Pretty much every compact digital camera on the market has a zoom lens, and of course there is a wide range of zoom lenses available for all digital SLRs, as well as a variety of non-zoom lenses with different focal lengths. A zoom lens is one that has a variable focal length. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at what focal length means, and some of the effects you can achieve by varying it.
The focal length of a lens is an expression of its magnification power, and is usually stated in millimetres. If you look on the front of your camera, usually inscribed around the front of the lens you'll find the focal length range. (If it's not there, take a look in your manual on the specifications page. It'll be there somewhere.)
For most 3x zoom digital compacts with 1/2.5in sensors the focal length range will be in the order of 5.8-17.4mm. Sometimes written next to this is the equivalent focal length on a 35mm camera. For 3x zooms this will usually be around 35-105mm.
The reason for quoting both the real and the equivalent focal length is simply that more people are familiar with the sizes of 35mm lenses, so they know that 35mm is wide angle and suitable for panoramic shots, or that 105mm is a short telephoto, suitable for portraits and medium-range subjects.
The reason the real and equivalent focal lengths are different is a bit more complicated. Basically it is because digital camera sensors are a lot smaller than a frame of 35mm film, and are fitted much closer to the lens than the film would be. Compact camera sensors of the 1/2.5in type are usually about 5.76 x 4.29mm, although exact sizes vary between different manufacturers, while a 35mm film negative is 36 x 24mm. Most digital SLRs use what is known as an APS-C sized sensor, which is around 21.5 x 14.4mm.
Because there are several different sizes of sensor, it is more usual for compact camera zoom lenses to be rated in terms of their magnification power, such as 3x, 4x, 10x etc. This relates directly to the focal length. A lens with a range of focal length from 5.8mm to 17.4mm is called a 3x zoom, because 17.4 = 3 x 5.8.
This means that when using lenses designed and calibrated for 35mm film SLRs on a digital SLR, a multiplication factor has to be applied to arrive at the correct focal length. For APS-C sensors this conversion factor is 1:1.5, so a lens that has a focal length of 100mm when used with 35mm film would have an apparent focal length of 150mm when used with a digital SLR using an APS-C sensor.
In the most basic terms, the focal length of a lens is the distance from the mid-point of the lens to the point at which light rays parallel to the centre-line of the lens are focused, as in the diagram below.
While in older simpler camera lenses a 200mm lens would literally be 20cm long, modern optical systems use multiple lenses working in combination, which means that the light path can be shortened while still maintaining the same effective focal length. As a result quite powerful telephoto and zoom lenses can be relatively compact.
As for what constitutes wide-angle and telephoto, these are relative terms. On a 35mm film SLR with a standard viewfinder, a 50mm lens produces approximately the same view as a human eye, and is traditionally the standard lens for this type of camera. Generally anything longer than this is considered a telephoto, while anything shorter is considered wide angle. On a digital camera it's a bit harder to define, but for APS-C format DSLRs the cut-off point is approximately 35mm.
The shorter the focal length, the more the lens bends the light rays, and to cut a lot of mathematics short, the wider its angle of view, so a lens with a focal length of 28mm can fit a lot more of a scene into the frame than can a lens with a focal length of 200mm. On the other hand, the narrower field of view of the longer lens means that distant objects appear larger in the frame.

A retrovirus known to cause leukemia and cancerous tumors in animals has for the first time been found in malignant prostate cells -- raising the intriguing question of its role in prostate cancer.
The retrovirus -- called Xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus, or XMRV -- was found in 27 percent of prostate cancers, compared to 6 percent of benign tissues examined by University of Utah and Columbia University researchers.
It also was associated with more aggressive kinds of tumors.
"We're not saying this virus causes cancer," said Ila R. Singh, associate professor of pathology at the U. and the senior author of a study published online Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "The best we can say is it is associated with prostate cancer."
Prostate cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in men. Discovering XMRV to be its cause could lead to new diagnostic tests and perhaps a vaccine, though Singh said the latter could be difficult. Researchers so far have been unsuccessful in developing a vaccine for HIV, another retrovirus.
XMRV first was isolated by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco and the Cleveland Clinic. Singh, who during the past decade had been studying a related virus that causes leukemia in mice, was curious.
Viruses, she said, now are known to cause several kinds of cancer. The human papilloma virus, or HPV, has been linked to cervical cancer. Epstein-Barr, a common herpesvirus, has been strongly associated with nasopharyngeal carcinoma; and chronic infection with hepatitis C virus and/or hepatitis B virus is believed to cause the majority of liver cancer cases.
Still, researchers haven't exhaustively explored every kind of cancerous tumor for the presence of a virus, partly because they don't always know what they are looking for, she said.
The UCSF and Cleveland Clinic's isolation of XMRV from prostate cancer tissues in 2006 was her first clue. Researchers there had not looked at nonmalignant prostate tissues, so were unable to link XMRV to prostate cancer.
Singh said retroviruses work by getting inside cells and inserting a copy of their DNA into the cell's chromosome, which then becomes part of all the cell's progeny.
This "integration" is random and can happen anywhere in the chromosome. If it happens next to the gene responsible for cell growth, however, the cell is programmed to reproduce itself, leading to the formation of tumors.
In another important finding, Singh and her colleagues also showed that susceptibility to the retrovirus is not enhanced by a specific genetic mutation, as was previously reported.
If XMRV were caused by that mutation, only the 10 percent of the population who carry the mutated gene would be at risk for infection with virus. But Singh found no connection between XMRV and the mutation, meaning the risk for infection may extend to the population at large.
Singh said she is developing a test to detect XMRV antibodies in blood to gauge how prevalent the retrovirus may be in the general population.
And she is trying to find out how it gets around.
The U. researcher's team has collected hundreds of cervical tissue samples from women, and seminal fluid samples from men, to explore whether it is sexually transmitted.
Yet other avenues for exploration are whether XMRV is found in different organs -- Singh's team will study randomly collected tissue samples taken during hundreds of autopsies of men and women -- and whether it plays any role in causing breast cancer. The retrovirus has a "hormonal-responsive element" in its genome, she said, which is significant since some kinds of breast cancer are hormone responsive.

