Post-capture Exposure Compensation
Probably one of the single biggest strengths of the Kodak DCS digital SLR's is their huge dynamic range. Load an image into Photo Desk, knock the exposure compensation down half a stop (-0.5 EV) and you'll see detail leap out of what previously appeared to be completely lost overexposed areas. It's almost as though every shot is deliberately captured under the selected exposure to leave some headroom in the RAW file for downward compensation.
The example below shows an image which ended up with portions of the scene overexposed, I simply dialled in -1.0 EV compensation and detail which appeared to have been lost suddenly appeared. Very impressive. All images were processed as TIFF and converted to JPEG later.
As shot, the white brickwork on Tower
Bridge is clearly overexposed 1,975 KB JPEG |
Not a problem, just set exposure compensation
to -1.0 EV and the detail is there 1,538 KB |
This is something I've tried with D1/D1x images in Nikon Capture and haven't so far been able to pull out even half as much detail from overexposed highlights.
'Look' (contrast)
Kodak's acquire module has always had this concept of 'Look', this has migrated to Photo Desk and is essentially a way to control image contrast. A setting of 'Product' produces a normally balanced image where black is almost black. A setting of 'Portrait' pushes the black end of the grayscale upwards (and flattens it a little) to produce more visible shadow detail (clearly this compresses the middle of the grayscale). It's a handy way to produce a 'lighter' image without changing exposure compensation. All images were processed as TIFF and converted to JPEG later.
Look: Product / 1,248 KB JPEG | |
Look: Portrait / 1,376 KB JPEG |
Color (RGB / Gray)
Lastly, you can choose to save the image as full colour or 'gray'. Useful if you wish to shoot grayscale or are looking for the cameras optimum image resolution.
Color: RGB / 1,989 KB JPEG | Color: Gray / 1,570 KB JPEG |
Footnote: the need for high quality lenses
Something which I hadn't considered was the DCS 760's need for high quality lenses. It's obvious of course that a six megapixel sensor requires a lens which can generate very good resolution, but with the DCS 760 it's a bit more complicated than that...
Using lenses on the Nikon D1x we're capturing the center 66% of the frame for the final image (1.5x focal length multiplier because of the size of the sensor in proportion to a 35 mm negative), this means you can get away with using average lenses and still get very good results (the 28-105 mm F3.4 - 5.6 D is a good example).
However, the DCS 760 has a larger sensor with just a 1.3x focal length multiplier, this means that it captures the center 76% of the frame for the final image, this requires the lens to be that much sharper to the edges. Something which became quite apparent looking up near the edges of some of my shots taken with the 28-105 mm F3.4 - 5.6 D).
And here we are all begging for full frame sensors...

Using email for advertising sales as well as generating revenue and growing your audience is fast and easy. However, with the volume of emails the average person receives daily comes the possibility of your email getting lost and forgotten about. In order to get the most out of your emails, it is best to take a few steps to ensure your email stands out instead of getting lost in the depths of the internet. Take a peek at a couple of tips to consider when it comes to all things email:
- Keep it short: People have a short attention span when reading items on the internet. Avoid having readers toss your email into the trash bin because they think it is too long too read. By keeping your emails short, sweet and to the point you are increasing the chances of it being read versus thrown out at first glance. Get your point across and get it across fast for optimal success.
- Add a call-to-action: One of the best ways to engage your audience is to add a call-to-action at the end of an email. Include a link to research or more reading material and encourage your readers to click on it to keep them engaged with the product. Get creative and add a line that will make them intrigued versus the often overlooked, "click here for more."
- Send it at the right time: In addition to keeping it short and adding a call-to-action, it is also important to make sure you are sending the email at the correct time. You want the email to hit inboxes in the morning when people are at their desks checking their emails. Between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. are often best to ensure it doesn't get lost with other emails that were sent at night or over the weekend.
Email is a great tool for growing audiences and ad sales because it fast, efficient and relatively easy. The use of email also gives you one more way to connect with your audience outside of the niche publication.

Electric Rhetoric
"We are commonly not aware of the complex history of orality and literacy and of the effects of this history on the depths of human consciousness, where electronic communication is now having its deep and as yet not understood effects. Professor Welchs work can give us some of the in-depth understanding we need to be aware of where we really are."-- from the foreword by Walter J. OngComputer screens now dominate many workplaces, and televisions are ubiquitous in our homes, waiting rooms, and many public spaces. In Electric Rhetoric, Kathleen E. Welch explores the profound changes in writing and discourse brought about by electronic forms of communication. To this end, she integrates three related strands: the redeployment of Sophistic classical rhetoric; current literacy theories within rhetoric and composition studies, including gender and race issues; and the inherently rhetorical nature of "screens" in relationship to writing and other communication technologies. Throughout the book Welch deals extensively with women's issues, which have played a particularly important role in the history of oralism. Welch's ultimate aim is to help build a movement to change, partly through critical pedagogy, the actions people take in their daily writing and speaking lives.

