How a Polish script, a German director, an Australian lead actress, and an Italian-American actor managed to concoct such an authentic vision of the deceased French filmmaker is beyond comprehension, but they accomplished it nonetheless. Heaven looks, feels, and sounds like a Kieslowski film with its limited dialogue and slow, deliberate pacing, but it's actually the product of Tom Tykwer, who directed the acclaimed films Run Lola Run, and The Princess and the Warrior. Tykwer gives credit to Kieslowski's writing, but the cinematography, the scenes, the sound design, and the performances are a result of his decisions.
Continue reading: Heaven Review
Tykwer reunites with Lola star Franka Potente, casting her as Sissi (the princess, presumably) a troubled mental ward nurse who probably ought to be a patient herself. After a morose 20-minute setup wherein the players are cryptically introduced, we find Sissi lying near death under a semi truck, run down in a city street. To her rescue comes the unlikely hero Bodo (the warrior?), played by the Gary Oldmanesque Benno Fürmann (also Potente's Anatomy costar), a two-bit crook who indirectly caused the collision in the first place. Bodo saves Sissi's life by giving her a homemade tracheotomy, and after a long recovery, the already unstable Sissi soon finds herself obsessed with her savior.

Can you guess where in the world this picture was taken?
4 thoughts on "Where is it Wednesday?"
Is it Melbourne railway station?
Some place where someone high on glue hired another guy high on glue to decorate. Don't do glue kids.
Is it in Paris at the Musee d'Orsay?
I'm not sure where this is either, but Jack's comment cracked me up! It definitely looks like the work of someone with a surrealist's sense of the absurd.

Pork of Yore owners Ida Vaillancourt and Gary MacDonell raise heritage pigs on their 200-year-old farm northwest of Renfrew.
The animals – about 100 mostly Berkshire or Tamworth-Berkshire crosses – have access to large mobile houses where they can take shelter from the weather or farrow their young. But mostly, they're out in the fields, foraging for grasses and leaves, and grazing on apples and wild plums from the fruit trees that dot the 110-acre property. They benefit from exercise, fresh air and sunlight. They can root, dig and wallow to their hearts' content, and they aren't subjected to the painful tail-docking and tooth-clipping that take place at factory farms. In other words, they get to express what high-profile American farmer Joel Salatin calls the "pigness of the pig".
Better life, better taste
Raising the animals in a healthy, stress-free environment not only gives them a better life, it results in safe, richly flavourful pork. After years of eating ultra-lean, dry-textured supermarket cuts, customers are bowled over by the succulence of naturally raised meat, Ida says. To prove it, she lets me sample a slice of roast butt chop as well as squares of pork terrine prepared by Chef David Cooke of Arowhon Pines. I found the meat to be addictively tasty, with the colour and umami of dark turkey meat. It's a hit with area chefs, too: Pork of Yore is a regular supplier to The Black Tomato, Thyme & Again, Indulge Kitchen & Cocktails and Arowhon Pines.
"What you feed an animal affects the taste, and stress hormones affect the texture," Ida says. "We don't expose our pigs to artificial growth stimulants or chemical additives, and we don't feed them animal by-products. They eat chemical-free pasture and hay, in addition to a twice-daily mixture of locally milled grains and soy." The pigs certainly seem healthy and happy, following Ida and me as we tour the paddocks and gently nuzzling the backs of our legs.
More eco-friendly
Rotating the pigs through the paddocks – each paddock is at least of 2.5 acres — also helps keep the land healthy, Ida says, by stimulating new growth and returning nutrients to the soil.
Although sustainably raised meat is more expensive than what's in supermarket cases, its superior taste and more humane and eco-friendly production make it worthwhile for a growing number of consumers.
Industrial pork
Pork of Yore's approach stands in stark contrast to the industrial meat system. It's no secret that most pigs in Canada and the U.S. are housed in crowded, contaminated surroundings, and given daily doses of drugs, including ractopamine, a controversial substance to promote leanness that's been banned in the EU, Russia and mainland China.
In the past few weeks, the Humane Society International/Canada has made headlines by calling for a complete ban on gestation crates for breeding sows. The crates are too small for the sow turn around or to lie down in comfortably, yet most breeding sows in Canada are confined to them throughout pregnancy. Not surprising, the confinement promotes anxious, repetitive behaviour in the animals, and results in sores, abrasions and other injuries. The sows are moved to slightly larger cages to give birth, then re-impregnated and returned to the gestation crate for the next cycle.
The National Farm Animal Care Council has drafted a new code of practice calling for gestation crates to be phased out by July 1, 2024, but the Humane Society is pushing for faster action to bring practices in line with Canadian public opinion (more than 84% oppose the use of gestation crates, it says) and with the direction major food companies such as MacDonalds and Costco have already committed to.
Write your MPP about local abattoirs
As a culture, we've become so used to industrial farming we tend to see pasture production as a relic of the past. Not so, Ida Vaillancourt says. "In fact, it's the historical norm and the best way to protect people, animals and the land."
Besides buying pastured pork, she urges people to support small meat producers by contacting their MPPs and demanding a stronger local abattoir system including mobile abattoirs where those make sense. Today, most animal processing is carried out by a handful of big facilities. Consequently, producers must transport animals to slaughter over longer distances, a more time-consuming, costly process that stresses the animals and racks up extra food miles. Licensing local abattoirs, as the B.C. government has done with the Salt Spring Abattoir, would go a long way to encouraging small-scale meat producers, Ida says.
Where to find Pork of Yore products: At the farm gate, the Carp Farmers Market and the Ottawa Valley Food Co-operative. You can also call 613-649-0076 or order online from firstname.lastname@example.com
What's most important to you when you buy pork or any other meat: price, taste, eco-friendly production, or ethical treatment of the animal?

Converting battery powered baby swing to wall plug power
There's a similar post out there about converting a battery powered baby swing to run off a dc power supply but since I'm not sure if it's cool to hijack someone's post I just started a new one.
Here's the link to what I'm trying to do: Russelldad's blog: Guest Post: Baby Swing Batteries/Plug Switch Modification
That link provides some text to describe how the circuit needs to be hooked up but what I really need is a picture, or some much more detailed text. I've got the parts (DC power supply, adapter plug, wire and SPDT switch) ready to go. Just need some input on what needs to connect to what.
The swing is powered by 4 D batteries and I'd like be able to operate from either wall power or battery power depending on which way the switch is thrown. Throw the switch one way and the swing should run off the batteries - throw it the other way and the swing should run off the wall plug power. I'm hoping I got the right switch as I'm seeing websites out there that make me think I should have gotten a DPDT switch.
Can anyone take a look at this pic and tell me which letters need to be connected?

