San Diego emerged Wednesday as the staging ground for a novel immigration-reform lobby that brings together the disparate interests of organized labor and high-tech businesses, of police chiefs and civil-liberties activists, of conservative pastors and progressive clergy.
The coalition — San Diegans United for Commonsense Immigration Reform — announced some consensus principles but gave few detailed proposals during a news conference in Sorrento Valley.
The overarching goal is to push for an overhaul of the U.S. immigration system this year. Central to the group's campaign is a call to create a "roadmap to citizenship" for the estimated 11 million unauthorized immigrants living the United States. Another main priority is streamlining the immigration process in a "market-driven" way that "responds to the needs of business."
"Our economy and our public safety depend upon getting it right," said Nathan Fletcher, chairman of the coalition and a senior director of corporate development at Qualcomm, which said it has struggled to fill jobs because many highly skilled foreign workers cannot get work visas. "If we can do it here, then any city can get it done. If we can get a group of people who can step outside of their comfort zones a little ... we expect Congress to be getting it done."
Other prime objectives for the coalition include protecting civil liberties as the federal government devises better ways to thwart illegal immigration and boosting border security through smart use of technology, not by hiring more enforcement agents or erecting more fencing along the U.S.-Mexico boundary.
Indications are that President Barack Obama and Congress may take up major immigration reform in the spring or summer. Proposals could be comparable in scale to an extensive revamp of the immigration system in 1986. President Ronald Reagan approved that legislation, whose border- and workplace-security provisions have been criticized as inadequate or poorly enforced.
The new coalition will have to provide details on how to halt incentives that encourage illegal immigration if it wants to influence Congress, said Peter Nunez, a former U.S. attorney and a lecturer on immigration policy at the University of San Diego.
"There are all kinds of different ways to provide a path to citizenship, but how is this going to effect future illegal and legal immigration?" he asked.
Backed by the county farm bureau, the American Civil Liberties Union and the county's sheriff and district attorney, San Diegans United bears the unmistakable imprimatur of mobile chip maker Qualcomm, whose chairman and chief executive, Paul Jacobs, met with Obama last month as the president sounded out employers and union leaders on issues including immigration.
The Wednesday news conference took place in the lobby at Qualcomm headquarters.
During the event, the coalition also announced the launch of its website, Twitter feed, Facebook page and toll-free phone number, which will transfer calls to the appropriate congressional office based on the constituent's zip code.
Fletcher and other supporters of San Diegans United hope to capitalize on the region's binational dynamics — such as the world's busiest land border crossing — and stature as a touchstone for immigration debates.
Southern California has at times played a prominent role regarding immigration and border security. These include Proposition 187 in 1994, which sought to deny public services to unauthorized immigrants, and the federal government's Operation Gatekeeper, which reinforced the California section of the U.S.-Mexico border during President Bill Clinton's administration.
Local law-enforcement agencies across San Diego County were early adopters of Secure Communities, a federal program where officers run background checks on people they arrest to find unauthorized immigrants.
Among the new coalition's guiding principles is a commitment to strengthening border security by "investing in smarter borders," with emphasis on infrastructure investments at ports of entry to better manage travel and commerce and detect unlawful activity.
Endorsing the group's approach, San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore said despite drug-gang violence in Mexico, crime rates in San Diego County are near a 30-year low.
"Depending on an air-tight border is just unrealistic," Gore said. The border "is more secure than it's been in the last 40 years."
San Diegans United's other public-safety members include San Diego Police Department Chief William Lansdowne and Chula Vista Police Department Chief David Bejarano.
Wednesday's news conference included a personal appeal by Pedro Aguilar, 23, a civil engineering student at San Diego State University. Aguilar said he moved to the United States with his family at age 1 and grew up in City Heights. He said he has declined a scholarship and turned down jobs because of his unauthorized status.
Aguilar has registered for a two-year waiver from deportation and a work permit under the Department of Homeland Security's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which was put in place last August.
"I've always considered myself an American even though I was told I am not," said Aguilar, in what he called his first public appearance about his immigration status. "I've become a little jaded over the past couple of decades, but I believe (reform) will happen soon."
Those expectations may run into resistance from people who believe that any pathway to U.S. citizenship for the unauthorized would create a bigger burden on government services and undermine law-abiding Americans' search for employment in a still-fragile economy.
Ted Hilton of Pacific Beach, chairman of the Taxpayer Revolution Committee, said San Diegans United is "just not addressing what's going on in society."
Nunez, the former U.S. attorney, said the coalition appears tailored to special interests.
"The Qualcomms of this world ... it's easy for them to join the pro-amnesty crowd so that they can get some kind of expanded guest-worker program," he said.
For Juan Daniel Espitia, a native of Mexico and pastor at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church, the birth of the coalition has revived his hopes for bringing about substantive change to the federal immigration system.
He said 64 members of his church — more than one-third of his Spanish-speaking congregation — have been deported or left town over deportation concerns in the past four years.
"This kind of coalition, at this level, is a dream come true," he said. "Finally we can see the wheels turning."

