The "must try" restaurant in Ogunquit
We have been going to Ogunquit, often 2-3 times a season for over 10 years. This is the best restaurant in southern coastal Maine and is on our "to do" list every year for its consistently great food and service. There is a good selection of choices, from meat to vegan/vegetarian, so everyone can find something to eat there. It is right in downtown Ogunquit where parking can be challenging in season and on the weekends, but they typically have valet parking during the summer.

TheTuscan Wine dinner at Five-0 was much anticipated by me. Much of the staff and management went on a trip to Tuscany while Five-0 was closed closed for winter recess. It was there that Chef Walter spent time with Michelin star Richard Titi of Il Falconiere. Chef Walter brought home some ideas and recipes for those attending to enjoy. And enjoy we did. The evening started out with prosecco in the lounge along with many wonderful munchies for us to enjoy. We were then ushered to the dining room to take our seats and were served Arancino, a rolled risotto and ragu filling that was lightly fried. It was simple and delicious. The wine distributor
representative, Gary explained we were in for an amazing treat with the chosen selections that were paired to our courses. He was si right. The first official course was a soup course of Tomato and bread with Felsina extra virgin olive oil. Five-0 purchased 500 bottles of the 2000 bottles produced and use it exclusively at the restaurant. It was so smooth. The wine pairing was a Chianti that work so well with the Zuppa. Next we were treated to not one but two life altering pasta courses served family style. I was so relieved because I wanted both types and I couldn't decide which one and I got both anyway. Such a relief. Baby spinach dumplings in stewed tomato sauce was light and so tasty. The Pici Alla Nana, a braised rabbit in red wine sauce with thick rolled noodles was out of this world. Served with Felsina Berardegna Chianti Classico Reserva that brought both pastas together. Just wonderful. The entre choices were Local cod roasted with swiss chard, chanterelles and spring onion or Slow roasted pork shoulder with juniper and new potato. Fortunately, my wife Linda and I have a strategy that works well. We order one of each entre and try each other's. The wine served was Felsina Rancia Chianti Classico Reserva and it was a perfect choice for the entres. I forgot to mention there was an apricot sorbet served right after the pasta course that was just right. Lastly we were served Villa Donna Lambrusco wine and a ice cold limoncello to go with a beautifully presented trio of dessert, fried pastry with ricotta, apple pie and sorbetto. All house made, all delicious. I can't emphasize enough, what a fantastic experience the wine dinners at Five-0 are. The owner, Donato spreads his love of food and people throughout the dining room. He is genuinely so proud of the entire staff and truly believes they are what makes Five-0 so special. Everyone of the staff helps to make it one of the most welcoming places to dine I have ever been to. It feels like you are having dinner at one of your best friends and with all of your friends. Treat yourself to an evening of great dining and go to one of Five-0's wine dinner. You will be happy to come back over and over again.

I've been going back and forth over my status as a writer. It's something that I do kinda a lot, when I should just go and write, but lately I've been deciding if I should keep writing fiction, try harder, or stave off.
I've come to the conclusion that I need to write, because I have this fascination with people. I watch them, listen to them, sometimes even talk to them, and when feeling brave, take photos of them. Anywho, at the end of the day, all of the facts I've learned/fabricated about them have to go somewhere. Writing is definitely still a yes for me. I make and remake this decision a lot, but tonight, it's yes.
Also, on the literary note and before I take off again, my talented friend has started a writing blog! If you're a teen writer looking for a kindred spirit, or wanting to see yours truly on the cover of a real-live book, or just out to find pleasant internet reads, then you'll enjoy her site:

Things to Ponder: Dr Wang's Telepathic Contact With Secret Dinosaurs in Palm Springs
Dr Wang's Telepathic Contact With Secret Dinosaurs in Palm Springs
Yesterday's post about dinosaurs allegedly hiding in the Palm Springs area raised a number of questions from readers across the globe and with local desert residents alike. Rumors that the local Morongo band of Indians have been hiding the dinosaurs sparked outrage in the local community. Over the years, there have been numerous reported dinosaur sightings in the foothills of the San Jacinto mountains. Ever since the Indians built the dinosaur statues off the route 10 freeway, it pretty much dismissed all filed reports regarding dinosaurs. However there continue to be persistent rumours that dinosaurs are still living, and in hiding among the famous windmill farms at the entrance to the Palm Springs desert area. In a phone interview with a local man (see right), he stated: "You see, the windmills were not really built to generate energy, they were built to contain and control the dinosaurs. I just know the government or those Indians are hiding something top secret within the windmill area", he said.
In an effort to uncover the truth, I turned to my psychic betta fish, Dr Sidney Wang for help. Being fully trained in telepathic communications, Dr Wang attempted to locate the dinosaurs by concentrating on the area just outside of Palm Springs. Dr Wang gazed into The Great Bubble Wall in his tank, as a crystal ball-type device to obtain actual visions of the dinosaurs. He settled into a very tranquil state, at the bottom of his fish tank, meditated briefly and altered his state of consciousness to allow the psychic medium to take effect. Within minutes, he began receiving signals of energy from the dinosaurs! "What do you want from us?" one dinosaur asked Dr Wang. Jolted by this communication, Dr Wang's fins trembled and his entire body shuttered. Dr Wang called out: "Why do you hide in the foothills of Palm Springs? You could be famous, on the news, on TV and movies!" To his surprise, the dinosaur responded: "What are you talking about? We worked secretly for Hollywood studios for several years as actors in the Jurassic Park films. It wasn't easy, but we are retired now, living on our actor's retirement fund in Palm Springs, just like all the other prehistoric actors, now leave us alone!" With that, the psychic channel slammed shut, and Dr Wang's eyes shot open. He knew it would be pointless to attempt further communication. But he did solve the mystery once and for all.