Re: Converting battery powered baby swing to wall plug power
From the description you won't need to do anything to the existing internal on/off switch. It shouldn't make a difference whether it goes to bat+ , or to bat-.
Is the center pin B of your switch really the common pin? (I'll assume it is.)
Disconnect red wire at BAT+ PIN D. Connect this red wire to SWITCH PIN B.
Wire BAT+ PIN D to SWITCH PIN A.
Wire plug+ PIN G to SWITCH PIN C.
Wire plug- PIN F to BAT- PIN E (common ground).

Re: Converting battery powered baby swing to wall plug power
But note one important thing. The batteries supply Constant and pure DC, while the plug pack will have unregulated DC with ripples. This may damage your circuits which are now running safe with batteries. Measure the voltage with and without load, and both should be almost the same. Coz i have modified a similar circuit where i have used LM317 based regulator.

Humans have an amazing ability to recover. We can be almost like dogs that way; give us a little positive stimulus and we happily live in the moment. Forget about the misery you were just experiencing, here's a candy bar. We're easy like that, myself as much as anyone. The storm darkened sky, pre-downpour humidity and stressful drive had created the impression that it was much later than it actually was. I sat down and gave myself a stern talking to. That, a coffee, a smoke, and a long hot shower put me back at the top of my game. I felt electric with excitement when I hit the lobby. There was no bar, so I passed the time thinking about all the people I know in L.A., friends present and past. Even the inevitable twenty minute wait past the appointed meeting time did not temper my enthusiasm.
By the time we eventually did depart it was a perfect West Coast evening. The humidity had vanished with the rain and the desert grit had washed down our respective shower drains. Saltwater breezes carried our truck out and onto the highway, headed for Chinatown. It occurred to me that we had begun our story over a late night meal in a Chinese restaurant in Flushing, Queens.
"Kar Wai, what type of restaurant are we going to?"
"Hot pot. Like we went to before. Your favorite kind."
It was almost like I knew what he was going to say before he answered. I know how important symmetry and symbols are in his culture. He was bookmarking the end of our scout in the same way he began it.
"So we finish just like we started, with hot pot. Does this mean we return to New York tomorrow?
He answered with silence and a smile. I wasn't letting it go just yet. After months spent in the dark I think I might have gotten a step ahead of him at last. For just this one brief moment, about this simple thing, I had figured him out. I was in tune with the master. My excitement was hard to contain.
"Our special guest, is it Jackie Pang?"
After all, she had been the highlight of our initial hot pot dinner. It would have fit perfectly, exact symmetry. He smiled even wider.
"No, it is not."
Damn it, maybe I hadn't figured him out after all. At least I knew how to make him happy, which was simply a matter of not understanding him. That clearly gave him great pleasure.
Moments like the one where we emerged from the hotel, feeling the warm ocean breeze and seeing the palm fronds moving in the wind made me wonder why I had never moved to L.A. The forty-five minute drive to the restaurant answered my question. The place was in a strip mall that was composed entirely of Chinese businesses. At one time not so long ago I would be thrown by the concept of the Chinese part of town being in a strip mall. My first experience in a Chinatown was San Francisco, most of the rest were in New York. I knew them as neighborhoods of narrow streets, bright colors and dark alleys. It wasn't until this trip that I understood Chinatown as a state of mind more than a physical place. I learned this by experiencing the far-flung diaspora through Kar Wai's introductions; seeing the varied ways and places that the community existed in every part of America.
Our big surprise guest was a letdown at first. He was a young, very thin and somewhat nerdy Chinese-American fellow named John. After the buildup by Kar Wai I had expected someone more exciting. As was the norm, no detailed introductions or explanations were made. He was simply presented without embroidery. Seemed nice enough, though, and certainly expressed an interest in learning about my craft. Just like our mutual friend he was elusive when questioned, but it soon became apparent that he was an aspiring screenwriter of some sort. After an appropriate bit of attention was paid to our guest I shifted focus to my French friends and, more importantly, the many bottles of Tsingtao we were quaffing.
The food came in waves, and was absolutely delicious. No one complained as I dumped plenty of hot peppers into the broth, and we took turns plucking aromatic chunks of meat out and popping them in our mouths. John and Kar Wai were pretty intently catching up with one another and despite paying them scant attention I noticed something strange happening. Every so often a person or a few people together would approach our table and take a long look at us. Usually women, and mostly of a certain age. Initially I believed they were fans of Kar Wai's, but it became clear that they were checking out our new pal John. A few even grabbed quick pictures before giggling and scampering off. I needed to know what the deal was with this kid.
"Excuse me, sorry for asking, but are you famous, John?"
He flushed a little and looked away.
"What, are you a movie star in China?"
"No, no. I'm not a movie star. I did a little acting when I was younger but not for a long time now."
The more I looked, the more familiar he seemed but I could not place it for the life of me. Kar Wai interjected.
"John is being modest. He was a child actor and is in a couple of very big movies."
He shrank a little deeper into his chair. Something else struck me. Throughout the evening he had referred to someone named "Steven" repeatedly and with great respect. I had mentally filed it in the way one does when gathering contextual clues about a recent acquaintance. Now it repeated in my mind. Steven, Steven, a guy named Steven and a young Chinese boy actor. Wait, no, it couldn't be…
"Short Round! You're Short effing Round from Temple of Doom, aren't you!"
If he was slouching before, now he was nearly beneath the table. Probably didn't help that I had absolutely bellowed this last bit, my discretion a casualty of beer and excitement.
Gears turned and clicked in my head.
"So that means you are also Data, from The Goonies!"
"Holy crap, man. You were a big part of my childhood. I love you. "
"Why thank you."
"Holy shit, Short Round. Go figure. So, wait, hang on a second. You complained earlier that you can't meet any women."
"Yes, I am lonely sometimes."
"Dude. Dude. Dude, you are frigging Data, man! We can walk into any bar in town, let the girls know who you are and you'll be fighting them off. Trust me."
"No, no, that's not true. No one cares about that."
"It is so true. Even if you weren't Data we could get you laid just by saying you were him. Man, you've got gold and you're hiding it. Don't keep your lantern under a bushel, man, shine your light so the world can see!"
At this point Kar Wai was laughing so hard he was in tears. The rest of the table was enjoying it all as well. That's how it was with Kar Wai, the best times were as good as life gets. Fun company, copious amounts of food and drink, talking about creative ideas and potential new projects. Most of all, though, we enjoyed the very Fellini-esque atmosphere that surrounded him and swept up whoever he was with. We laughed our way through the rest of the meal, one hilarious moment after another. Truly good times. My only regret was my inability to get John to throw me a line from one of his films, but he would not be moved on this.
Finally Kar Wai cleared his throat and gave us all a serious look as he raised his glass.
"Thank you all for the hard work on this scouting journey. We have traveled a long way and seen many good things. I now have what I need for a story. Finish your drinks and we leave. Tomorrow morning we fly back to New York early. When we get to New York we should go look at the choices we like for a location there. Time to make decision."
Just like that you go from high to low. The trip ending was both relief and a letdown. The idea of sleeping in my own bed and getting a proper night's rest was diminished by the knowledge that we would leave directly from the airport and scout NYC without time to even drop our belongings at home or rest up. Also, by now it was after 2 A.M. in the city. I'd be in the air all the next day and somehow still have to arrange a scout that starts as soon as we land. It never does get any easier.
After making our goodbyes we shambled across the parking lot towards the truck. Kar Wai's toast had taken the momentum out of the night, and exhaustion was overtaking us. We still faced a long commute to the hotel, followed by a very brief bit of sleep, and a cross-country flight. As we were climbing in the truck the repeated bleating of a horn finally caught our attention. We all turned to see John leaning out of his window.
"Hey, Sammy! Sammy!"
"John! What is it?"
"No time for love now, Dr. Jones!"
He laughed manically as he sped away into the night.

