Can you ship this to Canada?
Fur Finley
Well according to backcountry's site, they say that they can't ship Salomon Alpine and XC Skis. But say nothing about snowboards. So if they have everything printed correctly you should be ok. You can go ahead and try to order it and if they aren't allowed to ship this out of the US then they'll just cancel your order.

If you pay with Credit card the currency should automatically be converted, but expect high shipping costs and a few weeks for it to get there. Hope i could be of help.
Rode the board a couple of time so far and I am very impressed with the performance. The dampening is awesome allows for a very smooth ride. The sidecut also is very smooth in transition but the torsional flex gives out in a hard carve in soft snow. Overall very fun, really easy to butter and had great pop.

Today features one of the best rivalries in the English Premier League, the Merseyside Derby. The match features Liverpool and Everton, two teams whose stadiums sit less than a mile apart from each other. It's going to be a great game, both teams are in the top 6 of the standings and of course it's a local rivalry. Rivalries raise the stakes of a game beyond the normal win or loss, it becomes about pride. England doesn't get all of them, there are several in America which shouldn't be missed. Here are just a few of the greatest MLS rivalries to look forward to this year.
(Side note: We Americans call a more-than-usually-heated game a rivalry; the folks across the pond seem to think that it's called a derby (pronounced: daarbee). It's weird, but not that big a deal, so let's not make too much fun of them for it.)
Sporting Kansas City and Houston Dynamo
There are only a few guarantees in life: death, taxes, and SKC facing Houston in the playoffs — alright, that's a slight exaggeration. Sporting and Houston have met in the playoffs the past three seasons with Houston coming out on top twice. It isn't one of the more traditional rivalries — they aren't considerably close in term of geography, Houston normally calls FC Dallas as their main rival, SKC calls Chicago theirs — but in recent history these two clubs have always played closely contested games when the other is on the field.
Houston Dynamo and FC Dallas
Staying in Texas, these two clubs were rivals from the moment that Houston joined the league in 2006. You've heard it before, "Everything's bigger in Texas" and, although that phrase is a little overused, it is generally true, and it's no different when they do rivalry trophies, just look at the trophy (pictured right). It's a replica 18th century mountain howitzer cannon, nicknamed "El Capitan" and it gets moved back and forth between the stadiums depending on who won the most recent game. Although Houston holds the overall winning record (5-2-1), FC Dallas currently displays "El Capitan" in their stadium.
New York Red Bulls and D.C. United
The oldest rivalry in the MLS features one team with the most trophies in the league and one that didn't have a single one until this last season. Yes, it's the good ol' Atlantic Cup between the United (the team with all the trophies) and New York (who just won the 2013 Supporter's Shield). The Atlantic Cup started back in 1996, and the United have done most of the winning, but the Red Bulls have lost only once in the last seven meetings to make the all-time record a little more respectable, but it's still in D.C.'s favor at 39-22-10 though all competitions.
Rivalries add more color to the game, and no moment adds more to the legend of this rivalry than when Alecko Eskandarian scored for the Union, and then proceeded to drink from a can of Red Bull and spit it back out in disgust. Though it's not utterly pretty or extremely creative, it's funny, and something the D.C. fans will have forever.
San Jose Earthquakes and LA Galaxy
It's the California Clásico, one of the top 3 best rivalries in MLS. From 2001 to 2005, this series was truly rocking as both teams were regularly rocking winning records and even met in the 2001 MLS Cup Final which San Jose won, 2-1. And guess what? You can watch the entire 2001 Final through YouTube. If you watch that game you'll notice a young Landon Donovan playing for the Quakes. It's where he started his career, winning two MLS Cups with the Quakes before eventually moving on to the Galaxy where he helped win three. It's amazing that the story of this rivalry will always contain the best player in U.S. history.
This past season, the two battled in one of the best game of the season (in my opinion, it was the best). Below are the highlights to that game, and I highly encourage you to watch it, at least the last three minutes. Seriously, it's worth your time.
Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids
RSL join the league in 2005. Also joining the league in 2005 was the Rocky Mountain Cup, a rivalry where elevation is pride. The trophy is given based off of the most points earned in games played directly between the two, and RSL has taken home the trophy 6 out of 9 years, but it is Colorado that were awarded the Cup in 2013. The all-time series record is held by the Rapids, but by the slimmest of margins: the record stands 10-9-9. With both teams making the playoffs in 2013, we should all be graced by a resurgence to greatness with this underrated rivalry.
Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders
There is only one reason that you wouldn't know this rivalry would be on the list: you intentionally avoid soccer. Portland and Seattle make up two-thirds of the Cascadia Cup (the other third being the Vancouver Whitecaps), and, boy, do they make it interesting. The teams are all secluded up in their Northwest corner with no other professional cross-city sport to vent their hatred of each other (moment of silence for the Sonics . . .), they truly love to hate each other. In fact their mid-August game in 2013 was the second most attended game in MLS history*. If you have a friend that doesn't know what it's like to see true passion among sports fans, show them the what happens when the Sounders venture into Portland. I've only been watching MLS since the beginning of last year, and honestly the Portland crowd drew me in like little else (other than SKC being so awesome).
* – 67,385 was the official count. I'm going to insert my own conjecture here — I think the 'largest' crowd isn't exactly fair. In some cases, clubs could be pulling more fans if the stadiums were bigger. For instance, the MLS Cup Final in Kansas City was capped at ~22,000 due to the size of Sporting Park. What would it actually have been if they had more seats?

