Arriving at the best exposure for a photo is part science and part art. In Foundations of Photography: Exposure, Ben Long helps photographers expand their artistic options by giving them a deep understanding of shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and all other critical exposure practices. This course covers the basic exposure controls provided by all digital SLR cameras, as well as most advanced point-and-shoot models. Learn how to master a camera's metering modes, how to use exposure compensation and bracketing, and much more. By the end of the course, you'll know how to develop an "exposure strategy" that will allow you to effectively employ your exposure knowledge in any shooting situation.
Your digital camera is a marvel of 21st century engineering, but if you could somehow strip away all of the automatic features that are just there to make it easier to use-- autofocus, autometering, the LCD screen, the electronic shutter control, all the rest of that stuff--you'd still be left with a functional camera, because at the most fundamental level, camera technology has not changed since the 1850s. All cameras are built on the same fundamental chassis, a lightproof box with a hole in the side.
One of the earliest such devices was the camera obscura, a darkened room with a hole in one wall. Now, because of the physics of light, a scene outside the room is projected through the hole upside down on the wall opposite the hole. Of course, the camera is no good without a way of recording an image, and with a camera obscura, this was pretty easy. You just stuck a Dutch master in the room and he traced the projected image onto paper. With the invention of chemical photography, it became possible to shrink the camera obscura down to the size of a box, and that's what I have here.
This may look like just a cardboard box that's been wrapped with black electrical tape, but it's actually a camera. This is a pinhole camera, which I made by taking a cardboard box and wrapping it with black electrical tape. It's a completely lightproof box, and in the back I've placed a piece of film. This is one of the things that's kind of a drag about a pinhole camera is that you take a shot when you want to take another, you got to open it up and put another piece of film in the back. On the front, I have a shutter just like in my normal camera. It's a little flap that I can open and close, and I've got a piece of aluminum that I punched a pinhole into.
Now again, this is just something to do with optics. When I open the shutter, light gets passed through that little pinhole and projected upside down onto the back of the box. So to make an exposure, I set the camera up, and I have to try and guess where I think the framing is, and I have to calculate an exposure by hand, and once I have done that, holding the camera very still, I lift the shutter up, and I keep it open for a long, long time. The pinhole camera can be greatly improved on with the addition of lenses and all of the other automatic stuff that you get in a normal camera.
The lens gives you shorter exposure times, the ability to focus more light, the ability to shoot in lower light. This, of course, is how film cameras have worked for the last 150 years. With digital cameras, the piece of light-sensitive film that's inside the camera body was replaced with a light- sensitive image sensor, and a lot of fancy gear was stuck to the outside of the camera. But the basics of exposure in your digital camera remain exactly the same as they do in a basic pinhole camera. As you discovered earlier, exposure is the process of controlling how much light hits the image sensor, and your camera has two mechanisms for controlling light: the shutter and the aperture.
We're going to look at these in much more detail throughout the rest of this course.

Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers Pick and Preview
- Updated: September 21, 2008
Dallas Cowboys at Green Bay Packers
Sunday, 8:15 pm Eastern – NBC
SBG Global Opening Line: Cowboys – 3 , Total 51
The Sunday night game on NBC between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers is a rematch of last year's game at Dallas when both teams were 10-1. The Cowboys won that game 37-27 and ended up with home field advantage in the playoffs although it didn't do them any good as they lost to the New York Giants. This year's game could be just as important in the long run as both teams come into the game unbeaten. SBG Global reports that early NFL betting has the public taking Cowboys on the Road.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been excellent so far this season taking over for Brett Favre. He has completed 70 percent of his passes and has not thrown an interception. "He's making good decisions and he's being accurate with the football," Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. "He hasn't taken many chances, and that's all part of good quarterback play. He needs to continue to do that." Dallas is running on all cylinders as well. They outscored the Eagles last week as Dallas quarterback Tony Romo played well again. He has thrown for 632 yards and four touchdowns in two games.
The Cowboys have never won at Lambeau Field. Dallas has three wins in Milwaukee but at Lambeau they are 0-5 including 41-20 in 2004, the last time the two teams met in Green Bay. The Packers have won 10 of their last 11 home games and Dallas has won 11 of their last 12 road games. Here are more NFL betting stats for Sunday's game. The Cowboys are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games in September. The Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games when playing on Sunday following a Monday night game. The Cowboys are 1-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record. The Cowboys are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Cowboys are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 vs. the NFC. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings between the two teams.
The Cowboys are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The Packers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games in September. The Packers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. The Packers are 16-5-2 ATS in their last 23 vs. the NFC. The Packers are 19-7-2 ATS in their last 28 games overall. The home team is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings between the two teams.
SBG Global Current Line: Cowboys – 3 , Total 51
The Under is 5-1 in the Cowboys last 6 games overall. The Under is 4-1 in the Cowboys last 5 vs. the NFC. The Over is 6-2-1 in the Cowboys last 9 games in September. The Over is 13-5-2 in the Cowboys last 20 road games.
The Over is 6-0 in the Packers last 6 home games. The Over is 13-3 in the Packers last 16 vs. the NFC. The Over is 19-7 in the Packers last 26 games overall. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between the two teams.
Pick: Packers 4 out of 5 units

