- Intro
- Hi dear friends here in TrekEarth.
I'm Hamed, formally Esmael, from Iran-Tehran.
I love photography since 10 years ago. At that time I started photography with 1.3 MP Benq camera.
It has 16 MB ram and no LCD. Whenever I wanted to delete a photo, a photo from last shots would be deleted first and it was technology that time.
I majored in Computer-Software in 2007 and work in Iran Chamber of Commerce, IT department (ICCIM.Ir) since then.
From 2009 I joined the Photography tours held in Iran, Mainly Chiilick.com, doorbin.net.
Apart form these groups, I've made many friends that improve my knowledge about Photography World.
I found here very useful for myself, see and study others opinions and activity is the thing that I gain in my very first surf & vist.
I like the TrekEarth Slogan, right there at top, left of the page :-) - Member Since

Sam Savitt
Sam Savitt (1917-
Savitt was inffluenced by Harold Von Schmidt, famous for his illustrations of the American West, under whom he studied, and Paul Brown. He graduated from Pratt Institute in New York City in 1940. He then spent four and a half years in Burma during the Second World War with the army engineering corps, but managed to find horses even there. He started his career doing magazine illustrations, and became well known for his illustrations for Dell comic book covers, for whom he did Western illustrations. He wrote, or co-
His first book was Step A Bit -
His illustrations have a unique charm. UK readers are most likely to have come across them in William Corbin's Horse in the House, which although it had a different cover illustrator in its Puffin printing, did keep the Sam Savitt illustrations inside. He had that very rare ability to draw both horses and people: some are not perhaps as succesful as others (I can't bring myself to like the cover of Suzanne Wilding's Harlequin Horse), but in the main I love them. They are full of energy.
Sam Savitt led an energetic life: always a keen rider, he continued to ride until he was in his eighties, when he had a stroke which unfortunately meant he could no longer paint or ride. The author of an excellent essay on Sam Savitt, Leo Pando, said "Once he lost his artistic gifts, he lost his will to live." Sam Savitt died on December 25, 2000.
Books illustrated by Sam Savitt: I suspect there are very many more than I have managed to find so far. If you know of any, do please let me know. Everything I have found is listed here.
Finding the books: I will only cover books Sam Savitt wrote here: with the ones he illustrated, how hard they are to find depends on the author's rarity. So, some of the Patsey Grays will cost you a lot! Of the books Sam Savitt authored Step a Bit is expensive, even as an ex-

A review of There Was a Horse
Many thanks to Susan Bourgeau, Lisa Catz, Amy M Buchanan and Konstanze Allsopp for supplying pictures and information.
There Was a Horse
The Dial Press 1961
The blurb: "When high school senior Mike Benson takes a chance and buys the big gray horse Viking, he
doesn't know what he is getting into. His girl friend, Jenny, vacillates between resentment and pride, but his
older brother, Chris, encourages Mike to put aside some of his duties on the dairy farm to spend more time
training Viking. Mike experiences one humiliating fall after another, and he seems to be losing the battle to
control Viking's erratic behaviour. Then Derf, a new farmhand shows up and provides clues to the mystery
of the Thoroughbred's past. The three throw themselves into a rigorous Steeplechasing training programme
that reaches a thrilling climax at the legendary Maryland Hunt Cup Race."
Vicki and the Black Horse
Doubleday 1964
Scholastic, pb, 1975, 1989, 140 pp.
This is the story of a friendship between two horses. Vickie buys a half-
turns out to be an escape artist and an outlaw, loved only by Pat, the black Thoroughbred who was the pride
of the whole Jordan family. Trouble begins when the wicked pony is sold, and the events that follow change
the lives of Vickie and her family, and their beloved Pat. That pony has to be found.
Vicki and The Brown Mare (sequel)
Dodd, Mead 1976
Published as The Brown Mare, Xerox, 1976
The blurb:
"One day, Vickie Jordan rides a mare that seems to have the ability to jump but has had no proper training.
Vickie convinces Skylark's owner that it is wrong to let a mare with such possibilities "rust out". During this
time, due to Vickie's hard work, the mare becomes a top-
small local shows, but when they move into the big time the girl makes a disturbing discovery about herself
and her horse. The situation is further complicated when the United States Equestrian Team shows an
interest in Skylark."
Step a Bit -
EP Dutton, New York, 1956
This is, oddly enough, the story of a foal. Step -
Midnight, Champion Bucking Horse
E P Dutton, New York, 1957
Scholastic pb, 1957, 1963, 1965, 1969
Parents' Magazine Press, 1974
The story of a real horse: Midnight was the greatest Rodeo bucking horse of all time. No one ever managed
to stay on his back for more than 10 seconds. He was not vicious: he simply competed with man and won.
His story is told in the first person by the three people who knew him best: Jim McNab, Vern Elliot and
Pete Knight. Sam Savitt worked closely with Vern Elliot, the only survivor when the book was written, to
recreate the horse and his story.
Wild Horse Running
Dodd, Mead 1973
Reprinted 1976
Scholastic pb, 1975
Another story based on fact: there are wild horses in the Prior Mountains of Montana, and it is a struggle to
keep them free. This is the story of the grey mustang Cloud, and his struggle to stay free. He is captured,
and escapes, but then meets an unhappy boy who has come West. The boy gets to know Cloud, but then
has a difficult decision to make.

