Your cycling holiday starts in Amsterdam, one of the crown-jewels of Europe. With so much to see and do, you couldn't wish for a more vibrant way to kick off your holiday. If you arrive early, make sure to go for a walk to marvel at the townhouses in the 17th-century canal district (listed as World Heritage). Have you got time and energy left? Opt to saunter down the infamous red-light district which attracts millions of curious tourists every year; or enjoy the street performers on friendly Rembrandtplein.
The first leg of the route takes you through the Green Heart of Holland, abounding in water. It is a true cycling paradise, with characteristic peat and polder landscapes, small farming communities and picturesque historical towns such as Oudewater. It was to this place that women who had been accused of witchcraft fled from all over Europe to try to have their innocence proven by weighing. End the day in medieval Gouda. Amble through the beautifully preserved town centre and visit the old town hall and St. John's church. Stop off at a bakery to buy fresh syrup waffles (Gouda is the hometown of syrup waffles) and Gouda cheese - perhaps the world's most famous type of cheese.
Challenge: 75 km (can be splitted this day by booking an extra overnight in Woerden, 48 km + 30 km)
Today's highlight is one of the Netherlands' most popular tourist attractions: Kinderdijk, a world-famous complex of windmills. Nineteen historical windmills reach to the skies in the epitome of classical Dutch countryside. You can visit an authentic workshop and find out how these mills were built and how they work. Have you always wanted to be a miller? This is where you can still learn the trade! You will stay the night in Dordrecht, one of the Netherlands' oldest towns. A visit to the scenic harbour quarter with its wonderful historical buildings should not be missed.
Challenge: 60 km
In the morning, the route will take you right past one of the few remaining fresh-water tidal areas in Europe: Biesbosch National Park. Upon crossing a one-kilometre-long bridge high above Hollands Diep river, you will find yourself in the south of the Netherlands. In village after village, Brabant hospitality will entice you to stop for a cup of coffee and big slice of fruit tart. Today's destination is Bergen op Zoom. Eight hundred years old, the town's narrow streets, old squares and hundreds of monuments testify to a rich and dramatic past. Before you settle down at one of the many pavement cafes, don't forget to feast your eyes on Markiezenhof, the town's pride and joy. This late-gothic mansion (1485) was built by the local noble family and now serves as museum and archive.
Challenge: 63 km
The landscape along today's cycling route is predominantly woody. On the border between the Netherlands and Belgium, catch your breath in De Zoom - Kalmthoutse Heide, a lovely cross-border nature reserve. The route takes you along the Scheldekaaien (quays on the River Scheldt) right into the historical and touristic heart of Antwerp. It's the largest town in Flanders and Belgium's most important port city. After viewing the historical town center you might like to venture to the hip and trendy parts of the city: 't Zuid and Het Eilandje. Have you worked up a thirst for Belgian beer? Consider visiting De Koninck beer brewery. It has been going strong since 1833 and has a new visitors centre welcoming guests wishing to look around and do some tasting. This brewery is best known for its 'Bollekes'.
Challenge: 50 km
After a short stretch on the banks of the River Scheldt, change course to follow the River Rupel, the shortest river in the country (nearly 10 km long). In the region of the same name, abandoned brick works and useless chimneys are silent witnesses of a hard industrial past. Along the River Dijle, enter the age-old town of Mechelen right up to the church tower of St. Rombold's cathedral. This looks like a good place to stop for lunch. Belgian French fries, by the way, are the best in the world. Continue along the River Dijle to crown your day in the university town of Louvain. It's a pleasant town where the oldest houses date back to the 14th and 15th centuries. Don't miss the Grand Béguinage: Counting 100 houses, it was set up in 1234 as a community for spinsters; and now it's part of the university campus. You also might like to see the early-Gothic church of St. John the Baptist (1304). Round off your explorations on the Oude Markt (Old Market Square), nicknamed 'the longest bar counter in the world' due to the enormous number of bars and cafes on the square.
Challenge: 60 km
The hills of Belgian Brabant and the extensive Sonian Forest set the scene for our cyclists today. If you don't feel like cycling into the big city of Brussels, you can opt to catch a train at one of the stations along the route. Brussel's main attraction is the fantastic Grote Markt (Great Market Square). Nearby, the little statue of Manneken Pis still draws crowds. Your visit to Brussels can also involve scrumptious hot waffles, chocolate, beer, culinary treats, fun shopping or soaking up a bit of culture. One thing's for sure: Brussels can't be explored in one day.
Challenge: 39 km
After breakfast, your cycling holiday has come to an end. You can take a flight from Brussels or take the train back to Amsterdam.

Having a Tiny Home is a goal of mine!
Imagine having a couple friends with Tiny Homes in different areas of the world, and you could trade them off like time shares for vacations. Awesome stuff.
"Tiny House" is becoming quite the household name, and while such homes are tiny, as a movement they are primed to have a huge impact on the housing market, community development, and the way we look at living in general.
The average tiny house is between 100 and 400 square feet, significantly smaller than the 2,600 square feet that make up typical American homes. Though small, these homes offer a surprising range of architectural and aesthetic diversity.
One major motivation that is driving more and more people towards tiny living is the desire for financial freedom. Only 29.3% of all U.S. homeowners own their homes fully, meaning they do not have a mortgage. For Tiny Housers, though, 68% own their tiny home.
According to a CareerBuilder survey, 8 in 10 American workers say they live paycheck to paycheck each month. A similar Harris Poll study found 78% of American workers…

Published at Tuesday, March 26th, 2019 - 07:00:28 AM. Storage Cabinet. By Nicolette Leger.
Metal storage cabinets are in heavy demands these days, so you should confirm whether they are able to deliver your cabinets in the quickest time possible or not. Otherwise, you may waste your time and energy to follow them. For our convenience, cabinet manufacturers offer metal cabinets unassembled and fully welded. As compared to assembled cabinets, fully welded cabinets are preferred for a few reasons, like no need to assemble them and they are comparatively more long lasting.
There are various locking mechanisms for storage cabinets today from handles to recessed, push button or even digital keypad. It depends on whether you just need to store the items or if you need to securely store the items that will be your ultimate decision maker on this topic. If higher security is the issue, we would recommend a cabinet that has a recessed handle or Medico pick resistant lock.

