I will tell you what I like in your port and think should stay, what I hate in your port and think you should scrap, and what I think is missing. Plus I'm a fiend on tumblr and love sharing inspiration.
All you have to do is tell me the same.
And..... go!
Please note: I tend to take a while to get to everyone, but only because I really give their ports a long think and look for images just for them.

Hello, yes please...just what I need.

Mea, you are gorgeous! You have depth and variance in your looks and moods! You adapt. I like how you have 4 categories and think the images are really 1.graceful, 2.dark, 3.sexy, and 4powerful. your port is LARGE. But Is it robust?
My humble opinion is to narrow down the images to give one full page to each category. 20 images are perfect, everything can be seen at once, then further draws you in by YOUR image. I would suggest portrait style framing. We see you well in them I would keep them highest priority over the lanscape style framing. I would still keep the highest artistic or visually appealing landscape framings just lower on the page. You have a lot of artist merit and are excellent at it but it isn't in your face right away, it's not drawing in because it's much smaller format. And frankly, we wanna see you!
I tend to like the portrait framing over the landscape framing (((for llamas ports))) it fills the page and shows your beauty so much more, and all at once. It gets our attention!!!...hope that makes sense.
Ps. Composites don't add to this format either. Too small to stir interest.
Put out :

They don't do your beauty justice.
I love this and think u should keep it in there forever : http://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/17 … #/26870639 definitely !
Just clip out composites and rearrange a little. You have layers and layers, keep doing what your doing!
keep evolving,
More alt /fashion images or high fashion/beauty for that matter.
More figure art
More environmental nudes

It was hard for me to choose an image I liked because I feel like you're not lighting your shoots properly yet. I'm really struggling to see your subjects well, the shadows are obscuring their features, and the features of the clothing, and they make the girls look sick and very tired. To be honest with you, if you asked me to work with you, I would say no, because of your lighting. This shot I liked:

Thanks Mea - I do appreciate your comments and the time you take - And especially your finding the reference shots.
You are right about being too close - both physically and mentally - cramped - back against the wall!!
Also all too easy to be overly attached to the photographs that were a struggle to achieve.
It is great to have the benefit of an honest opinion and talented eye. Especially from a model's perspective.
Please come back and crit anytime

Found this behind the Polo on my husband's fragrance shelf. Wish he'd wear this instead! An understated, suave green-woody fragrance. Like a classic chypre with the florals turned down to a whisper. Too masculine to make a good unisex scent, but it would smell delightfully civilized on the right man. (I might try layering it with something floral, however.) It has what I consider the perfect amount of sillage--it has presence, but won't bowl anyone over. Lasts all day and into the next. Never a sour moment, top notes to dry-down.

