Multi Lens CamerasThere are multiple types of multi-lens cameras, each which has a different function. The most common four are: Twin lens, stereo, action sequence, and mini-portrait cameras.
But one of the earliest multi-lens cameras (early 1900s) was a multiplying camera, the Royal Mail Photo Stamp Camera, which was a wooden box camera that took plates. There was a three lens model and a 15-lens model (below) that could take direct photos, or copy cabinet portraits.

Twin Lens- These cameras technically have two lenses, but only one "taking lens", and one "viewing lens". They are oriented vertically, and the top lens on a twin lens camera is what makes your image visible in the viewfinder (or on the glass in a waist level) so that you can frame and focus, while the bottom lens is the one that actually takes the picture. There are many brands that make twin lens cameras including Yashica, Mamiya, Minolta, and probably the most popular, Rollei. Twin lens cameras are typically medium format, although there is a newer model that takes 35mm film (the Blackbird, Fly Camera- a plastic/"toy" TL).

Stereo (3D)- These cameras have been around for a long time and usually have two or three lenses on them. They are set up to take two images that are almost the same, but are slightly off from one another so that when you view the images in a stereo viewer (or sometimes stack them and wear glasses), the result is a 3-dimensional image. They are oriented horizontally, and the cameras with three lenses have two taking lenses, and one viewing/focusing lens. These are not popular cameras for actual use these days, but are great vintage cameras to collect. Stereo cameras have been made in all formats including large format, medium format, 35mm, and subminiature. A few brands that made these cameras are Kodak, Stereo Realist, Coronet, Nimslo, and View-Master. The View-Master cameras took images specifically to be cut and put into View-Master reels (see below).

Nimslo is one of the more modern stereo camera brands (as is Nishika), which was around in the 1980s. These cameras had four lenses (and took four images), and required your film to be processed in a special way (which is no longer available). The result was a holographic-type print that didn't require a viewer or glasses to see it in 3D.
Mini Portrait- Also called "Passport Cameras", these are Polaroid cameras (Fujifilm also made a version though) with two or four lenses that take two (or four) images simultaneously and places them next to each other on the film (often type 100 pull-apart). They were used to take images to be used on passports or other identity cards. One of the fun things about these cameras is that you can cover one lens, take a photo, and then cover the other lens and take a photo to create Polaroid diptychs.

Action Sequence (Lomography)- Action sequence cameras are the newest of the multi-lens cameras, and fall into the LOMO/plastic camera/toy camera category. These cameras have anywhere from four to nine lenses on them and take multiple images (on one section of 35mm film) in rapid succession. If your subject is moving at a quick enough pace, the camera will capture that movement in the series of images. If not, then you will end up with a print of X of the same images.

Hyping Health Risks
Three kids on the same block were diagnosed with leukemia last year. That couldn't happen just by chance, could it? There MUST be something in the environment that caused it (power lines, the chemical plant down the street, asbestos in their school, iPods, Twinkies?). Quick, let's measure everything we can think of and compare exposures to other blocks and find an explanation.
That may be the common reaction, and it may seem plausible to the general public, but it's not good science.
I have just read a book that does a great job of elucidating the pitfalls of epidemiologic studies, the problematic interface between science and emotion-laden public concerns, and the way environmental hazards have been hyped far beyond the evidence. Hyping Health Risks: Environmental Hazards in Daily Life and the Science of Epidemiology by Geoffrey C. Kabat.
He covers the uses, strengths and limitations of epidemiology, discusses the pros and cons of different study designs, and explains how to judge whether an association is causal.

Does anyone know of a dictionary which translates UK into US English and vice versa?
I met someone yesterday who had just arrived from Portland Oregon to live in Edinburgh for two years. Her children are starting school tomorrow (children hate to stand out) and have already been warned about the different meanings for "pants", "rubbers", "fanny packs", "purse" ....(e-mail me if you want a translation - some of it isn't printable)- it goes on. She's also quite worried about what we'll do to her children's spelling - I'm sure they'll unlearn it all when they go back and I hope our teachers are proficient in pointing out differences where they exist.
Our cultures are moving together so much more than in our parents' generation. Children here watch "Friends" and "Neighbours" without noticing that they are made in a different country. It often comes as a surprise when we find things are more different than we'd expected. We've discussed Bill Bryson's books elsewhere on this site. I'd love to know what its like for a twenty year old student crossing the pond for the first time.
It occurred to me that we are building up quite a nice collection here as we discuss different usage - I hadn't realised that story was used for storey (of a building), for example.
Perhaps we should have a section where we can discuss different usages where we wont bore to death those who aren't interested. I'm also interested in the separate development of the English language in Australia, Asia and the Carribean. I suppose I should post it under "English as a Global Langauage" but the discussion there doesn't seem to be about individual words. Judging by some of the postings we'll need a whole section on Kentuckian!
What do you think?

