As a Church of England school with an Outstanding SIAMS we believe that Religious Education has a central part to play in the development of each student. As a result every student gets the opportunity to take part in Religious Education.
The aim of Year 7 is to provide a really good base for studying religion by exploring philosophical and ethical issues as well as an in-depth look at Christianity.
Unit One: Philosophy. The students will explore a range of philosophical questions such as; do I exist? Who am I? Can I trust my senses? Does God exist? Why is there something rather than nothing? These are considered through discussion, experiments, research and creative writing.
Unit Two: Christianity – the life of Jesus. Students will look at the key events in the life of Jesus: incarnation, teaching, miracles, the passion, resurrection, ascension, Parousia and the second coming. They will explore what happened and how these events impact on Christians today. They will use research or Biblical evidence, creative writing, drama and role play to understanding the impact of Jesus' life.
Unit Three: Ethics. Students will explore different ethical approaches and apply these to situations such as business ethics and Children's Rights. There is a clear link made to the school's status as a Rights Respecting School.
In Year 8 students have the opportunity to explore a variety of questions from the perspective of different world faiths including Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Christianity and Islam. Students will explore these questions using a range of source material from a variety of perspectives. They will respond creatively and be encouraged to debate and discuss and to develop their own reasoned judgements on the issues.
Should religion affect how we dress?
Unit One: Other Belief Systems. An exciting opportunity for students to consider what makes a religion by looking at alternative systems such as Shinto, Scientology, Jedi's and Humanism. Students will be encouraged to evaluate what they think is a religion and to explore what impact religion has on people's lives today.
Unit Two: The impact of the Holocaust. Students will be explore Judaism and the impact that the Holocaust has on the Jewish population. We cover a range of creative and spiritual responses to the Holocaust – including meeting a Holocaust survivor and listening to their testimony. Students have the opportunity to produce a creative piece of work to represent their response to the Holocaust.
Unit Three: Inspirational People. Here students will look at people who were inspired by their faith to change the world such as Bonhoeffer, Gandhi and Martin Luther King. Students will reflect on these people's lives and consider what changes they would like to be a part of.
Religious Studies at GCSE offers you the chance to engage with some of the most significant philosophical and ethical questions in the world today. We will discuss important ethical issues ranging from 'is it acceptable to genetically modify animals?' to 'should countries be allowed to possess nuclear weapons?' And consider philosophical debates such as the 'problem of evil' and 'why is there something rather than nothing?' You will explore these and more through the consideration of Christianity, Hinduism and your own views (religious or non-religious).
It is an opportunity for you to express an opinion and to learn about other's views, but also to learn how to effectively create reasoned and logical arguments. Religious Studies forms an essential part of your broader education. It allows you to deal with the philosophical ideas and the ethical decision-making processes that underpin many of the issues that increasingly affect society today. It also allows you the opportunity to develop and explore the religious, spiritual, moral and philosophical side of your personality within a wider context.
Beliefs, Teachings and Practices – Christianity and Hinduism assessed by one, one and a half hour paper.

The employment and income policy area is focused on understanding income levels, poverty, and employment across an array of sectors in the Coachella Valley. As an area with higher rates of poverty, economic opportunity and prosperity shape people's everyday experiences. Although the global and national economy can impact our local economy in ways that we can't control, understanding the changes in jobs and local industries, which neighborhoods have higher concentrations of poverty, and the size and makeup of our local labor force will help us make informed decisions about economic investment for a prosperous and inclusive future in our county.


