Like all mothers and daughters, Kayla and I have things the two of us like to do together. One of those is going to the zoo. Fortunately for us, the nearby city of Montgomery, Alabama has an excellent zoo.
Kayla did roll her eyes at me when we walked up to the zoo one day early this summer and I started by taking this picture of the entrance.
She thought that taking a picture of the entrance, even for my blog, was overkill. I told her it was my blog, not hers. Since our next stop was the parakeet enclosure, and I sprang for several seed sticks to feed the parakeets, she forgave me.
Because we were at the Zoo entrance almost as soon as the gates opened, the parakeets were hungry, and we had no trouble coaxing them to come eat from the sticks. At one point, we had six to seven birds each trying to reach the seed sticks, keeping both of us too busy to take photographs.
The peacocks wander freely throughout the zoo grounds. This proud fellow obligingly provided us with a full display of his plumage.
The aviary even had a turtle in it laying her eggs.
Kayla's favorites are the monkeys; the spider monkeys' enclosure lies just beyond the aviary.
There was a family of ducks enjoying the moat around the spider monkey enclosure. The group of ducklings above were swimming, anxiously watched by the parents (pictured below) who were watching from the rail protecting the enclosure. The "accidental" zoo residents sometimes are as fascinating as the official zoo residents.
Here is one of the Zoo's pygmy hippos, Lola. Although the pygmy hippo is from Africa, Lola and her calf, Monty, born in 2016, live in a special enclosure in the South American section to give them some additional space and attention.
Roosters and chickens roam freely through the zoo grounds, just like the peacocks. I thought this rooster's coloring was spectacular. Kayla rolled her eyes at me again for taking his picture.
Here is one of the Zoo's lemurs.
One of the Zoo's rarer animals is this maned wolf from South America. He obviously was not ready to wake up yet.
The jaguar was sleepy, too.
Here is a wallaby mama and her joey.
The zoo also has an attraction which lets you feed the giraffes, so I bought Kayla and I each treats for the giraffes. Only two of the four giraffes were interested this morning, the baby giraffe and his mother.
In a move mothers everywhere will understand and cheer, Mama got a bit impatient with Junior's attempt to hoard all the special treats, and came around to the side to be sure she got her share.
This is where she first realized what Junior was up to.
The zoo has a kiddie train ride that travels all the way around it; even if it is just kid stuff, the two of us always ride it. On a really hot day, the breeze the train generates while it makes it rounds feels cool. I let Kayla hold the camera during the ride, but this was one of only two pictures she took. I'm not sure if she was bored at this moment.
This lake is part of the zoo grounds, too. It formed in the remnants of the old quarry that make up part of the zoo lands. It gives the zoo plenty of room for expansion.
Then last, but not least, on this particular day, we were able to get this striking stork's photograph in the Asia section on our way out.
This is just a sampling of the animals at the Montgomery Zoo; they also have bears, tigers, lions, elephants, chimpanzees, bonobos and reptiles to mention just some of the things we didn't get to that day. In addition to the parakeet enclosure, the train ride and the giraffe feeding station, the zoo also has a skyride over the zoo and a petting area.
The residents of Montgomery, a city with a population of just over 220,000 people, are lucky to have such a zoo and far-sighted enough to fund it. And I'm lucky to have a daughter who, even at the age of 15, is willing to go to the zoo with me!


A $400 increase in the tax on a new housing permit to pay for road maintenance will go before voters in November.
Douglas County commissioners earlier this month approved placing an initiative on the ballot to increase building permit fees.
Technically, the tax is for the privilege of engaging in new real property development.
The county has charged $500 per single-family dwelling or apartment since 1997.
There is also a 50-cent per square foot tax on nonresidential development, that would be increased to 90 cents per square foot.
"This is something I think the voters have asked for and we're doing it at the request of the residents," Commissioner Barry Penzel said.
Should voters approve the question the tax could be implemented in the first quarter of 2019. It would increase again on July 1, 2020, to $1,000 for a home or apartment and $1 per square foot for nonresidential property.
Commissioners also approved advertising for members of committees to write the arguments for and against the ballot measure, which will appear on the ballot.
"There is a real nexus between the new development and the number of cars on the road," Commissioner Nancy McDermid said.
Commissioner Larry Walsh asked how voters could be assured the money would be used for roads.
Deputy District Attorney Zach Wadlé said state law requires the money be spent for roads and transportation projects.

