Putting a lot of time and effort into photographing your work might seem like one of the less fun aspects of making art (unless you're a photographer, of course), but it's absolutely essential – and not just because well-photographed items will sell better. You'll never regret having a high quality photographic portfolio of your pieces, especially after they get snapped up and go to live in their forever homes and those photos are all you have to remember them by. Sniffle.
Declare a No Flash Zone. Who needs fancy light bulbs and foam core, you might think, when my camera has a flash. Isn't that what flash is for – lighting things up? Yes, technically, but don't use the flash when photographing your work because that blast of light is way too harsh and focused in one area. You need nice, gentle, evenly distributed light for best results. Think morning tea in a bright, cheery sunroom versus angry cop spotlighting a Maglite into your car at night.
Three Legs Are Better than Two. Meaning: if you have a tripod, use it. If you don't have a tripod, rig up a table or a chair or some inanimate object to set your camera on because it will be steadier than you, guaranteed. The key to a clear, focused shot is a steady camera.
Set the Timer. Try your best to figure out how to use the auto-timer or self-timer on your camera so you don't risk jiggling it when you take the shot.
Fill 'er Up. The frame, that is. Try to avoid including too much wall or background around your piece because it'll just have to be cropped out anyway. Your work is the important thing here so get as close as you need to. Setting up closer to the piece is a much better option than using the zoom.
Bounce Off the Walls. Speaking of background, shooting your piece on a white wall, if possible, is generally acknowledged to be best. Firstly, a white wall won't cast a coloured glow on the work. (Richly coloured walls in museums and galleries look awesome behind artwork, but that's because our eyes can make the necessary adjustments; cameras can't.) Secondly, when you're touching up the photo in editing software later, those bits of white background will help you determine if the colour of your photo is off. If that white wall looks kind of pink, say, in the photo, then you know the whole thing has a pink cast that needs to be adjusted.
Shoot It Naked. Your artwork, of course. Get your mind out of the gutter. If you plan to frame the piece, make sure you get some good shots first because trying to get a good photo through glass (or Plexiglas or whatever) is going to be really tricky. You are a handsome devil, no doubt, but we want to see your work in the photos, not your reflection.
Be a Straight Shooter. For flat works like paintings, you'll get best results by aiming the camera straight at the centre of the piece rather than from above or below or to the side, which will distort the image.
Appreciate the Little Things. After getting great shots of the entire piece, move closer to capture some of the finer details, like amazing brushwork or incredible colours or tempting textures. Picture your potential customers leaning in for a closer look at certain intriguing areas, just like they would in person.
Click Copiously. Seriously, take tons of shots. Experiment with camera settings. Figure out what all those dials mean. Keep tweaking your lighting set-up. Clear off that memory card and go nuts because you can always delete the losers.
Adjust Accordingly. Using your favourite photo-editing software, open up the photos and assess your results. Do whatever it takes to make them the closest possible representation of your piece. This can be super frustrating because of the differences in device displays and monitor settings – what looks like fresh, leafy green on your computer can look like hideous, migraine vomit green on mine – but do your best with what you have. It'll be fine.
You Name It. When it's time to save these beautiful photo files, don't leave them with names straight out of the camera like DSC3597, whatever you do, because those mean nothing to anyone. It takes a little extra time, but label each photo worth keeping like this: yourfirstnamelastnametitleofpiece. No spaces or hyphens or anything. (If you have a variety of views of the same piece, you can add a number after the title or a description, like 'top left corner'.) Doing this will not only bring sanity and order to your own files, but will ensure your name is attached to the photo of your work when it appears online.
Get Help. Not into all this? No worries. We can't be experts at everything. Perhaps you have a friend or neighbour or relation who is crazy about photography and would be willing to help, thereby building his or her own portfolio at the same time. Win-win. Or, if you have the budget, try hiring a professional photographer. The time and frustration a pro can save you might be well worth the expense.
Have a tip you think should be included here? Let us know.

Mason County Memories: The Roseberry Plantation
The Roseberry Plantation
By Chris Rizer - Special to the Register
The Roseberry Plantation home.
This article is coming out a bit later than I'd originally planned, but the last couple weeks have been busy. However, even being late, I still want to tell you about a wonderful home and one of our county's oldest historical treasures.
Due to the location of our county, situated along two of the largest rivers in the Eastern United States, and the fact that many local homes were heated using fireplaces or wood stoves up until recently, there aren't many homes around here that date to before the Civil War. Combine floods and accidental fires with arson and demolition, and there's even fewer. That being said, the mere presence of Roseberry is a treasure. The condition of the home, near perfect thanks to Trenton and Sarah Stover and their restoration expert, Jeff Staats, places Roseberry in a category rarely seen in this area.
In 1815, Point Pleasant was still the middle of nowhere. Other than Gallipolis, the closest major settlements were at Guyandotte, Charleston, and Marietta. There were small settlements scattered along the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers, but very few large enough to warrant any kind of defenses. In Point Pleasant, the town consisted of little more than a stockade, a few wood homes, and a mill. However, it was during this very same time that Thomas Lewis, Jr., the grandson of Andrew Lewis, built his plantation just north of town. Today, the town has overtaken Roseberry, but it is still fairly secluded.
For the middle of nowhere in 1815, it's an enormous and rather expensive home. Roseberry isn't anything close to a frontier cabin. Standing two and a half stories tall, the house perfectly embodies the Federal style of architecture. It was built using elaborate Flemish brickwork, it's perfectly symmetrical, the fanlight over the door is typical of the period, and you don't even want to try to count all of the window panes. Inside, the home follows the typical central-hall, double-pile floor plan, and the craftsmanship is absolutely breathtaking. Aside from the obvious wood trim and horse-hair plaster, there's so many places where you can see the work of masters. From the literal trees used as floor joists to the detail in the window frames, it's clear that Roseberry wasn't built during a frontier house-raising party. It's very likely that Thomas brought an architect and craftsmen from his native Shenandoah Valley to design and detail the home, using Lewis family slaves as manual labor.
For the next forty years, Thomas Lewis ran his plantation from his home. During his time in Mason County, he likely met Anne Bailey, Dr. Jesse Bennett, General McCausland, and so many others of historical fame. He witnessed the Civil War, and as a matter of fact, the "Pomeroy Weekly Telegraph" records Thomas Lewis as voting in favor of Virginia's secession from the United States. Meanwhile, the other Lewis clan, those descended from Colonel Charles Lewis, ran neighboring plantations at Beechwood and Violet Lawn. Today, Beechwood is known as Old Town, and Violet Lawn, as I understand it, was lost to fire.
After Thomas' death, the plantation was sold to James Capehart, a local banker and eventual congressman from our district. He didn't live there long, selling it to Richard Spence in 1873. In 1880, the property was sold again, this time to William Owens Roseberry, a local shipping merchant. It was under his ownership that the home became known as "Roseberry," and
the inside of the home was renovated to reflect Victorian attitudes and tastes. Finally, in 1977, the home was sold to the current owners.
The home certainly has a rich history, but the land upon which it sits has one even older. The area is the site of the Shawnee's river crossing just prior to the Battle of Point Pleasant, one of George Washington's camps during his surveying trip of 1770, a Shawnee town before that, and a Fort Ancient village and burial mound almost a thousand years ago.
The property is certainly a historical treasure, and I'm very happy that the Stovers are maintaining that history. I've toured the house throughout its restoration, and the progress is just amazing. My most recent visit, two weeks ago, was with a descendant of William Lewis, Thomas' brother, and a representative of the local D.A.R. It's absolutely worth a visit if you hear about a tour.
The next meeting of the Mason County Historical and Preservation Society will be at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 11 at the Mason County Library in Point Pleasant. We will be planning the summer's cemetery projects.

