Mathematics Requirements
All students are required to satisfy proficiency in mathematics as well as complete a math course for Core Curriculum. Though you may opt not to enroll in a math course your first semester, you are asked to read the following thoroughly as it includes information valuable for your entire four years at CSB/SJU.
The Mathematics Proficiency Requirement
Proficiency in mathematics and placement in mathematics courses will depend on your performance in your high school mathematics courses and MATH ACT entrance test scores. If you are not granted proficiency at the time of registration, you may be placed in a 1 credit module of math with the intent of strengthening your math skills, depending on your math scores, grades, and noted area of interest. You will have opportunities when you come to campus in the fall to prepare for and take a proficiency exam at the Mathematics Skills Center. Once you have passed the proficiency requirement, you will be eligible to enroll in mathematics courses. A practice exam can be found at the Math Skills Center Web site.
The Core Mathematics Requirement
The Mathematics Department offers a variety of mathematics courses which fulfill the Core Mathematics Requirement. All 100-level mathematics courses assume students have successfully completed at least three years of college preparatory mathematics, including two years of algebra. Our calculus courses assume four years of college preparatory mathematics.
If you need some review of mathematics in order to prepare to pass the math proficiency requirement, or to prepare for a Core math class, or brush up on math skills in preparation for other courses, the following Academic Skills Course is available: (Note: This course is for preparation only; it does not satisfy a proficiency or Core requirement.)
Math 111 Preparation for College Math, Level 1 (2 credits)
A review of basic mathematics, including arithmetic skills, beginning algebra, and geometry. Emphasis will be placed on awareness and acquisition of problem-solving techniques. This course is designed for students who need to review to prepare for the math proficiency exam, but is also appropriate for others who would like to brush up on their math preparation for upcoming classes.
Note for Pre-Med Students
Medical schools have traditionally required one to two semesters of Calculus. Recently, some medical schools have started to replace this requirement with a semester of statistics. Calculus is still needed for some science majors. If you are considering medical school, please plan to consult with the pre-medicine adviser, or to review the pre-med homepage.
Because calculus is required for many majors and it is generally needed early on, taking calculus in your first semester is an important option for you to consider. If you are not sure whether your math skills are strong enough for you to succeed in calculus, you can find out by taking our Calculus Readiness Exam at the Mathematics Skills Center.
If you do need to improve your math skills before you take calculus, you can get help at the Mathematics Skills Center or take our Precalculus course. (Note: this Precalculus class does not fulfill the Core Mathematics Requirement.)
If you took Calculus I in high school but did not receive AP credit for it, you can still register for Calculus II if your Calculus I background is strong enough. You are encouraged to discuss this possibility with a member of the mathematics department. If you do begin with Calculus II and you earn a grade of C or better in the course, the mathematics department will grant you credit at that time for Calculus I.
The mathematics department offers concentrations in mathematics and mathematics/secondary education; it also offers a major in numerical computation jointly with the computer science department. Information about the numerical computation major is in a separate section for that major.
Special Requirements:
Students anticipating a major in mathematics and/or the natural sciences ordinarily begin their study of mathematics with 119. However, a student needing further preparation before beginning calculus, either 118 or 119, should enroll in 115. Students interested in advanced placement should contact the department chair.
Admission to the major requires a grade of C or higher in MATH 119, 120 and MATH 239 or 241.
Before admission to the major (ordinarily in the sophomore year), prospective majors must consult with their advisors in the mathematics department to plan their mathematics courses. Students should choose their courses and non-curricular activities with regard to their goals for careers and graduate school. Students should be aware of which semesters upper-division mathematics courses will be offered.
For students who entered SJU/CSB in Fall 2007 or later, Math 395, the Capstone, is also required. This is a 2 credit course which will be offered in both fall and spring semesters, beginning in Fall 2010.
Senior majors are required to take a comprehensive exam in mathematics (the Major Field Test).
Prospective majors should have familiarity with computer programming before taking upper-division mathematics courses. Students preparing for graduate school in mathematics should include 332 and 344 or 348.
Concentration in Mathematics (40--42 credits)
Required Courses (here is a sample 4-year plan):
119, 120, 239, 241, 331, 343, 395 (Capstone) plus 16 addition upper-division credits in mathematics.
Concentration in Mathematics/Secondary Education (40--42 credits)
Required Courses:
Same as concentration in mathematics, but includes 333, 345.
At least 1 credit in 105-108 or 300-303 (History of Mathematics) is also recommended. Check with the chairs of the education department and the mathematics department for requirements for certification by the Minnesota Department of Education. See the education department listing for minor requirements.
Minor (24 credits)
Required Courses:
119, 120, 239; plus either 12 additional upper-division credits in mathematics, or 241 plus 8 additional upper-division credits in mathematics.

Officials say the FBI investigation into David Petraeus was triggered by a complaint from a family friend into emails sent by his biographer Paula Broadwell. NBC's Andrea Mitchell reports.
After investigating a potential case of "cyber-harassment" for several months, the FBI wrapped up its case after interviewing Paula Broadwell -- the biographer of former CIA director David Petraeus -- on Friday, Nov. 2, four days before the presidential election, a senior U.S. law enforcement official told NBC News.
It was the second time that FBI agents had questioned Broadwell in the probe and during both interviews she acknowledged having had an affair with Petraeus, the official said. Petraeus himself had been questioned a few days earlier and also acknowledged the affair, the first official said.
The dual interviews the week of Oct. 29 -- among the last to be conducted by the FBI in the case -- allowed the FBI to formally conclude there was no basis for criminal charges in the matter. This explains why the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper wasn't told about the probe until the following Tuesday, Nov. 6, election day, the official said.
The official offered new details about the FBI investigation -- and a more precise timeline of key events-- in order to rebut suggestions that senior law enforcement officials held back key information about the Petraeus matter until after the election.
The FBI and Justice Department's decisions on the case were not governed by the political calendar, the official asserted. Nor, the official said, were they influenced by a phone call from House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's office to the FBI on Oct. 31 asserting that it had heard from a FBI whistleblower who raised concerns that the Petraeus matter was being covered up or not being taken seriously.
Lawmakers question timing of Petraeus resignation
"I was contacted by an FBI employee concerned that sensitive, classified information may have been compromised and made certain (FBI Director Robert) Mueller was aware of these serious allegations and the potential risk to our national security," Cantor said in a statement.
According to reporting by NBC's chief justice correspondent Pete Williams, a senior law enforcement official said a call to a congressional staffer came from an agent who was initially involved in the investigation but who was later removed from the case because he knew an associate of one of the people being investigated. The agent knew someone on the Hill and called that person, a Republican staffer, according to the official. But that phone call had no effect on either the course of the investigation, the involvement of Mueller -- who was following it closely long before Cantor called him -- or the decision to notify Clapper, the official says.
"This had nothing to do with the election," the official said. Moreover the official added, Cantor's office was told that the case was being actively investigated by the FBI when it raised the matter on Oct. 31, and so it would have been wrong for the FBI or Justice Department to inform higher level officials in the administration about the probe earlier -- because they were unsure at that point what they were dealing with. In the end, according to multiple officials, investigators determined there was no criminal wrongdoing.
The woman who complained of being harassed by Paula Broadwell, General David Petraeus' biographer, has been identified as Jill Kelley, 37, a senior official tells NBC News. NBC's Kristen Welker reports.
According to the senior official, the investigation began several months ago when a woman reported to the FBI she had received anonymous-- and harassing -- emails from a person she didn't know. Multiple government officials tell NBC News that the woman was Jill Kelley, who lives in Tampa, Florida. Kelley and her husband, officials say, are close friends of the Petraeus family. Kelley was a volunteer social liaison to the MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa.
The FBI viewed the matter as a potential case of "cyber-harassment" and it was handled "regionally" with federal prosecutors working with the FBI on the matter, the official said. At first, neither Kelley nor the FBI knew who was sending the harassing emails-- because they came from accounts that were not immediately identifiable. But the FBI was eventually able to determine they came from Broadwell and then obtained access to her regular email account. It was only then that the FBI discovered, through her email exchanges with Petraeus, an apparent relationship between the two of them, the official said.
The FBI continued investigating the matter and was close to wrapping up the case late in October, the official said. Agents finally interviewed Petraeus the week of Oct. 29 and then re-interviewed Broadwell, allowing them to complete their investigation, according to multiple officials. It was only at that point that the decision was made to pass along information about the case to Clapper, the senior law enforcement official said, setting in motion the chain of events that led to Petraeus' resignation.