He called the hardware side of the tablet market cutthroat and very difficult although he praised Apple, which he didn't mention by name, for doing tablets well enough to grab a majority of the market.
launched without a native calendar app and even more disturbing for a company that prides itself on doing email better than the other mobile firms, it launched without a native email application.

Now Where Was I?
Have you ever found yourself looking for the last place you were working in a long Word document?
You know, it's a 10 – 20 – 30 page monster and you were working on something somewhere in the middle when you last saved and closed the document.
When you re-opened the document the cursor was on page one, top left corner. Now here you are patiently scrolling through the mess trying to find your lost location.
Want a quick way to go right back to the last place you edited?
Yes. (Of course, who wouldn't want to eliminate all the searching?)
Next time you need to return to the exact location of your last edit simply try Shift + F5.
Yep—it's that simple.
Two easy keys, Shift + F5 does the trick!

Thursday 5th July, 2007
8:00pm to 9:00pm
When the Google Maps API first became available, there were five property sites in the UK vying for clicks: Rightmove, Fish4Homes, Propertyfinder, Findaproperty, and PrimeLocation. These all operated on the same model and coveted exclusivity with their member agents, increasing the workload for the frustrated property searcher. At the same time, their user interfaces were horrific, making the search experience slow and frustrating as well as incomplete.
We loved the Google Maps API and set out to change the face of property search with a completely map based user experience, up to 300 properties on screen at a time, and comprehensive listings aggregating data from all five of the portals. This is the story of the development of OnOneMap, and the technical challenges of a map mashup with half a million plottable points.

CWFC bantamweight title tournament semi-final: James Pennington vs. Kris Edwards
CWFC bantamweight title tournament semi-final: Brett Johns vs. David Haggstrom
Watch the final this evening on MMAjunkie.com at 9pm (UK).
Seeing as Jordan's first bout against Timur won't be aired tonight - please can you upload that so I can get stuck in before 9pm?
If you fancied sticking the Brett Caswell fight up I`d happily watch it ;)
Don't understand the people who were saying the Pennington - Edwards fight should of gone to a 3rd round, Edwards fought well but Pennington did enough to win both without having any question marks for me. As for Edwards "beating him up" well I don't know where to start on them claims lol
Hopefully we see Pennington fight for the title now.
pennington defo won both rounds in my eyes now. surely he must get the first shot aswell, providing his ankle is ok because he won his fight to put him in the final
Kris is a friend of mine and after watching the fight live I thought he deserved the 3rd round and told him so, after watching the video James clearly won both rounds. Kris took some serious knees to the face both good tough fighters
Main card repeat just started here...

Glickman Announces New Rapid Test For Antibiotic-Resistant Salmonella; Also Touts Clinton Administrations Leadership in Promoting Food SafetyBy Jill Lee
January 20, 1999
NASHVILLE, Jan. 20--Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman today announced that U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists have developed a technique to rapidly detect DT104, a potentially deadly strain of Salmonella bacteria that resists many antibiotics. The researchers found a key gene sequence, present only in this virulent strain of Salmonella, that allows for quick identification.Quickly identifying outbreaks of this bacteria is vital to protecting public health, said Glickman. This important research cuts identification time from six weeks to two hours.
The sooner physicians know that they are dealing with DT104, the sooner they can begin the aggressive treatments needed to combat the bacteria. Delays in identifying DT104 almost cost a Vermont dairy farmer her life in 1997 and killed 14 of her cows. The pathogen has killed people in Great Britain and sickened children in Nebraska.
No test kit currently exists to use the new technique to detect DT104. This discovery opens the door to development of test kits, Glickman said. He added that such a kit might be able to detect the pathogen in blood samples or in run-off water from animal production.
Lance Bolton, Lynda Kelley and Paula Cray, scientists at the Agricultural Research Services Poultry Microbiological Safety Research Unit in Athens, Ga., worked closely with University of Georgia researchers to develop the new DT104 test.
Glickman also praised the Clinton Administrations record of accomplishment on promoting food safety. He said the Administration would seek an additional $106.9 million for food safety activities in the fiscal 2000 budget proposal.
President Clintons National Food Safety Initiative is enhancing inspections, expanding cutting-edge research, and promoting foodborne disease surveillance, Glickman said. And the results demonstrate that our comprehensive, farm-to-table strategy is working.

