In Seminars & Workshops at 4:31am
This fall, I head to Mexico twice. First stop is San Miguel, an idyllic place to learn about and experience light. Staged by the Santa Fe Photo Workshops, this will be one of those weeks, working on the fly, unencumbered by lots of gear. Beautiful place, beautiful models, shot with small flash. It's called Traveling Light, Lighting Well, and the dates are Oct. 13-18, 2013, coming up soon.

Scenes from a Pre-Con
Sep 7
In News, Seminars & Workshops at 11:56am
First off, many thanks to the Kelby clan for inviting me to Vegas to teach at PhotoShop World. It was a hoot of a week. I've been doing my own "pre-con," during the last couple of gatherings of the PhotoShop tribes, and they, too, have been fun, and hopefully, informative.
This one was special, in the sense we had several astonishing performers who regularly appear in Cirque du Soleil shows in LV as our subjects. These supremely gifted artists are a magnet for the camera and the imagination. We also had the amazing Drew Moore, a character actor out of LA, who offered his considerable presence and baleful "tough guy" stare to the proceedings.
In the above, I purposely chose a tough backdrop in bright sun, with a blaring Budget Rental truck in the parking lot. In bright sun, at f16, the truck is especially obnoxious, so I showed the class how to minimize that distraction via the technique of high speed sync flash, with one SB-910, a D4 and a fast 28, shot at 1/8000th at f1.4. With that combo, the truck recedes in importance.
Performers flipped, flew and leaped for us all day long. Much of the arranging was thanks to Adam Silversmith, a Vegas based shooter, who works with the Cirque folks a great deal. Kudos to Adam for lining up spectacular subjects!
We also had a huge assist from Jan Lederman, and Jason Friedman of MacGroup USA, who charged down to Vegas with new developments in flash photography to show the class. On a couple of sets, we used Bowens flash units, which have amazing electronics, and we had a steady light set going with Limelight, the Bowens line of constant light sources. Both sets were hugely popular, and the cast and crew had access to the latest innovations in different styles of lights.
The heavy lifting of building all the sets and the light fell to Cali, and Jon Cospito in our studio, ably supported by my friend and fellow photog, MD Welch, the magnificent madman of Reno. He threw a tank of gas in his truck and bombed down out of the desert ("on the roads it was a white line nightmare") to help us out. The pix in this blog are courtesy of the aforementioned gentlemen.
Add to the mix the great location of Shine Alternative Fitness in LV, and we had an amazing day. Thanks to all the performers, participants and crew! More tk….
GPP Pops Up in London!
Jul 25
In Seminars & Workshops at 8:14am
Really looking forward to a short, wonderful trip to London this September for the GPP Pop Up with three colleagues I value and respect enormously, Greg Heisler, David Hobby, and Zack Arias. For two days, in a couple of venues, the four of us ping around the compass of shooting, lighting, adapting and surviving in this business. Greg goes high end, and opens up the door to his prodigious noodle and shows you the why and how of the way he imagines light. Zack goes DIY as only he can. I keep it small with just a couple of speed lights and ad hoc live shooting of portrait subjects I find in the audience. And David steps outside the box to talk about taking all the technique and creating an ecosystem for yourself as a photographer that you can manage and thrive in.
Best thing for me, is when I don't teach, I'm in one of these guys' classes with a notebook. And another best thing–London is one of the most amazing cites to be in, ever. I went to photo school there for six months, talked my way onto a fishing trawler and put into the North Sea (in November) for a couple weeks, shot a FedEx campaign there, and lived on the Isle of Dogs for National Geographic for 17 weeks. Yep, you guessed it–I've logged lots of pub time in England. When I lived in the East End for that stretch, all while London Docklands was being built, my local was the Tooke Arms, where the bartender would simply, without being asked, put a pint of Ruddles on the counter as soon as I walked in.
The way the GPP Pop Up is designed maximizes learning and variety, in short amount of time. Each class is focused, and different from each other. And, did I mention it's in London? It's a city I can never get enough of, and of course now, we'll be there in the wake of the entire UK being gobsmacked by a cuddly new royal. And, I'm dropping this blog now, as a reminder, as you can get an early bird discount on the whole shebang if you act before July 31. So now's the time to say, as DH mentioned over at Strobist, "Hey honey, summer's over, tickets are cheaper, the weather's great, how about London for a week? Oh, and look there's this thing about photography and it's only a couple days! Right in downtown! Just a hop, skip and a jump to Harrods!"

