WASHINGTON – Fisker Automotive, a California manufacturer of luxury electric vehicles, will receive more than $500 million in federal loans to develop a plug-in hybrid sports car with a sticker price of nearly $90,000.
(Fisker Automotive, a California Company, is backed by former VP and current environmental huckster Al Gore.)
Fisker, launched in 2007, is expected to release its first vehicle, the Karma, in the summer of 2010. The $87,900 plug-in luxury sports sedan, which has solar panels on the roof and allows motorists to drive gas-free for 50 miles (80 kilometers), will be built in Finland by Valmet Automotive.

An Overview of Clint Eastwood's Westerns: The Spaghetti Westerns
A Fistful of Dollars (1964) is an unofficial remake of the Akira Kurosawa's 1961 film, Yojimbo. In Yojimbo a rogue Samurai trades two crime lords off against each other to ultimately destroy their power. In A Fistful of Dollars, Clint Eastwood stars as a loan gunslinger who exploits the power struggle between two rival families to gain his own "fistful of dollars". This was the first of three Italian produced, "Spaghetti westerns" featuring the "Man With No Name".
The second "Spaghetti Western" featuring the "Man With No Name" is 1965's For a Few Dollars More. Clint Eastwood stars as one of two rival bounty hunters (the other played by Lee van Cleef) hunting for a ruthless criminal, El Indio. Each bounty hunter is driven by their own motivations. Eastwood's character is primarily driven by the money. Van Cleef's character has more personal motivations. The bounty hunters eventually team up to try and catch the outlaw.
1966's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is considered one of the classic westerns. The three main characters - The Ugly (Eli Wallach), The Good (Clint Eastwood), and The Bad (Lee Van Cleef) - are rivals in pursuit of a buried fortune. Time magazine counted it in the top 100 movies of the last century. It continually rates highly in Internet and Magazine charts of top movies. Quentin Tarantino regards it as the best film ever made!

Our last look at flags from the CIA World Factbook is a hodgepodge.
I like the flag of the British Indian Ocean Territory because of its wavy stripes:
The stylized boat on the flag for French Polynesia is quite nice, and I like the hat on Lesotho's:
So are the shields on Swaziland's and Kenya's:
I find the design of the flag for the Northern Mariana Islands not entirely successful, even after the explanation that what the wreath surrounds is "a latte stone (a traditional foundation stone used in building)." Why is the stone obscured by a star? And as much as I like the sailing ship, Saint Pierre and Miquelon's just has too much going on.
Can't make the same complaint about Libya's:
Just plain green.
And now, my very favorite of all. It is tempting not to look for an explanation of why it is as it is, but instead simply to enjoy the flag of the Isle of Man:
But I couldn't resist visiting the Isle of Man website, where I learned, in essence, that the meaning of the legs is anyone's guess:
National symbol
The National Symbol is the Three Legs of Man, first officially used in the early fourteenth century on the Manx Sword of State. The legs, clad in armour and bearing spurs, run in a clockwise direction and bear the Latin motto 'Quocunque Jeceris Stabit' or 'Whichever way you throw it, it will stand' – a testament to islanders' independence and resilience. The Three Legs also appear on the Manx Coat of Arms, flanked by a Peregrine Falcon and a Raven.
The source of the legs emblem is subject to many theories including the legend of the Island God Manannan, who is said to have set fire to the Legs in a fit of rage and hurled them down the hill in a burning wheel. The Legs are also related to Sicily's emblem of three naked legs surrounding the head of Medusa, and the swastika, both of which can be traced back to pagan symbols representing the Sun.

Dodge again dips into the past and pulls out a classic color for the Challenger R/T. Mopar fanatics will recognize "Green With Envy" from 1969 Chargers and Superbees. It was a limited color then, and it is now. Act fast.
As introduced today at the Chicago auto show, buyers can order the throwback color on Challenger R/T Classic and SRT8 392 models. Envious buyers can order a Challenger SRT8 Green With Envy now, or wait until late first-quarter '11 for the Challenger R/T Classic version.
For the Challenger R/T Classic, the limited-edition Green With Envy model comes with A-line body striping in matte black or optional white. New five-spoke, cast-aluminum wheels recall the old Halibrand "Kidney Bean" style. Inside, the seats are in Dark Slate Nappa leather with green accent stitching.
The Challenger SRT8 392 gets black body stripes and 20" SRT five-spoke wheels. Inside, the SRT seats get the same in Dark Slate Nappa Leather, with green accents front and rear.
And if those are too fast, and you need more room, you can always get a new Nissan van wrapped in the same color, so you'll have a Green With Envy NV.

Graphic content. Reader discretion advised.
I met her for the first time at a party, that I no longer remember who had thrown.
We met again, a few weeks later, this time at a house party. She wore blue, the midnight blue, and I remember being a little bit more sober. She recognized me from the other day and came over to say Hi. Anupriya, she said, pushing back long dark hair. I laughed and asked if I should call her Anu or Priya. She replied coyly that I can call her Girl. We started to talk, and it felt.. different. It was easy to flirt with her. Between many vodka shots, and countless Dunhill Reds drags, we spoke of Pink Floyd and dogs and death. Not too much of a talker, I let her speak, her words resonating with my silent thoughts.
P.S: I am not too fond of homophobes, so if you are one, please leave while I ask nicely.

