It was a luxurious day to take a leisurely and comfortable walk with a small camera.
There's something both whimsical and practical about taking a small, discreet and convenient camera along with you when you walk. I've done it both ways; I've hauled around promethian cameras that weighed too much and were complex to operate, and I've walked with the more sybaritic protocol of having a camera along that was just good enough, but weightless to carry. And if your goal is a walk with exuberance and relaxation then the smaller camera is definitely the right choice. If you are in one of those moods where you feel compelled to be a tortured artist then no one is going to talk you out of packing the big gear.
I woke up late today. I had the most restful sleep I can remember in ages. I didn't rush over coffee and breakfast but I took it outside, on the back patio, away from my laptop and all the news of the day. Only the sound of birds and wind through trees. When I laced my shoes I knew it was going to be one of those walks where you feel like you have endless energy and no pressing schedule to rush you back to the shackles of commerce.
I went out with nothing special in mind and came back with exactly the same balance. Nothing I photographed was revelatory, nothing sublime. Just a quick snap here and there to commemorate the idea that the walk itself is the treasure. Not whatever might come out of the camera.
I'm not sure why but I felt relaxed, rich, strong and curious. What a great blend to motivate just the right kind of walk.
When I got back to the house I was hot and sweating. I tossed the camera on the desk in my office and walked into the north yard. I tossed my sweat soaked shirt onto the edge of the old wooden bench, kicked off my shoes and socks and stood under the cool water of the garden hose. Cool. Refreshing. Calming. I left my clothes in the sun to dry.
I spent the afternoon reading "The Wind in the Willows." Ben made a fine curry dish for dinner. Belinda smiled at me and touched my shoulder just so. For just right now, in this moment, everything is right with my world. Let me stop for a moment and really appreciate that.
So, that's what gratitude feels like...
A few thoughts on the newest hysteria: cameras overheating while shooting esoteric video.
Many years ago I was a still photographer on a movie set here in Austin. I worked around a large crew of people and we basically just overwhelmed locations when we came to film. This was during the days of only film cinematography; no digital. It was a hot Summer and most of the production was done in evenings and at night. Most of the day time work was spent doing the interior scenes that were part of the project.
But after reading some current/new camera reviews and watching people pontificate about the "horrors" of an 8K consumer camera having the temerity to overheat, I remembered going with the crew to a location out on Hwy. 290 West, just outside of Austin, to film a scene with a couple of train cars in the background. We went at midday.
The lighting crew had been on site for hours, setting up 18K lights and various huge diffusion scrims as balance lights for the ultra-bright Texas sun (pre- any air pollution). Once the camera crew and the director arrived the DP, the director and the AC roughed in the angle of view and camera position for the first shot and then quickly retreated to an air conditioned RV while people further down the pay scale got to work. The first thing the crew did was position the camera, figure out the framing and then erect a open sided tent over the camera to shield both the camera and the operators (camera op + focus puller) from the direct sun.
Then they set up the director's station and put a tent up over that.
I thought the tent over the camera, to block the radiant heat of the sun, was solely for the comfort of the camera crew. As a working photographer no one up to that point had ever thought of putting up some shade for me while I was working on a shot but --- I've planned for it on every exterior shot since...
So, in some downtime I teased the camera crew about the tent. They were not amused. They slowly and carefully explained to me that movie film gets degraded by heat. Heat from anything. It's like slow motion mayonnaise in direct sun. It will eventually have color shifts and increased grain and other junk happen. And if the film gets damaged nothing else matters. A great take is meaningless. Brilliant acting is wasted. Etc.
Since the movie film, when attached to a big cinema camera, is in a black metal film magazine, you can imagine that the interior temps of that black box skyrockets if you leave it out in the sun. A simple method of reducing the temperatures by a minimum of 20 degrees (as compared with direct sunlight) is to always keep the gear and the film in the shade. Even if you have to make shade.
When the Red series of cinema cameras came out movie production made its real move into digital. I got to shoot stills on some motion projects (mostly TV commercials) where Red cameras were the primary digital camera used on the project. Those camera, which fully outfitted cost somewhere in the $50,000 range ( lens additional ) would all overheat. If it was Summer then the cameras were overheating. The large sensors and the high bit rates pretty much guaranteed it.
