Chapter III
grew and became an active boy: at school he was amongst the first, and he was capable at his work at home. That was because at home he was fond of his mother and at school he was fond of his master. His father he saw but little, for he was either away fishing or else he was looking after their mill, where half the parish had their grinding done.
The thing which most influenced his mind during these years was the schoolmasters history, which his mother told him one evening as they sat by the fire. It ran through all his books, it underlay every word the schoolmaster said; he felt it in the air of the schoolroom when all was quiet. It filled him with obedience and respect, and gave him a quicker apprehension, as it were, of all that was taught him. This was the story:
Baard was the schoolmasters name and he had a brother called Anders. They were very fond of each other; both enlisted, lived in town together, and were together in the war, when they both became corporals and served in the same company. When, after the war, they came home again, everybody thought them two stalwart fellows. Then their father died. He had a good deal of loose property which was difficult to divide evenly, so they said to each other that they would not fall out about it, but would put up the things to auction so that each could buy what he wished and then they would share the proceeds. So said so done. But their father possessed a large gold watch which was widely renowned, for it was the only gold watch people in those parts had ever seen. When this watch was put up many rich people tried for it, until the brothers, too, began to bid; then the others gave way. Now Baard expected Anders to let him get the watch, and Anders expected the same of Baard; each made his bid in turn to prove the other, and they looked across at each other whilst they bid. When the watch had got up to twenty dollars Baard felt it was not nice of his brother to bid against him, and kept on bidding until it got towards thirty dollars. As Anders still did not give in, it seemed to Baard that Anders neither remembered how good he had been to him, nor yet that he was the eldest. The watch got over thirty dollars, and Anders still kept on. Then Baard ran the watch up to forty dollars in one bid, and no longer looked at his brother. It was very quiet in the auction-room; only the bailiff quietly repeated the figures. Anders thought as he stood there that if Baard could afford to give forty dollars he could too, and if Baard grudged him the watch he would have to take it; so out-bid him. This seemed to Baard the greatest slight that had ever been put upon him; he bid fifty dollars, quite softly. A great many people were standing round, and Anders thought he must not let his brother thus put him to shame in everybodys hearing, so he bid over him. Then Baard laughed: A hundred dollars and my brotherhood into the bargain, said he; turned, and went out of the room. Some one presently came out to him whilst he was busy saddling the horse he had bought just before.
The watch is yours, said the man; Anders gave in.
The moment Baard heard this a sort of remorse fell upon him; he thought of his brother and not of the watch. The saddle was on, but he paused with his hand on the horses back, uncertain whether he should start. Then a lot of people came out, Anders amongst them; and so soon as he saw his brother standing there by the saddled horse not knowing what was in Baards mind, he called out to him:
Much good may the watch do you, Baard! It wont be going on the day when your brother runs after you any more.
Nor yet on the day when I ride home again, answered Baard, with a white face, as he mounted his horse. The house in which they had lived with their father, neither of them entered again.
Soon after, Anders married and settled as a cottar-tenant, but did not invite Baard to the wedding. Baard was not at church either.
In the first year of Anders marriage the only cow he possessed was found dead by the north wall of the house, where it was tethered; and nobody could make out what it had died of. Several misfortunes followed, and he went down in the world; but the worst was when in mid-winter his barn was burnt with all that was in it; nobody knew how the fire broke out.
Somebody that hates me has done this, said Anders, and he wept that night. He became a poor man and lost all heart for work.
Next evening Baard stood in his room, Anders was lying on the bed when he entered, but he jumped up.
What do you want here? he asked, but stopped short and stood looking fixedly at his brother. Baard waited a little before he answered:
I want to help you, Anders; the lucks been against you.
The lucks been as you wished it to be, Baard. Go, or I maynt be able to keep my hands off you.
You are mistaken, Anders; Im sorry
Go Baard, or God help both you and me!
Baard drew back a pace or two; with a quivering voice he said:
If youll take the watch, you shall have it.
Go, Baard! shouted the other, and Baard went.
With Baard things had gone in this wise. So soon as he heard that his brother was in distress his heart melted towards him, but pride kept him back. He felt himself much drawn towards the church, and there he formed good resolutions, but he had not the strength to carry them out. He often set forth and came within sight of the house, but now some one came out of the door, now there was a stranger there, or Anders was out chopping wood; so that there was always something in the way. One Sunday in midwinter, however, he was once more at church and Anders was there too. Baard saw him; he had grown pale and thin, he wore the same clothes as when they were together, but now they were old and ragged. During the sermon he looked up at the pastor, and it seemed to Baard that he was kind and gentle. He remembered their childhood and what a good boy he was. Baard himself took the Sacrament that day, and he made the solemn promise before his God that, come what might, he would be reconciled to his brother. This purpose penetrated his soul just as he drank the wine, and when he rose he intended to go straight over and sit down beside him, but some one was sitting in the way and his brother did not look up. After service there were still difficulties: there were too many people about; his brothers wife was walking by his side and he did not know her. He thought it would be best to go to his house and have a serious talk with him. When evening came he did so. He went right up to the door and listened, but then he heard his own name mentioned. It was the woman who spoke.
He took the Sacrament to-day, said she. I daresay he was thinking of you.
No, he wasnt thinking of me, said Anders. I know him; he thinks only of himself.
For a long time nothing more was said. Baard perspired as he stood there, although it was a cold evening. The woman inside was busy over a pot that bubbled and hissed on the fire, an infant cried now and then, and Anders rocked the cradle.
Then she said these words:
I believe you two are always thinking of each other and wont own to it.
Let us talk of something else, answered Anders. He rose soon after to go to the door. Baard had to hide himself in the woodshed, and Anders came to that very place to fetch an armful of wood. Baard stood in the corner and saw him distinctly; he had taken off his wretched church-clothes and had on the uniform in which he had come home from the war, just like Baards. The brothers had promised each other never to wear these uniforms, but to leave them as heirlooms in the family. Anders was now patched and worn out, his strong, well-developed body appeared as if wrapped in a bundle of rags, and just then Baard could hear the gold watch ticking in his own pocket. Anders went to the place where the faggots lay; instead of immediately stooping to load himself, he stopped, leaned back against a pile of wood and looked out at the sky, which was clear and glittering with stars. Then he heaved a sigh and said:
Wellwellwellmy God, my God! As long as Baard lived he heard those words. He wanted to step forward and greet him, but just then Anders coughed and it sounded so harsh. That was enough to check him. Anders took his armful of wood and brushed by Baard so closely that the twigs scratched his face and made it smart.
He stood motionless on the same spot for quite ten minutes, and might have stood much longer had it not been that after so much strong emotion he was seized with a shivering fit that shook him from head to foot. Then he went out: he acknowledged frankly to himself that he was too cowardly to go in, so he now formed another plan. Out of a cinder-box which stood in the corner he had just left, he took some pieces of coal, found a splinter of resinous wood, went up into the barn, closed the door after him and struck a light. When he had got the wood lighted he looked for the peg upon which Anders hung his lantern when he came out in the early morning to thresh. Baard took off his gold watch and hung it on the peg, then extinguished his splinter and went away. He felt his heart so lightened that he ran over the snow like a young boy.
The next day he heard that the barn had been burned down in the night. Sparks had probably fallen from the splinter which he had lighted that he might see to hang up the watch.
This so overpowered him that all that day he sat like a sick person, took down his psalm-book and sang, so that the people in the house thought there must be something wrong with him. But in the evening he went out; it was bright moonlight. He went to his brothers farm, poked about on the site of the fireand found, sure enough, a little lump of gold. It was the watch, melted down.
With this in his hand he went in to his brother that evening and besought him to make peace. What came of this attempt has already been related.
A little girl had seen him scraping among the ashes on the site of the fire; some boys, on their way to a dance, had noticed him on the Sunday evening going down towards Anders farm; the people at home had told how strangely he had behaved on the Monday; and as everyone knew that he and his brother were bitter enemies, the matter was reported to the authorities and an inquiry set on foot. No one could prove anything against him, but suspicion clung to him. Reconciliation with his brother was now more impossible than ever.
Anders had thought of Baard when the barn was burnt, but had said so to no one. When, on the following evening, he saw him in his room, so white and strange-looking, he immediately thought:
Remorse has got hold of him now, but for such a horrible crime against his brother there can be no forgiveness.
Afterwards he heard how people had seen him go down to the buildings on the evening of the fire, and although nothing was brought to light by the inquiry, he was firmly convinced that Baard was the culprit. They met at the inquiry; Baard in his good clothes, Anders in his rags. As Anders entered, Baard looked over at him with such beseeching eyes that Anders felt the look in his very marrow.
He wants me to say nothing, thought Anders, and when he was asked whether he believed his brother had done the deed he said loudly and distinctly:
But Anders took to drink from that day, and soon fell into a bad way. Baard suffered still more, although he did not drink. One would not have known him for the same man.
At last, late one evening, a poor woman came into the little room in which Baard lodged, and asked him to come out a little way with her. He knew it was his brothers wife. Baard at once understood upon what errand she had come; he turned as white as death, put on his things, and went with her without speaking a word. A faint glimmer of light came from Anders window, and they made for the gleam; for there was no path over the snow. When Baard stood once more in the passage he was met by a strange odour, which turned him sick. They went in. A little child was sitting on the hearth eating coal; its face was black all over, but it looked up, and laughed with white teeth. It was his brothers child. In the bed, with all kinds of clothes over him, lay Anders, wasted, with high, transparent forehead, looking with hollow eyes at his brother. Baards knees trembled beneath him; he sat down on the foot of the bed and burst into a violent fit of weeping. The sick man looked at him immovably and was silent. At last he told his wife to go out, but Baard motioned her to stay,and now the two brothers began to talk together. They explained themselves from the day of their bidding for the watch right down to the moment of their present meeting. Baard concluded by taking out the lump of gold which he always carried about him, and each now confessed to the other that in all these years he had not felt happy for a single day. Anders did not say much for he was not able, but Baard sat at his bedside all through his illness.
Now I am quite well, said Anders one morning when he woke, now, my dear brother, we will live long together and never part, as in the old days.
But that day he died.
Baard took his wife and child home with him, and from that day forward they wanted for nothing.
What the brothers had said to each other as Baard sat by the bed made its way out through the walls and the night, and became known to every one in the village, and no one was more highly esteemed than Baard. Every one paid respect to him as they would to one who has had great sorrow and found joy again, or as to one who has been long absent. Baard was comforted by the friendliness which surrounded him, and devoted himself to the service of God. He wanted some occupation, he said, and so the old corporal took to teaching school. What he instilled into the children first and last was love; and he practised it himself, so that the little ones were devoted to him as a playfellow and father, all in one.
This, then, was the story of the old schoolmaster, and it took such a hold on Eyvinds mind that it became to him at once a religion and an education. The schoolmaster appeared to him almost a supernatural being, although he sat there so sociably and pretended to scold them. Not to know a lesson for him was impossible, and if he got a smile or a pat on the head after saying it he felt a glow of happiness for a whole day.
It always made the deepest impression on the children when the schoolmaster, before singing, would make a little speech; and at least once every week he used to read them a few verses about brotherly love. When he read the first of these verses there was always a quiver in his voice, although he had read it again and again for twenty or thirty years; it ran thus:
Love thy neighbour, Christian leal,
Tread him not with iron heel
If in dust he lies.
All things living join to prove
The creative power of love
When a pure heart tries.
But when the whole poem was finished and he had paused a moment after it, he would look at them with a twinkle in his eyes:
Up with you, youngsters, and get you home nicely without any noisewalk nicely so that I may hear nothing but good accounts of you, little people!
And then, while they were making a very Babel in searching for their books and dinner-boxes, he would cry above the uproar:
Come back again to-morrow as soon as its light, or youll catch it! Come back in good time little girls and boys, then well go to work with a will!

