"I threw this recipe together one night when I had two chicken breasts to use up. After adding french-fried onions and baked-on barbecue sauce, I was thrilled with how moist and tasty it turned out. My husband was, too!" Jane Holey - Clayton, Michigan
- 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
- 1-1/3 cups French-fried onions, crushed
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Awesome recipe! My grandma got me hooked on using french-fried onions to bread chicken, but the bbq sauce makes it even better! Just make sure you use GOOD Parmesan cheese and bbq sauce. If you don't, it won't taste right.

Wash. to Unveil Voter Registration on Facebook
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - Facebook users in Washington state will have something else to brag about to their online friends: that they registered to vote on Facebook.
The secretary of state's office said Tuesday it will have an application on its Facebook page that allows residents to register to vote and then "like" the application and recommend it to their friends. It's expected to launch as early as next week.
"In this age of social media and more people going online for services, this is a natural way to introduce people to online registration and leverage the power of friends on Facebook to get more people registered," said Shane Hamlin, co-director of elections.
Washington state has had online registration since 2008, and since then, there have been 475,000 registrations or changes of address processed through the system. Washington is one of more than a dozen states that offer online registration.
Hamlin said Washington state is the first to offer voter registration via Facebook.
"We are excited that citizens in Washington state will be able to register to vote and review useful voting information on Facebook," said Facebook spokesman Andrew Noyes.
The state, Facebook Inc. and Microsoft Corp., which developed the application, have been collaborating on the project since last fall, Hamlin said.
Once it's live, Facebook users can click on the application within the secretary of state's Facebook page. They'll need to agree to let Facebook access their information, which will be used to prefill their name and date of birth in the voter registration form. Users will still need to provide a driver's license or state ID card number to continue.
Hamlin said that Facebook doesn't have access to the state's database; its page just overlays the application. Voters will also be able to access the state's "My Vote" site with specific information on candidates and ballot measures.
Hamlin said that beyond giving Facebook permission to use names and dates of birth, voters don't need to worry about their personal information being collected by Facebook.
"You are giving your information to us, not Facebook," he said.

Ashley was born and raised right here in central Indiana. She attended North Central High School, where she became involved with their Radio and TV Broadcasting program.
In high school Ashley became fascinated with weather and how it works. After graduating, she attended Ball State University, where she studied meteorology and broadcasting.
Ashley's voice may be a familiar sound to some of you. Ashley started her career as a radio personality at the Radio One stations, including WHHH, WTLC-FM and WYJZ.
After spending five years at Radio One, Ashley moved to Palm Springs, Calif., where she worked as a meteorologist for the ABC affiliate.
In her four years in Palm Springs, Ashley had the opportunity to experience and forecast monsoons, dust storms and even mountain snow storms.
"Living in Palm Springs was a great learning experience. My favorite part of being a forecaster is being able to research past weather events," Brown said. "Palm Springs is a city with amazing heat records. I enjoyed sharing those water cooler statistics with people."
Ashley is very excited to be back home in the Hoosier state. She is even more excited to work alongside Kevin Gregory and Todd Klaassen.
Ashley grew up watching Kevin and hopes to learn from Kevin's experience as a meteorologist. She'll be working alongside Todd during "Good Morning Indiana."

text: Any radio station ACTUALLY playing "Man in the Box" uncensored between 6am and 10pm is exposing itself to a lot of risk with fines for the content. Now, you might have heard it late at night or you just thought you heard it play uncensored. After all, being a band-edited version, its more seamless than most radio edits. But the simple fact is that no radio station could get away with playing "Man in the Box" during daytime hours without risk of a significant fine. If no one complains, they get away with it, but that's a HUGE risk to take for so little reason.

The old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words is something that every pet owner can relate to and it seems that getting a photo-shoot with our favorite furry friends is becoming more and more popular. Thanks to websites of animal lovers can now enjoy a day with a difference with their pampered pooch or feline companion and end up with a selection of sentimental snaps.
Keen to capture a few priceless photos of your pet and ensure they look the part as well? Then read on…
Dress to impress
Regular visitors to 4-legged will know that there's a wide range of dog clothes, and other pet accessories (designer collars and charms or party pet accessories just to mention few) to help your four-legged friends really stand out from the crowd and what better way to produce extremely personal pictures than by decking them out in all matter of fun outfits. You could even have a series of different pictures taken in different dog outfits that are 20% off now, and then go a stage further by enlisting the help of the many companies offering personalized items such as calendars and give them to friends at family in time for the start of 2012. Or get your cat or dog printed on the side of a coffee mug or on a t-shirt for you to wear. Even better, why not get your picture printed on a t-shirt for your pet to wear and then their picture put on a t-shirt for you to don? Cool or what?
Visit a photo studio
Specialist photographers will know all about how to produce high-quality images of your pet and their behaviour habits so approach a few to get a selection of quotes and see what type of service they offer. Some will have studio facilities that you can visit, while others will prefer to get more 'natural' shots. Also be sure to check out examples of a particular snapper's work for a bit of inspiration and to see what works well. Should you be really pleased with the end result, how about entering the pictures into an animal photography competition? There are plenty online and you may just end up winning a prize as well as making your pet a star. If money is an issue, though, remember you can always take the pictures yourself and you'll be surprised at how good they can turn out even with a cheap digital camera.
Frame those perfect pictures
With the help of companies like SmileBooks, you can get a professionally-bound book of your animal snaps with page after page of memories neatly stored all in one place. It's a simple yet effective way of putting together a collection of pictures that'll have huge sentimental value both now and for years to come. Take the pictures yourself, download the software off the website, put the book together exactly how you want to and then wait for the real thing to arrive through the post. Or you can get a 'professional designer' from SmileBooks to do it all for you and then you sign off the finished product once you're completely happy with it. A personalized pet-related canvas print is another possible idea if you fancy having a picture or two dotted around your home