Raytheon last week joined a growing list of companies to receive threatening envelopes in the mail that contained a suspicious white powder and a note mentioning the terror group Al-Qaeda.
Although the Raytheon office is located in Waltham, Massachusetts, the two envelopes are believed to be connected to a series of 25 similar bioterror hoaxes that have occurred predominantly in North Texas over the last ten days, according to NECN. In the Dallas area cases, two Raytheon offices were targeted.
Other victims of the hoaxes include elementary schools, churches, mosques, and aeronautics and technology companies like Raytheon. In all of the cases, the white powder was tested by the FBI and found to be innocuous. In at least some of the cases, the powder was identified as cornstarch.
The envelopes have all had a postmark from North Texas, a similar return address and contained a single typed sentence. An FBI official told NECN that the letters, containing a single sentence, make no sense, but that they match up with over 200 letters that were sent to governor's offices and U.S. embassies in 2008.
The FBI said that the letters mentioned the terror group Al-Qaeda, but noted that they were not well-articulated, so their meaning remains undetermined.
Postal officials say that since the 2001 anthrax scare, all mail is scanned for biohazards. Suspicious packages, however, still require precautions and cause disruptions.

Foundation on whichto rebuild
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Star linebacker Michael Mauti's college football career had just come to an end in November when he spotted the next generation of Penn State football players.
So, he decided to do what Mauti had done time and again during his Nittany Lions career: He helped others, and imparted some inspirational words along the way.
Adam Breneman, one of the top tight end prospects in the country, is one of them, and he listened intently. Mauti indeed passed the torch of leadership to Breneman and some other high school seniors on recruiting trips to Happy Valley that day, setting the tone for a critical offseason at Penn State.
Indeed, there is no bowl game to rally around this season. No sunny destination dancing around in the Nittany Lions' heads. No fun-filled reward for all of their hard work in this season of recovery.
But there is hope. There is optimism. And there is Year 2 of the Coach Bill O'Brien era to sculpt.
Under O'Brien, Penn State finished an overachieving 8-4 with a second-place finish in the Big Ten Leaders Division. The Nittany Lions went 6-2 in conference, and they likely would have been a lock for a New Year's Day bowl game. As it is, Penn State is not in a bowl for the first time in eight seasons.
But there is much to build on. An emotional 24-21 overtime victory, for instance, over Wisconsin in the finale sent the program into the offseason on a high note.
And O'Brien will need that in his first full offseason to secure a recruiting class amid scholarship cuts. The sanctions — levied in July for the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal — limit Penn State's recruiting classes to no more than 15 a year for the next four years, starting with the 2013 class to be signed in early February. Most teams can sign 25. There also is a four-year postseason ban to digest.
O'Brien also will need to find new leaders. Mauti was one of a group of seniors who helped keep most of the team together in the frenzied weeks after the NCAA announced the punishment.
Breneman, a highly touted senior from Cedar Cliff High in Camp Hill, Pa., has a chance to be in that leadership mix someday. He has been part of a contingent of recruits who have been vocal about keeping their commitments despite the penalties.
"Now, it's our turn to come in, and, in a couple years, lead the program," Breneman said recently, recounting Mauti's postgame words to him. "That was definitely very motivating to talk to him."
Breneman, coming off a right knee injury that kept him out for his senior season, plans to enroll at Penn State in January after finishing his prep work a semester early. That will enable him to participate in spring practice.
There's an extra benefit for Penn State if players officially join the program in January, instead of waiting until early February to declare their college choices. January enrollees count against 2012, when there are no scholarship limits. That means the 2013 team could have more 15 new scholarship players while still meeting the NCAA sanction guidelines.
So far, recruiting has been good, especially given the unprecedented circumstances of the past year. Joining Breneman in January will be junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson, a quarterback who figures to compete with Steven Bench now that record-setting starter Matt McGloin is out of eligibility.
Penn State also has a verbal commitment from blue-chip quarterback prospect Christian Hackenberg of Virginia, though he is not expected to join the team until this summer.
"You never know until guys sign on the dotted line," O'Brien said last week about recruiting. "But we feel good where we're at."

