Like most computer programs, Revit has many user configurable settings and options. Many of the settings are configured optimally out of the box from the factory, and probably don't need to be changed by most users. So there are several settings that you at least want to understand why they are set the way they are and possibly consider making changes to them. To do these kinds of changes, we look in the Options dialog box, and we can find that from the Application menu, which again, is the big R button in the top corner of the screen, and Options way down here toward the bottom of the menu. When we do, this dialog will appear.
So here in the General tab, in the very first area, we have our Save reminders. Now if you've used a computer program for a while, you know how important it is to save. The Save reminder gives us an opportunity for Revit to remind us every so often to save our file, if we have not done so ready, and the increments that are available are as few as 15 minutes and all the way up to 4 hours, or even No reminders. Now clearly, No reminders I would not recommend, unless you are very confident in your ability to remember to save. 15 minutes may be a little too frequently and a little disruptive, because the Save reminder will pop up and interrupt your work.
30 minutes is the default, which is not a bad choice, and I would definitely recommend starting at least there. Getting much beyond that: 1 hour, 2 hours, I'll you what I tell all my other students: How much work are you willing to loose? That's basically how I would set this number. So I am going to leave it at 30 minutes. I'm going to recommend you do the same. If you want to be extra cautious, you can go down to 15 minutes. Let's take a look at a couple of quick things on the User Interface tab. If you're interested, there are actually two versions of the theme, Light and Dark, and so you can play with those and see how those appeal to you.
I'm going to come back and talk about the keyboard shortcuts in just a moment, but we have a few other settings down here that we can take a look at. This area is pretty important. When you are working in the environment, the tabs on the Ribbon will either stay on the Modify tab, or they will return to whatever previous tab you were working in. Now I think the defaults here are actually pretty good, the return to previous tab for the project environment, and in fact when we talk about the family editor in a future chapter, you may want to come back here and actually set that behavior here as well.
To have Revit continually go back to the Modify tab, I find a little disruptive. So you could be working in the environment, you click on something, you make a modification, and then you're on the Home tab, and then it jumps over to the Modify tab. I don't really care for that. So I do prefer the return to previous tab and actually, like I said, I prefer it in both cases. So I am going to make that change here, and I'll remind you of that when we talk about families in the Family chapter. Now you may have noticed the tooltips already in your work in Revit.
The default behavior is Normal, and if I open this up, there are actually 4 choices. I think None is pretty self-explanatory, but let's talk about Minimal and High. So I am going to click OK here, and even without a project open, I can actually click on one of the Ribbon tabs and expand it, and pause my mouse over a tool, and I am going to pause just over the Wall tool. Now you notice how the tooltip was small and gave a little bit of information, and then as I waited a little longer with my mouse in the same location, it expanded and gave this larger tooltip and showed a graphic along with it.
The first version of the tooltip, this one, is what you would see in Minimal, and the second version, the one that just appeared, that's what you'd see in High. When you set it to Normal, like the default, that's when it does both. It starts off Minimal, and then it goes to High after a pause. So you can choose whichever one appeals to you. If you're just getting started in Revit, I recommend leaving the tooltips set on and set to one of those three choices. I am not too concerned whether you do Minimal or High, but just that you do have tooltips enabled, because there is a lot of really useful information in here.
So get in the habit of reading these tooltips. When you become a more seasoned Revit user, and you don't really feel like you need the extra tooltips anymore, you can certainly go in to Options at that time, click on User Interface, and change it to None, if you no longer want to see the tooltips. Now there is one other really useful thing that we want to know on the tooltips, and it ties back to this item here, Keyboard Shortcuts. So let me cancel out of here one more time. Let me go over here and pause over this. Notice right next to the word Wall, in parentheses, it says (WA). That's the keyboard shortcut for the Wall tool.
So to demonstrate that actually, I can just kind of click and create a new empty project. That's not really important because I am not actually really going to draw anything, but I just want to show you how this works. Certainly if I click the Wall tool, I would create a wall. But I am going to press Escape and get out of there. If I type the letters wa on my keyboard, notice that does exactly the same thing. If I type the letters dr, that changes me to the Door tool. If I type the letters wn, okay, that changes me to the Window tool, and so on.
Now I am going to press Escape to cancel of there. So as you pause over each tool, if it has a tooltip, they are going to appear there in parentheses. Now I highly encourage you to learn the tooltips, to pay attention to those, and to get used to using them, because it can greatly enhance your productivity, and anybody who has used Revit for a while will swear by the keyboard shortcuts. Now this is a relatively new enhancement in the software, new in 2011, where we can actually customize the keyboard shortcuts in a dialog box interface. So you can use this tool for two things.
I'm not actually a huge fan of customizing them, okay so again you click here, and it brings this second window up, but this can actually be a really handy tool to find out if a keyboard shortcut exists for something. Like if I wasn't sure if the Railing Command had a keyboard shortcut, I can just type in the Search box here and see if it does. And you'll notice that Railing is listed here as a command, but there's no shortcut associated with it. If I want to change that, I could actually press the keys here and assign a shortcut to the Railing command here on the fly.
So depending on how frequently you envision making Railings, and how useful you think it might be to have a Railing shortcut, you could go through with that modification. If I click the little x, it'll clear that, and you'll see the whole list again. So as you scroll through here, this is another way where you can see all the shortcuts that are available for the various commands. So more than using it as a customization tool, which is certainly what it's designed for, it can be a great educational tool for you to learn what the shortcuts are for the commands that you use most frequently.
So I highly recommend that you do that and get comfortable with what those shortcuts are. The last thing I want to point out to you here in the Options dialog is on the File Locations, and this is actually a little bit more important, maybe to your CAD Manager if you have a CAD manager in your office. But you should at least be aware that these paths exist, so when we click over here, there's three locations here that are kind of important. The first one is the template file. In the background, when I click the New command, it opened a drawing for me.
It opened a project file for me, and it didn't really ask me any questions about that project file. It automatically used this file right here, this Revit template file, as the default. Now in a coming movie, we are going to talk about template files in a little more detail. So we will get an opportunity to discuss that, but that's where that came from. This is the default location where it will save files if I don't give it another location. So by default, it's my Documents folder. And then when you get into families, there's also templates for that. So it's kind of important to understand that these paths exist and that you can customize them, but again, I would check with your CAD manager first, if you have such an individual at your organization.
So that's just a brief look at some of the settings that are overall settings in the Revit project environment, some of the things that I think you should get comfortable with, and at least know they are there. So again, don't forget to set your Save reminders, learn those keyboard shortcuts, and you are going to find that those things are going to make it very useful for you to not only preserve your work and not loose anything, but to also be a little more productive with the way you execute the commands.

