I always find starting a blog post is the hardest part of actually keeping up a blog, finding a theme, setting up your social links and adding pictures is the fun bit. But actually sitting down and thinking of something to say is a completely different thing.
I have quite a few people who say to me they'd love to start a blog but they just don't know what to blog about, truth is, neither do i.
Blogging is half about having a passion and talent for writing and half about building up the confidence to actually share yourself online. You could write a fantastic blog piece about 'All the reasons kale is good for you' or 'How to become a 'girl boss' in ten days,' the typical kind of blog post you're likely to see get thousands of hits but is it personal? Unless that person is a kale farmer or really is making thousands in a few days, then no it isn't.
So should you make a blog that's personal and bare all to the world or should you stick to the generic 'popular' posts? I realise I am being very hypocritical here because I, like many others, find myself slipping into the cliché stereotypical blogging category a lot of the time (and probably with this post). But blogging should be a passion, it should be something you are proud of and can happily say 'I wrote this' or 'I made this' 'I took this photo' and people to look at it and know that that is truly you.
Trouble is, in the past few months blogging has become a phenomenally large, saturated, hobby, with hundreds of thousands of people competing for a space on the popular page. Because of this competitiveness the lesser known blogs are pushed under the carpet and just like everything else in society, the blogger behind the page begins to try to conform just to get noticed.
Do we not teach people to be themselves and be honest no matter what other people think? Do we not teach people that looks don't matter? That we should be individuals?
So why is their post not good enough to get the attention?
Whether you are working on an old school hot pink flip Motorola (always wanted that phone) or a brand new Olympic pen. Or if you walk around with a rucksack of different lenses and a camera that weighs more than your entire body, every single individual puts time and effort into the content they create.
It's not a secret that I know nothing about photography, but the photos I take I try just as hard to make them look aesthetically pleasing as a professional would do. Sometimes I am lucky enough to get to pick the brains of Hayley and learn a bit more about taking high quality images but a lot of the time my content is mediocre.
It's also no secret that I have the academic level of a goldfish and sometimes can't seem to even get my words in the right order before a large cup of tea in the morning, but when I sit and write a post I put myself into it, grammatical errors and all.
The problem is however, in the last few months I put all this effort in and I don't get anything out of it. Instead I see more and more beautifully taken photos by hired photographers in luxurious backgrounds surrounded by the biggest fruit spread dominating the popular page leading to a blog post on……. 'How to gain 100k followers by just being you.' But you read the post, you see the photo and it is completely hypocritical. You're telling people to hire a photographer, is that being you? You're saying to travel to these locations [Insert some amazingly expensive holiday you wouldn't be able to afford to go on even if you sold your soul], is that being you? You're saying photoshop yourself to show your curves and attract attention, is that being you? You're advising to remove any necessities that everyone has in everyday life out of the image and only have high end, pretty looking objects in view, is that you? And most of all, is the entire blog post YOU? Because im sure we haven't slipped into some Charlie brooker fantasy where everyone lives their life in a conformed list of instructions just yet.
It is disheartening when you put your real self out there and yet someone with 500k followers talking some utter shit about something they aren't passionate about blocks out all your content altogether. Because that's exactly what happens.
If your image doesn't get a certain rate of engagement within the first 2 minutes, Instagram then blocks your photo from being discovered by people who haven't engaged with you either; ever, or within the last 24 hours. That means around 60% of even your followers probably don't see your posts, let alone finding any new followers. And if like me, you are shadowbanned (Instagram claim this is a glitch on their software) then no hashtags ever work on your photos and no exposure outside of your engaging followers is given. At all.
So 'what's the point in doing it?' People say to me. I've heard so many people say ' I used to blog but I stopped because no one was reading my posts' and honestly, I feel ya.
Sometimes I sit here trying to think of witty posts or come up with an idea that covers a topic that's really popular at the minute in order to gain traffic to my blog or my Instagram, but then I read back and think, this isn't me, this isn't personal.
I want to look back in a few years and laugh like, 'oh remember when we first got luna and she shat on my laptop because I took my favourite bra that she was chewing off her' or cry because I remember the pain of losing my two babies. I want to look back and go 'aww look how small they are here, remember when she just started sitting up?' or 'Gosh look at me complaining about being tired here when im legit dying of tiredness right now, I didn't have a clue back then.' I want to look back and remember my writing fondly, I don't want to look back and read '5 self help books that cured me of depression' because truth is in the future no one is going to care, I'm the only one who is going to care and im going to regret getting a few thousand views on that verses a funny update that reminds me of a great time or a feeling.
I'm not dissing 'big' bloggers, they work hard and they are great at it, they deserve the exposure they get but what i'm trying to say is don't change yourself or your blog to conform with them just because they are popular.
You wanna write a blog on how your dog's poo progresses through life? You do it. You want to write a diary entry documenting your mental illness in the most personal way possible? You do it. You want to share you latest tinder date in every gory detail? You do it. You write about what you want to write about, write what you enjoy and what you know that ten years into the future you can look back on and say 'I'm so glad I wrote that, Id completely forgotten about it!' Don't write for someone else.
If your blog isn't getting great views, that's okay, it doesn't mean its shit. It doesn't mean you should change and fit in to 'what's popular.' So please, please, please, if you want to blog but are scared no one will read it, just do it! Do it for yourself. If you already have a blog and are unmotivated by it and low about it, please keep going because you started it for a reason. Remember the reason why you considered blogging in the first place? Was it to 'get rich quick?' probably not. It was to express yourself, share yourself and have a little place on the internet that's all yours. It doesn't matter what anybody else thinks of it.
[I do not own this image]
As a way for bloggers to gain exposure I have recently started up my 'Introducing…' series, so if you are interested in being a guest post on my blog in order to reach a further/different audience please check out my page and show your interest or let know on Instagram.
Thank you to everyone who has already applied to be a part of the series, you guys are what makes it worthwhile!

Dead Space 2 No Longer Coming to PC, Survey Suggests XBLA & PSN Ports of Dead Space Wii
"As of right now a PC sku is not in the plan," an EA representative told Blue's News. No reason was given for scrapping the PC edition, which the video games colossus announced alongside Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions a mere three months ago.
Though Dead Space sold over one million copies in a period of under two months, PC sales evidently accounted for too small a percentage of those sales by EA's standards.
Meanwhile, an EA survey received by Kotaku suggests that the on-rails shooter Dead Space: Extraction--which sold poorly when it was release on Wii in September--might receive an Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network release potentially for $15.
The survey also revealed we may see a "resource strategy game" named 'Planet Cracker,' which tasks players with maximizing profit and defending ore from "Space Pirates" and could provide in-game rewards in Dead Space 2.
Coming from series creator Visceral Games, Dead Space 2 is slated to hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and unspecified handheld(s) between January 1 and March 31, 2011.