I've written in the past about the evolution of our culture at Buffer. One of the things we started...
Disclosure: I'm a startup guy, business developer, events organiser and advisor @ TransferGo. Here I express my views and encourage others to debate them. Thank you for spending your time reading this.
I want to talk about the first 1% of your startup – that's the idea.
Entrepreneurs come up with many ideas, which at the moment of inception sound exciting enough to give you that much-awaited portion of dopamine surge. You know what I mean, right? Like most of us I tend to write my "dopamine" moments on a special notepad. By now I have more than four of them filled up.
Surprisingly enough (or maybe not), after a while majority of my old ideas don't seem to look that creative, smart or innovative.
Yet a few of them still ring a bell. So how to pick the one and try running with it?
I believe that the sole purpose of technology/innovation is to make the future more productive, more social, more entertaining, more… etc. In a word – better.
I think startups are one of the most powerful tools out there able to tangibly improve people's lives. That's what they are all about. Money should be treated as a by-product, right?
So how to think about the few decent ideas left on the notepad. I'd like to construct a simplistic framework for entrepreneurs on how to do it.
I'd like to categories "the few notepad survivors" into three categories.
Out of the last few ideas-survivors on my notepad I'd choose one, which would potentially do good in one of these categories and then go on testing if it will.
Let me give you some examples of companies who represent these categories quite well.
The pain ideas.
Skype – made international calls accessible to everyone by substantially cutting down prices. Sorry if the examples look a bit boring.
All of us should remember the pre-Skype world when calling abroad was a luxury reserved for larger business or wealthy people. Skype removed the barriers and made global communication available for all. They made the world smaller, more inclusive, and dynamic. But most importantly by solving a huge pain they've disrupted an old-fashion telecommunications market and opened new horizons for businesses and global connectivity.
The good news is that unlike the "real value" or "addictiveness" ideas you can test if the problem hurts your target audience enough so they'd pay for the solution.
That's why I think "pain" solutions are an ideal pick for first-time entrepreneurs:
Don't get me wrong. Bringing "pain" idea to the market is as difficult as any other idea. But at least you'll know fairly early if it's something people want to use/consume/pay money for.
Important detail. Keywords here are "real" and "pain".
When you start testing the good ideas on your notepad be open and objective by picking the one with serious problem to solve in a market that's long overdue for disruption, especially if your goal is to build a business out of it. Only if the problem is serious enough and the solution is good enough will people pay you money for it.
Let's move on to Real Value creators.
AirBnB added a lot of real value to millions of homeowners and is now evaluated north of $2B.
For those who don't know AirBnB is an online platform where you can rent out a room or bed in your house for a certain time period.
So what's the core difference between pain and value ideas?
If you've got an unused room (bed) in your house it's not really a huge pain, right?
Yes, you may be paying a bit more in utilities than you should but that's not painful enough. However, with AirBnB you can earn an additional $21k annual income (that's how much an average AirBnB host earns annually in NYC) which is live-changing value for majority of homeowners..
$21k additional income is a tangible value offer, which is relatively easy to sell and comprehend. Nevertheless, this value proposition became accessible to homeowners when AirBnB achieved traction, grew loyalty and confidence.
If you're excited about another social mobile location app, which re-adjusts my-social-graph-in-an-interesting-way sort of value idea, think critically about how much value will it really add to your users. Ask them. Be open.
Testing value ideas is it a bit harder because you have to have a working product or prototype in order to test. With value idea it's common that the real value only kicks in after certain user adoption thresholds are met, which makes it that much difficult.
Keep in mind that most of us are willing to do more to decrease pain than to increase pleasure. Not sure where I've heard this but it's certainly not my idea.
Let's finish with the addictive stuff.
That's Facebook.
Some might argue but I don't think it solves a painful problem or delivers so much value we couldn't do without. It has improved our lives, made the world "more open and connected" but as a business it's not yet great because it doesn't really fit well in one of the three categories. That's way Facebook is and will remain free.
Stickiness of the idea is very difficult to predict until your product or services becomes sticky. Imagine if you've brought the first version of Facebook prior to launch to a bunch of investors and promised it will grow like wildfire their response would have been predictable. Even when Facebook started growing like crazy only the brave and the visionary decided to chip in.
I know many people, especially from Silicon Valley will roast me for what I'm about to say but here it goes. If you have an idea left on your notepad, which neither solves a real pain nor adds real value I'd save it for a side project after you've failed a few times or done exits. This is specifically true when you're not launching from Silicon Valley or similar eco-system. Twitter started as a side you know.
To sum up, picking ideas is not as black and white as I've portrayed because decreasing pain and increasing value are two sides of the same coin. However, if you are a first-time entrepreneur or planning to bootstrap heavily focus on the pain ideas or pain relieve part of your idea.
It should give your first-venture a better chance to run the longest distance or fail fast – either way learn the most.