Senior School Trips
There are extensive educational visits and trips throughout the academic year to supplement our broad curriculum including a wide range of field trips to local rivers, historical sites such as Porchester Castle, Southsea Castle and the D-Day museum. We also venture further afield to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Harry Potter Studio Tours and a yearly theatre trip to The West End. Each trip is designed to enhance the work in the classroom and to ensure children understand the wider world in which they live.
Each September Years 6,7,8 visit Woodmill Outdoor Centre to undertake a team building day; this day is designed to teach the children the importance of working together to overcome barriers; a key skill in their understanding of Growth Mindset.
Senior pupils also benefit from a residential trip in the Summer Term. This is a hugely anticipated trip which includes kayaking, sailing, caving, rock climbing and the infamous 'Leap of Faith' on a high ropes course. It is a chance for the pupils to show learn new skills and a time to remember how far they have come in their personal journeys at Boundary Oak School. The benefits of such trips are clear to see as the children always return with renewed vigour, ready to share their stories with younger year groups through their Trip Assembly which parents are invited to.^ Back to Top

|Toon Doo
Toon Doo Maker
I was introduced to Toon Doo at What Ed Said where Edna often uses Toon Doo comics to illustrate her blog posts. I love the way she communicates succinctly with them, grabbing my attention to read on. It took me several visits to come to grips with the variety of features Toon Doo actually has. Even though I've been using it for more than a year, I often discover something new I can do there.
It's worth joining Toon Doo so you can save your work there. Once you do, head for Tools/Toon Doo Maker and select a layout - one, two or three panels. I have found this takes a while to load for me lately, despite our fast internet. Once the template is loaded, you'll see a screen that has your untitled, empty comic on the right.
On the left you will see:
- a Toon Doo "start here" menu with important functions
- a vertical row of icons that allow you to choose people, animals, props, backgrounds etc, and drag them to your template
- a horizontal row of tools at the bottom that help you make elements you've dragged smaller, larger, flip or rotate them etc.
Truly, the best way to learn is to play around - you can't break anything. Once done, I suggest you save (under Toon Doo "start here" icon) by checking "keep it private" and think about the other things you check. With kids, it might be safest to keep what you make just for you rather than to share.
I love the versatility of Toon Doo. There is a ton of art work made available for users, and lots of ways to customise them. Toon Doo describe themselves as the "World's fastest way to create cartoons" - I think they also have the largest variety of cartoon elements. I've only touched on a few of the features here, and urge you to explore it with your kids when they're old enough.
I wrote previously in some detail about making books at Toon Doo, and using Toon Doo Spaces.
|Kerpoof - Disney
Although it's not referred to as a comic editor, I think of the Storybook feature at Kerpoof as just that. Reason? Its characters are quite cartoonish, and it has editable speech bubbles as well as a small section under each created picture for text.
I wrote in detail previously about Kerpoof in Write Stories and More at Kerpoof.
Creaza's Cartoonist
|Creaza's Cartoonist
Creaza has a really helpful tutorial video on the home Cartoonist page to watch and listen to before you start creating your comic. There's quite a bit to learn, but it's worth learning to get the most from your experience.
Sometimes we can see screens and screen-based entertainment as the enemy of creating and learning. But creating comics at websites like ToonDoo, Creaza and Kerpoof involves children in all sorts of literacy-related thinking and problem-solving. You'll find more ideas for encouraging kids to write under "writing" in the blog's right sidebar.

Refresh and Unwind at the Corroboree Tavern & Bark Hut Inn
Languishing on the Arnhem Highway between Darwin and Kakadu National Park, the Corroboree Tavern and Bark Hut Inn promises visitors an iconic experience in a traditional Northern Territory pub. Acting as a roadhouse, restaurant, and traveller's rest stop, it hosts a whole load of fun activities for you to get stuck into.
These days, the Bark Hut Inn gives a hat tip to the region's fascinating past, where buffalo and crocodile hunting were rife. Today, it offers deluxe cabins, a campsite, and a rustic bar to enjoy a drink or two in.
The History of Corroboree Tavern and Bark Hut Inn
The Tavern and Inn was built by Terry Baldwin, the former owner of Annaburroo Station, in 1963. After arriving from New Zealand in 1950 on the hunt for adventure, Baldwin travelled through the outback in New South Wales where, at the time, a devastating drought had wiped out thousands of sheep. The locals wouldn't touch them, so Baldwin began to take the wool from their backs – a lucrative endeavour, as the price began to skyrocket after the Korean War.
Baldwin used this money to buy the Annaburroo Station, which was slap-bang in the centre of frontier country – a region rife with crocodiles, Barramundi, and buffalo.
He built the pub by hand, using ironwood and materials he could get his hands on in the local vicinity. Using the help of the local Aboriginal people, he created a strong bond with them which continues today. When Kakadu National Park was opened in the 1980s, the Arnhem Highway was built right outside the Inn, boosting tourism and bringing an influx of curious travellers with it.
Today, whether you're a traveller, a fisherman, or a local resident, the Bark Hut Inn provides a whole host of things to do.
Things to do at Bark Hut Inn
The bar itself is packed full of old memorabilia, which keeps the eyes busy while enjoying a pint or two.
Grab a Bite
The in-house restaurant serves up hearty Australian dishes seven days a week to keep you refuelled on your travels.
The Inn offers a range of comfortable accommodation options, including deluxe cabins, fisherman cabins, and a campsite.
Pet the Animals
The Bark Hut Inn is home to a range of furry and feathered friends, which all welcome guests with open arms (or paws).
Take a Dip
The on-site pool is the perfect place to unwind after a long day driving. Cool off in the refreshing water, or simply relax around its vicinity with a drink in hand.
Enjoy the Views
Walk up the hill outside the Bark Hut Inn and soak up the majestic views across the surrounding hills, mountains, and wetlands. The view is particularly good at sunset.

