ILULISSAT, Greenland -- It's so cold, they closed the igloos. The icebergs are shivering. Two of my toes are slightly frostbitten. Yesterday my life seriously flashed before my eyes on a dogsled ride through the mountains.
But what a trip. What a place.
Exhilarating, that's the word.
Close your eyes and hear the sounds of Ilulissat (e-LU-li-sat). The creak of the sleds rushing across the crisp snow. The crackle of the ice breaking up against the wooden prow of tiny fishing boats in Disko Bay. The ravens — odd birds to see way up here above the Arctic Circle — flapping their black wings atop the icebergs like dots of licorice on vanilla ice cream.
From the moment you leave Reykjavik, Iceland, in a rugged propeller plane for a three-hour ride to Ilulissat to the moment you pack up your frozen little body and leave, you are in another world.
And if you are willing to come to Greenland in winter (my late February trip was called "Winter Madness" with good reason), it's very affordable.
Almost all tourists to Greenland come from Denmark, followed by small numbers of Germans, Swedes and a tiny number from the United States. Just 429 Americans stayed overnight in Ilulissat last year. Why so few?
First, it's hard to get here.
Second, humble Greenland gets overlooked in favor of trendy Antarctica.
Third, people tend to think of Greenland as one big, empty, melting block of ice. Wrong. Greenland is part of the Danish Kingdom and is bigger than Alaska. Most of its 57,000 people live in isolated towns along the rocky shoreline near the miles-deep ice cap. They have cars. They have schools. They have dogs. They have a life.
Ilulissat, Greenland's most lyrical town, has just 4,606 people and 2,300 sled dogs. Most people here are Inuit or Danish, a melding of people that yields a unique and sturdy culture of fishing, shrimping, tourism and doggy paw prints.
What makes this place a star and a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization World Heritage site is the Sermeq Kujalleq (or Jakobshavn, in Danish ) Glacier, the most active glacier outside Antarctica. Towering icebergs dot Disko Bay as the glacier sends tons of ice down the Ilulissat Icefjord into the bay each day. You don't have to be on a boat to see the icebergs, either. You can see them from your hotel room window. Or your table at lunch over a plate of fresh halibut. Or while walking in town near the Lutheran church.
This tiny town's zillion-dollar views are so stunning that a few years ago, some huge cruise ships included Ilulissat on their summer port stops, overwhelming the town.
"Five years ago, 63 cruises stopped here. It was too much," says Silverio Scivoli, owner of Tourist Nature, which runs local tours. "We were not set up for that. Now we get just five, and the biggest one has 800 people."
Visiting Greenland in the winter means you won't encounter many other tourists, and certainly no cruise ships. I never met another American.
The first day, I spent with six tourists motoring in a small wooden boat in Disko Bay, where we saw the icebergs up close. The icebergs' aloof and menacing grandeur dwarfed tiny fishing and seal-hunting boats nearby, not to mention us. By turns, the tourists crammed into the tiny warm cabin to sip tea, hobnob with the captain, then launch themselves back out into the beauty of the bitter cold.

Get the Look: Academy Awards 2013
We've got the inside scoop on how to recreate Adele and Stacy Keiblers Oscars hair!
John Frieda pro, Michael Ashton, sculpted a voluminous, half-up do for the lovely and insanely talented crooner. Follow the steps to re-create the look:
1. Towel dry wet hair, and work through a little John Frieda Luxurious Volume Fine to Full Blow-Out Spray on mid-lengths and ends.
2. Blow-dry your hair upside down for extra volume and lift at the roots.
3. Once your hair is about 80 percent dry, flip your back over and blow-dry the rest in large sections with a medium sized round brush.
4. Section off your hair into quarters, and wrap each section around a medium to large curling iron to create feminine texture. Then set your hair with hot rollers. After they cool, unroll and softly brush through your hair with a natural bristle brush.
5. Repeat for the remaining three sections, and make sure to pin off each curled section into barrel curls while they cool and set.
6. Let your hair rest for about 10 minutes before removing the pins. Gently tousle your hair, and tease the top half at the crown. Pull the teased portion back, and secure at the back of your head. Leave down two small sections of hair to frame your face. Finish off with Mist Luxurious Volume All-Day Hold Hairspray for a long-lasting finish.
Hairstylist Robert Vetica shares the secret behind George Clooney's leading lady's glamorous look:
We wanted to create a modern retro look, very Old Hollywood 1930s glamour," said Vetica. "We chose to do a low side part, deconstructed into a faux bob with loose volume.
1. Begin with wet hair, and add a few drops of Carols Daughter Monoi Oil Sacred Strengthening Serum to add strength and flexibility before the initial blow-dry.
2. After blow-drying your hair, apply a little Macadamia Heat Protection Serum to prep the hair for curls. Take sections of hair, and curl into loose waves. Set the waves with hairspray.
3. Finally, brush out the curls, and sweep your hair into a loose faux bob, finishing off with Finishing Shine Mist to give your do a bit of red-carpet worthy shine!