Cherry Almond Muffins |
Thanks, Cathy, for spurring me on! And, thanks to repeat guests, Jim and Diane for sharing. It only took me 4 years to make them!
Cherry Almond Muffins (14 regular or 7 jumbo)
Batter ingredients:
1 ¾ c. flour
½ c. plus 1 T. granulated sugar
½ t. baking powder
½ t. baking soda
¼. t. salt
½ c. cold butter
1 egg
¾ c. sour cream
1 t. almond extract
1 8oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 egg
¼ c. granulated sugar
½ t. vanilla extract
¾ c. cherry preserves, slightly warmed
1/3 c. flour
2 T. granulated sugar
2 T. cold butter
1/3 c. chopped sliced almonds
Make topping by mixing flour, sugar and cutting in butter
until crumbly. Stir in almonds and set aside.
Make filling by beating (use a mixer) cream cheese, egg,
sugar and vanilla. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt. Cut in butter until it
resembles coarse crumbs. Separately whisk the egg, sour cream and almond extract until smooth, then add to flour mixture
until moistened. Batter will be thick.
Grease regular-sized muffin tin, or if preferred, a jumbo
muffin pan. Fill greased cups, ½ full
with batter. Divide cream cheese filling
and preserves evenly between muffin cups; swirl gently to combine. Cover with remaining batter. Sprinkle topping over. Bake for 30-35 minutes for jumbo pans; 20-25
minutes for regular pan. Cool five
minutes before removing from pans. Bon Appetit!
MY NOTES: After making these according to the
directions, I would make the following changes next time:
Divide batter in ½ before putting in muffin cups. Only add enough batter to fill approx. 1/3 of the
cup, then make a depression in center of batter. Spoon in preserves. Add cream cheese in an even layer. Top with remaining batter, then crumbly
topping, then bake. They are also good
without adding a top layer of batter, just as long as you add a healthy portion
of the crumbly topping to insulate cream cheese layer. I made regular-sized muffins and got 12, not

- Science and Mathematics have traditionally been published in journals and letters. Individual scientists and mathematicians devote a significant amount of time to rendering their ideas and results in "camera ready" formats. Learning how to do this efficiently and effectively is a skill which requires significant tool support. The tool of choice for many is LaTeX/TeX. These tools give the fine-grained control required for expressing complex ideas and their syntax, semantics and libraries represent decades of evolution under the close attention of skilled practitioners.
- The web is now the fastest, most effective way for humans to share ideas and information.
- LaTeX/TeX on the web is terrible.
The first two points are uncontroversial and I think I can convince you of the third.
In this article I explain my solution to the problem of expressing maths and science on the web. It is the system I use for this site and it is a huge improvement on how I used to do things.
How I used to do things.
There were three technologies I used to rely on for getting my information into "web ready" versions;
- latex2html/hyperlatex,
- texify, and
- javascript tools such as jsMath.
All suffer from the same problem, they don't have the packages I use. Here are the package definitions for some recent work of mine, after I have removed pdf-specific things such as geometry and bookmarks.
% document settings
% listing settings
\lstset{ % general command to set parameter(s)
basicstyle=\ttfamily, % print whole listing in tt font
keywordstyle=, % nothing happens
identifierstyle=, % nothing happens
commentstyle=, % nothing happens
stringstyle=, % typewriter type for strings
breaklines=true, % sets automatic line breaking
showstringspaces=false, % no special string spaces
literate={->}{{$\rightarrow\;\;$}}2 {\\}{{$\lambda$}}1 {|>}{{$\triangleright$}}1
{|>}{{$\triangleright$}}1 {forall}{{$\forall$}}1 {exists}{{$\exists$}}1
As well as these packages, I often make heavy use of xypic
. Putting aside the custom listings setup, were I to try latex2html/hyperlatex with this list of packages I would get lots of incompatibilities because these tools only work on a subset of typical latex distributions (such as texlive). It is hard enough working out how to render what I want in latex without needing to worry about what subset of latex will work. Furthermore, for parts that don't work, you need to create workarounds - eek! The same thing applies for the javascript libraries and the webservices (like texify).
Furthermore, many of these tools are buggy, or at least operate differently to texlive. Sometimes this is because they are trying to render TeX in HTML but sometimes it is just … well, I don't know. If you have used TeX for any period of time you know that debugging it is hard, you need every trick you can get your hands on. Using opaque - arms length - tools like texify make this harder. For example, here is the very first thing I tried to typeset for an article on type system proofs
\begin {align*}
\llbracket \forall t. \sigma \rrbracket & = \forall t. \llbracket \sigma \rrbracket \\
\llbracket t \rrbracket & = t \\
\llbracket \tau \rightarrow \nu \rrbracket & = \llbracket \tau \rrbracket \rightarrow \llbracket \nu \rrbracket \\
\llbracket T\ \tau_1 \cdots \tau_n \rrbracket & = T\ \llbracket \tau_1 \rrbracket \cdots \llbracket \tau_n \rrbracket
\end {align*}
Using texify, I unexpectedly got
while using my local latex, I got what I wanted
What went wrong with texify? I am sure there is a reasonable explanation, but I learnt TeX, not texify. I have enough trouble with TeX on my own machine.
In Australia, when you think maths, you think Terence Tao. Terence has a blog which includes reams of latex and which renders very nicely. It is an example of probably the best way to get tex online at the moment, wordpress. If it is good enough for Terence, it should be good enough for me. However, wordpress suffers from the same problem as above, it includes only three packages. They certainly cover a lot of ground, but one I use quite a lot, mathpartir
, is not amongst them.
Just generate a pdf
There is a solution that is obvious, I could publish everything in pdf. There is some problems with that though. Firstly, people don't seem to "browse" pdfs on the web in the same way they browse web pages. Sites that aggregate interesting reading material such as reddit even warn people if a link is to a pdf instead of an HTML page.
More importantly however is that pdfs are really difficult to read on mobile devices. The fixed page size means that if your screen is smaller than the page you are reading, you have lots of scrolling to do.
Finally, pdfs are static while web pages are living documents. Commenting on articles has become a huge part of discourse on the web. Embedding comments in an article is superior to having a separate thread in my opinion, and something you can't do with pdfs.
Summing up my requirements
- I need to use all my existing tools and packages, including the macros I have built up over the years.
- I need to generate HTML pages including comments.
My solution
In short, my solution is to statically generate HTML documents using nanoc, generating images via my local tex install for all material that does not easily render in HTML. This generates a static web site which can be hosted. I use web-services for dynamic page content like comments.
Take this page as an example. On my computer is a file called online_tex.md
which contains the source for this article. That file is mostly markdown formatted text, but it includes an aligned
environment with the latex shown above. When the page is processed by nanoc, it notices the aligned block and passes that to my local latex distribution asking it to render an image for that latex. I can use any local packages, any custom commands or environments, I choose the font (in this case mathpazo
to match the palatino font of the article). I get exactly the latex I want rendered in an image. My nanoc code takes care of putting that image in the right place and replacing the latex in the online_tex.md
file with a link to the image file.
At this point I have not really improved on pdfs since the page is static. In particular, there are no comments. nanoc takes care of creating a dynamic-looking website (for example, it generates a list of articles) but I need an external provider for my comments. As you can see below, I use disqus. This web-service allows me to embed a comment thread in an otherwise static page.
- You can host your pages anywhere, no databases, no content management system, no extra requirements.
- You have all the latex packages and commands/environments you are used to and they work exactly the same as they always have.
- Running nanoc is a lot like running latex and you get to see all your latex rendering output in case things are going wrong.
- The workflow with nanoc is very similar to latex. With your source in one window, you run a compile command and your browser is automatically updated with the new page. This is exactly how I work using TextMate/Skim on my Mac and how I have seen others work with Emacs/TeXShop/etc.
- People commenting on your article don't have access to the same system. They can use, for example, texify, so I don't think they are any worse off than they were before.
- Comments from your site are dependent on a third-party.
- You have to learn how to use nanoc. I found this much simpler than learning the alternatives though.
The Code
The system I describe is not available out of the box anywhere, I had to customise nanoc and create a few scripts on my machine to make this work. Here I describe what I did in case you want to do it too.

