Tasha Flower Fascinator Headband, $48 from Nordstrom
Fashion History: The wedding veil was invented in the 19th century as a way to convey the bride's modesty and virginity.
Let's take a moment to absorb that…
A lot has changed in the past 200 years.
We're all friends here, so we can be honest with each other: the modesty and virginity train has left most of us a looong time ago. So, unless you want to go traditional (just faking the whole modesty thing for grandma), choose a different option for your wedding veil. Non-traditional options like flowers, fascinators and hair pins all add quite a spin to your wedding day outfit by giving you the ability to create your own look. Even for my own wedding, I wore a floral hat: just a hat made of real flowers. Every time I look at photos from my wedding, I smile.
Wedding Veils on a Budget: Where to Find Them
Etsy– This marketplace for all things creative is perhaps the best place to find a unique veil for less than $30.
Amazon– If cheap is more important that style, then you want to check out Amazon. During a recent search, we found wedding veils for less than $5.
Local fabric shop– While the local fabric shop may not be the first place you think about when looking for a veil, these shops can be great places to get supplies to make your own veil.
eBay– The online marketplace is a great site to find vintage veils and fascinators.
So here are a few options for awesome wedding veils on a budget.

Yes, OK! I knew I'd seen this. I really liked it then, too! I'm glad to see it getting another shot! GMV
THis will get rejected also because woot does not print Pacman shirts. It could be because there are already others already available elsewhere or it could be because of copyright laws. I don't remember.

Tuesday's Afternoon Update
Mandatory paid sick leave battle heating up
Florida has a public health motivation for imposing paid sick-leave mandates on private employers, a task force created by state lawmakers was told today. The panel has to report back to the Legislature in January on whether the state should follow the lead of Connecticut by requiring employers to offer a minimum number of paid sick-days. More at the Orlando Sentinel.
Lazy days of summer? Not for Florida's lobbying industry
The Capitol hallways and committee rooms were mostly quiet in July, August and September. What's more, the full slate of legislative elections was still a year away. But that relative calm did not stop the business of lobbying. More at the Jacksonville Business Journal.

getting sidetrackedFriday, September 05, 2008
I'm having trouble staying focused lately. Maybe it is because I don't have a plan to my day. And my lists are so long I just seem to hop from one thing to another. Like yesterday, for instance. I had a huge list. With a lot of things that needed to be done. So, there I was moving right along. I had a package I needed to mail, but needed the address. So I hopped onto the computer to get it. Next thing I knew, I was reading blogs. Hopped onto Parikha's blog. To wish her a Happy Birthday. (It was Theresa's Birthday, too!) Saw the peanut butter cups she made.
Next thing I knew I was in the kitchen. Measuring the ingredients. You know. Because, making cookies for cookie of the week was on the list, too. This could be considered a cookie, right?
Then I was getting the twine. To wrap Libby's for school. I knew she would like this. The boys, not so much. Put theirs in a plastic bag.
Darn recipe only makes twelve. Two for each of the children for after school. One for each of the children to pack in the lunch boxes. That leaves three. Um, yeah. They are delicious. Note to self......double recipe next time.
Also on the list. Knit another pair of these gloves. Writing down exactly what I do as I go along. And on the list for Monday......post the pattern.
45 comments
Oh, I don't think anyone will argue about this not being a cookie of the week. Yummy! Now I'm side tracked. Hmmm, what was I suppose to be doing?ReplyDelete
i get sidetracked all the time - some mornings i have to ban myself from powering up the laptop, because i know i'll just get sucked into blog reading.ReplyDelete
i love how these peanut butter cups are spreading like wildfire :) and yes, they definitely qualify for cookie of the week!
it's the change of seasons in the air-time for distractions-but you seem to be headed in the right direction-I will make these this weekend(I love your wrapping!!!) And I like the yarn you've chosen this time VERY much...ReplyDelete
I am a Master of getting Sidetracked! I do fairly well Monday thru Friday, but come Saturday....that is a whole different story! I must say tho, I think those peanut butter cups looked like they were worth a little sidetracking!ReplyDelete
love this combo of sweetness. i'm sure the lunch tables will be buzzing about these treats!ReplyDelete
i'm resisting the urge to run to the grocery for chocolate chips.ReplyDelete
what is that beautiful gray yarn?
Now I hope you're ready to account for those three missing peanut butter cups, Missy!!ReplyDelete
The gray of the new gloves is just gorgeous. Have a great weekend, Leslie:)
at least you got sidetracked in the best possible way. :)ReplyDelete
I love that yarn. Note to self, get some light/medium gray yarn.ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to your pattern! I want to make a pair of fingerless mitts. I'm halfway through a pair of orange mittens right now. Do you have any suggestions for the crotch of the thumb? Heh, that sounds dirty. But anyway, on my test mitten, I ended up with a decent sized hole in the V where the thumb connects to the hand. Does that happen to you?
Have a wonderful weekend!
yummy! as soon as my wrist heals up I am making some, or making the girls make me some. Yes, that sounds much better.ReplyDelete
Oh, it just sounds just like my days lately - no plans, long lists, unfocussed,hopping around etc! I wish I ate cookies like these to sum it up but didn't. However, they are delicious and I will try baking them too!ReplyDelete
Hope the weekend will kick you back into the routine of things.
Chocolate and peanut butter is a major weakness of mine. Yum!!!ReplyDelete
oh, i'll go down that sidetrack anyday! i think my husband would gladly join me, too. : )ReplyDelete
Hi, I've really enjoyed reading your blog. I awarded you the "Brillante Blog Award" on my blog:ReplyDelete
can't wait for you to share your pattern!ReplyDelete
really. who wouldn't get distracted with an image like that dancing through her head?ReplyDelete
my hips hate you.
If that is called 'getting sidetracked' I don't know what I do all day. I drooled over even just the ingredients photo, yummo! You are such an amazing woman Leslie.ReplyDelete
I made these today -- YUM! :)ReplyDelete
The peanut butter cups look great! I wonder how they'd work with crunchy peanut butter.ReplyDelete
I wish you were my neighbor. I'd trade cookies with you in a heart beat (mine don't tend to look quite as nice, but they are always tasty).

