Texas Comptroller water-planning report also fails to brings up the growing role of natural gas fracking
Ironically, the cover of a major Texas report on drought and water planning points out that it's been "dry" and "hot" and implies humans have some control over the state's thermostat. But the report is silent on human contribution to the heat and drought now and in the future — and is thus dangerously misleading as a planning document.
Can a state devastated by its most severe hot-weather drought on record actually release a water-planning report on the future of drought in Texas that never mentions global warming? Sadly, the answer is yes in the case of "The Impact of the 2011 Drought and Beyond," by Susan Combs, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
The state's climate science denial, led by Denier-In-Chief Rick Perry, is much more than purely rhetorical in nature. It is leaving the residents of Texas wholly unprepared for what is to come, including the devastation of much of the state's agriculture, as this report unintentionally makes clear.
Texas A&M University, professor of atmospheric sciences, Dr. Andrew Dessler, writes me:
"This report is consistent with the Texas State Government's position of 'See no climate change, hear no climate change, speak no climate change.' The report goes out of its way to try to suggest that the recent drought was entirely due to natural cycles, but that is an untenable scientific position. Given how much carbon we've loaded into the atmosphere, the question is not whether humans are affecting the Texas weather, but exactly how. I'm sorry the report let politics trump science."
The state has already worked to censor efforts to inform citizens on its coast of the impact of warming-driven sea level rise — see Flood-Gate: Perry Officials Try to Hide Sea Level Rise from Texans with "Clear-Cut Unadulterated Censorship."
But this new report is much worse since it bills itself as a planning report for the whole state on its most crucial problem — water:
As Comptroller, one of my responsibilities is to analyze trends that affect the state's bottom line. And the terrible drought of 2011 underlined a particularly important factor that could have far-reaching impacts on Texas' growth and prosperity.
Our water resources are finite. Planning for and managing our water use is perhaps the most important task facing Texas policymakers in the 21st century.
My office is pleased to present Gauging the Economic Impact of the 2011 Drought and Beyond, which discusses the current drought and its impacts on the state; current and future water resources in Texas; and innovative solutions governments in Texas and elsewhere are using to solve the water crisis.
The current drought is the worst single-year Texas drought since record-keeping began — and it may prove to be one of most devastating economic events in our history. Estimates by the Texas AgriLife Extension Service put Texas agricultural losses for the year at $5.2 billion. A December economic analysis by BBVA Compass Bank found that indirect drought losses to the state's agricultural industries could add another $3.5 billion to the toll….
Drought is an ever-present concern in many parts of the state, leading to pressure on our water infrastructure. According to the Texas Water Development Board [TWDB], demand for water will rise by 22 percent by 2060. The board says that, should we experience another multi-year "drought of record" such as that of the 1950s, it could cost Texas businesses and workers $116 billion in income by 2060.
Obviously the Comptroller doesn't really believe that planning for and managing water use could be the most important task facing Texas policymakers — or else her report on the subject would take the subject more seriously and have significant discussions of two key factors, manmade climate change and hydraulic fracking.
Natural gas hydraulic fracturing is perhaps the thirstiest new source of water consumption in the state (see here). The TWDB projects total water usage for fracking statewide was 13.5 billion gallons in 2010 and will likely more than double by 2020. In one District west of Fort Worth, "the share of groundwater used by frackers was 40% in the first half of 2011, up from 25% in 2010." It is inconceivable one could do serious water planning in Texas without an analysis of the impact of fracking. Yet the report says nothing whatsoever about fracking except to put it in a long list of ways one could use treated wastewater.
Many, many recent studies make clear that global warming will be among the biggest drivers of drought and water-related problems in Texas and the rest of the South-West in the coming decades. In 2007, Science (subs. req'd) published research that "predicted a permanent drought by 2050 throughout the Southwest" — levels of aridity comparable to the 1930s Dust Bowl would stretch from Kansas to California.
A 2010 literature review and analysis from the National Center for Atmospheric Research [NCAR], "Drought under global warming" warned:
"The United States and many other heavily populated countries face a growing threat of severe and prolonged drought in coming decades … possibly reaching a scale in some regions by the end of the century that has rarely, if ever, been observed in modern times."
Another 2010 study warned the U.S. southwest could see a 60-year drought like that of 12th century — only hotter — this century:
An unprecedented combination of heat plus decades of drought could be in store for the Southwest sometime this century, suggests new research from a University of Arizona-led team….
"The bottom line is, we could have a Medieval-style drought with even warmer temperatures," [lead author Connie] Woodhouse said.
But the Texas water planning report has nothing to say about global warming. It selectively quotes state Climatologist Dr. John Nielsen-Gammon at length on the causes of 2011′s shortfall in precipitation. It doesn't offer even one of the numerous statements by scientists about the impact of record heat on this drought, including Nielsen-Gammon himself, who said, "There is evidence that global warming has had an effect on the drought, primarily by increasing the surface temperature, which increases the drought severity by increasing evaporation and water stress, and by decreasing stream flow and water supply."
The report itself notes, "drought and unprecedented heat made 2011 the worst year for wildfires in Texas history" — but again is silent on how humans contribute to the unprecedented heat and the ever worsening wildfire seasons.
The report does point out that Texas has been hit by extremely severe droughts in the past:

A quick note, because I didn't feel that I could let the day go by without joining the masses and digitally registering my opinion on that most auspicious holiday that is St. Valentine's Day.
Some take today to celebrate their significant other. A day of chocolates and flowers and cupid and cards. Today is also known as Singles Awareness Day (also-also known as SAD), and most use it as an excuse to be wallow in their "SADness." Then there is the faction known for getting down right militant, declaiming Valentine's Day as a product of crass commercialism, something which they above (*Stick proboscis and posterior high in the atmosphere and walk away muttering.*) . And lastly, this year I have seen for the first time a growing number of posts dedicated entirely to the martyr St. Valentine and honoring his sacrifice.
Personally, I take none of the above perspectives, nor do have a problem with any of them. Heaven knows I have my days to be mushy (rarely), mopey (too often), cynical (frequently), and historical (occasionally). However, on Valentine's Day, I take a different tack. I celebrate love. All loves. I usually have several valentines, if they will have me, and I enjoy just telling people how much I love them. An all inclusive, let's actually try to have fun on a holiday sort of thing.
But perhaps the best part of Valentine's Day? The fact that the one day out of the entire year that is supposedly completely devoted to love, causes more bitter arguments than all the other holidays combined. Now if that's not ironic, I don't know what is.
"Here's to love, in all of its infinite varieties." -Grey Gardens-
Your Valentine,
Nathan Hathaway

"Prophetic antagonist and instigator of quests and missions."
for winter mode that looks pretty snazzy.
"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you arent. " - M. Thatcher
wow I am honestly impressed. 9-5 has come a along way. Nice new shoes!
wow, that whole car is pretty sexy. how does it drive?
Go Green with Diesel.
It drives great. It drives like a much smaller car than it really is, very responsive to steering inputs. The steering feel is great - light, but with good road feel. It centers nicely, has a real solid straight-line track. Gobs of power, of course, 300 hp and 295 ft-lbs. Smooth and fast. Very quiet at freeway speeds.
My old 9-5 has the 2.3 liter turbo four, 230 hp motor. I never thought it as being unrefined, but the contrast between the old Saab motor and the new V6 turbo is just astonishing. Maybe I'm just catching up - I suppose most or all of the high-feature V6's are this smooth these days -- but the V6 turbo is a great motor.
I had the car out on I-35 north of Albert Lea after I picked it up. I thought I was driving 80-85, only to look down at the speedo to discover I was doing 105.
My only real criticism is that it's hard to figure out where the edges of the car are. And it's a big car, so there's less margin for error than you'd like when trying to park it. It does have the parking assist, so it'll beep at you when you get close to something, but I'd rather be able to see the edges of the car if possible. This is a nitpick, though, and it's inherent in the design of most modern cars.
looking nice, tint would go well with the storm trooper business going on.
Goodness I love the new 9-5
Underpaid, Overworked, Under-slept......life of a chef.
I have 20% on sides and 35% on the back window (Legal limit on back) and had 15% all around on my MDX.
I would say that a rear of 35% can be dark at night but still safe, 15 and 20 on the sides can be reflective at times though.
New 9-5 looks good man!
Haha Saab
I have what I assume is 20% all around on my car (state trooper said it let through 23%, so it probably faded a bit). Anyway, if I get pulled over again I'll probably have it removed. It can be a bit dark for spotting things like pedestrians out the side window of the car when there is low ambient combined with headlights coming toward me. I've had both 35% and 50% on cars in the past and it was those were lots more reasonable in the dark, and didn't attract much or any attention from LEOs.

ACFPL Scrapbook Collection |
Tuesday, 29 November 2011 18:54 |
Title: Atlantic City Free Public Library Scrapbook Collection Date: 1911-1954 Collection Number: H035 Extent: 3 cu. ft. Repository: Alfred M. Heston Collection, Atlantic City Free Public Library, 1 North Tennessee Avenue, Atlantic City, NJ 08401, (609) 345-2269. Preferred Citation: Atlantic City Free Public Library Scrapbook Collection, Alfred M. Heston Collection, Atlantic City Free Public Library. Creators: City of Atlantic City Collins, Peggy Farley, James Werth, Margaret IN-DEPTH INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLLECTION Scope and Content: This collection consists of eleven scrapbooks. The first set of scrapbooks – two books – contains newspaper clippings, invitations, pamphlets, flyers and other realia that chronicle the centennial celebration of the City of Atlantic City, the events leading up to the celebration and the celebration's aftermath. The first book in this set, housed in Box 1 of the collection, displays items from 1952 through 1954. The second book in this set, housed in Box 2, displays items from 1953 and 1954. Box 3 of the collection contains eight scrapbooks. Margaret Werth was the daughter of Nicholas Werth. She lived in Absecon Highlands and was a student at the Girls' Vocational School in Atlantic City in the early 1930s. The Margaret Werth scrapbook details her life in the 1920s and 1930s, in particular her 1929 class trip to Washington D.C. Her scrapbook was found by Mr. Arthur Hartwell Jr. in Absecon Highlands and was copied by the library. The original scrapbook is held by Mr. Hartwell. The Martha Leeds Bartlett scrapbook was compiled in 1914. Like Margaret Werth, its contents depict the life of a young Atlantic City woman in early 20th century Atlantic City. It includes newspaper clippings, theater playbills, mementos from Atlantic City High School dances and other social events. It was donated to the library in 2012 by Barbara Helfgott-Hyett, a prominent poet who – in 1989 – wrote a book of poetry titled Natural Law which included poems about the history of Atlantic City. Another scrapbook created by a young Atlantic City High School student is the Ruth Hersh scrapbook, the contents of which date between 1927 and 1931. It contains invitations, letters, dance autograph books and other mementos, newspaper clippings, and events programs from her life as a student at Atlantic City High School. The scrapbook was donated to the library by her family, in 2012, along with a copy of her 1929 Atlantic City High School diploma. The Dorflinger Collection of Hap Farley scrapbooks is a set of three books that follow the political career of Senator Frank S. "Hap" Farley, who served in the New Jersey State Legislature from the early 1940s through the early 1970s. Both scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings related to the activities of Senator Farley. They were donated to the Atlantic City Free Public Library by David D. Dorflinger in 1997. The first of the three scrapbooks in this set was compiled by James Farley and includes articles about Hap Farley's activities in 1941. The other two books were compiled by unknown creators and chronicle Hap Farley's political career from 1945-1946 and 1960-1962, respectively. Franklin Pierce Stoy served as mayor of Atlantic City from 1894 to 1897. News of his death in 1911 was widespread, reaching as far away as West Virginia. Two scrapbooks commemorate his death: one is a book of newspaper clippings – locally and nationally – that describe Mayor Stoy's death. The second is a City Council resolution memorializing the mayor. The provenance of the Franklin Pierce Stoy scrapbooks is unknown. It was discovered within the Heston Collection in January 2007 during a collection inventory. Box 4 of the collection contains one scrapbook. Similar to the Martha Leeds Bartlett and Ruth Hersh scrapbooks, the Peggy Collins scrapbook documents the life of a teenage woman attending Atlantic City High School in 1926 and 1927. Its contents include photographs, letters and other mementos of Peggy Collins' high school experience. It was acquired by ACFPL in 2007 from a private collector. It should be noted that prior to processing, six additional collections – Joe Hooker Post #32 (H041), Col JJ Astor Camp (H073), Gladys Lody Collection (H074), Ed Davis Collection (H075), Bonnie Josephine Collection (H076) and WPG Radio Collection (H077) – were once housed with the ACFPL Scrapbooks Collection. Given that these collections were not truly scrapbooks, they were disassociated from this collection (H035) and given their own collection numbers. OTHER INFORMATION FOR USERS OF THE COLLECTION Access Points: Atlantic City (N.J.) Atlantic City High School Farley, Frank S. Stoy, Franklin Pierce Scrapbooks Related Materials: Atlantic City High School Yearbooks Alfred M.