You will need to write a script which can take any file, embed it in some latex scaffolding (which includes all the packages, commands and environments you want to use) and run tex/latex over the resulting file. I do this with a script called texit
. I keep it in my ~/bin
directory. I won't show you mine since I wrote it while I was experimenting with some Haskell libraries and it is quite ridiculous. To start off with though, you can just create a simple texit
script with no scaffolding by calling pdflatex
pdflatex $1
You will need something called texit
since we will use it from our nanoc code. This generates a full page, you need to crop that page into a little image. We will use pdfcrop
for this, so ensure it is available in your path and update texit
to use it.
pdflatex $1
pdfcrop (basename $1).pdf $2
Running texit
on a file now results in a little pdf of the rendered latex, but we need a web-ready image format, so ensure you have image magick installed before the next part.
nanoc filter
The final part of the puzzle is a nanoc filter which looks for latex in a source file and passes it off to texit
before converting it with image magick. However, doing this naively will slow down the compilation of a site terribly. As you build up content you end up compiling hundreds of little tex snippets, which takes a very long time. The code below names each tex snippet with a hash of its contents and only regenerates it if the contents have changed. We cache/memoise the latex images making site compilation very fast. This also means that as you are drafting your document, you can quickly recompile the page after every change, giving you efficient feedback. This nanoc filter looks for two latex delimiters
, allowing you to embed any latex environment - double dollar signs (
), allowing you to put maths inline.
# textit filter
module Nanoc3::Filters
class Texit < Nanoc3::Filter
identifiers :texit
def run(content, params={})
req_images = Array[]
image_dir = @item.reps[0].raw_path.gsub(/(.*)index\.html/){|mm| "#{$1}images/"}
if (!File.exists?(image_dir))
system("mkdir -p " + image_dir)
# any environments
after_envs = content.gsub(/\\begin\{(.*?)\}(.+?)\\end\{\1\}/m) { |m|
digest = Digest::MD5.hexdigest(m)
image_loc = image_dir + digest
# keep track of the images we need because we will delete the others later.
req_images << digest
if !(File.exists?(image_loc+".jpg"))
File.open(image_loc+".tex", 'w') {|f| f.write(m) }
system("texit", image_loc,image_loc+".pdf")
system("convert","-density","500", image_loc+".pdf","-resize", "20%", "-quality", "100",image_loc+".jpg")
"

