Digital Zoom
Many point-and-shoot and phone cameras discourage digital zoom. For example, Android cameras set at max resolution don't allow digital zoom beyond that. The reason is that, the image can be cropped any time later during post-processing.
This is true for camera's that store images in lossless/RAW formats. Otherwise quite some detail is lost, when the image is compressed in camera, and then later when cropped and blown-up("digital zoomed") in a PC. If we digital zoom on the camera itself, before compressing the image, more details could be retained! I could see that digitally zoomed image on my point-and-shoot is better than zooming in later during post-processing.
Creating panoramic images was too hard long back, but not any more. My phone camera which has an accelerometer, but doesn't have a gyroscope is able to stitch and generate low-res panoramas in no time. Latest phones and cameras all have gyroscopes and do a better job with this.
I tried
And I feel that this format of very ultra-wide-angle is the best/must format for covering marriages! Hope wedding photographers/videographers would start adding panoramas to the mix. If you are planning to spend a lot on wedding photography, ask for panoramas/super-duper-ultra-wide-angle high-resolution shots.
180°/360° Panorama Videos
Awed by the panoramas from my phone. I wanted to shoot panorama videos i.e., videos with 180° or more FOV. Imagine placing/hanging a 360° Video camera in the center of the wedding hall.
One way to do it would be to create an circular array of cameras and stitch the videos together later. Another way could be to have a shining Christmas tree ball/convex hemispherical mirror and shoot a video of the image on it with a camera, and later post process it to do distortion correction. The same could be achieved by shooting on a camera with a fish-eye lens. Even better would be to use a circular fisheye lens and get a 360° (on one axis) video. Or 2 or more such cameras to create the complete 360x360 video. I found few 360x360 stills, but no videos. Also found few uncorrected 360°(single axis) videos.
I am trying to shoot pics/video using all shiny balls, door handles now :) I also tried to shoot videos simultaneously with 3
Lens and focal length
All the photographic equipment manufacturers use focal length for lenses, even on those that are targeted at consumers. With variety of sensor sizes, it doesn't seem to make sense at all. How does it matter to me, what is the focal length? Why cant they just mention the FOV instead? Focal length is an implementation detail, I am not interested in.
Might be continued
Will be continued, if more thoughts on fast-frame rate cameras that help creating super slow motion videos(which can be another nicety in marriage coverage), Light field cameras, 3D cameras and dreams of combining these together like 360°x360° Super slow motion 3D light field video will continue to occupy my mind...

Click here to watch Ron Eckert, Vice President of Winter Sausage, demonstrate 3 easy, delicious holiday recipes using our products on Fox 2 News Detroit. Below you will find the recipes shown in the segment:
Winter Sausage Fire Glazed Ham
- 1 Winter Sausage Unglazed Spiral Sliced Ham
- 1 Glaze Packet (Winter Sausage Special Blend)
Heat to Serve:
Cut away wrap and remove soaker pad. Sprinkle ham with glaze packet, and use a torch to brown the glaze on the ham. Doing this prior to cooking allows for maximum flavor.
Place in pan and cover with foil. Set in oven at 250 degrees F. Allow 13 minutes per pound.
Each ham is fully cooked. It can be served cold. We suggest room temperature for maximum flavor.
Dijon Maple Glazed Spiral Ham
- 1 (about 9-pounds) Winter Sausage Unglazed Spiral Sliced Ham
- 3/4 cup Vernors
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Place ham in a roasting pan and pour about 3/4 cup Vernors into the bottom of pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 300 degrees F for 1 hour and 40 minutes or until heated through, soft and tender.
Whisk all the glaze ingredients together in a saucepan until smooth and heat over medium-low to medium heat until simmering. Simmer for 2 minutes and remove from heat.
When ham is heated through, remove the aluminum foil, and pour or brush the glaze over the top to cover completely. Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
Return the ham to the oven and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until glaze is caramelized and bubbly. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Kielbasa Casserole
- 1 Package Hash Brown Potatoes
- 2 lbs Winter's Kielbasa (Sliced into Pieces)
- 8 oz. Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Combine potatoes, kielbasa, and half the shredded cheese in a 9 X 13 baking pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes. When finished, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and serve.