The trigger for this loose string was a recent request on the HPA list serve for books to help girls make selections of boyfriends and mates that do not cause pain and suffering. I would love to see such a book. My candidate would be Sexual Excitement by Robert Stoller, but this is hardly suitable material for a young woman, focused as it is on the necessarily perverse and dangerous aspects of sexual excitement. This is a generic issue in my therapy practice (I am now in my 35th year). Why do girls and young women like bad boys? What is the theory? This of course goes to Freud's famously unanswered question, "What do women want?" What is a bad boy? The common clinical presentation is a woman, usually in her 20's but not always, who has been treated badly, sexually or financially exploited, been the subject of infidelity, or worse. I see lots of attractive, bright women who have loser boyfriends who do not even go to work. Lots of recently divorced women who are confused about what to do next in terms of the opposite sex. Of course the issue applies to boys too, but let's keep the question focused. So what's the theory? In my view the answer is not easy to come by. I have explored just about every angle with my female patients. Find a guy who is not like dad? find a guy who needs to be redeemed by the power of the woman's goodness (a test of her fundamental worth as a person)? Like a bad boy simply for the thrill and danger of rejecting parental constraints? Of course there is evolutionary theory. There is also Harvile Hendrix and his very usable approach to seeking and finding love. There is Ethel Person's wonderful Dreams of Love and Fateful Encounters. Maggie Scarf's books are quite good (Intimate Partners, for example). We have even gone so far as to read and consider William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience, since the patient often presents after a disillusionment and painful fall from innocence. I monitor the professional journals and popular press (the Atlantic, NY Times, New Yorker, New York Review of Books, and Harpers often follow the state of American marriage) for clues.
So my loose tangent off this is Stoller's Sexual Excitement, the work of Laura Kipnis, and the recent Mating in Captivity. As a therapist who got trained and practiced in the last quarter of the 20th century, I came under the influence of a therapeutic ideology, definitely feminist informed, that the key to a healthy sexual relationship during marriage was based in the relationship. Sexual pleasure and interest were based in the marital friendship, equality in power relations (empowerment of women in the marital relationship), better communication, asking for what you want, and "intimacy." This typically involved getting men to be better listeners and the couple to develop a strong friendship (this is the basis of Gottman's approach–the most popular couples therapy ideology around today). Dissatisfied females typically drove the agenda (most divorces are initiated by women). Why do women lose their sexual interest after the birth of their first child? A common cause of marital failure occurs after the onset of parenthood. What do marital partners "stray" when the costs are so draconian? Now these writers come along and say the that friendship and safety is a killer of sexual interest! Who wants to have sex with a friend? Sex becomes a boring routine (why do you suppose that is the most common theme in the magazines next to the check out counter in the grocery store? Who buys these magazines?) They have upended the whole ideology. What I have been doing with my patients is wrong? So what do you tell a girl or young woman knowing the complexity of motivations?

Please Register for #YESWECAN8 by 5pm February 10th:
(Less than 30 Early Bird tix left! $15 @ Door with NO RSVP)
Please Register for #YESWECAN8 by 5pm February 10th:
$15 @ Door with NO RSVP
Please join Network For Progress, a social and media-savvy community inspired by the "Yes We Can" Movement to engage Progressives, Democrats, Hope Mongers and Change Makers in political and civic participation, for a celebration of the 8th birthday of Obama For America with a look ahead at the "Future of our Movement" and the 4th birthday of Network For Progress with the launch of a "Ready For Unity" campaign to advocate for a stronger coalition in 2016 and beyond.
And there is no better place to host a gathering focused on the future of the increasingly digital-driven world of movement-building than a space that President Obama has recognized recently, the 1776 Startup Campus, which boasts the tagline "Where revolutions begin." Our venue as well as open bar and appetizers are provided courtesy of General Assembly - the school for technology, business and design education for entrepreneurs and startup companies.
As the President described at the State of the Union Address, 2014 was a great year for America but a terrible year for his Democratic allies but as we saw during the 2008 Obama campaign and recently witnessed in Paris, "unity" is not just an hopeful ideal but a STRATEGY for positive action that we need more than ever to move America forward.
As you might have seen, the DNC has created a Democratic Victory Task Force that is planning to submit a report at their February Meeting and sent out November and December surveys to ask for your input on how to succeed again so please have your voice heard:
The President's organization, Organizing For Action (formerly Obama For America) is also asking for feedback.
But we need to make sure ALL our voices are heard this time. At the event, we will encourage a more open dialogue as well so we can learn from each other and work together as well to build support for our collective causes.

To attend please RSVP here.

With the exception of a few companies that have really drilled into what makes for a successful social media campaign, most companies are really struggling. There are many reasons as to why and there is no cookie cutter solution for ALL businesses.
Content selection may be the deciding factor in regard to engagement, and ultimately growing an active network. Since the content you select will be dependent on your niche, your market, and the data derived from your following, this article will not provide you with the specifics. Instead it will be a guide to moving in the right direction.
Step 1: Learn your niche
One of the most overlooked and obvious steps to creating a successful social media campaign is learning or honing your niche.
Are you a grocery store? A wireless retailer? A restaurant?
Your followers will come to expect content that is relevant to your business. Whether it be relevant drink recipes, a new phone release, or a menu change. Understanding what you do and finding / creating content that speaks to that industry is crucial. Give your followers something that they deem useful and they will interact, they will like, share, and keep an eye out for the next post.
People now follow thousands of accounts. Let the other accounts create and perfect content for their industries and really focus in on yours. Create content that is unique, and share content that has already proven itself somewhere else.
Step 2: Understand your followers
Utilize Data! We are now living in a world of instant analytics. Use them! And if you don't know how, learn to. Or hire someone else to read them and react. Once you dial into your followers and learn their habits, their demographics, what content they're responding to, and what kind of response they are having to it. You can tailor your content choices around this data. Then you can target NEW customers that fit the same demographic profile to generate new customers and more profits.
Step 3: Use content that has already proven to work
Part of your job as a small or large company is to create content. Whether you run your own blog or outsource work to freelance content writers. It's your responsibility to make and share content.
But to be honest, you need to share others content just as much. Why? Because it works... It's already proven to get a "viral" response, and you can be sure that it will also get a good response on your social outlets. Find content online that others have shared and had a good response (make sure it's relevant to your niche) then share it out to your network. Pose a question that is specific to your page or company and press for engagement. Respond to the comments, give some input, be interactive. Make all your followers feel like their comments matter! They will be sure to give you more after they realize you're actually reading them.
Step 4: Differentiate
You can't get into a habit of posting the same stuff over and over again. You need to differentiate the content you create, provide, and share with your network. This differentiation will differ depending on the type of business you run. For example, if you own and operate a chain of grocery stores you'll want to mix up the content you provide out to your customers. Suggestions include posting a digital coupon a couple times a month, mixed with a local promotion or in-store demo, a continuing feed of recipes, health tips, relevant articles relating to holidays and other events, as well as a steady flow of contests and follower exclusive promotions to give your followers a REASON to be apart of your network. Incentive is key when there is so much noise circulating people's newsfeeds.
Step 5: Become a Go-to source for quality, relevant, and verified information
In a world of misinformation, it's your job as a business to provide your followers with verified, insightful, and checked information. Give your followers a source of content they know is honest, and they will reward you. Too many fake articles, spam, and unreliable information is circulating social networks. If you are always double checking your information and supplying your followers with a stream of very relevant and useful information you can be sure they will remain loyal to your pages and provide you with the engagement you deserve to run and grow and online brand.

