Julia Margaret Cameron (11 de junio de 1815-26 de enero de 1879) fue una fotógrafa inglesa que se dedicó al retrato fotográfico de corte artístico, así como a la representación escenográfica de alegorías que la enmarcan en la corriente de la fotografía academicista.

Llegó a exponer en la Exposición Universal de 1870, y su obra fue reconocida póstumamente, junto a la de Lewis Carroll, gracias a su reivindicación por parte de los fotógrafos del pictorialismo, así como al apoyo del grupo literario de Bloomsbury y a su sobrina nieta Virginia Woolf.

Biografía
Nació en Garden Reach, Calcuta, como Julia Margaret Pattle, en el seno de una familia de diez hermanos, de padre (James Peter Pattle) escocés oficial en la Compañía Británica de las Indias Orientales y madre (Adeline Marie de l'Etang) descendiente de aristócratas franceses, el 11 de junio de 1815. Entre 1818 y 1834 estudió en París e Inglaterra. En la India conoce a su marido, Charles Hay Cameron, excelente jurista y dueño de una gran plantación de té, café y caucho en Ceilán (hoy Sri Lanka). Veinte años mayor que ella, le proporciona una vida más que desahogada. Tuvieron seis hijos y otros adoptados. Así en 1848 se mudan a Inglaterra y en 1860 se establecen en la isla de Wight con los Tennysons como vecinos, a los que fotografiará infinidad de veces. En 1863, su hija Julia y su yerno Charles Norman le regalaron una cámara de fotos (construida en madera con un objetivo de la marca Jamin), para paliar la soledad por la ausencia de su marido durante uno de sus viajes, Cameron tiene 48 años de edad y aquí comienza su carrera fotográfica. Cameron era una aristócrata ociosa que encaja perfectamente en la sociedad de la Inglaterra victoriana, y en ese contexto tener de afición la fotografía era bastante exclusivo. Al año siguiente de su regalo obtiene lo que ella llama "su primer logro, su primera fotografía". Ese mismo año es elegida miembro de la Sociedad Fotográfica de Londres y Escocia.

Hace un acuerdo con Colnaghi, que se ocupa de imprimir y vender fotografías y registra sus fotos en el Fine Arts Registres of the Public Record Office, (entre 1854 y 1875).
En 1864 expone en Colnaghi's de Londres. En 1866 expone en la Galería Francesa de Londres y gana la medalla de oro de Berlín. Se compra otra cámara de Placas de 12×15 cm, lente focal de 30 s, trabaja con aperturas abiertas y exposiciones de 3 a 7 minutos. En 1868 expone en la Galería Alemana de Londres y Charles Darwin la contrata para que realice sus retratos.

En 1873 muere de parto Julia Norman, su única hija. Al año siguiente empieza a escribir Annals of my glass house y realiza las fotografías para ilustrar las ediciones del poeta Tennyson del libro Idylls of the king and other poems con doce fotografías de Cameron. En 1875 produce la segunda parte del libro de poemas en el mismo formato que el anterior y se muda a Ceilán.
Muere en 1879 en este lugar, tras coger un enfriamiento del que no pudo reponerse.

Henry, uno de sus hijos, abrió un estudio fotográfico en Londres.

Obra

Se cree que Oscar Gustav Rejlander y Lewis Carroll la instruyeron en la fotografía, los dos fotógrafos fotografiaron a Cameron, su familia y su casa en la isla de Wight. En 1863 Rejlander fue a la isla de Wight a fotografiar al vecino Tennyson y parece ser que Cameron aprendió las técnicas básicas de él. También estaba en la isla C. Jabez Hughes que escribió que "cuando las mentes que buscan expresar ideas morales y belleza religiosa empleen el arte fotográfico, entonces podrán enorgullecerse de este arte e izarlo." Esta visión concuerda totalmente con la forma de ver la fotografía de Cameron. La literatura, el Renacimiento, la pintura pre-Rafaelista, con autores como Edward Burne-Jones o John Everett Millais) y la Biblia influenciaron su obra. En una carta dirigida a su amigo Sir John Herschel; Cameron le explicó su intención de alinear la fotografía con el arte, escribió: "mis aspiraciones son ennoblecer la fotografía y alzarla a la categoría de arte, combinando la realidad con la poesía y la belleza ideal". Creía que la fotografía era la forma para resucitar el arte sacro, para los victorianos el arte era una técnica, el arte fino era expresión pero no necesariamente ético, pero el arte alto era el arte sacro.

Por su posición social y económica, Cameron pudo mantenerse fiel a sus principios estéticos con más tenacidad que otros colegas. Transformó en su casa de campo el depósito de carbón en cuarto oscuro y el gallinero en estudio.

Cameron repetía las copias una y otra vez, hasta que se sentía satisfecha del resultado. Jamás retocaba o ampliaba sus negativos: sacaba copias de contacto de sus enormes placas húmedas. Trabajaba convertida en una ermitaña de su profesión, descuidada al vestir, sucia en su propio trabajo (sus negativos llevan manchas y huellas dactilares) y apasionada en sus creaciones.

Se trasladó a la isla de Wight con su familia para vivir cerca de su amigo el poeta Tennyson, allí organizó un verdadero cenáculo literario. La personalidad de Cameron es una mezcla de excentricidad, genio, instinto e inspiración. En sus retratos consigue captar la fuerza expresiva de sus modelos, con tanta maestría como podría hacerlo un pintor. Realizaba exposiciones de 7 segundos en placas de 30x40 cm. Su meta era reproducir la grandeza del hombre interior al mismo tiempo que los rasgos del hombre exterior, lográndolo, como se aprecia en su retrato del Sir John Herschel. Este es un típico retrato masculino de Cameron, el cuerpo es reducido a casi solo la cabeza, sin ningún tipo de referencia externa, la cabeza se convierte en un icono que implica inteligencia, individualismo y, por encima de todo, genialidad. En cambio sus retratos femeninos los trata de forma diferente, estos resaltan la belleza, el ideal de belleza del Renacimiento, a veces con ayuda de complementos, como las alas de la fotografía I Wait que evocan las pinturas de ángeles del Renacimiento.

Una de sus preocupaciones era realizar obras genuinas, captar la belleza ideal que emana del rostro de sus modelos. Sus retratos de primeros planos son en realidad primerísimos planos tal vez con una intención metafísica. Se ve en estos retratos de Cameron una clara influencia de una corriente de pensamiento muy de moda en la Inglaterra de la época que es la frenología, que sostiene que la inteligencia y el carácter de la persona está marcado en la forma de la cabeza, parece que en ello incide la obsesión por analizar los rostros, pero su intención última es profundizar hacia el interior.

Cameron también cultivó la fotografía alegórica academicista con obras como El beso de la paz de 1859, Ruega por nosotros, alegoría de la anunciación para el Ave María, o El aroma de los lirios, entre otras. Es esta producción la que la lleva a ser integrada en la corriente de la fotografía academicista.

Técnica

Los retratos de Cameron tienen un aspecto flou muy peculiar. Se cree que por azar descubrió una combinación de elementos técnicos que le dieron como resultado la falta de nitidez, lo que se convierte en su sello artístico, la búsqueda del efecto flou -un cierto desenfoque con intención. Es este aspecto flou lo que le da el carácter poético a sus fotografías. De ahí que sea considerada uno de los antecedentes del pictorialismo fotográfico de finales del siglo XIX.

Sus fotografías tienen algo de religioso, de pictorialismo cristiano, como las pinturas de Rafael. La historia sagrada se funde con la poesía, como en las fotografías de sus Madonnas, que transmiten la pureza, el niño durmiendo mientras su madre lo cuida...

