Optics compared to Quantum mechanics
Optics normally treats the behaviour of packages of light waves (photons). However, when passing through appropriately shaped fields, particles may behave similar as photons. A beam of electrons that is not too dense will under such conditions behave similar to light beams that pass comparable lenses. In a dense beam the electrons will influence each others path via their own Coulomb field.
Cylinder symmetric lenses act as Fourier transformers of the information that pass its active surface. The aperture of the lens cuts the hologram that exists in that surface and contributes to the Fourier transform. The images formed are a convolutiion of the Fourier transform of what enters the active surface and the Fourier transform of the shape of the aperture. This means that the image at some distance from the active surface is blurred with the Fourier transform of the aperture.
This story only works when the photons interfere in order to generate the image. A small hole can do the job. Its aperture is small, so the energy flux of the passed wave packages is small.
A possibility is to use a glass lens to create this effect. Glass lenses have a front active surface and a back active surface. Further the optical properties in these surfaces are not spatially uniform. A cylinder symmetrical lens suffers from Seidel aberrations and chromatic aberrations. The aberrations increase with the distance of the passage of the package to the centre of the aperture. Thus the formed image is not blurred with the Fourier transform of the shape of the aperture, but instead with the representative of the transmission characteristics of the area of the aperture. This Fourier transform characterises the optical properties of the lens. It is called the Optical Transfer Function (OTF).
The OTF is a two parametric function of the spatial frequencies OTF(fx, fy)
The OTF varies with the angle in which the impinging wave package enters the surface of the active aperture.
The OTF varies with the radial position at which the impinging wave package enters the surface of the active aperture.
The OTF varies with the radial position with the frequency of the waves contained in the package that enters the surface of the active aperture.
Also the coherence of the waves in the package influences the OTF.
When a flat beam of monochromatic light enters the active aperture, the lens focuses that light into a spot. That spot has a distribution which is the Fourier transform of the active aperture. It is called the Point Spread Function (PSF) of the lens for that light. For different frequencies of the light the lens might focus at different focus points.
If the beam enters under an angle, then the focus point lays excentric. The focus points constructed in this way form a convex surface.
The light packages that depart from a convex surface whose centre coincides with the centre of the active aperture form focussed images on a convex surface at the output side of the lens.
The OTF has a modulus, the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF).
The OTF has a phase, the Phase Transfer Function (PTF).
Each cut through the centre of the MTF is symmetric. At the centre of a cylindrical imaging system the MTF is also rotational symmetric. The MTF is usually specified in one or two curves. One specifying half of the broadest MTF cut and the other specifying the thinnest MTF cut.
Contrary to the MTF the PTF is hardly ever used for normal imaging purposes. However, for the production of holograms the PTF is indispensable as a quality measure for the imaging device. For these purposes the active aperture must act as a uniform phase transformer.
When two or more imaging devices in a sequence produce an image, then the OTF of the total is the product of the OTF's of the constituting parts. When one more of the parts absorb or (re)create the image, then the rule only holds for the MTF's. Thus in these applications the MTF is a useful quality characteristic in the same sense that a frequency characteristic is a useful tool for one-dimensional instruments such as amplifiers and filters. This also indicates that the MTF is a proper quality measure for image receptors such as silicon image detectors, image generators such as video screens and image convertors such as image intensifiers.
Measuring the OTF is done by taking the Fourier transform of the PSF that corresponds to a point source of radiation. Since this offers very little energy to measure the effect, instead of a point source a thin slit is used as a source. The slit itself has a two dimensional sinc function as its Fourier transform. It is wide where the slit is thin and it is small where the slit is extended. It comes down to the fact that the measuring result is a slice through the OTF in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the slit. By rotating the slit, the full OTF can be measured.
It is already indicated that the OTF varies with the position in the image surface. This limits the length of the slit that can be used. And it limits the area for which the measuring result is valid. In fact it depends on the accepted measuring inaccuracy.
The measured OTF can further depend on the homogeneity of the source surface or on the homogeneity of the detection surface.
A simple apparatus for measuring the modulation transfer factor
When the image of a slit runs over a checkerboard pattern that is turned 45 degrees with respect to the orientation of the slit, then the signal falling through is a blurred triangle wave function. When the image of the slit is blurred enough the third harmonic of the triangle wave is filtered away and a proper sine wave results. What is left is to measure the amplitude (or the rms) of the signal. This apparatus works for a single spatial frequency.
The slightly more complex Odeta apparatus works on the same principle by rotating two plates with parallel lines in opposite direction. The lines create a diamond pattern that varies in its basic frequency. Odeta stands for Old Delft Transfer Analyzer.