The MG Magnette is an automobile which was produced by MG Cars in from 1953 to 1958. The Magnette was manufactured in two build series, the ZA and ZB of 1953 through to 1958 and the Mark III and Mark IV of 1959 through to 1968, both using a modified Wolseley body and an Austin engine.
MG Cars had previously used the Magnette name on their K-type and N-type models of the 1930s.
Magnette ZA[edit]
|MG Magnette ZA
first registered June 1955
|Gerald Palmer
|1.5 L B-Series I4
|4-speed manual
|2,591 mm (102.0 in)[2]
|4,267 mm (168.0 in)[1]
|1,600 mm (63.0 in)[2]
|58 in (1,473 mm)[3]
The Magnette ZA was announced on 15 October 1953[4] and debuted at the 1953 London Motor Show. Deliveries started in March 1954. Production continued until 1956. It was the first monocoque car to bear the MG badge.[5]
The Magnette was designed by Gerald Palmer, designer of the Jowett Javelin. It was the first appearance of the new four cylinder 1.5 L (1489 cc) B-Series I4 engine with twin 1¼ inch SU carburettors delivering 60 bhp (45 kW),[3] driving the rear wheels through BMC's new four speed manual gearbox with synchromesh on the top three ratios.
Suspension was independent at the front using coil springs and had a live axle with half elliptic leaf springs at the rear. The steering was by rack and pinion. Hydraulically operated Lockheed 10 in (254 mm) drum brakes were fitted to front and rear wheels. When leaving the factory the Magnette ZA originally fitted the recently developed belted textile-braced, radial-ply Pirelli Cinturato 165HR14 tyres (CA67).
The car had leather trimmed individual front seats and rear bench seat. The dashboard and door cappings were in polished wood. Although the heater was standard, the radio was still an optional extra. Standard body colours were black, maroon, green, and grey.[citation needed]
The similar Wolseley 4/44, first sold one year earlier, used the 1250 cc engine from the MG TF. Although visually similar, the MG has lower suspension and only the front doors, boot lid and roof panels are shared.[5] The 4/44 was replaced in 1956 by the 15/50.
In 1955 The Motor magazine tested a Magnette and recorded a top speed of 79.7 mph (128.3 km/h) acceleration from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 23.1 seconds and a fuel consumption of 24.9 miles per imperial gallon (11.3 L/100 km; 20.7 mpg-US) was recorded. The test car cost £914 including taxes.[3]
Magnette ZB[edit]
|MG Magnette ZB
ZB Varitone
first registered March 1957
|1.5 L BMC B-Series I4
The ZA was replaced by the Magnette ZB announced 12 October 1956.[6] Power was increased to 64 hp (48 kW) by fitting 1½ inch carburettors, increasing the compression ratio from 7.5 to 8.3,[2] and modifying the manifold.[5] The extra power increased the top speed to 86 mph (138 km/h) and reduced the 0-60 mph time to 18.5 seconds.[1] The similar Wolseley 15/50 now shared the ZB's B-Series engine.
A semi-automatic transmission, marketed as Manumatic was outfitted as an option on 496 1957 Magnettes.[7]
A Varitone model featured larger rear window and optional two tone paintwork, using a standard Pressed Steel body shell, the rear window opening enlarged in the Morris Motors body shop, Cowley, before painting[8]
Magnette Mark III[edit]
|MG Magnette Mark III
|Body and chassis
|Morris Oxford V
Riley 4/68
Austin A55 Cambridge
Wolseley 15/60
|1.5 L B-Series I4
|2,521 mm (99.3 in)[2]
|4,521 mm (178.0 in)[1]
|1,613 mm (63.5 in)[2]
The Mark III announced 2 February 1959[9] was nearly identical to the Riley version (the 4/68) of the new Pinin Farina-designed midsize BMC saloon line. They both had truncated tail fins.
All versions (including the Austin A55 Cambridge Mark II, Morris Oxford V and Wolseley 15/60) were produced by the British Motor Corporation (BMC).
The car featured BMC's 1489 cc B type engine but, in the MG Magnette III (and its Riley sibling), performance was enhanced by fitting twin S.U. H.D.4 carburetters.[10]
The interior featured a walnut veneer facia panel, door cappings and leather upholstery as well as safety glass windows.[10]
A Mark III was tested by The Motor magazine in 1959. They recorded a top speed of 85.5 mph (137.6 km/h), acceleration from 0-60 mph (97 km/h) in 19.7 seconds and a fuel consumption of 31.4 miles per imperial gallon (9.0 L/100 km; 26.1 mpg-US). The test car cost £1012 including taxes.[11]
Magnette Mark IV[edit]
|MG Magnette Mark IV
|Body and chassis
|Morris Oxford VI
Riley 4/72
Austin A60 Cambridge
Wolseley 16/60
Siam Magnette 1622
|1.6 L B-Series I4
|2,546 mm (100.2 in)[2]
The Mark III was updated in 1961 as the Mark IV. A larger 1.6 L (1622 cc) B-Series engine, with capacity increased by increasing the bore to 76.2 mm, was fitted, and the car had a longer wheelbase and wider track. To improve handling anti-roll bars were fitted front and rear. From the outside, the Mark IV was almost identical to the Mark III, apart from the remodelled and slightly less sharply pointed tailfins, a modification shared with its Riley sibling.
Automatic transmission was offered as an option.
The model continued to be listed through till May 1968 when the manufacturers announced that production had ceased with "no immediate replacement ... contemplated".[12]
6 Magnette[edit]
On June 20, 2011, MG Motor confirmed that the saloon version of the MG 6 will carry the Magnette name for the UK and Europe.
At the media launch held at the historic Goodwood Circuit, MG Motor displayed the new 2011 MG 6 Magnette alongside examples of the earlier ZA and ZB Magnettes to reinforce the continuity of the brand.
In popular culture[edit]
In the original photo-book insert for The Who's album Quadrophenia, a ZB Magnette is the car pictured with its window being shattered and then flipped over on its roof.

HBO is renewing its Golden Globes-nominated freshman series "Enlightened," but is axing three other series.
"Hung" and "Bored to Death" will not return for a fourth season, nor will "How to Make it in America" be back for a third cycle, the network said Tuesday.
"Enlightened," which ended its first season earlier this month, last week earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Comedy or Musical Series, as well as a nomination for its star, Laura Dern. On the show, Dern plays an unstable career woman who wants to be a social activist.
HBO will premiere six new series in 2012. They include "Luck," an untitled drama series created by Aaron Sorkin, "Veep," ''Girls," ''Life's Too Short" and "Angry Boys," which debuts on New Year's Day.

The Dan Padula Memorial Fund awards two scholarships each year to high school athletes interested in health sciences, a nursing scholarship at North Country Community College and a nursing scholarship at Clinton Community College, Padula's alma mater.
The fund also sponsors health-related programs in the community, addressing issues such as smoking cessation, heart disease, childhood obesity and more.
Padula was a physicians assistant in Ticonderoga. He died in 2000.
"I met this summer with Rob Berrick(president of the Padula Fund) about the possibility of the Dan Padula Memorial Fund helping us get speakers for these topics and this is who he found," McDonald said. "We really appreciate his efforts and the help of the fund which allowed us to provide an outstanding program."
Ticonderoga will also institute a new program this fall in the elementary school, giving students fresh fruits and vegetables each day.
"As part of our wellness efforts, we wrote and received a Fresh Fruits and Vegetables grant where all students in grades K-6 will receive fresh fruits and vegetables everyday as a snack," McDonald noted.

