(04/04/14) - Tax day is quickly closing in on us. If you haven't filed yet,
don't worry - you're not alone.
According to the IRS, 28 percent of taxes aren't filed until the final two weeks before the April 15 deadline. If you are one of the 28 percent for whatever reason, here are some tips to remember:
- Don't let the time crunch cause you to make mistakes. Incorrect or incomplete filings could result in penalties.
- If you need to file for an extension, you must do so before the tax
deadline. Filing an extension doesn't mean you have additional time to pay, it
just gives you until Oct. 15 to get the paperwork together.
- Something to keep in mind, the penalty for not filing is usually greater than the penalty for not paying on time.
- Don't ignore your taxes altogether because you think it will take too long.
You will face penalties, interest and stress.
"Unfortunately, there are a couple things in life that you have to do. You have to pay taxes. So, sometimes you have to carve out an hour out of your day, even an hour and a half, to sit down, pull your stuff together. Pull your tax stuff, your mortgage interest, your W2's and just take a little bit of time. It's a part of life in regards to have to file taxes," said Lonnie Maxwell-Cook, CPA and partner at Plante Moran.

28 CFR 540.42 - Visiting times.
(a) Each Warden shall establish a visiting schedule for the institution. At a minimum, the Warden shall establish visiting hours at the institution on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The restriction of visiting to these days may be a hardship for some families and arrangements for other suitable hours shall be made to the extent practicable. Where staff resources permit, the Warden may establish evening visiting hours.
(b) Consistent with available resources, such as space limitations and staff availability, and with concerns of institution security, the Warden may limit the visiting period. With respect to weekend visits, for example, some or all inmates and visitors may be limited to visiting on Saturday or on Sunday, but not on both days, in order to accommodate the volume of visitors. There is no requirement that every visitor has the opportunity to visit on both days of the weekend, nor that every inmate has the opportunity to have visits on both days of the weekend.

Lightroom vs. Aperture: Loupe Views Compared
by Michael Clark
When I first starting using it I was disappointed to see that it would slow down after about 5 or 6 images (while louping thumbnails) and I'd have to wait for the image to load into the loupe at 100%. That was a drag.
Before Lightroom the biggest slow down in my workflow was checking images at a 100% for critical sharpness. Now, before you start critiquing my camera holding skills remember I shoot adventure sports - and a lot of the time I am hanging off a 2,000-foot cliff or shooting mountain bikers whizzing by at 40 mph. So it isn't a guarantee that every image will be critically sharp - most are, but I like to cull out those that aren't so they never make it to my clients.
With Lightroom the loupe isn't really a loupe like it is in Aperture. Loupe view in Lightroom zooms the image to 100% just by clicking on the image. And you can move around the image easily by grabbing it and pulling whichever way you want to go. When I first starting using Lightroom I was wishing for a Loupe tool like Aperture, but since I've found Lightroom's Loupe view to be much more useful than the loupe in Aperture.
I found that a key step to using the loupe view in Lightroom was to make sure you render the 1:1 previews - this speeds up the loupe function. Now to check critical sharpness I can just start with the first image in a shoot, go to the 1:1 loupe view and use the arrow keys to cruise through the images. On my G5 tower with 4 GB of RAM I can crank through hundreds of images and check their sharpness in a matter of minutes. Every once in a while Lightroom pauses to take a breath but I am very impressed with how fast it can load the 1:1 previews. And I like the fact that Lightroom shows me a lot more of the image because I can maximize the browser space by clicking off some or all of the panels as I scroll through the images as in the image below.
In reality the Loupe view in Lightroom is more equivalent to the Zoom view in Aperture with one small difference - in Lightroom when you grab the image to maneuver around it works very well - in Aperture it seems to jump all over the place and in my experience it is very hard to center it exactly where you want. Aperture has a little navigator window you can use in zoom view as well but that is even more difficult to use.
So while I still think the Loupe in Aperture is one of the coolest tools in any RAW processing or image editing software applications, for my workflow the Lightroom loupe view works extremely well.
That's it for now. Feel free to comment and I'll reply if I get a chance....
Adios, Michael

While I prefer LR in general, I adore Aperture's Loupe. You can also fix it on a key image area (look at the ~ and shift ~ shortcuts) and then change HUD values, so you have both a 100-1600% magnification in the Loupe and a full screen overview. You can also display RGB numbers in the Loupe, not hidden at the bottom of the LR screen. Apple got this tool very right.