Most of you are too familiar with the symptoms of the common cold: runny nose, sneezing, scratchy throat, headache, fever and a rundown feeling. Slightly less common, but still a winter regular is influenza. The flu differs from a cold by its abrupt onset, shorter duration, and more pronounced fever, chills, muscle aches and fatigue. When you take the right steps, you can prevent or at the very least lessen the misery you and your child go through during the flu and cold season.
Prevention is the Best Medicine
The great thing about kids is their resilient immune systems. Children can withstand a lot more dents in their lifestyle armor than adults before they get sick. This doesn't mean you should condone unhealthful habits for your children. The younger a child learns sound eating practices, and the importance of exercise, sleep and care for his body, the better. Also, promoting a healthy lifestyle for a child places him on solid ground for the future.
Many of the health principles that apply to grownups are also fitting for young ones. A wholesome diet high in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, with enough protein foods like dried beans, legumes, lean meats, fish and fowl, and low in sugar, salt and fat is best. Eating a lot of sugar and fat depresses your child's immunity and opens him up to more illness.
Most parents complain that their children won't eat these foods, and aren't sure how to introduce a nutritional plan. The secret lies in starting your child out on these foods early so they're a normal part of his meals. If you're trying to change the eating habits of an older child, it's more difficult but can be done. Making gradual changes in his diet, for example switching from regular jam to a sugarless fruit spread might work. Try disguising healthy foods by including them in your child's favorite dishes. Vegetables on pizza, chicken fajitas on whole wheat tortillas or cookies made with barley flour are all ways to push your child's diet to the healthy side.
As with adults, staying well means regular exercise. Fortunately for kids, physical activity is not usually a problem. If your child likes to play outside, ride her bike or play sports you're set. However, during the last couple of decades children have become more sedentary. Television, and more recently, video games are in large part responsible. Besides being sit-still activities, TV in particular promotes junk-food-snacking. Both are also indoor pastimes depriving your child of fresh air and vitamin D rich sunshine.
Your health habits also affect your child. Besides being a role model in the eating and exercise department, your cigarette, cigar or pipe smoking harms your youngster. Irrefutable evidence points to the ill provoking effects of second-hand smoke. Children of smokers are prone to more respiratory infections, ear infections, colds and sickness in general.
Finally, exposure to germs is a factor in illness especially if you're rundown. Children in daycare or attending school full-time tend to come down with colds and flu more often than kids at home. For many families, putting their children in a child-care center is unavoidable. School, unless you elect to teach your children at home (and many people do), is normal. The best defense against sickness in these circumstances is building your child's resistance.