Gather up your kids and their friends this summer and host a reading-under-the-stars party. No need to travel to a campground site -- just set one up in your own backyard or living room.
Bid farewell to vacation and welcome fall with a backyard party that's fun for all.
Celebrate the boy wizard's birthday, or observe your child's own with a Harry Potter birthday party.
Crafting homemade invitations, decorations, and more adds a personal touch to your child's birthday party.

There's no two ways about it: Shoboshobo are barking. Another one of those blooming 'collective' things, these artists and illustrators travel the world painting murals, having exhibitions, doing the odd radio show, living the life of Riley…
Their line of sweatshirts is not for the faint-hearted featuring as they do characters being torn apart and big monsters eating people. They kind of look like they've been designed by your kid brother after he's had too much Kia Ora.
Still it's not a bad look. You can get hold of them by e-mailing them through their website.

phobic delirium
psychotic paralysis
Type five people care more than most about the inner workings of things. They can become trapped by a compulsion to figure things out. One of their talents is an intuitive ability to directly perceive the structure of reality
Except in rare cases, people of type five show a flavoring from one of the two adjacent wing points, so we can say they are five with a four wing (5/4) or five with a six wing (5/6).
Like all humans, fives also come in three instinctual flavors: social (5sc), sexual (5sx), or self-preserving (5sp). In addition, fives also experience nine distinct levels of mental-emotional health (briefly described by the phrases at the top of this page). Therefore, it is possible to distinguish fifty-four distinct subflavors of type five.
five with four winggeneral description
Average 5/4 is the prototype personality for research scientists. Analytical and detached from their emotions, but passionate about beauty and truth, they want to find the ultimate, simple explanation for everything. Their intellectual fiveness makes them likely to engage in long, professorial monologues, while their four-wing gives them a shy self-consciousness. Unlike the more depressive 4/5, they are likely to have a generally optimistic view, although they can get depressed if they become overwhelmed by the world's demands. 5/4s are usually less interested in social interactions than the more other-dependent 5/6.
balanced and transcendent states
Balanced 5/4 is more able to participate in life. When the fiveish desire to withdraw and sort things out is no longer compulsive, then the consciously chosen time alone becomes a tool for understanding the world, rather than an entrapping habit. The fourish passion for beauty emerges as the conscious result of harnessing the emotions rather than being their slave. Healthy 5/4s begin to deeply understand the simple, elegant way that the awesome complexity of the world emerges from fundamental principles. They find great joy in watching and learning.
When the perception of five and the passion of four are augmented by eight's power and leadership, plus one's intuitive wisdom, clear comprehensions can be transmitted to others. Very balanced 5/4s can be tremendously creative teachers of How The World Works, who explain things with clean, elegant sentences. Yet for all its simple clarity, their teaching carries with it a profound appreciation for the subtle beauty of Creation. Come with me on a journey of discovery. Let's look together at the awsome profundity of Nature and Consciousness.
unbalanced and unhealthy states
Unbalanced 5/4 gets lost in the details. The compulsive analysis of five can lead to elaborate pseudo-logical constructions designed to explain everything. The four-wing's emotionality adds a flavor of dramatic hopelessness. Others Simply Do Not Understand. No one could understand. So 5/4 retreats to a place of safety, hoping to escape from view, continuing to uncover the truth. There is little to no social involvement.
In the extreme, the panic and scattered mania of seven combine with twoish self-congratulatory hysteria. In a seeming reversal, 5/4 can come back into the world, awkward and excitable, ready to bolt but equally ready to passionately defend a bizarre, baroque fantasy world. As inner tension builds, schizoid withdrawal becomes more and more likely. The end result is a kind of terrified fugue, completely cut off from reality. The only escape from the constant overwhelming chaos is inward.
physical appearance
5/4 is generally not much into appearance. Reasonable, ordinary clothing, not too bold. Comfort is quite important. Glasses are common Ñ maybe a result of a great deal of careful examination of tiny objects during childhood? There is often a rumpled, dissheveled quality. The exceptions are those well-dressed 5/4's whose four-wings impel them towards an aesthetically appealing appearance. Also, note that sometimes unhealthy 5/4s can dress and act in sevenishly colorful ways.
Some 5/4s find work that combines intellect and aesthetics. Cosmologists, futurists, science fiction authors. Others dive deeply into some highly specialized discipline, becoming computer programmers, nuclear physicists, theoretical scientists, molecular biologists, surface scientists, or any of a thousand other highly technical jobs. There are 5/4 science reporters, poets, painters, and photographers. Of course, 5/4s can also be found doing many other kinds of work.
five with six winggeneral description
Suspicion combines with analytical detachment in average 5/6. The fiveish desire to know the reasons for everything combines with sixish skepticism to create a dry, sometimes intolerant personality. Because the six-wing wants to be liked, they want to be sociable and have friends. But the interaction of the sixish mistrust and the fiveish analysis makes it difficult for them to get close to very many people. They may have more trouble approaching others than the more sociable 6/5. Unlike 5/4, 5/6 may be more interested in politics than nature, more interested in conspiracy theories than physics theories.
balanced and transcendent states
Balanced 5/6 gains social ease. Deep perception and serene faith combine for a kind of knowing that focuses on the truth of human interactions. Healthy 5/6 overcomes the fear of intimacy and finds satisfaction in genuine relationships. A balance is struck between the urge to withdraw to sort things out and the desire to feel safe among trusted friends. The need diminishes to protect against deceit by constantly analyzing people, leading to greater comfort and depth in friendships.
The best of 5/6 brings together the powerful insight of five, the stamina and leadership of eight, the deep faith and genuineness of six, and the inner peace of nine. Extremely advanced 5/6 is a leader, using a magical level of perception to help others see themselves more clearly. Inspiring trust and respect, they explain human interactions in a way that teaches people to see the wholeness in the parts, demonstrating through their actions that society is one body.
unbalanced and unhealthy states
Unbalanced 5/6 becomes afraid of people. Mistrust interacts with reductionistic analysis, and the world begins to seem more and more threatening. Threeish competitive urges might emerge, combining with sevenish mania to create a kind of intense, argumentative combativeness that hides a deep sense of inadequacy. This unbalanced state turns people away, leading to a greater sense of isolation. Unhealthy 5/6 tends to rationalize that most people are not honest anyway, and since other people fail to recognize the value of their brilliant ideas, they are not worth knowing at all.
In the worst cases, paranoia and anxiety lead 5/6 into a terrifying spiral in which increasingly bizarre fabrications may be used to explain hallucinated meanings into even the most mundane events. Numbers, names, and shapes can take on enormous significance. Vast, intricate, imaginary conspiracies are clearly seen as Truth. The whole world is warped into a shape that supports an increasingly baroque inner model. There is a time during which violent acts are possible, just before the inner system collapses. In the end, the house of cards can fall suddenly, leaving 5/6 in a trembling fugue of total withdrawal.
physical appearance
5/6 is interested in fitting in, but not standing out, unless there is extreme identification with ideas, in which case there can be a tortured kind of threeish social aggression. Clothing is usually conservative and often quite understated. Sometimes there is a coarse, gritty sort of appearance. Hair might be a bit messy, glasses askew. The six wing (and its threeish stress) sometimes brings in a desire to look sharp and professional, but it is not usually accomplished as smoothly as a real three would do it. Healthy 5/6 often likes to dress well, although there usually must be a conscious effort.
Some 5/6es find work that combines non-threatening social interaction with rigorous intellectual exercise. Technical test engineers, chess players, historians, museum curators. Others use their social perceptions more directly, becoming psychologists, social commentators, novelists, social theoreticians, science popularizers. Many become scientists of different kinds, from embryologists to materials specialists. There are 5/6 magicians, psychic debunkers, computer engineers, interpreters, and math teachers. Of course, 5/6es can also be found doing many other kinds of work.