NORWALK, Ohio --
Black cats, broken mirrors, cracks in the pavement, all are potential hazards for the superstitious, but none is as powerful as the dreaded number 13.
Often the most diabolical day of the month for those that fear the number, when you combine the 13th with a day at the races, the results are often less than pleasing. And that was the fear for Washington who wasn't actually supposed to race on Saturday, October 13, but with a storm on its way and a potential washout on Sunday, the IHRA was left with no choice but to finish the remainder of the Summit Racing Equipment World Finals, including the Tournament of Champions, all on the 13th.
"What can I say, I am very superstitious and Saturday being the 13th, that number is a bad number for me," Washington said. "When I heard we were racing that day I just kept asking 'why does it have to be today of all days.'"
Throw in a terrible race the day before where Washington lost first round of the Summit Sportsman Spectacular, re-entered into the big money race and then lost again within moments of each other, and Washington knew this just wasn't his weekend.
"I lost first round of the shootout, bought back in and then lost again so I just sat around all day and then partied a little bit Saturday night since, you know, we were just making time runs," Washington said. "So when I get up on Saturday I am tired, worn out and then I find out we are going racing and it caught us all by surprise. I kept beating myself up about the shootout losses and here we are racing and doing it on the 13th to boot."
"I won't lie, it does change the way you look at things," Washington said with a laugh. "I don't think I am going to be bothered by the number quite as much after this."
The lucky streak that broke Washington's superstitions was none other than a win during the IHRA Summit Racing Equipment Tournament of Champions presented by AMSOIL as Washington, from King George, Virginia, went five rounds in the biggest class of the weekend to claim the Top Dragster World Championship, his first career IHRA championship.
"This is just awesome. This is such a great deal Summit puts on to support us class racers like this," Washington said. "I am so excited, I don't think it has even sunk in yet what this means. This year has been so up and down for us. We won a couple of races, started off great and then the last two months we have really been getting beat up pretty bad. This puts me back on top and it feels great."
After five rounds of deadly competition against a who's who of Top Dragster talent, Washington found himself going up against Greg Slack in the Top Dragster final. And with a world championship on the line both drivers pulled into the lanes prepared for a fight, but Slack jumped the gun and went red by -.017 allowing Washington to collect one of the biggest wins of his career.
"Today, once I won first round, it was like a monkey was lifted off my back," Washington said. "I got a little bit of confidence and the next round it started to pick up and then I started thinking 'hey, I can do this.' As the day went on I got a little more confidence and we made it all the way to the final.
"Entering the final I saw him dial up two hundredths so I wanted to be aggressive so I dialed up five hundredths. So we get to the line and I know he is tough, I have been reading about him forever, and I just get lucky. He went red and I missed the tree and it just worked out for us.
Washington's "typical" day included wins over Claude DeBonis, Jeremy West, Brett Nesbitt and Jamie Tupper before meeting Albemarle, North Carolina's Slack in the final. Most of those wins were close as DeBonis pushed Washington to the limit in the first round, followed by a breakout by West. Nesbitt also gave the eventual champion all he could handle with a near dead-on run, but Washington's .003 light helped propel him to the win.
In the semifinals Washington and Tupper - who was coming off of a win during the Sportsman Spectacular the day before - went head-to-head in one of the closest races of the entire weekend with Washington getting a starting line advantage with a .024 to a .029 meaning the difference in the race. In the other semifinal Greg Slack used a .011 light to drive around Chad Traylor who ran -.001 under his dial. Slack also had a win over Mia Tedesco.
Washington earned his way into the Tournament of Champions via a third place finish in Division 1 with one win coming at Skyview Drags back in June. Slack had a much bigger year coming into the tournament, winning the Division 9 crown with one win and one runner-up on the year.
Despite not having the best of years, Washington can now call himself a World Champion after an improbable win during what was supposed to be the unluckiest day of the month.
"I have been racing a long time now. I am 33 and I started racing when I was 14 even when I wasn't supposed to be racing," Washington said. "I started out racing in my dad's pickup truck 19 years ago and now here I am a champion. I want to thank Bubba Rodgers for all of the help. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be here. I have to thank Mickey Thompson, FTI, Jegs, Summit and everyone that supports me. It takes a lot of friends to make something like this happen."

Jacques Derrida
Jacques Derrida (zhäk´ dĕr´rēdä´), 1930–2004, French philosopher, b. El Biar, Algeria. A graduate of the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, he taught there and at the Sorbonne, the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris, and a number of American universities. In his famously dense and complex writings he refuted the theory of structuralism and attempted to take apart, or
the edifice of Western metaphysics and reveal what he deemed its incompatible foundations. In Of Grammatology (1967, tr. 1976), for example, Derrida contended that Western metaphysics (e.g., the work of Saussure, whose theories he rejected) had judged writing to be inferior to speech, not comprehending that the features of writing that supposedly render it inferior to speech are actually essential features of both. He argued that language only refers to other language, thereby negating the idea of a single, valid
of a text as intended by the author. Rather, the author's intentions are subverted by the free play of language, giving rise to many meanings the author never intended.
Derrida had a major influence on literary critics, particularly in American universities and especially on those of the "Yale school," including Paul de Man, Geoffrey Hartman, and J. Hillis Miller. These deconstructionists, along with Derrida, dominated the field of literary criticism in the 1970s and early 1980s. Influential in other fields as well, the philosophy and methodology of deconstruction was subsequently expanded to apply to a variety of arts and social sciences including such disciplines as linguistics, anthropology, and political science. Derrida's writings include Writing and Difference (1967, tr. 1978), Margins of Philosophy (1972, tr. 1982), Limited Inc. (1977), The Post Card (1980, tr. 1987), Aporias (tr. 1993), and The Gift of Death (tr. 1995).
See biography by B. Peeters (2012); study by C. Norris (1987); A. Z. Kofman, dir., Derrida (documentary, 2002).

But we're not just zombie movie watchers. We're also zombie movie makers.
Last summer, during my annual stint at music camp, I made a zombie movie with my brother and the staff and campers. We managed to film and edit the entire movie in just under a week. And everyone had a lot of fun. Some of the leaders were a bit nervous when they heard rumors of a zombie movie; they were apprehensive about it being a horror movie, but when the movie was screened on the final day of camp, every one was pleased. (At least, no one came to yell at me afterwards.)
My brother and I entered the film into a couple of film contests and festivals, but it was rejected (awww...). That was kinda' sad, but instead of being depressed about our rejection we are - finally - making it available for you to watch and enjoy - perhaps you'd like to watch and enjoy it during your next family holiday vacation.
We made extensive use of The Freesound Project - both in the music and sound effects - for this film:
Logo Crash
Olga's Table Door slam

They Open the Trunk
This Accursed Melody (Fortissimo)

Ms Murky Mondays:
Whirlwind Life
It's already Monday night and I feel like I need a vacation. I have been working hard and miraculously manage to get everything checked off my "to-do" list. Of the many things I do, real estate sales is one of them and as of late, my little farmlette listing has been getting lots of actions with a deal in the works. YIPPEE!!
My interior decorating projects are coming along as well. It's always gratifying to see the results of months of work. Here's a peak at a partially finished room - a few more orders and deliveries and it will be complete!!
And today I had a fun excursion to White Flower Farm with Dottie Weber, a great interior decorating client and we did some damage purchasing some perennials for Dottie's "exterior" design. I manage to be a full service operation!! Here's our loot:
But have no fear, I have not lost my heirloom meals way....while typing this blog post I have eggplant and tomatoes roasting in the oven to compose into eggplant parmesan as a side to leftover grilled hangar steak!! YUM. Until tomorrow......