If you have never heard of the Petzval lens, you're not alone. Honestly, when my husband handed over this wrapped up package on my birthday and I savagely ripped into it, I had no idea what gem (or boulder rather…its really heavy) I was holding.
"It's an art lens," he says.
I nod too eagerly and smile too big.
"Just try it. We can always take it back. I thought it would be cool," he says.
Within in minutes, I was outside with my Nikon D750 and the Petzval in hand, ready to test out this mysterious art lens, and within minutes it was all over. I was smitten.
This art lens is rooted in history, and as a wanna-be history buff I eat this stuff up. You might not appreciate the story behind it, so just scroll past and look at the pictures.
But in 1807, a man named Joseph Maximilian Petzval (let's just discuss how awesome his middle name is. Considering it for my firstborn…) was born, squeezing his way into a family of seven. In high school, his strongest courses were in mathematics, which is slightly regrettable (considering I am an English major and highly illiterate to the language of numbers), but his incredible artistry and design forgives him that. Although brilliant, he was not an all out nerd in the academic sense. He showed to be well rounded, enjoying sports, specifically horseback riding , grew a very respectable mustache, and could hold his own in fencing and fighting matches. He went on in his education, becoming an Engineer and earning his Ph.D in mathematics. He took an appointment as the chair of mathematics at the University of Vienna, and it was there that he applied his mathematic engineering to optics and conceived the the Petzval lens. In layman's terms, the lens was faster than its predecessors, had little to no distortion, had a focal length of 160 mm and an aperture of f/3.6 (Lomography). This lens was known as the "first fast photographic lens" and much of the characteristics that today's portrait photographers value in a lens is owed to Mr. Petzval. However, like many beautiful minds in his day, he did not receive due recognition.
But now over a hundred years later, Lomography and Zennit are taking it back, old school style. These two creative power-houses have teamed up and revisited the original 1840 lens to bring this Lazerus lens back from the dead (with some accommodations to modern technological advancement of course).
Jesse bought mine used at Southeastern Camera, and it is not worse for wear, but if you get yours new, it comes to you all the way from Krasnogorsk, Russia. Similar to the original design, the package comes with seven aperture plates, ranging from 2.2 to a 16.
And you guessed it! You actually, physically insert the aperture plate into the lens to adjust your settings for optimal shooting. Focusing is also totally manual. In fact, that little nob you see to the right? That is the focus control.
Truly, this "art" lens is giving me a better sense of the art of photography. It has forced me to slow down and deliberately think of my settings and composure. The slower mechanics emphasizes an articulate, artful process that I am so excited to explore and improve in. And there is definitely room for improvement. You can see that I am still just a tad off in my focal point on the next couple of pictures, but the subject is quite handsome so I'm not too upset about it.
But even with these green hands, I am already in love with the natural vignetting and bokeh that is produced in these images (more on that later) . This is with barely any touch up in Lightroom, and the Petzval nailed it. Through experimenting on this, I am hoping to gain a new perspective to my portraits. I want to take my time to see the picture, to select my settings carefully, and be more artful, more daring and more humble.
This lens is definitely helping with that. It has shown me I don't always know what I am doing, not everything comes naturally, and I have to be willing to learn and to fail. Jesse managed to pry the camera from my fingers and snapped a few of me (to my disdain). I actually really liked the chance to see how he approached the Petzval lens. (And the chance to see how I function on the other side.
Clearly, not well…I seriously have a phobia. I call this Joanna's Blink 182. The caption is up for grabs… But in all seriousness, Jesse used the lens, whether intentionally or not, to take a seemingly blurry image and create an artistic photo full of soft shapes and bleak contrasts.
So here's to the art of the Petzval lens. Stay tuned for some personal tips and tricks that I am picking up along the way. I am sure there are those of you who know much more about this thing than I do, so I want to hear all about your experiences. Drop a comment, and lets make Mr. Joseph Maximillium Petzval proud.