Yogyakarta was established after a civil war in 1756 between princely brothers, in a disagreement about relations with the Dutch and their use of Javanese slaves in Dutch Guiana (now Suriname). With special status this is the only Indonesian province headed by a monarch, the Sultan. Today it is the more laid-back and cultured alternative to the capital city and business center of Jakarta, on this most populous of Indonesian islands. Gadjah Mada, one of Indonesia's most prominent universities, along with several more private institutions, make this an academic center too, with students making up almost 30% of the population. A center for classical Javanese fine arts and culture such as painting, gamelan music, poetry, drama, puppet shows and dance, the city is also home to an emerging scene of independent filmmakers, experimental musicians, performance and visual artists.
Tourist attractions of Yogya, as it is also called, include: Jalan Malioboro filled with restaurants, inexpensive shops, and crowds of friendly students; the Hindu temple of Prambanan with towers reminiscent of (but predating) Angkor; and the Candi Borobudur, (or Barabudur), an 8th-century Mahayana Buddhist monument with 504 statues of Buddha, once lost and deserted for centuries in nearby Magelang. The "kraton," or Sultan's palace, is at the core of the modern city. Gunung Merapi, just to the north, is Indonesia's most active volcano, with regular eruptions since 1548.
There are also beaches to enjoy at Parangtritis, Baron, Kukup, Krakal and Drini. Silverwork, batik, earthenware pottery, masks, bamboo furniture and leather handcrafts are made locally. The museums Sonobudoyo, Affandi, Kakayon and Vredeburg provide more reasons to visit. Hundreds of budget hotels can be found in Yogyakarta, many of them on Sosrowijayan, by Malioboro, or in the Prawirotaman area, about 3km south of downtown.
Getting here
Adisucipto International Airport connects the city to major Indonesia hubs such as Jakarta (a trip of 7-12 hours), Surabaya, Bali, Makassar, Balikpapan, Banjarmasin, and Pontianak. There is also air service to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Trans Jogja buses will get you from the airport to Prambanan Bus Terminal or to Giwangan Bus Terminal. The Pramex Train connects Maguwo Station, in front of the airport, with Yogyakarta 15 times each day; also the towns of Kutoarjo, Solo, Balapan and Palur.
The city is located on one of two major railway lines across Java between Jakarta/ Bandung and Surabaya. The Tugu Railway Station serves business and executive class trains, and Lempuyangan Station serves economy class trains. Both are downtown.
Getting around
Maps in English can be found at the Tourism Authority offices next to Hotel Mutiara on Jalan Malioboran, at the airport and the train station.
Yogyakarta's taxis are metered and traditional three-wheeled pedal-powered carts, known as becak, can be found all around the city. Regular buses and the air-conditioned patas of TransJogja operate from 6am to 10pm, with stops at designated shelters where tickets can be bought.
Media and resources
Rebecca Tour & Travel will take care of all the details of a trip to this part of Java; all the tourist attractions and places such as Merapi Volcano.
Travelunik Yogyakarta is a gay-friendly tour operator helping visitors to experience the culture, history and scenery of Yogyakarta and Central Java.
For gay info see the Utopia website guide to Asia, and for general tourist information see the YogYes website.
For a glimpse into Javanese mysticism, the influences of Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity and Islam on the original animist religions of the island, and to better understand the way people experience the world from here, see Javenese Mystical Movements.

Gay Yogyakarta
"Varied sexualities are an integral part of Indonesia's cultural mosaic. Many married men and women may also maintain same-sex relationships" - Utopia
To find the small but lively local gay scene, get your bearings at one of several places:
Banana Café (Jalan Parangtritis 64; phone 62 813-9205-6646), gay-owned and managed, inexpensive cafe/bar, Indonesian and international fare.
Boshe Club is a large, mixed, gay-friendly dance club on Jalan Magelang, with live bands nightly.
Hugo's (off the Sheraton Hotel parking lot), an upscale mix of glbt/str8, gayest Saturdays. The Embassy Club, a small disco just behind Hugo's, has a gay dance and drag show night each third Saturday.
The Hyatt Hotel has a sauna that is cruisy on Fridays, but not blatently so.
ViaVia Travelers Café/Restaurant (Jalan Prawirotaman 30), glbt-friendly, world menu includes veggie items, promotes community-based, sustainable tourism. They also have a guesthouse (phone: 62 274-374-748).

Will My License be Denied Because of a Criminal Conviction in My Past?
By: LawInfo
A license could be denied because of a past criminal conviction but it will not necessarily prevent you from getting a license. Most state licensing boards will consider the seriousness of the offense for which you were convicted, the relationship of the offense to the license sought, the amount of time that has passed since your conviction, and your work history, rehabilitation efforts, and personal references since the time of your conviction when deciding whether your license application should be denied because of a past criminal conviction.

4.50 / 5.00 15,461 ViewsMinecraft: TNA Part 19
Upon examining their loot, our heroes find more than they expected...
4.41 / 5.00 9,459 ViewsMany people said in their reviews that the author of the original comic was Legorobot, so I listened to them and changed both the credits and the author comment to give him credit. However, I recently got a mail from Legorobot himself where he told me that he's not the author of the original comic, but that it's someone else with a really similar style.
Since he doesn't want to take credit for someone else's work, I've changed the credits and author comment back again.
EDIT: Holy poop I log on and see this on the frontpage?! Thanks!
Edit: Awesome, my first award! Thanks for the high ratings everyone!
This is an animated version of the original webcomic, it's a tribute to the original author and to the band Mastodon who made the song. (Go buy their albums because they're awesome!)
The original webcomic was created by an anonymous author whom I'm not able to credit since there's no name written in the comic. I do not take credit for anything else than the animation. This flash is a hobby project made for fun, and I'm not making any profit whatsoever from it.
This project took a lot longer to finish than I expected, a lot of problems appeared when I worked on it. First of all the original voice actor didn't reply to my emails or send me his lines as I needed them, I had a lot to do in school, and the sound didn't sync properly when I exported what I had done so far. I gave up and forgot about the whole thing for a couple of months. However, I decided to take it like a man and finish the whole thing up. I got a new voice actor, Druoxtheshredder (He's awesome!), and I were able to fix the sync issues thanks to Knugen.
Well, I hope you enjoy it!
Here's a link to the original comic: http://i48.tinypic.com/2m 49ffc.jpg
(You'll have to remove the spaces in the links, Newgrounds puts them there automatically)
now that's just messed up.
He Moby Dicked that fucker.
He sure did!
Dude how true is that conversation? VERY TRUE! LOL animation was good and I loved the captain ahab stuff as well! Keep this up!
As always stay wicked
that was so awesome!!! dude anytime u guys make another post this stuff right away!!

This is just based my experience, and YMMV. I haven't had to deal with this in quite a while (thank goodness). In general, if you can guarantee in some fashion that jobs are limited and bound to the number of real processors available and not HyperThreads, then there is some (almost immeasurable?) benefit to leaving it on to help handle the various OS stuff running in the background. If you have a scheduler assigning jobs based on the how many CPUs a system appears to have, you will want to turn it off. Basically in my humble opinion, it's safer and easier to turn off unless you can explicitly state when it will prove useful and then somehow make it behave in that manner. Here's a relevant link.... http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/articles/eng/2510.htm > I inherited a cluster containing a bunch > of Xeon-based compute nodes.

There are a vast number of talented illustrators around the world but skill in art is only one side of the spectrum needed to be a professional artist. It also takes strong organizational skills, a sense of self motivation, and most importantly, a background in business. Michael Oswald is a varied artist and have all these qualities.