Creating a poem in a social media platform restricted to 140 characters. Writing in an electronic medium with hyperlinks that take the reader to non-linear stories. Interacting with published authors and poets at the annual Eudora Welty Writers' Symposium. These are some of the ways in which 11 graduate students in the university's new master of fine arts in creative writing are expanding their skills, their thinking, and their professional prospects.
Not only was Mississippi University for Women senior Ashley Morgan able to mark her 20th birthday at 20,000 feet in the air, she was also able to celebrate it in a place where turning 20 is like being a rock star.
Before boarding the plane, all Sarah Lewis could think was 'I should have practiced the kisses.'
The senior from Starkville had previously traveled all over the United States and Vancouver, but she was about to embark on her first journey across the pond. With Spain on her ticket, she was about to spend almost a month in a new city, at a new school and with a new family.
When it comes to Mississippi University for Women's master of fine arts in physical theatre, it probably doesn't get much better than studying in the city of Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy.
It started in September 2012 with listening. A lot of it. Six campus dialogue sessions, facilitated by Pensacola-based branding and communications firm idgroup, provided insights into how stakeholders view The W and what they value about the university. Some very important messages emerged.
On May 9, Daysha Humphrey will proudly walk across the stage of Rent Auditorium to accept her degree in communication.

Airbus appears to be serious about its "Vahana" project, aimed at creating an autonomous passenger drone network, and thinks testing can begin as early as 2017. [...] Airbus is also working on a drone delivery service [...] and plans to start testing it at a Singapore university by mid-2017. The cargo-laden vehicles fly automated routes in "aerial corridors," then drop them off and send delivery notifications to customers.

