Otley town councillor Nigel Gill, who has taken on the role of Otley Town Mayor
Otley's new town mayor received his chains of office this week – from his mother.
Councillor Nigel Gill (Lab, Manor) succeeded his mum, Councillor Pam Gill (Lab, Manor) in the role.
The handover took place at the town council's annual meeting on Monday, when Councillor Philip Bye (Lib Dem, Prince Henry) was appointed deputy town mayor.
Peter Heald was declared an honorary citizen in recognition of the work he has done with Otley Town Partnership to help the community prosper.
Young dancer Jan Filby, a student with The Northern Ballet, received the new Youth Achievement Award for his outstanding achievements in dance. Council leader Councillor John Eveleigh (Lab, Ashfield), in his annual report, said: "It is now 40 years since the town council, in its current guise, was formed and I doubt if any of the previous years delivered quite so much."
He named the council's new town-centre base, the Otley Core Resource Centre – which also acts as a venue for Jobcentre Plus, police drop-in surgeries, Otley Museum exhibits and more – as one of the key achievements.
He said the revamped, staffed Orchard Gate toilets had also proved a hit. He said: "It is my belief this one project has done more to improve the lot of visitors, and therefore assist the tourist objectives of the town, than any other."
Coun Eveleigh said the 17 per cent decrease in this year's precept – which followed a 25 per cent hike the year before – showed the council was determined to provide value for money. Thanking staff and looking ahead, he added: "The Tour de France alone will be a brilliant opportunity for the town to put itself in the shop window.
"As chairman of the steering group I would like to thank another whole load of people who have voluntarily agreed to serve on the steering group – specifically the chairmen of the different working groups we've established – Councillor Jim Spencer, Lawrence Ross, Dave Robson, Paul Sykes and Councillor Austin Kelly."

The AGM was followed by the annual parish meeting, when residents questioned councillors about the future of the Civic Centre and the need to control dogs in Wharfemeadows Park.

I agree with Cllr Eveleigh - finally we have a Town Council that is actively delivering for Otley and is no longer just an embarassing ' talking shop'. Our MP would do well to take notice that its not just about seeking personal publicity and photo opportunities.

Rogue Libyan general battles militias for control of Benghazi
Gen. Khalifa Hifter says he launched airstrikes against Islamist militias after attacks on his forces on outskirts of the city.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
CAIRO—Troops loyal to a rogue general launched airstrikes on Sunday against Islamist militias in Benghazi, a Libyan security official said, in what appeared to a new push into the city itself as part of his ongoing offensive against the fighters.
The strikes followed a ground assault with infantry and clashes earlier in the day that left five dead. Both actions seemed to be part of a plan by Gen. Khalifa Hifter and his forces to seize control of the eastern city.
Related on thestar.com:
Hifter told reporters later Sunday that the new push followed attacks by militias against his forces on the outskirts of the city.
"Our eyes are open," he told reporters. He said his forces had tried to ease military operations ahead of elections expected later this month, but the militants prompted the recent clashes. "Every time we give them a chance, they try to seize it."
Libya is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections on June 25, aimed to end a standoff between Islamist and non-Islamist political groups.
The official said Hifter's forces lost four fighters while a member of an Islamist militia also died in the fighting. He spoke anonymously because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Benghazi was a ghost town late Sunday, as banks and businesses shut down. The fighting caused power outages in Libya's second largest city, according to the electricity ministry and residents in the city. Communications networks were also disrupted.
The official said Hifter's forces were met by fire from Islamist militias in the neighbourhoods of Siddi Faraj and Qawarsha. It appeared to be the first time Hifter's forces have made a concerted ground assault on parts of the city. They previously have launched attacks from Benghazi's outskirts and carried out limited airstrikes.
Sunday's airstrikes were carried out using helicopters, the official said. It was not immediately clear what the specific targets were.
Essam al-Jahni, a Benghazi resident, said families fled areas where the fighting was taking place in the city centre and its eastern edges, after Hifter's forces issued a warning to them on Sunday. He added that Hifter's forces had deployed tanks to those areas early Sunday morning.
The fighting has escalated the crisis in Libya, which has been embroiled in turmoil since the 2011 civil war and the downfall of longtime dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Heavily armed militias, born out of the rebel groups that toppled Gadhafi, are now the main power in the country.

the dc operates at 24 volts and it can pass a relatively big current through it
there are many types of relays , many even rated @ 5V
Quotethere are many types of relays , many even rated @ 5Vthats a better one i guess if you dont need very big currents at the output
Thanks for the info. I am trying to control two motors, one for each set of tracks. Therefore I can steer the robot by switching one track forward and the other reverse, like a small tank. The motors are can be powered by 1.5-3V, 0.2 Amps. Sounds like the H-brigde is the way to go.

A single page from The Firelight Isle. Buy paper versions on The Shop, and read about the progress of the comic on The Blog!
haaa, the composition here!!! I could look at this all day.
Woah! really cool page layout!
This is so cool.... I want to read it. Sort of reminds me at the beginning of Monsters Inc where there are tons of hanging doors.... i dunno maybe thats just me cx
my favorite page <3 so beautiful !
You did a wonderful job with the movement, weight, and flow of the drapery on this page. It sells the emotion and the character's transition/transformation at this point.
Great job getting on the Undiscovered page!
wow awesome
Absolutely masterful!
This has to be my favorite page so far of the strips released I was reading about pigments and paints a few days ago and instantly thought of your comic when it talked about the legendary blue shades and how valuable they were.
That's awesome! There's so much in the story that relates to dyes, I have to reign back on the technical detail sometimes. I'd be happy just doing a piece about weaving XD
I love the tapestries here
Great panels composition!!

