With the legislative session winding down, expect to see a number of announcements from legislators about their future plans—Kate Brown has already announced she won't seek the majority leader position again—including maybe an announcement or two about who's running for U.S. Senate.
The latest announcement: State. Sen Avel Gordly (Independent, from NE/SE Portland) has declared that she won't be running for reelection next year, bringing her legislative career to an end in January 2009. She's accepted a position as adjunct associate professor in the Black Studies department at PSU.
Even though she's unaffiliated, Gordly normally votes with Democrats—still, her departure could very well give the Democrats an opportunity to pick up another seat next year, improving their numbers, at least, on paper. Her announcement this early gives plenty of time to potential candidates for the seat, unlike certain other politicians I could name who are dragging out their reelection decision until this fall, just months before the May primary.
Sen. Gordly's full press release is after the jump.
On Looking Forward
Senator Avel Louise Gordly
Today, I publicly announce that I will not run for re-election to the Senate seat representing District 23 when my current term ends in January 2009.
I am deeply grateful to the people of my district and to all of the people across the state of Oregon who have provided support and encouragement to me and this office over these past 16 years. My beloved family, church family and dear friends have provided a consistent cloak of prayer for which I feel blessed to receive.
It is my belief that public service is a noble calling and profession. To be granted this opportunity to serve has been a humbling honor and a privilege, and has also been an opportunity full of rich learnings about our state, its history and its people.
The working relationships and friendships from the far corners of the state and everywhere in between that I have been blessed with over the years have enriched my life immeasurably. I plan to write a book about that one day.
It is now time to transition to my alma mater and share those learnings in another great institutional settingwith students at Portland State University, where I have been appointed an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Black Studies in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and where my focus will be on public policy analysis and development.
Nelson Mandela, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, said that Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
I look forward to taking on new challenges, to seizing the opportunities that Portland State offers to expand the role of African Americans and other people of color in the legislative process and to develop a youth leadership institute to help Oregon groom and retain potential leaders for our state. We are losing too much of this talent to other states, because as a State, we are not working aggressively enough to keep it.
I look forward to being active in an academic setting, in the heart of a great urban and international university, in the center of a beautiful city and in the state where I have lived my entire life.
I look forward to sharing my life and professional experiences to benefit the educational growth and development of students who are not only preparing to take their places in a world that increasingly requires culturally competent people, but who can also engage cooperatively in a nation challenged by the gift of becoming more diverse.
I have also gifted my papers, covering a period of activism reaching back to 1979, jointly to the Portland State University Millar Library and to the Department of Black Studies. These papers are being organized as the Senator Avel Louise Gordly Collection.
I thank my Chief of Staff, Sean Cruz, for contributing his service, and I wish to honor his talent, creativity and enlightened world view that has served my office and our constituents so well through the past three legislative sessions.
I thank all of the fine people who have answered the call of public service and served as legislative assistants and interns throughout my 16 years of service. Their contributions to my office, to the constituents of Senate District 23 and to the state of Oregon were oftenas all who work in this institution can appreciateabove and beyond the call of duty.
It is my desire to take a more active role in the development of a mental health ministry at my churchHighland Christian Center, home of a multicultural congregationmany of whom have been uprooted from familiar neighborhoods, homes and schools by the forces of gentrification.
Finally, I thank Senate President Courtney for every effort he personally made to ensure that my return to the Senate this session as an independent member was successful.
Senate President Courtneys love for this institution and all of the people who serve here is unmatched. I am particularly grateful to have had the opportunity to serve with this true servant leader.
Again, I thank my constituents in District 23 for their trust in my service to our great state.
I look forward to participating in the modernization of the legislative process and of the Legislature itself as we move towards annual sessions. We as a body have an opportunity to build on the fine work of this 74th Legislative Assembly when we reconvene in February 2008, and I look forward to what we may accomplish for this great State and its people in that historic session.
It is my hope and prayer that the next legislative session will focus on revenue reform, a rejection of partisan politics, securing a quality, culturally competent education for all of our students, and on setting an Oregon table that values all of its people, including the people who put the food on that table, and those who clean up afterwards.
Someone once said that service is the rent that we all pay for living on this earth.
The legislative process belongs to the Peopleit is my fervent hope that more people will claim this process and actively participate in it.
I believe that by each of us embracing and acting on this thought we can lift this State to greatnessand keep it there.
I almost always find myself in agreement with Sen Gordly on the issues, but for heaven's sake, will someone PLEASE get it through her head that Gordon Smith is no moderate, and needs to be kicked out on his ass? Her endorsement of him is totally incongruous and frankly baffling.