I'm also on Quora.com
Advisor @ Transfergo.com
It's been a while since I've blogged mainly because of an unexpectedly busy half a year. A lot of stuff has happened and I want to take a moment to reflect back on my experiences and off course take a look at what's coming up next.
Reality 2 – Me 1. Let me explain.
During last half a year three significant events have shaped the path of my entrepreneurial career. Two failures and one success.
Reality 2 – Me 1.
What I would like to do is reflect point by point on why I think things happened the way they did. I hope that all of you who will hopeful read this have something to take away. Lets start with Pinevio.
Pinevio.com is a startup, which got more PR and press coverage than users traction. J Here is why I think it failed.
That's why I'm super happy with experience I had with working on Pinevio along side my co-founder and wouldn't change it for the world. I think failing your first start-up this way is probably one of the better ways to go. Fail harder, right?
Now, the Switch. The idea has failed because we didn't manage to fund raise in time. Unlike the Pinevio failure, this wasn't as rewarding or worthy of time invested mainly because it failed for subjective reasons which are rather obscure and would take a long time to explain properly.
However, there is one thing I know for sure. Lithuania needs a quality events and start-up orientated co-working centre because it will be the backbone structure for startup activity in the country.
I sure hope someone executes something similar. Otherwise we'll definitely come back to this idea in the future.
OK. Finally – Startup Monthly Vilnius conference. That's the success and I barely look back on it anymore.
Success is difficult to learn from because it covers up the small set backs on the way, which are worthy of analysis.
I think the main reasons for the success were:
All an all, it was super awesome. I remember the feeling I felt on the last day of the conference was similar to the one, when we've raised capital for the first time. It's absolutely remarkable.
What's even more astounding is that after 3 months of super-hard work our team became better friends then we were before, which is a dream for any leader.
Huge thanks to Mindaugas, Julius, Jonas, Egle, Ugnius and the amazing volunteers who made it happen.
Reality 2 – Me 1
So… what's next?
I am coming back to startup mode. Hell yeah! Something I really love.
I'm now turning a new page in my career and look forward to meeting new people, startup teams and growing together.
So if you a getting together a great team or think that my skills would complement an existing one lets get together have some coffee and talk about it. I'm completely open.
It's been a wild beginning of a long journey. Can't wait for what's coming up next.
Thanks for a half-year to remember.
All the best,
Daumantas Dvilinskas

