Since you use mainly the 28mm, you could simply limit yourself to the H4D and that lens and consider a well designed backpack for your wife. The H4D + 28mm weight about 2,5 Kg, not much more than a D800 and pro zoom.Your problem is that there is no lens comparable to the 28mm for 24x36 SLRs if you want that level of IQ... You could get a Leica M and a 21mm f3.5, that would be half the weight (and half the resolution), but the handling is completely different.
Good idea. Before giving up completely on the Hassie, the H4D50 with the 28 is what I'm going to try first. Maybe bring the 80 as it is very light.I can tote the H4D with the 80 on it and wife can carry the 28 with tripod. For the fun of it, this week I'm going to rent from the source above a Nikon D800 with a wide angle and do some comparison test shot against the H4D. Thus, next weekend we can drive up to Hillsboro, NC and do a walk around catching shots with both cameras, them come home and see if I can feel comfortable with the Nikon level of digital file compared to what I'm used to from the Hassie.Will post an update on my thoughts after I'm done with my test.Jack
For some time now I've been looking for a system that would become an addition to my Hasselblad H Series but with reduced girth and heft. The obvious candidates were the Nikon D800/E and the Leica M.My problem has been finding a lens for either system in the range 14mm to 21mm that matches the performance of the Hasselblad HCD 28/4. I've looked at so many files including those from the Zeiss 15/2.8, the Zeiss 18/3.5, the Zeiss 21/2.8, the Nikon 14-24/2.8, the Samyang 14/2.8, all for the Nikon, and the Leica 16-18-21/4, the Leica 18/3.8, the Leica 21/3.4, all for the Leica. Unfortunately I haven't found anything that comes close to the performance of the Hasselblad HCD lens and I'm now resigned to continuing exclusively with the Hasselblad until such time that Canon introduces a sensor that takes full advantage of the performance of the superb TS-E lenses.
The d800 has very good luminous detail - meaning if you convert to black and white -you'll probably be pleased. When I compared the d800 to my digital back, the color tonality was the area it was weakest in. So subtle changes in color (which I believe contributes to the perception of depth in an image) were not as well represented. I've posted this before, the d800 is a great camera, but I think they have used a selection of color filters with the purpose to increase their high iso ability of the camera at the trade off of color definition between pixels and small regions. Renting one as only you can determine how it will suit your requirements.
I would be much interested if someone has made a comparison using same raw converter and perhaps generating profiles using Color Checker Passport or something similar for different cameras. Not sure how much of the difference is depending on sensors, profiles or raw conversion.Best regardsErik
Hi,Thanks for the links. I did check out color reproduction using imatest, and the Nikon was a bit more accurate using standard LR 4 processing. Accurate is not the same as pleasant. I was not able to produce color profiles on the CC card, as it was a bit overexposed on both Nikon and Hassy. The reason I suggesting this is that to begin with any one using a given camera and a given raw convertor is tuned to that camera. Building your own profiles may give some insight and perhaps illuminate the differences between the two cameras. Insight is always good.Best regardsErik
The important thing here is that the OP isn't going to really miss anything IQ wise. Erganomics will be a bit different, imo better.Leica or Nikon D800e and he'll be well on his way.Add stitching and he'll be way above single frame capture with an MF
Fully agree. The 28mm is awesome. As well as the new 50mm II and the 100mm F2.
INo, my photography days are not over - I just have to adjust and work on finding my issue "entertaining" rather than limiting.

A FURTHER two aerial photographs have been revealed by a man who photographed Northwich and its residents for more than half a century.
In last week's Remember When we featured two pictures of old Northwich taken from the air by Peter Sumner, of Winnington Street.
He reached his lofty vantage point when working as a photographer for British Salt in Middlewich and was required to hire an aeroplane to monitor the company's lagoons.
This was a small part of a career that spanned 52 years and that started with a simple boyhood dream.
Peter, now 86, said: "I was always interested in photography ever since being a kid.
"When I was a boy in the 1930s The Beano came out," he said.
"For the first couple of weeks they had a prize with each comic and in the first one I got there was a negative, printing out paper and a cardboard sleeve that you would leave in the sun to develop.
"I thought it was magical and can remember it distinctly."
Peter had a studio in Witton Street throughout his career, started out in offices in Northwich Libary before moving to 99 Witton Street, where he was based for more than 40 years.
He retired when he was 72.
"I still take photographs – if not every day then at least every week," he said.
"I was working on a hobby my whole life.
"I was jumping for joy that people paid me to do what I loved doing.
"I enjoyed every single minute of it."
These pictures show two different angles of the River Weaver in Northwich town centre.
One shows both Town Bridge and Hayhurst Bridge, the looming gas tower and the Regal cinema, as well as a council yard between the two bridges.
The other shows Hayhurst Bridge, Navigation Road, Castle Street and Holy Trinity Church.

It took some time for things to come together, but Urban Meyer finally saw his No. 5 Ohio State (1-0) team let their size and strength advantage paved the way to a season opening win in Baltimore against Navy (0-1). Playing without Braxton Miller at quarterback, the Buckeyes offense lacked much to give Navy trouble for most of the afternoon, but eventually the Buckeyes found a way to wear down the Navy defense and take advantage of some holes down the stretch of a 34-17 victory.
The second half started in wild fashion. Ohio State's Darren Lee picked up and returned a fumble for a 61-yard touchdown early in the third quarter, but Navy stormed right down field with a quick four-play touchdown drive over 84 yards to regain the lead. Barrett unloaded a deep pass to Devin Street later in the third quarter for an 80-yard touchdown following a touchback on a punt. Ohio State went on to pull away in the second half by outscoring Navy 28-10 in the second half.
J.T. Barrett completed 12 of 15 pass attempts for 226 yards and a pair of touchdowns with one interception. Barrett also led the Ohio State running game with 50 rushing yards. In the end, the formula was a familiar one for Ohio State without Miller, although at times the absence of Miller was unmistakable.
Going into the season the biggest questions for Ohio State were probably focused on the state of the running game and the stability of the offensive line. One game in, those concerns will still need to be addressed in Columbus. In this game, Navy managed to show why those concerns were legitimate, and the Midshipmen even showed an ability to wear down Ohio State's defense at times. The Buckeyes had the talent to avoid letting it hurt them in the win column this weekend, but Meyer and his staff know what needs to improve moving forward.
Navy's quarterback, Keenan Reynolds, ran the football 23 times for 42 yards and a touchdown before being removed from the game late in the fourth quarter. Ryan Williams-Jenkins was Navy's leading rusher on the afternoon with 118 yards. Navy left points on the scoreboard though, but missed opportunities may not have led to a different outcome. The Buckeyes remain undefeated in the regular season since Meyer was named the head coach. Ohio State's two losses last season both came in postseason play.
Ohio State will return home to Columbus next weekend, and it should make for another good defensive battle. Virginia Tech will be the opponent, and the Hokies could bring one of the better defenses in the ACC to town with them. Virginia Tech's defense should be bigger and stronger than Navy's, so Ohio State will have to really work on getting more out of the offense.
Navy will head to Philadelphia next week for a game against Temple. The Owls are coming off a season-opening victory at Vanderbilt. Navy will not play a true home game in Annapolis until September 20 when they host another Big Ten opponent, Rutgers.

