I'm looking to put together a "quickie" type portfolio that is sturdy, easy to transport, will hold up well, easy to view, protects the photographs, looks nice/professional/tidy and is on the relatively cheap side.
I was thinking either 5x7 or 8x10 images, but how to put them together and display them "per page" is where I am stuck. I thought of some sort of matboard with a scrapbook type containment system, but matboard is so pricey precut, and I do NOT cut matboard that well*L* er, I should say, I suck at cutting out my out mat frames. There is also slipsleeves, with just a fancier binder.. but that seems so "photo album" to me, plus I would want the images more "firm" to prevent bending, falling out of the sleeves, etc.
So does anyone have any creative ideas, that will put together a nice little quickie book to tote around with me on my photo outings? I have people ask me all the time if I have examples of my work, and I hate saying no.

I just use clear plastic sleeves and put my photos in them, printed on heavy 290gsm Ilford paper. I then place them in a plain black A3 portfolio case. I don't bother matting them. It has the advantage of being quick and easy to change the content.

I had my photographs (8x10s, including the white borders) mounted on 2mm Sunboard and laminated. It goes into a small, simplistic plastic case thats about two inches thick. I have about 20 images in it, which is all I normally carry around. It proves reasonably sturdy, the prints are relatively scratch resistant. Now, i don't mind people touching the surface of the prints, or even leaving it behind on someone's desk for a while.

Tuesday 22nd March 2011
In a moment of boredom on Sunday I switched on the TV to run the extended recording of Saturday's game and did a little test. Ten times during the hour or so, with the sound off and without looking, I pressed the pause button. On nine occasions we were in possession of the ball!
This of course can demonstrate a number of things. The really obvious one is that once again we totally dominated possession. I am one who believes that, with patience, on most occasions we do eventually break down a packed defence. Our scoring record is evidence that rarely does a team finish the match with a clean sheet against us.
It does also confirm however, that our downfall in games where we don't end victorious is often down to silly and avoidable individual and collective errors defensively.
Letting in two goals away from home, no matter who it is against, gives you a mountain to climb. Despite getting back to level pegging and completely battering our hosts for the last quarter of an hour we couldn't quite get that all-important winner.
There were errors at both The Hawthorns and Old Trafford on Saturday. Unfortunately the former went against us and the latter saw the home side handed an extra two points on a plate with a couple of minutes to go. For me that summed up how things have gone for us in recent weeks.
I quite enjoy going to West Brom. The location for our pre-match consumption is one to enjoy, the journey is rarely problematic and we have a pretty good record there down the years. Going behind so early on this occasion however, suggested it might not be our day this time round.
At 2-0 with time running out it looked even more so but I think we all knew just one goal would see us back in it. The Meerkat's fine strike gave us just that and we poured forward in search of that equaliser. As RVP's stab trickled over the line and the usual away match jostle ensued we all looked at our watches knowing there was time to go on and win the game.
On this occasion it wasn't to be but at least we all left the ground with that feeling that we all know we are in this together and will fight until the bitter end. There is a huge amount of football still to be played and despite recent disappointments we are still in a league position 90 other clubs would rather be in right now. That is something to look at positively not the opposite.
International breaks are so irritating in my opinion but on this occasion, as long as our many players return unscathed, it might just have come at a good time for us.
Our nine 'cup finals' start with the visit of Blackburn Rovers next week. They too will see the fixture with equal importance. We must make sure we want it more on the day.
Enjoy the weekend 'off'!

Poelmans Gives Green Bay Swimming an Imported Boost
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Answering an email might be one of the best and easiest coaching moves Jim Merner made last year. What came from the email has made a splash in the pool so far for the Phoenix.
Time Warner Cable SportsChannel's JP Cadorin recently featured Green Bay sophomore Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) on his Sports Weekly show, highlighting his success in the pool as well as his adjustment to living in the United States on his own.
Poelmans was named the Horizon League's Newcomer of the Year as a freshman in 2012-13, winning the 200 and 400-yard IM races in record-breaking fashion. He was also the Belgium national champion in the 200 IM over the summer. This season he already has 10 individual victories, helping the Green Bay men win three of their last four events.

Marketing planning has changed little in the past century. It's essentially a linear process built on the development of rigid 12-month plans built around brand and channel metrics. This approach is coming increasingly under strain as the combined effects of the growth of digital marketing platforms and a volatile economy demand marketing plans that deliver clear business outcomes and can adapt and improve to meet evolving market dynamics.
Over the past 12-18 months, we have come across several marketing organizations that have decided to do something about this situation and look for new ways to improve their approach to marketing planning by adopting some principles borrowed from a relatively new methodology originally conceived for software development efforts: agile development.
From the interviews that we did with marketers that are experimenting with this new approach, several of the key principles of "agile" development looked particularly relevant to innovating their approach to marketing planning:

i am looking into online courses and am wondering what is more important, hours logged in on a course, or the school s accreditation-reputation?
a lot of online courses offer 40-60 hour courses, this seems a bit meager.
But other ones that offer standard 120 hours, like LTTC, aren t officially recognized by any institution.
Any online graduates out there that could offer helpful advice?
Also, i m a bit worried about the validity of an online degree; is it easily accepted by employers?