The AP Preseason Top 25 College Football Polls Are Out! Overreact Now!
Posted By Grant Lucas on August 20, 2018
Break out the oversized, satirical cymbals! Let the sardonic rings of gongs fill the air! The Associated Press Preseason Top 25 college football poll has been announced!
Oh, joy! The season hasn't started but it has already been decided! Hooray, we did it!
But seriously, guys, c'mon. Rein in the enthusiasm/conspiracy theories. This whole thing is ridiculous.
Pointless is as pointless does
Preseason polls are pointless. Take this tweet from Jeff Schultz, a senior writer for The Athletic.
Remember how big a deal this used to be? https://t.co/vDaz4Ok2Ul
— Jeff Schultz (@JeffSchultzATL) August 20, 2018
They are biased. Not in the same sense that fans make it seem. "Why do (insert poll creators) hate (insert your team) so much? These guys are clearly (insert political view you vehemently disagree with even though you don't actually understand what it is or why)!"
Polls themselves hold recency bias. They are based on the previous week's results. That's fine. It makes sense.
But preseason? Clickbait. Click chumbucket. Click diaper-dumpster-fire. But, hey, I guess conversations have to start somewhere. And I supposed some reference is needed when it comes to somewhat-educated sports betting.
So, here goes… I guess…
For those who care too much
Typically with sports betting, there are two groups of folk: those who take rankings as gospel, and those who think they know better than the rankings/experts/everyone.
An unborn child could have predicted the preseason No. 1: Alabama. For the third straight year (a feat matched only once historically), the Crimson Tide came in at the top spot heading into the season. National champs twice in the last three years (and five times since 2009) are followed by *feigning shocked face* Clemson, the preseason's No. 2 team for the second time in three seasons.
Third is Georgia, last year's national runner-up. Then comes the Big Ten bores Ohio State and Wisconsin and the "well, we have to give the Pac-12 some love" Washington Huskies.
Betting on the CFP championship has become as much fun as the NBA Finals.
Then again, there is some hope for a solid payday.
Consider the 2017 playoffs: Of the final four teams, only Bama was ranked in the top four before the season. Georgia was actually 15th. In 2016, two final four teams were not among the preseason top four; in fact, Washington was 14th. Three of the top 10 teams in the final CFP poll entered the season unranked. The previous season, Clemson and Oklahoma entered the year ranked 12th and 19th, respectively, yet ultimately made the CFP playoffs.
So not all is chalk when it comes to the college football championship. Last year, even, the preseason No. 1 (Bama) needed a Hail Mary selection just to sneak into the playoffs. (*throws stapler across the room in disgust*)
With Ohio State swirling in its own coaching debacle, with Wisconsin/Michigan/Penn State beating each other up year-in and year-out, the Big Ten could be a shoo-out of the playoffs. Same goes for the SEC outside of Alabama and Georgia. Go with the Tide if you dare do the math on 19-10 odds, or with Clemson because 3-1 odds are easier to calculate. Even Georgia is 9-1, which is insanely reasonable.
Put faith in Touchdown Jesus and lay money down on Notre Dame at 40-1, or trust Mark Richt, if you dare, to lead Miami (at 50-1) to the title.
For the self-proclaimed experts
Go with your gut. Because obviously, you don't care what's written here. To you, this portion is as pointless as the preseason rankings themselves.
To that, I tip my backwards hat… but will be the first to laugh when your Michigan pick goes down in flames by Week 6.

Steve Jobs Feb 24, 1955 - Oct 5, 2011
Honors & Accomplishments
Special Memories
The life and work of Steve Jobs
Feb 24, 1955- Steve is born
College student Joanne Schieble gives birth in San Francisco to a boy who is adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs of Mountain View, Calif., and named Steven Paul Jobs.
Jan 1, 1976- First Apple computer is built
College dropouts Steve Jobs, 21, and Steve Wozniak, 26, build the first Apple computer in a garage in Los Altos, Calif. The pair raise $1,300 by selling a van and two calculators and launch Apple as a company on April Fools' Day.
Jan 1, 1977- The first Apple II computers go on sale
The first Apple II computers go on sale for $1,295 and become an instant hit. The Apple II is the first computer to display color images and the first to come with a keyboard, and in 1979 it becomes the first to offer a "killer app" – Visicalc – a spreadsheet program.