NMSU Bookstore May Be Ousted
By Whitney Jones
Las Cruces, NM – At the end of February, New Mexico State University released a Request for Proposal, or RFP, asking for offers from companies interested in managing and operating the bookstore on campus--essentially outsourcing it. As KRWG's, Whitney Jones reports, several students and staff at the university worry about how saying so long to NMSU's bookstore will affect the campus.

In order to earn the trip of a lifetime, Scotland sophomore honor-roll student and athlete Kytel Collins-Jackson had to write a short essay detailing the importance of taking such a trip.
The essay combined with Collins-Jackson's exceptional academic record made him a prime candidate for the 'People to People' Ambassador Program, which is aimed at raising global awareness through the interaction of different cultures from around the world.
And as one of 42 high school students selected from more than 400 from throughout North Carolina, Collins-Jackson will pack his bags in June of 2013 for a 20-day educational odyssey throughout Europe, including stops in Greece, Italy and France.
And while he'll barely be halfway through his high school career by then, Collins-Jackson sees the journey as one which will help him reach new horizons as a student, and perhaps most importantly, as a person.
"I'ts going to expand my knowledge of both history and other cultures, and it's a big deal for me because of how hard I worked to earn this chance," Collins-Jackson said. As a member of the Fighting Scots, Collins-Jackson participated on both the varsity soccer and cross country teams at SHS, and has plans of running the 4X8, open 800 and mile when track and field begins in early 2013.
"It's amazing to experience something like this hands-on, because going forward I'll be interacting with all sorts of different people and cultures in the future," he said.
A military man for 13 years, Scotland County Sheriff's Office deputy Preston Jackson had the chance to see the world. From Korea to Kosovo to France, deputy Jackson's service to the United States Army eventually led him back to America, where he was to meet wife of 17-years Gyivan.
Kytel was born at Fort Bragg, N.C.; and now as he glimpses the young adult his son has become, deputy Jackson sees the 15-year-old's forthcoming journey overseas as not just an example of one kid's dedication to setting a goal and accomplishing it.
It's also an opportunity for his son to follow in the footsteps he once traveled, en route to becoming a productive future citizen.
"I want my son to be well-rounded as a person, someone who can relate to the challenges we're facing in Scotland County and our nation," Deputy Jackson said. "Kytel earning this chance symbolizes that a kid from this community can set his mind to something and put in the hard work and dedication to grab it. I'm so proud of him."
Despite the picturesque locations that his fellow students will visit, Collins-Jackson's trek is no mere sight-seeing excursion.
Collins-Jackson will play the role of student ambassador, and he will be expected to be well-versed in the culture and government of each country. He will meet with his fellow ambassadors once a month until the trip and learn customs, currencies, languages and prominent political figures.
Being a student ambassador is not something unfamiliar to Collins-Jackson, as he currently participates in the Technology Science Association, Student Adisory Council, Key Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
But the road to making the trip happen is not without challenges: Collins-Jackson has been tasked with raising $7,600 to cover his expenses including travel, room and board.
Fortunately for the Collins-Jackson family, the residents of Scotland County have already proven, as they have in the past, that they are willing to support one of their own.
An upcoming bake sale (held at Scotland County's Clerk of Court) and a fundraiser raffle (held at the Sheriff's Office) both occurring this Valentine's Day are but two examples of the local community responding to the Collins-Jackson family's need for financial help. The Sheriff's Office fundraiser will award prizes including an I-Pad Mini, 42" LCD TV and $100 cash to raffle winners.
"The support we've already received has been surreal and phenomenal," Gyvian Collins-Jackson said. "From schools and churches we don't attend to perfect strangers, it humbles us to be part of a community that wants to see someone from here succeed."
And one local church in particular who has adopted Collins-Jackson's cause has but a single request of the SHS sophomore.
"Some of their members of Newlight Holiness Church said they never had the chance to do something like this, and they were excited to help us," Deputy Jackson said. "All they ask of Kytel is that he documents his experience and shares it with them."

