Throughout The Car Industry
Love On Wheels
Love almost never makes sense. By rights, one of its defining characteristics is doing the illogical, or following the seemingly poor choice despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary ... And enjoying every minute of it. It is strange why we choose to love the things we do. Around Autoshopper.com, it's no surprise cars seem to be an undeniable source of pain, pleasure, love, and lust. But why do we love something that literally does not have the power to love us in return? If you love cars the way I or the other talented writers do, then you've undoubtedly come across a few of those OTHER kind of people. The ones that don't understand. The ones that don't love cars, and then question your choice to love something that to them, is just a means of conveyance. You've probably experienced the awkwardness of trying to explain why you love all things automotive. Sometimes, you might have almost even given in to the pressure and just thought they were right. That cars are just metal, plastic, wiring, and fabric of varying sorts all thrown together in a shape for the expressed purpose of transporting one or more people from one location to the next faster than a horse or on foot. Maybe they are right.
Or are they?
Maybe it's because we like going fast. Maybe it's because we like raw mechanical power. Maybe it's because we like moving, functional art. Whatever your own personal reason is, the fact is people love cars. I was wandering around the Lead East Auto Show this past weekend (The biggest 50s party in the NY, NJ, and PA area) with my family and couldn't help but be in awe of the history and passion that some of these men, women, and children all shared with me. It was a love that has been around for 50 or more years for some old timers, and their hearts were just as devoted as the first day they laid eyes on whatever car first raised their heart rate. It was amazing. You would never know there was a problem with the economy, or that gas prices were up about 1000% from the day some of these cars rolled off the line. Parents, grandparents, kids, and grandkids were all around enjoying the music, the shops, the shows, and, of course, the cars. Girlfriends asking boyfriends, and sons asking fathers about cars they had never seen before, or couldn't recognize with the absence of badging (This particular author/son was no exception.)
There was an enormous range of cars and owners all gathered and exemplifying their love in different ways. On one hand there were some guys that owned pristine 1957 Chevrolets and had large "Do not touch" signs on them. Always polishing, looking, rubbing, or buffing some small fingerprint or dust particle that only he could see. Huge engined rocket sleds, pumping out 730 horsepower out of a 6-71 blower on top of a crate motor V8 that made the trip on the back of a trailer, and in all likelihood will never see more road than a driveway. On the other hand there were guys who were laughing and leaning on $300,000 427 Cobras, while other guys drove their Model A Fords from hundreds of miles away through the craziness of the Metropolitan traffic just to put their prized possessions on display for all to see. It was incredibly interesting to see some of the model choices some people chose to sink thousands of dollars into rebuilding and making show worthy. Some, of course, made a lot of sense and were the traditional choices for restoration projects. Dozens of '57 Chevys were scattered in every corner of the time-warped hotel parking lot. Some were classic restoration projects, with original paint schemes, numbers matching 283 cubic inch engines, column-shifter three speed transmissions, and either alligator print or rolled interiors complete with bench seats. While others were quite obviously resto-mod projects designed for equal amounts of show and go. Huge supercharged motors, big slicks, Recaro bucket seats, slammed Corvette suspensions, and giant chrome wheels all sparkled in the warm Sunday sunshine. But there was also an old Mercury here or there with its trademark toothy grin, a Model A or two that was never too far from a huge-engined T-Bucket that looked like it belonged on the cover of a Beach Boys album.
There were equal showings of Ford and Chevy all across the parking lots. Corvettes ranging from '53-73 were out in force, as well as Mustangs (all fell into the '65-70 range) all laid claim to the eyes of passers-by. But there were also choices in car that seemed strange to me. A '55 Nomad (I never understood the station wagon turned hot rod motif), Ford Fairlanes (I don't get the draw here either), a 1956 Chevy (A year either way is an instant classic, and this model is destined to be called one or the other), and a host of other cars that have been handed thousands upon thousands of dollars in upgrades and parts, not to mention hours, days, and in most cases, years of dedication.
Although I might have disagreed with several choices some owners made in their choice of automobile, there was still one undeniable common thread. I might not ever be able to reconcile with the thought of restoring a 1956 Edsel, or a 1964 Fiat 1500GT, I can understand why these car-crazed folks showed up to show off their prized possessions. Why did they do it? They did it because they love their car. And even if we can never agree on what kind of car deserves one's love, it's okay because after all, love is a many splendored thing and never needs to be explained fully.

Chance Phelps was wearing his Saint Christopher medal when he was killed on Good Friday. Eight days later, I handed the medallion to his mother. I didn't know Chance before he died. Today, I miss him.
Over a year ago, I volunteered to escort the remains of Marines killed in Iraq should the need arise. The military provides a uniformed escort for all casualties to ensure they are delivered safely to the next of kin and are treated with dignity and respect along the way.
Thankfully, I hadn't been called on to be an escort since Operation Iraqi Freedom began.