The Super Bowl has interrupted Mardi Gras, but nobody told Gypsyphonic Disko.
PostedJanuary 31, 2013
Professor Longhair and some Carnival classics get the Balkan bounce beat courtesy of Gypsyphonic Disko. Today, Quickie Mart and Galactic's Ben Ellman released the new Gyspyphonic Mardi Gras, a half-hour downloadable mix that adds bounce's party-starting mojo to "Hey Pocky-Way" and many more. Me - I could stand these versions to be a little more out there, but a they smartly add a vibe that's both retro (the '90s) and contemporary that keeps these remixes from feeling easy.

NEW YORK, October 1, 2007 � Cars and deer can be a lethal combination. Deer migration and mating season generally runs from October through December, and causes a dramatic increase in the movement of the deer population. As a result, more deer-vehicle collisions occur in this period than at any other time of year, so drivers need to be especially cautious, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.).
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimates that there are more than 1.5 million deer-vehicle collisions each year, resulting in 150 occupant deaths, tens of thousands of injuries and over $1 billion in vehicle damage. The average claim for collision damage is about $3,000, with costs varying depending on the type of vehicle and severity of damage; claims involving medical payments can add thousands of dollars, according to the I.I.I.
�As our wildlife habitat continues to shrink, accidents with deer and other animals are likely to increase. We need to be more vigilant in our driving,� said Jeanne M. Salvatore, senior vice president and consumer spokesperson for the I.I.I.
Not only is urban sprawl displacing deer from their natural habitat, but the deer population is also growing. Many of these deer find their way onto highways and into suburban neighborhoods, especially during deer season.
Some states experience more deer collisions than others. According to a study of annual claim statistics, the states with the highest number of accidents involving deer from 2005 to 2006 were: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, Virginia, Minnesota, Texas, Indiana and South Carolina.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to decrease the likelihood of being involved in a deer-vehicle collision.
The following facts can be helpful in avoiding deer-related collisions:
- Deer are not just found on rural roads near wooded areas, many deer crashes occur on busy highways near cities.
- Deer are unpredictable, especially when faced with glaring headlights, blowing horns and fast-moving vehicles. They often dart into traffic.
- Deer often move in groups. If you see one, there are likely more in the vicinity.
When driving, the I.I.I. recommends taking the following precautions:
- Drive with caution when moving through deer-crossing zones, in areas known to have a large deer population and in areas where roads divide agricultural fields from forestland.
- Always wear your seat belt and stay awake, alert and sober.
- When driving at night, use high beam headlights when there is no oncoming traffic. The high beams will better illuminate the eyes of deer on or near the roadway.
- Be especially attentive from sunset to midnight and during the hours shortly before and after sunrise. These are the highest risk times for deer-vehicle collisions.
- Brake firmly when you notice a deer in or near your path, but stay in your lane. Many serious crashes occur when drivers swerve to avoid a deer and hit another vehicle or lose control of their cars.
- Do not rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences and reflectors to deter deer. These devices have not proven effective.
In the event your vehicle strikes a deer, try to avoid going near or touching the animal. A frightened and wounded deer can hurt you or further injure itself, warned the I.I.I. If the deer is blocking the roadway and poses a danger to other motorists, you should call the police immediately.
Contact your insurance agent or company representative as quickly as possible to report any damage to your car. Collision with a deer or other animals is covered under the comprehensive portion of your automobile policy.
For more information about insurance, go to the I.I.I. Web site.

