Be young, Be dope, Be proud.
Well, here goes nothin'... I'm a sarcastic, fun-loving, wear my heart on my sleeve kind of girl. I would potentially like to find someone with similar qualities to share life experiences with. It would be awesome to meet someone interested in exploring our surroundings and not afraid to take risks, yet not afraid to be themselves and know how to be silly and fun without any effort. I am a pretty busy person and tend to be on the go 24/7. I work full time for an energy management/HVAC company and also do hair on the side. Starting this past year, I also started dedicating a lot of my time to the gym in an effort to get back in shape. I've been pretty successful so far, so having support in that aspect is a must as well. In my free time, I spend a lot of time with my friends and family. I'm usually the one out of the group either making the plans or anxious to do something. I enjoy..... Boating Camping Concerts Movies Sporting events Shopping Breweries Trying new restaurants Playing cards and the list could go on... I'm pretty witty, so I need someone who can keep up and knows how to give it back (in a nice way of course.) I'm honestly pretty easy going, but I know what I want at the same time. I'm looking for someone who's smart, self driven, motivated and has goals set for their future in some way, shape or form. I have a lot of close friends and family who enjoy going out and doing things in groups, so I'm looking for someone who isn't afraid to socialize and is able to take the time to step out of the real world and just let loose. Having a big heart is a total bonus as well. Being a tough guy is only hott on the big screen and/or, let's be honest, if I'm being robbed or assaulted. No one wants the guy no one can stand to be around because he's always trying to one up someone else. I'd just prefer to see you holding the door for an elderly or going to shoot some hoops with some little ones or even planning a surprise romantic date. I love a good sense of humor too, so don't be afraid of holding back the jokes....annnnd while we're at it, I guess I'll throw in my biggest pet peeve... I do not like for a man to call me dude, man, bro, etc... Overall I'm pretty laid back, just looking to share some excitement, adventures and memories with someone in this game called "life." ♡

This thank you card features my dad's '42 Chevy Super Deluxe that we drove away in after our wedding. I used the same recycled paper and Deming EP font across the other wedding pieces and really wish I had the time to letterpress this like the invites/save-the-dates. I'll have to settle for the font/paper for continuity.

Young couple's first baby, Collier's first in 2013
About a half-hour after his parent's ginger ale New Year's toast, Levi Charles Marais arrived at NCH Birth Place in North Naples, making him Collier County's first baby of 2013.
Levi, the first child for 23-year-old Rachel and Roger Marais, 25, of Golden Gate Estates, was delivered at 12:35 a.m. Tuesday, a week after his Christmas due date — and nearly an hour before Lee County's first baby. Levi weighed 8 pounds, 2-ounces and was 21 inches long.
"We did shots of ginger ale for New Year's because they thought he was going to be the first baby of the year," Roger Marais, a server at Capital Grille in Mercato in North Naples, said of his wife, nurses and staff. "As soon as he came out, they cleaned him and gave him a New Year's tiara and he was good to go."
"It's surreal. It really is. Honestly, it's the best feeling other than our wedding," he added. "I'm ecstatic, elated — and terrified."
Not realizing he could stretch out yet, Levi lay quietly Tuesday afternoon in his mother's arms, clad in a blue one-piece sleeper with multicolored bootees and 2013 hat knitted by hospital volunteers. Around him, the tumult of 15 family members, including his 2-month-old cousin, Troy Gabriel Sholly, filled the spacious room.
"He's very calm," said Melissa Artman, a registered nurse assigned to the couple.
Rachel Marais looked down at her son, his eyes clenched shut, his arms and legs curled and his hands balled up, not fully peeking out of his sleeper.
"Are you sure you were inside of me?" Rachel Marais asked him, noting, "He's not fussy at all."
Levi came 1½ years after their wedding. The couple met at Capital Grille. Marais served Rachel Malo and her date. Two weeks later, he saw the cosmetologist, again and she was single.
"So I asked her out and one thing led to another," said Marais, who just graduated from Edison College with a degree in applied science supervision, but hopes for a management job at Capital Grille, where he's worked eight years.
Now she plans to be a stay at home mother because she comes from a big family and hopes for the same. They've prepared for Levi's future by setting up a Florida prepaid college fund.
"As soon as we found out we were pregnant, we started a college fund. My dad did it for us, so I wanted to do it for our kids," he said of himself and his sister, Trudi Sholly, whose baby was born a few rooms away on Oct. 22, two weeks early.
On nearby tables, large gift baskets provided by nurses and hospital staff bulged with toys and baby necessities as children played and the adults took turns holding Levi.
"They treated us like royalty all night," Roger Malais said as his wife agreed.
"They've really made this wonderful for us," she said as she rested in bed. "This is definitely a one-time experience. It's the best New Year's we'll ever have."
Lee County's first baby was born at Gulf Coast Medical Center in Fort Myers. Mazil Izaira Morales, the first child for Sammy and Cynthia Morales of Lehigh Acres, arrived at 1:32 a.m. She weighed 7-pounds, 2 ounces and was 20½ inches long.
"Oh my God, it's an incredibly amazing, mind-blowing experience," said Sammy Morales, an installer for Cornerstone Tile and Marble. "She's quiet in my arms. She definitely likes daddy."

