My latest one was the E71 that I miss dearly, what a fantastic mobile and Nokia will always be atop for me. They are slacking in the Battle with Andriod and Apple though. Did go thru 2 iPhones, they are nice and the apps are great and all but everyone has them and they are fragile. Making my way to the mytouch the sad part is that it's got no flash and no zoom in nor out, but the 5mp do that justice with the fx app. Overall I like it and will be using it for a while, the name is nopants if you'd like to know ask if not then oh well. Reside in Orlando, Florida where Universal Studios and Disney World literally own the area. Tons of tourists that don't know how to drive filled with beautiful women and the multi diverse which is great. Just turned 23 this past Thursday. Any questions ask away, glad to be here. _PANTS.

Wake 'N Shake is a 12-hour dance marathon held every spring at Wake Forest University, benefiting the Brian Piccolo Cancer Research Fund. For 12-hours, students, alumni, and faculty members come together to stay standing in support of all those affected by cancer, asking for donations in support of their participation. The event is non-stop fun, complete with food, games, prizes, live entertainment, and speakers.
Wake 'N Shake has grown exponentially in the past nine years and it is exciting to see the event get bigger year after year. In 2006, the first year of Wake 'N Shake, about 300 students danced to raise $30,000. In 2016, just eleven years later, 1,400 students danced to raise over $300,000. The event has quickly turned into a beloved campus-wide tradition that students and faculty look forward to all year-long. Today, Wake 'N Shake is proud to be Wake Forest University's largest philanthropy event, both in number of participants and amount raised.
We attribute this profound success to an incredibly compassionate student body, with supportive networks of family and friends who are eager to support this worthwhile cause. One of the taglines of our event is "it's about being a part of something bigger than yourself," which proves true year after year. Wake 'N Shake is a group effort by members of both the Wake Forest and Winston-Salem communities.

A very fine pair of chased and gilded bronze candlesticks, the fluted urn-form nozzles supported by winged cupidons holding arrows and kneeling on a cylindrical base adorned with a loaded quiver, arrow, and flower garland and decorated at its base with an anthemion motif, all raised on an acanthus-leaf-molded square base. Stamped G several times under the nozzle.
Period Empire (1804-1815).
H 8 ¼ inches
Polylobed mirror, the frame in sculpted wood, gilded and partially polychromed in the form of cut leather, leaves, and, at the top, a couple regarding each other and holding hands. Italy, 18th c., the glass later.
H 60 cm, W 62 cm
Mirror in sculpted, lacquered, and gilded wood, with a rococo décor of leaves and flowers, the crest decorated with a stylized shell.
Period Louis XV (1723-1760).
Panel in walnut sculpted in bas-relief, Conqueror of the crusades, the principal figure plumed and carrying a flag marked Mont-Joie/St Denis, with sketches of the sea voyage, the city of Jerusalem, and other soldiers, from the door of a chest, Burgundy, in early 17th c. style, repairs to two corners.
22 by 11 5/8 inches
Chandelier in giltbronze, rock crystal, and cut glass, of basket form, with six movable lights distributed around a faceted belt. Early 19th century.
Very slight losses and pierced for electricity.
Pair of brass three light candelabras after a design by Jean-Charles Delafosse dating to the period 1768-1780, each with three removable curved leaf-cast candle arms with leaf-tied drip-pans and fluted bobeches, topped with a later pine cone finial, the fluted central standard cast with friezes of entrelac and beading and raised on a circular fluted foot. They have been fitted with a later tole shade of adjustable height.
This fine set may well have been cast in the 19th c from a mercury-gilded 18th c. set; such a set, identical in every respect to our pair, was sold in Paris in December 2007. They can be used as single-standard candlesticks, as three-light candlesticks, or as shaded lamps.

CONTACT: Phillippa Cannon, (312) 353-6218
No. 05-OPA264
CHICAGO (Dec. 12, 2005) --- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen L. Johnson, Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and Executive Director of the California Urban Water Conservation Council Mary Ann Dickinson, today announced that the headquarters of a new water conservation organization will be in Chicago. The organization, the Alliance for Water Efficiency, will be a clearinghouse and advocate for water efficiency research, evaluation and education.
"Wise water use means more than just turning off a dripping faucet. Water efficiency is a smart, cost-effective solution to the quality and supply challenges facing one of our nation's most precious natural resources," said Administrator Johnson. "Together with partners like the Alliance for Water Efficiency, EPA is promoting the ethic of conserving our water resources - ensuring the availability of clean water for future generations of Americans."
"Water conservation is an important issue in Chicago as exemplified by our Water Agenda," said Mayor Daley. "We look forward to welcoming the alliance to Chicago and continuing to work on this important issue."
"We are delighted we could work with stakeholders nationwide to develop the goals and programs for a new national organization focused on water efficiency," said Executive Director Dickinson. "There is extraordinary interest from a wide variety of groups including water suppliers, government officials, environmentalists, plumbing and appliance manufacturers, irrigation professionals, and building developers to pull together a program of water efficiency options that will benefit the nation as a whole."
"This timely effort complements the leadership of Great Lakes governors as they advance water conservation and efficiency in the Annex 2001 Agreements later this week," said Benjamin H. Grumbles, EPA Assistant Administrator for Water.
Efficient use of water has numerous environmental and economic benefits including:
- conserving and protecting water supplies
- lowering water bills
- avoiding the need for the construction of new treatment and distribution facilities
- allowing for new growth using existing water resources
- reducing wastewater
- maintaining water flow for fish and aquatic creatures
- reducing ground-water depletion and contamination
- reducing pollution
- minimizing the effects of drought

