Whilst we are on the subject of Warwickshire …….. the Warwickshire Record Office has a range of online databases which would be very helpful to those with Warwickshire family.
Victuallers Database
The Victuallers database is a database containing details of licensed victuallers in Warwickshire from 1801-1828. The information has been taken from the series of registers of calendars of Victuallers' Recognizances held by the County Record Office.
Tithe Apportionments Database

New Web site Showcases CCC's Architectural Legacy in Texas state parks
AUSTIN, Texas — An ambitious new Web site called The Look of Nature: Designing Texas State Parks in the Great Depression explores the architectural heritage of the Civilian Conservation Corps still visible in state parks. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and Web design firm Terra Incognita created the site, funded in part by a National Endowment for the Arts grant.
The CCC was a depression-era federal program that put unemployed young men to work on public works projects across the country. President Franklin Roosevelt created the program in 1933, and it employed 2.5 million 17-to-25-year-old men and World War I veterans on nearly 3,000 camps across the country. Workers were paid $30 per month — $25 was sent directly to their families. As the economy began to rebound and World War II shifted national priorities, the program was ended during the summer of 1942. Between 1933 and 1942, some 50,000 CCC workers in Texas laid the groundwork for more than 50 parks across the state, 29 of which are operated by TPWD today.
"I encourage people to take time to look through The Look of Nature as they might an interactive museum," said Angela Reed, a TPWD historian who worked on the Web site. "While entertaining for the casual viewer, the site is also a practical tool for visitors to learn more about parks they might consider visiting."
Generous donors gave the ambitious project a big boost. From Dallas, the Hillcrest Foundation, founded by Mrs. W.W. Caruth, Sr. and the Roy and Christine Sturgis Charitable and Educational Trust provided funds for both the Web site and a traveling exhibit about CCC architecture. The project also won a prestigious design grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in national competition for funding.
This Web site contains historical information for all 29 CCC-built state parks in Texas operated by TPWD. Visitors can view archival CCC photos, vintage postcards, photographs of CCC artifacts, architectural drawings, and oral history videos. The site is divided into three sections: the Interactive Program, Park Profiles and Archives.
Clicking on the Interactive Program brings up four short documentary video chapters that contain 1930s film footage and photos of the CCC in Texas, as well as interviews about the CCC. The first and second videos, CCC and Texas State Parks and Camp Life, focus on how and why the CCC got started, and what daily life was like in the Corps. The third and fourth videos, Designing the Parks and The Legacy of the CCC, discuss the architectural design and construction of CCC buildings and features, as well as the urgency of preserving them for future generations.
Clicking on the Park Profiles link allows visitors to view the CCC history of a specific park and see which park buildings were constructed by the CCC, which companies were assigned there, and their dates of service.
The Archives link brings up a menu of more than 500 records collected for the Web site, including historic photographs of CCC workers, original objects that CCC enrollees used, architectural drawings and oral histories. You can narrow your search of visual records using a keyword or by searching by park name, date, or CCC company number. "It's fun to explore," said Cynthia Brandimarte, the Web site's Project Director. "You will find yourself returning to the Web site many times and then wanting to head out to visit one of the beautiful CCC parks."
News reporters can contact Cynthia Brandimarte at email@example.com or (512) 389-4464 to get more information about this aspect of Texas history, or to explore going to visit any of the 29 CCC-built state parks currently operated by TPWD.
PHOTOS from the National Archives showing CCC construction activity in Texas State Parks are available for news media use as high resolution .jpg files in the Civilian Conservation Corps news images download group on the TPWD Web site.

On Thursday, Oct. 24, 2013, Oak Mountain State Park near Birmingham will celebrate the grand opening of a new overlook and a long-awaited improvement to the back entrance gate on John Findley Drive. After a 10 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony at the newly renovated spillway bridge that leads into the back entrance, state, park and local officials will travel to the Peavine Recreation Area Overlook platform to show off the view.
The public and media are invited to attend the grand opening. For more information about the event, contact Emily Cook, Park Naturalist, at 205-620-2520 or by email at email@example.com.
Located atop the mountain, the new Peavine Recreation Area Overlook platform is approximately one-quarter mile from the Peavine Falls parking lot.
According to Adam Sample, Oak Mountain's acting superintendent, views from the platform are spectacular. "This spot offers a panoramic view of Birmingham," he said. "On a clear day, you can see from the Galleria to Vulcan and beyond."
A new trail has been constructed in conjunction with the overlook. The Fire Pit Trail begins near the overlook and is approximately one-half mile long. Both facilities are Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant and offer people with physical disabilities access to the trail and the overlook.
Prior to its renovation, the spillway bridge on John Findley Drive that leads into the back entrance of the park was submerged under about a foot of water. The road has been elevated and leveled to better accommodate RV and pedestrian traffic to the Upper Lake section of the park, which includes the main campground.
"Both the spillway and overlook projects were accomplished in part thanks to the various partnerships that Oak Mountain has been fortunate enough to foster over the years," said Greg Lein, Director of Alabama State Parks. "Our partners are not only our visitors, but community organizations such as chambers of commerce, civic organizations, and city and county governments that make these improvements possible."
The spillway bridge project is a partnership between Oak Mountain State Park and Shelby County. The Peavine Recreation Area Overlook and Fire Pit Trail Project is a partnership between Oak Mountain State Park, Shelby County, the Birmingham Urban Mountain Peddlers and the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs through a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant from the National Park Service.
"These partners are the ones who support Alabama State Parks' efforts to provide recreational activities for all to enjoy, and we thank them," Lein said.
The Alabama State Parks Division operates and maintains 22 state parks encompassing approximately 48,000 acres of land and water. These Parks rely on visitor fees and the support of other Partners like local communities to fund the majority of their operations. Partners Pay the Way.

Inaugural B1G Hockey schedule released
MADISON, Wis. -uwbadgers.com- Wisconsin men's hockey and the Big Ten look ahead to a new era with today's release of the 2013-14 schedule.
Wisconsin looks to make a grand debut when it returns a group of 16 seniors and juniors from a team the captured the WCHA playoff title and skated as one of the nation's top teams over the final four months of this past season.
The veteran Badgers get a chance to ease into the 2013-14 campaign with two series in October and three series in both November and December.
The Badgers open their slate on Friday, Oct. 11, with a Kohl Center game against WCHA-member Northern Michigan. The teams meet again the following day to finish off the season-opening weekend.
A trip to Boston to take on Boston College (Oct. 18) and Boston University (19) opens UW's road schedule, before a bye week brings the Badgers to a home series against WCHA-member Lake Superior State (Nov. 1-2). A second bye week follows, setting up UW's road trip to Miami (Nov. 15-16).
UW opens its first Big Ten season on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 29-30, at arch-rival Minnesota.
UW's first home Big Ten games take place the following weekend when Penn State returns to the Kohl Center on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6-7.
The Penn State series ushers in a 12-game home stretch that takes the Badgers through just shy of two months' worth of home contests. National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC)-member Colorado College visits on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 13-14, before the holiday break. Then WCHA-member Alabama Huntsville visits, to close out 2013 on Friday and Saturday, Dec. 27-28.
The new year opens with the WCHA's Alaska Anchorage on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 3-4, before the Badgers return to Big Ten action.
League action heats up with visits by Michigan (Jan. 10-11) and Ohio State (Jan. 24-25), which also happen to close out Wisconsin's extended homestand.
After a trip to Michigan (Jan. 31-Feb. 1), Wisconsin plays host to Minnesota on Friday, Feb. 7, while the second game of the series will either take place on Thursday, Feb. 6 or Saturday, Feb. 8. That is to be determined.
Wisconsin's final home contests take place on Friday and Saturday, Feb. 21-22, against Michigan State.
The 2014 Big Ten Men's Ice Hockey Tournament, which includes all six league schools, runs Thursday through Saturday, March 20-22 at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minn.
NCAA regionals run the following weekend, from March 28-30, in St. Paul, Minn., Cincinnati, Bridgeport, Conn., and Worcester, Mass.
The 2014 NCAA Men's Frozen Four returns to Pennsylvania for the second-consecutive season, but this time at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