There is a multitude of Children's Service practice models being used across the UK: reclaiming social work, restorative practice, signs of safety, the team around the relationship, the list goes on…
Some believe that Ofsted has a preferred choice but Eleanor Schooling, National Director, Social Care recently spoke out to debunk this myth. After being part of a panel at the National Learning Conference, in February, she made her experiences public.
The role of National Director, Social Care, has responsibility for leading on the design, delivery and review of Ofsted's improvement offer to local authorities. This role focuses upon those authorities that have received inadequate or requiring improvement ratings. Within a recent blog Eleanor wrote:
Perhaps I should start with some myth-busting. Ofsted has no preferred model of practice. We do not endorse one over another. What we look for, as in all areas of inspection, is the impact the model has on children's progress and experiences.
Buy in across the organisation is required
Within Ms. Schooling's blog she wrote about the variation in which some models are implemented:
We've found significant variation in how well some models are implemented. What is clear from inspection though is that any model used is more likely to be effective if a 'whole system' approach is taken to implementation, and staff are given significant support to use it from leaders at every level.
Having a model of practice that is understood and embedded across the whole local authority is a development that we absolutely welcome.
Essentially, the point that Ms. Schooling was making is that it doesn't matter which model you decide to implement, it matters that it comes from the top down. If the management at the top level does not embrace the new model, then it will be incredibly difficult for it to effectively permeate across the organisation and make a difference to those who need help.
Any action taken without the buy-in of senior management is essentially doomed to fail.
Whichever model you use, the focus is crucial
Eleanor Schooling's main point on her review of different models is that the impact of whatever model you choose needs to be positive. It needs to be in the best interest of the child. The model must not be focused on itself but the positive impact it has on the Child and family. If the Child and family need support to thrive then you need to ensure that your model provides an appropriate level of support at the right time.
Bandwidth is essential
Too often, the stress and workload that is placed upon Children's Services can cause robotic approaches. The benefits of whichever Social Care model is used are only realised when the professional is able to really understand the situation of each child and family and use their professional judgement to deliver the best support.
IT systems can help. Software supporting Social Care needs to be intelligent enough to fully support the process and reduce administration. The social worker needs to be focused on the children and families, understanding how they can support their strengths and support them to live better lives. Too much focus on admin and processes does not provide them with the right environment. Even the best professionals need the bandwidth to effectively use their professional judgement. Whichever model is used the focus must be on supporting the professionals to have the headspace to focus on real social work, otherwise under stress mistakes will happen.
Social Care is not an island
Within the report, Ms. Schooling, went on to speak about joint working.
In some LAs, there are still barriers to effective multi-agency working.
…risks to children and their families can be more easily missed if agencies that work with them are not involved in joint strategy discussions.
Modern technology must assist with multi-agency working. It must streamline the process of working between agencies, making the flow of information as easy as possible while protecting the security of sensitive information.
Collaborative working is essential. This is why technology supporting Children's Services must be able to support multi-agency working.
Technology must have both:
1: Open APIs to be able to seamlessly integrate
2: A sophisticated security model to enable joint working on the same application.
Modern technology also needs to work on any device and operating system, as you have no control over the devices your partners might be using.
Eclipse: Built to support better outcomes
Since day one OLM has maintained the firm belief that technology is an enabler of change. Technology can aid efficiency and give those in need more of a chance. We believe technology enables good Social Care to flourish. Regardless of whether it is Children's or Adults, technology can make the difference between a successful implementation of a model of practice: one that has a positive effect on transforming lives.
This is why we have invested millions in the first next-generation Social Care software: Eclipse
By embracing technology such as OLM's pioneering, Eclipse case management solution, your model of care receives the following benefits:
Responsive Design
You will be able to use the solution anytime, anywhere and on any device
If you can use Facebook, then you can use Eclipse, minimum training is required for the 'pick-up and go' solution, improving efficiency
The system should guide you through the process to support your model of working, reducing administration and provide you with the headspace to offer the best support to the child and family
Enhanced Security for Multi-Agency Working
Only those who should see the case, can see the case. Access is controlled right down to the case note level
New models of Social Care will come and go (or at the very least be enhanced over time). The IT system you use needs to be flexible enough to support this change. The tail should not wag the dog, modern technology like Eclipse supports the way you want to work
If you would like any additional information related to anything mentioned to how we can help support your transformation then please contact us today.

Is The Robert Durst "Confession" Admissible in Court?
- Details
- Written by Rogers Sheffield & Campbell
- Published: 24 March 2015
In the shooting of the final episode of a six-part HBO documentary about him, Mr. Robert Durst, heir to one of New York's highest profile real estate empires, said something very strange that was caught on mic. Mr. Durst seemed to have forgotten the microphone when he said to himself, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."
Mr. Durst has been followed closely by law enforcement since the disappearance of his wife in 1982, so this was an extraordinary thing for him to say. Was Mr. Durst's self-muttering a confession? If so, is it admissible in court? There are at least two considerations when contemplating the admissibility of Mr. Durst's alleged confession: Expectation of Privacy and Party Admission.
Expectation of Privacy-
Eleven states require the consent of every party to a phone call or conversation in order to make the recording lawful. These "two-party consent" laws have been adopted in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. Since California is a "two-party state," it is illegal to record a confidential conversation unless all parties to the conversation agree to be recorded. Conversations that are confidential include those where the party has a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Robert Durst was in a locked restroom. He clearly thought he was alone, therefore, he could reasonably argue that he had an expectation of privacy. This would make the recording inadmissible. On the other hand, Mr. Durst agreed to be recorded when he agreed to participate in the HBO documentary, and he knew about the microphone. When he put the microphone on, he no longer had an expectation of privacy. This will certainly play out in court.
Hearsay and Party Admissions-
Hearsay is a statement made out of court that is offered in court as evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted. Usually, hearsay cannot be admitted as evidence in court to prove truth. What Mr. Durst said would be considered hearsay, and so it normally would not be admitted to prove that he did what he said he did. There are, however, exceptions.
One of these exceptions is called party admissions. A party admission is any statement made which is offered as evidence against that party. In a nutshell, statements made by a party in a case, against the party's own interest, are not hearsay and may be admitted as evidence. Theoretically, a person would not make a statement against his own interest unless it was true. In this case, Robert Durst would not have said that he killed somebody if he had not. This will also play out in court.
Whether you follow law or not, this is a really fascinating case.

- Based on a recent research, people who consume beer experienced less possibility of Alzheimer's as well as dementia than patients who did not drink this.
- Beer is an excellent ally for overcoming tension. 2 glasses each day, according to specialists from the College of Montreal, can reduce the chance of anxiousness and work-related stress.
- Because of the abundance associated with vitamins, beer regenerates as well as revitalizes your skin and has an optimistic influence upon pigmentation. 1 bottle of beer each day will make your skin smoother, better, and you will appear much more youthful.
- Beer is ideal for people who are afflicted by insomnia since it has lactoflavin and nicotinic acid which improves the quality of rest and stimulates it.
- Beer reduces the chance of a heart attack. Specifically, people who consume beer frequently have 40 to 60 per cent less possibility of heart attack compared to people who do not.
- Beer stops the onset of bloodstream clots.
- Beer makes the bone tissue stronger as well as denser by using the silicon which it includes.

