When it comes to farming, Jason Smith admits heтАЩs often single-minded and, once he makes a decision, isnтАЩt easily dissuaded. But, as the large crowd attending the recent Tri-State Soybean Forum found, the flipside of the young farmerтАЩs stubborn nature is an easy willingness to admit mistakes.
ThatтАЩs especially true if it means helping another producer avoid pitfalls heтАЩs encountered.
тАЬWe all have slip-ups,тАЭ said Smith, who farms with his father and sister outside Dumas, Ark. тАЬWe all know what standing water in soybeans will do, but we still get so caught up with the crop that drainage is an area we neglect.
тАЬIn my opinion, you can take almost any soybean on any row spacing, add moisture and very, very good drainage and make a crop every single time.
тАЬEvery year, certain fields of mine are short, stunted and the beans donтАЩt come back. ThatтАЩs from irrigation water thatтАЩs left on a little too long.тАЭ
Smith tries to do тАЬa lotтАЭ of no-till. That can lead to trouble with residue in middles and blocking of pipes.
тАЬ(Debris) can get caught up in grass and cattails in the ditch and wonтАЩt let water out. It should be so easy to control (drainage), but we struggle with it. I find myself rationalizing it away: itтАЩs only a few acres at the bottom of the field. But if IтАЩm stretched that thin, maybe I should have stopped earlier and had the ditches and drainage checked.тАЭ
Add up a couple of stunted acres in every Smith field and тАЬthatтАЩs a couple hundred acres that end up cutting 15 bushels. ThatтАЩs 200 acres that couldтАЩve brought another 30 bushels per acre.тАЭ
Some of the ways the Smiths have tried to control the aforementioned problems have worked well. Each of the farmhands is now assigned a certain number of fields to monitor.
тАЬThey look at those same fields every day, water them, know everything about them. When it rains, the hands donтАЩt come to the shop any more. Standing order: when it rains, check your (assigned) fields first.тАЭ
It can be difficult to make sure the planter is set properly, said Smith.
тАЬOne problem I have is doubling seed when itтАЩs dropped. We use both Monosem and Great Plains double-row planters and they are good planters тАж but can drop one or two doubles every row foot.тАЭ
Smith insists the best course is to тАЬknow the size bean youтАЩre planting. With the Great Plains, IтАЩve had to really watch the plate size and use plenty of powder. And when switching varieties, I always check how the new bean fits the plate on the planter. Even though itтАЩs supposed to be 2,700 beans per pound, they may not fit the plate. ThatтАЩs true even with beans of the same variety from different lots.тАЭ
On the Monosem тАФ тАЬor even Deere vacuum plantersтАЭ тАФ the rate of vacuum and position of the bumpers on the plate тАЬcan affect (doubles). This is an easy, free way (to help your operation). Just by cutting doubles I feel we save as much as 10 percent of our seed.
тАЬFrom what IтАЩve heard Roundup Ready soybeans will be selling for next year, this is something that can save us a bunch of money. When my planter is dropping a double every foot, IтАЩm losing money on seed, IтАЩm losing yield from added competition and inviting disease to become an issue.тАЭ
Timing is another thing Smith admits to struggling with. тАЬIтАЩve heard on more than one occasion: keep your beans clean early and some (weeds) can come in later that wonтАЩt affect yields badly. IтАЩm a big believer in keeping soybeans clean for at least the first two months.тАЭ
Since Roundup Ready technology has taken over, тАЬa lot of times we get away from the mindset of тАШspray early and get it taken care of.тАЩ Instead thereтАЩs an attitude of тАШIтАЩll wait a (while) until the crop gets closer to canopying and IтАЩll spray once and be done with it.тАЩтАЭ
ThereтАЩs much talk about the cost of glyphosate costing more this year. тАЬBut if I have to pay another $1.50 per acre, itтАЩs still not that much compared to conventional herbicide costs versus the ease of application of Roundup.тАЭ
Whether from rain, wind or something else, there are a few fields every year that donтАЩt get sprayed with glyphosate until theyтАЩre тАЬpretty hairy. One way IтАЩve tried to fix that is with certified crop consultants. Southern Agronomic Resources (based in DeWitt, Ark.) has helped me close the gap when it comes to making applications at just the right time. They check my fields once a week and when they finish I get a nice printout that verifies what I need to do in the next week.тАЭ
Since hiring the consultants, said Smith, тАЬthe difference has been night and day. I donтАЩt see as many fields with problems as I used to. The fields are clean early, irrigation is done at the right stage, fungicides are applied properly, and stinkbugs havenтАЩt gotten over threshold. Being on time has narrowed the yield gap on our farm tremendously.тАЭ
Too early
The biggest mistake Smith тАЬever madeтАЭ is getting in too big a hurry to plant.
тАЬIn 2006, I farmed 5,300 acres with 3,600 acres of soybeans тАФ the most IтАЩd planted. I was worried that I wouldnтАЩt get all (those acres) planted. That spring, I decided to plant all Group 4s and get them made early.тАЭ
Doing so, he figured, would save diesel on pumping, would get the crop harvested on dry ground and allow time to work the fields up and provide a head start for the next year.
A warm March stirred Smith to plant. тАЬI got fired up and started planting soybeans on March 20. It was about 75 degrees. My guys rolled across the farm тАФ my father said it looked like a tornado.тАЭ
Smith pulled 3,600 acres of soybeans in seven days. What happened after that тАЬalmost cost me the farm. It began getting cold about mid-April and started raining. It rained and rained and when it stopped IтАЩd gotten over 15 inches of rain at my shop in three weeks. And it had been 50 or 60 degrees the whole time.тАЭ
The beans stopped growing. They were stunted by water and cold weather.
тАЬWe plowed and did everything we could think of to make them grow but they didnтАЩt come out of it.
тАЬMy next mistake was when we began harvesting wheat. It had gotten very dry and we needed to be watering (the beans) but were custom-cutting wheat. The beans suffered because I was a couple of weeks late (with an irrigation).тАЭ
And it was dry all summer.
тАЬI ended up watering the beans five or six times тАФ they never caught a rain.
Smith began cutting beans on Aug. 15. тАЬI wanted to be through harvesting everything by mid-September. We got through cutting the whole 5,300 acres in a little over 30 days. When I was through with the soybeans, yield was a shade less than 30 bushels per acre тАФ pretty bad.
тАЬI had lots of people say, тАШWell, it wasnтАЩt a Group 4 year.тАЩ But, in the end, all the signs pointed back to things IтАЩd done. No matter the weather, I never shouldтАЩve planted all those Group 4 beans that early in seven days. I chalked it up to being young and hard-headed.тАЭ
Having learnt a valuable lesson, in 2007, Smith slowed down. тАЬI planted a few beans, Group 4s, around mid-April. I planted more 4s and 5s around the first of May through mid-May. And we planted wheat-beans in June. I spread the risk out over the farm.
This time, we had a really good soybean year.тАЭ

