Visitors can attend seminars given by OAL staff on ways to prevent injury and ask any related questions while visiting our facility.
Our sport performance trainers will perform a functional screening test on each of our athletes to observe any imbalances or weaknesses in different trouble areas of the different sports. Wherever the most common injuries are taking place, we can make strides in targeting and strengthening those areas. By giving our athletes a scored assessment we can show how susceptible one athlete may be to a specific injury and provide the necessary attention.
We will offer our athletes nutrition seminars on the best ways to ensure that their bodies are able to compete at the highest expected level. A nutritionist will discuss what their calorie intakes should be based on the intensity and duration of their training and competition. Athletes will learn how to fuel their bodies and stay hydrated for all-day events. Maintaining weight and strength though proper nutrition is one more way to become an elite athlete.

Almost There!!
:) Almost achieved what has taken much sweat and tears ha ha... during the usual UK crappy weather...
have a peek please and let me know what you all think!
Re: Almost There!!
Very cool!
A barrel vault oven - so you'll be baking lots of bread, I guess. Will you burn the supports out when you fire it? I read about that on another site and thought it would be a fun thing to do.
Where will the mosaics go? Just on the oven or all over the stand as well? I can't wait to see this!
Re: Almost There!!
Well, thank you! :)...I hope to mosaic the oven and the table top and leave the wood store area just rendered white maybe or something plain...
Watch this space!
Re: Almost There!!
and also..... we have already removed the plywood...it was in small strips so we were able to get it out..
Re: Almost There!!
I'm in the UK as well ... how has the foundations held?
Re: Almost There!!
Very nice job, I really like the mosiac work, nice touch. That barrel vault looks nice and roomy inside. Thanks for posting the pix

This is sounding personal. I am sure that Bill's system will run,

Seriously though.... Who can be serious.... peeing myself here.
No seriously....
The laws DID change. My brother tried to get access to his daughters in 2000 - 2002 thereabouts under the OLD laws. He had a million dollars business, houses... quiet a rich lad who built his business up with hard work. He took his wife to court to get "access". Because she was the "custodial" parent (terms never used anymore) she got unlimited legal aid and he lost everything. Ran out of money and didn't see his girls for ten years. Sooooooooooo.. mens groups thought it was unfair (and it WAS) so they lobbied the government to change the laws so it wasn't so much in the womens favour. Well when you get ONE group lobbying to change laws, the lawmaker tend to over compensate. So in 2006 the laws changed.... and now they have swung too far the other way. NOW they are being changed AGAIN at the end of this year because too many women have gone to court without representation and ended up in very very dire circumstances where they have lost the children, and been hit with so many legal bills from the government that they are basically paying them off til they die. Its far too complicated and such a rats nest its hard to explain simply here.
So nowadays there is no access or custody. Both parents have a right to see the children. Its the law. I didn't know this. Even if you are in prison you have the right to see your children (and the duty of the other parent to make this possible). If its dangerous you have to prove it, and then they are still given the right to see them even if its with supervision (very rare to have supervision from officials.... they can nominate relatives or their friends as supervisors )
Thing is Family Law is a Federal matter and abuse is a State matter and its rarely a State or police matter can be used in a Federal Court. Alot of relience is put on a report from a court appointed Family Psychologist, which is what happened to us... though as Jan said... if you get a nutter there isn't much you can do. (I get bile rising in my gullet everytime I think about that report and the crap that is written in it... sickening!) The only avenue I would have had would have been to contest the report (not a good thing when the judge appointed this one himself) and at immense expense... AND to do that would have meant asking the court for another hearing to submit that evidence (which never goes down well... dragging a case out and is seen as being "hostile")
As I had stopped Hayden visiting the ex and he "HAD" to take me to court I was judged to be a "hostile parent" from day one. Reconciliation and mediation is seen as a first step and I was hoodwinked (this guy is good at manipulation remember...) I never even KNEW "that" conversation was his attempt at arranging mediation but it went down officially as him trying his hardest (Damn these emoticons don't have ENOUGH emotion!) I had strips ripped off me in court the first time by the judge for being there and dragging the poor father to court.
An article in a recent paper here recently said the family court has less room to answer (you can't.. you can only answer the judge's questions) and was more intimidating than a murder trial. I can vouch for that (not that I have been in a murder trial..... give me time....)
The whole process is condusive to destroying the woman (and in some cases I have seen men) to depression (tick) fear (tick) and in some cases suicide (oh that one hovered so often.... the only thing that stopped me was the thought that she would be left alone with him...and the other two girls would try to protect her and he would go after them).
Sooooooooo if you are diagnosed with depression.... guess what? You can be ruled as unfit to be a parent! Good hey! And when the children fall apart from the stress they are being put under, it can be ruled as your fault because they are living with you until this is over (if they aren't taken away from the "unfit parent" before then).
And one of the big rules was: The children are NOT ever to be aware that a court case is going on! Ever! And if they find out its your fault, and they can be taken away...... Now... my kids aren't stupid. What? Being dragged from pillar to post being interviewed, interrogated but hey .. nothing is going on..... Oh and having the court papers SERVED to a 15 year old and not even in an envelope????? Only way I could prove that was to take the server to court in a separate case.
After the first court date I was ordered to send Hayden back on weekends... and not fortnightly.... as "You will be punished from keeping this child from her father!" so every weekend. He tried to make it every weekend up to now but the ex (through his lawyer) explained that "he could NEVER do that to me.... it was too cruel" and I got yet another lecture about how wonderful the ex was to show such compassion. Truth be told the ex's wife would have hit the roof at being stuck with H every weekend.... and so would the ex... no time for his man friends to visit with a kid there. (The weekends his wife works he sends her kids off to her friends). AND I had to arrange councellors to see Hayden to make her happy and excited to visit the ex.
Debt: The court will want me to pay at least half of all court costs... they may even make me pay all of them. Though I think that would have been put forward at the settlement time.. I don't know. The judge always had me listed as a "hostile parent" and it could still happen (hostile meaning it was my fault the ex HAD to hire a lawyer to do all this). The judge thought that I was being flippant and not regarding the childs best needs in the case by not having a legal team, (I had no money to hire one and no judgement on legal aid) so ordered a Childrens Lawyer to represent on her behalf. He didn't really get involved but I will still have to pay all his costs and court costs. I will be forced to pay all or half of the costs for the court appointed Family Psychologist (and that was an all day event). I could be also forced to pay the ex's court costs and all his legal fees if he decides to ask for them. I DID mention to him when I was getting him to sign the Parenting Agreement that he would be perfectly within his rights to do that but that doing so would entail alot more legal costs to his legal team and it may not even be ruled in his favour. (Cant say too much about that one here )
Q is right. Its all about the torment. Actually its a game. Morgan the teen said he has spreadsheets. He lives to play games on his Xbox, his Playstation, his computer. This is his game. Some of the things he set up, Morgan said she had seen set up in his lists up to 18 months ago.... well two years now. "If I do this, she will do this, or this, and then I will do this...." She didn't really believe it when she saw it. I think she didn't want to tell me either as he used her for some of the set-ups. He used to sit for hours writing out "texts" he was lining up to send me and show them to her or read them out to her and ask "Do you reckon thats a good one? That will get up her nose? And it won't get me into trouble" then figure out what would be the reaction. Another thing the psychologist said was pure fantasy. The day Hayden got tangled in a rope playground climbing web was pure gold. He took about 30 photos of the welts on her legs and had me charged with abuse... and it happened while she was with him! Yes she told the authorities it was from the playground but having police and child protection going through my home, interviewing the kids, was a nightmare... and its flagged. It never goes away.
So the laws will be changed at the end of this year. God knows what they will come up with this time.
In the meantime.... "The child will reside with the mother" Its not over by a long shot. He will continue; this is like defeating the boss of a round in the game; there are many levels to play yet for him .... but he had better not put ONE damn foot wrong on his side.
Light the torches!!!!!! Bawahaaaaaaa!