Four New Mexico Highlands atudent-athletes have been named to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference All-Academic teams for basketball.
Whitley Coca and Briana Gholston from coach Tiffany Darling's Cowgirls made the women's all-academic lineup. Ledreece Smith and Mike Moody from coach Joe Harge's Cowboys were honored on the men's side.
New Mexico Highlands University's Angella Graham moved to No. 4 on the national rankings list for the pentathlon with her performance at the University of New Mexico Multi and Classic Track and Field meet Feb. 4-5 at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
The seven-time All American in the multi-events and jumps scored 3,543 points in the five events comprising the pentathlon (60-meter hurdles, shot put, high jump, long jump, 800 meters).
It was Graham's first multi of the season and Coach Bob DeVries found reason to be encouraged.
Las Vegas Little League is announcing open registration for the 2011 Little League baseball and softball season.
Registration is for all levels of play — tee-ball, Minors and Majors.
Early registration is encourged. Those who sign up in February will pay a $45 per player fee.
The fee goes up to $50 a player in March and $60 a player in April.
The children of Annie Vigil honored her on her 80th birthday with a lovely family gathering at the St.Gertrude's Parish Hall in Mora on Saturday, Feb. 5. The large family gathered, bringing much love, gifts, food and music and poems honoring their mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Kathy, her daughter. representing the children, presented her with a dozen red roses, one for each child she bore, and a white rose to honor her late husband, Gabino, who passed away on June 27, 2010.
It is not one world out there. So many of us who live and work in these more-or-less remote areas of New Mexico tend to forget how fortunate we are to live in such a safe and secure area.
In its annual report to the public, Alta Vista Regional Hospital officials said they have a vital, state-of-the-art facility, comparable to any big city hospital in the state.
Alta Vista Regional Hospital's new chief executive officer, Maridel Acosta, who worked in major hospitals for 11 years, said sometimes people take things for granted. For example, she pointed out the new digital mammography capabilities and the 64-slice CT scanner, while most hospitals operate with 10-slice CT scanners.
The history of Las Vegas is dramatic. The Victorian homes, adobe walls, railroad tracks and streets tell compelling stories of the Meadow City.
For Henry Rik Abeyta and Angel Roybal, the structures and places hold something different. For them, these are homes and locations for ghosts. The "ghost channeling" duo tries to capture photos of the ghosts that have been rumored to appear in the different dwellings.

Sun's Niagara 2 doubles down with twice the threads

Sun begins Sparc phase of server overhaulDecember 5, 2005
New hopes from Sun's idea factoryOctober 17, 2005
Sun plans lower-end Niagara chipSeptember 21, 2005
The current UltraSparc T1 "Niagara"-based servers can run 32 threads--eight processing cores that each can run four threads. Niagara 2 still has eight cores, but each can run eight threads, said Greg Grohoski, one of the chip's architects, speaking here at the Hot Chips conference.
"We received first silicon around the end of May, and we booted Solaris in five days. We should have systems to market in the second half of next year," Grohoski said. Though he didn't release any performance statistics, he said Niagara 2 goals include more than doubling the processing throughput and more than doubling the throughput per watt consumed.
The first Niagara was an ambitious design that Sun used to try to restore customers' shaken faith in the company's chip engineering skills. And Sun has had some success, selling $100 million worth of Niagara servers in the second quarter of 2006, only a few months after the radically different design was launched in late 2005.
Niagara is a bet that for lower-end servers, what matters most is how well the server handles many tasks running in parallel rather than how fast it completes an individual task. In contrast, chips from IBM, Intel and Advanced Micro Devices emphasize single-thread speed.
Niagara 2 takes Sun even farther down the multithreading path. Each core has two sections called thread groups that can handle four threads apiece, Grohoski said. Sun's Solaris operating system makes sure the threads are evenly distributed.
Doubling the thread capacity added less than 20 percent to the surface area of the chip, he said; chip size is a key factor in manufacturing expense and therefore in product profitability.
Because Niagara 2 is built on a more advanced manufacturing process that permits 65-nanometer circuitry elements, compared with 90 nanometers for the first Niagara, Sun can pack more features into the chip. In addition to the doubled thread ability, Niagara 2 includes 4MB of cache memory compared to 3MB for Niagara, multiple encryption engines instead of just one, a single PCI Express port, four controllers for FB-DIMM (fully buffered dual inline memory modules) memory, and dual 10-gigabit-per-second Ethernet ports.
Multiprocessor support?
Grohoski left unresolved one major question about Niagara 2, however: Will it work in configurations with more than one chip? That would be a significant change from the first Niagara, which only works in uniprocessor machines.
David Yen, who ran Sun's Sparc and Sparc server work until taking over the storage business in May, said in a 2005 interview that Sun plans Niagara 2 servers with more than one chip. With the extra transistors available, he said, "Even more functionality can be incorporated. We started making Niagara to be more scalable. That means now you can put multiple Niagara chips to build a bigger system."
But in his presentation Tuesday, Grohoski said, "This particular design has no multiprocessor capability."
That leaves the door open for multiprocessor-capable Niagara models, a possibility Sun endorsed in a statement Wednesday.
"The current Niagara 2 does not support multichip coherency," Sun said, meaning that the chip lacks mechanisms to make sure it's working well with another--for example, by synchronizing data stored in cache memories. "But we think it's a good idea to modify the coherency mechanism and enable it," Sun said.
It appears that uniprocessor servers hold Sun's initial Niagara 2 focus. "Based on Sun's Hot Chips presentation, it appears the company has concluded that 64 hardware threads will be more than enough for most low-end servers in 2007," Insight 64 analyst Nathan Brookwood said.
Indeed, 64 threads in a system arriving in the second half of 2007 would still be many more than the 16 possible with servers using four AMD or Intel quad-core chips, Brookwood said.
Faster single-thread performance
Although the focus is on aggregate thread performance, Sun is taking steps to improve single-thread performance as well, Grohoski said. For example, each core has a mathematical engine, called a floating point unit, in Niagara 2; its predecessor had only one such unit for all eight cores to share. Each core also has a "stream processing unit" that accelerates a wide variety of encryption and decryption tasks.
"We enable what I call free encryption," Grohoski said, meaning that customers no longer have to pay a performance penalty to encrypt network traffic.
Niagara 2 also includes features to improve server reliability, he said. Hardware can automatically shut off one thread, one thread group, or an entire core if too many errors are detected. "A whole physical core can be offlined, and you still have 56 threads to do work," he said.
A key part of Niagara is doing work while consuming low amounts of electrical power, a major concern for data center operators today coping with ever larger amounts of waste heat. Niagara 2 extended this energy-efficient focus, Grohoski said.
Software can control Niagara 2's power consumption by slowing it down or by shutting parts of the chip down. "Software can turn off threads or cores to manage to a thermal limit," Grohoski said.