How colds and flu differ, how to stop them spreading and who's at risk of complications.
Flu is not a "bad cold". Each year, thousands of people die of complications after catching the flu. Find out how colds and flu differ.
Colds and flu share some of the same symptoms (cough, sore throat), but are caused by different viruses. Flu can be much more serious than a cold.
If you're generally fit and healthy, you can usually manage the symptoms of a cold or flu yourself without seeing your GP.
Cold and flu symptoms are similar but flu tends to be more severe. Colds cause more nasal problems than flu. Fever, fatigue and muscle aches are more likely and more severe with flu.
Symptoms of colds and flu can include:
A cold develops gradually over one or two days and you're most contagious during the early stages when you have a runny nose and sore throat. You should begin to feel better after a few days but some colds can last up to two weeks.
Flu usually comes on much more quickly than a cold, and symptoms appear one to three days after infection. You should begin to feel better within a week or so, but you may feel tired for much longer.
Whether it's a cold or flu, get medical help if you either:
You may be more at risk of serious complications, such as pneumonia and bronchitis if you:
Everyone in an at-risk group is eligible for a free flu vaccination. Read more about how to manage symptoms of flu if you are in an at-risk group.
Cold and flu viruses are spread when you breathe in droplets that are coughed or sneezed out by an infected person. You can also catch a cold or flu by touching an infected object or surface and then touching your eyes and nose.

Rondeau Makes 32 Saves
HANOVER, N.H. – The Yale men's hockey team had not played this type of game all season. The first low-scoring, close contest on the 2010-11 Bulldogs' resume was a success in hostile territory. Ryan Rondeau stopped 32 shots as the nation's top ranked team extended Division I's longest win streak to eight games and stayed perfect in conference play with a 2-1 win over Dartmouth before 4,312 at Thompson Arena.
A ferocious fore-check, great goaltending and two tallies from sophomores helped the Bulldogs improve to 13-1 (7-0 ECAC) and move into first place. All three goals came in the second period, including clutch shots from Yalies Antoine Laganiere and Josh Balch.
Rondeau, who tied a career-high with his save total, may have played his best game for the Bulldogs. The senior stopped 12 in the first and 10 in each of the last two periods on a night when both teams went scoreless on two man-advantages.
The Blue had the shots advantage, 37-33, as James Mello made 35 saves for the Big Green (7-4-2, 5-2-1).
"It was a heck of a hockey game and Dartmouth played very well," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey. "I liked our fore-check, and we made it hard for them to get it up ice."
Dartmouth had the advantage (12-11) in shots during a scoreless first period. It took Yale more than four minutes to get its first puck on net, but the Bulldogs gave Mello a few tests the rest of the way. Andrew Miller made a pair of amazing moves with the puck to get past defensive pairs on different shifts and had Yale's best chances. Mello came up with stops on both attempts.
The visitors broke through first in the middle frame. Brian O'Neill brought the puck over the Dartmouth blueline and fed across to Ken Trentowski. The Eli blueliner carried to the left circle and fired a low shot off Mello's pad. Laganiere extended his long frame to snatch the rebound and flick it into the open side of the net at 7:49 for his second goal of the year.
"The puck popped up and I dragged it past the goalie's pad with an open side," said Laganiere.
The Green evened the score almost five minutes later on a wrap-around shot by Rob Smith (2nd goal) at 12:13. He picked up a loose puck in the corner, swept around the net and squeezed a shot through a small hole at the near post.
The opening period was quick and clean. The game's first penalty didn't come until Chad Ziegler was called for interference late in the second period.
As soon as the Blue killed off the infraction, it struck for a 2-1 lead with Ziegler making the initial pass. Brendan Mason got the puck from Ziegler behind the net and he quickly found Balch between the right circle and the edge of the crease on a perfect feed. The sophomore forward one-timed it inside the near post for his second tally of the year at 16:12. That turned out to be the winner.
"Mason was behind the net and sent me a pass. I just tried to put it back quickly. When you put the puck on the net, anything can happen," said Balch.
The period ended with Yale on a two-man advantage for 48 more seconds and a very busy Mello, who stopped a flurry of shots just before the second buzzer. The home team killed off both penalties and then turned a good defensive play into an odd-man rush that was thwarted at the end by an amazing Rondeau glove save.
"Getting shots early get you focused," said Rondeau. "They came out hard and we weathered the storm. I felt like a lot of shots were from the perimeter, which is what you want. Our guys also blocked a lot of shots."
Dartmouth pulled Mello for the extra skater with 65 seconds left but - like most of the game - the Yale fore-check prevented sustained pressure. When the Green did reach the Yale net, Rondeau came up with the stop every time.
"Ryan [Rondeau] was rock solid. He had real strong first 10 minutes and that helped him as the game went along," said Allain.
"When we had a breakdown, Ryan was there to bail us out," said captain Jimmy Martin.

