Help me print the personal photo album of a German officer in World War I. A thousand beautiful images from the trenches to the air.
I have a real book in my hands now! Thank you all so much! If you're in the San Francisco area, please join me in celebrating the completion of funding this evening!
See the collection as I scan it on Tumblr
More information at WalterKoessler.com
I have a hundred page photo album with nearly a thousand photos my great-grandfather Walter Koessler took in World War I. It's in pristine condition, beautifully preserved by my family over the last hundred years in Southern California. They've even saved the negatives– untouched, crisp and unfaded –and a box of stereographs from the war and the early 1900s.
This album is a real treasure. Trained as an architect and conscripted into the German Army directly from the classroom, Walter became an officer in the reserve artillery battalion and he took advantage of many unique opportunities to record his experience on film. He captured the haunting experience of building and living in the trenches, the sunlight pouring in through the broken windows of bombed churches, and the clouds through the wings of biplanes as an early aerial reconnaissance photographer. After moving to Los Angeles to work as an art director in films, Walter made this album. The story the book tells begins with a pack of young men playing at war and ends with their crushing realization of what war really means.
These photos have captivated me for nearly two years, even after paging through them hundreds of times. It's an unbelievable, rare and intimate story, a deep look into the first world war you can't find anywhere else.
The images deserve to be seen and appreciated in the context of their whole story. They're compelling on a digital screen, but having spent many hours with the originals, they are significantly better on the pages of a book you can explore as a physical object. If I can find enough supporters and meet a minimum order requirement for this ambitious project, I will create a book from this album at its original size with my notes in the margins so you can have this full experience with history too.
"When Dean first shared this discovery with me, I knew he'd found a rare family history treasure — but I don't think I, or he, or anyone realized at first what a treasure of shared world history this collection would turn out to be. It's such an amazing story: a time capsule from an ancestor, finding its way to the hands of a young man who works in the digital world. I'm glad Dean is able to preserve it, and I'm happy to see it shared with the world." - Xeni Jardin, Boing Boing
As seen in:
What I'm doing
I want you to experience this part of our shared history. I've done a lot of research about the photos in this book and Walter's journey. I even went to France to attempt recreating the photo above. This project means a lot to me and I've spent a lot of time working on it.
My goal is to scan and archive each image in the book, make an annotated version of it in its full form, and share that with all of you. I've already begun this process by posting some of the pages and their photos on Tumblr. I also want to print these images in a book roughly the size of the original, with space for my notes and closeups in the margins so I can share my research.
Digital images are neat because they don't take up space, you can zoom in closer than the eye can see, and they are easy to share. But the images in this book belong together, not separated or in a mishmash online. They deserved to be printed, held and spent time with. They're a priceless, rare look into forgotten age that you'll come back to again and again.
The book itself will be available in high resolution PDF form and as a high-quality offset printed, casebound 11"x17" coffee table book. I've rejected vanity press for this project because it's absurdly expensive at nearly $1 per page, and it greatly limits the sizes at which you can print. Each book would cost over $150 and the quality would not be worthy of Walter's work. I've begun researching the best ways to do photo printing, found a printer, priced it, checked paper samples, and begun laying out the book. These are going to be really beautiful prints, with a fold out page in the back for the large aerial panorama. A collector's item for sure and much higher quality than a vanity press could deliver. Here's a blank copy of the book's actual materials, this is the size and format I'm making it at:
I need supporters to help me approach a 1000 copy minimum order quantity so I can move forward. When ordering a book from the non-early bird levels, you'll also receive a print from one of the book's photos.
I'd also love to get people following along as I scan images so they can spot things I wouldn't normally see and share their expertise. The Internet has been invaluable in identifying military equipment, locations, people and much more. For backers $25 and above, you'll receive access to high resolution images of prints and negatives as I scan them so you can see my progress and pitch in if you'd like. Definitely get in on at least on this level, this stuff will knock your socks off.
The goal here is to have rewards dated for December 2013 in your hands before Christmas. I cannot guarantee that will happen (see Risks and Challenges section), but if I meet my funding goal I will do everything I can to meet this goal.
I hope that this project will make you consider the stories in your life. How do you create and record new ones? How do you review the ones you've already made? How do you preserve the stories from your family? Go make those stories something you can share, can't ignore or forget, and want to spend more time with.
High level rewards
For those of you particularly interested in early 20th century photography, military history or World War I specifically, I have some very special rewards for larger backers.
Stereoscopic View-Master
Walter took fifty nine stereoscopic photos throughout the war. These show military equipment, biplanes, and possibly a crucifixion in 3D when seen through the proper viewer. I'm planning to make classic View-Masters and reels of the best ones to make viewing these images easy and fun! You'll also receive digital versions of the stereograms in anaglyph magenta/cyan and side-by-side formats. I'm expecting to be able to include four reels of six images for each backer here, but I may be able to make more if there are enough backers at this level. Here's an example of one of the 3D photos as an animated GIF:
Triptychs or panorama
These photos are incredibly detailed, and as I've been scanning the prints and negatives I've found nuances and hidden bits you can't see in a small image. Walter took photos that tell stories, and I'm curating a few triptychs for this. These may change in the future as I find more negatives, but here are some mockups of possibilities. You'll receive options from me if you back at this level.
The back of the book will include a fold out copy of this aerial panorama Walter took, with annotations of trench and front positions. This reward level will have an option to receive a print of this panorama instead of a triptych. The book board will be removed in this image.
Prints from the original negatives
I've started experimenting with printing photos in the darkroom using traditional photo enlarging and processing techniques from the original negatives I have, and the results so far are exciting.
As I work with these images, get better and larger paper, and learn more about enlarging them, these photographs are only going to bring you closer to the day they were shot. Walter's negatives are pristine and clear, and he took many wonderful photos. Printed large, they show details you just can't see with the naked eye.
I won't be making many prints. The negatives are nearly a hundred years old now, and I'd really like to put them back in storage. But for the few of you who want a beautiful and rare art print from the original negative, this is a great opportunity to get one made for you. Few people have negatives from this era, and I doubt anyone besides me is crazy enough to actually print from them now. Sizes to be determined, but at least 8x10, and I will provide a series of images for you to choose from.
Visit from me, showing of all the materials, and discussion
I want to make these photos available for the hardcore enthusiasts to see first hand. It's so much fun sharing the story and images with people, and I could talk all day to the ones who are most interested. So let's do that.
At the highest tier, I'll fly out to your gallery, museum, club or organization with all the materials I have. We can spend a day discussing them and going through everything. I've limited this to five so that I can prevent undue stress on the album and materials, but I've priced it relatively low so that small but determined clubs still have a chance of organizing a meeting. Can't wait to meet you!
Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
This is my first Kickstarter. It's been a long time in the making because I believe this is a deeply important thing to share and share right. Here are some points I expect may present challenges and how I intend to reduce the risk behind them.
I have never written or published a complete book before. Fortunately I am getting excellent advice from print designers and publishers who do this regularly. Since I work for major online publishers (boingboing.net, Kevin Kelly and others), many of my friends have made books and print products before, and the printer I've chosen comes highly recommended by the publisher of Coilhouse Magazine, so I'm confident that I'm in good hands. I've already begun the layout of the book, received financial quotes and checked paper samples. I've set out a timeline from now until I plan to ship, and I'm ready to commit to it. I've given myself a substantial time buffer between each stage of the process to prepare for things going wrong.
I expect shipping physical product to have some unforeseen hangups. I have first-hand experience in seeing this done, but I have not done it myself. I've consulted with experts in retail shipping to make sure my timeline and goals are reasonable. International shipping is particularly risky and troublesome, but I've already begun pricing it out and preparing for it. I am hiring help with packing and shipping once the books arrive to make sure this goes smoothly.
Printing large numbers of photos is new to me. I've priced this out, done test prints, and begun learning more about printing from negatives. I've got experience printing high quality photographs, and I've connected with SF Photoworks to print the reward images. I've done test prints at RayKo Photo and I'll be working with them to create the best traditionally processed prints from the negatives I can. I've been working with photos for years, but I've never printed them in large quantities, so this is an area I'm actively learning more about to get the best results.
Although unexpected production challenges will undoubtedly arise, I've spent a year and a half and plenty of my own money on this already, and I will not give up until you get your rewards. I look forward to you joining me in reliving history through First Lt. Walter Koessler's photo journal of World War I.
Now that it's finished, the book is 140 pages with a fold out panorama in the back. It's printed on 200gsm matte paper, a beautiful thick stock that will last a long time.
Here's what I want to accomplish from this Kickstarter:
Make a beautiful book you couldn't get any other way than a full print run.
Over deliver and produce a product that makes everyone really happy.
Not have a ton of unsold books floating around my house after I've fulfilled rewards.
Have enough money to overcome unexpected obstacles and push production forward faster.Book printing is expensive as a lump sum. Shipping books is even more expensive. My time and the time of people who I need to hire to help me is even more expensive than that. And I want to surprise you with little extras here and there as I can. This is all factored into the goal and includes a nice buffer so I can be comfortable in meeting those priorities above.
In those terms, the goal isn't actually that high. I think of Kickstarter as a way to make something much better than what you'd be able to do without support. The goal should put you in a position to do great things, and you should be prepared to take advantage of that. So yes, this is a reach, but you've already proven that people care about this and want it, and I'm so proud to have you with me on this journey.