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Gold futures climbed on Friday as a move lower for most U.S. equities and a decline in consumer sentiment buoyed the precious metals' investment appeal, helping prices settle at their highest level in more than five weeks.
Gold for February delivery US:GCG4 rose $11.70, or 0.9%, to settle at $1,251.90 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices finished the week 0.4% higher. They settled at their highest level since Dec. 11, according to FactSet data tracking the most-active contracts.
March silver US:SIH4 also rose 25 cents, or 1.3%, to end at $20.30 an ounce, for a gain of 0.4% on the week.
Investors mulled the latest U.S. economic data to gauge gold's investment appeal.
Construction of new U.S. homes fell in December but for all of last year had the strongest showing since 2007. December industrial production grew in line with the consensus forecast but consumer sentiment declined in January. Job openings at U.S. workplaces rose in November to the highest level since March 2008.
"A miss on the building permits and the consumer sentiment data have provided a lifeline for gold," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AvaTrade, in an email.
"The question which is looming on the trader's mind is that if this data [are] going to handcuff " new Fed Chief Janet Yellen, or not, to further tapering of the central bank's bond-buying program, he said.
Aslam said he believes the Fed will continue to taper at its next meeting, scheduled for Jan. 28 to 29. The time has come to let the market "paddle through this economic headwind itself."
Stock Bulls: You want the 49ers in the Super Bowl

On Thursday, gold futures put an end to a two-session decline thanks to a fall in U.S. stocks and weakness in the dollar DXY, +0.47%
Forecasts and contrarians
Investment bank forecasts in recent days have generally been downbeat on the outlook for gold prices this year but that has some analysts betting on a rally instead.
The consensus forecast calls for a decline of 14.5% in average 2014 gold prices from 2013's average, according to a MarketWatch poll of investment bank predictions.
Given that most analysts assumed that the end of quantitative easing would be bearish for gold, expectations about the timing and pace of Fed tapering had kept the gold market in a knot all last year, said Adrian Day, portfolio manager of the Euro Pacific Gold Fund EPGFX, +1.36% Gold futures prices dropped 28% last year.
"But now that the initial step in cutting back on the Fed's monthly bond purchases has occurred, the markets apparently have more certainty on that front," he said. So "I believe the heavy selling pressure will abate and that the roughest sledding may be behind us."
Some analysts have taken on a contrarian point of view following the spate of bearish price forecasts.
Day said he takes the "overwhelmingly bearish sentiment on gold to be ironically bullish."
"The mainstream sentiment on gold has never been lower," he said. "This may present opportunities for those with courage who refuse to join the herd, if the market turns."
Day also said he's "cautiously optimistic" that gold stocks could delivery a strong rally from current levels. The Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index XAU, -2.46% was up 2.9% Friday afternoon, trading roughly 6.3% higher for the week.
Back on Comex Friday, platinum for April delivery US:PLJ4 improved by $22.60, or 1.6%, to $1,454.10 an ounce, closing up 1.2% for the week, while March palladium US:PAH4 rose $4.65, or 0.6%, to $748.55 an ounce, up about 0.3% from a week ago.
High-grade copper for March delivery US:HGH4 added less than 0.1% to $3.345 a pound, little changed from a week ago.

A majority of the bathroom projects we share lighten a space with lots of white, so it's nice to see a dark bathroom makeover every once in a while. Lindsay added a lot of sophistication to this small bathroom with black walls, an eye-catching patterned curtain and a small pop of color with hot pink-framed artworks. The results are dramatic, especially for such a tiny space. Nice job, Lindsay! — Kate