Can you give some pleasure top these beautiful girls? They will be so happy if you can make their wet pussies cum!


text: So, I thought I should get this all down in one form or another before my THC-polluted memory bank fizzles away into just a color-filled haze. This has been a journey years in the making, covering well over 30,000 miles. It includes adventure, mishaps, bloodshed, and an un-expected tale of love and loss. I don't know what I really expected to get from all of this. Hell, I barely even had a plan in mind. No final location, no goal at the end of the day or mile marker to aim for. Just get back on and ride. And after all, what's a story if it hasn't been told. It would be a shame to let these experiences and memories remain locked up in my jumble of misfiring neurons known as the mind. We'll start out with a simple introduction. Here we have our fearless (and a bit clueless) leader. This handsome Italian fellow goes by many names. Alex at birth, I have been known to reply to anything from Al, to Al-Buns, Exalander, Upstate, Road-rash, and Burnout. Hell, if you can catch me in a brief moment of lucidity as I stumble about my natural environment, I'll answer to damn near anything, with an abundance of Dude and Man being thrown about. But don't let the bad-ass shades fool you, I'm far from intimidating. Quite the opposite, really. Now, I've always been an adventurous soul. I've had the term free spirit thrown my direction more than once. Growing up in upstate New York in a predominantly lower-middle class household, I really had to get creative to get my fix. There were no amusement parks, and the funding wasn't there for any vacation above an annual trip to one distant relative or another. So I amused myself with what I did have an abundance of, restricted access. If I wasn't supposed to be there, I wanted in. Even at a very young age, barely into my teens, I had a fort which was nothing more than an abandoned warehouse down by the railroad tracks. I'd spend entire summers there, and have the scar tissue to prove it. Re-inventing myself as what would become known as an Urban Explorer, I was able to occupy myself for years creating a rather impressive database of various abandonments, semi-abandonments, and various natural wonders. With a website to feed, and a crew of misfits, I have seen quite a bit. Been everywhere from defunct city armories to a vast network of drainage tunnels beneath the city to caves and caverns, both man made and natural long forgotten subway tunnels and massive railroad terminals and vacant power plants powerful enough to light a city of 220,000. These adventures were often fairly well planned out, including recon and security scheduling, but were fairly poorly funded. This often times resulted in a lot of necessary equipment being jimmy-rigged by whatever I had on hand, including a repelling harness fashioned from a length of tow rope just to figure out what the hell this hole was all about. These tendencies and my often overpowering curiosity blended well with the art of adventure touring and would manifest themselves numerous times throughout the years.

Minnesota Zoo in search of sculpted rhinosAPPLE VALLEY, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Zoo wants a couple of rhinoceroses, of the sculpted variety.
APPLE VALLEY, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Zoo wants a couple of rhinoceroses, of the sculpted variety.
The zoo says it wants the sculptures to put outside the entrance to its Tropics Trail. The zoo posted a solicitation in this week's State Register that seeks responses by Jan. 20.
Officials are planning to install life-size sculptures of an adult and a calf.
It's part of a broader campaign from the zoo's conservation department. The department is involved in a campaign to save black rhinos in Namibia. The Minnesota Zoo has a partnership arrangement with conservation organizations working in the rugged northwestern part of the African nation.
According to the zoo, the black rhino is critically endangered and only about 4,000 remain in the wild. Their numbers plummeted amid demand for their horns.

text: Al-Qaeda have gained control of areas in the country's north, where they imposed strict Islamic Shariah law [AFP]Mali's president has asked France for help countering an offensive rebel groups who control the northern half of the country and are heading south. France's UN Ambassador Gerard Araud told reporters after an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council late on Thursday that urgent action was needed against the groups who captured the city of Konna on Thursday and are currently threatening the city of Mopti, which has 100,000 inhabitants. "This terrorist attack weakens even more the stability of Mali and thereby that of its neighbours," Araud said. "Sustainability of the Malian government and the protection of civilian populations are now at stake." Araud said Mali's President Dioncounda Traore sent a letter to Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, which he transmitted to the Security Council, and a similar letter to French President Francois Hollande seeking assistance from France, the country's former colonial power, against the offensive. "It's up to the authorities of my country to decide and announce the nature of this assistance," Araud said. "It will be announced in Paris tomorrow." The Security Council expressed "grave concern" at the military action by the terrorist and extremist groups and called on UN member states "to provide assistance to the Malian Defence and Security Forces in order to reduce the threat posed by terrorist organisations and associated groups". Security vacuum Araud said council resolutions "call on all member states to provide assistance in resolving the Malian crisis in all its aspects, including military and political - and I emphasise - to provide support to the authorities of this country to put an end to the terrorist threat.'' Mali was plunged into turmoil after a coup in March 2012 created a security vacuum. That allowed the Tuaregs, who have long felt marginalised by Mali's government, to take half the north as a new homeland. But months later, the rebels were kicked out by groups allied with al-Qaeda, which have imposed strict Shariah law throughout the north. Late last year, the 15 nations in West Africa, including Mali, agreed on a proposal for the military to take back the north, and sought backing from the United Nations. The Security Council in December authorised an African-led force to support Malian forces in recovering the north - an area the size of Texas - but set no timeline for military action. Instead, it set out benchmarks to be met before the start of offensive operations, beginning with progress on a political roadmap to restore constitutional order, political reconciliation, elections and training of the Malian and African troops and police. The Security Council called for "the immediate issuance of an agreed political roadmap, which includes serious negotiations with non-extremist Malians in the north and presses for the full restoration of democratic governance".

Nationwide Children's Hospital is expanding their critical care transport services by establishing a fully dedicated helicopter for neonatal and pediatric transports. The state-of-the-art EC145 helicopter, named Monarch 1, features the best in size, performance and technology allowing for the safe transportation of critically ill patients. With approximately 30 percent of all neonatal admissions to Nationwide Children's requiring a drive of more than an hour, the addition of this aircraft allows the hospital's dedicated neonatal and pediatric transport team to initiate specialized critical care services more quickly. The helicopter will primarily transport neonates, but will also be available for hospital transports of pediatric patients.
Nationwide Children's is home to one of the largest neonatal networks in the U.S. and the majority of critical care transports include neonates. Starting February 4, this helicopter will serve as an addition to the existing ground-based and air transport options offered by both Nationwide Children's and MedFlight. Although the two programs operate independently, MedFlight and Nationwide Children's will continue their collaborative relationship. MedFlight will provide centralized dispatch support and track helicopters from both programs while in flight. Metro Aviation, Inc. will be the operator of Nationwide Children's helicopter.
The EC145 helicopter was specifically selected to fit the needs of the neonatal and pediatric patient population with special consideration for critically ill neonates. Based at The Ohio State University Airport in Columbus, Ohio, the aircraft is equipped with state-of-the-art critical care equipment, IFR technology allowing the aircraft to fly in low visibility and a combination of nitric oxide therapies and High Frequency Ventilation (HFV) for patients in need of respiratory care while in transport. Monarch 1 is the only Ohio transport helicopter that offers this kind of respiratory care for neonatal patients. This aircraft also offers a large cabin with the potential to allow a parent or guardian to ride on-board during the transport of their child. The large cabin also accommodates additional expert staff members to ensure patient safety while in flight. In addition to the cabin size, the overall aircraft is a larger model allowing the team to travel a farther distance at higher speeds. The helicopter will focus on transfers between hospitals and will not land at accident scenes as the current trauma system is extremely effective in first response.
"Minutes count when it comes to transporting critically ill infants," said Edward Shepherd, MD, section chief of Neonatology at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "The addition of this EC145 helicopter allows us to better serve our patient families while increasing the access to the neonatal and pediatric specialty care."
"MedFlight is honored to partner with Nationwide Children's Hospital, as it has for decades, to provide high quality lifesaving care to infants and children," said Thomas Allenstein, chief clinical officer at MedFlight. "Our partnership continues to grow as we join resources to support their new helicopter, crew and enhanced mission. Nationwide Children's continues to be one of the nation's best neonatal and pediatric air and ground medical transportation services."
The Transport Program at Nationwide Children's Hospital provides 24 hour neonatal and pediatric critical care transport services via mobile ICU, helicopter and jet aircraft to more than 1,800 patients each year, with more than half of those being newborns. The award-winning team is one of the few in the country capable of transporting neonates on nitric oxide therapy and high-frequency oscillation at the same time. The team is comprised of 68 RN's, respiratory therapists and transport technicians (all EMT-P certified), and EMT-drivers with an average of 14 years of critical care experience. The Transport Program was recently awarded the 2011 National Award of Excellence from the Association of Air Medical Services (AAMS) and is one of two children's hospitals in Ohio to receive the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) Accreditation. Our teams work closely with our medical directors and medical control physicians, and all medical care is driven by a combination of medical director approved protocols and guidelines, and on-line medical control via telephone during the transport process. The transport program provides critical care inter-facility transportation, 24-hours a day 7-days a week. The team provides transportation combined with a high level of care to critically ill patients from referring hospitals to Nationwide Children's Hospital to receive specialty care. On occasion the team provides "reverse" transportation to referring hospitals after receiving care at Nationwide Children's Hospital.