"Substantially improved support for the power management features of modern Radeon graphics cores is among the major new additions of the now available first release candidate of Linux 3.11. For this release, Linus Torvalds changed the code name from 'Unicycling Gorilla' to 'Linux for Workgroups' and modified the logo that some systems display when booting: it now depicts a Tux holding a flag with a symbol that is reminiscent of the logo of Windows for Workgroups 3.11, which was released in 1993." Just awesome. Nothing else.

Commencement Speaker and Brown University President Ruth J. Simmons receives an honorary degree from President Joel Seligman, left, and Grand Marshal Jesse T. Moore.
Brown University President Ruth J. Simmons knows the glory of college graduations and what she believes should be a heavy burden placed on graduates to use their knowledge to serve society.
"[And] that burden is not limited to what you do in your laboratory or in your practice, in the classroom or in the boardroom," she said Sunday in her commencement address to the College of Arts, Sciences & Engineering graduates at the University of Rochester. "It extends to where you are at every moment of your life. Your education benefits society only if you are a drum major for human dignity."
Applause resounded and about 1,200 graduates of the Class of 2012 stood to acknowledge her vision of the challenges ahead as well as her concerns about America's future. "I believe that today our country may be at a turning point," she warned. "Many are of a view that too many of our institutions, too many leaders, and too many national policies are failing to observe and respect a vital truth: the overall health of our nation relies on respect and regard for all. Not the few. Not the privileged. But all."
The sunny, warm morning ceremony brought more than 6,000 peoplegraduates, their families, friends, dignitaries, and University faculty and staffto the Eastman Quadrangle to witness the 162nd commencement with its presentation of honors, formal remarks, and conferring of bachelor's and master's degrees.
Simmons, who is stepping down after 11 years as Brown University's president, received an honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters. The Most Rev. Matthew H. Clark, Roman Catholic Bishop of Rochester, was awarded an honorary degree Doctor of Divinity at the ceremony. In his greetings to graduates, Clark wished for them the opportunity "to learn and serve and grow all the days of your lives. Keep the Meliora of this great University before you."
At a time of accelerating change around the world, University of Rochester President Joel Seligman told graduates that there is no reason to be fearful. "You are unusually well-prepared for it. You have already illustrated your sense of initiative and ability to make fundamental decisions by designing your own curriculum. You possess unusually refined senses of self-reliance and often creativity. That is the Rochester Way."
During his remarks, Seligman asked for a moment of silence to remember Jeffrey Bordeaux Jr., a student in the Class of 2012 who died on campus last year. Just a few hours later, those attending the Eastman School of Music commencement in Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre paused for a silent tribute to student Shibai (Victor) Jia and faculty member Zvi Zeitlin, who died during the current academic year.
Composer George Walker '56 (DMA) received the honorary degree Doctor of Music at the Eastman School commencement and shared his perspective from a multifaceted career as a musician, pianist, and educator. In his view, careers can appear to follow a twisting path or display as "a mosaic where some colors will be brighter than others." Persistence and resilience are essential for survival, Walker said. Frustrations are inevitable, but they can be overcome with focus and determination.
On the Eastman Quadrangle, the celebratory balloons and beach balls were tossed among the graduating seniors throughout the ceremony. Lucas Piazza, president of the Senior Class Council from Averill Park, N.Y., who majored in cultural consumerism, spoke on behalf of the class. He reminisced about their first candlelight gathering as freshmen, the best party site at Riverview, and the national news events they sharedfrom the presidential election of Barack Obama to the death of Steve Jobs of Apple.
Piazza's excitement in his closing remark of "Let's go tackle the world" was tempered by President Simmons's description of reality once students leave the university community. "There are differences that will challenge you every day as you make choices in your personal and professional lives," she cautioned in her address. "I urge you not to retreat into groups of like-minded privileged individuals, but to use your voice in the service of those whose rights are trampled."
Other awardees at the College and Eastman commencements included:
During the University's 2012 commencement season, 3,092 bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees will be conferred. Photos and videos of the weekend's ceremonies can be found at www.rochester.edu/commencement/2012.

