A confident Elton John kicks off farewell tour with flair
By MESFIN FEKADU
AP Music Writer
Wednesday, September 12
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — After 90 minutes of nonstop singing and piano playing — which had the audience on their feet and desperately waiting for more — Elton John returned to the stage dramatically, and epic.
There was the sound of loud thunderstorms, dark blue, smoky lights surrounding the arena, and a grand, candle-lit chandelier on the large screen — all while music in the vein of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" played in the background.
A strong light beamed from the ceiling to John's piano as if he were Batman. After all, his performance was heroic.
The Rocket Man, who kicked off his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour about 60 miles from Philadelphia on Saturday, sang like a confident, electrified pro in the City of Brotherly Love on Tuesday. It was the second show on his 300-date tour set to reach five continents, stretching into 2021. He will retire from the road after the shows.
John's custom Gucci blazer was covered with pink flowers and green stems — which matched his pink shoes and green glasses with rhinestones — when he emerged to sing again, as his piano smoothly moved from one end of the stage to the center.
His performance throughout the night was so rousing that concertgoers, ranging from thirty-somethings to people about John's age (he's 71), reacted in various ways: Some recorded every moment with their cellphones like anxious teenagers, while others danced without a care, yelled every lyric and played the air-piano. Others calmly took in the energy from their seats — after all, it was a school/work night.
The nearly three-hour concert began with "Bennie and the Jets," as John pounded away at the piano and took in a long applause at the song's end. He was backed by an equally talented six-member band at the Wells Fargo Center and said Tuesday's show marked an anniversary: he first played in Philadelphia on Sept. 11, 1970.
"There's been one common denominator throughout (my musical) journey — you guys out there," he said to the fans. "You bought the singles, the albums, the 8-track, the cassette, the CD, the DVD, the merchandise, but most of all, you bought the tickets to the shows."
"You have no idea how much I love to play live," he continued. "Ten years ago, if you said I would be doing a farewell tour, I would have said you put acid in my drink."
The Oscar, Grammy and Tony winner performed two dozen songs, including classics like "Your Song," "Tiny Dancer," "Rocket Man," "Saturday Night's Alright (for Fighting)," "Candle In the Wind" and "I'm Still Standing."
He wore a black tailcoat blazer with shiny gold lines and red glasses with rhinestones. The earring in his right ear would put even a fancy wedding ring to shame.
John didn't speak much throughout the night — quickly jumping from song to song. He did give a shout-out to Bernie Taupin, his writing partner of 50 years who was sitting in the audience. When he sang "Border Song," which was covered by Aretha Franklin, John said he wanted to honor those who had a profound impact on his life, including musicians, politicians, athletes and everyday people. The Queen of Soul, Nelson Mandela, Nina Simone and Stephen Hawking were among the famous faces that appeared on the screen. A photo of John and his grandmother closed the performance.
The performer also highlighted the success of his Elton John AIDS Foundation, saying he started the organization after getting sober in 1990 and realizing he "hadn't done enough to address the AIDS epidemic during its terrifying rise in the 1980s."
"Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined how far it would grow," he said of the foundation, which John said has raised $400 million and reached 100 million people.
"And if there's one thing I learned in my life, it's about the extraordinary healing power of love and compassion and caring."
He closed the concert with "Goodbye to Yellow Brick Road," this time in a robe and heart-shaped glasses. John took off the robe to reveal his tracksuit, ascending into a secret-like door above the stage. Just like a superhero.

How Les Moonves got to leave CBS on his own terms while others in #MeToo miscreant club got canned