Astronomical Redshift
By Mike Luciuk
Studying astronomical redshift via spectral and photometric techniques has been an intensive astrophysical activity since 1929 when Hubble announced that galaxies are moving away from each other, i.e. the universe is expanding. Although Doppler redshift is well known to most amateur astronomers, this tutorial will also cover two less familiar causes of this phenomenon.
Astronomical redshift is the lengthening of emitted radiation as detected by observers. The amount of lengthening is commonly denoted by z
If z is positive, the observer sees a redshift. Negative z is a blueshift (wavelengths are shortened)
There are three causes of astronomical redshift:
1. Doppler redshift is a result of relative radial motion between emitter and observer.
2. Gravitational redshift occurs when the emitting body's photons lose energy overcoming a gravitational field.
3. Cosmological redshift is caused by the relativistic expansion of the universe, as quantified by the Hubble constant, H0.
Total redshift effects can be represented by:
FIGURE 1. Wavelengths of spectral lines increase as z increases
The emitted spectrum in nanometers is at the bottom of the figure. The upper spectra have z values of 0.02, 0.06, and 0.25 respectively. Note that wavelengths move into the red as z increases.
In 1842, Christian Doppler pointed out that the observed wavelength of light is affected by the motion between the emitting source and the observer. We've all witnessed the acoustic corollary. An ambulance siren sounds at a higher pitch as it approaches us, then the pitch sounds lower as it speeds past us. In the same way, an approaching light source is seen as blueshifted as it approaches, and is redshifted when it moves away. The equation quantifying this effect when the velocity, v, is not too relativistic (less than 10% of light speed) is
Where v is the radial velocity between the source and observer
c is the velocity of light, 300,000 km/s
example, the hydrogen alpha line has a laboratory wavelength of 656.285 nm. If
this spectral line in the light from a nearby star is 656.315 nm, we can
calculate its receding speed as follows:
However, life gets more complicated at velocities where relativistic effects are important. Redshifts of 0.1 or greater must be handled with the following equations.
FIGURE 2. As radial velocity approaches light speed, z increases rapidly.
An example of equation (5) will be given later in this tutorial.
It should be noted that all electromagnetic radiation is affected by redshifting. Large values of z can lengthen ultraviolet light into the infrared spectrum and infrared into the radio spectrum.
Recall that one of the spectacular predictions of Einstein's general relativity was that stellar light passing the edge of the Sun would be deflected 1.75 arc seconds. In addition, his theory predicted that electromagnetic radiation passing through a gravitational field would be redshifted. General relativity quantifies how mass-energy warps space time.
FIGURE 3. A rather simplistic view of how Earth's mass might distort surrounding space time, forming a "gravitational hollow" that creates its gravitational field.
As photons pass through a gravitational field, they lose energy, decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength. The gravitational redshift equation is
Where G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the body
c is the velocity of light
r is the distance from the body
For example, the redshift of starlight passing by the edge of the Sun would be
Massive as the Sun is, its gravitational redshift effect is quite small. More massive objects like black holes have a major redshift impact. The effect has been accurately measured on Earth (reference 1). In 1965, when gamma rays were directed upwards to a height of 22.5 meters, a gravitational redshift of 2.56x10-15 was detected.
Cosmological redshifts become dominant for objects outside our Local Group of galaxies. These redshifts are a result of the stretching of space time, as postulated by general relativity, and not by radial motion. Light moving in that space will also be stretched. Its wavelength increases, and it becomes redshifted.
It's important to note that stretching space time does not alter the size of stars, galaxies or even galaxy clusters. Their gravitational fields keep their dimensions unaltered.
Cosmological expansion occurred after the Big Bang creation of the Universe. The rapid initial expansion has slowed over time, and the current amount, the Hubble constant H0 is 71 kilometers per second per megaparsec as determined by results from WMAP (Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe). When Hubble announced his results in 1929, he calculated a constant of almost 500 km/s/Mpc because his estimates for 24 galaxy distances were too small.
FIGURE 4. Hubble's original graph.
In the seven decades since Hubble's discovery, estimates for H0 varied from 50 to 100 km/s/Mpc. However, WMAP's 71 km/s/Mpc seem to be universally accepted as the best estimate.
WMAP carried out extensive measurements of the 2.7250 K CMB (Cosmic Microwave Background) (reference (2)). WMAP astrophysicists estimate the Big Bang occurred 13.7 billion years ago, which ties in nicely with estimates of oldest known stars in globular clusters. They also estimate that the CMB's redshift is 1089. We can use equation (5) to estimate the CMB's velocity:
Or, the CMB is receding from us at 0.9999983 the speed of light.
Astronomical redshifts can have complex mechanisms ranging from the familiar Doppler to the general relativity-based gravitational and cosmological redshifts. In general, the higher z redshifts are due to the cosmological space expansion effect. The most distant galaxy yet detected, in March 2004, has a z of 10. This implies a light travel time of 13.18 billion years (reference (3).
From equation (1), wavelengths increase by a factor of z+1. Since photon energy varies as 1/wavelength, redshifted radiation has reduced energy by a factor of z+1. So distant stellar objects are not only faint due to their distance, but their observed light loses energy by a z+1 factor making the task of recording their spectra very difficult.

