Quote: I rather like the idea adopted by Nikon where the pair are linked to follow on and the second card can also be used as back up file...
I was under the impression you could write the same image to both cards, write RAW to one and jpeg to another, or fill one card and then fill the other... That's the same as the 1DsMk3 as far as I know
However, none of this gives rhyme nor reason to your objetion to SD over CF cards... what odds does it make? Memory is cheap - memories are priceless.
Quote: I rather like the idea adopted by Nikon where the pair are linked to follow on and the second card can also be used as back up file, also to remember on the Ds lll a top raw file only gives you 36 images per Mb, not many shots unless you start using 8Mb cards which I think is to many to lose
I think you mean Gb not Mb. I don't think using such a large card on such a high res camera is a problem because as you you say you don't get so many on a card so you don't lose so many.
You can do the same linking on the Canon, either writing to the second card when the first is full or writing to both so you have a back up. CF cards are pretty reliable (unless you buy them cheap off Ebay). The option I would use would be to write Raw files to a 8Gb CF cards, and large Jpegs to a smaller SD card as a back-up.
Quote: Hey Im from Scotland, we go out in gales in T-shirts and short bro.
Is this 'cos you've spent all your money on photo kit ?
Quote: I know of a brand new D300 that was 2hrs out the shop when the card was forced in the wrong way and bust the camera.
...bet he wished he'd gone for SD cards
Stay lucky.....Mike
I read once that the main advantage of such an arrangement is:
1. Choice of card
2. Simutaneous writing of an image to both cards. Given the risk of card failure and accidental deletion - this is like an auto back up. For some pro's I imagine this can be a real life saver.
Still think 6 grand is a lot to pay for a camera... (sighs and goes off to buy a lottery ticket).
Certainly for me the facility of having two cards in a camera one backing the other up is highly advantageous at weddings; I sleep well at nights because of it.
I run a 1DMkII and 1DSMkII; a lot of wedding pros run the 5D which is a great camera but only one card therefore it can only ever for me be a back up body; I know that recovery software has improved but it can't take the place of backed up images.
I find the SD card slot handy in the MKIIN / MKIII as you can take the SD out and put it straight ito a PDA to wire images (not all PDA's have a CF slot). Granted I generally use a laptop but on jobs where that's not practical I shoot on an SD.
As for saving camera settings on a card, this works just the same on a DF as an SD
I like the two different formats - it's just extra flexibility. Remember, the 1D series was originally designed for photojournalists and canon listened to what we wanted when designing it. Someone somewhere must have seen the dual card slots of the old olympus E10 and though 'brillian, I wish my canon had that' and canon obliged.
I stand corrected Gb's was meant, well its nearing D day or should that be C day, as it will be the last camera I buy and for the want of larger file size plus being a Canon bod since the F1 its the Ds lll. The cards, well I except the fact that even 2 different cards are better than 1 what ever the formula,I think Sam's explanation is somewhere near it. thanks for the opinions
I prefer having two different slots rather than two of the same, for varying reasons - some of which have been mentioned - plus sd cards tend to be cheaper than cf cards these days too.
I can't see how that minor point would ever tip the balence as to what camera you're gonna buy considering all the other features that the cameras have ... to me whats far more important would be features like quality, iso performance, sensor cleaning, and lens focus tunability - which the canon has too.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Littlefield city hall gets a bad credit rating from Fitch. Fitch evaluated Littlefield's 1997 bonds with $1.2 million of debt still to paid. It says the city did make its February 2010 payment on time and is likely to make the upcoming August payment. However, Fitch warns investors that Littlefield needs a financial solution to the city's debt service soon.
Fitch grades Littlefield as a "BB" with a negative outlook. The majority of Littlefield's debt is for a city-owned detention center, which had been self-supporting. But, out-of-state prisoners left the facility in 2009, and with them so did the revenue. Despite the city's efforts, the Bill Clayton Detention Center remains vacant.
The 1997 bonds are only a portion of the city's debt.

"My mother made me a scientist without ever intending to. Every other Jewish mother in Brooklyn would ask her child after school, 'So? Did you learn anything today?' But not my mother. 'Izzy,' she would say, 'did you ask a good question today?'
That difference – asking good questions – made me become a scientist."
Isidor Isaac Rabi, Nobel laureate
As quoted in "Great Minds Start With Questions" in Parents Magazine (September 1993)
(via explore-blog)
It's well-established that women face social pressures that push them away from pursuing science as a life passion. It's also well-established that women who do stay in science face discrimination all the way up the ladder. Women are 50 percent of the population but hold less than a quarter of STEM jobs.