The US word that I had to be most careful of in the UK was "bum".
The US phrase "on the bum" simply means not be feeling well or if it refers to machinery or equipment means not working properly. A " bum" means a vagrant or hobo, "bumming around" means aimlessness, to "bum a ride" means to hitch-hike or ask for transportation from a friend, "bum steer" means bad advise. None of these terms would cause a blush in polite company but would be considered as casual usages,
The use of " UK" is far more common usage these days than 30 or 40 years ago. But when it was not so well known there was a joke about a US executive that had a British secretary. In answering a telephone call the secretary stated that the executive was not in - - that he had gone to the United Kingdom. After a long pause the caller asked if it was too late to send flowers for the services.
In my several trip to the UK I was always careful not to take any striped ties. I had no idea about whom I might offend by wearing the St. Bartholomew's Sons of Destitute Civil Servants Soccer and Library League pattern.

I don't know of a dictionary as such, but I have seen reference to at least one book on this subject. The name escapes me, of course, sorry about that, but someone here is sure to know. Your idea of a separate forum on differing usages seems good to me. I too am fascinated by this subject. Some years ago a colleague of mine (ex-Yorkshire, now Oz) who was visiting the US on business was invited to the home of one of his contacts for dinner. The time came when the hostess suggested that perhaps people would like to eat, whereupon my friend announced: "Yes, I am feeling rather peckish", and wondered why everyone fell about laughing.

Which presumably why your "fanny pack" is called our "bum bag" - here they both refer to the lower half of the body but "fanny" just doesn't cut it here in polite society.
Keep sending the flowers. I like a current version of the UK, used on a BBC geek programme - the Untied Kingdom - it feels a bit like that here in Scotland.
Keep wearing the striped ties - you never know who might take you in. I once someone wearing my old school blazer - a hideous maroon and gold striped affair. I knew it couldn't be an alumni - as he was wearing the uniform of an all-girls school. I didn't like to tell him.

Lucy - You'll have to e-mail me the answer - I can only guess at the moment - I am feeling rather peckish!
The Australian one I found strange was the idea that men wore thongs. I imagined men dancing removing layers of clothes in a seedy club - it turned out that thongs are the same as the footwear that we wear on the beach (but probably more stylish versions) called flip-flops.

Friday night saw a new UK version of the Jerry Springer Show, filmed in London with a mixture of British and international guests. It ocurred to me that he really should have been reading this web site as he became very confused.
He was interviewing Chris Tarrant (who presents "Who Wants to be a Millionnaire" here). He'd been told by his researchers that Chris Tarrant had a party trick. He said "I hear that you are able to take off your shorts without removing your pants". In the UK this is not terribly impressive - people do it all the time. Shorts are worn in the Summer (short trousers) over pants (underwear). Fortunately Chris Tarrant understood the question but pointed out that he couldn't do it as he wasn't wearing any "pants". Jerry Springer looked a little confused as he clearly was wearing pants in the US sense (UK= trousers). In the end Chris Tarrant proved his point by showing Jerry Springer (but not the audience)exactly what he was wearing under his trousers.
We could have saved him all that trouble!

I while away an idle moment or two by playing wordgames, as one does. One site has my antipodean vocabulary foxed. Two recent examples among many: a 'philly hooper' is, apparently, a 'sixer'. Neither of these make any sense at all to me. And a 'williwaw', it seems, is a violent commotion. Where on earth does that come from? Any help gratefully received.

Hi Lucy
Can't help you with philly hooper/sixer (although the latter is a term used in scouting, I think).
Williwaw is a sudden violent squall, orig. in the Straits of Magellan [SO]. It's also the title of an early novel (his first?) by Gore Vidal.