Southwest Utah: Dual Sport Riding from St. George
View Single Post
Beastly Adventurer
Joined: Aug 2011
Location: St. George, UT
Oddometer: 1,480
The Pinnacles, near Enterprise Reservoir
Back to motos, specifically the TW200 near Enterprise Reservoir. Great dirt road past an area called "The Pinnacles." Probably the most scenic road / loop in the area. Fine for any dual sport bike.
Here's the map:
The dirt route starts just west of Veyo (at the bottom of the Veyo Wall). Road to Enterprise Reservoir is called the Veyo Shoal Road (Benchmark) or Goldstrike Road (sign). Forest road #06 on map. Pinnacles Road is #004, and connector road to Enterprise Reservoir is #274. All easy to follow.
Easy to ride pavement from St. George to Veyo Wall, either up Highway 18 (fast) or via Gunlock (more scenic). I did it both ways on this ride, but didn't stop for any pics on pavement. Could also truck/trailer to base of Veyo Wall. Easy parking.
For any noobs or lurkers there is an index of rides on page 1. Post #56 (page 4) and Post #182 (page 13) are similar rides. Also, some of the recent ATV riding (just above) was in this area.
So here's the marquee area -- The Pinnacles. Definitely worth the trip. Great riding.
At the bottom of the Veyo Wall starting out on the dirt/gravel of the Goldstrike Rd or Veyo Shoal Road. This road has received lots of maintenance and a rework in the last few years. Great shape. It will probably hold up to winter quite well. Although it is likely some snow will block the higher passes. The other roads #004 by the Pinnacles and #274 connector to Enterprise Reservoir are in not nearly the same condition.
Quick stop at an abandoned gravel pit. Lots of old equipment.
Some big gears.
Found this behind a pile of rocks. Not sure if it's operational or not. Nice scale with the mighty TW!
I was carrying extra gas. Didn't need it, but wasn't exactly sure of my route. Intended to do a bit of exploring. Quite possible to fine a serious washout 3/4 of the way around a loop and have to reverse course. Just didn't want fuel to be an issue.
The photo focus was on fall colors. Still lots of red and yellow as you gain elevation. Fading fast, not quite as good as a week ago, but still on display.
The seat of my bike makes a good back drop.
Near the top of one of the passes. Road in background is rougher track to the Dagget Flat area. No maintenance here.
Bridge over Moody Wash (currently dry at his spot). A bit of construction here. Road surface on bridge is paved. Lots of nice color, above and below!
Shortly after the bridge, make a left onto a lesser dirt road, #004. Start to gain elevation toward the Pinnacles.
Near Maple Spring. Cattle country. Also lots of camping opportunities, although the camping gets better as you get higher. The road where my bike is was washed out a year ago, not passable. New culvert is installed, road rebuilt.
Fall colors on the hillside. This is about 5,000 ft.
Everyone likes red, but the yellow is nice too.
The source of the yellow leaves. Great afternoon sunlight!
The gains elevation and runs parallel to the Pinnacles. Constantly changing views, probably best in this direction.
The two most prominent outcroppings.
Lots of scrub oak, all different colors.
Great camping spots up high on the rocks. I'll have to be back here. Lots of open 360 views.
Exploring some double track (off route) I came across this #197. I won the stare down.
Some of the double track.
Lots of firewood in the area.
Love this terrain. Made for exploring!
More scenery.
Another section of Pinnacles. With the bike . . .
. . . and without the bike.
Fall colors, southern Utah style.
Using the seat of the TW as the backdrop.
Same spot, different angle. Looking for the light.
The reds. Stars of the show.
At the top of The Pinnacles Road there are signs for a non-motorized trail. I picked up my riding pace from here, but still lots of good scenery.
Chose to head back to Enterprise Reservoir. Near Lost Peak Spring, about 7,000 ft high now. Above most of the color.
More large rocks set off against a small bike.
Doing a little single track exploring along a wash.
There are little bits of water if you know where to look. Often the water runs underground as it descends.
Unusual plant for a mostly desert environment.
The connector road from the Pinnacles to Enterprise Reservoir, #274. The road I came down.
Close to Enterprise Reservoir you rejoin the road coming from Cougar Pass, Slaughter Creek, eventually Motoqua. Did this ride in Post #352, page 24. Also a great ride. Road in not as good a shape. I came down the road behind the tree.
Interesting cave on a side road near Enterprise Reservoir. Lots of ATV traffic and usage in this area on popular weekends. Not remote like the Pinnacles.
Shore of Upper Enterprise Reservoir. Very low water.
At the waterline.
Easy enough to exit out on pavement to Enterprise town, but better to complete the loop back to Veyo on dirt.
Small private in-holding within Dixie National Forest. Now it's late afternoon light.
One of my favorite signs. Original sign was damaged a few years ago. This is a new replacement. Several of my first moto rides solo and with Dad (and friends) came to this area. The sign was always a good marker.
Still good scenery, but now it was time to head for home.
As always, thanks for riding along. Appreciate all the positive comments and PMs.