In my experience, any "brand name" earmuff protector will do the job.
Get the ones which are tapered at the bottom of the earcups, so you can lay your head down on your shoulder or on a stock without interference.
The more you spend, the more comfortable and the more soundproof they'll be...within limits. Go to a store and try them on, before buying, since one may be better suited to your body than another.

The GOP's technology deficit
posted at 4:28 pm on February 4, 2013 by Guy Benson
Plenty of ink has been spilled analyzing the Republican Party's problems with minority voters — Hispanics, in particular — and the adverse ripple effects of fielding poor candidates. Relatively scant attention has been focused on another serious political deficiency that has placed the party at a distinct competitive disadvantage in recent cycles: A very real tech gap. The Washington Examiner's Charlie Spierling scratched the surface of this issue over the weekend:
After Obama won in 2008, Republicans invested in social media, realizing they had no serious presence on Twitter or Facebook. By election 2010, these investments paid off, as activists proudly flexed their social media muscles. Their message was clear, and their supporters were fired up for victory. And that's all wonderful, but the person with the most Twitter followers or Facebook "likes" doesn't necessarily win the election. In 2012, Obama outclassed Republicans in the tech sphere because his campaign had something less visible than social media — a robust culture of technology. Technology is not a "secret sauce" or a computer gimmick — some app that magically makes you win. Technology is nothing but accomplishing goals with fewer people faster. The Obama campaign had a key grasp of that concept — it was baked into the organizational culture from the very beginning. Ever since Obama challenged Hillary Clinton's campaign in the 2008 Democratic primary, his campaign had been forced to think of cheaper and more efficient ways to organize people and move voters and donors. His camp had a group of inspired young supporters and developers eager to join the cause. By 2012, the Obama campaign was innovating in ways Republicans could not, thanks to its institutional knowledge of its supporters.
This underscores an ironic but accurate observation — though Barack Obama is incapable of (and uninterested in) running a lean, efficient, modern federal government, the same cannot be said of his two successful presidential campaigns. Five years ago, he did more with less in order to bring down the vaunted Clinton machine during the primaries, then used the ensuing surge of momentum to utterly bury Team McCain in almost every facet of the campaign. Since his '08 triumph, he's insisted on staying on the cutting edge of the technological curve, making smart investments and hiring top flight personnel along the way. Attracting quality tech people has been a significant and enduring obstacle for Republicans; tech-savvy political consultant/strategist Liz Mair offers a candid diagnosis as to why. Be sure to click her embedded hyperlinks, too:
These days, just about everyone fancies themselves a digital guru of some sort, but in practice we have a lot more of these than we do these in the party. And it was a huge problem in 2012, because the Obama guys had this. No amount of planning to conduct Skype sessions or Google + hangouts with activists or really cool plans to do snazzy demographically-targeted Facebook ads (hint: My mother can do those, too) or Internet radio advertising is going to overcome that basic deficiency. What will is actually recruiting genuine technologists from, you know, tech companies to come work on GOP campaigns. But this is something the GOP isn't doing as well at as we should, for a couple of reasons. First, people who are building the future at Microsoft or Google or Facebook or Apple or Intel or Amazon or wherever are likely earning quite a lot more than they would at, say, the RNC. They also likely have a lot more ability to secure budget for items they deem essential to spend on than your average RNC New Media Director does, and potentially less paperwork entailed to actually get the money. So only diehard Republicans would likely entertain a mere discussion about leaving and going to work there, unless the party committee starts allocating a lot more money for its New Media Director position and operations.
Second, suffice to say, there aren't a lot of those diehards out there. The GOP, more than Democrats on the whole, has appeared disinterested in technology and technology policy issues that directly affect the tech sector. Moreover, certain policies the GOP has advocated or been seen to advocate are noxious to a lot of people in the tech world. Opposition to more legal immigration, which you get from some more loudmouthed conservatives and conservative-oriented groups like FAIR, is not a seller in Silicon Valley or Redmond. Opposition to gay marriage similarly is not. The Paulite end of the party actually has a fair number of fans in the tech sector (check out Google personnel's 2012 donations if you don't believe me), but the Rick Santorum/Todd Akin portion is, well, not helpful for getting the actual talent you'd want on board to take a good look at potentially getting on board, in a hands on, day-to-day, active way. Third, even if you overcome these things, a lot of what is culturally normal on political campaigns is anathema in the business world, and the tech sector specifically. A three-day turnaround to get a new website approved? Literally, the standard approvals process is roughly as scary to your average technologist as waking up in bed with his mother-in-law, naked.
I don't agree with every jot and tittle in Mair's piece, but it absolutely merits a careful read. The broad thrust of her message rings true, even if one doesn't share every one of her policy judgments. Self-evaluations must be brutally honest, or else they become fruitless (and dangerous) exercises in self-delusion.

