Western Snowy Plovers
There will be a beach closure during the 2014 4th of July holiday weekend for the protection of the threatened western snowy plover. In 2013, there were eleven plover chicks at the beginning of the holiday weekend; three survived to Monday. Plovers can be impacted in a number of ways by heavy human activity in their habitat, including increased flushing caused by humans or pets, and by activities that draw corvids (ravens, crows, and jays) to the beach, such as poor food management. The closure will extend from Abbotts Lagoon south to the North Beach parking area.

Soaking in sunshine and sipping wine
After a quick month or so of all the rain we got all winter – most of March, beginning of April – the more recent weekends have seen many a happy hotel guest enjoying long, adventure filled days of spring sunshine followed by lounging out back here at the lodge in the Adirondacks, reading, sipping wine and soaking up the serenity of the Olema Creek flowing on through as the sun sets over the Inverness Ridge.
Seems there isn't a better time to be out in the area, weekdays even, when the crowds are down. The northerly migration of whales have been coming by out at Chimney Rock, and at the lighthouse, hugging close to the shore with newborns in tow – truly a sight to behold. Wildflowers are in abundance throughout the park in every color of the rainbow, simply a stunning display this year considering how little winter rain we got overall. Hiking trails are in great shape, beaches pristine, and the Farmhouse Restaurant here on the property is enjoying a wonderful bounty from many a local ranch, farmstead and fish purveyor – per usual!
So head on up the coast – or down – and check us out in Olema for a sound sleep and hearty breakfast in the morning before heading out to see what the park has in store. We'll toss a log or two on the fire for you in the evening, Scrabble provided no extra charge, and serve the coffee up hot and strong when you awake!

Summer on the Bay
Have covered lots of ground of late hiking the local trail system in the National Park, so decided yesterday to celebrate the arrival of summer by taking to the water for a fresh natural perspective. Embarked on a kayak paddling tour with a couple of friends, putting in on the beach just out in front of the Tomales Bay Resort (our sister property) and headed up toward Marshall, soaking in the morning sun and the spectacular views in all directions.
Tomales Bay is a scenic coastal inlet, well-protected by the Point Reyes Peninsula, and if you can get out on a morning paddle the waters are often supremely calm this time of year, and the setting serene. There are several deserted beaches to choose from for a snack spot so we pulled up onto one for the late morning high-energy repast and some Vitamin-D rays!
Saw an osprey overhead, just after lunch, doing its fish-eagle thing which is always mesmerizing to witness. Several bat rays snaked beneath the boats along the way and a small leopard shark stayed with us for a minute or two as well. All the while we kept a keen scope on a herd of Tule Elk through the binoculars, quietly grazing in the hills off the west shore of Tomales Bay just north of Inverness.
After pulling out back at the Resort we headed off to Hog Island Oyster Company for a couple dozen of our finest local delicacy, along with a bucket of beer to wash 'em all down! And who said this wasn't pure paradise out here in wonderful West Marin?!

Summertime yet?
Technically summer doesn't begin until the 21st of June, although with Memorial Day weekend already come and gone it sure feels like summertime around here already! Maybe we'll call these the long, sunny days of late spring (with just a wee bit of rain sprinkled in) and simply enjoy each one as it comes, here in our little corner of paradise.
Took a city friend on a lovely 10-mile loop out in the park today and didn't see another soul. Navigated around a couple of trailside banana slugs, and had an inquisitive young bobcat check us out for a split-second before darting into the underbrush, but not another person along our four-hour-plus journey.
Parked at Sky Trailhead just off Limantour Rd. and came across the ridge in the billowing mist, then took off for Coast Camp by way of Woodward Valley Trail, a classic Northern California mountains-meet-the-sea scenario. The wind was up a bit along the water so we just tucked in behind the dunes at Sculptured Beach for a well-deserved and relaxing sand-free picnic lunch, waves ever-present, crashing in the background.
Headed up Fire Lane Trail – always the ultimate quad-burner – and back up onto the ridge, and Sky Trail, to finish out the trek. And then, who said Happy Hour had to be in a bar, right? So we drove on down to Limantour Beach to catch the setting sun with a cool, celebratory, clean and crisp toast of some local Sauvignon Blanc in hand.
Guess we have to admit we don't have it so bad, to live and work in and among the myriad wonders of West Marin, and the majestic beauty of the local landscape out here at Point Reyes National Seashore. And summer has yet to arrive?! Many more perfect days like these to be had in the coming months so come on out and take a look for yourself – plenty of pristine natural splendor to be experienced hereabout… so we'll share!

