Today's interview is with Lee Binz, The Home Scholar, who will help guide us through many of the questions we might have about transcripts, scholarships, high school credits, and getting into select colleges.
Lee's mission is "helping parents homeschool high school." Lee and her husband Matt homeschooled their two sons from elementary through high School. Upon graduation, both boys received four-year, full tuition scholarships from their first choice university. Now Lee pursues her dream job – encouraging parents to homeschool their children through high school. Lee's Homeschool Transcript Solution teaches parents how to create high school transcripts for every homeschool style. Her free HomeScholar Helper newsletter provides monthly encouragement and support. You can get a daily dose of high school help online at https://www.homehighschoolhelp.com/.
We start out the interview with one of Lee's favorite bible passages: Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
In the next portion of our interview, Lee shares with us some interesting facts about her family and their homeschooling journey.
- Lee homeschooled her boys from around 5th grade through high school.
- She used a literature-based homeschooling method – a blend of Charlotte Mason and Classical.
- Lee desires to help other women through encouragement and support now that she has graduated her own sons.
Keys to getting our kids a scholarship to college:
- Providing a college-prep education for our kids.
- Choosing a curriculum that is a good fit for your children.
- Incorporating test prep into your homeschool (SAT and ACT)
- Providing good transcript records (with detailed course descriptions.) She stresses the importance of thinking about transcripts and course descriptions beginning in junior high.
- Focusing on character development.
Lee believes that character is a very important aspect into college entrance.
Why is it important to start thinking bout transcripts and high school?
- Think about high school beginning around 5th grade so that you have a plan.
- Eliminate fears.
- Eliminate the last-minute pressure.
What do we do when teaching a subject becomes too difficult for us (the teacher)?
- Recognize that every parent will indefinitely get to that place where you cannot teach a subject anymore.
- Our role as parents changes over time as children get older. In the high school period our role becomes a facilitator or project manager as opposed to the teacher.
- Because homeschool students are used to teaching themselves, they actually fair better in college.
A few of Lee's Curriculum Favorites
- Sonlight Curriculum– literature based and college prep
- Apologia Biology, Chemistry, and Physics- easy for her children to use independently and are college-prep materials
- Saxon Math– lots of practice and has placement tests, plus video tutorials
- For more helps on how to choose curriculum, check out Lee's book Homeschool Curriculum That's Affective
Lee recommends allowing your students to preview the curriculum before purchasing and getting their feedback.
Credits, Transcripts, and Test-taking
- Lee gives us some tips on how to calculate credits.
- For more information, check out Lee's book on Grades, Credits, and Transcripts.
- She gives us some tips on how to prepare for standardized tests.
- Standardized tests can help our students to learn test-taking skills.
Test-taking Resources Lee Binz recommends:
- PSAT Test– Collegeboard.org
- SAT/ACT Test– ACT.org
She also discusses with us the difference between a GED and a high school diploma.
- (You can order a diploma through HomeschoolDiplomas.com.)
How we can ensure that our students can be admitted to the college of their choice?
- Colleges are longing for well-educated young people who are prepared.
- Colleges rely on the ACT/SAT tests as well as their course descriptions.
- Letters of recommendation are important.
- Volunteer and work experience is very helpful.
Lee's Resources
TheHomescholar Freebies– Training and Guides
The HomeScholar Guide to College Admissions and Scholarships
Coffeebreak books (for your Kindle)
The Gold Care Club – Lee offers personal coaching to help you through the steps
Lee Binz's final words of encouragement to our Christian Homeschool Moms listeners:
As long as you know your child you should trust yourself.
You can contact Lee Binz at https://www.homehighschoolhelp.com/.