More MobileMe going free rumors
With the WWDC 2010 keynote mere days away, more rumors continue that Apple's push and sync solution, MobileMe, might just be going free. They're thin, admittedly, but BGR points us to a change in how account type is shown -- now "full member" is highlighted.
As opposed to free member?
We might just find out Monday, including what the differences are between "free" and "full" (or no change at all). We know you want it -- because we want it too - so go head, conjecture in the comments!

More MobileMe going free rumors
Is there a free option now?
I think maybe Find My iPhone and Back To My Mac may be "Full" features. Everything else should be free.
I won't pay for it regardless.
Damn. I just had to renew my MobileMe account.
FULL has always been there and its for Family package .
Even if they dont wanna do it free, just do a $100 ONE TIME charge, not annualy. I would gladly pay $100 for lifetime FULL membership, but not every pucking year!
@Arnie, they won't want another iPhone 1G issue on their hands (when they cut the price). If they make it free and you just paid they'll either credit your card or give you a $100 gift certificate to the iTunes store.
The service is poor at best. I have it on the family plan and we've lost data in the Calander many times. The iDisk feature is slower than molasses on my Mac. So slow it's nearly useless. The only thing we've used successfully is email and the find my iPhone feature. When we tried to get support on the lost Calander issues it was virtually non-existant. Free seems to be the only option that my keep me in the loop.
I have been with them since it went @me.com, from @mac.com and the whole re-branding to MobileMe. I use it everyday, and would gladly pay to keep my subscription up. Find my iphone has come in handy about 10 times, all stupid things, but the idisk and mail and iphone/ical sync is worth every penny.
I like that my contacts are safe in the cloud, and can be zapped to my new iPhone in seconds. Bookmark and calendar syncing across devices is great and push email is fantastic. Find my iPhone is great too. However it is too expensive and iDisk is a piece of ****. It should be free to all iPhone OS device purchasers, or maybe like only $10 per year charge. €80 a year is ridiculous.
i love mobileme and an update is much needed. i just recently renewed my 1-year subscription for $99.99 and i'm wondering IF it were to go completely free i should get some type of a refund. right?
Rip in peace for mobile me, but u can't fight with free services. Don't get me wrong, the mobile me offers u the easiest interface for apple product syncing but 99 a year it's not the only option out there. Besides google servies r awesome, even more once I discovered igoogle I have my contacs calendars emails synket at even my homepage macs andiphone. Only missing find my iPhone, and bookmark synking
@daJe Ya the sprint store near me was crazy too. The 20 people in line where so thrilled. The line died down after about a hour or so I went back to the store and went in to see what the fuss is all about. Nice phone nice screen but to big for a PHONE. And i'm not a big fan of the os. Anyway back on topic I had moblie me for 1 year and the services where useful to me like twice. It's not really worth the $100.
I've seen a lot of people complain about iDisk being slow but I've never had a problem with it. It's always fast and I'm loading heavy files to it. $100 a year is worth it for all the features I get but $0 sounds a whole lot BETTER. Hopefully we see soon.
I would be all over a free ad sponsored version. Doubt that'll happen though.
I was lucky enough to purchase my MobileMe account for only $69 last year from an Apple Store near Orlando. I was on vacation at the time and the Apple employee was nice enough to give me the $30 discount. Just getting that discount was enough for me to purchase it. I am going to wait and see if it does become free. My account expires in 8 days and have turned off the auto renew. Also I uploaded everything from iDisk to my company's box.net cloud for the time being. This summer should really shape up for a huge tech war of Apple vs Android. I wonder how Blackberry is viewing this from te sidelines.
$99/year is to damn much for those features...that aren't that special nowadays, nor is the page's design that superb to deserve that ammount of money! At least for me, MobileME is getting to the point it looks like iWork.com... not usable at all, minus for that Find my iPhone feature, that never use (ok I know some people tend to lose their iphones on a regular basis).
For Calendar I can use google calendar and sync with iCal
For email...gmail of course
well to sync contacts...i can give that one to Apple...but hardly $99 for that feature..
Sorry Apple blokes...if you make the service free...or at least one free with some limitations...your faithful Mac fanboys will love you even more and will buy an iPad, a Macbook to match their iPhones and iMacs and sync everything as well as brag and show off! Try that mates!
I am anxiously awaiting the release of free membership to MobileMe, any sort of free option will definitely be welcomed and worth it. When it comes to Apple products and services South Africa is the second most expensive.
Please!! This should of been free since day one!!
Wonderful beat ! I wish to apprentice even as you amend your web site, how can i subscribe for a blog web site? The account aided me a applicable deal. I had been tiny bit acquainted of this your broadcast offered vibrant transparent idea

