(Roughly) Visualizing Camera Coverage Area Using A... Ford Ranger?
Playing around with the incomparable lens calculator in Metric Mode I happened upon this equality:
When using a 1/3" sensor*, if the distance to subject (measured in meters) = focal length (measured in millimeters) then the HFOV is ~5m (4.8m to be exact). Could this simple equality be turned into a rough estimation rule of thumb? Your thoughts and please feel to be as critical as I deserve. Here goes:
A Ford Ranger (Regular Cab),
is also about ~5m (4.8m) long. Therefore the image frame would be completely filled (across) by the truck's profile if one were using a:
- 10mm lens when the truck is 10m away
- 25mm lens when the truck is 25m away
- 80mm lens when the truck is 80m away
Easy to remember. Said differently, when using a 1/3" sensor, if the number of meters to the subject is the same as the number of millimeters in the lens length, then the HFOV at that distance is always the size of a Ranger.
Ok, big deal you say, what good is that when my focal length and distance to subject are not equal, like 99% of the time? Because you can still get a rough idea of the area covered by the lens/camera very rapidly, and for multiple data points. It's also a good sanity check that you didn't make an entry error using a calculator.
So let's say you want to visualize the near coverage of a 15mm lens out into a parking lot**, one could imagine a Ranger traversely parked 15m from the lens. Make a triangle, starting at the lens, with two lines diverging to each bumper of the truck and then continuing to the horizon. Everything inside the triangle would be covered by the lens/camera.
Why a Ranger anyway, why not a Bronco? Because a Ranger is the same horizontal size in meters, 4.8, as a 1/3" sensor is in mm.
*Other formats have slightly different constants. For instance a 1/2.7" sensor would be 5.37M.
**I'm sure a large number of members can visualize camera/lens coverage areas precisely without the use of such devices, I'm not one of them, yet.
Years ago I had a "prototype" business card design that had a set of tick marks on the back. The idea was you could hold it at arms length and fit a car in between a set of the ticks, and underneath was printed a rough range guide. Essentially the same idea as what you describe here. It would be useful for doing outdoor longish-range camera guides (mostly what I was doing at the time), and made my business card something worth keeping handy.
I never ended up getting them printed in a large quantity, but it might be neat to revive that idea.

We believe that humanity begins in children and their realization of how valuable their actions, words, or even a smile can be toward individual growth and to the everyday well being of the people surrounding them. In memory of Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp, we follow through our mission of carrying out the positive impact she had made on so many people by helping children and families who have also made a positive impact on the people around them.
Since 2001, we have organized a children's educational scholarship program in honor of Aubrey Rose. Aubrey made such a difference in many people's lives within her three short years here on this earth. To honor her and her achievements, we base our scholarships on a childs' kindness and willingness to give back to our community. Our scholarships are for those students who have a compassionate heart unlike other scholarships that are based on academics or athletic ability.
How do you become a recipient of an Aubrey Rose Hollenkamp Scholarship? Scholarship applicants submit an essay and are judged by a panel consisting of the student's school staff members, Aubrey's Grandparents, George and Nancy Frondorf, Aubrey's parents, Jerry and Nancy Hollenkamp and Aubrey's sister and brother, Carly and Spencer.
In 2007, we decided to reward those scholarship recipients and their families with the "Above and Beyond" Award which signifies those that have stayed connected with us and continually help us out after their freshman year of school. We're very honored to have some shining stars amongst our scholarship families and we wanted to reward them with a $1000 for their next year of school.
Here is the breakdown of how many scholarships have been given out to date:
|2 Scholarships for 2001
|2 Scholarships to date
|5 Scholarships for 2002

Scholarship Reception
The scholarships are given out to the students at their graduation or their awards ceremonies where the parents are invited. This is extremely important piece of our scholarship presentation so that the parents are surprised along with the scholarship recipient to hear their name being recognized for them having a kind-heart. A scholarship reception is held each year to honor the students.

Odds: Monday – Economy class, Ebert.
Posted by Alison Willmore on
Gawker reports of travel shabbiness at the possibly troubled Weinstein Company: "Everyone who's headed to the Cannes film festival to support the many projects they've got in competition there, including the Quentin Tarantino half of Grindhouse, will be flying to France economy-class." Not to worry, for those concerned: Harvey, at least, will be taking his private plane.
Which reminds us — we will be going to Cannes after all, at least for the first half, stay here and keep hitting refresh until some festival coverage shows up at this blog. Maybe we'll even sit next to a Weinstein exec on the flight over, from whom we can cadge some Xanax!
Roger Ebert writes:
A beautiful bouquet of flowers was delivered to the house the other day. A handwritten note paid compliments to my work and wished me a speedy recovery.
Who was it from? A friend? A colleague? An old classmate? The card was signed, "Your Least Favorite Movie Star, Rob Schneider.â€
Saints preserve us.
Ebert, whose review of "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" provided the title of his new book, "Your Movie Sucks," calls the gesture "a reminder that in the great scheme of things, a review doesn't mean very much."
Strawberry Saroyan at the Telegraph's Seven Magazine interviews Roger Corman:
When told that this article doesn't have a specific peg to hang it on,
the quick-talking businessman in him emerges. We could plug his latest
creature-from-the-deep movie, he suggests. Corman tells me he recently
met an executive from the Sci-Fi channel to discuss the new picture.
Its prequel was something called Dinocroc (tagline: 'It feeds on
fear'), and the executive wanted another film along the same lines.
Corman suggested Dinocroc 2 as a title, but it was vetoed. It turns out
that sequels in name aren't as heavily watched as sequels marketed more
'I said immediately, "Did I say Dinocroc 2? I meant Supergator!" '
Corman laughs merrily. Supergator, he tells me, is having its final
special effects added and will air on the channel later this month.
In the new issue of Film Comment, Brynn White praises Lee Marvin: "Marvin could go from a snarl to a laugh in a split second, and mean both of them equally. In fact, sneers and laughs generally went hand in hand."
Lorenza Muñoz and Claudia Eller at the LA Times report that Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuarón and Alejandro González Iñárritu are shopping around an "all-or-nothing, five-picture deal" that includes two other, lesser-known directors and at least two Spanish-language films. Leverage that good year, yo.
At the Observer, Mark Kermode writes about the joys of UK-set horror:
It's significant that the long-awaited sequel An American Werewolf in Paris proved to be a total flop, mainly, I think, because once you cross the English channel, who cares whether there's a monster on the prowl? Over in Europe, anything goes; it's only here in uptight Britain that the magic formula of horror and humbug really makes sense.
And Amy Taubin reviews "Zoo" at Artforum and agrees: not enough horse-fucking.