Despreciaba la técnica, y por ello utilizaba objetivos inadecuados para las placas utilizadas. Le era indiferente que las placas resultaran manchadas o arañadas. Con todo ello pretendía la obtención de unos efectos que alejaran la realidad de las imágenes captadas. Las fotografías estaban realizadas con un objetivo que no cubría el formato de las placas húmedas utilizadas por ella (20x25 y 30x40 cm) y estaban descuidadas, con las placas manchadas o arañadas; por ello los miembros de la London Photographic Society no la admitieron entre ellos. Los fotógrafos la criticaban porque consideraban la calidad de sus fotografías mala, ya que no aprovechaba las ventajas técnicas de la cámara, como la nitidez, pero para ella primaba antes lo estético a lo técnico, buscaba más la expresión poética que la realista, expresión que conseguía sin duda y por la que ha pasado a la historia de la fotografía.

Rechazaba la idea de que la cámara era un objeto para documentar en vez de para crear arte.

Crítica
Los críticos de su tiempo la atacaron sistemáticamente por sus defectos técnicos, pero ella siguió su sistema revelando el espíritu y los rasgos de los hombres más eminentes de su tiempo.

Los detractores de Cameron asumen que el desenfoque de sus fotos no es deliberado, ese recurso estético, argumentan, es muy posterior a su época. Según estos, algunos de sus retratos están movidos a causa de las prolongadas exposiciones que tenía que soportar el modelo y, otras veces, el desenfoque se debe a los objetivos que utilizaba, inadecuados para captar el detalle.

Según otros críticos el desenfoque sí es deliberado, pues es cómo consigue ese aspecto poético en sus retratos. Muchas de sus fotografías están faltas de luz, ya que solo aplicaba una pobre iluminación cenital. Pero todos estos detalles constituyen el carácter de su obra. Nadie la habría convencido de que apartara un poco su cámara del rostro humano que tenía delante, su pasión acabó por convertirse en ese poético desenfoque que se admira en sus retratos.

Principales trabajos
Sus maestros fueron sus propios amigos: el poeta Carlyle y el pintor Watts, que había realizado soberbios retratos antes de dedicarse a sus obscuras alegorías. Watts vivía en Londres en casa de una hermana de Cameron, fue invitado por un par de semanas y se quedó 20 años allí. Estimulada por Watts, Cameron realizó algunas fotografías alegóricas y varias ilustraciones para la poesía de Tennyson y muchos retratos de Watts, Tennyson y la mujer de Watts, Ellen Terry.

Sus modelos servían para buscar personajes y sensaciones. Llegó a decirse de ella que contrataba a sus criados según sus cualidades fotogénicas, a los que martirizaba al parecer con larguísimas exposiciones y poses sofisticadas.

Sus retratos más famosos son de personajes ingleses conocidos como artistas, pertenecientes a su círculo de amistades, pero también tenía muchos de personas desconocidas, sobre todo mujeres. Los hay aislados y en grupos, como el conocido Retrato de verano hacia 1865, donde aparecen dos mujeres y niñas en pose deliberadamente artificial y con las miradas perdidas. Hay en esta obra un lirismo artificial ya que no busca el realismo o el naturalismo.

El gusto por la poesía, la formación religiosa y la pintura la llevaron a unir estas tres en sus fotos, creando fotografías de ambiente bíblico, como pinturas religiosas. Sus composiciones alegóricas con varios personajes, tienen un atractivo kitsch y revelan la influencia de su amigo el pintor victoriano George Frederick Watts. Cameron era una ávida creadora de álbumes fotográficos que luego regalaba a amigos y familiares. En 1875, en uno de sus excéntricos arrebatos, decidió volver a Oriente y establecerse en Ceilán, donde dos de sus hijos continuaban regentando sus plantaciones. Nadie pudo detenerla, como ocurría siempre que su voluntad se ponía en marcha. En la estación repartió varias fotografías de Tennyson y Carlyle a los maleteros, como propina. Una vez en Ceilán su afición a la fotografía disminuyó y murió en 1879, aunque realizó algunas fotografías de los indígenas de allí.

Autobiografía

En su autobiografía Annals of my glass house, publicada en 1874, Cameron nos relata su pasión por la fotografía: esta comienza con la cámara que le regaló su hija y así ella se determina a apresar la belleza con dicha cámara. Al principio nada sabe del manejo de esta, su primer retratado fue un granjero al que pagaba media corona por hora; después de muchas medias coronas gastadas en experimentar, obtuvo su primera fotografía "buena". Después del granjero probó con los niños, y su hijo, de vacaciones de Oxford, la ayudó con la dificultad del enfoque. A la mitad del proceso de conseguir una maravillosa fotografía, un niño rio y le hizo perder la toma de esta. Así que lo intentó con una sola niña, Annie, explicándole el despilfarro de químicos y esfuerzo malgastados si se movía, ya que necesitaba un tiempo de exposición muy largo. Fue así como consiguió su fotografía llamada My first success, (Mi primer éxito); la reveló y amplió en 11x9 y ningún premio posterior le hizo tan feliz como aquel día. En esta autobiografía Cameron nos habla del discutido desenfoque de sus fotografías, nos dice cómo esta primera imagen que tomó la marcó, tanto esta como las demás fotografías estaban un tanto desenfocadas, pero tenían un encanto especial, así que cuando empezaba a enfocar y llegaba a algo que para su ojo era bonito, paraba y lo fotografiaba en vez de continuar hasta el enfoque definitivo que los demás fotógrafos perseguían. Por lo tanto según ella el desenfoque sí era deliberado, pues era algo que ella buscaba.

Cameron nos relata cómo mandó sus fotografías a Escocia, fotos de la Madonna en mayo de 1865 a concurso, pero no ganó. Para estas fotos de la Madonna, Cameron retrató a su amiga Mary Hillier, una de sus más constantes modelos, y a las niñas Elizabeth y Kate Kuhn, hijas de un guarda de la isla de Wight. Vistió a Mary como a la Madonna de las pinturas renacentistas y pintó un halo alrededor de su cabeza directamente en el negativo para imbuir la escena de una sensación sacra. Después las envió a Berlín, la ciudad de la fotografía artística, según ella, y se le premió con una medalla de bronce y al año siguiente con la medalla de oro; el instituto Hartley le premió a su vez con una medalla de plata.

La simpatía personal de sus amigos y familiares la ayudaron en todo momento, su marido miraba todas y cada una de las fotografías con satisfacción y tomó por costumbre ir corriendo a enseñarle cada cristal, pues usaba la técnica del colodión húmedo, a su marido, que las acogía con entusiasmo.

En este libro también nos relata cómo fotografiaba a sus amigos, convirtiéndolos en personajes, como cuando fotografió a su amigo Sir Henry Taylor convirtiéndole en el fraile Lawrence, para la fotografía Friar Lawrence and Juliet, o en Próspero, el duque milanés de La Tempestad de Shakespeare en la fotografía Prospero and Miranda, como el rey Lear, etc. O cuando lo fotografiaba en un retrato imitando al profeta Jeremías del pintor Masaccio en su cuadro El tributo del césar, aquí se ve claro la influencia de la pintura pre-Rafaelista, la pintura religiosa italiana en Cameron, tanto que reproducía pinturas con personas reales, retratándolas en vez de pintándolas, pero guardando ese toque pictórico y poético. Nos habla de cuando fotografiaba a su querido amigo Sir Jonh Herschel, del cual realizó varios retratos. También fotografió a su amigo Alfred Tennyson, con quien colaboró ilustrando sus poemas.

