Marathon. What does that word conjure up for you? An impossible task? A dream? Something that you want to get to some day? An accomplishment you are proud of?
This word took on a whole new meaning for our family last week-end. Christopher started running last December. He set the lofty goal of running a marathon this summer. He has run in 5ks and 10ks. He signed up for a half marathon, but wasn't able to run as he got sick the day before. Well, last week-end was the marathon. Did I mention that he chose to start with "one of America's toughest marathons"? He did.
The Grandfather Mountain Marathon was held on Saturday. We arrived at the ASU stadium in light rain at about 5:30am.
There were lots of people milling around, stretching, focusing, getting ready. The brisk, damp morning led way to a beautiful day.
The race started with a lap around the track.
Christopher was the youngest runner in the race! Most of the runners were in their 30s and up. We drove to one of the points that was a little over the half way point. As we were driving, I spotted Christopher on the Blue Ridge parkway ahead of us! We pulled over at one of the parks, got out some chairs and waited for him.
We cheered the runners as they passed and waited to see Christopher. We cheered loudly as we saw him approach.
Way to go Christopher!!!
As he ran by, his brothers ran along beside him for a short while to encourage him. Or maybe to tease him. You know how brothers can be!
We then drove to Grandfather Mountain to the finish line. The race was completed at the gathering of the Highland Games!
This was our first time attending. It's something I had hoped to do for years and we were blessed to get a great price on tickets due to being there to watch the race. I loved hearing the music, seeing the costumes and experiencing the culture. I also loved the appreciative crowd that cheered for every runner that finished the course!
While we were waiting, we talked with some of the people there. My boys loved learning about the clothing - and were very fascinated with the knives that most of the men had in their socks.
Mostly though, I just wanted to see my son. We waited and waited - not knowing when he would arrive. The runners came up the mountain and then entered through the circle of tents to get onto the track in the center. There was a constant cry whenever runners would approach so that people would clear the way so the runners had a path to the track.
I was surprised at the emotions I felt waiting for my son. My heart was full with pride for what my son was doing. I was also at times worried and wondered where he was and if he was alright. I often found myself fighting back tears. I reflect on the man he is becoming - one with purpose, goals and determination. And yet, he is still my "baby". I was elated when I spied him rounding the corner and heading up the last hill.
"Runner coming!" "Ropes up!" We cheered - as did many others as he approached the finish. And yes, I had tears of joy in my eyes.
He did a lap around the track and finished the race. 26.2 miles. Wow! He did it.
(I'm hoping the professional photographer got a better picture of the finish than I did. They moved the finish line and I didn't realize it until it was too late.)
I heard people doubt him. Doubt that he could finish. State that he had bitten off more than he could chew. I didn't believe that though as I know what he is made of - determined, dedicated and focused. He did it! I'm so very proud of him!!!
When he finished, we all had a lot of questions for him. He answered briefly, but really just needed time to rest.
While he rested, we went to get lunch. I met him back at the marathoner's tent. As I walked with him to meet the others, I asked him if he planned to do this again and he emphatically stated "No!". He also said that he was crossing the Ironman off his bucket list. A man overheard our conversation and said just give him a week and he'll want to try it again. We'll see. For now, he can relish in knowing that he set a goal and worked hard to achieve it. He is a marathoner!
We didn't spend much longer at the event. It is a large event with lots of neat things going on, but Christopher was ready to leave. (We were all pretty tired by that point - but nothing compared to him!) The tents around the track mainly belong to the various clans.
We did go by the Maxwell clan tent. This is my family's heritage. Joshua was especially thrilled to do this and to learn more about our clan. He is named for this clan and I think its great that he wants to learn more!
He also pressed Roger to find out about any Scottish heritage on his side. After a phone call home, he found the family name from his Dad's side too. He and Roger went back in the afternoon to spend more time there. He is hoping we can go back again next year.
Tonight, we celebrated his achievement with the "red plate". I also bought him a few things - a black cap and white magnet each with 26.2 on it.
Christopher, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you for desiring to try something new, for setting goals and having a training schedule to meet that goal. I'm proud of you for working hard and for finishing this race even when it got really hard! I'm proud of you for the man you are becoming and pray that as you run the race of life that you will continue to set goals and that you will run in a way that is honoring to God.
Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2
I love you!

