What is Bootcamp?
So what are the benefits?
Who can come?
Everyone Can Come!
Your one stop fitness session
More than you would think!
BootCamp classes are a mix of traditional aerobic and body weight exercises and interval and strength training. They're designed to resemble a military boot camp – but don't be daunted, it just means they're outdoors, they involve training groups of people at once, and they make sure that everyone gets the most out of their training
We've outlined the benefits of both early-morning exercise and outdoor exercise elsewhere on this website, so check those out! Basically, there are tons of benefits to BootCamp, including physical health benefits (reducing high blood pressure, reducing risk of disease), weight benefits (we can help you lose weight and tone up), and mental health benefits (reducing stress and lifting mood). It's also a super fun way to exercise which sets you up for the rest of the day and introduces you to some great people.
Absolutely anyone - our BootCamp is open for anyone, any gender, any age, any shape, any experience, any fitness level! We have a totally non-judgemental environment and we embrace our differences.
James Butler
I can't believe how much this bootcamp helped me, the first time I went i didn't realize how bad my fitness levels were. However i have been a few times now and my fitness levels have increased tenfold.
Sarah Cole
Thank you for your help at this bootcamp, I have been a few time and every time has been perfect. So glad I made the decision to book my first visit, otherwise id never have been able to fit in my wedding dress.

When it comes to bootcamps, none are as brilliant as this, the trainers are brilliant they really know how to push you to your limits.
Fitness is not just sports, it's your ability to do day-to-day activities easily.

It's a programme we've personally designed to build strength and improve fitness through a variety of intense interval exercises over a one-hour period. We offer nutrition advice, too, if you need it – just come and talk to Angel and she'll help you out!

I have a horrible habit of wasting so much of my present moment time constantly thinking about everything and everyone! If you are like me, it can be so difficult to focus on what I'm doing right now at this exact moment (just caught myself thinking about something I need to do as I write this article). I'm constantly distracted by thoughts and most of the time these distractions running through my head are about what has already happened or what may happen in the future.
So, what does this have to do with photography?
Try to lose yourself in the present moment by focusing and concentrating on what you are doing at that moment as you engage your subject. Being completely present will allow you to be fully engaged and to see your subject with a new and exciting perspective. How do you do this? It takes constant practice, but it can be done! You must first be aware of all those distractions in your head. Importantly, try not to stop those thoughts from flowing, just be aware of them and notice them and as you watch them, they will simply fade. With practice, it does work! The key is to be aware that you are distracted and that you are not focused.
I admit this was difficult for me to understand at first. We have a greater intelligence than all those thoughts racing through our head. For example, have you ever encountered a situation where you just reacted in the moment, you knew what to do without obsessively thinking about your next move? Well, imagine yourself in front of a subject (I know this requires thinking : ), your head is clear, no distracting thoughts, you are fully engaged and you know it's the right opportunity to capture or you instinctively adapt to what you know will be a better opportunity. We are more than our thoughts and those distracting ones get in our way and fog our ability to see clearly.
I think it's important to clarify my philosophy on photography. For me, it is a life experience and it's not necessarily about the final outcome although I certainly enjoy sharing and viewing the work of so many wonderful artists. Our goal as artists should be to get lost in the process of creating, not worrying about making money or whether our art will fit a certain mold or get a certain number of comments. These thoughts are distractions and keep us from our full potential. I have not mastered what is written in this article, but I practice as much as possible and I do think it has made a difference in my personal style and I hope you will find this article of value.
I am so excited by the comments and feedback about this article/advice and I hope you will visit my new blog - www.presentmomentphotography.org. I know there are a lot of great site such as this one, but I wanted to create something simple where we could discuss more about Present Moment Photography, I hope you will check in from time to time and please share your experiences and advice, please! Cheers, jason.
Mindfulness! A great technique to learn to use not just for photography but for every situation. It does, as you say take lots of practice but photography for me is the one area I find the easiest to stay in the present moment. Great article. Thank you for the reminder.
This is an interesting post and an interesting view on photography whici can be linked to meditation.
Wow, great responses, advice and links! Thanks for all of the great info and opinions!
I captured this image of the cabin that is located at the site of the Nancy Hanks Memorial - the mother of Abraham Lincoln - that can be reached by driving a long winding narrow road for several miles off U.S. 50 in Mineral County, West Virginia.
The site of the memorial provides expansive view of the surrounding mountains. I was there for over an hour and didn't see another human being or hear a sound. It's a deeply contemplative site that looks and feels detached from the modern world.
I captured this present moment image of the cabin just as I arrived at the memorial. It had just begun to rain. Being there gave me an opportunity to reflect on the incredible story of Abraham Lincoln, a story his mother didn't live to see. Nancy Hanks died when Lincoln was a boy.
More information about and directions to the Nancy Hanks Memorial can be read @ http://www.takemytrip.com/08vapawv/08n_13a.htm
Wow, thanks Jason.
"Our goal as artists should be to get lost in the process of creating, not worrying about making money or whether our art will fit a certain mold or get a certain number of comments."
Thank you for this. It is exactly what I needed to hear today - and every day.
And Erin - I completely agree. People who send me Pinterest photos and ask me to make them look like that - well - it puts a huge damper on the whole shoot. It just becomes a job.
Thank you Jason :) Good read! Here is a little something that I hope you will like, coincidence, i was just reading your article and this within last 24h :) It is by John Suler:
Great article! Personally I find following book quite useful in dealing with my own obsessive thinking - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Power_of_Now
I like to practice the immersion in the present moment in the nature, in the mountains or on the beach - http://tomassobekphotography.co.nz/gallery3/index.php/Landscapes/Okuru-Haast-beach/120102_Driftwood_on_sandy_beach_near_Haast
Great philosophy for all of us to really get out of our head - photography does that for me. If any of your readers are interested in further insight into this philosophy Eckhart Tolle has provided us with his written gift to the world "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth".
Actually, photography (and gardening) is something that helps me slow down and actually be in the moment. During the workweek I'm always in that hectic-million-mile-an-hour mindset but picking up a camera always slows me down and helps me relax :)
Jason, I thought this was great advice, aside from the photography. As I sat reading it, I found myself focusing on your words rather than thinking, "Okay, how could I incorporate this into my photography, next picture, etc." I think it's a great reminder for when I'm not behind the camera...
An interesting article, that coincides with my thoughts while out with my camera today. I became aware that as I immersed myself in the shots, my thoughts receded, and simplified and I became more meditative. After a couple of hours of this, I was in quite a different place than when I started, and felt more energized, more creative, and more peaceful. And this despite trying to learn more about the science (as opposed to the art) of taking pictures with a camera.
There are many ways to meditate ... being out with a camera is a pretty good way for my western mind!
Ha ha like someone else commented my first thought reading this was 'do you maybe have ADHD!' I'm usually very distracted but when I'm out with my camera taking photos I usually feel like I'm in a different world where all those distractions don't exist. My favorite subject is our city's geese and ducks and between watching them and taking photos of them the 'cares of the world' disappear. However I am far from a professional photographer so maybe that helps a lot too! I don't worry about making a photo for anyone but just capturing an expression or moment.
Thank you for the kind words and great comments! I'm enjoying the art as well, thank you for sharing!
Great! I was in need of something like this. Lately I was loosing interest in photography. I never thought that it was related with my problem that I think too much...about random useless things.
http://thisisbjaysblog.blogspot.com/ My photoblog
Your second picture shown on this page reminds of one I took some days ago.
I definitely like this photography style.
I definately find that if you become immersed with your subject (or scene) your imagination widens and somehow the photo comes out better.
I was so immersed in this scene that I sat for an hour just looking at it before taking the photo
just reading this takes me to a peaceful place in my head
Love this article. Love how your notion applies to all aspects of our lives too, not just photography.
Sometimes we just need to stop for a moment and take a breath in the present moment.
I guess compared to the advice I suffer from the opposite, I hardly think, apart from whether the composition looks alright and shoot! Maybe this is because I just click for myself.
I call this as a good advice rather than calling it an article.
Sometimes i have few thoughts rendering my mind.
Great advice...!
An interesting viewpoint on today's "multi-tasking", we are constantly distracted and often never realize it.
Sometimes a moment "appears", you'd think we all would learn from those rare moments.....
This is excellent advice. It is way too easy to get caught up in over-thinking things. I love shooting with my kids. I put a camera in their hands and let them at it. They don't think, they just shoot. Not all of the images are good, but there are usually a few that are pretty fantastic.
One of my favorite shots is from a few years ago when I was just getting started. We were on a family camping trip and my two oldest were doing some coloring one night before bed. Now, I'll readily admit that I had no idea what I was doing when I took these shots. That I got decent results at the time was pure luck. If I were to replicate this now, there would be a lot more thought that went into it. Who knows, maybe the results would be better, maybe not.
And here lies the downfall with shooting weddings and portraits for others. So much of the artistry gets taken away by client demands and expectations. It seems like you end up shooting only from a list of what they want (I get e-mailed lists from Pinterest of poses my clients want me to "copy" - it's ridiculous).
Nice post Jason. The wife would say I have ADD, I just say what? Anyway when it comes to photography I pretty much have a goal in mind, a shot preconceived in my mind. Planning helps with that. Sometimes drawing it out on paper or at least a mental image of the end result. So clearing everything does work. I like your shots man, real nice work.
Here's a shot from the other week. The only thing I couldnt get to cooperate are the clouds.
Nicely written post Jason - I too suffer from the, "Wait, I gotta do this... err and that!" while I'm doing a million different other things mentality. However, with a little motivation, and practice I'm sure I can get things under control.
I think part of the problem, for me anyway, is just that there's not enough time in the day - Well, at least not for everything, I'm sure I'm sure if I cut out some of the less important things like watching TV and playing video games I could be less distracted, but then it's nice to have some fun every once in a while.
I too am not really in this for the money, I just like sharing my shots on, my little photo blog, connecting with people on various networks and looking at all their amazing photographs. There truly are some inspiring shots out there!
Thanks for the post!