Because I get to see stuff like this beauty, every single day. I love cameras, sometimes I think a little bit too much…
It has to be said that there is a very fine line between a passion and an obsession, and to be honest with you, sometimes I am not really sure which one is which. I love cameras, I love what they do and what they are made for. But not just that, I love they way they look, the way they feel in your hands and they way they can make you feel. Some cameras make you feel very very conspicuous, whilst with others you can feel almost invisible. They have a power over the person who holds them to change they way that they act and the way that they interact with people.
And whilst I really love cameras, I always try to keep in mind that they are a tool, a means to producing something better or greater than myself. It is all very well to be wrapped up in cameras, but you must remember to use them.
Still, it is tough when they look so damned good.
I am very lucky to live in Tokyo, there can be no place on earth that is greater for cameras and camera shops, but also it is a place that is great for taking pictures, really a win win situation. Whilst I am not a film vs digital nazi, I am afforded the opportunity to use film on a daily basis because of how cheap it is here. Don't get me wrong, I have owned and used digital cameras for a while and have used the very best of them, but I simply prefer to use film cameras now. I am not going to get mired in a pointless debate about which is better, they both have their merits and their flaws. But, as Japancamerahunter, I am primarily searching for film cameras, or very very special modern classics, so that you lucky people can have them for yourselves.
A fridge recently, notice the absence of food
I am also lucky in that I am basically surrounded by people who share very similar ideas to me, people who are passionate about photography, or cameras, or both. This gives me a wealth of resources to fall back on, and helps me to locate the things that you cannot find everyday. And this is why I do what I do, because I love finding that next thing, that new shop or that great camera, but I also love interacting with the people that I meet everyday. The shop owners, the photographers, and the general public. I really am living what I could call my dream, and I know how lucky I am to be doing it. It may not be much, but it makes me happy.
A cool little store that I found last week, it is almost impossible to see from the street
As long as I can keep on doing this, I will, and I am always happy to hear from people who are interested in Japan or what I do. I you are in Japan or coming to Japan then drop me a line, it is always nice to meet people who share my passion. I really take pride in the idea that I may be able to find you something really special and I always love to hear when someone is happy with the camera that I have supplied for them.
11 comments on "This is why I do what I do…"
Hikari Camera is indeed bloody near impossible to find from the street!!!
Certainly is. It really helps when you know the boss of the place:)
I really agree what you wrote about the feeling old cameras give, I could stare hours in front of them, holding them in my hands, smoothing along the metal and plastic part of them, I know it's a kind of feticism.
"I am afforded the opportunity to use film on a daily basis because of how cheap it is here"
Hi, do you mind letting us in on where you purchase your film? As I found film in Japan to be even more expensive than in Europe, which makes it like 3 times the cost of buying film in the US, and waaaaay more expensive than anywhere else I've ever been in Asia.
When I went to Japan I left a fridge full of Fuji at home cos I couldnt imagine it could cost more in it's home country than elsewhere. I was very wrong.
I was only buying 120 and 4×5 though. Perhaps 35mm is a different story?
Well, compared to the rest of the word I guess it is not all that cheap really. But it is a matter of relative living expenses and per capita earnings etc. I get my film from either yodobashi or online. I have not bought film in the USA, so I cannot really make a comparison. But I have bought it in the UK and it was very expensive there.
Just wanted to say i really enjoy your site and your photos. I'm a film diehard as well and cant get enough of it. Im working on a blog of my own where im going to discuss film cameras, techniques, etc. There is a lot of great information out there, but few sites that have a wide range put together in a cohesive manner, yours would be one of them. Keep up the good work!
Keep on the film Bellamy Hunt!! If you visit Indonesia for photo hunting please contact me!
Damn you Bellamy!! Now you got me completely hooked on those classic camera's :-)
Whilst looking for a cleaning guide I stumbled upon your blog and I love every article. Having a modest collection this site is proving to be a great resource. Keep it up mate!
Hi Bellamy,
Back from my hometown, it is always nice to visit Tokyo. This year was a bit special since I planned to visit some camera shops in Tokyo. I visited Camera no Kimtamura, Hayata Camera and Wonder Photo Shop. They all have own character. My daughter and I were thrilled by these shops since we like digital and film cameras although we could not find Poraloid at Hayata Camera but other film cameras that I am dying to have such as Leica CL and other Leica models, Rolleiflex cameras and many more. Well, only I can do is to save money and get it.
Anyway, I just wanted to share. Thank you for keeping this website always must to go to place.
I like your story. Best wishes to you.
Hey what can you tell us about the Nikon SP rangefinder? Just discovered it online recently. Don't know much about it.
Having spent my whole life, from age 18, working in the commercial photo and film process and hand printing business, I was very torn when digital photography began to take over the pro photography world. The quality of the images improved every month and Photoshop became the standard tool of the pro photographer. My photolab lost established client after client, who needed a skilled printer now when you could do everything digitally? I gracefully bowed out of my studios and lab after 30 years of dedicated skill was seemingly no longer needed. I carried on as a photographer and embraced digital for all the advantages it could offer, but still used film for my own work, when I could. I am so heartened that people like yourself have created this renaissance of interest in film, and I wish you the same enjoyment of photography, digital or film, that I have had my whole like