MATEOS, Pablo. Geo-demographic analysis of surnames in México. Pap. poblac [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.65, pp.73-103. ISSN 2448-7147.
The present article tries to demostrate the usefulness of analyzing the origin and geographic-historic distribution of names and surnames to study the migrations and structure of the population and demostrate its application in México. With diverse listings of frequent surnames from different countries, all of them processed in a relational database and in a geographic information system, we achieve limiting regions and cultural or social groups, which may be partiality disentangled by means of the analysis of the distribution of sumame frequencies. Nonetheless, it is necessary to carry out a deeper analysis with a larger number of surnames and a formal method of classification, which might include socioeconomic strata to use the validation of the proposed method at its full potential.

Anderson Silva's teenage son wants father to retire
- Kalyl Silva wants the legend closest to him to hang up his gloves
- At the moment%2C it%27s unclear what%27s next for Silva%2C who left the hospital Tuesday
Kalyl Silva, the teenage son of Anderson Silva, has his dad's long limbs and an apparent knack for striking.
Prior to the ex-middleweight champ's title defense against Vitor Belfort at UFC 126, his son hit pads before reporters. In the final scene of the documentary Like Water, he was seen doing some light sparring with his father.
The young Silva could be a future legend. But right now, he wants the legend closest to him to hang up his gloves.
In an interview with Brazilian news outlet R7, Kalyl Silva said he wants his dad to stop fighting after he suffered a gruesome broken leg in a rematch with middleweight champ Chris Weidman last weekend at UFC 168.
"All due respect to Chris to go there and fight like a champion," Kayla Silva said, via Google translate. "Congratulations, Chris. It's your turn to be a legend. All the enemies are celebrating Silva and do not come to see me, is not my fault. But I want to see you do what he does.
"I hope he retires and [goes] home because I'm tired of watching my father train every day, be gone for two or three months, and a broken leg happens. And as always you are my champion father. And once again, good job Chris."
At the moment, it's unclear whether the 15-year-old will get his wish.
On Monday, the doctor who repaired Anderson Silva's broken leg said the fighter asked in the hospital when he could begin training again. According to Brazilian MMA writer Ana Hissa, "The Spider" left the hospital Tuesday and is headed back to his adopted hometown in the Los Angeles area.
On Sunday, the future UFC Hall of Famer tweeted thanks to his family and friends and said he needed to be with his family.
"I will be better soon, (and) now I need to be with my family to [recover] better," Silva said.
Regardless of whether the elder Silva soldiers on or retires, he is a lock for the UFC Hall of Fame. Following UFC 168's unfortunate ending, UFC president Dana White declined to speculate on the ex-champ's future, but he left the door open to either outcome.
"It's just one of those things," White said. "He's an incredible human being. He's done amazing things here at the UFC. Maybe he'll want to make a comeback. Who knows? I don't know. We'll see what happens.
"I don't want to count him out, and I don't want to count him in. It's just really not the important thing right now. The important thing is he gets his surgery, heals up, and then we go from there."

So. I find out I've got a fascinating family story. I want to tell people about my ancestor, Nicholas Delaney. I write (well, co-write) a book.
Then I want to tell people about the book. Plus I'd love to hear from Delaney rellies and anyone else with a similar story.
So I put loads of information and pix up on a website. Then there are problems. So I start building another site. How things have changed! My basic html is now stone-age. Hilariously inadequate. Sometimes I think I've got style sheets cascading past my eyes as I try to get to sleep. And as for Search Engine Optimisation and analytics…
Meanwhile my co-author is asking: "How's the web thing going?" Hmmm… slowly.
So I decide to start a blog. A blog about the website about the book? That could be a bit dull and, well, self-obsessive. A blog that does things the site and the book can't do? Yes! That'll be fun!
I can add information that's come to light since the book was published. I can pop in snippets too small for a whole web page. I can cross my fingers and hope to get feedback from other people looking at family history, the Irish rebellion of 1798, early colonisation in Australia and perhaps even from fellow descendants of Nicholas Delaney and his wife, Elizabeth Bayly.
And it's great displacement activity.

EXPLORING AFTER SUNDOWN: As children, we master one- and two-syllable words first, though a few big grown-up multi-part terms tend to sneak into our language, surprising adults around us. One word that many kids hear early on, at school and on zoo field trips, is "nocturnal." And it is a pretty easy one to grasp, if the tot understands that some animals, like owls and cottontails and coyotes, don't keep an early bedtime. Rather, they live by night, hunting and surviving, as opposed to all of the animals that seem to keep more closely to a human's schedule. The desert boasts many a beastie who stretches its wings and/or tail come sundown, but this isn't a side of things we always get to see, mostly because few of us venture into desert areas after dark (which is a shame, given that they're so beautiful and the stars above tend to do that blanketing thing).
GOOD NEWS: The Living Desert in Palm Desert will change that up, though, on Friday nights from January to early March. The animal park, which is devoted to the cacti and critters of our more arid California landscapes, is presenting Park After Dark, which'll take guests on an "evening safari" of sorts.
NIGHTTIME KNOWLEDGE: "(A)n animal of the nocturnal kind" greets guests upon arrival, and after that? More by-moon looking around, meaning an ultraviolet light will be brandished at some point. Those are handing in ferreting out scorpions, which glow by black light. Wait, is "ferreting" right? Or do we mean scorpioning out scorpions? S'mores, a campfire, a song, and more moonlight merriment is in store.