Airbus engineers are dreaming up no small endeavor as laid out in the company's Future of Urban Mobility vision:

"Imagine landing at a major international airport after a long flight in an A380. Instead of suffering through a 90-minute taxi ride in the megacity's gridlocked traffic, you hop into an electrically operated aerial vehicle from zenHOP, which brings you to your destination – landing on your chosen zenHUB – in just nine minutes. Too expensive? No, zenMOVE has found three other travellers who also want to get to the city centre. As a result, the flight costs no more than a taxi ride. On top of that, no need to worry about your luggage – zenLUGGAGE takes care of that – or your security, as zenCYBER protects your flight against hacker attacks."

Make no mistake: Drones are coming, and they're going to change a lot of things about how we shape our lives. So why shouldn't we change how we shape our buildings to get ready for them? [...] That's the basis for my Drone Tower, which would look like a futuristic condo building, with large balconies built to accommodate small electric aircraft or shipping drones. You wouldn't need to buy your own drone, you'd simply order a ride with an app like a taxi—and hop in right from your terrace.

In any city, space is a commodity. In South African cities space is historical and emotional. A new photo series by an American living in Cape Town captures the dramatic inequality of South Africa's most beloved city. From an aerial view, Cape Town's scenic beauty gives way to a stark reminder of the country's past and the continued racial segregation. [...] "Looking straight down from a height of several hundred meters, incredible scenes of inequality emerge," he writes on his website.

On his website, Unequal Scenes, the creator of the aerial imagery, Johnny Miller, writes:

"Discrepancies in how people live are sometimes hard to see from the ground. The beauty of being able to fly is to see things from a new perspective - to see things as they really are. Looking straight down from a height of several hundred meters, incredible scenes of inequality emerge. Some communities have been expressly designed with separation in mind, and some have grown more or less organically."

"During apartheid, segregation of urban spaces was instituted as policy. Roads, rivers, "buffer zones" of empty land, and other barriers were constructed and modified to keep people separate. 22 years after the end of apartheid, many of these barriers, and the inequalities they have engendered, still exist. Oftentimes, communities of extreme wealth and privilege will exist just meters from squalid conditions and shack dwellings."

A drone skyscraper has been proposed by designers Hadeel Ayed Mohammed, Yifeng Zhao and Chengda Zhu that acts as a central control terminal for drones to dock and recharge, situated in the heart of Manhattan. The 'dronescraper', dubbed 'the hive' has been proposed as an alternative to Rafael Vinoy's 432 Park Avenue superstructure, which is set to become the tallest residential tower in the western hemisphere.

The skyscraper has been undergoing some significant design reconceptualizations lately. Here's a round-up of the most interesting takes:

The idea behind the Chinese-built 184 is that users will simply get in, power it up, select their destination using a 12-inch touchscreen tablet display, then press the 'take-off' button. The drone's automated flight systems will take over from there, managing tasks such as communication with air traffic control and other aircraft, obstacle avoidance, and of course navigation...

Self-driving cars, self-driving bikes, the Hyperloop slowly becoming a reality, what's next for urban mobility? Self-driving passenger drones, of course. Smart-drone enterprise Ehang unveiled a single-seat, battery-powered Autonomous Aerial Vehicle (AAV) called the Ehang 184 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The quadcopter was built for short-to-medium-distance personal transit, and users won't need a piloting license to operate it. Apparently, it'll be commercially available later this year for $200,000-$300,000, Gizmag writes. If this technology really *ahem* takes off, the FAA will surely have a field day regulating it.

Starting on Monday, individuals who own recreational drones will have to register their devices with the Federal Aviation Administration. The mandatory registration program applies to drones that weigh between 0.55 and 55 pounds.

According to the report, drones that were purchased before yesterday have to be registered by February 19th, 2016. If you buy a drone in the future, then you'll have to register it before flying it for the first time.

If you don't, prepare to pay a steep fine: up to $27,500. That being said, registration is only $5 and you can do it online. If you register within 30 days of the law going into effect (on Jan. 20), then the fee will be waived. It's pretty much a no-brainer.

These magnanimous drones, themselves having no need for a footbridge, build a suspension bridge for their human underlings in the Flying Machine Arena laboratory of ETH Zurich.

...From seemingly out of nowhere, a large quad-rotor drone drops out the cloudless sky over Dubai Internet City, hovering insect-like just above the heads of the men, watching them with camera-eyes. Before they can even notice, a squad of policemen – wearing helmets, body armour, and carrying assault rifles – rush them... Welcome to Dubai, and to one of the more awkward moments of an already odd competition called Drones For Good. We're here to watch teams compete for a million-dollar prize...