Oxford Residency a Unique Learning Experience for Executive MBA Class
In March the EMBA Class 2011 embarked on a one-week residency at Mansfield College at Oxford University, one of the world's premier academic institutions. Mansfield is a young college in Oxford terms, about one hundred and twenty five years old.
The Oxford Residency provides the opportunity for Mason Executive MBA students to learn about doing business in the European Union (EU) and includes presentations by Oxford faculty, senior managers and directors, and discussions with EU government officials. Students also spent time in London at EU regulatory agencies and multinational corporations.
"No matter how good the classroom curriculum, there's nothing like the first-hand experience of visiting a different country and experiencing different ways to conduct business," says Roy Hinton, Associate Dean of Executive Programs at George Mason University School of Business. "Embracing another culture means respecting others' viewpoints and working within the boundaries of those cultures."
The Oxford residency is one of four extended residencies in which all Executive MBA students participate. In addition to Oxford, students spend time in New York, Washington, D.C., and one other global residency that rotates among countries in Asia, Europe, and South America.

Football season is just around the corner, but right now, one NFL team is caught in the middle of a heated debate.
The Washington Redskins' name has come under fire as a racial slur and many people say the team's nickname should be changed. Others, including the team's owner, argue it is not offensive and call it a badge of honor.
But how do people in our area feel? The Rochester Business Journal conducted a snap poll among its readers. To see how the votes broke down, pick up a copy of the Rochester Business Journal on newsstands Friday.

Ginger Stuffed Baked Apples
|Baking apples
|4 Large (Such As Rome Beauty)
|2 Ounce, chopped
|3 Tablespoon
|1 Tablespoon, shredded
|Powdered ginger
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Ground cinnamon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Egg yolk
|Brown sugar
|2 Tablespoon (Light Or Dark)
|1 Tablespoon, softened
1. Adjust a shelf to the top third of the oven and preheat to 375°.
2. Squeeze the lemon half; you will need 2 teaspoons of the juice. Cut the lemon half in two; reserve for rubbing the apples.
3. Cut off about 1/2 inch from the top of each apple and with a paring knife, pare off about 1/2 inch of skin from around the top of each apple. Rub the cut surfaces with lemon. With a paring knife and spoon, cut out the cores to make room for the stuffing. Rub all the cut surfaces with the lemon. Stand the apples upright in an 8-inch square baking pan.
4. In a food processor, combine 1/3 cup of the walnuts, the sugar, fresh ginger, powdered ginger, cinnamon and egg yolk. Process to finely grind the nuts. Spoon the filling into the center of each apple, dividing equally. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and butter. Press it onto the cut surfaces of the apples. Sprinkle the tops with the reserved walnuts. Pour 1/2 cup water into the pan around the apples. Bake until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving hot or warm.

