DRAFT: List of Infrastructure Problems/Solutions
Members of the NetBeans Dream Team have identified the following problems in the NetBeans infrastructure and suggests the solutions below.
The "DRAFT" list below comes from an e-mail received recently from Tom Wheeler, so instances of "I" mean Tom. Once other dream team members have added and commented, the draft status will change. The DRAFT text is simply there right now to indicate the list below is not complete yet.
Problem: Changes to infrastructure are often poorly communicated (see Ivan/Emilian's recent thread on nbdev, which Wade forwarded to the list). This apparently even affects people inside of Oracle, and is much worse for people in the community since don't have access to intranet, company meetings, meeting developers in the cafeteria at lunchtime, etc. Additionally, changes to infrastructure seem to be made without regard to how it will affect work done by others. As an example, I have easily spent > 100 hours editing things in the FAQ. In the last five years, it moved from java.net Wiki to JSPWiki to Media Wiki and the Web-based mailing list archives have also recently changed. These changes have broken many links in the FAQ.
Proposed Solutions: Close communication with the dream team around how/when to communicate changes. The dream team should be the primary point of contact when there are changes, in order to discuss them and how to communicate them on a case by case basis. (Geertjan)
The poor communication about infrastructure changes affects a much wider audience than just the Dream Team. I think the solution is to handle infrastructure changes just like you do API changes; in other words, suggest the changes in a specific public e-mail list where any interested person can subscribe, be informed of these changes several days before they're made, ask questions and offer suggestions just as they could for API changes. (Tom)
Website Changes
Problem: Nobody outside of Oracle can edit the netbeans.org Web site, aside from the Wiki (see my comments on nbdiscuss)
Further info needed: What kind of content on the site would be changeable by committers? What would the process be? What changes are dream team members suggesting it be possible to do by external committers?
Proposed Solutions: Investigate whether projects on netbeans.org can have external committers. E.g.. maybe platform.netbeans.org can have external committers who work on the tutorials. (Geertjan)
The above proposal is a step in the right direction, but sounds like it's still limited to certain parts of the site. I don't see the point of establishing arbitrary borders. What if there are errors on the main pages of the NetBeans Web site? Reporting them on issue tracker takes much longer than simply fixing them. If there are sacred pages which the community simply cannot be trusted to edit regardless of what level of experience they have, at the very least it should be possible to check out or download a read-only copy of the site's current content so one can directly make all the desired changes at once and then submit the patch with an issue requesting that they be fixed.
Mirror Sites
Problem: No mirror sites for netbeans.org downloads (see my comments on this list). I have documented problems in which I was unable to download releases from the Akamai download system you use now, both from home and work. These problems are intermittent, but continue even now, and have prevented me from participating in 7.0 beta testing in any meaningful way.
Proposed Solutions:
Offer mirror sites as you once did and like most major open source projects do, at least for production releases. Such sites should be as simple as possible; i.e. just a server directory listing with links to files to download directly with HTTP (no Javascript, just keep it simple).
Website Instability
Problem: NetBeans web site is unstable (see #195839)
Proposed Solutions: Possibly this is fixed already; see the current final comment in the issue above dated 3/25/11. Otherwise, a proposed solution (by Tom) is to dump the current mailing list/forum system on netbeans.org in favor of Google Groups.
Forums/Mailing List
Problem: Integration between mailing lists and forums is poor (#196415)
Proposed Solutions: Dump the current mailing list/forum system on netbeans.org in favor of Google Groups. (Tom)
Mailing List Search
Problem: Mailing list search feature is broken (#195966)
Proposed Solutions: Dump the current mailing list/forum system on netbeans.org in favor of Google Groups. (Tom)
Mailing List Latency
Problem: Mailing lists seem to suffer from latency problems. There will be no messages for hours, then a dozen messages will all show up at once (i.e. within one minute of another). The message headers show messages having been delayed for several hours, though I cannot say defintively whether the problem is on NetBeans side or GMail (but I'd guess it is more likely NetBeans).
Further info needed: Is this a generally experienced problem? (Geertjan comment: I, for one, do not have this problem.)
I have experienced it dozens of times and Javier said that he experiences it as well. (Tom).
Proposed Solutions: Need to find more info about this before solutions can be proposed. (Geertjan)
Dump the current mailing list/forum system on netbeans.org in favor of Google Groups would fix it. I am subscribed to several other mailing lists through Google Groups and delays of several hours have never been an issue on those lists. (Tom)
Mailing List - Echo own posts
Problem: (Ryan de Laplante) I have never seen any of my own posts to the NBDT mailing list show up in my inbox. Originally someone at Sun looked into it and it seemed like I am the only person with this issue. Over the years I changed email addresses once or twice and continue to have this issue. It doesn't bother me too much, but it is worth mentioning. All messages I send to the mailing list are delivered to everyone else.
Proposed Solutions: None.

India must face the permanent changes since the world economic crisis of 2008 and find new ways of triggering growth, writes Ashok Sekhar Ganguly
One of the principal concerns of India's growth story is that it is a "jobless growth". This is not entirely correct. As a matter of record, the growth in employment was 1.0 per cent/1.5 per cent per annum between the years 2004-05 and 2009-11, and then jumped up to 3-3.5 per cent in the subsequent years, when India's economic growth was actually slowing down. There is apparently a lag phase between economic growth and job creation. Statistics aside, no country can sustain jobless growth. In spite of the importance of growth in jobs, it is economic growth which is, and remains, the top of the mind issue.
The national mood regarding economic growth vacillates between euphoria and pessimism. What tends to be ignored is the fact that much of our growth is driven by internal production and consumption, alongside factors such as foreign trade and the state of the global economy.
During the early years of the new millennium, India's ambition was to match and surpass China's record of consistently high economic growth. Gradually, the expectation of consistent high economic growth took roots as a firm belief. To be fair, a few eminent Indian economists did advise caution, in the light of certain global trends. But the Indian financial media and stock markets created their own mood swings, which are not only vague, but mostly subjective.
Economics is the single most powerful influence on the emotions of the common person, disproportionate to reality and history. The recent referendum in Scotland regarding whether or not to remain in union with England, was defeated by a 55 and 45 per cent split in favour of Scotland staying within the United Kingdom. Some of the most powerful arguments were based on the difficult economic consequences that Scotland would have to deal with as an independent nation. It so happened that a majority believed that it was economically viable, among several other factors, to remain in the union. But a strong minority believed in the 'independent' Scotland story, and were convinced about its economic viability as well. Thus, in a manner of speaking, the 'Scottish Issue' remains uncertain.

