After a series of Django gigs in 2014, I had the urge to redevelop our company website in Django; I am very happy with the results.
This overview is roughly in order of development from start to finish. And since I am a "packaging guy", I will take this opportunity to comment on miscellaneous packaging issues too*.
The Pyramid version of aclark.net was almost two years old and needed an overhaul. Django appeared attractive because:
I typically hate using code generators, full stop. But somehow Django's
startproject and
startapp don't make me want to vomit. So I used them in an organic [1] way, to make some obnoxiously long package names, and I miraculously don't hate the results! This can only mean:
The idea of having to develop locally with Postgresql (or some other "real" database) feels "heavy" to me. With sqlite, I don't have to worry about database setup until I'm ready to worry about database setup [2].
I even pushed to Heroku with the sqlite database checked in, until I was ready to deploy Postgres. And I still use sqlite locally.
Sure Bootstrap is ubiquitious now, but it remains attractive nonetheless. One of the first tasks I performed was add
django-admin-bootstrapped to my
And because it's 2015, I Bower-installed Bootstrap and Fontawesome for my theme development.
Lately I've gotten into the habit of using good-ol' Make to automate various tasks [4]. This project was no exception:
curl -o latest.dump `heroku pgbackups:url`
git push
git push heroku master
heroku run python aclarknet/manage.py syncdb
git commit -a -m "Update"
I am literally annoyed by the figurative abomination that is Python packaging terminology. The proliferation of terms is understandable though because of the many layers of technology, each with its own terminology, that may or may not overlap:
And all of that was just so I could tell you I pip-installed the following:
-e aclarknet
On a related subject, why do I have a setup.py? I get the feeling that Django projects in the wild sometimes have one and sometimes don't. And the Django documentation has only a few mentions of setup.py. So why do I have one?
In short, because I want my code in
sys.path. I have another feeling that when Django projects/apps/etc don't have setup.py files, they are somehow manipulating sys.path manually to include themselves. There is slightly more mentioning of sys.path in Django's documentation, at least.
Anyway, I use setup.py because I'm familiar with setuptools.
Enough packaging rants, back to the rest of the Django story.
Every business website needs a contact form, right? And contact forms are tedious and boring to create, right? Yes and yes. That's why I thought using
django-contact-form would be a good idea. Unfortunately I ran into an issue I couldn't easily work around, so I gave up and made my own [5].
That's right. After adding an
ImageField I expected the image to be stored in the database and not the file system, and I'm not ashamed. Since that was not the case, I ended up using
django-cumulus [6].
Overall, this was a great experience. As such, I'm now considering another pythonpackages.com reboot with Django; to further exercise my Django chops and fullfill the packaging-automation-vision I've had since late 2011.
Please let me know your reaction to my experiences in the comments.
django-admin startproject aclarknet; cd aclarknet/aclarknet; django-admin startapp aclarknet
|Granted, the perceived heaviness is much worse than the actual burden of "real" database setup which is admittedly fairly trivial:
brew install postgres.
|The Django admin without Bootstrap reminds me of the ZMI without Bootstrap, which I also don't like.
|Embarrassingly, I create the tabs with
s/ /\t/ because my tabstop is set to 4 spaces. Maybe I should be change my tabstop setting each time?
|Something to do with Sendgrid integration, certainly not django-contact-form's fault!
|Which is another story. First I tried
django-storages only to discover Rackspace Cloud Files support moved to cumulus (or started in cumulus and moved back?) Then
django-cumulus almost worked but not quite. Rackspace Cloud Files returned a URL but upload failed. So I manually uploaded all the files to Rackspace Cloud Files as a workaround.

BROOKLYN ,OHIO - In recognition of a commitment to quality and an ongoing dedication to the learning and development of children, Brooklyn Pre School has received a Five-Star Step Up To Quality Award from the state of Ohio.
Whether we like it or not, the cold and snowy weather of Northeast Ohio is arriving. This inclement weather could dictate that the Brooklyn Schools are closed or delayed on that day. The Brooklyn City School District understands that the decision to close schools or implement a two-hour delayed start due to inclement weather or loss of utilities, has an enormous effect on all of our families. The following information may help you to better understand the process used when making the decision.
Program receives five stars through Step Up to Quality rating system.
Program featured in National Network of Partnership Practices annual publication.

Situated on the banks of the River Nile on the edge of the Nile Delta, Cairo is one of the largest cities in Africa. Built near the remains of the ancient Old Kingdom capital of Memphis, the modern capital is a colossal buzzing metropolis which is the world's centre of Arabic culture, music and art.
There are countless highlights and activities to see and do in Cairo, such as exploring the narrow cobbled streets and ancient churches of the Coptic Christian sector, visiting the Saladin-era Cairo citadel, and discover some fantastic art in the Museum of Islamic Art.
Whilst in Cairo, we take an unforgettable tour around the sites of Giza - these include the ruins of the Old Kingdom capital of Memphis, the ancient Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara (built all the way back in the 3rd Dynasty in approximately 2650 BCE), and the Red Pyramid of Sneferu at Dahshur (built in the 4th Dynasty between 2613 and 2589 BCE). This tour culminates in a visit to the world-famous icons of Ancient Egypt - the Great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx! Built as the tombs of the Pharoahs Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure between 2570 and 2510 BCE, the pyramids are truly a masterpiece of ancient engineering and ambition - the pyramid of Khufu was the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and is the only one that still stands today!
Another massive highlight of Cairo is a visit to the Egyptian Museum in the central Tahrir Square. The museum is one of the most incredibly well-stocked collections of ancient treasures in the world, and contains the horde of phenomenal art and gifts that were uncovered from the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, including the Pharoah's iconic blue and gold funerary mask. The museum also contains a fabulous collection of other artifacts and the mummies of several important Pharoahs, making a visit absolutely essential while you are in Cairo!

