Scale Modeling Sponsors
Now entering its 8th year, Jerseyfest is a fantasy and science fiction model and figure show held in the rather pleasant Whippany, NJ [New Jersey, USA] area. Starting as a party for like-minded modelers and painters it grew until in 2012 it was held as a true model show. As someone who has been program chair for more than his fair share of national meetings, I can say that I was hugely surprised that this was only its third year as it was very professionally run and bursting with content. Held over three days at the Marriot Hannover, it started with a full day of paid workshops, followed by two days of free attendee workshops, a fine model show, and a solid vendor room. And some serious partying, but more on that later. . .
There is so much content that I can only discuss the pieces that I was able to attend as there were usually multiple workshops going on at any one time. It's worth checking out their website to get a feel for what else was offered.
The model show was moderate in size but surprisingly high in quality. Much of the figure and bust painting was at a very high level and some of the Star Trek conversions were very well done. The pictures will tell that tale. Definitely bringing some of my stuff next year.
The workshops went from 11 am to 5 pm. Rick Cantu's class on painting techniques for scales and aliens was great, complete with a pleasant siren effect. . . it's nice to see a teacher who can explain why he is doing what he is doing and many of his techniques are really, well, simple. Practice will be needed but he quickly demystified what can be a scary painting process and showed how to use transparent paint to get some life-like effects. I was particularly appreciative of his discussion of how paint won't hurt your kit, so take the leap and, if you don't like it, just dunk it in Castrol Super Clean, strip the paint, and do it again. For those of us with completed figures that we haven't taken the plunge with actually painting the darned things it was good advice.
The day ended with a talk by Phil Tippet. Some of you may have heard of him. Sadly, I had to leave early for family stuff and missed it, along with the partying that night. Pity.

Could New Facebook Groups Have Social Media Marketing Implications?
October 22, 2010 | Susie Aubuchon
Earlier this month at a live press conference, Facebook unveiled some of its newest innovations, including the new Groups feature. Not to be confused with public groups, the new Groups feature is primarily for individuals to segment their list of friends so that they can share unique information within […] Continue reading

One of the ways was to build a mini hoop greenhouse. You can do this too, and here's how:
PVC or PEX piping
Rebar or U clips if you have boards around your garden
Heavy Duty Painters Plastic (3.5ml)
Rocks, bricks or heavy sticks
Time spent: less than an hour
-After prepping and tilling garden (which had been done on an earlier day), measure garden. This is our side garden and it measures 20'x4'.
-Measure out where your rebar will be placed. It can be placed 3-4 feet apart. I used 1 foot rebar for our posts. It's cheaper, I found, to buy a long piece of rebar and have it cut to size, than to buy the sizes that I needed. It saves you about 45% doing it this way.
-Stick rebar in the ground until only a few inches are shown.
-Take your PVC or PEX piping measure and cut with a hacksaw where you need it.
- I found it cheaper to buy it in a 50 ft length and cut it myself, than to buy it cut already. About 1/2 price.
-Be careful when cutting it! We don't want any ER visits from this project!
-Measure all pieces the same size. This is where some help comes in handy. I had some very cute help helping me through this project.
-Take piping and insert into rebar on either side of the garden. It's so easy a child could do it!
-Open your painters' plastic and spread it over your hoop house to see if you need to trim any off. Because of the size of my garden, I didn't need to cut any.
-Pull the plastic tight around the hoops. Draw it from the sides to the front and fold under. Here's where you need the heavy rocks, bricks, sticks or whatever. Use the rocks to hold it in place. I also placed it around the sides to have extra protection from the wind as it can get fairly windy on this Island.
- Place a thermometer inside your hoophouse and monitor the temperature for a couple of days before putting transplants inside. Keep an eye on the temperature. Mine was up to 44 degrees Celsius one day and it was only 15 outside. If you need to cool your hoop house down, just use the clothespins to pin up the opening on either end to let the air go through. Remember to keep a watch on the temperature when the house is open as well.
I would love to see your hoop house! Send a picture to our email: fighting2bfrugal @ yahoo dot ca, or pop on over to our Facebook page and share it there!

