Great location from which to go to Ippodromo Capenelle for Italian Derby. Comfortable bed and clean bathroom. Traffic going by on road noisy though.

A little disappointing for the price we paid - our room overlookied the busy road and was noisy and a little cramped for what we thought was a "suite". Good breakfast though, and the restaurant is excellent.

There are ways of gaming that we're all familar with. Today we're taking a look at a way of getting 'into' the game in a new way, using your head. Literally.
Input devices for PC gaming have long been locked into a few types: Game pads, Wheels, Joysticks (with and without rudder pedals), Keyboards and Mice. Most gaming devices are generally a variation on a theme. They substitute for keyboards or mice in game making life easier for players by decreasing complexity or trying to. Every so often there comes a product that breaks the mold and allows for additional gaming freedom. Footpads, Gaming gloves and others have come out in the recent past that were aimed at bringing a new level of interactivity to gaming.
Most have met with various levels of success. Some are still around while most have come, made a bit of a noise and disappeared leaving many people wondering where they were when that product came out after they hear about it (IF they hear about it at all) and leaving the owners with a product with limited usefulness and no support.
Today I'm taking a look at the newest input kid on the block. The NaturalPoint TrackIR 4:PRO. The TrackIR 4:PRO consists of a clip with three reflective points that you either clip to a hat or headset and a USB module that sits atop your monitor and tracks the reflective spots on your clip and translates those movements in the drivers included with the TrackIR Pro into 6 axis movement in games that support it.
From the NaturalPoint site:
TrackIR Changes Everything :: Moving Your Head Changes the View ::
Experience real time 3D view control in video games and simulations just by moving your head! The only true 6DOF head tracking system of its kind. TrackIR takes your PC gaming to astonishing new levels of realism and immersion!
The TrackIR 4:PRO is NaturalPoint's premium product – the best optical headtracking system available.
Put Your Head In The Game!
As you move in your chair and rotate your head small amounts : your game-view will precisely correspond.
You never have to look away from the monitor because all aspects of your motion are amplified and adjustable.
TrackIR Changes Everything ::
Moving Your Head Changes the View ::
Degrees of Freedom ::
There are only 6 ways you can move around in 3D space. There are 3 ways to lean, and 3 ways to rotate.
The technical term for all of these movements is "6 Degrees of Freedom" (or "6DOF").
True 6DOF support is one of the main things that puts TrackIR well ahead of any other input device.
TrackIR Enhanced Mode ::
When a game developer builds support for TrackIR directly into the code for their game, we call that game "TrackIR Enhanced". The latest TrackIR Enhanced titles are always listed here.
TrackIR is a new form of input that doesn't affect the mouse, keyboard and joysticks you are already using. Those other inputs are now freed to do the things you'd expect your hands to be doing, completely independent of your new head-tracking view controller.
3D From A Flat Screen ::
This whole experience is commonly called a "VR fishtank" method (as opposed to the "VR Goggles" experience you may have seen in movies), because you don't have to wear any sort of headset or hardware. Everything is handled using advanced motion capture techniques.
The point of TrackIR is to make controlling your game's view completely seemless and natural. You will forget you have TrackIR setup at all, because looking at your monitor is like looking through a window into a 3D world.
Customization is the Key ::
What makes TrackIR much more than joystick or mouse are the ways TrackIR's software lets you customize how your movement will be processed for each of the 6 Degrees of Freedom
You can make your left/right rotation very fast, so you can turn 180 degrees in your game by just moving an inch in real life. You can then make your up/down rotation very slow, perhaps because you're in a car and there's nothing of interest to look up or down at.
You Want 6DOF Control, Even For a 2DOF Game::
TrackIR tells your game exactly where your head is, in 3D space. Not all games take full advantage of this input, because there wasn't an easy and cheap way to control your game in 3D space before TrackIR. But since TrackIR knows exactly what you're doing, it will be easier to control the game. For example, leaning to the right won't be mistaken for turning your head. That's the benefit of separately tracking all of the "6 Degrees Of Freedom" in which you can move.
Now, you might be asking "What does this mean for me and my gaming?" Well, I've been playing Flight Simulator 2004: A century of flight with it for the past week and in that game it allows you to look around the cockpit of the plane and see more of what's going on. trust me on this, when you're flying a Lear 45 in real time to Hawaii you need something to break up the monotony. It allows you to look at the controls in the virtual cockpit view and see all of the controls available rather than the few controls that fit in the 2D cockpit normally seen in the game.

