On NPR: Master narrator George Guidall
The Art Of Storytelling Alive And Well In Audio Books by Lynn Neary features beloved audiobook icon George Guidall reflecting on the power of the spoken word, in both print and as an extended podcast on the NPR website. Guidall is one of the audiobook world's most prolific voices, with over 900 titles to his name along with numerous honors and awards. From picture book read-alongs to providing the signature voice of best-selling series by blockbuster authors such as Tony Hillerman, Guidall has remained a constant standard of excellence for over twenty years. Visit Guidall's website for a list of his favorite recordings, audio interview, and more. I'm always pleased to learn about audiobooks featured in the media (thanks, Bina!), but I am often bamboozelled by the name variations of the media format. In searching the NPR site, it looks like the NPR style book mandates "audio book" as two words. The Audio Publishers Association ("the voice of the audiobook industry") holds for the single word "audiobook." Those that started listening to Guidall when he was just a young whippersnapper might still call their downloaded digital recordings "books on tape." In the fast-changing world of all things prefaced with the letter "i" or "e," it time for another name change to keep up with the new media Joneses? Perhaps we should shift to "aBook" for audiobooks! On second thought, this seems a bit like trying too hard. But it would make for a great alternate version of Lane Smith's It's a Book" 🙂

Archbishop kyr kyr Jovan (John) VI is released from prison
Skopje, March 3rd, 2006
After having spent 220 days in the central Macedonian prison at Idrizovo, his Beatitude Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje kyr kyr Jovan (John) VI by decision of the Supreme Court of R. Macedonia is hereby released today.
Drawing from the age-long Orthodox Tradition which teaches us to pray "for all those who love us and for all who hate us", we use this occasion to express our gratitude to all of the Heads of the local Orthodox Churches, to the Bishops and the faithful Christian people for their fervent prayers to God, as well as to the persons who through their institutional engagement for respect of the elementary human rights and religious freedoms, contributed to the release of his Beatitude Archbishop of Ohrid and Metropolitan of Skopje kyr kyr Jovan (John) VI. It is also timely and it definitely makes sense because of the joy of today's release to thank those who work against Archbishop kyr kyr John and the Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric.
We express hope that the release of Archbishop kyr kyr John is occasion for joy of all the citizens of the R. Macedonia regardless of their religious and ethnic allegiances, since his release is only a step forward towards the reaffirming of the image of our country before the international community in the aspect of respect for the basic religious freedoms.
From: The Information Service of The Orthodox Ohrid Archbishopric

EL SEGUNDO – Steve Blake will miss a minimum of six weeks after being diagnosed with an elbow injury, leaving the Lakers with no healthy point guards and few options.
Blake had an MRI on Thursday, which showed a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow. He incurred the injury in the second half of the Lakers' loss to Washington on Nov. 26 when got his arm trapped by John Wall's body and pulled it free.
"Crazy things happen, and you've just got to try to stay positive. I'm still a little bit in shock right now that I'm having another injury and have to sit out,' Blake said. "I was really enjoying the way things were going. It is tough."
Blake played six games with the injury, and it affected his shooting. He had made just 11 of 37 3-pointers since the Washington game.
"He played about four, five games with a torn ligament in his elbow," Coach Mike D'Antoni said. "He practiced left handed, and then, he would play right-handed."
The veteran will receive a platelet-rich plasma injection in the tear and not accompany the team on its four-game trip that begins in Oklahoma City on Friday.
"I'm just really heartbroken for him," Kobe Bryant said. "He's put in a lot of work. He's having a phenomenal year, so (I) feel really, really bad for him."
Blake joins fellow point guards Steve Nash (root nerve irritation) and Jordan Farmar (hamstring) on the bench. General Manager Mitch Kupchak said he doesn't have any immediate plans to sign another point guard.
"We'll continue to look but to find a player who doesn't belong to somebody right now, that can come in and play in front of Kobe, in front of Xavier (Henry), in front of Jodie (Meeks), its unlikely," Kupchak said.
"Maybe there's a player out there that we can take a look at, bring him in. It's a good time of year, 10-day contracts don't start until mid-January, so it's a good time to perhaps look at a player, but I don't think there's somebody we could bring in and start and who is going to play big minutes."
Leandro Barbosa, Darrius Morris and Chris Duhon are among those on Kupchak's radar.
In the meantime, D'Antoni said the team will "go bigger" and start Bryant at point guard with Henry and Meeks also seeing playing time at the spot.
"We won't go as fast," D'Antoni said. "We'll just try to pound it in and try to play a different way."
Bryant, who has played two games since being out for eight months because of a torn Achilles' tendon, will be matched up against Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook in his first task as point guard. Westbrook is averaging 21.2 points and 6.4 assists a game.
"I don't really have a choice right now," Bryant said. "I got to get out there and do a lot more than expected in terms of handling the ball and doing significantly more running."
Byrant doesn't know NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown. He has never met the former Cleveland running back and certainly hasn't talked to him.
So Bryant said he was caught off-guard by Brown's recent comments he made while appearing on the Arsenio Hall Show when he said the Lakers star didn't understand African-American history because he grew up in Italy.
"He is somewhat confused about culture because he was brought up in another country so it doesn't quite fit (with) what's happening in America," Brown said.
Brown added that if he were to again hold the black athlete summit that was held in the early '70s regarding Muhammad Ali's refusal to fight in the Vietnam War, "there'd be some athletes I wouldn't call. He'd be one of them."
Bryant said that although Brown's comments "came out of left field" he welcomed the discussion.
"No matter where you come from, if you come from Italy or Inglewood or if you come from London, it doesn't matter," Bryant said. "Ultimately, it doesn't matter what skin color you have … but I think it's a good place to start the education with one another and try to improve as a society."
Bryant said he would not reach out to Brown, adding, "The thing I try to do is to educate our youth going forward, no matter what color skin you are — African-American, white, whatever the case might be — and try to talk about having a bright future and how to help the kids going forward and progress as a society as a whole."