2# Bag Glory Chopped Collards
3 TBS. Bacon Grease
Salt and Pepper to Taste
1 tsp. sugar
Vidalia onion,chopped
Pepper Sauce
Peeled and quartered turnips
Soak greens in 2 tsp. baking soda for about an hour. Wash well, and remove large stems. Melt bacon grease in large pan, then add greens and seasonings. The sugar helps tone down the bitterness. Cover, and simmer slowly for about 1 1/2 hours. Keep an eye on the greens, and if the broth from the greens cooks away, add a little water. We serve ours with fresh turnips cooked on top of greens, chopped onion, and pepper sauce...the real peppers distilled in vinegar. Add turnips on top of greens during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
My husband loves greens cooked this way..I hope you will too.

Academic Integrity Policy
Academic Integrity is a Joint Responsibility of the Individual Student and the University's Faculty and Staff
Agora University's institutional integrity is built in part upon the individual student's commitment to academic honesty. The University's institutional integrity is also founded upon the effective administration of academic honesty issues by the University's faculty and staff.
Agora University Faculty are responsible for ensuring that the student grades are truly indicative of the student's learned knowledge as exhibited in the classroom. Student acts of academic dishonesty cause disruption of the educational process, weaken our University's institutional integrity, and present challenges for our faculty to fairly assess the student's academic performance.
Agora University Faculty holds primary responsibility for ensuring that academic honesty is maintained in their classes. Individual students also share in this responsibility. AU students are required to refrain from all acts of academic dishonesty.
Procedures for Dealing with Violations of Academic Dishonesty
Actions Taken by Faculty Member Any AU Faculty member who has evidence that a student has committed an act of academic dishonesty, shall, after speaking with the student, take one or more of the following disciplinary actions:
- Issue an oral reprimand.
- Give the student an "F" grade or zero points or a reduced number of points on all or part of a particular paper, project or examination;
- If the act of academic dishonesty results in a "F" grade or zero points being awarded to the student for that particular paper, project, or examination, and this result affects the student's overall grade in the class, then the student shall be issued the proper grade, as affected by the specific "F" or zero grade, by the faculty member. For any incident of academic dishonesty resulting in the instructor's issuance of an "F" or zero points – the instructor shall assess the severity of the student's misconduct and determine whether the incident should be immediately reported to the University's Academic Dean on the "Academic Dishonesty Report" form.
Actions by the University Administration The sanction imposed for an act of academic dishonesty depends on the severity of the alleged improper conduct of the student. However, sanctions are generally imposed as follows:
Upon receipt of a faculty-member completed first "Academic Dishonesty Report" form concerning a student, (or) upon satisfactory investigation of allegations brought by other staff or students about academic misconduct by a student, the Academic Dean shall respond in one of two ways:
- By sending a Student Discipline Notification Letter to the student, inviting the student to present a responseto the allegations of academic dishonesty. The Academic Dean will inform the student that if a finding of academic dishonesty is sustained, the student will be placed on disciplinary probation for a minimum of one year, with other possible sanctions being imposed pursuant to the District's Student Code of Conduct.
- The Academic Dean may also create an Academic Dishonesty Report file and send no letter (the AcademicDean will not take action, based on the request of the individual instructor, who will handle the disciplinary action individually with his/her own students). If the Academic Dean notes that multiple Academic Dishonesty Reports have been filed for particular students, from multiple instructors, however, then the student will receive the Letter of Student Discipline Notification.
Upon receipt of a second or more "Academic Dishonesty Report" of academic misconduct committed by a student, the Academic Dean shall seek the suspension of the student for one full calendar year.
If, upon this student's return from the one year suspension, the Academic Dean receives any further reports of academic dishonesty concerning this student, the Academic Dean shall recommend the student be expelled permanently.
Depending on the severity of the student's academic dishonesty, a student may be suspended from the University on a first offense or be recommended for expulsion by the Board of Trustees.
The Academic Dean shall keep the faculty member and Division Dean reasonably informed of the status of the student discipline process and outcome.
Examples of Academic Dishonesty Conduct Some examples of academic dishonesty conduct warranting the imposition of disciplinary probation, suspension or expulsion include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Taking an examination for another student or having someone else take an examination for one-self.
- Altering a graded examination/assignment and returning it for additional credit.
- Having another person or a company do research and/or writing of a report.
- Stealing or attempting to steal an examination or answer key.
- Printing an online exam without the express authorization of the instructor.
- Stealing or attempting to change official academic records.
- Forging or altering grades.
- Obtaining answers from another student before or during an examination.
- Falsely reporting or claiming to have experienced technical difficulties with online instructional tests, quizzes, or assignments.
- Knowingly allowing another student to copy one's work.
- Using unauthorized materials, such as notebooks, or other items, without the instructor's consent during an examination or placement test.
- Sharing answers for a take-home or on-line examination unless otherwise authorized by the instructor.
- Receiving help in creating a speech, essay, report, project or paper unless otherwise authorized by the instructor.
- Turning in a speech, essay, report, project or paper done for one class to another class unless specifically authorized by the instructor of the second class.
- Misreporting or altering the data in research projects.
- Offering another person's work as one's own: copying a speech, essay, report, discussion board posting, project or paper from another person or from books, websites, or other sources.
- Using outside sources (books, or other written sources) without giving proper credit (by naming the person and putting any exact words in quotation marks).
- Intentionally impairing the performance of other students and/or a faculty member.
- Collusion – when any student knowingly or intentionally helps another student perform an act of academic dishonesty. Collusion in an act of academic dishonesty will be disciplined in the same manner as the act itself.

Hi NZ Wine Sippers,
At this time of year you might find winemakers huddling inside away from the frosted vines clutching their hot mugs of plunger coffee.
Inside the lab the winemaker runs a number of bench trials that need to be tasted in order to determine the fining treatment a wine may or may not need. Fining is a not-so-secret tool used at the discretion of the winemaker for the purpose of removing solids from the wine either for clarification purposes or for fine-tuning the palate.
This 'palate polishing' can be incredibly subtle but can make all the difference! Due to the nature of wine being subject to seasonal variances there is no prescriptive fining treatment one can do year in and year out and hence fining trials must be done. Fining trials can even be done in the comfort of your own kitchen with the promise of a glass of riesling and perhaps some cheese to reward you for your efforts!
This was exactly where I tasted two fining trials for my { moi } Rosé and determined after a lengthy conversation that at this point of the production process no fining treatment tasted best!
Sometimes that happens, after all that effort, nothing needs to be done. Nevertheless, I can take comfort knowing I made an educated decision. Best get that label design sorted for my the bottling date sneaking up!