Short-term nationalization of failed banks is gaining support--but without stringent safeguards, new rounds of pathology are inevitable.
This is not only the most expensive way to solve the problem. It's also the most likely to fail.
The Paulson/Bernanke bailout plan is not the way to go, unless you work on Wall Street. Even if you do, there are compelling reasons to fear it. Here's what Congress should do instead.

Martha Jackson Jarvis: Ancestors' Bones
September 5-December 9, 2012
Martha Jackson Jarvis: Ancestors' Bones explores relationships and contingencies linking histories and spirits captured in a vintage photographic album and in the physical materiality of nature. Conceptualized as an environment of immersion that blurs boundaries between sequential and spatial narratives,her installation of drawings, digitally enhanced imagery and sculpture, literally and figuratively unearths resonant histories from the photographic record, dislodging the visual fixity of the socio-historic image, and creatively reimagining their stories within the natural world.
Working with natural materials,pigments, and dyes-most gathered and distilled by the artist-Jackson Jarvis gives new life to dormant or decaying nature. In her large-scale drawing series Ancestors' Bones: Free Spirits playful if episodic drips,splashes, and brushy strokes converse with densely interlocked coral imagery, weighty nodes amongst the diaphanous calligraphy. These large-scale drawings bear the improvisational imprint of an artist best known for her sculptural work who moves with ease from plane to space and from the abstract to the concrete. The freedom and freshness imparted in the drawings relay the creative machinations,in form,structure, and line that underpin much of Jackson Jarvis's three-dimensional work, as in Nest Stones (2010-11) and Umbilicus (2008).
As an environmental installation,Ancestors Bones evokes the connective tissue that binds generations and genuses,the animate and inanimate,the familial and strange. Jackson Jarvis allows the literal and indexical readings imparted by vintage photographs of black family and community in spare environs to linger but not define, to inform and influence but not proscribe intended meaning. Overlaid with natural and organic referents,the photographic trace becomes synonymous with the lifecycle of nature just as nature is ancestors' bones. In Jackson Jarvis's work,the regenerative forces of nature and the human spirit are entangled,nested and rooted. The compost place is Jackson Jarvis's rich terrain, a source for form,context and creativity.
Martha Jackson Jarvis was born in Lynchburg,Virginia in 1952 and resides in Washington,DC. Her studio practice includes large-scale public commissions and nature based installations. Jackson Jarvis received her BA from Tyler School of Art,Temple University and her MFA from Antioch University. Her first solo exhibit at the University of Delaware was in 1988, "The Gathering," installed in the Old College Gallery.
The exhibition will be on view in Mechanical Hall Gallery, University Museums,University of Delaware, Newark,DE from September 5-December 9, 2012.

The inner core of the Earth is not a uniform sphere of dense, solid metal says a geophysicist in the US - its properties vary with position and direction within the sphere. The evidence comes both from the time it takes seismic waves to travel through the core and from studies of the Earth's natural vibration frequencies.
A decade ago, geophysicists observed that seismic waves from earthquakes that travel through the core parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation pass through the Earth between 2 and 4 seconds faster than if they travel parallel to the plane of the equator. This finding fuelled suspicions that the core is not uniform.
Meanwhile, other geophysicists noticed that the natural vibration frequencies of the Earth are split - that is, instead of appearing as single frequencies, they appear as pairs of closely spaced frequencies. This led some to suspect that the core was ...

CBC Building
Filed in All entries, Architecture
The newest addition to IJburg can already be seen from the A10 interstate near exit 114 and has already been given a name: the xxx's. A prominent and elegant building, formed by a diagonal grid covering the façades. From the interior or the balcony, a striking view across the water with the A10 as a background. 3Years ago, BNB architects and B06 architect-firm took the initiative in self-developing an office building for their own use. The municipality gave them a 2 month option on a building plot on Steigereiland with a GFA capacity of 3500 m2. In this period a sketch design had to be drawn, 65% of letters of intent to be gathered and a financial plan had to be realised. On their own, the two firms were good for 700 m2, thereby creating the idea of CBC. Anyone who decides to join becomes commissioner and is therefore able to participate in decisions and buys condominium at cost. Within 2 months, 8 end users had been found eager to participate in developing their own office, giving the option on the plot a follow-up. Click here for the link.

Food connoisseur, Steph of Raspberri Cupcakes, has ingeniously turned Ben & Jerry's flavor, Half Baked, into a cake form with her Fudge Brownie and Cookie Dough Cake. The cake is chocolate and vanilla marble cake, iced and layered with Cookie Dough Buttercream and topped off with delectable fudge brownies. To help reduce the sweetness and to balance the flavors, she used salted butter and attempted to reduce the sugar.