Eastman JohnsonUnited States; 1824-1906Hannah Amidst the Vines, c. 1860oil on canvas; 14 x 10.5 inchesGift of George Bliss, 1939One of the preeminent masters of nineteenth-century U.S. genre, Eastman Johnson travelled to Germany to attend the popular Dusseldorf Akademie, and spent three years in The Hague carefully studying the composition and color of the seventeenth-century Netherlandish masters. Having previously mastered the skill of charcoal portraiture, he changed his subject matter after his return from Europe to traditional U.S. themes. His multi-figure scene, Old Kentucky Home - Life in the South (1859), for which he was elected to the prestigious National Academy of Design, inaugurated a series on rural southern African Americans. The Georgetown painting depicts a charming young girl in a naturalistic pose, leaning on a fence in an arbour with a string of grapes suspended from her mouth.

Price Sheet for Sausage Casings Chicago - Cellulose casing – Artificial Casing Co., Ltd. Detail:
Cellulose casing, one of artificial casing, is used for used for the processing of all kinds of small diameter sausages, wieners, semi-dry, dry or fresh sausages and candy package.
Cellulose, usually from cotton linters or wood pulp, is processed to make viscose, which is then extruded into clear, tough casings for making wieners and franks.
They also are shirred for easier use and can be treated with dye to make "red hots". The casing is peeled off after cooking, resulting in "skinless" franks. Cellulosic viscose solutions are combined with wood pulp to make large diameter fibrous casings for bologna, cotto salami, smoked ham and other products sliced for sandwiches. This type is also permeable to smoke and water vapor.
They can be flat or shirred, depending on application, and can be pretreated with smoke, caramel color, or other surface treatments.
Cellulose casing excels in high throughput sausage processing. Cellulose provides added value to meat processors, providing the best performance in manufacturing costs, best raw material costs, highest production speeds, best yields, most precise size, longest shirred lengths, and best strength.
Directions for Use
- Casings should be stored sealed in cartons, in a cool dry location away from direct sunlight. Ideal storage conditions are at 4 degree C – 24 degree C and 55% to 60% RH. In these storage conditions, the casings have a two years shelf life.
- The shirred casing is fully ready to use as shipped in the Caddy, and must not be immersed in water prior to using.
- The shirred casing can be used with all types of sausage processing, including liquid smoke, acid showers, natural smoke, steam and water cooking, and can make all types of sausage. Speedy Peel casings work with acid shower buffered above pH 4. Below pH 4, use Regular Peel casings, which work in pH range 2.5 to 3.5 with maximum acid concentration of 10%. Acid showers are typically sprayed for one minute time duration, at a temperature of 38 degree C.
- Always ensure the stuffing machine is set up correctly, and the casing is filled to the desired recommended stuffing diameter, using the correct linker chains and the correct stuffing tube. When stuffing tubes are undersized, air can enter the meat and fat can separate in the meat emulsion. When the casing is too large,it will break because it cannot rotate freely on the stuffing tube.
- The stuffed casing surface should be moist without any water droplets when smoke is applied. Water droplets on the casing surface will leave spots on the sausage. Very dry casing prohibits adequate smoke penetration, creating pale color.
- The stuffed casings should be processed in the smokehouse within 45 minutes after stuffing, or else smoke color will be harder to develop and peeling will become more difficult.
- Typically the stuffed Speedy Peel casing is processed at relative humidity of 20% to 35%, and Regular Peel casings at humidity greater than 40%. Higher humidity improves peeling, but creates more fat on the surface of the sausage, and also lightens the sausage color. Below 20% humidify, the product will be impossible to peel.
- Oven cooking temperatures should be set to reach desired sausage internal temperature, and to enhance sausage skin color development.
- After processing, but before peeling, the stuffed casing must be chilled very quickly to reduce the sausage temperature, preferably with brine chill if available. Otherwise later the casing will not peel. Ideal chill temperature is under 4 degree C.
- The stuffed casing should be extremely damp in order to peel, and then peeled while cold, at less than 4 degree C temperature, preferably using steam peelers.
- To optimize sausage manufacturing, especially peeling, casings will be customized, with various mechanical properties, various end closures, various compositions and various additives.
Storage Conditions:
The casings should be stored in the cartons and caddy boxes between 4 deg C and 25 deg C, at room Relative Humidity of 50% to 70%.
Keep the casing away from direct sunlight, both caddies and cartons.
Unused casing should be returned to the caddy and covered completely in plastic so the casing will not dry out.
If the casing does dry out due to exposure to air, put the casing in a refrigerated high humidity room to remoisturize.
Always use casing FIFO: First In First Out, because the casing has a limited shelf life.

