Amazing Generators today revealed that Honda Power Equipment is dialing up its efforts to prevent the company from selling genuine Honda electric generators at cost price to the stricken nation of Puerto Rico – with a cease and desist letter. Amazing Generators has condemned the multinational corporation for its latest move, deeming it a profit-motivated "David versus Goliath" action.
The news comes just days before the 2018 hurricane season starts on June 1. Puerto Rico's power grid is still mostly crippled, with doubts as to whether it can withstand even a minor storm: The island is "not ready for a new hurricane season," Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority has said.
Amazing Generators was one of the first US companies to donate free electric generators to Puerto Rico, helping hospitals, churches, and community centers to keep the lights on in an aid program led by the Boston Federal Reserve Bank.
Amazing Generators continues to sell Puerto Ricans the Honda EU7000iS portable inverter at discount rates. In contrast, Honda's local Puerto Rican dealers continue to retail the same generator for inflated prices. Despite the significant markup from these dealers in troubled times, Honda generators remain a favorite brand on the island.
Having chosen to help Puerto Ricans recover from the devastation left in 2017, Amazing Generators now faces the prospect of an expensive legal battle with the global corporation.
On May 11, the Amazing Generators Founder and CEO received a cease and desist letter sent by Cody Zumwalt Winchester, a partner at Philips Ryther & Winchester, on behalf of Honda Power Equipment.
"They are trying to shut us out over our prices by drowning us in legal fees. This is, essentially, a 'David versus Goliath' situation: We are being prevented from helping the people of Puerto Rico for the sake of corporate greed – namely, putting profit before lives," said Sima Nimer, spokeswoman for Amazing Generators.
"We intend to fight this lawsuit because we believe that saving people's lives should always be more important than greed. Those are our core values – and we intend to stick with them."
The cease and desist marks a new low in the relationship between Honda Power Equipment and Amazing Generators. Having already declined repeated requests from Amazing Generators to become an authorized dealer, the letter threatens legal action over Amazing Generator's copyright infringement of the corporation's trademarked logo, images, videos, and marketing materials.
Amazing Generators insists that it has never given any impression to its customers that it represents Honda in an official capacity. Instead, the company has come up with creative methods to deliver the much-needed Honda electric generators to Puerto Ricans at their hour of need, leveraging third party services away from the corporation's watchful eye.
Amazing Generators' CEO went on to reveal that the company has supporters across the United States who are willing to support them in their mission – including distributing Honda products.
The island, now bracing itself for the 2018 hurricane season, is still recovering from the devastation of 2017. Over 20,000 residents still lack power as federal aid continues to flounder. As the storm clouds gather above San Juan, Amazing Generators is preparing itself for a storm of its own – but with the help of supporters, it remains optimistic that this is one battle that will see Goliath lose, again.
"We never thought that greed and the pursuit of big profits would extend to those who can hardly afford food, let alone power," said Sima Nimer. "We're not going to stop in what we feel is our duty of giving light – and hope – to our brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico. We want the island to light up with Honda generators in 2018, no matter what!"

Facebook murder suspect held on no bond, now on suicide watch
Derek Medina allegedly posts confession to Facebook after killing his wife murder
MIAMI – Derek Medina, the 31-year-old who police say killed his wife then posted an apparent confession and picture of her body on Facebook, is now on suicide watch after a judge denied him bond.
A judge ordered Medina, who is charged with first-degree murder, be held on no bond. During his court appearance, he wore a vest that prevents him from harming himself.
Medina said little during his appearance besides answering the judge's and public defender's questions. His next court appearance is Aug. 30. He is now being held in jail and on suicide watch.
Read: Families confused, heartbroken over alleged murder
Watch: Medina's bond court appearance
Medina drove to the South Miami Police Department and told officers he had killed his wife, police said. According to investigators, there were no 911 calls made.
Officers then went to 5555 SW 56th Street, where they found the body of 26-year-old Jennifer Alfonso body inside a townhouse kitchen with multiple gunshot wounds.
Officials say Medina, 31, claimed him and Alfonso were in a fight when he went upstairs to his bedroom and got a gun. Medina said he pointed the gun at Alfonso and she left the room.
Medina claimed that minutes later, Alfonso returned to the bedroom to tell him that she was leaving him. Medina said that's when he followed her without the gun and she began punching him.
According to the arrest affidavit, Medina said he went back to the room to rearm himself with the gun, and returned to the kitchen where Alfonso was armed with a knife. He said he got the knife from her, she began punching him again, and that's when he shot her. victim.
Medina's Facebook posts
Medina posted a picture of a body and an apparent confession to his Facebook page (pictured below) about noon Thursday. Neighbors identified pictures of him as the man who lived in the townhouse.
The photo showed a woman wearing black leotards with her knees bent backwards. Blood covered her left cheek and arm. Medina tagged the photo as Alfonso and captioned it "RIP."
"What sick person goes and writes a status about it and says it's something they have to do?" said Daysi Fernandez, Alfonso's best friend. "He killed her and he posted it."
Miami-Dade police say Medina made both posts, which had hundreds of shares by Thursday afternoon. His Facebook page was removed about five hours after the shooting.
Several community organization pages named Derek Medina appeared on Facebook on Friday afternoon, including one with more than 1,000 likes. Some posted his mug shot while others mentioned his self-published self-help books. The pages asked that friends share them to spread spousal abuse awareness.
Friends: Couple had troubled relationship
Alfonso's friends said the couple had a troubled relationship, but stopped short of saying it was violent. Records show Medina and Alfonso married, divorced, then remarried about three months ago.
Neighbors said officers brought a girl covered in a blanket out of the townhouse. Friends said she was Alfonso's daughter from a previous marriage.
"When they came here, they rushed inside the house and we didn't know nothing was going on and then they carried a little girl out to the car and they were asking her questions," said Oliver Thomas.
Local 10 was told Alfonso's daughter is staying with her father.
Neighbors added that the man acted like the neighborhood watch captain in the community and carried a concealed weapon. They painted a picture of a paranoid man who kept his windows covered and had surveillance cameras pointed at his front door.
"The guy was kind of sketchy, you know, walking around with a gun," said Yoshi Dade. "It's kind of scary. You never know."
"The windows are not even open. There are cameras all over the place," added Paula Traviño. "He's just into himself. His wife just came in and out. That's all I saw."
Medina's paranoia went beyond his home. The 31-year-old wrote a series of e-books with long titles that dealt with relationships and his experience with aliens.