Multi-experience software design
I received a new book a few days ago: Pragmatic Thinking & Learning, by Andy Hunt, one of the authors of Pragmatic Programmer. The book is all about the way we think, and how our brain works in R-mode (rich mode) and L-mode (linear mode), the advantages of getting your R-mode in action and so on. Lots of interesting stuff and totally programmer oriented, so it's very easy to read.
But I'm not going to talk about the whole book (this is not a book review after all) but only focus on something which I found extremely interesting: expertise levels. Chapter 2 talks about the different expertise levels on any area: from novice to expert. Andy explains the Dreyfus Model which explains the different expertise levels by skill.
The basic skill levels are: novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient and expert. And what is really interesting is how at each level we react differently to the same things. Andy gives a great example: when you're a novice cooking and someone tells you "just cook it until it's well done", you're in big trouble! What "until well done" means? (I've found myself on that situation several times and that's probably why I loved the sample). For the expert it is clear: he knows what it means based on his previous experience, and knows done will take longer or shorter depending on several conditions, and will react accordingly. But, on the other hand, the novice needs clear rules. He doesn't want to bother with a lot of overwhelming stuff at the same time, if only someone could tell him the number of minutes to wait... Of course, things are not that simple, and the expert knows it's not only a matter of waiting a certain fixed number of minutes, but this information would greatly help the novice. Novices need recipes, clear rules to follow. Following the rules they'll advance and, step by step, they'll be discovering new information and maybe one day they won't need the rules anymore. The expert can write down a recipe with clear instructions, even the number of minutes to wait at each stage. Of course, he wouldn't ever follow his own instructions since he would under perform because there's much more to consider than a simple set of rules.
There's also a very interesting graphic describing general expertise distribution.
I was shocked to see that for most of us, no matter the time you spend on a given subject, advanced beginner will be our top level, and only a few will climb the ladder higher. Andy states that for a lot of people 10 years of experience (the minimum average time to become an expert) is only 1 year of experience repeated 9 times, since they won't make any progress.
The book continues talking about ways to climb the ladder and make the best possible use of our brain, but know I'm more interested in the implications of the previous statements.
First (and again this is borrowed from Andy), the methods we apply at work have to be tuned to the different levels of team players. Agile methods, the 21th century panacea, are for experts, so be careful when applied to novices. We've all heard that before probably, but it is very (very) easy to forget when we try to democratize our team, with nasty results.
And then, what about considering all the previous to design new software?
Let me explain it a little bit more: sometimes we write software which is really easy to teach to experts (for instance). They get the concepts rapidly (they already have the background) and jump into the details. They know what to look for, so they only need to find the actual implementations on your software. If you move to a new word processor you know you've to find how to put your text in bold, how to copy and paste, how to format paragraphs and so on. So the application can be better or worse but you know what you're looking for, it's just a matter of finding it.
Of course it is a whole different story when you're a newbie: you don't even know what to look for.
I see myself in this situation on a daily basis since I develop a version control system. For experts it is really easy to perform branching and merging with Plastic since they know what to look for, and they can do it in only a few clicks. But for a newcomer who doesn't master any of these concepts it is not that easy. Why should he branch in the first place? What's all this fuzz about merging? Why do you need smart branches?
Let's focus on the user interface: if we adapt the UI so it is good for experts, probably most of the novices will be lost. And the opposite is also true: let's code a number of built-in rules so we can guide the novices step by step, teaching how to work as they make progress, suggest what to do at each step, even forcing a well-known working pattern which is good for them (even if they don't know). The system would act as a teacher until the user grows up and can make his own decisions (sounds familiar?). Of course, experts will hate it since they'll be over constrained. There will be different ways to act at each step, and an expert would probably follow another path. He'll be annoyed by the over simplified UI or a step by step tutorial.
How can we balance between novices and experts? And, what's even more complicated, how can we adapt our software to the 5 different experience levels?
I think the answer is simple: there's no simple way to build a one size fits all solution if you want to target all the steps in the expertise ladder. Probably you can find a common solution for the first three levels, or the three upper ones, but I doubt you can share everything with only small modifications when you're targeting the full ladder. So, maybe we need some sort of multi-level UI which will provide completely different options (ok, based on the same core, it's the same package after all) to different skill sets. A good modular design, a well structured and detached UI and logic layers will be key for it. And then let your UI designers focus on the specific problems, give them freedom to find the best solution for each level, and adapt your software to the target audience as much as possible, even targeting each level separately.
This multi-level UI idea is not new but it's something I'd like to try myself at work in order to create self-teaching software (because, who read the manuals after all? :-P)