The Central Florida region
If you want an exciting, fun-packed, unforgettable holiday Orlando is a pretty good destination to choose! The main attraction in Orlando is of course Walt Disney World, there is no other place like it on earth.
Walt Disney World is amazing and is guaranteed to make your holiday an unforgettable experience for kids and big kids alike!
There are six theme parks within Walt Disney World- The Magic Kingdom with its seven lands of adventure; Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom; Epcot Centre which combines technology and fun. Then there are two amazing waterparks- Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon. Within all of the parks you will find endless places to eat, shop and be entertained.
Outside of Walt Disney World Orlando has lots more to offer. The International Drive area has an incredible 150-plus restaurants to choose from and lots of themed bars and live shows that are great for all the family. Close to International Drive you will also find the Premium Outlet Mall which is great for shopaholics!
Lake Buena Vista found at the gates to Walt Disney World also offers a massive choice of shops, restaurants and activities for you to try.
A little further away from Walt Disney and all its attractions you'll find Kissimmee which is a little more representative of real Floridian life. It has a more chilled out atmosphere as its a little further away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks but it still has lots of places to eat, drink and shop. This is a great place to go and chill out after a hard day of riding white knuckle rides!
If roller-coasters and waterparks are not your idea of fun Orlando is still an amazing place to holiday. There are several world class golf courses in the area and numerous activities for you to try from horse riding to water skiing. You're only around an hour from the Gulf coast if you fancy a trip to the beach or a drive along the coast. Whatever you choose to do during your stay one thing is for sure, you'll never be bored in Orlando!
Kissimee is a great option if you want to be close to all the attractions of Disney and Universal but far away enough to be able to chill out after a hard days sightseeing. Kissimmee is a laid-back town with authentic wood-fronted shops and tree-lined streets.
There are several large shopping malls on Kissimees main street and if you want something a little different head for Old Town Mall which recreates a 19th century village complete with a spooky haunted house and an antique fairground!
Kissimmee has numerous outdoor activities on offer. You can go horse riding, fishing, or sailing on one of the many lakes. Another popular attraction enjoyed by many tourists is the airboat safari where you can fly along the waterways and take in the beautful surroundings, full of wildlife.
Veranda Palms is located just off Highway 192 at the end of seven dwarfs lane and ideally located for literally dozens of bars and restaurants from steak houses to Pizzas and with the Wallmart and Target supermarkets within a very short drive. It is also just a short stroll away from the wonderful Shingle Creek Nature Reserve with footpaths, lakes and children's play areas.

"Excellent , pleasant and very convenient ."
We enjoyed 8 wonderful days at Villa Nirvana. We were an extended family, a groop of 8 people including teenagers and a baby.
All of us wish to emphasize that the time we spent at the villa was wonderful. Every thing in the villa is beautiful and of high standard.
The villa is new and located in a gated community that is away (but not far) from the main streets - a safe location for a family vacation specially with kids. The location is near the theme parks and all the attraction Orlando has to offer. There are plenty of restaurants and a large supermarket close by. Everything seems to be in the neighborhood.
The kitchen is well equipped to cook for a larger group, with plenty of room to eat.
The pool is excellent, very clean and big enough to fit few people without getting crowded.
In the main leaving room there is a 3D Flat screen TV, stereo system, blu-ray player and an XBox with Kinect. There are two more flat screens TV in the bedrooms.
The owner - Mr. Thor Berentsen is very nice and made sure our holiday will be perfect.
We'll recommend this wonderful villa to our friends .

"This house is absolutely top-notch and I highly recommend!!"
We found this home searching through trip advisor and decided to book it. Are we ever glad we did. We have been to WDW several times and always stayed on Disney property, but we never will again. This house has everything you need and want to enjoy your vacation and more...The house is new, clean, luxurious, amazing furnishings, very spacious and very close to WDW. Everything you need for a comfortable family vacation is in there. We really loved everything about it, the pool was the highlight for the family. We could leave the theme parks at lunch when the sun was burning and go home to relax and cool off in the pool. This house has an amazing huge Samsung 3D Flat screen TV, stereo system, blu-ray player and an XBox with Kinect plus two more flat screens in the other bedrooms. Thor, the owner is very nice and made sure our holiday was perfect! If you want to rent a luxury home close to WDW for your vacation, book Villa Nirvana! Do not hesitate, you'll be glad you did because it really is amazing!!!
Thanks Thor! We'll be back.