These blogs (I have two) began as a series of sayings I use to teach interpreting workshops, and political diatribes on Facebook. They moved from Facebook to this blog site: 1. as a way to remove them from my head (cuts down on the noise in there); and, 2. to give a better home to both my "less serious and satire laden posts" and my "more serious and satire laden posts." I guess it's up to you to decide which is which. View all posts by uncledalesrules

Before starting, I wish all of our American readers a belated Happy Fourth of July. We came home too late to post this issue, but having spent many a summer visiting American cousins in the Boston States, my thoughts were with you on this special day.
Yesterday, we took off for a drive down the Quebec countryside from Gatineau to Grenville along the Ottawa/Outaouais River, and covered such areas as Les Collines-de-l'Outaouais, La Lièvre et la Petite-Nation, and Les Laurentides.
Remember how I said it was going to be sunny? It rained! Not all the time - but enough to be bothersome.
However, we pushed on through the rain drops, and while we didn't visit as many museums nor sites of interest as we would have liked, we did drive around quite a bit in the rain, and had time enough to enjoy a nice supper back in Ottawa.
We started from the easterly side of the city of Gatineau, which includes the sectors of Alymer, Gatineau, Hull, Buckingham, and Masson-Angers. These cities and towns were amalgamated into the City of Gatineau in 2002.
After a short delay so that my husband could check for a laptop part at a computer store, we took off to follow the river almost down to its mouth at the St. Lawrence.
The Ottawa River was a key river in Canada's settling, as it was the waterway to the heart of the country for early immigrants to Canada, and vital to the early lumber industry.
The first place we went through was Thurso. It was settled in 1886 by Scottish people, and was named Thurso after the town in Scotland.
Its liveliehood has been in lumber industry, and in the early days sent its lumber to England to be used by the British Navy, but there are rumours now that the paper plant (after troubles in the lumber industry) is set to close.
It is a village of 2,000, and today the population is mainly French, although there is still a healthy population of English-speaking residents with Anglo-Celtic roots.
The next place we visited was Papineauville.
It is a pretty town, the former seigniory of Louis-Joseph Papineau, one of Quebec's early politicians.
It was settled around 1855.
And then on to Montebello, a very picturesque town which has become an artist's paradise, and is home to the Chateau Montebello, a first-class hotel and the largest log structure in the world. It was built in 1930.
We stopped at the nearby tourist bureau, which is an old train station (note the "weather vane" on the roof), and it was here that we encountered our first of many rain showers.
We continued down the road, following the Ottawa/Outaouais River to Hawkesbury, going through such settlements as Fassett and Grenville.
Until tomorrow ...
In the meantime, there are some places to check for genealogy -
The Quebec GenWeb page on West Quebec at <www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~qcoutaou/home.htm> has a free look-up based on what area you are researching in the West Quebec (Outaouais) region, and <www.islandnet.com/~cghl/region.php?cat=Quebec> has listings of cemetery transcriptions for the province of Quebec, such as the website found at <http://cemetery-index.tripod.com> for some the areas we travelled yesterday.
Also, check on other sites mentioned in this blog.

Politics and Law-Related News / Re: Democracy of Iraq has Constitution« on: October 23, 2005, 09:31:58 PM »
Some people ramble or scream when they are wrong, and some ask for a recount.
that right. never let crooked election stand in way of progress.
yeah...better to have a murdering crooked dictator and his murdering crooked sons calling the shots...
mr. fern...you are so naive...
you mean so naive as to expect that iraq's "liberators" not torture its citizens? or desecrate bodies of muslims?
Correct me if I am wrong. It just sounded like you were accusing American forces of torture. Or does accusing them of torture pass for support nowadays. And good job jumping to the conclusion that I even support the war. All I'll say is they are better off now than with Saddam, I didnt comment on the merit of the war.