text: Canadian Copyright Collective CPCC Demands a $160 Million Bailout Drew Wilson | June 14, 2018 It appears that Music Canada is not the only one calling on the Canadian government to hand them free money. The CPCC is also wanting a $160 Million bailout. It seems that there is a lot of corporate interests and groups wanting free money from the Canadian government. Last month, Music Canada (formerly the Canadian Recording Industry Association) called on the Canadian government to hand them free money. That demand was to the tune of $160 million over the course of four years. The industry alleges that it is all part of a plan to fairly compensate artists for their work because, clearly, selling music in a growing market place isn't enough. The demand was blasted by critics as "brazen". While many were critical of the demand, it seems that Music Canada is far from alone in demanding free bailout money. According to documents released under Access to Information, the Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) is also making a similar demand. They say that they are entitled to royalties for cell phones and other similar devices even though many consumers use them to listen to music through legal subscription services. According to the collective, legislating royalty payments at this stage would take too long. So, instead, they are demanding $40 million to be paid out to them over the next four years. That, of course, totals $160 million. Critics such as Michael Geist point out that there really isn't any information saying how they arrived at this conclusion: First, the industry argues that legislative reform will take too long, so rather than changing the law to apply to all smartphones and similar devices sold in Canada, it wants the government to pay what it believes would be the equivalent revenues directly out of tax revenues. Second, the source of the $40 million is revealed in the notes. The CPCC wants a copying payment for every device sold in Canada. It estimates that in Europe there is a per device copying fee of $3.50. In Canada, that would yield $40 million. The demand is striking for several reasons. First, private copying of music has gradually diminished as Canadians gravitate to subscription services such as Spotify or ad-based streaming services that remove the need for copying. The government memo notes that "a functional, fully-licensed music streaming marketplace reduces the practice of unlicensed copying by consumers." Second, the government also notes in the preparatory materials that private copying revenues are declining in many countries including Japan, Poland, and Portugal, which recognize the diminishing relevance of music copying in a subscription-based world. As I wrote in a piece on the broader music industry demands, the Canadian music market is growing much faster than the world average, with Canada jumping past Australia last year to become the sixth largest music market in the world. Music collective SOCAN, a coalition member, has seen Internet streaming revenues balloon from $3.4 million in 2013 to a record-setting $49.3 million in 2017. Yet despite the success stories, the CPCC and the broader music industry wants a $160 million handout based on the premise that every device sold in Canada should have a music copying fee attached to be paid by taxpayers. Organizations asking for bailout money in a period where the industry is experiencing growth is always going to be controversial. This is regardless of whether or not they are allegedly non-profit or unable to partake in the growth. Even factoring in the theory that the money doesn't necessarily just go into the organization, the money is at least heading to corporations at the receiving end of all this growth in the first place. So, from many different angles, the argument that the CPCC needs a bailout is going to be an extremely tough one to make in the first place. What is definitely unusual is all these organizations demanding bailout money in the first place. Yes, plenty of money gets funnelled through organizations related to music from the government, but we haven't really seen organizations like Music Canada or the CPCC just flat out asking for a massive bailout like this. If you take the viewpoint that an organization like the CPCC is basically a sunset collective, then you start looking at the idea of throwing good money after bad. Why bailout an organization that is destined to be swept into the dustbin of history? There's a lot about this that simply doesn't make sense from the outset. The question is, if both Music Canada and the CPCC are demanding bailouts, who else is anyway? Drew Wilson on Twitter: @icecube85 and Google+.

TWO IN THREE people living in Europe may be affected by weather-related disasters by the end of the century, according to a new study.
The research, published in the Lancet Planetary Health journal, estimates there will be a dramatic rise in the death toll from disasters such as heat waves and flooding in Europe – from 3,000 deaths each year between 1981-2010 to 152,000 a year between 2071-2100.
The study also looks at flood-prone areas and says there will be a 192% increase in the number of people living in coastal flood-prone areas in Ireland in the coming decades.
The researchers have urged the countries who have signed up to the Paris Agreement, an international accord hoping to combat the effects of climate change, to fulfil their obligations. The United States, the world's second biggest producer of greenhouse gases after China, plans to withdraw from the accord.
We want to know: Are you worried about climate change?