Bad body work /cars with hidden surprises
Has any one bought a car that looked great then found out after the fact it had some very terrible body work done to it? Or just seen some body work that was terrible post up some pics or tell some stories.
This is without a doubt as common as any other hack repair work done to vehicles just to sell them...I have seen filler over 4 inches thick in the quarter panel of a Dodge Dart, the complete bottom of a car carved in fiberglass, street signs used for floor boards...The worst I think I ever saw was the shaft of hockey sticks wedged into both A pillars on a 66 Nova to hide the rust. It was covered with fiberglass and body filler... even parts of the windshield channel where metal pop riveted to whatever metal was left and filled with filler. It happens every day and it's pure and total abuse.
Buddy of mine bought a 59 chevy sedan delivery car looked great had shaved handles and all mouldings shaved.Bought new quarter mldgs to put on upon discovery they had filed the body lines up solid with filler over an inch of filler the car was straight to. He wanted to put the door handles back in it as well once he started doing that he discovered they put aluminum tape over door handle hole and lock cylinder and mudded right over it . Car was straight and looked good he is a body man by trade told him he needs to strip the rest of the car now to make sure there isnt any other hidden surpises!
This also reminds me of a shop that I knew many many years ago...he used to do paint jobs for used car lots and cut the paint with leaded gasoline instead of reducer...it would shine like no tomorrow, for about 2 weeks and die off in a hurry..the lot had 2 weeks to sell the car.
Lets get some pictures posted!!!!!!!!!!!!1
A friend of mine (first time 'bodyman') fixing up an old VW bug, used some filler to smooth out some small dents above the headlight on the drivers side. He kept adding filler and shaping it until he thought it looked right. I told him it looked like it had an eyelid above the headlight - when he compared it to the passenger side, he realized what he had done, but liked the way it looked, so he added filler to the passenger side!
OH Bob, first off, did you ever get that bump stop intalled? Still thinking about that...
Your VW story reminds me of the old days when instead of shortening the rear end and tubing a car they used to cut the wheel wells our and flair the quarter so they could stuff fat tires underneath...I never did get that and thought it looked like crap...how many nice cars got ruined all because of needing to have fat tires...My buddy had a 68 Chevelle, nice strong little 350 car, clean but had to put the L 60 X 15's on the back and the only way was to either lift it up in the air or cut the quarter, he cut the quarter...What a waste.
Im working on a Shelby right now that did not look too bad when it came in, had some blistering rust holes here and there as they usually do. Sent it out to the blaster and when I went to pick it up, boy was it a mess. The rear quarters were so patched up with pieces from other cars, all welded and pop riveted with fiberglass pieces holding the inner wheelwells together. The driver side quarter was hit by the tailight and instead of pulling it all out they just muded the whole thing together (some spots 1 inch thick) and the best part was the trunk drop on that side had 3 inch thick foam pop riveted into a piece of sheetmetal. Needless to say it all had to be cut out and replaced with all fresh sheetmetal.
terrible bodywork is often times what the customer asks for. They think the stuff is easy so they go hire these crack tweaks and generally don't know what to ask for or look for in qualifications. These poor victims are the guys that go into your shop and have a heart attack when you tell them the cost of the repair. So they look for "cheaper" ways and end up getting the short end of the stick. You also got "buddies" who do bodywork. I'm sure we all heard that before. Or what about the car flippers who tell their victims in a russian accent, "It's a salvage title but just a little front end damage, nothing major."
The "flipper" is the one that takes vehicles with extensive frame damage and with nothing more than a telephone pole and 15 feet of chain, wraps the frame in the chain and proceeds to back up as rapidly as possible to bring the frame close enough to hang used sheet metal from it making door gaps close enough to open the door and if the gap is to wide, nothing more to the fix than than carve 3/16 of an inch extra to the panel out of fiberglass. If the gap is to small, a grinder will shorten that panel much quicker than getting proper measurements on the frame to achieve fit and finish.
And then there's the "flipper" that imports vehicles from another Province "Canada" or state where rust is a major concern. No salvage title, the car looks great, but structurally the car is a hazard. In Canada most vehicles brought in from another Province need to be mechanically and structurally certified before they can be licensed...this should, one would think, eliminate dangerous vehicles being put on the road when buying a vehicle from one of these rust prone areas. Not the case.
12 years ago I was involved in a situation where the wife of a former employer of mine was in the market for a 95 Camaro (the car was only 5 years old at the time)...I was asked if I would help her find a suitable Camaro and I agreed...I checked local reputable dealerships, gave her a call and said that I had found 4 or 5 that we could go and look at. I was told at the time that she had just purchased a white 95 Camaro and all was well. I said OK great (now my Saturday was free). A month later she called me and asked if I could adjust the driver's side door for her because it was getting more and more difficult to open and close. My radar went off and I agreed to "look" at the car. When I got to see the car I opened the door and as it opened it dropped at least 2 inches. I lifted up on the door (hoping I would see loose pins and bushings in the hinges), this moved the front fender...same situation on the passenger side, the door pillars where completely rotted out. We brought the vehicle to the shop and lifted it up in the air...The rear frame rails where so bad, by tapping them with a hammer we put holes in the frame. This car had been certified so it only gets better.
We drove the car to shop that certified it and they said that at the time they certified it there was nothing wrong with the vehicle, (it had been certified about 45 days previously). I asked who the government insurance agent was for that area and I wanted him to see the car. After much hesitation and a little song and dance all I got was a name and we where told to leave which we did. I called the agent and he mentioned that he knew the shop that certified the car well and that they where very reputable. I told him that if that was the case he wouldn't mind meeting us there so he could physically look at the car himself and make up his own mind...he agreed. At the shop we put the car up in the air and we showed him the door pillars, frame rails and the rust scales on the underneath of the floor...I couldn't believe what I heard, the insurance agent said it was surface rust and nothing to worry about...I took a blunt screwdriver, poked it through the floor and said "surface rust?" The insurance guy then asked me how long I had been in the trade and if I knew what I was doing, because if I had any experience at all I would notice that the doors had no rust at all and if rust was an issue that is where it would show...I told him that the bumper covers didn't have rust either and that if he had any experience at all he would know that they where both made of plastic.
We ended up suing the used car lot, the inspection station and the government insurance...it was settled that the purchase price of the car was refunded. The used car lot lost there license, the inspection station lost their privilege to do inspections and the insurance agent was given an opportunity to be successful some place else...(they fired him).
It just goes to show that just because a car has a salvage title, doesn't mean it not road worthy, or, on the other side of the coin, just because a car is certified doesn't mean it is road worthy...The old adage, buyer beware, is alive and well. If someone is buying a used car that doesn't have a good deal of knowledge about vehicles should bring people with them that do, not just the mechanic guy, the body guy as well, and make sure the people that they bring with them are credible.
|The Following User Says Thank You to 69 widetrack For This Useful Post:
tech69 (12-05-2012)
My rust free Florida 1989 cargo Astro van had a previous owner that pounded down apart of the wheel well for more foot room.It tore a opening in the wheel well.Once I tore out the rubber mat I was disappointed in what I found.The padding soaked up all the water that got in there and rusted out the floor board.
Oh well.It will be right once I'm done with it.
Ray, Still haven't installed the bump stops - car is at the trimmers getting upholstery done. I'll have plenty of time this winter to get them installed. Thanks for asking. I saw some information about "rubber springs" - large progressively cushioned rubber spring boosters - in a variety of sizes/firmness. They make huge ones that supplement the springs in a truck for hauling/towing. The smaller ones might also function like the progressive bumpstops I was thinking of. Might have some application for your project. Search for rubber springs.

Johnson, Ruddins and Kessler Earn USC Athlete of the Week Honors
Sept. 16, 2013
LOS ANGELES - Women's soccer forward Katie Johnson and women's volleyball outside hitter Elise Ruddins shared USC Women's Student-Athlete of the Week honors, while Cody Kessler of football was named Men's Student-Athlete of the Week.
USC Women's Student-Athletes of the Week: Sophomore Katie Johnson became the first Trojan since 2010 to tally a hat trick with her three goals in the first 19 minutes of play vs. LMU. That outing matched her entire scoring total from her freshman season, as she now holds four total goals now seven games into her sophomore season. Johnson's three goals vs. LMU helped USC match its highest game scoring total since 2010, when the Trojans last scored five in a game. The win snapped a two-game skid by USC, which is now 4-2-1 overall this season.
USC Women's Student-Athletes of the Week: USC freshman outside hitter Elise Ruddins earned Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honors after posting a strong weekend for the Women of Troy at the USD Tournament, where she earned a spot on the all-tournament team. In a four-set win over UC Santa Barbara, Ruddins carried the load for USC as she posted 24 kills (6e, 43att) and hit an impressive .419. She averaged six kills per set and had nine in the first set alone. Later the same day, Ruddins logged 14 kills (53, 27att) and hit .333 to help the Trojans sweep Eastern Washington in three sets. In her two matches, she had 38 kills (5.43 kps) and scored 39.0 points (5.57 pps).
USC Men's Student-Athlete of the Week: Redshirt sophomore quarterback Cody Kessler led the Trojans to a 35-7 victory over visiting Boston College on Saturday. In his first game after being named the season starter, Kessler was near perfect in his passing accuracy, at one point completing 14 consecutive passes, including a touchdown bomb to wide receiver Marqise Lee. He finished the game 15-of-17 (88.2%) for 237 yards and two touchdowns through three-plus quarters, before being relieved by backup Max Wittek after the first offensive series of the fourth quarter.