Used VL3500Q 1200W spot luminaire moving light in flight case with omega brackets and hooks.
Photos on request.
Proudly built in the USA, the VARI*LITE VL3500Q Spot luminaire is a powerful 1200W luminaire with a reduction in noticeable noise output from the standard VL3500 luminaire. The VL3500Q Spot luminaire maintains the same high standards set by the original VARI*LITE Series 3000 Spot luminaires for imagery, beam control, color and brightness. The added feature is a four-blade shutter mechanism that allows the blades to be operated independently or in unison on two planes for a clear and crisp image. The "Q" range fixtures are designed for situations where the absence of noise is critical to the performance.
The VL3500Q Spot moves and operate the same as the VL3500 Spot luminaire. The trade off is strictly thermal. The "Q" range has an ambient temperature rating of 40-degrees Celsius, compared to the 50-degree Celsius rating on the standard "non-Q" fixtures.
The VARI*LITE VL3500Q Spot luminaire features 6:1 zoom optics, CYM color mixing, variable CTO color temperature correction, a six-position color wheel, one rotating gobo/effects wheel, one fixed gobo/effects wheel, and separate dimmer and ultra-fast strobe mechanisms. A standard pallet of gobos, effects and colors is provided with the unit. Custom gobos, effects and color are available.
An upper enclosure houses the control electronics as well as the arc power supply for the 1200 watt short arc lamp. The arc power supply is power factor corrected for superior power distribution and efficiency.
The VL3500Q Spot luminaire can be controlled from a wide variety of DMX512 consoles without the need for additional interface equipment.
The change in size and weight due to the modifications is minimal, allowing a consistent hang configuration and appearance no matter which luminaire type is required. The bottom vent cover is one inch taller, and the fixture is three pounds heavier than standard VL3500 Spot fixtures.
VARI*LITE is the brand name of one of the first automated, variable-colour stage lighting systems to be created. Their intelligent lighting fixtures are commonly used in theatre ,concerts,television,film,and corporate events.
Female: A term applied to a connector that contains the holes or slots for receiving the pins, prongs, blades or tabs of a male connector. The female connector should always be attached to the line side of a circuit. Field Angle: The angle of the vertex of a cone-shaped beam where the perimeter of the base is defined by where the intensity is 10% of the maximum intensity. Field Diameter: The diameter of the base of a cone-shaped beam where the perimeter of the base is defined by where the intensity is 10% of the maximum intensity. Filament: The wire inside an incandescent lamp envelope that glows and emits light when heated, i.e., when electricity passes through it. Fill: To create the illumination needed to reduce shadows in an area or on a subject. Fill Light: Angled from the side opposite the key light, this light softens the shadows created by the key and evens out the lighting ratio. Filter: A term that refers to color media, diffusion material, light blocking or neutral density. Filter Frame: See Color Frame. Finger: A small, narrow, rectangular scrim, diffuser, reflector, or gobo, placed close to a light source, used for dimming, softening, bounce lighting, and casting shadows, respectively. Fingers are usually 2" to 6" in length, and 12" to 14" in width. FL: A lamp designation that means "flood." Flag: (Filter, Gobo) An opaque panel, usually made of fabric, placed in the beam of a light source to block a portion of the beam or the whole beam. It can also hide lights in the dark recesses of a scene. They are usually square or slightly rectangular in shape, ranging from 10" to 48" in length, and 12" to 48" in width. Which term you use depends upon the device's size and what part of the country you are in. Flash: A tube filled with xenon gas through which an electrical charge of high voltage is passed to create an electrical arc that emits a short, bright flash of light. Flash light is daylight balanced, usually measuring 5500° Kelvin. See Strobe. Flat Light: See Diffuse Light. All light is characterless, texture less and shallow shadowed when the source is close to the camera. Soft light is, by its nature, flatter than hard light, but even a soft source, above or to the subject's side, is not flat. Flicker: The flashing of some light sources that cannot be visually detected because of the frequency of its output voltage, but can adversely affect the way motion picture film records light. Flicker-Free: A term used to describe electronic ballasts that electronically alter the electrical frequency that causes flicker. Flood: The position of a moveable lamp, lens or pair of lenses on a spotlight that produces the widest field angle. To direct a large amount of light on a relatively large area. Flood Light A light source consisting of a rectangular lamp and sometimes a single lens, used to direct a large amount of light on a relatively large area. Floppy Flag: A large flag that is designed to fold in half and function as a cutter or smaller flag. Fluorescence: The property of certain materials to absorb radiation of certain wavelengths, usually ultraviolet, and re-emit the radiation as light. Fluorescent Lights: Cool and daylight balanced, fluorescent lights have become very popular for photographic and video capture. Fluorescent lighting can be used in the form of screw-in bulbs and reflectors, or rectangular banks of lights. Foamcore: A polystyrene, Styrofoam material used as a substrate for some reflector boards, effective because of its light weight and ease of mounting via reflector forks. Focus: To aim and adjust a light source to give the beam its desired size (spot or flood), edge (soft or hard), field (even or peak) and shape (round, patterned or cut). Focus Lens: A movable lens in a multi-lens optical system that adjusts the focus of a light source. Follow Spot: A narrow-beam focusing instrument that is manually operated and is usually composed of a powerful light source, an iris, shutters, a color changer and other features. It is usually operated from an adjustable stand and is used to follow performer(s) on a stage with its beam, surrounding the performer(s) in a large pool of light. Foot-candle (fc): A non-metric unit of measurement for Illumination, i.e., 1 lumen per square foot. Framing Projector: A spotlight that has framing shutters or barn doors. Framing Shutters: Thin, movable, heat-resistant metal plates that are introduced into a beam such that a portion(s) of the beam is blocked off, i.e., framed; affecting the beam pattern, usually forming a sharp edge in the beam. They