Passerby blocks traffic to protect injured man in Lincoln-Lemington
Unidentified man found lying in middle of Paulson Avenue overnight
An injured man was found lying in the middle of a street in Pittsburgh's Lincoln-Lemington neighborhood overnight.
The incident was reported around 1:15 a.m. Thursday on Paulson Avenue, near Apple Street.
Donald Mitchell Sr. said he was driving by when he saw the man in the road, so he used his vehicle to stop traffic until emergency responders could arrive.
"I pulled my car over and blocked the intersection so nobody would be flying down here to make any more problems or get this young man hurt worse than he is," Mitchell said. "I don't know what happened, but I was on my way home and I wanted to make sure this young man was cared for, so I called it in, and a young neighbor up the street called it in, so I just do my job. That's all I can do."
SLIDESHOW: Photos from the scene
Allegheny County 911 dispatchers said it's not clear if the man was struck by a car or fell from one.
The man was placed on a stretcher and taken away in an ambulance. His name and condition are not known.
Pittsburgh police are investigating.

Believe it or not, it wasn't that difficult. The hardest part was getting hold of the proper tool to gain access to the fuel cell. It's a large screw on cap on top of the fuel cell, under the battery tray. I borrowed one from a mechanic friend (the guy I went to see to have the fuel tank drained)... it was a standard tool used to gain access to fuel cells. I just googled it, so see:
Anyway, I only add the bit about the tool, because Pellican parts has a good article on the job (http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarti...-Fuel_Pump.htm), but says something about using a screwdriver or something to open it up. It's PLASTIC, and has been exposed to fuel. NO WAY! I used the correct tool, and it worked great without breaking the stinkin' thing. But I digress. I bought the fuel pump from a local Porsche dealer as I was in a hurry... car taken apart in the garage, and me not driving it always makes me impatient. Haha. Could have bought it way cheaper through Sunsetimports.com. The new pump came with a new gasket for the plastic cap that I talked about above. Total cost for the job (since I did the work) was $430 for the pump. Again, could have gotten the pump WAY cheaper... I can't stress this enough.
My final word on this... you have to have the fuel level at least at 3/4th drained, and you'll still get your hands in gas. Since mine wouldn't even drain below 3/4th as I previously mentioned, I had no choice but to glove up, and get gassy. Easy way to drain the fuel cell (if you have a large enough collection tank), as my buddy showed me, is to tap into the fuel line in the engine bay, and use a relay on the fuel pump above the fuse box to get the pump running non stop. He just ran a hose from the fuel line in the engine bay into a 5 gallon gas can. Jumped the relay. Turned on the ignition. Drained as far as it could go. Put everything back to normal, and then got into the fuel cell. Total time for job (and I'm not a mechanic at all) was about 3 hours to include draining the gas and putting everything else back together. Well worth it... I can now drive below 1/4th tank without the engine dying on me. Someone else commented on the calibration of the fuel gague... It's spot on!
Thanks everyone for your patience. I was a crab about this, and I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. Have a good one everyone!

Any Feedback on the resolution?
I have an 01 Boxster with the same issue, once the gas tank goes under 3/4 of a tank it starts to behave badly. Once I put more gas in then it runs like a top. Not sure if the valve is bad, fuel pump, pickup, etc. Any help is appreciated..

Appologies, the fuel pump did not show up initially when I read the post.
Thank you for the detailed post, looks like I will be following your path to change it out.

SCOTT PETERSON - Friday, October 18, 2013
On opposite ends of the Tippeligaen standings, Mikkel Diskerud and Steve Clark enter this weekend's action needing points.
Start IF - Rosenborg Trondheim
In need of three points in the title race, Mikkel Diskerud and Rosenborg travel to Start on Saturday.
Over the past four matches, Rosenborg has dropped seven points, which has allowed Strømsgodset to take the top spot in the Tippeligaen on goal differential. Considering Strømgodset holds a 13-goal advantage in the goal differential, the Troll Kids need as many lop-sided wins as they can get.
Getting such a win against Start won't be an easy task, however. Start is riding a six-match unbeaten streak that included a four-match winning streak and has the fifth-highest goal total in the league, which should give the Tippeligaen's best defense some troubles.
Fredrik Midtsjø and Per Verner Rønning will miss the match for Rosenborg, as they both suffered season-ending injuries. Start is not reporting any injuries.
Hønefoss BK - Molde FK
Steve Clark and Hønefoss continue their fight for survival when they host Molde on Sunday.
Clark and Hønefoss have spent the majority of the season in the Tippeligaen's cellar, but Hønefoss has climbed into 15th place and is tied on points with Tromsø in the relegation playoff spot following a six-match span, in which the team has recorded nine points. With four matches to go, Hønefoss still has a chance.
Two-time defending champion Molde has skyrocketed up the standings after its slow start, with the team sitting in fifth place going into the weekend. Sitting 15 points behind the league leaders, Molde won't have a chance to get the three-peat, but it still can jump into third place and a European place before season's end.
Hønefoss will be without Helge Haugen and leading goal-scorer Riku Riski with yellow card suspensions, while Molde will not have goalkeeper Espen Bugge Pettersen, Agnaldo and American winger Josh Gatt available because of long-term injuries.