Derogatory term for the White House, used when the current administration, during a government shutdown, closes open area parks, memorials, roadways that are otherwise open 24 hrs. a day, 7 days a week plus closes down large areas of the ocean, throws elderly people out of their privately owned homes that sit on federal land, shuts down the amberalert.gov website, etc. all out of spite. These spiteful actions are meant to hurt as many Americans as possible for no other purpose than to score political points.
The Spite House just shut down amberalert.gov but kept letsmove.gov up and running.
by Soldier1EaODGreen October 07, 2013
A nickname for the White House under the Obama administration in late 2013, when during the partial government shutdown, many questionable decisions were made about what to keep up open versus what to shut down or bar from the general public. The decisions appeared to be made to make the American people "feel the pain" of the shutdown who would have otherwise not noticed; therefore, said to be done by the Obama administration out of spite and in efforts to drum up anger. The Obama administration apparently decided to close national parks, barricade ("Barrycade") open-air memorials, put cones along roadways that are otherwise usually open, restrict fishermen from the waters, evict residents out of their privately-owned homes on federal land, shut down the Amber Alert website, etc. while keeping other non-essential programs and services open, such as the golf course where Obama and members of the administration play golf.
"Who wants to visit the WWII Memorial this weekend?"
"We can't, the Spite House has it blocked with a Barrycade."
"We can't, the Spite House has it blocked with a Barrycade."

The U.S. Congress was taken over by teahadist Republicans. These people who, for whatever reason, are opposed to anything proposed by President Obama. Even though the tea party is only a small, but growing, part of the Republican Party, they seem to hold the House under their control. The "spite" refers to this delusional minority holding the government hostage as they stubbornly try to get their way. This spite lead to the now infamous tea party downgrade and the equally infamous tea party shutdown These teatards would rather destroy our economy and credit rating out of spite than compromise with Democrats.
The tea party damaged America's credit rating out of spite and their opposition to reason and the tradition of compromise. The Republicans' Spite House is a big problem for Obama, the Congressional Democrats and all Americans!

Climate Change and Forests
Scientists have been saying for years that human-caused warming of the globe is real. Only recently has the general public come to realize the grave consequences that a warmer planet would have and that climate change is truly one of the greatest challenges we have ever faced.
It begs the question: What can we do to stop it?
Part of the answer is right here in Oregon's towering old-growth forests. Scientists have found that the Northwest's giant trees are also giant carbon sinks, catching the pollution that causes the planet to warm.
So the answer to the question: "What can we do to stop global warming?" is to protect our old-growth forests that are the natural warriors, quietly fighting the global warming battle for us.
Forests and Carbon
Forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle. Trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere when they grow, and they release CO2 to the atmosphere as they decompose. Forests help reduce global warming when they grow and absorb more carbon than they emit. Forests can also worsen climate change when trees emit more carbon than they absorb. For instance, logging stops trees from growing, and accelerates the transfer of carbon from the forest to the atmosphere, through fragmentation, accelerated decomposition, and combustion.
Over the past two centuries, forest conversion and forest management have contributed a substantial fraction of the excess CO2 observed in the atmosphere. Today's management choices will determine whether forests continue to be part of the problem or become part of the solution.
Two reports from Oregon Wild on northwest forests and global warming
|Climate Control: How Northwest Old-Growth Forests Can Help Fight Global Warming
|Oregon's Carbon Sinks: an Oregon Wild report localizing national analysis by the Woods Hole Research Center
The Impacts
Oregon Wild is also keenly aware of the adverse impacts climate change could have on our natural treasures. From reduced snowpack, to changing habitat, global warming presents a threat to the special places we cherish in Oregon.
That's why we teamed up with multiple conservation groups and the Western Environmental Law Center to sue the federal government to allow for more stringent auto emissions standards. This is new territory for us, but global warming could impact so much of Oregon's wildlands, wildlife and wild rivers that we felt compelled to act.

Millwall 2-0 Leeds United
Mark Beevers struck inside the opening 10 minutes to set Millwall on their way to a 2-0 victory over Leeds and their first opening-day win since 2010.
The Lions, without a victory to kick off their Championship season at the last three attempts, welcomed Leeds - under new boss Dave Hockaday - to The Den.
Beevers got them off to a flyer after a neat short corner routine and Shaun Williams made sure of the result from the penalty spot two minutes from time.
In the opening stages neither side looked likely to score as they started restlessly, both struggling to gain possession and cautiously testing one another.
But Millwall carved out an early breakthrough, catching Leeds' back line off guard with a short corner and allowing Beevers to put them ahead in the eighth minute.
Following a neatly-worked move, the defender stretched beyond his marker and turned Lee Martin's cross into the net past the rooted Marco Silvestri.
The goal settled any nerves the home side had and they continued to press forward, now in search of a second, with Scott McDonald at the heart of all their endeavours.
Ian Holloway's men could have doubled their lead 10 minutes later through Beevers again, but he was unable to make the most of his free header, turning it wide.
It was a half of few chances and the home fans encouraged their team to shoot whenever possible.
However, only two sides conceded more Championship goals than Millwall men last season and the majority of the Lions' support was content to see them preserve both their clean sheet and a lead into the break.
Leeds nearly drew level soon after the break when Millwall goalkeeper David Forde made a mistake rushing to the ball, which fell kindly to Nicky Ajose.
He picked out Noel Hunt in the centre of the box, who sent a low strike but Carlos Edwards was on the line to clear away to safety.
The hosts then rushed down the other end where Martyn Woolford saw his shot saved by Silvestri in a frantic opening few minutes to the second half.
Edwards was then brought down just to the right-hand edge of the Leeds area but Williams could not convert the free-kick, his tame shot easily taken by Silvestri.
Millwall looked to have a penalty on 57 minutes when Martyn Woolford was brought down but Oliver Langford waived protests away and Leeds broke but to no avail.
However, the hosts put the game beyond doubt in the closing moments of the match when substitute Lee Gregory, making his debut, was fouled in the area by Lewis Cook.
Williams stepped up stuck the resulting penalty to Silvestri's right and into the back of the net.