Extracts torn from forgotten books
Seekers of Lesser Known Historical Events
by Michael Byrne
Two friends met at a railway station. Barry Wilkes and Steve Park rendezvoused, as agreed between the large mural of Joan of Arc sneezing on a tulip and the picture of Abraham Lincoln biting the leg of his trousers. Needless to say this was not a conventional railway station.
Barry and Steve had been friends for many years and had recently been initiated into the secret organisation known as S.O.L.K.H.E or the Seekers of Lesser Known Historical Events. This group had an uncanny ability of seeking out and finding obscure events in the lives of famous historical figures. The railway station, which was only known to members of the S.O.L.K.H.E. was then used as a meeting point. The trains would send members to predetermined points in time to witness these obscure events take place.
Both Barry and Steve had been initiated on the same day. Several tests had to be passed and very specific criteria had to be met to become a member. Such as the fact that your father had to be or have been a member. Your father also had to know someone called Wilfert or Buxman (if he knew someone called Wilfert Buxman you would automatically jump to level five) and at some point in his life he had to have dipped his toothbrush into milk and thrown it at a badger.
The organisation was now over two hundred years old and in that time remained very clear on its stance on female members, they were allowed. However they had to pass all the same tests as the men and during the initiation the female members had to wear one white wellington and one blue sock. Because of recent attacks on several white wellington factories Andrea Bailey was the only female to be initiated in the same class as Barry and Steve, a fact that certainly did not escape the pair.
They had already held many conversations about how they hoped that Andrea would be on their first Timetrain. Steve had half-jokingly remarked how he was sick of looking at Barry already and how he would like something much prettier to look at. Andrea, at twenty eight, with long wavy blonde hair and large deep-blue eyes would certainly make the time go faster. The boys could not help but steal a glance or two at Andrea during the ceremonial song of their initiation and even wearing a white wellington and blue sock it failed to detract from her obvious beauty and somehow made her even more endearing.
As they had a few minutes to kill before their first briefing they challenged themselves to remember the ceremonial song they had sung six months before. They began:
'Oh inquisitive mind for times gone by
Leave no stone unturned for we must fly
Back through the ages and piece together the hints
The seekers of lesser known historical events
Let's not take a spaceship it's not invented yet
And for the same reason not a jumbo jet
We would have to wait until their creator invents
The seekers of lesser known historical events
We don't want to witness what's in books of history
Like the details involving the Jack the Ripper mystery
We would prefer to watch him eating some mints
The seekers of lesser known historical events
Unknown to the outside, just known within
We have only male members and also women
If a train disappears and you don't know where it went
It was us, we're the SOLKHE, an unknown fraternity, a secret society, an obscure variety
We're the seekers of lesser known historical events'.
Barry and Steve were a little too happy with themselves after completing the song successfully and excitedly made their way to the briefing that would pre-empt their first trip through time. The pair, being very much interested in astronomy had selected Neil Armstrong as their D.F. or Destination Focus. The event that they had chosen to witness was of course that day in 1969 when Neil Armstrong walked on a wet teabag in his socks.
It was two weeks after he had returned from the moon. The astronomer was sitting at the breakfast table having his supper when the incident took place. He had taken off his shoe to itch his foot when he heard the toast pop up. Being a stickler for the butter melting into the bread he hastily turned and hopped (as was his want) towards the counter landing directly on a teabag that had been dropped just moments before.
As the boys entered the briefing room they were greeted by the unmistakably enchanting face of Amanda Bailey.
'Hello boys', she began, in an almost playful way.
'Nice of you to join me', she continued with a slight smirk on her face.
Steve attempted a reply but nothing of substance came out:
'Well we thought..we didn't..how..do you…are you going on the–'
'Neil Armstrong walking on a wet teabag in his sock mission; indeed I am and if you two silly sods weren't so busy singing songs and holding hands and staring at the Lincoln Pants Bite painting we would be able to leave a lot sooner'.
'Well we have to wait for Captain Staples to brief us before we can do anything', came Steve's much more definite reply as he attempted to eradicate all traces of the shambles that was his first sentence.
'Yeah, the Staples brief, the mission detail, then the suit and boot', chimed Barry.
He sensed that Steve's last sentence was far more impressive than his first and did not want to afford him any sort of early advantage in the eyes of Amanda….those beautiful big blue eyes that-
Barry's daydream was cut short by the entrance of Captain Staples. A small tubby man with very tall greying hair. It was as if he had taken a hair straighteners to it but somehow managed to style it vertically in a desperate attempt to appear taller than he was. The three fledgling members of the SOLKHE had witnessed many amazing and inexplicable feats since being indoctrinated but few rivalled Captain Staples gravity-defying hair.
'Alright, what have we got here?' began Staples as he looked over the rim of his glasses.
'Oh look, a triumvirate, a triad, the triple, the tri-ang-le', continued Staples as he made the shape of a triangle with his forefinger.
'And the three of you are…lets see…aah lovely… the Neil Armstrong walking on a teabag. Brilliant choice if I do say so myself'.
'Now as this is your first trip it is important that you know exactly what you need to do. Essentially you are going to be looking through a window onto the event. You can see them, they can't see you. We are giving you five minutes which is plenty of time to witness an astronaut walk on a teabag.
Do not touch anything, do not sneeze, do not cough, do not make a sound! Your D.F. can hear you so it is imperative that you are silent. We are in full control of your carriage. When the five minutes are up we pull you back, any questions?
Barry started.
'What happens if we make noise?'
'Neil Armstrong hears you, putting the mission and our whole organisation in grave jeopardy. Any other questions?'
Amanda pressed Staples.
'But what if he does hear us? Is there any protocol that we should adhere to?'
'Yes. Don't let the first man on the moon hear you'! Now put on these', he said handing them each what looked like a pair of thick rimmed glasses attached to a swimming cap .
Barry put on his cap.
'Do we need these to see the event?'
'No, I just like how people look in them'.
'A-are you being sarcastic?'
'Of course not.'
All three now looked confused and asked in unison:
'Are you being sarcastic now?'
The manner in which Captain Staples replied still failed to clarify if he was speaking in legitimate terms.
Steve had had enough.
'Captain can you just tell us do we have to wear the cap/glasses combo to see the event or are you just asking us to wear them because you like them'?
'Well done team. You have passed the sarcastic test. Most teams would have only asked two questions in relation to sarcasm, you have asked three. Now your timetrain waits, step aboard.'
With a final stroke of his altitudinous hair Staples wished the team luck, turned on his heel and disappeared.
Barry, Steve and Amanda stepped into the carriage that would allow them to travel through time. They were abuzz with excitement as the realisation of their journey began to sink in. They were about to become members of an elite group of people. A path that very few people had tread, they would travel through the pages of history and witness an event that did not quite make those pages, they could not wait.
The train began to gradually rise in volume until it was almost unbearable. A white light engulfed the train and it began to speed through a tunnel of light with such velocity that the trio were pinned back in their seats. Steve held up the cap glasses.
'So doo wee have to wear this thing then or whaaaaaat'!!?
The others had no time to answer as they found themselves staring into Neil Armstrong's kitchen. Could this be? Were they actually in the year 1969 and observing the man who just a few weeks previously had only a few weeks to go before he would walk on a teabag. An event that the trio were now about to witness.
They all sat perfectly still and watched in wonder as the event unfolded. There in front of them sat Neil Armstrong, his wife and three kids.
The astronaut was casually reading the paper when his face winced slightly, he slipped off his shoe, the itch was taking place. This was it. The next thirty seconds seemed to move in slow motion. Mr. Armstrong's toast popped up, he immediately turned and hopped off his seat forgetting that his left shoe was lying helplessly under the table. It was on his second step that it happened, they ball of Armstrong's foot planted itself directly on a very soggy, recently dropped teabag. His sock would be wet, there would be no doubt about it.
'How could this happen?', he exclaimed.
'Where could it possible have come from'? I mean I just don't understand it'.
The three latest SOLKHE members looked on in awe. They had witnessed their favourite moment in history and looking at the clock they still had just over a minute of viewing time left.
Back in Neil Armstrong's kitchen his phone began to ring. He cleared his family out of the kitchen as this was a private call he had been waiting for from NASA. Limping now he made his way to the phone.
The observers were not aware that a phone call immediately followed the teabag incident but with a bit of luck they would garner even more information on this historic day. But how could it possibly top what just took place?
'Hello?', he began.
'Yes this is a secure line'.
'Yes it was on the dark side. Three hundred metres from the flag sir'.
'It was at least twice as big as our craft'.
'What do you mean it's been moved? How can that be?'
'It looks like we don't have a choice, we're going to have to get the SOLKHE involved in this'.
Had the time travellers heard right? Did Neil Armstrong not only know of the existence of their secret organisation but was also actively work with them? This threw everything they had been taught into question. Just exactly how powerful were the SOLHKE and how far did their influence stretch? They had certainly learned much more than they had ever imagined and they waited with baited breath to see what they would learn next but with a flash they were gone.

