I am dreading this Saturday! I am 27 and have been in a relationship for 8 years. My boyfriend is unemployed and became a teacher last year but is having a lot of trouble finding work. Well, on Saturday my young cousin is making her communion, so we have to go to the church and a party afterward at my aunt and uncle's house. I am really anxious about it because my Grandfather and his wife will be there (my grandparents are divorced, he is remarried). They are known for saying stupid things and they have certainly commented in the past to my boyfriend about both the job situation and our not being married. I feel this is none of their business and for the 3 days a year that they see us, they know nothing else about us but to comment on these things. It ruins the day and makes puts me on the verge of tears. The last event we were all at my grandpa's wife kept making comments to my boyfriend, things like "don't forget what we talked about!"—she had told him he should propose to me. This is inappropriate and I just really don't feel like putting up with it on Saturday. Any suggestions??!!
There is another etiquette sight that I frequent(ly lurk on) that offers a few catch phrases that tend to make the inappropriate people feel exactly what they are: inappropriate.
"What an interesting assumption."
"Why would I want to do that?"
"So kind of you to take an interest."
-Blank stare-
-change subject as if the other one had not even been introduced-
Use those as appropriate, repeat as often as necessary. You do not need to explain further or even defend yourself even though you may feel like you have to do so.
I'm not sure it is appropriate to link a url to another site here, so I will refrain from doing so. I can always e-mail it to you if you wish.
I used this one for 18 years (and yes, we did get married, but on our terms, not any one elses) – "You know what [insert name of meddling family member here]? We are the happiest people in a relationship that I know. I am very happy with the way things are right now, and when we feel like it is the right time to be married we will let you know." Make sure you are smiling when you say it. Basically you are sending them the message that you are not begging for a ring from him, so they don't need to either! As soon as my now MIL realized that I was actually happy, really really happy, she laid off the marriage thing. As for the job situation, a simple "Everyone knows how tough the job market is right now." should be sufficient.
I have two post-wedding issues and I'm hoping that someone here has some good advice for me. We've been getting a lot of mail addressed to Mr. and Mrs, but I'm keeping my name. Is there a nice way to put out an APB that I'm not changing my name? I asked my friends and many of them have had trouble getting people — even relatives from their side! — to take them seriously and use their real name. It feels awkward to get mail that is not actually for me.
The second is a little bit trickier. We sold out our registry a month before the wedding. We're having make-up parties so our parents can introduce us to their friends who couldn't come to the wedding and we're getting a lot of presents that we don't want. I've told our relatives to pass along that we sold out our registry and would rather not get more gifts, but there are definitely friends-of-realtives who "need" to get us something. It's nice to get gifts, but I feel bad returning things and it's also really become a chore lately. Is there a good way to handle this? My mom suggested registering for things that were easy to return for cash, but that seems really terrible to me. Even though our registry was small, it gave us everything that we needed and I just don't have the heart to go out and pick out more stuff when my house is bursting with new, fun things.
I was married 4 years ago (my anniversary is tomorrow!) and I too decided to keep my name. If you want to be proactive, you could do something as G&H suggested. However, I would counsel patience. When you send out any kind of correspondence, especially holiday cards, the way that you write your return address and sign your cards will provide a yearly reminder of how you are to be called. I should warn you, though, that you will never get 100% compliance and more importantly you shouldn't let it bother you. People do not generally try to pass judgment or insult you with the way they address a card or invitation to you (so says Miss Manners, anyway).
The second problem is not really a problem, is it? It's very nice that people want to give you gifts. You can keep the gifts, return them or donate them. Do whatever is easiest for you, but you should definitely accept any proffered gift graciously and with gratitude. If you think people will buy off of your registry, I can suggest registering for some nice bed linens – they will keep forever, even if you don't use them right away, and they cost a pretty penny and are not something you'll ever really desire to buy for yourself.
Thank you all for your great advice! I really have to remember that I won't be a newly-wed for very long and both issues will pretty much go away on their own. Even though it feels like I've been dealing with these same few issues for a while, it's only been a few months. The older generation who haven't caught on that I'm still using my name probably won't catch on, but like Elizabeth said, they aren't saying that I should become Mrs. Mary, only that many people do.
As for the registry, I guess the real problem is that I feel a lot of guilt and pressure from all sides on this one. We've been really good about sending out thank you notes within the week, so as far as any of the gifters know, we love every one of the things that they've bought and will treasure them forever. Despite what my relatives have said to me, it's no one else's business if we're returning a gift, especially if it comes from someone who will never drop by our home for a visit.
Thank you all for being levelheaded and honest. Both of these are ultimately good problems to have — people like that we're married and are just happy for us. Could be worse!