Apple's "spaceship" campus continues to be a hotspot for drones to film the project gradually coming to life. One of those drones belongs to Silicon Valley-based photographer/videographer Duncan Sinfield, who posted a new video today showing the latest additions to the campus. As Sinfield pilots his DJI Inspire 1 over the construction site, the resulting video is intermittently overlapped by flashback footage that was shot exactly one month ago for some rough comparisons. Adding a somewhat surreal vibe, the late Steve Jobs "narrates" the footage as he describes the campus to the Cupertino City Council in a 2011 clip.

Check out the video right below.

Verizon, the US's largest wireless telecom company, is developing technology with Nasa to direct and monitor America's growing fleet of civilian and commercial drones from its network of phone towers. According to documents obtained by the Guardian, Verizon signed an agreement last year with Nasa "to jointly explore whether cell towers … could support communications and surveillance of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) at low altitudes".

Currently, the Federal Aviation Authority doesn't have recourse to adequate resources or personnel to monitor rapidly-increasing drone traffic. Nasa's new unmanned aircraft traffic management system hopes to be able to enable "safe low-altitude drone flights" soon. By partnering with Verizon, they would be able to take advantage of the nation's largest provider of cellphone service. As Missy Cummings, professor of aeronautics at Duke University states, "We can already track phones like crazy...[so the plan is] a nice alternative to saturating an already broken air traffic control system."

We have new technologies in architecture those makes us feel excited when we see them applied on a facade, a roof etc. or simply used for designing. That gives us ideas about what we can design with which technologies. And we honestly believe that designing a building with high ecologic qualities is the only responsibility we have. In most of the cases that's correct. But do you really not responsible what happens while that building is being constructed.

In a construction site thousands of vehicles brings you materials. Those lorries, trucks etc. are not eco-friendly at all! You construct support structures only to construct the main thing and you say you can recycle those. Recycling is a good deed but the process itself has lots of disadvantages like unsafe and unhygienic recycling sites, and the recycled materials starts to have a shorter lifespan. And do you have any excuse of having people work on dangerous construction sites, especially when you construct a skyscraper! Even tho...

For the latest edition of Deans List: Amelia Taylor-Hochberg, Editorial Manager interviewed Monica Ponce de Leon of University of Michigan's Taubman College.

 Therein, Professor Ponce de Leon admits she hates branding and describes how/why the school has "purposefully taken out of the curriculum courses that are specifically geared towards skill-building, in order to open up more space within the curriculum for critical thinking".

Will Galloway was impressed "great comments from Ponce de Leon. I'd only hear her name before. Definitely a fan, now".

Despite its odd appearance, the Gimball is the first collision-tolerant drone that could prove itself useful in a variety of applications, from everyday tasks to hazardous situations. Designed by Flyability, the Gimball recently won a $1 million prize in the UAE's Drones for Good international competition, which aims to transform emerging drone technologies into practical solutions to improve everyday living.

The Gimball's most outlandish feature is its strength. The drone's spherical lightweight cage enables it to bounce off obstacles and roll on any surface to keep itself stable in complex environments or indoor settings. It can also safely fly in close contact around humans while operating, thus making it possibly useful for tasks like delivering goods or becoming a potential aid for first-responders in emergency conditions like post-disaster search and rescue.

Equipped with an HD camera, the Gimball can be used as a safer alternative in conducting inspections in industrial facilit...

In 2006, the doors of the Hearst Tower were swung open for business. The design of starchitect Norman Foster, the building was one of the most cutting-edge of its time, lauded for its diagrid form, its green construction, and the then-radical approach of marrying the old with the new... Now, a decade later, Foster has returned to the Hearst Tower to mark its anniversary and reflect on his creation.

Birds have remarkable flight capabilities...They make it look effortless, but engineering a drone to do the same is anything but. It's a major engineering feat to harness the evolutionary talents of a bird and translate them into a robot that can deliver packages to your doorstep. By understanding how birds have mastered the ability to swoop and dive, [Stanford professor David] Lentink and his team [of mechanical engineers] hope to inform microdrone design.