Aaand he's going in for the defense, and he's got the ball! No wait, that's no ball, that's his opponent's head! Where is this guy going? Well, to your most favorite gaming console, of course! Too much? Sorry, was really trying to be a b-ball game commentator. Too bad Shaq Fu is nowhere near a basketball game – but you know that already, right?
The first Shaq Fu, released two decades ago, is a fighting game featuring professional basketball player Shaquille O'Neal as the main protagonist. I've only seen the original Shaq Fu is listicles about some of the worst video games in history. Coming from that thought alone made me realize why they made a new one.
A lot can be said about Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn, and half of them are not good. Which, fortunately, could also mean half of them are not bad. Heck, from what I've seen (and heard and read), I can positively say Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is a better game than its predecessor.
Yeah, I wonder why, too.
The cutscenes are skippable, and if you're easily offended, I suggest you just skip them. In A Legend Reborn, Shaq was abandoned by his biological mother as a baby, dumped into the ocean in a floating basket. Like how the Prince of Egypt started. He was then raised by an old stereotypical Chinese man, who acts wise but is actually not. After being killed by some enemies, Shaq then seeks revenge for his fallen mentor as he travels overseas to kill some celebrities.
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn, unlike the original, is your typical side-scrolling beat-em-up. You move Shaq to the right as while waves and waves of enemies try their dumbest to defeat you, halting you from progression.
Enemies come in different types, and all of them gets hit by every other obstacle another opponent throws at you. This gameplay lets some players be creative by how they eliminate each one of the villains. But that's only if you're bored by all the mashing of buttons for kicking and punching. There are flashy moves and slow motion takedowns, but it gets a hell lot repetitive after the second level.
This version of Shaq Fu introduces numerous ways to kill your enemies faster, like a mecha suit where you only get to hold down one button while Shaq unleashes a flurry of punches. Though you have to keep an eye on the overheat meter because if it boils to a point, Shaq loses control. But it's as easy as pressing a button to let the steam off, literally. That could also send the baddies flying.
At the end of every level is a boss fight so slow and borderline boring and repetitive you'd wonder if you're just fighting a mid-boss. There are gimmicks on them to make them unique, like this one robot puppet where you have to destroy the electric beams before you can deal damage to the main target. There's also this Beiber-looking mastermind named Baby, with his Dance Dance Revolution-like minigame getting him served by our man Shaq.
The coins are for what now..?
Along the way, you collect health potions and coins. However, the coins you collect serve no real purpose to the gameplay. You can't even upgrade your skills. Took me a trip down to the main menu to know this – which I did when I was halfway through the game. Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn can be finished in just a couple of hours, by the way.
Blandness aside, I have to admit the writers are superb. They made A Legend Reborn self-aware. Starting the game, you are greeted with a disclaimer stating all characters are fictional, yet they're obviously based off of real-world celebrities. They also made sure to make the in-game tutorials and script sarcastic at their best.

Where is Sarah Benford?
Sarah Benford, 14, was last seen on April 6, 2000, in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England, after fleeing a children's home in Northampton three days before.

About 85 miles northwest of London sits the town of Kettering in the county of Northamptonshire, where Sarah Benford resided on Havelock Street with her mother, Vicki Benford, stepfather Gavin, brother Josh, and sister Anya.
Sarah's life was rough from the start. Social services made their first home visit when she was two. While in reception (pre-K in the U.S.), she began skipping school, and at around age eight, she started running away from home.
As she entered her teen years, Sarah started using drugs and hanging out with drug addicts and petty criminals. She also huffed aerosols and began self-harming.
Benford agreed to put her daughter into the care of Northamptonshire County Council's children's services to get Sarah away from that crowd. By age 14, Sarah had been in three children's homes and had run away on several occasions.
Sarah eventually moved into Welford House in Northampton, less than 20 miles from Kettering. Welford House is a residential home for children with behavioral and emotional problems.
On March 31, 2000, Sarah, 14, ran away from the children's home, but officials found her on April 2. Staff records showed she admitted to having sex with men. The age of consent in England is 16. As far as I can tell, the staff never reported it to the police. Police and social services have said that Sarah had sex with men for money, yet nobody did anything to help her.
Sarah ran off again the following day, April 3, and staff reported her missing.
Three days later, on April 6, 2000, Sarah visited her mother at Benford's workplace, an amusement arcade in Kettering town center. They argued, and Sarah left. That was the last time Benford saw her daughter.
Later that day, Sarah called her mother from a residence on Hamden Crescent. Sarah said she did not want to return to Welford House and that she had started using heroin. Benford could tell that her daughter was high. She called the police and begged them to pick Sarah up and take her back to the care home, but they refused to respond.
Northamptonshire Telegraph reported that "officers told care home staff they 'could not and would not' collect her and would not 'take her to Kettering Police Station to babysit her.'"
Sarah disappeared after the phone call with her mother.
When Sarah fled Welford House, she left her diaries and rucksack behind and only took the clothes she wore when she visited her mom. BBC reported she did take a green and navy rucksack, so I don't know which is correct.
Benford later said that Welford House let Sarah come and go as she pleased instead of enforcing a strict environment for her safety.
Undoubtedly, the police and social services failed Sarah and ignored signs that she was a victim of sexual exploitation.
As time passed, authorities realized that foul play might be involved in Sarah's disappearance. Northamptonshire Police finally started an investigation which took them to Wales in July 2000. There, they searched a suspect's house on Oakwood Estate in Maesteg.