Great T-Shirt
My husband loves the fit! I just wish you had more colors!
Love 'um!
I bought 4 of these shirts and I'm about to get a few more. There is no way you can find a nicer shirt at this price. Nice, thick fabric that doesn't shrink in the washer and it actually has sleeves that go down to your elbow. I've noticed a lot of overseas brands now cut the sleeve shorter (about mid-way up the arm) now so that they can save materials. These shirts aren't cheap throw away shirts, they're actually made with quality! Highly recommended!
Poor quality
The armpit ripped open the very first time I took the shirt off. I'm not even a fat guy. Sheesh.
Great Tee Shirts
I now have purchased seven of these shirts and I find them of excellent quality. They do fit a bit tighter than some other brands that I have owned but I really like the fit. I especially like the feel of wearing shirts that look good and are made in America!
Tee Shirt with Pocket
I just recieved my t-shirts my wife ordered for me today..I was so suprised at how heavy duty they are for the money.Very well made.Perfect fit..I was afried they would be to short for my 5'11" stocky frame but the 2x size was perfect.. Thank you for making a super nice American made t-shirt. I will order more soon..
usa made
I received my 3 T-shirts. I wear them proudly. The quality is great and they are a good value and investment in American industry.
Not good stiching, was very disappointed
This was the only one shirt in this line that I purchased and de-threaded after the first wash. Please double check on QA/AC that the thread count be increased on the bottom of these shirts. I'll continue to purchase from you but quality needs to be reinforced.
Nice shirt!
I try to purchase American-made clothing whenever possible. However, I expect it to be superior, just as the USA is superior. The price is usually higher, as well. I was sorely diappointed with the quality of these shirts. The fabric tends to pill after a few washings and they are not long enough to comfortably tuck in. I purchased some t-shirts that were made in India, and these were far superior in quality. Please consider carrying a better-quality shirt, or press on the current supplier to get with the program. I won't pay for junk!
Very Pleased
The platium brand is a very comfortable t-shirt and roomy I like that .This t-shirt is the best I have ever bought with out question.
Not what I hoped for
This brand is in the category of t shirts that are too short on bottom and too baggy on top. I wish this website carried Bayside heavyweight tees. These are Union made in the USA as well, and a far superior shirt in comfort and durability.
very happy
I recently received an order that I placed and as always I am very happy.I ordered 5 tee shirts AATP-L-Navy size=large, color=navy
pocket t shirt
I first bought your T shirt made by Union Line,then I bought the platinum, two completely different shirts. Union Line was the superior shirt. Platinum are not as heavy,stretchy,and certainly not the quality that I expected. I won't be a return customer for your T shirts.
u.s.a. the best money i ever spent
Very good quality shirt
The best fitting and most comfortable shirts I've ever put on. 100% American/union made
#1 american made t-shirt
Comfortable great for construction long lasting strong pockets
The Best
These t-shirts are the best fitting.They are made roomy and comfortable there is very little shrinkage if any. I was very pleased with my purchase I thank you for having American quality clothing.
Good Ole' USA MADE SHIRT! THANKS!

BURNEY, GEORGE E. (1814–1878). George E. Burney, politician, was born in Robertson County, Tennessee, on August 15, 1814. After moving in 1834 to Independence, Missouri, in 1836 to Fayetteville, Arkansas, for his health, and in 1842 to Carroll County, Arkansas, he settled in Cameron, Texas, in 1847. He married Sara A. Blair in Fayetteville in 1836. He was elected from Carroll County to the Arkansas legislature in 1842. In 1848 Burney was elected to the Third Texas Legislature from the Milam and Williamson district. In 1849 he introduced the bill that established McLennan, Bell, and Falls counties. He also introduced bills granting charters for the Waco Suspension Bridge, the Waco Tap Railroad, and the Waco Manufacturing Company. He settled at Waco in 1850 and was elected to the Fifth Legislature (1853) from the Waco district. He served in the Texas Senate during the Civil War years, 1862–66. He was the Senate member of the committee that investigated the burning of Brenham in 1866, conducted much of the investigation personally, and made active efforts to secure redress for the victims. Burney was president of the Waco Manufacturing Company. He was a Methodist. He died at his home near Waco on February 18, 1878.

At MLK Event In NJ, Bill Cosby Urges Parents To Monitor Their Kids More Closely
January 16, 2012 3:09 PM