This is great, it shows how powerful and widespread an internet community can be. A person selling a Powerbook on eBay is contacted by someone trying to scam him. This is a tale of danger, revenge, spies, and a hilarious idea. Best of all, its true. And not in a "based on a true story" way that movies are so often made. Scamming the Scammer

Where the Wind Leads
A Refugee Family's Miraculous Story of Loss, Rescue, and RedemptionBook - 2014
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
A true story about Vinh Chung and his family, who fled Vietnam when he was three years old. The book recounts their harrowing experience as refugees, escaping on a boat, and ultimately settling in the US. They struggled and strove to build a new life in an unfamiliar country with a different culture and language. An engrossing story about survival and overcoming adversity.
I really enjoyed this book. I don't think it should be classified as an immigrant story or a Christian story. It is a first hand account of how a family struggles for survival and identity. The family members are well developed and real. It reads like a novel although it is a true story of a family without their homeland.
This is Vinh's true story of being one of the "Boat People" who escaped Vietnam and were rescued by a US boat, sponsored and housed in America. You understand why they had to leave Vietnam and how they were lucky enough to start again. They work very hard in their new country to make something of themselves.

Are you an entrepreneur? If you answer "no" just because you don't own a business, you may not be right. Being an entrepreneur is all about mindset. So, are you an entrepreneur or an employee? Let's find out:
- Entrepreneur thinks and works for X times yearly growth while normal person (employee) thinks and works for X% growth per year.
- Entrepreneur considers problem as opportunity while normal person consider it as problem only.
- Entrepreneur is solution oriented person while normal person is blame game oriented
- Entrepreneur devotes his time in analyzing things while normal person devotes his time in following things.
- Entrepreneur is passionate and determined for providing something better to others while normal person is dedicated to make his life better (not necessarily himself).
- Entrepreneur is passionate to learn new things and make his life as a continuous learning cycle and employs learn only the necessary stuff.
- Risks are essential part of entrepreneur life while employee always tries to play safe game.
- Failure can't shake true entrepreneur while small success is more than sufficient for normal person.
- Normal people have small goals like buying home, cars and other luxuries and remain trapped in it while entrepreneur has bigger goal to achieve first.
- Normal person compares himself with other normal person and dies with jealousy, superiority complex and insecurity while entrepreneur compares himself with successful person and tries his best to be better than previous day.
- Decisions of life of normal person are based on the market trends( for example – if higher degree is able to give more salary package, person will jump without thinking what he actually wants to do) while that of entrepreneur are based on their will and goal.
The only difference is of thinking. Goal of employee is to get settled with assumed amount of money per month in hand, getting some so called luxury stuff and wait for death while that of entrepreneur is to experiment, learn, analyze and improve stuff for normal people.