If you're new to photography or shopping around to buy a camera or lens it can be confusing decyphering all the names and acronyms that photographers use. It's not unusual on a shoot for me to ask my assistant to pass me an 11-16 2.8 DX whilst setting a flash 2 stops up from 1/64th and add a shoot-through… for example. When I do clients often remark that I'm speaking a foreign language.
So here it is. A list of some useful terms for understanding your equipment or the photographers you're working with if you're new to the field. It's not comprehensive but hopefully it is useful. If you can't find what you need just leave a comment with the term you need explaining and I'll add it to the list.
General terms
Body – The actual camera itself. This needs little explaining, except that a DSLR differs from an all-in-one by having interchangeable lenses.
SLR – Stands for Single Lens Reflex utilising a flip up mirror allowing you to frame your image through the viewfinder. The mirror flips down at the moment you press the shutter release to give the same exact view to your sensor.
Lens – Any means by which light enters the camera. This can be anything from a complex 22 optic telephoto to a simple hole in a flat lens cap, like a pinhole camera.
Full frame or 'FX – An SLR body with a sensor with the same area as 35mm film, typically 24x36mm. FX cameras are usually built for professional use. They are much more expensive than crop or 'DX' cameras and are the holy grail to most amateur photographers due to their excellent low light performance, large viewfinders and high cost. Lenses for FX must be specifically designed to use a large enough image circle to cover the sensor.
Crop or 'DX' – An SLR body with a smaller or 'cropped' sensor equivalent to APS-C sized film at 16x24mm. Most consumer cameras use this smaller size as it is cheaper an easier to produce. It also allows the body to be smaller and more portable but at the cost of poorer low light performance and smaller viewfinders. Lenses for DX are often much cheaper than for larger sensors. Because of the small sensor less glass can be used resulting in light, portable lenses. DX lenses project an image circle too small for full frame cameras so either don't work or suffer from heavy vignetting.
Crop factor – This describes the relationship between a 35mm sensor and the sensor in a DX camera and the resulting equivalent focus length. When a 20mm lens is mounted on a Nikon DX body it gives the same field of view as 30mm on a full frame, giving a 1.5 crop factor. 20mm x 1.5 = 30mm. Canon DX bodies have a 1.6 crop factor so would give a 32mm field of view. 20mm x 1.6 = 32mm.
Field of view – The arc describing how wide the view from a lens is in degrees. This is usually based on the focal length of a lens mounted on a full frame 35mm sensor. For example a 20mm lens has a field of view of 92.4 degrees, 50mm lens has a field of view of 46.4 degrees. a 105mm lens has a field of view of 23.1 degrees and so on. To put this in perspective, if you close one eye your field of view is approximately 95 degrees across. You can test this by holding your arms out at right angles and trying to see both of your hands with one eye closed.
Depth of field or 'DOF' – You'll hear this a lot. Photographers love to talk about DOF. It's the reason we're happy to spend hundreds to get the f1.4 lens rather than the f1.8. It describes how much (or how little) we can have in focus in our image. A large depth of field allows you to capture both the fore and background of an image in focus. A shallow depth of field allows you to isolate your subject in focus and throw your fore and backgrounds out of focus making them blurry. You can treat this as if a large depth of field (high f number) puts everything in focus. In fact, accurate focus is always a wafer thin 2D plane somewhere in your image. Everywhere else is either in acceptable focus or not.
The exposure triangle
No this is not an area of the Pacific where cameras go missing, but a name sometimes given to the three things you can change to vary an exposure.
Shutter speed – This is fairly obvious, it's the length of time the shutter is open for and your sensor is exposed to the image. Measured in increments of 1 second or in whole seconds.Typical speeds for freezing action might be as follows: Still subjects 1/60th of a second. People walking 1/125s. Sports 1/1000s.
Aperture – This is the element inside the lens, usually a 6 to 9 blade iris that opens and closes to allow more or less light through the lens. Aperture is typically measured on the F-stop scale and can be a little confusing at first. A large aperture lets in a lot of light and has a low f number such as f2.8. A small aperture lets in less light and has a high f number such as f22. Aperture is not only responsible for light input but also for depth of field, bokeh and chromatic aberration. Most lenses/cameras can change the aperture in 1/3, 1/2 or full f stops. The full stop scale looks like this: 1.4, 1.8, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22. These days a lens with an aperture of f2.8 or larger (smaller number) is considered 'fast'.
ISO – The sensitivity of your sensor to light, or more accurately the gain on the amplification of your sensor. Based on the old scale of film sensitivity. Low ISO settings yield the cleanest most detailed results. High ISO settings are used for darker conditions or to increase the shutter speed needed for capturing action. This performance is traded for detail as the higher ISO brings 'noise' into the image. Amateurs worry about noise way too much. It's almost always better to get a sharp noisy image than a clean blurry one. ISO performance depends on a number of factors. Technology is one for sure but photosite, or pixel size is the main contributor. Full frame cameras with relatively low megapixels offer very clean high ISO images due to their large pixels collecting a lot of light.
Lens types (when mounted on FX)
Ultra wide – Lenses in the region of 12-18mm. These lenses see a very wide angle of view and include fish eye optics. At the very wide end they are capable of a huge field of view. You have to be careful using lenses this wide as they can distort images considerably. Objects closest to the lens will appear huge in the frame where as everything else can look very small. If you're craving a super wide try to borrow or rent one first to see if it's really of use.
Wide – Lenses from 18-35mm Standard wide lenses. Great for street and architectural photography as well as groups with less distortion than ultrawides. Even fast aperture wide lenses tend to have a very large depth of field.
Normal – 35-85mm is considered a normal lens. A 50mm lens gives an equivalent view to the human eye in that the relationship between objects stays the same as when we look at them. 50mm 1.8 prime lenses are very popular as walkaround lenses for this reason. Snaps from a 'nifty fifty' just look right.
Short telephoto – 85-135mm lenses are the most common for portrait photography because the focal length coupled with a fast aperture gives a very shallow depth of field for flattering shots without distracting backgrounds.
Long telephoto – 135mm+ Used primarily for sports and nature photography but found in every photographers bag. Longer lenses are often slower (f5.6+) in consumer models so require a lot more light than wide lenses. They are also harder to hold still for longer shutter speeds so often have vibration reduction to help.
Macro – Designed to focus close up on small objects. A true macro lens has a 1:1 reproduction ratio meaning it can project objects at their actual size onto the image sensor.
Vibration reduction – VR (Nikon), IS (Canon), OS (Sigma), VC (Tamron). This technology allows the use of slower than normal shutter speed to get sharp shots by stabalising the image as it passes through the lens. Most work by sensing the movement of the image within the lens and correcting it with a floating lens element near the sensor. VR will not fix subject blur, only motion blur.
AF – Auto focus. Lenses will communicate with the camera and acquire focus when the shutter button is pressed.
IF – Internal focus lenses can go through their entire focus range without changing the length of the lens. This is better in all sorts of ways but primarily it means that the lens won't suck air or weather in as it focuses.
AFS, USM, HSM – These are Nikon, Canon and Sigmas acronyms for fast, accurate, silent focus motors within their lenses. Usually featuring on the more expensive models these are ideal for fast moving subjects or where silent operation is important.
ED , L Series – Nikon and Canons top end glass. These include 'Low dispersion' elements to minimise aberrations in the image. Lenses with ED or L elements are coveted by professionals and high budget amateurs.
There is lot's more to define but that's it for this post. More will be added so as always, if you have a questions just ask.