You are currently browsing the category archive for the 'MIT' category.
Over the past 15 years we have worked in all kinds of areas. Big pharma, defense, bio-tech, aerospace, manufacturing, transportation, the list is pretty broad. When I look back and try to tie it all together, reflect on what keeps me still interested, the thing that always jumps up first is cutting edge science.
Since 1999, I have been very fortunate to have an on-going relationship with MIT as well as professional relationships with many of the Institutions Principle Investigators. It is a relationship that I hold very dear, and one that has allowed me to grow personally as well as artistically.
Last week, an old friend, Prof. Vladamir Bulovic, Dir. of MTL. reached out with a particularly interesting proposition. Could we help some of his group members produce, shoot, and edit a short film explaining their new technology… Oh, and can you do it in 5 days???
Of course the answer was yes, and we dove in head first.
Because there was such a short turn-around time, the production had to be very concise. Pre-production, research, discovery and scripting was not an option… Too much fancy production value (big cameras, dollies, fancy lighting) would cause delays on set and translate into lack of time…. Multiple cameras and too much footage would cause extended logging and editing time… You get the picture. This had to go quick, but still maintain the high level of quality that our customers have come to rely on.
Fortunately for us, (and as so many today know,) we are living in the golden age of film production. With the new generation of cameras, the things that are possible today constantly blow my mind. It has really changed the landscape, and allowed us to move in ways that even five years ago could not be possible.
I wouldn't normally do so, but in order to meet our mandate, I chose to shoot all the location footage with the Nikon D4. The interviews were still shot on the Sony F3 Super35, but using the Nikon in the labs allowed us a freedom of movement that translated into a much higher volume of footage.
- First time saver: All interviews were shot daylight exterior in one general location. Yes there would be ambient noise to deal with, but since we could only afford to use a third of the shoot day doing interviews, compromises had to be made. I also believe that when an interview is outside, the viewer gives much more leeway as the reality is, life can be noisy!
- Second time saver: All footage shot in labs would also be with available light. We always move pretty quickly, but without having to move lights around on set, you can get way more done in the shoot day. Yes it might not look as good as if you took the time to light it, but with careful cinematography, you can still shoot pretty damn good images. The lack of lights also eliminates a case or two along with a heavy stand bag. This means mush less to carry and much less time setting up/tearing down. Its amazing how you can still create beautiful imagery just by paying attention to camera placement in relation to an ambient light source.
- Third time saver: Shoot hand held. Obviously the interviews were shot on stix (tripod,) but almost this entire film was shot hand held. I did bring the small Cinevate rails for one shot I wanted to get, but I primarily stayed off the crutch all day. Again, this allows for a very fast shooting style.
- Fourth time saver: Stock music. Normally we like to write our own music, but at the onset, we made the decision to go for stock. Not only is this a big time saver, but is about half the cost to the client.
- Fifth time saver: No snazzy graphics or Motion work. Traditionally in our MIT work, we have been know for some pretty cool funk. This stuff looks great, but it translates into TONS of post production work. By keeping a simple edit, we could move thru the process much faster.
After an 8hr day of shooting, we had what we needed and it was back to the studio to hit the edit bay. With the close collaboration of the client, and a couple of wee hours editing sessions, we were able to finish and deliver the 4 min film with a day to spare. The net net is a great short film that conveys the clients message, but yet was economically produced in record time. Special thanks to Farnaz Niroui. Couldn't have done it without your collaboration!If your interested in viewing the Investigator Profile we did for Prof. Bulovic, you can view here:
For our other Investigator Profile series for MIT or any other work, click here:
We've been on the road much of Feb shooting photography, but finally had some time to get back in the editing room and finish another film in our Investigator Profiles for MIT RLE.
This one is probably one of my favorites so far. This Investigator deals with mostly theory, so the big challenge for us was how to illustrate thought. To do this, we used a bunch of time lapse and motion graphic work. It was a lot of fun to work with the scientists on the shot where their mathematical computations appear in thin air and then float into the ether.
We also continued our tradition of creating a custom music track for the film. I hope you enjoy!
Just finished the latest Investigator Profile for MIT RLE. This film was cut for MIT RLE using interview and "B" roll footage left over from the Carl Zeiss Research Award film we did for a PR firm in Germany in conjunction with the The Carl Zeiss Company.
We were contacted by a PR firm in Germany to help them with a unique event.
The Carl Zeiss Research Award is given every two years for special achievements in the field of glass research. This award is often the precursor to the Nobel Prize.
As we have a close relationship with the Research Lab of Electronics where Professor Fujimoto (this years recipient) is affiliated, we were a natural partner in order to create a film to be screened at the award ceremony.
This opportunity was a win win for RLE as we would then be able to use any additional footage shot to create an "Investigator Profile" for Jim.
Stay tuned for that film…
Seems like we have been shooting and editing non-stop for the past two years. Just cranking these films out one after another… We are so fortunate to be able to keep cranking along with this "Investigator Profile" series.
Anyway… here is the latest iteration focusing on Al Oppenheim. Al is a fellow pilot, and a really interesting guy. His lab was exclusively theory, which is always a bit difficult to illustrate on film.
If you have been following our posts, you will have read that Final Cut Pro is dead… This film is the first film of ours cut exclusively with Premier. So far, we are loving it. I will try to write a post on the experience when I get a free second…
Here is our latest IP film. If your reading this in an RSS feed, click here to watch the film.
These films are now becoming ubiquitous on our filmography blog and commercial portfolio.
The RLE "Investigator Profile" or "IP Series," has been an amazing long term project now. I will have to go back and count, but we are in the 24-27 number of films now.
The challenge has always been to keep them fresh and new, while still keeping to the mandate set forth almost four years ago.
Since that first IP film, technology has moved light years. Our first films were shot on first gen Cannon XL1's and cut on FCP 1 with the most basic of production value.
These days, we are working hard to innovate using the newest in state of the art HD cameras, exploring motion graphics, and pushing the boundaries of institutional films with high end cinema tools like cranes, dollies, and helicopter work.
I have written about it before, but working on these films provides some of the most interesting and rewarding work we do. There is nothing like sitting down with an amazing individual and spending an hour chipping away at just what makes them tick.
This latest IP film features Greg Wornell. This film was a bit of a challenge at the onset because the work Greg does is mostly theoretical, and the big challenge with theory, is how to illustrate it.
To meet this challenge, we shot a lot of collaborative footage to try to show how Greg's group had great cohesion. We also experimented with shooting lots of screenshots of group members coding, then manipulating it to create cool transitions.
I think this is one of our better films, and is worth watching. If you have the six min, give it a click. I'd like to know your thoughts.
Thanks for your time.