Agenda 21: SB 265, Sonsored by Sen. Nieves (573-751-3678) briefly states:
SB 265 – This act prohibits the state and any political subdivision from implementing any policy recommendations that infringe on private property rights without due process and are traceable to Agenda 21 adopted in 1992 by the United Nations or any other international law or ancillary plan of action that contravenes the federal or state constitutions.
In addition, this act prohibits the state and any political subdivision from entering into an agreement with, expending any money for, receiving funds from, contracting services from, or giving financial aid to any organization accredited and enlisted by the United Nations to assist in the implementation of Agenda 21.
Education bill: SB 210, Sponsored by Sen. Lamping (573-751-2514) & Nieves briefly states:
SB 210 – This act prohibits the State Board of Education and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education from implementing the Common Core State Standards for public schools developed by the Common Core Standards Initiative or any other statewide education standards without the approval of the General Assembly.
2nd Amendment rights (right to bear arms): SB 325, sponsored by Sen. Nieves (573-751-3678) states:
SB 325 – This act lists various declarations of the Missouri General Assembly regarding the United States Constitution and the scope of the federal government's authority. In addition, this act declares that federal supremacy does not apply to federal laws that restrict or prohibit the manufacture, ownership, and use of firearms, firearm accessories, or ammunition within the state because such laws exceed the scope of the federal government's authority. Laws necessary for the regulation of the land and the United States Armed Forces are excluded from the types of federal firearms laws that exceed federal authority.
This act declares as invalid all federal laws that infringe on the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Article I, Section 23 of the Missouri Constitution. Some laws declared invalid under this act include the Gun Control Acts of 1934 and 1968, certain taxes, certain registration and tracking laws, certain prohibitions on the possession, ownership, use, or transfer of a specific type of firearm, and confiscation orders.
This act declares that it is the duty of the courts and law enforcement agencies to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.
Under this act, no public officer or state employee has the authority to enforce firearms laws declared invalid by the act. Any federal official, agent or employee who enforces any of the laws declared invalid under the act is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
Any Missourian who has been subject to an enforcement action involving any of the laws declared invalid by this act has a private cause of action for declaratory judgment and damages against any person or entity attempting to enforce the law.
This act is identical to HB 436 (2013).

If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

Bob Parker on Agenda 21: check out his web site below: http://ozarkspropertyrightscongress.com/category/conferences Bob won his fight when a heritage group from the UN wanted to take over 13 counties in SE Missouri to save our heritage stories. It involved several counties and thousands of miles of MO property. At Bob's own expense he informed the County Commissioners of the international take over with non representation and higher taxes required by a group sponsored by the UN. HB42 was proposed by Lyle Rowland, "prohibits the state and all political subdivisions from adopting or implementing UN or international environmental developmental policies that infringe or restrict private property rights without due process." Lets back this bill, call your reps and demand that it should go forward.

Frieda Keough on Paper ballots: spoke on voter fraud in St. Louis, irregularities, 28 townships voters list reflected 21 Dem. And 22 Rep dominant townships yet only 11 were counted. They found that many pets and the dead voted in the last election. Voter rules are corrupted and the move to the paper ballots is needed. She said that a voter ID law is needed as it would eliminate a lot of these problems. The Organization "Missourians for Honest Elections" needs help.
Marc Perez on 2nd Amendment: spoke about gun control. HB170 was introduced 11/17/2013 by Casey Guernsey and co sponsored by Paul Curtman was referred to "General Laws" committee. It "specifies that a federal official must not enforce a federal firearm law when the firearm is manufactured and remains in the state and that any new federal law banning or restricting ownership of a semi-automatic firearm is unenforceable." If you believe in the 2nd amend. call your representatives, and let them know you support this bill that it should be reviewed by the committee and go forward for a vote.
He also requests that we call our senators and ask them to vote down SB 124, requiring schools to report parents with guns. Parents will be required to write to their school and let them know they, the parents, own a firearm. The parent or guardian will be fined if they do not notify the school and additional fines will be added if they are found guilty of negligent storage of a firearm and have failed to notify ownership of firearms. A GUN FREE ZONE IS ALSO A KILL ZONE. Support impeachment if gun control by Executive Order and the Federal Government ignores our Constitution.
Matthew Silber on 10th Amendment: Check out his web site
Amendment X: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the People." He believes the Federal Govt. has over stepped its bounds and that the States should start enforcing the 10th amend. He was backed by the "Oath Keepers" and several other groups along with some teachers who believe they should be allowed CCW on school premises.

The Astros' complete butchering of a bunt in the 11th inning took the spotlight last night, but there were still questions about the Nationals' pitching gameplan.
Nationals Talk
Roger Bernadina scored when Houston made two errors on the same play in the 11th inning and the Washington Nationals picked up their third straight win, 5-4 over the Astros on Monday night.
Needing some infield insurance, the Nationals have claimed veteran Cesar Izturis off waivers from Milwaukee.
Jayson Werth thought it would take some time to get his swing back after three months on the DL, but the Nationals outfielder hasn't missed a beat.

