Photography is, by definition, the art of drawing with light. So it's not surprising that a great part of learning how to to take good photos is learning how to control light. In this section of my contemplative photography lesson plan, I'm going to discuss the three ways your camera helps you to do that. I am not going to talk about flash and external lighting setups, because frankly I have no practical experience with either, except for knowing that the built-in flash on your camera is really only good for giving your daughters glowing red eyes.
If you are shooting with a camera phone or a low-end point-and-shoot that doesn't offer you much beyond auto shooting, I don't know if this will be much help to you. I've taken some great shots with my iPhone 4, but I don't know if there's anyway to control exposure. (I may have to look into it though.)
Learning about exposure typically involves a lot of technical language about things like F-stops, which is the kind of thing used to separate experts from the rest of us. Now, when you look at those experts' photos, you can see that their expertise pays off, but for the new or casual photographer it can be intimidating.
I am not an expert – I just like to take a nice picture once in a while – so I'm going to explain these things to you in the terms I understand them best. If you want to learn more, I encourage you to go out and find other resources who can provide more technical and expert guidance.
There are three basic tools on your camera that let you control light. They are:
- Shutter speed
- Aperture
Shutter speed and aperture control how much light enters through the camera's lens. The ISO setting determines the sensitivity of the sensor, or how much light is actually recorded. (In film photography, ISO is equivalent to film speed, e.g. 100, 200, 400 etc.)
Shutter Speed
Shutter speed is pretty self-explanatory. It determines how long the shutter stays open, or how long it actually takes to snap the picture, and is measured in tenths (or even hundredths) of a second. Most of the time, you want to have a fast shutter, because the longer the shutter stays open, the greater the chance you'll end up with a blurry photo. Your subject moves, your hand wobbles – it doesn't take a great deal of motion to throw your focus out of whack. That's why experienced photographers know to use a tripod when they are working with conditions that might require a long shutter speed (we'll discuss some of those situations in a moment).
If you're shooting in Auto mode, your camera will automatically select a longer shutter speed in low-light settings. You can tell, because the click sound you hear when you push the shutter button actually takes longer. If you're out shooting in the woods, and all your gorgeous tree photos are slightly blurry, then it's probably because the shutter is taking longer to open and close. The two solutions to this problem are: 1) use a tripod; 2) adjust your aperture.
Aperture refers to how wide the shutter actually opens – okay, not actually the shutter, but the hole inside the lens where light enters the camera. The wider the opening, the more light enters the camera at once. It's measured as "f-stops", which I'm not even going to try to define for you. It's enough to say that your camera will have a range of numbers you can choose – mine goes from f/3.5 to f/20. But here's the tricky part: the wider your aperture, the lower the number. So, an aperture of f/6 is open further than an aperture of f/10. That's important, so I'm going to say it again:
The wider your aperture, the lower the f/number.
Okay – so what's the point in being able to raise (close) or lower (open) your aperture? As I already said, it can help compensate in low-light settings, so your shutter speed doesn't get too long. Or conversely, in strong light, raising your aperture can keep your photos from getting over-exposed or washed out. But there are consequences, and those consequences have mostly to do with what photographers call the Depth of Field.
Depth of Field refers to how much of what you are pointing the camera at will be in focus. With a wide aperture (low f-stop), only the subject you're focused on will be sharp, while the background will be blurred. With a narrow aperture, everything in the camera's line of sight will be sharp and clear. This has to do with the angle of light and how it enters the camera and, well, Physics. Don't make me go there.
To summarize (because it can be a little confusing at first):
|Small f/number
|Wide aperture
|Shallow depth of field
|Good for:
|Large f/number
|Narrow aperture
|Wide depth of field
|Good for:
The Magic Dance of Shutter Speed and Aperture
When you understand the interconnected relationship between aperture and shutter speed, you have taken the first major step towards shooting with real artistry. In the most general terms, it's about balancing the light that enters your camera's lens. Raise one value, lower the other, to avoid under- or over-exposing your photograph. Then you can start making adjustments that will really allow your photos stand out from standard auto-set snapshots.
Aperture, in particular, is an easy way to control the final image, creating hazy backgrounds, blurred foliage, or the sparkling bokeh effect of blurred lights that is particularly popular. With a very wide aperture, you can focus tightly on your subject, while background objects fade into swirl of color and shadow.
I shoot almost entirely in aperature-priority mode, which means that I control the depth of field while my camera calculates the appropriate shutter speed for me based on its built in light meter.
You can also choose to shoot in shutter-priority mode, to control the time the shutter stays open. This is useful if you're, for example, shooting animals or sports and you want to have a fast shutter speed to avoid blurring when the subject moves. Or you can lengthen the shutter speed to to create dreamy effects with moving water, or when you want to capture a shallow depth of field in low-light circumstances. (Just be sure to use a tripod.)
If you like a little math, then you can try shooting in full manual mode, which lets you set both the aperture and the shutter speed yourself – you'll need to learn more about f-stops, and how much you'll need to adjust shutter speed for such-and-such a aperture, and vice versa. Personally, that's more than I want to tackle most of the time – contemplative -anything- does not involve math! I'm happy to let my camera handle the hard part.
That ISO Thing
You've doubtless noticed that though I mentioned ISO as the third part of the exposure triangle, I haven't talked about it much yet.
That's because, at least as far as I understand and use it, it's kind of a last-ditch tool for me when it comes to exposure. If I want this shutter speed and that aperture, and my exposure is still too dark, then I raise the ISO to try and compensate. If there a better way to use ISO for artistic purpose, then I'm not familiar with it.
So, there you have the not-so-secret tools you can use to make sure your photos are properly exposed and also artistically interesting. Please feel free to ask questions and point out places where I can improve my descriptions – as I said, I'm no expert, just someone who has learned to muddle my way through the morass of expertise.
Next up in my Contemplative Photography Lesson Plan will be a couple posts about photo composition, so stay tuned!