"
# any inline math
after_inline = after_envs.gsub(/\$\$(.+?)\$\$/) { |m|
digest = Digest::MD5.hexdigest(m)
image_loc = image_dir + digest
req_images << digest
if !(File.exists?(image_loc+".jpg"))
File.open(image_loc+".tex", 'w') {|f| f.write(m) }
system("texit", image_loc,image_loc+".pdf")
system("convert", "-density","500", image_loc+".pdf","-resize", "20%", "-quality", "100", image_loc+".jpg")
""
# working on code to remove images that are no longer needed, still needs some work
Dir.foreach(image_dir) { |d|
p d
if (!(req_images.include?(d.gsub(/\....$/, ""))) && !File.directory?(image_dir + d))
p req_images
p "heh"
File.delete(image_dir + d)
This code is a work in progress, so you can expect the version above is very slightly out of date (I will update it with major changes). You can get the very latest version from the repository of this site. This code should go in some .rb
file in nanoc's lib
directory (I use the existing default.rb
file) so that it can be seen by nanoc's rules. The final thing left to do is to run this filter on all files that might contain embedded latex, in my case that is my articles, hence the following rule in my nanoc Rules
file. The filter: texit
command will run the above filter over the whole file, generating all the required latex.
compile '/articles/*/' do
filter :erb
filter :texit
filter :kramdown
layout 'article'
layout 'default'

Jun 26th 2011 7:26PM I read the so-called Zulu apology. It is still bad for CCP and himself.
You never set a tone to so called addressed players concern by being condescending. How is it that it is the player's fault that they do not like CCP's idea of cash shop or the fact that CCP wanted to affect gameplay with putting ammo, ships,etc. in the future.
See the Big MMO can tell players to suck it up or leave and the community lets it slide every time. But Eve has those dedicated, loyal player base that love Eve to death and CCP cant afford that mass leaving with 2 projects in the works. Just look what happen to SWG when SOE/LA did CU and NGE.

And if the gaming journalist (what some want to be called) want to compare a unfinished product to World of Warcraft. Then lets compare it back to World of Warcraft 1.0.
To me it was a waste of time reading Blizzard does it better. It was nice of them to post old screen shots of TOR by the way.

Last year I wrote a blog post of all the things I was thankful for. Well, not all, but a lot of them. This year I wanted to do the same but didn't want to sound repetitive because I am still thankful for all of those things! So I decided that this year I'm going to be thankful for new things, things that a year ago I didn't even know were coming!
1. All the new clients I have met this year. I am so incredibly humbled and overjoyed to work with such awesome people. I feel so blessed to have the coolest clients! So grateful for you guys!
2. All the weddings I got to shoot this year! I shot weddings in Florida, Northern California and Southern California. I am so thankful for every single person that trusts me to document one of the most important days of their lives!
3. My sweet little Jack. We were not planning to get a dog this year at all! I'm so so glad this little guy came into our lives. He keeps me company while Matt is gone and cuddles with me all the time. He is always excited to see me and always forgets that I yell at him (not always a good thing, but still). I had no idea you could love a dog so much!
4. No more school! Oh sweet Lord, after being in school for way too long (20 years to be exact) I am finally free from homework and papers and books I don't want to read! Thank you Lord!
5. Being a full time photographer. I'm just amazed by God's ways. They're always better and they always surprise me!
6. Finding love in reading again. I think school killed my desire to read. I am really rebellious and part of me hates doing something cause I have to so I just never read. Since I graduated I have been reading books I wanna read and I am absolutely loving it!
7. New friendships. Friends make my heart rejoice!!
8. Learning about finances and budgets. Thanks to Dave Ramsey and Financial Peace University!
9. Zach and Jody and CreativeLIVE! Having the opportunity to be part of a CreativeLIVE audience grew my business is such an awesome way!
10. Winning a canon 70-200mm 2.8 lens from Scott Bourne! It happened at the beginning of the year and it still amazes me!
11. Having the chance to go to London this summer and seeing the Olympics live! It was such an awesome experience!
12. Lara Cassey and Making Things Happen. After going to MTH 2012 I feel like I have this newfound hope that wasn't there before. I feel like I can make things happen. I can make my life happen, instead of life just happening to me.
13. Cooking. In our first 2 years of marriage, I wasn't much of a cook. Poor husband. But this year I have slowly been learning more and trying to find joy, if not in cooking, at least in knowing my husband is a happy guy with a full belly.
14. Working out. Me and work out. We don't really get along but over the past couple of months I have been trying to kick laziness to the curb and I'm trying to be more consistent, which included me signing up for a half marathon. Pure craziness.
15. Starting to declutter our place and feeling so good about it. Less stuff, more peace and happiness
16. And I'm especially thankful for the Lord and his neverending love and grace upon my life. This year has had its ups and downs but it has been good because through every struggle the Lord has grown me and has drawn me closer to Him.
I hope you guys have incredible day surrounded by your loved ones!
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!