Jennifer Lynn Pandos: Missing Since 1987
I-275 Vanishing: What happened to 17-year-old Karen Spencer?
What Happened to 16-year-old Kevin Hicks?
The suspect had moved from Kettering to Maesteg after Sarah's disappearance, and his daughter and Sarah were friends. Police had searched his former Kettering home before the one in Maesteg.
However, police found no evidence tying him to Sarah's disappearance and ruled him out as a suspect.
Four months after Sarah went missing, workers at Service Six in Wellingborough told police that a pimp and a known prostitute brought Sarah in for a pregnancy test in August 2000.
Police arrested a 29-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman, both from Kettering, on suspicion of supplying Sarah with drugs. It is unclear who the couple was, whether they were the pimp and prostitute or what happened to them after their arrest.
Authorities put Sarah's photograph on 10 lorries, and the National Missing Children organization used her face to relaunch its website in March 2002.
In 2003, a young girl resembling Sarah was captured on CCTV footage in Kettering. However, the police said the girl was not her.
Sarah's family has accused the police of not taking her disappearance seriously in the beginning because she was a problematic child. Vicki Benford and her family went to the media to raise awareness and force the police to do more.
Around Sarah's 17th birthday, her family made a public appeal for her to make contact; she never did. They also appealed for information regarding her disappearance, but no one came forward.

In 2003, Derbyshire Police performed a case review and looked at the weaknesses within Northamptonshire Police's investigation. However, the police never made the results public.
A year later, a case review into the county council children's services department found it to be "significantly understaffed," Wales Online reported.
The investigation into the missing teenager became known as "Operation Yacht." Northamptonshire Police launched a murder inquiry in September 2003, more than three years after Sarah's disappearance. According to Wales Online, "Officers admitted they had little evidence to suggest Sarah was still alive more than two or three months after she vanished." This makes no sense because of the sighting of Sarah at Service Six, four months after she went missing.
Detectives made eight arrests in Sarah's disappearance but never charged anyone with the crime.
Nearly 20 years after Sarah vanished, Northamptonshire Police received a vital tip about the possible location of Sarah's body. They spent two weeks in November 2021 excavating land in the Valley Walk area of Kettering near River Ise using archaeological experts, cadaver dogs, flyovers, and site surveys. The location is about a mile from the Benford residence on Havelock Street.
Detective Superintendent Joe Banfield was "positive we will find her." However, they found nothing. Police said recently they continue following up on leads in Sarah's disappearance.
Sarah is one of many children who have disappeared from children's homes in the United Kingdom.
According to a Dec. 10, 2008 story in The Independent, "A survey of 172 local authorities in England and Wales who care for 28,000 children found between 376 and 389 young people were missing and councils did not know where they were. The true figure is probably higher because six authorities said they did not keep records of missing children."
I feel sorry for this kid. She never stood a chance; I think certain people could have done more to help put her on the right path. Sarah's delinquent behavior likely resulted from something traumatic, such as abuse. She had been getting into trouble her entire short life, yet, people seemed to ignore all the signs.
Who or what caused Sarah to flee Welford House? I feel that something happened there because she fled twice over a period of a few days and did not want to return. I could find nothing — good or bad — on Welford House.
The last time Sarah fled Welford House was April 3, 2000. She saw her mother on April 6. What did they argue about? Where did she stay for THREE days? Who helped her? How did she get from Northampton to Kettering?
Sarah did not take any belongings with her, which doesn't make sense when she did not want to return. This could suggest that she left in a hurry for whatever reason. Maybe someone or something frightened or hurt her.
Why didn't staff at Welford House take the fact that Sarah admitted to sleeping with MEN seriously? She was 14 and unable to give consent. I want to know what exactly went on there because something sure as hell did.
Why did the police rule out Sarah's friend's father as a suspect? Obviously, they had good reason to dig in Kettering and Maesteg. Was he sexually involved with Sarah?
Sarah hung out with the wrong crowd. Any one of these people could have forced her into sex trafficking. If she owed a drug debt, dealers would make her earn money back or kill her.
We have the sighting of Sarah with a pimp and known prostitute. And if you come after me for using "prostitute" instead of "sex worker," just know that I am done sugarcoating the oldest profession, so you would be wasting your time. I do not know if the police confirmed this sighting, but it makes sense. They brought her to Service Six for a pregnancy test. What happened to her afterward?
There is a history of physical and sexual abuse within children's homes in the UK. So, I would not be surprised if this had occurred at Welford House.
Police definitely believe that Sarah's body is in Kettering somewhere. I read that they also searched an area in 2016, too, but found nothing. I doubt Sarah is alive somewhere, but I can understand if she ran away and did not want to be found.
Sarah's family still resides in Kettering.