Equities Rebound on German Business Confidence as Euro Weakens
Feb. 22 (Bloomberg) -- Global stocks rebounded from the worst slump since November as German business confidence rose more than forecast. The euro weakened to a six-week low and German notes advanced as European banks planned to repay less emergency loans than forecast. Treasuries rose for a third day.
The MSCI All-Country World Index climbed 0.3 percent after sinking 1.8 percent in the previous two days amid concern the Federal Reserve will scale back stimulus. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index advanced 1.1 percent, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.5 percent. The S&P GSCI Index of 24 raw materials increased 0.2 percent. The euro fell 0.2 percent to $1.3166 and the yield on German two-year government bonds lost four basis points to 0.13 percent. The Australian dollar rallied.
German business confidence increased to a 10-month high in February, adding to signs that Europe's largest economy is gathering strength. In the U.S., American International Group Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. helped lead gains in stocks after reporting quarterly results that beat analysts' estimates. The S&P 500 trimmed its first weekly decline of the year.
"A lot of people have been looking for pullbacks in the market to put money at work in equities," said Brian Amidei, a Palm Desert, California-based managing director at HighTower Advisors. His firm manages about $25 billion. "The market got a lift from fourth quarter earnings, it will do well this year but we will have some volatility in between as we're starting to see now."
'Too Far'
The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities is still set for a third week of declines, the longest slump since May. China's government told local authorities to curb real-estate speculation, euro-area services and manufacturing shrank in February and concern grew that the U.S. may curtail stimulus. Italy's parliamentary election starts on Sunday.
"The market got a little too far, too fast," Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Philadelphia-based Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, which oversees $55 billion, said on Bloomberg Television's "First Up" with Susan Li. "But at the same time improving economic fundamentals over the course of 2013 and a profit picture that came through earnings looking a little better than what was expected all bode well for stock prices to continue to advance."
The S&P 500 rebounded from a two-day, 1.9 percent drop, its worst since Nov. 8. Hewlett-Packard, the largest personal- computer maker, rallied 9.3 percent after the company's forecast for fiscal second-quarter profit exceeded analyst estimates.
AIG Climbs
American International Group Inc., the insurer that repaid a U.S. bailout, gained 3.5 percent after reporting an unexpected operating profit. AIG plans to rebuild life insurance sales outside the U.S. after selling operations in Asia and Europe to help repay a taxpayer bailout, Chief Executive Officer Robert Benmosche said.
AIG replaced Apple Inc. as the top-held stock among hedge funds in the fourth quarter, according to a report from Goldman Sachs Group Inc., as hedge funds became more bullish on equities than they have been in six years. Net long exposure to stocks in hedge funds climbed to 52 percent in the fourth quarter, matching the 10-year high reached in the first quarter of 2007, a team led by Goldman Sachs' Amanda Sneider and David Kostin said in a Feb. 20 report.
Bernanke, Bubbles
Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke minimized concerns that the central bank's easy monetary policy has spawned economically- risky asset bubbles in comments at a meeting with dealers and investors this month, according to three people with knowledge of the discussions. The people, who asked not to be identified because the talks were private, said Bernanke made the remarks at a meeting in early February with the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee. Fed spokeswoman Michelle Smith declined to comment.
The Fed chairman brushed off the risks of asset bubbles in response to a presentation on the subject from the group, one person said. Among the concerns raised, according to this person, were rising farmland prices and the growth of mortgage real estate investment trusts. Falling yields on speculative- grade bonds also were mentioned as a potential concern, two people said.
"The way we look at it, this may well be sowing the seeds of a bubble in the asset markets," Larry Kantor, the New York- based head of research at Barclays Plc, said in a radio interview with Tom Keene on "Bloomberg Surveillance." "Every cycle has its own idiosyncrasies and new things. The new thing this time is central banks buying assets, really circumventing the banking system. This whole idea of massive expansion of central bank balance sheets is the new thing."
European Markets
Almost five shares gained for each one that fell in the Stoxx 600 after the gauge sank 1.5 percent yesterday. Elan Corp. climbed 4.9 percent in Dublin as the drugmaker said it plans to buy back $1 billion of stock after selling its stake in the Tysabri multiple sclerosis treatment to Biogen Idec Inc. Fuchs Petrolub AG rose 5.4 percent as the German lubricant maker reported earnings that beat projections.
The Ifo institute in Munich said its business climate index advanced to 107.4 this month from 104.3 in January. Economists had predicted a reading of 104.9, according to the median of 38 forecasts in a Bloomberg survey.
"Germany is the anchor of Europe," Tobias Britsch, who helps manage about $34 billion as European equities asset manager at Meriten Investment Management GmbH, said by phone from Dusseldorf, Germany. "After yesterday, when you saw investors getting more nervous and all blame was on Italian elections and on the suggestion the Fed may stop asset purchases, any pullback is definitely an opportunity to buy."
Euro Economy
Even so, the European Commission downgraded its outlook for the euro-area economy today. Gross domestic product in the 17- nation region will shrink 0.3 percent this year, compared with a November prediction of 0.1 percent growth, the Brussels-based commission forecast.
The European Central Bank said financial institutions will return 61.1 billion euros ($80.5 billion) of its second loan program next week, half the amount estimated by economists.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index slipped 0.2 percent after the gauge's biggest drop in seven months yesterday erased this year's gains. The Shanghai Composite Index retreated 0.5 percent, capping its worst week in 20 months.
Commodities advanced for the first time in five days, after the S&P GSCI gauge fell 1.6 percent yesterday, the most since November. Soybeans rose 0.9 percent, the fifth consecutive advance, on increased U.S. exports. Nickel climbed 0.2 percent as the relative strength index slipped to 30 yesterday, the level that indicates to some analysts who study technical charts that a rebound in prices may be imminent.
'Dramatic Fall'
West Texas Intermediate oil futures for April delivery slipped 0.2 percent to $92.62 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile, after slumping about 4 percent during the prior two days.
"We saw a bit of a rebound off that dramatic fall," said Jeremy Friesen, a commodity strategist at Societe Generale SA in Hong Kong. "With the lack of any significant news we're seeing a bit of squaring of positions. It's a dead-cat bounce."
The euro erased an earlier gain of as much as 0.4 percent against the dollar. Some 356 financial institutions will hand back 61.1 billion euros of ECB loans on Feb. 27, the first opportunity for early repayment of the second Longer Term Refinancing Operations, the central bank said. The median forecast of economists in a Bloomberg News survey was for 122.5 billion euros to be repaid.
Emergency Loans
In addition, nine banks will return 1.7 billion euros borrowed in the first three-year LTRO. That takes the total amount of funds repaid early to 212.3 billion euros. The ECB flooded financial markets with more than 1 trillion euros in three-year loans a year ago after banks stopped lending to each other because of Europe's debt crisis.
Australia's dollar climbed 0.6 percent to $1.0303. Glenn Stevens, governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, said interest-rate reductions are working. He endorsed the current level of rates today and said he'd need to be confident the currency is "seriously overvalued" before considering intervention to weaken it. New Zealand's currency advanced 0.2 percent to 83.56 U.S. cents after a report showed credit card spending rose for a third-straight month in January.