Panel considers road to single-payerBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | January 11,2014MONTPELIER The House Health Care Committee on Friday began lining up some of the heavy lifting tasks that will have to be finished before the state can roll out its first-in-the-nation single-payer health care system scheduled for 2017.
The committee heard from legislative staff members and outlined the details that have yet to be worked out such as who would be covered and when to seek formal permission from the federal government to run a system that would go beyond the scope of the Affordable Care Act.
Many of the details discussed Friday wont be part of the financing plan Gov. Peter Shumlin is expected to release next year.
Whats envisioned here is a different gatekeeper. The gate-keep to get health care is being a Vermonter. Today the gatekeeper is paying a premium before you show up for emergency surgery, said committee Chairman Michael Fisher, D-Lincoln, during the hearing.
On Tuesday, Shumlin appeared before a joint meeting of the House and Senate health care committees and recommitted the state to reaching its goal of becoming the first with a universal, publicly financed health care system.
Shumlin made the comments after expressing his frustration with the rollout of Vermonts version of the federal health overhaul, which has been plagued by problems.
In the same speech, Shumlin urged lawmakers to focus on the details of reaching that goal, work that will require heavy lifting.
The committee on Friday got a glimpse of some of the weighty issues at play. The staff members suggested creating a timeline of tasks as well as the areas that need to be addressed over the next three years.
Leaving aside the details of how the single-payer system will be financed, there are questions to be answered about when to begin collecting that money.
Do you need to start collecting money before the system gets in place in preparation for the transition costs? asked Catherine Benham, of the Legislatures Joint Fiscal Office. And then theres the whole issue of how you navigate whos paying what, when.
Fisher acknowledged there is a lot of work to do, including reconciling the different ideas being considered by different legislative committees.
Next year when theres discussion about really passing this stuff, well need to chart out the process, Fisher said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

Vt. delegation hits GOP on shutdownBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | October 10,2013MONTPELIER Day nine of a federal government shutdown brought no real progress toward a resolution while members of Vermonts congressional delegation continued to lay blame and apply pressure on Republicans to allow a vote on a clean budget.
The federal government has been shut down since Oct. 1. Republicans in the U.S. House continue to demand that federal health care reform be defunded or delayed as a precursor to restarting the government.
The situation has grown more grave as lawmakers face an Oct. 17 deadline to raise the nations debt ceiling or see the first-ever default by the U.S. government. House Republicans have tied raising the debt ceiling to allow the government to pay its bills to their partys effort to chip away at the Affordable Care Act.
Democrats remain insistent that any negotiations over health care reform take place after government is reopened and the threat of default removed.
Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., attended a meeting Wednesday night with House Democrats at the White House and said President Barack Obama and the Democrats remain firmly united.
It was very reassuring, Welch said in a telephone interview after the meeting. The president was very calm and resolute. Hes making the point that hes always willing to negotiate but America always pays its bills.
Welch said House Democrats expect Republican House Speaker John Boehner to honor an agreement they say was reached with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. The agreement was a GOP-friendly budget number in exchange for a clean continuing resolution to fund the government without any efforts to chip away at Obamacare.
But Boehner abandoned the deal because of conservative Tea Party Republicans in the House, Welch said.
The dilemma that the speaker faces is theres a battle between the mainstream, fiscally responsible Republicans and the Tea Party, he said.
Washington is now in an Alice in Wonderland World where more and more Republicans are becoming debt default deniers, according to Welch,
Weve got a growing body of Republicans here who are saying it will be no big deal, he said.
Meanwhile, speaking on the Senate floor Wednesday, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., also laid blame for the shutdown squarely on House Republicans.
What the House is doing is playing Russian roulette with the U.S. economy and peoples lives, Leahy said. There is no excuse for it, and the speaker has two choices: Stop it, or continue to roll the dice with the U.S. economy and the lives of millions of American families and programs that protect our nations security.
Despite the current stalemate, Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., said he believes public pressure from polls as well as pressure from Wall Street will force Boehner to abandon the Tea Party-driven demands.
Whats happening is Wall Street and the big business community, the people who have huge influence over the GOP, are saying to Republicans that if you go forward and for the first time in the history of this country do not pay our debts, the United States economy maybe the world economy will be driven into dire straits, Sanders said in a telephone interview Wednesday.
He said he believes mainstream Republicans will seize control and prevent a default.
The graybeards of the Republican Party, the old-timers, are looking at the polls and beginning to think that they may lose control of the House and will not take over the Senate, Sanders said. I think what ends up happening now is some of the smarter Republicans who have some perspective begin to say, You know what, this policy is a losing policy.
Welch echoed a similar sentiment.
I just cant believe John Boehner is going to allow this country to default, he said. I just cant believe that.
Challenges may loom in the Senate, too, though.
Sanders said he favors a growing movement among Senate Democrats to pass legislation to raise the debt ceiling for one year by changing Senate rules to prevent the GOP from launching a filibuster.
Such a move would allow the Democratic majority, who have 54 votes in their caucus, to pass the bill with a simple majority instead of requiring 60 votes.
This idea, which seemed far-fetched months ago, is gaining more support right now, Sanders said. I can tell you, without naming names, that the very highest level of the Democratic leadership are starting to support this.
The move is sure to infuriate Republicans, and could scuttle any plans for future bipartisan cooperation in the chamber. But Sanders said Republicans have consistently abused the rules.
What people dont understand is that its not just that legislation gets defeated, he said. We cannot even bring up legislation for a vote because of the current rules that exist. You have rules that can only work if you have a gentlemans agreement, which is what we have historically had here.
Leahy, meanwhile, has so far refrained from speculating on procedural moves to limit the filibuster during the current funding crisis, according to spokesman David Carle.
He said Leahy has been involved in previous discussions about potential reforms to Senate rules that would limit the ability of the minority to obstruct business. However, he said, Leahy knows that changing the Senates rules has serious implications beyond the immediate effects.
Leahy, in a statement, said Democrats in the Senate should not be forced to consider such measures.
It shouldnt take procedural changes to accomplish the responsible thing to keep our economy from going off the rails, he said. The Republican leadership in the House is letting a small but vocal faction to dictate their approach to a disastrous default, and they need to stop playing with fire.