Paddle power: Employers find net profits in ping-pong
by Peg Quann, For The Inquirer, Updated: April 19, 2019
Brian Fenn (left) takes on Ryan Morris in a Friday afternoon game of ping-pong at Advanceon in Exton. Fenn, vice president of operations, admits he isn't the most skilled member of his tourney team.
TRACIE VAN AUKEN/For the Inquirer / Philadelphia Inquirer
It's a smash hit in the business world: Ping-pong – or, as it's professionally known, table tennis. The game develops strategic thinking and builds team spirit, say area employers that allow staff members to play at work.
At several 2019 Top Workplaces, employees – particularly those in their 20s and 30s – paddle away lunch breaks and participate in Friday afternoon tourneys. Like golfers, they take lessons at area clubs to up their game.
Follow the bouncing ball: The rules of table tennis
Dogged determination meets mindful meditation in stress-relief programs
From enhanced benefits to ax-throwing contests, companies finding ways to appeal across the generations
But ping-pong isn't played on a lush outdoor course, and it usually isn't used to close deals with new clients. Rather, it's played right in the office, allowing employees from different departments to get to know one another, which can enhance a company's overall performance. The camaraderie that develops among workers of different ages and job classifications is good for a business. The sport also helps new immigrants familiar with this international sport to feel more at home in the workplace, say those who follow ping-pong's popularity in the business world.
According to Perkbox, a firm specializing in employee benefits, ping-pong experts point out that the game develops concentration, alertness, and tactical thinking skills, among other benefits.
Advanceon employee Ryan Morris (right) and coworkers take in the action.
Deacom Inc. in Chesterbrook is a software development firm whose employees enjoy Friday ping-pong tournaments. Deacom develops solutions to help manufacturers and distributors manage their business processes.
Melissa Richardson, Deacom hiring and office manager, said that ping-pong and other games allow Deacom employees "to talk but in a non-formal situation." They get to interact and see how their individual jobs and talents can mesh to advance the firm's business to "build a collaborative environment."
"Most of the people that tend to play are on my team at Deacom, so it was an easy way to develop friendships with the people I work with every day," said technical writer Julia Quigley. She has to "make sure I wear the right shoes" for a game day, but it's definitely worth it.
"It's a great way to get some exercise both physically and mentally," she said. "We all seem to be pretty competitive, so it's a real ego boost to get the perfect shot across the current champ of the group."
At the Trolley Car Table Tennis Club in Philadelphia's East Falls neighborhood, players take lessons to improve their game for workplace tourneys. Real estate developer Ken Weinstein started the nonprofit club in 2010 to meet the need for a local table-tennis meeting place. The club has nine tables and attracts both experts and amateurs. "We see people from 6 years old to 90 years old," he said. "It's better than a game of golf. You don't need three hours."
Weinstein played competitive table tennis during his school days in central New Jersey. "Ping-pong is a game and table tennis is a sport," he said, though both are played the same way.
According to the New York Times, the game was developed in England and named "ping-pong" for the sound the bouncing ball makes. Game manufacturer Parker Bros. acquired the trademark for "Ping-Pong" in the United States. Table tennis became an Olympic sport in 1988. Since then, restaurants, bars and clubs like Trolley Car have sprung up to cater to the 20- and 30-somethings who grew up playing the sport in their basements. Businesses soon started installing tables and holding office tournaments to cater to Gen Xers and millennials who view the sport in the same way that earlier generations took to company-sponsored bowling leagues. A game may only take 15 minutes, so workers can fit them in during breaks or their lunch hour.
Bryan Little, business unit director for food and beverage, is considered one of Advanceon's top players
At Avanceon in Exton, engineers devise automation programs for manufacturers and other businesses around the world. On a recent Friday afternoon, about 20 employees at the 2019 Top Workplace lined up to play ping-pong. Beverages, including beer, are served at these start-of-the-weekend games.
"It's been part of our culture for a long time," said Mary Negron, manager of human resources and administration. "At least 15 years. Way before it was trendy."
About 25 of the company's 60 local employees are regular participants in the Friday tourneys. Mike Fazzini, an engineer in the food and beverage division, and Bryan Little, business unit director for food and beverage, are the top players. While waiting to play, they chatted with Brian Fenn, vice president of operations, an executive who admits he isn't the most skilled member of his tourney team. "They still let him play," joked Fazzini, current holder of the company's coveted ping-pong trophy.
James Zou, another Avanceon project engineer, even brought in a robo-pong to pitch balls to fellow employees to help them practice their swings.
The men said they enjoy the game for the camaraderie they develop and as a "stress reliever" on deadline days. And the games do not interfere with workers' getting their jobs done, Negron said. "Our guys are very responsible. It fits our culture to work hard and play hard."
Rob Herman, a program manager and engineer for Avanceon, said typical work days aren't 9 to 5. "We're working late. You play ping-pong – it loosens you up, keeps the mood fun," he said. "It's a good little perk. It gets people talking, hanging out."
Advanceon's Rob Herman, program manager and engineer, has been playing since childhood. "You play ping-pong – it loosens you up, keeps the mood fun," he said. "It's a good little perk. It gets people talking, hanging out."
On this Friday, women employees looked on from the sidelines, with engineer Nataina Velez admitting she didn't yet know how to play but might try to learn.
"It's really fun to watch," said project coordinator Stef Colbert.
Doug Wallace, a senior IT support specialist for Analytical Graphics Inc., a Top Workplace in Exton, said his company holds a couple of tournaments each year that he looks forward to, as well as other games. "There's people I've met playing table tennis. … We talk more than we were during the day."
"I was looking for some way to stay active. … I played sports my whole life," Wallace said. Now that he's in his 40s, he's found that table tennis offers cardiovascular benefits without the risk of injury of other more physically challenging sports. "I believe younger players do it as well for exercise and the love of the game."
Many workers recalled playing ping-pong as children in their basements or family rooms. Herman said his family would use a match to determine who had to wash the dishes after dinner.
Wallace grew up with two older brothers. It was a rare game that he won. "They would always whip me. It wasn't fun back then," he remembered.
Avanceon's team members have gotten to match their ping-pong skills against contractors from other countries. The Avanceon players said they'd had some "amazing" games against a Pakistani group – "illuminating how far we had to go," Fenn added.
At the Trolley Car club, Weinstein also sees globalization in action. "It's got to be the most diverse club I've ever seen – all different economic levels … from all over the world."
Playing ping-pong helps bring people together, he pointed out. "It's a game for everybody."

Q: C# inheritance and Object reference I am new to C# and trying to figure out how inheritance works. I'm getting the following error. Why must the parent parameters be static?

Severity  Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
  Error CS0120  An object reference is required for the non-static field,
  method, or property 'Rectangle.name'  PurrS PATH\Sign.cs  15  Active

Parent:
namespace PurrS.Maps
{
public class Rectangle
{
    protected string name;
    protected int id;
    protected float a;
    protected float b;
    protected float c;
    protected float d;
    protected int posX;
    protected int posY;
    //A----B
    //|    |
    //C----D

    public Rectangle(string name, int id, float a, float b, float c, float d, int posX, int posY)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.id = id;
        this.a = a;
        this.b = b;
        this.c = c;
        this.d = d;
    }

}
}

Child:
namespace PurrS.Maps
{

public class Sign : Rectangle
{
    string message;

    public Sign(string message)
        : base(name, id, a, b, c, d, posX, posY) { //This is where it fails.
        this.message = message;

    }
}
}

A: You must either pass the parameters from a constructor with some more arguments
public Sign(string name, int id, float a, float b, float c, float d, int posX, int posY, string message)
                : base(name, id, a, b, c, d, posX, posY)
            { //This is where it fails.
                this.message = message;

            }

or provide some default fixed values:
        public Sign(string message)
            : base("foo", 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1)
        { //This is where it fails.
            this.message = message;

        }

A: The problem you are seeing stems from the fact that Rectangle has a single constructor - the only way to create an instance of Rectangle is to pass it your 8 parameters.
When you create a Sign that inherits from Rectangle - because it is a Rectangle - it needs to be able to call its Rectangle constructor to be able to successfully construct itself.
Therefore, it needs all the parameters available to call a constructor on Rectangle (you have only one), at the time that its constructor is called.
You can ask for the parameters in Sign, or hardcode them in the Sign constructor:
 public Sign(string message, string name, int id, float a, float b, float c, float d, int posX, int posY)
     :base(name,id,a,b,c,d,posX,poxY)

 public Sign(string message) : base("a name", 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 10)

for example.