The Odeta is a delicate instrument that finds its application area in lab environments. The Modulation Transfer Factor meter can be constructed in a ruggedized format. It can be used in a factory manufacturing line. It is limited to a single spatial frequency, which is usually taken at about 2/3 of the spatial bandwidth of the test specimens.
A glass lens usually has two active surfaces, which usually are called principal planes. One is situated near the input side and one is situated at the output side. These planes act as holographic screens. With respect to its action, the space between the two surfaces can be neglected.
In most applications the input surface and/or the output surface is not a convex/concave surface but a flat surface. Further, the use of multi-chromatic light asks for measures against the fact that the focus surfaces depend on the colour. In order to still get a sharp image the lenses are built from several aspherical glass elements. Another solution is the use of fibre optic face plates that are convex at one side and flat at the other. This solution is often applied in high-tech electronic imaging devices.
A lens is characterized by four cardinal points: two points where a parallel beam focuses and two points where the principal planes cross the axis.
The focussing surface depends on the angular position of the object detail. With a given input and output space and a tolerated blurring measure the useful opening angle is bounded.
Rays describe the path of wave packages (or particles). The image formed by a lens can also be described by ray tracing. The rays form together the PSF.
The hole in the camera obscura acts also as a lens. Its active surface acts as a single holographic screen.
This camera produces dynamic three dimensional images of scenes outside the obscured room.
If this picture is taken one dimension higher, then the screen evolves in a screen that coincides with a sphere.
This shows that a camera obscura has much in common with the screen surrounding a black hole. The correspondence works as far as photons are concerned.
When light is falling through two holes the principle is the same. However the transformer has now two components. When they operate as a single unit the influences of the parts get entangled. In that case the light that falls through the holes interferes. The PSF of this 'lens' consist of the interference of the two PSF's of the lens parts.
A slit consist of a very large series of small holes. Their interference pattern is a double sinc function. It is small in the direction of the slit and wide in the other direction.
A larger circular hole consists of a large series of small holes grouped in the area of the larger hole. Their interference pattern has the shape of a first order Bessel function divided by its argument.
The image through two parallel slits consists of the interferences of the two single slit images.
Special types of holograms can act as lenses. The advantage is their large aperture. The disadvantage is their limited opening angle.
A more elaborate view on optics can be obtained via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics.
Subjects related to OTF can be reached via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_transfer_function.
Normally, optics act in a cylindrical symmetric or a
folded or circularly bent tube like format. Thus it acts in two dimensions.
When optics is taken one dimension higher then it becomes much more similar with quantum mechanics. Especially, it becomes similar with the wave part of QM.
When the active surface of a camera obscura is seen as a holographic screen then it has its equivalent in the spherical holographic screen that surrounds a black hole.
In the seventies NATO felt the need to have an objective standard for measuring the quality of its imaging devices. Beforehand, the quality was estimated subjectively by measuring the spatial resolution in lines per millimetre. That measure appeared unreliable and it gave little information over the quality of image transfer for courser details. The MTF was suggested as a proper alternative, but the outcome of the measurement depends so much on measuring conditions, that most laboratories came with different results for the same measured specimen. This required a standard and the task group for establishing the OTF STANAG 4161 was born.
Wolfgang Wittenstein of the Forschungsinstitut für Optik, Schloss Kressbach, Tübingen was one of the members and I was a member too. We regularly interchanged our roles as proponents and opponents and in several stadia we produced new versions of a prototype standard. In the process we got our secretaries mad because at that moment there existed no text processors. The other members of the group acted as discussion partners and also suggested several inputs. We took several years with each year two sessions at different labs of NATO participants to reach a final result: the STANAG 4161 On the Optical Transfer Function of Imaging Systems, parts I – III, (1979)
The main problem was a pragmatic redefinition of the concept of OTF, because in optics theory books the OTF was usually treated as a spatially uniform function, which it isn't. Further, nearly always the parameters that influenced the OTF, such as the angular and chromatic distribution and the coherence or inhomogeneity of the object light were neglected. The standard defined the OTF as dependent on the accepted measuring inaccuracy and stated sets of precise measuring conditions.
Soon after this standard completed the ISO standards organisation felt the requirement for an equivalent ISO standard. That standard aimed at optical lenses. Next the IEC took its part by setting a standard for measuring the MTF of electronic imaging devices. Also DIN wanted a standard for lenses and X-ray image intensifier devices. I took part in all these standardization task groups.