Best 5 Fragrances
I'm a girl who likes to wear fragrance on the daily. I used to stick to one fragrance that I loved and for a while I wouldn't stray, but after branching out and trying a few more I've found many fragrances that I love to rotate! You might recall seeing a whole tray of fragrances in my bedroom home tour post but these 5 are my personal favourites and the ones I wear most often. Are any of these in your top picks? I'd love to know some of your favourites so that I can give a few new ones a try too!
Photo Details: Notebook // Watch // Pineapple Candle (similar)
1. Prada Candy L'eau
Why I love it: It's fresh, bright and feminine. With a bit of sweetness yet still sophisticated this is my go to fragrance.
Where to wear it: Everywhere! haha This is my #1 favourite fragrance
2. Coach Poppy
Why I love it: A fun floral fragrance that's long lasting. Plus, the bottle is too cute!
Where to wear it: Running errands on the weekend
3. Dolce & Gabbana The One
Why I love it: It has a warm classic fragrance that's timeless and sophisticated. As soon as I received it as a gift it quickly became a close second to the Prada Candy L'eau.
Where to wear it: Date night
4. Puur Body Lemon & Vanilla Body Spray
Why I love it: You might remember I raved about this fragrance in this style quarterly review because it's such a fun and sweet scent. It might not be the longest lasting but it reminds me of the fragrances I wore in high school that smelled so good you wanted to eat them!
Where to wear it: Lunch with the girls
5. Tory Burch Eau De Parfum
Why I love it: The most "perfume-y" of the bunch, this is the fragrance I wear when I wanna get s#!t done. A sophisticated floral scent that only takes one or two sprays to last the day, this fragrance makes me feel "grown up" when I wear it.
Where to wear it: The office
And an honourable mention goes out to the Sarong scent by Theme Fragrances that I wrote about in my Summer Romance post. It's easy to apply where you want (roll on for the win!), fits easily in my purse and smells like summer in a bottle!
PS Head over to NSE to see what my girl Kira is up to today!


text: Is there any way to have this program just run quietly on the phone without urgent notifications a couple times a day? A notification that my battery power is below 50% every time is unnecessary. I woke up today to four notifications from trend micro, none of them about security issues. I couldn't remember why I uninstalled this before, and I'm remembering now. Thanks.

Well it's been a long six weeks but the Thrash Metal Madness competition is finally over. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of the 64 bands for competing. I sincerely hope you all gained a ton of exposure as a result of this little contest and picked up a ton of new fans along the way as well.
I would also like to thank my brother in thrash at the Thrash Till Death Facebook page for his constant support. If you don't know, these guys made banners for each round and posted music by all of the competing bands week after week. The thrash metal community needs more people like Alex and his army of moderators. Go give 'em a like!
Lastly I want to thank you, the fans. Without your votes this whole thing would have been a huge flop. Unfortunately there were a few bad eggs out there who don't seem to understand the concept of a friendly competition however a majority of you did. For that I and all the bands competing would like to thank you. Again I truly hope you all discovered some killer new bands you'll be thrashing to for years to come!
I'm pleased to announce that the winners of Thrash Metal Madness and the band that has officially earned the first spot on Wreck Your Neck Volume 2 are…SANITY'S RAGE! Congratulations gentlemen you certainly earned your place on this compilation and I look forward to what the future has in store for you guys!

The best cup of coffee in Reykjavik.
I'm no expert, but I like to think I've got this coffee thing down. I live in a major metropolis. I can order a pour over or nitro comfortably. There's at least one La Colombe within walking distance of me at any given time. So when my guide from I <3 Reykjavik took time out of our walking tour to proclaim Reykjavik Roasters the best cup of coffee in the city, I had to stop.
He was so right. Perhaps the only pour over in all of Iceland (don't fact check me on that), Reykjavik Roasters serves a delightful cup of coffee. Adorned with succulents and a homey vibe, you can rest your feet on of the eclectic armchairs while waiting for your coffee. The sound system is powered by a record player near the cashier, and I don't think they'd mind if you put on your favorite blues album.
It's conveniently located near Hallgrimskirkja and easy to add to your plans for the day. They also will make your drink for takeaway if you're inclined to keep exploring (or there are no seats left in the cafe).

A few months after deploying the beta version of Pardon411.com, our free form generating web application, we have decided to rethink the way it works. Since the site was launched, we have had thousands of visitors and nearly 200 individuals use the online system to complete their pardon application. We also collected a great deal of feedback about the website, the idea, and most importantly, how it made such an important task easy to complete.
After carefully reviewing the data and responses we received, we decided to completely change the format, goal, and presentation of the website. You will now find a lot more information and easier to follow instructions on how to apply for a pardon in the correct jurisdiction. The platform we chose to work with is MediaWiki, the same system that powers MediaWiki. Not only have we done a ton of research to provide visitors with all the information they will need to apply for pardons, we have created a method for individuals to discuss and ask questions.