SAN ANTONIO -- Jessica Baxter worries for her 3rd grade son. He attends Huebner Elementary, where the incidents allegedly began in the lunch room.
Baxter said her son complained of inappropriate comments being made by another student. Later, the 9-year old said he was being told by the other student where he could and could not sit in the cafeteria.
But it was weeks later during a football game in P.E. that put mom's complaint over the top: when the very same boy kneed her son in the groin.
"It had gone from pushing, shoving, name-calling to real physical injury," said Baxter.
Baxter said doctors were concerned about the swelling, five-days after the incident.
"We went to his pediatrician who pulled me out of the room to tell me it's so severe, we may be talking about surgery, and you need to go have a sonogram to determine how serious that injury is."
Baxter says NEISD's student handbook talks of a zero tolerance for bullying, but she said the system appears to favor the bully.
She points out that it is up to the school's principal to initiate any investigation and determine whether an incident is horseplay or something more serious.
"I got an apology note from this child. But the very next day, he's doing the same thing," Baxter said.
NEISD spokesperson Aubrey Chancellor defended the elementary school's response, saying interviews with the students and teachers, and a review of school video showed the incidents in Baxter's case were handled appropriately.
Chancellor said bullying gets the same treatment as other campus infraction—once it is determined to be "bullying."
"Once it has been determined that it is a bullying situation, that students family receives a letter in the mail, letting them know of the investigation, what we found, and then from there if it continues there are punishments: in-school suspension, off-campus suspension, and alternative placements," said Chancellor.
NEISD isn't required to keep track of bullying events, but school officials said they do tabulate them. In the 2012-2013 school year, the district reported a total of 119 bullying incident. Fifty-one of them occurred in elementary schools.
This year, there have been 56 incidents reported throughout the district, with 24 of them taking place in elementary schools.
In the Baxter case, the two students were separated when the alleged victim was moved to another classroom.
But NEISD officials said it wasn't because of bullying, but because of comments perceived to be threats to the boy's safety.

SARPA's new strategy produces excellent results
SARPA has been very active this year with many different and exciting developments on all fronts. The new President Mr. William Olivier has committed the Association to a strategy of enhancing its image locally and abroad, taking a leading role in the country with regard to the combating of "copper theft", training of Utility and Law enforcement personnel across the spectrum of Revenue Protection and Utility metal thefts as well as assisting ailing municipalities through the SARPA Revenue Recovery Strategy.
The very challenging Revenue Recovery project became an instant winner when the test exercise at Drakenstein Municipality and a pilot exercise at Kouga Municipality both proved to be huge successes. During these projects the development of the SARPA Revenue Recovery Toolkit was completed and the aim is now to find partners to sponsors future projects. Discussions with DBSA have been ongoing in this regard. Another highlight is the fact that the Department of Water Affairs has joined forces with SARPA in this very important exercise. Several Municipalities have already indicated an interest to have such projects conducted in their areas of responsibility and SARPA is currently in the process of finalising the final roll out of the plan.
Copper theft on the other hand has once again become a huge issue in South Africa and SARPA has been identified as one of the main role players to assist in compiling a National Strategy. SARPA is currently involved in providing guidance and training on provincial and national level and also plays a leading role in initiatives like the Non Ferrous Crime Combating Forum (NFCCC) and the SACCI Copper Theft Forum. SARPA is also leading the drive to reestablish the forums in Limpopo and Freestate provinces, as the old ones have stopped functioning with the transfer of coordination process from the SAPS Organized Crime Division to Visible Policing.
All of the seven SARPA branches in the country are currently functioning very well. The Mapumulanga branch is once again active and a new branch is also planned in Namibia in March 2012. A big effort is currently underway to ensure that representatives from Municipal Water and Financial Directorates also attend the meetings. The yearly Convention in Polokwane was a huge success and it was noted that all the speakers presented solutions rather than pointing out problems.
The SARPA / NRS initiative to review several NRS standards and to develop a new guideline for the combating of Utility Metal thefts (NRS 101) has been completed in a very short period. This has resulted in SABS awarding the Technical Advisor Mr. Rens Bindeman with an award as a token of gratitude for the effort that went into achieving this goal.
All these efforts has seen SARPA representatives been invited to present workshops and papers at conferences in Central and Southern America, as well as in several other African countries.
Overall SARPA has experienced a very prosperous 2011 and we look forward to increasing the effort in 2012.

I purchased this watch as a birthday gift for my husband. He absolutely loves the watch. He wanted something a little bigger than his other watch (it's a 24mm Skagen) and this is perfect. Not too heavy or bulky but nice enough size to be noticed. The blue dial is a darker navy blue and looks really sharp when the light reflects off it. Overall we're very happy with the purchase.
bought the watch for my self as an every dayer just what i needed