Silent Hill Nurse & Pyramid Head
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Couples
This homemade costume for couples entered our 2015 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Sarah, the 'Silent Hill Bobble Head Nurse & Pyramid Head' costume creator:
My boyfriend and I made our own Silent Hill bobble head nurse and Pyramid Head Halloween costumes this year. It was so much fun!
For the Silent Hill Nurse costume
What you will need:
- Nurse lab coat (I got mine here: https://www.avidastore.com/)
- Quarter Yard White Cloth (for the nurse hat)
- White heels (I got mine from Walmart for $5. Doesn't have to be anything fancy since you'll be pouring blood on them!)
- 2 beige tensor bandages (for the mask)
- 100 black tea bags (to dye the hat and lab coat)
- Paint: black & red
- Gray cream face paint
To make the hat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d88kCfCXjEE
To make the dress & shoes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hUyDfZ6y08
To make the mask: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkYVemhXgYY
Tip: when I purchased the lab coat it was very large. You want your dress to be fairly tight like from the movie so I used a sewing machine to take in the sides and make it much tighter!
Another Tip: make sure you paint your chest, arms and legs. I did mine with gray creme makeup and mixed some black paint in! You can draw on veins going from the neck to the chest and on your arms and legs as well!

Music Publisher Discovers A Song In Its Catalog Has Been Heavily Sampled For Decades... Sues Everyone
from the statute-of-limitations? deptOver at THREsq, they have the story of a small music publisher by the name of Drive-In Music. Apparently it holds the rights to the song "Let A Woman Be A Woman" by Dyke & The Blazers:
Since then, however, Drive-In has suddenly discovered that the song has been sampled in a bunch of other songs, and has decided to sue over all of them. THREsq has a list:
- In July, Drive-in Music sued Sony BMG, Ruthless Records, and others for use of "Let a Woman Be a Woman" in the seminal gangster rap hit, "Menace to Society" by the group, Above the Law
- In August, Drive-in Music sued Capitol Records for use of "Let a Woman Be a Woman" in the 1990 rap song, "Diss You" from rapper, King Tee
- In September, Drive-in Music sued Busta Rhymes, Warner Music, Elektra Entertainment, Atlantic Recording Company and others for use of "Let a Woman Be a Woman" in 1991 old-school hip hop song, "Case of the P.T.A."
- In September, Drive-in Music sued Universal Music Group, Interscope-Geffen-A&M Group, and Beck Hansen for use of "Let a Woman Be a Woman" in the 1997 Beck song "Jack-Ass" from the Odelay album
- In fact, just this week, Drive-in Music has filed a second lawsuit over that very same Beck song. The company is going after the publisher, Cyandide Breathmint Music, the Dust Brothers, and various subsidiaries of UMG.