Bryce Mulvey: "A CNC machine only cuts the ports. It takes someone that knows what they're doing to create that port in the first place. Just because a head is CNC machined doesn't mean it performs as well as any other CNC head. It takes us three to four months just to design a port, and we might ruin five to six heads in the process. We then digitize the ports, cut the heads, and figure out which parts of the head are off the mark and correct the program accordingly. The tooling used to cut the head also impacts consistency. It takes a tremendous effort, but once the process is complete, you can replicate the port you spent hundreds of hours creating very precisely. Our goal is to get our CNC heads flowing within five cfm of our prototype ports, which is very hard to do. No one's going to be able to pay $6,000 for a set of heads, and the CNC machine allows you to pack $6,000 worth of performance for a fraction of the cost."
Airflow Needs
Darin Morgan: "To properly select the correct heads for any given application, you need to determine your engine's intended use (drag, endurance, etc), volumetric efficiency, rpm range needed for your target hp, valve area needed to achieve sufficient airflow for your target hp, piston and cylinder head peak cfm demands, target air speeds throughout the induction system, volume of the overall induction system, resonant tuning characteristics, and carburetor airflow requirements. Once you answer all these questions, then you can pick out the perfect cylinder head and induction system. It's complex and no simple three or four variable equation is going to give you a sufficient answer. It takes experience and a lot of mathematical evaluation of the entire system to come up with the answer. Port design is not as simple as most people would like to think. This is why you see that most of the top port designers have 25-plus years of experience under their belts. So how is a new up-and-coming engine builder or hot rod enthusiast supposed to make a well-informed decision? With education, a person can now learn the underlying variables and characteristics that govern the induction system. With today's porting schools and long-term tech schools, a novice can learn to design basic ports in one tenth the time it took my generation. One short-term crash course is my two-day Advanced Induction System Design School. The school consists of a decade of information crammed into 20 hours. Anyone who has been through it can tell you that it will leave your head spinning with enough information to keep you thinking for the next year. There are also software programs such as Engine Analyzer Pro and PipeMax that can show people their engine's all-important airflow demand versus their cylinder heads' expected airflow. With Engine Analyzer and PipeMax, I can run calculations to properly size certain areas in the port in as little as 30 minutes. Before this type of software came out, it would have taken a day to do all the calculations."

A 44-year- old resident of the Gorzohn Community in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County is appealing to all health related organizations, humanitarian institutions, the Bassa Legislative Caucus, the Liberian Government, the United Nations and all multinational organizations as well as philanthropic groups to help him seek medical attention as early as possible.
Peter Dehdyugar suffers from a mysterious growth beneath his left ear that is spread to his neck, a situation that is increasingly becoming unbearable for him.
"I am dying slowly, because I don't have money. This disease may likely carry me to my early grave, if no one helps me at all", Dehdyugar lamented to TheFactsNews. According to the victim, who cried that he barely eats, needs not less than US$650.00 to remove the growth.
He narrated that after the growth enlarged, he was referred to the Du-Side Hospital in Firestone, Margibi County where he met one Dr. Sherman who told him that he could do the work for US$650.00, an amount he said he could not afford considering his poor financial back ground and returned to Buchanan without being operated on.
He recalled that his appalling situation started since 2004 when he developed a loop in his left jaw, and he visited all the health centers in Buchanan including the Liberian Government Hospital, none could actually help to remedy his situation but referred him to the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Hospital for surgical operation.
He stated that he followed the advice of the medical personnel and was operated by a Rwandan medical doctor he only identified as Alex. He got discharged two weeks later after the operation. "[Then] in February of 2012, it rematerialized with a little knot behind my left ear, and again, I started to visit the Liberian Government Hospital for medical checkups, but I was always told to go and come back the next day until the growth developed to this size", Dehdyugar further explained.
News of a pro-bono Nigerian medical team in the country excited Dehdyugar but his joy was soon short cut when the team left in a disappointing manner for him.
He explained: "Recently, I was happy when I heard that a medical team from Nigeria was in the country, mainly Grand Bassa County, to render free medical services including surgeries such as removing growth, fiber, and hernia among others. I was the first to register, hoping that the medical team was going to restore my health because they told other people who have similar problem and me that they were going to send for the equipment they supposed to use to perform our operations."
But he and others who were scheduled to undergo free surgeries were shocked with the news that the equipment was no longer available: "We walked to the hospital day after day, and the team told us finally that indeed the machine was at the hospital and scheduled us when to operate us. But surprisingly, when we got there for the operation, we saw the team wrapping up to leave; when asked, we were told that the equipment which we were told about wasn't available."
That has even worsened his condition.
"I hardly eat and sleep at night, and I don't even walk around anymore. I am only waiting for God's intervention", he lamented.