You can almost feel the water. Amazing!
Nice job, Patrick!
For those wondering...it's a marble!
splash doesn't look very realistic, but nice texture for the water
Patrickspens not only has done a great job with capturing the look of the water mid splash, but that odd, yellow cat's eyes look that the middle of marbles often have.
Not two seconds before this shirt was released, I facebooked how I was unable to escape the physics. Damn you, Woot, I know I have fluid dynamics homework to do! You don't need to publish a shirt to remind me of that
But still, this is a gorgeous design and I'm probably going to get it anyway
It's amazing! I felt the water!

Judging by the displaced water, I'm venturing to say that the marble entered the surface at a velocity higher than that of just gravity.
Is is just me or does that look like a Dragon Ball?
The write-up for this is absolutely gorgeous. It makes me wish I hadn't lost all my marbles ages ago.
You know what I mean. XD
Hello shirt.woot. Excellent design accompanied by a pleasant suited for the holidays parable. Nice.

This makes zero sense, just fyi.
So where's the math? Name doesn't count in my book.
As I understand it, gravity is a force, which can cause an acceleration on an object such as a marble, and the acceleration can cause the marble to increase in velocity until it reaches terminal velocity... are you saying it appears to have entered the water at a velocity greater than terminal velocity?
I think it would be better if the design was larger. It doesn't take up enough of the shirt for my taste
This write up makes me think of Frog and Toad! Simply briliant. Once again I wish that somehow the write up was ON the shirt...
I generally don't comment on non-product things here, but I have to agree with the others… the copy here was absolutely bril.
I love this guys shirt designs. I've already got 2 of them and I'd jump on this if I weren't completely broke.
Woot shirts are sucking a little less than usual lately.
Its cute I suppose but A) it has no math in it at all and B) it is not physically accurate, that is, if we are to treat the marble he has drawn as it appears then the amount of splash is inaccurate AND the distance for which it has traveled in the water compared to the height of the splash is inaccurate. Doesn't really make any sense, but I guess its nice otherwise, just a bit disappointing considering the limitless possibility for math-themed shirts.
I so love the colors. And the water. And the marble. ...I guess I love all of it.
I gotta say, I thought it was a falling leaf at first. Then I slapped myself and it all made sense.
The write-up for this one is so good that it actually brought me out of my lethargy to write this comment. Good job, Woot writer(s).
I know it's a marble, but it reminds me of Metroid.
Patrickspens is Woot derby consistency. The water, the marble, and the halftone shading are all perfect.
I only read the write-up because of the comment from yptrumpet. Good gravy, that's a great write up. I think I'm teraing up a bit.
This shirt is pretty cool, but no offense, the story should be made into an illustrated, children's book. You're wasting your talent on SHIRTS!?!??? Go be a famous children's author, that write-up almost made me tear up and I'm a jerk. If this is made into a book, I'll be the first to buy it, no BS.
Looks likes someone threw a fortune cookie in the water.
I bought the shirt so I could steal the description and send them together to a friend.

Every season a number of Arsenal players go out on loan to gain valuable first-team experience. The 2011/12 campaign is no different and five young Gunners are currently away from the Club.
Arsenal.com track their progress throughout the season. Our Arsenal's Loanees page offers an overview of all the players and below is the latest instalment of our Loan Watch feature with reports from their latest matches.
James Shea
Bournemouth 5-0 Dag & Red
Wednesday, August 10
James Shea made his first start for Dagenham and Redbridge on Tuesday as his new loan side went down 5-0 at Bournemouth in the Carling Cup. The young goalkeeper, who is on a season-long loan at the League Two side, started well and made good early saves to deny Marc Pugh and Adam Barrett. But League One Bournemouth proved too strong for Dagenham and found the net five times to progress into the next round.

PS. that quote at the end is priceless !!
Great posts guys!
People in "general" do not put a value on our work because most of the time we do not. I did two wall murals with A LOT of detail. These murals were 8'x12 and 8'x10'. I charged $1,300 for both. Yes, they are my wife's daycare parents. I gave them a great deal! I spent over 60 hours over a four week period (in my spare time). People are still complimenting the work...two years later. I am very detail oriented and hate doing quick simple work (my flaw).
What's going to happen if they ever move? You guessed it. People that want it done ask how much and then their eyes get big. I have been doing this for years and I don't care if they don't like the price. I am still reasonable for my area (Orange County, CA). My first experience when I was 17. I painted an oil painting of a snow scene with a snow owl chasing a rabbit. The guy I painted it for asked me to not sign it and write it on the back. He later signed his name to it and told people he did it. That jaded me for a while.
I like to do things for people once in a while, but your time does = value.
Yes, it is something we enjoy, but our time is worth something.
If we do not put value on our work, most will not have regard or respect for the effort/work we put into it. Yes, it is work, but what we enjoy doing. Does that make it worth less? I don't think so and neither should anyone else.
That would be great if I can get the Mechanic to fix my car for $30 bucks!

Job, going through that thread made alot of sense to me and would for you also. I'm in practice mode 95% of the time so I feel I'm learning. Though I could draw or render again like you have been doing, the results would be quite different as each day went on, yours tend to stay on the same course as in style which is good since they can know what to expect in a finished product. Most of yor stuff looks just like it was done with an illustration program for print IMO but done by hand which is very cool.
Some of the guys like DV and others that talked in that thread are big graphic designers and all the way down to a kid doing a favor, I see where guys like DV must be cringing at the thoughts of 10 or 30 bucks a logo when he's in a business as a designer. So many elements are included from schooling to your workstati0n that he most definately has to charge at least a minimal fee.
My friends have always offered something from a simple lunch at the track or in some cases money, but they are few and far between.
I look at "FREE" this way, if you make something that costs nothing, it's worth nothing in most peoples eyes. Much of what is being as a gift is also just something that could either be cherished or discarded depending on the person, seems a little bitter but I have done this myself.
I think I should have learned a lesson doing a favor for a sponsor of a race, who wanted a full front / back flyer contaning photos of all the top twenty racers, descriptions and custon backgrounds, I was on it for months preparing this only to find he did not follow through and even use this, it was very good IMO also. I think that was a turning pont for me personally as would be for anyone that feels a passion for art or illustration.
Mark, I think you've hit the nail on the head with regards as to how much to charge someone, friend or not.
I'm still having trouble putting a price on my work. I'll talk to one guy & say a price & they'll virtually bite my hand off, but I'll talk to another guy & I get a look that makes me feel like I just insulted his mother.
DViestra mentioned $60 per hour for quality detailed work.
I've charged some people the same amount for the finished piece - that works out about $12 - $15 per hour.
I know I haven't done myself any favours, but I enjoy the work I do (I hope it shows) & if I wanted some guy to draw my pride & joy, I wouldn't like to feel ripped off. I try and put myself in their shoes & think 'how much can I afford?/How much is it worth?'
Usually, I'll explain that they'll get to see the finished item before they pay, which almost anyone would agree is the right way to do it, but if they decide they don't like it, I'll be out of pocket.
I think I may have to raise my prices, but I feel I'll lose work by doing so.

