The recent advances in photonic technology will allow deploying flexgrid-based optical core networks in the near future. Although that technology favors more efficient spectrum utilization, multilayer IP/MPLS-over-flexgrid networks would still be needed to groom together client flows, coming from access and metro networks, into optical connections. In this scenario, multi-flow transponders (MF-TPs) will provide additional flexibility allowing reconfiguration of optical connections to be performed. To be operated, a distributed control plane together with a centralized Path Computation Element (PCE) could be used. In the event of a failure, tens or hundreds of client flows could become disconnected and thus, restoration routes need to be found by the PCE for these flows. In standard restoration, path computation for each client flow is performed which derives into resource contention as a result of several connections trying to use some common resources, and poor resource utilization as a result of the reduction of grooming levels. In this paper, we deal with these problems and solve the DYNamic restorAtion in Multi-layer IP/MPLS-over-flexgrid Optical networks (DYNAMO) problem. Client flows' restoration requests are grouped into a single bulk in the PCE. Afterwards, a Global Concurrent Optimization (GCO) module solves the DYNAMO problem finding routes for all the flows in the bulk. The DYNAMO problem is modeled by using mathematical programming. However, as a consequence of its complexity and the stringent times within which the problem has to be solved, a GRASP-based heuristic is used. Exhaustive simulation results performed on two national core topologies show that a PCE with a GCO module solving DYNAMO highly improves restorability and reduces remarkably the number and capacity of MF-TPs, at the expense of some increment in restoration times.

25-Minute Beef and Snow Pea Stir Fry
Are you guys enjoying the weekly meal plans? It personally helps me out a lot too because I forget how much content I have on this blog. I have almost five years worth of recipes and it's fun to dig back into the archives and find them and resurface them for you guys!
If you're having trouble thinking about what to make for dinner tonight, if what I have on week 2's meal plan isn't what you had in mind, you should totally run out real quick and get the ingredients for this recipe. 25 minutes is all it takes! I love it!
Growing up, this 25-minute beef and snow pea stir fry was one of my favorite meals that my mom would make. She was seriously super woman. Coming home from a long day of work and still getting dinner on the table for the entire family. Now I'm in her shoes and really respect her for doing what she did to ensure that we wouldn't have to eat out or eat something unhealthy.
25-Minute Beef and Snow Pea Stir Fry
This 25-minute beef and snow pea stir fry is the perfect weeknight dinner option!
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons michiu Chinese cooking wine*
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 10 ounces snow peas
- 3/4 pound thinly sliced flank steak
- In a measuring cup, whisk together soy sauce, water, cooking wine, brown sugar, and corn starch. Set aside.
- In a skillet, over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil. Once oil is heated, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the snow peas and cook until bright green, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate.
- Add the flank steak to the skillet and cook until mostly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the snow peas back into the skillet then pour sauce in. Let simmer and thicken for 3-5 minutes, stirring and tossing to incorporate everything.
- Serve with white rice.
Recipe Notes
If you don't have michiu Chinese cooking wine, you can use mirin, which is Japanese cooking wine.

Unanswered: revoking syscat access from DBADM authority
hello everybody,
i am having db2 9.7 on aix 6.1 and would liek to do following:
I have a user with DBADM rights and want to remove access (select insert update delete) to the syscatalog tables. I have tried revoking dbadm privilege and explicitely revoking dataaacess and accessctrl. After that I regranted dbadm without dataaccess and without accessctrl, but I assume dbadm always has the ability to access those tables right? Is there any other way or is it even possible? the dbadm needs to be kept on that user.
thank you

As far as i know, you cannot revoke any access from the person who holds DBADM. best way is to grant him the privilages required .. rather than revoking the acccess from system tables- Ananth

text: So we actually have our flight the day AFTER we get back from our cruise. I was wondering what are interesting things to do ( free or otherwise ) *anywhere* between Port Canaveral/Cocoa Beach and MCO. That being said, I think we're already planning on Kennedy Space Center, but what else have people done after a cruise with time to space. P.S. The group we're with has officially put Disney/Universal OFF the table. Otherwise, for us that would be a no-brainer. Especially with New Fantasyland that will be open by then.