So, we were both up by 7:30 on Friday, July 27th. I was actually up just before 7 and went for a walk to the corner of North Line and Baptist Church Road. It was the first time in a long time that I've gone beyond the driveway's end.
When I returned, Bill was up and we made our morning brew together. As we were sitting at our laptops, we read news from our blogger friends and I went into Facebook. I read a few of the latest posts on FB and then play Scrabble and Words with Friends.
Today, I shouldn't have. Well, it could have happened anyway. My computer came up with a huge warning of threats and potential viruses etc. (I'm sure you have had the scare at some time or another) and it froze. I was unable to exit, close or turn my laptop off. It recommended we call a number at Microsoft for immediate help. "No!" you are saying. Well, where were you when we needed you? LOL Yes, we called and got hooked into a very convincing scam. SCAM!!
My laptop is only a couple of years old and I wasn't about to take any chances………so I thought! Thirty minutes at least on the phone, later I was to leave my laptop alone for a possible 2 hours while they did their thing, freeing up the 'so-called viruses' and giving me back my laptop WITH a 2-year protection plan costing us upwards of $200. We were just sick at spending that money but felt it was necessary.
Without going further into more of this fiasco, we discovered we were scammed and Bill took my laptop to a 3rd party, reputable computer store in Hanover. It felt like I was missing an arm all afternoon, without it. Anyway, the day went on and I cleaned up and drove into Durham to visit Mom at 11. We had a wonderful visit, an improvement of 99% over the last one. I left there and did some shopping in town before returning to the Suite.
Bill had been waiting for his shed lumber to arrive from Rona and as we sat with Rob and Pat (they arrived just after lunch, much to Clemson's delight – 'finally!' he thought) the huge load came. The driver impressed me as most tractor trailer drivers do, he backed the rig up the long drive and offloaded by a remote-control device strapped over his shoulder, like a lady's purse. Impressive technology today. Both Bill and I took snapshots of this, it was pretty neat to watch.
Mike arrived from the Acreage a short time later and before we knew it, Bill and Rob joined him and they were building!
The frame for the floor went down within a matter of minutes. I daresay Mike knows what he's doing! I'm sure Bill was just thrilled with how it was coming together so quickly.
He's never gone down there before!
When the rain put an end to the work, well that and the fact that Mike had already worked today, Mike left and Rob, Pat, Bill and I sat first with a tea and then a Happy Hour drink. The sky all day was not something you'd want to place a bet on. Nothing lasted more than a few minutes and it changed.
We borrowed some water from Rob, who gave us a jug full to get us through the evening dishes and morning Keurig fill-up. Thanks guys. Rob also brought me a dish of his stewed rhubarb so for dessert, I had some in a bowl with a scoop of Chapman's Black Cherry ice cream. Oh my! I'm sure I deserved that treat. When Bill came in later, he had some ice cream too, not wanting to 'spoil' (his words) the rhubarb by mixing.
Clemson and I were in bed around 10 or was it 10:30 and dropped right off. I knew I was tired with the running around and after walking a total of about 4 miles today. I also managed at some point in the afternoon to get out the weed trimmer and take the tops off the spindly weeds in the area off the patio. That makes it look much nicer. Next time, I'll go further down the corral hill. So, that was last night.
Today, Saturday, July 28th, I was up again before 7 and even though it was cloudy, took a walk to the corner. Arriving there, the rain spatters joined me. They weren't heavy but wet enough for me to turn around and return home. Bill was getting up around 7:30 and headed directly over to the Acreage to fill the water bladder. He's still working on the water pump problem. Rob and Pat had a party to go to so they left around 8 for Durham. They'll be back later today.
I decided since it was a wet, cool day, I took the opportunity to do a thorough job of dusting the woodwork in the Suite. It needed it. By the time I finished that, the call came in that my laptop was ready so I scooted to Hanover to pick it up. If we're lucky, we'll get our money back by sending an email to the scammers. They tried to impress upon us that they were legit so let's see them prove it!
After leaving Healthy Computers, I drove to the Bread Store for a loaf of bread and while there, took a tour through Salvation Army. I was only looking for a few colourful pillow cases. I found some at .50 a pop. Perfect! I was stealing (?), no borrowing an idea from Pat on how to protect our wooden dining chair backs. I loved the idea when I saw it on her chairs and it will work on ours too.
I stopped at Grant's Independent grocery store and picked up a few more groceries, mainly lunch items for the workers at the Ridge. Back home, I noticed that our second reservation had arrived. George and Suzie's coach was backed into Site #3. It was very nice to see them again too. There is still room for another camper in between but unlike last year, Gerry and Melinda will not be coming. The bunky is set up but it isn't needed this weekend. That's unfortunate but c'est la vie.
I was very surprised and excited to see how much Bill, Mike and Gerry had done on the shed. I snapped some more pictures after unloading the Rav and Donna and I made up some buns for lunch. It is amazing how good a lettuce, ham, tomato and cheese sandwich tastes when you are hungry. I hadn't eaten anything yet at all so felt ravenous.
Looks to me like Emily has a lot of male supervisors!
I cleaned up the few dishes while the guys went back at it. The rain returned, more than a light rain but they forged on until Mike's daughter, and employee, stopped in to give them a hand. Surprisingly, after she arrived and donned her tool belt, the skies seemed to change. Sun appearances were more constant and the rain stopped for the remainder of the afternoon.
At 4:30 they called it quits for the day and enjoyed a beer while they rested on lumber. Clemson was down a few times, checking out the process.
When they left, Rob, Pat, George, Suzie, Bill and I took our chairs to Site #2 for Happy Hour. Clemson got a couple of treats from Pat and tried his darnedest to beg for more. He knew where they were kept! At 6 or 6:30 we went our separate ways for supper. Holy! I hadn't given supper much thought so it was a 'look after ourself' kind of meal. That worked for us today as it has oft in the past.
Since I had some leftover lasagna from a meal early in the week, Bill was quite content to have a toasted tomato and cheese sandwich. We cleaned up dishes and Bill started the fire to see if anyone was interested in sitting around it for a while tonight. They were and we gathered for a couple of hours until the mosquitoes sent us back inside.
We watched a bit of Live PD before calling it a night. This has been a great day. A lot was accomplished, new company arrived and we are enjoying the time with friends.
Thank you for stopping in. Your comments are always appreciated.
What a couple of busy days for you guys. Too bad about the scam on your computer , glad that you git it fixed up and running well again.
The Shed it coming together very quickly and will be a wonderful addition to the ridge.
So nice to be back here at the ridge again and having fun with you guys. Thanks for your hospitality.
Great days, we always have fun together.
We are happy to have you both!
Wow your shed went up FAST!!! Those guys are pros! So sorry to hear about your computer. The scammers are so sophisticated any more, it's really hard to know. For future reference, IMMEDIATELY turn it off and unplug for a couple of hours. When you turn it back on, it should be fine. Has happened to me a couple of times. It's when you click on something that you get in trouble. If you paid with a credit card, call the company and tell them you were scammed, disputing the charges. They should take it off and refund your money.
I know, Mike could probably build sheds with his eyes closed.
Good tips that we will definitely remember. I tried to shut it down but it wouldn't. didn't think of the taking the battery out. duh!
Fingers crossed we'll get our $ back. Nick had a good tip above and we've called the bank who holds our credit card.
You've been keeping busy taking care of normal things along with all those extras.
The shed is coming along nicely. You'll have a small settlement there before long.
You have lost your money to the Scammers but it's a lesson learned. Try contacting your Credit Card Company to explain that it was a Scam and they might reverse the charge.
When your Laptop freezes like that remove the Battery. When you restart it will go through a self-diagnoses mode. If you already have an Anti-Virus in place simply X off those warnings.
We have been busy and Bill will be happy for his new 'workshop'.
I was unable to X out of the warning nor shut it down so Nick and our friends had the suggestion to remove the battery. NEXT TIME! Thanks.
Sorry to read about the scam. God they are brutal. You are not the first or last to fall for it. Glad you have moved on from it. Roland's brother lost $500.00 to the microsoft phone scam. He is the brother that has very little financial funds. Felt really bad for him. Enjoy the rest of your summer and see your one day soon.
Thank you Lori. We feel so stupid falling for it, they are def good at what they do. Blech!
Too bad about the scam! Could you call your bank or credit card and have them do something? My sis in law dropped $500.00 and she still doesn't believe she was scammed and it was basically the same as yours. Love Love Love the shed and how fast it's coming together! What a team Clemson has working for him. Happy Hour looks like so much fun!
Clemson knows how to pick his workers for sure!
Nice to reconnect, and thanks for your recent comments. Looks like you'e had a good summer. That's quite the party you've got going on. Does Bill's new shed mean more planes, or a new hobby? Sure goes up fast if yrou have a team who know what they're doing!
How wonderful to hear from you F.G. The summer is going well and nevertheless, zipping by! We have a nice little rv'ers reunion and it feels good to have space to offer.
I haven't been reading blog post for a while (too busy I'll post about it later) but Benno alerted me to your post. Good job on the new shed and fantastic that Bill will also get his "man cave" to work on his planes. The issue with the scam and the frozen computer is too bad. I feel truly sorry for you. It happened to us many years ago frequently while we were on the boat and I had to use our satellite phone (expensive minutes) to call our son, (he is an IT guy) to tell me what to do to unfreeze it and to get rid of the virus. However, our son told us to get a Mac computer next time we were in the need of a new one and ever since we've switched to MacBook Pro (2013) and iPad we had no more trouble, thanks God!
Enjoy your RV get-together with your friends. That is a neat thing you are doing and I'm sure you are all having fun. Also hi to George and Suzie.
Darn scammers, we sure fell for it. Luckily, we only went the cheapest route but it is still hard earned money possibly lost.
I will pass on your 'hi' to George and Suzie.