"Time For CD" Tips Needed

So I visited that Net-Models website that was mentioned by StuartE in the $200 / month forum and was amazed to see just how bad alot of these "models" portfolio photos really are. Now I'm not a great photographer but I'm pretty sure I could do better than that!
Does anyone have any good tips on how to find local models willing to do "Trade for Photos" work? And what is common practice for this? Should I just be providing prints? How many and what size would be fair do you think? Or maybe just digital files on a CD? What should be done, besides the obvious model release, to protect myself, and even promote myself, as the photographer? Any tips / suggestions would be much appreciated.

Well, for a start, contact any models on there who are in your area - the search is very easy to use - and yes, many of them have really bad photo's - they're not imaging experts, they don't know how to resize, and often it's the boyfriend/relatives telling them they could be a model - many of them have no modelling skill either - it's up to you to direct them...
Show them the quality of work you do - take a look at my portfolio there - stuarte.net-model.com - the shots don't have to be perfect glamour shots, just good clean images... look for people who are already willing to do shoots for photo's, before you try your skills on 'models' who are negotiable - they expect better work... :-)
Always act professional - one bad experience and your name will be mud on all the model sites... :-)
Get them to sign a model release before you start the shoot - make it clear what they will get for their time - how many shots, a cd, prints, etc... give them full size images, and good quality resized images for posting - help them look good and they'll help you look good...

Great portfolio Stuart,
Unfortunately for me there is nobody on that site in my area... But I suppose a paper ad. or flyers on community boards might work? I only have 1 or 2 relevant photos in my portfolio - how do you get started and build such a portfolio? I suppose actually being really good in other areas may help :-)
You are always so quick to help out Stuart, much appreciated...
Can I ask what you personally offer in terms of photographic compensation?

Hi Stan,
Sorry, I missed a heap of posts when I dropped in and didn't get to view/reply to them all, and they all end up marked as read now each time you visit...
There are other sites for models to list on, too - net-model.com works for me because they have Australian Models - but I know another friend found a site that had 35 in his area, and net-model only had 4, so it's worth shopping around...
Ad's anywhere can work - I've found models looking for more for their portfolio at the cafe next door to a talent agency here in the city - word of mouth between them helped pay for my 10D... :-)
If there is a camera club in your area, shots at them can help build your portfolio up - but so can shooting family and friends - you don't need model perfect features in all your shots - just the ability to show your skill - offer to do a 'free' shoot at an old folks home, so they can get prints to give their families - near Christmas is a no brainer for that one, btw... find a club or organisation locally and offer to shoot them all for their 'membership' files - give them a CD rather than prints... there are any number of ways to build up a portfolio to give yourself credentials...
Photographic compensation - for a model doing TFP with me, they'll get a selection of the best shots, which I'd use myself, as 6X4's, or a CD of the whole shoot... with a CD, I'd prep a few shots, usually those I want to use anyway, and give them those too, so they can see the difference editing makes... lately I've given proofs as A4 colour laser prints - people are happy with them, and under plastic in a portfolio they're up there with inkjet prints... I have joined with 4 other guys in a two hour figure shoot for $25 a head, and we all got good images out of that, and some experience on how others work - and in club shoots, we usually all chip in $2 plus some prints to cover the models travel expenses, and to give them something in return...

is a great place to start...
I started by putting up flyers at the college......but now i get all my models I go after from the site above. If itr isnt from that site its through word of mouth and they contact me.
I offer cd only and make sure they know what I want before the shoot happens and get a release.
Simply ask...worse thing that will happen is they'll say no.