Wonderful Garden Hands!
By Dancing Queen
from Mount Joy, PA
About Me Budget Shopper
Comments about Garden Hands™ - Set Of 2:
I bought these garden hands back in September. The price was good and I had just trimmed some bushes and thought that this might be useful for next season when I trim bushes. Plus, with autumn right around the corner, I thought these would be useful for after I've raked my leaves into a pile. Today was the first time that I've used these garden hands and it made cleaning up leaves and putting them into bags SO easy! I am really glad that I bought them. With it being so cold I was also happy that the garden hands fit over my winter gloves. I would recommend these to anyone who does yard work and could use "bigger hands" when cleaning up.
handy product
By Sara the sewer.
from Cedarville,Il.
I used this product to pick up the pile of leaves and debris in the yard. Once I got my hands properly in the straps...I found it quite easy to use. It did a pretty good job. Maybe metal ones would be more sturdy as the plastic was weak picking up heavier wet leaves..soil,etc.
Garden Hands - Set of 1
By Miki
from Scottsdale, AZ
About Me Midrange Shopper
We have desert landscaping with gravel. These hands pick up leaves without also picking up the gravel. When using a rake, the gravel is also picked up making it too heavy to put in plastic leaf bags for disposal. Have given several to family and they too think they are wonderful and the handiest yard tool they ever used.

Big Help
By Poopsie
from Las Cruces, NM
Although I have not used these "helping hands" yet, I know they will be really handy in gathering yard waste, especially when my husband isn't around to help.
SAVES my hands!!
By Southern Belle
from Myrtle Beach, SC
Rake those prickly southern pine needles and scoop them up easily without scratching your hands. Easily goes into lawn bag without a mess!
garden hands love
By Mj
from AR
I have had two pair of these. They are so good picking up piles of leaves, I bought a pair as a Christmas gift. It is easy to use for small limbs and twigs. Use them all the time when doing yard work.?*
Jumbo Garden Hands
By Mike
from Columbia, Maryland
These Jumbo Garden Hands are great! Makes bagging up the leaves a breeze. We have used similar grabbers but these are more sturdy, yet still very lightweight. Highly recommend.
Perfect yard tool
By KK the great gardener
from Longview, Texas
My friend has a pair of these and told me how much she loved them. When I found them in the catalog, I ordered immediately. After trimming bushes and jasmine, I had a big mess to clean up. It took two handfuls to get all the trimmings in the trash bag. I even flipped them around to the edged side and got up all the small leaves and dirt. Best part is I didn't whack my head with the rake like I always do because this works better than the rake. I love this!!!

Hey everybody, this is my second year gardening and I'm almost certain that this year I am going to be eating everything that I will grow. Most of last year's crops were landing on the garden bed and ended up in my compost pile, which I'm not entirely upset about since they are passing on their nutrients to this year... This last weekend I put up a pole bean trellis. Take a look and let me know what you think! Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
should work. IMO. you could make it with just two poles instead of four. beans just need something to cling on and climb up. |
- Posted by highwaygardener 6b (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 16:29
Beans aren't picky...they'll just climb! |
- Posted by catherinet 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 21, 13 at 16:47
If a bunch of them grow up the trellis, I fear it might pull it down. Are your sticks in the ground much? You're probably protected from the wind pretty well there with your privacy fence, right? |
A problem I've has with wide trellis systems is missing out on harvesting some beans. So if you can't see them and they don't get picked then production slows down if not stops altogether. Your system will work just fine just make sure you don't miss out harvesting beans that have a way of hiding especially near the ground. |
The trellis looks OK in design and might be fine as you only appear to have 3 beans growing. But it depends on your weather and the number of plants. In my garden that would blow over pretty soon once loaded with lush wet bean vines. I use 7 - 8 foot bamboos or hazel poles at least 8 inches in the ground. Each plant gets its own pole. Even then the trellis is leaning pretty drunkenly by October. But I am growing scarlet runners, not Phaseolus vulgaris. Using the same number of green poles (6) you could do teepees for more plants which, imo, would be far more stable. |
I actually have set up two tripods in this picture. They are set into the ground a good 6-10 inches and tied firmly together at the tops. I was testing it out by "hanging" on the top cross-string with a good amount of force and it seemed to settle well and not give into too much force. This is my first year using a trellis for beans, and beans in general. We'll see how it works. :) |
- Posted by tormato 10 (email@example.com) on Wed, Jun 26, 13 at 12:53
You may find out you might have to go higher. Several of my pole beans get 12 to 14 foot vines in an average year. My poles (4 pole teepees) are 11' tall, sunk about 1 foot into the ground, for an overall height of 10 feet. In a good year the beans climb to the top and almost all the way down, ~ 20 feet. Gary |

It seems like they are random, but maybe more happen when I am watching one thing and recording another at the same time or in POP mode--which would make sense since that was introduced in 4.01. It happened about 4 times the first day with 4.03, and once yesterday. NEVER happened prior to 4.03. Is accompanied by a screech about half the time.

I haven't seen any HDD stops. Perhaps that's the condition that's causing the BSD? Of course, it could be that whatever is causing BSD causes the HDD to be stopped.
My avatar says it all.

I've never had a BSD with any version, including 4.01 and 4.03. The 'lost locks' problem seems to have been introduced with 4.01; I went from typically 0 with 3.66 to 20-30 with 4.01. This seems to have been improved considerably with 4.03. I'm reasonably sure the lock count refers to signal lock from the satellite.
I haven't seen any HDD stops. Perhaps that's the condition that's causing the BSD? Of course, it could be that whatever is causing BSD causes the HDD to be stopped.
Perhaps for some. But my machine never showed HDD problems in the counters.