DRAMA CLUB: Boarding House No. 24 Episode 6 Recap
Zombie: So this week was full of suspicions and jealousy and a spontaneous group outing that was kinda weird yet it somehow still managed to shed some light on the "who's my kid" mystery and gave some of our boarders the chance to reveal their true feelings. I'd say, all in all, this was a pretty productive episode of Boarding House No. 24.
Watch episode 6:
Sage: Last week I totally thought Hyun Young was his daughter. It seems like every person i guess to be his offspring they manage to prove me wrong on. Now I am going to have to make a completely new guess. Besides that, I totally enjoyed this episode seeing Dong Joon get in the way of Jae Hwan's advancements like that was hilarious. Also, Kwang Kyu's and Bang In's suspicious behavior was a little over the top. Having him dress up as a girl was just plain weird. I realize a lot of kpop guys can get away with doing that but Hyun Tae is not one of them. But, like I said he was very helpful when it came to Kwang Kyu's mission to finding his real offspring.
Aunnie: I'm glad we're making a little headway on figuring out who are potential offspring for our DTB however, watching DTB and Bang In interact this entire episode makes me kind of wish Bang In hadn't been taken out of the running because they are so alike! As much as I like Dong Joon, and I do, I do not approve of this SLS path they've given him. Hopefully it won't last more than a couple episodes before Sa Eun and Dong Joon wise up and realize their destiny's!
Zombie: I don't really get why Bang In had to dress up like a girl in the beginning of this episode… Was there a point to it beside the writers just trying to be funny? I think it was so they could meet in secret and discuss their plans but really? They couldn't just meet at a coffee shop or something normal like that? I guess nothing Kwang Kyu decides to do will ever be normal so I'm just gonna have to deal with the weird and move on. I did like how Sam finally calmed herself a bit this week. I guess someone decided that if she's going to stick around, she's going to have to be a likable character, otherwise we're all going to start chucking our computers out the window, every time she shows up.
Aunnie: Agreed! I liked this side of her personality. She's still overbearing but it's almost endearing now. I loved the scene where Sa Eun is about to threaten Bang In but Sam put an immediate end to it and then Bang In scooted closer to her for protection. Maybe there is hope for them yet!
Sage: She was very calm this week. So calm, that when I first saw her I almost didn't recognize her. I thought, "Who is the new girl?" That is until she grabbed Bang In and dragged him away. Speaking of out of character, Sa Eun was also acting very weird this week. Her jealousy so was so apparent with the way she was dressing and whatnot, but I still felt really bad for her with the sweat stains. Though, I don't really understand why it's that big of a deal. It's natural to sweat. Also, Dong Joon didn't even seem to recognize what she was doing. So, it was all for nothing but her own embarrassment.
Zombie: I don't think Dong Joon had a clue that Sa Eun was trying to impress him. She went about it all the wrong way and came off as weird and stuck-up. If you're going to try to impress a guy, you should at least make sure he's paying attention to you first and I'm sorry to say but dressing up the way Sa Eun did, didn't catch his eye in the least. She should already know what Dong Joon is interested in and she would have been better off just wearing that track suit the entire time and spending her time innocently flirting than trying to dress like an heiress and singing opera.
Aunnie: Agreed. Sa Eun kind of annoyed me this week. She was going waaaaay out of her way to impress someone who could care less about being impressed. That glitter skirt . . .dress . . .thingy was just ridiculous. Why would you wear that to an outing? Why would you even pack it?
Sage: But the butt thing was funny though. It seems like Bang In is always ruining people's moments though. What with the way he was picking on Hyun Young and now Sa Eun. You know who else I felt bad for this episode? Jae Hwan. He was trying so hard (in a different way from Sa Eun, but almost just as bad) to get next to Do Hee and nothing seemed to work. It was hilarious the way they looked at each other in the bathroom while they were peeing, but him wiping his hands on him was disgusting. Even with all of that, I do have to say Dong Joon and Do Hee were adorable together. Them sleeping with their heads together was too cute.
Aunnie: I had a mild heart attack during the bathroom scene between the boys. I'm a germaphobe so the very idea that someone would wipe their pee-tained hands on my shirt is completely deserving for a butt whooping!
Zombie: At least Jae Hwan's failure had more to do with Dong Joon getting in the way and Do Hee being too shy to say anything, than his own foolishness. He did try (repeatedly) to get next to Do Hee on the way to the campground and he did try to spend time with her but Dong Joon keeps messing things up. I know it's because he thinks Jae Hwan is harassing Do Hee but it's still kind of annoying. It's not that I don't like Dong Joon and Do Hee together, because I do, but only as friends.
Aunnie: This is one of those times that I just wish Kdrama characters would remember to use.their.words. rather than waiting for an opportunity to present itself. I kept hoping Jae Hwan would just burst out that he liked Do Hee however, in hindsight, probably know the best course of action considering she's an agoraphobic.
Sage: I was doing the same thing!I can tell you this, I did not expect the love triangle to be between Dong Joon, Do Hee, and Jae Hwan. But I do like Dong Joon and Do Hee as friends, they have so much chemistry it almost seems as though it comes naturally to them. Also, you can tell Dong Joon doesn't dislike Jae Hwan despite him getting in the way and thinking he was harassing Do Hee. It was very nice of him to bring him into the tent after he got drunk like that. Though, I could've done without him smelling Kwang Kyu's dirty underwear and then putting them on him after he thought he peed on himself.
Aunnie: I honestly couldn't figure out what the point was of smelling someone else's underwear--whether they were clean or dirty. Why would you not take the time to find his bag??
Zombie: Yeah, that's just gross! At least Jae Hwan has the good sense to change back into his own clothes before he went after Do Hee. Speaking of which, that was my favorite part of this entire episode… That one brief moment where Jae Hwan and Do Hee finally got to be together and they finally got all of their misunderstandings straightened out and they finally got to demonstrate their feelings to the other. Hooray! I absolutely love that Do Hee had the courage to give Jae Hwan her lucky bracelet and I loved that he gave her his sweater and I loved that they walked off screen, being the most adorable semi-almost-couple in the history of Drama Land. Well, pretty darn close anyway.
Sage: That was adorable. I see that Do Hee has become a lot more outspoken and outgoing than she was in the beginning. I like that. I just couldn't help but feel bad for Dong Joon. I had no idea he liked her that much and like that. The way he looked at them in the end was so sad.
Aunnie: Usually in Kdramas, I get annoyed with the female characters that "don't know" they're liked by multiple people but in this case, it's totally understandable that she doesn't realize that Dong Joon likes her because she hasn't the experience to know what that would be like. In one sense, I like that Dong Joon is her eating-friend and Lord knows she needs protection but I don't like the fact that Dong Joon is a SLS because, well, it wasn't needed as a plot development. Why do writers always feel the need to put an SLS in their story?
Zombie: I'm not too worried about Dong Joon, he has Sa Eun after all. He just doesn't realize it yet.
Sage: I wonder if he is going to be too hung up on Do Hee to even realize Sa Eun's subconscious advances. You know what they really need? Heart rocks. Those seem to mend relationships perfectly.
Aunnie: I think Sa Eun needs to do what she's best at . . .being blunt, and honest and saying "Dong Joon, you're my style" and kissing him silly. I could stand to see them kiss again . . . I mean . . . I wouldn't turn away the screen or anything.