Abraham Lincoln ist eine US-amerikanische Filmbiografie aus dem Jahre 1930 über den 16. Präsidenten der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika mit Walter Huston, der hiermit seinen Durchbruch zum Filmstar erlebte, in der Titelrolle. Es war der erste Tonfilm des Stummfilmregisseurs D. W. Griffith und zugleich seine vorletzte Inszenierung überhaupt.

Handlung
Die Geschichte, die recht statisch die einzelnen Lebensstationen des nachmaligen Staatsmannes abhakt, beginnt mit einem Prolog im Jahre 1809, dem Jahr, in dem Lincoln in einer stürmischen Nacht in einer ärmlichen Holzhütte geboren wurde. Seine Erwachsenenlaufbahn wird ab dem Zeitpunkt geschildert, als Abraham Lincoln 22 Jahre alt ist und in einem Gemischtwarenladen zu arbeiten beginnt. Im Frühjahr 1834 wirbt der junge Abe um die reizende Ann Rutledge, seine wohl größte Liebe, die jedoch frühzeitig an heftigem Fieber stirbt. Anschließend wird er als "Captain of Volunteers" im Indianerkrieg eingesetzt. Lincoln entscheidet sich schließlich für eine Anwaltskarriere, wendet sich dann aber der Politik zu, nachdem er auf einem Ball des Ex-Gouverneurs Edwards die junge Mary Todd kennen lernt. Trotz seiner etwas linkischen Werbungsversuche heiratet sie ihn. Lincolns Talent als begnadeter Redner bringt im seitens der Republikaner eine Nominierung für die folgende Präsidentschaftswahl ein. Tatsächlich gewinnt er die Wahl und wird ein moderater Vertreter dieser konservativen Partei.

Lincolns Amtszeit wird stark überschattet von dem Sezessionskrieg, in dem sich die US-amerikanischen Südstaaten von den Nordstaaten abspalten wollen. Einer der Kerngründe ist eine grundlegend unterschiedliche Auffassung zur Sklavenpolitik. Der eine Sklavenpolitik ablehnende Fanatiker John Brown und seine Abolitionists erobern die Waffenlager von Harper's Ferry, und John Wilkes Booth, ein nicht minder fanatischer Theaterschauspieler, ruft alle Freiwilligen auf, diese Tat zu rächen. Nach den frühen Schlachten von Fort Sumter und Bull Run ist die Hauptstadt Washington bedroht. Lincoln stattet dem Schlachtfeld einen Besuch ab und platzt in ein laufendes Kriegsgerichtsverfahren. Er bittet den Angeklagten, sein Verhalten zu erklären, um ihn anschließend zu begnadigen und zu seinem Regiment zurückzubeordern.

Es folgen Begegnungen mit mehreren Bürgerkriegsgenerälen sowie Berichte von einzelnen Schlachten, die durch Lincolns Unterzeichnung der Emanzipationsproklamation angefeuert werden. Der US-Kongress beauftragt nach langen Jahres des Sterbens den Präsidenten, den Krieg endlich zu beenden. Lincoln ernennt General Grant zum Anführer der Unionstruppen. Schließlich werden die Südstaaten-Armeen unter General Lee besiegt, und der Krieg ist vorüber. In der Nacht des 14. April 1865 spricht Lincoln aus einer Loge im Ford's Theatre. Kurz nachdem das Theaterstück begonnen hat, wird er von John Wilkes Booth erschossen. Sein Tod wird über alle Parteigrenzen hinweg heftig beweint.