Financial Aid Awards are made by the Financial Aid Committee of the Board of Directors, and are based on independently verified demonstrated need. More than $750,000 is distributed annually to assist families. Approximately 20 percent of Cascia Hall students receive tuition assistance. For those receiving financial aid, the average award is approximately half the tuition. The maximum award is less than full tuition as families and students are encouraged to take a vested interest by contributing in some way to the significant financial obligation.
Parents applying for financial aid must complete annually the independent FACTS Management Grant and Aid Application which is only available online at www.factstuitionaid.com/facts/gaapp. No other forms are required by Cascia Hall. However, for verification purposes, FACTS will require income tax returns which must be immediately faxed or mailed upon completing your online application. Please follow up with FACTS to verify their receipt of your financial aid application and all supporting documentation. A FACTS Customer Care representative can be reached at 1-866-315-9262. Any inquiries to Cascia Hall should be addressed only to Mrs. Karen Tennery, CFO, 918-746-2606.
Please Note: Your financial aid application cannot be verified until your income tax return has been filed with the IRS and a copy received by FACTS. Cascia Hall will not assign a financial aid award without a verified application. The school can not accept your W2 forms in lieu of a completed and filed income tax return for the most current filing period, unless you are not required by the IRS to file a return. To avoid delays, you may want to consider filing your income tax return by March 15, even if it means that you must later file an amended return.
The deadline for submitting the online Grant and Aid Application, supporting income tax returns, and processing fee is March 15 of each year. Applications are considered complete when the supporting tax return and fee are received. Cascia Hall will mail financial aid award letters by mid-April. Requests for assistance received after March 15 will be considered if funds are still available.
A signed contract and deposit ($550 for new students and $500 for returning students) must be received from accepted students before they will be considered for financial aid. For new financial aid applicants only, Cascia Hall will return the deposit (minus a $50 matriculation fee for new students) if financial arrangements cannot be satisfactorily resolved. A request for a deposit refund must be made in writing to the Headmaster.
The Catholic Diocese of Tulsa also uses FACTS Management. Catholic students attending Catholic schools in the diocese need complete only one FACTS management application to be considered for awards from both the diocese and Cascia Hall.
Family Discounts of $500 are available for second and subsequent students, unless the family is receiving financial aid from Cascia Hall. Family discounts are a form of financial assistance and will be granted upon request; they are not automatically applied. Family discounts must be requested in writing on an annual basis within the academic year prior to entry. Requests should be addressed to the Business Office and submitted with the contract. Family discounts requested after May 31 of the previous academic year are subject to denial.