I am both photographer and model. I have arranged TFCD as well as paid shoots through the internet for some time now (on both sides).
To find models:
You can sign up and search from many online modeling sites:
The largest and most well known is
it costs $10 to join as a photographer. There are a LOT of models on there, mostly from the states, but a lot of them dont seem to be too serious.
My favorite is
they just went from having free accounts to chargeing a min of $36 a year. Thats not bad when you think about it, especilly since the models seem to be more resposive and the forums are also quite nice. (similar to these forums, but more models and less stock)
There is also
as previously mentioned, might pick up now with mc being pay. But there is too wide a variety of models (as in location) and personally I dont like the way the portfolios are set up.
is ok, I like the portfolio set up, but the forums suck, they have little activity, and you have to be a certain leval to post in a lot of them. They are also one of those "oh we dont like what you say" *poof* type places.....
TFP vs TFCD
TFP is old. Back in the day photographers shot film, there wernt as many pics and it was expensive to provide a copy of each image to the model, so the model would get 2-5 8X10s for thier book. Now with digital becoming standard (even for photogs that shoot with film) TFCD is waaaayyy more common. I have done lots of shoots, and only once did a photog give me prints, and those came along with the CD.
As a photog my standard TFCD release includes:
Raw images of the shoot on CD. (sometimes I ask if they want these or not, they are useuful if the model is trying something new and wants to see how it turned out)
Some touched up/edited images ready for print, on CD.
Permission to print images from CD for portfolio.
Permission to edit/crop/manipulate images when used for own self-promotion
Once as a model I recived a disk of images that were only 500pixles across or so. What use are these to me if I need to print them for a tangible book? (this was a full day shoot btw, if it had been a paid shoot I should have made a min of $600)
Some photogs dont give raw images, only thier best work is sent out. Some dont like the idea of the model croping thier work. That is fine too but make sure the model knows this before the shoot, and the images you give her should still be a decent resolution.
as the photographer you own the copyright. Most online modeling sites let you link to the photogs/models port on the site. If the model choses to put your pics in her port then she should credit and link to you (if you are on that site as well). This will let other models and phtographers see who shot the image and promote you.
I always include a .txt on the cd with my online ports and how to link to them, as well as a reminder that the images are all copyrighted by me. Even on the cd face I put a big COPYRIGHT JTEFFECTS 2005. Some photogs put the copyright right on the images, but that can get annoying, and its not good for a printed book.

Wow JT, what a great response! Thank you so much for the info, exactly the kind of stuff I was hoping to learn from this topic :-)
500 PIXELS ??? Yikes, that sucks! But hey, on the up side you could post one on this forum and not have to resize ;-). It's great to hear from an actual model on this topic - thank you so much for your post.
Now I just need to hone my skills some more on friends / family and work up the courage to actually ask a REAL model to work with me ;-)

Optimism prevailed at the 2013 Americas Lodging Investment Summit, which was attended by nearly 2,500 industry leaders this week in Los Angeles. The theme, "On with the Show," rang especially true, as demand growth continues to outpace supply, revenue per available room (RevPAR) is expected to grow, and transaction volume increases. According to STR data, a record of 91.7 million room nights were sold in the U.S. in December.
Hotel executives who spoke during the opening sessions shared their bullish outlooks for the year ahead. Mit Shah, CEO of Noble Investment Group, said demand outpaced expectations in 2012, as business transient customers viewed travel as more of an investment as opposed to discretionary spend.
Shah still expects there will be some give and take with businesses in 2013. Noble will be putting a lot of stock in the request for proposal process and obtaining rate premiums, but pricing will ultimately be determined on a market by market basis. "We want people in our hotels to be able to take risks in terms of pricing because that's really where the momentum is going to come from," he said.
As employment rates improved, leisure business bounced back for Choice Hotels in 2012, said the company's CEO Steve Joyce. Choice experienced a strong summer that continued into fall, he added, and development was up significantly each quarter. He expects the industry to regain RevPAR in 5, 6, and 7 percent increments in the next three or four years. "Barring something unforeseen, we should have a pretty good year."
Robert Gaymer-Jones, CEO of Sofitel Worldwide, said Sofitel had the highest single digit growth in RevPAR globally, mostly driven by rate. Rates are back to 2007 levels at the majority of the 123 Sofitel hotels around the world, he added, with Southeast Asia and Europe performing particularly strong.
"We feel very bullish in our sector of the industry," Gaymer-Jones said. "Across the globe, except for when you have some hiccups like the Arab Spring and the impact of Egypt and a few locations like that, we feel pretty good about it and 2013 will be a continuation."
Former Starbucks CEO Jim Donald, now CEO of Extended Stay Hotels and a newcomer to the industry, spent the bulk of 2012 visiting about 40 percent of the portfolio. He realized that the company had basically been left alone for nearly a decade without any capital invested into it. "Of all the companies I've been with, with the exception of Starbucks, I've never had a company that had such an opportunity in pricing," Donald said. "Once you put capital with it, all that's needed then is the day-to-day service that differentiates us from those that we compete with."
In terms of how government regulations, such as the new health care legislation, will impact the bottom line, Shah says it's a matter of wait and see. "We're confronted with a lot of different challenges in our business and regulation is just simply one of them," he said. Factors such as how new supply will translate into true pricing opportunity and upcoming capital expenditures need to be considered too. "This is a real time in our industry where we have to challenge how we operated in times past and is it the way to operate going forward?" Shah said.
Joyce said brands have an obligation to help involve their owners in a concerted effort to communicate with legislators as health care, labor, and other issues loom large. Joyce said the threat is as great as ever for regulations that would be disruptive and add more costs for businesses, such as efforts to unionize hotels. On the positive side, he said strides are being made to increase the number of foreign travelers to the U.S. through the expansion of the visa waiver program.
"We need a regular ongoing dialogue where we are seen as a powerful force in Washington that's supportive when things go the right way," Joyce said, "but that punishes when things go the wrong way."

Even before I write about the place I shall appreciate the heart-warming service extended to us by Gopal and Babu. The place is really close to nature with a private beach right in front which can be viewed directly from the rooms.

"good socks" (E869)
"Nice cap" (E20535)
"Great product !! As each winter season approaches I generally look for something to offer a bit more cold weather protection than last season. Was surfing the 'net and found thid reference to Epic Sports and "viola"---short sleeved mocks. We, here in Kentucky, don't get really cold temps over extended periods so these seemed perfect to wear under a fleece or even a sports shirt. They are! Washed all three and confirm that, if done properly, there was little or no shrinkage. 100% cotton makes for a comfortable fit. Great product, great fit, great price,and.....AND made in the U.S.A."