Remembrance Day 2012: Somerset stops to salute the fallen
Posted: November 12, 2012|
The Queen led the nation in honouring the fallen as in glorious sunshine the country fell silent to remember its war dead.
In scenes replicated at memorials across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth nations, the monarch laid the first wreath at the Cenotaph to commemorate members of the Armed Forces who died fighting in all conflicts since the First World War.
Other senior royals, including Second World War veteran the Duke of Edinburgh and current RAF pilot the Duke of Cambridge – with wife Kate watching from a balcony – joined the monarch and politicians, military leaders, veterans and serving personnel.
Big Ben struck to mark the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
In brilliant autumn sunshine, dignitaries laid wreaths at the Cenotaph before 10,000 veterans marched past to pay their respects to their departed comrades.
The crowds watching the service in central London could be the largest yet, the Royal British Legion said.
The charity's head of remembrance, Helen Hill, said that numbers were swollen as recent conflicts brought the realities of war home to a new generation and created "people who are aged 18-and-a-half who are veterans of recent conflicts".
"Once again the British public has shown its support," she said, adding that the number of veterans marching had increased by 3,000 in the last five years.
"The numbers are going up, not down. There are an increasing number of associations looking after the veteran community. More and more people want to participate in the activities."
Nearly every community in the West – whatever its size – came together to reflect on the sacrifices of earlier generations.
Among the most poignant was at Wells – where salutes were paid at a memorial stone installed this year honouring Harry Patch, Somerset's 'Last Fighting Tommy'.
On a much smaller scale, residents in the Somerset village of Nether Stowey held their first remembrance service at a new memorial statue.
There was also a poignant ceremony in Royal Wootton Bassett, the Wiltshire town honoured by the Queen last year for the way its people regularly turned out to honour the UK's war dead.
One unfortunate incident soured events in central Bristol, when a cross-dressing protestor skate boarded past marchers. He was arrested for a public order offence.
His actions were condemned by Roger Duddridge, vice chairman of the Bristol and Somerset Royal British Legion. He said: "Frankly it is disrespectful."

text: Sorry..typographical error...yound buck should have been young buck! Murray is the future...he is hungry and ripe for success. He will win many grand slams like Lendl....perhaps eight or more...he will ruin Nadal's chance of overtaking old man Federer's grand slam numbers. Djoker will win but Murray has more talent and justs needs to get that first one.Odd that you should suggest Murray might win 8 slams or more. I had a premonition recently of Andy with 9 "gold medals" and wondered if it meant an Olympic medal and 8 slams. Then again, maybe it was nothing - I don't claim second sight - but I also felt very strongly before the Wimbledon Final that it would all end in tears.

Skunk cannabis worth £45k found after police raid in Saltash
Posted: September 19, 2012|
A woman has been arrested after police found around £45,000 worth of suspected skunk cannabis at a Saltash address.
Officers spoke to the 45-year-old woman from Saltash as she sat in a silver Peugeot car in Manor Street, Stonehouse, just a few minutes after midnight on Sunday, September 16.
The officers became suspicious after they found her to be in possession of three mobile phones and several hundred pounds in cash.
A search of a property in Saltash a short while later uncovered nine half-kilo vacuum-packed bags of suspected skunk cannabis.
The cannabis has been sent for further analysis but police say if it is confirmed as the class B drug it could have a street value of around £45,000.
The woman was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a controlled class B drug and taken to Charles Cross police station.
Following interview she was released on police bail until December 18 pending further inquiries.
Anyone with information about the incident should call police on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111 quoting crime reference number EC/12/8860.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Rebekah Buchanan's research examines the narrative writing lives of zinesters. She explores zines as a life-long literacy practice that creates permanent writing lives and communities. She is interested in how personal narratives published in alternative spaces create sites where participants challenge traditionally accepted public narratives.
She has published articles on popular culture in the classroom, youth's out of school literacy practices, and creating writing programs for dissertators. Her recent conference presentations include discussion of narrative inquiry as a research practice, riot grrrl rhetoric in zines, and research into dissertators' writing practices.
Before coming to Western, Buchanan spent a number of years teaching high school English, creating an alternative high school in a CBO, designing summer writing programs for middle and high school youth, and doing writing center administrative work.
At Western she teaches teacher education methods courses, and women and literature (cross-listed with Women's Studies).

stubborn girlfriend
A young guy was complaining to his Boss about the problems he was having with his stubborn girlfriend.
"She gets me so angry sometimes I could hit her, the young man exclaimed."
"Well, I'll tell you what I used to do with my wife" replied the Boss. "Whenever she got out of hand I'd take her pants down and spank her".
Shaking his head the young guy replied "I've tried that... it doesn't work for me. Once I get her pants down I'm not mad anymore."