I have a work from home success story/interview to share with you today from Gina Horkey, who was able to go from $0 to $4,000 per month in just six months as a freelance writer. If you're someone who earns an income through freelance writing but you've been struggling to find a way to take things to that "next level," Gina's story and insight will likely be of interest to you.
Gina has also created a 30-day email self-paced course you can take to follow the exact steps she did to launch your own freelance writing business.
Tell us a little about why and how you got started working from home.
At the beginning of 2014, I knew something had to change career-wise. I had a two-year-old and 6-month-old at the time, and my husband had quit his job to become a SAHD the summer before.
I tried first to figure out how to be happier in my current career as a financial advisor and enrolled in the CFP program (Certified Financial Planner). I took and passed the first course and enrolled in the second of six on investments. It was then that I realized I didn't want to do this for the rest of my life, and if I was honest, not for even the next couple of years.
So I did what any other gal in my position would and turned to my trusty friend Google. I came across Leaving Work Behind and immediately identified with Tom's message. I took a course, launched a website and secured my first client within the next two months. I haven't looked back since!
What are the best things about working from home as a freelance writer?
I spent the rest of 2014 building up my freelance writing business on the side of my full-time job (I'm the breadwinner remember). So it wasn't until the very end of last year that I set out on this road full-time.
I recently wrote a post titled, 5 Decisions I Now Get to Make as the Boss and I think it sums it up nicely! For me, it ultimately comes down to freedom – freedom of choice, of time and of schedule. One of my favorite parts of my day is going in for lunch with my family and then laying both of my now toddlers down for their daily naps. They're only little for so long …
Has freelance writing been fairly lucrative for you? If so, how long did it take you to make a full-time income?
Yes! Full disclosure, my freelance writing business has turned into a freelance business. Meaning I make money by writing, as a virtual assistant and also by coaching others.
I was able to go from $0 to $4,000 per month in six months (while working full-time, I might add). I'm now at the point of out-earning my previous salary a year in! So, yes it is lucrative, but not easy. I busted my butt launching and growing this business!
How difficult was it for you to find jobs that actually paid well – better than your average content mill pays?
Not that difficult. I never went on any content mill sites per se, but have landed clients on Elance and People Per Hour. To tell you the truth, my success is almost 100% through job boards, although many of my new clients come by referral.
My first project paid $7.50 per WordPress theme description and if I remember right they were supposed to be around 150 words, so that's like $.05 per word. I have written for free (to build up samples in the beginning) and have taken on $20 trial projects too. My current minimum rate is $75 per post, although for new clients it's $100.
I will break this rule if I think the project is super fun or there's another reason to do it. I bid each project individually and part of the fee is based on how research intensive it is or how much time I think it'll take.
What are some tips you'd share for landing clients that pay well?
Be confident and believe in yourself. Clients don't know how much to charge, just as much as we don't know what to charge. It's more art than science, so you need to figure out what works for you.
At the end of the day, did you make enough money? And did you have some fun doing it? If not, you might need to charge more!
Lastly, for the ladies out there, pitch like a man! Pitch for any job that is remotely interesting to you or that you're remotely qualified for. Pitch early, pitch often and put yourself out there – you CAN do this!!
What kind of start-up costs are involved when you decide to pursue a career as a freelance writer? Is any formal training or certification needed to get the higher-paying gigs?
I spent less than $200 on my start-up costs and I'll tell you exactly what they were for (before I made a cent from writing):
$95 for my url (www.horkeyhandbook.com) and a year's worth of hosting services
$49 to take Tom Ewer's Paid to Blog course
$7 for a used Yahoo! Style Guide
$20 for my first month's Paid to Blog Jobs job board subscription
My college degree is in Psychology, so I'm not a journalism or English major. If people think you're good enough and will pay you to write, then you're a professional writer. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
If you aren't sure what niche to write in, I do offer a workbook with 200+ writing niches to subscribers to help people get an idea.
Tell us more about your course and how it can really help people get started making a comfortable income as a freelance writer.
I wrote 30 Days or Less to Freelance Writing Success after looking back at the copious notes I took when launching my business. I wanted to beat the definition of insanity and not keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. When I reviewed them, I saw that I had created a blueprint of sorts for other aspiring freelance writers.
Each lesson is succinct and actionable, encouraging you to implement what you've learned immediately. Due to it being self-paced, you could take the entire course in as little as a few days or stretch it out over a few months – it's up to you!
The course lays out the framework (from my personal success story) of how to get your own freelance writing business up and running inside of a month. I have a proven system that worked for me (and others), which takes the guess work and research out for you, allowing you to dive in and take the necessary steps to get a successful new business off the ground.
Thanks Gina for sharing your insight! The course is $147. This is very affordable considering that many eCourses are ten times that amount. It can be done at your own pace, completely through your email. There are also lots of great testimonials from people who have seen an increase in their freelance writing income after taking it, so this would definitely be worth checking out if you're trying hard to earn a good income as a writer but can't seem to get things going in the right direction.
I also want to add that Gina let me look at the course for free prior to doing this post. It is some of the best material I've seen for aspiring freelance writers and I have no doubt that anyone who follows Gina's advice will see results and an increase in income. I don't know if you know, but before I was a blogger, I was a freelance writer — a pretty unsuccessful one! I wish I had had access to this course when I was trying to get started as a writer! There is really nothing held back — she pretty much holds your hand every step of the way.
Go here to purchase the course if this interests you! And if you can't afford it right now, feel free to check Gina's informative blog post on becoming a freelance writer. She's also offering a free list of 200+ writing niches to consider breaking into.
Gina Horkey is a writer for hire, with a background in personal finance. She also offers coaching services and really enjoys helping other freelancers gear up to quit their day jobs and take their side hustles full-time.

VDOT crews are prepared statewide
RICHMOND, Va. – According to weather forecasts, many areas across the state can expect sleet, freezing rain and icy conditions late tonight and early Wednesday. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews have been preparing trucks and equipment for the approaching storm and are ready in the event travel is significantly affected.
VDOT will spot treat certain routes before the storm. Since this storm is expected to begin as freezing rain in some areas, anti-icing chemicals may not be applied ahead of time. VDOT will continue to monitor the track of this storm and adjust resources as needed.
Motorists are advised that roads are likely to be slick and icy during the Wednesday morning commute. Drivers may encounter ice on the roads, particularly on bridges, overpasses, shaded and low-lying areas.
Crews will apply sand and salt as necessary to improve traction on the roads and help melt ice.
Closely monitor weather and road conditions and delay travel or make alternate arrangements when possible. Once on the road, reduce speed, increase following distance and allow plenty of time to reach your destination. If you see a slow-moving snowplow or other vehicles treating roads, slow down and give the operators the right of way for their safety and yours.
VDOT offers the following tips for driving in potentially icy conditions:
- Slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination.
- Keep a safe distance of at least five seconds behind other vehicles and moving equipment.
- If you begin to skid, do not brake. Take your foot off the gas and steer the vehicle in the direction you want to go.
- Check 511 before leaving for the latest road and traffic conditions.
For overall winter weather information, VDOT's website includes frequently asked questions, driving tips and tools for motorists to learn more about VDOT's winter preparedness at http://www.virginiadot.org/travel/snow.asp.
For the latest real-time traffic information or road conditions, call 511 or visit http://www.511virginia.org.

I really just wanted to rename the Folder as I used to add the current Date as part of the File Name whenever I updated that Folder. But, if somehow deleting it will do the trick, I'm game.
I read somewhere in one of the similar topics on here a suggestion to delete the Folder while in Safe Mode. Will that work? The person to whom that was suggested never posted back whether it worked for him / her.
FYI, I did run a manual full avast Scan with Thorough and Search Archives Settings enabled last week and a manual full Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Scan this past weekend and everything came up clean.

It is usually known in any institution who the good voice teachers are, but many freshmen get put with the less good teachers, and because freshmen are eager to learn and want to do well, they trust their teacher no matter their reputation.
In talking about this issue on a hike today with my friend Laura Jo Trexler (who is a wonderful singer actor), she came up with the idea that there should be a mandatory scope exam of the vocal folds at the end of freshman year. It certainly would help shine light on the teachers that overall keep their students healthy, and the ones that overall don't (of course there is always the individual exception).
The students would see if they have any injury, which one, get treatment for it and see a vocal health specialist. If realize that other students in their studios have issues as well while students from other studios don't, they can make the connection between their vocal health and their voice lessons faster than if they wait to audition for grad school to hear from other teachers that they need to start learning how to sing pretty much all over again.
Do you think that a mandatory scope would help students find and stay with good teachers? What other solutions are there to help young singers realize if their voice lessons are helping them or hurting them?