Episode 8 of the podcast is now up! We're talking Eurozone economics and where America is in relation. Click here, go to the podcast tab, or, as usual, listen on iTunes and don't forget to rate and review!
I have a question for Mike the Economist.
Back in the 90′s we reelected Clinton based on the stock market's high averages. Our stock markets seem to have even higher averages, but it has done nothing to help our economy. Is this based on the fact that many companies can make huge profits from overseas business? Obviously the markets are masking the our economic woes.
In your opinion, do you think an organization like the WTO and the obligations the U.S. has to it, and our pursuit of free trade policies has been a contributing factor to a lack of growth? Do you see free trade policies as a failure, and that the U.S. should no longer pursue these policies?
Love the show!
Thanks, Stuart from Hurst TX

Apple provides a great programming environment for OS X and the iPhone. However, if you are new to Mac programming, it can be intimidating even for professionals. Read on to learn a few basics about Cocoa, Objective-C and Xcode.
Xcode and Interface Builder
Xcode is Apple's "IDE" or Integrated Development Environment. If you have used Microsoft Visual Studio or a Borland product such as Delphi or Kylix, you have used an IDE. Xcode is a code editor, debugger, and project manager.
Apple's Interface Builder is a separate program, but it works hand in hand with Xcode to provide programmers with a visual drag-n-drop WYSIWYG system to build the user interface of your applications.
If you are coming to the Mac from Visual Studio or Delphi, just remember that on the Mac, you will be using both Xcode and Interface Builder. Since you will be using two separate software packages, you should be prepared that the method for building Mac applications will be a little different compared to Visual Studio or Delphi which have the code editor and visual interface builder all rolled into a single software package.
Unlike Visual Studio or Delphi, both Xcode and Interface Builder come with all new Macs for free. If they are not already installed on your Mac, you can install them from the DVD that came with your Mac or you can download them from Apple.
Objective-C Syntax
Objective-C is the programming language of choice for Mac and iPhone programming. It scares off a lot of prospective Mac programmers. If you jump right into some Objective-C without getting your bearings first, you will be lost. While it has a learning curve, getting a few basics under your belt will ease the transition.
The good news is that Objective-C is not really that complex. It just looks foreign. Objective-C is actually a super-set of the venerable C language. That means that its just plain old C, but with some added syntax to make it object-oriented. Why didn't Apple choose C++ if they wanted object-orientation? We'll touch on that later when we discuss Cocoa and NeXTSTEP.
In some object-oriented languages, like C++ or PHP, objects and their methods are typically referenced as follows:
myobject -> dosomething
In languages like Ruby, Delphi, or C#, where the dot notation is available, you might see something like:
In Objective-C, this would be:
[myobject dosomething]
Basically, you enclose calls to objects inside square brackets and separate the name of your object from its method with a space. What about methods that take parameters?
[myobject dosomething height:6 weight:160]
Get the idea? You add the name of each parameter followed by a colon and the value you want to send. Once you get used to it, it is fairly readable. Think "ask myboject to dosomething with a height of 6 and a weight of 160."
Just to be complete, note that the newest version of Xcode on the Mac supports dot notation in Objective-C, so the following will also now work:
I recommend that you learn the old style first (using brackets) as most of the sample code you will see is written in the older style. Some programmers dislike dot notation, but its a personal preference. Once you build your confidence with the old style, then you can try some dot notation and decide what works best for you.
Compiling Objective-C
Did Apple make a new compiler for Objective-C to work? Not at all. The open source compiler, known as "GCC" and widely available on Linux and Unix, is called by Xcode to compile your program every time. GCC can handle Objective-C, C, C++ and some other languages as well. You can mix C and C++ into your Mac programming, but its best to stick with Objective-C as often as you can.
Case Sensitivity
Objective-C is case-sensitive, so myObject is different than myobject. The Mac tradition is to name objects with a lowercase letter first, so MyObject would be frowned upon, while myObject or mySecondObject would be applauded by other Mac developers.
Strange Symbols
Another source of confusion for new Mac programmers is the @ symbol. You might see:
@interface myaccount: Object { …. }
@interface tells the compiler that you are declaring an object's variables and methods. There are some other @ symbols, like @implementation that you'll come across and use.
You'll also see lines starting with a dash:
- (NSString *)firstname
The leading dash means that the function being provided is an instance method. That's something you would not see in C.
You might also see (id) used a lot. (id) just means that you are referencing a generic Objective-C object and its basically a stand-in for any Objective-C object.
IBOutlet and IBAction
IBOutlet and IBaction are used in code like this:
IBOutlet NSTextField *mytextfield;
- (IBAction) addEmail: (id)sender;
Basically, IBOutlet and IBAction are keywords that only Interface Builder (IB) reads to match your visual interface with your programming code. Remember I said that Xcode and Interface Builder are actually separate programs? These keywords allow them to work together. In Interface Builder, objects you create visually have "actions" and "outlets". These keywords tie it all together for you and allow the system to connect your functions with their interface elements. For example, if you want the user to press a button and make a sound, you'll use Interface Builder to draw the button and then you'll use IBAction and IBOutlet keywords in your code to help connect your button to your sound functions.
H and M Files
In Objective-C, you will typically break up your programming into header files (ending in ".h") where you declare your objects, and then your function code will be in files ending with ".m".
NIB and XIB Files
Interface Builder creates its own files which represent the visual design you have created for your program's interface. These files are called NIB files but for newer versions of Xcode and Interface Builder, you'll also see XIB. They're not exactly the same, but they're close enough for you to get started.
Interestingly, a lot of commercial Mac programs have their NIB/XIB files available to you. Applications on the Mac are not typically just an executable file, they are actually a folder with the application's resources inside. You can find the NIB/XIB files inside the folder and if you change a NIB file (carefully) in Interface Builder, you can actually change the visual layout of a commercial application. Of course, you can also break the application if you're not careful.
Over the years, Apple has provided some different programming frameworks for developers to build Mac applications. Frameworks are libraries and bundles of pre-written routines to help you get your application built and running quickly. If you had to program every little thing from scratch it would take too long. The previous Apple programming system was called "Carbon" but the latest and greatest is called Cocoa.
Cocoa is a slew of Objective-C object-oriented frameworks that allow you to build your applications quickly. By using the Cocoa "WebKit" framework for example, you can build web browser functionality into your application with just a few lines of code. "AppKit" is another important framework that provides a lot of the base code you will use for a graphical application on the Mac.
iPhone and Cocoa
Since the iPhone interface is a little different than a normal computer, Apple created some Cocoa frameworks for the iPhone. "UIKit" is the framework on the iPhone to use in place of "AppKit".
NS This and NS That
When you work with Cocoa, you'll be seeing NS everywhere. For example, NSString is a Cocoa string object which gives you string functions beyond a conventional C string. "NS" is just a prefix that stands for NeXTSTEP. Items that begin with NS are just Cocoa objects.
Learn Mac Programming |
When Steve Jobs left Apple in the 1980s and started the NeXT computer company, those computers ran the high performance Unix-based NeXTSTEP operating system. When Steve Jobs came back to Apple in the 1990s, and Apple was struggling to build a new operating system, they used parts of BSD Unix and parts of NeXTSTEP.
NeXTSTEP was built with Objective-C and that's why Objective-C is still so important to Apple. NeXTSTEP even had something similar to the current Interface Builder. That's why Apple did not rebuild Cocoa as a C++ library. By leveraging the NeXTSTEP Objective-C frameworks and tools, and calling them Cocoa, Apple saved a lot of time and knew they had something that already worked well. So, if you see "NS" just go with it, its just a name.
Your Next Step
So these were some basics to keep in mind as you begin your Mac or iPhone programming journey. To get started quickly, I highly recommend Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegass.