State panel votes to censure UT Regent Wallace Hall
UPDATED 2:30 p.m.: A state panel voted 6-1 to censure UT System Regent Wallace Hall. The public and official letter of disapproval is a step short of voting on articles of impeachment.
Rep. Dan Flynn, R-Van, called the vote "historic," adding that it's the first time in state history that a regent has been censured.
Impeachment is not off the table, members said. In an interview after the meeting, co-chairs Rep. Carol Alvarado and Rep. Flynn said the committee could reconsider impeachment if Hall is found guilty in a criminal investigation or if new evidence of wrongdoing comes to light.
Rep. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, voted alone against the measure.
Original Post: Key lawmakers could recommend articles of impeachment against UT System Regent Wallace Hall today.
The House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations will consider several options for moving forward in its yearlong investigation of the embattled regent, including voting on articles of impeachment, establishing a lesser reprimand, waiting for a recommendation from a criminal investigation, changing state laws regarding regents, or postponing any action.
Hall, a Dallas businessman, has been accused of abusing his power as a UT System regent. Hall requested hundreds of thousands of records from the university, which many called a witch-hunt against UT-Austin President Bill Powers. Powers has clashed with some members of the board of regents over tuition hikes and the role of research at the university, among other things.
The committee began investigating Hall last summer. In April, the House released a report prepared by its attorney, Rusty Hardin, that determined Hall may have violated state and federal law when he divulged confidential student information contained within his records requests, among other things.
Hall, who was appointed to the board by Gov. Rick Perry in 2011, has denied any wrongdoing. His defenders say he acted within bounds to expose alleged problems at the flagship campus, including favoritism in the admissions process.
In May, the state panel voted 7-1 that grounds existed to impeach the regent. If the committee votes today on specific articles, the case will go to the full Texas House where a majority of members would need to approve the case merits. If approved, the impeachment case would then go to the Senate, where members would convene as a court to give the final say on impeachment.

