Incremental reading subdivides a load of material into articles and its extracts. All articles and extracts are processed according to the rules of spaced repetition. This means that all processed pieces of information are presented at increasing intervals. Individual articles are read in portions proportional to the attention span, which depends on the user, his mood, the article, etc.
The name "incremental" comes from "reading in portions". Without the use of spaced repetition, the reader would quickly get lost in the glut of information when studying dozens of subjects at the same time. However, spaced repetition makes it possible to retain traces of the processed material in memory. Incremental reading makes it possible to read hundreds of articles at the same time with a substantial gain to attention.
For incremental reading to leave a permanent mark in long-term memory, the processed material must be gradually converted into material based on active recall. This means that extracts such as "George Washington was the first U.S. President" must be changed to questions such as "Who was the first U.S. President?", "Who was George Washington?", etc.
SuperMemo was previously (February 2007) the only known software implementation of incremental reading method. Today there is an add-on to Anki called Incremental Reading which has the advantage of being free to use.

Bayer CropScience and MS Technologies LLC have achieved a milestone on their path to delivering new solutions for soybean farmers. The dual herbicide tolerance trait Balance GT (Event FG72) has received cultivation approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This step follows approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and approvals already received for cultivation, food and feed uses in Canada, and import in Australia/New Zealand.
This technology confers tolerance to both isoxaflutole (an HPPD inhibitor) and glyphosate herbicides and is intended to be an important tool for weed control and resistance management. The first launch is planned for the US in mid-decade, pending regulatory approvals. Balance GT is owned by MS Technologies and will be commercialized by them.
"The well-known herbicide Balance has been used in corn production successfully for several years. The new Balance GT Soybean Performance System is intended to address the weed management challenges faced by soybean farmers," said Frank Terhorst, head of the Seeds business unit of Bayer CropScience. "Farmers will benefit from effective cross-spectrum weed control and an excellent weed resistance management tool. We are pleased with the progress we are making on the regulatory front for Balance GT."
"Resistance to herbicides is a global challenge demanding new solutions. The dual modes of action in Balance GT soybeans are intended to help soybean farmers improve their efficiency and flexibility in weed management," said Joseph Merschman, president of MS Technologies. "We are well on track to deliver this technology in high-yielding, best-in-class soybean varieties developed by MS Technologies."
Bayer and MS Technologies have been collaborating since 2007 with new herbicide tolerance technologies for soybeans.
Currently, more than 90 percent of soybeans grown in the US are genetically modified and tolerant to either glyphosate or glufosinate (Liberty) herbicides. Balance GT is expected to be one of the first dual-herbicide tolerant products for soybeans on the market in the U.S. and an important alternative to current solutions.

Changes made after child leaves school
Phil Banker, email@example.com
Palmer ISD Superintendent Kevin Noack said new protocols are in place after a Palmer Elementary student left school grounds during recess and went missing for almost an hour.
Noack said the school went into lockdown as authorities from the Palmer and Garrett police departments, the Ellis County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Highway Patrol and Garrett and Bristol Fire departments searched for the child.
"He decided that he wanted to leave campus, so he sneaked off campus, left recess, crawled over a fence, crossed the street and hid under a blanket on a porch."
Noack said the child was found safely by the owner of the home.

Episcopal High School
March 7, 2012 by staff
Episcopal High School, New information is coming out about a man police said shot and killed Episcopal High School's Head of School Dale Regan Tuesday afternoon before turning the gun on himself.
According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, officers identified the shooter as former Episcopal Spanish teacher Shane Schumerth, 28.
After lunch, Schumerth, who had been fired earlier in the day, returned to Episcopal's campus, according to JSO Undersheriff Dwain Senterfitt.
"He went to the headmaster Dale Regan, basically had an assault rifle in a guitar case. He (Schumerth) shot and killed Miss Regan and then he killed himself," said Senterfitt.
"We thought he was a very intelligent, very perceptive, very talented young man," said John Winkler.
Winkler is the President of Concerned Taxpayers of Duval County. He described Shane Schumerth, the man police said shot and killed Episcopal Head of School Dale Regan.
"There was absolutely nothing that any of us ever saw that would indicate he was either capable, even capable of contemplating the kind of action he took today," Winkler said.

The army and firefighters from across south-west London have been drafted in to help prevent flooding at a water treatment plant in Kenley.
A further 60 people were evacuated from their homes this morning as the operation to pump water away from homes in Dale Road and Godstone Road.
The London Fire Brigade said crew members are working around the clock to prevent the stricken water treatment works at Kenley, near Purley, from flooding.
The site provides water to 47,000 properties in the area and, to ensure that supply is maintained, crews are pumping 24,000 litres of water a minute away from the affected plant.
As well as helping to evacuate homes on Dale Road and Godstone Road, crews have been sand-bagging properties and about 80 soldiers have helped lay sand bags around the water treatment works.
Firefighters have been at the Kenley site since 9.30pm on Thursday, February 6.
The leader of Croydon Council, Councillor Mike Fisher, said: "We welcome the help of the military in assisting with the emergency response to the flooding in Kenley and Purley.
"Their role is to prepare and distribute sandbags as an extra measure to protect people's homes from the flooding, and support what has been a fantastic collective response from teams across the council, emergency services and local water companies."
Fifteen fire engines and about 100 firefighters remain at the scene, along with three high volume pumps and two fire rescue units.
It comes after a week of heavy rainfall across south-west London and Surrey, accompanied by gale force winds last night of up to 70mph.