A dumb euphemism
So my new calling is to teach Sunday school to the 12-18 year olds. Yes, that's right, all the youth are in one class. One of the many joys (I'm saying this seriously, not ironically) of a small ward. It can be a challenge to teach in a way that is both interesting to the older kids and not boring to the younger ones, but sometimes I do it.
Anyway, this past week went really well. We studied Jacob 1-4 in the Book of Mormon. We talked about how Nephi got old and decided that separation of church and state seemed like a good idea, anointed some nameless dude to be king, and consecrated Jacob (and Joseph, as a footnote) to be preachers. We talked about how Jacob took his calling as a preacher very seriously and we talked about the three main sins he preached against: (1) love of riches/pride, (2) sexual sin, and (3) racism.
As I prepared the lesson, though, I noticed how the manual only once uses the word "sexual" and only once uses the word "unchastity". Instead, it refers repeatedly to "immorality." First, I just thought this was strange. It seemed like some kind of weird, harmless, victorian squeamishness. Then I started to think about the (probably unintended) implications of this particular euphemism. The manual says
"After warning the people about pride and the love of riches, Jacob called them to repentance for their immoral behavior. How were the Nephites rationalizing their immoral behavior?"
It then asks
"Why is it important to be morally clean?"
And then this:
"What must a person do to be forgiven of immorality?"
My problem with this particular wording is that it implies that "pride and the love of riches" are not "immoral behavior," that avoiding sexual sin is equivalent to being "morally clean" and that there is some kind of different, harder kind of repentance to be forgiven for sexual sin than for other kinds of sin.
The danger of this euphemism, I think, is that using "immorality" as code for sexual sin allows us to let ourselves off the hook too easily. And it reflects, I think, a larger problem. We are so obsessed with sex in our culture, that at times (especially for the youth) it begins to eclipse every other sin. The danger is that we may begin to think that if we're not fornicating, we're doing just fine. I'm all for being more optimistic and I believe strongly that discouragement and guilt are almost always diabolically inspired. One of Satan's most effective lies is that forgiveness is too hard. But his other lie is that it is too easy.
If a prophet says "don't do anything immoral" and I think, "well, I may be a hypocrite and grind on the faces of the poor, but at least I'm not a fornicator, so I'm alright," then I'm not in a good position. Of course if I listen to everything the prophets say, then I'll probably get the message that there's more to it. But in our sound-byte world, that may be asking a lot. For example: how many times did we hear the phrase "tender mercies" in 2005? Now we even have a song about it. Now, how many times did we actually read or discuss the talk Elder Bednar gave where he quoted Nephi talking about the tender mercies of the Lord? I even heard people talk as though Elder Bednar had authored the phrase rather than Nephi. I don't fault Elder Bednar for the fact that people listened to only one phrase of his talk, I just think it reflects the fact that our society does not do well remembering anything longer than a sound-byte.
Now I'm sure that the CES committee that wrote the manual didn't use the "immorality" euphemism with some ill-intent to make it easy to justify ourselves. I'm sure they really were only motivated by an odd, perhaps subconscious, victorian aversion to speaking of sex. But the point is that words matter. See, e.g., Elder Holland. We can't afford to be careless with our words. We should be precise and accurate, we should speak in a way that we cannot easily be taken out of context and twisted, confused, or misremembered. All sexual sin==immorality, but all immorality=/=sexual sin. I bristle at this euphemism. Let's just call it what it is. As Nephi said, I glory in plainness.

Beautiful little dove, Bonnie and what wise, wise words! Love the presentation and background colours too! ;o)
Thanks a million, Krys. Doves seldom come to my feeders, but this one surprised me with its presence. I was thrilled!
Thank you very very much, Olga; I am so happy you thought this was worthy of a featured spot. God bless you.
Beautiful Bonnie, lovely piece of work.
Thank you very much, Barry.
Thank you very much, Lorilee! I am honored.
congrats on the well deserved feature!
Thank you very much, Caroline. I've been trying to photograph doves for a long time; this one showed up very surprisingly and lingered just long enough to give me time to get a few shots.
They do look so innocent don't they. There are a few pairs of Mourning Doves near my home. I've yet to get a shot I love! They are pretty shy and frighten easy. I love your work here, Bonnie! Beautifully done! I love the colorful background!
I know how you feel, Lisa; they are very skittish and those large eyes don't miss the slightest movement. They take off like rockets and the moment is lost. I was blessed to get this one, though. Hope you get yours, too!
Beautiful card, congrats! ;>

Charlie MacGregor
CEO and founder, The Student Hotel
Charlie MacGregor (40) is the CEO and founder of The Student Hotel, a company with strong core values reflecting inclusiveness, unity and social responsibility. Born and raised in Edinburgh, he moved to Amsterdam, via a 10-year stopover in London, to establish a company focused on the needs of the Millennial generation.
Charlie started working on building sites at the age of 16. By 25 he had bought a small student housing company in the UK. He redeveloped the assets and eventually sold the company 10 years later.
In 2005 he moved to Amsterdam and, together with the Carlyle Group, created The Student Hotel. Their mission was to develop and operate 5,000 student beds within Benelux. Today this mission has been increased to 15,000 rooms by 2020, working with PW Real Estate and APG Asset Management.
The Student Hotel's first project opened as student accommodation in Liege, Belgium in 2008 and, despite the global economic crisis and his banks going bankrupt, Charlie acquired new projects in Amsterdam, The Hague & Rotterdam.
In 2012 he opened the first Dutch project in Rotterdam followed by further projects in Amsterdam, the largest hotel in Benelux, The Hague and a second in Rotterdam. In 2015 The Student Hotel acquired Melon District expanding the group's portfolio with two locations in Barcelona and one in Paris.
Charlie has supported many humanitarian efforts and was moved to act when the images from Lesvos flooded the news and couldn't be ignored anymore. He, together with some friends, started a foundation 'Movement on the Ground' in autumn 2015 and has committed himself and his network to helping the current crisis. Charlie visits Lesvos every six weeks and is a vital part of the vision for Movement on the Ground as it moves forward.
He lives in Amsterdam and is married with two sons and two labradors.

The orange jewelweed is blooming. It's freckled and speckled and screaming orange against the dark green leaves. It's an annual around here, but spreads easily and blooms profusely from late July until frost. It's an Impatiens - like the ubiquitous pink, white and red ones you find at the beginning of the season in every garden center. These are so much more interesting.
They're about the size of the tip of your thumb to the first knuckle. Here's a pic of the side of one with the bud of a second just above it.
You can use the sap to treat poison ivy. Just crush the stems and apply it to the affected area.
I just recently read where someone is using jewelweed to seal a pond. Follow the links in the piece to the full story - it's really interesting.

Well Andy, I wonder if the average Joe Public would even consider looking at the Law commission article unless they knew of the skulduggery of the EU bureaucrats? 😕 Even if they did, I doubt they would bother. (It's VERY boring reading).
The Express article caught my eye as I was buying my paper and so I looked it up online later….one that I would not have known about but for that headline. It gives people a summary of the proposed action of Brussels.