Similar to biomimicry (and its correspondent field of architectural thinking), bio-inspired design takes it cues from biological systems, although it entails simplification, enhancement and non-mimetic adaptation of observed phenomena rather than replication. Bio-inspired robotics, specifically, is a rather new field, although its origins can be traced back to the earliest engineering projects. For example, Leonardo Da Vinci famously studied birds, in particular kites, when he drew out plans for wings that could enable human flight.

The US military is a major player in the field of bio-inspired robotics. In 2011, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) released images of its own hummingbird-inspired drones, pictured above. Manufactured by AeroVironment the Nano Air Vehicle  is capable of flying along three axes of motion as well as hovering in mid-air. Equipped with a small camera, the 19 gram drone is small enough to surveil without attracting much attention.

It was only a matter of time before someone saw the commercial potential of drones. Their compact size and swift mobility makes them ideal vehicles for transporting goods and information around the crowded streets of a city. Amazon has recently been testing the potential for drone deliveries, but Russian creative agency Hungry Boys' campaign has brought a new dimension to both advertising and drone use.

In just a few minutes I was hooked. . . The photos and video were stunning. By assuming unusual vantage points, the drone allowed me to "see" so much more of my surroundings than usual. [The view] would have otherwise been impossible without the use of a private plane, helicopter, or balloon. With any of those vehicles, I would have needed a telephoto lens, and all of them would have made an unacceptable commotion on the beach. What's more, I would not have been in the photos!

Purveyor of all things "Good", Martha Stewart has added her two color-coded cents to the debate on drones in a nearly gleeful op-ed for TIME magazine. Titled "Why I Love My Drone", Stewart gushes about her new "useful tool" and marvels at how large-scale planning projects like Chateau de Versailles and the Great Wall of China were accomplished without such imaging technology. Seeing aerial views of her private farm, she's tickled by its resemblance to her Peter Rabbit-themed Easter cakes.

Stewart's approach to drone photography is craftily optimistic, and while she recognizes the grave implications of militarized drone technology, she's not going to wrinkle her dinner napkin wringing her hands over it. But Stewart's adoption of the drone is a strong sign of the technology's mainstream commercial appeal. Professional photographers, filmmakers, real estate developers and architects have embraced the drone's utility for affording new, choreographed views (even if the law hasn't). The dr...