Just a ten years back, there is this popular thought in the way 2nd wedding must be celebrated. Folks say that couples must not be extravagant and formal in celebrating their 2nd wedding, most primarily if the bride or the groom was divorced from his or her initial partner. Next wedding must be celebrated quietly, in a smaller sized and intimate bash.
Today, on the other hand, this is thought does not keep real to many of us. Partners who will rejoice their Next Wedding must not conceal their emotions and love for each individual other. They could rejoice their Next Wedding in any way they want it to be celebrated. Be it an intimate or silent one or extravagant and formal the way they have celebrated their initial wedding.
Really don't think what other men and women would say about you becoming too extravagant for a Next Wedding. If you and your groom have the funds to finance a feast wedding, then do as you you should! It is not every day that you will uncover a individual who would make your heart conquer the 2nd time. And getting the real Mr. Appropriate for you (which you failed to uncover from your initial partner) is plenty of a purpose to host a feast.
But do you know that Next Wedding also has its checklist of Etiquette? So, if you want to stay away from observing lifted eyebrows on your wedding working day, check out to know some basic Next Wedding Etiquette and stay away from committing Next Wedding Etiquette blunders.
— Next Wedding Etiquette – How to Announce Your Engagement
If you have children from your initial marriage, getting married for the 2nd time will be a little bit hard for them. So, even prior to you announce your Next Wedding to men and women that you know, just take the time to sit down and speak to your children initial about your strategies to remarry. This is the most essential Next Wedding Etiquette that you will have to don't forget. If you failed to inform your little ones in progress about your strategies of remarrying, you are taking your 2nd marriage in an uneven road even prior to you, your 2nd husband, his little ones and your little ones live in one roof. Next Wedding Etiquette necessitates you inform your mother and father of your engagement prior to you inform your ex-partner. If you don't have any children with your ex-partner, you would not violate 2nd wedding etiquette if you will not inform you ex-partner about your engagement.
— Next Wedding Etiquette – Wedding Gown Issue
Lilac or lavender is the coloration of wedding gown for widow brides who are getting married for the 2nd time. But this Next Wedding Etiquette is not obligatory widow brides could dress in any coloration of wedding gown that they desire to dress in.
This truth holds real to divorced brides who will be obtaining her 2nd wedding. Divorced brides can dress in white wedding gown. But it would be finest if they would depart out the veil and tiara. A flower headress would be the finest alternative.
— Next Wedding Etiquette – Really should You Invite Your Ex?
When organizing for your 2nd wedding, you must checklist the men and women who you would like to invite. Your groom must have his very own checklist too. Then you and the groom must sit down to speak about who must and must not be on the checklist of visitors. This is the proper Etiquette for Next Wedding.
For Next Wedding Etiquette, it is suggested that previous in-rules and ex-spouses must not be penned on the visitor checklist even if you are on very good conditions with them. Your visitors could experience a little bit awkward about them.
Even if your groom agrees on the notion of inviting your ex-in-rules and ex-partner (just to demonstrate that he has not any terrible blood for his ex), you must not agree into it. You will not know what would happen if the previous and existing in-rules and spouses satisfy. It is improved to be safe than sorry. The proper Next Wedding Etiquette for this circumstance is to invite your ex-partner instead for a dinner immediately after the wedding and honeymoon.

Writing list of concerts you have been to on social media may seem harmless, but serious security concerns have been raised about the latest game to go viral online.
Facebook's most recent online craze follows the likes of the Blue Whale Game and the ice bucket challenge, but it seems it could pose a risk to your online safety.
In the game, Facebook users share the first 10 concerts they have been too, sometimes including one fake gig.
But "first gig you went to" is often one of the security questions which banks and other organisations ask when setting up an account. Revealing that information online, even in an innocent online post, could make you more vulnerable to hackers.
Speaking to the BBC, cyber-security expert Prof Alan Woodward, from the University of Surrey, said: "I wouldn't do it. But it's difficult to tell people not to take part, as it is part of their social interaction and has become the norm.
"What I would say is to think very carefully about what you are putting into the public domain."
People are warned not to use social media to advertise their holidays, allowing criminals to know which houses could be empty.
There had been some suggestions that the concert question had been set up by the criminal underworld, but Prof Woodward dismissed that theory.
Experts have warned social media users to steer clear of such games and avoid posting information that could open themselves up for hacking.

One day a few years ago, I realised I was eating sausages because that's what my son liked at the time, but I remembered that I actually didn't like sausages. Well very rarely, they had to be good. So what am I doing eating this? How can someone who knows about health and fitness slip into bad habits? I can list as many excuses or "reasons" as anyone. Lack of time; juggling work, home and volunteer commitments; long days; access to the shops and food variety due to location; tiredness; lack of inspiration about cooking because it is a relentless task and last but not least, a husband working long hours. I do admire single mums and those with husbands or partners who work away as I don't know how they do it.
My inspirational kitchen extraordinaire mum friend (IKEMF) says that she runs her house like a military camp, and because her husband worked away a lot, she dedicated much time and energy to making sure that a healthy kitchen ruled in her house. With a personal training background behind her, we are going to benefit greatly at The Pregnancy Centre from her food sense and inspirations, and we look forward to bringing you some interesting and 'easy' recipe suggestions in the coming months. We are both dedicated to helping new mums from the start of motherhood get and stay on top of the continual demands that come as children grow, of putting food onto bench, table and plate and into hungry mouths.
As the kilos can sneak up for unsuspecting mums, sometimes not until there is more to juggle, how can we be purposeful about what WE are eating, and not let the quality of our own food slip. Sometimes too, we can swap quality for quantity and find ourselves eating things of less quality and taste to us as quicker food preparation is needed. So for me, somehow, five years later after my second child, I found myself eating sausages and bread instead of a nice homemade curry for dinner! How did that happen? Now I can't change things back and reteach my children to eat curry straight away, but if I had been purposeful back then, only if I had known what I know now, I would have introduced it earlier. My IKEMF however has been much wiser in this department, and has children who eat most anything she puts on their plate now that they are older!
Why am I talking about this? Again, one we hope to bring you good nutrition and food or recipe ideas to help you on your own journey as a mum. We also would like to acknowledge how hard it is sometimes to keep up the regimes of being healthy, and know that every little food choice we make does have consequences down the track. I also hope that my mistakes, will save you from making the same, or at least being mindful that you are doing them. Plus, we know that a healthy mum has more energy, time for herself, time for her baby or children, time to exercise and to enjoy the things of life. Did I mention time to spend with her husband or partner also – and they probably will enjoy the interesting food too, but perhaps if they helped to make some of it.....well that's another story.
I have read and heard a number of times recently, the word 'intentional'. I have heard it in relation to parenting, and we can also use it here. If you know that you want to get, be and stay healthy, then it is something to be 'intentional' about. How do you get there? How do you stay there? With good 'intentional' daily choices to do so, and saying no to those things that come across your plate, that are not going to help you be an 'intentionally healthy mum'.
We will leave this here for the moment, and ask you to stay tuned for the good news about food, dietitian tips and recipes that will be coming soon to The Pregnancy Centre.