Una de sus modelos preferidas fue Julia Jackson, su sobrina, que más tarde sería Mrs Herbert Duckworth y la madre de la famosa escritora Virginia Woolf.

It has been many years now that Tubularsock was wandering Europe. But all of this Naziesque crap being directed by OrangeTurd and his trusty companion BibleThumper Jeff has brought back a long forgotten conversation.
Tubularsock was driving through Germany with a trusted friend. We were taking the "slow" way through the German hinterland and was driving through the Black Forest area with no real destination in mind.
The evergreen forests and picturesque villages were right out of a "living" traveler guidebook. An amazing area of Germany to visit especially if you are a meandering traveler.
It was there, sitting in the car at a pullout that our conversation began. If we had been German citizens during the rise of Hitler and if we had been living in this area of German, just how knowledgeable would we have been about Auschwitz in Poland and what was happening in Germany at large as well?
As the hate and fear was propagated that "others" were not worthy of our concern just how shutdown to this oncoming evil would we have grokked?
Tubularsock has many German friends that have stated that their parent's generation, after the war, would NOT EVEN discuss this subject or explain how they had been duped by Hitler and his hate filled belief system. The shame was too great and they didn't want to explain their role of even being citizens in that mess.
Jump to Jeff Session interpreting the Bible, Romans 13 suggesting that God supports the government in separating immigrant parents from their children.
And it looks to Tubularsock that Jeff has as much knowledge as Tubularsock has about Biblical interpretation when Tubularsock interprets Isaiah 11:6 ". . . the leopard will lie down with the goat . . ." to mean that Jeff Sessions fucks goats!
Now, Tubularsock may not be the best Biblical scholar, however, it just goes to show you that Jeff too is rather selective at cherry picking passages of the Bible for his own political purposes. Shame on you Jeff, you old goat fucker!
And then we have Plastic Melania in her "I Don't Care, Do U" coat going off to see the children in jail to bestow her "motherly love" with her magic wand.
Leaving Barron home alone with his unstable Orange-"father".
Poor, Poor Barron, assumed to have been born from a turkey baster impregnation so Plastic Mom didn't have to have that gross Fat-Orange-Body thrusting and panting attempting to get a hard on to do the job.
FREE BARRON!, FREE BARRON!, FREE BARRON!
Wow, speaking of child molestation! Can you imagine having to be trapped in a "family" with Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric!
Tiffany is not so bad.
But leave it to Peter Fonda to hit the nail on the head with his tweet calling for Barron to be ". . . ripped from his mother's arms and put in a cage with pedophiles."
Of course, Peter apologized later saying he had been upset over Trump's Policy and he had ". . . tweeted something highly inappropriate and vulgar about the president and his family in response to the devastating images I was seeing on television."
OH CONTRAIR!
The pedophile part WAS a little bit over the top but at least the cage would help protect Barron from Plastic-mom, Orange-dad, and the evil Munchkins!
But unlike the children stolen from their parents at the border Plastic-mom had the U.S. Secret Service notified. Some kids warrant special attention.
So Plastic-I-Don't-Care wanted to see for herself what was happening to the imprisoned children of Latin American descent so, if you can believe this, she was sent to a facility opened to the first lady which was, of course, selected keeping in mind the press would be accompanying her.
"Other such facilities around the country have denied access to Democratic lawmakers and media".
You know, like any good DEMOCRATIC society would do. Prevent Congress from representing the people they are supposed to represent and be the eyes of the people. Republicans are prevented as well. You know, to keep it fair.
Well, it sure fooled Plastic I-Don't-Care!
Tubularsock is sure that everyone was on best behavior for the Plastic-Lady! She thanked everyone for a job well done and then got into her jet and flew back to Washington, D.C.
She left with her parting words that the U.S. should "govern with heart"!
And Tubularsock agrees and just maybe it has come time to pull that used heart of Dick Cheney and plant it into Donald. That heart never seemed to work for Cheney anyway.
The Nazi mind set is running again and the American public can be awakened to the possible further destruction of what is left of American Values which weren't that strong to begin with or we can watch the edges of the toilet bowl as we all swirl down into the depth of the Black Forest never to be seen again.
It actually is up to US!
Trump has embarrassed the United States of America in the World and as his Scottish-born mother's relatives have stated: "His Mother had been acutely embarrassed by the antics of her fourth child during the 1990s when his failing marriage and business were the subject of intense tabloid scrutiny.
Mary Trump died in 2000, but if his mother was upset with his crap in the 1990's she must be turning over in her grave NOW!
And as for dear daddy, Fred C. Trump with his German ancestry as a nap-sack was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan riot in New York in 1927, records reveal. He died in 1999.
Need Tubularsock say more? The racist apple hasn't fallen far from the tree, now has it!
A TUBULARSOCK EXCLUSIVE: NEWS BEFORE IT HAPPENS!

A TUBULARSOCK EXCLUSIVE:
NEWS BEFORE IT HAPPENS!
Ok as usual, Tubularsock has an insider's perspective into the current administration being that as Secretary of the Deplorables Tubularsock is on the "right" side of the right government policies of The Super-Bigly Great Orange One!
Rumor has it that Tubularsock has positioned himself in the current West Wing of the White House in the boiler-room where he has control of the heating and cooling of the building. Being the ONLY member of the current administration that knows the secret codes for the indoor environment of the White House puts Tubularsock in an enviable power position.
So when it was reviled by the New York Signs, a hostile progressive publication, that the
Secretary of the Deplorables had been subpoenaed by Robert Mueller much anticipation was anticipated. And as that anticipated anticipation grew the left-stream-press concluded that Russia was involved!
As Tubularsock, ". . . first hand coverage, second hand news", a non-biased news outlet has reported through an official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to speak to the media, that Russia may have a relationship with the Secretary of the Deplorables but this was denied by the administration.
However it was noted by a former Secret Service agent who did not wish to be identified that some ties with the Russian Government may be true. Some documentation was procured from this individual as seen below.
"I hasten to point out that in no sense do I claim the ideas I am submitting are a real thing. They constitute a theory, not a thesis", stated the former Secret Service agent.
But an American official familiar with the talks with Mueller, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly stated, "some pictures are really worth a thousand words".
Yet the investigation conducted by the sharp-eyed-reporters from Tubularsock, ". . . first hand coverage, second hand news", a non-biased news outlet has produced an actual photograph that may add some light to the Trump-Tube Russian connection.
Now sure Felix Sater has Russian connections! Hell, he's Russian!
When asked, Tubularsock, Trump's Secretary of the Deplorables, stated, "Felix Sater is a Russian-American gangster of the old school. You know, a classical American tradition type Eliot Ness gangster. It is this solid American criminal tradition that our President believes in …… make America Great again!"
Felix Sater has deep financial connections to Trump and to Russia. Felix Sater has been a friend of Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen since childhood, and is an important Trump business partner who worked out of Trump Tower.
But funny, when Donald was asked about his connections with Felix, Trump said, "I'm not that familiar with him."
Which would be expected for Trump to say especially after his associate Felix Sater, described his ambitions in emails to Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen.
In those emails Sater states, "Our boy can become president of the USA and we can engineer it. I will get all of Putins team to buy in on this, I will manage this process." (New York Times … for real!)
So we all have, so far, three possible Russian connections with Trump.
The first is the meeting in Trump Tower between Russian agents and Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner.
The second connection is the attempt by Republican operative Peter W. Smith to obtain Hillary Clinton's emails through Russian hackers. According to The Wall Street Journal "Robert Mueller is investigating Michael Flynn's connection to this operation".
And the third connection is Felix Sater.
Looks like a full plate.
But in truth the Russian connection is there but it is mostly bullshit. The real deal is going to be the evidence that is being collected on financial crimes, including potential money laundering that is where Donald and his family are going to go down!
SHHH. THE SECRET SERVICE.