Very well put. I would hope as he seeks forgiveness from
God and his own former and current fans he allows God be the lead
in his life. Young athletes will be watching Lances steps going
forward in a diff way.
"I'll spend the rest of my life trying to earn back trust and apologize to people."
Lance Armstrong made that statement to Oprah Winfrey in his public confession this week when he finally admitted to using illegal performance enhancing drugs. It's the one statement that has stuck with me as I've tried to make sense of how and why someone would go to such great lengths to perpetuate a lie and intentionally deceive so many people.
Millions of people have admired Armstrong as an example of how to "Livestrong" and battle through life's difficult circumstances. Oddly enough, even though his athletic success and personal brand image have been discovered to be a fraud, he's still proving to be an example from whom we can learn.
Armstrong's fall from grace offers some important life and leadership lessons:
1. Life's not about you – Armstrong described himself as a narcissist and said it was his ruthless desire to win at all costs that drove him to be a cheater. I don't know that I've witnessed a public character with such an intense self drive and singular focus (with the possible exception of Tiger Woods, and look at what happened to him) that caused him to be so egotistical and selfish. The joy of life is unleashed when we discover that true happiness comes from serving others and not ourselves.
2. Bullies eventually get what's coming to them – A self-described bully, Armstrong vehemently condemned and intimidated anyone who stood in his way to success. He burned so many relationships on his way up, that now he finds himself alone in his shame on the way down.
3. If you're going to say you're sorry, you should actually be sorry – Several times Armstrong said that he was sorry and took full blame and responsibility for his actions, yet based on other comments he made and the unspoken words of his body language, he left me with the impression that he wasn't truly remorseful for defrauding everyone. He was apologizing for the sake of apologizing, recognizing that it was the necessary first step in rebuilding his image.
4. If it's too good to be true, it probably is – Armstrong's comeback from cancer, Tour de France victories, and life as an anti-cancer crusader seemed to be the perfect tale. He admitted to Oprah that he had devised such a fantastical narrative that it was impossible to live up to the idealistic standards he created. And millions upon millions of people bought it – hook, line, and sinker. Everyone single one of us has our faults and it's extremely dangerous to place anyone on a pedestal as the end-all be-all example we should follow.
5. The truth will set you free – Oprah closed the interview by telling Armstrong it was her hope that he would find "the truth will set you free." Jesus spoke those words in reference to people who choose to follow his teachings (John 8:32), meaning they would find the freedom and protection that comes from adhering to His moral principles. We all need a moral compass that keeps us oriented to true north, and Armstrong is an example of what happens when you lead without morality.
Lance Armstrong has a long way to go to rebuild trust with his followers. Is it even possible given the scope of his willful deception? I think it's going to be hard.
What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts.
Very well put. I would hope as he seeks forgiveness from
God and his own former and current fans he allows God be the lead
in his life. Young athletes will be watching Lances steps going
forward in a diff way.
I think he will pull through. It's a process. He needs
family and friends who have understanding. Maybe people wanted to
see tears to sure he's remorsefull, I saw strength and will of
character to rise above his failures….#livestrong!
When I was in school, we had this incredible chapter in
book called "The Ultimate Defeat of Great People" The chapter
revolve around the concept of after the death of Great Person, how
his principles, thinking gets misinterpreted by followers. How the
followers go entirely in different direction with their
misconception of their leaders vision. And how they actualy end up
betrying the true vision, beliefs of their leader. How the
followers completely ignore or hide the things, mistakes of their
leader so that they could make him a true legend, a hero, a God.But
they forget those mistakes actualy made him human, vulnerable.
After all, he was a human, he was bound to make mistakes. In fact
that's why he became great. The ultimate defeat of great person is
this that his followers end up following non existent wrong path
after his death for generations. And saddest part is the great
person can't back from dead to tell his disciples how they are
doing all wrong. I think, for Lance, its his virtual death of all
those things morale, beliefs ,everything. As he betrayed all those
who believed in him but this is the great chance that he could be
the one who actually turn it around, if he can prove his real self
worth. This could be the example of where his followers will get to
see him reborn from the ultimate failure Only if he could perform
and give his best. Collecting all these broken pieces for creating
the masterpiece. There's going to be only 2 sides, either he will
fall or he will rise. But right now look what kind of message has
been sent to the generation. That performance enhancing drugs is
the only way excel in life. I loved all of your points specially
the Life's Not about You. May be you should add, Spidey's lesson
too. "With Great Power comes Great responsibilty" One needs to be
very careful about what kind of example we are setting in front
millions of people, when they look up to you as their
I am currently writing a blog on Lance Armstrong as well as
I am sure many are. My focus is on perception. Specifically, how
perception drives us and with that drive, how we can make anything
happen. Good or bad. Although this is a bad example, it sure drives
the point home 🙂
Great discussion and points. In thinking about the lessons learned for us, for me, it seems to center on the opportunity to embrace truth actively and build a different storyline. It would have been much different for Lance to ride without doping and lead with integrity in cleaning up the sport. It may not have resulted in seven wins, but it would have resulted in a different culture and a better outcome in so many ways.
We have a choice in how to really lead with trust or just give platitudes to it. Choosing to embrace it creates a better life and leadership story.
Thanks, Randy!
Nothing is unforgivable. The burden is shared between the
accused and the abused. Well being comes from the admission of
guilt and the acceptance of freedom of that same guilt.
You know an apology interview doesn't go well when your
wondering if you feel that 50%+ of the interview was adding to the
mounds of lies! One of the great collapses from greatness in sports
history. Integrity matters.
I've Followed Lance for years and although very
disappointed by what has played out over the last few days, I still
wear my "Livestrong" bracelet, shirts, jackets etc proudly, for my
friends, colleagues, family members and the Millions of people
around the World who Battle Cancer or who have lost their battle.
Its bigger than Lance, bigger than one man, but I thank him for
what he started and I hope people see past the disappointment of
what he's done and remember there's a Foundation HE started, that a
lot of people rely on. Lets separate the two, because those people
at Livestrong who turn up every day to battle a deadly disease
don't deserve to be tarnished with the same brush, they have their
own Race to win. I truly hope Lance finds peace within himself.