1. Guest Post from Hannah Wakeford: Writing My PhD Thesis
From: Christina Richey via womeninastronomy.blogspot.com
[This guest post from Dr. Hannah Wakeford is a re-posting of her original blog piece, found at the Stellar Planet blog site...]
Over the years I have found that saying you are doing a PhD can be taken one of two ways by people; 'that sounds fancy you must be a genius or something' or simply 'why?'. The former are never trying to put you on a pedestal, and the later are not trying to get you on the defensive, but the dichotomy is sometimes difficult to deal with.
During the course of a PhD you are continuously finding out things that you, or anyone else, never knew before. That is the point, to present unique and new research at the end of it all. But this simultaneously puts you in the state of not knowing anything with impostor syndrome playing a big role in academia. No where does this become more evident to you than when you have to write it all up in your PhD thesis.

2. Support Letter
From: Anna Watts [A.L.Watts_at_uva.nl]
More than 500 astronomers and physicists have signed an open letter expressing our support for Sarah Gossan and Io Kleiser, and our thanks to them for their bravery in reporting the harassment they experienced as grad students at Caltech. The full list of signatories can be found in the read-only Google doc linked below. If anyone else would like to co-sign, details of how to do this can be found at the end of the file.
"A career in astronomy is a joy and a privilege, and one that we firmly believe should be open to all. Harassment and bullying force talent out of our field, and as such have no place in it.
Too often, the onus of reporting harassment falls on junior scientists, and we rely on their courage and fortitude to bring it to light. When this happens the rest of the scientific community has a responsibility to stand up and support them, quickly, visibly and vocally. And, as a general principle, if harassment has to cause someone to leave a collaboration or institution, the person who leaves should be the perpetrator and not the victim.
We want to offer our unqualified support and thanks to Sarah Gossan and Io Kleiser for their bravery and determination in reporting the harassment they have experienced as graduate students at Caltech. Our field is a better place for having women of this calibre in its midst. They belong. Harassment does not."

3. These STEM initiatives are inspiring women and girls around the globe
From: Elysse Voyer [elysse.voyer_at_gmail.com]
by Stephanie Walden
Our society is inching toward a future when the phrase "you code like a girl" will be a compliment of the highest order.
But there are significant hurdles before we get there. The statistics behind women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) are still far from indicating an even playing field.
While this isn't nearly a comprehensive list, we've examined some impactful initiatives that are inspiring women to advance within STEM careers across the globe.

4. Meet the Scientist Who Just Broke a Major Barrier for Black Women
From: Elysse Voyer [elysse.voyer_at_gmail.com]
by Esha Chhabra
There are 80 black female physicists in the U.S.-here's how one is succeeding.
Chemotherapy is notoriously hard on patients. It works by pumping powerful drugs into the body in hopes of killing the disease. To reduce the nasty side effects of cancer treatment, Hadiyah-Nicole Green, a 35-year-old physicist, wants to research using laser technology to kill cancer-and she just won $1.1 million to do it.
Green, an assistant professor at Tuskegee University, is the first woman to win the five-year grant geared toward nurturing black scientists from the Veterans Administration Research Scientist Training Program. She hopes to help change the perception of what black girls can aspire to.

5. Lady Science
From: Elysse Voyer [elysse.voyer_at_gmail.com]
by Phil Plait
This may come as a shock to you, but science has something of an issue with sexism.
I've written about this many times, and you can probably find a few hundred thousand more words about it elsewhere. The problems run a broad spectrum of issues, including pay, hiring practices, treatment of women in the lab/field/academic setting, publishing, the "leaky pipeline," and more.
Worse, these issues have a long, entrenched, historical precedent. Even when we talk about them we run into problems, like highlighting exceptional women who break barriers, instead of all the women who came before them and paved the way.
That's why I'm happy that Lady Science exists. As they say on their page, they are:
'a multifaceted collaborative writing project focused on women in science, technology, and medicine. Our purpose is to highlight women's lives and contributions to scientific fields, to critique representations of women in history and popular culture, and to provide an accessible and inclusive platform for writing about women on the web.'