Synchronized Stitching
When it comes to mid-century sewing, there are so many new terms to learn! It gets even more challenging when multiple techniques all use one basic stitch foundation. Here's a quick look at some of the easily muddled processes for handling fullness. (You'll find the techniques explained and used in The Dressmaker's Guide.)
Synchronized Stitching
Each of these techniques uses one or more rows of running stitch as a foundation. These stitches may be completely even, or uneven (usually with a larger stitch taken on the wrong side of the work). The stitches may be long (1/4″, to even so long as 1/2″) or short (1/16″ to 1/8″). There may be one or two rows, or many rows. But generally, the stitches are worked by hand, and taken at the same intervals in each row, stacking up in synchronized sets that, when drawn up, create very controlled, regular "pleats" of fabric. (These are distinct from flat, folded pleats.) There are fine distinctions among the fullness-handling methods as to the exact combinations of these features, so it can be a prime "muddling" point.
Raw Edge Versus Folded Edge
We find our first distinguishing features here: are the running stitches worked along a raw edge, or a folded edge? Gathering, stroked gathering, and shirring are each worked near the raw edge of a garment section. Gauging is worked along a folded edge of fabric, and is typically reserved for the waist treatment of skirts at mid-century.
How Much?
Any of these methods use hand stitching, which has the potential to allow a high proportion of fabric to be controlled to a relatively small area. The precise density of gathering, stroked gathering, shirring, and gauging is primarily influenced by the prevailing styles of the particular window on the era, so there's no concrete measurement that applies to the entire mid-century. Rather, it's important to look at the overall proportion and fashion for your segment of the century, and control enough fullness to get that look in your reproduced styles. (The best way to do that is to examine as many originals and images from the era as possible, and do a bit of math to work out ratios.)
One or two rows of synchronized stitches are worked near the raw edge, and drawn up into gathered pleats. The garment section is sewn right-sides-together with another garment section, binding, or waistband. The raw edge is either visible on the inside of the garment, covered with a facing, or enclosed in the waistband, cuff, or binding. The gathering stitches may be removed.
Stroked Gathering
Stroked gathering begins identically to plain gathering. It is typically used on a garment edge that will have a flat band as a finish (sleeve cuffs, skirt waists), but can be used elsewhere, such as the armscye of men's shirt sleeves.
Instead of sewing the gathered portion right-sides-together with the flat portion of the garment, the flat band edge is pressed to the wrong side. Then the band and gathered section are arranged, both right-sides-up, exactly as the finished garment should appear. To finish, a tiny whip-stitch secures every gathering pleat to the folded edge of the band. The piece is turned to be wrong-side-up, the band is folded into finished position, and the whipping is repeated on the wrong side of the garment, too.
The raw edge is still enclosed in the band, but the tiny whip stitches produce a very compact, tidy set of "pleats" at the band edge. The gathering stitches themselves may be removed.
Shirring is most often used to control fashionable, or design-element fullness, in bodices and sleeves. Shirred fashions are very popular in the 1840s, and into the 1850s; shirred styles persist into the 1860s, but the precise designs change through the entire era, so it's important to use shirring as it was used in your particular window of the era.
Many horizontal rows (often at least five, but twelve or more is not uncommon) of synchronized running stitch control fashion-fabric fullness starting at the waist, and reaching into the rib area, and even all the way to the shoulder in some mid-century bodice designs.
While the rows have synchronized "stacks" of stitching, the individual row length may vary, the spacing between rows may vary, and the density to which the shirring is drawn up may vary from waist toward the bust (typically, the shirring controls fullness most densely at the waistline, and "fans" out above.)
Shirring may also be worked vertically on bodices or sleeves, and is sometimes employed in creating trims, as well. Shirred garments sometimes have a row of trim laid along selected shirring lines, covering the shirring stitches and stabilizing the fullness, while adding a decorative element. Whether the shirring lines are embellished or not, shirring is often stabilized by tacking along the shirring line, through to the fitted lining of the garment, and the running stitches foundational to the shirring are generally left in place.
Shirring is different from smocking. With smocking, the rows generally confine the same amount of fullness at the same density, and additional decorative stitches are worked over the rows to stabilize the stitches and fullness. Smocking is not tacked through to a fitted lining. While there is some documentation for a style of smocking used on British and European field-worker's coverall smocks, this technique does not seem to have been in popular use for American and non-field-work clothing at mid-century.
Gauging is typically reserved for handling skirt fullness, and develops as a common technique in the early to middle 1840s, when increasing skirt circumferences and fashion preference outstrip stroked gathering's ability to control fullness without increased bulk.
Gauging uses 2-3 rows of synchronized running stitch (even or uneven), but the stitches are worked close to the folded waist edge of a freshly-balanced skirt. The drawn-up gauged pleats are laid right-sides-together with a finished waistband or bodice, and each rounded "valley" that touches the band or bodice is hand-whipped to the finished edge. This creates a "hinge" that pushes the skirt out and away from the body when worn. Because no fullness is enclosed in the waistband, or resting on the inside of the bodice, gauged skirts add zero to very, very minimal bulk at the waist.
(By the mid-1840s, pleated skirts are also pleated along a folded edge, and whipped to the bodice or a skirt band, preserving the no- to minimal-bulk positives of the desired silhouette.)
And What About Cartridge Pleating?
Functionally, "cartridge pleating" is the same as gauging. It's simply a more modern term for the technique (so don't look for it in mid-century descriptions, notes, or manuals), and may have its origin in the similarity of the regular, rounded pleats to the rounded loops of cartridge belts that coincided with the development of metal-cased ammunition. Ammunition loops of this nature held paper-wrapped ammunition charges during the 1879 Boer War (South Africa), but metal-cased small arms ammunition wasn't developed until the Swiss took on the engineering challenge in the early 1880s.
You may also hear the term "organ pleating", as gauged fullness can bear a resemblance to the vertical pipes of a pipe organ. However, "organ pleating" does not seem to be a mid-century term, either.
So, for mid-century, call it gauging.
Regardless of the technique used, handworked running stitches allow a great deal of flexibility and control in your mid-century clothing. You'll get the best results if you keep in mind a few basic tips:
1: Use a thimble. The added protection and traction allows you to work more quickly, and with less tissue damage (and unladylike language.)
2: Treat your threads. A bit of beeswax strengthens your sewing thread and helps reduce tangling.
3: Load up. Rock the needle through the fabric to "load" four to ten running stitches on the needle before pulling it through. You'll get straighter stitching lines, and increase your speed tremendously!
And if you're working at home:
4: Pop in a BBC costume drama. It sets a mood, and well-dressed historical gents are always good inspiration for quality stitching.

WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (26-0, 14KOs) had predicted that undefeated challenger Edwin Rodriguez (24-0, 16KOs) would struggle to make the 168-pounds limit - and he was right. Ward weighed 167.8-pounds at Friday's official weigh-in. Rodriguez, however, was pretty cut down and weighed two-pounds over the limit at 170-pounds. He has two hours to make the limit. The HBO televised fight takes place on Saturday night at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.
Ward is finally making his comeback to the ring after a 15 month hiatus which was the result of a shoulder injury and the rehabilitation that followed. Rodriguez is coming off a huge victory where he won the Monte Carlo Super Middleweight tournament.
This will be Rodriguez's first title bout while Ward will be making the 6th defense of his WBA title which he captured during his victorious run in the Super Six Tournament in 2010.
Charles Huerta 126 vs Jonathan Arrellano 126lbs – 8 Round Featherweight bout
Brandon Gonzales 167lbs Jonathan Nelson 166lbs – 10 Round Super Middleweight bout
Juan Funez 126lbs vs. Carlos Gonzalez 129lbs – 4 Round Featherweight bout
John Molina 141lbs vs Jorge Pimentel 142lbs – 8 Round Light Welterweight bout
Oscar Molina 153lbs vs. Carlos Sanchez 155lbs - 6 round Junior Middleweight bout

boys on 4x5
Since about a week I am suffering of some minor (but annoying) injuries after falling off my bicycle. The doctor said, nothing seriously damaged and it will just take some time to get back to normal. I went back to work, was shooting again, did everything I usually do, and I had the feeling I am not really improving. So for this weekend I promised myself to relax, do nothing and give my bones some rest. It was not meant to be, I had to go shopping, organising this and that, playing, jumping and running with kids, etc… it was a great weekend, just that my bones hurt more than before… and now on Sunday we were supposed to shoot… I definitely did not feel like shooting…. and normally when I don't feel like it, I tend to do something to make it a bit more interesting, challenging etc… so I decided to shoot only 4×5, took some polaroids and a few film holders, and left home all the usual medium format gear that I used to take in recent weeks…. just as a backup I had 35 mm cameras with me to fill the time or get some quick snapshots here and there, if needed, but all you see here is 4×5 – I took 18 pictures on film and maybe 10 polaroids on top of that, over the course of around 4 hours, I am not sure what that equates to in frames per second.
But anyway, very quickly I started to enjoy it, the place was great, the light really interesting and there was a lot of space to make good use of the large format camera, its movements, the geometries etc.
A few days earlier we went to the opening of the "Cathedral of the Pines" exhibtion of Gregory Crewdson here in Brussels and were lucky enough to meet Gregory, and had the opportunity to have a little chat. I have been inspired by his work for a long time, I love the cinematic style, the melancholic, hopperistic mood, the hint of mystery and story. For my personal work his images make me want to pull back, show the bigger picture, give my images more room and context. This is a bit the mindset I had when embarking on this shoot.
Arnaud is a great guy and awesome to work with. Especially when shooting with the 4×5 it is really helpful when you can see that your model is excited to shoot, patient and very interested in the process. At the same time, Emmanuel, working as professional model in NYC and good friend of Stephanie, happened to be in town, so we could "kill two birds with one stone " (what a bloody idiom) and take some portraits of him as well. Stephanie was using the off-time to make some interviews, as you can see on my 4×5 snapshot – at f5.6 and ISO 100 speed film I had shutter times of 1/2 to 1/8th – hence the motion blur.
The place left enough space that I could use my Rodenstock 5,6/210mm lens for most of the pictures. Normally its slightly too long for my taste and I tend to use it only for portraits, but here with these vast space it was really nice to use. If you are not familiar with 4×5, it translates to something like a 60mm on 35mm cameras. The beauty of this lens is that the face, the eyes, whatever you are focusing on really snaps into focus, the image on the ground glass gets a really 3-dimensional feel to it.
I took some old Polaroid 79. I really want to shoot them before they stop producing a usable image. The 79 held up quite well, they just tend to be very yellowish, the 59 I still have are a bit more tricky, more unpredictable. On top of that I shot a few Fuji FP100c45, which are clearly more modern, but also on the verge of showing some colour casts, uneven development etc. The black and white shots are Ilford FP4+, developed in Kodak HC110 for 9 minutes, the colour 4×5 are Portra 160. The polaroids and film pictures are almost duplicates, but I wanted to include them as well. I tend to take both if I think something is a picture, but introduce a little variation. Hope you enjoy the post….
Perfect men´s portrait gallery – STUNNING by tonality and contrast, by angle of shoot and by men´s themsleves.
These are gorgeous!
Composition, lighting, location. Alles ausgezeichnet!
Just beautiful – interesting to see you shoot guys. Seems like your style but still different to when you shoot girls. Something interesting in that.
And thanks for sharing your process.