Hi Michael
IF you have a mighty mouse, the scroll wheel will allow you to scroll all over (vert. as well as horz.) your 1:1 image in zoom mode. Try setting the scroll and tracking bars in system preferences if you don't like how it follows your finger.

|Awesome shortcut for the "Spacebar/mouse" tip there, Jeff. Awesome. And kudos for the mighty mouse scroll wheel tip, too. I prefer the loupe myself, but it's nice to know these little things; just in case.
2007-02-28 14:28:36
|Another note on the Aperture Loupe, and something I use alot, the loupe can be applied to any image displayed anywhere in the app, not just the one selected. So if you have a few very similar shots and you're looking for critical focus, you can just pass the loupe over the thumbnails in the browser, or whatever. Even in the pop-up "film strip"-like thing (I forget what it's called) in full screen mode. Basically the loupe will magnify any pixels in any image you can see on your screen.

Snooze Fest
I have issues. Lots. But today I only want to reveal one.
I have an incessant need to photograph people when they are sleeping.
I can't help it. They are so vulnerable and available. I'm like Dexter…except less blood and more drool.
I believe this obsession always starts with the fact that newborns sleep so much. It's the only time you can really photograph them. And I do. Oh do I.
Both of our boys like to sleep with us – Will more than Weston. And honestly, when they sleep in your bed, it's hard not to snap a shot.
Will lately has been doing a lot of snoozing on the couch…taquitos not necessary.
And of course the car seat is a favorite. (in Daddy's hat, or sunglasses, or while holding a photo of his cousin Clara)
This is his chair. I find him there probably once a week.
And I always find him in various positions in bed.
Weston is more of a one-position kinda guy and always prefers to sleep on his belly…with or without the paci.
But the lovies are almost a must in the sleep department for both boys…often times, multiple lovies for extra comfort. I will fully support this habit well into college…as long as the girls think it's weird…I'm okay with that.
Weston does this thing called the neck snuggle…which of course, I LOVE and forbid him to do to anyone else.
And I love the fact that Weston will fall asleep pretty much anywhere if you do the cuddle right…(on the elliptical, on a lawn chair, at an outdoor concert!)
But my absolute favorite is capturing the little funny shots. These are the photos that I will probably treasure when I am old and gray and can barely hold my Metamucil. They are the ones that I will look back on while singing Remember When. These are my microscope slides (Dexter reference).
Will has fallen asleep in some of the weirdest places…planking inside the toy chest, inside the Lowe's grocery cart and even crawled out of his crib to snooze on the floor…complete with hand-on-the-toy. just. in. case.
…digging for gold, while at the doctors office (he slept through the entire hour long appointment), and one time I found him under the bed (after a freak out that I thought he was taken!)
Weston can sleep at the beach..something Will never did, but Will has fallen asleep on a pillow on my lap under a blanket to the hair dryer…so we should call that a draw. One of the favorite things in my mommy book is that Weston sometimes does this thing that I labeled 'cell phoning'…because apparently babies also dream of keeping in touch with the ladies.
And we all know that the absolute best shot is when you capture both kids sleeping at the same time…because that means you can finally watch The Bachelor in peace. This has happened maybe one time. ever.
This weird obsession with sleeping photography must be genetic…because no joke…just look what I found on my phone.
Will took this gem of a flattering photo. And yes, there is a lovie present.
So that's my obsession…yes, I even have a folder on the computer called 'sleeping photos' so that I can keep them all together. Do you do this or am I the only one? Or maybe you have a different obsession? Or perhaps you are already asleep….because yeah…this might be the lamest obsession ever…
Regina permalinkJanuary 23, 2014
Katie, these pics are adorable! Your boys are the cutest! I only have one boy who is 5, but I tell you, if I can get him to nap with me on the weekends, it will only happen if he can fall asleep literally on top of me! Snuggled into my mid-section (is that weird?) is the only way, I can get him to stay still and relax. That means mommy will have to breathe very low (imagine 46 pounds on your lungs) though. But, that way mommy gets some most appreciated snooze, and the kid is happy. I am so glad my son is still a snuggle-monster at five years. Priceless! And we also do the neck snuggle. It just fits, right? Hopefully we have a few more years before they all think snuggling is totally un-cool….. Such a great post!

I don't know you, but I want you to know that you help me be who the Lord wants me to be in this HUGE job I hold as stay at home mommy! Blessings and lots of love!