The Ultimate Warrior (legal name: "Warrior") is pissed at Hulk Hogan for something or other. That includes a handful of YouTube videos, recorded on his desktop camera in his den like so many American teenagers. I'm not sure exactly what he's mad about, because I'll be damned if I'm going to watch a 7 minute "preview" of an upcoming rant. Maybe I'll crowdsource this like the Sarah Palin emails.
What's Warrior got on Hogan? Tales of cocaine use! Open marriages! Hair extensions! And other assorted craziness.
Warrior claims the full video will drop on June 17, but we're not eagerly awaiting it. It'll be 100 times more boring and more nonsensical than their WWF feud. And roughly equal in both aspects to their WCW feud.
Thanks for your continued support of Deadspin. Dickey all weekend.

Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Can I use a voucher after it has expired?
Voucher redemption is at the discretion of the business providing the service or product. Most businesses tend to enforce the validity terms of the voucher and often are not able to extend past the validity date. We always prefer if our members can use their voucher at any time, but unfortunately, redemption after expiry is purely at the discretion of the business.
Please note, many businesses book out prior to the voucher expiry - we suggest making a booking at least four weeks prior to the end of the validity period (and if you're trying to get a booking for a popular time, like a weekend, the booking should be made as soon as possible. The earlier you book, the more likely it is that you will get your preferred booking time!)
It is very rare for Ouffer to issue a refund in cases where the voucher has expired. Most offers have a redemption period of at least 3 months, which is usually plenty of time for all purchasers to use their voucher. In any case - the expiry date of each offer is clearly stated in the "Fine Print" section of the offer page, and it is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that they have availed of the offer before this date!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How can I resolve an issue with a past/present offer?
Please note that Ouffer is the medium through which businesses feature their services, and cannot be held responsible for the services provided by such businesses. If you have a complaint about a featured business or the service that they have provided, the first step should be to contact the business directly. They may be able to take steps to resolve the situation, which will usually be similar to steps taken when dealing with any customer complaint.
You will be able to find contact details for the featured business on the offer-page. Other conditions (such as the expiry date) can be found in the "Company" section of the offer-page.
Alternatively, you can ask the Ouffer Customer Experience Team and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Please note, it is really important whenever making a refund request to provide very detailed and accurate information - if any information provided is false, we will not be able to provide a refund to you.
We always provide a credit or refund when a business is no longer operating and you have a valid voucher. You can find our Refund Policy at http://experiences.ouffer.com/refund-policy-adma for further information.
If you would like a refund for any other reason, please let us know via email to email@example.com. Our support team will always do their best to assist.

+How can I resolve an issue with a product I purchased?
If you've purchased a product that you redeemed directly with a vendor, the first step is to try to contact them - their details should be on the voucher.
If you the vendor isn't getting back to you, or if you've purchased a product that was shipped directly to you without the need to redeem your voucher, please let us know exactly what the difficulties you have are by email to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll do our best to help!
We are only able to offer refunds in cases where items are faulty, damaged or incorrectly advertised.

+How can I unsubscribe from receiving your emails?
If you would like to unsubscribe from receiving emails from Ouffer in future, please go to My Account and then click on My Subscriptions.
On that page you can choose exactly what emails you want (you can even choose to receive an email once a week, instead of every day) or you can unsubscribe from all our emails in just a few quick clicks!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How do I buy an offer?
Firstly, make sure you are signed up!
Then, after logging in - click 'Buy Now' towards the top-right of the offer page. On the next page, you will be asked to confirm the quantity of vouchers that you wish to purchase (if you're using credits to purchase, this is where you can select how much credit you want to use).
If you're buying a product, you may also be required to provide your Postal Address, or your choice of redemption location. Always make sure you enter the correct address for delivery.
Once you've done all that, you can then go ahead and click "Complete My Order" towards the bottom of the page. The number of credits selected (if any) will be deducted from the cost of the voucher, and the corresponding number of credits removed from your account.
Follow the on-screen instructions from here - you can pay via a registered PayPal account, or using your credit/debit card.
As always, if you you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+How do I locate my voucher?
After you buy a voucher, you'll get an email with a link to download (and print) your voucher. Unfortunately, some mail servers automatically transfer our emails to your 'junk' mail box.
(If you haven't been getting our emails, it's also a good idea to make sure that you added us as a 'safe sender' to make sure our emails aren't going to your junk box!)
But, you can also actually log into your account and print the vouchers off whenever you like! Here's how:
- Sign into the site,
- Hover over "My Account" at the top-middle of the screen.
- Choose "My Ouffers" from the drop-down menu.
- Choose "All" towards the top-right corner of the screen.
- Click "View/Print" next to the voucher you need to view/print.
Instructions on how to redeem the voucher will be contained on the voucher itself.
Things to keep in mind:
Lots of our members have more than one email address – if you log into your account and you can't find your voucher, you may have used a different email address to purchase – for example your work email or your personal email address. Try all the email addresses you have and if you still can't find it, let us know.
If you used PayPal to purchase, what happens is that a new account will be created using your PayPal email address. If your login email for PayPal and Ouffer are the same then there won't be any problems, but if you use a different address for PayPal, a new Ouffer account with that PayPal email will be created. Your voucher will be placed in that account.
If you purchased a voucher and it isn't showing up, the next step is to check your credit card statement (on-line if you have access!). If there is a charge there, please send an email right away to Ouffer so the team can investigate it for you. Please include as much detail as possible to help us assist you as quick as we can.

+How do I refer a friend?
In order to refer a friend to Ouffer, you just need to…
First log in to Ouffer! After logging in, in the top corner of the page, there is a link which says "Invite Friends, get $5". You will then be taken to a page that provides personal "referral link". You can copy and paste this link into an email to all of your family and friends (or even use the Facebook and Twitter sharing buttons). If any of your friends sign up to Ouffer, we'll give you $5 credit as soon as they make their first purchase.
If you have any questions about referring friends, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