Spring Definitely Sprung!
Northern California spring rains were unrelenting this year which can only mean the current and still oncoming wildflower season here in Point Reyes will be nothing short of spectacular! Can attest after an early season trail walk yesterday in the forest of the National Park.
Hiked out to Alamere Falls from the Palomarin Trailhead and the cascades are running swiftly, stairstepping their way down to Wildcat Beach with a flourish. Just an amazing display of natural beauty it all was!
Lavender was bursting trailside throughout and Blue Ceanothus shrubs were in full bloom as well. Lots of California Poppies everywhere you look with Lilac and Hartweg's Iris mixed in too!
The summer crowds have yet to descend upon us here in West Marin so the mid-week hikes leave one in almost complete solitude on many a day-hike loop in the local park. Saw maybe three or four folks down at the beach appreciating the sweeping falls and a couple of thru-hiking backcountry boys headed to Bolinas but that was it on a spectacular, ten-mile, sunny Wednesday afternoon jaunt. Simply stunning!
February 17, 2011
Rain, rain – It's OK!
The Northern California winter rains are having their way with us here again, although not like it hasn't been expected! Seems we had a couple of weeks of consecutive, cool sunny days and folks were flocking from all across the Bay Area to get in some coastal fun before this most recent, wet, wintry blast. Many recent lodge guests got out to the lighthouse to catch the whales headed on by, or the elephant seals out at Chimney Rock doing their pupping thing.
Has actually been a busy season as a result of several, super, sun-filled weekends strung together, which was nice for all of us out here in West Marin, as well as our many visitors from near and far. The crew at The Farmhouse Restaurant has been rockin' it and many a hotel guest is returning from lunch or dinner raving about the culinary experience. Keep up the good work over there guys!
Well, just another month or so until Daylight Savings Time lengthens our daily outdoor playtime, and then spring is officially just around the corner too! But why wait? As always, nature abounds in this remote outpost we locals call home, and there's no better time to get out and hike than just after a good rain storm which brings out the lush , green, forested environment of these parts just brilliantly! The local creeks and are all swollen, and humming our favorite nature song, while the storied forest mists are rising, as if from so many little chimneys, up through the trees.
Hope to see you soon, walking a trail, strolling a Point Reyes Station sidewalk, or enjoying that first post-hike pint in the lounge over at the Farmhouse here on the property.

Ringing in the New Year
The first spate of heavy winter rains has passed as we move into the New Year out here in Olema. The creeks are running high and singing loudly – always the best music – while the morning dew of fall has become the meadow glazing frost of winter.
Solstice has come and gone so the sun sets just a bit later with each passing day allowing plenty of time to get in step on many a backcountry hiking loop. As well, the annual gray whale migration has arrived out in the National Seashore historical lighthouse area, while several elephant seals can be viewed daily at nearby Chimney Rock. Both events certainly always worthy of a pilgramage out to the scenic Point Reyes coast!

Fall Some More
Mid-October already? Wow! Summer may have now faded off in the rearview mirror, though one wouldn't know it by the incredible weather we've been having out here in Olema of late!
Currently lots of young folks saying "I do!" up in these parts as we trip headlong into fall here at the Lodge. So many collective memories, of the season now past stay with us, of course, moments spent by all of us with guests from nearby to far away.
Seems the reward here on the Front Desk is the time any one of us may have enjoyed while listening to folks' stories of days well-spent beachcombing, or hiking the expansive forests of the next-door National Park, maybe wildlife encountered, or meals and music enjoyed out here in sleepy West Marin. For those of us on the hospitality side of the equation, the return we hope to readily offer might be personal anecdotes or insight, local folklore, or adventure tales shared, new and old.
So with Indian Summer now in full swing, the cool coastal fall weather right behind it, or the winter rains to follow, we say bring it on as it all simply enhances the mood of conversation, nostalgia and romance we hope to be all about here at the Point Reyes Seashore Lodge!
Come on out and say Hello no matter the season. We're here to greet you and warmly so!

The Northern California spring rains have finally abated giving way to the much anticipated, long-awaited lazy days of summer here on the West Marin coast. Out here in Olema we are seeing vacationing tourists from all corners, as well as avid local enthusiasts of every endeavor.
Seems these many seasonally splendid days, stacked endlessly upon one another of late, with nothing but clear skies and warm sunshine, lend themselves perfectly to getting outside and actively pursuing one's fix for fun and frolic in the great outdoors. The road cyclists, mountain bikers, birders, hikers, kayakers, motorcyclists, beachcombers and stargazers are all here among us, in addition to the writers, readers and lovers of all things food, wine and nature… or just one another!
Being new to the area, and as well to the hotel business, I can honestly say it has been an experience of learning, wonder and amazement being in the midst of the ever-changing eclectic mix of dynamic folks we see here at the lodge. Our wildlife watch board has several entries daily and guests seem to be enjoying myriad fulfilling experiences at local eateries, on the trail, the road, the water or even right out back here by the creek with a good book, sipping wine and soaking in the setting sun.
So, whatever your adventurous summertime whimsy – come on out to the coast and visit us soon!