Which Indians are you talking about?
Send them here. There is plenty of "Food" for them here! :-D
Whoops- sorry Mona, Morongo are a band of native American Indians with a reservation just outside of Palm Springs.
PS- for any Morongo Indians who may read this- this is my attempt at humor and sarcasm, no offense intended!
hee hee, cute story rick. As usual, Dr Wang saves the day
November 24, 2007 at 7:09 AM
See? Now, I knew there had to be a logical explanation for their presence. Old actors never die; they just move to Palm Springs and eventually desiccate.
good one. I especially like the reference to prehistoric retired actors in palm springs. I'm sure they are not all that old are they?
Glad Dr. Wang got to the bottom of it all. He is a real talent unlike the dinos.
Thanks for visiting my Book Blog, I like what you have to say.
Very funny...I need a psychic fish I think.
Sassy lucy- maybe Dr Wang has a distant cousin with some psycic talent...I'll ask him for you ;-)

Daydreams in lace: wedding list idea #2
Ok, I know the idea for these posts seems somewhat greedy, but that isn't the intention. Plenty of blogs I like write posts about things they've seen on their travels, internet based or otherwise, so I don't think that its so different doing this. Its also just a way for me to show you the things that I like, things that deserve appreciation, and things I think you guys might like too!
Right. anyway, onto the item itself. or in this case, company. Melin Tregwnt. They are a welsh company, using traditional weaving techniques, with modern colour combinations. I've loved them for several years now, I mean, look at those colours!
I would happily take home any item from this company, although I'd prefer it to be from their home section rather than the fashion items (yes they do fashion too, coats and slippers and bags and such. look here). In particular though, I would like an aubergine and/or a greeny gold throw, and one of these lampshades!
Ok, I'm kidding, I'd like all of those lampshades...

Transport | Digital Oskar
Another train station shot taken from a different train this time. I love to travel I really enjoy the journey from one place to another and all the moments in between. I get to catch bits of other people’s journeys and lives. It was a bit of a gloomy day this journey and I was drawn to take this shot the grey of the sky with the camera and the station sign. I find it thrilling to take photographs of the cameras that watch us in our day-to-day meanderings. In a way it feels quite connecting to photograph them almost like I’m saying hello to them.

A CIO Perspective on the Evolving Role of the CFO | HuffPost
The rapid onset of the digital economy has dramatically changed the traditional role of the finance function, and by proxy, the roles and responsibilities of the CFO. Gone are the days of living and dying by the spreadsheet, and waiting for monthly or even yearly figures to make financial projections. CFOs today are taking on more than ever before. A recent survey found that a majority of finance professionals believe they will be taking on more responsibility in the coming years, with IT being one of the top areas that CFOs are increasingly seeing their role expand to cover.
In my past life as CFO of SAP Latin America, I saw the impact advances in technology were starting to have on the finance function, and continue to witness this evolution as I work closely with finance executives at customers around the globe today. As the role of the CFO continues to be influenced by technology, I sat down with SAP's CIO Americas, Michael Golz, to get an IT perspective on the evolving role of the CFO, and how the CFO and CIO are increasingly working together to develop business strategy and propel their companies forward.
From your perspective, how has the digital economy influenced the evolving role of the CFO?
CFOs today are tech-savvy and engaged with how IT can power business decisions. Truly successful CFOs aren't just running cost comparison and reporting the figures, they embrace their role as a respected voice when it comes to business strategy and company direction, driving the value of company investments. The types of insights needed for making this type of high-level decision making cannot be realized without technology, it requires integrated, real-time business processes in finance and the overall enterprise.
Gone are the days of pouring over spreadsheets. CFOs are turning to technology solutions that can help them expedite and dive deeper into forecasting and reporting. Expectations from peers and key stakeholders are driving this transition. The demand for real-time insights for board meetings or executive sessions is key to success for enterprises today. CFOs are expected to not only bring those insights to the table, but offer analysis that can help guide business strategy, facilitate informed financial decisions and ultimately drive action in the business.
With so much crossover, how do the IT function and finance function work together? How has the interaction between the CFO and CIO role changed?
The CFO and CIO are more linked now than ever before. The finance-IT relationship used to be 'order-taker,' where IT would receive requirements from finance, and reciprocate tools and insights that they can pass along for informed business decisions. Now, IT is enabling the digitalization of the finance function so that CFOs and their teams can be much more self-sufficient. Finance and IT need to work together to remove latency from disconnected process steps and complex reporting, moving towards real-time insights and simplified processes.
As I mentioned before, finance is more tech-savvy, and technology solutions are becoming increasingly accessible to the every day business user. With this, we are putting data insights back where it truly belongs - in the hands of business decision makers. Additionally, by breaking up the old school process, there is more room for overlap and teamwork when it comes to shaping overall strategy for both finance and IT.
Outside of the influence of technology, what other factors are shaping the CFO's role today?
We are living in an unprecedented era of economic and regulatory volatility. Whether managing the impact of Brexit on the global market, navigating the M&A landscape or even responding to the outcome of the U.S. presidential election this fall, the world we live in today is rapidly changing, and any one of these factors can have a huge impact on a company's business results.
CFOs need to be agile in today's global market. Real-time insights can help CFOs provide ad-hoc recommendations on business direction that can be critical as companies look to effectively steer through global uncertainty.
As advanced technology and data analytics continue to play an increased role in the enterprise, what changes do you expect we will see in the C-suite more broadly? How will the CFO fit in?
The digital era is expanding the role of every C-suite member, and enabling a much more collaborative and strategic atmosphere in the boardroom. Data analytics is not solely the domain of IT anymore, but rather penetrates every aspect of the business.
The CFO is leading the charge in this regard - truly transitioning to become a strategic visionary, and a wingman to the CEO. Armed with previously untapped insights, the CFO can provide unmatched strategy and insight for informed business decisions, and ultimately help sustain and grow the company.