I have found that some recent releases for RBN have broken practice sections.
In practice mode only the option to play the full song appears, but doing so shows that the sections have indeed been charted, as they flash up as you play through in practice mode.
I'm only a light RBN user, but have found a couple of songs like this, and was hoping for some help compiling a list so we can find out how widespread the problem is, and if anything can be done to fix it
Songs with Non-Playable Practice Mode Sections
- Seether "Country Song"
- Rose of Jericho "Midnight Eyes (RB3 Version)"
Thanks, hopefully we can get this to the attention of charters and testers so that the issue can be worked out of future song releases!

When Tatyana Sharfman applied to immigrate to the United States, she was not yet sure that she wanted to leave her native country of Russia. Her aunt, who had left Russia in 1992 and now lives in the San Fernando Valley, was determined to bring over the rest of the family, and so Sharfman began to fill out the necessary documents.
"She kept asking us, 'What are you doing over there?'" Sharfman recalled. "We didn't take it seriously, really, but we filled out some papers just because we had these papers."
Sharfman knew that it was typically a long process to emigrate from Russia, and she did not really expect to be accepted. However, one day the approved documents were returned by the government, and her family faced a life-changing decision: "To come or not to come?"

Hey guys.
I just want to take a moment to talk about Adipose Annihilation v2
It functions to:
Increase fat burning
Shift metabolism
Increase carbohydrate storage
Reduce hunger
Reduce insulin spikes
Waste calories
Aid metabolism
Enhanced focus
So as a whole product your getting not only a fat burner with alpha y. But a glucose disposal agent as well from the hca.
Couple that with the other ingredients you can really add this product to any stack to help you get to your goal
Jus because its labeled as a fat burner does not mean it won't aid in other goals.
Most of you know that version one was just way to potent with capsaicinoids.
Adipose annihilation v2 has much much less per capsule at .5mg capsaicinoids and 33% of which is capsaisin.
While using this product it's important to understand tolerance. You must really assess it and if you can't handle it on empty stomach. You should take it 60-90 minutes after a meal and this will stop any heart burn from capsaicin

LG was out and about in New York this week. They weren't Christmas shopping, but they were certainly showing off items that people might want to pencil into next year's wishlist.
The LW9500 and LW7700 NANO FULL LED TV series feature NANO Lighting Technology, which boasts brighter, better images. While that may not seem possible, how these sets deliver the goods is pretty impressive. According to the announcement: "An extremely thin film printed with a proprietary light dispersion pattern combined with a full array of LEDs disperses light more evenly across the screen, creating pictures that are brighter and more uniform than conventional edge-lit LED sets."
What could be better than that? Well, both the LW9500 and LW7700 boast improved localized dimming in both 2D and 3D, via Micro Pixel Control.
Planned screen sizes range from 47 to 60 inches, with LG's TruMotion 480Hz for the LW9500 and TruMotion 240Hz for the LW7700. Other features include an Anti-Reflection Panel and a super-thin profile. Both are also currently going through the THX 2D and 3D Display Certification process.
Sure, there are plenty of unanswered questions, including whether the sets will get Wi-Fi and NetCast features, as well as pricing and availability info. Expect some of those gaps to be filled (please?) when the sets are shown off at next month's Consumer Electronics Show.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish
By Denise Gustavson - Thursday October 6, 2011I got the news last night that Steve Jobs had passed away and much like everyone else, have been reflecting on his work and the innovations he helped inspire. I didn't know him personally. I never had the opportunity to meet him or interview him. I just used the products his company invented. In grade school, I learned "keyboard" on one of the earliest Macintosh computers. My first home desktop computer was an Apple—as was my second. My first laptop, you guessed it: a Mac (followed by several others as the years and technology progressed. While my first mobile phone was a huge Nokia, when I finally graduated to a smartphone I turned to the iPhone (and won't look back now). For music…an iPod of course—and I have several... -
By Denise Gustavson - Tuesday September 6, 2011There are dates and events in everyone's lives that are pivotal moments; moments that turn everything on its side and upside down; moments which change the way we view the world and everything within. August 31, 1997 was one such date for me. While the world that day was morning the loss of Princess Diana, I had only just arrived in a small hospital in Canada at the end of a 750 mile road trip—a few hours too late. My grandmother had died a few short hours before as my family and I were racing to get there in time for my mother to say her goodbyes. Up until that point in time, I hadn't personally been affected by death, but at that moment when we walked into the hospital and were told we were too late everything simply…shifted. June... -
Wide-Format on the Web
By Denise Gustavson - Tuesday June 28, 2011Each week we're all bombarded by so much. From television to radio to the internet, we're surrounded by news. I have the added benefit of being on the receiving end of various PR feeds and distribution lists, so my inbox is overflowing nearly each and every day. I also make it a point to look for interesting and unique stories and blog posts that make me think and/or make me stop and say "Wow. That's cool." I don't always have the opportunity to share these unless it's through social media. So, for this blog, I'm going to run through a few that really stood out to me over the past few weeks. 40 Dangerously Creative Billboard Ads via @SignsByTomorrow http://bit.ly/l1evqT Billboards are everywhere—we can all attest to that. But some... -
Industry Trends Video Extravaganza
By Denise Gustavson - Monday June 6, 2011I have to admit, it's been a whirlwind since my last post. Between various trade shows, a really quick vacation, pre Graph Expo Show Daily planning, regular monthly issues, a little side project about the history of the wide-format industry (check out LinkedIn for more on that) and the launch of the MyPrintResource portal website, I can't say that I've had a moment to sit and simply breathe. But, at the recent 2011 ISA Sign Expo, I had the opportunity—and the complete pleasure—to sit down with 12 industry leaders to talk about some of the critical issues facing the wide-format industry in the beginning of 2011. Some of these folks I'd only had the opportunity to talk with via email or over the phone, so it was a pleasure to meet them... -
Macro Forces Affecting the Wide-Format Market
By Denise Gustavson - Wednesday April 6, 2011During the GOA/FESPA Americas 2011 show in Orlando last week, I had the opportunity to attend and take part in the FESPA Global Business Forum. Stretching across two days, the sessions provided some topical and strategic information for wide-format business owners. I also had the pleasure to moderate a session (The Digital Debate) on Friday afternoon featuring Frank Mallozzi Senior VP of Sales and Marketing, EFI; Robert Smithson, Chief Executive, Trinity Graphic US.A; Anders Nilsson, Owner, Gamleby Screen; and Professor Qinguo Fan, University of Massachusetts. During the opening session of the Global Business Forum, FESPA's Frazer Chesterman and Marcus Timson presented 10 marco forces affecting the wide- and grand-format... -
Any Way You Want It
By Denise Gustavson - Wednesday April 6, 2011Is it just me or are we seeing a lot more of the high-end cars wrapped in all sorts of graphics and films? I'm not talking about the high-end cars you normally see tooling about on the highways and byways across the country. Epson America, Avery Graphics, and SkinzWraps joined forces to wrap a Bugatti Veyron during SEMA 2010. Take for example the Seiko "Ultimate Wrap Experience" at SGIA. Each day of the show APE Wraps wrapped a $400,000 Rolls Royce in various designs. Granted it was a demo, but the car certainly was amazing to look at. You can see pictures of the car (and wrap) on the front cover of WFI's SGIA 2010 Post Show Guide. And then a week or so later, SkinzWraps took it up another notch at SEMA. Partnering with... -
Calvin Klein, QR Codes, and You
By Denise Gustavson - Wednesday April 6, 2011Last week Calvin Klein kicked off its 2010 Fall advertising campaign in NYC and LA. For one short week, Calvin Klein Jeans replaced three of its billboards—two in downtown New York and one on Sunset Boulevard in LA—with a bright red QR code under the words "Get It Uncensored.†View the billboards at: Mashable http://mashable.com/2010/07/13/calvin-klein-qr-code-billboard/ Gizmodo http://gizmodo.com/5587753/nycs-sexiest-billboard-doesnt-care-for-dumphones Those with Smartphones—a limited market at present—could scan the QR code and view a 40-second Calvin Klein commercial.