Don Henley Speaks On New Eagles Album: 'It's Not Like We Don't See Each Other'
Don Henley and Glenn Frey of the Eagles, who sat down for an interview with the New York Times ahead of their upcoming History of the Eagles documentary, hinted that the band may soon be releasing new material.
When asked directly, Henley didn't take the question head on: "It's not like we don't see each other," he dodged.
Frey fleshed out a more elaborate response:
"The Eagles are a working band," he said. "Some years we play a lot of shows, some years we play a dozen shows. We do one year at a time, we think that's a good way to do it. The band's going to start thinking about coming back together, and talk about whether everybody wants to uproot themselves from their lives and try to make a record, with all that involves."
History of the Eagles: the Story of an American Band aired on Showtime over the weekend.

To Succeed in Photography, Today's Students Must Chart Their Own Course
Posted By Emily Chow On February 7, 2011 @ 12:44 am In Teaching Photography and Design | 9 Comments
As a photojournalism student, I've gotten lots of advice from professional photographers. As well-intended as this counsel may be, it usually comes down to a simple admonition: Stay out of the business.
Newspapers are using wire photos instead of staff photographers. The market for stock photos has been crushed by microstock. Photo-rich print publications — from magazines to corporate annual reports — are going the way of the dinosaur. And of course, everybody feels free to steal your photos on the Web today.
OK, I get it. It's a tough world out there.
But one thing I've noticed about all these photographers giving me advice is this: They are still taking photos.
Ultimately, we do what we do because we love it. We follow our passion despite the obstacles. We'll do what we need to do to make it.
And what we need to do today is adapt to the changes around us.
Adapting to Change
Those who rise above the rest in photography today are those with smart and creative business practices. They're resourceful, savvy and step outside the box — not just when taking pictures, but when making marketing and financial decisions, too.
My school doesn't offer much in the way of practical business courses. We have the Business Institutions Program certificate and another one for Integrated Marketing and Communications, but the options are few and far between.
Still, I have friends who are already showing the entrepreneurial spirit they will need to make it as photographers.
One of my friends spent the last year taking photographs for Shop Evanston [2]. Another takes headshots of theater and film students. A third not only photographs for the student fashion magazine, but also has established a presence in the Greek system, covering sorority socials and events.
As my friend John put it, simply: "You have to pave your own way in this business."
Now more than ever before, perhaps.
Charting Their Own Course
My friend Justin has masterfully built his network through word of mouth. He was known as "The Camera Guy" within a week of showing up on campus. He was just taking pictures, and people asked him where they could find them online.
Before long, he was getting assignments from fellow students. At first, he bartered his services to attend events for free, to have a client build his website, and so forth. Now he is beginning to charge money for his services.
John has built a clientele by participating in online communities and through conventional marketing techniques. I see his fliers around campus, advertising headshots and directing people to his website.
Yet another friend got a jumpstart from a professor, who encouraged him to begin freelancing, which led him to his job with Shop Evanston.
Me? I look for opportunities when they present themselves. Volunteering to take photographs at large sports events and concerts, accepting an opportunity to intern at the alumni magazine, and taking on the job of photographing clothes for a friend's friend who wanted to start her own clothing website.
All of this comes down to taking business initiative as a photographer.
I don't claim to have all the answers about what it takes to succeed today. I am still learning. But I know that I don't plan to give up before I even start.

Excellent article!
I, too am in school for photography and hear the same thing from working pros. These are the same people who refuse to adapt to other aspects of this changing industry and post articles like "don't work for free".
Very well written!
#2 Comment By ian campbell On February 7, 2011 @ 3:11 pm
Sorry guys, but you can't work for free, not in the long run, anyway. The reality is you have to think of yourself as your first client, and whatever you do after that is the secondary client.
The bank will want to see steady income for a house or business purchase, the tax man wants your local, state, federal, unemployment, self-employment, social security and various other taxes paid, so if you earn $20,000, you'll be lucky to keep $8,000 from it. You need to bring money in All The Time in order to break even, and the odds are you'll be unlikely to manage that.
So, you end up doing something else on the side: it helps with the avoidance of genteel poverty.You diversify as much as you can, so that the loss of any one particular client isn't the end of the business. Weddings help, but a lot of people aren't marrying locally any more -- they've decided on a cheap trip to the Caribbean or some other hot spot with the nearest and dearest in the family. You can't overcharge, not in the majority of the small to medium sized markets in this part of the Northeast, anyway, because there's a lot of competition out there of people who are a lot more desperate for a job, any job, than you are.
It's not about refusing to adapt to the changes in the industry -- it's about working incredibly hard to keep up with them, and survive the changes while all the others around you don't...
And that's it.