Medill Innocence Project
Published: Aug. 23, 2012
Updated: Aug. 27, 2012
The Illinois Attorney General is fighting an attempt by Northwestern University's Medill Innocence Project to gain access to medical records for an ongoing student investigation of an infant's death nearly a decade ago in Will County, Ill.
Northwestern, on behalf of the Medill Innocence Project, submitted a motion Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Chicago to obtain records, including MRI and CT scans—detailed medical images of the 3 1/2-month-old infant who was allegedly injured and stopped breathing while under the supervision of a daycare worker who was later convicted of first-degree murder. The daycare worker, Jennifer Del Prete, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2005 after a Will County judge found her guilty of allegedly shaking Isabella Zielinski in 2002 in Romeoville, Ill., about 30 miles southwest of Chicago. The infant died nearly a year later in what is considered a shaken-baby syndrome case.
Medill undergraduate students began looking into the case in March as part of an investigative journalism class supported by the Medill Innocence Project, an organization that probes potentially wrongful murder convictions.
Over several months, students tracked down and interviewed people connected to the case and pulled court, police and other public records. They also interviewed several medical experts. Students, however, have not been able to obtain medical records. When the infant stopped breathing, the only potential eyewitnesses at the daycare were children five years old and younger, according to police reports. And in light of medical advances over the past decade, the scans of the infant's brain may shed light on the cause of her death, said Northwestern Professor Alec Klein, director of the Medill Innocence Project.
In May, the Medill Innocence Project wrote to federal Judge Matthew F. Kennelly. "If and when the materials become a part of the public record, you will of course have access to them," Kennelly responded in an email. "But at this time, they are not a part of the public record, and I do not have them myself."
Del Prete's Chicago attorneys, Jodi Garvey and Pat Blegen, who obtained the medical records by subpoena, declined to release them unless the judge formally permitted it.
Within hours of the Medill Innocence Project's federal filing, the Illinois Attorney General responded by submitting motion requesting a protective order to keep the medical records confidential.
"Essentially we don't feel at liberty to disclose private medical records," said Ann Spillane, chief of staff for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan in an interview for this article. "At this moment, they've never been in a court file, and it's not clear that they will be in a court file at any point. So we feel we need to be very cautious about medical privacy and ask the courts to make a decision on this."
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 makes it illegal for health care providers and insurance companies to release medical records. Eric S. Mattson, the lawyer for Northwestern, sought to explain to prosecutors that HIPAA would not prevent Del Prete's lawyers from releasing the records.
"One of the fundamental principles of our system of government is that judicial proceedings must be open to the public," Mattson, a partner at Sidley Austin, said in Northwestern's petition.
"It is the Medill Innocence Project's mission to report on matters such as this case," Mattson wrote. "Access to discovery materials is critical to the Project's ability to conduct this reporting."
Spillane said Madigan's office plans to file written responses to contest the Medill Innocence Project's petition to intervene in the case and motion for access to the records. When asked why no protective order had been filed in Del Prete's federal appeal, which was submitted more than two years ago, Spillane said the Attorney General's office was in no rush to file it and that it typically does not see such medical records in federal appeals; Del Prete filed her federal habeas corpus petition in August 2010, challenging the legality of her imprisonment.
Del Prete's attorneys introduced scientific and medical research surrounding shaken-baby syndrome as evidence in the habeas petition. Since Del Prete's conviction, many experts have questioned whether the cause of an infant's injuries or death can be solely identified by what is known as the triad of shaken-baby syndrome: bleeding behind the eyes, brain bleeding and brain swelling.
According to court records, Isabella displayed retinal bleeding and brain bleeding after she stopped breathing under the care of Del Prete, who maintains she is innocent. The infant did not show any outward signs of abuse, according to hospital records. Del Prete's lawyers point to biomechanical research in recent years that shows there likely would have been such injuries, such as bruising or damage to the neck. The lawyers also highlight research explaining that an infant's pre-existing medical condition could be responsible for the triad seen in shaken-baby syndrome cases.
Isabella's father, Richard, declined to comment for this article.
Kennelly, the judge, is scheduled to consider the motions by the Medill Innocence Project and the Attorney General's office Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in federal court in Chicago. Del Prete awaits a hearing set for Dec. 17 on her federal appeal.

What Will Be Obama's Legacy-Obamacare?
Your legacy is what will define the type of person that you were for those who were not around in your time. If you are successful in defining yourself now, then your legacy will live on long after you do. There are some roles and occupations where a positive legacy becomes more pronounced in history. For instance, any president of the United States will end up with a well-known legacy, it is just up to them to define it. Now it is believed that President Barack Obama's legacy will be defined by his healthcare initiatives, but will his legacy be a good one?
"Nothing could be more important to Obama's legacy. The massive health care overhaul stands as a test of one of the central premises of his political philosophy: that government, carefully and judiciously applied, can be a positive force in the lives of the citizens it serves. Obamacare's success could shift Americans' attitudes about the role of government in society. Its failure could cement the notion that government isn't capable of doing big things and doing them well.
The public remains skeptical of the health care reform law. According to a HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted last Tuesday and Wednesday, just 20 percent of people believe they will be better off as a result. Forty-one percent expect to be worse off and 25 percent responded the law won't make much difference in their lives.
Very few of Obamacare's reforms have taken effect so far, and the president has scant months to ensure the law fulfills its promise to make guaranteed, stable health care coverage available to those without it. The most pivotal date of Obama's political life may have been Nov. 6, 2012 — the day of his reelection — but another, perhaps more consequential, date looms: Oct. 1, 2013, when poor and middle-class Americans will begin signing up for the health care law's new benefits."