I have a Canon EOS 1000F N (which is obviously non digital) with a Canon Zoom lens EF 35-80.
I am thinking of buying a Canon digital SLR, possibly an EOS 1100D or maybe next one up.
Will my old lens work in the new camera - in which case I could get away with buying body only?
I reckon I bought the camera in the later 80s

Update: Tuckerman Ravine avalanche spares lives of 2 hikers
By BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader | December 29. 2013 8:47PM
The Lip is in the upper right corner of this Dec. 24 photo. It is the location of Saturday's avalanche at Tuckerman Ravine. (COURTESY OF U.S. FOREST SERVICE)
"The snow they were in may have actually provided some padding," Lane said Sunday. "They were very, very lucky."
Forest Service officials said the avalanche should prompt winter and spring hikers to be aware of the dangers of creating an avalanche by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The hikers were members of a four-person party descending after reaching the summit of Mount Washington.
The group included three from Martha's Vineyard and one from Connecticut. They became separated into two groups of two hikers after snow driven by winds in excess of 50 mph created white-out conditions.
It was the two forward hikers who ran into trouble.
"Even experienced hikers become disoriented and do not know where they are during a white-out," Lane said. "They took a wrong turn. They went down into Tuckerman where it was steep with a lot of wind-blown snow."
That turn brought the pair to the slope known as "The Lip," where recent weather conditions created the serious potential for an avalanche. A rainy thaw earlier in the week was followed by heavy snowfall with significant wind-blown drifting of the snow. The result was several inches of snow piled atop a slippery crust of ice.
In his report on Saturday's incident, Snow Ranger Christopher Joosen said the hikers were quite fortunate.
"Throughout history there have been a number of very lucky people in the world," Joosen said. "There are now two more of them."
After their terrifying ride down the mountain, the hikers' attention turned to their companions, who were last known to have been behind them on the trek down the mountain. The two decided to try to find their companions at their last known location and began hiking back up the mountain.
"The avalanche was on a slope called 'The Lip,' where an avalanche is likely," Lane said. "They were heading back up an adjacent slope, 'The Sluice' which is very close by the Tuckerman hiking trail."
Once the duo was located by members of the rescue team, specialized hiking techniques were used to help the two hikers off the mountain so they could be taken to Memorial Hospital in North Conway.
Information about current avalanche warning conditions is available at www.mountwashingtonavalanchecenter.org which also has advice about recognizing areas with avalanche potential and information on basic and advanced courses in recognizing avalanches and avoiding their dangers.
The avalanche danger scale, ranging from low to extreme, was initiated about three years ago.
In addition to the Forest Service rangers, the Mountain Rescue Service, International Mountain Climbing School, Appalachian and Harvard Mountaineering clubs, Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue as well as private hikers aided in the search and rescue.

Box Score
NEWARK, Del. — Eric Smith, Danny Keane, and Nick Diachenko each scored three times and goalkeeper Conor Peaks collected a career-high 13 saves as the University of Delaware men's lacrosse team overpowered Michigan for a 12-5 non-league victory Saturday at sunny Delaware Stadium.
The Blue Hens (4-8) led wire-to-wire to pick up their second straight victory as they head into the homestretch of the 2013 season.
Delaware got scoring from six different players, forced 18 turnovers, and committed a season-low seven turnovers themselves, including just two in the opening half.
"I was very impressed with our efforts today," said Delaware head coach Bob Shillinglaw, who picked up his 309th career victory. "We were sharp and we did a great job of executing. I can't remember a game when I looked at the stats at halftime and we only had two turnovers."
Diachenko, who now leads the team with 27 goals this season, posted a hat trick for the second straight game and for the seventh time in his career while Keane posted his fifth career hat trick. Smith, who also dished out an assist, broke out of a scoring slump in a big way after netting just one goal over the previous five games.
Ian Robertson also scored a goal and dished out an assist for the Blue Hens, Connor McRoy contributed a goal and an assist, and Dom Sebastiani contributed an assist and caused four turnovers.
Michigan (0-11), a second-year varsity program, lost its 19th straight game dating back to last season and remained one of just two NCAA Division I men's programs without a victory this season.
Mike Hernandez and Evan Glaser each scored a goal and dished out an assist for the Wolverines while goalkeeper Gerald Logan, who leads the nation in saves per game, matched his average with 15 stops.
"There is always a concern with fatigue when you play a mid-week game (an 8-7 win at Marist Wednesday), but our guys came out and practiced great on Thursday and Friday," continued Shillinglaw. "We were aggressive for all four quarters today, Peaks was outstanding in goal, and our offense did a great job of running the plays all the way through. We accomplished everything we wanted to today."
The Blue Hens jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead after one quarter and upped the margin to 5-0 on a goal by McRoy with 6:18 left in the first half.
Michigan misfired on its first 15 shots and did not get on the board until Hernandez scored with 1:06 left in the first half. But the Hens matched when Keane scored off a Smith feed with just 14 seconds left to give Delaware a 6-1 advantage at the break.
Diachenko, Keane, and Sean Finegan each scored a goal in the first six minutes of the third quarter to increase the Delaware lead to 9-1 and put the game away. Goals by Diachenko and Roberts over the final three minutes of the third stanza gave the Hens an insurmountable 11-2 lead heading into the final stanza.
The game marked Delaware's annual Cancer Awareness Day and the Blue Hens wore special pink uniforms in support of the fight against a disease that has effected the families of several team members.
The game was also the annual Milt Roberts Day Game in which the Hens honor the memory of the founder of the UD program. Smith was named the game Most Valuable Player.

Depends on how far you're planning to shoot.
Here is a website that gives trajectories for various handgun calibers out to 100 yds.
If you're talking 9 yds to 25 yds you will not notice much difference. The problem I have at 25 yds is just keeping it on the target let alone grouping anything.
Good luck.


text: My experience is to leave bee trees that have fallen any distance. 90% have collapsed comb and dead queens and it becomes a salvage operation, don't mess with it unless you're getting paid. If you can be there and see the trunk/limb get lowered down by all means take it home. I'll still do those kind of rescues for free.If a bee tree has been laying on it's side for more than 24 hrs and the bees are still there the queen is dead.