Skyline High School seniors use their business smarts to help charities

"I thought, if we could take a small part of that and channel it toward nonprofits, we can create a big social impact," Narayan said.

Art teacher's influence spreads beyond her garage doors

Betsy Matias' art studio looks like a typical space for creative instruction. The walls are covered in paintings and drawings, aprons and brushes are packed into a corner, and several stools lay upside-down on a large table.
But Matias doesn't teach art in a normal studio. She teaches in the garage of her Sammamish home, and over the past 18 months, her business has skyrocketed from 10 part-time students to a five-days-a-week gig during the school year.

Sammamish residents' new winery opens Saturday
September 21, 2012
New: Sept. 21, 3:50 p.m.
When Heather and Doug Roberts, of Sammamish, decided to open a new winery and tasting room, they knew they wanted it to be about their family.
The couple named their vineyard after their daughter, Ashlyn and the wines and tasting room after their other daughter, Amelia Bleu, both students at McAuliffe Elementary.
"We have two daughters," Heather Roberts said. "One got the vineyard, and one got the wine label."
Now, after years of work, they are debuting their 2009 vintage wines at their new tasting room in Woodinville, which opened Sept. 22.
They wanted to go a step further to honor their families, however, said Heather Roberts. Both she and her husband had lost a brother to cancer, and they wanted to commemorate them. So they named one of their wines Riverenza, the Italian word for reverence, in their honor. The couple also plans to donate 5 percent of their profits to cancer research.
"We kind of started the whole business around family," Heather Roberts said.
The trip to owning their vineyard started in 2009. The economy had tanked, and the couple was looking for investments to protect their money. They saw a vineyard for sale near a vacation home they own in Chelan.
The 6-acre vineyard had been planted, Heather Roberts said, but grapes (barbera, syrah, cabernet sauvignon and merlot) had not yet grown. With the unsteady economy, they thought that if they chose not to open a winery of their own, they would still likely be able to sell the grapes to other winemakers.
"We knew we had some options," Heather Roberts said.
They spent the past couple years learning everything they could about winemaking and the business. As the economic picture has begun to turn around, they decided to make a go of opening their own business.
They found people to help them with harvesting the grapes, then carted them back to the area for production. They've partnered with another winery and use its facilities to make and age the wines.
Doug acts as the winemaker, Heather Roberts said.
They have a barbera and the "Riverenza," a red blend made of syrah, cabernet sauvignon and merlot available for tasting and purchase.
Heather said they also have a merlot available for tasting, but it is not yet for purchase. There is also a 2008 riesling they made with grapes from another vineyard, but they are nearly sold out of it, she said.
While they had been working with local grocery and liquor stores, Heather Roberts said that navigating the new state liquor sale regulations had forced that issue to the back burner as they tried to open their new tasting room.
Now that the tasting room is getting off the ground, she said they hope to begin working with other wine and liquor stores in the area.
She said they don't want to grow the business too quickly, but eventually hope to add more varieties of wines into the mix.
"We'll definitely offer another white in the future," she said.
If you go
The Amelia Bleu winery is at 19501 144th Ave. N.E., suite D-500 in Woodinville.
Grand Opening weekend, the tasting room will be open Sept. 22 from noon-7 p.m.
Regular hours are Saturdays from noon-5 p.m. and Sundays from 1-5 p.m. The winery, which is part of the Woodinville Warehouse will also be open from 4-8 p.m. the third Thursday of each month.