Mrs J worked her cookie-fu on this Splenda recipe. We had some sugared pecans left over from another project so she added a good cup of chopped nuts. She used a dough scoop to drop the mix onto a baking tray…… and tells me to say that the dough must be pressed flat-ish with your palm or it may not spread out right while baking. These were very good, better than many made with regular brown sugar.

STOCKTON - This isn't necessarily where Matt Spencer wanted to be this spring, but the Ports' slugger is hoping a strong start will get him to where he wants to be by summer.
STOCKTON - This isn't necessarily where Matt Spencer wanted to be this spring, but the Ports' slugger is hoping a strong start will get him to where he wants to be by summer.
Spencer would rather be in Double-A Midland or up the road at Triple-A Sacramento, but he's back in Stockton after a dominant 41 games here last season. A logjam in the Oakland Athletics' organization coming out of spring training prevented Spencer from moving up.
"I understood the decision," Spencer said. "There was a trickledown effect. I just try to do my best wherever I'm at."
Spencer went 2 for 5 with a three-run home run and five RBI on Wednesday, but it wasn't enough as the Ports fell to the Visalia Rawhide 11-8 before 1,804 fans on a chilly night at Stockton Ballpark.
Todd Johnson hit a three-run home run in the first inning for the Ports (4-16), but not much went right after that as the Rawhide (15-5) torched Stockton starter Scott Mitchinson for seven hits and six runs in 31/3 innings.
Spencer, 23, is hitting .263 after a 3 for 26 start and has a .333 average since with five home runs and 19 RBI. Spencer hit .331 with eight home runs and 27 RBI in 41 games in the California League last season after being acquired by the A's in the Joe Blanton trade to Philadelphia in July.
Stockton manager Aaron Nieckula said any player repeating a league can get frustrated and disappointed, but he's encouraged Spencer to focus on playing and letting everything else take care of itself.
"He has great potential, and he's a very good ballplayer," Nieckula said. "He's starting to figure out his strike zone and the mechanics of his swing."
Hitting coach Tim Garland said Spencer was more of a pull hitter last season, but he's hitting to all fields with more power this season.
"He's gotten better as a hitter," Garland said. "He's a future big leaguer. He's solid offensively and defensively."
Spencer has started 12 games at first base and seven games in the outfield. He said he likes playing both spots and is hopeful that versatility will help him move up in the A's organization.
Nieckula doesn't believe Spencer will have to wait for long if he keeps playing well.
"He's a guy the organization is certainly interested in," Nieckula said, "and if he puts up good numbers, he's a guy who'll probably move (up)."

When Do We Stand Up For What's Right In Medicine?
At what point do we begin to question the status quo? More importantly, when do we take decisive action against it?
Do we wait, like many people did in Germany before World War II, until their country was destroyed and millions of innocent people were killed? Do we only address the wrongs that personally affect our immediate comfort and happiness?
Or, like the American Indians, do we base our decisions on how they will affect the next seven generations?
There is something wrong with America today. Well, let's be honest, a lot of things are wrong. But perhaps no wrong shines through the shit so brightly as the wrongs perpetuated by the medical establishment.
Death by Medicine
According to the article Death by Medicine, authored by several medical doctors and PhDs, more than 700,000 people are estimated to be killed by allopathic medicine each year1.
The average American is prescribed 13 medications per year.
The number of children with cancer, obesity and developmental disorders are at record levels.
When do we start to question our current approach?
Many healthcare doctors follow the elementary method: You have a symptom? I have a drug.
Because of commercials, even children know which drug works for which symptoms. Indoctrinate 'em young, am I right? And the drugs that are advertised on these commercials tend to be the best sellers.
It begs the question: Who is the real doctor? The TV commercials? The drug companies?
This oversimplified, profit-driven approach has created a country full of sick people with chronic disease. Many Americans have become so indoctrinated by this mainstream media-fueled approach that they feel the only solution is increased levels of healthcare, drug consumption and suppression treatments.
But the TV commercials and drug companies do not have your best interest at heart. They are what's wrong with modern medicine.
Choosing the Right Path to Health
Here are your choices when it comes to your health:
- You can ignore symptoms of dysfunction as they arise and hope they don't get worse.
- You can suppress the symptoms of dysfunction with drugs, further increasing the stress on your body and hoping you don't get side effects.
- You can learn to heal yourself.
Obviously we're strong advocates of option number three. But the problem is the overabundance of misinformation out there: thousands of commercials, websites, and self-proclaimed health gurus have quick fixes they want to sell you.
But there is no quick fix when it comes to your health. The symptom suppression method we've all become so fond of is a flawed paradigm based in immense profits for a small number of people.
Instead of addressing the symptoms, we simply MUST address the CAUSE of the symptoms. And the cause of all symptoms and chronic disease is stress. The American Medical Association has stated publicly that 80% of all disease is caused by this stress.
The ONLY way to reduce this stress is with lifestyle and diet modifications.
A New System of Healthcare
So we propose a new system of healthcare, fueled not by profit but rather by common sense.
Our new system of healthcare is fueled by the knowledge that all symptoms are created by stress and removing the stress will allow the body to heal. The primary understood stressors are:
- Too much sugar and processed foods in the diet.
- Low digestive juices and the inability to break down our food.
- Intestinal pathogens like candida, parasites and molds.
- Structural imbalances and improper movement of the body.
- Imbalance in the fats in our diet and a deficiency of the fat soluble vitamins.
- Deficiencies of micronutrients like minerals and vitamins.
- Compromised detoxification systems.
- Toxic and suppressed emotions.
Once you've identified your individual causative stressors, then you can begin to follow an ancient formula that is proven to rapidly lower the cumulative stress in the body. This formula is called the Whole Body Health Formula.
You can go through this formula on your own for free, without ever stepping foot in a doctor's office. By doing this, you can begin to free yourself from the tyranny of drug-based medicine and chronic disease.
Are you ready to begin? Are you ready to stand up for what's right in medicine?