Cost: $4K
Basic Step: We did a mini renovation ourselves when we first moved into our house four years ago, giving the room a new coat of paint and a new sink and toilet. Later, when we decided we were ready to complete the project, we pulled the shower panels down and found a ton of mold – that's when we decided to hire some professionals to take over. We had the old metal tub reglazed, re-tiled the bathroom walls and floor, and updated all the fixtures and lighting. They also walled in the exposed plumbing pipe, matching it on the other side of the sink for symmetry, which really brought everything together. Our advice is to DIY as much as you can (we saved about $1,000 by doing the painting ourselves), but don't be afraid to hire some help if you need it. — Lindsay
Wall Color: Soot by Benjamin Moore in Eggshell
Mirror: Custom
Light Fixture: Mercer Double Horizontal Sconce, Chrome Finish, from Pottery Barn
Shower Curtain: Chevron Shower Curtain from West Elm (no longer available)
Rug: a wedding gift, from Anthropologie
Art: Charmaine Olivia
Frames: Re-Nest Target frames, spray painted with Rust-oleum "Berry"
Kate and Grace: Delighted to see this! Our bathroom is equally narrow, which seemed to rule out some redesign ideas that I had been considering. I was at the home improvement warehouse just 72 hours ago, puzzled by how to renovate our bathroom. Your concept of the columns on each side of the pedestal sink may very well be the solution we need. I want to show these pictures, and our bathroom, to a carpenter & get bids!
One question: Do you feel it saved much money to reglaze the tub instead of replacing it? Does seem smart to reglaze instead of buying a new tub, transporting it home, and hauling up the stairs.
Looooove me a nice bathroom! Well done guys!
Wow, this is a gorgeous bathroom!
I love the renovation!! The sink is adorable and I love the shower curtain!
Holy smokes, that is a very fabulous, very courageous redo! Beautiful!
That shower curtain is on sale right now at West Elm….fyi anyone that might be interested
Fantastic bathroom! Love the colours and the shower curtain (too bad it's no longer available). What is the handheld shower bar info? I'm looking for exactly the smae thing to replace mine when I reno in the next month or 2. Thanks!
Eileen 2 – I definitely think it saved money in our situation. I have no idea how anyone would have been able to get the tub out of the bathroom even if we wanted to! It would have been way too much of a hassle. Reglazing was only a couple hundred anyway (about the same as a new tub) and it looks like new.
Good ideal about walling up the pipe and doing it on the other side. You could put towel hooks on them if you wanted too.
Brooke, I'm pretty sure it's exactly this – http://www.homedepot.com/Plumbing-Bathroom-Faucets-Shower-Heads-Hand-Showers-Hand-Showers/MOEN/h_d1/N-5yc1vZbrinZ3zbZ1z10p7y/R-202221143/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051&superSkuId=203384432
Good luck with your bathroom!
Didn't want to see toilet skid marks when I am relaxing, eating breakfast and reading my favourite blog.. totally grossed out now :/
Avery – those look like rust stains to me. Not that I want to argue about it over my breakfast either. -Amy
It might just be the shower curtain that's making me think what I'm about to write, and the color of the new bathroom plays a role too… but this totally reminds me of what my husband and I recently did to polish up our bathroom, seen here: http://sulu-design.blogspot.com/search?q=bathroom
I only wish we had a shower as pretty as the one above! And nicer before and after shots, too. -
I love those pictures… where did you get them?
A little hard work can go a long way. Great job on the renovation and thanks for sharing.
I am so impressed. I hate to admit it, but my bathroom looks almost identical to the before picture! Between my job at Dish and keeping up with the rest of the household, the bathroom renovation has been placed on the backburner. This post has inspired me to take action on that hideous room, so I can make it something I'm proud of! I have to ask, do you come up with everything on your own or do you have outside resources for inspiration? My only sources for décor information are HGTV and the DIY network. My DVR is chock full of home and decorating shows. I'm lucky to have the Hopper DVR with loads of recording space to accommodate my little obsession with these channels! But, I'd really like to hear where you get your inspiration from! This bathroom is gorgeous.
This looks stunning, I'm about to renovate my bathroom and have been struggling with the lighting, I found the guide but I think I need some more help
Are the floors a dark tile as well? Adore this bathroom. Mine is similar – so very small. But I love the color pallet.

Pleasure of Writing
Pleasure of Writing: Critical Essays on Dacia Maraini (Hardback)
Book Description
One of contemporary Italy's best-known writers, Dacia Maraini has often been a figure of controversy as author and as cultural critic. Though she is recipient of numerous literary awards, Maraini's work has not received the sustained critical attention commensurable with its stature. Working and creating "dalla parte delle donne" (on the side of women), she had been effectively excluded from the Italian critical canon. The Pleasure of Writing is opened with Maraini's own analysis of women's writing. There follow 14 essays by an international group of Italianists, utilizing a wide spectrum of interpretive perspectives, form semiotics to psychoanalysis, to treat the full range of Maraini's production as novelist, playwright, poet, and filmmaker.
About the Editor(s):
Rodica Diaconescu-Blumenfeld is an associate professor of Italian studies at Vassar College. She is the author of Born Illiterate: Gender and Representation in Gadda's Pasticciaccio. She has published articles on Marco Risi, Lina Wertmuller, and Gianni Amelio. Currently, she is working on the politics of cultural repression of the Balkans in European cinemas and on the politics of cultural repression in Italian cinema.
Ada Testaferri completed her dottorato in modern languages and literatures in Italy and obtained her Ph.D. in Italian medieval literature at the University of Toronto. She has edited Donne: Women in Italian Culture and co-edited Feminism in the Cinema. She has published articles on Boccaccio and on women issues and is presently teaching Italian literature at York University.