Bendamustine Hydrochloride and Idarubicin for Previously Untreated AML or MDS (2413)
Safety and Clinical Activity of TreandaTM (Bendamustine HCL) and Idarubicin in Combination Therapy for Patients Over Age 60 with Previously Untreated Acute Myeloid Leukemia and High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
Trial Status
Trial Phase
Study Number
Local Study ID
Trial Location
Seattle Cancer Care Alliance
Trial Contact Phone
800-804-8824 / 206-288-1024
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine hydrochloride, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as gemtuzumab ozogamicin, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Giving bendamustine hydrochloride together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of bendamustine hydrochloride when given together with gemtuzumab ozogamicin in treating older patients with previously untreated acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Under Pressure: Gender Differences in Output Quality and Quantity under Competition and Time Constraints
Olga Shurchkov, Assistant Professor of Economics, Wellesley
One explanation for gender inequality stems from the effects of the interaction between competition and two pressure sources, namely, task stereotypes and time constraints. This study uses a laboratory experiment to find that the gender gap in performance under competition and preferences for competition can be partly explained by the differential responses of men and women to these different pressures. In particular, while women underperform the men in a high-pressure math-based tournament, women greatly increase their performance levels and their willingness to compete in a low-pressure verbal environment, such that they actually surpass the men. This effect appears largely due to the fact that extra time in a verbal competition improves the quality of women's work, reducing their mistake share. On the other hand, men use this extra time to increase only the quantity of work, which results in a greater relative number of mistakes. In this session we will examine and discuss these findings and their potential implications of the dynamics of the workplace.
Lunch will be provided.
An RSVP is not required as this is an open event.

If you are shooting low, then the front sight is too high. Dress off the top of the sight with a flat file until you get the correct point of aim. You can then leave it as is, or measure the height and order one of those. If your point of aim is off by just a little you may not have to make any purchase at all.
But for each time you dress of the top of the front sights, shoot 20 or more rounds and see where they are grouping. Don't make changes based on one or two shots. Base teh changes based on a grouping. If the entire grouping is shooting low, then take some more off.

|There are two decent problems on the two aretes on the boulder mentioned behind zee crack. Either arete is fun (the overhanging side) and the close one (cliff side) prolly comes in around v2-4ish from the sitstart. A buddy from Go-V said it was called cigarette but have no idea the name. If ever back in town I'll try to get some pics of sw CT areas. (this and the very little on mt laurell is all that anyone has up here)

Went back over weekend to boulder. Here are some updates.
There are a couple of route climbs here in addition to zee crack. left of zee crack is a small crack seam that climbs past a piton. Up the hill from Zee Crack is some hi ball bouldering or short TR climbs, as well as some fun traverses. (Has big vertical split that is a great no hands rest) There is a fun V2ish boulder problem starting on the low horizontal that goes up and left through little crimps and a 2 finger dish.
On the boulder behind zee crack there are 4 definite problems. Cigarette, as mentioned before seemed much easier than remembered and I would peg at V2ish and starts on the very low right hand side pull and the left hand sloper right under the under cling. Stay right on the arête as you climb, don't go left to better holds as you want to top out at the point of the arête.
The next boulder problem is under the overhung side of the boulder and you sit start by the right arête. (farthest from cliff) there is a bulge in front of you slap with left hand as your right goes up the corner until you can gain a high foot and fire to the only "hold" in the middle of the blank overhang about 8 feet off the ground. Then top out in the middle of the over hang. This one probably goes at V3-4ish and can shred the hands a little.
The last two climbs are on the far side of the boulder on the slab. One starts on the far left of the slab, near the overhanging arête start. You can actually start the overhung climb and move right around the arête to finish on the slab climb to make the problem a little tougher. There are many variations on the numerous sharp crimps and I put together like 8 different ways to top out, but the left and right side are clear routes that just go up. Trying to start a traverse from the right to left but it is tough if you don't use the top edge.
Usually not much chalk on this boulder and I have never ran into someone here so have fun route finding!

|Sick Julien, next time i am in town I'll have to see this beta cuz I cant picture the moves. Is this a climb for 6'4" climbers only?
By Mark Wenzel
Nov 12, 2010
|I suspect Felix Modugno sent that boulder problem some 30 years ago, That crag has been covered like a cheap suit over the ages by hundreds of climbers.

|I like to believe that there are FA's to be had still in this state, and in my mind, unless it has signs of being climbed already or is in a guidebook, its a FA as far as I am conserned. I bet some aboriganies climbed some of these cliffs before the first European settlers came over...
By Mark Wenzel
Nov 17, 2010
|Again, I doubt it. We cleaned a ton of stuff 25 - 30 years ago... much of it has since re-grunged back over since. Even before we got there, folks like Mac Johnson had already ticked off most of the stuff
By Morgan Patterson

Jul 17, 2011
|Julien & T Seas - So ya unless you kids are pulling V10 and sending 5.13+ you guys likely aren't putting up any FA's @ Laddin's or any other established areas in SW/CT. Sharma, Lowell, Kupal, Gold, Carion, etc. all have been climbing here for/in the last decade... not to mention myself! The one line that we scoped that may be undone on Laddins is on the left end following a seam/crystals up and left... prob goes around 13 but may very well have gone before. And there are V8 variations on that small boulder too..

Sep 1, 2011
absolutely i asked those guys. i was sure they'd been there. they worked down the street. i just love it when there is no chalk, it hadn't been done for a while. [[

Nice Video Julian... so I hate to break the news to you but that problem you climbed isn't an FA. We did that line years ago... and it was likely done years before that... but again nice video. Also it is spelled Ascent.
My parents lived right around the corner and I worked at GV for many many years as well... It's cool to see folks are getting stoked on the area despite the crap rock quality.