With a vast inventory of web properties such as I have (heh) it's easy to lose track of a few of them. I took a look at a couple today and they really need updating. They aren't money sites; I use them for other purposes, but they just scream "Welcome to the last century". Like my old site that I was once using for selling my website design services. Even if that business is still on hiatus I think I need something a little nicer and more modern looking over there. So I'll add that to the queue of projects I hope to someday complete.
I am happy that I did complete another little project of mine that has been on the back burner for a while and got it online this week. It's a little play on words that is an attempt to capture traffic from the fact that so many people use the name Thai Airlines when they should be using Thai Airways. I couldn't get the precise domain name I wanted (damn domain squatters) but the one I did get should be good enough for my experiment.

While it's easy to focus on the major first-party and exclusive games on the way to the Wii U in the coming months, it shouldn't be forgotten that Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag, one of the highest profile multi-platform games of the year, is coming to the Wii U. It was perhaps surprising that a numbered released followed hot on the heels of Assassin's Creed III, and that it's also set in the Caribbean, with various figures including famous real-life pirates set to feature prominently.
Of course, the release on the Wii U will have its own non-story subplots, as Ubisoft and no doubt Nintendo will monitor its sales and progress on the system, especially with the title also arriving on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3 and PS4. As is always — unfortunately — the case, we're also left hoping that Nintendo gamers will receive a high quality, full featured version.
In an interview to be published later today Robin Lavallée, the Wii U project manager of the system's team of 15 in the company's Quebec Studio, addressed our enquiries regarding the performance we can expect on the Wii U. While Assassin's Creed III was a reasonable port, there were undoubtedly moments, such as crowded battle scenes, where the framerate and performance would undergo a substantial dip on the console; he's told us that the team is confident such areas should be improved this time around.
I'm happy you are asking the question, the team worked really hard during the last month to increase the performances on the Wii U version… and one of those points was the crowded battle scenes. So the quick answer is, yes we have worked to improve this on Black Flag.
...The Wii U architecture poses some technical challenges that we've been able to thankfully overcome. It hasn't been easy, but we're really proud of the final result on this console.
We'll need to wait and see whether these assurances are delivered upon in the final product. Be sure to check back later today to see the whole interview and learn more about this latest entry and its Wii U iteration.

For me the difficult question is who is dumber? The people who think making coffee should include passing the beans through the digestive tract of an elephant or the people who are willing to fork over a premium price to drink the shit? (pun intended).
I mean seriously, just how far are we expected to go?

The Art of Plastic Waste and Green Space
I live on the edge of Propsect Park (the Brooklyn quartered Olmstead and Vaux masterpiece, for you unfamiliar readers). This location affords me the privilege of easy access to green, open space and I take advantage of this privilege often. On the Mondays that follow beautiful weekend weather, however, I usually avoid strolling across the sunny lawns or rambling along the lily-pad ponds. On these days the trash bins are overflowing, plastic bottles float on waterways, and my dog finds an endless supply of chicken bones to choke on. It seems that New Yorkers love to frolic in their green spaces when weather permits and a surge in their numbers can inevitably be read from the trash they leave behind.
Next weekend, the NYC-based design agency MSLK will be launching an installation that gets at this phenomenon brilliantly. "Watershed" will be a conspicuous display of plastic bottle consumption in the U.S. It features 1,500 bottles–the number consumed every second in the states–strung together and connected in all sorts of crazy ways (see the video of the project's construction below). It will be shown from June 12-14 as part of the Figment Art Festival out on Governors Island: NYC's most unique green space. Free ferries will be running out to this car-free, history-rich, and bike-laned oasis during the event and for the rest of the summer. The venue alone provides sufficient reason to plan a group outing, while the festival provides impetus to get there early.
Watershed Assembly at MSLK 5/24/09 from MSLK on Vimeo.