A: You need to expand on this:
public Sign(string message)
    : base(name, id, a, b, c, d, posX, posY) { //This is where it fails.
    this.message = message;
}

To pass the parameters to the base class as follows:
public Sign(string message, string name, int id, etc...)
    : base(name, id, a, b, c, d, posX, posY) {
    this.message = message;
}

A: Inheritance means that you child class (the Sign class) will have all of the fields and methods that are in the parent class. Therefore, you can say
public Sign(string name, int id, float a, float b, float c, float d, int posX, int posY)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.id = id;
        this.a = a;
        this.b = b;
        this.c = c;
        this.d = d;
    }

And not have to declare any of the fields that you are using because they are inherited from the parent class.

Fair pensions are worth fighting for
Great piece from Caroline on the protests and strikes today. I spoke at the Maidstone rally which should be on TV later. This was message to the workers who are taking a stand against the ideologically inspired cuts:
"I am proud to stand alongside workers protesting at the immoral and unjust cuts to their pensions, jobs and livelihoods. Cameron, Clegg, Osbourne and Cable should be ashamed at their actions that are simply being taken to protect their rich friends at the expense of ordinary workers.
"They claim that the country is broke, but they are letting super rich individuals and large corporations get away with tax evasion estimated to be around £100bn. Why should workers face pension cuts and job losses, and why should ordinary people face cuts to services just so the rich can feather their beds? Stealing from the poor to give to the rich is obscene.
"The government seems wedded to an ideology that is not based on fact. The country has proportionally less debt now that it had through half of the last century. The public sector is affordable, their pensions are affordable and while we regret the disruption the action is causing, these are worth fighting for.
"Teachers are being asked to work longer, pay 50% more for their pensions and get less when they retire, yet the government's respose is to ask parents to volunteer and to let negotiations fail. Action is clearly necessary.

A few nights ago I sat in my basement staring at my cache of light painting tools trying to figure out what to do. I messed around with a few torches with filters but nothing was quite turning out the way I wanted. Then came my go to for fun – the $2 battery powered LED string.
As light painting tools, strings of LEDs have multiple ways of use to get different results. The simplest is to swing them around.
I went with my Olympus OMD EM-10 in LIVECOMP mode as I was just messing around and wanted to see my result on the fly. Exposure for LIVECOMP mode was set the camera to 2sec, f11 and ISO200.
The technique is simple. Grab hold of the last 12 inches of the string (make sure the rest is out of frame) start swinging around the subject with the LEDs off until the motion is what you desire then turn the LED string on. Once you've got enough light in the frame, about 5 or so rotations, turn the LEDs off. I also added a little bit of white light to indirectly paint the mannequin.
The result was not exactly what I had envisaged. In general the issue for this session was the framing of the subject I went with. For a small scale experiment like this I think I should set the camera a little higher and shoot at a downward angle. That is a test for anther day.
I am also not happy with how the blue LEDs tend to wash out and look white. That is something I want to experiment with further and see if there is a way to lower the brightness of just the blue LEDs in the shot. I am thinking some tinted enamel hobby paint if I can find it.
Overall though I am glad I ran this small scale test. It really makes me realise I have to consider the best way to set up and frame larger scale shots in the future.