Critical Comment
"A stunning and powerful historical experience...Celebrates how black New Orleans, in the face of white hostility, managed to carve out a unique and expressive culture and history that would enrich America and the world."
"A powerful piece of work on our beloved New Orleans! Don't miss it!"
"Flat out brilliant...This is a great piece of storytelling, filmmaking and testifying. It is also arguably the most poignant film ever made about New Orleans…Perhaps Faubourg Treme is the first of new masterpieces to emerge from this cauldron of suffering. It has certainly raised the bar extremely high. It is richer and far more nuanced than Spike Lee's When the Levees Broke and much more accurate than the post-Katrina documentaries produced by many of the national and international news organizations, despite their well-meaning intentions"
"A moving and rich history.. essential viewing for fans of the HBO series"
"Our jazz idiom, the Creole tradition of political dissent, the craftsmanship behind our vernacular architecture-all had roots in Faubourg Tremé. Anyone still wondering what it might mean to lose New Orleans should see this powerful and poignant documentary film."
"This film is a modern history book that perfectly captures the spirit and culture of Tremé."
"The film uses a richly textured mix of archival images, documents and historical footage to define a history of community resilience in the face of repeated challenges and threats. New Orleans gets short shrift in most discussions of civil rights and other aspects of historical and contemporary race relations, so this DVD fills an important gap and the jury urges its use in the classroom."
"A brilliant documentary film that should be seen by every man, woman and child who desires to understand the world we live in and, ultimately, how to change it for all. It is a multi-use, exceedingly accessible, and deeply moving video with a sociological imagination. Students of sociology will be challenged to think more comprehensively and critically than they ever have regarding the intricate links between race and class, history and biography, and the future of people and their communities."
"Just saw the film at the National Council for the Social Studies annual conference in Houston, TX and I can't stop thinking about it. This documentary is powerful -- it perfectly captures all that is unique about New Orleans and reminds us why its culture is so worthy of preservation. I can't wait to share it with educators all over the state! Job very well done."
"An outstanding, sensitive film with great images and fine historical background about this unique New Orleans neighborhood. It looks reality straight in the face."
"It's history come alive. I enjoyed every second. The music, the second-line dancing, the characters, are wonderfully presented. The camera catches many telling moments that reveal the pulse and texture of a very special place. The historical footage istremendous. The tragedy of Katrina hits home hard. Sad as it is, we come out the other end feeling hope for the future and glad to have shared in such a rich history."
"A deep piece of work...so powerful, compelling and devastating...beautifully rendered."
" Faubourg Treme is a celebration of the venerable African-American history of New Orleans...passion for the subject infuses the film...remarkable footage and charming interviews"
"Documentaries about post-Katrina New Orleans have not been in short supply. But one film stands out for its sensitivity to the city's cultural character, before and after the storm. "Faubourg Treme: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans" draws a poignant portrait of what may be the oldest black neighborhood in America...New Orleans Times-Picayune writer Lolis Eric Elie gently guides viewers through the neighborhood's glorious past and inglorious suffering after Katrina, illuminating customs that distinguish New Orleans from every city on earth."
"...a moving and revelatory film..."
"...timely and essential...charming yet hard-hitting."
"...a powerful reflection of Treme as a place of creative ferment and political resistance for some 300 years."
About The Film
68 and 56 min versions available, 2008, closed captioned
Faubourg Treme is considered the oldest black neighborhood in America, the origin of the Southern Civil Rights Movement, and the birthplace of jazz. Five years before Hurricane Katrina hit, two New Orleanians, one white and one black- filmmaker Dawn Logsdon and writer Lolis Eric Elie - began documenting the rich living culture of Faubourg Treme, then a little known neighborhood overshadowed by the adjacent famous French Quarter. Their tapes miraculously survived the flooding that devastated their city. Now the completed film uncovers Treme's unique and hidden history and situates it within three centuries of African American struggle - from slavery through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and Civil Rights, to the recent threat of Hurricane Katrina. Faubourg Treme: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans is one of those rare films that transcends a local story to expand our national understanding of the American experience.
Long ago during slavery, Faubourg Treme was home to a large, prosperous, and artistically flourishing community free black people. It was also a hotbed of political ferment. Here black and white, free and enslaved, rich and poor co-habitated, collaborated, and clashed to create much of what defines New Orleans culture up to the present day. In so many ways its story reflects the tortuous path taken by African American history over the centuries.
Faubourg Treme: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans was largely shot before the Katrina tragedy but edited afterward, giving the film both a celebratory and elegiac tone. It is a film of such effortless intimacy, subtle glances and authentic details that only two native New Orleanians could have made it.
Our guide through the film is writer and former newspaperman Lolis Eric Elie (now a writer for David Simon's new HBO TV series, Treme) who decided that rather than abandon his heritage after Hurricane Katrina he would invest in it by rehabilitating an old house in the Treme district.
His 75 year-old contractor, Irving Trevigne, whose family has been in the construction business there for over 200 years, becomes a symbol of the neighborhood's continuity and resourcefulness; Irving Trevigne represents a man who, unlike many Americans, is deeply rooted in his community and its traditions.
Louisiana Poet Laureate Brenda Marie Osbey and noted historians John Hope Franklin and Eric Foner explain on the DVD what made Treme different, and such a fertile ground for African American life. New Orleans was a French and Spanish city before it was incorporated into the United States as part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. Latin and urban attitudes towards slavery tended to be more relaxed than in the plantation South; slaves were allowed to walk freely through the city, to work for themselves and hence often to buy their freedom. New Orleans had the largest number of free people of color in the South, a dangerous anomaly in a slave society.
As the city outgrew its walls, a new district, Faubourg (suburb in French) Treme was constructed, a mixed neighborhood, a majority of whose residents were free people of color. The district developed its own institutions, for example, St. Augustine's Church, the oldest predominantly black Catholic parish in the country. The district grew up around Congo Square where African American commerce flourished and a unique Creole culture emerged. Even today when Treme's children go 'second lining' behind one of the city's storied brass bands, their dances immediately reveal their African origins.
A century before the Harlem Renaissance and the modern Civil Rights Movement, Treme was a center of black cultural and political ferment. In 1862, after Northern troops captured the city, Paul Trevigne, an ancestor of Irving, edited the oldest black-owned daily newspaper in the U.S., The Tribune, which became an eloquent advocate for African Americans' civil rights. Before the 14th,15th and 16th Amendments, it demanded the right to enlist in the Union army, to vote and to be subject to equal treatment under the law. During the heady days of Reconstruction, black New Orleanians employed sit-down strikes to integrate the city's streetcars; it became the only city in the South with desegregated schools. At one point, more than half the state legislators were African Americans, as well as the governor.
With the withdrawal of Federal troops in 1877, however, white supremacists rapidly rolled back black gains. Separate and unequal schools were re-established and 99% of black citizens were purged from the voting rolls; anyone who protested was likely to be lynched by the Ku Klux Klan. As a last stand in 1892, a 'Citizens Committee' deliberately challenged a law resegregating all public transportation, the infamous Plessy vs. Ferguson case. There the Supreme Court upheld the law as constitutional, legalizing 60 years of American-style apartheid.
The black population was devastated but precisely during this dark period, a new kind of music was born in Faubourg Treme: jazz. Legendary jazz great and New Orleans native, Wynton Marsalis observes on the DVD that this music gave African Americans, excluded once again from mainstream American society, a free cultural space to voice their grief and hopes. The film pulsates with the resilient spirit of the residents of this quintessential New Orleans neighborhood, which has swept the world as America's most lasting contribution to music.
Treme was a hotbed of New Orleans' civil rights struggles in the '50s and '60s but with its success prosperous residents began to move out. The familiar pattern of inner city urban decay set in poverty, crime, drugs. Urban re-development rammed an interstate highway through the business center of the neighborhood and historic homes were replaced by demoralizing segregated housing projects. Faubourg Treme even lost its name; now it was simply known as the Sixth Ward.
Then in late August, 2005, Katrina hit. The filmmakers revisited Treme to survey the destruction and find out what had happened to the characters they had met during the film. The indifferent, incompetent federal response to the catastrophe left many residents angry and discouraged; once again, as with slavery and Jim Crow, America seemed to have rejected its African American residents. Some, like Lolis Eric Elie, returned and rebuilt. But Irving Trevigne, his life's work in ruins, moved to Vermont where he died the next year. St. Augustine's church was given 18 months to recover its congregation or close.
A deeply moved but defiant Brenda Marie Osbey concludes Faubourg Treme: "This catastrophe is not greater than we as a people. Everywhere we go we must take with us the spirit of this city, the spirit of its heroes and the will to live and fight again."
Faubourg Treme does not just commemorate, it reminds us that American society still confronts the same battles that the residents of Treme have waged through two centuries - demands for economic justice, voting rights, equal education, decent public services, in short, full citizenship for African Americans.