The Cardio Myth
By Ethan Boldt
If you've taken up running, biking or swimming to get rid of a bulging belly, you're hardly alone. But you may be wasting your time. If you really want to lose weight, claims Alwyn Cosgrove -- a certified strength conditioning specialist who is also the co-author of The New Rules of Lifting for Abs and owner of one of Men's Health magazine's top 10 gyms in America, Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, Calif. -- standard aerobic conditioning is simply not the most effective way to do it.
All of the trainers at Results Fitness subscribe to the theory that cardio just doesn't work that well for fat loss. To find out why, we spoke to two of them. "It doesn't promote the lean tissue growth required to elevate your metabolism and turn your body into a fat-burning machine," begins fitness coach Brian Gilbert. Fellow fitness coach and certified strength conditioning specialist Charles Chattong goes on to explain that though you do burn more fat during cardio as compared to strength training, the minute the cardio stops, so does the fat burn. In contrast, he continues, "following a bout of high-intensity metabolic training [like weight training], the body's metabolism remains elevated for several hours."
So while the scale might tell you that you're losing weight doing cardio, Gilbert says a closer look at your body composition would reveal that hardly anything has changed. In fact, the weight loss you're seeing is usually the result of muscle loss. "Long bouts of aerobic conditioning will actually become a muscle-wasting exercise, which will lower your basal metabolic rate [how many calories you burn a day] and hinder your ability to burn fat," he says.
In other words, your body will actually begin to tap into your hard-won muscle stores in order to meet the energy demands of the exercise. In a nutshell, says Gilbert, "you weigh less, but you've simply become a smaller version of your previous self." Ouch … not exactly the goal most guys have in mind.
What we want is less fat and leaner muscles, right? So after chucking the cardio (and suddenly having much more training time at your disposal), your next step is to incorporate what Gilbert says are the two key components of any great fat-loss program: 1) Excellent nutrition and 2) Strength training that will increase your lean tissue and kick that metabolic rate into high gear.
Specifically, Chattong recommends that you embark on a program with both full-body metabolic resistance training and high-intensity interval training -- a combination that places a significant anaerobic demand on the body. That demand, says Chattong, ramps your metabolism up without sacrificing lean muscle mass.
To shed the fat and begin to sculpt the physique you desire, follow the workout below, which was designed by Chattong:

My Neighbor and his son both have silverados and both are claiming 21mpg + but only after they got about 5000 miles on the trucks. they were getting around 12 at first. The prices are WAY down on trucks right now and it looks like it is time to buy.
waterfowlhunter wrote:It will probably end up being a GM as I get the employee discount and my dad gets extra discount vouchers all the time. I can get a supplier discount on a dodge but not sure if they will still be around in the comming years.
I read that International will purchase the Jeep brand and GM is trying to buy chrysler but does not want the dodge division. I also read that international is going to bring the scout back out and supply MB diesels in the entire jeep line.
It will all depend on if I can find a used one with VERY low miles at the right price. if Not I will just buy new and deal with the DPF. My plan is to be burning Cooking oil in it after the warranty is up.