On Sept. 9, CBS Chairman Les Moonves resigned, following accusations by 12 women of harassment and assault.
His departure, however, has not followed the script of other executives publicly shamed over harassment allegations and thrown out onto the curb.
Unlike television hosts Matt Lauer or Charlie Rose, he kept his job for several weeks after The New Yorker published the first of two articles on his alleged transgressions, which contained accounts from six accusers. Lauer and Rose were fired within days.
Moonves was also able to negotiate an exit package with a number of face-saving provisions, including the opportunity to resign, a temporary non-disparagement clause, and confidentiality of the results of the CBS internal investigation currently underway.
He also retains the theoretical, if unlikely, possibility of receiving a portion of his more than US$180 million severance package, pending the outcome of that investigation.
Why was Moonves allowed to stick around and leave on his own terms, when so many others were unceremoniously dumped? CBS – which could have easily stuck to the script – isn't saying.
But I have a different theory, based on the timing of the deal and the contracts involved, where Moonves was used as a shield in an unrelated power play. If true, it reveals how #MeToo has become more than just a movement in the corridors of corporate power.
Firing Moonves for 'cause'
Back in July, when The New Yorker published its first story, the CBS board would have been within its rights to fire Moonves based on harassment allegations from two former CBS employees, as well as a job candidate he reportedly assaulted during a pitch meeting.
Under CBS's employment contract with Moonves, the company could have fired Moonves for "cause" with no severance package or settlement. The definition of "cause" included a "willful and material violation of any company policy," including the harassment policy, that proved harmful to the company.
As a former employment lawyer, I don't think CBS' lawyers would have had trouble finding language in the harassment policy to support a "cause" determination. Prohibited conduct includes "threaten(ing) or engag(ing) in retaliation after an overture or inappropriate conduct is rejected," "a pattern of unwanted advances" and "unwanted touching."
In other words, Moonves could have been fired summarily in July, just as CBS didn't hesitate to end the career of one of his employees, Charlie Rose, back in November.
Given the taint surrounding men accused of this kind of behavior ever since #MeToo became a household word in October, why did CBS keep him around?
It's possible directors on the CBS board didn't consider the initial allegations sufficient to warrant termination. However, I would attribute their hesitation in part to an unrelated lawsuit – and their hope that Moonves could be a useful bargaining chip.
Moonves v. Redstone
For the last six months, CBS has been caught up in a lawsuit with its majority shareholder, National Amusements. That company is owned by 95-year-old business magnate Sumner Redstone and now run by his daughter Shari.
The lawsuit centers around a disagreement over the Redstones' wish to merge CBS with Viacom, another company they own.
Moonves and a faction of the CBS board tried to thwart the Redstones by voting to dilute their powerful Class A shares, which give them control of the network. CBS basically proposed giving Class B investors the same voting rights.
This was like resolving a fight over the executive bathroom by giving keys to everyone at the company. Technically, you're not taking anything away. Except that you've transformed it into a regular bathroom.
Both sides sued over this coup-by-dilution, and the trial was scheduled to start Oct. 3. As the parties engaged in settlement talks, the stakes were high. But it also gave Moonves some unexpected leverage.
Settling scores
Negotiation scholars note that bargaining power comes from your own ability to walk away from a deal. And your ability to make life painful for those on the other side of the table if they don't agree to your terms.
Although some directors on the board were so loyal to Moonves that they were apparently indifferent to the allegations, even independent board members may have faced a difficult choice. CBS needed the pretense of keeping Moonves in order to negotiate a favorable settlement deal with the Redstones. Moonves was likely to be an important witness at trial.
If CBS fired him before settling with the Redstones, he might not cooperate in court. That would erode CBS' trial prospects and thus its bargaining position with Redstone.
At the same time, Moonves' contract was also a pain point for the Redstones.
That's because Moonves' contract also had a provision known as a "golden parachute" clause. A golden parachute entitles an executive to a massive payout if certain changes are made to the company.
The golden parachute allowed Moonves to resign and receive a monstrous $182 million exit package – for a "good reason" resignation – if the Redstones wanted to change the composition of the board or force the company into a merger.
In other words, even if the Redstones won the lawsuit and kept their controlling stake, they wouldn't be able to make big changes without enriching Moonves. This would be the pain – a controlling stake that can't actually be wielded without awarding your adversary a mountain of cash.
So, I believe the swing votes on the CBS board sat on their hands in August – even as they confidentially learned of an attempted cover-up by Moonves. They wanted that settlement with Redstone before cutting Moonves loose.
The #MeToo movement presents a curveball
Moonves likely used this time to negotiate his own exit.
But the #MeToo movement wasn't done. On Sept. 9, The New Yorker published fresh accusations against Moonves, and his options dwindled.
His settlement package mostly consists of CBS promising to do things it was willing to do anyway. Keep matters secret. Let the internal investigation run its course. Donate $20 million to the #MeToo movement to rebuild its reputation.
The high stakes game of chicken with Redstone had crumbled. CBS really could no longer credibly say it wanted Moonves to stay.
Hours later, CBS announced both the settlement of the lawsuit and Moonves' departure.
What it means
This isn't the first time, and probably won't be the last, that the #MeToo movement collided with other business interests – for better or for worse.
Harvey Weinstein's victims may have decided to go public against him last year at least in part because his power in the industry was already on the decline. While #MeToo revelations fueled the leadership shakeup at Nike earlier this year, they apparently gained added force through an unrelated corporate power struggle.
Like any social movement that resides in the workplace, #MeToo can be attractive to competing business interests within an organization. For example, in the 1970s and 1980s, human resources departments capitalized on civil rights laws to cement their internal status and expertise, as sociologists Frank Dobbin and Lauren Edelman have documented.
For the #MeToo movement, the Moonves story is a partial victory, clouded by the board's delay and his face-saving exit. But in a way, that's okay. Business is messy. And the #MeToo movement is still very much at the table.
South Africa's Blombos cave is home to the earliest drawing by a human

Scientists working in Blombos Cave in South Africa's southern Cape region have made a discovery that changes our understanding of when our human ancestors started expressing themselves through drawings. They've found a 73 000-year-old cross-hatched drawing on a silcrete (stone) flake. It was made with an ochre crayon. The Conversation Africa asked Professor Christopher Henshilwood, who leads the team that made the discovery, about its significance.
What does the drawing your team found look like?
It consists of a set of six straight sub-parallel lines crossed obliquely by three slightly curved lines. One line partially overlaps the edge of a flake scar. This suggests it was made after that flake became detached. The abrupt termination of all lines on the fragment edges indicates that the pattern originally extended over a larger surface.
So the pattern was probably more complex and structured in its entirety than in this truncated form.
This has shifted our thinking about when human ancestors started drawing. What was the earliest known drawing found before this?
The earliest known engraving, a zig-zag pattern incised on a fresh water shell from Trinil, Java, was found in layers dated to 540 000 years ago. In terms of drawings, a recent article proposed that painted representations in three caves of the Iberian Peninsula were 64,000 years old – this would mean they were produced by Neanderthals. So the drawing on the Blombos silcrete flake is the oldest drawing by Homo sapiens ever found.
You describe it as a "drawing" – how can you be sure it wasn't just a random series of scratches?
The presence of similar cross-hatched patterns engraved on ochre fragments found in the same archaeological level and older levels suggests the pattern in question was reproduced with different techniques on different media.
This is what we would expect to find in a society with a symbolic system embedded in different categories of artefacts. It's also worth noting that patterns drawn on a stone are less durable than those engraved on an ochre fragment and may not survive transport. This may indicate that comparable signs were produced in different contexts, possibly for different purposes.
Is there any reason to think the pattern is an artwork?
We would be hesitant to call it "art". It is definitely an abstract design; it almost certainly had some meaning to the maker and probably formed a part of the common symbolic system understood by other people in this group. It's also evidence of early humans' ability to store information outside of the human brain.
Does it tell us anything else about the people who made it? And do we know which group they belonged to on our ancestral tree?
The drawing was made by Homo sapiens – people like us, who were our ancient direct ancestors. They were hunter-gatherers who lived in groups of between 20 and 40 people.
The discovery adds to our existing understanding of Homo sapiens in Africa. They were behaviourally modern: they behaved essentially like us. They were able to produce and use symbolic material culture to mediate their behaviour, just like we do now. They also had syntactic language – essential for conveying symbolic meaning within and across groups of hunter gatherers who were present in southern Africa at that time.
Blombos Cave is a really significant archaeological site. Can you explain why?
Blombos Cave is situated 50 m from the Indian Ocean, elevated at 35 m above sea level and 300 km east of Cape Town. It's very small – just 55m². It was used as a temporary living site by hunter gatherer groups; they'd spend a week or two there at a time before moving on.
The archaeological layer in which the Blombos drawing was discovered has also yielded other indicators of symbolic thinking. These include shell beads covered with ochre and, more importantly, pieces of ochres engraved with abstract patterns. Some of these engravings closely resemble the one drawn on the silcrete flake.
In older layers at Blombos Cave, dated at 100 000 years, they also discovered a complete toolkit consisting of two abalone shells filled with an ochre rich substance – a red paint – and all the artefacts associated with making it including seal bone used to add fat to the mixture. This discovery proves that our early ancestors could also make paint by 100 000 years ago.
Engraved ochre slabs with various designs, including cross-hatched patterns, were also found in these older layers.