Veridic Technologies Pvt Ltd :- The word Collage itself evokes a feeling of artistry, for valid reason. The word, after all, is defined as using different types of materials and their installation on a surface in order to create a masterpiece tricky. In case of collage frames, it's quite simply a type of picture frame where one can put in one or more picture. There several types of photo collage frames – some are the advanced version of the classic picture frame while others are thematic and look more striking. In almost any case, with a collage photo frame your pictures definitely become more attractive.
Veridic Technologies Pvt Ltd
Probably the most famous of those picture frames is the baby collage frame, which isn't really surprising since most parents love to take photos of their children. A typical metal frame will have some cute bas relief sculptures of baby symbols, whilst the resin or acrylic ones will include pastel baby colours and designs.
Veridic Technologies Pvt Ltd Facebook
Another popular theme group of pictures to families, although these have a tendency to look more classical, sometimes with only the inscription Family to differentiate them. Other easy-to assemble themes include weddings or other family events, sports pictures commemorating a favoured athlete or season or holiday photos.
Veridic Technologies Pvt Ltd Reviews
A greater number of collage frames work magically as blank canvasses – and you may be creative with them. Large photo collage frames can be treated as an installation piece. Wall photo collage frames, like hinged picture frames or magnetic collage picture frames, could work as a piece of art on one's wall. Custom poster frames, and on the other hand, can give your enlarged pictures the look of movie posters. These all come in different materials – some are made of wood, others made of metal or acrylic.

Las Olas Boulevard's Mangos Restaurant and Lounge is staying locally owned after a $2.5 million offer from an Orlando-based restaurant group fell through, one of Mangos' owners said Tuesday.
"We didn't back out of the deal," said Gino SantaLucia, a Mangos owner. "They told us they were not proceeding with the sale."
Big Three Restaurants Inc. said in March it intended to buy Mangos at 904 E. Las Olas Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale, as well as the land and building the restaurant operated on. The transaction would total $8.1 million.
Despite the new ownership, Mangos would keep the same menu, concept, and employees, John V. Whitman Jr. of Big Three Restaurants told the Sun Sentinel in March.
Mangos' menu includes seafood, grilled pork chops, grilled chicken sandwiches, soups and salads. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating and can accommodate nearly 300 people.
Whitman could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Big Three Restaurants will not buy the land and building either, SantaLucia said, although that negotiation did not directly involve Mangos. The restaurant leases the corner space on Las Olas.
He said he didn't know why the group dropped the real estate and restaurant plans. "They were going to keep it a Mangos, nothing would change," he said.