Fox Business, the conspiracy theory channel, hosts the Godfather of the Birthers
Blog ››› ››› TODD GREGORY
It's becoming clear that News Corp. has a strict policy on conspiracy theorists: The more the better, and the crazier the better.
Fox Business Network host Andrew Napolitano recently revealed himself to be a 9-11 Truther. Lou Dobbs, who left CNN after repeatedly dabbling in birtherism, has been hired to host his own show on Fox Business. ("Birther queen" Orly Taitz praised Fox's hiring of Dobbs as a "great move.") In fact, the broader Fox empire has a history of promoting birthers and Truthers.
But Napolitano helped Fox Business achieve a new level of crazy on his show last night when he hosted Jerome Corsi, who has actually accused President Obama of being an identity thief.
No, really. In September, Corsi said that President Obama "has stolen the identity of a natural-born citizen" and is "using someone else's Social Security number."
Corsi could fairly be described as the Godfather of the Birthers, having promoted the conspiracy theory in the national media at least as far back as August 2008, when he appeared on Fox & Friends to declare that Obama's presidential campaign had offered up a "false, fake birth certificate."
Corsi's obsession with Obama conspiracy theories has carried him around the globe. He was chased out of Kenya in 2008 after authorities there accused him of entering the country on a tourist visa when he was there instead to do business -- "researching" Obama's connections. Corsi also announced that he was traveling to Hawaii to "do what digging I can on the birth certificate."
On Napolitano's show last night, Corsi spouted exactly the sort of nonsense you would expect. While discussing the full-body scanners being used at airports, Corsi stated that "some pretty powerful financial interests" had a stake in the company that produces the scanners, including perpetual right-wing bogeyman George Soros. Corsi said that Soros was "one of the top shareholders" in the company and that "I think he sold a hundred thousand shares":
That isn't true. As we've documented, Soros reportedly held 11,300 shares in the parent company of the scanner-maker -- or 0.06 percent of its outstanding shares -- before reportedly selling them sometime this summer.
Later in the segment, Corsi made a disgusting accusation about TSA agents and their agency's hiring practices. Corsi said that "these employees at TSA are getting paid an average of about $25,000. TSA -- 100,000 employees -- has had a turnover in the last six years of 67,000 employees." Napolitano said to him, "You're telling me that two-thirds of the TSA's employees have been there for less than a year?"
Corsi responded, "That's -- most likely, yes. They've been turning over 67,000 in six years. And, Judge, all the employment psychology I've been reading and writing about in WorldNetDaily -- you're going to be putting out a notice, which is, 'Sexual perverts, people who want to grope, apply here.' And it's going to be the job description that's coming forward."
These smears are typical of Corsi's record. No legitimate news organization should pay any attention to him, let alone present him as an expert during a guest appearance. As we wrote previously:
Jerome Corsi is the guy who co-wrote Unfit for Command, a book so infamously inaccurate that it helped spawn the term "swiftboating" as a description of a political smear campaign.
That alone should tell you everything you need to know about Corsi, but there are so many other reasons he's not a credible figure. There's the birtherism. The appearance on a "pro-White" radio show. The bigoted comments on Free Republic. The promotion of laughable conspiracy theories about global government and the "North American Union." The failed Obama smear book.
If you're sane, this resume says, "Do not touch."
If you're Fox, it says, "Prime guest material."

Editor's Choice - Oct 23, 2012 Daily Top 3 - Oct 23, 2012
The inspiration for this cake was a black & aubergine gothic wedding, I pulled inspiration from all elements that were given to me including an invitation with tree branches & birds, a ruffled tulle headdress and more. Everything is fondant and the branches are made with floral wire wrapped in fondant. I used a bead mold for the bottom tier and ruffled each layer on top and bottom. The middle tier was used with a bark impression mat then brushed with a mix of purple color and vodka to add depth and color and the bird was hand cut. Thank you so much for letting me share this with you all again, I hope you enjoy it!

Based on each individual's clinical needs, treatment programs are created from a broad curriculum and a variety of holistic, traditional, and alternative treatment options, consisting of:
- Group counseling sessions
- Individual counseling sessions
- Holistic therapy
- 12-Step workshops
- Life skills workshops
- Educational seminars
- And other therapeutic offerings
All designed to enhance the sober experience and increase the chances of success in sobriety.
At The Delray Recover Center, we offer various psychological services in group and individual settings:
- CBT (Cognitive behavioral therapy) is a form of psychotherapy used to help people identify negative thoughts, cope with challenging situations, and create managed responses that are both healthy and effective.
- Existential Therapy focuses on the idea that our existence is never at a standstill; rather we are constantly recreating and improving ourselves. We move forward with self-awareness, freedom, responsibility, self-identification, and the development of purpose.
- Gestalt Therapy focuses on cohesively integrating all dimensions of the individual's personality to promote self- awareness and healthy coping mechanisms.
- Narrative Therapy centers on the idea that past experiences directly affect how the individual views and identifies him or herself. This therapy aims to evaluate the accuracy of past perceptions and make positive changes to promote self-esteem and healthy identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy focuses on expanding self-awareness and discovering new ways of life that are both healthy and personally fulfilling.
- Psychoanalytic Theory explores the early years of one's life as a heavy influence on current personality functioning.
- Reality Objectification aims to objectify the individual's views of the external world, enabling them to react in a healthy and responsible manner to all situations and circumstances beyond their control.
- REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) enables an individual to identify irrational thought patterns and replace them with healthy and rational ways of thinking.
We Can Help
The Delray Recovery Center approach is to evaluate, understand, and treat each person on an individual basis. We believe that allowing the individual the time to fully achieve goals in each phase strengthens and deepens the absorption of these new attitudes and behaviors, encourages reinforcement in a stable and safe environment, and provides a better diagnosis post-acute withdrawal of underlying conditions including anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorders.
Individuals are welcome to stay even after having completed the program, allowing each person time to develop confidence in their sobriety and coping techniques needed for the transition from rehab to daily life in society.