Managing Exam-Related Stress
"Truly being ready means understanding what could go wrong— and having a plan to deal with it." – Col. Chris Hadfield
When dealing with acute fears, such as those emanating from exams which cause anxiety, I immediately think about professionals who deal with the most extreme fears I can think of: astronauts. In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, astronaut Chris Hadfield observes that in his experience, "fear comes from not knowing what to expect and not feeling you have any control over what's about to happen." Much of an astronaut's training is spent conquering fear by visualizing problems that could happen at any point during a mission and learning to solve those problems. In fact, Hadfield says that a true worst-case scenario is the scenario that hasn't been planned for. The same is true for students feeling test anxiety. To help manage stress related to taking tests, I help my students learn how to deal with problems like an astronaut.
Why Do We Experience Stress?
First, let's take a moment to examine why preparing for the worst can eases anxiety. A helpful (and empirically based) paradigm for looking at stress is the psychosocial or threat/challenge hypothesis of stress. This paradigm suggests that a test has a specific set of demands, and a person believes they have a certain set of resources (including knowledge or skills) with which to confront those demands. If a student believes their resources exceed the demands they face, they will look at the test as a challenge that can be overcome. If a student believes their resources are insufficient to meet the demands, they will look at the test as a threat. Psychological and physiological experiments on this model have shown that there are both mental and physical effects of appraising a test as a challenge or a threat. This is relevant in the academic life of a student because challenges are met with confidence and increased cognitive ability while threats are met with anxiety and decreased cognitive ability.
Combating Stress by Confronting Potential Issues
With the goal of combating exam-related stress, it is crucial to foresee the demands of an exam and study in a way that provides sufficient resources for each of these demands. There may be no profession more adept at this skill than astronauts! So let's do what astronauts (and their myriad of support staff) do: imagine the worst.
Take for example a physics exam. There are many ways to imagine a physics exam could going wrong. However, by listing all the potential issues, a student can plan solutions ahead of time for each of them, convincing themselves they have the resources to meet any demands of an exam. Here are examples for planning for common negative scenarios:
- Don't understand a concept: I will do many practice problems to find these areas ahead of time and read the textbook/seek help from teacher to clarify concepts.
- Forget a concept: I will make flashcards summarizing each concept and consistently quiz myself in order to maximize the probability of recalling a concept on the exam.
- Confuse a concept: I will focus on related concepts that are likely to be confused and isolate the details that will allow me to distinguish between them.
- Forget an equation: I will make flashcards of the equations and try to truly understand the relationships behind them so that I can remember the common sense behind the equation.
- Confuse an equation: I will spend extra time studying the distinctions between similar equations.
- Make a clumsy mistake: I accept that I make these mistakes, acknowledge that it comes from an insecurity that causes me to hurry through the 'easy' parts of problems instead of doing due diligence and I will compensate by taking a little extra time on the 'easy' stuff.
- Get confused by a problem: I recognize this will happen, and will calmly reread the problem, and maybe draw a diagram.
- Run out of time: As I study, I will make note of the types of problems that take me the longest, why they take me the longest, and find strategic ways to improve my efficiency.
- Need to go to the bathroom: I will limit fluid intake before the exam.
By brainstorming the potential issues confronting them, students can walk into an exam knowing that not only have they studied the material, but that they are prepared to confront the worst case scenario. And just as astronauts have help (veteran astronauts and other space-science instructors), students can also have help (such as teachers at school, parents, and seasoned tutors).
So next time you're in a tough spot, it's usually a good idea to ask yourself: What would an astronaut do?

A popular objection to eating liver is the belief that the liver is a storage organ for toxins in the body.In general, organ meats are between 10 and 100 times higher in nutrients than corresponding muscle meats.(That said, fruits and vegetables are rich in phytonutrients like flavonoids and polyphenols that aren't found in high concentrations in meats and organ meats, so fresh produce should always be a significant part of your diet.)In fact, you might be surprised to learn that in some traditional cultures, the organ meats were consumed.The chart below lists the micronutrient content of apples, carrots, red meat and beef liver.Note that every nutrient in red meat except for vitamin C surpasses those in apples and carrots, and every nutrient—including vitamin C—in beef liver occurs in exceedingly higher levels in beef liver compared to apple and carrots.
Remember that it is essential to eat meat and organ meats from animals that have been raised on fresh pasture without hormones, antibiotics or commercial feed.
Pasture-raised animal products are much higher in nutrients than animal products that come from commercial feedlots.

The stock market crash of 1929 effected a lot more than financial institution accounts. In truth, there's a much broader vary of kinds that we see in this era. Although it might be hard to think about sure normalities during that period (such because the perm or mullet) a trend of a lifetime, the 80s birthed traits that have seemed to revive themselves in the current day fashion world.
A more masculine look grew to become common, together with flattened breasts and hips, quick hairstyles such as the bob minimize, Eton crop , and the Marcel wave The style was bohemian and forthcoming for its age. Ladies wore their standing in fabric and many it from the mid century hoop skirts to the later bustle in the lovely attire and styles of the Victorian period.
However, hairstyles progressively grew to become higher (fontage hairstyles). Women thus adopted the type of the tailor-made jacket, which improved their posture and confidence, whereas reflecting the requirements of early female liberation. How do designers sell girls clothes – a sense, a lifestyle – that empower and uplift them to speak up every single day?
A-line mini skirts , contrast collar shift dresses, textured tights, low heel flats and tall boots, swing coats and floppy hats. A lot of the Ripper's victims were restricted to wearing a mix of workhouse clothing, solid-offs, and even clothing that had belonged to men; nevertheless, there may have been just a few extra fashionable items in the mix.
I do not perceive why the opposite time intervals saw style within the horrific bathing suits. The show also had a long-lasting impression on vogue, with oversized floral dresses, fitted blazers, and loafers à la Elaine Benes making the rounds lengthy after the show stopped airing.