Maokai Build Guide
Moekai: The Chu8 Waywritten by Ranik
Maokai Build
Table of Contents
|Update Notes
|Pros / Cons
|Summoner Abilities
|Masteries + Runes
|Skilling Order
|Beginner Chu8 Item Build
|Advanced Chu8 Maokai Item Build
|Summary + Tips
Hey everyone, first guide on here, hope it's good. First things first: all credit goes to Chu8 for this build. For those who don't know who that is, Chu8 is Chu, a rather famous and successful DotA player (played on EG), the #1 ranked HoN player (also played on EG), and quickly hit 2300+ ELO in League of Legends becoming #1 (currently hovering around top 3) in two months. Maokai is his most played champion in Ranked.
This is the build he has ran on Maokai in Ranked Play, however I have tried to adapt it and given different examples for different levels of play.
I do ask that you give this build a shot, 2300 ELO doesn't lie, and it is a pretty different way to play the character, however it does work.
This build is for people who at least know what Maokai's skills do, and just need to broaden their horizons a bit.
Finally, to get the most out of this build take a solo lane. However, I do offer suggestions if you are forced to dual lane.
Update Notes
v1.4 (August 27th)
-Fixed some typos.
-Build still works fine.
v1.3 (May 29th)
-Updated skill build with most recently seen Chu skill build.
v1.2 (May 27th)
-Updated the builders to include the Runes + Masteries from this build in them.
v1.1 (May 26th)
-Fixed some typos + item link error on Rylai's.
-Changed the Dual lane skill build to something that works much better instead of the traditional Maokai skill build. Not really seen Chu dual lane so I'm not sure if this is what he would use, but it's been working for me. In either case: try to get the solo lane. It helps a ton.
v1.0 (May 26th)
Pros / Cons
+Not that hard to solo with.
+Very durable, even without a lot of tanky items.
+Huge, huge, huge AP burst.
+Still helps the team a ton with his ult.
-Need to be somewhat good at farming.
-After doing his huge burst, he has pretty poor sustained damage.
-People are probably going to expect you to tank.
-Does require you to learn good accuracy on Sapling to really maximize your performance, which can be difficult.
Summoner Abilities
Ignite and Flash. No exceptions. Flash saves you and it makes initiating a fight and doing your combo a billion times easier, and Ignite will roll in the kills early on.
Masteries + Runes
0/9/21 masteries are the way to go.
For runes, Chu uses:
x9 Greater Mark of Insight
x9 Greater Seal of Resilience
x6 Greater Glyph of Shielding
x3 Greater Glyph of Warding
x2 Greater Quintessence of Swiftness
x1 Greater Quintessence of Potency
These runes + masteries give you everything you need to succeed with this build: the perfect balance of extra survivability and damage output. The increased move speed is magical, and helps all around, especially if you roaming though.
Skilling Order
Note: If you are roaming, it seems advantageous to max out Maokai's W first, instead of his Q.
Beginner Chu8 Item Build
This is the item build Chu recommends if you're just starting out with this build.
+Exceptional vs AP burst teams.
+Much easier to get a hang of and is a bit more self-sufficient thanks to the spell slows provided by Rylai's etc.
Regrowth Pendant and a Health Potion.
On your trips back, assemble your core items
Philosopher's Stone -> Boots of Speed
Note: If you make a ton of cash, feel free to grab 1-2 [item=Heart of Gold] for mad ricing. Feel free to grab Eleisa's Miracle earlier if the laning phase ends early. In high rated games the laning phase lasts longer, so Chu grabs the Tenacity item later.
Continue to finish your core:
Sorcerer's Shoes -> Sheen
Trinity Force -> [item=Eleisa's Miracle]
Trinity Force is the key item to this build, it gives Maokai everything he needs, more speed, tons more damage, more survivability, etc. Make sure to attack in between abilities to use your procs up :D.
Now that you have the best item for this build, grab these:
Choose between:
Banshee's Veil OR Abyssal Scepter depending on the other team and their stats.
Rylai's Crystal Scepter
Rabadon's Deathcap
Final build should look like this:
Tip: If you are solo queuing, there's no harm in spending 75g to buy wards. They will save your life and pay for themselves by saving you AND netting you and your team kills. If no one else will buy them, DO IT.
Advanced Chu8 Maokai Item Build
This is the build Chu recommends once you get more familiar with how to use Maokai like this. He uses it all the time now over the above build.
+While it's not as great as the above build vs AP burst, it is better vs everything else.
Sapphire Crystal and x2 Health Potion.
On your trips back, assemble your core items
Catalyst the Protector -> Sorcerer's Shoes
Feel free to grab Moonflair Spellblade earlier if the laning phase ends early. In high rated games the laning phase lasts longer, so Chu grabs the Tenacity item later.
Continue to finish your core:
Rod of Ages -> Sheen
Trinity Force
Trinity Force is the key item to this build, it gives Maokai everything he needs, more speed, tons more damage, more survivability, etc. Make sure to attack in between abilities to use your procs up :D.
Now that you have the best item for this build, grab these:
Choose between:
Rabadon's Deathcap
Banshee's Veil
Moonflair Spellblade
Final build should look like this:
Tip: If you are solo queuing, there's no harm in spending 75g to buy wards. They will save your life and pay for themselves by saving you AND netting you and your team kills. If no one else will buy them, DO IT.
Summary + Tips
*Start with the beginner item build
*Try to get a solo lane as much as possible
*Make sure to work your skill combo as much as possible as you level up.
*You have an incredible AP burst, abuse it.
*Buy wards if no one else will
*Farm hard. Chu is one of the best ricers in any DOTA like, so comparing is difficult, but farm as best as you can.
*Abuse your high base melee damage and passive in lane.
*If you do run the solo lane, try roaming the lanes once you level up. You're practically guaranteed to net kills.
*The best thing you can do to help your damage is to practice Saplings, getting the initial damage + the explosion damage is key.
*Make sure you're doing max damage by attacking in-between abilities to use your Trinity Force procs!
Finally, what Chu said about Maokai:
"This is how I did it, and probably how you should to maximize Moekai's cuteness.
1. Learn your combo. Using your spells in succession to maximize your burst potential and achieve increased accuracy with sapling is one thing, but you MUST understand approximately HOW MUCH DAMAGE you can do at each levels. This concept not only applies to Moekai, but to every hero in general. You have sick sick burst damage as Moekai, abuse it!
2. Magic Pen. You need to penetrate enemy holes, you have one of the highest base damage in the game. Take 10 Mpen from runes, and build sorc boots for total of 30 magic pen (I used to have dilemma of choosing between merc and sorc boots since tenacity is a necessity in most games, but the latest patch fixed this problem! Grab one of them tenacity gears later on). This is more than enough for entire game in most games, then you can work on an abbysal scepter later on if you feel the need for more penetration. Haunting guise is an option too, but you need this early for max value and its usually an overkill. Other runes are optional, but IMO movespeed quints are must. Check out my deadwood runepage.
3. Trinity Force. There is one item and only one you need on Moekai. I've experimented with many builds, still am, but every single one of them includes triforce and for a good reason. It basically adds EVERYTHING YOU NEED to look cute as Moekai. Gives you movespeed (so good), extra burst damage, much needed attackspeed to make better use of your passive in intense teamfights, and slow procs for better chasing. All in one item. Fkin smart.
Follow these 3 easy steps and you'll be carrying them nubsie pubsies with ease."
So there you go!
I already credited him in the OP + topic, but all credit goes to Chu8 who is a genius that made this character, someone who was considered way underpowered at the time, extremely viable in high Ranked play. Kudos.
Hope you enjoyed the guide.

We are in an era in which data visualization, infographics and maps are all the rage. For the most part, if you want something to get noticed, it has to be visual. In fact, it has to not only be visual, but be eye-catching, interesting, pretty, unique and come with an awe factor.
A new global wind map called Earth by software engineer Cameron Beccario meets all of those criteria. The interactive map of near real-time wind speeds is stunningly beautiful and just short of hypnotic. Effortless navigation allows users to examine wind velocity around the globe at varying heights, combined with the ability to zoom and pan with ease. Seamless rendering and animation provides an aesthetically appealing and information-rich experience.
The animation below shows wind speeds near the North Pole at different heights. It is evident that at lower heights the wind speeds are less intense (shown in yellow and green) but pick up drastically at higher altitudes (shown in pink, purple, red).
This undeniably impressive visualization has been picked up by numerous news outlets (Huffington Post, Atlantic Cities, Slate and Washington Post), organizations (United Nations World Meteorology Organization and United Nations Office of Disaster Risk Reduction), blogs and countless Twitter users. Given that it meets or exceeds the aforementioned criteria for getting noticed, the coverage comes as no real surprise.
But, I have to wonder if the visual era we are in has caused people to focus too heavily on aesthetics and not enough on the responsibility that comes with publicly displaying data. With all the positives this visualization has going for it, it saddens me that there is no legend accompanying the map. The meaning of each color has to be inferred by the user. And while data sources are cited, there is no real discussion of methodologies used or a good description of what the map can tell us. The most we get as a description is, "a visualization of global weather conditions forecast by supercomputers updated every three hours." Without these critical components, it is difficult for the average user to make sense of the data being displayed and therefore limits its utility. While it's easy to be wowed by visuals, the "data" part of data visualization is just as important.
Visual Insight is a monthly blog series focusing on mapping and data visualizations. To read last month's post, click here.