And these are cameras that have built-in cooling fans. The data throughput heated up these 4K and 5K cameras like little toaster ovens. And the first line of defense was to always, ALWAYS keep them out of the direct sun. Some D.P.s and camera crews kept their Reds in big coolers till it was time to shoot. Others figured out clever ways to attach ice packs around the cameras. Several very famous directors, who loved the look they could get out of the raw movie files, demanded that the productions working on their movies rent two or three Red cameras so that when one overheated they could cycle the second one in. And then the third.
But the first line of defense was a tent over the top. If the shot was a moving shot on a dolly the grips would devise an articulated arm and some clamps and position foam core or some other white board to ride along over the top of the camera. For shade. I know I'm beating a dead horse here but the message is: motion cameras hate direct sun. Movie cameras hate direct sun. So, by extension........ Canon R5 cameras, when used to shoot high bit rate motion.....hate direct sun.
I have a movie camera called a Sigma fp. It doesn't overheat. It was designed not to overheat. But when I use it for advertising stills or to shoot video clips out in the sun I bring a C-Stand, a side arm, a couple clamps and a 60 inch diameter white umbrella. The umbrella gets positioned over the camera and lens. If I can swing it I steal some shade from the rig for me as well. The Sigma fp was also designed with a big external heat sink and a non-moving (no mechanical image stabilization) sensor. But I would still put it under an umbrella or a tent if I was shooting in full sun.
Will's spicy BBQ sauce.
Many V-Loggers and reviewers have been critical of Canon for making a camera that can shoot 8K but when doing so might overheat. Commenters are already trumpeting the "deal-killer" words. You would have thought Canon put out a camera on which the lenses randomly fall off without warning. The same people who wouldn't be dumb enough to leave a fish sandwich with extra mayonnaise, or sushi, out in a plastic Baggie™ in sun for two hours before eating it are expecting a camera with tech forward features to fair much better.
Here's an interesting workaround for all the people who are mortified by an 8K camera overheating in full sun: Try blocking direct infra-red light from hitting any part of the camera. Seriously. Then, do what all the Black Magic, Sigma fp and other professional owners do when they need to shoot higher spec video settings which heat up their cameras --- use an external digital recorder, like an Atomos, and benefit from not writing to the card in the camera (which takes more processing power, which generates more heat). If possible, power the camera from an external power supply so the battery and everything around it in the camera doesn't heat up.
I don't really have an opinion about whether or not people need to shoot 8K video but I do know that they should be smart about doing so if they really need or want to do it. If 8K is mission critical then so is shade, an external recorder and some common sense. You can buy a car that will go 140 mph at red line. And you can drive it flat out with the air conditioning on full. I can more or less guarantee you that if you choose to drive that way in Texas on an August afternoon your engine will reach it's limits sooner than you think and you'll have a lot more to worry about than waiting for your consumer camera to cool down enough to work again. Just a thought.
I've shot video with Sonys that overheat. The one that was most abused but never shut down, or even flashed a warning, was the RX10-3. I never had a Nikon D810 shut down either. But I when I was shooting those cameras we were using the smallish codecs provided by Sony and Nikon. Not a fire hose high, and complex data stream.
I lent a camera to a writer once. He ran afoul of a homeless person he was no doubt badgering for a photo and the camera went sailing high into the air, stopping only when it impacted with an asphalt road. The camera was totaled. The writer was huffy. He suggested that camera makers should build sturdier cameras if they wanted to call their cameras "professional."
No one ever lent him a camera again.
From everything I've heard from the more rational camera users I know the R5 is an extremely good photography camera and goes (at least) toe-to-toe with the likes of the Panasonic S1R or the Sony A7R4. If you use it properly you can get some amazingly good video files from it as well. But once you veer off into esoterica you have to understand that limitations apply. You have to leverage what the camera can do with mindful use strategies and good set engineering.
Otherwise you're just red-lining your gear to see where the break points are. And you're the one who will ultimately suffer.
I'd love to have a Canon R5 and the 24-105mm RF zoom. I bet it's incredible. I'd shoot video with it too. But I'd first educate myself about the best ways to make it all work. Sad that people are so....unwilling to learn.
Tent. Tent everything. Walking on the surface of Mercury? Be sure to bring a metallized umbrella to hold over yourself and protect you from the sun. Oh, and make sure your Nikes don't melt....
Does anyone remember when computer chips overheated and IBM started making machines with liquid cooling? Really. Even Apple had a model with liquid cooled chips. I liked mine. It kept my feet warm in the winter..... but the fan noise was still bad.
I predict (tongue in cheek) that all hybrid, mirrorless cameras will come with liquid cooled sensors and built-in fans in two years or less. And I predict that Tether Tools will have a $300 white umbrella that attaches over your camera in the next month or so. And I predict a company in China will have pretty much the same thing a couple months later for a lot less money.
Stay cool. That goes for your cameras too!!!