I can not answer the query in the title, at least not however, due to the fact I know quite tiny about Pioneer Woman. The greatest selling point for the molded plastic dinnerware was that the dishes were certainly unbreakable. Ree Drummond is a bestselling author and blogger – her blog, The Pioneer Woman" (where she shares recipes, stories, and photographs of her family members) is wildly common. Great luck and thank you to Land Lakes® Butter and The Pioneer Woman for generously sponsoring this giveaway! Find out Pioneer Woman kitchen tools that are versatile and made to operate for your life.
She's been on several book tours by this time and now has a new show on The Food Network (which disappoints me, Food Network….I watch The Next Meals Network Star and you're usually going on about having star power, but that the most important factor is being able to actually cook effectively and comprehensive culinary understanding.. this move feels like you happen to be just attempting to make a couple of bucks off of Pioneer Woman's massive popularity.
If we double that quantity to account for the known rise in site visitors (and that's just an estimate-it's additional worth pointing out that most of the internet site targeted traffic calculators are unreliable, and that the actual statistics are kept below wraps ), it's feasible that the Pioneer Woman net worth is augmented by as significantly as $2,500,000 per year from web site revenue alone.
Just before I study this book, I knew Ree Drummond from her successful blog, The Pioneer Woman wear 1 will uncover anything from property schooling ideas, to photographs of her life on the ranch, to the most mouth watering recipes anywhere in the world. I'll be sharing with you some of my extremely own Caribbean recipes as effectively as a bit a lot more about some of the key factors why I Enjoy this Caribbean cookbook and its delicious Caribbean cuisine recipes. You can even update your pots and pans with Pioneer Woman cookware created from sturdy and colorful aluminum. I'm a sides-girl at heart, and the notion of those mashed potatoes just sounds so out-of-this globe excellent!
Recipes consist of queso fundido con tequila shrimp-tortilla soup berries with tequila cream and a spicy Tequila Sunrise cocktail. Whoever invented balsamic vinegars is 1 of my heroes—I enjoy it. My husband's a meat and potatoes kinda guy, but at times I try tricking him into being a meat and tomatoes kinda guy. I know the fundamentals of their dates, how she changed from an L. A. girl to the Pioneer Woman.

E.P.A. Wanted Years to Study Lead Paint Rule. It Got 90 Days.
WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court on Wednesday ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to revise its nearly 17-year-old standard for dangerous levels of lead in paint and dust within one year, a rare legal move that amounts to a sharp rebuff of President Trump and Scott Pruitt, the E.P.A. administrator.
The decision also called attention to the persistent threat of lead paint to children in millions of American homes, four decades after the federal government banned it from households.
"This is going to protect the brains of thousands of children across the country," said Eve C. Gartner, a staff attorney for Earthjustice who helped argue the case on behalf of groups pushing for tougher standards. "It's going to mean that children that otherwise would have developed very elevated blood lead levels will be protected from the damage associated with that, assuming E.P.A. follows the court order," she said.

Maybe it's still just wishful thinking at this point, but I can't help but feel that Trump's firing of the FBI director who was leading the investigation about his collusion with Russia has got to be the smoking gun that begins to sway the tides towards his inevitable impeachment.
I've always thought that ever since the election, Trump's best bet politically would've been for him to tell Congress to organize an independent investigation right off the bat to prove to those against him as well as to protect the integrity of the American election – if he really had nothing to hide, it should've been an easy enough task and he could only come out at the top after the investigation had found that he'd done nothing wrong.
But of course, the high road is no match for Trump's ego, and instead his administration has played the same unconvincing line of, "There's nothing to see here, let's move along…" that the rest of us have been right to question, and then he makes his most suspicious move to date.
At least his supporters were right in that he's definitely not a politician because a politician would've played this whole thing way better! 😛
So the last month or two, I've seriously wondered if Trump will even make it through his entire first year in office, and in that direction I think this was a positive move because it's getting harder and harder for even his most ardent of supporters to admit that something just doesn't feel right. Boing Boing shared an interesting link today to a spreadsheet someone was compiling of responses on Twitter from every member of Congress about Comey's firing and it's very clear to look down party lines and see almost every Republican remaining silent on the matter, which to me is telling in that they're not exactly jumping to Trump's defense on the matter, either…
Now don't get me wrong, as much as I'd like to see something concrete happen sooner than later, I don't necessarily expect miracles anytime soon, and so I'm sure we'll likely hear even more ramblings about fake news and paranoia and how everyone is out to get him, except the majority everyone who is still somehow supporting him? 😉
And even if/when he does get impeached, it's still going to be rough waters because Mike Pence isn't exactly a saint and Paul Ryan is kind of awful, too. The full line of succession is here – at least Ben Carson and Betsy DeVos are pretty far down on the list! But I think you've got to take on one demon at a time and hopefully an event as traumatic as the president leaving office would put the rest of our politicians on notice that it's time for a REAL change.
We'll see, and in the meantime I'm going to just soak up every glimmer of hope that I can scavenge as the Trump administration continues to dismantle our society with the remaining power that they've been granted. But I think their days are numbered … I've got to think that for my own sanity, anyways. We'll see…

FactoryCity » Does OpenID need to be hard?
Prompted by posts by Randy Reddig and Tony Stubblebine and a conversation with Elliott Kember, I wanted to address, yet again, the big fat stinking elephant in the room: OpenID usability and the paradox of choice.
Elliott proposed a pretty clear picture of what he thinks OpenID should look like on StackOverflow, given the relative value of each provider to him:

ASTORIA (PIX11) — A man in Queens was arrested after he killed his mom's 1-year-old dog by throwing it down a trash compactor Thursday night, the New York Post reported.
Kamel Wilder, 26, snapped at the Yorkie named Chewy because he wouldn't stop barking, police said. He allegedly grabbed the dog and threw him from the sixth-floor garbage shoot at his home on Astoria Boulevard and 32nd Street to stop the noise.
"Defenseless. How could he do this to an innocent puppy?" a neighbor said to the Post, adding that a newborn baby is also living in the apartment.
Wilder was arrested and charged with aggravated cruelty to an animal, police said. The charge is considered a felony.