As fall settles in and the hours of light grow shorter they also grow more precious. The slant of the fall sun and the early rains give everything in the natural world a sparkle. That slanted light makes me take a deep breath of comfort, breathing in the season.
This is one of my favorite times to hike in the park. Hikes are necessarily shorter and more intense, just like the light. One of my favorite hikes for this time of the year is a loop starting at the Sky Trail parking lot off Limantour Road.
Start fairly early to use every moment of daylight. Follow the trail going downhill parallel to the road. Shortly cross the road and pick up the Bayview Trail. This section of trail is a bit like walking in an enchanted forest with changing glimpses of Drake's Bay. The trail is lined with Bishop Pines that are exactly the same age, grown up after the Point Reyes fire. The Bishop pine is a fire species whose cones only release seeds in the intense heat caused by a fire, although you can sometimes hear them popping open during a heat wave.
At the end of the Bayview trail, take Muddy Hollow Road, cross Limantour road and continue on the road past the youth hostel to Clem Miller Environmental Center. This is a good place to stop and eat your lunch. Be sure to bring some of those bitingly crisp fall apples to go with the red leaves of the poison oak thickets.
From the Environmental Center pick up the Laguna trail to take you back to your car. This is another sweet trail, winding gently uphill through mixed forest and meadows with more glimpses of the ocean. Let the hill slow your steps and savor all of the subtle fall colors, admire the late afternoon light, look for some early mushrooms, listen to the sound of your own breath, feel the mist or sun on your face. This hike makes me feel deeply grateful for the intricate beauty of this land.

When we store our headlamps, currently we store them with the batteries. Should they instead be stored separate from the batteries?
I would highly recommend storing all gear with batteries removed.
Bonus Protip: Battery acid can be removed with a solution of baking soda and water. Soak the encrusted item in this (with battery removed) then allow to dry thoroughly before re-applying electricity. (Note -- might not be a good idea with higher-tech devices.)
There are two possible reasons not to store batteries in a headlamp that won't be used for a while: Residual current draw, and batteries leaking and destroying the headlamp.
To make things waterproof, some headlamps don't have a regular mechanical switch to turn them on and off during normal operation. For example, mine draws a few µA when "off". That's still very little for a pair of AA batteries, but when I'm storing the headlamp without a specific use expected within a few days I turn it off completely. On my headlamp, that means popping the watertight cover and moving a jumper. In that case it is truly off and the issue of residual current is eliminated. I don't know if all headlamps work that way.
Depending on how the on/off switch works, you may also want to remove the batteries just so that they don't get killed if the unit is accidentally turned on while it's in storage. If you keep it in the car, for example, consider that it could get jostled about. I was reminded the hard way last summer to do this with the camera battery when packed in luggage on a airplane. Somehow the camera had gotten turned on in transit, and the battery was dead when I went to use it. Fortunately it was rechargeable and I brought two spares, but it's still something I won't do again.
Old batteries leaking and destroying equipment isn't the problem it used to be. The old carbon-zinc cells were notorious for this, but that technology hasn't been used in a long time. Nowadays, this is not likely to be a issue.
So all that is a long way of saying, no, I wouldn't bother remove batteries from a headlamp that is being stored someplace where it won't be molested until the next use.
The only time I remove the batteries from my headlamp is when I'm bringing it as luggage on a airplane. I made my LED headlamp myself. A few years ago I was flying to Arizona using my backpack as checked luggage. A short while after I got to the terminal waiting to board the plane, I heard my name being announced over the PA system, requesting me to go to the ticket counter. There were two TSA agents waiting for me when I got there. They asked what I had in my backpack. I started listing stuff, like camera equipment, and when I got to the LED headlight they both said "that's it". I told them I was a electrical engineer and had made it myself. They actually found that rather amusing and said I was fine. As one of the agents was escorting me back to the terminal, I asked what I should have done to make it look less suspicious. He said I hadn't actually done anything wrong and they were just checking. Then I asked if it would have been better if I had taken the batteries out and put them in a side pocket somewhere. He thought about it and said, yes, that would probably have raised less suspicion. That's what I've done from then on and I haven't had another "encounter" with the TSA since.

Hip Flexor Contractures & LBP in Above-the-Knee Amputations
Patients with above-the-knee amputations (AK or AKA) are particularly prone to developing hip flexor contractures. Not to be confused with muscle tightness, contractures are a permanent shortening of tissues which cause deformity or distortion.

With Low-Back Pain, Sometimes Little Things Matter
Typical treatments for low back pain involve large muscles like the quadratus lumborum, iliopsoas, and piriformis. However, there are situations when a very small muscle, the multifidus, can play a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment of low back muscular or spinal injury.
Billing Timed Services
Q: I do not always use physical medicine services but in my state I do have a scope of practice that allows me to provide many of these services. I am trying to understand what "direct one-on-one patient contact" means in relation to physical medicine services.
In This Current Age of Anxiety
Anxiety, also referred to angst or hysteria, goes by many names. One, popularized by the sagacious Zhang Zhong Jing, who many practitioners of Chinese Medicine may be familiar with, is known as Restless Zang/Fu disorder.
Holistic Skin Care and Modern Technology
Anti-aging is a concept that we hear in reference to skin rejuvenation and growing older on a daily basis. Aging begins as soon as we are born; therefore "pro-aging" is embracing all stages of life gracefully, with vitality, wisdom, joy, and gratitude as the goal.
Romantic Love
Sleepless nights, anxiety, mood swings, euphoric energy bursts, obsessive thinking, and a strange feeling in his chest. That is what Matt was experiencing when he first entered my practice. Rather than being concerned, he was loving every minute of it.
Building Bridges with Discipline
As practitioners of traditional Chinese herbal medicine, our role is to educate patients and medical practitioners about the various safety aspects of our medicine. Medical doctors that embrace Chinese medicine want to collaborate and include Chinese herbal medicine in more aspects of clinical care to support their patients.
Discovery: Finding Insights and Each Other in Different Disciplines
Recently I've been thinking about all sorts of things which are hidden from our daily direct experience. That general category is what links nearly everything that catches my attention and then demands some kind of investigation.
Adrenal Problems
One of the most common trends to see in clinical medical practice and public health is the cycles of health "buzzwords." These come and go depending upon the current cultural zeitgeist. One year, "parasites" are causing all the issues, and the next year it's "candida."