56: Joe Dimaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sportsby Kostya Kennedy
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Winner of the 2011 CASEY Award from Spitball Magazine Seventy baseball seasons ago, on a May afternoon at Yankee Stadium, Joe DiMaggio lined a hard single to leftfield. It was the quiet beginning to the most resonant baseball achievement of all time. Starting that day, the vaunted Yankee centerfielder kept on hitting-at least one hit in game after game after game.
In the summer of 1941, as Nazi forces moved relentlessly across Europe and young American men were drafted by the millions, it seemed only a matter of time before the U.S. went to war. The nation was apprehensive. Yet for two months in that tense summer, America was captivated by DiMaggio's astonishing hitting streak. In 56, Kostya Kennedy tells the remarkable story of how the streak found its way into countless lives, from the Italian kitchens of Newark to the playgrounds of Queens to the San Francisco streets of North Beach; from the Oval Office of FDR to the Upper West Side apartment where Joe's first wife, Dorothy, the movie starlet, was expecting a child. In this crisp, evocative narrative Joe DiMaggio emerges in a previously unseen light, a 26-year-old on the cusp of becoming an icon. He comes alive-a driven ballplayer, a mercurial star and a conflicted husband-as the tension and the scrutiny upon him build with each passing day.
DiMaggio's achievement lives on as the greatest of sports records. Alongside the story of DiMaggio's dramatic quest, Kennedy deftly examines the peculiar nature of hitting streaks and with an incisive, modern-day perspective gets inside the number itself, as its sheer improbability heightens both the math and the magic of 56 games in a row.
"Sports Illustrated senior editor Kennedy recreates the triumph of Joe DiMaggio's improbable 56-game hitting streak during the anxious summer of 1941. With the United States marching toward war, and young men (including professional ball players) being drafted by the millions, the country needed something to cheer about. The New York Yankees centerfielder, then in his fifth season, delivered by setting a record that many experts say will stand forever. As Kennedy writes in one of five compelling sidebars that provide a modern-day perspective on the feat, only nine players in Major League history have run off hitting streaks of more than 35 games in a season. DiMaggio seemed an unlikely candidate as the 1941 season opened. In fact, 56 begins with the slugger in a slump. But then came the hits, and as the streak extended into the twenties, most Americans became enthralled. Kennedy recaps those 56 games and brilliantly depicts an era free of 24-hour-news cycles and social networks, a time when newspapers and the radio delivered information first. Through meticulous research and interviews, he takes readers beyond the field. From the private world inhabited only by DiMaggio and his new bride to Newark barbershops, the playgrounds of Queens, and the streets of DiMaggio's hometown, San Francisco, Kennedy humanizes an immortal accomplishment.

My MPG Testing. 18.5 avg to 22.3 avg
Since I wrote the above (in another thread), I've made a couple more changes. I put a vararam intake on there and tested a few of the suggestions on here. My test run was to/from work which is 71 miles (r/t) consisting of uphill/downhill most of the way. In California, there aren't too many "flat" roads. Summing it up:
Stock = 18.5 avg
Stock w/ Bullydog = 20.6 mpg
Vararam w/ Bullydog = 19.5 mpg (ya, it got worse.. I'll explain below)
Vararam w/ Bullydog & MDS off (6th gear) = 21.7 mpg
Vararam w/ Bullydog, MDS off and running Premium fuel (91 oct) = 22.3 mpg!!!! :Wow1:
My mileage went down when I put the Vararam on there but for good reason. With a "Cold air Intake" it should suck in colder air. I modified my Vararam front to get as much cold air as possible. It worked.. but the IAT is now sensing colder air and richening up the mixture. Yes, that should be more power too, but at this point I'm looking for better mileage. Once I put the Premium gas in, and turning off MDS, the power gain took over the slight increase in mixture. I think the mileage went up with the MDS off is because the road is constantly going uphill/downhill so the truck never 'labors' to go up a hill and then kick-down a gear. I would bet that if it were flat roads, it would be better with MDS on.
If you do the math, an increase of 4 mpg will pay for the Bullydog and Vararam in about a year.
Very impressive. Great post.
Very cool. It's good to know there's a way to maintain MPGs without MDS, even if it is just highway. Coasting and using MDS is the only way I stay above 18 with my urban work commute.
Not when you drive less than 5k / yr. :smileup:
How do you turn your MDS off only in 6th gear?
I didn't. I put it in 5th. I believe you can turn off the MDS with the bullydog, but I haven't tried it.
I now have very similar setup and really hope to see these numbers or even better on my 460 mile each way trip to obx next month.

FORT MYERS, Florida ��A Florida police officer went above and beyond the call of duty to help a wheelchair bound man stranded in a pounding rain storm, and it was all caught on a dashboard camera.
Officer Gil Benitez works the night beat. On the night of Thursday, Aug. 14, around 8:30 p.m. he received an unusual call of a man in a wheelchair stuck in the rain.
"It was raining so hard, I couldn't even see the stop sign" Benitez said.
He found Michael Arnold sitting in his electric wheel chair on the side of the road.
"The wind picked up like crazy" Arnold said. "I got to the end of the street and everything just stopped on me."
Arnold was just a block away from his home.
Within seconds of Benitez arriving to help Arnold, lightning struck near the two. After checking himself, he finished the job he started.

