The New England First Amendment Coalition is seeking applications for a pair of annual awards to recognize both private citizens and professional journalists who aggressively advance the people's knowledge of what government is doing – or failing to do – on their behalf.
Help support NEFAC's New England First Amendment Institute on #GivingTuesday
Until December 27, we will be accepting contributions through Indiegogo to help grow our New England First Amendment Institute. Our goal is to raise $10,000. This money will help us better educate journalists throughout the region and improve the institute's programming. With just about a month remaining in our campaign, we are nearly one-fifth of the way there.
Indiegogo campaign underway to fund New England First Amendment Institute
NEFAC has launched its first crowdfunding effort on the Indiegogo website to advance our cause of offering high quality training to New England journalists.
NEFAC seeks support in 2013 appeal
If you're motivated to give now to support NEFAC's work spreading the gospel of open government, go to our special annual appeal site for the perks available from our partners across New England for a modest donation.

Maybe it's self indulgent but I sometimes wonder where the clean-lined design obsession began - pre RO bags ? It's fascinating to think about these things…or maybe it's just me being overly contemplative and analytical... My immediate family was not particularly artisticly inclined or modern design-minded. My parents' passion while I was growing up was travel, food/wine, different cultures …Of course I love those things too and they shaped me in a huge way as well. I suppose our life's passions are a mix of different experiences that resonate with us - nature and nurture combined. This brings me to my long and rambling point about the nurture part of my childhood design influence. Just earlier this year via Facebook I re-connected after 20 years with my long lost elementary school best friend Tracy Fong. The reunion brought back so many amazing and happy memories of spending time with her family at their house. You can see the picture of 1500 Lombardy Road in Pasadena posted here on my blog. This is the house that Tracy Fong's father – architect Miller Fong designed and had built for his family in 1977.

It's the oddest thing: Whenever I am stressed the same dream recurs – the setting might vary but the theme is the same. Last night I dreamt I was walking around on vacation, shopping, and I somehow lost my handbag. The fact that this recurring dream is one of the worst scenarios my subconscious can drum up is somewhat telling of the modern day neurosis.

While normally I have the Blogger Spotlight feature on Fridays, we are interupting our regularly scheduled posting to bring you not one, but two recipes that you can put on your Cinco de Mayo menu for tomorrow. And if you are in Utah, I'll be making these today on KUTV's Fresh Living at 1pm!
Let's start with these empanadas. I know, I know. When I say "empanada", this is not what you picture. I can already hear you saying – "aren't they supposed to be half moon shaped, and made from a pastry dough? And aren't they usually filled with savory ingredients?" True, true. That is what a traditional empanada is. But these aren't traditional. These empanadas are actually a knock off of a dessert empanada that is sold at a fast food Mexican restaurant. And I love them. I can't remember the last time I bought one of these, but I have always wanted to try making them at home. And guess what? They are super easy, and just as tasty!!
They are as simple as a flour tortilla, filled with pie filling, fried, and then rolled in cinnamon sugar. I find that with fried, rolled things like this, it is best if they are made and then refrigerated for awhile before you fry them. It just helps the whole thing to stay together better. Which is why these would be so easy to whip up tonight, and then fry tomorrow. But if you want them now, they still work beautifully if you prepare them and fry them all in one go. And they are super adaptable. Don't like cherry? Try a different flavor! A perfect dessert for your Cinco de Mayo party!
And don't forget the drink! I don't drink alcohol, but that is not a reason to not have a festive drink for the holiday! These frozen margaritas come together in just minutes, and both kids and adults would love them! They are a bit tart from the lime and a bit bitter from the grapefruit juice, but combined with the sugar-rimmed glass, it all just came together perfectly. I can't tell you how it compares to an actual margarita, but I know I'd be happy sipping one of these alongside my tacos and chips and salsa!
And if you need more ideas for Cinco de Mayo, don't forget to check out my 47 favorites!
Cherry pie filling is wrapped in a flour tortilla, fried, and rolled in cinnamon sugar for a decadent dessert.
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 (21-oz) can cherry pie filling
- vegetable oil, for frying
- Sweetened whipped cream, for serving
- In a shallow dish, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
- Lay the tortillas out on a work surface. Put about 1/4 cup of filling down the center of each tortilla. Fold the ends in, then roll up like a burrito. Make sure they are rolled tightly. Lay seam side down on a baking sheet. (At this point, you can refrigerate them. It makes them a little easier to fry, but it's not required.)
- Heat about 3/4" of oil to 350F in a heavy duty skillet or Dutch oven. Once hot, add the empanadas, 2 or 3 at a time, to the oil. Cook until browned on one side, then turn to brown the other side. When browned, immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then place on a clean plate. Continue until all empanadas are cooked.
- Serve with sweetened whipped cream.
An easy recipe for non-alcoholic frozen margaritas.
- Lime wedge
- coarse sugar
- 1 (6-oz) can frozen limeade concentrate
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 2/3 cup unsweetened grapefruit juice
- 4 cups ice cubes
- Rub the edge of margarita glasses with the lime wedge. Dip rims in the coarse sugar.
- In a blender, combine the limeade concentrate, orange juice, unsweetened grapefruit juice and ice cubes. Blend until slushy. Serve in the margarita glasses.