The Call of True Islam
May 01, 2012 10:27 AM »
The call of True
(not the so called Islam of today) from The Leader of The Time, Mohammad Bayazeed Khan Panni-
To people, who are aware to even a minimum degree of what is happening around them in this world, it does not come as any surprise what pitiable situation the population of about 1600 million or 160 crores people who claim themselves to be Muslims are in. They are being subjected to untold horror by all other peoples of this world, defeated in every aspect, insulted, humiliated and killed.
Their places of worship, their mosques, are being razed to the ground or turned into offices or clubs. Their women are being violated and killed. Yet, this is the people who go by the same name of those who were once the masters of this world. All others looked upon them in awe and respect, they ruled over half of the total land mass of the then world. They were the people who established the way of life (Deen) given by Allah over all the areas they conquered; they ruled unrivaled as none was there to challenge them in any aspect for they held the highest position in terms of military might, advances in science, civilization, in areas of new discoveries, inventions, technology and economic strength. Yet, all this could do little to prevent the wrath of
when the time came- and centuries have passed since they collectively lost in military confrontation to European Christian nations and accepted their subjugation in their lives. During the process of these defeats, lakhs and lakhs of these Muslims were killed, under tanks, burnt and buried alive-and shot dead, their dwellings were burned down. Their females faced the worst fates, being sold to brothels across Europe and Africa. Yet, the wrath of Allah has not ceased to this date. Christian forces in different parts of Europe namely Bosnia-Herzegovina, Albania, Kosovo, Czechoslovakia, Chechnya, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Eritrea-in Asia and Africa-in the Philippines, Buddhists in the Arakan, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Sing kiang (China)-Jews in the Lebanon and Palestine, Hindus in the whole of India, especially Kashmir, are carrying on with the persecution and massacre on the Muslim peoples with relentless pursuit. There has not been a single instance, where any Muslim minority has expressed their will to live as Muslims and they have not been persecuted. They are taken into custody, subjected to inhumane torture, hung or simply left to die. All because they want to live independently as Muslims. In the history of mankind, no other nation has endured the level of humiliation and insult that has been heaped on this people. The incidents in Bosnia are such that, they are no comparison in human history; where thousands of Muslim were killed and dumped in mass graves, more than two hundred thousand Muslim women were systematically raped, impregnated and held in concentration camps to prevent them from aborting their unwanted offspring. Eventually, they gave birth to children of their Christian violators.
Yet, if one were to look around to the other members of the so called Muslim nation, one would think nothing is amiss. It is as if all this torture, injustice, humiliation and insult that their brothers and sisters are being subjected to are acceptable as everyday occurrences. They eat, drink, enjoy themselves, engage in businesses and work jobs as if nothing has happened. What cruel irony! What possible cause could there be for such pitiable condition? Many thinkers are of the opinion that, it is the lack of unity amongst us or the effect of weak faith has brought this misfortune upon us. However, our leader, the Imam of Hezbut Tawhid, Muhammad Bayazeed Khan Panni says that, these are not the root causes of our downfall, they are mostly the outcome. The real reason is that we have strayed a long distance from the Kalema, the very Kalema that is the heartbeat of Islam. He has proved from the Quran, that, "La Elaha Ellallah" is the soul, the basis and the foundation of the Deen-ul-Islam.
is enshrined within the Kalema, there is nothing pertaining to Islam outside it. To be a Momen, Muslim or Ummat-e-Muhammadi, one has no option but to believe it with heart and soul, preach it and strive with utmost effort to establish it. Our Imam believes that a deviant, incorrect meaning of this Kalema is accepted worldwide among all today. It is believed and taught today that, the meaning of "La Elaha Ellallah"-is, there is none to be worshipped other than Allah-whereas, the actual meaning it conveys is-"there is none to be obeyed other than Allah"-because Elah and Ma'bud are two different words with two different meanings. In substituting Ma'bud for Elah we are merely using one word to replace another instead of conveying the meaning of the former e.g. 'Elah' a word that denotes the entity that is to be obeyed, adhered to, the soveirgn, whereas Ma'bud is 'He, who is to be worshipped', therefore, these two adjectives denote two different meanings. If 'La Elaha Ellallah' were to mean there is none to be worshipped other than Allah, then the Arabic would have been, 'La Ma'bud Ellallah.' But from the first Messenger Adam (A.S.) to the seal of the Messengers of Allah, Muhammad (SM) the Kalema they have all brought to their peoples has remained the same, 'La Elaha Ellallah.' Over two hundred thousand 'Nabis' or Messengers from Allah have borne witness to this same Kalema, 'There is none to be obeyed other than Allah.' Allah is definitely the only Ma'bud, but that is not the Kalema of Islam. The Kalema, cornerstone of the faith is to accept Him as the only Elah, no one else to be obeyed other than Him. In the Quran, Allah affirms, "Those who accept Allah and His Messenger will enter paradise"-(Sura Fatah-17, Azhab-71). Then again in Sura Nissa-69, He avows, "Those who obey Allah and His Messenger, will be in the company of Nabis, Shaheeds, Siddiqs, Saleheen," the only condition that has been laid for the entry to paradise in both the instances, is obedience to Allah, the acceptance of His will as the only authority. It is interesting to note that, Namaz, Roza, Hajj or Zakah have none been given as a pre condition for entry to paradise, it is only the acceptance and adherence of Allah as the only authority of the only faith. The
of Allah has cleared this point by saying "Man qala La Elaha Ellallah fad khalal Jannah"- (Bokhari and Muslim from Abu Zarr Ghefari R.) i.e. He who says that there is none to be obeyed except Allah will enter paradise. Here "says" means believing it with all the heart without any doubt, proclaiming it openly and struggling (Jahedu) to establish it on earth.