A Memorable Night
I am a young physician of limited practice and great ambition. At the
time of the incidents I am about to relate, my office was in a
respectable house in Twenty-fourth Street, New York City, and was
shared, greatly to my own pleasure and convenience, by a clever young
German whose acquaintance I had made in the hospital, and to whom I
had become, in the one short year in which we had practised together,
most unreasonably attached. I say unreasonably, because it was a
liking for which I could not account even to myself, as he was neither
especially prepossessing in appearance nor gifted with any too great
amiability of character. He was, however, a brilliant theorist and an
unquestionably trustworthy practitioner, and for these reasons
probably I entertained for him a profound respect, and as I have
already said a hearty and spontaneous affection.
As our specialties were the same, and as, moreover, they were of a
nature which did not call for night-work, we usually spent the evening
together. But once I failed to join him at the office, and it is of
this night I have to tell.
I had been over to Orange, for my heart was sore over the quarrel I
had had with Dora, and I was resolved to make one final effort towards
reconciliation. But alas for my hopes, she was not at home; and, what
was worse, I soon learned that she was going to sail the next morning
for Europe. This news, coming as it did without warning, affected me
seriously, for I knew if she escaped from my influence at this time, I
should certainly lose her forever; for the gentleman concerning whom
we had quarrelled, was a much better match for her than I, and almost
equally in love. However, her father, who had always been my friend,
did not look upon this same gentleman's advantages with as favorable
an eye as she did, and when he heard I was in the house, he came
hurrying into my presence, with excitement written in every line of
his fine face.
"Ah, Dick, my boy," he exclaimed joyfully, "how opportune this is! I
was wishing you would come, for, do you know, Appleby has taken
passage on board the same steamer as Dora, and if he and she cross
together, they will certainly come to an understanding, and that will
not be fair to you, or pleasing to me; and I do not care who knows
I gave him one look and sank, quite overwhelmed, into the seat nearest
me. Appleby was the name of my rival, and I quite agreed with her
father that the tete-a-tetes afforded by an ocean voyage would
surely put an end to the hopes which I had so long and secretly
"Does she know he is going? Did she encourage him?" I stammered.
But the old man answered genially: "Oh, she knows, but I cannot say
anything positive about her having encouraged him. The fact is, Dick,
she still holds a soft place in her heart for you, and if you were
going to be of the party--"
"I think you would come off conqueror yet."
"Then I will be of the party," I cried. "It is only six now, and I can
be in New York by seven. That gives me five hours before midnight,
time enough in which to arrange my plans, see Richter, and make
everything ready for sailing in the morning."
"Dick, you are a trump!" exclaimed the gratified father. "You have a
spirit I like, and if Dora does not like it too, then I am mistaken in
her good sense. But can you leave your patients?"
"Just now I have but one patient who is in anything like a critical
condition," I replied, "and her case Richter understands almost as
well as I do myself. I will have to see her this evening of course and
explain, but there is time for that if I go now. The steamer sails at
"Do not tell Dora that I expect to be there; let her be surprised.
Dear girl, she is quite well, I hope?"
"Yes, very well; only going over with her aunt to do some shopping. A
poor outlook for a struggling physician, you think. Well, I don't know
about that; she is just the kind of a girl to go from one extreme to
another. If she once loves you she will not care any longer about
Paris fashions."
"She shall love me," I cried, and left him in a great hurry, to catch
the first train for Hoboken.
It seemed wild, this scheme, but I determined to pursue it. I loved
Dora too much to lose her, and if three weeks' absence would procure
me the happiness of my life, why should I hesitate to avail myself of
the proffered opportunity. I rode on air as the express I had taken
shot from station to station, and by the time I had arrived at
Christopher Street Ferry my plans were all laid and my time disposed
of till midnight.
It was therefore with no laggard step I hurried to my office, nor was
it with any ordinary feelings of impatience that I found Richter out;
for this was not his usual hour for absenting himself and I had much
to tell him and many advices to give. It was the first balk I had
received and I was fuming over it, when I saw what looked like a
package of books lying on the table before me, and though it was
addressed to my partner, I was about to take it up, when I heard my
name uttered in a tremulous tone, and turning, saw a man standing in
the doorway, who, the moment I met his eye, advanced into the room and
"O doctor, I have been waiting for you an hour. Mrs. Warner has been
taken very bad, sir, and she prays that you will not delay a moment
before coming to her. It is something serious I fear, and she may have
died already, for she would have no one else but you, and it is now an
hour since I left her."
"And who are you?" I asked, for though I knew Mrs. Warner well--she is
the patient to whom I have already referred--I did not know her
"I am a servant in the house where she was taken ill."
"Then she is not at home?"
"No, sir, she is in Second Avenue."
"I am very sorry," I began, "but I have not the time--"
But he interrupted eagerly: "There is a carriage at the door; we
thought you might not have your phaeton ready."
I had noticed the carriage.
"Very well," said I. "I will go, but first let me write a line--"
"O sir," the man broke in pleadingly, "do not wait for anything. She
is really very bad, and I heard her calling for you as I ran out of
the house."
"She had her voice then?" I ventured, somewhat distrustful of the
whole thing and yet not knowing how to refuse the man, especially as
it was absolutely necessary for me to see Mrs. Warner that night and
get her consent to my departure before I could think of making further
So, leaving word for Richter to be sure and wait for me if he came
home before I did, I signified to Mrs. Warner's messenger that I was
ready to go with him, and immediately took a seat in the carriage
which had been provided for me. The man at once jumped up on the box
beside the driver, and before I could close the carriage door we were
off, riding rapidly down Seventh Avenue.
As we went the thought came, "What if Mrs. Warner will not let me
off!" But I dismissed the fear at once, for this patient of mine is an
extremely unselfish woman, and if she were not too ill to grasp the
situation, would certainly sympathize with the strait I was in and
consent to accept Richter's services in place of my own, especially as
she knows and trusts him.
When the carriage stopped it was already dark and I could distinguish
little of the house I entered, save that it was large and old and did
not look like an establishment where a man servant would be likely to
be kept.
"Is Mrs. Warner here?" I asked of the man who was slowly getting down
from the box.
"Yes, sir," he answered quickly; and I was about to ring the bell
before me, when the door opened and a young German girl, courtesying
slightly, welcomed me in, saying:
"Mrs. Warner is up-stairs, sir; in the front room, if you please."
Not doubting her, but greatly astonished at the barren aspect of the
place I was in, I stumbled up the faintly lighted stairs before me and
entered the great front room. It was empty, but through an open door
at the other end I heard a voice saying: "He has come, madam"; and
anxious to see my patient, whose presence in this desolate house I
found it harder and harder to understand, I stepped into the room
where she presumably lay.
Alas! for my temerity in doing so; for no sooner had I crossed the
threshold than the door by which I had entered closed with a click
unlike any I had ever heard before, and when I turned to see what it
meant, another click came from the opposite side of the room, and I
perceived, with a benumbed sense of wonder, that the one person whose
somewhat shadowy figure I had encountered on entering had vanished
from the place, and that I was shut up alone in a room without visible
means of egress.
This was startling, and hard to believe at first, but after I had
tried the door by which I had entered and found it securely locked,
and then bounding to the other side of the room, tried the opposite
one with the same result, I could not but acknowledge I was caught.
What did it mean? Caught, and I was in haste, mad haste. Filling the
room with my cries, I shouted for help and a quick release, but my
efforts were naturally fruitless, and after exhausting myself in vain
I stood still and surveyed, with what equanimity was left me, the
appearance of the dreary place in which I had thus suddenly become
It was a small square room, and I shall not soon forget with what a
foreboding shudder I observed that its four blank walls were literally
unbroken by a single window, for this told me that I was in no
communication with the street, and that it would be impossible for me
to summon help from the outside world. The single gas jet burning in a
fixture hanging from the ceiling was the only relief given to the eye
in the blank expanse of white wall that surrounded me; while as to
furniture, the room could boast of nothing more than an old-fashioned
black-walnut table and two chairs, the latter cushioned, but stiff in
the back and generally dilapidated in appearance. The only sign of
comfort about me was a tray that stood on the table, containing a
couple of bottles of wine and two glasses. The bottles were full and
the glasses clean, and to add to this appearance of hospitality a box
of cigars rested invitingly near, which I could not fail to perceive,
even at the first glance, were of the very best brand.