- "It's been quite a boon looking like a child. No one ever suspects a thing."
- ―Babette[src]
Babette is a Breton vampire and, as a member of the Dark Brotherhood, she also functions as a merchant of potions and ingredients, as well as being a master trainer of Alchemy.
At the age of ten, Babette was bitten by a vampire, becoming one herself. She has lived over three hundred years as one, and boasts about how her innocent appearance makes killing easier. Due to her age, it can be inferred that she was alive during the Oblivion Crisis of 3E 433.
In the Falkreath Sanctuary, she sells potions and alchemy items. Babette has more gold than the typical alchemist. She is always available for Alchemy training. Money Babette receives as a skill trainer is added to her available funds to buy things as a merchant. Babette cannot be pickpocketed or harmed in any way because she has the body of a child.
After Death Incarnate
She, along with the Dragonborn, Nazir, and Cicero (if he was not killed in the earlier quest "The Cure for Madness") are the only members of the Dark Brotherhood to survive the Penitus Oculatus attack on the Sanctuary. As such, she moves to the Dawnstar Sanctuary and continues selling potions.
In Dawnguard, Babette becomes a random encounter, found wandering the wilderness of Skyrim in search of a "snack." If asked if she is hunting she may remark that, while they cook at the Sanctuary, she has "more refined tastes." If Auriel's Bow is used to block out the sun, she comments on it, saying, "The tyranny of the sun is over!" and, "It's our time, now." She also says some of the standard NPC lines, such as, "The sky is all wrong."
- After completing the Dark Brotherhood questline, two Daedra Hearts can be purchased from her in the Dawnstar Sanctuary.
- Babette sells one Nirnroot and two Deathbells every two days. These ingredients are useful for Ingun Black-Briar's task.
- Death Incarnate – assist Brotherhood members in the fight against the Penitus Oculatus assault.
- "You looking to buy some potions? Or maybe I could help train you to make your own?"
- "My targets make the mistake of not perceiving me as a threat. Last mistake they ever make."
- "I can brew some potions for you. Or train you in alchemy."
- "Have a good contract."
- "It's as rewarding as it is dangerous. Let's see what I can show you."- when asked for alchemy training
- "Yes - don't kill the Gourmet! Oh, I know you have to, but it makes me sad all the same. I love Gourmet's recipes. The world will soon be a blander, less flavorful place."- when asked for advice for their Gourmet contract
- "I'm just a little girl! The Dark Brotherhood killed my mama and papa, and then they took me captive! Please, please help me! Rather convincing, don't you think? In truth, I'm no more a little girl than you are. I was once, of course. Three hundred years ago. Vampirism tends to keep one remarkably... fresh."- when asked to tell about herself
- "It's been quite a boon looking like a child. No one ever suspects a thing."
- "Kill well. And often."
- In the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, if the spider Lis is killed, the assassins attempt revenge, while Babette only says, "Why are they fighting?" as if she were a normal child, not a vampire.
- Babette is the only child vampire in Skyrim.
- When recording Babette's lines, Harley Graham made a blunder in the line, "Got a pretty full stock of potions and alchemy reagents." She sounds out the word "alchemy" and mis-pronounces it. This was not done over, and remains in the game.
- Using Detect Dead can highlight her.
- If the members of the Dark Brotherhood are killed in "Destroy the Dark Brotherhood!," Babette is not among the members in the sanctuary. This is probably because, since children cannot be killed, her presence would make the quest impossible to complete.
- Babette mentions that she loves the Gourmet's recipes, implying that Skyrim's vampires can still enjoy mortal food. This is already made somewhat obvious by the fact that the Dragonborn is still healed by food, even as a vampire.
- Cicero refers to her as the "Un-child," while Astrid calls her an "eternal ten-year-old vampire."
- Babette can often be found talking to Gabriella about her recent contracts.
- Babette is usually found sitting down looking at Lis' spider nest along with Gabriella and Festus Krex. With Dawnguard installed, she may on occasion be spotted around the sanctuary feeding on dead bodies.
- Upon first meeting her, Babette tells the story of a man who offered her candy. The man followed her into a dark alleyway, which Babette claimed was a shortcut to a candy shop. She then killed him with her fangs.
- Despite being hundreds of years old, Babette still functions as a child, and cannot be pickpocketed.
- During "Death Incarnate," Nazir will be arguing with Babette while he drags the Night Mother's coffin from the lake in the Sanctuary, where he will call her a "stupid she-devil" for not helping him.
- Based on Babette's dialogue, it seems that her personality continued to age, even as her body stayed as a child's.
- Occasionally she can't be found at her usual spot at the Sanctuary. Sleep in any bed nearby and she will re-appear.

Good morning from Annapolis, Md. No, Paul Johnson is not here, but I still call this place home.
Not that I'm here that often during the season. One of the better trips this year will be to Tampa, for the ACC Championship. Anything has got to be better than the half-empty stadium in Jacksonville, and ACC officials all but promised it will be. The key will be a smaller venue, bigger city and cheaper tickets. More ACC alumni, too. But you know the No. 1 rule in real estate - location, location, location.
So far the rule seems to apply to ACC football, too -- more than half of the seats there are already sold.
Want one? Check out their web site.
In addition to talking up Tampa on Tuesday, ACC commissioner John Swofford gave his take on the state of the ACC yesterday, so that's where much of the news came from. And yes, he is pleased with the way things are going.
Even in the face of numbers like these.
Also addressed on Tuesday in the final day of the ACC football kickoff was the new rule changes. Here's a more in-depth look at the clock change for this season.
Swofford and SEC commissioner Mike Slive are ready for a change in the BCS, but believe it or not, some coaches are OK with the status quo. The coaches in the Triangle don't mind it so much, either.
Speaking of coaches in the Triangle, somebody else noticed how Butch Davis dressed on Monday, too. And David Cutcliffe and Jenny Craig in the same sentence? More on how the Blue Devils slimmed down to shape up.
And more on food -- Gregg Doyel says recruiting at Wake Forest is like is like visiting a seven-course buffet and being allowed to pick only from the salad bowl.
Despite the high hopes for the Carolina schools, Clemson is obviously the best team this year. If the Tigers are going to win it all, though, quarterback Cullen Harper said they will need a little luck.
It appears Florida State has the speed. Who's the fastest at FSU? Redshirt freshman Brandon Paul is ready for a "race-off" to find out.
Elsewhere in Florida, former Miami coach Larry Coker is gearing up for his second season as a TV analyst for ESPN but hasn't ruled out returning to the sidelines. Click here for his take on that and the Hurricanes' move to Dolphin Stadium.
Back to the BCS -- remember that excuse for not going with the plus-one, that whole thing about academics?
Well, how about playing in the Congressional Bowl the same day you've got a final exam? Given its locale, Maryland would be a natural fit for this game. Given its potential, it won't have to worry about it.
The bigger question is who -- if anyone -- will qualify for it.