You can do a lot with passive OS fingerprinting with p0f. It's recently
been upgraded to so the config file that comes with it now has a lot
more stuff in it. It's not quite complete but it can ID quite a bit.
You can also look through the database manually and see if you can match
things up when you have two or three OS' related to the same IP address
(which is what it looks like you have).
-----Original Message-----
From: Paul Johnston [mailto:paul () westpoint ltd uk]
Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 11:48 AM
To: pen-test () securityfocus com
Subject: SummaryL Some unusual network features
Thanks for everyone's responses to my questions. You've confirmed my
original theories, and given some interesting new ideas. I'd be
particularly interested in options for OS fingerprinting these devices.
Neither nmap nor xprobe could do this; as all that is exposed are some
open TCP ports. Could tools like p0f and ring help with this?
Summary of responses:
1) Ports that "hang open" i.e. you can connect, send data ok, but the
other end never sends any data and never closes the connection.
Could be:
a) TCP Discard service
b) Tarpit
c) Bespoke application that only responds to valid packets. I will try
to do some further investigation of this.
d) A firewall or some device with incorrect config and no device behind
I favor option (d), because of the presense of ports match that match
(3) discussed below.
There is no banner, and neither nmap -sV, amap nor find_service.nes
could identify the port.
This is not merely a filtered port; you definitily do get a SYN-ACK back
from it.
2) HTTP ports that function normally when you issue some methods, but on
other methods (including the imaginary method "SILLY") cause the
connection to "hang open" like in (1).
Almost everyone seems to agree that this is some kind of application
layer filter - be it a proxy, IPS, etc. I would favor the IPS theory,
because I'd expect a proxy to return an error like "504 Bad Gateway" or
something, not make the connection hang.
Note: it is unlikely this is a homegrown application as hmap identifies
it as IIS5, and I've found hmap very reliable for identifying IIS.
3) Ports where the TTL is different on the SYN reply to the rest of the
connection. ipid's also imply that different hosts are handling the SYN
and the rest of the connection.
This is most likely some kind of SYN proxy, or "TCP intercept" in Cisco
speak. Given this, I expect that (1) is where the router has SYN proxy
enabled, but the back-end device no longer exists.
Thanks again for your input,
Paul Johnston

10 "Must Know" Newborn Photography Tips!
Newborn photography can come with many surprises, especially if you aren't a parent. I've compiled a list of newborn photography tips that have helped me tremendously and I am sure will be helpful for anyone interested in learning more about newborn photography. Of course every photographer will have a different way or style of doing things but these are just some of the top things I've learned through the years as a newborn photographer. Update: due to the popularity of this post and by requests of viewers, we have created the ultimate, comprehensive online newborn photography workshop giving you all the tools & resources needed for a successful newborn photography business, it's on a special sale today – click here for more details.
1. Posed vs Lifestyle: Know Your Clients' Expectations
There are two types of newborn photography – posed/studio & lifestyle. I love both for different reasons. However, it is important to make sure your client knows what type you intend to do so there are no surprises during or after the session.
Posed/studio sessions – Typically must be done within the first 2 weeks of birth when the baby is very sleepy and "mold-able". The focus in this type of session is on shots of the baby looking perfect, usually in blankets, wraps, hats, & headbands. The session can last up to 4 hours with feeding, potty breaks, and posing. Editing this type of session also takes quite a bit of time as each image needs to go through Photoshop individually to get a polished end result.
Lifestyle newborn sessions – Are a bit more casual approach to newborn photography. There may be some posing but the intention is to capture more natural images of the baby and their home. These sessions can be done up to 6 weeks old and usually last 1-2 hours max. My favorite thing about lifestyle newborn photography is capturing the wonder and amazement between the family members. Newborns are incredible but so is the love in the air. Memories of this time-frame often become fuzzy for new parents and that is precisely why I feel these types of shoots are so important.
Personally, I value both types of styles so I approach it as a posed session, but use the breaks in between poses to get my lifestyle shots. The breaks do not have to be wasted time for you. Have the feeding take place in the best light and you have yourself a great opportunity for some lifestyle shots.
2. Be Prepared
If you are doing the session in the client's home, posed newborn sessions require nearly the same amount of prep as a wedding. You need quite a bit of "stuff" and it is easy to forget something so I make sure to pack the night before and use a checklist so I don't forget anything (I'm a mom with a very limited memory). To make your life a bit easier, I've made a print ready checklist you can use which is included in the newborn photography toolkit – one of the FREE limited time bonuses included in our online Newborn Photography Workshop.
My prep includes packing the following:
- Camera and backup camera
- Formatted memory cards
- Lenses
- a few loud and funny kid toys (if there is a toddler that will be joining the session)
- Newborn posing beanbag
- Backdrop stand and clamps
- Space heater
- Step stool
- a Boppy pillow (for posing)
- Waterproof pads (to catch messes)
- a change of clothes for me (in case of a mess)
- Props (baskets, crates etc…)
- Big blankets for backgrounds
- Small swaddle blankets
- Hats/headbands
- Loud enough music to hide the startling sound of my shutter (usually just my phone and small speakers – some photographers prefer white noise).
Since the sessions can be up to 4 hours I make sure to eat a lot before I go. Also, because it will be very warm with the space heater blaring, I make sure to wear cool & comfortable clothing. Some photographers bring a soft mat for kneeling comfort but I've found using one of your blankets work just as well.
3. Prepare Your Client
The #1 way to ensure a successful newborn session is to make sure your client knows what to expect and how to best prepare for the session. I send my prep tips a few days before our session to get mommy and daddy prepared. In fact, in our newborn workshop includes the email templates that I send & has a full chapter dedicated to adequate preparation before the session. Many moms choose to feed while I unpack and setup. I have them feed the baby in only a diaper and a loose swaddle blanket so we don't have to bother the baby with undressing them. I also let them know what I'll be bringing, the approximate length of the session, to expect messes and frequent feedings, and to warm the house, even though I will be bringing a heater.
4. Let the Baby Inspire You
Inspiration is everywhere – probably even in the form of Pinterest emails from your client. It is a great idea to have some poses in mind before you arrive at the session. However, like letting the love story of a wedding day unfold organically, I believe the best images are unplanned and inspired by the uniqueness of each baby. Whether it is cute dimples, big beautiful eyes, full lips, or a great head of hair, try to highlight the beauty of the baby.
Be in the moment…
Let the baby move, yawn, and stretch. Babies have wonderful, perfect, sweet movements, do not stress over having the perfect pose in every frame.

