The Corsair : SMC's Emeritus College student photo exhibit
Faye Crosswhite, Staff Writer
May 8, 2012
Filed under Arts & Entertainment
Iris Malinsky hadn?t taken pictures in over a decade, ?I had always loved to play around with film and work in the darkroom,? she said. ?But when digital cameras came out, they just didn?t interest me. I?m kind of a purist at heart.?
This remained the case until Malinsky was introduced to Adobe Photoshop classes at Emeritus College, and her love of photography was reborn.
A recent showing on May 3 at Emeritus was the culmination of a two-part gallery exhibition, and was judged in four categories: People, Places, Things and Photoshop. Malinsky took home third place for her Photoshop piece, ?Untitled Shakers.?
Emeritus College was founded in 1975, and offers an array of free classes to the local senior community. The college?s name stems from a Latin phrase that means, ?retired with honor.?
The college, which is a continuing education subsidiary of Santa Monica College, offers Digital Photography and Photoshop classes, taught by Gerald Schneir, Ken Buckner, and Hanne Espinosa-Frech.
?It?s truly amazing what some people can do who have never really had any experience with a camera before,? Schneir said of his students.
While many of the photographs on display were traditional in theme, others had been heavily manipulated with the use of Photoshop, showcasing the students? proficiency with the software.
Isaac Yusim?s impressive capture of a Spanish-themed bullfight took first in the ?place? category, while Tahereh Sheikholislam?s photograph of pink tulips in bloom garnered a blue ribbon for ?thing.?
Unlike SMC?s annual photography show, Emeritus holds smaller exhibitions a few times throughout the year, giving students multiple opportunities to submit their work.
Becky Koblick, volunteer and curator of the Emeritus College Gallery, was glowing with pride over the work on display. ?It?s kind of an ongoing process,? she explained. ?We split the show into two parts, and the turnout has been great.?
The Juried Student Photography Show will run until May 31 in the Emeritus College Gallery at 1227 Second Street in Santa Monica. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Miley Cyrus Tweets Love for Total Bomb of a Movie
LOL, the coming-of-age drama starring Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore, opened in limited release this weekend. And we mean VERY limited release:
The movie played in seven cities across the country. Total. As a result, it earned about 1/1,000,000,000th of what The Avengers brought in: $46,500.
Still, Miley has taken to Twitter and expressed gratitude for the dozen or so folks who did shell out their hard-earned money for this unfortunate flop.
"Thank u so much for everyone who went to see LOL," Cyrus Tweeted on Monday. "It is a film I loved making and I am proud of.... That's really all that matters to me."
As for what the future holds for Cyrus at the box office? Analyst Len Klady isn't optimistic. He tells Yahoo:
"Miley Cyrus has a real image problem. Basically she's been undone by Saturday Night Live... people don't take her seriously."
And that's, like, totally not cool for Miley and her team. But it might bode well for fans of this star's music. The more flops she makes, the more likely it is that Cyrus wll return to the album scene.

CineSkates go mini, still harnessing the power of smooth
You remember CineSkates, right? They're the camera tripod that looks like a Gorillapod that's just discovered the miracle of rollerblading. It's got a little sibling now -- the miniSkates Video Dolly, a rollable mount that works with phones and cameras that weigh up to 1.5 pounds. The minis are available for $150 as a complete set (Gorillapod included) or $95 for just the skates. Check out the smooth video after the break.

Homes MSP Real Estate Blog: How is your deck attached to the ...
May is National Deck Safety Month, so I'm going to start off this month by writing about the most common cause of deck collapses - improper attachment to building. ?Most decks are supported on one side by the building, and on the opposite side by the earth. ?The photo below shows a deck collapse that happened here in Minnesota, and this is exactly how most decks collapse. ?The cause of collapse is quite obvious - it wasn't attached properly.
Is your deck properly attached to the building? ?It's not always possible to know for sure, but today I'll discuss a few different ways of attaching a deck to a building. ?The piece of wood that connects a deck to a building is called the?ledger, or ledger board. ?I'll be using this term repeatedly.
Lag Screws
Traditionally, lag screws have been the most common method of attaching decks to buildings. ?To properly attach a deck ledger using 1/2" lag screws, 5/16" holes need to be pre-drilled through the ledger and rim joist. ?After that, a 1/2" hole should be drilled through the ledger?only. ??For specific spacing and installation instructions, you can turn to page 12 of the?Prescriptive Residential Wood Deck Construction Guide. ? There's no way of knowing if all of these steps were followed just by looking at a deck, but if lag screws are visible, you can feel a little better about the deck attachment to the building.
One problem that I occasionally find with lag screws is that they're not attached to anything substantial behind the ledger. ?When a home is constructed with floor trusses and there is no rim joist for the deck to attach to, it's important to figure out what the screws are going in to. ?In the photos below, the lag screws at this Eden Prairie townhouse were only attached to the fiberboard wall sheathing, which is basically worthless. ?You wouldn't want to put too many people on that deck.
Lag screws are fairly inexpensive, but they take special steps to install correctly.
Special Ledger Screws
Because of the tedious process involved in drilling several pilot holes in the wood to use lag screws, there are a few products available that are designed for the specific purpose of attaching a deck ledger to a building. ?One such fastener is the FastenMaster?LedgerLok?, which is pictured above. ?Simpson Strong-Tie?makes a similar fastener, called the?Strong-Drive? SDS Screw. ?These fasteners are designed to be installed without any pilot holes, and they already come with a washer attached to each head.
While these fasteners may cost a little more, they're fast and easy to install, and they're code approved to be used in place of 1/2" lag screws.
Through-Bolts
?
Through-bolts can be used to attach a ledger to the house when the interior of the rim joist is accessible. ?This is typically done using carriage bolts, pictured above. ? When through-bolts are used, you'll either see the head of the bolt or the end of the bolt at the ledger. ?Lag bolts work in a similar manner.
All things being equal, a through bolt makes for the strongest connection per fastener. ?Without all things being equal, there are certainly ways of installing through-bolts improperly. ?In the examples below, taken at a townhouse in Edina, you can see the end of the bolt where a washer and nut were fastened. ?The problem with this installation is that someone didn't have long enough bolts, so they had to chisel out a bunch of holes in the ledger to sink the washers and nuts in to.
This is probably the least common method of deck attachment because it takes more time, and requires more running in and out of the building.
Nailed Ledgers
Nails are not an acceptable way of attaching a ledger to the building, because they can pull out. ?I don't have any statistics to quote, but this is probably the most common cause of deck collapses. ?If you look at a deck ledger and all you can see are nails holding it in place, it should be addressed. ?This is one of the most common deck problems that home inspectors find, and the repair is usually an easy fix.