LaCucaracha residents were up in arms this past week following the revelation that local proprietor and fellow Texan, Garth Chesney, is actually a big, fat Italian guy from New York named Sal Merlino. Merlino moved to LaCucaracha several months ago and opened the town's first hoagie shop, Cowboy Longhorn Hoagies. Though locals had no idea what the hell a hoagie was, the establishment was a massive success. "The Italian sammich is so good it made me slap my mama. Er—not mama—wife. It made me strike my wife. And I got in a big ole' heap a trouble for that," said Jett Boudreaux, who pronounces "Italian," "Eye-talian."
While the town is still reeling from the damn Yankee's betrayal, some locals claim they were on to Merlino's ruse from the start. "I knew he wadn't no Texan when I done asked him if he saw the game and he said 'I don't watch high school football' or somethin' or other," volunteer fireman Eddie Perez revealed. "I had a friend from New York. Guy was killed for $43.00 with a switchblade knife. I'd love to spit some Beechnut in that dude's eye," he added. (Editor's Note: Perez's story turned out to be the lyrics to Hank Williams Jr.'s classic, "A Country Boy Can Survive." He couldn't be reached for comment as we went to press.)
The jig was up when housewife Marie Clark saw Merlino on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives on DVD, hawking sausage and peppers to host Guy Fierri in Brooklyn, NY. She wasted no time in telling all the gals at the community center and word spread like wildfire. (Ed. Note: No relation to the actual wildfire southeast of town.) The restaurateur was confronted, and after some initial denial, came clean about his past. Merlino later addressed the issue in depth on his blog, Gabagool In Texas, writing, "I'm deeply sorry to all youse [sic] guys in LaCucaracha. I just wanted to be accepted. Salud!" There was an accompanying video of him, without audio, just waving his arms in a very over-the-top manner.
Mayor Meyer weighed in on the controversy stating, "While impersonating a Texan is a serious offense and certainly cuts deep, I do hope Mr. Merlino sticks around as that hoagie thing he makes is a, pardon my French, damn fine sandwich."

How, Uh, Romantic? Name a Bronx Zoo Cockroach After Your Sweetheart for Valentine's Day
Looking for a last minute Valentine's Day gift that's really unique? For just a $10 donation to the zoo, you can immortalize your sweetheart by naming one of the Bronx Zoo's 58,000 Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches after them. You'll even get a fancy certificate you can send to remind them of what you've done, even if reminding anyone you care about that you named a roach after them doesn't seem like an advisable thing to do. You've got to give the zoo points for novelty on this one, because no one -- and I mean no one -- expects to be indelibly linked to a huge, noisy terror-bug for Valentine's Day. Read More

Celtic. 9x12 inches. The popularity of Celtic music has soared over the last decade due to the resurgence of folk instruments, Celtic dancing, and Irish culture overall. This amazing collection assembles over 400 songs from Ireland, Scotland and Wales - complete with Gaelic lyrics where applicable - and a pronunciation guide. Titles include: Across the Western Ocean * Along with My Love I'll Go * Altar Isle O' the Sea * Auld Lang Syne * Avondale * The Band Played On * Barbara Allen * Blessing of the Road * The Blue Bells of Scotland * The Bonniest Lass * A Bunch of Thyme * The Chanty That Beguiled the Witch * Columbus Was an Irishman * Danny Boy * Duffy's Blunders * Erin! Oh Erin! * Father Murphy * Finnegan's Wake * The Galway Piper * The Girl I Left Behind Me * Has Anybody Here Seen Kelly * I Know Where I'm Goin' * Irish Rover * Loch Lomond * Molly Malone * My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean * My Wild Irish Rose * The Shores of Amerikay * The Sons of Liberty * That's an Irish Lullaby * When Irish Eyes Are Smiling * Who Threw the Overalls in Mistress Murphy's Chowder * and hundreds more. Also includes many Irish popular songs as a bonus. About Hal Leonard Fake Books A "fake book" contains songs written in a concise format that includes only the melody and chords, letting you interpret the song's performance as you feel is appropriate. This is great for quickly learning songs by yourself or with an ensemble. Each song in a fake book only has a single melody actually written out in notes, which is usually the vocal or lead melody. This melody will have the lyrics written beneath the notes, with each word aligned to its corresponding note. Above the notes of the melody will appear the names of the appropriate chords to play - for example, a "C minor" chord would be written as "Cmin" or Cm", rather than writing out all of the notes in those chords as they appeared in the original version of the song. This format is very compact, which is why you will often see fakebooks containing 500 or more songs.

Chris Bullen has always loved guitar. He started playing at age 11 and continued to develop his craft until the age of 24. This started a hiatus that lasted almost 15 years. During his time away from the instrument, he discovered a deeper appreciation for music and returned to guitar with a new mindset and renewed passion. Not long after his return, Chris was personally signed by Steve Vai after Steve heard a couple of tracks from Chris's first instrumental album "Interstellar Groove Machine". Six of the tr…

