Internships help students develop writing portfolios and learn professional work attitudes, while building relationships with potential future employers and establishing professional contacts.
Communication and the Internship: The Roles of Program Directors and Teachers in Facilitating Change
This panel addresses the necessity of dialogue within and about the technical communication workplace of the future as it mixes scholarship, classroom practice, and the reports of corporate technical communication managers to offer a comprehensive approach to the analysis of internship data and the productive use of internship experiences.

Communication and the Internship: The Roles of Program Directors, Teachers, and Corporate Supervisors in Facilitating Change
The quality of internships for students and for employers is highly influenced by how well the students and employers are prepared for them. In this segment, we discuss how academia can prepare students so that students and their employers get the most out of internships. We suggest a model that academia and employers can use to identify skills and knowledge students require now and in the future to ensure successful internships. We identify the need for employers to produce a quality internship environment that takes full advantage of the students' skills and knowledge. And, we'll discuss how academia and employers collaborate to continually enhance the quality of internship programs.

Expanding Internships to Enhance Academic-Industry Relations: A Perspective in Stakeholder Education
To improve technical communication education, educators and internship providers need to find ways to revise internship experiences so that educators, internship providers, and students/interns can use internship experiences in a way that benefits all three parties. This article uses a stakeholder education approach to propose two new kinds of internship processes to benefit all three groups. The first approach--colloquia--allows all three parties to interact via the same scheduled event. The second approach--student publications groups--shifts internship from a workplace to a school activity. By including such approaches into their curricula, technical communication programs can both improve their relationships with local internship providers and improve the training received by their students.

The Faculty Internship Panel provides a guideline and model for faculty internship programs. Although technical communicator internships, particularly faculty internships in the corporate environment, are generally considered a good idea. They are difficult to set up. The Austin STC chapter (in collaboration with members of the Austin Technical Communications Mangers' Focus Group and the Technical Communications Department at Austin Community College) set up and ran a successful pilot Faculty Internship program. A panel offaculty interns and corporate sponsors provide pointers in planning, implementing, and evaluating such a program.

How to Make a Student Internship Successful
Working in an internship position provides an opportunity for a student to recognize that what they're learning how to do in the classroom has great value beyond the college campus. In my experience, however, in order for the internship to be successful there are a few things to keep in mind.

MTU students, pursuing a degree in Scientific and Technical Communication, are encouraged to seek internship or Co-op opportunities which will provide them with professional experience prior to graduation. This page provides a listing of companies where students have worked in order to enhance their professional growth.
Internships: Getting Your Foot in the Door
Through internships and other practical experiences outside of the traditional employment situation, both students and employers benefit. Students benefit by gaining some work experience that they can put on their resume and employers benefit from lower cost in workforce for a particular project. Most colleges and universities recognize internship experiences related to a student's chosen field of study for credit. These are structured experiences or contracted experiences monitored by a supervisor on the job site and from the school.

Learning from Our Students: Insights from Internships
Wise teachers know how to learn from their students. This paper draws on the work-experience journals of graduate students in Northeastern University's Masters in Technical and Professional Writing (MTPW) program. Written from 1993 through 1996, the journals provide insights from these internships so that we, the teachers, can better prepare future students for the world of technical communication.

Planning Successful Internships: Matchmaking for Organizational Culture
The collaborative nature of information development departments create special challenges for student interns, challenges which require that the student, the academic department, and the information development department can meet with careful planning and preparation. An intern must not only be well prepared academically, with knowledge and skills that support a company's needs; each intern must also understand and accept the organizational culture in which he or she must be deeply involved in order to work and learn effectively. The information development department can use each internship as an occasion to examine its own culture and communication patterns.

Student Internships in Technical Communication
The internship is a very important part of the Scientific and Technical Communication program at the University of Minnesota. Through the internship students learn what it is like to work as technical communicators in the business setting and how to adapt to an organizational culture. The internship experience helps students research decisions about the type of technical communication work they would like to pursue and often leads to jobs offer after graduation. All undergraduate and graduate students are required to complete internships as part of their degree programs.

The Technical Communication Internship
Experiential learning theory provides a theoretical foundation for studying technical communication internships. This study explores, through the perspective of the experiential learning cycle model developed by David Kolb, internships in technical communication. Participants in technical communication internship experiences were asked to provide, from their different perspectives, information that described the experience. Program directors, industrial supervisors, and student interns provided different views of what they had experienced, illustrating that most had entirely different perspectives on their level of participation in creating, supervising, and evaluating this form of educational experience. Besides describing technical communication programs in the United States more comprehensively, the results of this study raise questions about how the respondents perceived their experience and how the "reality" of these perceptions often conflict. When these findings are explored within the epistemology conceptualized by Kolb's experiential learning theory, a framework is established for more systemic procedures and standards that will enhance the internship as a credible learning experience.

Technical Communication Internship Requirements in the Academic Economy: How We Compare among Ourselves and Across Other Applied Fields
This article reports a study of internship requirements in technical communication programs compared with three established professions and one emerging profession that have certification or licensing requirements for practitioners. The study addresses three questions about technical communication internship programs: 1) Are internships offered as a way to fulfill program academic credit requirements? 2) If internships are offered, are they required or elective? 3) What are the minimum/maximum academic credits allowed for internships toward fulfillment of program requirements and the number of workplace hours of internship required? To answer these questions we focused on three elements of internship program management: academic credits, workplace hours per academic credit, and total workplace hours required. Our findings indicate that there is considerable disparity for these factors among programs in our field and that we lack criteria similar to those used in established professions for internships.

Trends in Industry Supervisors' Feedback On Business Communication Internships
The purpose of this empirical study is to explore expectations of industry insiders and identify how student interns are performing in relation to those expectations as defined by 11 performance areas. The results of a survey of 238 industry supervisors were collected over a 5-year period in the departments of English and communication at a private university in the Northeast. While the results suggest that student interns tend to meet their supervisors' expectations in many areas, performance categories such as initiative, writing skills, and oral communication skills require increased attention in the ways we prepare students for their internships and post-graduation employment and, perhaps, the ways we help onsite supervisors develop expectations for and evaluate our interns.