To prepare myself for my session Data Visualization Tips & Tricks, I read a few books. In this blog post, I'll give a short review for each one of them.
Information Dashboard Design
The essence of the book is on how to design dashboards properly. In the first chapter, you obviously get an introduction and a few examples of poorly designed dashboards. In the second chapter, Stephen defines the concept of a dashboard and the different variations that exist. For example: how does an operational dashboard look like in contrast with an analytical dashboard. The third chapter goes into detail about what you should not do when designing a dashboard by presenting 13 common mistakes. Chapter 4, one of the most interesting chapters delves into visual perception and explains what you can do to draw attention to certain parts of a dashboard. This involves a wee bit of psychology and worth knowing when designing dashboards.
Chapter 5 demonstrates the principle of eloquence through simplicity, or in other words: keep it simple stupid. It talks about how to reduce the "noise" in a dashboard so that only the important aspects remain. Chapter 6 gives an overview of available chart/display types and presents the bullet graph – invented by Stephen himself – which is a very efficient display medium. Chapter 7 talks about usability of your dashboards and chapter 8 brings it all together. In this final chapter Stephen gives a few examples of how to design a few command dashboards according to his vision. Here he also gives yet another few examples of very bad designed dashboards to illustrate his points.
I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who considers reading about data visualization in general. Every self-respecting BI professional should have read this book. The only criticism I can come up with is that the book focuses a lot on "the bad", or how not to do things. Perhaps a little bit more focus on how to design properly would have been welcome. But overall, a very great book. In August 2013 a second edition of the book should launch, and I definitely will keep my eye on that one.
SQLKover update: the second edition of the book has been released for quite some time now. It's a great book, although there's not that much new content but there are some improvements. However, if you want to read the book, definitely buy the second edition of course. The book cover depicted in this blog post is of the second edition. Also check out the other books written by Stephen Few. I mention them in the My Favourite Books blog post.
Data Visualization: a successful design process
The first chapter deals about the context of data visualizations and serves as a general introduction. Chapter 2 talks about setting the scope – or intent – of your visualization project and the different roles that exist in such a project. The 3rd chapter is about finding the right story (editorial focus) and explains the importance of preparing your data. Chapter 4 delves into various design choices, such as choosing the right visualization method and goes for example into detail about color usage. This chapter has quite some similarities with some chapters of Stephen Few's book. Chapter 5 gives a very extensive overview of different chart/visualization types. The final part, chapter 6, touches the concept of evaluating data visualizations and gives a whole bunch of links to designing tools, resources about data visualization et cetera.
It was a nice book to read and because of the process-based approach of the book it's something completely different then Information Dashboard Design. So it is very well worth the effort to read both books. My main criticism about this book is that it is not in color, which is a pity since it's about data visualization. Some examples were not clear as you could not make any distinction between the colors. Perhaps the e-book version is in color, but I haven't been able to look into that one, so it is probably worth checking out the e-book instead of the printed version.
SQLKover update: the author is working on a new book and I think it will be much better than this one (without Packt Publishing…). Also check out the author's website, definitely worth it.
Say it with Charts
The book is divided 4 large sections. The first section introduces you to charts. First it gives an example of a guy giving a presentation and of course doing everything wrong. It presents you with 5 basic chart types – pie chart, bar chart, column chart, line chart and dot chart – which are according to the book the only ones you'll ever need. A bit short-sighted, but probably due to the age of the book. With all the designer tools and computing power we have nowadays, there are certainly more chart types available which are also efficient in its communication.
The second section gives 80 examples of every possible combination of those 5 basic charts. This is very good introduction to people new to charts and it is also a good source for inspiration. The third section talks about concepts and metaphors and is in my opinion worthless. It's over 60 pages full of outdated sketches. For example on how to use arrows to symbolize process or interrelationships. Basically a lot of PowerPoint/Visio/Clip Art objects. This section was written in a time with no Internet so I get the idea, giving the people some inspiration, but it should've been thrown out in later editions. The last edition was published in 2001 and surely there was already some digital revolution going on. Speaking of, the last section goes into detail about the wonders that this revolution has given us. It was added in the latest edition and it is the only one in color. It talks about how computers simplify the development of visualizations and what powerful/beautiful creations can be made with all this new technology. However, it is already 12 years old and it looks – again – very outdated and to be honest, ugly as well. There are a few design errors which the other two books warn about. This section is in serious need of an update. It even talks about animation and gives examples, which is a bit pointless in a written medium such as a book.
Is this a bad book? No. Skipping the last two sections and focusing only on the first two, you got yourself a very nice introduction to charts. A very quick one as well, as this reduces the book to a mere 128 pages. There are also some exercises in this book (get out your pencil) to get you started about thinking how to use charts. Conclusion: still worth the read, even if it is just to laugh with the old technology ;).