- Seems SUN is rising up again !
- IBM,HP,DELL etc declined in server sales percentage ( See recent IDC and Gartner ), while SUN was the top vendor to post share gains. Is SUN slowly rising ? Many have predicted Sun's demise earlier ( 3 - 4 times strongly in it's lifespan ), but it came back.

- Solaris the reason behind SUN's server growth ?
- It seems the opening of Solaris did the trick. That led SUN to new customers. Many guys were mad
when Solaris was open sourced "Giving away software for free?!" . It appears that tactic has
widened their market penetration. Also adopting x86 AMD was a good move.

taken huge steps to compete (IMHO) like: x64 with support for
'doze, Linux, and OpenSolaris; Killer upgrades to SPARC; leadership
in Open Source software; advances in JAVA; and acquisition of
StorageTek. All of these agressive steps will lead to a very strong
and profiable SUN in the future, and were needed to compete
againts IBM, HP, and Dell. BTW, Sun just beat out Dell for the #3
server vendor (see IDC report), and is #1 in Unix servers (above IBM
and HP)! Buy now, while it's cheap!!!

#21961 new New feature
ForeignKey.on_delete supports database-level cascading options
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|Database layer (models, ORM)
|Triage Stage:
|Has patch:
|Needs documentation:
|Needs tests:
|Patch needs improvement:
|Easy pickings:
Per a discussion on -developers, this ticket is to document this proposed new feature.
The general idea is to allow developers to specify that the database itself, rather than Django, should implement foreign key constraints where possible. The database can be considerably more efficient, and often can avoid locking situations, in a way that the Django backend can't.
The proposal is to add a models.CASCADE_DB, models.SET_NULL_DB, models.PROTECT_DB constants. These specify that the appropriate functionality is to be implemented in the database if the database supports it; otherwise, they are implemented in the Django core as now.
Some potential design issues with proposed solutions:
- It is not an error to specify the _DB version with a database that doesn't support it. Instead, you get the non-_DB version.
- The _DB version does not fire signals; this will need to be documented.
- If a model A references a model B using CASCADE_DB, but model B references model C using regular CASCADE, a deletion of A won't cascade all the way to C. This needs to be documented. Another possibility is to make this an error condition and have model validation fail, but that seems excessive.
- The _DB version is disallowed on generic foreign keys, because that way madness lies.
- The implicit foreign key created from child to parent in model inheritance is never the _DB version. This is a shame, but there are two issues:
a) Since it's created implicitly, there's no place to put it.
b) Even if we extended the mechanism to allow manual specification of the key, deleting the parent wouldn't automatically delete the child.

- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
If 3 can be introspected for (which should be possible) we can at least implement a check for it in the new checks framework.
comment:2 Changed 17 months ago by aaugustin
- is tricky. My instinct would be to fail with an exception when the code requires something that cannot be achieved. However, I understand that pluggable apps may want to take advantage of database-level cascades, while still supporting less capable databases. Short of introducing a third value (CASCADE_DB_PROVIDED_YOU_ARE_USING_A_REAL_DATABASE), your proposal is probably the best solution.
A similar argument can be made for 3.
5 might be just another argument against MTI...
comment:3 Changed 17 months ago by charettes
- It is possible to specify the key:
class Parent(models.Model): pass class Child(Parent): parent = models.OneToOneField(Parent, parent_link=True)
comment:4 Changed 17 months ago by akaariai
I think the description has parent and child deletion mixed. Deleting the parent will delete the child (there is a key from child to parent). The problem is child deletion. In Django deleting the child cascades to the parent row, too. But there is no column from parent to child you can cascade along if you do cascades in the DB. The real problematic case:
class Related(models.Model): pass class Parent(models.Model): pass class Child(Parent): related = models.ForeignKey(Related, on_delete=DB_CASCADE)
When you delete Related instance, Child instances pointing to it will be deleted by db cascade, but the parent instances will be left alone. If you instead use standard CASCADE, then the parent instances will be deleted, too. This is surprising behaviour. It can be documented, but erroring out would be IMO better.
comment:5 Changed 17 months ago by shai
1+2 => When using CASCADE_DB, signals will fire only on backends which do not support the feature.
Similar issues, of course, for 1+3, 1+5.
I find this result quite disturbing.
Alternative: When using CASCADE_DB on a backend where the database cannot implement it, Django tries to emulate it; this is not equivalent to CASCADE.
comment:6 Changed 7 months ago by timgraham
- Version changed from 1.7-alpha-1 to master
comment:7 Changed 4 months ago by Suor
For me it actually ok that signals won't be called and some deletion propagation could be broken. It's kind of .raw() and .extra() if you mess with database you should handle all these things.
My use case is using a database with another non-django app. So I can't rely on Djangos cascading.
comment:8 Changed 4 months ago by akaariai
I won't oppose an approach where checks framework will warn about dangerous behavior.
For issue 1+2 mentioned by Shai in comment:5: we should disable signals when cascading along CASCADE_DB converted to normal CASCADE due to not having support for CASCADE by the backend.