COMBINED COUPLING AND CLOSURE FOR DISPENSING CANISTERS Filed Nov. 29, 1963 jflzzfzzzi a/ gag/m, @KKW United States Patent 3,186,537 CONEEED COUPLEWG AND LOSURE Fill?! DlSlENSlNG QANKSTERS Edgar F. Qollins, Wilmette, ill, assignor to Stone Qontainer Corporation, Chicago, lllh, a corporation of Illinois Filed Nov. 29, 1963, Ser. N 326,897 5 Claims. (ill. ZZZ-48d) This invention relates generally to canisters for dispensing granular food products and more particularly, relates to a combined coupling and closure device for use with dispensing canisters of the character described which enables a pair of such canisters to be nested one on top of the other for shipment, storage and display as a unitary assemblage.
Nested or stacked canisters, each of which contains a granular food product, such as, grated cheese, condiments, or the like, have been utilized heretofore with recognized advantages. In practice, it is contemplated that the nested canisters will be separated and used individually; consequently, each canister must have means for dispensing the granular contents and some manner of closure for the dispensin' means when the contents are not being dispensed. Various dispensing and closure means for this type of canister are known, such as the well known dredge top. Top realize a nested or stacked assemblage of such dispensing canisters, resort is had to some manner of separate coupling device which will hold the pair of canisters in nested assembly and permit their separated for dispensing the contents of canisters.
A primary object of the invention is to provide a novel coupling and closure device of the character described which is characterized by structural features which enable the device to function both as a coupling member for nesting the dispensing canisters and as a dispensing means and closure for one of the canisters after they are separated.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a coupling and closure device of the character decribed which is formed as an integral ring member having oppositely opening circular skirts for coupling a pair of dispensing canisters together and a transverse wall intermediate the open mouths of said skirts capable of functioning as a dispensing means and closure for one of the canisters by means of selective rotation of said device on said one canister.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel device of the character described which is economical to manufacture and install; which is capable of being used on commercially available dispensing canisters without requiring modification of the canister; which can be used advantageously with a large variety of different canister constructions; and which is simple and easy to install and use.
The foregoing and other objects of the invention will become apparent from the ensuing disclosure in which a preferred embodiment has been described in detail in the specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawing. It is contemplated that minor variations may be made in the size, arrangement, construction and proportions of the several parts thereof without departing from the scope or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view showing a pair of dispensing canisters coupled together by means of the combined coupling and closure device embodying the invention.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 22 of FIG. 1 and in the general direction indicated.
FIG. 3 is a top perspective view of the device embodyice ing invention with a portion broken away to shown cross sectional details.
FIG. 4 is a sectional View taken along the line 44 of FIG. 1 and in the general direction indicated.
Referring now to the drawing, the combined coupling and closure device embodying the invention is identified generally by the reference character Ztl in FIG. 3. As will appear more particularly from the ensuing dis closure, the device 2! is capable of coupling together a pair of dispensing canisters 22 and 24 in a nested or stacked assemblage one on top of the other, as seen in FIG. 1. Each of said canisters Z2 and Z4 is representative of a type of a conventional package for dispensing granular foods, such as grated cheese, condiments, or the like, and the canisters are generally similar in construction. Such a canister has an elongated cylindrical sleeve as of cardboard, sheet metal or other suitable material providing a circumferential wall open at opposite ends thereof. According to the invention, it is contemplated that the bottom end of each of the canisters will be closed off in a conventional manner, such as, by a circular metal plate providing a marginal head or flange 28 which is crimped or otherwise secured around the marginal lip of the open bottom end of the sleeve 26. The bead or flange is slightly larger in diameter than the outside diameter of the sleeve.
Referring to FIG. 4, the open upper end 29 of sleeve 26 of the upper canister 22 is closed by a dish-shaped circular metal plate 39 having a marginal bead 32 crimped over the marginal lip of said open end. The plate 3% has a circular opening 34 therethrough and a segmentshaped knock-out section 3 Engaged in the hollow of said plate 353 is a conventional dredge top 38 with an opening 39 and a second opening which correspond respectively to the opening obtained when section 36 is removed and opening 34. The dredge top 33 is rotatable selectively about the depending in 48 integral with top 38 which extends through a suitable medial opening in plate 3% to open and close the canister 22. The construction of canister 22, as described, is typical, but it can vary as to the means for dispensing materials therefrom without interfering with the invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, it will be seen that the open upper end 52 of the sleeve 2-6 of canister 24 has a circular metal plate id of dish-shaped configuration secured across the end 42 by means of the peripheral flange 45 engaged around the marginal lip 46. The plate 44 forms a cover or lid for said end 52 and has a knock-portion 46 to provide a large crescent-shaped opening, for instance, and a series of smaller openings 43 for dispensing smaller quantities of the contents of canister 24.
The device 2% embodying the invention preferably is molded as an integral structure of a suitable plastic material such as polyethylene, however, other materials such as metals, also would be feasible. The device Ztl comprises an annular ring having a first skirt 553 and a second skirt 52., said skirts opening in opposite directions. Each skirt has a circular groove 54 in the internal circumferential surface thereof and spaced inwardly a short distance from the end face 55 of the skirt. Inside the ring is a transverse wall 58 which functions as a dispenser top or lid. Referring to FIG. 2, it will be seen that the dispenser top 58 is connected to the ring by means of a short downwardly slanted section 59 so that the lid or top 58 is spaced to one side of the transverse center line of the ring and surrounded by the skirt 52. There results also an annular recess 61 between the wall 58 and skirt 52 toward which the groove 54 in skirt 52 opens.
Referring to FIG. 2, to nest the canisters 22 and 24, the bottom end of supper canister 22 has the bead 28 thereof engaged in the groove 54 of skirt Si) which is at the upper end of the coupling device as shown in PEG. 2.
The canister 24 has its upper end received in the skirt 52 with bead or flange 45 engaged in the groove 54 of skirt 50. The dispenser Wall 58 is engaged directly upon the plate 44, Further, the wall 58 has a pair of openings 6t) and 62, opening 62 being larger than opening 60. Each of the skirts t and 52 are made sufficiently resilient to permit ahead 28 or 45 to be snapped into the appropriate groove 54. t i
The canisters 22 and 2 5- are shown nested in FlG. 1. When canister 22 is separated from the ring device 243, the device 29 remains installed on the bottom canister 24. By rotation of the device 2%, each of the openings 69 and 62 can be aligned selectively with an opening in It will be noted that the device 2!} can be used with different structures of dispenser packages since the Wall 58 provides a separate dispenser top for the bottom canister of the nested pair. Consequently, the top canister 22 can have any kind of dispenser top so long as the bottom end of this canister can be engaged in the skirt 5h. The lower canister 24 requires only a top cover or lid plate 44 either with or without dispensing openings. Where no such openings are provided, the user can punch his own holes to align with the openings so and 62 of the dispenser top Wall 58. Also, the upper canister 22 can be made with an upper end wall similar to plate 44 and without a dredge top. When canister 24 is exhausted, device 20 can be removed and installed'on canister 22 overlying such anend plate. Thus, device Ziicould be used also for two identical canisters 24. I
It is believed that the invention has been described in suflicient detail to enable the skilled artisan to practice In the appended claims, the invention has been pointed out in language intended to be liberally 7 4 construed commensurate with the advance in the arts and sciences contributed thereby.
What it is desired to secure by Letters Patent is: 1. A combined coupling and closure device for a pair of dispensing canisters of the character described comprising, a' ring member having a pair of annular skirt formations each provided With an open end, said open ends facing in opposite directions, resilient means on the inner circumferential surface of each skirt for removably'securing one end of a canister in the skirt for nesting the pair of canisters one on top of the other in a unitary assemblage, one of said canisters being separable from the second canister without requiring removal of the ring from the second canister, said ring having an transverse Wall extends entirely across the interior of the ring.