Russell Sharp is your Vancouver REALTOR ® of choice when it comes to selling or buying your Vancouver real estate. Before Russell became a REALTOR ® in Vancouver he ran a very successful marketing business in London England during which he studied by correspondence, and passed, his Masters of Business Administration, MBA with Durham, a top University and Business School in Europe. Russell always had a passion for real estate. Since he was fifteen years old Russell has been involved in selling, marketing and branding, all at the highest level, in the United Kingdom. When he arrived in beautiful British Columbia Russell realised that both his head and heart were leading him in the direction of Vancouver real estate.
Russell has attained his Senior Real Estate Specialist award SRES, and Accredited Buyers Representative award, ABR and has maintained an extremely high list-to-sales ratio of 98% (of all his listings have sold).
So what is the secret of Russell's success? Being one of the few masters degree qualified REALTORS ® in Vancouver Russell applies the 3 'P's of marketing (Product, Price, and Promotion) to all of his listings with a much greater attention to detail than most other Vancouver REALTORS ®.
PRODUCT: Unlike any other Vancouver REALTOR ®, Russell offers his clients a marketing package which includes homestageing and de-cluttering. The statistics show that homes which have been professionally home staged and de-cluttered sell for a higher price as their value is perceived to be higher, and they sell faster too.
PRICE: A large part of being an MBA graduate is being trained to analyze statistics and do indepth research. Russell ensures that his research is at a much higher level than most REALTORS®. Russell presents his clients with all the options and pricing strategies to achieve his clients' goals in the least time with the least amount of stress.
PROMOTION: Using a blend of traditional marketing and non traditional marketing Russell produces an integrated marketing campaign which correctly positions the listing and strategically targets the profile of the potential buyers.
Whether you are a seller who has decided to list your home and get the highest possible sold price, or a buyer who is looking for an affordable Vancouver home, you will get the best possible added value from Russell Sharp.

Real Wedding Inspiration: A Preppy Ireland Wedding
Tartan of course plays a part in this stylish preppy wedding.
by Alexandra Thompson
The Bride Nichole Morford, 30
The Groom Andrew Altorfer, 33
The Date September 19
Nichole and Andrew knew they wanted a European destination wedding. During a spontaneous trip to Ireland soon after their engagement, Nichole says they fell in love with the warmth of the people and their rich storytelling tradition.
For their nuptials, the couple used a neutral palette of ivory and fawn, with touches of tartan and herringbone, to accent the rich green countryside.Nearly all of the 75 guests were able to stay on-site at the 18th-century country house, not far from Dublin.
Nichole chose an organza mermaid-style gown and borrowed the veil her twin sister had worn in her wedding just four months earlier.
An illustrated map noted nearby landmarks.
The bridesmaids accessorized their J. Crew dresses and cardigans with their own jewelry and heels, but changed into traditional Hunter boots for outdoor bridal party photos.
Irish greens popped against the guys' navy suits.
White David Austin roses, spray roses and ranunculus gave Nichole's bouquet a fresh-from-the-garden feel.
Modest centerpieces perfectly complemented the cellar-like ambience of Bellinter House's restaurant.

When David Booth was at his low point a couple of weeks ago, he found comfort in a Gary Allan country song titled "Every storm runs out of rain."
The message is rather simple, and captured in its classic country chorus which reads: "Every heartache will fade away."
In other words, if the Canucks can turn their power play around, and they have man-advantage goals in seven straight games, the sun is going to shine on everyone's backside eventually.
And wouldn't you know it, Booth is now on the top line with the Sedins.
He seems to be staying there too, despite generating zero shots on net in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over Phoenix.
Booth has managed to win over John Tortorella — for the time being — and if he's done that, just about anything is possible, including the Canucks figuring out how to close a home game.
In five of the Canucks past seven home games, they have had a third-period lead...