Exciting news…
In February, we were hired by the Center for Excitioncs to shoot and produce a film for the "Life at the Frontiers of Energy" film contest. This film was particularly interesting for us as it encompassed everything we love about this genre of film making: High tech/cutting edge science, dynamic researchers, interviews, time lapse, travel… it had it all.
The film was principally shot on location in Cambridge, but incorporated film we shot 0n high desert of Arizona at one of the largest Solar fields in the US, as well as New Zealand with it's epic panoramic landscapes.
This morning, we got word that the film has been selected as a winner, and will be screened in Washington D.C. on May 25th.
Congrats to everyone involved! We couldn't have put it together without all your hard work.
This is the latest film in our series covering Principle Investigators at the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT. The film covers Jongyoon Han and explores his research. This is one of my favorites thus far…

Here is another Investigator Profile film produced for MIT's RLE
Another film in our series profiling the Principle Investigators over at MIT's Research Lab of Electronics
This film was actually completed over the winter, but we forgot to upload it… It is for TOPS, "Teaching Opportunities in the Physical Sciences."
This is a short film we made to help the Investigators over at the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT learn just what to expect when it is their turn to be profiled in our series for MIT called Investigator Profiles.
To see all of the films we have made for RLE, check the RLE at MIT page on YouTube.
Thought you'd like to check out the latest Investigator Profile or "IP" film we have finished for the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT.
The principle investigator is Seth Lloyd. This project was especially cool to work on because Seth was such a riveting interview.
To view more MIT or other video content we have produced, check out our YouTube channel.
Here is the latest in our series on Investigator Profiles for the Research Lab of Electronics.
Started on another film on our RLE Investigator Profile series last Friday.
The workflow process for these films are as follows: Two camera video interview on either black or white seamless. B-roll of the subject teaching, in their lab, as well as their students. Possibly some more B-roll around campus, then into the editing room.
These films roughly take 110-150hrs of post production before they are finished, which takes roughly 8-12 days to finish. I'll post it when we finish.
To see some other RLE films, you can find them on YouTube.
Here are some of the rushes that go along with the post Movie Tools.
The footage was all shot using the Eazy-Jib.
This has been the month of movie tools! First we were using the Steadicam, and over the weekend, we wrapped up with two days of shooting with the Eazyjib crane.
Fridays shoot day was focused on shooting "B" roll for our on going film series Called Investigator Profiles for our client The Research Lab of Electronics.
We were using the Eazyjib, which is a simple counter weighted light duty film crane. The crane is split into three basic parts. The head, the arm, and the tripod. This system is fairly easy to break down and move around from scene to scene with two or three people.
We just finished the latest film in our Investigator Profile series on professors over at the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT.
This film was a lot of fun because Prof Sarpeshkar gave a great interview… Which made the edit go very smoothly. It was also the first IP film where we added the use of the Steadicam, as well as incorporated aerial photography.
I hope you enjoy!
I have to say that Monday was just one of those days. It was one of those days where I couldn't believe that I actually have the job that I do….
Monday was spent back over at MIT shooting B roll for our on going movie series featuring professors from the Research Lab of Electronics.
Most of the day we were shooting with Steadicam Pilot. For those unfamiliar with the Steadicam system, it is basically a platform that uses gimbals and springs to mitigate camera shake from a traditionally hand held camera position…. See Wikipedia for a better explanation.
The technique is pretty stylized, and shouldn't be used all the time, but for certain shots, it is unparalleled and very cool.

Last Wed was spent over at MIT at Franz Kaertner's lab. The professor had requested a simple video tour so he could show prospective new students what his lab looked like. We cut the film over the weekend, and will be posted on his groups web site.
We shot the tour down and dirty using available light, and a wireless mic. This new footage will be inter cut with more graphic photos and video captured the last time we shot in his lab.
You can watch the Investigator Profile film we produced previously here:
I will post the film when we finish final revisions.
Day two of our student portrait series for the Research Lab of Electronics. We are shooting photos of personnel from the Center for Ultra Cold Atoms. Although the client is MIT, the center is also affiliated with Harvard University, so one of the three days we are shooting is here at Harvard.
The luckiest thing that can happen to you over a career is being blessed with long term clients. For us, our longest term client is the Resaerch Lab of Electronics over at MIT. This week, we are continuing with an on-going project to photograph students and post docs.
What makes working with The Lab as well as their staff so great, is their overall tenor. The greatest gift that the Lab has given us is the allowance to be ourselves. We are constantly being encouraged and supported by their staff, especially folks like Bill Smith, Krista Van Guilder, and Dave Foss to dig deep and push our creativity.
It is because of this partnership and support that we have been able to constantly reinvent ourselves and consistently produce A level work including over 100,000 cataloged images, and 11 films.
We have been shooting these photos for over eight years now and we basically follow a simple formula: Soft box over to one side… black velvet in the back… and the assistant sits to the camera side of the light and interfaces with the subject.
One of the most important aspects of a successful photography career is good humor.
Although often times we are hired to tackle serious issues and solve complex problems for our clients, it is imperative that as professionals, we are able to keep this focus whilst still fostering an atmosphere of fun.
To achieve this, we often involve our clients in good natured fun during down time. This keeps everyone's spirits up, and includes them in what can often be a long and focused day.
The series of photos above features our friend Shukru over at the Research Lab of Electronics at MIT. Sukru is a ham, and loves to get involved when we are goofing around. We shot these photos while waiting for a subject to arrive to be photographed. We had 24×24 prints made, and gave them out to his office mates. Everyone got a nice laugh.
Just finished another film.
This one was to showcase CIPS or the Center for Integrated Photonic Systems. The film follows basically the same format that we have been using for all the films done for RLE at MIT.

iPhone 4 Verdict? Awesome.
Got my iPhone 4 via FedEx. The 1-1/2 hours pre-ordering online was worth it. So far the darn thing is awesome. I love it. Here are some notes on my experience:
- Display is so sharp. Kindle app text looks like paper. I can *easily* read even using the smallest font!
- The ability to work with my work Exchange email/contacts and personal email/contacts separately or combined is wonderful.
- NOTE: To sync a Google Apps account, the domain must have "Enable Google Sync" enabled in the domain's Google Apps Mobile settings section.
- There's a weird issue when using Google Apps email. Due to some issue with the way Google sets things up, the iPhone's autolock timesout immediately causing you to have to enter your passcode alot. According to this forum posting, Google is going to fix it soon.
- Very heavy, so fear of dropping is high.
- Confirmed the antenna problem when you hold in your left hand. The Body Glove shell case I bought seems to fix. No big deal.
- Multitasking! Can finally run Pandora in background while doing other things!
- I wish there was some way to immediately close an app rather than having to go to the Multitasking ribbon, select and then close an app. I've heard though that iOS4 hibernates some apps, so even though they are there, they aren't really running. You can't really tell by looking at it. Also, supposedly it will eventually close apps and won't keep adding to the ribbon forever. BTW, apps are ordered based on last used.
- Very little shutter lag with camera. Seems to take nice pictures, but I haven't really tested it much.
- Was able to add my long-time ST:TNG ringtone by following the instructions here. Not as easy as on the Nokia, which lets you just point at any sound file, but, hey, it works. A little disappointed you can't change the text message alert tone in a similar manner. How dumb.
- Call quality on my side is way better than any Nokia I've had including my N97
- The iPhone email client is lame. It's weird how you have to mark folders in the settings or you can't see their contents.