Working on the RPCFN: Shift Subtitle I found myself having to work with files input as a stream (or anyway that's how I wanted to approach the problem; streams are efficient to me). In order to give my code any sort of unit testing justice I needed to mock the file system. The challenge expressly forbids any Ruby gems from being used in the script itself – and maybe by extension the unit tests as well – but I could not see devoting the time necessary to write a mocking framework for the file system.
I found a gem that does precisely what I needed named Construct. Unfortunately there is a bug with Ruby 1.8.6 on Windows in regards to clean up of temp files. The problem is that when attempting to clean up a Errno::EACCES is raised causing the unit test to fail (or you to write a lot of rescue blocks).
A workaround I came up with was to replace the rmtree method in the Pathname class within my unit test to perform no clean up. Not the best approach I am sure, but it let me get on with my work.
# something_test.rb
require "test/unit"
require 'construct'
require 'something'
class Pathname
# windows has problems with temp files created by Ruby # http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/1494 def rmtree nil end end
class SomethingTest < Test::Unit::TestCase

Origami-bateau | Origami Instructions Flower | Bateau De Papier Musique
Origamie facile
By this I mean that we will no longer have a shut system typical of Origami in which a procedure exists to create a model and can return to the starting point. It is arguable it is the closed-system through which can some- how break, this is the real characteristic of Origami. ShapingRegular figures such as triangles, pentagons are well established for Origami.
Avion en papier
Origami Instructions Free Online Plan also shows the results graphically of moving away from the 'purest' form of Origami in all the eight directions. In some cases I use marked the art as 'open-ended', for example paper-cuts.
Origami fleur
Uchiyama is reported as acquiring Origami Heart Dollar a patent in 1908 for 'KOKO'. style origami which appears to be the same in principle. Japanese books are filled with slitting to achieve hearing or a tail or even legs. Perhaps one of the most recognized examples of theme 'slits to avoid folding' is in Fred Rohm's Festival pony in which 2 cuts are made, one for the ears and the other to provide enough points for the thighs. Rohm folded his Festival pony without cuts but the technique is then much more complex. Thus we have 2 motives for cutting appearing here; one to create new opportunities and the other to avoid the complexities of
a model achieved only by folding.
Origami facile
Kent du Pre has done such work on Symmetric figures such as stars from which flowers can be folded. Irregular figures have came out occasionally, but the most extreme form only occurs in Paper Magic with Rolf Harris's models. Silhouettes have zero restrictions in the Origami sense and are of course carefully related to paper trimming. In its simplest form cuts are made earlier to folding in a symmetric and planned way which will 'open up' the fabric available without the need for excessive density. The most recent point out of the techniques is by Toshie Takahama who refers to it Bateau En Papier as Kirikomi and distinguishes it as typical of very early Japanese Origami.
Fleur origami
In a corner of the Livelihood Industry Pavilion at EXPO', electricity was used to make Origami pigeons flap their wings. Modelling This is now usual in animal folds to call for a final modeling particularly if foil has recently been used and one can make sure of the materials remaining in place. A contemporary example of this is in Pat Crawford's models. Neal Elias who probably led the move in the West to 3 DIMENSIONAL insists on any modeling following the folding The thought of wetting the paper appears to be Japanese in origin was
Fleur en papier
The cutting out of holes and so forth. to indicate eyes and so forth is sometimes found in Japanese books and we are obviously coping with method which is becoming open-ended. When we fold in a symmetric way to prepare our paper for cutting the folding has obviously become secondary (2). Honda has called this kind of paper-craft Origami Crane Mon-Kiri (which means crest-making). The last step in the slitting or cutting is paper-cutting, some of the finest examples are probably from China and plainly here we have an open-ended Art form. Supporting A way of moving away from the 'pure' central form is that of supporting or adding display mechanics to the models. In its most basic form we may use stuff, staples or 'blue tac' to hold a model in the desired pose and position. Or we may use wiring or credit card. The most unusual form of 'display mechanics' that We am knowledgeable about is by Toyoaki Kawai.
Bateau en papier
The particular associated arts are Un Bateau En Papier De 20m De Long Qui Flotte Weaving cloth and Macrame which are open-ended. However with string we can have 'Cats Cradles' which is a closed-systems game with direct analogie to Origami. Multi-layer Toshie Takahama has produced some superb examples of this variation of Origami. Typically the sheets of paper are folded together but usually opened at the end to show the multi-layers usually with different colors. In flower folding and possible doll-making the multi-layer technique is exploited for its own sake with little or no folding engaged. Multi-Part Isao Honda (15) was probably the first to create techniques involving 2 separate sheets of document each folded to symbolize some part of the creature Origami Owl Lanyard and then brought together. The concept may well be traditional; if not in the manner Honda uses it - see for example the Pagoda in Paper Wonder. Recently kits have made an appearance for folding a monster from a number of squares of different sizes.
Comment faire un avion en papier
In the most extreme combinations of water and document we are, naturally , in the world of fun which is evidently an open-ended art. DecoratingThe simplest step from a single color is one side colored and one white or plain. A great deal of modern Origami exploits this colour difference. The delightful example is Joan Homewood's Avion En Papier Robin. We can use the texture of our material which need not even be evade or paper. Neal Elias collects patterned foil and has shown models in 3 colours which depend after deciding on the best pattern and cutting his material to get the colour exactly where he wants them. A more restricted form of decoration occurs in Japanese papers which are already printed with a design well suited for a unique model. The end of this process is evidently the decoration of the final model and therefore into the decorative art proper which is open-ended. Lengthening By simply stretching our square we obtain rectangles then ribbon and finally string.