She will be leaving behind an online, social media presence that allows her middle schoolers to access short video lectures and ask questions of her.
"I'll be able to keep tabs on the class and see how things are going," said Brothers, who teaches science at Meadow Glen Middle School.
Brothers is among a growing number of Midlands teachers who interact with students via social learning technology platforms such as Edmodo, ), uploading video podcasts of lessons that might have been offered in the past as classroom lectures.
Educators are embracing social media and learning sites, from Edmodo and Facebook, to Wikis and Twitter, as part of curriculum development, said USC education professor Cheryl Wissick, who teaches about technology applications in regular and special needs classrooms.
"I think as far as teaching, we want to use social media, Wikis and blogs to train teachers to use them in the classroom," said Wissick, who has worked with teachers to develop web-based applications for students with mild and moderate disabilities. "Teachers want to know how to teach their students about social media."
As sharing sites proliferate, Wissick said teachers realized "we can learn more collectively than individually and that is why it is here to stay."
Brothers learned about Edmodo as a secure social learning network for iteachers, students and parents in a webinar two years ago and quickly saw its value for her science students. Soon she found herself demonstrating its effectiveness to district officials and spreading the word to other Lexington 1 teachers.
She created video podcasts of her lectures last year using an Apple MacIntosh and Camtasia software. Now she is using an iPad issued by Lexington 1 and an app Explain Everything for lessons.
Brothers operates a "flipped classroom." She posts traditional lectures online so that students can access them anytime. After they have absorbed the material at home, Brothers uses her class time for hands-on lab activities, she said.
"We can do a ton of lab activities and a lot of group collaboration," said Brothers, who is now in her fourth year of teaching in Lexington 1. "They can get more personalized learning."
In Richland 2, more than 1,400 teachers now use Edmodo and most students have accounts as well, said Donna Teuber, the district's technology integration coordinator.
Once teachers learned they could post assignments, share content, create student groups to collaborate on projects and communicate with students, parents and other teachers "our numbers just skyrocketed," she said. "Teachers just liked it so much."
One of Edmodo's biggest advantages, Teuber said, is its flexibility in creating online conversations among students and teachers but within a controlled environment. It also integrates with Google Docs, a free online document service that allows a user to create, access and store documents.
Facebook and Twitter, social networks favored by students to communicate and socialize with each other, are more open and can be subject to abuse.
While some teachers do use Facebook, "it is not the safest environment for teachers to communicate with students," Teuber said.
At the college level, Wissick has found professors will create a professional Facebook page to communicate with students while maintaining a personal Facebook page to share information about their family life with relatives and friends.
The proliferation of social media and social learning sites, as well as smart phones, virtually guarantees that information gathering doesn't stop when the 3 p.m. bell rings.
At A.C. Flora High School in Richland 1, junior Salley Reamer said she routinely communicates by email with teachers and in one class, the teacher used Twitter to post assignments. Reamer and others on the school's award-winning math team have an online forum to work on difficult math problems among themselves and with their coach.
Brothers, the Lexington 1 teacher, routinely answers emails well into the evening from students, although she usually turns off her phone at 10 p.m.
Even with a small child at home and another on the way, Brothers doesn't mind the nightly interactions with students who are stumped by a problem or have a quick question on her lecture.
"If, for some reason, they do a lab at home, with Edmodo they can quickly message me and ask me to help them," she said.
With the explosion of social networking sites and smart phones that keep everyone plugged in at all hours, school districts have had to revise their human resources policy manuals to deal with evolving technology.
Richland 2, Lexington-Richland 5, Lexington 3 and Kershaw County, for instance, don't restrict social networking during non-school hours although it is blocked on the districts' networks, a typical stance among Midlands districts.
But districts set guidelines for how employees should conduct themselves in their off hours.
"The personal life of an employee, including the employee's personal use of non-district issued electronic equipment outside of working hours (such as through social networking sites and personal portrayal on the Internet), will be the concern of and warrant the attention of the board if it impairs the employee's ability to effectively perform his/her job responsibilities or if it violates local, state or federal law or contractual agreements," Kershaw County states in its updated employee conduct section. "Unprofessional conduct may subject the employee to disciplinary actions consistent with state law, federal law and/or board policy."
That's virtually word-for-word what Richland 2's employee manual states.
Brothers said being available to help her students in their learning is a good thing.
"You feel that you care more about them and that learning is 24/7 and not just in school."

When it comes to choosing a mate, animals -- be they butterflies, frogs, elephants or humans -- have strong preferences. They gravitate to the one with the glittering scales, the warbling call, that ineffable something.
Such predilections may seem harmless, except perhaps to those not preferred. But they can be major obstacles to scientists trying to breed rare species back into abundance with just a few potential mates.
Although Noah may have had no problems working with a single pair of every animal, researchers often find that animals they try to mate will refuse to have anything to do with each other. What with famously recalcitrant lovers like giant pandas (not to mention cloud leopards, an endangered species whose males sometimes kill females presented to them), many animals simply cannot be enticed to love the one they're with.
Now scientists working with a declining species, the harvest mouse, report that by using a few simple aromatic manipulations they have taken males that were once entirely unappealing to some females, and have made them altogether more alluring. The technique involves marking objects in the animals' cages with scents given off by the most appealing males.