Well Saints Be Praised! Ok, maybe not Saints as Tubularsock comes to think about it.
Just what has Saints done for Tubularsock lately ……. can't think of a thing!
Saints don't really seem much good if you look at it. They are all dead for starters. That in itself is a downer. They usually are made of stone and they stand on pedestals. Usually OVER you ……… fuck that!
Tubularsock has always thought he'd make a great Saint. He's stoned for starters and then …….. well, like heaven dude. What a fucking great job. And with a title, Saint Tube!
Ok. Let's get grounded ………
And what better way than to enter fantasy land.
The Secret Service wants to spend $8 million dollars to build a replica of the White House and the White House grounds so as to have a training site that is a "more realistic environment, conducive to scenario-based training exercises," according to Joseph Clancy, the director of the Secret Service.
Where in the fuck is Walt Disney when we need him? No really, Pirates of the Caribbean via the White House! That seems to fit!
Now this idea has all come about because the Secret Service has fucked up in its role of protecting the President and his family that something has to be done to show that they care about holding on to their jobs!
Now Joe states that, "Right now, we train on a parking lot, basically. We put up a makeshift fence and walk off the distance between the fence at the White House and the actual house itself. We don't have the bushes, we don't have the fountains, we don't get a realistic look at the White House."
No really, they don't get a realistic look at the White House. That is important!
"It's important to have a true replica of the White House so we can do a better job of integrated training between our uniform division officers, our agents and our tactical teams," Joe informs us.
Now really, $8 million?
How about paying a little more to the uniform division to stay awake on the job. Tubularsock for $8 million could find competent people to stand guard at every fucking door at the White House 24/7/365!
Training? A fucking guy jumps the fence, runs across the fucking lawn that is longer than a football field opens an unlocked FRONT door of the residence enters the East Room and starts to run up the stairs before anyone notices?
And having an $8 million fake White House will provide better training than LOCKING THE FUCKING FRONT DOOR?
Excuse Tubularsock, "where's my bong?"
Ahh, refreshed again ………….
Now after the latest "home invasion" of the White House the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Jeh Johnson appointed a panel of security EXPERTS and being experts they recommended that immediately A HIGHER FENCE was in order. Hey guys, WE are paying these fuckers. Wow, A HIGHER FENCE. Now that is expert thinking!
And on top of that these EXPERTS posed that "problems exposed by recent events go deeper than a new fence can fix." No shit Dick Tracy!
But rather than concluding that the Secret Service should 1. stay awake, 2. lock the door, and 3. heighten the fence these experts recommended that employees train "in conditions that replicate the physical environment in which they will operate."
The conclusion: an $8 million Disneyland White House!
But that is not all! The Secret Service budget request includes
funds to renovate a "live-fire shoot house" and to repair and enhance a "tactical
village" training site that aims to recreate a city street environment.
Now just what could go wrong with that idea?
But like always Joseph Clancy, the director of the Secret Service and Jeh Johnson, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security missed a key point when it comes to "conditions that replicate the physical environment in which they (the Secret Service) will operate."
Tubularsock recommends that an additional $10 million be appropriated to build an exact replica of a Colombian brothel, and a Florida brothel, and a Washington, D.C. brothel so as to ". . . replicate the physical environment in which they (the Secret Service) will operate." For some reason the Secret Service seem to have an enlarged libedo and a lot of time on their hands.
Tubularsock just likes to get down to real.
And what is REAL?
If the Secret Service uniformed division officers, agents and tactical teams would tend to their job of protecting the White House and the President and his family and just STOP FUCKING AROUND the "problem" would be solved.
Tubularsock would hire "greeters" from Walmart to protect the White House. Damn, everyone is afraid of old fucks! And let the Saints go marching in. Amen.

CHENEY KICK-START: an idea whose time has come ………..

CHENEY KICK-START: an idea whose time has come ……….
Tubularsock has never been a big fan of rendition but understands its legal necessity. Extraordinary rendition is beyond the pale of decency and outside the bounds of acceptable behavior if there is to be a belief in the rule of law.
Simple rendition in law is a term which means "handing over" of a person or property from one jurisdiction to another. This is all completed under due process and is handled through the courts with warrants and is an open and legal process.
But extraordinary rendition is a different kettle of fish.
Extraordinary rendition falls into the extrajudicial category. This is when a government sponsors an abduction of a person and transfers that person from one country to another. It is not legal and it is a violation of laws of the United States and international laws and agreements.
Bush and the boys and Condo made it popular but old Alzheimer-demented Reagan did it and "distinctly-marked-penes" Bill Clinton also engaged in the practice as well.
Obomber uses it too but with reduced frequency, so it is said, but none the less it is still being used.
And to Tubularsock's new way of thinking …….. thank goodness!
Here is the plan:
Tubularsock will find a country that will support a WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL that will prosecute DICK CHENEY for war crimes for torture.
Dick will be our test case ……….. a pilot program if you will.
Tubularsock will start a Kickstarter Campaign in order to raise the money needed to hire a team of underhanded-slimy-criminal-minded individuals to gag and put a black bag over Dick Cheney's head and bind him with standard ACE hardware duct tape (to keep the cost down) and throw him in a trunk and slip him off to the country that has agreed to conduct the WAR CRIMES TRIBUNAL.
Tubularsock figures ……. say a $15 million Kickstarter Campaign. That will include the pre-operational expenses such as Tubularsock flying to Zurich to purchase a Gucci Bag to cover Dick's head. Tubularsock believes in a class-act Extraordinary rendition so a regular plebeian bag for this dastardly deed will not cut it!
And for you penny-pinching followers may Tubularsock remind you of the financial savings that has already been exhibited by use of ACE hardware duct tape!
The pre-operational expenses also includes the WANTED FOR WAR CRIMES posters that will need to be printed. (as shown above) Hey, sure 100% post-consumer recycled paper is more expensive and so is using soy based ink. Do remember we are trying to improve the earth here not just bring war criminals to justice.
Another cost factor that has got to be addressed within the pre-operational expenses is the prepayment of the whores and booze necessary to ply the Secret Service. So as to be able grab Dick. (excuse the expression)
Dick Cheney is so well hated that he has additional Secret Service Protection as well as Private Contracted Security.
The Secret Service Detail can easily be distracted with a couple of bottles of booze and a hot prostitute which has been shown time and again.
The Private Contracted Security will have to be killed! Now don't get squeamish now. Every Extraordinary rendition has collateral damage, so get over it!
Now some are going to say that by starting a Kickstarter Campaign to raise $15 million will attract the attention of the authorities.
Not so! You forget that the FBI is so busy setting up mental-disabled Muslims with fake explosives and guns so as to be captured as terrorists within the United States that they have no time to review every Kickstarter Campaign.
And the CIA is likewise so busy running guns and drugs that they'll believe it is one of their own operations and before they wake up to the fact that it isn't ….. we'll have Dick in an undisclosed location.
Now just to relieve any trepidation on your part about being identified as "co-conspirators" you can also contribute to Tubularsock's Extraordinary rendition project more directly.