I have been wondering this for a while, but I still am not sure yet about the answer. I have always read that the histogram extend from one side of the graph to the other in order to get the full amount of details and to capture the most light. But I have noticed that much of the time, my picture either looks washed out (overexposed) if the graph extendeds all the way to the right, or may look most realistic (look the same way as I see it in front of me) if it is only going from the left edge to the middle or just to the right of the middle. So my question is, is a histogram always supposed to extend to the edges, and if not is there some kind of rule that can be followed to know when to not take it to the edge? Maybe something like if it is a low light situation, the graph will be bunched from the middle to the left, in bright situations there may be no shadows, or just go with what looks best on the LCD?
Any opinion helps.

A histogram won't necessarily extend from one side to the other. If there is a wide range of brightness in the scene, e.g. dark shadows to bright light, it will, or it may even be clipped on one end or the other, or both. A scene with low contrast may only have a spike in the middle. Changing the exposure for the scene will push the graph to the right (with more exposure) or left (with less exposure).
The practice of "exposing to the right" is often used when shooting RAW as this gives the file the most data. The image may look too bright, but the exposure can be corrected in post processing to the level you want. This technique applies mostly to RAW, not so much if you shoot JPEGs.
#2. "RE: Histograms" | In response to Reply # 0DeanAZ Nikonian since 28th Apr 2007Mon 04-Jul-11 06:30 PM
The histogram represents the range and relative intensity of the different tones present in the image. If you take a picture of a monochromatic scene with flat lighting you will get a histogram that is a single spike in the center (in the center because the camera's meter will try to make it average to neutral gray.) If there are no shadows there will be no information in the left side of the display. If there is nothing white present in the scene there will be no information on the right side.
It is usually desirable to have a full histogram because it typically means you have a well exposed image with a wide range of tonality present. There are tricky situations where the camera meter will not make the best choice. It's your job to add some exposure compensation. Looking at the histogram will guide your choices.

"It is usually desirable to have a full histogram because it typically means you have a well exposed image with a wide range of tonality present."
That is not entirely true. A low contrast scene will never have a full histogram no matter how you expose it. The spike can be at the left end, in the middle, or at the right end depending on how you expose it, but it will never extend from left to right, and it still can be correctly exposed. You perhaps can boost the contrast up in the camera or in post processing set the black and white points to extend the histogram, but it won't look like the scene you started with.
#5. "RE: Histograms" | In response to Reply # 4DeanAZ Nikonian since 28th Apr 2007Wed 06-Jul-11 12:53 PM
But Alan, that is why I qualified my response with "usually" and "wide range of tonality" which your exception example of a low contrast scene does not represent.

#3. "RE: Histograms" | In response to Reply # 0
Another way to think about histograms is: Pixel Count.
The left side of the histo is 'dark', the right is 'light'. The camera goes through the image, and counts how many dark, medium and light pixels there are. It then creates a graph showing you how many dark, medium and light pixels are in the photo.
In a perfect world, there would be no pixels at or near either end of the graph. All the pixels would fall between the two ends. But that is something that is difficult to achieve in the natural world (studio-type setups are exempt from this).
For an 'average' scene, you want the bulk of your pixels to fall as close to the middle of the histo as possible. "High key" and "Low key" shots are an exception.

"Great Story!"
The Story kept me on the edge of my earphones! Could not wait to listen
The whole story. Not just one point.
"Twilight appeared at the end."
I like the book, but at the end they made sure the main character had interactions in a high school environment as to have the drama of twilight or harry potter.
"Interesting new world, characters - classic Card"
I enjoyed the development of an alternative world so nearly like our own, but with a secret set of rules most of us never see.
"Great new story by a master storyteller!"
Card has created a whole new world here, and it's fascinating. If you liked Ender's Game and don't mind a bit of fantasy mixed in with your sci-fi, check this out.
Some might consider this a teen type book but for me it is both good for adults and older teens. The story line was different in the magic realm and also brings in the old GODS such as Odin and the descendants of others stuck on earth by Locke.
I'm an avid science fiction and fantasy reader. I study Chemical Engineering at the UofU and do photography on the side.
"Great Story!"
This is a great book. There's a few slow spots while the author is telling something of a parallel story, but getting past those, I love this book.
When the main character finally leaves his friend, the story takes a big turn.
Stefan Rudnicki may be my favorite narrator, he has the right tone and knows how to make subtle changes to his tone to communicate. Emily Card has a clear and precise manner of narrating, but lacks the depth the Stefan has.
When Danny find a new family.
"Strong story, weak characters, worth a credit"
Top 20-30
The story is fine, although it feels a bit too scripted.
yes... the narration was excellent.
There wasn't one of those moments...
If you like Card, you will like this book.. But it is an extension of his previous work, rather than something truly new.
I want to find books that flirt with and then seduce me. I want reads with lasting power, leaving me breathless and aching for more!
"Delightfully whimsical"
This audio listen was initially challenging to follow due to some character jargon/slang I didn't understand. Once I understood what was happening, it became a delightfully whimsical story filled with adventures and magic. Since I waited over two months to add my review, I truthfully don't remember much.
I read, I listen, I backpack, I game. When I'm not at work, of course! (At least not the backpacking...)
"Lost Gate, Long Wait"
I picked up both this and Card's first book in the Pathfinder series and was immensely pleased by both of them. I'm very picky about my reading and even more so about my listening. The narration here is well done and the story.....well, Card isn't one for cut and paste jobbies. I'm a bit of a mythology fan and the inclusion and explanation for mythology as presented in this fiction was a delight. I am now eagerly awaiting the next book in series and MAY just have to pick it up for a read if it doesn't hit the airwaves fast enough!
"This is a great Story!"
Rich world, awesome characters all brought together in a great story. Truly enjoyed this book and will read more from this author.