Beth Ditto Fan Art!
This is a drawing I finished up today as part of the roadmap zine I'm making for the campers of Rock'N'Roll Camp For Girls.
In the zine, it will be black instead of yellow, but I drew it in yellow because it just felt right. Now I am debating which quote from her to use to pair with the drawing.
I am wrapping up laying out the roadmap, debating banging out one more coloring page of a rad musician. I can't wait to try to put together a coloring book of more drawing one day (in the NEAR future) for rock camp.
We're going to be binding the zine for the campers of the first session at my house on Saturday (the first session begind next week). We're going to just be hole-punching and tying with colored twine (kind of like thishttp://www.pebblesandbuttons.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Tie-a-knot-or-a-bow.jpg), so it's very easy work. There will just be about 70 of them to do, so many hands will make the work quick!
If you've been looking for someway to help rock camp, this would be a great start! In addition to having a chance to help out rock camp, you can have a chance to meet other rad volunteers. Plus, you can check out the road map I made for campers, which will be including some rad art of musicians.
If you have something you'd like to donate to rock camp, gift cards, services, art, whatever, this would be a great time to drop a donation off. Remember, RNRC4G is a nonprofit and you will get a receipt for your tax-deductible donation. So, for example, if you're an artist, you get to set the value of what you've donated. Also, what's more awesome than giving your comics or your band's cd to young people?
We're also going to watch The Punk Singer (probably starting it at 3:00), because I have been wanting to see it and showing it during working on this seemed appropriate. ♥
Blue will provide some tasty snacks and beverages for this work part, but you're welcome to bring some too! If you want to come and you don't know where I live, you can message me for the address. Feel free to invite your rad friends!
Santigold Fan Art!
This is a drawing I finished up today as part of the roadmap zine I'm making for the campers of Rock'N'Roll Camp For Girls.
In the zine, it will be black instead of red, but I drew it in red because it just felt right. Now I am debating which quote from her to use to pair with the drawing.
Anyone have any suggestions for who should be on my short list to draw to finish out this zine with fun coloring pages?
What Do You Feel?
Dear friends! Most of you know that Marco, Matt, and I have been working on making a poly bio comic that we'll update weekly. It's a pretty big, multifaceted project, we will all contribute to the scripts and story ideas (well, our lives are the story ideas), Marco and I will also sometimes draw it, but Matt will be the main artist. We even plan on taking submissions for comics having to do with non monogamy to feature guest artists. The website for it is also going to be a place where we talk about our lives and our other projects.
ANYWAYS, we are torn between two names, so we'd like to ask all of you lovelies to give us your two cents….
If it helps, these are the two songs of inspiration for us…
Days of Love Sale!
Hey friends! Now that Matt has this new-fangled site, where all his work is collected in one place (designed by Matt and coded by Marco), he has opened up his Etsy store listing prints and offering commissions!!
To celebrate the new site and the love-based-holiday that is Valentine's Day, he's having a sale on commissions that's perfect for fulfilling your need for a card-sized piece of original art, either for a lover, a friend, or yourself! From now until February 14th, you can enter in the coupon code INFINITYLOVEPIZZA while checking out to get 33% off of your commission order in Matt's Etsy store!
He's offering ink drawings or ink drawing that are finished with water colors or digital coloring, so check out his Etsy commissions listings!
And, let me tell you, Matt's really been cooking up some rad, love-based illustrations recently…
A few months ago, some friends of ours who are in a triad relationship, were celebrating their love and commitment to each other with a formal commitment ceremony (somewhat like a wedding). They are also rather nerdy and passionate about their interests (two of them had been Disney villainesses for Halloween), so many geeky elements were part of their wedding's decor, including making their vows while wrapping a Tom Baker Doctor Who scarf around all their hands and having 20-sided die scattered on the tables. Matt made them an appropriately nerdy commitment ceremony gift…. An illustration of Disney villainesses playing D&D together!
For Christmas, he made our wonderful neighbors smaller, original-illustration cards featuring their furry, household loved ones…
Ambrose, the chihuahua…
Porter, the ball-obsessed yellow lab…
Danielle and Thor, cougar pug princess and her mighty pup companion…
Just a couple weeks ago, for a lovely friend's birthday (Cat Farris), he made an awesome illustration featuring the character of her webcomic, Flaccid Badger, with one of her beloved game characters from Mass Effect, Garrus…
So, as you can see, the dude is a talented artist for all your love-capturing needs. He's having this sale because he really enjoys having new stuff to draw and mash-up. So, whatever ignites the love within you this Valentine's Day, ask Matt to do a commission to bring your lovely imaginings into reality! Treat yourself or someone else you love. <3
Just visit his commissions listing in his Etsy store, then, during checkout, you can enter in the coupon code INFINITYLOVEPIZZA to get 33$% off of your commission order.
Turning 30, Living My Dreams!
For a couple years, I have been planning and brainstorming as to how I can support queer students in the after school program that I work for, waiting until I felt more secure of my position and my relationship with the director, before I straight up asked to facilitate a queer support group. I was thinking of facilitating something like a Gay Straight Alliance, but more spectrum inclusive, but then I learned the after school program had lost their Black Student Union teacher and therefore BSU, leaving a greater need within the after school program for support of marginalized students facing various kinds of discrimination and challenges. The idea I've come up with is a club called Youth Empowerment and Solidarity, or YES!
My plan for YES! is to do activities centered on strengthening student bonds and relationships, talk about constructive communication (especially non violent communication), talk about conflict resolution with peers and authority figures, discuss key vocabulary that will turn students on to verbalizing their struggles (ageism, homophobia, empowerment, solidarity, autonomy, consent, oppression, marginalization, racism, sexism, etc.), talk about media messages and the importance of dismantling them, talk about the importance of caring for yourself (physical and emotional) and how to care about others, have guests whose experiences will add to the conversations we'll be having in class (different community leaders and activists), talk to the students about local youth resources (Multnomah County Youth Commission, SMYRC, Portland Youth Summit, Youth Empowered Action, Rock 'N' Roll Camp for Girls, etc.), read/discuss parts of Stay Solid!, and address/talk about whatever else the students want or need to talk about. This is the poster I made for YES! to promote it within the school…