Budget bills printing
Start the presses! The first state budget bills started being printed Tuesday morning.
Copies of the Transportation and Economic Development bill and legislation authorizing Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's commission on merging departments and agencies should be ready for viewing by Tuesday afternoon, said Kelly Cummings, a spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos. UPDATE: They were just posted online - TED and mergers.
Though bill printing is a relatively routine matter, it shows some aspects of this budget have been worked out to every one's satisfaction, and the Albany budget machine wheels are moving -- potentially toward an on-time budget (that would be Thursday* before midnight).
Of course, school aid formulas are not worked out yet. Legislative officials say a district-by-district breakdown won't be ready until Wednesday, at the earliest. And lawmakers and the governor's staff are still negotiating how to create a fund to indemnify hospitals against the claims of parents of infants injured at birth.
*Correction: An earlier version of this post said a budget by Friday at midnight would represent an on-time budget. But I meant Thursday, March 31, at midnight.

From survivors to defenders: Women confronting violence in Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala
Nobel Women's Initiative and Just Associates (JASS) released a new report today, June 5 2012.
From Survivors to Defenders: Women Confronting Violence in Mexico, Honduras & Guatemala follows a 10 day delegation to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala led by Nobel Peace Laureates Jody Williams and Rigoberta Menchú Tum in January 2012. The fact-finding mission investigated the impact of the war on drugs and increased mining operations on the lives of women.
The delegation found that violence against women is reaching crisis dimensions in Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. In the last decade, femicides have risen by alarming rates – as much as 257% in Honduras. Indigenous women and women human rights defenders are particularly vulnerable to attacks, which include rape, torture, murder, and forced disappearances.
Alarmingly, more than 95% of crimes go without punishment. Most are never even investigated by authorities.
"Since the [2009 government] coup we've gone back some 40 years in the rights women had gained," said Martha Velazquez, member of the Movimiento de Mujeres in Honduras.
The report analyzes the causes of these increases in violence and proposes country-specific solutions. The conclusions are drawn from meetings with over 200 women human rights defenders in Mexico City, Chilpancingo, Guatemala City, Panajachal and Tegucigalpa.

Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla. Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper. Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper. Sed posuere consectetur est at lobortis.
Mike and Amy started Chefs Press almost 10 years ago with a passion for good food and a vision of creating beautiful cookbooks. Along the way we have met many wonderful people — chefs and restaurateurs, farmers and growers, cooking school owners and instructors, artists and authors who have partnered with us and now they all have successful books.
When considering new projects, Chefs Press looks for publishing partners with quality content and the resources and desire to help make the book a success.
Like any business venture, part of the partner's commitment is financial. Though Chefs Press funds the design, photography, production and printing of a book, we do need our partners to purchase a minimum number of copies upon publication and within the first 12 months of the book's life. The minimum commitment depends upon the print run and size of the book being created.
In addition to new media exposure and brand promotion, our publishing partners also stand to gain financially from the cookbook. Selling copies directly to customers and social media followers opens up a new revenue avenue.
We distribute our books locally, regionally, and nationally, where possible, through our distributors and into Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Costco, independent bookstores, including Warwick's in La Jolla, Warwick's at San Diego Airport, Bay Books in Coronado and other retail outlets, including the Hotel del Coronado.
Give us a call or email and let's go on a culinary journey together.

Thought Bubbles: Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter, Buy It, Trade Waiting
I loved this book from the minute i first saw some scans posted online. They dominated the motw and I had to go back to the shop and pick it up. Didn't even register on my radar as a book to get originally, but turned out to be one of my favourite miniseries. Glad to see you enjoyed it Ryan.
Excellent write up! Thanks, I already read in floppies and loved it but can direct friends here to convince them to pick up the trade. In fact I probably get the trade as well. I'm probably read this now and then. Beta Ray is such a cool and unique character in a medium full of unique and cool characters. Plus yeah, the scenes with Galactus were pretty neat too. The story the art, all solid.
Also on a side note, thanks site for bring back Anonymous comments, I know it can be more trouble than its worth, but all that other stuff hurts my head.

'Psychexcess II – Futurism' artwork by DZO: the process
i wanted something 'genuine' for the artwork of this album, more precisely a drawing. a friend of mine introduced me the work of DZO & i fell in love the very first second i saw his art. also found great correlation between his drawings and my music… so i reached out Olivier.
Olivier is such a talented, humble & unique artist (not to say a genius), i'm still thrilled he agreed to work with me on that project. we barely discussed what i have in mind for the artwork and he came up with this.
it was a very very good experience!
here's a little 'making of' for you. impressive! isn't it?

Virtual Reality in Gaming and its development
Technology has helped mankind develop from the beginning of time. From discovering how to make fire and creating simple tools and weapons to the present day where we are exploring the universe, curing diseases, transplanting organs and have access to artificial intelligence.
Technology has impacted on every bodies life's. Imagine trying to lead a life without electricity, cars, telephones T.V. or computers. The simplest of tasks would take such a long time, washing clothes, cooking, travelling to work and the job you do when you eventually get there.
These days, one of the fastest developing areas has been computing and gaming. Indeed, your mobile phone has better computing power than the early computers. In gaming, we have gone from the first ping pong type games to movie quality graphics and sound packed full of features.
The computers and gaming consoles we use offer ever increasing power, the hand controllers, joysticks, mouse's and other equipment offer wireless connection and features we would not have dreamt of thirty years ago, now we are on the verge of another massive leap forward in the world of gaming, the recent introduction of virtual reality headsets.
These really enable you to interact in the game you are playing by sensing your movements so you can move around your virtual environment and interact with the objects in it. Virtual reality is still in its infancy and there are a limited number of headsets on the market and likewise games that you can use them in.
As with any new development it has been greeted with mixed reviews and the prices are high but it will only be a matter of time before any glitches are sorted out and as popularity increases more games will become available and headset prices will begin to fall. It is quite likely that in the not too distant future virtual reality will become the standard gaming format.
My recommendation would be to wait for the time being until prices begin to fall unless you are quite wealthy. Hold on until there is a game released that you really want to play in virtual reality then shop around to find a headset that is compatible with your device.
Make sure you read plenty of independent reviews as it may be worth spending a few more Dollars to get what you really need. In the meantime, if you get the opportunity to check out a headset in a store or at a friend's then give it ago and see if it suits you, the only danger is that normal gameplay might seem dull after this experience.