Chavez Jr: Canelo Would Knock Miguel Cotto Out
By Miguel Rivera
Former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. feels WBA/WBC 154-pound champ Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-0-1, 30KOs) is ready to face the best fighters in the world - including Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Miguel Cotto. In the opinion of Chavez, he would rather see Canelo face Cotto (37-3, 30KOs) on a target date of September 14th, and he picks his fellow Mexican to win by knockout.
"Mayweather is difficult, but Canelo is bigger, has a good defense and younger. But for me, I would rather him fight with Cotto because it would be a more exciting fight. Some believe Cotto was not at his best against [Austin] Trout, but I believe Canelo has the potential to knock him out and it would be a very good fight," Chavez told Golpe a Golpe.

Cellulite Miracle Cure
–, Thursday, May, 24, 2007, (1:32pm)
I have tried the creams. I have scrubbed my thighs tirelessly in the shower. I have drunk three liters of water daily. I have punished myself on the cross-country ski machine at the gym, and still that stubborn cellulite won't budge.
Every woman, well most of us, have it. Even those perfect Hollywood starlets like Mischa Barton can't escape.
It can occur for many reasons, I knew that fatty food and no exercise were culprits, but I found out the other day it's hereditary. Orange peel thighs run in my family! I never had a chance.
Cellulite is indiscriminate about were it lodges itself.
Mine likes to congregate on the thigh area, but women are suffering this scourge all over their bodies.
On tummies, backs, upper arms and even chins! It is an uphill battle, and the most annoying part? Most blokes don't get it. The male body just isn't prone to it. Shifting that beer gut is a lot easier than smoothing the dimples out boys, let me tell you.
Now apparently there is a new treatment for that cottage cheese effect. It's called Accent or Fat Blaster and it works by heating up and breaking down the fat under the skin.
But it costs $300 per region. And I still have doubts about how effective it really is.
Has anyone tried this miracle cure? Does it work? I for one would like to know.
I'm sick of the stair-master, amazed at the ridiculous amount of watermelon I ate once because I heard it broke down the stuff and suffering thigh-envy of those lucky few not plagued by the fat.
Anyone managed to budge the stuff?
I wait with baited breath.

princess I have hard that eating porridge is a cure for almost anything. It seems that if you take this murky, dimply stuff it gives you lowered colesterol, better blood presure and a clearer mind and now less dimply thighs - even if said dimples are inherited from your unsuspecting mama
Thu 24 May 07 (10:47pm)
The girl in this picture looks as thin as a pin. So what if she shows a few dimples when she sits down. I would just wear my dress longer and be extremely happy. It is the rolls around my middle that are more of a concern to me and much harder to hide. Dimples on the face are very attractive, maybe we can give the dimples elsewhere a better press eh!

biomesosculpture is a treatment that virtually guarantees removal of cellulite after completing a course of treatments, i had 12 , 2 sessions each week and my cellulite has reduced by at least 90 %, it does work…
Wed 19 Sep 07 (06:57pm)
Sun 23 Sep 07 (11:47pm)
can you tell me we you had these treatments - :biomesosculpture.
Can anyone tell me if they have had accent fat blaster and if it really worked?
I want to know if it is worth my while getting this instead of liposculpture?