Keeping Malpractice Allegations at Bay
It has been suggested that in the litigious environment in which we live, the practice of chiropractic should be defensive and practitioners should constantly be watching their backs. An element of defensive practice is a good idea.
Distal Style Treatment of Neurogenic Pain
Treat locally or distally? This question has frequented my thoughts for the treatment of pain throughout my acupuncture career. Each style has strengths and weaknesses, thus the versatile practitioner would do well to forgo dogmatic adherence to any one style in deference to the needs of the individual patient.
Billing One-on-One, Direct Patient Contact
This is often misunderstood and leads to trepidation when documenting and subsequently billing timed services.
Constructing Our Reality, Part 2
My last article discussed perception and its relationship to the primary channels. Before we get to the channels most commonly used to treat sensory disturbances, the small intestine and triple heater, we should first talk about the bladder channel.

Massage Today Wins National, Regional Awards
By Editorial Staff
MPA Media's Massage Today has been named the Silver Medalist for Investigative Reporting in the prestigious National Azbee Awards of Excellence competition by the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE).
ASBPE is the nation's largest organization for business-to-business publications and drew hundreds of entries in both editorial and graphics categories.
The national award was for reporting on the political machinations and questionable data that went into a California anti-prostitution law targeting massage therapists.
As a direct result of the series of stories on the now infamous AB1822, the law was effectively gutted and rewritten. The articles were edited and written by Associate Editor Christie Bondurant and Editor-in-Chief Ramon G. McLeod.
"The most gratifying thing about working on this story was that the massage therapy community became deeply directly involved in stopping a law that basically, and unfairly, lumped legitimate, licensed practitioners with prostitutes." McLeod said. "We made it possible for the community to directly contact the key players involved and they did...in massive numbers."
Massage Today also won a Silver Medal in ASBPE's Western Regional Azbees for Investigative Reporting on the collapse of the International Massage Association, a major player in the massage insurance industry. Those stories were also written and edited by Bondurant and McLeod.
MPA Media's Acupuncture Today was additionally awarded a regional Gold Medal for Best Contributed Column. The award was for "Not The Emperor's Accupuncturist" authored by Gregory Ross, and edited by Associate Editor Tina Beychok and McLeod.
The regional awards were announced at the end of July. The national awards were announced in early August 2011.

Good afternoon. Before I get started, I would like to thank the Nashville Chambers of Commerce, and Mr. John Butler and the International Business Council for hosting this luncheon. And I also want to extend a special thanks to all of our sponsors who have made today possible, including Baker Donelson and Federal Express. Thank you.
I appreciate all of you being able to join me here today. I am sure you have many questions, so I will be sure to keep my remarks brief.
During these past few months, since becoming Ambassador, I have traveled all throughout the U.S. to meet and talk with Americans. I have seen many cities. And I am glad to be in Nashville. It is one of those places you simply must visit, like New York City or New Orleans. From Hank Williams to Willie Nelson, a distinct American heritage has been established here. Because of that, Nashville carries a mystique about it, much like Hollywood. In fact, I've heard it said that Nashville is a lot like Hollywood – but without the tan.
From what I've learned, though, there's more to this city than the Grand Ole Opry. Although Nashville is renowned as a major music recording center, it is also a thriving commercial and financial hub. And it has a long history of being one. You only have to look at the grand, classical-style buildings all around the downtown area to appreciate this city's legacy of economic prosperity.
I think in some ways, though, the glamour of the country music scene overshadows what is at the heart of Nashville. And that is business.
Saudi Arabia faces a similar situation. We're known for our oil. As the largest producer and exporter of oil in the world, it would be difficult not to be known for our energy supply. But, like Nashville, there is a lot more going on – especially these days.
I would like to take this time to share with you what the Kingdom has been doing to diversify its economy, and expand the opportunities for its citizens. I would like people to know there is more to Saudi Arabia than oil. There is tremendous opportunity.
I say this because, when it comes to Nashville, I don't believe companies like FedEx, Dollar General, or even Nissan are investing here just for the music. These firms know there is an infrastructure here to support their business. And they know there are people here willing to work hard.
It is the same way with Saudi Arabia. Oil is not enough to bring business to the desert. That is why we have been building the infrastructure for investment. In the past ten years, the Saudi government has enacted many new laws and created nine new regulatory bodies aimed at streamlining commerce and opening up our system to increased investment. And, as of last December, Saudi Arabia is now an official member of the World Trade Organization.
These reforms have led, in recent years, to an unprecedented economic boom. Some say the economic up-turn is a result of oil prices, but I view our performance as an affirmation of our citizens' confidence in the system.
Over time it will run through its cycles – as we have seen in recent months – but we have laid prudent groundwork. We haven't just thrown money at our problems. We didn't just make up a spending list. Ours has been a systematic approach to facilitate considerable investment opportunities for both overseas investors and the Saudi private sector. Many people understand this and the market reflects it.
In fact, last year, the World Bank ranked Saudi Arabia as the best place in the region to do business. I do not think they would make this judgment on the strength of our oil reserves alone.
Saudi Arabia is open for business. And we are doing so for good reason.
King Abdullah wants Saudi Arabia to become a full, contributing member of the global community. We want to see our citizens competing in the world. We want to see our economic reform be a key driver of positive change in our society. Our citizens need to further their education; they need to be employed; and they need to make constructive contributions.
Enabling our citizens to prosper is just one aspect of Saudi Arabia's efforts to modernize our society and seek positive change. But it is an important one. And I believe we are succeeding.
Currently, there are investment opportunities worth over $650 billion available in the next 15 years. These are in a number of fields, including expanding natural gas industry, growing IT, developing the mining and tourism sectors, healthcare, education, and further privatizing state-owned corporations.
We are even building a planned city on the Red Sea, which will contain all of the most modern facilities to take Saudi Arabia into the next generation of global business and trade. Known as the King Abdullah Economic City, it is intended to create jobs and increase foreign participation.
The project broke ground last December, and will cost over $26 billion. The city will feature one of the largest deep-water ports in the world for freighters moving between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. It will also contain a "financial island" that will be home to the assets and funds of the world's biggest financial institutions, including banks, investment houses, and insurance companies.
This will truly demonstrate Saudi Arabia's place as the largest economy in the region. And much like the buildings in downtown Nashville, Saudi citizens will have much to point to in the future as evidence of their economic progress.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In addition to bringing much good to the Saudi people, increased trade and commerce will benefit our relationships with our global partners as well. The language of business is a powerful one – one that has the ability to connect people in ways no government can.
I believe this is especially true for the Saudi-U.S. partnership, as the original connection between our people was formed through business – back when American geologists helped us develop our oil industry. Our business partnerships have come a long way since then and developed into many areas.
Even some of Nashville's business community have long recognized the potential in Saudi Arabia. HCA, for example, first entered the Kingdom through the construction of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh more than 30 years ago. They saw the opportunity then, and I hope many more companies and foreign investors see the greater opportunities now.