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
President Obama at a celebration of his signature of hate crimes legislation.
In a decision released August 2, 2012, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit rejected a challenge to the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the 2009 law that makes it a federal crime to assault an individual because of his or her sexual orientation or gender identity. The lawsuit was brought by Gary Glenn of the American Family Association of Michigan and three Michigan ministers who claimed that the law violated their free speech rights to denounce homosexuality.
In upholding the September 2010 decision of a U.S. District Court in Michigan that had ruled that the ministers lacked standing to challenge the law, the Appellate Court called the lawsuit "unnecessary" and merely "a political statement." A concurring decision criticized the briefs filed by the Thomas More Legal Center for misrepresenting the legislative history of the Act.
Glenn, head of the American Family Association of Michigan, and pastors Levon Yuille, René B. Ouellette and James Combs alleged that the law would lead to their criminal prosecution for expressing anti-gay religious beliefs, in violation of the First Amendment.
In their 2010 lawsuit, the pastors claimed that they have a religious obligation "to state clearly the immoral nature of homosexuality," which requires them to "publicly denounce homosexuality, homosexual activism, and the homosexual agenda as being contrary to God's law and His divinely inspired Word."
The appeals court, in an opinion by Judge James S. Gwin, said the pastors lacked standing to sue, because the law prohibits only "willfully causing bodily injury."
"The Act does not prohibit Plaintiffs' proposed course of hateful speech," Judge Gwin wrote.
Gwin said the lawsuit marshaled "no actual facts to support an assertion that the government has taken or intends to take any investigatory actions under the Act against those merely engaging in protected speech."
The decision upholding the district court's ruling was unanimous. But Judge Jane B. Stranch added a tartly-worded concurrence in which she criticizes the misrepresentations by the plaintiffs of the legislative history of the Act and of the Attorney General's comments about enforcement. She exposes a number of factual errors and misrepresentations in the briefs submitted by the plaintiffs. In other words, they are riddled with lies.
In rebuking the plaintiffs, Judge Stranch pithily observes, "The protection of religious speech is a bulwark built by our Constitution for the purpose of guarding a foundational right. But the safeguards provided by that bulwark include standards not only for laws that are enacted but also for those who seek to litigate the propriety of those laws."
The decision in Glenn, et al. v. Holder may be read here.
The Matthew Shepard and James W. Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act was named for a college student brutally murdered because of his sexuality and for a young Black man viciously murdered because of his race.
On October 28, 2009, President Obama signed the bill into law. It was the first federal bill that specifically recognized the civil rights of glbtq people. Fittingly, the parents of Matthew Shepard, Judy and Dennis Shepard, were present at the signing ceremony.
Later that day, Judy Shepard issued the following statement: "When Dennis and I started calling 10 years ago for federal action to prevent and properly prosecute hate crimes against gay, lesbian and transgendered Americans, we never imagined it would take this long. The legislation went through so many versions and so many votes that we had to constantly keep our hopes in check to keep from getting discouraged," she said. "We are incredibly grateful to Congress and the president for taking this step forward on behalf of hate crime victims and their families, especially given the continuing attacks on people simply for living their lives openly and honestly."
In the video below, President Obama speaks about the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act at a reception held after he signed the bill. He eloquently declared that "we must stand against crimes that are meant not only to break bones, but to break spirits--not only to inflict harm, but to instill fear."

Beyond Representation: Tactics for building a culture of resistanceSubmitted by Anonymous on Mon, 07/12/2010 - 10:21.
"Revisiting successful aspects of the anarcho-syndicalist tradition and its tactics of revolutionary struggle (within and outside of the workplace) is something that could potentially move beyond representation and build the culture of resistance. By coming together in one network based on direct action, solidarity and the ideas of anarchism, we could offer a very real alternative to both reformist action and the capitalist system itself. It could do what the current unions can't or won't do." read more »

A recent report published by African Development Bank Group has confirmed that Africa is now the world's fastest growing economy, with around one third of its countries experiencing annual growth of over six percent. The private sector continues to be Africa's main engine for growth and the region is expected to remain an attractive destination for foreign investment for years to come.
With such opportunities come risks. Investors in Africa will be well aware of the legal and political risks that continue to be endemic to many of Africa's economies. An important challenge for foreign investors is how to mitigate these risks to the maximum extent possible.