New York Giants linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka took exception to Jerry Jones saying the Cowboys "would beat the Giants asses."
NJ.com reports that this morning he responded and fired back.
On WFAN's "Boomer and Carton" morning show Kiwanuka stated.
"He should. I mean, the Giants have been whupping his ass for a long time."
"It's gotta be tough on the outside looking in on all of these championships lately," Kiwanuka continued. "That's the feeling I feel like everybody in the league has and everybody should have because we're here on top and everybody should be wanting to knock you off."
The two teams will meet for the first time this season in less than a week.
The time for talk is about over.

3A Baseball: O'Dea Ends North Kitsap's Season With a 7-1 Loss
By Nathan Joyce
The O'Dea Fighting Irish sent a pitcher out to the mound who wasn't going to overpower anybody.
It was the perfect strategy.
Eric Moberly threw a complete-game three-hitter Saturday as O'Dea (15-7) eliminated the North Kitsap Vikings (15-6) from the Class 3A state baseball playoffs 7-1 at Dream Field at Skagit Valley College.
"We're not going to win if we get just three hits," NK coach Jeff Weible said. "They knew we were a pretty good fastball-hitting team, so they started a guy who ... wasn't overpowering."
Moberly struck out five and didn't walk anybody.
"We all hit the ball, just at some one," NK right fielder Daniel Jewett said. "We all hit it hard."
"He changed up locations and changed speeds really well," O'Dea coach Mike Doyle Jr. said. "Location was the key."
O'Dea jumped out to a big lead in the first inning. The leadoff batter got on with an error. With two outs, Gabe Lee hit a three-run homer, followed by a Paul Sitkowski double and two singles. When it was over the Irish had four runs on the board, all unearned off of starter Andy Smith.
NK's scored its only run in the third inning when Trevor Bennett hit a solo home run.
O'Dea put the game out of reach with a three-run sixth inning. Lee hit an RBI double and Sitkowski had a two-run single.
Lee went 3-for-4 with four RBI, and Sitkowski went 3-for-4 with thee RBI.
"We just didn't play up to our level of baseball," Weible said. "Obviously, that's a tough time to do that."
NK will lose just three starters to graduation: Smith, first baseman Kevin Stringer and designated hitter Jeremy Aske.
O'Dea 7, North Kitsap 1
O'Dea 400 003 0—7 10 0
North Kitsap 001 000 0—1 3 3
Eric Moberly and John Buhrman; Andy Smith, Adam Abrahamsen (7) and Nick Benish. W—Moberly. L—Smith (7-1).

My memory may be faulty, but I think when the 78 Yankees were at their 14-game out low point, they were in 4th place in the AL East.

After blowing a two-goal lead in a 7-4 loss to Buffalo that was riddled with defensive miscues, Bruins head coach Claude Julien knew his team needed to respond against a Maple Leafs squad that Boston has dominated in recent years. The B's did just that, beating Toronto for a seventh straight time to improve their record to 6-1-1 on the season. "I thought our guys, for the fourth game in six nights, competed really hard," Julien said. "Our backcheck was a lot better, which resulted in us not giving up any goals, which was something we had to rectify from the other night. I'm really proud of the guys and the way they've handled this week." Also making a statement was forward Chris Bourque, who scored Saturday's only goal after he was a healthy scratch for the loss to the Sabres. See Julien's full interview with NESN's Naoko Funayama in the video above.