No, you shouldn't give up on your aunt; God loves her in spite of her rebellion -- and so should you. After all, you don't know what's really going on in her heart; your mother's death may be causing her to think about her own life, and that she isn't ready to die.
Even if your aunt doesn't want to have any contact with you, you can still pray for her and ask God to break through her pride and convict her of her need to turn to Him. Remember: God is able to do what we can't do, and He can work in hidden ways to bring even the most rebellious person to Himself. It doesn't always happen, of course, but that shouldn't keep you from praying for your mother's sister. The Bible says, "The prayer of a righteous man (or woman) is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).
I suggest you also ask God to show you if you can do anything to reach out to your aunt. For example, you might consider writing her a brief note, perhaps enclosing the program from your mother's funeral service and expressing regret that you weren't able to see her there. This might open the door for further contact. Remember the Bible's admonition: "A gentle answer turns away wrath" (Proverbs 15:1).
No matter what happens with your aunt, take time to thank God for your mother and her faith in Christ. And may her example challenge you to live for Him every day.

I am now in Davos and preparing to play my part in "shaping the post-crisis world", which is the official title of this year's forum. I must say this strikes me as over-optimistic. The words "shaping" and "post-crisis" seem misplaced. (I will grudgingly accept "world".)
But what would be a better title for this year's Davos? "Sinking in quicksand" is closer to the spirit of the times; "Buried under an avalanche of debt" acknowledges our Alpine surroundings; "Up shit creek without a paddle" has an appealing directness and shares the same length and meter as "Shaping the post-crisis world" – so that is my favourite for the moment. But I am open to suggestions.
I wonder whether Davos itself might not become the next victim of the globalisation crisis. The streets are still full of important-looking people, falling over in the snow. But two rather crucial groups are notable by their absence: bankers and official Americans.
The original programme advertised an impressive array of top Obama-appointees: Larry Summers, Tim Geithner, Jim Jones – the new head of the NSC and General David Petraeus (who was meant to be in the session I'm moderating on Nato.) But none of them have showed up. Fair enough, perhaps – it's a busy time in Washington. But it does detract from the event. In my pre-Davos preview in the paper, I wrote that the American delegation would be the most closely watched at the forum. But, actually, there is not much to watch.
The absence of bankers is also predictable. John Thain of Merrill Lynch was originally going to be a big draw, but he has been thrown into the parchment waste-paper basket of history. Lehmans are no more. Goldman Sachs have cancelled their party. Boo hoo.
Disappearing bankers pose a problem for Davos in a couple of respects. First – as the people who funnel money around the world – they were part of the draw for the various potentates who turn up here. Second, the banks are important funders for Davos itself. They all paid their subscriptions for this year, long ago. But will the various shrunken and nationalised institutions cough up their dues next year?
Like all good party-organisers, the people who run Davos depend on "buzz". People come because other people are coming. But without bankers and important Americans, the cast-list looks less impressive: a mix of journalists, academics and dictators. Mind you, they are still doing well on the latter front. Later today, I am going to events with Wen Jiabao, the Chinese prime minister, and Vladimir Putin, the Russian PM. So I better go and shave.

(CBS) Congresswoman Gifford's husband tells doctors he's seen her smile a few times since the breathing tube has been removed.
Dr. Randall Friese says he hasn't seen the smiles himself and notes that sometimes people see things that they want to see, but he says if Mark Kelly says he saw his wife smiling, "I buy it."
Doctors were asked for their reaction to the reports that the Congresswoman had even given her husband a back rub. It implies a higher level of functioning according to Dr. Michael Lemole, Chief of Neurosurgery for University Medical Center who said these encounters suggest that "she's recognizing him and interacting, perhaps in an old familiar way with him."
Her physicians say that despite the removal of the breathing tube from her mouth, Giffords has not made any attempts to speak. There is still no clear sense of what, if any impact the shooting had on her speaking capabilities.
The Congresswoman's condition was upgraded from critical to serious over the weekend after doctors say she tolerated three procedures without any complications. On Saturday, doctors were able to remove bone fragments from Gifford's eye socket, a surgery they'd been waiting on, allowing for her condition to improve. They did the eye socket procedure at the same time they were moving her breathing and feeding tubes. Doctors say both those moves will decrease the chances of infection.
The next major milestone doctors are looking forward to is the congresswoman's discharge from the hospital and a move to a rehabilitation facility. That move could come in a matter of days or weeks. It depends totally on the speed of progress. Giffords' family has begun exploring the options regarding rehab locations. The doctors say the family's proximity is an important consideration.

text: We were out visiting one of our ponds today and when we got there, there were 50-100 bees all over the pond. I watched several up close and it appeared that they were all getting drinks of water. They'd land on a rock and walk down to water level and stick the tip of their head in for 20-30 seconds, then fly away. They were pretty evenly spread over the whole pond, and I didn't see a nest anywhere. Is this a common phenomenon?