What I Did for My Summer Vacation: A Case Study of a Partnership Between a Product Information Department and a Local High School
The Unisys Mission Viejo facility and the Capistrano Valley High School, both in Mission Viejo, California, were able to achieve a mutually beneficial partnership when an English teacher (Anthony Pastizzo) with an unusual perspective on learning and a Product Information manager (David Robinson) with a strong commitment to education got together. Mr. Pastizzo's summer internship in the Unisys Product Information department led to high school student internships in many departments. Other positive results may also follow. The internships also produced some unexpected positive results within the Unisys facility.

"David Amerson talked to Eric Leak in June of 2012," Kingston said in an email sent to Pack Pride. "It is NOT a NCAA violation for David Amerson to talk to Eric Leak.
"Per his disassociation letter, Eric Leak was notified by NC State that he is not to have contact with our current and future student-athletes in all sports for any purpose during the period of disassociation.
"This ban extends to all forms of in-person contact and all known or future methods of communication. It appears that Eric Leak is in violation of this letter."
The News & Observer confirmed that Leak had contacted Amerson but that it had nothing to do with sports agents.
According to Kingston, any contact is a violation of Leak's disassociation letter.
"When we, NC State University, know about alleged or actual impermissible athlete agent activities, we refer such information to the North Carolina Secretary of State Athlete Agent Registration Office," said Kingston. "This office is responsible for the administration of the North Carolina Uniform Athlete Agents Act (NCUAAA).
"Based on the contact made in June of 2012 and in light of the recent article, we are notifying the North Carolina Secretary of State's Athlete Agent Registration Office of this possible violation of the NCUAAA."
Leak, who played at NC State from 1997-2000, received his disassociation letter for providing impermissible benefits to former NC State basketball player Tracy Smith and current Wolfpack player C.J. Leslie.