I have an
ArrayList with custom objects. Each custom object contains a variety of strings and numbers. I need the array to stick around even if the user leaves the activity and then wants to come back at a later time, however I don't need the array available after the application has been closed completely. I save a lot of other objects this way by using the
SharedPreferences but I can't figure out how to save my entire array this way. Is this possible? Maybe
SharedPreferences isn't the way to go about this? Is there a simpler method?
I have an
After API 11 the SharedPreferences Editor accept Sets. You could convert your List into a HashSet or something similar and store it like that. When your read it back, convert it into an ArrayList, sort it if needed and you're good to go.
You can also serialize your ArrayList and then save/read it to/from SharedPreferences. Below is the solution:
EDIT: Ok, below is the solution to save ArrayList as serialized object to SharedPreferences and then read it from SharedPreferences.
Because API supports only storing and retrieving of strings to/from SharedPreferences (after API 11, its simpler), we have to serialize and de-serialize the ArrayList object which has the list of tasks into string.
In the
Similarly we have to retrieve the list of tasks from the preference in the
You can get ObjectSerializer class from Apache Pig project ObjectSerializer.java

You can convert it to JSON String and store the string in the shared preferences.

best way is that convert to JSOn string using GSON and save this string to SharedPreference. I also use this way to cache responses.
i got complete solution to store arraylist in sharedpreferences and retrive in any activity when you want
check this: http://www.nkdroid.com/2014/11/arraylist-in-sharedpreference.html
You could refer the serializeKey() and deserializeKey() functions from FacebookSDK's SharedPreferencesTokenCache class. It converts the supportedType into the JSON object and store the JSON string into SharedPreferences. You could download SDK from here
Why don't you stick your arraylist on an Application class? It only get's destroyed when the app is really killed, so, it will stick around for as long as the app is available.
The best way i have been able to find is a make a 2D Array of keys and put the custom items of the array in the 2-D array of keys and then retrieve it through the 2D arra on startup. I did not like the idea of using string set because most of the android users are still on Gingerbread and using string set requires honeycomb.
Sample Code: here ditor is the shared pref editor and rowitem is my custom object.
You can also convert the arraylist into a String and save that in preference
You can save the Arraylist after converting it to string using
After API 11 you can save set directly to SharedPreferences though !!! :)
You can convert it to a
As @nirav said, best solution is store it in sharedPrefernces as a json text by using Gson utility class. Below sample code:

Oprah Announces New Primetime Show Called 'Oprah's Next Chapter'
The Oprah Winfrey Network made the announcement today. The new series will be an hour long show titled 'Oprah's Next Chapter' and is set to debut sometime in 2011.
Part of what Winfrey will be doing is traveling outside the studio, to places like Egypt and China. "I'm going to take viewers with me, going to take celebrities I want to interview with me," she said. A statement from the network read that Oprah will be "getting untethered from the chairs, opening up her world and taking you with her," PEOPLE reports.
'Chapter' will feature "riveting conversations with the people we all want to hear from, in some very unexpected places."
Other new programs that will appear on the network include 'Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind,' which showcases celebrities such Lady Gaga and James Cameron and a reality series following country superstar Shania Twain called 'Why Not? With Shania Twain.' And of course, Oprah's BFF Gayle King has her own 'Gayle King Live!'
Winfrey even has reality super-producer Mark Burnett on board for 'Your Own Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star.'
Last November, Oprah tearfully told her faithful audience that in 2011, 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' will go off the air.
"Twenty-five years feels right in my bones and feels right in my spirit," she said at the time.

I'm not an Oprah fan, but if she is making so much money from us "white folks", why do you watch? Oprah's show has always been on in the day time. I work during the day. If you are fortunate enough not to have to work then volunteer at a hospital or shelter. Doing something worthwhile will make you feel better about yourself and you won't have to hate someone who is better off than you and of a different race.

Oh that's right Jennifer. Oprah is the almighty helper of the world. No, we aren't idiots as you've called us, but you are certainly gullible. Check out who she tries to help. I don't recall it being any Americans. Everything is outside of the US.
I also seem to recall years ago when she was a guest on David Letterman and she pulled out the racist card almost right away. You could see the confused look on Dave's face.
I can't stand the woman and hope she goes far far away and I hope her new show fails big time.