are used in various types of light sources, but extensively in ellipsoidal spotlights, usually four (top, bottom, right and left); follow spots, usually two (top and bottom), always situated internally, and usually at the aperture. Framing shutters generally can be independently adjusted, but those used in follow spots usually move simultaneously with a single control mechanism.French Flag: A small metal flag, usually used for shading. Fresnel: Short for Fresnel Spotlight. Fresnel Lens: Named for its inventor, French physicist Augustin J. Fresnel, and developed around 1800 for lighthouses, this is a flat lens consisting of concentric rings on one side that are segments of the spherical portion of a Plano-convex lens. The other side is flat, i.e., Plano. It controls light in the same manner as a Plano-convex lens, which converges light into a beam. Many light sources employing this type of lens have a stippled pattern on the flat side of the lens to diffuse to smooth out the beam. Fresnel Spotlight: A spotlight employing a single Fresnel lens that produces a soft-edged beam, usually provided with a spherical reflector and a means to adjust the focus from spot to flood. F/Stop: A rating often applied to scrims used in the film and video industries on their ability to dim light. This rating is directly related to a camera's ability to allow for the admittance of light. Full Scrim: A metal scrim whose screen occupies the complete frame. Fuse: An electrical device designed to stop the flow of electricity automatically when a predetermined over current tries to pass through it. This is meant to prevent further damage or fire from overheating. Fused Quartz: A relatively pure, high-temperature glass used to manufacture lamp envelopes. It has a melting point of approximately 1650° C. Gaffer: The lighting technician who is in charge of the electrical aspects of a set or production. Gaffer Grip: A large, spring-loaded clamp with serrated or rubbercushioned jaws. It usually has a stud or studs for the attachment of luminaries and grip equipment. Gaffer's Pole: See Operating Pole. Gag: An apparatus composed of two grip heads attached to each other via a common bolt. Gel (Gelatin, Media): As used with photographic lights, a strong, flexible, fade-resistant material, used to change the color, amount or quality of light. A colored filter placed in front of a lighting fixture. Color is an important element in adult learning Gobo: A logo or image etched out of metal that allows it to be projected onto a screen, wall, banner or other solid surface. Often used for brand reinforcement during events. Video mapping can be used to produce a similar by higher-end effect. Guide Number: Guide numbers are used as a rating system to gauge the power or range of flash. The guide number equals the distance x f/stop. For example, say your flash has a guide number of 80'. At ISO 100, to determine the proper exposure for a subject 20 feet away, multiply 20 by X number (in this case 4) to get 80 (the guide number). Setting the aperture to f/4 (80 = 20 × 4) will render a proper exposure (at ISO 100). Hair Light: Light source aimed at a subject's hair to create separation from the background and add sparkle and highlights. Halation: The distortion that appears around the edge of a sharply focused beam pattern. This effect can be reduced with the aid of a donut. Half Scrim: A metal scrim whose screen occupies one half of its frame so that the straight edge of the screen is located across the diameter of the frame. It is used to cut light output. Halogen: The name for a family of gases, used in lamps, to maintain proper color temperature. Hard Edge: A beam pattern edge that is very clear and distinguishable, i.e., one without a fuzzy or blurry perimeter. Hard Light: Illumination that has a hard edge and produces sharply defined shadows. Often this light is very intense, but generally less flattering than soft light. A light source that provides such illumination. Head: A general term for a Fresnel spotlight. The part of a follow spot that contains the light source, i.e., not the stand, ballast or interconnect cable. The part of a metal halide light source that contains the lamp, i.e., not the ballast or interconnect cable. The part of an ellipsoidal spotlight that contains the reflector, i.e., not the lens barrel or the cap. Short for Grip Head or Ball Head. Hertz: A unit of measurement for the Frequency of alternating current, i.e., one cycle per second. Highboy (Hiboy): A heavy-duty stand designed to hold light sources or heavy grip equipment. The stand is equipped with wheels and tall risers, and usually a 1 and 1/8" receiver and a grip head. High Key: A lighting style in which the majority of the scene is highly illuminated, usually enhanced by bright costumes and sets. A low ratio of key plus fill light lowers the contrast, helping to obtain this effect. Hollywood Box: A piece of power distribution equipment used in the film and video industries, composed of a metal housing, a means for connecting an electrical supply and female flush-mount connectors or bus bars that can be electrically connected with bus bar lugs, for the purpose of supplying electricity to light sources. Some are also provided with over current protection. Hot Lights: Common term for continuous light sources, especially tungsten or halogen lights that run hot. Hot Restrike: A term applied to an igniter that can hot-start an arc lamp. Hot Spot: The spot of light with the highest intensity, ideally located at or near the center of a beam that has been focused for a peak field. Hot Start: A term used to describe the ignition of a heated arc lamp, i.e. a lamp that has just been electrified. HMI: Abbreviation for Hydrargyrum (Greek for Mercury) Medium-Arc Lodides. This is a commonly used type of metal halide lamp manufactured by Osram-Sylvania Corp. The term Osram HMI is trademarked. Hz: Abbreviation for Hertz. Illumination: Generally, a term for light or lighting. In photometry, the amount of light, i.e., luminous flux per unit area incident on a surface, in foot-candles or lux. Incandescent: A term used to describe a lamp, or a light source that utilizes such a lamp, that employs the incandescence of a filament as its light source. The filament is housed in a vacuum; enough electricity is passed through the filament that it glows. Such a lamp was first developed by Thomas Edison (United States) and Joseph Swan (Great Britain), independently, in 1879. Indirect Lighting: Illumination that falls on an area or subject by reflection, e.g. bounce lighting. Inky: A small Fresnel spotlight with a 1.5" to 3" lens diameter, usually 100250 watts. Intensity (Light Output): The "strength" of the incident light source, independent of the subject's reflectivity.