Our Lady The Untier of Knots
(Mary Undoer of Knots)
Francis, then Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was studying in Germany when he
fell in love with a painting of Mary. He decided to bring a copy back
with him to Argentina and then promoted the devotion of "Mary Untier of
Knots." It quickly became a very popular devotion, novena and prayer.
This painting is located in Perlach, Germany. It was painted from the inspiration of St. Irenaeus of Lyons who said,
"the knot of Eve's disobedience was loosed by the obedience of Mary. For what the virgin Eve had bound fast through unbelief, this did the virgin Mary set free through faith."
Meaning that Mary is the "second Eve" and by her obedience to God, is undoing the wrong and damage that came along with original sin.
When Mary is invoked, she untangles our knots. Our knots could be addiction, depression, stress, deep hurts, sickness, anger, or even something as simple as the every day tangles we deal with. The knot is a good representation of the results of sin in our spiritual life: As we engage habitually in sin, it becomes harder and harder to return to virtue, just as a knot that is pulled tighter and tighter becomes harder to untie. God's grace, however, offered to us through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, can undo any knot and conquer any sin.
Prayer to Mary Undoer of Knots
Virgin Mary, Mother of fair love,
Mother who never refuses to come to the aid of a child in need,
Mother whose hands never cease to serve your beloved children
because they are moved by the
divine love and immense mercy that exists in your heart,
cast your compassionate eyes upon me
and see the snarl of knots that exist in my life.
You know very well how desperate I am, my pain,
and how I am bound by these knots.
Mary, Mother to whom God entrusted the undoing of the knots
in the lives of his children,
I entrust into your hands the ribbon of my life.
No one, not even the evil one himself,
can take it away from your precious care.
In your hands there is no knot that cannot be undone.
Powerful Mother, by your grace and intercessory power
with Your Son and My Liberator, Jesus,
take into your hands today this knot.
[Mention your request here]
I beg you to undo it for the glory of God,
once for all. You are my hope.
O my Lady, you are the only consolation God gives me,
the fortification of my feeble strength,
the enrichment of my destitution, and, with Christ,
the freedom from my chains. Hear my plea.
Keep me, guide me, protect me,
o safe refuge!
Mary, Undoer of Knots, pray for me.
In : Our Lady's Promise

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a deep ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
Melt the butter in the skillet over medium heat; add the flour and cook, whisking, 3 minutes. Whisk in the milk and chicken broth until smooth; simmer, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 teaspoon salt and the nutmeg.
Add the chicken, mushrooms, gnocchi and spinach to the sauce and stir until coated and the spinach wilts. Sprinkle with the parmesan, transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until bubbling, about 20 minutes. Turn on the broiler; broil until lightly browned on top, about 3 more minutes.

Pamplin Historical Park [VA]
The 422-acre Pamplin Historical Park commemorates Civil War history. The park location is that of the April 2, 1865 "Breakthrough," the battle which caused the evacuation of the Confederate capital at Richmond. The grounds include four museums, four antebellum homes, and living history sites. Constituting the primary draw of the park is the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier, which presents the story of the common soldier involved in the Civil War. The three other museums cover plantation life; slavery in the United States (The Field Quarter); and the battle of April 2, 1865 (The Battlefield Center). The antebellum structures include the 1812 Tudor Hall Plantation house, once the headquarters of Confederate General Samuel McGowan (1819-1897), and the 1700s-era Banks House, Union Lt. General Grant's (1822-1885) headquarters following the battle. The park also offers trails among some of the nation's best-preserved Civil War fortifications.
The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier offers exhibits, life-size dioramas, films, interactive learning stations, an audio tour which makes use of the words of actual soldiers, and a multi-sensory battlefield simulation. The Field Quarter offers a film, an exhibit, heritage livestock, and reconstructed dwellings. The Military Encampment offers hands-on activities. The Battlefield Center offers a multimedia presentation and exhibits. The Banks house offers period rooms. The park also offers educational programs, Civil War Adventure camps, history day camps, interpretive trails, self-guided audio tours of the Breakthrough Battlefield and Tudor Hall plantation, guided battlefield and Tudor Hall tours, tours on a variety of subjects offered on request, interpreters in period costume, artillery and civilian skill demonstrations, and vending machines. Pre- and post-visit activities are available on the website.

Burying the late, great DBS and resuscitating the Vanquish name is no small task for Aston Martin. Armed with a nearly $300,000 asking price, the new 2014 Vanquish demands equal doses of sexy-yet-discreet styling and forward thinking hardware to uphold its desirability in the current exotic car landscape.
|Introducing the 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish
Does the new flagship succeed in stoking the embers of desire? A recent drive on rambling English roads offered some insight into the Vanquish's ability to stoke our champagne-fueled dreams.
Inspired by Seventy-Seven Bespoke Hypercars, Inside and Out
Trickle down styling usually works in the realm of four-wheeled exotica, and Aston Martin's new Vanquish exhibits some of the tight radius curves and hunkered down poise inherited from its ultra-rare predecessor, the One-77. But the new $279,995 flagship also gains a thorough mechanical reworking that helps answer to detractors who claim the British brand is all show and no go: while an extruded aluminum tub remains at its core, the Vanquish adds carbon weave structures to the nose and tail for further weight savings and 25 percent more torsional rigidity, as well as carbon fiber skin all around. Official avoirdupois has yet to be announced, but the Vanquish's curb weight is estimated in the region of 3,750 lbs, nearly 100 lbs less than its DBS predecessor.

|2014 Aston Martin Vanquish
The new 5.9 liter V-12 sits lower and lighter, churning more power (565 hp, 457 lb-ft compared to the old mill's 510 hp) while claiming greater fuel efficiency, thanks in part to the incorporation of variable valve timing. Connecting the powerplant to the 6-speed automated manual rear transaxle is a carbon fiber prop shaft surrounded by an alloy torque tube. Aston claims that 60 mph arrives in 4.1 seconds, and that the Vanquish tops out at 183 mph.
Inside the cabin, a new interior treatment reveals One-77-inspired stitch patterns and details like a haptic touch surface on the center stack. The cockpit has been expanded for less of a cocooning effect, while the "boot" offers 60 percent more space.