Donald Trump supporters have met an official ballot deadline in Texas, paving the way for the business mogul to become a third-party candidate there, a source close to Trump tells The Blaze. Trump himself acknowledged the filing in a statement.
According to an email sent by the source to The Blaze on Sunday night, Trump supporters filed paperwork on Friday to create the "Make America Great Again Party," giving Trump the opportunity — should he take advantage of it — to be on the primary ballot.
Texas State law requires the paperwork to be notarized and filed by Jan 2, the source told The Blaze. At least one other Trump supporter had contacted the Texas Secretary of State's office to accept the paperwork on Monday despite it being an official holiday, the source added, but that became unnecessary once the paperwork was filed on Friday.
"I am aware and flattered by this filing by my supporters in Texas," Trump said in a statement. "I have not authorized anyone to act on my behalf and am not a candidate for president at this time. I will not, however, rule out a third-party candidacy if the Republicans nominate a candidate who cannot defeat Obama and I recently changed my party registration in New York state to preserve my legal option to appear on the ballot in all 50 states if I do decide to run."
The news comes on the heels of another Blaze exclusive last week, which noted that Trump supporters were mounting a third-party charge in the Lone Star state.

Topic: Writing a Letter (handwritten correspondence) (10/21/10)
TITLE: A Timely Message
By Therese Witkus
Others may be quick to hear the arrogant tone of demand, the whimsical nonsensical plea or the lament of the indolent within those words. To his mind, each stemmed from a heart's need seeking relief from untold pressures and an assurance of self-worth. He began reading the pages one by one, thoughtfully, with great interest.
He smiled and nodded at some, sighed wearily at a few, laughed joyously at many and suddenly felt his heartstrings played upon and his eyes darted across the page a time or two more. He loved the touch from one of his own and she had set his heart rejoicing.
He leaned into the chair humming a tune, pondering the most pleasurable reply imaginable. A moment or several passed and he pulled a sheet of writing paper from the stack, centering the leaf on the desk. Pen and ink then, would surely be the path to tread on this occasion. The beautifully formed words flowed freely and easily, filling that page and yet another, as he hummed and sang quietly to himself. The perfect delivery mode fitting into place delighted him beyond measure and he spoke the plan into being.
Her smile shone on every person she met moving through her day. Only on closing the door behind her, home and alone, did the smile fade just that little bit before her step lightened again.
She moved about the small kitchen warming soup and cutting bread. A life of calling, to serve God by serving others should feel natural and fulfilling. With each new mission the scenes, the causes and the people changed, and the energy lifting her spirit was a thrill that she lived to feel.
She mused about the last mission with more questions than answers and the way some element began creating a tension with the world that had been a place of joy. Her search led to a spiritual awakening, a trust that serving others less directly still served God and allowed a personal freedom in that called life bringing the fullness of joy to new heights. Clearing the dishes, she prayed further about having a burning desire and limited resources to begin such a life and placing the matter in God's hands, holding faith that his answer would be in time.
She shivered with the chill as she slipped beneath the quilts, relaxing as her own warmth prevailed and she slept soundly. Dreams lingered on her mind while still lying in bed and she could just grasp the vague sleep memory of her beloved father speaking to her. Her eye was drawn to his photograph placed on the old steamer trunk but she sat up to look again when it seemed to be missing. Odd that the frame had fallen flat without being noticed. He had sent it to her first overseas mission shortly before he died.
Holding the photograph in her hands the backing seemed askew. As she went about adjusting the back, a paper was just showing at the edge. She sat stunned and awed reading the letter that had been behind the frame for all these years.
"My dear, dear daughter… " it began and went on for two pages telling of his love for her and pride in her. He told of his sorrow that her mother had died in her infancy, and that he had loved watching over her. The greater shock came at the end of the second page giving directions to obtain the legacy he had provided for her.
Her new life of service did in fact, bring her fullness of joy. She knew and lived the truth, "Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened." 1
1 Matthew 7:7-8 NIV