One Response to What Will Be Obama's Legacy-Obamacare?
It was refreshing to hear Pres. Obama talk about the biggest threat we have in his Inaug. Speech — which is CLIMATE CHANGE. If this problem is not brought under control, we won't have to worry much about other issues…as the monster floods, fires, droughts, tornadoes, blizzards, etc. will take up all of our time.
Higher Health care costs and new viruses will be the result of a warmer planet. People fleeing wild weather disasters will find themselves having a lot more sicknesses.
He also mentioned working on helping those in POVERTY. That was also refreshing to hear. It is a very serious issue and the rightwing nuts who want to cut all the budgets are wrong about that. Poverty helps breed lots of other problems….such as: crime, failing schools, and diseases. Poverty will increase as more and more people suffer from the wild weather disasters.
There are some people on all sides of the political arena who cannot say a good word about Pres. Obama or his family…ranging from the White racists…to the Tea Partiers….to the Black Power groups…and so forth.

Know your audience, but ignore their advice.
Perhaps believing in good design is like believing in God, it makes you an optimist.
People are very open-minded about new things - as long as they're exactly like the old ones.
What I like best is a book that's at least funny once in a while…. What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.
If I had more time I would write a shorter letter.

Yeah, Gene, I gotta mostly agree. Except the Bush/Cheney thing where I would instead say that in fact Bush restrained Cheney about a dozen times at least (on account of they were controlled by different lobbies, to an extent). But yeah, as for the rest of your comments, this article is true in precisely the way that Powell stated to the UN "these here utterly ordinary reefer trucks are mobile biological weapons sites". A total, utter load of hogwash. In this case, the hog is being washed by the Zio-genocide machine. Pork, pork, pork. Gobble, gobble, gobble.
The underlying article exhibits as much hysteria as Michael Shermer and his crowd about Intlligent Design. Six instances of "support" in its various tenses further the "theory" (3 instances) of "suspicious" (3 instances) movements.
I direct eeryone to Shermer's article/video. I haven't watched it, because I read his drivel over a year ago. I'm sure it's filled chock full with "might have"s, "experts believe" (oops, they're not supposed to "believe", are they?), "could have"s, "data infers"'s, ad infinitum.
All of this about "an award winning journalist" (and we know who awards, don't we?), who apparently "said in 2004 that his sources confirmed that Saddam Hussein's WMDs were in Syria". Apparentl;y "A Pentagon document (conveniently undated) "reveals that an Iraqi dissident reported that 50 trucks crossed the border on March 10, 2003, and that his sources in Syria confirmed they carried WMD."
Right. George W. -may he rot in hell - Bush...no, Dick Cheney (since HE really ran Bush) had information that "IRAQI WMD" (gasp!) was in Syria in '03, a *&^R$%# REPORTER "reports it in '04, and CHENEY does nothing???

Book Description:
The greatly anticipated 3rd edition of EARTH SCIENCE AND THE ENVIRONMENT provides a rich overview of all Earth-related disciplines, including geology, meteorology, hydrology, oceanography, and astronomy -- providing a sense of how Earth functions as a single system composed of interacting subsystems. This text is designed for use by students in an Earth Science course with an environmental and/or Earth Systems emphasis. Thompson and Turk's commitment to the Earth systems approach is integrated throughout the text and is emphasized graphically in the new thematic flow chart, SYSTEMS INTERACTIONS, which illustrates the interconnectivity of the Earth's four spheres (geosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere). Environmental issues are emphasized and integrated into the text, and stunning multi-part visuals emphasize the beauty of Earth science. Together, Thompson, a teacher, researcher, and author, and Turk, a geosciences author, chemist, and adventurer, bring a wealth of earth science knowledge -- both in the classroom and first-hand -- to this vibrant, student-friendly, authoritative textbook. To further enrich the student experience, this edition is now fully integrated, on a concept level and with book-specific interactivities, with a FREE brand-new, student tutorial system called EarthScienceNow. EarthScienceNow is Web-based, assessment-driven, and completely flexible, offering a personalized learning plan based on each student's quiz results to focus students' attention on the concepts they don't yet understand. This superior teaching package, along with a text by an experienced and dedicated author team, provides students with fun, interactive learning opportunities.

From time to time, we ask our viewers, "What's bugging you?" One viewer said WE were bugging him. Specifically, he took issue with a story we did on Thursday on a texting and driving simulator.
His gripe? Why show a problem and not show a solution. When we got in touch with him, he invited us to join him on a drive along with his son to demonstrate an app which prevents drivers from talking and texting while they're behind the wheel.
When 18-year-old Alex Baty gets behind the wheel, he's focused on the road. "It's safer. I feel safer," Alex said. He credits the Celltrakr app that his father, Scott, installed on his cellphone. The Baty's showed us what happens when someone tries to call his Alex while he's driving. "It goes immediately to voice mail, see, it didn't even ring his phone," said Scott.
When Scott tried to text his son, "I get a text back, says I'm driving. I will contact you when I arrive."
About a year ago, Scott started his monthly 3 dollar subscription to Celltrakr. "What it does is it shuts down my kids when they're driving over 10 miles per hour. Will not let them make cell calls, will not let them call in or text in or out," Scott showed us. And if they try to disable the GPS in their phone so dad can't see what they're up to, busted. "It will notify me they've turned it off," said Scott.
Alex has been honest with his dad. "I don't like it. It's not fun being watched," said Alex. But at the same time, Alex admits that before this app was here he was guilty of texting while driving. "There's been a few scares." "Were those few scares enough to scare you out of glancing at your phone when it would beep or ring or texting while driving?" asked FOX 35. "Um. No. No," Alex answered.
While this might not be a cool app for a teen drivers, Alex admits that it takes away the texting temptation. "It's nice to not have the option to look," said Alex. And for this dad, who has two teen drivers behind the wheel, "It gives me the piece of mind their eyes are actually on the road and not looking at the cell phones. It's like dad sitting next to them even when I'm not there, like when the had their learners permits."
An important note here, the one number your teen can drive with while this app is enabled is 911 in case of emergency. Also, the app turns itself off once the GPS senses it has not bee going 10mph or more for 5 minutes. That means there is no time to text a red lights either.

