George Emerson had to make a decision, and he had to make it fast. The 19 year-old farmer from Boise, Idaho was running for his life through a muddy field, bullets whizzing past his head, an angry mob on his heels. He dove behind a small berm for protection, and peered over. There were approximately 40 civilians running towards him, armed with guns, shovels, rakes and other instruments that could be used as weapons. Scared, outnumbered, unarmed and alone, he figured that his only chance of survival was to raise his arms above his head and surrender. They could very well shoot him on the spot, or hang him from the nearest tree. However, to keep running away meant almost certain death from a bullet in the back. He calmed himself the best he could, and prepared for the inevitable fate that awaited him.
On February 9, 1945 George and his crew had left their base in Molesworth, England for a bomb run against one of the most important targets remaining in war-torn Germany – the synthetic oil factory near Lutzkendorf. For the critical mission the 8th Air Force had selected the 303rd Bomb Group, also known as the "Hell's Angels." Thirty-six B-17 fortresses took off that cloudy Friday morning, along with a large contingent of P-51 Mustang escorts.
George and his eight crewmates reached their target, and prepared to drop their bombs from over 25,000 feet. Although there were no Luftwaffe aircraft in the skies over the target, flak fire from the ground was heavy and relentless. In the back of the plane, aft of the tailwheel and through a narrow crawlspace, George manned twin rear-facing .50 caliber machine guns. In the seconds just before the bombs were released the fortress shook violently, followed by the sound of twisting metal. Then, it all went black.
Nearly 50 years later, in 1993, George met the Navigator of the fortress Pogue Ma Hone, which had also been on the mission to Lutzkendorf that day. It was the first time he heard, in detail, what had happened. "A burst of flak hit the right wing of Pogue Ma Hone, the fortress that was flying directly above us in close formation, taking out one of their engines" George recalls, "as a result their plane lost altitude and descended down onto our B-17. Their rotating prop sheared off our tail and I went spinning away from the rest of the aircraft." The collision also severed George's supply of oxygen, which caused him to lose consciousness. His next memory was opening his eyes as he slowly drifted towards the ground, his parachute open. "I don't recall exiting the tail or opening my parachute. Somebody was definitely looking out for me that day."
Ironically, George did not normally wear his parachute. Like so many other American airmen, he found that wearing the bulky and cumbersome parachute made performing his duties difficult. "You wore your parachute in front, fastened to a harness on your chest. It was so big that it was hard to man my guns with it sticking out in front of me. That day, I happened to clip on my parachute, but not to my chest but rather up near my shoulder. Had I just kept it close to my station and not attached to my body it would have been lost in the collision."
The rest of the men on George's B-17 were not so lucky. The collision had resulted in the loss of both the vertical and horizontal stabilizers, causing the fortress to enter a nose-down, nearly vertical dive straight into the ground, taking the lives of the eight crewmembers still onboard; George was the only survivor from his aircraft. The Pogue Ma Hone went down as well, though 4 crewmen managed to survive and became fellow POWs.
The armed civilians held their fire as George stood up from behind the berm and walked slowly towards them, his hands held high in the air. They began shouting at him; however most of their words were in German, which George did not understand. He did understand the words "Chicago Gangster." As it turns out, the Nazi war machine had released propaganda stating that American bomber crews were hardened criminal gangsters from Chicago. The Germans kept their weapons trained on him as they repeated this phrase and gestured for him to remove his fleece-lined flying suit and boots, leaving him in only the bare necessities for the trek to the nearest detention facility.
George was marched to the town of Eisenberg, where he was thrown into a police holding cell. As night began to fall he could hear loud footsteps outside his cell. The door began to shake as attempts were made to pry it open from the outside. As there was no window on the door and George did not understand German, he began to fear that a mob had come to get him and extract revenge by killing him, as had been done to other Allied airmen captured by the Germans. Eventually somebody came and chased the people away, and the door ceased shaking. A short time later the group returned, tried to force his door open, and once again they were chased away.
It was within a few minutes that George heard clamoring from outside a window at the top of his cell. A small loaf of bread appeared, which was lowered from a rope. Despite his best efforts, George could not reach the food his body was craving. He came to the realization that the people trying to pry open his cell door were not there to hurt him, but to try and help him.