Grabbed this shot on the way back to the tube after Scott Kelby's Shoot Like a Pro seminar. I had wanted to shoot a bit in the Westminster area after the seminar and on the way to the station I was worried that I'd missed the good light from sunset as the sky was quite dull. Then a few minutes later I started to see hints of pink showing up so I found a good vantage point and snagged a couple while the light lasted.
Make it cost shoot 15: Hal-Con
The final shoot in the project! Yes, I did make it to my goal of getting 15 shoots in for the year.
This last shoot was a bit special for me, first it's the only shoot for the entire project that I took in my home city of Halifax. As I mentioned before, travel really helped fill in this project for the year and I'm not sure if I would have made it otherwise.
The other reason why this shoot was so important to me was that it involved me getting over my shyness about approaching people and taking their pictures. If anyone else is in a similar boat, my advice is go to something where people like to have their pictures taken. A sci-fi convention is a great opportunity to get some really interesting shoots and the people in costume expect to have their pictures taken. Everyone was really cool about it and it was never a problem.
I still have a way to go before I'd be fully comfortable just walking up to someone on the street and asking if I could take their picture but this was a really big step for me.
Make it cost shoot 14: Bakers Brook Falls
Honestly, I think this shoot was a complete failure. It was a great hike but between the time of day and not having the right gear with me, I feel like it just didn't work. I'm not very happy with the light in this shot and I couldn't handhold a slow enough shutter speed to really get the silky water effect. I really wish I had my tripod with me and an ND filter so that I could get a better effect.
What I ended up doing was handholding several shots and layering them in Photoshop to get a bit of a better blurred water effect but it's still not great. Auto-align layers worked wonders though and the lighten blending mode works for blending in just the water.
I think this is the best shot from the set but really the whole set was a big disappointment.
Make it cost shoot 13: L'anse aux Meadows
The shoot at The Arches was actually part of a longer road trip up to L'anse aux Meadows. I'll warn anyone else attempting this trip, it's a very long drive from Rocky Harbour and the weather can be very iffy up at L'anse aux Meadows. I'd strongly recommend not doing it in 1 day like we did, it' a really long drive each way and very little to stop at along the way.
We did however luck out with great weather when we got there but we had very little time at the viking settlement before we had to turn around and drive back to Rocky Harbour. I stopped one of the interpreters and got this shot. I'm pretty pleased with it for a quick portrait and that I got over my shyness to actually ask someone if I could take their picture.
Make it cost shoot 12: The Arches
This was my second time shooting at this location. I'd made a trip to Newfoundland in 2010 and loved the rock formations at The Arches but struggled with how to shoot them.
This time, I tried some HDR and pano techniques I'd been experimenting with. Unfortunately, no tripod plus slippery rocks made it very difficult to keep my camera steady, especially for the panos, and I've struggled with getting quality results from the series.
However, I did really like this single exposure of the rock formations. It's not the rock arches themselves but I think it still captures some of the unusual formations at the location.
I'm still going through the rest of the images from this shoot and am trying to find ways to get a good treatment but so far haven't come up with anything else I'm happy with.
Make it cost shoot 11: Rocky Harbour
After I got back from New York the 2nd time I fell back into the same pattern of not shooting much around town. Fortunately, I was well ahead of schedule on my goal, but it was still disappointing that I couldn't seem to fit photography into my day to day life.
It was another trip, this time to Newfoundland, that provided the next group of shots. This first one was taken in Rocky Harbour, one of the small towns in Gros Morne National Park. My girlfriend grew up in the area and this is always a special place for her.
This shot is a mild HDR shot, I've tried to keep it fairly realistic but have just pulled a bit of detail out of the hills and the docks so those aren't purely black. I think it works for this shot, it just brings in a little more detail but the clouds and the shadows still look pretty natural. I liked this shot enough to add it to my rural portfolio.
Make it cost shoot 10: The costume shop
A little late with the post today but I'm really trying to stick to a Monday, Wednesday, Friday schedule so I was determined to post something.
This was definitely one of the shoots I was determined to do while I was in New York. My cousin works at a costume shop that makes hats for several of the stage productions. I had a chance to visit the shot and forgot to bring my camera but after I saw the place I knew I had to come back, and fortunately my cousin was gracious enough to let me come back and take pictures of the place.
Honestly, to do this place justice I really need to edit through the entire collection and come up with a photo essay. Every square inch of their workspace was covered in interesting details and it was packed to the rafters with stuff. I'm still trying to sort out what the best way is to tell the story of the place.
This shot is just 1 small detail shot that I liked. It's actually 3 images focus-stacked, a technique I've not tried out before, but I was quite pleased with how well it worked here as there wasn't much light so I had to shoot wide open.
Make it cost shoot 9: Flat-iron District
This was another case of wanting to visit a particular area in New York and struggling with how to do something new with such an iconic piece of architecture. I shot some more stuff in the area but came back to this shot as my favourite.
The colour in this image wasn't that interesting but I found that with a very harsh black and white treatment it really pulls out the detail in the building and works with the graphic nature of this shot.
One point on the border. Normally I'm not much of a fan of the fake film borders on digital images but in this case since I was blowing out the sky almost completely I felt that I needed something on the edges of the image in order to "ground" the shot. Otherwise the sky just sort of bleeds off into nothing and there's no boundary for the edge of the picture. It's a rare case where I felt the border was necessary.
Make it cost shoot 8: Urban details
The trip to New York for work ended up getting me off to a great start with my make it cost project. Before then I hadn't shot anything and after I got back I'd completed 7 of the shoots toward my 15 shoot goal. Unfortunately, when I got back to Halifax the responsibilities of home ownership, combined with being 6 weeks behind on things meant that shooting went back on the back burner. Fortunately, I was at least a little ahead of schedule at this point.
Then work ended up asking if they could send me back to New York for another 3 weeks. I'd barely been back home and I was being sent back. On the one hand I was glad to be going back to New York and to get more shooting in. On the other hand though I was starting to get a little worried that my project was going to just turn into a New York project. Nothing wrong with that, but the point was to making shooting a bigger part of my life and completing the challenge only through travel wasn't what I'd intended.
In order to push myself more I tried to look for some more unusual subjects on this trip. One mini-project I tried was to find unusual urban details and really focus in on them. This was on the sidewalk nearby where I was staying in the financial district. I really like the strong colour and texture in this shot, but overall it's one of the few successful shots from this shoot.
Make it cost shoot 7: New York Botanical Gardens
This was the shoot that I'd originally bought the Lensbaby soft-focus optic for that I used during my Times Square shoot. I found out that the New York Botanical Gardens was doing their orchid show while I was in town and I wanted to try out some soft-focus shots of the flowers.
I spent some time walking through the enormous greenhouse shooting the orchids before I wandered the grounds. It was still early April when I took these shots so a lot of stuff wasn't really out in bloom yet but some areas were quite nice, like the cherry blossoms.
Originally, I wasn't very happy with the shots of the orchid and I was much happier with some of the shots from the grounds, such as the image from above, which I've even used in my rural portfolio. However, since then I've revisited some of the images with some new post-processing techniques to better match my original vision and I came up with the below 4 shots. Overall I think they help accentuate the dreamy quality I was going for in my original vision.
Make it cost shoot 6: The Brooklyn Bridge
Something else that was high on my to-do list while in New York was to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. I ended up doing it on the same day as my financial district shoot. The weather was pretty good and the walk was great.
It's hard to get something new with such an iconic landmark like the Brooklyn Bridge. I do absolutely love working with intersecting lines and the all of the details in bridges so it was hard for me to resist taking this shot. I definitely think it works better as a black and white to just highlight the graphic elements of the bridge.
Make it cost shoot 5: Financial District
As I mentioned before, I was in New York for work, and that work was deep in the financial district. I didn't really spend that much time exploring it but I did want to take the time to shoot down there instead of just focusing on midtown Manhattan.
I ended up taking this shot of the cranes working on the Freedom Tower on my work and I really like the graphic elements of the partially constructed tower with the 2 cranes in the foreground.
Make it cost shoot 4: Lensbaby at Times Square
While I was in New York I made the pilgrimage to B&H Photo. The first time I went it was pretty overwhelming because of the sheer size and the number of people, plus I really didn't have anything in particular in mind to check out.
Later on, I made another trip when I had some things in mind to purchase. One of the things I really wanted to try was a Lensbaby. I'd been really interested with the soft-focus optic and I had something in mind for a shoot for my project that I thought would work really well for it. I picked it up as well as a couple of other useful toys, like a Wacom tablet, which I'm still not using nearly as much as I should but am really enjoying when I do.
When I read through the soft-focus optic's instructions I noticed it said that it didn't work well in high contrast situations. I'd been doing a lot of night shooting in New York so I of course promptly ignored this advice and took it out on the streets of midtown Manhattan at night. What I got from that shoot were some really wild results where every light source revealed the aperture pattern used in the optic in a very strange and distorted way. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
Armed with this strange effect I instantly thought this could really shine at Times Square and I planned to head out to put it to use there. Ultimately though, I didn't get much during that shoot that I was all that happy with. The above image is the best of the bunch from Times Square but I'm still not thrilled with it.
But, I did keep shooting with the Lensbaby on the rest of the way back to my apartment and I definitely got some better results near the Rockefeller Centre and on Lexington Ave. It's definitely a stylized look but it can be a little fun and it's definitely not your typical night shoot.
Make it cost shoot 3: Staten Island ferry
While I was in New York I really wanted to get some shots of lower Manhattan from across the water. The Staten Island ferry proved to be a great vantage point, especially just after sunset. I timed my trips so that on the way across the sun was setting and on the way back it had set.
Unfortunately, it ended up being horribly windy on the trip, especially on the way back and it was very difficult to get a steady shot. This is one is my favorite from the trip but I would have liked to have gotten some more keepers.
Make it cost project shoot 2: St. Patrick's Day Parade
As mentioned for shoot 1, work sent me to New York for 6 weeks in 2012. I happened to be there for St. Patrick's Day so I was excited to try to check out the parade as one of my shoots for my challenge.
In the end, I has missed a lot of the beginning of the parade but I ended up catching the later parts from alongside Central Park. I wasn't really happy with any of the shots of the parade that I took but I did really like this candid shot I got of one of the police officers at the parade. All of them were very friendly with me and were very courteous and even made sure that other people didn't block my shots!
Not my best work but the point of the challenge was to get me shooting more regularly and this was something I really wanted to cover while I was in New York. This became a bit of a recurring them during my challenge that some of the shoots that I had envisioned ahead of time ended up being nothing like what I thought they might be.
Make it cost project shoot 1: Manhattan at Night
These updates are a long time coming. I'd really wanted to get on top of these earlier but, better late than never.
I ended up being very late on getting started on my Make it Cost project last year. I finally got started when my work sent me down to New York City for 6 weeks. That really reinvigorated my creative energy and I got into taking a lot of street shots at night, since I was working during the day. I stayed in an apartment in midtown Manhattan and even just walking within a few blocks I could find so many interesting subjects.
I saw this man looking at the flower shop and I framed it up and just waited for him to move in to look closer. Finally when he leaned forward I knew I had the shot I was looking for. I felt the colours of the flowers were distracting and that it worked far better as the black and white here. I liked it so much that it also made it into my Urban portfolio.
Relaunched site
This has been a bit of a crazy year for me in general, for some reasons I'll be sharing in the near future. Because of that I've been quite remiss in updating the site. But, during that time I had been investigating moving to SquareSpace for my hosting. I'd heard a lot of good things about them and while I liked using Wordpress, I didn't like having to manage everything myself. The big killer feature for me though was the responsive design aspect and that it will handle mobile devices out of the box. That was a big area I wanted to address with my old design and had just never gotten around to it.
So, over the last month or so I began a complete overhaul of my website and I've finally gotten it to the point where I'm ready to push it out with the new design. The domain name transfer has been processed so hopefully by the time this posts it will hit the new site, if not it should be within a day at the most.
I've completely redone my galleries, the old links should still work but I'm not publicizing them anymore. I've cut things down to 2 main portfolios "urban" and "rural". The urban one is a little bigger for now as I've done far more of that type of work but I'm hoping the rural will grow as well. Ideally, I'd like to keep these portfolios as living documents of my best work and I'd like to limit them to no more than 20 images at their peak.
I'd like to promise more frequent updates in the future but I've made that promise in the past and it's fallen through. I'm still struggling with getting a good update schedule in place and at this point I think it's better to just prove things with actions rather than promises up front. Once I've hit on a good schedule and stuck to it for awhile I can start making more promises about keeping it up.
Feel free to let me know what you think about the new design.
Site problems
Noticed today that I was getting some odd errors from SmugMug today so I've had to temporarily disable the SmugMug plugin. That's broken the images on 1 post but has fixed the rest of the issues. Apologies for any inconvenience, I hope to have this fixed up more permanently in the near future.
Are you a maximizer when it comes to photography?
I've been reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and last night I finished off the July chapter which focused on money. In that chapter there was a section which talked about 2 different styles of decision-making processes for buying; what Gretchen refers to as a "satisficer" as opposed to a "maximizer":
Satisficers (yes, satisficers) are those who make a decision or take action once their criteria are met. That doesn't mean they'll settle for mediocrity; their criteria can be very high, but as soon as they find the hotel, the pasta sauce, or the business card that has the qualities they want, they're satisfied. Maximizers want to make the optimal decision. Even if they see a bicycle or a backpack that meets their requirements, they can't make a decision until after they've examined every option, so they can make the best possible choice.
In reading the description of the maximizer I burst out laughing because it described me to a tee. My girlfriend had read the book before me and I asked her if she thought the same thing and she nodded vigorously as I read aloud that description. I like to make informed decisions, I like to know about the things I'm going to purchase before I purchase them. Now just said like that it doesn't sound too unreasonable, but I tend to take it to extremes. I'll spend months doing research deliberating over the pros and cons of different choices, I'll do extensive online searches for information, I'll pour over reviews, I'll try to check out each option in person (sometimes more than once). How bad can it get? A few years ago when I was thinking about buying a barbecue I got to the point where I was reading through reviews on a charcoal review site.
After I put down the book for the night I started thinking that maybe I'm a maximizer in other parts of my life too. I've been spending a lot of time trying to figure out what's been holding me back in pursuing my photography more seriously and I think this is a big part of it. I'm a geek by nature anyway so it's not too surprising that I lust over all sorts of expensive photo gear and it's really easy to say to myself that I need "the best" gear. I also spend an tremendous amount of time reading photo books, watching online training videos and listening to photography podcasts all in order to learn more about photography. While the learning is great and I've certainly expanded my knowledge I'm not applying it, am I waiting for some magic point where I "know it all"?
Taking it further, I struggle a lot with expressing what my vision is and finding my voice, both photographically and even with this site. I don't post as often on the blog because I haven't figured out what I should be talking about. I don't shoot as often as I should because I haven't figured out what I should be shooting. I don't pursue paid photography work because I don't know what paid work I should be pursuing. As a "maximizer" this becomes paralysing because I'm used to not making a decision before I've weighed all the options. What I need to do is remind myself that none of these things have to be permanent decisions and that I may just have to be willing to try something and then change directions if that doesn't work because waiting until I figure it all out may mean that I never figure it all out.
Looking online I'd say there's a lot more people like me out there. Browse any photo site or forum and you'll find tons of people spending hours upon hours of time debating every technical aspect, which camera is "better", what's the "best" lens, which camera has the lowest noise at high ISOs, etc, etc, etc. Instead of going out there and shooting with the equipment we do have we chose to sit in front of our computers in the never-ending search for that best possible choice instead of being satisfied with what we have, which more than likely meats all of our criteria.
2012 Challenge - Make it cost
Okay, I'm a little late on posting this. I had the idea just before New Years but then I let other things keep me from posting this a little earlier. I started even second-guessing myself about posting it at this point but the entire goal of this post is to challenge myself for the upcoming year and to hopefully inspire others to do the same. The other important piece of this is that this is about setting goals and challenging yourself and while New Year's is a typical time for doing this there's absolutely no reason why you can't start at any time in the year with any time frame that works for you. I've been thinking a lot about what I want to achieve photographically in 2012 and really it all kept coming back to the idea that I want to shoot more often. The other piece of this was I wanted to make sure to give myself a strong incentive to follow through with this goal. Last year while attending Dane Sander's Fasttrack Photographer workshop Dane talked about when change happens and what it takes for it to happen. One of the pieces for making change happen that he talked about is what is it going to cost you. If the status quo isn't costing you anything then you're not going to change. This is often where New Year's resolutions fall apart, how often do you make a resolution and even while making it know that you're not going to keep it?
I knew that I wanted to shoot more but I needed to come up with something more specific that I could measure. In the end I decided to settle on the number of shoots that I'd do in 2012. I didn't shoot very often in 2011 so this is a good measure for me. I've decided to aim for 15 shoots in 2012. Now to clarify, what I mean by a "shoot" is not simply going out for an afternoon shooting but I mean something where I've come up with a specific concept and then shot that concept. Alternatively, if someone is paying me to shoot something then that session will count as a "shoot". 15 may sound low to some people but by that criteria I only did 1 or 2 shoots all of last year so this is a big increase. I also have a full-time day job so I'm most likely going to be limited to evenings and weekends for this unless I take time off.
So with my goal covered the next thing was to come up with a cost for this, what was failing going to cost me? I decided to go for the "all or nothing" approach. If I fail in this goal this year I will be giving away all of my camera gear. Should I fail I will setup some type of contest for determining who will receive my Nikon D700, 24-70 f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4 and any other equipment I currently have or may acquire this year. Basically I'm saying that if I can't make shooting a priority in my life then shooting won't be in my life.
Now obviously this is a contest which I have no intention in having to follow through with but the point is this is creating a motivation for me to get out there and shoot more often. To get 15 shoots done this year I'm going to have to average at least 1 a month and then manage to swing 2 shoots a month at least 3 times to make up the goal. I hope to post status updates throughout the year to keep you all apprised on how things are going and what challenges I'm facing.
Now for the inspiration part, I'd really like to put this challenge out to you as well. Are you willing to set some goals and make failing cost for you? What goals do you have, what will you make it cost? If you're willing to take up my challenge (and it doesn't even have to be photo-related) then I encourage you to share your goals publicly as well as what you'll do if you fail. To help track this I'm going to encourage people to share their stories on Twitter and Google+ using the hashtag #Makeitcost. I'm really hoping that I can inspire others to challenge themselves to do more great things and to stick to it. It doesn't matter what the goal is or what the cost is, but make it something that will challenge yourself and that costs enough that you won't want to fail.
Incidentally, you can follow me on Twitter at @AndrewDacey and on Google+as Andrew Dacey.