The UK Hardy Plant Society (HPS) was formed in 1957 to foster interest in hardy herbaceous plants on the widest possible scale. The aims of the society are to give its members information about the wealth of both well and little known plants, and to ensure that all worthy plants remain in cultivation and have the widest possible distribution. In the Somerset Local Group, we provide information and activities at a local level for Hardy Plant Society members to promote the aims of the society.
This is accomplished by organising a programme of meetings, visits and publishing a local newsletter. (Please see the Programme of Events page for full details of forthcoming events.)
Membership of the local group is open to anyone who is member of the Hardy Plant Society nationally. You can find details of how to join on the Membership page.

Rosa 'Paul's Himalayan Musk'
Rambling roses have the power to make you stop you in your tracks, gasp in awe, and knock your socks off. And there are few plants that can really do that. But they have to perform just once. They have to give it their all: literally. The impact of so many flowers far exceeds the effect of a climbing tea-rose clambering up a house, spinning out its flowering over the whole summer. True, such roses are easier to deal with and maintain a 'pretty' presence for much longer. But for me they are simply outclassed by the impact of a well-grown rambler.
When we first moved to Henley Mill I planted Rosa 'Paul's Himalayan Musk' to climb a mature ash tree behind the house, overhanging the mill race. I tentatively positioned a wooded frame, about 2m tall for it to grow through. How inadequate! PHM does not do modesty. Its clouds of double pink flowers soon reached the crown of the tree and now they cascade down from all its branches to overhang the water below. It is sensational. Every visitor to the garden stops to admire it. So, grow it if you have room, and celebrate its beauty.

Cheney directed the CIA not to inform Congress about a nascent counterterrorism program eight years ago that CIA Director Leon Panetta terminated in June.
Government officials with direct knowledge of Panetta's June 24 briefing to congressional intelligence committees confirmed that Cheney had told the CIA not to discuss the program with Congress yet.
Subsequent CIA directors did not inform Congress because the intelligence-gathering effort had not developed to the point that they believed merited a congressional briefing. That from a former intelligence official and another government official.

White Station guard Chris Chiozza expected to pick Florida on Tuesday
White Station junior point guard Chris Chiozza, one of the fastest-rising prospects in the class of 2014, will announce his college decision Tuesday afternoon, Chiozza told The Commercial Appeal.
Chiozza is expected to choose Florida, a source close to the Chiozza family said Friday evening. CBSSports.com first reported Chiozza's choice.
In addition to the Gators, Chiozza (5-10, 165) had considered the University of Memphis, Auburn, Richmond, UMass, Tennessee and Ohio State.
"I've finally been thinking about it last couple of weeks," Chiozza said. "I just found the school would be the best fit for me. It's a great coach and a great style of play for me, and I'd probably be in the best conference in America."
He canceled a meeting with Tigers coach Josh Pastner this weekend due to "family coming in town," Chiozza said.
Chiozza, rated a four-star guard by Rivals.com, burst onto the spring AAU circuit the last several weeks as one of the more heady and exciting pure point guards in the class of 2014.
"I (always) knew he'd be one of the best point guards in the country," White Station assistant coach Kevin Carraway said. "I called a lot of coaches about him. Some folks laughed at me and said he was too small, but I knew he'd blow up."
Chiozza's father, Chris, said his son opted to get his decision out of the way to avoid worrying about a school's scholarship situation down the line.
Chiozza cannot sign a national letter of intent until November.
"We think he's made an educated decision, not a halfhearted one," the elder Chiozza said. "Everybody thinks it's awful early for a junior, but as a 5-10, 5-11 point guard — it's not like a 6-6 wing. You only need one 5-10 point guard. (For us), it just came down to numbers."

The start of VMworld 2012 and the biggest Virtualization conference of the year is less than two weeks away and the surge of marketing emails have started to arrive about all the new and exciting offerings that the venders and 3rd party companies are planning on showing off at VMworld. This is one of the things I enjoy the most about attending these conferences, seeing what's new and to see the direction of the trends in virtualization. At last year's show, VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas, the trend that I saw was the advancements in storage and storage virtualization. My prediction at the end of VMworld 2011 was that 2012 would be the year for the network virtualization and or software defined networking.

Microsoft is offering public cloud, service provider, and on-premise versions of Azure. Will VMware follow suite with a vSphere based Public Cloud Computing offering?
While looking around the web for anything new with virtualization, I kept seeing more and more posts and articles about the new type of virtual hypervisor. Type 0, now this sounds interesting and I found these definitions for each type of hypervisor.