Please upgrade here. These earlier versions are no longer being updated and have security issues.
Upgrade suggestion needed :)
edited January 2019 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8
Hi to all,
It's been quite sometime since my last post, I'm back to being newbie again.
Just wish to seek your opinion...
If you have an old version of around v 2.0/2.1 , do you recommend upgrading to v2.6 or should I wait for v2.8?
I have read that 2.8 is just around the corner.
Thanks in advance.
whu606 I'm not a SuperHero; I just like wearing tights... Moderator
You should upgrade to 2.6 as a matter of urgency, as earlier versions contain various security vulnerabilities which the latest version has patched.
Separately, it makes sense to upgrade now, so that you can iron out any issues with plugins/themes etc.
I'd recommend that you do the upgrade on a test server first, so that you have time to work things out without taking down your live site.0

|Type of law
|Allotment of tax-free tribal tobacco
|State limits the amount of tax-free tobacco products sold to tribes using a quota or allotment system, typically calculated on tribal population and national consumption figures. This also includes the use of a coupon or voucher system, where tribes provide vouchers to distributors/wholesalers in exchange for tax-free cigarettes, and the state refunds wholesalers for taxes paid on cigarettes purchased with vouchers.
|Codified laws
|State laws addressing tobacco taxation that, due to tribal sovereignty, generally only dictate behaviour off reservation. These laws include mechanisms such as tax stamps, and can apply to non-tribal consumers making tobacco purchases on tribal lands, or off-reservation tribal activity. Codified laws are those that have been formally adopted by a state legislature (statutory law) or executive branch agency (administrative law or rules or regulations).
|Compact formation
|State addresses the formation of intergovernmental agreements between state and tribe(s), including general agreements that do not pertain specifically to tobacco products. Compacts function as contracts between governments, and allow a state more flexibility when enforcing its tax laws on non-members making purchases on tribal lands. The existence of codified compact formation guidance does not necessarily indicate a state's actual and current use of intergovernmental agreements.
|On-reservation tax stamp usage addressed
|State addresses the use of tobacco excise tax stamps for products sold on reservation, including those states that explicitly prohibit stamping. These laws also dictate which products sold on reservation (if any) require tax stamps.
|Products for which tribe prepays state excise tax
|State requires tribes to prepay excise tax on cigarettes, typically refunding tribes for cigarettes purchased by tax-exempt consumers. This includes laws specifying which cigarette products, if any, require prepayment.

Stepping Back
Strands of colour,
Separate yet interwoven.
Each hue
Influences the weaving,
Defines the other.
A complex tapestry:
Indiscernible when close;
Recognisable only at a distance.

Fair Winds and Following Seas
Unload the cargo that brought you to this dock.
Get out the maps and chart your course.
Cast off the tethers that hold you fast;
They have served their purpose
But now it's time to depart this dark harbour.
Weigh anchor before the dawning light.
Do not delay for fear the tide won't turn;
It will as sure as night fades into day.
Steer your ship with hope towards calmer seas
Although they are beyond the horizon.
Celestial markers will indicate the way.
Take heart that other tempest-docked travellers
Have lived to tell tales of better days.

German Mark
Eastern Goths of the modern day:
Bodies pierced,
Hair recut in the style of the barbarian,
Drab dark dress,
Colourless lives.
Separated from the affluent world that surrounds them
By an alcohol induced fog and a haze of tobacco and drugs,
The Goths, in solidarity, stamp against the cold and fading light.
Their graffitied environment,
Outmoded marks,
Record the impulse to imprint
That they were ...
An unaddressed wound in a wary West.

I saw, but didn't 'see', the seasonal changes,
The effects of temperature and light,
The landscape palette:
Summer's orange wash,
Winter's mauve hues.
I gave little thought to
Bird life feeding one day
Then disappearing the next
Before the skeletal starkness,
The muted cold of winter.
I responded reflexively to the thaw,
Welcoming daylight's edge toward Spring.
I heard birds return with a song and a screech,
Signaling the seasonal shift.
The warbling, glottal throaty harmonies of currawongs,
The antiphony undersong of dawn,
The variegated native grasses,
The masses of wildflowers decorating roadside and grassland
Were the unrealized backdrop to my life.
Living in San Antonio, Texas,
Seasons assumed new meaning.
From Spring to Fall
As daylight lingered,
Skeins of bats unfurled,
In the unyielding darkness of caves,
Responding to a pre-programmed call.
In twilight, they emerged,
In whorls,
Flying overhead,
Wave after wave,
Devouring in a frenzy the insect horde,
The sky a flickering canvas of bat shadows and twilight.
In Autumn,
Monarch butterflies migrated,
In a light flurry of stained-glass wing,
Sensing their way to roosting havens
Before the freeze of winter.
In Spring
Flocks of birds,
Over two miles long,
Peppered the sky,
Surged on the pulse of air currents,
Northward bound,
Fireworks bursts of black against the brilliant sky.
Goings and comings,
Ebb and flow,
The dying and blossoming of nature,
Dark moments when all seems lost,
Light days as hope returns.
Dark lines, shades, and shadows
In Life's landscape,
Do more than focus the eye,
They define the scene and seen.

We will do our May Crowning a little later in the month. I thought that I knew every Church song possible, but Holy Mary is a new one to me. Thanks for sharing. Gonna add it to our repertoire!
The Teacher's Desk 6
I am glad you like this song. It is truly one of my favorites. Thanking for taking time to leave a comment. It helps us know that our new collaborative blog is worth our time and efforts.
Thanks Charlotte for the printables! These are cute and easier to color for my Pre K kids!
I hope you and your Pre-Kids find some fun ways to color or decorate them. I just drew these today, so I will be playing with ideas this week too.
Loved the craft...I printed and used for my daughter's AHG / Pathfinder meeting tonight. Attendance was low, but the moms of the girls who participated LOVED the finished project, and the girls had a blast decorating with the tissue.
Chasing Grace,
I am so glad you and your children liked the project. I just finished making them with my kinders last week.