You may not have been aware, but it's "Welcoming Week" here in the U.S. — events are being held in 22 states bringing together immigrants and people born in this country.
The White House also honored 10 community leaders from across the nation Thursday who work to integrate immigrants into their cities and towns. The week's festivities are part of an on-going effort to make immigrants feel, well, more welcome.
It's a concept that's embraced in tiny Wilder, Idaho — a farming community in southwest Idaho, population 1,533.
Mayor John Bechtel arrived in Wilder in 1958. Sitting outside City Hall, you get a view of the town's two restaurants.
"We have Rosa's across the street here, and we have Alenjandra's just down the street here. Both good little restaurants," said Bechtel, admiring his town, which also has a relatively new elementary and high school.
Bechtel has seen the demographics of his town change. Today, it's perhaps more than 70 percent Hispanic, a mix of documented and undocumented. Bechtel — who is bald, white, and in his 70s — wears a Cuban-style guayabera shirt and avoids formal titles.
"(I) started introducing myself to new Hispanic families as Juan Pelón, John Bald. It'd get a serious look, then they would laugh, the ice is broken, you're friends," he said.
Bechtel and the city council also officially declared Wilder a welcoming town in 2009, one of two Idaho cities, along with Rupert, to make this official pledge.
The declaration came in the form of a one-page resolution, Bechtel reads aloud.
"These residents, composed of native Idahoans from all backgrounds and a large Hispanic community, contribute to the shared responsibility of welcoming new community members who have traveled thousands of miles to resettle with their families in the United States," it says.
The resolution goes on to criticize the U.S. Congress for its failure "to enact responsible, sensible, and humane immigration reform."
Bechtel said he knows it's just a piece of paper, and that most people here probably don't even know it exists. Still, Leo Morales, with the ACLU of Idaho, who also grew up in Wilder, said it's not an empty gesture.
"I like to believe that it's more than symbolism, that it carries a lot intent," Morales said. "It's the city leaders saying, 'Look, this issue is so important to us that we're going to draft a resolution that we want to have more positive dialogues and conversations so that we create successful communities.'"
Morales, a U.S. citizen originally from Mexico, pushed that dialogue when he ran the group "Welcoming Idaho," an affiliate within a national, non-profit called "Welcoming America." It's goal is to get past the media chatter — the polarizing immigration debate — and have U.S.-born people meet new arrivals, including refugees, as neighbors.
The chapters do this through events like roundtables and potlucks. The Welcoming Idaho campaign also put up signs and billboards with photos of brown-skinned people and simple messages such as: "Immigration is an American Experience, Acceptance is an American value."
Morales said reactions to the billboards were mixed.
"Some individuals really liked the very positive messages. Others thought, this is just about illegal immigration, and we don't like it," he recalled.
This divide persists in Idaho, and many parts of the country. A majority of Republicans in Congress, certainly in the House, maintain that undocumented immigrants are lawbreakers who shouldn't be rewarded with a path to citizenship. Case closed.
Community organizer Krista Bustamante in Boise, who advocates for a pathway to citizenship, heard from the opposition at a recent town hall in Meridian, Idaho.
"People coming with shirts that said, 'Illegals Go Home' or 'Send Everyone Back.' There was some heckling, there was some clapping in people's faces trying to get a reaction out of our side," Bustamante said.
Bustamante said she left feeling disillusioned, but also determined to keep the conversation going.
"We are a very red, Republican state and I understand that," she said. "That's why organizing the community is so much more important, because there is a need, and there are people who want immigration reform, even though they may not be as vocal."
Bustamante, who is of Mexican descent and was born and raised in Idaho, stressed that Idaho is a welcoming place for immigrants. She points to the capital, Boise, where city officials have successfully worked with community organizers to integrate refugees and other immigrants into the fabric and economy of the city. Jan Reeves, director of the Idaho Office for Refugees in Boise was one of 10 people honored Thursday by the White House.
Still, Bustamante would like Boise to go a step further and follow the lead of tiny Wilder — officially declare itself a welcoming place.
Boise City Council President Maryanne Jordan wasn't opposed to the idea, but said that the city simply hadn't felt the need to formally declare itself a welcoming community.
"You can see that the effort is there. Rather than making a huge event out of giving it a name and a formal resolution, we just try to walk the walk," said Jordan. "Being a welcoming city is kind of in Boise's DNA."
Perhaps, but Wilder mayor Bechtel still supports the idea of other cities formally declaring this.
"I would hope that every town in the country would. And I think that if people got to know each other that we could solve the immigration problem," he said.
That might be a naïve pipe dream. But Bechtel knows what he's seen.
"We've got a good community, I feel that we all work together good. I'm just happy living here. I would not want to live anyplace else," he said.

This is not intended to be a complete programming introduction, it was meant to help people solve a problem they might have. As for the preceding "./" I did not want to be confusing people this early in the game ( "./" and "/" would look a bit too similar to me, at a glance, if I were a beginner). I had to be obvious because I wanted to be as concise as possible, as it was long-winded enough.
True enough
Honestly, I do not have a single problem with using ls in a command substitution. In fact, I have more problem with the inclusion of spaces and newlines in filenames, as, I feel, that is more against naming convention. When it comes to naming files, I like to treat spaces and newlines as illegal characters myself. Instead I use CamelNotation and dashes.
The reason not to use "ls" is because it wont have "inclusion of spaces and newlines in filenames". Also it looks more simple without the ls.
The quotes are necessary for inclusion of newlines/tabs/spaces.
So in order for the script to adapt to the filename and not the other way, it is better to have quote and not use ls.

I did not know you could leave the ls command out of the for loop and achieve the same result (I just checked that out and was surprised). Nice shortcut there, thanks.
With my Roxapp example, the script only deals with files that are essential to the program itself. Data files are handled from within the program. The script only sets up the program temporarily and cleans itself up when you are done using it.
As for quoted variables, they have always looked wrong to me... probably because of my earlier experiences, but it is nice to know that quoting a variable allows it to handle data containing spaces. I was wondering how to go about doing that. I don't like putting spaces in filenames and I know many coders don't either, but I guess I have to know how to deal with them if I'm going to code.
some of the biggest commands I have trouble with are grep, sed, and awk. I also have trouble with regular expressions (or at least, complex ones.... kinda like Algebra
). That's when it really starts to get confusing to me. I try to avoid those wherever I can.
@rj: I placed this in beginners because I wanted to let people know that, yes, even a beginner can learn to use the CLI. I'm sure there are beginners who are interested in this kind of stuff but may not be quite ready to leave the beginner's circle yet. This can ease them into a more advanced area.