I have written about my portable jib which arrived just over a month ago. It's light and well-made and portable. There's another kid on the block that claims to do the same while being even lighter and more portable. The downside is that it costs twice as much and that it will only hold DSLR's.
Well, it just happens to be that today for the first time I took along my jib to a paid gig and mounted my EX1R to it. It took the weight effortlessly. (even though I need some more counterweight) Anyway, check out this ultraportable jib and tell me how you like it if you happen to own one.

About 6 months ago I bought a silver, metal little lens. I had just discovered c-mount lenses and was lusting after unusual, old lenses(and preferably a combination of the 2). I found a Cosmicar 25mm 1.4 television lens on a Dutch website for secondhand articles and I bought it for around €80,-
Now recently I've been working on a little project and I've been using this Cosmicar lens in combination with the GH2. It's sharp, colors are nicely saturated but there's some heavy vignetting when stopping this lens down so I have been trying to find out what thread size I need for a ND filter. Turns out that's one tough piece of information to come by..! These lenses are very rare.
Cosmicar has been taken over by Pentax and the new Pentax 25mm 1.4 is a different lens altogether and has different measurements. I found one picture of the exact same lens as mine on Flickr but that account has been inactive for 2 years... Otherwise... nothing on the web. So I contacted Pentax Holland, who referred me to Pentax England. I filled in an online contact form and was called up by Pentax Belgium! Who took my question to Pentax Germany. Pentax Germany told me they weren't sure but the lens was probably from '69. They did not have any records of sizes and advised me to measure the lens diameter by hand. My best bet was 34mm. A stepup ring is on the way.

In the ongoing evolution of camera's and cameragear it was just a matter of time before the 360 degree lens would hit the market. Because competition is killing, it's important to have a headstart on your competitors. But in this case, I would have told my engineers to keep working at it just a wee bit more before taking it to the stores. This footage is so soft you could use it for pillow stuffing... (Ok, that's the best I could come up with. Better comparisons may be left in the comment box)It's a fun gadget though. Move your mouse over the image and you can view 360 degrees. (there's also a free iphone app from the same company)

Apparently there's so much free footage out there it makes you wonder why you should go out and shoot anything at all..;-) A few days ago I read about Videoblocks giving away 20 clips a day for 7 days to attract new customers. But I lost the link and while trying to retrieve it, I came across a few other sites where cheapo's like us can find free footage. Such as StockFootageForFree. No catch! There's even a Vimeo group that you can join and have access to some quality HD stuff. Now why didn't I know about that before..?! I admit I haven't tried all of them but I'm sure you can find some great material and definitely worth it if you're looking for some special footage, animations or (sound-)tracks.

DSLR viewfinder comes with strap and sticky frame
Well, I don't know if it's perfect but that's what it says on the box. It's a LCD foldable viewfinder with 3x magnification and +/-3 diopter. At $46,- shipped it doesn't get any cheaper than this.I bought a viewfinder that doesn't have diopter nor is it foldable for €55,- , about than 10 months ago.What particularly bothered me about that design is the sticky metal frames: they kept falling off. And the magnets that were supposed to keep the two elements together weren't strong enough, either...
I've seen some good stuff about this 'perfect' viewfinder and decided to give it a shot. It's all plastic and light; nothing fancy about it. But who needs that, as long as it works? I will write about my experiences with this loupe after I've really used it and tell you how it holds up.

MY DP4 ONE DAY AFTER I RECEIVED IT
I sent my practically new SmallHD DP4 monitor in for repair a few weeks ago and yesterday I got word from SmallHD that someone along the way from Amsterdam to the USA opened the box, took out the monitor and closed it again in such a way that no one would notice..! Unfortunately SmallHD signed for it without checking the box... And that is very unfortunate, from a legal standpoint.
The only consolation is that the thief has a unit with sunburn spots on the LCD.(the reason my monitor went back for repair.) And because it's such a specialized piece of gear, only SmallHD can repair it. In case you come across a SmallHD DP4 (for sale) and it has serial# DP4-00473, please contact SmallHD.
The good news is that my new replacement monitor is on the way. Let's just hope it doesn't pass the same thieving hands when it travels to Amsterdam. One thing I know for certain: I will check every box I receive before signing for it.

I was so happy with my new GoPro HD camera and now they've released a GoPro HD2 and I feel like I have an outdated camera... The new GoPro is 2x sharper, does 120 fps (albeit lo-res), has all sorts of wireless control and viewing functions (optional) etc. Why do they keep doing this? Can't they just stick with one design for 10 years and make me feel really priviliged...;-)

Took my GH2 with Pentax 6mm lens to the voetbal/football/soccer tournament at my son's club. 10 year old boys (plus the occasional girl) playing some incredible voetbal. But with this lens it was much more fun shooting the emotion around the game than shooting the action itself... Some of these kids are so concentrated on the game you can literally stick a camera in their face and they won't notice...
Here's my very short impression of the day.

Nice Lady does it again: nice review of the DP4 vs the Zacuto EVF! She's turning this review into a series with a cliffhanger: part 3 is still to come! I was planning to do my own review but then my DP4 got fried before I got the chance to. I was going to spend a day shooting with soundman Neal McDiarmid -who owns a Zacuto EVF- and compare the two but Nice Lady beat us to it. That's fine: the more, the better, right? We will do our own anyway, so people can make an even more informed decision. Meanwhile, this is what Nice Lady has to say about both EVF's. Nice work, Nice Lady!

I finally made myself a working Pentax 6mm! It took a lot of time, research, careful scrutiny and frustration and, most recently, the purchase of a Dremel but alas, I have a fast, wide lens that has infinity focus- and beyond! I also finally received my stepup ring so I could use my LCD variable ND-filter and shoot happily outside.

CONNECTING TO MY NEIGHBOURS BY CABLE: SLIDECAM..?
Once in a while the thought enters my mind that there must be some way to connect to my neighbours balcony via some sort of cable and have a camera hang from it to make some cool overhead shots -or better still- slide that camera like a bird through the sky. Obviously I am not the only one that's thought of this and definitely not the first... (Devices like this are out of reach for the budget-shooter.)
There's many more situations where a setup like that could get you some spectacular shots but to build yourself a reliable, steady device must a real challenge. As is demonstrated by this video...

You can now record professional audio on your iPhone. Sounds pretty good. (What it claims to do, I mean...;-) Apparently it is being used professionally. At $30,- Pro Audio to Go is not cheap but any decent audiorecorder starts at $80,-
'Pro Audio To Go turns your iPhone into a 48 kHz professional quality recording device for use on location by news reporters, journalists, documentarians, musicians, DSLR videographers, filmmakers, producers and editors. With a single tap on your phone, you can record an AIFF audio file in 48 kHz. Upload the file directly to an FTP server or email it, then download and instantly begin using it in your editing system's Timeline. No conversion necessary!'