Interestingly, I had purchased another 622 a couple months ago and when 4.01 downloaded it coincided with a hard disk failure in that unit and that was replaced in that last couple weeks. I have noticed no restarts in that replacement unit and I have high hopes that the replacement for my older unit will be as solid.

Ok.. when reporting these type of problems more details the better... The OP said lets get a thread going to capture the info, but at this point I am not seeing a lot of info just people indicating they are seeing them. I for one have not seen one on either of my boxes. Oh.. and I also see the lost lock count above 0.

What is your Dish installation like?
Is your 622 on a power conditionar or UPS?
Is everyone only seeing this with Side by Side PIP?
Do you have OTA?
How many times a day are you seeing this?
Channel changing/Pip Swap fix it?
Have you done a power cord reset?
Have you done anything in terms of keeping yoru 622 cool?
Have you done anything like a factory reset? Cleared your switch matrix etc?
622 revision number?
Differences in counters in the diagnostic screen.
And anything else you think would be helpful based on your experiences...
tnsprin has two 622.. Seems to of had some occurrences with L4.01. They have been reduced on L4.03. Did you have these occurrence on both your 622s?
I know these the question may sound redundant or seem like a waste, however, they may show a pattern? they provide a clue to E* etc. Just saying you are getting them is interesting, but to E* engineers provides not value except perhaps makes them scratch there head.

I have also cleared the matrix on both dvrs and replaced the sat cables , diplexors, and seperators on both to get my tuner back that I lost on both of my 622s. Other than the lost locks and the audio flucuations due to timers kicking in on the other tuners , the software is working for me.

Ok guys.. I see posts from people experiencing this but not a lot of details in terms of configuration.. ...
Note that I have not seen any black screens on my E vip622, but it does get somewhat less use. On a seperate issue both have seen complete lose of OTA channels under l401/l403.
Mode: Single
Usually use RCA audio through the TV's rather than activating my Stereos. In each case the stereo's are connected with optical.
The set having black screens has dolby/PCm (the other has pcm only)
Dish 500 with twin and dish 300 (61.5)with dual connected to a DPP 44.
On a UPS.
Never seen this while using pip. In fact don't normally use pip.
OTA is run seperately from a roof antenna. I have had failures both when using OTA and when not using it. With l403 the failure occurred while watching a previously recorded satellite program.
Was seeing this 3 to 4 times a day. With l403 have only seen it once in 5 days.
No remote controls work so could not swap, etc
I have done several power cord resets.
Have some added space below and nothing above. It is in regular room ari, but did nothing else for cooling.
Did try a NVM(ram) reset while on 401. Seemed to help for two days but then had several failures in a row on the next days.
Full number below.
Only counter change was AC/Pwr/hw wd. I am not sure if it always went up, or only when I pulled power.

Two days after the Obamacare marketplace opens, leaders of Rhode Island's health-care and business communities will gather at a free public forum to help make sense of the dramatic and complex changes that are under way.
The public will have the opportunity to hear from and question several of the most powerful people in health care in the state, as well as critics and proponents of the changes and people who will be directly affected.
Together, the nine-person panel will offer a broad view of what is happening and what could happen as the state and the nation undergo this once-in-a-generation upheaval.
"Obamacare in R.I.: Help or Hindrance?" is another in the Publick Occurrences forums sponsored by The Providence Journal in partnership with Leadership Rhode Island and Rhode Island College. The forum, Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Rhode Island College's Nazarian Center for the Performing Arts, is free and open to the public, although advance registration is required.
Publick Occurrences, now in its third year, "engages a larger community dialogue around topics that can be difficult to discuss," said Mike Ritz, executive director of Leadership Rhode Island. While all the forums have focused on complex topics, the health-care overhaul is probably the most complicated issue yet tackled, Ritz said.
"The hope here is that people will walk away with a clearer understanding of the potential changes that are going to take place with health care," said Ritz.
Rhode Island is leading the way in the implementation of the federal health law. While other states have resisted the law, Governor Chafee's administration supports pushing forward and making the most of the federal grant money to implement it.
HealthSource RI, the state's health insurance exchange, plans to offer an array of insurance options for individuals and small businesses. But it is new, and no one knows how well it will work.
Nancy Carriuolo, president of Rhode Island College, said: "Rhode Island College is pleased to be the site for a discussion of Obamacare and HealthSource RI, since questions abound in the Rhode Island community that our college so proudly serves."
Among those who will be answering questions Thursday are Christine C. Ferguson, director of HealthSource RI; Lt. Gov. Elizabeth H. Roberts, chairwoman of the Rhode Island Healthcare Reform Commission; Peter Andruszkiewicz, president and CEO of Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island; and Dr. Timothy J. Babineau, president and CEO of the Lifespan hospital group, the state's largest private employer and largest health-care provider.
The panel will also include Amy Gallagher, vice president for major accounts at the Cornerstone Group; Dr. Francisco "Paco" Trilla, chief medical officer of Neighborhood Health Plan of Rhode Island; Donald R. Nokes, president of the R.I. Business Group on Health; Dr. Nick Tsiongas, founder of the advocacy group HealthRIght; and Jose Garcia, a small-business man and member of the board of the Blackstone Valley Merchants Association.
Panelists will provide an overview of what Obamacare means for Rhode Island, how health insurance will change, and how people are likely to be affected.
"The purpose of our Publick Occurrences forums is to educate the public on matters of great importance to our state and nation, and health care fits that bill," said Karen Bordeleau, senior vice president and executive editor of The Providence Journal. "I am certain that these panelists — many of them top health-care experts in Rhode Island — will help the audience better understand the Affordable Care Act and how it will affect Rhode Islanders."
Audience members should arrive by 5:45 p.m. To register, visit: the event page or call (401) 273-1574. Registration is required and seats are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.