I noticed that LR4.1 seems to use green equilibrilation on raw files coming from the Olympus OM-D E-M5 albeit it is not needed. This results in additional moire and loss of very fine detail compared to what other software is capable of delivering out of E-M5 raw files.
As far as I know LR applied green equilibrilation on all Olympus files in the past, because it was necessary. Now I wonder if this is a left-over/bug or if it is still done deliberately?!
Hi Timur,
I'm not sure your assertion that it is not necessary is actually correct. I checked a DNG and the BayerGreenSplit value is 250, so you are correct that it is being applied. I took said DNG file and edited it to set the BayerGreenSplit value to 0. The result was mazing artifacts in the sky. In fact looking at the default file (250) it appears close to an optimal choice for the split value as there is just the very slightest hint of mazing in the sky and the detail loss in the rest of the image is very low. At least in my sample image I'm not seeing a difference in Moire between the 0 and 250 setting, though I've only got a few features with Moire in the scene. Based on that I'm thinking someone very intentionally and carefully set the BayerGreenSplit value being used.
What is your basis for deciding it isn't necessary? Be aware that examining RAW histograms of a grey target and see the channels the same is not sufficient. The split is not just required for different luminance sensitivities but also for cases in which spectral response is different. A better test is to shoot blue and red patches or ramps and then carefully examine the G1 and G2 values. Sometimes even though they were equal on a grey target they differ on a blue or red target.
EDIT: Here is the two versions, 0 on the left, default of 250 on the right:
Thanks for the reply and good idea about the DNG conversion. I will try that, too.
What makes me believe that Green Equilibration should not be necessary is:
- White Balance coefficients for both green channels are listed as 256 in EXIF.
- Raw Therapee only shows labryrinth noise in some areas of some images.
- DXO get about the same detail increase as RT over LR, but even manages without any labyrinth noise where RT does not.
- RawDigger histrograms look the same for both green channels.
Hi Timur,
I just wanted to follow up and say that I've examined G1 and G2 samples from a variety of color patches and found no case in which they differ. So my earlier caveat about there possibly being different spectral responses even if the gains appeared equal on grayscales does not appear to apply. It really looks like G1 and G2 are identical as you stated.
Still sort of curious about the increased mazing when BayerGreenSplit is set to 0 rather than the default of 250. I really can not see a significant difference in detail between the two, but I do see additional mazing. I wonder if the BayerGreenSplit parameter is being tuned by sight or a test pattern by Adobe regardless of whether the G1 and G2 channels are actually different? Or is it just an oversight from previous cameras as you suspect?
Would love to hear a clarification from the Abobe folks on this one...
My understanding from someone at Adobe is that, for current versions of LR and ACR, the BayerGreenSplit value functions only as a on/off switch, zero being off and anything non-zero being on. In earlier versions, the value was meaningful, but in the latest versions the algorithm in effect autotunes itself to an optimal value.
Note also that if LR/ACR recognize the camera model in a DNG file, they will ignore the BayerGreenSplit value anyway.
These are two quotes I found on the web concerning BayerGreenSplit in Lightroom:
Eric Chan (LR4 developer): "You are right, the green split suppression is now being applied to all the Micro 4/3 models including G1 and GH1, so the definition is not quite as high as previously. We are still studying ways to improve the resolution and edge smoothness while balancing suppression of pattern noise."
Manuel Llorens García (rawness.es): "Adobe programs, ACR based (Photoshop & Lightroom) can effectively diagnose whether the image will produce artifacts or not and they fix it in the same way as dcraw, using something similar to a four channel VNG"
RawTherapee introducs pattern/labyrinth noise in some areas, too (see my last image). But not only do you have control over whether and how much Green Split/Equilibrilation you want to apply to overcome that, but the outcome is sometimes better to work with. The image before the last with the vertical fences shows considerable moire being left _after_ color noise filtering (default 25) has been applied in Lightroom. In fact you have to push the color noise filter considerble close to 100 to get rid of that while RawTherapee's filter has no problem with using low filtering.
And DXO still shows that the additional detail is possible without pattern and additional moire.
Thanks Sandy and Timur for the follow up information. It does sound like ACR/LR is using this parameter on purpose in cases other than where there are actual G1/G2 differences.
Timur, be aware of the rather different default sharpening algorithms used in ACR/LR compared to both RT and DXO. If you want to make a better detail comparison be sure to crank up the "Detail" slider in LR/ACR to 100 or close to it. That will get the ACR/LR sharpening algorithm to act more like the RT/DXO algorithm and give much more comparable results. The default position in LR/ACR is a bit conservative and in my opinion biased a bit towards portraiture and wedding photographers who really aren't interested in fine detail.