Arizona Diamondbacks (47-65) at Philadelphia Phillies (49-63)
Starting Pitchers:
ARI: Dallas Keuchel (10-7, 2.97)
PHI: Kyle Kendrick (5-11, 4.92)
Time: 7:05, Citizens Bank Park
Weather: Sunny, 82
Media: Twitter and Facebook
A Note for Tonight:
The three game series between the Phillies and the Astros could easily be the battle of the awfully bad teams. Both teams have terrible records, and both are likely looking at top five picks in next June's MLB Draft. Luckily for the Phillies Astros rookie sensation George Springer will be out the entire series as he is rehabbing a quad injury. The Phillies will however say hello to a few farm hands they traded away in the Hunter Pence trade. Jonathan Singleton will be at first base for the Astros. And the player to be named later in the Pence trade, Domingo Santana, just got called up from AAA Oklahoma.
Lineup: Revere CF / Rollins SS / Utley 2B / Howard 1B / Byrd RF / Ruiz C / Ruf LF / Asche 3B / Kendrick P
49 Comments
The Phils have hit the home stretch in the 20K Derby. That's the 4th leg of the Quadruple crown where we'll see if they have a sub 20k crowd this year. Play like horse's asses, draw the comp he reasoned. Early season conjecture, with massive maybeness was they'd stay above on all home dates. The bigger question at this point, looking ahead is how many 20K plus weeknight crowds they draw next year. The continued slippage of result that's correlated with attendance and TV ratings can be reversed by a PR move that still awaits. And awaits, and awaits.
But for now, the Phils below average season, still close enough in time to a large season ticket base has them smack dab in the middle of the watch list, via both TV and in person. A year from now? Maybe the watch note is in Cleveland, where the Tribe does poory at the gate, but kicks relative ass in local TV ratings. But there's a huge maybe attached to that.
15th in home attendance (a little better on the road, 3k more per date
Also 15th in local TV ratings, and ranking 3rd in prime time local TV ratings.
Ryan Howard: Since his swing is slower to the ball, he needs to use a lighter bat. If he makes solid contact more often, he should hit more homeruns.
There are a lot of blue seats.
Keuchel is a pretty good pitcher. Wouldn't surprise me to see a tough night for our bats.
These guys look pretty silly in cowboy hats.
Theres a homer off a lefty.
Thought those guys were gonna whack each other, runaway train like.
Woo hoo! Got here in time to see Howard's HR, but took some time to log in.
I worry about these Astros. I've always felt like they put the final nail in the Phillies' coffin in 2011. Ending a long winning streak with a disastrous series against the worst team in baseball really takes the wind out of your sails.
I never thought about it that way but you're probably right.
That malfunction brought to you by a former member of the Phillies farm team
Did TMAC say he had 8 errors already?
I won't say anything about Kendrick's no hitter if you don't.
I blame you. :^P
And it wasn't just a no-hitter, it was a perfect game. 3 up, 3 down 3 times.
Blame me for what? Still only 12 up 12 down.
You jinxed the perfect game!
(I kid)
Rats, that ends the perfect game.
Ha ha
I am learn a lot of things at here, made ??many friends
Castro the Astro?
Yeah, you really need to be careful about that sort of thing when you sign with a team.
Back in the Wagner days we had Billy the Phillie
I don't recall so many shifts on Chase in the past.Maybe I'm just getting old.
If they traded Byrd to the NL Florida team he'd be Marlon the Marlin
I cant top that. End of exercise.
I am very impressed.
I think when our pitchers walk the lead off man it's usually a bad omen. It's like tempting fate.
Another must win for the Phils
Again no offense.
what a team
You have to love the consistency.
I actually hope the ngiht the old man goes into the wall of fame is a sell out.
He deserves it.
Otherwise boycotting seems like a legitimate thing to me.
Deer in the headlights
The look on KK's face just then.
Nice innings for giles. Now With keuchel out its time for the offense to wake up. Get on Base, Benny…
Thats what i am Talking about. Now get him in.
Can not walk the lead off hitter.
Nice to see Revere doesn't play hard or run hard.
with his limited talent not acceptable
He hustled and played hard last year. I'd like to see how he does when he's not in obvious pain before indicting. He's getting the pins in his ankle taken out in the offseason. He could have had them out during the season but decided to play through the pain rather than miss time.
Winner winner
chicken dinner
15 innings of great baseball
but Ryan Howard does it again.
Why he paid the big bucks!
Still planning for that world series parade on November 1st
I've read or heard the following a couple of times, now:
About a hundred years ago, at Penn State, I had a class by a gentleman who had written a book called "How to Lie with Statistics."
Here's my statistic of the day:
This season, in the NL, among players hitting 4th, Ryan Howard has produced (RBI+R-HR) more runs than anyone except Casey McGhee. I think it's actually quite remarkable especially considering his bad wheels.
Sorry—quote missing:
There have been 400 hitters in baseball from 1914-2013 with 575 or more plate appearances hitting cleanup. Howard's .302 on-base percentage as a four-hole hitter was on pace for the fifth-lowest of those 400 hitters. His .363 slugging percentage was on pace for second-lowest while his .664 OPS was on pace for last.
And even adjusted per AB:
Jay Bruce 0.294
Justin Upton 0.270
Pablo Sandoval 0.264
Adrian Gonzalez 0.257
Adam LaRoche 0.249
Casey McGehee 0.247
Ryan Howard 0.245
Aramis Ramirez 0.232
Starlin Castro 0.227
Miguel Montero 0.226
I don't have a deep understanding of baseballs New Math but I think Ryan Howard's bad season has, in some instances, overstated. Like in that quote above.
If you really don't have a good understanding of baseball's New Math, maybe you can get a job in the Phils' front office. You'd fit right in.
Ha! I've already applied. It was difficult though—my wrist got tired having to press hard enough to make 3 carbon copies.
Lost some quotes myself using the brackets. Not a 1 time thang. Using quote marks on a copy and paste works like a charm.
Not that I really care, but in that 100 year history of Howard illustrating the poor quality of his year, I'm fractionally curious (not even, but what's a fraction of a fraction) where his best year ('06) might rank at the other end of the spectrum.
Nore do I care about this, but I feel like mentioning it, last night, he looks clutch in an isolated game, breaking a tie late, and earlier the same thing. I guess they're both in what you could call high leverage situations. But conversely, 500 games out of first place, leverage ain't got no place in the discussion. So those, or he, or whoever that subscribe to his atat padding tendencies could make a point, too. Somewhere in there is a lie in statistics, I reckon.
That kid in the pic oughta stand back a little if he's taking a snap from the center. Challenges the center;s snapping skills, voiced the football guru.
Some time ago I posted a not well thought out remark that Ben Revere might be the worst .300 hitter in the game. In the same way, is Ryan Howard the best .220 hitter? And do those 2 bizarre skill sets average out to complete mediocrity? Don't know.
I know football season is looming, but…
The kid in the picture is me, on my dad's back in Ocean City, NJ in about…oh let's call it 1950. Never was any good at football. Could always hit a baseball but fly balls were a complete mystery to me. I could never figure where they were going to land—and land they usually did! Loved to play the game but sand lot only. Not good enough for any organized league.
@photoFred, just fyi, I wrote up a piece on where Revere ranks among .300 seasons. Googling "schmenkman revere" should bring it up. There's also a similar piece on Howard and the worst 90 RBI seasons.
Very interesting stuff. We agree totally on Revere. But while I'm not arguing that Howard is having a good year, I'm not sure how to react to the "historically bad" label of his (projected) 90 RBI season, especially on a team that produces so little, (and, yes, I guess he's part of THAT problem). I mean, right now he is among the leaders in runs produced/AB. And a run is a run, right? Maybe I should recalculate that with PAs instead? I don't know, my brain hurts.
Anyway, thanks for the links. Fun stuff.