Lipstick never felt this good. Introducing Creamy Lip Color. This innovative lipstick combines rich color, comfortable long-lasting wear and a soft, creamy shine. Formulated with emollient shea butter and skin conditioners, this amazing formula glides on smooth, wears all day and leaves lips soft and moisturized.
This lip color applies smoothly and lasts all day long - I opted for a nude shade (which I never do) because if I want a long lasting color - it should be a color that goes with every look. When I first applied this lip color I actually said aloud "OH EM GEE!" It's luxuriously smooth to apply and the conditioning sensation you get on first application, lasts most of the day. I only had to reapply in the evening after eating because my lips felt a bit dry - to my surprise I unknowingly grabbed this lip color rather than my chap stick. The shades in this line are definitely more neutral and daily wearable - this will be one of the lipsticks in my purse's makeup bag. (Photo attached is of Pink Buff)
love the texture, really creamy, makes me want to apply it more and more. i always love bobbi brown products, simpple packaging yet great formula. i'll say its expensive for a lipstick, but cant help it i love the creaminess and it long lasting. hope they will make brigther color next time.
Perfect "your lips but only better" blue based pink. Even better when layered with a sheer coral gloss (Smashbox watermelon) ontop. Not just a color for summer, can work it's way into fall to brighten up your face as well.

text: Hi guys needed to check up on something. Recently in school we were taught that in order to test for the presence of chloride ions, we had to add acidified silver nitrate to check for the precipitation of silver chloride. Similarly, to test for sulfates, we were told to add acidified barium nitrate to check for the precipitation of barium sulphate. I am confused by the "acidified" portion. Say I am testing for chlorides. I am supposed to add nitric acid as well as silver nitrate. When I asked why this was so, I was told that it was to eliminate any other potential silver salt from precipitating. So any precipitate I saw would only be silver chloride and not some other silver salt. Thus I would know for sure that chloride ions were present. How does adding nitric acid eliminate other possibilities?

Winter has just gifted Minneapolis with its first sizable dusting of lovely snow. As nice as it looks when it's fresh, it does have a habit of making the bicyclist's commute a bit of a dodgy prospect. While the roads may be rutted and covered in little patches of ice, it's still totally possible to commute through it with confidence and a little bit of speed. When it comes to riding in this particular excitement, it's important to have the proper tools for the job. A decent set of goggles goes a long way, and a gaiter helps keep the cold out. Arguably the most important weapon in your winter commuting arsenal is going to be your favorite winter bicycle.
On that note I'd like everyone to… Meet The Steamroller:
The Surly Steamroller frame is definitely a go to frame and fork set-up for the snowy weather. The frame and fork are specifically designed to accommodate larger treaded or studded tires, while still being able to utilize a front brake for all that safety. I roll on a 700 x 32 Vittoria Randonneur as my rear tire and a 700 x 40 Schwalbe Marathon studded tire in the front. The Marathon is a new addition and I have been very impressed with its ability to blend function on clear streets with a high level of control and grip in the really nasty bike lane ruts. My tires are mounted on weinman rims laced to sealed bearing formula hubs. I also utilize a sealed bearing bottom bracket to keep my important bits from seizing up or wearing out. Sealed bearing components aren't necessary for winter riding, but they do make a big difference in limiting repair and replacement costs. I set up my ride with flipped mustache bars to get myself in a real comfortable body position that also gives me a great sense of steering control regardless of the terrain. I roll with a Tektro front brake, which is going to make all the fixed gear elitists shudder, but nothing makes me feel safer, especially on snowy streets when my fixed braking may not give me the stopping speed I need. A front brake is not only the law, but also a very very good idea to keep you from skidding right out into traffic.
Along the safety line of gear I rock at least four or five reflectors, as well as a full complement of six lights. Three lights in front, and three in back keep me visible even in the heaviest of snow falls. I also run lights in my spokes to give me that added side-on visibility.
The newest addition to the steed was the front rack which I have been very impressed with. Not having to carry quite so much on my back has been a pleasure as I navigate the city streets. My particular winter set-up isn't for everyone. Some people are going to prefer the added comfort of riding two studded tires instead of just the one, and some people ride a twenty six inch bike to get them a little lower center of gravity. Whatever set-up is going to give you the most confidence riding in poor conditions is always the way to go. Remember, Riding in the winter is a totally realistic means of commuting no matter what the weather throws at us. We are Minnesotan.

Use conspiracy in a sentence
Conspiracy to commit a crime is almost as bad as actually committing a crime in most consumers' point of view.
I am beginning to believe my co workers have some sort of conspiracy planned to sabotage my position. One day I came in and files were missing from my desk. Someone hacked into my emails and deleted my return address and some important messages. I've caught my coworker following me at a job site. I'm not sure why they are all plotting against me but someone wants me gone.
Kara, who disliked Alice,knew she wouldn't be home at a certain time, so she gladly took part in the conspiracy to set Alice's house on fire.

"With the right naturally derived ingredients, you can get great results," says Suki Kramer, green beauty expert and president/founder of Suki skincare. It makes sense: Botanical ingredients have been called on for centuries for their regenerative, anti-aging properties, and cutting-edge research is beginning to support some of that that age-old wisdom. Here, 5 plant-based ingredients that pack serious wrinkle-fighting, free radical-neutralizing, and brown spot-destroying potency. The best part? There's no Rx needed.