Honored to present a story from new Canadian Jones Ambassador Joe Lax! Based out of Pemberton, Joe is a pioneering Coast range freerider who lives to ride rowdy spine lines and seemingly untouchable faces. In this feature story Joe shares thoughts on the experience, pre-trip planning and snowpack analysis that allow him to safely shred some of the steepest lines around.
The Coast Mountains in southwest British Columbia has been my home base for many years. Having a solid network of partners and friends and living close to the alpine walls and spines in the Pemberton Valley it has helped to maintain the mountain lifestyle I value so much. Balancing the realities of life with the drive to adventure and snowboard has it's challenges, but every time I go into the mountains I am reminded that is worth it and it's why I live where I do.
The backcountry around Whistler and the Sea To Sky corridor can sometimes be a very busy place. A concentrated combination of sleds, helis and skins puts pressure on the powder resources. There is definitely a hunger to be in the mountains that pulses through the area, especially when the sky goes blue. The steep fluted terrain and consistent snow is a huge draw, attracting both film crews and powder hounds alike. This season, cold winter storms locked in for nearly three months providing bountiful amounts of cold pow at the expense of many sunny days.
Adventure and exploration is a big part of the riding I do with my friends. We try to distance ourselves from the crowds, but we also like to maximize efficiency by getting somewhere where we know the riding is good — especially when the high pressure windows are short. When spring finally sets in and the confines of the winter weather loosen their grip a huge playground exposes itself in every direction. The days are also longer, and the snowpack is deeper making the lines in the high terrain a lot more achievable.
The maritime snowpack that is prevalent in the area is the main reason we can step to the bigger terrain sooner. The snow that falls at warmer temps is denser and has the ability to stick to steep terrain— often coating vertical features that otherwise wouldn't be rideable. These consistent storms and moderate temps typically produce a faster settling snowpack, but this season has been a bit different that usual. During the early season we had more cold storms than I have every seen. The snow didn't stick well in the alpine, leaving it rockier and leaner than usual while the sub-alpine and tree-line received the deep, wind delivered snow.
The weather patterns changed during the month of March with snow falling at more moderate temps nearly everyday. The consistent snow helped bridge the weak layers in the thin pack while adding meters of base in the alpine over a relatively short period. Though the Coast mountains have a more stable snowpack then many other regions, we can still get funky layers in the snow like rain and sun crusts, surface hoar and facets.
With the predominant wind direction out of the Southwest, heavy storm cycles can create huge cornices over the North facing terrain in the Coast range. A healthy respect for cornices is crucial and knowing where you are and what is solid ground on a given ridge line can be key to survival. It's also in the back of my mind that a heavy cornice fall can have the ability to wake up suspect deep layers in the snowpack that have become dormant. I always prefer to be a moving target by avoiding or at least limiting exposure to cornices, especially during the heat of the day.
Relying on years of exploration and experience, pre trip planning is often just picking an area to ride with like-minded friends. We discuss our desired area to ride and whether it is achievable based on current conditions. Weather can change quickly and drastically around here so it's often necessary to go somewhere with terrain options for stormy weather.
Cracking into seemingly locked up north facing terrain can be challenging to say the least. Having experience with the area we have a good understanding of what it takes to make it on slope. I carry at least 30 meters of rope to have the ability to rappel in if need be. On this day, we decided we could get on slope by standing on what we knew was solid rock and chipping away the cornice to make an easy entrance. As the season rolls on sometimes it's a mandatory rappel as the height of the drop in gets extended and the exposure at the top of the lines is greater.
The avy forecast was rated moderate the day I rode this spine line. In general the stability was solid but I paid special attention to the potential of small windslabs as the high pressure brought heavy winds when the storms cleared. Choosing steeper, protected terrain can be safer at times as it's less affected by the wind and steeper slopes tend to clean themselves more often, reducing the load. If I can, when I drop into lines I try to do a initial cut of the slope to knock away any slab buildups on the top of the line.

With the steep spines and fluted features I like to ride, unexpected rocks, ice and heavy slough are all variables I think about. When dropping into lines with no fall zones I run through these variables in my head and make the call whether I can get down it safely and if I am feeling mentally confident as well. Certain terrain allows you to ride them in a right to left of left to right direction - this allows you to manage your slough. If the line is fall line I make the decision whether I need to go really fast or slower allowing the slough to move by. To me, this is part of the advantage of living near the mountains. If I'm not feeling something and the conditions aren't right I can come back some other time when they are. Whether that's in a few days, months or years from now, or maybe I never ride it. It's never worth the consequence if the conditions aren't right.
As winter turns to spring the dark north facing walls begin to receive light. My eyes open to new lines and possibilities that often causes a certain level obsession until the opportunity to ride them transpires. As we push deeper into the range - we utilize sleds, splitboards, ice axes and crampons to get into these remote zones to ride our dream lines. As much as I feel closed in sometimes by all the people that utilize the backcountry in the area there is always more to explore and it would take several lifetimes to see it all.

Four teens from Chicago were killed when their car skidded of a bridge and plunged into a creek in a rural part of northern Illinois.
Will County Sheriffs confirmed the bodies of two boys and two girls were found in the car in Forked Creek Tuesday morning on Ballou Road. The students from Wilmington High School, 60 miles southwest of Chicago, are between the ages of 15 and 17.
One of the families reported their child missing late Monday after the teens left home. Police were called to the creek around 7:30 a.m.
Will County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ken Kaupas told the Associated Press it appears the driver hit a patch of water or ice and lost control. The car tore through a guard rail on the bridge and plunged into the water. The creek's water level had risen after heavy rain and snow for the past week.
Crew pulled the submerged vehicle from the creek where four bodies were found.
Wilmington High School has not confirmed the victims were students there.
U.S. & World
The accident comes on the heels of a string of car crashes involving young people. Five teenagers died in west Texas over the weekend in a firey crash after their vehicle ran a stop sign and collided with a fuel truck.
Also over the weekend, six teenagers died in a stolen SUV that crashed and flipped into a pond.

DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- Before Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's address to the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday, many in the party -- including the delegates she had won -- were looking for her to preach unity.
A Clinton supporter exits the arena after hearing the New York senator's speech.
Some who witnessed her speech said she had done the job.
"You would have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to have the feeling of party unity after the speech Hillary Clinton gave," said Ginny Vickie, a Clinton delegate from Kansas.
Clinton made a case to supporters that they should unite behind Sen. Barack Obama, who became the party's presumptive presidential nominee after a long primary battle and is expected to accept the nomination on Thursday.
"Whether you voted for me or voted for Barack, the time is now to unite as a single party with a single purpose," Clinton said Tuesday night. Watch Clinton's full speech »
Moses Ross, a Clinton delegate from Oregon, was impressed. He said the speech showed class. Watch Clinton say Obama and Sen. Joe Biden are a great team »
"She understands that the unity of this party is tantamount to our success," Ross said. "As a Hillary Clinton delegate, I will listen to her and I will support Barack Obama." Watch Clinton call on Democrats to unite »
Steve Lucas, a 20-year-old delegate from Pennsylvania, said the speech showed Clinton is "devoted to Barack Obama becoming the next president." iReport.com: Are you in Denver?
"I think unity is possible. I came to the convention thinking it might not be," Lucas said. "I was kind of cautious about buying into it ... afraid that a lot of people weren't going to buy into it, that the convention was going to fall apart."
Lucas also said in the first two days of the convention, he saw "a lot of people ... trying to come around."
"Not everyone can get over Hillary, but people are moving on," he said.
The presumptive Republican nominee for president, Sen. John McCain, has made a concerted effort to reach out to Clinton backers, some of whom have said they'd vote for him because Obama defeated Clinton. Watch the McCain campaign discuss attracting Clinton's supporters »
Claudine Montano, initially a Clinton supporter, said she didn't think too many Clinton backers would back McCain now.
"I think when they heard Hillary tonight, they will go with Obama," said Montano, a New Mexico resident who is not a delegate.
Clinton delegate Emilio Seijo of Puerto Rico said he would take Clinton's advice and back the senator from Illinois.
"She told us we have to stand behind Obama to recover our nation," he said. "Both are committed to the Democratic platform. We are safe with Barack Obama. We are not safe with John McCain."
Not all Clinton supporters at the convention were persuaded to back Obama, however. iReport.com: Share your reaction to DNC speeches

As many of you might know, the SAT allows the use of calculators. However, you may wonder which calculator you should use for the SAT. This post will help you decide which calculator to get and how to use it most effectively on the SAT!
While the calculator is a helpful tool for the SAT, it is by no means necessary. In fact, here is what the College Board says about calculators:
Every mathematics question on the SAT can be solved without a calculator. However, using a calculator may be helpful for some questions.
Let's check out what that means and what calculator we may want to bring to the test.
Which calculator should I buy?
The optimal calculator for the SAT is not the fancy $100+ TI-84 with 900 features and a 200 page user guide, but instead a simple scientific calculator (click on the image to see 3 of our favorite models). While many of you may already have used the TI-83 through TI-93 in school, they are hardly necessary on the SAT, and far from the best choice on the test, unless you are very comfortable with them. The best calculators for the SAT will be those that do 3 functions: fractions without conversion to decimals first, exponents greater than 2, and roots greater than 2. If your calculator has these functions, it has all the processing power you need to for the SAT.
What functions do you need to master?
Even more important than which calculator you get is learning how to use it. Each calculator has its own particular key stroke order and preferences, and unless you are familiar with both of these quirks, you can easily make a mistake. Check out the example below:
Which of the following could be a if a2 = a + 6 ?
How might my calculator betray me?
This question should be pretty straightforward, and for many students it's a great opportunity to use Plugging In to avoid algebra. However, in order to test out the numbers in the choices you have to be able to make your calculator accurately give you a value for a2, which may not be as easy as it sounds. Many calculators (most notably the TI84+ models) will give you -9 as an answer if you punch in – 3 ^2. However, we should know that the real answer is 9. The key with the TI-84 through TI-93 is to use parenthesis all the time for everything. For this problem you'd want to punch in (-3)^2 in order to get the right answer.
What calculators shouldn't I bring?
So while most calculators will work great for the SAT there are a few that might be more harmful than helpful. These are the ones to avoid:
- Mom's grocery calculator
- Any calculator attached to a ruler
- Any calculator given out for free at a college fair
A few types of calculators are actually interdicted by College Board:
- Calculators with QWERTY (typewriter-like) keypads
- Calculators that contain electronic dictionaries
- Calculators with paper tape or printers
- Calculators that "talk" or make noise
- Calculators that require an electrical outlet
- Cell-phone calculators
- Pocket organizers or personal digital assistants
- Handheld minicomputers, PowerBooks, or laptop computers
- Electronic writing pads or pen-input and stylus-driven devices (the Sharp 9600-EL can be used without the stylus)
The key for your calculator is to make sure you know it intimately before the day of the test; in this way, you'll ensure that you know exactly how it functions and how to use it effectively.
If you have any other great calculator tips, let us know!