The facts are out thereAugust 20,2013
The facts are out there
Dialogue about energy sources is heating up worldwide, not just in Vermont. There comes a time when we must face reality and discard politics; such is the case at this moment. The reality is that wind and solar are not going to solve the worlds energy problems at their current state of development; perhaps into the future, but we cannot predict. Gov. Shumlin would earn greater respect if he acknowledged that it is time to abandon his unworkable energy plan and focus on sourcing electricity that is reliable and economical. Unless he does so, companies like IBM will abandon the state and create a miserable economic situation, and he will continue to hurt the citizens who are struggling with ever-rising basic costs.
The battle to close Vermont Yankee has gone on far too long and has cost the state a great deal of money that would have been better spent on sourcing low-cost reliable electricity. The NRC has given Entergy the right to operate Vermont Yankee for another 20 years. If only the state would work with one of its most reliable suppliers and address issues of safety, reliability and cost, we would all be the better.
Day after day, data comes in from all over the world that wind is too costly and so-called green energy is a wasted investment. If volumes of data are not enough to convince that this message is true, then we should also abandon any thoughts about global warming. Why cant people see how similar the issues are? This reinforces the notion, now being verified, that people, especially educated and informed people, will continue to make irrational decisions. Look to the fields of neuropsychology and neuroscience to guide our understanding of the human decision-making process.
I hope my thoughts ring home as rational and realistic as I have no particular political agenda and am only concerned for the future of folks like myself and my children and grandchildren.

