The Air Force aims to beef up air defence this decade with a mix of at least 15 large and small surveillance aircraft — or air-borne warning systems — Chief of Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Normal Anil Kumar Browne said here on Thursday.
An ambitious AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) India project to have more powerful surveillance systems on long-range aircraft is awaiting government's approval, he said.
While the IAF already has three Russian-Israeli AWACS to keep vigil over the borders (it may top them up with two more), it is open to having new aircraft for the remaining AWACS, Air Chief Marshal Browne indicated at a news conference related to the indigenous and smaller Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AEW&CS) surveillance programme.
"AWACS India project deals with much larger sized aircraft, incorporating some technologies like the phased array radars. We are in the process of identifying the platform [the aircraft] we are going to have for the future," he said.
The present AWACS has an Israeli Phalcon radar system mounted on the Russian Ilyushin (IL-76) aircraft. The overall plan was to supplement them with ten smaller versions, or AEW&CS, in the next seven years, he said.
The Air Chief was speaking after an event to mark the arrival of the first of three modified Brazilian Embraer EMB 145 aircraft that will be fitted with the AEW&CS developed by the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO).
'Cynosure of the world'
Dr. V.K.Saraswat, DRDO Director-General and Scientific Adviser to the Defence Minister, said the success of the AEW&CS would boost IAF's confidence in the development of AWACS India system, which he said was in the final stages of clearance.
The Rs 2157-crore AEW&CS project involving three Embraer aircraft was contracted in August 2008. The first aircraft arrived in Bangalore on July 22. The second plane is due in December this year and the third next year. Post-trials, the three would be put into service. The challenge before the DRDO was to integrate its system with the aircraft, he said.
"By 2014, when we fully operationalise the three aircraft and they join IAF in an operational role, they will be the cynosure of the world." The amount of work done on the aircraft and the elements put on it are unique," he said.
The radar pictures and data from the aircraft would be transferred to the Air Force Network as part of the Integrated Air Command & Control System. "The AEW&CS will expand the air defence and networking environment of the Air Force. The IAF is keenly looking forward to its joining our principal fleets. We have identified where it will be based and what its role will be," he said.
Some of the indigenous technologies from the AEW&CS would be adapted for the AWACS.

After being spotted in some leaked image just a couple of days ago, the Honda S660 is ending up in our news again, this time through a video, which is showcasing the model on a track in Japan. That would be perhaps a review of some Japanese journalists, who wanted to find out more about the model.
The small city car Honda S660 is actually the remake of the same concept model previewed some time ago and it was previously believed to replace the S2000 model. But the car has nothing in common with this particular model, as it will come with mid-mounted engine and a manual soft top.
Little it is known about the model, but some insiders have managed to "pick-up" some information concerning its powertrain, which is considered to be quite innovative and without any present threat from other automakers.
We are talking about a 660cc-unit with three cylinders being fitted under the hood, enough to deliver a reasonable 64 horsepower and 104 Nm of torque. Rumors also have it that a higher 1.0-liter turbo might be also fitted on other markets all over the world. But so far, this is all we have got on this lovely and interesting Honda S660 roadster.

Heroes Clash On New Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice Quad Posters
Following that incredible final trailer and IMAX poster from earlier today, Warner Bros. UK has released these very nice new banners for Zack Snyder's Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice, giving us a look at the "battle for the ages" from each character's perspective.
Like most of the recent marketing for this movie, the posters feature both DC icons looking more than ready to begin tearing lumps out of each other. It's worth noting that the Dark Knight is not in his anti-Superman body armor here, so in theory, one punch from the Man of Steel would take his head clean off – but it's all in the interests of promotion, of course.
Speaking of which, we've been seeing quite a bit from this flick in the buildup to its release late next month, but – the Doomsday reveal aside – Snyder and co. have managed to save quite a few surprises for the theater, including the much-discussed big screen debuts of Aquaman and The Flash.
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice is set for release on March 25th.

Battery transport optimization by a Vehicle Manufacturer in Thailand (Assumption University Press, 2016)
This study is about battery transportation by a Vehicle Manufacturer that was found to have inefficient space utilization in the truck container. This problem negatively affected the company's profit and opportunity. Therefore, the use of GRASP (Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure) is proposed to minimize the problem substantially. In this research, a Vehicle Manufacturer focuses on its battery exports, which are transported by commercial vehicles. Data was collected by interviewing personnel, observing actual operations, and analyzing ...
Using DMAIC to improve an in-store delivery service (Assumption University Press, 2016)