Since I was a preteen/teen living in poverty with an abusive and neglectful parent, struggling to get out of that environment and better my life, it's been a dream of mine to become a teacher and to have a positive impact on youth, but also to advocate for youth rights. I vowed I would grow up to be an adult that made a difference in the lives of young people. Back then, I thought I would become a biology teacher and just be present for my students. Over the years, I have switched gears a bit. I began to loath the structure of the public education system (as I watched it fail many of my peers and realized its oppressive and inherent flaws) and I fell away from wanting to study biology to become an educator, deciding to pursue my own creativity through comics and zines and wanting to teach kids those skills and more around independent publishing, seeking involvement and belonging in those communities… Which was a struggle, especially coming into the comics "community" in Portland in my early twenties, as the community was riddled with oppressive, power-hungry dudes that were incredibly misogynist (that special brand of nerdy misogyny with a lot of gate-keeping). But, I started doing indie comics workshops for kids and broadened to teaching general zine workshops for kids. As I had quickly become disillusioned by the comics community, I turned more towards zines, becoming a PZS organizer because that community felt safer, being facilitated by more women and having a Safer Spaces Policy (safer, but certainly not without it's own problems and crappy people, as I also learned over the years). Along the way, I made a lot of friends, zines, anthologies, and memories. Becoming well known as a zinester by volunteering in that community on so many levels and working with youth int hose communties lead me to be invited into schools to teach. Working with kids to make zines felt so right. Zines encourage literacy in a very engaging way and making their own media is very empowering to young folks. It also opens a dialog with youth as to how mainstream media fails them. Now, my path as a zine educator has helped me fulfill my goal of working with and empowering youth not only with teaching zines, but with other interests, like debate, games class, and social justice activism (my new group, YES!). After I do a couple terms of YES! where I currently teach, I'm hoping to bring it into other schools.
In case you don't know, I am about to turn 30 this month, so I have been doing a lot of reflecting as to where I am at and feeling really happy with my life and excited for everything in front of me (hence this post). I find myself accomplishing quite a few of some of my oldest goals and feeling like my heart and mind are going to explode.
Especially my heart. This year, for my annual Friendsgiving, I was hosting in my shared home with two amazing life partners. I have been living with my partners Matt and Marco since May and it's been a very transformative experience. There have been bumps (mainly Marco and myself have wrestled with some baggage from past bad relationships and our childhoods clashing a little bit), as with any relationship transition into deeper intimacy (the deeper intimacy brings out deeper demons), but I have honestly been amazed with Matt, Marco, and myself. We garden together, we're building a couch together, we laugh together, we cry together, we're planning comics together, we celebrate together, we chill out together. We also have separate spaces and times, we schedule date nights and alone nights, balancing our desires to be together with time for ourselves. They each have there own rooms that they share with me, but I'm also working on having my own (I'm lagging because I also have the smallest room and I just need to get rid of a lot of stuff before it's a functional space). When I kicked an abusive partner out of my house a few years ago, I vowed to myself that I wouldn't live with anyone again unless it was multiple partners, thinking that, if more than one partner wanted to cohabitate with me, we'd probably all be having pretty awesome relationships and they would probably be awesome people whose goals in life were compatible with mine. Both Matt and Marco are incredibly sweet, supportive, accountable, and motivated people. I find myself continually inspired by them both and feeling thankful for them both.
I have wanted to have deeper loves in my life for a long time, trying to have healthy relationships and practicing non monogamy (bent more towards polyamory) over the years with a lot of trial and error, but I finally feel I am sharing my life in meaningful way with not just one amazing partner, but two. We have shared space, shared goals, shared projects. It all has me feeling incredibly fulfilled and happy, my home is feeling like one of the safest and most wonderful places… It really feels like a home and Matt and Marco are my family. All with room for more.
So, with all this, I am going into my thirties. Considering where I've been and where I'm at, I think this may be the most amazing decade of my life. It took a lot of work to get here, but it's all been incredibly worthwhile.
Teaching is the best 4EVAR
Yesterday, I had my first day of Zines Class at the middle school I work at. I am so excited for this batch of potential new zinesters and I still have returning students, which always makes me feel so accomplished! This afternoon, I'm teaching Debate and then Puzzles and Games… I love life.
Have I shown y'all the posters that I've made for the classes I teach in order to boost enrollment? One features art from Katy Ellis O'Brien, another from Matthew Rainwater, but the Puzzles and Games poster is cheesy photo style, featuring images of girls playing games. The photos amounted to about 2 hours worth of googling, I'm hoping to subtly recruit more girls! Getting kids interested in SUN is really important to me, a lot of SUN classes make up for the lack of arts programs during the school day, as well as help the young people in the school have a constructive place to go with purpose (school work support, skill-building, community-developing) in the afternoons.
I am really excited about ANOTHER year teaching at the school I've already spent three years teaching within. I am also really happy to be put in charge of yet another class, Puzzles and Games. I had told the director of the SUN program I work for (who is a really amazing, hardworking lady, you wouldn't believe how much this woman juggles), that I was really interesting in teaching this more recreational class last year, so I am incredibly flattered and excited it's now on my plate!
I am hoping to teach a leadership class this year as well, where I can feature some material from Stay Solid!