The reviews are in!
Thankfully, 90 minutes flew by and within hours, the dreaded reviews appeared on the Internet. "Had a great time… interesting and oh-so-funny stories," Denise Sarett Connolly wrote. Catskill Country Magazine's (www.catskillcountry.com) Lillian Browne wrote, "A divine evening at Café Devine with Dharma the Wonder Dog (of course) and the extremely talented Jonathan Charles Fox." Really? Literature professor Stacy Rogers called me a "storyteller extraordinaire," and The Catskill Chronicle's (www.thecatskillchronicle.com) Carol Montana declared the show a "great afternoon of stories about his life—some funny, some poignant, all fascinating." Wow. I could go on, but enough about me. Thank you to all for your favorable comments and support. The experience was heavenly. Who knows? I might even do it again.

SUNY POTSDAM Presents Ragtime
SUNY Potsdam Presents Tony Award-Winning Musical 'Ragtime'
The SUNY Potsdam production of "Ragtime" will be presented at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 14 to Nov. 16, with a matinee at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 17. All performances will be offered in the Sara M. Snell Music Theater at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music.
Crane Opera Ensemble and Department of Theatre & Dance Produce 'Ragtime,' Showing from Nov. 14 to 17
SUNY Potsdam's Department of Theatre and Dance and the Crane Opera Ensemble and Orchestra have partnered for their triennial collaboration, with the upcoming production of the Tony Award-winning musical, "Ragtime," running from Nov. 14 to 17.
The production brings together a cast and crew of students and draws on the expertise of faculty from both the Department of Theatre and Dance and from The Crane School of Music.
"Ragtime is our fifth collaborative musical for the program, and we are thrilled to be working on such a challenging piece that honors our growing diversity on campus," said director Dr. Carleen Graham, who leads the Crane Opera Ensemble.
"Ragtime" was originally a bestselling 1975 historical fiction novel by E.L. Doctorow that was transformed into a moving musical in 1996. This work had countless Tony nominations and won in the categories of "Best Book of a Novel," "Best Original Score," "Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical" (for Audra McDonald) and "Best Orchestration." "Ragtime" was also nominated for 13 Drama Desk Awards, ultimately winning five.
"Ragtime" tells the story of three groups in the United States in the early 20th century: African Americans, upper-class suburbanites from New Rochelle, N.Y., and European immigrants. Their lives are forever changed by the circumstances that bring them together. Like the novel, the plot is interlaced with historical figures, including Henry Ford, J.P. Morgan, Emma Goldman, Evelyn Nesbit, Harry Houdini and Booker T. Washington.
Actors Equity guest artist Justin Lee Miller will be in residency on campus for the "Ragtime" run, playing the starring role of Coalhouse Walker Jr.
SUNY Potsdam students make up the rest of the cast, along with several local actors. North Country community members involved in this production include Sylvain Foisy (Edgar); Luca Pecora (Little Girl); Eric, Daniel, and Mark Severtson (Newsboys), and Bruce Brownlee (Grandfather).
The "Ragtime" personnel also includes: director Carleen Graham, music director Kirk Severtson, vocal coach François Germain, choreographer Robin Collen, lighting designer Tonry Lathroum, assistant music director Ryan McNeil, scenic designer Todd Canedy, technical director Jeff Reeder, costume designer Janet Sussman, master electrician Josh Poston, assistant costume designer Susan Rosello, costume shop manager Alexis Foster, assistant costume shop manager Tilly Adams, production stage manager Katherine Yip, assistant stage managers Kate Bullock and Morgan Decker, and rehearsal pianists Nicholas Roehler and Alyssa Filardo.
Ticket prices are $12 for adults and $8 for SUNY Potsdam students, faculty and staff. Tickets may be purchased by visiting the Community Performance Series Box Office, located in the lobby of Snell Theater at SUNY Potsdam's Crane School of Music, or at Northern Music & Video in downtown Potsdam. Tickets can also be purchased by calling (315) 267-2277 or visiting www.cpspotsdam.org.