Grilled Peppered Raspberry Glazed Pork Tenderloin
Recipe by Diane C 2
I needed something quick for dinner and here's what I came up with from things in my pantry. To change things up a bit I used peppered raspberry preserves in the glaze. Incredible!! I grilled this indoors on my cooktop grill or it can also be baked in the oven and glazed the last several minutes of cooking. Here are a couple websites in case you have trouble finding peppered raspberry preserves and tangerine balsamic vinegar: http://www.chefsresource.com/hot-raspberry.html http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000PYBUJG/ref=asc_df_B000PYBUJG697635?smid=A1UDJLN42XMTIJ&tag=dealt155176-20&linkCode=asn http://www.fustinis.com/store/products.asp?cat=11&pg=3
Top Review by gemini08
I had made some Habanero - Raspberry Jelly last year and was looking for recipes to use it on. I selected this one and I am so glad I did, this was fabulous! I followed the recipe and was at first a little concerned that I might not like the horse radish in the sauce, however, it was delicious and complimented the mustard and pepper jelly very nicely. It made a beautiful glaze and kept the meat wonderfully moist! Great recipe! Made and reviewed for PAC Spring 2013
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 (1 -2 lb) pork tenderloin
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 14 ounces peppered raspberry preserves
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 3 teaspoons tangerine balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Directions See How It's Made
- Brush pork with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Let meat come to room temperature (about 30 minutes out of refrigerator). Make glaze: combine remaining ingredients in saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and allow to thicken slightly. Heat grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill meat and cook to internal temperature of 155 degrees F (approx. 25 minutes). Glaze meat the last 5-10 minutes of cooking time. Let meat rest 5-10 minutes and slice.