I really like the darker backgrounds – the swimming-pool colour of some of them make the snow look a bit too wet. 🙂
I should get out there and try a few – and stop telling myself that I have another 3-4 months to do so!

Unbelievable! They are like soooo perfect! That last one especially.
And very much in-focus. Do you think they could use a bit of post processing sharpness though?

@dfrazer Good! I'm glad you're inspired! I'd love to see what you get, when you get the chance!
I really like the darker backgrounds – the swimming-pool colour of some of them make the snow look a bit too wet. 🙂
That's funny! I was kinda partial to the lighter backgrounds. I think the one with the dark background is the only one that looks like that. I'm not even sure what I did to make it darker like that. 🙂

Good idea! I'm out there every chance I get, because the weather conditions aren't always conducive to "pretty" snowflakes. And with the weather as warm as it is this year, I've only had one day that really made good snowflakes so far this winter.
Unbelievable! They are like soooo perfect! That last one especially.

Thanks @JamesStaddon! I think sharpening is my biggest hurdle in the post-processing stage of snowflake photography. I'm not extremely happy with Adobe Lightroom's sharpening capabilities. Of course we don't look at most images up close like we do for snowflakes, so it makes a difference. Also, the logistics of shooting at 1:1 + magnification make it a lot harder. It's harder to get the subject in focus, for one thing. Also, when stacking lenses, it tends to bring out the chromatic aberrations/fringing more, which in turn makes it harder to get nice sharp, "clean" results.
That said, these are greatly resized for web, which might have made them a little soft. I did apply some post-resize sharpening, but it may not have been enough. If you click on the photo attachment at the bottom of the post, then right-click on it and click "View Image" it will open it at it's full resolution. If you're interested in pixel peeping at the originals, I've posted quite a few of my snowflake images on Google+.January 15, 2016 at 5:18 pm #15205
Oh, and the blue background was simple. I just took a blue cooler lid, and set it about a foot and a half away underneath the pane of glass that I was photographing on. Very professional… 🙂January 15, 2016 at 6:52 pm #15207Joshua OngParticipant
Gorgeous snowflakes! It is amazing to see God's hand in His creation. Each snowflake was intricately designed by the awesome Creator to reflect His creativity. It's no wonder two snowflakes are never alike. How were you able to magnify the snow crystals? Did you use macro focus or a microscope? Living in a country where the winters are mild and wet, I appreciate the times I got to see snow in the past. The closest thing to snow we get over here in 'down under' is hailstones or frost.January 19, 2016 at 7:53 am #15215
Looking at those snowflakes up close makes me think of man-made, fancy patterns I use sometimes in design work, or elegant, Baroque-era styles used in European architecture . . . I wonder where man got his taste for beautiful, intricately designed things. 🙂 God is just so amazing!January 19, 2016 at 10:44 am #15219