I had to put both days on here because I am a colossal idiot. You will see why in a sec...
Thanks to JD and BigJay, heard about Saxon Hill in Essex, VT. Got to the area at 10:00 with my brother. What I didn't know at the time was that if you follow one road, you will eventually find the parking area. Parked at the opening of a double track that I figured bled off into some single stuff. Rode for an hour and half in a small wooded section. Super disappointing. Around 11:45, I bumped into my brother again on the main paved road. He noticed a gravel trail that led straight down. Too steep and loose to ride, I hiked down it. Came to a swampy area that had a small bridge. Followed it for a bit, had to hike the bike over a massive section of fallen trees. Eventually, I saw bikers. Several of them. Wondering where they were going, the two of us spotted the single track.
I was able to get on it pretty easily from where I was. Apparently I had connected on Mid-Flo. Rode for another 45 minutes and then had to head back to the car. (Brothers dog was wasted) Turns out, if I had parked 500 feet south of where I was, I would have found the real riding.
The trails are super fast and fun. It is divided by a gravel road. On one side, it is all intermediate and beginner single track. Not much for hills or obstacles, it is fast and amazingly smooth. The flow is incredible. If you have some legs on you, you can really burn through it. On the other side is where all the tech stuff is.
Sunday 9/6 I got up and to the trail head (at the right parking lot this time) by 11. Started by doing the high speed mid-flo to the beginner section of paper route. Fast and fun. Pretty busy. The trails border a reservoir and get close to the edge a few times. There is a cool log bridge that I got a shot of. When I get home tonight I will upload a picture or two.
After an hour on that side, I crossed the road to Flo, the intermediate section that started with a climb. There was a new beginner track called Extension that had just been burned in. It isn't on the trail maps yet. I took it. Very fun. Fast with some smaller climbs but some fun downhill. It loops back to Flo. Took Flo back past the connection and kept climbing. One section or so really kicked my butt. Rocky and steep. The descent was RAD. Several bridges and very tight turns. A couple rollers. Followed it to the end. Turns out, somewhere I missed the Advanced stuff. Bummer. Rode for another 40 minutes. Checked out OM, an intermediate trail on the same side as all the tech stuff. Fun, flowing, and not overly long. There were a couple man-made features here. Nothing too gnarly but narrow enough that I couldnt make it.
Overall, killer two days. Glad I persevered on Saturday and found the fun stuff. Only downside is that it can get pretty crowded. By the time I left Saturday, the lot was full. Some of the turns are very fast and, if someone is riding the opposite way, bad things can happen. You can't see around a bunch of them. A mother and her daughter made one corner really really fast and almost took me out. (I was going along pretty fast too)
Highly recommend it. Hopefully I will get back to Burlington again in the fall and will ride there a few more times. Fun stuff. I will post pics later.
Glad you like it!
I was worried when you posted earlier that you didn't find the trail... It's pretty much halfway between Essex and Jericho as you get on the road towards Jericho...
Can't wait to see your pics!

I just put my iPod on shuffle and came up with the idea of putting up a post on the 1st 10 songs that it plays (20 seemed a bit to much to come up with reasons as to why they were on my iPod), and maybe why the song is on my iPod (I will even add the cheesy ones), so here goes:-
Under the Moon of Love - Shawaddywaddy
- I grew up with my mum listening to bands that were big during her day and Shawaddywaddy was one of them, and with the song being in Lesbian Vampire Killers during the end credits, its a great song.
Made to Measure - The Hoosiers
- I love The Hoosiers, and this is from their latest album (at the time I bought it was called Illusion of Safety, but has been reissued as Bumpy Ride)
Come Dig Me Out - Kelly Osbourne
- From Kelly Osbourne's first album 'Shut Up', a really good song and I will admit (even though I might get things thrown at me) not a bad album.
Girl You Know It's True - Milli Vanilli
- My sister had a Milli Vanilli album on vinyl and the song is their most well known and it's a good song
Carousel - The Bishops
- This is a really good song from a reasonably unknown band (known to a few), from their first album 'The Bishops' (I have added a link if you want to check them out
When We Are Together - Texas
- You can't beat a bit of Sharleen Spiterri, Texas are a great band from the 90's and this song is just a great pop song.
Flat Beat - Mr Oizo
- This song was released when I was at secondary school and is best known from the Levi's adverts and the puppet Flat Eric, it also reminds me, of me and my old schoolfriend doing the head banging bit to the fast beats in the song. Good memories.
Waterfalls - TLC
- This is a brilliant song from TLC, it's so poignant, and talks of major issues.
This Is The Last Time - Keane
- This is a great song from Keane, and from a good album
Trouble Sleeping - Corinne Bailey Rae
- I love this song, I find it such a great song and related to the lyrics, about not wanting to believe that I was falling in love.
Thanks for tuning in