Our Imam has made us realize that, due to the gross error in the understanding of the meaning of Kalema, this huge population of Muslims in the world has forsaken the allegiance to Allah as the only law-giver, the only one whose ordain we are to obey. We accept Him as the Ma'bud, the one to be worshipped, believe it with our hearts and souls, say prayers to please Him, give in charity, in Zakah, fast to gain His proximity, His goodwill, engage in various other good deeds but none adhere to Him as the only one except whom there is none to be obeyed. In our collective life, we have forsaken the Deen, the way of life, as prescribed by Him and accepted and implemented those created by our fellowman, little knowing that, by doing so, e.g. diverting from the Kalema, we are turning into Moshrek and Kafer. In a Hadith describing the akheri zamana, the Messenger of Allah has stated, that the mosques will be full of Musallis, there will be shortage of space in those, but, they will be devoid of Hedayah [Source: Bayhaquee from Hazrat Ali (R.)] This 'Hedayah' or right guidance is the acceptance of Allah as the one besides whom there is none to be obeyed. This is Tawheed; this is 'La Elaha Ellallah'. It does not take a genius to figure that if there is no Hedayah in mosques full of people, there is no Islam either. In today's world, there is no place where the ordinance of Allah is adhered to, in the collective level, not even in the so-called Muslim states. Everywhere we look, the way of life, the system of government is those prescribed by the peoples and by Jews and Christians. In so doing, by implementing man-made ways of life instead of the one sent by Allah, the entire population of Muslims have indeed rejected the Deen given by Allah through His Messenger disobeyed Him and became Kafer (disobedient) like the Eblis who disobeyed Allah's order to prostrate before Adam (A.S.) and was thrown out from His presence. Thus he became Rajim (Ousted). Muslims today, busy as they are in out-doing each other in Namaz, Hajj and Zakah in Tahajjud and Tarawih, oblivious to the fact that, the one thing they are united in is, the denial of the Kalema, Tawheed of Allah as the only law-giver, the partial, personal iman, (which is in fact shirk), that they so completely believe in, will be just as scornfully rejected by Allah and cast away on Judgment day as it is being today here on earth.