DSLR Showdown: Canon 70D vs. Nikon D7100
Written by Josh Fate - Steve's Digicams Staff Reviewer
Mid-level DSLR cameras are starting to take on features from all other cameras; including features from point-n-shoots, ILCs and all levels of DSLRs, making them more powerful and easier to use at the same time. We have put together a side-by-side comparison of two of the top mid-level DSLRs, the Canon EOS 70D and the Nikon D7100 to help show you some of the advantages and differences between the two.
Both the Canon EOS 70D and the Nikon D7100 feature APS-C sized image sensors. Both systems feature a sensor cleaning system to remove dirt and dust. Although they are the same size, there are some very big differences between them. The Nikon features a higher pixel count, with a 24.1-Megapixel CMOS imaging sensor, for a higher resolution image than Canon.
On the other hand; Canon's 20.2-Megapixel, Dual Pixel CMOS imaging sensor provides larger pixels and greatly increases the AF performance in several ways, which we will talk about more under the AF system. Even with the differences, both cameras produced excellent images in all lighting conditions.
Powering these two cameras are two of the top image processors on the market. Both the Canon DIGIC 5+ and Nikon Expeed 3 image processors are capable of providing the power to handle the Intelligent Auto and multi-shot shooting modes and the continuous AF systems in both still and video shooting.
In the end, the advantage goes to Canon as the DIGIC 5+ is capable of providing 7.0fps high speed shooting compared to the 6.0fps that the Expeed 3 is capable of (which is still very good). During our shooting tests for each camera, the Canon also came in just a little faster in all of our other test categories as well.
AF System
The Auto-Focus systems for the two cameras both rely on TTL phase-detection when shooting with the optical viewfinders and are both incredibly fast. Canon features 19 cross-type sensors while the Nikon features 15 (out of 51 total AF points). The biggest difference comes when the user is shooting stills or video in Live View mode. Here both cameras feature Continuous AF Servo and face detection modes, but the difference is the hardware that does the work.
Nikon uses a 2016-pixel RGB sensor to control its contrast-detection AF. Canon's new Dual-Pixel CMOS sensor allows for phase-detection AF on 80% of the 20.2-Megapixel imaging sensor. This greatly increases the speed and accuracy of shooting in Live View. Continuous AF in both still image capture and video capture is more accurate and it even allows the camera to automatically change and adjust focus while the videos are recording.
Both Canon's and Nikon's mounting systems, the EF Mount and F Mount, are very well known and neither has any distinct advantages over the other. They feature two of the largest collections of lenses available, so whether you are a Canon or Nikon fan, you will have no problems finding a lens for any shooting situation. Currently Canon offers over 100 compatible lenses and Nikon offers over 80.
Video Recording
Video recording is probably the biggest overall difference between the two cameras. Canon has gone above and beyond when it comes to the capabilities of their video capture and movie modes. Both cameras feature full 1080p HD video capture with on board stereo sound. Nikon allows for up to 60fps at the full 1080p while Canon tops out at 30fps. They both offer lower frame rates like the cinematic 24fps as well as lower resolution shooting as well.
Full-Time or Continuous AF is present on both cameras as well, but Canon's new sensor has been designed specifically to keep moving subjects in focus. It also allows you to change the focus of your movies just by touching a point on the touch screen. They have also created a special line of "STM" lenses to reduce noise from vibrations and keep the autofocus smooth and unnoticeable when playing back your movies.
Memory Cards
SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards are the medium for both cameras, but Nikon has one distinct advantage over Canon here. Nikon offers two SD cards slots where Canon offers one. The two slots offer several advantages starting with the ability to buy smaller capacity cards which are often cheaper and a better deal.
Nikon also allows you to choose what you record two both cards. For example, if you shoot in RAW+JPEG, RAW images can be stored on one card and JPEG images on the other, or still images on one and videos on the other. Both cameras are compatible with the fastest UHS-1 memory cards and with the full 1080p HD video capture modes talked about above, these are required for the best results.
Wireless / Wi-Fi
With just about everyone having access to the internet at all times thanks to smartphones and wireless capable tablets, the ability to connect your camera and view and share your images is becoming a very popular and useful feature. Both cameras feature WiFi capabilities that allow you to easily share your images with the world.
Canon features a built-in system that you will always have with you. Nikon relies on the WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter. This optional adapter will run you an additional $60 and has to be attached to the camera whenever you want to use it vs. just turning the feature on with the 70D.
DSLR Showdown Winner: Canon 70D
While both the Canon EOS 70D and the Nikon D7100 are fantastic cameras, the Canon has a few more advantages that would be great for anyone looking to purchase their first DSLR, or for those who already have Canon gear and are ready for an upgrade.

Q. Are there any tricks to improving the interviewing in our company?
I wouldn't call it a trick, but there is one thing that impacts interviewing more than anything else and when properly handled can literally change interviewing overnight. The power of first impressions. Few things impact the interview more than the interviewer's first impression of the candidate.
Often the first impression will drive the interview. It can set the tone for the interview before the interview even begins. A strong first impression can result in an easy interview with soft ball questions. A negative first impression may result in a difficult interview or very short interview since the interviewer has already decided that this is not the right person and they haven't even left the lobby.
I suggest training yourself and your managers to be aware of the power of the first impression. Everybody has first impressions. I have had over 10,000 interviews in my life and I still have first impressions. Only a robot wouldn't have them. The issue is how do we deal with them? I have learned that regardless of a positive or negative first impression I set that aside and still conduct a probing in-depth interview. At the end of that interview I will revisit my first impression to determine if it is still valid. Over half the time I discover that the first impression is not valid and the person can not only do the job, but has such great strengths that they are able to overcome any negative first impression. You could lose a great candidate for the wrong reason.
It all goes back to getting your managers properly trained. Teach them to set aside their first impressions, conduct thorough in-depth probing interviews, and then decide if the first impression is still valid. This trick, as you call it, will dramatically impact your hiring.