Thursday, January 20th, 2011
We said goodbye to our friend Stacey and gave her a camera before she left for work. One of the categories in the booklet that we hand out with each camera asks the collaborator to take pictures that have to do with work. In part the prompt asks, "…[if] there is a difference between where you are employed and what you consider your true work." Where Stacey is concerned, we already know the answer to this question.
Stacey's painting is incredible…in this pic there are new starts on the walls; but for now there is just time enough to scrape the palette clean before heading off to the day job. We said goodbye to John in his studio behind the house:
It was great to see John and Stacey – we got to catch up over strong coffee in the mornings, an excellent Thai dinner last night, and we got a much needed dose of puppy love from Merx and Coppy.
Today we finally had enough on the blog to send an e-mail (en masse) inviting people to check it out. We thought we would execute this simple task in a matter of minutes, but after a fitful couple of hours of mail bouncing back and contact groups disappearing, we finally gave up and decided to go to the Apple store on the way out of town– it was supposed to be a day in which we got "an early start." This notion has become a running joke because we can never seem to make any serious headway before noon.
The Albuquerque Apple Store was friendly and helpful, and they straightened out the uncooperative tangle of POP, STMP, ISP numbers, incoming and outgoing servers….yech.
Geeky Apple fans that we are, we located ourselves on Chele's iPhone map, navigated our way out of the mall, found HWY25 south, and we were on our way. Time of departure, 1:45pm. Whatever.
We found the El Camino Real International Heritage Center, and it was as described – some miles off of hwy25, in the middle of the desert and nowhere near anything.
The building/museum is only 6 years old and it is located south of Socorro, NM on El Camino Real. The building is also referred to as a monument and architecturally the form is sculptural, insinuating a passageway and journey. Here is the entrance:
And this is a view from the south end of the building looking north. There there is an observation platform that juts off the large outdoor theatre:
The exhibits are text heavy and being who we are, we read it all. For every idiosyncrasy we have discovered about each other on this trip (Chele will not eat apples in the car; BA travels with her kombucha scoby) being glacially slow in museums is a trait we (luckily) share.
El Camino Real (The Royal Road) was claimed for the Spanish Crown by Juan de Oñate in 1598. It was established, however, by the footfall of indigenous cultures for thousands of years before the Spaniards arrived. The trail starts in Zacatecas, Mexico and stretches 1,500 miles terminating in what is now New Mexico. Technically, the trail ends at the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo in NM. Established more than twenty years before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, El Camino Real is the oldest European route in the US. Eventually, the trail became HWY 25.
The museum tells the story of how ancient civilizations of Aztec culture became New Spain, how New Spain became Mexico, and how Mexico became New Mexico, Arizona, California, southern Nevada and Texas. The route was used for Spanish colonization and also retreat:
The museum also tells the story of Mexican Independence (1821), the Mexican-American war (1846) how 4,000 Mexicans kicked the butts of 8,000 heavily armed Napoleanic III troops (May 5, 1862, aka Cinco de Mayo. Power to the people). If anyone is keeping track, this battle took place just a little over a month before the Civil War battle of Glorietta (see Day 8).
What we didn't know was that the reason Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in the US (though not so much in Mexico outside of Puebla- it's not even a federal holiday in MX) is because even though the French eventually took back the gains achieved with the Battle of Puebla, it slowed them down by about a year. If the Mexicans hadn't set their undies in a bunch, the French–who were concerned about America's growing power and wanted the Confederacy recognized a legitimate government– could have supplied Confederate forces even more ammunition at a critical moment when the war was turning. Once the Civil War was (technically) over, the US sent tens of thousands of guns to Juarez' troops and helped defeat the French once and for all.
Since ancient times, El Camino Real has been an international thoroughfare for exploration,culture, religion, trade, arms, troops, romance…etc. One of the best perqs of traveling in the dead of winter is that you have these museums all to yourself. Even better, the guards and docents have plenty of time to chat. Lucky for us. At the ECRIHC we met José Guzman. José has an encyclopaedic grasp of history and its influence in contemporary issues. He has worked at a number of NM cultural institutions and we talked for quite some time. At some point, while discussing the importance of history, museums, re-enactment, etc José made the comment that if we actually took the time to learn about people's stories there wouldn't be so much hate in the world. We couldn't agree more. Of course we asked him to be part of the camera project…
José told us about two things we'll follow up on in the short term. He told us about a character named Tom Horn and that there was a movie of that name with Steve McQueen. Apparently Horn was an Apache scout, a lawman, a detective of dubious repute and eventually an outlaw. José told us that he had done re-enactments of Horn but had morphed him into a Vaquero scout…we are intrigued and have already put Tom Horn in the Netflix queue and José in the tumbler of potential collaborators in the future.
The other tip was that there is a section of El Camino Real that you can actually drive (the trail just parallels HWY25) by heading east into the desert just south of Truth or Consequences. It was already after 5PM and the idea that we would make it to Tucson seemed increasingly remote. And how could we resist experiencing a stretch of the actual El Camino Real known as the Jornada del Muerto (Journey of Death)? The Heritage Center sits in the Jornada del Muerto. Here's a picture looking south into it:
We had to let José lock up the museum, so we said goodbye knowing that we really meant hasta luego.
On the way back to 25, we stopped at the Santa Fe Truckstop to gas up; it's the only built structure between the museum and the highway. We knew when we pulled into the lot that it was different. The building looked like it had been randomly expanded through the years to accommodate various new ventures. Inside, there was an enormous hearth and a crackling fire.
Ice cream!
A train car had been tacked on as a cafe
there was a bar:
And a crazy painting:
Salem told us who that guy was, but I forgot to write it down; hopefully he'll post it in a comment…
BA was buying an awesome covered wagon belt buckle that she found in a small collection of antiquey things for sale in a dusty old case, and Chele was snapping pictures of some toy wagons on ledges above the booths
when a guy came in and sat down. Chele enthusiastically asked him if he minded being in a picture for our blog and he said, dryly, "You girls aren't from out west, are you?"
Joe is a trucker living in Florida but he drives all over the country. He had just driven from Miami, made eighteen drops at Lowes all the way across Texas (tropical plants) with his last drop in Albuquerque. He had left Monday morning. We were amazed that someone could cover so much ground in four days, especially considering that at each drop site he unloads and loads all the pallets, scaffolding and cargo by himself. He was staying here at the Santa Fe (the truckstop rents two rooms…we considered taking the other but after hearing how much ground Joe covered we couldn't bear the thought of having traveled only 75 miles today) and driving to Las Cruces in the morning to load cheese. A truck full of cheese. Think about that. We asked about soup and Salem said that he had home-made chicken. Since Chele was on a sort of de facto cross-country chicken soup tour starting with the Mexican chicken-avocado soup in Great Bend, KS, we each ordered a bowl. We have to say– it was the best yet. Fresh zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes…outstanding on a chilly night and so completely unexpected in this desert outpost.
Joe asked us to sit down and join him for dinner, which of course is what we were secretly hoping for. Our conversation veered from his experience as a coal miner in western Pennsylvania (age 16-23), where he was buried alive a few times, to transporting mysterious cargo for the gov't, to his rig being used as target practice by the air-force as he drove through the desert, UFO's, etc…
OK. We should explain. We were talking about kooky Roswell, NM and strange things that happen out in the desert. Joe told us he thinks that sometimes people get freaked by stuff the military is doing. Like when they use laser-lights (instead of artillery, thank god) and night time highway traffic as ground targets. Joe has seen that more than once and said that it would be really eerie if you didn't know what was going on. The gov't job entailed picking up a padlocked refrigerated trailer from a pharmaceutical company in NY and delivering it to a remote building in the Nevada desert. When he arrived, Joe was escorted to the nearest hotel 70 miles away and redelivered to the site the next morning to find the truck turned around, keys in the ignition, and not one mile added to the odometer since leaving NY. The 'disappeared' job. Joe said he had no idea what had been in the trailer. Maybe test animals, but he couldn't be sure. And did you know that while mining companies are responsible for getting miners bodies, dead or alive, out of a collapsed mine, they really only have to get something that identifies them. And that is why one's name is on every single thing carried into a mineshaft; goggles, respirator, underwear –everything.
Joe was a natural storyteller, but only because we asked. And kept asking. There were stories that he told us but politely asked that we not share publicly, and in the end he gave us his cell number in case we ever got lost or needed advice about a route or perhaps a tip on where to find a good truckstop. If this trip is about understanding what America is up to, with Joe we hit pay-dirt. We reluctantly said good-bye, paid for his dinner, gave him a hug and asked him to be part of the camera project.
We decided to travel the Jornada del Muerto in the morning and therefore it made sense to get a room in Truth or Consequences (T or C as the locals refer to it). Salem, the owner of the truck stop (a Palestinian immigrant whose been in NM for 25 years), said it was a cute town and he thought we'd like it. T or C has plenty of motels which, as a rule, we choose over hotel chains.
The main drag through T or C was really dead and it felt later than it actually was. We looped through town and decided on a motel at the north end by the way it looked on the rise of the road, it's cute orange picket fence and old mullioned windows. We were greeted by a friendly British guy and his enormous bear of a dog, Penny. We had been talking to Hans for 15 minutes (about hot springs, kombucha, medicinal kelp… you know, typical check-in stuff) when his daughter Felicia peeked through the office door. He chided her about coming out when there were guests, but she was bored. She asked us if we wanted to see her fish made from a sock. Are you kidding? We are total sock-fish enthusiasts.
Of course, there was more. An eel —
and an ostrich—
We noticed a pile of instrument cases and mics stacked at the back of the small lobby. Hans told us he was a musician and that, among other things, he played the accordion. Felicia whispered to BA that her dad could yodel. First a truckload of cheese and down the road a yodeling, accordian-playing hotelier?!? Had we even left Wisconsin? Chele signed for the room on the condition that Hans yodel for us in the morning. Done! It took an hour to check in, but was worth every minute.
So, in the end we just weren't ready to leave New Mexico and, in fact, we were nowhere near Tucson. But that was just fine. If we hadn't had the computer problems that made Chele such a wreck, we wouldn't have been running hours behind schedule. We would've been at the Heritage Site early enough to talk ourselves out of the Jornada detour to make tracks to Tucson; and we never would have met Joe, Salem, Hans, Felicia or the sock menagerie. We channeled Roger's words which have become a mantra. We were "taking the time" which, we've discovered, is the only way to find the thing that you don't know you're looking for.
Tomorrow- The Journey of DEATH!