Lashing rain, a half-empty stadium, near-constant booing of current president Jacob Zuma and an ill-timed selfie by Barack Obama – the Nelson Mandela memorial service was not exactly how South Africans wanted to remember Madiba.
In a further twist, it has been claimed the African National Congress sign language interpreter who signed during announcements and world leaders' speeches, including Mr Obama, was making it up as he went along.
After deaf people and others who can sign called out the interpreter on Twitter, and on the UK-based deaf news blog the Limping Chicken, during the memorial at Johannesburg's FNB Stadium, the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters said it did not recognise the man's actions as any form of sign language.
'It seems quite obvious that the interpreter isn't using South African sign language,' WASLI representative Sheena Walters told SBS.
'Most sign languages across the world share a similar structure and pattern and this person seems to be making a lot of repetitive signs and isn't displaying the usual facial expression or structure of sign language that you would normally see.'
Braam Jordaan, a deaf South African and board member of the World Deaf Federation, added: 'I was really upset and humiliated. He made up his own signs.
'What happened at the memorial service is truly disgraceful thing to see – it should not happen at all.'
It is understood that the same interpreter has been used at previous events run by the African National Congress, which is now said to have launched an investigation into his actions.

This morning, my rage kettle boiled over. On an eons old post, we received a well-written and seemingly thoughtful comment, that intimated I didn't deserve to question men, because they are the ones who lay down their lives for this country and who gave me the right to blog in the first place. Shockingly, this is not the first time I've heard this argument. It essentially consists of "Feminists are evil man-haters, who don't understand all that menfolk have done for them!"
I just—
I can't even…
There is so much wrong with this argument that I'm actively worried about the state of education in the West. Ignoring the obvious—which I've compiled a list of at the bottom of this post, because fuck all the fuckery—there is a major problem with this whole line of thinking: feminism isn't about hating men or soldiers or any group of people, except perhaps misogynists. Feminism means believing in equality of the genders. That's it.
Blog over!
Y'all, that's Kindergarten level simple. Why do we still let people—many of them young women, who are directly victimized by patriarchal structures every day—go around saying that feminists hate men? There's not a single feminist I know who wishes to banish all men from Earth. That's not really our thing, darling. Such a goal would be not only irrational, but severely limiting of our social lives. After all, it's not like Dillon-who-bags-my-groceries is the reason I get paid 11,000 dollars less than my male colleagues. It's society at fault, not men specifically. We're all culpable.
Throughout history, people have bought into the notion that women and men are not only unequal, but not even deserving of the same the treatment. It's reinforced in every aspect of daily life, not just our relatively recent right to vote. When you play for a girls basketball team called the "Lady Warriors," you're being victimized by the system. That's your school saying that you're not the real team—representing them with honor and talent—you're just the girls. When the church you attend has a weight loss bible study for women, but not one for men, that's society at work again reinforcing the notion that women are meant to please to the male gaze. Sexism is everywhere and it's unending. It's like that pink slime from Ghostbusters II, popping up in all social settings, seething below our streets like a glowing mass of unseen douchery.
Just the act of calling us "man-haters," instead of feminists is patriarchy at work. Every time that is said, the cause of gender equality is devalued one more time. Rare is the teenage girl, riddled with insecurities and fear of social doom, that is willing to label herself a man-hater. If she's less likely to call herself a feminist, because that cute Liam Patel might judge her, then she's also less likely to speak up when she experiences gender inequality. The concept that "we shouldn't be so sensitive, because that's just the way things are," is internalized in one more young woman. This hurts everyone. Young men are just as at risk from this thinking, as seen by each "locker room culture" scandal. The more we say women are one thing and men another, the more none of us are allowed to fulfill our true potential.
Feminism isn't about hating men, it's about hating systematic discrimination. This should be everyone's fight, but we've corrupted the very language of our society with pervasive phrases like "man-haters", "bra burners," and "angry lesbians." Our pool of advocates is winnowed down with each usage, obscuring the real intent of feminism. I wear a bra every day, damn it! The girls can still be high and perky, while discrimination shrivels.
Equality should be the cause of all people. We're not here to take away rights, we're here to ensure everyone finally gets them.
– Grace
Obvious Issues With This Argument: A List
- Women have, in fact, laid down their lives for this country countless times. The only difference is that we were not explicitly allowed on the front lines by the United States until this year. It wasn't because we were lazy dilettantes who didn't want to fight, it's because we were again and again denied the opportunity. That's the patriarchy, darling.
- Women were not just one day given the right to blog or do anything. Those nice men in Washington didn't wake up one morning and decide women were finally ready to vote. We fought. Forever. We fought to not be property, we fought to own property, we fought to vote, we fought to work. We're still fighting for equal pay and an end to the objectification of our bodies and all those other systematic little inequalities that are so prevalent in our society that we consider them normal.