Transform your photos into one-of-a-kind, hand painted masterpieces!

How did I get started with PENTAX?
My first cameras weren't PENTAX unfortunately but how I started to use them is woven in with all my others so I may as well list them completely.
Aged 8 I told my Father I'd like to take photographs. I'm not sure why but I think it was to a) preserve holiday memories b) be able to do something for myself/ be in control c) be creative d) use a piece of 'machinery' which I enjoyed doing, especially if it made something.
I was also intrigued and mystified by the photo making process and it seemed a bit like magic.
I was given my Fathers 'Ilford Sport' and used it for the first time from a rear seat of a Renault 21 whilst moving along a road in the Scottish Highlands. The '2 Years' eBook on my website shows this image. I also used it whilst living in Istanbul and have an image of a Russian nuclear submarine heading north up the Bosphorus with a litte wind-surfer nearby giving a good sense of scale. This was in the early 1980's.
I then used other cameras but whose make I don't remember...like a small, very cheap 35mm my Gran bought me from a chemist in north Norfolk. It resembled a 1950's rangefinder though wasn't - it had a fixed shutter speed with simple aperture control on the lens graphically depicting clouds and a sun for wide open or stopped down. I used it alot and started to develop black and white film at school in an old dovecote. I spent most of my time using a 'grain finder' but didn't know what it was for and drinking the developer as I was told you could get drunk from it.
I then bought a Halina 150 point and shoot with a built in flash as that was all I could afford and carried it with me everywhere. One of my family had a Konica 'Pop' which I would liked to have used but wasn't allowed to. A parent, who wanted an Olympus point and shoot but who was given an OM10 eventually handed this to me which was the first time I used an SLR. I never appreciated its standard 50mm f1.8 lens which was remarkably sharp and fast. I then received a Yashica FX-D quartz as a present, with a 50mm f2 lens and later bought myself a Tokina 24mm wideangle and Tamron 80-200mm zoom. I bought a Yashica FX-3 body and also a Canon Sureshot Zoom XL.
A webpage for the Canon Sureshot Zoom XL is here:
In 1987 I first went to art college and re-learnt the basics of SLR photography using the photo studio PENTAX K1000 which looking back was excellent but very basic compared to the Yashica and Olympus I had been using. My Father also gave me his Dad's old Kodak folding camera from around 1910. I was able to adapt 5x4 plate film to fit this for 'one-off' shots.
In 1989 I graduated and decided I should carry a good quality point and shoot with me wherever I went. After reading up a couple of 'What Camera' magazines I decided the Canon Zoom XL would be best and took a train journey from Colchester down to York Cameras, 45 York Road, Waterloo, SE1 in London especially to buy it. It blew me away with its sharp lens, the motorwind, the zoomable flash and loved the remote control which slid into the base of the camera. It was heavy and gave a sure feel of quality. I used it alot with colour slide film and also 'crossed processed' colour neg to slide when I worked as an E6 film processor on a Refrema.
There was a very good second hand camera shop down Queen Street in Colchester in the early to mid nineties and I bought many cameras from there - a rangefinder Polaroid Land camera with bellows, a couple of older, basic Polaroids, an Olympus Trip 35 with light meter built around the lens, a Lomo LC-A which I found too fiddly (I yearned for a Minox 35GT but couldn't afford one), a Lubitel 166 medium format twin-lens reflex camera and no doubt others which I would like to remember.
From 1989 to 1999 I relied on the Canon Zoom XL and the Yashica FX-3/Olympus OM10. By then I had worked in many jobs and spent another 4 years at art college. In late 1998 I graduated with a Masters in Interactive Multimedia and tried for 6 months to get a job in this field with no luck.
I was asked by an art college mate to go camping in north Wales and decided to part exchange every camera I owned for a brand new model.
I took along the OM10, its 50mm lens and flash, FX3 and lenses, Zoom XL and more to a London Camera Exchange when it was situated on Colchester High Street in 1999. A very young man went through all of my kit and told me all the lenses had fungus in them and that all the cameras were worthless. The only choice he gave me for a new camera in exchange for all the ones I had collected over 10 years was simply a brand new PENTAX MZ-M but with a second hand PENTAX 50mm f2 lens. This was a manual focus camera with basic controls but it did have an autowind. I accepted - deciding that if Henri Cartier-Bresson could make do with one camera and a standard lens then so could I.
Since 1992 I had been photographing local country characters in north Essex and carried on doing this in north Wales where I 'stayed on' after my holiday with art college mate was over. By then I solely used Agfa Scala 200 which was a contrasty black and white positive film with very rich blacks which I adored. I got a job as a security guard, lived in a tent for 10 weeks and took photos of local farmers and my work colleagues.
I was more than happy with that PENTAX and never yearned for any other lens - I just stuck with the 50mm f2 lens and Scala film. The MZ-M had an 'automatic - A' setting which adjusted the shutter speed to suit whatever aperture you chose but I always left it on 1/30th second which I figured was the slowest speed I could use hand held. This slow speed meant, on average, that I could stop the lens down to f8 or more which gave good depth of field and made sure almost everything in view was sharp and in focus. After taking many images but living in tents and damp caravans I eventually came to take a photo of something moving a bit 'faster' and turned the shutter speed dial to another setting but it was stuck on 1/30th and so deemed unreliable. The camera and lens (now with plenty of fungus growing inside) was regretfully slung since repairing it was more expensive than the comparative cost of the body and I was without any camera for the first time since early childhood.
In the summer of 2001 I ended up in London and went to Jessops on New Oxford Street with the intention of spending all of my savings on a camera with better quality than I had ever been used to. Over 2 days I looked at the Fuji 645Zi, the Contax Aria and Hasselblad XPan and chose a demo XPan for �1420. The panoramic feature which didn't crop 35mm film but took an image onto 24mm x 65mm of film sold it to me along with the Hasselblad name, quality lens and autowind (though I didn't know then that the camera was actually made by Fuji and sold in Japan as the Fuji TX and the rest of the world as Hasselblad...so it wasn't Swedish after all!) I already owned a Minolta Dimage Scan Dual 35mm film scanner so that ruled out any camera other than a 35mm. Even though I took photographs with the XPan which later became published commercially in a hard back book of photos from Patagonia I really do regret buying this camera and could have bought a couple of second hand SLRs and quite a few lenses for the same price.