One and all from across India and various walks of life, including the celebrities, exercised their vote to elect the 14th Prime Minister of India.
As expected, the young India has elected the veteran BJP candidate Narendra Modi as its next Prime Minister. As almost the entire nation is celebrating NaMo's victory, many celebrities also extended their support and took to their twitter handles to congratulate him on his historic win.
Take a look below at some of the heavyweights from B-town who is cheering for Modi:
Shah Rukh Khan: "What a solid mandate given by the ppl. It proves again that the only constant is change. Now to move forward with strong & active faith, India."
Actress Madhu Sneha: "India has yet again shown that we are ready to move ahead. Congrats Modiji, a bright future and immense growth awaits the entire nation. Jai Hind!"
The Kochadaiiyaan star Rajinikanth: "Hearty Congratulations dear @narendramodi Ji on your historic win. Best wishes."
Arjun Rampal: "India's new life with this historical election win. A bright future for this nation and a brighter future for our children."
Fashion Editor Sourendra Kumar Das: "A new era dawns! India wanted a change - Change is the only constant... Congrats @narendramodi, show the world that India is the best."
Madhur Bhandarkar: "The Wave has hit the shore! A young, sensible & vibrant India gives its verdict! Heartiest congratulations to @narendramodi & his team."
Veteran journalist Pritish Nandy: "Winner: @narendramodi. Losers: UPA, NDA allies, the old guard in the BJP, the Opposition, independent media. India gets what it wants."
Shekhar Kapoor: "End of era of feudal politics. Dynastic politics. A new India. A new opportunity. A new future. Let' it not go waste @narendramodi congrats."
Managing Editor of MensXP, Priyanko Sarkar: "Congratulations Mr Narendra Modi. India would like to remind you of Spider-man's great line that with great power comes great responsibility."
Lata Mangeshkar: "@narendramodi Namaskar. Naredrabhai, aap ko bohot bohot badhaai. Desh ki janata ne ab apna bhavishya aap ke haath me diya hai. Tathastu."
Ranvir Shorey: "Congratulations, @narendramodi, on a well deserved win. Looking forward to the "achche din".
Subhash Ghai: "Today I can be proud of my people of India for massive voting ever. Now we want to be proud of nation with #narendra modi and his team."

lots of faith people of India has put in you-don't disappoint them i am quite positive about u as ur action speaks louder than ur word in Gujarat.
NaMO all the way!!! India has decided to throw away the old dynasty and corrupt party of India aka Congress!!!
Congratz though i dont trust any indian politicians.. i wanna see what miracles he does for india.. as so many before him have so called promised. Clean up the roads, make some traffic regulations, genuinly help the poor, get rid of corruption, then do what he needs to do to further indian economic growth.