Into the Belly of the Beast
By Denise Gustavson - Wednesday April 6, 2011Last week I had the opportunity to head to Chicago for a press and analyst meeting with Océ North America. It was an interesting—and information-packed – meeting, focusing primarily on the technical documents market. We discussed many of the trends affecting the technical documents market such as: Increased decentralization as printing is pushed downstream, i.e. deliver digitally, print locally Increased use of electronic document workflow, primarily PDF Increased adoption of BIM and Integrated Project Delivery Transition from monochrome to color printing in AEC More complex GIS applications One of the topics we delved into in detail was about the ROI for measuring a realistic return through the use of color... -
Designing "Wow"
By Denise Gustavson - Wednesday April 6, 2011Okay. So how many of you are HGTV junkies? Raise your hands. I have to admit, I probably watch more HGTV than a single girl should. But how can you beat men working with power tools? But I digress. If you've been watching HGTV, you may have noticed how more and more, many of the designers have been turning to digitally printed projects to really turn their interior designs up a notch. Take for instance the new program "The Antonio Treatment". This show is a one-hour weekly docu-design series where he Antonio Ballatore will make over multiple rooms in various locations that are suffering from drab decor. In several episodes so far, digitally printed, wide-format graphics have taken center stage to the redesigns he's created. In...

I think before my GOVT continues with this BS and other countries continue letting them the idea of Piracy needs to be re-evaluated. I believe that most forms of art and other types of Intellectual Properties are simply an extension of something that already exists. Here is a perfect example You can use an image to create your own as long as you don't profit from it... But if you use said image to profit even if changed it is Piracy unless you get permission from the original creator. Example: This would be Piracy as the Image is clearly a play off of the original. Where do you stop or start protecting... The idea is to protect Intellectual Property to make it easier people to continue innovating and creating. But I think the protections we are offering are stifling the creation and innovation we mean to protect.
So you didn't base that off of another very similar image/emblem? as in colored differently? without a TPU logo? and different wording?
I was all ready to jump in here and say 'See, see. Lawyers suck huh? Well, who you gonna call now bitch?' Except I figured it might be nice to have some actual . . . ummm, what do you call it? Oh, right. I figured it would be nice to have actual facts first. When I did a quick search, I was very, very disappointed. Copyright for artists.
My flight sim, Rise of Flight, because it's a small company, and produced an obscure market product, as in WW1 flight sim, relies heavily on torrents ect to distrubute its demo version, and even updates. I've invested over $150 into this incredible product, because I believe in it, and thoroughly enjoy flying it. If this ap2p crap kills my sim, I am going to be incredibly pissed.
You could have just asked.....been doing it for over 15 years. I bet you really thought you had me too did ya? lol
A skull with a cap isn't a new idea. But mine is an original painting of that idea. What you posted is irrelevant. I can show you 100 more skulls with cap. Thats like saying music is copyrighted because it has notes it in. I mean you guys are really grabbing at straws now. Oh and on a side note I draw MUCH BETTER realistic skulls then that. This is another one of my designs.
LOL vanilla ice tried to play it off like it has a different sound... BS I just listened to both and it was EXACTLY the same!
Naaaaa Just wanted to make sure people don't take a troll as truth. I knew what you were doing ya bastid! By the way did you like my pirate skull?
No...I'm not trying to get you at anything...I'm trying to point out how ridiculous the laws regarding IP is...It's not geared toward the original artist nor the consumer...it seems to be geared towards CORPs...
Ok, seriously now… enough with the whole "I'm a massive victim of internet piracy with my drawings"… You draw some pictures that are only perhaps valuable for a specific useage that the average person on the street would never actually pay for…. Movies and music albums on the other hand have an actual value if packaged correctly for the average joe on the street and are catered for them specifically. If you want to sell your artwork to the average person on the street you need to put them in a frame and sell them as physical copies somewhere and stop bitching that you have uploaded it to the internets and someone has saved it to their hardrive. I don't mean to be rude but a couple of drawings in paintshop pro or photoshop is a very specific item and only commercially viable to some entity who wants to perhaps use it for their specific business useage as a logo or advert, banner etc…(or they wouldn't need to pay for it in the first place and just draw it themselves). If you have been specifically commissioned to draw something by a person or company, then you draw it, give it to them & get paid, simple…. After that it belongs to that company as you sold it and if someone else pirates it it has nothing to do with you. What I think is more likely here is that there's probably not a whole bunch of companies lining up around each other to commission your artwork and you are just drawing a bunch of stuff, uploading it to some image stock library or aggregator in the hope that some company wants to use your picture on their website or advertising campaign and then pay you lots of money for it. If that's the case and any of your artwork actually gets used for anything profitable then the image library or aggregator would seek the funds from that entity by threatening them with a lawsuit or similar action. Actually if that is the case and the average joe on the street wants to right click and save as on your pics then you should feel good about that and encourage it, thats how you get a market and reach people… why should they pay for it if they not going to do anything except look at it? You think you are Picasso… youd need to die first, wait for a hundred years and have art worthy of that status im afraid So this brings me back to the point… how is this damaging you so intensely that you feel as enraged by the whole internet piracy thing as you appear to be… or is it a bit of ego tripping telling us about you fantastic ability and how much money you are potentially missing you because large corporations around the globe are pirating your works and using them in large advertising campaigns? EDIT: wow this appeared to be a massive flame on you personally... i apologise, it wasnt a personal attack as much as a bullshit splicer... i donty like bullshit much ... sorry
if i made my own digital image/logo with thoughts of selling or caring about my copyrights...i sure as heck wouldnt up the full size version of it. just a low res thumbnail on a website with right click disabled or something.
Oh I didn't take it personal. You don't know what I do for a living and are basing all of your theories off of a few dated jpegs. I can't be mad at the fact your ignorant of a situation or how an industry works in the slightest sense. You don't work in it. You couldn't know. Like most other people who support theft and make excuses you are trying to justify a position you know for a fact is wrong by belittling someone who exposes you. Someone it does effect. I agree. I don't like bullshit anymore then you do. Edit: Also its not an ego when I can back it up. I bet most people on this forum has worn my art or purchased something with my designs on it in the past. That art has been bought and paid for. I have permission from the owner to display it as I'm the creator. If someone uses it they have to face the corporation not me.
i think your too much on one side their MM, I do in all honesty buy a lot of games ,this is easy to check as my id is allways the same and steams easy to see, yeh some have more, but ive a dvd rack full of original old hardcopy games too and i buy on a monthly basis what i fancy that month, but some games that have no demo out and are not my cup of tea i may try before i buy , i dont shed a tear since ive 5 games that wont start at the min due to Being original (yet to sort via email Again) or i may have to crack them, and if i dont buy it i dont play past a quick go hr tops i prirate nothing ,sell or give to no one and i dont art, writing or style copy anyone or anything, it could be argued that some of the news on here was grabbed off other sites, a form of piracy, im just happy their here to read a good argument in a way, imagine the inovations that arnt being made due to closed doors and corporate secrecy, i work for a mass spec company making instruments for science and i cant help but ponder how fast the cutting edge would move on if all coóperated