The other significant issue that has been clarified to us by our Imam is that due to the gradual deviation from the true faith, the Islam present before our eyes is the completely opposite thing to the real faith. Islam was that, which Allah revealed to us through the Messenger, who in turn entrusted the spread of the same through Jehad (all out struggle) on his followers. Moreover, Allah cautioned this nation of dire punishment and slavery if they abandon the struggle, the Jehad of implementing this on the whole of this world. (Sura: Tauba-38, 39)

I was used to a Daisy Powerline 1200 4.5mm CO2 bb pistol (yes - old). At first, I thought the accuracy was bad, but after getting used to the trigger, it is nearly as accurate as the Daisy bb. The M92 put a 0.2gr bb through both sides of an empty Pepsi can (sorry no Coke) at 25 ft on its 4 clip. For the money, you can;t beat it. I really like the red dot on the site at the end of the barrel. Its a huge benefit over the plain rail on the daisy. Things I liked:Good heft, durable construction. Rails are always nice so you can go tactical, and the C02 in grop system is nice too. The gun uses C02 very well, with crisp, hard hitting shots. See photos I uploaded fo the crazy power this beast carries. The (painted) red dot on the front sight and the two white dots on the rear sight are great for target acquisition and beretta enthusiasts will like that. Things I would have changed:For $40 bucks I am not gonna whine about it, but aside from the safety and mag release, there are no other moving parts, and the slide catch and take down lever look fake and unrealistic. This is aboslutely NO PROBLEM for me, as it has no effect on the power. What others should know:Great gun. Needs to be broken in. Do not fret if the accuracy out-the-box is off. It needs a little lube inside the barrel (then wipe off) and alittle peligun oil on the C02 valve tip before you get rockin. PLEASE give it a good 40 shots before it catches a rhythm. This is a solid gun for an enthusiast or a beginner. With the money you save on the gun, o buy a laser or light for the rail, as well as the extra mags. The mags have a nice feature where if you overload them, a small wedge appears at the base and will not shoot till you remove some bb's... almost a 2nd safety feature. Pretty cool. GET THIS GUN. I already bought 2. One was a present for my cousin, and he is blown away by it. Nice one TSD. Thanks Pyramyd! Love u guys!!

TEAMS: New Jersey Devils, Ottawa Senators, New York Rangers
Ilya Kovalchuk scored twice, Stephen Gionta broke a third-period tie with his first NHL goal and the New Jersey Devils beat the Ottawa Senators 4-2 on Saturday to close the regular season with a six-game winning streak.
Petr Sykora also scored, and Martin Brodeur made 31 saves for the Devils, who will be the No. 6 seed in Eastern Conference for the postseason. They will face Florida or Washington in the opening round.
Matt Gilroy and Jim O'Brien scored for Ottawa, which will be the seventh or eighth seed in conference, facing the New York Rangers or Boston.
Gionta, recalled from Albany on Friday, gave the Devils the lead for good, putting in the rebound of Alexei Ponikarovsky's shot with 9:05 to play.
Kovalchuk iced the game with an empty-net goal for the Devils, who missed the playoffs last season for the first time since 1996.
Craig Anderson made 30 saves for Ottawa.
Brodeur made the lead stand up by stopping 13 shots in the final 20 minutes, including a good chance in close by Colin Greening with 2:31 to go.
The Devils twice fought back from one-goal deficits.
Sykora tied it at 2 with his second goal in two games and 21st of the season with 2:17 left in the second period. The tally came on a rare 5-on-1 power-play rush that Kovalchuk started with a pass to Marek Zidlicky. Sykora, Dainius Zubrus and Adam Henrique got the next three touches on the puck before Sykora tapped Henrique's pass into an open net.
O'Brien gave Ottawa a 2-1 lead with 6:01 left in the period. He took a cross-ice pass from Erik Condra and sent a shot off Brodeur's arm into the net for his third career goal.
Gilroy, who also got an assist on O'Brien's goal, gave Ottawa its initial lead when Brodeur gave up a bad goal. Gilroy took a weak backhander from along the left boards and the 39-year-old goalie intended to kick the puck back into the corner. His skate seemed to catch in the ice when he kicked at the bouncing puck and it embarrassingly slide into the net at 10:59 of the opening period.
Kovalchuk tied it at 1 with a blast from the dot in the right circle at 15:26 on a power play. He has 37 goals, 25 since Jan. 1.
NOTES: Gionta skated on the Devils' fourth line with Ryan Carter and Cam Janssen. ....Devils rookie D Adam Larsson, the fourth pick overall in the draft, returned to the lineup after being a healthy scratch the last five games. ...Senators RW Chris Neil didn't make the trip after being hurt in a fall in practice. Kaspars Daugavins replaced him in the lineup.

Whitewater raftingby Su Reid-St.John, for Sharecare
Most of us, at one time or another, have been afraid to try something new, especially when it comes to fitness. My most recent fear facing came when I had the chance to do a zipline tour--the kind where you hike through the forest, climb up onto a tiny platform 20 feet above the ground, then cross from tree to tree via zipline and rope bridge and rope swing. The issue? I'm afraid of heights.
But it sounded like such fun that I knew it was time to pull out my five steps to overcoming fitness fear. These are the same ones I used the first time I faced a steep downhill on my mountain bike, took a kayak through the rapids, ventured onto the blue trails on my downhill skis--well, you get the picture.
Here they are:
1. Allow yourself to be a beginner
It always looks so effortless when you watch an expert in motion, right? It's worth remembering that nobody starts out amazing. "When we compare ourselves to those who've already perfected a skill, and then are not able to perform at an advanced level right out the gate, we give up," says Serena Rain, National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) Elite Trainer. "Recognize you are a beginner and start slow." After all, even that guy jumping moguls on his mountain bike was a first-timer once.
2. Ask for help
Before I set a foot onto the ladder to the first zipline platform, I confided to one of the guides that I was nervous about heights and said I might need an occasional encouraging word. He was more than happy to oblige. "It is always good practice to have a strong support staff to help you through the difficult times," notes NASM Elite Trainer Aaron Lawson. "Be sure to express to them your goals and fears. They can really help to keep you motivated and on track." My husband, also on the tour, was quick to tell me how great I was doing, and it made all the difference.
3. Acknowledge the fear
Yes, it's there--but that's not a deal-breaker. "Fear is a force everyone has to deal with from time to time," Lawson says. The key is how you deal with it. Admit that yeah, it might be frightening the first time you hop on that bike or walk into that new class or head down that mountain. Allow yourself to feel afraid for a few moments. Then move on.
4. Talk to yourself
I'm not usually a big talker--until I'm facing a big challenge. Then the words come tumbling out: "You can do it. You've got this. Stay strong." Tell yourself how great you are (even if you don't quite believe it) and you'll feel better equipped to handle the tough stuff. Here's how Sharecare mental health counselor Brooke Randolph puts it: "Create your own script, rather than repeating those things that others tell you that you should believe." Amen, sister.
Say goodbye to belly flab in 9 steps
5. Allow yourself to fail
It's going to happen sometimes--and that's okay. You can always try again. "People who do allow themselves to fail usually learn about themselves and learn a lot about what they need to do differently to move forward," explains Sharecare fitness expert Michelle Cleere, PhD. "If you allow it to, failing can give you some good information about how to not fail the next time," says Cleere.
So why bother going through all this? Because the moment you step off that bike, or finish that class, or climb down that ladder, you'll feel so powerful and exhilarated that you'll wonder why you were ever afraid in the first place.