Anyone who's worked on a database knows that it's a Bad Thing to duplicate information in such a way as to require (or permit) updates in different places for the same information. There's a DB term for this ... normalization?One reason this is a Bad Thing is (as experience has taught us): if there are two places to update something, sometime somewhere someone will update one, and not the other - what began as two identical copies will diverge over time.Redundancy (defined as duplication of information in two or more distinct places) can be protective: one might back up a database, for example, or one might store a checksum somewhere.The whole point of hypertext is to permit references to be constructed and copied, to permit hyperlinking instead of quoting. It therefore never makes sense to duplicate information for the purpose of referring to it.One virtue of Wiki is that it enables full-text searching, a.k.a. "keyword in context" searching. So a Wiki partakes of some of the virtues of a document (editing) and some of the virtues of a DB (searching.) This is a [Good Thing]. This is why Wiki is useful as a collaborative space and as a repository.The recurrent desire to construct encyclopaedic indices of cluelessness, most recently expressed in [Call for suggestions for presentation of Tcl Apps] is a form of duplication: duplication of search results. Someone constructs a plausible search, captures it to a page, and makes an index out of it.Publishing pre-digested searches on this wiki is bad, for several reasons:
- the constructed/captured searches are an out of date snapshot.
- they occupy space in the title space of pages
- they compete with the primary materials for searches.
- they necessarily duplicate information in different places.
- they carry with them a hermeneutics, which they tend to reify, and whose privileged expression tends (for reasons 1-4) to drown out other voices.
- The search facility of this wiki is not as powerful as it could be.
- An index that is built rather than being captured from a search could add value to the Wiki rather than adding noise.
- I don't agree that a taxonomic set of indices is equivalent to a pre-digested index.
- As compilations are recognized as legitimate original works, so a taxonomic structure might be an original work of some worth.
- if the search is weak, fix the search, don't write around it.
- if you are arguing that it is possible to build a valuable index, I agree. Such an index would have to have a lot of original content compared to its merely/purely referential content. As such, it would resemble a link-rich page. That is not what we're seeing in these -Index pages.
- any taxonomy represents some pre-selection, some hermeneutics, which by analogy is pre-digestion, in that it processes/selects/strucures information before the reader can critically review it. Again, it could be done with style and quality - it's just not.
- absolutely - deriving a taxonomy is a useful work ... a lot of work. What I'm seeing is people banging what's not much more than screen caps of searches up on the wiki, calling them indices, and leaving it at that.
wdb If I see in this wiki a page named "Index Apps", I trustfully expect apps. Everybody agrees about what an application is. If I see a page named "Index Apps Geography", my trust dies down. I will not try to explain why. Just a feeling. I am not annoyed about its existence, I just ignore it. Not my way.The electrically-generated lists of related pages in this wiki are fine. The list is phone-book-like, but I never had the ambition to read one from top to bottom. I always took it and looked it up alphabetically (on paper) or by some smart search function (on HTML).(Btw, have you ever seen the movie [Rain Man] with Dusty Hoffmann? Dusty --- the rain man --- sees the name sign of the waitress and says her phone nr. His brother asks him: heave you read the whole phone book? Dusty says: No. Just until "K".)
MSH - I've been using [TiddlyWiki:][2] for about a month and have found a macro ForEachTiddly which automatically generates lists of pages/tiddlys which have certain attributes, when this is combined with the use of tags for the page contents it allows lists of all pages which are tagged with TK && Application, this gives dynamic indexes where the information is as jcw says One fact in one place. Was it ever considered adding tags to these wiki pages, these are relativly simple to handle but give a powerful index access.
LV, MSH, how would conceptually, adding tags provide different functionality than adding categories?I use http://del.icio.us/ occasionally to store interesting URLs. The tagging there is interesting, but the main benefit for tagging that _I_ can see, over this wiki's auto index generation, is the potential for narrowing or broadening a search by use of tags - the ability to specify multiple terms and getting more relevant hits.I think that, rather than adding yet another indexing mechanism, if one of you wanted to look into improving the wiki experience, you might look into expanding the search functionality. Adding the ability to perform "and" and "or" type searches, so one might say "Category Application" and ("Category Science" or "Category Physics") would be useful. And of course, as jcw has indicated, one can do more sophisticated searches by making use of google's search language, so the features you propose to add should attempt to provide some sort of benefit over google.