A trip highlight: Honeymoon Pass, Rock Mountain, and Middle Tiffany from Tiffany Mountain.
Words and photos by Matthew Tangeman.
A fine line separates an epic adventure from sheer stupidity. I stumbled upon this truth recently when, with a head full of dreams and an attitude full of hubris, I struck off on my mountain bike to complete a four-peak loop. From map study, I was confident riding Tiffany Ridge to Whistler Pass and going past Clark Peak to Clark Ridge was a brilliantly conceived circuit that would also get me up four peaks. With both peakbagging and mountain biking bundled into one big day, my anticipation for the day's adventure was almost uncontrollable.
High hopes persisted as I pedaled up the surprisingly well-maintained Tiffany Ridge Trail with virtually no trail blockages or hike-a-bike sections to hold me back. My expectations soared as the trees parted and Tiffany Mountain came into view (pictured right).
Once at the junction for the Whistler Cutoff, it was time for the first side trip to begin. I intended to drop into Salmon Creek, pedal up to Honeymoon Pass, and tag the summits of both Rock Mountain and Middle Tiffany. I buckled up my helmet and enjoyed the day's first taste of an alpine singletrack descent – it was steep, narrow, and exposed, with logs laid across the trail to serve as waterbars, or in my case, hurdles. Slamming on the brakes and skidding to a stop in a cloud of dust, I noticed the trail made a large switchback. Odd, I thought, the map wasn't showing this. Having no time for these silly trail shenanigans, I placed my bike behind a tree and made a cross-country beeline, following the map's description of where the trail should be, for Honeymoon Pass, which was straight ahead in my sights.
Spirits still high, albeit a tad confused, I traversed the tundra toward the fortified radio repeater marking Rock Mountain's summit and here, miles from any well-traveled trail, I met the only human seen during this journey. Enjoying each other's company, we made our way up Middle Tiffany, exchanging tales from our respective travels before parting ways.
Back at the bicycle, I braced myself for the steep hike-a-bike to Whistler Pass. Ambitious cross-country riders with quads of steel might pedal up this steep grade but I wasn't even going to try—'twas a lovely day to take the bike for a walk. Like a sailor finally seeing land after months at sea, I hollered for joy upon cresting Whistler Pass.
Downhill it was but, depending on how that phrase is used, it could be relevant in more ways than one. Thankful for suspension, I pounded down the steep switchbacks, rolling and bouncing over the rocks choking the trail. The riding so far was nothing to write home about, but nothing terrible either. I was satisfied.
Later,rolling through tall grass and blinded blissfully by optimism, I found myself tumbling into a deep creek bed hiding in the grass. I grabbed my fallen bike and cursed the vegetation obstructing the view of oncoming obstacles. Where was the actual trail? I refused to believe I was about to be hit with a bait-and-switch. This ride is supposed to be epic, and it's going to be epic!
The miles upon miles of massive fallen snags disagreed. All thoroughly roasted from fires a couple years before, the ghost-like forest swayed and creeked over my head, threatening to topple down on my arrogance. A "good" stretch of trail on this ridge allowed me to ride for about 20 feet before having to dismount and clamber over more timber. Yet, buried under my thickening frustration was still a flickering hope that this descent would be a winner. Here I was, pushing brush aside and crawling over logs, with a bike not on the ground, but on my shoulders, and somehow expecting a high-caliber mountain bike ride to materialize from this mess. As one might expect, it never did. A few good, fast sections ensued, but none of this was worthy of the endless series of brush, blowdowns, and hike-a-bike. Eventually, I stumbled into the trailhead parking lot, more thankful to see my truck than ever before.
One of the first things I was asked upon completing this circuit was whether I would recommend it as a mountain bike ride. If the intent is to do an out-and-back of the Tiffany Ridge Trail to bag the trifecta of Rock Mountain, Middle Tiffany, and Tiffany, a bike will serve you well and add a different element to the day than simply placing one foot in front of the other.
If the intent is to also bag Clark Peak and complete the loop by descending Clark Ridge, burn the bike, break the bike, crush the bike … do whatever you must do to leave the bike behind. An 18-mile circuit that only has good riding on the uphill but turns the bike into a hideous anchor on the downhill isn't the stuff of epics – it's pure stupidity.
Maps: View the complete odyssey on our Tiffany East Map. Note: Use 'Print Preview' to orient/scale the map before printing.
Activity: hiking, trail running, mountain biking.
Distance: The loop as described with side-trips is about 18 miles.
Elevation Gain: approx. 6400 vertical feet.
Access: From Conconully, drive north on Main Street out of town, which becomes FR 38. Stay on this paved road for about 9 miles until reaching Salmon Meadows. Staying on what is clearly the most-used road, reach a small pullout and trailhead on your left in 0.8 miles, about 9.8 miles from Conconully.
Trip Instructions: Begin with a short descent to a bridge crossing, and then a short climb to a junction with the Clark Ridge and Tiffany Ridge trails. Take a right on to Tiffany Ridge. Tiffany Ridge is a moderate uphill climb through forest spared by the Tripod Fire of 2006. About four miles from the trailhead, reach a junction. Peakbaggers looking for the side trip to Honeymoon Pass, and Rock and Middle Tiffany mountains should turn right. It is recommended to leave your bicycle at this junction (if you brought one) to avoid the brutal climb back. But, if the thought of this excites your inner masochist, ride on. The descent is steep, exposed, and loose. Use extreme caution: This is a no-fall zone. Two miles of steep descent and moderate ascent bring you to Honeymoon Pass, another good place to stash the bike if you brought it this far. The meadow slopes to your right (east) will take you through tundra-like terrain to the gentle summits of Rock Mountain and Middle Tiffany. Hike back down, snag the bike, and backtrack two miles to the Tiffany Ridge junction. This concludes the side-trip.
Back on the main route, hike, bike, or hike-a-bike one mile to the windswept Whistler Pass. Peakbaggers rejoice, Tiffany Mountain's 8,242-foot summit is a half mile hike due northwest. Even if you don't do any of the other side trips, the hike to Tiffany Mountain is highly recommended. After tagging the summit, it's time to head south along the Whistler Cutoff trail, a moderate undulating traverse. The trail passes below Clark Peak, a half-mile off-trail hike and short scramble will bring you to the top. Otherwise, ride on and come to a weathered signpost and junction at a saddle. Go left, and begin the frustrating yet always interesting descent down Clark Ridge. Advanced mountain biking skills are needed to ride the first section consisting of tight, steep, and very rocky alpine switchbacks. At the bottom of the switchbacks, the trail passes through a boggy meadow and disappears. Using route-finding skills and following sporadic cairns, gain the ridge. At the time of this report, the trail was thoroughly littered with blowdowns. Ride what you can and make the most of it — remember it's an adventure! After four miles of this sketchy, fun-if-you-make-it descent arrive back at the trailhead. We can assure you it will be a long day.
Other Issues. Seldom traveled trails equal solitude, but they may also equal poorly maintained trails that may be hard to follow. Bring a map and have sufficient route-finding skills to know how to use it. Also, despite being located in the always-sunny portion of the state, twice I've seen snowstorms here in late August. Be properly prepared—you're a long way from anywhere and anyone out there.
Allowed: Hikers, mountain bikers, and horses.
Permits: None needed as of July 2013.