The next day George was taken to Oberursel for interrogation. He remained there for approximately nine days, undergoing intense questioning every day. While only providing name, rank and serial number, George was offered extra rations of food if he gave more information. He refused, and was eventually put on a train and transferred to a Dulag Luft camp near Wetzlar (Dulag Luft camps were temporary POW camps captured Allied airmen were sent to before being assigned to permanent Stalag Luft camps). During his interrogation at Wetzlar George was caught staring at a picture of Adolph Hitler hanging on the wall. The interrogation officer asked him his opinion of the German leader. "I was smart enough not to answer that question!" George recalls with a laugh. From Wetzlar George and other POWs could hear distant Allied artillery barrages, boosting their hopes that liberation would come soon.
After several weeks George and other Allied POWs were loaded into train boxcars, 75 men per car, and transferred to Stalag Luft XIII-D near Nuremburg, where on April 1 George marked his 20th birthday from behind barbed wire and guard towers. "At the camp in Nuremburg we received Red Cross parcels, which contained items such as chocolate bars, powdered milk and cans of spam. Each parcel had to be shared by two men, so we were careful to ration, to make things last because we never knew when or if another parcel would arrive." These parcels not only helped the POWs stay nourished, but also provided valuable in bribing German guards for other items.
Some POWs managed to sneak in a radio they had acquired during an outside work detail. "I think they got it during a farm work detail, though I don't know how. They kept it well hidden so the Germans never found it, but with it we were able to find out how things were going in the war" George remembers. The news from the BBC was that Germany was on the edge of defeat, news that was gleefully passed around the camp prisoners, providing confidence that the end of the war was indeed very near.
Beginning on April 4th the prisoners of the camp were marched some 120 miles away to Stalag Luft VII-A near Moosburg. The marches had actually started several months prior, in January of 1945. POWs from Stalag camps all over Germany and German-occupied territories were forced to march hundreds of miles during a brutal, relentless European winter to keep them from being liberated by rapidly advancing Allied forces. Thousands of lives were lost from disease, exhaustion, hunger and hypothermia "We marched during the day, and took refuge in churches or barns at night. We were packed in tightly, one man right against another."
After nine days at Moosburg the POWs could once again hear distant artillery barrages that seemed to come closer with every passing hour. On April 29, 1945 elements of General George Patton's 3rd US Army entered the camp, liberating over 100,000 Allied POWs. Several weeks later George and other liberated POWs were flown to an Allied processing center known as "Camp Lucky Strike" in Le Havre, France. A few months later George arrived back home in Boise, Idaho, only 20 years old and a survivor of the bloodiest conflict in human history.
About three years ago, George was contacted by a man from Holland who said he had a picture he wanted him to see. Much to George's surprise, he received the booking photo the Germans had taken of him when he was being processed at Oberursel; a large gash visible above his nose. It was the first time he had ever seen the picture, nearly 70 years after it was taken.
Today George generously donates his time to Lyon Air Museum, where he helps educate school children and other museum guests on the service and sacrifices which won the war for the Allies. He is always eager to show guests the POW photo taken by the Germans of a young man from a farm in Idaho, who selflessly answered the call of his country for freedom and liberty, and who continues to pay everlasting tribute to those fellow brave souls who never made it home.

Oscar 'Cold' Cuts
For best song, it's hold the 'toons
"Hillbillies Trounce Bears" could've been the headline for this year's best-song Oscar contenders. For the first time in seven years, no animated-kid-pic theme got a nod (sorry, Brother Collins). Disney's loss was Miramax's gain, as both of Cold Mountain's original Alison Krauss-crooned tunes — the Sting-penned "You Will Be My Ain True Love" and the Elvis Costello/T Bone Burnett collaboration, "The Scarlet Tide" — made the cut… even after the studio chose the Sting number as their ad campaign's ain true priority. The double nod marks the first time two songs from the same movie performed by the same nonacting singer have been up for the award. "I was completely astounded," says first-time nominee Costello, whose "Tide" plays over the end credits. "I assumed all the attention had gone to the [Sting song], which is beautiful and, heaven knows, more featured in the body of the film." That's no accident, says previous two-time nominee Sting. "I approached [director] Anthony Minghella and said, 'I'd love to write a song…but I want to propel the story in some way, and I don't want it to be at the end of the film.' Because," he laughs, "I get tired of singing while people are putting their coats on."

I am sure you all have seen the bet9ja ads for the handicappers that claim to have inside team information and "The 5 Star Lock of the Year." You can find multiple ads for these services in the sports page of any newspaper as well as on the internet.