closed as unclear what you're asking by Janus Bahs Jacquet, choster, Matt E. Эллен♦, MrHen, FumbleFingers Jan 16 '14 at 17:47
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
In the past, the abbreviation cf was used in texts. It's short for Latin confer, meaning 'compare'. You could still use it, but not everyone will understand it. Probably the best answer now is simply See.
Probably the best way of shortening Look at is to use see.
See is idiomatic; look at is not generally used to direct people's attention to other resources in this way. Look at is used in speech ("Look at that!"), and it's interesting that see usually appears in writing.
[Note too that e.g. does not mean "example given"; it means exempli gratia, "for the sake of example".]
The latinate abbreviation (corresponding to "e.g." for exempli gratia) is "q.v." for quod vide = "which see", to direct someone elsewhere for further information. If it's an abbreviation you want, that's the perfect fit.
As other answers point out, however, "see" is even shorter, and provides more clarity. While "q.v." is common enough in some academic writing, it's not exactly common parlance.
My own sense is that "cf." should not be used here (even though it is in the "accepted" answer): it has a real meaning, and that meaning is "compare". From the question, that isn't the intended meaning. It is properly used in situations to contrast one thing with another (see also the advice from the the APA blog on the use of "cf.").
So, you want to say for example
You can also just say
if you want to shorten it.
If you're bored of "see," consider "view."

An Eve of Eames
He's the heir to the midcentury-mod throne of Charles and Ray Eames, and an intimate group of fans had the chance to meet him when he paid a visit to Design Within Reach's Costa Mesa studio. Yes, Eames Demetrios, grandson to the two renowned talents and principal of Eames Office, chatted with attendees about their passions for art, architecture and design (what else?) over pours from Balius Wines. He also talked about the family's 250-year plan to preserve the Eames House in Pacific Palisades, where Charles and Ray lived and worked during their most creative days, and which is today recognized as one of the most notable postwar residences on the planet. Now that's a legacy! Photography by John Rinek