The Anubis Gates

Kim 's review
bookshelves: 2011booksread, steampunk
Mar 08, 2011
bookshelves: 2011booksread, steampunk
Read in March, 2011
This is a reread. I read this years ago and since I've been reading lots of steampunk books recently, I wanted to revisit this one. I had forgotten how genuinely scary and horrifying this book is. Not the best thing to be reading at night right before turning out the light. The book has some huge strengths, but it also has its flaws. The plot is so complex and convoluted that, to be honest, the author does a great job making it as readable and comprehensible as it is. But the book is full of unexplained events that don't make any real sense. Not just some massive time-travel paradoxes, but then all the mysterious magic elements that are never explained or justified. Including a rather massive and literal Deus Ex Machina at the end. But the things that bothered me the most are when he doesn't explain little things like "How can he understand Arabic all of a sudden? When did that happen?" The pacing of the book is furious and I think the author doesn't want to stop the runaway train to explain things, but those things stick with me and keep distracting me from the text. Overall, it's definitely a recommended book to read, obviously I gave it 4 stars. And it has been very influential over the past almost thirty years. But I find myself frowning about it on having finished it. I've tried to read a couple of the author's other books and found them quite disappointing. On a second reading of this one, I can see some of the same flaws here.

message 1: by Pat (new)
I really liked Powers' "Last Call" (about arthurian legend-ish stuff, tarot, and poker), "Drawing of the Dark" (semi-historical but mostly about beer that may or may not be brewed with Finn MacCool's bones) and "Three Days to Never" (about... well, a lotta stuff, including as I recall Einstein and Israeli psychic warriors) but was utterly uninterested/unmoved by "Expiration Date" which I've tried to read like six times since I bought it years ago and just... can't. Most of his stuff is good, but there are a couple that just fail to work.
message 2: by Kim (new) - rated it 4 stars
I finished Expiration Date and yeah, wasn't impressed. I own some of his other books, but I'm not sure which ones. I think I tried Three Days to Never but didn't get into it.
message 3: by Pat (new)
Remind me next time I see ya, I'll bring back your copy of Prague (A. Phillips) and I'll bring you my copy of "Drawing of the Dark" (powers) because that one's fun.

FAO Liberia Newsletter - 5 April 2011
More than 125.000 refugees have entered into Liberia since the beginning of the crisis in Côte d'Ivoire in November 2010. The far majority stays with host families across the Ivorian border. Humanitarian partners have been working to support the food needs of Ivorian refugees but they continue to depend heavily on the support of their host communities. This situation has put immense pressure on the food security situation of refugees and host families alike. Food stocks have been depleted and some communities started consuming rice seeds.
FAO is supporting the food production needs of refugees and host communities alike. The organisation has distributed vegetable and short cycle crop seeds kits to refugees in the Bahn camp, while a larger scale distribution of rice seeds to host communities will take place next month before the local planting season.

13 Classic Ice Cream Truck Treats You Can Make At Home
Don't just wait around listening for that jingle. Take matters into your own hands.
1. Homemade Choco Tacos
This recipe is probably the most doable for a home cook (you just cook the "taco" batter in a skillet) but if you want to come even closer to authentic Choco perfection (and happen to own a pizzelle iron), try this waffley variation.
2. Homemade Chipwiches
There's something about that exterior wall of mini chips that just evokes deep, meaningful emotions in me. Get the recipe.
3. Homemade Chocolate-Dip Ice Cream Bars
Once you master a basic magic shell/chocolate dip sauce, the world is your ice-cream-on-a-stick oyster. You don't even need fancy molds; a Dixie cup works perfectly. Get the recipe.
4. Homemade Firecracker Popsicles
These are made with strawberries and blueberries, but feel free to swap in any appropriately red and purple fruit you like. Because this is AMERICA, goddammit. Get the recipe.
5. Homemade Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars
You can definitely use storebought vanilla and strawberry ice cream instead of making your own. The important part is the crumblies, anyway. Get the recipe.
6. Homemade King Cones
This recipe actually turns out something a little closer to a Drumstick, aesthetically, but who's complaining about extra chocolate and nuts? Get the recipe.
7. Homemade Fudgesicles
These are super simple to make: Just melt chocolate chips with a few other ingredients and freeze in any shape molds you like. Get the recipe.
8. Homemade Klondike Bars
I can hardly even *bear* to look at that crackly chocolate beauty. Get the recipe.
9. Homemade Ice Cream Sandwiches
A big, thin sheet cake cut into rectangles yields the kind of squishy, stick-to-your-fingers chocolate exterior that distinguishes a truly classic I.C.S. Get the recipe.
10. Homemade Fruit Bomb Pops
These have a serious edge on the kind you can buy in that they involve real fruit, rather than fruit-inspired chemicals. Get the recipe.
11. Homemade Caramel Magnum Bars (Vegan)
You can feel free to de-veganize these by using regular vanilla ice cream and caramel, if you prefer. Get the recipe.
12. Homemade Creamsicles
These don't quite replicate the magical orange shell + creamy interior (if you can figure out how to make that work, you will be a hero to mankind). But that doesn't mean they're not delicious. Get the recipe.
13. Homemade Cookie Butter Drumsticks
These are full of cookie butter ice cream. I repeat, these are filled with cookie butter ice cream. (Although you should feel free to swap in your favorite storebought flavor if you don't have an ice cream maker). Get the recipe.
Bonus: Homemade Carvel Ice Cream Cake
It may not come from a truck, but you know you want it. The fluffy frosting! The crunchy bits! It's all here. Assembling this will take a while, since you have to pause to re-freeze the cake at multiple stages, but it's WORTH IT. Here's how to make it.
Even more serious over-achievers can try this borderline-insane but gorgeous ice cream cake recipe on Smitten Kitchen that uses all homemade ingredients.
- Hillary Clinton came closer than ever to attacking Donald Trump's character and tied her opponent to the "alt-right" movement.
- Italy declared a state of emergency in the regions hardest hit by Wednesday's earthquake. At least 267 people have died and 400 others were injured.