Happy Poetry Friday! It's great to be back in the round up this week. Thank you for visiting the ridge, and please stop by Carol's Corner for more of this week's collection of poetry!
Hope is a beautiful thing, especially when it has wings. It's just the kind of hope I needed after experiencing a difficult time. I remember feeling so lost and detached from a path I wanted to take very much. As humans, we have a yearning to belong, to feel a part of something bigger. We are driven to connect, and remembering connects us to our identity. When I lost sight of my goal and the realization that I might not achieve it, I returned to my memories of hope. It turns out, I had many of them waiting for me in my notebooks to remind me of hope.
While this poem is about waiting with silent hope for my dear Purple Martin swallows to return to the skies, it's more about returning to myself. I needed to remember the things that are most important to me. I needed to find a new hope. And with this new hope, I have found delight in the peaceful way in which it has arrived.
How does remembering help you connect to your identity? Where do you find new hope?
Happy Poetry Friday, friends! This week, Tabatha is hosting the roundup at her space, The Opposite of Indifference. You'll find many poetry delights waiting for you there!
This week, I will be wrapping up a month long blog series centered around reflection. I have learned so much about myself as a writer throughout this series and will continue to do so, but the thing that has bubbled up the most for me throughout this process, is that response drives reflection. Response is a powerful action. Our response to reflection can spark so many new thoughts and purposeful change. The same thing is true when someone responds to our reflections. Our words and thoughts are validated. They matter. We all need someone to share our reflections with. Our responsiveness to life and to each other is worth sharing.
We each have a unique voice to be heard. What makes yours unique? What is it that others might miss out on if you did not share your voice? What are you passionate about sharing with others? Write something you care about, something you want to stir up a bit. If you do, I invite you to share your learning reflections with the #TeacherMyth followers on Twitter. This group is also thinking deeply about reflective practices and the power of response.
Hooray for Poetry Friday! Thank you so much for dropping by the ridge for a visit. Our friend Tara, is hosting this week at her space, Going to Walden.
I have been spending a lot of time reflecting on change these past couple of weeks. Change is an interesting topic to explore. I've become rather fascinated with the nature of change and our relation to it. I think there can definitely be some validity in the idea that the magnitude of change lies in the eye of the beholder. We all perceive and react to change differently. I have noticed this quite often with fellow colleagues in education. I think the important thing is to reflect on the change both individually and with others who face the same challenge. It's a process that demands our attention, reflection, and understanding. Sometimes we choose change, and sometimes it's chosen for us. It can be both easy and hard. And depending on the change and the implications, we can find ourselves feeling really any place on the spectrum. Whatever change we may face, reflection through talk and writing can help. It has certainly helped me understand the impact that change has in my life. Change often invites me to grow and stretch myself. That's one invitation, I'm always willing to accept.
Careful reflection can often lead to meaningful change in our lives. If you have discovered helpful ways to use reflection to create powerful change, I invite you to share your learning reflections with the #TeacherMyth followers on Twitter. This group is also thinking deeply about reflective practices.
Happy Poetry Friday! Thank you for visiting the ridge. This week, Tricia is hosting the round-up at her space, The Miss Rumphius Effect. You can find more poetry offerings there!
As a writer, I try to live a wide-awake life. When I do, I notice how much it improves my life and my interactions with everything around me. There is something extraordinary that happens when the lens of attention begins to focus and sharpen. There is an immediate connection between myself and whatever I have stopped to acknowledge has come into my frame. And whatever it may be, it is worthy of my attention. It becomes the center of everything. Through this simple act of noticing, I learn something more about this life.
Noticing often leads to learning. We can learn so much about ourselves and others through the simple act of noticing. Try practicing the art of noticing to see what comes of it. Pay close attention to details and ask yourself questions to lead to reflection.
Where are spaces in your day that you are building a habit of writing and reflecting? What are you noticing and learning about yourself as a result? If you try out the art of noticing, I invite you to share your learning reflections with the #TeacherMyth followers on Twitter. This group is also thinking deeply about reflective practices and the power of noticing. There is so much to learn about ourselves and the world around us through a careful lens of attention !
Happy Poetry Friday! Thank you for visiting the ridge! Be sure to stop by Kat's space HERE for more poetry delights this week.
I don't generally make resolutions at the beginning of a new year, but I do make a point to reflect on my personal and professional life. My writing life has always helped me balance them both, so I'm happily reclaiming my writing life this year. It's time to prioritize my time and energy to those things that matter most. My family and the work that I do as an educator to serve children and others will always be top priority. My writing must be a high priority as well. Writing completes me. I am better for myself and others when I write often.
So after reflecting on how I spend my time, I have decided to be more intentional about creating a space in my day to write.
Instead of plopping down on the couch to watch tv, I can read from one of the many books in my stack and jot down my favorite line. I can come back to it later as an invitation to write.
Instead of checking Facebook during moments of wait time or boredom, I can step outside and check out all that nature has in store for me to write about! Wait time is write time.
I know it will be difficult at times, but I am determined to return to my writing life this year. I know that what I focus on, I'll get more of. Whatever your goals or priorities may be this year, I hope you also find your creative space to reach them.
I have been thinking a lot about the reflection process lately, along with many of my teacher colleagues. It's a great topic to explore as a writer. One of my friends, Aaron Hogan, author of Shattering the Perfect Teacher Myth, has initiated a blog challenge over the next few weeks to write a reflection in response to a given prompt. I think it's a wonderful invitation to write, so I have decided to accept his challenge. If you would like to join in, I will be including his weekly prompt in this section of my blog or you can find the prompts on Twitter at #TeacherMyth.
This week, notice how you're using your time. Is there a space in your day to build in some time for reflection?
Happy Poetry Friday! I am so grateful to be back with this amazing community of poets! I can't wait to read all the poetry offerings waiting to be unwrapped at Donna's space, Mainley Write, on this last Poetry Friday round-up of the year.
It feels so wonderful to be writing for myself again. For some time, much of my writing has been the academic kind. Now that I have completed my master's degree program, I can give myself fully to my writing life. I can return to my pen and notebook. I may be a bit rusty, but I believe writing is the kind of thing that comes back to you with ease. Like a beloved song or some fond memory from childhood, it's always there. It always waits, and it always takes us back whenever we are ready to return.
For me, nature is a sturdy workbench for my writing. I will make time and listen, to hear the words that it may speak.
Whatever your workbench may be, my hope is that you return to it again and again. It will be there, ready to help you accomplish the work of your heart.
Happy Poetry Friday! Welcome to the ridge. This week, I am sharing a tiny poem about a Luna moth. Be sure to visit Tabatha at her space, The Opposite of Indifference, for more of the round-up.
It seems that I make very little time these days for my personal writing, which has me feeling a little lost. Most of my writing consists of reflective academic writing for my graduate school work. It's been hard to find the balance between work, school, and home. I welcome all my visitors this week to share your wisdom or any strategies you may have for maintaining a healthy writing life. I look forward to reading your comments!
This week, I decided to jump back into the round-up with a small poem about a moth. I stumbled upon this tiny poem, while I was flipping through the pages of one of my old notebooks. It reminded me very much of a poem I might find in Valerie Worth's book, "All the Small Poems and Fourteen More." I love that poems can come in all shapes and all sizes. I can always find a poem idea lurking between the pages of my notebook. That's comforting to me as a writer, especially when my writing time is limited.
Revisiting and rereading your notebook entries can often bring a sleeping idea to life! Whenever you feel stuck in your writing or you're searching to find an idea, try returning to your notebook for writing inspiration. Big or small, ideas are waiting for you to lift them from between the pages of your notebook!
Happy Poetry Friday! It is great to be back with friends this week. Thank you for visiting the ridge this week, where spring has sprung! Today, I'm writing about a favorite friend to me as a writer, my notebook. Join the rest of the round-up at Linda's space HERE.
My notebook is one of my dearest friends. Like a friend, I miss my notebook when I am away from it for too long. When I haven't visited my notebook, to drop in a word or a line or two, I feel very sad. Sometimes, things in our life can take us away from spending time with our friends. This can happen in our writing lives, too. When this happens, I try to give myself some grace. I know my notebook will be there waiting for me. Like a true friend, it's always there. It calls to me, like a long lost friend. I open it up, and begin again. And just like that, I feel anew!
Think about your favorite writer's tools. How are they like "friends" to you as a writer? If you keep a notebook, which kind do you prefer. Notebooks can often be called a safe place, a think-tank, a workbench, and so many more! What makes your notebook special? How might you describe it using this sentence stem, "My notebook is..."
Whatever writer's tools you use to collect your words, how do they welcome you and sustain you in your writing life? A writer's tool is a friend for life. Happy writing with your favorite writing tools and friends!
Happy Poetry Friday! Thanks for joining me for a visit this week. Matt is hosting this week at his space Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme. Join him for the rest of the round-up offerings!
Everyday a new set of current events and topics to ponder present themselves as focal points in our daily lives. While I believe it is very important for us to stay up to date with the happenings and possibilities that we may face in the future, I think it is equally important to stay centered in the now.
However, staying grounded in the now, does not always come so easy. In my own experience, I have noticed too often that the thoughts and sometimes worries about the future distract me. And somehow, before I've even realized it, I have given my full attention to something in the future that might not ever happen. As a result, I end up feeling as though I may have missed something extremely valuable and meaningful in my current reality. This tends to be a struggle for me both as a writer and as a person who cares deeply about the natural world as well as the small intricacies of ordinary life.
Whenever I sense this tension, this struggle, I do what I always do. I write. This kind of fast and furious writing in my notebook, allows me to document my thinking about the future, so that I can continue living in the now. By both acknowledging my questions and fears, I can create a space in time that gives me the freedom to plant myself in the moment to write the immediate thoughts of my mind. Writing provides an invitation and the the room to welcome balance in our lives.