Milo Ventimiglia Is 'Incredibly Proud' of Costar Mandy Moore for Speaking Out About Her Ex Ryan Adams
By Erin Crabtree
There for his friend. Milo Ventimiglia supported his This Is Us costar Mandy Moore after she spoke out about alleged abuse in her marriage to ex-husband Ryan Adams.

"There are things that people live through, so to be able to have a forum to discuss it and speak about it honestly, you know, I'm incredibly proud of Mandy for just being who Mandy is, which is a very giving, inspiring woman," the Gilmore Girls alum, 41, told Access about his TV wife on Wednesday, February 20. "And if anyone else can take away from that situation of being inspired to let someone know that they're not alone in a feeling, it's like, I think that's a great thing to do."
Ventimiglia and Moore, 34, star as Jack and Rebecca Pearson, respectively, on the hit NBC drama.
8 Heartwarming Quotes From 'This Is Us'
The "Candy" singer was among seven women who accused Adams, 44, of emotional abuse and sexual misconduct in a New York Times exposé published on February 13. "Music was a point of control for him," Moore said, adding: "His controlling behavior essentially did block my ability to make new connections in the industry during a very pivotal and potentially lucrative time — my entire mid-to-late 20s."
While the Tangled star classified her ex, whom she split from in January 2015 after nearly six years of marriage, as psychologically abusive, Adams rebuked her claims through his lawyer. The Grammy nominee called the allegations "completely inconsistent with his view of the relationship."
Hollywood's Sexual Misconduct Scandals
Ventimiglia is not the only costar who backed Moore after she spoke out. Shane West, who appeared in the 2002 romantic drama A Walk to Remember alongside the actress, told his pal via Instagram on February 13: "Warmest hug EVER to the strongest woman I know."
The Because I Said So star opened up further about her previous marriage during the Monday, February 18, episode of the "WTF With Marc Maron" podcast. "I felt like I was drowning. It was so untenable and unsustainable and I was so lonely," she admitted. "I was so sad. … I knew that this wasn't the rest of my life. I knew that this wasn't the person I was supposed to be with. I knew that I wasn't the person I was meant to be."
Moore moved on with Taylor Goldsmith, whom she wed in November 2018. "Mandy's life couldn't be more different today," a source told Us Weekly earlier this month. "She's married to a good man and she's truly happy."

Q: Basic Footer issue I want a footer that is anchored at the bottom of the PAGE not always anchored at the bottom of the browser window all the time.
My homepage features a long vertical page using an auto scroller (by clicking a button), and also sandbox sort plugin: http://jsfiddle.net/techydude/ZkKys/4/ Since I use the sort feature, the height changes on which sort option you choose.
I want the footer to sit at the bottom of the page, but not be sticky. Then on other pages where they are significantly shorter, I still want the footer to rest at the bottom of the page, but not be sticky.
Can anyone help with this issue?

A: I'm not sure what you mean by "I want the footer to sit at the bottom of the page, but not be sticky" but have you tried this resource?
http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
your css positioning will determine how your footer is "stuck" to the bottom of the page. Using position: fixed or depending on other css, position: absolute will keep it at the bottom of the window no matter where the user is on the page. But that sounds like what you don't want, so try the above link and see if that works for you.

Quincy company under fire from U.S. Department of Labor
Mary Whitfill The Patriot Ledger thelittlewreck
BOSTON — The U.S. Department of Labor is asking a judge to hold a Quincy roofing company in civil contempt and potentially jail its owner for failing to comply with a court-ordered safety settlement.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a division of the labor department, first cited The Roof Kings LLC and its owner Craig Galligan for fall and other hazards at four eastern Massachusetts worksites between 2013 and 2016.
Want news like this sent straight to your inbox? Head over to PatriotLedger.com to sign up for alerts and make sure you never miss a thing. You pick the news you want, we deliver.
In 2017, the company and agency reached a settlement that required the company to provide OSHA with abatement certification for 32 cited safety hazards, written notice of upcoming roofing jobs, and $72,000 in penalties in 60 monthly installments.
The agency says the company made three initial payments of $1,200 each, but then stopped paying and didn't fulfill the other terms of the agreement. Last October, a U.S. Court of Appeals judge again ordered the company to comply with the settlement. The Department of Labor now says Roof Kings still isn't holding up their end of the bargain and wants a judge to find them in contempt of court.
"The U.S. Department of Labor will use all available legal tools to ensure that employers comply with their obligations under the Occupational Safety and Health Act," Kate S. O'Scannlain, solicitor of labor, said in a statement Tuesday.
In its request to the court, the department asks that Roof Kings be made to pay overdue penalties of $206,090 plus interest within 20 days. If the company refuses, the department of labor wants the court to "subject The Roof Kings and Galligan to coercive sanctions, including incarceration."
"Employers must adhere to their legal obligation to provide workplaces free of hazardous conditions," OSHA Regional Administrator Galen Blanton said in a statement. "Worker safety can be achieved when employers comply with the law."