I have a label on my blog called sleeping Sarah. I love taking pictures of her asleep. Just such a sweet and innocent face. I always want to just scoop her up. I could make a photobook with just sleeping pictures. And in fact, might add the folder to my computer. The mug I just made myself at Shutterfly includes a sleeping Sarah picture.
Sweet boys!

These are great!! My mom must have had this obsession too. There is a large envelope filled with pictures of me sleeping in all kind of crazy positions. I hope your boys have fun looking back on these pictures; I love looking at mine and I'm so glad my mom took them!

This is the happiest post ever. Like whenever I feel bad, I should come back to this. I wish I had as many pictures of my kids sleeping. They never fall asleep unplanned and I would wake them up getting into their rooms to take pictures. Anyway, I lovvvve this collection! It's the sweetest!

Thanks for that Katie! Finally got a chance to catch up on email and this just melted my heart. Especially as I sit here on the couch watching my daughter sleep with her hands behind her head. That has always been her comfy position. And I realized recently that both her dad and I do it too. Must be an innate thing though since she has been doing it since she popped out of my belly four and a half years ago.
Thank you for sharing yet another sweet thing about your guys' life!
Andrea R. permalinkJanuary 24, 2014
AAAwwwww! I miss the neck snuggle!!! My youngest used to do the neck snuggle, and would do it til he was about 4 and starting school. How I miss those days!!! He's 11 now. It would be weird if we attempted that now, huh??? LOL. Enjoy the snuggles while you can. They grow waaayyy to fast!
Angela permalinkJanuary 24, 2014
I am the same way! I love taking pictures of my almost 9-month old daughter sleeping. I can't tell you how many pictures I have of her napping on my husband. It's the cutest thing and makes me smile. Babies/kids are so precious when they are sleeping.

It's been over 8 months since I announced Erlisp to the Lisp community, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who had hoped that Erlisp would have come farther in all this time. However, many of you may not be aware of the things that have happened, hence this summary.
I've implemented (for SBCL):
Processes as threads.
Local message sending and receiving.
API to plug in your own pattern matcher.
Apart from actually writing code, I've been taking steps to get development back on track:
I've switched from GNU Arch to darcs for version control. Darcs is much easier to use, and in my opinion also conceptually nicer. (For example there is no difference between a working copy and a repository.) It's the first version control system I like to use.
To get more community interaction, I've started this blog, and there is now an Erlisp mailing list. Thanks to Mario Mommer of Common-Lisp.net for setting it up for me.
I've written a little Bash script that:
Synchronizes the main Erlisp repository with my local one.
Uploads a new Erlisp snapshot tarball.
Sends an e-mail to the mailing list about the new patches in the repository.
Other noteworthy events are:
I've been contacted by Heow Eide-Goodman of Lisp NYC about Google's Summer of Code. Apparently, Lisp NYC is a participating mentoring organization and they list working on Erlisp as one of their project ideas.
I'm very flattered by all this, but I'm not sure whether I can mentor a student to work on Erlisp. I'm only figuring this stuff out as I go, so I'm by no means an expert, and I'm not exactly drowning in spare time either (not even during the coming summer vacation).
As part of the website revamping I've made a (very primitive) search mechanism for the Erlisp reference section. There has also been a slow but steady stream of reference additions over the months.
This blog has been added to Planet Lisp.

Back Country Campsite Closed
Due to bear activity at Bryce Canyon's back-country, the following campsite has been closed until further notice: Sheep Creek
Kelly Cahill
There are many plant communities in Bryce Canyon National Park. Surrounded by deserts, Bryce's highland plateau gets much more rain than the lowlands below and stays cooler during hot summers. The relatively lush ecosystems that result are like fertile islands towering above a vast arid landscape.
A special area of notice are the "breaks" of the amphitheater, better known as the pink cliffs, they are exposed, nearly unforested areas. Meadows, seeps and springs are home to a different, grassy and deciduous plant community. Many of the meadows in the park are high and dry, home to sagebrush, rabbitbrush and grasses.

USS Bryce Canyon (AD-36) was named after the park. Commissioned 15 September 1950 at Charleston SC,(22 years after the park was established, to the day), Decommissioned 30 June 1981. A plaque, with a Flag and Ensign last flown over the ship are on display in the Headquarters building. More...