I've been to Northallerton to find out more about the consultation currently in progress about the future shape of North Yorkshire's archives service.
I am reassured that there's no suggestion of services in Northallerton being curtailed. The problem with collections like these is that most of their contents are unique, and need specialist care, so have to be kept together a central location. Northallerton is more accessibile than anywhere else in the county, but North Yorkshire is large, and east-west travel particularly difficult. Unlike many other record offices, North Yorkshire has commendably maintained a full service through the week. Even so, many North Yorkshire residents are not realistically ever going to manage to get there.
So how to spread the message about what's kept at North Yorkshire RO, beyond the volunteer work and events at Northallerton? The obvious route to reach more people is online, which may mean setting up some virtual activity in libraries in other outposts. NYRO is looking for your ideas.
You're very much encouraged to complete the survey. Archives can be quite a specialist area, but to anyone interested in researching the past, they are vital. It helps to have a good website and more detailed cataloguing - sounds unglamorous, but a thorough online list can save you a long journey, or at least enable a researcher to see that a day out to Northallerton is worth the trip. But please think about what you'd like of an archive - help in uncovering the history of a house or village? Advice available in your locality? Online access to scans of a particular set of documents? Your views are really important. Responding to the survey shows that people are interested. This isn't just restricted to residents of North Yorkshire - anyone is welcome to fill out the survey. This is all our history. Here's the link again.
Talks and other events organised by YAHS and our affiliates.

ICYMI: Hyundai A-League Round 22 wrap
The race for spots in the Hyundai A-League top six continues to heat up following a thrilling round of action across the competition.
Here's what you may have missed from the split Round 22 over the past fortnight.
Western Sydney Wanderers 4-1 Wellington Phoenix
Western Sydney Wanderers remain on course for the Finals Series after Brandon Hamill's second-half brace helped secure a 4-1 home win over Wellington Phoenix on Saturday night.
Hamill broke open a tight encounter at Spotless Stadium by netting twice from corners in the space of 10 second-half minutes before Chris Ikonomidis added further polish late in proceedings.
Brendon Santalab had earlier his seen his opener quickly cancelled out by Sarpreet Singh in the first match of Chris Greenacre's third stint as interim Phoenix coach.
Perth Glory 3-1 Central Coast Mariners
Joel Chianese scored twice as Perth Glory breathed life into their Finals Series hopes in a 3-1 home win over Central Coast Mariners on Saturday night.
Chianese was on target either side of half-time and Xavi Torres curled in a wicked late free-kick to move the hosts within three points of Adelaide United.
Andrew Hoole had cut the deficit with a stunning strike 20 minutes from time, but Torres' effort ended any chance of a Mariners comeback as they remain off the pace in ninth.
Melbourne City 1-2 Melbourne Victory
Victory defeated City 2-1 thanks to a Leroy George winner after a typically full-throttle Melbourne Derby at AAMI Park.
Billed as "The Decider" after each side had won one derby each this season, this clash didn't disappoint with both sets of players throwing themselves into the contest.
The win has put Victory within a point of third-placed City on the ladder.
Newcastle Jets 2-1 Sydney FC
A 10-man Newcastle Jets stoically defied their numerical disadvantage to stun Sydney FC in a spellbinding 2-1 win at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Andrew Nabbout's sensational 30-yard strike sealed Jets' first victory over the Sky Blues since December 2012 after Bobo had cancelled out Dimitri Petratos' penalty.
The hosts had lost Roy O'Donovan to a straight red card inside 15 minutes but somehow found the resolve to delight a boisterous crowd of 18,156.
Brisbane Roar 1-0 Adelaide United
Eric Bautheac's brilliant first-half free-kick boosted Brisbane Roar's Finals Series hopes in a 1-0 win over Adelaide United at Suncorp Stadium.
The French ace netted the only goal shortly before the break to temporarily lift his side within one point of sixth-placed Western Sydney Wanderers.
Adelaide, who welcomed Johan Absalonsen back from injury for the final 30 minutes, were unable to make their opportunities count as Roar held on for a third home win of the campaign.