Hmmm, I'd say my example clearly demonstrates this isn't that case. All I did was take a LR generated DNG and edit the BayerGreenSplit value and then reimport into LR and the rendering is clearly different. So I'd say at least in this version of LR that LR is definitely reading the BayerGreenSplit value and applying it even when it recognizes the camera information in the DNG file.
Thank for the hint, but my demonstration images 1,2 and 4 did not use any kind or sharpening or noise filtering at all.
Image 3 used noise filters and some unusual sharpening settings in order to pull fine line detail sharpness (to bring out the fences) without halos from all three programs. You normally wouldn't use these extreme settings to get "pleasing" results. Here are the settings:
DXO - Lens Softness
Global: -2.00 (to get rid of any white sharpening halos)
Details: 100 (for maximum contrast on fine line details)
Bokeh: 0 (to avoid blurring away finest details)
Amount: 37 (quite more than I usually use, but still low enough to avoid halos and reticulation noise)
Radius: 0.8 (to catch the finest details without having coarse lines blow over)
Detail: 100 (for maximum contrast on fine line details)
Masking: 3 (just enough to catch some noise in the sky background without blurring finest details)
RT4 - Deconvolution
Radius: 0.79 (too lazy to dial in 0.8 )
Amount: 75 (default, 100 would have increased some contrast on fine detail at the cost of noise, but I aimed to match DXO)
Damping: 0 (to avoid blurring away finest details)
Iterations: 30 (default, 100 would have increased some contrast on fine detail at the cost of noise, but I aimed to match DXO)
DXO's had some advantages over the other two contenders. First I deliberately chose a Color/Tonality profile that resulted in maximum contrast between the sky and the fence that resulted in the fence being slightly darker/more contrasty to begin with. And of course DXO's Lens Softness can be used to sharpen very strongly without increasing noise, because of the "hidden" and very effective noise masking done by DXO. I could have used more masking with LR4 and damping with RT4 to get a similar effect, but that would have blurred away some of the lesser dark/contrasty fence parts.
One thing I forgot to mention is that DXO's demosaicing is not entirely free of artifacts. There are vertical lines in several areas that are visible brought out by sharpening, but are already present in the demosaicing data. One example is the backside of the sign on the right side of image 3. The sign looks as if the vertical fence runs between the camera and the sign, but in reality the sign is placed closer to the camera.

No, actually you did! That was my point, there is no such thing as demosaicing without sharpening. The demosaicing kernels sharpen to a degree no matter what and depending on the software there will be more inherent sharpening in the demosaicing algorithm. Zero isn't zero, it is just as arbitrary a point as randomly setting the sharpening slider is and varies just as much between software.
Thank you very much for the details on set 3. That I think is the more illuminating way to compare the tools and does a much better job showing what recoverable detail there is than a zero sharpening (i.e. arbitrary and not equivalent) setting. I haven't looked at different RAW converters in about two years and it is really helpful to see your results as you've clearly got some good experience with a selection of them.
That makes sense, especially since DXO seems to apply some form of masking or noise filtering during the demosaicing stage already.
I am least experienced with DXO, but haven't used any of these longer than when LR4 went public beta. Which is why I even started my whole comparison to get an idea of how much difference it can make for certain things. Here is a thread where I documented my comparisons, with some full sized (non compressed) images and additional information about different tonality/curves and white-balance behavior of the different applications.
If you don't want to wade through a whole thread, here is just the images gallery (including the WB table): http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/3262748529/albums/raw-software-compa rison
Think I'm gonna start a dedicated thread about WB, too, as this one confused me.
Hi Timur,
Been a bit since I did it, but if I recall correctly you need to use two tools.
First get exiftool and run it with the -htmlDump option on the DNG file. This will create a HTML file you can open up in a web browser that breaks out all of the EXIF, TIFF and DNG tags in an easy to read format. It includes even those tags that exiftool usually doesn't display or let you edit. This HTML display also shows you the hex address offset into the DNG file for all these tags.
Next, choose a binary hex editor of your choice, open the DNG file, go to the address for the BayerGreenSplit tag indicated in the HTML file and edit it to whatever value you choose. Save the change.
That is a bit round about, but it was the fastest way I could do it with the tools I had on hand without writing actual code to do it. In theory any TIFF tag editor should be able to change the value as well, but I haven't found a good one of those.
Hope that helps!
Found two ways myself, either via Exiftool (better) or via Cornerfix (worse for EXR type files from my X10). Turns out that Lightroom doesn't seem to care for the BayerGreenSplit value other than ON (any value >0) and OFF (0).
Unfortunately Lightroom's demosaicing is still inferior to both RawTherapee's and DXO's in that it creates labyrinth pattern where the others manage to mostly correctly produce vertical bars.
Thanks again!
Just saw your reply after posting mine. Exiftool is able to directly change the BayerGreenSplit field (-BayerGreenSplit=0) and then either write an output DNG to another file (-o filename) or simply overwrite the original one (overwrite_original_in_place).
To bad that this mostly results in creating labyrinth pattern instead of smeared away information. I would have prefered real information like both RT and DXO are able to deliver.

Madison and Jefferson were much in agreement on these issues, with Madison perhaps a bit more miltantly leaning to the "wall of separation side. Considering that, Jefferson's words about the Virginia law might be given more weight. In his autobiography Jefferson recounted the passage of the law : "Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting the word 'Jesus Christ,' so that it should read, 'a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;' the insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and the Mahometan, the Hindoo, and the Infidel of every denomination."

WASHINGTON (September 5, 1997) -- Bishop Anthony M. Pilla, President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/United States Catholic Conference, issued the following statement today on the death of Mother Teresa:
"Mother Teresa imitated Christ and her life was a lesson in love. As she personally tended the sick and the dying in Calcutta's slums, she helped people there and beyond see the material and spiritual poverty that confronts modern society.She taught all -- from youth groups to governments -- through piety and charm, wisdom and simplicity. As small and soft-spoken as she was, her reach was large and her message heard around the world.
She saw Jesus in everyone -- from the child in the womb, to the sick and vulnerable, especially those afflicted with AIDS, to the aged and dying abandoned in the streets of Calcutta. She urged people everywhere to reach beyond themselves to heal those hurting about them.
Mother Teresa transcended cultures and politics as she spoke of God's call to love and assist the poor. She had a profound realization that anyone she was with -- immigrant, alien, president or prime minister, was first of all a Child of God and intrinsically worthy of respect. Her life will stand as a reminder to all of us that we are called to care for one another and especially that we are called to respect and aid the poorest among us.
God blesses the world with wonderful treasures -- certainly Mother Teresa has been one of the finest of our century."