As our long Olympic journey closes, let's end on a positive note: the US men's volleyball won the gold medal on Sunday by beating the heavily-favored Brazilians 3-1. Of course, the real story of the match had little to do with bumps, sets and spikes.
The story was US coach Hugh McCutcheon. As most people know by now, his father-in-law was killed and his mother-in-law was seriously injured by a knife-wielding nut job the day of the Opening Ceremonies. He missed the first three games of the tournament, but returned to his team at the urging of his wife after his mother-in-law was well enough to be moved to a US hospital.
After almost two weeks of having to deal with the biggest professional moment of his coaching career while also experiencing one of the biggest personal tragedies of his personal life, McCutcheon finally was able to let his guard down after his team put the finishing touches on the match. He walked away from the court for an understandable minute to himself:
"It all was starting to sink in," he said. "I had to take a step out and collect my thoughts and collect my emotions and come back out. It's a very meaningful moment."
It's a bizarre form of kismet: the moment that was the dark cloud over the Opening Ceremonies becomes the feel-good moment of the last day of competition. In an Olympics filled with allegations of deception and illusions, sometimes it takes something so raw and emotional to separate what's real from what isn't.

I have 100 percent african american cottony hair with corkscrew coils/curls. I've been wanting to try this product for years and finally able to pick it up locally at Sephora. I don't like this product at all. Even though it helps define the coils and cut down on frizz my hair feels weird and just not quite right. I'll be returning it back to Sephora today and that's one of the reasons why I bought it. I'll probably exchange for the Balancing Rinse to use with the deep treatment which I do like.
Thumbs down for this. Curls Gelescy and Abba Pure Volume Gel are current HGs for me. Thank goodness.

I have very tempermental hair. Only one product works to straighten it and now only one products wroks to wear it curly. I have very frizzy big curly hair and this keeps them compact defined and shiny but still movable and touchable. Smells fantastic and the bottle is cute too. I used this and with some hairspray to control the frizz but this has made the biggest difference. I wouldve given a five if it managed to keep them a little more compact and in control not that the results weren't great already.

As most of us with naturally curly hair know, it's very difficult to find a styling product that will enhance curls and make them frizz free, but yet not be crunchy. For my hair, this is it. I have shoulder length 3A curls. I use two quarter-sized dollups off this on my hair. One on the bottom half and one on the top half. I tried the styling instructions on the Ouidad web site, but found it was way too much product and made my hair slightly crunchy (not a big deal; I just scrunched it out). All the product also weighed my hair down. With just the two dollups, I find I don't have to scrunch out my hair as much when it dries like I normally do with other products. The only thing I don't care as much for is the new packaging. It's impossible to see how much product is left in the bottle because of the full label. You just have to guess. I also don't like that I can't just go buy this in a store and that I have to order it. But, it's an excellent product and I get a lot of compliments on my curls.

This is an expensive gel BUT a little goes a long way. I have very long, naturally dry hair w/lots of wave. The wave can easily morph into a frizzy mess with some other products. I use this gel after the curl quencher moisturizing shampoo & conditioner. After applying I just leave it alone to dry naturally. It is a rare product (or combination of products) that will allow me to comfortably head out in the world without the flat iron, hot rollers or push come to shove, a hat. This one provides me with the opportunity to experience wash, gel, and go hair.
It has a very slight scent - to me nothing objectionable.
My only problem with this is that it will leave my hair slightly sticky. Once I run my fingers or comb through it is fine. A minor objection for how it leaves my hair.

I use this thin gel after Ouidad PlayCurl Shampoo and Condtioner. It adds body to my hair and holds the curl all day.

I was pretty disapointed with this product. I waited a long time to try it, since it was so expensive. However, I finally caved and ordered it after becoming frustrated with my shoulder-length, thick curly/wavy hair. After having such high hopes, I was sad to learn that it did not work for me. Although I liked the smell and consistancy, it left my hair 'weird' looking. It certainly did not bring out the curl, and it left my hair with an uneven texture. I even tried the 'shake and rake' technique, but it didn't help. *shrugs* I sent this one back to HSN - onto the next.

This is my Holy Grail of products. I have long, relatively healthy, fine, NATURALLY curly hair. Over the course of my life, I had tried literally every product on the market for curly hair. That all stopped when I found this. I saw it in Allure's Best of Issue in 2000 and it seriously changed my life.
I recommend reading and following the instructions on how to apply the product. If done correctly, you should have soft curls that hold with no frizz-- and more importantly- with no stiff, crunchy, producty feeling that other gels and mousses can give. I love love love Ouidad. They have revolutionized curls for everyone.

This is kind of like L'Oreal's melting gel now under another name. Smells nice .It gives my wavey hair more definition ,but so far in the humidity it holds okay,not as great as i would expect. This is not a extra hold gel, it made my very hair soft and i put a bit of regular mousse or gel on top lightly just to keep it from going every which way.

This was just ok for me, I have long, some what thick, coarse curly hair. I also live where it is very humid, and rainy all the time. So of course when I saw this Climate Control gel I thought "great!". It smells good, I'll give it that, but the actual hold of this product was less than I expected, I know you could buy more of their products to use for hold but dang this stuff is $25.00! I tried mixing it into some of my other styling products and it did alright. I may try a sample kit with all of the shampoo's and stuff, but i wont buy a full size bottle of this again.

I LOVE this stuff. I have very curly hair that I have struggled with my entire life, until I found ouidad!! I get the carve and slice hair cut every six months and I use only ouidad products! My hair has never been so manageable, and unfrizzy. I highly reccommend this and the botanical boost.