In this course, photographer and author Ben Long details the features, controls, and options in the Canon 5D Mark III digital SLR. The course begins with an overview of what a digital SLR is and takes a tour of the basic camera components. Ben then discusses the basic camera operation: changing lenses, navigating the menus, shooting in automatic mode, reviewing and managing photos on the 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 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.
Your camera has an autofocus feature, and for most of your shots, it will provide faster, more accurate focus than you'll ever achieve using manual focus. However, autofocus is not completely foolproof. You still have to use it properly to get good results, and you can learn everything you need to know about how to get good results with autofocus in my Foundations of Photography: Exposure course. For right now, there are some very simple things that you need to know about autofocus. First of all, your lens can be switched between Auto focus, and Manual focus.
There's a switch right here on the side that says AF, and MF. You want to be sure that it's set on AF for autofocus to work. We are in Scene Intelligent Auto mode, which limits our autofocus choices, and that's fine for right now, because there are some basic things that you really need to spend some time learning. Using autofocus is very simple. You frame your shot, and then you half-press your shutter button. Now, there is a halfway spot as you press the Shutter button down, and when you get there, the camera will go through its autofocus process. It autofocuses, and then once it's achieved focus, it beeps.
You'll also see, in the viewfinder, a little circle light up that shows that autofocus is locked, and you'll see a bunch of squares appear on your image. Don't worry about those squares right now. The point I want to make is, now I've got focus. I have half-pressed my shutter button, and my image is in focus. Now I press it the rest of the way, and the camera takes my shot. It is critical that you go through this pre-focusing step; this process of half-pressing the shutter button. A lot of times I have students come up to me, and say, well, you know, my camera is no good, because when I press the shutter button down, it doesn't take the picture right away, and I miss my shots.
Well, that's because if you just mash the button down all the way, the camera has to autofocus, it has to meter, it has to calculate white balance, it has do some other things, and those things take time. So it goes through all those calculations, and then when it's ready, it takes the shot. So you might miss the moment while it's doing all that. If you half-press, then it gets the chance to do all those things, and tell you that it's ready. Then when you press it, you get an instant result. This is absolutely how you have to use autofocus, and this is true on any autofocus camera, not just the Mark III.
This must become second nature to you. There's no way to cheat this, or think, well yea, yea, I can work differently. No, you can't. This has to just become a habit that any time you're framing a shot, you half-press the button to get the camera ready. Otherwise your camera is going to go slow, and you're going to miss shots. Now let's go back to those dots that appeared in the viewfinder. When you focus, what you're actually doing is calculating a distance to your subject, and setting your lens to focus at that distance. When I half-press the shutter button, inside the viewfinder, I get that focus confirmation light, and I get those dots all over my image; those squares.
Those squares are showing everything in the image that will be in focus, and if you pay attention to them, all the dots are probably in the same plane. So in this case, I am going to see dots on the camera. If there were other things in other parts of the image that were at the same distance those would have focus point squares on them also. The important thing for you to do at this point is make sure that squares are lit up over your subject. If they're actually on the subject's elbow, or on something behind the subject, then you have a problem. Your camera has not picked the right thing. It's not focused properly.
So the autofocus habits that you need to develop are making sure you always half-press the button to pre-focus, and then if you're in a mode where you're seeing lots of focus points, you need to make sure that some of those little focus point squares are in the right place. Your 5D Mark III has several different focus modes. When you're in Auto mode, when you're an Intelligent Auto mode on the camera, the focus mode is set to AI focus. Now, we'll be looking at all these different focus modes in more detail later. AI Focus is a good general purpose focus mode.
In this mode, the camera tries to determine if your subject is moving, and if it is, then it will track it, and keep it in focus. Now, in this case, I have a non-moving subject, so it doesn't have to do that; it just lights up the appropriate focus squares. If you half-press the shutter button, and you don't see the autofocus light, but you hear a persistent soft beeping, that means that the camera has decided your subject is moving, and it's tracking it. You can actually go ahead and mash that button down the rest of the way to take the shot, and you're just never going to get an actual lock, and an actual focus confirmation light, but your subject should be in focus if the camera has done its job properly.
When I say mash down, I don't mean mash down; obviously, you don't want to shake the camera. It's a process of half-pressing the button, and then giving it a gentle squeeze to take the picture without shaking the camera too much. Your Mark III has very sophisticated autofocus options. We're going to be returning to autofocus in great detail later in this course. For now, you've just really got to work on getting the habit of half-pressing, and paying attention to the focus confirmation light, and the autofocus squares that light up to show where your camera has chosen to focus.