Many mistakes stem from the belief of people that they should be things they aren't made to be, by forcing themselves into certain routes of action to get what they believe to be "honor", "pleasure" or whatever else. Lack of personal knowledge overall.
Real honor comes from giving what you can give best, to what you think is best. For what you believe to be the most noble and the highest and most aspired thing. It's good to know what you can give best, but also, be honest as to what feels to you as the most aspired thing.
Otherwise, let a little, made up story answers some stuff for everyone...
From "Ego's" Life Diary:
"This is as obnoxious as for instance me, who can't paint for shit, to demand to become a painter and take DaVinci's position in painting or something. " I don't see how I want to become a better painter, or even learn to paint. I am naive enough to consider myself equal to DaVinci, or Michelangelo, or basically, everyone that paints better than me. So I keep producing (horrible) art.
In my journey in art (started 3 years ago), I had the Devil attack me many times. WAS DEVIL A NAZI? JESUS SAID WE WERE ALL EQUALS...
I would go to bed at night have some strange thoughts like...
"So let's say in a parellel universe, I become DaVinci and find myself in his place, without his talent. I will just fail everyone of what is required of me."
"Then, even if I do and my stupidity succeeds, I will produce horrible art, be useless, and destroy art all together."
The Devil kept attacking me: "In big situations, I will just bring art back in the prelithic ages, because I have nothing to offer to it, since I suck into it. All efforts and advances would be therefore, lost. Why? Because I felt like it and mommy told me we are all equals. And I was naive enough to believe it."
I started reading my bible and telling myself like a mantra what mommy told me.
Mommy and daddy and Social Marxism (hail marx the jew like jesus!) said to me, oh "you can be anything you want in this life". I grew up like a brat and never had to work hard for anything, you know, Western style. So well, I believed them, and I got aweakened by the brute stikes of reality...Kind of. People said I sucked. I denied it over and over again.
Because what do ALL these retards know? I mean mommy used to say I am the best, same as my chinese girlfriend that said she has 51 orgasms in the first time we had sex. I mean, I was the best, I knew it must have been true.
But I am a firm believer of the social marxist doctrine, so I kept going down the same route. "I will keep painting lines and feces on a canvas", I said to myself in my dark nights, after the devil got inside my head and told me I was to do something else. "One day, my abrupt lines will become the art of the world!", said the spirit of the jewish jesus in me. It made me comfortable and I liked it.
"I will also not let someone like DaVinci take the wheel, of course." "What does he know?" "Nobody does lines more stupidly and eloquently than me.", said the voice of jewsus within me. I really love jesus. He always sais these good things that make me feel good.
While, the Devil still intruded my thoughts. "It would be better that I would learn how to paint on the side of DaVinci", part of me says, damn the Devil, and he continued: ..."and then my chances of becoming better at painting would really multiply, become a student and a listener, if I so badly wanted to become a painter, in the end..."
I decide to take the other route,the route of GOOD. I always wanted to feel GOOD. Momma said, you gotta feel GOOD son. So Fuck DaVinci.
I don't like him. He made me feel BAD. His existence puts me down... FUCK HIM NOW AND IN ALL ETERNITY!!!!
Nobody understands the eloquence of my fine lines, with the smelly canvas with brown shit...............You are all terminally blind!
"Then maybe I would finally succeed in the end by learning from DaVinci, part of me says, if I were to rather listen and watch, and just get up on my turn.". The guilt kept hitting my mind. Why Devil, why do you presecute me? Probably the Devil is just too afraid of my talents. Part of me accepts he has some valid points though...
But again, FUCK DAVINCI! I know better. Its just that I had an issue in my past life and now I can't paint. Being a king in a big castle, a knight with my queen, I slipped on a banana peel and broke my pinky finger. Therefore I developed a fear of painting, riches, prominence and everything and now I am in my mother's basement drinking cool aid. This is what a jewish friend said when he saw my past life. I believe him. Like Marx, Jewsus, Lenin and Stalin, he wants the good of me. He wants to make me feel good, because feeling good is the nice thing to do. I though disagree the fact that I was a king, sometimes. Probably, I was someone like Botticelli, but had a bad experience and now I can't paint.
Though I am the Botticelli of Feces on a Canvas. That is for sure. WHO IS LIKE ME? NOBODY! SUCK IT IDIOTS! HA!!!!!!!
Well, I was doing a meditation the other time, I tried convincing myself I was Botticelli,...Bring my other part of the old Soul back that is and guess what. I still painted lines in the same way. My mind didn't seem to take it.
But I kept imagining...What if...What if I actually become Botticelli, or did overthrow DaVinci. I would have so much fun indeed! I would prove the Superiority I know exists within me!
Well sometimes I have bouts of "Devil" though. As much as I wanted to believe that we are all equal, it didn't seem to work. I still getting nightmares. I kept affirming to myself the words of my mom like a mantra "We are all equal. I can do whatever I want to do. Jesus has a place for me in heaven. Only god can judge me"
"If I would gratify my desire for the moment, become what I "want" to be "now", not accept my nature, or receive acclaim that I don't deserve, I would just fuck up the community of art my whole life." This is what my Devil said again... And it continued. "And crush everything, for everyone in the art world, for ever. And also, get them to become stagnant and blind because people like Da Vinci or Michelangelo, could give so much more than me, to what I supposedly want to help because I love...Infact, I would gain so much more from them as well and be happier.", continued my Devil sense, which I have shut down.