CD Details
Whereas on Little Plastic Castle Ani DiFranco questioned her public image in song, here the fiercely independent singer/songwriter turns away from stardom's beckoning questions to further explore her emotional balance. "Angry Anymore" is a back-porch country song (with banjo and accordion) about coming to terms with a turbulent adolescence. "Everest" floats by as a reverie of spiritual rejuvenation. Most effective is "'Tis of Thee," which deals with racial injustice. The politics are oversimplified, but the melody is one of DiFranco's strongest. She even funks it up on the extended drum-machine-driven jam "Hat Shaped Hat." But while DiFranco enjoys playing around ("Know Now Then" features a "space phone" vocal), she's strongest when most contemplative, as the title track bears out. Backed by organ, piano, and guitar, she espouses this grand truth: "Half of learning how to play / Is learning what not to play." In her quietest moments DiFranco is living proof of simplicity's great power. --Rob O'Connor

CD Reviews
Definitely not her best... but it's still Ani
Jon | Los Angeles | 02/16/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)
"So Everyone is all excited about Ani's new album and some people think she's crap and some people think she's God Herself. I think people are getting confused on what exactly selling out means. Live appearances on TV and radio airplay does not mean she is selling out. It's actually pretty incredible that she can gain the kind of FameInterviewsMagazinecovers that she has purely from touring and word of mouth (something that Tori Amos was barely able to do, even with the help of a major record label's financial support). No, this is not Ani's best album. Not nearly as emotional, beautiful and striking as OUT OF RANGE and NOT A PRETTY GIRL, her two best albums. It does not have the simplistic acoustic sound or folk melodies of LIKE I SAID or IMPERFECTLY. It does not have the novelty of DILATE and LITTLE PLASTIC CASTLE, her two previous studio albums that brought a new distinctive sound to her older formula. But that's just it, she's had her fun with novelties. What's she supposed to do, come out with a jazz CD just to sound new? How about hip hop or country? In a way she has already done that. And now she can move on. The new sounds we heard on the last two studio albums can be heard on UPUPUPUPUPUP, and you know what? I bet Ani doesn't care that she's not sounding new or novel. She's about making a living off of doing what she loves (writing and performing honest music), not trying to please critics. The critics came to HER, hailed her as new an innovative and now they are tired and will move onto their LatestDiscovery, disappointed that she has not come up with a GreatAlbumThatWillGoDownInMusicalHistory.Anyone who knows Ani, knows that her music is mainly about being live. She is at her finest on stage, complete with flaws and mistakes. Those of you who want a portrait of just the singer, buy LIVING IN CLIP. If you want a portrait of the SONGS, then buy the studio albums. UPUPUPUPUPUP is merely a continuation of what she has always been doing. She started as a folksinger, and she still is a folksinger (and she will probably always be a folksinger). Whether she is back to simple melodies on "Tis of Thee" or "Everest" (Jewel-esque, as some people disdainfully proclaim), or she is getting a little country with "Angry Anymore," she is STILL a folksinger. She may use vocal distortion and keyboards on "Jukebox," but she is just as funky as she was on "The Diner" back in her OUT OF RANGE days. As for the critics and former fans who constantly gripe that she's "gone off writing about love... she's lost her politics" . . . all I have to say to you is what do you think "Both Hands" is about? "Both Hands"... her signature tune and all-time favorite of die-hards? It's a love song. What about "Falling like this" and "Hell Yeah" and "This Bouquet" and "Sorry I Am" (I could go on...)? You think she's lost her politics? Gosh, you're right! "Tis of Thee" must NOT be about racism! "Come Away" must NOT be about drug addiction! "Trickle Down" must NOT be about corporate power! Gimme a break. The very title song is about politics. To be honest, I did not take to UPUPUPUPUPUP at first. But after several listenings I realized that she is doing what she has always done. She's documenting her live material onto an album. She's being creative in reinterpreting her own songs. She's being uninhibited. She's being a folksinger. And that's fine with me."
Jon | 10/21/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Let me start out by saying: this is an incredible album. It has more of a jam feel than any of her other albums, and you can just hear her and the band having fun. But now let me say that I am tired of hearing the old die hard fans complain that her music has "changed," that she's not "folk-punk" anymore, and that this album isn't any good.Ani's music is growing, and we should be happy to be able to witness the evolution. Where her lyrics used to be brilliant because they were raw and in your face, starting with this album, her ideas get more complex, her metaphors take a few lines to unfold, her melodies are more complicated...This album will always be one of my favorites because it feels free, spontaneous, and innocent. It also marks the real beginning, I think, of her music with the band. Again, a great album from a great artist...even if she isn't still making the same music she did when she was 19!"
Another favorite Ani Difranco album
Erica Anderson | Minneapolis, MN | 01/13/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)
"It has been awhile since I popped in "Up Up Up Up Up Up". My taste in music has changed drastically over the years. I am not the big Ani Difranco fan that I used to be. Eight years ago, I used to buy her cds on the day that they were released. My how times have changed. Still I respect Ani immensely for her DIY ethics and eschewing corporate America when it comes to her music. Next to "Little Plastic Castles" and "Dilate", "Up Up Up Up Up Up" is one of my favorite Ani Difranco cds. Songs like "Angry Any More" and "'Tis of Thee" really speaks to me lyrically. Unlike her earlier work, "Up Up Up Up Up Up" incorporates other different instruments other than Ani's traditional fierce guitar playing. The banjo, the organ, piano, and bass all adds a different layer of sound to Ani's music and gives her music new life. I personally love "Up Up Up Up Up Up". It is different from Ani's earlier music but I think it is still as good."