Sound Traveler: Our view from the stage
Music has rewarded us with gifts beyond measure. Through an open mic at Carolina BBQ in Newland, NC, in 2005, it gave us the opportunity to meet. Music played its part in our growing relationship while we worked together as the Bob & Ellie with Patty trio. In 2010, when Sound Traveler was created and our marriage began, music smiled on us every step of the way. When Sound Traveler became a full-time enterprise in 2012, music gave us the courage to go for it and never look back. In return, we give music everything we have without reservation.
Because of our music, we've watched a 102-year-old lady dance with abandon. A man rose from his wheelchair to dance with a lady who had no legs. A World War II veteran played his fiddle with us one day. A room full of memory care residents came alive at an impromptu dance party.
We've celebrated countless birthdays, including Bob's mom's 90th celebration. We were honored to play a wedding reception where the father of the bride danced with his daughter, his wife, and his mother. We played at a winery as Patty's parents celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. And once we even played in a pasture for a "horsewarming" party.
Children have come up to our stage to sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with us. Classrooms full of students have become energized as we explored the connection between poetry and music. Little ones have bounced and danced while their proud parents beamed. We've serenaded dogs, deer, and cockatoos, and it's all because of music.
As our name implies, we travel to create our sounds. Our home bases are Cape Canaveral (FL) and Avery County (NC), and we regularly visit Orlando, the Tampa Bay area, Gainesville (FL), and Savannah (GA). We've also performed in Japan (Tokyo, Nagoya, Niigata, and Kumamoto), Cuba (Santiago de Cuba), Costa Rica (Nosara and Tamarindo), Nashville (TN) the Netherlands (Den Haag), Tucson (AZ), Boise (ID), and the Washington DC area, and we look forward to adding new destinations to our ever-growing schedule. Wherever we go, we strive to always
Honor the music of the past Celebrate fine contemporary music, and Add our own original creations and arrangements to the diverse mix.
The result is innovative and unique, as we make real, live music using unexpected combinations of instruments (guitar, trumpet, bass, concertina, banjo, harmonica, percussion, melodica, ukulele) and vocals. Tracks (previously recorded music), looping devices, and songbooks are never used. The genres we cover also express our eclectic nature: expect to hear classic rock/pop/country tunes, classy standards, light jazz, folk, traditional, gospel, and even some originals in a typical Sound Traveler performance.
We've had the distinct pleasure of playing over 2300 shows (and counting) since 2010, and the view from our stage gets better and better every day. Whether your special event is for an intimate restaurant or a festival in a city park, it would be our privilege to provide you with top-quality musical entertainment!
About Bob Tatum… From almost as far back as Bob can remember, music and singing has been like breathing – something that he did because it brought life. Whether he was banging out tunes on an old out-of-tune upright piano or picking out melodies on a cheap, hard-to-play guitar at his home in Savannah, Georgia, music was always his soundtrack for existence, connecting deeply to his soul. Bob played in several groups including Shalom, Sunset, and Echoes & Shadows before moving to North Carolina in the mid-1980s. He wrote and performed in an original Christian musical entitled Breath Like a Wind which was presented in the Western North Carolina area for three seasons. Later, Bob became a founding member of Crossties, an acoustic quartet that featured close harmonies, reminding many of Peter, Paul and Mary. Throughout much of the past two decades, Bob teamed up with the incomparable vocalist Ellie Hjemmet to establish the well-respected group Bob & Ellie and its variant Bob & Ellie with Patty. Bob plays lead guitar, banjo, and harmonica while adding lead and harmony vocals. Since moving to Cape Canaveral in 2010, Bob has focused his musical energies exclusively on Sound Traveler. Bob has an original Christmas song that was released on the CD Christmas in the Mountains Volume III, and other songs that he both co-wrote and performed with Sound Traveler are on Christmas in the Mountains Volumes IV, V, VI, and VII & Music in the Mountains Volumes I and II.
About Patty Kunze Tatum… Growing up in Orlando, Florida, Patty can't remember a time when she didn't have a musical soundtrack running 24/7 in her head. After performing as a trumpet player in two Up With People casts (North America and Europe) and a jazz orchestra (Nagoya, Japan), she picked up the guitar and co-founded a contemporary Christian acoustic duo called Beautiful Day which performed at various events around Florida. When she joined forces with Bob and Ellie in the spring of 2007, she discovered her love for the bass guitar. She also plays trumpet, concertina, melodica, and percussion while adding lead and harmony vocals. When they're not on the road, Patty and Bob divide their time between Cape Canaveral, Florida, and Avery County, North Carolina. Patty loves to travel and make music more than just about anything, and she is looking forward to wherever life with Bob and Sound Traveler takes her in the years to come. Patty published a novel called Cruising Alaska Tropical Style in 2015, which is available on Amazon and at Sound Traveler performances. Her personal motto: "Live, love, dance, laugh, make music!"