GLASSBORO, N.J. (CBS) — Entertainer and comedian Bill Cosby headlined a Martin Luther King Day fundraiser today at Rowan University.
Cosby provided a mix of smiles and brutal, thought-provoking honesty in his King Day address at Rowan University, in Glassboro.
Cosby said Martin Luther King's dream is not "a done deal." A major reason why, he said, is that adults have failed to speak out against injustice — and that too many have failed to provide direction for their children.
"You don't just allow them to leave, or come and go, without checking," Cosby told the crowd. "There's too much looseness in this world in what we're supposed to be doing as parents."
The event supported a scholarship fund for minority students.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
The interests of young adults are more in tune with athletic performance than with preventing the diseases of aging. John J. Cannell, M.D., is reaching out to the young adult audience to help them be healthier for life, by teaching them how to become faster, quicker and stronger as athletes. However, we all can learn how to be healthier from his teachings. Dr. Cannell is a physician, scientist, researcher, teacher and perhaps most importantly, a health activist.
Last month, we discussed with Dr. Robert Smith how the media distorted a questionable observational study with multivitamins. Just as scientists were setting the record straight about that study, a vitamin E study captured headlines. Fortunately, Andrew W. Saul, Ph.D., quickly distributed accurate information through the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service (OMNS). Dr. Saul was kind enough to further discuss vitamin E and the recent report with us.
Let's clarify what a recent study of multivitamins actually found and put this one study in perspective with the larger body of scientific evidence on multivitamins. The "take home" message is that most people are not getting the recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals solely from their diets and are healthier with supplementation to overcome their multiple deficiencies. Secondly, no, there is no valid scientific evidence that taking multivitamins shortens anyone's life. Dr. Robert Smith and I will discuss some of the most important details later in this column.
Now that most scientists recognize that cardiovascular heart disease results from inflammation in the arteries (which leads to plaque that can rupture and cause an acute heart attack or stroke), a new test has been developed that strongly depicts an individual's risk of this disease. As it has turned out, the Omega-3 Index test is an extremely strong and accurate predictor of heart disease risk.
Will recent events cut the number of dietary supplements available in half and increase the cost of those that remain? Do we need to take action again? A couple of recent events remind me of a discussion we had with Constitutional Attorney Jonathan W. Emord, Esq., in October 2003 about action being required to protect everyone's health. We called upon the wisdom of Thomas Jefferson and others.
In August, we chatted with John J. Cannell, M.D., about the latest research on vitamin D and the flu. This month, we will discuss Dr. Cannell's hypothesis that vitamin D deficiency is a trigger for autism and other childhood diseases of modern civilization.
In July, we chatted with John J. Cannell, M.D., about the safety of vitamin D. This month, we will review Dr. Cannell's study showing that vitamin D is protective against the flu.
In June, we chatted with John J. Cannell, M.D., about the optimal dietary intake of vitamin D. This month, we will discuss the safety of vitamin D.
In April, we chatted with John J. Cannell, M.D., about the function of vitamin D and the recent developments that affect our need to increase our dietary intake of vitamin D. This month, we will discuss optimizing our vitamin D intake.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) has published its new recommendation for the dietary intake of vitamin D. The new recommendations contain significant changes from IOM's previous recommendations in 1997, and current research indicates that even the new changes are already out of date. During the next few months, we will chat with the executive director of The Vitamin D Council, John J. Cannell, M.D., about vitamin D and new research.

Congratulations to the Cablik team – we attended the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association awards banquet on Saturday night, and we won 2 OBIE awards!
Best Green Home: The Barksdale Residence
This new modern home in Atlanta achieved a plethora of green building certifications. It is the first LEED-Silver home in the City of Atlanta, and also achieved Energy Star certification as well as Earthcraft certification. The home is an excellent example of smart use of limited natural resources including energy and water.
Just a few of the home's sustainable features include low-e windows, appropriately-sized HVAC systems, Icynene insulation, tankless hot water heaters, very high-efficiency bath fixtures, ventilation controls per room, local, non-invasive landscaping, sustainable and renewable materials, and recycled construction waste.
The home went above and beyond typical "green" construction, by adding truly sustainable features including an underground cistern to collect rainwater for irrigation, plus an electric plug for a future electric car. The home's intown Atlanta location is very close to many employment,retail, and recreation opportunities, thus decreasing the need for automobile use.
Consistent with the LEED program, the homeowners were provided with a comprehensive owners manual, full of all product manuals and other information related to the sustainable features of their home. This durable resource can be referenced and passed on to the next homeowners upon the home's sale.
Best Green Renovation: The St. Louis Residence
This renovation began as a 1-story 1920′s home, and ended as a two-story Earthcraft-renovated home with a finished attic that is used as a new master suite. The home originally featured single-pane windows and insufficient loose fill insulation in the attic floor. The home's heating and cooling systems were insufficient to meet the demand created by the house. Large amounts of air leakage were identified from various places in the home.
Cablik performed an Earthcraft renovation which addressed these issues, with strategies including reinsulating HVAC ducts, insulating water pipes, performing proper air sealing, using low-VOC paints, stains, and finishes, and recycling construction waste.
This home is an excellent example of how a homeowner can adapt their current home to better fit their needs, while also incorporating sustainability practices into the buildout. Sustainability can be achieved even if the original home may not have been built to meet a sustainability program's criteria. As a result of the sustainable renovation, the homeowners will save significantly on their HVAC bills, and they will have a healthier lifestyle.

Welcome to the Indian Decorating Style, where you will discover an exquisite range of quality tables, chairs, furniture and decorating accessories to create a unique Indian look.
Indian decorating is rich and exotic, symbolic and spiritual, magical and very relaxed. arm colour schemes based on muted tones of purple, raspberry and orange, with small accents of gold, green or turquoise will set the scene. If you prefer a softer scheme, use a neutral base, adding some of the deeper jewel colours as accents. Add vibrancy through patterns, such as he famous paisley, or other geometric and floral designs. Pattern is an essential part of Indian design and can be displayed in authentic sari curtains, throws, wall hangings, canopies, cushions and wallpaper. Flooring such as dark hardwood or pale, neutral ceramic tiles provide a backdrop for the warmth of beautifully woven rugs and the mainstay of Indian decorating-fascinating furniture.
Choose from low hand sawn pieces that are ornately carved, rustic and whimsical, such as stools, chairs, tables, screens, shutters and doors that frequently change their place and their function. For example, an elegant carved door can easily transform into a table top. Often these pieces are abundantly decorated, sometimes inlaid with camel bone and riveted or rimmed with metallic strips. Cabinets and screens are important elements of the interior design, as are nests of table stools, each feature beautifully carved and richly decorated surfaces. The art of resin and lacquering has also created elaborate and elegant bone inlay furniture that encapsulates the age-old charm of Jaipur. White metal furniture made famous in the palaces of Rajasthan is yet another traditional style that will give your Indian scheme authenticity and visual appeal.
Accessories include, ornately carved wooden figurines, wrought iron lighting, candlesticks and wall art, richly textured silver mirrors and large metal trays. To complete the meditative ambiance, add bowls of flower heads, floating candles, and Indian fragrances.

transferred onto a Coast Guard rescue boat.