Note: With v3.4.0 the heart rate and cadence coloring as well as the bright theme and the new feature how long you are in which heartrate zone works only for 5 minutes (to test the features) or with a pin on the F5, F5X and FR935. You get a pin if you support my work (see section news).

The Yet Another Fields are a series of datafields which are dedicated to a certain kind of run. E. g. the Yet Another Running Field (YARF: https://goo.gl/Sif3fu) is designed for slow and medium fast runs whereas Yet Another Interval Field 2 (YAIF2: https://goo.gl/qJGFY0) is made specifically for interval training. This datafield - Yet Another Competition Field (YACF) - is optimized for competitions and fast runs.

If you like my work, you can donate the YARF development or just spend me a beer via PayPal here: https://goo.gl/qRb7EH

v0.8: A lot of new features:

 - Layout Changes: Cadence font size decreased, font size of elapsed time and distance increased

 - Due to the layout changes, the small battery level display was removed

 - New: User can set a battery level in the YACF settings at which the "CAD" label is replaced by a red "BAT" label

Hello developer. I have a problem. I was able to download your application in Garmin IQ applications with ease. In Garmin Express the YET ANOTHER COMPETITON FIELD app has been installed on my Garmin forerunner 935xt, but when I look at it, I can not use it on the device, it is located in the data fields, and from there I can not put it in widgets or applications. I wanted to use it so much because in the app that comes in the device only to put 4 types of data on the screen, only 4. I look forward to help, sorry for any inconvenience!

Really enjoyed using this data field and it has helped me achieve my times . Did have a slight issue at first with the data screen crashing during a second lap update due to not using a heart monitor( I have a garmin 230) but contacted the developer and he was excellent in responding to my emails and in resolving this issue. Data screen now works brilliantly when using it to pace my runs . Would highly recommend!

Realy a very good running data field. Amazing! Only thing I miss is inverted screen (white background) and configurable data field with switching some on/off or set the position. ;-)

The best all round single running field bar none- plus an incredibly responsive and nice developer- when I spotted a bug in the average time calculation, I raised it with him, he responded within the hour and had it fixed a day later- amazing! A role model of the best of connect IQ- thank you!

Biodiversity is extraordinary in southern Caucasus, but many animal and plant species are endangered. The region is marked by poverty and political tension. Partners from the EU support the region's governments in setting up capable agencies, but local decision-makers seem more interested in economic opportunities stemming from a new pipeline than in environmental matters.