VMware's Executive Shuffle! Maritz Out and Gelsinger In
• • 1 Comment
VMworld 2012 is right around the corner and the time leading up to the conference is usually the time major announcements are made about new technology and/or new products to strike interest in different technologies that will be presented at the conference. Today a different kind of announcement has been made, in that Paul Maritz is no longer VMware CEO, and he is being replaced by Pat Gelsinger, President and COO of EMC's Information Infrastructure Product division. Mr. Maritz will become a Vice Chairman at EMC, although I am still up in the air on whether that means Paul is on his way out of EMC or looking to lead somewhere else? Maybe one could speculate Cloud Foundry? What do you make of VMware's Executive Shuffle?
In my humble opinion, 2011 was the year for storage inside the virtualization space with a lot of new storage related technologies presented at VMworld 2011. There were different technologies ranging from Tier 1 SSD storage in a box that can plug right into VMware vSphere as its own datastore, to all the software storage venders that are now virtualizing their Storage Processers. Yes, for me, 2011 was the year for storage in virtualization.
I have spent a great deal of time lately working with the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS). This computing platform is really quite impressive with its power and flexibility, but my expectations about the platform have really changed since I completed the UCS training. During the training classes that I attended, both the design and install courses emphasized that the Cisco UCS platform would be a collaborative platform that would bring the different groups like Storage, Network, and Server each working their own functional area of responsibility within UCS based on role permissions. That sounded great. The network team can create and trunk the VLANS and the storage team could add the boot targets as well as assign the LUNS. This platform is a true collective effort by all teams right?
I recently had the joys of helping deal with an All Paths Down (APD) situation which presented itself when removing a LUN from all the hosts in a cluster. If you do not detach the device first, which will also initiate an unmount operation before you physically unpresent the LUN from the ESX, it causes an APD situation to happen. ADP is when ESXi server no longer has any active paths to a device. When the device is no longer present and you rescan the adapters ESXi server will still retain the information on the removed devices and hostd will continue to try to open a connection to the disk device by issuing different commands like read capacity and read requests to validate the partitions tables are set. If SCSI Sense codes are not returned from a device (you are unable to contact the storage array, or the storage array that does not return the supported "SCSI codes"), then the device is in an All-Paths-Down (APD) state, and the ESXi host continues to send I/O requests until it times out.
How do we measure success? This seems like it should be an easy question to answer but is it? Success itself is a dynamic variable that can be defined in several different ways from a promotion or even recognition from your peers. Now what about a successful cloud implementation or implementation in general? How would you define success? The true definition of implementing is to fulfill; perform; carry out: or to put into effect according to or by means of a definite plan or procedure. For the design and implementation team, success could be defined by the completed installation design, deployment and verification testing of all functionality as defined in the statement of work.

""When I made the film The Invention of Lying, they gave me a private jet for getting back and forth between New York and London. I thought, 'I will never use it' but I ended up using it every weekend. You turn up, right, and the airport is completely empty. I mean, there's just someone at the desk and then the pilot, who says, 'Are you ready to go?' and you say, 'Don't you want to see my passport?' and he goes, 'Oh yeah, I suppose I'd better.'" "
Gulfstream Elite Cabin Concept in G550: The BJT Report
The Gulfstream Elite interior concept debuted in 2011 in the G650 and found its second application in the G450. To date, Gulfstream has delivered some 30 Elite cabins. Now this cabin is coming to the G550 and the manufacturer invited Business Jet Traveler and journalists from several other publications to experience it on a recent flight in N550GA (a G550 demonstrator model).
"Integrated" barely describes Elite, which incorporates virtually every aspect of the passengers' experience inside the popular large business jet, now celebrating 10 years in service.
Gulfstream does all its interiors in-house, Tray Crow, Gulfstream director of interior design, explained. Obviously, this is a profitable area for the company, but it also gives Gulfstream better control of what goes in the cabin. "When something breaks, the customer says, 'My Gulfstream is broken,' regardless [of] the problem. We want to be able to fix it as soon as we can, so we want to have control of everything that's in the aircraft."
In-flight entertainment and cabin management systems are notoriously problem-prone. Elite includes Gulfstream's cabin management system, which provides digital control of the high-definition entertainment, lighting (LED throughout), temperature and window shades, all via an iPod Touch. Passengers can also use their own iPhones by downloading the free app.
Each seat is provided with an iPod Touch, hidden in a sidewall compartment and complete with charging station. By selecting seat position, any iPod or iPhone can be used to control the above functions anywhere in the cabin. A master control panel, which includes digital circuit breakers, is located on the wall in the galley, for control by the flight attendant. The system is designed so that no single point of failure results in total loss of functionality.
The entertainment system includes two dual DVD players, two cabin LCD monitors and a stereo speaker system (which can be very loud, as this writer inadvertently found out).
The forward galley in N550GA features a microwave, dual coffee makers (including espresso) and water sterilization system. Several components are stacked in "a stainless steel stack to save space and weight, make it look good and it's more efficient," said Andrew Fulford, design operations manager for Gulfstream's Industrial Design Department. Fulford came to Gulfstream from the automotive industry.
He pointed out numerous details of the design that are not readily apparent through casual observation. The reading lights, gaspers and oxygen boxes on the ceiling above the seats are placed in such a way that they are less obvious. "When you look down the ceiling of a normal cabin, these give a rather spotty look. But when you look in the Elite cabin ceiling, it's clean," said Fulford.
Gulfstream has also added features to the seats. "We offer a seat that has more functionality than our regular seat to offer than lumbar, heated seat massage, powered back rest and leg rest," said Fulford. "We've also developed a new divan which is a lot lower to the ground and the back angle is more reclined. So now it's more like the sofa at home."
He said Elite uses a modular approach, so that the customer has several options. For example, the galley can be moved to the rear of the aircraft or the divan to the front.
What a rather disappointing slide show.
You could only locate 4 pictures of the "Elite" interior?
(iPod, the outside of the G550, the wine glasses and a flight attendant)
So really only 3 pictures of anything on the inside of the plane?