Old Ladies
At ninety-four, the only real color left is in her eyes. But if the pasty skin bleached by too much sun and too much rain is the backdrop, the contrast only emphasizes the blue. Like azure gauze, her eyes barely veil the fabric of her soul: frayed cotton aprons, fleecy babies, and denim children playing under calico on the clothesline; the chiffon of romance and the crepe of special days; linen Sundays and nights of flannel and silk. Altogether she is a blend of such real color and authentic texture, that beside her the young appear drab and the unfeminine threadbare.
Muse with me: How have the lives of older women affected you? Do you ever imagine what you will be like as a very old woman?
What did you think of this musing?
I am a home teacher to an 85-year-old that more than resembles this verbal portrait. She is frail, yet feisty. The graceful crumbling of her mortal coil belies the quickness of her intellect. She recalls the past with spirit and exactness, yet can't recall from visit to visit which stories have already been told and which are new to her audience, yet each telling is still enthralling, just as watching a classic film never gets old.
The dedication of her son, who acts as her full-time home care speaks of the love-bond earned by this mother by her own. She spends her twilight home-bound years researching her ancestors and submitting their names for saving ordinances by proxies in LDS temples. Several of her children have preceeded her through the veil as well. Their lives are living fulfillment of the "hearts of the children being turned to their fathers."
Her life and words are a constant inspiration to me and all that as so fortunate to visit with her.
Older women have always been examples to me. I've loved those from my family, and I've respected–as they all deserve–the ones I've met at church. Seeing them, I often wonder what age will be like for me. I sometimes joke about how I've been falling apart since the day I was born, but the health issues I face as only a very young woman make me worry how old age might be. On bad days, I fear I'll never reach old age. So I guess what I learn the most from these women is how I want to be like them now: where most of them are content with what their lives have been and face their futures–no matter how long or short to come–with peace and without fear.
From our beginning, Morgan and I have admired older couples climbing hills to the temple. We talk about how we want to totter up to the temple, leaning on each other as we have seen many couples do. There are a number of old people in my life and I wonder how hard it must be to grow old and not feel like people see you.
Again Mona, such beautiful imagery! I saw these things in an "old rose" from my garden last summer! I have always loved the beautiful "old" faces of temple workers—they have such wisdom and depth! Funny—even as a child, I was never afraid to grow old. Even then, I thought women who tried to appear younger by dying their hair, or dressing like teeny boppers only managed to look garish! When I tell my daughters I want to grow old gracefully, they moan! But I do!
This is becoming a favorite subject of mine, especially since I've started working in a Senior Living Community. I have had many sweet and tender learning experiences with the older ladies I serve each day of work. They have an abundance of wisdom they pour out to me with all their words. I long to soak up every last drop and learn from them. The other day, my friend and I were talking about the symbolism of white hair and how growing old is a wonderful gift from God. As much as I love my red hair, I can't wait to be a white-haired grandma!
I don't have to imagine what I'll look like at 90, I'm the spitting image of my grandma Shipley who was 93 when she died. I lived with her for 10 years; from age 12-22 and our dispositions are even the same. She attended the temple every Thursday, volunteered at the Veterans Hospital every Wed for 8 hours. She was faithful in the gospel, did her visiting teaching EVERY month…a wonderful example to me.
I often feel more connected to the "old ladies" in my ward than I do to the younger ones. They are so affirming of anything I do, so encouraging. I dropped in on one of my favorites a few weeks back with just my baby in tow, and left feeling so refreshed, as if I had a drink of cool water that was long overdue. Maybe it was her ability to be still, in contrast with my almost complete inability to be still. I haven't thought much of myself as an old lady, but I definitely don't worry about it either.
I remember when I was first married and later had a newborn baby and moved into a new ward…the Sunday School teacher was SO OLD… then I went to RS and the same thing…I just wanted to go back to my old ward…but luckly I stayed and learned these ladies were not old in their hearts and I soon learned to love and appreciate them and was saddened that so quickly they left this world- today I tearfully look back at these special ladies and am thankful for the things they taught me. Wishing I had been around longer to learn more. But learning a very valuable lesson about books and covers the same as for spirits and skins…
Mona- thank you so much for taking the time to share your heart and soul with all for us…I love to hear the Muse musing .
So beautifully written and described. I am in the rare situation of having all of my grandparents, on both sides still living. I love to be able to call them up and hear their sweet voices, the way my grandma Kohler so lovingly says "Heidi Dawn" each time she sees me, her rose petal soft skin that brushes against me as I bend down to give her a hug.
My cool cat grandpa Kohler, who has an indescribable connection to his great grandson. It's as if he's waking up from a sleep as I watch him play with my toddler.
Grandma Cannon. My little pixie grandma who is always so eager and interested in everything happening in my life.
And my beloved grandpa Cannon who lovingly calls me "Heidibabe" He is my Merlin, and I am his Arthur. How very blessed I am. I never want them to go away.

By Bill Johnstone of D.A. Davidson and Larry Simkins of the Washington Companies
In May 2013, Governor Bullock announced the creation of the Main Street Montana Project and asked us to serve as co-chairs. In seeking our involvement, the Governor underscored his commitment that the project would:
The Governor has been true to his word, and our work and this report have been undertaken and developed in that spirit.
Any project to craft a state economic development blueprint should be undertaken with considerable humility, particularly for a state as large and diverse as Montana. State economies are complex, significantly influenced by factors beyond our borders and control, and constantly changing. And, of course, we are not starting from a clean slate. Montana has extraordinary economic resources and strengths, including its citizens. It also faces certain weaknesses and challenges, some of which are inherent and need to be honestly acknowledged and realistically addressed.
Importantly, the Main Street Montana Project and this report must be seen as a living and dynamic initiative and document. Circumstances will change, and new ideas will surface as this project moves forward. We understand that the cost and availability of health care is a significant factor in economic and employment growth and will be the subject of continuing public policy discussion in the state. As this discussion evolves, we expect that more objectives and tasks related to health and wellness will be identified and included in the project. As it has been formulated, however, we believe the project and report have established a philosophy and framework that will endure over time and help the state and our regions build and maintain a climate in which business and workers can succeed in a thriving economy.