It is a poorly kept secret that states are divided on the issue of same sex marriage. Most states, like Virginia, do not recognize same sex marriage. Until recently the federal government did not either. However, the 2013 Supreme Court case U.S. v. Windsor changed that. In U.S. v. Windsor the Supreme Court struck down […]

Olly Murs Carried Pictures Of This Famous Couple Around In His Wallet As A Teenager
We all had crushes on celebrities as young adults, but rarely did we have the hots for both partners AT THE SAME TIME!!!
Mr Murs is DEFINITELY one of the Heart office's BIGGEST crushes, so it pains us just a little when he 'fesses up to fancying other people...but we completely agree with him on this one!
The singer admitted that he used to love not just Posh Spice but her hubby too when he was a teenager!
"I used to carry David and Victoria Beckham's pictures in my wallet. I fancied her, but loved him.
"You can see from my school photo that I wanted to look like David with my curtains."
Murs admitted that he thought that looking like the footballing legend would help him hook up with lots of lovely ladies. Cheeky!

The 32-year-old also dished on his rumoured romance with Heart presenter Caroline Flack.
The pop crooner admitted that although he'd have liked something to happen in the early days, the pair are now just good friends and their busy schedules certainly wouldn't allow for a relationship at the moment.
Plus, check out how hot he looks in his new music video... we can't get enough of it on Heart!
The cheeky chappy added that his ex-girfriend of three years, Francesca Thomas gave her approval for the album. Phewf!

Powel's Standard StakeOut Engineering Software Goes Live at Polk County Rural Power District
Neb. Electric Co-Op Gains StakeOut's Functionality, Ease of Use in a Cost-effective Package
Oct 21, 2010, 10:11 ET
ST. PAUL, Minn., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Powel, a leading developer of software that helps utilities work smarter, recently announced a successful installation of Standard StakeOut™ at the Polk County Rural Public Power District in Stromsburg, Neb.
Powel's Standard StakeOut is a pre-configured version of its highly customizable StakeOut field design software package scaled for rural cooperatives to allow faster, simpler implementation.
Located about 100 miles west of Omaha, Polk County RPPD serves 4,458 total customers and maintains 1,080 miles of line. The utility called on Powel to integrate its CIS (Customer Information System) and GIS (Geographical Information System) systems with Standard StakeOut, once personnel determined the design package to be the most cost-effective solution. Barb Fowler, Polk County RPPD's Technical Systems Coordinator says, "Being a small utility, it is often hard for us to enjoy the software and programs out there because of price. Powel had a tiered package that provided us with a software solution with great functionality that was very easy to use at a price that worked for us."
StakeOut includes in-field job sketching capabilities that synchronize with back-office software to incorporate and analyze data. In the field, Polk County RPPD's staking technician uses a computer to design job sketches, add construction units, generate job documents and edit job sketches and units to reflect as-built changes. StakeOut data is then synchronized to a dedicated server back in the office to calculate costs based on pre-defined construction unit prices and ensures rule base design standards.
The hardware and software interfaces with Polk County RPPD's NISC's IVue ABS system as well as their Manifold GIS system to create an efficient workflow. By using StakeOut, Polk County RPPD streamlines their work processes, eliminates paperwork and decreases errors due to duplication of mapping tasks.
The StakeOut project was initiated in June 2010 and the iVue Accounting and Billing system is fully interfaced, with the GIS system anticipated for next year. Polk County RPPD's Fowler adds that she has been pleased with Powel's ability to help them create and customize a program that works ideally for their service territory.
Standard StakeOut, like the fully customizable StakeOut is just one element of the WorkStudio suite that includes applications for outage recovery, vegetations management, mapping and more. WorkStudio is a mobile work management system that helps utilities work smarter through the entire asset lifecycle.
About Powel, Inc.
Powel, Inc., (www.powelinc.com) headquartered in St. Paul, MN, delivers software solutions that realize our mission of "Helping Utilities Work Smarter." Powel WorkStudio is a Mobile Work Management platform with office-based analysis that helps utilities work smarter through the entire asset lifecycle, from design to construction to service, including right-of-way clearance, maintenance and storm assessment.