DV, I see well what he / she ? said. Many good points. I'm under the impression that I fall into the category as a "hack" which was mentioned in some of the posts. In a way I am, I've actually felt the hurt as a photographer and writer of the "I can do it cheaper or quicker" clan that has befallen our sport. Mainly Drag Racing in general.
Point and shooters aren't there to capture moments a frame at a time of someones accomplishments during that day and do it correctly as it is comparable to what is being talked about in the logo discussion.
I feel, had I listened closer to my partner we would be much better off when it came to sales. I now have over 9,000 in equipment just sitting since I resigned my position. Some really don't care about the quality or how it was used to make them appear larger than life on the internet.
Funny how all this got started with graphics, just a hobby and still is for me. I wouldn't want to be one of those that opens the door for lowballing like in the conversations in that topic.
Since I knew many of the racers I did signatures ( the small images below peoples names ) which some boards don't allow but many in the racing community use them for advertising their shops, never considering a cost factor, I'm talking hundreds of them BTW.
I think this is where I became "cheap" to ask for anything. I've rarely charged for a photo or artwork prior and this is still a freebie. I did spend quite some time goigback and forth with the person, whom is a friend, but in time spent; it was quite a bit.
I spent hours looking for images of playing cards until I realized I have a freakin camera and just cut them out and "tooned" them a bit. Each font was created by hand as an image, and that $1,600 Photoshop CS3 was in use plus my $3,500 box. I see where the logo guys are coming from.
I thank you for the comments about the work, it's an honor to hear it from someone of your stature BTW. I know what you do and the amount of programs and computer power it takes, which also costs money in your high end of work.
The original images were all done in 20X16 300DPI and resized as small as I could for the net. My goal is still just to express myself in this type of art form as often as I can.
Sincerely Mark
I judge by the time and detail. Minimum should be no lower than $60. per hour for "quality detailed" work. I know it was your friend and that is Okay.
But you can make some money at what you love. Most everyone will expect
cheap prices. I tell them to go buy some clip art and put it together themselves if they want it cheap.
I guess people expect it to be cheap because you are good at it and you love what you are doing. They may even think it is easy for you and you should do it for nothing. I get this often. My prices are very reasonable. Some see the value in it and some don't. All depends on their budget. I sometimes will work out a budgeted amount and give them what's within their budget.
Doing work for $20, $30 bucks (an hours work for example)...is desperation and it hurts all artists and devalues their craft, talent, and hard work.
Only Racing, the piece you posted I would expect $150 and no less.
Not sure if the Cards are clip art or if you drew them yourself. If you did, then
the price could go up a bit.
EDIT: The better you are the more you can charge and the demand for your work will only go up.
Read these posts: Graphic Forum please read Omengeorge post.
Hope this gives you better insight.
|Only Racing
I honestly don't know what a logo wuld be worth, I did this as a favor for a friend that needed somethng for his car shows for a Full trailor decal in a wrap or sticker as some would call it, T Shirt, web header, signature, flyers and whatever else could be thought of. Kind of a quickie he didn't mind the busy, he wanted colorfull since the car is Blue with flames and alot of chrome. Nothing else was mentioned other than wanting his car slid in below it. I like it on the black background but he has the white copy he's going to use. Any thoughts on the value of this and all of its uses mentioned above, I'm not looking for business just an opinion, I know it's overdone also, lol.
|Only Racing
I agree with that DVierstra, (please if you will tell me how to pronouce that name!!). I did do almost anything for free and turned out some decent stuff over the years mainly as a writer and photographer. Now I'm playing with graphics and I am no where near the level so many are now, it's amazing the work some guys can do. But you do have to sit down and do a design. Logo seems so miniscule in nature of words. One properly designed can be multi purpose for almost anything.
lowROLLERchevy has his hands full, almost anything would work but since it's so wide open from a T Bucket to a Taurus, it's hard to explain on a message board.
It all depends on creativity and years of experience to give you exactly what you are looking for. 79C10 is on the mark. I have beat this subject about art, logos and such to death on this forum.
Most people may disagree...you get what you pay for.
|I like this one. It looks good in B & W as 79C10 said. It also looks good on the door of an old chev p/u.
i like the t bucket idea, but RPM already uses something similar
Well, seeing as this is a Hot Rod forum, I thought I'd toy with that idea...
It's a 'work in progress', but let me know what you think...

Eyeglasses wearers?
Archery is still new to me and I am finding it hard to focus through my eyeglasses,as I am far sighted.The 5 pin Tru Glo sight I have puts the first row of pins 2.5" from the riser at it's longest when mounted regularly but I managed to increase that to 3" by using the two threaded accessory holes with a shim to ensure tightness, since I was bolting two threaded pieces together.I did this to see if it would put the pins farther into the range where my vision of the pins is not blurry.Being farsighted means my glasses make the target clear but the pins blurry.I take them off to read as well.It seems that every little bit helps but I think that putting the pins another 6" out for a total of 9" would be the ticket.I am going to experiment with this idea tomorrow by rigging up a home made sight at that length.
So,Im wondering if anyone else here has this problem and how they deal with it.Again,the pins are so blurry that my 10 and 20 yard pins blur together. Lasic surgery is not an option for me and I'm not thrilled about the idea of contacts either;they would probably not cure the problem as the prescription would presumably be the same anyway,so lets assume I'm stuck with glasses.

I had a same type of problem and went from several pins (4) to a slider sight with a scope that has a .29 fiber optic and is also a 4 x scope. I do have the sight bar out about 5 inches, but can go to 9 if needed. This setup has worked great so far, I purchased use a toxonics sight (nail driver model ) used $120 and the sight scope was $100 used off of ebay....Bill Olmesdahl

Thanks guys!
Wow,lots of great advice.All three responses are worth checking out.I like the verifier peep concept and might try that first.As I'm a tinkerer and have never left anything stock,a design for making my own slider sight has been rattling around in my head since first getting my bow.My wife has been bugging me to try bifocal contacts for awhile and knowing that a bowhunter uses them with success may just push me to follow through.Heck,if I do all three,I won't be able to miss,hehe.
Thanks again!