(1953, Max Ophüls) As a pair of diamond earrings pass from husband to madame to moneylender to husband to mistress to lover, fin de siècle high society is exposed amid Ophüls' swirling camerawork, while "the performances by Danielle Darrieux as Madame De..., Charles Boyer as her husband, and Vittorio de Sica as her lover are quite likely the finest each has given" (Pauline Kael). Approx. 105 min. 35mm.
"Madame de... may be Ophuls' most subtle and perfect weaving of a Viennese tapestry with purely French threads and colors."
– Edgrado Cozarinksy, Rediscovering French Film
"The Earrings of Madame De... is miraculously unscathed. The movie is gem-hard, crystalline, and superbly impervious."
– J. Hoberman
"Perfection. Ophüls' lush, decorative style, his recreation of a vanished elegance, and his darting, swirling camera are used to evoke the protection that style and manners and wealth provide, and to demonstrate that passion can destroy it all."
– Pauline Kael
"My all-time favorite film." – Andrew Sarris

By Steve Mistler email@example.com
State House Bureau
AUGUSTA — Secretary of State Matt Dunlap has appointed a new small business advocate.
Dunlap, a Democrat, selected Peggy Schaffer to become the office's Small Business Advocate. Schaffer, who served as the legislative liaison for Department of Economic and Community Development, will replace Jay Martin. Martin had been selected by Republican Secretary of State Charlie Summers.
Summers created the small business advocate position. The advocate, an appointed position, serves at the pleasure of the secretary of state, who is elected by the Legislature.
House Republicans blasted Dunlap's decision, saying Schaffer had "no business experience."
Rep. Amy Volk, R-Scarborough, said in a statement that Dunlap's pick appeared to be "political patronage or favoritism." The Maine Republican Party also blasted Schaffer, citing critical comments that she had made from her Twitter account about Gov. Paul LePage and a Republican lawmaker.
"I'm being criticized by the Maine Republican Party, what a surprise," Dunlap said.
Dunlap said he wasn't concerned about Schaffer's previous statements about the governor or other Republicans. Dunlap said that Schaffer's had the right to make those comments, but that she would have to be less partisan now.
"She works for me now and this office is committed to doing its work in a nonpartisan way," Dunlap said.
Dunlap said Schaffer brought a "wealth of experience in state government and economic development" to the position.
"This experience makes her a perfect choice to assist small businesses in Maine with any regulatory issues they have in dealing with state agencies," he added.
Schaffer, served as the chief of staff for Senate President Libby Mitchell in the 124th Legislature and the Senate Democratic Office for the 123rd Legislature. Schaffer worked for the Department of Economic and Community Development for eight years. Dunlap credited her developing several programs, including the Maine Rural Development Authority, Maine Microenterprise Initiative, and the Maine Technology Incubator program. She was also involved with programs at the Maine Technology Institute, the Research and Development Evaluation and Maine Technology Asset Fund.
Schaffer has a Bachelor of Science in Public Administration from the University of Maine at Augusta, and a MBA from Thomas College.
Dunlap, in his statement, praised Martin for his work.

ORU Falls in Season Finale, 5-2
With the loss, ORU's season ends at 1-15, with an 0-5 Summit League mark.
Gutierrez took down SDSU's Justin Pyle in the top flight, 6-2, 6-1, and Allen raced past Dominic Rossetto at the second spot, 6-3, 6-4.
But SDSU (7-13, 2-3 Summit League) won the other five points, starting with two doubles victories. Gutierrez and Nathaniel Avery lost a barn burner to James Thorp and Parker Lawley, 9-8 (7-5), and Pyle and Rossetto knocked off Allen and Pedro Moreno, 8-3.
At No. 3 singles, Lawley earned a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Moreno, and Thorp won his fourth flight match, 6-1, 6-0, over Avery.
At the fifth spot, Alejandro Marin beat ORU's Matthew Prevost, 6-2, 6-3. The Jackrabbits also took the sixth court by default.
The 2012 Summit League Championship begins next week in Kansas City.

