ODC-SYSTEM - SYNONYMS and ANTONYMS
Gardening in the Fingerlakes has been a challenge, however with time we're figuring it out. The best system we've come to embrace is "Raised Bed Gardening." It is much easier to plant than having to be right at ground level; you can concentrate your fertilizing in one area much better and it helps eliminate weed accumulation giving you a greater control over the area you have to tend.
The task at our photography club recently was to capture bubbles ... and I would say that a majority of us found it's not as easy as it sounds ! Here's my feeble effort.
I did like the colours of the bubble and it reminded me of a planet ... it looked a little boring on its own, so I added a 'sun' and some 'stars' ! The black 'background' is a length of a velvet type material.
Topaz 'Clarity' and 'Star FX' was used.
My trip to the Munch Museum on my last day in Oslo took me to the city's excellent, clean, modern and efficient subway system, known as the T-bane.
T-bane is short for tunnelbane. Tunnel means the same in both languages. Bane means "path." One analog is the British "tube." Or, just call it the Metro.
They're printable. They can be made into lots of things. They're fun.
My mom is all excited about how she can use these with the kids' school work...
The Bell System (aka Ma Bell) refers to popular names used to described a group of companies that operated initial telephone services in the US. In 1877, the American Bell Telephone Company, named after Alexander Graham Bell, opened the first telephone exchange in New Haven, CT. Within a few years local exchange companies were established in every major city in the US. Use of the Bell System name initially referred to those early telephone franchises.
In 1899, American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) acquired the assets of the American Bell Telephone Company. Originally AT&T was created to make long distance calls between New York and Chicago and beyond. AT&T became the parent of American Bell because regulatory and tax rules were leaner in New York then in Boston where American Bell was headquartered. Later, the Bell System and its moniker "Ma Bell" became a term that referred generally to all AT&T companies of which there were four major divisions;
• AT&T Long Lines providing long lines to interconnect local exchanges and
long distance calling services.
• Western Electric Company Bell's equipment manufacturing arm,
• Bell Labs conducting research and development for AT&T.
• Bell operating companies providing local exchange telephone services.
In 1913, under AT&T ownership the Bell System became a government sanctioned monopoly regulated by the US Federal Communications Commission. Proliferation of the telephone allowed the company to become the largest corporation in the world until its divestment by the US Department of Justice in 1984, at which time the Bell System ceased to exist.

A hand drawn sketch by Dr. Christensen from the University of Michigan Medical School for the laboratory sessions he conducted in the Medical Histology Course for first year medical students. The drawings were done with felt markers on a white board in the lab during the morning of the day a particular topic was being studied in the course. When the laboratory session began, the drawings were briefly discussed, and they could be seen by the students throughout the laboratory period.

I'm not much of a gamer but she's got my vote for the best gaming system.
The duct tape and electrical tape accents are very nice. Wonder which versions she works with best? *mischievous grin*
This one lens practically lives on my D200. It fills the most usable range with the DX digital sensor being 1.5x crop factor. The lens comes with the HB-31 lens hood, which is a good thing because I've noticed flare in some lighting conditions. It is big (77mm filters), heavy - especially when coupled with the D200 and just overall beastly. It covers practically the same focal range as the kit lens, but oh so nice to use. Sharp when wide open, contrasty, AF-S, and f/2.8 max aperture. You owe it to yourself to at least rent one for a day.
This was an exercise with the DIY macro studio I made according to the Strobist.com instructions. Basically a cardboard box with three sides cut out of it and covered with translucent material. A paper wedge or "infinity sweep" of a few pages of 11x17" paper loosely laid in the bottom corner to eliminate background edges. Box was illuminated using Nikon's creative lighting system (CLS) with SB-600 strobes on either side of the box aimed at the translucent material. Nice soft light from two directions.
This is my filter system mainly for graduated filters. They are used to reduce the brightness difference between the sky and the ground.
Additional I have some warming filters and a star filter.
OK Pringles, you owe me for this advert ;-)
Have added yet another lamp to my budget continuous lighting system. There are now 3 that can have Pringles tubes attached to them.
As I hope is clearly visable, the lights on either side have different types of reflector.
The one on the left, has just a window removed, which allows for a wide pool of light.
The one on the right, has flaps retained on each side of the opening, which allows the light to be directed more accurately.
Both of these are lighting the background of white card, which is approximately 10inches/25cm behind the subject, plus the light is alowed to spill onto a pair of screens containing white printer paper, placed between the lights and the subject, so that it is not entirely lit from behind.
To give a bit of a boost to the light on the background, a third light sits below the base, fitted with another pringles tube lined with white paper. This really helps to burn out the back edge of the glass surface, letting it blend with the background.
The base here is a sheet of glass, from a cheap picture frame and has its underside spray painted black to create a black mirror, allowing it to reflect the background behind.
Hopefully some of that made sense ;-)

Interstellar bureaucracy is a MESS. It's not like some pencil-pusher on the capital world is going to have eyes-on clearance, he's just spitting out designations for everything that crosses his desk.

Fairly sure this is the first 100-stud-plus model I've finished (antennae count, right?)
The HTS-30D Direct Mount Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System is designed for the rear of side-loader bay beverage trucks. We may be new... but we have earned the approval of company owners, fleet managers and route drivers from across the country. Just call and ask any of our HTS Ultra-Rack customers!
T. Verrastro Distributing Inc. has been an HTS-30D Ultra-Rack customer for over three (3) years and just recently equipped another beverage side-loader route truck.
There are 15 excellent reasons to outfit and equip your delivery fleet with an HTS Ultra-Rack! The three most important benefits are safety, route time and fuel savings. The Hand Truck Sentry System is a tested and proven solution that surpasses ancient designs, unsafe methods and costly storage locations. Make the right choice! Take your fleet into a new direction where the road is much safer, your drivers and cargo better protected, while you're saving green in your wallet and in our environment! The HTS Ultra-Rack is safer, faster and easier than any other hand truck retaining method available. HTS Systems designed the HTS using automotive parts and manufactures the safest and most advanced hand truck securing systems in the commercial delivery industry! The HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System is the most reliable and the best hand truck safety rack in the world! We guarantee that your route drivers will become very attached to the HTS Ultra-Rack in 2-3 days and their hand trucks in 2-3 seconds! Very Fast!
The HTS Tilt Mount Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry System offers many advantages over the older out-dated factory OEM hasp-bar and unsafe rubber strap carrier racks. The Hand Truck Sentry System eliminates the possibility of the driver leaving the hand truck miles behind; saving route time and fuel. The front OEM hasp-bar racks are not designed to accommodate hand truck models equipped with stair climbers or a nose plate extension. OEM hand truck racks allow hand trucks to tilt and lean outward and shift during vehicle movement. The Hand Truck Sentry System does not require padlocks to prevent theft or bungee cords to prevent leaning, vibration or movement. OEM and Aftermarket hand truck racks require two hands to off-load and reload the hand truck. You need only one hand to operate the HTS Ultra-Rack Hand Truck Sentry! Having an extra free hand to hold your paperwork or to allow the driver to firmly brace himself on slippery, ice or snow covered ground surfaces is extremely beneficial.