Hobby Boss 1/48 F-105D Thunderchief
By Gary Meinert
For the history of the subject and my first look, in-box review, see the October 2008 Internet Modeler. To recap, the Hobby Boss (HB) kit is essentially a smaller and simpler version of the Trumpeter 1/32 scale F-105D.
My Thunderchief
Construction Issues
The most fundamental problem with this kit is that it is over-engineered. There are too many features (open gun bay, open radar, open refueling probe bay, engine & separate rear fuselage, separate control surfaces-- including the extreme step of molding separate spoilers, etc.). If you are the type of modeler who likes everything hanging out, then this HB kit is made for you. Go ahead, display your toy-like engine. I, however, prefer a realistic flightline presentation of a closed-up jet.
The intake splitter plates (parts F-47 and F-48) did not line up properly, so I cut off the mounting pins for better positioning.
The main gear legs are very long and skinny, just as on the real aircraft. This unfortunately makes the model wobble, but my main concern was beefing- up the attachment point in the wheel well, which I accomplished by installing a collar made from plastic tubing. I didn't bother with metal gear (which is only available for the Monogram F-105) because it would also have a problematic attachment even if it fit the HB kit.
The drop tanks were another hassle, since the panel lines did not match up well on left and right halves.
Other conversion steps included:
1) removing the strike camera/ECM fairing from the lower nose
2) removing the ECM antennae from the top of the tail fin
3) removing the dorsal beacon light housing from the spine
4) filling the gun gas vents on part F-13
5) filling six pairs of tiny rear fuselage vents
6) omitting the rear fuselage afterburner cooling scoops (parts B11 and C-13) and removing the underlying raised plates
7) removing the raised reinforcement plates from the wing lower surfaces
8) creating (with decals) a new square vent in the rear fuselage near the national insignia on both sides
First, the entire cockpit sits too high and it is obvious. If you were a 1/48 scale pilot, you wouldn't be able to see through the windscreen because the instrument panel and glare shield are so high. I elected to use the AMS resin replacement cockpit, which corrects this problem, and is much better detailed as well.
Second, the ventral fin is far too thick, so I cut it off and replaced it with a superior Quickboost resin fin.
And third, the main wheels have grossly-oversized oval depressions molded into the sides. These depressions were filled and sanded.
Other Improvements
To further improve the model, I used metal tubing to create a new pitot tube. I also added brake lines made from solder wire, and I drilled the two small lightening holes under each of the large canopy hinge arms.
Additionally, I scratch-built the two tiny yellow pegs that protrude as part of the canopy lock mechanism. I also scratch-built the UHF blade antenna on the lower forward fuselage. I scrounged two tiny parts to serve as the probe and AOA sensor on the forward fuselage.
I wanted a clean aircraft, so I did no weathering except on the speed brake petals and certain vents. I applied a light wash in the wheel wells. Speaking of the wells, I was unable to pin down the color for the early 1960s period. It could have been natural metal, silver, green, or yellow. I took a wild guess and chose chromate yellow (Humbrol HU 81), since this color was used by Republic on the F-84 and F-105B wells.
I purchased Superscale Sheet 481219, which is touted as being for silver F-105Ds and to fit the Hobby Boss kit. Even though I painted my own unit markings, I wanted this sheet for the generic decals: national insignia, rescue markings, stencils, etc. Unfortunately, the Superscale sheet contains many errors and omissions. I had to dig into my decal dungeon for replacements.
None of the kit decals were used.
My principal references for this project were:
--Roll Call: Thud by Campbell and Hill
--Century Jets by Airtime Publishing
--Walk Around F-105 by Squadron/Signal
--F-105 in Detail & Scale by Bert Kinzey
Still, with enough sheer grunt I was able to get an acceptable result. I welcome the Thunderchief to my collection of Century Series jets.

The Asian Studies Program at SUNY New Paltz conducted a curriculum development project in India under the Fulbright-Hays Group Projects Abroad Program in 2010. Twelve participants, including university faculty from SUNY New Paltz and the College of Mount Saint Vincent and secondary and high school teachers from area schools traveled to India in January 2010. The five K-12 teacher participants were from New Paltz Elementary School, New Paltz High School, Cornwall High School, Manhattan Comprehensive Night and Day High School, and Westchester Arc. The program focused on the contemporary culture and society of India as well as its rich historical contributions.
The overseas phase of this project consisted of a 4-week program that included field visits and formal instruction by Indian scholars focusing on the cultural and religious diversity of India, both historically and in a contemporary setting. The major project sites visited are Kolkata, Varanasi, Delhi, Mumbai, and Goa. Among the many field visits planned, the group had the opportunity to visit archeological/historical sites and museums in the major cities as well as at Sarnath and Ajanta/Ellora accompanied by regional experts.
A primary focus of the study tour was to observe and understand the religious diversity in India. This was accomplished by the study of both ancient and contemporary Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian sites in the project locations. Other activities included cultural activities, visits to local schools and colleges, social interaction with individuals and families in urban and rural areas, and the acquisition of resource material for teaching and curriculum development.
Upon return, participants reconvened at SUNY New Paltz for follow-up workshops to evaluate program success and to develop and refine teaching modules resulting from this academic project. Sunita Bose and Akira Shimada of SUNY New Paltz collaborated with Thomas Mounkhall of the World History Institute to produce material for a Global Studies curriculum for teachers.
Among the resources currently available:
The PowerPoint presentations can be downloaded and used to provide a visual journey through contemporary India, based on pictures taken while in India. These presentations can be used to augment lessons on Indian society and culture and can form the foundation for deeper understanding of modern India and its complexities.
For further information and resources, please contact Sunita Bose, Project Director, Fulbright Group Projects Abroad, SUNY New Paltz at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Center For Research Regional Education and Outreach (CRREO) recognizes the value of research done at SUNY New Paltz that supports the work of interested teachers and others in the region and state.

IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD(R) facilitates a Global Dialogue on Fatherhood and Men's Issues which explores and addresses key challenges -- mental and physical health, real-life options, poverty, hunger, homelessness, Fatherlessness, parental alienation, mass incarceration, religious and ethnic intolerance -- which prevent Men and Boys from living healthier, purpose-driven, and longer lives.
10 February, 2010
For a number of reasons and in many ways, 2009 was a year in which boundaries -- visible to some, yet devastatingly inhibiting to all -- were transcended. It was a year of hope and inspiration and a year in which Life threw us a few curve balls. Yet we managed to scramble to our feet, dust ourselves off, and get back in the game. It was also a year in which positive male role models from all Walks of Life throughout our global village were honored and recognized on International Men's Day which was observed on Thursday, 19 November 2009. Australia, Canada, Chile, China, Georgia, Ghana, India, Ireland, Italy, Jamaica, Malta, Moldova, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, and the United States are a sample of the countries that participated in the worldwide observance of 2009 International Men's Day and its theme "Positive Male Role Models". Newspaper headlines, websites, blogs, and online social media networks such as FACEBOOK, and TWITTER, heralded 2009 International Men's Day as a call for global collaboration to address the challenges and problems men face; improve gender relations between men and women; and promote gender equality. This global celebration and honoring of the selfless sacrifices and contributions that our Fathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, Brothers, and Sons unceremoniously make to families, communities, nations, and our planet is speedily moving Men's Issues to the center of the world stage.
Trinidad and Tobago was the first nation to celebrate International Men's Day ("IMD") on 19 November 1999. Why November 19th? The IMD celebration in Trinidad and Tobago was conceived and coordinated by Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, a History Lecturer at the University of West Indies and IMD's founder. November 19th is the birthday of Dr. Teelucksingh's father and his role model. Dr. Teelucksingh also describes November 19th as the day his country's football team "created a level of unity which crossed gender, religious, and other ethnic divisions".
Why did Dr. Teelucksingh see a need for IMD?
"I realized there was no day for men . . . some have said that there is Father's Day. But what about young boys, teenagers, and men who are not Fathers?" Dr. Teelucksingh observed.
So, what is IMD about?
IMD highlights positive male role models – "every day working class men who are living decent and honest lives". IMD is about creating a safer and better world. IMD has Core Objectives which were initially created in 1999 by Dr. Teelucksingh. The Core Objectives which were formally ratified in 2009 by the IMD Coordination Committee, chaired by Dr. Teelucksingh, appear below:
• To promote positive male role models; not just movie stars and sports men but everyday, working class men who are living decent, honest lives.
• To celebrate men's positive contributions to society, community, family, marriage, child care, and to the environment.
• To focus on men's health and wellbeing; social, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
• To highlight discrimination against men; in areas of social services, social attitudes and expectations, and law.
• To improve gender relations and promote gender equality.
• To create a safer, better world; where people can be safe and grow to reach their full potential.
When asked to comment about the Core Objectives for IMD, Dr. Teelucksingh offered the following:
"These illuminating objectives have been designed to strengthen and provide direction to the Global Men's Movement. Its all-inclusive nature will ensure there will be a better world for future generations. The carefully defined themes will be embraced by persons from all walks of life. These six powerful pillars will become the blueprint for a movement which will positively impact on the lives of the oppressed, poverty-stricken, alienated and marginalized.".
Several weeks after the beginning of the last quarter of 2009, Warwick Marsh of Australia brought together individuals from diverse geographic locations and professional backgrounds. Marsh who is the IMD Global Coordinator and Founder of Dads4Kids Fatherhood Foundation (http://www.fathersonline.org) created a Global Team that worked to raise awareness and interest in the worldwide observance of 2009 IMD. Who were members of the Global Team? Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh (Trinidad and Tobago), Founder of International Men's Day, History Lecturer at the University of West Indies, and Chairman of the IMD Coordination Committee; Jason Thompson, IMD Historian and Global Promotions Coordinator (Australia); Elizabeth Celi, Ph.D., MAPS (Australia); Uma Challa (India), IMD Coordinator for India; David Hatfield (Canada), a leadership consultant and facilitator and IMD Coordinator for Canada; and D.A. Sears who served as the IMD Coordinator for the United States.
IMD Global Team members kept in touch with one another through e-mail. E-mail was also the predominant vehicle used by IMD Global Team members to communicate information about the worldwide observance of 2009 International Men's Day to individuals, Men's Groups, Fatherhood Groups, institutions, and grassroots community organizations. A consistent flow of press releases concerning 2009 International Men's Day were distributed to the electronic and print media, individuals, Men's Groups, institutions, Fatherhood Groups, community grassroots organizations, Fatherhood Practitioners, and Fatherhood Advocates and uploaded to blogs, websites, FACEBOOK, and LinkedIn. "Tweets" about International Men's Day 2009 were conveyed on TWITTER. The Dads4Kids Fatherhood Foundation funded a promotional video podcast for 2009 International Men's Day which was scripted, researched, directed, and produced by three 21-year old men and posted on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gy6Mh_W9r8I&feature=player_embedded). In less than 24 hours, the video posted on You Tube received 153 hits!
Forty-eight hours before the worldwide observance of 2009 International Men's Day, DADS ON THE AIR (http://www.dadsontheair.net and http://www.893fm.com.au/On-Air), devoted its entire program to 2009 International Men's Day. DADS ON THE AIR is one of the world's longest running radio programs that explores Fatherhood issues and a "wide range of social issues around gender and parenthood"; actively promotes a positive view of men, boys, Fatherhood, and co-parenting; and features legislative, political, literary, and academic Thought Leaders from Australia and around the globe. At the invitation of Peter van der Voorde, the producer and presenter of DADS ON THE AIR, Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh; Warwick Marsh, Dr. Elizabeth Celi; Jason Thompson; Frank Crump, an international businessman and Founder of Unified Progress International Education (http://www.upieducation.org) which designed and implements an innovative alternative educational vehicle--a Life Skills Solutions Curriculum™; Uma Challa; and D.A. Sears appeared as guests on the hour-long radio program (the interviews have been uploaded to http://www.dadsontheair.net/storage/shows/Dads_on_the_Air_2009-11-17.mp3). From 10:30 AM through 12:00 PM (Sydney, Australia Time) on Tuesday, 17 November 2009, the DADS ON THE AIR audience were treated to a lively discussion about, among other things, why a worldwide observance such as International Men's Day is needed, why men are important, and the unique health and parenting issues that confront Men from all Walks of Life throughout our global village.
2009 International Men's Day took on a life of its own. Its theme "Positive Male Role Models" resonated with individuals and organizations in nations around the globe. How was 2009 International Men's Day celebrated? Well, let's take a look at how 2009 International Men's Day was observed in Australia, Canada, Ghana, Ireland, Italy, and the United States:

The American print media along with blogs, websites and online social networks such as FACEBOOK and TWITTER and professional online networks such as LinkedIn created a great level of awareness for and interest in 2009 International Men's Day in the United States.
Former Los Angeles, California Police Chief Bernard Parks who currently serves on Los Angeles' City Council and represents its 8th District, published information about 2009 International Men's Day on his website at http://www.bernardparks.com which was viewed by his constituents.
In a press statement distributed by PR News Wire on 19 November 2009 that recognized International Men's Day, nationally acclaimed Fathers' Rights attorney and President Emeritus of the Fatherhood Educational Institute, Jeffery Leving, Esquire who was a participant in the first White House Roundtable On Responsible Fatherhood And Healthy Families on 6 August 2009 in Chicago, Illinois remarked:
"I have a difficult time finding words strong enough to emphasize the importance of fathers in their children's lives."
In Philadelphia, the United States' fifth largest metropolitan area and fourth largest media market, The Philadelphia Tribune, a major newspaper, published an article about 2009 International Men's Day which solicited comments from men in that city about the worldwide observance of International Men's Day.
The Fourteen Percenter, an international online Fathers' Rights publication which is published by Don Mathis, a prominent Fathers' Rights Advocate, in Sherman, Texas, featured information about 2009 International Men's Day.
The Mens Daily News, a Fatherhood and Men's issues online publication and New Generation Dad, an online Fatherhood magazine, provided their readership with information about the worldwide observance of 2009 International Men's Day.
The worldwide observance of 2009 International Men's Day is energizing the Global Dialogue on Fatherhood and Men's Issues. It is not only moving Men from all Walks of Life throughout our global village to work together to strengthen and empower our families and our communities, it is also moving Women to work with Men to create key "pieces of the puzzle" to developing and sustaining efficiently functioning family units that positively shape the minds and souls of our children – our future – our bridge to the future.
What are some of the members of the Global Team for 2009 International Men's Day saying about 2009 International Men's Day?
Warwick Marsh, IMD Global Coordinator pointed to the bridge of friendship and understanding that 2009 International Men's Day is helping to build:
"While the worldwide observance of 2009 International Men's Day has provided us with an opportunity to honor the sacrifices that Men have made and to celebrate their valuable contributions to our families, communities, and our society, it is also helping to build a bridge of friendship and understanding that transcends the boundaries of geography, religion, politics, culture, language, class, economics, gender, and ethnicity . . . "
Jason Thompson, Historian for IMD and IMD Global Promotions Coordinator noted the significant increase in interest that 2009 International Men's Day enjoyed:
"International Men's Day enjoyed significantly increased interest around the globe this year with a more than doubling of countries hosting events than in 2008. Australia, for instance, jumped from holding a single event in 2008 to this year hosting over 15 formal observations across the country, including the sponsoring of events by four local governments, a speech to honor men in the West Australian State Parliament, and an observation at Parliament House in Canberra with several notable speakers. Similar increases in awareness were reported in other countries, which, in my view, is a truly remarkable trend."
Uma Challa, 2009 International Men's Day Coordinator for India hails the observance of 2009 International Men's Day on Thursday, 19 November 2009 as a remarkable global event and the camaraderie it spawned among Men's and Father's Rights Advocates:
"IMD 2009 was a remarkable international event. As many as 25 international men's rights and father's rights groups celebrated the occasion echoing common sentiments and concerns. While IMD may have been celebrated by a few individual nations in the past, the world witnessed the amazing resonance and camaraderie of men's and fathers' rights advocates for the first time in the history of the men's movement in 2009. The theme 'promoting positive male role models' has definitely made men and women around the world pause and think about the many contributions and services of men in our lives, about the vulnerability of men and the need to love, care, and support them every day. This is a great sign and I can only see the men's rights movement gaining more and more momentum in the coming years."
And Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh, Founder of IMD and Chairman of the IMD Coordination Committee offered thought-provoking observations about 2009 International Men's Day:
"International Men's Day – IMD -- has the potential to become the global medium to heal our world. The concept and themes of IMD are designed to give hope to the depressed, faith to the lonely, comfort to the broken-hearted, transcend barriers, eliminate stereotypes and create a more caring humanity. Since its inception, IMD has blossomed into a movement which promotes goodwill and positively transformed the lives of many persons. Every year I am overjoyed to witness and read testimonies of persons who genuinely believe that the observance of IMD has resulted in greater stability in their lives and guided them from darkness into light."

First off today…
Happy Birthday to my hero, my Mom!
It's my goal in life to keep a smile on that face! I love that woman so much!
I don't have very much else to say today because I'm playing catch up. Mostly because I'm busy but also because I'm nursing an injury. Yep, A second one.
The next picture is not a pretty picture of my mother.
No it is not.
You may want to look away now!
Like a fool I decided to go for a second bike ride last night and I followed MacGyver along a trail in which he decided to cut down a narrow sidewalk. About two seconds after I asked him NOT to go that way because I didn't feel confident enough to make it.
Yeah. And so I crashed. Again. What is my problem? Why am I such a klutz? I just cannot get it? UGH? It's not like I just started riding. I've been riding my old bike for a long time. I was going to go again this morning because they say the third times a charm but for me the third time would probably be a trip to the ER.
The bike is parked today.
WTF, it's Wednesday and I'm doing yoga today because I really would like to have a leg tomorrow.

Here's our new cover, which will be on newsstands February 1. This is our annual 'Art Houses' issue; the cover image was taken by photographer Jeremy Toth in an Auckland penthouse with an extraordinary art collection (the penthouse was designed by Cheshire Architects).
The skull artworks are by Andy Warhol, while the koru work in the background is by Gordon Walters. The sculpture on the hearth is by Francis Upritchard, and the carvings in the background are 19th-century ancestral protection figures from Belu, Timor.
Also in this issue: we visit artist Judy Millar's windswept home and studio (designed by Richard Priest) on a dramatic clifftop west of Auckland, Sarah Maxey's 1980s Wellington cottage by Roger Walker, a vineyard home in Hawkes Bay by Hillery Priest Architects, and some beautiful marae on the Mahia Peninsula, among many other things. We'll post outtakes from some of these shoots over the coming weeks.
Sarah Maxey's house will be featured on TV3's Sunrise tomorrow morning at about 8.40pm. We'll also post the link to that footage once it's available online.