Anyone know where to get a variable speed motor control to drop my 115volt 15 amp ac chopsaw motor from 3900rpm to 1600rpm or so? I am looking to run some of my Dewalt carbide metal blades for some nice clean cuts versus the standard metal cutting blades and don't want to damage them with the high speed. Thanks. Dave
No announcement yet.

you can not do this!!!!
those saws are not designed to cut at a slower speed and the motors are not built to handle the stresses that carbides produce. they are more agressive and grab when cutting.trailblazer 280 nt with 3000 hrs and running strong

The guy at Sharp-rite where I bring my wood and metal blades to get sharened says he has seen it done quite often. He mentionaed a speed control that you can get through a woodworking magazine but I couldn't find what he was talking about. The Dewalt carbide I have definitely cuts alot "easier" than the disposable type wheels. I guess this is because it "machines" the metal when making a cut versus grinding it. And the nice thing is the metal doesn't get hot. But, I was using the blades at 3900 rpm not realizing max speed was 1800rpm, so you can ultimately see why they didn'rt last as long as they should . Speed=friction=heat. Anyways, if I can't find anything online I'm just gonna drive back to him to see what the piece was called. Thanks again. Dave
Grizzly sells a router speed control, but your chop saw motor WILL burn out if you use a carbide blade and reduce the speed in half. Not Might, it will. I went through two saws this way, then broke down and bought a bandsaw. I will eventually buy a cold cut saw made for the purpose as well, but since I had to cut some 8" and 9" beams, it only made sense to get the bandsaw. Best money I have ever spent. The cut quality is between an abrasive and a cold cut, almost as nice as the cold cut carbide saws.
Not trying to be a downer, but if you want to waste $50 on a speed control, and then have to buy another saw soon to replace the one that gets burnt up, its up to you.Voigt Precision Welding, Inc.

Listen to what some of the other posters have told you.
A speed reducer for your abrasive saw is not the solution. Reducing the speed also reduces the torque. You WILL (not may) burn up a perfectly good chop saw.
Porter Cable, Milwaukee, Makita, etc all make cold cut saws designed to operate at the speeds dictated by carbide blades. I understand that Evolution (looks like a Porter Cable) also makes a 14" cold cut saw which Sears sells for in the $270 range. If it is indeed, a rebadged PC, it is a good saw.
The cold cut saws are well worth the money. You'll want to keep the abrasive though, since the cold cut saws arn't recommended for re-bar or other "mystery metal" such as bedframes.

I would hate to have ruined a $100 bladeI'm not late...
I'm just on Hawaiian Time
No problem. Hope it did save a $100 blade.
With my Porter Cable 1410, the instruction manual (yea, I do read those things) says specifically, NOT to cut rebar. That's why I kept my DeWalt chop saw (for mystery metal).
You may want to check out FleaBay for spare blades. If you do a search for Freud Saw Blades, you'll find the Freud Diablo 14" Metal Cutting Blades. I've picked up 4 spares. All have been under $50, shipping included. They seem to work just as well as the blade that came with the saw.
On a sidenote, last fall I had to cut "a lot" of 2 x 1/4" galvanized strap to make backing plates (cheaper than $1.50 washers) for rebuilding my dock. Used the chop saw for that. Really made me appreciate the Porter Cable.

Shopping for Kitchen Basics
Guide To: Good stores for basic kitchen equipment
Marketplace Link: Cookware & Tools
This month, nearly 2,000 people have signed on for the Kitchen Cure, a back-to-basics process that's focused on making your kitchen cleaner, healthier, and more organized. As the Cure gathers steam, we thought we'd use this store guide to hone in on kitchen essentials (no gadgets here!) and where to buy them.
Amazon.com (Online): Amazon might not be as tangible as the mom n' pop shop on the corner, but their huge warehouses stock most mainstream kitchen brands, from All Clad to Zak Designs. You can find good deals that are sometimes a little less than brick-and-mortar stores.
Restaurant Supply Stores (Online and Offline): These are good places to shop for pots, pans, basic tools, cutlery and dishes. Many of them offer pretty much everything you'd need to outfit an entire kitchen. The key is to come prepared. Bring a list and don't allow yourself to be seduced by the racks of shiny knives and saucepans. For a pared-down guide to restaurant supply stores, click here.
Cast Iron Cookware Stores (Online and Offline): There are two cast iron pieces that we use on a weekly basis: our Lodge frying pan (which was cheap) and our Le Creuset Dutch oven (which was not). Cast iron cookware remains a long-time kitchen staple because it's durable, holds heat well, and can easily go from stove to table. For a brief shopping guide to cast-iron (both bare and enameled) click here.
Crate & Barrel and C&B Outlet (Various Locations/Online): Their stores are accessible, affordable, and they stock a lot of mid-range basics, which is why they're a leader when it comes to wedding registries. We've shopped there for dish racks, cookware starter sets, and small appliances.
IKEA (Various Locations/Online): Cheap, ubiquitous, and stylish, IKEA's kitchen section is full of both good options and products that are less than long-lasting. For a starter guide, see our roundup of best IKEA kitchen products.
Lodge (Online): Lodge is a good source for inexpensive, durable cast iron skillets. You can shop for Lodge skillets at their website or at places like Target, Wal-Mart, and camping supply stores.
SimpleHuman (Various Locations/Online): Their products are a little more expensive than you might pay elsewhere, but we really like the dish racks, which come with modular parts and 5-year warranties. You can buy them online or at dealer stores, like Bed, Bath & Beyond.
Whole Foods (Various Locations): We've found some useful kitchen tools while shopping the grocery aisles at Whole Foods, and the prices on cookware aren't as high as you might expect. We've bought colanders, sponges, and scrub-brushes there and we've been pretty happy with them.
Target (Various Locations/Online): They carry a lot of basic brands, like Lodge, SimpleHuman, and Bodum, and they're a good place to shop for things like coffee presses and tea kettles.
Knife Stores (Online and Offline): You can't get far in the kitchen without a knife. The most basic, multi-purpose version is probably a Chef's Knife that's kept nice and sharp. For a guide to good knife stores, click here.

Special deer permits and boating issues on agenda
TOPEKA – The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) has released a list of the legislative initiatives for the 2013 session. This year's agenda is less ambitious than last year's, and three of the four initiatives involve boating laws. The legislature may act on these proposals in whatever manner they choose, so this list and specifics of each proposal are subject to change during the legislative process.
Vessel Taxation
The highlight for this year is a follow-up to the constitutional amendment passed by voters in the November 2012 election that allows legislators to change the rate of taxation for vessels (boats and other watercraft). KDWPT will propose a bill that will gradually exempt vessels from taxation over a three-year period, beginning on January 1, 2014. The proposal calls for a tax rate based on 20 percent of a vessel's appraised value in 2014, 10 percent in 2015 and exempt for 2016 and thereafter. Currently, vessels are taxed based on 30 percent of appraised value.
Boating Under the Influence Time Period
Boating under the influence of alcohol (BUI) is an important safety issue. KDWPT will propose that the time period in which BUI testing can be done be changed to match that allowed for those for operating a motor vehicle. Current Kansas law makes it unlawful to operate any vessel with a blood or breath alcohol concentration of .08 at the time of or within two hours after operation. KDWPT will propose to change the time period during which testing can occur to three hours, the same as state law for motor vehicles on the roadways. The provision would become effective January 1, 2014.
Boater Education Requirements
Boater education is also important for safety on the water. Currently, any person who is at least 12 years old and born on or after January 1, 1989 must have boater education to operate a vessel without supervision. However, the current law exempts anyone 21 or older from the education requirement. The department will propose that legislators strike the over-21 exemption so that anyone 12 or older and born on or after January 1, 1989 would need boater education to operate a vessel without supervision. The provisions would become effective January 1, 2014.
"Wounded Warrior" Deer Permits
KDWPT has received numerous requests for special deer permits that could be issued to service-connected disabled combat veterans when special hunting opportunities become available. In response, KDWPT will propose to allow a certain number of deer permits to be issued to qualified disabled veterans who sustained injuries in combat, upon payment of the appropriate fees. The provisions of the bill would be effective upon publication in the Kansas Register.