Greek Banks Drive Bill Rates Below EU Loans at Sale
July 13 (Bloomberg) -- For the first time since getting bailed out in May, Greece sold Treasury bills at an interest rate below the 5 percent charged by the European Union when it rescued the nation from default.
The domestic auction suggests that confidence among banks in Greece, which purchased 80 percent of the 1.625 billion euros ($2.1 billion) of 26-week bills today, is growing. Prime Minister George Papandreou's government cut wages, postponed retirements and raised taxes to trim the euro-region's second-highest budget deficit and restore investor willingness to lend.
"It's an encouraging sign that Greece can finance its short-term requirement," said Michiel de Bruin, who oversees $32 billion of European government debt at F&C Asset Management in Amsterdam. "It's a step in the right direction. But it's perhaps too early to say the situation has turned in the euro zone. Investors are still focused on how the austerity measures are implemented."
The bills due Jan. 14 were sold at a rate of 4.65 percent, the Public Debt Management Agency in Athens said today in a statement. Investors bid for 3.64 times the bills offered, the agency said.
Papandreou, 58, pledged to overhaul Greece's pension system to secure 110 billion euros in emergency loans from the EU and the International Monetary Fund. The pension vote follows passage in May of 30 billion euros in austerity measures.
Raising Revenue
His government has adopted budget cuts and additional revenue-raising measures worth more than 14 percent of gross domestic product since it took office in October. Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou said last week the country may beat a target to reduce the budget deficit to 8.1 percent of gross domestic product this year from last year's 13.6 percent of GDP, the second highest in the euro region.
Europe's debt crisis was triggered after Papandreou's Pasok party took power and said the deficit was more than 12 percent of GDP, twice the previous government's estimate. That sparked a surge in bond yields as Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investors Service cut the nation's credit rankings to below investment grade.
Portugal earlier today had its credit rating cut two levels to A1 at Moody's. The ratings company cited risks economic growth will remain weak after the nation allowed its budget deficit to balloon.
Portuguese Bonds Fall
Portuguese bonds extended declines after the rating cuts, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year security rising 10 basis points to 5.54 percent. That widened the yield premium investors demand to hold the bonds over German debt of similar maturities, the benchmark for the euro region, by 5 basis points to 285 basis points.
Papaconstantinou said he was satisfied with the results of today's auction, and said the government may resume bond sales next year.
"We are satisfied," Papaconstantinou told reporters in Brussels today. At least 10 foreign banks took part, he said.
While the rate at the auction was lower than estimated by some strategists, it was still the highest since a sale of similar-maturity bills on Sept. 30, 2008, two weeks after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., when the rate was 5.09 percent.
"The auction today looked good, but the real test for me would be when they return to the bond market to borrow longer term," said Wilson Chin, a fixed-income strategist at ING Groep NV in Amsterdam.
Elevated Yields
Two-year notes extended gains following the sale, with the yield of the debt due in March 2012 falling 158 basis points to 9.50 percent. The cost of insuring against default on Greek bonds through credit-default swaps fell 16 basis points to 828.5, the lowest level in three weeks, according to CMA DataVision prices.
Greek bond yields still show elevated concern about a default. Ten-year bonds yield 756 basis points, or 7.56 percentage points, more than German debt. While that's down from a record 965 basis-point spread on May 7, just before a 750 billion-euro EU-IMF regional rescue was announced, it's about three times the average of 256 basis points since the Lehman failure.
Signs are emerging that the economies of the most indebted members in the euro region may be stabilising. Italian manufacturing rose 1 percent in May from April, and Spain's climbed for a third month, government reports showed in the past two weeks. Ireland's Central Statistics Office said June 30 that the economy expanded for the first time in more than two years in the first quarter.
Tax Increases
Papaconstantinou said yesterday that he expected deficit cuts in the second half of 2010 to be as good as in the first six months.
The government has raised taxes on tobacco, fuel and alcohol and the broadest value-added tax was raised to 23 percent from 19 percent. Public workers had their bonus payments eliminated and their overall wages reduced. The planned overhaul of the pension system means they will have to work longer and will collect less when they retire. The administration has also begun a crackdown on tax evasion aimed at boosting revenue through cutting exemptions and deductions and clamping down on underpayments.
The government plans to raise another 3 billion euros from the sale of state-controlled assets including Hellenic Railways Organization SA and Thessaloniki Water & Sewage Co SA.
Deficit Shrinks
The measures may be having an effect. The budget deficit fell by 46 percent in the first half of the year, with revenue rising 7.2 percent, helped by the tax increases, the Finance Ministry said yesterday.
Foreign buyers accounted for 20 percent of the bill purchases today, according to Petros Christodoulou, head of the debt agency in Athens. Christodoulou said he was satisfied with foreign participation even as non-domestic buyers had bought around 30 percent of the bills at sales in the past.
"The fact that the requested amount in the first auction after the country entered the EU-IMF regime was covered 3.6 times should be considered as a success," said Fokion Karavias, general manager of global markets at EFG Eurobank Ergasias SA in Athens. "The success of the coverage ratio has boosted confidence."