Produktionsnotizen
Abraham Lincoln, ein Filmprojekt, das Griffith bereits seit 1921 ins Auge gefasst hat und von dem er 1929 schließlich auch den Produzenten Joseph M. Schenck, damals Chef der United Artists, überzeugen konnte, entstand innerhalb von rund vier Wochen zwischen Mitte März und dem 12. April 1930 und wurde am 25. August desselben Jahres in New Yorks Central Theatre uraufgeführt. Eine Premiere im deutschsprachigen Raum ist derzeit nicht nachweisbar.

Die Produktionskosten beliefen sich auf etwa eine Million US-Dollar, damals eine recht beträchtliche Summe, die Einnahmen blieben hinter den Erwartungen zurück.

William Cameron Menzies entwarf die von Park French umgesetzten Filmbauten, Walter J. Israel die Kostüme. Komponist Hugo Riesenfeld besorgte auch die musikalischen Arrangements. Hal C. Kern hatte die Schnittüberwachung.

Kritiken
Der Film erhielt positive Kritiken von zeitgenössischen Kritikern, wurde aber in späteren Jahren bei seiner Neubetrachtung als ziemlich statisch und langweilig empfunden. Zunächst die Filmkritik von 1930:

Mordaunt Hall von The New York Times schrieb 1930, Abraham Lincoln sei "ein durchaus würdiges Film-Angebot mit einer wirklich feinen und inspirierenden Darbietung von Walter Huston in der Rolle des gemarterten Präsidenten. Durch Mr. Griffiths intimes Wissen bezüglich Kamera-Einfällen ist Mr. Huston in der Rolle durchaus glaubwürdig, auch wenn er sich selbst Lincolns Größe von sechs Fuß, drei Zoll nicht annähert. Die Diktion dieses Schauspielers ist fest und gefällig, und gegen Ende der Inszenierung sind die Vorfälle spannend, besonders in den Passagen, die Sheridans Sieg gewidmet sind. (…) … es gibt viele Ideen von Griffith, die an seine Richtung von "The Birth of a Nation" erinnern. (…) Griffith ist in seinem Element, wenn es darum geht, Kriegsszenen darzustellen, insbesondere solche, die sich mit dem Bürgerkrieg beschäftigen. Er stellt auch eindringlich heraus, dass die wichtigste Lösung des Krieges die Vereinigung von Nord und Süd war. Die Darstellung von Mrs. Lincoln ist mehr als eine bisschen zu wörtlich, denn sie wirkt unangemessen mitfühlend und verständnislos."

In Variety ein Tag darauf folgendes zu lesen: "Mehr als ein herausragender Klassiker des Tonfilms, verdunkelt Abraham Lincoln die konservativste Illusion einer modernisierten Geburt einer Nation". Es sei "ist eine erstaunliche Leistung der Superlative; eine Verjüngung" von Griffith aus seinen besten Zeiten. Fazit: "In Charakterisierung und Detailperfektion" sei der Film "fast unglaublich."

Film Daily schließlich lobte Hustons darstellerische Leistung als "eine der besten des Jahres – oder jedes Tonfilm-Jahres" und pries das "herausragende und menschliche Narrativ" des Streifens.

Die moderne Filmkritik kam bisweilen zu vollkommen anderen Schlüssen, auf filmfanatic.org lautete das Fazit zu Abraham Lincoln kurz: "Muss man gesehen haben? Nein." Harry Medved und Randy Dreyfuss listeten den Streifen in ihrem 1978 erschienenen Buch "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time" auf. Dennoch wurden einzelne Bestandteile des Films durchaus gelobt, siehe nachfolgende Beispiele:

Der Movie & Video Guide hob hervor "Huston ist ausgezeichnet in dieser aufrichtigen aber statischen Biografie Lincolns", doch der Film selbst könne nicht "mit Griffiths Stummfilm-Meisterwerken mithalten".

Halliwell's Film Guide stellte fest, dass diese Filmbiografie selbst "zu ihrer Zeit ziemlich langweilig dahergekommen" sei, jedoch "Tugenden in Sachen Aufrichtigkeit und ziemlicher Faktentreue" besitzen würde.

Shotgun Players' 'Twelfth Night' misses the mark

Shotgun Players struggles through its version of "Twelfth Night" as it populates the production with mediocre music, uneven and occasionally painful acting, stagey technique and free wine for the audience, rather than concentrate on the heart, guts and language of the play, which is about love and its suffering.
"Twelfth Night" is one of Shakespeare's comedies in which a female character disguises herself as a man. The aristocratic Viola (Rebecca Pingree) lands on the Illyrian coast after being shipwrecked in a terrible storm. Alone, and assuming that her twin brother Sebastian has been drowned, Viola dresses up as a man named Cesario and finds work in the household of Duke Orsino (Ben Euphrat). Although Orsino loves the Lady Olivia (Ari Rampy), she is mourning her dead brother and refuses any and all advances from the noble Orsino, as well as from the silly Sir Andrew Aguecheek (Nick Medina), a friend of Lady Olivia's drunken uncle, the loud Sir Toby Belch (Billy Raphael).
In addition to Sir Andrew Aguecheek and the rowdy Sir Toby, other members of Olivia's household are Olivia's lady-in-waiting, Maria (Deborah Rucker), Feste (Jeremy Vik), the clown and Malvolio (Terry Rucker), the puritanical steward.
The main action of the play involves Olivia's romantic attraction to Cesario (Viola in disguise), Viola's secret love for Orsino and the unexpected appearance of her missing twin, Sebastian.
Olivia, thinking that he is Cesario, marries Sebastian. Confusion ensues. At the end, the siblings are joyfully reunited, Olivia and Sebastian are happy, and Orsino realizes that he loves Viola. Sir Toby and Maria have also been married.

It is unfortunate that portions of the play were cut, allowing for limited character development and enlarging the importance of the inane subplot about the practical joke played on Malvolio by Maria. She writes a letter to him purported to be from his beloved Olivia instructing him that, to earn her favor, he should dress in yellow stockings and crossed garters, smile constantly and refuse to explain himself. His strange behavior leads Olivia to think that he is mad. He is locked in a room, but is later released and the trick is explained.
Shotgun bills itself as a "little theater company that does big plays," and although I very much appreciated its big and complex play, "The Coast of Utopia," Shotgun misses the mark with "Twelfth Night." The music was occasionally melodic, but often screechy; the acting was energetic, but sometimes lacked clarity and often lacked emotion. I'm not sure what the director was trying to accomplish with this production, but it didn't work for me.
"Twelfth Night" is playing through Aug. 10. For information visit Shotgun Players.