Astonished at these tokens of consideration for my welfare, and
confounded by the prospect which they offered of a lengthy stay in
this place, I gave another great shout; but to no better purpose than
before. Not a voice answered, and not a stir was heard in the house.
But there came from without the faint sound of suddenly moving wheels,
as if the carriage which I had left standing before the door had
slowly rolled away. If this were so, then was I indeed a prisoner,
while the moments so necessary to my plans, and perhaps to the
securing of my whole future happiness, were flying by like the wind.
As I realized this, and my own utter helplessness, I fell into one of
the chairs before me in a state of perfect despair. Not that any fears
for my life were disturbing me, though one in my situation might well
question if he would ever again breathe the open air from which he had
been so ingeniously lured. I did not in that first moment of utter
downheartedness so much as inquire the reason for the trick which had
been played upon me. No, my heart was full of Dora, and I was asking
myself if I were destined to lose her after all, and that through no
lack of effort on my part, but just because a party of thieves or
blackmailers had thought fit to play a game with my liberty.
It could not be; there must be some mistake about it; it was some
great joke, or I was the victim of a dream, or suffering from some
hideous nightmare. Why, only a half hour before I was in my own
office, among my own familiar belongings, and now--But, alas, it was
no delusion. Only four blank, whitewashed walls met my inquiring eyes,
and though I knocked and knocked again upon the two doors which
guarded me on either side, hollow echoes continued to be the only
answer I received.
Had the carriage then taken away the two persons I had seen in this
house, and was I indeed alone in its great emptiness? The thought made
me desperate, but notwithstanding this I was resolved to continue my
efforts, for I might be mistaken; there might yet be some being left
who would yield to my entreaties if they were backed by something
Taking out my watch, I laid it on the table; it was just a quarter to
eight. Then I emptied my trousers pockets of whatever money they held,
and when all was heaped up before me, I could count but twelve
dollars, which, together with my studs and a seal ring which I wore,
seemed a paltry pittance with which to barter for the liberty of which
I had been robbed. But it was all I had with me, and I was willing to
part with it at once if only some one would unlock the door and let me
go. But how to make known my wishes even if there was any one to
listen to them? I had already called in vain, and there was no
bell--yes, there was; why had I not seen it before? There was a bell
and I sprang to ring it. But just as my hand fell on the cord, I heard
a gentle voice behind my back saying in good English, but with a
strong foreign accent:
"Put up your money, Mr. Atwater; we do not want your money, only your
society. Allow me to beg you to replace both watch and money."
Wheeling about in my double surprise at the presence of this intruder
and his unexpected acquaintance with my name, I encountered the
smiling glance of a middle-aged man of genteel appearance and
courteous manners. He was bowing almost to the ground, and was, as I
instantly detected, of German birth and education, a gentleman, and
not the blackleg I had every reason to expect to see.
"You have made a slight mistake," he was saying; "it is your society,
only your society, that we want."
Astonished at his appearance, and exceedingly irritated by his words,
I stepped back as he offered me my watch, and bluntly cried:
"If it is my society only that you want, you have certainly taken very
strange means to procure it. A thief could have set no neater trap,
and if it is money you want, state your sum and let me go, for my time
is valuable and my society likely to be unpleasant."
He gave a shrug with his shoulders that in no wise interfered with his
set smile.
"You choose to be facetious," he observed. "I have already remarked
that we have no use for your money. Will you sit down? Here is some
excellent wine, and if this brand of cigars does not suit you, I will
send for another."
"Send for the devil!" I cried, greatly exasperated. "What do you mean
by keeping me in this place against my will? Open that door and let me
out, or--"
I was ready to spring and he saw it. Smiling more atrociously than
ever, he slipped behind the table, and before I could reach him, had
quietly drawn a pistol, which he cocked before my eyes.
"You are excited," he remarked, with a suavity that nearly drove me
mad. "Now excitement is no aid to good company, and I am determined
that none but good company shall be in this room to-night. So if you
will be kind enough to calm yourself, Mr. Atwater, you and I may yet
enjoy ourselves, but if not--" the action he made was significant, and
I felt the cold sweat break out on my forehead through all the heat of
my indignation.
But I did not mean to show him that he had intimidated me.
"Excuse me," said I, "and put down your pistol. Though you are making
me lose irredeemable time, I will try and control myself enough to
give you an opportunity for explaining yourself. Why have you
entrapped me into this place?"
"I have already told you," said he, gently laying the pistol before
him, but within easy reach of his hand.
"But that is preposterous," I began, fast losing my self-control
again. "You do not know me, and if you did--"
"Pardon me, you see I know your name."
Yes, that was true, and the fact set me thinking. How did he know my
name? I did not know him, nor did I know this house, or any reason for
which I could have been beguiled into it. Was I the victim of a
conspiracy, or was the man mad? Looking at him very earnestly, I
"My name is Atwater, and so far you are right, but in learning that
much about me you must also have learned that I am neither rich nor
influential, nor of any special value to a blackmailer. Why choose me
out then for--your society? Why not choose some one who can--talk?"
"I find your conversation very interesting."
Baffled, exasperated almost beyond the power to restrain myself, I
shook my fist in his face, notwithstanding I saw his hand fly to his
"Let me go!" I shrieked. "Let me go out of this place. I have
business, I tell you, important business which means everything to me,
and which, if I do not attend to it to-night, will be lost to me for
ever. Let me go, and I will so far reward you that I will speak to no
one of what has taken place here to-night, but go my ways, forgetful
of you, forgetful of this house, forgetful of all connected with it."
"You are very good," was his quiet reply, "but this wine has to be
drunk." And he calmly poured out a glass, while I drew back in
despair. "You do not drink wine?" he queried, holding up the glass he
had filled between himself and the light. "It is a pity, for it is of
most rare vintage. But perhaps you smoke?"
Sick and disgusted, I found a chair, and sat down in it. If the man
were crazy, there was certainly method in his madness. Besides, he
had not a crazy eye; there was calm calculation in it and not a little
good-nature. Did he simply want to detain me, and if so, did he have a
motive it would pay me to fathom before I exerted myself further to
insure my release? Answering the wave he made me with his hand by
reaching out for the bottle and filling myself a glass, I forced
myself to speak more affably as I remarked:
"If the wine must be drunk, we had better be about it, as you cannot
mean to detain me more than an hour, whatever reason you may have for
wishing my society."
He looked at me inquiringly before answering, then tossing off his
glass, he remarked:
"I am sorry, but in an hour a man can scarcely make the acquaintance
of another man's exterior."
"Then you mean--"
"To know you thoroughly, if you will be so good; I may never have the
opportunity again."
He must be mad; nothing else but mania could account for such words
and such actions; and yet, if mad, why was he allowed to enter my
presence? The man who brought me here, the woman who received me at
the door, had not been mad.
"And I must stay here--" I began.
"Till I am quite satisfied. I am afraid that will take till morning."
I gave a cry of despair, and then in my utter desperation spoke up to
him as I would to a man of feeling:
"You don't know what you are doing; you don't know what I shall suffer
by any such cruel detention. This night is not like other nights to
me. This is a special night in my life, and I need it, I need it, I
tell you, to spend as I will. The woman I love"--it seemed horrible to
speak of her in this place, but I was wild at my helplessness, and
madly hoped I might awake some answering chord in a breast which could
not be void of all feeling or he would not have that benevolent look
in his eye--"the woman I love," I repeated, "sails for Europe
to-morrow. We have quarrelled, but she still cares for me, and if I
can sail on the same steamer, we will yet make up and be happy."
"At what time does this steamer start?"
"At nine in the morning."
"Well, you shall leave this house at eight. If you go directly to the
steamer you will be in time."
"But--but," I panted, "I have made no arrangements. I shall have to go
to my lodgings, write letters, get money. I ought to be there at this
moment. Have you no mercy on a man who never did you wrong, and only
asks to quit you and forget the precious hour you have made him lose?"
"I am sorry," he said, "it is certainly quite unfortunate, but the
door will not be opened before eight. There is really no one in the
house to unlock it."
"And do you mean to say," I cried aghast, "that you could not open
that door if you would, that you are locked in here as well as I, and
that I must remain here till morning, no matter how I feel or you
"Will you not take a cigar?" he asked.
Then I began to see how useless it was to struggle, and visions of
Dora leaning on the steamer rail with that serpent whispering soft
entreaties in her ear came rushing before me, till I could have wept
in my jealous chagrin.
"It is cruel, base, devilish," I began. "If you had the excuse of