My grandmother, the artist
Writer shares history behind Coronado exhibit she curated featuring work by her grandmother and her students
In death, my paternal grandmother was larger than life. Because she died before I was born, I never knew Esther Painter Hagstrom.
I grew up surrounded by her life's work — mostly watercolors and etchings, an occasional oil and wood carving, enamel work and some ceramics. I wanted to be an artist like her, but, as the saying goes, I couldn't draw a crooked line.
I grew up hearing stories from my parents and their close friends — all graduates of Coronado High School. They pondered the symbolism of the trees in her landscapes. In lamenting her premature death of a cerebral hemorrhage at age 46, they wondered whether she had yet realized her full potential as an artist.
There was even a hint of scandal. Esther Painter Hagstrom was a single mother at a time when divorce was considered taboo. All these discussions took place in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I grew up, a world away from Coronado High School, where my grandmother taught art from 1939 to 1951.
Wherever I've lived, wherever I've traveled, I've made it a point to see art exhibits. By cultivating an appreciation of art, perhaps I was unconsciously compensating for never having met my grandmother.
Art Through the Generations
Participating artists: John Clampitt of Coronado; Sarah Mott Durand of Ashland, Ore.; Lois Drake Ferguson of San Diego; Patty Murphy Jepson of Coronado; John "Jack" Minchin of Encinitas; Dolores Bridges Mote of El Cajon; Doris Klindt Naccarato of Coronado; Hildegarde Jaeger Stubbs of Encinitas; and Celeste Walkup Usler of Puyallup, Wash.
When: Through May 31. 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday-Thursday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday-Saturday; 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
Where: Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave., Coronado
Admission: Free
Phone: (619) 522-7390
Online: estherpainterhagstrom.vpweb.com
Friends often commented that my home was like an art museum. My late parents had allowed me to take the canvases that they deemed to be my grandmother's lesser works. Now, decades later, the entire collection is mine.
The burden of family possessions weighs heavily, given I am an only child of only children. Finding a permanent home for my grandmother's art has been in the back of my mind since 1998, when I moved to San Diego for reasons of family emergency.
On talking with the Coronado High School classmates of my late parents, the idea of exhibiting my grandmother's works with those of her students emerged. Tracking down the ones who went on to become accomplished artists was easy for me, a veteran reporter for daily newspapers.
In a surprise, a few students found me. A 1939 photograph of my father and grandmother (then a mother with her young son), published by The San Diego Union-Tribune and Mesa College for their joint "Who We Are — Faces of San Diego 2000" project, prompted several letters and telephone calls. My research file for Esther Painter Hagstrom grew.
While learning about my grandmother from her students, I gained additional insight from a colleague. Mary Ellen Wild Woodhouse Munckton, 93, a retired music teacher for the Coronado School District, has the perspective of a friend as well as a peer. She and my grandmother socialized at the Hotel del Coronado's dances for military officers. During the 1940s, they campaigned for and won equal pay for women teachers.
About a year ago, the timing to organize an art display was right. The Coronado Public Library had just dismantled an epic centennial exhibit commemorating Coronado as the birthplace of naval aviation. Unbeknown to me, the library's expansion several years prior was designed to accommodate paintings and sculptures, including two fresco murals of the great Mexican muralist Alfredo Ramos Martinez.
Although Esther Painter Hagstrom is relatively unknown, like Martinez she is forever linked to the community, which interested the library. Just across the street, she taught art at Coronado High School for 11 years. Through teaching, she influenced a few generations of Coronado residents, whether or not they later took up art as a vocation or hobby.
Some of her San Diego landscapes capture a sliver of the past, such as her depictions of the "rainbow fleet," small sailboats that the Hotel del Coronado rented to guests. In fulfilling its missions of presenting art to the public and preserving local history, the library actually wanted to become the permanent home of Esther Painter Hagstrom's collection.
Exhibiting my grandmother's works with those of her students shows that teachers can make a difference and highlights the importance of art in public education. Coronado High School's strong arts program, which includes theater and music, dates to 1923. The school's extracurricular club for visual arts dates to 1947, when my grandmother served as its first adviser.
In preparing the exhibit, I turned to my grandmother's students for help in identifying the subject matter of her works. For them it was easy because they have painted at the same spots — Balboa Park, La Jolla Cove, Sunset Cliffs, Coronado Beach, South Bay, San Diego's back country. Inspiring each generation, some landscapes are timeless.
The ongoing enthusiasm for art and attending workshops is striking among my grandmother's students, who range in age from 77 to 86. What's more impressive is the high quality of their watercolors, oils, acrylics, wood carvings and other works. Over time, my perspective has changed. The exhibit is more about them and less about my grandmother. Not only are these students alive, but they are larger than life.
Memories of Esther Painter Hagstrom
Dolores Bridges Mote of El Cajon (Coronado High School class of 1945) shared some of her fondest memories of her teacher:
Mrs. Hagstrom would take us across the streets into the parks to draw trees and flowers. While we drew, she would tell us the names and kinds of plants and how the seeds grew, how long it took, how to tell the age of trees and if the flowers were the type to be replanted each year.
When we were drawing people, she taught us bone structure, why our hands and feet worked and what made our joints move. When we drew buildings, she taught us architectural structure, why those buildings could stand and carry all that weight. She taught us to look for folds in clothing, shapes, and to watch for lighting and shade. Why color is brighter in sunlight and fades out in darkness.
She taught us linoleum block printing, silk screen and tie dying. Always making sure we understood why things look the way they do and how to put it down on paper in drawings or paintings.
I truly believe I learned more from her than any other teacher I ever had. When I visit art shops today, I still catch myself checking to see if the artist follows the rules I learned from Mrs. Hagstrom.

What ind of Headphones / Ear Buds should you buy?
Let's simplify all the information related to Ohm (Ohms), dB (Decibels) and Hz (Hertzs). There is a lot of technical information around the Internet trying to explain what they are, but they don't answer the quick, frequent question of what should I take into account when purchasing a new set of headphones?
TrebleClick aims to make your life easier, so we're going to simplify all that, and explain it in an easy-to-understand way:
Ohm, dB and Hz: what they are, what's their purpose, and why are they important?
- Ohm: Ohms are the Impedance of your headphones, or, in plain English: the resistance that your headphones oppose to the flow of an electric current. This determines the amount of power that reaches your headphones, in relation to the amount of power sent. More Ohms will require a higher power input value to work properly. If the resistance value is very high, your system will need an amplifier. You will find the nominal value of resistance in the technical specifications of your headphones. 16, 24 or 32 are usual Ohm values, and they should work for regular purposes.
- dB: The Decibels represent the Sound Pressure Level (SPL), or the audio volume power. Higher dB values will make the sound in your headphones be louder. But higher dB values will also lead to earlier distortion in such sound. The higher this volume value is, the closer to the distortion threshold you'll be.
- Hz: Hertzs are the Audio Frequency, and they actually are the most important parameter to take into account when considering the sound quality of some new headphones. The Hertzs represent the frequency range that your headphones will play back, from the lowest bass to the highest treble. This usually comes specified in minimum and maximum values, so the best headphone sets will have broader ranges, with a lower minimum, and a higher maximum. Human ear can hear sound frequencies ranging between 20 and 20.000 Hz.
Conclusion: what do I need in my headphones?
If you are a professional sound technician, or an expert, and you already have a pretty decent sound system, you won't probably even need to read this, and you may even disagree about some details. But if you are just an average computer user, avid gamer or designer, and the only thing you want is some headphones to use with your computer or laptop, the only things you need to take into account when choosing them are as follows:
- A higher dB value implies higher sound volume. The usual values are set around 112 dB/mW.
- Higher Ohm mean higher resistance values, and this means that you'll need higher input power values - otherwise, you'll experience a lower sound volume. Nominal Ohm values of 16, 24 or 32 are the most frequent ones.
- A higher Hz range will play more sound frequencies, providing higher quality sound playback. This is the other key parameter. 20-20.000 Hz is okay. From that point on, a broader frequency range (like 12-28.000 Hz) should have better sound quality, while a narrower frequency bandwidth (for example, 21-18.000 Hz) would provide lower sound quality.