Three Countries and Six Weeks Later and a World Has Opened Up
March 2, 2010
After spending a month travelling around Thailand, without a map, guidebook, plan or clue, not thinking about anything yet pondering everything at the same time, I have now arrived in Sydney, Australia, and am ready to re-join the (virtual) world.
Since my first blog post went out a few weeks ago lots of people have got in touch with me and within the space of 48 hours I literally went from feeling isolated and alone to feeling like one of many who potentially felt the same way. It was such a relief!
Before flying to Bangkok, I passed a week in London, where I met with some other magnets for the first time ever. The first one I met was Pete (all names changed), the negative pole in his marriage, who told me he had never spoken to anyone openly about his and his wife's situation. I think for both of us it was so empowering to realise that another shared similar experiences, fears and frustrations throughout the journey that comes with being confronted with HIV in this way. For example, following my husband's diagnosis I went into research-overdrive, trying to find out as much as I could and passing the info on to my husband. Unfortunately my husband's needs were different to mine and, understandably, he got quite fed up with me trying to 'force-feed' the info. Pete had been doing a similar thing with his wife who didn't appreciate it either.
I think we both realised in our discussion that we were trying to cope with our feelings of utter helplessness by arming ourselves with as much information as we could possibly gather. For me it was as if the more I could know about HIV, the more I could feel in control of it. Of course, since I was still an 'outsider' in this experience, this wasn't really enough and so, by sharing it (which seems like the logical thing to do), I attempted to make it a shared experience. But I was often frustrated to realise that my husband did not concur with this sentiment. In fact, he got quite irritated after some time, which baffled me.
Rachel, the second person I met in London and who is the positive partner in her relationship, made it very clear that she didn't appreciate her husband's efforts in this regard either. She made it very clear to me and her husband that she needed to deal with things in her own way, even if it meant not talking about it, not reading about it or discussing it. In fact, she looked me straight in the eye and said: "This whole mothering thing with constantly providing information and reminding about taking meds -- NOT COOL! Stop it!" So there. Duly noted.
As I am writing this I am in Sydney, Australia. Earlier today I met with someone from an NGO [nongovernmental organization] that also has a focus on families and serodiscordant couples as well. It was a very stimulating and interesting discussion, and it was good to hear how things are similar and different in Australia (plus I got some fab travel tips for South America as an added bonus).
This trip is bringing me into contact with lots of fascinating people and I am learning lots about them (and even more about me) every day.
Next up: One week Auckland, New Zealand, then a month in Argentina (feel free to get in touch!).

Medical needs easily met
Written by Kay Lutjemeyer, Gothenburg Friday, 11 January 2013 14:51
It has been a year since Bob and I moved back to our hometown, Gothenburg, and we are very happy we did. Not only did we find the right apartment to fulfill all our needs, but we were also close to our two girls. Another plus is living within walking distance to the hospital, doctors office and church.
Since being home, I have had some health problems and was pleasantly surprised to find a much improved hospital and very competent doctors and medical staff. I have had three procedures in the last few months and was so happy to be able to have all three done right here.
Gothenburg is a very blessed community to have such a great facility and competent doctors. Why would anyone go anywhere else when it is all available right here in our wonderful community?

This is the 3'-long tabletop marble game with electronic scoring, cheers, and flashing lights that challenges players to shoot marbles into a grid of scoring holes. Reminiscent of full-sized classic arcade models, one or two players launch eight marbles one-at-a-time using a spring-loaded pull-back lever that swivels left/right for optimal aim and control. Each marble travels 30" along a 6"-wide alley until deflecting up a curved ramp into a grid of scoring circles. Pairs of multicolored lights adjacent to the circles illuminate when a marble falls into the corresponding scoring hole, a simulated crowd cheers, and an automatic electronic scoreboard displays both players' scores and the number of the current ball in play. Balls recycle back to the launcher's hopper for the next player. Requires three C batteries. Ages 5 and up. 39" L x 6" W x 8 1/2" H. (4 lbs.)

WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate offices will begin receiving mail again on Monday, days after a Mississippi man was arrested on charges he sent ricin-laced letters addressed to President Barack Obama and a Mississippi senator.
In an email to Senate offices, Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer says that Senate mail will temporarily be screened at a House mail sorting facility but that all offices will start getting mail again on Monday.
Paul Kevin Curtis of Corinth, Miss. was charged this week with sending threatening letters containing ricin to Obama and Republican Sen. Roger Wicker. Authorities say he sent a third threatening letter to a Mississippi judge, though that letter is still being tested for the presence of ricin. Curtis has denied making the ricin and mailing the letters.
Gainer says the Senate's mail processing system — in his words — "worked precisely the way it was intended." Gainer is also emphasizing to Senate staff that they continue to follow protocols for opening mail.

Reader David passed along some old photos from the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers' locker room. In his email, he claimed that Don Zimmer's dick was fully visible. We decided to dig deeper into this Dodgers dick. Our findings: It's almost certainly not Zimmer's, though the mystery wang does belong to a baseball player.