Memory leakage appears to be a problem, too.
About five or six times a day to re-boot is normal and I've come to accept it as a fact of computer life.
Am I getting off lightly, or do you have the same problem?
server - I don't try out new kernels so often. Not in the past 163 days, it seems, which is roughly how long I've lived here :)
Win2k box at work - I used to have to reboot it at least once, sometimes twice a day. (Work days are only four hours, not eight.) Now I shut it off when I leave and power it on again when I get in, and sometimes have to re-boot in the middle. It doesn't blue-screen, it just becomes so dog-slow that I don't see any result from a click for a full minute, and then it only *starts* rendering any change to the display. It might take a full five to bring a window to the top. If aynone else used the machine before I got in, I might as well reboot it before I bother logging in.
I do shut my computer down though, electricity is expensive in California these days.

But moving over your favourite programs (and e-commerce site/software) from Win 98 is an experience that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy - but if you can afford the private mental health aftercare - go for it!
For heaven's sake though, keep at least one 98/ME computer running - you'll need it to find the fixes on the INet

My machine stays on 16 hours a day and I restart only occasionly when needed to install software.
I run Linux (since kernel 0.99pl14) and I've been lucky - I just wish my Linux server at work was that stable, it's suffering from some kind of weird bug involving netatalk and an ethernet card driver.

Have you actually *installed* anything on your computer in the last ten years?
Do you keep it in the attic?
Under windows 98 / 2000 there are bugs with uninstalling software, which can render your system unstable.
Basically, if the creater of your software has done a good job of the installation (which actually requires knowledge and experience even when using installshield express), the uninstall facility should be ok. If not, well you know the rest......
Ingredients for a stable system:
1) Only EVER install software from a major reputable company
2) Even so, do not uninstall if you can help it
3) Always shut your machine down properly
When you purchase a PC, after installing your core applications do a backup (disk to disk with Norton ghost is best) - then you have stable environment which you can fall back on (have you noticed that systems are almost always totally stable until you've had them for a while).
Oh, and always do a backup BEFORE installing major microsoft system updates. These can cause horrendous problems, due to additional software which you have installed on your PC.
If your system is currently frequently bluescreening, I recommend you do the same as me - rebuild from scratch!
Have fun :)
Martinibuster is right - do the msconfig and empty your sys-tray at startup (non-esentials only of course), especially the MS Office Startup - it really robs resourses.
I also find cleaning out the RAM with the three-finger-salute after a lot of printing or other hardware related activities helps keep it stable and fast.
However, I have run across a clone that's running Win2K. I know there are issues about using hardware that is not supported. I'm still not sure if this is any hardware<==>software issue, but this thing just freezes about twice/day. I'm willing to bet it's the hardware. AMD processor.
Overall, with the advent of Win2K and XP, looks like BSOD is becoming less prevalent, even though there are a lot of security issues that haven't been taken care of.
I'll use the MS products here, but I still will only have my sites hosted on Unix/Linux servers.

Virtually NEVER locks up. Maybe twice in three months. Never seen the blue screen though.
If you're dealing with that kind of mess, definitely plop down the $199, spend an afternoon, and upgrade to XP. It's worth the time and money.
Usually it is a memory problem, not a blue screen. In Windows 98, it was caused by MS Word and by IE. On Millenium, it's caused by IE I believe, because not using Word very much.
But there is a much more annoying thing which is sooner or later going to make me bite the bullet and port everything over to Linux: every 10th "get" or so, IE goes into hibernation and does nothing for 30-90 seconds. It's not busy chatting on the network or downloading pages or anything ... the little network icon sits patiently with no blinking lights. Then, the lights finally start blinking and the page loads. I have probably already lost more productive time than if I had taken the day or two to move everything to Linux!
I used to use NT 4.0 and it was rock solid... so I suspect Win 2K is as well.
Fair enough, last rebuild from scratch was about 5 months ago. So I'd go along with shady's advice.
if you don't need it, don't install it.
if you do need it, make sure you have a clean system backup from before the install.
clean up manually after uninstalls. the amount of garbage some of these programs leave behind in the registry is shameful.

The Melbourne Ice have capped off a dominant 2017 season by defeating CBR Brave in a 4-1 thriller at OBrien Group Arena and claim the Goodall Cup.
Perennial playoff contenders since they last raised the Goodall Cup in 2012, the Ice have been unable to convert regular season success into Finals success in recent years. In 2017 however, they rid themselves of any demons, taking the AIHL Minor Premiership with a record breaking season and claiming their fourth Goodall Cup.
Melbourne Ice Head Coach Charles Franzen reiterated the importance this championship breakthrough has been for the club.
Getting through to Sunday was very, very important, very, very big for the club, he said.
It was a real tough game against ourselves yesterday. The Mustangs showed a lot of character and they played really good.
Fast and furious first period
With the final puck drop of the season, both the Brave and Ice set about stamping their authority on the game. Both sides had their share of chances but it was the Ice who drew first blood. Chris Wong made the most of an opportunity when he finished a 2-on-1 rush counter attack to send a wrist shot between Aleksi Toivonens pad and blocker, to give the Ice a 1-0 lead with seven minutes remaining.

The Brave looked to equalise on the first power play of the night, with Lliam Webster holding, but were unable to convert. Both teams continued to probe and test the other but neither were able find the slot and the Melbourne Ice took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission.
The CBR Brave took to the ice for the second period with purpose and looked to capitalise on the man advantage. Dayne Davis and the Ice defence stood tall on the penalty kill to deny the Brave an equaliser. With no love lost between the teams as some chippiness started to seep into game.
Determined to pull back to even footing, the Brave were rewarded with 7:23 left in period two: Dominic Jalbert cut off a wayward Ice pass and dished to Stephen Blunden to beat Davis clean and equalise the game, 1-1.
The Ice however were spurred into another gear, capitalising on a tired Brave defence with just 26 seconds left in the period, Sebastian Ottosson roofed a shot past Aleksi Toivonen to advance the Ice up 2-1.
Melbourne Ice Head Coach Charles Franzen called out the focused semi-final recovery strategy keeping his team fresh to compete against a side known for their dominant hockey style and skill.
We know that they (CBR) played the later game (yesterday), which was not to their advantage of course because when their game was finished my guys were more or less in bed, theyd had their massage and dinner and everything, said Franzen.
All or nothing final frame
Every fan knew in capacity crowd stadium at OBrien Group Arena knew that the third period was going to be a barn-burner and it didnt disappoint. There was plenty of end-to-end hockey and huge hits that set the crowd alight.
The Ices Sebastian Ottosson punished the Brave for their defensive miscue and slotted a wrist shot past Toivonen to extend the Ice lead to 3-1 with 17:42 left in the third period and the crowd defeaning in support by the Melbourne Ice crew and the traveling Bravehearts.
There followed a 10-minute battle of intense passing and defence. The break in end-to-end hockey came when the Ice forward Matt Armstrong walked in unmarked on Aleksi Toivonen and broke the hearts of Brave fans around the world as he put the Ice up 4-1.
The Brave continued to fight until the final horn, but once again Dayne Davis proved too staunch in the final line of defence and the three-point lead proved unassailable.
As the final seconds on the clock counted down the Melbourne Ice, with the puck in their defensive zone, threw their hands in the air and piled high around Davis in front of an ecstatic home crowd.

Sebastian Ottosson named Most Valuable Player of the Finals
Ottosson, who hails from Sweden, was named the Most Valuable Player of the AHIL Finals weekend with three goals in two games. The award caps off a turbulent season for the star forward who returned from injury to take part in the Finals weekend.
Ice Captain Lliam Webster was full of praise for his team and credited the win to his sides commitment and work ethic.
Words cant do it justice, said Webster
Its the season weve been working towards for a long time and this is just the perfect finish.

How Your iPhone Can Improve Accuracy During Your Golf Game
[MobilePRwire] – INDICE+ SA has released an update for Mobile Golf Tempo, its golfing app that brings innovative features for Android and now also for iOS. Mobile Golf Tempo v1.5 helps golfers to improve distance and accuracy throughout their game by simply reacting to audial or vibrational signals delivered through their iPhone or Android device. This updated app is an effective and easy way for the tempo of the pros to take root in the swing of any golfer.
The updated app is an effective and easy way for the tempo of the pros to take root in the swing of any golfer, and by doing so, significantly enhance consistency and gain more distance off the tee.
By simply reacting to audial or vibrational signals delivered through their mobile device, the golfer can begin the backswing, start the downswing, and make impact with the golf ball at precisely the correct tempo and timing.
Generating audio files in WAV format on the fly, this update offers greater precision compared to the previous version. It also provides some innovative functionalities such as exporting audio sequences corresponding to the tempo of the golfer and can be used on a tiny music player for example.
Handling is easy, just as access to precise swing settings, with notably the possibility to adjust the human reaction time to sound.
In addition, the app is helpful for golfers, such as seniors, who may not strive for a professional tempo swing. Mobile Golf Tempo offers a range of alternate tempos that still respects correct swing ratios (the ratio of the measured time it takes to make the backswing as compared to the downswing through impact).
Golf Tempo training aids have been validated by independent scientific studies* at the Departments of Physics and Biomechanics at Yale University and Oklahoma State University. Mobile Golf Tempo improves tempo and accuracy for every club in the bag from driver to putter.
(*) Scientific studies: http://arxiv… and http://www…

Nikon D500
Here's our in-depth review of the Nikon D500 enthusiast DSLR…
Nikon users have been waiting a long time for an updated flagship DX-format DSLR. The company's previous release, the 12MP D300S, with its 5fps shooting and maximum ISO of 3200, was way back in 2009 – a relative aeon in a fast-moving camera market. To put this into greater perspective, it came only nine months after the first mirrorless camera was announced. Fast-forward to January 2016, and Nikon unveiled the D500, its fastest ever DSLR with an APS-C sized sensor. It shares much of its spec with Nikon's full-frame flagship, the D5, yet costs just a third of the price.
When the D500 was announced, there was some surprise that it would have a 20.9MP resolution, as the previous APS-C releases – the D5500 and D7200 – featured a 24.2MP sensor. Some critics may see this as regression, but fewer pixels means each individual photosite can be bigger, improving the light gathering potential of the sensor. This means the camera can offer better image quality with less noise at higher ISOs. Besides, 20MP is more than enough for the vast majority of users. Interestingly, the D500 actually shares the same sensor architecture as the D5, which has a 20.8MP resolution. Our feeling is that 20MP is the best overall trade-off between image quality and low light performance.
Main features
The D500's 20.9MP APS-C sensor measures 23.5x15.7mm, and produces a resolution of 5568x3712p, more than enough for detailed A3 prints. Nikon's DX format sensors have a 1.5x crop factor, giving lenses 50% greater reach than their stated focal lengths, getting you closer to your subject and making the D500 well-suited to both sports and wildlife. There's no Optical Low Pass Filter (OLPF) on the sensor, which should mean sharper images straight out of the camera.
The sensor is partnered by the EXPEED 5 image processor, allowing the D500 a native ISO range of 100-51,200, which can be expanded to a staggeringly wide 50-1,640,000. This is the highest sensitivity range of any APS-C DSLR to date. The top expanded sensitivity setting of the D3S was ISO 6400, while the D500 offers an ISO that's 8 stops better, which shows just how far sensor technology has come in the past 7 years, and vastly improves the low light performance of Nikon's top DX format DSLR.
As well as being the most sensitive, it's also Nikon's fastest APS-C DSLR too. The D500 has a shooting speed of 10fps, and incredibly it can capture a burst of 200 14-bit RAW files without pause. That's 20 seconds of uninterrupted rapid shooting, enough to capture the 200m finals at this summer's Olympics! This speed and burst handling is another benefit of opting for a slightly reduced resolution. Smaller files mean quicker processing times, so you can shoot faster and longer bursts. Nikon has also engineered the mirror mechanism to be faster, reducing viewfinder blackout during such rapid bursts.
And it's not just the shooting that's blistering – the focusing operates at break-neck speed too. The D500 uses the same Multi-CAM 20k autofocus sensor module with phase detection as the flagship D5. It has 153 AF-points, and 99 of them are the more advanced cross-type sensors, offering almost entire frame coverage. The AF is sensitive down to -4EV at the central point, and -3EV for all other points, helping the camera to focus in challenging low light situations with speed and precision. The system is configurable for 153-point, 72-point and 25-point coverage settings in Continuous AF mode, and a new AF ASIC unit assigns maximum power to focusing at all times.
Additional features
On the rear of the D500, there's a 3.2in 2359k-dot tilting TFT touch-sensitive LCD. It has a 170º viewing angle and 100% frame coverage, which combined with the tilt mechanism it makes it easy to compose from challenging angles so you can get creative with composition. As the screen is touch-sensitive, you can scroll through and zoom into pics when reviewing images, just like using a smartphone. When in Live View, the screen can also be used to set the focus point, release the shutter and acquire preset Spot White Balance data with a tap of your finger. However, it's worth noting that unlike some contemporary cameras, the touchscreen can't be used to navigate the menu system.
The D500 is not only a superb stills shooter, but is also equally adept at capturing movies. It comes equipped with 4K video, which has a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, and can record for 29 minutes and 59 seconds at 30p. That's more impressive even than the D5. If you want a faster frame rate for making slow-motion video, then the D500 also records Full HD at 60p, and there's in-camera Vibration Reduction to keep the effects of camera shake to a minimum. For audio monitoring, there are microphone and headphone ports, and there's also a HDMI port for external recording.
There's a range of connectivity options with the D500, as it has both Wi-Fi and NFC to connect the camera to smart devices. This allows you to control key camera functions via your phone, and tag images with location data. The D500 is also the first Nikon DSLR to come with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), making it compatible with SnapBridge. This Nikon app creates a constant, low-power connection between your camera and your smartphone. You can automatically sync images you shoot to your phone in your pocket, and these pics are re-sized to 1920x1080 pixels, an ideal size for posting to social media.
Build & handling
Constructed from a tough metal chassis, and fitted with magnesium alloy and carbon fibre parts, the D500 is both light at 860g (body only), yet reassuringly rugged. All joints, buttons and dials are fully weather-sealed, allowing the camera to operate in a wide range of challenging environments. Nikon hasn't included a pop-up flash unit, which is found on most of their enthusiast and semi-pro DSLRs. This decision has improved the durability of the D500, and most of the camera's intended market won't mind that it is missing. In fact, lots of photographers tape down the pop-up flash as it's rarely used and more likely to break.
In the hand, the D500 sits very comfortably, and the front finger grip is deep, just as on the D750. On the rear there's a well-designed thumb rest for maximum purchase. There's also a textured rubberised surface around the body enhancing the grip, even in wet conditions.
For media storage, the D500 comes with two card slots. There's one for the speedy XQD cards, and another for the more universal SD UHS II cards. You can assign one to be the primary slot, while the second can be set to overflow, back-up or JPEG copies.
The button layout is ergonomic, and finally Nikon gets the location of its ISO button right – on the top-plate right next to the shutter button. This makes it easy to adjust all three exposure variables without taking your eye from the viewfinder. There's also a new sub-selector joystick on the rear, making it easier to select the active AF point while framing up. The 3.2in LCD offers a fantastically crisp view, and the touchscreen is highly receptive, making operation a pleasingly tactile experience. When using Live View, the option to tap to set the focus makes shooting so much quicker, and the AF is responsive considering the D500 is using contrast-detect sensors to focus while the shutter is locked up.
Focusing is even more impressive when using the viewfinder, as the more reactive phase detection sensors lock onto subjects with stunning speed and accuracy, even in very low light. This is simply one of the best AF systems we have ever seen. It remains accurate even during rapid 10fps bursts, and the reduced viewfinder blackout time makes it easy to keep framing accurately on your subject when shooting an action sequence.
153 AF points
The D500 has 153 AF points, the largest number of any APS-C DSLR on the market. 99 of these are the more advanced cross-type sensors, and 55 are user selectable, with the rest operating as support points, giving wide frame coverage.
To make selecting the focus point even faster, there's a new sub-selector joystick positioned just to the left of where your right thumb naturally sits when holding the camera at eye level. Moving the joystick up, down, left or right moves the active point to the desired position.
Excellent high ISO
When it comes to ISO performance the D500 raises the bar. Even at high sensitivities such as 25,600, images are relatively noise-free, and RAWs only require a small amount of processing to combat colour and luminance noise. Even at the lower expanded settings, images are still useable. It's only when you push it to the upper limits that noise becomes a problem.
It's been almost seven years since Nikon's previous flagship DX-format camera was released, and it's fair to say an update was more than overdue. Those who have been waiting for a top-spec semi-pro DSLR will not be disappointed, as the D500 delivers on every front. It handles brilliantly, and is fast, responsive and intuitive. The AF system is near faultless, and the ISO performance is the best of any APS-C DSLR on the market. What you're getting is the performance of a pro sports DSLR in a more compact and consumer-friendly body. In fact, it's difficult to find fault with it, without being unreasonably picky. It's not cheap, and will be a financial stretch too far for many enthusiasts. But for those who demand a market-leading performance but can't justify buying the D5, this will be a really attractive investment.

Over the past six years the biggest key is to hustle, build your portfolio and have either a very stable relationship where your partner makes the main income or to be super single. Now it's not easy to make $200 or $200,000+ in photography but if you work hard enough you can become successful as anyone of us. Just do it....wait isnt that a Nike saying.
PS. This video is a spoof, I'm sure you know Eric Kim released an article and video talking about making $200K a year. I have full respect for Eric and give credit for his success. Just some fun. But seriously....$200 a year.....should be a big goal.