Writers have different ways to balance their past, present, and future thoughts. For example, many writers choose to blog about ideas and issues that they are immediately responsive to. Other writers may choose to log their daily thoughts in a journal or notebook. Some writers do both! How do you choose to document your current and future thoughts for safe keeping? Where do you find balance in your writing life?
As many of my colleagues and students begin a new school year next week, I offer a question to ponder.
How do you know what to do with a blank page if it's always written for you?
To know triumph is to know defeat. Our struggle is real, and it binds us together-makes us human.
So, I invite you to take a risk this year. Take a leap. Face the page. Whatever your page may be, meet it head on. Your journey has just begun. It will be long, and it will challenge you every step of the way. but it will be well worth the wait. Remember, go slow to go fast!
And, I hope you bring others with you along the way. Share your story. Fill the page. And listen. For goodness sake, listen. Turn the page, and write, one page after another until it happens. You realize you're not done, you've only just begun.
So you'll begin again. The pages will be written by you, not for you. You will decide what comes next. You'll use the strategies you chose along the way, and you'll face each blank page, knowing you have the words to fill it.
How will you face your next blank page? Whatever your answer may be, it's golden! The risks we take and the strategies that we learn along the way are golden nuggets to share with our colleagues and students. Here's to the blank pages in life!
Happy Poetry Friday! Our friend Margaret is hosting today at her space Reflections on the Teche. Don't miss out on the poetry fun!
This week, I am back at the ridge with my friend, the moon. Yes, that's right, the moon again. I never grow tired of giving the moon praise for my writing inspiration. The moon is one of those magnetic topics for me. I feel drawn to write about it whenever I might feel a little empty. Thanks to the moon, my writing can always fill itself full.
Writers have different ways of filling their writing life with an abundance of words. What strategies do you have for bringing fullness to your writing?
Welcome! I'm so glad you are here visiting today. After your stop here at the ridge, be sure to sail over to Donna's space Mainely Write, where she is hosting the round-up for us.
I'm glad to be back with my Poetry Friday friends this week. I have been away hosting my other dear friends and members of the CSISD Writing Project. This is the third year that our school district has offered The Heart of Texas Writing Project professional development for the teaching of writing. This summer institute is truly a transformative experience for the participants. As teacher consultants, we are honored to be in a room full of teacher writers so dedicated to providing authentic writing instruction for their students. In celebration of our week together as writers, I am sharing a few pictures that capture our work and a piece inspired by these writers with wings.
With many voices all coming together to learn and grow as writers, the room became a safe place. It became a space to question, a space to explore, and a place to feel stuck. So we dreamed a little dream together. We imagined this not only for ourselves, but for our students. And in the midst of that dream, we opened our hearts and dared our minds to give that dream flight, to give it wings. We vowed to give our students those wings to stretch out and fly into this world as thinkers and as writers. For on the wings of a writer, humanity is restored. And the space between words and this world, is only as wide as our desire to fill it.
Discovering and exploring your identity as a writer is often a great place to begin your writing life. Spend some time getting to know yourself by writing inside your notebook. Write widely and often. Read and reread. Give yourself some grace. Focus on what is there rather than what is not. It is through a lens of appreciation that we must learn to view our own writing. It is through this lens that we may begin to expect and welcome the sound of our own words pitter-pattering upon the page. It is through this lens that we mine the words of others, those writers at heart.
Welcome! I am so excited to be hosting the Poetry Friday round-up this week. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of this group of poetry friends! Thank you for joining in the round-up this week. Please be my guest here at the ridge and add your link at the bottom of the post if you like.
A few days ago, a special package arrived in the mail. Inside was a well-loved copy of the book, The Shape of a Year by Jean Hersey. It was a gift from my dear cousin Ali, who had discovered it in her late grandmother's house. She had read it and thought that I might enjoy reading it as much as she did.
It turns out she was right. After reading the inside jacket and the introductory chapter, I knew that it was one of those unexpected treasures that find their way into the heart.
Here are a few excerpts that I particularly admire.
QUIET AND SMOOTH, fresh and untouched the new snow lies across our meadow. Its pristine surface catches the sunlight, and tree shadows stretch like great blue pencils over the unbroken white. The snow folds gently over rocks and hummocks half concealing, half revealing a variety of different shapes.
So lies our year ahead, its basic ingredients sun and shadow and suggested shapes of things to come. I wonder what we will do with this year, what it will do with us, and what together we and life will create during the twelve months ahead.
A new year is a gift... Things happen. We grow (we hope), and we learn willy nilly... Our reachings, acceptances, rejections, our hesitancies, courage, fears, and our loves, all these form the shape of the year for us, as individuals, as part of a family, as a member of a community.
For me, Hersey's words offer a gentle invitation to find joy in the ordinary gifts of each day of the year. She invokes a sense of purpose in the awareness and careful observation of ourselves and the world around us.
Though I was unable to find much information online about her personally or professionally, I was able to find a few tidbits about her life's work. Jean Hersey was born in 1902 in New York City. She later moved to Weston, Connecticut where she wrote several books about gardening including, A Woman's Day Book of Houseplants and I Like Gardening. Her other books, A Sense of Seasons and The Shape of a Year, are incredibly poetic memoirs that reflect her love of nature and her pleasure in documenting the beauty of ordinary life.
I have only begun to read The Shape of a Year, but I am certain that I will continue to be inspired by Hersey's graceful words and the joy she finds in the realm of daily life.
You can find some of her quotes HERE.
The shape of our year will soon change again as we head into the summer season. Spend some time thinking about the shape of your year so far and the days to come. Where do you already find joy in your daily life routines? Take a moment to write and reflect on these instances.
Think about how these moments help shape your thinking throughout the year. What impact might this thinking have on your goals and challenges this year?
Happy Poetry Friday! I am still on poetry cloud 9 after all the Poem in your Pocket Day festivities! Today, I am sharing some of the fun things that we did at my school to celebrate this perfectly pocketed poetic-filled day. For more of the poetry round-up, head over to JoAnn's space Teaching Authors.
There were poems in pockets throughout our entire school yesterday. And by the end of the day, there were none. That's because they were all tucked away in the pockets of children! It was so fun to see the excitement on their faces when they plucked a poem from the pocket and began to read.
What made it even more exciting was that the poems were written by the fourth grade poets at our school. Each poem was like a special treasure that students carried with them and read throughout the day.
I am including my own fourth grade son's poem below. He really enjoyed getting to write his poem and share it with others. It was a perfectly splendid "poem in your pocket day" for all.
I had to join in the fun, too! Here is one of the poems that I gave as a gift to all the staff members at my school to place in their pockets for the day.
Big, though, small, diamond in wood-nails.
Read the rest of the poem here.
I invite you to pick a poem for your pocket this week. Carry it with you wherever you go. Let each line, each word, and each pause be your guide as you journey throughout the day. Live with your poem for a week, for a month, for a lifetime. May it bring you pockets full of joy each time you read it!
Welcome, Poetry Friday visitors! This week I am taking a break from my bird waiting and sharing a poem of... Be sure to squeeze by Heidi's space My Juicy Little Universe, where she is hosting today's round-up.
They're here! The Purple Martins have returned to the ridge at last. Mama and Papa Martin arrived this evening just before sunset. Words can't express how excited I am to have these purple-winged beauties back. Of course, I had to give it a go by drafting a little tribute poem to this traveling pair.
Writers, I do hope each of you continue to live, dream, and write with all your heart. Hopes and dreams do come true when you write. Your words matter. There is hope, still.
Writers live, dream, and write. I remind myself of this quite often, especially when I am in a slump. It helps me remember that my dreams in this life can come true through words.
Howdy, Poetry Friday friends! Thanks for stopping by and visiting me at the ridge where I am writing up a storm about birds while I wait for my favorite spring birds, the Purple Martins, to arrive. While I'm rounding up poems about birds, our friend Karen Edmisten is rounding up words for our round up today. Thanks for hosting, Karen!
Waiting sure is hard sometimes, especially when you want something really bad. For the past couple of weeks, I have been patiently waiting for my Purple Martin bird friends to return. With each passing day, my mind becomes and more consumed with worry that they might not return. Lucky for me, I know what to do while I'm waiting. I write! I write about other bird friends and animal friends that I love. I write about hopes, fears, and things I hold dear. I write about lots of things. Words can be great friends that help to pass the time away through all that waiting.
I have hope that the Martins will arrive, but until they do, I keep writing! After all, I have so many words that want to sprout wings and fly out into the world each day.
There are times and even places where we tend to spend a lot of time waiting. You might wait in line at a grocery store or at a drive through restaurant. You might even spend time waiting at an airport, subway station, or a doctor's office. So what do you do while you are waiting? Perhaps you read a book or spend time on your phone. Do you write? Writers, my hope for you today and everyday is that you find those spaces in the seams of your life to write. Think of all the words that are waiting to be written!
I can't believe it has been so long since my last post. Although I have been keeping my notebook, I don't feel like I have spent enough time keeping up with my writing life lately. One of my biggest struggles is finding the time to fulfill all of my day job obligations while still being faithful to my writing life. I have heard other writers speak of this, so I am pretty sure the struggle is real. I wonder how other writers embrace this challenge. What are some ways to return to a writing life? How can we build back the stamina after taking those longer breaks from writing? I have been thinking a lot about these questions, so I have been trying different ways to take back my writing life.
To begin with, I did an assessment of my writing. I gathered my notebooks and looked carefully at my entry dates. I wanted to see just how much writing I was producing across the days and months of a year. And honestly, it made me sad at first to think of all the days that slipped by without my words upon the page. But then I found that this really did motivate me to reclaim my writing life. I decided that if my first step was to write daily or consistently, I was going to have to be strategic. So I put my notebook by my bed with a pen and a pencil, and I made a point to reach for it every night before I turned out my light. I also found that rereading entries and even thumbing through previous notebooks really jump started my writing back to life.
I know there must be other ways to return to writing, but I think finding what works for you just takes a little assessment and exploration of your writing life. I discovered that if I got caught up in thinking about all the things "I should be..." doing other than writing, I would miss out on living. And I wouldn't miss that for the world! No matter what, don't give up. You are a writer, so keep writing!