(In which I talk about my feeeeeeels)
Disclaimer: This post comes in the middle of an existential crisis. I'm struggling a lot with programming as a career choice and feeling disconnected from a community of excited hackers. These feelings and opinions are my own and I think it's totally fine if you don't subscribe to them or want to write me off as an F-ing idiot.
Love First
A lot of the ideas in this post have been buzzing around in my head since I saw Jen Myers deliver her keynote at Strangeloop last year.
I've been keeping my thoughts in my head mostly because I'm already an established programmer. A lot of the motive for the talk was to be more welcoming to newcomers and minorities that struggled to be included in our communities. But I think this problem affects all of us, every last one, regardless of gender, race, or class.
The short version is that I think the tone of programming communities, especially online ones, is horrific. It's filled with religious debate over things less important than getting people excited about and interested in computing. For me, whether it's smart people posturing for social status or individuals genuinely trying to enlighten others is irrelevant.
Our first reaction to any comrade, any other person passionate about and interested in building things with computers, any human crazy and masochistic enough to try and expand the capabilities of these absurd machines, should be empathy and love.
This may seem ridiculous at first glance. It's harder than it sounds.
The Same Old Arguments
You already know the religious wars I'm talking about. They're silly little things. Are static or dynamic types better? (For some, is there even such a thing as being dynamically typed?) Is Vim or Emacs better? Should I learn programming with PHP or Haskell? Should my app use JSON, XML, or a self-describing binary format? Is programming math, art, or craft? Can code be literature?
For a host of reasons, these are questions we have a vested interest in. And I think, more often than not, our motive is to encourage more learning and exploration. But the conversation is almost always full of condescension and judgment, especially if the medium for response is limited. We simply cannot let supporting curiosity become secondary to proselytizing "the right thing".
Plain and simple, turning a prompt for exploration into a right-or-wrong religious debate is curiosity destroying. And that's precisely the opposite of our intent, the opposite of what we as a community should aspire to.
Our opinions are important, and I'm not precluding the existence of a right answer. But someone pondering a tricky subject isn't best met by bludgeoning them over the head with a conclusion. As long as the principal motive of those we interact with is the fractal question "Why?", we are together.
This connects to a lot of things. It connects to people wondering if they're good at programming, or how to know such a thing. It contributes to impostor syndrome. I've struggled to hack on hobby code for fun because I don't feel like I can be proud of it. Not smart enough, not groundbreaking enough, not important enough. And I know that's silly, because there are more important things to worry about.
So the more we can get away from emphasizing that the most important thing in programming is being right, the better that will be for newcomers, for hobbyists, and I believe, for all of us.
I'm reminded of an Alan Perlis quote in SICP:
"I think that it's extraordinarily important that we keep the fun in computing. ... We began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free, perfect use of these machines. I don't think we are.
I think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house."
I'm not perfect at this either. It is difficult to never be dismissive, let alone to always be gentle. But sometimes people are just trying to make it through the day. Not use the best tool, not come up with a groundbreaking solution, not fix the world. We need to try to meet other programmers where they are. Not move them to our habitat before empathizing, before loving.
Ironically, I know this has been a bit of a high-horse diatribe. At least let me give you a gift for coming so far and listening to me ramble so much. Here, have something I love, bits of Milosz:
To whom do we tell what happened on the earth,
for whom do we place everywhere huge mirrors
in the hope that they will be filled up and will stay so?
I think that I am here, on this earth,
To present a report on it, but to whom I don't know.
As if I were sent so that whatever takes place
Has meaning because it changes into memory.
To find my home in one sentence, concise, as if hammered in metal.
Not to enchant anybody. Not to earn a lasting name in posterity.
An unnamed need for order, for rhythm, for form,
which three words are opposed to chaos and nothingness.
What did I really want to tell them? That I labored to transcend my place and time,
searching for the Real. And we could have been united only by what we have in common:
the same nakedness in a garden beyond time, but the moments are short
when it seems to me that, at odds with time, we hold each other's hands.
And I drink wine and I shake my head and say: "What man feels and thinks will never be expressed."
Life is going pretty well. Norma and I have moved into a new apartment. I'm figuring out how to balance work and my other goals. My student loans will be paid off by my 28th birthday in August.
I decided to work from home today. I slept poorly, I think it's the pollen. I've been thinking a lot about what I want lately. Neither Academia nor Industry quite seem to fit. Academia only cares about work that advances the state of the art in specific subfields, Industry only cares about work that advances the bottom line.
My goals don't quite fit in with either of those things. I want to write software to help people understand how other software works. Specifically, a Nintendo Emulator and set of tools for observing and modifying old games on the fly. And so I find myself thinking about how to work fewer hours so I can find more time for my 'art projects' without sacrificing hobbies, relationships, and a social life.
I've been too drowsy today to get meaningful work done on work or hobby projects, but here's what I thought about in the shower:
- I should add a proper JIT compiler to cl-6502 that uses the "compile-to-closures" technique described by xach.
- I should fix trowel so that it can correctly compute the control flow graph of simple (NROM) NES games that aren't self-modifying. Like I meant to do last summer.
- I should implement the UNROM mapper for famiclom using neth, sprocketnes, or tenes for reference if needed. That way, I could play with Mega Man 1 and its annotated code in addition to Super Mario Bros.
- I should start on a lispy macroassembler/compiler to 6502 because there are idioms to capture in these games and neslisp isn't gonna cut it.
- Also, I thought about adding crossposting support and 'embeddables' to coleslaw briefly but that doesn't count. That's my one halfway 'practical' piece of software. People do like to blog.
Seriously, is there somewhere I can do an MFA but really just write weird artsy software for 2 years?
Oh, well. Time to take a nap and then try to write some code to find Biconnected Components in C again.
Long time, no blog.
I've been offline for a while. I burned out last July and only really started hacking on my lisp projects again in March. So what's changed in the last two months? Actually, kind of a lot.