These images are part of a larger series, Family Stories, which was broken into several different sets of work and included multiple photo-based approaches as well as an installation piece. The series as a whole, explores our ideas of family, memory and identity. Each family has a deeply ingrained set of mythologies. Some come from society, such as our ideas of the perfect home, wife, husband or mother. While others start from within, as we believe the people around us can be explained by their place in our stories - yet both of these approaches rarely speak to the true complexities of life and identity. With these images I am seeking to explore family through the understanding of personal and cultural memories and their relationship to identity.

How the Bookies See it
- Winner: Vinales 2/1, Marquez 4/1, Rossi 5/2, Pedrosa 9/1 – Sky Bet
Having won the opening two races of the campaign, Maverick Vinales was back on top of the podium in France with a convincing win for his Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team. This has allowed him to open up a 17-point lead in the overall standings, but he has struggled at this track in recent years, only finishing seventh in 2015 and sixth in 2016.
After a somewhat slow start to his campaign, Dani Pedrosa's recent form has seen him move up to second in the title race. He first reached the podium with a third place finish in America in Race 3, before winning Race 4 in Spain and then recording another third position in France last time out. He now races at a circuit where he has finished fourth for the last three years, but he did win here back in 2010.
Italian MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi has dropped down to third in the standings after failing to finish in France two weeks ago. He had been a major doubt for this race after a motocross training accident, but has since passed a medical and been declared fit to ride. However, with injury concerns still hanging over him, his chances of winning in front of a home crowd look remote.
Sports.net's View
Despite his poor record at Mugello, it's hard to dismiss Maverick Vinales after winning three of the five races this season. A big race is also expected from the in-form Dani Pedrosa, who looks to be a good price at 9/1 at Bet365 to snatch the win on this happy hunting ground.
Spaniard Jorge Lorenzo might be sitting down in ninth-place in the standings after just one podium finish this season, but his record in the Gran Premio d'Italia Oakley is incredible. Since 2009 he has raced here every year and never finished outside of the top two positions. This included wins between 2011-2013, and then again in each of the last two years. At a price of 14/1 at Sky Bet he is a great each-way bet.
- Sports.net's Top Tip: Lorenzo to win the Italian MotoGP at 14/1 with Sky Bet (bet each way)

Noble Automotive Ltd., more commonly known simply as Noble, is a British sports car manufacturer.
It was established in 1999 by Lee Noble in Leeds, West Yorkshire, for producing high-speed sports cars with a rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Lee Noble was the chief designer and owner of Noble. He sold the company in August 2006. He resigned from the company in February 2008 and announced his new venture, Fenix Automotive in 2009.The company has since moved to larger premises at Meridian Business Park near Leicester.
Noble is a low-production British sports car company, its past products include the M12 GTO, M12 GTO-3, M12 GTO-3R and Noble M400. The M12 GTO-3R and M400 share chassis and body, but have minor differences in engines and suspensions. The M15 has a new space frame chassis. The body and chassis of the Noble is built by Hi-Tech Automotive in Port Elizabeth, South Africa alongside Superformance cars. Once the body shell is completed, it is sent to the Noble factory where the engines, transmissions, etc. are added.
In 2009 Noble released the M600, a car which takes Noble into hyper-car territory. With 650BHP available from its purpose built 4.4 litre V8 twin turbocharged engine, the carbon fibre, light weight bodied car is aimed firmly at the established Ferrari/Porsche brands. Deliveries to customers are expected mid-2010. The retail price is GBP 200,000
Only 220 Noble GTO-3Rs and M400s were imported to the U.S. They are the only Nobles available to the American market. The U.S. distribution rights to the M12s and M400s were sold in February 2007 to 1G Racing from Ohio. Due to high demand of these cars, 1G released its own copy, named Rossion Q1.