The athletic center at Emmanuel College, which opened one year ago, is now named for Jack and Jane Shaw during a special ceremony on a warm, sunny afternoon on Saturday, Oct. 5, at EC's 94th Annual Homecoming Weekend.
The official name is the Jack and Jane Shaw Athletic Center – to exalt Jesus Christ.
Jack and Jane Shaw are long time supporters of student scholarships and educational institutions, including Emmanuel College. They have had a distinguished career in real estate development, property management and investing. Today, Mr. Shaw is Chairman and CEO of Shaw Resources in Greenville, S.C.
"Jack and Jane have served in a number of influential roles over the years," President Michael Stewart said during the ceremony. "They are people with a clear purpose, and they have invested their lives into fulfilling the calling God has had on their lives with their family, community and business."
Mr. Shaw was the first in his family to graduate from college and was the valedictorian of his graduating class at Emmanuel College in 1951 when it was still only a high school called Franklin Springs Institute. He later served on EC's Board of Trustees and was also board chair. He served fours years as president of EC's National Alumni Association. He and Mrs. Shaw were the primary contributors when EC built its current library, which is called the Shaw-Leslie Learning Resources Center.
"When my parents enrolled me at Emmanuel, it was not a school of recognition," Mr. Shaw said. "Nevertheless, true to her name, Emmanuel, God was with us. In God's providence, Emmanuel was the place for me.
"I would not be the person I am today had it not been for the sacrifice of the faculty and staff who poured of themselves into my life. My dreams, my hopes, my life are embedded in that foundation for which I am debtor to many people," he said.
In addition to his work as an accomplished lay speaker, teacher, lecturer and mentor, Mr. Shaw was elected to the South Carolina General Assembly. He has served as trustee and chairman of the Greenville Hospital System University Medical Center Board of Trustees, member of the Clemson University Foundation Board, member of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention, member of the Southern Baptist Foundation's Board of Trustees, the Greenville Community Foundation Board, and the Greenville Tech Foundation Entrepreneur's Forum, as well as the Board of Regents of Oral Roberts University. He has also served on the Samaritan's Purse Board, the World Medical Missions Board, and Holmes Bible College Board of Trustees.
"The Emmanuel College of today has been built upon the foundation laid by those who have gone before us," Mr. Shaw said. "Now, building on a history of 94 years and guided by the vision and passion of President Stewart and his administrative team, a proven Board of Trustees, and a faculty and staff of unquestioned loyalty and commitment, Emmanuel has become a recognized and desired institution of academic excellence of which we can all be justly proud.
"Look around you—this is not your father's Emmanuel," he added.
"Many people who will come here you won't see in church. Their only Bible is the sports page. Their church is an arena, an athletic center. What an opportunity this presents for Emmanuel. Through the medium of sports and the events that take place here, may we be among those who take the Gospel into everyone's world by planting 'the good seed'," he challenged.
Bill Cox, a member of EC's Executive Board of Trustees, was the first speaker at the ceremony and welcomed the nearly 300 guests and student athletes who gathered for the special event. Dr. C.Y. Melton, a former president of Emmanuel College, shared about how Mr. Shaw symbolically held his hand during the years of his presidency from 1970 to 1983.
At the close of the ceremony, everyone sang the alma mater with an octet of some of Emmanuel's very talented music students led by Mickey Rowell, music professor, and accompanied by Dr. Leslie Boucher, Music Department Chair and School of Arts and Sciences Dean. Offering the closing comments and prayer was Brian James, Vice President for Development.
"Thank you so much for believing in the mission of Emmanuel College and for your support today and through the years," President Stewart said to the Shaws. "You have been and continue to be a blessing to Emmanuel and to our mission to prepare students to become Christ-like disciples who integrate faith, learning and living for effective careers, scholarship and service."

I am going to get an adaptor and mask to use my DM22 back on my RZ so eager to know what has caused this to your mask!
Yes that mask is designed to go under the focusing screen.That is why the mask has those three cut aways to fit around the focusing screen calibration supports.However this is not a good thing as any additional surfaces that the light goes through compared to the lens to sensor path will shift focus.No much because it is plastic.I would recommend making a mask that sits on top of the focusing screen that is only a frame.By that I mean make a frame with a hole for the framing area.The image on the ground glass will be clearer.Also I would not put that mask with burnt parts under the mirror. Some material may fall off and get into the complex mechanics of the body.
I would recommend to get the Leaf Mamiya focus screen instead of fiddling around with masks. It has the proper lines in the glass that won´t slip around, get burned or whatever, not the cheapest way but worth the money in the end.Cheers, Ulf
@ Ryo,You can also draw your frame lines using a fine sharpie pen. This is what I used on larger Bill Maxwell focus screens. Do be careful to draw only on the smooth side and not at very edges. It can however be cleaned off using alcohol or sensor cleaner. Amazing even can clean off so along with some abrasion as swiping using a soft tissue or sensor swab, even from uneven surface on Mamiya 645 focus screen (!), yet do avoid trying it on the uneven surface or at very edges of focus screen!!!Whether attaching clear one on under side effects focus or not is a mystery, but why take the risk?Best regards,Anders
Check out my blog to see the review of Bill Maxwell Hi-Lux Brilliant Matte screen I have for my RZ67 Pro IID http://aryanaqajani.com/2012/05/bill-maxwell-hi-lux-brilliant-matte-screen-review/I have no more issue whatsoever to get the focus right in every situation ( I have not used my digi back on it yet however, I'd ask him to make another one specifically for my back when I get an adapter plate).
I wonder why Mamiya hasn't updated both viewfinders and screens for the RZ for working with digital backs.They should also make a stitch back for it... hell it is a 6x7
Wow, that's the only original / Maxwell comparison online that exists!I couldn't find any other than this blog post, and then someone on earlier messages, posted a link to it.And now the author shared it too.Crazy.What I was looking for some other samples, with more color and sharpness, this black and white photos with big grain don't feel any different, it might be just a camera angle against the glass.Some photos with a point and shoot in manual even, or someone with a DSLR that could set it on manual as well with normal color and no photoshoping.What back you have? I have the Leaf Aptus 22 and I love it.BTW its a M mount (made for any Mamiya 645) and I could use the RZ67ProIID adapter plate to mount it on the RZ67ProII.That plate is 800-900, and the other ones for V and H mount I think they go up to 1500.Anyway if you could update that blog post with some fresh photos would be awesome!=DI'll call Bill and see how much he wants for one.

Are you ready for April? I'm super excited about this month's block for the Machine Quilting Block Party! Here's a little sneak peek:
Click Here to check out the patterns (Block 4 goes on sale on April 1st).
Yep, we're tackling another Dresden Plate quilt block this month so you'll get more experience with piecing and applique! This time I stitched around the edges of the petals with a blanket stitch and I'll show you how to do it in our piecing video that comes out Monday.
Have you been enjoying the switch from piecing to applique each month? I'm enjoying teaching so many techniques this year so I hope you're having fun too!
Let's go quilt,