From barbed wired EU border, with love…
Some time ago I've made a video about barbed wired EU border (link) and here is another episode from the project. I do not know exactly how will it developed, but I feel the need to document the time and place where I live. I enjoy these expeditions so much. Being away from everyone, from everything doing photography, but not being sure if anybody including myself needs those images. As a professional photographer I've developed disfunctionality because photography as a medium is the main source of income and although this is a good thing in the manner I am entitled to devote most of my time to the medium it also creates huge aberration in the process of evaluating the work that I do. This is the aberration I'm mentioning, but I have blind faith that this will pay for my retirement, because social security surely will not.
My next step is to make prints out of the negatives. It will be very different then those digitally converted reproductions, but about that in the next video.
90th birthday of Božena Pelikan, the youngest daughter of famous photographer Josip Pelikan
Today, 16th of September 2012 is the 90th birthday of Božena Pelikan, the youngest daughter of famous photographer Josip Pelikan. As a homage to famous Pelikan family and a humble gratitude to the photographical heritage of Pelikan family, I've made portraits of Mrs. Pelikan. I used Vageeswari 10×12″ camera with sheet film of 8×10″ and a lens Voigtlander Heliar 300mm, f/4,5. For Wet Plate Collodion portraits I used a Plaubel 5×7″ camera and I've made some quick takes also with Mamiya C330, format 6×6.
With Museum of Recent History Celje, we're discussing projects that we might do together and I'm all excited since potentials are enormous! The studio is without a doubt one of the best preserved luxurious glass photographic ateliers in Europe with original equipment used by the famous Slovene photographer Josip Pelikan (1885–1977). More about it on the links bellow.

Red Star T-shirt – Mladinina mikica z rdečo zvezdo
Last week I had to make an advertisement for Mladina's new T-shirt with a red star. Lately in the peak of recession when Slovenia is mentioned to be the sixth EU country that will need to ask for financial help, Prime Minister Janša started his campaign to trivialize National Liberation Front (Red star) and his right wing colleagues are openly glorifying Hitler's collaborators Domobranci. Mladina decided to start selling the T-shirts with red star and trusted me to make a good picture for their campaign. My first idea was to go to Dolenjski muzej and on the exhibition dedicated to partisan resistance find some appropriate angle around guns. But guns were all in show windows and that was not possible. I decided I'll make a very simple image and use the wall with names of over 3000 fallen partisans, activists and victims of o fascistic violence. I'm really happy that this photograph is not only opposing stupid remarks that Slovene Home Guard (Domobranci) soldiers who pledged their service to Hitler and were capturing allied pilots and handing them to SS, were fighting for democracy, but also reminding what red star really represents in history. If you want to buy one HERE is the link.
Prejšen teden sem naredil reklamno fotografijo za Mladinino novo mikico z rdečo zvezdo. KOt veste, na višku recesije, ko je Slovenija omenjana kot potencaialno šesta država, ki bo prisiljena prostiti EU za finančno pomoč, je Premier Janša začel svojo kampanijo za razvrednotenje pomena narodno osvobodilnega boja in simbola rdeče zvezde. Kot veste, so janševci začeli na glas propagirati hitlerjance in Mladina se je odločila, da naredi mikico z rdečo zvezdo. Meni so zaupali, da naredim fotografijo, ki bo uporabljena za oglase. Moja prva ideja je bila, da bi šel v Dolenjski muzej in na razstavi NOB našel nek zorni kot kjer bi lahko posnel mikico in orožje. Na mojo žalost je bilo vse atraktivno orožje v izložbi, ki je nisem mogel odpreti, tako sem se odločil, da naredim popolnoma enostavno fotko, ob spominski plošči, kjer so imena padlih partizanov, aktivistov in drugih žrtev okupatorskega nasilja. Na ta način fotografija nasprotuje fiktivni ideji, da so se hitlerjanci borili za demokracijo, ampak tudi izpostavlja kaj je rdeča zvezda resnično pomenila ljudem!

Govor veleposlanika ZDA Joseph Mussomeli, Križanke, Ljubljana, 3.7.2012,
Few hours ago I was photographing a news event, U.S. Independence Day Celebration in Ljubljana, where U.S. Ambassador to Slovenia Joseph Mussomeli gave a speech that should echo widely. Slovenia is ruled by politicians that are obsessed with ideological differences. They are very successful in their intention to divide Slovenian nation on those who are "with us" and those who are "against us". That is why this speech of ambassador Mussomeli touched me deeply as a voice of reason, so I'm passing it on.
HERE is a link to the scan of the speech, so you can read it.
Pred nekaj urami sem fotografiral dogodek praznovanja obletnice ameriške neodvisnosti, kjer je imel veleposlanik ZDA, Joseph Mussomeli, govor, ki mora odmevati. V teh časih, ko Sloveniji vladajo politične elite, ki so obsedene z ideološkim pravdanjem in so zelo uspešne v razdvajanju ljudi na ta bele in ta rdeče, je prav, da si lahko v miru preberemo to sporočilo in se zamislimo. Ta govor sem dojel kot glas razuma, ki se me je dotaknil, tako ga posredujem naprej.

Theater performance of Siddharta & Anton Podbevšek Teater
Last week an amazing theater performance happened. Theater group Anton Podbevšek Teater and Siddharta rock band made a theater performance ČlovekA z bombami / de-tonacija with author of the concept and director of the show Matjaž Berger. The theater act was devoted to two avantgarde artists from the beginning of 20th century Anton Podbevšek and Srečko Kosovel. Siddharta wrote new music for this occasion and it's fantastic! I hope they will issue a CD with this material! The event happened as an introductory event to a Rock Otočec festival.
The performance was a blast and I hope my photographs do share some vibes with you. More info about the show you can find on Anton Podbevšek Teater site.
PS: For those who understand Slovenian, HERE is a fantastic post about the show.
Cover page of Mladina weekly 22/2012
Let me publish the new cover of Mladina weekly, just so you don't get an impression I discard my digital equipment. Perhaps it's not very obvious to a foreigner, but the shape of the orange is as the silhouette of Slovenia. The text of the cover goes that after 20 years of transition Slovenia is like a squeezed orange.
I was working on this on my own and I didn't had a model, so I dyed my hand black and with the other I was triggering the camera with autofocus. Complicating I tell you. Because of this my wrist is not black, I couldn't rib it with dye.