When as a lad, I camped alone,
while tending to my wooly flock.
Now more than sixty years have flown,
would if I could, turn back the clock?
From time to time my mind replays
fond scenes of how those days were spent
engaging in the humble ways
that come from living in a tent.
In many ways, those times were good,
self-confidence, experience gained,
though doubting that today I could,
for progress has me luxury trained.
Could I, one hour before the dawn,
arise as coyotes greet the day
to light a fire then stumble on
to find a steed that's grazed away?
It mattered not how sweet the grass
how tall, nor tender, near the camp—
you'd swear that buckskin horse's ass
would trek a mile to make me tramp.
Some sights and sounds come drifting in
so sharp and real it seems that I
can taste and smell and hear the din
from eggs and bacon as they fry
Scoop out the breakfast from the pan
hot coffee perkin' in its pot
the dogs er smellin' hotcakes, an,
are hopin' that you've cooked a lot.
The pine bough bunk serves triple role
as table, bed and easy chair.
and hangin' from the center pole
your digs are lit by lanterns glare.
Designer cupboards proudly stand
displaying manufacturer's pride—
"Pure Sun Kissed prunes, the healthy brand!"
exclaim "These shelves are bona fide!"
Beside the Spam, boxed flakes of wheat
their corners gnawed some, here and there
Danged chipmunks likely had a treat—
no more that right that we should share.
A stove sits perched across the aisle
its coat of rusty weathered tin
ain't seen no polish for a while
top's bent and sides are wearin' thin
Still sittin' on the same old stone
that keeps its belly off the ground
we move, but it stays here alone
until next season rolls around.
'Bout once a week I'd keep an eye
a peerin' down the home ranch trail
expectin' Dad would soon come by
a fetchin' fresh supplies and mail.
It's lonesome? but I ain't afraid,
jist "shepherd up," get over it!
Six bits a day, I'm gettin' paid—
while we're at war—I'll do my bit!

Utah's Sam Jackson started herding sheep as a young boy. Sam has written, "My father, Alvin Jackson, was a 5th generation sheep rancher, or 'woolgrower' (a term more commonly used in the industry). The outfit was strictly a 'range' operation with the sheep not seeing the inside of a building during their entire life other that 20 minutes a year during shearing."
"I'd dare say there aren't many left who have spent time in the mountains living in a tent and being supplied by packhorse during the course of making a living. Although I hesitate referring to this as 'Roughing it' (for each generation has their own definition of the term) it may come pretty close, but for whatever it's worth, here are some recollections of time spent in my 'canvas digs' while herding sheep for my Dad during WW II…"
Read the rest of the story along with the poem in a "Western Memories" feature at CowboyPoetry.com.
Sam's poem, "Toast to the Sheepherder," is included on a CD from the Western Folklife Center, Songs and Stories from Sheepherding. Sam comments that the CD "documents the history of a nearly forgotten industry that had much more to do with the successful settling of the West than most folks realize."
Sam conceived and produced the National Cowboy Poetry Rodeo (NCPR), inspired by his belief in "excellence through competition." The NCPR is now headed by Dawn and Geff Dawson.
This Russell Lee (1903-1986) photograph, taken in 1940, is titled, "Sheepherder with his horse and camp outfit, Ouray County, Colorado." It is from The Library of Congress Farm Security Administration – Office of War Information Photograph Collection. Find more about it here.

Recipe: Apricot Glazed Chicken With Dried Plums and Sage
Apricot Glazed Chicken With Dried Plums and Sage
What You Need:
2. Trim any extra fat from the chicken pieces and transfer them to a large roasting pan or broiler pan. If you don't have a roasting pan that's large enough, use 2 identical 13 by 9-inch baking pans.
3. Toss all of the ingredients together with the chicken until the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Arrange the chicken pieces skin-side up in the pan, spaced evenly apart.
4. If you're looking to prepare in advance, you can do everything up to this point and cover the roasting dishes and refrigerate until you're ready to roast the chicken.
5. Roast, uncovered, until the tops of the chicken pieces are browned and the chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear, about 35 to 40 minutes.

Before Holy Qurbana
Holy Qurbana
27 Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?"
28 So they answered, "John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets."
29 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ."
30 Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.
31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."