08 Jun - Onwards and Upwards
RRS James Clark Ross Diary
Noon Position: 30° 17.6 N, 30° 25.43.0 W)
Distance Travelled since Grimsby: 41,425.5 Nautical Miles
Air temperature @ Noon today: 23.3°C
Sea temperature @ Noon today : 22.9°C
Weather: Good, NE, 2, 1025.0
Onwards and Upwards
The James Clark Ross has been steaming north for another week making continued good progress towards old Blighty. The ship is still stopping twice a day to allow the AMT scientists to take the myriad of water samples that they need for all their experiments. The rest of the day and night is spent heading home at a sedate 11.5 knots. We had only one change of course again this week but saw a very unusual sight on Sunday. High above the ship we spotted a vapour trail from a commercial airline flight. It may not seem unusual for those at home but it is the first one I've seen for 9 months and a sign of the impending reintroduction to civilization awaiting the JCR very soon.
It's a tough life for the lads on the bridge so Paul Clarke has taken up juggling in his spare time to keep himself amused. We've always thought he was a bit of a clown but clearly he needs plenty of practice!
To make the most of the hot weather we are still enjoying and make up for the downpour when crossing the line, Hamish organized a BBQ on the aft deck. Saturday night saw everyone outside stuffing themselves with lots of delicious food cooked on the recently made BBQ. Richie Phipps had knocked one up from an old oil drum for crossing the line and it worked a treat as Hamish and Mike served up lots of steaks, kebabs and even Montevideo style fried cheese!
AMT 12 - 'It's all about the right kind of atmosphere'
One of the main aims of the Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) is to 'determine the role of atmosphere-ocean exchange... in the formation and fate of organic matter'. What does that mean in simple terms?
Gases pass continuously from the ocean to the atmosphere above, by simple diffusion. This is a two way process and gases such as carbon dioxide or oxygen can move from the air to water and vice versa depending on their relative concentrations. The physical properties of the gas and water also have an effect eg temperature. Matter can also fall into the ocean mainly in the form of dust that has been blown out to sea from the land and rain. Imagine the ocean and air constantly exchanging gases and particles between them trying to achieve a balance.
This balance is never achieved because of 'organic matter' ie living things. Humans need oxygen to live, and we exhale carbon dioxide when we breathe out. So do phytoplankton in the water. They use oxygen from the surrounding water and produce carbon dioxide. Hence the oxygen levels in the water go down and carbon dioxide rises. This change then leads to more oxygen moving into the water from the air and more carbon dioxide moving from the water to the air. This is done by simple diffusion as the air and water try to achieve a balance or equilibrium.
Life is not quite that simple however but the principles are the same. When the phytoplankton trap sunlight to make food (using photosynthesis like plants) they release oxygen and use up carbon dioxide. Therefore phytoplankton are sometimes net producers of oxygen or carbon dioxide or net users. Phytoplankton are present in such huge quantities in the oceans that these simple processes have an profound effect on the atmosphere above.
OK, the story so far......
1 Gases move between the atmosphere and the sea.
2 Phytoplankton have a major effect on some of these gases.
Why is this important and why study it?
Global warming is happening. The earth is getting hotter and this is down to the change in gases in our atmosphere. Since the industrial revolution, humans have been burning lots of fuels (coal, oil, wood etc) that increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and make the planet warmer. The level of carbon dioxide has risen by 25% increase since the industrial revolution. Other important gases that are involved in global warming are methane, nitrous oxide and dimethylsulphide.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is removed from the atmosphere by the oceans. There are two main ways that this happens.
Firstly, warm water moves from the caribbean to the Arctic in the Gulf Stream as this water cools then by simple physical laws it absorbs more CO2 and also sinks to the bottom of the sea around Greenland. This cold water, rich in CO2 then moves slowly south down through the Atlantic as North Atlantic Bottom Water and, after whirling round Antarctica cooling further and collecting more CO2, it eventually comes up in the Pacific Ocean, hundreds or thousands of years later. This deep cold water effectively acts as a 'sink' for CO2 and removes it from the air. This helps to keep the planet from warming up by removing some of the CO2 we pump in the air. This 'physical' process is the main sink for CO2 from the atmosphere.
Secondly, as phytoplankton live and grow they can either produce or use CO2 by respiration or photosynthesis. In some areas phytoplankton are net producers and in others they are net users. They are important in the regulation of CO2 but to what extent is debatable. Their role is still to be fully elucidated but is thought to be relevant as they respond quicker to changes around them than the physical process exchanging CO2.
To study the effects of phytoplankton on both CO2 and O2, water samples are incubated onboard for 24 hours and the change in levels of gas are then measured in the water. The concentrations at different depths are measured and compared with those in the air.
Another gas to be studied is N2O which is 280 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. It can be produced by bacteria in areas of up-welling water rich in nutrients. Areas such as those near the African coast are known as 'natural chimneys' as they release N2O into the atmosphere. Methane (CH4) is also being measured as this greenhouse gas can be produced by anaerobic metabolism of phytoplankton. The final gas to be measured on the cruise is dimethylsulphide. Produced by phytoplankton called coccolithophores amongst others, this sulphur-containing gas, enters the atmosphere and reacts to create particles, thus being a major source for cloud formation by acting as the nuclei that clouds condense around. The DMS levels are being measured both in sea and also in any rain that might fall (see crossing the line! - Ed).
As mentioned above, material can fall out of the air in the form of rain or particles into the ocean. This can form an important route for adding nutrients to the water and this cruise has been measuring the nitrogen, phosphorous and iron in the air. The Monkey Island has sprouted extra gizmos and now can sample the clean air flowing over the ship for both gases present and the particles in the air. A filter with brown staining caused by dust from the Sahara can be seen being opened below alongside PSO Tim, with his clean air samplers.
These filters process 1m³ of air per minute for 20 hours a day. Whilst sailing through the South Atlantic the filters often appeared grey due to soot in the air from low temperature burning of fuel in Africa and South America. These particles fall into the ocean and provide a large source of nitrogen, an important nutrient. However recently the filters have become a brown colour from the dust blow out from the Sahara desert. A large dust storm can be seen coming from the Sahara in the satellite photograph below. This dust is rich in iron and so the deserts provide the sea with a another critical nutrient. Interestingly the Southern Ocean around Antarctica has no deserts feeding iron into the water and therefore has very low levels, limiting the rate of phytoplankton growth, but that's a different story. Using reverse weather forecasting, the origin of the particles can be predicted. They will be analysed back in the UK to gauge the quantity of nutrients entering the water from the air as particles.
Iron is an important nutrient for the phytoplankton as it required for many of the enzymatic processes taking place within cells. The reason for this is that when the phytoplankton first developed, millions of years ago, the water was a reducing environment and lots of free iron was present. This iron became important in many cellular processes but as the algae were so successful in producing oxygen, the phytoplankton slowly changed the atmosphere above them. However this then turned the early seas into an oxidizing environment which results in very low levels of free iron in the water because iron is very insoluble in such conditions. In a way the phytoplankton cut themselves off from one of their essential nutrients. This process did have the added bonus of making the atmosphere of the earth 21% oxygen and this allowed oxygen breathing organisms, such as humans, to evolve! Anyway I digress. Getting back to the important measurements of iron in the water around us they are very difficult. The JCR is looking slightly rusty at the moment and so is shedding large amounts of iron into the air and water around it. Since the levels of iron in the water are 1 part per 100,000,000,000 parts of water, then a little rust goes a long way in contaminating water samples. Even the wire that lowers the CTD sampling device has rust on it and can contaminate the water! To make matters worse the measurement iron is very difficult at so low levels, several orders of magnitude less than the waters around the UK. The CTD used to collect the water samples can be seen below and is designed to not contaminate the water it collects.
AMT is using the JCR to sample both the air and water around the ship and provide important data on how gases and particles move between the two. This work has relevance for global warming and predicting future climate change.......
Phew, time for a break and watch the therapeutic blue sea....