Sebastien Leclercq & Tasha Doremus. Photographs of modern seafaring in Finland.
French/English artist couple Sebastien Leclercq and Tasha Doremus began their photography project in July 2013, on a cargo ship sailing from Rauma, Finland, to Hull, England, via Santander in Spain. Following this, the artists spent a month between January and February 2014 on various ships off the coasts of Finland, Sweden and Germany.
Leclercq and Doremus photographed people at work in ports and on the decks, bridges and engine rooms of cargo ships. They sailed on a tug boat and were given a lift on a pilot vessel on a freezing night. The couple enjoyed the hospitality of the crew and shared delicious food with them in the mess.
Despite their documentary nature, the exhibition photographs and short videos can even be considered romantic in spirit. While there is no escaping the occasionally monotonous nature of work, the maritime surroundings lend a certain majesty to the drudgery. The pictures record the simple beauty of torrential rain, freezing winds and the glimmer of sunlight.
Many thanks to the shipowners and pilotage authorities that enabled the photography project and welcomed the artists on board their vessels: Godby Shipping, Meriaura, Finnlines, Langh Ship, Alfons Håkans, Wasaline and Finnpilot.
The exhibition was produced by
RaumArs Artist in Residence Programme
in collaboration with Rauma

Faith, Hope, Love - Sailor Tattoos
13.5.2016 – 11.9.2016
Matters close to the heart were immortalised on the skin.
The Faith, Hope and Love exhibition explores the history of sailors' tattoos through a unique tattoo design collection. What do these old designs tell us? Can they help us to experience what it was like to work on the frequently dangerous seas
Many tattoo designs are symbolic and expressive of hopes and fears that were perhaps never uttered aloud. They communicate the fear of death, longing for home and the hope of reuniting with a much-loved fiancée. Matters close to the heart were immortalised on the skin. Tattoos of dragons and tigers, on the other hand, represent power and danger.
Sailors' tattoos are more than mere decoration – they reveal the hidden depths of those who bear them. Tattooed skin tells a range of stories about gender and sexuality. Why have so many men had tattoos of women made on their skin throughout the decades? Why are pictures of men almost entirely missing from tattoo designs?
Nowadays, many people decorate their skin with traditional tattoos similar to those which once adorned sailors. But is their meaning the same? Who opts for a butterfly, a pin-up girl or a sailing ship? What kind of tattoo would you choose?
Created by the
Maritime Museum of Sweden
, the exhibition was brought to the Maritime Centre Vellamo by the Maritime Museum of Finland.

You now have one more reason to buckle those seat belts. Law enforcement nationwide is cracking down on seat belt violators.
Before you start that key, be sure to buckle up.
It's Click It or Ticket time, and if you get caught without your seat belt, you will pay.
"Some of the fatalities are ejections, when people are thrown from the vehicle. It's not just injured or killed inside the vehicle. They're actually ejected, where a seat belt would've prevented it," says Chief Deputy Don Valenza, with the Houston County Sheriff's Office.
News 4 spent about five minutes at one popular Dothan intersection, studying just two lanes of traffic to see how many seat belt violators we could find.
We spotted at least six with our cameras.
What may start out as a simple seat belt violation could turn into a larger infraction.
"At that point, they'll check others; driver's license, proof of insurance. If they don't have these items also, they could be charged," added Chief Deputy Valenza.
Adding just one more reason to click it.
The campaign runs through June 1st.