Q: How to sum pixel values from 2 raster I want to create raster from 2 input rasters. how do I get pixel values that are the sum of the pixel values of the input rasters?
So i have classified rasters where non-water pixels are 0 and water pixels in one raster are 1 and in the other 2. So I want to get a new raster where 0 are the pixels where both rasters had non-water, 1 where only the first found water, 2 only the second and value 3 would mean that both rasters classified this pixel as water. Until now what i am doing is simply sum the raster.
library(raster)
reclass_df1 <- c(0, 2160, 1, 2160, Inf, 0)
reclass_df2 <- c(0, 2160, 2, 2160, Inf, 0)
reclass_msen1 <- matrix(reclass_df1, ncol = 3,byrow = TRUE)
reclass_msen2 <- matrix(reclass_df2, ncol = 3,byrow = TRUE)
ras2_1 <- reclassify(ras2[[1]],reclass_msen1)
ras2_1 <- reclassify(ras2[[2]],reclass_msen2)
ras2_combi <- ras2_1 + ras2_2

As output I expected to have values from 0 to 3. so that 0 would be where both rasters had non-water pixels, 1 when only the one raster, 2 the other and 3 when both rasters have water pixels. but i only get values 0,1 and 3 and i doubt that this can be correct.

People can say what they want about Jennifer Lopez but homegirl is always on point when she hits the red carpet! The Latina stunner attended the MET Gala last night in a Michael Kors leopard print dress that hugged her curves perfectly. JLo was in Miami over the weekend shooting the music video for her song "Live It Up" with South Florida's own Pitbull, which is why she looks so perfectly tanned. Shout out to my girl Fabiola from SoBe Tans for doing such an amazing job spraying this beauty!
It's tough to pick a favorite thing about this look but I have to go with the hair. Lots of celebrities brought their A-game when it came to styling their strands (I'm looking at you Anne Hathaway) but it's Jenny's FauxHawk that wins top honors.
So how can YOU get this look at home? We spoke to JLo's team at L'Oreal about how to re-create it, and we got a breakdown from hairstylist to the stars Marcos Carrasquillo.
Pull your hair into a high ponytail at the crown of your head. Spray the sides and front with L'Oréal Paris Elnett Satin Extra Strong Hold Hairspray and comb through it to tease your hair and give it a polished, voluminous effect. Make sure not to touch the bangs as this will be done as the last step.
Use hot rollers to curl the bottom tips of your hair and pin them to the crown of your hair, leaving them in place for 15-20 minutes. · Once, the hair is fully curled-comb each side very tight and pull your hair as if you're creating a high ponytail. Spray a lot of hairspray to the sides to tighten.
Tease your bangs and use L'Oréal Paris EverStyle Texture Series Energizing Dry Shampoo to give it texture and spray them with hairspray very lightly and twist them to the back-giving them a swoosh effect.
Pin where needed to recreate the punk look.
Quick Insider Tip: Marcos recommends to use the new L'Oréal Paris Feria Wild Ombré to recreate J.LO's subtle ombre golden hair color.