Morning all. Running on the treadmill this morning about 6 miles. I have to work this morning, then I'm going to *maybe* go paddle boarding after lunch, depends on what time I get off, and how much time I have to eat lunch.
Oh and I need some advice.
I have my 20 miler scheduled for tomorrow, however there is a 50% chance of thunderstorms tomorrow. If I call the run, I will call it day of. Would it harm my running too much if I changed my 20 miler to Sunday (this is the next day I can run 20 miles).
Good morning,
Jodi--thanks for the start and you know I can't give you any advice. No plans for me and I don't have a particular day that I do LRs. Sounds like a full day.
Did a little less than 9 earlier as temps back in the 20s. Still not bad for early December around here.
Back to work......
Jodi - I'd wait and see. You can watch weather.com and see how a storm is progressing. You may be able to plan your run around the storms.
SRD and loving it. A little yoga, kick back with my Kindle, enjoying the day!
Brains aint me forte
Another rest day for me. Since I was working from home yesterday and the pain in my foot was getting worse I went ahead and had an x-ray done. I called them this morning for the results: negative. I'm happy about that but I also know that stress fractures often don't show up on a standard x-ray. I'm still having a lot of pain in the foot although it does feel a teeny bit better. I can't decide if I want to just rest it for a few more days before making my next move or if I should go ahead and make an appointment with my podiatrist now. She's usually pretty booked so it might be smart to call and make the appointment now and then cancel it if things get better.
Have a good day all!
"Address the process rather than the outcome. Then, the outcome becomes more likely." - Robert Fripp
Hey all! I get to run again today. I am so ready! It's only 3 miles but at least I will be running. It's group run day so it will be hard to stop when they all get to keep going. Boo. But I am running PR's and not getting injured so I'll obey the plan. I also get to volunteer at ds's school. It's nice not to be quite so paranoid about the germs this time. lol
SIAR - I thought of your comment, "spin those pedals, don't mash them" yesterday on the trainer. I hadn't heard that before. Decided what kind of trainer you're getting?
Markrice - Sorry your wife gets migraine's. I don't think they are fun for the spouses either.
Scott - Thanks for adding my race. Sounds like a good idea to go ahead and schedule with a busy doctor.
Hill - I take it the abruptly ended nap was not your nap but your time of peace and quiet.
Jodi - How'd your ds do on his bike? That's awesome. Okay, I'll agree with everyone else. Wait and see. We don't get too many thunderstorms around here.
Marco - Temps in the 20's sound better than 12.
Joe - Kicking back with a kindle sounds delicious.
Okay, gotta get showered and off to school. Have a great day everybody!

Go figure
Hey friends. I did 12.12 miles today. The run was supposed to be 8 miles, then 1.5 miles at MP uphill. It ended up being 10 miles, with 1.5 up hill, plus a little back to my car. The whole easy portion of the run, I kept thinking there was no way I'd be able to hold the MP uphill. Sure enough, once I hit the hill I wanted to start on, my legs worked and got me there (6:48, 6:48). I guess the change in pace activates different muscles and makes it doable, regardless of the fatigue you're feeling from running a previous steady pace.
Quick side note...if anyone wants a fun, quick Christmas story, either for a personal read or to share with the kids, try "The Shepard, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog" by Dave Barry. It's hilarious, and takes about 45 minutes to read if you're just reading on your own.
Jodi...I think you have a paddle board addiction I'm like that with my golf though, so I totally get where you're coming from. Personally, I don't see any difference with doing your 20 on another day. I just look at a week as a 7 day chunk where I have workouts to get in...the day doesn't matter so much, just that the workout happens within the chunk.
Marco...Do you get some time off for the holidays? It sounds like you could use it. That's nice that you're getting some more run-able weather.
Joe...I love that you do your marathons to enjoy the experience. It really is a reward at the end of training. I often forget that. What kind of reading are you doing?
Scott...That's great news from the Xray, but it's tough not knowing what's going on. I hope you find something more definitive.
Pressing....I think the point of the phrase is to get you to work the pedal in both directions, which I guess is pretty hard for neophytes like us. Also, thinking about that mantra is a lot better than thinking about how much my saddle is hurting my backside. Enjoy the run again! I'm kinda at the mercy of "Santa" when it comes to the trainer
D...I got to you on your RR. At least you got a trip out to Vegas lol.
PRs: Marathon (2:49xx; '13) Half (1:24:13; '15) 10k (37:25; '14) 5mi (29:23; '13) 5k (17:27; '14)
SIaR - I don't just do marathons for the experience. Each days run is an experience to me. I choose the route depending on the weather, time of day, and what I think I'll see along the way. My post run story always seems to start with "I saw...." Just as my wife of 24 years. I do marathons, and am working up into the ultra distances, because I get to go further and see more, simple as that.
As for what type of reading... Non-fiction, fantasy, best sellers, science, stories about running, health, nature. Anything from the Hobbit to Quantum Science. If it's well written, I'll probably find it interesting. You'd have to see the "collections" on my Kindle, or my old book shelves. A better selection than most libraries these days.
For the most part, you could say I read while resting up for my next run.
I got to run farther than 3 miles! 4.25 to be exact and we did leapfrog sprints. My coach decided since I was feeling good I'd be okay as long as I didn't all out sprint. Leapfrog sprints, if you're curious, are where we took turns choosing a landmark and sprinting to it. When the sprinter slowed down the other's would sprint to catch up and so and and so forth. It felt so good to run and nothing hurt at all so I seem to have recovered just fine.
Damaris - Sorry the race was a tough one.
SIAR - Good job on your run and keeping MP on the hill. Hills can suck but at the same time I like that they work my muscles differently. Hope Santa is good to you on the trainer.
Finally PRed!!!
Hi all!
jojo: I agree with others to see what weather does around the time you plan to run, though pushing it back should also be fine.
marco: nice almost 9 in the 20s
joe: glad you're enjoying your rest day.
Scott: glad the x-rays were negative. Making the appointment now and changing later if you feel fine sounds like a good idea. Hope it feels better soon.
Pressing: hope you had a nice 3.
Docket: wow, I am really sorry to hear about the asthma attack. Read the RR and it just sounded rough with all that wind and dust. Rest up, and I hope next time is better.
SIAR: great job with the 12.12 with the uphill MP portion. I will check out the story sometime--thanks for the tip.
I ran a little over 6 today. Legs still a bit sore, so I kept the pace very easy, really between my usual easy and recovery ranges. Wanted to spare the legs today so I can have a good MLR tomorrow.
Hope everyone has a great evening!
PRs: 5K: 22:09, 10K:44:55, 15K: 1:10:35, HM: 1:42:49, M: 3:32:09
Pressing: x-posted. Glad you had fun with the leapfrog sprints and felt good!
Geezer trying for speed
RUN DONE: 9 miles.. took a long lunch to do it, knowing I'd work late tonight processing payroll. Great run.
Jojo - Your change to Sunday BY ITSELF will not hurt anything. But the context of Sunday COULD present issues... just be sure not to do back to back long runs. Not as bad to have intervals near it. Certainly not bad to have recovery runs near it. I'd separate it a little from Tempo runs too. The day after may be best as a recovery.
Marco - Good job on the 9.
Joe, DocetRocket - Hope the SRD is going well.
ImNotScott - GLAD TO HEAR IT!
PressingOn - You're right... migraines are bad on both... but certainly worse on my wife who gets them.
DocetRocket - Sorry your race was bad. I'll have to read the RR... the bad races offer great learning.
SoImARunner - good job on the 12. That would be a cooking pace uphill. Thanks for the story.. I'll look that up. I've enjoyed Dave Barry before.
Joe - I'm in between going for sights and going for speed. I often whip out my phone to shoot a sight and keep it in a "running pics" area.
Good day all.
Anyone could see races, etc. on www.markrice.com/running.
I believe in HR training: www.markrice.com/running/heart_rate_training.html
thinkin about glory days
5 miles this morning and felt great. I wasn't planning on doing anything fast until next week, but it is awfully tempting. Also, new shoes coming in the mail tomorrow. Am I the only one who obsessively checks the package tracker when running gear is on the way?