DS-39 (Russian: Дегтярёва Станковый образца 1939 года) was a Soviet medium machine gun, designed by Vasily Degtyaryov, that was used during the Second World War. The work on the gun's design began in 1930, and it was accepted by the Red Army in September, 1939. About 10,000 were made from 1939 to 1941, but the weapon was not successful in service and its production was discontinued after the German invasion of June, 1941, with factories converted to produce the older, more reliable Russian M1910 Maxim machine guns.
About 200 were captured by Finland in 1941 and issued to Finnish troops.

Anyone with a lot of debt is going to struggle – that's why this stock is a sellout
By Beverly J. Oaks Last updated Sep 4, 2022
Along with this, would-be car buyers are facing the worst cost of living crisis in a generation, a crisis that has already caused the lowest level of consumer confidence since records began in 1974. In many cases, increasingly cash-strapped consumers are likely to postpone or avoid the luxury of changing out their current car unless absolutely necessary.
In this context, the car retailer Lookers appears vulnerable. Its recent half-year results showed that new and used car sales accounted for 61% of gross profit. Given that nearly half of its used car sales were to customers who paid by financing, it wouldn't be surprising if its financial performance came under severe pressure as interest rates rise. In the coming months.
The company also faces a significant threat related to structural changes within the automotive retail industry. Online disruptors like Cazoo are increasingly looking to digitize the used car buying process by offering money-back guarantees instead of test drives.
Meanwhile, major auto brands are seeking to exclude dealerships from selling new cars. Volvo, for example, aims to sell all of its vehicles online by 2030. If others follow suit, Lookers' new car segment could face terminal decline.
Rising costs don't just affect its customers. The company's latest half-year results showed payroll costs rose by £8.6m year-on-year, partly due to labor shortages. Higher utility bills contributed to a further £4.1 million increase in operating expenses over the same period.
Overall, Lookers' underlying operating expenses were 8.6% higher than the prior year. Further increases seem almost inevitable and are likely to act as a formidable drag on margins.

LifeStyleLock zero5 lets you know when prying hands attack your drawers
Many people keep certain items in a desk or nightstand drawer that they don't want their kids or others to get their hands on. It could be medication. It could be a gun. It could be money.
The LifeStyleLock zero5 connected furniture lock uses Bluetooth and proprietary sensing technology to connect to an Android and iOS device. The zero5 leverages a proprietary solenoid locking mechanism, and it was built in the same way as locks built for industrial uses. If there is an attempted breach, the owner will be immediately notified. It should only take about 15 minutes to set up, and the lock and accompanying drawer assembly accommodates a large amount of imprecision in the installation, the company says. The zero5 attaches to the user's nightstand, dresser or desk, but the front and side appearance of the furniture is unchanged.
The two main components of the zero5 are the locking mechanism and the housing. Both components are already fully engineered, its maker says. The zero5 uses on-board sensors to provide its owner with security awareness: Early backers who pledge $250 will get a limited first edition version of the device in April. After that, backers who pledge $250 will get a lock one month later. LifeStyleLock is looking to raise $500,000 by Jan. 19.
The device will come in handy for many consumers, as long as it is as easy to set up as its maker claims and as long as the consumer actually has items that need to be locked up. Including both strengths and smarts makes for a pricier product. However for those who want remote notification, it may be worth it.

After over a year of eating nothing but fast food, I spent the next few years avoiding fast food restaurants. Yes even when I actually had full time work and could afford to eat out for lunch. That was when I discovered the wonder of Vietnamese restaurants.
Growing up in Hawaii, Vietnamese restaurants were as easy to find as Starbucks are here in the Pacific Northwest.
Instead of grease laden food that sits in your stomach and makes you tired, I was delighted to order fresh, light, flavorful food. Between the spring rolls and variety of banh mi sandwiches, I could get a quick meal with a drink for around $5. I used to grab lunch from the Vietnamese restaurant next door to work almost daily!
Now that I have a family, and work from home, I rarely eat out. But I still crave those amazing banh mi Vietnamese sandwiches.
I love my steak banh mi recipe, but this grilled chicken banh mi is really my favorite Vietnamese sandwich recipe.
One thing I love about this Vietnamese sandwich recipe, is the versatility of the sauce. You can use the sauce as a marinade before grilling the chicken. But you can also toss already grilled strips of chicken with the sauce! It's a great way to use leftover chicken, or to save time with store bought chicken.
Sometimes I will buy the pack of Costco grilled chicken breast strips, and just toss the banh mi sauce in one of the bags so I can make sandwiches throughout the week.
The quick pickle is super easy to make, and can be used immediately, or kept in the fridge for using whenever you're craving a Vietnamese sandwich.
If you are using chicken that is already cooked, just cut the marinade amount in half. If you use the full amount, the flavor may be a bit too strong, especially with the uncooked fish sauce.
For the pickled carrots and radish, the fastest and easiest way to get those this matchstick strips is to use a julienne peeler. It works great and is one of the most used kitchen tools I have!
And if you haven't bought daikon radishes before, you should be able to find them at most grocery stores. It looks like a long white carrot, similar to a turnip. If you can't find them, you can use regular radishes sliced thin, or just use the carrots.
Here are all the brands that we used for this Vietnamese Sandwich Recipe. These are affiliate links which means if you purchase ANYTHING from Amazon using these links, we get a small commission without it costing you anything extra. Thanks for supporting our family business!
Mix the marinade ingredients in a zip top bag.
Add the chicken breasts to the bag and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Longer is better!
Put the hot tap water and sugar in a jar. Close the jar and shake until the sugar dissolves.
Add the vinegar, salt, red pepper, sliced carrots and radishes. Close the jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
Heat the grill to medium. Grill the chicken breasts for 5-10 minutes per side, until thermometer reads 160F internal temperature. Remove from heat and cover them with foil to rest for 5 minutes.
Open the sub rolls and grill the insides for about 1-3 minute—until toasted. You can also toast them in the oven if you are making this with already cooked meat.
Drain the pickled veggies. Slice the chicken into thin pieces.
Spread the inside of the sub rolls with mayonnaise. Layer the cucumbers, chicken, pickled veggies, mint and jalapeños (if you're using them) in the rolls.
Enjoy the best sandwich EVER!
If you would like to make this recipe with chicken that is already cooked, it's easy to adapt. Just cut the amount of marinade ingredients in half. The toss the cooked, sliced chicken in a bag with the marinade.
For the carrot and radish pickle, the easiest way to get julienne strips is by using a julienne peeler. Here's our favorite julienne peeler.
I used to eat this cake. It's really delieicous.