Have you ever had someone tell you that they don't need money? Or have you had this thought yourself? As weird as this may sound to some, they're not alone in having these thoughts. It turns out that many people have a love-hate relationship with money.
Many creatives believe that making too much money would transform them into a sell-out. For example, I once spoke with a guy who shared this belief. So, without even realizing it, he made decisions that kept him from making money. He thought that money would somehow force him to change his lifestyle. He might be right in his own ways – there are as many points of view as the number of people on Earth – but he's far from the truth.
Money lets you make different decisions. It gives you a freedom in which you can explore a variety of options. Money will let you do whatever is meaningful for you.
Having more money doesn't mean that you have to wear certain clothes or drive expensive cars. It means that you can indulge in whatever you are passionate about and think of the future. Despite what creative people tend to think, it will not make you 'evil'.
To make more money, you have to have the right mindset. It all starts with your beliefs. Wrong beliefs can drag you down. Meanwhile, the right beliefs can propel you in ways you've never even thought possible.
Let's discuss the three critical mindsets that you need to have to run a successful business.
1. PEOPLE PAY ME FOR THE VALUE THAT I CREATE.
"Most people are deeply scripted in what I call the Scarcity Mentality. They see life as having only so much, as though there were only one pie out there. And if someone were to get a big piece of the pie, it would mean less for everyone else." – Stephen Covey, Author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
You can't earn more unless you know your value. Your time is precious, and if you intend on making a dollar, you have to show that you are a valuable asset to your clients. So, it's important to understand why people pay you. For example, if you're a web designer. Do they pay you to build a beautiful website, or do they pay you to bring them more business via a website? Those two may take the same amount of time to complete, but they have completely different values.
I want you to close your eyes, think back to the last time you purchased a cold drink. Let's say it was a coke, why did you buy it? In most cases, it was because you were thirsty. The value of quenching your thirst was much higher than the monetary value. Did you lose anything in this transaction? Well, no. It was merely an exchange. You gave your money, and you got rid of a problem–your thirst. Both you and the seller got something out of this transaction.
The same applies to when you are selling your services. If you think that clients are doing you a favor by working with you, and that you don't deserve their money, you are in for disaster. Instead, focus on the value that you create. Understand that for some clients you won't be able to create massive value, and it's best to turn down these jobs.
For me, my main business is to provide development services for designers. When I started my business, I had the wrong mindset. It's only much later than I came to realise that I was actually adding massive value to their businesses. They no longer had to struggle with code, and they could count on someone reliable to take care of that for them. With that realisation, I went from being a struggling freelancer to a profitable business owner.
Being well-paid will feed your creativity. It will help you grow your business, which takes us to the second money mindset.
2. THE MORE MONEY YOU MAKE, THE MORE VALUE YOU CAN CREATE.
Why is it so often the case that the rich get richer? Or that 5% of the top freelancers earn 50% of all the revenue? It comes down to one key point, and it has to do with value again.
The more value you create for your clients, the more valuable you become. As the value of your services goes up, you get to make more high-value connections. Your ideas and opinions become more respected.
Now, the big question is: how do you become more valuable? One of the simplest ways is by making more money.
Let's see an example: given the same price, what's more valuable to a business? A designer who takes two days for a piece of artwork or one who takes a couple hours. The answer might seem odd for many designers but bear with me for a second.
It's the one who takes the least amount of time to deliver a high-quality artwork. As a business owner, when I want an artwork, I want it as soon as possible. For me, it's an item on my to-do list, and I'd rather cross it out ASAP. I don't care that your computer takes ten minutes to load an old version of Photoshop. I don't care that you took several hours to look for free stock photos. I only care about the results.
An ambitious designer will invest in high-performance hardware. He will have subscriptions to high-quality stock photos sites. This designer can even delegate the first pass to finding a photo to an assistant. He will also invest in courses on how to optimize his design process. Finally, he will have premium tools and systems in place so he can focus on what's most valuable. Usually, that's his design skills.
In the two days that the first designer used to create one piece of artwork, the second created several, for various clients, adding value to each business. He is able to earn much more in the same period. In fact, he can even price his service much higher and still be more valuable.
Having an assistant, purchasing premium courses, buying powerful hardware or software costs a lot of money. Yet, they are investments and, if done right, will almost always bring in much more money than their cost.
3. MONEY IS THE ONLY REAL METRIC FOR ACHIEVEMENT.
In the world of freelancing and self-employment, we usually get confused with a ton of metrics. The number of website visitors, leads, followers on Twitter, connections on LinkedIn, number of Facebook likes, shares, etc. While these metrics are good to know, they are not an indicator of your success. You can have someone that has 10,000 likes on a Facebook post but still be broke.
The amount of money that your business has generated, that's a true metric to consider. Personally, I believe that it's the only real metric for success. When you get paid for what you produce, it means that people around you believe you are capable and have done something great. Something so great that your client happily gave up their hard-earned money to you. Plus, they are telling others to do the same.
Your service added so much value to their business that it is worth much more than the money they invested.
The way to success is pretty clear, but you will not see a straight line towards the top unless you put your mind to it. You must free yourself of all negative concepts about money. It's simple: you are a good person, and money will allow you to do more good.
You already provide valuable services to your clients. Investing time and money in your business will only further improve your services. You must make more money to provide more valuable services in the future.
This is the way to earning a fortune and making it all count. Always remember: you will only get richer if you have something valuable to offer. You will get to a point where your service will be in high-demand, no matter what price you ask for it. However, first you must begin the journey.
We want to hear from your own business experiences. Where do you find yourself in this journey towards success?
Did you start your business with the right money mindset? Did you feel guilty when you wanted more money for the services you provided? What do you think about money in your own business?

love the hammock- Genna is so gorgeous!