July 1, 2015
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Coroners have released the identity of a
homeless man who was killed after being doused with gasoline and
set on fire.
John Robert McGraham was known only by his first name to residents of the mid-Wilshire neighborhood on the edge of Koreatown where police found his body. The 55-year-old died as he lived, on the street.
Police say they found McGraham, who apparently had been drenched
with gasoline and set ablaze, around 9:30 p.m. Thursday. He was
pronounced dead at the hospital.
Deputy Chief Sergio Diaz says a witness saw a man in his 20s running from the scene.
Locals set up a makeshift memorial for McGraham, who had been in
the area for at least 20 years and was often given food, clothes and spare change.

Live life and live it good.
My name is Katie, and I'm born-and-bred Minnesota girl, and with the exception of the January freeze, I love everything the about the Twin Cities. I'm an active person, looking to find someone to find adventure with. As with most people, my family and friends top the list of most important things in my life. I have a large, loud, amazing family that I love spending time with. Six nieces and nephews and more extended family than I care to count. Family time is usually chaos, but that's what keeps it interesting! I work in healthcare marketing, a job I like with people I enjoy. Outside my job, I try to spend a lot of time outside. I like to run (currently on injured reserve), hike, bike, or anything else that I may come across. I love to downhill ski, and I'm hoping to figure out cross-country skiing this winter…I also fill my weekends with concerts, new restaurants, or some activity/event I read about in the newspaper that week. I love to travel, and I've been fortunate to get overseas a number of times. Just got back from Turkey (April) and trying to figure out where to head to next. If I won the lottery, the first thing I would do is buy a one-way ticket to a world-class adventure. Bring your passport! When in Minnesota, my favorite place to be is at the cabin, sitting around the campfire with a beer in hand, laughing and spending time with some of my favorite people. A few other things you may to know…..My friends would say that I'm light hearted, loyal, easy to talk to, and have a memorable laugh and smile. I'm also extremely sarcastic—please be ready to take dish it and take it! I try to spend my time and money on experiences rather than 'stuff'. I'm always ready to try something new. I love to find fun and pleasure in the simple things. I value my friends and family beyond anything else--health, adventure, education, culture, and fun would follow. I'm looking for someone who shares my values and has a similar outlook on life; someone who is looking to start an adventure with someone new! Thanks for looking, and I hope to hear from you! Katie ps. for the sake of balance, I feel the need to include a few 'not so awesome' traits about myself: 1. I get grumpy when I'm hungry (see also: hangry) 2. I'm way too afraid of spiders for someone my age 3. My left-handedness (which I'm super proud of) can cause issues with everyday objects—aka I'm klutzy

Last night was a special night. NCAA football got underway for the 2011 campaign, and I got to watch my brother play his first game with Division III Manchester in a tough loss against 21st ranked Trine. Manchester went 2-8 last year, but only lost 13-24 to a Trine team that is on the preseason watch list.
That game reminded me why no game can ever be taken for granted in college football. Trine, heavy favorites coming into the game, did not score a legitimate touchdown against the Manchester Spartans defense. Two defensive touchdowns, and one ten yard drive accounted for the three TD's for the Thunder, while a long drive after an interception led to their lone fieldgoal.
Once Manchester put in their second string quarterback, they outscored Trine 6-0 over the final 40 minutes of the game, and did not turn the ball over. The defense was solid all game, not allowing one of Div. III's best teams any momentum, even after the game was nearly out of hand just 4 minutes in, when the Thunder held a 14-0 lead following two interceptions.
The same formula that allowed Manchester to stay close and have a chance at the end against a really good team could give South Florida the potential for an upset in South Bend Saturday.
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish open their season with a 3:30 pm kickoff Saturday at home against a South Florida team coached by Skip Holtz, the son of Irish legendary coach Lou Holtz. Skip led his team to a 8-5 mark last season, including impressive victories at Louisville and Miami (FL) and a bowl victory. Holtz's teams have always had a tendency to pull off huge upsets, and this could be another.
The Irish are also coming off a very solid defensive campaign, and have a lot of upside with a great offense and brilliant coach. Dayne Crist will start at quarterback once again, but Tommy Rees could get in if the offense struggles under Crist's leadership. Theo Riddick and Michael Floyd will lead the receiving corps, while junior Cierre Wood will look to lead the ground game after averaging over 6 yards per carry and 86 yards per game over the final 3 contests last season.
With all of his key weapons back on both sides of the ball, coach Brian Kelly has his team in a great position to win this game. Yet he must be guard to ensure his team does not come in arrogant and overlooking the Bulls, or the Irish risk a close game, or worse. Need the Irish be reminded of losses to Michigan, Navy and Tulsa last year? Or the 2009 disappointing losses to Michigan, Navy and UCONN?
No game can ever be overlooked, especially when the goal is a national title. If the Irish do not overlook South Floriday, they should win. I predict 35-17.