Am I the only one who obsessively checks the package tracker when running gear is on the way?
No. You are far from alone in this. I've stood staring down the street for the mail delivery if they are a bit behind when new running gear is inbound. Yes, my name is Joe and I have a problem.

Some people just think that RC toys are just fun and games but PFC Jesse Covington says his unit is using their's to save soldiers lives in the field.
A couple of months ago we received a phone call from a military officer serving in Afghanistan, PFC Jesse Covington. He explained how he and his fellow soldiers, like many who must travel among the booby trapped roads connecting the military camps of the Middle East, use their personal RC cars to detect upcoming mines and other dangers by driving ahead of the convoy. When he called, his Traxxas Rustler VXL was beat up and worn out from weeks of hard use; after all, hobby-grade RC cars aren't really suited for withstanding IED blasts. Unsure of where his next camp would be, or when he'd have phone or Internet service, Covington called a couple of weeks later to give us an update on where to ship our care package. When the goodies arrived, Covington and his platoon sent us these photos in appreciation and will be flying the A Main Hobbies banner in their camp.

Location, Location, Location
Housing has changed a lot over the past decade. In a recent article on MSNBC, Bill Brigs compares the 1999 results of the housing report released by the Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development to the 2009 results. His findings were quite fascinating. According to the analysis, the percentage of the population with garages has increased from 59% to 66%. The number of homes with decks, patios, balconies, or porches has increased from 81% to 85%. The average square footage of a home has increased from 1,730 square feet to 1,800 square feet. The percentage of homes with four or more bedrooms has increased from 17% to 21%. The percentage of homes with two or more bathrooms has increased from 42% to 51%. Also, the price an average homeowner pays a month for their mortgage, real estate taxes, property insurance, and utilities has increased from $581 to $1,000.
In another article, David Streitfeld talks about a radical shift in the housing market that has taken place since the housing bubble burst. Ever since World War II, purchasing a home has been seen as one of the best investments a person could make. For decades, houses gained in value so much that millions of Americans were able to fund their retirements and much more just off the appreciation. However, all that has changed. An excess of houses in the market means that home values are dropping. More than that, the apprecaition of housing in the future is never expected to be what it once was. Stan Humphries of Zillow.com believes that the value of homes will keep up with inflation from now on, but that is all. No more 10-20% annual increased in home values. No more funding retirements off appreciation.
So what can you do to protect your investment? Some believe they have the answer, and that answer is walkability. An article by Damon Darlin published in The New York Times earlier this year compares the value of homes with high walkability (city centers and traditional towns) to the value of homes with low walkability (low-density suburbs). Walkability is the measure of how close certain amenties are to a home, or how "walkable" a neighborhood is. Although the relation between walkability and the retention of home values is still up for debate, there are a growing number of studies which show that increased walkability help homes keep their values high even during housing slumps. A study by C.E.O.'s for Cities found that in the cities of Charlotte, Chicago, Sacramento, and San Francisco, houses with a high walk score were worth $30,000 more than houses with a low walk score. This was the case for 13 of the 15 cities studied. Stan Humphries of Zillow.com also analyzed his data and found a difference between homes with low walk scores and homes with high walk scores. In Humphries' Seattle suburb that has a walk sore of 29 (out of 100), average home prices have fallen 21% since 2007. However, in Seattle's Great Lake neighborhood that has a walk score of 89, the average home values only dropped 14% in the past three years.
As the case has always been with real estate, it's all about location, location, location. So next time you are looking into purchasing a new home, you'd be wise to consider the walkability of your neighborhood among the other factors.