"MOMMY AND DADDY WERE CORRECT. I CAN BE BOTTICCELI AND EVERYONE I WANT. YOU ALL PEOPLE ARE RETARDS", I used to shout in class. "You Leonardo, you suck dick, you are the most worthless person around the globe and planet! I wish you die!". Really felt good to shout that way. I felt gratified. My friend tony the vegan liberal affirmed, as well, "Yes Leonardo sucks". So we took our friends from the class and minded our own trip...I mean I knew these guys for many years. They cared for me.
They used to always tell me "You will become a great painter. Don't let anyone put you down. Doesn't matter if for close to a decade you can't paint a line. One day you will paint the Magnum Opus of Humanity" Tony's jewish girlfriend continued: "Yes, don't listen to these motherfuckas. Now let's go smoke some pot to open your mind. Rumors have it Leonardo smokes pot as well".
Not that I would listen to what Leonardo does. I hate this guy. All my friends know. But what if the rumors are true and does it indeed open the mind? Maybe it will help me out. You know, get this edge. I mean, I am so close to surpassing him already. Who cares if his Mona Lisa bullshit is according to some a masterpiece. My "Shit and Lines on a Canvas" is the GREATEST thing of all times...
So times went and I started smoking pot. Getting high and everything. Then I felt, the time is now. Now I will create the work of the aeons.
I made something strikingly similiar to the other things I always did. Well. A bit better. It had a different FEEL to it. Mommy said, "if it feels right, you must do it". This is what she said when I got my chinese girlfriend. My mom was from Africa and she was married to an Eskimo, but thing is, there is another mantra of my mom "Love Conquers all my boy, never forget it".
Well my painting still seemed whack.
I started becoming disappointed.
So one day I was in the street and I saw something strange. Some people were making a parade, and they all had like an armband with a symbol known as Swastika. Ew, what an Anti Semitic, Bigot symbol. To my amazement, these people were like all in line, smiling and such. Duh. Can't these idiots see that they put the tall guys in the frontline and the short ones on the back?
"THIS IS RACIST and DISCRIMINATIVE", I kept shouting. Well the guy in the last row held a sandwich and a Hitler Icecream, and the BIGOT threw these onto my face. I was like "IDIOT, you are being duped! They put you on the last line! DONT YOU WANNA BE ON THE FIRST!". It seemed he lacked my understanding of it. He also smiled and laughed at me with his friends and they kept going. I felt devasted. EVERYONE IN THIS WORLD MUST BE STUPID, THE DEVIL AND HIS NAZIS TOO. Baffled I was so I kept going.
A bit of Hitler Icecream made it into my mouth and I have to admit it tasted good. But it's the Ice Cream of Hitler. Though anyway I just got some and ate it on secret, from my friends. Then something strange happened...
I entered into a deep trance. I fell into the floor. I started seeing light...There was this man, Adolf Hitler on it. I saw parades, I saw people happy. etc. It lasted quite lot than my recent MaryJane trip. Strange. I came out happy as well. WTF? Is my brain wrong? Why I felt so happy?
I mean I Fucking KNOW what I am doing with my life. Nobody is going to tell me what to do. So I kept walking...
Then I found a pamphlet. It wrote on it "Social Marxism Sucks, join National Socialism mindset and understand the REAL order of the Cosmos, so you can be happy!"
I was baffled. I kept reading the phampflet and the points inside it. Then eventually my common sense started returning and I was like, fuck. The Devil Overtakes me. Oh, it seems my daddy and mommy and my conceptions were wrong! I can finally be free by knowing what I am to do and be, and become better. I can be as amazing as these people in the parade earlier! Finally!"
Then I turned into a National Socialist. I went to DaVinci and I was like, man, you were right. I better stay on this bench and help you out a bit, learn how to paint and such. I sucked as a painter. Then I am going to become a space scientist because apparently this was what I should be all along. But I still love paintng.
Leonardo was eating Hitler Ice Cream and smiling. He said this was the drug of success...
"If my love for art is honest, and if I have sufficient self-knowledge, it can be easily answered by my route of action.". The thoughts of the Devil and Mine have became one!
"Will I try to attack DaVinci, or will I just sit on his side and watch, have fun, and learn? Or will I turn into a mere fan of his amazing artwork? If I take the good routes, chances are, everything will be better. I feel so happy!"
"If I take the hostile routes, I will just cause dismay and run the danger of having all the art lovers reacting against my horrible art of lines, and feces on a canvas." The Devil Continued. I came to really like the Devil.
"The answer of if I will be able to follow this route, is answered by this: How much Social Marxism still remains inside me, and how much National Socialism? How much force of decay and death, and how much force of real upbringing?"
Hmmm.. The Devil has some points I said to myself. Leonardo was high on Icecream at the same time. Woah.
A real lover of art, would take the another route, I understood. A real hater of art, would just try to impose himself in the art world.
A real lover of art, who I surely am, I would never get down to try to paint, out of respect for the fact I can't draw a straight line. How can I know? Self consciousness obviously. I just had a National Socialism aweakening of Self Consciousness.
So eventually I learned painting and then became a scientist. Rumors say I made a good scientific breakthrough, not compared to Leonardo. I was happy about it. Leonardo was just happy about ... Hitler Icecream. He mysteriously just survived on Cookies and Ice Cream. He wasn't an imbecile in the end. Just someone addicted to what I understood only earlier...By my enlightenment.
Then I went back home and burned my smoking pot, "Das Kapital" and Bible and all the related books. And I bought Mein Kampf, Joy of Satan printed book etc. Useful stuff.
Then. I pissed on the toilet in the shape of a 6 pointed star.
"Fuck you bitches. My mother was wrong. You made her wrong. I am off to do RTR's, Scum!", I shouted at rage to the enemy jew...
Since I have been a real bigot... At least I am no longer a Social Marxist Retard.