Arsène Wenger does not expect Manchester City to have things all their own way as they look to defend their league crown.
Roberto Mancini's side claimed their first-ever Premier League title in dramatic fashion last season, lifting the trophy after Sergio Aguero's stoppage-time winner on the final day of the campaign.
But Wenger, no stranger to success having guided Arsenal to three titles, thinks the champions face a significant challenge to retain their title.
"It changes a bit because, first of all, you have done it," the Frenchman told Arsenal Player. "Sometimes to do it again is harder. Everybody wants to beat you. The focus needs to be there."
Arsenal suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat in last season's corresponding fixture at the Etihad Stadium but Wenger is confident his team have improved considerably in the following nine months.
"I would be tempted to say yes that we are better now," he said. "Last year we were in a different position when we went up there, but it was a very close game.
"It is always interesting to go into these big games because you have the championship and then you have the big games. It's always interesting to watch your team.
"I am confident because we have quality, experience and a huge desire to do well together. That has a big impact in big games."

Now that's BS, I simply told them to go find my gun send it back "UNrepaired" so I could trade the piece of crap off for a new Glock. I should have listened to my friends in the first place.

| Chrome to Phase Out h.264 Codec for video Tag
...we are changing Chrome's HTML5 video support to make it consistent with the codecs already supported by the open Chromium project. Specifically, we are supporting the WebM (VP8) and Theora video codecs, and will consider adding support for other high-quality open codecs in the future. Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies.
These changes will occur in the next couple months but we are announcing them now to give content publishers and developers using HTML video an opportunity to make any necessary changes to their sites.

So far our goose season has been a blast, lots of geese in the area,
best goose hunting the boys and I have had! Little or no pressure to the birds we've been hunting
They've worked really well. Had the opportunity to hunt with our local warden,neat Guy to hunt with!
We had a great weekend last weekend, boys even shot a coyote that snuck in on us!
Here's a few pics from the weekend and some duck hunts:

I also learned to pick up my extras with extra money only, such as my beekeeping brings in, and never use direct income for non-essentials
We think the weeding of the beggars should be much stronger. There's the argument.
and raise the bar when soliciting renters in the future.
Question for Tbeek. If you ran a business and hired a new employee who you knew would add 30,000 per year to your income, would you still pay him 50,000 per year and go broke, or would you send him home, or reduce his wages.
Can't say I've ever blamed anyone 'less-fortunate' for my problems.
Thank You. That is a partial answer.Now, you say you wouldn't take it back from him, so that leaves 2 alternatives. To complete the answer, would you go broke or send him away? Eventually, as you add other equal employees, that will be the ONLY alternatives.As for your other responses, no links you have posted have had anything to do with what YOU, TBEEK, would do. That was my question.
BB, door's open and the coffee pot's on. I think we believe a lot of the same thing, but with different ways of expressing.
Luvin, click on my name. It is, as JBG said, there. Your profile says N?A, I guess that means not available, or """NEVER ASK"". :evil: :-D

A thought I had a few weeks ago on a measurable value outcome of switching to social computing reflects a common situation in our company: mailing large files around. Simply said, many enterprise mail systems such as Lotus Notes allow the central administrator to set a limit on attached file sizes.
By imposing a limit around say 4MB, and redirecting people to use Lotus Connections Files to share large documents, you save: a) network bandwidth usage; and b) storage of multiple copies on local drives and on mail servers.
LC Files on the other hand adds lots of other benefits like re-sharing without re-forwarding the files, comments w/o re-forwarding, and lookups on who it is shared with (or not).
This activity may not be practically measurable per person when you have many thousands of people. On the other hand you can measure the quantity of documents and their file sizes, on the email system versus LC. What it comes down is a known (or knowable) IT cost factor of $ per MB. IT departments could show the cost savings directly due to reduced infrastructure use and resource impact.
What it does change is user behavior. The first necessary element is a tool that can automatically redirect where the document is stored (a link to it on LC Files) rather than the email. The second part is enforcement through the file size limit. You really need the redirector to work smoothly so people do not see this as a burdensome task.
So in a direct way, you have a measurable outcome related to
hard $ amounts. This kind of alternative mechanism works easily for files, and
is still just a basic step in moving towards enterprise social computing. Slowly,
but surely.
What I'd be additionally interested in is looking at the trends of how re-sharing occurs after such a switch. It's pretty common to see people re-forwarding a file to others but this allows a better alternative. In a limited sense, it can also improve security: if the user does not allow publicly share a document, it may be limited to only those they intend. Of course, there are always alternatives and other mailers but it's good manners to keep to their request.

Former Ohio Gov. Gilligan dies
CINCINNATI, Ohio (WTVN) -- Former Ohio Gov. John Gilligan died at his Cincinnati home following a long illness. He was 92.
Gilligan served one term at Ohio governor from 1971 to 1975.
During Gilligan's administration, Ohio adopted a graduated state income tax to overcome budget shortfalls.
Gilligan also saw the implementation of the state lottery during his time in office, although he opposed it. In 1973, the state legislature and the governor concurred to lower the voting age to eighteen years, and Gilligan also secured funding to improve Ohio's transportation infrastructure. The governor sought reelection in 1974, but he lost to former governor James Rhodes.
The Democrat served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1947.
Gilligan began his political career in 1953 when he won a seat on Cincinnati City Council. He served for a decade before winning election to Congress representing Ohio's 1st District. He lost re-election in 1967 and ran for U.S. Senate in 1968. He lost that race, but was elected governor in 1970.
Gilligan was the director of the U.S. Agency for International Development from 1977 to 1979 and taught at several universities. In 1999 he was elected to the Cincinnati School Board.
Gilligan's daughter, Kathleen Sebelius is the current U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services. Before that she was the governor of Kansas. They are the only father and daughter to be elected as state governors.

North Carolina topped East Atlantic Gymnastics League rival No. 15 Maryland in a rematch Saturday in Carmichael Arena. The Tar Heels finished with a 195.675, their highest score of the season, while the Terrapins totaled 194.825.
Sophomore Haley Watts scored a 39.225 in the all-around to earn first place honors. Just behind her was teammate Elizabeth Durkac, a senior and co-captain, who tallied a 39.200 for the second week in a row.
"We came into this meet focusing on the fact that we know we can do this and not letting any negativity get into our minds," said Watts. "We went out there and gave it our all."
Carolina began its rotation on the vault where the team totaled its highest score of the season on the event, a 48.975. The Tar Heels were led by Watts who earned a personal best 9.850. Freshman Lexi Cappalli tied for third overall and set a new personal best with a 9.825. Scoring a 9.800 each, freshman Sarah Peterson and Durkac tied. Junior Meredith Magjuka rounded out the event for her team with a 9.700.
The Tar Heels moved on to the uneven bars, tallying a 48.750. With a 9.800, Durkac landed in third place overall, followed by Peterson and Watts who each notched a 9.775 to tie for fourth place. Redshirt junior Michelle Ikoma competed the event for her first time this season and recorded a 9.750. Cappalli and junior Emily Cornwell both logged a 9.650.
On the balance beam, sophomore Janell Sargent, freshman Josselyn Mackey and senior and co-captain Maura Masatsugu all scored a 9.800. Durkac came in second for the Tar Heels with a 9.775. Watts earned a 9.750, and Magjuka finished with a 9.700. Carolina combined for 48.925 to Maryland's 48.250.
UNC finished the meet with floor exercise where the Tar Heels, again, bested the Terrapins with a 49.025. Watts tied for first overall, scoring a 9.850. She was followed closely by Durkac who recorded a 9.825. Each logging a 9.800, Cappalli and Magjuka tied for fifth overall. Peterson's performance was given a 9.750.
"They realize that they are capable of performing well in all four events, they just have to do it all in the same meet," said head coach Derek Galvin. "Tonight, they finally had a complete meet. The energy that came from the team, the enthusiasm, they carried each other and no one backed off."
The Tar Heels performed in front of the second largest crowd in UNC history as 3402 people came out to show their support. The highest attendance for a meet in Carmichael was in 2012 when 3548 people watched as Carolina topped William and Mary.
UNC will travel to Washington D.C. to take on George Washington for the third time this season Feb. 11 at 6 p.m.