"The Lake Isle of Innisfree" expresses the idea that nature provides an inherently restorative place to which human beings can go to escape the chaos and corrupting influences of civilization. In his autobiography, Yeats writes that his poem was influenced by his reading of American writer Henry David Thoreau's Walden (1854), which describes Thoreau's experiment of living alone in a small hut in the woods on Walden Pond, outside Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau lived in his one-room house from 1845-1847, gardening, writing, and studying natural history. Thoreau championed the solitary, self-sufficient life lived in harmony with nature, considering it more authentic than a life spent balancing ledgers or working for someone else. He disdained the ways working for a living and acquiring material goods can control one's life. Explaining his motivation for the experiment, Thoreau writes in Walden:
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately,

Last Monday, great teachers across the country were acknowledged and dined in Orlando, Florida, by the Bright House cable networks. These teachers received $1,000 per person (or per team), a two-day excursion to Chicago, and a goodie from Tiffany's. The work they did was incredible. They blended mega-lessons from cable network programming–like Discovery shows, curriculum development, classroom-to-community
activities, and video/multimedia productions. They bound the lessons and resources into a big book for submission, and they were amazing. Click on the picture at the right from "Walk Like an Egyptian" and check out the three inches of tabs! It was rejuvenating to hear how much media helps in these
classrooms. The teachers were celebrated by the head of cable networks or their representatives and there was a great reception and, dare I say, even appetizers and an open bar. No certificated person had any alcohol, of course. But the spouses must have enjoyed the five-course dinner. Teachers were fodder for the paparazzi as the program was taped for broadcast on the Bright House network. Check out some video from the awards here. There was also a bag of swag for them, including Denzel Washington's inspired book and lots of other cool stuff, including some highly prized DEN tchotchke.
There were DEN members there,
including Nancy Keck, who told me she reads this blog. It made my whole trip worthwhile! Thanks, Nancy. One geeky note: I was honored to give the evening keynote and discovered that the computer would be more than 200 feet from the podium. Something to do with the set up for broadcasting the award. They had a killer remote that would work to change slides in the presentation, but there was no way I could see the computer. Hmmm. So I download the PowerPoint (images) into my nano,
and had a little techno-cheat sheet. It let me review the presentation before and during going on. Nano, nano.
Some projects worth borrowing: One group used the game "RISK" as a model. Students got control of a country when they received correspondence from it. Cool idea. Nancy's students explored the world and recorded their experiences in an actual steamer trunk. One class swabbed the school for cultures and found there were more bacteria on their desks than in the restroom. Studying medieval times, one class learned about armor from the local S.W.A.T. team and built a catapult for flinging watermelons. Learn about more great projects from the Bright House site.

When Kelsey Culver was a freshman, the University of Toledo's volleyball team streaked to 10 wins in its first 13 matches. Then the Rockets streaked the other direction with 15 consecutive losses.
"We graduated six players off that team, so we had only seven girls for our spring practices," Culver said yesterday.
"We knew we had to do a lot of hard work to get where we needed to be. And we've never stopped working."
The result? UT has clinched back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in more than two decades and is headed for tonight's quarterfinal round of the MAC Volleyball championships at the SeaGate Centre in downtown Toledo.
"That was a big incentive for us this season," Culver said, referring to the event being held at the SeaGate for the first time. "This is the furthest Toledo has ever advanced and we should have good fan support. Our goal is to play our best and, hopefully, win all the way through."
The Rockets (17-12) advanced by hosting and winning a first-round game for the first time earlier this week. They meet Western Michigan today at 5 p.m., hoping to avenge two regular-season losses to the Broncos.
"We haven't played our best against Western yet this year, so we'd like to take it as far as we can," Culver said.
WMU (18-8) finished tied for second place in the MAC West and earned the No. 4 seed for the tournament. Toledo captured the No. 5 seed, its highest ever, after a fourth-place finish in the West.
In other matches today, seventh-seeded Bowling Green meets No. 2 Eastern Michigan at 11 a.m., Miami faces Ball State at 1:30 p.m., and Northern Illinois takes on top-seeded Ohio at 7:30.
The winner of the UT-Western Michigan match faces the Northern Illinois-Ohio winner at 7 p.m. tomorrow, following the first semifinal game between the BG-Eastern winner and the Miami-Ball State winner at 4.
The championship game is slated for 1 p.m. Sunday.
Culver, a 6-2 middle blocker, is part of a UT senior class that includes fellow middle Corrie Magnus and outside hitters Chelsey Poquette and Melissa Cedergren. The squad also sports talented juniors in outside hitter Kate Bean and defensive specialist Lora Sarich.