Just because you don't go to school yet doesn't mean you can't develop the skills to join the Free Jumping Revolution. A structured program of activities for Junior Jumpers aged between three and five, miniBOUNCE is designed to get kids bouncing safely while having heaps of fun.
miniBOUNCE Program
The program involves a series of fun games, activities and exercises just for kids. With limited 'big bouncing' activities, the toddlers' program focuses on basic movement and control on trampolines, allowing children to improve cognitive functioning and motor skills, whilst improving strength, balance and agility.
When the time comes to tackle the big trampolines alone, the young children will understand safe jump practices. Our miniBOUNCE hosts have been hand-picked for this program because they're highly qualified, they genuinely love working with kids, and they deliver an exceptional experience that equips small jumpers with the skills to stay safe as they work towards the higher-flying trampolines.

It is hard to decide what is most remarkable about the new chapel at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Conn., that will be dedicated on Sunday: the art, the architecture or the idea of such a chapel in the first place.
First, the art. The Rev. Marko Ivan Rupnik is a Jesuit priest and artist from Slovenia who founded the Centro Aletti, a place of study, work and prayer established in Rome to build bridges between faith and art and among Christians of long-divided rites in Eastern and Central Europe. Visiting the center in 1993, Pope John Paul II was so taken by Father Rupnik's paintings, which seemed to fire the forms of ancient icons with intense modern color, that he invited the priest to create mosaics for a papal chapel in the Vatican's Apostolic Palace.
Completed six years later, the papal Redemptoris Mater chapel reveals Father Rupnik's progression from apprentice to master in the medium. The wall behind the altar, done under the direction of an experienced mosaicist, has a traditional, restrained aura. But the side walls and especially the rendering of the Second Coming of Christ on the rear wall break out into vivid colors, contemporary story-telling and unconventional materials.
Father Rupnik has brought these gifts and techniques to Sacred Heart, a 6,000-student university founded in 1963 by the Roman Catholic bishop of Bridgeport, Conn., but led and staffed by laypeople. On three walls of a Eucharistic chapel that seats 50 for daily Mass and on the 44-foot-by-28-foot wall behind the altar in the main chapel, which seats 500, Father Rupnik has created dramatic images drawing on Romanesque, Byzantine and early Gothic idioms but rendered here in a distinctly original manner.
He has used mosaic's familiar tesserae, small pieces of colored glass, but also tiny bits and large chunks of granite, marble, quartz and hand-molded terra cotta. Flat squares of gold glass are surrounded by shiny gold shards. Swooping lines of gold, blue and ivory create harmony amid the jagged edges and contrasting textures. At the feet of the three Magi on one wall of the Eucharistic chapel are slices of Connecticut shale Father Rupnik gathered from roadside construction sites to establish a local connection.Continue reading the main story
Astonishingly, the nearly 2,000 square feet of mosaic were installed in 12 days by Father Rupnik and 15 co-workers, including Eastern Orthodox Christians and Eastern- and Latin-rite Catholics. They began each day with a liturgy, worked until lunch (the contract specified that wine be served) and then until a late dinner. They had the finished faces of two dozen biblical figures shipped in from Rome, but assembled over 200,000 pieces by hand.
"It was a remarkable, spiritual two weeks," recalls David Coppola, the university's assistant vice president.
Brad Prestbo, the architect who has overseen the project for the Sasaki Associates firm in Boston, said the masons and tile setters on the job "were in awe of the craftsmanship."
Where the chapel's art is overtly dramatic, its architecture is subtle. The design emerged from reflection on the Second Vatican Council's themes of the church as the pilgrim people of God and as engaged in dialogue with the contemporary world. The roof and one wall use different tones of copper to suggest the folds and fabric of a nomadic tent, a note repeated in the main chapel's ceiling. And the clear glass of the large, inviting narthex, or entry space, opens the chapel to the rest of the campus.
The exterior walls have finely detailed panels that faintly echo the stacks in the library across the central quadrangle. These walls are inscribed with the Corporal Works of Mercy (feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, and so on) that the church draws from Chapter 25 of Matthew's Gospel.
The chapel's windows are angled into these walls so that at night the buttery limestone will be washed with both a warm glow from within and the colors of the not-yet-installed stained glass, which will, in turn, wash over the interior walls in the day.
But why a new $17 million chapel in the first place, and not just a chapel but one elaborately conceived in specific theological terms and prominently located in the center of the campus?
That is something you normally find on the nation's oldest, now often completely secular, campuses. But does it make sense when students typically avow that they are striving to be spiritual but certainly not religious?
This week, Dr. Coppola noted aspects of the chapel in keeping with this spiritual seeking: its motifs of pilgrimage and dialogue as well as the interreligious meditation garden. "Definitely a Catholic chapel, but also a place for people all along the pilgrimage," he said. Students, he felt confident, would remember it long after graduation as "a place of spirituality, doubt, belief, learning."
Anthony J. Cernera, the president of Sacred Heart — a layman and a theologian — did not disagree, but said the chapel was a challenge to the "spiritual but not religious" catchphrase.
"It would be a terrible mistake to fall into the trap of accepting that dichotomy," he said. "The best way to be spiritual in the Catholic tradition is to celebrate the Eucharist and to use all the signs of the faith."
If the leadership at Sacred Heart does not buy the spiritual versus religious dichotomy, they also do not seem to be paralyzed by the inclusive versus exclusive dichotomy. Their university, they know, is widely recognized for promoting Christian-Jewish and ecumenical understanding.
And perhaps, as Dr. Cernera added, "the fact that we are lay-led may give us the confidence we can build a building as beautiful as this and do it proudly and gratefully."Continue reading the main story