This is a study of the atonement, the meaning of the death of Jesus Christ. The book surveys historical views but also proposes that the atonement be seen as the death of Christ for both victims and the oppressed, as atonement for sinners and oppressors, as atonement for the whole creation including animals and nature. This triune atonement refers to the involvement of the Trinity in the atonement, here presented from an Asian American perspective.
"Provides a rich survey of the history of doctrines of atonement. It then proceeds to offer the most inclusive interpretation of the atonement that I have seen anywhere. The book can be read by theological neophytes, but it has much to offer to professional theologians as well."
– John B. Cobb Jr., Claremont School of Theology
"A necessary correction to familiar patterns of Christological construction."
– Susan L. Nelson, Claremont School of Theology
From Hurt to Healing: A Theology of the Wounded. Abingdon Press, 2004.
In his book, From Hurt to Healing: A Theology of the Wounded, Andrew Sung Park explores the subject of abusers and the abused and how Christian theology has approached these very different sets of personal situations with one vocabulary and one solution.
Traditionally, we have had only the language of sin to describe these very different human predicaments. We are right to speak of the sinner's need of forgiveness, but we have forgotten to take the next step: to seek healing for the victims. Having drawn the map of salvation for sinners, we have left it to those who have been sinned against to find their own way to wholeness and peace.
Park proposes that the Korean religious term han can serve as an instrument in this endeavor. While it is an intricate concept, in short han can be defined as the psychic and spiritual hurt caused by unjust oppression and suffering, and can be a powerful tool, allowing pastors and other caregivers to explore the depths of anguish that victims experience.
It can illustrate the fact that, having sinned against their victims as well as against God, the perpetrators of violence and abuse must seek salvation not only by asking for God's forgiveness, but also by working for the healing of those they have wronged.
The Other Side of Sin. Co-editor with Susan Nelson. State University of New York Press, 2001.
Offers a fresh perspective in Christian thought by looking at sin from the perspective of the sinned-against rather than that of the sinner needing forgiveness.
The Changing Face of God: God Who Needs Our Salvation (Video lecture. New York: Washington National Cathedral and Morehouse, 2000).
Videotaped at Washington National Cathedral.
"Does the face of God change? Years ago I would have said, 'No.' Countless hymns, passage of Scripture and confessions of faith assert or imply the changelessness of God. To take issue with traditions that are centuries, if not millennia old, seemed to be daunting and misguided…. But when the great professions of confidence in God harden into philosophical propositions, one is bound to ask: What difference would it make to say that God has only one face? Even if true in some sense, the fact of the matter is that features each of us would count as necessary and changeless would be a matter of considerable debate."
– From the Introduction.
In 1998 – 99 five scholars presented lectures at Washington National Cathedral about our images of God and what difference they make. This book, and its companion videos, will allow parish study groups and individuals to consider and discuss the viewpoints of Marcus Borg, Karen Armstrong, Jack Miles, James Cone, and Andrew Sung Park.
While the book and videos can be used independently of one another, in combination they make an excellent parish study resource. The material itself is designed in such as way that it can be covered in six or more group sessions, and study questions accompany each chapter.
Video titles: "The God of Imaginative Compassion" (Armstrong); "The God Who is Spirit" (Borg); "God is the Color of Suffering" (Cone); "A Complicated God" (Miles); and "The God Who Needs Our Salvation" (Park).
The Rev. Dr. Frederick W. Schmidt, Jr. is an Episcopal priest and the Director of Spiritual Life and Formation at the Perkins School of Theology, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas. From 1997 to 2000, he served in numerous capacities at Washington National Cathedral, including Canon Educator and Director of Programs in Spirituality. He is the author of more than sixty books and articles, including A Still Small Voice: Women, Ordination, and the Church.
Racial Conflict and Healing: An Asian-American Theological Perspective. Orbis Books, 1996.
Andrew was awarded a Gustavus Myers Award for an outstanding book on human rights in North America for this book.
A Korean theologian approaches the issue of racial conflict – including discrimination between minority communities – and constructs a "theology of seeing" that aims to heal the ruptures of racism. As ethnic tensions continue to simmer and occasionally erupt, immigration and affirmative action laws are hotly debated in legislatures and newspapers nationwide. Discrimination and oppression afflict every ethnic minority: African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Native Americans – even Asian-Americans (the so-called "model minority") struggle in the racially-charged atmosphere of contemporary America.
In the aftermath of the Los Angeles riots of 1992 and the ensuing violence against Korean-Americans, Andrew Sung Park seeks a theological model that will help transform a society of oppression, injustice, and violence into a community of equity, fairness, and mutual consideration. Park emphasizes that such a transformation does not and cannot begin only with good intentions, but must be grounded in an understanding of all the socio-economic and cultural issues that lead to oppression and tension. Using the Korean term han to describe the deep-seated suffering of racial oppression, he then suggests resources for understanding and healing in both Christian and Asian traditions.
Korean Family Devotions. Co-Author. Upper Room Books, 1994.
Written in Korean with an English translation, this devotional–based on the lectionary cycle–will help families and congregations celebrate their faith throughout the Christian year. In addition to inspiring meditations that explore such themes as love, vision, and forgiveness, the book includes suggested hymns and prayers.
The Wounded Heart of God: The Asian Concept of Han and the Christian Doctrine of Sin. Abingdon Press, 1993.
Traditional doctrines of sin and salvation center primarily on the moral agency of the sinner. Andrew Sung Park addresses the relational consequence of sin – the pervasive reality of victims' suffering and the scar from the sins of others who have wronged them.
He asserts that one cannot grasp the full meaning of the sin and guilt of sinners until one has looked at the concept han/shame of their victims. If reconciliation with God and with other humans is to take place, not only must one's sin be repented and one's guilt forgiven, but the han of those who have been wronged must be healed.
Personal Life
He is married to Jane (Chemist at Sinclair) and they have enjoyed studying alternative medicine and learning how to relate theology to science.

Fortunately this is a question I do not have to answer or face but how a person would arrive at their own decision to a question of this nature I do not know .When reading the far too many posts regarding our Cavaliers and that horrible curse of SM how do some of our unfortunate owners decide to go down the path of surgery rather than pain management by drugs .If anything should happen to any of my girls in the future I honestly don't think I could ever decide to put any of them through surgery and does it seem more of an option in the US rather than here, and what are the success ratios of improvement if one opts for this rather than control by drugs .Have many Cavaliers in the UK had surgery for SM and what has been the success rate or improvement in quality of life. ?
Sorry to have come up with a gloomy question like this it is rather unlike me as my attitude to most things is to decide and tackle as and when problems develop rather than worry over things that may never happen ,but when I read stories of people and dogs that have chosen surgery I often wonder why and how .