Workshop of Wet Plate Collodion process in Trieste
Today I've done portraits of a music band Bottomline from Novo mesto, Slovenia. It was a first time after I don't know how many years that I went to take pictures without taking a digital camera with me. I took my 13x18cm Plaubel camera for Wet Plate Collodion and a 4×5″ camera on normal B/W film. If I'm honest I forgot a digital camera at home. Is this normal? Anyhow, here are results. Dušan Smodej was helping me a lot and he's soon abandoning his digital camera and his Leica M3 and start real photography 🙂
I'm excited to announce that together with my mentor for Wet Plate Collodion photograhy, Miša Keskenović we have a workshop in Trieste. It's starting this Sunday, 6.5.2012 at 9:30 and it's going on whole day. We'll go through all aspects of Wet plate Collodion process, from mixing chemicals, cleaning plates, exposing, developing and varnishing a plate. All the secrets revealed for only Price 150,00€ and that includes also working material. More info with Dr. Photo or at email email@example.com . Workshop is limited to 12 people and it's almost full, so hurry!

Eurytrema pancreaticum
"pancreatic fluke"
Distribution: Asia, parts of South America.
Host: Adult fukes are found in the pancreatic ducts of small ruminants, cattle, camels, pigs, and occasionally humans. Flukes are also occasionally found in the bile ducts of liver and small intestine.
Life Cycle: Indirect fluke life cycle, with two intermediate hosts. The eggs produced by adult flukes leave the host in manure. Snails are the first intermediate host. Two generations of sporocysts occur in the snails. These produces cercariae which are deposited on the pasture and such are eaten by grasshoppers. Metacercariae develop in grasshopper or cricket (second intermediate host) transmits the infection when ingested by the final host. Ingestion of infected grasshoppers on pasture as produces infection in cattle.
Diagnosis: Typical flukes are 8 to 16 mm long and to 8.5 mm wide. Bodies are thick, with large suckers. Eggs appear in feces. A sedimentation test will detect the small, brown eggs in the feces.
Size: 44–48 × 23–36 µm
Clinical features: Many infections are subclinical. Heavy worm burdens can cause fibrosis of the ductus and pancreatic atrophy, resulting in weight loss and poor condition. Ducts of pancreas may become inflamed. Eurytrema is not a serious threat unless a herd is very heavily infected. Poor conditions (general malaise, emaciation) may occur in heavily infected animals.
Control: No satisfactory control is available.

Logitech Control Centre 2.7 (one step forwards, two steps backwards) and a trio of diNovos.
When I saw the new version of the Logitech Control Centre (LCC) v2.7, and then spotted that it at least recognized my Windows diNovo Edge keyboard, I thought it was a step forward. It now seems that my excitement was a bit premature and I've now reverted back to the earlier 2.6 version. So why is that?
Well with v2.6 of the LCC, pressing the 'Sleep' key (top left of the keyboard) would pop up a prompt under Leopard giving me some choices – Restart, Sleep, Cancel or Shutdown. Under v2.7 of the software that option has been disappeared and pressing the Sleep key simply puts the Mac straight to sleep.
The second difference is the F12 key. With v2.6 of the LCC software, pressing F12 would eject the CD/DVD tray. Under v2.7 pressing F12 caused Spotlight to open a search results window. I couldn't find a single key (or combination of keys) that would eject the CD/DVD tray and so had to resort to plugging in the aluminium Apple keyboard to a spare USB port in order to be able to open the tray. Sure I could try and load something that would assign the Eject function back to F12 but that would be defeating the object.
Seeing as Logitech Control Centre v2.7 only gave me access to the battery gague and allowed me to adjust the sensitivity of the TouchDisk (which I rarely use), going back to v2.6 seemed to make sense. Maybe v2.8 of the LCC software will be better, who knows. I'm not holding my breath.
On the subject of Logitech and Mac keyboards, not everything is as straightforward as it seems and if you're thinking of buying a 'diNovo' for your Mac then it's worth doing some research. Here's a quick summary of what I've found.
Logitech diNovo Edge (the original Windows version) – Features the TouchDisk and the touch slider volume control. Also features a Fn key for activating extended function key options which illuminate soft orange symbols above the keys when activated. This keyboard will work with a Mac running Leopard OS X 10.5.x with the following limitations – Not recognized by the Logitech Control Centre 2.6 software, the extended function keys will not work, the Windows key (top right) does nothing, the zoom keys (left hand side) do nothing, the 'Sleep' key works, the TouchDisk works and the volume slider works. Recognized by the v2.7 LCC software but only to a degree and lacks programmability. F12 is mapped to 'Eject Disk' with the v2.6 software but to Spotlight with the v2.7 software. Uses bluetooth and includes a USB bluetooth dongle in the box. Uses built-in rechargeable batteries. Has height adjustment. Uses Logitech's PerfectStroke™ key system.
Logitech diNovo Edge Mac Edition – Looks almost identical to the Windows version, but unlike the Windows version it does NOT have the illuminated function keys feature (there is no 'Fn' key). Fully supported by Mac OS X Leopard. Has the correct key labels (e.g. Command, Option, etc.). You can map funtions to the F keys via the LCC software. Have read reports that this version of the keybaord does not use Plexiglass like the Windows version, but uses piano black plastic instead. (I cannot confirm this as I haven't seen the keyboard in the flesh). This keyboard is NOT available in the UK or Europe, contrary to comments on the Logitech US website. By the looks of it, it's also disappeared off the US website now. Uses bluetooth but reportedly does NOT include a bluetooth dongle. Uses built-in rechargeable batteries. Has height adjustment. Uses Logitech's PerfectStroke™ key system.
Logitech diNovo Keyboard Mac Edition – This is essentially a revamped version of the Logitech diNovo Keyboard for Notebooks. Fully supported by Mac OS X Leopard. Does NOT have the illuminated function keys feature (there is no 'Fn' key). Has the correct key labels (e.g. Command, Option, etc.). You can map funtions to the F keys via the LCC software. This keyboard definitely uses black plastic rather than plexiglass, but does have the aluminium wrist rest. It is available in the US and Europe. Does not use bluetooth, uses 2.4GHz RF instead and includes the relevant USB dongle. Uses 3 x (non-rechargeable) AA batteries. Does not have height adjustment. Uses Logitech's PerfectStroke™ key system.
There you have it. The names are a little confusing as they're so similar, but yer pays yer money and takes yer choice. Logitech do make other keyboards that are oficially supported on the Mac, but for my money I really like the PerfectStroke key system and the build quality of the diNovo keyboards is superb. The downside is they are horribly expensive, but it's like choosing a bed – you spend so much time using one that the extra cost is justified. I did try out the Logitech Wave keyboard but it was vile, it felt really plasticky and the key action was more like playing Whack-a-mole than typing. All down to personal preference though.