For files it is important to use double quotes
but try this
while true; do ps | grep X | grep -v 'grep'; S="/bin/sleep 0.2"; "$S" ;done
and this
while true; do ps | grep X | grep -v 'grep'; S="/bin/sleep 0.2"; $S ;done
Things might work differently on "ash and bash" and "rxvt and urxvt" .

Why use the command line.
In the beginning was the command line. I couldn't build or setup a
computer without using the command line. Today, maybe I could, but
I've not tried it.
The primary reason I use it so extensively today is because it is so much
faster and easier than the GUI in many cases.
In and of itself, I don't think the command line would be faster,
except for the aliases and scripts we make.
Additionally, when the computer doesn't work right, there often isn't a
GUI application to do the troubleshooting and repair. The power user
knows what command line tools are available and how to use them.
Presently, as I write this text, I'm converting .wav files to .mp3 files in
large batch. There is probably a GUI tool to do this. Even if there is, it
won't provide me with the level of control I can get with my own script.
I might have almost one terabyte of data on my computer. Because of
scripts I've written, I can find files much faster than the computer can
search itself with any GUI tool I know of.

When you start writing your own scripts, you are literally programming.
There are some things you need to know about, things which may seem
I wish to introduce you to one.
A Shell is an interface to the operating system. We call Bash a shell. But
the GUI is also a shell.
When X is running we run Bash in an emulator. Rxvt, Urxvt, or others.
When we run a script it does NOT run in the same shell we started it in.
It runs in a child or secondary shell and when done with the commands,
returns us to the first shell.
Here is a very simple script that won't seem to work.
Please try it
cd /
After you've made it executable, run it. When finished you will still be in
the same directory you ran it in, even though the command is to cd to /
What happened is it actually did cd to / in the child shell, then when
done, left us where we started.
Next take the same script and use this command:
. r
Notice that it changed to the root directory like it was supposed to.
causes the command to run in the current shell, that's why it works.
is a shortcut of sorts for
source r
should achieve the same results

for i in *.deb
undeb "$i" #It is a good habit to quote variables.
# It is a good habit to quote filenames. $i would have a filename. It is
especially a good habit if one
the script.
# The shift in a for loop either shouldn't be there or I don't
understand something.
A filename might contain a space. Without the quotes, it would throw the
script off, because the first space it encounters would be interpreted as a
command delimiter.
Unix people never put spaces in directory or filenames. To do so is stupid.
Windows came up with a hacked LFN and I noticed Gates was so proud
he overcome his 8.3 limits he started putting spaces in directory names.
Windows users started using spaces in directory and filenames to make
them more readable.
Then when they moved to Linux, they brought their fears and computing
habits with them.
Yet, if we look at real programmers, programmers I respect anyway, they
don't use spaces. Check out the system32 directory in Windows for
examples of how people who know what they do name files.
I don't use spaces in file names, so for my own scripts, I wouldn't quote
because I want to see the error message and fix the file.
There are certain characters I don't want in my filenames or at a
minimum I want to know if they exist. For this reason I wrote a script to
check files for characters I don't want.
for i in *
echo $i | grep " "
echo $i | grep __
echo $i | grep \'
echo $i | grep "?"
echo $i | grep "("
echo $i | grep ")"
echo $i | grep "&"
echo $i | grep ","
echo $i | grep "!"
The script could be written for much better speed.
Some of these characters are for appearance. But some of these
characters can wreak havoc with our scripts.
Frankly, I think the programmer, especially the beginning programmer,
will discover she's spending most of her time debugging her scripts.
Some of these hard ones to figure is because Windows users make
filenames using characters bash stumbles on if not properly escaped.

Below is a basic order of precedence in which bash finds commands
1st = alias
2nd = function
3rd = internal command
4th = external command
To see the aliases
# alias
To see the functions
# set
(then look for the functions)
To see internal commands
# help
To see external commands
# tab (then answer) y
Knowing how bash finds the commands can be helpful if you want to use
a specific command with a redundant name. For example, maybe
is an internal command and an external command.
The internal command will run unless you specify the external
command, which might be stated like as below in your script.
If the command is not found in an alias, function, or internally; bash will
search the PATH for the command.
It will use the PATH statement from left to right.
To see the path statement
echo $PATH

Another useful command is "mkdir -p"
mkdir= Make directory
-p = Make the parent file if it doesn't exist.
So, i want to make a directory /mnt/sda1/lupu52/backup/2010
mkdir -p /mnt/sda1/lupu52/backup/2010
Instead of making a dir, enter it, make another dir, enter it.
Also, if you keep making some minor typo when doing "cd"
shopt -s cdspell
This will auto correct some of your mistakes while doing "cd"
Also, i dunno what the "shift" is for. It is redundant
I just thought that i will copy it over...

Who are you talking to?
You stuck this piece in the middle of some posts I made. I wonder if it
was meant for me. If not, say who you intended it for.
None are going to be programmers without some basic theory. Which is
what I've been presenting. I have plans to move to other areas. But I'm
not there yet.
I'm presuming basic computer skills, knowledge of basic acronyms and a
reading level of an eighth grader.
If you think I went over an eighth grade level, please copy and paste the

If someone else moved at a faster gradient than he should have, copy

I find this thread useful, I didn't know the "help" command exist - I keep referring to the bash reference manual when I need to know how a certain internal command works.

I have this connection to deer, they have come into my life at different times. In Indian medicine the Deer represent gentleness, they are here to teach us to touch the hearts and minds of wounded beings who are in our way. Sheds are the antler's that naturally fall off of deer. I collect them and love that I pair together steel and horn, to create this wonderful lamp.
I have a fabulous person who comes into my studio every Saturday and straightens out my workshop, she said "Susan, it is Father's day soon, get this wired, make a shade and take a picture of it", so I did.
Here is a perfect grouping for the Dad in your life. Hope you enjoy looking, I enjoyed making it. I have put it together with matches and a tissue box cover all to honor the Deer.
If you are in the area stop by and see it or visit my online store.