Photographer's Note
Good Morning Everyone,
Please click on Looking Down on Lucca to see the photograph much bigger and clearer. Believe me, the improvement is worth the effort!
A photograph, recently posted by Carlo, of Lucca, made me realise that I had photographs of the town, too, and I wondered if he recognised any of the buildings.
I remember climbing up a tall, square tower, with many, many steps, to get this photograph of Lucca.
It had been quite a dull day, gently raining, at times, but I really had to take the scenes as they were as we were only in Lucca for one day. Strangely, this photograph didn't reveal the weather conditions.
I will post a second photograph as a w/s, here , taken from the same location but one which showed the greyness of the day. I think the tower may be Il Campanile di San Frediano, which Carlo posted last.
Have a lovely day, Bev :-)

Hello Beverley,
I was just about to say, this doesn't look like a rainy and dull day at all. It's a beautiful view from this high vantage point down to the many roofs of the town and the very nice patterns of the many old roof tiles. You included the square tower very nicely on the left hand side too.
ikeharel (102161) 2017-12-14 1:16
I am envey, Beverley, simply because you had the time to climb up - and we did not... merely my humor.
The sight is awesome from that spot on the tower, old town labyrinth built style and seign superbly shown, and also, you had a mild light taht brought the red roof-tiles beautifully in multi-tones display.

Hello Bev,
This is a splendid view over the city with lots and lots to see, well worth climbing all those steps. I like the understated colours and the beautifully rendered textural detail.
Grey and wet here again today with slightly less wind, more of the same tomorrow.

Hello, Beverley!
Great panoramic view of the city, taken from an excellent high POV, with that old tower standing out beautifully among the roofs of the houses! Very good colors and sharpness! The view in the workshop is also beautiful in spite of the bad weather! Well done!

Hello Beverley,
I changed trains there but only had a couple of hours to look around so didn't spot this superb high vantage point. Good repetition of the patterns and shapes formed by the tiled rooftops. Tfs!
holmertz (87455) 2017-12-14 3:30
Helo Bev,
The church has a beautiful simplicity, but it's the myriad of old brick roofs that makes the real impact of this photo. It's a marvellous view and even those roofs that seem newer than the rest follow the tradition. It's an advantage to this photo that you cut off the sky, but the WS is also nice in spite of the dull sky. The view of the green hills and distant mountains is very nice.
Kind regards,

Hello Bev,
Reply to you visit to my picture form Bruges.
Saturday were 10.000 people from Basque Country in Bruges with Charles Pogostemon.
I think that your second picture is better if main picture, but this is personal of me.
Both pictures are nice also a view about the all the roofs.
You chose a nice angle with depth and perspective.
Sharpness and clarity are superb.
Very well done, TFS.
Best regards,

Ciao Bev
posso dirti con certezza che questo è il campanile della Chiesa di San Cristoforo che ha la sua facciata su via Fillungo, la strada centrale di Lucca.
Giusta la torre del ws, San Frediano.
Buona giornata

Hello Beverley ,
Despite of the lack of good light , this is a beautiful plunging view on the til roofs of Lucca with the church in the FG .

Hello Beverley,
great Romanesque church in this tight town full of monuments.
Impressive view,
thanks and regards,

BOnjour Bev,
Tu as trouvé la plus haute tour pour prendre cette magnifique ville fortifiée dans toute sa splendeur. J'aime beaucoup cette cité. Les toits sont magnifiques et on constate bien qu'elle fut bâtie un peu n'importe comment.
rychem (70929) 2017-12-14 8:36

Hello Beverley,
Indeed, it looks like someone is lighting a fire on the top of the tower on the picture in the WS.
Climbing towers always rewards you with stunning views.
I like this image of a labyrinth-like town where it must be great to wander around.
The many roofs with red tiles are a wonderful element of this very beautiful picture.
Best regards, Paul
bukitgolfb301 (53764) 2017-12-14 16:03
Hi dear Beverley
Due to some reasones I was away but now come back to TE. Please kindly keep in touch as before.
Wonderful cropping could make so fantastic image as such, perfect framework and tasty proprotion. Unity of color is so admirable to see, sharp and clear presnetation is as usual.
All the best and have a good day! Takero

Hi Bev
yes, very well worth the effort in viewing the BETA version.
When i visit or think of Italy - I see images like this in my mind as a photographer. I was SOOO happy to capture similar ones when I visited. As i'm sure you're happy with this one despite the not-so-good weather. the texture is almost felt through the monitor, love the tight framing, the reds and oranges, the tiles, and the yucky moss dripping from the tower :) well taken
cornejo (61504) 2017-12-17 11:53
Hello Bev, great view on the famous city, very well composed and captured in this good picture. An interesting image, with good sharpness, depth, light, color and quality. Very good job perfectly done, my congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.
Good night and happy beginning of the week.
All the best from the south of Spain.
emka (145587) 2017-12-18 2:58
Hello Bev, As you know, I like climbing the towers, not important how tall they are. And I checked, that I was maybe on the same tower with Carlo. He was very brave, were there for the first time with me :). See here. Magnificent view of the old walls.
Have a nice time before Christmas
maloutim (13617) 2019-03-23 0:05
Another beautiful view on the typical roofs of Lucca also taken from Torre delle ore I suppose. carlo 62
Thanks to Carlo, I am glad it shows Chiesa san Cristoforo. Learning my lesson in advance :-)
I love the WS of Basilica San Frediano too. Different style for the tower but similar nave which seems so long .
Kind regards.