Screen Dreams
ONE SUMMER, Adam Meyerowitz tried selling cars at a San Diego dealership. Hated it. No head for business, he says. But the salesmanship training came in handy when Adam figured out what he did want to do with his life: He wanted to make movies. To do that, he and his partners-in-film had to come up with money—lots of it.
How many 24-year-olds do you know who could raise half a million dollars from friends, family and utter strangers for a feature-length comedy about two guys named Stone and Ed— produced by three guys nobody has ever heard of? With degrees in film from UCLA, a script, a business plan and no shortage of chutzpah, the three young men did it. The movie, Stone & Ed, filmed in San Diego over three weeks in 2005, is aimed squarely at 20-something guys with a taste for zany chases, goofy characters, wildly twisted plots and some very non-PC humor.
"The first day on the set was incredible," Meyerowitz says. "You know, to have this idea rolling around in my head for a couple of years—to see it actually happening, it was a magical experience."
The finished film (and it was shot on film, not less-expensive videotape or digital cameras) has been in the can for six months. As of late summer, Meyerowitz and his partners were still in search of a distributor —or anybody else who would project their movie onto a screen. But nearly two years into their mission, they remain undaunted. They work at other jobs to pay the bills, and they keep pitching their movie to anyone who'll listen. Oh, and they're writing their next movie script.
"It has been frustrating, because I'm very much on the creative side of things—but not too patient on the business side," Meyerowitz says. "But so many people just talk about making a movie. You have to go out and do it. Eventually it will happen."
Such is life for today's young filmmakers. And San Diego has no shortage of artists—of all ages —who want to turn their dreams of storytelling into moving pictures. A $500,000 budget seems like chump change in the world of $200 million blockbusters. But it's a fortune to the vast majority of aspiring directors, producers, writers, photographers and editors who pack film schools like the San Diego State University's School of Theatre, Television & Film (with some 500 majors). The best of them would do most anything to get where Meyerowitz (Torrey Pines High School, 1998), David Tal (Bonita Vista High School, 1998) and their producing partner, Dave Hellman (another UCLA grad), are now.
Farther down the education pipeline, hundreds of San Diego junior and senior high school students are grabbing cameras and using inexpensive computer editing to produce their own works, encouraged by such programs as the San Diego County Office of Education's Innovative Video in Education. Many of them have reason for hope.
"Since the silent-film period, there have rarely been as many opportunities for emerging filmmakers as there are today, because of hundreds of 24/7 TV channels, targeted markets, diversified film companies and international distribution," says Jack Ofield, filmmaker in residence and head of the SDSU Television & Film Department. And many have the skills to cope with an industry that is changing with staggering frequency, he says.
"They are extraordinarily plugged in to new technologies. They learn fast and are unfazed by new developments, which occur almost every week; indeed, most greet the new with curiosity and delight. For this generation, a phrase like 'the shock of the new' doesn't apply."
HOCK OF REAL LIFE might be another issue. Under the heading of "scrappy independent producer," add the name Matthew Nourse, another 1998 Torrey Pines High grad who's taken a more low-key— and low-budget—path to bringing his passion for storytelling to life.
The UC Santa Barbara graduate spent six months in a rent-free cabin near Lake Tahoe writing his drama about the death of a friend and the effect it has on a series of relationships. Then he went back to a bartending job he hated in L.A. while he saved money and finagled (through a friend) to get to actors with recognizable names for his young audience. Neither Dominique Swain (Face/Off, Lolita) nor Ryan Donowho (formerly of The OC ) is an A-lister yet. But they're big enough names to help Nourse finally raise enough money through a private investor to make the film he wanted to direct.
"After we shot it, we had to raise more money to finish it," he says. "We put everything into just getting the film into the can. [Raising money] was the most difficult thing I've ever done. Every step was a new step."
This past summer, Nourse and his partners hired a company to help plan the strategy to get their movie into big-name film festivals, in hopes it will be picked up by a distributor. Meanwhile, he's been working part-time at a production company and writing four hours a day.
The dream of the big score—or at least recognition —is always present with filmmakers. But it's not all about fame and money. "I really love making small films," Nourse says. "I like the idea of coming up with low-budget films that have as much as or more emotional impact than big-budget Hollywood movies.
"I'm interested in the way the industry's changing. Film marketing is changing—it's going directly to the viewers, like on broadband. And the way people view movies at home is changing. It's an exciting time to be a filmmaker."
Nourse, Meyerowitz and Tal had some luck, too. They got to make real movies, using real crews and the real streets of San Diego, just like the big guys do when they bring to town a Titanic or Antwone Fisher Story or any Stu Segal–produced TV series.
Ten or 15 times a year, the staff at the San Diego Film Commission spends days mentoring first-time filmmakers, teaching them how to make a movie on location in a big city, with rules and permits and traffic cops to go along with the lights, cameras, grip trucks and legions of people on two-way radios and cell phones.
"We think of it as having a unique opportunity to work with our future customers, and we're training the very people who will be coming back with bigger projects someday. They're learning how to do it right; they're collaborating with the community; and we're building an infrastructure so we can handle more and more production," says Cathy Anderson, president and CEO of the commission, a quasi-public, nonprofit agency funded with city hotel-room tax money and grants from the county and the Port of San Diego.
The San Diego region is home to more than half a dozen film festivals that are valuable tools for getting a film in front of an audience. The 2006 BestFest America film festival, based in San Diego, drew more than a thousand student entries from around world for 65 screening slots.
The odds don't seem to faze the most dedicated of the would-be filmmakers—ones like Matthew Nourse and Adam Meyerowitz, who've managed to take the first big step and completed a full-length feature through persistence and passion. Both believe they have something to say to audiences.
"I don't know how you can be in this industry and not have something to say," Nourse says. "I made a conscious choice to not try to break in with 'genre' films, because I didn't want to get sucked into working the angles in Hollywood. I'd rather come from the side of making these small little art films and keep building on them."
Meyerowitz has a slightly different view. "Obviously, I'd love to make big-budget films; it would be a ton of fun," he says. But he too is still enamored of the storytelling possibilities offered by smaller films.
"I want to bring enlightenment to entertainment," he says. "I want to go back to how films used to be made—with story and substance, not just a bunch of effects and expensive talent. There are a lot of people out there making films that matter."

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome – SIDS
Inftants who die suddenly for unknown reasons are suspected to have died from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Although instances of SIDS have decreased in recent years, it still remains the leading cause of death in the U.S. for infants aged a few weeks to 12 months.
According to some experts, putting an infant to sleep with a pacifier and placing their beds in their parent's room (but not in the same bed) may reduce the risk of SIDS.
Some important risk factors are:
- Sleeping on the side or tummy
- A sleeping surface that is too soft
- Bedding that is not snug
- Overheating the baby
- Mothers who smoke
- Bed sharing or co-sleeping
- Pre-term and low-weight babies
If you have any concerns, please discuss them with your physician.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave from Work Well I purchased the lifters just before Thanksgiving, and used them on Thanksgiving Day to remove a turkey from the BBQ. The lifters worked very well. Much better than using two large carving forks as I've done in the past. I can also see using the lifters on a roast. The lifters are very solid and easy to hold.Date published: 2019-12-05Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave from Work Very Well I just received the lifters prior to Thanksgiving, and used them on Thanksgiving to remove a turkey from the BBQ. The lifters worked great. It was easy lifting the turkey out and placing on a cutting board to take into the house. Much better than the old way of using two large carving forks. The lifters are solid. We'll probably use them on a roast also. Pleased with them.Date published: 2019-12-04

Venus in furs.
I bought the guitar for Anna.
Why I was in Hamburg I cannot remember now.
Or rather I bought the guitar to make myself more interesting to Anna.
She dyed her hair black when all the other girls were dying their hair blonde.
She hung out with artists.
The guitar was cheap and broken but it was a guitar and I guessed that if I carried a guitar she would assume that I could play it.
I couldn't.
But I could carry it around as if I could.
And I could carry it around as if I could play it better than any-one else could... I was the Hendrix of guitar poseurs.
Anna wore a mink.
Guymond suggested the old man, Guymond could see that my posturing with a broken guitar was getting me no-where, the old man fixed instruments. Violins mostly..
He lived behind the Reeperbahn above a shop. He was a Jew and had lived there through the war but I didn't ask how and he didn't say why.
He just did.
He asked me did I play.
He asked me why then I needed the guitar.
I told him about Anna.
He said: Oh yes Venus in Furs.
He said he'd fix the guitar but that would fix nothing.
The old man was right.