Caution: The documentation you are viewing is
for an older version of Zend Framework.
You can find the documentation of the current version at:
Introduction - Getting Started with Zend_Layout
When building a website using Zend Framework MVC layers, your view scripts will typically be just snippets of HTML pertinent to the requested action. For instance, if you had the action "/user/list", you might create a view script that iterates through the users and presents an unordered list:
Since this is just a snippet of HTML, it's not a valid page; it's missing a DOCTYPE declaration, and the opening HTML and BODY tags. So, the question is, where will these be created?
In early versions of Zend Framework, developers often created "header" and "footer" view scripts that had these artifacts, and then in each view script they would render them. While this methodology worked, it also made it difficult to refactor later, or to build composite content by calling multiple actions.
The » Two Step View design pattern answers many of the issues presented. In this pattern, the "application" view is created first, and then injected into the "page" view, which is then presented to the client. The page view can be thought of as your site-wide template or layout, and would have common elements used across various pages.
Within Zend Framework, Zend_Layout implements the Two Step View pattern.

Experiencing versatility.
Maximizing performance.
The VisuNet GXP designed for Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22
The VisuNet GXP remote monitors are equipped with the latest generation firmware VisuNet RM Shell 5. It provides easy access and control of process control systems in explosion hazardous areas by using standard Ethernet networking technology. The most recent update supports the latest remote protocol versions, such as RDP 10, VNC, NetC@P, and Citrix.
Secure and Reliable
RM Shell 5 uses Microsoft® WindowsTM 10 IoT Enterprise as the operating system. With the Long-term Servicing Branch (LTSB), the new Windows version provides a long-term availability of security updates, ensuring system security at all times. The security functions of the RM Shell, like a password-protected access and the definition of user roles, additionally enhance security.
Innovative Centralized Management
In combination with the innovative software VisuNet Control Center, RM Shell 5 is an efficient solution for a future-oriented remote management of VisuNet remote monitors and thin clients. With the centralized management functions, users are able to remotely configure, maintain, and monitor their remote monitor or thin client installation. A walk back to the plant to configure remote HMI units is no longer necessary for administrators—they can do everything from one central point.
The VisuNet GXP PC version is a new component added to the VisuNet portfolio. It is equipped with an Intel® Quad Core processor and an open Microsoft® Windows operating system which offers improved computing power and software flexibility. With this, users are able to install individual software packages in order to visualize applications in industrial and hazardous areas.
Various Interfaces
With a variety of available interfaces, the GXP computer unit can be connected directly to a control system or other peripheral devices. Whether RS232, RS485 or Ethernet – users can choose the appropriate interface for their application, ensuring communication at all times. Additionally, the optional fiber optic interfaces enables reliable connection even over longer distances. A great benefit of the fiber optic interface is that it can be connected to standard IT fiber optic switches that are not rated as "optically intrinsically safe" (Ex op is), even from Zone 1/21.
The 21.5" (55 cm) display comes with a Full HD resolution (1920x1080), so it complies to the common widescreen format, guaranteeing compatibility to the aspect ratio and resolution of process images that are designed for modern widescreen operator workstations. Hardened protection glass protects the multi-touch sensor, which allows a touch-optimized user interface, even for use while wearing gloves. The robust and scratch resistant safety glass without any gaps is easily cleaned and perfectly meets the high demands for Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/22.
The newest display unit of the VisuNet GXP family comes in a compact housing and is available as a 19" (48 cm) version with a 5:4 format. It not only offers a space-saving design, but is also compatible with its predecessor product line, the VisuNet EX1. This means that users can retrofit existing installations easily via a drop in replacement, and are even able to continue using existing keyboards or barcode readers. Just like the larger 21,5" version of the display unit, the 19" model is equipped with a capacitive multi touch sensor which allows touch-optimized user interfaces.
At Pepperl+Fuchs, Industry 4.0 is defined as a complete network of production systems. These systems are characterized by data exchange within the production process, but also with higher-level information systems beyond the company boundaries. This networking of all automation components requires new technologies that enable direct horizontal and vertical access to the information of the production system – all the way down to field devices in explosion-hazardous areas. This means communication along the process chain, in higher-level information systems such as MES or ERP and, at the same time, direct access down to field level.
The new Pepperl+Fuchs VisuNet GXP with the innovative firmware VisuNet RM Shell 5 lets you harness the power of Industry 4.0. For the first time, the smart human-machine interface system enables communication within the production process and direct access to the sensor across all hierarchical levels, including in explosion hazardous areas.
Do you have any questions on the VisuNet GXP, or do you want to receive more information? We are happy to help! Simply fill out the contact form and send us a message.

The Mysterious Mr. Carnes
I've been digging for information about John Carnes's ideological or economic situation in 1775, and coming up empty. While the problems in his ministerial career are well documented, his life for the next decade is misty. He wasn't rich enough to be prominent, or poor enough to come to the attention of the authorities.
Aside from the episodes I described here and here, all I've found is that Carnes bought shoes from the newly arrived merchant John Short, and sold goods to the Box and Austin ropewalk or its proprietors. And in November 1770, he joined the Old South Meeting.
Which leaves a lot of room for speculation. For example, his brother Edward (1730-1782) owned a house that got the name "Carnes College," but no one knows why. Was "Carnes College" where John Carnes tutored young men for Harvard right after leaving the pulpit? If so, the property kept that name even after John set up his shop on Orange Street. (In the 1790s Harrison Gray Otis bought the "Carnes College" property and built a new house there, now owned by Historic New England.)
Who was the Carnes who announced the opening of a new shop with Nathaniel Seaver in the Boston Evening-Post on 17 May 1773? The next March, Seaver advertised in the Boston Post-Boy that he was carrying on that business alone.
Did John Carnes test business in New York in October 1765, when a man of that name registered as a freeman of the city? In June 1774 a John Carnes was in New York advertising "a quantity of dry goods…exposed to sale at vendue," or auction. In October the sheriff advertised a different auction of "the four years leases of two houses and lots of ground, situate in Murray's street, back of the College, late the property of John Carnes." So if that was the John Carnes of Boston, looking for better prospects, the move didn't go so well.
But maybe John Carnes was in the South End of Boston the whole time, quietly carrying on his little business, not advertising and not getting into trouble.
A "Reminiscence of Gen. Warren" in the New England Historical & Genealogical Register for 1858 said:
Dr. David Townsend, June 17, 1775, in the morning, went to Brighton to see Mr. Carnes's family of Boston. About one in the afternoon, Mr. Carnes came and reported that there was hot work. The British at Boston, with their shipping, were firing very heavy on our men at Bunker Hill. Dr. Townsend said he must go and work for Dr. Warren.Was this John Carnes, having moved from the army-occupied town? Or was it a relative?
In any event, since John Carnes referred to himself in 1770 as being "in the grocery-way," he's almost certainly the "John Carnes a Grocer" who had agreed to send information on the British military out to Gen. George Washington in July 1775. Did he do that because he was committed to the cause of liberty? In need of money? In the grip of a grand idea? I have no clue.
TOMORROW: But I know that the Rev. John Carnes sent information.