+I've booked my travel dates with the hotel - am I able to change them?
Most of our hotel partners allow one change of date, however, that will depend on the hotel's cancellation policy (and how far away your booking is). If your booking is for tomorrow, it is unlikely you will be able to change your travel date, however, if your booking is six months away, most hotels will accommodate a change of date. Some hotels may charge a small administrative fee for any chances (at their own discretion).
We're more than happy to assist where we can, but any date requests need to be made with the hotel directly.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I bought a gift voucher, how do I find it?
At the end of the offer, we will send a link to download the gift voucher – exactly like a normal voucher. You can send the voucher as a PDF to the lucky recipient, or you can print it off and combine I with a card if you prefer!
To find your gift vouchers you just need to log on to Ouffer and then click on the "My Account" link, which appears once you have signed in, and select My Ouffers.
Once you've logged in you will notice several tabs, 'Active', 'Used', 'Offered', 'Expired' and 'All' If you click on Offered you'll be able to see any gift vouchers you've bought!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I bought an offer - what do I do now?
You will find instructions on how to redeem the offer on the voucher itself. Depending on the offer you've purchased, you may need to contact the featured business to make a booking - contact details will be provided on the voucher. You may also find them in the "Fine Print" or "Company" section on the offer page, along with any other conditions relevant to that particular offer.
Your redemption code is the code printed at the top of your voucher - in almost all cases, you will need to give this code when redeeming the offer you have purchased - this is so that our partners can verify that the voucher is valid and provide you with the service advertised.
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+I can't use my voucher any more - can I give it to someone else?
Yes, your vouchers should be fully transferable (unless the terms of a specific offer state otherwise). So long as you haven't used part of your voucher, you can give it to a friend or family member. If you've had part of a treatment or service, you aren't able to give the voucher away though.
If a voucher has expired, it unfortunately can't be used by anyone.
Whenever you buy a voucher which needs a booking, always be sure to book well in advance of the expiry - the earlier the better. Just to make sure no one misses out, most vouchers will need to be booked between two and four weeks before their expiry.

+Is Ouffer a secure site?
Ouffer is fully secured by Verisign, the highest level of security a website can have. All financial details are passed directly on to our merchant processor, so not even our staff have access to any credit card details.

+My Password isn't working - What can I do?
If your password doesn't work, you can get a new one by clicking on the "Forgot Password" link underneath the login box.
You should get an automated email sent to you – if that doesn't work, it probably means your email account may be blocking our emails! First thing to do is to check your junk mail box and there should be an email in there. If there is, please add us as a safe sender.
If you can't find an email from us, just send us a quick email to firstname.lastname@example.com and our team will be able to help out and create a new password for you!

+What does the 'Mark as Used' Button do?
The 'Mark as Used' button allows you to move your used vouchers to the Used section. That way, you can check exactly what vouchers have yet to be used.
It's pretty handy when you've bought a few vouchers for one place but don't use them all at once. You can check your used vouchers by clicking on USED Vouchers and also, if you click Mark as Used by mistake, you can bring the voucher back by clicking on Mark as New – good as new!
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+What is credit, and how do I use it?
If you are using credits for your entire purchase, you won't need to enter any credit card details - you can just ignore the box.
If you are using credit for part of the purchase, you will need to use a credit card to 'top up' the purchase. For example, if you have $15 credit stored up, and you are buying something that costs $100, you would just need to pay the $85 top-up amount from your credit card or PayPal account.
Your credits will expire 365 days after they have been granted, although this doesn't apply to specific promotions which state otherwise.
Your credit is personal to you, so you can't give it away - but you can buy a voucher for someone as a gift using your credit.
If you look at your bank statement right after a purchase, you may notice more than one charge on there (usually, there will be the full amount and the amount less the credit on your statement).
That is an unfortunate requirement of the banks – we haven't really charged you twice! The charge you noticed for the full amount is what banks call a 'pre-authorisation'. Ouffer doesn't actually charge anything until after the deal closes – the pre-authorisation is just a hold on those funds.
When our system goes to charge you, it will see that you are using credit and will adjust the cost accordingly. The original 'pre-authorisation' will 'drop off' within one to five business days (depending on which bank you're with).
Not found what you are looking for? Submit an enquiry
+Why have I been charged twice?
If there are two charges on your statement, it is most likely that the first is a 'pre-authorisation', rather than an actual charge. The 'pre-authorisation' will be removed by your bank between one to five business days (depending on which bank you use for your credit card).
If you noticed that you actually bought more vouchers than you intended, please contact us at email@example.com immediately. So long as Ouffer is told promptly, we can usually credit or refund the mistakenly bought vouchers (but that will depend on how quickly we've been notified and if any bank or administration fees have been incurred).

Calls for gas stations to have generators
A second elected official from northeast Queens is now calling for local gas stations to have back-up generators to allow for the operation of fuel pumps during power outages.
Earlier this month, state Assemblyman David Weprin, D-Little Neck, introduced legislation that would force gas station owners to have back-up power sources in the case of a storm.
Under his bill, the generators would need to be available for use no later than 24 hours after a disaster and gas stations would have to get a transfer switch installed by a professional electrical contractor.
Councilman Dan Halloran, R-Whitestone, has now filed a legislative service request for the law on Nov. 13 in the wake of Hurricane Sandy's visit to the city. Residents in Halloran's district have been forced to wait in long lines for gas.
"After seeing the effects of power outages at gas stations throughout the city, it seems a no-brainer," he said. "The stations that had power in the early aftermath of the storm quickly ran out of gas, while the stations that had gas had no electricity to pump it."
He said forcing gas station owners to install a generator would help to prevent the type of gas shortages through which city residents have suffered in recent weeks.
10 comments:
Great, so all stations will have power and no gas because of distribution problems. And we will all pay more for gas as a result.
Stupid, stupid, stupid.
- Thursday, November 22, 2012
And each gas station should also have a shrine to Theod.
- Thursday, November 22, 2012
Since I will now be in Councilman Peter Koo's district I can speak openly of my disappointment in my (soon to be) former representative.
Councilman Dan Halloran has a strange sense of loyalty to his constituents.
First he betrays Whitestone by supporting the excessive expansion plans of the White House Restaurant, but now he shows concern by filing this legislative service request.
That gas bag could supply Queens' needs for a month.
- Thursday, November 22, 2012
If the redistricting maps wind up getting redrawn, to put me back in Halloran's district, I still stand by my opinion of of him.
It would be an honor to be on this blowhard's s--t list.
So there, now I've said it all!

Why not wind mills ?
- Thursday, November 22, 2012
Queens Borough hall is the best damned "wind mill" in the five boroughs! Just harness all that power!
- Friday, November 23, 2012
Hollerin' Halloran is at it again.
That blathering beer belly flutters and sputters... throws wild glances at the crowd..waves his hands around the air in obtuse arcs.
What do his constituents get from his performance?
Hot air and broken promises!
The man is a pathological liar with a God complex
He would have been a perfect Boss Tweed operative...but far too loud and obvious in manner...
to be William Marcy Tweed, himself.
Tweed was a crafty old buzzard.
However, Dan does belong in the 19th century with that crew of Irish pol ward healers.
- Friday, November 23, 2012
Halloran is a cartoon come to life.
Unfortunately, he's real enough to be parking his lard ass in the city council chambers of New York City.
A lot of us made a very big mistake voting for this devious clown.
- Friday, November 23, 2012
Chrissy and Dan must be spitting bullets by now.
- Friday, November 23, 2012
Yeah....where are the Dan defending trolls?