I was going to shoot some stuff with my brandnew Nature fader ND filter but before I was even able to take it out of my camerabag, it decided to go all by itself. Followed by my lens, a Carl-Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20/4. I was shooting in the center of town today and while I bent over to check composition on a very low shot, my lens with attached Nature fader ND fell out of my bag.
I was paying attention to everything: my dog, the bums, the ferris wheel, the traffic and the cops. Everything except my bag, which I didn't secure. A warning to all: lock your bag after taking stuff out! Or bring a padded lens-pouch. Luckily the filter took the complete hit and my lens remained unharmed.
Bye bye Nature fader ND! That's another $70,- down the drain. I am having very bad karma-month: first my SmallHD monitor fries, then I lose a 4x4 glass filter and now this...

The new Driftwood patch/hack for the Panasonic GH2 achieves an astonishing bitrate of 176 MB. But to be honest, the technical particularities of this accomplishment elude me; you could have told me 2000 MB and what does it say..? Numbers mean nothing.
The only thing I'm interested in is seeing it in applied in the real world. How does this hack translate into picture quality? Better dynamic range? Less noise? More sharpness? I'm looking for a video that does a side by side comparison of the original bitrate and the hacked one. But I mostly get video that is is sterile testing: a rating of noise produced by the camera when shooting at different ISO's with the lenscap on... That's not a real life test?!
Shoot the same scene with this ridiculously high bitrate and shoot the same scene with 'native' settings. That way I can judge whether I really 'need' this patch as long as I'm only publishing my stuff on the internet... and whether or not it's time to 'upgrade'. Can't find such a test. I guess one of these days I'm gonna have to try it myself. Meanwhile, here's the 'test in the dark' and a 250 MB bitrate test.

THE HV20 HAS MADE MANY 'INDIES' HAPPY!
The Canon HV20 camcorder was quite a little number in its heydays, packing features such as great picture quality, a choice of progressive video, HDV and DV shooting and the ability to control aperture/depth of field (albeit with a little workaround), HDMI out, external mic in, all for a very affordable pricetag. To be honest, I never really used it other than on full automatic. As B-roll to my Sony Z1 and later my EX1. Great for concerts and theater registrations; close-ups of keyboards or percussion...I've also taken it on vacation a few times: this camera takes a mean photograph as well! (on a micro-sd card, I used a 1GB)
But I haven't used the camera for over a year. And I only have one mini-DV tape left. Should I buy new tape or convert definitively to tapeless acquisition?
Since then I have bought a few other camera's that can serve as point-of-view cams. I can use my Panasonic GH2 for B-roll to my EX-1R. I guess the time has come to say goodbye to my HV20. (less than 80 hours of operation!) But only if the price is right: bidding may start underneath this article in the Comment Section!

I spent my sunday shooting classic cars. Shooting photographs, mind you. Used my Canon 550D, Tamron 17-50 2.8 VC and 50mm 1.8. This job took so much out of me, I almost forgot to blog... That would have been the first day I'd have missed since I started. I am totally wasted. But the cars and locations were beautiful...

I had been thinking about a monopod for a long time but after seeing a few video's on the Manfrotto BHDV-1, I totally fell in love with this model: a true hybrid between a tripod and a monopod. It's got three little legs and a fluidhead, it goes up to 200cm, folds up to 76cm and it's... light! At well under 2 kg it must be the ultimate portable solution. Aside from a carbon fiber version that would be a hefty extra investment... Anyway, it appears that once you've got a taste of this monopod, youre hooked. Here's some tricks on using that monopod.

NICE BOX, HOPE THE FILTER IS 'GOLDEN' AS WELL...
A golden box for my new 77mm fader ND filter: I hope the product is as nice as its packaging... I already own a 52mm LCW Fader ND Mark II and needed an extra filter for my larger lenses. The LCW, by the way, is a great filter and I have used it extensively with my 20mm Pancake lens (example video). But the Nature brand is more affordable and from what I've read as good as the LCW. With the bigger Nature ND filter and with an assortment of stepup rings I should have all bases covered. I hope to do a shootout between the Nature and LCW fader ND filters soon.

Is it Chinese porcelain? A crystal bowl? No, it's an adapter plate!
A TYPICAL CASE OF 'OVER-BOXING'
I have received packages in all sizes and shapes but I have never seen a package that was so utterly over-packed as this sliding adapter plate that was delivered to me this morning! A cardboard box nearly 30 cm wide, 24 cm high en 22 cm deep (yes, I measured it, for good measure...) to deliver an adapter plate?! Aside from the fact that you could have easily fitted 100 adapter plates in this box, it was wrapped like antique glass... I'm all for good packaging but this is way beyond any reasoning and a waste at that... (interesting sidenote: this Manfrotto-compatibel adapter plate (Calumet's own brand, half the price of the official Manfrotto version) is shipped in a Manfrotto box...)

Waddaya mean DSLR small form factor..??!
Within a week of having my mattebox all set up with my new Formatt glass 4x4 filters, I lost one of my filter holders with a Circular Polarizer still in it. I've been shooting out on the edge of a lake and experimented with different filters. My mattebox has two filter holders and I would shoot with both the polarizer and the ND filter, take out the polarizer, shoot with just one filter, etc. Occasionally I placed a filterholder with glass against my camerabag. I probably looked right through it when I left (it's glass*%##!) and found out 3 days later I was missing a filter and filterholder. So today I biked the 10 miles to the lake to see if it was still lying somewhere in the grass but that was just too much to hope for...
I just spent €25,- to send my damaged SmallHD monitor in for repair, now I need to spend another €80,- to replace my filter and holder. None of this would have happened if I just stuck to shooting with my EX1 and keep things nice and simple... Which goes to prove: the more stuff you have, the more can go wrong... (and it usually does)

CAMERA BIKE MOUNT: $3,- OR $30,-??!
Ever since I busted my GoPro HD mount that was used to attach my camera to racing steering wheel, I started looking for a replacement. I was looking at offers like '$20,- plus $32,- shipping'. Ridiculous. Then I saw something they sell as a GoPro bike mount but is not even an official GoPro accessory. But the price is still over $30,-. Absurd. Then I remembered I bought exactly the same bike mount last year for my Panasonic Lumix TZ7. Cost me $1,- plus $2,- shipping! Now we're talking. (don't forget you'll need a GoPro tripod mount to use any of these bike mounts)
Don't get fooled by so-called 'official accessories', an extra few minutes of searching on eBay can earn you lots of dollars...