Stockton City Council members remain befuddled by the firing of Deputy City Manager Johnny Ford. Last week, they put off again any attempt at a resolution.
They seem to want the new interim city manager, Kevin O'Rourke, to review the matter, maybe come up with something. But at that point, he'd been on the job two days.
Ford was fired by former City Manager Gordon Palmer over allegations that Ford had used his City Hall influence to score tickets to events at Stockton Arena and other city-owned venues. Ford vehemently denied the allegations, and a special council committee set up to investigate said he did not do any influence peddling to get tickets. However, the panel did say that Ford was unethical in appearance for taking tickets from promoters to events at facilities he oversaw.
Whether being unethical in appearance carries the same weight as throwing your influence around is what the council must decide. The council could take up the matter again this week, but O'Rourke said it would take him two or three weeks to get up to speed.
Ultimately, though, it is the council, not the interim city manager, that must make a decision.
Federal employees have ideas for cutting the budget; some, anyway.
About 38,500 cost-saving ideas were submitted to the Office of Management and Budget for the first SAVE Awards program.
With about 1.8 million federal workers (Uncle Sam is the nation's biggest employer), excluding postal workers and those in the military, you'd think the rank and file could have come up with a few more ideas. Maybe it was a motivation factor.
The winner of the contest gets to ... wait for it ... meet President BarackObama. But there's more: The winning idea is to be included in the proposed FY 2011 federal budget.
Were those really the best prizes the OMB could conjure?
There are those who claim that the days of the printed book are numbered (they say the same thing about newspapers) because there will be electronic devices that make entire libraries instantly available.
Those same devices will replace textbooks and will be cheaper, too. Maybe but it's hard to imagine sitting down with your youngster to read and not having an actual book in hand, one the child can touch and one the child can use to keep the parent honest. As in, trying to skip a page on the 47th reading of "The Cat in the Hat" and not get caught.
Here's an idea for keeping airline pilots' attention in the cockpit when they might otherwise overshoot their airport destination: make their seats as uncomfortable as those back in the coach section.
OK, Pepperdine University sits on a hill in Malibu overlooking the Pacific. The University of Hawaii, Manoa. Enough said. Princeton and Harvard. Both have had decades to cover their halls with ivy.
But that's it. Those are the only colleges considered more beautiful than University of the Pacific, 175 acres of trees, grass, flowers, shrubs, ivy and great buildings smack in the middle of Stockton.
The most-beautiful list was produced by The Penn Group, an outfit that helps students navigate the college application process.
Of course, a beautiful campus doesn't just happen. A team of 19 groundskeepers works tirelessly at it. And Pacific students show their Tiger pride by helping keep the campus clean.
It's great to have a pretty college campus. It's better to be recognized for academics and dollar value. Pacific keeps showing up on those national lists, too.