The Specac Spectroelectrochemical Transmission Cell is a demountable UV/Vis/NIR/IR liquid cell that encompasses an optically-transparent thin-layer electrode (OTTLE) structure to facilitate electrochemical spectroscopic measurements. The cell comprises two CaF2 windows separated by a 100 or 200 micron sample layer, where gold grid working electrode and counter electrodes, and a silver reference electrode, are photolithographically imprinted on surface of the front window in contact with the sample. Grid structures with a period of 5.5 lines/mm are available as standard. Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer seals are used to ensure chemical compatibility with a range of organic solvents, and the demountable cell design allows for ease of cleaning. The cell is air-tight, has a small sample volume (ca 0.3 – 0.6 ml), and can be used in an evacuated environment.
Specac's Spectroelectrochemical Transmission Cell follows a modular design concept to fit with a range of Specac sample holders. In particular, the cell is compatible with Specac's Ambient Temperature Cell Holder (GS20740), Variable Temperature Cell Holder (GS21525), Water Heating Jacket (GS20710), and Electrical Heating Jacket (GS20730), to allow Spectroelectrochemical transmission measurements from – 50°C to 90°C depending on the cell holder selected.
Spectroelectrochemistry couples the techniques of electrochemistry and spectroscopy. It involves the application of an electric field to a sample whilst simultaneously recording spectroscopic absorption features, and has particular application for monitoring redox-coupled reactions to allow in-situ spectroscopic analysis of electro-generated intermediates and/or products.

Crock Pot Chocolate Peanut Candies
Total Prep Time: 5 minutes in the beginning and about 15 minutes at the end
Total Cook Time: 2 hours
Set Time for the candies: 1 ½ hours
I got this recipe from a dear friend of mine 2 Christmases ago. The recipe can make over 100 candies. It is extremely easy – all you need is a few ingredients, a crock pot, wax paper and a little counter space. I love that I can put these onto cook in 5 minutes, come back in 2 hours do about 20 minutes of work then walk away again for at least 1 ½ hours. As an added bonus they will keep in a sealed container for about 2 weeks. This one is definitely a favorite around our house – my Dad requests them at almost every holiday. And yes, his birthday counts as a holiday.
Here is what you will need:
2, 16 ounce jars of salted, roasted peanuts
1, 12 ounce bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 German chocolate bar (baking section)
32 ounces of white almond bark (16 tiles)
A crock pot
Wax paper
The Instructions:
Empty both jars of peanuts into the bottom of your crock pot. Sprinkle the entire bag of chocolate chips on top of the peanuts. Break the German chocolate bar into roughly 4 pieces and add them next. Last, break/cut the almond bark into tiles and put it on top.
Cook in crock pot on LOW for 2 hours with the lid on. Make sure you put it on low – we accidentally tried to make them last year and cooked them on high by accident. It was a very sad outcome for the chocolate peanut candies. Although my Dad loves them so much that he ate some of them burnt peanuts and all.
After 2 hours, stir mixture with a wooden spoon until completely mixed together. You will know it's all mixed because it will be the color of milk chocolate. Spread wax paper out on your kitchen counters. Then drop by teaspoonful onto wax paper. Let them harden (about 1 ½ hours on your kitchen counter). Store them in an air tight container or enjoy them right away.
A quick note about the ingredients:
You can find the salted peanuts on the "salty snack" aisle at the grocery store – where they have the flavored almonds, caramel popcorn, etc. Make sure you get the salted peanuts. My Dad made the recipe once and used unsalted and he said it just wasn't the same. You will find the rest of the ingredients on the baking aisle. Make sure you check the ounces on the containers. 32 ounces of almond bark usually requires 1 package and 1/3 of another package.
Happy Cooking!

DragonFly belongs to the same class of operating systems as other BSD-derived systems and Linux. It is based on the same Unix ideals and APIs and shares ancestor code with other BSD operating systems. DragonFly is differentiated from other operating systems in its class by, among others, the HAMMER file system, Virtual Kernels, swapcache, and the pervasive use of soft token locks. DragonFly provides an opportunity for the BSD base to grow in an entirely different direction from the ones taken in the FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD series.
Cross Linux From Scratch (CLFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own customized Linux system entirely from source.

The core of Ubuntu has been retained with minimal changes, enabling users to retain its more popular and useful features, but providing a completely different look and feel. Despite the eye-candy offered with a variety of user-friendly interfaces, TOSS mainly targets student developers. It offers the user gcc-build-essential, OpenSSL, PHP, Java, gEda, xCircuit, KLogic, KTechlab, and a variety of other essential programs for engineering and application development.
Comal-Linux is a Linux distribution derived from Slackware Linux. It is packaged as a live CD, and is intended for desktop users who want to use Slackware Linux without first installing it on their computers. Comal-Linux is built from "pure" Slackware Linux, making it as compatible with the original as possible, including application packages. By choosing lightweight desktop and application software, the distribution can be used on older computers. Comal-Linux is an unofficial Muslim edition of Slackware.
Nexus is a new operating system for trustworthy computing. It can take advantage of Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs) to issue trustworthy certificates of program properties.

When speakers at the monthly Elizabethtown-Hardin County Chamber of Commerce droned too long, Edith Dupin threatened them with her cane hook, a not-too-subtle hint to stay within their time limit.
She will be remembered for the hook, and for a bullwhip that adorned a wall in her office which led to her nickname, "The Whip." It didn't hurt that her office décor also featured the skin of a bear she shot. She was famous for refusing to accept "no."