Complete "Ring" cycles have been a feature of the recording industry for some 50 years, first as a platform for the star conductor and lately for the star director. There are fast "Rings," profound "Rings," Eurotrash "Rings," even your father's "Ring," in an old-fashioned look from the Metropolitan Opera under James Levine (on Deutsche Grammophon DVDs). Here are a few of the more adventurous "Rings," starting with the CDs.
Georg Solti's "Ring" (Decca), which appeared opera by opera from 1958 to 1966, exploited the new stereo sonics with magical sound effects, "Apocalypse Now" playing from the Vienna Philharmonic and the best cast alive. Birgit Nilsson's Brünnhilde is still unrivaled for steely ping and Wolfgang Windgassen makes an uncommonly colorful Siegfried. This Ring triumphs also in the bad guy, for Gustav Neidlinger's Alberich — the title role, remember, in "The Ring of the Nibelung" — is the greatest on disc. One of Solti's two Wotans, Hans Hotter, mars Die Walküre and Siegfried with his over-the-hill grunting, but Christa Ludwig, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Gottlob Frick are also here, in their prime. Note the very young Gwyneth Jones and Lucia Popp as Rhinemaidens — and Joan Sutherland offers a star cameo as the "Siegfried" Woodbird.
The Wilhelm Furtwängler "Ring," in antique sound, is actually two "Rings," live performances using a variable but always stylish cast. At La Scala in 1950, Brünnhilde is the luminous Kirsten Flagstad — to some, the greatest Wagnerian soprano of all time. Three years later, on Italian Radio, Furtwängler's Brünnhilde is Martha Mödl. Some singers have off nights; Mödl seems to have had an off-career, at least vocally. But her dramatic commitment is thrilling. Anyway, the real draw here is Furtwängler's mystical union with this music. Comparing different readings of key passages, one finds Solti bold and Karajan lyrical — but only Furtwängler encompasses the world creation and then world's end that "The Ring" is made of. Both his cycles have appeared on many labels over the years; currently, the radio "Ring" is available in excellent remastering by EMI and Gebhardt.
Director Patrice Chéreau and conductor Pierre Boulez's 1976 Bayreuth staging, set in a 19th century, industrialized Nordicland, was greeted with a storm of boos. Yet today on DVD (DG), it holds classic status. Praise for the cast centers on the Brünnhilde of Gwyneth Jones, far more glamorous than the Wotan, Donald McIntyre. Generally, Chéreau's Personenregie — his work in character interaction — makes this one of the freshest of "Rings" — for instance, in the intensity with which Siegmund (Peter Hofmann) and Sieglinde (Jeannine Altmeyer) bond. However, the sets vary from effective to dull and dumpy. The Rhine — seen as a hydroelectric dam — had Old Wagnerians gasping in outrage, though it establishes Chéreau's tone well. But the Gibichung palace looks like something left over from the last tour of "Porgy and Bess," and most of Wagner's freaky visual tricks are scanted.
Again at Bayreuth, in 1988, Harry Kupfer directed what some called the "Chernobyl Ring" (Warner), set on a barren and devastated planet. Daniel Barenboim conducts splendidly and Kupfer's Personenregie improves on Chéreau's. Kupfer's cast is also the most athletic on disc, as in the lovably oafish wrestling of Wotan (John Tomlinson) and Brünnhilde (Anne Evans). Some criticize Tomlinson's difficulty in the upper register, but he is the star of the show for his overall intensity and, in his fur-lined coat over low-slung black T, the sexiest guy in the "Ring." Again, the visuals — mostly smoke and lasers on an empty stage — disappoint. On the impressive side, the Magic Fire fills the scene with "real" fire, enclosing Brünnhilde in a red neon cube, and the Rhine is undulating green neon. But there is little else to see. The Gibichung palace is an erector-set bridge to nowhere, and the Valkyries "ride" on a fire escape, gathering the slain warriors in pods straight out of the "Alien" horror films. Still, this DVD set, so strong and basic in its storytelling, might be ideal for the "Ring" newcomer.
The "Copenhagen Ring" (Decca) finally settles whose story this is in a slightly feminist reading built around Iréne Theorin's questing Brünnhilde. Under conductor Michael Schønwandt, the casting — mainly local folks from the Danish Royal Opera — lacks international stars, but Kasper Beck Holten's staging is innovative and crammed with scenery. His inspiration is endless, from the Rhinegold as a naked youth swimming in an aquarium to the Norns, not Wagner's dire soothsayers but merry busybodies who erupt out of the audience. The Bayreuth DVDs offer grander voices, but this "Ring" revels in surprise.

WALLA WALLA — Whitman swimmer Karl Mering was named the Northwest Conference Championships Most Outstanding Male Swimmer Tuesday.