The village of Concord, Massachusetts, lies an hour's ride from
Boston, upon the Great Northern Railway. It is one of those quiet New
England towns, whose few white houses, grouped upon the plain, make
but a slight impression upon the mind of the busy traveller hurrying
to or from the city. As the conductor shouts "Concord!" the busy
traveller has scarcely time to recall "Concord, Lexington, and Bunker
Hill" before the town has vanished and he is darting through woods and
fields as solitary as those he has just left in New Hampshire. Yet as
it vanishes he may chance to "see" two or three spires, and as they
rush behind the trees his eyes fall upon a gleaming sheet of water. It
is Walden Pond--or Walden Water, as Orphic Alcott used to call
it--whose virgin seclusion was a just image of that of the little
village, until one afternoon, some half-dozen or more years since, a
shriek, sharper than any that had rung from Walden woods since the
last war-whoop of the last Indians of Musketaquid, announced to
astonished Concord, drowsing in the river meadows, that the nineteenth
century had overtaken it. Yet long before the material force of the age
bound the town to the rest of the world, the spiritual force of a single
mind in it had attracted attention to it, and made its lonely plains as
dear to many widely scattered minds as the groves of the Academy or the
vineyards of Vaucluse.
Except in causing the erection of the railway buildings and several
dwellings near it, steam has not much changed Concord. It is yet one
of the quiet country towns whose charm is incredible to all but those
who, by loving it, have found it worthy of love. The shire-town of the
great agricultural county of Middlesex, it is not disturbed by the
feverish throb of factories, nor by any roar of inexorable toil but
the few puffs of the locomotive. One day, during the autumn, it is
thronged with the neighboring farmers, who hold their high festival
--the annual cattle-show--there. But the calm tenor of Concord
life is not varied, even on that day, by anything more exciting than
fat oxen and the cud-chewing eloquence of the agricultural dinner. The
population of the region is composed of sturdy, sterling men, worthy
representatives of the ancestors who sowed along the Concord shores,
with their seed-corn and rye, the germs of a prodigious national
greatness. At intervals every day the rattle, roar, and whistle of the
swift shuttle darting to and from the metropolitan heart of New
England, weaving prosperity upon the land, remind those farmers in
their silent fields that the great world yet wags and wrestles. And
the farmer-boy--sweeping with flashing scythe through the river
meadows, whose coarse grass glitters, apt for mowing, in the early
June morning--pauses as the whistle dies into the distance, and,
wiping his brow and whetting his blade anew, questions the
country-smitten citizen, the amateur Corydon struggling with imperfect
stroke behind him, of the mystic romance of city life.
The sluggish repose of the little river images the farmer-boy's life.
He bullies his oxen, and trembles at the locomotive. His wonder and
fancy stretch towards the great world beyond the barn-yard and the
village church as the torpid stream tends towards the ocean. The
river, in fact, seems the thread upon which all the beads of that
rustic life are strung--the clew to its tranquil character. If it were
an impetuous stream, dashing along as if it claimed and required the
career to which every American river is entitled, a career it would
have. Wheels, factories, shops, traders, factory-girls, boards of
directors, dreary white lines of boarding-houses, all the signs that
indicate the spirit of the age, and of the American age, would arise
upon its margin. Some shaven magician from State Street would run up
by rail, and, from proposals, maps, schedules of stock, etc., educe a
spacious factory as easily as Aladdin's palace arose from nothing.
Instead of a dreaming, pastoral poet of a village, Concord would be a
rushing, whirling, bustling manufacturer of a town, like its thrifty
neighbor Lowell. Many a fine equipage, flashing along city ways--many
an Elizabethan-Gothic-Grecian rural retreat, in which State Street
woos Pan and grows Arcadian in summer, would be reduced, in the last
analysis, to the Concord mills. Yet if these broad river meadows grew
factories instead of corn, they might perhaps lack another harvest, of
which the poet's thought is the sickle.
"One harvest from your field
Homeward brought the oxen strong.
Another crop your acres yield,
Which I gather in a song,"
sings Emerson, and again, as the afternoon light strikes pensive
across his memory, as over the fields below him:
"Knows he who tills this lonely field,
To reap its scanty corn,
What mystic crops his acres yield,
At midnight and at morn?"
The Concord River, upon whose winding shores the town has scattered
its few houses--as if, loitering over the plain some fervent day, it
had fallen asleep obedient to the slumberous spell, and had not since
awakened--is a languid, shallow stream, that loiters through broad
meadows, which fringe it with rushes and long grasses. Its sluggish
current scarcely moves the autumn leaves showered upon it by a few
maples that lean over the Assabet--as one of its branches is named.
Yellow lily-buds and leathery lily-pads tessellate its surface, and
the white water-lilies--pale, proud Ladies of Shalott--bare their
virgin breasts to the sun in the seclusion of its distant reaches.
Clustering vines of wild grape hang its wooded shores with a tapestry
of the South and the Rhine. The pickerel-weed marks with blue spikes
of flowers the points where small tributary brooks flow in, and along
the dusky windings of those brooks cardinal-flowers with a scarlet
splendor paint the tropics upon New England green. All summer long,
from founts unknown, in the upper counties, from some anonymous pond
or wooded hillside moist with springs, steals the gentle river through
the plain, spreading at one point above the town into a little lake,
called by the farmers "Fairhaven Bay", as if all its lesser names must
share the sunny significance of Concord. Then, shrinking again,
alarmed at its own boldness, it dreams on towards the Merrimac and the
The absence of factories has already implied its shallowness and
slowness. In truth it is a very slow river, belonging much more to the
Indian than to the Yankee; so much so, indeed, that until within a
very few years there was an annual visit to its shores from a few sad
heirs of its old masters, who pitched a group of tents in the meadows,
and wove their tidy baskets and strung their beads in unsmiling
silence. It was the same thing that I saw in Jerusalem among the Jews.
Every Friday they repair to the remains of the old temple wall, and
pray and wail, kneeling upon the pavement and kissing the stones. But
that passionate Oriental regret was not more impressive than this
silent homage of a waning race, who, as they beheld the unchanged
river, knew that, unlike it, the last drops of their existence were
gradually flowing away, and that for their tribes there shall be no
So shallow is the stream that the amateur Corydons who embark at
morning to explore its remoter shores will, not infrequently in
midsummer, find their boat as suddenly tranquil and motionless as the
river, having placidly grounded upon its oozy bottom. Or, returning at
evening, they may lean over the edge as they lie at length in the
boat, and float with the almost imperceptible current, brushing the
tips of the long water-grass and reeds below them in the stream--a
river jungle, in which lurk pickerel and trout--with the sensation of
a bird drifting upon soft evening air over the tree-tops. No available
or profitable craft navigate these waters, and animated gentlemen from
the city who run up for "a mouthful of fresh air" cannot possibly
detect the final cause of such a river. Yet the dreaming idler has a
place on maps and a name in history.
Near the town it is crossed by three or four bridges. One is a massive
structure to help the railroad over. The stern, strong pile readily
betrays that it is part of good, solid stock, owned in the right
quarter. Close by it is a little arched stone bridge, auxiliary to a
great road leading to some vague region of the world called Acton upon
guide-posts and on maps. Just beyond these bridges the river bends and
forgets the railroad, but it is grateful to the graceful arch of the
little stone bridge for making its curve more picturesque, and, as it
muses towards the Old Manse, listlessly brushing the lilies, it
wonders if Ellery Channing, who lives beyond, upon a hill-side sloping
to the shore, wrote his poem of "The Bridge" to that particular one.
There are two or three wooden bridges also, always combining well with
the landscape, always making and suggesting pictures.
The Concord, as I said, has a name in history. Near one of the wooden
bridges you turn aside from the main road, close by the Old Mause