Tom Clancy's team is back with a new installment to their list of gems, Ghost Recon Wildlands. There's no dominant response from the gamers if this indeed an anticipated title. Some have felt the burn from The Division and its poor ranking system, others from Siege and its lack of campaign. Where exactly does Wildlands fit in?
Ghost Recon Wildlands takes place in Bolivia where it has become overrun with production, smuggling and corruption led by the most feared man El Sueno. Sueno's cartel, known as Santa Blanca practically owns everyone and pays to be protected by the government, paying them to turn the other cheek on crime. All the while the system hoping it will protect their citizens.
Wildlands begin with you creating your operator which allows a bit more detailed customization in comparison to The Division. Select your gender, skin tone, eye color, outfit and much more. As for weapon loadouts, they are earned throughout gameplay.
Operation Kingslayer begins as your first mission as you help CIA's Karen Bowman take control of Bolivia and destabilize the Santa Blanca Cartel. And as the story progresses, sadly the repetitiveness kicks in faster than anticipated. While the campaign can be played solo, you genuinely feel the lack of support from the A.I, even when giving commands. It's not as involved based on level set as The Division, however, the lack of teamwork and communication pulls the thrill right out of the game.
As a reminder of Mafia III, Wildlands require you to infiltrate bases, kill the local boss; ultimately pulling out the underboss of each operation. And while this worked for 2K, it only soft of works for Ubisoft in perspective to single player. Co-op on the other hand is truly an impressive experience.
Others are able to seamlessly drop-in/drop-out of sessions which changes the tempo to have active players than A.I. Some type of communication is essential to fully enhancing gameplay, which I've experienced most cases with both friends and allies willing to squad.
Ghost Recon presents multiple ways to get around: cars, choppers and occasionally pointing a gun at civilians or aimlessly shooting. At times taking control of a chopper almost made me want to jump out and give up as it took forever to get across the over-sized map.

First application and it was horrible. Didn't stay on long. And when it got to the bottom note, I was so done. I felt like gagging. Terrible scent. I wouldn't even use it to clean up the stench in my bathroom. This was even worse than the Omni one that I had, and I didn't like Omni Coral that much.

The German forward reportedly has a £15million release clause in his contract that will come into effect in 2014, could Chelsea use this to try and broker a deal with Bayer Leverkusen this summer?
Although there are still a couple of months of the season to go, it is fair to say that plenty of Chelsea fans already have an eye on the summer, when they are hoping to not only address their need for a top class striker, but also replace the beleaguered Rafa Benitez.
Along with their pursuit of Falcao, there is a chance that Chelsea might go in for the 22 year old Germany international Andre Schurrle, who they have been linked with on several occasions in the past.
They might well have been aided in this pursuit by the reports in Germany that Schurrle has a £15million release clause that will come into effect in the summer of 2014.
Whilst this is still some time away, the figures that had already been mentioned with regards to his transfer were closer to £20million, and if Chelsea can use the fact that Leverkusen will shave to let Schurrle leave for £15m next year, they might be able to push through a deal this summer.
Despite only being 22, Schurrle has already played 22 times for the German national side, which is currently chock full of excellent young players. The Leverkusen forward can play either on the flank of an attack or through the centre, and his dribbling ability is superb.
Whilst he has not been prolific this season, contributing six goals and five assists in the Bundesliga Schurrle adds to his attacking threat with his tireless work rate pressuring the opposition defence and midfield.
Chelsea already have several excellent players in Schurrle's position, and he could end up competing with Eden Hazard for the left flank spot in their attack, but given the flexibility of their attacking midfielders it would not be difficult to see him incorporated into the side alongside Juan Mata and the Belgian.
Chelsea fans could be set for one of their most exciting summers yet, and if they bring in Falcao and Jose Mourinho then there will be no complaints if that is there only business before next season. However Andre Schurrle has the potential to be world class player, and if they have the option to bring him in this summer there it would be an almost equally fine signing for the Blues.

Targeting Millennials Through Experiential Marketing
Millennials are defined as young adults who were born between 1980 and 2000. They're the largest, most diverse generation in the U.S. population, and have massive spending power. Targeting Millennials through experiential marketing makes perfect sense -- they're loyal to brands, digitally savvy, and are avid event-goers. Here are some tips to consider when creating your Millennial-focused experiential strategy:
1. Stay away from traditional. Millennials hate ads! They don't like to be talked at, and they're extremely skilled at tuning out brands that attempt to market to them. Traditional event signage promoting a sales discount or reasons to purchase will not work when targeting millennials. They'll walk right by your booth. Instead, let them touch and experience your brand's offerings. Organically integrate your brand with an engaging game, contest, or giveaway. You can't tell Millennials how to feel about your brand; they want to make that discovery on their own.
2. Make it shareworthy. Integrating social media with an experiential marketing campaign creates an extremely powerful engagement platform. If Millennials like an activation component, they'll share it incessantly, enabling brand experiences to "live on" long after the event is over. Consider implementing socially shareable photo opps, fun hashtags, or unique contests. Just make sure to integrate your social strategy organically... Millennials hate being told what to do!
3. Stay authentic. Millennials feel that the brands they buy reflect their own style and personality. They want to connect with a brand rather than just admire its offerings. Train your Brand Ambassadors to be engaging, personable, and "real" while executing your experiential campaign. Millennials will appreciate an authentic relationship and feel more comfortable hearing about the brand's features and benefits once they've established trust with your brand rep. Personalizing your brand is key when connecting with Millennials.
4. Just ask! Showcase your product and ask Millennials for their opinion. They're sharp shooters and aren't too shy to provide their likes and dislikes. Not only will this help you tweak your brand's messaging, tone, or features, but Millennials will appreciate that you want their input. When it comes to experiential marketing, t's all about the connection!

If Sean gets those cam measurements, will it make it any easier to compare javad's product to the pricier stuff, be they catcams, scott j's program, or direct with Crane? Either way, I'm hip to everything else you've researched... Maybe one more year before funding that 529 plan... DC -------------------------- David A.