refrigerator not cooling correctly
kenmore refrigerator model 253.61662101...refrigerator not cooling well enough....fan is working and blowing air from freezer but it just does not seem to be cold enough....also up until about 5 days ago water was settling on top shelf of refrigerator where fan blows cold air but that stopped, I don't know if that means anything or not....gasket around door is clean and working fine, refrigerator is sitting level..
freezer freezing? what is the temp in freezer?
refrigerator not cooling correctly
Everything in freezer is frozen as should be but I don't know the temp.
if the freezer temp is adequate ( yet to be determined) and not enough cool, then you will have an airflow problem. You will have to take the back panel off the evaporator coil and look for either a heavy frost build up or your air damper iced up.
Another quick step you can do is open the fridge door and put your hand on the vents where the cold air enters . Do you feel and air flow? Yes? Check to see if your condenser coils are free of dirt ,lint ect. If NO(you do NOT feel air flow) than you might have a defrost problem and you will need to look at your evaporator coil which will be located if freezer section behind the back panel as discussed by ''hardwareman''.

-Used debug mode to turn off the turn limit and help me in a few other situations as well. Actually, it doesn't make much sense to me to set a turn limit at all in such RPG. In slash'em (well-known RPG which this addon gives me a great feeling of ) the only real chance you have to survive is running away to heal and upgrade and then come back to take on the fight which was too difficult. This is only possible without time limit. Just remove any sources of infinite income and experience. It's difficult enough via the fights.
-It looks as if I should've been able to use the key to open doors, that didn't work. Unless I'm actually too dumb to figure it out.
-Upon leveling the resistances upgrades of the sorceress got lost (not quite sure).
-The sorceress etc cost upkeep that should probably not happen since it's been a player character in MP which never cost upkeep.
-The stderr log spams a lot of evil stuff (at every side turn for instance) such as
error engine: failed to auto-store $unit at (-999,-999)
error engine: failed to auto-store $unit at (0,0)
error engine: Formula in WML string cannot be evaluated due to Unrecognized token
--> "Galamor . shop . rfrleft |Galamor.shop.rblleft|Galamor.shop.rimleft|Galamor.shop.rprleft|Galamor.shop.racleft|Galamor.shop.ralleft|"
20111215 01:32:40 error engine: Formula in WML string cannot be evaluated due to Unrecognized token
which tend to be severe bugs. Could be something of the above however.
vultraz wrote:So are you saying remove the continuos attacking, as well as turn limit?
vultraz wrote:Espreon said I could ignore some (eh the "error engine: failed to auto-store $unit at (-999,-999)"
Anonymissimus wrote:Well it feels more RPG-ish to not have a turn limit I'd say. Based on my experience with RPGs (which is basically nethack and its variant slash'em only). In those the continuous attacking does exist nonetheless though, I thought you might want to remove it to not spit infinite experience at the player.
Anonymissimus wrote:And you need to rebalance it in any case, since the player has no way to move the other units until he's found them.
Anonymissimus wrote:IMHO thou shalt not ignore any stderr warnings or errors. Such messages can be caused by using the string "unit" as a variable name, which you should not since the engine confuses it with the magic variable "unit", even in events which don't have such variable. Other than that "failed to auto-store $var" is certainly something a wml author should worry about.