Ian just told Frank that the "powers that be" don't want him to use the veto to take Dan or Danielle down from noms, so
Frank should keep that in mind. Fish.
I am officially (almost0 over Ian now. Speaking of power, I couldn't believe the way he was pointing at Frank to say I want
you in this game, at least for a while. He seems to be picking up Frank's attitude.

Ronan Keating: It's weird living on my own without Yvonne
Ronan Keating admits he finds life as a singleton strange after his split from wife Yvonne in April.
He said he had found it hard to adjust after splitting from her over his alleged affair with a tour dancer Francine Cornell, which emerged in the summer of 2010.
'It's really weird. Because it's brand new for me. We had 14 years together. I was very young when we started together. We had this life together. It's not like "that's done and here I do something else",' he told the Irish Independent.
The Boyzone singer also admitted telling the couple's three kids, Jack, 13, Marie, 11, and six-year-old Ali, about the split was difficult.
'It was hard but we tried to deal with it with their best interests at heart. Whether we like it or not, this has happened. This is the change and this is what we have to do. ' the 35-year-old said.
'They are our priority so it's all about making sure they don't get affected too much. Yvonne and myself are very conscious of that. We are doing the best we can do right now.'
Ronan recently moved out of his family home into a bachelor pad at Malahide Marina, which is a few hundred yards from where his children live with Yvonne in Abington, Malahide, Co Dublin.
'I'm only 200 or 300 yards down the street from the old house, so the kids are around all the time,' he continued. 'I am there 100pc for them every day. I do the school run in the morning, I am there when they finish school, I am there all evening.'

Chronoweaver's Coil
Current version 1.0: Adds one ring that can manipulate time!
There are a few slow time rings up here but this is one I have been using and made myself for some time now. This one ring has several different time settings you can choose and has no blinding screen effects, so you can enjoy the view or continue filming something in slow-mo.
This Mod adds a ring into the game that allows the wearer to slow and speed up time at will! You can launch an arrow, and run right by it as it flys through space. Or you can speed up time and enjoy the world as everyone breezes by you. It is a great tool for videos and such. It is also fantastic for faffing about and watching arrows fly about at 1/100 the time scale. It is just a fun overall toy to play with.
To obtain the ring, head to Riverwood and meet a strange Orc outside the Inn.
To stop the time effects, unequip the ring or set time scale to default (you will still be slowed however, so you probably should still unequip ;) )
What it does specifically:
alters the Global Time Multiplier, slowing or speeding it at will. Can be great for videos or for screwing around.
****# Future Improvements? #*****
The menu shows up twice on the first equip. Annoying, but not problematic.
1. Download
2. Extract to Data folder
3. Check mod in launcher
4. Go to Riverwood.
5. Find orc.
****# Known Issues #*****
The menu as mentioned earlier.
On ranged kill cams your player speeds up 1000x afterwards. Just unequip ring.
****# Some examples of what is possible #*****

online dating
A few years after my ex-wife left me, I decided it was maybe time to get out and find a companion for friendship and maybe a little on the side. Being out of the dating scene for 28 years I thought will maybe I can just put my profile on one of them on line dating services.
So I looked and found Match.com it seemed OK and them being a supposed Christian dating service I figured I would find someone that was normal, and not a pervert or strange.
I put on my profile,
I was male looking for a female
Between 30-50
Looking for friendship with a possibility of marriage later
I was a Catholic
Who liked guns and shooting.
I told them my age and income status and posted the same picture that is in my avatar.
I got back 8 replies with in 24 hours. 7 gay men and one bull dyke, this is no lie either. I wrote back to the gay men and thanked them for their reply but I had to decline their offers because my butt was a one-way street that was out going and not incoming. One wrote back saying I should try it and that I just might like it. I wrote him back and said not my cup of tea but thanks anyway.
Then I wrote the dyke and told her that she must of got me mixed up with someone else, and I told her that I was a male looking for a like minded female. Well she actually wrote me back and said that after she got through with me I would be a female. Thus ending my attempts at on line dating.
More to follow on this
ROFL!! You must have messed something up brother! I don't believe match.com is a christian dating service either, but christiansingles.com and several others are and they make it pretty clear. People can always say one thing and be another however.
I like online dating because you can see and get to know someone without going through all the hassle of actually going out only to find an anti, atheist, or something of that nature. Plus you don't have to weed through a bunch of barflies to find someone genuine.
I met my fiance'(hate that word) online about 8 months after my divorce and we've been together ever since. I did meet several nutjobs and psychos on there as well. Beware of white liars, they grow bigger over time. Make sure to find someone completely honest and upfront with all their ducks in a row. Good luck and try not to date any women who exclusively wear plaid. :D