ATV club uncovers rural dump sites in Coldstream
by Richard Rolke – Vernon Morning Star
Posted Oct 9, 2016 at 8:00 AM
A section of the bush is a little cleaner thanks to some dedicated volunteers.
Members of the Vernon ATV Club recently tackled garbage along the King Edward Forest Road, from Highway 6 to the King Edward Lake, Bear Lake and Kaiser Bill Lake recreation sites.
"It's disappointing and surprising the lengths people will drive into the bush to dump," said Clint Ingham, club president
The amount of trash collected weighed 2,800 pounds and filled five trucks.
Items included mattresses, TVs, household waste, construction material, furniture, exercise machines, bottles, cans, a burned travel trailer and hundreds of shotgun shells.
There is a concern that household waste could attract wildlife, while metal and other sharp pieces could pose a risk to recreational users and livestock.
"A cow could get cut up on it," said Ingham, adding there is no need for illegal dumping.
"When I go to the landfill, I always find it affordable."
Anyone who comes across illegal dumping can call the Report all Poachers and Polluters hotline at 1-877-952-7277 or #7277 on the Telus network.
Happy Thanksgiving Ride
After the downpour on Saturday who would have predicted the amazing day that Sunday turned out to be? A great day riding the trails around Becker Lake plus a GPS exercise, finding the 10 hidden coordinates that contained some Thanksgiving treats. All were found, great work guys!
An awesome first ride in the RZR for Jason and Caleb, the thumbs says it all.
10:00am – Sunday October 9 at Noble Canyon
There will be a short ride starting from the bottom of Noble Canyon at 10:00am Sunday, October 9 with the goal of being back down at the bottom by 3:00pm.
Bring your GPS and find the hidden turkeys along the ride, GPS coordinates will be provided by you have to figure out where they're hiding.
Unload beyond the first cattleguard (400m after turning off the highway) then park alongside the paved portion of Noble Canyon Road leaving room for the driveways.
This ride will take us on the Becker Lake side of Noble Canyon to explore the trails, puddles and take in the views over the valley. Bring your usual gear including GPS, camera, lunch, appropriate clothing, repair and safety supplies. This ride would be a Green/Blue ride on our rating system as it is a combination of FSR, secondary roads and trails.
The GPS talk didn't happen on the last ride so bring your questions to this ride!

Facebook is a great way to keep in touch with your friends and family, your classmates, co-workers, and your people on your campus. But there are people that look over your Facebook profile and that might affect employment, your criminal record, etc.
1Go easy on the apps. Facebook is a site to keep in touch with your friends, not to fool around with Farmville all day. They may be tempting and addicting, but don't add too many, because they will be just a nuisance when it comes to notifications.
2Watch your status - try not to put everything you do in there. If there is something you want your friends to hear or something cool happened, put it there. For example, Braves won 7-2 sounds better than I am taking a nap. Also, don't cram your news feed with app junk, unless it is something cool you would like to show all your friends. Try to keep your interests to more hobbies or stuff you want to talk about with other, not random things to get tags.
3Don't overdo your interests - having 20 million bands on your music interests list shows that you have too much time on your hands. Just narrow it down to your all time favorite bands or whatever, or a certain genres. It is Favorite whatever, not everything you like.
4Don't overdo the quotes - if you have something your friends said or you said that was witty, put it down, but if you have too many, you may be seen as a gossip.
5Be honest on your political views. Keep it blank unless you are a confirmed member of a church or whatever or if you are registered to a certain political party.
6Never give out your full birthday. This could be used for identify theft.
7Be honest on your relationship status - Do not say if you are In A Relationship unless you have a boyfriend/girlfriend and don't say you are married unless you have a certified marriage license. It's Complicated should not be used for crushes.
8Be careful on contact information and privacy - people you don't desire could find you.
9Do not post kegger or weed pictures - that is a dumb idea and that might affect employment and your criminal record. The best pictures are a picture with your best friend or alone doing a hobby of your choice.Advertisement
Community Q&A
QuestionWhat posts should be on the profile?Emmaleigh BrooksCommunity AnswerIf you go somewhere exciting (vacation, amusement park, etc.), it's OK to post a few pics. Funny things you see or hear are OK, too! Just think: would this make me smile if it weren't my post?

EA-03-053 - Nine Mile Point 1 (Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC)
May 23, 2003
Mr. John T. Conway
Vice President Nine Mile Point
Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC
P.O. Box 63
Lycoming, NY 13093
Dear Mr. Conway:
The purpose of this letter is to provide you with the final results of our significance determination of the preliminary white finding identified in the subject inspection report dated April 15, 2003. This inspection finding was assessed using the significance determination process and was preliminarily characterized as white, i.e., a finding with low to moderate importance to safety, which may require additional NRC inspections. This white finding involved a failure to identify the cause, and to take appropriate corrective actions, to preclude repetitive leaks over the past several years in the Unit 1 reactor building closed loop cooling (RBCLC) system because of significantly degraded piping. As a result of this performance deficiency, degradation of certain sections of RBCLC piping continued until mid-December 2002, at which time you determined the cause and extent of condition of this significant condition adverse to quality, and implemented appropriate corrective actions to prevent repetition.
In a telephone conversation with Mr. James Trapp of NRC, Region I, on April 29, 2003, Ms. Denise Wolniak of your staff indicated that Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, did not contest the characterization of the risk significance of this finding, declined an opportunity to discuss this finding in a Regulatory Conference and would not be providing a written response prior to issuance of this Final Significance Determination.
After considering the information developed during the inspection, the NRC has concluded that the inspection finding is appropriately characterized as white, i.e., a finding with low to moderate importance to safety, which may require additional NRC inspections.
You have 30 calendar days from the date of this letter to appeal the staff's determination of significance for the identified white finding. Such appeals will be considered to have merit only if they meet the criteria given in NRC inspection Manual Chapter 0609, Attachment 2.
The NRC has also determined that this failure to identify the cause, and to take appropriate corrective actions, to preclude repetitive leaks in the Unit 1 RBCLC system is a violation of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, as cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation (Notice). The circumstances surrounding the violation were described in detail in the subject inspection report. In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, NUREG-1600, the Notice of Violation is considered escalated enforcement action because it is associated with a white finding. You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.
Because plant performance for this finding has been determined to be in the regulatory response band, we will use the NRC Action Matrix to determine the most appropriate NRC response for this event. We will notify you by separate correspondence of that determination.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS). ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at the Public NRC Library.
If you have any questions please contact Mr. James Trapp of my staff at 610-337-5186.