Aw-Phil Day: Yanks Give Boston First Win
The Boston Red Sox were 0-6 coming into their home opener against the Yankees. Behind some weak pitching on the Yankees' part, the Red Sox changed that. Boston captured its first win of the year, beating the Yanks 9-6 this afternoon. It was almost as if the simple baseball game turned into a fierce tennis match, both sides going back-and-forth with the scoring.
Tied 6-6 in the bottom of the fifth inning, a double by Jarrod Saltalamacchia brought home Kevin Youkilis; making the game 7-6 in favor of Boston. Bartolo Colon, who put up such a valiant effort in relief, gave up the go-ahead run but it could have been prevented. An error by Mark Teixeira allowed David Ortiz to reach base, and the inning continued.
Boone Logan came on in relief in the seventh and gave up two more runs on a single by J.D. Drew. Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez came to the plate, Boston went up 9-6, and eventually they finished off the game.
There were plenty of things that went wrong for the Yankees today. Obviously the biggest story…
Phil Hughes
Two games for Phil Hughes this year, and both times he has gotten shelled. Today the 24 year-old righty was tagged for six earned runs on seven hits in just two innings. He didn't strike anyone out and walked two batters. He threw 47 pitches, all of which lacked command, movement, and velocity. He did not trust his fastball, which topped out in the high-80s, low-90s, and tossed a lot of cutters.
Hughes's day could probably be summed up with one pitch: the hanger he threw to Dustin Pedroia in the first inning. He hung a breaking ball a little too high and Pedroia pulled it over the Green Monster for a solo home run.
From there, he never recovered.
In his previous start, Hughes lost to the Detroit Tigers, pitching only four innings and giving up five earned runs on five hits. He walked two batters and struck out one, as many analysts noticed location and velocity were nowhere to be found in that start.
His season ERA after his first two starts: 16.50.
I got the feeling Hughes was going to struggle this season for a few reasons. First of all, go back and look at how he finished last year. He registered the loss in the 2010 All-Star Game for the American League and from there it all seemed to go downhill for him.
He lost two important games in the American League Championship Series to the Texas Rangers – and both losses were all on him. He pitched very poorly in both starts and it cost the Yankees in a major way.
In fact, Hughes gave up 11 earned runs on 14 hits in those final two games last year.
Now fast forward and look at how he performed in Spring Training this year. His record wasn't indicative of any failure (he was 1-0) but he gave up 10 earned runs in just five games. He also gave up four homers, his ERA was 4.09, and he pitched 22 innings giving up 24 hits.
It may not look like it in the box score, but he got knocked around all spring.
I had said on a few occasions that Hughes might have a year this year like A.J. Burnett had last year – not pitching effectively and thus ending the season with a lopsided win-loss record and a sky-high ERA. While it is early – extremely early – in the season, it looks as though my thought could be well-founded. Hughes is already 0-1 and pitched as if he should be 0-2 – the offense scored for him and got him out of a loss today.
Last year Hughes had the best run support of any pitcher in the American League, the Yankees averaging almost eight runs per game on days he took the mound.
But he can't live off that forever; eventually it will come back to bite him, like it did today. Hughes was lucky that John Lackey pitched just as poorly as he did, throwing five innings and giving up six earned runs on seven hits.
Lackey walked two batters and struck out two, but notched the win because the Red Sox were able to scrape across that run in the fifth while he was still the pitcher of record. All in all Lackey was lack-luster, but the Boston offense got it done for him – which was the story of Hughes's 2010 season. He would give up runs, but the Yankees would score for him to get him off the hook and most times, get him a win.
And like Hughes, Lackey might not be so lucky his next time out.
After Hughes's departure, ESPN insider Buster Olney tweeted: "You'd have to think that the Yankees will talk about replacing Phil Hughes in the rotation. For whatever reason, he has no weapons."
All true. None of Hughes's pitches are working for him.
Right now, replacing Hughes in the rotation seems like a novel idea, especially since he admitted after the game that his arm strength is not where it should be.
And with the way Bartolo Colon pitched in relief (4 1/3 innings, two hits, two runs, one earned run, one walk, five Ks) he would be the obvious choice, although there are other options. Mark Prior is a pitcher they could call up, and Kevin Millwood isn't far behind.
Heck, if the Yankees think about it, they still have Dellin Betances waiting in the wings.
What Hughes is showing right now reminds me of how Chien-Ming Wang pitched to start 2009. Wang struggled in the worst way and lost the faith of the Yankees. There's only one thing that Hughes and Wang don't have in common about their poor pitching in the early-going:
When Wang struggled, it was because he was hurt. There isn't anything wrong with Hughes.
Yankee manager Joe Girardi confirmed after the game that there is nothing physically wrong with Hughes and that he just needs to command his pitches better. Wang was injured and eventually landed himself on the disabled list following his subpar start in '09.
At least Wang had a reason for his struggle. Hughes just hasn't been pitching well.
Hughes's next start is supposed to be on Wednesday at home against Baltimore – a team atop the AL East right now, playing exceptional baseball. However, the Yankees have an off-day on Monday and could work around Hughes, pushing him back.
The likelihood of Hughes being skipped (I would say) is pretty high right now. So far he is only proving that he has a dead arm, he has nothing behind any of his pitches, and he isn't doing his job as the Yankees' number three starter.
I still have faith in Hughes. I think if he physically gets himself back to where he was during the first half of last year, he can be as dominant as any ace in the league. But he needs to get there.
He needs to get his fastball back up to the mid-90s, blowing hitters away and not letting them catch up to it. He needs to get his breaking ball working again, fooling hitters with its movement. He needs to locate his pitches, and get them down in the strike zone – not leaving them up for hitters to feast upon.
If he does that, he will be fine. If not, it will be a long season for Hughes.
Another Guilty Party
Boone Logan.
What is this guy doing on the team? Does he even have any business here in New York?
He is in the bullpen to be the Yanks' lefty specialist, and so far he is not proving he is a lefty specialist because he isn't getting any left-handed hitters out. Logan is only proving he doesn't belong here, as he gave up a two-run single to Drew in the seventh. At that point the Yanks were only down by one run and still had two innings to scrape a run across and tie it up.
I think once Logan gave up those runs, the Yanks' bats just gave up and never recovered.
Logan was part of the Yanks' meltdown on Tuesday to the Twins, and was even tagged with the loss in that game. Right now the reliever is 0-1 with an ERA of 13.50.
I know he is only filling in for Pedro Feliciano, who is on the DL with shoulder soreness. I hope Feliciano comes back soon, because the Yankee bullpen could sure use a lift.
And we could all use a break from Logan.
Bright Spots of the Day
Although it was a bad day for Hughes, Logan, and the Yankee team, there is some good to take away from it. Here are some things the Yankees did right today and some things we learned:
· We now know Bartolo Colon can thrive in a long relief role. Despite the two runs (only one was earned) he cleaned up Hughes's mess quite nicely.
· Alex Rodriguez homered today, his fifth career round-tripper off John Lackey. He now has three homers on the year and he is hitting .304.
· Curtis Granderson went the other way, slapping a double into left field. It's good to see Granderson, a traditional pull-hitter, go oppo and hit to left field instead of right.
· Derek Jeter had a hit and an RBI. He's now 68 hits away from 3,000.
· Brett Gardner had a triple, his first of 2011. He also stole a base, once again showcasing his Sonic the Hedgehog-like speed. A walk is as good as a double when it comes to Gardner. He can fly on the bases.
· Robinson Cano, a lifetime slugger at Fenway Park, was 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs. Cano seems to be heating up. Look out opposing pitchers…
Today is done and there is tomorrow afternoon to look forward to. Ivan Nova (1-0, 4.50 ERA) will look to get the Yankees back in the win column. He is facing Clay Buchholz (0-1, 5.68 ERA).