The Cowboys have a record of 1-3 both straight up and with the pro football betting lines. Dallas is arriving from a 34-27 home loss to the Tennessee titans. Dallas collapsed with a dozen penalties like an excessive celebration call following a touchdown that established a long kickoff return by the Tennessee Titans that headed to a touchdown.
Houston's high powered offense will give the New York Giants defense all they can handle. Matt Schaub and his receiving corps should have an easy time of it versus New York. Look for this game to have an abundance of scoring with New York having to score in garbage time. Give the over a look once it is posted on this game. Take Houston -3 to beat New York.
With this moneyline, Mosley is the favourite at -150 and Hatton is the underdog expected to lose the fight. Remember – moneylines always list the person expected to win with a minus. Now, -150 means that if you are betting on Mosley to win, you have to risk 150 to win 100. The way this is calculated is that for each 1.50 you wage, you win 1. If you bet on Hatton to win, you have to wager 100 which will win you 120 if he wins the match.
College football picks explained in the context of the office pool, or any pool for that matter, make it easier to understand. In a pool, money is collected from a number of individuals and held centrally. The money is then paid out to the winner, and sometimes paid to second, third, etc. places in the competition as well. In a pool, the participants would compete by picking college football games every week. In many pools, the games are picked using the point spread (see above). This makes the selections more challenging and thus the money harder to win.
The last thing you need to make sure of is that the program uses a statistical approach to sports betting. This is what you need to be successful and any program that does not use statistics is bogus.
As the pitcher is one of the most important positions, the line or odds are based largely by the starting pitchers listed. Taking this into account you have four options when betting baseball.
So if you want to bet on sports, you should also be smart in placing your bets. This is so since people who usually bet on sports have attained a degree of familiarity with regard to the intricacies of sports betting.

Fun but mostly annoying
The translation is awful, it sometimes heats up your phone, uploading videos never works for me, and I can't like posts for some reason and I know I'm not blocked by them, they rarely update this app to fix these bugs, I don't think they even respond to helping people with these problems, it's just automated messages that don't help at all.
The only nice part are the posts people make and making friends with people that are hopefully not a scam.
Amazing app
I downloaded was not sure but after a bit of going thru I like it, I live in a small town at the moment I don't travel. So this app lets me enjoy the scenery and other lifestyles of the world
Translations are bad
I think the site itself is very good, but when I'm trying to have a conversation with someone the translations are horrible so we end up not going anywhere with the conversation. I ended up having to go onto my laptop and translate the language from another site to understand what the person is saying
Developer Response ,
Dear user, thank you for your feedback. Thank you very much for using Airtripp. It is very unfortunate that it wasn't a good and funny experience for you, and we're very sorry. We're working every day in order to improve our app for our users. Hope you can keep enjoying Airtripp. Best regards.

VA Hospital In Lakewood Targeted for Construction Money
The White House wants to double spending on construction projects for the Department of Veterans Affairs next year while steering some of that new money to a major expansion of the VA hospital in Lakewood.
The proposed VA budget for 2016 includes $1.1 billion for major construction projects at veterans hospitals around the country, up from $562 million this year. Its intended to help the beleaguered agency catch up to increasing demand for its services from veterans of the recent wars and from older generations of veterans accessing expanded benefits.
The VAs American Lake campus, a fast-growing site within the VA Puget Sound network, would get $11 million for a project that would include the construction of a new outpatient clinic and a seismic renovation of its main primary care building.
Lawmakers said the funding request is a step forward for a $161.7 million project that would add some 70,000 square feet of space for primary care and specialty services. The VA would hire at least another 54 full-time employees to staff the additional space, according to budget documents.
The South Sound is not in good health until our veterans needs are met, and these improvements are a big part of that mission, said U.S. Rep. Denny Heck, D-Olympia, whose district includes the Lakewood hospital.
Meanwhile, two other large construction projects are underway at VA Puget Sounds Seattle campus. One is a $220 million mental health facility and the other is a $44 million parking garage.
The money follows several years of accelerating growth at VA Puget Sound. The network cared for 97,000 patients last year. It anticipates enrolling about 110,000 patients by 2018.
The VA first earmarked money for the American Lake expansion in 2009 when it set aside $5 million to design the new facilities. Budget documents do not indicate when the project is scheduled to break ground or when its expected to be finished.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said she was encouraged that the American Lake projected appeared to advance in the budget request. Im going to be fighting for those resources as the budget process moves forward, and I am hopeful that the Republican majority will work with me to get this done, she said.
The Obama administrations proposed budget for 2016 would allocate a total of $168.8 billion for the VA, up from $97.7 billion in 2009.