Excellent. Maybe I should reconsider my Steyr Scout and get a 24" Weatherby!
30~30's can be pretty loud sometimes, especially indoors...
We hunted with a gang in North Bama, and one of the guys had a pretty serious medical condition that precluded him from walking for any extended period. But he couldn't keep himself away from the deer camp, so he would come out and cook for the guys.
He always brought his rifle with him though. His trusty looking old Winchester Model '94 30-30. One day, after a morning in the shooting shacks we came back to discover BIG mess. The camp was all torn up with blood everywhere and a 1/2 dressed deer hung up in a tree.
The Larry the cook was taking a break and on the verge of a heart attack.
As I got closer to him, he says to me in a rather loud tone .... "I NEED A BIGGER GUN !!!"
I looked at the deer and told him I figured the 30-30 seemed to have done a pretty nice job. Well he then proceeded to tell his story. I should mention his entire story is told at about 100 decibels, so my old friend was talking very loud ...
He said, that he walked to the bathroom take care of " some morning paperwork ". This was an old wooden outhouse, the real deal. one with with a cresent moon cut in the door and all, this joker was old school.
Anyway, As he sat down, he propped the door open with his rifle. Soooo, he's taking care of business, when he looks up to see a nice big BUCK standing there right outside of the camp.
So he grabs his rifle, whips it up to his shoulder, carefully takes aim and begins to squeeze off a shot. And just then, the outhouse door swings shut like springloaded screen door *SLAM* !!! The rifle fires * BOOM* !!!
He goes on to explain that " If I had a bigger gun then it would have maybe extended out past the door, and I wouldn't have fired off my rifle inside a closed shithouse."

What is QEP?
A Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) is a carefully designed and focused plan to enhance "overall institutional quality and effectiveness" and to focus "attention on student learning" (SACSCOC Handbook for Institutions Seeking Reaffirmation, 2011 edition)
Why does SPC need a QEP?
Every ten years, South Plains College is accredited by the Southern Association of College and Schools Commission on College (SACSCOC). SACS evaluates all degree-granting higher education institutions in the Southern states to ensure they are meeting the highest educational standards. A college's accreditation assures that the college maintains its quality and its credits will transfer to other accredited colleges and universities. Accreditation also means SPC is eligible for state and federal funds.
SPC is preparing for its next SACS evaluation, which will occur in 2013. SPC must develop its own QEP as a required part of the reaccreditation process. The QEP will outline a five-year program, which will be implemented at SPC from 2014-2019.

NE Ohio's second racino has set an opening date
(Northfield) — Another northeast Ohio facility featuring horse racing and slots-like video terminals will open Dec. 18, making it the fourth of seven racinos expected to open around the state.
The Hard Rock Rocksino at Northfield Park is scheduled to open less than a week after the racino in Lebanon in southwest Ohio. The Lebanon facility moved up its opening to Dec. 12 in hopes of drawing more attention before a second racino opens in that region, in the Dayton area.
The Ohio Lottery Commission oversees the video lottery terminals at the tracks. A spokeswoman for the commission says it doesn't anticipate any problems delaying the Northfield opening.
Two racinos, Thistledown in North Randall, and Scioto Downs near Columbus are already open. Another is under construction in suburban Youngstown.

POW in Afghanistan remembered at vigils in Meredith, Manchester
By SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News | May 31. 2014 7:37PM
News that Bergdahl had been freed and was on his way home was greeted with euphoria Saturday by those who have kept that vigil.
Jones is an organizer of the annual POW/MIA vigil and Freedom Ride held in Meredith during Bike Week. Ever since Bergdahl was taken prisoner five years ago this month, organizers have used the event to call attention to his captivity.
Artie Atkinson of Nashua, also a member of the Northeast POW/MIA Network, said the call from a Sunday News reporter with news of Bergdahl's release made his day.
A POW/MIA vigil in Manchester on Wednesday, held in Veterans Park at 7 p.m., will be dedicated to Bergdahl.
Bob Williams of Manchester, a Vietnam veteran who has organized the monthly vigil for 11 years, was ecstatic at news of Bergdahl's release.
The names of New Hampshire troops missing in Vietnam and Korea are read at every vigil, and Bergdahl's name was always read as well, he said.
"We kept fighting for it, and we got him," Williams said. "He's coming home walking."
In a statement, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH, expressed gratitude for Bergdahl's safe return.

Observing Constraints and Classification Rules
General Observing Constraints
Every requested observation has multiple observing constraints. Typical observing constraints are:
- the allowable brightest lunar phase
- the allowable smallest moon-to-object angular separation
- the allowable maximum airmass
- the allowable maximum image size (i.e. FWHM at observed wavelength, 'image quality' )
- the allowable sky transparency
- for CRIRES, NACO and SINFONI, the Strehl ratio on the reference star (as applicable).
- for instruments observing in the mid-IR (CRIRES and VISIR), the allowable maximum Precipitable Water Vapour (PWV)
- the allowable twilight constraint that defines the earliest time in minutes with respect to the end of the astronomical twilight when the execution of the OB can be started
- the allowable absolute time window for the start of the observation (i.e. for time critical events, multi-epoch monitoring)
- the allowable local sidereal time range for the entire observation (e.g. for ADI observation)
- for VLTI instruments, the availability of the desired baseline
The Observing Constraints are specified by the user at Phase 2 for each Observation Block. Since the execution conditions required by each programme are an important ingredient in the process of building up the Long Term Schedule of an observing semester, and thus determines which programmes can or cannot be scheduled, users are not allowed to specify at Phase 2 constraints that are more strict than those specified in the original proposal. Users can however relax the constraints during the submission of their Phase 2 material. The values in the OB constraint sets that are selected (and approved) during Phase 2 preparation (and review) cannot be changed later during the observing period.
General Classification Rules
Quality Control of OBs executed in Service Mode will be based on the user's specified constraints for airmass, atmospheric transparency, image quality/seeing, moon constraints, as well as Strehl ratio for Adaptive Optics mode observations. If all constraints are fullfilled the OB will get assigned Quality Control grade "A", while the "B" quality control is assigned if some constraint is up to 10% violated. The observations with quality control grades A or B are completed, while those with quality control grade "C" (out of constraints) will be re-scheduled and may be repeated. In exceptional cases an OB may get status completed with quality grade "D", meaning that it is taken out of constraints but will not be repeated.
Note: for most instruments the image quality constraint as defined in the OB is judged against the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of a point source in the resulting image (or spectral image). For the instruments where the image quality cannot be directly measured (AO, VLTI, fibre instrument), it is either not used for classification or is obtained from the wavefront sensor of the active optics of the telescope.