BELOW RIGHT: WHITE SUNBURN SPOT
I have been using the SmallHD DP4 for about a month now. It's been sunny and that's the reason I have been shooting outside a lot, experimenting with different lenses, rigs, my new mattebox and glass filters. My DP4 made it a lot more fun and so much easier to shoot with these accessories and judge what I was doing.
But there is a big drawback to shooting in the sun with an Electronic View Finder (EVF): sunlight. And when I disovered a few spots/specks on my monitor and contacted SmallHD what these spots could be, they said they recognized the spots as coming from sunlight going into the EVF burning holes in your screen. The EVF is a magnifier: remember as a child using a magnifying glass to burn stuff? SmallHD says it takes no more than 30 seconds to burn holes in your screen. Considering that, I'm glad the damage was limited to a few spots...
Problem is that most often we're shooting with the sun in our back. So fiddling with equipment, searching your bag, talking to talent, whatever... 30 seconds is gone in a spiffy...
Is it a flaw in the design? I am not an engineer and cannot answer that. I have read that Zacuto's EVF has the same problem and most likely every monitor/EVF combo. Can't they redirect the sunlight so it won't hit the LCD? My uneducated guess is that -if possible at all- that would require very expensive optical engineering that would put the DP4 out of our financial range.
SmallHD has warned for use in the sunlight and consider this 'user damage'. But I have to give the company credit for the way it handles this issue. For now, clients are getting their DP4's fixed under warranty. In the future the sun warning will be more explicit in the manual and a lenscap for the EVF will be shipped with the package. I would add: preferably permanently attached to the EVF and with a big yellow warning sticker on the EVF itself. Because in the rush of the job, 30 seconds can pass before you can change a lens...

grind down more on the side, as shown in picture
Ever since I bought my Pentax 6mm 1.2 cctv lens, I have not been able to focus on infinity. I paid someone €20,- to shave down the rear barrel of my lens but to no avail. I started grinding my c-mount adapter but that was not succesful either.
The problem is -and I know other buyers are struggling with the same thing- is that you don't know exactly how much to grind down of the barrel. People didn't get it and I didn't, either... It's not that the person who 'discovered' this cheap wide and fast lens, Seb Farges, wasn't helpful. He shared pictures of the mod but he was not able to explain exactly why simple 'shaving off a few millimeters' didn't work. But then, upon close examination and with the help of blogger Obakesan I finally noticed what I was supposed to do: shave off the outer side of the barrel a few millimeters more, untill you reach the screw on the side.
I bought a €35,- Dremel (electric tool) to do the job and after a few rounds grinding down the barrel... tadaaaa! Infinity! I am infinitely happy with the results... I will post some footage I shot with the Pentax soon. (Note: this is not a dirtcheap lens anymore: 15,- for the Pentax, 2 c-mount adapters@ 19,- together, 35,- for the Dremel... But the Dremel is a lovely tool: I used it to slice through metal today and it lived up to the task!)

yuvaa: Yuvaa's road show in Ahmedabad was a huge success | Ahmedabad News - Times of India
TNN | Feb 10, 2019, 17:22 IST
Nikhil Taneja, Anand Tiwari and Amritpal Bindra have joined hands and launched the platform 'Yuvaa' that listens to, engages with and and shares the stories that bring young India together, to create a community of empowered ‘yuvaa’. Its objective is to create and curate original, accessible and entertaining stories of, for and by the youth of India across genres of non-fiction and fiction web series, docu-series, talk shows, podcasts and short-format on all digital and social media platforms.
Recently, Nikhil Taneja was in Ahmedabad for a road show and chat with the young crowd of the city as a part of their travel to 30 cities of the country. The road-show and interactive session was a big hit amonghst city's young crowd. Taneja shared, "Ahmedabad has such a lovely, diverse culture of young Indians, not only belonging to Ahmedabad, but from across Gujarat and India. And being a vibrant metropolitan, Ahmedabad has so many beautiful stories of its youth that are waiting to be told and shared with the rest of India. And we are so, so excited to share them on Yuvaa's social platforms."
Talking about their initiative, he elaborated, "It has been overwhelming exposure so far. Our intent was to hear the untold, unheard, unspoken stories of young Indians from across the country because we believe that every story matters, no matter where you are and no matter what your story is. We have so far heard empowering stories about consent, mental health, self worth and sexual harassment. And every story has empowered more people to speak, and has been received with empathy, love and hugs. By the end of this, we aim to share over 500 stories of young Indians from across the country and make them feel more represented and less alone."

Joke Articles, Games by Peih-Geesus inc.	Ratchet Fire Emblem
Coming soon, a new development from Peih-Geesus inc. set to be released on the 1st of April, 2017 named Ratchet Fire Emblem, will put a new twist on Intelligent Systems' acclaimed FE series.
Created by OstianWendy. Rated R-18 and Mature for explicit sexual references, frequent cursing and gore.
Waluigi, a noble of Musstashia, and his long-time friend Toadette (a.k.a. Whoredette when she's on stage), are plagued by the shadow of DARK MARIO! and his country, Castleshadowvania. Castleshadowvania's neighbour, Ydnewville, has been at war with Dark Mario's evil kingdom for centuries. Dark Mario believes Musstashia can help him win the war; but after he calls Waluigi fat and says that Toadette has Syphilis, the nobles of Musstashia and Ydnewville unite to thwart Dark Mario. Who will prevail? Who will lose? And who will find the cure to Syphilis?
Each character has a UNIQUE class. The weapon triangle has been TRANSFORMED and does not exist any more, meaning combat focusses on stats. The interface from FE Fates returns and each of the special guests from Nintendo have ~unique~ art to show that we didn't rip Nintendo off. Characters
A creepy perv who is best friends with a pink slutty mushroom, Waluigi has always been an outsider. As a noble of Musstashia, his father, Boris (a completely new and canon character) wanted him to be a cool and calm and collected and cool man but Waluigi wanted to be different. At least he isn't fat. Anyway, he wants to THWART Dark Mario and let Toadette be his kween. He also wants to rule the continent of Copyrightia.
Class, Growth Rates and Stats
Template:FECharstats
Waluigi's best friend and a total whore, she loves to sleep around. She was rescued by Waluigi's old girlfriend, Lady Lima, so they could have threesomes. Unfortunately, Lady Lima left the pair and they became a troublesome twosome. Can Toadette slay the evil Dark Mario? Oh, she also has Syphilis.