EDITOR'S NOTE- Farewell, fine reporter
The journalism industry just lost a talent, as three-year Hook reporter Lindsay Barnes heads off to law school. The man behind many memorable stories, including murder and pornography in Staunton, a look at the swirl of litigation around netrepreneur Halsey Minor, and a recent profile of radio host Rob Schilling, he has been an integral part of the Hook's award-winning news team– even back in the summer of 2005 when he was a college intern in our newsroom.
We hope he doesn't pass the bar because his chair will be waiting for him back here.

Those who make no mistakes learn nothing! This saying, which definitely applies to all areas of life, is particularly pertinent when it comes to photography. Every photographer makes mistakes in some shape or form. And that's good! Because every mistake is an opportunity to learn something, and keep improving.
When setting off on a quick getaway to Venice a few days ago, we didn't want to cart all our camera equipment with us, so we chose Tamron's AF 18-270-mm F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD travel zoom lens as an alternative. Its focal distance ranges from extreme wide angle to super tele, and the zoom range on the APS-C sensor extends to 27-405 mm (equivalent to 35-mm format), which is perfect for capturing the diverse subjects found in a city like Venice using one single lens.
Close, closer, macro! Tamron has two lenses for ambitious photographers to discover the magic of macrophotography. Both offer maximum magnification of 1:1, meaning you can capture your subjects in their original size.
If you ask a professional photographer which camera settings they use, the answer is surprisingly often: "I shoot in manual mode." Pros adjust aperture and shutter speed to the existing light conditions depending on the situation – by hand. They often prefer to trust their own experience rather than the camera's automatic function.
Are your photos sometimes too dark or too bright, even though you have used automatic exposure? Then you're not alone. Faulty exposure can initially exasperate many passionate photographers. It's caused by the camera's automatic mode determining aperture and shutter speed based on a standard value, which often doesn't match the way the photographer has perceived the scene.

Adobe and Photobucket announced a partnership today that will allow Photobucket's 35 million users to do basic video editing online through the web. The tools will be implemented in a browser using Flash and will enable users to remix their photos and home videos with other elements, such as music, video captions, and transitions—all without the use of dedicated video editing software.
The web-based video editor appears to have some relatively robust features as well, such as clip trimming and splitting. All of this can be done by a simple drag-and-drop interface, and Photobucket users are not just limited to their own content—they can also splice together content from other publicly-shared photos and videos on the service. It's unclear what file format the end result gets spit out in, but we assume Flash video based on Photobucket's statements encouraging users to embed their new creations into their websites and blogs.
"For the tens of millions of people who place their videos online, it is no longer good enough to simply post and share them–people want their videos to be compelling compared to other content," said John Loiacono, Adobe's Senior Vice President of the Creative Solutions Business Unit. "Adobe's web-based video remix and editing technology gives consumers an easy-to-use, 'no experience required' approach to web-based video editing that will help their stories stand out."
Indeed, the availability of video editing "software" via the web will be an attractive feature for Photobucket users who may feel that their personal needs don't warrant spending money on traditional video editing software that they may not know how to use. It also gives Photobucket an attractive advantage over competing services like Flickr, which only hosts photos and does not offer any ways to edit or remix them online.
Aside from ease-of-use, another obvious benefit to these online video editing tools is platform and browser agnosticism, eliminating fears of compatibility problems that some users have when purchasing software. Adobe says that this is only the beginning of an upcoming string of partnerships with Internet companies "over the coming months," offering free, ad-supported services to web users. One service that would be perfect for this kind of tool would be YouTube, which already allows users to record directly to the site via a Flash-based Quick Capture tool. Photobucket is currently offering the new service to Photobucket Pro users as part of a limited beta, but expect to make the service available for free to all users by early March.