ROME (AP) — Italy saw its borrowing rate drop in an auction of six-month bonds in which it easily raised €8 billion ($10.3 billion).
The government paid an interest rate of 1.347 percent in the sale Monday, down from 1.503 percent last month. The demand was a healthy 1.52 percent times the amount on offer, up from 1.39 percent in September.
The government's need to borrow on bond markets has eased since it raised €18 billion — far exceeding expectations — in an auction earlier this month that targeted retail investors.
Italy's high level of public debt has worried global investors over the past few years. Those concerns have eased in recent weeks thanks to a new European plan to help indebted countries lower their borrowing costs and broad reforms by the government.

Amateur astronomers spotted a 2-second burst of light along the eastern limb of Jupiter. Now it's a wait-and-see watch to find out if the planet sports an impact scar at the site.
|Update, Sept. 12: It's been two days since a pair of amateur observers spotted a fireball in the atmosphere of Jupiter (described below). However, nothing has been observed where the object hit. Apparently the impactor was too small to penetrate deeply into the Jovian upper atmosphere. According to John Rogers, Jupiter Section Director for the British Astronomical Association, "Several observers have now gotten excellent images on the second and third rotations after the fireball, and there is nothing new nor distinctive at the impact site."
It's a good time to be viewing Jupiter. The King of Planets shines big and bright in the late-night sky — and that means lots of eyeballs and cameras are trained on it around the world each night from roughly midnight to dawn. All that scrutiny paid off early on the morning of September 10th, when two amateur astronomers captured a brief but dramatic flash in Jupiter's midsection near its eastern limb.The first report came from Dan Petersen of Racine, Wisconsin, who was watching before dawn with a 12-inch Meade LX200 telescope and a bino-viewer. Working at 400× he spotted a bright 2-second-long flare at 11:35:30 Universal Time September 10th along Jupiter's eastern limb, just inside the southern edge of the planet's dark North Equatorial Belt. He estimated the flare to be about 6th magnitude and located at +12° in latitude and 335° in System I longitude, though an analysis of Hall's image by S&T's Sean Walker yields values closer to +0.5° and 340°.
"I was thinking about imaging Jupiter this morning but decided to observe it instead," Petersen notes in a post to CloudyNights.com. "Had I been imaging I'm sure I would have missed it between adjusting webcam settings and focusing each avi
Petersen's report quickly reached the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers and the British Astronomical Association, and from there it went out to a network of professional observers. Everyone hoped for an image to confirm his sighting, and that came from George Hall of Dallas, Texas. Observing from his driveway — and also using a 12-inch Meade LX200 telescope — Hall had captured the flash in his CCD video camera. He has posted a 4-second-long clip of the impact video.
It's not yet clear whether the flare, likely from the impact of a small comet nucleus or asteroid, will leave behind a dark "powder burn" in the planet's upper atmosphere. Similar blasts in July 2009 and June 2010 left little for observers to watch afterward. Based on Hall's image, planetary astronomer Imke de Pater (University of California, Berkeley) believes the fireball was much like the one seen in 2010 — "extremely interesting, but most likely without any debris."But that doesn't mean you shouldn't look! Jupiter's midsection spins every 9 hours 50.5 minutes (referred to as the System I rotation period) — slightly faster than the rotation rates of regions well away from the equator (System II) or the planet's interior (System III). This would have put the impact's location roughly centered on the disk on September 10th at 23:00 UT, though Sky & Telescope has not received word of any confirmations during that window. It was centered again on September 11th around 9:02 UT (favoring North America) and again at 18:52 UT (eastern Europe and western Asia).
Further predicted times of the site's central-meridian crossings: (times and dates in Universal Time): Sept. 12, 4:43, 14:33; Sept. 13, 0:24, 10:14, 20:05; Sept. 14, 5:55, 15:46; Sept. 15, 1:36, 11:27. To get Eastern Daylight Time, subtract 4 hours from the UT time.
The impact site is closer to Jupiter's central meridian than to the limb for 50 minutes before and after these times. Jupiter rises around 11 p.m. local daylight-saving time (depending on your location), is well up by a couple hours later, and dawn becomes too bright around 6 a.m. daylight time (depending on your location).
This event marks the sixth time that we have seen something slam into Jupiter, beginning with a fireball recorded by Voyager 1 as it flew past in 1979 and the celebrated impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in 1994. "Even if this flash ends up being 'just a meteor'," Franck Marchis (SETI Institute) writes in his blog about the event, "it is remarkable that amateur astronomers are today capable of monitoring almost permanently the planet Jupiter."

Putin says if Snowden gets asylum, he has to stop leaking
MOSCOW (AP) — Russia's Vladimir Putin may not be embracing the idea of giving asylum to Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked details of two U.S. government surveillance programs.
He says if Snowden is going to get asylum in Russia, he'll have to stop leaking U.S. secrets -- but he believes Snowden has no intention of doing that.
According to Russia's Interfax news agency, Snowden did, in fact, request asylum, hours before Putin made his remarks. Putin didn't mention that, and his spokesman isn't saying what the response might be.
Snowden has been stuck in the transit zone of the Moscow airport since he arrived from Hong Kong more than a week ago. The U.S. has annulled his passport. Ecuador, where he had hoped to get asylum, has been coy about whether it would take him.
Putin today insisted that Snowden isn't a Russian agent, and that Russian security agencies haven't contacted him.
The newspaper Izvestia speculated today that Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who is attending a summit of gas exporting nations in Moscow, will take Snowden with him when he leaves. The paper cited a Kremlin source as saying Putin will discuss Snowden with Maduro during a meeting tomorrow.