|Docket No. 50-220
License No.: DPR-63
During an NRC inspection conducted between February 10, 2003 - March 7, 2003, the results of which were discussed at an exit meeting on March 7, 2003, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violation is listed below:
Title 10 to CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, "Corrective Action," requires, in part, that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected. In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.
Contrary to the above, when significant conditions adverse to quality occurred involving degraded reactor building closed loop cooling (RBCLC) system piping, the licensee did not determine the cause of the condition and failed to take appropriate corrective actions to preclude repetition. Specifically, the cause of substantial leaks in the Unit 1 RBCLC system on December 5, 2002, and on May 15, 2002, and numerous leaks prior to May 2002, was not determined, and as a result, corrective actions that were implemented at those times were not effective in precluding repetitive leaks. It was not until another substantial leak occurred on December 12, 2002, that the licensee determined the cause of this significant condition adverse to quality to be notable and widespread wall thinning attributed to a combination of general corrosion, flow-assisted corrosion, and galvanic corrosion, and implemented appropriate corrective actions to preclude repetition.
This violation is associated with a White Significance Determination Process finding.
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region I, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation - EA-03-053" and should include for the violation: (1) the reason for the violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
If you contest this enforcement action, you should also provide a copy of your response, with the basis for your denial, to the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
Because your response will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the Publicly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be made available to the public without redaction. ADAMS is accessible from the NRC Web site at the Public NRC Library. If personal privacy or proprietary information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request withholding of such material, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the bases for your claim of withholding (e.g., explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information). If safeguards information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, please provide the level of protection described in 10 CFR 73.21.
In accordance with 10 CFR 19.11, you may be required to post this Notice within two working days.
Dated this 23rd day of May 2003

Peruvian Hair
Peruvian hair, originating from Peru in South America, is currently one of the best quality hair types on the market, as it is the finest and most beautiful hair you can be sure to invest in. The hair is in its natural state without being chemically processed, very soft, feather light and luxurious. As the hair is lightweight, it is much sleeker in texture than Indian or Brazilian hair. Since Peruvian hair is quite difficult to source, it tends to be more expensive than other hair types on the market.
PLEASE NOTE: All prices are per 1 packet/bundle of 100 grams of hair.

Good Shepherd Center
- Address:
- 4649 Sunnyside Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98103, United States
- Date Built:
- 1906
- Original Architect /
- C. Alfred Breitung
- Original Owners:
- Sisters of the Good Shepherd
- Description:
- Fine example of the Italianate style
embellished with Corinthian capitals and
elaborate stone work.
Historic Seattle's Role:
After providing over 60 years of service to young women seeking shelter, education, and training, declining numbers of residents forced the Home of the Good Shepherd to close in 1973. After the Wallingford community defeated a proposal to turn the 11-acre site into a shopping center, the City of Seattle bought the property in 1975 with Forward Thrust and Federal Revenue Sharing funds and then transferred the buildings to Historic Seattle for use as a multi-purpose community center. The property is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and was designated a Seattle Landmark in 1984.
Current and Future Uses:
The property is owned and operated by Historic Seattle and the center currently houses nonprofit organizations and schools including the Meridian School, Neo Art School, the Wallingford Senior Center, the Alliance Française, and Seattle Tilth.
Historic Seattle added six live/work units for artists in early 2002. Ranging in size from 580 to 650 sq. feet, the artist studios are located in a space once used for the school's dance classes and costume storage. The artist residents are a diverse group and bring much creativity and enthusiasm to the Good Shepherd Center community.
Historic Seattle also completed a small performance and rehearsal space (The Chapel Space) with a seating capacity of 100-150 in the former fourth floor chapel. Accessible by elevator, this beautiful, two-story space features wooden floors, columns, and stained glass.
Historic Seattle partnered with NonSequitur, a music production non-profit, who not only stages twelve of their own performances per month, but serves as booking agent for other community events and performances in the Chapel.

Children, Teens, and Screen Time
In 2010, Steve Jobs, the late founder of Apple, told New York Times reporter Nick Bilton that he and his wife "limit how much technology our kids use at home"; in fact, his children hadn't even used Apple's then-new iPad, Bilton noted in a recent article.
In contrast to this revelation, data on media use among American children and teens, released by the Kaiser Family Foundation in 2010, reveals a very different story:

It's day three of DIY Christmas ornament week. In case you missed yesterday's fabric & ribbon wrapped recycled ornaments, here they are. Today I'm sharing with you an easy little snowflake ornament made of pipe cleaners and beads. This is a fantastic kid's craft and we're going to make some for Little A's Frozen birthday party coming up this weekend!
These ornaments are really straight forward to make. I found the idea here. (The link to the original site doesn't work, but they were easy enough to figure out).
I cut some silver pipe cleaners in half, and then I twisted three together in the center to make a snowflake shape. Then, my daughters strung plastic pony beads on each side. Finally, I turned over about a 1/2″ of the end to keep the beads in place.
We tied a velvet ribbon to one of the folded ends and voila! We have a beautiful snowflake Christmas ornament for our tree that we made together. This is a fun winter day activity and my girls really enjoyed making them!
Come back tomorrow for another handmade Christmas ornament idea!