Aleksandra Storms Into Semis
Published September 18, 2009 11:59
QUÉBEC CITY, Canada - Eight became four at the Bell Challenge on Friday, as the quarterfinals of the International-level tournament took to the indoor hardcourts of the PEPS Laval University Campus.
The first two to advance were Lucie Safarova and Julia Goerges, who made it past their underdog opponents in straight sets. No.8 seed Goerges started it all off with a 62 64 win over qualifier Lilia Osterloh, then No.4 seed Safarova stopping wildcard Bethanie Mattek-Sands, a finalist here last year, 63 64.
Safarova and Goerges will now square off in the semifinals. The two hard-hitters have never faced off before. Safarova is aiming for her seventh Sony Ericsson WTA Tour singles final (she is 4-2 in the first six). Goerges has never been to a singles final on the Tour; this is her third career semifinal, going 0-2 so far.
The other quarterfinals took place at night, starting with No.3 seed Aleksandra Wozniak's 61 61 rout of Alla Kudryavtseva and ending off with an abbreviated last quarterfinal, with No.5 seed Melinda Czink winning the first set against No.1 seed Nadia Petrova in a tie-break, 76(4), before the Russian retired due to a viral illness. Petrova was the defending champion at the tournament.
Czink has beaten Wozniak in all three of their previous meetings, but the first two came on the ITF Women's Circuit (one in 2005, one in 2007), and their only Tour meeting came earlier this year on grass in Birmingham, with the Hungarian edging the Canadian in about as tight a three-setter as you can get, 67(7) 75 75.

Before anyone makes the assumption that the Vikings have given up on quarterback Tarvaris Jackson consider this bit of information that came out this week at the Super Bowl.
Jay Glazer, an NFL information man for Fox Sports, told New York-based WFAN Radio that Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell recently talked to him about getting Jackson involved in a Mixed Martial Arts program this offseason. Glazer is very involved in MMA and because he is good friends with people such as Vikings coach Brad Childress teams often confide in him and ask for his help.
The Vikings' intention isn't to have Jackson switch careers but rather, according to Glazer, the Minnesota coaches saw how Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen benefitted from MMA training. "I had gotten Jared Allen in one two years ago," Glazer said. "We turned him from a big, stiff white guy to a guy that actually can come off the edge. He came in every day, was committed to us out in Arizona. They asked if we could do the same for Tarvaris to get his hips … really loosen up his hips. It looks like they are planning long-term with him."
By the way, Glazer also took some of the credit for the Vikings hiring of Mike Tomlin as their defensive coordinator in 2006. Childress had Tomlin on his coaching staff for one season before the Steelers hired him as their head coach. Tomlin came to the Vikings from Tampa Bay.
"Tomlin and I started a relationship years ago, I met him through Ronde [Barber] and John Lynch," Glazer said. "Then when Brad Childress needed a defensive coordinator he said, 'Hey, I know you're tight with a bunch of guys, who do you think would fit me best?' I hooked him up with Tomlin and those two guys hit it off immediately. It was a nice little match."

Just like the NFL, Zulgad and Scoggins go at it all year long -- on and off the field.

On Monday, hundreds of friends, family, co-workers and citizens attended the funeral of deputy Adam Davis to pay a final farewell to one of Bell County's finest.
Those who spoke remembered Davis as not just another deputy, but as a beloved father, son, and brother.
"Adam was not a typical rookie," Bell County Sheriff Eddy Lange said. "He was not out to write all the traffic tickets that he could and to put everybody in jail. Adam was about service and helping others. He was an inspiration to his shift. He's an inspiration to us all. He will be missed."
During the service, Davis was remembered for having a strong passion for being a deputy and also for how he served his community.
One of Davis' cousins, Juanita Gonzales, talked about how he was meant to be a deputy coming from a law enforcement family background and how he lived to serve the citizens of Bell County. She also talked about how strongly he will be missed by those who loved him the most.
"We were always together as cousins," Gonzales said. "We might not have had much, but we always had love and family, and that was always most important of all. Adam you will truly be missed, and we love you."
Everyone who knew Davis talked about the deep love he had for his son and how his passion for being a dad made him the man that he was. Those who knew him best said that his absence will not soon be forgotten.
"We grieve as a community because Adam's life was so rich with promise and yet was cut short," pastor Bob Crowder said. "We'll miss his great smile."
Following the service, a large funeral procession made up of dozens of police, fire, and emergency vehicles escorted Davis to his final resting place where he was buried at the Hillcrest Cemetery in Temple.
A benefit concert and auction that had previously been scheduled for Sunday, were both postponed. The Bell County Sheriff's Department said they will reschedule those events for a later date.