Today, at the start of NAB 2012, Adobe is revealing Production Premium CS6. This forthcoming release will convince more editors to make the switch. If the unparalleled integration of the software (through Adobe Dynamic Link) and hardware (Mercury Playback Engine, with extended support for OpenGL and 3rd party I/O cards) won't convince you, the cool new features inside the individual programs surely will. Check it out.
Before you read on, I have to admit that I have been an Adobe fan ever since they took over Syntrillium's Cool Edit Pro (anyone remember that?). Just to make things clear: other than getting heads up on new developments, neither this site nor I am getting paid to endorse Adobe. As a member of the Adobe Influencer/Pre-Release program, I had to keep my lips tightly sealed for the past few months, but today the NDA-embargo has been lifted: Adobe is revealing Production Premium CS6.
A few weeks ago, the editing team of Conan O'Brien already made the infamous #JohnAdobe video that featured their endorsement of Adobe, introduced the Freddie Mercury Playback Engine and showed the new Premiere Pro CS6 interface, 6 months after they publicly trashed Apple's FCP X in an item on Conan. If you haven't seen it yet, here's your chance:
Adobe Production Premium CS6
Let's quickly review the key innovations in the suite, in order of a typical production workflow:
- Adobe PreLude
- Adobe Audition
- Adobe Premiere Pro
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe After Effects
- Adobe Speedgrade
Adobe PreLude
This program replaces Adobe OnLocation, which is no longer available in CS6. In the past, I used this program to add metadata to my DSLR clips, up until the point that Adobe released version 5.1, which halted playback on these types of clips, somewhat to my chagrin. Adobe's response to my bug complaint was that OnLocation was meant for live recording ("on location") and tape-based ingestion. So I was kinda forced to do my media copying, organisation, shot selection (spotting) and rough cutting in Adobe Bridge and Premiere Pro – far from ideal.
Today, Adobe makes up for this with PreLude, an easy to use program that allow for quick and easy ingestion and logging of file based formats (i.e. tapeless).
Effectively, this program allows you to do your homework before you start editing.
Staying safe and organised is key, especially when you are on a multiple camera, multiple card shoot. The last thing you want, is to find out in post that your data got lost (no back-up or overwritten a card) or all mixed up (which can easily happen, especially when importing-exporting XMLs between NLEs). Adobe Prelude does just this – and more.
Upon ingest of your source material from your media card you can immediately designate any number of drives attached to your system to write (and back-up) your media to. I typically copy things to two HDDs (one RAID-5 and one external) before erasing my media card. Better be safe than sorry.
PreLude also is a fast tool for adding comments and simple rough cutting. No effects or transitions, just straight cutting, based on in/out points set to individual clips. Ideal for directors and producers who want to review dailies on a laptop while travelling or in a hotel room. To each clip you can add comments (e.g. "good performance by actor X") which can be called up by the editor in Premiere Pro. Once done, the program features an export option that will only include the source material needed for the editor (like the Project Manager feature works in Premiere Pro). If PreLude is run on a system with all of the programs, you can directly send a rough cut to Premiere Pro for further editing.
One thing that is not clear, is if PreLude will be made available as a stand-alone application as well, so that a director or assistant does not need the full suite on his/her laptop.
Adobe Audition
Instead of going directly to Premiere Pro from PreLude, I tend to first set up my audio mix. Perhaps because I have a background in audio mixing, I put a lot of effort into the audio and then edit the video to the music, instead of the other way around. If you accept that 50% of a video production is actually the audio, I am convinced you can see and feel it (and my clients agree).
Ok, enough self-promotion. Back to Audition. With CS5.5, I was thrilled to see the program being revived after Adobe had initially gone astray with SoundBooth in CS4. I continued to use Audition 3 as a stand-alone program, while development of Audition stalled for several years, as engineers were trying to make SoundBooth work. Much to my rejoice, Adobe reverted that decision and returned from the woods. However, the decision to bring Audition back to life came a little too soon for the release of CS5.5 and some major features did not make the list.
For me, by far, the most important missing feature was the inability to group multiple clips in CS5.5. It may appear to be a trivial thing, but it's not. Trust me. Especially if you're working on a beat-sensitive mix, you *need* the cuts to stay where they are (in a group), whilst being able to move groups of clips freely around on the timeline. Well, with Audition CS6, Group Clips is back — and more powerful than ever before. For one, you can suspend individual clips from a group. Thank you, Adobe.
Adobe Premiere Pro
This has been my NLE of choice ever since CS4. Although I initially had to convert my DSLR footage to make it editable in Premiere, I have not had to do this since CS5. With CS5.5, Adobe introduced the Warp Stabilizer, which required round tripping to After Effects. In CS6, the Warp Stabilizer is now an integrated effect, that still allows you to continue working, as it does its magic in the background.
For those who are still lingering on in 32-bit land, hanging on to the uncluttered interface of Apple's FCP, Premiere Pro CS6 now features a nice and clean interface that allows for maximum viewing of media and hiding of unnecessary buttons. The thumbnails of your assets are no longer as big as a thumbnail and you can quickly scrub through them using Hover Scrub. Move your mouse (or Wacom pen) across the clips in the media bin and you're scrubbing.
What's more, Adobe has decided to adhere to a new mantra of never stopping playback, which Premiere Pro used to do a lot. This allows you to stay more in the flow of editing. As editing is a creative process, you don't want to be interrupted when on a roll. Unfortunately, you still have to hit CTRL/CMD+S to save your edit as you go along. Now if only Adobe would implement a true silent background save (like Avid does) you can safely go on a road trip to editing heaven (and stay there). Gotta have something to wish for, I guess…
Creating edits where you change the position of the audio relative to the video track was somewhat burdensome. You had to single out either the video or the audio track with the Alt-key, or even unlink them altogether. Not anymore in Premiere Pro CS6, because it features trimming on steroids. You can now easily adjust the audio relative to the video, or select multiple clip heads/tails and move them jointly.
Another key new feature in Premiere Pro CS6 is the ability to add Adjustment Layers to your footage, for easy application a color grade. Much like After Effects and Photoshop, Adjustment Layers affect all of the layers below it. However, since Premiere Pro is a time-based system, as opposed to a layer based program such as After Effects, you can easily place multiple Adjustment Layers *behind* each other, instead of only on top of each other (as in AE). This is handy if you want to do a primary grade to footage from several cameras (to match them) and then add another overall layer for a more creative, secondary grade.
Please also check the Premiere Pro blog for a more detailed look on what's new.
Adobe Photoshop
Photoshop is the default stills editing application that has been included inside the Production Premium suite for quite some time. The new CS6 version features more image magic with a selectable Content Aware Fill, among other things. Although I don't know why, you can even edit video inside Photoshop CS6 now. However, the fact that you're getting this de facto standard image manipulator as part of Production Premium makes it all the more valuable.
Adobe After Effects
Although the learning curve may be somewhat steep in the beginning, once you get your head around it, After Effects is a workhorse when it comes to doing creative stuff, varying from title animations to color grading and elaborate VFX work. For example, instead of resizing/transcoding my timelapse footage from my DSLRs before editing (as some used to do), I dump the RAW image sequences straight into AE and happily tweak it.
Although the layer-based system engine allows for more powerful rendering than a time-based one, it frequently happened that AE had to re-render, even with minor changes in specific layers. Not anymore with CS6, which now features Global Performance Cache. Effectively, this allows you to work faster, because AE 'remembers' previous states and does not require you to rerender all the time.
Another feature inside After Effects is the ability to repair rolling shutter with a new effect called, ta-daa, Rolling Shutter Repair. Quite common with DSLR cameras, rolling shutter is the effect of skewed portions of an image due to the way the CMOS sensor works.
Finally, we no longer have to do round tripping between PhotoShop and/or Illustrator to extrude text, because it is now possible in AE CS6. As is a built-in 3D camera tracker and conversion of Illustrator vector graphics to shape layers.
For a more elaborate list of changes, please see Todd Kopriva's overview here.
Adobe Speedgrade
In September 2011, Adobe announced the takeover of Iridias, maker of SpeedGrade, a color grading package that stood out from the crowd due to its use of CUDA-like hardware accelleration. Wait, CUDA!? That's right, the same technology that drives the Mercury Playback Engine. This is why integration of SpeedGrade with other Adobe applications was only logical. Once a package that sold for a price tag of thousands of dollars, it is now part of the Creative Suite.
Although I still have to start playing with SpeedGrade (I like and use Red Giant's Magic Bullet Suite), it certainly looks like a professional grade application, right up the alley with Davinci Resolve and Assimilate Scratch. Professional graders may tend to disagree and prefer a node-based system, but I firmly believe that, over time, SpeedGrade will evolve and be used by the pros, in the same way that editors are now making the switch to Adobe. Let's hope that professional grader hardware tools from Tangent Devices will continue to support this application. Maybe one day I will upgrade my edit suite with such hardware. But first I need to study the field of color grading more.
From Creative Suite to Creative Cloud
So there you have it, all the tools needed for fast and creative video production tightly integrated in a single suite. What's also new to CS6, is that Adobe will be offering it in a subscription-based membership model, called the Creative Cloud. While traditional licenses of CS software will still be offered and the software will not require a continuous internet connection (i.e. the software runs locally, not in the cloud), a membership to Creative Cloud provides more benefits than simply owning desktop software, such as cloud based services/extensions (e.g. iPad Touch Apps, web-based storage) and instant upgrades without additional costs. More details will follow soon.
What do you think of CS6? Are you making the switch? Please feel free to comment below.