No one is surprised that Chris Chelios is "officially" retiring. Anyone who saw him play for Atlanta at the end of last season had to know it was over.
More than a few are probably stunned, though, that he was able to play in the NHL for 25+ seasons. Even more astounding is that he played at that level until he was 48 years of age.
Now, I was impressed a few years back when Julio Franco played in the major leagues until he was 47 or so--and he was a baseball player, limited largely to a role as an occasional pinch-hitter his last couple of seasons. But for Chelios—or anyone—to play and play well for that long as amazing.
Yes, a lot of us remember Gordie Howe playing with Hartford until he was 51 or 52 in the early 1980s, but the truth is Gordie was so far removed from the player he was it wasn't even close. It was a remarkable accomplishment—and he still put up points, for sure—but to really know Howe as a player, you had to see him play in the 1950s and early 1960s, when he was in his prime.
Chelios, by comparison, was still playing significant minutes and at a high level, well into his 40s in an era when the speed of the game made it utterly unlikely that someone his age could compete, much less thrive and standout.
It's not that Chelios was a personal favorite of mine. In fact, while I have great admiration regarding his career and professional approach throughout his years of service, I was not a fan when, during the most recent lockout/strike, he took a job in the United Hockey League presumably to "stay in shape". I felt it was the wrong thing to do, because he was essentially taking a job away from someone making maybe a few hundred dollars a month, when he already had millions in the bank. (In fairness, the team owner and the league were thrilled, as he probably brought in better crowds.)
But there is no questioning his talent, work ethic or accomplishments. He was traded for a somewhat fading superstar in Denis Savard, and went on to become the backbone of some really strong Chicago teams (under Mike Keenan and others). I was among those who wondered what he had left in the tank when he went to the Red Wings in his late 30s, yet he helped them win two Stanley Cups and was a leader there for almost 10 seasons.
I think hockey historians will look back, years down the road, and recognize just how unbelievable his accomplishments were in the modern-era. We talk in terms of records that will never be broken. Even though hockey players train more and better than ever, and most still play not only for the money but because they love the game, I can't imagine someone ever playing until he is 48—and at the level Chelios did.
I used to think that the big money that guys made would dissuade most from long careers, since they wouldn't "need" the money as they got older. But if you truly love the game (I'm sure the money doesn't hurt) I guess you still want to keep playing as long as possible.
Regardless, Chelios was a rarity.
He should do well in a management capacity with Detroit. I have no idea if he is interested, but he could certainly coach, and will likely be another in a long line of players in the Red Wing system—past and present— who will have a long career in the game after retirement.
I posted recently about the burgeoning numbers that will soon vie for a roster spot with the Leafs this fall. The much-discussed "top-six" forward spots will be hard to fill, but finding candidates for the "bottom-six" won't be nearly as difficult—at least in terms of candidates available to man the vacancies.
I'm likely forgetting somebody, but assuming Versteeg is an automatic second line winger, Christian Hanson now officially joins Orr (a lock), Armstrong (a lock), Sjostrom (a lock), Mitchell, Brown, Mueller, Caputi, D'Amigo and Irwin.
I was hoping that Hanson, who showed glimpses of offensive skill toward the end of last season, would use the World Championships as a springboard into this season. While he made and played for Burke's U.S. side, the team did not advance and as a result, Hanson never really gained the kind of potentially invaluable experience that might have been a catalyst heading into this season.
I'm not suggesting the Leafs are set in terms of third and fourth-line forwards, simply that they at least should have guys competing and ready to jump in from the Marlies as needed. In fact, I don't believe the "bottom-six" is particularly strong at this point, unfortunately. But I'm ready to be proven wrong.

I had so much fun at DeSoto on the Spring IPT that I have decided to run a (short-notice) Spring Sandbar Secrets DeSoto IPT: May 5-through the morning session on May 8, 2019 (3 1/2 days). Scroll down for details. I will go with one participant … Airport pick-up, riding with the leader, and sharing an AirBNB are all possibilities. DeSoto IPT participants Luis Alberto Grunauer joined my for a free ILE session on Monday morning and Chuck Murphy did the same on Tuesday morning. He is still photographing the crane colts as I top at 9:07am.
Of note is the fact that I never once using my Nikon 600mm f/4 VR lens on the first DeSoto IPT … Any questions on how that happened?
From left to right, Luis, Anita North, Tony Zielinski, yours truly (in the orange watch cap), Chuck, Dan Tishman, Spears McAllester, and Randy Strickland.

Despite two northwest wind-against-sun mornings and an afternoon of rain and thunderstorms, everyone on the DeSoto IPT went home happy and smarter with at least a few very good if not great images.

Selling Your Used Photo Gear Through BIRDS AS ART
Selling your used (or like-new) photo gear through the BAA Blog is a great idea. We charge only a 5% commission. One of the more popular used gear for sale sites charged a minimum of 20%. Plus assorted fees! Yikes. They went out of business. And e-Bay fees are now up to 13%. The minimum item price here is $500 (or less for a $25 fee). If you are interested please scroll down here or shoot us an e-mail with the words Items for Sale Info Request cut and pasted into the Subject line :). Stuff that is priced fairly — I offer pricing advice to those who agree to the terms — usually sells in no time flat. Over the past year, we have sold many dozens of items. Do know that prices on some items like the EOS-1D Mark IV, the old Canon 100-400, the old 500mm, the EOS-7D and 7D Mark II and the original 400mm DO lens have been dropping steadily. You can always see the current listings by clicking on the Used Photo Gear tab on the orange-yellow menu bar near the top of each blog post page.

Canon EF 500mm f/4 L IS Lens (the original IS model) plus extras!
Joel Eade is offering a Canon EF 500mm f/4 L IS (the original IS model, the "old five") in excellent condition for the BAA record-low price of $2999.00.

The 500mm f/4 lenses have been the world's most popular telephoto lenses for birds, nature, wildlife, and sports for many decades. I owned and used and loved my "old five" for many years. If you don't have the cash for a 500 II and can handle the additional 1 1/2 pounds, then this is your best super-telephoto option. Most everyone can produce sharp images with this lens and a 1.4X TC. Folks with good to excellent sharpness techniques can do the same with a 2X TC. With the new 500 II selling for $8,999 you can save a bundle by grabbing Joel's lens right now.