The Apple Watch, a wearable computer/phone for your wrist, will hit the market in late April and one of the first apps available will be one that allows you to check your blood sugar. You don't need to always stick your finger to get a drop of blood, you can wear the watch and it will tell you with a continuous glucose monitoring app.
The blood glucose monitoring app will collect information on your blood glucose levels through a tiny sensor that is inserted under the skin on your abdomen. It will measure blood sugar every 5 minutes. The sensor is inserted with a needle and it sends the readings to a receiver which then sends it to an iPhone app and the Apple Watch so that it can be displayed.
But the technology won't completely eliminate the need for the finger stick. People who use the app, sensor, and monitoring system will still need to check their blood sugar with a drop of blood when they calibrate the system.
Regularly monitoring blood sugar levels is vital for diabetics who use insulin. Getting the right insulin dosage can be tricky because the need for insulin, the hormone that allows the body to get energy from food, varies during the day. Currently, most diabetics test their blood glucose levels several times a day by pricking their finger and using a handheld monitor that reads the glucose levels in the drop of blood. Many diabetes dread the finger sticks.
Having an almost continuous way of monitoring blood glucose levels would allow diabetics to fine tune their insulin doses. Having a way to do this without having to stick your finger several times a day makes it an even better idea. The technology can also be used to send the glucose readings to other people, such as a doctor or from a child to a parent's phone.
The sensor and receiver for use with the Apple Watch, made by Dexcom, are already approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

These pretty glosses have been bestsellers for years, and it's easy to see why: the sheer pink-toned hues are universally flattering and the pen-style applicator makes them easy to apply. (We should know—we have put them on in the back of many a cab.) Plus, the built-in vitamin A, C, and E keep lips from drying out.
I really LOVE stila lip glosses! Just add perfect amount of shine. Especially like to use over lipstick. No sticky texture and no yucky taste. Like that you have to click product up into brush- gives some control of how much you apply. Also like that it has a brush end instead of the usual lip gloss wand pad.5
I've been a long time fan of stila's lip glazes and bought way too many of them to count. What I love most is how almost every single color 'works' on me, and how you can layer them to get more intense color. They actually stay put pretty well and aren't as gooey as a lot of other products. My only complaint is sometimes I've had issues with the applicator 'twister' breaking or getting stuck, and then there's no way to get the product out. but that's been a very rare problem given how many of these I've had over the years!5
I have never used the Stila Lip glaze before but I got it just now as a gift for all the products I bought and couldn't get any extra products from the bonus shop since I got to put in my 20% off code for ALL the other products I purchased that I used to save a great deal of money on the products I was getting at least 20% off on my $f250 shopping spree of lovely gifts for my women friends and my Vet for Christmas Gifts. I was really surprised and thrilled when I dug through my products and all of a sudden saw the Stila Lip Glaze in a beautiful shade of fuchsia my favorite color that looks great on me. I also got a large sample size of the Vasanti Brighten Up, Facial Rejuvenator, so I will definitely use it as well to see if it makes my skin brighten up! It's too bad I can't get back to you and respond to how the product does. II of find the Vasanti products do well on my skin but if it doesn't work I didn't pay for it so ..."nothing ventured, nothing gained." I do promise that the Stila Lip Glaze is awesome and would look good on any woman who wears a nice bright color like fuchsia, so don't miss out on it. I love the sample size so if you can find it get it rather than the larger size, the full size is nice but the sample is a lovely size for small purses or pockets instead of the larger full size. What ever size you purchase you'll be happy with and I promise you on that but them you can't come after me if you're not pleased.:>)5
After reading reviews about how sticky this gloss is I was skeptical (I especially hate sticky lip gloss) but decided to give it a try anyways. I don't often wear lip gloss but I don't find it to be sticky at all. The color is light and the shine is subtle enough to wear it during the day while it lasts long enough for a night out.4

Gizmachi has a situation. We need your help finishing our new album. Writing for the follow-up to 2005's "The Imbuing" began in 2007, but due to unforeseen circumstances (bills, day jobs, Jimmie's wrist problems, life) we had to put the band on the back burner. We were still writing as a band, but weren't able to tour and melt faces. Fast forward to early 2010. "Time to put the Gizmachi Train back on the tracks!" We had 11 songs ready to go, so we decided to enter the studio and finish what we started. Only one problem… WE CAN'T AFFORD TO FINISH IT!!!

Rewards include : Digital download of new album one week before release, Signed posters, Shirts, Personal thank you inside CD liner notes, Used drum heads/guitar strings, sweaty gym socks, and MUCH MORE.
Hey. Recording 2012's "ALBUM OF THE YEAR" ain't cheap!

Our dear buddy Bud ponders about advertising and the new world order. The following are his words.
Advertisement, just as rhetoric, is designed to target our aspirations as well as persuade and move us. But more so than that, in the heydays of Madison Avenue, it also filled a purpose. It's role, at least from a male perspective, was to uphold values of strength, gallantry and chivalry. To manufacture weaklings into men as the iconic Charles Atlas would have put it. Nowadays no such overarching purpose seem to exist and as such we have transformed our nation's males into a specie that would rather flaunt their physical prowess for the sake of beauty than for the sake of domination. Not convinced? Just take a look at these two advertisement. They're only fifty years apart but from the looks of them one might just as well summarize that they must originate from different planets.
If you really feel the need to do a show of hands as to determine which of the two best targets male aspirations my guess is that you are in need either of spectacles or a testosterone replacement therapy. But if this really is the case, and good advertisement are being beaten to an inch of it's life by bad advertisement, how can we explain this shift in perspective? The best explanation I can come up with is that it all comes down to Madison Avenue´s need to replace the heterosexual man as their main focus-group of customers. A business decisions that from a monetary perspective naturally makes total sense. So to try and summarize this sad state of affairs, cui bono? Well apart from Madison Avenue and the well off citydwelling meterosexual I must confess I find myself hard-pressed to spot a winner, one thing however is sure and that is as usual, the short end of the stick once again seems to fall on the weaker sex. It is they that must bear the brunt of this one as their natural inclination, dawned upon them by natural selection, pushes them to towards virile strength and might, not homoeroticism and shaven chests. Perhaps Matthew actually was on to something when he prophesied that the meek one day would inherit the earth.
Note: here are a couple of ulbator ads. For comparison purposes.