Remember back when Blackberry went on a patent spree and we were all shown some of their styles. Some we liked, some we disliked. Well, one of them was the patent for the "Blackhawk". Pictured below.
While the Blackberry world tries to figure out just how exactly this phone is going to look like (def not like a samsung i730) we can get a general idea with the patent image. The only difference is there will be no trackball or trackpad.
I was able to get confirmation on the specs of this phone from the Ninja. Now remember, this phone is in very early early stages. They may and probably will get changed before final production.
So when I asked what this phone actually looks like since the picture we had up was NOT the phone, this is what I was told. Picture the storm two, with a slide out qwert ex. the htc touch pro. Except the storm will be all screen.
Now, the specs on this phone, if they ARE final. I'm impressed. These are exactly from the e-mail I received, copy and pasted.
-5mp camera with auto flash
-824mhz processor
-full mobile graphics chip (not sure the brand or type but will find out) for gaming
-OLED "HD" screen full touch sensitive and gaming consumer geared (like iphone) for ex. playing mario cart. or a driving game you turn it in hands the screen follows. RIM has patent'd this tech and is yet to be named but far from new.
-wi-fi bg (n tested in labs battery falls way short)
-lte,cdma,evdo,rev-a,rev-b,gsm quad band. and for att release 7.2+mbps
-2100 mah battery as of now. could change at release.
-beta adobe flash being tested for full flash browsing.
some notes i found on it.- as of now sar rating is trying to be reduced as it is slated at 1.8 at the ear and US laws need it below 1.6 or lower. So its in very early testing but it is out there. and current internal release date will be around the 3rd anniversary of the storm. so figure nov 2010- feb 2011.

ABOUT DUTTON-GOLDFIELD Dutton-Goldfield Winery began with a handshake in a vineyard in 1998, when longtime colleagues and friends Steve Dutton and Dan Goldfield recognized a shared vision between them—to craft wines that express the personalities of their cool-climate vineyards, and which they'd enjoy drinking at their own dinner tables. A fifth-generation farmer, Steve grew up with a love of driving tractors, and without any doubt about his future career. His father, Warren Dutton, had begun growing grapes in the western reaches of Russian River Valley in the mid-1960s, at a time when most people thought the area was too cool to grow fruit for quality still wine. Steve started working with his father when he was five years old, and joined Dutton Ranch full-time in 1987. Today, along with his mother and brother, he manages the family business, which has grown from its original 35-acre home shop vineyard to over 80 separate vineyards comprising more than 1,000 acres throughout western Russian River Valley. After graduating from Boston's Brandeis University, Dan headed west to begin a career in research chemistry, with a few detours for skiing and hiking on the way. Always an outdoor enthusiast, the life of lab work was quickly replaced with a dream of winemaking when his brother turned him on to the 1969 Burgundies. Dan entered the University of California at Davis, graduating with an M.S. in Enology in 1986. He gained knowledge on the job with stints at Robert Mondavi Winery and Schramsberg as well as winemaking in Portugal for two years. He found his passion in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, first as the winemaker at the Burgundian-focused La Crema Winery, and then at Hartford Court, which was created under his direction. Dan's appreciation for the beauty of the extraordinary landscape around our home is reflected in his winemaking. THE WINES Pinot Noir is all about eliciting the flavors of the piece of earth from which it comes. We have the privilege of sourcing fruit from a spectacular array of vineyards throughout western Russian River Valley and beyond, many of which Steve and Dan worked together to plant. From our favorite Dutton Ranch parcels, we select the vineyards that will blend together to become a quintessential Russian River pinot. We then choose a few special sites that epitomize their terroir to bottle in limited-production single-vineyard wines. In all our pinots, our goal is to create wines of balance and individuality that speak about their home. The distinctive character of the land truly comes through in wines from the old, cold, dry-farmed chardonnay vineyards of Green Valley. Warren Dutton was the first to plant chardonnay in the coldest areas of the western Russian River in the mid-60s, giving Dutton Ranch a choice collection of vineyards today. From these, we select sites that give us wines with a vibrant citrus core, focused fruit, great richness and solid acidity, even after full barrel and malolactic fermentation. Syrah and Zinfandel express themselves beautifully in our cold part of the world. Our climate gives these wines bright fruit, silky tannins and moderate alcohol. Open top fermentation and aging in the finest French oak enhances their natural suppleness, complexity and balance. Dutton-Goldfield's mission is to craft world-class wines that display the brightness of fruit, complexity, structure and balance that are reflective of our cool coastal home.

External Reviews for Dutton-Goldfield Chardonnay Rued Vineyard Wine
Source: JJ Buckley Fine Wines
Brilliant straw gold. Intense aromatics immediately identify New World chardonnay with caramel pineapple and ripe pear. Good acid up front lends refreshing character with yellow apple white peach vanilla and a wet stone minerality. A lingering spice carries through a long finish with a slight heat. A bit flabby at times this is a wine of parts that never quite find any harmony. Drink now through 2016. Ryan Moses.

Microsoft has introduced a unique blend of "dual use" products in a single subscription, called Work & Play Bundle. This is a subscription to four of its popular subscriptions services, combined into a single bundle.
The products included are:
- Office 365 Home (which includes 1TB of OneDrive space today, which is soon going to become unlimited storage, for 5 users)
- Skype Unlimited World and Skype WiFi
- Xbox LIVE Gold
- Xbox Music Pass
As you can see, this is not a "consumer" bundle, nor is it a "business" bundle. In keeping with Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's mantra, this is a product made for someone who wants to access productivity tools like Office and OneDrive as well as fun stuff like Xbox gaming and listening to unlimited music on demand. Of course, Skype calling applies naturally to both work and play scenarios.
Of course, being a bundle, the selling point is that the combined price of $199/year is better than buying all those subscriptions individually. Also, if you already subscribe to one or more of these products, adding this bundle will simply extend the subscription to those products by a year. Finally, in terms of actual delivery, each product is delivered as a $50 redemption code so potentially, you could give the stuff you don't care about to friends and others.
This bundle shows that Microsoft is pushing even harder in the direction of making all their services into a recurring revenue model business. There have long been wishes for Xbox LIVE Gold to include the Xbox Music Pass and now we can see that Microsoft is making it a little bit easier to digest by combining these popular services together.
One thing to note, as is stated in the footnote on the site, the Xbox Music Pass is only for streaming on Xbox and the web. I wonder why they made that restriction, implying it won't be available on mobile devices or Windows modern Music app.
At $199 per year, it is not a slam dunk choice for consumers to jump to, but there is a lot of value in the bundle if you use even three of the four services included here. Are you interested in this bundle? Would you consider buying it?