1965 Dodge Coronet - Classical GasWritten by on October 1, 2009 Contributors: Robert McGaffin The Only Thing Missing On The Side Of This Match Race '65 Coronet Tribute Car Is A Catchy Name.
A stute PHR readers will remember this '65 Dodge Coronet from the "Hometown Heroes" photo contest in our January '09 issue, but my personal introduction to the hot rodding world of Brandon Bussard would come several months later.
I was walking down vendor's row at the South Bend stop on the '09 Power Tour, when I heard a distinct rumble following me down the aisle. I turned around, expecting to see another first-gen F-body with a flashy paintjob and big hoops. Instead, I saw a two-tone '02 Ford Focus (also featured in the same "Hometown Heroes" issue), pulling up to the Edelbrock display and drawing a big crowd in the process.
As the sea of humanity closed in around the Focus, everyone clamored for a glimpse of the stroked 5.0 that had been crammed under the hood of the little econobox. I remember thinking the car looked familiar and when I returned home a few days later, the dossier on this '65 Coronet was waiting for me and all the pieces fell into place.
Brandon is an avowed Ford EFI enthusiast, as evidenced by his radical compact creation, but he also has a strong affinity for the golden years of hot rodding, when match races between the original A/FX "funny cars" were all the rage. This altered-wheelbase '65 Dodge Coronet is a product of that passion, but his sights weren't always set on hot rods.
"I didn't actually get into cars until about 10 years ago," admits Brandon. "I had worked with my dad at a service station when I was younger, but it was just a job. I was a drummer, received a scholarship, and was planning on going to Indiana University."
When Brandon couldn't get into Indiana's music school as a freshman, he had what he described as a "reality check" and took his life in a different direction. "I'd always liked cars," he says, "so I went to Automotive Tech school at Ivy Tech in Fort Wayne, Indiana."
As Brandon pursued his ASE certification, he began working for Gary Ball at his Rod and Custom Shop in Syracuse, Indiana. That's where he first crossed paths with the bare shell of the '65 Coronet Ball he purchased. "Gary got me into Mopars because that was his thing. It was '32 Fords, '40-41 Willys, and then we got into '62-'65 Mopars pretty heavily," remembers Brandon.
The first step in transforming the Coronet was altering the wheelbase. For that task, Ball enlisted the services of Seattle's Rich LeFebvre, who was at one time considered "the guy" when it came to slicing sheetmetal for altered wheebase cars. This Coronet is rumored to be the last car LeFebvre completed before he embarked on what might best be described as a bizarre sabbatical.
A story appearing in a June '08 issue of Seattle Weekly magazine that claimed Lefebvre was busy shooting a "self-financed remake of Calamari Union, Kaurismki's '85 cult film about a bunch of aging Helsinki rockers who all mysteriously share the name Frank." That report leaves us wondering if Joaquin Phoenix is hunkered down in a garage somewhere, chalking off cut lines on a '63 Tempest quarter-panel.
Once the Coronet made its way back to Indiana, the only metalwork that remained was in the trunk area and the fabrication of post sedan doors to fit the hardtop body. That task proved to be the toughest part of the build, with several days spent just making the donor doors fit and look right.
With the bodywork behind them, the group was able to move onto other elements of the build. "Our original plan was to do fenderwell headers and one of the new 528 Hemis and probably swing toward an EFI Hilborn setup," says Brandon.
As time went on, their goals changed and even included discussions of making it an exact, authentic race car for competition in Nostalgia Super/Stock events. The crew working on the car also evolved during this time. Originally, there were three guys working on the car at Ball's shop, but attrition eventually reduced that number to just Brandon. "Gary was out of town all the time at shows and I ended up fabricating and building the car," he says.
The 440 block was an old race motor, which once pushed another car into the high 11s and produces about 375 hp. The factory cast-iron heads were completely rebuilt several years ago, but were languishing on a shelf in Ball's garage until they were pulled for this project and worked over pretty heavily.
Brandon and Ball knew they wanted the look of Hilborn injector stacks popping through the hood, but the historically correct mechanical fuel injection option seemed like an unreasonable choice for any use other than racing. Many builders have opted to go the EFI route in these applications, but they balked at that option on two fronts. Cost was one consideration, but the fact that EFI is simply not period correct for this car also played into the decision to go with an Edelbrock 750-cfm carburetor.
"We went with the 440 and the Carter-style setup, because it's really streetable and really reliable. It's a proven combination we've done in about 15 Mopars over the last five years," claims Brandon.
The period-correct Max Wedge cast-iron exhaust manifolds flow into dual 3-inch exhaust pipes, crafted from dairy-grade stainless steel tubing. "I do all my exhaust systems with that stuff," says Brandon, "because it's thicker and maintains a really bright, machined look at all times. I can also use the nicer ferrules and clamps on it, instead of that muffler shop crap."
When Brandon finished up school in 2003 and completed his ASE-certification process, he and his father decided to go out on their own. "We spent the next six years building this car on and off, while trying to start a business," says Brandon. The car was nearly complete, when Canadian, Walter Phillips, gave Ball an offer on the Coronet that he couldn't refuse.
At the time the Dodge changed hands, it had the motor and drivetrain in it, but the shell was still in primer and the rolling chassis had no interior. "Phillips had a crate Hemi and we actually thought about putting that in, but ended up not because he said he wanted to drive the car too, so we stuck with the original plan," says Brandon.
Bell finished up a spot-on interior, right down to the A990 seats and a heater/radio delete dashboard, while Phillips asked Brandon to make some changes in preparation for the Dodge's trip North of the border. "It has wipers and a four-headlight system. That was the only thing on the outside of it that wasn't cosmetically correct, but we had to do that for Canadian DOT regulations," says Brandon.
After finishing the car, Brandon and his dad drove it to shows for a few months and claim that their goal of building a driver was met. "It handles great; it's purely a driver," says Brandon. "That's why it's got that tall gear in the ass end, because we just wanted to drive it."
As much as he prefers working with EFI Fords, Brandon will always have a soft spot for altered cars and he certainly isn't closing the door on future projects. "The Mopar market was really big for about five or six years and from what I've seen in the Nostalgia race car scene, the Thunderbolts, Willys, Dodges, and Max Wedge clones are all bringing good money for what it costs to build them," says Brandon. "Everybody wants an old race car, man!"
Apparently, the economics of building these cars also has some appeal for Brandon. "For the money Gary had in the Coronet and the time my dad and I had in it, this car was built relatively cheap for an altered car. Those cars will bring anywhere from $75,000 up to $150,000, depending on the correctness of the car and if they're the real deal."
In fact, Brandon's current projects include a '40 Willys Coupe with a 392 Hemi, a '37 Chevy straight-axle Gasser, and a Thunderbolt clone he's working on with Ball. As for the Coronet, the only thing it's missing now is a traditional name, like the Dandy Dodge and Color Me Gone. "We never named it, because it ended up going to someone else," says Brandon.