Armstrong does not feel guilty because he believed very
strongly his means were fair to win because winning is all that
mattered. His apologies does not mean he is sorry, but that us the
right means to deal with his current situatio.
Pingback: "Five Lessons" From Lance Armstrong's Failure | Randy Conley | Murali Prasanna
I had the exact same sentence from that interview in my head- "I would have to apologize for the rest of my life" HECTIC!
But he wasn't 100% true, some vagueness on issues like who they sued. You would still know who your enemies are especially former teammates wifes' that openly attacked you.
Secondly , why would he race 100% clean in the comeback tours? He saw EPO in the same category as putting air in your tyres and water in your bottle. Added to this that his biological passport contradicts this statement for the comeback??
I still love Lance but he is unfortunately not coming clean from all of the detail. His credibility will be in the detail and not in a general apology.
Great article and I would say the best I have read re Lance Armstrong. How do you become authentic any time soon after a decade of a new level of deception that I have ever seen. I do pray that "the Truth will set him free". My personal opinion is unless Lance Armstrong surrenders to God and a servant approach he will have a challenging road ahead, I wish Lance "the Lord is his Shepherd and He will lead Lance to green pastures if Lance is willing.
It will take a very long time for The Lance to be trusted again. He may end up like Peter Rose, who had a long fall from grace due to betting on his own team. Peter will NEVER be back in Baseball and Lance may NEVER be back to any bicycling type sport. Maybe he can resolve this by becoming the Cleanest 'coach' out there. He had Chris Carmichael to help him get to the top, maybe it is time he helps the those he can rise to victory, but without the PEDs. I doubt he will ever have the trust of his 'loyal' fan base, ever again.
given that he must be about as popular as the child-catcher in the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film he must be able to get some positive momentum … surley??
In 1996, I was just getting into cycling and was so inspired by Lance's story that I wrote him a letter to encourage him to fight on in the face of adversity. His rapid recovery and dominance of the sport were amazing to me, and I was inspired. That was then, and then the rumors began, and I wondered how he could be clean when everyone of his major rivals was implicated for using PEDs. Today, my daughter and son, who are both athletes aged 15 and 14, and I have discussed this entire situation as it has played out. They have both said that, if an athlete needs to use drugs and cheat to win, then they would rather be clean and not stand on a podium, win a trophy, or get recognition. If they win, they will win by being clean. They have a healthy perspective and balanced lives by staying focused on being good students, participating in competitive sports, and being active in our community. We can't do anything about the past, however, we can change the future by instilling in our children the values of honesty and integrity in everything they do. While I believe what he did for his foundation is great and admirable, I think Lance has had enough air time…
Mark Olivito makes the only point that really matters and the lesson we should be teaching our children more than any other: live and act with integrity. In the end, everything that people remember about will begin with this essential trait.
Lance Armstrong created a mythical figure, and then found that he couldn't live up to it. After decades of ideas like "fake it 'til you make it" and being told to reach for the stars [but they never quite tell you how to deal with landing in the dirt], he chose what for him was the only way to achieve that mythic success. His failure points out the flaws of the system and the flaws of his own moral perspective, now he has to deal with being just a man and redefine living strong. Pete Rose did it and Tiger Woods is trying to do it, we'll see how Lance handles it.
I think the biggest lesson here for our youth is: the more you cheat and deceive others – the easier it becomes, the deeper you get, and before long you can't see the light because the hole is too deep. Another lesson here is that our first decisions are sometimes our MOST IMPORTANT ones. People don't realize that their first lie or false statement will snowball right before their own eyes, unless they are TRUE to themselves and admit their mistakes early rather THAN LATER. By the time LATER comes along, IT'S TOO LATE. How does that biblical phrase go? YOU REAP WHAT YOU SEW!!! Lance has definitely reaped his own future, now he has to walk through it's barren fields. I certainly hope that he or one of his close friends kept one of the GOOD SEEDS and plants it soon for him. Then, we'll just need a plethora of rain (which will be provided by Lance's personal and genuine tears).
Great article Randy! I believe we ought to look at Lance as a mirror for ourselves. We all know that he lied and that is certainly not good, but reality is we all fail or do wrong. When we fail, are we willing to humble ourselves and do our best to restore the damage? I admire Lance for his willingness to restore back trust. It is a courageous act to confess in public, I respect him for that.

The Thinking Cap
a state of mind marked by reflection or concentration:
If we put on our thinking caps, we may come up with the answer.
Truth be told we named project #4 as the The Thinking Cap during lighthearted banter in the studio, but the reality is we believe this cap is just that, a physical manifestation of its agenda, to inspire us to think differently about how we create, consume and continue moving forward in the world.
The Thinking Cap comes in two variations:
without ear flaps and with ear flaps.
The with ear flaps option features a strap that enables the flaps to be fastened under the chin or on top of the head giving adaptability both aesthetically as well as functionally during varying weather.
Unisex and minimalist in design, the Thinking Cap is tailored in London entirely out of luxury materials left over from menswear production that we source ourselves from local factories. The outer section of the hat is crafted from offcuts and end-of-rolls.
Offcuts are just that: cut off from the material needed for a product. In mass production garments are cut in bulk and often material is wasted in the cutting process. The leftover pieces of material are called offcuts, which are considered waste and in most cases are destined for landfill or incineration. We rescue these viable fabrics by hand to provide them with function and utility.
The level of detail we have taken toward conscious production is not only skin deep, even the materials used to give the cap structure internally were bound for incineration or landfill.
These odd shaped pieces are carefully patchworked together, ensuring our philosophy of mindful creation is present in each design decision we make.
The cap features a 7cm brim finished off with a bound edge. We cut and piece together four layers of tailoring canvas offcuts to give the brim its shape and form. Offcuts of wadding material discarded from technical outerwear production give gentle padding on the skull of the cap as well as give the cap its gently structured shape.
The cap is lined with water-resistant offcuts that were also discarded during technical outerwear production. Like all our projects thus far each cap features a handcrafted and hand-stamped rescue label with the number showing its limited edition nature and represents the number of pieces (re)vision society has been able to craft out of materials bound for waste.
As a final touch, each cap features a small embossed (re)vision society leather label made by hand out of offcuts we rescued from a leather accessory factory.
With such meticulous attention to detail and handwork, The Thinking Cap takes time and patience to realise, but we find it to be refreshing to create the space for such time as well as the opportunity to promote the concept of mindful production.
Henceforth, The Thinking Cap will only be available made-to-order for you.

438: Internet Argument
|Internet Argument
Title text: It's easier to be an asshole to words than to people.
Since the first time the internet made possible to have sustained conversations with people in remote locations, it was found that most people tend to use harsh language in these conversations much more often than they would with regular spoken face-to-face conversations. This effect is similar to what happens when people drive a car: they're much more likely to get exasperated or angry at other drivers than they would when not driving.
Also, some people collectivelly known as Trolls find it funny to disrupt other people's conversations in internet forums, posing as innocent speakers. Examples of this can be entering a conversation between cancer patients suggesting the use of some "miracle" cure, or just asking simple, obvious questions and then pretending to not understand the answers. Most probably, trolls wouldn't have this behavior if they were speaking to a group of people in real life. A similar concept is Wikiterrorism, where someone intentionally includes false information in Wikipedia to see how long it lasts before someone notices.
In the first two panels, Cueball is having some harsh words and probably insults with another troll. Megan takes hold of Cueball and flies him to the other one, so they see each other face to face. In this situation, they both remain silent as none of them find anything to say to the other.
When Megan returns Cueball to his original computer, both keep their conversation, but without the insults.
The title text just summarizes the whole idea into a single sentence.
- [Cueball is typing profanities into his computer.]
- [Friend is typing profanities into his computer.]
- [Megan floats in behind Cueball.]
- [Megan lifts Cueball.]
- [They are flying over mountains.]
- [Megan and Cueball are floating in front of the friend and his computer.]
- [She sets Cueball down in front of the friend and his computer.]
- [Megan lifts Cueball again.]
- [They are flying.]
- [Megan sets Cueball down in his chair at his computer.]
- [Cueball is typing at his computer.]
- [Friend is typing at his computer.]