CHARDON, Ohio (AP) ? The 17-year-old suspect in a deadly shooting rampage at an Ohio high school appeared briefly in juvenile court as residents of the shaken community offered sympathy and support for families and friends of the three students who were killed and two who were wounded.
CHARDON, Ohio (AP) — The 17-year-old suspect in a deadly shooting rampage at an Ohio high school appeared briefly in juvenile court as residents of the shaken community offered sympathy and support for families and friends of the three students who were killed and two who were wounded.
A prosecutor described suspect T.J. Lane as "someone who's not well" and said the teen didn't know the victims but chose them randomly.
Lane admitted taking a .22-caliber pistol and a knife to the 1,100-student Chardon High School and firing 10 shots at a group of students sitting at a cafeteria table Monday morning, Prosecutor David Joyce said.
Authorities offered their own condolences Tuesday and shared a nugget of welcome news, announcing that an 18-year-old girl who was hurt in the shootings had been released from the hospital and was home with family. The second injured teen remained in serious condition at a suburban Cleveland hospital.
Those trying to understand what prompted the shootings got few answers from the court hearing, which came hours after the death toll rose to three.
Lane, a thin young man described by other students as extremely quiet, spoke little in court, where a judge ordered him held for at least 15 days.
Lane's grandfather, who has custody of the teenager, and two aunts joined him in court. The women lightly embraced the older man as the hearing began.
Prosecutors have until Thursday to bring charges and are expected to ask that Lane be tried as an adult. He will probably be charged with three counts of aggravated murder and other offenses, Joyce said.
The prosecutor appeared to rule out rumors and speculation that the young gunman lashed out after being bullied or that the shooting had something to do with drug-dealing.
"This is not about bullying. This is not about drugs," Joyce said. "This is someone who's not well, and I'm sure in our court case we'll prove that to all of your desires and we'll make sure justice is done here in this county."
Joyce would not elaborate. Both sides in the case are under a gag order imposed by the judge at the prosecutor's request.
The judge also barred media outlets from taking photos of the faces of the suspect and some of his relatives. The Associated Press transmitted photos and video of Lane that were shot before the hearing. The AP and at least one other media outlet, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland, plan to challenge the judge's order Wednesday.
Meanwhile, area schools offered grief counseling to students, staff and others shocked by the rampage.
"We're not just any old place, Chardon," Chardon School Superintendent Joseph Bergant II said. "This is every place. As you've seen in the past, this can happen anywhere, proof of what we had yesterday."
Authorities said Tuesday that Demetrius Hewlin, 16, and Russell King Jr., 17, had died from their injuries. Daniel Parmertor, 16, died shortly after the shooting.
Hewlin attended Chardon High. King and Parmertor were students at the Auburn Career Center, a vocational school, and were waiting in the Chardon High cafeteria for their daily bus when they were shot.
Lane's family is mourning "this terrible loss for their community," Lane's attorney, Robert Farinacci, said in a statement.
Fifteen-year-old Danny Komertz, who witnessed the shooting, said it appeared that the gunman singled out a group of students sitting together. He said Lane was known as an outcast who had apparently been bullied. But other students disputed that.
Farinacci told WKYC-TV that Lane "pretty much sticks to himself but does have some friends and has never been in trouble over anything that we know about."
Lane did not attend Chardon High but waited there for the bus to Lake Academy, a school for students with academic or behavioral problems. Authorities would not say how and why he ended up at Lake Academy.
Student Nate Mueller said he was at the cafeteria table where the victims were shot, and a bullet grazed his ear. Mueller told The Plain Dealer that King — one of those killed — had recently started dating Lane's ex-girlfriend.
Lane "was silent the whole time," Mueller said. "That's what made it so random."
Kala Day, 18, said she rode the morning school bus with Lane and knew the victims.
"He always sat by himself and, like, looked out the window. So I sat with him a few times, because I felt bad for the kid," she said. "He didn't talk. He just stared out the window."
The shooting sent students screaming from the building in panic, and some of that chaos and fear was captured in 911 recordings released Tuesday.
"We just had a shooting at our school. We need to get out of here. Oh, my god," one crying female caller told a dispatcher.
"Everyone's running away," the caller added.
Another caller, a male student, instantly identified the gunman as Thomas Lane, a student, and said he appeared to be shooting at random.
"What was his beef with these kids? Do we know?" the dispatcher asked.
"I have no idea," he said, adding: "He's very quiet and he doesn't really talk to anyone."
Frank Hall, an assistant high school football coach who has been hailed as a hero by students who say he chased the gunman out of the cafeteria, told a Cleveland TV station that he couldn't discuss what happened, but added: "I wish I could have done more."
AP writers Dan Sewell in Cincinnati; Julie Carr Smyth, Andrew Welsh-Huggins and Ann Sanner in Columbus; and photographer Mark Duncan in Chardon contributed to this report.

|Podium at the Igls, Austria World Cup (that's me in the yellow pants!)
|Entertainment at the Igls World Cup. It made us lugers feel sane :)
|We are practical jokers on our team,
humoring ourselves at our favorite gym in Austria.
Teammates Kate Hansen, Emily Sweeney,
Chris Mazdzer, Preston Griffall and myself.
We are done!!! For the year 2012 that is. I am now enjoying our much-needed mid-season Christmas Break. Being home allows me to really clear my head, reflect on the season to this point, set new goals for the remainder of the season, and eat lots of yummy food. I always look forward to this "re-grouping" time. We had four World Cups thus far – I have had one great race, two mediocre races, and one bad race. Overall I am still very optimistic with where I am headed this season and the moves I am making forward in my quest to return to the Olympics next year in Sochi, Russia.
The first World Cup of the year was in Igls, Austria. It is a relatively slow track for us with top speeds, but the racing is extremely close. I finished sixth in the World Cup which is my best finish ever on that track. I also had the fastest starts in each of the heats. The start of my season domestically was so successful so I was very anxious to get the first World Cup out of the way to see where I stood amongst my international competitors. This result solidified for me that I am ready for the season, and that if I do my job and slide well I will be in the hunt every weekend.
The next two races were in Germany; the first was in Konigssee, Germany. This is one of my favorite tracks to compete on. At the top portion of the track the drives have to be really precise, with the bottom half being more flowing and speed is important. I tend to enjoy driving tracks vs. gliding tracks, as they tend to play to my strengths in the sport. I strained my back early in the week and unfortunately missed most of the training for the week; I was able to take two runs at the end of the week, which was necessary in order to meet the qualifications to race in the World Cup. The first run of the race I had a ninth place run, I had small problems in the run, and my start was a bit slower than normal because of my back. I was still in the hunt being just .15 seconds out of sixth place. On my second run I really went for it and was having a great run with fifth-place split times (the intermediate times down the track) but I made a driving error before one of the straightaway sections of the track and lost a lot of speed and ended up in 21st place. Luckily Konigssee was selected as the replacement race for the race we were supposed to have in Cesana, Italy; so we will be back in Konigssee right after the Christmas break and I will certainly be looking for some redemption.
Our third race of the season was in Altenberg, Germany; of all the tracks we slide and race on, this is a track that I have never been able to find the right rhythm on. At this point in my career I think it is as much a mental game for me than a lack of skill in sliding. But nevertheless I had a very rough week of training, which continued into the race where I had two "clean runs" (I didn't hit any walls); but they were far from good. I ended up 22nd place.
The final race before the break was in Sigulda, Latvia. It was a cold and windy week, living up to the usual weather we experience in Latvia as it is located a short 30 miles away from the Baltic Sea. I enjoy sliding in Sigulda, however the way the track is built can weigh heavily on my performance there. This year is the best I think the track has ever been; it was smooth, fast, and hard ice. I finished 10th in the race. I was happy to be back in the top 10 after two rocky races the prior to weeks, but I know that I am capable of better.
Moving forward in the season, I hope to slide to the best of my ability and be back in the top eight. The most important thing for me to focus on as we get closer and closer to next year and the Sochi Olympics is that my only job is to get the sled down the hill clean and smooth. My equipment is running great, I have one of the fastest starts in the women's field, and knowing those two things gives me great confidence in myself that if I slide well I will be where I want to be in the rankings. Happy New Year everyone!!!