Eighteen people have been injured after toxic gas used to kill rodents escaped from a ship docked at a harbour in Northern Ireland.
Cargo on the vessel at Warrenpoint, Co Down, had become wet and unstable and a cordon has been established.
The gas is aluminium phosphide, a pesticide used to kill small mammals such as moles and rodents.
Police in the Irish Republic have been informed of the potential of the chemical compound to drift into their area.
A Police Service of Northern Ireland spokesman said: "It is believed that there are five casualties suffering from the effects of exposure to the gas."
A 50m cordon has been set up around the ship.
A Northern Ireland Ambulance Service spokesman said: "We have 18 patients. It is a chemical incident on a ship. Nine are en route to Daisy Hill Hospital and nine are at the scene and they will be transferred to Craigavon Area Hospital."
A Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman confirmed they were dealing with a major incident.

Gregory Wesley Residential Real Estate Broker from Houston, Texasposted over 4 years ago
I've inherited about 40ac of land an I'm trying to figure out what to to with it. The land is all together and not land locked. It's located about 90 miles from Dallas. There's basically nothing near the land. There's a small college about 10 miles away. That's about it. The trees were cut about 7 years ago for the lumber value. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do with some land like this?

NLRB hearing on firing of Affinity nurse Ann Wayt is Monday
IndeOnline.com, 4/29/13
Local nurses are showing support for the rights of registered nurses by attending a National Labor Relations Board hearing in Cleveland that begins Monday, and by wearing stickers that read "I Stand with Ann for RNs' Rights."
These stickers may be seen on nurses in other states as well, and refer to Ann Wayt, an orthopedic nurse and 24-year employee at Affinity Medical Center, who was fired from her job Sept. 26. This was weeks after nurses at the hospital voted to join the National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC).
The NNOC and National Nurses United have filed an unfair labor practice charge against Affinity, which is owned by Community Health Systems, alleging retaliation against Wayt for her union activism. The National Labor Relations Board found this charge had merit and issued a complaint against Affinity.
This charge and other issues will be heard at a hearing at 1 p.m. Monday in front of an administrative law judge at the Federal Office building, 1240 E. Ninth St., Cleveland.
"The hospital believes that the various charges are without merit," said Susan Koosh, vice president of marketing and community relations at Affinity, in a prepared statement. "We intend to mount a vigorous defense against these allegations in the appropriate forum of the judicial system."
Other issues to be heard at the hearing include the employer allegedly denying union representative Michelle Mahon access to the hospital, the employer allegedly threatening to physically harm registered nurses who filled out Assignment Despite Objection forms, and the employer's refusal to bargain.
Local nurses will be wearing stickers at work to show their support of Wayt, and some plan to attend a day or two of the hearing in Cleveland, which may last all week, said Mahon, a registered nurse and national representative based in Cleveland for National Nurses United.
Nurses seek collective bargaining
Wayt was among a group of Affinity nurses that pushed unionization efforts ostensibly in hopes of improving patient care and safety, and establishing guidelines for staff-to-patient ratios. She was fired after management accused her of falsifying patient records, failing to follow hospital protocol and violating patient-privacy laws.
The union has been certified and is trying to negotiate a contract with the hospital.
Pam Gardner, a registered nurse in the intensive-care unit who has worked at Affinity the past nine years, said she hopes that not only will the trial bring about justice for Wayt, but also will help the union have its first contract negotiations.
"Ann is going to get justice for what happened to her," Gardner said. "She's been waiting a long time. We want to stand together for Ann."
In 2008, Wayt was the recipient of the Affinity Medical Center Nurse Excellence Award and was the Cameos of Caring recipient for the University of Akron College of Nursing.
"We're hoping it will make things a lot easier for us," Gardner said. "Our goal is to have our first contract."
Nurses from hospitals in Ohio, West Virginia and California are facing the same challenges, Mahon said.
"This isn't only happening in Massillon," Mahon said. "This is happening across the United States."
She said nurses have the duty by law to protest assignments that may jeopardize safe patient guidelines.
"Unfortunately, nurses have the duty, but they don't have the right," Mahon said. "That's our legal duty. They're trying to follow the law and keep their patients safe. When you respect nurses, you respect patients."
One of the reasons nurses organize is so they may advocate for patients' safety without fear of retribution from their employers. Gardner echoed Mahon's sentiments.
"A contract means respect for our nurses and respect for our patients," Gardner said. "We really can benefit from having a contract as nurses. We're legally obligated to advocate for our patients. Without a nurse's union it's difficult to advocate."
Last month, the union organized pickets outside the hospital to protest unfair labor practices that they say discourage nurses from reporting unsafe working conditions.
"Our community is really lucky that they have nurses that are willing to stand up for patient care," Gardner said. "We believe patient care should be a guarantee in the hospital in every area of the hospital every day."