ATLANTA - Justin Upton had not yet hit his second home run in as many games, an opposite-field shot that showed off the 25-year-old outfielder's remarkable strength.
Freddie Freeman had not yet cleared the bases with a three-run double into left-center on a line drive that showcased the 23-year-old first baseman's sweet lefthanded swing.
Jason Heyward had not yet hit his first home run, a two-run shot in the eighth that sealed the Atlanta Braves' 9-2 rout over a besieged Roy Halladay and the Phillies.
Charlie Manuel did not need to see it to know that he likes the combination of youth and power that Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez will get to insert into his lineup on a daily basis this season.

Publisher's Description
How should Christians conduct themselves in an increasingly secular society?
Jesus answered this troubling question on the eve of His death with some of the most poignant, powerful teaching in His entire ministry. During those hours He taught His apostles and, consequently, all believers throughout history, How To Survive in a World of Unbelievers.
Respected pastor, teacher, and author John MacArthur, plumbs the depths of Jesus' final words of encouragement to us, based on John 13-16. By studying this valuable book, you will find answers to these and other difficult questions:
- How can you remain pure-hearted and spiritually sound in a church seemingly full of hypocrites?
- How do you help your children stay morally pure when they want to "fit in" with school friends who prefer objectionable activites?
- How can you keep your family anchored to Christ in a society that is drifting far away from His teaching on family issues, such as divorce, homosexuality and abortion?
- How do you retain your Christian ethics when you boss asks you to lie or cheat?
- How can you keep your life focused on glorifying Christ in a society that proclaims self, pride, and personal achievement as marks of success?
Author Bio
John MacArthur is the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, president of the Masters College and Seminary, and featured teacher with the Grace to You media ministry. In more than four decades of ministry, John has written dozens of bestselling books, including The MacArthur Study Bible, The Gospel According to Jesus, and Slave. He lives in Los Angeles.

If we want to begin to understand how we conduct ourselves in this world, a humble servant heart is where it begins. We are to remain pure hearted and show spiritual prudence in a world that glorifies those who are full of self and full of pride. We must surrender ourselves to the Holy Spirit and allow Gods will to work in our life. One of the character traits of the true Christian is someone who is absorbed with Gods glory. We give God glory by witnessing and loving one another (by showing and developing the fruit of the spirit). In this we can trust God to fulfill His promises to us and our love for God is demonstrated by our obedience to His Word. Our obedience confirms our standing with God.

Over the weekend, ESPN's Ted Miller tweeted Oregon Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota's only classes he's enrolled in for the fall are yoga and golf.
Mariota finished an undergraduate degree in general science in three years (for those wondering: SB Nation detailed the requirements in obtaining a general science degree). His fall courses are electives, which keep him eligible at the Oregon.
The Oregonian's Jen Beyrle posted about Mariota's class schedule and, well, it looks you folks really, really care about trolling, golf and yoga.

As Angel Rodriguez Slumps, So Does MiamiPosted by Brad Jenkins (@bradjenk) on February 5th, 2015
If we have learned anything about Miami this season, it's that as Angel Rodriguez goes, so go the Hurricanes. And unfortunately for Jim Larranaga right now, that's not a good thing. Due in great part to a major drought from its on-floor leader, Miami has now dropped three straight ACC games and has likely fallen on the wrong side of the NCAA bubble. The Hurricanes' home defeat to Louisville on Tuesday night was just the latest example of how difficult things are for Miami when the junior is having an off night. A look at the box score reveals that he failed to reach double-figures for the fourth time in conference play — all Miami losses. The chart below shows just how strong the correlation is between Rodriguez's performance and the team's ACC fortunes.
The trend also extends to Miami's non-conference games. In the Hurricanes' two solid November road wins against Florida and Charlotte, Rodriguez averaged 19.0 points and made 9-of-15 three-pointers. In those two head-scratching blowout home losses to Green Bay and Eastern Kentucky, he only managed a total of 13 points and shot a miserable 1-of-11 from distance. Part of the problem is that Miami relies too much on the transfer guard for offense — carrying an extremely high usage rate of 31.9 percent in ACC play. Here's a look at how Rodriguez compares to some of the other prominent ACC guards in both usage and performance.