Hing's Group
Hing has been a member of VisionFund for one cycle and fully repaid back the past loan, which has helped to better support her family as well as her current business. Now she is forming a group of three to ask for another loan of 1,000,000 KHR each. Hing, who is the leader, will use her portion to pay rent on her farmland so she can grow more cassava. She hopes to gain more income for her family to improve her standard of living.
Additional Information
About VisionFund CambodiaVisionFund Cambodia is a Christian organization and microfinance institution that provides small loans and other financial services to improve the lives of children, empower poor women and their families, and grow successful businesses. The organization works primarily in rural parts of Cambodia and has distinguished itself by targeting the very poor who require smaller loan sizes, regardless of religious beliefs, gender or ethnic background.
Kiva lenders' funds will help the organization to expand into the northeastern provinces of the country, which have historically been underserved and difficult to reach with financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Washington & Lee cross country; another solid Eagle sport

Opponents beware, Flickinger's Farriers are on the war path
Two-a-days are in full swing, 30 genuinely tough teenagers are involved, and sinewy, sweaty bodies ache just a little bit less with each practice. Football, right? Though Coach Cindy Flickinger runs a tight ship worthy of the gridiron, she's actually entering her fourth year as the coach of another of W&L's more successful sports: cross country.
"This is the first year we've done two practices, but the kids requested it so we're doing it," she said. "Many of them have jobs, so morning and evening practices give them more opportunities to get here and get the work in."
An all-state high school performer and small college all-American, Flickinger is no stranger to personal running success and this could be a breakout year for her team. Her intensity and optimism are apparent as she surveys her team.
"Four boys who ran at the state meet are back. [Senior] David Ramirez, [juniors] Cale Coryell, Cullen Oliver, and James Cox are all leaders, but we've got 15 boys coming out every day working hard. And we've got Leah [Coates] as a captain and about 15 girls, too," Flickinger said.
Leah Coates is back as a senior, and she's been to state every year and won the district as a sophomore. She's likely to be in the thick of things at every level in the post-season.
Asked who made great strides, so to speak, in the off-season, Flickinger doesn't hesitate, but she does whisper so as not to swell their respective golden-tressed and nearly shaved heads: "Cullen and Cale are going to be beast."
Flickinger's use of the popular slang term for a particularly successful athlete isn't the only wily coaching trick she employs. She and her faithful volunteer assistant coaches, Stephanie Lambrecht and Cole Vanover are known to run the 5 mile practice loop from the county line with their young charges. And the word is that all three coaches have been known to reel in their adolescent competition in the back stretch.
Beholden to nothing but the weather and perhaps heavy traffic, practice can involve brutal hill runs, endless series of sprints, or marathon journeys down every back road within five miles of Montross.
"Going to Food Lion and back is 3.5 miles, but we can build in extra distance on that route," she said.
Preseason practice is where the conditioning base is built for the entire season and everyone knows that August miles lead to November smiles at the state meet.
"We expect to compete well with everyone in the district, region, and state. We've got the kids to do some great things this year," said a satisfied Flilckinger, following a very efficient team stretching session after warm-ups but right before she releases them for yet another county line run.
As the Eagle runners get off to a fast start, it's easy to imagine that they're just trying to put themselves a safe distance in front of their coach before she changes her mind and decides to catch them personally.

Four Seasons' new PB executive chef replaces another who's joined Food Network star's team
- 12:27 pm Wednesday, March 18th, 2015 by M.M. Cloutier
With Darryl Moiles, the former longtime executive chef at the Four Seasons Palm Beach, having been hired earlier this season by Food Network star Robert Irvine, the Four Seasons has welcomed a new executive chef.
Chef Tory Martindale, a 20-plus-year veteran of Four Seasons properties, comes to the Four Seasons Palm Beach (2800 S. Ocean Blvd.; www.fourseasons.com/palmbeach) from the worldwide hotel-and-resort company's Whistler, British Columbia property.
In Palm Beach, Martindale now oversees the oceanfront resort's three distinct restaurants—AB&G, Graze and Jové Kitchen & Bar—as well as the culinary operations of onsite weddings and special events.
In recent years, the Four Seasons Palm Beach [More]
Newly appointed pastry chef at Buccan: "…every guest as inspiration"
- 3:25 pm Tuesday, September 30th, 2014 by M.M. Cloutier
For the first time since it opened in January 2010, Palm Beach's Buccan, 350 S. County Road, has a pastry chef dedicated exclusively to the restaurant's bread-and-dessert program.
And she says she's "using every guest as inspiration to create my best desserts yet."
Antonia Grandberry, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Atlanta, Ga. and formerly pastry chef at BLT Steaks in Miami, already has introduced a number of desserts at Buccan.
Among them: a "popcorn sundae" with bourbon-bacon crackerjack and salted caramel crumble; butterscotch-soaked carrot cake; and "gown-up cookies and milk" with brown butter-and-chocolate chunk cookies presented alongside [More]
PB's Cafe Cellini welcomes new chef who's tweaking, but not diverging from patrons' comfort zone
- 4:35 pm Sunday, November 3rd, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
Perhaps an indication of the gentle direction he's taking with the Continental fare at Café Cellini, Joseph Cummings, the Palm Beach restaurant's new chef, last week turned out a daily special aimed at accomplishing two goals: serving something ever-so-slightly new to Café Cellini while recognizing you can't divert from what longtime patrons of the 20-plus-year-running restaurant are accustomed to.
The special? Porcini mushroom-accented Chilean sea bass with a citrus-leek beurre-blanc, a dish in step with Café Celini's ouvre. Cummings appreciates many of the restaurant's loyalists like their menu favorites—from yellowtail snapper Francaise to veal chop Milanese—prepared the way they've always been.