Over the next ten years, the "Internet of Things" will become a reality and change our lives. Where today the internet reaches virtually anyone at anytime, anywhere, the same will become true for "anything". The objects that inhabit our world will increasingly be connected.
Ericsson predicts there will be 50 billion new mobile connections by 2020. Through companies such as Ericsson and research from Swedish ICT, Sweden is at the forefront of this development and has a unique opportunity to take the lead. Swedish ICT has developed key technologies and a strong research base. For example, the operating system Contiki, developed by SICS, pioneered many new concepts now taken for granted in Internet Protocol-enabled, low-power smart devices. SICS, together with Ericsson, Cisco, and other major companies, co-founded the IPSO Alliance, an international driving force behind the Internet of Things.
Swedish ICT is now forming an Internet of Things Initiative to address this major challenge from multiple perspectives: technical infrastructure, applications, business models, users and society. The Internet of Things Initiative will leverage the unique expertise at the forefront of the developments in telecom, ICT, wireless embedded systems, and user-centric design. The Internet of Things is one of the key building blocks in the generic communication infrastructure needed to support smart grids, eHealth, and sustainable mobility of people and goods in a sustainable society.

Crowd-shaped: the future of online learning
Martin Belton, Managing Director, mylearningworx
In the US, the big new trend in learning and development has been the dramatic rise of crowd sourced learning providers. At least nine new companies have emerged in the last year, each attracting more than $7 million venture capital funding.
Although quite new, these crowd sourced learning hubs are already offering learners thousands of courses. They are also capturing the imagination of many more first-time e-learning authors, eager to profit from their knowledge or become a part of the new MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) which are appearing almost by the day, particularly in higher education.
The background to this rise is the failure of the internet search engines and social applications to deliver timely, authoritative answers to learning challenges – all too often leading students down frustrating blind alleys.
Crowd based learning hubs remedy that by providing an abundance of free or low cost structured learning programmes and easy to use tools to produce and offer them. This presentation looks at:
- Why Internet search and use of social media tools is failing learners
- What providers mean when they claim to be 'democratising' learning
- Why crowd-sourced learning demands a change of mind-set from learning professionals
- Why the corporate learning manager is the primary beneficiary of the rise of crowd-based learning

The acquisition of major weapon systems consumes a large share of the defense budget and receives extraordinary attention from lawmakers and the public. Although numerous studies have looked in depth at particular weapons programs, the multivolume series—History of Acquisition in the Department of Defense—is the first to provide an overarching account of defense acquisition from 1945 to the end of the 20th century.
The purpose of the defense acquisition history series is to document changes in acquisition policies, organizations, and processes, and to capture in one place the triumphs, failures, and lessons learned of major weapons programs since World War II. The five planned volumes of the series are organized chronologically, with individual chapters in each volume addressing the roles of OSD, the Army, Navy, and Air Force in the acquisition process, and thematic chapters covering critical topics, such as the defense industry, the acquisition workforce, contracting methods, and acquisition reform. The histories of individual weapons programs are interspersed throughout the volumes.
The Defense Acquisition History Project is an ongoing effort of the OSD Historical Office to complete the acquisition history series and to generate additional historical resources for the acquisition community. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) and the historical programs of each of the military services, most notably the U.S. Army Center of Military History, have provided support for the project. Publications and a variety of historical resources, including oral history interviews, key documents, and working papers, will be posted on this web page as they are completed.

Food table partly to blame for long lines at Missouri polling place
Many voters waited from 2 to 6 hours because there was not enough space at a St. Louis County polling place. Poll workers had set up a break area with a large table and chairs instead of using the limited space to set up all of the touch screen machines and paper ballot privacy stations that had been allocated to the precinct. Poll workers endure a very long day and surely need a place to have meals and take breaks. However, better management of the situation could have resulted in shorter waits for voters and lower incidence of voters leaving without voting (it is not known if any voters left this particular precinct without voting but that is the expectation when lines are very long). Late in the afternoon, the mayor of Velda City became aware that there were additional machines that could be used and offered other rooms in the building to accommodate them. They were set up at about 5:30 p.m. but waiting times remained long.