Besides at some point needing to charge enough to pay the bills and run your business there are really two things other than pricing affecting your ability to do this for a living.
First of all you have to be able to make photos and second you have to service your client.
I contend that the public knows the difference between bad and good photography and not as many know the difference between good and excellent photography.
I also contend that the public knows the difference between bad and good service, but they are very much aware of the difference between good and great service.
I think if photographers spent as much time on their service as they do on their portfolios they would be so busy they would be turning down jobs.
Read all the books you can get your hands on about customer service. Know how to listen to your client and exceed their expectations--not just in your photos but how you talk to them, how you package your photos, your invoicing and anything that they will experience when they encounter you.
The whiners are those who have no knowledge about customer service.
#4 Comment By Mark Holmes On February 8, 2011 @ 12:30 pm
I've been in business since 1988. I am glad I did a business degree and afterwards found my way into photography as it has helped me a lot. Some of the things I have found are:
1. If I do something for free it has no value to the client. If you focus on the quality and value of what you do, rather than a going rate or the need to break in, there is no reason you shouldn't charge for your services.
2. I make sure I give great service. The client buys the photographer not the photographs. They want someone who is responsive to their needs and easy to work with, not a prima donna who can't take direction.
3. Re-invention and innovation is highly important. The job you will be doing in 10 years time probably doesn't even exist today. For example, for one client, I not only take product photos, I also edit them into instructional animations that run on their products. Instead of just handing over pictures, I have vertically integrated the deliverable.
4. I am not a believer in luck. I think you make your own luck. A writer told me I was lucky to have been picked up unsolicited by an agent and given a book deal for a top publisher. If I hadn't put in many hours of writing and creating a professional website it would never have happened.
4. Don't burn anybody. It's a lot smaller world than you think. When you are successful, pay it forward.
#5 Comment By Don Farrall On February 11, 2011 @ 12:50 am
I've been in business as a photographer since 1984. I am a commercial photographer doing advertising work. Now in my 50's I do find it a difficult time to counsel young photographers who are inquiring about our business. I have never wanted to discourage anyone who is pursuing the carrier of their choice of occupation. I do get pretty irritated at the schools who gladly take in as many students as they can attract, with little consideration as to weather there are opportunities for them after they graduate. Sure, it can be argued that you have to "make your opportunities", but some of these schools are indicating to students that once they graduate they can go out and get a job as a photographer somewhere. Really, who hires photographers as employees? Not to many places. Being a photographer and serving clients is an entrepreneurial activity. Most of us work for ourselves. This is actually a great part of the business, but most college graduates aren't ready for a jump from student to business owner. Still it can be done. It has always been hard getting started in photography, for many reasons. When the we "old-timers" suggest that it is going to be difficult it isn't because we are afraid of the competition from newbies. New photographers starting out generally end up shooting the "low hanging fruit" work, and trust me, established pros don't want that work.
The previous poster commented about service. This is very true. And all of the reasons posted at the beginning of the article regarding the state of the photo business are true, and there are even a few more.
So what is it going to take? Passion and the pursuit of perfection. Not much room for "good enough". I wish you an honest "Good Luck".
#6 Comment By Jeff M On February 12, 2011 @ 2:18 pm
I applaud your enthusiasm and energy. I am looking back on a 20 year career as a professional commercial photographer. I LOVED BEING A PHOTOGRAPHER. I hated being broke and in debt most of the time and I was a talented, busy savvy shooter with far less competition and price gouging than there is now. Look to the reasons for why you want to become a photog. I'll bet very few of them revolve around securing new business, paying bills, buying new gear every 3 years, etc. I do photography now as a sideline for myself to create beautiful images. I am MUCH happier. It's why I first got into photography. I work a real job to pay the bills and keep my household running. I have no regrets of leaving commercial photography. It is a much better balanced situation for all of us right now.
Live to create. Take the pressure off yourself and those around you. You'll be happier.
#7 Comment By Don Farrall On February 13, 2011 @ 11:29 pm
Emily, I have to protest that the previous post by Jeff M. There are plenty of photographers who "love what they do" and that have not, or are not " broke and in debt most of the time". Jeff's decision to exit photography as a carrier appears to be based on the failure of his business to meet his expectations. Running a business is not for everyone. It's an unfortunate truth that not all businesses succeed. This alone does not make the occupation an impossibility for one and all. I have many friends that are successful photographers, world wide. This profession certainly has it's successful players, and someone will be the players of tomorrow. I will concede that the road is difficult, but it is not impossible, or a pointless pursuit, as some will suggest.

#8 Comment By Zabrina On February 26, 2011 @ 7:21 pm
Hi Emily, I want to share a little bit about my story of my journey with you. I recently quit my ok paying 9-5 job in high tech and going full time on photography. it's my passion and I do take it seriously and I do intend to make a living off from that. The road of excellence gets really lonely and you are gonna get people (whether you know them or not) to disagree with you, tell you not to do such thing, or do something else. My father, he disapproved me going photography full time!! But, I still did it because I know I can prove to him that this is the right journey to me and that's the best for myself. I am 30 years old, been doing the corporate world for 8 years, somewhat successful in my corporate job..but tell you the truth, i hate every minutes of it. On the other hand, I love photography, that's what really makes me happy. it's so true I don't even know if I can pay bills next month and I am still trying to get people to book me for weddings and portrait sessions to pay next month's bills, but that's ok because at the end of the day, I am doing something I totally love and I am willing to risk my income for the experience. Whether I am gonna be successful or not, I honestly don't know, but I am gonna try do the best at what I can provide at this level and provide for what we charged.
Anyway, I would love to connect with you on facebook and your article really speaks for me. Don't STOP believing!!
#9 Comment By viscara On February 27, 2011 @ 8:13 am
Emily great article but I have to say being a student of photography couldnt you have a better photo of yourself in the column? as well as a better expression as the one above looks like the deer stuck in the headlights or you just heard your mom read your dairy... "Not picking your looks as you look fine" but the photo does not fit the bill of a image of a photographer or journalist. You deserve to have a better image..

