Bodies are seen on the shoreline of Utoya island, near Oslo, where officials say a gunman killed at least 80 people. Witnesses said the gunman was wearing a police uniform, and was tall, light-haired and spoke fluent Norwegian. (Associated Press / July 22, 2011)
Reporting from London—
A horrific shooting rampage at a youth summer camp left at least 80 people dead as Norway reeled from apparently related terrorist attacks in a nation long known as the home of the Nobel Peace Prize.
In addition to the shooting at a youth camp attended by hundreds on the island of Utoya, a massive bomb exploded in downtown Oslo, killing seven and injuring dozens.
Police director Oystein Maeland told reporters early Saturday they had discovered many more victims after initially reporting the death toll at 10, the Associated Press reported.
Maeland couldn't say how many people were injured in the shooting.
The summer camp on Utoya, about 19 miles from Oslo, was organized by the youth wing of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg's Labor Party.
According to the Associated Press, a suspect in the shootings and the Oslo explosion was arrested. Though police did not release his name, Norwegian national broadcaster NRK identified him as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik and said police searched his Oslo apartment overnight. NRK and other Norwegian media posted pictures of the blond, blue-eyed Norwegian.
National police chief Sveinung Sponheim told public broadcaster NRK that the suspected gunman's Internet postings "suggest that he has some political traits directed toward the right, and anti-Muslim views, but if that was a motivation for the actual act remains to be seen."
Earlier, speculation had swirled around both Islamic militant groups and domestic right-wing extremists. Al Qaeda previously has singled out Norway as a target, and a shadowy group affiliated with the terrorist network reportedly claimed responsibility, a statement that could not be verified.
But another police official said the suspect appears to have acted alone in both attacks, and that "it seems like that this is not linked to any international terrorist organizations at all." The official spoke on condition of anonymity because that information had not been officially released by Norway's police.
"It seems it's not Islamic-terror related," the official said. "This seems like a madman's work."
The official said the attack "is probably more Norway's Oklahoma City than it is Norway's World Trade Center." Domestic terrorists carried out the 1995 attack on a federal building in Oklahoma City, while foreign terrorists were responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Friday's double attacks, which police said were linked, recalled the dramatic 2008 siege on a hotel and other sites in Mumbai, India, that raised international fear of coordinated, sophisticated attacks on "soft" targets unprepared for a large-scale assault.
The rampage on Utoya, a small, heavily wooded island not far from Oslo, was a particularly harsh blow. A youth convention of the ruling Labor Party, the biggest political event of the summer, was underway there. Hundreds of young people, some of them teenagers, were in attendance.
Authorities witnesses described the assailant as a man dressed in a police uniform. The suspect, a 32-year-old Norwegian, was arrested on Utoya. Police later found undetonated explosives on the island.
The prime minister's office was heavily damaged by the bomb blast in Oslo, which killed seven people. Norwegian news reports said that Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg was working at another location and was unharmed. In a nationally televised address, he urged his compatriots not to be overcome by fear.
But the shock and scars from the violence will probably run deep in the normally placid, close-knit Scandinavian nation of about 5 million people. Authorities closed Norway's borders shortly after the attacks.
"Norway will stand together in a time of crisis," Stoltenberg said.
Addressing the attackers, he said: "You will not destroy our democracy and our ideals for a better world.... No one will bomb us into silence; no one will shoot us into silence."
At the White House, President Obama sent his condolences to Oslo and called for stronger global cooperation to combat terrorism.

I Want to Believe
During the summer of 2010 I had a chance to spend a long weekend in the Crescent city and the surrounding area doing occasional hikes to magnificent redwood forests. On Sun morning when we were already heading back home we left our hotel in Eureka early to catch the last remnants of morning fog. We headed south to "The Lady Bird Johnson Grove" trail (http://www.redwoodhikes.com/RNP/LBJ.html). Not only was the hike in itself easy and spectacular stroll within red woods, but stumbled during those early hours by the redwoods covered in fog, beyond which a large open field opened. As sun started to shine to the field, I rushed to set up my tripod and the camera to capture what could as well have been the alien space ship landing behind the edge of the forest. :) Only a few minutes later sun had burned through all the fog and all that was left of this most captivating scene were redwood tree trunks in front of the dull, large field.

From slipcovers to stripes, these fast and easy makeover ideas refresh any room in a flash.
1. Try Reversible Pillows
Double-sided pillows are a quick and easy change. "You have your summer pattern, then flip them to the other side, to velvet — something richer — for winter," says designer Jesse Carrier. He and his wife, designer Mara Miller, chose them for the sofas in the living room of this 19th-century farmhouse in upstate New York. You can also try doing a combination of both, as they did here.

2. Sew Handkerchief-Style Curtains
For a relaxed, breezy look, try making curtains similar to the ones that Carrier and Miller created for this dining room. Hang pre-hemmed shawls, tablecloths, or even pillowcases on hooks from one corner of the window. Or recycle old curtains: Simply measure and cut them into squares, adding buttonholes in the corners. "Just take one of the corners off, and it drops," Miller explains.