I love rolling shots. I took this shot of a 1st generation Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 while barreling down a freeway in Oakland,CA a few minutes before sunset. A few members of my local 3000GT community came over to help me with my own car, and afterwards we set out to take some pictures at a run down naval base. On the way back I saw an opportunity to get some rolling shots of this car and began shooting blindly as the rushing air made it hard to get a good look through my viewfinder. I took this one with my Canon 1D and 28-105mm lens with a shutter speed of 1/50 at an aperture of f/5 on ISO-500 and it was part of a 4 burst sequence, all of them under this overpass. - Abraham Rodriguez
This weekend I was lucky enough to go dog sledding for the first time. When we had finished the ride our guides had another surprise for us...a new litter of 5 week old puppies. I snapped hundreds of shots, but this little guy (his name was "Crumbs") was just too adorable. Working with the Duotones challenge, I used Photoshop to convert the image and voilà. Nikon D90, 18-55mm kit lens @ 34mm, ISO 200, f/5, 1/80 sec. - Adam Biesenthal
I'm an amateur photographer as a hobbyist. To practice my skills, I've decided to do a 31 Days of March album where I try to take one creative picture daily to improve my skills. Today I setup a little shoot to photograph the smoke plume that rises from incense. I set it up using a black backdrop, a constant lightsource refracting from the back right side towards the camera and a wireless flash to give further definition from the left side. Smoke is unbelievably hard to capture great images from as it's totally free to move on its own based on different air currents. It took over 100 shots and a bit of manipulation to capture this three spiral snapshot. This was captured with the new Sony NEX-7, 50mm at f10 to keep the smoke in focus. - Adam Hanson
I went down to San Jose this afternoon to pick up my very first DSLR, a used D40 I bought off a friend. On the way back stopped by our local marina and took this picture out over the San Francisco Bay. Nikon D40, AF-S DZ Zoom-Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G ED II, 55m, 1/640s, f/8, ISO 200, Slight color touch-up in Picasa. - Andy Holton
I wish I had a decent camera when the day to night shooting challenge was announced but hey its better late than never. Took one shot around 4PM and another after sunset. Post-processing was a bit tough as the pics were a bit tilted from each other but the final result came out pretty good.
F-stop f/25
Exposure time 1/25 sec(day), 2 sec(night) - Ashish Dhillon
I took this shot on top of a parking lot in one of the malls in New Jersey. When I was just waiting for my wife and daughter from their shopping spree. I used my Nikon D5000 with original lens kit, setting the camera at 18mm, ISO of 100, narrow aperture of F/22 and lastly shot it with a tripod cause I tried a 30 sec shutter speed. This is the output of the sky and the clouds that I took! I used a 9 stop ND filter by the way! - Ave Guisala
I've always been interested in the way that people interact with their environment and the way that environments impact people. In this case, I wanted to play with the way that light dramatizes the valleys, wrinkles, and creases in the male torso. Luckily, I had my partner on hand to indulge me. I chose my mediums based upon the subject, deciding to use large format in order to allow for maximum texture and detail. Shot with: Toyo 45CF, Schneider 150mm f6.3, 400 T-Max 4x5, f8, 1/125, processed with HC110, and scanned with an Epson V700. - Brandon Merz
I thought a lot about what I could shoot this week that would be clever, but instead of focusing on the abstract, I decided to walk around my neighborhood and capture simple, yet beautiful images I pass by everyday. I liked the specific one I photographed because it showed a bit of the creative process and how nature can enhance our imagination whether it be while doing photography, writing, drawing, or any other kind of art form. This photo was shot with a Nikon D7000. Exposure time was 1/30 of a second, F-stop was f/5.3 and the ISO was set to 110. - Bryndan Bedel
Shot with a Nikon D90 at ISO 400. Shutter speed 8" aperture f/5. This is an image of a 50 caliber bullet surrounded by .22 caliber bullets. The 50 is leading the smaller bullets into a column of light at the back of the image, first confronting a mysterious light floating in front of them, not knowing what awaits them. The light is created using a slow shutter speed and a flashlight. - Cameron Premo
Was hoping to get a nice sunrise photo at Cape Henlopen State Park (in Lewes, Delaware), looking out over the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, it was completely overcast, so there were no vibrant colors to be had. In theory, this photo should be looking at the sun shortly after it crosses the horizon. It's a 13.0 sec exposure (to create the blurry water) at f/32 and ISO100. Shot with a Sony SLT-A33 and the 18-55mm kit lens. - Chris Kennedy
Took this at Winter Jam in Mobile on Sunday night. Featured in the shot is John Cooper of Skillet, one of my favorite bands ever! The show was amazing and, since I had already seen it in Atlanta, I knew when everything was going to happen so I got some really good shots. Of the 300 or so shots that I took, this was one of the best ones as far as composition goes. Only edits to it were a slight brightness bump and conversion to black and white. Canon Rebel T2i w/ 50mm prime. 1/200 sec at f/2.0, ISO 400 - Chris Morey
My camera is the Canon xsi and I used a 50mm lens at 100 ISO and F1.8. I had a fun time taking this photo and didn't happen upon this scene until one of my last shots. It was really late at night, I think about midnight and there was a sidewalk light that I noticed casted some great light on the telescope especially after 30 second exposer. The red knob reads turn to clear vision and I liked the interesting way it made it went along with my picture. Thanks for having a free for all! - Corey Sparkman
I had a really hard time figuring out what i wanted to take a picture for this challenge. When i was driving around i saw a tree with led lamps hanging from the branches. There were 4 trees and they all have different color LED's. After a few shots i got this cool effect. I'm using my Canon EOS T3I with the EFS 18-55mm lens, the settings were at 0"8 sec, f/32, 100 iso. Hope you guys enjoy the picture. - David Chau
Today we discovered the board game Power Grid, so instead of spending time thinking about this challenge, we played... and played and played. This photo is the result. Based on my region picks, I guess I was playing as "National Grid". Canon T2i, 100mm, f2.8, ISO 3200. - Diego Jimenez
Maggie the cat. Can there ever be enough adorable pictures of cats on the Interwebs? Canon 7D, 50mm L, 6400 ISO, f1.2, 1/160. - Ed Zimmeth