Dramatic Encounter Lipstick
Holiday collections have already hit all of the shelves this year in mass. Sephora value sets and special palettes are all over the place and MAC's collections have already seen some early sell outs.
MAC's new sets have some definite re-promotes but I did see one lipstick that I just knew I had to have. After my 10 Gorgeous Lipsticks for Fall post, I realized I was really missing a nice deep purple/burgundy for this fall and coming winter. So I grabbed "Dramatic Encounter" from their limited edition Glamour Daze Lipstick collection.
Dramatic Encounter is a MAC Aplified Crème Lipstick, which I believe means that it is supposed to have a creamy moisturizing texture. If someone has more information about that, I'd love for you to comment below! 🙂
The shade itself is described by MAC as a deep purple. Indoors I found it was a very deep purple, at first glance almost black on my lips. But outside in natural light, you can see the red and burgundy tones in it.
The below swatches are all in natural light:
Personally I found it felt quite nice on my lips. Not too creamy as to be a smudge-fest and not too dry as to be uncomfortable. I kept a close eye on it throughout dinner and drinks with my compact and found it wore incredibly well. I was worried about it looking uneven and horrendous throughout the meal, but didn't find that to be the case at all. The shade itself is quite opaque and covers easily with very little fuss. No need to be layering this one on over and over to get the true colour.
Are any of you sporting dark shades like this one this fall?
What holiday sets are you most excited about??

Alexa Egan lives in Maryland with a husband who's waiting impatiently for her fame and fortune to support them in a new and lavish lifestyle, three children for whom she serves as chauffeur, cook, nurse, social secretary, banker, and maid (not necessarily in that order), one cat...and twenty-seven fish. You can find her at www.AlexaEgan.com or on Facebook and Twitter at AlexaEganBooks.
Will their desire conquer evil 's wrath?
Major Gray de Coursy, Earl of Halvossa and exiled heir to the five clans of the Imnada shapechangers, must regain his throne in order to save his people from a deadly war with the Feybloods. First, however, he must break the curse he has lived under since the final chaos of Waterloo. Desperate, he resolves to steal the Imnada's most sacred relic—the mysterious crystal of Jai Idrish—to help him. When he receives a visit from his childhood companion Meeryn Munro, Gray is surprised by her offer of help . . . and by how the girl of his memories has grown to become the woman of his dreams.
None of Meeryn's powers as anointed keeper of Jai Idrish have prepared her for the threat of battle, but it's the passion Gray arouses in her that she finds herself fighting. In a perilous quest spanning two realms, Gray and Meeryn must outwit and outrun a cunning enemy. And only the strength of the warrior, the magic of the priestess, and a love greater than death can reclaim a crown and win them a future together.
The complete collection of Alexa Egan's "not-to-be-missed" (Romantic Times) Imnada Brotherhood novellas—a dark and sexy series about a clan of shape-shifters living secretly as humans.
Awaken the Curse
University student James Farraday and professor's daughter Katherine Lacey embark on a curse-ridden quest to find Katherine's father, who vanished while studying a mysterious ancient obelisk. As they unravel the mystery, legends point to the existence of the Imnada, a race of shape-shifters said to have died off a thousand years ago. Or is the professor's disappearance the result of a very human villain? Soon James and Kate's search for the truth means fighting for their lives. Yet every hour they spend together exploring the past leads them to a very present and irresistible temptation…
Unleash the Curse
Neither actress Sarah Haye nor London's most eligible bachelor, Sebastian Commin, the Earl of Deane has ever forgotten their scandalous night of white hot passion—and the differences that make a future together impossible. Yet they find themselves back together as they try to solve the mystery of a brutal attack on an Imnada shape-shifter and a sinister entity known as the Naxos. When the Naxos strike again, Sarah realizes she's willing to risk a little scandal to save the world…and the man she loves.
Vanquish the Curse
Lady Estelle Swann didn't come to London in search of a husband. Instead she's here hunting for one of the magical Keys of Gylferion in hopes of preventing a war between Fey-blood and shape-shifter. So when the notorious scoundrel Lt. Jack Ramsay turns his dangerous charms her way, she's more than a little suspicious. But he's after something else—something that leads the couple on a mission both complicated and deadly. Soon Estelle and Jack find themselves fighting not only unseen enemies but their own very dangerous attraction…
Can the magic of desire defeat the powers of darkness?
Forced by her half brother to use her dark gift of necromancy for profit, lovely Callista Hawthorne is determined to flee to her one chance for safety, her aunt in Scotland. With no hope of success unless she finds help on the long road north, she offers cursed shapechanger David St. Leger an irresistible bargain.
David—one of the mysterious Imnada—stalks the night streets of Regency London as a large black wolf. Renounced by his own kind, he spends his desperate rage on thieves and murderers. While Callista's proposal will allow him to escape the terrible enchantment binding him, agreeing to her terms will force him into the treacherous world of the half-Fey Other, his clan's ancient foes.
Drawn together by danger, David and Callista find passion in each other's arms. But can they forswear the centuries of enmity separating their two races, and find a love they dare not even imagine?
Only available as an enovella, the prequel to the second novel in the dark and sexy Imnada Brotherhood trilogy about shapeshifters in Regency-era England.
Neither actress Sarah Hayes nor London's most eligible bachelor Sebastian Commin, Earl of Deane, has ever forgotten their one and only scandalous night of white hot passion or the differences in their social positions that make a future together impossible. So when they discover that they'll be fellow guests at a house party, they vow to keep each other at arm's length. A vow broken when they find themselves caught up in a mystery involving a brutal attack on an Imnada shape-shifter and an unexplained entity known as the Naxos.
Each clue they uncover reveals more about the ancient Imnada enemy—monstrous soul-feeders with the power to devour worlds. Each fiery encounter between the aristocrat and the entertainer underscores the raw desire that crackles the very air between them until Sebastian is convinced to make Sarah his wife, no matter the cost to his reputation. He just needs to convince Sarah, who cares for him too much to allow his future to be ruined by marrying a low-born actress. It's only when the sinister Naxos strike again and Sebastian's life is threatened that Sarah realizes she's willing to risk a little scandal in order to save the world…and the man she loves.
She holds the key . . .
One of the mythical race of shape-shifting Imnada and a member of an elite military unit, Captain Mac Flannery suffers under a ruthless curse. As the result of a savage massacre on the eve of Waterloo, he and the men he served with are forced to live the hours of darkness trapped as their animal aspects. Now one of them has been murdered, and Mac suspects the existence of the Imnada may finally have been discovered. His only link to unearthing the truth—Bianca Parrino, the beautiful actress whom every man desires.
. . . to his forbidden desires
Forging a new life for herself after escaping the clutches of her abusive husband, Bianca is again drawn into violence when a dear friend is brutally murdered and she becomes a suspect. Forced to place her trust and her life in Mac's hands as they flee a determined killer, Bianca cannot deny she is falling for the mysterious soldier. But will his dark secrets tear them asunder? Or will love be the key to breaking even the cruelest of spells?
Now available only as an eBook, the dark and sexy prequel to the Imnada Brotherhood series about a clan of shape-shifters and telepaths living secretly as humans for centuries.
One very passionate and very scandalous kiss separated university student James Farraday and professor's daughter Katherine Lacey. Now five years later, James, the new Lord Duncallan, receives an unexpected summons from Kate's father begging him to come to Wales. When James arrives, he finds Professor Lacey has vanished while studying a mysterious ancient obelisk and everyone blames the nightwalkers; sinister creatures said to haunt the surrounding remote Welsh mountains. Do these legends point to the existence of the Imnada; a race of shape-shifters said to have died off a thousand years ago? Or is the professor's disappearance the result of a very human villain? James and Kate are determined to find out the truth, knowing it may be the only way to find her father.
Even as they work to unravel the mystery, they find that they're not the only ones interested in the obelisk and the lost race of Imnada. Treasure hunter Gilles d'Espe believes the ancient dolmen is the focal point of the shape-shifters' power and would do anything to lay his hands on the last of four silver disks he needs to unlock the dolmen. A disk that hangs around the neck of James Farraday. While Cade, a local villager, is determined to refute both the claims of nightwalker sightings and the power of the dolmen as superstitious nonsense.
James and Kate soon find themselves fighting for their lives. Yet every hour they spend together makes it harder to lay aside the bitterness of the past and a very new and very real temptation…