Testing and debugging your Scala application built with GraphQL and Sangria can't be easier with our article.
Effective test management is an important element of a software development process. A well-planned and organized test management can ensure that the best possible software is produced within fixed time and resources.
The necessity to develop increasingly sophisticated software solutions has led to comprehensive,
In this post, I am going to show how to create load tests for a REST API application with the help of Gatling 2. This will be a step-by-step guide — starting from integrating Gatling 2 using SBT plugin, creating/configuring test scenarios, and all the way to running the Gatling tests.
The primary purpose of any commercial website is to effectively sale services or products. That is where the user experience design which includes various usability solutions comes into focus. This article considers key concepts of the user experience and usability and answers the basic questions:
Here you can find out how to create integration tests for RESTful service on the example of application shown in the article "Building REST service with Scala". To create the tests, I am going to use spray-testkit DSL, as it provides a simple way to test route logic for services built with spray-routing.
Test cases are the key elements of testing, therefore the ability to write effective tests is one of the most important technical skills of a quality assurance engineer. This post covers conditions to writing efficient test cases, the most preferable naming conventions, and the best practices on structuring and writing the tests.
The modern IT marketplace of the high technologies offers the multiplicity of great solutions for software testing. In this article we review the pros and cons of the most famous web-based test management tools: SpiraTest, TestRail and TestLodge. Every of the mentioned services is the comprehensive web-based test management software that allows to control, monitor and organize effectively the testing efforts of the QA department.
Regression testing is one of the most frequently used objectives of testing. It focuses on the application retesting after changes are implemented. That changes can be local, - like new features or bug-fixes, or global, - like new business logic implementation.
Development methodology is a framework that is used to structure, plan, and control the development of software systems. Agile and CMMI Waterfall methodologies are very alike and have enough differences to be named differently. Let's consider the methodologies in detail.
Hudson is an excellent continuous integration tool and has become an indispensable assistant in software quality control for many organisations. As for this post I will describe how to couple Hudson and Grails to work in effective synergy.