Lifting and hoisting
I was reading an interesting backstory on a TV antenna collapse after seeing a video on Youtube which included a clip of it in a longer "Engineering marvels" video.
The document explains the sheer forces extremely well, and it's one we all have to deal with when using hoisting devices etc.
The job was installing a 1700 or so foot tall TV antenna tower, the last section that had to go up was according to the video 6 tons, but according to the document the riggers thought it weighed 1,000# I don't know where the discrepancy in that is but it's not extremely important for this post.
The section contained the microwave baskets which were sealed at the factory, the lifting ears worked fine to get it off the flatbed truck but not to hoist it vertically without the hoisting cable damaging the baskets.
The antenna co refused to allow the baskets to be removed for the hoisting, and refused to suggest how to hoist it, so the riggers came up with an on site jury rigged extension to clear the baskets.
The extension was a steel channel about 6' long and bolted to the ears with two 1/2" dia U bolts.
Figure 1 shows the rigger's assumption for the sheer forces on the two U
They selected bolts they thought were strong enough, rated at 1,200# each and they thought the 2 would be plenty for the 1,000# section (it MAY have actually been 6 tons or 12,000#)
Figure 2 shows what they should have used for their calculations:
Note that the 6' long extension acts on this exactly like a crow bar! That changes the whole dynamics and puts a LOT more stress on the bolt on the right (they were spaced about one foot apart)
The riggers did not have an engineer on staff, and the antenna mfr refused to even look at their hoisting device despite being requested to do so.
They managed to get this up to 1,000 feet before the U bolts broke, there were 3 riggers riding INSIDE the section being raised and 2 on the tower to keep the section from hitting the tower etc.
Between 5 and 7 (again conflicting numbers) were killed when the whole tower collapsed- the falling section sheared one of the guide cables on the way down and the the whole thing came crashing down.
It was found the bolt mfr's specs on the U bolts was wrong, and that the bolts were half the rated strength, they settled out of court, but even with bolts properly rated for the 1,200# the riggers thought they were, their amateur design for the lifting extension unknown to them was putting 7 times the sheer force on the right hand bolt than the left hand bolt due to the lever action of the 6' long channel they used.
They also had 3 men riding up inside the section adding their weight too, figure maybe another 500-600#
Some of the back story:
They thought two bolts rated at 1,200# each were enough to lift what they thought was 1,000# load, and if both bolts had equal loading they would have, maybe, because they were "rated" to hold 1,200# but upon tests were found to be half that: 600# which means the two bolts together would only have supported 1,200# total before breaking. They might still have gotten away with it with a straight up lift and even forces on both bolts, but the 6' extension caused 7 times the sheer force on one bolt (which then was using the other as a pivot point as can be seen in the diagram) plus the weight of the 3 men added in. So the 1,000# section they thought the thing weighed added to the 500-600# of workers they apparantly forgot to factor in! meant they were lifting 1,600# with 2 bolts they were led to believe would hold 1,200# each (2,400# total) leaving only an 800# margin of safety.
You add in the force of movement, stopping, starting, men moving around and that 800# is used up.
In actuality they were lifting 1,600# with bolts that ultimately were only going to hold 1,200# and that's what happened, the bolts failed, the right hand bolt would have failed even if they were actually at the rated capacity, and with the loss of that one, the other one would have snapped as well.
Make sense RWolff.