Drift Boating | The Fishing Gene
« Going Fishing..
Fly Fishing for Carp »
We are rapidly approaching the shortest day, in fact according to me, and I am notoriously unreliable with such matters it should be on Sunday but I am not entirely sure, based on the amount of work done in the day before running out of time it seems to me that all the days have become pretty short of late but that could just be old age.
Apparently reading further the winter solstice only occurs for an instant, that is the moment that the sun is at its greatest angular distance on the other side of the equator, or something like that, but for most of us it represents the whole, albeit foreshortened day. Well the day isn’t shorter, but that part of it where you aren’t dependent on Eskom if you wish to read a book is.
None of which has anything to do with the fact that my recent trip up to Lakensvlei with Mike Spinola was foreshortened. In fact twice, firstly because Mike had a forgotten prior engagement that meant we couldn’t go out and share the hut as we had first planned and secondly because I overslept and Mike’s “where are you” phone call actually served as an alarm and I had to admit that I was still wrapped up warm in bed and not overly keen to vacate it either. So after a belting dash with dirty contact lenses and the sense of overwhelming dread that something critical had been forgotten I arrived at the point of departure about forty minutes late and we arrived at the dam some little time after dawn.
The lake was mirror calm other than for the wakes of ducks and bobbing float tubers already afloat, for the record the float tubes are distinguishable from the ducks in that they are more brightly coloured and considerably larger although at a distance it can be confusing.
We managed to inflate the boat, rig up the tackle and get onto the dam in short order and perhaps the slightly later than planned hour meant that we weren’t quite as cold as we might have been, but it was a tad chilly. Competition angling has however taught me, finally, that when rigging boats and tackle it is very much a case of “more haste less speed” so we were well balanced in our approach and preparations went off without the usual hitches of forgetting the bung, tangling the leader or leaving the polaroids in the car.
Spare rods were stowed, more of the importance of that later, and we were off. The decision to wear waders turned out to be a good one later but even at the outset the pleasure of not wetting one’s tootsies and having to sit crunched up and frigid for the day was welcome.
Lakensvlei is probably our best venue and certainly our best drift boat venue, however it is a cantankerous mistress and the wind there is fickle in the extreme. There was a lovely gentle breeze by the time we launched blowing directly down the lake and we factored in a super long drift past the hut for the outset. Positioning ourselves up in the first inlet arm and lined up to skirt the reef just off shore things were looking good until we deployed the drogue. Now if you know anything about climatology you will know that the very best way to stop the wind is to deploy a drogue on a drift boat, and sure as eggs no more than seconds after the canvass hit the water the wind died again.
So we pulled in the underwater parachute and paddled a tad further out, things were still not looking that good so we headed for the tiniest bit of breeze not that far from the middle of the dam in the hope we would get a drift and perhaps find some daphnia feeders out in the deep.
About half an hour into things there was a flash under my flies as I lifted off and repeated retrieves and “hangs” eventually produced a fish for me and a take for Mike which he missed. Then another fish and the breeze stiffened a tad blowing us towards the bank in front of Bob’s house. Coming into the shoreline a fish chased the flies up as I lifted from the hang, a quick drop of the wrist to allow him a second chance and he took the point fly, a good fish and I was pleased to have him as we were working hard.
A repeated drift along the bank produced another fish for me and Mike remained fishless, the waves now becoming rather unpleasant and our drift speed too fast despite the drogue. I think that my drogue works a tad better and would have slowed us more but we in the end opted to switch banks to the more sheltered lee shore and try some slower drifts.
It seemed that the fish were deeper than we expected, in the bright calm conditions of the morning I had expected it but now with a good wave I was hoping for the fish to come up and switched lines to an intermediate, Mike stayed with the Di3 and started to catch up, landing four fish whilst I got a fat toffee.
We only connected with fish quite deep and well off shore for the most part, although Mike did pull one fish right after we deployed the drogue near the bank, he was busy fishing whilst I was still getting the boat into position, a somewhat aggressive competitive tactic but one that could be forgiven since I had delayed his departure in the morning and he was rather fired up.
We continued with things like this for much of the day, pulling fish but never really locating a solid concentration of them. The drift across the mouth of the bay opposite the hut was the most consistent and we did hook up on each drift at least once. The beauty of drift boat fishing being that if you can locate the right drift you can go back over the fish and hammer them on a good day.
After I switched back to a faster sinking line I was back in the game and took a couple more fish, one good one which we kept, partly as I haven’t eaten a trout in over ten years and rather felt like it and partly because I really wanted to see if our suspicions were correct and that the fish were in mid-water feeding on daphnia, I couldn’t really imagine any other reason for them to be out there.
The last hours were spent on fruitless drifts up in the pump house arm, all the way into the trees which only produced one small fish for the two hours that we were there. In the final hour Mike casually “adjusted” the alignment of his rod guides which had turned a tad skew, and there was quite a crack from the carbon fibre. I suggested that it sounded more as though he had broken the rod than adjusted it and he commented back that we would find out on the next cast. Which indeed we did when the lower section and the upper parted company without taking too much notice of the position of the ferrule.
Hence the comment early about the spare rod, which Mike rigged up , but being a couple of line weights lighter than the one he was using turned out to be something of a dog and the combination of the cold wind, the setting sun and the poor fishing up at that end of the dam had us heading back for shore.
I think we landed something in the region of sixteen fish between us for the day but we worked hard, covering a lot of water and I think that all things being equal it was something of a slow day. The float tubers who had stayed near the first inlet I think had as good or better fortune than us fishing the area we had vacated in the early morning calm.
The wind had turned bitter as we packed up and we were offered coffee by some new arrivals freshly cooked up on a gas stove and tasting like the finest cappuccinos after a long day afloat.
Fingers thawed around the mugs and the boat was packed away in short order and we headed home.
Cleaning the one fish taken proved the point, a few daphnia in its stomach and two crabs, one the size of a fifty cent piece, one couldn’t help but wonder if killing this fish didn’t put it out of its misery, I would imagine that a crab is a fairly uncomfortable thing to have stuck in one’s gullet. But there were daphnia in there and I suspect that most of the fish that we had taken out of the deeper water were feeding on them.
This freshwater crab was found in the stomach of the one fish we killed.
The killing flies for us varied but a dark brown nymph pattern and an orange blob on the hang worked for me, Mike did well with his favoured brown woolly bugger with a tan tail and also took a couple of fish on an orange fly.
The depth seemed more important than the pattern and fishing on the hang from the boat after a lengthy retrieve was definitely the most effective ploy for most of the day.
I suspect that the food sources near the bank have begun to wane as winter sets in and the fish have moved a little further out. The fish killed was full of eggs and spawning mode is just around the corner, focusing on the depths or the gravel shallows is likely to produce the goods in the next month I would imagine. But the venue remains our premiere stillwater and the fishing is still very good, certainly well worth a visit, just set your alarm and put it out of reach so that you can’t hit the snooze button when half asleep.