It sounds like a cheesy crime, but Greeley's downtown officials are serious about recovering macaroni noodles stolen off of a 9th Street Plaza fork sculpture this weekend.
The noodles went missing sometime between Greeley's FridayFest and a downtown event on Saturday, said Alison Hamling, director of downtown experience for Greeley's Downtown Development Authority.
Now, the fork sculpture sits bare among a bed of flowers.
"I'm guessing late night alcohol was a factor," Hamling said.
Perhaps the bandit had the munchies?
"It's humorous in a way, but it is a serious crime," she said.
The sculpture is a part of Greeley's sculpture on loan collection, meaning it's still the property of artist Justin Deister, said Kim Snyder, Greeley's public art coordinator. She said the sculpture is valued at $8,000, and the city must pay for damage done to it while on loan. Deister's sculpture, titled "Say Cheese," is scheduled to stay in Greeley through the spring.
Hamling said the DDA's Facebook post on Saturday "seems to have gone viral," so she's hoping the thief will step forward.
"We don't expect drunken sots at 2 a.m. to be able to READ the signs all over the plaza that explain you are under video surveillance, but you are," the post says. "So how about you return those 'noodles' by end of day Monday and just pay for damages instead?"
Greeley Police Lt. Carl Alm said police have launched an investigation but would honor the DDA's desire not to file charges if someone came forward by the end of the day Monday.
"We'd like to give people a chance to reconsider and be decent," Hamling said.
The jokes abounded regarding the case of the missing noodles on the Tribune's Facebook page on Monday, ranging from advice to retain Yankee Doodle Dandy for questioning to simple puns: "Pasta matter with people?"
Snyder said the noodles would be relatively inexpensive to replace, but police and the city are taking the crime seriously.

Judge Delays Hearing for Marissa Alexander
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Florida judge on Tuesday postponed a decision on whether to hold an unprecedented second "stand your ground" hearing for a woman who received a lengthy prison sentence for firing a gun.
The Jacksonville judge on Tuesday set a hearing for August 1 on whether Marissa Alexander should be granted a second stand your ground self-defense hearing. Circuit Judge James Daniel also set a new tentative date of Dec. 1 for Alexander's second trial on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charges.
Alexander, 33, was convicted in May 2012 of three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and was sentenced to 20 years in prison under the state's minimum mandatory requirements, sparking an uproar from several observers and domestic violence activist groups.
Alexander says she acted in self-defense after her estranged husband beat her. The warning shots were fired near her husband and his two children.
The verdict was thrown out on appeal and a new trial was scheduled for July 28, but Alexander's attorneys requested she get a second stand your ground hearing ahead of the trial. Her attorneys also asked the judge to take into consideration new state legislation that would allow a person to fire warning shots if threatened. The legislation will become law if Gov. Rick Scott signs the bill.
Another judge ruled against Alexander in an earlier stand your ground hearing, leading to her trial and eventual conviction. Alexander's attorneys say they have new evidence that might have affected the outcome of the first hearing.
Daniel said a second stand your ground hearing is unprecedented in Florida.
Florida's stand your ground law says people who are not involved in illegal activity have the right to "stand their ground" and meet force with force, including deadly force, if they reasonably believe it's necessary to avoid death or great bodily harm.
At an earlier hearing, Daniel said deciding whether to hold a second hearing would be difficult.
"We're on new terrain," he said. "Nobody has ever considered this issue about whether you can come back and have another hearing."

Trelleborg tires will exclusively equip the new MF 5610 Antarctica2 Special Edition tractor. The new MF 5610 Antarctica2 has been launched by Massey Ferguson to celebrate one of its tractors reaching the South Pole in December last year.
Between November 2014 and January 2015, Trelleborg was Massey Ferguson's official partner for its tractor expedition to the South Pole, "Antarctica2". The 2,350 kilometres expedition saw 'Tractor Lady', Manon Ossevoort, drive a MF 5600 tractor to the Pole across treacherous snow and ice with a team of polar specialists.
Campbell Scott, Massey Ferguson Director Marketing Services, says: "The expedition and the tractor captured the imagination and the hearts of a worldwide audience, many of them working farmers who will be interested in buying their own version of this incredible machine. The journey to the South Pole was an epic, inspiring achievement and we're expecting strong demand for the Special Edition."
For the expedition, Trelleborg developed a special multi-purpose set of complete wheels, both tires and rims, which enabled the MF 5600 tractor to tackle the severe weather conditions of the Antarctic.
Trelleborg tires proved highly resilient, successfully coping with the harsh temperatures. Not only did the tires not freeze, but they remained soft, ensuring reliability and driver comfort throughout the journey. The main challenge the tire faced was that of traction when climbing glaciers. However, thanks to the additional grip provided by the ultra-deflection of the carcass and tire's wide footprint, the tractor experienced only minor slippage on the mountains.
"To reflect the contribution that Trelleborg made to the success of the Antarctica2 achievement, the first tractor with wheels rather than tracks to reach the South Pole and return safely, only Trelleborg tires will be fitted to the Special Edition tractor," continues Scott.
Paolo Pompei, President of Agricultural & Forestry Tires at Trelleborg Wheel Systems, comments: "The collaboration agreement between Trelleborg and Massey Ferguson on the Special Edition tractor is a strategic step forward, through which the two companies undertake to cooperate in product innovation and marketing to the benefit of their customers. The aim of the partnership is to offer the customer a state-of-the-art solution, conceived to maximize productivity and guaranteed to be extremely easy to use and very comfortable.
"Interpreting the needs of modern agriculture, and to the advantage of its customers, Trelleborg believes in cooperation between the agricultural industry leaders in all activities, from R&D to Marketing."