Ireland will look to build upon last weekend's win as they resume their World Cup preparations against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium tomorrow.
Despite Scotland picking up the wooden spoon during the Six Nations in March, which included a 40-10 trouncing from Ireland there remains much positivity about what Vern Cotter is trying to do with the Scotland team.
The young looking Scotland side that has the likes of Finn Russell and Stuart Hogg playing key roles will welcome yet another young addition in New Zealand-born Hugh Blake, who makes his Scotland bow this weekend.
Blake, 22, will complete a back-row that includes another New Zealand-born player in Blair Cowan and David Denton, who was born in Zimbabwe and grew up in South Africa.
Ireland head coach Joe Schmidt, on the other hand, has an experienced team riding high on self-confidence after they captured the Six Nations Championship title for the second consecutive year in 2015.
Schmidt will this weekend hand a debut to Leinster flanker Jack Conan, who is partnered in the back row by Chris Henry, who is making his first start following heart surgery last year.
Leinster Number eight Sean O'Brien, who has been capped 34 times by Ireland, will Captain the side for the Dublin encounter.
The final 31-man squads for both teams World Cup adventures must be finalised by the August 31st.
Ireland looked impressive as they strolled to a comfortable victory last weekend against Wales in Cardiff. They are the current reigning Six Nations champions for a reason so although Scotland is improving it's not fast enough for them to get anything out of this game due the quality and familiarity throughout the Ireland starting XV.

Before Death, Juice WRLD Flew on Jet Loaded With Drugs, Police Say

By Joe Coscarelli
When a private plane carrying the popular 21-year-old SoundCloud rapper Juice WRLD landed in Chicago after 1 a.m. on Sunday, law enforcement officials were waiting, having received information from a federal task force that guns and drugs might be onboard.
It was during the subsequent early morning search of the plane and questioning of the dozen individuals on the flight from the Los Angeles area that the rapper, born Jarad A. Higgins, began convulsing, said Anthony Guglielmi, a Chicago police spokesman, on Monday.
Federal agents quickly administered Narcan, a drug used to revive people thought to be overdosing on opioids, to Mr. Higgins, and the Chicago Fire Department was on the scene in under seven minutes, Guglielmi said. But the rapper, who was taken to a hospital, was pronounced dead just after 3 a.m.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said on Monday that it could not determine Mr. Higgins's cause of death until additional studies were administered, including cardiac pathology, neuropathology and toxicology. The police said they did not suspect foul play.
But additional details from the Chicago police department about the incident began to fill in some blanks about the sudden death of one of the most promising and commercially successful young artists in hip-hop.
Authorities said that when the plane landed at the Atlantic Aviation hangar at Midway airport, it was carrying approximately 70 pounds of marijuana in 41 vacuum-sealed bags; six bottles of liquid prescription codeine cough syrup; and three firearms, including two 9 mm pistols and a .40-caliber pistol, along with metal-piercing bullets and a high-capacity ammunition magazine.
The plane, a Gulfstream jet, had come from Van Nuys, Calif., on Saturday. None of the suitcases carrying the drugs had names or personal items attached, the authorities said, and no drug charges have been filed. "As of last night, everybody was being cooperative," said Mr. Guglielmi, the police spokesman.
Two men identified as security guards for Mr. Higgins — Christopher Long, 36, and Henry Dean, 27 — were charged with misdemeanors for illegally possessing guns and ammunition. Mr. Long was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, while Mr. Dean, who had a permit to carry a gun in Illinois, was charged with carrying a concealed firearm at an airport and possessing the ammunition.
Mr. Higgins had jumped from the underground world of D.I.Y. teenagers on SoundCloud to the pop mainstream last year with the success of his melodic, freestyled rap songs including "Lucid Dreams," which reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. His second album for Interscope Records, "Death Race for Love," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in March.
Upon news of his death, the rapper, who turned 21 on Dec. 2, was mourned by his contemporaries, including Drake, Chance the Rapper, Lil Yachty, Ellie Goulding and Camila Cabello. His label called him "a gentle soul whose creativity knew no bounds." Listeners responded by streaming Juice WRLD music, with half of Spotify's United States Top 10 on Monday made up of his songs.

Q: Multiple pointers to an object If I have an object pointed-to by several pointers in several classes, and I decide at some point to "change" this object, is there a smart way to make all pointers pointing to that object point to the new object ?
for example
class myClass{
//myCLass definition
}
void main(){
shared_ptr<myClass> ptr1, ptr2;
ptr1.reset(new myClass(1));
ptr2 = ptr1;
//Now two pointers pointing at object 1
shared_ptr<myClass> ptr3;
ptr3.reset(new myClass(2)); //new object created

ptr1 = ptr3; //make ptr1 point to object 2
//is there a smart way to make ptr2 also points at object 2?
}

Thanks

A: As Brian pointed out in the comment, the easiest solution is to make ptr2 be a reference to ptr1. That way, once you change ptr1 (or ptr2 for that matter), they will be alright.
shared_ptr<myClass> ptr1;
shared_ptr<myClass> &ptr2 = ptr1;

Then, you will also be able delete the needless copy like this:
ptr2 = ptr1;

You could also write this as the operator= returns a reference to the shared pointer, but I am not sure this is the smart solution you need:
ptr1 = ptr2 = ptr3;

Yet another mechanism would be to create your own function managing all this, and call that instead of the assignment operator, so something like a "smart setter".

A: You are not actually "changing" the object. If you actually change the value of the object you wouldn't have this problem. You could either copy:
*ptr1 = *ptr3;

Or move:
*ptr1 = std::move(*ptr3);