We created a "How to choose a product" PDF that we are marketing to resource pages and blogs in four appropriate niches. It's good, unique content that's useful.The PDF has it's own non-commercial page.
We will be doing email outreach with buzzstream.
2. $100 in adwords traffic including up to 20 keywords.
Let me stop there and see what your feedback is. We're looking for (about) how many emails to send out building relationships before making the above offer. Or is there some way to make the offer immediately?
Also, what makes a good subject line?
Rand seems to indicate that you can make the offer right away in this whiteboard friday but every other article and video I've watched have said to build a relationship first.
Any help is appreciated. We'll be writing all completely custom, researched outreach emails, carefully crafted.
Although not the answer you want, it depends!
What I would do, is split test your outreach.
In one email, make the offer right away, and in another be a little more cautious.
To some extent, it does depend on what you are asking the bloggers to do. For example, are you asking them to write a review of the PDF? or do you want to write & supply a guest post?
In either instance, I wouldn't offer them the link back from another related site - that's just me personally. To me, that would look too much like one of the '3 way link swap' emails that I delete each week.
Offering the adwords traffic is an interesting one, however I would use that one as a contest personally - one of the reviewers picked at random.
In terms of offering a FB like or Tweet - I would instead tell them that you would be happy to share their post across your company's social channels.
The actual email you write, including the subject line, will depend to some extent on the tone of voice of the blogger you are reaching out to.
I have used Buzzstream a fair bit myself - what I tend to do is NOT use their inbuilt scraper (I don't like most serp scrapers!).
Instead I use the bookmarklet they provide, which then allows me to make notes (on the final page of the bookmarklet, after confirming their contact data etc), on things like: Their tone of voice, links to their guest post guidelines, any notes on if they do giveaways, etc.
Also, when first adding the prospect to buzzstream, be SURE to use tags that will be useful in the future (may be useful for other campaigns/clients etc). Doing things like using non-industry specific tags like 'giveaway' or 'contest' can help with future efforts, as you can search buzzstream for such prospects.
For the above reason, consider just bookmarking a set number first, say 10 to 20% of the total number of blogs you intend to reach out to, but ensuring you have enough sample data to be reliable. - The more folks you intend to reach out to, the lower the % can be, basically!
This way, you are testing the water, and getting some stats (other than opinions) to base your campaign on. I like this method, as no 2 industries are the same really.
This is all to solicit a link to the PDF page, only soliciting to sites that look like they would directly benefit from providing this PDF to readers.
I'm convinced that you always build relationships first, but I'm open to testing if other experts have the same opinion.
Well personally, I agree with you. I always like to try to find a hook, common ground, or something to talk about with a prospect.
For others though, it's a numbers game, and the pleasure and higher conversion rate you get by being more personal does have to be compared with the lower conversion rate but higher volume of a less personalised outreach.
I like to go after higher value relationships myself, and so am fine with taking the time to connect with people - comment on their bogs, .help out with any problems they have on their site (broken links/broken social badges, etc) and build a relationship up first, before even asking about a guest post.
Sometimes though, when an outreach campaign is urgent, it can be good to know how to quickly assess a site, add to buzzstream, making comments in the notes section as a mental reminder of the tone of voice to use with a blogger, what would work well for their blog, and also any issues they have with their site.
I find that in most cases making notes etc on things about them and their blog, then emailing them with that in mind, but being YOURSELF, and being honest, has the best effect.
If they don't have a resource section, what are all the ways to offer my how-to-choose-a-product PDF to them? Some are blogs, some are not.
To a large extent it depends on the site in question.
Blogs are the easy one - guest posting.
Static sites without resource areas are harder, I would check to see if they have a news section, or perhaps they have a mailing list they could send info to, for example.
At worse case, even if you are targeting sites that don't have frequently updated areas (blog/press section/news section etc OR a mailing list), then perhaps they could at least mention/recommend the pdf to their social following? (Tweet/LinkedIn share/Facebook post).
Other than that, would be hard to say without seeing the sites being targeted.
If they are a blog, I build a little bit of rapport commenting on their blog, tell them if they have broken links (if they do) and offer them a guest post around my free resource PDF in exchange for $100 in adwords traffic & sharing their URL across my companies local channels.
If they have a resource section that I might fit in, I again build rapport with them, tell them about broken links and then ask them if they would list my pdf in their resource section and that I would be happy to do $100 in Adwords traffic and share them socially in exchange.
At what stage are you mentioning broken links etc? During the blog commenting, or via email?
I would suggest email is the best - saves making them 'lose face' in front of their audience by people reading about it in comments (although I am sure they moderate their blogs!).
All-in-all, sounds like a good strategy to me. As long as you are making 'in-roads' with people, and managing to get a bit of a rapport going, I think that you have a good workflow laid out there!
Others may be able to give further input, but I think you are doing well.
If you are not doing so already, perhaps open the email with a little reminder of who you are - log their memory re: a comment you made/discussed with them, etc - it can help avoid their 'spam blindness' - We are all so cynical these days due to the shear volume of spammy dribble that get's sent, reminding someone right away that you are a real person, and have already been talking with them, can help with read-rates of our outreach emails.
Hope that helps... well done Bob!

When the winner of a pro golf tournament pockets $1 million and then muffs acknowledging the correct sponsor, you've got an identity problem.
And such confusion in recent years has underscored the relationship, if not the constant bickering, between Arthur Andersen & Co. and sister firm Andersen Consulting, both under the Andersen Worldwide banner.
Back in late February, Northern Ireland's Darren Clarke won the World Match Play Championship sponsored by Andersen Consulting, which has poured millions of dollars into the golf event over the years.
"Thank you, Arthur Andersen," is what Clarke said. No thanks, is what Andersen Consulting should have replied.
But with the ruling Monday that accounting firm Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting must go their separate ways, the latter will have to come up with a new moniker.
Megabuck ad budgets have backed Andersen Consulting globally, with spending hitting $18 million in the U.S. alone in 1999, according to Competitive Media Reporting. The total purse for the golf tournament was $5 million, exclusive of the commercials during the telecasts.
Now, Andersen Consulting has to face up to solving a problem, perhaps its biggest challenge ever, something it's done for clients in the past--that is, select a new name for the company.
If such a challenge were to be presented in the consumer packaged-goods arena, "it would amount to a disaster," says Jim Johnson, chairman of Enterprise IG (Identity Group), a Manhattan-based brand identity firm that itself was renamed in 1999 from Anspach Grossman Portugal.
Suppose, for example, that Wendy's International, No. 3 in burgers, was forced to come up with a new name, or that one of the GM divisions had to change nameplates.
Johnson takes a positive approach to Andersen Consulting's task.
"It's not a problem as much as a major opportunity," Johnson says. "They could come out of it with even more awareness of what they do in the business-to-business environment.
"That's if they do it well, and on a professional basis, rather than treating it as a sideline."
This sounds like Andersen Consulting might need an outside consultant.
Andersen Consulting had better move quickly, at least coming up with a new banner for its golf tournament in January in Melbourne, Australia.
Trotter eyes London: Charlie Trotter's Trotter To Go retail venture here won't open until at least October, but this high-flying culinary standout is strongly considering a London restaurant as part of an expansion program. A Trotter spokesman told this column Monday that the restaurateur is considering three locations in London. A lease hasn't been signed, and Trotter is tight-lipped about a possible partnership there. Charlie Trotter's at 816 W. Armitage Ave. will remain his flagship. A few years ago, he established a restaurant in the MGM Grand in Las Vegas but pulled out when hotel management wanted to change the menu concept, something that turned him off. Trotter To Go will be across from the Lakeshore Club on West Fullerton Avenue.

IPAC Chairman lauds Buhari's achievements, speech
in News Update
The National Chairman, Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Muhammed Nalado, has commended the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari led-All Progressives Congress (APC) administration as read in his democracy day speech.
Nalado, in an interview with Our Reporter in Abuja on Tuesday, said that the achievements listed in Buhari's speech were verifiable and that Nigerians could judge them.
He said that the fight against corruption by the Buhari-led administration had helped to correct a lot of wrong practices in the country, adding that it had brought the country back on track.
"In the area of security, even though we still have insecurity challenge, this administration has been able to reduce it, though government can still do more to protect Nigerians.
"The insecurity in the North east has reduced and the numbers of road blocks across the country have reduced.
"Our foreign reserve has also increased. Many children are now benefiting from the Home Grown School Feeding Programme. I believe in what Buhari said he has done.''
He said that government policy on diversification had also helped many Nigerians to go back to farming unlike before that the country's economy relied solely on oil revenue.
Nalado also said that Nigerians have course to celebrate democracy day, saying the sustained long years of democracy was an evidence that politicians and democratic governments were back on track, in spite of contrary opinions.
"If you look back at the level of development, you will see we have achieved dividends of democracy than under military regime.
"Our education sector under the democratic government has improved and road construction across the country is increasing.
"The most important dividend we are enjoining now is the freedom; freedom of speech and association, which we couldn't enjoy under the military era.
The IPAC Chairman advised Nigerians to engage the government in positive criticism that would further strengthen the country's democracy, security of lives and economic growth.
"I believe citizens need to support the government and criticize objectively.
"I also want to advise Nigerians to use this democracy day to reflect on ways to do things in positive and united ways to improve the situation of the country.''