Hosted by The broke and the bookish.
My number one covers: artwork/illustrations! I love looking at detailed covers with pretty drawings.
Two trends I really don't care for are faces from girls and New adult covers.
Minimalist covers are my thing, because I love how abstract they are. Plus they're usually a lot more subtly relevant to the story (instead of, say, a romance novel with people kissing on the cover). The minimalist things give things away, but not too much.ReplyDelete
OOh nice topics! I totally forgot the fairytale esque covers or even colorful ones!
I'm 50/50 on the face books. It really just depends on what the face looks like and how its presented as representation for the novel. So yeah, 50/50 on a book by book basis! ;)
Here's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Yeah, there are a few face covers I like!Delete
I think I'd like to design book covers for my next career. Wouldn't that be fun?
Here's my list of things I like about book covers.
Covers with pretty dresses aren't always appealing to me anymore because I am so tired of seeing them but the ones you featured, ahh they are all so gorgeous and I actually have some of those books on my TBR so yay for that! :D
I hate covers with faces. There are a handful of exceptions but on the whole I cannot stand them .-.
Fantastic list, Mel! :)
Rashika @ The Social Potato
Some dress covers are cliché, but some are just.. so pretty! I want those dresses, haha, even when I have no occasion to wear them.Delete
lol, you HAVE to forgive me, but you do start off your post saying "we all love to buy boys with pretty covers"...I laughed quite weirdly there. Hehe. BUT BACK TO YOUR POST. *ahem* Yes, yes, I do absolutely adore minimalist covers. They're my favourites. Like Rainbow Rowell? She consistently scores the best simplistic covers there is! Illustrations also rock in my opinion. :)
My TTT!
HAHA, thanks for telling me *quickly edits mistake*Delete
The Wizard's Promise is so interesting, I'd frame that one. Illustrations catch my eye because they usually look like someone put time and thought into the design, versus the faces/NA covers. Those just make me sigh.ReplyDelete
I love minimalistic covers too!
Great list! Here's my TTT
That cover for Stray is GORGEOUS. There is something so haunting about it. I really like all of your choices - illustrations, minimalist, and colorful ones are favorite trends of mine as well!ReplyDelete
I ADORE the cover for "The Perilous Sea," and it was the same with "The Burning Sky." I love the focus on the elements and how swirly and pretty the covers are!
I like the poses and the overall feel of the Throne of Glass covers, but I've never liked that Calaena looked blue on them. She's not blue. Is she a smurf? What's happening here?
I never really noticed that! Interesting.. To me it looks more gray-ish, I guess they tried to make a contrast with the background?Delete
I agree I don't think there have been many New Adult covers that I've loved. I also really like minimalism!! And creepy, I'm into that! Great list!
My TTT
Pretty gowns are a turn off for me, also faces on the cover.ReplyDelete
Face/people and NA covers are not my thing either. (Though there are a few rare exceptions...) I absolutely love covers like A Thousand Pieces of You and while I'm very picky I do fall in love with dress covers occasionally (The Cinderella Moment)ReplyDelete
The face covers have become very popular lately. It use to be all we could get was a girl in a dress then that moved to up close faces of the models. I don't love the face covers either.ReplyDelete
Yay for pretty illustration! Shadow and Bone would definitely top my list as well if I did TTT :p It's always refreshing to see a unique cover that represents the book well.
And the cover for A Thousand Pieces of You is GORGEOUS I LOVE IT. I would buy it if it's a matter of cover but I'm not sure about the story since I've read another work by the same author and it didn't turn out so well...
I love so many of these things as well! Creepy, colorful, kickass women. I'm also a sucker for a girl in a fancy dress cover. I know it's played out but I love it!
Cassi @ My Thoughts Literally
Great pics Mel! I love the creepy covers you choose - their really nice! I could look at all these cover forever! I'm in love with the cover for A Thousand Pieces of You!
Happy Reading
Patrick @ The Bookshelves
Oh my gosh, yes! We have a lot the same, no surprise ;) THOSE COVERS *drools* I love the girls covers, especially Crown of Midnight. I can't stop staring at my copy of Heir of Fire. The two you hate just need to DIE.ReplyDelete
KILL THEM WITH FIRE. Haha.Delete
Grave Mercy is a fantastic cover, very striking! Plus the story inside is wonderful too :)
Yeah, I wish the cover designers would get more creative with New Adult covers. Unfortunately they all look really similar.
Oh, yes, the illustrated, kick-ass girls, and minimalist covers...I love all of those. And I hate the faces. Just no. Let me figure out what the character looks like, thank you very much. :)ReplyDelete