Birth Control For The Future
Imagine a futuristic way of using birth control… WITHOUT A PILL!!!! Well, this future may not be too far away!!!
A start up in Massachusetts has come with a new idea of birth control… A REMOTE CONTROLLED CHIP THAT LASTS 16 YEARS!!!!
Possibly say GOODBYE to pills and HELLO to the future!!! The wireless chip automatically releases contraceptive hormones into the person's body. Don't worry though because you ARE able to shut it off with a remote.
Now there are some pros and cons to this… THERE ARE NO MORE PILLS!!!!Although… Apparently the chip can be hacked and there is the issue of having confusion with the remote which can possibly create certain problems.
Hopefully once all the glitches are worked out, this will be THE FUTURE!!!!

I'm tall. I laugh easily and loudly. I love music and art.
People are fond of giving me nicknames, and just about all of them seem to stick, at least for a little while.
I almost always wake up with a random song in my head. It's like my brain's music library is on shuffle while I sleep and it lands on a song right as I wake up. I'm always listening to music if I can help it.
I like Reading, drawing, music, hiking, camping, movies. I don't like reality tv.
I love dogs, but I prefer big dogs. Not a huge cat fan, but I have nothing against them. My dog Loki is a huge pain in the ass most of the time, but he's still a rad dog.
I love Italian food, Mexican food, and a good burger. I eat red meat. I love red wine and beer.
I am a Batman fan. Sorry, it was going to come out sooner or later (most likely sooner).
I have 3 nephews who I love and are like my own sons. They call me Uncle Pony because when my oldest nephew was 2, he couldn't say Uncle Tony, so he said Pony instead, and it stuck (remember how I said people are fond of giving me nicknames?). NOTE - I am NOT a brony.
I love to travel when I am able to. I've been to London, Dublin, Paris, and various places in Italy. I love the outdoors and camping.
I love to laugh, and will laugh at myself just as easily as anything else. I don't take myself too seriously.
My family is awesome and I'm lucky to have them.
I've been a fan of zombie movies/stories all of my life, and find it odd/interesting that zombies are so hugely popular all of a sudden.
I draw, sketch. or doodle on nearly every piece of paper in my immediate vicinity. I used to get in trouble for doing it when I was in school.
I'm a fan of bad puns and bad jokes.
I've had the over-powering urge to play in a band again. At this point, I just want to do it for fun because I love playing. If you play an instrument, let's jam.
Working currently, doing Information Security.
I want to be a writer. I'm going through a creative dry spell at the moment, so creating is harder right now than it usually is for me. Trying to find that new source of inspiration that will reinvigorate my creative side.
I am seriously considering joining a band or starting one. I love playing music with people. It seriously is one of the most rewarding experiences to me, even if no one ever hears the songs.
I enjoy making people laugh, intentionally and unintentionally (this happens to me more often than you would think).
I'm really good at Batman, Star Wars, and Star Trek trivia.
I'm also really good at hitting my head on things. The world was not made for tall people.
I'm also pretty good at usually being one of the few males out on the dance floor, especially when I've had a few drinks. I dance like nobody is watching, even though people probably are.
TV Shows: Heroes (first season), Arrested Development, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Archer, Star Trek: TNG, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Firefly, X-Files, That 70's Show, The Simpsons (at least the earlier seasons), Robot Chicken, Futurama, Batman The Animated Series, Law & Order, Malcolm in the Middle, Lost, The Office, Archer, Psych, Adventure Time, and pretty much anything scientific/historical.
I was an extra on the Sy-Fy show Face Off twice. I typically cannot stand "reality" tv, but I was given the opportunity to be on the show, so I did it for the experience. First I was a zombie, and then I was an orc.
Books: I LOVE To read. I used to read every side of the cereal box when I was a kid. I will give anything a shot. I tend to prefer sci-fi/fantasy and horror stories. Neil Gaiman, H.P. Lovecraft, horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and graphic novels are my usual haunts.
Music: Nirvana, The Ramones, Tool, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, The Wipers, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The Stooges, MC5, Presidents of the USA, They Might Be Giants, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, The Descendents, Bad Brains, Superdrag, X, The Beatles, Tom Petty, Johnny Cash, DEVO, Atmosphere, Dessa, Hum, The Toadies, The Misfits, the New York Dolls, William Elliott Whitmore, Tom Waits, Babes in Toyland, Mudhoney, Sleater-Kinney, Weird Al, The Cure, Bikini Kill, and many many more. I love discovering new music/bands.
2. Books
3. Guitar
4. Family
5. Friends
6. My dog, Loki
Whether I would be a hero or a villain if I had super powers.
What I would do if I had a monkey butler.
Why kids and dogs seem to live me so much.
What it would be like to walk across the earth, solving mysteries and fighting crime.
If Kanye West is indeed a gay fish.
I want to start a band called either the Whore Moans, or Oedipus Rex and the Motherfuckers.
If you love hugs.
If you love to go camping. Or hiking. Or both.
If you love punk music. Or just music in general.
If you're down to fight zombies during the zombie apocalypse.
If you sing loudly (either with skill or not) in your car, even if someone is looking at you. Also, if you like to dance. You don't have to be good at it. Just get on the dance floor with me, and let's make asses out of ourselves.
If you like horror movies.
If you like to read, and will share books with me.
If you want a genuine, loyal, and trustworthy dude who just loves to laugh, loves having a good conversation, and loves going somewhere new.
Also, if you like making out, cuz making out is pretty rad.