Since October 2012, several 35-ton cranes have been moving two ton rocks into place at Iroquois Point on Oahu's South Shore.
Combine that with some 85,000 cubic yards of sand dredged from Honolulu Harbor and you've got the largest beach replenishment project in state history, according to developer Hunt Companies.
How large? Four times larger than the recent beach replenishment project in Waikiki conducted by the Department of Land and Natural Resources, all to combat decades of beach erosion that have eaten away at the shoreline.
Before & after picture of the beach
The arsenal, nine new "t-groins" built using 2,000 truckloads of the massive boulders.
Developers from Hunt Companies, which sold the rental community called The Waterfront at Puuloa in 2011, say 16 homes and dozens of coconut trees were lost as a result of the erosion.
But despite the sale of the rental community, the Texas-based developer kept its promise to bring back the beach with the $14 million project.
Now beachgoers can enjoy the pristine sands with the completion of the project in August.
"It's been incredible," said Samantha Smith, an Iroquois Point resident ."It went from a tiny beach that got washed up all of the time to this huge beach."
Smith told KITV that the new jetties have made an enormous difference to the beach and the quality of life.
"It makes living here like a resort," said Smith. "Before we used to not want to go down to the beach. But now it's not the same beach as it was before."
Although Puuloa is a private rental community, the beach is opened to the public as long as visitors check in at the security gate.

Wing IDE 5.0 rc2
The second release candidate of Wing IDE 5.0 is now available for all product levels (Wing IDE Pro, Wing IDE Personal, and Wing IDE 101).
What's New in Wing IDE 5
The feature highlights of Wing IDE Pro version 5 are:
- Wing Runs Native on OS X and looks and runs better on Windows and Linux too.
- A Redesigned UI that fixes many quirks in Wing 4. Editors and tools can be dragged and dropped to other splits, to a new split, or to new windows. The toolbar and context menus in the editor and Project tool are now configurable. Preferences and some menus have been reorganized for clarity.
- New Editor Split Mode supports opening different sets of files in each editor split. This mode is disabled by default but can be enabled by unchecking Show All Files in All Splits in the options drop down in the top right of the editor.
- Sharable Color Palettes can be made for the GUI as a whole and for syntax highlighting individual file types. This is documented in the Customization chapter of the manual.
- Auto-Editing is enabled by default, except for a few operations that may be confusing to new users. Be sure to try also auto-entering spaces, PEP8 spacing, and block management with repeated presses of the colon key. These can be configured from the Edit > Keyboard Personality menu.
- Python Turbo Auto-Completion enables super-fast typing by turning any non-symbol key into a completion key whenever the selected completion is likely to be valid. This feature can be enabled with the Editor > Auto-completion > Python Turbo Mode preference and is documented in Editor > Auto-completion in the manual.
- Named File Sets can be created and visited from the File menu, the Open Files tool, or used for searching in Search in Files.
- Sharable Launch Configurations defined in the Project menu provide more flexible management of the environment used for sub-processes when debugging, unit testing, or in the OS Commands tool.
- Named Entry Points can be defined in the Debug menu to more easily debug or execute the same code with different arguments or environment.
- Unit Test Environment can now be configured independently from debug environment in the Testing tab of Project Properties and File Properties.
- Locking Editor Splits by clicking on the stick pin icon in top right of the editor will dedicate the split to a particular file, so it is not reused for other files. A second click changes the editor to non-sticky (auto-closing) mode, and a third click returns it back to sticky mode.
- Startup Preferences Dialog is shown for new installations where no Wing 4.x preferences are converted, making it easier for new users to configure keyboard personality and auto-editing. commonly altered preferences.
- Expanded and Rewritten Tutorial covers more of the IDE's feature set.
- Support for Python 3.4 has been added, along with other minor features like improved printing, asynchronous I/O in the Python Shell and Debug Probe, Open in Explorer/Finderin the Project context menu, and improved Diff/Merge tool.
Not all of these features are available in Wing IDE Personal and Wing IDE 101.
For more information on Wing IDE 5's features, please refer to the integrated documentation in the Help menu. Note that the documentation hosted on our website is for the latest stable release and not for this release candidate.
Reporting Bugs
To report bugs, please submit a bug report from the Help menu in Wing IDE, or email us at support at wingware dot com
Compatibility Notes
- Wing 5 installs side by side with Wing 4, so there is no need to remove the stable version of Wing in order to try the release candidate.
- Wing 5 will read and convert Wing 4 preferences, settings, and projects. Projects should be saved to a new name for use with Wing 5 since they cannot be read by Wing 4
- Auto-editing is on by default except for auto-entering spaces and block management with repeated presses of the colon key
- Preferences and some menus have been reorganized
- File Sets from Wing IDE 4 are now called File Filters. File Sets in Wing 5 are a new feature for creating named sets of files.
- File Properties have changed to make use of Launch Configurations
- OS Commands has been redesigned to use Launch Configurations and Named Entry Points
- The Python Shell starts with current directory set according to the project or main debug file configuration
- A few key bindings have changed
- Accelerators may have changed from Wing 4 and are no longer available on OS X because Qt follows Mac user interface guidelines
- More project data is stored in the shared branch of two-file projects (Python Path, OS Commands)
- Support for Python <= 2.2 has been dropped on Windows and support for Python <= 2.6 has been dropped on OS X
- New projects created with Wing Pro are always Shared (Two File) projects
- For other compatibility details, see the Changes sections of the CHANGELOG.txt file in the release.
After downloading Wing Pro 5.0.0-rc2, Wing Personal 5.0.0-rc2, or Wing 101 5.0.0-rc2, just install and run Wing IDE as with previous versions.