Memories of the great outdoors linger for Penguinsby Dan Rosen
"You really get the feel of what football players play in front of every week. Looking around and seeing all those fans in the stands, there was no better feeling, for sure. It was unbelievable how many fans came out for that game with how cold it was and the snow falling. It was a picture-perfect moment."
-- Jordan Staal
It was hardly a hero's welcome for Sidney Crosby and Co., but the fun-filled reaction the Pittsburgh Penguins got from that snowy and historical day in upstate New York nearly one year ago is one of many great memories they have from the 2008 NHL Winter Classic.
"I was surprised, but we thought it was pretty funny," Penguins defenseman Rob Scuderi told NHL.com of the snowball incidents. "It was better than them throwing rocks."
Just being part of the inaugural Winter Classic would have been enough for the Penguins. That they got two points in a terrific 2-1 shootout victory, capped by Crosby himself with his Hollywood finish, made Jan. 1, 2008 even greater.
"It was all new," Penguins center Jordan Staal told NHL.com, "and pretty spectacular."
As a result of last season's spectacle in Buffalo, this season's version of the NHL Winter Classic, an Original Six clash between the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings at Chicago's Wrigley Field, has a lot to live up to.
"It was a great experience and it was great for the game," Penguins forward Tyler Kennedy told NHL.com. "That's what we need."
Staal said his most vivid memory of the day was looking up from the temporary rink created on the Buffalo Bills' home field and seeing the NHL-record crowd of 71,217 in living color.
You heard about all the ticket sales and the buzz about the game. Seeing it live was totally different.
"You really get the feel of what football players play in front of every week," Staal said. "Looking around and seeing all those fans in the stands, there was no better feeling, for sure. It was unbelievable how many fans came out for that game with how cold it was and the snow falling. It was a picture-perfect moment."
Scuderi said the lasting picture in his mind has nothing to do with the game.
"For me it was when we came out for the practice (the day before)," he said. "I have never seen anything like that, so the first time I saw it was pretty special for me. I mean, I hadn't been outdoors and playing in I don't know how long, probably 15 or 16 years. That was the fun part for me, and besides that it was coming out right before the game and seeing all the people in the stadium."
Kennedy's memory probably is right in line with what most every fan, at least of the Penguins, can recall about the game.
"It was great to win," added defenseman Kris Letang, "and that was the best memory I have from it."
Of course, like everyone else who saw it live or highlights on whatever network or Web site, they all remember the snow. Mother Nature turned a regular-season hockey game into a holiday card for the NHL.
For the players, the ice wasn't the greatest, but surprisingly perfect nonetheless.
"It was the perfect amount so you could still play," Scuderi said. "You couldn't ask for anything more. The whole three to four hours, it was just an awesome event."
This time around, the Penguins will have to give up their pre-game naps to see the game at Wrigley Field. They play in Boston that night, but don't be shocked if a few of them are glued to their hotel televisions anyway.
"I hope those guys enjoy it as much as we did because it was a great experience," Scuderi said. "I hope it has just as much success this year as it did last year. I enjoyed everything about it."
Even the snowball shower on the way in and on the way out?
"That was pretty good, too," Staal said. "Some guys wanted to (get out and start a snowball fight). I know that. That was pretty funny."
NHL.com Staff Writer Adam Schwartz contributed to this story.

Dance preview: Rambert
- Kelly Apter
- 15 November 2016
Ghost Dances returns to the stage 13 years after it was last seen
It may be the oldest dance company in Britain, but nobody could accuse Rambert of being stuck in the past. Moving forward, re-inventing itself and bringing in fresh talent has always been its modus operandi. Yet underpinning all that new creativity is a tradition and heritage everyone associated with the company is fiercely proud of – no one more so than Christopher Bruce.
At the age of 71, Bruce has been connected with Rambert in one way or another for 57 years, from training at the school to dancing in the company to choreographing and serving as artistic director. But of all the wonderful pieces Bruce has created over the years, none has captured the public's imagination quite so much as Ghost Dances.
Choreographed in 1981, as Bruce's reflection on the appalling treatment of ordinary people during the 1973 Chilean coup, the work also references Mexico's Day of the Dead festival. Set to haunting South American music, the piece returns to the stage 13 years after it was last seen, as part of Rambert's current UK tour.
Dance fans are unanimous in their praise for Ghost Dances, but to what does Bruce himself attribute its enduring appeal? 'If I knew that, I'd make it happen every time,' he laughs. 'When you make a piece, you're using a combination of your instinct, imagination and craft – but a lot of research always goes into anything I make. With Ghost Dances the inspiration was Joan Jara and her book An Unfinished Song, about the torture and murder of her husband Victor during the coup, that was the germ of this piece.'
Chilean singer and director, Victor Jara's tragic death was in 1973, but as Bruce says, Ghost Dances retains its resonance: 'Even though I set the piece in the Andes, any number of countries have been subjugated by political oppression. And it could be just as relevant today to the situation in the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe, the theme is universal – it's about the innocent people who are caught up in it.'
Edinburgh Festival Theatre, Wed 23–Fri 25 Nov; then touring.

Last week my sister Hope took my mother Esme - currently in cycle number 4 of twelve chemotherapy cycles - to the cinema.
Of all of us, Hope is the offspring who has been doing more of the practical stuff than anyone else. She is the one who accompanies Esme to the hospital every second Wednesday; she is the one who sits with her while they attach the bottle full of drugs to the PICC line in Esme's arm; indeed, she is the one who sat with her and held her hand while they inserted the PICC line - not a pleasant experience, for the patient or the witness. It's fair to say, then, that Hope is loving, solicitous and if anything over-protective of our Ma.
So there they were in the cinema foyer, waiting in a queue to buy their tickets. Now, Esme has been experiencing a vicious little side-effect called 'peripheral neuropathy'. This is when something happens to the nerve endings in the fingers which makes metal and cold things extremely painful to touch. Opening the fridge, for instance, is a nightmare (she has to use a washing up glove). That morning they had successfully negotiated the car door and got Esme to the cinema relatively unscathed. She was feeling weak, however, and couldn't stand up for long.
All of sudden, Esme realises she has left her spectacles - essential for proper viewing of the movie - in Hope's car. Hope, who has just bought an ice-cold bottle of water for herself, insists on going back to the car for them while Esme waits in the foyer. It's pouring with rain, the film is about to start, and she knows at Esme's pace they'll never make it there and back in time.
Give me the bottle, I'll hold it while you're gone, says Esme to Hope.
No! barks my sister. You mustn't touch the bottle!
Oh I'm sure it'll be OK, says my mum.
NO! You can't have the bottle! says Hope. I'll get your glasses as soon as I've got the tickets. Now, GO over there, SIT down, and DON'T TOUCH THE WATER!
Esme, who knows that she goes all funny if left to stand up for any length of time, duly does as she is told.
By this time the queue has moved on and Hope finds herself at the head of it. She looks up at the box office assistant, only to find the woman watching her, aghast. Clearly, she believes she has just witnessed a nasty case of elderly abuse and is wondering what to do about it.
She only wanted a drink of water, the woman says, accusingly.