District after district have fallen into the hands of the Syrian army soldiers and their allies, forcing the terrorist groups to rapidly retreat to the South in order to avoid being overrun and outflanked by the pressing forces in Eastern Aleppo as the pro-government troops have already established full control over important blocks and districts in the Eastern part of the city, specially its Northern part.
The Syrian army and its allies seized full control of al-Sheikh Khezr, Bustan al-Pasha, Baeedin, Soleiman al-Halabi, al-Hallak, al-Anzarat, Sheikh Fares, Ayn al-Tal, and al-Sakhor after they recaptured housing complexes in Hanano, Jabal Badrou, Arz al-Hamra and also driving a wedge along the Northern section of the Eastern districts of Aleppo city.
The Syrian army imposed full control over Baeedin district after capturing al-Davvar district, and is now in control of nearly half of Eastern Aleppo.
The army units have taken back 20 square kilometers of the total 45 square kilometers of Eastern Aleppo after recapturing 12 regions.
Scores of terrorists were killed and wounded in tough battle with the Syrian army soldiers.
According to reports, more than 3,000 buildings have been also cleared of Al-Nusra Front (has changed name to Fatah al-Sham Front while hundreds of militants laid down their arms and left Eastern Aleppo through the special corridor.
Thousands of civilians, including hundreds of children and newborn babies, have also left the Eastern part of the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo in recent days.
All civilians are being cared for in aid camps where they receive medical treatment, food and sanitation.
According to the Russian Center for Reconciliation, more than 80,000 people live in the newly liberated areas of the Eastern part of the city while more than 5,000 people fled from the Southern districts of Eastern Aleppo, which are still controlled by the militants, to the areas held by government forces.
Currently, the Syrian Army is continuing their large-scale offensive in Eastern Aleppo, targeting Al-Nusra Front and other militant groups still controlling the area.
With recapturing the Northern part of Eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo, Syrian army forces can now turn their attention to the last half of the East Aleppo pocket; this will arguably the most difficult battle they face inside the provincial capital.
Over the recent months, Aleppo has been a battlefield between government forces and numerous terrorist groups.
Syria has been mired in bloody war since March 2011, with Damascus forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad fighting tens of terrorist groups.

Strong Warriors events are meant to challenge you. These events will push you to your physical limits. These events will challenge you both physically and mentally. The question is, will you accept the challenge? We cater our events to Native Communities. We strive to bring our events to our Native People and the surrounding communities. We know its difficult to travel to a large event. We want to be able to provide the community and tribes with the added benefit of being able to participate within their own community with the sense of pride and competition through the physical challenges of our Strong Warriors 5K Obstacle Challenges. We have had to privilege of bringing our events to the Four Corners Area: Shiprock, NM, Bluff, UT, and White Mesa, UT. We have also had our event hosted by the Comanche Nation Waterpark in Lawton, OK. We will be traveling to the HO-Chunk Nation in Baraboo, WI. Our Obstacles differ with each location and terrain. We have over 15 obstacle challenges along with exercise stations. The use of mud varies at each obstacle course. Our event is an overall Obstacle Challenge. Our Obstacle lengths are 5K. We know many Native Americans are runners by nature and we use our challenge to challenge the average runner by participating in our obstacle challenges.
Will you accept the challenge?
''I have been wounded but not yet slain. I shall lie here and bleed awhile. Then I shall rise and fight again. The title of Warrior may from time to time fall to others more than ourselves. But the heart, the spirit, and the soul of a Warrior remains." (Strong Warrior Creed)
Strong Warriors incorporated our Young Warriors Challenge for ages 5-13. We want to instill in our native children to challenge themselves physically and mentally as well. To let the children experience the challenge of pushing themselves and giving them the sense of accomplishment while their friends and families cheer them on as they compete through our Young Warriors 1mi Course. We want the children to have fun and also be safe. Our course is meant to let them enjoy the same type of challenge as the Strong Warriors. Our obstacles vary in each Young Warriors Course as does the use of mud. Each course differs to the terrain and location of each course.

I finally had to go back to work today so the updates may not include as much work as before. I put up a few support 2x4's in the ceiling joists then tried to figure out what is connected to what in our electrical breaker box. I went through each breaker and made a list of of everything that is connected to it. The electrician who does all the work for Press Ganey, Vin, came over and checked out our breaker box to make sure it could handle the added electrical outlets and lighting in the new room. He suggested adding a sub panel to accommodate for the small panel that we currently have. He gave me his suggested brand and size and said he would come back to help hook it all up. It's nice to know people like that who are willing to help.
Now I'm sitting here watching the Sugar Bowl and Notre Dame just scored to tie the score at 14. Hopefully they can pull off the upset! Shoot I didn't even finish this post and LSU scored to take the lead again.