Occupational Health and Safety Technologist
Quick Jumps: Preliminary Designations + OHST Certificate Programs + OHST Review and Study Sources + OHST Retired Status
The Occupational Health and Safety Technologist (OHST)
Occupational Health and Safety Technologists are persons who perform occupational health and safety activities on a full-time or part-time basis as part of their job duties. Some examples of occupational health and safety activities (also performed by loss control specialists) are making worksite assessments to determine risks, potential hazards and controls, evaluating risks and hazard control measures, investigating incidents, maintaining and evaluating incident and loss records, and preparing emergency response plans.
OHST candidates:
- May work part-time or full-time in occupational health or safety (35% is the minimum)
- Have duties that require technical skills and knowledge in occupational health or safety
- Must have five years of experience in occupational health or safety
- Must pass the OHST examination
Candidates may substitute college courses in health and safety or an associate degree or higher in certain disciplines for some or all of the experience requirement. Degrees that may be substituted for experience are noted in BCSP's education standards. Students in associate or higher degree programs in occupational safety and health may sit for the examination during their last semester.
To retain the OHST certification, individuals must:
- Pay an annual renewal fee
- Meet Recertification requirements
The OHST program is nationally accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
Interim Designations
BCSP will no longer award new AOHST designations after December 31, 2013.
OHST Certificate Programs
Candidates for the OHST may waive some of the experience requirement by completing a certificate program in safety and health recognized by BCSP. Certificate programs can be operated by either an academic institution or by a private or governmental organization.
Here is a list of certificate programs that qualify for credit toward the OHST certification:
- Central Maine Community College - Occupational Health and Safety Technologist Certificate (1 1/4 year)
- Texas Engineering Extension Service - Texas Engineering Extension Service (TEEX)- Certified Safety and Health Official™ - (1 year)
- Keene State College - Region 1 Certified Safety and Health Official (1/2 year)
OHST Review and Study Sources
Because candidates for BCSP examinations often ask where to locate review courses and study materials, BCSP maintains a list strictly as a courtesy. For a detailed list, click on the Review and Study Sources page. Additionally, BCSP has created a Library of Safety Practice containing the most up-to-date source material for every domain on the exams.
OHST Retired Status
This status means a person is no longer active as a health and safety practitioner on a part-time or full-time basis. It does not necessarily mean that someone is retired from active employment in general.
Retired Status will be discontinued on December 31, 2013. To return to Active Status, Retired Status holders can reinstate before that date or reapply.

RBN is not for major labels/bands. Get over it! If an artist this big want's to be in RB it will be done the traditional way (which guarantees quality and bigger revenues).
GT Zomas | X All | 424 Songs | 407 GS
Yeah i really think people are expecting way too much from this. Its just going to be 99% indie bands who otherwise would not get this sort of marketing and extra revenue. To think that, say, Led Zepplin or bands of that nature will do their own charts are kidding themselves. And thats the way it should be. Let HMX do the big names while the unknown bands do it for exposure.
Check out my DLC. dlcquickplay.com/songs/aspiringyouth
If you like them, add me PSN: AsPiRiNgYoUtH
I think that a deal has already been made and old stuff is coming. HMX just agreed to release Chi Democracy first......
Um, how would Axl stick it to Slash by releasing "old" GNR via the RBN when it would still require Slash's okay to go forward.
Unless Slash doesn't have any IP rights to the material anymore.
Tiger Uppercut: Platinum Artist | Expert: G/B | Hard: D/V
Song Count: 831 | Newest: "Great Balls of Fire" & "Dog Days Are Over"
Just, no.
DLC Wish List: Styx (Grand Illusion full album), INXS (Kick full album), Dire Straits (Making Movies full album)
I think Slash has the right to play the old songs at concerts, but he didn't technically have the OK to send off Welcome to the Jungle to GH3. You gotta wonder how much control ANY of the members have, seeing how the record company is way damn in debt from a decade of recording Chinese Democracy, and neither Axl nor Slash could stop a "Greatest Hits" release.
Also, I have butter cookies!

When we think of aliya, the earliest images that come to mind are of young pioneers in the early Twentieth Century, arriving from Russia or Poland with empty pockets and hearts brimming with passion to settle the ancient Jewish homeland. And yet, nearly 800 years earlier, one of the world's better-known men made the same journey, giving up a life of fame and fortune in Spain, to fulfill his firm belief that only in Eretz Yisrael, the land of Israel, can a Jew live a life that's spiritually complete.
Yehuda Halevi—physician, philosopher, poet—is the subject of the new biography by Hillel Halkin, a writer and translator who himself made aliya, moving to Zikhron Ya'akov in the 1970s. I spoke to Halkin about Halevi, his poetry, and the lasting influence of his ideas. Click here to read more.