Back in north Wales I set about taking fine art photos with the XPan with the intention of selling them framed to tourists. A friend's young twins posed against a backdrop of slate wearing sacking cloth and holding sticks like prehistoric cave dwellers and later I photographed the now famous 'Lady with the Salmon' at Aber Falls but realized something was missing. I didn't understand what it was until I went to Cambrian Photography in Colwyn Bay and picked up an old PENTAX 67. With 35mm I was able to get the 'width' I wanted but to get all of my subject in the viewfinder I had to move backwards which meant they became further away and I lost the detail I craved. I mean - head and shoulder shots were fine with the XPan but to get all of the body in and without turning the camera at a right angle (portrait) I had to either move back or ask my subject to step away and that meant they became tiny, with much less detail. The PENTAX 67 was a breakthrough in photography for me. I stood in the camera shop for over 4 hours cradling the camera in the crook of my left arm without thinking and others around me asked me how long I had been using it for and that 'it seemed to suit me'...that I looked comfortable with it. The owner saw me coming and sold an old body and the 55/105 lenses for �1300. He said he had to match the price, showing me the back pages of a current camera mag, of Ffordes - a leading second hand shop in Inverness. Now I was able to get both width and depth and detail in the shot.
Unusually for me, I was renting and living in a flat on Anglesey and developed the b/w film myself but had to cut the 67 (120) negative in half in order to scan it using the Minolta 35mm scanner and then re-touch it in Photoshop. (I had adapted the film holder to accept the 'pan' shots taken with the XPan by cutting out a plastic frame and enlarging the aperture to scan 65mm of film in two scans).
Imagine the feeling of cutting the negative in half and not having the money to get the image scanned with a larger 120 scanner! I then photographed a guy called 'Titch' who had a 'Dragons Forge' and who made swords and did Viking re-enactments. We took a lobster pot fishing boat out to Dulas Island and he dressed in his chainmail armour, kneeling with sword and shield against a rocky backdrop with stone tower and I was finally pleased with the result.
After alot of work, alot of exhibitions and buying a Canon D2400U scanner :) I decided to go to Patagonia but now, on my 2nd PENTAX 67 body which, like the first, was suffering with 'sticky mirror syndrome' and realizing I needed a modern and reliable 67 asked PENTAX for sponsorship in 2005 for a 67II model. This model was still manual focus and had manual film advance but it had built in metering, came out in 1999 (30 years after its first introduction) and was most importantly reliable. I did find that the viewfinder was smaller than the Mark I model though which I preferred - it felt like a huge cinema screen...so sharp and clear and it seemed like I could climb through into the world I was viewing.
Since then I have sold the Hasselblad XPan (early 2010) as I was flat broke and have started to use digital. As well as going to Patagonia with the 67II and XPan I bought a PENTAX *ist DL2 with 18-55mm lens for �350. The day I flew to Patagonia (23 June 2006) was the first day I used this digital camera. Prior to this my only experiences had been with a Sony Mavica MVC-FD5 which I bought during my Masters in 1998. This was 0.31 megapixels and saved each image laboriously to a floppy disk. I used it alot for making time lapse videos, stop frame animations and photo montages but it broke quickly so got binned. Needless to say I wasn't impressed by digital and it felt too 2D to me - lacking good definition, detail and most importantly dept of field which actually looked like what the human eye sees. I also used a Fuji S2 for a day (2005) which I hired from Cambrian Photography in order to take photos of me posing with clothing from a sponsor 'Snugpak' on Parys Mountain near Amlwch on Anglesey. Eventually the guy taking the photos took some using his own Fuji Finepix and these images were used. And lastly - when I had bought the PENTAX 67 I had a brief change of mind and was allowed to take away an Olympus E-10 to try out but went back to the PENTAX 67 as again this was the only camera I had ever found which suited my needs (I had never been able to define my photographic needs in the past and prefer to think of 'needs' as 'feelings').
After Patagonia I went to an extremely remote Inuit village in Alaska and despite, by then, having used digital extensively and with great results chose just to use film even though I also had DSLRs to hand. BUT the film and looking after it and airport xray machines and developing and scanning costs almost broke me and I sold the XPan, not wanting to continue further with film. This is January 2010. Since then I have only shot digital though intended to use 5x4 sheet film in Afghanistan and bought a 'Speed Graphic' (as well as use DSLRs). The quality was absolutely incredible and detail in each image astounded me. I loved the Graphic since my early hero Weegee had used one in the 1940s. However there was a knack to taking a photo and if you did one thing 'out of sequence' you would wreck the shot. I did this once and never used the Graphic again. It was my fault and should have practiced more before using it seriously in the field. I coudn't afford to go missing shots and it was bad enough that PENTAX's only fault (IMO) with extremely slow auto focus meant that I missed half of all the photos I tried to take in Afghanistan.
(I took 4000 in 3 weeks and know for sure I could have taken 8000 if autofocus had been as fast as the other Japanese makes out there).
I started off buying the PENTAX *ist DL2 and have had images from that humble 6 megapixel camera published in both magazine and book.
PENTAX then gave me their K10D and a DA 12-24mm lens. Then I bought an *istD as it is able to use a cheap external flash with TTL. If I had wanted an external flash for the K10D with TTL there were only 3 expensive options to buy new. PENTAX gave me a K7 for Afghanistan along with a DA 35 Limited fixed prime lens and now, prior to a USA project their K5 with another 12-24 lens as the first is beyond economical repair.
I have been trying to explore techniques like 'HDR' and 'stacking' and what is possible with digitaI but do think about going back to film as I miss its clarity, sharpness and depth of field. I liked to use colour negative as exposure isn't as critical as positive film and Fuji Pro 160 NS was my favourite with its 'muted contrast and saturation, suited to social photography...with a more subdued and natural look'. The PENTAX 67 lenses gave me the contrast I needed as the film didn't but I liked this film for its 'highly optimized skin tone reproduction and neutral gray balance which is especially important for portrait photography'. Basically the colour was more like what the human eye sees and less exaggerated than most films out there which seem to be preferred nowadays.
Digital is great for High Dynamic Range (though I never experimented with HDR with film by taking many different exposures). Digital find light where there doesn't seem to be any and I love it for dark interiors/twilight with long exposures and a tripod. For daylight and only daylight I still prefer film and look forward to using it again. I have some ideas for the future for what and how I will use it and I would like to move away from simply displaying digital images as a print or on the screen as a 2D image. I think people would like to see other possibilities.
My thanks goes to PENTAX who have been kind and supportive to me and I look forward to continuing with them in 2013. Their 'payback' from helping me, going back to 2005, is that I made sure their name, credits, acknowledgements and web details were put in the front of my Patagonia book published in July 2012.
The 35mm photographs on pages 4, 5, 34, 158 and159 in the book found via the web link, below, were taken with the PENTAX MZ-M when I first went to north Wales. I have many more images I took with this camera upon my arrival in Wales in 1999 and also photographs from inside Colchester's 'Glasshouse' (Britains only remaining military prison) and of the Hot Rod 'M'hula' crew - all using Scala 200.