I worked with Javad on a GB of Rs2 caliper bracket..which I posted on here..$165 shipped from $225 not shipped. So Javads a very fair guy.

WESTBROOK, Conn. (WTNH) — He's a builder, an artist, a craftsman; Kris Connors runs a customs sculpture business and a three-dimensional sign business.
He went to school for art and taught as a high school art teacher for 12 years, while doing sculpture on the side.
He says his sculpture business kept growing year after year. He eventually left teaching to devote all of his time to sculpture.
"I have no regrets. I do not look back," said Connors.
As a kid, Connors says he enjoyed drawing and visual arts. He never thought he'd be doing art for a living. But it's in his heart, he says, and it's what he loves to do.
"I do this because I feel God's given me the capacity to do it. My life is very fulfilled."

Editor's Note: This will be Warren Miller's last column. Due to vision problems, Warren will no longer be writing his column. His new book will be released later this spring.
As you get older, there are a couple of days every year when your entire body cries out in pain. One is the day after your first day of skiing, especially your thighs. The other day is when that same body cries out in pain is after your first day of whatever summer sport is your favorite. Golf or windsurfing comes to mind.
I am about to end that pain forever with a simple, non-medical method of getting rid of all of those pains in 30 minutes. Yes, pain free in 30 minutes. Always have Rolaids handy for the day after muscle exercise. That's right, just chew up four Rolaids if you weigh 200 lbs. and three is enough if you weigh 150 lbs. or less.
"I have to again emphasize that I am not trained in anything medical and therefore don't recommend this medical mythology, but all I can say is that it saved my helicopter ski vacation."
How and why something this works I have no idea except a doctor friend of mine told me about it roughly 30 years ago. I could barely walk I was so sore but since he could not explain why it works I didn't try it. But a few years later when I was narrating my show live in the Opera House at Sun Valley, after almost 60 days on the road and in different hotel every night, and the first day of skiing newly under my belt, I could barely climb the steps to the stage. During a lull in my movie when I didn't have anything to say, I tried some Rolaids. Bingo, 30 minutes later I was pain free. I have no idea why it works anymore than I know where the white goes when the snow melts.
Let's talk about more serious pain and take a lesson from elderly trainers who take care of racehorses worth millions of dollars.
They use a clear liquid called DMSO when joints or cartilage are really sore. The first time I used it, I had some foot surgery and my left ski boot was extremely painful. I got some DMSO from a local vet in Hailey, Idaho, and applied it to my sore foot. It has what is called an osmotic property, which translates to a liquid that will pass from one cellular structure into another one by osmosis.
When you apply DMSO it passes from the outside of your flesh through your flesh and into your bloodstream. On the way, if there is any swelling or dirt between the skin and a vein or artery, DMSO will take it along with it on its journey through your body. (Some of those old-time trainers have pretty tobacco-stained fingers and that poison goes right into their systems, as well as the horses. Probably not good so be sure your hands are clean.)
Within a minute or two after you apply the DMSO, you will get a garlic taste in your mouth and know that it is working. I am not a doctor and I have to stress the importance of talking to a doctor before you use DMSO. But I figure no veterinarian is going to risk a million dollar horse and what is my body worth?
There is a substitute for DMSO that has the same osmotic molecule in its composition. Definitely do not use this one, but I can only say it worked like a champ and let me ski for a whole week on a Mike Wiegle helicopter trip in Canada.
I had a new pair of boots and by the end of the first day my feet hurt beyond usage. There was no vet in Blue River and so I took a chance and substituted DMSO with WD 40. That's right WD 40 has the same osmotic molecule in it that DMSO does. I bought a can of it at the local gas station and sprayed my feet after almost every helicopter ride. The only difference was that instead of the garlic taste in my mouth it tasted like fuel oil. Again I caution you not to do this.
The second afternoon one of the ladies was so sore she could not even get out of a chair to go to dinner. Her husband sprayed her thighs with WD 40 and 45 minutes later she was in the dining room dancing with her ski guide.
When I got back home in Manhattan Beach, I was telling the local hardware store owner about my discovery and he said, "Miller, get with the program. I coach a little league football team and the first thing I do every fall is give each one of my players a can of WD 40 so whenever they hurt they just spray the soreness and they can play in the next game."
I have to again emphasize that I am not trained in anything medical and therefore don't recommend this medical mythology, but all I can say is that it saved my helicopter ski vacation. Without it I would have had to sit in an expensive lodge for a week without skiing. In 20 years, the owner of the hardware store/coach has never had a problem with a bruised little league football player and the kids have saved a lot on medical bills.
A lot of them, however, do have bad breath from the diesel fuel taste in their mouth after a WD 40 spray job on a bruise.

P. aeruginosa Genotyping Kit 2
(item number: 245600096)
P. aeruginosa Genotyping Kit 2 allows genotypic characterisation of P. aeruginosa isolates for research and epidemiological applications. It is a quick and simple method for the DNA-based assignment of unknown P. aeruginosa isolates to phylogenetic lineages and thus it can be used to prove or to rule out identity of isolates, e.g., for epidemiological or infection control purposes and for population studies, RNA-free, unfragmented genomic DNA from pure and monoclonal P. aeruginosa colony material is amplified approximately 50-fold and internally labelled with biotin-11-dUTP using a linear amplification protocol. Resulting biotin labelled ssDNA is transferred and hybridised to DNA oligonucleotide microarrays with 99 probes for different genetic markers plus controls. The resulting typing data provide information for kinship analysis by assigning numerical codes to hybridisation patterns, that easily can be stored and compared to profiles of other isolates. Strain assignment using this information was described in detail by Wiehlmann et al. 2007, PNAS vol. 104 no. 19, p. 8101-8106
The array contains three different kinds of markers and each marker is represented by one or more probes:
- 16 markers for kinship analysis (represented in total by 36 different probes)
- 39 markers of the so called accessory genome (represented in total by 39 different probes) which may be used for the analysis of microevolutionary events
- 24 probes for internal control of the analytic process.