Get 25% off tickets to the 9:30 performances with code "Jazz25"!
Catherine Russell was hardly an overnight sensation. But following her 2006 debut recording Cat, she was suddenly headlining jazz festivals and opening for rock stars like Steely Dan and Paul Simon. Her road to recognition has roots as deep as the mix of jazz, blues, folk, and Americana that has made her a rising star. Inextricably linked to her ascension is the growing legend of her musical father, Luis Russell, who was Louis Armstrong's musical director. In this concert, she honors both men by featuring jazz and Swing Era repertoire with a ten piece orchestra including guitarist Matt Munisteri, pianist Mark Shane, trumpeter Jon Erik-Kellso, trombonist John Allred, saxophonist/clarinetist Dan Block, saxophonist Andy Farber, bassist Lee Hudson, and drummer Mark McLean.

Native Trout in Trouble: New Video
Yellowstone cutthroat trout, native to the Northern Rockies and unique in the entire world, until recently have thrived for more than 10,000 years in Yellowstone Lake and its surrounding waters. But now, their very existence hangs in the balance. A predatory non-native invader, capable of wiping the entire cutthroat population from the lake, has taken hold. Lake trout, which can grow to 50 pounds or more, have already eaten over 90% of the lake's four million cutthroats, and they grow more voracious each year.
Watch the 3-minute video below to learn more about the problem -- and the solution...

Dog seems to enjoy these...
Reviewer2627454发表于 Jan 27, 2012
My very fussy chihuahua seems to enjoy these after throwing them around for a while (as usual). Didn't expect them to be this small in size but it works! I'd buy these again, should last a while.
Perfect size and texture
Reviewer3137441发表于 May 20, 2012
My dog loves these and the size is perfect. In fact because these are moist you can easily break them in half or even quarters for really small dogs or dogs on a diet. Some of her 'doggy friends' didn't like these at first (as I used to bring chicken jerky) but within the week they were lining up to get one!
Pleasently surprised!

Well, it's the only time my dog immediately comes when called, otherwise he slowly saunters over usually. He really loves these and as training treats, they have been working really magically. They're small enough for both small dogs, and perfect for big dogs as well. I'll be keeping these around the house. They can also be pushed into kongs and other toys that make use of small holes for treats to keep the pup active.
My dog loves these!

Rep. Vos subpoenaed in Wis. redistricting case
Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and other officials have been subpoenaed as part of a long-running legal fight over how the state's latest election maps were drawn.
Two groups had sued the state over the maps, which were drawn by Republicans. As part of the case the state was required to turn over certain documents, but not all were handed over in a timely manner.
A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report says the plaintiffs now want to search the relevant computers to see whether any other documents were improperly withheld. But the groups say they're not being told where those computers are.
So they sought subpoenas for Vos and others in hopes of finding the computers.
Vos said last week he didn't know anything about where they were.