Santa Cruz County History - Executive Order 9066 and the Residents of Santa Cruz County
Watsonville Register-Pajaronian. Oct. 22, 1943. p. 1
Washington (UP) - War Relocation Authority officials disclosed Friday that 8200 Japanese were moved early this month to a new segregation center at Tule Lake, Calif., and that by Jan. 1 there will be 10,000 more segregated at that camp.
The Japanese who have been and will be taken to the camp are those found disloyal to the United States among the 90,000 who were ousted from the Western Defense Command Area in the first year of war. Some, however, will be children and wives who choose to remain with the member of the family whose segregation is ordered.
The major move of disloyal Japanese was completed by the army Oct. 11. This also included the movement from Tule Lake of 6000 Japanese believed loyal to this country to one of the nine other camps maintained by the WRA.
Under the plan begun a year ago, the segregation of disloyal from loyal Japanese was to be completed by Oct. 20, but delay resulted because of the incompletion of housing facilities and the intensive investigation of thousands who pledged loyalty to the United States but whose pledge was suspected of being insincere.
WRA officials also disclosed that 15,000 Japanese have been permitted to leave the camps to take jobs after being cleared by intelligence agencies and an additional 7000 are out on temporary leave to fill seasonal jobs. The majority eligible for leave are reluctant to depart, however.

How Long Should I Wait Before Starting to Work?
Your plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to returning to your specific line of work. He/she will know how you're progressing and whether or not you have experienced any complications. Generally, most patients are able to return to the "desk job" within 5 to 7 days. More strenuous work, for example involving lifting or extensive upper body movement, will require more time off.
Best wishes.

Breast Augmentation Recovery
Breast augmentation recovery varies from individual to individual depending on how your body heals. In general, I would recommend waiting to work for about 3 to 4 weeks. You may require more time to heal however since your job is strenuous. I would recommend speaking to your plastic surgeon about the safest amount of time for your specific healing.

Return to work after breast augmentation
Thank you for your question. Your surgeon should have gone over this in detail with you. Most surgeons will have you wait a minimum of 4 weeks before returning to vigorous activity or heavy lifting. That gives the body time to heal around the implants. You should always check with your surgeon as they know how you are healing.
Best of luck.
Return to work after augmentation
Your surgeon should be the best one to guide you as to the return to work routine for his practice and your particular case.

How Long Should I Wait Before Starting to Work?
Back to work guidelines will vary from surgeon to surgeon. I have my patients remain home with very limited activity for 1 week. Following that they can return to work however they are advised to refrain from any strenuous activity like working out or any heavy lifting for 4 weeks. You may want to speak to your employer about returning to work for light duties. Be sure to follow your surgeon's specific post-operative instructions carefully

In terms of recovery, I generally recommend no heavy lifting or strenuous activity for about 3-4 weeks. Most of my patients are comfortable to go back to a desk job in a few days after surgery. But if your work requires heavy lifting, you must take more time off. You need to give time for your incisions and breasts to heal after surgery. Please talk to your PS about his/her specific recommendations.

Planning committee ok's rezoning for Schlegel Villages, neighbours say project casts too much shade on their properties
The city's planning committee voted in favour of rezoning the lot for the new Schlegel Village long-term care home despite conflicting criticisms from local residents – who think the building sits too close to their back yards – and the provincial ministry of transportation – which thinks the building sits too close to the planned Windsor-Essex Parkway.
The recommendation to rezone the lot was passed at Monday night's meeting, and it will be up to city council to finalize whether to allow for a 36-metre tall tower where currently nothing above 27 metres high can be built.
The facility, which would include a 10-storey tower, a set of four-storey buildings and a single-level main building would occupy the triangular plot of land between Talbot Road and part of Ashfield Crescent.
James Schlegel, CEO of Schlegel Villages, said the company will keep consulting with nearby homeowners as well as with the Ministry of Transportation in order to find a solution that suits everyone, but he still hopes to break ground for construction of the news building in April.
The recommendation includes a provision that neighbours be included in the subsequent planning and approval processes.
Half a dozen residents from Ashfield Crescent who attended the meeting expressed concerns about the amount of shade the various buildings would cast on their back yards.
Many also expressed concerns about privacy. While their back yards once abutted onto an empty greenspace, the new long-term care home would put residential buildings in its place.
Several residents echoed a suggestion that the complex be set another 100 feet further back from their property lines and closer to what is now Talbot Road, along which the new Windsor-Essex Parkway will run.
However, the Ministry of Transportation has told Schlegel Villages that the current building proposal puts the entire facility too close to its property line and the future parkway.