Teen killed after being hit by train in Fort Worth
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - A 16-year-old boy was killed when he was hit by a train while crossing railroad tracks in Fort Worth after four other friends crossed unharmed.
the boy was pronounced dead at the scene Sunday afternoon.
Police Cpl. Tracey Knight said five boys ages 15 to 16 were headed to a neighborhood store when they walked between the cars of a parked train and then ran across another set of tracks in front of the moving train.
Union Pacific spokeswoman Raquel Espinoza said a train engineer reported seeing a group of people near the track and sounded a whistle. She said they were not at a railroad crossing.
She says Union Pacific officials have begun an investigation.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Be advised this is a very lengthy report which includes email correspondence from the company in question.
Bondi New York is a new company that was established in March 2013 selling nail polishes and polish subscription boxes. It started off well enough with great customer service and a good product. My first order was in July, which was for a prepaid year subscription (3 polishes and a beauty product every month). One of Bondi's perks to being a subscriber is that you would be able to purchase add on boxes (again 3 polishes) for a discounted price. I personally made purchases from the spring/summer line with no issues at that point in time and received my August box as promised. Additionally, Bondi had a contest where 5 winners would receive their first box free. The winners did in fact receive the first box free from the Spring/Summer line of polishes.
Fast forward to September, when subscribers received this email:
"We're getting ready to start shipping our September box!
We know many of you took advantage of a second box, in fact many of you ordered a third and a forth to complete your Fall by Bondi collection (thank you!)
It's nearly that time of the month when we close off and start getting ready for the October box. This is our final call for ordering an additional box or two (or more) from the September collection before this offer disappears faster than last weeks mani.
If you would like to order more colors from our forthcoming Fall/Winter collection in multiples of three, simply follow this link and check out with code FALLBYBONDI
This will bring the price to $16 for three full sized polishes, saving of $21.50 on full retail price.
Your additional box order/s will ship at the same time as your regular subscription box.
Terms and conditions apply*.
With love from the team @ Bondi New York
*Additional box orders will ship at the same time as the primary subscription box. The additional box purchase is for three polishes only and does not include a beauty gift. No substitutions allowed. You must have an active subscription to be eligible for this promotion. Additional box orders must be placed before midnight EST on September 13th 2013. No additional coupons or discounts are permitted with the additional box. Coupons are not stackable."
Of course many subscribers, including myself, took advantage of the deal and ordered additional boxes. However, 9 days later customers received an email addressing issues with the September boxes.
"Bondi New York customers have come to recognize us for transparency and openness and this has enabled us to build a strong following of customers and fans who place their trust in our brand.
Recently, we have let you down in that transparency and openness. You will have noticed that there have been delays in responding to posts on here and on our social media channels. I acknowledge that our growth has caused some challenges and I take full responsibility as the guy in charge for this. We have been fast to address these through recruiting more staff and responding as promptly as possible via social media, email, telephone and our live chat service.
We are one of a small handful of subscription services that do not have millions of dollars in venture capital in the bank. This is a double edged sword as it means that we can provide a level of service which is not driven by one thing - squeezing as much revenue out of you as possible without a care for customer service. Equally we cannot be wreckless with money and hire hundreds of staff nor throw money at problems when they arise to buy ourselves out of the dog poop.
For us, this truly is our "glossy gate" moment.
The delay in the September box has been two fold. Firstly, the ability to customize your color choices has added a delay to shipping. I recently announced in a blog post that we will be moving our shipping date to the 15th of each month to allow a 14 day window for you to choose your colors and place an order and for us to pack and ship your box. In no way has the delay to the September box been related to the additional box orders as some have speculated.
Our biggest challenge and the cause of the delay for the September box has been the production of the Fall/Winter colors. Typically it takes 6-8 weeks for polish to be produced. I was not happy with the formulation of the collection and improved the formula to meet my expectations for wear. This lead to a delay, however I was confident we would meet a shipping date of this Friday.
Regrettably, we have been informed today that there is going to be a four week delay in us receiving this polish from the manufacturer on the West Coast of the US.
I am sharing this information here first as I consider each of you Bondi family. This is ahead of an email that will be going out later today to all of our subscribers.
What this means is that our September box will actually be shipping during the second week of October. This will also be the same time that we ship the October box. We were mindful of possible production issues for boxes going forward and have ensured that we included the new colors for October, November and December in the delivery we are now awaiting so that we are not back here in a months time with the same problems.
So to recap, what I am saying is that the September box will ship second week of October and the October box will ship out the same week.
Naturally I appreciate that as a customer, you may not be forgiving of this issue. What I will say is that I am not going to ship poor quality product and I stand by my decision to request a reformulation. It is disappointing that our manufacturer has not met their delivery deadline, however I take full responsibility for not being more transparent earlier in the process.