PB's Cafe Boulud hires new exec pastry chef for its refreshed kitchen leadership
- 5:43 pm Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
On the heels of hiring a new executive chef, Palm Beach's 10-year-old Café Boulud now is welcoming a new pastry chef, who hails most recently from the acclaimed Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia.
Eric Snow, 38, will work in tandem with Café Boulud's head chef Rick Mace, who joined the restaurant in August.
Snow, born in Anchorage, Alaska (as a child, he developed a fondness for helping his mother bake cakes because of the precision of measuring ingredients), made his foray into the culinary industry in Atlanta, Ga.
There, after preferring hands-on working positions with chefs instead of enrolling in formal academic pastry [More]
New chef at PB resort a winner of Anne Burrell's `Chef Wanted' show
- 8:12 pm Tuesday, March 5th, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
If you're a fan of the Food Network show Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell, you may remember a recent episode in which Chef David Sears cooked his way to winning the executive-chef position at a New York restaurant called Zengo.
He didn't take that grand prize.
Turns out, he opted instead to accept The Ritz-Carlton's offer to be chef de cuisine at the Palm Beach resort's busiest restaurant, Temple Orange, which serves regional Mediterranean-influenced cuisine.
The Ritz's general manager, Michael King, says Sears' "enthusiasm" and "commitment" make him an ideal candidate to "re-energize the Temple Orange vision."
Sears began his culinary career as personal chef [More]
"Top Chef" alum and former PB chef reunited with colleague at Delray's Sundy House
- 6:07 pm Thursday, February 14th, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
Lindsay Autry—the former Omphoy chef who went on to capture national attention with her impressive cooking performance on Bravo TV's "Top Chef: Texas" series—has been joined in her latest post by a familiar colleague.
Autry, currently executive chef at Sundy House in Delray Beach, is now working alongside Pastry Chef Sarah Sipe, who has collaborated with Autry in the past at restaurants by Michelle Bernstein.
For Sundy House, having Autry and Sipe together again means "enhancing our menu and the experience for our guests," says the historic boutique-hotel's general manager, Bruce Siegel.

You have been featured in my journal!
holy hell 45 mins....... im confused wouldn you see the turning radius of the earth if you were at the axis of the planet if this was in ny, then where the hell did the center of the circle come from?
If you look very closely at the North Star, which is dead center, you see that it to is arching. It's not totally still. The closer the stars are to the northern sky, the less rotation.
wow, how did you do that, breathtaking
Fuji Provia 100 film, Maxxum 7 35mm SLR, sturdy Manfrotto Tripod, and a remote cord with a shutter lock button. Then, just compose, and shoot in BULB. I kept the shutter open 45 minutes on this shot.
sounds not too complicated i guess
great work
great work
45mins wow, very cool
I love these things! Looks like you got two planes that flew threw the shot blinking away.
Planes trails have been removed as best as I could.
Fucking planes. I figured I was miles away from any flight paths. Grr...
sweet shot, how long was this? I've been thinking of buying an older manual camera to try these type of night shots, where I can do 5 min exposures or longer.
This was a 45 minute exposure at f/11 on FujiFilm Provia 100. Great film for night exposures like this.
oh wow, it came out very nice. what camera did you use? I hate how most digitals have a 30 second exposure restriction, or at least up to a couple min.
Well, my digital Maxxum 7D has a BULB setting, but usually any exposure after 2 minutes, and the CCD sensor starts to heat up and actually burns into my image in the upper left corner. I used my Maxxum 7 35mm for this and it worked great!
What was the exposure time?
Nice one! You capture this a while ago?
Yeah. This was on that roll of Fuji Provia you got for me. I'm gonna pick up some more of it for sure.

Narrow your search
Another entry in the growing compact gaming laptop category, the Maingear Pulse 14 is slim and portable, with decent specs, but it's too expensive considering its lackluster screen.
Accept the limitations of its scaled-down chassis, and the Maingear Potenza Super Stock will provide top-notch gaming horsepower in an attractive package.
A hefty investment if nicely configured, the Maingear Nomad 17 delivers for serious gaming, although the look may not be for everyone.
Ignore the side panel. Maingear has an outstanding deal in this high-end F131 gaming desktop, which is one of the fastest PCs we've seen all year. We recommend this system without hesitation to serious PC gamers and those interested in a high-performance, high-value computer.
With desktop-replacement power in a midsize package, the 15-inch Maingear EX-L 15 is a niche product, but one that largely delivers.
Maingear's Vybe is the first desktop in our lab with AMD's new six-core Phenom II X6 processor. That chip alone can't save this system from tough competition among midranged gaming PCs, but if the Vybe isn't the best all-around PC at this price, it has some impressive gaming chops. Just be prepared to make a few sacrifices along the way.
Maingear's Shift is the boutique vendor's new flagship gaming PC. It brings almost everything we expect to find in such a system, from expert craftsmanship to fast overclocking to a case that makes a statement. We found a few minor sticking points, but, on the whole, this PC sits comfortably alongside the top tier of luxury gaming boxes, and we recommend it if you have the means.
With few limitations and strong value in its enthusiast category, Maingear's expertly built, impressively fast Vybe Super Stock earns an Editors' Choice Award.
Pricing not available
We hate to criticize PCs that strive to balance performance and power efficiency, because the goal is noble. But despite its visual charm, Maingear's Pulse requires too many speed compromises to entice PC gamers, and too few benefits over a competing system from HP. Its base configuration may have some appeal as a digital entertainment system, but this higher-end Pulse needs the core technology to catch up to its aspirations.
The handsome new Maingear Vybe Super Stock offers everything we like to see in a modern gaming PC, and we'd recommend it particularly to those looking for a well-rounded performance computer.