Considering I work in the outdoor industry I thought it would be relatively simple to get the conditions to review an ice axe. How wrong could I be? The Ronin Ice Axe has been travelling with me throughout Scotland this winter. Unfortunately, due to high winds whilst working, this has been on a lot of low level camping expeditions or trudging through soft wet snow on the tops. It has, however, been effortless to carry such a lightweight axe and its curved tubular shaft makes it more comfortable to store down the back than a straight shaft meaning it is always there for immediate use.
Fickle weather and bad timing on my part meant that we had some terrible conditions for testing out the axe. One memorable day saw us trudging through steep snow en route up Ben Wyvis. The wind had moved to the west and instead of the expected wind scoured slopes the higher temperatures were quickly melting the snow. We decided to put the axe through its paces nevertheless and sought out some crags and slopes to have a play on.
"...On grade one ground and low level mountaineering routes this axe comes into its own..."
When going up steep slopes it was simple to plunge. I was testing out a 70cm axe, which is much longer than my 5ft 4 frame would normally use (it's also available in a 60cm length), but I did discover that I would be more likely to put a walking pole away early and use the axe as I was not bent over double when going uphill.
On grade one ground and low level mountaineering routes this axe comes into its own as the curved shaft gives good clearance when the ground is steeper and combined with a substantial adze makes fighting one's way through a cornice, not quite pleasant, but certainly a little easier.
An amusing half hour was spent trying to set up conditions to do some ice axe arresting and the axe was very useful for digging out a trench, unfortunately the amount of water in the snow meant it was impossible to slide anywhere but again the curve in the shaft made it easier to end up in the proper position.
"...Blizzard conditions: perfect for building emergency shelters we thought and certainly the adze was very effective in clearing snow..."
Edelrid Ronin Ice Axe
The Ronin is a classic ice axe for glacier tours and general mountaineering. It has a hardened steel pick and (21°) curved tubular shaft to ensure penetration and precise placement on hard snow and ice. Its wide adze is ideal for cutting steps and the ergonomically-formed head makes for smooth plunging on the uphill. Optional modular adjustable finger rest and wrist loop. Leash included.
60 cm / 70 cm
Another day when the winds were barring access to the Cairngorm Plateau we went searching for some lovely, crisp neve on Meall a Buachille. This time conditions were more blizzard than sunshine and blue skies – perfect for building emergency shelters we thought and certainly the adze was very effective in clearing snow but the snow was too soft for us to have a cosy lunch stop in a nice warm cave.
We did have a go at step cutting and I found the curve in the axe helped give a lovely swing. We did not have really hard conditions underfoot to test the ice cutting abilities but the axe has enough weight in the head for its cut to be substantial.
Unfortunately the ice axe was not tested out in ideal conditions but it is so light and unobtrusive I did not mind carrying it with me. I like this axe and would definitely use it although one drawback for me is the lack of a rubber grip. Holding metal, even through good gloves on a cold winters day can at best be uncomfortable.
About Lorraine McCall
Lorraine's day job is in the hills, running walking holidays for tour company Wilderness Scotland in summer and winter, and doing development training work for the Living Wild project of the Venture Trust. Mainly based in Scotland, she's also guided walks in the Atlas mountains, China, Tibet, Nepal and Kilimanjaro.
"I love journeying by land and sea and worked for five years on board a sail training vessel (an old gaff rigg schooner) mainly off the northwest coast of Scotland which must be one of the world's top sailing grounds. I raised some money for this boat (Spirit of Fairbridge) when doing my walk (see article linked below). I also love sea kayaking and sometimes act as an assistant guide on kayaking trips. I do a bit of climbing - prefer winter to summer, but never get very good because I do not train. One of my best memories was climbing the Orion Face in really wild conditions where the whole mountain seemed to be rushing down as we were moving up; feeling very small but part of something much bigger teetering across the ice fields in the middle of this big face. But my first love is probably disappearing on multi day trips with a backpack."

Let's keep walking with faith…
"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
I asked for strength,
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong;
I asked for wisdom,
And God gave me problems to learn to solve;
I asked for prosperity,
And God gave me brain and brawn to work;
I asked for courage,
And God gave me dangers to overcome;
I asked for love,
And God gave me people to help;
I asked for favours,
And God gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted - I received everything I needed.
My prayer has been answered!
This is a prayer usually said after Holy Communion.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me; Blood of Christ, inebriate me; Water from the side of Christ, wash me; Passion of Christ, strengthen me; O good Jesus, hear me; within your wounds, hide me; let me never be separated from you; from the evil one, protect me; at the hour of my death, call me; and bid me to come to you; that with your saints, I may praise you forever and ever. Amen.

AOptix Technologies, a Campbell, Calif.-based maker of identity verification systems, recently released a software development kit for biometric identification technologies for Apple's iOS mobile operating system. That move, combined with the introduction of fingerprint biometrics in the new iPhone 5S and rumors of a biometric application for Google Glass, will serve to increase interest in all biometrics, including iris recognition, says Nandini Bhattacharya, a senior research analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Apple, AOptix and Google Glass are just the beginning of this trend. Other mobile manufacturers are likely to soon follow," she says.
The FBI is on the cusp of adding iris images to its database of criminal fingerprints. As part of it Next Generation Identification (NGI) project, which is gradually modernizing the aging Integrated Automated Fingerprint ID System, the agency plans to launch a pilot next summer that could lead to the creation of a nationwide iris identity database for tracking criminals.
Under the lid
Unlike the retina scans you see in the movies, which shine a bright light through the pupil to capture images of blood vessel patterns at the back of the eye, iris recognition uses a camera to take a photograph of the iris -- the colored portion of the eye.
During fetal development, the eye goes through a process called chaotic morphogenesis that gives each iris its unique appearance. "When the optic nerve comes out of the brain, it essentially pumps out the eyeball, which rips and tears. Striations in the iris are the result of that," says Neil Norman, founder of Human Recognition Systems (HRS) in Liverpool, England.
Iris recognition systems are extremely accurate; they're 100,000 times less likely to produce a false match than facial recognition systems, Grother says. Other benefits: the matching process is very fast and, unlike faces, the eye doesn't change much with age.
NIST recently completed a study on the subject of iris recognition. While face photos on passports are generally replaced every five or 10 years, "the iris is good for decades," Grother says. And because each eye has a unique pattern, vendors offer dual-eye systems, such as the one used in Symantec's Vault, for even higher accuracy. "Ten fingerprints are the gold standard for identification. A pair of irises are at least equivalent to eight or 10 fingers, and maybe more," Grother says.
But accuracy also depends on the integrity of the data, he cautions. While iris recognition technology doesn't require physical body contact (which is considered a plus), it does require the cooperation of the individual, and the type of system used can greatly affect accuracy. "If I take the image with a cellphone camera, the error rate will be much worse," Grother says.
Iris recognition systems need to overcome environmental issues such as reflections, bright sunlight, thick eyeglasses, colored contact lenses and eye conditions that may cause dilation or other changes in the iris. Today, "state-of-the-art iris recognition systems can deal with all of these," says Brian Martin, director of biometric research at MorphoTrust, a developer of identity verification systems in Billerica, Mass.
Functionally, iris recognition cameras aren't much different from digital SLR cameras, except that the light filters over the sensors allow near-infrared light to pass through instead of visible light, says Martin.