BBC radio 4 on saturday 21st June at 14.30 is broadcasting a recording of Ray bradbury's book 'The Martian Chronicles'....If you've not read it you can hear a version of it here. They did 'The Illustrated Man' last week which was quite good.I suspect they haven't used any music from the album.....
Have not listened to it yet - but they did not ask for any of our music - so i suspect the amatuers at the BBC radiophonic workshop did it all
Slowly putting up the Umbra/HSS releases on Bandcamp - currently Stellar Nurseries, Arhythmia and Floating.
New release coming out on relaxed Machinery:http://relaxedmachinery.ning.com/profiles/blogs/rm-seren-ffordd-fractured-iii-shards-coming-aug-22Will be available as a download from Bandcamp.Shards is the 3rd album in the Fractured trilogy.
That sounds an interesting read right enough.I have recently bought 3 books ; The Picts A History, Before Scotland, Archaeology and Early History of Angus. Currently researching this era of the start of civilisation Loads of ancient Pictish stones, forts etc round about my area.Have some musical ideas kicking about on this theme also if I ever get my finger out and get back into recording again. Looking forward to hearing your new release.

1. Honor, learn from, and work with NatureNature is intelligent! It is humans who have managed to create all of the major challenges that we face today. To turn things around, we must humble ourselves enough to first recognize that intelligence and then actively seek to learn from it.
All of the many "bad ideas" which are wreaking havoc on our Earth and our bodies are created out of an arrogance which, it's rapidly becoming clear, is taking us down a path that leads only to more pain.
At New Phoenix Rising, we are taking a different path, one that leads to healing, joy and re-connection with the natural world.
2. Create solution based products which address the most critical health challenges that we face todaySome of the biggest challenges we face today are not even being discussed.

Whether it's airborn chemicals, GMO's in our food, or EMF radiation around us, we've got you covered. Along with our products, we teach simple ways to deal with other issues affecting us all so that your life is rich and fulfilling.
3. Understand traditions in order to move beyond themModern quantum physics is providing new understandings of how energy plays a role in healing. This new information is aligned with many ancient teachings about the nature of life and our relationship with the universe and it incorporates our energy body as well as our physical body.
While there is a growing body of evidence for this energy approach, most companies are stuck in the old chemical model. At New Phoenix Rising, we utilize innovative approaches that work on the whole person engaging the most advanced energy medicine technology to bring you optimal health solutions that work!

I didn't make it home from South Africa in time to see my mom before she died (though luckily we Skyped from her hospital bed). She had been sick for a couple of months (and it had been two years since I had last seen her) but the truth is that because she was so stoic and strong, and had managed to survive several previous brushes with death, I really thought she would pull through. I thought she would outlive us all.
I always said "I love you" at the end of every conversation so I think those were my last words to mom. I hope they were. But now, here, back in Canada, in the house where I spent most of my youth, sorting through her things to give to charity, I am overwhelmed by questions I wish I had asked her.
In appreciation of both my mother's sensitive spirit and her sense of humour, here are the top 10 questions I wished I had asked my mom before she died.
My mom and her beloved dog, Hobbes
1) Mom: Are you scared? Are you sad?
I spoke with the neighbour the other day and she told me you confided in her that you were ready to go and that you had accepted death. This gives me some comfort. Is it true? Did your belief in God and an afterlife make facing death a little easier and a little less scary? I would like to think so.
2) Tribbles? WTF?
When your cat, Tribbles, (who only ever loved you, and who, after you died, roamed the house at night crying as he went from room to room looking for you) scratches me/then bites me/then scratches me again as I try to pet him, is he just being "aggressively" playful or is he (as all rational evidence would indicate) actually trying to maim and/or kill me? Was there not a way you could have "taken him" with you? Feel free to "take" him anytime.
Pure evil -- and yes, his tooth is always like that-not much in the looks department
Free to a good (or not so good...can't afford to be picky) home
3) Where are the rest of the love letters dad wrote you?
I found one in your sock drawer and it was one of the most eloquent, funny, and piercingly beautiful odes to love I have ever read. I have been through all your things and have still not found the rest of the letters (and there is a reference to others so I know there must be more). Dad, in keeping with his staunch, old-school stance on feelings (i.e. men don't have them), refuses to comment. When pushed, he reverts to his typical grunts, which after 40 years I have narrowed down to mean one of two things: "I don't want to talk about it," and/or "pass me the remote." Where would you have put them? Where?
4) When can I get that $100 dollars I lent you?
5) Why did you keep drawers full of mismatched buttons, used shoelaces, and empty plastic Gatorade bottles?
Did you know of a secret market being developed for these seemingly useless products? Should I resist the temptation to throw them out and rather hold on to them so that one day when these items are coveted I can make a fortune?
Bags filled with used shoelaces, Gatorade bottles and buttons
6) Where is your wedding dress?
I would have loved to see it. I can't believe I never thought to ask before. I can't find it anywhere. What did you do with it? You kept used shoelaces but not your wedding dress!? Explain.
7) Dishwasher and oven? WTF?
We haven't had clean dishes since you passed. None of us can figure out how to properly use the settings on the dishwasher. And as for the oven, the rack seems to be stuck on the lowest level and we can't figure out how to move it. Sarah says she can't make a turkey for Christmas unless we figure out how to move the rack. We can't find the instructions for these appliances anywhere! You kept thousands of mismatched buttons but not the oven or dishwasher instructions?! Explain.
8) Remember when I was 13 and you accidentally gave my favourite anthology of poetry away with a bag of used books destined for the Salvation Army?
I thought it was the end of the world and I was so distraught and angry. You put an ad in the classifieds in the local newspaper entitled "Save a Relationship" and a woman responded. She had bought the book and was happy to give it back to you (I still have it). You know how thankful I was, don't you? Don't you?
Beloved book
9) If you're not going to be using it anymore, can I have my kidney back?
10) Did you think of me much as you grew sicker?
Were you sad I wasn't there in time? Do you forgive me? Did you know that despite our sometimes rocky relationship I loved you and miss you terribly? Don't worry, mom. I think I already know the answer to this last question. I Love you too.
RIP: Sylvia MacGregor