Why is it that every California wedding instantly makes me want to pack my bags and head for those beautiful hills? Something about the laidback elegance. And the dreamy sunsets. The kind of weddings that feel so entirely effortless and yet so exquisitely crafted you can hardly believe they are real. As is the case with this next wedding photographed flawlessly by This Love of Yours Photography, who recently packed up those very bags and are now bringing their photography genius to the sunny state of California. Lucky ducks. Ok, so here we go. Just don't forget to check the gallery as there are loads more details tucked inside!
From the Bride… With only a couple of months to plan the wedding, my number one tip would be to reach out to friends and family to help you plan your wedding and find your vendors. One of our friends, who is just getting into the wedding industry, helped coordinate our wedding. Also our cinematographer and caterer came from recommendations from my mother's friends. The more help you can get to plan your wedding, the more you will be able to enjoy the process. One vendor we found ourselves was our photographer, This Love of Yours… Photography. Their photos take my breath away and bring me back to my wedding day. I am amazed on how they were able to capture our day so beautifully.
The second tip would be to find your wedding venue as soon as possible. Adam and I went to over ten different locations and researched hundreds more. There were so many venues that I ended up making a chart outlining each venue and our top priorities. Adam and I narrowed down our top priorities, which included: being able to hold 150-200 guests, being in close proximity to our home in the Bay Area, being able to have the reception until midnight, being able to have liquor not just wine, and being within our budget. After many visits to different venues and several hours of research to find our perfect venue, I stumbled upon the website for Estate Wedding and Events, where we found Caballo Estate. Caballo Estate is a charming equestrian stable set on 10 pristine acres in the beautiful Los Altos Hills. It met all of our venue requirements, and the second Adam and I visited Caballo Estate, we knew this venue was perfect for our wedding. It was us, classy but comfortable.
My favorite part of the day was walking down the aisle. After all of the planning and stressing out over each detail, at that moment, none of it mattered. It was just about Adam and me and celebrating our love and commitment for each other. Family and friends are very important to us, and we wanted to make sure that we included them in the wedding planning process and in the wedding. We were lucky enough to have my uncle, Monsignor Craig, officiate our wedding. Another way we were able to cherish the memory of our wedding and all of our friends and family was by having a thumbprint tree for our guests to fill. This way we will be able to have it up in our house for many years to come, and it will remind us of our friends and family on that special day.

Wintec CC saddle in BLACK?? So I think I've found the new close contact saddle I want, Wintec...BUUUUT everywhere I look online the only size I EVER see available in the black color is a 17.5"....why is that??? Does anyone know? The brown is available in every size but black is only 17.5", strange... The first website I checked it was on sale so I thought maybe 17.5" was just the only size they had LEFT in black, but when I started seeing the same thing on EVERY site I went to, I thought something strange is going on here! I called a tack shop and they can special order me black (they don't carry it in brown at all), but now I'm wondering if they even KNOW if it comes only in certain sizes or what?? I need a 16.5" which is why I'm not fretting! Does anyone know of any OTHER brands of black close contact saddles that are nice quality but in the $300-500 price range? Wintec is the only one so far I could find... |

Nice little review of Us naval aviation in the Pacific,
U.S. NAVAL AVIATION in the PACIFIC "The purpose of this review, which was prepared by officers on duty in the Operations Division, including Air Combat Intelligence officers with extensive service in thePacific, is to analyze the relation between air and sea power. It is based upon the experience of naval aviation in the war against Japan as recorded in the files of theNavy Department. Reports of the United States Strategic Bombing: Survey have also been consulted and the chart of the progress of the war has been taken from one of them.The danger inherent in any report confined to one aspect of the war is that it may mislead the reader into forgetting that the conflict was won by a combination of ground, naval, and air forces, each of which carried its share of the common burden. All operated within the framework of strategic plans, and it is the aim of this analysis to show how naval aviation fulfilled its part of those plans"PDF link
?Thank you, all the pdfs you bring here help my campaigns a lot.
An interesting document. I wish it had provided more detail about torpedoes. I have read a number of books by WWII torpedo pilots which result in my having a number of questions about the effectiveness of aerial torpedoes. Seems like a lot got dropped to no effect. Yes, I know about Taranto, Pearl Harbor, Midway,and the Yamato but at the last three attacks dive bombing also played a major role. It seems that the British had few successes with torpedoes. In virtually all instances it seems torpedo plane losses were much higher than dive bomber losses. This article mentions the use of torpedo planes in a bombing and ASW role and looking at naval aviation the torpedo plane rapidly disappear from the arsenal following the TBM.
In any event, I apologize for stealing the thread Robert. Thanks for posting an interesting historical document.
Heres another good one . Robert

There is this article Allen that mentions the US Navy's aerial torpedoes early in the war,

The article discusses the specific tradition of perfume container labels designed for and/or distributed on the Adeni market in the 20th century. The exemplary historical labels collected there in the years 2002-2007 disclose efforts of both local creativity and marketing by the international industry in those decades. Specifically the design, the poetic quality, and the written information on the labels give report of the various product ideals, marketing goals and strategies, and thus of Aden's exceptional supraregional history and embedment and the tailoring of a South Arabian and Islamic perfumery aesthetics.