Make your own découpage picture frame
Use a map to transform an old picture frame into a chic home accessory
Cut copyright-free map images (or leftover wallpaper, giftwrap or old sheet music) into 2cm x 2cm and 3cm x 2cm pieces. Lay these out roughly over a plain picture frame to work out how many pieces you will need.
With a paintbrush, apply a fine layer of PVA glue all over the back of the paper and stick the first piece of decoupage to one corner of the frame.
Continue to glue the other pieces of map to the frame, overlapping as you go, until the frame is covered.
Leave to dry completely, then finish off by applying a thin layer of water-based varnish.

ELIZABETHTON — Agents of the 1st Judicial District Drug Task Force uncovered a marijuana growing operation in the basement of a house in Hampton on Wednesday.
The agents executed a search warrant on house at 601 Highway 321. The house is owned by Larry Alan Shockley.
In the basement of the house, the agents reported finding 39 live and growing marijuana plants in various stages of growth. The agents also found various items of indoor growing equipment. The agents said the operation was in working order when they found it.
The agents dismantled the operation and seized the equipment and the 39 marijuana plants. Shockley was not at the residence at the time of the raid.
Shockley was located by vice officers of the Morristown Police Department a short time later at a residence he had at 850 Central Church Road, Morristown. Shockley was arrested on the Carter County warrant and transported to the Hamblen County Jail.
Carter County Deputy Ross Frizzell took custody of Shockley and transported him back to the Carter County Detention Center. He was charged with manufacturing Schedule VI drug, maintaining a dwelling where narcotics are kept or sold, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Shockley is scheduled to answer the charges in Sessions Court on Feb. 1.

Rare and Wonderful Olympia StaterELIS. Olympia. Ca. 336 BC. AR stater (26mm, 12.11 gm, 10h). Hera Mint, 111th Olympiad. Head of Hera right, wearing pendant earring and stephane inscribed FΑΛΕΙΩΝ ( 'of the people of Elis'), F behind neck / Eagle, with open wings, standing left on rock with head reverted; all within olive wreath. Seltman -. cf. 339-340 for obverse and 341-345 for reverse. BCD Olympia-160 (same obverse die, and BCD coin attributed to 113th Olympiad). Extremely rare, with a beautiful head of Hera in the finest Olympic style. Choice Very Fine.
Ex Heritage - Gemini CICF (14 April 2011), lot 62. Ex NGSA 4 (11 December 2006), lot 82.
Olympia, located in the precinct of Elis in the western Peloponnesus, was less of a city than a religious sanctuary dedicated to Zeus where the all-important Olympic Games were held. The games commenced in 776 BC and continued uninterrupted at four-year intervals until AD 394, when they were abolished by the Emperor Theodosius as being too 'pagan' in spirit. Starting about 470 BC, Olympic coins were struck during the games to provide attendees with currency for the local markets, and to provide income for the shrine (a small fee was charged for changing other civic coinages into Olympic coin). Each coin type thus became a keepsake of the games in which they were issued, much as modern commemorative currency is tied to specific events. After 420 BC, two mints were active -- a "Zeus" mint striking coins with images of Zeus and his avatar, the eagle, and a "Hera" mint striking coins with imagery of, and associated with, his wife. This is one of the later issues of Elis not known to Seltman, attributed to the 111th Olympiad in 336 BC, the year of Alexander the Great's accession. The portrait of Hera is very delicate and beautiful and her stephane is inscribed "of the people of Elis."

Alvaro Pichardo was a player the Starkville Yellowjackets could count on last year to potentially score several goals per soccer match.
Even though there have been some outings this season where a certain individual could collect two or more goals, the balance on the field is considered a strong point for Starkville.
That was on display Tuesday night for the Jackets as they earned a 4-0 victory over the Center Hill Mustangs at home in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs.
"We knew we had Alvaro, but we had several guys who could score last year," SHS boys coach Brian Bennett said. "It makes us more dangerous when we can come from almost anywhere. I was very proud of the guys."
The Jackets improved their record to 11-3 this season and, as do the girls, have a second-round matchup against Oxford on the road Saturday.
For seniors like Kase Kingery, the aspect of teamwork has been a welcomed sight this season.
"It was great," Kingery said. "We played together as a team. Of any of the years I've been here, this is the best team effort. Since more than one person got to score, it tells us that we're doing things right and getting a lot of people into the attack. I had a lot of fun with it."
Juan Salazar got the first goal for the Jackets in the first half from about 35 yards out, then Kingery recorded a goal to put SHS up 2-0 at halftime.
Bennett said the key to success was possessing the soccer ball throughout the first half.
"We didn't do this a couple of weeks ago and it comes from finally getting some games of being together," Bennett said. "When you can possess like that, you are wearing the other team down. It's real hard to chase the ball and we've been in that position before."
Starkville got two more goals in the second half when Taylor Wise put one in at the 21st minute and Price Day scored with 2 minutes left in the match.
There weren't many times Center Hill was in a position to score which made the situation better for goal keeper Addison Watson of the Jackets.
"Everyone was doing their job so it was easy for me," Watson said. "It made our game so much better and I'm so proud. Everyone deserves to take their hat off for this game."View more articles in:
