text: At last a good documentary. And about women. I really enjoyed this Palestinian film. It follows five young, Palestinian women who compete in the male-dominated car racing scene. We meet Marah, Betty, Marsoon, Noor and Mona as they compete in a series of races to be the fastest women champion and also the chance to compete in Jordan. Although all five are competitive, it is Marah and Betty who are the key protagonists. They are the fastest two and winning the championship, we can see, means more than being in a team together.

Our client feedback is our most important asset. Before you hire us, see what our clients are saying about our work!!
Deb and Gala occasions were one of the best parts of my wedding! Deb helped me prior to the big day with planning and the day of coordination. She helped me establish a detailed timeline so that everything went smoothly!
We got married in a park and the day of there was a rock concert happening around the time of my wedding very close by. Deb went out of her way and called the concert to ask them to start 15 minutes late!! It's very rare to find someone so caring, thoughtful and wonderful on this earth I am so happy I found Deb to help me with my perfect wedding!
My wedding day was the best day of my life and I know Deb and gala occasions had a lot to do with that! Jen H
I can't say enough about Gala occasion they went above and beyond my expectations. The week before my daughter's wedding Debbie made sure all the vendors left us alone and she handled everything. She made everything run smoothly on the day of the wedding (even though there were a few unforeseen obstacles) and we were never the wiser. All of the vendors we used were extremely pleased with the professionalism of this company and expressed interest in working with it in the future. I would highly recommend this company! Please feel free to reach out to me for more information/questions.

The God Of A Reprise
One undeniable fact about me is that I love music. More specifically, I love a good song. Dig a little deeper for a song and you might be blessed to come across one with a reprise. Now, we're cooking with gas! I adore a reprise because deeply embedded is the sensation of time standing still and a whisper of just how good something experienced is not yet over. While the technical definition of a reprise is a repeat of something, in actuality when a reprise occurs there is an enhanced, elongated and extraordinary repeat of what just occurred. Consider one of my favorites, Total Praise, by Richard Smallwood. You may believe the song is over with the benediction of Amen, but when the music cranks back up and choir belts, "You Are" the experience is even more powerful than before. My other favorites include, Sovereign God by Maurette Brown Clark, Awesome God by Windsor Village Choir and Yes by Shekinah Glory.
There is foundational worship within the reprise. The fallow ground has been broken and if you pay attention through your spiritual eyes, you can experience and witness a shift in the atmosphere. It is the space and time whereby the soul is crying out, whereby the heart is being revealed and the authentic self shows herself. In that moment of reprise, God is still moving, drawing, liberating, healing, delivering, emptying, filling, fueling, restoring and revealing. Sometimes the reprise happens during service, other times, after as people are dismissing from the service, and finally, God is just bold and loving enough to perform the reprise at home in your living room long after the service has ended. Have you ever considered the possibility of your boldness going forth and giving God a reprise to the same extent that he offers to you? Let me explain.
A song that is getting plenty of air time right now is, "Same God…If He Did It Before." The song compels us to remember that if God did something before, he has the ability for a repeat performance in our lives. As believers, seasoned or sprinkled, we come to expect God to always take care of us and repeat blessings over our lives. We have much scripture to support our theory. We go to Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." We insert whatever "need" we desire and use this as a step stool to our blessing. We flip back to Romans 2:11: "For there is no respect of persons with God" and use this as a yardstick to justify us getting the same blessing as someone else. And yet, while this theory into practice is expected for God, I can't help but wonder what is God's expectation of us?
When was the last time you offered God a reprise? When did you pray longer and more in relation to who God is and not what (insert name) wants? Have you been bodacious enough to praise God when the music has stopped, not caring what people around you are doing? Have you laid prostrate until you heard the voice of God in your innermost being? All too often, we want to move on to the next, all while missing the blessing of the reprise…that enhanced, elongated and extraordinary place in worship where one can feel the very presence of God in the atmosphere. God shows up for repeat performances daily in our lives! Can we show up for him to the same extent? Can we move aside our personal agenda for a moment to give God our best? After all, he already knows. He desires for us to praise and worship him outside of the confines of Sunday morning. Our reprise in God can make the difference of an expected, repeated blessing or an unexpected revolutionary blessing!
We must become consistent and not complacent in our relationship with God. We must not allow the circumstances of life to weigh on our hearts and minds so much so that we are unable when called upon to give God his due. The Word tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength! We build our strength in our reprise. When we reprise to God, we are calling out for his attention. We must be careful in this application from theory to practice. I am not suggesting that we give God a repeat performance. Although he wakes us daily, each day is different an unique – and so should our praise be. And once we finish praising him, we make ourselves vulnerable enough to receive the greater.
A lady in my church had a God encounter during service that resulted in her giving God a full display of her gratitude. When she finished, she told me, "I've never had that happen to me before!" That's the crux of the reprise. It does not result in a repeat performance, but instead a "never had that happen before experience." If God is blessing in the normal, can you only imagine how he might show up in response to our reprise? Consider reprising this week and see won't God reprise over you!
Check out one of my favorite reprises (specifically 5:57). What are your favorites?

We try to live our values every day, be socially responsible, give back to society and reach out to our community as well. The reason we contribute to Alianza Anticancer Infantil A.B.P. is to support children with cancer and their families.
Giving back to society, living our values, being socially responsible
Our company has supported for close to two years now the nonprofit Alianza Anticancer Infantil, a charity association stablished in Monterrey, MX that helps people from all over our country providing with a complete cancer treatment for people with no resources, they have been doing this for the past 22 years.
The way this association funds itself to provide to others is thru recycling, they receive many kinds of materials, like plastic lids and/or PET, which can be sold to recycling centers for obtaining economic funds. After that, they are able to provide nutritional and psychological support, host and transportation for kids from 0 to 21 years old free of charge, they provide this to people who don't have resources enough for their treatments.
This is how Definity First found an activity that is perfect for us to participate giving back to the community with just a little daily task like to put in a recycling bin all that special materials which help to improve the life-quality of some kids with cancer in our community, as plastic bottles, soda cans, screw caps, and batteries.
As we can see, since our first donations in December 2015 to now, our team is always engaged with this actions, so here is where we say "collaboration makes us better'', and we are pretty sure that 2017 will be a year when we increase al lot our engagement and contribution to the cause.

This post has been edited and expanded. The full version can be found here.
There seems to be a great deal of confusion among non-Christians about the meaning of the word "faith" in a Christian context. The prominent atheist evangelist Richard Dawkins writes that: "Faith, being belief that isn't based on evidence, is the principle vice of any religion." And further: "[whereas] scientific belief is based upon publicly checkable evidence, religious faith not only lacks evidence; its independence from evidence is its joy, shouted from the rooftops". And thus we see that for Dawkins (and many atheists), religious faith is blind faith.
But such a view is totally at odds with the view of faith presented in the Bible and maintained throughout mainstream Christianity. The biblical narrative is full of references to faith based overwhelmingly on evidence. This was the whole reason that the apostle John wrote his gospel: "these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name" (John 20:31, NIV). Francis Collins, former head of the Human Genome Project, says that Dawkins' definition of faith "certainly does not describe the faith of most serious believers in history, nor most of those in my personal acquaintance." Throughout the Bible we see this theme: you have been given evidence, so believe.
On the topic of evidence, we often see the charge that "Faith is opposed to science". As both a scientist and a Christian, I find that to be patently false. Firstly, we must understand the rightful position of science on the topic. The great evolutionary proponent T. H. Huxley coined the word agnostic to describe not only his own personal philosophy, but also the necessary stance of science. He wrote,
"Agnosticism is of the essence of science, whether ancient or modern. It simply means that a man shall not say he knows or believes that which he has no scientific grounds for professing to know or believe. Consequently Agnosticism puts aside not only the greater part of popular theology, but also the greater part of anti-theology."
This is not to say that science can never contribute to faith. Among the central issues of the Christian credo are belief in the historical truth of certain events. I believe that Jesus was a real person, that he lived around 2000 years ago, that he was crucified under the orders of Pontius Pilate, then the Roman Procurator of Judea. I believe that God raised him from the dead, and that he appeared physically to hundreds of people after his resurrection. There are many other things that I believe about Jesus, but I offer these as a starting point, not only because they are all verifiable by historical and archaeological evidence, but because all my other beliefs about Jesus hinge on his death and resurrection. The apostle Paul, preaching to the gentiles in Athens, explains that the resurrection of Jesus was "proof to all" of God's plans. In his letter to the church in Corinth, Paul is even more explicit: "if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless." (1 Cor. 15:14, NLT). But the scientific contributions to the question of the death and resurrection of Jesus, principally through archaeology and textual criticism of the historical records, overwhelmingly endorse the beliefs I have stated above. There is evidence, so I believe.
On broader issues, such as the existence of a God who created the universe, science is in a far more difficult position. I have already discussed in a previous post how Stephen Jay Gould articulated so clearly that:
"Science simply cannot (by its legitimate methods) adjudicate the issue of God's possible superintendence of nature. We neither affirm nor deny it; we simply can't comment on it as scientists."
The tools of science are unequipped to deal with the supernatural and the unobservable. Sir Peter Medawar, Nobel laureate in Medicine, noted that:
"The existence of a limit to science is, however, made clear by its inability to answer childlike elementary questions … such as 'How did everything begin?'; 'What are we all here for?'; 'What is the point of living?'"
Furthermore, for any postulated experiment to determine God's existence, we have what I would term the isolation problem. That is to say, scientific experiments rely on experimental controls: if we wanted to determine the existence or lack of existence of God in an experiment, we would need another experiment in which God didn't exist, to which we could compare our results. But God is present in the entirety of existence. He is not just the Creator but the Sustainer of the universe. Imagine a creature which lived its whole life under water and could not exist without water, attempting to eliminate "wetness" from an experiment.
Acceptance of evidence: the real issue
In fact, the perceived lack of "evidence" for the Christian faith generally arises from an a priori decision that any evidence pointing towards the truth of Christianity must automatically be rejected. When the "Big Bang" theory was first proposed, it was met with staunch opposition from atheists on principle, rather than on scientific grounds, because it would lend support to the idea that the universe had a specific beginning, and thus force the issue of God's creation into the picture. An endless universe could ignore the need to explain its beginning, but a universe with a definite and identifiable starting point could no longer bypass this issue. When the cosmic microwave background was discovered, the validity Big Bang theory was accepted as being conclusively demonstrated, but the same objectionists simply moved on to other semantic arguments and ignored the theological implications.
Jesus himself referred to this phenomenon: in chapter 16 of Luke's gospel, he tells the story of a man who has died and is suffering in hell, and he begs that someone rise from the dead to go and warn his brothers of the truth. He is told that the prophets and the scriptures already give all the information his brothers need. But, he says, if someone from the dead goes to them, then they will believe. To which the reply comes:
"If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead." (Luke 16:31, NIV)
For those less insistent on keeping our eyes closed, every facet of the universe is a glorious testament to God's creation. Even T. H. Huxley acknowledged that:
"… true Agnosticism will not forget that existence, motion, and law-abiding operation in nature are more stupendous miracles than any recounted by the mythologies, and that there may be things, not only in the heavens and earth, but beyond the intelligible universe, which 'are not dreamt of in our philosophy'."
Or, as the psalmist phrased it:
"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." (Psalm 19:1, NIV)
Is that a statement of science? No. But so much of what makes life glorious is inaccessible to science, and it really would be a shame to just ignore it all.
As for me, I do not take a blind leap of faith. The path ahead is thoroughly illuminated by historical evidence, scientific insight and personal experience, and I see clearly where I am choosing to walk.

South Korean director Kim Ki-Duk has a thing for morally ambiguous situations. Many of his films are built around characters or relationships that openly chafe against accepted social mores. His provocative tales challenge his audience to either accept what they are watching or to look away from it. There is little in between.
2005's The Bow (Hwal) isn't as harsh as some of his other movies. There is no squirm-inducing self-immolation a la The Isle or repugnant thugs like in Bad Guy, but for some, this may make The Bow even more uncomfortable. Especially as the movie starts rather quietly, taking us deeper into the damaged psychological construct without the shocking flashpoints that might warn us of what's to come.
Ten years ago, a fifty-year-old fisherman (Jeon Sung-Hwan) found a lost six-year-old girl (Han Yeo-Reum) and took her onto his fishing barge. Over the next decade, she hasn't stepped off the ship once. The fisherman has cared for her, teaching her the tools of the trade and developing a rapport with his young ward. As with many Ki-Duk characters, they are both nameless and silent, referred to as only "old man" and "girl," wordlessly communicating with one another in ways outsiders can't understand.
And there are outsiders aplenty. The old man, now pushing sixty, shuttles recreational fishers from the shore to his boat, where they drop their lines and trawl for deep-sea game. Now that the girl is sixteen, though, these customers are starting to notice her. She is very attractive, and too naïve to understand her own budding sensuality. Thinking they'll have an easy time getting their way with a mute girl on an old pervert's boat, they make their moves on the girl, only to be shot at with arrows by the old man.
This is where the title The Bow comes from. An archery bow. It also refers to the bow the pair uses to play music, turning their weapon over and running this sharper string over it, thus creating beauty out of danger--not unlike their relationship. A third bow, of course, would be the bow of the boat itself. All of these are symbols of strength, and as the Buddhist psalm Ki-Duk throws on the screen before the end credits suggests, one should strive to live with such power.
While there are no sexual relations between the old man and the girl, there is definitely the threat of that kind of thing. He bathes her, an act that was probably once innocent but no longer appears as such now that her body has developed. He also intends to marry her when she reaches seventeen, the legal age, and he is slowly buying the pieces of her wedding dress, locking them in a cabinet with her future, only to be retrieved on his say-so. These plans could get derailed, however, as the girl is noticing how the other men look at her, and she is hearing them when they tell her there is a world beyond the boat. The final catalyst comes in the form of a young student (Seo Ji-Seok). He is closer to her own age, and he gives her a music player and headphones, a physical example of the life she has yet to experience. Angry, the old man throws the player away, subjecting the girl to his own frenzied playing, forcing her to listen only to the music he demands of her. She keeps wearing the headphones, however, hearing the sounds of a life she's denied even without being plugged in to anything.
The student makes it his mission to rescue the girl from the barge, but he's got more to contend with than he realizes. There is a deep connection between the man and the girl, an almost spiritual bond that only they comprehend. Some travelers ask for their fortunes to be read by the pair, and to do so, they undertake a bizarre ritual. The girl sits in a swing hanging over the side of the boat, and as she rocks back and forth, the old man fires arrows past her and into the hull of the ship and its painting of a Buddha. The girl removes the arrows, somehow divining the mystical message from their pattern. She whispers the fortune into the old man's ear, and then he whispers it to the subject. It's the only time either of them speak, but we never hear it. It's the chain of communication that the student has to break, remove the middleman and speak to the girl directly.
There are many obvious resolutions to The Bow that Ki-Duk could have gone for, and just reading this, you have probably formed your own opinion on how you would like or expect the story to tie up. The writer/director keeps challenging us right up to the end, though, never telegraphing what his next move is. While common wisdom says the situation has a simple black-and-white morality, a Kim Ki-Duk movie swirls all of that around until the colors are too muddy to be that cleanly divided. The final act of the movie has multiple switch-ups that are somewhat unsettling in that they defy us to predict what steps the three characters will take to get what they want. Not only will it surprise you as a narrative, but it may surprise you with how you react, as well.
The anamorphic widescreen transfer on The Bow is flawless. No combing or edge enhancement, no spots or scratches, and strong colors make it a really excellent looking DVD.
Tartan has also given its customers very good sound options, providing both a Dolby Surround and a DTS mix of the original Korean audio in 5.1. The atmosphere is rich, taking advantage of all your speakers.
Subtitles are in English and Spanish.
A photo gallery, trailer, and a four-sided chapter insert, as well as three trailers for other Tartan DVD releases.
There is also a 35-minute "The Making of The Bow" that features interviews with Kim Ki-Duk and actress Han Yeo-Reum alongside footage of the director at work on set with his actors.
Kim Ki-Duk is a provocative South Korean auteur whose prolific output (this is his twelfth feature and he's made two since) doesn't always strike the bullseye, but he rarely fails to make his audience think. The Bow is an example of him being completely on target. A morality play about the relationship of an old man and a young girl, it challenges the audience's preconceptions about what it means to be together and how age influences our choices. More than just a parable, though, The Bow is a good story that uses many of the director's singular personality quirks to give us complex characters in a compelling environment. Highly Recommended.

The State Department on Monday called for the release of The Washington Post's Iran correspondent, Jason Rezaian, who was detained last week in Tehran along with his wife and two others for undetermined reasons.
Jen Psaki, a spokeswoman for the State Department, said Washington had asked the Swiss government, which helps with U.S. consular cases in Iran, for assistance in Rezaian's case. The United States and Iran do not have formal diplomatic relations.
"We call on the Iranian government to immediately release Mr. Rezaian and the other three individuals," Psaki said Monday afternoon during a State Department news briefing.
The Post's executive editor, Martin Baron, said last week that the newspaper was "mystified" and "deeply concerned" about the arrest, which an Iranian judicial official confirmed Friday.
Rezaian, 38, who holds American and Iranian citizenship, has been The Post's correspondent in Tehran since 2012. His wife, Yeganeh Salehi, 30, is a correspondent for the National newspaper, which is based in the United Arab Emirates.
Salehi's parents, Fatemeh Talaeee and Koroush Salehi, issued a statement over the weekend expressing concern about the detentions.
"Yeganeh and Jason love Iran and have always tried to show a fair picture of the country in their reporting," the couple said. "As their parents we have the right to know how they are after six days. We do not know why they are being held but we are certain they have done nothing wrong and would never do anything against Iran."
Rezaian was born and raised in Marin County, in the San Francisco Bay area. He and his older brother Ali had relatively little exposure to their Iranian father's homeland until Jason was in his 20s and their dad started going home for visits.
"Once my dad went back the first time, Jason became very interested in it," Ali Rezaian said in a phone interview from San Francisco. "He started studying Farsi on his own."
After completing his studies at the New School, a university in New York, in 2000, Jason Rezaian began spending long stretches in Iran, where he worked as a freelance journalist for Western news organizations and helped produce a documentary called "A World Between."
At the time, there was some optimism that Iran was becoming more welcoming to dual nationals and the international community in general, Ali Rezaian said.
"It was really important to him that people understand what life was like in Iran," he said.
Jason Rezaian's roots in Iran deepened several years ago when he met Salehi, who is Iranian, through mutual friends in the journalism community. The two got married in April 2013 in Iran, in a wedding that blended Jason's bi-national family and Salehi's more traditional one.
"The wedding was beautiful," Ali Rezaian said. "Everyone had a wonderful time; it was a wonderful ceremony."
The pair have been particularly drawn to feature stories about issues that are not in the news but give readers a taste of modern Iran.
Salehi, for instance, recently filed a piece on the controversy ignited by an Iranian imitation of the hit American television series "Modern Family." One of Rezaian's most recent reports was about surging enthusiasm in Iran for baseball.
As one of the few American-born journalists in Iran, Rezaian was keenly aware of the rigorous rules and procedures foreign correspondents must follow to remain accredited as journalists in the country. He and his wife were mindful of the risks of reporting in a country where the news media is tightly controlled, his brother said.
"Jason is aware of the rules and what he was licensed to do," he said. "They respected the process put in place there."
In recent months, the couple planned to start spending significant periods of time in the United States, where Salehi has been approved for permanent residency. They were planning to travel Saturday, Ali Rezaian said. Instead of hosting a homecoming, relatives spent the weekend scrambling for news and leads about the case.
"At this point, the government hasn't told us where they are being held or what they're being questioned about," the brother said.
Hamid Babaei, a spokesman for the Iranian mission at the United Nations, did not respond to an e-mail Monday. Officials have not provided information about the arrest of another couple detained that night, a female photojournalist and her husband. Relatives said Monday that contrary to earlier reports, the husband does not work as a journalist.
News of the arrests has brought back grim memories to Roxana Saberi, an American-Iranian journalist who was detained in 2009 while working in Tehran. Saberi, who works for Al Jazeera America in New York, recalls being interrogated while blindfolded during sessions that dragged on for days.
Detained journalists are often held in solitary confinement, coerced to make false confessions and urged to disclose sensitive information about colleagues and acquaintances, Saberi said in an interview Monday.
"The uncertainty is one of the scariest parts," she said. "They can make you believe that you can stay there for 10, 20 years or even get the death penalty if you don't cooperate."
Saberi said Iranian officials urge detainees to tell their relatives not to publicize their plight. She said she's glad her relatives and supporters didn't abide by that request.
"I haven't seen many cases where staying quiet has helped," she said. "In high-profile cases like this, it seems the more of a public outcry there is, the better. I believe there are decision-makers in Iran that do care" about the international backlash.

A nun tends to the candles on Putuoshan, the island the place the goddess of Mercy and Compassion is said to come from. A few of the walls and buildings within the Seattle Underground have road signs and addresses which helped to provide orientation as we made our manner by the maze of underground tunnels and passageways. From as early as 1888, the tower grew to become a help for firework displays and light-weight was considered to be an artwork kind in itself, to the point that the sunshine displays have been placed beneath copyright. No problem Alun. I was following it at work so I knew the consequence. Thanks for the priority. I've toured the Lexington and support the restoration of the Ranger – now in need of funds.

Nationwide Zoo: This one also started and ended on our itinerary! Nonetheless we picked a busy day (Saturday) and a scorching one (even though we went in the morning!). We only went to see the Pandas however we have been still there 2 hours (start to finish). The Panda house allowed you to see them up shut and the surface setting enabled you to see them of their pure habitat. The Panda house was very crowded and it was tough to keep up with eight ladies (even with 7 adults!). My advice would be if you are visiting the Zoo together with your troop, do it on a weekday.
Shan….That is positively great information. It appears to me this tour could possibly be solely optimistic and helpful for each particular person to experience. We just by no means know when we is likely to be ready to help and/or care for a affected person/particular person with dementia. Just having the information to cross on to others is a bonus.

Would we lie to you?
The Defense Department last week appeared to back away from a policy that would put out information intended to mislead foreign reporters for strategic purposes.
The issue attracted media attention after The New York Times
reported that Defense's Office of Strategic Influence planned to plant false items in foreign media in an effort to influence public sentiment and policymakers in both friendly and unfriendly countries.
The alleged policy drew immediate criticism. In a letter to Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, the Radio-Television News Directors Association said, "Not only would lying undermine the credibility of the Defense Department's public affairs office, it also would undermine the credibility of the United States in the world's eyes."
RTNDA President Barbara Cochran told Rumsfeld, "There would be no way to ensure that falsehoods told abroad would not also be told to the American public."
At a briefing the day after the article appeared, Rumsfeld seemed a bit ambiguous at first, stating that "we make a practice of assuring that what we tell the public is accurate and correct. And if, in any event, somebody happens to be misinformed and says something that's not correct, they correct that at the earliest opportunity." But there was no explicit denial of the policy.
Later that day, the Pentagon issued "a major clarification of earlier statements on misinformation policy," saying the policy was still under development but that "under no circumstances will the office or its contractors knowingly or deliberately disseminate false information to the American or foreign media or publics."
Subsequently, Rumsfeld reiterated that policy.
ABC News Washington Bureau Chief Robin Sproul said she was more satisfied following the later statements. "If there were something there" about a policy of intentionally misleading media, "it seems to have been rethought."
Nevertheless, Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, wondered "how it is that these plans could have evolved to this point?" Rumsfeld, he noted, "does not address that. That makes me worry."

While digital watches could always do more than just tell the time, they often lacked some subtlety in design. Fast forward to 2017, and digital timepieces have not only upgraded their high-tech gimmicks but have also caught up to the design challenge. Unlike their classic analogue counterparts, they have managed to take on the best of both worlds; smart, sophisticated shape and state-of-the-art technology. A stylish vintage piece may accessorise you nicely at the office or after hours, while a more sporty design will be helpful during rugged outdoor adventures. Whichever way you lean, we have rounded up the best digital watches for men to assist your decision-making process.
- 2 Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar
- 3 Suunto Core
- 4 Casio PRW-R-CR Pro Trek
- 5 Timex Expedition Shock CAT
- 6 G-Shock MTGMDA-CR
- 7 Garmin Fenix X Sapphire
- 8 Timex Ironman Classic
- 9 Hamilton Khaki Aviation Flight Timer Quartz
- 10 Braun BN
- 11 Casio AWG-
- 12 Adidas Duramo
- 13 Casio CAW-
- 14 Timex Expedition WS
- 15 Nixon A-
With its rugged design, the G-Shock GA 100 is part of the Casio military series. Its resin covered body ensure shock resistance and up to 200m water resistance, which pretty much classifies this piece as heavy duty outdoor gear. It's made from an anti-magnetic structure and has a built-in auto LED light with afterglow. Furthermore, it comes with 29 time zones, a pre-programmed calendar until 2099 and a highly accurate stopwatch with speed indicator.
2. Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar
The Tissot T-Touch Expert Solar is one of the first of its kind, equipping a solar powered wristwatch with touch screen sensors. These will guide you through more than twenty different features, including essentials like the weather forecast, altimeter, dual time zones and a compass. The T-Touch Expert's high-end technology is coated in a titanium body and sealed with scratch-resistant sapphire glass. A variety of straps, including silicone, leather or titanium will allow you to personalise your model to your liking.
3. Suunto Core
Designed for the outdoors, the Suunto Core sports watch features a sleek, black body and a large digital display to keep you updated on altitude, air pressure, the temperature – and of course the time. The weather indicator is designed to not only indicate sunrises/sunsets, but it also has sensitive storm alarm sensor that will detect drops in air pressure and notify its wearer.
4. Casio PRW-2000R-1CR Pro Trek
The Casio PRW-2000R-1CR Pro Trek was developed to stand by you through the toughest of outdoor adventures. Its rugged design combines modern technology with functionality and ease of operation. Large diamond shaped buttons promote slip resistance. You can even operate the rotary bezel with gloves. Powered by Casio's Tough Solar technology, the dedicated direction function, barometer and altitude buttons provide instant access to the data collected on the road.
5. Timex Expedition Shock CAT
The sporty design and durable resin strap of the Timex Expedition Shock CAT make it the ultimate outdoor adventure companion. Its superior shell material makes it shock resistant to I.S.O. Standards and water resistant up to 100m. If you are looking for something simple and affordable that will stand the test of time, the Timex Expedition Shock CAT is the one for you.
6. G-Shock MTGM900DA-8CR
Casio's G-Shock range is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. In recent years they have been focusing on solar power and atomic timekeeping, to eliminate the headache of having to replace batteries or reset the time manually. The G-Shock MTGM900DA-8CR is the result of said efforts. Equipped with multi-band atomic timekeeping and solar powered battery, this timepiece can last you up to 23 months without additional exposure to light. Thanks to the resin bezel framing the body, this watch is also shock and water resistant up to 200m.
7. Garmin Fenix 5X Sapphire
If you're looking for something to smart complement your busy lifestyle without cutting you off, the Garmin Fenix 5X Sapphire might be for you. As the largest of three new Fenix 5 smartwatches, thus it also packs the most power. Along with a bunch of other gimmicks, this all-rounder features superior tracking capabilities and advanced software to keep up with most sports. This puts the Garmin Fenix 5X Sapphire in pole position amongst comparable products on the market.
8. Timex Ironman Classic 100
If you are a running man, the Timex Ironman Classic 100 is for you. An extra large digital display allows you to catch the time at one glance as you are moving while chronographic settings record your progress. Its coolest feature is the built-in flip technology, which enables you to switch to the Indiglo night-light with the flip of a wrist. The Ironman Classic is also water resistant up to 100m, which makes it suitable for snorkelling and swimming.
9. Hamilton Khaki Aviation Flight Timer Quartz
Hamilton watches have a long aviation history designing watches for pilots, dating all the way back to 1918. Because of that, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation comes with a range of flight-specific features. The dedicated pilot's logbook, for instance, allows one to record flight routes and landings. Other aviation functions include UTC time, a chronograph, a flight time recorder, countdown, an ISA temperature display and a calendar. So, if you're one to keep your head in the clouds, this watch will make sure you won't get lost.
10. Braun BN0159
The Braun BN0159 series is a sophisticated range that is defined by its timeless and minimalistic design. Featuring Japanese quartz movement and a built-in digital display this piece combines the classic beauty of an analogue with the functionality of a digital watch. The rubber band provides a comfortable fit and the screen is sealed with a scratch resistant mineral glass. The watch is also equipped with dual time zones, alarm, a chronograph and an EL backlight.
11. Casio A168WG-9
As far as vintage wristwatches go, the Casio A168WG-9 is a real piece of gold. Not only because of it's colour, of course. While the bright digital display, chronograph, alarm functions and accuracy of time are, of course, essential features of this model, its main appeal is its distinctive 80s design. The Casio A168WG-9 is a statement piece that will upgrade your outfit in an instant. The best part is, though, that you can get this gem for under $50.
12. Adidas Duramo
The sleek design of the Adidas Duramo range ties in seamlessly with an active lifestyle. This performance watch is the perfect starter package for fitness newbies. Its ultralight, durable polycarbonate case and comfortable rubber band make it water resistant and barely noticeable. The Duramo runs with digital quartz movement, which includes a backlight, an annual calendar, dual time, a countdown timer and a 10-lap chronograph.
13. Casio CA53W-1
Casio's popular vintage watch designs have been going strong again for quite some time now – and it looks like they are here to stay. This particular specimen, the Casio CA53W-1 is a member of Casio's Databank family and features an 8-digit calculator. As a matter of fact, this classic piece of arm candy can be considered the mothership of calculator watches. In addition to its quirky design, the watch also contains a bunch of other useful standard settings, such as dual time zones, a daily alarm and an auto calendar.
14. Timex Expedition WS4
The Timex Expedition range has been developed for outdoor-loving folk in need of stylish and, moreover, reliable timepieces to keep them on their path. The Expedition WS4 stands out from the crowd because of its futuristic design with an exceptionally user-friendly interface. The four function widescreen display presents a multitude of information at one glance, while highly sensible sensors continuously collect data for altimeter, barometer, temperature and compass.
15. Nixon A197-195
Bridging the gap between sport and street, the Nixon A197-195 is a low-key watch for everyday use and features quartz movement within a digital display. The screen is embedded in a 49mm stainless steel body with a mineral dial window, which guarantees water resistance to up to 100 metres. At the same time, its polyurethane wristband provides comfort and promotes durability.

Not too much to suggest other than to get the best quality RAM you can afford. Most of the really oddball problems you will encounter will ultimately be traced back to a bad stick of RAM.I've had very good luck with the Crucial and Kingston brands. They are what I use in most of the server-build projects I'm involved with. I have never had any problems with either brand.-40hz (November 02, 2008, 12:10 PM)
4wd, after reading up on your board. I decided to go one up and push to the GigaByte GA-MA790GP-DS4H board. For the cost difference, I feel it might be worth it to further invest in a higher capability board. Now, the case is my next big obstacle to tackle along with CPU and RAM. The NIC on this board is integrated and will suite my purposes unless someone can tell me of another card which might yield some sort of performance increase.-Josh (November 03, 2008, 12:11 AM)
Also, the remote control I am learning comes with the FusionHDTV Card. Does anyone have any input on another remote which might function better and provide support for both Windows MCE (Vista) and controlling the Fusion Card?
If I had to choose a remote it would probably be along the lines of ATI's Remote Wonder or, (since you're going to use BeyondTV anyway), SnapStream's Firefly.-4wd (November 03, 2008, 06:19 AM)
Do you know of an intel motherboard which has a decent video card incorporated into it for HD Decoding and encoding?-Josh (November 03, 2008, 08:44 AM)
I say intel CPU simply because they have the best performance. AMDs might have better performance/price ratio (haven't checked up on prices lately), but the intels perform better - especially on things like SSE instructions, which video codecs tend to use. Also, last time I checked, intel CPUs didn't lead just wrt. performance, but also had lower power consumption than the AMD offerings.-f0dder (November 03, 2008, 08:35 AM)
Also, I prefer intel chipset on the motherboard, for stability reasons. I've had troubles in the past with other brands. Situation is probably better nowadays, but once burned twice shy.
Haven't looked into getting codec acceleration from graphics cards, but afaik both intel and AMD/ATI integrated solutions offer HD acceleration now. Probably worth looking into, even if you go for a quadcore CPU; at least last time I checked, H.264 encoding was pretty expensive CPU-wise, and even with optimized codecs like CoreAVC, decoding full-HD took it's toll as well.
Also, last time I checked, intel CPUs didn't lead just wrt. performance, but also had lower power consumption than the AMD offerings.-f0dder (November 03, 2008, 08:35 AM)
4wd: ah yes, I had not considered the energy-efficient CPU versions - shame on me. Remember that it's not just about MHz though, the intel CPUs have higher IPC (or lower CPI ) than the AMDs.-f0dder (November 04, 2008, 02:27 AM)
Also, a question I have been pondering, would it be best to run 64-bit or 32-bit? This will be a specialized PC and won't require any special applications besides snapstream and tversity. Thoughts? -Josh (November 03, 2008, 07:03 AM)

Cast your gaze upon this earth;
The home of man,
And a million others.
The days are past, when we wallowed in dirt;
Fragile and helpless, prey
To nature's hunters.
Observe us now-
We thrive in shallow ecstasy;
Blissfully unaware of our own idiosyncrasies.
The peace we have created is but an illusion,
From which we derive hollow gratification.
We live in a world gripped
By sorrow and lust.
Thereupon you may ponder-
"Who is left, that I may trust?"
But the Box of Pandora fostered more
Than moral vices;
That which humanity has nurtured
All through the ages.
Behold the beacon of benevolence-
The light of Hope.
We may have blundered, plundered and
Yet, we have also loved, saved, hoped and
In life we tend to lose our way; and
Stray from our creed…
Of Love and Hope.
But through belief and trust we vanquish
These phantoms of malevolence and greed…
With Love and Hope.
Humanity may very well be the cause
Of its own destruction.
Or it may pave a new path; the road
To its own salvation.
This decision rests solely in our hands-
With entities such as you and I.
We can mope and wail about our predicament;
Or buckle up for one last try.
To save our land,
To save our people,
From this stultifying stasis,
Prepare, we must, to move heaven and earth,
Whatever the ultimate cost is.
Or we may simply sit back, relax
And watch the world burn.
Let it be consumed by Hell's Inferno;
To be left with anguish, regret and a lifetime
Of wrong turns.
It is said that there is a method to madness;
To find a way past despair and sadness.
All that's left
For us to do, is to save
All that's left
Of this world.
All that's left…
Of this Paradigm of Chaos.

In my quest to find the best fish sandwich around Pittsburgh, I've often heard mention of Pipers Pub. Now I've been there in the past but I don't recall ever trying anything off the menu. Frankly, I'm not a real big fan of British food in general but I couldn't resist when I read a review where the writer claimed that their fish sandwich should have it's own zip code and national anthem! Well, I knew just what to order. This fish is huge. It's a large fillet of Haddock, not Cod as is usually served in Pittsburgh pubs. They fry it with a beer batter that is light and very tasty. I don't like it when the batter is so heavy that it overpowers the fish, but this was very well done. It comes with an order of fries and some very good home made tarter sauce as well. If you try this you might want to bring a friend because it's plenty big enough to share. Of course I brought Stacy and still managed to just about finish the entire thing. In addition Stacy ordered some Paprika Chicken soup which she really liked. We also ordered some Scotch Eggs. For those that are not familiar with this health food, it is simply a hard boiled egg, covered with ground sausage, breaded and then deep fried. They were great!
In addition to the food, Pipers is well known for it's great beer selection with at least 20 or 25 quality drafts and a very impressive bottle selection. Another very unique offering is their Cask Ale which is a fresh draft offering. As explained on Pipers website: "Cask Ale or Real Ale is defined as:Beer brewed from traditional ingredients, matured by secondary fermentation in the container from which it is dispensed, and served without the use of pressurized gas. When the beer arrives at the pub it needs to undergo its secondary fermentation before it can be served". This months selection is Arcadia Brewing Hop Mouth. While I don't have much knowledge of craft beers it was tempting to give this a try. Maybe next time.

If you have already wrapped all of your gifts, the only thing you might have left to do is to double check that you have small items for the stockings. Christmas is only days away, but you still have time to pick up some last-minute Disney stocking stuffers. From bath toys to adorable cups, you can pick out character themed items that your little ones will adore. Since we made our first family vacation to Disney World earlier this year, these First Years Disney Collection items were perfect for my daughters, especially my younger girl.
Last Minute Disney Stocking Stuffers
Whether you are still shopping for Christmas or looking ahead for birthdays and other special occasions, these simple items will bring smiles to little Disney fans everywhere.
Disney Stocking Stuffers Children Will Love
Bath toys make excellent items for children's stockings. For a larger stocking stuffer, check out SoapSox Disney Characters. Not only are these cute, loveable characters sweet to cuddle with, but they also will scrub your little ones clean in the tub!
This past summer when we visited Disney World, we stayed at the Art of Animation hotel. One of the best parts was the huge Finding Nemo-inspired pool that had large characters from the movie around the pool. As a special surprise, the pool had music playing underwater. Since our stay there was so memorable, we bought the Finding Dory movie as a Christmas gift. These Squirt and Nemo bath characters will go very well with the movie.
Another smart idea is to give cups as stocking stuffers. We go through a lot of children's cups because the girls always seem to lose them. For Disney fans, there's no character as incredible as Mickey Mouse, and a cup with Mickey on it is a great way to remember how awesome he is. My daughters will always remember their first time meeting Mickey Mouse. We even streamed the meet and greet live so the grandparents could see back home. Not only is the Mickey Simply Spoutless cup practical with its spill-proof lid, but it is also really cute.
Minnie Mouse is another favorite of true Disney fans. Minnie was much harder to find than Mickey Mouse was at Disney World, but we finally spotted her in a parade. Seeing Minnie was very exciting to my younger daughter who is a huge fan. She is going to love her Minnie Mouse Simply Spoutless cup.
If you need small items to toss in a stocking, the Finding Nemo Bath Squirt Toys work well. Even though they come in a pack of three, you can open the packaging so they fit better. These bath toys are an adorable break from the traditional rubber ducky. Isn't the turtle's face cute?
My last toy recommendation is a bit big to fit in most stockings, but would look cute sitting below the stockings, especially since it goes well with the other bath products. With The First Years Disney Baby Mickey Mouse Shoot and Store, bath time becomes much more fun!
Do you remember a favorite stocking stuffer you received as a child? Did you have special traditions about how you opened your stockings or what you found inside them? Share in the comments!

I received a free item, but it in no way influenced my opinion!

3 Common Training Mistakes Teen Athletes Make
We asked an expert trainer for the most common mistakes high school athletes make.
There's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. But if your child is pushing himself too hard to get in shape for the fall sports season, he could be risking an injury. We asked Bart Peterson, M.S.S., A.T.C., a member of the National Athletic Trainers' Association, for the most common mistakes high school athletes make.
Problem #1: They're Overtraining Certain Body Parts
"Kids want to lift as much weight as their peers and try to go above their max all the time," says Peterson. First rule: Verify that there's a qualified adult supervisor (like a coach or athletic trainer) watching your child during after-school workouts. If you notice a change in her posture—for example, she seems hunched over—she may be neglecting certain muscle groups, which could set her up for an injury in the future.
Problem #2: They Don't Warm Up
Easing into a workout will not only help prevent your child from overdoing it early on, but will also make his workout more effective by priming the body for more demanding movements. His coach should have him do basic exercises at a slow pace for about 10 to 15 minutes. But, notes Peterson, some teens may need more time. "Ideally, kids will be starting to break a sweat," says Peterson. Remind him to cool down with about 10 to 15 minutes of stretching.
Problem #3: They're Trying Too Hard
If your child is in pain or has felt a nagging soreness lately, that's her body's way of saying "slow down," explains Peterson. Because kids are specializing in a single sport at younger ages, overuse injuries are becoming increasingly common. Ask the athletic trainer at her school to evaluate her. She could be using improper form or exercising too hard, or she may not have let a pre-existing sprain or fracture heal enough.

Sunroom Project Space 2018
Austin Ballard
Sunroom Project Space 2018 | May 19–June 24, 2018
Pictured above: Austin Ballard, Rumors, 2018. Cane webbing, nonslip foam, epoxy clay and acrylic on wood armature, hand-printed wallpaper with acrylic ink. Dimensions variable. Courtesy of the artist. Photo: John Maggiotto.
Austin Ballard constructs an immersive, domestic setting with his hand-printed wallpaper and furniture fabricated out of cane webbing and epoxy clay. Intended as functional sculptures, the forms are reminiscent of Victorian furniture and recall Wave Hill's history as a private home. Combining contemporary technologies with handicrafts, Ballard's work conflates innovation and tradition, man-made and natural materials, high and low art—subverting societal and cultural assumptions of gender and labor associated with weaving, as well as with contemporary art. The installation at Wave Hill also questions the relationship between domesticity and leisure in an age of constant, digital interfacing.
Having grown up in North Carolina, where the textile industry historically played a fundamental and utilitarian role, Ballard seeks ways to make art approachable and accessible. With an interest in furniture design, Ballard creates these vividly-colored sculptures out of natural materials—cane from rattan palm and armatures out of wood. He utilizes traditional techniques of textile pattern-making, cane weaving, natural dying and ceramic slab-building. Ballard pushes epoxy clay through the underside of the webbing to create a dotted, outer surface that evokes a digital reproduction, such as a landscape of pixels, screen printing or a three-dimensionally printed object. His wallpaper pattern consists of skewed layers of small, brightly colored dots. Ballard's intention is to create "seamful" works—with the artist's hand and labor revealed—in contrast to high-end, minimal, modern furniture and commercially printed, seamlessly patterned wallpaper.
Referencing the original, 19th-century Victorian villa on the site of what is now Wave Hill's Glyndor House, Ballard reimagines iconic furniture pieces that might have existed here in years past, such as wicker chairs by Heywood-Wakefield. They served specific purposes: the fainting chair, for instance, invited women to recline and relax, while the têté-a-têté (head-to-head) chair encouraged conversation. Ballard suggests the objects in the exhibition retain "a quirky intimacy, and offer a place for gossip and rumors to not only be shared in private, but be performed."
Ballard has exhibited nationally and internationally at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Provincetown, MA; Beers Contemporary, London, England; Field Projects, New York, NY; NURTUREart, Brooklyn, NY; Napoleon, Philadelphia, PA; Real Art Ways, Hartford, CT; David B. Smith Gallery, Denver, CO; and Handwerker Gallery, Ithaca, NY, among others. He earned his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, Teaching Certificate from Sheridan Center at Brown University/RISD and BFA from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

What's wrong with the official apology for the Manhattan fly-by?
The "official apology" on the White House website would appear to have a mistake in it:
Somebody needs to tell the White House to stop referring to the flight that buzzed Manhattan as "Air Force One." The plane only gets that call sign when it's carrying the president. Or… was it?

Working With Us
Practical Web Solutions has a few methods that are - broadly speaking - generally adhered to when designing, developing and hosting web sites, registering domains and in the all-round operation of our company.
The following are very general explanations and will most likely vary from client to client, as we do realise that not everyone is the same and, more importantly, each website has unique requirements.
When you are looking for website to be developed or designed, you can expect a process similar to the following. As all websites will differ in requirements, the process may differ slightly from client to client.
As with all our web site design and hosting services, we offer communication methods for this service by telephone and fax, but take preference to emailed communication between us and you, the client.
1. Your Specifications for your website
As a client, you, having decided that you need or want a website will have an idea of what you need or what they want from your website. This needs to be drafted and sent to, or discussed with, Practical Web Solutions. Please remember that we believe that you know your business and target market better than we do so we rely on you for information pertaining to the websites desired function or functions.
The specifications you give over do not need to be very technical at all (you might have examples of similar sites or particular functions of other sites) and at first all we really need is a general idea of your business or concern, and whether there are any specific functions, such as a blog, newsletter, etc..., required on the site and what you require the website to achieve for you, whether it be just that your company portfolio is online for reference or you need a multi-functional CMS, blog or e-commerce shopping cart developed.
2. Our Review
We will review your request and compile a proposal for the site, which will be a detailed description of all aspects that we envision covering in designing your website, and this proposal will include pricing information and a timeframe for the development. The pricing is flexible, terms wise, and the timeframe may be negotiated. We recognise our clients as individuals and will tailor the development or design proposal for your specific needs or situation.
3. The Proposal
Once the proposal is agreed upon by all parties that may be concerned, the design phase begins. We will draft a layout proposal image and send this to you, once we have received any deposit that may be delineated in the proposal, for approval and comment. Once the layout design is approved, then we will start integrating that layout into a web site and provide you with a link to your online preview of the site.
4. Site Content
Content for the site, provided by the client, will be analysed and potentially rewritten with SEO in mind, and optimised for the internet.. Same applies to photographs and images you provide for display on your site. We will then populate the site with the desired content.
5. Your Feedback
Feedback from you as the client is very important at all stages of development. All suggestions are taken under advisement and implemented, but, we will inform you accordingly, if there is anything you want to implement that may be detrimental to the website's performance, and once informed, the final decision lies with you.
6. Finalisation
The site is finalised and deployed, submitted to the search engines, and taken live on your hosting account, whether you make use of Practical Web Solutions' hosting for your site or host the site elsewhere.
We usually operate on a default payment arrangement of a 50% initial deposit on acceptance of a proposal or quotation with the remaining balance due on deployment of your website.
NB: We do not insist that the site is hosted with us for design purposes and will never insist on a move to our hosting services, but its always nice to have a client host with us as well. If however, your current service provider has not the adequate framework for the sites requirements, then it's usually a good idea to consider changing packages or moving your hosting and domain to us.
Contact Practical Web Solutions today for all your web design requirements
Web hosting services are available to anyone and we have a range of payment options available for these services.
Signing Up for Hosting Automated Process:
This can be a completely automated process and you can sign up online by browsing to http://www.practiwebs.co.za/clientzone where you will select your domain name, hosting package, and add-ons you require and then completing all the information required for the account to be set up. This processis usually complete within 12 to 24 hours after we have confirmation of payment.
Manually Signing Up for Hosting
You may contact us, preferably via email, with your preferred domain name. A representative will liaise with you and all information entered into the system and the account created for you.
Both the manual and automated processes will grant you access to the live system where you can manage your account as necessary. The manual process, as it relies on human processing, may however, take an hour or two longer to process. cPanel access is granted to all hosting customers as this enables them to manage their hosting and email addresses with ease.
Support will be provided where requested, whether by phone or email, or by lodging a support ticket online. All web hosting accounts have a webmail interface for retrieval of email while on the move, and all mail servers have have imap support so that emails may be retrieved on your mobile device.
Contact us for any queries about our web hosting procedure or process or to sign up manually by consulting with a representative - or proceed to our web hosting portal to sign up automatically for hosting services, review our packages or check and register domain names.
Our web redesign or site analysis service is available to anyone that has a website in need of a revamp or update in any form.
The process begins with an analytical phase, whereby you supply us with the current we address as well as your comments and desired changes in brief. We will analyse the site, all-round as best we can, look into the changes you desire for your website, and then put forward a proposal to you, including comments on your changes, and incorporating any ideas and suggestions we may have that may improve your websites performance on any level. You are not obliged to take us up on our suggestions in any way, but they are simply included, where applicable, for your consideration.
The proposal or report will contain information on the current site, and the changes foreseen with potential impact on the site, as well as a timeframe and a proposed implementation plan and the pricing quote for Practical Web Solutions to make these changes. Analytical fees may sometimes be charged at our discretion for website improvements and web redesign proposals, but you will be informed accordingly before we begin. If you need a website analysed or re-designed, please contact us.
If you feel that you need more information or you are uncertain about whether we cover what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

I've spent the last few days looking into cages, HDMI locks, & anti-twist plates. All three are important pieces of gear when shooting video on your DSLR. First off you need to protect your camera and lens when you're out shooting. And there are a lot of options. Most rigs have a basic mount with 15mm rods for your camera plus accessories like a follow focus, matte box, field monitor, audio recorder – whew isn't DSLR video fun and expensive? Anyway, that basic mount should also enclose your camera somehow to prevent on-location dings. And those enclosures should have mounting points for all that stuff I described.
Next your enclosure should have some kind of HDMI cable lock, when using a field monitor or EVF. I've been shooting and yanked my own HDMI cable out and not only does it interrupt your shooting, but if you damage your HDMI connector your camera is really screwed.
Lastly are anti-twist plates. When you hook up a follow focus to your DSLR that torque needed to turn the lens can cause your lens and camera to move a bit if your camera is only mounted by a single 1/4″ thread. That movement will certainly show on your video.
So now that I explained the need for those three things, I'll share my
obsession research I've put in trying to find a cost-effective solution. Every DSLR rig starts out with one item, the mount plate and rails, to which you can add on to. The FOTGA DP500 II system is one solution I own and it's good quality for the price. But it's not enough protection for the camera.
One protection solution is to mount C-shaped 15mm brackets around your camera. This does protect your investment, but it doesn't offer that many mounting points for gear.
The best way to protect your gear and add lots of mounting points are with a cage. There a few types of cages. Some fit snug around your camera and are all metal, and others are made with top and bottom plates attached with 15mm rods. Sometimes the plates are made of metal and other times they are special reinforced molded plastic. Below is the CPM Cubed Cage 3 ($560) next to the ProAim Rapido Cage ($200).
The CPM is very versatile, but there is no HDMI lock or anti-twist. That QR plate is a special molded military-grade plastic, but I have experienced a bit of camera twist with a follow focus. The Rapido has a HDMI lock but no anti-twist plate. You might be able to find a very thin anti-twist plate to add to this. You need thin because if you raise the height of the camera, I don't think the HDMI lock will align with the cameras HDMI port any longer. Whew. What a headache this all his.
So what did I do? I really really had my eye on the ProAim Rapido but for me twist is as big an issue as HDMI locking. But I settled on this iDC Photo Video SYSTEM ZERO Camera Plate (I think I got Amazon's last one, but they have one for Nikon) with HDMI Cable Stabilizer for 5D Mark III:
At $139 and free shipping from Adorama I do feel its a bit pricey. But it's the simplest way to add anti-twist and HDMI lock to the CPM cubed cage that I already own. See the bar in the back, and the pin on the right? The pin will go in a hole on the bottom of the 5Dmk3 and that plus the bar should stop any twist. Plus it accepts a ProAim or Zacuto (with adapter) viewfinder. And it was the most versatile, as I can use it on a tripod without a cage. I'm not 100% sure yet, but I believe the HDMI lock can be removed.
Note that Zacuto has a similar attachment that you can mount to a Zacuto gorilla plate, but it really just holds the Zacuto cable from the sides and bottom. Meaning that it mostly protects your HDMI cable from being pulled out of the camera, but it may not protect it from being pulled up and out.