Bayern Munich squad agreed on 20 pay cut
The Bundesliga is taking measures to protect the economic balance by cutting the players wages with 20 per cent.
Bayern Munich squad have agreed to reduce the players salary. The postponement of the Bundesliga has seen teams revenues plummet, for example Borussia Dortmund's value in terms of stock is dropping significantly.
According to Bild the Bavarian club had come to an agreement with the players in order to help the club financially, and the measures will also include cut offs in the club's board of directors.
Bayern Munich presented their budget of 750.5 million euros for the 2019/20 campaign and the wages of sporting personnel are 336.2m euros.
Meanwhile, the Borussia head coach Lucien Favre, proposed to cut his salary. The club offered two other options for the current situation.
The first one is to cut the player wages with 20 per cent if the season don't resume and the second is to cut the players wages with 10 per cent if the matches are played behind closed doors.
The explanation why only 10 per cent is that the club will receive money from the televisions.

El cerro Tres Picos es un cerro glaciarizado de la cordillera de los Andes ubicado en el departamento Cushamen, provincia del Chubut, Argentina. Tiene 2492 , formando junto con el Cerro Dos Picos (de 2515 msnm) y el cerro Anexo (de 2498 msnm) una de las mayores elevaciones de la provincia. Se localiza al oeste del lago Cholila y al sur del Parque Nacional Lago Puelo, sobre la Reserva Provincial Río Turbio. Su nombre se debe a la forma del cerro, que se divide en tres picos en su cima.

Las características de la roca en la cerro es del tipo metamórfico, con zonas estables y otras muy inestables, existiendo paredes cercanas con granito ideal para Big Wall. Debido al peligro constante de caída de piedras, durante los cuarenta últimos años pocos alpinistas lograron la cumbre.

En la zona del cerro y del Dos Picos, han ocurrido ventas irregulares de tierras.

Hidrografía
Al sur y al norte del cerro, nacen por deshielos varios arroyos (como el Percey y del Turco), que aportan sus aguas al río Tigre y al Lago Cholila.

For My Grand-Children Alanna Mari & Corey James Pinkham Jr. R.I.P. Grand-ma Keeps You In Her Heart Always ,, God Bless You Both Always !!
Thanks for posting this. Today was one of those days. I miss my momma, daddy, younger sister,and the baby sibling I never got to hold in my arms, but have never stopped loving and missing for over 40 yrs. I hold them in my heart. They say you can't miss someone you never knew. Well, that is not true. I look forward to seeing all of my loved ones. Including the ones I never had the chance to meet on this earth.


I thought this was cute, that's all.
omg Rawri ♥ I'm still all omg over this.
this was my VERY FIRST zap!
Rawri was totally jealous, so I let her have him!
This will only include the colour/species changes, even though I'm actually zapping her for stats and avatars.
Dahal was created as a green Gelert, and her first zap changed her to Glowing but I didn't think of making a zaplog then, oops.
Done in screenies because that's more interesting than a written list.
I painted her red after this zap, because I already have a Tyrannian Gelert!
Tyrannian again! I painted her yellow this time.

The best Sandisk SD card type for a Pi?
I'm looking for reliability, I've already had 2 SDs fail. As I was entering a warranty claim I tried to sign up for their forums to ask there, couldn't make their form work so far. At https://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4968/ is a picture of (current?) card types. I've read good stuff about the Extreme Pro or Extreme Plus, I forget which.
But wait a minute, UHS is a different bus style internally with advantages. If a Pi can't take advantage of them it just runs in slow mode for compatibility and money is wasted. We're talking $70 and up for a 128 GB and it's already going to have to wait until after next payday. I want the best one a Pi can use without getting features it can't use.
I see Sandisk is owned by Western Digital, at least now. I'd prefer Seagate, but WD is mostly OK, in terms of hard drive failures I've had.
Re: The best Sandisk SD card type for a Pi?
Any reason for specifying sandisk?
I have never had a problem with Samsung cards (EVO+) and they are commonly recommended.
Though looking at amazon anyway, they now only seem to be available in 32GB or more sizes (which is fine).
Oh, just brand loyalty mostly. I've been buying mostly Sandisk since my first digital camera about 2000. I know there are a lot of counterfeits these days but I avoid the cheap brands except for maybe something like my mp3 player where it doesn't hold my only copy of something. And applications like the Pi are kind of an uncharted area with the frequent reads and writes. But Samsung has been making SD cards as long as Sandisk has. In hard drives I won't touch another Maxtor because Staples was pushing rebate deals on them once around 2002 and I bought several that failed within 6 months. There were even bad batches of IBM drives, and they had I think 5 year warranties, right before they switched to using Hitachi.
Most of my SDs have come from photo places like Adorama or B&H, and B&H is in the forefront on this again with a 128 EVO+ at $50. https://www.google.com/shopping/product ... 8wIIiQMwAA I guess 400s are out so 256s should come down soon. I've just increased my "fleet" to 3 Pi3s and 2 Zeros so I need to get paraphernalia ordered for the new arrivals.
Normally I don't want anything to do with overclocking anything, so even though I may have seen it I ignored it. I'd say it probably should have been named differently. Like maybe UHS? Overclocking generally shortens the lifespans of things to gain a few percent better performance, in this case it's (apparently) enabling a different mode. I'd liken it to the higher ATAPI PIO modes, some of which require an 80 conductor drive cable instead of 40, then they can be confirmed by looking at dmesg (OK, i386 OpenBSD). If there's a way to probe for this capability on booting and enable it, instead of relying on obscure methods that would be good. As far as I know an increasing percentage of SD cards will be UHS in the future.