i know it's been often discussed, but this article is worth the read. Atheists lose their faith in a variety of ways. 20+ years ago the path to enlightenment was, well, darker. thoughtful and nimble minds were only able to swallow religious mantra for so long before vomiting it back up. but much of that ability depended on just how religious your parents were. should you have found yourself in a fundy household, it's likely that the pressure and indoctrination you experienced were just too much to break away from. resources were limited. like-minded people were too scarce. information was too elusive.
no longer. the internet has aided and abetted countless freethinkers to break free. and it's only going to get better. i'm so very pleased that many more people are able to leave their dusty old religions behind. thank you, internet.

"the concept of God is a derivative of religion, and without it, then there could be no atheism."
Atheism is refuting the existence of god. Nothing more or less. A sense of being, working, belonging, thinking, and sense of wonder does not require religion. It requires thought. A cave family in the Stone Age thought about survival, just as any sentient creature does. From those thoughts rose stories, myths, fables, and beliefs that later evolved from speaking to written accounts. Thinking preceded religion. Religion served as the curricula for surviving threats, real and imagined.
Many times throughout human history, there have been those who refuted the existence of god and they were burned, stoned, drowned, beheaded, and other such atrocities that kept people in line. No amount of punishment and pain can stop thinking. Curiosity brought us out of the Stone Age through other developmental stages into the 21st century and quantum physics and all the other sciences that do not seek to hold on to old understanding, but seek to find errors in thinking and make changes as new knowledge becomes available.
Atheism is not a reactionary position to theism, it is participation in natural forces that keep the Earth moving around the sun, the sun in the Milky Way, the Milky Way in the ever expanding universe.
Theism is too small to take in all the newly available knowledge.
Heretics burned at the stake all for Heresy against the church.