I was playing around with shooting some colored lights hanging on my wall. I brought the ISO way down to 100 and set the focus to manual and de-focused the lights. I set up my T3i for a long exposure and changed the focal length though out the shot from about 70mm to 270mm. I took about 30 shots trying to get the background as dark as possible and the lights to look like solid streaks. Canon T3i w/ Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 ISO 100 f/6.3 3.2sec. exposure. - Elijah Rosenn
For my free for all challenge, I went out to my usual playground, a series of former coastal defense bunkers used to protect the country from a potential Japanese invasion during WWII obviously that never happened, so all the facilities were abandoned and now the hills are covered with crumbling concrete fortifications. It seemed like an appropriate place for a shot free from the oppressive Gizmodo master! I brought out Jane the mannequin and was inspired as soon as I saw the old gun mount. I thought it would be cool to do a "color wheel Jane" shot. Taken with a sparkler and a few cheap Target red green and blue flashlights. I traced Jane with each color (and the sparkler) and moved her to the next location and repeated.
Nikon D300, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, Iso 100, 15mm, f/ 5.0, 346.0s. - Eric Mulligan
I took this shot in my garage of my friends Sean and Kaleb with a 30 second shutter and a laser pointer. We didn't have a tripod, so we left it on a side table and it actually turned out alright! What I didn't expect was how well the light from the laser pointer would illuminate their faces. Nikon D5000, shutter: 30 seconds, aperture:f3.6, iso:640. - Evan Johnston
The process to get this shot was a long one. I originally wanted to get a picture of the cracks that form in ice cubes when you pour a room temperature drink over them. This effect was proving difficult to capture. so I moved on to a new method. I put about a half inch of water in to a five inch square plastic container and let it partially freeze. I removed it from the freezer and ran it under cold water work a second, which caused cracks and fissures to form. I then added a few drops of food coloring that would seep in to the cracks. Back it went in the freezer and the process was repeated maybe 20 times over the course of about 24 hours. Sometimes, I'd rinse the outer layer of ice off as it was getting too coated in food coloring. Other times, I'd add more water to keep the ice from getting too thin. After leaving it alone in the freezer overnight at what was it's thickest variation (about 1 inch), it didn't want to crack in the morning, so I gave it a gentle whack with a hammer to help get the food coloring deep into the ice. When I was finally happy with the look and color of the cracks, I set up on the flat surface of my stove to shoot. I got my tripod set to point as close to straight down as possible by leaning it against the oven door and got the lens three to four inches above the ice. I had placed my piece of cracked ice on a sheet of aluminum foil (shiny side up) and used the pair of 50 watt halogens in the hood vent of the stove to light it from above. The foil then reflected enough of the light to make it almost seem like it was lit from underneath. This shot came from early in the first batch of photos I took. Over the course of the next 24 hours, I kept the process going, but nothing came close to looking right. Full disclosure, I did run the pic through Photoshop CS5; but only to adjust the vibrance and saturation ever so slightly. Nikon D3100, shutter speed 1/60 sec, f/5.6, ISO 200, focal length 55mm, mounted on tripod, facing almost straight down about 3 to 4 inches above subject. - Gabe Loewenberg
Last night was probably one of the greatest nights of my life. On the beach with a friend, a camera, tripod and a flashlight. First time attempting a long exposure shot of any type and it went off without a hitch. The camera in question is my Nikon D5000 with a standard 18-55mm lens, ISO 200 and f/3.5. Focusing issues burned the first couple shot and then I got this one. Who knew a peaceful night on the beach could be turned into mayhem simply by walking with a flashlight. - Greg Rosen
There isn't much of a story behind this photo. This is actually my first shooting challenge submission, so I guess there is some story to it after all. I wanted to go in the minimalist direction with this photo. The true point of this photograph is that there isn't a point to it. I just wanted to share the sheer beauty of contrast and hopefully you're able to see that in my submission. Nikon D7000, Nikon Nikkor AF-S Lens 50 mm F/1.8, ISO 640, 1/640 sec exposure. - Ilshat Ahatov
For this weeks challenge I decided to have a go at making a diorama in the style of Matthew Albanese. The river is made from baked sugar, the rocks from home made play-dough and the foilage is various pieces of moss from the garden. The far tree-line is made from broccoli. The clouds were photographed by shooting cotton buds through a glass sheet. All in all, for a first attempt it's reasonable but not in the same class as Albanese's works. Then again I had a new-born baby on my arm for quite a bit. Shot with a canon E0S1000D with a polarising filter and a blue graduated filter on top of that. Quite a bit of photoshopping to get rid of bits of sand on the water. - James Slade
When I read the words "shoot anything you want" I got really excited at first. That slowly changed when I couldn't decide which picture to submit and stared at several over and over again. I chose this image in the end because the runner and birds look calm and free. Canon EOS Rebel T2i, Lens: 55mm, Exposure: 1/125. - Jeanie Choe
In a galaxy far, far away... Two LEGO models, two glowsticks (for the blaster beams), a black fabric backdrop littered with glitter-pen-dotted "stars," some black thread, a speed flash, and two crazy photographers (you'll see his submission here, too) created a battle between a Tie Advanced Fighter and an X-Wing Fighter. The sharpshooting Rebel pilot is about to take out the elusive enemy fighter, but fortunately for the Empire, these LEGO models are pretty easy to reassemble, and glowstick blasters don't do much damage to begin with. Props used are listed above. This long-exposure, strobe-enhanced photo was taken by a Sony Alpha SLT-a55 with an 18-55mm lens: 30s shutter, f/22 aperture, ISO-100. Multiple flash strobes were used to light the models and backdrop. Photoshop was used to remove some unwanted scenery that wasn't covered by the backdrop, add some motion blur to the blasters, and adjust the brightness/contrast a bit. This is *not* a composite shot, and the blaster beams and stars were shot with the rest of the scene. No LEGOs were harmed in the process. - Jeremy Klukan