S.L.E. Lupus Foundation Community-based Program Provides Model for Patient Support
Published Paper Demonstrates Value of Multi-disciplinary Collaboration Between Social Workers and Medical Professionals
NEW YORK, NY – September 5, 2012 – A new paper in a special volume of the academic journal Social Work in Health Care highlights the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation as a model for how community-based social work can positively impact patients with chronic diseases. Called "Psychosocial Impact of Lupus: Social Work's Role and Function," this issue devoted entirely to lupus was spearheaded by Nancy Beckerman, CSW, ACSW, DSW, Yeshiva University. Contributors include several leading physicians in lupus treatment and research from NYU Langone Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Hospital for Special Surgery.
Wendy Schudrich, MSW, Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Yeshiva University, authored the paper in collaboration with S.L.E. Lupus Foundation National Director of Program Development Diane Gross, MPH and Director of Social Services Jessica Rowshandel, MSW.
Their paper demonstrates how community-based outreach such as that developed by the Foundation effectively meets the psychosocial needs of people living with a chronic disease such as lupus. Dr. Nancy Beckerman and Dr. Charles Auerbach from Yeshiva University initiated this research and invited the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation to provide an overview of the role for community social work in lupus. Drs. Beckerman and Auerbach first identified the specific psychosocial challenges faced by people with lupus. For instance, like many people living with a chronic disease, people with lupus battle feelings of depression, anxiety and isolation as well as financial difficulties that come along with physical limitations affecting employment.
"The S.L.E. Foundation is an excellent example of how the social work field can make a real difference in patient lives through peer support, social services and community outreach programs," commented Ms. Schudrich. "Lupus is one of many diseases that hit women and people of color the hardest, and the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation program demonstrates the value of working with existing medical and community resources to provide psychosocial support to underserved urban neighborhoods. Because lupus is such a complex and chronic disease that affects those who may already be underserved, the community-based services of the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation are an essential component of the health and social safety net for this vulnerable population."
S.L.E. Lupus Foundation Community-based Program
Over 12 years old, the Lupus Cooperative of New York (LCNY) is a grassroots, community-based effort that assists individuals with lupus through direct support services that include help resolving difficulties related to healthcare, housing, employment, personal finances, education and emotional issues. Specific services include bilingual and monolingual support groups, physician and other healthcare referrals, one-on-one counseling, nutrition and exercise workshops, referrals regarding social services and benefits and assistance filling out applications, education sessions for other community-based agencies, provider education, participation in health fairs, monthly advice column, and bilingual health education materials.
In addition, community social work at the Foundation focuses on numerous activities with the goal of reaching and connecting different segments of the lupus community and building awareness about relevant issues in broader society.
"The success of this model is largely because we are located in the neighborhoods where residents are at greatest risk for lupus, and where we have been able to foster relationships with complementary health care organizations such as local hospitals and clinics," commented Ms. Rowshandel. "That integration within the community allows us to draw on the best resources to help people with lupus access a wide range of services to meet their diverse needs. In addition, we are able to advocate on their behalf with government officials at the city, state and federal levels."

One corner of the repertoire that tends to receive less attention from contemporary music festivals is devotional choral music.
Aberdeen's St Machar's Cathedral was jam-packed for the official world premiere of Crucifixus, the latest work by Paul Mealor. NYOS Futures, the contemporary music group of the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland along with the National Youth Choir of Scotland were on stupendous form conducted by Christopher Bell in a lustrous performance of a work that imbues traditional melodic and harmonic language with new life.
Much of the music in the six-part work was sweetly tender and glassy smooth. High soaring strings or solo violin blended with piano, glockenspiel and shimmering chime tree. The choral singing ranged from gentle whispers to thunderous power or even tumult in the fifth movement when challenged by fierce torrents of percussion. The voice of Christ on the cross was sung with moving dramatic import by baritone Jeremy Huw Williams. In the finale, echoes of earlier movements led into double fortissimo alleluias from the choir before dissolving sweetly once again into silence.

Two further world premiers debuted over the weekend, both involving NYOS Futures. On Friday in The Lemon Tree world renowned harpsichordist Elisabeth Chojnacka gave a sizzling performance of Stephen Montague's Phrygian Ferment, a propulsive post minimalist work for amplified harpsichord, strings and percussion – one of this year's most dazzling Sound events.
In Aberdeen Art Gallery on Saturday, Close to Shore, by Oliver Searle featured virtuoso flautist Richard Craig on giant contrabass flute backed by NYOS strings – its wide ranging instrumental imaginings were as thrilling to see as to hear.

NEW YORK — AT&T Inc. is joining T-Mobile in reducing monthly fees for people who pay for their own devices.
It's the latest break from a longstanding practice of offering subsidies on devices to lock customers into two-year service agreements.
Many customers have been forgoing those subsidies anyway as they choose plans that allow frequent phone upgrades. But until now, AT&T and Verizon have still factored in the costs of those subsidies in the monthly service fees for voice, text and data, whether the customer uses the subsidies or not.
Beginning this week, customers are able to switch to the cheaper plans if they buy or bring their own phone. That includes paying for the device in installments through the frequent-upgrade Next plan. Those whose contracts have run out also qualify.
Most customers will save at least $15 a month under the new AT&T plans.
Here's a more detailed look at the plans and why it makes sense for most people to switch.
For years, Americans have been used to paying $100 or $200 for their phones and agreeing to two-year contracts. A high-end phone typically costs $600 or more, and phone companies make up the difference by baking the subsidies into the monthly fees for voice, text and data.
In March, T-Mobile US Inc. departed from that practice with new pricing plans. It started charging full prices for phones through a down payment and monthly installments over two years. It also lowered the service fees for voice, text and data to remove what would have gone to the subsidies. So customers get reductions in overall monthly bills once the devices are paid off.
In July, T-Mobile began a frequent-upgrade program known as Jump. Customers pay $10 a month to participate and get new phones up to twice a year instead of once every two years.
AT&T, Verizon Wireless and Sprint Corp. followed with their own frequent-upgrade plans. All of them charge full prices for phones, spread out over 20 to 24 months. Sprint reduces monthly service fees under those plans, but the discounts end after the phone is paid off over two years. T-Mobile customers keep the lower service rates indefinitely.
AT&T and Verizon kept service fees the same, meaning customers under the upgrade plans paid for the phones twice — through installments and through subsidies they didn't use. The service fee reductions announced Dec. 5 bring AT&T in line with T-Mobile and eliminate the double charge for phones. Verizon wouldn't comment on its plans.
The math
New customers will save $15 a month if they supply their own phone.
For existing customers, savings also will generally be at least $15 a month:
Those on the cheapest plans, offering 300 megabytes of data a month, will save $25 per phone.
For accounts sharing 1 to 2 gigabytes of data, the savings start at $15 for a single-line account and increase to $18.75 per phone for a family of four.
Those on the 4-gigabyte data plan will save $15 per phone.
For plans with even more data, the amount saved actually decreases as more phones are added, but it's at least $20 for a single-line account. The amount saved goes as high as $130 a month for a single line with 50 gigabytes.
Keep in mind that the fees don't include the cost of the devices, and there's a $36 activation fee unless you're on the Next upgrade plan.
Customers switching from contract plans to the frequent-upgrade Next plan may end up paying more overall at first, as high-end devices such as Apple's iPhone 5S and Samsung's Galaxy S4 typically cost an additional $27 a month for 20 months.
AT&T is also offering a new Next option that lets you upgrade to a new phone every 18 months instead of every 12 months while stretching out payments to 26 months. Assuming AT&T charges the same prices, the high-end devices will cost $21 a month.
The bottom line
AT&T is changing contract prices for new customers and offering the new rates to existing contract customers. The regular plans aren't going away for existing customers, but most people will break even or find the new rates cheaper. An exception: Some accounts with at least three phones sharing 6 gigabytes or more of data will save by keeping the old plan.
What if only some people in a family plan want to bring their own phones? No problem. Only those people will get the reduced service rates. However, the remaining family members must accept the new contract rates, which are generally better anyway.
Those on family plans won't have to wait for everyone's contract to expire to switch. Each phone will get the reduced fee as that contract ends.
The new plans have no contract requirements, though customers on Next will have to pay off remaining installments right away if they leave.