Well said. I don't know why it has to be about Abrahamic God. I am not only a-theistic...I am a-anything-that's imaginary-being-treated-as-if-it's-real, including Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I am not so inclined to agree.
While the Internet allows those of secular bent to get together and pass ideas, we are the minority. It also allows those of religious bent to do the same.
Moreover, just as in the real world, the secular on the Internet tend to huddle together in their private areas (such as this) and propound their cases, having little effect on the outside.
I would note that Answers in Genesis has far more viewers than either Atheist Nexus or Atheist Forums. Religions do not come here to die (though Thunderf00t's video is cute). They don't come here at all.
Atheist Forums allows apologists to join, with the idea that if they propound a religious case they will be challenged. As long as the propounding of religion remains civil, they may stay. Few do. They are uninterested in dialogue, and they certainly aren't dying.
Aside from the Internet, how many atheist or secular radio and TV stations can you name? If you guessed none, you'd be right. Now consider the Christian ones.
The FCC recently opened up the lower segment of the FM band for community broadcasting. The requirements are a transmitter less than a hundred watts and a broadcast plan. The only licences they have issued are to Christian churches and organisations. No other community broadcaster can get a licence.
The same goes for shortwave broadcasts to the rest of the world. Since WRNO (the only commercial shortwave station in the USA) lost its tower to Hurricane Katrina, the only broadcasters to the world are Voice of America, Armed Forces Radio, and a plethora of religious broadcasters. No commercial licence since WRNO's has been approved, and they cannot get approval from the FCC for a new tower permit.
Religions do not come here to die. There is an explosion of religion on the Internet (such as YouTube) like never in the history of mankind. Atheists are a vanishingly small minority.
James, i think you're missing the point. sure, Christians have more websites, members, tv programs, and radio shows. they have more people, so of course they have advantages in those arenas. however, for those less inclined to believe, they now have options that didn't exist decades ago to help them through their journey to Atheism. and that is the point. information used to be difficult to come by. when i was a teenage Atheist fledgling, if i wanted to learn more my option (yes, singular) was to go to the library and use the dewey decimal system and pour over the card catalog to find books on the subject, and it wasn't exactly as easy as pulling up Google. then you had to read through hundreds of pages of philosophy to extract a small nut of Atheistic verification. times have changed, and for the better.
James Kz, I agree with everything you say ... "except Atheists are a vanishingly small minority."
I noticed several things:
1. My christian family and friends used to come to me with descriptions of how I would burn in hell and now they ask me questions. When they disagree with my answers I give as strong a response as is necessary to get them off that particular question. My impression is they leave my company determined never to ask me a question again, and they can't be with me past "Hello" before some foolish soul asks me a question and I respond as powerfully as necessary. Wash, rinse, repeat.
2. Some family and friends remain with me in spite of or because of my responses. Many Block me on Facebook and for that I am grateful.
3. Some bring me more evidence why faith in an unknowable, unseeable, nonresponding god is a delusion and we have some delightful discussions.
4. I am trying to get my attention away from religion and toward celebration of atheism. Not doing too well.
You can't pick your family, but IMHO, they're not your friends if they badger you about religion and block you on Facebook.
If you want to feel good about atheism, (a) put some space between yourself and religious people; hang wirth atheists, real and virtual (I found a great group via meetup.com); (b) spend a little time on the net watching people wasting their lives in prayer and ritual or interpreting the Bible (you're FREE of that); Google "Jewish dietary laws" to see what crap they have to put up with; re-acquaint yourself with "religious atrocities of the last 1500 years."
Thumbs up! Without the internet, I would have never found out about last year's Reason Rally which I attended (as I see you did, too). It's just nice to discover other secularists (etc.).
I was there too. All day long, wet and cold and there isn't another place on earth I would rather have been at.
you're right, without the internet i never would have heard of the RR. and it was one of the most memorable days of my entire life.
Good point, Randall.
I was also there... here are my pictures and impressions:

Martinez ready for Royals rumble
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez is wary of underestimating Reading as he prepares his injury-ravaged side for Saturday's Barclays Premier League match at the DW Stadium.
The Latics could be without seven first-team players, with Ben Watson's broken leg and captain Gary Caldwell's hamstring problem the latest worries for the Spaniard. Midfielder James McArthur, winger Albert Crusat and centre-back Antolin Alcaraz also look set to miss out, although strikers Franco Di Santo and Ryo Miyaichi could recover from their respective calf and ankle problems and will undergo late fitness tests.
Reading finally earned their first Premier League win of the season against Everton last weekend and sit one place below Wigan in 17th. Martinez, keen to end his side's two-game losing streak, knows Wigan need to recapture their form while keeping the Royals' confidence in check.
"It will be a big mistake to expect that you can play against Reading and get a positive result," Martinez said.
"For the way they play and the quality they have, their biggest strength is their confidence and the winning mentality they had last season in the Championship.
"Their work ethic is incredible and although last week was their first win of the campaign, believe me when I say that they've come very close to three points long before that game.
"Their performances have been better than the results they have had. You get to know very quickly in this league that every game will present you with a different challenge and every game is very difficult for its own reasons.
"I'm sure Reading will look at this as a great opportunity to come to Wigan and get a result, but we're playing at home and we had two negative results and we really need to get back to that level we showed in that period with our victory at Spurs and West Ham."
Reading's players were never worried that manager Brian McDermott would be sacked by owner Anton Zingarevich, according to winger Hal Robson-Kanu.
The Russian owner had been reported as saying he was looking at replacing McDermott with PSV coach Dick Advocaat and giving the former Zenit boss hefty financial backing in the January transfer window.
But the 30-year-old Zingarevich said last week McDermott's job is safe and the claims he was looking to sign up to 10 players in the new year were also false.
Wales international Robson-Kanu reckons the owner has been a pleasure to have around the club and never expected that he would dismiss McDermott after the 51-year-old led the Royals back to the Barclays Premier League.
"The owner gives full backing to the manager and that goes without saying," he said.
"As players we always knew that, it wasn't a surprise to us. The support that everyone has shown throughout the club has been consistent and it will continue to be like that.
"He is about the changing rooms after games and sometimes prior to games and obviously he wants us to do well, it is his club and we want to do well for him, it is a nice bond and it is special and long may it continue."
McDermott could welcome Jimmy Kebe back into his squad.
Kebe missed last weekend's win over Everton with a groin problem but has returned to training and is in contention for the match at the DW Stadium.
McDermott has also welcomed goalkeeper Alex McCarthy back to training, along with midfielders Danny Guthrie and Jem Karacan, although Saturday's game will be too early for any of them to return.

PC firmware, a murky world of interwoven software code that dates back to the original IBM PC and its clones, is about to be modernized. In a move that experts say promises to lead to fewer headaches for IT staff by creating more stable and manageable desktops and notebooks, the PC industry has begun transitioning to the United Extensible Firmware Interface. Dubbed UEFI, the interface offers a standardized way for a PC's firmware, the underlying software that controls its hardware, to interact with the operating system. The new interface offers a standard method for loading an operating system, as well as running pre-boot applications.