The New York City Housing Authority says all of its buildings are back on the power grid.
Although electricity has been flowing for more than a month, many public housing buildings were relying on generators.
The Ocean Bay Apartments in Arverne were the last to be restored.
Meanwhile, in Lower Manhattan, most private operators of temporary generators and boilers are still breaking the rules, according to the city. According to Department of Environmental Protection numbers released by City Councilwoman Margaret Chin, as of last week, only six of 87 boilers and generators had a current registration.
Another 45 had applications in the works.
That is still better than on December 7, when 117 boilers and generators did not have the proper paperwork.
The DEP said it will continue to do inspections and issue violations.

Yeeeee Haaaaw!
It's the older version of this with 4 deeper drawers I would peg it from 1990 or so. It was a trade in when I started turning wrenches and I moved it home when I got a bigger box. It still looks as good as the day I bought it. I think I paid about $1200 back then..... Bright snap On red in color. That's all they offered back then

Mary J Blige: Simone role on hold
Jun 14 2012
Mary J Blige has revealed that playing Nina Simone would be a dream role - but the biopic is still postponed.
Mary J Blige has revealed that playing Nina Simone would be a dream role - but the biopic is still postponed.
The R&B diva, who stars in Rock Of Ages, has wanted to portray the late jazz icon since 2005 in the as-yet-untitled film, based on Nina's 1992 autobiography I Put A Spell On You.
"It's in a holding pattern. I don't really have anything to tell you, except for that right now," said Mary.
When the call comes though, Mary admits she is more than ready to jump straight into the part.
"I've prepped for it for about five years but with all the media saying I'm doing it and not having their side of things together, I really don't want to talk about it until I know it's all etched in stone," she added.
Mary - who is researching to play Malcolm X's wife Dr Betty Shabazz in TV film Parallel Lives - revealed that she has always wanted to act.
"When I was a kid, I used to be the lead in a lot of plays because my music teacher chose me," she recalled.
"Watching movies as a kid, I always thought, 'Wow, I wanna do that someday'. But it was so far-fetched.

Product Description
Between two points in one plane is created a straight line, the fundamental principle of design for the SoltTrak pins. Without angling pins or using multiple rows of pins, the SoloTrak single row of overlapping snag-proof, rigid steel pins provides a perfectly straight row of aligned aim pins.The famouse Metal Optic Pin has been re-engineered in a single row to achieve a zero pin gap for arrow speeds beyond 360 feet per second, with the additional size of the finer .010 pin diameter. This new SoloTrak configuration allows for multiple diameter pin sizes and the ability to add or remove any pin or chage fiver color with ease. For example, at close range a .029 is the largest pin and easy to see, for long range a .010 can be added as a last pin to cover less of the target. SoloTrak pins are numbered 1 through 5 with the diameter embossed into the pin for easy identification.

Pre-Season Positivity for the Atlanta Thrashers?
Poking around the interwebz the past few days, I've caught some of the season previews sneaking out. I've already looked at the Blues' offense on here, but the previews I've seen the most of on-line have been for the Thrashers since so many previews have been alphabetically released. The thing that's catching my eye is that they've been mostly positive-ish. Of course, positive-ish for the Thrashers in the national media is "they won't finish last!" so I kind of take what I can get.
SB Nation's look at the pre-season power rankings is a compilation of the individual blog owners' opinions of where the standings'll wind up. Take it with a grain of salt since it's a group effort (and don't jump Travis - he just had the duty of getting it together). I consider pre-season power rankings a wash - they take into consideration all of the bloggers' pre-conceived ideas about the team as well as their compiling of information from media outlets, and let's face it - no one's cuddly with Atlanta. I picked apart the rankings on SB Nation Atlanta. Usually I don't pay a bit of attention to power rankings because they're just opinion, but I wanted to look at SB Nation's since I write there on a few blogs.
But ranking Southeast Division teams lowly, or at least just blowing them off, is a mistake. Adam Proteau of The Hockey News has a good point - out of the Eastern Conference divisions, the SE made the most moves and the most effort during the off-season to noticably improve. Laugh at your own expense, but every team's gotten better, and with the exception of maybe the Panthers, they each have a legit shot of making the playoffs. You can't look at the SE this year and write everyone off but the Caps, and that should make folks think through their power rankings for once.
Unless you're Jamie Bell of TSN. TSN completely wrote the Thrashers off in their pre-season preview in a write-up that couldn't be more wrong. It's a mash-up of assumptions that fails to take about half of the team into consideration. Apparently dropping dough on an "impact player" is necessary for the team to move up in the standings. This statement comes after Bell lists the players that the Thrashers added. He might not be a big name, but if you don't think Chris Mason is an impact player, you haven't been watching Western Conference hockey for the past two seasons.
This selection from the article made me actually laugh out loud:
The departures of Max Afinogenov, MacArthur, Colby Armstrong, Slava Kozlov and White means there will be plenty of forward spots up for grabs in training camp. While there are some promising prospects on the horizon it will be difficult to fill the skates of the departing veterans, no matter how many bit pieces from the reigning Stanley Cup champs are brought in. This team is going to have a great deal of difficulty scoring.
Ok, I've already addressed this on SB Nation Atlanta - the Thrashers have replaced that scoring and have replaced it with defensively responsible players. How they're worse off is confusing - if losing Ilya Kovalchuk wasn't that big of a deal to the team, how is losing Todd White? TSN is usually home of solid reporting, but this is supposition and laziness combined. The same moves that had the rest of the hockey media sitting up and taking notice, even if for a second, seems to have flown over Bell's head.
Mike Chen of From the Rink is obviously on the ball. He has the Thrash ranked as next year's breakout team. I'm a homer and biased, and not sure if this is really the case (it might be a bit of hyperbole), but I do like how it sounds. That, and Mike put forth more effort in his paragraph blurb than TSN did in their preview, so I'm giving the edge to him.