The Full 90
KC's not-so-glorious cameo in Sports Illustrated
I am a Joe Posnanski fan. I'd say this even if we didn't once have the same name signed on our paychecks. He's easily one of the three biggest writing influences for me. (And, it's worth noting that when I walked into the press box a month ago during the Kansas City Wizards-Los Angeles Galaxy match and saw him sitting there, I was a wee bit starstruck.)
Unfortunately, the city that he was based in (and still lives in I believe) makes an unglamorous cameo inhis Sports Illustrated profile of Landon Donovan
. Judge for yourself.
Landon Donovan cannot move. Well, this is Kansas City. Nobody can move. The Wizards' field is the bane of American soccer. Carved into a minor league baseball stadium, CommmunityAmerica Ballpark, it's way too short and way too narrow. Playing here, as Los Angeles Galaxy coach Bruce Arena will say, is like playing big league baseball with the bases 75 feet apart. The field smothers creativity. There is no open space. There are no clear angles. It is soccer in a Chevy Equinox.
Landon Donovan cannot breathe. No, really. He has bronchitis. His cough makes his sides hurt. A cold Midwestern rain falls, and the pitch is mud, and the lights shine at an odd angle, and an April wind blows right through him. The announced crowd is 10,045. Reality demands that number be cut in half.
The only part of those two opening paragraphs that bother me? The fact that he (a KC guy who writes an annual "Hey, maybe this is the Royals year" column) doesn't once mention (even in parentheses) the fact that a new stadium is being built mere feet from where he was sitting to write this column. (That's just journalism 101.)
As for the shots on the small, creativity-sapping stadium that the Wizards (for now) call home? He's just using the minor league and shoddy settings as a backdrop to tell the story of how far Landon Donovan has come as a person and a professional. To great affect, I believe. (After this summer, we won't have this conversation any more.)
Though, this paragraph might be slightly uncalled for:
The Wizards and the Galaxy will play a dreadful scoreless draw that could spark three days' worth of "soccer is dull and un-American" talk radio. Fortunately there is no talk radio show host within miles of the place.
That game was dreadful in scoreline alone. There was more action and excitement in those 90 minutes than 85 percent of Royals games. Let's just be glad Poz didn't have the time to discuss Kei Kamara's miss during that game. He might be the first journalist to write about the Kansas City Wizards who
mention the "MLS Miss of the Century."
If you can get past the supposed "pot shots", the article is quite good. Posnanski will be in South Africa for the World Cup and I, personally, can't wait to read what he has to say. Whether it's good or bad.

Steady Love
today's reading.
Jonah 1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me"...
the blog.
Whenever I read the account of Jonah I inevitably find myself shaking my head—for two different reasons. First, because I'm irritated with Jonah, but then in amazement with God. Jonah was disobedient and outright defiant. As I see it, he was a total jerk to God. So how did God respond? With unwavering love. How awesome is that?!?
So what did Jonah's story reveal to you about God? Tami W.

OTTAWA: Canada's energy sector could find itself more favored than other industries when it comes time to renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, Canadian Minister of Natural Resources Jim Carr said on Thursday.
Carr is currently on a four-day trip to Mexico to meet his counterparts in the Mexican government and strengthen the two countries' business ties.
Asked whether the energy industry could get a more favorable role than other parts of the economy in NAFTA renegotiations, Carr said, "I think that's a real possibility."
Carr told reporters that Canada will continue to make the case that the integration of the energy sector is in the best interest of all three governments.
"I think the energy sector is one of those where the integration argument and the mutual benefit can be well advanced by Canada," said Carr.
Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump signed orders to clear the way for TransCanada's Keystone XL oil pipeline to be built, which would ship crude from the Alberta oil sands to the U.S. Gulf.
Carr said that was a case where "what's good for one country is good for the other."
The prospect of renegotiating or tearing up NAFTA has raised worries about the Canadian economy, with 75 percent of its exports going to the United States.
On renegotiating NAFTA as a whole, Carr said that until there is more clarity on what the United States plans to bring to the table, Canada will continue to establish relationships both in the United States and Mexico.
Trump reiterated his concerns about the three-country trade deal earlier on Thursday and said he would like to speed up talks to either renegotiate or replace the deal.

Wildlife Safari
"In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous," said Aristotle and it is nature that we at Wild Tracks are passionate about. Nothing can prepare you for the impact of connecting with the landscapes of southern Africa and its myriad of wildlife. This is the cradle of mankind and its primal voice simply speaks to you.
We have been dedicated to finding the best appointed lodges, committed to conservation and providing quality service. As a contrast experience we have added tented camps where unique animals can be found, such as the desert rhino and elephant in Namibia. All our safaris are taken in spacious 4×4 Land Cruisers with optimum opportunities for game watching.
Mobile camping, another of our passions, takes you to the very heart of the African bush. The camps are set up by a group of skilled staff and are ready and waiting for you after a glorious day looking for birds and game.
All our safaris are accompanied by some of the finest guides that will open your eyes to a new and unforgettable world.
To sit around the embers of a crackling fire, sundowner in hand, listening to the sounds of the night perhaps the call of a distant hyena and the adventures of that day will make life worth living.