NCSE's new website ExpelledExposed is experiencing high traffic and winning high praise.
www.ExpelledExposed.com finds new creationist "documentary" lacking accuracy on many levels
Oakland, California, April 15, 2008 -- Millions of dollars have been spent promoting Ben Stein's Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed to fundamentalist church groups, but that money would have been better spent on fact checkers. www.ExpelledExposed.com, a website launched today by the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), reveals the truth behind the creationist movie's misrepresentations.
In a statement issued on April 11, 2008, the Geological Society of London denounced young-earth creationism, "creation science," and "intelligent design" as "a trespass upon the domain of science," and described the great age of the earth, the great age of life on earth, and evolution by natural selection as "long established beyond doubt," adding, "Close study of the structure and organisation of living animals and plants clearly indicates their common ancestry, and the succession of forms

My Great Outdoors: Katie's Fresh Back Door Garden
Name: Katie of goodLife {eats}
Location: Rio Rancho, New Mexico
Type of space: Backyard Garden
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: I do so much cooking and love fresh veggies that we thought a garden project would be a great idea this year. We've had a fantastic time putting it together and tending it. I'm anxiously waiting to indulge in the fruits of our labor. We've planted asparagus, rhubarb, strawberries, green onions, sugar snap peas, lettuce seeds, basil, tarragon, dill, cilantro, parsley, blueberries, tomatoes, eggplant, bell peppers, jalapeno...I think that's it! I've harvested at least 60 sugar snap peas already and am enjoying having a great selection of fresh herbs just outside my back door.
How did you create it? We first had to clear away what seemed to be at least a ton of rocks on the side of our house. We had the gate moved to the edge of the wall to create a nice, large approx. 10x25 space. Our desert "soil" (if you can call it that) is quite sandy, so per the greenhouse's recommendation we worked about 12 bags of organic compost into our nutrient void sandy soil. I think we could have added at least 10 more. Probably next year! Our four-year old has had a magical time working in his way – planting seeds, learning names of new vegetables, shopping for plants, watering and dumping or daily collection into our DIY compost bin.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? I bought my plants and seeds at a variety of places: Alameda Greenhouse, Lowes, Target, and Home Depot. For those local to the Albuquerque, Corrales, Rio Rancho area in New Mexico - Alameda Greenhouse is very helpful and has a large selection.

Release Date: September 27, 2012
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The UB Marching Band will parade through the Hotel Lafayette lobby playing the UB fight song Friday night as the University at Buffalo Law School kicks off its 125th anniversary celebration with a 650-piece rolling blue-and-white cupcake display topped by giant sparklers.
The more than 700 people signed up for the unusual celebration will then mark the moment by singing "Happy Birthday" to honor the legacy of an institution that has educated generations of lawyers and changed the professional landscape of Western New York.
"We didn't want to have a formal black-tie dinner," says Ilene R. Fleischmann, vice dean for the Law School. "The party is all about having fun -- for alumni, students, faculty and friends of all ages."
Guests will start to arrive at 6 p.m., but the real action begins at 7:15 p.m. when the "Thunder of the East" UB Marching Band rocks the renovated hotel lobby at 391 Washington St. at Lafayette Square.
The rolling display of 750 school-color cupcakes arranged in a giant cake topped with sparklers will enter the main Marquis Ballroom shortly after 7:20 p.m.
There will then be a short ceremony at the stage of the main ballroom attended by UB President Satish K. Tripathi, Law School Dean Makau Mutua and UB Law Alumni Association President Brian Melber. UB Council Members Pamela D. Heilman and Christopher J. O'Brien, as well as the school's Dean's Advisory Council Chair Thomas E. Black Jr., are also expected to attend.
The group will sing the "Happy Birthday" song to the Law School about 7:40 p.m., according to the celebration schedule. The evening will also include live music by The Informers.
The party marks the start of a year-long celebration featuring social and scholarly events in Western New York and at the Law School's regional chapters throughout the nation. The anniversary weekend will include speed-dating-style career mentoring, the unveiling of the Law School's anniversary microsite at www.law.buffalo.edu/125.asp and several class reunions. Alumni are invited to audit classes on campus earlier in the day.
The Law School's initial class was held Oct. 3, 1887, during the first of former Buffalo Mayor Grover Cleveland's terms as U.S. President. Established by educators who saw the limitations of the apprenticeship model of legal training, the school has since educated more than 10,000 lawyers with a special focus on public interest work and innovative interdisciplinary scholarship. Law School officials estimate eight of 10 lawyers working in Western New York learned their craft at the UB Law School. Alumni can be found working throughout the U.S. and world.
For more information on the event, contact Amy Hayes Atkinson at firstname.lastname@example.com or (716) 861-2222.

A few years ago I put together a system to target new players while keeping the system free and open to regular RPers. I focused on simplicity and speed. The idea was to make a game simple enough that it could be casually played during lunch hour. I call it Simple System.
(I have the rules set up in a wiki format which helps to organize things.)
The System has gone through a lot of testing and revision and I'm pretty happy where it is, so I wanted to post it here for people to take a look at. Character creation really takes only about 2 to 5 minutes, which lets new players jump in quickly, even halfway through an already running game.
I also addressed a lot of elements of other systems that I always found lacking. Explanations of this I've separated out into an advanced reference for those interested in the thoughts behind the mechanics.
The system can be very combat heavy if the players want. I wanted to bring back the classic war-game feel to RPing that was there from the start. However there's a lot more focus on role playing. The rules really just exist to resolve combat. After that I leave it up to the players and the DM to focus a lot more on role playing.
The DM will have heavier reading than the players, but not much. There's about 9-10 pages of rules governing the rest of the game. Most rules are extremely simple and once you run through combat once, it will be a breeze.
I run game's often on OpenRPG, which I'll detail in a post in the appropriate forum. I take advantage of the easy dropping in of players and NPCs all the time. I find it helps me get out of my own way as a GM.

Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden, "Last Dance" (ECM)
There's a sense of both joy and sadness to "Last Dance," which surprisingly is the first album in pianist Keith Jarrett's illustrious nearly 50-year career to hit No. 1 on Billboard's traditional jazz chart.
"Last Dance" is drawn from the same informal 2007 sessions at Jarrett's home studio that reunited the pianist with bassist Charlie Haden for the first time in more than three decades and yielded the Grammy-nominated 2010 CD, "Jasmine."
The joy comes from hearing these two jazz masters in a relaxed, intimate setting, complementing, supporting and listening intensely to each other without wasting any notes.
The sadness comes from the realization that the album is this masterful duet's "last dance" together. Shortly after the release of "Jasmine," Haden suffered an onset of post-polio syndrome, which led to a hiatus from touring and recording; he died Friday from the prolonged illness. That gives an added poignancy to the three closing tracks, "Where Can I Go Without You," ''Every time We Say Goodbye" and "Goodbye"— two of which are alternate versions of takes heard on "Jasmine."
Jarrett and Haden each pushed jazz in new directions and shared a deep-rooted love of standards. On "Last Dance," they tenderly embrace such melodic ballads as Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin's "My Ship" and Rodgers and Hammerstein's "It Might As Well Be Spring." They also change pace by lightly swinging through "'Round Midnight" at a slightly faster tempo than Thelonious Monk's original version, and quicken the tempo even more on Bud Powell's bebop burner "Dance of the Infidels."