The House Veterans Affairs Committee is scheduled to discuss the budget request at a hearing next week. Rep. Jeff Miller, the committees Republican chairman from Florida, has been skeptical about VA funding requests, indicating VA leaders could face tough questioning.
If theres one thing weve learned over the last year, its that VA numbers cant be trusted, he said in a written statement.
Last week, VA Puget Sound announced it is hiring 124 additional employees over the next two years. Money for those positions will come from an agency overhaul Congress adopted last summer following allegations that some VA hospitals had misrepresented data on long delays that veterans faced receiving medical care.

Nancy Pelosi set a 100-year record Wednesday by standing on the House floor in favor of amnesty for illegal immigrants for almost seven hours — but she wouldn't stand at the State of the Union when President Trump called for unity between American politicians.
Pelosi spoke for over six hours to talk about illegal immigrants protected under DACA, saying that Democrats and Republicans should grant them legal status. This was the longest speech on the House floor since 1909. (RELATED: Pelosi Breaks 100-Year Record For Continuous Speech On House Floor)
She sent a tweet Thursday to again highlight the issue of DACA recipients:
It's time for @SpeakerRyan to step up, stop hiding behind @realDonaldTrump, and commit to having a vote on bipartisan legislation to #ProtectDREAMers.
— Nancy Pelosi (@NancyPelosi) February 8, 2018
However, Pelosi did not show the same enthusiasm to stand during the State of the Union when Trump said this:
"Tonight, I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people. This is really the key. These are the people we were elected to serve."
Trump also gave this inspiring quote during the speech:
"Over the last year, the world has seen what we always knew: That no people on Earth are so fearless, or daring, or determined as Americans. If there is a mountain, we climb it. If there is a frontier, we cross it. If there is a challenge, we tame it. If there is an opportunity, we seize it."
And yet Pelosi didn't stand.

– Oh no, this is bad, help! (footsteps approaching) – Noah?
Where are you? – [Noah] Up here! (air whooshing)
– Noah? – Hi. – How on earth did you get up there? And why are you in a banana suit? – Well, it's a long story. Me and my friend went
to see Captain Marvel and I thought it was so
cool how she could fly. (twinkling music)
Captain Marvel to the rescue! Watch out Superman! Ooh ooh.
Wa-psh-psh! Hmm, I wish I can fly like Captain Marvel. (distant crashing) (gasps softly)
(toys clank) (footsteps clomping) (door creaking)
Wha-za? – My creation! (tablets clattering)
(liquid bubbling) Oh, it's beautiful! (liquid bubbling) – Whoa, what is it? (ominous music) – It's a Fizzy Lifting Drink! – A Fizzy Lifting Drink? – I saw it in a movie once. It makes you able to fly. – Whoa.
(frenetic music) (air whooshing) – Absolutely not! It's a little unstable and
(sniffs) maybe dangerous. So don't even think about drinking it. What're you lookin' at? Get outta here! (door creaks)
(footsteps clattering) – Hm.
Maybe a sip won't be too bad. But I have to get past Eden. (gasping)
(triumphant music) I need a disguise. (whimsical piano music) This doesn't feel right. Perfect, she'll never suspect a banana! (light suspenseful music) (liquid bubbling) – Hey!
I never suspect bananas. Carry on.
(light suspenseful music) (liquid bubbling)
(Noah chuckles) (light suspenseful music) – Eden did say not to drink it… But what could go wrong? (breathing heavily)
Ah. (belches loudly) (smacks lips)
Fruity. (light suspenseful music) Time to fly. (grunting)
(twinkling music) (air escaping) What? (air whooshing) Ah, come on! Up, up, and away! Away! (lips buzzing) It doesn't even work! (air hissing) What? (whimpers)
This is not good. (liquid bubbling) (twinkling music)
And that's how I ended up on the ceiling in a banana suit. – Fascinating.
But now the question is… How on earth are you going to get down? – I have absolutely no idea. – I have an idea. (ominous music)
– Ah, this is the perfect time to test my new evil Laughing Perfume on those terrible superhero kids. This time, I will defeat them! (laughs maniacally) Yeah, okay, time to go away now.

5 tools to boost your productivity
1. Evernote with Skitch
Evernote is a popular and a powerful note taking app. It has lot of other functionalities than just note taking. This is about one of them. Skitch is a screenshot taking and simple editing tool which works flawlessly with Evernote. Picture speaks a thousand words. Just grab a screenshot, annotate and share. It can be done with just few mouse clicks. Leverage the shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+5 to grab the screenshot instantly when after you install Skitch.