Way late to answer, but you'll probably be notified.
Typical consumer drives are intended for relatively low-heat, low-vibration environments. The firmware on the drives is typically optimized for desktop access patterns, and will automatically slow or stop the motor to save power. The drive assembly itself is quite a bit different -- lower quality bearings, less isolation on the heads (protection from vibration). Datacenters are hot, noisy, and vibrate badly. Consumer drives fail in that environment at a lot higher rate.
Firmware is typically optimized very differently, for different access patterns, power usage, etc.
The same model consumer drive, over different revisions, may have different capacities. In a RAID-1 config, if the replacement drive, or the drive you buy to create the mirror, is a few hundred sectors smaller, there's no joy and no mirror. If I remember correctly, some consumer-targeted RAID controllers actually reserve a bit of the disk and don't present it to try to protect against that particular problem. I ran in to that a lot in the past, not as much recently, but it still happens. Hell, back in the mid-90s I had that happen with enterprise SCSI drives that weren't vetted through a vendor that pushed it -- same model of the Barracuda from a random cheap-ass vendor (Dirt Cheap Drives, if I remember correctly), different capacities. Ruined my bloody weekend.
Going outside the facts, and moving to the artificial reality of vendor contracts, HP or Oracle may well respond that they won't support something until you pull the consumer-grade shit out of the machine.
Now, after all of that -- I do use consumer drives in servers when it's worth it, and when I can afford the risk. My backup media servers (Netbackup) are Sun x4500s with 48 internal disks -- those disks have been swapped with cheap-ass WD 2TBs and have close to 100TB of available space. The disk is managed by ZFS with single-parity RAIDZ and is used for staging backups before pushing to tape to move offsite (weekly/monthly), and duplicated storage of short-term backups (daily).
I'll use it for scratch space, and I'll use it when I can afford to lose it (or at least lose access until I rebuild and restore). If there's data I care about on there, it's typically using ZFS so that block-level checksums are done and I'll at least know that the data is bad without silent corruption.
I've got shit to work with for budget (public higher education), and the cheapest reasonable "enterprise-like" disk I can get runs us about $400/TB usable -- Dell MD3200 SAS-connected array with dual controllers (four hosts redundant, 8 non-redundant, and it's really an OEM LSI Engenio (sp)). Best I can do for disk on the SAN is more like $600 (Nexsan, Dell/LSI MD32xx), and those prices aren't for a single TB purchase. Most SAN-connected disk is still in the $1000/TB range and higher. I'm counting these prices including support (NBD response, usually) for three years or so. The other constraint is that I want the vendor to exist in a few years and have some track record, and I need to be able to get it past purchasing, which usually means state-or-U-level contract -- I've had to support some random shit bought from HPC vendors, usually OEM'd Infortrend or similar, and don't want to deal with that shit ever again.
It's all about the application and level of risk that's acceptable for that app/system. I'll never stick shit disk on a SAN to use with a VMware cluster, but I will happily throw a pair of cheap disks in a standalone ESX server that's running developer VMs or testing. Prod systems need to be expensive shit, sadly, to avoid giving the vendor an excuse (I'm looking at you, Oracle).
The speed increase matters once in a great while too -- more RAM is usually more effective, and cheaper.

