FORT INDIANTOWN GAP, Pa. -- Survivor Outreach Services support coordinator Martin Rafalko and director of Deployment Cycle Support Lt. Col. Laura McHugh receive the coin of a fallen airman that was found at the Palmyra Bowling Alley by manager Ernie Hickenheiser. After nearly a month of research, the owner of the coin was located and it is being returned.
Depicted on the coin is Staff Sgt. Matt Kuglics, a 25-year-old special agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations Anti-Terrorism Specialty Team. He was killed June 5, 2007, in Kirkuk, Iraq, from an improvised explosive device. He was survived by a mother, father and a sister.
Through the return of this coin, Kuglics' family was finally made aware of the Survivor Outreach Services Program which can put them in touch with other survivors and provide other similar services.

I was shooting some products for my wife and found that I had left one of my umbrella swivel brackets at home. Luckily, I had my full bag of lighting gear and was able to fashion one using a magic arm and two superclamps. Sure, the umbrella was limited to horizontal - but at least everything was solidly mounted and it worked well enough for the job.
Greenscreen not available in project - but this method did work quite succesfully

We are no longer in contact with any individuals pictured, in this album and the pupils will now be adults. If you recognise anyone or are in these photos, please send me a flickrmail, and of course comments will be very welcome. I will also be happy to remove any photo, that you are recognisable in, if you are not happy to be included. I have decided to share these photos because of their historical value in the the use of digital media and technology in schools.
First time developing film since Sandy. The angry old gal took out my Jobo. Bummer. The only thing left other than the tanks and reels was the lift arm (that wasn't really in great shape) and an extra set of rollers. I puled the rollers off the lift arm, bought a length of 3/8" round stock and fashioned the manual roller base. The film is drying now.
"Ventabren is a pretty village, perched at the top of a hill and dominated by the ruins of the Château of Queen Jeanne.
It offers a splendid view of the Berre lagoon, Martigues, the Caronte gap and the Vitrolles chain."

....what a boat!! Loved the mood this boat added to the entire beach. Its not shiny, its not colourful, its not state of the art by any stretch - but its human ingenuity at its best!!! At times, the smallest things make such a difference!
Melanie Louise Wells Bain, graduate student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, May 17, 2007, for AP. I had 10 minutes to come up with this.
Chloe punched this hole in one of her notebooks to get a better look at how the eclipse messes with shadows.

I had another one of those aha!! moments that is almost embarrasing because it was so long coming. As I've written recently I'm not using air conditioning as a part of my effort to reduce my personal impact on the climate. I'm also living in a cabin which is not completely finished on the inside. The ceiling is finished and well insulated with a ceiling fan installed. I've still got two walls that need the electrical wiring finished, insulation on two walls still to be installed and then pine bead board for all of the inside walls.
Much of my cabin is shaded at various times of day but it does get hit with a good bit of direct sun. About half of the east facing side gets full sun from about 9am to noon. I made it a point to insulate about half of this wall a few weeks back but a good bit of heat still makes it through. I would have done the whole wall but I have a good bit of temporary shelving nailed up to the other half and it is fully stocked with food so I stopped at the half way point.
Three weeks ago Greg brought down a truck load of used 2x4, 2x6, and 2x8 wood to be re-used for a variety of future projects. We stacked it into a neat pile where it has been sitting ever since. Meanwhile I've been working, observing and thinking about the design elements of the site and future projects. I decided very early on that I'd be putting a series of eight or so raised rain collection barrels along the back/east side of the cabin and that I'd put a lattice or similar structure on it for some sort of perennial fruit vine or an annual bean/squash vine to provide food and shade. I may also plant a couple fruit trees back there. But those projects won't be completed until early spring of next year.
Now, for that aha! moment. It's hot and humid outside. I'm hot. My dog is hot. My unfinished walls are getting direct sunlight and heating up outside and inside. Why not lean all those neatly stacked boards up against the east side of my cabin? So simple and obvious!! In ten minutes I've provided a solid wall of deep shade that should easily give me another hour or two of inside coolness. I'll be doing the same thing along the south side of the cabin which gets direct sun from about 3pm to 5pm.
Greg will be back down around the third weekend of August and we'll get the inside walls finished off but I'll be leaving those boards up until they no longer get the direct sun or until outside temperatures cool down, probably the middle of September.
It always amazes me how many people do not shade their houses with trees, bushes or vines. I suppose that the combination of cheap energy, air conditioning and fairly well insulated homes combined make it easy for folks to ignore or not realize just how much direct sunlight on exterior walls can heat a home. As energy becomes increasingly expensive and eventually as shortages occur I expect these details will become more important to more people.