' This is a lesson in how not to delete after looking at pics on the monitor of the camera (known as 'chimping' I think - or something like that!). I'm not saying this or the others taken that day are the best heron shots ever - but they have manipulated up quite well considering!' The camera info reads: 1/1000 sec: Aperture 1:5:6: Shutter Priority: ISO 1600 Shutter speed 1/500 sec: Aperture 4. It had gone from drizzle to pouring with rain and I was idly waiting on the car park for the better half and his mother to come back from looking at the water rails when I looked up and realised a heron had landed on the post. It was at least 80 yards distant in awful weather but frustrated from lack of camera work I decided nothing would be lost by trying my luck so I quickly assembled the 500 prime onto my camera and resting it out of the window on the wing mirror, I waited for the heron to do something! I set on Shutter priority instead of Aperture hoping that the bird would fly eventually and that I would get it it - it did and I didn't! But I did get a series of shots which I thought were destined for the bin when I got back. Even after downloading I was convinced they were useless.... sheer determination to have something made me take them thro the usual steps after downloading: Edge presserving smooth, fade correct - which made the colour jump clear and began me thinking these might just rescue, colour adjustments, slight saturation, levels which warmed and darkened and brought even more detail - and also much more grain - to be expected at 1600 ISO! Final sharpening improved things further, so I followed up with a trip to Neat Image to sort out the grain and 'hey presto' end result carefully cropped - not too close - just on the edge of pixelating........... So the moral is two things - one the 500 prime will give results in the most dire weather - just imagine a pro camera on the end of it instead of the old 20D ...... and two always push your luck and see what you can get - the delete button is there at the end if it doesn't work! I put this series of shots up on birdguides.com and got praise - one comment caused me to grin from ear to ear - when asked if this is what I could do in bad weather what was I going to produce in good weather and good light closer to the birds? My answer was '....... a heart attack probably!' © Pauline and Ian Wildlife Images Blog | Guestbook | Links | All Photographs | Latest Images Powered by ZENFOLIO User Agreement Cancel Continue

Saltwater Fishing Gear and Tackle
If you are a fisherman that is used to fishing in freshwater lakes and ponds but considering some ocean fishing, you should be aware that saltwater fishing can be completely different than fishing in a river, lake, stream or pond mainly because the fish that you will encounter will be different. Fishing in the ocean will require different equipment and gear than freshwater. Also, saltwater fisherman need to use different tactics than those fishing in lakes, streams and other freshwater sources. Today's fisherman should be are that successful fishing comes from proper equipment, although skill does factor it into as well. Anyone wishing to fish in saltwater should be aware of the proper gear, tactics and equipment to use. Also, freshwater fish going after certain fish such as Mackerel, Flounder, Snapper, Swordfish or Cod, would benefit from learning how to properly fish in salt water.
First, let's concentrate on your fishing reel. There are reels that are designed for saltwater fishing, because saltwater corrodes your gear more than freshwater does. Look for a reel that is made of out resistant materials such as plated steel, fiber, resin, titanium or stainless steel. Also, be aware that your fishing line can vary depending on what type of fish you are going for. Check with your local fishing store to determine what type of line and leader you should use for the type of fish that you are angling for.
Next, let's talk about your fishing rod. Saltwater fishing rods should be around 8 to 9 feet. Obviously, there is something to be said for buying a rod (and reel) of high quality if you want it to last longer. Something around a hundred or two hundred bucks is a safe bet for a rod that is both high quality and affordable. Buying a good quality rod ensures your ability to resell it later, if you want to upgrade.
Deciding which fly to use is probably one of the most important decisions you can make. You can choose to make your own – either because your favorite handmade fly brings you luck, or because you can make better looking ones than the store has in stock, or you can buy one at your fishing supply store. Either way, you'll want to make sure your fly is specific to the fish you are trying to catch and high in quality. A high quality fly will do the job of fooling the fish into biting.
Let's go over some tips and techniques for fishing in saltwater so that you have a basic idea of what's waiting for you out on the ocean when you go. First, become familiar with your equipment. This may seem obvious but it is important enough to stress here. Getting the hang of tying, casting and baiting will help you once you get out on the water.
Picking the right location and the correct time of day for your saltwater fishing expedition is important, as this affects fish behavior and migratory patterns. Be aware of what time of day and locations are good for the type of fishing you are doing in your part of the world. Also, the tides are a big part of saltwater. Fishing on the ebb tide will bring the best results, although anywhere between half rising and half falling is good.
Research the area if you are new to salt water fishing. Look over navigation charts and know the types of fish that are present in the waters you are fishing in. Also, be aware that fishing on the perimeter is the best place to start saltwater fishing, so that the fish that will be scared away when a fish is hooked is minimal. This way, you can move a bit farther in when you get your first catch, so that you'll have a supply of fish to pull from.
Knowing your fish and what type of flies work best for it, is another tactic that great saltwater anglers use. There are many websites that offer top quality flies that are specific to a certain type of fish. Many times, your local fishing shop will know what flies work and which don't, although a non-fishing store that just carries standard fishing supplies may simply refer you to the flies in stock and tell you that they should work. Make sure you ask someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to choosing flies.
The ocean can be full of surprises, and you'll never know what you will encounter. From dangerous fish like sharks, to the bizarre looking frog fish, you'll never know what to expect. A good idea is to take a good camera along, preferably one with a telephoto lens so that you are able to take pictures of anomalies far away. A camera can make your saltwater fishing trip more enjoyable and more profitable, so take a good one.
The last tip is to take your first salt water fishing expedition with some expert salt water anglers. That way, you'll be able to watch and learn from what they are doing, answer questions, and be corrected when you aren't doing something properly. We wish you luck on your first big saltwater fishing expedition.