Autologic Releases :Ad Manager V, Version 5.1
Tuesday, June 17, 2003
Press release from the issuing companyLas Vegas, NV (NEXPO Booth #122) – June 16, 2003 – Autologic, an Agfa Company, announced today the availability of the latest version of the popular :Ad Manager V System, a highly flexible, custom-built complete display ad production and tracking system that provides the capability to easily build and manage the creation of display ads. :Ad Manager 5.1 comes with new features and supports additional applications and client operating systems. AdSuite is the newest client application that can be found in version 5.1 of :Ad Manager. AdSuite offers many display ad functions and capabilities such as display ad building, Web proof generation, publication tracking of ads, individual ad tracking and on-line/historical reporting. Like existing :Ad Manager clients, AdSuite offers central and remote ad building and tracking operations to meet the deadline requirements and position the operation closer to the advertiser. Third-party Support This new release supports the latest versions of third-party ad building applications, including QuarkXPress™ 5.0.1, InDesignTM 2.0.1, Multi-Ad Creator 6.5.3. The new :Ad Manager V also supports the legacy applications including: Creator Classic, Creator 2, and QuarkXPress™ 4.11. :Ad Manager V's on-line and historical reporting capability has been expanded in version 5.1. Customers have the ability to take report templates and generate custom reports for view, output, and/or exporting. Some of these report templates include: Sales, Spec Ad, Advertiser and User. The reports use the system's relational database to quickly generate the desired report. :Ad Manager V includes the ability to restore and pickup ads from the near-line archive database, saving valuable time and resources in the ad production operations. OS-Friendly :Ad Manager 5.1 now supports the Macintosh OS X operating system as well as the Macintosh OS 9 and Windows OS. The support of both OS X and OS 9 on the same system allows customers to move display ad building stations and users to the new OS environment at their own pace. :Ad Manager Sales Booming Customers have responded in large numbers to :Ad Manager V. Newspapers that have recently bought and installed :Ad Manager V include The Press-Enterprise of Riverside, CA; The Advertiser of Honolulu, HI; The Star of Indianapolis, IN; The Courier-Journal of Louisville, KY; Newspaper Agency Corporation of Salt Lake City, UT; The Times of Contra Costa, CA; and The Journal Star of Peoria, IL. The Courier-Journal of Louisville, KY (daily circ.: 170,000; Sunday circ.: 287,000) has been an :Ad Manager user since 1999. "I particularly like the publication and track review features. Both of those have greatly simplified our nightly production," said Jim Hines, Advertising Technology Manager. "Before installing :Ad Manager V, we didn't have an effective way to track ad operator productivity. Now, we do," said Cliff Ito, Ad Graphics Manager, The Advertiser, Honolulu (daily circ.: 147,714; Sunday circ.: 169,998). "We regularly use a report which shows the number of ads each operator completed and the time it took them. This has been an effective tool in managing a staff with a wide range of skills." About :Ad Manager V :Ad Manager V includes many benefits for the production and tracking of display ads. Some of the recent software release benefits include Web Proofing, PDF workflow and integration with Autologic's Preflight software. - Web Proofing - :Ad Manager V includes the ability to deliver ad proofs over the Internet. The Web Proofing feature allows ad builders to create a PDF document of the ad via the supplied client. Using a browser the advertiser or internal sales personnel have the ability to login to the newspaper. They are then presented their proof ads. Approved ads can then be automatically released to the pagination system. Changes can be relayed back from the web view to the ad document folder. The history of the web proofing events is tracked in the database. - PDF Workflow - :Ad Manager V has the capability to integrate a PDF workflow. The system can receive PDF and files that would be used for ad building. :Ad Manager V also can create PDF ad files for output, delivery to pagination system, and/or delivery to other sources. - Preflight Integration - :Ad Manager V can also be integrated with Autologic's :PreCheck preflight software to help assure ads will output on the paginated page. This automated workflow will have completed ads checked by the :PreCheck RIP software. This automated preflight process is done well in advance of pagination page deadlines to eliminate last minute output problems.

I love stumbling upon things like this.
Yesterday I was going through a bargain bin and found the soundtrack to 'The Heights'.
Having never heard of it I did a little investigating when I got home. Turns out the show was a short-lived 1992 musical drama series by 'Beverley Hills, 90210' mastermind Aaron Spelling. 'The Heights' told the story of the fictional band of the same name.
Theme song 'How Do You Talk To An Angel', performed by The Heights with actor Jamie Walters on vocals, topped the Billboard Hot 100. However, despite this chart success, the ratings disappointed and Fox cancelled the show when the song fell from number one.
Jamie went on to star in 'Beverley Hills, 90210' as Ray Pruit and had a music career of his own. He has released three solo albums since, with the single 'Hold On' being his biggest hit. Apart from appearing on VH1's 'Confessions Of A Teen Idol' in 2009, Jamie is now a family man working as a firefighter.

Fresh off of a last minute trip to France, then back to his home in Kentucky, then a flight not two days later straight to New York City, Robert Kirkman is an understandably tired fellow. He's also a very fortunate fellow, of course, as the AMC adaptation of his critically acclaimed comic book series "The Walking Dead" is set to latch its jaws on television screens worldwide at the end of October. But television isn't the only new medium where fans can enjoy Kirkman's zombie series, as a new prose novel series was just announced earlier this week.
At New York Comic-Con, Kirkman dropped by the CBR Tiki Room to discuss a variety of his current and future projects with executive producer Jonah Weiland. Regarding the prose novels, Kirkman said that he'll be writing outlines and plots, but horror novelist Jay Bonansinga ("Perfect Victim") will be writing the novels themselves.
"It's all comic book continuity," Kirkman said of the novels. "It'll basically be about characters that aren't in the series anymore, so it won't really effect continuity in the comic book series; it'll be little snippets of the past, really interesting nuggets."
Kirkman told CBR that the first novel will focus on "one very popular character who is no longer in the series anymore, and it shows how he came to the place that he ends up in the comic book series."
"It's a very cool thing to be able to go back and expand everything," he said. "The way it's going to work is that it'll be a standalone novel that you can just get and read. It'll just be a cool book about this person. You don't have to read the comic book series to enjoy it, but if you've read both, there will be things where you're like, 'Oh, so that's how that happened.'"
The writer also touched on "Image United," the six-issue series featuring artwork from Image Comics founders Todd McFarlane, Whilce Portacio, Marc Silvestri, Erik Larsen, Jim Valentino and Rob Liefeld. The third issue of "Image United" hit comic book stores this past summer after a several month hiatus, leading many fans to wonder about the future of the series.
When asked when "Image United" will conclude, Kirkman responded, "It'll definitely finish within the next five years, and I can say that with a straight face. The next five months? Eh. But it'll finish. Everyone is hard at work on it, very slowly."
Earlier this year, McFarlane told CBR that his own hectic schedule was largely responsible for the "Image United" delays. But Kirkman defended the artist, saying, "Todd, I think, has done the most work on issue #4 out of anybody, so I can't really blame him on this one unless he still has all of the pages on his desk. I'm pretty sure he's working on it."
"Issue #4 will hopefully be out before the end of the year and I can almost guarantee that five and six will hopefully be done before summer," Kirkman said of the book's future publishing schedule.
Check back with CBR News in the coming days for more from Kirkman's video interview.