SKT released a statement and said that the decision to exclude Huawei from its list of 5G vendors was based primarily on a combination of financial and technological factors. SK Telecom is also the first operator in the country to announce its 5G suppliers.
KT is yet to name its suppliers, while LG Uplus (which uses 4G equipment from Huawei), is expected to select the Chinese vendor as one of its 5G network equipment providers. Both SKT and KT deployed 4G LTE equipment from Samsung, Ericsson and Nokia.
The exclusion is yet another significant blow for Huawei which is still reeling from the decision by the Australian government to ban them from participating in the rollout of its 5G networks in the country. The Chinese vendor was deemed a threat to national security by Australian officials and along with domestic rival ZTE was prohibited from bidding on 5G contracts.
India has excluded both vendors from its 5G trials, which has sparked fears that it will be excluded from the rollout of 5G networks in that country, whilst Japan is also weighing up whether or not to include the vendor in its 5G plans.
South Korea is a major ally of the United States, who has launched a sustained offensive against both Huawei and ZTE over the last number of months. Sanctions imposed by the US pushed ZTE to the brink of closure.
Officials in Japan responsible for cybersecurity in the government's Cabinet Office are reportedly conducting a study to determine if additional regulations are needed to reduce security risks from using network equipment from Chinese companies.
With pressure from Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT for the operators to collaborate on 5G technology to meet a previously agreed timeline for commercial operations in March 2019, the three companies announced in July plans to work together to launch 5G networks at the same time in 2019.

Antonio Darden has staged the kind of protest only a man with scissors can.
At least three times, the gay salon owner has cut the hair of New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who sports wispy bangs and a highlighted, layered bob. But Martinez, a Republican, opposes gay marriage, an issue that has made all sorts of headlines lately.
Seven states and the District of Columbia recognize gay marriage. New Mexico is not among them. Martinez has indicated that she wouldn't support a domestic partnership law either, although the state provides domestic partner benefits to its employees.
So Darden decided to use the only sway he had.
Darden, who runs Antonio's Hair Studio in Santa Fe, has been with his partner for 15 years.
The story did not include a response from Martinez, whom social conservatives recently lambasted for appointing an openly gay man to the state's Public Regulation Commission, according to nmpolitics.net.
If the comments on the KOB-TV website are any indication, Darden's protest set off quite the kerfuffle.
"This is not a news story. This is another smear hit on Gov. Martinez," one commenter said.

Realme X will launch on May 15; Might have pop-up selfie camera
The Realme is set to announce a new flagship called the Realme X on May 15, 2019 in China.
While the Philippines will be getting the Realme 3 Pro on that date, the company will also unveil its newest flagship, the Realme X, on the same day in Beijing, China. The phone is said to come with a pop-up selfie camera and an almost bezel-less, notchless display.
According to reports, there are going to be at least two versions of the phone — the Realme X and the Realme X Youth Edition (Realme Lite in some markets).
Realme X and Realme X Youth Edition
Unfortunately, we don't know what the Realme X would look like. There are speculations, though, that it might resemble the OPPO F11 Pro. A recent teaser video from Realme featured a phone with a pop-up selfie camera. And since they are an OPPO subsidiary, it's reasonable to think that that could be the one.
Rumored specs have the Realme X packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, a 48MP rear camera, and a notchless display. The Realme X Youth Edition, on the other hand, could have specs similar to the Realme 3 Pro, which means Snapdragon 710 (or possibly the 730) and dual cameras.
In any case, we'll find out on May 15. We'll keep you posted.
Thank you for your time. To stay up-to-date with technology and Internet news, please follow us on Facebook (TechnoBaboy), Twitter (@technobaboy), and Instagram (technobryan).

This is the lunch Nathan "cooked" me today in his play kitchen. It's a stew consisting of a muffin, a waffle, a hotdog, and an orange slice. He also served me a plate of french fries, a red pepper, and I believe that's a red chili, complete with a cup of milk. Well at least the milk will mitigate the heartburn! This will be quite an interesting meal for sure! I love that boy.

Baba Brinkman was planting trees in British Columbia when he stumbled on his own blueprint for survival. Afforestation was his job when he was 19 and an academic career in literature was ostensibly his future. If only he could stop the hip-hop in his head long enough to think up a thesis topic.
"I had just started writing raps so I was thinking about how I could make an artistic impact even though I'm white and suburban and nerdy," he explains. The light-bulb moment was when he realised that Jay-Z's motivation and methodology was essentially identical to William Shakespeare's.
Hip-hop evolution: Baba Brinkman's The Rap Canterbury Tales is a twist on Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th-century work.
"I thought if I can prove that, in terms of analysing the social context of where Shakespeare came from, and show that rap is really the same thing occurring in a different cultural context, not only would that give me something cool to write about in my thesis, it would also give me a vein to mine as an artist."
Some 15 years and one million trees later, Canada's first "lit-rap" artist has proven himself on all fronts. He gratefully recalls The Age's five-star review of his 2007 show, The Rap Canterbury Tales : an erudite sampling of Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th-century masterwork reimagined as a boast battle on a hip-hop tour bus.
His return next week brings an adaptation of a more modern and much more incendiary classic. For The Rap Guide to Evolution, Brinkman uses hip-hop not only as the vehicle for Charles Darwin's studies but as a living illustration.
"Evolution is the reason why there is a connection between Shakespeare and rappers," he says. "It's because of the evolved similarities in human psychology that people end up expressing similar cultural dynamics in similar cultural contexts.
"The social context of Chaucer was this upwardly mobile underclass at court using their poetic talents to try get recognition from the aristocracy to transcend their low-birth circumstances."
The jester's hat fits Eminem and Kanye West pretty well, Brinkman says, even if mass communication and politics have transformed the size and shape of the court. His argument goes further, too, analysing a variety of hip-hop behaviour patterns in parallel with other species of animal.
"Once you understand that there are evolutionary dynamics behind [hip-hop artists'] behaviour, then the closest analogous behaviour might be found in a species that is very far removed from us biogenetically," he says. "Bling is more like a peacock's tail than any manifestation of any primate."
Whether or not they dig hip-hop, it's not hard for evolutionists to make this kind of leap of faith. Brinkman's Rap Guide was in fact suggested and "peer-reviewed" for accuracy by a scientist - Warwick University Microbial Genomics professor Dr Mark Pallen - who had appreciated his earlier literary adaptations.
Philosophical alignment with the likes of Darwin, Richard Dawkins and David Sloan Wilson, however, has naturally brought Brinkman his share of dissent among creationists. The occasional "heated debate" at the after-show merch table in Mississippi, Alabama and Texas has only sealed his conviction about the power of hip-hop to engage on levels the average gangsta never dreamt of.
While Brinkman may not share the lofty social status of Emenim or Jay-Z, his own 10 indie albums have made him a living adequate to raise a family on a literary diet as highly evolved as his own. His "hippy dad", he says, claims to have planted the seeds for his son's future livelihood by reading him William Blake as a baby.
"Many people have been advocating rap in education for a while," Brinkman says. He cites a project in New York schools called the Science Genius Battle, in which students verbally challenge each other with rhyming streams of information under the auspices of the Wu-Tung Clan's GZA.
"Personally, if I have to write a rap about sexual selection theory or out of Africa theory or common descent, I'm thinking of lyrics that sound cool but then I'm like 'OK, is that true or not?' " Brinkman says. "Then I have to go and look it up because you don't want to make a fool of yourself. So it's great impetus to understand the subject."
Brinkman will unveil his next project, The Rap Guide to Religion, at this year's Edinburgh Festival in August. Either by accident or intelligent design, he appears to be evolving into the role his tree-hugging father decreed when he nicknamed him Baba - "an Indian designation for a teacher of meditation and enlightenment" - at birth.
"Yeah, I've found a way to make [my name] respectable," he says. "And secularised."
"I've always seen myself as a troubadour, first and foremost. That's my social niche: as the court poet of old. But that goes even further back to the Homeric oral poets and the griots in Africa. That's the modern role of the rapper, even if they don't necessarily think of themselves in that way."