2. Trello
Trello is one of my favorite tools to manage tasks. It's simple intuitive interface lets me keep track on my task and get them out of the list when they are done. I like the fact that they don't try to do too many things . It lets you focus on your list not the bells and whistles that app has to offer. This can be used as a powerful collaboration tool when you want to maintain a queue of tasks and assign those to different people.
3. KeyPass
This is a free open source password management tool. It works without connecting to the internet (as a stand alone) and it is great for security. I was using Laspass for my password management. After they recently announced the breach in their servers I'm bit skeptical about using them anymore. Unlike Lastpass KeyPass will not sync your data with any outside data servers therefore more secure. One thing you need to be sure about is to never forget the master password.
4. Google docs
I have been a fan of Google docs since their start. This is a great tool if you just want to share some data with few people. You can also work on the same document rather than end up having several versions of the same file with duplicated data. Permission control allows you to choose who can edit and contribute to the document or just share it as a non editable document.
5. Pocket
Pocket is a read later tool which can be used to save a web page and come back later to read it. Well designed mobile and browser extensions make it very easy to use. You can even save the page you want it in your desktop browser and later read it in your mobile device clutter free. If you are not fond of browser bookmarks like me this is the the tool you should try.
Bonus – Learn keyboard short cuts
This is not a tool but will definitely pay off in the long run. Avoid tiresome mouse clicking and dragging. Learn keyboard shortcuts to speed things up.
What do you think about these tools? Do you use them already or do you have better alternatives? I would love to hear your thoughts. Please share your thoughts by commenting below. If you need any help on how to get started I will be happy to help.

Copenhagen Climate CircusJerry West Salem-News.com
COP 15 isn't your average dog & pony show, but you do deserve some popcorn.
(GOLD RIVER, B.C.) - As I write, much of the world's attention is on Copenhagen where the 15th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 15) is taking place.
Prime Minister Harper is there, as is BC Premier Campbell, and President Obama is due to make an appearance. Many functionaries in the environmental movement along with assorted diplomats and politicians are all in attendance.
So are thousands of protesters.
The aim of the conference is allegedly to deal with global climate change; the aim of the protesters is to demand that this be done effectively. In the bigger scheme of things, they are all wasting their time.
The real purpose of these conferences and other government initiatives on climate change is not to really deal with the climate, but to deal with those who are concerned about it, and make them think that something is being done.
The protestors who think that climate change is the major issue and have hopes that they can influence governments to fix the problem are wasting their time, playing a game that is rigged against them. Those who think that the politicians are acting in good faith and will actually take the measures necessary to clean up the mess we are in, are truly naive, and are being used to give credence to a scam.
The first thing that has to be recognized and acknowledged if we are to clean up the climate problem, and there is a problem despite all of the fairy tales the denial industry may spin, is that climate change is merely a symptom of a much bigger and more serious problem.
A problem that strikes right at the heart of the structure of modern society. The real problem is that human society, as we know it, has grossly over reached its ability to sustain itself on the planet. No amount of green house gas reduction will fix that. If we do not address this problem, anything we do regarding climate change will be a waste of time and effort.
Our planet is for all practical purposes a closed system with finite resources. To be sustainable, the renewable resources that we require can not be exploited beyond their ability to reproduce themselves in a steady state.
At present, while humans are increasing their number, their overconsumption of renewable resources is destroying the future availability of those resources. There are fewer resources per person every day. For one example, count the number of salmon now compared to fifty years ago. Far fewer salmon and over three times as many people. In almost every area of nature, the same dynamic is at work.
The only solution to our problem that will work, unless we want to face an environmental catastrophe for our society, is to reduce human consumption of resources, all resources, everything.
Significant reductions will start the repair of our terribly overburdened ecosystem, and that repair will include alleviating the conditions that are causing the climate to change. That this is going to happen before nature smacks us down is doubtful.
Fixing the problem means changing the entire way that we organize our economy and how we view wealth. It is our economic system that has developed over thousands of years that is based on the idea of growth that is killing us.
Growth is the cancer that has taken us past the sustainable limits of the system, and to date there is no prominent politician or political party that is willing to challenge the idea that growth will provide a solution.
Listen to the speeches of Premier Campbell, Prime Minister Harper, President Obama, or in BC the Leader of the Opposition, Carole James.