T-Mobile spikes on Sprint news
T-Mobile US Inc., the fourth-largest U.S. wireless carrier, jumped the most in more than a year after The Wall Street Journal reported that rival Sprint Corp. is considering a bid for the company.
The shares rose 8.6 percent to close at $27.64 Friday, marking the biggest one-day gain since October 2012. The stock has climbed 39 percent this year.
Sprint, the third-largest carrier, is studying antitrust concerns and could push ahead with a T-Mobile bid in the first half of next year, the Journal reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter. Such a deal would leave the U.S. with only three major mobile phone services, potentially raising the hackles of regulators. Sprint and T-Mobile rank well behind Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc. in wireless customers.
"There is little chance for a Sprint/T-Mobile deal to get through regulators over the next two years," said Walt Piecyk, an analyst at BTIG LLC in New York.
Sprint, based in Overland Park, Kan., hasn't decided whether it will make a bid, the Journal said. The deal could be worth more than $20 billion, depending on how much of a stake Sprint buys, the newspaper reported. T-Mobile had a market valuation of $22.1 billion at the end of Friday's trading.

Allegan County clerk-register has done outstanding job
I have known Joyce Watts, Allegan County clerk-register for more than 30 years, and I am honored to urge the voters of Allegan County to re-elect her.
As the former Allegan County prosecuting attorney, I was able to observe Joyce as she carried out the duties of the Allegan County clerk-register. There is no question that Joyce has done an outstanding job. She is in charge of most of Allegan County's vital records, and she understands the need to safeguard those extremely important documents. The service she has rendered to Allegan County sets the standard for the state.
Joyce is the only candidate for clerk-register who is endorsed by the Right to Life of Michigan PAC.
Allegan County is fortunate to have Joyce Watts as its Clerk-Register. I strongly recommend that voters support her in the Republican primary on Aug. 7, 2012.
ANDREW J. MARKS/Allegan
Watts has made clerk-register office more efficient
True public servants don't go into service for power, money or prestige. They work to serve the people and carry out the office the people elected them to serve. Joyce Watts is the epitome of a public servant. She is constantly working for Allegan County, making the clerk-register's office more efficient, more innovative and more customer-friendly. Her main duty is maintaining the records that touch people's lives, and she is going above and beyond in that duty.
In the recent State of the County address, Allegan County Administrator Rob Sarro highlighted four innovative programs at the clerk-register's office. These programs include the Register of Deeds office partnering with Equalization, digitization of court records, accepting credit card payments and e-recording. All these measures increase the efficiency and productivity of the office even as the county has cut its budget.
Joyce Watts continues to be a good conservative steward of taxpayer money and deserves to be re-elected.
Please join me in voting for Joyce Watts for Allegan County clerk-register of deeds in the Republican Primary, Tuesday, Aug. 7.
GERRY HILDENBRAND/former chairman, Allegan County Republican Party
Thank County Clerk Tonda Rich for progress in Ionia County
To the residents of Ionia County: Look around you on Aug. 7, when you head to the polls to vote in the primary election.
The election workers will have laptops, not paper. You will swipe your driver's license or ID card and you will be given a ballot. Then you will fill in your ballot, take it to a vote tabulator machine, insert the ballot and know your vote is protected in a secure place.
After the polls close, an electronic card is delivered with those sealed ballots to the County Clerk's office. The card is loaded into a computer system that quickly records the votes.
Gone is the chalkboard where numbers were tediously changed as each precinct was counted. Now you can access www.ioniacounty.org and follow the election results.
All of these changes are the result of hard work by election workers countywide led by Tonda Rich, our county clerk.
Tonda Rich conducts herself in a mature manner, secure in her knowledge of all the duties of county clerk. The challenger is hanging his hat on office hours and the notion that he will never make a mistake.
Tonda Rich is a committed county employee who will continue to provide outstanding service to the people of Ionia County.
Still not sure? Call up your township, village or city clerk and ask them who should get your vote for county clerk. They will tell you to vote for Tonda Rich.