Time seems to flit by in stretches. Wasn't new years just the other day? Somehow it's March now.
This phenomenon gets worse as I get older. That's scary.
I've been engaged in a number of non-photography projects lately and also some photography-related projects. Since I've had my head buried in the details, I've forgotten to come up for air and take notice of what's going on in the world. The spring flowers are already starting to bloom here, for one thing.
Some friends and I helped our kids make a small cart for a competition. It's made mostly from spare parts and junk we had laying around. It's basically a giant pull-back car that uses large rubber bands.
Turns out the bands didn't work so well. I bought some large diameter surgical tubing, and it was more suited to being repeatedly stretched while keeping its elasticity.
My older son and I built a PC for his birthday. I picked out the parts (just a basic-level PC with an Intel processor) and then showed him how to put it all together. He's 11, and I'm not sure how much he learned. But he did seem to enjoy the process.
And that's something I want my kids to learn – that making things is often well within your capability if you put your mind to it.
My younger son competed in his first cub scout Pinewood Derby contest. They had an adult category, so I also made a car of my own. Of course there I put a camera in it
Here is the video from the car: youtu.be/Iwj0jLU7RyM
The ongoing saga of my old Sony 5.1 receiver…
It stopped working a couple of years ago. It kept tripping into protection mode. I tore it apart and found some bad capacitors. I've recently replaced them, and it still doesn't work
This thing should go to the junk bin, but the geek/engineer in me cannot stand to let it go. Next on the list is to test all the power transistors.
Another interesting repair was an old set of powered computer speakers that stopped working. Turns out there was a small ball bearing rolling around inside the speaker that contained the amp. It was rolling around on the circuit board and shorting things out.
Typically, speakers don't contain any ball bearings But, living in a house with two young boys I've learned to accept that things end up where they don't belong quite often.
Both of my boys deny having anything to do with this…. naturally.
I suppose this is just pay back for all the times I broke something as a kid.
Well, not quite. But photography related, yes.
The used ballhead I recently bought came with a semi-broken lever clamp. I say semi-broken because it was still somewhat functional, but not 100%.
The small pin that held the lever bolt in place (preventing it from rotating) had sheared. The lever bolt was also bent.
I engaged Really Right Stuff about fixing it. I sent them a detailed description and photos. They told me to send it to them if I wanted it repaired.
Once they had it, they then informed me that they could NOT repair it. It was a "legacy" clamp, and they had no spare parts for it. And since I'd bought it second-hand, it was not eligible for their upgrade policy.
I like RRS products. I've used them for many years. And I like the new products that they develop. They show great ingenuity and intelligence in developing devices and aids that can help photographers.
But, it bothers me that they couldn't make a repair after they said to send it in and I had disclosed to them exactly what model the clamp was and what was wrong with it.
Anyway, being slightly pissed off about it, I decided to attempt to fix it myself. I "un-bent" the bolt and drilled out the broken keeper pin. I then put the bolt back in with a bit of red Loctite (permanent) and shoved a sanded-down pin into the hole.
Moving on…
I also got a used tripod. It's an old Gitzo model that has the design flaw of a round, center plate with no secondary locking mechanism.
I've read about this issue many times. The round, center plate gets clamped into the spider (the central part of the tripod where the legs attach). However, if the clamp loosens during use, the center plate (along with the attached head and possibly also camera + lens) has a tendency to fall out unexpectedly.
I fixed this potential issue by drilling and tapping a hole through the spider and center plate.
A small (#10-32) stainless steel bolt goes into the hole (just snugly with a bit of blue Loctite).
Maybe it's overkill… But I really like backup methods and secondary systems to ensure that something works and stays working as it's abused, er… used.
And finally, I did not like the way the head attached to the tripod. There was only a stub of a 3/8″ bolt sticking out of the center plate.
Every single tripod I've used that employed this design has had issues with the head unscrewing itself during handling and use.
So, I drilled and tapped three holes through the center plate. Set screws go into these holes and tighten against the bottom of the ballhead.
Now I just need to get out and shoot!