Yesterday I receive an email from a female who says she is a member of the guild I am a member of in the game of World of Warcraft. She says she was looking over my profile in the board that we have. The name of the guld is or was The Raging Horde on, and if you know anything about the game of WoW then you know that there are 2 main factions the Horde and Alliance.
Mostly we are always at war with each other, and sense some of my long time friends started this guild they wanted me to join when they found out I played WoW also.
This is what she looks like and what she said in the email I got today from her.
My Dear,
I am more than happy in your urgent reply to my mail.
How was your day?
mine was cool over here in Dakar Senegal.
My name is Becca Diane am 23 years old from ivory coast in west Africa and presently iam residing in the refugee camp here in dakar Senegal as a result of the civil war going on in my country.
My late father Dr Banabas Diane was a prominent successful buisness man and a politician under the govement of Late Gen.Robert Gue the former head of state before the rebels attacked my house one early morning killing my mother and my father.It was only me that is alive now and i managed to make my way to near by country Senegal where i am leaving now.
I would like to know more about you. Your likes and dislikes,your hobbies and what you are doing presently.
I will tell more about myself in my next mail.
Attached here is my picture,
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
Thanks Becca,
This reminds me of them scam letters I get from some foreign country asking me to help recover their money and I will receive several millions if I do.
Looking at her photos The first things that come to mind is,
I cannot afford this
At my age this is worst then eating 20 pounds of saturated fat at one time.
I just may die happy
Why would a 23 year old be interested in a broken down old man in his middle 50s?
FRAUD.......trust me on this. That's some guys trying to run a scam from a foreign country. They will email you a sad story and want you to send money after building a repore'.
Get a hot blonde haired blue-eyed Russian girl. They're all dying to come to America but need a sponsor...and they're all dying to find a man that doesn't drink vodka 24/7.
Yeah, that's the other thing they're dying for....a free ride..but you could always get "snipped" and don't tell her....just tell her your count is a little low at the moment and you need to keep trying..several times a day.

Cadorath Group and Meridian Aviation Consulting have joined forces to establish Meridian Helicopters. The company will focus on providing reworked parts distribution support as well as consulting, brokering and technical support for the global Bell Helicopter network.
"This strategic venture will build the supply of reworked parts, provide support and generate new business opportunities for the broader Bell Helicopter service community," said Gerry Cadorath, president of the Cadorath Group. Meridian purchased five Bell L3s. Two of them will be rebuilt and sold to Cadorath's lease fleet; the other three will be broken down into parts and components to be reworked, overhauled and distributed by Cadorath and its Bell network partners. Meridian will continue to source and provide component parts for Cadorath Aerospace and the growing demands of the Bell Helicopter network.
"In addition to the acquisition of parts for our customer network, we will continue much of the work Meridian Aviation did by offering brokerage, consulting and technical services to the aviation industry," said Michael Bashlor, founder and president of Meridian Aviation Consulting and managing partner of the new venture.

Other Conferences
Alongside our Round Table partner organisations plus OCIMF, INTERCARGO participates in the Annual Tripartite meeting.
Tripartite refers to a meeting of the three group: Owners, Classification Societies/IACS, and the Shipbuilders Associations of, predominantly, China, Japan and Korea. The purpose of the meeting is to engage in dialogue on issues influencing future regulation and design.
Given our strong stance on safety, Intercargo presented on two aspects at this event:
i) Regulatory impact on safe design – avoiding unintended consequences (of, for example, environmental legislation impacting on safety) and
ii) Bulk Carrier Operations and Ship Design
The most recent Annual Tripartite meeting between shipowners, shipbuilders and classification societies was held in Seoul, Republic of Korea on 16 and 17 October 2015.
The meeting was attended by 100 high level representatives of the industry, including chairmen and executives of the Round Table Associations (BIMCO, ICS, Intercargo and INTERTANKO) and OCIMF, IACS with its Class Society Members and CESS with the Shipbuilder Associations.
The meeting was organised this year by INTERTANKO with support from Korean Register, Korea Offshore and Shipbuilders Association (KOSHIPA) and Korean Shipowners Association.
The meeting agreed that, with ongoing difficult market conditions, focus had to be on value creation (quality rather than quantity) and the continuous enhancement of shipbuilding and classification survey standards as well as ship operating procedures.
For information please see press release.
Please note that although appreciative of the opportunity to speak at the seemingly increasing number of conferences, INTERCARGO regrets that due to time constraints and the priority for organising its own Lunchtime Briefings, it can only occasionally participate in third-party, paid Conferences.
If resources permit, presentations can be given on any matter pertaining to the INTERCARGO Work Programme, where these have a particular connection to the dry bulk sector. Presentations relating to market conditions or projections should ordinarily be referred to a reputable broker, as these organisations are able to give a better perspective on commercial matters.
Similarly, we are seldom able to endorse or advertise such events, but a selection of conferences with a particular focus on Dry Bulk issues is as follows :-
Tradewinds Charterers Forum Dry Bulk 2014, 14 November, Hotel President Wilson, Geneva*
* INTERCARGO is a supporting organisation.

The san diego studies
feature documentary
72 minute documentary
Bush League is a character driven ethnographic survey of a tiny village in Northern Malawi. Intimate dramas unfold in the lives of four villagers who are all members of the local soccer team. Chatwa, the team captain, is an ambitious farmer who's in deep with the local bank but torrential rains are destroying his crops. Jake, an American Peace Corps volunteer who sponsors the team, is pushed to his limits when the politics of the game affect his school construction project. Jacqueline, the head cheerleader, suspects her husband is cheating on her and is concerned he'll give her HIV.