A Smart Energy Strategy in Japan: What's the Vision?
- Jan 30, 2013 3:00 am GMT
- 864 views
Japan's national energy strategy experienced a 9.0 quake of its own in 2011 as a result of the twin incidents of the March 11 tsunami and subsequent Fukushima nuclear accident. It rattled many assumptions about energy sources and electrical grid configurations for its major corporations too. A recent Silicon Valley Technology Forum hosted by Fujitsu served as an excellent opportunity to hear how these large-scale events have shaped thinking and R&D in the leading information and communications (ICT) company in Japan, which also happens to be the third largest ICT company in the world. Their thoughts and R&D can help contribute to North American ideas and directions to improve our energy surety as well as grid reliability and resiliency that the Smart Grid's modernization activities must deliver.
Fujitsu's Smart Energy vision focuses on three trends:
- local generation and consumption
- increased sensing and remote control in transmission and distribution grids
- increased demand response (DR) technologies and distribution grid-sited storage.
Local generation and consumption has a fair number of terms associated with it such as decentralized generation of renewable energy, in wide use in Germany as part of their Energiewende vision. The phrase distributed energy resources (DER) enjoys more use here in North America, and covers more technologies like energy storage and DR programs rather than have a focus solely on generation sources. While there are subtle differences in these terms, the end goals are the same, to use technology disrupters like solar panels (disrupted by virtue of technology, policy, and finance innovations) to redefine existing models of how electricity is distributed and managed.
Increased sensing and remote controls rely on technology innovations that are delivering a supply of cheap, low-powered, long-lasting wired and wireless sensors for a growing range of machine to machine (M2M) applications. Smart meters and phasor measurement units (PMUs) are two of the first applications within the energy sector, but there are emerging applications in smart cities, transportation, and personal health too. There will certainly be disruptive services as a result of M2M technologies. Smart meters enable proactive outage reporting – obviating the need for customers to call in to notify utilities of service interruptions. But other sensors attached to other equipment used in generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption of electricity will help us move from unrestricted consumption to sustainable consumption.
This transformation of consumption models is where DR and energy storage come into play. Consumption changes from a passive state to an active state and enables market participation in generation of negawatts or kilowatts. While negawatt generation is typically focused on DR programs, energy efficiency (EE) activities arguably could also be included in consumption. Manufacturers like Fujitsu are developing new circuits that reduce energy consumption by reusing energy stored in specific transistors. These circuits could show up in the power supply units of servers by 2014. Fujitsu demonstrated their OpenADR 2.0 server software which could send messages on a wide scale to devices enabled to receive signals and reduce energy usage in reaction to those signals. Ability to communicate at a scale of thousands to millions of devices, as opposed to today's hundreds, will be crucial for residential or commercial DR programs to be fully effective in the future.
Fujitsu researchers described a very interesting variation of the typical DR program. In this scenario, specialized plug loads that have their own battery resources (ie laptops) are controlled in an office building to "disconnect" from the grid and run on battery power. When aggregated over a sufficient number of devices, building loads decrease. It's a creative alternative to the usual reductions in lighting or HVAC loads for organizations that want to participate in DR programs that reduce energy use at peak times and save money for building occupants (reduced energy bills or increased DR payments) and ratepayers (avoidance of investment in new generation assets).
The Smart Energy trends discussed by Fujitsu during their Forum illustrate significant synergies. If we have intelligence in the grid and the associated communications networks to build situational awareness of devices, regardless of their status as generating, storing, transmitting, or consuming electricity, we can create completely different grid that co-locates generation (or storage) with consumption. Reducing reliance on geographically remote generation reliant on vulnerable transmission and distribution wires does deliver energy surety as well as grid reliability and resiliency.

Herbaria Soaps – aromatherapy while you bathe
Ladies and germs, and genuine germy germs, I introduce you to Herbaria Soaps. Herbaria soaps come in many fancy flavorful scents however I do not recommend you taste them as tempting as they might sound (i.e. Chocolate Mint Cobblestone) as they are for olfactory pleasure and obviously not for the taste buds. 🙂
Herbaria soaps are completely vegan (yay!) and are made with olive, hemp seed and avocado oils and complemented with shea butter – the perfect ingredients to leave your skin super duper smooth and soft. All of their soaps are scented with natural essential oils from sustainable plants and flowers.
Herbaria has over 35 different types of soaps and here are a few of my faves:
French Lavender – love the calming, relaxing scent
Spearmint Orange – yummy smelling and very refreshing, love the texture
Almond Spice – perfect for this time of year, smells warm and comforting
Indonesisan Safflower – powerful, beautiful, exotic scent
I also want to mention that Herbaria has a Jojoba Shampoo bar which is perfect for traveling. It can be used as soap, shampoo, shave cream… they even say you can use it for a little hand laundry. I think that's extremely cool and resourceful.
These soaps are truly luxurious and make perfect gifts. Have a blast picking and choosing your favorite scent.
For more info: Herbaria All Natural Soaps
Each 4.5 oz. bar of soap is $5.50
Buy 6 bars, get 1 free and free shipping on orders over $40!

"Utah is excited to welcome the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship and the opportunity it brings to showcase Utah to a nationally televised audience and to generate significant economic impact to our great state," said Gary R. Herbert, Governor of Utah.
"We are very pleased to announce the addition of the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship to Miller Motorsports Park's schedule of events," said Greg Miller, CEO of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, which owns and operates Miller Motorsports Park. "This announcement has been a long time in the making and we appreciate the cooperation of everyone involved in helping it become a reality. We look forward to hosting the riders, teams and fans in August, and to providing another world-class event for the State of Utah."
"We are very proud to bring the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship to Utah," said John Larson, General Manager of Miller Motorsports Park. "We believe the addition of a world-class motocross facility to our campus makes Miller Motorsports Park the most versatile motorsports facility in North America, if not the world. This will be one of the most exciting events ever staged at our facility, and we know that it is going to be a big hit with motocross enthusiasts and action-sports fans throughout Utah and the western United States."
"The Utah Sports Commission is thrilled to welcome the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship to 'The State of Sport,'" said Jeff Robbins, president and CEO of the Utah Sports Commission. "Our passionate Utah fans are already familiar with such household-name action-sports athletes as Ryan Dungey, Ryan Villopoto, James Stewart and Chad Reed through their annual Supercross visits to Salt Lake City. The Utah National at Miller Motorsports Park will give them another chance to see their heroes in action. We are anxiously looking forward to adding this great event to Utah's calendar of world-class sporting events in 2013."