Queen + Adam Lambert: More Australian and New Zealand Shows Added!
Born Free Single - Now Available in the US and Canada
The new Brian May and Kerry Ellis single 'Born Free' is now available to buy and download in the US and Canada!
Acoustic Version (iTunes)
Large Scale Version (iTunes)
'Born Free' was first recorded by Matt Monro in 1966 as the title song to the classic wildlife film of the same name, starring Virginia McKenna OBE and the late Bill Travers, which told the story of George and Joy Adamson's successful release of Elsa, an orphaned lioness, to the wild. Inspired by their experiences in Kenya, Virginia and Bill went on to establish the Born Free Foundation.
The music and lyrics to 'Born Free' combined the extraordinary talents John Barry (Out of Africa, Dances with Wolves) and Don Black (Diamonds are Forever, The Man with the Golden Gun), collaborators on some of the most enduring film scores of our time. With May's driving guitar riffs and Kerry's power-packed vocals, this is very much a new and exciting evolution of 'Born Free' the song.
Brian said; "We paid a lot of respect to this iconic song and were fortunate to have Don Black himself write some special new lyrics as we put our own mark on this awesome and moving track. We hope that people will really like what we have done and that it will contribute to the long-lasting legacy of this great piece of music."
'Born Free' is widely recognised and loved all over the world and has been covered by some of the greats such as Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams.
The single was recorded by Brian and Kerry following a recent visit to South Africa to see the work of the Born Free Foundation first-hand. There they were involved in the relocation of two rescued lions at the Born Free Centres at the Shamwari Wildlife Reserve and went on to perform at the launch ofPride of Cape Town, a massive public arts exhibition of fibreglass lions, scheduled for Spring 2013.
Kerry said; "Seeing Born Free's invaluable welfare and conservation work to help Africa's lions really moved us to re-record a song which means so much to so many people. We hope we have done it proud and that the funds raised by the downloads will help the charity continue to protect fragile populations of lions in the wild."
Throughout the years 'Born Free' has remained an enduring anthem that magically tugs at the heart strings; a powerful legacy of a film that told the story of a lioness named Elsa and her journey to freedom, made possible by two great conservationists, George and Joy Adamson.
The release of the single ties in with Brian and Kerry performing a series of intimate UK concert tour dates, also in support of the Born Free Foundation (for full listing of dates see below). The single is accompanied by a powerful promotional video focussing on the plight of lions, filmed in South Africa by the award-winning director Mike Slee (Flight of the Butterflies, 2012) and featuring Virginia McKenna.
Virginia is clearly delighted by this new version and said, "Born Free is re-born! Brian, Kerry, and Don have brought a new energy and a new meaning to a song, known and loved all over the world. Mike has made a magical film. If Born Free can touch the hearts of a new generation then maybe there is still time to save Africa's wild lions. How fortunate we are at Born Free to receive this priceless support from people such as Brian and Kerry who share our deep concern and love for wild animals and their place in the world."
Members of the public are urged to alert the global online community about the song and to sign Born Free's online Petition where they can pledge their support for lion protection and conservation. Visit www.bornfree.org.uk/bfsingle
Available in three formats, including a large-scale production and acoustic version, the 'Born Free' single is a digital only release.

text: Tyson Foods As Tyson Foods to Cut 400 Jobs By Jonathan Baker • Aug 19, 2015 IBP As cattle supplies dwindle, Tyson Foods is permanently closing its plant in Denison, Iowa. The plant closing will result in a loss of 400 jobs to the area, says Omaha's KETV. Tyson said it's reducing its beef production due to a continued lack of available cattle. The company said while it plans to close the plant, it will keep the rendering operation open. Workers impacted by the cuts are being offered work at other Tyson plants. The beef plant opened in 1961. Tyson plans to eliminate human antibiotics from its chickens By Cindee Talley • May 1, 2015 Tyson Foods is the country's largest poultry producer. The company will stop feeding its chickens human antibiotics. Farmers raising livestock often add low-level antibiotics in an effort to treat disease, prevent disease from spreading, and also to help animals grow more quickly. Hog farmers split on packer-owned pigs By Grant Gerlock • Mar 27, 2014 Grant Gerlock/Harvest Public Media Nebraska hog farmers aren't seeing eye-to-eye on a proposal that would allow meatpacking companies more control over the state's hog industry. And farmers all over the country are watching. Currently, a 1998 state law bans meatpacking companies from owning and raising the hogs they process. But lawmakers have proposed an end to the ban, which would allow for more vertical integration of the hog industry. In the Shadows of the Slaughterhouse: Noel, MO Schools build safety net for immigrant children By Abbie Fentress Swanson • Oct 28, 2013 Abbie Fentress Swanson/Harvest Public Media Listen Listening... / 5:00 Hear the audio version of Abbie's story NOEL, MO - It's almost 9 a.m., and Noel Primary School teacher Erin McPherson is helping a group of Spanish-speaking students complete English language exercises. But it's tough going. One student in a bright blue T-shirt – 9-year-old Isac Martinez – has not yet picked up his pencil. He's clearly sick. When McPherson asks him what's wrong, Isac's small voice is barely audible in between coughs. He says he threw up four times last night but did not go to a doctor. Tyson suspends use of controversial cattle feeding drug By Peggy Lowe • Aug 12, 2013 oklahomafarmreport.com Tyson Foods, Inc., announced last week that it will soon suspend purchases of cattle that had been treated with a controversial drug, citing animal welfare concerns. But many in the industry wonder if the real reason is not about cattle, but rather the battle for sales in other countries, where using drugs for meat production is banned. "I really do think this is more a marketing ploy from Tyson to raise some awareness so they can garner some export business from our overseas export partners," said Dan Norcini, an independent commodities broker.