Nayanika's current research project is a comparative analysis of national identity projects and the forms of conspiratorial theorizing against the state they allow for. Specifically, she plans to undertake ethnographic research on India's ambitious new biometric-ID project and compare it with the now-scrapped UK Identity Cards Act 2006. This research will ask why and how has the introduction of new IDs premised on new technologies allowed for multifarious critiques of democracy and the state; what are the specific contours of the conspiracy theories new IDs give rise to; and under what conditions are states able to fend off clamors of conspiracy by the state against its own citizens (India) and how and when do they succumb to it (UK)?
Nayanika Mathur is a postdoctoral research fellow on the Leverhulme-funded project Conspiracy and Democracy: History, Political Theory and Internet Research.
She completed her PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Cambridge in 2010. Before joining CRASSH she lectured in Social Anthropology at the Universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh. Her doctoral research, based on eighteen months of fieldwork in India, traces the process whereby India's largest anti-poverty legislation was implemented through a portrayal of the everyday life of the development bureaucracy of a Himalayan state. Her research interests are centered upon the study of the state, law, bureaucracy, human-animal conflict, materiality, new technologies, and government with an area interest in India and the Himalaya.

This week's guest blogger is Ross Konigsburg. Ross is a member of the Loudoun Photography Club.
When we are in nature taking picture it is important to think about not only where the animal you are shooting is currently but also what it is doing and where it is going. A case in point is the picture above.
I came across this coyote in Yellowstone. It was one of two coyotes that were on one side of a river and me on the other. They were a very scenic couple in the snow. However I knew that they were hunting along the river's edge and would be moving.
I took a few images where they were and sure enough they began to move in the direction I wanted which was down river. I picked up my tripod with camera attached and started to move. I walked faster then the coyotes and was able over a course of a mile to get several interesting images of the coyotes.
Then I saw a fallen tree along the water. I picked up my gear and set up ahead of the coyotes. They had a choice to go high or low. If they went high, I would have no shot. One did go high, but the other one went low and I got the shot.
What enabled me to get the shot in addition to anticipating the coyote's behavior was setting my camera and not fiddling with it. The light was constant and since I shoot in manual spot metering, I was able to use the settings for the depth of field I wanted at a shutter speed that would freeze the motion. This enabled me to concentrate on the composition of the shot knowing I would have the settings for the image and feel that I was after. In other words, the only concern I had was the composition I wanted.

The sound of crashing water greets you in thunderous waves, drowning out all other sounds. Before night begins its transition into day, the veil of darkness teases the imagination with the magnificence and sheer power of water tumbling over cold, hard stone on its journey to the ocean.
A lone tree clinging to a rocky overlook watches the water continue on its passage before it plunges into the abyss below.
Mist rises above the plunge pools, reaching for the clouds in the sky. On a cold winter's morning water droplets immediately freeze on whatever surface they rest, creating jewel like patterns. The rising sunlight bounces around their inner surfaces, refracting light into its many wondrous colors.
Huge stones, sculpted by water over millennia reveal natures own, slowly evolving artwork. Gorges form as the rushing water punches its way through hard stone. Its energy finally spent, slowing now to a trickle. The sound of gurgling water is only interrupted by the singing of birds and an occasional splash as a fish lunges out of its habitat to capture a dragon fly, scurrying about the calm water surface. This is a magnificent place.

Most of us are weekend shooters. Some of us may not even leave our yards or neighborhoods. Others may venture into Washington DC or to one of the many parks throughout our region. As a result, we are often "shooting" the same or similar subject matter from one weekend to the next. And, frankly, there is nothing wrong with this, because each new day carries with it new light, new weather challenges and new results, but often our images simply don't feel new to us.
For me, as badly as I may want to go out and spend the day with my camera, I often find that I have already dismissed the day's results, knowing that I will be seeing the same view, the same monument, or the same type of flower or falls. To overcome the urge to stay in and nap in front of the TV (whichever golf tournament happens to be on), I have come up with ways to challenge myself; changing how I shoot or changing how I post-process my images. My newest loves… Lensbaby and HDR processing. Sometimes separately and sometimes together.
We hear a lot about HDR these days. From NIK Software, to Photomatix, to IPhone capabilities, so today, I want to discuss Lensbaby.
Lensbaby is a creative effects lens that adds varying levels of blur and distortion to an image. The amount of blur or distortion is in the hands of the artist and controlled through both the optics and aperture rings chosen. Lensbaby lends itself to every type of subject matter, from flowers to objects to buildings and structures, to people. The results are only as limited as your imagination. Challenge yourself to see our world through a new lens!
Everyday subjects found throughout our region transformed by Lensbaby. These images were taken with the Lensbaby Composer with the Double Glass Optic. Aperture rings and shutter speed noted below. For more information on Lensbaby, equipment, and examples of the types of images that can be created with their optics, see www.lensbaby.com. For those interested in exploring Lensbaby, Corey Hilz has a great book, titled "Lensbaby: Bending Your Perspective" that introduces the optics, the aperture rings, as well as provides wonderful images to inspire you! You can find his book on his website at www.coreyhilz.com/store.html.
Also, this year at the Nature Visions Expo, there will be a workshop on Lensbaby, so stayed tuned for more information!