And finally, there is Audi.
Late Monday night, the German luxury maker debuted took to the stage in San Francisco with its long-awaited, first volume battery-electric vehicle, a five-seat midsize crossover utility to be known simply as e-tron. It also opened reservations and will allow customers to configure the car, requiring a refundable $1,000 deposit.
Audi didn't release estimates of the e-tron's ratings for electric range, but earlier estimates put it at about 250 miles. That information will be released closer to the start of deliveries, which will begin in the U.S. between April and June of 2019.
The Audi e-tron will compete with the Jaguar I-Pace, due at U.S. dealers this November or December, as well as the Mercedes-Benz EQC and BMW iX3, scheduled to arrive in 2020. Prices for the e-tron range from $74,800 for the Premium trim level to $86,700 for the first Edition One models. Buyers will be eligible for the full $7,500 federal income-tax credit and various state incentives.
The 2019 Audi e-tron itself is proportioned very much like a conventional crossover, reflecting underpinnings adapted from the company's MLB architecture for all-wheel-drive vehicles with longitudinal combustion engines. The version used for the e-tron has no engine, but a pair of transverse electric motors, one per axle.
Audi suggests the conventional proportions, along with design elements that subtly underscore the electric propulsion, will reassure buyers who don't want an electric car that looks strange.
Its grille, headlamps, and taillights are utterly consistent with other Audi utilities, though the grille itself is actually a silver-textured blanking plate. The car's sides may also be a bit smoother. The interior is even more conventional, and we'd wager many Audi aficionados could check it over inside and out and never know from the looks that it was propelled electrically.
It's a diametrically opposed approach to that of Jaguar, whose I-Pace takes full advantage of its dedicated "skateboard" underpinnings with long-cabin, short-nose proportions more similar to the Tesla Model 3. The market will determine whether one approach is more successful than another.
Audi says the e-tron's cabin design "represents performance, intelligence, and lightness," which translates to the expected pair of digital displays, one in the cluster behind the steering wheel and another in the lower center of the dash.
The e-tron has several missions. First, it gives Audi a luxury electric vehicle to sell in China, by far the world's most aggressive market for electric vehicles today. Second, it gets Audi into the market for luxury electric cars that's been owned for six years exclusively by Tesla—though how the brands compare in cachet in that rarified niche remains to be seen.
Audi has one feature, however, that challenges Tesla head-on, one that Jaguar can't match. That's built-in DC fast charging at up to 150 kilowatts, slightly higher than Tesla's current cap of 135 kw at today's Supercharger stations. The company says that will allow the battery to recharge to 80 percent of capacity in 30 minutes or less.
Audi does not, however, presently have anything comparable to the Tesla Supercharger network of hundreds of sites with thousands of charging outlets. And the e-tron uses a higher-speed version of the CCS fast-charging connector, one that will be shared by every German electric car and all U.S. entries (eventually) except Teslas.
Audi is relying, at least in part, on the charging sites now being funded and built by Electrify America. That's the entity that will spend $2 billion of penalty funds from its parent VW Group to build a nationwide fast-charging network, as part of a settlement of its diesel-emission cheating scandal with the EPA and the California Air Resources Board. Audi says 500 such sites will be "complete or under construction" by next July.
Still, like the Tesla Model S for the first year or so of production, there are likely to be very few places to fast-charge an e-tron at full speed. As happened with the Model S, that will improve over the next few years—though e-tron drivers will be sharing their charging locations with drivers of all sorts of other electric cars. They won't have the fast chargers all to themselves as early Tesla drivers did.
The e-tron's portable 9.6-kw charging cord can operate at 120 or 240 volts, with pigtails for standard North American wall outlets and 240-volt NEMA 14-50 sockets. The company has also partnered with Amazon to manage installation of home charging stations, under the somewhat unwieldly title of "Audi Home Charging powered by Amazon Home Services," which it claims will make ordering a home charging station—and getting it installed—as easy as any other Amazon order.
In layout and specs, the Audi e-tron is roughly similar to the rest of the luxury crossover utilities that have been announced or put into production. Its 95-kilowatt-hour liquid-cooled battery pack sits below the cabin floor, with a pair of liquid-cooled electric motors of unspecified output.
In light to normal use, the e-tron operates as a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, with the front motor adding power when needed. Power has been estimated at 265 continuous horsepower with bursts up to 400 hp for acceleration. The company says the e-tron will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, and is capable of a top speed of 124 mph.
Individual wheel braking using the traction control system allows torque vectoring for increased stability. Audi calls the result "a new generation" of the Quattro all-wheel-drive system the brand is known for.
Three degrees of regenerative braking (which Audi insists on calling "recuperation") are offered. The lowest setting behaves more or less like a conventional car with an automatic transmission, offering almost no braking on liftoff. At the highest degree, Audi says the e-tron can be driven almost entirely with only the accelerator pedal, the "one-pedal driving" that electric-car drivers often prefer.
Audi held its e-tron premiere in San Francisco, temporarily morphing the city's Bill Graham Civic Auditorium into a "Tech Park" filled with displays of the brand's advanced technology.
The event was the third in a flurry of all-electric vehicle announcements of various sorts by a trio of German luxury brands that often march in lockstep.
First Mercedes-Benz unveiled the production version of the EQC in Stockholm on September 4. Last Monday, BMW showed its Vision iNext concept for a flagship large all-electric utility vehicle, though it likely won't reach production until 2022.
Note that BMW hasn't yet debuted the iX3 that will precede the iNext by two years. Rather than a dedicated vehicle like the e-tron and EQC, the 2020 iX3 will be a battery-electric version of the latest-generation X3 compact luxury crossover also offered in much higher numbers with gasoline and plug-in hybrid powertrains.

Q: Runtime configuration of EventSource guid We have a scenario whereby multiple pre-release versions of an application run in the same environment. The problem we're seeing is that, because our EventSource has the same name/guid, we cannot differentiate between logs.
Is it possible to configure the name/guid of the EventSource via config or otherwise at runtime?
We currently have a single-build deployment pipeline, so I don't think a build-time solution would work for us.

A: That is not supported. Some teams do the following: add additional parameter to each event to pass a version/build identifier.
Another potential option would be to create a pre-build task to alter the source code (EventSource implementation) to assign different GUID each build. But in this case that would be hard to work with those logs.

A: We ended up filtering the observable by process id:
int currentProcessId = Process.GetCurrentProcess().Id;

new ObservableEventListener()
    .Where(ev => ev.ProcessId == currentProcessId)
    .LogToRollingFlatFile(...);

Obviously that won't work once we move out-of-proc, but it's fine for now.