Yes, I agree with you on these covers! To be honest, it seems that everyone hates the girl-in-a-dress covers, but they are so pretty, I honestly would buy the book if that was the case. NO SHAME, RIGHT? And my favorite types of covers HAVE to be the one with pretty graphics/typography, like Fangirl or Falling Into Place. I also agree with you on the New Adult covers (they are ALL THE SAME. OMG), and the ones with faces on them. Some of them are just creepily uncomfortable. Lovely post, Mel! Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
To me, they are still very appealing! :DDelete
I have to agree with you on your cover picks Mel, I love covers with girls with pretty dresses on it, also covers with kickass MC's such as Grave Mercy and Crown of Midnight! And the NA covers that you've picked don't really work for me either. There are a few that I've really liked such as Holier than Thou by Laura Buzo and Come Back to Me by Mila Gray!ReplyDelete
Holier than thou isn't that bad!Delete
Definitely love the minimalist and colorful cover! Especially that A Thousand Pieces of You! Definitely a major swoon 0-0
Neysa @ Papier Revue
Minimalist, pretty dresses and illustrated/artsy covers are all on my list too! I never even thought about fantasy or fairy tale covers but I totally agree - they are always beautiful! :)
Em @ Books & Cleverness
Ack. SO MANY gorgeous covers :) I'm in love with many of them, hih. <3 Especially Winterspell. Sigh. I need you to read this book. I loved it so much :D And I really hope you will too. <3 Thank you for sharing Mel :)ReplyDelete
I can't wait to read Winterspell :DDelete
Ok so ALL THE COVERS you featured as liking are some of my favorite covers in life! Shadow and Bone, Poison, Grave Mercy, Crown of Midnight (and ALL the Throne of Glass books to be honest) Scarlet, The Jewel, Stitching Snow, Winterspell, A Thousand Pieces of You, those Seven Realms covers, Snow Like Ashes and Gates of Thread and Stone ♥♥♥ Like you I love my fantasy-looking covers, colourful covers and ones with fierce warrior women front and center! Artwork and illustrated covers are among my favorites too! I also agree on NOT being a fan of covers with faces. Close ups of random faces are just a turn off for me. And their some cover artists idea of what the MC would look like which likely doesn't match up with the author's vision anyways! I'd much rather just imagine my own faces thank you very much! Fantastic post and picks Mel ♥ReplyDelete
All the series I feature here have one of the best covers <3Delete
Agreed! New adult covers do tend to all look the same to me. And you're totally right about fairy tale adaptation covers: they're all beautiful. Did you see The Glass Casket cover? Breathtaking. I love the Stray cover as well. So good.ReplyDelete
Oh yes, that is a gorgeous cover too!Delete
oooh i REALLY LOVE the minimalistic covers!! So simple yet so beautiful as well! A Thousand Pieces of You is SO GORGEOUS! Great picks, Mel! All of those look super pretty!!
- Farah @MajiBookshelf
I agree with all your likes except the pretty dresses ones. I make exceptions to that one cause sometimes they are awesome.
I also hate faces and the NA covers - yuck.
We have very similar tastes! Artwork/illustrations and minimalist covers are my favorites. I also love color. And I can do without most face and new adult covers although I do love the cover of Sins & Needles. :)ReplyDelete
Illustrated covers are also number one for me, as well!! I'm not sure why... maybe because they tend to be more intricate than covers with model girls on them? And YES, I am SO not a fan of covers with faces and NA covers. If I were to ever read the books with bad covers you showcased above, I would for sure get them in ebook.ReplyDelete
I think it's because it looks like they put more effort in it than, let's say, a cover with a face on it.Delete
I love illustrated covers and kick-a girls!!!! Girls in pretty dresses are.. well, gorgeous to look at. But I also want the dress to make sense and appear in the book, you know? I don't mind looking at gorgeous things though :D Sometimes minimal and simplicity is just the best thing :) Haha! Creepy-looking is where we differ. I don't want to look at them. AT ALL. Colourful and fantasy are some of the best!!! *stares at the Claudia Gray and Sherry Thomas's covers* And yep. Most NA covers aren't my cup of tea and the girls' faces.. well.. *yawns*ReplyDelete
Yes! When the dress they wear on the cover is described in the book, SCORE :DDelete
Omg so true, I just love all fantasy covers, haha. I'm SOOOO excited for Dreamer's Pool! *hops around*ReplyDelete
I love any hand-drawn or covers featuring illustrations. They're always so pretty, and it's even mroe of a bonus if there's lovely hand-lettering. I also love typography-based covers too. And yes to kick-ass looking girls.ReplyDelete
WAIT. Stray is a fairy tale?! -immediately adds to TBR list-
And yes, I love creepy looking covers and colorful covers!
Agreed, who needs those face covers? -shudders-
It feels like such a cliche, but I'm such a sucker for the pretty dress covers! It's just so... pretty! Hah. :)