A client running an historic bed and breakfast inn contacted me because he wasn't sure where he was at with his website and he hired me to take a look at what was going on. He told me that he had hired a web designer that was working on a new website for him, but he wasn't happy with the way his website was turning out.
Once I got access to the web server, I found out that he actually had three different websites all working on the same domain name. One of these was an existing WordPress website that was built several years ago in the root directory. The second website was a separate WordPress blog that the previous owners had started on a subdomain. The third website was the new one that the web designer was building in the root directory. It was built on a different CMS platform, (one that I was not familiar with) and the client said it was very clunky and hard to work with. His web game was a mess.
The other problem with this, was that he had three different websites (subdomains and root URLs) showing up in Google from one domain name, which was hindering his search engine optimization efforts.
After I figured out what was going on with all of this, I told him that I could merge all three websites into one for him. So I took the existing previous WordPress website updated it and imported the old WordPress blog posts from the previous owner's blog on the subdomain into it. Finally, I merged the content from the third website, the one that the new web designer had been working on for him into that single updated WordPress install.
He told me he wanted to preserve the look and feel of the new website the web designer was building for him because he liked the way it looked. I used a highly customizable responsive design WordPress theme which enabled me to quickly replicate the look and feel he wanted. The responsive theme made it so his website would work great on all different mobile devices. Having a mobile-friendly website is important to him because his customers are travelers that are using their phones and tablets while on the go.
I also had to straighten out the search engine indexing issues by redirecting all the old the URLs to their new locations on the final website. This was done with both .htaccess file redirects and a WordPress plugin.
The turnaround time on this project was two days start to finish. The client was left with one easy to manage mobile-friendly website that included all the content from all three of the previous websites.

Unless you're talking about my boy Marc with a C.
Forgoing the hipster haircuts and impromptu dance numbers that seem all the rage in current Kickstarter information vids, Marc instead went the classic route; he captioned a telenovela.
You got all that, right?
The long and short of it is Marc needs some extra cash to have a painstakingly remastered version of his 2007 opus Normal Bias pressed on vinyl, which any music geek will tell you is the way music was meant to be heard. To that end he is asking for a hand-up, not a hand-out… Wait, no.
Okay, he is asking for a handout, but the payoff is actually pretty sweet. A donation of just 5 bones gets you early access to the digital version of this newly polished album, and bigger spenders can score everything from ultra-rare concert DVDs and personalized CDs to Normal Bias test pressings and his old recording rig. For realsies.
I think you'll agree that it's a more than fair deal. So, if you've got a couple of bucks lying around, why not toss some scratch at your favorite lo-fi popper's favorite lo-fi popper?

The Active 20-30 Club US & Canada develops leaders and serves the needs of children in nearly 50 clubs coast-to-coast. Each chapter or club is locally run by a volunteer board of directors and members focused on serving the unique needs of their local communities.
Every club has its own particular focus, whether it's fundraising or community service, but each has a common goal to improve the quality of life for the youth of the community.
It's not all "business" in Active 20-30, though. Our members also like to have fun and build friendships across the organization. This is why social and networking events play a large part in making Active 20-30 US & Canada the service organization for young professionals.
National Motto: Youth, to be served, must serve.
Mission Statement: Providing young adults with an opportunity for personal growth, friendship, and leadership development while improving the quality of life for the special needs of children in our community.
Slogan: One never stands so tall as when kneeling to help a child.
The Emblem: The original emblem selected for Active International was the buzz saw- Even when motionless, as it is on the emblem, it has the appearance of movement. The buzz saw represents the usefulness of intense activity and the abundant energy of responsible youth, means power, strength, and progress.
The original emblem of 20-30 International was an hourglass, symbolizing the passage of time and the need of young man to take advantage of his time and energy for useful activities. Around this hourglass, there were four "S". The four "S" have a double significance, since these were the initials of the first four 20-30 clubs (Sacramento, Stockton, San Bernardino, and San Francisco), and they also form the initials of the original slogan "Sincerity in Service, our Slogan for Success"
History of International Organization:
Active 20-30 has a rich history of serving our communities and developing leaders in our local communities. It began by realizing a need that wasn't being served by existing service organizations. It has evolved with our members and with the times, creating some fun-filled traditions along the way.
Realizing the Need:
Active 20-30 International had its beginnings in 1922 when young men in two widely separated communities of the United States saw the need for a service club for young men. They found that established service clubs were dominated by older men, run by older men, and whose officers were invariably much older men. This realization led those groups of ambitious young men to stray away from existing groups and organize a club of their own. These clubs shared the ideal that young men would have a chance to engage actively in service to their communities; where young ideas, backed by enthusiasm and the energy of youth, could share in civic responsibilities on an equal basis with clubs composed of older men.
These pioneers of young men's service clubs simultaneously created two virtually identical clubs: Active, located in Aberdeen, Washington, and 20-30, formed in Sacramento, California.
The clubs became international, in name and location, with the chartering of clubs in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Juarez, Mexico between 1929 and 1933. Both the 20-30 International and Active International associations were charter members of the World Council of Young Men's Service Clubs (WOCO). John Armenia, Joe Crowe and Arnie Scheldt of Active and Dr. James Vernetti, Henry Heyl and Ray Fletcher of 20-30 were among those who fostered the World Council movement up to its formal beginning in 1945.
Merging Ideas & Resources:
In 1959, President Norm Morrison of 20-30 International and President Ken Helling of Active International, exchanged a letter renewing the long standing proposal that these two identical young men's service clubs should merge.
Between 1959 and 1960, meetings were held between the two groups, culminating in the proposed Constitution and Resolution to be presented to the 1960 Conventions of each organization. In addition to Morrison and Helling, Jack Kummert, Doug Martin and Clint McClure of 20-30, and Victory W. "Bill" Smith, Owen Barnes and Jim Robertson of Active participated in the early negotiations.
In 1960, the 20-30 International Convention was held in Santa Cruz, California. The delegates unanimously adopted the merger proposal and the Constitution. One month later, the delegates at the Active International Convention in Calgary, Alberta, also unanimously adopted the propositions. Therefore, on August 1, 1960, Active International and 20-30 International became the Active 20-30 International.
While the mechanics of the merger were being formulated, each organization maintained its separate administrative structure, officers and National Office through its convention year. In October 1960, the first combined magazine, Active 20-30 made its appearance. The first convention of Active 20-30 International was held in Tucson, Arizona, July 10-14, 1961, where the Constitution and bylaws were officially adopted.
By the late 1960's, the presence of the organization had become so large throughout California, that Governor Ronald Regan declared February 20-26, 1967 "Active 20-30 Week."
The Creation of Active 20-30 US & Canada:
In 1981, a proposal was put forth to the membership to allow for National Associations in Active 20-30 International. In 1982, the Active 20-30 United States and Canada, Inc., was formed with its National Office in the building on 1915 I Street, Sacramento, California. Arnie Krogh of Sacramento served as its first National President. In 1996, the National Office was moved over to 915 L Street in Sacramento, California, where Nossaman LLP, a professional association management team managed the association through January 2013. Sterling Strategic Management commenced the management of Active 20-30 US & Canada on February 1st, 2013.
International Affiliations:

Sarah Kate Ellis LGBTQ Pride Personal Essay
Why Togetherness Is Vital to Protecting LGBTQ Rights
My first Pride parade was in 1996 in New York City. I was there with my best friend and I had recently come out to my family as LGBTQ but was not out professionally. It was electric — standing on Fifth Avenue with thousands of my LGBTQ family. I felt this unbelievable excitement that I was finally at Pride, but also incredibly nervous that I would see someone from my job and that I would be outed.
Pride has always been an important time to me. Growing up in a less accepting time, I know the power of LGBTQ people from all walks of life coming together is inspiring and refreshing. But most importantly, it is a time to be visible. For the LGBTQ community to stand up and be counted, because all too often we are ignored, erased and vilified.
The first Pride parades were held in 1970, the year following the famous Stonewall Riots. 1970 was a very different time for LGBTQ people and Pride served as part protest and part celebration. When I started going to Pride parades in 1996, things were better, but there was still much to fight for. And as time went on, the LGBTQ community saw improvements — like marriage equality and the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. In recent years, Pride felt more like a celebration of our big wins (and it felt like there were more on the horizon) and a bit less like a protest.
We've come a long way since the first Pride parade and that is reason to celebrate. But something is different this time around. The past few years, the leadership of this country helped advance LGBTQ acceptance and equality by leaps and bounds. But the wind is no longer at our back.
We are facing the most anti-LGBTQ administration in history, and this year Pride must take on the essence of years past. Make no mistake; the LGBTQ community in this country is under attack. There is no mention of us on the White House website, we will not be in the upcoming census, and guidance surrounding trans student protections have been reversed — and this has all happened less than 100 days into this administration.
But nobody is just one thing — I'm gay, I'm a woman, I'm a mum and I'm wife. We all live at different intersections of our identities and when one identity is under attack, they all are. Which is why this Pride season, GLAAD is urging everyone to join the Together movement. Together is about locking arms with all groups who are under attack from the current administration — to fight for everyone to be accepted and free to be exactly who they are. This rallying point is symbolised by an "&," because all of us are those multiple identities, and every single one of us has the right to be treated with dignity and equality in all of our communities. The "&" means that our differences don't divide us; they unite us and make us stronger.
It is vital that we don't allow ourselves to be divided and that all marginalised groups lock arms and stand together. Because together, we will resist, persist, and prevail.

The Glee star Lea Michele will sing "America is Beautiful" before the Super Bowl XLV kick-off according to Reuters. We already reported that Christina Aguilera will perform the national anthem.
As reported a special episode of Glee will air right after the Super Bowl.
The special Super Bowl Glee episode will feature a mash-up version of Michael Jackson's song Thriller performed by the Glee cast. Thriller will be mixed with an announced song.
Glee, launched in 2009, is about high school kids in a show choir. The show is wildly popular and this week episode had Gwyneth Paltrow in it.