Hey, when are y'all going to get off the stick and get a new podcast out? It's been since 3/8/11, and I'm going through some serious withdrawals here.
Love you guys, keep up the good work, please...
MoJoe- in response to the furor created by your comments about personal responsibility and being aware of your surroundings. There was a book that came out around about 1997 about listening to your fear. The book wasn't really worth reading, the first and last chapters about said it all. But basically it was saying, "Don't be the Wildebeest on the edge of the herd." If a situation makes your feel uncomfortable or fearful, there's a reason for it and you should take appropriate action. It certainly wasn't saying that people who get raped or mugged are responsible for their attacks because of the way they were dressed or acting. But that you could keep yourself safer by not going jogging alone in the dark by the waterfront in an area known for high crime, or using that ATM in a high crime area alone. That sort of thing. When my daughter of 20 went off to UCSD as a Junior, her first time living away from home basically, I told her to be aware of her surroundings. To listen to her feelings, and if something didn't feel right don't do it. Like jogging in the woods, UCSD has a beautiful Eucalyptus forest on campus, but it's also a great place for predators to hang out. So I told her not to the Wildebeest on the edge of the herd and reminded her of all those animal shows where the animals that get taken are always the old the young and the sick, on the edge on of the herd.
Once again, I love you guys, oh and Joe I friended you but not Brother Richard on facebook so I'll be expecting my money soonest...

Make Your Dancing with the Stars Professional Dancer Suggestions For Season 14
So, we've written up a Dancing With The Stars Cast Suggestion post where everyone listed all the celebrities they'd like to see dance in Season 14. Now how about the professional dancers?
Keep in mind, you don't have to necessarily pick your favorite dancers (although you can if you want), but, instead you might want to think of listing the dancers who you think are good for the show despite whether you favor them or not…or maybe do both (like I plan to do). In other words, pretend like you are the professional dance caster for the show. Pick 12 dancers (6 ladies and 6 guys). You can even name a couple of more just as an honorable mention in case a celebrity doesn't fit a certain pro and/or they decide to have a bigger cast next Season. Like the Cast Suggestion post, we plan to send this post to ABC in a couple of weeks or when the comments die out, sound good?
Ok, here are my picks to start us out with;
Anna Trebunskaya
Peta Murgatroyd (though if they bring her back, please give her a good partner!)
Kym Johnson
Cheryl Burke
Oksana Dmytrenko (I think it's important to have some new blood every season and I love her hair! 🙂 )
Karina Smirnoff
Honorable Mentions: Dasha Chesnokova (I just love her! She's so passionate!) and Edyta Sliwinska (what I'd give if TPTB were able to bring her back somehow!)
Derek Hough (This guy continues to blow me away with his creativity and talent!!)
Damian Whitewood (This is a must and the fans dream pro. Please bring him back!)
Val Chmerkovskiy (Like Peta, please give him a good partner)
Tristan MacManus
Teddy Volynets (Like Oksana, I think it's important to have some new blood. I loved how he handled Hope this past Season when he filled in for Maks!)
Sasha Farber (Sasha is just waiting at the bit to blow us all away. Let this guy loose!)
Honorable Mentions: Jonathan Roberts (So big hearted just like Anna! I'd love to see him return!) and Maks Chmerkovskiy (I am so on the fence about Maks right now? I like him, but, I'm NOT a fan to some of his behaviors this past Season. He may need to sit out a Season to have a break and re-evaluate which we all need to do sometimes.)
Ok, your turn!! Let your professional dancer choices be heard!!! 😉 xx

I have created a font for the sitelen pona hieroglyphs.
The font is called linja pona, it means "simple line"
With linja pona, I wanted to create a standard font that was simple and that could be read easily at different sizes.
Here's a gallery explaining everything in detail:
As you can see, I implemented compound glyphs, a key feature of the hieroglyphs.
You can download the font here and use it as you want.
It's completely free, you can even modify it if you want.
If you have any suggestions for new compound glyphs or anything else don't hesitate to "toki tawa mi"
Want to see what can be done with linja pona ?
Here's a complete transcription of the little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in sitelen pona:
Here you can find the original translation by Michael F:
I created the linja pona font with the help of jan Wesi's sitelen pona font that you can find here:
So what do you think ? pona ala pona ?

In addition, individual countries may choose to offer additional country-specific features.
For additional information on the revised Support Line offering, including transitioning for current Support Line customers, refer to the Description section of this announcement.
IBM Operational Support Services Support Line
IBM Operational Support Services Support Line is a single integrated remote support offering that supports your operating systems environment across all platforms consistently, in a single contract. This service provides you with remote voice and electronic (where available) assistance from IBM for product-specific, task-oriented questions regarding the installation and operation of currently supported IBM and specified non-IBM operating systems and associated sofware products. The revised Support Line also offers usage and configuration assistance for selected hardware products. IBM Operational Support Services Support Line complements support provided by "Program Services" and Software Maintenance for IBM software products and for selected non-IBM software products.
Base support includes prime shift coverage, where prime shift is defined to be a country's normal business hours, excluding national holidays. The support delivery centers will respond within a target of two hours during prime shift with support being in the national language of the caller's primary support center. If you require support beyond that of prime shift, IBM offers extended/full shift coverage, 24 hours per day, seven days per week for an additional fee at the support group level. During offshift, IBM will aim to respond to your critical, voice submitted problems within two hours.
The stand-alone Support Line contract term is a minimum of one year. If Support Line is included in an integrated services package (for example, ServiceSuite), the Support Line term will be the integrated services package term.
The following are the changes to Support Line effective September 1, 2001:
Support Groups: Support for an operating system and associated products will be sold as a single support group. Support groups may also consist of selected software and hardware products. The support groups available in the revised Support Line offering include:
OS/2 operating system support is now available with the acquisition of a product license including Software Maintenance via Passport Advantage.