Samantha says: I keep experiencing the same problem when I make cupcakes: When I take them out of the oven, the papers that you are supposed to put them in to keep them from sticking always look brown or burnt. I like the colors that are on the papers. How can I keep them from burning??????
Baking S.O.S. says: Unfortunately, the paper cupcake liners will always look brown or even burned after baking–there is no way to avoid it due to the high heat of the oven and the fact that the paper liners absorb some of the oils from the cake batter, making them a bit "greasy" and darkening the decorative patterns.
If you would like the paper liners to look fresh and clean after baking, I would suggest placing a new cupcake liner over the outside of the old ones.
A new trend in cupcakes seems to be decorative cupcake "wrappers" such as these I found at kitchenkrafts.com. I have seen similar cupcake wrappers at my local cake supply store. These are a little more costly, but they make for a nice presentation, and they solve that ever-present problem of cupcake liners that look dark and burned.
I hope that helps!

Stone veneer is a manufactured stone building product that is flat on one side and has the appearance of stone on the other side. Adding stone veneer to a concrete foundation wall is a lot easier than many people would expect. The process is straightforward and the end result is a beautiful transformation from a plain concrete foundation wall to an eye-catching stone wall.
Install Scratch Coat
Clean the surface with clear water and a scrub brush. If the concrete foundation had a sealant applied, use a pressure washer to remove the sealant. Allow the surface to dry before applying the scratch coat.
Mix the mortar with water in a 5-gallon bucket or wheelbarrow according to package directions. Scrape the sides well to mix all of the mortar to a consistent, smooth texture.
Spread a layer of mortar approximately ½ to ¾ inch thick on the concrete foundation wall. Start from a bottom corner. If the mortar slides on the wall, add more mortar to thicken the batch. If the mortar falls off the wall, add more water to thin the batch.
Use a hand rake or mason's scratcher to create horizontal lines on the surface. Make the scratches about 1/8 inch deep. The scratch coat needs to dry for at least 48-hours.
Install Stone Veneer
Mix the mortar with water in a 5-gallon bucket or wheelbarrow according to package directions. Scrape the sides well to mix all of the mortar to a consistent, smooth texture.
Apply a ½ to ¾ inch thick layer of mortar on the back of each piece of stone veneer. Press each piece firmly on the wall. Give each piece a gentle twist to set it into the scratch coat. Start from a bottom corner and work your way across and up diagonally. If the stone veneer slides on the wall, add more mortar powder to the mortar mix. If the pieces fall off the wall, add a little water to the mortar mix.
Press the mortar into the joins with a stick to push the mortar away from the edges of the veneer after placing each piece. Allow the veneer to dry for 24 to 48 hours.
Mix grout according to the directions on the package. Fill a grouting bag with grout and slowly press the bag with the nozzle positioned between the pieces of stone veneer. Use a thin grout trowel to level the grout.
Things You Will Need
- Scrub brush
- Pressure washer (optional)
- Mortar mix
- 5 gallon bucket or wheelbarrow
- Hand shovel
- Hand rake or mason's scratcher
- Mason's trowel
- Stick
- Grout
- Grouting bag
- Grout trowel
- Plan this project for overcast weather when no rain is expected.
- Read and follow all safety precautions printed on the mortar mix and grout labels.