wanting money, and took this method of wringing my all from me, I
could have patience, but to entrap and keep me here for nothing, when
my whole future happiness is trembling in the balance, is the work of
a fiend and--" I made a sudden pause, for a strange idea had struck
What if this man, these men and this woman, were in league with him
whose rivalry I feared, and whom I had intended to supplant on the
morrow. It was a wild surmise, but was it any wilder than to believe I
was held here for a mere whim, a freak, a joke, as this bowing,
smiling man before me would have me believe?
Rising in fresh excitement, I struck my hand on the table. "You want
to keep me from going on the steamer," I cried. "That other wretch who
loves her has paid you--"
But that other wretch could not know that I was meditating any such
unusual scheme, as following him without a full day's warning. I
thought of this even before I had finished my sentence, and did not
need the blank astonishment in the face of the man before me to
convince me that I had given utterance to a foolish accusation. "It
would have been some sort of a motive for your actions," I humbly
added, as I sank back from my hostile attitude; "now you have none."
I thought he bestowed upon me a look of quiet pity, but if so he soon
hid it with his uplifted glass.
"Forget the girl," said he; "I know of a dozen just as pretty."
I was too indignant to answer.
"Women are the bane of life," he now sententiously exclaimed. "They
are ever intruding themselves between a man and his comfort, as for
instance just now between yourself and this good wine."
I caught up the bottle in sheer desperation.
"Don't talk of them," I cried, "and I will try and drink. I almost
wish there was poison in the glass. My death here might bring
punishment upon you."
He shook his head, totally unmoved by my passion.
"We deal punishment, not receive it. It would not worry me in the
least to leave you lying here upon the floor."
I did not believe this, but I did not stop to weigh the question
then; I was too much struck by a word he had used.
"Deal punishment?" I repeated. "Are you punishing me? Is that why I am
He laughed and held out his glass to mine.
"You enjoy being sarcastic," he observed. "Well, it gives a spice to
conversation, I own. Talk is apt to be dull without it."
For reply I struck the glass from his hand; it fell and shivered, and
he looked for the moment really distressed.
"I had rather you had struck me," he remarked, "for I have an answer
for an injury like that; but for a broken glass--" He sighed and
looked dolefully at the pieces on the floor.
Mortified and somewhat ashamed, I put down my own glass.
"You should not have exasperated me," I cried, and walked away beyond
temptation, to the other side of the room.
His spirits had received a dampener, but in a few minutes he seized
upon a cigar and began smoking; as the wreaths curled over his head he
began to talk, and this time it was on subjects totally foreign to
myself and even to himself. It was good talk; that I recognized,
though I hardly listened to what he said. I was asking myself what
time it had now got to be, and what was the meaning of my
incarceration, till my brain became weary and I could scarcely
distinguish the topic he discussed. But he kept on for all my seeming,
and indeed real, indifference, kept on hour after hour in a monologue
he endeavored to make interesting, and which probably would have been
so if the time and occasion had been fit for my enjoying it. As it
was, I had no ear for his choicest phrases, his subtlest criticisms,
or his most philosophic disquisitions. I was wrapped up in self and my
cruel disappointment, and when in a certain access of frenzy I leaped
to my feet and took a look at the watch still lying on the table, and
saw it was four o'clock in the morning, I gave a bound of final
despair, and throwing myself on the floor, gave myself up to the heavy
sleep that mercifully came to relieve me.
I was roused by feeling a touch on my breast. Clapping my hand to the
spot where I had felt the intruding hand, I discovered that my watch
had been returned to my pocket. Drawing it out I first looked at it
and then cast my eyes quickly about the room. There was no one with
me, and the doors stood open between me and the hall. It was eight
o'clock, as my watch had just told me.
That I rushed from the house and took the shortest road to the
steamer, goes without saying. I could not cross the ocean with Dora,
but I might yet see her and tell her how near I came to giving her my
company on that long voyage which now would only serve to further the
ends of my rival. But when, after torturing delays on cars and
ferry-boats, and incredible efforts to pierce a throng that was
equally determined not to be pierced, I at last reached the wharf, it
was to behold her, just as I had fancied in my wildest moments,
leaning on a rail of the ship and listening, while she abstractedly
waved her hand to some friends below, to the words of the man who had
never looked so handsome to me or so odious as at this moment of his
unconscious triumph. Her father was near her, and from his eager
attitude and rapidly wandering gaze I saw that he was watching for me.
At last he spied me struggling aboard, and immediately his face
lighted up in a way which made me wish he had not thought it necessary
to wait for my anticipated meeting with his daughter.
"Ah, Dick, you are late," he began, effusively, as I put foot on deck.
But I waved him back and went at once to Dora.
"Forgive me, pardon me," I incoherently said, as her sweet eyes rose
in startled pleasure to mine. "I would have brought you flowers, but I
meant to sail with you, Dora, I tried to--but wretches, villains,
prevented it and--and--"
"Oh, it does not matter," she said, and then blushed, probably because
the words sounded unkind, "I mean--"
But she could not say what she meant, for just then the bell rang for
all visitors to leave, and her father came forward, evidently thinking
all was right between us, smiled benignantly in her face, gave her a
kiss and me a wink and disappeared in the crowd that was now rapidly
going ashore.
I felt that I must follow, but I gave her one look and one squeeze of
the hand, and then as I saw her glances wander to his face, I groaned
in spirit, stammered some words of choking sorrow and was gone, before
her embarrassment would let her speak words, which I knew would only
add to my grief and make this hasty parting unendurable.
The look of amazement and chagrin with which her father met my
reappearance on the dock can easily be imagined.
"Why, Dick," he exclaimed, "aren't you going after all? I thought I
could rely on you. Where's your pluck, lad? Scared off by a frown? I
wouldn't have believed it, Dick. What if she does frown to-day; she
will smile to-morrow."
I shook my head; I could not tell him just then that it was not
through any lack of pluck on my part that I had failed him.
When I left the dock I went straight to a restaurant, for I was faint
as well as miserable. But my cup of coffee choked me and the rolls and
eggs were more than I could face. Rising impatiently, I went out. Was
any one more wretched than I that morning and could any one nourish a
more bitter grievance? As I strode towards my lodgings I chewed the
cud of my disappointment till my wrongs loomed up like mountains and
I was seized by a spirit of revenge. Should I let such an interference
as I had received go unpunished? No, if the wretch who had detained me
was not used to punishment he should receive a specimen of it now and
from a man who was no longer a prisoner, and who once aroused did not
easily forego his purposes. Turning aside from my former destination,
I went immediately to a police-station and when I had entered my
complaint was astonished to see that all the officials had grouped
about me and were listening to my words with the most startled
"Was the man who came for you a German?" one asked.
I said "Yes."
"And the man who stood guardian over you and entertained you with wine
and cigars, was not he a German too?"
I nodded acquiescence and they at once began to whisper together; then
one of them advanced to me and said:
"You have not been home, I understand; you had better come."
Astonished by his manner I endeavored to inquire what he meant, but he
drew me away, and not till we were within a stone's throw of my office
did he say, "You must prepare yourself for a shock. The impertinences
you suffered from last night were unpleasant no doubt, but if you had
been allowed to return home, you might not now be deploring them in
comparative peace and safety."
"What do you mean?"
"That your partner was not as fortunate as yourself. Look up at the
house; what do you see there?"
A crowd was what I saw first, but he made me look higher, and then I
perceived that the windows of my room, of our room, were shattered and
blackened and that part of the casement of one had been blown out.
"A fire!" I shrieked. "Poor Richter was smoking--"
"No, he was not smoking. He had no time for a smoke. An infernal
machine burst in that room last night and your friend was its wretched
I never knew why my friend's life was made a sacrifice to the revenge
of his fellow-countrymen. Though we had been intimate in the year we
had been together, he had never talked to me of his country and I had
never seen him in company with one of his own nation. But that he was
the victim of some political revenge was apparent, for though it
proved impossible to find the man who had detained me, the house was
found and ransacked, and amongst other secret things was discovered
the model of the machine which had been introduced into our room, and
which had proved so fatal to the man it was addressed to. Why men who
were so relentless in their purposes towards him should have taken
such pains to keep me from sharing his fate, is one of those anomalies
in human nature which now and then awake our astonishment. If I had
not lost Dora through my detention at their hands I should look back
upon that evening with sensations of thankfulness. As it is, I
sometimes question if it would not have been better if they had let me
take my chances.