Interview with Bob Reselman on the Importance of DocumentationFeb 13, 2013, 15:00 (1 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Larry Cafiero)
"Over the last few years I've been thinking more about the infrastructures where technical writing takes place. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done working with individual contributors, helping them become better technical writers. But, I find it interesting that there's a lot of good documentation being created, but somehow a lot of it never gets used. Having organizations get more bang for the investment made in technical documentation is an enormous opportunity, not one to be missed.'
"I think there are many issues concerning the technical document infrastructure that can be addressed better by a change of understanding than an increase in capital expenditure. I intend to talk about different aspects of understanding the practice of technical writing and supporting technical documentation at the organizational level."

E-Plan Co. Ltd.
E-Planis people-friendly and our goal is to create cleaning products that do not pollute our environment.
E-Plan UNI-BATCH SAIW Machine produces pH 12.5 Super Alkali Ionized Water by special electrolysis using only 0.17% of Carbonate Potassium.
Colorless, odorless and neutral Super Alkali Ionized Water consists of pure water and extremely small traces of non-organic electrolytes. SAIW does not contain any synthetic chemical substances, nor BOD/COD, that would be hazardous to the environment. SAIW does non-foaming and quick to rinse away. This can reduce water usage. SAIW is totally non-flammable and non-explosive. SAIW is NOT generated using Salt (NaCL) as electrolyte and is 100% rust-free. Raw material is just water and small quantity of designated electrolyte (POCA), making SAIW highly cost effective.
Contains no detergents or harmful chemicals, people-friendly and eco-friendly, and can be used safely in businesses or homes.
SAIW is "High Alkaline Ionized Water" that increases the "Power" of water
Oxidization Reduction Electric Potential (ORP) and Hydrogen Ion Density (pH)
How SAIW works as detergent, germ killerand decay protector
All dirt & stain are +ve ion. Dirt/Stains (+) are
Surrounded by SAIW -ve ion & also the object
(what you want to clean) will be minus ionized
Such minus ions will repulse with each other &
Dirt/stains are detached from the surface.
SAIW's micron water particles
have penetration capability & goes
in between the stains & the surface
of the object to clean
Stains & oli-based dirt particles are mixed & turn into water-soap. While SAIW is working as detergent, the water may visually look cloudy, but SAIW will continue to work to clean as soap
Dirt/Stain particles surrounded by -ve ion all separated & any oil-based stain will continue to work to clean as a soap
Tests ofhow SAIW works
Metal Watch
Vegetables & Fruits
Oil Emulsification
Rotting of Iron
In SAIW of pH12.5, -which does not contain any chlorine –iron does not rust as in normal water. Even after you take out the iron soaked in SAIW and it has dried, an anti-rusting effect will remain for several days.
A dirty and stained watch strap will be quickly cleaned, as SAIW will penetrate into small spaces of the strap, removing all dirt and oily stains from the metal surface.
When washing vegetables and fruits with normal tap water, various chemicals or residue on the fruits are not removed. By using SAIW, vegetables and fruits will be chemical free and have a longer shelf life in your refrigerator.
Prepare a cup of pure water mixed with any cooking oil – Add SAIW and then you will find the oil has been emulsified and separated.
Oil Stain
Spray SAIW on the tile walls(like your kitchen area) stained by oil and cigarette smoke, you can see the effect very clearly.
Watch cleaning
Soak in e-Wash(100%)
Keep still in eWash for 20 seconds
Shake lightly a few times
SAIW gets into the small gaps in the watch strap, instantly separating and removingthe dirt and stains stuck to the surface.
In the same way, you can clean your rings, necklaces, bracelets, jewelry, keys, spectacles, toys, coins, etc.
*Do not completely submerge watch unless in it waterproof
Separating oils and fats
Mix a few drops of oil into normal tap water and stir
Mix a few drops of oil into e-Wash
There is a huge difference between how e-Wash interacts with oil and how tap water does.
In e-Wash, you find oils and fats are instantly separated and emulsified. This is the same function that surface active agents (surfactants) play in chemical detergents, but without leaving any of the same harmful residue behind.
e-Wash disinfects, eliminates odours and is 100% safe to be used everywhere in the kitchen.
Cleaning Chopping Boards
Test results after cleaning in normal tap water
General bacteria
Coliform bacteria
Test results after cleaning with e-Wash
General bacteria
Coliform bacteria
Wash your chopping board with normal tap water, then spray e-Wash onto half of the board. Measure the bacteria present using a food-stamp (bacteria check sheet). The half cleaned with e-Wash will also remove the Coliform bacteria.
You can effectively use e-Wash to remove bacteria around the home; bathrooms, toilets, shoes, flooring, kitchen utensils, even pets.