New York native, keyboardist Greg Lewis, a highly accomplished mainstay on the city's jazz, blues and funk scenes, who has earned a solid reputation for his versatile work around town in a vast variety of settings, steps out front for the first time on his debut CD Organ Monk. Lewis' sensitive and soulful keyboard playing has made him a favorite among some of the music's finest vocalists – including blues queen Sweet Georgia Brown, jazz and soul songstress Lezlie Harrison and ex-Brooklyn Funk Essentials singer/songwriter Stephanie McKay -- and earned him a featured role on saxophonist Sam Newsome's Groove Project recording 24/7. Now on Organ Monk the spotlight is finally shined on his enormous talents as the leader of his own allstar trio featuring multitalented guitarist Ron Jackson and drummer extraordinaire Cindy Blackman.
Born into a musical family, Lewis' introduction to jazz came from hearing Monk records from the collection his late father, pianist David Lewis, who was a dedicated fan of Thelonious. "It all started there," the younger Lewis proclaims, also naming unsung master Elmo Hope as a major influence. Lewis started his own piano studies at the age of eleven and began playing professionally around New York as a teenager. He credits jazz legend Gil Coggins, who sent him as a sub one night to a gig where there was a Hammond B-3, for setting him on the path to becoming a bona fide organist. These days Lewis has so devoted himself to mastering the difficult instrument with such fervor that he considers himself to be an "organ monk."
Working weekly for the past five years at the hip Brooklyn club Night Of The Cookers, with his regular trio featuring Ron Jackson on guitar, Lewis has honed his skills on the B 3 to become one of New York's first call organists. It was at the club that he first met drummer Cindy Blackman, who was so impressed with his playing that she sat in with the group and made arrangements to later perform with Lewis. An unwavering fan of the Tony Williams Lifetime group, featuring Larry Young on organ, Blackman is the perfect complement for Lewis', who names Young as his primary influence on the instrument (along with, of course, Jimmy Smith as well as Sly Stone). Lewis cites Young's landmark interpretation of "Monk's Dream" from the classic Unity album as a further inspiration for his decision to devote this his first date to the music of Thelonious.
Although albums memorializing Monk's music have become somewhat commonplace since the iconic pianist/composer's death, Organ Monk is most likely the very first on which the date is led by an organist. Lewis' years of familiarizing himself with both his instrument's expansive capabilities, as well as Monk's sizable songbook, have led to this inevitable debut recording that breathes new life into the master's repertory, while exploiting the Hammond B 3's vast (and somewhat untapped) potential for creating new sounds.
Despite its classic organ-guitar-drum configuration, Lewis' trio is far from typical in approach to making modern music. His arrangements of the fourteen Monk titles on the record are consciously contemporary in their originality, respecting the composer's melodic, harmonic and rhythmic voice, while using the different elements of each piece to propel the group into its own unique nexus, one where the customary divisions between soloist and accompanist are blurred, or even erased. Beginning with "Trinkle Tinkle", one of Monk's more intricate melodic lines, Lewis' mastery of both the B 3's dual keyboards and its too often neglected bass pedals is clearly evident, as is his fearless approach to arranging for the trio, with Blackman's powerful drums doubling the intricate melody with him.
Lewis' unaccompanied introduction to "Jackie-ing", slowing building around the chords of the playful Monk march before inviting drums and guitar to join him is an eloquent lesson in dynamic tension and release. The trio trips around in space with Lewis' organ at times reminiscent of Sun Ra before sliding smoothly into the infectious melody of "Criss Cross", with Blackman's drums offering a jagged contrast to the velvety tone of the B 3, before the trio settles into an earthy mood and then blasts back into the stratosphere to conclude astrally. The band's easy swinging reading of the beautiful "Light Blue", featuring Jackson's soulful guitar, is a ringing affirmation of the group's ability to shine brightly in the classic organ trio tradition, as is their burning up tempo rendition of the not often heard "Played Twice" that features an exciting Lewis-Blackman dialogue.
The date's other nine Monk pieces each offer a different perspective on the master's work. There's the bouncing rhythm that jumps out of the long tones that set up "Boo Boo's Birthday" and its fittingly funny quote by Lewis of the nursery rhyme "Mary Had A Little Lamb", followed the lilting rhythms of the bebop masterpiece "Coming On The Hudson." Blackman's energetic drumming on the fiercely burning "Four In One", reminiscent of Art Blakey's work with Monk, incites Lewis and Jackson to some of their best soloing of the date. Lewis' playing on "Locomotion" with his tonally expansive keyboard work, intelligent use of space and cleverly complementary bass line is nothing short of masterful. On "We See" the trio once again swings mightily, with Lewis clearly demonstrating the influence of the great Jimmy Smith on his virtuosic playing.
"Monk's Mood" is the date's most beautiful ballad, with Lewis displaying the sensitive lyricism that has made him the favorite accompanist of so many of New York's finest vocalists. The trio shows off its intuitive split second timing in an edge of your seat dramatic reading of the marvelous melody of "Think Of One", before digging down into their shared deep blues roots. Lewis' harmonic daring is clearly evident on his audacious arrangement of "Work." The final Monk piece of the date, "Introspection", is a fitting example of the unmitigated joy the trio finds in coming together to make great music.
The date's concluding coda is a Lewis original, "Kohl's Here", a fittingly Monkish melody dedicated to his teenage son that gives listeners a brief glimpse into the keyboardist's own impressive abilities as a composer. A talent that is sure to be seen in greater abundance on future releases from this extraordinary artist.