Für Win7 x86 hab ich mal die Liste ausprobiert. Folgende KBs sollten entfernt werden, da die Installation fehlschägt.
Bei manueller Installation kommt die Fehlermeldung: "Update ist nicht für ihren Computer geeignet"
Welche Windows 7 Edition (Starter, Home Premium, ...)?
KB2529073,KB2541014,KB2813956 & KB2836502 where downloaded because windows updates wanted to download them. also there are certain circumstances that these will install. I've seen these fail but no infinite loop.
KB2685813, KB2685811. I already know about these, they were originally in the list but would never install. the file names are UMDF1.11.msu and KMDF1.11.msu. I may use the KB number instead of these file names.
KB2952664 unable to download. Only available with windows updates.

New York's Energy Transition (and Challenges) in 5 Charts
From carbon pricing to offshore wind to huge transmission projects, New York's grid operator has its work cut out.
Jeff St. John June 10, 2020
New York is struggling to connect its upstate clean energy bounty with downstate power demand.
Grid operators around the world are unusually busy these days, but few have quite as much on their minds as NYISO, the independent system operator that manages New York state's bulk power system and wholesale energy market.
New York state's zero-carbon energy goals will require new transmission to carry upstate wind and hydro to downstate markets, plus a wave of new batteries and other balancing agents to balance the state's increasingly intermittent renewable mix. The state is pushing to electrify its vehicles and buildings and will roll out a carbon-pricing regime to encourage development of clean resources where they're most valuable.
NYISO's Power Trends 2020 report released Wednesday highlights the challenges and opportunities for a grid in flux.
Last year's Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) calls for getting 70 percent of the state's electricity from renewables by 2030, up from 26.8 percent in 2018, and hitting 100 percent zero-carbon emissions by 2040. That leaves a massive gap to be filled by clean energy, since more than half of the state's carbon-free emissions today come from nuclear power, as shown in the chart below.
Source: NYISO
To fill this gap, NYISO is working toward growing transmission capacity for its ample upstate hydropower and wind power resources to reach New York City and downstate population centers, which will also be served by the 9 gigawatts of offshore wind the state is seeking by 2035. Solar power will play an increasingly important role, including both utility-scale and behind-the-meter solar, which is set to grow from about 2 gigawatts today to 6 gigawatts by 2025 under the CLCPA.
But the amount of energy generated by intermittent wind and solar doesn't equate to capacity during times of peak demand, which NYISO is responsible for securing across the state. New York's mandate for 3 gigawatts of energy storage by 2030 will play a vital role in storing and discharging wind and solar energy to match demand, much of it targeted for downstate, according to the following snapshot of interconnection requests.
"We look at this as a grid in transition," NYISO CEO Rich Dewey said in a Wednesday press conference. "We're looking not only at how we maintain reliability of the system as the grid radically changes, but how we provide the right investment signals" to match resources to where they're needed most.
NYISO's carbon-pricing plan, which still requires approval by state regulators and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, is, according to Dewey, "the most effective way to do that as quickly...and as cost-effectively as possible." Adding a yet-to-be-determined societal cost-of-carbon price into every energy market transaction "will lead to more rapid deployment of more carbon-free resources, and with the location signal that's so valuable" to encourage development "not only when we need them, but where we need them."
That's particularly valuable for encouraging renewables, energy storage, demand response and energy efficiency that can serve to replace the fossil fuels that supply the majority of energy and capacity for downstate New York. Only 29 percent of downstate's resources are zero-carbon, and most of that comes from nuclear power plants, including the Indian Point reactors that are set to close in the coming years.
Upstate New York, by contrast, already gets 88 percent of its electricity from zero-carbon resources, mostly hydropower but also significant amounts of onshore wind power. NYISO has been pushing for increased transmission to carry upstate clean energy to New York City and the surrounding area to capture the lower cost of rural-sited renewable projects and reduce curtailment of wind power for lack of available transmission capacity, which has been growing in recent years, as the following chart shows.
"We think that's going to continue to be a bigger and bigger problem…unless we upgrade the transmission infrastructure," Dewey said.
"Certainly the AC transmission project that's going through siting right now will help a great deal," adding about 1 gigawatt of capacity between the two regions if it's able to receive final siting approvals and be completed on schedule by 2023.
Larger-scale transmission projects aimed at carrying Canadian hydropower and wind power downstate, such as the $2.2 billion Champlain Hudson Power Express project, are far less certain but could also prove valuable, he said.
The COVID-19 pandemic has lowered commercial and industrial energy demand this year and led NYISO to revise its 2020 and 2021 energy consumption forecasts downward. But in the longer term, demand is expected to grow significantly as New York seeks to shift transportation and building heating from fossil fuels to electricity.
Just how much that demand will grow depends greatly on how electric vehicle charging is managed, NYISO Executive Vice President Emilie Nelson said on Wednesday's call. "The time [at which] those vehicles are charged will impact both the peak times on our system and the total load on the system," as the divergent forecasts of load through 2050 indicate, as shown in the following figures.
Other factors influencing these forecasts include how much energy efficiency the state is able to achieve, how quickly building electrification takes hold, and how much behind-the-meter solar comes online over the decades to come.
These forms of distributed energy resources aren't a traditional focus for grid operators including NYISO, Dewey said. But, he added, "we need to look into the future and model what this system is going to look like 20, 30, 40 years in the future."

WHERE YOU AT, TRAVELIN' MAN? I've found my way to Sociable Cider Werks in Minneapolis.
AND WHAT HAVE YOU IN YOUR GRIMY PAW? I've got their Spoke Wrench.
BIKE REPAIR? I THOUGHT BICYCLES WERE MURDER ON YOUR GROIN. No, I'm not doing bike repair. I'm drinking.
OH OF COURSE. SO WHAT IS IT? It's the love child of a cider and a stout.
MADNESS! Yes. The website says that it's made with "a blend of the Midwest's best apples and a hearty stout brewers wort that we then ferment using a traditional English ale yeast." And it rolls in at 6.8% ABV.
HOW DOES IT TASTE? The nose is all tart apple. Autumn, perhaps? The flavor is apple, a little molasses, and some roasty malt.
INTRIGUING. WHERE CAN I FIND IT? Only in the Twin Cities, from the looks of it. There's the tap room, of course, and a selection of area bars and restaurants. If you're not in the area, you're SOL.
DAMN. GOOD THING YOU FOUND IT. Yep. Thankfully, I took the flyer from the Realtor™, otherwise I never would've found this place. Continuing the MPLS theme, there's a sweet patio, a food truck, some foosball, and a pétanque court. If you like ciders like I do, I highly recommend this place.


Paul Beverley has been editor of Archive magazine for some decades now, as well as an Acorn dealer (Norwich Computer Services) in the 1980's and 1990's. So he has a unique insight into the whole RISC OS market, how it has changed over time and some insight into how it might change in the future.
I saw an earlier version of this talk at the Essex Acorn User Group in 1999 or so, and I found it a fascinating account of the rise and fall of different technological approaches. Woven through it all is Paul's own odyssey - why is he now only editing magazines, not selling computers?
1999 is a long time ago. Five years later, Paul's charts of RISC OS processor power are sure to have been updated, and there is a lot to talk about. Even five years ago, Paul's talks prompted a great deal of heart-felt discussion, I have no doubt it will be even more interesting today.