Examples of SAIW usage and applications:
Examples of SAIW usage and applications:
It was the middle of 1950 when synthetic "surface active agent surfactant" (surfactant) appeared in the market in Japan. This chemical was far better than normal soaps used in the past, with strong cleaning power and with plenty of foaming. It was widely accepted by the consumers and now surfactant is included in shampoo, kitchen detergent, laundry detergent, tooth paste, various cosmetics, and many kinds of agricultural chemicals. it is used constantly in daily life, doth domestically and industrially.
Used surfactants have been drained into rivers, leaving rivers in urban and industrial areas full of foaming chemicals and all the fish have been killed.
Japan is now one of the most advanced countries of the world and people have started to think more seriously about the environment. People have begun to try and reclaim polluted parts of the environment and are much more environmentally conscious.
Air pollution is controlled by CO2 management technology required for auto-makers and other corporations to use according to stringent U.N. regulations (e.g. Kyoto protocol). Tougher industrial water drainage regulations have also been introduced to stem the disappearance of our useable water supply.
Unfortunately, water disposal and drainage from homes and households have no regulatory controls. Waste water from homes, containing a lot of surfactant and cleaning chemicals, is blindly disposed into sewer and our rivers. Surfactants can not be separated or collected at water treatment facilities, meaning all surfactants will end up in the sea and accumulate on the ocean floor as sludge. This sludge contains no oxygen and prevents access to the seabed. This causes huge problems with the fish living in this environment, which in turn passes to us as we eat the affected fish.
Surfactant is contained in many products that you use everyday - soap, shampoo, kitchen detergent, laundry detergent, toothpaste - and can gradually accumulate in the human body.
If we have cleaning product which is free of synthetic surfactants, we can keep our water cleaner and our world greener, leaving a better future for the next generation. This is the reason why SAIW has been developed over many years; the genuine desire to save our planet..
SAIW can be produced most easily and efficiently by the machine model No.UB-10AST, which has the following features:
Ionized alkaline water can be created from tap water. The machine was originally created in Jappan for use by families in the city. Various ionized water generation machines are available in the market, mainly for home use.
Home use machines use the chlorine contained in city water supplies as an electrolyte, producing both acid (pH4) and alkali (pH10) simultaneously. Both the acidic and alkaline water are not powerful enough or suitable for commercial uses. This creates extra waste, as both types of water will not be used, leaving one to be disposed as waste.
There are some alkali water generation machines for commercial use with a larger capacity.
All of these use salt (NaCl) as an electrolyte, generating both acid (pH2) and alkali (pH11) simultaneously and the unused pH of water will also be disposed of as waste. pH11 is also not powerful enough as detergent. Acid water (pH2) can be used as sterilizer but it has no power to clean any oil based stains or dirt.
Scientifically, if you dilute pH12.5 water by 10 times, pH will become 11.5. High alkalinity works as strong detergent and this proves that SAIW with pH12.5 has 10 times more cleaning power of pH11.5 water.

Worlds Apart
You are not alone
Search your heart and you will find me
Open your soul and you will hear my music
Read my words and you may hear my voice ringing in your ears
You are not alone
You will dance
With my spirit wrapped around you
Close your eyes
You will see me reaching for you
You are not alone
Sleep and you will walk with me on the shore
Watch the rising sun
Feel the warmth of my embrace
You are not alone
So long as our hearts beat in rhythm
So long as I turn your world
So long as I light the stars at night for you
So long as my smile rises the sun in the morning for you
You are not alone