When you are posing, though, my top tip is to open up their fists. Sometimes it's a bit of a struggle, but relaxed hands will add a much more peaceful feel to the image.
5. Be Mindful of Your Aperture
I know many portrait & wedding photographers love to shoot wide open at f/1.2 & f/1.4. However, with newborn photography many of the baby poses can have extreme angles and you often will have better luck with your depth of field and sharpness by shooting around f/2 & f/2.2. Remember, it will be rare that the baby's eyes are on the same plane of focus all the time and by closing down my aperture a bit from wide open I get that little bit extra of depth of field that is often needed.
6. Baby Sleepy Time = Macro Lens Time!
Aside from posed and a few lifestyle shots, the other big "to do" in my mental shot list is macro work. I love to capture close ups of the baby's toes, little bits of hair on their shoulder, pouty lips, & ears, etc…
These close-up "detail" shots are not only adorable but they are great accompanying images for albums and accordion books. Because of the sensitive focus on a macro lens, the best time to get these images is when the baby is very still (in their deepest sleep). As shown with the newborn workshop where you get to shadow me on an actual on-location shoot, when I notice the baby is deep in dreamland, I'll just stop whatever I'm doing and I'll pull out my macro for 10 minutes and get all the shots that I need.
7. Encourage Mom to Get in Front of the Camera….Gently
After I had my babies the last thing that I wanted to do was have my picture taken and put much effort into making myself camera ready. I know firsthand how hard it is for a mom to get in front of that camera. But I also know how important it is.
Mothers work the hardest and they also love the hardest.
They love that baby so much that they will spend their days and nights, taking photos of the baby asleep, awake, yawning, having a bath, eating, cuddling with siblings, & cuddling with dad. There will be so many images by the time the baby turns one and the sad reality is that mommy will hardly be in any of them.
Get her in that image. She will treasure it and so will the baby years from now. The important thing is to keep mommy/baby poses easy and without much effort needed on behalf of the mother. Chances are, she's still uncomfortable and in pain and possibly even recovering from a surgery so being gentle is crucial.
8. Props – Your Best Friend and Worst Enemy
One of my biggest mistakes when I was starting out was that I brought all my props/wraps/blankets/headbands to every single session. When I got set up, I would have a mini panic attack because I had no idea where I should start. Now I plan 3-4 different setups (based on the client's preferences and expectations) and that's all. I am often inspired by something the client owns as well, such as a blanket knitted by Grandma or something else that's special to mom and dad, so it is not uncommon for me to not even use everything I bring.
9. Siblings Are a Whole New Ballgame
If the baby has older siblings, I try to make the sibling shots my very first priority and then let them go play while we finish the session. Toddlers simply don't have the attention span to sit quietly and wait for you to call on them for their picture so get their poses done first while they are curious and excited about your visit. By the time the session is over, they are usually open to participating again and that is when I try to get some lifestyle sibling shots. If they don't want to participate, I've found promises of ice cream & candy have magical powers! (as long as that's ok with Mom & Dad).
10. Be Flexible, Safe, and Don't Give Up
One thing I learned when I became a parent, was that the baby is the boss regardless of how much control I pretend I have. The same is true for newborn photography. If the baby doesn't want to go to sleep for posing after you've tried everything, take some lifestyle shots & keep shooting. Swaddle tight and try to get some eye contact. Get images of mommy rocking the baby, be open and flexible – the session doesn't always go as planned and that might just be the best thing that happens to you.
The best shots often come from open minds and surprising moments…
Aside from being flexible, be safe. The most important thing on this list is to research newborn photography safety before you start. Many traditional poses are actually composites with spotters and safeguards in place so the baby is out of harms way. Lastly, don't give up. I remember the first time I went snowboarding, when I got back, before I could open my mouth, my friend said I need to do it 5 more times before I decide to give up, that the learning curve is steep and that it gets easier. The same is true for newborn photography. My first session left me feeling very defeated, but I'm glad I got back up and did it again (and again and again)…and hopefully this list removes some of your growing pains.