A group blog from members of the VB team
For previous articles in this series please see
Sorry for the long delay between posts here. We're getting Orcas out the door and getting this series completed takes a back seat to shipping.
Originally I wanted to talk about looping structures next. However when I started writing that post I realized that I had to talk about lifetime before the looping structures would make sense.
Prior to Orcas the lifetime of a variable in VB was the entire function. This presented several problems from a closures perspective. Imagine you had a looping structure and the value was used in a lambda expression.
Sub LifetimeExample()
Dim list As New List(Of Func(Of Integer))
For i = 0 To 5
Dim x = i * 2
If True Then
list.Add(Function() x)
End If
For Each f In list
Console.Write(f() & " ")
End Sub
In this example if we left the lifetime rules unchanged, there would be a single variable "x" for the entire function. That means that we would end up printing out
10 10 10 10 10
This is somewhat unexpected and essentially means that VB could not support complex Lambda scenarios. To fix this we altered the lifetime of variables to be tied to the scope they were contained in. The end effect is that each iteration of the loop has a separate "x" since each iteration enters and leaves the scope of the "if" statement. As a result it will print out
0 2 4 6 8 10
We did make one backcompat adjustment for this change. The lifetime of variables in VB was visible if you tried to use an uninitialized variable in a loop/goto. For instance the following code will also print out 0 2 4 6 8 10 because it takes advantage of the fact that the variable "x" has a lifetime longer than the loop.
Sub VisibleLifetime()
For i = 0 To 5
Dim x As Integer
x += 2
End Sub
To make sure that we didn't break any existing code we had one little errata for the change. When a variable's scope is re-entered, and hence recreated, and it is not initialized to a value it will get the last value of the variable.

The cofounder of BlueGlass, Chris Winfield is known in the Internet marketing industry as a regular speaker, a pro at getting press coverage (he's been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, USA Today and more than 200 other media outlets) and the possessor of great hair (read the comments for proof).
He also originated BlueGlass LA, the upcoming, sold-out conference where Raven is proud to be the top sponsor. We asked him a few questions about content marketing, his worst day ever and bringing his daughter to work.
How was the idea for the BlueGlass conference conceived? How has it evolved?
It was the precursor to officially launching BlueGlass as an agency. The idea was to get buzz around the BlueGlass name before we actually launched the company. We have gotten so much out of conferences over the years and wanted our own way of contributing to the industry with our own flavor, so to speak. It's pretty amazing to see how far we have come. Everything used to be so hurried and frenzied, with us hoping for the best. We plan ahead so much now (heck, we even have an in-house Events Coordinator!). As a result of that, we're able to offer people a better experience with each show.
You've had many industry leaders appear at BlueGlass conferences. Who are some "dream speakers" you've yet to snag?
For me personally, it would be: Seth Godin (Seth could do 3.5 minutes and make it more interesting than most 30-minute presentations), Simon Sinek (watch his TED talk to know why), Sarah Evans (for the PR junkie in me) and Danny Sullivan (Danny can make any subject entertaining and informative). The funny thing is that we have only reached out to one of those four speakers (and they had a scheduling conflict) so the onus is on me to do that. Thanks for the reminder!
BlueGlass is moving further into the world of content marketing now with the acquisition of Voltier Digital. Why is now such a hot moment for content marketing?
I think content marketing has become so hot because of the shift in the marketing landscape. Consumers want to hear your story. They want something with substance. They want to feel like they can connect with you. This is why people care so much about content marketing right now (and it's really refreshing to see).
But this all doesn't just happen overnight or with one piece of content, it takes strategy and commitment. Part of that strategy needs to be creating content that people actually find useful rather than trying to create the next viral sensation. The companies who will see the most success are those with sustainable plans for producing useful content in innovative ways.
How do you explain what you do all day to your daughter?
We have a playroom set up in the office here so she is here (with her nanny) a lot and can learn it firsthand. But if I had to explain it to her, I would say: "Daddy creates buzz." She's only two and a half, after all.
What's the toughest moment you've faced in your career?
Hmmmm… One of the toughest (or most stressful) was during the first job I had after I got out of college. I was working for a web development startup in Manhattan. The whole thing was a mess (I learned everything NOT to do in business there) but this day was particularly bad.
I was supposed to lead a presentation to a big potential customer. They were basically a lock and this was a formality (or so I thought). We were about to get started and the entire site was down (it was a live demo!) . I freaked. Luckily, my wife (this is the job where we met) was also with me and she's great under pressure. She did the entire presentation without anything to demo and we still got the sale! I still get nervous thinking about that day…
You've written a lot about getting press coverage, and your tenacity there reminds me of the hustle of link-building. How do you think PR and SEO are related?
Most of the principles are the same. At the heart of every good PR person and link builder you have a bunch of common traits: 1) someone who is great at building relationships 2) someone who is creative 3) someone who can find opportunities 4) someone who hustles!
Do you see PR growing in importance?
PR is going to become an even bigger and bigger part of SEO. It's just a natural progression (and has been since the beginning of SEO) but now with more & more news being digital only, it's essential.
What are your favorite sites for keeping up with industry news?
I probably spend more time reading non-Internet marketing related stuff. Harvard Business Review is consistently good. Marketing Land has become an awesome source. Copyblogger is always good. And beyond that I like places that bring everything together and do the work for me, like the Hacker News feed or SmartBrief.
What are your favorite blogs or sites that have nothing at all to do with work?
Dumb Little Man, Pinboard, and The Onion.
What's the best day you've ever had in the BlueGlass office?
January 30th, 2012. That was the day we moved into our new office. It was perfect because the Voltier team was able to move in at the same time (before we even announced the acquisition). New office, new energy and we have been riding that ever since!
What do you wish more people knew about you?
That I really try to live in the moment and be grateful.