The fuel lines running into the Hilborn stacks are purely cosmetic, but they do help maintain the correct Super Stock A/FX appearance.
Aspiring Indie filmmaker and part-time fabricator, Rich LeFebvre, shifted the Coronet's center of gravity by moving the front axle forward by 10 inches and the rear axle by 15 inches.
All of Brandon's exhaust systems are crafted from food-grade stainless steel. He says they "look bitchin'" on street rods, but at $500 for a 20-foot stick, they ain't cheap!

Hello, and sorry if this has been asked previously in the forum, I tried to search for it but it gives me an error 500 message.
I have been a photographer for some time now, but only started doing panos about a year and a half ago when I enrolled in the GBP program.
I have been using the R10 GBP kit, but now I want to be able to take nadir and zenith, to publish custom tours and on Google views.
The camera that I'm using is a 7D with the sigma 8mm. I will probably stick with it for now, but in the future I might change to a smaller camera, maybe an OM-D, A7... or maybe just upgrade the lens to achieve better quality.
I would really appreciate it if you could recommend which Nodal Ninja head & rotator would suit me best, as I have been looking for a while and I'm still confused, RS 1/2, NN 3/4...
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Kind regards.

I'm currently trying to teach myself OpenGL... and quickly discovering that the Immediate Mode taught in old OpenGL tutorials is basically obsolete... which leads me to VBO's... which I kind of get but would like to start learning them in context.
What is the workflow involved in taking a 3D object from Maya or 3DS Max and converting it to something that can be turned into a VBO?
On that token, do these export workflows also deal with materials and textures, or is that handled in an entirely different manner?

The Council of the Plains has ruled over the Plains for two hundred years. Originally as a group of adventurers fleeing from a powerful threat, the Council has brought in civilization, order and knowledge, and most importantly, the way to magic.
The adventurers settled in the Plains and declared as the rulers over the Plains. The adventurers, keen on magic, could easily wipe out all natives on the Plains. They worked hard to make this once barbaric place better, and they succeeded — towns and cities started to appear and grow.
Time flies. The original members of the Council, who gave birth to a strong country, all died. New people were elected to go into the Council, once a member of the Council had died. At first, it is a measure to make the citizens to have an aim. However, this has provided an opportunity for other nations to sneak some spies into the Council…
War has since started. Although the invaders and the spies were eradicated with great effort, the shadow out there will not dissipate so easily…
The only thing I can say is some (more than normal) people will be granted a personal NK. Although this is a closed setting, all players will know the role, alignment and abilities of those players who are killed at night.
1. There is no one-shot skill in this game. I am sorry for writing the role PMs badly.
2. NK in this game comes in two flavours, personal NK and ability NK. They behave differently, with one of the difference stated in the NAR below.

An X.509 certificate revocation list contains a field specifying when the next such list is expected to be issued. I'm trying to figure out the importance of this field...I know that sometimes certificates are placed on a "do not use" list, and this needs to be updated constantly. But I also feel like the CRL update on a regular basis, so what is the point of having this field anyways? Why not just use a fixed schedule?
There are two distinct semantics that the
It is expected that CRL overlap, so that transitions are smooth and network traffic spread throughout the day. Typically, a CA would produce a new CRL every hour (so that fresh information is available) but would "allow" a given CRL to be valid for one day (24 hours). Since a CRL can be somewhat large, downloading it is expensive, thus implementations would prefer not to do it too often if it has no practical use. But since each CA has its own policy, a generic certificate validator cannot know a priori what kind of schedule a given CA uses; it must learn it through the data in the certificates and CRL.
The first meaning is what X.509 mandates. However, everybody uses it with the second meaning. In effect, implementations of X.509 (e.g. in Web browsers, when they validate the certificate of a Web server) handle
It's used for a number of reasons:

Surgery theory aims to measure the difference between simple homotopy types and diffeomorphism types. In 3 dimensions, geometrization achieves something much more nuanced than that. Still, I wonder whether the surgeons' key problem has been solved. Is every simple homotopy equivalence between smooth, closed 3-manifolds homotopic to a diffeomorphism?
In related vein, it follows from J.H.C. Whitehead's theorem that a map of closed, connected smooth 3-manifolds is a homotopy equivalence if it has degree $\pm 1$ and induces an isomorphism on $\pi_1$. Is there a reasonable criterion for such a homotopy equivalence to be simple? One could, for instance, ask about maps that preserve abelian torsion invariants (e.g. Turaev's).