Goal Setting can be very stressful and even undesired by many people. There are so many reasons as to why people do not write goals — or even us the word, goals.
If you do not like goals, why not substitute the word with something that will resonate within you:
- Optimal Outcome
- Path
- Journey
- Destination
- Process
- Dream
- Idea
- Desired Results
Some people do not like any of these because they feel like it will set them up for failure and disappointment. They feel this way because a good goal is something that when you achieve it, it will blow your mind away. A good goal is something that you should not reach 100% of your desired results 100% of the time.
If you are always hitting 100% of your desired outcome, then your goal was not set high enough. There needs to be
- Struggle
- Failure
- Learnings
- Success
- Personal Growth
A great reference of success with your goal is to accomplish 90% of what your original goal was. By reaching 90% of the goal, you became a success and learned a lot along the way.
For example:
If your goal is to make $100,000 in a year — you succeeded at not only reaching your goal, but writing a good goal if you earn $90,000 in that year. Some people may already be making close to $100,000 in a year, so this goal would not be a good one. What number would stretch you? Making $250,000 a year?
My NLP Trainer, Dr. Matt James, set a goal of buying a new Mercedes Benz in full with no loans. He had the money, went to the dealership and ended up sitting there for hours because he did not dress the part. No salesman there gave him the time of day. When he left without even looking at one car, he saw a BMW dealership and figured he would just take a look.
Before he knew it, he was driving off the lot in a brand new BMW that he paid for in full. He did not hit 100% of his goal because his original goal was a Mercedes. He did not get the exact color he wanted either, he reached 90% of his original goal. How satisfied do you think he was? He loves his new car and will never buy anything other than a BMW again.
Writing the Big Goals
- When writing goals, you should use the SMART Goals Formula
- It should be something you truly want
- Your goal should inspire and motivate you
- The goal probably will scare you
- "Make the goal so big that when you achieve it, it will blow your mind." – W. Clement Stone
- To obtain your desired results, you will have to go outside your comfort zone
- If you are new to goal setting, start small — as in, 2 week goals — eventually you will be making 5 year goals
- Celebrate your daily success — every time you achieve something, congratulate yourself
- Plan out your daily action steps the night before to sleep easier and be more efficient
- Read them often — at minimum, right when you wake up and again before bed

Nokia is not going to get bogged down on the smartphone big clash. At LeWeb 2012 in Paris today, Nokia announced the launch of its entry level Winows Phone 8 handset, Lumia 620, which is the third of the Lumia range under Windows Phone 8.
The budget-friendly Lumia 620 has a 3.8 inch TFT screen ClearBlack display with a 800×480 WVGA resolution and packing a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 Plus processor, 512 MB RAM and 8 GB of internal storage, expandable by microSD (up to 64GB cards supported).
Sounds decent enough? I know your next query would be the camera. Lumia 620 flaunts a rear 5 MP shooter with LED flash and supporting a 720 video recording, while for self-shooting you got a VGA camera in the front.
True to the other Lumia siblings, Lumia 620 would also has range of connectivity options that includes WiFi or WCDMA 3G, with NFC and Bluetooth 3.0.
Nokia Lumia 620 is available in vibrant and attractive lime green, orange, magenta, yellow, cyan, white and black.
Estimated price of Lumia 620 is USD 249 and would be available in stores in January 2013 begining with Asian markets and then to Europe and Middle East and further. Though there is no word on US market yet.
For those who love personalization of their phones and most of us would love to don't we? Nokia has added up a "Dual-shot color" colored, transparent or translucent polycarbonate interchangeable shells in seven colors, which you can wrap on your Lumia 620 to zing it up!
Lumia 620 looks a promising and has almost everything that a first-time smartphone buyer would look for and at pocket friendly price tag it sure might grab a pie of the smartphone market that Nokia desperately wants to.
Next what? Lumia 520? Quiet possible but for now it is Lumia 620.

text: I posted somewhere yesterday about what I received from H for Christmas....a crockpot, 2 cookies sheets, 3 prs of panties and a leopard print cami (soooo random) and two shirts. I love all these things, I really do, but what I wanted from H was a Nook, the new ebook from Barnes & Nobles. It's all I wanted. I knew it was expensive and I even said, "If you can't get the Nook, the Sony is on sale at Target and I would love that just as much" - he smiled at me. You know, the way someone smiles at a simpleton. So, I was a bit disappointed yesterday, felt dejected and kept myself busy cleaning and doing laundry and fussing in the kitchen...while H played with his new Digi-Writer thingy, whatever it is. But eventually, I bucked up and put on my happy face and we hit up the movies (bad move - I am so sick I shouldn't have gone out!). But, I did send easy child a text at her dad's about my disappointment. Later I thought, "Oh, maybe H is getting it for me for my birthday on Sunday" and I sent easy child another text telling her nevermind, that I was just a big whiner (which I'm sure she agreed with). **I must insert here that I am really sick. I have walking penumonia. I've been taking mega doses of prednisone and that stuff makes me crazy - CRAZY. I hate prednisone!!!! Hate it! Took it my entire childhood (explains so much now). Also, the PMS is here. So, add that to my already gfgness, and well, you have a delusional crazy person. Today, my girls come home from their dad's and we exchange gifts. easy child hands me an envelope with an annoyed smirky look on her face. I open it. It's a picture of a Nook. OMG. They bought me a Nook, but they were waiting till the girlies were home before giving it to me. I turned to look at H and he smiled that smile, again, that you give to simpletons....like I'm mentally retarded. I swear it was there. I asked easy child, "So, did you roll your eyes when you got my text yesterday?" and she said, "Yeah, I turned to everyone and said, "Mom's flipping out"...meaning all of exh's family!!!! Eiyee. SO I GOT A NOOK!!!!!! I'm so excited. I don't get it until Jan 5th because it's backordered, but OMG. I am so excited. And, hello, my name is JoG and I am a difficult child.