ALBANY — In 2011, New York state was home to five hard cider-makers. Now, it boasts 29.
The significant increase is part of an overall uptick in the number of alcohol producers in the state, as more and more consumers turn to locally produced beer, wine and spirits.
According to figures released Monday by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's office, the number of businesses producing alcoholic beverages in the state has more than doubled since 2011.
The number of microbreweries is up from 40 in 2011 to 104 this year. The state also has 57 new farm breweries, 100 new farm wineries and 24 new farm cideries, which are allowed to operate retail outlets, restaurants and tastings in exchange for using New York apples, grapes and other local ingredients. The number of distilleries is up from 10 in 2011 to 55 this year.
"The craft beverage industry is one of New York's greatest success stories, and we are doing everything we can in state government to keep the tremendous growth seen by our wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries going strong," Cuomo said.
The growing industry reflects a national trend. The number of breweries around the nation has doubled in the past decade to about 3,000.
New York ranks sixth in the nation for the number of craft breweries, according to the national Brewers Association.
Last weekend, Cuomo announced initiatives to support the industry, including a new advertisement that will begin running on Labor Day. Additionally, the state will allocate $300,000 for further advertisements and events to increase tourism around Long Island's craft beverage industry.
Online and print advertisements will also target key international travel markets in Canada, Europe and Asia that have been shown to be dependable export hubs for craft beverage products from New York.