3. Paint Horizontal Stripes
"Stripes have an amazing power to instantly transform a room," says designer Ken Fulk of the giant Breton stripe he chose for the guest room of a San Francisco Victorian. Tip: To keep the room from feeling too severe, loosen up the geometric lines with softer accessories. The curvy spots on the furry stools and rug add balance.

4. Paint Framework Black
To make the great room in a South Carolina vacation home feel more intimate, designer Sally Markham applied a coat of black paint to the window mullions and door and chair frames. "Black gives the room a backbone, and it acts as a frame to the view," she says.

5. Frame Artwork Identically
Using matching frames is a clever way to bring together different types of artwork, Fulk explains, who did that in the home's dining room. "Sometimes we take pieces that clients own but don’t look like they belong together, pop them out of the frames they're in, and put them in unifying frames so they speak to one another," he says.

6. Give Slipcovers a Shot
Slipcovers are a simple way to update traditional furniture. "Even though the ikat polka dot is totally graphic, it gives your eyes a break from the Windsor-ness of the spindles and lines," explains designer Lindsay Reid, who used them in her Southern California kitchen. Fabricadabra's Cheeky charcoal ikat actually makes them "look younger," she says.

There is no pretense around the Mets now about playing out the season with Carlos Beltran.
The adults in the organization know there is no baseball miracle coming with the Mets just 11⁄2 games out of last place. Instead, team officials speak in the same tones and codes now about Beltran that they did in the recent past about Francisco Rodriguez.
Which is to say resigned to his departure. The key decision-makers have been informed to brace for life without their third-place hitter in the same way they were told — just before K-Rod’s exit — to get ready to live without their closer. The intensity of interest is such, in fact, that some Mets officials are feeling a trade could get done well before the July 31 deadline.
The Phillies and Red Sox were described as the most aggressive pursuers, a person involved in the talks told The Post. That confirmed what Foxsports.com first reported. The Braves, Giants, Indians and Pirates were portrayed as the next strongest suitors. The Rangers had limited interest and outside executives anticipate the Reds making a big move before the July 31 deadline, but two AL executives said they see Cincinnati as the main player for Colorado ace Ubaldo Jimenez.
The Mets have been somewhat surprised by Detroit’s disinterest. The Yanks and Mets last talked about Beltran just before the Mets traded K-Rod to the Brewers, so unless there are drastic changes, the Yanks are not suitors.
The Mets sense such strong interest that they have begun to believe they will not have to pay a significant amount of the roughly $6 million Beltran is still owed to get a good return. And Beltran did nothing but enhance his value last night. He returned from three games missed to the flu to go 3-for-3 with two doubles and two walks in a 4-2 victory over the Cardinals.
He showed with his impact and the respect he got by being pitched around in a couple of at-bats what an acquiring team could expect — but also what the Mets will lose for the rest of the season.
Mets GM Sandy Alderson would not directly discuss Beltran, but did say about his overall philosophy these days, “The next three or four years are more important than the next three or four months.”
If you need that translated, it means Alderson knows that even with Beltran and Jose Reyes back last night and David Wright due Friday that is not enough to change the trajectory of the 2011 Mets from .500-ish wannabes to October threats.
Thus, the Mets rightfully are looking to maximize Beltran. For example, Alderson said, “it is another consideration to take into account” when asked if he would deal a top player within his own division. “But,” he added, “it is not a prohibition.” So the Phillies and Braves definitely are being considered.
Alderson wants to speed up the restocking of a very mundane farm system by selling high on the best hitter available in an offensively challenged season. So he simply will not put up restrictions such as refusing to trade within the division or prioritizing the Mets’ 2011 won-lost record.
But that does not make the team’s record inconsequential. The Mets have tried hard to rebuild collateral with a disillusioned fan base by playing better than anticipated, especially through a few debilitating injuries. Although trading K-Rod and Beltran is necessary, the Mets do not want to tank the final two months; limping into the offseason as a last-place, 74-win team that refunds a chunk of the goodwill earned to this point.
“I do worry about that,” Terry Collins conceded.
Alderson said playing well the rest of the way — regardless of who is traded — is vital to continue to “change the perception” of the Mets from a lost franchise to one heading in the right direction in both strategy in the front office and energy on the field.
However, with K-Rod already gone and Beltran on the launching pad to a contender, the degree of difficulty is about to magnify on even a dignified 81-81-type season.
“No matter who is on the roster,” Collins said, “I want the fans on Oct. 1 to say they can’t wait until next year.”