Nigerians have been reacting to Buhari's revelation that former President Goodluck Jonathan left empty treasury for him. While some urged the new president to simply move on, others berated him for crying wolf…
'Nigeria has been broke for too long'
I am surprised that people are just learning that Nigeria is broke. Nigeria has been broke for too long. Many countries have infrastructure in place, workers salaries paid and yet some money in reserve.
Nigeria has zero infrastructure, salaries are owed and yet little or no money in reserve. There's no country that can be as corrupt as Nigeria for so many years without being broke.
'It is really a sad situation'
It reveals the carelessness, greediness and mismanagement of our leaders. If I may ask, what did they use the money to do? We don't have good roads, no infrastructure in place, there is so much insecurity and the power sector is down. It means the money went into their pockets. It is really a sad situation.
'I hope Buhari finds a way out of this'
It is almost unbelievable that a country as blessed as we are is broke as Buhari is claiming, to the point that the country's treasury is empty. How do you explain that? And this is on top the fact that we are in debt. It then means that the Jonathan government was not only clueless, but also wasteful for five years. I just hope Buhari finds a way out of this, because he has to. We need to start seeing the change they made noise about.
'It is really a sad thing'
It is really a sad thing. I want to believe Buhari and APC will come up with a way around it. I am thinking even that it may be exaggerated to make PDP really look bad, how can the country's purse be empty? I do not believe someone with the experience and competence of Okonjo-Iweala can oversee such reckless spending. Considering the economy has been in comatose for some time and oil prices have fallen globally, it is quite understandable.
'Let's give him a chance' -SENATOR NKECHI NWAOGU
I think we should give President Muhammadu Buhari enough time before we start judging him. He wouldn't have said he met empty treasury. He was speaking in metaphorical terms.
But then, Nigerian really have serious financial problem.
'Buhari is not ready to work'
I don't care what the Presidency say about our finances. But the truth is Buhari is yet not ready to work. Nigeria may not have enough money to execute all her projects but the potential to generate money is there for any serious government.
I insist Buhari is just giving lame excuses. He's not ready to work.
'Buhari should stop parambulating'
Inheriting an empty treasury is not a new thing as far as this country is concerned. No one would come in and say he met full treasury. So, President Buhari should stop lamenting. He was aware of the situation before assuming office. We all know there is a problem on ground.
So, what we need now is solution. He should stop parambulating. Nigerians don't like listening to excuses, we want results.
'Buhari should not let us down'
It's a pity that Buhari met a very dry economy. Everybody is aware that the past administration had performed woefully, and that's why we all voted for change. And he is everybody's hope. He should not let us down. We all pity him but it shouldn't be new to him. We expect him to hit the ground walking if he can't run.
No one expects Buhari to be crawling by now at all. He should begin to fight corruption transparently and bring back the country's glory. We pray God will help him.

Slim Pickens riding the bomb in 'Dr. Strangelove' - Credit: Wikimedia Commons
In his dress and mannerisms, Marvy bears a strong resemblance to Major T.J. "King" Kong, the character played by Slim Pickens in the 1964 film Dr. Strangelove.
Pickens, a veteran of Westerns, was hired after Peter Sellers, who played three other roles in the film, injured himself. Pickens was not told that the film was a comedy, and was urged to play his role seriously. The character's over the top, deranged nature is basically Pickens' ordinary style.
The character is most famous for his final moment, riding the nuclear bomb whilst whooping and waving his cowboy hat.