The buzzwords of our demise are there: wealth creation, sustainable growth, green growth, yadda, yadda,yadda.
Addressing our environmental problem with the concepts that these phrases represent is like fighting a fire with gasoline. Until we elect leaders who reject growth, the best we can get will be circuses like COP 15.

Andy McMenemy woke up yesterday morning a happy man after completing his incredible 66 ultra marathons in 66 days across the UK. The son of a former soldier Andy undertook his gargantuan task to raise funds for and awareness of ABF, the Soldiers' Charity. His Challenge 66 began in Leeds on March 15 and saw him cover over 2,000 miles before he crossed the final finish line in York yesterday.
Andy's odyssey took him to each of the UK's 66 cities and included Plymouth in the west country, Inverness in the north of Scotland and Belfast in Northern Ireland. It saw him run 50k each day - no rest days - and then head for the next location. Andy's reward is a place in the Guinness Book of records for consecutive ultra marathons and nearly £70,000 raised for ABF, the Soldiers' Charity.
You can support Andy's tremendous effort at the Challenge 66 website. The Challenge66 Team is hosting a Celebration Gala Dinner at the Centenary Pavilion at Elland Road, Leeds on Friday, June 10, 2011. Details at the Challenge 66 website.

Are you imagining of purchasing a new digital digital camera? Are you confused by all the alternatives in camera resolution? Is the megapixel score the most essential issue you ought to think about in buying a digital camera? How quite a few megapixels are plenty of? Is there such a thing as also many megapixels? How do megapixels and digital digital camera resolution compare to film digicam resolution?
To place it merely, resolution is the sum of depth that your digital camera data of an graphic. A electronic picture is produced up of pixels. For electronic cameras, the quantity of pixels is calculated just like your computer observe. As digital digicam resolutions have gotten better, w will e now multiply the horizontal and vertical values for just one full benefit, which is commonly rounded out to the megapixel rely. Some of the very first digital cameras experienced resolution of 480 x 640 pixels. This is the identical quantity of pixels in the laptop observe normal VGA. Multiplying 480 x 640 would conclusion up with a resolution of about.3 megapixels. This was touted by the digital digicam marketplace as photograph-top quality, but it is considerably from it. Most website cams guidance this resolution.
Next up in pc check resolution is SVGA or 600 x 800. This is effective out to about.5 megapixels. Still not there.
Currently, one particular of the most well-known computer system observe settings is 1024×768. This is nevertheless less than a single megapixel, it is also the resolution that we to start with saw consumer digital cameras at. This is also a prevalent resolution for video clip projectors. The one megapixel digital cameras have a resolution of 1280 by 960. If you have been to make a 4 x 6 print from an impression this size, it could possibly evaluate in high-quality to that of an old 110 digicam, or APS camera.
When we get to the two megapixel mark, or resolution of 1600 x 1200, you can get a fairly nice print. This provides you a print size of 4 x 6 at not quite 300 dpi. Having said that, when you make a photographic print much greater than 4 x 6, you will be able to see the particular person pixels or detect the deficiency of depth.
In a digital photographic print, 300 dots for every inch is regarded the regular for smaller prints. Some photographic printers print at less than 250 dpi. Some a minor bit far more than 300 dpi. Even though there is tiny little bit of leeway below, digital prints at 300 dpi will look to have the similar depth that a print produced from a 35mm damaging would if it have been printed traditionally. This is specifically important for lesser print measurements that will be viewed close-up. As we go to bigger print measurements, the distance the print will be seen from is also likely to improve. From a farther distance the eye cannot see the depth, and so the print still appears to be like good.
A 3 megapixel digicam will have a resolution of about 2048 x 1536. It is nevertheless significantly beneath that of good 35mm negative. It is not till we reach a little bit about five megapixels that electronic starts off to compare to 35mm in depth. A 5.3 megapixel digital camera has a resolution of about 3008 x 1960.
A excellent 6 megapixel digital camera can surpass 35mm excellent in depth. This works out to just about 300 dpi in an 8 x 10 print. Due to the fact 35mm has been acknowledged stage of high-quality for so extensive, this is the resolution I suggest men and women start off wanting at for a digital digital camera. The 6 megapixel digicam will offer the identical level of high quality (possibly a minor little bit far better) that your outdated 35mm digicam gave you. A 6.3 megapixel camera has a resolution of about 3088 x 2056.