Former first lady Barbara Bush has been hospitalized in Houston for tests after not feeling well for several weeks, NBC News reported Saturday night.
Sources told NBC that Mrs. Bush's doctor checked her into Methodist Hospital to run tests. The problem was not believed to be related to her heart or the aortic valve operation that she underwent in March 2009.
Doctors hoped to let her go home Sunday or Monday, NBC reported.
U.S. & World
Mrs. Bush, wife of George H.W. Bush, underwent surgery a year ago to have her aortic valve replaced by a valve from a pig. That surgery was performed because she was suffering from a severe narrowing of the main valve.
Barbara Bush underwent surgery in November 2008 for a perforated ulcer. When she lived at the White House, Mrs. Bush disclosed she was suffering from an overactive thyroid ailment known as Graves' disease. The disease causes teary eyes and double vision, according to her doctors.
This article is based on reporting by NBC News' Jamie Gangel.

Welcome to Anger Management Guide
Anger Management Treatment Article
For a permanent link to this article, or to bookmark it for further reading, click here.
Anger Management - Dealing Effectively With Your Angerfrom: Jim Holden- Staff Writer
Anger - A word which is commonly used for all people, and by all people, anger being this particular feeling that both you and that person sitting next to you can experience.
However, since anger is an emotional state of the mind, the expression of it varies from person to person! Some may feel simply irritated, while others may feel a reaction of intense rage and fury at the same incident, and the biological and physiological changes which follow, are different with every instance of the feeling of anger which occurs.
As a consequence, anger can lead to either constructive or more likely, destructive results, as sadly, most people will tend to lose their self control, which in turn would prevent them from seeing the former side.
This therefore calls for ways on how to manage anger effectively, without hurting other people around you, but also including not hurting yourself, so set out to manage your anger with these simple rules of thumb:-
Unfortunately life is not all pure pleasure, and many times in your life you will experience things that will make you angry, but you should try and never lose your self control!
Also life does not always go according to plan, so therefore, if you find that things do not go according to plan, resorting to anger is unlikely to be the solution, and moreover, anger will not solve the problem, but rather might lead to you doing something that could could keep you farther from your goals.
So do NOT waste your time grieving and blaming yourself or indeed others for your mishaps, but instead, move on and continue to strive in doing something more productive.
Creating a destructive outlet for your anger is not the solution, there are far healthier ways to express your emotions, and this most definitely includes anger, but however, this does not mean that you are free to do anything that you please in expressing your emotions.
The norms of society and the conscience governing men prohibit us from making destructive actions in most cases, but if you do let your anger dominate you, all normal constraints may well be ignored. so never ever let your emotions govern you! Take control of yourself and do something that is productive, non-violent, and acceptable to society at large.
Forgiving yourself will certainly lead to better things to come, but being angry with yourself however, will never do any good to you or to anyone else either. This is because when you hate yourself for the failures you have experienced, the effects are not limited only to yourself, but also in your relationships with other people, and that would become self evident in the way that you treat them.
So instead of hating yourself, forgive yourself and move on, but try and learn from the experience, and before you know it, you will be back on track again, but do also remember that other failures will still happen, even if you do forgive yourself the first time around.
What you should attempt to do, is to continuously make allowances within your life for these kinds of anger inducing incidents, and not hate yourself for every failure which happens to you.
Your body does have its limitations, and you also know that certain things can very easily make you angry,as well as which, you also know that certain things can make your anger disappear. So endeavour to Work in ways that avoid those situations that can easily make you angry. In the same manner, undertake those activities that can calm you down if you think you are on the point of creating a destructive anger.
Anger of itself is indifferent, which means that anger can either be good or bad, it all just depends on how people handle it. So making sure that you are in control of your emotions is the best thing that you can do if you are getting out of line, but anger would actually become an advantage to you, if you know how to handle it well, rather than getting carried away by it.

Here are the screening tests and immunizations that most men ages 50 to 64 need. A screening test is done to find possible disorders or diseases in people who don't have any symptoms. The goal is to find a disease early so lifestyle changes can be made and you can be watched more closely to reduce the risk of disease, or to detect it early enough to treat it most effectively. Screening tests are not considered diagnostic, but are used to determine if more testing is needed. Although you and your healthcare provider may decide that a different schedule is best for you, this plan can guide your discussion.
Who needs it
How often
Alcohol misuse
All adults
At routine exams
Blood pressure
Yearly checkup if your blood pressure is normal*
Normal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mm Hg*
If your blood pressure reading is higher than normal, follow the advice of your healthcare provider
Colorectal cancer
All men of average risk in this age group
According to the American Cancer Society:
Several tests are available and used at different times.
For tests that find polyps and cancer:
Flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years1, or
Colonoscopy every 10 years, or
CT colonography (virtual colonoscopy) every 5 years
For tests that primarily find cancer:
Yearly fecal occult blood test2, or
Yearly fecal immunochemical test every year2, or
Stool DNA test, every 3 years
You will need a follow-up colonoscopy if you choose any test other than a colonoscopy and you have an abnormal result. Screening recommendations vary among expert groups. Talk with your healthcare provider about which test is best for you. Some people should be screened using a different schedule because of their personal or family history. Talk with your provider about your health history.
All men in this age group
Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes
All men beginning at age 45 and men without symptoms at any age who are overweight or obese and have 1 or more additional risk factors for diabetes
At least every 3 years
Type 2 diabetes
All men with prediabetes
Every year
Hepatitis C
Men at increased risk for infection – talk with your healthcare provider
At routine exams (All men age 50 to 70 should be tested once for hepatitis C.)
High cholesterol and triglycerides
At least every 5 years
All men
Lung cancer
Adults age 55 to 80 who have smoked
Yearly screening in smokers with 30 pack-year history of smoking or who quit within 15 years
Anyone at increased risk
Prostate cancer
Starting at age 45, talk to health care provider about risks and benefits of digital rectal exam (DRE) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening***
Anyone at increased risk for infection