58 Comments
Ours came out a little thick, so we watered them down to make them drinkable. Might want to use at least 2 cups of water!
Seems like a lot of sugar. My doc recommends that I limit sugar while on the plan. This is getting very confusing!
Its a little odd at first but its okay, Im going to try to play with this recipie. Id use 1/2 an apple no pear and mmaybe throw in some blue berries? Ill see!
I'd add a carrot or two to the mix in place of the pear, but otherwise sounds tasty.
can i use sugar free dairy free coconut milk instead of water? is that still paleo?
I have to admit, I was a little worried. I left out the apple, because I was only trying to make enough for one breakfast and I still made too much. I have to admit, I absolutely loved the taste. I only used 1/2 cup of water because I wanted the thickness. It was such a luxurious smoothie. Now I'm excited to try some new comboes like apricot and spinach with a dash of basil or rosemary.
I added a bit more ginger and a bit more lemon juice and 10 ice cubes and its so good….
I am going to try this tomorrow but think im going to use coconut water instead of normal water
Replace most of the water with ice. Mine was actually quite warm so I added some.
Could Add some cucumber too. Brings a bit of water and a lovely freshness. Cucumber rocks in smoothies
Pretty tasty – I usually do either apple or pear and it works out well. I use boxed coconut milk for some liquid (or a little canned coconut cream) and it definitely needs ice!
Can you use chia seeds instead of flax seeds??
Is there suppose to be protein in the drink or just as is for breakfast?
Not for us. This "sushi smoothie" was almost too gross to stand. If it wasnt for the ginger, lemon and flax seeds it might not be so bad. But we managed to swallow it all. We used coconut milk instead of water and spinach instead of kale. Perhaps some berries might make it more tolerable. But we won't be makin this one again. Sorry.
We SOOOO love this recipe. I, like the others, made a few adjustments. Instead of the apple and pear, we use a banana. And, we add a scoop or two of vanilla protein powder depending on if we're having any other source of protein with it. It is so thick and creamy….and filling!! A winner in my book.
Neely/Jason, I'm sorry, but I didn't notice an egg in the recipe. Maybe it's supposed to be there, but it isn't? For what it's worth, I really enjoyed this recipe! Especially the tang of the ginger and the lemon. :)
sorry the thought of a raw egg in this makes me wanna gag any subs?
Hi, is ginger going to make or break this? Or not sure?
Can you use chia seeds as a sub for flax seeds??
I also wanted to just ask……I enjoy drinking Green Smoothies quite a bit……so if I just add a pastured egg or two to the mix would this then make my Smoothies Paleo approved and a complete nutritious breakfast?
I often enjoy an egg over light for breakfast but not a completely raw egg in a drink….just wondering if the taste is noticeably different?
Good morning
I have a question. Is it expense to eat this way? Can you estimate how much it would be to eat this way for two weeks.
A green smoothie is one of my favorite ways to start the day. Even my 2 year old loves it. I noticed a few comments about chia seeds & want to caution people agains using dry seeds. They absorb a LOT of water, so if you don't soak them to their full capacity before you consume them, they will absorb YOUR water on the way out, leaving you dehydrated. Soaked, they are a great source of protein.
I make a great tasty breakfast green smoothie, it starts with 1 cup water , 1 scoop vanilla protein powder,1 to 2 T. almond butter , 1 handful kale , 1 handful fresh spinach , 4 large frozen strawberries, and 1 wedge cantaloupe , cut in large cubes . Place in blender and stir until blended then blend on high until smooth.
I thought you should never ever mix veggies with fruit other than apples in order to digest them as they use different enzymes. Any comments?
Guys are arguing about eggs and missing the most obvious filler. The lemon peel!!! Contains pectin, among other things. Seriously, the lemon peel is the tastiest part of the lemon. Google the benefits of citrus peel, then start adding a whole half lemon instead of just the juice of one. (use organic, or wash thoroughly by soaking in vinegar).
My favorite green smoothie recipe
1 cup cold brewed green tea (just put two bags in a quart sized mason jar and refrigerate a few hours. No bitterness, a fraction of the caffeine, all the antioxidants)
Half a lemon, with peel
Handful spinach
Handful frozen blueberries (makes it chilled)
Small scoop raw local organic honey (for sweetness, health, and natural anti-histamine)
Hint of cayenne (optional for digestive organ cleansing)
It is tasty and so filling, because of the lemon peel. You will find yourself eating less all day. STOP THROWING YOUR PEELS AWAY TODAY, and your body will thank you.
I am new to this eating plan..so here is my question..Can I have stevia? I haven't seen any post on that subject so far. Too I enjoy dressings with my salads..are there any that are permitted?
Made this as instructed and wasn't a fan. I think it needs coconut or almond milk to make it creamier. Will try for next time.
One of my fav smoothies: blueberries, kale, spinach, almond milk, stevia, water and supplements.
I need help finding a healthy smoothie, not too much sugar. I hate the taste of 'green smoothies' sorry.
I drink a green smoothie every morning and this yields 2.5 large smoothies and is delicious. I bulk it up with some protein and fat from coconut milk:
1 bag of greens (I use Super Greens from Trader Joes or Spinach)
1 banana
1/2 can light coconut milk
2 tbs flax seeds
1/3 C Hemp Protein Powder
1 bag frozen fruit (I alternate between blueberries, strawberries, a blend of tropical fruit, etc)
1-2 C water (I eyeball it)
I'm with Sharlene, no one has mentioned if Stevia can be used in the paleo diet. It's plant based but it must be processed. I'd love your opinion.
I am also doing a sugar cleanse and a drop or two of the stevia would be greatly appreciated.
I have a Ninja that normally smoothies pretty well, but I couldn't get the kale down to where I liked it. I have made many a green smoothie and this one is a little tart. It was enjoyable, but I won't be making it again. My old standby is 1 banana, frozen blueberries, handful of spinach, and water w/ flax/chia/whatever. That's as easy as it gets.
This is a beautiful smoothie, tasty, sweet enough, I love it so does my son of 7 years old.
Tried it with Kale. It was pretty terrible. No, actually, it was one of the worst things I've ever had to eat. Nice and healthy though.
It says in a reply from Neely that stevia is fine to use. I always thought there was a lot of problems with it affecting glucose etc due to the fact it fools the body to think it is sugar etc etc so it can pull stored energy from muscles rather than fat. (well something along those lines anyway) I would love to know if it is a healthy sugar alternative. Thanks in advance.
Hi Neely,
I love the look of this recipe and love all that you do – thanks so much. I'm just wondering if you have a recipe for a green smoothie that is suitable for a ketogenic diet in terms of the fat:protein:carb ratio?
Thanks so much!
We love green smoothies in our house! Some days it is the only way I can get my toddler and 1 year old to eat ANY greens. We also like our Purple Smoothie which gets them to eat the superfood radicchio (a nutrition powerhouse) and still tastes great. Although we rotate our greens we try to use radicchio as often as possible. Thanks for the new and delicious recipe!
Green smoothies are amazing. I've never tried the ginger in there.. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion!
I made this by the recipe and am not a fan. Way too much to chew for a smoothie (the kale) and I have a pretty good Ninja blender…or so I think. 1 cup of water isn't enough. Even adding double water and ice it too hearty to swallow without chewing. I would have much rather had these ingredients separately.