What about seven and 8 megapixel cameras? An eight megapixel digital camera techniques the quality of the specialist medium format camera. It is attention-grabbing to stage out that a lot of of the 7 megapixel cameras came out soon after the 8 megapixel cameras have been introduced. It has been prompt, the purpose for this is since the very first technology of eight megapixel point-and-shoot cameras had a problem with sounds. This was caused the modest sensors made use of in digital place-and-shoot cameras. This difficulty is mostly overcome now, and did not apply to the larger sized electronic solitary lens reflexes. When an eight megapixel digicam will deliver a very little bit more info in case you want to crop up in a, since several people ever make a print bigger than 8 x 10, a great deal of this excess information is wasted. I do not advocate that the ordinary person invest in a digital digicam resolution increased than 8 megapixels.
Electronic cameras with resolutions of 10 to 13 megapixels are very well in the high-quality selection of great 120mm expert cameras. They develop substantial file measurements that involve important computer system resources to perform with. A 13 megapixel digicam will only get close to 55 pictures on a 1 GB memory card in Uncooked structure. This tends to make conserving and archiving photographs a lot more high-priced and time-consuming. There are qualified digital digital camera programs with resolutions of 20,40, and even a hundred megapixels. Only a qualified would have will need of illustrations or photos with this higher a resolution.
To summarize, I suggest that almost any individual will be content with a camera with a 6 megapixel resolution. If you happen to be genuinely on a price range you can go down as low as 5 megapixels and continue to have in-depth pictures at the sizes you're most possible to have prints built. If you are an state-of-the-art shooter or hobbyist you may love the excess area that an eight megapixel digital camera will give you. If you might be a expert, you need to have a digital camera resolution proper to the career at hand.

Oct 15th, 1952
Hi! Dad & May,
Just a few lines to leave you know I'm fine hoping this letter will find you all the same. I received the letter you all wrote Sept 30th. and was sure glad to hear from you again.
Well are you done extracting honey? Did you get a good crop of honey this year? I guess one of these days, those old walnut trees will fall down all together. They been standing there for a good may years now. It sure would seem funny with them out of the yard. Just like the old weeping willow tree when it fall down and was taken away.
From what I been hearing they sure are building a lot of houses up through the valley. I won't recognize old Mahoning valley by the time I get back home. Glad to hear Edda is back home from the hospital and getting better.
Yes this is a hell hole of a country over here. I'll sure be glad when my time is up and I get back to the States again. I only have about 13 to 16 months more to do in the Marines, so maybe by the time I get back to the States it won't be long before I get discharged that is if they don't extend me for another year in the Marine Corp. I sure hope that doesn't happen because when my time is up over here, I'll have enough of this Marine Corp to last me for a long time.
As for all the beer we had, its all gone, it didn't last but a couple days.
The weather over here is getting pretty cold nights now. I thought I froze the week or so. The days still get pretty warm. Now that we are back here in the reserve, and will be for the next 30 or 40 days unless something breaks out that they may need some support up on the line. Then we might go up sooner.
By the way while we are back here in reserve we will be getting our winter clothing, in fact today they are suppose to give it to us. I sure will be glad. I can use them especially those thermal boots. My damn feet get cold mighty quick. We had a few frosts already not too bad tho.
The only thing I don't like about being back here in the rear is, they have us going on night problems, and training, rifle inspection, and all such bull-shit, but I guess its better than being up on line risking your life.
Well I'm running out of things to write about so I'll close for now. Answer real soon
Love Marvin

Meditation vs an Empty, Blank Mind: Meditation Class: The Desert Fathers: A Mystic's Journal Entry December 4, 2009
Friday, December 4
We continue our studies of the Desert Fathers in class. The first poem we studied this past week during meditation class was written by the Desert Father Theodoros (The Book of Mystical Chapters; Shambhala; trans. John Anthony McGuckin.).
The poem begins:
The fragrance of expensive perfume,/ even when it is kept in its jar,/ will permeate every room in a house Laurel said: "That's like what is happening here." And so it is. The supernatural fragrances continue. Tonight in class MG and I both had whiffs of a gentle fruitlike scent, a fruit I have never known on earth. Chris mentioned that she still remembered the strong scent of hyacinths from the week before. In his poem, Theodoros compares these fragrances to the hidden holiness of the saints. This inner holiness of the saints emanates from them, as the perfumes mentioned in Theodoros' poem will permeate every room in a house. Someone in class said that they would "like to be around a few saints" and I said, "We are." These supernatural fragrances - even though we cannot see the saints in the room with us, even my clairvoyance will not allow me to see them - tell us that they are there.