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, photographer and author Ben Long details the features, controls, and options in the Nikon D800 digital SLR. The course begins with an overview of what a digital SLR is and a tour of the camera's basic components. Ben then discusses the camera's basic operation: changing lenses, navigating the menus, shooting in automatic mode, reviewing and managing photos on the camera's LCD screen, and transferring photos to a computer.
Next, the course introduces more advanced exposure options: program mode, exposure compensation, ISO adjustments, and more. After Ben briefly defines each option, he shows how to adjust it using the camera's controls.
Ben also discusses white balance options, advanced metering and autofocus controls, flash, live view, and video shooting. The course ends with a chapter on maintenance, including sensor- and camera-cleaning and care tips.
When you activate Live View, your camera raises its mirror out of the way so that light can get from the lens directly to the sensor. It's the sensor that creates the image that's shown on the LCD screen, so no Live View image can be created when mirror is down and in the way. Now, unfortunately, there's something else that happens when the mirror flips up. The autofocus sensors in the camera are located up here in the camera's pentaprism. Light from the lens gets bounced up here by the mirror and the autofocus sensors analyze it to calculate focus.
When the mirror flips up though, those sensors go blind, meaning your camera loses its normal Autofocus capability. When you're in Live View then, the camera has to use a different method to autofocus. Rather than relying on its autofocus sensors, the computer in the camera will analyze the image that the sensor is capturing and focus accordingly. The practical upshot is that Autofocus in Live View is much slower than it is when you shoot normally. By default your D800 goes into AF-S Focus mode when you first drop it into Live View.
That of course is Single-Servo Autofocus, great for shooting still objects. And you've already seen how I can move my focus point around with the multicontroller. Note that I can press the button in the middle of the multicontroller to always pop my focus point back to the very center of my frame. I can change the focus mode on my D800 by pressing the AF mode button on the side of the camera, and that highlights my focus mode right here. And now turning the main command dial will take me from Single to Full-Time Servo Focus mode.
So that's going to give me the ability to track moving objects. I'll let go of that dial right now. Just as in normal shooting, I can also change my Autofocus Area mode. Right now I'm in normal area AF. This is going to let me get pinpoint focus on a very particular spot in my frame, as indicated by my focus spot. But I have some other options as well, and I get to those again by pressing the AF mode button but this time while turning the subcommand dial.
So the first thing I get here is, if I turn the dial to the right, is that cycles me on to Subject-tracking AF. So what I can do here is if I have a moving subject--let's say this camera was suddenly dancing around my scene-- I could put this on the camera, hit my center button, and now the camera will track it no matter where it moves, and as I move my frame around. And here you can see it kind of thinks it moved there. Moving on, I'm going to press my AF Select button and move over here to Face priority Autofocus.
This is going to use face detection to automatically identify people in the frame and keep them in focus. The system can track up to 35 faces in the frame at once, but it will always focus on the closest. If I want to choose a different face, I can just use the multiselector to cycle through all of the different faces that it's recognized. Obviously, we have no faces in here at this time, so it's not doing anything. Moving on, another press takes me to Wide-Area Autofocus mode.
This is very similar to normal Area Autofocus, except that the camera is analyzing a larger area. So I can still move this anywhere that I want in the frame, but now its analysis is not going to be of a real pinpoint area, but it's going to do a wider analysis to stand a better chance of getting this object in focus rather than just one tiny, little point. Typically the difference between this and Normal-Area Autofocus is not going to matter so much if you are at small apertures, or even midsize apertures, simply because you're going to pick up a lot of extra focus just from your depth of field. But if you're shooting with a small aperture, this could make a big difference.
In general, for landscape shots, most handheld shots, any non-portrait subject, you're going to do better with a Wide-Area Autofocus than Normal-Area Autofocus, just because you're not going to be measuring such a tiny, little area. Finally, I can focus manually in Live View, and it works just like it would normally. I'm going to switch my lens from Autofocus over to Manual, and now I can simply focus using the focus ring on my camera. Now, the problem here is that it's a little bit difficult to see focus on the screen.
Fortunately, my zoom controls still work. So I'm going to hit my plus button, and notice it's zooming in on the area I have selected. Of course I can pan that around. I can zoom in a long way and that gives me a nice clear view. I'm having still a little bit of trouble there, so I'm going to zoom in farther. I can get really just right on top of this thing. Get my focus set, and once I have it where I like it, I can zoom back out and take my shot.
One last thing for Live View shooting: because my face is not up here against the viewfinder, it's possible for light to enter the system here and possibly cause flares or reflections within the camera. So I'm going to activate my viewfinder shutter, which is the switch right here, which just closes off the viewfinder and guarantees that the inside of the camera will stay dark. So if you're doing a lot of Live View shooting, don't forget to flip that thing down to keep light from entering your viewfinder.