Right here on the pages of this website, you are going to learn how to build an authority site (authority blog to be more specific).
Maybe you have tried building niche sites before?
The first thing you need to do is to stop trying to make money by building crappy niche sites that nobody likes to land on. Start building authority websites that make more money, that last pretty much forever and are more fun to work on.
By building authority sites (blogs), you are building real business assets that grow in value. When built properly, these high value websites stand the test of time. Because of their higher quality traits, these sites have much more potential to earn backlinks, maintain a high search engine ranking and earn more money.
It is fun to build one and very satisfying when you finish building it. You are actually proud to show your authority sites to your friends because they are profitable, good looking, websites to be proud of.
These kinds of websites make great sites that your target audience loves, which is part of the reason why you will succeed with one. People willingly share your site with each other. Search engines love this kind of website too. They actually want to rank it high.
This authority site model for building blogs is different from how you think of traditional blogging. This model is much better in my opinion.
This style of blog doesn't require you to add fresh content to it every day or every week. This website is more like a traditional website that just happens to look like a blog. You will understand what I mean by that as I explain this more and more.
How I Discovered Authority Sites And Their Potential
Let me share a short story with you…….
I started getting into internet marketing slowly back in 2006 on a part time basis. The business model that I liked the most was the small niche site model where you build a niche site to target a couple keywords with SEO. The goal was to build a small site that earned passive income.
I intended to learn how to make a profitable site that way and then scale it up till I had a whole bunch of these little money makers each bringing in a small percentage of my income.
With that original niche site business model you didn't try to build a very useful website. You just wanted to get traffic to your crappy site any way that you could and then get those people to click on advertisements or click an affiliate link.
Building a crappy site was actually to your advantage because it encouraged visitors to leave your site ASAP which meant more ad clicks.
Well, let me tell you, that business model sucked. It wasn't fun to build those kinds of sites at all. Then getting traffic to them was like pulling teeth because you had to trick people into visiting your crappy site. There is no way in hell anyone would be glad that they landed on a site like that. The whole business model just made you feel dirty. It sucked.
It was obvious that I wasn't going to get rich with that business model. But, at least it was bringing in some money. So, I kept at it while I kept working my regular job.
Fast forward a few years…..
Because I had built so many niche websites over the course of a few years, I had developed quite a useful skill set for building them. One day I decided to build a new website, not to make money with, but just to help me with something. It had to do with my day job.
You see, I had this specific knowledge about a topic that my friends were always asking me about. It would take me at least 15 minutes (sometimes much longer) to give a detailed explanation in order for somebody to really understand what I was trying to teach them.
So, I figured, why not build a website that explains this stuff in great detail. Then I could just tell people (both friends and strangers) to go read that website before I explain anything in person. That website would do most of the work in explaining what they needed to know.
So I went and built that website. I had it up and running for a couple months. Then just for giggles, I decided I would throw some Google Adsense ads on the site. At least it would pay for my hosting costs and maybe a little extra.
That is when I had an exceptionally pleasant surprise. This website earned more money than any other Adsense website I had built before. Actually, it blew away any of my other sites. Within six months, this site was earning close to $1,000 per month.
Seriously, that is what it felt like…….
The next thing I did was start to analyze what happened with that site and why. That is when I realized that my previous business model, of building those crappy little niche sites, was a bad business model. Instead of building crappy sites like those, I should be building these "authority style websites" instead.
The thing that made that authority website a success was that it had legitimately useful information on it that was kind of hard to find elsewhere online. And people really trusted my advice. So, when someone found it, they would tell their friends about it. The site earned thousands of natural shares in social media. It was being linked to naturally from other websites within its niche. It was a great feeling to build something that you could really be proud of.
The crazy thing about it is that building this authority site was actually easier than building one of those crappy little niche websites that I had been building. Can you believe that? It was actually easier.
Rest assured, if you have the skills to build one of those old-school niche websites or even just basic blogging skills, then you have the skills you need to build a modern authority site or authority blog. You just need a good business model to follow.