I owned and used this superb, full frame, 22mp digital body for several years. It was always my first choice for scenic, Urbex (urban exploration), and flower photography until I fell in love for a while with the 5DS R (for a lot more money!). Then I switched to the 5D IV body. In addition, I loved my 5D III body for birds with my big lenses and both TCs. I used mine to create many dozens of high quality images. Then I switched to Nikon. John's body can be yours for a bargain price. artie

The 2019 Fort DeSoto Short-Notice Sandbar Secrets IPT/Sunday May 5 through the morning session on Wednesday May 8, 2019: 3 1/2 DAYS: $1649. Limit 4/Openings: 4. Meet and greet at 7PM on the evening of Saturday May 4.
I will run this with a single registrant. Airport pick-up might be available as is riding with the leader. Combine those to avoid having to rent a car.
Fort DeSoto, located just south of St. Petersburg, FL, is a mecca for a great variety of migrant shorebirds, gulls, terns, and passerines in Spring. Many of the gulls and terns will be courting and copulating. There the migrants join hundreds of Florida resident egrets, herons, night-herons, and pelicans on the T-shaped peninsula. We should get to photograph one of Florida's most desirable shorebird species: Marbled Godwit. Black-bellied Plover and Willet are easy, American Oystercatcher almost guaranteed. Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Great Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, and White Ibis are easy as well and many of those will be in their spectacular breeding plumages. Yellow-crowned Night-Heron is a strong possibility. We may get to see and photograph the amazing heron/egret hybrid that has been present for three years. And we should enjoy some great Brown Pelican flight photography. In addition, Royal, Sandwich, Forster's, and Caspian Terns will likely provide us with some good flight opportunities as well. Though not guaranteed, Roseate Spoonbill and Wood Stork might well be expected. And we will be on the lookout for a migrant passerine fallout in the event of a thunderstorm or two. Yikes, I almost forgot to mention that nearly all of the birds are ridiculously tame!

Clockwise from upper left around to center: breeding plumage Dunlin, dark morph Reddish Egret displaying, Laughing Gull vertical front-end portrait, Laughing Gull with prey item, landing on head of Brown Pelican, breeding plumage Royal Tern displaying, Royal Terns — pre-copulatory stance, Laughing Gulls copulating, Laughing Gull head portrait, breeding plumage Sandwich Tern with fish, and a rare treat, a breeding plumage White-rumped Sandpiper.
Just some of the stuff you will learn …
On the IPT you will learn basics and fine points of digital exposure and to get the right exposure every time after making a single test exposure, how to approach free and wild birds without disturbing them, to understand and predict bird behavior, to identify many species of shorebirds, to spot the good situations, to choose the best perspective, to see and understand the light, and to design pleasing images by mastering your camera's AF system. Most importantly you will surely learn to evaluate wind and sky conditions and understand how they affect bird photography. And you will learn how and why to work in Manual mode (even if you're scared of it).

Early and Late
Getting up early and staying out late is pretty much a staple on all BIRDS AS ART Instructional Photo-Tours; on this particular trip we will get lots of sleep as the days are short. Being in the field well before the sun comes up and staying out until sunset will often present unique photographic opportunities, opportunities that will be missed by those who need their beauty rest. I really love it when I am leaving the beach on a sunny morning after a great session just as a carful or two of well-rested photographers arrive.
This image was created on April 20, 2019, DAY THREE of the DeSoto Spring IPT. I used the hand held Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens and my souped-up Nikon D850. ISO 400. Matrix metering minus about 1/3 stop: 1/3200 sec. at f/7.1 was a slight underexposure. AUTO1 WB at about 6:15pm on sunny afternoon.
Nikon Focus Peaking fine-tune value: +3. See the Nikon AF Fine-tune e-Guide here.
Center Group (grp) AF/Continuous (C in Nikon/AI Servo with Canon) was active at the moment of exposure. The upper point of the array just caught the base of the spoonbill's neck.

Spoonbill Realities
Roseate Spoonbill is uncommon at Fort DeSoto. We found this beautiful adult on Saturday afternoon and trekked through the mud with it for about an hour while staying on sun angle. I made 585 images of this single bird, kept 26 after the first edit, and liked two of those. Virtually all were sharp and properly exposed. The biggest problem was the background. Still blue water would have been nice but algae and mud ruled the roost. Image #1 above had about the best background (after being cropped).
This is the Photo Mechanic screen capture for the NEF (RAW) file of Image #1.

The Ruined Reflection
Note that the lower part of the reflection was ruined by the black muck towards the bottom of the frame. Not also the slight underexposure.
The Big Reflection Question
On every IPT I am asked the same reflection question: how do you decide whether to include the whole reflection and when do you opt to include only part of it?
When the water is like a mirror and there is zero wind, I will often strive to include the whole reflection. But in many cases a reflection — for a great variety of reasons — gets weaker at the bottom (the part nearer to the bird's head). In this cases I will often — as I have done with the crop of Image #1 — include roughly half the reflection, the stronger part closer to the bird.
This image was also created on April 20, 2019 , DAY THREE of the DeSoto Spring IPT. I used the hand held Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens and my souped-up Nikon D850. ISO 500. Matrix metering plus about 1 stop: 1/2000 sec. at f/6.3 was a bit underexposed. AUTO1 WB at about 7:15pm on then cloudy afternoon.

A Fitting End to the Mega-afternoon!
We were headed back to the car when the first sandbar thoughts entered my mind. As soon as we were in position, I noted two terns acting quite lovey. The male held the fist and strutted around the female. Then came the pre-copulatory stand. Then copulation. After the male jumped off the female, he still had the fish and promptly swallowed it! That is not how it is supposed to work. We worked some Red Knots and then spotted another courting pair. We got in position and they two consummated the act.
This is the Photo Mechanic screen capture for the NEF (RAW) file of Image #2.