Find a Trip
Trace the footsteps of early humans as we explore the cradles of civilization in southwest France and on Spain's northern coast. On an expedition designed with paleoanthropologist Donald Johanson, examine carvings and cave paintings that illustrate life up to 40,000 years ago. From the Dordogne to Basque Country, stay in beautiful medieval towns that dot these long-inhabited landscapes.
Depart on an overnight flight to Bordeaux.
Journey to the beautiful Dordogne region—still
commonly known by its pre-revolutionary
name, Périgord. Here, rivers have carved up the
limestone landscape, leaving cliffs and caves
where humans have built their homes for tens of
thousands of years. Settle into your country hotel
in the Vézère valley, and gather this evening for
a welcome reception and dinner.
Hotel Le Centenaire or Hotel Villa Romaine (D)
Set out with Christine Desdemaines-Hugon, one of the world's leading experts on Paleolithic art and author of Stepping Stones: A Journey Through the Ice Age Caves of the Dordogne, on an excursion to the majestic sculpted frieze of horses and bison at Cap Blanc. Then see other local finds on a guided tour at the National Museum of Prehistory. After lunch on your own in the nearby town of Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, end the day with a visit to either Font-de-Gaume, home to more than 200 polychrome paintings, or Rouffignac Cave, known as the "cave of a hundred mammoths."
Travel to picturesque Sarlat, whose original halftimbered,
golden-stone buildings and narrow
cobbled streets make it one of the best-preserved
medieval towns in France. After time to explore
on your own, gather for a unique "prehistoric"
lunch, made with the ingredients once used by the
Neanderthals. In the afternoon, join archaeologist
Isabelle Castanet for a visit to Castel-Merle, a
complex of prehistoric stone shelters more than
300 feet long, excavated and preserved by several
generations of the Castanet family. Meet prehistory
expert Denis Tauxe for a private, behind-the-scenes
visit to Lascaux II, a painstaking recreation of the
two primary chambers of the original Lascaux cave,
whose famous paintings have been off-limits to visitors
since 1963 to prevent deterioration.
Hotel Le Centenaire or Hotel Villa Romaine (B,L,D)
This morning, venture into the spectacular natural
galleries of Pech Merle, an enormous cave system
filled with prehistoric art and artifacts dating back
25,000 years. See rare representations of human
figures, engraved or spotted animals, and a mammoth drawn using the natural contours of the
rock. The cave floor displays children's footprints
preserved in the ancient clay more than 12,000
years ago. Following lunch on your own, continue to
the lively university town of Toulouse.
Grand Hotel De L'Opera (B)
Drive southwest into France's Basque region,
stopping in a picturesque village for lunch in a
traditional Basque restaurant. In the afternoon,
enter the Isturitz and Oxocelhaya caves with local
prehistory specialist Aude Labarge and meet
with the archaeological site director, Christian
Normand. Used by human beings for more than
80,000 years, these superimposed caves have
yielded tens of thousands of artifacts, including
flutes, sculpted reindeer horns, and whale-bone
tools. Cross into Spain this afternoon and trace
the Bay of Biscay to the Cantabria region. Check
into our charming hotel, a manor house situated
in the heart of the medieval village of Santillana
del Mar.