A gym teacher in NYC said a 6-year-old student beat him up, fracturing his ankle and injuring his knee.
That brings the question as to what can teachers and school administrators do to protect themselves and other students from a student who becomes physically violent.
School leaders tell Heartland News that training is the key.
Scott City Middle School Principal Michael Umfleet said some of their teachers go through training on how to diffuse a violent situation. He said they learn important tactics in dealing with violent students, like how to properly restrain a child in a way that won't bock the student's airway.
Dr. Sherry Copeland, the Assistant Superintendent at Cape Girardeau Public Schools said some of their teachers go through a similar training.
"We are very proactive in learning how to deescalate situations, and I think that's where it starts, do not push a student into a corner where the only way out is back at you, learning how to listen to the students of course, and setting high expectations for behavior for our students," said Copeland.
She said school officials work to understand why the student acted violently, and want to prevent any situation from becoming physically violent.
"Everybody knows the expectations of behavior, whether that's on the playground, in the cafeterias, on the busses, in the classroom, walking down the hall, they know those expectations, we practice those, how do you act on the bus, we get the students on a bus, this is how you sit," said Copeland. "And you think those things come normal to students, but not all students have been exposed to that, so we actually have to teach behavior."
Copeland said district policy allows administration to take a few different actions. They can have a conference with the student; give detention, in-school suspension, or out-of-school suspension for 1 to 180 days. In severe cases, they can expel a student.
Copeland said to decide on an action, administrators will look at past discipline records, the age of the student, and the level of the assault.
Since assault is a crime, Copeland said a teacher can press charges against the student if it reaches that level.

Bringing the Turbo XS boost controller into the picture increased pressure from 16 psi to 19 psi. Even though the O2 voltage was still in the .90 range, the injectors were reaching their limits. They could be partially clogged or dirty. The boost adjustment netted 319.8 hp and 348.7 lb.-ft or torque. The Galant gained 48.3 hp and 46 lb.-ft of torque. Since inception of the build-up series, output has rocketed from 190.6 hp and 198.2 lb.-ft of torque to 319.8 hp and 348.7 lb.-ft of torque, a total gain of 129.2 hp and 150.5 lb.-ft of torque. Wow.
What's next for our Galant? We have not installed the TMO ECU and plan to use it for the next round of modifications. So far we have once again been able to elude fuel cut, temporarily. But the added feature of an increased rev limiter will become necessary with an even larger turbo and camshaft swap. Also part of the Galant's future are an upgraded ignition, T3/T4 Garrett turbo kit, a set of 550cc injectors, a set of Crower street grind cams and possibly an intake and throttle body. With these proposed mods, DDP should smash the 400-whp goal to bits.
Stay tuned.

The lights went out at Virginia Tech Thursday as part of a program to see just how much control the university has on its energy output in an effort to prepare for future emergencies. More than 50 people helped switch the campus over to emergency generators, unplug appliances, and shut down AC units for the drill.
"Everybody knows what they're supposed to do when they get that call," said Steven Shelor, the HVAC controls supervisor.
Virginia Tech got paid to prove they can reduce their energy usage on demand. For one hour, they had to drop from using 26,000 kilowatts to 19,000 kilowatts. It's a program run by the independent company Energy Connect, which is contracted by the state to prepare for emergencies.
"They have to give us at least an hour's notice [if] there's a grid emergency, a generation plant in trouble, [or] too much load on the grid [and they] need [us] to drop," said Shelor, who can shut down more than 100 HVAC systems on campus with the click of a mouse. "It's pretty neat to be able to do that on demand."
Last year, around 2 p.m. on a really hot day, they got a call telling them they needed to reduce their electricity use from 4-8 p.m. because a nuclear plant went down.
"We had to do this thing for real last summer," said Fred Selby, the VT energy manager who helped bring the program to campus. "We weren't sure how that was going to go, and everybody responded very well and we were successful in meeting the actual emergency condition."
Selby says in the last four years they've only had the emergency call once, but they could be called on up to 10 times from June through September.
"It's an opportunity for us to bring in some additional revenue," Selby said, by proving they can reduce energy use. In the last four years, they've raised more than $644,000 for the general fund: $162,210 in 2010; $205,380 in 2011; $138,521 in 2012; and $138,718 in 2013.
"It helps the college to get that money, plus we feel like we're doing our part to help the energy suppliers to be able to control their load" Shelor said.
Virginia Tech says they were able to drop 25percent of what they were using just by unplugging items on campus like phone chargers and turning off lights.
APCo has a similar program with customers who use a lot of electricity.