Ryman Auditorium, April 18, 2008
The Ryman Auditorium
I went on a backstage tour of the Ryman the day before the concert. The structure was built in the 1890s as a tabernacle for a traveling preacher. The seats are the original church pews. The balcony was added later in the decade to accommodate the large number of Civil War veterans who met there for reunions. The balcony was named "The Confederate Gallery."
The Grand Ole Opry radio show moved to the Ryman in the 1940s, and remained there until moving to the Opryland theme park in the 1970s. The Opry still uses the Ryman for its performances four months of the year.
A major renovation took place in 1993 and 1994. A new lobby was constructed at the rear of the building, and consequently the back of the Ryman is now the front. To preserve the historical integrity of the building, the doors leading from the lobby to the balcony were cut through the original second-floor windows.
Believe it or not, the Ryman did not have any dressing rooms until this renovation took place! The artists dressed in the bathroom and did their vocal warmups in the alley! There are now six dressing rooms, each named after an Opry star. On my tour, we saw the Carter-Cash room and the Minnie Pearl room, among others.
We also had the chance to stand in the wings, where many an Opry star experienced the thrill of seeing their dreams come true.

The Concert
What a show! Justin sounded absolutely wonderful. Unlike my show last year, which was so loud my ears were ringing, the volume at this show was perfect. The crowd was very enthusiastic.....a standing ovation for every song, and long applause that twice turned into rhythmic stomping and clapping. Justin appeared to be relaxed and in a good mood, and he smiled a lot.
He got chatty once, when he did his "speech" near the beginning. He mentioned the history of the Ryman, and how cool it was to see the old photos in the dressing rooms. Then he laughed and said he didn't know who most of the people in the photos were, but they were cool anyways! He brought up the fact that the Everly Brothers were discovered at the Ryman, which meant a lot to him because the Everlys were one of the first American pop groups to get exposure in the UK, and they introduced kids his age to rock music. Then he did a little rambling about the carpeting in the dressing rooms.
Justin's hair is getting quite long, and he kept tossing it back out of his eyes. When he bounced in time to the music, his hair bounced, too! During the long standing ovation for Nights In White Satin, he kept bowing, and his hair kept flopping down, and then he stood up and his hair fell back into place ....over and over and over again!
Justin has been performing Voices In The Sky at some shows this tour, but they didn't do it tonight. Another change was the backdrop....there weren't any slideshows or videos, just a starry background that changed color. It was very pretty. I think I prefer it to the slides, actually.
John's the flirt of the band, and he sure lived up to that name tonight! At one point, he was smiling at me, "playing to me" and wiggling his hips. What a ham! I waved once to Paul and he waved back. I got a smile out of Justin after The Other Side Of Life when I was waving my glowstick over my head and cheering. He seems to really like it when the audience does the glowstick thing. After the song, he was pointing to those of us in the front who had them, as if to say "thanks."
In what has become somewhat of a tradition, Justin stopped during Question to let us sing. December Snow was especially nice. The starry background turned blue, and Justin and Paul had their lovely guitar/keyboard interplay in the middle. We all clapped for Paul and he smiled and nodded in response. Justin really gives everything he's got when he sings Nights In White Satin. Watching him perform that song is simply mesmerizing.
After the concert, I stood outside the stage door (in the rain) to wait for the band. I spent some time talking to a guy who got Justin's guitar pick. He showed it to me and let me hold it. After awhile, the band came out and got into their bus. The security guy said they wouldn't sign anything, but Justin was so nice... he stopped briefly to sign about three or four things for people.
Meeting Justin
I spent some time outside the stage door Friday afternoon, hoping to catch a glimpse of the band and maybe get some autographs. I took along my Days of Future Passed Deluxe SACD, which already has Tony Clarke's and Derek Varnals' autographs on it. My camera was in my bag. My goal this time around was to get autographs, not pictures.
One other couple was waiting with me. At 4:45, a security guy came outside and stood by the stage door. We learned from him that Justin was arriving alone, ahead of the band. A few minutes later, Justin was driven up in a car. As he got out, the three of us made our move! Justin was so nice. His response to our requests for pictures and autographs was always, "Sure!" When the other couple asked if they could have a picture with him, I hurriedly dug my camera out of my bag. I couldn't miss this opportunity!
I was nervous, and yes it was thrilling! But most of all, I couldn't believe that it had happened, just like I planned.
The rest of the band arrived in a bus at 6:15, but security hustled them past us without acknowledging us. I was disappointed, but only a little.