Part 1: AppFabric Caching and SharePoint: Concepts and ExamplesPart 2: AppFabric Caching (and SharePoint): Configuration and Deployment
To assist with scaling and performance, SharePoint 2013 utilizes Windows Server AppFabric to maintain an in-memory cache of frequently-used data. While this in-memory cache achieves its goals and does improve scalability, it also adds another service to maintain to SharePoint's long list of supporting elements. In this article I'll summarize and distill information on AppFabric from across MSDN and TechNet and add a SharePoint tinge to it to help you prepare for and manage SharePoint's Distributed Cache service.
If you're an AppFabric admin, there's a lot of detail here that will help you as well. Just view SharePoint's AppFabric cluster and caches as an example of an AppFabric implementation.
We'll begin with the fundamentals to ensure we all share the same basic understandings.
As I said, we'll start with the fundamentals :). A cache is a local, non-authoritative copy of data created and/or stored authoritatively elsewhere. Because retrieval of the data from its authoritative source is an expensive operation, instead of retrieving it freshly each time it's needed, previous copies of the data are retained and used for subsequent needs.
Reasons to avoid the authoritative operation include:
It's important to call out that in all cases of caching, the expense of generating or retrieving the authoritative data is traded for greater memory requirements where the data is cached. Either RAM (short term) or hard disk (long term) memory will need to be allocated for the data.
The defining characteristic of a cache is that it isn't the authoritative source of the data. This leads to some important ramifications:
Having discussed shared characteristics of all caches, let's discuss some of SharePoint's caching mechanisms.
Caches abound in SharePoint – from disk-based caches of data from databases, to in-memory caches of processed queries and pages, to caches of properties retrieved from internal and external services. The Distributed Cache service in SharePoint and its AppFabric underpinnings are just one example of a SharePoint cache. To emphasize this point, let's begin by discussing some caches that have been around in SharePoint for a little while already.
Some common SharePoint caches include the BLOB cache, the ASP.NET page output cache, and the User Profile Service properties cache. We'll describe them one by one to help you understand caches and their implications better.
Or Binary Large Object Cache. My wife always perks up when I bring up the cash blobs in SharePoint, at least till I start explaining them. If you're reading this, you're more interested in knowing that when a user requests a byte-stream object in SharePoint, such as a document or an image, and the item is retrieved from a SQL database to be sent to the user, the BLOB cache stores this object on the local file system of web servers. This avoids the need to retrieve the data from SQL again for subsequent requests for the same object.
Using this familiar example, let's call out some of the advantages and disadvantages of the Blob Cache.
Now let's move on to the ASP.NET Page Output Cache.
Another well-known cache in SharePoint is the ASP.NET Page Output cache, which is actually a standard ASP.NET feature. It provides a good example of an in-memory cache designed to save processing power. Every incoming HTTP request causes activity and requires CPU cycles for ASP.NET's HTTP handlers. The Page Output cache allows the results of this activity to be stored and re-used, avoiding the need for repeated processing of identical or similar requests. While for a request or two the performance gains may be small, for sites processing hundreds or thousands of requests, avoiding repeated processing saves a lot of resources and vastly improves scalability.
Let's call out advantages and disadvantages of the Page Output cache.
Let's go through one more example of a cache in SharePoint, one which probably is not so familiar.
User Profile Service Application (UPA) Proxies retrieve configuration details from their associated UPAs and databases and cache those details in several per-process in-memory caches. Settings stored in these caches include the URLs for MySite portals, Following limits, UPA sync configuration (e.g. whether to sync inactive users), and Newsfeed settings, among many others. Details such as the expiration time span (TTL) and max size for these caches can be viewed with the following PowerShell commands:
PS:> $UPAProxy = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | ? TypeName -Match 'User Profile Service Application Proxy'PS:> $UPAProxy.Parent
The UPA proxy configuration settings caches are examples of caches meant to save the latency of network trips. After retrieving these properties from the associated UPA once, the UPA Proxy continues to rely on them for a period of time instead of requesting them again.
With UPA configuration details, being aware of the potential for stale data is important. For example, by default the Application Properties cache, which stores key configuration details for the UPA, only refreshes every 5 minutes. So if, for example, you configure your User Profile Sync job to sync inactive as well as active users (via stsadm –o sync –ignoreisactive), the setting may not be reflected in the cached properties for up to 5 minutes. If you have encountered situations where "IgnoreIsActive" didn't seem to be having an effect, perhaps you ran sync too soon after changing the property.
This concludes our presentation of three typical caches and how they're used in SharePoint. In the following table, I've also highlighted where the cached data is stored. We'll focus on this aspect of caches next.
Authoritative Source
Conserved Resource
Cache Location
BLOB Cache
Content Databases
SQL Requests (over network)
WFE Disk Drive
ASP.NET Page Output Cache
Processed ASP.NET Requests
CPU Usage (on WFE)
Web Process memory
UPA Settings Caches
UPA Web Services
WCF Requests (over network)
By caching and reusing data, the consuming service subsequently saves the resources otherwise required to produce or retrieve that data again. But the scope of those savings depends on where the cached data is stored and what other elements of the service can access it. In each of the examples in the previous section, the scope of the cache is not service-wide. Not every element of the consuming service has access to the cached data; that is, not every process in the SharePoint farm has equal access to cached items. For the BLOB cache, only processes running on the same server that originally retrieved the BLOBs can access the cache; other servers still need to make a full SQL request and acquire the authoritative data. For the page output cache, each web process instance needs to generate the page once before being able to serve it, and cannot rely on the output page cache from other processes. And for the UPA settings cache, each web or service process which instantiates the UPA proxy needs to refill its own process-local caches.
The impact and resource savings of caching data can be scaled by expanding the scope of access to the cached data. If the processed ASP.NET page were accessible to all web worker processes in the farm, for example, many additional processing runs would be avoided, saving CPU cycles. In addition, if a single processed and cached copy of the page could be made easily accessible across the farm, memory needs would be reduced as well. Since in fact the output cache is per process, each process must process the request at least once (more CPU cycles required), and each process must allocate its own memory for the output page (more RAM required).
To address the need for wider scope and centralized storage of caches and cached items, centralized cache services are deployed. Instead of individual servers and processes retrieving and storing cached items locally and internally, they store them (and sometimes even retrieve them) via a centralized cache service. As a result, other servers and processes in the environment can access and benefit from the same cached data. To increase the scalability, availability, and redundancy of these cache services, they are usually deployed as distributed services, where multiple servers and processes present a single unified interface for storing and retrieving cached data. Sound familiar? We've just described the role and purpose of the AppFabric Caching Service, or in SharePoint-specific parlance, the Distributed Cache Service.
To state it again explicitly, the role of the AppFabric Caching Service (in SharePoint: the Distributed Cache Service) is to provide a centralized, widely-accessible service for storage of cached data items. This central service improves performance and scalability of many SharePoint processes by multiplying the benefits of caching across all of SharePoint's servers and processes.
We'll clarify the role of a centralized, distributed cache service by describing the data stored in some of SharePoint's caches.