Coleslaw 0.9.4 is hereby released. I apologize that 0.9.3 which went out in the last quicklisp release had an embarrassing escaping bug.
The most fun part of Coleslaw is trying my hand at API design. Lisp is a great tool for writing extensible software and Coleslaw has been a good proving ground for that since everyone has a slightly different set of requirements for their blogware.
I've been reading Sonya Keene's Object Oriented Programming in CL lately which led to a large refactoring around the new Document Protocol. I'm not prepared to say anything intelligent about protocols yet, but thankfully plenty of people have done so elsewhere. This blog post by sykopomp isn't a bad place to start.
In addition to the document protocol and the usual litany of bugfixes, Coleslaw now has a new theme based on bootswatch readable, user-defined routing, support for static pages, and greatly expanded docs.
The main things to tackle before 1.0 are a plugin to support incremental compilation for very large sites and a twitter/tumblr cross-posting plugin.
cl-6502 0.9.7
Additionally, someone actually found a use for my Readable CPU emulator! Dustin Long was working on a homebrew Nintendo game and wanted a way to unit test his code, so he's been using cl-6502 to get cycle counts and otherwise check behavior. Naturally, the very basic assembler got on his nerves so he sent me a nice pull request adding support for labels, compile-time expressions, and decimal, hex, and binary literals. Thanks, Dustin!
I also rewrote the addressing modes again, reduced consing, and made debugging easier by using Alexandria's named-lambda for all the opcodes. The cl-6502 book has been updated, of course.
With any luck, I'll get back to work on famiclom or tools for analyzing old NES games like Super Mario Bros and Mega Man 2. It's good to be back.
What's new?
I've been away for a while and I needed it. My priorities in the past 6 months have shifted pretty drastically from the last few years "hacking, blogging, hacking, blogging". It was a long overdue shift to grow in new ways, form new relationships, and rediscover old hobbies. So, here's the latest:
I Love Smash Brothers
For years, traditional competitive sports haven't clicked for me. I compare myself to others reflexively but avoid active competition. I'm trying to compare myself to others less, bad habits die hard. But I encountered a documentary series about Smash Brothers back in October and was reminded that a video game is the one place I've found competition fun, win or lose.
It's crazy how much free time I've spent since then learning about a game I'd already put a few thousand hours into in college. There is incredible depth to the game and while I grant that calling a video gamer an "athlete" sounds ridiculous on its face, I now believe eSports are deserving of a mainstream audience even if they never find it.
Personally, I'm enjoying getting better at the game and learning to be patient with my own progress. I've gained some appreciation for how people get so excited about traditional sports. I'd strongly encourage you to watch the first episode of the documentary if you have any interest in competitive gaming whatsoever, even if you think the very notion silly.
I Love Electronic Music
I've told myself for a long time that I would try to make music one day. I've played the guitar and the drums though am self-taught at both and never got serious enough to develop a real aptitude. I also have a long held love of electronic music, particularly sample-based wizardry such as Amon Tobin's Supermodified.
I'm finally pursuing this passion. I've purchased a copy of an old-school "tracker-style" software called Renoise. While I'm not composing actual songs yet, I've been greatly enjoying sampling music and video games from my youth and constructing odd melodies and instruments. I've also been learning the basics of sound synthesis from my friend, Matt Simpson. Sound design is a crazy, crazy thing.
I Love My Job
I've been working for Emcien since May and it's been a great environment to grow as a software engineer. Aside from me, there are 5 engineers and I've been able to pair with people to quickly get up to speed on the products and learn new tools and techniques. In particular, I've enjoyed doing my first serious C hacking ever on the engine that powers Emcien's data analytics products.
I've also spent a huge amount of time this year with my beautiful girlfriend, Norma, and her two dogs. I've tried to see friends in town a bit more, I've played video games and read sci-fi novels a bit more. I'm remembering what leisure feels like and I have no regrets. I still want to finish the Lisp NES emulator and other projects but I'm branching out for a little while ... and my timeframe is flexible. Good luck with your 2014.
I'm still on a break from recreational programming. I've been gaming a bit to remember why I was writing an Emulator in the first place and got the idea for this article. Here are 16 games that left a major impression on me (and 4 honorary mentions) presented in something close to Autobiographical order:
Elementary School:
Middle School:
- Command & Conquer: Red Alert -- also, Starcraft
- Pokemon Blue
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Final Fantasy VIII
High School:
- Metal Gear Solid
- Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 -- also, Thrasher: Skate & Destroy
- Gran Turismo 2
- Freelancer -- also, Descent: Freespace
- Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri
- Super Smash Bros -- also, Super Smash Bros Brawl
- Ratchet & Clank
Certainly there have been other titles/series I've enjoyed putting hours into: Naughty Dog's Uncharted, Bethesda's Skyrim, Borderlands, and so on. But the above are the games which uniquely effected me. Each holds special nostalgic value, many represent discovery of a genre or fictional setting that I've come to love. Hell, the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series got me skateboarding in real life and I'm not sure I would have owned an Acura NSX if not for Gran Turismo.
It would be fun to do a similar list for Movies (would I have become a programmer without Hackers?) or Music. I'll call this good for now. :)
My Recent Absence
You may have noticed it has been two months since I've done any serious hacking on my open source projects. That is no accident. It has been a little over 5 years since I decided that programming would be my future.
That decision worked out far better than I could have hoped. I find programming immensely rewarding and, for someone who has only been doing it for 5 years, I think I'm doing reasonably well. I have a steady job that I'm happy with and rewarding friends and hobbies.
But I'm tired. I'm stepping back and trying to take stock of how I use my time at a high level. I'm not micro-optimizing. I'm asking, for the first time in quite a while, how I want to divy up what free time I have and what my priorities are. I'm not sure when I'll come back to programming. I am sure that when I do, my focus and enjoyment of it will be improved. But there is so much I want to do besides code.
It's been a big year. I had two jobs before my present one. I briefly had a supercar. I started a new relationship for the first time since 2007. So perhaps it is no surprise that I haven't found as much time for hacking. That other forms of creation have fallen by the wayside a bit.
I miss the huge chunks of time I had in college. I want to both consume and create. To consume music, video games, MOOC courses, books I've been meaning to read for ages. To create code, mixtapes, music of my own, and who knows what else. But even though its hard to think of all that I get done versus all that I want to do and each weekend flies by like a screaming jet, I have to admit that things are going pretty well.
I can't believe Strangeloop is only a week away!