I use a combination of extension tubes, lens stacking, and reversed lens techniques. (Actually, I'm using different lenses now, but the principle is the same.)
I've written on this forum about snowflakes last year: https://www.lenspiration.com/forums/topic/snowflakes/ and here: https://www.lenspiration.com/forums/topic/let-it-snow/January 22, 2016 at 8:40 pm #15584Joshua OngParticipant
Looks like a pretty impressive camera setup! Being unfamiliar with SLRs, I did not know you could stack so many lenses and extension tubes on your camera. I guess the more tubes and lenses you attach to your camera, the greater magnification you can obtain. What is the distance between your outermost lens and the snowflake?January 23, 2016 at 2:10 pm #15595
Being unfamiliar with SLRs, I did not know you could stack so many lenses and extension tubes on your camera
🙂 Well, most people never do, and even when they do, they don't usually stack and reverse so many at once! I go to such extremes to get as much magnification as necessary to fill the frame with the snowflakes. Unfortunately, sometimes it's too much magnification, if I get a big enough snowflake, it won't even fit in the frame! Here's one that just barely fit… (This photo wasn't cropped at all.)
And here's one that wouldn't fit no matter how I tried. If they would last long enough, I could probably remove some extension tubes to make it fit, but snowflakes lose their shape very quickly. In just a couple of minutes, they're gone.
I guess the more tubes and lenses you attach to your camera, the greater magnification you can obtain.
True, to a point. You have to be selective in which lenses you stack. I am currently using a 135mm f/2.8 lens (on extension tubes), and then reversing a 28mm f/2.8 lens in front of it. The 135mm with extension tubes gives me quite a bit of magnification by itself, but not enough. So I reverse a relatively wide-angle lens (28mm) in front of it, which greatly increases my magnification. The principle for reversing is simple: the wider the lens being reversed, the more magnification you will achieve. So a reversed 28mm lens will give you more magnification than a reversed 50mm lens. If you reverse a 100mm lens, you probably won't even gain any magnification!
What is the distance between your outermost lens and the snowflake?
With my current setup, the distance from the end of the lens to the snowflake is approximately 3.5 cm, or 1.25 inches.February 1, 2016 at 10:05 am #15671
EJM_8699-r.jpg is one impressive snowflake picture, @buddingphotographer! Snowflakes are so tiny that I hadn't ever thought about what they might look composed to include only parts of the snowflake. And in the center, it's like even more tiny snowflakes embedded smaller and smaller! Simply an incredible creation! That shot would make the perfect desktop background.
February 1, 2016 at 3:07 pm #15677
- This reply was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by James Staddon.
Thanks, @JamesStaddon! I agree that it would make a good desktop background, and I intend to do that once I get around to properly processing it. For some reason, I really like the composition of that one, like you said, they're already so small that it's kinda funny to think of good "composition" for photos of them.February 10, 2016 at 2:37 pm #15800
If anyone is interested in advanced snowflake post-processing, here's a little comparison to feast your eyes on.
The image on the right is a .jpg file from my Pentax K-5 IIs with additional sharpening in GIMP.
The image on the left is a stack of 9 .jpg files stacked and averaged with Registax, and then sharpened with the same method in GIMP.
(You might have to see it in full size to spot the difference.)
Someday I might write up a tutorial on how I post-process my snowflake images if anyone is interested…February 13, 2016 at 4:14 pm #15879
So are you focus stacking here?
It's sort of odd . . . when I click on the picture to view the full size version, it takes me to a Yahoo login page.
But I would like to see the full size version. It appears to me that image on the left has less grain, smoother background.
And yes, @buddingphotographer! I would love to see a little tutorial about it! You write it, and I'll post or link to it from my blog if you'd like!February 13, 2016 at 4:48 pm #15880
Sorry about that, I wonder if the viewing permissions were set wrong or something… I think it's fixed now. If you still can't see it, try this direct link: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1687/24943035735_5c26c1d797_o.png
No, the stacking is merely multiple identical shots aligned and stacked on top of each other, then averaged to reduce the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). It's not necessarily necessary for normal use, it was an experiment just to see how much of a difference it would actually make. Here's an article on Cambridge in Colour about the subject: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/image-averaging-noise.htm
I'll try to come up with a tutorial sometime in the not-too-distant future! 🙂

How do I get my mock orange bush to bloom?
I planted a mock orange bush 5 years ago and it has not bloomed at all. I was told to give it fertilizer, still didn't bloom. Was told not to cut it back and it would bloom; it didn't bloom. Was told to dig around it as if I was going to dig it up, to shock it; it still didn't bloom. It gets sun (east) all day long.
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
What variety of mock orange do you have? Is it 'Minnesota Snowflake'? (Philadephus x 'Minnesota Snowflake')? I have read that this particular variety doesn't flower well at all.
Also - any signs of an insect infestation? Insects can affect blooming.
Does your Mock Orange receive consistent moisture?
Perhaps a regular watering schedule would entice this plant to blossom for you.
Here is a link to review proper care and growing requirements.

The 11 most common mistakes startups make, and how to avoid them
The myth of the genius founder is rife in the technology sector. However, anyone that has seen David Fincher's The Social Network can tell you that even the very biggest and brightest tech startups will make mistakes.
Tech startups are generally run by smart, young people that have a great idea but no experience of running a company. Recruitment, management, finance and legal issues can all be problems for entrepreneurs that don't learn from their mistakes quickly.
Here are just some of the mistakes that startups have made, from powerhouses like Uber, Tinder and Slack to fast-growing companies like Settled, Saberr and Laundrapp, and hopefully some advice on how to avoid them.