October 31, 2012: Maruti Suzuki India is set to set a second milestone delivering 111 of its recently launched Alto 800 cars to customers on November 1 in Kerala. The delivery will be by dealer KVR in Kasargod. This follows the delivery of 200 Altos on a single day (October 19) at a single outlet by a single dealer to multiple customers -- AM Motors at Kottakkunnu in Mallapuram district near Calicut in Kerala. Maruti claims this was the first time in India when so many cars were delivered to 200 customers at the same time.
The new Alto 800 has already notched bookings of 31,000 units of which about 13,000 units are expected to have been retailed by now, as per industry estimates.
The Alto has received bookings across India but some of the key cities where it has been most popular are Kerala, Guwahati and Punjab. It is believed that entry level buyers are in larger numbers in these regions compared to cosmopolitan cities and metros like Delhi where the Alto would be a second buy.
Meanwhile, Maruti which revealed the financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2012, has had a tough half-year in 2012-13. The results are clearly indicative of the challenges faced by the company: the month-long Manesar plant lockout due to labour trouble, the subsequent slow ramp-up to normalcy and lower production of diesel-engined vehicles like the Swift hatchback and Dzire saloon, despite the huge pent-up consumer demand for them. In fact, Maruti says it has a waiting list of nearly 125,000 for its diesel vehicles. Of these, around 90,000 units are for the popular Swift hatchback and Dzire saloon, with the Ertiga accounting for the rest.
Further, the sharply dwindling demand for petrol vehicles has hit Maruti hard. In a bid to push petrol vehicle sales, it offered customers bigger discounts than before, which has impacted profitability. As against an average discount of Rs 11,650 in Q1 (April-June 2012), discounts rose to an average of Rs 14,150 per vehicle in Q2 (July-September 2012).
Overall, net profit for Q2 2012-13 fell by 5.41 percent to Rs 227.45 crore, compared to Rs 240 crore in Q2 2011-12 (July-September 2011). Worryingly for the company, Q2's net profit is nearly half of Q1's Rs 423.77 crore. Maruti says the bottomline has also been impacted by lower non-operating income during the quarter.

Let me tell ya all little something about how I develop recipes.
I am not going to lie, sometimes I can stare blankly at my computer screen for hours, even the entire day and not come up with anything good enough to share with you guys. But then, sometimes out of nowhere, I will get an idea. Then I will build on that idea.
And that's great and all, BUT my favorite is when I get the full name of the recipe to somehow come to me. That's when it gets good.
I know it is kind of odd, but sometimes I get titles of recipes to form in my head and then I build the recipe from there. That is what happened here with this salad. I was thinking about how I had yet to make a Po Boy sandwich and I was like "Oh what about a Cajun Shrimp 'n' Chips Po Boy Salad with Avocado Tartar Sauce". Really, those where my thoughts, and I kind of loved the way the name sounded, so I went with it.
No over thinking, researching or playing the back and fourth game in my head. I just made it because it sounded gooood.
And that's the little story of how this recipe was born.
Now, let me just let out my anger for a super quick second about the snow around here. The snow and the FREEZING temps. It's white, not springy in anyway and I really just want the sun. Colorado got punched with a snow storm today and I am dreaming of my Florida vacation and wishing I could extend it to be a whole three months. Starting now.
And now I am done. Complaining over.
It is funny though, you would think with this horrible weather I would be craving warm comfort food, but really all I can think about is summer food, tropical coconut and ice cream. Totally weird. Ah huh.
But hey, would you guys mind if I started throwing out all the summer recipe soon?? It's really all I can think about and oh my gosh, Memorial Day is two weeks from today. Like not today and not next Monday, but the next Monday! Yay ya!!
Plus, we all know that Memorial Day is the unofficial start to summer!
Anyway, back to today and this salad. It's a good mix of spring and summer and it's also just plain good. Heavy on the southern flavors with a big ol' cajun kick. And the chips? Well, I actually think they're British, but I think they may do them in the south too? Not sure, but I do I love a big ol' salad.
And you gotta love the cajun kick.
Cajun Shrimp 'n' Chips Po Boy Salad with Avocado Tarter Sauce.
- 8 cups of butter lettuce chopped
- 1 cup purple cabbage sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 2 cups ears [grilled corn | https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/exactly-how-i-grill-my-corn-chipotle-lime-and-cotija-cheese-butter/] kernels removed or 1-2 frozen, defrosted corn
- 4 green onions sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1 pound uncooked shrimp peeled + deveined
- 1 tablespoon creole seasoning
- 2 tablespoons cajun seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs use gluten free if needed
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- canola oil for frying
Avocado Tarter Sauce
- 1 whole avocado
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons horseradish or more or less to your taste
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- pinch of salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Place cut potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle with oil, cajun seasoning, creole seasoning and pepper. Gently toss with your hands or two spatulas to evenly coat. Spread on a baking sheet in one layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, then flip and roast for 25-30 minutes more. This may take longer depending on how thick you cut your potatoes. You want the potatoes to be deeply golden and crispy on the outside!
Meanwhile add the lettuce, cabbage, bell peppers, tomatoes, corn, green onions and parsley to a large salad bowl and toss well. Place in the fridge, covered until ready to serve.
To make the shrimp, add the shrimp to a bowl and toss with the creole seasoning, cajun seasoning, smoked paprika and cayenne. Set aside
In a small bowl whisk the milk and egg together. In another medium bowl combine the Panko bread crumbs with the cornmeal.
Take the shrimp and dip it in the milk/egg mixture and then dredge the shrimp through the Panko mixture and place on a plate. Repeat until all the shrimp have been breaded.
Heat a skillet with about an 1/2 inch of oil over medium heat. Once hot fry the shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side or until lightly golden and crisp. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
To assemble the salads divide the greens among plates or bowls, top with chips and crispy shrimp. Serve with fresh lemon wedges and the avocado tarter sauce (below).
Avocado Tarter Sauce
Add the avocado, greek yogurt, horseradish, lemon juice, honey and a pinch of salt + pepper to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Serve along side the salad. Store in the fridge.
Because it totally kicks Monday where Monday needs to be kicked – out the door.