A group of graduates of a prestigious university, successful, who made a remarkable career, came to visit their old professor. During the visit, the conversation turned to the work: graduates complained of numerous difficulties and life problems.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a coffee pot and a tray, filled with a variety of cups: porcelain, glass, plastic. Some were simple, others – exquisite and expensive.
When the graduates dismantled the cups, the professor said:
– Note that all the beautiful cups are dismantled, while the cheap ones are left. And although this approach is normal for you – want for yourself only the best, but this is the source of your problems and stresses. Understand that the cup itself will not make the coffee tasty. Most often it's just expensive, but sometimes it even hides what we drink. In fact, you wanted coffee, not a cup. But deliberately chose the best cups, and then looked at who got what.
And now think: life is coffee, and work, money, position in society – cups. These are just tools to sustain life. The fact that we have a cup does not determine and does not change the quality of our existence. Sometimes, concentrating only on a cup, we forget to enjoy the taste of the coffee itself.
The happiest people are not those who have all the best, but those who extract all the best from what they have.
Every time you feel that you have lost peace of mind and happiness, this means one thing: you are doing something wrong or talking. Man is very complicated. Feelings of well-being and disease, pleasure and unhappiness can be caused by a myriad of factors. Your inner sense of happiness is the best indicator that tells you what to look for and what to avoid.
Failures in life are like pain for the body. They are sent to warn: what you are doing is not good for you.
Three Myths of Happiness
People do not listen to themselves for many reasons. For some reason, they refuse to use the sense of happiness as an indicator on which one can judge the events of life. There were three main myths about happiness, and each of us is to some extent subject to it.
The first myth. Happiness is something not deserved by you
The main thing is that it was for others, and yours will wait. Many people are adamant in their conviction that happiness can not be the goal of life: goals are one, and happiness is different, not everyone is given. They believe that it is more important to make others happy than oneself.
This opinion does not make sense. People are focused on happiness, focused on maintaining and increasing its level. We are arranged so that our emotions are affected by everything we do. Undeniable is the fact that you can not give people more than you have. Just as you can not give money to the poor, if you do not have it, you can not make someone happy if you are unhappy. The best way to guarantee happiness to others is to become happy yourself and then share it with them.[caption id="attachment_925" align="aligncenter" width="268"] myths about happiness[/caption]
Somehow one wise man walked along the road, admiring the beauty of nature and eating all the joys of life. And suddenly he saw a hunched, unhappy man carrying a heavy burden.
"Why do you, a strange man, condemn yourself to these torments?" Asked the sage.
"I suffer for the sake of the happiness of my children and grandchildren," the man answered with pride. – Suffered all: and great-grandfather for the sake of happiness of the grandfather, and the grandfather for the sake of happiness of the father, and the father for the sake of my happiness. And now it's my turn to make the children and grandchildren happy.
– And who was happy in your family? The sage asked him.
– Well no. But I believe that my children or grandchildren will someday be happy! The unfortunate man answered sadly.
– Yes, the illiterate can not learn to read, and the mole is not destined to raise an eagle! The sage said quietly. – First you need to learn to be happy yourself. Then you will understand how to make children and grandchildren happy!
There are many books that repeat this theme. They say that we justify life on earth only if we make someone happy. In some ways this is true, there is something in it.
It is true to the extent that serving others is one of the main goals of man. This is how we acquire the sense of significance, the meaning of existence. The realization that we are doing something for someone gives us a sense of freedom, we rise above boredom and routine. Paraphrasing R.L. Stevenson, you can say: "Everyone makes a living by serving someone." However, the point is that the ministry should come from your overflow with happiness.
Yes, we must serve others, but we need to receive joy and satisfaction ourselves. One of the requirements of high self-esteem and confidence is the feeling that we are contributing to the world in which we live, that we give more than we take. Thus, we serve others to be more happy ourselves.
The third myth about happiness is that happiness should be what someone else represents it
Often we feel uncomfortable if we do not experience the joy of some event that, in the opinion of others, should make us happy. Many people allow parents to influence career choices, and as a result suffer. They want to please their loved ones, but they are not able to experience positive emotions from what they are doing.
Life and happiness resemble a buffet. If 100 people come to such a table and put themselves on the plates of the food they want, then each will have its own set of products. Even the husband and wife would return with plates full of completely different.
Happiness looks about the same. It is made up of many different components – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Each person requires a special combination of them to feel happy.
Happiness is in your hands! Be positive, active creators of your life. In the evening, think about what happened during the day, even a small trifle can raise your spirits, do not miss these moments!]]>