BGE ratesPaul, Baltimore: Do you think the increase in fuel cost has anything to do with the requested rate hike? The cost of gasoline went from a national average of $0.94 [a gallon] in 1999 to $2.55 currently. Could that be the reason for the rate increase?
Nitkin: This is according to Paul Adams, our lead reporter on [Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.] issues:
The company makes the vast majority of its profit from the fee it charges to deliver electricity over its power lines and to your house. That rate is the same as it has been since 1993 and is not going up after July 1, when the rate caps come off.
Dave, Bel Air: David, I enjoy reading your column. [I] don't agree with your politics (now come on, you are a Democrat) but respect your views and opinions. Try to give the governor a break on the BGE crisis. The Democrats created the problem, not the governor and [the Public Service Commission] chairman. Seems like legislature members are causing the problems with resolving the interest with BGE and Constellation.
Nitkin: No one is accusing Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. or Public Service Commission Chairman Kenneth D. Schisler of creating the problem of rate hikes. And you are certainly correct that the deregulation legislation that led to the current situation was passed by a legislature controlled by Democrats and signed by Democratic Gov. Parris N. Glendening. But critics of the current governor's response say not enough has been done for consumers to mitigate the price increase.
BGE and Constellation are well-represented in Annapolis with many high-paid lobbyists. And the governor's comments that he wants the PSC and other agencies to take a more business-friendly approach to operations has, rightly or wrongly, raised the suspicion of some consumer advocates.
Mya, Turner's Station: I feel as though this 72 percent BGE hike is just wrong. Isn't the minimum wage in Maryland too low for the cost of living? I'm sure a lot of people who are considered middle class will be struggling to pay their bills after this hike.
Nitkin: Maryland's minimum wage is now $6.15 an hour. One group, Progressive Maryland, calculates that a "living wage" -- which would be the hourly wage needed to provide food, housing, utilities and other necessities for a family -- would be slightly more than $11 an hour.
Part of the reason that many politicians are scrambling to find a solution to the 72 percent BGE rate hike is that they know that many of their constituents will have a hard time paying the bills.
Larry Smith, Baltimore: If the legislature can appoint members to the PSC, where is the separation of powers?
Nitkin: The Public Service Commission is currently an independent agency within the executive branch of government.
The General Assembly has drafted a plan that would fire the five current members of the commission and replace them with two members appointed by the Senate, two by the House of Delegates and one appointed by the governor -- certainly a shift from executive control to legislative control. Some might call it a power grab.
The issues of separation of powers is getting a lot of attention in Annapolis. This is what Tom Dennison of the Gazette reported last week:
"Joseph M. Getty, a policy adviser to Ehrlich, gave The Gazette a packet of information on Wednesday showing how Democrats have eroded long-standing powers of the state's chief executive during the past four legislative sessions.
"Getty developed a spreadsheet titled 'Legislation That Limits Gubernatorial Power' that listed more than 30 bills.
"'The General Assembly has approached this term as a four-year process of hostility to the executive,' said Getty, a former delegate from Carroll County. 'The General Assembly has been absolutely unable to make the transition to shared power with the Republican executive.'"
[A retired BGE employee], Baltimore: BGE knew the rate caps were coming off and they would have to buy on the open market long before this year. Why didn't they, in good consciousness, approach the PSC and advise them of the impending projected costs? BGE has made a profit every year since deregulation in 1999.

Coming this August, another Julia Roberts movie. Critics will fawn over it, calling it bunk like "the feel-good romantic comedy of the summer." What none of the emasculated male movie critics have the family Julias to say is what it really is going to be: "the best Julia Roberts movie starring Julia Roberts playing Julia Roberts since the last Julia Roberts movie starring Julia Roberts playing Julia Roberts."
The movie should be called "Julia & Julia." Instead it's called "Eat Pray Love" —- which, coincidentally, are the exact same words Gov. Ahh-nold says to wife Maria Shriver when he comes home from work everyday.
Hollywood, which is quickly turning into Hollylimp, could use a few ideas for movies that might be different, for a change. Like:
1. "Bristol Getting Married": The Baked Alaskan's daughter tries to convince Mamma Grizzly that being married is the surest way to make abstinence stick.
2. "Boy Toy Story": Tween heart-throb Justin Bieber plays a concert in "Cougar Town" and discovers that his his audience is not dominated by tweens, but rather predatoryafraid of getting older housewives over the age of 40. Justin could even sing updated versions of "Mrs. Robinson" and "Maggie May." (When you think about it, this plot isn't so far-fetched and might actually turn out to be a made-for-TV movie just in time for the ratings sweeps.)
3. "The Book of Levi": The search for the priceless only-known coloring book that the (maybe) future son-in-law of the pistol packing Palins created depicting the everyday lives of the Ken and Barbie of Wasilla, Alaska.
4. "Their the Sorcerer's Apprentices": The only explanation why Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell get to keep making movies.
5. "The A-Hole Team": A documentary about Fox News anchors, correspondents and news show hosts.
Everybody loves a Bush
A recent poll found that Bill Clinton is the most popular and respected president or ex-president around.
Bubba weighs in with a 61 percent approval rating, followed by President Obama with 52 percent and former President George W. Bush with 45 percent.
Speaking of Bush, W.'syounger bro' Jeb, the former governor of Florida, wants to run for president in 2012.
Maybe Jeb's theme song could be Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough."
As for possible campaign slogans when he runs in the primaries against Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich, Jeb might want to consider:
1. "Mitt's a Mormon, Palin's a moron."
2. "Vote for Jeb or else everything old will be Newt again."
3. "You already had the political world's equivalent of Fredo —- it's time to give the smart one a try."
4. "If it's the only way I can win, I'll change my name to Brush."
5. "I can guarantee victory if it comes down to Florida."
6. "I'll never say mission accomplished."
7. "I can speak in complete sentences."
8. "I once told Rush Limbaugh he was wrong — and have the scars to prove it."
9. "I'll have Liz Cheney as a running mate so we can same campaign money by using the leftover bumper stickers and signs from the 2004 election."
10. "I promise to have Glenn Beck committed."