I've written a (hopefully) complete explanation, and removed the incomplete tag. I included an explanation for trolls, however I don't think this comic is about trolling. I think it's about how people who is friendly in daily life can be much harsher when there's not a face to be friendly to, but only a block of text. 22.214.171.124 04:07, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

No apparent reference to trolls in the comic. Not even one. The two Cueballs are exact mirrors of each other. How is one a troll? Also, not sure why there is a very specific explanation regarding people who troll cancer forums... This definitely needs to be fixed.--flewk (talk) 17:40, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- Seconded. Both parties at the computers are upset, which suggests they're just arguing and at least one is being an asshole out of anger rather than trolling to get a rise out of the other. That said, I'm not sure how to fix it either unless it's satisfactory to simply copy what I just said...--Isaacslaughing (talk) 04:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

I had a hysterectomy when I was in my early 40s. My physician advised me to take six weeks off after this major surgery. I followed his instruction and made arrangements at work, as well as planned to have some at-home care from friends and neighbors. I am happy to report that due to meditation and an essential oil, all of these preparations were unnecessary.
I went home from the hospital with prescription-strength Tylenol and Vicodin. I used a few doses of the Tylenol and none of the painkiller. Instead, I relied most heavily on an herbal preparation called oral arnica, which I took daily. By my third day home from the hospital, I was not only able to get up and down my stairs (which was supposed to take two weeks), I was in my backyard doing some gentle gardening! I felt so strong that it was really more challenging to stay sedentary than it was to walk or move freely. On my incision, I used a lotion containing a high concentration of tea tree oil.
Perhaps as important (if not more so) was my devotion to meditation. I have practiced Buddhism for several years, and am an active member at my local Zen center. I truly believe that the time I spent in peaceful contemplation healed me, and continues to renew me on a daily basis. I find the "hard" research that supports this really interesting, especially the reports on how people who meditate can actually change their brain chemistry.
I received very little resistance about my chosen healing methods, mostly because I chose to surround myself at that time with positive, supportive people. My gynecologist is also usually progressive, so I shared with him my entire health plan, which he endorsed. Perhaps because I have such an open-minded physician, I would never totally forsake conventional medicine for either meditation or herbal remedies. But thanks in large part to these complementary methods, I was ready to return to work after two weeks.

RedRover Sales & Marketing has added several new members to its "pack" in recent weeks.
In the last quarter alone, the firm – which hit its seventh anniversary in January – added four new professionals. They are marketing account executives Rachel Carpenter and Natalie Cunningham, graphic designer Kennon Adair and sales trainer and recruiter Gary Dean.
The new help is connected to growth elsewhere for RedRover, including the addition of new service lines since last summer, a full client roster and an impending move into a new space Downtown in a few months.
RedRover also has been expanding its offerings for businesses, an example of which is a "Selling Through Discovery" seminar Dean hosted June 21.
It was a workshop that looked at how most sales are won and lost and helped attendees discover prospects' needs versus perceived needs.
Meanwhile, RedRover also partnered with the Westin Memphis Beale Street Hotel and Memphian Angela Copeland earlier this month to hold a fundraiser to raise money for schools that were damaged by the May 20 tornadoes in Moore, Okla.
RedRover lent its help to the organization and marketing of the event, as well as media relations, event promotion and securing sponsors.
The event brought in $34,000 for the Moore schools.
All of which is to say the firm is plenty busy, and the new faces are a testament to that.
"We have been on quite a growth trend since opening our doors seven years ago, now with a staff size of 13," said RedRover CEO and founder Lori Turner-Wilson. "And the reasons are simple – extraordinary client partnerships and internal talent at RedRover, coupled with our unique sales and marketing model and a results-driven approach."
RedRover's revenue in 2012 was up 90 percent from 2011. Whereas a traditional agency may make the majority of its money based on media commissions, RedRover is selling consultancy and experience to mid-sized companies.
RedRover's sales and marketing strategy model also allows clients to compete with big national and international companies that have much larger budgets, but at an affordable rate.
Carpenter and Cunningham came to RedRover from Greenline Marketing. Both of them said they'd been aware of RedRover long before now and always admired the firm from a distance.
"It was exciting to learn they really have a business strategy approach to figuring out solutions for clients," Carpenter said. "I think a lot of agencies take strictly a marketing approach of, 'Here's our list of things – of tactics we offer, so just go down the list and checkmark everything you need.'
"I have a finance background, and I spent a few years in finance and business analysis. So when I learned that in the first 60 days with clients (RedRover) is going in and figuring out strategically what makes sense for this client – that was just really exciting for me. For a company that's been around seven years and is moving into a new space in September – I feel like there's so much talent here."
Cunningham said she was excited to learn how experienced the team at RedRover is.
"I've only been here a few weeks, but I can pretty confidently say we have the best team in town for what we're doing," she said. "Working with people who inspire me to be better is exciting."

How to Taste Wine
The intentional exercise of wine tasting encourages us to slow down, pay more attention to what's in the glass and eventually learn to describe what we smell and taste more accurately. In short, it not only helps you learn about wine, but also helps you enjoy wine more because you are paying closer attention to it.
We all know how to taste wine - sip, savor, swallow, repeat. But as you begin your wine journey, we invite you to slow down a bit - spend some time with your wine. Get to know it a little better. Like any relationship, a little time and attention make a big difference.
We recommend a comparative tasting featuring four common varietals: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Go through the four steps for each wine, starting with Sauvignon Blanc and progressing to the Cabernet.
Common Descriptors
Here are some common aroma and flavor descriptors associated with our selected wines. You'll notice over time that, when grown in different climates, these varietals can have widely varying profiles.
|Sauvignon Blanc
|Citrus, grass, herbs, bell pepper, fresh cut hay, melon
|Citrus, apple, pineapple, pear, mineral, stone fruit, floral, vanilla, toast
|Blueberry, plum, chocolate, red berry, bramble, green bean
|Cabernet Sauvignon
|Black currant, cassis, red berries, black pepper, bell pepper, prune
Thoughtful wine tasting has four basic steps:
- Look
- Smell
- Sip
- Describe
Step 1 - Look: The Wine's Appearance
In evaluating a wine's appearance, we are looking for color and clarity.
Hold your wine glass up and notice how the wine reflects the light.
Note its color and brilliance (or lack thereof).
(Assuming your glass is only 1/3 full) tilt it slightly and hold it over your white tasting mat. Is it deep or pale? Opaque or clear? Look for color change around the edge of the wine - this can indicate age.
White wines tend to be light straw in youth and age to a deep gold. Different varietals will show different hues.
Red wines are more purple when young. As they age, they will change from ruby to a deep garnet.
Step 2 - Smell: Enjoy the Aromas
The total impression of a wine - which we tend to call "flavor" - is actually a combination of aroma and palate impression. Think of how the flavors of food are muted when you have a bad cold. The aromas of wine - often called "the nose" - have much to do with our overall enjoyment of the wine, so take some time on this step.
Holding your glass on the table, gently swirl the wine in a circular motion three to four times.
Bring the glass to your nose and inhale deeply. Swirling the wine coats the sides of the glass with the wine, releasing more of the aromatic components of the wine. Get your nose way down there in the glass – don't be shy!
Think about the aromas you are experiencing - try to describe them.
Swirl and sniff again - did you notice anything more? Anything different?
If you are evaluating the wine with others, listen to what they observe in the wine - and then take it or leave it. What they say may be exactly what you were trying to describe or you may have a completely different impression of the wine.
Step 3 - Sip: Palate Impressions
Building on the aromas you've already found in the wine, take a medium-sized sip of the wine.
Hold it in your mouth for a bit, letting it cover all areas of your tongue. You will see serious wine tasters purse their lips and draw in a bit of air over the wine. This takes some practice and looks a little goofy but helps to release more of the flavors in the wine.
Swish the wine gently in your mouth (as if you were chewing).
Now swallow the wine (or carefully spit into your spit bucket if you wish). If you are swallowing the wine, note the impression it makes in the back of your mouth as you swallow - called the "finish."
As you go through this process, your brain is taking some time to develop taste impressions. Note the following:
Sweet or Dry - most table wines are "dry" - but a very fruity, youthful wine may seem "sweet"
Acidity - often a "tart" impression. A wine without enough acidity will seem flabby.
Tannins - tannins often give a bitter "puckery" sensation.
The difference between acidity and tannin? Acidity will make your mouth water. Tannins leave your mouth dry.
White wines get their backbone from their acidity - red wines from tannin structure.
Weight - does the wine seem thin or full? Structured or flabby? Elegant or robust?
Finish - as you swallow the wine, is the finish long and lingering or short and abrupt? Smooth or harsh?
Step 4 - Describe: Record What You Taste
Take the time to write a few notes as you go through the tasting. It helps to cement your impressions, especially as you become better at describing what you taste and smell. Don't be afraid of any word that pops to mind - fat, grassy, smoky, herbal, buttery, leather - all these terms are commonly used to describe wine.
Like anything else that you practice, going through this exercise repeatedly will make you "better" at it. You'll start to notice - and be able to name - more flavors and aromas. You'll learn the common characteristics of different varietals and be able to note more readily the differences when you taste wines side by side. But most of all, have some fun.