As we get closer to Celebration shows all over the mission (and here in the Stake) we feel like the days are on hyper-drive. We have so little time left on our mission and still feel that there is sooooo much to do!
For our YSA activity in February, the theme was building testimonies, but they haven't had a dance since the first activity when we arrived in the mission field. So they decided to have a devotional before the dance and have everyone walk with (local phrase meaning bring it with you) their favorite scripture. Elder Monson and I met with Bishop Moore in San Fernando to design our decorating plan for the building.
After the plan was finished, we went home to put it into action. The overhead fans, essential in West Indies chapels, could not be obstructed. So we had two window walls and the front and back to decorate.
Two straight days making tissue paper flowers! Small and huge ones.
The secret: Youtube and "how to make giant tissue paper flowers." Add some spray glue and glitter in the centers.
The adorable Sister Missionaries helped us, as well as the Bateman's, senior missionaries living in San Fernando and serving as Branch President in Point Fortin. It basically took the whole day, but turned out gorgeous. They loved it!
The front when we were finished.
Both walls looked like this
The entrance to the chapel. These darling girls were the first to come. The second from both sides are brand new members of just a few months. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming to them.
We had 72 people there, and all had a marvelous time. The young man in the light blue shirt on the right came to sit by me and told me he had been investigating the church with the missionaries for quite a long time, but decided that night that he wanted to be baptized and invited us to come to his baptism. He told me that the Spirit he felt when the YSA reps talked about their favorite scriptures and the love and good feelings he experienced there with all the other young people convinced him that he wanted to be a part of this church. It was awesome. What a wonderful day! We love our assignment!
All lined up to go in for the refreshments.
The YSA's organized all the food and did a wonderful job.
We had dance cards, and all those that had theirs filed with different names put it into a drawing. The winner got gift certificates to TGIF for a date.
We cleaned up, and as we drove away at 1:00 am, this was the scene at the end of the street. There were so many people in the bar and so many outside the bar, drunk and drinking. The stark contrast of the complete lack of standards in the culture here and the wonderful young people that are striving to live lives of goodness and obedience to the commandments of God was dramatic.
It was a short night! We got home at 2:30 am and got up at 6:00 am to be at the baptism of a dear sister that we have been able to teach and visit in their home with the missionaries. This family is amazing. They have been investigating the church for quite awhile, and we were blessed to be a tiny part of it. Sister Frontin asked me to speak at her baptism on The Holy Ghost. That was such a special honor. The Frontin family is so impressive and we just heard that Brother Frontin has set a baptismal date now, too.
They will have a powerful impact on the growth of the church in Trinidad. Since I first started working on this post weeks ago, Brother Frontin has been baptized. We were able to go to his baptism too, and then had the family and their missionaries over to dinner. It was so sweet. After the missionaries left, I asked Bro. Frontin what made him certain to move forward to baptism. He shared an amazing story. He said that from the first time he met with the missionaries, he knew deep down that what they were saying was true, but he didn't want to know, wouldn't open his heart to accept it. The day came that he knew that he was ready to be honest with himself. They both told us how much they love Elder Hatch who had been teaching them through three sets of missionaries. Bro. Frontin asked Elder Monson to speak at his baptism and as part of that, he promised him that though he had been baptized previously, he would feel the power of true priesthood authority that would make this experience different. Bro. Frontin told us after dinner, that when he was baptized, he was by himself in the baptismal changing room and just bawled. He told of a physical weight that he had been carrying for years that was his past sins. He said that as he went under the water and was raised again, he felt an incredible lightness! The weight was completely gone; he felt so overwhelmed with the love of the Savior who had picked up his weight and was carrying it for him that he was overcome for quite a time before he could come out of that room. The Spirit confirmed his words. We were so thankful he shared that experience with us.
We got on a plane later the same day and headed off to Barbados for their Celebration. The plane was delayed, (SURPRISE!!) and we barely made it to the show, missed the first few performances, but were thrilled with the show on February 22nd.
Their show was composed entirely of youth! It was awesome!
Here is the amazing Celebration Committee that led the way in the West Indies mission with the first Celebration show. It was held the same night as the St. Vincent show which we heard great reports about from the Birds. They said there were many non-member participants.
Back home in Trinidad, meeting with our awesome NorthWest and Central Zones of missionaries for whom we are responsible to inspect their apartments, go to their district meetings, comfort and assist them, repair their clothes, provide medicine and needed items for their apartments, and make them feel supported and loved! They are! We feel so privileged to know and love them - we are inspired by their dedication and obedience.
It is so wonderful to be back home in Trinidad - here are some warm and fuzzy sights in paradise. Aren't you dying to go to…"Sprang returns D cabin on March 30th???
I think this is particularly comforting to know that our home island provides best value guaranteed - we can always feel safe and protected. We have not seen one of these anywhere else!
There is a living sculpture element here, too, that is inspiring.
Freshly slaughtered. They do not feature that at Harmons, as cool as they think they are……...
When we inspected the apartments of our missionaries, we were certain, as we walked into this new apartment in our central zone, that they had adequate electricity. I mean they are hooked up!
Our wonderful central zone! Transfers are every six weeks. We take lunch to them once a transfer and inspect their apartments. They look forward to the contest and to the prize! The competition is fierce for the winning plates of sweet rolls. They all get one, but the winners get a plate of 8. We can have as many 1st place winners as possible. Here are the winners for both of our zones this transfer. Aren't they adorable!
The winners! I emailed these pictures to their moms from district meeting. I would have been proud to get this from my kids when they were missionaries!
Elder Felix on the far right is leaving us this transfer. He was the winning apartment three transfers in a row so we developed a special award just for his great effort! We love this first missionary to serve from Saint Lucia!
Our entire northwest zone right before they separated at transfers. Wonderful young people!
This was a crazy coincidence. Elder Monson was visiting with some of our darling missionaries at the cottage meeting fireside which President and Sister Mehr held, and he asked Sister Wilson what her grandpa's name was, since his mother's maiden name was Wilson. She said, "Theron Hudson Wilson!" That is his mom's brother so she is the daughter of his first cousin, Kevin! Small world. He had fun sending this picture to his cousin who did not even know we are on a mission in the West Indies! Another funny association is that people often ask her if she is my daughter because she is tall and has curly hair!
Carnival came, and we were gone on Celebration travels. Most of Carnival is Mardi Gras on steroids - (the missionaries are on lock down) but there are some amazing aspects of Carnival like the steel pan and costume competitions all over the country. One of our friends in San Fernando, Gloria, and her son, Marlin, and his wife, Laura, and their son, Antonio, all participate in the family business. Her story is an inspiring, typical one, but with an unusual outcome. Marlin was born and his father left soon after. Like so many women here, she was left with a baby and no way to provide for herself and her child. She is uniquely talented and began making costumes for the country-wide carnival contests. This year she won King and Queen costumes, plus first and third place. She has done so well over the years (see the trophies) that she has been able to provide the beautiful home that she and her family live in. She is resourceful, works really hard and has provided a wonderful life for herself and her family. She's an impressive woman.
Here she is in front of her home with her grandson and son just coming out of their house. She also planted and tends all the beautiful roses in her garden!
We went to her house with the Rays and had a delightful tour.
We love our friends the Rays!
The costumes are twenty five feet wide and just as high and they wear them.
Where's Waldo?
After viewing many amazing pieces, she showed us videos of the competition and winning costumes she has created from past years. Astounding. One had fireworks coming out of it!
Just one final shout-out for all the people our age who are hesitant to serve senior missions. One of the strongest reasons to serve is simply your lives and choices - which are rare in so many cultures in the world. A woman came up to us as we walked out of a recent baptism and asked us how long we had been married. When we told her 40 years, she said that we are her inspiration, that it really is possible to believe in eternal marriage. We were just holding hands and she told us, "It means so much to me to see you together; it gives me hope of things the Gospel promises in eternity, but which we seldom see in our culture."