Ryan Miller was the most valuable player at the Olympic tournament, where he won a silver medal for Team USA. He's one of the best hockey players America has ever produced. He's making $6.25 million this year for the NHL's Buffalo Sabres. His team is in first place. He's dating an actress. And if you asked him, he'd probably be happier if we shut up right now.
"What can I say?" Mr. Miller said during an interview on a press tour Monday, where he said all the attention has been a bit surreal. "I'm from the Midwest, and everything was always about keeping a low profile."
Ryan Miller on the Role of a Goalie
4:52
Buffalo Sabres and U.S. Olympic team goalie Ryan Miller talks to WSJ's Matthew futterman about the role of the goalie, and that fateful shot from Sidney Crosby that garnered Canada the gold.
Here's one of the most persistent quirks of hockey: To be great, a team needs a superhuman goaltender with freakish reflexes. But to be a superhuman goaltender, it helps to be the kind of person who's comfortable working behind a mask while loaded down with 50 pounds of padding.
Tending goal not only means taking the occasional hard rubber disc to the face at 100 miles per hour. It also means subjecting yourself to almost certain failure most nights.
Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils, who's widely considered the greatest goalie in history, has allowed nearly 2,700 goals in 1,236 games.
As a result, great goalies are rarely placed in the same stratosphere of publicity and celebrity as highflying goal scorers like the Pittsburgh Penguins' Sidney Crosby or the great Wayne Gretzky. While the goalies may be the most impactful players in any game, only seven of the top 50 sweaters sold on NHLshop.com belong to goaltenders.

Ryan Miller during a Sabres game against the Washington Capitals in December.
Brian Jennings, vice president for integrated marketing for the NHL, said the goofy painted masks and robot costumes can be an impediment to stardom. "They become more well known through their artwork," Mr. Jennings said.
Former New York Rangers goaltender Mike Richter says the goalie mask isn't exactly a ticket to fame and fortune.
"If your goal is to sell Chiclets or make hamburger commercials then it's going to be a problem," he said. "But I really wouldn't suggest playing without one."
Mr. Miller is now the most famous face among the young core of American players who will be favored to win a medal at the Sochi Olympics in 2014.
While he made 139 saves during the Vancouver Olympics, he'll most likely be remembered for the one he didn't make—Mr. Crosby's overtime shot that delivered the gold medal to Canada.
Mr. Miller, who is 29 years old, said the seconds leading up to the shot keep playing through his mind.
He remembers watching Mr. Crosby emerge from the corner with the puck and thinking that the renowned scorer was going to take a moment to gather himself and make a move.

Joe Fornabaio for The Wall Street Journal
Mr. Miller with his silver medal.
As a result, Mr. Miller said he stepped up and prepared to challenge Mr. Crosby, to take control of the play the way he had done through the entire tournament. Only as he did, Mr. Crosby fired the puck toward the net and beat Mr. Miller through the legs before he'd even realized that a shot was coming. Gold medal, Canada.
"I made my decision and it went into the net," Mr. Miller said succinctly. After the game was over, Mr. Miller was curt in a postgame interview.
This outcome showed the sort of automatic responsibility for all bad results that makes goaltending a humbling job.
"When your goalie plays well, he's the last person who takes full responsibility; that's where the buck stops," said Lou Lamoriello, president and general manager of the Devils. "It's unfortunate that sometimes when things don't go right they take the blame."
Ken Dryden, a Hall-of-Fame goalie for the Montreal Canadiens who is now a member of the Canadian parliament, said the position demands a character who, from a young age, is comfortable with staying behind his team and watching and analyzing the action rather than forcing dramatic things to happen.
"You have to be absolutely reliable," Mr. Dryden said. "You have to be disciplined. You have to be responsible. You have to have a lot of understated qualities. You have to decide that there is something more important than you are. You have to be willing to play that way. You can't grab attention by the lapel and insist on it. You're going to get it sometimes and not get it other times. The game is going to come to you and you've got to be willing to accept that. There are not that many people who are really talented who are willing to accept that."

Reflection
This an image from the archives, I did try and get out for a sunrise shoot on the weekend but the conditions were pretty crazy on Sunday morning which meant the poor camera didn't even get taken out of the bag :(
This was taken over at La Perouse back in March and I completly overlooked this shot when processing originally.
I have decided to try and work on my B&W seascapes because I am not happy with my efforts so far. Please know that any criticism is more than welcome as I am constantly looking to improve :)

Notre Dame
Pokouet se o vkendu dostat do nkter ze slavnch paskch atrakc je velk zkouka trplivosti. Kdy jsem poprv vidl frontu ped Notre Dame, tak jsem nvtvu rovnou odloil a slavnou katedrlu si prohldl alespo zven. Park, kter je zezadu byl nakonec o hodn pjemnj msto ne nmst ped katedrlou a navc tam lo fotit i bez toho, aby se do kadho zbru nkdo pipletl.
Trying to get to any of the more famous Parisian attractions during the weekend is a great test of your patience. When I first saw the queue in front of Notre Dame, I immediately postponed the whist and at least looked at the famous cathedral from the outside. The park that is behind the cathedral was in the end much more pleasant than the place in front of it and it was even possible to make photos without people constantly walking into the frame.