Arizona's dry, sunny climate makes it an ideal spring and fall destination. When you visit Phoenix, you'll want to spend tons of time outdoors. Before you arrive, book tours and plan exciting outdoor activities. See the stars in the desert at night, visit a very salty river, or cheer on college sports. Use the following suggestions as the starting point for planning your time in Phoenix.
Take a Moonlit Hike
Image via Flickr by mypubliclands
The desert is dangerous at night, yes, but it is also very beautiful. Take a hike at night guided by a ranger and experience nature under the stars, which you'll be able to see in grand and breathtaking detail. Check with the Maricopa County Parks and Rec Department to find a moonlight hike to take. You'll see things like glowing scorpions, Gila monsters, and plants that only bloom at night.

Ride in a Hot Air Balloon
Go as high as 3,000 feet in the air in the basket of a hot air balloon. You'll see panoramic views of the Sonoran Desert and the city of Phoenix. If you take a balloon at dusk or dawn, you'll get to view sunrise or sunset unimpeded by buildings, and from a new angle. On the flight, you'll probably see lots of animals on the ground, like jackrabbits, coyotes, and roadrunners. This is a picturesque way to experience the nature around Phoenix.

Cheer on the Sun Devils
Would you rather experience the outdoors without leaving civilization? You don't have to stray far from your Phoenix hotel to enjoy the Arizona air and have an afternoon full of fun. The ASU Sun Devils have a gorgeous baseball stadium, which is always worth visiting to see a game. You can also watch tennis, soccer, lacrosse, track and field, and a bunch of other athletics, so you're certain to discover a game you want to see!
Float or Paddle Salt River
Rent an inner tube at Salt River and float your way through mountains, forest, and desert. You can take shorter trips that last between an hour and a half and two hours, or longer trips that are almost five hours, depending on your starting and ending points. If you'd rather have a more active view of the bluffs and red rocks as you meander along the water, take a paddle board out instead. It's sure to give your arms a great workout!

Do a Jeep Tour
See the desert in a Jeep, which goes off-road in the most extreme way possible. These are the Jeeps that can drive up almost vertical rock faces and will take you into parts of the desert you might never hike to. Don't worry — you can choose your extremity level based on which company and which tour you choose. Pick a tour with a naturalist guide, so you can learn fascinating facts about the landscape you're visiting.
Pack your sunscreen, and remember that the desert temperature drops pretty significantly at night, so sweaters, boots, and jeans are good to remember, too! Of course, the most important thing you must have with you is a camera. Have fun in Phoenix!

According to witnesses, he walked up to the passenger side of the officers' car, assumed a firing stance, and shot each officer in the head before they could even draw their weapons.
The murder of these officers can only be called a tragedy. The families of these officers are devastated. Even when you know a loved one faces potential death each day, nothing prepares you to face what you've dreaded.
MSNBC is reporting the shooting as a protest act of terrorism in the name of Mike Brown and Eric Garner based on the following comments the killer made on his Instagram account:
"I'm Putting Wings On Pigs Today. They Take 1 Of Ours........Let's Take 2 of Tehirs #ShootThePolice #RIPErivGardner #RIPMikeBrown This May Be My Final Post. . . . I'm putting Pigs In A Blanket. (sic, words including punctuation and capitalization as written on his Instagram page.)
But Brinsley shot his former girlfriend first. Then he traveled from Baltimore to New York, shot the officers, fled the scene, and later shot himself. Something was going on in his life that made him this angry and mentally disturbed. I doubt it was the police. If you'll notice, he doesn't even spell Eric Garner's name correctly. Also, what's up with his capitalization of every word in his post? Something was not right with Brinsley.
As I said on Twitter, it sounds like he was a ticking time bomb.
In many ways, today's tragedy reminds me of the Gabby Giffords shooting in which other people died. Already some people on the right are pointing fingers at political leaders, such as Al Sharpton and Mayor DeBlasio, saying they caused the shooting. If not them, then the media, such as MSNBC, essentially any entity questioning police behavior and tactics.
Today #MSNBC murdered 2 #NYPD officers by inciting the shooter to do it with relentless lies about cops being racist murderers.
I recall that some people on the left tried to blame the Giffords shooting on Sarah Palin. I have certainly spent more than my share of time critiquing Palin's rhetoric, but the left wasn't correct when it blamed her specifically for the Arizona massacre, and neither are these people on right now who are blaming various progressive leaders. Loughner was a fuse waiting for a match and so was Brinsley.
— Patrick Dollard (@PatDollard) December 21, 2014
The protests that have been happening around the country asking for justice in the cases of Mike Brown, Eric Garner, and countless others who've died by way police overreach are not to blame for Brinsley's horrific deed either. No person who seeks justice wants dead police officers.
May these officers' families eventually find ways to cope with their loss and know peace again.