Greetings from Skyview Observatory! I continue to refer to myself as a tour guide, while my location has changed to the 73rd floor of the Columbia Center in downtown Seattle.
As a Skyview Ambassador, I've shared the city sights with many visitors as we stroll the 360 degree view above the 4th and Cherry St. entrance. I'm organizing different ways to contribute to the observatory experience as an employee, and continue to develop tours while discovering new places in the city.
Thirty-three thousand tech jobs were added to our economy in the last year, and that means newcomers, and adventurous people continue to move here. Growth is change, and change should include interesting contributions, and also protections for places and activities we love. Our challenge is in determining how to allow both. Who decides? What are our values? Did someone complain seriously about rowing crews yelling during early morning practice on Lake Union? That was joke, right?
Next up: Best Guide Seattle is launching a customized tour mapping service, and like many great ideas, the details and development are nearly formed. Stand by for more information next spring. This new project will be creative, flexible, and interesting–just like Seattle weather in October!
Thanks for reading, from Margaret at Best Guide Seattle

I'm sitting here, reading Romans 5:12-14 about how all of us are born in sin through Adam and thus suffer death.
For some reason, my mind went back 7 years ago to my first blog post about Bible Study Fellowship (I've come a LONG way since then!).
I want to say I'm proud of you.
It was rough that first year. I was the first person to "blog" or "post" my answers for all to see. I was called many, many names. I can't tell you the number of times I was told I "was ruining BSF" and how "BSF is not meant to be this way". One lady (whom I had to permanently delete from comments from my blog) would lambaste me repeatedly about what a terrible person I was. I shed many a tear over my decision to do this.
But you all have hung with me, creating such a warm, inviting environment for others. And I am eternally grateful.
This year with all the changes BSF has done I know in my heart it is partly because of you all on this forum. You all posted your thoughts, your suggestions, your ideas–and BSF has listened! They saw the success of this forum (and the need). They saw you!
Now, those who are home bound can finally have a class to call their own. Or those who live hours from a class can finally get a copy of the notes online. Can attend a satellite group nearby. Can hear a lecture whenever they want. Can leave comments on Facebook. Spread the word about God with a click of the share button.
All because of you!
That's something to be proud of! Those who need God's Word most now have access. And, yes, BSF is not the only place to study the Bible, but it is one of the best bible studies in the world.
BSF now has notes in Chinese and Spanish. BSF is focusing on young people and people in developing worlds. They are using social media to reach more and more people (fascinating article HERE in Christianity Today on BSF). People who are hungry for Christ. And you all have a contribution to that!
We all must change or evolve or we die (we die anyways as Paul points out in this Romans passage). And I am so grateful BSF has changed along with the times, so it doesn't die out. So many need God now more than ever!
Thank you, thank you, thank you all! I wish I could give each and every one of you a hug!
Two things I would like to ask you to pray over:
- If led, please give to your BSF class. You can do it HERE on their website either to BSF in general, to specific areas, or to your class where a portion goes to your host church and other localities. BSF operates solely on donations and every penny counts.
2) If led, you can donate to my blog/writings as well. There's a donate button on my sidebar. That money goes to supplement my income so I can continue this ministry.
God bless each and every one of you wherever you are at in your journey with Him. He knows. He cares. He listens. He hears. He loves. He works. All for you. Amen!

Danny was very inquisitive, as all children are in their years of growing and learning. But Danny had a fascination for bees, ever since he saw one resting and flying around the beautiful flowers his mother had growing. Danny wondered where they went after they left the flowers and what they ate!
One morning Danny woke up very early. The sun was just coming up when he thought, "If I go to the flowers and wait, maybe I can see where the bees come from and where they go!" So Danny jumped out of bed and got dressed, then quietly went downstairs and outside to wait for the bees to show up.
After a few moments Danny fell asleep in the grass next to the flowers. As the sun came up higher in the sky the bees started to come and fly around the flowers, with Danny fast asleep.
About an hour later Danny's mother found him curled up on the grass. Surprisingly, the bees were all around him, flying over his head, touching his hair, and singing to him with their high hums and the low hums, then flying into the flowers.
His mother tapped Danny and said, "Wake up Danny. Wake up."
Upon hearing his mother's voice, he opened his eyes and saw the bees around the flowers.
"Why are you out here?" asked his mother.
"I wanted to see where the bees came from and go after they fly to the flowers," said Danny.
His mother helped him up carefully not to disturb the bees and took him inside the house.
"Where do they go? Where do they come from?" Danny asked his mom.
She went to the bookshelf and got a book on all small creatures and read it to Danny. With his eyes wide open he pleaded, "Can I go to the bee farm? Can I go?"
"Yes," said Danny's mother.
About a week later, Danny's mother took him to a bee farm where he saw thousands of bees and learned all about them. He still watches them on the flowers and talks to them, letting them know that he knows all about them because he's been to the bee farm!

There are a number of additional adjustments that you can make that will help your page be more readable on the small screen. Read through the tips on pages 202203. Here are the adjustments I've made to the photobarcelona site.
Adjust margins and padding
Add some space above your headers or below your paragraphs to keep sections cleanly separated (see pages 176177).
Add borders
Add a border between divisions as a visual organization aid (see page 184).
Reduce text size of minor elements
You might consider reducing the size of navigation bar links, continued and totop links, and others to keep the focus on the content. (see page 156). Use percentages and ems, not pixels.
Center content
Centering content in a small screen makes it feel like you're maximizing space, since the extra space is divided between the left and right margins equally (see page 165).
Remove image borders
If you have images that are links, consider removing the border from them so they are more attractive (see page 184).
Figure 13.19. Focus on improvements that divide the page from top to bottom, not left to right.
Figure 13.20. There's not a lot you can do on a screen that measures 120 pixels wide, so keep it simple, clean, readable, and easy to navigate.

Family Promise is a nonprofit organization committed to helping low-income families achieve lasting independence.
The problem of poverty is complex. It won't yield to a simple solution or a quick fix. It requires an integrated approach that begins with meeting immediate needs but reaches much further to help people achieve independence and to alleviate the root causes of poverty.
Our strategy is to focus our efforts on five programs that work together in a holistic, integrated approach. Because the five programs support one another, each of them is far more effective than it could be alone.
Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN)
Our networks of congregations and volunteers meet homeless families' immediate needs for shelter, meals, and comprehensive support services.
Family Mentoring
To prevent homelessness, we train volunteers to help at-risk families achieve goals and maintain self-sufficiency.
Just Neighbors
Our interactive educational program raises awareness of poverty and homelessness as the first step in establishing community-based responses.
Community Initiatives
We foster local IHN outgrowth programs, such as transitional housing, housing renovation, job training, health care services, childcare and literacy.
Voices Uniting
Volunteers work together to promote policies that alleviate poverty and improve the well-being of low-income families.

Just before 7 am I got a couple nice morning walkabouts in this quiet campground, hoping to see some sunshine today, but not really in the forecast, we will see.
|this place is a must see