Given the challenges and issues at hand, it is only fair that I recognize and compenste you accordingly.
If you are a prepaid 3, 6 or 12 month customer, we have extended your subscription by one month with my compliments, in addition, within the next five days you will receive a voucher for $12.50 off your next order (excluding subscriptions).
For our month-to month subscription customers we will be issuing a $15 voucher for use with any purchase on our website (excluding subscriptions). If you would like to cancel your subscription and receive a refund, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. Please allow five business days for the refund to be processed and to receive confirmation. If you cancel your subscription, you will not receive the $15 voucher.
If you ordered a one time box, we will issue a $10 voucher for use against a future order. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com with your order number so that we may process this for you.
The team and I do not wish for you to cancel, we understand that you work hard for every dollar you spend with us (for our international customers pounds, euros, bhat etc!). We have been working hard behind the scenes to improve the service going forward. Some of these improvements include:
Redesigned packaging for a more luxurious experience (without an increase in price) and to protect the polish in transit - launching December 2013. Changing our shipping partner to FedEx from the September box to allow full tracking of the package (USPS will manage the final leg from FedEx depot to your door - continuing to support unionized, American jobs).
Full account service from November 2013 - including the ability to change your card information, skip, and select colors without needing to use coupon codes!
Making our Fall/Winter and subsequent collections permanently available for the season for you to choose from, in addition to introducing 3-6 fresh colors each month. Increasing staffing to ensure that telephone, email and live chat support is available 24/7/365 - effective from October 1st 2013.
Providing swatches for all new colors and comprehensive descriptions and shade clarification - effective from October 2013.
We have many more improvements based on your feedback over the past couple of months.
I hope that this post answers any questions that you have and sets out what has happened and what we are doing to compensate and to improve going forward. As always, I am available via email - firstname.lastname@example.com for any questions.
My team and I truly do value each and every customer. It is not easy letting you down, it makes us more determined to make sure it gets done right going forward."
Since customers were offered a discount voucher for the delay, many customers including myself again took advantage of the offer.
So now here were are on Oct 16 and customers received this confirmation email:
"We're writing to provide you with an update on your subscription service with Bondi New York.
Beauty Gift Status: PACKED & AWAITING COLLECTION
Subscription Box: BUILD STAGE*
Your Beauty Gift Status is "PACKED & AWAITING COLLECTION" This means that it has been packed, labelled and is ready for collection by USPS. Once USPS collects the package, you will receive another email from us with the tracking information for this package.
Your subscription box is currently at "BUILD STAGE". This means that we are currently hand picking and packing your order. Once this process is complete, we will email you with a status update to "PACKED & AWAITING COLLECTION" after which, once USPS collects your package, you will receive another email from us with the tracking information.
Due to the size of the gift/s being shipped, and consolidation of subscription boxes and additional box orders, we have taken the steps of shipping this separate to your main subscription box.
We would like to take this opportunity to let you know that once this shipping process is complete, Bondi New York will be back with its A-game and from November shipping boxes mid-month as assured.
If you should have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email@example.com where a member of the team will be happy to assist."
Thank you for your order from Bondi New York! We wanted to let you know that your order (#xxxx) was shipped via USPS, USPS First Class Mail on 10/23/2013. You can track your package at any time using the link below.
Please note, owing to the volume of packages that USPS are processing, your tracking information may take a few days to update. This is not unusual as packages are scanned in batches. If you have any questions or concerns, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Shipped To:
Track Your Shipment: 9400110200881940xxxxxx
This shipment includes the following items:
|Item #
Why is this? While it was not an easy decision, our September issues and our continued shipping problems have made it increasingly difficult for our small team to focus on our business operations while also providing readily available customer service. We've heard your concerns, and this has guided our decision to suspend subscriptions. This will allow the time needed for our team review operations and provide you with the quality products and services we sought to deliver when we we're established only in March.
What does this mean? When our polish is recovered and restocked, we will inform you of its availability, accompanied by discount codes and special promotions that will enable you to repurchase the polishes you have been waiting for.
We cannot express enough our appreciation and gratitude for your patience. Having only launched in March we've seen a large growth in our dedicated consumer base. We want to personally thank those loyal customers who have contributed to that growth, and who continue to provide support to our team. As more information becomes available, we will be sure to keep you informed. "
In the event that you have an issue with a refund through PayPal not crediting to you, there are two options available to you:
1. File a claim with PayPal. (If you are outside of the 45 day claim window, please follow the instructions below).
2. Please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the following information:
- The name and email address associated to the PayPal account that you made your purchase with.

- The address that a refund is to be sent to.
Once we have acknowledged your claim and confirmed the repayment, please allow 7-10 days for receipt of your refund check."