Joseph OLeary explores masculinity through portraits of bearded men
Ariana Babcock
Times Intern
Most photographers enjoy capturing beautiful scenery, unique objects and foreign places, but when Joseph D.R. OLeary picks up a camera, he looks for bearded men.
The 44-year-old has photographed 135 men with beards and mustaches to create a coffee-table book. He hopes to show that masculinity is a personal style choice and a granted freedom.
The Columbus man grew up in Green Bay, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis in 1989. He earned a degree in graphic design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in 1992.
After graduation he opened his own graphic design studio, Veto Design, and created artist catalogs and books. In 2005, he turned a hobby farm in Columbus into a studio, where, in addition to graphic design, he explores art and self-portrait photography.
OLeary launched the book project in February 2012, inspired for portraiture by a realization of the prominence of beards on significant historical figures. OLeary points out Abraham Lincoln, Socrates and Jesus, to name a few.
"Today, the perception is that beards are relegated to men who are on the fringes … artists, musicians, men who want to rebel against the norm," he said. "In a way, I want to dispel the perception that beards are for the fringes of society and really (show they) are just another way to express yourself."
OLeary fell in love with art around the age of 5, when his mother took classes. When he was 11, he got his first camera and began to explore photography by making elaborate Christmas cards in a dark room he and his father built in their basement.
When OLeary steered from his day-to-day work and started the "Of Beards and Men" project, he wasn't sure what direction to take it or even what types of photographs he wanted. However, the original 45-minute portrait sittings soon turned into sessions that lasted four to six hours as he became interested in telling each man's story.
"The work got better and my conversations got longer with the people I was photographing," OLeary said. "I really wanted to get to know them; I didn't want to just snap a couple pictures and send them on their way. I realized all of these people have something to say."
With the project's focus locked in, OLeary used Kickstarter, an online company that helps entrepreneurs fund creative projects, to market the book. A 30-day campaign, which ends Aug. 15, has surpassed his goal of raising $27,000. All of the money will go toward printing the book.
"Kickstarter is great because it gets the word out that you're doing this and people can preorder the product," he said.
By November, 1,000 copies will be printed of the 168-page book containing 135 portraits, three essays, an artist's statement and a short biography for each model. Every image will be spot varnished and printed on matte paper. Each backer who pledges $65 or more receives the book, a postcard and an acknowledgement in the book.
OLeary was taking a risk when he nervously hit the launch button on Kickstarter, realizing his work would be for naught if his project did not reach the funding goal.
"Kickstarter is all or nothing … you have a date and a dollar goal and you have to meet the dollar goal on that date or nothing happens," OLeary said.
On display
Another obstacle was finding models. OLeary did so by placing postcards in gyms, stores, restaurants and coffee shops throughout the Twin Cities metro area. The cards posed an interesting question: "Is your beard ready for its close-up?"
OLeary's free portrait sittings were first-come, first-served. Interested participants simply took a snapshot of their facial hair and contacted OLeary.
"It really was about keeping the whole process organic," OLeary said. "I didn't want to hand-select, but rather I wanted to keep it totally random and see who would come to me, hear their story and let them step up to the plate."
The portraits are lightly enhanced to showcase certain details of each model. Participants brought props and outfits to portray their unique characteristics.
"There's a story to them and I want the photographs to tell that story," OLeary said.
Models came from as far as Dallas and Washington, D.C., Some of the men had worked as nude art models while others have never set foot in front of a camera for a professional portrait.
OLeary at first took close-ups, but as the project progressed he realized full-body shots better showcased the men's personalities.
"It started off as a way for men to give their beard the spotlight, but what really took place is the man behind the beard took center stage," OLeary said.
Andrew Joyer, a 2011 Forest Lake High School graduate, became involved in October. He heard about the project through the Minneapolis Beard and Mustache Club online and then ran into OLeary at a club function in Minneapolis.
"I realized that this was for real and could be a lot of fun," Joyer said. "I told him that my mustache wasn't ready but when it was I would let him know."
As his mustache grew, Joyer became excited and eventually jumped at the chance for a sitting.
"If I had any idea of how great a photographer Joseph OLeary was, I would not have hesitated for as long as I did," Joyer said. "After my session, I wanted everyone I knew with a beard to get the chance."
Joyer talked all four of his brothers – Matthew, Douglas, Joseph and Brian – into modeling for the project, as well as several close friends.
"How often do we look at portraits of our ancestors and wonder about them, who they were, what they thought?" Joyer said. "Someday people will have the opportunity to wonder those same things while paging through this book."
Taking off
Vicki Goldberg, New York Times photography writer, was also impressed with OLeary's project and selected him to be featured with three other artists at an exhibition at the Kiernan Art Gallery in Lexington, Va., in July. OLeary is also on exhibit at the Drift Contemporary Art Gallery in Portsmouth, N.H., through Aug. 18. In addition, one of his portraits will be in the Minnesota State Fair fine art exhibit.
OLeary's project has caught the attention of many publications, including The Huffington Post, The Daily Telegraph, Daily Mail and Peta Pixel. The publicity has helped his project gain popularity, and pledges, from all over the world.
OLeary has completed the photography for the book and is weighing printing options. He continues to take portraits for the project's online gallery and is hoping to make a second book, also focusing on bearded men.
"I want to keep it all going," he said. "I want to continue doing design, I want to continue doing photography, and I want to continue photographing bearded men."
Within the next couple of months, the project will be featured in an Israeli photography magazine and a Spanish architecture and design magazine.
"I never dreamt of it turning into something like this," he said. "It's pretty incredible."
Besides the creative challenge of the photo sessions, OLeary has appreciated the relationships and connections he has made with each man that comes to his studio.
"I'm really enjoying meeting all these people," he said. "There's such camaraderie with men that have been part of this project."
OLeary is marketing the book primarily through the project's website and hopes to possibly sell it at independent shops as well.
While facial hair links the men involved, the project evolved into something deeper, OLeary said. He hopes his book acts as a visual record of masculinity for future generations to enjoy; a type of time capsule, circa 2013.
"The beard is really so secondary and it's really about these men, who they are, how they define themselves, and how they define masculinity for themselves," OLeary said. "It's up to everybody to define it themselves."
Those interested in being featured in Joseph D.R. OLeary's second book or on his website should send their picture and phone number to him at [email protected]