You can get a list of the distributed cache types used in SharePoint by running the following PowerShell command:
[Enum]::GetNames( [Microsoft.SharePoint.DistributedCaching. Utilities.SPDistributedCacheContainerType])
The caches available as of this writing (March 2013) are listed in the following table. We'll focus here on just two of them for now: the LogonToken and ViewState caches.
The LogonToken cache is the one you're likely to encounter first both practically, since it's used as soon as you hit your first SharePoint site, and in preparing for SharePoint deployment, since it obviates the need for affinity (sticky sessions) for WFE requests.
The process of logging on to SharePoint always culminates in creation of a session token which contains key details about the user, such as his or her username. Whether initial authentication uses Windows auth, Forms auth, or a SAML token issued by an external identity provider, the final result is this session token. To avoid the multiple steps involved in getting to this token, after it's created during initial logon, it's cached. Prior to SharePoint 2013, this cache was a server-local cache.
Having read the previous sections, you'll know that a cache which is stored locally to each server has the disadvantage of requiring the authentication process to be repeated again at other servers. Depending on the situation, this could result in a) a small performance hit, as in regeneration of a Windows-based token; b) more evident delays, as in the WS-Federation redirects for external identity providers; or c) additional user prompts and interference, such as requiring the user to choose an identity provider and provide credentials again. To get around these issues, a common practice was to limit sessions to interaction with a single web server, where the necessary session token was guaranteed to be cached on first logon.
In SharePoint 2013, session security tokens are stored centrally in the Distributed Cache Service's Logon Token cache. This cache and its tokens are thereby accessible across the farm, to all WFEs. As a result, after a user initially logs on to a SharePoint farm, they can hit any web server without the problems and penalties described in the previous paragraph. The web server uses the user's Windows identity or session cookie to find and use the session security token in the cache.
Since we've introduced the logon token cache here, let's discuss an additional element relevant to it.
The distributed logon token cache is useful, but you likely have concerns. First, if the Distributed Cache Service isn't running properly, the logon process and all access to the farm could be completely broken. Second, even if it's running properly, retrieving cached data from a remote cache service takes a bit longer than retrieving it from a local cache, and first logon is a time when this is particularly conspicuous.
To address these concerns, in addition to the distributed logon token cache, there's a complementary local logon token cache on each WFE. This is also known as the "Weak Reference Cache" because of the way it stores cached tokens. As long as the weak reference cache is enabled, as it is by default, logon tokens are cached in both the distributed cache and the local weak reference cache. When cached tokens are to be retrieved, first the weak reference cache is checked, and only if nothing is found there is the distributed cache checked.
The distributed logon token cache can be cleared with the Clear-SPDistributedCacheItem –ContainerType DistributedLogonTokenCache command. The local logon token cache can only be cleared by recycling the process where it's contained (e.g. the w3wp process).
There are two registry values which control use of the Distributed and Local (WeakRef) caches. They're both under HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\15.0\WSS, and are both DWORDs which default to 0 (false) if not specified. They are as follows: DisableWeakRefCacheForToken DisableDistributedCacheForToken
Note: I'm not advocating changing these values under any circumstances in a production environment. Please contact Microsoft Global Business Support if you need assistance.
Key properties related to the logon token caches and their default values are listed here:
PS:> Get-SPSecurityTokenServiceConfig | Format-List *LogonToken*,*WindowsToken*MaxLogonTokenCacheItems : 250MaxLogonTokenOptimisticCacheItems : 100000LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow : 00:10:00WindowsTokenLifetime : 10:00:00
MaxLogonTokenOptimisticCacheItems defines how many tokens are kept in the local Weak Reference cache, and MaxLogonTokenCacheItems specifies how many of these are stored as strong references instead of only weak references (details on weak references are available here). LogonTokenCacheExpirationWindow specifies how close to expiration tokens are considered to already be expired. So by default, tokens are considered expired 10 minutes prior to actual expiration time. Finally, WindowsTokenLifetime is used to set the Time-To-Live in the distributed logon token cache for cached security tokens of all types (not just Windows-bootstrapped tokens).
With these details in mind you should be better equipped to deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot the logon token caches. Let's describe the usage and benefit of one other distributed cache, and then we'll dive into details of the cache system itself.
ASP.NET Web Forms maintain state between requests in a session using View State. Towards the end of the page processing lifecycle, details about the page's state are serialized and added to the HTML to be sent to the browser as a hidden form field. When the browser posts back to the server on subsequent requests, it includes the hidden View State form field (named __VIEWSTATE). The server uses the posted back view state to rehydrate state from previously processed requests, creating the illusion of a stateful session across multiple stateless HTTP requests. ViewState has been around for a while and there are many articles available on it; here's a good one if you'd like a quick review. A drawback of the ASP.NET ViewState system has always been the extra data transferred to the browser and back to the server on each response and subsequent request, which can reach the tens of kilobytes.
SharePoint is built on ASP.NET Web Forms and as such is dependent on ViewState and its attendant drawbacks. To improve page performance, beginning in SharePoint 2013 SharePoint caches ViewState data server-side rather than transferring it back and forth to clients. In the previously linked article, pay particular attention to the section on specifying where to persist the view state. In that section, an example is presented of caching ViewState data server side by storing it in the web server's local file system.
SharePoint's system is similar to that presented in the article, but such a server-specific scope would lead to some of the problems discussed previously for the old logon token cache system: subsequent requests would have to be routed to the same server where ViewState was originally cached. So instead SharePoint uses the same mechanism, but persists ViewState data to the distributed ViewState cache, sending only a GUID to the browser. Compare the __VIEWSTATE hidden form field from a SharePoint 2010 page to that from a SharePoint 2013 page, and you'll see that only a Base64-encoded GUID remains.
ViewState data in a SharePoint 2010 page (the large field).
ViewState data in SharePoint 2013 (the last input field).
Where did all that data go? The actual ViewState data is stored in and loaded from the distributed ViewState cache, with entries for specific sessions keyed by the GUID passed back and forth from the browser. Use of this cache is governed by the SPWebService.ViewStateOnServer property, which can be accessed via these commands:
PS:> $ContentService = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService]::ContentServicePS:> $ContentService.ViewStateOnServer
These descriptions of the distributed Logon Token Cache and distributed View State Cache will help you recognize why a distributed cache service is helpful along with some of the performance and scalability advantages it presents. Now let's move on to discuss the distributed cache service itself.
Continue with AppFabric Caching (and SharePoint) (2).
Excellent Article
Awesome.... Josh... Great work... :)
Great article Josh!
Thanks a lot awesome article, this is the only article out there that explains all Sharepoint Cache's. But what about Object Cache?
Excellent information! Thanks a lot.
Gold mine....Great Article...helped me to understand caching inside-out.
Can the Distribtued Cache be turned off and SP2013 still run? It seems the security tokens will still be cached by the WeakRef cache. What happens to View State is the Distributed Cache is turned off?
Nice. Very informative
Great article with good explanation :-)
Excellent and well Detailed
The view state cache was deprecated in august 2014, so it no longer exists.