Herb-Marinated Roasted Vegetables
5 comments:
A tasty combination! A fantastic idea.ReplyDelete
My abilities in the kitchen are limited but I do make roasted veg so I will definitely try this one.http://theartichokeadventures.blogspot.com/ReplyDelete
Hi Maria, I've just found your blog and subscribed right away. I love roasted veggies too, and can't wait to try out this recipe tonight! Thanks so much for being so inspiring and passionate about healthy eating!ReplyDelete
I just made a big tray of roasted vegetables today...I agree they are the best things ever and you can do a million and one things with the leftovers :) I have never had nutritional yeast...must search for it!ReplyDelete
Love your new artwork! Love roasted vegetables because of the ease of preparation, taste, cost and the ability to change the recipe. Well, to a large our 'season' here is slowly beginning as the salads kind'of 'phase out' and this kind of recipes take their warming place. Thank you!ReplyDelete

Event: Houston 2020
| Team Leader:
Team Fundraising Goal:
| Amount Raised: $5,000.00
Join our team and help us get one step closer to a cure for
cystic fibrosis!
For too long, cystic fibrosis, a rare, genetic disease, has
robbed people of tomorrows – progressively limiting their ability to breathe
and tragically shortening life. There are approximately 30,000 Americans living
with CF. They are moms, dads, sisters, brothers, daughters, sons, friends, and
co-workers who struggle every day in the face of this devasting disease. We
walk in Great Strides for them.
Will you join us?
Great Strides is a fun event that provides a fantastic
opportunity for family, friends, students, and colleagues to come together to
make a difference in the lives of people with CF.
To participate, just click on the "Join our Team"
button. From there, you can make a donation and start fundraising.
By joining our Great Strides team and making a donation, you
will be part of a tenacious and passionate group of people committed to ending
this disease. Together, let's make CF stand for Cure Found!
The Foundation is closely following the evolving coronavirus outbreak. We will continue to monitor coronavirus guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and assess whether we need to change any scheduled events.
To reduce the risk of getting and spreading germs at CF Foundation-sponsored events, we ask that everyone follow basic best practices by regularly cleaning your hands with soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, covering your cough or sneeze with a tissue or your inner elbow, and maintaining a safe 6-foot distance from anyone with a cold or infection. Medical evidence shows that germs may spread among people with CF through direct and indirect contact, as well as through droplets that travel short distances when a person coughs or sneezes. These germs can lead to worsening symptoms and speed decline in lung function.
To further help reduce the risk of cross-infection, the Foundation's attendance policy recommends inviting only one person with CF to attend the indoor portion of a Foundation-sponsored event at a specific time. For the outdoor portion, the Foundation recommends that all people with CF maintain a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times.

The photo is one even non-sports fans remember: Ken Griffey Jr. flashing a huge smile at the bottom of a Mariners pile after they beat the New York Yankees in a 1995 playoff.
The image was taken 17 years ago Monday – Oct. 8, 1995 – by then-P-I photographer Robin Layton.
In the 149-year history of the print and online editions, her image is among a handful of the P-I's best.
Layton left the P-I years ago, but has continued her remarkable success with clients including President Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Aniston and Sidney Poitier. Layton was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, has had work featured in the Smithsonian and has her own photography book, "A Letter to My Dog," which hits shelves in November.
Still a Northwest resident, she's asked all the time about that 1995 Mariners photo when people realize she was the photographer. Earlier this month, she kindly put together the video above telling the behind-the-scenes story of how it came about.
Her video includes images from that game not published until today.
To learn more about Layton's works, click here, or follow this link to her blog. Layton's pictures from "The Double" and the immediate aftermath are in the gallery below.