Glue for Self-Defense?
What if you had an attacker and they were coming after you but all you had was some way of spraying them with with a thick coat of superglue (mixed with green dye/pepper spray/etc) ?
Then use any method of forcing them to stick to themselves before they get to you ;)
It would take a lot and the fumes would likely be lethal.
I often use that in my webshooters.
God these old threads are a hoot.
"The Germans have invented a LaPage Glue Gun, it will glue a whole formation of planes together in mid-air." Name where that quote came from for a kiss from the member of your choice. (except me)

A brilliant half-century from recalled all-rounder Andrew Symonds has edged Australia home past South Africa in the fourth one-day international in Durban.
Australia reached its winning target of 247-9 with five balls to spare.
The nail-biting one-wicket victory squares the five-match series with the decider to be played on Sunday in Johannesburg.
Symonds' exhilarating knock of 76 off 71 balls - his best one-day score against South Africa - helped rescue the Australians after the top-order had failed to capitalise on a solid start from openers Adam Gilchrist and Simon Katich.
The tide turned when Symonds and Mike Hussey took 19 runs off Graeme Smith's second over to reduce the required run rate to less than six an over.
And despite the Queenslander losing his wicket to Roger Telemachus (bowled) in the 43rd over - with Brett Lee succumbing to Makhaya Ntini the next delivery - the Australian tail squeezed past the 247-run target thanks largely to a rearguard offensive from paceman Stuart Clark.
Clark finished on 16 not out from 18 deliveries and Telemachus finished with figures of 3-34.
Earlier, a superb cameo from Shaun Pollock had guided South Africa to a respectable total from its 50 overs.
Pollock joined opener Boeta Dippenaar - who batted from the first over to the last to anchor the Proteas innings and record his first-ever one-day century against Australia - at 173-6 with the pair putting on 72 in 55 balls for the seventh wicket.
Dippenaar's resilient 101 from 145 balls held together the South African total and in partnership with master-blaster Pollock - who cracked 53 from just 33 balls including 17 off Brett Lee's ninth over - set the Aussies a competitive target.
Nathan Bracken (2-36) and Mick Lewis (2 -38) were Australia's best performers with the ball.
Chasing victory to stay in the series, the tourists slumped to 101-4 after Gilchrist and Katich had put on 87 for the opening stand.
Gilchrist found the boundary at frequent intervals in a characteristic knock of 45 from just 44 deliveries before falling to Jacques Kallis' first ball after a five-week layoff with elbow trouble.
His first-wicket partnership with Katich - which included 54 runs from boundaries - had ended the first over immediately after the drinks break when Katich (46 off 68 balls) mistimed a pull into the hands of Kallis in the deep.
With both openers having departed, Damien Martyn (one) and Ricky Ponting (seven) followed within three balls of Telemachus' third over.
And like Katich, Michael Clarke (seven runs from 23 balls) had a rush of blood straight after the drinks interval as the pressure started to tell.
But after Symonds and Hussey had steaded the ship, it was left to Clark to hit the winning runs

text: Culture 6 October 2011 What is Madness? Sign up for our weekly email * What Is Madness? Darian LeaderHamish Hamilton, 368pp, £20 As a student, his head full of theories, Darian Leader worked in a therapeutic community. He was interested in psychosis, but none of the wild behaviour, hallucinations and delusions he expected of the "mad" was on display. Instead, patients worn down by medication quietly attended to their private routines. A lone man wanted to talk, and he did so with such lucid intelligence that Leader wondered why he was an inmate. Only months later did the reason become clear: the man informed him that they were living not in England, but in Zamara, a land of strange gods, with its own intricate history and laws. In this fascinating book, Leader forces us to rethink our assumptions about that illusory gift called "mental health". He does so with a formidable grasp of psychiatric history and a storyteller's flair for detail. Leader shows that altogether ordinary people can have long-lived forms of quiet madness - delusional beliefs or symptoms that cause no conflict in their lives, and thus call no attention to themselves. Underlying psychotic structures can coexist more or less happily with daily life. Being mad is not the same as going mad. Before he tipped into flamboyant madness, Sigmund Freud's case study Daniel Paul Schreber was for many years a high-ranking judge, his powers of logical deduction more acute than most. And no one - not his wife, not his colleagues, not even his patients - could fault Harold Shipman's doctorly "normality", until it was discovered that he was a mass murderer. In 1913, Ernst Wagner, a respected German schoolteacher living in the suburbs of Stuttgart, murdered his entire family; he then travelled on to the next small town and killed or wounded anyone within shooting range. His diaries showed that, over the preceeding 20 years, he had harboured paranoid delusions about all and sundry, whom he suspected of knowing his big secret: in 1901, he had had sex with an animal. Yet, for all this time, Wagner had led an ordinary life, and might have continued to do so, had something not made him crack. Such cases don't prompt Leader to champion early preventive diagnosis of potentially "dangerous" psychotics, who could well include leading scientists or politicians. Rather, it is the measuring of human worth in terms of normative social utility that he considers dangerous.Leader is sceptical of the medical classifications codified in the bible of the psychiatric professions, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, which is so preoccupied with visible behaviour that it forgets that human beings have inner lives. Using it, doctors can too often diagnose problems by the drugs that seem to work on them. In the process, they lose sight of how the "mad", like the "sane", attribute meaning not only to their experiences, but also to the drugs and treatments that psychiatrists give them. The violence of electroconvulsive therapy can work very well with a patient who somehow feels she needs punishment for her acts. It may have a completely destructive effect on another who does not. In drawing attention to the prevalence of "ordinary psychosis", Leader is going back to an older tradition in psychiatry, one sidelined from the 1950s onwards by a tendency to diagnose an amorphous "schizophrenia" and to define ills by visible symptoms and brain chemistry only. This development went hand in hand with the introduction of drugs that mask symptoms and sedate feelings, and which confine rather than cure. The individual is lost in the process. But what Leader does so effectively is to give us a sense of what it might be like to live inside the mind of a psychotic. The absolute certainty of the psychotic is what distinguishes him from the neurotic, who is full of inner doubt. Where the neurotic, as Freud showed, represses incompatible ideas and their accompanying emotions, the psychotic rejects them as unthinkable. He cannot integrate them, and so projects them outwards. Paranoid delusions are the result. Yet these also provide the psychotic with an account of the world and what is wrong with it. Leader teases out ways for the analyst to stay attentive to this inner world and to stabilise it. Reminiscent of R D Laing in its passion, What Is Madness? is a humane and timely book.