Once in a great while, a sequel comes out that is so outstanding, it not only blows the original out of the water, it stands on its own as a paragon of excellence. Cases in point: The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan.
Canon 5D Mark II
Kick-ass 21 megapixel, full-frame sensor. Full HD 1080p video. Weather-resistant enclosure. VGA resolution LCD display. Sexy parkerized finish.
Good luck getting one if you didn't pre-order. Annoying black spots with certain settings. Noisy at super-high ISO range. 4GB movie size limit.
How We Rate
- 1/10A complete failure in every way
- 2/10Sad, really
- 3/10Serious flaws; proceed with caution
- 4/10Downsides outweigh upsides
- 5/10Recommended with reservations
- 6/10Solid with some issues
- 7/10Very good, but not quite great
- 8/10Excellent, with room to kvetch
- 9/10Nearly flawless
- 10/10Metaphysical perfection
Add the Canon 5D Mark II to that list. For the better part of a year, rumors abounded about an upgrade for Canon's full-frame prosumer camera, the 5D, but nobody expected the awesome bomb that the Canon eventually dropped on us. No mere upgrade, the Canon 5D Mark II is a milestone in many ways, and it's one of the best cameras we've tested yet. It features a massive 21 megapixel sensor, full high-definition video, a giant display and much more, setting a new high-water mark for digital single-lens reflex cameras.
For starters, Canon nearly doubled the resolution of the 12 megapixel 5D. Like its predecessor, the full-frame sensor in the 5D Mark II is equal in size to a 35 mm film negative, making it much larger than the sensors used in most consumer and prosumer cameras. The size confers two advantages: It gives the camera terrific low-light sensitivity, because the sensors for each pixel are larger, enabling them to collect more photons. And it allows you to use all the lenses in Canon's EF line to their full potential , without any magnification — an advantage especially useful for wide-angle shots. By contrast, smaller sensors effectively multiply the focal length of standard lenses, for instance converting a 28mm lens into the equivalent of a 56mm lens.
Canon also stuffed full-HD video recording into the 5D2, making it only the second SLR to record in HD (after Nikon's impressive D90) and the only one to record in full 1080p glory. You can tell Canon didn't think this feature would get much play by how deeply they buried it in the menu system. Fortunately the 5D2 also features a dedicated live-view button which pre-arms the camera for movie recording.
Photographers and indie filmmakers have been drooling over the 5D2's video quality ever since Vincent Laforet's demo movie hit the net in September. Most video cameras give a distinctly non-film look due to the poor depth of field produced by their small sensors and fixed lenses. Thanks to the full-frame sensor and Canon's high-quality lenses, the video from the 5D2 looks a lot more like movies shot on film.
The 5D2 is only slightly larger than the 5D and keeps roughly the same lines and look of its predecessor. Notable construction changes include weather-resistance and a tough-looking "parkerized" finish normally found on military firearms. The new 3-inch, 640×480-pixel display looks great even in bright light and is perfect for zooming in close to check out your shots.
The picture quality is terrific, even at ISO 1600 and 3200, but at 6400, 12800 and 25600 the resulting images are quite noisy. At ISO 100 the full-resolution shots are simply stunning.
There are a few problems with the 5D2, notably the mysterious appearance of black dots which appear when noise-reduction, light-optimizer and highlight-tone priority are all switched on. Switching these settings off fixes the problem. Since all of these features can be recreated later during processing on your computer, that's not a great loss.
The video mode is limited to 4GB per shot, which equates to 20-30 minutes of recording time. And unless you're planning on making a silent movie, plan on investing in some external microphones: the built in microphone is low-quality and monophonic, and it can pick up your lenses' autofocus noise, messing up the audio track. Thankfully the 5D2 has a stereo mic input for high-quality audio recording.
The 5D Mark II is a game-changing 21 megapixel 1080p photographer's dream. Its few flaws are greatly outweighed by amazing new features and huge sensor size.
But good luck getting one. Prompted in part by early teasers showing the stunning quality of video that the 5D Mark II is capable of producing, shutterbugs and pro photographers alike snapped up the camera as soon as it became available in early December. Unless you pre-ordered one a long time ago, you're out of luck until later in 2009.