Comments made this week by open source business intelligence (BI) software provider Jaspersoft Brian Gentile point to some interesting implications for developers working with technologies that have been traditionally very inflexible and brittle. Suggesting that BI has previously suffered badly from hampering rigidities, Gentile says that cloud BI represents a way for software engineers to build reporting and analysis solutions more easily.
A recent IDC survey and presentation, The Maturing Cloud: What the Grateful Dead Can Teach Us About Cloud Economics, April 6, 2010, showed that 50 percent of respondents said it was highly likely they would pursue the public cloud for BI and analytics -- and nearly 70 percent said it was likely they would pursue a private cloud deployment.
Jaspersoft defines a cloud-based BI platform as one that makes use of infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), complements and extends today's platform-as-a-service (PAAS), uses an on-demand, virtualized, elastic software and hardware environment, and delivers application-level functionality as a service (commonly referred to as software-as-a-service).
Gentile says that typically, a cloud-based BI platform is used to solve one of three primary customer needs:
- As a horizontal BI tool: to deliver standalone, internally facing reporting and analysis applications -- probably using a traditional relational database (or data mart) as the primary source data system.
- As an application framework: or pre-built reporting and analysis template for systems integrators to use for assembling customer-specific solutions more quickly. These solutions are probably function- or domain-specific and contain reusable components and application logic (but are assembled uniquely for each customer).
- As a development platform: that enables embeddable, externally-facing applications that solve a function-specific data analysis problem (for example, CRM analytics, financial analytics, or supply chain analytics). In this case, an ISV (or an enterprise IT team with appropriate skills) would probably use the BI platform to deliver reporting and analytics as a well-defined and well-featured layer within its larger application. The result is an analytic application that solves a customer problem with minimal customization and that is ideally delivered using a software-as-a-service architecture on top of a cloud infrastructure.
"Many large enterprises are interested in cloud BI as a horizontal tool to provide a simple, distinct, affordable 'IT sandbox' where software developers can work on project experimentation and evaluation can occur far from the production environment. The organization may also want to use cloud BI to develop and deliver a departmental BI project more quickly and inexpensively than other options. In both cases, avoiding the time and expense of buying and configuring server hardware, operating software, and database software holds a strong appeal and greatly accelerates the evaluation-to-deployment cycle," said Gentile.

The professor as THE Outsider seduces students and destroys morality as we know it. Of all the treatises I have read on the condemning of student professor relationships this one by Kentucky Youth Pastor Kyle McDanell is the most extreme. It does not come from a feminist perspective. I assume that the youth pastor articulating this believes he is coming from an Evangelical Christian perspective. Whatever the underlying theological or ideological framework may be, the good pastor does not hide his utter disgust at the the thought of student-professor intimacies. As he says, the idea of Professor Abramson allowing such things on campus- "that's just gross". For the pastor, Abramson's writing just boils down to justifying sin. And make no mistake about it, he believes having sex with a professor is a sin. As he states- "Thus, man will do everything it can to rationalize, normalize, legalize, and excuse everything; such as, having sex with a professor. Even among "consenting adults."
Justifying student professor intimacies becomes the last straw for this pastor. For him, rationalizing such consensual behavior comes to represent a form of human depravity. In his words- "Has our culture come this far that we can rationalize everything. This is the result of human depravity with postmodernism on top. Postmodernism is essentially make it up as you go. And when it comes to ethics, you can justify anything."
Obviously this pastor has a visceral reaction when it comes to student professor relationships. I have previously argued that such feelings are of the type that occur when there is a violation of a taboo, such as an incest taboo. There is a feeling of utter revulsion and that anyone promulgating such a violation must be dealt with severely. But professor student relationships do not have a history within Christianity of representing such a violation. So it would be reasonable to ask what might be the origins of this revulsion? Such is revealed in the following passage "Liberals, therefore, don't want to be told that any form of sex is wrong; homosexuality, bisexuality, experimenting, multiple partners from multiple genders, transgender, and eventually polygamy, bestiality, and incest. This is how freedom is defined, and you see it in this professors argument. He doesn't want to be told that sex between a student and an adult are wrong."
So when the pastor thinks of student professor relationships he thinks of child adult sex. The professor becomes the child molester because the student cannot be an adult. I believe that this is the default assumption held by many persons going way beyond Christian evangelicals. It goes back to our childhood when the teacher is always the adult and the student is always the child. Many persons just can't get beyond this framework. No matter that the student is 25 or 35 or 55; the student is always a child and always a victim. The idea of student and professor studying and learning together as two adults and loving each other as two adults and as marrying each other as two adults and parenting as two adults just goes beyond the mental capacity of those holding this hardcore default assumption.
And yes, there are other reasons that many persons are threatened by professor student relationships, but in the dankprofessor's opinion, most of these other reasons are age related reasons, eg, the fear of the younger woman taking men from older women, the idea that young women are owned by young men and vice versa.
In this context of age norm violation, the true believer will almost always see the student as child victim, no matter what the age of the adult female student. The infantilizing of female college students is maddening to female students so infantilized. And unfortunately no matter what her protest may be such protests are seen as the cry of a victim who has been brainwashed by her victimizer. Of course, the true believer often presents a veneer that disguises an underlying sexual agenda. And that veneer is grading. But the veneer is thinly veiled not anchored in disgust and anger and fear. The prejudicial grader is not THE Outsider threatening the natural order of things. In fact, as the dankprofessor has previously argued, academics as a whole put little or no value on grading. What grading does in the present context is that it functions as a smokescreen hiding the underlying sexual dread. The professor as outsider is not dreaded as a grader gone awry, but rather as a sexual outsider preying on our children. The professor as a sexual outsider has replaced the homosexual as sexual outsider.
Note the similarity in rhetoric of the Pastor to the rhetoric of the extreme anti-homosexuality of the 1970s. One of the leading 1970s
homophobes was psychoanalyst Abram Kardiner. In 1971 in an open letter to the editor of the American Journal of Psychotherapy he stated:
"Homosexuality cannot make a society, or keep ours going very long. Homosexuality operates against the cohesive elements in society in the name of a fictitous freedom…And no society can long endure when either the child is neglected or the sexes war upon each other."
Essentially Pastor McDanell and those of the anti-homosexual genre of Abram Kardiner see themselves standing at the abyss both fighting The sexual outsider united in a stand that they believe will save our children.