Used 2010 Mitsubishi Values
For 2010, the Lancer compact nameplate gains increased credibility in practicality as well as in performance. Along with a revised appearance, the 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer is now offered as a hatchback called a Sportback as a companion to the compact sedan. The high-performance sport compact Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution gains improved suspension and steering as well as wider track for 2010 allowing the greater handling responsiveness. The ever-important crossover vehicle market for 2010 is now served as an all-new Outlander. Receiving the jet fighter grille similar to the one adorning the Lancer, the redesigned 2010 Mitsubishi Outlander family utility is bolstered by 2.4-liter four-cylinder or an improved 230-horsepower 3.0-liter MIVEC V-6 engine. A more modest restyling of the grille and tailgate was performed to the Mitsubishi Endeavor that now offers Bluetooth connectivity on all trim levels. A SE model is added to the 2010 Galant sedan lineup while the four-cylinder MIVEC engine was also retuned for enhanced fuel economy. Active Stability Control comes standard on the 2010 Mitsubishi Eclipse coupe and Spyder convertible.

Global Views Forged Pearl Cocktail Table
$ 1,248.00
Forged pearl cocktail table. Who would imagine that a treillage gazebo's door surround--found on a book of 17th-century garden designs in colonial Williamsburg's rare book library would translate so handsomely to the forged pearl collection of tables? That's the distinctive "trend meets tradition" wook of the Williamsburg and collaboration. The nickel plated steel ball bearing "pearls" that frame these pieces lend luster to any interior—classic to contemporary.

Currency Substitution and the Demand for Money in Five European Union Countries
The high degree of economic integration has led to an increased degree of currency substitution in the EU countries, which could bring instability in national money demand functions while an EU-wide money demand function could be more stable. Currency substitution usually takes the form of cross border deposits (CBD), which are not included in the traditional monetary aggregates. Thus, extended monetary aggregates that include the relevant CBDs are defined in this study. In order to investigate the implications of currency substitution for the stability of the demand functions, the traditional and extended monetary aggregates for five EU countries are defined in addition to EU-wide monetary aggregates. The estimated EU-wide demand for extended money appears to be stable suggesting that there is scope for monetary policy at the European level. However, the stability of the area-wide aggregate has been impaired when the relevant CBDs are not included.

Friday, May 3, 2013 7 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Location: Keith Anderson Community Center, 19 Bennoch Rd, Orono, ME
For more information: Stan Keach; 207-397-2241
On Friday, May 3, the Keith Anderson Community Center on Bennoch Rd in Orono will ring out with the youthful, bluegrass sound of the Maranacook String Band. The MSB is a band of mostly teenagers, but, as Skye Theatre/New England Celtic Arts Director Phil McIntyre says, "Their soaring harmonies belie their youth!"
The MSB started out in the halls of Maranacook Community High School in Readfield, when Stan Keach (then a teacher of Gifted/Talented) invited talented, student vocalists Julie Churchill and Lee Stetson to join him after school to sing some three-part harmony. Three years later, the MSB is a band of seasoned (though young) professionals, who play a very busy schedule. Most of the band live in the Augusta/Waterville area, but Julie Churchill and Megan Dood, the band's Banjo player, are both sophomores at UMO, who drive home on weekends for gigs. Not counting a couple of campus appearances, this will be the band's first Orono gig.
"I hope some UMO students and faculty will come out to see this show," says band director Stan Keach, "I don't think many campus people realize what a treasure they have in Julie. To my mind, she's one of the best 2 or 3 female vocalists in Maine."
The MSB also includes guitarist and impressive lead singer Lee Stetson, 17 ; bassist Zach Greenham, 18; Fiddlin' Jay Smith ("the best bluegrass fiddler in Maine," according to Keach); and super mandolinist Dan Simons.
Simons and Keach, who have a duet act called Stan & Dan, have recently become notorious for their YouTube video, "What the North Pond Hermit Knows," a song that Keach wrote as soon as the North Pond Hermit story broke. Keach, a nationally-known bluegrass songwriter, recently released a CD, Cry of the Loon and Other Original Songs About Maine, featuring all the Maranacook String Band, as well as members of the Sandy River Ramblers. That CD, as well as the Maranacook String Band's debut CD, Bear in the Barn, will be available for sale at the concert.
Opening for the MSB will be Freshly Cut Grass, a prominent, local bluegrass band that features Laurie LaViolette, Warren Kelly, Angie Glidden, Theresa Pottle, and Jim Leighton. Eric Collins (UMO class of 2012), will also sing a couple of songs.
The concert will start at 7:00 PM. Admission at-the-door is Adults $10; Seniors $8; Students & Military $5; Children 10-and-under FREE. There will be a 50/50 raffle, with partial proceeds benefiting the Keith Anderson Community Center. Delicious refreshments will be sold. For more info call Stan 207-397-2241 or Jim 207-944-3128, or email email@example.com.

Finally a true cajun/creole ettoufee. Being from South Louisiana (where La truly gets its cooking bravado from) this is the true ettoufee. No tomato, no mixed seasinngs, no cornstarch.