Habit Rouge
Eau de Parfum
Elegance is the ultimate freedom
White Bee Bottle 500 ML
Indisponible -
Created in 1965, Habit Rouge was the first oriental fragrance for men in perfumery. From the moment of its launch, this tribute to Guerlain's passion for the dressage of horses created an element of surprise with its scents of sensual and bold vanilla. An oriental that is by turns citrusy, warm and accented with vanilla, it expresses the genius of contrast and well-mastered emotions.
Habit Rouge incarnates a man who is enamoured of refinement and capable of all manner of audacity. He lives his life fervently and distinguishes himself with a trail of extreme sensuality.
With its modern geometry and mastery of form, Habit Rouge has an eternally elegant French appeal.
passionate, sophisticated, audacious.
Habit Rouge expresses itself directly in a spicy, woody heart, nuanced with neroli and jasmine notes. Leather and oud wood notes blossom in the base, tempered by the sweetness of vanilla and patchouli.
Habit Rouge marked the first use in western perfume-making of oud wood, a very precious scented resin with a warm and woody smell.

The First Republic of Austria (German: Republik Österreich) existed between the signing of the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye of September 1919—the settlement after the end of World War I which ended the Republic of German-Austria—and ended to with the establishment of a the Federal State of Austria based upon a dictatorship of Engelbert Dollfuss and the Fatherland's Front. The period was marked by violent strife between those with left-wing and right-wing views, leading to the July Revolt of 1927 and the Austrian Civil War.
The Republic's constitution was enacted in 1920 and amended in 1929.
In 1919, the state of German Austria was dissolved by the Treaty of Saint Germain, which ceded German-populated regions in Sudetenland to Czechoslovakia, German-populated Tyrol to Italy and a portion of southern land to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Kraljevina Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca, or SHS) also known as Yugoslavia. It also barred Anschluss, or union with Germany, without League of Nations consent.
The treaty angered the German population in Austria who claimed that it violated the Fourteen Points laid out by United States President Woodrow Wilson during peace talks, specifically the right to "self-determination" of all nations. Many of them felt that with the loss of 60 percent of the territory of the prewar empire, Austria was no longer viable as a separate state.
The new state managed to prevent two land claims from being taken by their neighbours. The first was the south-eastern part of Carinthia, which was inhabited partly by Slovenians. It was prevented from being taken by the new SHS-state through a plebiscite on October 10, 1920, in which the population chose to remain with Austria. The second land-claim that was prevented was Hungary's claim to Burgenland, which, under the name "Western Hungary", had been part of the Hungarian kingdom since 1647. It was inhabited mostly by a German-speaking population, but had also Croat- and Hungarian-speaking minorities. Through the Treaty of St. Germain it became part of the Austrian Republic in 1921. After a plebiscite which was disputed by Austria, the city of Sopron (German Ödenburg) remained in Hungary.
After the war, Austria was governed by a coalition of left-wing and right-wing parties which had established a number of progressive socioeconomic and labour legislation. In 1920, the coalition government established the Constitution of Austria. However the new state was difficult to control, as much of the former empire's important economic regions had been taken away with the foundation of new nation-states. The matter was further complicated by the fact that a number of these new nation-states were still dependent on Vienna's banks.
For much of the early 1920s, Austria's survival was very much in doubt. This was partly because Austria had never been a nation in the true sense of the term. Although the Austrian state had existed in one form or another for 700 years, it had no real unifying force other than the Habsburgs. Vienna was now left as an imperial capital without an empire to support it.
Part of a series on the
|History of Austria

World War II
Post-war Austria
|Austria portal
After 1920, Austria's government was dominated by the anti-Anschluss[1] Christian Social Party which retained close ties to the Roman Catholic Church. The party's first Chancellor, Ignaz Seipel, attempted to forge a political alliance between wealthy industrialists and the Roman Catholic Church. Despite the nation having a steady political party in power, the politics of the nation were fractious and violent, with both left-wing (Republikanischer Schutzbund) and right-wing (Heimwehr) political paramilitary forces clashing with each other. In 1927, left-wing supporters engaged in a massive protest over the acquittal of right-wing paramilitaries who were found guilty of killing a man and a child. The huge protest was known as the July Revolt of 1927. The July Revolt was put down through violence by police which killed a number of protestors. The violence in Austria continued to escalate until the early 1930s when Engelbert Dollfuss became Chancellor.
Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss of the Christian Social Party took power in Austria in 1932, and moved the party and Austria towards dictatorship, centralization and fascism. In 1933, Dollfuss took advantage of an error in a bill in parliament, and his cabinet voted to dissolve the National Council and declared that parliament ceased to function.
The government was in competition with the growing Austrian Nazi party, which wanted Austria to join Germany. Dollfuss's Austrofascism tied Austria's roots with Roman Catholicism to the government, as a means to show reason to why Austria should not join a predominantly Protestant Germany. Violence escalated into civil war between Nazis, socialists, and Austrofascists.
On May 1, 1934, Dollfuss created a one-party state, to be led by the Fatherland Front (German: Vaterländische Front), with the proclamation of the authoritarian "May Constitution". Federalism and the controlling powers of the Federal Council was curtailed, while elections for the National Council was abolished, its members instead nominated by four non-elective, corporatist-styled councils; the State Council (Staatsrat), Federal Culture Council (Bundeskulturrat), Federal Economic Council (Bundeswirtschaftsrat) and the States' Council (Länderrat), supposedly providing their best opinions on respective areas. In practice all legislation and appointment was exercised from above by the Federal Chancellor's and President's decree. The state took complete control of employer–employee relations, known as Ständestaat, and began to crack down on pro-Nazi and pro–German-unification sympathizers. The Nazis responded by assassinating Engelbert Dollfuss on July 25, 1934[2] (see Maiverfassung 1934).
This assassination by the Austrian Nazis infuriated Austria's neighbor, Fascist Italy under dictator Benito Mussolini. Fascist Italy had good relations with Austria under Dollfuss and Mussolini suspected German involvement and promised the Austrofascist regime military support if Germany were to invade, as the Nazis had claims on Italian-administered Tyrol. Italy's support helped save Austria from potential annexation in 1934.
The successor to Dollfuss, Kurt Schuschnigg, maintained the ban on Nazi activities, but also banned Austria's national paramilitary force, the Heimwehr, in 1936.
In 1938, Hitler had gained Italy's favour on the issue of annexation of Austria, and made clear his immediate intentions to take over the country. Schuschnigg desperately tried to avoid war with Germany, and organized a plebiscite set for March 13 to decide whether Austria would join Germany or remain independent. Schuschnigg intended to rig the vote to ensure a pro-Austrian victory. Austrian-born Hitler responded by demanding Schuschnigg's immediate resignation, which he was pressured to accept on March 11 which the immediate threat of occupation. Schuschnigg was replaced by Austrian Nazi leader Arthur Seyß-Inquart and Germany sent in troops the next day on March 12, which took over the nation. On March 13, the First Austrian Republic was formally dissolved and became part of Germany in the Anschluß (political union).