Included document last updated 1/21/2020
*The Following Kentucky and Jessamine County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Consideration Certificate
Transfer tax is collected on the actual consideration stated and paid or to be paid in the deed. If the deed is a gift or indicates nominal consideration only, tax must be paid on the estimated price of the property and this form is required. It confirms any consideration stated in the deed and adds the estimated fair cash value the property would bring in an open market. A brief list of exemptions can be downloaded here. For a more detailed list and further information, download the relevant statutes posted under Transfer Tax Information.
Transfer Tax Information
These excerpts from Kentucky statutes list the exemptions from transfer tax in detail. If the document is exempt from transfer tax, it must be stated on the document.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by notaries in the state.
Homestead Exemption
If you are 65 years old or disabled you may qualify for a homestead exemption on your property taxes.
Mechanic's liens are governed under Chapter 376 of Kentucky Revised Statutes (K.R.S.). Although Kentucky law doesn't provide a required format for a waiver, claimants can use various types of lien waivers in order to simplify payments between contractors, subcontractors, customers, and property owners. A waiver is a knowing relinquishment of a right. In this case, the person granting the waiver is relinquishing the right to seek a mechanic's lien for all or part of the amount due. This assurance is usually enough to get the other party to pay.
Lien waivers are generally either based on a partial/progress payment or a final payment, and may be conditional or unconditional. Partial waivers release a portion of the lien rights, determined by the amount paid. Final waivers release all lien rights because the balance is paid in full. Conditional waivers give more protection to the claimant, and are dependent on any payments clearing the bank. Unconditional waivers give the advantage to the party responsible for paying, and take effect immediately upon recording, regardless of whether or not the bank covers the check.
Regardless of their nature, waivers must identify the parties, a description of the location and type of goods and/or services provided, significant dates, fees, and payments. Record the completed waiver in the office responsible for maintaining the land records for the county where the subject property is located.
The final unconditional waiver is the most comprehensive option. Once recorded, it will forfeit any lien right for the final payment amount regardless of payment being verified. Be cautious about using this waiver, because recording it removes an option for recourse if something goes wrong with the payment. With that in mind, verify that the funds actually go through (meaning the check has cleared) before giving up the right to lien.
This article is provided for information purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for the advice from a legal professional. Please speak with an attorney with questions about using a lien waiver, or for any other issues related to liens in Kentucky.

Elizabeth Karmel (@GrillGirl on Twitter) is our big sister, BBQ Mentor and dear friend. We knew her before she became so famous and appeared on NBC in Chicago, look at her now! If it wasn't for her, we would still be burning chicken breasts on our gas grill! Last June we joined Elizabeth for a weekend at the Big Apple Block Party which is probably as close as a BBQ lover could get to heaven on earth. She introduced us to Ed Mitchell, who makes some of the finest BBQ in the country at his restaurant "The Pit" in North Carolina. Some would say that he defines the "Whole Hog" BBQ and after having many of his sandwiches, I would agree. Here they are in the 2nd and third segments of this CBS Early Show Tailgate special.

Taylor Swift is making fans' wildest dreams come true once again.
The newly single "Shake It Off" singer decided to pay it forward Saturday when she made a surprise trip to an unsuspecting couple's wedding.
In several photos posted onto social media, Swifties learned the singer attended a ceremony at the Brant Beach Yacht Club in New Jersey where she not only posed for photos with the bride and groom, but also performed "Blank Space" on the piano.
"Congratulations Max and Kenya!!" Taylor wrote on Instagram with a tears of laughter emoji featured in the caption.
For an added surprise, fans later spotted Calvin Harris liking the photo on Instagram.
As for the actual wedding ceremony, family and friends were more than delighted to have the Grammy winner stop by. From siblings to cousins, many guests couldn't help but capture their enthusiasm on social media.
"So Taylor swift showed up to my cousins wedding... #Surprised," a family member shared on Twitter with video of the performance.
Another guest added, "REMEMBER WHEN TAYLOR SWIFT CRASHED MY SISTER'S WEDDING." And yes, all caps were absolutely necessary.
According to People, Taylor pulled off the surprise with help from the groom's sister. Back in April, Ali Singer reached out and opened up about the loss of a family member.
Before his wedding this weekend, Max married his wife in the hospital so his mom wouldn't miss out on one of the biggest days of her son's life. The mother-son duo even danced to "Blank Space" on the special celebration.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.

A large and well-informed turnout at a town hall meeting or a community forum is an extremely effective way to send a strong message to your Member of Congress, the media, and the general public (via the media). If your lawmaker is supportive of your issue, a show of support helps to solidify his or her position.
Sometimes lawmakers participate in events not open to the public, except by invitation. If you know of an event that you would like to attend, but it is not open to the public, call the legislator's office and ask if you can attend. In general, when attending and speaking at town meetings, conduct yourself as you would when testifying at a hearing or meeting with your elected officials.
Before the town meeting...
- Find out the legislator's schedule. Newspapers often publish these dates, or sometimes the lawmaker will send out a schedule to voters in his or her district. The most reliable way to find the schedule is to call his or her office.
- Try to recruit several others to attend the meeting with you. Inform them of the date, time, address and nature of the meeting. If you have the time and resources, provide background information, a map to the site, salient points and sample questions.
- Think about how the congressperson will likely respond to your questions, and prepare in advance with answers and follow-up questions.
At the town meeting...
- Keep your comments brief, clear and to the point.
- If you attend with a group, wear stickers or buttons to identify that you are all in support of a common issue.