My one year old daughter has suddenly refused any solid food that is wet or sticky. She will only eat things like bread or cereals with an exception for puree. She weas eating a bit of everything up untill the past few days. We have ruled out teething for the most part, we don't feel any on their way. Is this a phase?
Almost certainly, since children at that age change their preferences constantly. My son has been running hot and cold on (eg.) avocados ever since he started eating solids: sometimes they're the best thing in the world, but -- usually after eating them often for a while -- he seems to get bored and refuses to touch them. We pause for a while, try again later, and boom, they're gold again.
So don't worry about it too much, just offer her various foods and see what she decides to like that day. And if you're concerned that "wet" or "sticky" is the problem, I have a hard time imagining she'll refuse eg. ice cream or a spoonful of jam!

Is the title ~[殿]{どの} used in modern day Japanese? If so, which people can you use it with? I've only really seen it come across in referring to [大]{だい}[名]{みょう} (feudal lords). Also it is applicable to use as a translation of "sir" of people who have been knighted by the queen of England?

You may use it in emails, especially when you contacting to another company or another department which you never contact before.
Note: I personally don't use it, because I feel that its extreme polite, but when I search mailing list in my company, I got around 400 hits for around a year, so Indeed some people use it.
I am not sure whether it counts as your expected answer, but you have titles with 殿 used in monarchies or for aristocrats: エリザベス・オブ・ヨーク王女殿下(Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth of York). You will have to check for yourself for how to express each title, but it seems to be limited to the "highness" derivatives.
Then, as a polite name suffix the Japanese Wikipedia page also states that it is seldom used in spoken Japanese, and mostly used in letters and documents.

The company began shopping the refinery around in May of last year, saying competition in the area had led to weak financial returns. Imperial Oil said the failure to find a buyer illustrates "the challenges of operating a refinery of Dartmouth's scale in the competitive conditions of the Atlantic Basin market."
By CAROLYN KING
TORONTO -- Canadian integrated energy company Imperial Oil
said Wednesday that it will convert its crude-oil refinery in
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, into a terminal operation after failing
to find a buyer willing to operate the refinery.
The Calgary, Alberta-based company began shopping the refinery around in May of last year,
saying competition in the area had led to lower-than-expected
financial returns from the operation.
In a statement Wednesday, Imperial Oil said the failure to
find a buyer illustrates "the challenges of operating a refinery of Dartmouth's scale in the
competitive conditions of the Atlantic Basin market." It
expects to record an after-tax charge of up to about 280
million Canadian dollars ($274 million) in the second quarter
in connection with the conversion.
A spokesman for the company, Pius Rolheiser, said that, due
to pipeline constraints, the refinery has limited access to
lower-priced Western Canadian crude. He said it sources its
Brent-priced crude from a variety of sources.
The 95-year-old Dartmouth refinery, which produces a range
of products such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and home heating
fuel, has a throughput capacity of about 88,000 bpd. About 200
employees and 200 contractors work at the refinery and related terminals, the
company said.
Mr. Rolheiser said it was "too early" to say if any jobs
would be lost.
The company already operates terminal facilities in Dartmouth as well as
in four other locations in Atlantic Canada. The spokesman said
the Dartmouth operation will serve as the primary terminal in
the region, offering storage and distribution for refined
petroleum products and serving the Atlantic Canadian
Imperial Oil is targeting initial start-up for the converted
facilities later this year.
Decommissioning surplus facilities will be a multi-year
process, it added.
Imperial Oil is controlled by ExxonMobil.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Nearly a week into what's been dubbed the first "Twitter" Olympics and we're hearing all sorts of rumblings about a downside to social media. All that instant information can be a drawback when you don't want to know the information this instant!
It used to be that, when Olympics were held on the other side of the world, avoiding the results before the competition aired on tape-delay that night in your time zone was as simple as a sportscaster saying, "Turn your back while I show the results on the screen for those who can't wait!" In today's Twitter and Facebook world, it's not that easy. For example, one account I follow on Twitter will merely say, "Women's gymnastics complete - click for results." But another will say, "(insert country here) places (insert result here)."
The growth of Twitter over the past four years is evident - Twitter said more people tweeted about the Olympics Thursday, before the opening ceremony, than had during the entire Beijing Olympics in 2008. Broadcasters blamed Twitter for interfering with their data stream during weekend cycling coverage, leading to a supposed request for fans to limit their Tweeting to only urgent matters. We've also heard of athletes sparking controversy for their tweets - U.S. soccer player Hope Solo criticized former player-turned-commentator Brandi Chastain while a Swiss soccer player was sent home for offensive comments about South Korea.
I, for one, don't mind knowing the result before seeing the event. If I see a result, I then want to know what unfolded that led to that result. Others hate that - feeling it ruins the event if they know how it ends. All the criticism and cries of ruined suspense don't seem to be hurting television viewing - the first weekend saw record ratings. Perhaps the buzz of Twitter isn't such a buzz-killer after all!