Shabbat was epic…..Estee [my wife] was cooking for 2 days straight to get all of the food ready (we were expecting to have 15 people), and she really outdid herself; halfway through the first course a few people jokingly said 'this is the first, second and third course all at the same time, right?'. I remember being in the middle of a conversation with someone in the earlier part of the meal, and we both looked up and noticed that half of the table had gotten up from their seats and were either engaged in conversation with one another on our couch, and a few others were up roaming around the living room looking at Jewish art, interpreting what they thought was going on in some of the various pieces we have up. Estee looked at me and we both started laughing that people felt so comfortable to just do their own thing. We've definitely had our fair share of hosting Shabbat meals, and this was the first time EVERYONE felt and made themselves at home. The one constant during the evening was laughter—people could not stop laughing and cracking jokes. After recovering from the first meal, we moved onto the soup course and then to the main course, during which things got REALLY interesting…...
I picked up a tradition of asking a 'question of the week' from my Rabbi, Yonah Bookstein, and I figured a question about Israel would probably be appropriate (I wanted to ask about people's Birthright experiences, however Estee thought keeping the question in a more general format made more sense, because not everyone at the table had been on Birthright). After having a l'chaim in praise and thanks to Birthright Israel NEXT for hosting the meal, and a quick explanation of the Birthright Israel NEXT Shabbat program, the question was "What does Israel mean to you?'" It's hard to explain what happened next…..It was one of the epic 'life conversations' that I have had time and time again during my experiences in Jerusalem. Every person's insights and perspective was slightly more profound than the last, and everyone was totally vested and involved in the conversation, sitting on the edge of their seats waiting to hear what would come next, with each person's thoughts lead to another's contribution to the discussion. I could never have expected the question and subsequent answers to create such a deep forum for connection in my living room…I think we talked about it for 45 minutes. It was hard to tell because time seemed to stand still. People talked about how Israel changed their life, how it's really a mind-set as much of a place, their life-changing experiences at the kotel, funny things that had happened that only happen in israel, or how it steered their life in one direction or another. We had the kind of transcendental Israel experience that is usually limited to happening while you are in Israel, but in my living room.
I ran into one of the girls that was with us for Shabbat yesterday, and she said 'Eric, I had an unbelievable time last Shabbat, and I'm not exactly sure why…..I think it was the question…...it's funny because I was at another organization's event the other night and we asked the same question as an ice-breaker for the meeting, and it did not elicit anywhere near what came out last Friday night'. A few other people Estee and I have talked to shared the same sentiment as well. All in all, it was one of our best Shabbat hosting experiences ever, and one of my personal favorites for Friday night meals in general. Thank you so much for putting this program together and making it available to connect and reconnect young Jews to such an important part of Jewish life.
Usually what happens at the Shabbos table stays at the Shabbos table, but I have wanted to share this with you since everyone left on Friday night.
What is NEXT Shabbat?
Host a meal on a Friday night or Saturday and Birthright Israel NEXT picks up the tab!
Giving Taglit-Birthright Israel alumni hosting meals in the United States or Canada up to $18 per person for up to 16 people, NEXT Shabbat wants you to celebrate Shabbat your way. Redefine rest with a traditional family dinner or take a break from the daily grind with fifteen of your friends at a picnic in the park. Whether your dinner has four people or forty, is home-cooked or take-out, involves singing or just schmoozing, get creative and greet Shabbat with your own flair.
Shabbat brings together food, drink, music, and celebration. Traditionally candles are lit, bread is blessed and wine is drunk. Create your own rituals or reconnect to the old.
NEXT Shabbat allows you to take charge of your personal involvement in Jewish life and define and create your own community.

The first time I realized that Jews had money was when I began attending Hebrew school at my synagogue in fifth grade. I remember staring at Lindsay Stein's maroon wool sweatshirt that said "Fitch" in white letters and having no idea what it meant. I thought that maybe it was a bad word, since it rhymed with one.
But no, it was a brand name, Abercrombie & Fitch, of course, and it was the first time I realized there was a such thing as a "brand name." Suddenly it seemed like everyone but me was wearing brand name clothing. I began noticing how lame my Kohl's bootcut jeans looked next to their A&F flares. When I asked my mother to buy me these expensive lines of clothing, she laughed.
"What do you need those for?" she said.
"You want me to pay $90 for jeans that come with holes already in them? They're shmatas – I don't think so."
That was when I started feeling inadequate.
Once the bar and bat mitzvah years approached, the differences between my background and theirs became even more apparent. I remember the after-parties: artists hired to draw caricatures of guests, photo booths where you could take a photo that would be transferred to a button that said "Jacob's Bar Mitzvah – July 10th, 1997″ around the border, entire buildings of country clubs rented out and elaborately decorated to look like a "winter wonderland." My bat mitzvah party was in the synagogue social hall. It was nice, but certainly humble compared to my peers'.
We've never been poor. My parents both have masters degrees and good jobs. We've never had financial assistance from the government as far as I know, not that there's anything shameful about that. We took vacations, went out to eat every Thursday, and my parents paid for my entire college education. But we were simply always middle class, like most of my peers that attended public school with me in St. Paul, MN. And I never felt bad about that until I started my Jewish education. My peers at Hebrew school were all from the suburbs, had huge houses, their mothers all had plastic surgery–you could simply tell they just came from money.
If it were just that they were richer than me, maybe I would have gotten over it. But these girls were also snobby, cliquey, and simply not that nice. I never became good friends with any of them. I remember crying one Sunday morning on the way to the synagogue because of how much I dreaded feeling like an outsider when I was there.
I would have eventually figured out that there were people out there who were much wealthier than me. But I regret that it had to be Judaism that introduced me to it. It put a bad taste in my mouth — one that took many good Jewish experiences for me to get over. As I became older, I started life guarding at the Jewish Community Center. I volunteered with little kids for the JCC plays. The summer after 9th grade, I became a camp counselor at Jewish day camp, where I made a ton of friends and had one of the best summers of my life, and great experiences over the three summers that followed. I went on a Birthright Israel trip my senior year in college, which gave my perception of Judaism a new richness, and eventually led me to where I am now, working at an exciting Jewish organization that does follow-up for Birthright Israel alumni and their peers.
I want to excel in my career and become successful to the point where I don't have to worry about money, where I can go out to eat whenever I want, own a nice home, and take vacations. I value money to the extent that it can help me live a comfortable lifestyle. But my views on money will always be informed by the way my parents raised me and the things they taught me – that I shouldn't flaunt my money, that I should follow a budget and pad my savings account, and as for brand names, they can be overrated.