What's Happening @ The Center...
Palm Springs, CA - The LGBT Community Center of the Desert (The Center) announced today that the Board has appointed Mike Thompson of Salt Lake City as its new Executive Director.
Thompson arrives with a wealth of talent and experience as The Center is poised for growth. A mission-oriented leader, he is committed to The Center's mission of enriching the lives of the Desert's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. "The appointment of Mike Thompson brings The Center into a new era of providing a wide variety of services to all members of our community," said Randy Lowe, Chairman of the Board.
Thompson has 18 years of nonprofit leadership experience and is a skilled executive who has successfully guided several organizations. He served as the COO and Acting President of GLAAD and the Executive Director of Equality Utah. While at Equality Utah, he led the nationally recognized "Common Ground Initiative" that was launched to advocate for Fair Housing & Employment, Health Care, Inheritance, and Relationship Recognition.
In addition to his other work, Thompson has built a very successful consulting practice, and is currently working with CenterLink, the network of LGBT community centers across the nation, to develop mission-focused governance curriculum for boards of directors.
Mike has a strong commitment to social justice and is looking forward to growing The Center to be a nationally-recognized organization serving all of the needs of the LGBT community, its friends, and supporters. "Mike brings tremendous talent to The Center, and the Board is looking forward to his leadership where there is huge potential for growth in the Coachella Valley to establish a premier LGBT center that will be widely recognized for its mission and services," continued Lowe.
Thompson will begin on June 2nd.

Shared earth—critical insight
Software Services - a powerful combination of discipline, application and integration expertise
Integration of all wellbore-centric data types into multidiscipline workflows.
Wellbore stability tools enable safe and efficient drilling and completions through geomechanical analysis.
Wells are the single most important way that oil and gas companies can enhance—or destroy—value to the bottom line.
Beyond conventional petrophysics, shales have great variability and heterogeneity.
Comprehensive petrophysical analyses maximize value of log and core data.
Data acquired in wellbores is intricate, varied, and represents a significant investment. It is imperative to capitalize on that investment, whether you are working on your first deepwater exploration well or delivering a comprehensive drilling program in a shale gas play. With the Techlog platform, you can bring all of your wellbore data into one highly intuitive application to carry out analyses. In addition to offering advanced modules for domain experts, the Techlog platform provides a solid foundation for generalist users to review and analyze the data. It supports complex workflows across multiple disciplines.
The Techlog platform dynamically incorporates the latest data from the well site for review and detailed analysis. Data can be streamed directly from the well site for real-time processing and instantaneous analysis as the well is drilled, aiding decision making during operations.
The best-in-class science delivered through the Techlog platform enables analysis of all available wellbore data at its acquisition scale and enables those data to be upscaled with confidence. A petrophysicist can leverage high-resolution data to examine the orientation of fractures as well as evaluating resistive qualities of those fractures to understand fluid flow in and around the wellbore. No longer are azimuthally sensitive log measurements required to "make do" with 2D displays. The Techlog platform provides new ways of visualizing the near-wellbore formation model.
Detailed 3D interpretations maximize the value of all the sophisticated data collected in modern wells. This single well model is then used to create a multiwell interpretation that provides the input to a simulation model to evaluate dynamic behavior in the reservoir.

Some progress.
Still want to add some other trinkets and random stuff to him. Maybe another light source.
Edit: woot page 3!
I know it's not medieval, but I have this idea knocking around, and wanted to finally make a first contribution.
Visit this thread to familiarize yourself with the rules. It is a bit out dated, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck!

It really is more of a doodle I ended up using my pocket sketchbook, and really rushed it along. I'll break out some larger stock and get some reference together and try to submit something more up to par. Thank you for the welcome

Here's where I got to. It's taken me a lot longer than I would've liked, and I had to switch to colour which was a bugger. Fought through the "looking a bit crap" stage, and I think it's coming out the other side finally, but the face has lost something.

@flypengion Amazing stuff!!!! Id love #2 most.... great renderings....
pld: "www.JanDegler.blogspot.com" pld:
@Thujon, You should consider changing the composition, the hallway is leading the eye out of the picture.
This is maybe better, I used the rule of thirds to place the character and I moved the door a bit to the right because it is was "hugging" the side of the picture which leads the eye out of the image.

Still kicking around ideas before I commit to start rendering in digital. I'm really having trouble on coming down to one design.
I really like the way this chow is going. Lots of very cool looking stuff guys!
Me, Myself & Me Again - nice heads! The one with black hair has a lovely smile
Chevy28360 - Good start man, the outfit has a slight samurai-ish vibe to it.