I do not plan to accept new graduate students for the 2013-14 academic year.
President, Society for Research on Adolescence
I think the teenage years are the most interesting phase of life. Learning who you are and what you want to be — how thrilling, for young people and for the adults that care about them! My research explores multiple aspects of development in adolescence, but with most of my focus on sexuality, schools and family relationships for vulnerable youth.
Much of my research is guided by an interest in creating social change to support healthy adolescent development. I'm most proud of my research that's been used to shape local and state policies and laws for school safety (most directly in California), and my most rewarding work is with students: I work with an amazing group of graduate and undergraduate students, and I find supporting their development and learning from them to be the most satisfying part of my job.
In my position as director of the Frances McClelland Institute for Children, Youth, and Families, I provide leadership for convening scholars to consider important questions that arise in the lives of today's children, youth, and families. We have several active research initiatives – you can learn more at our website.
I live in Tucson with my partner of more than 19 years, who is an architect. We love art, food, friends and travel. And we're learning about adolescence and parenting first-hand with our 17-year-old son!
- Adolescent sexuality
- Sexual orientation and identity
- Adolescent health
- Parent-adolescent relationships
For the last 15 years, I've focused my work in three general areas. First, I've joined with colleague Lisa Crockett, psychology professor at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, to study cultural differences in parent-adolescent relationships and the implications for adolescent adjustment. Most of our attention has focused on subgroup differences among Latinos and Asian Americans. For example, we've documented cultural distinctions in parent-adolescent relationships between Puerto Rican, Mexican-American and Cuban-American adolescents. Most recently, we've completed a book that examines parent-adolescent relationships in Asian American families with a focus on Chinese- and Filipino-American adolescents. Read the press release or the Research Link that explains the major findings.
My second area of research focuses on family economic stress and how it shapes parent-child relationships in the transition from adolescence to young adulthood - including the implications for risk behaviors such as substance use and abuse. A new study in collaboration with Katherine Conger at University of California, Davis, and Joyce Serido here at UA, explores these questions.
Finally, the bulk of my research has focused on sexual minority youth — youth who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). Nearly 10 years ago, I published some of the first large-scale studies that documented health risks for sexual minority adolescents. Since then, I've been interested in looking more closely at factors affecting that risk: What is it about the daily life of LGBT youth — whether at home, at school or in faith communities — that leads to risk or protects against it? Current relevant studies include:
- The Crossroads Collaborative, with Adela Licona and Sally Stevens here at UA, focusing on youth, sexuality, health, and rights
- The Family Acceptance Project in collaboration with Caitlin Ryan at San Fransicso State University
- Risk and Protective Factors for LGBT Youth Suicide, in collaboration Arnold Grossman at New York University
- Principal Investigator, The Family Acceptance Project. Funded in collaboration with colleagues at San Francisco State University.
- Principal Investigator, Adolescent Precursors to Financial Stress and Alcohol Problems in Emerging Adulthood. Funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
- Co-Principal Investigator, The Crossroads Collaborative: Youth, Sexuality, Health, and Rights. Funded by the Ford Foundation.
- Co-Investigator, Risk and Protective Factors for LGBT Youth Suicide. Funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
Former Projects:
- Principal Investigator, Building Partnerships for Youth. Funded by the Division of Adolescent and School Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Collaborator: Lynne Borden, Co-PI.
- Adolescent development (undergraduate)
- Human sexuality and relations (undergraduate)
- Adolescent health and development (graduate)
- Applied developmental science (graduate)
- Youth, Sexuality, Health, and Rights (graduate)
- Professional issues in family studies and human development (graduate)

I'm really pleased with the recipe. The salsa was delicious. I left the seeds in the Jalapeno, because I really like spicy food, and it turned out perfect. It was spicy enough to satisfy me, but not so spicy that others who aren't as fond of spicy food didn't like it. I served it with some blue corn tortilla chips, and it was very good. ^.^
I haven't had it in my refrigerator long enough to see how quickly the color changes, and how the taste holds up over a long period. But, I can definitely say that for the first 24 hours this is an amazing salsa.

TEAMS: Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals
Texas Rangers pitcher Neftali Feliz needs Tommy John surgery to repair a tear in his right elbow and likely will be sidelined until next summer.
The two-time AL champion Rangers said Feliz will have surgery on Wednesday. On Tuesday, the AL West leaders acquired ace Ryan Dempster from the Chicago Cubs.
Feliz was 3-1 with a 3.16 ERA in eight games, including seven starts. He has been on the disabled list since May when he was diagnosed with a ligament sprain in his elbow.
''It's a blow for him and for the club,'' Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. ''We all felt like he was making strides as a starter.
''It'll be a challenge for him, but the nature of the injury, guys do come back. The success rates are high,'' he said.
Feliz appeared to be on the mend after making three rehabilitation starts with Triple-A Round Rock. But he was scratched before a scheduled fourth start Sunday because of elbow discomfort.
Feliz was the Texas closer last October and was one strike away from clinching the Rangers' first World Series championship before the St. Louis Cardinals rallied in Game 6. The Cardinals won the championship the next day.

Best-Rite Economical Table Top Display
Works well Janice from Pennsylvania We bought if for our business and one of our work study students have used the display and it has worked out well for them. |
Table Top Display Ron Howard from Concord, CA It was not quite the item seen on the web page, instead of an all black frame it was polished aluminum all around and instead of the back being aluminum, it was made out of material. It seems like it will work as intended (it has not been set up for a display yet) and I certainly expect it will perform as desired. |
Very happy with product HLR from Waimea, Hawaii– Verified Buyer I use this for our nonprofit to take to conferences and workshops to inform attendees about our programs. It is of very good quality, not too heavy, and reusable which is a big advantage for us. |
Perfect table top display missions mobilizer Donna from New Orleans, LA– Verified Buyer use the product for church related presentations and displays. I take it to various conferences so is a good size for transporting but still has ample space for displaying information. Ok for checked baggage at airports. Love that velcro adheres to it, so I can prepare and assemble the information on the display prior to travel, close it, pack it, and upon arrival take it out of the carrying case and sit it on the table--voila!! |

I'm part of the New York contingent of an L.A. group called The Lamps. Along with former members of Jolene, The Connells, Squirrel Nut Zippers and The Bangles. We recorded this tune several years ago – I played violin on the CD. I also did the remix which ended up on this video here:

Studio Session – Blondie
I was invited to record strings for a Blondie track awhile back (violin / viola). The song, Restless, was originally intended for the album Panic of Girls but ended up as an outtake. Blondie finally released it and now everyone gets to hear it. It was a fun, relaxed session, Debbie's voice is great, and it's a nice track written by guitarist Paul Carbonara.
Mostly I remember that Paul's dog was curled up at my feet during the whole recording.
Sound Design – Neenah Paper / Cabinet
Wait, you're a graphic designer who works with paper and you don't use Neenah Paper's Cabinet software/app? That's just insane! Seriously, get yourself checked out. While you're at it, check out this promo video done in collaboration with gmake. Featuring lots of custom recorded wackiness, Stars NYC brings this short, humorous piece to: Zap!, Cronk!, Sproing!…life.
Soundtrack – "Creeping Like Snail…"
So I was walking my youngest son to school on rainy day in May and decided to take some video of him on my iPhone. Yeah, not a big hit with him. But by the end of it he seemed to be less annoyed with me than the beginning. I shot this without any intention of it being used for anything but I was struck by how well it worked with a piece of music I was working on at the time.