Route Summary | Ascent Notes (2)
Premier Sponsor:
Description:Located across the road from the warm up traverse problem, this was one of the first hard problems put up at Smuggler's Notch (hence the name) and seems to be a favorite first point of attack for talented visiting climbers. Look for the trademark prow that overhangs about 60 degrees and is visible from the road just before the hairpin turn. Start on a small set of crimps and pull up to a painful quartz crystal lined pocket. From here either match and dyno up the right side (V?, two ascents, hard) or pull off left to a small sloper and up the arete.(F.A., Bill Patton, '98). ***

Last Updated Oct 6, 2011 7:29 PM EDT
The tagline blew up in social media recently due to the popularity of a Tumblr blog which asked people to write their stories on a piece of paper, photograph themselves and upload it. The blog was started in August but in the last few days hundreds of photos have been published.
In the same way that in the 1960s the personal became political, "We Are the 99 Percent" makes personal finance political. The visual effect on the blog's archive page is impressive: An army of unemployed, under-employed and economically pressed people venting all at once, often with impressive penmanship. Each entry ends with the phrase, "I am the 99 percent." A typical example reads:
I make $50k a year and have to live in my parent's basement to afford child support and my continuing education student loans.Four themes have emerged from contributions to the blog:
- Even people with jobs are finding they do not make enough to get by.
- Student debt is crushing the well-educated.
- The difference between poverty and success often depends on the size of your medical bills.
- Their complaints are non-ideological.

Adam Levine has said that serving as a mentor on The Voice was a "humbling" experience for him.
The Maroon 5 frontman told Piers Morgan that he realized while working on the NBC show that he might not have been able to beat eventual winner Javier Colon had he himself been competing.
"It was a very humbling experience. I'm a fine singer. I have a decent voice and I think I have a distinct voice, but I don't have a belty voice like Javier," he said on Piers Morgan Tonight this week.
Levine went on to share his thoughts on some current chart artists, predicting that Adele would win in "two seconds... she is ridiculous, so good... I don't think I'd be a ringer [to win] but Adele would be."
The rocker also told Morgan that Justin Bieber would have a chance of winning, saying: "Great singer. That kid can sing."
> The Voice coaches integral to show success, says NBC
> Javier Colon wants Cee Lo, Adam Levine collaboration
Levine then pointed out that succeeding in the music industry is no longer just about how you sound, pointing out other facts like appearance and likeability.
"It's not always about being an amazing singer. There are a lot of other things; songs, production, the styling of who you are as a person; whether people like you. There are so many things, especially now in the wake of social media taking over and becoming so prevalent. They want to love you too."
The Voice wrapped its first season in June, with Levine's contestant Colon beating Dia Frampton, Vicci Martinez and Beverly McClellan in the live finale.
NBC has since confirmed that Levine and fellow mentors Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton will all return to The Voice for its second season next year.
Maroon 5 are currently on a summer tour of the US. Full details are available on their official website.

2015 Nepal Earthquake - communities still struggling/
Over a year and half after the earthquake of 2015 communities are still struggling to get access to clean water, grow food and rebuild their houses and schools.
The earthquake struck many of the communities we work with in Nepal. And as you would expect the people who suffer most from these disasters are those with least power and influence.
Chance For Change was able to act quickly after the earthquake hit, and through our friends and supporters raised £10,000 of funds. We were able to bring emergency food and shelter to the poorest villages, too remote to be reached by larger NGO and Government initiatives.
As the reconstruction goes on Chance For Change Field Motivators continue to work to help remote villages like Ghyampesal and Massel access NGO and Government water and agriculture programmes- as poor roads and lack of political influence prevent these villages being reached.
Children are still attending school in makeshift tents or not at all as so many schools were destroyed in the earthquake. We are currently raising funds to rebuild their schools, so children have a safe place to learn and continue their education. If you would like to know more about our earthquake reconstruction and recovery, or would like to offer support please get in touch.Read More

text: Walid, I just wanted to mention genetic algorithms; control engineers use them e.g. in chemical plants to dynamically optimize variable inputs (pressure in a pipe, temperature, ingredient mixes...) for measurable outputs (valuable gunk at the end), the point being that the inter-relations among all the inputs, at the level of precision possible to the machinery, is too esoteric for an exact qualitative model. I think that managing diverse simultaneous applications (that each flourish in their own mix of bandwidth, cache, numbers of threads on cores &c) where a mix of hardware is available in a heterogeneous cluster, might be a similar challenge. So if someone were interested in trying a GA for dynamic performance optimization of long-running applications with mixed available hardware I'd be glad to hear of it and I'd want to help.