Back in May when Google started publishing the takedown requests it received from copyright holders, the number was fairly high, roughly 250,000 a week. That's as much as all of 2009. Now, it's even higher. As of this month, that number has reached 2.5 million.
The numbers come with a new transparency feature Google has rolled out which allows anyone to download a big ol' list of all copyright removals in the Transparency Report, the data being refreshed every day. On top of that, Google is also telling how many of those requests it finds legitimate, and while some of the errors are glaring, the lion's share of requests—around 97.5 percent—are generally found to be valid and the results removed.
Even with that insane volume, Google has been able to keep up quite well so far. Most of the requests are processed in about six hours, which is a pretty good turn-around on such massive numbers. As time goes on that number is bound to only get bigger, maybe even by more than one order of magnitude at a time. Hopefully the rate of error doesn't get worse as a result.

Dog sledding
The raw excitement around the dogs was palpable and contagious as they yipped, barked and howled with anticipation in the falling snow. While one group of riders split off and mounted their growling machines, I followed Beth, Justin, Katie and Derek through the thick snow to the sleds. Snow swiftly swirled around us and the restless dogs as the winds picked up and visibility diminished. The wirey dogs were quickly harnessed up and attached to the leads one by one, each of them seemingly bursting with excitement for the first sled run of the day.
Due to injury and lack of mobility, I would not be competing in the long anticipated games. Nearly 40 outdoors enthusiasts and social media influencers from the past four seasons of Columbia's #Omniten program gathered near Park City, Utah for a collective competition. The competition would be a secret set of challenges, completed in teams, with a serious prize on the line. Once the content of the games was revealed and the teams were chosen, I began my own challenge: To tell the story of the games through photographs.
The final challenge for everyone in the competition would be "Charles Dickens", a storytelling challenge. I knew the teams would be immersed in their activities, in some cases fighting the clock, and there would be little time or opportunity for them to capture the images that could bring their stories to life. In the highly visual mediums we have to portray our stories, images are invaluable and grab a reader's attention quickly. So my challenge, my contribution to the games, would be to capture the moments that would help support the narratives of the competitors to the best of my abilities.
I chose to start my shoot with the first dog sled teams, passing up an opportunity to follow the first snowmobiles to the archery site. Everyone was excited about the dog sleds and I knew I needed to capture that excitement early while it was still raw, while the dogs were still fresh, while the apprehension was still visible. I wanted to focus on two things at this station, the excitement on people's faces as they readied for their first ride and the explosive energy of the dogs. The dogs were much less cooperative than the #omniten but were the real stars, beautiful animals straining against their harnesses with incredible power.
The shooting wasn't too difficult here, but getting around in a foot and a half or more of snow with a bad knee made for some sketchy moments. A couple of falls and bad twists made things interesting and set a cautious tone in my head about being physically able to follow the games. Still, I would do my best.
Making fire exciting
It was quiet once the dogs had run off with their sleds in tow. I set off across the snow to find the other teams working on their challenges. luckily for me the other events were clustered together, but they were up a hill…normally not an issue but this time it felt like an arduous trek. I struggled up the snowy, uneven path to the Fire Challenge.
Each team had 25 minutes to light a fire and get a small pot of water boiling. Not quite the excitement surrounding the dog sleds. Looking for storylines I focused on the expressions of concentration, I tried to capture the spark flying off the flint starter, and for those who were successful…flame. I started to realize my background in graphic design and sequential illustration played in to how I thought about the photos. During the Fire Challenge I really began to treat the photography like I was setting up a storyboard. I looked for "scene setting" images, "character" images and "action images" while in my head I stitched them together sequentially so I could visualize and capitalize on the gaps. This technique of visualizing a sequential storyline helped get me through the next few events.
I can't be everywhere
I really wish I could have covered everyone at every event, but it just wasn't possible. The Dog Sledding was too mobile and the archery event was too remote. Even the clustered events were difficult because I was having a hard time moving quickly enough through the snow to catch each team at each event. Knowing I couldn't do it all, I began to broaden the scope of the story I could tell. Instead of focusing on individual stories, I realized I needed to tell the broader story of the games in general. I started thinking about the group story and how the individual stories would intertwine.
This released me from the idea that I had to capture everyone at every station. As long as I could cover different crews at each event I would be supporting the overall story. Still, the first day was a serious challenge.
Archery in the snow
I managed to grab a ride along on one of the snowmobiles later in day one. The weather had become more aggressive and our visibility was getting pretty tight when we took off. I remember thinking that this could make for some great dramatic images or it could ruin my equipment. I stored my gear for the ride out to protect it then set up once we reached the archery station.
Archery turned out to be some of the most dramatic imagery I captured on the first day. The wind picked up and the snow whipped through the frame while I narrowed in on the expressions of focus and concentration of our archers. Just the image of a drawn bow exudes tension, power and drama and has been used in imagery of warriors for millennia for just that reason. This was a pretty stationary event, like the fire building, so I worked my angles to capture a higher sense of action to support the narrative.
Day one of the #Omnigames wrapped up in whiteout conditions with the last of the #Omniten warming themselves indoors with bowls of fresh chili and hot chocolate. I found myself continuing to head outside even though the games were over just to enjoy the weather. Standing outside, wrapped in my warm Columbia gear with the wind and snow whipping around me I was able to have a little quiet time to think and appreciate where I was and how I got here.
Columbia Sportswear has developed a culture built around pushing boundaries and exploring our limits. Their products are designed with this in mind and the "Trying Stuff" mantra is a corporate rally cry that echoes throughout everything they do. We were brought together by Columbia because we embody this message, we live the "Trying Stuff" lifestyle with everything we do. To me it is just that, a lifestyle, a philosophy that permeates every part of our lives. It's a personal commitment to accepting challenges and facing them with persistence and excitement…even joy.
Once you stop facing challenges, once you stop pushing your boundaries, you stop growing…you stop improving and learning. You stop living. I will always be "Trying Stuff" whether that means pushing my limits outdoors, developing my home and gardens to their full potential, learning new skills, or expanding my career. I was limited by injury on this trip but it didn't stop me from "Trying Stuff". I was able to explore my limits with photography and push my equipment, knowledge and skills to knew levels. Something that has me excited about doing more photography work in the future. At this point who knows where it will take me, but I'm excited to find out.