I had already been to Santa Ynez for wine tasting once before. I'd even been to one of the same vineyards we visited. I had visited Santa Barbara on countless occasions, but I'd never done any of these things with Birthright Israel NEXT LA. Drinking wine is always fine, but things are always more fun when you're hanging with fellow members of the tribe!
I arrived at the designated meeting spot to board an awesome, deluxe, decked out, air-conditioned coach, complete with our own snack bar, and filled with 50 of my Birthright Israel NEXT LA peers. Even though it was 8:00 am on a Sunday morning, there was a party vibe in the air. We were ready for an adventure (and to get our drink on)!
During our bus ride to Santa Barbara we enjoyed some lessons on the relevancy of wine to the Jewish religion, how to select a wine that is kosher for Passover, and current trends in Israeli viticulture. These lessons set the stage by providing a Jewish context to enjoy the day's experiences.
We spotted some windmills and enjoyed some pastry during a brief visit to the Danish village of Solvang, took a comprehensive tour and sampled some libations at Firestone, enjoyed lunch and some delicious Sauvignon Blanc with some emus at Koehler, savored some Viognier amongst the lush scenery of Curtis, and enjoyed some chofesh (free time) in the quaint town of Los Olivos.
While in Los Olivos I spent my time traipsing (alright, hobbling) around town with a small group of friends. We went olive oil tasting, which was quite possibly the highlight of my day, and partook in one more wine tasting at the Epiphany tasting room before re-boarding the bus back to L.A.
The ride home was a peaceful one. Replete with vino from a day full of tastings, many of the passengers were feeling quite relaxed and sleepy. For those who were still awake, however, there was a private coach screening of Sideways – very apropos! Around the time that the movie ended, we arrived back to where we started, retrieved our day's purchases and souvenir wine glasses from under the bus, and got into our cars to head home and prepare for Pesach.
What I continue to enjoy about Birthright Israel NEXT LA's events is that they serve as a comfortable setting for Jews of all backgrounds, where elements of contemporary, mainstream society are seamlessly blended with Judaism in an elegant and successful way. When I attend their events, I can be a Jew and an Angeleno simultaneously, I don't have to choose which role I'd like to play on that particular day or evening. As an involved member of the Los Angeles Jewish community, the dilemma with which I am so often presented when planning my evenings out is "will tonight be centered around Judaism, or will it be a night for soaking up some good ole funky Los Angeles culture?" I am never posed with this question when I partake in a NEXT LA function. The city is my oyster (of course metaphorically, as I would never endorse treif), and Birthright Israel NEXT LA is my M.C.
As for me, the bottles I acquired on my journey are still in my kitchen waiting to be uncorked, possibly even at an upcoming NEXT Shabbat dinner. Kudos to the organizers for executing such a successful and enjoyable trip! I can't wait for the next one…be sure to save me a seat!

Coming out can bring out a wide range of emotions – liberating, difficult, scary, fun, slow, sudden, not actually surprising to everyone but you, political, and super confusing.
For example, the first time I had a crush on a girl was super confusing. Rachel was, like myself, a nice Jewish girl and she happened to sit next to me in Modern Lit class. The important thing to know about Rachel though, was not only that she sat next to me, but that she often wore low cut and loose fitting shirts and sometimes they fell forward and I could see her boobs.
It was the best thing ever.
Simultaneously, it was weird and inexplicable and obviously didn't mean anything. I had already been through a handful of boyfriends, so I was completely certain having a crush on Rachel did not mean I was a lesbian. On the contrary, I decided having a crush on Rachel meant I was totally normal, because she was hot and all of my guy friends had crushes on her. This weird thing, I decided, had everything to do with her shirts being irresistibly sexy and nothing at all to do with me.
I had successfully convinced myself I was into shirts, not girls. Several years later when I went on my first date with a girl, I explained to the few friends I told that I just "really liked her piercings." And about a year after that, when I first slept with a girl, I realized that these sorts of explanations were probably no longer going to work.
Because I wasn't sure how to tell my family and friends from home that I wasn't straight anymore, after 18 years of evidence to the contrary, the first people I talked to about these new experiences and the questions they raised were my college friends at Hillel. When I tell other people in the LGBTQ community that the first place I came out was in my religious community, their reactions tend to range from surprise to disbelief. For many of my queer friends, religion is dangerous terrain, full of enemy soldiers laying in wait to attack with cures for homosexuality and promises of an eternity spent unloved. This hostile environment is not exclusive to Evangelical Christianity, but can materialize in the most liberal of churches, in small talk with a fellow member of the tribe, or in the mosque. I was blessed with an entirely different experience.
For me, Hillel was a safe place (looking back, even the safest place) to come out because my friends there were also family. We enjoyed each others company and conversation, but in addition to that, we were Jewish. There was a bond between us that could not be broken, and I held on tightly to that as I reinvented myself.
As I sorted through the new questions that arose with each of my new experiences with girls – like, was I interested in women romantically as well as physically? Is this whole thing really worth potentially upsetting my poor mother? And, am I allowed to call myself "queer" when most of my relationships until now have been with men? – I started to rely more and more on the ritual of Shabbat. Once a week, Shabbat allowed me to take a deep breath and set aside the uncertainties. For one day, I focused my energy on celebrating the answers I had found and appreciating the community that sustained me.
It's been about a year since I first admitted to my best friend and fellow Hillel board member that I might be kind of into girls as well as guys. I'm definitely queer and Jewish and while my mother is not yet able to say LGBTQ three times fast, she has a pretty solid understanding of a few other new terms, including bisexual, Prop 8, partner, and dental dam.
One last thing – Rachel came out about six months ago.

I deliberated, in a state of semi-committed complexity. Jewish? Kind of. When returning from my Birthright trip, and rejoining my relatively non-Jewish community of friends in San Francisco, I wondered how much closer to my people, my religion and my homeland I considered myself. An affinity, bright and enduring, for the state of Israel grew from my experience. But I still felt no personal connection to any Jewish communities, never invited to a Shabbat dinner, no mezuzah hanging from my door way. The weeks and months passed, my Birthright trip amusements and memories nudging slowing down the darkening hallways of my recollection. Then I moved to LA, the California haven for Jews of all variety. My use of Yiddish ceased to be met with awkward looks of confusion. I could get a decent chopped liver sandwich. During Hanukkah, giant menorahs and festive accoutrement bedecked the businesses of my Los Feliz neighborhood. And I joined, by the workings of cosmic destiny, the Birthright Israel NEXT LA community as an administrative assistant. I went to their events initially out of professional obligation, and then perpetually, unable to sever myself from the major feeling of missing out that would happen if I couldn't make Queen Esther's Old Sschool Skate Party, the cooking classes at Sur la Table, or Sweatin' to the Oldies with Richard Simmons. The awesomeness of the events paired with a sense of inclusivity and diversity of the community hooked me.
I joined the Birthright Israel NEXT team and partners at its annual national conference in New Orleans. The 4 day extravaganza, highlighted by the sweet and nostalgic Havdalah in the park (arms interlocked and singing together), felt more like my days at Jewish sleep away camp in the hills of Malibu, than a work related event. Our discussion ventured to ask what the future of Judaism looked like, our role in Judaism's evolution, and its role in our lives. I left feeling more connected to the Jewish community, seeing my place in Jewish culture, and understanding the breadth of my relationship to it as a religion, a community and a way of living.
There is a quote from The Talmud that says, "Every blade of grass has its Angel that bends over it and whispers, Grow, Grow." I take from Judaism the insight and wisdom offered and I apply it to my own small life. In this way, my development as a human is enriched by self-knowledge and world awareness. We are all composed of pieces, like the colorful constituents that create light. At this point, I'd say, being Jewish contributes to my wholeness like a sliver of luminosity.