So yep I had breast cancer. I wrote stuff down. It started out as a journal for me. Turned into a story for my family. Grew into a manuscript for a book. Morphed into a blog for sharing.
|My Mommy & I - 1967
Hi Tracy,
I'm enjoying your blog (not sure if enjoying is the right word, perhaps appreciating is better). It's very well written (no surprise) and well presented. Having gone through a similar experience, it really brings things back to me. And I do appreciate that because as you know, the experience really is life changing and it's certainly not something that I eventually want to forget (well some parts maybe). Time and life move you forward, away from the past, but somethings shouldn't be forgotten because they have a wonderful ability to make us appreciate so much more.
Thanks for taking the time to share and reminding me!
Hi Walter! Thanks so much for your comments. I know that you can relate and you are so right about the ability of these experiences to help us appreciate things so much more. I am so glad you are reading these and I am very happy that you are experiencing continued good health. Take care of your lovely wife and beautiful kids! Think of you often.

Wolcott Frisbie School took the time to honor veterans
Last year, Congress passed a law allowing veterans to salute when the Pledge of Allegiance is recited, the national anthem is sung or played, and when the American flag passes.
As a veteran, I would like to give a salute to Frisbie School in Wolcott, the elementary school my grandson, Anthony, attends. On Nov. 16, Frisbie School put on a Veterans Day program to honor area veterans. It was such a wonderful event! The time and work the students and staff put into this production was overwhelming. To say it was a job well done is an understatement!
I would like to thank everyone involved. I know that all of the veterans, myself included, were honored to be included. We would like to commend Frisbie principal Joseph Norcross, Mayor Thomas G. Dunn, and all the teachers, and especially, the students of Frisbie Elementary School.

Digging At LA Plaza, New Mexican American Cultural Center Downtown, Comes To A Stop: Blame Dem Bones
Critics had a bone to pick with LA Plaza.
Jennifer Jaimes
The 2.22-acre "LA Plaza" downtown is supposed to be "the nation's premier center of Mexican American culture and arts" when it opens in spring. But right now it's the center of a controversy involving ... bones.
The remains could belong to people buried in the city's first cemetery, and critics have said the public project wasn't doing it right: They said that, under state law, descendants of the dead need to be tracked down and told where their forebears were being moved.
Now excavation for that part of the Plaza has been put on hold.
Miguel Angel Corzo, CEO of LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes, said this on Friday:
"We at LA Plaza have decided to halt work on the former camposanto area of our campus indefinitely, in light of the unexpected number of human remains uncovered and their great historical significance. From the moment we discovered human remains on our site, we have conducted the necessary archaeological excavation in strict accordance with the law, all professional archaeological and osteological standards, and in communication with the Los Angeles Archdiocese, the Native American Heritage Commission, and the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner. At this time, however, we believe it is in the best interest of both LA Plaza and the larger community to put this section of our project on hold."
The Plaza, championed by county Supervisor Gloria Molina for 10 years, is going up adjacent to historic Olvera Street.
It will include a cultural center, historic exhibitions and highlights on Mexican Americans' role in the development of L.A. It's being funded by the county and private donations.
Corzo said work will still be done at LA Plaza, just not in the "camposanto" area.

text: Hi, i've had my mare for a year now, have only been riding since January though, due to gaining trust and building her up as she was very poor and badly treated. She is a brilliant mare and we are going for longer outings now. My question is this, yes she sweats under her saddle and girth area but she never gets sweaty on her neck, all horses I have had and ridden in the past always sweat all over if hot and after exercise, to be fair most horses I have had in the past are bigger built (irish draught x/ clydes x etc,) and my mare is quite a fine trotterxstandardbred, am being paranoid about nothing and just underestimating her fitness? Or could it possibly be a gland problem?