From April 31st to the 14th of May, GlobalFire team members provided capacity building support to the Government of Jamaica's fire service in the form of training in both Hazardous Materials Response and Fire Cause determination as well as the delivery and dissemination of approximately $150,000 CDN worth of fire equipment. Training took place in the nation's capital Kingston and additionally in the historic port town of Falmouth in the parish of Trelawny near Montego Bay in the island's west end. In total 22 students graduated the Hazardous Materials Response course, adding 25% capacity to the island's response capabilities, and 25 students graduated the Fire Cause Determination course.
Both courses lasted 4 days and included both a didactic portion and a hands on practical component to cement ideas learned in class. In addition GlobalFire was able to create practical local solutions to response protocols for the Haz-Mat program which will be implemented island wide. With limited specific resources we were able to use already available equipment on board all JFB apparatus such as tarps and fire hose to create an emergency decon system that evolves into a 2 pond technical decon corridor with very little work. This equipment, if it cannot be decontaminated at the end of the event, can be lost to the organization with a huge cost impact. Trucks can be put back into service almost immediately.
The Fire Cause Determination course is particularly important as the JFB is suffering from loss of faith by the public due to repetitive findings of "undetermined" as it relates to fire cause. Every news report has streams of angry citizens questioning the capabilities of the Brigade which impacts all aspects of brigade business from acceptance of fire safety messages to public support during budget proceedings. The improvement of the professional image of the organization even impacts recruitment efforts.
As for the equipment donation delivery portion of the capacity building mission there are 3 key components to report on. The 100 sets of bunker gear donated by Muskoka Lakes will be utilized by the new recruits being hired. This allows for the students to actually take part in live fire fighting drills as well as become comfortable with wearing the gear at all calls, something that doesn't normally occur as bunker gear, due to its cost, is assigned following completion of all training before recruit is assigned to their station. 232 fire textbooks were donated by the Ontario Fire Marshal Resource Centre in Gravenhurst at the Fire College which were warmly received and will be utilized by the Training Department to create a library of books which can be checked out by any and all members of the JFB. The 3rd point is one on a personal note. During a previous training mission in 2008 GlobalFire Team Lead Greg Law had made a promise to secure and deliver a smoke machine which was to be used by the Fire Prevention Division in the public education endeavours for the teaching of school children in evacuation drills. We are happy to report it is in use today.


Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson will be praying Wilfried Zaha's pointless 6,400 mile return trip to the Ivory Coast has not retarded his recovery from a hamstring strain.
The Eagles want their totemic attacker back for tomorrow's vital home game against Huddersfield Town and Wednesday's visit to Spurs for the inaugural Premier League match at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Zaha missed Crystal Palace's FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Watford before the international break because of the injury, but was still called up by his country.
Palace will be far from happy that Ivory Coast officials insisted on Zaha travelling to have his injury assessed. The club were in constant contact with the 26-year-old Eagles star and medical staff in west Africa while he was away.
He sat in the stands for the Elephants' Africa Cup of Nations clash with Rwanda and also missed Tuesday's friendly with Liberia – the apparent highlight of an otherwise fruitless trip being the chance to pose for pictures with Chelsea and Ivory Coast legend Didier Drogba.
Hodgson is also waiting to see whether right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is available for the visit of the Terriers at the weekend. He withdrew from U21 duty for England, with an unspecified injury, ahead of their game against Germany on Tuesday night.
Hodgson is eager for Zaha to return quickly to help the Eagles in their fight against relegation, but said: "You never know with hamstring injuries. You have to be very, very careful, especially with players as explosive as Wilf. He felt it after the Brighton game and didn't train during the week [leading up to the Watford game].
Saturday's match could see a first competitive return to South London for Karlan Grant since his January move from Charlton.
The 21-year-old striker, born in Greenwich, has already played in the capital for Huddersfield since he made his switch, however, having turned out for his new club in defeats at Chelsea and West Ham.
Grant scored twice against the Hammers and is already the Terriers' joint-top scorer.

Draymond Green to meet with Warriors tonight
By Jake Montero :: SFBay June 30, 2015
As NBA Free agency approaches — the signing period begins on the west coast at 9 p.m. tonight — here are a few updates on the Warriors free agent situations:
Draymond Green – Green is a restricted free agent, and as reported by Yahoo! Sports' Marc Spears, the Warriors will meet with him at 9:01 p.m. Tuesday evening in an effort to get a deal done before another suitor can make an offer.
Because Green is restricted, the Warriors would have the opportunity to match any offer from another team, but would rather get a deal done with Green on their own terms.
Golden State can offer Green the most money, a five-year deal worth $90.7 million, while other teams can offer a max offer sheet of four years, $67.3 million, per the collective bargaining agreement. The most he can make next year is somewhere around $15.8 million, from the Warriors or anybody else.
The Warriors team payroll currently sits at approximately $83.4 million, well over next year's projected salary cap figure of $67.1 million and the projected luxury tax threshold of $81.6 million.
Should Golden State sign Green to a max offer sheet of $15.8 million next year, they would be obligated to just under $100 million in player contracts. That figure would put them nearly $20 million over the luxury tax threshold, meaning they would have to pay an additional $3.25 for every dollar over the threshold, according to last year's tax level figures. All this amounts to a possible salary hit of more than $150 million for next year's team, more than double of what Lacob and Co. paid this year's championship squad.
The huge caveat is David Lee and his $15.4 million cap hit, and whether the Warriors can move him off the books completely or partially, by trading for cheaper expiring contracts.
Either way, Golden State is likely to be over the luxury tax threshold next year if they re-sign Green, meaning signing him for even a few million under the max could seriously help the Warriors payroll situation. Whether Green is willing to take a slight pay cut to help the organization remains to be seen. After all, the star power forward has made less than $2.6 million in his entire three-year career.
Marreese Speights – The Warriors picked up their team option on Speights, and will pay him just over $3.8 million next year before he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Justin Holiday – The San Francisco Chronicle's Rusty Simmons is reporting that the Warriors did not extend a qualifying offer worth $1.147 million to Holiday, making him an unrestricted free agent. The Warriors could still resign Holiday at any price. The Sacramento Kings are reportedly interested.
Ognjen Kuzmic – Simmons reports the Warriors extended a qualifying offer at the same price to Kuzmic. The third-year center is a restricted free agent.

Philae Temple was named "Apo" in ancient Egypt which means "Ivory". It was built on a rocky island in the middle of River Nile 12Km south of Aswan. It was dedicated to the goddess "Isis", the wife of "Osiris" and mother of "Horus" who were also mentioned on the walls of the temple with Isis. It's the last classical Egyptian style temple which was built on the New Kingdom style.
When was Philae Temple Built?
Construction started around 690 B.C during the reign of Ptolemy II, other Ptolemaic kings added more works to the Temple, not only Ptolemaic who added to the temple also rulers from the Pharaonic period up to the Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods added their own stamp on the temple.
How was the Temple Saved?
Philae temple was lost under water after construction of Aswan High Dam in 1960, Egyptian government with UNESCO rescued the temple and transfer it to the new island called Egilica and reshaped it to be close to Philae island. The temple is considered one of the best locations to visit during Nile cruises.
What is Philae Temple Consists of?
The temple consists of two pylons, the first Pylon that holds the Kiosk of Nectanebo is 18m high with references to PtolemyXII smiting his enemies. In the second pylon, the doorway is 32m in wide and 12m in high, it's decorated with Euergetes II. In the inner temple, there are eight vestibules, lead to the number of antechambers and the Sanctuary house of Isis.
Philae Temple is one of the most famous Egypt tourist attractions, where a lot of tourists prefer to visit it and discover the great civilization of Egyptians in this historical monument, so if you desire to explore Egypt, then check our Egypt private tour packages and choose your trip.