Soundtrack – Book trailer: "Effie Perine"
Books have trailers. It's true, I'm not making this up.
This particular book, Effie Perine, by Buzzy Jackson is a page-turning hard boiled mystery, dipped in film noir. It's dark and gritty and a little bizarre and if you've got a spare dollar in your couch cushions you can download this on your Kindle or iPad or phone or [placeholder reserved for as yet un-invented device]. You won't regret it.

Film Cue – "From good to bad..or worse…"
"A man, disheveled, tip-toes downstairs to the fridge expecting to find his daughter's leftover birthday cake. Instead, he discovers the head of Flight Attendant Barbie sitting on a plate, surrounded by cake crumbs. A crudely hand-written note taped to the front of the plate reads: 'you lose'"
Either way-something that was supposed to be awesome has gone horribly not-awesome.
Soundtrack – Rock, Paper, Scissors.
I've got something of a crush on found object percussion. Is that a thing? Well, I'm not sure what it's called exactly. I record things like scraping rocks, ripping paper, zippers, ice cubes in glasses etc.. Then I tweak them to make them sound either exactly like the thing they are, or nothing. I added the glockenspiel because who doesn't like a little glock with their rocks?
Soundtrack – commercial
Backwards guitars, strings, 6/8 time signature… You already know what it is: A woman, slow motion – flowing hair and gown – her delicate, bejeweled hand caressing the curves of a sleek automobile while a dashing man in a tuxedo peers approvingly over the top of his martini… Well, I suppose it could also have been a taco bell commercial showing a fajita being covered by some new awesomesauce. Either way, definitely slow-mo. This is the uncut version. (rhythm track is field recordings of water glasses and torn paper).
A little slice of pie?
The way I picture it, this is either a dream sequence in a Fassbinder movie or maybe a hallucination segment in a Darren Aranofsky film. The bummer is that neither of these guys has called me. However, that didn't stop me from making it anyway. In reality, this was a proof of concept for myself. I wanted to turn some found samples I had made into loops and sprinkle on some glitchy ambience to make something tasty. It's like a disturbing little slice of pie in that way.
Theme for "Required Reading"
The fabulous author, Buzzy Jackson asked me to create a theme for her weekly podcast Required Reading. The only direction I remember was that it was supposed to sound nothing like something B.J. Leiderman might have done. I had previously recorded the basis for a groove with a fuzzed out bass guitar and I thought: "B.J. would really hate this.."

In the Middle with You: Motown Stars Valisia LeKae and Brandon Victor Dixon
By Jonathan Mandell
Motown Tony Award nominee Valisia LeKae and Brandon Victor Dixon bring a complex relationship to the stage as music icons Diana Ross and Berry Gordy. * "You were my destiny," Diana Ross and Berry Gordy Jr. sing to one another in Motown: The Musical, which opened April 14 at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. The song is "You're All I Need to Get By," and the characters sing it at the start of their years-long tempestuous affair. Gordy, the founder of Motown Records, discovered The Supremes, made a star of Ross, and had a child with her. The lyric, however, seems true as well for the two performers portraying the complicated couple. Valisia LeKae may well have been destined to play Diana Ross, and Brandon Victor Dixon to portray her mentor and lover. LeKae grew up in Memphis and listened to Motown records in her grandfather's barbershop from an early age. Like Ross, she began singing in church. As a teenager working at the Tennessee theme park Dollywood, LeKae regularly sang the signature Supremes song "Stop! In the Name of Love." "We share the love of entertaining," LeKae says in her dressing room, filled with flowers, photographs of Audrey Hepburn, and a huge coffee-table book about Diana Ross. She rattles off their other shared interests: "The love of singing, being around people, fashion, hair, makeup. Her spirit—I feel we share that too." Dixon was struck from the moment he began working with LeKae, in workshops for Motown two years ago, by how similar his co-star seems to the person she's playing. "When we first met, I asked her, 'Are you trying to sound like her?'" Dixon says. "The similarities between them are very real, because Valisia idolized her." Dixon might not have recognized Gordy's name growing up, but he certainly knew Motown. "Michael Jackson is my greatest artistic inspiration," Dixon says in his dressing room, which has a picture of Jackson who, as part of The Jackson Five, was a Motown artist. Over the last two years Dixon has gotten to know Gordy, who is not just the show's central character; he is also producer and book writer. "As I learn about Berry," Dixon says, "I see the similarities in our characters more and more. Like Berry, I'm confident in myself. I also recognize that I don't know everything. He was smart enough to surround himself with intelligent people." Dixon grew up in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the son of an electrical contractor. "Berry had a very loving family that he relied on a great deal; my family is very close... And I have a need for control. Berry said he learned at a certain point he felt he had to be in charge." Isn't it easier to be in charge if you own a business than if you make a living as an actor? "I've turned down Broadway shows that I didn't feel were right for me," Dixon replies.
It's hard to say that Motown is strictly about the relationship between Gordy and Ross, given that the show features three dozen performers playing some 90 characters singing nearly 60 songs while changing into about 400 costumes. But the connection between the impresario and the singer is a main focus. And LeKae and Dixon have come to recognize their own interactions mirror that of the people they portray. "We're not in a romantic relationship, but we are certainly very close friends," Dixon says. "The closeness between Berry Gordy and Diana Ross helped make Motown special. Our closeness helps us on stage."
One time, Dixon noticed that LeKae seemed under stress and not taking good care of herself. Dixon also offers LeKae suggestions on how to improve her performance—something that Gordy did with Ross, inciting her initial resistance. "The one thing about Berry that drove Diana nuts is that he is always right," LeKae says. Brandon Victor Dixon and Valisia LeKae are both Broadway veterans—he is a Tony nominee for The Color Purple and she's been in four previous shows, including The Book of Mormon—and they make it clear that they are acting, not doing impersonations. Still, the way they inhabit their roles has persuaded more than just members of the audience. "Sometimes Berry forgets she's not Diana Ross," Dixon says. LeKae nods. "He'll say 'Remember that time when… ?'" |