One of our meditators now lives in Dallas, Texas. She wrote today: " After I visited ____ in jail last Saturday, I came home, walked through the room where my statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe stands, and a waft of frankincense "said Hello" to me... as if to say, " Thank You for visiting ____." This was the second time this has happened to her, both times after we began reading the Desert Fathers in class again. Even more mysteriously, people have said that after reading my accounts of the supernatural fragrances on the internet, they also caught a few whiffs. And since the fragrances began with the Desert Fathers and reoccur whenever we study them - we can assume the Holy Fathers are in some mysterious way connected to the otherworldly scents.
even when kept in its jar We took this analogy as the jar in Theodoros' poem representing the physical body. This inner holiness that emanates from the saints, does so in a natural and effortless manner, just as the expensive perfume will permeate every room in a house. When we pray or meditate, Light comes into us, and the soul itself Lights us from within; when we are filled with this Light, or Holiness, it then begins to radiate from us, into the world. It is a natural and effortless result of both our small efforts and the wonderful Graces given to us.
MG mentioned that perhaps when the Desert Father wrote his poem, the jars were made of clay, were porous - i.e. not a glass jar with a lid. We agreed that this was most likely the case. In this analogy of a more porous container: not only does this holiness and Light radiate from us effortlessly - but our own physical vehicle is transformed by the holiness, until it too becomes holy and transparent, so that the inner holiness can then easily emanate from us.
The saint can transform lives by merely walking down the street, or into a room - and we should all aspire to this. If we are not as yet as transparent as the saints, or as holy as the saints - then we should continually pray for others, and in this hidden way help to transform those around us.
Laurel then read a short poem written by the Desert Father Evagrios of Pontus. It begins: When you are praying, do not try to envisage/ the Godhead within you in any imagined form.
the Godhead within you Here Evagrios was speaking of meditation or contemplation rather than vocal prayer. In our meditations we are attempting to contact the soul, and the Holy Trinity that is embedded in the soul. A discussion started on his words do not try to envisage/ the Godhead within you in any imagined form - I asked why we should not, and several answers were given. MG said that it seemed that in his poem, the Desert Father Evagrios was speaking of Eckhardt's "God beyond God", the 'Godhead' that was before the manifested Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit - i.e. the Godhead that was pure spirit and without any form or attributes. Since the Godhead is pure spirit and has no form or attributes we should not impose a form or attributes on It. Another reason: we should not try to perceive the Godhead through the ego and its perceptions and imagination; someone else said that to image the Godhead would be an obstacle to seeing It clearly and truly, mystically. I thought these all good answers.
Evagrios ends his poem: Instead, draw close to the Immaterial One immaterially,/ and then you will understand.
In other words, we should see ourselves as the soul, not as the physical body. In our meditations we realize that we are something other than our material form. Laurel said that we assign a form to the Godhead because we think that the Godhead is in form, as we are - whereas we ourselves are not the body. Chris said that the understanding Evagoros speaks of is that the Mind of God, that Light, that Consciousness, that Divinity - in within us.
Do not let your mind be cast in the mold / of any particular figure. This led to a discussion of the dangers of holding or aspiring to a blank mind during our meditations. Saint Teresa of Avila was quite specific about this in her writings. In her convent, one day the other nuns were very excited about one of their fellow religious who had stayed in meditation for many hours without a single thought. Saint Teresa was very unimpressed and thought it more than waste of time. She insisted that we should hold something in our minds, and she suggested the image of Jesus. Her student, Saint John of the Cross disagreed - and even though he was one of our greatest saints, he was in the Dark Night of the soul for forty or so years.
I agree with Saint Teresa: a blank mind is not the Goal, and can even be dangerous. In my experience, if God wants our thoughts to completely disappear, He will do it for us - and He will replace our thoughts with something far better, i.e. with Himself. The protection in the exercise given to us in this poem by Evagrios is in his words: draw close to the Immaterial One immaterially. For here our focus is not on a blank state of mind, but rather in the effort of drawing close to, and our focus on, the Immaterial One, i.e. God.
Chris then rightly said that a blank mind can be dangerous because of the danger of nihilism, and she spoke from her own early experiences, before she came to me to study. The Goal of the spiritual Quest is not nihilism but rather union with the Divine, with God.
I say all this because many people mistakenly think that the goal and method of meditation is to merely rid the mind of all thought - which is not true. There is a specific method to meditation, even though there are many forms of meditation - and we all should have a Teacher.