There's a database connection problem at the site, currently, but luckily the Catholic League e-mailed me a press release chastising ... me.
This, of course, being a response to my column today at The Philly Post. I suggested that Chaput's priorities—which seem to come down mostly to "making war" on Obama—probably weren't doing much to fix a diocese afflicted with pedophile scandals and lawsuits, massively declining enrollment in the parochial schools, and declining attendance at mass. That still seems true to me.ARCHBISHOP CHAPUT WILL NOT BE SILENCEDCatholic League president Bill Donohue comments on an article that appears today as a post on the Philadelphia magazine blog site by Joel Mathis:
Joel Mathis isn't Catholic, but that doesn't stop him from giving some heady advice to Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput: just tend to the problems in the archdiocese and drop your criticisms of the Obama administration. Mathis is angry that Chaput has a new e-book coming out tomorrow, A Heart on Fire: Catholic Witness and the Next America, that addresses recent attacks on religious liberty. Mathis counsels Chaput to "concentrate on fixing the Catholic Church in Philadelphia," adding that the archbishop's alleged "anti-Obama crusade" amounts to "a distraction."
Catholics like to lecture the outspoken archbishop as well. Last September, no sooner had Archbishop Chaput taken over in Philly when Catholic attorney Nicholas Cafardi offered his instructions. Noting that Chaput likes to comment on the big issues of the day, he said, "Chaput would be well-advised to leave politics aside."
But Archbishop Chaput will have none of it: he will not be silenced. Indeed, he is delightfully insubordinate—nothing will stop him from opining on anything he wants, and nothing will stop him from faithfully serving his archdiocese. That's precisely why the Catholic League loves him—he's a man of steely determination and incredible fortitude.
I wasn't really trying to silence the archbishop—I doubt, in fact, that I have any ability to do so. That said: "Delightfully insubordinate?" To whom is Chaput actually subordinate and cheeky? Is he sassing the pope? No? Maybe Donohue's comments are a bit outlandish.
Then again, it's Bill Donohue, last seen in the New York Times urging bishops to treat the victims of priest sex abuse as enemies of the Catholic Church. "The church has been too quick to write a check, and I think they've realized it would be a lot less expensive in the long run if we fought them one by one," Mr. Donohue said. That's a Christ-like ethic, no? If I've irritated Bill Donohue, then it's frankly a happy day.

Social workers have said that the weight of caseloads they have to deal with on a daily basis is unrealistic, too demanding and places too much strain on their work and personal lives.
One social worker said that it is normal to work 12 hours straight without any breaks, and take work home on a daily basis.
The problem is becoming so big that a recent survey conducted by the Social Workers Union (SWU) revealed that 81% of social workers expressed concern at unmanageable caseloads, with more than half (56%) claiming to be "very concerned".
Do you feel that you are struggling on a day-to-day basis to meet the needs of service users? Are there too many cases to balance, too much paper work and not enough time and resources?
Or is balancing your time and work effectively something that just comes with the territory in social work? Do you find that caseload management is just something that you learn to cope with?

I just wanted to know what exactly is wrong and how much it would cost so I can bring it to a mechanic and get it fixed. I have a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier Coupe, and it is having a lot of problems. The first one is The gas line got ripped out when we tried to pull it out of the mud. Now it is difficult to get the car started and fully running, you have to pump the gas for a while to get the gas running threw the lines and in the motor.
Also it has problems with the transmission cause it wont shift into 2nd gear if your don't let the RPM get up to 5 then let off the gas and let it shift itself. Then when you go to get on the interstate and get up to speed the car acts like its gonna die so you gotta let off the gas and let the motor settle then get up and go. When you just start the car and get it running right and when you start going and the RPM get up to 4 it dies and you have to start all over.
Then it kinda makes a funny noise when you turn on the A/C on the interstate. It kinda sounds like a Diesel Truck engine. Its very loud. Then when you go to make a sharp turn even to like turn in a parking lot, basically if your turn the wheel more than one time it starts making a popping noise and a grinding noise. It is having a lot of problems and ive had it for only a year. It has 155,000 miles on it.
have the same problem?

tape and float - tape is coming off!
I've done construction for years but not really tape and floating and have never been very good at it. Doing it nowafter many years my frist piece of paper for the joints is getting air underneath it which I can't see to work out - the paper begins to curl away.
for running joint paper should I
1. put a bed of mud down first and then put the paper on top and work in - or
2. wet the paper first or coat with mud before putting on the wall.
Try this...
After the initial thin bed is down over the joint, put the tape on hold at one end and drag the knife down applying pressure to the tape...some will leak out the edge and the tape will embed in the mud...thats the best way I can describe it...that gets all the air out from behind the tape...
Thank you for a quick response - I'll peruse the forum from time to time and see where I can help others. ugh - sheetrock! I much prefer rough framing!
1.) Make sure that you put a thick consistent coat of compound over the seam before you apply your dry tape. That should be done using a 6" knife. Thus, the width of your 'line' of compound should be approximately the width of your knife...6". You NEVER want to apply a thin coat of compound when applying paper tape. The thickness should be about 1/4" of spread compound. Maybe a little thicker until you get the hang of it.
(Paper tape bubbles and peels off when there is not enough compound sandwiched between the paper tape and the sheetrock surface. The compound acts like a glue...an adhesive...so the key is to make sure that you get enough on there.)
2.) After you place a nice straight strip of paper tape onto the compound 'line'. DO NOT start wiping at the end of the tape. If you start at the end of the tape...you will just pull the whole line of tape in the direction of your wipe.
What to do:
Tip #1:
Using your hand, taping pan, edge of a hawk...Firmly apply pressure to hold down the tape end that is closest to the end you want to start wiping down. Then come in about 4" or so and start wiping in your preferred direction. Before you start your wipe do the next step:
Tip #2:
Take just a little dab of compound onto the end of your 6" knife to act as a 'lubricant' to wipe down your very 'dry' paper tape. Place a little bit at the point where you will start your wipe down. By doing so, you won't pull the tape with you, as you wipe it down. It stays there and your knife travels down the course of your tape.
Wipe in an even motion to squeeze the compound out from the sides.
When you are done, go back and wipe that little 4" area in the opposite direction to the other end of the tape...
Tip #3:
Taping is really all in the wrist.
Like swinging a hammer....you should lock your wrist when you are taping in a particular direction.
Example: When you are wiping down tape at waist level, horizontally.
Locking your wrist keeps the pressure consistant when you are wiping down and squeezing out the compound from underneath your tape. Be careful not to squeeze out all the compound or this too will cause bubbles...don't over-wipe your tape.

The amount of BAD and ill trained drivers in So. California is shocking. This is going to sound "all my grandpa", but how can SO many people have a drivers license, if they do not even speak English? The vast majority of foreigners here in L.A. NEVER had a license or even drove a car in their home country....yet they come here and put themselves behind the wheel of a Yukon or Ford Expedition. Driving here is soooo scary. Especially in The Ghost....they are trying to take pictures or videos of my car, with their smart phones. Insanity!!!
The 7 Series is a very, very safe car. I am glad you are ok, and that you leased. We had a BAD accident in an X5...damage was almost $30,000!!! Insurance at first tried to fix, until I went ballistic on them, and they agreed to total the car (sadly after I had to get legal help, threatening them).