Hi All - I wonder if anyone can help with this request or possible hack?
As everyone knows, when using the WYSIWYG editor in a page or post, you can highlight and piece of text and you click the 'insert/edit link' and from there you get 2 options. A custom link, 'Enter the destination URL' and 'Title' and also you get the second option to link to an existing page or post that you have created.
Is there a way that you could insert or specify a 3rd option that can link to a FTP folder on my server where have have a series of folders in which I have put a number of PDFs? Ideally I would like to see the folders and files in this folder to make linking to them much quicker and easier?
Any ideas, links to plugins or general help would be great, really appreciate it!

Pinellas Park, Florida -- Four years of studying all aspects of disaster response culminated in the first "Disaster Day" exercise on Tuesday for the first senior class of the First Responders program at Pinellas Park High School.
The drill -- fully planned by the students -- involved a pretend scenario where students triaged, treated, and performed a multitude of various exercises such as search and rescue, technical decontamination, and fire fighting skills.
Local emergency response agencies such as the county's Emergency Management department and the American Red Cross were on hand as volunteers in the drill. Students directed the emergency response with volunteers and other students acting as victims.
Through the four-year experiential program the students have learned about how emergency planning, volunteerism, medical response, communications, the National Incident Management System (NIMS), homeland security, public health, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and other topics relate to the field of disaster and emergency response.
Students leave the program with Emergency Medical Responder certification and NIMS certificates.

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Brewers right-handed pitcher Josh Stinson has been claimed off waivers by Oakland. Milwaukee tried to pass Stinson through waivers to open up a spot on the 40-man roster, but the gamble didn't pay off. Right-hander Alfredo Figaro and catcher Blake Lalli both are competing for the final spots in the bullpen and on the bench, but neither are on the 40-man roster. Stinson, 25, appeared in six games in September for the Brewers, posting a 0.96 ERA in 9 13 innings. Claimed off waivers from the Mets last April, Stinson went 11-9 with a 3.16 ERA in 24 starts for Double-A Huntsville in 2012. Stinson had a 1.50 ERA in 12 spring training innings and was sent to minor league camp March 23. Follow Andrew Gruman on Twitter.

He really did, however, what he though would turn into a great defensive play, turned into a nightmare for him and a dunk that will go down as one of the sickest this NBA season. Check out what happend to Meeks on a fastbreak by Jones. What was turned in was a complete annihilation of Meeks. I am talking groin-in-the-face type dunk on Meeks. Poor Meeks. I give him credit for trying to get the foul call but Jones just crushed it on him. [follow]

It's wonderful that you've researched this so well. I have some extensive - and expensive - dental work coming up and I always dread the worry over gluten in his office. This has done a lot to reassure me.
Did your research also show dental floss to be gluten-free? A long time ago there was a discussion here about flavored and unflavored dental floss. It was surmised that Reach dental floss was safe in the unflavored varieties but not the mint or other flavors. I've stuck to the unflavored kind but still have about 4 packages of mint stuck away for my husband's use. Do you think they're safe?
Since then I've always taken my own floss to the dentist when I go in for cleanings but it would be nice not to have to worry about this.
I do not use flavored dental floss because I like the unwaxed variety and that does not come flavored. I used to use the mint type when they did make an unwaxed, flavored mint type but that was pre-diagnosis so that won't help you at all. I would stick with the unflavored, unless you want to call the company and go through that exercise of trying to verify it's status. It can be a total pain....I spent weeks calling everyone but got the information I needed and learned a lot about dental products. I have had extensive dental work done and will, according my dentist, until I am no longer on the planet!
To add to this....I go every 3 months for full cleanings, have had multiple caps done, I am in the midst of having 2 dental implants done.....you get the picture. I am sending my dentists kids through college! In all this work, I had one severe reaction and that was from the impression compound. It was the damn gums, which I verified later by eating some gluten-free baked goods I made using gums (I normally do not use them in baking). I felt crappy afterwards so do not eat them anymore. My dentist knows how careful he has to be with Celiacs....I trained him well. Go ahead and get your teeth fixed and, as long as you do the homework and make sure your dentist is on board with everything, you'll probably do fine. Teeth are important!

32 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 23-33 within 50 miles
Grad student (and nice Jewish boy) looking for a nice, intellectual, quirky girl...
I really enjoy having interesting, intense conversations with intelligent people who are curious about the world--whether about politics, Jewish cultural stuff, stories of my past (or yours), or something else. I tend to be opinionated, but I'm also happy to be shown why I'm wrong if I am. I have some strong opinions, but I usually prefer a friendly, rambling discussion to a head-to-head debate. I can be shy at first, but I'm pretty talkative and open once I get into a conversation... I like exploring new places (museums, neighborhoods, restaurants, etc.), and I also like going to see interesting movies. I'm generally not so interested in bars/clubs. I also probably wouldn't be the first to sign up for a long hike, but I can definitely admire the natural beauty of the outdoors in California. Mostly, I enjoy hanging out with and getting to know interesting people in a quieter place. I'm three years in to a Ph. D. program in research psychology (cognitive/cognitive neuroscience) at UCLA, and while there are sacrifices that come with an academic career (PhD Comics makes some good points :-) ), I'm generally really excited to be able to study interesting things for a living, especially after it took me a bit of time to figure it out and get to this point... (In general, I can sometimes take a while to actually figure out which direction I want to go in, hence the username...but once I do figure it out, I'll go all out for things...) L.A. is maybe growing on me a little, now that I've been here for a few years, although there is still a lot about this crazy city that I don't really get. But it does have its charms... Like the random, intellectually stimulating lectures/programs that occasionally come up, for one. There's also the fact that you can find so many kinds of tasty food around the city. (I haven't managed to explore enough of the restaurants around here, but I know that there are some good ones. There are also the food trucks that used to come to UCLA, many of which have really tasty food, but they sadly got replaced by something more permanent but less tasty.) Oh, and there is the weather, of course. (OK, I actually still think the weather here is kind of strange--why is there more difference in temperature within a day than between "seasons"??--but I mostly can't actually complain about it. I don't mind a little bit of cold weather, but it is nice not to have summer days with 95 degrees and 80% humidity...) I'm originally from St. Louis, and I lived on the East Coast for 8 years (Philadelphia area for 6 years, and then Connecticut for 2) until I moved out here for grad school in '09. While I can be serious at times, I do have a sillier side, too... And finally, last but not least, while I can sometimes be a bit awkward, I usually try to be a nice person, and I'm almost incapable of lying... I'm looking for someone intelligent and curious, and who really values learning and knowledge for its own sake, but who's also a good and caring person at heart. Someone who's just a little off-center (because being too "normal" can be boring)... And someone who can teach me new things--about my intellectual interests, but also about fun things that LA (and life?) has to offer.
Alumni connections , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Exploring new areas , Political interests , Watching sports
I don't believe in astrology
I'm not sure about specific places in LA, although I do like anyplace with pretty architecture and/or interesting history. Further afield, I've been to Central/Eastern Europe a couple of times, and it's a very interesting part of the world.
Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, PA
TV shows: Rachel Maddow, House, Monk, Grimm, Law and Order, and others... Food: Indian, Thai, Jewish delis, Italian, Greek. Being more specific, the chocolate chip rugelach at Canter's Deli is great.
I'm a big fan of NPR, and also a news junkie, as well as a baseball fan (go Cardinals!), so when I don't have anything better going on, I'll often be at home listening to/reading about political news or sports. But exploring the city is also fun...
I probably spend too much time reading about politics in the NY Times, the New Republic, etc. It gets frustrating at times, but it also ends up being a fascinating real-life drama. I also really enjoyed the Steve Jobs biography.

Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
I am seeing a mix of starting courses. Full brick, Full brick with a 20 degree angle cut, Full brick no angle, 3 half brick stack with a wedge on top, a single half brick stack. etc....
I am leaning toward a full soldier course but keep reading that this creates a weaker dome. For all the engineering types out there, is this true?
What is the best way to start my first course. BTW, I will have my floor inside the soldier course. Full course with an angle cut or half brick course.
Let the debate begin! :D
Thanks for the help.
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
If I had do-overs, I'd go with dmun's advice and lay a sailor course from the git go!
A sailor course is easier, with none of the force issues, AND it makes it easier to have the brick ends of the next course right in the middle of the lower bricks. That makes building the dome easier and will likely have fewer cracks in the dome in the end. :)
No question in my mind! Wish I had listened. You can make the first two or three rings vertical if you want the outer walls to allow working close to the edge of the oven floor, then begin your taper to the top.
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
There are quite a few threads on arch geometry. Bottom line is that a full-brick soldier places the thrust of the arch outside its optimal position. In a large structure, tensioning chains or buttressing would be needed. That said, there a plenty of ovens built with a full soldier course that are still standing. If you have concerns, go with the half soldiers so you don't have to worry about it. It's only a little more work, and you'll have plenty of it to do.
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
Sailor course? I never heard of that term before. I am assuming you mean something like 3 courses of half bricks layed flat then proceeding with a wedge and begin the curvature of the dome?
Something like Kebwi 36" in Seattle build?
Thanks for the response.
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
There are some strange masonry terms. A brick laid vertically with the "stretcher" (thin side) facing outward is a "soldier." That's what you typically see for the first course on a Pompeii oven. A brick laid vertically with the wide side exposed is a "sailor." So a "sailor" is really just a soldier spun 90 degrees. A "header" is a brick laid on the long, wide side with the shorter, narrow side facing outward. A "rowlock" or "bull header" is a brick laid on the long, narrow side with the small side exposed. A "shiner" is a brick laid on the long, narrow side with the broad side exposed.
The masons here can correct me, but I think what Kebwi has in his oven is really a course of "headers" rather than "soldiers" or "sailors." The "soldier course" in Pompeii parlance is often used to mean the first course of dome bricks.
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
Whatever you call it....I wish I had put the big side down with the face cut inside, like your picture illustrates. You can taper the bricks, but that is certainly optional. :)
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
I started with a soldier course because it was the conventional (and popular) way to go. I wasn't happy with the joints so I tore them all out and went with horizontal bricks (sailors) throughout. THis is documented in my thread, here:
The benefits of a horizontal course #1 are:
1. You can can still create any interior dome profile you want (ie: first three or four courses can be built perfectly vertical)
2. You do not subject your dome to the side thrust as outlined by azatty
3. Each course benefits from gravity, making mortaring easier
4. Depending on your soldier height and angle, you may use fewer bricks
5. Keeping a perfectly staggered bond is easier and makes the dome entirely consistent.
Soldiers may make for a faster-built dome, but this wasn't a factor for me. I was looking to put together a precision dome that I could stand to look at over the years and didn't care how long it initially took me since I only have (get) to do it once. If I build a second oven, I'm with Lee, and would build it the same way - with sailors.
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?