How 'SeenUnseen' has left a lasting effect on the Providence community
Photos by and courtesy of Rachael Cerrotti.
By: Rachael Cerrotti
Rachael Cerrotti is a Boston-based freelance photographer and writer, as well as a 2015 ivoh summit attendee. You can follow her on Twitter @RachaelCerrotti or Instagram @rachaelcerrotti.
On a warm September day, guided by the bright blue sky and the strong rays of sun, I navigated the narrow cobblestone streets of Providence, the capital city of the smallest state in this diverse country. I found a spot, parked my car, looked up, and was welcomed by the gentle stare of Thuan, a 65-year old Cambodian immigrant.
The short mattress covered in white sheets reminded me of the bed I slept on during my college years. The carpet was tan with a blue and green floral pattern sewn in. His white tank top, blue jeans, and sandals were, in color and casualness, not far from the outfit I was wearing. I felt like I was in his home, standing there, with an outstretched hand, eager to introduce myself.
This photograph felt personal.
Photographer Mary Beth Meehan's "SeenUnseen" work has now been a fixture of the Providence landscape for over a year. She was first featured by ivoh for this project in October of 2015. She thought the public art installation would come down at the end of July, but the community requested for it to remain an intimate part of downtown.
I met Meehan in Providence. She found me on the sidewalk staring up at the portrait of José and his granddaughter Albanery. We walked around town and she gave me a tour of the installation. Up until this point, I had only ever seen these photographs on my computer screen.
I asked Meehan how it felt to see these massive prints on the side of the buildings in the city she calls home. "If I let myself really take it in, it feels really huge," she said.
When Meehan began this project, it was personal — a way for her to practice her craft and to embrace the challenge of becoming intimate with strangers. Each portrait had a certain amount of spontaneity and a certain amount of planning.
"Part of it was planned. He knew I would be coming and making his portrait," Meehan explained of her method photographing Providence resident Wannton St. Louis. "In the case of Thuan, I went there to photograph his wife and I became more interested in him and I wasn't really sure why."
Meehan and I went from photograph to photograph, staring up at their 40-foot presence, taking them in, confronting them, admiring them. As life moved past quickly, cars, pedestrians, and teenagers on skateboards, the portrait stayed still, keeping our attention in a way that is unusual in such a busy world.
"We are always leading with our assumptions to propel ourselves through the day, but there is so much we don't know," Meehan said, refering to what these large-scale photographs remind us of. Many have responded to this work by posing the rhetorical questions: "Why don't I stop and talk to people? What is it that everyone is carrying around in them that we don't know?"
In yoga, there is a practice called drishti, which is a focused gaze. You can share this exercise with a partner, staring at their third eye, one of the chakras located in between the two eyebrows. If I stared at one of Meehan's portraits long enough, I felt this familiar sensation, the allowance of vulnerability with a stranger.
"It has really reaffirmed what photography can do," Meehan said. "The truth is, we don't stop and look people in the eye often. It is easy to choose not to. … What people are saying is that these huge pictures are reminding them of that. I think these micro openings over time have had an impact on the town."
With these portraits, Meehan has attempted to leave her editorial at home. During a 'walk and talk' last spring, Meehan repeatedly heard the words 'frank' and 'intimate' used in describing her work. The word that I kept using? Gentle.
After Meehan and I went our separate ways, I took my camera and returned to the portrait of Wannton. A woman named Jessan Dunn Otis snapped her own picture of me. From there, a conversation developed.
"I don't think I have seen this one," Otis said to me. "I usually go different routes so I am new to this fellow. What an honorable, proud, elegant demeanor. Just peaceful," she said of the portrait.
Otis is a self-employed writer and a published poet from Providence. In her description of Meehan's photograph, she took notice of the characteristics with which she identified. She noticed the big hands, similar to her husband's, and the slight smile, similar to her own. The silver hair, which she called stunning, reminded her of her grandfather.
I asked Otis what the portraits have done for the city. After an impassioned "oh my goodness," she said, "I have watched people stop dead in their tracks and say, isn't that beautiful! Is it real? Is it painted? They stop and talk about about it and actually have a conversation with the person they are walking with."
Meehan recognized that for many people, the power of this work is related to it being in the public realm without any curators. People have told her that Providence feels like a more humane place with them.
In November, Meehan began working on a similar project in Newnan a small town outside of Atlanta, Georgia; a community that has a deep history of racism and segregation. The town board member who invited her to do this work said, "We all live in in our own little bubbles and don't know one another, and we think your work can help burst those."
At this point, Meehan has spent two weeks there, meeting people, photographing and writing. Over the next year, she anticipates making at least another 3-4 trips with a goal of launching an installation of portraits in the city's downtown in the Spring 2018.
Meehan told ivoh, "It is a place with a fascinating history, and trying to look at that history — and present — through the lens of the people there is really exciting, and challenging."

For any of you who follow me on Instagram, it's pretty obvious that when I fall for a new cookbook, I fall hard. So you really shouldn't be surprised that I'm writing about another recipe from A Bird in the Hand. If anything, you should be surprised that I haven't been posting about one of Diana Henry's chicken recipes once or twice a week for the past month. I'm pretty enamored of chicken right now. And that's kind of a big deal, isn't it? When was the last time you got excited about chicken? [Read more...]
Roasted Pattypan Squash with Herbs and Feta
Is it just me, or is the internet a fickle pickle? Because I feel like last summer, it was all about telling me what do with with the abundance of zucchini and other summer squash I had at my disposal at the end of the summer. This year, it's pretty much radio-silence. Which is ok, I suppose. But there's still squash. Squash to be sliced and blanched and shredded. Squash to be baked and frozen and sautéed. A lot of squash. [Read more...]
Summer Vegetable Salad
This recipe might fall into the "duh" category. I should probably make that a thing on my recipe category side bar. This salad would be in there, along with this and this. You know- things that are so basic that you really don't need a recipe at all. But if there's anything that I've learned from reading other people's food blogs, it's that some of the things that seem barely worth mentioning to them have become some of my most favorite, tried and true, staple recipes. So while I sometimes shy away from posting recipes for things that seem mundane in my kitchen, I have to remind myself that for some people, it might be new and different and just what they needed to inspire their own spin on it.

Marinated Swordfish with Avocado Salsa
Like the completely inept food blogger that I am, I made this months and months ago and forgot to say a single silly little word about it. But I was looking over some photos just now, and found the images from when I made this, and was all, "Hey! I forgot about that! It was soooooo good!" [Read more...]
Beef Brisket Tacos
Ah, April. Or, as I like to call it, the month where all I want is for it to be July already so I can eat corn on the cob and cheeseburgers straight from the grill. In Chicago, we've seen an absolutely gorgeous April, with lots of sun and warm days. But also a whole lot of rain and chill… not exactly worthy of pretending it's mid-summer. So we bounce back and forth between soup and homemade bread weather and grilled meats and salad weather. That's ok with me. But let's not forget that there is one food that transcends the seasons: TACOS. [Read more...]