Summary: This article shows how to include a live video from an Axis network camera on a Microsoft IIS Web server page using an intermediate image upload via HTTP, from the camera to an .asp script running on the Web server. This is possible to implement with the products having sequential HTTP upload functionality (most of the products in the new generation).The information in this article applies to Axis network cameras and video servers running firmware version 4.xx and supporting sequential HTTP upload.
If a site has many simultaneous connections, it is recommended to "protect" the Axis network video product from overload. Do this by buffering the images on a high performance Web server. The Axis network camera has built-in functionality that enables it to upload images automatically to the "buffer server".
A high hit-rate Internet site may overload the Axis network camera since the maximum number of users who can receive live images simultaneously is 20. Below we explain how you can set this up on a Microsoft IIS Web server.
Configure the Axis network camera to deliver images sequentially to an HTTP (Web). This is done using the Event Configuration in the product's web interface. The Web server runs a script that receive images and will, from these images, generate an image stream to all users who access the Web page.
Preparing the Web server
Create a virtual directory, for example named 'live' on your IIS server pointing to a folder, for example c:\inetpub\wwwroot\live on the server's hard disk.
Download and unpack the necessary files IISupdate.zip (includes Global.asa, filesize.asp, http_upload.asp, readImage.asp, view.htm) in the above folder.
Configure an Axis network video product to perform HTTP upload of images to the http_upload.asp file i.e. in this case the necessary URL in the Event Server configuration would be:
In the Event Type configuration configure HTTP upload to the above server with the desired image frequency (for example 1 frame per second). Use Overwrite option.
View a still image through the readImage.asp script, for example:
View JavaScript updated video from the view.htm file, for example:
The implementation is done in the following way:
In the Global.asa file a global variable is defined that will contain the entire image file.
The http_upload script will insert the image file into this global variable and update it when a new image is sent from the camera. The readImage will simply get the global variable and send it to the user.
Note: Display width and height, BaseURL for the document, URL for script reading images specified in the variable File and update frequency for images can be adjusted in the view.htm file found in the above zip file (see number 2).
Important: Axis does not take any responsibility for how these configuration changes may affect your system. If the modification fails or if you get other unexpected results, you may have to restore the factory default settings as described in the User's Manual.

The Bengals have a surefire starter at free safety in Reggie Nelson.
The picture at strong safety is less clear.
According to Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Bengals have split first-team reps between veterans George Iloka and Taylor Mays and rookie Shawn Williams early in camp. Reedy reports that Mays has generally been the first safety to get 11-on-11 snaps of the trio, but all are getting their chances.
"They have a good competition. Each guy is trying to earn their spot and its good," Bengals defensive backs coach Mark Carrier told the Enquirer.
Mays, 25, started the 2012 season-opener at Baltimore at strong safety, but the Bengals explored other options thereafter, giving Jeromy Miles and Nate Clements looks at the position before finally giving the job to Chris Crocker for the bulk of the regular season. Clements and Crocker are unrestricted free agents, which would seem to signal the Bengals would like to go younger at this spot.
Iloka, a second-pro from Boise State, appeared in seven games as a reserve as a rookie. Williams is the new face, a third-round pick from Georgia, a school the club has drafted from with great success in the Marvin Lewis era.
This is an important season for Mays, who's in the last year of his contract. A breakthrough season could be a career-changer for him. However, the Enquirer's report on the strong safety reps thus far would seem to indicate he's one of multiple options right now.

The Babe Ruth of High School Softball
Ashley Thompson is stunning the fans by her absolute softball dominance. Thompson, a senior at Connell (Wash.) High School, threw six consecutive no-hitters. Not six no-hitters in her high school career; not even six in total for the season; Thompson threw six IN A ROW! (She actually has seven total this season).
Can you imagine having to face a team with a pitcher like that? I'd like to think it'd be a huge waste of time to want to subject your team to an embarrassment like that.
Funny thing is, six straight no-hitters is only third on the all-time list, meaning two other girls threw more consecutive no-hitters. Thompson has something to strive for, I guess, because what she's doing now doesn't seem to be good enough (sarcasm).
"Hey, Nick. So what? It's not like she can hit or anything." – a fake person in my head.
That fake person criticizing me just then is a dumb-dumb. Thompson can hit. Not only is she a dominant pitcher, she leads her team in HRs and RBIs. Actually, she's already a record holder in her school for most career HRs and RBIs. What?! Crazy!
I never hit a home run in Little League and this girl has 23 HRs in a season at the high school level. It's kind of unfair. It's a pretty remarkable story for a player with such a bright future ahead of her. She already agreed to attend BYU for college, so BYU next year will probably win a championship or something equally great.

Here's my weekly confession. I didn't watch the debate. Clearly because I am typing as the two candidates duke it out on the international stage. I know what you're thinking. "Don't you want to know where the parties stand on the issues?" I know where they stand. On opposite sides of a strip of duct tape that goes smack down the middle of the living room.
Democrats? Republicans? They're just two parents in the middle of a nasty divorce, and you have to decide who you're going to live with for the next four years. They're so busy hating each other and trying to take the biggest piece of pie that they have forgotten that they love you at all. And you're not sure you like them, either.
They scream at each other at the dinner table every night for spending too much money and hide their own receipts under the bed. Each blames the other for the drop in their property value, missing the truth, that the entire neighborhood hates them both because they scream at each other in the middle of the street and embarrass everyone. They play nice when it's time for vacation then forget they ever agreed on anything the moment the minivan pulls back in the driveway. And they never take you anywhere fun.
And you secretly wish upon every star, wishbone, and eyelash that you don't actually have to live with either of them. That maybe there's an auntie you never heard of who will swoop in and offer you sanctuary. Or a fun uncle that will set firm but loving limits because they really do have your best interests at heart. Someone who will tuck you in at night and wish you sweet dreams. And you do dream, and sometimes those dreams even come true.
And all the while, your parents are calling you every night and begging you to please, please do the reasonable and grown up thing and choose them. That your life won't be worth living if you don't pick them. And you know then there's no cool relative to save you, so you pick the one that seems least likely to drop their pants at the grocery store at the moment and hope they don't quit taking their meds.
Nah. There's no need to watch the debate. You'll see them around the table at Thanksgiving. I'll bring the mashed potatoes. You bring a new roll of duct tape. This mess is going to go on awhile.