This will be the last post about emulation that doesn't involve graphics or disassembly of old NES games, I promise. cl-6502 0.9.5 is out and, in my testing with SBCL, pretty snappy. The book has received updates and is also available on lulu. Below is the 'Lessons Learned - Common Lisp' chapter:
Structures can be preferable to classes
Structures are much more static than classes. They also enforce their slot types. When you have a solid idea of the layout of your data and really need speed, they're ideal.
CLOS is fast enough
CLOS, for single-dispatch at least, is really quite fast. When I redesigned the emulator to avoid a method call for every memory read/write, my benchmark only ran ~10% faster. I eventually chose to stick with the new scheme for several reasons, performance was only a minor factor.
Destructuring is more expensive than you think
My second big speedup came, indirectly, from changing the arguments to the
opcode lambdas. By having the opcode only take a single argument, the CPU, I
avoided the need to destructure the opcode metadata in
step-cpu. You don't
want to destructure a list in your inner loop, no matter how readable it is!
Eval-when is about data more than code
That is, the times I found myself using it always involved computing data at
compile-time that would be stored or accessed in a later phase. E.g. I used
it to ensure that the status-bit enum was created for use by
set-flags-if and
*mode-bodies* variable was bound in time for
defaddress. Regardless,
try to go without it if possible.
Use DECLAIM (and DECLARE) wisely
DECLAIM is for global declarations and DECLARE is for local ones. Once you've
eked out as many algorithmic gains as possible and figured out your hotspots with
the profiler, recompile your code with
(declaim (optimize speed)) to see what
is keeping the compiler from generating fast code. Letting the compiler know the
FTYPE of your most called functions and inlining a few things can make a big
cl-6502 0.9.4
I haven't been doing any hacking on coleslaw or famiclom for the last month. I've been focused almost entirely on my 6502 CPU emulator. In particular, I've been optimizing it and turning it into a "readable program".
The optimizations have gone swimmingly, taking cl-6502 from 3.8 emulated mhz circa May 1st (commit eecfe7) to 29.3 emulated mhz today (commit b729e8).(0) A factor of 8 speedup feels pretty good though it would be fun to coax more speed out later.
(0): All figures obtained with SBCL 1.1.4 on Debian 64-bit on an old Thinkpad X200. See this 6502 forum post.
I feel that the readability of the program has remained, maybe even improved, through all that optimization. The same overall design is in place; most refactorings were, approximately, tweaking macros and their callsites. The readability is especially improved when the code is broken into chapters, each with an introduction for context, and typeset with LaTeX. The latter is done thanks to a simple Makefile and some very nifty code swiped from Luke Gorrie's snabbswitch. If you've been curious about how cl-6502 is implemented or just wanted to dive in, there's never been a better time. Grab the book!
NES + Lisp + Static Analysis = ?
I'm still planning to make famiclom a full NES emulator. I won't consider it done until I can play Mega Man 2 with it. Hopefully using a USB controller. It doesn't make much sense for Lisp in Summer Projects though. I've already started the project, the scope is ill-defined, and I want to work on something fresh and new to me. So I've come up with a project that I can't possibly complete instead. It'll be great!
In short, I intend to rewrite Super Mario Bros 1. ... in a not-yet-existing lisp-like macro-assembler/incredibly simple compiler. I already have a 6502 assembler/disassembler in cl-6502 and a tool to parse NES roms in romreader. There's also a very thorough annotated disassembly of Super Mario Bros floating around. I've got a good start on a static analyzer that will take the SMB binary and an entry point and try to build a CFG of the game. The current scheme won't work with memory mapped titles but it's good enough for Mario.
Wild Speculation
Once I have a graph representation of Mario Bros, I'll try both manual analysis of the annotated disassembly with a pen and pad, and automated analysis on the graph using Lisp. I'll try to find as many idioms and patterns as possible to condense and improve readability of the code. Then, somewhere in early August, I'll start trying to rewrite the source and see how far I can get.
This approach is probably completely: insane, unworkable, unviable, inadvisable, and just all around wrong. But I think I'll have fun and learn something, so it's good enough for me. And hell, who knows, maybe I'll get lucky and be able to attend ECLM next year. :)
Every. Single. Time.
Installing linux on a Mac never manages to be pleasant. I always remember, "Oh, yeah. I got this to work before." and dive in cheerily only to shortly recoil at what a fucking nightmare it is.
These days I use crunchbang, a very clean Debian-based distro. It's hard to even know who to be mad at. You'd think the installer would just detect the EFI/GPT stuff and "do the right thing" by now. Or be able to resize HFS+ partitions.
Out of Desperation
For whatever reason, I had to resort to this:
Resize OS X with Disk Utility to 50% of the current partition size.
Install rEFInd as rEFIt is now deprecated/unmaintained.
Burn a CD (!!!) since EFI doesn't want to boot from unrecognized USB drives.
Boot from the CD and install linux to the freespace.
When prompted to install the bootloader, install it on the linux partition, not the disk!
Do whatever it takes to get a linux command prompt, rescue disk, whatever. Mount the new install at /target.
mount -o bind /dev /target/dev mount -o bind /sys /target/sys mount -o bind /proc /target/proc chroot /target
Now you can actually do useful things, like fix the broken fucking bootloader! Note that you may need to
ifconfig eth0 up && dhclient eth0for network access.
Install and use gptsync on the drive with the linux partition:
apt-get update && apt-get install gptsync && gptsync /dev/sda
Reboot and pray.
In Conclusion
Now your glorious Linux distro should boot on your "is-it-designed-not-to-work-with-a-single-fucking-Open-Source-thing?" Mac. Of course, you may need to apt-get remove the busted radeon drivers and add xforcevesa to the linux invocation in your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and remember to always gptsync after any future update-grub operations but...yeah, fuck all these goddamned computers.