Hope everyone has had a FANTASTIC Australia Day!
It's not often I get a Saturday off, I am normally out every Saturday photographing some awesome wedding but when a finally do get a Saturday off I jump around in excitement.. the next Saturday I have off will be 12 Saturdays time, so I made sure this Saturday, especially been Australia Day was a day full of fun.
Here are some photos from what I go up to (stolen from Arlene's blog – photos by arlene)
I took my beautiful new 24mm along with me to arl's house so she could continue on with what we got up to the other day – can you guess which one I am?
We headed down to the beach for swims, when we came back we decided to see how many people we could fit in my paddling pool – it was a tight fit! Then we rode bikes on a 5km mission in the hot hot sun, then paid a taxi $60 to take me to another friends party on the completely other side of Perth, and went to sleep very late the following day. It was a awesome Australia Day! =)

Photo Walk Info
Greetings fellow Photo Walkers! I'm excited to say that we have a completely full house for our morning walk in Portsmouth, NH this saturday morning. Wow. Who knew? The afternoon walk is full too, which means we have over twice the turnout as we did last year. We may need to do 3 walks next year!
I did a little walk through yesterday to capture three key points for the walk. The first is our meeting place, which is the top floor of the Portsmouth Parking garage. Just keep going up until you see the sky and then make one more turn until you see the door with the number 5 on it (see below).
There should be plenty of room for parking and meeting up there, and not a bad view of the area. I plan to be there by 9 am, so if anyone wants to show up early and talk Lightroom please be my guest! We'll do a quick check-in, and off you go. We do not have to all stay together in a group, so feel free to head out as soon as you get there. I'm going to hang back to catch any stragglers.
For lunch we are going to split between the Portsmouth Gas Light:
And the Portsmouth Brewery:
These locations are right next door to each other and just around the corner from the parking garage. Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday. The weather doesn't look great, but I'm still holding out hope! Here is a map of our route.

I love the dude in front of the Gas Light, looks like "Why are you taking my picture?" LOL

|Master Yi's speed normally makes him a challenge,but your E can cut this out. Once your armour is built, he barely tickles. Also, if Yi is your jungle opponent, you can out sustain him.
Hi,everybody, and welcome to my first guide. I'm gonna walk you through my favourite jungle tank, Nunu! I don't see Nunu being played that often, but like Poppy, he is a surprising jungler.
As far as items go, you start with the basic jungling kit, which is Hunter's Machete, 2 Health Potions and any trinket. You want to build the machete into a Ranger's Trailblazer, for the faster clears, and you want to rush that into a Devourer's. Nunu is good with Mobility Boots, and I choose either Aclarity if my team is winning, or Homeguards if not. Your 3rd or 4th item should be Thornmail, because Nunu tends to gank better against melee champions. I also recommend Ravenous Hydra for faster clears and more sustain. A decent 5th item is the Guardian's Angel, if you are being a main player and initiator in team fights, although sometimes a Zz'Rot Portal can be useful if you want to help push towers. The final item I built was a Maw of Malmortius, for the magic resist and a final bit of damage. You may notice that I didn't use any AP items, and that's because Nunu's abilities are mainly ways of helping him catch up with enemy champions or escape. His abilities aren't his main damage dealers, except from Absolute Zero.
I use a pretty standard 21/9/0 for Nunu jungle, although I know in some cases a tankier set is required.
Skill Sequence
Skill sequence is basic as hell. I put a point into my Consume at lv.1, a point in my E at lv.2, Consume again at lv.3 and Blood Boil at lv.4. After that, I put a point in my Q whenever possible, and I level up my ultimate at lv.6,11 and 16. The reason I max my Consume first is that by lv.5, Nunu can take on camps without smite, and his Q is the reaosn for this, I do put a point into my E at lv.8, mainly because by lv.8 is when you can start pulling of some serious ganks.
Creeping / Jungling
Nunu can jungle without a leash really easily with Consume, but a leash will allow for even longer sustain. Start with a Blue Buff, not only for the mana regen, but because of Nunu's buff for using Consume on an elemental. Rushing a Ranger's Trailblazer with Devourer's allows for faster clears and extra damage. Once you've built a Ravenous Hydra, you can solo Dragon, so try to have a Hydra by lv.10. Never sell your jungling item, because Devourer's allows Nunu to take advantage of enemies with low magic resist.
Team Work
In team fights, Nunu can do one of two things. He can either stand towards the back of the team fight, slowing enemies and using Blood Boil on allies. Or he can initiate and then run out, then join back in with the Devourer's and Hydra helping him deal a lot of damage, and he can use his utimate to finish of a large group of enemies. Also, Nunu's ganks rely on having an ally, generally the one in lane, to take advantage of the slows.
Pros / Cons
Pros: Tanky and fast, so good ganks; high sustain in and out of jungle; can solo all jungle monsters except Baron
Cons: Has a problem against enemies with a more powerful slow; requires a good item or level lead for good ganks and counterganks; most effective items are very expensive.
So, a quick summary: Sustain as much as possible; use Devourer's as much as possible; armour up as much as possible; and remember, YOU ARE THE TANK. NO MATTER WHAT, YOU ARE THE TANK.
I would also like to thank you for reading my guide, and to comment any improvements and help, because this is my first guide, so I'm not quite sure about everything.