I am trying to decide the proper distance from center of oven to inside edge of the inner arch opening. I am building a 36" oven and an 18" width for inner arch. The inner arch opening can be "pushed into" the oven as close as 13.5" from the center of oven or "pushed out" so far as to not lose any of the actual floor area (see the attached 37.5 plan) So, in my 36" oven that gives me a variance of as close as 13.5" from center to 18" from center.
Is there an optimal distance from center?
Also, it seems reasonable that the vent funnel area should be at least as wide as the flue. I have drawn a 7.5" depth of funnel area for a 6" flue. Is this too much? I cant find a definite answer in the forum or plans. Many suggest to use an 8" flue for a 36" oven instead of the plan recommended 6".
I have attached two jpeg drawings to hopefully demonstrate my variances for the inner arch placement.
Bricks, tiles, and mortar are being delivered today. Thanks for any and all advice on this.:confused:
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
I'll start with your original question. What type of oven do you plan to build? For a hemispherical oven I've personally never seen much benefit to a vertical course. For a low dome oven a tall soldier is basically a must, as is some form of structural member to support the outward thrust.
As for vent depth, it's gonna be easier to build your transition no matter how you do if the depth is the same as your flue. I agree with going as wide as the door, on my new oven my vent opening is actually wider then the door.
Finally, I would do a sketch intersecting the entry arch with the dome profile before deciding where to put it. It has been discussed before and I think the general agreement would be that is more crucial then distance from the center of the oven. The better your arch fits into the dome profile the easier it will be to build.
Re: Soldier Course...Full Brick? Half Brick?
My two cents, I have no problem with my soldier course and my floor is inside my walls. Although I did buttress the exterior so I have no question about my stability.
I like having a flat wall section along the soldiers it makes raking out the coals easier but like I said it's just my two cents.

I had been out for about 6 hours in the crappy weather so I figured I would just make my way home back along Styx Rd...
Every time I pass the power lines at this end of Styx Rd I get the urge to ride up the ridiculously steep track that goes up the hill under the lines (198km to 201km on the route)... I've passed it about a dozen times in the last year or so and every time I think to myself I HAVE to ride that one day!:
One trip on the Dominator I poked around to try and find a way in but one track was over grown, and the other was gated... I don't have a decent photo looking up so I'll use one that was on Google Earth...
Photos do it no justice!
It's about as steep as they come, according to the map the top part rises 100m in altitude in a 322m stretch:
Anyway... I went up the access track to have another look at the gate:
To my amusement it was broken, I chuckled to myself and continued on to do this monster hill-climb so it could be crossed off my bucket list
It turned out to be really easy, the hump on the Tenere seat everyone complains about makes it the perfect beast for climbing hills, you don't have to put any effort into staying forward on the seat...
At the top I found another gate:
No drama, I was just happy to get this far... There was a bit of a muddy track around the gate but with the wet weather I gave it a miss, I'll try to get a key for the gates around here one day and explore this area with permission...
The view down the hill:
Styx Rd, where I started, runs left to right across at the bottom, the tracks heading off into the distance were ones I explored earlier in the day:
Crawled my way back down very slowly, this wasn't a track I wanted to lose traction on and start sliding, it was no drama and we made it back down safely ...
8 min video, up and back down, first 1min is from styx Rd around to the gate at the bottom of the hill:
(the wide angle lens on the GoPro makes everything look flat)
It made my day! VERY exhilarating!
To be continued... .. .

Have you heard of Al Merrick? If you're a surfer and you haven't, then you definitely should. Mr. Merrick is responsible for designing some of the most innovative surfboards on the market today. In fact, he's arguably become the most renowned shaper of surfboards, on planet Earth. If you choose one of the quality channel islands surfboards available, then you'll be buying one of the most state-of-the-art boards on the market. In fact, many of the world's top surfers have purchased at least one surfboard that's been shaped by Merrick.
Although Al Merrick was born in New Jersey, his family relocated to Florida, and then one of the surfing Meccas of the world: sunny California. Merrick actually began surfing when he was 10 years old, so his expertise and innovation in shaping surfboards have their roots in his passion for surfing.
Al attended San Dieguito High School (along with legendary surfer Rob Machado). During his high school years, Mr. Merrick was sponsored by Surfboards Hawaii, and actually helped to shape a noserider surfboard. After graduating from San Dieguito, Merrick began attending Palomar College. However, he soon realized that college wasn't his thing.
The surfboard shaper John Price was Merrick's hero, and the former's surfboards provided the inspiration for the latter to begin shaping surfboards full-time. Before he created channel islands surfboards, the industry's shift from longboards to shortboards motivated Al to shape boards.
An important event in Merrick's life happened in 1965. That's when he relocated to Santa Barbara, CA. There, he was present when George Greenough and Bob McTavish tested some revolutionary surfboards for several weeks. This event further inspired Merrick to dedicate his life to shaping surfboards.
It's important to note that Al was still relatively unknown in the world of surfboard shaping. This was quite ironic, since in 1977 Shaun Tomson won the world title of surfing, on surfboards that Al Merrick had shaped. However, that would soon change. The surfer Tom Curren became somewhat of a prodigy of Merrick's. Curren became a professional surfer in 1982. Soon afterwards, Merrick's surfboard company,channel islands surfboards was launched.
The popularity of surfboards from Channel Islands paralleled the fame and success of Curren. Curren became an idol for surfers everywhere, as they wanted to imitate his signature moves. And not only did they want to copy his surfing style, but they also insisted on using the same equipment - surfboards from Channel Islands.
As they say, the rest is history. Other big-time surfers such as Taylor Knox, Kelly Slater, and Lisa Anderson would exclusively ride Merrick-shaped boards. Within time, it seemed like everybody who was anybody in the surfing world was riding a board that Merrick had shaped.
Since then, Merrick's company has been on the cutting edge of surfboards. He began mass-producing them in the 1990s. And today, he uses computers to shape virtually all of his boards. This makes the shaping process more efficient and precise. But the essence of the versatile and quality boards from Channel Islands continues to be the innovation from Merrick himself. With Al's son overseeing the production of the company's surfboards, the future of Channel Islands looks bright for the next generation of surfers.

The 2009 Domados Tobiano malbec/merlot reserve is my kind of wine! You get firm tannic textures, huge black and blue fruits and a lovely mouth feel. The aromatics are humid, deep and satisfying. Domados is a quality winery in Uco Valley, located in the La Consulta district of Argentina's Mendoza province. People often think Mendoza is a tiny place, but it's huge. La Consulta is one of the prime sub regions. The Tobiano blend is off the charts, and it's only Domados' second quality level. Serve with good friends and big foods. Costs about $25.