Legally Establish Your Ministry!
For most leaders, the idea of completing piles of paperwork required to legally establish the business side of ministry is too much. When you think about it, most leaders are already juggling too much. Many carry full time jobs, along with hours and hours of ministry work. Some have growing ministries that require all of their attention. For this reason, we believe that the Lord has strategically placed us in a unique position to come along side of you, and bridge the gap between the call of God in your life and the necessary legal steps required to establish your ministry.
Whether you are starting a church, an evangelistic ministry, web based outreach, CDC, ordination ministry, a headquarters, or school, StartCHURCH™ can serve you. When our founder started his ministry in 1993, he worked a 40 hour schedule and then spent 20 to 30 additional hours dedicated to the ministry. That was a very demanding schedule. Our hope is that you do not have to do it alone or spend thousands upon thousands of dollars getting established.
No one offers as much as StartCHURCH™
Our goal is to educate you as we move through your paperwork. We keep you updated every step of the way so you know what is going on and what we are doing. Upon your request we can put our resources into your hands so you can follow along as we progress.

No other company will put more educational resources and software into your hands to allow you to manage and keep your ministry in compliance with the latest IRS regulations. Please take a few moments to browse through our services listed on the right. We believe that we can be of help to you.

Tim O'Brien
Country and bluegrass veteran Tim O'Brien returns to The Barns at Wolf Trap for the first time in three years. O'Brien originally made a name for himself in the folk music landscape during the '80s as a founding member of the band Hot Rize. The band was notable for their progressive sound and lively stage shows, which often featured sets by an alter-ego group fronted by O'Brien, Red Knuckle and The Trailblazers. In his subsequent solo career, O'Brien has been recognized with multiple awards, twice earning the International Bluegrass Music Association Male Vocalist of the Year Award as well as a GRAMMY Award for his 2005 album Fiddler's Green. Many of O'Brien's songs have been recorded by artists such as Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Dierks Bentley, Nickel Creek, Kathy Mattea, New Grass Revival, and Seldom Scene. One of his many collaborators, Mark Knopfler, offers very high praise, describing O'Brien as "a master of American folk music, Irish music, Scottish music–it doesn't matter; a fine songwriter and one of my favorite singers."
Old Man Luedecke
Nova Scotia native and two-time Juno Award-winning artist Chris Luedecke brings his unique brand of uplifting, narrative-driven folk songs to The Barns at Wolf Trap as Old Man Luedecke. Luedecke is touring in support of both his newest album, Tender Is The Night (2012), and its producer, Tim O'Brien. Recorded with a backing band in Nashville, Tennessee, this is Luedecke's fifth studio release and continues a recent trend that ventures away from his signature one-man, banjo-driven song style. His preceding album, a collaboration with fellow Canadian musicians Lake of Stew, was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award in the category of Contemporary Album of The Year.
Chaise Lounge
Friday, November 9 at 8 pm
Chaise Lounge
The '60s swing-jazz scene comes alive thanks to the D.C.-based jazz ensemble Chaise Lounge, who revives an era of music from decades past. Comprised of local musicians Marilyn Older (vocals), Charlie Barnett (guitar, piano), John Jensen (trombone, trumpet), Gary Gregg (woodwinds), Pete Ostle (bassist), and Tommy Barrick (drummer), the band is making the rounds in support of their fourth album, 2012's Insomnia, of which the Midwest Record Review said, "It's cool no matter where you want to pin it. It's different and if you are up for something new… you and this record are ready for each other." In addition to the band, front man Charlie Barnett has written music for more than 400 television shows and films, including Saturday Night Live and The Cosby Show, while vocalist Marilyn Older has contributed her songs to several independent films. The Barns at Wolf Trap is the final stop in their Sleep is Overrated Tour.

Known largely for sharing lead vocalist duties with Robbie Schaefer in the folk band Eddie From Ohio, Alexandria native Julie Murphy Wells will showcase her cabaret and jazz talents for the local crowd at The Barns at Wolf Trap. Wells has toured and performed with Eddie From Ohio for over 20 years, and the band has been recognized as the Best Contemporary Folk Group by the Washington Area Music Association on multiple occasions. After finding local success and national recognition with Eddie From Ohio, Wells began her solo career with 1994's No Rules. Her follow-up album, Sophisticated Lady (1996), features classic jazz covers, highlighting her range and diversity as an artist.