Ever since Panasonic and Olympus created their Micro Four Thirds mirrorless system, all the talk has been about what the other players in the market will do. Micro Four Thirds has been steadily building its market share, seemingly without response from the three companies that account for over 80% of DSLR sales (Canon, Nikon and Sony), to the extent that 'Micro' risks becoming the generic term for these mirrorless systems ('When will Brand X make a Micro camera?' has become a fairly common thread title on our forums).
The waiting is now over as, following the showing of some mock-ups at PMA and a torrent of teasers and leaks, Sony finally officially announced its NEX system last month. The details are exactly what you'd expect – HD video capable APS-C sensors in small bodies. What might take you by surprise is just how small the bodies are – the NEX-5 in particular being tiny. In fact the cameras are too small to include in-body image stabilization units, as found in Sony's SLRs, and instead use lens-based 'Optical SteadyShot'. These NEX cameras will come under the Alpha brand but do not make use of the Alpha lens mount, instead using the completely new all-electronic E-mount.
Sony has made clear that it is aiming for compact camera users who wish to upgrade (a market it estimates at around 10 million potential buyers), rather than trying to offer a second camera for existing DSLR users. And the NEX models have more in common with compact cameras than DSLRs – including very few buttons and a resolutely unconventional interface.
As part of this interface it offers not only the standard Sony option of showing a small description of each selected option, it also has a full user guide built in to the camera. Relevant sections of this guide are available in each shooting mode to give hints and advice about everything from how to hold the camera to how to achieve an out-of-focus background.
The company told us that it felt its competitors had merely miniaturized, rather than revolutionized, so it's no surprise that the NEXs are more than just the company's SLRs with the mirrors removed. Instead you get a wholly new system with metal-bodied kit lenses (something we didn't expect to see again in a mainstream product), and an accessory port instead of a conventional flash hot shoe.
As with Samsung and Panasonic, Sony's background is electronics (rather than cameras) so the incentive to move away from the optically complex DSLR design to one based more around electronic displays makes sense. Sony's situation is a little different in that it bought the respected Minolta brand and know-how but, despite plenty of new models, it has only been able to make a big impression on the DSLR market in a few selected regions. Consequently, it's understandable that it might want to combine its DSLR knowledge with its electronics expertise to establish some compelling competitive advantage.
Three E-mount lenses are being announced alongside the cameras – an 16mm F2.8 pancake, a standard 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 stabilized kit zoom and a stabilized 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 superzoom. Although the company talks a great deal about shallow depth-of-field, none of the lenses initially offered will offer a great deal of control in that respect. Being based around an APS-C sensor as used in the majority of DSLRs, the NEX cameras are subject to the same 1.5x 'crop factor' as them, so a 16mm lens will give the same field of view as a 24mm lens would on a 35mm film cameras.
Three kits are available: the 'snap' kits which include the 18-55mm zoom, the 'go out with me' kits that feature the 16mm prime lens and the 'go out and snap' kits that include both. And, while we think a 24mm equivalent prime lens will make sense to somebody and are quite able to look beyond the comedy potential of calling a product 'go out with me,' we cannot make any sense of the decision to bundle such a potentially challenging lens with what we're told are point-and-shoot cameras.
The majority of people walking into camera shops will be very badly served if they leave with a camera and nothing but an ultrawide angle lens. And, still more disappointingly, despite its F2.8 maximum aperture, the 16mm lens will not offer much scope for blurring backgrounds, so shouldn't be sold on that basis either.

In my last post I had reported some timing measurements for various operations. One of them was fingerprinting using the path-based hashing Fingerprinter class in the CDK. As reported, it took nearly 4 minutes to process a 1000-molecule subset of ZINC. Not good.
So I spent a little time last night hacking on the code, primarily making the search for unique paths a little faster. Happily, my latest commit (in 1.2.x, should be merged into trunk soon) allows the fingerprinter to process 1000 molecules in approximately 59s – a 4X speed up.
In terms of behavior, the new code gets the exact same paths as the old code, the only difference being that the order of atoms in the path can be reversed. Since the fingerprint is generated by hashing "path strings", this means that the fingerprints from the new code will differ slightly from the old code. So if you're working witha bunch of fingerprints calculated with the old code, you should probably regenarate them with the new code.

The results are in, and Intel's latest series of solid-state hard drives and 4th-generation Core i7 processors have topped the charts in all major categories. Based on performance tests conducted this week by the CRN Test Center, Intel's Data Center S3500 Series solid-state drives are the fastest SSDs we've ever tested. Unveiled on June 11 were eight 2.5-inch models and four 1.8-inch models, ranging in capacity from 80 GB to 800 GB, and starting at $115.
Also impressive is the Intel Core i7-4770K processor, one of four new CPUs code-named Haswell, officially unveiled by the company last week. Despite mixed reviews elsewhere, Intel's quad-core chip outperformed anything comparable that has come through our labs before.

Charleston Water Taxi Depends on Yamaha to Stay on Time
By Craig Lamb
The Ms. Evelyn and Dorothy Marie are 40-foot Corinthian Catamarans that run a continuous loop around Charleston Harbor. From 9 a.m. until 8 p.m. daily, the Charleston Water Taxi boats ferry passengers to and from historical sites and the entertainment and dining district that are unique to the South Carolina coastal town.
The water taxis run every hour with a 30-minute turnaround time over the 4-mile, round-trip excursion. A tight, nonstop schedule running 11 hours each day of the year makes being on time the most important part of the business.
That is why Capt. Scott Connelly and Capt. Chip Deaton, co-owners of the Charleston Water Taxi, depend on Yamaha to power their catamarans.
"People depend on us to be on schedule, every day, seven days a week," said Connelly, like his partner, natives of Charleston who've made lifelong careers of working on the water.
"Keeping that hourly schedule is key to us," added Deaton. "We are a taxi service and the reliability of Yamaha proved itself to us in the first year."
That was back in 2005 when they launched the business.
"We went with Yamaha first, knowing it would be the most dependable brand for us, especially with the risks involved in launching a new business," explained Connelly.
"We went with 150 horsepower outboards and got 800 hours from the first set without any problems," continued Deaton. "We kept on going with another set of 150s and got 8,700 hours from those outboards."
"We can't afford downtime, and at the end of the day we want to go home, be with our families."
They get to do that thanks to the dependability of Yamaha technology. In fact, the current set of 2.8L F200 In-Line Four outboards has produced remarkable performance.
"We have 7,000 and counting on this set," continued Deaton.
To put that into perspective, running an outboard motor for 7,000 hours is equivalent to driving a vehicle for 225,000 miles in urban commuting.
"Other than routine maintenance we haven't had any issues with our Yamahas," said Connelly.

Repowering the Ms. Evelyn and Dorothy Marie was made easy with mounting centers and bolt patterns that are identical to Yamaha's two-stroke HPDI 200. Upgrading to digital rigging was easy, too.
Connelly and Deaton like the faster acceleration, efficient power and best power-to-weight ratio of the F200. Passengers like the benefit of carrying on conversations about their Charleston experience and touring plans. They do that thanks in part to the new Shift Dampener System (SDS) hardware. An SDS propeller, together with counterbalancing shafts, helps minimize shifting vibration for a quieter, smoother ride.