Keep Beahan on the job in Cascade Township
Robert Beahan is uniquely qualified to continue as Cascade Township supervisor.

Rob is truly dedicated to our community and has consistently served the best interests of Cascade's residents.

Disselkoen is solid choice for Ottawa County commissioner
I have had the opportunity to work with Don Disselkoen as a member of the Ottawa Community Health Board. Don has demonstrated his commitment to serving those in our county who are persons with developmental disabilities and mental health issues. He was also instrumental in re-visioning and strengthening the mission and vision of the agency. Don is a person of integrity and a skillful leader and I'm proud to be able to endorse him for Ottawa County commissioner.

Let Leblanc continue strong service to Ada Township
We urge Ada Township voters to vote for Trustee Paul Leblanc. Paul was selected by the Township Board to fill a vacancy, from among several applicants in 2011.
Paul is an experienced community planner, and his professional knowledge, work experience and dedication will continue to be an asset to our rapidly growing township.

Alles is best choice for treasurer of Cannon Township
As retiring treasurer of Cannon Township, I am pleased to endorse Jim Alles to be the new treasurer of Cannon Township for the next four years. His opponent, Dick Davies, is a fine gentleman, long retired, whom I have known for years. But today's treasurer's office has become a highly complex operation with extensive use of electronic spreadsheets, internet wire/ACH transfers, bar codes and other computerized state-of-the-art EFT techniques.
I believe Alles to be much better prepared to handle the daily hands-on administration of this modern treasurer's office.
I would also add that Alles has received the endorsements of five other township treasurers: Jim Townsend (Alpine), Jerry Davis (Courtland), Roger Stedman (Reynolds) along with Jim Stover (former Plainfield) and Mary Carpenter (retired-Cascade). Experienced township treasurers consider Alles to be well-qualified.
I would encourage Cannon voters to please vote for Jim Alles on Aug. 7 to keep the Cannon Treasurer's office running efficiently.

Koorndyk has skills to modernize Grand Rapids Township's technology
I am writing today in support of Lindsey Koorndyk for Grand Rapids Township trustee. Lindsey possesses the tremendous communication skills needed to help modernize and update the township's technology in order to be more user-friendly with township constituents.
Lindsey will also bring a fresh perspective to the Grand Rapids Township Board, along with a can-do attitude. I know Lindsey understands the political landscape as well as most citizens much older than she, as she grew up involved in many campaigns.
Please cast one of your votes for my sister, Lindsey Koorndyk, for Grand Rapids Township trustee.

Vote 'no' on Alpine Township millage renewal
This tax should not be a renewal as it was to be rolled back 30 percent when the District Library was approved. In October 1993, Alpine Harvester Newsletter, summary of facts, cited " If a District Library with County-wide millage is ever approved, the Board will have to decide to rollback the millage or use the funds to save toward a library building".
When the District Library millage was approved, the Alpine Township Board chose to roll back the township library's portion of this millage. Some time after the millage was rolled back, the Alpine Township's elected board decided to renege on the promised rollback and once again collect the full millage. This rollback now amounts about $112,500 in extra taxes to all the Alpine Township taxpayers.
The Alpine Harvester Newsletter also stated, "The fire funds were to be reserved to replace fire trucks as needed rather than day-to-day operations of the department." The Alpine Township Board used fire truck funds to repay a bad grant they failed on.
I support a no vote on this renewal as I feel the wording and amount of the millage is not correct.

MacGregor stood up to special interests
Michigan lawmakers get a lot of grief from the media and voters, but occasionally they also deserve our support – like when Rep. Peter MacGregor stood up to special interests to support Michigan drivers and accident survivors.
Last year, insurance companies proposed a bill that cut auto insurance benefits and impose government mandated prices on health care providers. If HB 4936 would have passed, it would have meant a huge decline in the quality of care for seriously injured accident victims, increased costs to Michigan taxpayers by passing the cost of these seriously injured victims on Medicaid, and cost our state thousands of jobs in the healthcare field. This does not include that the Michigan Hospital Association estimates $150 million dollar loss in the first year.
Rep. MacGregor stood up to the powerful insurance company lobby and did the right thing for our state by opposing this bill. We need more independent-minded representatives likes this in our legislature. He deserves to represent our community in Grand Rapids for another term.

"The funding is from the Business License fee revenue," said Jill Bergman, town economic development coordinator, in an e-mail.
The funds will be given to groups that will most benefit the Danville business community, and that could be expected to get good, fast results. The purpose of the funds is not to promote specific businesses or organizations.
Preference will be given to requests that provide matching funds, and to those that target both residents and folks outside the community to make everyone aware of businesses in town and encourage people to patronize them. Funds have been given in the past to the Danville Area Chamber of Commerce, Discover Danville Association, the Museum of the San Ramon Valley and the Livery.
Applications are due to Danville Town Offices by 5 p.m., Friday, April 18. Request applications on the town Web site (www.ci.danville.ca.us) or contact Bergman at 314-3369.