Next come the needless Target products which fill you with certainty: one of your friends definitely wants this. But who?
|Weirdly perfect, almost. Do they call in the shades to make up-selling inevitable?
Having a baby in your cart** is also handy for this endeavor, as you can present newest thing to Baby. Once she laughs, you say, "Oh, you *like* it don't you! I do, too. Yes: we like this."
|Pandas vs. Sharks
In the aftermath of Target, mild guilt is paired with a longing for more embroidered pillows***. In the balmy air on the back deck, one makes the unfortunate discovery of holes in the new, cheaply-made stuffed animal-pillow hybrid. Bahhhhh! You say, Target! Lamentable throw-away culture! and then you get out a needle and thread instead of driving back to the store. This bout of mending is sufficiently rare for you to get a kick out of using a thimble (a thimble! with a tiny leaf pattern circling its rim); and the early Spring birdsong is riotous. And the bearish pillow-animal has chutzpah, for all his shoddiness. You already envision resting your head on him, in the play yard area, next time you are woefully tired and your child is woefully sprightly.
|In the suburban wilds
|And a Panda to watch over us
********publisher page: "Perfect for fans of Love Monster and Dragons Love Tacos, this sweet and funny story about an unexpected friendship will delight creatures of all ages." I know neither of those titles, but doesn't that spur your interest? Shark Detective by Jessica Olien
*But for the myriad downsides of mass produced chic, including labor conditions, training one's consumer self to buying for the moment rather than the long haul, which one could argue is at the heart of consumerism across the board, right? but here we are in Target, so none of us are radical, or consistently so.
**non-crying preferably, so: either fatigued enough to be slightly glassy-eyed, or freshly rested (and/or fed) so its prone to easy laughter.
***which the Baby also likes, fond as she is of raking her baby nails across embroidered yarn

"'The President Wore Pearls" is the third episode of the The Simpsons fifteenth season, first broadcast on November 16, 2003. The episode was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Music (by Alf Clausen) And Lyrics (by Dana Gould).
Springfield Elementary holds a casino night as a fundraiser, the brainchild of student body president Martin Prince (elected such in "Lisa's Substitute"). Homer wins big, but when Martin points out that his winnings can only be redeemed for cafeteria scrip and not real money, the angry casino patrons riot. After the chaos has cleared, Principal Skinner tells Martin he must resign as president. An election for a new president is announced, and Lisa signs up. However, initially popular Nelson Muntz is favored to win. During a debate in the school auditorium, she sings a song (a parody of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina") about how she will fight for student rights, winning them over.
Lisa easily wins the election. Worried by her determination and popularity, the faculty discusses how to control her. Following Mrs. Krabappel's suggestion that a woman's weakness is vanity, the school faculty tells Lisa that as president, she deserves a more glamorous look. Another song is sung (a spoof of "Rainbow High") as the teachers give Lisa a makeover into a fashionable Eva Perón lookalike. She is initially resistant, but gives in since she reasons she will still be able to fight for the kids. The students love the new Lisa more than ever, but the faculty use her as a scapegoat for dropping music, gym, and art from the curriculum to save on the budget. Facing an outraged student body, Lisa realizes that she has been used by the teaching staff and had been seduced by glamor and power. After resigning as president, Lisa goes back to her old red dress and spiky hair, and leads the students in a strike.
The students leave school in protest and Michael Moore (voicing himself) shows up to take their side, stating that children who do not receive music, gym and art are more likely to become unemployed and end up in one of his movies. The police arrive at the school to handle the students with child-size batons, but Lisa soon convinces the police to take their side too. Several other labor unions, including goat milkers, newsroom cue card holders and theme park zombies join the strike. Even Groundskeeper Willie refuses Skinner's order to turn his hose on the students. Realizing there is no other way out of the crippling strike other than disposing of Lisa, Skinner has her transferred to a school for the "Academically Gifted and Troublesome". She waves goodbye to her classmates and the rest of Springfield - including Moe, who is holding a picture of her - singing another parody song ("Don't Cry for Me Argentina").
Just as Lisa arrives at her new school, Homer pulls up and refuses to allow her to attend or give up on her fight for a better Springfield Elementary, complaining that he will not drive 45 minutes each day to take her to school. He suggests she take up an activity like ice skating instead, but when she eagerly asks to do that, he refuses once again, complaining that he does not want get up early each morning.
At the end of the episode, subtitles state that Springfield Elementary was eventually able to restore music, art and gym by cancelling flu shots and selling loose cigarettes. The subtitle then states that the producers of the show, "based on the advice of their lawyers, swear they have never heard of a musical based on the life of Eva Perón".
In 2007, Vanity Fair called "The President Wore Pearls" the tenth best episode of The Simpsons, the most recent episode on the list. John Orvted said, "It may seem ludicrous to include anything later than Season 8 in this list, but this one is brilliant. The musical numbers are astoundingly good, and Lisa's comeuppance is so well constructed it harkens back to the golden years of the show (Seasons 3 through 8)."[1]

DeMarini Custom Bat® uses technologies to remember your choices when you're designing custom bats. Safari just wants to make sure that this is okay with you.
Note: The app saves your bat customizations ONLY. No personal info is saved!
Choosing CANCEL means you can't continue while using Safari. You can create bats in another browser (like Chrome, Firefox or Internet Explorer).
It's pretty cool, and pretty easy: Just follow the steps to create your very own customized DeMarini bat. You create it. We build it!
The Navigation System
The blocks at the top of your screen will highlight to let you know where you are in the design process. There are 4 core steps to building your bat. It starts by selecting your model, and then it's time to Customize and Personalize leading you to the promise land, Review and Buy.
The Design Module
When you design your bat you will use the Design Module located on the right side of the page. The module will give you thousands — maybe even millions — of options to make your bat perfectly you. When using the module you will notice that there are 4 core areas of the bat for you to add your personal touch: Barrel, Handle, Grip, and End Cap/Knob. Within each area you will have multiple elements to customize. You can move from area to area. No need to complete one before moving on to the next. Areas with a red circle are incomplete while those with a yellow checkmark are done and ready to go. You can move on to the Personalize step once you've completed every option.
Bat Images & Angles
Not only do the images of your bat show you how awesome your bat is going to look with each selection you make, you can also use the buttons on the left side of the screen to see different angles to ensure your masterpiece is perfect.
Color Palette
Time to have some fun! When coloring your bat you will have the option to select any color from the provided palette. During each step the Design Module will automatically provide you with the available color palette for that specific piece and once you select a color it will contain a checkmark and be highlighted to the right of the piece you colored. If you want to change a color all you have to do is click on the specific piece and select a new color. You can always go back to each step to change colors at any time!
Should you ever need a little inspiration to get the creative juices flowing, simply scroll down the page to see a variety of different designs for your specific bat. Just remember, if you select one of these designs, it will automatically be moved into the core design space and remove any options you have previously selected. If you select a bat as inspiration — you are not stuck to only these options. You can go in and make any changes you want.
This step allows you to really make your bat your own by adding your name, number, etc. (up to 16 characters). You even have the option to add an icon or country flag that is special to you. Boom! Before you started, you will need to select your bat length/oz. Length/Oz. options available are the same options available for the In Line model of the bat you customized.
End Cap
It starts with your End Cap. You either add text, number (9 characters is the max) or a Flag/Icon. Once you select an option you can color it and if it's text or a number, you get to select the font style. It doesn't get much more personal than this! And remember that DeMarini has the right to review and reject any and all profanity, so keep it clean!
Once you're done personalizing your End Cap, it's time to personalize the Knob. For your Knob there are two spaces where you can personalize. Each space is dedicated to text or numbers and it basically cuts the Knob in half. The top space will provide a maximum of 9 characters while the lower space will provide a maximum of 4 characters. In both areas you will be able to select the font style and color of the text. And similar to the End Cap, keep it clean so grandma would be proud.
Review Your Bat
When you are done with your masterpiece and ready to share or buy it, click the "Review and Buy" button. All steps must be complete for the button to be clickable. It will turn black and yellow when available.
Importance of double-checking
On the REVIEW & BUY screen, you will have a chance to review your design to make sure everything looks just like you want and all the information is correct. This is very important because as a custom bat it is non-returnable and non-refundable. DOUBLE CHECK TO MAKE SURE ALL INFORMATION IS CORRECT.
Making changes
If you want to make a correction or change things up, just click any one of the grey boxes with the pencil in it and you will go back to that exact step where you can modify your bat. Get your bat perfect before you order it because it cannot be returned. After that, we're already bringing your vision to life.
Sharing your masterpiece
You're an artist. A visionary. Show your friends what you just created and reveal to them your true genius! You can share your bat on Facebook, Twitter or send it to all of your family and friends via email by clicking the appropriate icon. This is also a great way to send someone a "hint" on what to buy you for the holidays or your birthday, or just because you're awesome.