News From 91.3 KUWS
Wisconsin Senate mining meeting proposes many changes
A State Senate committee run by Democrats has unveiled a plan that would establish a two-year timeline for mining permits without weakening Wisconsin's environmental laws. Shawn Johnson reports.
There's a chance Republicans will ignore the idea when they return to power in January.
The panel chaired by Janesville Democratic State Senator Tim Cullen began meeting well before the November election but they're finishing their work as Republicans prepare to return to power. Still, Cullen contends the quality of this proposal will speak for itself.
"I believe that by the time January and February comes around, it's going to be very difficult for the Wisconsin legislature to ignore the information and facts that this committee learned and the translation of those facts and information into this bill."
Cullen's proposal is different than a failed Assembly Republican mining bill from last session in a few big ways. That bill called for a one-year permitting process. Cullen's bill would stretch that to two years, allow the DNR to call for a six-month "pause" in the process and include an extra year for a "pre-application" process. The GOP bill rewrote dozens of environmental protections for mining sites. Cullen's leaves them intact. The Republican bill also got rid of contested case hearings where opponents can challenge mining permits before a judge. Cullen's bill preserves the hearings but limits them to 180 days.
It also calls for the state to collaborate with federal agencies and tribes, a provision backed by Richland Center Republican Senator Dale Schultz.
"It doesn't mean you just fly in, say how are you, we're going to mine, we're opening an office and leave, it means actually sitting down and talking through issues that are important to the tribe."
But whether there are any Republicans who share Schultz's view of things remains to be seen. New Berlin GOP Senator Mary Lazich says she thinks Republicans got it right last session. "I supported that bill and I am still a fan of that bill, so when one is critical of that, I take a bit of an offense."
Lazich's comments echo those of several top Republicans including Governor Walker.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – The Holy Cross softball team came up short in a doubleheader versus Tennessee Tech today at Tech Softball Field. The Crusaders and Golden Eagles battled it out in game one as Tennessee Tech came away with an 8-7 victory. In game two, Tennessee Tech defeated Holy Cross by a score of 8-0 in six innings. The Crusaders fall to 1-3 on the season while the Golden Eagles improve to 7-11 on the year.
Game One
Holy Cross scored the first run of the game in the top of the first. Sophomore Colleen Ahern (Northbrook, Ill.) singled past the third basemen and posted her first RBI of the year. Sophomore Sarah Kane (Jacksonville, Fla.) got the inning started as she was walked and stole second before crossing the plate.
Tennessee Tech got back into the game to take a 3-1 lead in the third as Alyssa Richards hit a homerun off of senior Julia Barrett (Gardner, Mass.) to left field. Through three innings of play, the Golden Eagles claimed a total of six hits to the Crusaders' three.
Senior Sarah Free (Claremont, Calif.) got the Crusaders within one run in the top of the fourth as she hit her second homerun of the season in back-to-back games. The Golden Eagles scored a run of their own in the fourth as Samantha Cook homered down the left field line.
The Holy Cross offense came storming back in the fifth inning as the team put together a total of five runs off of five hits and two errors. Freshman Emily Krisanda (Oak Hill, Va.) started the inning off by reaching base on an error by the second baseman. Senior Alex Gustafson (Medford, Mass.) singled as Krisanda crossed the plate. Free singled up the middle and junior Abigail Lang (Londonderry, N.H.) doubled down the right field line. Two runs came across off of the bat of sophomore Becky Geddes (Cumberland, R.I.). Freshman Kylee Malouf (Simi Valley, Calif.) posted a single and Hailey Mullen (Plainville, Mass.) scored on an error as Tennessee Tech's pitcher was knocked out of the game in the inning.
Tennessee Tech posted three runs of their own in the fifth inning off of three hits while leaving two runners on base. At the end of five innings it was all tied up at 7-7.
Richards single for the Golden Eagles in the sixth to put them up 8-7. Holy Cross had three players come to the plate in the top of the seventh but they were not able to produce a run as Tennessee Tech earned their sixth win of the season.
Barret pitched four innings and struck out three batters. Junior Tori Cheske (Thomaston, Conn.) came in relief and pitched an inning and two thirds. Cheske suffered the loss (0-1). The starting pitcher for the Golden Eagles, Hannah Weaver, pitched four innings as she totaled six strikeouts. Erica Tuck earned the win (1-1) for Tennessee Tech as she threw just over two innings.
Game Two
The Golden Eagles jumped out a 1-0 lead in the fourth as Oliva Bennett posted a double to left center field. In the fifth, Madison Taylor hit a two run homerun to put Tennessee Tech up 3-0 . Through five innings Holy Cross and Tennessee Tech both had two hits each.
The Holy Cross offense did what it could to come alive but it was not enough. In the sixth inning, the Golden Eagles put together five more insurance runs to claim an 8-0 win in six innings of play.
Krisanda, Ahern and junior Emma Keough (Rochester, Mass.) posted the only hits in the game for Holy Cross.
Sophomore Gennifer Durham (Abbeville, S.C.) suffered the loss in the circle (1-1) as she pitched sixth innings, gave up five hits and recorded five strikeouts. Freshman Maggie Goldberg (Midlothian, Va.) came on in the relief in the sixth as she faced four batters. Taylor Ketchum earned the win for Tennessee Tech as her record now stands at 1-2.
Holy Cross (1-3) is back on the diamond this weekend, Friday and Saturday, March 7-8 as the team travels to Knoxville to take part in the Tennessee Tournament.

Hydralic valve lifter replacement on Cont. 0-300 engine
Hydralic valve lifter replacement on Cont. 0-300 engine
I have a Cessna 172F with an Continental 0-300 that has a bad lifter. They have a mushroom head on them where they rub the camshaft so they will not pull out of the case like some Lycomings or even a small block chevy. Is there anyway to remove and reinstall a new lifter without pulling the engine and splitting the crankcase?? I could cut the old lifter and get it out of there if someone made a new lifter without the mushroom head that would just slide in from the outside of the case. This engine has just 800 hrs on it and I hate to tear it down over just a bad lifter. Any ideas out there? Thanks, Joe
Re: Hydralic valve lifter replacement on Cont. 0-300 engine
If you are trying to get the "cam followers" out, the only way that this will be possible is by splitting the case. The hydraulic lifter, is a two piece unit consisting of the cam follower and the lifter unit. The lifter can be removed by using a hooked piece of safety wire and sliding it out of the cam follower. Do not use a magnet... The cylinder and the pushrod housing will have to be removed to access the lifter, hope this helps...
Re: Hydralic valve lifter replacement on Cont. 0-300 engine
Thanks for the reply. I called my A&P and the problem is with the cam follower. About 3/8" of the outside sleeve has cracked off at the end away from the cam. Everything moves freely, the engine runs fine. We were installing new gaskets at an annual when we found the cracked pieces in the lifter cover. The pieces look like they have been in there forever. The cam follower still has about a inch and a half of sleeve left in the block. On any other engine I own I would just run it as it is. But my A&P says that's no good on a plane. I have a son in an A&P program and he is asking his instructors about it too. What would you do if it was yours? Run it or tear it down? Thanks for your help. Joe
Re: Hydralic valve lifter replacement on Cont. 0-300 engine
My vote would be to tear it down, most of your expense will be in labor, as the rest of the engine is fairly new, and as long as nothing else is found, it should be able to be put back together. Additionaly I'm not sure if your A&P will sign it off with a known problem like this, as I think there would be some liability should something happen.
COO Technical Support
Re: Hydralic valve lifter replacement on Cont. 0-300 engine
The problem will not get any better and you risk contaminating the engine with metal, once it gets mixed in with the bearings it will probably "lunch" the engine. When I was in A&P school, many moons ago, it was always stressed that you can't park it on a cloud and fix it. The longer you run the engine in this condition, the worse it will get not to mention it will get very expensive.