On Saturday, March 8, 2014, at approximately 8:23 p.m., the Lakeland Police Department responded to 833 N. Florence Avenue in reference to a homicide. Inside the dwelling officers discovered Gregory Allen Ross Jr. (B/M 06/17/94) deceased from apparent gunshot wounds. At the time of the homicide, the dwelling was being utilized as an illegal drug distribution point commonly known as a drug trap house. Evidence found inside the dwelling included firearms and illegal drugs. Crime scene personnel recovered spent bullet casings and projectiles inside the dwelling.
On Monday, March 10, 2014, an autopsy was conducted at the Medical Examiner's Office by Dr. Nelson. The results of the procedure identified five gunshot wounds to the decedent, to include shots to the head and upper torso area.
According to two witnesses that were in the dwelling prior to the homicide, only four people were inside which consisted of: Jimmy Brown, the decedent and two witnesses. Both witnesses had left the dwelling when they heard five separate gunshots. One of the witnesses returned to the dwelling and observed Jimmy Brown running out the front door. The witness followed Jimmy Brown for several blocks before catching up with him. The witness stated that Jimmy Brown told him he had robbed the decedent of an amount of drugs, to include powder cocaine, crack cocaine and marijuana, which he showed the witness. Jimmy Brown told the witness he accidentally shot the decedent during a struggle.
Detectives obtained the arrest warrant on March 11th and attempted to locate Brown at various locations throughout the evening. Jimmy Brown later turned himself in at the Lakeland Police Department yesterday evening without incident and was later transported to the Polk County Jail.
Brown was charged with Murder in the 1st Degree with a Firearm, Armed Robbery with a Firearm and Witness Tampering.

Currently I have E2 grips on my P220, but I had Hogue Aluminum grips before, and I like them a lot. The Aluminum grips were close to the same size as the original plastic, but had a different profile that made them feel smaller than the originals.

I'm trying to paint the armor. Actually this is the second go around as I went ahead and ordered some armor from BM (My first set was trashcan). I have all the correct colors according to RS list and was needing to ask some questions about the acrylic blackwash.
I've done searches on everything I could think of and have read through quite a few different ideas on how this should be done.
Here is my major question. When doing this should the overall effect look mottled when viewed up close?
To me it looks decent from a small distance, but I just don't know and want to get some input here. I am not a stranger as to the properties of a wash and how they work as I used to paint gaming minis for years and won several contests, however, that is on a much smaller scale than I am working with now.
The first pic is a combo of my trashcan armor collar (bottom...duh) and my BM collar (top). On the trashcan I sprayed with Rustoleum Spruce Green, airbrushed darker spots of Spruce/Ultra Flat Balck Mix, and highlighted again with Spruce (airbrushed this time)...
The BM is airbrushed US Med Green, then Acrylic black/washer fluid wash, then dabbed away with paper towel...
BTW I never finished the weathering on the trashcan collar or added the yellow.
Here is an up close pic of the BM collar showing the mottling look...
The chrome underneath is masked off still as I don't want to remove until I think I am on the right track with this.
Any ideas or input is, as always, greatly appreciated.