I'm going to ride of Eastern Shore of Maryland and was looking for someone who wanted to meet up along the way and ride to Pigeon Forge Tennessee and visit the attractions for a week and then ride to another resort area. Was looking for a female companion. It could be maybe even a group people. I'm leaving within a week the first of August. I've never ridden a long distance. Just ridden 30 or 40 miles and want to ride to a resort area. Maybe could even go to Busch Gardens and then on to Gatlinburg and then maybe on to Disneyworld.

Weymouth New Testament (WNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 You are therefore without excuse, O man, whoever you are who sit in judgement upon others. For when you pass judgement on your fellow man, you condemn yourself; for you who sit in judgement upon others are guilty of the same misdeeds; | 1 You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. |
2 and we know that God's judgement against those who commit such sins is in accordance with the truth. | 2 Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. |
3 And you who pronounce judgement upon those who do such things although your own conduct is the same as theirs--do you imagine that you yourself will escape unpunished when God judges? | 3 So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? |
4 Or is it that you think slightingly of His infinite goodness, forbearance and patience, unaware that the goodness of God is gently drawing you to repentance? | 4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance? |
5 The fact is that in the stubbornness of your impenitent heart you are treasuring up against yourself anger on the day of Anger--the day when the righteousness of God's judgements will stand revealed. | 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. |
6 To each man He will make an award corresponding to his actions; | 6 God "will give to each person according to what he has done." |
7 to those on the one hand who, by lives of persistent right-doing, are striving for glory, honour and immortality, the Life of the Ages; | 7 To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. |
8 while on the other hand upon the self-willed who disobey the truth and obey unrighteousness will fall anger and fury, affliction and awful distress, | 8 But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. |
9 coming upon the soul of every man and woman who deliberately does wrong--upon the Jew first, and then upon the Gentile; | 9 There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; |
10 whereas glory, honour and peace will be given to every one who does what is good and right--to the Jew first and then to the Gentile. | 10 but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. |
11 For God pays no attention to this world's distinctions. | 11 For God does not show favoritism. |
12 For all who have sinned apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who have sinned whilst living under the Law, will be judged by the Law. | 12 All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. |
13 It is not those that merely hear the Law read who are righteous in the sight of God, but it is those that obey the Law who will be pronounced righteous. | 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. |
14 For when Gentiles who have no Law obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they, without having a Law, are a Law to themselves; | 14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, |
15 since they exhibit proof that a knowledge of the conduct which the Law requires is engraven on their hearts, while their consciences also bear witness to the Law, and their thoughts, as if in mutual discussion, accuse them or perhaps maintain their innocence-- | 15 since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) |
16 on the day when God will judge the secrets of men's lives by Jesus Christ, as declared in the Good News as I have taught it. | 16 This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares. |
17 And since you claim the name of Jew, and find rest and satisfaction in the Law, and make your boast in God, | 17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God; |
18 and know the supreme will, and can test things that differ--being a man who receives instruction from the Law-- | 18 if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; |
19 and have persuaded yourself that, as for you, you are a guide to the blind, a light to those who are in darkness, | 19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, |
20 a schoolmaster for the dull and ignorant, a teacher of the young, because in the Law you possess an outline of real knowledge and an outline of the truth: | 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth-- |
21 you then who teach your fellow man, do you refuse to teach yourself? You who cry out against stealing, are you yourself a thief? | 21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself ? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? |
22 You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who loathe idols, do you plunder their temples? | 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? |
23 You who make your boast in the Law, do you offend against its commands and so dishonour God? | 23 You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? |
24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentile nations because of you, as Holy Writ declares. | 24 As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you." |
25 Circumcision does indeed profit, if you obey the Law; but if you are a Law-breaker, the fact that you have been circumcised counts for nothing. | 25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. |
26 In the same way if an uncircumcised man pays attention to the just requirements of the Law, shall not his lack of circumcision be overlooked, and, | 26 If those who are not circumcised keep the law's requirements, will they not be regarded as though they were circumcised? |
27 although he is a Gentile by birth, if he scrupulously obeys the Law, shall he not sit in judgement upon you who, possessing, as you do, a written Law and circumcision, are yet a Law-breaker? | 27 The one who is not circumcised physically and yet obeys the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. |
28 For the true Jew is not the man who is simply a Jew outwardly, and true circumcision is not that which is outward and bodily. | 28 A man is not a Jew if he is only one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. |
29 But the true Jew is one inwardly, and true circumcision is heart-circumcision--not literal, but spiritual; and such people receive praise not from men, but from God. | 29 No, a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a man's praise is not from men, but from God. |

More Marketing Wars: Lantus vs. Levemir
Another larger-than-life Diabetes Marketing War, this time without the romantic names:
A while back I wrote a post introducing the first-ever competitor to Sanofi-Aventis' long-acting insulin, Lantus. The new product is called Levemir, from Novo Nordisk.
What I missed more recently was that things turned ugly back in March. Sanofi filed suit against Novo Nordisk in a New Jersey U.S. District Court claiming that Novo was falsely promoting their drug as effective for 24 hours,…

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Miss Molly!
Facts about Miss Molly
- Breed: American Staffordshire Terrier Mix
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Miss Molly's Info...
I am housetrained, a special needs pet, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Other Pets at Rescue 2 Rehab
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Miss Molly, a McKinney American Staffordshire Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Staffordshire Terrier for sale in McKinney, or seeking a American Staffordshire Terrier dog from a breeder in McKinney.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in McKinney already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a McKinney breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Staffordshire Terrier breeders who help with American Staffordshire Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in McKinney paves the way for another one to be saved.