I just wanted to let people out there know about my experience (so far) about cruising gluten-free and lactose-free.
We are cruising on the Ruby Princess over Christmas, and according to the cruise personalizer on Princess' website, I needed to fax a letter to their corporate people about lactose and gluten requirements. I did that a couple of weeks ago and got a response today. They could not be more helpful. They are bringing on board for him breads, cookies, crackers, cereal, and pasta that are gluten free for him. He is to meet with the maitre de hotel every day to plan his meals for the next day. They will even make special food for him if he plans to attend any eat-in parties in the kid rooms.
Because of his very unusual diet restrictions, we are bringing some food with us, but they have already approved everything to be brought on board (customs issue).
I will let you know how it went when we get back, but we are so excited to be able to travel with his restrictions!
That is very nice to hear. It has been my observation over the years that Princess does everything in its power to accomodate people with special needs. I was thrilled on a recent 14 day cruise on Golden Princess to see a blind couple, each with their own service dog, negotiating their way all around the ship.
Most cruise lines will do the same.
You MUST tell them well in advance about the special needs and not wait until you board the ship.
They will make sure they have enough gluten free lactose free foods or whatever the food allergy is for the passenger
I am having a different experience with Princess over my son's allergy (Milk). When I booked the cruise they sound much like you explain however when I sent my fax in I got a letter back with a different story. Basically there is a good chance my son will have nothing to eat while on the cruise and other then bring in rice milk they do not sound willing to do anything else. I am interest to hear how your cruise went as right now I am very worried about what he is going to eat in a month from now.
Also how did you get them to approve food this was not an option they gave us.
What does he eat at home?
When you board ask to talk with the chef
Tons of stuff and i am sure if nothing else he will be eating burgers or steak all week we will work something out it. Also we eat out at resurants all the time and always have something to eat. My point was i did not get the good response from head office the other poster got. In the letter i got stuff like
"It will be at his discretion to order meals allowable, however, the Maitre d' Hotel will be happy to assist him with making selections from the standard menu that would be suitable."
rather then something like "if there is nothing on the standard menu he can eat we will work something out" that i guess i was hoping for that we have gotten elsewhere like disney.
In any case as soon as i get onboard i will talk to the Maitre d' Hotel and work out a plan for the week.
Just a quick followup as i am now back from the trip and while on board they were great the head waitress (Oana) looked after us and i think he eat better then the rest of us.
Just want to add to this post to say while on board food was not a problem and they took care of us very well.
I'm glad to hear they were able to accommodate the special diet. I hope you enjoyed the whole cruise.
My family was on Liberty of the Seas (RCI) last June. The wait and kitchen staff went way out of their way to help my mother with her gluten-free diet. She was very happy with the variety provided and the taste of the food.
Cudos to RCI!

Florence Dore
Nashville native Florence Dore played with various punk, rock and country bands for 15 years before cutting her first LP Perfect City. An academic by day, Dore pursued her music career while earning a doctoral degree in American literature. Her dissertation was on modernism in the American novel and emphasized the work of William Faulkner, whom she's been known to reference in her literary, emotionally articulate songwriting. At the time of the release of Perfect City, Dore was working on a tenure track at Kent State, while holding residence in New York City due to a post doctoral fellowship at N.Y.U. Before that, she absorbed the musical climates of Boston, where she taught eighth grade while moonlighting with the Myrtles; Berkeley, where she played with San Francisco band the Mudsills; and Wesleyan College in Connecticut, where she performed alongside Matt Ashare in renowned punk band Puse Escalator. Onstage, Dore's academia goes out the window, and she can rock with the best of them. The band, which consists of Chris Erikson (lead guitar), who's been playing with Dore for over a decade; Scott Yoder (Mojo Dixon) on bass; and Dennis Diken (the Smithereens) on drums, holds its own on Dore's brand of poetically economical, Lucinda Williams-inspired country-rock. ~ Travis Drageset

Continued talk of accelerated plantings is depressing corn futures. The corn market is very likely benefitting from strength spilling over from the soy and wheat complexes, especially with underlying demand for the yellow grain seeming quite robust as well. However, forecasts for persistent short-term dryness makes traders think Midwest plantings will surge during the days ahead, thereby improving fall production prospects. May corn skidded 2.25 cents to $5.015/bushel early Wednesday morning, while December dipped 2.0 to $5.0125.
Talk of vigorous demand is boosting the soy complex. Tuesday's NOPA crush report showed strong U.S. activity last month and implied that U.S. demand for soybeans and its products remains extremely strong. That news powered prices higher yesterday and again in overnight action. May soybeans jumped 19.75 cents to $15.21/bushel Tuesday night, while May soyoil climbed 0.39 cents to 43.22 cents/pound, and May soymeal advanced $6.1 to $493.5/ton.
The wheat markets may be trading weather news once again. The Russia-Ukraine situation is probably providing persistent support for wheat prices due to the potential disruptions likely to result. But U.S. traders are also watching the weather, since current conditions aren't particularly favorable to large crops. Reports that Monday's cold didn't do a great deal of damage probably undercut prices overnight. May CBOT wheat futures stalled at $7.0175/bushel in early Wednesday action, while May KCBT wheat futures slid 3.0 cents to $7.625, and May MWE futures slipped 1.75 cent to $7.3675.
Technicians may be pressuring the cattle market. CME cattle traders are expecting a sizeable seasonal decline during the coming days and weeks, but the large discounts already built into futures may be limiting their downside potential. On the other hand, bulls recently failed to push prices above major chart resistance, which is apparently encouraging technical selling at this point. June cattle futures slumped 0.15 cents to 135.27 cents/pound just after dawn Wednesday, while December edged 0.15 lower to 139.70. Meanwhile, May feeder cattle stumbled 0.22 cents to 179.55 cents/pound, and August lost 0.27 to 182.30.
Hog futures may face fresh selling. Anticipation of seasonal strength has been supporting the hog and pork complex lately, with bulls apparently thinking prices will come back from recent losses. However, cash and wholesale prices dove Tuesday afternoon, thereby spurring fresh CME selling overnight. June hog futures fell 0.80 cents to 121.72 cents/pound in early Wednesday trading, while December dropped 0.40 to 88.30.
Forecasts for reduced Chinese plantings boosted cotton futures last night. Tuesday's cotton drop seemed to set the stage for follow-through losses, but Chinese news sparked a fresh bounce. Officials with a Chinese industry association predicted the nation's 2014 cotton plantings will fall 12% short of last year, thereby implying a commensurate cut in forthcoming production and improving prices. May cotton rallied 0.71 cents to 90.63 cents/pound soon after sunrise (EDT) Wednesday, while December cotton ran up 0.60 to 81.51.