Hello everyone!
I just had a very lovely weekend with my upline Madonna and 10 other fellow demos on retreat. It was just fabulous to get away and just create non-stop……well maybe we stopped to eat and sleep, but that's about it. I walked away with lots of cards to share with you all and I will be posting them here for the next couple of weeks.
The first one I want to share is one of the cards I made from the 'challenge bag'. Madonna had a brown paper bag full of challenges. We had to close our eyes and pick one out. Mine was to create a monochromatic card.
I may have pulled this stamp set out more than once on the weekend, but hey, I cannot help myself, I just love it. I did play with my stapler on this one, though, so there was something a little different. LOL! I also have to tell you that I did use the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch A LOT! I used it so much and I asked for it so often that everyone just started calling it the KB punch for short because I also kept forgetting the proper name for it. LOL!
Anyway, I hope you stick around for the next couple of weeks so I can show you all the things I made and that I can inspire you in some way.
Before I go I just have to share with you all a couple of pics of my ultra cute and too funny Nephew Tre.
One with his mummy
And one with my kiddies. He is seriously cute people.

We were in the Hot Springs High School class before the one that became famous. Our class didn't have a reunion at the White House, and we didn't get invited to the one that did.
We were in the Hot Springs High School class before the one that became famous. Our class didn't have a reunion at the White House, and we didn't get invited to the one that did.
But we got together again over the past weekend for what I called our Medicare-Social Security reunion. It has been a little more than 50 years since the Class of 1963 walked across the stage of the HSHS field house to accept our diplomas, and a few years ago we discovered that we liked getting together so much we'd schedule reunions every five years.
That field house is condemned now, and all of us still living — about 230 out of a class of 265 — are around the age of 68, which means eligible for Medicare and Social Security. During the past five years many of us, including me, have retired from full-time work. I counted 89 who are fully or partially retired.
Our class has not produced a president of the United States, and the chances of that happening are now slim. In fact, I'm not sure we even have a politician among us, which is not necessarily a bad thing. But most of us knew Billy Clinton, who was a junior and one of the boys in the band when we graduated. A few members of our class helped him become governor and then president.
Nevertheless, many members of the Class of '63 have been quite successful in important fields of endeavor. Among the class: two surgeons, a physician, a microbiologist, four architects, two building contractors, four engineers, a Navy commander, a major and a colonel in the Air Force, a Bronze Star recipient, a nuclear physicist, a circuit judge, several prominent business leaders, and a host of teachers and coaches.
After missing our 30-year reunion, I decided to get involved in the planning for whatever our class did in the future. I put my journalistic abilities to work trying to build a database for our class — to include contact information, family data, educational and military backgrounds, and career highlights. The contact information, of course, is critical to put on a reunion.
So I've had a chance to see how well my friends of many years have done and to appreciate what the good education we received in the Hot Springs school system did for us.
My choice for our class hero(ine) is Susan Ellis Goodrum, the daughter of a former Garland County sheriff who is battling cancer for the third time in seven years. She missed our banquet Saturday night because she was being honored for her work in helping other cancer victims.
And Susan, a retired teacher, is the perfect example for the message we heard Sunday morning. Because this was a special reunion, we extended it from the usual two days to four. We wrapped things up Sunday morning with a memorial service. The idea was to honor and remember the 36 classmates who are deceased. Susan was there and joked that she might be on the list next time.
With her spirit, faith and determination, I wouldn't take that bet. But none of us knows for sure when our time will come, and the older you get, the better you understand your own mortality.
That's why the memorial service message from Gwin (Sharp) Horton, one of our classmates, was so inspiring. An insurance agent and ordained minister who lives in Hot Springs, Gwin didn't dwell on the past but focused on what we make of our time.
She used an analogy from a tombstone, which customarily includes a person's date of birth and date of death, expressed as Jan. 1, 1945 — Oct. 1, 2013. It's the dash we should be concerned about, she said, because that represents the time we have to make a difference.
Her message should hit home for the members of our class and, for that matter, it should have meaning for other classes on either side of 1963.
Many members of my class have retired, and it's easy to think of retirement as going "out to pasture" — a time when you no longer have to be at a certain place at a certain time or complete specific tasks by a prescribed deadline. The temptation is to kick back and do nothing more than vegetate in front of the television set or just engage in long-neglected personal interests.
Every retired person should do some of that. It's wonderful to be free from the stresses of the workaday world.
However, Gwin's point is that we should also take advantage of the opportunity to get involved in something that helps other people while we still have the benefit of that "dash" period. That can be a charitable cause, a civic or service organization, community service, religious groups, professional or educational associations or foundations or just someone in need. The chance to make a difference remains.
Since retiring, I've tried to do a little more to help in several such causes since I now have more time. Susan's effort is far more remarkable. Even while taking chemotherapy, she's helping raise funds for a cancer support group to benefit others. May her "dash" — and that of others like her — be a long one.

Amy Schumer can find humor in any situation.
Take, for example, her current trip to Paris. After a few days of sightseeing with boyfriend Ben Hanisch the "Inside Amy Schumer" star found herself sick to her stomach Monday afternoon. Schumer first uploaded an Instagram video of herself eating soup, which also gave her followers a view of the Eiffel Tower in the background. "Trying to eat chicken broth post puke fest," Schumer, 35, wrote in the caption.
U.S. & World
Unfortunately, things only got worse from there. Later that night, she shared a picture of herself and Hanisch lying in bed, writing, "Thanks for everything Paris! Except the food poisoning. #nooooooooooo."
Eventually, Schumer had to be hospitalized. She posed for a series of silly pictures on a gurney and shared them via Instagram. "No red flags with this girl," she joked in the collage's caption.

To pass the time in the hospital, Schumer filmed a parody video for a dating website. "Hi. OK, this is my first time making one of these videos, but, you know, it's a new time. My name is Amy. I'm 35. I love just grabbing life by its horns and experiencing everything. I love music and food," she said. "I really just want someone to share all of that with. So, I'm taking a chance."
The video was presumably filmed by Hanisch, whom she's been dating since January 2016. The pair met through a dating app, as Schumer revealed in her memoir, "The Girl With the Lower Back Tattoo."