An amazing wildlife event occurs in the Mid-Atlantic for only a brief time each year! Horseshoe crabs come ashore on the Delaware Bay beaches to spawn during the full and new moons at high tide in May and June. During peak spawning, the horseshoe crabs will form clusters along the edge of the water. The females will dig a hole in the sand, depositing a few thousand eggs, which are then fertilized by the males as they crawl over the nests.
Horseshoe crabs are important for migratory birds and our ecosystem. During the spawning, many different shorebirds, including the Red Knot—a threatened species whose numbers are declining—migrate from South America, stopping over in the Delaware Bay to feed upon the horseshoe crab eggs that get washed to the surface. For wildlife photographers, this is an excellent opportunity to photograph a less common species of bird. Other bird species that can be photographed feasting upon the horseshoe crab eggs are Ruddy Turnstones, Dunlins, Willets, and Sanderlings. Interestingly, horseshoe crabs are also important for science and modern medicine. A compound extracted from horseshoe crab blood is used to detect the presence of bacteria in pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
Slaughter Beach, Pickering Beach, and Port Mahon in Delaware are all excellent locations for viewing the horseshoe crabs. Port Mahon also tends to have large numbers of migratory birds. The peak time to see the horseshoe crabs is during the 3-5 days around the full and new moons in May and early June. For 2011, that means for the few days before and after May 17 and June 1. In order to photograph the horseshoe crabs during the best light, time your visit so that high tide coincides with sunrise or sunset so there are the largest number of horseshoe crabs during the best light conditions.
Please flip any stranded horseshoe crabs while photographing this remarkable species! Each year thousands of horseshoe crabs get stuck upside down, at which point they stick their tail in the air hoping for a wave to flip them. If no wave comes, they end up stranded on the beach and die from drying out. The ERDG—Ecological Research & Development Group—has implemented a "Just flip 'em!" program to raise awareness about the horseshoe crabs and to ask individuals to show compassion and flip the horseshoe crabs over so they can crawl back into the water. Horseshoe crabs are completely harmless—they do not bite or sting—and their claws are gentle and will not hurt you. Although harmless, their tails are sensitive, so please flip them by the side of their shell rather than by the tail.

Here's a texturized image from the Charleston waterfront:
One of the great ways to make an image your own is by adding a texture. There are many textures out there and many can be downloaded for no charge from Fllickr and from other social photography sites. Of course, you can photograph your own: skies, water movement, sand and rock patterns, and rusted iron are some possibilities. But, there are also sets that are designed and are quite subtle and appealing, easy to stack texture upon texture in photoshop at various opacities for a different look.
Here's a great plugin to get you going texturizing!!
Totally Rad's Dirty Pictures – This plugin comes with 21 really good textures loaded in it's easy to add your ow n. This is attractive because it enables you to try textures, one after the other, without closing out of photoshop and reopening. This is a very quick way to run through your textures to find the one that suits the image. Then you have the options, as in photoshop, to select various blend modes and to adjust the opacity. The price is $149, which is a bit steep, but if you think in terms of time saved and ease of use, it definitely pays for itself.

The Most Interesting Place In Your State
Redditor Midwester looked up each state on Wikipedia, and grabbed the first item under "points of interest" to compile this U.S. map of the most interesting place in each state. I was surprised to realize how many of these I have actually been to. Large size here.
Then a day later, he came up with a second map, this time using number counts for the most popular attraction in each state. Large size here. As you can see, they don't match with Wikipedia's "points of interst." I like the first map better. Land Between the Lakes is nice, but it's mostly in Tennessee, and only really enjoyable if you have a boat or a vacation home. Mammoth Cave is awesome! -via Uproxx

Navy Pier for Chicago? That makes the entire first map invalid!
Just to keep the dissent going- The Indianapolis Children's Museum would get my vote over the zoo any day!
Navy Pier is the LEAST interesting place in Illinois. Even the water treatment plant next door is more interesting. (Actually, it is: it's the world's largest.)
These "facts" are picked by tourists.