Truck Accident Attorney in Pensacola
Learn About Your Legal Options Courtesy of The Watson Firm
Were you injured in a trucking accident? Under Florida personal injury law, you may be entitled to compensation for monetary damages, past medical expenses, wage loss, inconvenience, out of pocket expenses, and pain and suffering. The Watson Firm represents clients injured in trucking accidents in Pensacola, Fort Walton, Cantonment, and surrounding communities.
Our experienced truck accident lawyer stands ready to pursue justice and compensation for your injuries. Call now to get started.
Who Is Liable for a Trucking Accident in pensacola?
Trucking accident cases tend to be more complicated than car accidents, mainly due to the number of possible liable parties. Because these incidents involve commercial vehicles, as well as drivers and companies who are held to stricter standards than ordinary motorists, trucking accidents can have multiple liable parties.
Depending on the circumstances of the accident, any of the following parties may be responsible:
- The truck driver
- The company that owns or leases the truck
- The shipping company
- The manufacturer of the vehicle
- The supervisor on duty
At The Watson Firm, PLLC, we work to hold the liable parties accountable for your injuries. Trucking accidents often have devastating consequences, due to the sheer size and weight of these massive vehicles. Often, collisions with passenger vehicles can lead to severe injuries, including catastrophic injuries and death. If you're dealing with mounting medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income, or even the loss of your loved one, our firm can help.
Steps to Take Immediately After an Accident
The first thing you should do after a truck accident is to seek medical attention at the hospital, urgent care clinic, or with your doctor. Truck accidents involve extreme forces, but an increase in adrenaline immediately following the accident can mask serious injuries. It is always best to get checked by a medical professional to make sure you are okay.
The next thing to do is contact law enforcement immediately and gather and preserve evidence. This includes getting the name and contact information of any witnesses, taking pictures of the accident scene, vehicle damage, and any other evidence.
Learn more about your rights under Florida law with a free consultation with our Pensacola truck accident attorney. Call (850) 403-4779 for an appointment.

In recent weeks, I've been splitting my time between large pieces and ATCs, with some art journals stuck in the middle there. My favorite 'on the side' art endeavor is art journaling, working in altered books, signatures, or full on sketchbooks traded back and forth with other artists. I'm hosting several of my own swaps on artfortytwo.org, of a signature trading variety (cheaper than mailing entire books, and you can bind your own into a cool artist book later).

I could use this blog-thing for some sketchbook stuff that I'm finally producing again (rather slowly I must add).. So here's my awesome test post with some deco entries.
My entry for the Detective theme at Illustration Friday. This one is done with ink and markers. Pretty standard, I know... but I was having a bad idea day.
I have no idea what this is all about. It might be cool. Maybe we will leave it active and see how it goes.

Just a friendly PSA that Puppet 3.x reached its end of life 1053 days ago. I suggest upgrading to an LTS release for access to bug fixes and security updates after December 31, 2016.

It seems that when the Jews were finally freed from slavery and left Egypt, they had neither the time to let their bread rise nor to write blog posts. It's been a week without blogging or hametz and frankly I've quite missed both. I had the pleasure of spending Passover with my family in Florida, but it was a busy trip and I prioritized my dissertation in the sporadic hours I found myself free of familial responsibilities.
As I have steadily worked on my first chapter, I continue to pilot my writing checklist. I've had the most success with step one, eliminating distractions, and surprisingly also with step four, documenting my progress. It's been helpful to summarize and synthesize the day's work, because the next day I have a great reminder of where to begin.
Step two has been the most difficult. I've struggled to articulate "reasonable and meaningful" goals each day. In fact, I've mostly skipped this step and thus had to forgo step five, reward. I experimented with time goals (ex: write for 3 hours) and with completion goals (ex: finish a particular section). The former was often too ambitious and not commensurate with the daily variations in my stamina; the latter was tricky to adhere to because I tend to restructure sections as I write. Although I was inconsistent about setting a timer, which was step three on the checklist, I found that with the timer I was more likely to continue writing past the point when I felt like quitting.
I've thus created a second draft of the checklist that matches writing tasks to my attention span. Instead of selecting a completion goal or setting an arbitrary number of hours I want to work, I will instead divide my available work time into a number of Pomodoro cycles ("pomodori") and assign a general task to each one. For example, I could choose to do three pomodori of 25 minutes each separated by 5 minute breaks. In the first I could commit to re-reading and editing the previous days' writing, in the second I could outline the next paragraph, and in the third I could read the secondary literature on that topic.
I will report back next week on whether these revisions inspire more productive writing sessions or, conversely, have the unintended consequence of promoting productive procrastination.

The Sustainability of Serbian Broadcast Media in Kosovo (August 2010)
This paper analyzes the landscape of the current Serbian-language broadcast media in Kosovo by employing interview methodology along with third-party research from various international organizations. I conducted interviews with local media professionals as well as organizational spokespersons in charge of initiatives for Serbian-language media development in Kosovo. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether or not Serbian-language media in Kosovo is capable of sustainable development. I focus specifically on broadcast media, as it is the medium where the majority of funding from the international community is going. Also according to all of those I interviewed, it is also the journalistic platform with the best chance for viability in the country.
Paper available upon request.