The Image Clean-up
I boosted the exposure during the RAW conversion in Capture One and brought the image into Photoshop. After cropping the image for a better image design I went to work on the beach and bill clean-up. After forty minutes of painstakingly hard work using the Patch Tool (my keyboard shortcut P), the Lasso Tool (L), the Spot Healing Brush (J), and Content Aware Fill (Shift + Delete) I was left wondering if I should have left at least a few shells. What do you think?

Horse riding is a wonderful outdoor exercise that can be enjoyed at many ages. It's particularly good for developing the leg muscles and for overall physical coordination [source: Beneden]. Horse riding has grown more popular recently [source: British Horse Society]. Here we will tell you some tips about riding your horse.
- Make sure your horse is correctly equipped before riding it. Always use a bridle, not just a halter.
- Make sure you're dressed properly for riding a horse. You should wear boots with heels that will stop your feet from sliding out of the stirrups. You must also wear a helmet.
- Sit confidently on your horse and remember that horses get frightened quite easily.
- Stay calm at all times, especially if your horse gets scared by something. In this case keep your horse calm by speak to it soothingly.
- Keep your horse at a walk when on a slope or on a potentially slippery surface.
- Ride on the edge of the road, and be very careful. It's best to avoid riding on paved roads as much as possible.
- Keep your distance from the horse in front of you when riding in a line of horses. There should be at least a horse's length between your horse and the next horse.
- Avoid wearing spurs until you're experienced enough to hold your legs steady without fear of prodding your horse with the spurs by mistake.
- Enter and leave the stable with your horse at a walk [source: University of Kentucky]. //]]]]> ]]>

paint [Bug] Incorrect brush behaviour
Syntex3D posted a topic in General 3DCoatWith the default brush settings, the brush alpha is incorrect (Sharp shape: OFF). In the screenshot below i used an alpha with smooth edges & when "Sharp Shape" is OFF, the result is incorrect because it has hard edges even though it's supposed to be a soft edged brush. When "Sharp Shape" is ON, the brush has smooth edges like it's supposed to, but when the brush stroke intersects with itself & you don't lift up the pen, it creates weird looking corners. With "Sharp Shape" OFF, the self intersect result is correct but the edges are hard even though it's a soft brush. There is no way to get the correct result, either the brush alpha has hard edges even though it's supposed to have smooth edges or the self intersect result is incorrect. (All strokes in the screenshot are drawn with the same alpha & same brush size, using the "depth & opacity" brush)

5 top Key Features Missing for Artists in 3D-Coat (unfortunately do not exist)
Rygaard posted a topic in General 3DCoatHey everyone. What I would like to talk about is very IMPORTANT. I would like to share with you all 5 features (videos) that are very important and extremely essential in the sculpting process that unfortunately do not exist in 3D-Coat. In all honesty, these 5 features, with all my experience, are urgent features that could be present for artists who use 3D-Coat to sculpt and detail their work. I do not have words to describe how these 5 features would change our work within 3D-Coat. I discovered that these features already exist and work perfectly in Blender. And frankly, I am very sad to know that these key features do not exist in 3D-Coat and would certainly make all the difference in our work. I quit all my work, and for three days consecutives, after a lot of work and a lot of effort (because I do not speak English fluently), I finally managed to do the 5 videos after many failures trying. Note: I tried to leave the videos with short durations and very objective. I've done these videos demonstrating and explaining in the best possible way so that you can realize the importance of having these features urgently. These videos are sorted and numbered by what I consider to be priorities for the top 5 features that do not exist in 3D-Coat. Even after a lot of effort and work to make the videos, I know it will be worth it. I believe and I hope that @Andrew Shpagin will watch all 5 videos and realize how important it is to have these 5 important and essential features for 3D-Coat's Brushes and Alphas system for us artists. In fact, the order of priorities would be: 1.Plane Offset - 2.Sample Bias - 3.Curve FallOff - 4.Size - 5.Adjust ---> 1. Plane Offset ---> 2. Sample Bias ---> 3. Curve FallOff ---> 4. Size ---> 5. Adjust I've already emailed Andrew with these videos and I'm expecting some response. Please, if you like and agree, help me to help you too, please contact Andrew asking for the implementation of these features. Thank you very much for your attention.
Similar function of Imbed (Zbrush) or Plane Offset (Blender) to control brushes in 3D-Coat
Rygaard posted a topic in General 3DCoatHey everyone! I've been sculpting a lot in 3D-Coat, especially in Surface Mode. I tried to find here in the forum the answer to my question, but I did not find an exact answer to that. I would like to know if there is a similar function of Imbed (Zbrush) or Plane Offset (Blender) to control brushes in 3D-Coat? If I am not wrong these 2 functions are similar... (please someone correct me if I am wrong) I would like to have better control on the surface of the mesh inside the 3d-coat, that is, a very refined control in the brushstrokes that I make. Generally, when I used ZBrush, I left the Imbed low when I wanted to refine my brush strokes, thereby fully controlling the influence of the brush's deformation on the surface of the mesh. Just to let you know, I know most of you know these functions, but I will leave the explanation of these Zbrush and Blender brushes functions so some people who do not know can understand. Zbrush: Imbed The Brush Imbed will control the embed of selected brush. Brush Imbed gives a brush a definite control on how a brush will interact with a surface. This will allow slight deformation on the surface or more extreme deformation on the surface. Blender: Plane Offset: Offset for planar brushes (Clay, Fill, Flatten, Scrape), shifts the plane which is found by averaging the faces above or below. I know we have in the 3d-coat the sensitivity curve control button or the intensity of the tablet, but it's not exactly the function I'm looking for, just as we have the Edit Flatten Curve that is not the function I'm looking for either . Any similar function of Imbed or Plane Offset in 3D-Coat? Thank you
[Solved] Smooth brush doesn't work...

normal sampling does not work
x-OL posted a topic in SOS! Only for urgent helpI try to change normal sampling value to minimal = 5 - but it not change behavior of the brush. It begin change it angle to surface similar to normal sampling = 100 as soon as the edge of brush cursor touch the vertical surface - the brush begin change its tilt. But when normal sampling is = 5 - tilt of the brush must change when center of brush cursor will approach to vertical surface - but not edge of cursor. Only in Flatten tool - normal sampling work good I already reset Options-files in Documents/3D-Coat - it dont help( How to fix this problem?

