza and Pasta Co.'s chefs squash hunger with handcrafted pizza coated in freshly made sauces and inventive topping combinations. Pizza meals commence with complimentary breadstick bites before guests dig into an appetizer such as the baked ravioli or garlic cheese bread. Patrons sink incisors into the titular Santa Monica pizza—a pesto-coated pie covered in grilled chicken, roasted tomatoes, and bacon mimicking a map of the Pacific Coast—or satisfy a protein craving with the meat freak, a red-sauce base layered with sausage, salami, meatballs, and ham. For customized noshing, patrons can summon the perfect pie, a blank, cheesy canvas waiting to support up to 7 of 30 available toppings, such as artichoke hearts, habanero powder, and pepperoni. Though not included with this Groupon, Santa Monica Pizza and Pasta Co. pours out more than 20 beers that pair excellently with their signature glass of water.
At each of Fat Cats' five locations, strikes and spares light up the screens of automatic scoring systems. Bowling balls roll and skip down lanes in normal conditions, against retractable bumpers, or under the fluorescent glow of Thunder Alley, when the facility transforms into a music-filled fusion of a bowling alley and dance club. Each lane's crashing pins echo the softer clacking of putters at the glow-in-the-dark miniature golf course and the ringing lightshow of the arcade. Elsewhere, the scents of pizza and deep-fried bowling balls waft through the fun haven. Each Fat Cats location partners with different restaurants, including The Pizza Factory at its Salt Lake facility and Champzz Bar at the Westminster location.