My Blog__ Cultured in International Music Jargon?
In english... When a dj can't beatmatch 2 songs together we conveniently call it a TRAINWRECK! Properly suited towards the action I presume! I'm proud to say I've officially bumped trainwreck out of my vocab and replaced it with a much more suitable descriptive. While in Panama having dinner at Indigo I learned their descriptive word for trainwreck is PATACONES! Thanks to Ivan Escala, trusted party promoter and sweetheart from Panama City/Reload Nightlife -- Smash that plantain/banana, then fry it up!
Altho some tend to say patacones are an untasty traditional dish... much like a trainwreck can be untasty, i beg to differ. I love fried plantains, and I also don't mind hearing a dj patacone a mix! Call it ironic, but I find it tastefully refreshing.
Wondering what the people in Iceland use to describe a patacones?

Launch a new experiential marketing vehicle to major consumer brands
The inventors of BobCar, a new vehicle they created to offer brands nimble mobile experiences tapped me to lead the launch this subdivision of an experiential agency to solve a huge challenge in event marketing:
Permits for public spaces in major cities are expensive and it's impossible to find parking for large vehicles.
BobCar is a tiny three-wheeled scooter that could be easily customized for a variety of uses and intercept consumers on the street with a minimal footprint.
From building the initial website and sales materials to creating proposals for new business opportunities on to final design and production, I helped the owners beat their first year goals and bring this compelling experience to life for a number of brands including Dunkin' Donuts, Samsung, Olympus and many others.

Name reveal: Emmy Squared's grilled-pizza sibling will be called Violet on 5th Street
Eater had the scoop yesterday on the name for the latest venture from Emmy Squared's husband-wife team of Matt and Emily Hyland. The place is named after the state flower of Rhode Island. Matt was born in Brooklyn, Emily in New Jersey, and they met at Roger Williams University in the Ocean State. (Hey, you learned two factoid about Rhode Island today!)
Aside from grilled pizzas inspired by the Providence-based Al Forno, the menu will feature recipes with Italian and Portuguese influences, per Eater.
Violet is expected to open in early November. And it seems on track given all the work going on in this former home of GG's.
Previously on EV Grieve:
Emmy Squared's owners are bringing grilled pizza to the former GG's space on 5th Street

cheatriots gonna cheatriot
What the is even going on with this? First Houston cans Gaine, then they ask to interview Caserio, then the Pats say no, then people start wondering if the Pats can say no, then the Pats say they have some language in the contract that says they can say no, then Houston apparently decides to hire no one...presumably because Caserio's contract comes up after the 2020 draft and they can hire him then.
Then today a story runs out of Boston that Caserio wants out and wants to be in Houston, except apparently it was unsourced and just one writers opinion.
This probably ends with The Texans giving up a draft pick to the pats for Caserio.
wrong about everything
but really... one and done, two and done, three and done... are all bad, it should be up to a player to decide, especially in such an injury prone sport, if he's good enough out of HS he should be able to declare
also I've had it locked down firmly in the brain for a long time now that Tua Tagovailoa WILL be a Miami Dolphin and nothing and no one will change that. He's their guy, his name in Miami has such a perfect ring to it

On Monday, September 26th, prisoners at both Pelican Bay & Calipatria will resume the hunger strike to stop the torturous conditions of Security Housing Units (SHUs).
Prisoners first went on hunger strike on July 1st for nearly four weeks, until the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation (CDCR) agreed to begin implementing some of the prisoners' five core demands. The strike became one of the largest prison strikes in California history–stretching across a third of the California's prisons (at least 13 State prisons), including more than 6,600 prisoners at its height. However, the CDCR's response has been inadequate to say the least, giving prisoners & their families false hope of timely substantial change and an end to torture. For a detailed summary of the CDCR's response to the strike, and why Pelican Bay prisoners are resuming it, read "Tortured SHU Prisoners Speak Out: The Struggle Continues." (more…)

by Fred Reiss, Ed.D.
Rashi by Elie Wiesel. Translated from the French by Catherine Temerson, Nextbook ISBN 978-0-8052-4254-6, ©2009, $22.00, p. 90 plus chronology, glossary, and bibliography.
WINCHESTER, California — One would be hard pressed to find a greater Jewish authority than Rabbi Shlomo ben Yitzhak, known to the world as Rashi. Many religious questions have been quickly resolved by the opening words, "And Rashi says…." As a prolific eleventh century French rabbi, intellectual, and Hebrew grammarian, Rashi produced a commentary on nearly every book of the Talmud and a comprehensive interpretation of the Five Books of Moses. In addition, as a recognized Judaic scholar, Rashi wrote nearly three hundred responsa on wide-ranging topics for the benefit of many Western European Jewish communities.
Rashi was born in Troyes, located in France's Champagne region, in 1040. During his youth, he demonstrated an affinity for Jewish learning. His family sent him to Worms and Mainz in Germany where he studied under Rabbi Gershom, a scholar and Jewish authority in his own right. At age twenty-five, Rashi returned to Troyes. Five years later, he established a yeshiva there.
Although Rashi lived through the First Crusades, the city of Troyes was unaffected. It is against this backdrop that Elie Wiesel presents a portrait of Rashi.
Rashi is divided into four chapters. In the first, Wiesel explores the Jewish history of France and Germany during the eleventh century. The second chapter reveals snippets of Rashi's biblical commentary from the Book of Genesis. The third chapter touches on a very few of Rashi's commentaries on the Talmud and responsa. The final chapter speaks of the First Crusades and anti-Semitism that fell on the Jewish communities in the Rhineland.
The book is well-written, as we would expect from a Nobel Prize winning author. However, those readers expecting a full biography of Rashi will be disappointed. Rashi is part of Nextbooks Press' Jewish Encounters Series. Previous works reviewed by this writer from that series (Betraying Spinoza by Rebecca Goldstein, The Jewish Body by Melvin Konner, and Yehuda HaLevi by Hillel Halkin) were extensively researched, with the facts being woven into a comprehensive story. To that end, this book is disappointing and leaves the reader wanting much more about this remarkable medieval Jewish scholar.
Dr. Fred Reiss is a retired public and Hebrew school teacher and administrator. He is the author of The Standard Guide to the Jewish and Civil Calendars; Ancient Secrets of Creation: Sepher Yetzira, the Book that Started Kabbalah, Revealed; and Reclaiming the Messiah.