I came to motorcycling late in life, having grown up hearing, "Don't ever get on a motorcycle, you'll DIE!!" from my parents. That changed when, at the ripe old age of 40+, I learned that there was a class you could take to learn to ride (the MSF Basic Riders Course), and you didn't need to have your own helmet, or even a motorcycle, to take it. I ended up on BMW because I didn't want a cruiser and the only brand salesman who looked at ME as a buyer was the BMW representative at the local motorcycle show. I've been riding for not quite 15 years, and have been a certified Rider Coach for eight years. I survived my sophomore crash (July 2004) wearing BMW gear. I also survived a highway-speed encounter with road debris that cracked the front wheel casting on my Rockster (R 1150 R). I've taken Lee Parks' Total Control and the MSF's Advanced Riders' Course several times (because it's fun!). Having recently moved to Lynchburg, VA, I am loving the amazing roads that are right outside.

Gartner Says By 2016, 40 Percent of Mobile Application Development Projects Will Leverage Cloud Mobile Back-End Services
Gartner Special Report Examines Mobile Applications Strategies and Architecture
Gartner Analysts Will Discuss Mobility and Its Impact on the Enterprise at the Gartner Catalyst Technical Forum on Mobility, June 19 in Frankfurt, Germany and September 25 in London
By 2016, 40 percent of mobile application development projects will leverage cloud back-end services, causing development leaders to lose control of the pace and path of cloud adoption within their enterprises, predicts Gartner, Inc.
Cloud mobile back-end services provide a specialized form of platform as a service (PaaS) to support mobile application development. These cloud services referred to by some in the market as mobile back-end as a service provide the back-end capabilities commonly required by mobile applications, such as user management, data storage, push notifications and social network integration. In addition, some cloud mobile back-end services allow developers to deploy server-side code.
Cloud mobile back-end services stand to become a key component of the application development ecosystem, said Gordon Van Huizen, research director at Gartner. As a result, a given organization may begin using them without first developing the requisite understanding of the issues and risks associated with employing cloud services for application infrastructure. Whats needed, then, is something of a crash course in the fundamental concerns of deploying application functionality in the cloud.
A primary goal of mobile back-end services is to make the use of cloud capabilities, such as data storage, as natural to the mobile application developer as possible. The programmer develops mobile applications using familiar storage programming mechanisms, and the cloud service acts as a black box that stores and retrieves the data as necessary. But as the use of cloud services by mobile applications grows, the challenge of governing the security and use of sensitive corporate data also grows. Left ungoverned, this results in the hidden movement of potentially sensitive data to the cloud, and the possibility of inadequate security. Governing such interactions between mobile applications, enterprise systems and the cloud may require additional security and governance capabilities beyond those found in a particular mobile application development platform (MADP).
Governance technology can only be effective, though, if it is used, said Mr. Van Huizen. Clear policies must be established and communicated to developers prior to the use of cloud mobile back-end services by applications that may access corporate or customer data.
A significant amount of enterprise application development takes place outside the scope of IT in the form of business unit application development, end-user application development and development outsourced by business units to third parties. Historically, most mobile application development not performed by IT has been outsourced. This is beginning to change with the emergence of visual app builders and other forms of rapid mobile application development tools. With the increased demand for mobile applications, non-IT developers will increasingly look for ways to provide mobile applications that satisfy their business requirements, and they will begin building their own mobile applications.
This presents a risk much greater than in the past, said Mr. Van Huizen. The advent of more sophisticated rapid mobile application development environments, the availability of cloud services and increased access to enterprise systems will expand the potential for non-IT developers to build applications that commingle sensitive corporate data with cloud-based services and storage. It is, therefore, necessary to extend awareness of the issues to the broader organization, as well as the organizations policies for cloud services, so that mobile applications built outside IT are subject to the same oversight and governance as those built within IT.
Additional details on cloud mobile back-end services can be found in the report What AD Leaders Need to Know About Cloud Mobile Back-End Services: Dont Enter the Cloud Unprepared. The report can be found on Gartners website at http://www.gartner.com/resId=2330315.
Additional information on mobile strategies for development and integration is available in the Gartner Special Report The Mobile Imperative: Mobile Application Strategies and Architecture. The special report can be viewed at http://www.gartner.com/technology/research/mobile-imperative/ and includes links to reports and video commentary that examine the impact of mobile application strategies and architecture on enterprises.
Mobility and its impact on the enterprise will be further discussed at the Gartner Catalyst Technical Forum on Mobility taking place June 19 in Frankfurt, Germany and September 25 in London. The new Gartner Catalyst Technical Forum on Mobility delivers the latest Gartner for Technical Professionals Research insight and recommendations to address mobile challenges. Geared toward IT practitioners, it provides detailed, tactical guidance on technical architecture, policy and implementation approaches to make your enterprise mobility initiatives successful.