Holland, hope you got another good night's sleep.
I have been re-reading the paper because we are in the middle of a snowstorm today. There are 2 sentences on page 4 that may explain why dropping your dose back has helped. These say
Under basal conditions, adenosine tonically activates predominantly A1R, which inhibits glutamate release. A2AR is activated with higher concentrations of adenosine, which would normally occur upon strong glutamatergic input. Activation of A2AR negatively modulates A1R signaling in the heteromers and promotes the opposite, glutamate release.
Since hyperarousal is due to a hyperglutamatergic state, I read that to say that increasing adenosine triggers A1R and lowers glutamate. But too much adeonsine triggers A2AR, which releases glutamate and therefore returns the hyperarousal state. If that is correct, there will be a sweet spot with dosing and ENT1 agonist. You need enough to reduce dopamine and glutamate levels, but not so much that it triggers A2AR and returns the hyperglutamate condition.

Inter Milan's Dejan Stankovic scored a goal just 20 seconds into a Champions League game against Schalke last night in Milan. More accurately, Stankovic fluidly picked the ball out of the air from midfield and sent it searing past Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer with one touch. From fifty meters out. Inter lost this one, 5-2, and continues its fall from the top of the Champions League — but as Rob Hughes points out, those at San Siro last night were still treated to one of the most memorable and graceful goals in the stadium's 85-year history. What a play.

I got to meet Daria Schaffeld, chair of the National Council for the Social Studies Psychology Community, last year at NCSS. She helped run a great meeting for psych. teachers at NCSS, and I mentioned that I could post something about her group here on this blog. Here's Daria's message - please join this group!
"NCSS Communities are groups of NCSS members formed around a similar interest, subject, or job area and vehicles for NCSS members to discuss current topics, seek advice, share their knowledge and connect with other members with similar interests. Our goal is very simple - to help Psychology teachers!
Each year at the National Conference, my co-chairs and I present many wonderful sessions filled with lesson ideas and best practices. We also write 3 newsletters a year and send them to our members.
I am very dedicated to showing NCSS that Psychology is a valuable elective within the Social Studies Curriculum. It is vital that we have a voice.
I truly believe that if you are looking for some inspiration, networking, or assistance becoming part of our organization would be a great move. Membership information can be found on our website.
Online membership is free. I ask that you take a moment to join us. The higher numbers we show the more support NCSS gives our science."

In July of 1991, the world was treated to an incredible motion picture. "Terminator 2: Judgement Day". It's an action movie with science fiction underpinnings, a chase film with the fate of the world as the stakes.
It's easily one of the greatest "Action Movies" ever made.
But as great a movie as it is, it's also an important one. "T2" was a milestone movie in the realm of special effects. A groundbreaking pioneer. Audiences stepped into theatres from a world where "CGI" held no meaning for them, and stepped back out after the show into a world where there was no doubt – movies had a powerful new weapon in their arsenal to bring the imagination into reality onscreen.

Yumnuts Almonds - We've been fans of this company's flavored cashews for years, and now Yumnuts has branched out to almonds! Choose from Dark Chocolate (with a thin layer of cocoa, not an actual chocolate shell), Cinnamon (with molasses and allspice too!), and Ginger Orange (don't be scared -- the flavor is mild and really delicious). Each 1-oz. serving (about 17 nuts) has 150 calories, 11g fat, 0mg sodium, 10 - 11g carbs, 3g fiber, 5 - 7g sugars, and 5g protein (PointsPlus® value 4*). YUM is right!

Saucy Mama Mustards - We've professed our love for this mama's sauce before, but these mustards deserve a shout-out of their own. The flavors are great. Champagne Honey? Smoky Garlic?!

For us, pretty much EVERY day is Food Day, but our pals at the Center for Science in the Public Interest have a loftier idea in mind. They've declared that October 24th (a.k.a. today, for those of you who aren't good with calendars) is Food Day -- a day to encourage Americans to "eat real" and support the goal of making healthy, affordable food (produced in a sustainable, humane way) a reality for everyone.

Dairy Queen Mini Pumpkin Pie Blizzard - The current Blizzard of the Month is packed with seasonal flavors... as well as 370 calories and 14g fat... in a MINI. Come on, DQ -- in the words of Lady Gaga, "Don't be a drag, just be a queen..." Jack in the Box Mini Cookies - An order of five of these miniature sweets carries a not-so-mini nutritional price tag of 311 calories and 14g fat. What's worse is that the site proudly features the cookies on its "Healthy Dining" page... which we find a little odd, considering the Healthy Dining list of criteria for desserts specifies 250 calories or less and 8 grams of fat or less. (This menu item only qualifies if you share your cookies with a friend!)

Chittagong, Arakan State: Rohingya political groups had welcomed the European Parliament resolution (2012/2604(RSP)) of 20 April 2012 which called for changes to the 1982 law on citizenship to ensure due recognition of the right to citizenship of the Rohingya ethnic minority in Burma, according to press release of the Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO).
"The resolution also called for the release of all political prisoners without delay and conditions, and access of ICRC and international human rights bodies to Burma's prisons; to introduce amendments to the 2008 constitution; to guarantee free and independent media; to initiate legal reforms in order to ensure a truly independent and impartial judiciary and to establish process of justice and accountability for past human rights abuses."
The Rohingya groups - the Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO) and the Burmese Rohingya Organisation UK (BROUK).
"The whole Rohingya people feel encouraged by this resolution," said Nurul Islam, the President of ARNO.
"While cautiously welcoming the recent positive changes in Burma, including mutual rapprochement between President U Thein Sein and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the resolution expresses concerns on the policies and discrimination against Rohingya people, and issues concerning human rights and other important matters," the press release said.
The Burma citizenship law of 1982 was designed by former BSPP dictator General Ne Win to exterminate Rohingya Muslims from Arakan. It violates several fundamental principles of customary international law standards, has deprived the Rohingya of their Burmese citizenship rendering them 'stateless' in their own homeland. 1982 citizenship law effects to Rohingya in their all activities such as restriction on movement, marriage, and education and so on, according to BROUK press released.
The law promotes discrimination against those who do not belong to so-called racially pure-blooded 135 ethnic groups that the government accepts as Burmese nationals and deliberately denies citizenship to Rohingya who had previously been recognized as citizens and ethnic group in Burma, according to ARNO press release.
The rejection of Rohingya's citizenship rights and ethnic rights by the government of Thein Sein is the main contributing factor to the growth of the refugee problem and the boat people crisis in the region. The Junta's policy towards Rohingyas has been intolerable. The extreme situation has forced them to prefer to take perilous voyages by rickety boats across seas and oceans rather than live in their homeland; as a result hundreds of Rohingya boat people drowned over the years, according to Tun Khin, the president, BROUK.
Therefore, we urge upon the international community and governments to set the 'issue of Rohingya citizenship' as one of the benchmarks for lifting sanctions on the Burmese government as the 1982 citizenship law largely ignores state's 'obligation to respect the right to nationality' and it does not oblige the state to protect stateless persons.
The resolution also calls on the Burmese authorities, among other things, to completely end the decade-old internal armed conflicts, to take more positive measures for peace negotiations towards political and democratic reforms.
Similarly, the Christian Solidarity Worldwide has welcomed the European Union's decision to suspend sanctions against Burma for a year, which called for "substantially improved" access for humanitarian assistance, especially for those affected by the conflict in Kachin State and along the eastern border, as well as moves towards improving the welfare of the predominantly Muslim Rohingya people who live in northern Arakan State but are denied citizenship and are subjected to severe restrictions and persecution.