Thank you so much for this post! I too am trying to "learn" newborn photography, just did a shoot of my friend's 10 month old daughter (they turned out beautiful!), but the little one month boy was another story! I am shooting another one month old little girl tomorrow, hopefully I will learn from my mistakes I made today! I am doing the pictures for free to learn, but this is so hard! I wish I knew what I was doing wrong, or do I just need to practice? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Oh, I was raised in San Diego, my whole family is there, will be visiting for Christmas this year. Will be there for 2 weeks to pack up my mom and move her! Maybe I can get in on a photo session??? Hopefully I will have it figured out by then!

Hi Denise! I hope your session went well. I find that trying to do traditional posed newborn is really hard past 10 days most the time. I have had one (and one only) over 4 weeks that let me pose them. Definitely try to get in there very soon after the baby is born. You learn more at every session so just keep at it! You will be great.

Hi there,
My name is Sherry Garcia and I am a beginner in the world of photography. I was just wondering about how you felt about some of the online editing sites such as PicMonkey.com, BeFunky.com and Fotor.com
Being as I am just started out I figured it might be a good idea to get my feet wet in those editing programs before I take the big leap into Photoshop and pay it's ungodly price!! (lol) anyhow, if you can think of a better site where I might get a little more practice editing pictures please let me know. And please let me know your honest opinion of the aforementioned websites.
Happy Shooting,

Thank you so much for this article! This past weekend I did my 3rd newborn session which happened to be my grandson. It took 4 hours and I had such difficulty getting him into the poses that I had planned in my head, that when the session was over with I felt totally defeated. I experienced everything you mentioned, including overwhelming myself with too many props. I started doubting myself and wondering if I was even cut out to be a newborn photographer. Your article was very helpful and encouraging at the same time. Thank you so much!

Hi there fellow San Diegan and fellow Charger fan ;-), I don't think there's anything I can say that hasn't been said already. Wonderful tips and insight especially for newbies like myself. I can't even call myself a photographer considering I'm still getting to learn my camera. But I will say that after reading your post, it definitely seems more doable and less scary. Not saying that it will be easy. I'm hoping to get together with a photographer and go on a "ride along" so to speak and maybe get some hands on experience before I venture out on my own. I literally came across your post about an hour ago and I'm looking forward to reading and learning more!

I would have no problem doing the cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the family. I wouldn't see it as being confined to a box or a certain role. Likewise, if a man wanted to take care of the yard work and fix the car, I would be grateful! However, I would hope that once in awhile, if I've had a bad day or am really tired or busy he would be able to step in and offer to help. I would hope to do the same for him. I have no problem mowing the lawn or shoveling the driveway. Resentment would build if I felt I was doing all of the work or the work I did was not appreciated. I think the chore list would best be made if it was divided according to each person's interests and abilities.
As for interests and hobbies, I think having some shared interests is a great place to start. I think it's important for spouses/significant others to spend time together doing things that both enjoy. If each only does the things that interest them and there is nothing in common it would be difficult to maintain a relationship. It would be like operating within two separate circles, rarely meeting. However, each person does not have to be a carbon copy of the other. Each should have their own interests and hobbies, as long as they make spending time together a greater priority than the separate interests they pursue. I also think, for the sake of the other, that once in awhile each should participate in things their spouse or significant other enjoys, even if it's not a mutual interest. It's good for the relationship to take an interest in one another, even if they don't share the interest in the particular activity or hobby that is in question.
Sherry, Thanks for posting! I agree that men and women should carefully divide the chore list. That show cooperation and support. I agreet hathey should find ways to spend time together doing what they enjoy together and maybe learning something new from each other as well if they can.