Rabobank International and its subsidiaries have a part to play in the retention of Rabobank's leading position in the Dutch market. In the rest of the world, Rabobank is looking to present itself as a cutting-edge and leading food and agri bank.
The social landscape and banking climate are undergoing rapid change. Rabobank employees will need to adapt to these developments since they are the face of the bank and can make a difference.

For Rabobank, 2012 was a difficult year without any economic recovery. The Dutch economy contracted more in 2012 than foreseen at the beginning of the year.
136 Local Rabobanks. 826 Branches. 1.9 million members. Total assets 752,410 million. Net profit 2,112 million. Tier 1 ratio 17.2%.
The economic situation combined with the uncertainty in the Dutch housing market led to low demand for loans and mortgages.
Growth in loan portfolio in the Netherlands more or less ground to a halt because of the economic situation and the uncertainty in the Dutch housing market.
Rabobank Group's amounts due to customers were up 1% in 2012, rising to EUR 334.3 (329.9) billion.
Rabobank Group's equity amounted to EUR 44.6 (45.0) billion at year-end 2012.
Because of developments in profit, the return on tier 1 capital, which is the ratio of net profit to tier 1 capital at the beginning of the year, fell by 2.0 percentage points to 5.6% (7.6%) in 2012.

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton has opened a Shanghai outpost centered on intellectual property work to bolster its Asia presence.
The firm opened an office in Taipei, Taiwan, in January 2011, coinciding with the merger of Atlanta's Kilpatrick Stockton and San Francisco IP firm Townsend, Townsend & Crews. The Townsend firm already had an office in Tokyo.
"This is our first step into China, which we are extremely excited about," said Paul Aguggia, Kilpatrick's chairman.
Aguggia said the office would initially play to the firm's strength in intellectual property -- both patent procurement and litigation -- with the idea of expanding into corporate work such as joint ventures.
"The needs in China match our practice," he said. "The opportunities in China and Asia are vast."
Two lawyers from Kilpatrick's Denver office have moved to Shanghai to run the office. Kenneth Chang, an IP litigator who became the head of Townsend's Asia practice five years ago, is the managing partner. He is joined by associate Charles Gray, also from Denver.
Chang said Kilpatrick started planning a Shanghai office after the dust settled from the merger. "This is something we've been wanting to do for quite some time," he said.
The firm has operated in China for 20 years, but Chinese clients were requesting an office, he said -- and an opportunity to locate in the Zhangjiang High-Tech Park provided the needed impetus. The government-owned development zone, which has been called China's Silicon Valley, spans 25 square kilometers and houses about 2,000 high-tech companies.
"The opportunity to take space in the science park was something we couldn't pass up," Chang said. "From my office window, I'm looking at 30 different high-tech companies."
Kilpatrick received its license for the office from the Chinese government a week and a half ago, Chang said. The approval process is lengthy and complex; it takes six to nine months to get the needed approvals from the Chinese Ministry of Justice, he said, as well as from other ministries and the city of Shanghai.