Makes 24
Blini are the one Russian dish that has migrated around the world to smart restaurants and parties everywhere. They could have been specially designed as finger food in fact-each blin is about 1 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter, a perfect one-bite snack (or two bites if you're being dainty!) You can buy cocktail blini in many supermarkets and delicatessens, but usually they're not made authentically with buckwheat flour. Be different!
1 cup buckwheat flour
or half and half with all-purpose flour
1 package active dried yeast (1/4 oz.)
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg separated
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup lukewarm milk
1 tablespoon butter for sautéing
To serve:
Crème frâiche or sour cream
Small pots of caviar and/or salmon keta
Herbs, such as snipped chives and dill sprigs
About 4 pieces smoked salmon, finely sliced
Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Beat the egg yolk with the sugar and 3/4 cup warm water and add to well. Mix well, then cover with a damp cloth and let rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Beat in the milk to make a thick, creamy batter. Cover again and leave for 1 hour until small bubbles appear on the surface.
Beat the egg white to soft peak stage, then fold it into the batter.
Heat a heavy-bottom skillet or crêpe pan and brush with butter. Drop in about 1 teaspoon of batter to make a pancake about 1 inch indiameter. Cook until the surface bubbles, about 2-3 minutes, then flip the blini over with a spatula and cook the second side for 2 minutes.
Put a plate in the oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining blini. Don't put the blini on top of each other. Serve them warm.
To serve, top with a spoonful of crème frâiche or sour cream, some snipped chives or dill sprigs, and a small pile of caviar or keta or a curl of smoked salmon.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 400 degrees for about 5 minutes.

Salman Khan, it is being said, has set his eyes on this hot damsel from the west to star opposite him in some of his upcoming films. Meet Angela Jonsson, a Kingfisher model with mouth-watering lips, hour glass figure and endless legs. To some, she is also known as Ranbir Kapoor's former flame. And to you, she may just be the next ht girl to watch out for.
Her Bollywood career is yet to take off and she is already being slated by many as the next big thing. There is too much hype and hoopla riding on her slender shoulders at the moment with some of the biggest film makers in the industry bombarding her with offers. The latest report reveals that she has been signed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala for his production house Grandson Entertainment. Apparently, she is readying herself to make that huge splash in the lucrative pools of Bollywood.
"Last week, we signed a deal with Angela. She's now attending dancing and acting classes. She seems to be very promising," quips an excited Sajid Nadiadwala. Sajid has a multiple number of projects lined up and he is yet to decide in which film he will cast the brunette. He may cast her in more than just one film.
Grapevine also has it that Angela may star in 'Kick', a film to be directed by Shirish Kunder starring Salman Khan. Besides, there has been a lot of talk going on about her pairing with Salman in some of his home productions. Buzz has it that she is the frontrunner for Salman's 'Sher Khan', 'Partner 2' and remake of the golden classic 'Amar Akbar Anthony'.
While opportunities seem to be knocking at Angela's doors in plentiful numbers, we just hope she is a little more than just a hype. Hopefully, her role will have as much substance as does her body.

Thieves Like Us
Somewhat ironically, considering that their tastes tended toward the Teutonic -- including vintage Krautrock and David Bowie and Iggy Pop (particularly, one imagines, the arty glam-punk of their Berlin periods), in addition to hip-hop, Factory Records post-punk, and French touch house -- they failed to find favor with German clubgoers, and they eventually relocated to New York City. Their first recording, the ambivalently hedonistic, Daft Punk-influenced filter-disco calling card "Drugs in My Body," made the rounds for several years, seeing 12" releases on two Swedish labels in 2005 and 2006 before cropping up on Paris' tastemaking Kitsuné Music in 2007. That same year the trio self-issued an ambient/instrumental album, recorded in Berlin and titled Berlin, Alex, but it wasn't until late 2008 that their proper debut full-length, the moody Play Music, appeared on Austria's Seayou Records, with a North American release on Shelflife in April 2009. The delay was due in part to the bandmembers living in different international cities for different periods of time, but by 2009 they had all landed together in Paris. The band was prolific for the next few years, with tours and a smattering of releases, including many singles and 2010's full length Again And Again. New label Captured Tracks re-released Berlin, Alex in 2011 as the band shifted membership somewhat and worked on their fourth full length and first for their new label. The group added vocalists Martine Duverglas and Anna De Marco as well as drummer Dani Imhoff for the recording of Bleed Bleed Bleed, a darker album less touched by the rampant electronica of earlier efforts. The album was released in spring of 2012 and subsequent performances were planned to follow. ~ K. Ross Hoffman

UPDATE 3-Nomura posts Q1 profit as Lehman deal pays off
* Nomura says Lehman acquisition is paying off.
* Nomura turns profit on underwriting, trading
* Shares end down 0.7 pct before results (Writes through, adds an analyst comment)
By Junko Fujita
TOKYO, July 29 (Reuters) - Nomura Holdings Inc (8604.T: Cotización) posted its first profit in six quarters in a sign Japan's largest brokerage has started to leverage its acquisition of Lehman Brothers' assets to bolster its global presence.
Nomura is coming off a $7 billion loss in the past business year when it was weighed down by heavy costs to acquire Lehman's Asian, European and Middle East operations and merge its operations with the failed investment bank.
While taking a cautious tone on its prospects for a full-fledged profit recovery, Nomura said the acquisition was starting to pay off in an expanded reach in global equity and bond markets and in helping it land cross-border deals.
The brokerage, ranked as the No.1 equity underwriter in Japan in the April-June quarter, has also been in a prime position to profit from a rush by Japanese companies to sell shares into the recent upswing in the stock market.
"Nomura should be praised in a certain way for its purchase of Lehman," said Azuma Ohno, a brokerage analyst at Credit Suisse Securities. "Looking at the profit growth at its global market division, we can see how the acquisition has been working." Continuación...