Thujon: Work on your anatomy and proportions as much as you can, draw from life and copy some of the masters you admire the most. There's a lot of naked/blank areas on your Goblin, try to add some more detail.
UmpaArt: I like it, but you need to add something to a sense of scale because of his brutish appearance and pose he looks more like a giant.
SimianSmash: Same as above, and admittedly the same problem with mine. Your Goblin looks like a giant because of your background elements. I know you are trying to with with a vertical perspective but it's coming off like your Goblin is a giant in a small hall.
Going for the scarred & grizzled veteran assassin look. Like he's been in the service of the kind for many, many years, quietly keeping the King in power by removing his enemies.
Still to add his scars and, maybe, tattoos.
Getting a bit lost here though, could use some direction and feedback if anyone has any.
Craig Paton - Lovely work man. =]

Nice work everyone!
Kinda late with my first WIPs. Trying to really push for a whole piece with this one. Cool subject

Follow the ten thousand hour journey at http://10000hourrule.com
Here is my wip have fun everyone and do the best
@Havoc Reed- Love it... Although i think you should check out the right shoulder of the goblin. The right arm should be smaller than the left one as it is further away. Thats what i think...What do you say?
@Luucky Mc Cain- I like the smiling assassin bit... I can actually visualize the guy smiling all the time...but kicking ass when needed...Nice one man... Like havoc said, make sure you show a lot more of the character... Check out some nice poses for reference...Looking forward to your progress..
@Tomercs - I like the whole veteran assassin bit and the tattooed tribal bit but wouldn't it make more sense to show that he is old yet good at his job...Like right now he looks more like a wise councilor than an assassin...maybe you could change the pose a bit just to make the character read better... dont take my word for it..its just how i perceive it.. What do you think?
@ Kamiru - Man.. That is just awesome.... You could really use the snakes for a kick ass design and even an eye catching composition.... i think you should do lots and lots of thumbnails to see how you can integrate the snakes...It will become an epic piece i believe.
@ Thujon - Dude..i think you should change the background a bit...I get the whole waiting in the hall thing... and thats nice..but i think you could try out different angles to approach the piece. cause right now as the eye moves from left to right, because the path is leading back to the upper left area, there's a bit of an uncomfortable feeling... perhaps you could do a circular steps going upwards and then turning right behind the wall...maybe that way, you can guide the viewers eye back into the character...
@ chevy28360 - cant wait for the rendering.. armor looks nice..
@ fdisk - looks nice man..i checked out your deviantart to see your renderings and i think it will look nice when it is rendered in your style...
@ Craig Paton - looks nice man..love the simplicity of it.. a bit of tattoos perhaps... or bruises? what do you think?
@ Me,Myself & Me again - i like the hunched back charc....i wanna see some more of your ideations...
@ JakeB- nice dude.. this would look kickass if done like the morgan WIP piece in your blog.. same atmosphere would really translate well for this subject matter..i think.
@ ricardops- bad ass dude... although i think you should make sure that the character doesn't come off as too sluggish.. since he is an assassin, he must be able to escape easily..Its not necessary for every assassin to be thin or anything...if you're making him big perhaps you could imply that he is good at disguises or that he can blend easily into the background...i think he sticks out too much now..
And now my update....
Lots of work to be done.. not entirely happy with the pose...i'll be making him more mysterious....
Cant wait to see all your new updates..This topic is insane...
Craig Paton, Gautham: As I've mentioned with others in this thread (And I really hope I'm not getting annoying with this) I like the overall designs but I'm not getting a good sense of scale. They could be an Orc or other type of fantasy creature assassin. I wouldn't necessarily suggest limiting the scale to other characters or props, maybe add a pet, something we are used to seeing in the real world like a rat, dog, etc. so we can get a sense of scale that these are Goblins (Typically shorter than a human)
So I went with the jester design for my assassin... maybe I have been playing to much skyrim lately. So here is the line drawing... Thinking of calling him Mr. Jingles.
I don't know if I'm going to do a final, but I've been compulsively doodling goblins since I saw the topic, so here's a design at least?
Going for more of a spymaster look, though I think it's coming off as "pirate" at the moment? The coat helps her slip through the shadows. (Man, if this does go to final, there's no way she's going to read as female, OH WELL.)
Some awesome work so far! Will edit in some C&C sometime between sleep and work.
Got a bit more done with my entry. Mostly the face as that was what needed the most fleshing out/changes, in addition to some basic color tossed about.
Within the Royal Goblin Palace, in the darkest shadows, the Goblin Assassin awaits the Kings signal, and the name of the next target.
Throughout his reign, the Goblin King has made many enemies and with the Goblin Assassin at his side, he will stop
at nothing to make sure they do not stand in his way.
This week we would like you to design the Goblin Assassin, a master of arms and the real power behind the Goblin throne.
The Guidelines:
Can be male or female
The Goblin Assassin is a member of the Kings Royal Court, this must be evident in your design
Think about what kind of weapon(s) the Goblin Assassin might use
The Rules
Finals must be posted in the finals thread before the deadline
Final post must include the CHoW number and the artists username at the bottom of the image
At least 3/4 of the character must be visible
At least two wips posted in the finals thread
Background is optional
Have fun!
so in my defence, "royal" does not automatically means medieval -- fantasy.
i hope i didn't step on anyones toes here, i just don't want to seem like an ignorant person.
Update, just thinking.. might change the little skull to a rat or crow to give him some size comparison.
Lots of great entries, will try to get some comments up later.
since it's my first time join chow, is there any rule for final entry picture size?
sorry for my bad english
my sketchbook
Again, not blaming you or anything and it is mainly our fault for it. I just suggest you read through the thread to check for things like that in the future. Quinn and I are still learning all of this, so we make mistakes.
Hope this clears things up.
no problem, mate, I will look more carefully for stuff like that in the future. i just felt that i had to start fast, in order to catch up to everyone. as it turns out, i would be better to spend half an hour instead of reworking stuff. but everything is fine, i was not too happy with the design anyway so here is a new set of sketches, this time more medieval.
Hey guys, cool entries so far.
My first time in a chow contest so here goes.
Hi Guys, cool work everyone! Here 's my sketch! Not to oryginal though!