The DataSet class in ADO.Net operates in an entirely disconnected nature, while DataReader is a connection oriented service.
DataSet is an in-memory representation of a collection of Database objects including related tables, constraints, and relationships among the tables. It provides a consistent relational programming model with multiple data sources from different areas. We can say that the DataSet is a small database because it stores the schema and data in the application memory area. Dataset is used to hold tables with data. You can select data form tables, create views based on table and ask child rows over relations. Also DataSet provides you with rich features like saving data as XML and loading XML data.
DataReader is designed to retrieve a read-only, forward-only stream of data from data sources. DataReader has a connection oriented nature, whenever you want fetch the data from database that you must have a connection. It's usually the most efficient way to deal with records when you don't need any random access. It fetches one row at a time so very less network cost when compare to DataSet. Results are returned as the query executes, and are stored in the network buffer on the client until you request them using the Read method of the DataReader. DataReader is readonly so we can't do any transaction on them. It will be the best choice where we need to show the data to the user which requires no transaction.
The biggest drawbacks of DataSet is speed because it is a high resource consuming process. It carrying considerable overhead because of related tables, constraints, and relationships among the tables. If you need forward only access to query results then DataReader is the best choice because in this scenario it is fastest way to go.

America's scariest tows
I know a lot of people who aren't comfortable with towing a trailer. My wife is among them. I have stopped trying to convince them that they can tow, because I'm not sure if everyone really can. Towing successfully takes a certain amount of skill, confidence, and perhaps natural ability. Just as it is true that not everyone can drive a race car well, I think it may be true that not everyone is cut out to pull a trailer.
For me it has been an enjoyable challenge to learn the skills. I actually like piloting my big trailer around, and things like backing up and maneuvering on narrow roads are sort of fun, most of the time.
So I was amused to see Forbes Magazine publish a list of "America's Scariest Drives." There are eleven listed. In my opinion, several of them aren't particularly scary except perhaps in the mind of a travel writer. Not only have we driven many of them, we've towed our 30-foot Airstream down three of them (I-15 in Los Angeles, Rt 50 in Nevada, and coastal Rt 1 in California), and didn't find the experiences particularly frightening.
Let me tell you, there are much scarier roads if you are towing a trailer. Most of them are in Colorado, where steep mountain passes are almost unavoidable. Imagine a 8% grade winding up to 10,000 feet for miles, while the thin air robs your engine of power and the temperature gauges on your transmission and engine slowly creep up toward the redline. This is usually followed by a similar descent, shock-cooling the engine while the brakes heat up and begin to fade.
We've done several of these roads in Colorado, including the notorious Slumgullion Pass on Rt 149, but by far the worst one (psychologically) was Rt 550 between Durango and Silverton. It includes three tough passes and miles of twisting roads atop terrifying precipices. You can't help but think, "One slip and we're going to fall a thousand feet." Often, there's no guardrail. We did it in the fog and a light rain, too.
Steeper than those is the Teton Pass between Jackson Hole WY and Victor ID. It runs at 10% grade for five miles up and five miles down. Climbing this hill with the trailer on a warm day was the only time we ever managed to overheat our engine, in three years of full-time towing. On the way down, you'd better have good trailer brakes.
For sheer heat, however, nothing beats Rt 190 from Death Valley to Owens Lake in the summer. We drove it in late May once, and we were lucky that it was a slightly cooler-than-average day. The road climbs 5000 feet, and ambient temperatures can easily exceed 110 degrees. No matter how tough you think your turbodiesel truck is, this is a road to respect in the summertime.
Traffic terror is mostly found in the northeast. Sure, I-15 in Los Angeles can be hairy, but it's got nothing on I-95 in southern Connecticut during rush hour. Imagine fifty miles of S-curving highway crammed with maniac commuters, riddled with potholes and steel plates, rife with exits and entrances, and about as smooth as a New York-style pizza. You can't go slower than traffic no matter how bad the road conditions, so expect to find things askew inside the trailer later, and keep your foot ready for a panic stop at all times.
Frankly, compared to any of those experiences, I would look forward to a quiet uncrowded drive on Rt 50 in Nevada. It's a pleasure by comparison, and (honestly) it's not nearly as lonely as the tourism folks would have you think. And coastal Route 1 in California? Gorgeous and worth the effort.
I think I'm going to save the Forbes article for future trip planning. Some of those "scary" roads look pretty interesting. We bypassed the Moki Dugway on our September trip through Indian Country, but I'd like to give it a try. What some people regard as scary might just be the highlight of the drive.
Written by RichLuhr · Categorized: Airstream
Rich, we live near I-15 near Cajon (deadliest Interstate in America), and we've towed our trailer through route 129 (Dragon's Tail).
If you to put a gun to my head, and told me I had to drive on one of them, I'd probably take route 129.
Hey watch the comments about turbodiesel trucks!
Charon says
I've done the I-95 through Connecticut many, many times with just my truck. I can't even IMAGINE towing through there that hour of the day …
This all sounds like the basis or a great AL article, though, don't you think? We'd clip it and save it!
Ohhhhh…. we second what you say here about I-95 in Conn! Good Lord that is the worst.
We currently live on Hwy 1 in Cali so I am unimpressed by the concept of it as one of the scariest roads in America. It's scary if you are prone to becoming car sick… but other than that it is an amazing thing to drive it! Just don't think you are getting anywhere in a hurry! Lol!
I loved Hwy 50 through Nevada. I really dig places that feel a million miles from nowhere.
Bobby says
I agree with the general opinion on I-95 through CT. Man, I wish I was towing on one of those "scary" western roads right now. While those Colorado passes require some care, the real danger is being distracted by the incredible views. We avoided the Durango-Silverton route in favor of the road past Telluride (Rt. 145). The passes were easier, but the scenery was still fantastic.
Clarke Hockwald says
We drove Nevada's HWY 50 east to west last June, and loved every mile of it (here's a youtube video I made of the drive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1npDLQrmsA&feature=channel_page) . Amazing to only see a few cars per day. I've driven HWY 1 in California in a car, a 26′ Class C motorhome, and a 36′ Class A motorhome. Not scary to me. I can see why I-15 from Cajon Pass to Las Vegas is dangerous…..a lot of traffic, but I've gotten used to it.
You forgot the road Duel was filmed on.
Another nomination — any of Chicago's spaghetti Interstate on a Sunday afternoon two hours before contests involving football (Bears) and basketball (Bulls) or some other combination (Cubs, Blackhawks) of their four pro sports teams.
We thought we smoked this out carefully and were going to zip right through one Sunday afternoon. Chicago took three hours on a Sunday, and was just awful trying to pick out the correct ramps to stay on our route.
Okay, we have added a few more algorithms to our criteria for crossing any major city. And some cities we will avoid entirely. Like Chicago.

We drove the Moki Dugway in our SUV. Can't imagine pulling our 28′ Airstream over this road!
We just came back from a trip over to Ocean Cove, about 16 miles up Highway 1, north of Jenner. That was a little tense being it was only our second time out, but we did just fine!

I have pulled a 30ft trailer up the Moki Dugway in Feb 2009, and it is a great drive.