ApurvBollywood: Maan Gaye Mughal-E-Azam
Rating : 2/10Running Time : 146 MinutesRelease Date : 22nd August ‘08Director & Writer : Sanjay Chel ; Music : Anu MalikStarring : Rahul Bose, Mallika Sherawat, Paresh Rawal, Kay Kay Menon, Zakir HussainWhat desperate hardship could’ve forced actors like Kay Kay, Rahul Bose to be involved in such crap. Surely, the house or car they wanted to buy is not worth being associated in such mindless tripe ? Paresh and Mallika are not known to be too choosy at the best of times, but I expected better sense from Rahul and Kay Kay. You know there is something wrong with a film when they have a cheesy ‘boing boing’ kind of comic soundtrack to highlight their jokes, like an ancient American sitcom. It abounds in silly jokes, sleepwalking actors, item songs and cheap laughs and is a waste of the considerable talents at their disposal. The lack of a plot or elaborate sets means the film could not have taken more than 5 days to shoot or cost more than 5 crore. Mallika’s last film Ugli aur Pagli had the tagline 99 slaps, 1 kiss. This film could have alternate titles like ’99 stupid jokes and 3 silly songs’ or even ’99 close-ups of Mallika’s bust and 1 backless shot’. I gave it 3 only because I laughed thrice in the film. I spent the rest of the whole movie with my head in my hands. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.
Flabbergasted!!! Yes yes ofcourse about your rating how did u manage to give a 2??? :) Bee
i had hoped for a better review for this movie....and i had expectations from this movie as i had enjoyed PYAR KE SIDE EFFECTS....but u squashed it...m sure not watching this movie in theater

Fannie Mae's $126.9 Billion Loss, and Counting
It was another impressive three months at Fannie Mae, as Uncle Sam's mortgage finance company reported a fourth quarter loss of $16.3 billion. That wasn't quite as strong as the third quarter loss of $19.8 billion, but give Fannie's managers credit for trying.
"Americans cherish their independence. One interesting aspect of the spontaneous tea party movement is the constant invocation of the Founders and the prominence of the 'Don't Tread on Me' flag. ... Americans tend to see themselves as independent doers, not dependent victims. They don't like to be told, especially by those with fancy academic pedigrees, that they are helpless and in need of government aid. That's why the politically popular American big government programs -- Social Security, Medicare, veterans' benefits, student loans -- all make a connection between effort and reward. You get a benefit because you've worked for it. In contrast, Americans have loathed and rejected big government programs with no nexus between effort and reward. Welfare was begun in the 1930s to help widows with children, whose plight, as Russell Baker's memoir 'Growing Up' showed, was often dismal. But when welfare became a mass program to subsidize mothers who didn't work and to excuse fathers from responsibility for their actions, it became wildly unpopular. Bill Clinton recognized this when he signed welfare reform in 1996. ... Barack Obama, who has chosen to live his adult life in university precincts, sees ... Americans generally as victims who need his help, people who would be better off dependent on government than on their own. Most American voters don't want to see themselves that way and resent this condescension."

Extravagant promises of pensions, health care and other benefits made to an ever-growing number of government retirees means that an enormous bill looms in the not-too-distant future for states, say observers...
Since Medicaid is an entitlement with no statutory limit on spending, there is no limit to how much state officials can try to gain from the program, say Dr. Roger Stark, a policy analyst, and Colin Swanson, a research assistant...
Price controls for insurance or anything else simply won't work, says Michael F. Cannon, director of health policy studies at the Cato Institute...

Just Finished: Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes | The Young Adult Book Guide
Just Finished: Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
January 29, 2013 · by ravenousbiblioworm	· in Book Shelf.	·
Summary: In a land where magic has been forgotten but peace has reigned for centuries, a deadly unrest is simmering. Three kingdoms grapple for power—brutally transforming their subjects’ lives in the process. Amidst betrayals, bargains, and battles, four young people find their fates forever intertwined: Cleo: A princess raised in luxury must embark on a rough and treacherous journey into enemy territory in search of a magic long thought extinct. Jonas: Enraged at injustice, a rebel lashes out against the forces of oppression that have kept his country impoverished—and finds himself the leader of a people’s revolution centuries in the making. Lucia: A girl adopted at birth into a royal family discovers the truth about her past—and the supernatural legacy she is destined to wield. Magnus: Bred for aggression and trained to conquer, a firstborn son begins to realize that the heart can be more lethal than the sword. . ..
Notes: Dallas (that awful TV show) meets High Fantasy. Magic (very little at this point).
Other comments: Um… “If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” … I cannot resist saying this phrase. I’ll leave it at that though.

Educational quotes that inspire me | Freedom and Dreams
Educational quotes that inspire me
When I first read “Free Range Learning” and we went cold turkey into unschooling I kept a diary and I covered it with these quotes. Sometimes if I was having a ‘wobbly’ moment, all I would need to do was to read and absorb one of these, or a similar quote, take a few deep breathes…(OK and maybe have a bit of chocolate & a hug from one of the kids too) and I would be fine again and know that we were doing exactly the right thing for our kids.
There will be more, but here are some to get started!
Just as eating against one’s will is injurious to health, so is study without a liking for it spoils the memory and it retains nothing it takes in. – Leonardo Da Vinci
To find oneself, think for yourself – Socrates
Children learn individually, not in bunches. They learn out of curiosity and interest not to please an adult in power. They ought to be in control of their own learning, deciding for themselves what they want to learn and how they want to learn it. – John Holt
When you make the finding yourself, you never forget it – Carl Sagan
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives – John Holt
Much learning does not teach intelligence. – Heraclitus
A child has no stronger desire than to make sense of the world, to move freely in it and to do the things they see bigger people doing.
I don’t know where this is from, but it really says it all.
Just as a toddler loves to empty a peg bucket while you hang out the washing, older children still just want to play with the pegs. The pegs may look different that’s all. As their world expands and they see other people doing other new things, they just want to make sense of that. And so they learn….