As the international market gets tough, the tough get going — to markets like the Madrid de Cine-Spanish Film Screenings.
Dedicated showcases for national films are becoming increasingly popular with distributors evaluating the cost of doing business. In addition to June's Madrid de Cine, they include January's Unifrance Paris Rendez-Vous and late June's London U.K. Film Focus.
At Madrid, distributors are flown in and lodged at the Melia Princesa Arguelles Hotel at the expense of the organizers: Spanish producer's association FAPAE, Spain's Icaa film institute and the PromoMadrid promotion board.
Kicking off June 20, the three-day mart holds morning screenings at Alta Film's Princesa arthouse; Spain's sales agents take foreign distributors through their slates during afternoons; journos interview the talent. Event wraps with a plush final-night party.
Execs say events such as Madrid de Cine are good for market dynamics in these tough times. "When you attend major festivals with markets, you don't have much time to focus on any single national cinema," says Jakub Duszynski of Poland's Gutek Films. "Spanish cinema is interesting enough to be highlighted. Distributors need to attend focused events and immerse themselves in recent national output."
Elba McAllister, at top Colombian indie distributor Cineplex, agrees. "I can't see all the Spanish films at Berlin or Cannes. At Madrid de Cine, I can focus on what's new."
"The Paris, London and Madrid screenings are Europe's top national cinema showcase events," Duszynski says.
Although big film markets are increasingly becoming places where sales agents pitch rather than sell films, distributors still need to meet face to face — with sales agents and each other.
"There are synergies from being together. Buyers begin to ask each other what they've bought, what they've seen," says Jose Ramon Ganchegui, Venevision Intl. acquisitions exec.
And deals do go down at Madrid de Cine. In 2009, Variety recorded 41 international sales, led by KWA's 13-pic U.S. purchase by Venevision.
But the mini-mart also faces a challenge — shared by the Rendez-Vous and U.K. Focus: The screenings see few large world preems. Cannes steals much of that thunder.
Also, in an ever-contracting foreign-language film market where, given the slump in DVD and TV sales, buyers seek solidly theatrical properties, many films at the Spanish screenings simply lack the scale to spark mass sales.
But there can be genuine surprises. One of the stars in 2009, for example, was Arantxa Aguirre's "Of Heart and Courage."
It was not a Spanish genre pic of the kind so much sought after by buyers, but a moving documentary on the Lausanne Bejart Ballet.

bring (someone or something) to(redirected from bring them to themselves)
bring (someone or something) to
1. To cause someone to regain consciousness. After Lily fainted, we used smelling salts to bring her to.
2. To stop a vessel from moving. We're getting close to the dock, so bring the boat to.
3. To cause a total to reach a certain amount. Adding a drink brings your total to $8.49. I'm thrilled because my last payment brought the amount I still owe on that loan to less than $1,000!
4. To cause someone to resume acting or feeling as they normally do. In this usage, a noun or pronoun is used between "bring" and "to," and a reflexive pronoun is used after "to." I was starting to get disoriented after being awake for 36 hours straight, but a good night's rest brought me to myself.
bring one to oneself
to cause one to become rational; to cause one to act normal. A glass of ice water thrown in her face brought Sally to herself. I was brought to myself by some smelling salts.
bring someone to
to help someone return to consciousness. We worked to bring him to before he went into shock. He was finally brought to by the smelling salts.
bring to
1. Restore to consciousness, as in I'll see if these smelling salts will bring her to. Also see bring around, def. 2.
2. Cause a vessel to stop by heading into the wind or some other means. For example, As they neared the anchorage, they brought the boat to. This usage was first recorded in 1753.
bring to
1. To cause a ship to turn toward the wind or come to a stop: Some lines were dragging overboard, so we brought the ship to and hauled them in again.
2. To cause someone to recover consciousness: I fainted, but the smelling salts brought me to right away.

MS UK Defaced in Hacking Attack
Microsoft's UK web site was defaced late on Tuesday night with a message in support of Venezuelan hacker Rafa.
Defacement archive Zone-H reports that well-known defacer Apocalypse hacked into Microsoft's UK web site (microsoft.co.uk) and uploaded a picture with the message "FREE RAFA - HACK IS NOT A CRIME" (recorded in an archive here).
The site has since been restored to normal operation and the offending GIF removed. A Microsoft spokesman said it was aware of the attack, which technical staff are investigating. "There is no reason to believe customer data or any other sensitive information has been compromised," he said. Although somewhat embarrassing all early indications are that the attack was not serious.
Apocalypse has been targeting US institutions and the government sites for months, always posting messages in support of Venezuelian hacker Rafael (Rafa) Nunez-Aponte, a suspected member of the World of Hell hacking crew. Rafa is in custody in the US following his arrest in Miami in April over a series of alleged attacks on US Department of Defense servers dating back to 2001.
Previous targets of Apocalypse's "digital graffiti" attacks have included Stanford University (archive here) and US Navy web sites. Zone-H reckons that misconfiguration of Microsoft's UK web server permitted the latest attack. For the record, Microsoft's UK site runs Microsoft's IIS 6 web server software on Windows 2003 servers.

I am slowly moving most of my projects to GitHub. GitHub is great because people can easily collaborate, fork, submit issues and patches and so on. Additionally, stuff gets shared in an open and unified way, making it much easier to others to find and reuse existing code.