9/11 anniversary

Metro Detroit volunteers to mark 9/11 anniversary
By Sarah Hulett
About 700 people are expected to mark the 10thanniversary of the 9-11 attacks with a day of service in Detroit.
More than ten organizations are spearheading the event, called "Acts of Kindness," or AOK Detroit.
Kate Casa is with the social services agency ACCESS. She says the success of a smaller effort last year, combined with the 10thanniversary, will make for a large turnout.
"I think those are both factors in the interest this year. I think people saw this as a really positive way to memorialize what was a sad event, and to turn that into something that can be positive."
Volunteers will be based at Focus: HOPE in Detroit. They'll pack food boxes and clean up vacant lots in the surrounding neighborhood as part of the service project.

Old Ickabod | Route Climbed: Blanca to Ellingwood Traverse Date Climbed: 9/30/05 | |
What an awesome one-day solo ascent of Blanca and Ellingwood. Parked about one mile past the trailhead and began hiking at 7am. Summitted Blanca at 11:45am, the last 100 feet was a little more time consuming because of fresh ice and snow. Stayed about 150 to 200 feet below the ridge while traversing to Ellingwood. No snow or ice on Ellingwood. Some route finding issues on the way down Ellingwood. Hiked out and returned to the truck by 6pm. I love fourteeners in the Fall! | ||

Hiked up to Lake Como from 8800', set up camp, and then continued on to the Southwest Ridge. I took a fairly direct path from the unnamed lake to the low point of the ridge. The ridge was exciting - it looks in numerous places to be harder than 3rd class - but there is always an easy way around any difficulties. One of the best 3rd class routes I've done! | ||

I had a fun night and day in the Lake Como basin, and climbed a somewhat obscure route on Ellingwood's south face: a small fissure to the east of the larger crease between the summit block and the southwest ridge (the one that most south face ascenders use). This one goes straight for the summit from the top of the talus slope just north of the lower Crater Lake. The storm at Lake Como the night before was atrocious. I'm surprised nobody was killed. Trip report here. | ||

Grant | Route Climbed: Como Lake - Standard Route Date Climbed: Sept 21, 2003 | |
A little past Como Lake are the Blue Lakes which are at timberline. From there I could see Ellingwood and Blanca (ascended it last year). There was a lot more snow up there more than I thought. I had come this far I wasn't going to turn around now. The next lake along the trail is Crater Lake at 13,000 feet. The snow was averaging about a foot deep now. There were other people up there that day so a trail had been cut in the snow, but everybody ahead of me was going to Blanca. The last six hundred feet to the summit was steep and difficult. I was slipping and it felt like I was almost rock climbing in snow, needless to say it wasn't very fun. I thought about quitting numerous times but I told myself that I wasn't going to do another fifteen mile hike up here again. That excuse kept me going. I didn't get back to the car until 6:30 and I started at 7:15 in the morning. It was a very, very long, tiring day both mentally and physically. Ellingwood is rated a Class 2 hike but not today. I haven't had a lot of experience in rating harder hikes but this one was harder than Crestone Peak and the Needle both of which are Class 3 hikes. All I have left in this area is Little Bear and I won't be doing this for another couple of years. Hopefully by then I will have a truck and would be able to knock about four miles out of the day. | ||

Staerkel Planetarium wants your vote on discovery
Most fascinating space discovery over last 25 years? Go online to vote!
Wednesday, November 07, 2012
What is the most fascinating astronomical discovery of the last quarter-century? The William M. Staerkel Planetarium asks YOU to decide!
In honor of its 25th anniversary, the planetarium is asking patrons to go online
and cast a vote for what they think is the greatest scientific discovery in astronomy from the last 25 years. Votes from the survey will be tabulated on March 1, and a scientist will present on the winning topic for the planetarium's April 5 "World of Science" talk.
The annual "World of Science" lecture series features local scientists who present a public talk on their expertise. Held on the first Friday of the months that Parkland classes are in session, the talks cover a wide range of the sciences.
"After we got the idea to feature an astronomical discovery during the time the planetarium has been open, the list of possible topics got to be long!" said David Leake, planetarium director. "We decided to get the public involved to help us decide."
Leake asked several astronomers from the University of Illinois to help with the list, narrowing it to a "top ten" that includes (in no order):
Dark energy and the accelerating universe
: In 1998, observations of a certain type of exploding star showed that not only is the universe expanding, it is accelerating!
Extrasolar planets orbiting other stars
: In the fall of 1995 the first confirmed planet orbiting another star (51 Pegasi) was announced. As our instruments improved, today we suspect over 800 extra-solar planets.
First views from the surface of Saturn's Moon, Titan
, and its lakes: In early 2005, the Cassini spacecraft unleashed the Huygens probe towards Saturn's largest moon, Titan. Huygens survived the trip and revealed the first images from an surface of another moon. During the decent, we also saw lakes of methane and evidence of rain.
Confirmation of the Kuiper Belt
in the outer solar system: Gerard Kuiper first hypothesized about a belt of comets past the orbit of Neptune back in 1951, but the first to discovered was in 1992. Today, over 1000 Kuiper Belt objects have been found. Study of this area of the solar system led to the demise of Pluto as a planet.
Evidence of water on Mars
: Going back to science fiction stories back to the late 1800s spoke of water (and life) on Mars, but it wasn't until the Mariner 9 mission that we saw evidence of ancient running water. The Mars Odyssey (2001), Recon Orbiter (2006) provided more evidence. Then the Phoenix lander photographed ice on the surface in 2008.
Hubble Deep Field image
: Of the countless breathtaking images provided to us by the Hubble Space Telescope, one that stands out is the Hubble Deep Field, taken in 1995. What was an empty area near the Big Dipper turned out to harbor over 3000 never-before-seen galaxies.
Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashing into Jupiter
: We all watched in 1994 as fragments of this comet clobbered the southern hemisphere of the planet Jupiter thus illustrating how collisions have shape the solar system.
Geysers on Neptune's Moon, Triton and Saturn's moon, Enceledas
: The farther out in the solar system you go, the colder it gets, so few expected activity during our excursions to the other planets. But Voyager 2 saw liquid nitrogen geysers on Neptune's moon, Triton, in 1989 and, more recently, water geysers on Saturn's moon Enceledas.
Sun/Earth relationships and the effects of coronal mass ejections
: Though the northern lights have been observed since humans first gazed skyward, we started to get a sense of just how much the Sun affects our planet after the launch of the SOHO satellite in late 1995. Monitoring the Sun 24/7 has resulted in a new field of research called "space weather."
View of stars orbiting the black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Wa
y: The radio signature of what appears to be the center of our galaxy was discovered in 1974 but there was speculation as to what was there. In 2002, the first star orbiting the center was seen. Since then, further studies of the galactic center have revealed a four billion solar mass black hole.
"It was a different time in 1987. Voyager 2 was about to pass by Neptune for the first time and Pluto was still a planet! And it would be a little less than three years before the Hubble Space Telescope would be launched into orbit," explained Leake.