Duke Takes Down No. 11 Clemson, 7-2
April 11, 2010
Courtesy of Duke Athletics
DURHAM, N.C. - Chase Bebout held No. 11 Clemson to two runs over a career-high 7.1 innings in his first career ACC start to lead Duke to a series-clinching 7-2 victory in the series finale on Sunday at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Bebout (4-0), a freshman who had been Duke's top midweek starter until getting the Sunday call versus Clemson, threw a career-high 114 pitches while holding the Tigers to just six hits. The 6-6, 210-pound right-hander struck out five batters on the way to a win in his first career ACC appearance.
Bebout got plenty of early run support from his offense, beginning with a two-run homer from senior Will Currier who homered for the fourth straight. The 6-4, 215-pound Currier crushed the home run in his first at bat of the day to give himself four home runs and nine RBI in four games this week. He also extended his hitting streak to a career-best seven games and drove in at least one run for the ninth straight outing.
Duke also got a solo home run from junior Dennis O'Grady, a two-run single from freshman Eric Brady and an RBI double from senior Jeremy Gould. Behind the 10-hit, seven-run outburst, the Blue Devils never trailed and won their second series versus a top-15 opponent this season.
Reliever Ben Grisz took over for Bebout midway through the eighth inning and recorded the final four outs of the game. The appearance was the third of the week for Grisz, who helped preserve Friday's 10-9 victory over Clemson and Tuesday's 9-5 victory versus William and Mary.
Duke scored four runs off of Clemson starter Will Lamb (3-2), who gave up both of Duke's home runs in his 3.0 innings of work. Clemson then went to its bullpen and used three relievers, but Duke scored three more times off of that group to lead by no less than three runs for the remainder of the game.
Timely hits were key in Duke's win, as the Blue Devils went 5-for-11 (.455) with two outs on the board and stranded just four base runners. Brian Litwin, Marcus Stroman and Brady combined for three straight two-strike, two-out singles in the bottom of the sixth inning when Duke increased its lead to 6-1.
Currier extended his home run streak almost immediately with a two-run shot in the bottom of the first inning. His third blast of the series cleared the 32-foot wall in left-center field and put Duke on top 2-0 as senior Ryan McCurdy was on base following a leadoff walk. The home run was the seventh of the season for Currier, who has blasted six out of the park in his last nine games.
Bebout was able to protect that lead through his first three innings, though Clemson cut the deficit to 2-1 in the top of the third inning. A leadoff walk to nine-hitter Addison Johnson came back to hurt Bebout when Chris Epps and Mike Freeman followed with consecutive singles to drive in the run. Bebout settled down and got out of the inning with Duke's lead still intact by forcing two flyouts and picking off Epps at second base.
Duke took that run right back in the bottom of the third, thanks to a two-out RBI double from Gould that scored Currier all the way from first base. Currier reached after taking a pitch off his elbow and hustled all the way around the bases on Gould's double, which hit the top of the left field wall extended the senior's hitting streak to 12 games.
O'Grady ripped one out of the park in Duke's next turn to put the Blue Devils on top 4-1 when he led off the fourth inning with a solo shot to left field for his first home run of the season. It also prompted a pitching change as the Tigers brought in David Haselden to replace Lamb, who stayed in the game as the designated hitter. Haselden went on to retire six of the next seven batters he faced to keep the deficit at 4-1.
Duke got to Haselden in the bottom of the sixth, however, and scored twice on Brady's two-out single. Brady's single actually came against reliever Alex Frederick, who replaced Haselden after the Blue Devils tagged him for two straight two-strike, two-out singles. Brady continued that trend with another two-strike knock to score both Litwin and Stroman who had the first two base hits. Both Litwin and Stroman also stole second base in that inning to put themselves in scoring position for Brady, who knocked a full-count fastball through the left side to send in both runners.
Bebout stayed on in the seventh and needed just seven pitches to retire the side in order. Bebout eclipsed the 100-pitch mark for the first time in his career during that inning while holding the Tigers scoreless for the fourth straight frame.
Bebout picked up one more strikeout in the top of the eighth, but was pulled after surrendering a one-out double to Clemson two-hitter Mike Freeman. Grisz then took over on the mound and gave up an RBI single to three-hitter Jeff Schaus, but retired the next two batters to take Duke's 6-2 lead into the bottom of the eighth.
The Blue Devils got one more insurance run in the top of the eighth to build a 7-2 lead heading into the final frame. Grisz stayed on and surrendered two one-out singles, but then rolled a double play ground ball to Lemmerman, who stepped on second and then fired to first to end the game.
Up next for Duke is a pair of midweek games versus Davidson and UNC Greensboro at the USA Baseball National Training Complex on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 13-14. Both games begin at 6 p.m. in Cary, N.C.

Karen- LOVE your home! You've done such a wonderful job, and I think your home is proof that if you buy what you love, it all works together (although some skill is needed, and you have it!). No wonder that sofa is your pride and joy! I like that you chose lavender rather than a safe neutral. I don't know how to describe your style. Glam? Eclectic? Bold but feminine too??

I wish I could give each and every one of you a hug!
Thank you again for making my week :-)

Congratulations on your 100th post! I just did my 100th post today.
I love your tufted sofa...it is striking!
The silouette woman at Disney is amazing. When I was last there, I asked if they could glue the silouette to the reverse side of the card, which is plain white. That way you do not have the Disney logo around the silouette!