Lady Sarah Black always knew her destiny was to become the sultry singing siren of the most gothic and grievously macabre performing ensemble and to compose musical masterpieces about all things detestable, deviant, disturbing…and dare one say, delectable.
So the Lady Black set about becoming the accomplished composer and chanteuse we all worship and adore. But she was faced with a serious predicament, barring her path to becoming the world's foremost Scary and Creepy (yet hauntingly irresistible) Gothic Diva. She needed another corruptible soul to help her realize her nefarious goals. Searching through the candidates at the conservatory, Sarah finally found a worthy specimen: an easily manipulated apt and talented pupil that was perfectly suited for her gothic performing needs. And to carry her luggage.
Unfortunately, Braxton Ballew played double bass.
Nobody's perfect.And so, Valentine Wolfe was born: Purveyors, Performers, and Composers of the finest Victorian Chamber Metal for Voice, Double Bass, and Electronics. Proudly providing elegant decadence for Living, Dead, and Otherwise, since 2006.
Valentine Wolfe is an electronic music group that features operatic female vocals, solo double bass, and electronica driven beats. You'll hear elements of metal, industrial, goth, trip-hop, j-rock, and classical blended together in a divine cocktail we call Victorian Chamber Metal. We like to think if you enjoy artists like Emilie Autumn, Apocalyptica, Nightwish, and Iron Maiden, you'll like us.
The boring-yet-accurate-biography:
Braxton Ballew and Sarah Black have been composing and performing music together as ValentineWolfe since 2006. Both hold graduate degrees from the University of Georgia, where they studied electronic composition with Dr. Leonard V. Ball. In addition, Sarah completed her Masters degree in composition studying with Dr. Adrian P. Childs. She currently studies voice with Lisa Barksdale from Furman University. Braxton holds a DMA in Double Bass Performance and has studied with Milton Masciadri, Albert Laszlo, and James Barket.

The Invisible Heroics of IPL - Bowling!May 23, 2012
A warm evening at Wankhede not too long back, as Dale Steyn roared in with the ball, watching him closely was his South African colleague on the other end, the $400,000-worth Richard Levi. As the Mumbai Indians fans' cheers reached a crescendo, the 130-plus kmph delivery, seam pointing at first slip, bounced at good length and broke through the batsman to strike the timber. This first ball of the innings stunned the crowd, and Steyn celebrated by feigning a yawn as if to say, 'routine business'!
Class of '98! IPL and the joy of yesteryear starsMay 16, 2012
There is a reason why Googling 'Sachin Sharjah 98' shows more than a dozen videos of Tendulkar's twin blitzkriegs, many of them having garnered more than 100,000 views. There is also a reason why a cricket fan, having clicked on one of these, ends up watching many related clips featuring Jadeja, Kambli, Azharuddin or for that matter, Imran, Waugh or Hadlee. Cricket nostalgia received its biggest boost with YouTube, but with the Indian Premier League from the past five years, it has entered a different realm altogether.
Not over until the last over - IPL 2012' fascinating finishesMay 16, 2012
Formula 1 has its final few laps, football has the golden goal. Cricket on the other hand, whose gentlemanly games don't really have a similar relationship with adrenaline, only occasionally feature half this excitement. That said, the gentleman's younger, glitzier cousin, Twenty20, has been giving a dose of the above to millions of excitement-starved fans ever since the famous final of its first World Cup in 2007.

Bible Studies for Students - Week of Dec. 26
No Secrets: Jesus is a man on a mission
Verse: John 10
John 10:24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly."
Every few years an author or scholar or even a movie maker raises new questions—or the same old questions—about Jesus' identity. Often such portrayals show him wandering around the earth in a daze, trying to figure out why he came and what he is supposed to be doing.
Nothing could be further from the account given us by John, Jesus' closest friend. According to John, Jesus was a man on a mission who knew exactly what he had come to Earth to accomplish. John states his purpose in writing very clearly: to get people to believe in Jesus the Messiah (see John 20:31). His book selectively features incidents from Jesus' life to demonstrate who Jesus is.
Shepherd of Israel
"I am the gate," Jesus says in chapter 10; "I am the good shepherd" (John 10:9,11). Jews who hear these words undoubtedly think back to Old Testament kings like David, who were fondly thought of as the shepherds of Israel. Unlike modern-day shepherds, who use dogs to drive their flocks, shepherds in Jesus' day walked ahead of the sheep, calling them to follow; the sheep would respond only to a familiar voice.
In the Old Testament, God is also called the "Shepherd of Israel" (Psalm 80:1). In claiming to be the good shepherd, Jesus is asserting his leadership over a flock he is willing to die for. When some challenge him bluntly, "If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly," Jesus answers them with equal bluntness, saying, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:24,30).
The pious Jews, understanding Jesus all too well, pick up stones to execute him for blasphemy. Not even these hostile reactions surprise Jesus, though. He expects opposition, even execution. As he explains here, a truly good shepherd, unlike a hired hand, "lays down his life for the sheep" (John 10:11). This chapter explains why he makes that choice.