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS — Agspring announced on Feb. 27 that it has signed a definitive purchase agreement to acquire the General Mills' grain operations in Idaho.  The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The transaction is expected to be completed before the end of May 2014.
The General Mills' grain operations in Idaho are in Newdale, Blackfoot, American Falls, Rockford, Idaho Falls, Pocatello and Schiller Siding.
NAMPA — All season long Blackfoot's Bryant Sargent has been focused on the goal of winning a state championship.
After the first day of the state wrestling tournament Sargent's goal is one match away.
The Balckfoot senior made it through the first day of the tournament unscathed and will take on Bonneville's Jared Bird today for the 170 pound 4A title at the Idaho Center in Nampa.
Sargent took down Nampa's Afton Silva in the first round 6-4, he then earned a win over Bishop Kelly's Mark Greene in round two to move on to the semifinals.
In the semifinals Sargent defeated Kuna's Braydon Shell by a score of 9-5 to take on Bird. Sargent and Bird have met a couple of times this season and have split each meeting.
Sargent is the only Bronco still alive to win a state title as Chase Wasia and Lane Hunt were defeated in the semifinals at 138 and 120 pounds respectively. Both will begin action today in the hunt for a top five finish.

Don't Forget Insurance
If your current health insurance doesn't cover you while your abroad, you should consider getting international travel insurance just in case something should go wrong.
Bicester Nightlife
The 2 main nightspots in Bicester are The Litten Tree, and G's Winebar.
Both are a magnet for mini-skirted girlies on the pull or hen parties out for some fun!
They are good places to go, as long as you can stand the music.
Dress Code: G's doesn't seem to have a dress code as such, but the Litten Tree will check your boots for steel toe caps!
They can get a bit fussy, at times, but generally speaking, if they let me in, then you can get in too!!!
Bicester Transportation
The public transport around Bicester is pretty good, considering the size of 'us'.
There is one set place, you can't really call it a 'bus station', but it serves it's purpose.
You do, however, have 2 train stations.
Bicester North Station, will take you to Birmingham or London, obviously with stops in between.
Bicester Town Station will carry you to Oxford, and from there, you can get to almost anywhere your heart desires.
Bicester Shopping
Designer Outlet
Bicester Village (pronounced 'Bister') is a designer shopping outlet. If recreational shopping is your thing, it's a good place to visit, but even designer 'bargains' can be pretty expensive in real terms, so if you are on a strict budget, aim for window shopping only. Most shops are fashion, but there are also lifestyle and homewares brands, such...more

Bicester Local Customs
Culture? Here? Hehehe... I don't think so....
The library is small, the hospital-smaller.
The nearest decent museum is in Oxford. We have no cinema, no bowling, skating is restricted to rollerblades along the high street.. We do have one of those!!
But, we do have a local football team, and rugby team, so we can't be All that backward... can we?
Bicester Warnings and Dangers
If you are around Bicester Village, and you are a celebrity, you may get some 5' 2" female come up to you for an autograph.
We have had the likes of Ian Botham, ( cricketer), Robin Gibb, of the Bee Gees, Richard Branson sometimes pops in, and more recently, 24th Jan 2006, one of my heros, Ali Campbell, lead singer of UB40.
I was armed with 21st Anniversary tour souvenir and pen, and caught this lovely young man in the carpark as he was about to leave.
Bicester What to Pack
Luggage and bags: A toorhbrush, mobile phone and map book... what more can I say!
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Lots of people seem to 'aquire' these items from their hotel, why bring your own?
Photo Equipment: A camera would be handy, just in case myself and Eddie are out shopping... she brings her handbag too!!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Long walk to the beach, we don't have one!
Apparently, we are the furthest town from any beach... I don't know how true that is.
Miscellaneous: Bring whatever you think you may need or feel the urge for.
Bicester Off The Beaten Path
If you are fortunate enough to be here for any length of time, you will discover the 'joys' of living close to the countryside.
Example; Just outside Bicester, we have a large chicken farm... battery hens, I suspect.
You will Know when they are mucking out the sheds, because you can smell it for miles!!!

The short walk along the high street is ok, but watch out for the 'Sleep-walkers'. My fondest memory happened on Jan 24th 2006, at around 4.15 p.m, when I went to Bicester Village and got an autograph from the lead singer of my favourite band....One of my best days here, so far.more