alove 29-may-2007 This reminds me of the Desktop Search problem, in which Apple, Microsoft, etc. originally had grand plans about doing comprehensive searches on your desktop. The problem they ultimately had to face is, most of the data on your computer isn't "tagged" as being in a particular category, so the best you can do is search for words and phrases and hope it pulls up relevant data. File formats only take you so far.Ideally, whenever a person created a document or program, they would tag it for all the relevant categories in a standard way (as libraries do with books, only in more detail) and then data search would be more accurate and predictable. Unfortunately there is no standard set of categories. All you can really hope for on this wiki is that people will create relevant page titles like "Canvas image capture problem" instead of "I can't get this to work..." and then tag the article to a category. Then the wiki automatically pulls it up under that category and there is no duplication.So the only thing I would suggest is, when creating a new page, there could be a reminder notice to "choose a good title" and also a required field to "select a category" for the page. But let me just add, I think this wiki is pretty awesome. ^_^DKF: It took years and a huge amount of work by bright people to make searching of the Web viable, and it turned out that the key thing was all the links. Desktop searching is more difficult because there are far fewer links (often none at all) so the relevance of individual documents is harder to compute. Something like SQLite's FTS (Full Text Search) engine goes a long way, but relevance ranking remains a Hard AI Problem.In terms of the Wiki, one good thing to do (and LWV does this a lot) is to look at pages from time to time and to work out what categories they should be in. When you do this, you can do as few or as many as you want; you don't have to boil the ocean, just make enough for a cup of tea. :-)[Harm Olthof] Slowly new and simple methods do emerge, based on solid concepts from information theory, the current size of the Google index and the fact that all what we put in files is (also) a reflection from our history, education, cultural background, etc as human beings. Have a look how to take advantage of that at [3].

250 Reasons to go to Sears Dixie Invitational Art Show
The 28th Annual Sears Dixie Invitational Art Show, an eagerly anticipated opportunity to view more than 250 works created by 130 artists reflecting their love of the red rock country side, as well as still life and figures in oils, watercolor, pastels, and acrylics. The biggest art event in the entire state of Utah will also feature incredible one-of-a-kind ceramics and sculpture in bronze and glass.
The show opens to the public at the Delores Doré Eccles Fine Arts Center on the campus of Dixie State University on Saturday, February 14 and runs for 6-weeks through March 29, 2015. Open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 2 – 6 p.m., the show is free to all art enthusiasts.
The goal of the event is three-fold: It provides art lovers an avenue for purchasing exquisite art for their own collection; supports the addition of art to DSU's permanent collection; and, is a venue for educating university students and the public.
Named for the late Robert N. and Peggy Sears who, like so many others, retired to Southern Utah in the 1980's only to discover a lack of a thriving art community. While they loved the scenery and their friendly neighbors, they missed big city culture, so offered their time and resources to create an event which would become pivotal to bringing art and artists to the St. George area.
Of course, nothing can take the place of the view out the window of your St. George Resort Rental, but a visit to the Eccles Fine Arts Center will give you a different perspective through the eyes of world-renowned artisans. Complete the form on this page for a weeks' stay in a luxurious condo overlooking the spectacular beauty of red rock country.

Lichen planus
dermapics.com ... illustrating dermatology
Lichen planus: a short introduction.
What is lichen planus?
Lichen planus is a common skin disease. The cause of lichen planus is not exactly known but it may be due to activation of the immune system provoked by a drug or viral infection. It may affect any area of the skin and mucosa.
Symptoms of lichen planus
Lichen planus in its most characteristic form presents with very itchy, flat-topped, skin-coloured to purple papules. They range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. They can be clustered or widespread. Typically they are crossed with fine white lines called 'Wickham's striae'. Although they can arise anywhere on the skin they are most often seen on the wrists and ankles. Other specific areas are the lower back, the mouth and the penis.
Diagnosis of lichen planus
In most cases of lichen planus of the skin the experienced dermatologist is able to diagnose lichen planus without additional tests. When in doubt the doctor will perform a skin biopsy procedure. Laboratory tests on viral infections (hepatitis) may be performed.
Lichen planus often responds well to topical steroids. In severe cases systemic steroids such as prednisolon can be prescribed. Other treatments include phototherapy and acitretin. In the majority of cases lichen planus will fade away in. This process, however, can take months to be completed.