465 Critchley to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram K226 BATAVIA, 24 December 1948, 9.48 p.m.
Doctor Supomo, a member of the Republican Delegation, requests the following message be passed to Usman.
'I am the only Republican High Official left undetained in Batavia to maintain contact with Committee of Good Offices and Consular Corps- particularly with the Australian and Indian Consul-Generals.
Republican resistance against the Dutch aggression is nowhere broken. The Dutch official communiques concede heavy fighting against Siliwangi troops in Serayu Valley in Kudus area and in Malang area. In Djokjakarta fighting continues. TNI troops have dispersed to the mountains and forests to prepare for a guerilla struggle. The Rural population and peoples in the Dutch-occupied towns are far from undisturbed as the Dutch propaganda would suggest, but they keep silent with their fighting spirit and nationalism unbroken. In Federal Territories there are strong sympathies with the Republic. In addition [to] the resignation of Adil [and] Anuk [A] gung, Kusna Puradiredja and others have withdrawn from Bandoeng Federal Conference. Madura Parliament disapproves of the Dutch military action. Even Wal[i] Negar[a] of South Sumatra, Abdu[l] [Mali]k cannot approve of the action without reservations. In South Borneo, martial law has been proclaimed because internal peace is endangered. [1]
It is reported that Doctor Sukiman is in East Java to organize the resistance and that the Sultan of Djokjakarta left the capital before the Dutch attack but correctness of this news cannot yet be checked.
President Soekarno and other members of the Republican Government, have been taken [from] Djokjakarta to an unknown place of detention. Our demand to the Security Council to release Soekarno and others is most essential for the eventual resumption of negotiations after a cease-fire order and a retirement of the Dutch troops. In my opinion the Indonesian question can now only be settled with a third party intermediary with powers of arbitration. Three safeguards are essential for our national cause:
(a) the stipulation of a fixed date for the formation of an independent United States of Indonesia;
(b) international control during the interim period. The Indonesian question should remain on the agenda of the Security Council until transfer of Sovereignty by the Dutch;
(c) the Dutch troops not to be used during the interim period without the consent of the interim Government. The second Military action proves that the Dutch authorities will readily resort to military force.
Please approach the Australian Government requesting support of our cause along these lines and pass my message to Sumitro at Washington.'
2.The Republican papers Berita Indonesia, Merdeka were banned yesterday for two days and one day respectively because of the manner in which 'the papers have edited the news'.
3. There are reports that estate guards in West Java are deserting with all their ammunition, arms, and families.

COLUMBIA South Carolina quarterbacks coach G.A. Mangus was arrested overnight in downtown Greenville on a nuisance charge after urinating on Main Street and being uncooperative with officers, according to a police report.
Mangus was released from the Greenville County Detention Center around noon, a police spokesman said. Shortly thereafter, the 42-year-old, in his third year on Steve Spurriers staff, was indefinitely suspended by head coach Steve Spurrier.
G.A. has been suspended from all coaching activities until this matter is resolved, Spurrier said in a brief university release. We are all disappointed in his actions and will handle it accordingly.
Since arriving from Middle Tennessee State, Mangus primary responsibility as quarterbacks coach has been to work with, develop and mentor Stephen Garcia, the senior who has been suspended five times for various offenses and arrests. Garcia has yet to be fully reinstated after his fifth suspension, which stemmed from an alcohol-related outburst at a seminar in the spring.
If convicted, Mangus could face a $470 fine or up to 30 days in jail.
The police report says around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, officers driving north on Main Street in an unmarked patrol car noticed a man, later identified as Mangus, urinating on the curb and road in front of Carolina Ale House.
After stopping the car, the arresting officer found Mangus to be unsteady on his feet. He also had a strong odor of alcohol coming from his person. The report also noted that Mangus eyes appeared to be dilated and glazed over.
The report says Mangus speech was slurred and he did not provide straight answers to questions about who he had been with or where he had been.
Mangus and the USC coaching staff are in Greenville for the annual South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association All-Sports Clinic, which runs through Wednesday. Some USC coaches are scheduled to speak at the event, but Mangus is not one of them.
Preseason camp for the team is set to begin in eight days.

short,'' B.B. King tells EW. ''Jeff's passing is a tragic loss to the
world of blues.'' Leah Greenblatt

about growing up in South Central L.A. is one of them. After glowing
press for Love and Consequences (including a review in EW by yours

she was raised by a black foster mom, joined the Bloods, and received a
handgun for her 14th birthday; in actuality, she attended the same L.A.
private school as the Olsen twins. Riverhead, which published L&C, is recalling all copies and adds that it's ''saddened by this turn of
events.'' (Seltzer and her sister could not be reached for comment.)