Gwyneth Herbert, whose sublime version of Neil Young's Only Love Can Break Your Heart appeared on the soundtrack to 2009 Rom-Com smash Leap Year has been hailed as a priceless talent. A quirky, original singer-songwriter, inspired as much by Janis Ian and Joni Mitchell, as by Billie Holliday or Nina Simone. Her latest collection, All The Ghosts (on boutique British label Naim Edge) features ten terrific songs, which speak to you directly, without forethought for genre or category. In their melodic immediacy and observational characterization, you might hear the Lennon-McCartney of 'Sgt Pepper', or the Ray Davies of 'Lola', rather than any jazz stereotype.
Expect witty, captivating vignettes populated by a living, breathing cast of beaten-down dreamers, jaded city-dwellers, and women in a quandary. She appears here on piano and ukulele with support from regular guitar partner Al Cherry and double-bassist Sam Burgess.
One of the UK's finest and most original singer-songwriters plays three shows in support of All The Ghosts, her critically acclaimed new album. Released in the US on June 8th on Naim Edge (via Allegro)

Growing up in small town Uniontown, Ohio where he picked up his first pair of drumsticks a the age of 9 he took his first steps into his musical career as a Jazz Performance major at Youngstown State University in 2000.

Chris also has been teaching lessons of all age varieties from the skill ranges of beginner to advanced college for over a decade.
Chris above all else is a modern drummer taught in the old tradition of swing; his ethos is to "put his sound" underneath a player and let the fire start to spread. He is currently residing in the New York City area and performing with/leading his modern jazz group "The Nue Jazz Project". He has performed in many venues across the city such as Smoke, Cleopatra's Needle, Smalls, Fat Cat, 55bar, The Garage, The Iridium and many others.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This climb is pretty short. It starts with an undercling layback aiming left for a sloping rail. From there it goes straight up following crimps and jugs up top.
The route is located on the secondary face. To get here walk left from the parking lot around the main area. Then take another left. (Don Quixote wall would be the right) The climb is on the left side of the wall and the start, marked with the undercling traverse is pretty obvious.
I used a yellow C3 at the bottom and a clear alien up higher. The bottom could have been protected with a #6 camalot, and the top could be protected with a 2.5 tech friend or #2 camalot. You could protect again at the jugs up top, but they look a little loose.

I filled up two spiral bound field level notebooks…
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $14
I filled up two spiral bound field level notebooks for my ecology research in Florida last summer. The waterproof paper worked very well despite the humidity and daily unannounced thunderstorms, although any pen used will create smudges and dry slowly.
- Waterproof paper
- Durable binding and cover
- Ruler markings on the back cover
- It takes a while for pen ink to dry on the waterproof pages
- The ruler on the back cover is not in metric
If you are looking for a product to use in the field, whether for work or pleasure, then these notebooks are excellent for the price. You can order them in just about any size, with options for type of paper and binding cover.
Keep in mind that if you intend to write a lot in them you should go ahead and buy one with a solid polydura cover, since they come with more pages per notebook.
Welcome to Trailspace, Seth! I'm wondering if a pencil wouldn't be a better option than a pen????
2 months ago
Pencils do work, however they can also fade or be smeared long after the pages are dry. Since I can't afford to lose any field data I could only stick with the pen.