HOUSTON - Houston Mayor Annise Parker is weighing in on the Duck Dynasty controversy.
On Saturday the mayor sent out a tweet, clearing up the statements she made during an interview with Lone Star Q, a LGBT news source.
"When I called Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty "a redneck wingnut whose views are completely irrelevant" I was serious. Who cares? -A" Parker tweeted Saturday.
Robertson was suspended from the A&E Network, after an interview with G.Q. Magazine in which he voiced his opinion on homosexuality.
Parker's comment has sparked quite a response, including a call for an apology from Republican Texas Agriculture Commission Candidate Sid Miller.

Baked Shrimp in Foil
READY IN: 50mins
Recipe by Tammy Scott Saunde
A simple and delicious way to cook shrimp.
Top Review by stonecoldcrazy
This was great. I threw some asparagus in the foil packet too. The butter sauce is just amazing, I kept looking for things to dip in it after I ate all the shrimp.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs large shrimp
- 1⁄2 cup salted butter
- 1 bunch about 2 cups chopped flat leaf parsley
- 2 -3 tablespoons dried or minced onions
- 4 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 lemons
- 4 tablespoons of your favorite hot sauce
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
- red pepper flakes, (ground red pepper will work too)
- 1 large aluminum foil, bag (used for grilling, if not, use regular foil)
Directions See How It's Made
- 1. Let the stick of butter soften in a bowl until it is VERY soft.
- 2. Coarsely chop the parsley and cut into the soft butter.
- 3. Add garlic, onion, hot sauce, pepper, salt and blend until the parsley seems well incorporated.
- 4. Juice ONE lemon and cut the other two into slices. Add lemon juice to the mixture and blend.
- 5. Add red pepper flakes to your taste.
- 6. Rinse shrimp thoroughly and leave the shells ON. Add them to the bowl and mix them in until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
- 7. Put shrimp mix into the oven bag along with the lemon slices.
- 8. If making a foil packet from sheet foil, be sure to make the foil a double layer. Seal packet of foil bag TIGHTLY and place in the refrigerator a few hours until you are ready to bake. If you are making your own packet, make it large enough to keep the shrimp in no more than two layers inside the packet.
- 9. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place foil bag into a cookie sheet with edges to catch any leaks.
- 10. Bake for 15 minutes, remove from oven, give the foil bag a shake to redistribute the shrimp, flip over and return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
- 11. After this 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil bag and give it a look. The shrimp should be nice and pink. If not, bake another 10 minutes and check again.
- 12. Cut open the bag with a knife and dump into a bowl to serve.
- 13. Add a nice salad and enjoy!
- 14. We make two pounds to have some leftover shrimp to make into our Low-Carb Aioli Shrimp Salad the next day!

Editor's note: The following information was provided by Dairyland Laboratories in Arcadia, Wis.
Whether the expression "into the ether" refers to vanishing into outer space or the mysterious area just beyond the computer screen, it's an ambiguous phrase that leaves many people confused as to just what the heck the "ether" really is. In dairy nutrition, we have a similarly ambiguous analysis called Ether Extract (EE) which has been used to approximate the fat content of feedstuffs since about 1860.
The problem with EE is that it contains not only fatty acids, but other ether soluble components like glycerol, urea, water, chlorophyll, fat soluble vitamins and pigments. In fact, it's been shown that up to 50 percent of forage and 20 percent of grain EE may be non-fatty acid in nature (Palmquist, 1980).
While this analysis has provided us with an inexpensive estimation of fat content for many years, the nutritional requirements of high producing cows call for more precise feed formulations than EE can provide.
A more direct approach for measuring the fat content of feeds is to measure the total fatty acids by gas chromatography (GC). This wet chemistry technique allows nutritionists to obtain both the quantity (total fatty acids) and quality (fatty acid profile) of a feedstuff in one analysis. In addition, NIR calibrations based on this technique have about 40 percent less error than calibrations for Ether Extract fat.
Currently, NIR calibrations are only available for the "total fatty acids," but a complete profile by gas chromatography is available for around $35. This includes the total, as well as the proportions of 24 individual fatty acids, and a breakdown of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated and rumen unsaturated fatty acids: www.dairylandlabs.com.
The ability to test any type of feedstuff by GC means that this is also a great way to troubleshoot milkfat depression by testing the complete TMR.
In his 2001 article in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, E.W. Hammond stated that "the invention of gas chromatography is probably the single most important event of 20th century analytical science." With increased use of this technology the dairy industry will be able to take advantage of 150 years of analytical advancement and gain some insight into the effects of fatty acids in dairy rations.

The Accent packs more interior room into its stubby 159.3-inch overall length than some larger models, like the Ford Focus Coupe, and there's actually enough legroom and headroom for the typical adult male in the backseat of the sedan, and getting in and out of the hatch's backseat is a little easier than in other two-doors. Front seats are a little skimpy, though, with short cushions and limited support.
However, those with body types a bit outside the norm should be aware that the steering wheel doesn't adjust for tilt in base Accent GL models and it doesn't telescope in any of the trims.
The Hyundai Accent's interior looks good and feels durable, especially from the driver's seat, though there's evidence of cost-cutting with respect to cubbies, trim, and the cargo area. Trim fit and attention to detail aren't up to the standards of Hyundai's latest industry-leading designs either, but the controls and displays are simple and straightforward.
Ride quality and interior noise are relatively good with a light load, but editors have noted that the Accent's ride becomes noticeably louder and pitchier with several adults on board, while engine noise amplifies at higher speeds.

The second Test of three begins in Cape Town on April 27.