HATTIESBURG — Interest in scuba diving, hiking, camping, motor boating, and paddle sports is increasing in south Mississippi, a region long known for its excellent outdoor recreation opportunities.
"Paddle sports are really starting to pick up," said Glyn Guidry, outdoor department manager for Big Buck Sports. "A lot of people are interested in that, and there is a paddling club in Hattiesburg now."
Guidry also sees indications of more hiking activity. The Black Creek Trail has long been popular, and now there is also a new Rails to Trails hiking and biking path that runs from Hattiesburg to Prentiss. Guidry said hiking, biking, and paddle sports are particularly popular among the college crowd in Hattiesburg.
"Canoeing has always been popular, and is still going really strong," Guidry said. "And kayaking is certainly picking up around here. Scuba diving is also very popular, and is growing every summer."
Canoe rental operators report that business is on the upswing.
"We seem to get a little busier each year," said Lisa Robinson, co-owner of Okatoma Canoe Rental in Sanford. "We've had a good spring. The river has been running good. The water has been at a good level so you don't have to do a lot of paddling."
The Okatoma is popular with people from Louisiana who make up about 50% of the customers for Okatoma Canoe Rental. The Louisiana residents are attracted by the rapids on the Okatoma. Robinson said the rapids are challenging and fun, but not dangerous. People can portage around the rapids if they are concerned about tipping over. And deeper water below the rapids makes ideal swimming holes.
Locals also love the Okatoma, and outings by church and scout groups in particular are popular. On a busy weekend, an average of 1,000 people go down the Okatoma. Most are there just for a day, but some do overnight camping trips.
The Black Creek is a slower canoe trip, and doesn't see as many visitors. But that's ideal for people looking to get away from the crowds for a relaxing float.
"Every year interest in canoeing has grown," said Pat Gibbs, co-owner of Black Creek Canoe Rental in Brooklyn. "The season is going real good. We've had lots of hot, dry weather. The weekends are always full, but our weekday business last year and this year has been a lot better. It is getting to be a sport more in the mainstream. If you watch TV and ads in paper, a lot have canoes in the ads. For example, sport utility vehicle advertisements often show the vehicles with canoes on top of them."
Gibbs said the best thing about Black Creek is it runs through the DeSoto National Forest. Canoes are more spread out than on the Okatoma, and there are more sandbars for camping. Gibbs said about 70% of their customers come from Louisiana or other states, and most are families. Each year local interest in canoeing increases.
Gibbs said that kayaks are also becoming more popular. Some are the types of kayaks that you sit on top of. Those are particularly popular with women and girls who want to stretch out and get a tan while floating down the creek. While kayaks are generally considered more difficult to master than canoes, Gibbs said the type of kayaks they rent are stable. "You just about have to work to turn them over," she said.
Kayaking is also becoming more popular on the Coast. Jerry Adkerson, sales manager for Ocean Marine Group in Ocean Springs, said interest in kayaks is increasing all the time. Ocean Marine carries a selection of about a dozen different types of kayaks.
Adkerson said that, in his opinion, motor boating is the number one recreational activity on the Coast whether the boats are used for fishing, waterskiing, visiting the barrier islands and just enjoying being out on the water.
"Fishing boats are the most common sellers, but a lot of people also go to the islands," Adkerson said. "We're seeing more demand for the high-end, high-quality products especially in the sport runabouts, and cruisers. We're seeing a lot of interest there especially from the new people who are moving to the Coast from different places. They seem to be demanding a higher-quality, nicer boat."
Ocean Marine branched out from its store in Biloxi two years ago to open a store in Ocean Springs because they saw a need for a full-service boat dealership that provided good service and quality boat lines. Adkerson said all the boat lines they carry are upper end lines.
"We felt there would be more demand for the upper-end lines, and that has proven to be true," he said.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Deleted something and now my screen resolution is really messed up?
Last week, I'd had some issues with adware on my computer that I had accidentally downloaded -- while I managed to deal with that, I got a little trigger-happy with Add/Remove Programs afterwards and deleted something (unfortunately, I'm not sure what, but I'm assuming it was some kind of driver?) that was apparently important for my display settings.
Prior to this, my laptop screen resolution had a variety of settings but now when I go to settings and attempt to change my display resolution, under Display it says Generic PnP Monitor on Standard VGA Graphics Card and my only real option is 1024x764, which makes everything on my screen too wide and distorted.
My question is, what should I try to do to restore my graphics/resolution?
I'm using a Lenovo U400 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

This time it was a silver Audi, caught by the tide at Putney, West London, and released into the wild, startling the geese as well as the students.
Motorists who park on the steep embankment in front of the boathouses in Putney are warned that their vehicles are in danger of being caught by the high tide.
The road slips steeply down to the Thames and it is common for water to lap at the undercarriage of any car parked there.
This car, however, was in danger of floating away until the Cambridge boys spotted its plight and helped drag it back onto dry land.
There have been several sinkings in the 177-year history of the race, mainly boats though.
Cambridge sank in 1859 and 1978 and Oxford in 1925 and 1951. In 1912, both boats sank, although the news was overshadowed two weeks later by the sinking of a larger boat, the RMS Titanic.

Well I thought I was doing well until this weeks weigh in and i had not lost any weight and my bmi fat % was also the same.
The strange thing is my pants are falling off me so my waist size has dropped.
From what I can work out the problem lies in the amount of healthy food I am eating, I thought because i was eating veg and salads I could eat as much as I wanted but having read up on it – it turns out that three big meals a day is not as good as six small ones spread out over the full day.
So that's the program for this week.
Also I got a Pedometer and last week i used it to just see what doing my daily routine was and it turns out to be around 1800 to 2600 steps each day.
So starting this week and I had just done it. 5 times around our Condominium grounds and Gardens works out to be 5344 steps so I shall be doing this each morning before i start on anything else, then around 11am start the TRX and afternoon around 3pm do the Circle Glide and see if the helps.
Wish me luck…..

Coast Guard search for 'high-profile professional' moves into sixth day
Rescue workers are continuing their search for a high profile businessman feared to have fallen into the sea as the operation moves into its sixth day.
Search teams have continued their efforts around the Cliffs of Moher in land and at sea operations today.
The missing man's car was first spotted last Thursday evening.
A spokesperson for Irish Coast Guard said searches were "ongoing today".
Rescue workers have vowed to continue to search for the man until he's found.
It is believed that the missing man, who is aged in his 60s, is a legal professional from the Dublin area. He makes regular appearances on radio shows.
Staff raised the alarm on Friday evening after arriving for work at the Cliffs of Moher visitor centre. The man's car had been parked there the previous night and staff noticed it was parked in the same position.
Gardaí were alerted and began inquiries in an effort to establish more about the car owner and his movements.
Members of the Doolin unit of the Irish Coast Guard have been carrying out water and shoreline searches, assisted by the Shannon-based helicopter Rescue 115.
Meanwhile, the body of a man has been recovered from the water in a harbour in Co Clare.
The man is believed to have fallen into the water at Liscannor Harbour last night.