America, welcome to the "Chicago way"By
CatholicVote.org happens to be headquartered in Chicago, the windy city and the home of President Obama. In fact, the billion dollar re-election campaign offices for President Obama are just a few blocks away from our own. Living and working here, we have grown accustomed to the "Chicago way."
We are surrounded by the stories of blatant crony capitalism, phony community organizing, and public sector kick backs. Rarely does a week go by without another news story exposing a public sector employee collecting multiple pensions totaling $300,000 a year or more. Seriously. Our last Republican governor is in jail, and our last Democrat governor is about to follow him. It's simply maddening.
To pay for these political games, the state has run up a massive debt on a per capita basis that is worse than any other state in the union. The cost of this debt is ballooning, businesses are fleeing, and many predict the state is on the verge of a financial collapse.
Sound familiar?
So how else do you finance the millionaire politician re-elections, unsustainable public sector employee entitlements, and crony capitalism? You raise taxes of course. But whose taxes? Earlier this year the state passed the largest income tax increase in history. We were told it would finally put us back on the path to solvency. But surprise! The fiscal crisis is worsening.
Our ABC news affiliate ran the story below last night. Watching it I realized that for all the talk about the 1% needing to pay their fair share, the problems of over spending, government debt, and insider political games inevitably hurt the lower and middle classes the most. Raising taxes on the rich has been done here. Sure, they could raise them more, but doing so risks more citizens and businesses leaving the state. Illinois business icons like Caterpillar and Sears are threatening to leave, while countless smaller business have already left.
I challenge you to watch the news story below and ask yourself who is getting hurting the most by the government system in Illinois. This state of affairs, I'm afraid, is where the entire country is headed unless we change course soon. Sadly the "Chicago way" is all too quickly becoming the American way.
7 thoughts on "America, welcome to the "Chicago way""
I think back in Jesus's time taxes were well over 50% and he told people to render unto Cesar, which I would think may have caused a lot of grumbling, the most direct story was about the rich man who wanted to be a disciple or perhaps I should go and look up what I should do if someone asks me for my cloak or asks me to walk one mile in service or if I should ever give to someone who spitefully uses me. I would think that God expects things a little bit differently than people expect things. How generous is God? How giving is He?, to the just and the unjust alike? I'm not saying that these taxes aren't unjust and excessive, just makes me scratch my head between the difference in your approach vs. the Gospel's approach to injustice through use. Should I resist one who is evil in this nature? Why or Why not? by the way, I always hope that I can take things into my own hands and not follow the Gospel, that resisting evil with evil will end it. It has always worked before. I'm sure the next bunch of guys won't be corrupted by the system.
IT will stay the status quo until people vote out these crooks and, if there is no reform, vote out the next batch until they get politicians in office who are there to serve the people not themselves.
Taxing the rich still taxes the poor.
Amen Brian! I live in Chicago. We have the highest sales tax in the country. We have the highest gas tax. Despite the fact that property values went down last year, property taxes went up. We pay a ridiculous amount of money to park at a meter on the street. Our state income tax rate went up last year. I could go on and on. The attitude of our state and local gov't seems to be…raise a little tax here, and little tax there…and no one will notice. Why do you think Quinn and Emmanuel kiss butt with the left on social issues, and bow down to unions? So people will ignore the fact that they are being gauged economically. Blame Wall Street? Yeah, right. The blame should be placed at the feet of exactly where it belongs…with greedy, incompetent politicians.
To be fair, it should be noted that the parking meters were privatized, and after privatization, Chicagoans are now expected to pay exorbitant rates.
It was privatized to put money in Daley's coffer for the Olympics bid.
It's so typical of the way things are run in this state. I'm convinced either the electorate is really ignorant (very possible, considering they are slaves to the Democrat Party), or the Dems cheat their way into office (also very possible!).
I hope to be leaving this state very, very soon. Goodbye Illinois and your idiot Democrat politicians!