Domonic Brown is back, and then is immediately sent to Triple-A. Pablo Sandoval incurs the same injury Brown had, and now we finally know what is wrong with Ryan Zimmerman. Ben Zobrist does in one day what Hanley Ramirez has barely done all season and Dustin Moseley's deal with the devil continues (although apparently he forgot to include run support in those negotiations). In all, it was just another crazy week in the Tout Wars leagues.
The NL league is already off to a tight start as three teams are within two points of first place, while 2009 champ David Gonos has sprinted out to an early lead in the mixed league. Schechter owns a slim lead over defending champion Jason Grey in the AL league, but five other teams are only ten points off their pace (including myself) thanks to the monster week from the Zorilla. Meanwhile, the FAAB action was once again rather busy.
Andy Behrens purchased Tyson Ross ($2) and Tom Gorzelanny ($0): I like Ross's long-term potential but the early returns have not been promising. He has a 2.76 ERA, but his walk and strikeout total are equal right now, and that has been what has held him back. Ross has a bright future in Oakland, but I am not so sure it is right now. Gorzelanny is a tough add because he is getting strikeouts, but his peripherals point to bad times ahead and replacement level pitchers like him are tough roster additions in mixed leagues. That said, it is a two-start week, and he kicked things off by shutting down the Giants over eight innings last night.
David Feldman purchased Darwin Barney ($5), Ryan Roberts ($10), Jason Hammel ($10), J.R. Towles ($0), Allen Craig ($0), Mark Melancon ($0), Jason Bourgeois ($1): Barney's early returns match his Triple-A numbers very well, but that means he still has a complete lack of power. He is still rather productive early, but that .361 BABIP is going to be tough to hold up. Roberts had a very good April with six home runs, 16 runs driven in, 13 runs scored, and three steals in 79 plate appearances, so it is rather surprising he was acquired this cheaply. I am also a big fan of the Hammel acquisition, as I touted him for a breakout season in one of my first articles here at Baseball Prospectus—he is off to a serviceable start. Conversely, J.R. Towles remains on my DTM (dead to me) list for how he tanked my 2007 debut in Tout Wars, and the 29 percent line drive rate and the 25 percent HR/FB rate are going to decline soon. If you have him and can move him, sell. Melancon might pick up some saves if Brandon Lyon continues to blow what save opportunities are handed him, and Bourgeois is on pace to surpass his stolen base total of last year in roughly one-third of the time.
Paul Petera purchased John McDonald ($3): The Minister of Defence is doing next to nothing offensively. I do not have access to the player pool, so I am not aware of what was left to roster at this position, but McDonald is a tough guy to carry on a mixed league roster.
Derek Carty purchased Juan Rivera ($10), Jose Lopez ($0), and Jeff Francis ($0): The good news is Juan Rivera cannot get much worse than his 4-40 start to the season. The stolen base on Sunday was as surprising as his caught stealing in the same inning, as he is not fleet of foot. Rivera is walking at the same rate he is striking out at, which is better than his career habits, but he has just three extra base hits in 90 plate appearances—that is where he has killed those who rostered him on draft day. Jose Lopez has stunk everywhere, but so has Will Rhymes, and Carty pulled the plug on Rhymes as the Tigers are likely to do the same. Francis is not walking anyone, but he is hardly striking out anyone as well, and the lack of wins and strikeouts really make him nothing more than reserve material.
Nando DiFino purchased Aaron Rowand ($1): Rowand is doing nothing different than he has in recent seasons, but Nando needed to replace Willie Bloomquist, and he was without outfield help on his bench as Josh Hamilton is still out.
Nick Minnix purchased Vicente Padilla ($6): Nick jumped in on what might have been a new piece of the off and on closer situation in Los Angeles, but relievers that walk more batters than they strike out tend not to close too many games and that is what Padilla is doing in his admittedly very limited 2011.
Fred Zinkie purchased Dustin Moseley ($3), Vance Worley ($0), Jonathan Herrera ($3), Brett Lawrie ($1): Moseley's deal with the devil was referenced earlier. He's only 1-3 on the season, but he has a 1.63 ERA despite a terrible 3.7 strikeout rate. Pitching in Petco helps, but a .236 BABIP and 83 percent LOB rate is going to regress, despite that 57 percent groundball rate he has this season. Worley had a nice debut for the Phillies while replacing the injured Joe Blanton. He has strikeout potential that he flashed in the minor leagues. Herrera has been an early season surprise, as he is walking more often than he is striking out, and is getting on base 43 percent of the time while hitting .300 to go along with four steals. He had a nine game hitting streak earlier, but is just 6 for his last 31 with one extra base hit. Lawrie is a speculation for later this season as he is raking n Triple-A Las Vegas, but his defense has been rather poor thanks to a combination of throwing errors and fielding gaffes.
Tim Heaney purchased Joel Pineiro ($4) and Conor Jackson ($6): Pineiro looked fantastic in his debut this past weekend against the Rays, as he kept the ball down all game long (save the one pitch he elevated that Matt Joyce hit out of the park). Jackson is hitting for average and getting on base, and he has driven in ten runs mostly on the strength of doubles, as he has just one home run in 64 plate appearances.
David Gonos purchased Emilio Bonifacio ($0): Gonos has a bona fide problem at third base with Zimmerman out, so he is trying his luck with Bonifacio and hoping he can get some cheap steals. Thus far, Bonifacio is getting on base, but he has attempted just three stolen bases despite being on first base 22 times already this season.
Scott Wilderman purchased Emmanuel Burriss ($7) and Mark Hamilton ($0): Hamilton was recalled when David Freese had his hand broken. He had 12 walks compared to just seven strikeouts in 49 Triple-A plate appearances. Compare that to the 35 walks and 70 strikeouts he had last season at the same level, or the 13 walks and 34 strikeouts the season before at Triple-A, and we get a better picture of what he really is. Burris was recalled when Sandoval's hand was broken. Burriss was having a strong season for the Giants in Triple-A as he had 15 runs, 15 stolen bases, and was getting on base 42 percent of the time. Burriss has 504 major league plate appearances in his career, and yet has just 24 stolen bases despite all of that speed because he gets on base just 33 percent of the time.
Rob Leibowitz purchased Chris Valaika ($0) and Ryan Vogelsong ($10): Vogelsong in the interesting one here in a year where teams are going back to 2004 cheat sheets looking for talent. Last we saw Vogelsong healthy, it was in 2006 wearing a Pirates uniform when he posted a 6.39 ERA. Fast-forward to 2011, where he struck out 17 batters while walking five in just over 11 Triple-A innings. In three games with the Giants, has struck out 11 batters in just over ten innings. This season continues to amaze me, as reclamation projects keep working out.
Scott Pianowski purchased Daniel Descalso ($10): Scott is one point off the lead right now, but he lost Mark DeRosa and needed a replacement for him since Bloomquist is also out injured.
Tristan Cockcroft purchased Wes Helms ($0): Tristan lost Matt Young's services and found something on the waiver wire that had a few at bats. Helms has three extra base hits in 28 plate appearances against seven strikeouts.
Chris Liss purchased Vance Worley ($10) and Steven Pearce ($4): Worley was covered earlier; he is a safer play in NL leagues and Liss's team needs strikeouts, as he is tied for fifth worst in that category .
Nate Ravitz purchased Armando Galarraga ($0), Marco Estrada ($0), Mike Dunn ($0), Brian Sanches ($2), Dioner Navarro ($0): Estrada has but 52 innings of work in the majors but has 50 strikeouts and only 21 walks. The problem for him has been the long ball, as he has given 11 of them already in his career (including three this season in 21 innings of work). I am fond of the Dunn acquisition as I like him for saves potential if he ever cuts down on his walks. His walk rate is once again sky high this season, but he also has 41 strikeouts in his last 29 innings of work.
Phil Hertz purchased Alfredo Amezaga ($1): Phil continues to search for a viable replacement for Logan Morrison while he is out with an injury. The search will go on.
Cory Schwartz purchased Ernesto Frieri ($0): Frieri would be a bigger deal on another team but he is buried behind the three amigos at the back end of the Padres pen. Frieri is a flyball machine that fits nicely in Petco, and, when he is not giving up fly balls, he is striking out batters while being very stingy with the walks.
Ron Shandler purchased Rich Thompson ($0): The strikeouts have always been there for Thompson, who features a nasty curve, but when he hangs the bender he pays for it, as he has given up 14 home runs in just 62 innings pitched. He has 17 strikeouts in just over 14 innings of work, and could end up in a setup role if Fernando Rodney continues with his struggles.
Jeff Erickson purchased David Cooper ($12): Jeff was replacing Jason Repko and took a stab at Cooper. Cooper was crushing the ball in Las Vegas with a .395/.438/.617 line in 89 plate appearances, Vegas is quite the hitting environment. In a more neutral Double-A environment, he hit .257/.327/.442 with strong walk and strikeout rates.
Lawr Michaels purchased Rene Tosconi ($9) and Alexi Amarista ($10): The Angels seem to have middle infielders like Amarista all over their organization, and they rewarded his hot start in Triple-A with a promotion. He looked rather over-matched this weekend against David Price and James Shields, particularly against their off-speed stuff. It will be interesting to watch him against lesser pitchers. Tosconi has a job with Delmon Young out, but the more playing time he gets, the worse it will be for you right now.
Jason Grey purchased Danny Duffy ($4): Last week, we saw Ron Shandler make this kind of future play and scout/prospect guru Grey goes out and gets one of the next young arms coming up for the Royals. Duffy has made four starts in Omaha and has allowed just 14 hits while walking four batters and striking out 24 in 20 innings pitched. Stud.
Dean Peterson purchased Matt Tolbert ($0): Dean grew tired of Cesar Izturis, and is giving Tolbert a shot to do something for him. I see this as rearranging the chairs on the Titanic: the best thing I can say about both is that they get some playing time.