- - Starting out in AQHA...
Starting out in AQHA... How good enough do you really have to be to be in an AQHA show? I've got an 8 year old QH and I think with a little work he could do it. (I would be doing HUS.) I've been to and watched many AQHA shows and know that the HUS are usually big Appendix quarter horses that are totally consistent. But at the last show I went to there were two girls there that were obviously just starting out, as they really stood out from the rest; they had small, plain horses, didn't have all the bling...but I applaud them for getting out there and showing. Of course, they didn't place, but they gave me confidence that I could do it. My horse will never be a big time HUS horse, just because he's not as big and his strides aren't as long, but I still really want to try it with him. My goal is to show him in an AQHA show next winter. (Our university hosts three per winter.) I was just wondering what you guys thought...how good enough you think you and your horse need to be. Also, what would I need in terms of tack, clothes, fake tails...anything special? |
Honestly i say get out there and try it! Take your horse and get him as smooth and constant as you can and then improve from there! Talk to coaches, handlers, owners, and see what advice they can give you! Nobody knows AQHA showing better than someone who does it a lot! Btw! If you do start showing AQHA i hope to be in the hunter under saddle shows soon! Breeding my HUS tb mare soon for a HUS baby! |

Considering the type and frequency of topics you start on this forum, I would say that no, you currently aren't ready to show at that level. Could you be in the future? Yes. But it is going to take work and you absolutely need to start working with a trainer. Have you done any schooling shows with this horse yet? I would start there before venturing into the AQHA pen. The horses are going to be very consistent and well prepped. Even if you are just going for the experience, you have to trust that you'll be able to ride safely and not interrupt anyone's ride. You'd most likely be showing in a novice class, so safety is very important. |
Check the show billets for Rookie classes. If they have them then those are great for a start. They are for horse and rider combos with less than 10 points. Also the all novice shows will many times have free clinics for competitors. My thought is, if you have the mony to spend (AQHA shows can be very expensive with one class costing 20 to 40 dollars depending on the amount of judges) and you understand that you may not place then get the experience. I usually place somewhere in the middle and occasionally place well in the eq classes but I very rarely win the class.... But I plan to. Someday. My big dream was to show in AQHA and I'm loving every show weekend. Surprisingly there are more friendly people in these shows then snotty people..... |
Posted via Mobile Device |
Another question...would I need to clip my horse? I know the majority of them are but I really wouldn't want to in the winter. Posted via Mobile Device |
Posted via Mobile Device |
The majority are kept under lights so they never grow a winter coat. A full body clip isn't required, but might be something to consider if lights aren't feasible for you. |
I don't keep mine under lights and I don't like the way they look clipped so I usually miss the March show because he is too fuzzy.... |

The music industry has been given shook up with a string of surprises so early in the early in the year. Not too long ago we just found out that there's something coming from Justin Timberlake in the form of music. Most likely a single (hopefully an album) that features Beyonce and Jay-Z. Well, Beyonce herself just announced a little surprise of her own.
Not too long ago, via facebook Beyonce announced that Destiny's Child has come together to record a new single titled "Nuclear." The song will appear on the Destiny's Child compilation Love Songs. Sony Legacy will be releasing it January 29, 2013 and it can be pre-ordered here.

Two men have been arrested near the rural home of singer Joss Stone on suspicion of conspiracy to rob and murder, police said Wednesday.
Devon and Cornwall Police say the men, aged 30 and 33, and from the Manchester area of northwest England, were arrested Monday morning near Stone's house in Cullompton, southwest England after residents reported a suspicious-looking vehicle.
Detective Inspector Steve Parker said the men "had in their possession information relating to an individual in the Cullompton area and items which lead us to suspect that they may have intended to commit a criminal offense."
The force would not confirm a report in The Sun newspaper that the men had swords, rope and a body bag, as well as maps and aerial photos of Stone's secluded property.
Parker said it was "important to stress that no properties have been burgled and no individuals have been harmed."
Police officers stood guard Wednesday outside the gates to the house, which is on a quiet country road.
Stone's London publicists, DWL, said the singer was aware of the arrests and was being kept up to date by the police.
They would not say whether 24-year-old Stone was at home when the men were arrested.
The men were being questioned Wednesday at a police station and have not been charged.
Stone came to fame in 2003 as a small-town teenager with a big, soulful voice, showcased on her best-selling debut album The Soul Sessions.

She has also taken acting roles, including that of Henry VIII's fourth wife, Anne of Cleves, in TV drama "The Tudors."
With a fortune estimated last month by the Sunday Times Rich List at 9 million pounds ($14.6 million), she still lives in the southwestern county of Devon where she was raised.
She is a friend of Prince William and was a guest at his wedding to Kate Middleton in April.