Actually has decent reviews for a 2007 model...
The product description mentions "wide-angle zoom" but the near end of the zoom is 35mm equivalent. So, not really wide angle like many newer cameras have (28mm equivalent).
The Woot.com site says it shoots HD video (720p).

BCS Mac Introduction Meeting video is now available -- how that came about [link]
The January 30, 1984, video of the introduction of the Macintosh to the public at a Boston Computer Society General Meeting is now available online. Harry McCracken, an editor at large at TIME for personal technology, posted an exclusive look at the video early this morning, right after excerpts where shown at the Mac 30th event in California (an "official" event marking the 30th anniversary of the original Mac announcement at the same place where it occurred). The Computer History Museum will be posting material on its web site tomorrow, and will update the video when additional processing of it finishes.
See "Exclusive: Watch Steve Jobs First Demonstration of the Mac for the Public, Unseen Since 1984" on TIME.com.
Harry explains how there were other videos of prior deliveries of Steve Job's talk introducing the Mac, but that this one is special for several reasons, some of which I have touched upon in my blog post Friday about it, such as the Q&A with a general tech audience. He also explains a bit about how the release of the video came about. Let me fill in a bit more.
These were not fully "lost" videos. I have had my copy of the January 1984 VHS tape for years and let others know I had it, showing excepts sometimes when I gave talks. Given the use of Apple material, and the special nature of the video, I did not feel it was time to release it yet to the public as I was slowly doing with other videos I have (not BCS ones). I was in contact with the videographer, Glenn Koenig, who shot most of the BCS meetings on Software Arts' behalf over the years. He let me know that he had masters of many of them, though he hadn't cataloged them (and didn't search out the Jobs one until Harry asked, which yielded better versions of parts of the presentation). I let him know of the material that I had made sure made it to the Computer History Museum. I encouraged him to continue to maintain his tapes in good condition, which is what he has been doing all these years.
We always intended to complete the edits of this material, but there is a lot of it, and digitizing it properly and editing it takes a lot of time and money. We didn't have the funds to do that and it was unclear if others would chip in and how to bring that about. Doing the work prematurely with the wrong equipment could compromise the tapes. (Of course, waiting too long could cause them to deteriorate too much.)
When Harry, a BCS member going back to the VisiCalc days, contacted BCS founder Jonathan Rotenberg in the fall of 2012 to ask about video from BCS meetings, Jonathan got him in contact with Glenn. Glenn, Jonathan, and I brainstormed about ways to finally make the restoration and release happen. I contacted Ray Ozzie, who I knew was interested in historic videos and had worked with us at Software Arts in the early 1980's. He, like Harry, suggested the Computer History Museum as a means for funding instead of something like Kickstarter. I have been a long-time supporter of the Museum, and have been inducted as one of their "fellows" for my work on VisiCalc, and knew this was the right way to go.
Eventually, Jonathan, Glenn, and I started working with people at the Museum, cataloging which material we had between us, and worked up a budget and a plan for fundraising. Glenn pointed out the upcoming 30th anniversary of the Mac as a good "news hook" and that a hoped-for article by TIME could help publicize the entire set (thank-you, Harry, for coming through with a great one!). We met periodically on the phone (we all had other jobs to keep us very busy) and eventually crafted a "request" letter and a list of potential donors. Glenn produced a short trailer of excerpts from a few of the tapes using some refurbished equipment to show those people.
In September of last year we had the material ready for fundraising and I hand-signed (and in some cases added a little note to) a few dozen letters and mailed them out. Within a little while some money trickled in. Then, Brad Feld, a friend from the early Trellix days now living in Colorado, contacted me for more information. Within a few days he and his wife Amy became the major funders, ensuring that the project was well off the ground. He also helped us by reaching out to some of the people I had approached, too. We have since raised enough to do this project well, and hopefully even do additional tapes that are surfacing, though the Museum could always use additional funds for such things.
The people producing the video for the Mac 30th event, most importantly Gabreal Franklin, helped Glenn work out details and ensured that there would be quality video for their event, both from the January 1984 video and some other.
For many reasons, including the difficulty in getting the slides shown the way we need them, the current version of the Mac Introduction is just a "rough cut". There is more editing that will occur. In any case, Glenn did many late nights to make this happen on time.
Now that everything is set up, we will be processing other videos, too, and release them in batches. I'll write more about them when they are available. To me, some are of them are of the same historic value as this one, if not more.
The Mac Introduction video has served its purpose well. It has drawn attention to the Boston Computer Society and the other videos, and to the Museum. It has helped a new generation see what happened in the early days of the PC revolution, and an older generation remember their past, and helped chronicle the thinking of the time for posterity. It has also helped fill in the record of the life of a giant of our industry, capturing an interaction with the users of his works like no other.