"jagged" edges when painting depending on distance
rodriguesbjerre posted a topic in General 3DCoatHey For some reasons my lines are pretty jagged whenever i paint them from further away, resulting in a less-than-desired effect. I've drawn 2 strokes with the exact same brush, only difference being that i drew one up close to the model, and one further away. Anyway to prevent this? I really like the program, but this is pretty deal-breaking tbh.
3dcoat curve stroke on zbrush?
oscar_mello posted a topic in General 3DCoatHi all, i am starting to work on zbrush too and i would like to know if there is a similar option (on zbrush) for the curve stroke tool on 3dcoat. i use the curve stroke a lot on 3dcoat on pinch tool since it gives me awesome organic shapes and forms, i found on zbrush the lazy mouse option but so far i dont get the same shapes, thanks in advance for any help
Scrape brush?
kwhali posted a topic in General 3DCoatIs there a brush that behaves similar to flatten for surface volumes but can use a curve? Imagine, half cylinder shape, and i draw a line along the round surface to get curve/profile. Could I then use this to as a brush to scrape off excess and/or fill the surface to that curve?
Some tools not corresponding to brush size
Metin Seven posted a topic in General 3DCoatHi, I encountered some odd behaviour when using the Muscle, Snake and Spikes tools in voxel mode — they all show a much thinner result than the brush size. See the attached screenshots. I'm using the Constant Pressure stroke type, so it shouldn't be a Wacom pen pressure matter. I've also tried to increase the brush depth, to no result. The odd thing is that only the Toothpaste tool does correspond to the brush size, as you can see in the first screenshot. Did I perhaps activate some option? Because until this session the tools did correspond to the brush size. I'm using 3D Coat 4.8.03 for Mac OS. Thanks, Metin
[Solved] Why is Depth strength linked to Brush size ?
ghib posted a topic in Beta ReleasesLike the topic suggests this post is about brush size being linked to Depth strength. Is there a way to turn this off in 3dCoat? It's been this way for as long as I can remember and for the life of me I don't know why it was conceived this way. I have up until now merely put up with it but I can't stand it any longer. Why is it this way by default and can we get it changed? This program is for the most part great and is like a swiss army knife of tools but a LOT of them are ill conceived and poorly implemented. I have posted many comments over the years complaining about a lot of them and Andrew (god bless him) has answered most of them and when he doesn't it's because he's been too busy. Sorry for the slightly ranty post but it's been bugging me for too long.
Help! Move brush and Smoothing techniiques
Yonsseo posted a topic in General 3DCoatok so I have some questions! 1 .)Why does the move brush create this weird stretching effect? On the right side of this image I have used the move brush twice, if you notice the outside of the edge on the sphere is smooth and the inside is stretched. 2.) Is there any way to fix this from happening with the move brush itself? 3.) how to get good smoothing results? on the left side of the image I have merged a cylinder to a sphere and I have used the smooth brush to smooth the connecting crease. I find that the smooth brush is not strong, or powerful enough to smooth sometimes. 4.) Can you recommend any techniques for both of these issues? I'm mostly working with human anatomy sculpts and seperating or attaching limbs. thanks!

Newbie Issues
Kihea posted a topic in General 3DCoatHi there all, I'm new to 3D coat and I am attempting to do some hand painted textures. I seem to have run into an issue how ever and I'm not sure what is going on. When I attempt to paint on my model the brush has suddenly become very, blown out. Its harsh, doesnt react to pressure sensitvity, its very bright. I will load a screen shot so you can see. Any ideas on what might be going on? thanks. Tyler ( Kihea )

[Solved] Depth brush with each tick overlay
netgoblin posted a topic in General 3DCoatI'm trying to draw a weld seams... So I use a Brush Tool, a Depth channel active and the Additive paint checkbox turned on. But when I draw I get a plainly extruded stroke. Is there a way so that each brush drop (tick) will be overlayed on top of the previous one? Spacing parameter in Brush options doesn't help much. I use standard round alpha, maybe that is the problem? Do I need a specific alpha for a welded seams effect? thnx
Voxel sculpting brushes not working!!!!!!
ProDangles posted a topic in General 3DCoatHello, I am sculpting in the voxel room and am having strange issues with my brushes. No matter what size I set them to, the actual size is like 4 times larger than the yellow circle. If I go to the paint room the sizes are right. I can make the brushes extremely small and they will sort of work, but it is extremely laggy for some reason. I have uninstalled, and performed a clean install with no luck. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Brush preassure strength is jumpy
lefix posted a topic in SOS! Only for urgent helpHello, I just installed the trial a few days ago and I seem to have an issue with my brush strength at the beginning of each brush stroke. It's a bit hard to explain so I attached an image. Basically I have been painting this S shape, starting from top left left at constant speed/preassure and it does sometimes lag for a moment (0 or 100% preassure) until it finally gets the preassure right. I am running on a fresh install of windows 8.1 with the latest wacom drivers (Intuos pen tablet)
place uv mapped models by brush?