Near Infrared Digital Photography: A Tutorial
by Eric H Cheng
June 03, 1999
Near infrared light consists of light just beyond visible red light (wavelengths greater than 780nm). Contrary to popular thought, near infrared photography does not allow the recording of thermal radiation (heat). Far-infrared thermal imaging requires more specialized equipment, and is not the subject of this tutorial. Infrared images exhibit a few distinct effects that give them an exotic, antique look. Plant life looks completely white because it reflects almost all infrared light (because of this effect, infrared photography is commonly used in aerial photography to analyze crop yields, pest control, etc.) The sky is a stark black because no infrared light is scattered. Human skin looks pale and ghostly. I have a photograph of a friend's black shirt, which looks white in infrared. My dark sunglasses all but disappear in infrared because they don't block any infrared light, and it's said that you can capture the near infrared emissions of a common iron.
Infrared photography has been around for at least 70 years, but until recently has not been easily accessible to those not versed in traditional photographic processes. Since the charge-coupled devices (CCDs) used in digital cameras and camcorders are sensitive to near-infrared light, they can be used to capture infrared photos. With a filter that blocks out all visible light (also frequently called a "cold mirror" filter), most modern digital cameras and camcorders can capture photographs in infrared. In addition, they have LCD screens, which can be used to preview the resulting image in real-time, a tool unavailable in traditional photography without using filters that allow some visible (red) light through.
This tutorial will take you through all of the steps necessary to procure and manipulate near infrared photographs through the use of a digital camera (or camcorder). You will need:
Before we begin, you will need to check to see if your camera has an infrared blocking filter (also called a "hot mirror" filter) installed. A quick way to test this is to see if your camera can see beams emitted from a common infrared remote control. These beams seem to be fairly bright and are easily seen in a camera's LCD preview area. If you don't have an LCD on your camera, your only hope is to try to capture the beam by taking a picture of your remote (while depressing a button on it). If you cannot see the infrared beam, you may have to remove the infrared blocking filter by disassembling the camera. Note that this may void the warranty. Most brands of digital cameras are known to be sensitive to near infrared light.
Get a few different types of filters to play with. A #87C filter will filter out all visible light, but since these filters gradually filter out more and more light as the wavelength increases, the #87C will also filter out a good amount of the infrared light you're trying to capture! I use the #87 filter because it filters out all visible light, but still lets in enough of the infrared spectrum for clear crisp images. The #25 filter lets in a significant amount of red light, and is often used in traditional photography because it allows image previewing through the viewfinder. These filters do not work well with digital cameras. Supposedly, you can buy a visible light filter from Edmund Scientific for $5, but I'm guessing that it's not of very high optical quality. (609-573-6250, ask for a 1" diameter circular filter, part no. H43948)
Here's a table of % light transmission at different wavelengths for a few of the filters specified above. You should be able to figure out the approximate behavior of the other filters by comparing them to this table.
A tripod is absolutely essential for digital infrared photography. Even though the newest consumer or prosumer digital cameras can be pushed to ISO 320 or more, shutter speeds in daylight will still be on the order of 1/15-1/30 of a second.
You will also need a way to attach the filter to your camera. If your camera is threaded, then it's easy. Buy a gelatin filter holder and some step-up rings, or buy a threaded glass filter (expensive!). If your camera is not threaded, then you'll have to be creative.
My own equipment list includes: (for purchasing information, see the digital ir faq)
The Agfa produces grainy, dim photos with the #87C and #87 filters because of the effectiveness of its hot-mirror filter and limitations on how long the shutter can be left open, but the Nikon 950 produces wonderfully bright, clear images. In any case, you'll probably need an image editor to "pull-out" the image from the output of some of the lower-end digital cameras. Auto-leveling in Adobe Photoshop (Shift-Ctrl-L) usually does the trick. If you don't have Photoshop, find an image editor that allows you similar functionality (one that allows you to expand the variation between the darkest and brightest levels in the photo for more contrast).
Acquiring Infrared Images
Taking infrared photographs is simple, but there are a few things you should always be thinking about. First attach your filter to your camera. Check to see that no light can leak through whatever attachment mechanism you choose to use! Make sure you turn off the flash on your digital camera. Since very little light will be penetrating the visible light filter, your camera most likely underexpose if it tries to use the flash. Set your camera to its highest ISO rating. Once these precautions have been taken, you're ready to shoot! Take some test photographs to make sure that your set-up works. Remember to try to use your tripod.
If the images come out very dark, your camera is underexposing. My old Agfa ePhoto 1280 took pictures so dark that I initially thought that my experiment had failed (see below for an example). A dark exposure can be caused by any number of things, but most likely, it means that the combination of your camera's maximum aperture setting and minimum shutter speed still isn't letting in enough infrared light. Although this situation is not ideal, you can use Adobe Photoshop's "Levels" feature to expand the dynamic range of the picture. Try this by opening the image in Photoshop, and hitting Shift-Ctrl-L to "Auto Level" your image. To make sure the maximum allowable light is being captured by your camera, you can also try manually setting the aperture to its maximum setting and the shutter speed to its slowest setting. You can also try switching to a filter that lets in more visible light (like the Kodak Wratten #89B). If the images are still dark, then you'll have to work with what you have, and use the dark images -- the JPEG artifacting due to the low dynamic range of the Agfa ePhoto 1280's images seems to create a sense of nostalgia due to the unique texture of the resulting images!
In some of your infrared images, you may notice faint streaks of color. This is normal, and probably arises from strange CCD responses to this spectra of light. It may also come from the trace amount of red light that the filters may let through. As an option, you may want to desaturate your image (Shft-Ctrl-U) or force your image to grayscale (Image->Mode->Grayscale). In practice, I've found that forcing the image to grayscale preserves smooth textures better than desaturation of color. You may also notice small, brightly colored spots in your image if your shutter speed was very slow and/or you've pushed your camera to higher ISO ratings. These spots are the result of CCD noise, and can be removed by manual retouching, or with software like Qimage Pro or Camera Bits' Quantum Mechanic(TM).
Tutorial - Creating a view into the world of infrared
This tutorial will take you through the steps of creating an image that serves as a good illustration of a view into the world of infrared. You will need one infrared photograph and one full color photograph taken from the exact same place (again, a tripod is ideal), a photograph of a filter, frame, or similar object, and Adobe Photoshop. For the purposes of this tutorial, I will be using Adobe Photoshop 5.0. The filter or frame will be used to frame the infrared portion of the image in the final composite. If you don't want to deal with finding, photographing, and masking the frame, you can use the one that I used in the above image.
First, open the image of the filter, or frame in Photoshop. You'll need to cut out the entire filter or frame, not including the center portion. If you do not know how to do this, use the filter included with this tutorial, and read up on masking later -- it's a good skill to have in your arsenal of image manipulation tricks.
Now, open both the color and infrared images. You'll probably want to auto-level the infrared image in Photoshop (Shift-Ctrl-L), or manipulate both images to make them look perfect before proceeding to the next step.
Our goal is to merge all three images into our final product. First, click on the window with the color photo to make it active. We're going to copy its contents into a new Photoshop document. Hit Ctrl-A to select the entire image, and then Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard. Now, create a new Photoshop document (Ctrl-N), accept the defaults in the window by clicking "OK" (it will automatically size to the size of the image you're copying), and paste the image into the new windows (Ctrl-V). You will see a copy of the color image in your new window. If you don't see the layers control window, select the menu item Windows->Show Layers to make sure it is visible. Double click the "Layer 1" layer and rename it to something more descriptive, like "Color Image". Now, save the new document and continue. I'm going to refer to this new document as the composite image from now on.
Now we need to copy the entire contents of the infrared photo into the composite image's window as a new layer. Copy the contents of the infrared photo into the new window by following the same steps above. Click on the infrared image's window, hit Ctrl-A and then Ctrl-C. Click the composite image's window, and hit Ctrl-V to paste in the new layer. You'll see a new layer labeled "Layer 1" appear in the Layers tab in one of the control windows. Double-click on "Layer 1" to change the name to something more descriptive, such as ""Infrared Image".
Do the exact same thing with the filter image, and rename the layer to "Filter".
Now we have a document with three layers: a color image, an infrared version of the same image, and a filter. In the composite image's window, you should only see the infrared image with a filter on top of it because the color layer is being blocked by the ones above it in the list of layers.
Our next goal is to size the filter to an appropriate size, and then apply a mask to the infrared layer to let the color image through everywhere except for the area inside the filter. Select the "Filter" layer so that it is hilighted in the layers window. Now, select Edit->Transform->Scale from your menu bar. Click on one of the corner rectangles, and drag the cursor around while holding the mouse button down. When you let go of the mouse button, the filter will resize itself to fit in the bounding box you just specified. Note that you can hold down the Shift key while resizing to force the filter to stay circular. You can also move the filter around by clicking anywhere inside the box and dragging the cursor while holding the mouse button down. Adjust the size and position of the filter until you are happy. When you are done, double click anywhere in the box to commit your changes.
With the quality of the current crop of new digital cameras, exploring infrared photography is finally a possibility for those of us who don't want to deal with the hassles of traditional infrared photography. While it is by no means a replacement for photography in the realm of visible light, it certainly adds a unique, creative twist to digital imaging.