Intel unveils silicon laser

(continued from previous page)
with the laser, said Victor Krutul, senior manager of silicon photonics strategy at Intel. Two-thirds of the cost of finished optical equipment goes into testing and assembling it, he said.
Mass-produced silicon can ameliorate many of these problems. Silicon allows for passive alignment: A groove can be cut into a chip containing a silicon laser. The fiber can then be slotted in quickly, cheaply and accurately.
A Raman laser, in some ways, is ideally suited for silicon. The Raman Effect, discovered in 1928 by Nobel laureate Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman, roughly works as follows: Light hits a substance, causing the atoms in the substance to vibrate. The collision causes some of the photons to gain or lose energy, resulting in a secondary light of a different wavelength. A Raman laser essentially involves taking this secondary light and then amplifying it (by reflecting it and pumping energy into the system) to emit a functional beam.
Because of its crystalline structure, silicon atoms readily vibrate when hit with light. The Raman Effect, in fact, is 10,000 times stronger in silicon than standard glass, which should make it far easier to amplify.
Unfortunately, it falls flat in the second half. When silicon atoms get struck by two photons at once, the struck atom will disgorge an electron. The loose electrons then form a cloud inside the material that absorbs the resulting light.
To get around this problem, the chip creates an electric field around the silicon chamber. This sweeps away the cloud, which permits the light to be captured, amplified and emitted.
Technically, silicon in the experimental laser does not generate the light beam--a separate beam does--but it serves as a medium for creating and amplifying the secondary light. Silicon is not a good light generator. "This is a different way of solving the light emission problem," Intel's Paniccia said.
The experimental chip includes silicon on insulator, a technology promoted by IBM and one Intel has regularly criticized when used in microprocessors. Otherwise, the chip was produced on standard silicon processes, which could reduce the cost of mass-producing lasers because they can be made in the same factories as flash memory or chipsets.
"Lots of people have been trying a variety of ways to make a silicon laser, and some skepticism has grown up. However, now we see a real silicon laser. There may not be a direct part for part replacement--more an enabling of the entire silicon technology--because this was a missing weapon in the silicon armory," said Graham Reed, a professor at the University of Surrey in England. "Silicon is well-established as a low-cost, high-volume medium. Just look how inexpensive electronic devices have now become."
Intel has also been improving the technology behind its other silicon parts for the optical industry. When it showed off the silicon modulator last year, the part ran at 1 gigabit per second. Three weeks ago, it published a paper showing the chip running at 2.5gbps, and a paper currently being reviewed shows an Intel silicon modulator churning at 4gbps. Commercial modulators today run at 10GHz.
A paper providing more details on the laser will be published on Wednesday in Nature magazine, which also published the original paper detailing the Raman Effect in1928 and the paper on the world's first laser in 1960.

- what a misrepresentation
- This is completely useless achievement for silicon photonics but it is presented as the best thing after the sliced bread. If you need an external laser to pump this so-called "silicon laser", what if the point? Why not use the externally provided laser light you launched into the chip anyway? This gudget simply takes one laser signal and converts it into another laser signal. ergo it is not a real self-contained laser source, as the headline would imply. The true achievement would be to produce electrically pumped laser, but nobody managed to do it so far in silicon. Just another hype

- Jim, unfortunately you are correct
- There is no mention of the pump laser and the Raman efficiency, but the references to the nature article is even worse as they call it an all silicon laser.
On the other hand there is much pressure in the telcom industry still, such that good work needs to be pumped with orders of magnitude more energy than what the real output of the work is.

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray Thursday waved the green flag for the hassle-free release of Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer "Chennai Express" in Maharashtra.
The development came a day after the MNS Chitrapat Sena (Film Wing) threatened to disrupt and stop its release Aug 8 as it reportedly attempted to dislodge ongoing popular Marathi movies from single-sreen cinemas in the state.
The party was upset with reports that the Rohit Shetty directed movie had demanded prime slots in single screen cinemas and even some multiplexes in the state where the superhit Marathi movie "Duniyadari" has been running to packed houses since July 19.
On Thursday afternoon, Shetty, and "Duniyadari" director Sanjay Jadhav and others called on Thackeray to hammer out a solution.
After listening to both parties, Thackeray ruled that if "Duniyadari" was not yanked off single screen cinemas across the state, then the MNS would not object to the release and run of "Chennai Express" in Maharashtra.
After both parties agreed to this suggestion, the decks have been cleared for "Chennai Express" release in the city and the state.
Adopting an aggressive stance Wednesday, MNS Chitrapat Sena chief Amey Khopkar had threatened to bar "Chennai Express" if it was done at the expense of "Duniyadari" or any other Marathi movies, especially in single-screen cinemas.
He also wrote to the owners of all single screen theatres seeking a commitment from them that they would not rip off Marathi films for giving a prime time platform to "Chennai Express".
Based on the best-selling novel of the same title by the late Suhas Shirwalkar, "Duniyadari" has been a major commercial success with critical acclaim, earning a record Rs. 5 crore since its release.
It stars Swapnil Joshi and Urmila Kanitkar in the lead roles and tells the story of a modern affluent youngster's journey and it has gone down well with the Marathi film lovers.