I decided to stretch this pretty designer paper by Graphic 45 for this CAS Colours and Sketches Challenge #287. You may have noticed I flipped the challenge sketch horizontally so that I would not lose any of the pretty florals on the DP. I layered this up with two tones of cardbase and backed it by black to coordinate the black cardstock base. I used a bright white for the Cuttlebug embossed background. The sentiment is a new favorite from the Echo Park "Loving Expressions" set.

The first picture is so relaxing just to look at. It is a great scenic shot of boats from Australia. I just keep imagining myself relaxing and watching the boats. I feel inspired by this picture to design something made of plaid in a relaxing combination of colors. I love the gray-ish blue in this picture, and the green from the trees. I can imagine it with an off-white.
Here is the plaid design so far:
The second picture I have in mind to work with is this one from the gardens:
I already have the yarn picked out from my vacation to Utah.
I originally designed this:
But I'm not sure how to weave something like this. It would be easy if I were making a quilt!
So now I want to focus on the stripes in the leaves and the elongation of them. I picked out this pattern from page 56 in the "Eight shafts: A Place to Begin" and really like it but it does have a few flaws:
The only thing I worry about is the length of some of those float threads in the purple color. Some are WAY long.... like 12 threads long and what's strange is that the picture in the book doesn't seem to have these floats.... weird.
Anyway, I'm glad to have finally narrowed down the choices! I have about a month to finish the project. No problemo!

Continued from the last episode:
In the last few episodes we have dealt with the things that we should add to knowledge and as a result be fruitful in the knowledge of Christ. However, it is important for us to look into the things we are asked to put off as believers. Those things that are considered as loads that weighs the believer down. The instruction says put off, again it suggests that it is the responsibility of the believer not God's. This is coming up because many have been misled that the gospel of grace is an opportunity for one to live his life the way and manner he or she so desires, this is a fallacy and should not be accepted. This we shall be discussing in another topic but for now let's see what Apostle Paul said to the Colossians in his epistle to them and I quote "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;" (Colossians 3:8-9). And to the Ephesians Apostle Paul wrote thus; and I quote "But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;" (Ephesians 4:20-22).
Related article:
Christ is Your Environment (Part Ten) Understanding 1 Peter 1:5-10 In The Light Of Christ
Let's start with the last quotation before we go into most of the things he said we should put off in the former quotation. Here he made mention of things like, not so learned Christ, been taught by Him, the truth is in Jesus, putting off the former conversation the old man, corrupt according to the deceitful lusts and then be renewed in the spirit of your mind. These are cogent points or statement one shouldn't just overlooked but consider while reading these texts. We have not so learned Christ and been taught by Him, implies that, Jesus Christ should be the standard for every believer. Whatever the believer sees in Christ is what he should go for and never veers from it. The truth is in Jesus, infers that Jesus Christ is the reality and that there is not fakeness in Him, what He says He is, is what He is and no two ways about it. Therefore, a believer in Christ should as a matter of fact replicate what he sees in Him and as a result should not be anything less than true. And because the truth is in Christ and the believer has learn of Him there is no way a life of corruption should be found in the believer hence the important step of putting off the former conversation which is the life he has lived before coming into Christ. This former life or nature is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts in the world which is engineered in the mind of the former man or old man, and for the new man who is now in Christ to be well established the tendency is there for renewal of his mind. This is where the life in Christ begins, yes in the mind, once the mind is renewed, there is an assurance that whatever that is learned of Christ must be established and remains.
You may not like to miss this article:
The New Testament Unfolds The Mysteries Of Eternal Life
When the mind of the believer has been renewed, putting off these things mentioned in the above quotations will not be a glitch for him, in the sense that the ability has be built in him. So we begin to look at the things to put off and why we should put them off. Firstly, let me begin to answer why, Like said in the earlier episodes, a believer is someone who has heard the gospel of Christ and believed in it. The action to believe is a function of faith in the word preached and it brings him into the fold of Christ and he is sealed with the Holy Ghost as God's property. Since he has believed the word preached to him, he's now born of the Word or the Spirit and as a result should live in and by the Word or the Spirit. Which implies that his nature becomes what the Word or the Spirit offers him and whatever the Word or the Spirit has to offer will not be something he has to put off but be established in. That is to say whatever he has to put off will not be anything of the Word or the Spirit, and anything not emanating from the Word or the Spirit is known as carnal or flesh, see (Galatians 5:19).
So these things we are asked to put off are the carnal things and because they are not of the Word or the Spirit we should as a matter fact put them off and these includes Anger and wrath. Now why must we put off anger and wrath, notice that this two attributes stem from the same source and one and the same in nature. Apostle James says in his epistle that, I quote "For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God."(James 1:20). Therefore, a believer supposed to put off anger and wrath because they don't showcase the righteousness of God in the believer. These two doesn't reflect the nature of Christ who the believer has learned and therefore they should be done away with.