SA Report on Cancer - Country Health SA
27/06/2012 , 3:20 PM by Ivy Bateman
Coping with serious illness such as cancer is difficult for everyone but it can be even harder for country patients who may have to travel for specialist appointments and to receive their treatment.
Country Health SA recognises this and we are committed to improving the cancer services and support we have available to country patients – improved coordination of appointments, minimising travel and making sure they receive the care and support they need while away from home.
Family and friends are an important part of the recovery process which is why we are looking at ways treatment can be delivered in regional locations so our patients can be closer to their support networks.
This includes the new $69m Regional Cancer Centre at Whyalla, another 12 specialist chemotherapy units across regional South Australia, improved video-conferencing facilities and a comprehensive training and assessment program for staff.
As not all services can be provided outside the metropolitan area some travel will inevitably still be required.
However we are trying to make these trips easier by improving the partnerships and coordination between our metropolitan and country hospitals so that at each end of their journey patients will receive advice, support and understanding.
CHSA is a contributing partner in the Country Cancer Support website which offers practical information for cancer patients, friends and family and health professionals.
Click here to visit www.countrycancersupport.com.au & find out more.
It's not appropriate for Country Health SA to rate the service as we are the ones that provide it.
It is up to those using the service to provide their feedback and we will use that to make further improvements.

Where Ian drops some incredibly sound advice…
I think Ian's points about technical gear (in his example guitar equipment) materializes with a profound clarity at the intersection of photography and #menswear. There's a sense that one is a 'peasant' (to use a term favored by the #menswear illuminati) if they don't have the right gear for snapping bokeh-heavy (posed) street style photography. Alex of superdanger takes some of the best pics I see on tumblr, and he does so with a fairly old Canon Rebel DSLR and Canon's cheapest 50mm portrait lens—a rig you could pick on craigslist for around $250 if you looked hard enough. Ian's object lesson is a great one: there's no technical substitute for human creativity; getting bogged down in petty details, or worse, feeling bad because you can't afford what those who pollute your imagination with their #wealth have, not only evacuates getting dressed up of its meaning (i.e., being creative, feeling good about yourself, and having fun) but is often a recipe for reckless and dangerous spending.
Personal Style, Part II: It's (not always) in the Details
This is the second installment in a series about events that shaped the way I dress. These stories may or may not be relevant to you but hopefully they offer a perspective that isn't often seen on the internet. Part I can be found here.
Perhaps it's because I'm an engineer, but I love getting lost in minutiae. This is especially prevalent in my fascination with men's clothing; I love to obsess over and ponder the implications of a quarter-inch of lapel and tie, the distance between stripes on shirts, or the brogueing pattern on a pair of wingtips. That's one of the great things about hobbies – they give you the opportunity to delve into something so deeply that only you can appreciate all the fine points.
However, I have come to realize that this type of information is only beneficial to a point; after that, it can be distracting and even detrimental – allow me to explain.
Those that know me well know that I have spent much of my life playing music; some would even argue that my interest in #menswear only appeared when I moved to California and left my musical friends behind, thus filling the hole in my life that constant gigging had once occupied. Regardless, they are both great passions of mine and I love to obsess over both.
One of my close friends is a professional guitar player in Los Angeles. Now, one thing guitarists love to do – perhaps even more than playing – is to obsess over gear. Whenever I was able to spend time with this friend I would pump him for trade information: are vintage tubes really that much better than new ones? (yes.) Does the chip in an Ibanez TS9 Tube Screamer make that big of a difference? (yes.) Are true bypass pedals always better than buffer pedals? (not necessarily.) After grilling him for an hour or two I would leave the conversation feeling confident that I was a better guitarist than before. After one such conversation, though, my friend told me something that hung with me for a long time:
"Learning about gear and obsessing over details is always fun, but don't let it take over; sometimes we spend weeks poring over unattainable items and product specs, only to realize we haven't practiced in a month."
This statement struck me; it's true that my interest in creating an imaginary dream axe had completely overshadowed my desire to practice, and my playing had suffered for it. There is no substitute for practice – a good musician with bad gear will always sound better than the reverse. In the same way, we too often obsess over lookbooks and luxury items, while only seeing imperfection in what we already own. Although there is indeed value in knowledge, true understanding of any subject comes from experience. Don't let your imperfect wardrobe or .jpeg library of #menswear keep you from putting things on with confidence in the morning. Try things, learn from your mistakes, and have fun.
Practice is the key to improving; money is not.
Many of the items I'm wearing above were cast deep into my closet for not being "perfect;" however, I've learned from the experiences and I still know that if I wear them with confidence nobody will notice their imperfections anyway.

Nice location and quiet room. Modern clean hotel. Extremely close to metro station. Room a little small, which seems to very common here. The shower was... odd - open at one end so it was impossible to keep the bathroom floor completely dry. Did not check out the pool or the exercise room. We did not think the food in the adjacent shop was very good. Instead we found a nice place (Aldehuela Café-bar) on the street to the north. przez Carl S. - CA w dniu 02/11/2013