Aaron Rodgers has a cannon for an arm, scary good field vision, a mastery of the Green Bay Packers' offensive system, and a girlfriend (Olivia Munn) I would definitely not throw out of bed for eating crackers.
He's also pretty much a lock to win his second MVP award this season. He's led the Packers to a 12-4 record and first place in the NFC Northern Division by way of 38 touchdowns to just five interceptions (none of which occurred at Lambeau Field).
If all this wasn't enough, he's apparently a funny dude—the clown of the locker room whose humor tends to skew a little bit obscure.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Rodgers employees a layered and dry comic approach that often confuses teammates. They often don't know whether he is joking or not.
"He does make jokes that fall on deaf ears, says fullback John Kuhn. "But that's what happens when you make a lot of jokes."
But Rodgers' jokes also serve to keep his team calm and relaxed.
"His demeanor has an effect on us," says offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga. "There's never any panic in this locker room. Everything about him says, 'Take a breather; we are going to be all right.'"
Here's a collection of some of Rodgers' material:
He often quotes "The Princess Bride" at random times. His favorite line: "Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Morons."
During pregame walk-throughs, Rodgers stares at players with an angry look until the player expresses concern, at which point Rodgers starts to laugh.
Last week during a team meeting, Rodgers queued up a picture of John F. Kennedy and asked rookie center Corey Linsley to identify him. Linsley did as he was told, and then Rodgers asked, "What's his middle name?" "I don't know," Linsley said. "Frederick?" (It's Fitzgerald.)
In between breakdowns of offensive plays during mid-week meetings, Rodgers awards a "Man of the Week" award in which he hits up Google Images for ridiculous photos of teammates.
Every Saturday, Rodgers gets 10 to 15 minutes to do "whatever he wants." According to Bulaga, this means that Rodgers focuses on football and addressing the entire offense on what needs to be done in the forthcoming game—at least initially. He often does random, weird things with some of that time. For example, earlier this season, Rodgers randomly began to show "great commercials of the year." He showed a few, and then showed a local commercial for cell phones featuring Bulaga and Packers coach Mike McCarthy. (I wonder if he showed any of his State Farm spots.)
Rodgers will occasionally throw for a big play, and then calmly ask an opponent how his collegiate alma mater is doing as he strolls past him down the field.

Cambridge Friends School/Meetings/2009-03-14
From OLPC
What happened this week
Please add any notes you have about the CFS pilot from this week here, including relevant links when possible.
- Wednesday, March 11, 2009 - the Olin repair center received fresh parts stock to prepare for (among other things) the possibility of a first wave of CFS repair requests.
- Friday, March 13, 2009 - Colin ran the first Gurufest at Olin College with Mel as the guest; a productive work sprint session ensued (largely non-CFS-specific work, with the exception of testing and configuration on the XS that will be deployed at CFS).
What's happening next week
Monday, March 16, 2009 - Katelyn, MacKenzie, Mel, and Jeff will be at CFS reflashing the XOs with the final build and Activities the students will be using when they first receive their laptops on Wednesday. We may not be able to utilize more volunteers for this setup (after a point, it becomes less efficient to have more people), but will edit this page if that situation changes.
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 - Apparently not deployment day. However, Elsa, Rick, and Mel did some work at the MIT Stata Center...
- Instructions and files for replicating the CFS XO build setup are up at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Cambridge_Friends_School/Tech#Testing - thanks to Yifan for the original writeup and the IMSA students for making the customization stick! You can now try out the exact Activity selection that the 6th graders will be using in class.
- Setting up and sending usage instructions for a project management tool (well, the instructions are coming, anyway).
- new deployment volunteer orientation, round N (Rick to write this up and send to the list so we can replicate SOP more easily next time)
- customization key howto
- Rick wisely pointed out that since we're structured for an 100% part time volunteer deployment effort, we should figure on spending 25%-50% of our 'work' time in training - and that's ok, even good!
- Mel is coming down with RSI, so Elsa graciously offered to do follow up on...
- Monthly teacher meetings from the Cosi's meetup
- New uni groups and how to work with each other
- Questions for the CFS loop team (like "when is deployment?")
- Updating the teams on Boston pilots and getting contact info on each
Upcoming dates
Friday, March 27, 2009 - Elsa is coordinating an "intro to sugar-core hacking" session for people who want to get a development environment set up and get their feet wet in sugar-core development by fixing a bug. Basic python programming knowledge necessary, some pre-session homework. More details coming, help welcomed, especially from experienced Sugar developers. (Mchua is guessing this will be held on Olin's campus in Needham MA.)
Support teams status
If you're part of a group doing CFS-deployment-relevant activities, please create a section and post what you're up to!
- CFS's server is ready to deploy - the XS team just needs a date to come and do it. See #Questions.
- Ejabberd (which, among other things, lets non-XO laptops running Sugar collaborate with XOs on Activities) is working thanks to the efforts of Xy and Yifan, but has not yet been tested to our satisfaction.
- Moodle (a course materials management system) is working thanks to the efforts of Xy and Yifan, and has been thoroughly tested by Jeff and Monje.
- Sandra and her team are ready to go, but needs a first visit date and teacher contact information; see #Questions.
- Xy and his team have just received fresh parts stock and are ready to handle any type of XO repair that might come up.
- We need to figure out how broken laptops will be delivered to Olin for repair and then back to CFS.
- Xy and Jeff would like to train interested CFS middle school students on how to update software and repair their own laptops so that CFS has its own first line of defense against broken XOs.
- Members of the Development support team have had several rounds of experience designing, developing, and deploying custom-made Activities, and are ready to take requests.
Questions for the loop team
Add questions that you have about the deployment here!
- NEW - from Mchua 06:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC) When is deployment day, and what are the prerequisites for it to happen?
- What's happening on deployment day?
- Have the teachers agreed with - and helped to design - the "kids get laptops" event?
- Have the parents been informed?
- How will the students be told about the laptops and the responsibilities they will have by being part of this deployment?
- Are volunteers welcome to come observe and/or help out? This is the moment we've been waiting and working towards, too!
- What are good dates/times for the XS team to come set up the server at CFS?
- What are good dates/times for the XS team to come and work with teachers on how they can use the server (if they choose to)?
- When is a good weekly day/time (or days/times) that the Curriculum team can come to serve as in-classroom technology specialists?
- What are the deployment's upcoming needs (particularly during next week when you'll be away)?
Help needed
Posts things you need help with - make sure to leave your contact info. To take a task, email firstname.lastname@example.com with which thing you're interested in helping out with.
- XS team needs networking details about the current CFS setup - what kind of system is the XS going to be placed behind? Need someone networking-savvy to meet with the CFS IT person and ask questions on our behalf. Contact Xy.
- Development team's sugar-core development sprint project needs experienced sugar-core hackers to (asynchronously, remotely) identify good easy first tickets for newbies before the 27th, and to be on IRC or at the event during the sprint time. See #Upcoming dates, contact Elsa.