Holocaust education: a permanent exhibition in Auschwitz
An initiative to promote Holocaust education, UNESCO World Heritage sites of memory and documentary heritage is afoot in South Eastern Europe. At an international meeting in Sarajevo on 5 December, experts on Holocaust education and museum development from the region will discuss the creation of a permanent regional exhibition in the renovated ex-Yugoslav pavilion in the World Heritage site of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the German Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp (1940-1945) .
Part of the UNESCO initiative "Culture: a Bridge to Development", which seeks to promote creativity and cultural heritage as a powerful tool for sustainable development, the project reflects UNESCO's overall mission to promote holocaust education, as well as the role of museums as tools for intercultural understanding, research and dialogue.
This event follows a first meeting in June 2012 in Belgrade to build on the willingness expressed by all former Yugoslav Republics (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, and The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) not to divide the exhibition space of Pavilion 17, closed in 2009, and instead to prepare a joint permanent exhibition.
Participants at this second meeting will address the practical side of the renovation and define common approaches for the concept, themes, documentation and design of the joint exhibition. Experts from participating countries and institutions such as the Mémorial de la Shoah (France), Topography of Terror Foundation (Germany), National Fund for Victims of National Socialism (Austria), and the State Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau (Poland) will participate.
It is hoped that the renovated pavilion can influence and inspire similar initiatives in South Eastern Europe and beyond.

DIY Catering Part I: 5 Essential Tools under $50 for Low-Budget Film CateringTuesday, March 13th, 2012
As we take a short break from our Fresh Filmmakers interview series, I'd like to share some of my tips and tricks for catering even the most low-budget of film shoots. Preparing your own meals rather than hiring professional catering or eating out can mean BIG savings, not to mention healthier and more eco-friendly options. With a small investment in a few tools, this can also become a relatively easy thing to DIY.
Here are some essentials for the novice film set caterer (or micro-budget producer who is also caterer!) getting started:
—Hot Beverage Airpots–At just $15-25 each, these are worth their weight in gold; industrial quality ones with glass interiors will keep coffee and water piping hot for 8 hours. I use three on set (2 for coffee, one for water for making tea) for a crew of 10-15. These are easily purchased at a nice discount compared to online stores at most big box grocery outlets, such as Costco or Sam's Club.
—Crock Pot–Whether it's a soup-n-sandwich lunch, a roast dinner, or a hearty mac-n-cheese, crock pots make it easy to have a hot meal on even the most bare bones of sets/locations–all you need is a place to plug in! I recommend you get a big one; plan to spend between $30-50. For even more rugged shoots with no power source available, you can also consider a camping stove or single, kitchen-grade (portable) gas burner, combined with a large pot or skillet.
—Rolling Cooler–While I use reusable water bottles on set (more on this in a future post), a cooler is essential for toting sodas and perishable food items or cold meals. Do yourself (and your back) a favor and get one with wheels for about $50.
—Ziplocs, Post-It Labels & Sharpie–I find myself labeling bags of food for actors with special diets, repacking bulk food items into smaller containers to save money, etc. Also, after each shopping trip, I label all of the food in the fridge with the corresponding shoot day. This allows me to easily delegate food prep to other crew members or PAs on hectic shoot days.
—Camping-Size, Adjustable Folding Table –This miniature version of the traditional folding table will pack up easily in the backseat of a small car or standard size trunk and can easily turn a parking lot space into a craft services area. Budget about $50 for one of these online.
I will often open the hatchback trunk of my small SUV, instantly turning the trunk into ongoing coffee/beverage area and provide snacks (all-day) and meals (every 5-6 hours) available on the folding table. I use a combination of the rolling cooler and a few $10 Ikea folding chairs as seats when the location is too small, when all or part of the set is "hot" and food poses a continuity danger/problem, or when locations aren't able to accommodate our crew for this purpose. So, for a mere $150, you can ensure the ability to serve food on a film set most anywhere.
While craft services and good food might seems like a luxury for low and micro-budget filmmakers, I believe that providing quality food, beverages, and snacks on set keeps morale high–especially when folks aren't being paid. From a producing standpoint, there's simply no better cost-to-value line item in my budgets.
In upcoming installments, I'll share more ideas for making greener, healthier, and relatively inexpensive menu and catering choices. Stay tuned!

Hey folks,
I'm starting to venture into the whole portrait side of photography. Before, with digital and smaller formats, I simply took candid portraits or snap shots of friends and family and focused most of my photos towards landscapes. Now that I'm shooting with a 4x5 camera, I have this sudden urge to take portraits!
Currently, I've been using window lighting in my hallway. While the light coming through is actually very good, I'm just not getting enough light. My last photos were taken at 1/30th, f5.6 (shallow DOF!) with ISO 100 film.
I am looking at a powerful, but affordable strobe with a modifier (mostly likely an octabox). For the time being, I am only planning on using a single strobe with modifier and perhaps a large sheet of white foam board as a reflector. Cost is key, but I have around $500 to spend. I understand SOME of the limitations with using a single strobe, but I really feel like I can make do with what I have. Once I master a single strobe, I plan on adding another, but this won't be for a while.
So with that said, I am looking at an Alien Bee 1600 with their large 47" octabox. Whiel I'm planning on only shooting 1 to 2 people at a time, I am hoping that I will be able to shoot at least 4 with a single light as well.
Other than the strobe and modifier itself, what are some other things I will be needing to get started? I believe my Copal 0 shutter (150mm Sironar-S lens) has a flash sync port (is that what you call it?). Will the Alien Bee strobe be able to connect directly to the shutter? Or will I need some kind of remote trigger such as a Pocket Wizard?
Sorry for being so wordy, but I would appreciate all the help that I can get! Thanks!

Fred Kfoury, RIP: Big man with a big heart passesEDITORIAL
February 23. 2013 1:27AM
That Fred Kfoury, a New Hampshireman with such a huge heart, should die of an apparent heart attack seems particularly poignant. The suddeness of his death last week in Florida only added to the sadness for those who knew him and knew of his work.
Just to say "Fred Kfoury" would bring a smile to many, a positive and knowing nod of the head to others. Fred and his family built Central Paper Products in Manchester into a formidable business, despite the challenges that the supposed paperless society threw his way. He provided many jobs, and he did so with care and concern for his employees.
If there was a bigger booster of UNH and UNH athletics than Fred, we don't know him. He supported them with his heart (that word again), his presence, and his wallet.
He was also a lover of history, particularly of his family's, and he loved visiting the ancient homelands in Lebanon, whose constant troubles also bothered him.
Fred was a big supporter of the arts here in Manchester, and a big booster of local business, through the Chamber of Commerce and elsewhere.