Independent Study Drawing 1
"Nowhere to Go" (working title)
Here is the drawing I've been working on for the last month and a half. It's part of a series of three drawings I am doing over the summer (for fall credit). In case you want to know, that girl in the drawing is my mom. :D
To try and show more my process, I decided to take photos as I was working on this. So... I'll post those now. I apologize for the horrific quality. I was just snapping photos quick in order to help me with proportions.
(For the finished drawing I scanned it, hence the super better quality)
Ahh! Wow. That's a lot of sad girls. This post will probably look like a sad girl invasion. :D

Trieste, Italy, 2013/11/27 - Amped Authenticate software provides a suite of powerful tools to determine whether an image is an unaltered original, an original generated by a specific device, or the result of manipulation with photo editing software - AmpedSoftware.com.
Amped Software today announced the launch of its newest software solution, Amped Authenticate. This new product is the only image authentication software on the market that offers a complete suite of powerful tools to determine whether an image is an unaltered original, an original generated by a specific device, or the result of manipulation with a photo editing software.
Today there is an increasing need for trustworthy digital multimedia data to support forensic and security investigations. With the advent of cellphone cameras and the prominence of video surveillance, often the witness to a crime is a machine. New technologies have also made it easy to edit or modify the content of a digital image without leaving any visual trace of tampering. The potential for an image to be manipulated often makes it difficult to evaluate the authenticity of a digital photo so it can be accepted as valid evidence in court.
Until now, only a few world-recognized experts were able to determine if an image used as evidence in the courtroom was actually an original or if someone tampered with it. Experts previously had to do this with self-made tools and very specialized scientific techniques, often with difficulty repeating and explaining results. Current products and processes are focused on one or relatively few scientific tools, or reliant on a limited database to match images with likely devices with little real scientific value as a definitive result. Furthermore, a skilled image forger can trick these database products to re-create an image in the format expected by the system.
Amped Authenticate puts the power of multiple tests, procedures, and reporting in one package to improve the users ability to detect tampered images or assess originality. Amped Authenticates key features include; image ballistics tools to verify the camera used to shoot the image, batch tools for multiple image analysis, and tools to discover tampered areas of a photo.
Amped Software products are already being used by top forensic labs in over 30 countries and have supported many cases worldwide. Amped Software is well known as an innovator, and Amped Authenticate follows this path of innovation.
Amped Software continues to invest in developing technology to support our customers in the forensics and security industries, said Martino Jerian, CEO and Founder of Amped Software. The addition of the Amped Authenticate technology to our line of products will finally empower our customers to analyze an image using many techniques that previously were not available outside of the scientific community.
Amped Authenticate is now available directly from Amped Software and authorized Amped Software resellers and partners.
About Amped Software
Amped Software (ampedsoftware.com) develops software for the analysis, authentication and enhancement of images and video for forensic, military, security and investigative applications. Amped FIVE, the companys flagship product, is used by law enforcement agencies, forensic labs, and security companies worldwide.

Financial Investor Moody's Sees "Big Boost" From Online Gaming For New Jersey Casinos
Although the state of New Jersey only passed their online gambling and poker bill earlier this week, one of the major investment firms is already hailing it as a "big boost" to the twelve casinos that operate in Atlantic City.
The investment firm Moody's Investors Service stated that internet gambling would provide "much needed help" to the Atlantic City operators, the third largest in the United States behind only Nevada and Pennsylvania. "The law is a shot in the arm for the existing Atlantic City operators," Moody's vice president Peggy Holloway stated to Associated Press writer Wayne Parry on Thursday. "They have been struggling with weak gaming revenues and competition from other states."
Holloway's report doesn't put an exact amount on the new revenues that will be brought into the New Jersey gaming system, but points out many avenues that will be beneficial to them. "It is difficult to estimate how much growth it will generate for the New Jersey gaming market, which last year raked in about $3 billion of gaming revenue," Holloway's report stated. "The new internet capability will surely draw to gaming some people who don't currently visit casinos. Operators will also have the opportunity to offer online players incentives to visit their facilities in person."
Parry cites Holloway's choices for "winners" under the new online gambling system in New Jersey. With four of the twelve casinos in New Jersey, Holloway says that Caesars Entertainment would be the biggest beneficiary of the new law. Caesars would have the most to offer its players with its ownership of the World Series of Poker and could move quickly to opening up an online offering with its partnership with 888 Holdings PLC, which provides its software platform internationally. Boyd Gaming and MGM Resorts International, the co-owners of the Borgata, could also see some benefit, according to Holloway.
Not mentioned by Holloway, but something that lurks in the background, is the potential purchase of the Atlantis Casino and Hotel by the powerful online poker company PokerStars. If the purchase of the Atlantis by PokerStars is approved by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission (NJCCC), PokerStars would bring an influx of money to improve one of the poorer-performing casinos on the Atlantic City Boardwalk. It would also bring its potent online poker operation (and other gaming options) to the New Jersey online gaming industry.
The new law, passed rapidly by the New Jersey legislature and signed by Governor Chris Christie earlier this week, is more than just online poker. The new law allows Atlantic City casinos to offer any game online that is currently offered in their establishments (it also doesn't require players to be New Jersey residents, only that their computer is physically located in the state). An analyst with Wells Fargo Securities, Dennis Farrell, noted to Parry that online gambling in New Jersey could be a $1.5 billion industry within five years, which would provide a tremendous influx of capital to the Atlantic City casinos.
That industry could potentially grow if the current wave of interstate compacts comes into existence. The New Jersey law allows for interstate compacts to be signed with other states to increase the player pool. Nevada's online poker law originally left the potential for interstate operations in the hands of federal authorities but, recognizing the gridlock in Washington, D. C. and the inability to pass federal online gaming regulations, moved forward in late February to allow Governor Brian Sandoval the ability to negotiate pacts with other gaming states to increase player pools. (Delaware, the other state that has passed online gaming regulations, also has an interstate clause in its regulations.)
While only three states currently have passed online gaming and poker regulations, several other states are beginning (or continue) to entertain the idea. California (the largest state in the U. S. by population) recently introduced online poker legislation in its General Assembly, while the state of Iowa has passed an online poker bill through a Senate subcommittee and is expected to act on that legislation in the near future. Other states may jump on the bandwagon as the state-by-state regulation of online casino gaming and poker picks up speed.