Detroit Pistons vs Atlanta Hawks Wednesday April 7 7:30 pm Local TV: FS Detroit Plus Nat'l TV: Radio: 950 WWJ
From the gritty city of Compton, #22 for you, The Prince... Tayshaun Prince... will miss the game for personal reasons.
Charlie "Charlie Says" Villanueva and Ben "Shoot it again" Gordon had themselves a couple of fine games. That DaJuan Summers move early under the basket was a thing of beauty. Last night, Rodney took a lickin' and he kept on tickin', but tonight, Rodney was hurtin' for certain and getting hurt again didn't help, but that didn't stop us from playing a darn good game. Darn, we won. Darn.
Pistons blow another loss and now find themselves now holding the 6th spot and a game out of 7th....WTF...the next 5 Piston years may have been determined by the outcome of these last two wins.... Whats with this franchise, even when we win, we lose.....Now unless we lose out the best we can probably do is 5th.....
Gaahhhh. Can't this team do anything [STRIKE]right[/STRIKE] wrong??? At least Golden State won. Wiz and Philly lost.
Yea that top 3-5 spot would have been a nice prize after endouring this season. Good news is that we will still have a lot of ping pong balls and some of the newer Pistons are finally starting to show something. I was especially impressed with Day.
Very good game tonight. Still showing the need for a quality PG. Absolutely no offensive movement on the inside...all perimeter shooters. Draft won't make that much difference, except for a slip-up and we get W. Johnson. Outstanding player and watch him become ROY. This could mean RIP is gone, and for sure Tay.
We still have a chance to get into the top 3, but could end up 8th. It's nice -really nice - watching Daye play well. I still think he's got a chance to be a star in this league. Stuckey, Jerebko and Daye - that would give us 3 really good core players to build around.
Good win. Made lots at the Palace happy for sure. Yes, indeed, as some have noted, we sure can be a pretty darn good team. Like last night vs. Philly, when we got a whole ton of fast break points. Can you imagine that happening with Rip in the lineup, who can't finish a fast break properly or set a good finish up? Or Tay with his bad back running that hard that consistently? And how did we score? A whole lot inside. No Rip to set us back into shooting jumpers. Nor Tay to 2nd the theme. All three rooks played minutes. Daye started and had a career game. Within that, we saw him step up and can a three when we were desperate to score a point to stop a big Atlanta run. And play after play, on both ends of the floor. Sorry, I will divert for just a bit of coach bashing. How dare he claim Daye has been making progress this season. The fact is, he is just getting a chance to play - a chance denied him far too long. Gordon had a pretty good game. Would have been an excellent one without all his miscues on ball handling. But hey, Stuckey is sidelined for the moment with bruised ribs, so Gordon had to do a bit more than is comfortable. Atkins got in the game briefly, just enough to give each of Bynum and Gordon a bit of a breather around the start of the 4th quarter. He did fine. Hit a triple, tried his very best on D. Yes, I was relieved when coach pulled him soon. Playing Atkins strictly as an emergence stopgap measure ain't too bad. Just wish he had not played so much earlier in the season. Tay missed this one for personal business. Maxiell is still out with a back issue. Rip is out with an ankle problem. Stuckey only played a bit of this one as he got that bruised rib poked again mid-1st quarter. He did come back briefly, got hit yet again there and called it a night. I suppose his minutes helped in the long run - letting Gordon and Bynum be fresher for the end of the game. And Gordon really used that extra energy on some key defensive plays. CV scored a bit, inside and out. Like it should be. Nice to have Rip sitting out. Gordon scored plenty, Inside and out. Good to have Rip sitting. I know some just won't see it, but Rip shooting all those jumpers is indeed a bad influence of the team. Tay is not quite as bad, but he too looks to the outside jumper way too much. In this game, at the end when we were down - we kept going inside and got back in the game, and then won it - staying primarily with an inside game. Great to watch. Bynum had a fine game. Hit some outside shots, and got inside plenty. Summers had that one drive and serious dunk. JJ got a big rebound to help clinch the thing. Everyone made their free throws, including 4-4 from Big Ben Wallace - who also was there making the big defensive stop at the end of the game. Back to Daye. Inside scoring, step up midrangers, a three. A double double to boot. Not to mention that a whole lot of Hawk players thought better of challenging Daye around the perimeter - especially after his 3rd block. And he got a fourth one that won't count in the books since the ball still went toward the basket even though he got a major piece of it. I think that was his 2nd start of the season. He sarted at shooting guard once. (small forward tonight. He was never used as a shooting guard as far as I recall tonight.) The game was a lot of fun to watch. Hope a lot of you got to enjoy it. Have a good night all.
That's about as much love as I could reasonably expect. Thanks Lee! I appreciate the effort, and I am sure many others here do as well.
Hate I missed this one.......hate I haven't been around....missed y'all.....but the future Mrs.KGREG, has me smitten, and well, y'all know how that goes..........and NO it's not Planette Pierson......Dang IT!
Sounds like if we had had Rip, Tay, Max and Stuckey as the third squad with either none or minimal minutes from the start and there were no injuries to CV, Bynum or Gordon, we could have won 40+ games this year.

We're fairly flexible, what times can you/would you prefer to do?
"Thought begets heresy: Heresy begets retribution."
I'm interested, I am in Eastern Europe so a game at GMT sounds good, especially on weekends. What times do you usually play?
As before, we're pretty flexible. So let me know what times you can do. We tend to have a fairly long session (with breaks) and fairly regularly would do 6+ hours.
To you both, id like to hold a Skype session where you can listen to and talk to the other players and see what you think, and not just from me this Sunday. Does that sound like something you'd like to do?
Id be holding it around 11. If not i could change the time to something more convenient?
"Thought begets heresy: Heresy begets retribution."
I will be at a conference until late Saturday evening, so I will have to check at what time I can make it on Sunday. I hope I'll be able to make it, though!
I'm going to withdraw my interest. The timezone difference for me is just too much. I hope the other guy works out and good luck with your game. I need to find a group in the US.

Update is too slow and takes too much time?Download latest Version at \http://jdownloader.org/download
JDownloader is a download manager mainly used for downloading from file sharing sites
JDownloader is a free, open-source download management tool with a huge community of developers that makes downloading as easy and fast as it should be. Users can start, stop or pause downloads, set bandwith limitations, auto-extract archives and much more. It's an easy-to-extend framework that can save hours of your valuable time every day!
you can use it to download from file sharing sitesbut it also works perfectly for direct downloads
It can also manage http or ftp downloads quite well.
The d4x is put on hold as it will only run at low speed for me. Would be interested to hear if anybody is running it successfully at high speed?Two things has happened, jDownloader is running right now doing a test where I scheduled the start of the download and I have changed mirror for the time being. This is allowing me to run at sustained 320 kB/s which I am quite happy with as it brings an ISO download down around the 1 hour. During this period my speed variations should be minimal.jDownloaderThis is not a program that "sits" right with me but with perseverance and time I think I may be happy enough with what I need it for. The things that struck me:1.. Initial start is a very sparse window, which just wants to get going doing an update of some time. I was not comfortable as there was little explanation why this should happen. I followed the advice to let it finish an update, after which the the windows became more "normal".2.. It took me some time realising that there was a scheduling window, but it is not visible by default and I thought it belonged to "premium" offer, where you pay. 3.. Have taken me some time to figure out how to get a link into the right place for a download. 4.. Started trying to come to grips with the Knowledgebase offered on the developers website. Where I eventually found very clear instructions on how to install and the options to choose. To my surprise I found that I had done the right thing. For a beginner I find it requires some extra effort not to drop it because of complexity. Interesting to see how it goes.

The parents of Chicago shooting victim Hadiya Pendleton will join First Lady Michelle Obama at the State of the Union address on Tuesday, as the president urges Congress to combat gun violence.
Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton and Nathaniel A. Pendleton's daughter Hadiya was shot and killed on Chicago's South Side in January, just days after the teenager traveled to Washington, D.C., to mark the president's inauguration.
She was an honors student and band majorette at King College Prep High School.
According to the White House, the first lady's box at the address will include Americans from middle-class families whose lives the president believes would be improved by his policy proposals. Obama will talk about how to help victims of gun violence, military families and immigrants, aides say.