The Mac turns 30 and because we preserved the history you will be able to relive it [link]
Today is 30 years since the Apple Macintosh was announced. That event occurred at a shareholders meeting in California. The following Monday, Steve Jobs and a crew of people from Apple traveled to Boston, Massachusetts, to redo that event for the public. It was at the Boston Computer Society General Meeting on January 30, 1984, at the John Hancock Hall in Boston.
In addition to Steve's speech and demonstration, he also brought many of the developers of the Mac software and hardware with him. After his presentation, they all sat on stage and answered questions from the audience and did further demos. For the over 1,000 people who attended, it was an amazing event. At the shareholders meeting there was the worry of how it would be received and if the demos would work. At the BCS meeting there was much less pressure and Steve was relaxed and confident and engaged the audience. The attendees were knowledgeable and savvy.
There is something else about the Boston event: My old company, Software Arts, at my suggestion as I recall, was paying to have video tapes made of many of the BCS General Meetings. (I was a board member of the BCS at various points). For this event, Apple provided additional cameras and made sure the lighting was good (it was not good in California, apparently).
We at Software Arts ended up with an edited VHS copy of the event that I have kept for these 30 years and sometimes show excerpts from when I talk to students to show them what it was like in the "old" days. I also would show it to my daughters to let them see how a real pro delivered a speech. At this point I know Steve's intonation on every syllable of the start of his presentation. (It's different than when he gave it in California.)
What happened last year is something wonderful: It turns out that many of the original BCS meeting tapes still exist. Some were donated to the Computer History Museum with my help. Many of the master tapes were still with the videographer, Glenn Koenig, including 3/4" tapes that are higher quality than the VHS copies. Together with Glenn and Jonathan Rotenberg (the founder and initial head of the BCS), we finally started a project with the Computer History Museum to restore the tapes and make the videos available to the public. This involves careful work on refurbished old equipment and careful editing remembering the events themselves to get the best possible video and sound. It will also include transcripts and other related museum-type treatments.
We have raised money to pay for this (there are over 20 meetings to process) and have started digitizing and editing the tapes. The Mac Introduction will be the first, but there are others of great interest with the leaders of many leading personal computing companies, from Microsoft to Radio Shack to Digital Research to Lotus and IBM.
A thank you to Brad Feld, who remembers the impact the BCS had on his interest in both technology and entrepreneurship from his days at MIT, and all of the others who came through with the money we needed!
The Mac video will be released soon (I'll post here when it's available) and others will follow over time.
Steve Jobs about to insert disk into Mac in January 1984, from my VHS copy
For those of you who have only seen the young Steve Jobs portrayed by actors, seeing him and his team as they actually were should be a real treat. I get chills down my spine watching it.
It is such a joy to realize that a decision we made over 30 years ago at my old company, when the personal computing industry was a young oddity, will bring those days to life for a new generation and for generations to come and that they will care and appreciate it.
(This isn't the first time I've felt that way. Another recording we did, an internal one of a staff meeting as the IBM PC was being announced, ended up a key scene in the PBS documentary "Triumph of the Nerds" -- see "IBM PC Announcement" on my web site's Writings section. I've also posted a few other old videos I have: See "Video of Fall Comdex 1983" and "Video of Bob Frankston's tour of the WWW in 1994".)
I recorded a 20-minute podcast interview with Jonathan yesterday to get the back story on how he, a 20-year-old at the time, got Steve Jobs to debut in Boston. You can listen to the MP3 recording of our Skype conversation, "Jonathan Rotenberg about the 1984 BCS Mac event 2014-01-22" on my podcast channel.
In those days, the top companies in the industry would come to the BCS and other user groups to demonstrate their new innovations, sometimes as their first public showing. (The BCS was the most influential and probably biggest such group.) Local and national TV didn't show up to document the events (though the Wall Street Journal and other press often did). However, "personal" video taping helped preserve some of it. I know that other user groups did taping (I have some tape of me at a least one of those venues) and I hope that other material has been preserved and will be made available to the public and to historians through the Museum and other means.

Let me start off this hands-on review of the Nikon 1 V2 with a reminder that no one camera can do everything that an owner may require. Regardless of the price paid, every piece of equipment comes with compromises. And, so it is with the Nikon 1 V2. I should also state upfront that I shoot more client videos with my Nikon gear than I do still photographs, so this review does contain a reasonable amount of evaluation from a video perspective.

Nasim has already provided a list of Nikon 1 V2 specifications and compared them to the previous model, the Nikon 1 V1. For those of you who would like to see a detailed comparison between the two, it can be found here.
2) The challenges and advantages of a CX sensor
The Nikon 1 V2 has a small 1" CX sensor. This gives the camera some inherent challenges when using it in real-life situations such as more noise at higher ISOs, somewhat limited dynamic range, and difficulty in achieving shallow depth-of-field. Some people are quite negative about the V2 because of its sensor size and immediately dismiss it as a 'toy'. This is very unfortunate because the Nikon 1 V2 does have some wonderful capabilities and I believe it should have a place in the bags of many professional photographers.