Can You Tell The Difference Between PewDiePie And This Stock Photo Model?
7 June 2016, 15:48 | Updated: 17 July 2017, 12:16
Our minds are officially blown right now.
So, as someone who literally lives on the Internet, I've come across some things in my time that have well and truly messed me up. From the copper ball that burns through fruit to a little girl who went to a party dressed as a hot dog, I thought there was nothing left in the world that could make me scream "WTF" and throw my computer out the nearest window. But that was before I found this ridiculously attractive stock photo model who looks IDENTICAL to PewDiePie...
Honestly, this is going to change everything you once knew. I found a stock model who looks SO MUCH like Felix it makes me want to weep. From the beard, to the sunglasses and even right down to his choice in fashion, you're about to meet Pewds' doppelgänger... so we've formed a little quiz. Can you tell the different between Felix and this ridiculously attractive stock photo model?! Good luck, and let us know how trippy this was in the comments.

OUR PRODUCT: THE ESPRYX™ production process
Innovative, flexible, automated, and mass-scalable process to produce TEG and TEC/Peltier modules
The state-of-the-art manufacturing of TEG and TEC/Peltier modules relies on manual assembly of a multitude of individual TE legs.
Our production process allows the production of TEG and TEC/Peltier modules in a fully automated industrially scalable process.
The process enables the simultaneous production of all legs of a TEG/TEC within a mechanically robust, thermally and electrically insulating carrier material. The first generation of modules has used the well-established thermoelectric material bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) with its high Seebeck coefficient and good temperature stability as the active material. The process also permits the use of new innovative materials with superior properties that are under development.

Research InterestsIn order to reduce the earth-warming gas (CO2) from conventional fire power plants, the energy conversion with high performance solar cells is one of the feasible solution. In our project, ultra-high efficiency solar cells are the target of research and development. The multi-junction solar cells consisting of III-V compound semiconductors will be achieve 50% energy conversion efficiency. The most important factor for realising an ultra-high efficiency is the quality of semiconductor crystal. We are working on the metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method for novel growth technique including a construction of nano-structure. Not only the multi-junction solar cells, but also the nano-structural semiconductor is promised as a candidate of the new-generation solar cell such as an intermediate-band solar cell or a hot-carrier solar cell. They are new concept solar cells used novel physical processes for energy conversion from light to electricity. On the other hand, the low-cost production technology is also important issue for application. We focus on the optical management technology in very thin film solar cell with light trapping and luminescent coupling effect. By reducing the cell thickness drastically, improved material consumption and production speed can contribute to production cost.

Water Damage Tips
As the weather warms up today after the severe cold snap that came through Lynchburg, there will no doubt be many pipes that were once frozen that will now flow freely into walls, under floors and all through houses.
Some water damage will be subtle, just a pin hole that sprays water slowly down a wall and under the floor. The evidence of the damage may not reveal itself for days to come.
Other water damage will be obvious, and water will gush until the valve behind it is turned off.
Regardless, here are some tips to prevent damage from getting any worse than it already is, and to keep you and your family safe.
- Ensure it is safe to enter the damaged area, turn off breakers/power source if necessary
- Shut off water source if possible
- Remove as much water as possible using a wet-dry vacuum or by mopping and blotting
- Wipe furniture to remove excess water
- Place furniture on blocks or on aluminum foil
- Remove wet contents, clothes rugs, etc from the area so they can be cleaned and dried
- DO NOT Use your household vacuum to remove excess water
- DO NOT use the electrical appliance while standing on wet flooring or carpet
- DO NOT Go into any room where the ceiling is sagging
Feel free to call SteamWay Restoration if you have water damage. We are a full service water damage remediation company, and can handle the damage from start to finish. 434-845-2636

Bissell has been producing carpet cleaning products since the late 1800s. That's a long time to perfect features and come up with new concepts like the one behind the Versus vacuum cleaner. This unique creation by Bissell offers consumers a new take on the standard bare floor cleaner. The Bissell Versus vacuum includes a 12 AMP motor and bagless design for better convenience when cleaning smooth flooring and low pile carpets. Bagless also means less money is needed to maintain the Versus.
What makes the Versus so unique is the V shaped base. The shape is intended to get into corners and run right along walls for a more precise clean. It also directs a majority of large debris into the center of the V where it is sucked up while finer particles are collected by the arm extensions. The unit offers a 13 inch wide cleaning path and is equipped with a pre motor filter and one year manufacturer warranty.
Additional features include a stretch hose and narrow crevice tool. The vacuum head is also designed to pivot left and right so consumers can easily work around furniture and into every nook and cranny of a room. The V shape is a great choice for many households, especially those with numerous obstacles in each room.
What did customers who bought Bissell's Versus bare floor vacuum cleaner like?
- The initial assembly of the Bissell Versus is very simple and takes almost no time at all.
- The overall design of the Versus is very lightweight and compact. Anyone can easily lift or maneuver the unit throughout their home or carry it to different floors with ease.
- Pet hair, leaves and other large debris was easily collected by the Versus, leaving floors tidy and debris-free.
- The bagless design eliminates the need to purchase bags and makes it even easier to maintain the Versus.
What did Bissell's Versus bare floor vacuum cleaner customers dislike?
- Some consumers found that while using the Versus in homes with pets, fur and dander was stuck in the arms and did not get sucked into the vacuum like it should have.
- The power cord included with the Versus was rather short which requires more plugging and unplugging and can prolong the time needed to finish vacuuming.
- Crumbs and other debris can sometimes clog openings in the V shaped head and cause the unit to eject them back onto the floors, sometimes at a great distance.