Motopia: A New Age for Modular Construction
Architecture today rolls, flows, inflates, breathes, expands, multiplies and contracts, and searches for its next user. And yet, such architecture is not merely building or product design, but rather recognition of the fluidity of circumstances – the mobility of demographics and information. As the discipline of architecture maintains an increasing capacity to respond to this fluidity, the one-day symposium will enable USC students to engage with real world practitioners and multi-disciplinary scholars who are crafting experiments to prepare for a future continuously on the move. "Motopia: A New Age for Modular Construction" will bring together a range of creative forces behind mobile architecture including architects, educators, theorists, museum curators and writers. Gin D.

The Architecture of Los Angeles – Through the Lens of Luke Gibson
Architectural photographer Luke Gibson shares images of some of his favorite buildings that make Los Angeles a world-class showcase of architecture – from historic to contemporary, day to night, downtown to the beach. In a city overrun with billboards, mini-malls, and cookie-cutter housing , this exhibit of imagery attempts to showcase the beauty that architecture can contribute to the City of Angels. This is the idealized world of this architectural photographer. "Los Angeles is an ever-changing cityscape," says the LA-based photographer, "and there's always something new to capture with one's lens and imagination." RSVP at MORE

Some City Angels @ Edward Cella + Architecture
A group exhibition conceived to characterize the ever hard to grasp, frustratingly elusive, yet undeniable phenomenon termed the 'L.A. Vibe.' The exhibition casts a lens on the diversity of art currently being made in Los Angeles through highlighting a notable gathering new and recent works of eight artists active today. Organized by guest curator, Marlena Doktorczyk-Donohue and presented against the backdrop of the unprecedented Pacific Standard Time exhibitions and collaborations, Some City Angels zeroes in on a small yet discerning slice of L.A.
Exhibition: September 10th- October 29th, 2011
Projections: pinkcomma
Projections, an installation by the Boston-based gallery, pinkcomma questions the future of urban design through new technologies. If all design can be read as an attempt to predict-and shape-the future, then no specialization looks further into the future than urban design. But what does the future look like? Projections tries to make sense of the myriad competing visions of tomorrow-and how they relate to cities-by asking a series of questions: What are the likely parameters of a future possibility? What can past conjectures tell us of our future? Where do the design opportunities lie?

Odile Decq Benoît Cornette Architectes-Urbanistes
Director Eric Owen Moss, followed by an opening reception in the SCI-Arc Gallery
Constructed of mirror-clad walls that create a series of unique geometric spaces, the installation invites visitors to make their way through these spaces while experiencing a constant play of reflection and illusions. Decq's exhibition aims to induce a sensory experience, both vivid and discomforting, one that pulls the human mind in various directions simultaneously. The primary geometry of each space is the triangle, but by inclining the walls at different angles, the architect forces visitors to perceive the space as something different.

California Design, 1930-1965: "Living in a Modern Way"
This exhibition is the first major study of California midcentury modern design. With more than 300 objects-furniture, ceramics, metalwork, fashion and textiles, and industrial and graphic design-the exhibition examines the state's role in shaping the material culture of the entire country. Organized into four thematic areas, the exhibition aims to elucidate the 1951 quote from émigré Greta Magnusson Grossman that California design "is not a superimposed style, but an answer to present conditions…It has developed out of our own preferences for living in a modern way."

What is Shareware? Okay, so you're a newbie; that's fine as we're here to help. :) Shareware is a method of distributing software that you get to try out the program before you purchase it. For example, you see a Newsreader that looks like something you might need, but you're not sure. Just download it and try it out first. Most shareware has some sort of "nag" that will entice you to pay for the software. Commonly this is a time-limit. For example you may be limited to only using the software for 30 days without paying. Generally the enticements are designed to allow you to use most of a programs functionality, but at the same time to encourage you to pay for the software. Shareware is a great system for selling and distributing software, much better than commercial "on the shelf" software that you have to pay for up front, might not do what you want, and is generally not returnable. Shareware puts you in charge -- you evaluate the software and decide if it is worthy of you paying for it.