representations in human history on a visit to
the caves at Puente Viesgo, part of the Paleolithic
Cave Art of Northern Spain World Heritage site.
Recently identified as the oldest cave artwork in
the world, the paintings in El Castillo cave date
back at least 40,800 years. Explore the nearby Las
Monedas cave—the longest in Puente Viesgo—
and later, delve deeper into the prehistory of the
region on a visit to the Altamira Museum.
Parador Santillana Del Mar (B,L,D)
Continue our exploration of Cantabria's World
Heritage–listed caves at Hornos de la Peña. Here,
large-scale naturalistic engravings depict horses,
bison, aurochs, goats, and other animals, as well
as an unusual anthropomorphic figure with a
human-like arm and a tail. After lunch at a local
restaurant, transfer to Bilbao, the largest city in
Spain's autonomous Basque Country. Explore
the city on your own this afternoon, and if you
wish, stop in at the world-famous Guggenheim
Museum located just a short walk from our hotel.
Hotel Miró
Today we are joined by renowned archaeologist
Dr. Ana Cristina Pinto-Llona, an expert on the
origins of modern humans. Ana is a two-time
National Geographic grant recipient for her work
in the Asturias region of northern Spain, and also
spent several years excavating at the Atapuerca archaeological site. Visit Atapuerca, where the
oldest known hominin fossil remains in Europe
have been unearthed. Return to Bilbao and
celebrate your prehistoric adventure at a festive
farewell dinner.
Hotel Miró or Hotel Carlton (B,L,D)
After breakfast, transfer to Bilbao Airport for your
flight home.
Andrew Howley
National Geographic staff writer and editor Andrew Howley's enthusiasm for cave art began in college when he scrawled a bison on the wall above his desk. Throughout his studies of archaeology and art, images from the European caves held an elevated status and later inspired him to paint them on everyday objects to peddle at local fairs. He finally visited the caves when his first writing assignment for the Geographic had him covering the 2010 International Federation of Rock Art Organizations (IFRAO) conference in France on the 70th anniversary of the discovery of Lascaux. Later, while reporting from a marine biology expedition to the Pitcairn Islands with NG Explorers-in-Residence Enric Sala and Mike Fay, he scaled perilous cliffs to see some of the most remote petroglyphs in the world. In late 2013, he headed underground once more, to produce daily reports on Lee Berger's Rising Star Expedition, which unearthed a record number of early hominid fossils from a tiny cave in South Africa.
Andrew will join the following departure:
Sep 04 - 13, 2015
Price is per person, double occupancy. For a single
room, add $1,280.
International airfare to Bordeaux and return from Bilbao is not included in the expedition cost.
This is a moderately active trip that involves walking up to two miles a day, and several cave visits. Conditions within some caves will require guests to maneuver through small spaces, at times over wet, uneven ground (often without handrails). As a result, this expedition may not be suitable for those with a serious medical condition, claustrophobia or limited mobility.

I was told there was no physical address I could mail it to. this I do not understand, I told her to forget it and I will not order anything else from overstocked . com thank you ****Read More

Play Set
Bought this for my 2 year old and she absolutely loves it. All of it! Loves the slide, swings, small trampoline and the little seat to twirl on. it is great for her age. I don't see that it would be fit for any kids over the age of 8 like it suggests. It is for smaller children. I first seen it when it was $999 and wanted to get it. But when overstock had it on sale for $*** I knew I had to get it.Read More

More to Your Story
by Jan Zwick, W. Craig Zwick
Product Description
Have you ever noticed how the experiences of life, whether great or small, teach us some of the most profound spiritual lessons?
In More to the Story, Elder and Sister Zwick share some of their most insightful experiences and help us to see the gospel principles found in those stories.
They recount stories drawn from everyday experiences—recollections from their youth, insights from Sister Zwick's work as an artist, and lessons learned from their children. Other stories tell of exceptional life-changing events while serving in the Church in a variety of places around the world.
Elder and Sister Zwick write: "Our lives are filled with short but powerful experiences—stories—that individually may not have immediate or significant impact. Too often they are forgotten. But if we keep a record, we have opportunities to treasure up those morsels of spiritual energy for ourselves and for those we love."
The stories in More to Your Story will inspire you to reflect on your experiences and record your own stories so that those you love can learn from you how the gospel has blessed your life and can bless theirs too.

I didn't feel that the book lived up to its title, and I wasn't really inspired by Bro. Zwick's stories. However, I loved Sis. Swick's.
By kristie, Submitted on 2015-02-25
I loved the book. It made me realize how much closer to the Savior I can be by my day to day experiences. I can draw on the Lord so much more that I have been. I am so grateful for their love and sharing of this book. It has expanded my understanding where it was not previously. The Zwick's trust in the Lord comes through so strongly.
By Camille, Submitted on 2015-02-25
I loved this book. It had wonderful stories that I shared with my children. They were full of faith, hard work and determination to live the gospel. It made me think about my own life and the stories I have written in journals, and my desire to take the time to write more often so that I can share my own stories with my children. I also loved that it is written by normal people that have had extraordinary experiences and shared them in a way that we can all learn. They must be wonderful people.