Football Legend
Self-styled, very much self-stylish, and scandalously glossy-cape-porting Caliph Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi has made thinking about football, dreaming about football, or otherwise being remotely aware of the historical existence of football, an unforgivable and inexcusable hate crime against The Greater Good.
Back of the Old Onion Swag
And on a completely unrelated note to the latter tyrannical and highly bureaucratic measure, the UK Government have passed a new benevolently-Tory-paternalistic motion.
Any schools and universities where students underperform in sports or PE will be immediately defunded.
But not eliminated.
Well, I did say 'benevolent' Tory paternalism, didn't I? 😉
Furthermore, any military regiments where the activities in the ever-shrinking sports break component of training time are not of a truly international standard, will be forced to seek a suitable sponsor…
From a reasonably impartial list of 'purely recommended and in no way whatsoever compulsory' list of business corporations.
All the foregoing measures, as always, are purely in order to ensure a competitive and viable educational/military environment, in accordance with:
A consummately non-arbitrary selection of purely objective and value-neutral economically-scientific criteria.
Sorry, the latter meaningless sentence was a bit repetitious and reminiscent of an earlier passage in instalment one of this article. But then, it's not me who keeps harping on this stuff, is it? 😛
Well, perhaps history repeats itself once more…

The FLO-1-1 with Slim & Nina
The FLO-1-1
Cardi B is ready to give birth any day now. While she's taking it easy getting ready for motherhood, she made sure to get all her hard work in before she grew too big to move. Cardi B's music video for "I Like It" with Bad Bunny & J Balvin was released last week and I gotta say…I Like it!! I love the fact she is not afraid to be sexy and pregnant.
Watch her video below!!
Check out this video of a crawfish determined to live!!! He touched that boiling water and said "NOPE!!!" Our superhero!
You know about the Pusha T/Drake Drama, right? Well, Rap-A-Lot Records CEO, James Prince tells us Kanye West is the lucky one Drake didn't release his response to Pusha T's diss track. J Prince told Drake to stand down after hearing what his response was gonna be. He said it would have "ended" Kanye, and caused a lot of pain. He insists they're not in the business of destroying families … which is why he told Drizzy to stand down.
Kanye has responded to the entire thing BEFORE Drake had the chance to respond in a tweet saying: "I've never been about beef I'm about love lines were crossed and it's not good for anyone so this is dead now"
Kanye West is speaking out for the first time since his controversial comment surrounding slavery in early May. His reasoning? Mental illness made him say it.
In early May, Kanye upset most of his fans after he showed support for Donald Trump and claimed that slavery was a choice for Blacks.
Speaking with Big Boy TV, the 40-year-old Kanye said he was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder when he was 39. He says that disorder was the cause of his now infamous TMZ rant.
Put this in the category of "UUUUGGGGHHHHHHH!!!"
Chris Brown has followed Rihanna on social media AGAIN!! The rumor is that Rihanna is too busy for her billionaire boyfriend with all her projects she has going on. Her lingere line, reggae album, makeup line…. and so she is a single lady.
Naturally, her ex Chris Brown is trying to hit her up! He started following her on socials again after the breakup rumors started. Chris Brown betta stay BACK!!
Ice Cube says Drakes career on top is over!! Ice Cube recently said in an interview in the world of Hip Hop you only have 3 good years on top. He think's it's over for Drake. While this may be true, Drake has already had TEN good years in Hip Hop since his 2008 hit "Best I Ever Had"
ABC cancelled the show Roseanne last week after Roseanne Barr sent out a racially powered tweet. But now ABC is saying they may reboot the show and an announcement may come as early as this week.
Sources say the show will be re-focused on Sarah Gilbert's character "Darlene". John Goodman is down for the cause as well as most of the cast and crew. But one question remains, will Rosanne still get a chunk of the cash. She is also an executive producer of the show so the network may be contractually bound to pay her a fee or back end or both for her participation in creating the show. ABC may argue this is a totally different show to get out of it. We will have to see what happens.