New Study Results on Hyperactivity and Additives in Food
Health and Nutrition studies seem to be a dime a dozen, particulary since it seems to be common that a batch of studies may demonize a certain nutrional supplement while subsequent studies may castigate the methodology of the first batch and cite entirely different findings.
Just the same, I do the same thing everyone else does when they see an interesting headline attached to an article discussing...yet another new study.
This particular study, conducted at the University of Southampton, has found an adverse affect on children age 3 and children ages 8-9. The conclusion reached is that food additives contribute to hyperactivity. What types of food additives? Mainly preservative agents and food colorings.
If the study results pan out, I wouldn't be too surprised. Conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease are greatly fueled by diets that include highly processed foods. And doctors such as Perricone now point out that illnesses such as fibromyalgia and chronic pain may be linked to sweetening agents like aspartame and preservatives such as MSG.
We are what we eat. And for most of human history, and pre-history, humans did not eat the type of diet that most of us currently consume. It could simply be that evolution has not quite caught up with our modern diets and, in the interim, many of us will suffer healthwise as a result.

Planning for SOA
Designing an Enterprise Application framework for Service Oriented Architecture
So many of the articles about SOA are still pretty handwavy. In their SOA feature article Shyam Kumar Doddavula and Sandeep Karamongikar explain that SOA applications are "based on the principle of developing reusable business services and building applications by composing those services instead of building monolithic applications in silos." In the article they identify " some of the key design considerations for SOA and then identifies the logical design elements required to address these design considerations and an application framework that provides the basic components needed. Some of the possible implementation options were also considered. The primary intention is to present a systematic approach to developing an enterprise application framework for SOA and take it from concepts to design elements level."
John Bobowicz asks " Is GPL really the white knight of Open Source as many claim, or does it just restrict different freedoms? "
in today's href="http://weblogs.java.net"> Weblogs .
In When your code and my code becomes "our code" he writes "I personally don't like people telling me what license to use for code that I have written on my own. I have just as much of a right to pick my own license for my code as other do for their code. You can dictate to me when, where, and how to use your code, just don't dictate what license I have to use for my code. If your code and my code becomes our code, don't I have a say about what license to use for our code? GPL doesn't seem to think so."
Arun Gupta blogs that WS-RM moves towards standardization path " WS-RM is submitted by it's co-authors to OASIS for standardization and Sun Microsystems supports that effort. "
In Also in
Java Today , Jim Waldo has written More on languages and objects in his Artima.com blog. He continues his previous discussion on distributed programming and issues with objects when working with a single language and with working with multiple languages. He concludes, " Bits on a disk are much like bits on the wire, in that neither are objects. Persistence is just transmission over time, rather than space; as Einstein taught us these two are pretty much the same.
So, if all of this makes any sense at all, why is it that everyone wants language-independent systems?"
A while back Ivan Pedruzzi interviewed
Jason Hunter on XML and Java Technologies.
Jason says that XQuery has "an appeal reminiscent of Servlet and Java programming. By contrast a lot of the other XML work I've been doing with Schema and DOM are, well, a lot less fun. If a particular technology is important-yet-tedious, it may succeed but won't blossom because people won't feel any allegiance to it. In this respect, XQuery is happily more like servlets than like Schema or DOM and I find that to bode well for its future."
In Projects and
Communities, from the Mac Java Community page: most developers use Apple's XCode IDE to build Cocoa apps, but XCode is better suited to Objective-C than to Java. For Cocoa-Java developers, Mike Butler has the secrets of Building Cocoa-Java Apps with Eclipse.
Java WS and XML community has added two new community leaders: Kirill Grouchnikov and Aleksei Valikov. "Kirill is project
lead for bindmark and jaxb-workshop, and Lexi is the lead for
jaxb-verification, hyperjaxb and hyperubl."
Kirill Cool reports a problem with

Doused with Brandy
"If all the world were like us," wrote a humble hatmaker, "there would be no war." Those simple words cost Jacob Hutter his life.
Hutter was among the first Anabaptists. The term Anabaptism means to baptize again, originally a term of contempt used by opponents, referring to the Anabaptist belief that state-sponsored baptism of infants was unscriptural. The movement had its beginnings when those impatient with the pace of Zwingli's reformation in Zurich separated from the state church and baptized themselves on January 21, 1525. Persecuted by both Catholics and Reformers, many of them fled to Moravia (in modern Czechoslovakia) where government officials seemed more tolerant. They lived in communes, and Jacob Hutter was attracted to their cause.
Hutter was a hatter. His scant education in Prague had been in the trade of hatmaking, and he traveled widely making and selling hats until he had come in contact with Moravian Anabaptists and eventually became their leader. But in 1536 King Ferdinand I ordered the Moravian Anabaptists from homes and communes into the open fields where they lived under the sky and in caves. Hutter appealed to the governor: Now we are camping on the heath. We do not want to wrong any human being, not even our worst enemy. Whoever says that we have camped on a field with so many thousands, as if we wanted war or the like, talks like a liar and a rascal. If all the world were like us there would be no war. We can go nowhere. May God himself show us where to go.
Hutter's letter so inflamed the authorities that he and his pregnant wife were captured and taken to a nearby fortress. For three months, Hutter was tortured with rack, whip, and freezing water. He refused to recant, and on this day, February 25, 1536, he was tied to a stake, doused with brandy, and set on fire. He was about 36. After Hutter's death, his followers, calling themselves by his name, began spreading their faith. Eighty percent of all Hutterite missionaries died a martyr's death, but today groups of Hutterites still live in pockets of Europe and in several western states in America.