As birds sing and lizards scuttle in the lush vegetation of the Tijuana River Valley, helicopters circle overhead, and Border Patrol agents on all-terrain vehicles comb the area looking to stop illegal border-crossers.
Two big metal fences and stadium lighting divide homes in Mexico from this largest intact coastal wetland in Southern California.
Over the decades, fencing construction and associated roadwork have affected wildlife habitat along a 14-mile stretch between the Pacific Ocean and the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. The project has included filling in canyons, cutting down mesas and paving over coastal sage scrub in territory that's home to several endangered or threatened species.


I know the holidays are supposed to be all about family and tradition, but the hedonist in me likes to think they're really all about a good party.
Of course, the question is, what's the formula for one?
Always start with a ham. It's the centerpiece of any great Christmas party, it'll last the entire night, and the leftovers make for excellent sandwiches and even better split-pea soup. I order a bone-in smoked ham from my butcher, make a simple glaze, and pop it in the oven for a few hours--done. Last year, a chef friend brought over a magnificent Red Wattle ham he'd baked and set it out on a cutting board next to a bag of Martin's sliced potato bread and bowls of mayo and Dijon. By 11:30, I'd lost count of how many sandwiches I'd eaten.
Slice it and serve with our soft dinner rolls so guests can make mini sandwiches, then use the bone to make soup. Ask your butcher for a whole cured, smoked bone-in ham from the back leg of the pig, or order one from dartagnan.com. You can also buy a half ham and cut the recipe in half. Flavor the meat with Riesling from the same bottle you use to make the gelée for the chicken liver mousse.
Arrange rack in lowest level of oven; preheat to 300°. Leaving fat in tact, remove outer rind from most of ham, leaving a band around the end of the shank bone. Score fat crosswise (do not cut into meat) on top of ham with parallel cuts spaced 1/2" apart. Place ham in a large roasting pan. Boil 1 cup Riesling and 7 cups water in a saucepan for 5 minutes. Pour into bottom of roasting pan. Bake ham, basting with pan juices occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the ham registers 110°, 2 1/2-3 hours.
A homemade gift is the sweetest thing. Not fancy, just straight from the heart. We cooked up three base recipes, with variations-and sprinkled with decorating tips.
2. To prepare cookies, weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and baking powder, stirring with a whisk. Place butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Add egg, and beat until well blended. Beat in vanilla extract. Reduce mixer speed to low. Add the flour mixture to butter mixture; beat just until combined.
3. Shape dough into a 4-inch round, and cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 1 hour. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 40 (2 x 3-inch) cookies, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place cookies 1 inch apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350° for 9 minutes or until lightly browned on bottoms. Cool on a wire rack.
4. To prepare icing, combine powdered sugar, egg white powder, and 1/8 teaspoon salt, stirring well. Gradually add 2 tablespoons water, stirring constantly with a whisk until smooth. Decorate cookies as desired. Sprinkle with sugar, if desired. Let the cookies stand on a cooling rack until icing is completely dry (about 1 hour).

Canadians aren't out of touch with the world at all.
I think Canadians think we're misrepresented and unappreciated and such, but we're not. We're just a normal country doing normal things. We're not special, but we're not completely unknown and misunderstood as well.
I'm proud to be Canadian. I think we live in a great country, but I assure you Canadian Aphrodite, there are far more than 5 canadian coldplay fans. I think they're concert at the ACC would justify this.
Bijeli_Miš
A rather unrealistic guy

Canadians come out with some really terrible bands though. I mean, Nickelback? Simple Plan?? Not By Choice??
I mean, it's bands like these that make me hang my head down when Canadian music is mentioned.
But Nickelback is by far the worst. They're like, the worst of the worst..and that's really bad.
but....BILLY TALENT KICK ASS!!!!!
I wasn't the biggest fan of Billy Talent when they came out. I mean, I'm not a big fan of theirs right now either, but I've heard a lot of good things about their live show. A friend of mine who doesn't like ANY rock music saw them play at his university. He loved them! He went out and bought their cd that same day.