Now it's time to wish goodbye to summer, to the South, to my family, to my friends, in exchange for the North of England, cold weather, student accommodation, lots of reading, and even more partying.
It's safe to say I cannot wait. I've known, for as long as I can remember, that I wanted to go to University and now it's time!
I've had a lovely summer full of wonderful moments:
walks, picnics, meals out, tennis, cocktails, celebrating my results, and luckily I have these memories to remember during the cold and long nights full of reading and essay writing.
lots of reading...
In truth, I can't wait to get stuck into some reading and working. Although I haven't been completely dormant, I do feel the need to achieve and to feel challenged.
I am really keen to embrace all my new opportunities (as cliched as it sounds), and to meet as many people as possible.
This last week has consisted exclusively of packing, worrying that I've forgotten something,
enjoying my beautiful anniversary flowers from Joe before I have to leave them
and spending a nice last week with my family.
Tomorrow I'm moving in, as are all of my possessions, I only wish they'd take themselves up the stairs and unpack themselves like in some disney film!
Leaving the house, minus my clutter, it feels very bleak and desolate. Or perhaps it is tidier and slightly more minimalistic- I imagine that's what my parents would say anyway!
Goodnight from the Southern me,
and tomorrow morning it will be a Goodmorning from a newly adopted Northerner!

Kristin Tieche led Eye on the Bay crew to NOPA
CBS Channel5 broadcast a special edition of its hit Eye on the Bay last week, and the North Panhandle biking scene received camera time. Program host Liam Mayclem started out rolling along the new 2.2 mile bidirectional bicycle lane on the Bay Bridge, scheduled to open in 2013. "It's so cool to be on here and biking here," Mayclem announced. "We are the first film crew to ever film right here on the new Bay Bridge on the biking path."
In no time NOPA's Kristen Tieche of Velo Vogue, the bicycle fashion site, led Mayclem on a "noisy, kaleidoscopic adventure ride on Market Street," as the host put it. Once the pair reached Divisadero, they eased into seats on the city's first parklet outside Mojo Bicycle Cafe. Mojo owner Remy Nelson explained that his bike shop and cafe are geared to the "urban rider." Mayclem was more expansive. "It's like we're sitting in Paris or on the leafy lanes of Amsterdam." The cafe seating looks great, but Tieche stole the scene with her high spirits and enthusiasm in this first-of-four segments.
Next stop was nooworks on Valencia (formerly located in NOPA) for runway bike fashions and purchases and then off to AT&T Park where Mayclem thanked Tieche for an "awesome date" before leaving his bike with Liam Casey of SF Bicycle Coalition's valet parking service.
"Eye on the Bay" was "all about biking," and the program covered the scraper bike sensation in East Oakland that tries to "keep youth out of trouble," visited with mountain bike inventor Mike Sinyard in Morgan Hill, and then had Mayclem take trial spins with new rides at Mike's Bikes. The finale came with the bike messengers of Mission-based TCB Courier.
In the last two weeks both PBS and CBS have filmed segments in the North Panhandle. I think we're happy to share the neighborhood.