Excellence in Academic Service
Each year, the University at Albany honors special members of its community with Excellence Awards denoting exceptional contributions to the life of the campus. Three faculty members received this tribute in 2007 for Excellence in Academic Service.
Diane Dewar, Health Policy, Management and Behavior
Diane Dewar received her Ph.D. in economics from UAlbany in 1993, and joined the School of Public Health in 1994 as an assistant professor of health policy and management. In 2002, she received continuing appointment and was promoted to associate professor. Throughout her association with Albany, Dewar has been centrally involved in governance and the broader service mission of the institution, at levels of time and commitment that are extraordinary, particularly for a relatively junior faculty member. For the University, she has served on the Council on Promotions and Continuing Appointment, on the Council on Research, and is currently serving as University Senate Chair, a role that also requires ex-officio participation on numerous ad hoc task forces and committees. For her school, she has served as chair of the school-wide council and on numerous school and departmental committees. In addition, Dewar is co-director of her department's Health Policy and Management curriculum track. It is not simply the quantity and levels of service that impressed the selection committee, but the quality of that service as documented in many testimonials from colleagues and peers who praised Dewar for her deep commitment to academic excellence, integrity, and equity. She is described, repeatedly, as one of the best citizens of our campus and of the numerous professional associations to which she has contributed.

The Mets felt the Braves' pain last night.
And they loved every minute of it.
The Mets learned yesterday there is additional inflammation in Billy Wagner's left elbow, a condition that has shut down the closer, pushing his return to somewhere between indefinite and who knows? And this comes after watching the bullpen throw batting practice too often.
PHOTO GALLERY: Mets Top Braves
But at Shea Stadium last night, it was Atlanta's relief corps that imploded. The Mets unloaded a five-run eighth inning, featuring monster two-RBI hits by Carlos Delgado and Damion Easley, in a 7-3 victory that kept the NL East lead at 1½ games.
"I could feel that," manager Jerry Manuel said about watching Atlanta bring in failed reliever after failed reliever during the five-run, four-hit, three-walk eighth. "I know how difficult that is. They're kind of dealing with the same thing we're dealing with."
The Mets' relievers threw 22/3 scoreless innings in support of Oliver Perez, who labored effectively into the seventh, getting nicked for three second-inning runs. The offense finally arose after a slumber following the first. Delgado had the key hit, slamming a Will Ohman "fastball, right down the middle" the first baseman said, off the wall in left. Ohman had relieved Jeff Bennett (2-5) with the bases full. Delgado's drive scored two for a 4-3 lead.
"Good teams win these kinds of games," said Delgado. "They find a way to battle back and win these games. You're not going to win them all, but it's nice when you do."
Especially with your closer in the infirmary and you're able to take the game out of harm's way for the ninth.
Perez left with one out and runners on the corners, but Luis Ayala, in his Mets debut, came in and retired two straight – "changed the momentum right there," Manuel said. Aaron Heilman (3-7) worked a dangerous but ultimately harmless eighth inning, giving up a hit and walking the pitcher. Scott Schoenweiss pitched the ninth.
"The guys we've got out there are very capable," said Easley who smacked a two-run single to greet Julian Tavarez, the third Braves' pitcher in the eighth, just before Ramon Castro added a tack-on RBI double. "Losing Billy hurts, no doubt, but they have great arms and we expect them to do the job and they expect to do the job."
This time all the Mets pitchers did the job. And it was needed because from the second to the eighth, the Mets managed one hit off Jo-Jo Reyes, recalled from Triple-A. A David Wright sac fly and a Fernando Tatis RBI ground-rule double staked Perez to a 2-0 lead in the first before the Braves scored three in the third to take the lead.

Id blame it on SATA if it wasnt that it 'worked before with FC2t3'. --- Fedora is confused by SATA drives. On the GRUB line (and grub.conf) you have to identify them as /dev/hda1 But in the /etc/fstab, and on mount commands as /dev/sda1...

Hey All, Just a few notes. As some have noted the Festival doesn't start getting really hopping til until around 6, I'm still going to go at 3 and maybe check out some of the Hellenic Dancers (Usually both from the Church's Youth Groups although broken up into Young Kids and Teenagers) and do the tour of the Church. The Nightlife Group is meeting there later that night and Ill be organzing that as well so I'll be there all day. For those asking about it being kid friendly, while there are a few bars set up for adult beverages it doesnt turn into a party til really late at night-so its very family orientated at the time we are meeting. Come at 3 if you'd like or join us later, its up to you. I'll be under the big tent outside at 3:00, just look for me-in the group shot (From last year's Greek Festival by the way) Im the one in the light blue shirt and my picture is right there with my RSVP. If you cant find me or wander in later just call me at[masked]-3118. With Nightlife we have 28 Yes and 35 Maybe RSVP, which means we might have 10 people and we might get 50. But regardless, it'll be fun Hey All, The Greek Festival on West 14th is one of the best, if not THEE best, Cultural festival of the year. The picture on our home page is of the festival. Is a blast and attended by just a ton of people. And it goes on all day. Til Midnight actually. I'll publish a schedule of entertainment as soon as the event lists it, but they have live music, plenty of food and drink (Anirban and I discovered our love of Metaxa there last year). You gotta try the Lamb and Pastries as well. Around 9pm there is wall to wall people at the event just having a good time. Fantastic food, great drinks, live music, dancing-one heck of a good time.
This will be my 1st time meeting all of you too! How will I know it's you?
0 · May 27, 2010
Yes, the event is at a church; so it is a family-oriented atmosphere. And the Festival goes on all weekend; 3pm is just the time when the group meets.