Sexual Violence Against Women Experiencing Homelessness
September 15, 2022 by Lindsey Zirkle
Women experiencing homelessness are at an increased risk of becoming victims of sexual violence.[1] Such women are particularly vulnerable to multiple forms of interpersonal victimization, including sexual violence at the hands of acquaintances, strangers, sex traffickers, and intimate partners while on the street, in dangerous housing situations, or in shelters.[2] Many factors increase homeless women's risk of sexual victimization, including substance abuse, childhood abuse, length of time spent homeless, engaging in economic survival strategies, location while homeless, mental illness, and physical limitations.[3] Although childhood sexual abuse and intimate partner violence often precede, and may contribute to, women's homelessness and risk of revictimization, the condition of homelessness itself dramatically increases women's risk of becoming the victim of sexual violence.[4] Many homeless women have no choice but to partake in economic survival strategies, such as engaging in sex work,[5] that place them at a greater risk of sexual assault.[6] Wenzel, Koegel, and Gelberg found that homeless women who panhandled or traded sex for drugs or money were three times more likely to be the victim of sexual assault and other forms of violence compared to their homeless peers who did not engage in sex trade.[7] Because these assaults may occur in the context of illegal actions, victims are often seen as attractive targets to perpetrators and thus less likely to report the violence or to be believed by authorities.[8]
Homeless women experiencing serious mental illnesses are highly vulnerable to sexual violence. One study found that ninety-seven percent of the participants, all of whom were homeless and suffering from a mental illness, reported experiences of violent victimization at some point in their lives, with twenty-eight percent reporting at least one sexual or physical assault in the month proceeding the interview.[9] These women face the burden of at least three forms of social stigma—against poor or homeless women, people with mental illnesses, and victims of sexual violence.[10]
The prevalence of sexual violence against women experiencing homelessness suggests that the existing prosecutorial framework is inadequate and should be changed. To address this issue, Congress and state legislatures should emphasize or articulate homelessness as a vulnerability factor in vulnerable victim sentencing guidelines. The current federal vulnerable victim sentencing guideline provides that "[i]f the defendant knew or should have known that a victim of the offense was a vulnerable victim, increase [the punishment] by two levels."[11] "Vulnerable victim" is defined as a victim "who is unusually vulnerable due to age, physical or mental condition, or who is otherwise particularly susceptible to the criminal conduct."[12] While state law provisions enumerate specific characteristics that make a victim vulnerable, thus limiting protection to those groups, the federal standard provides a catchall phrase granting protection to anyone "who is otherwise particularly susceptible to . . . criminal conduct."[13]
When imposing harsher sentences based on vulnerable victim sentencing guidelines, courts should emphasize the extent to which the victim could defend herself from the crime.[14] Thus, the vulnerable victim sentencing enhancement would not automatically apply simply because the victim is homeless.[15] However, in most, if not all, cases, women experiencing homelessness are particularly vulnerable because of their inability to protect themselves from sexual violence.[16] Courts should focus on situations where defendants target victims either because they think that law enforcement would not take the crime seriously or that the victim would not report the crime.[17]
Applying vulnerable victim sentencing enhancements to women experiencing homelessness is consistent with the underlying purpose of the enhancement: to protect those who are in dire need of protection from society.[18] Women experiencing homelessness are often targeted because the attacker thinks that the woman will not report the crime or that law enforcement will not take the crime seriously.[19] Each of these justifications can be applied on a case-by-case basis, which is the manner in which courts currently apply the sentencing enhancement.[20]
Certain court cases involving the federal vulnerable victim sentencing guidelines serve as a guide for courts applying sentence enhancement against defendants who commit acts of sexual violence against women experiencing homelessness. In United States v. Julian, the Seventh Circuit held that the victim's homeless status was a valid factor in deciding whether to apply the vulnerable victim sentencing enhancement. The defendant was convicted of aiding and abetting the transportation of a minor in foreign commerce with intent to engage the minor in prostitution.[21] The victim's homelessness was the only deciding factor in the application of the vulnerable victim sentencing enhancement because the defendant also received a distinct and separate sentencing enhancement based upon the age of the victim.[22]
In conclusion, women experiencing homelessness are at a heightened risk of becoming victims of sexual violence. In addition to the condition of homelessness itself, other factors such as "risky behavior" (sex work, substance abuse, etc.) or suffering from a mental illness can further increase the vulnerability of women experiencing homelessness. To address this situation, dramatic change must occur in order to more effectively prosecute acts of sexual violence committed against women experiencing homelessness. The federal legislature ought to amend existing laws to better protect women experiencing homelessness through specifically articulating/emphasizing homelessness as a vulnerability factor in vulnerable victim sentencing guidelines.