What power supply were you using when your sd cards got corrupted ?
The official 2.5 amp, and most of my USB stuff was in a powered hub. It had been running a year or so 24/7, not that I didn't crash and reboot now and then but I treated it exactly the same as I would treat a hard drive. First I noticed a few odd things like Gimp wouldn't save TIFFs right, then one day it didn't boot anymore. About 3% of the space was bad by badblocks. I had cloned it about 2 weeks before so I didn't lose much.
Oh, and the other was actually in an Android phone. Android does this thing sometimes where it stops seeing an SD card. Then it does, then it doesn't. I think I copied everything off, reformatted it, copied everything back, and it was still happening.
I'm pursuing the warranty approach for now, but I will still need more SDs (more computers). Even the plain black Sandisk Ultra has a 10 year warranty, some of the fancier red ones have lifetime warranties. I had to take a "clear picture" in one case and send it. Don't ask a photographer type for the best picture they can take unless you're willing to wait a while. So my case had expired and I had to reopen it. But they seem to take warranties seriously, I'm glad I didn't throw the bad ones away.
You do need a place of purchase and approximate date. Since I'd mostly bought online from Adorama Camera I could search my Gmail. I haven't actually seen any replacements yet, I'm still working on getting RMA numbers so far, but it looks good.
But they came out just recently, street price looks like about $250, the 256 GB is still about $139.
I did get my RMA, packaging stuff up to send off now. This one is a UHS card by the 1 inside the U. A few of mine turn out to be now that I know what to look for.
You mentioned that the uSD was running for a year in your device. It's not much publicized, but NAND (the memory type in the card) - can have a pretty short decay time before it allows bitrot of data (I've read somewhere that cheap cards can have as short as a nine month decay). I think SanDisks are much better than this, but I suppose there could be the bad lot. If the bitrot is in a certain place (the uSD card's controller memory) - then it can become unusable (usually read-only).
My personal experience is that the cards usually keep data integrity for much longer than nine months. I have a number of USB drives (uses same kind of memory internally) with 5 year old data, still intact. But, the usual culprit for a RO uSD is it's losing power while writing. Even with that scenario, my SanDisks have never gone bad.
I've taken the habit of copying my uSD disks and my SSD disks to a hard drive, and then recopying the data back onto the SSD or uSD to "refresh" it. I've been doing this about every six mos or so.
Yes - I like that 400GB Sandisk! Mine are mostly the 128GB which seems to be sweet spot right now, pricewise.
I was marvelling at how well Piclone works and how simple it makes doing a full backup of my 128s, then wham, I got hit. So I didn't lose much.
I've got about 8 SD cards between phones, cameras, and Pis, only had a problem with 2 of them. Most are Sandisk. I do have a couple of USB drives about 10 years old that will crash a machine hard if I try to read from them.
Copying off, then copying back, hmm, sounds a little like magnetic tape. A good idea though.
It's improved version from Extreme Pro series, and yet it's cheaper than earlier model on most websites that are selling it.
I suspect the best 32GB SDCard to use is the one destined for the International Space Station where a failure needs a three and a half hour re-entry and landing in Kazakhstan, a long while on the ground and a three hour flight from Baikonur and hour and a half docking to go to the shops for a new one.
They're going to fly the Samsung Evo MB-MP32DA/EU SDCards up there.
You're not going to want those to break too often, as that round trip is going to cost a fortune.
Interesting. I'm watching my Sandisk 32 and 128 go in for warranty replacement. You could put a spare SD in a reader plugged into a USB port, but you'd have to have it running and change your fstab and cmdline.txt to change where it boots from. Might be best to use USB boots by default then they're easier to change.
Taking the case apart is a PITA, I have to admit. I've been thinking about running a uSD extension cable to the case wall, and then cobble-up some kind of connector (that hopefully doesn't look too ugly). Maybe ther's a better looking one available somewhere like Amazon, that could be mounted on the case? I have a larger case than most folks, and use real connectors for the most part (not just a hole in the case).
Or maybe the SD card needs a handle, maybe shaped like a key or popsicle stick. So you don't have to open a case, you just plug the SD card in through a hole, wouldn't matter if the case was 4 inches thick. I'm thinking maintaining a device on some sort of mission where the primary goal isn't fitting the maximum number of cards in the least space. A microsd is so small it scares me, I'm careful to keep them in envelopes or some container. Drop one on a shag carpet and finding it could take a while. Outdoors in grass, forget it.
I like the official cases I have, although the Pi is so small and light compared to the cables that it takes careful planning to have it sitting on its feet. If my overtemperature icon comes on I just reach over and pop the top off the case. Oh, you could rack-mount about 4 Pis to one panel about 5 inches high, with power supplies and connectors.
Yup. I've been licensed twice, and with another ham I've known in real life for 35 years or so we figured out that it's the technology and studying that's more interesting than being on the air. I have to put up antennas and run hundreds of transmitter watts to talk to someone I can talk to on the internet? Nah. Plenty of hams don't have much besides the weather to talk about. It's nice to have the capability and I'll do the paperwork to keep the license active. Actually I'm starting to get into SDR from the perspective of writing the software to figure out how it works. But I've got SETI in mind more than actually talking to anybody. And I worked 20 years as an electronics technician, 10 in consumer electronics, 10 in science.
Started with "RX only" via my "Elmer" back in the late sixties. My Elmer helped me build the RX with a cereal-box PCB and a shoebox case. First got licensed in early seventies (71' ?). Now age is showing. Anyway, I like operating just for the CW, I suppose in the same way some people like to play the guitar, which I'm lousy at.
Ah, OK, about the same time I had an uncle that gave me a used Hallicrafters S-110 or S-120 5 tube radio with 3 or 4 bands. Then I mowed lawns and pulled weeds to earn enough to afford my first Heathkit 3 tube superregen. In high school a buddy of mine and I bought Realistic DX-150s. We used to listen to hams, mostly 80 meter AM, but didn't know any. I guess my Elmer would be an ex-neighbor of my exwife and his wife. They were both electrical engineering majors and drilled me in the code. I was living near Boston so I drove to the FCC office and did my technician class license. Had maybe 2 cw QSOs and my DX-100 power transformer went up in smoke. About 1977. Lost interest until about 2008 when the FCC had dropped the code requirement. Studied a month and jumped from nothing to Extra class in one evening.
That sounds like fun, I never did have a working crystal radio.
and sometimes not. My next effort will be to write a version (in C) that loops through parameters like RF and IF gain and dumps out tab-delimited files and Gnuplot scripts and generates plots at the different settings. I think I'm probably overloading the dongle by running the gains too high, which makes the signals go away. And in some places I read that dongles with the R820T tuner chip (like mine) don't have an IF gain setting even though librtlsdr lets me set one.
Because the graphics on the screen need to move, which is tricky in X. And I'm keeping an eye on CPU usage. I've been through framebuffer graphics, vnclib virtual framebuffers, now I've come back to just drawing in XLib. Except I want some widgets for buttons, frequency readout, etc, so probably Motif since it's easier than GTK. Except my peaks keep going away. This was just xlib, I think.
So still radio. I've used SDR software like GQRX, hdsdr, sdrsharp, but I wanted to understand better how they actually work.
BTW your name made me look up ka2rrz whose name is also Ron. A transplant from upstate NY to TN. He was just starting to get into Arduinos last I knew about 2014. He's on Yahoo mail which screws up a lot and blocks my Gmail, eventually we gave up. A couple people I knew in high school are in SC.
Ordered one of those and a power supply. Funny how people not into radio don't understand the importance of containing computer generated RF trash in metal boxes.
It all worked out fine. After about 3 exchanges on the Sandisk message board they sent me not just an RMA but a PDF of a shipping label to print with postage included at their expense. I put it on a padded envelope and put it in the mailbox. Then in another week or so I had 2 new SD cards in full retail packages.