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has grown dramatically over the last decade. Botanical treatments originating from plants have become especially popular for treating conditions such as anxiety and depression. Evidence suggests that the botanical St. John's wort has neurochemical activity similar to that of conventional medications. However, research on the safety and effectiveness of St. John's wort is limited. This study will determine the safety and effectiveness of St. John's wort in treating GSAD, a serious condition characterized by intense fear of various social situations that may cause embarrassment.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either St. John's wort or placebo daily for 10 weeks. Self-report scales will be used to assess participants' GSAD symptoms at study entry and at study completion. Blood collection will occur at every weekly study visit to determine the levels of St. John's wort in the blood.

ST. LOUIS — Heavy storms and scorching temperatures have failed to deter rock bands from performing at an outdoor stadium in St. Louis, but a bombardment of pigeon droppings proved too much for the Kings of Leon.
The band halted the Friday night concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre after three songs when the infestation of birds in the arena's rafters dropped their onslaught of feces.
A statement from the band's management company, Vector Management, said bassist Jared Followill seemed to be a particular target of the pigeons, whose droppings were a potential health hazard.
"I'm surprised they stayed on for as many songs as they did," Andy Mendelsohn of Vector Management said in the statement. "Jared was hit several times during the first two songs. On the third song, when he was hit in the cheek and some of it landed near his mouth, they couldn't take it any longer.

As most Raider fans are quite aware, this year's wide receiver free agent class is a very strong one. There are quite a few talented players who will be available, including: Santonio Holmes, Steve Smith, James Jones, Santana Moss, Steve Breaston, Sidney Rice, Malcolm Floyd, and possibly Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, to name just a few. However, there is one wide receiver in particular who has consistently given the Raiders fits with his tough catches and clutch play at receiver. That receiver is Vincent Jackson.
Jackson has haunted the Raiders for three consecutive years. He stands 6 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 230 lbs. He has been described as "a tree" by Nnamdi Asomugha; Nnamdi says Jackson is one of the toughest he has ever faced.
In just over three seasons as a starter for the San Diego Chargers, Jackson has amassed 212 receptions, 3648 receiving yards, and 28 touchdowns, with a career average of 17.2 yards per catch. Those are very impressive numbers considering the abundance of weapons Philip Rivers has at his disposal, and how Rivers spreads the San Diego offense. If Jackson hadn't missed 12 games in 2010 due to a holdout, these numbers would be significantly higher, and quite possibly San Diego would have been the division champs ahead of Kansas City.
Selected to the Pro Bowl in 2009, and a starter for three consecutive playoff teams (2007-2009), Vincent Jackson emerged as one of the primary receiving targets for Philip Rivers. Rivers recently spoke on a local San Diego talk show, stating his concern about the re-signing of Jackson, and how Jackson is the best receiver he has ever thrown to. He went so far as to say that Jackson is the best receiver he has seen, period. Rivers also cited the loss of Jackson during this past season's campaign as a major reason the Chargers failed to make the playoffs, and that losing Jackson to free agency could be disastrous.
Jackson starred at the University of Northern Colorado, where he was an All-American and rewrote the record books for UNC. Drafted in the second round in the 2005 NFL Draft, Jackson is a terrific route runner with incredible hands, blazing speed, and is a true athletic phenom, with a penchant for making big plays.
Vincent Jackson would be an absolute perfect fit with the Raiders, and would give the added bonus of being a reliable deep threat option. He is the prototypical wide receiver that Al Davis covets and the Raiders desperately need. His size, speed, athleticism, and hands are the epitome of what Al is looking for in a receiver. Don't think for a minute that he is not on Al Davis' radar, as he is the type of receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was supposed to be, but has shown that he is not worthy of being a starting wide receiver in this league.
Signing Jackson would more than make up for the mistake of drafting DHB, and Jackson would certainly be the most productive and legitimate go-to receiver since Tim Brown.
With the contract dispute he was involved in with AJ Smith, Jackson would be hungry to prove AJ wrong, and a hungry and dedicated Vincent Jackson would be a scary weapon to have on our side. And to top it off, it would be especially nice to burn San Diego and sign their most prolific player.
Jackson, at 28, is still on the upside of his career, and with a player's coach like Hue Jackson leading the way, this would be a match made in heaven. The presence of Vincent Jackson on the Raiders would immediately elevate the Raider receiving corps into one of the finest in the league. Along with receivers Louis Murphy, Jacoby Ford, Zach Miller, and a healthy Chaz Schilens, there isn't a secondary in the league that could successfully shut down the Raider passing game.
If Vincent Jackson is available in the free agent market, and AJ Smith does not franchise tag him (and I don't think he will), Al Davis needs to pay whatever it takes to make Jackson a Raider. If it means paying him more than Nnamdi Asomugha, then so be it.
There are some very fine receivers available in the free agent market, with Vincent Jackson and Santonio Holmes being a cut above the rest. And while there is no way the Jets will let Holmes go, AJ Smith's ego will allow Jackson to see the open market. It's inevitable.
Al Davis is going to need to act quickly, as this star is going to shine brightly on the horizon, and will be visible to many teams in need of a dynamic young receiver. That star is a game changing receiver who would become an instant Raider fan favorite, and would be a key member in helping to bring the Raiders back to where they belong: the Superbowl..
This is Spartacus' first guest contribution to TFDS. Let him know your thoughts in the comment box.