Act Now to Save India\'s Tigers

By destroying the tigers\' habitat, you are also destroying the environment that local people depend on for food and water. The tiger is a symbol of the overall health of India, its environment and its people. It

Just installed my iGrip car mount
Two days ago, I bought an iGrip car mount, the headrest one, at Shop CrackBerry (was at 50% off on the US website... regular price on the canadian version... and I'm in Canada). Was shipped and arrived within 24 hours, the fastest business I've done on the internet so far, thumbs up for shop crackberry on the fast processing.
Tonight, just got it installed on my dash (I didn't mean to install it on the headrest, but if I ever need to, it was meant for a headrest install). It's great as my passenger can control the music, watch a movie, surf the internet....... and the light of the screen doesn't distract me as it's on the right side. Here's the picture.

I got one for my Torch it works great, does this allow any map/nav googlemaps etc to work on the PB whilst driving.
the reason I ask is that I do a bit of off road driving and Geocaching and normal satnavs are lacking when off the beaten track.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com
I have not been able to use googlemaps and others have problems, too. You open the website and then it stalls with a "Loading" prompt. You cannot pan or pinch/zoom the maps. Had the same problem with mapquest. And currently, there are no apps that support spoken gps directions.

Hope you never have a passenger in there if the airbags deploy
- 11-12-2011, 10:03 AM Thread Author #7
@jenkitp : Thank you for the tip, it's something that can be dangerous. This might be a problem if the PlayBook is in portrait mode, as it will be higher than the top of the dash, where the airbag is. In landscape mode, it is aligned with the storage space available, so it shouldn't be a matter.
@roman-soldier : Unfortunately, no. And even if Google Maps could work (let's say by Feb. 12 with the Android app player), it's kind of a deal breaker that it doesn't have offline maps. I'm looking forward to the day where I'm leaving my TomTom at home and using only one device, but I don't see this day coming soon... they've been saying "soon" to the Android version of a TomTom app for almost two years, so I don't see a native BlackBerry version anytime soon. Hopefully, a competitor will offer us an alternative.
@jamesharmeling : If you plan to mount it on the front of your car, you might consider buying the windshield mount. I bought the headrest one before I knew I could fit the mount where I wanted it to be, but it might be difficult to mount the headrest mount anywhere else than the headrest or a tight space (so it gets stuck as I did, tightening the screws to keep it steady).

One other question - Is it possible to charge the Playbook off the cigarette lighter like your phone? I have a "cigarette lighter to usb" adapter for my phone charger, wondering if that might charge the Playbook too.

@tommynap01 : As installed in my car, the mount doesn't come outward or toward us, it can only switch from portrait to landscape mode. Even if it was originally meant to move, I had to use the moving part to install it safely, to get the mount to stuck in there, without any screws or glue.
@TerribleTim68 : I'll get the pictures tomorrow, I just came home today. As I have a Jeep Patriot, mounting it on the windshield was pretty useless (the windshield is as far as it needs to be...) and would be obtrusive. About the charging, I don't have a cigarette lighter charger so I didn't try and don't know if there's enough juice coming out of it. And my Jeep has an AC outlet, so I always use my regular chargers when I need to, so it isn't a problem for me.

very nice!!!! i have similar in my vehicle... used a ram mount for mine, only downside was a ball needed to be screwed to the dash, but if you can find a good area to mount it its a real solid mount with the ability to adjust the angle, height etc. gps central here in calgary had all the required parts. i had origninally purchased the igrip mount as well, but i didnt like how difficult it was to remove from the case. so i modified it as well to accept the "ball" from the ram mount accesories so i can still use the head rest mount for the kids

- Misc - 4 Screws, 4 Nuts, 8 Washers & "custom" metal plate (for inner area of "OtterBox Base"). - USD$10.00
I'm aware that all the components end costing more than a "Retail Unit". The fact is, I just really felt like "building" the thing.
I took it for a road test. I'm very happy. This thing is Solid.
I intend to make adjustments to the backlight so it goes out quickly.
I also plan on making a hood for better viewing in daytime.

This is what has me to believe that turn by turn BB Maps is coming to the Playbook in the OS2 update.
1) QNX has been in the automotive industry for many, many years so it only makes sense
2) BB Traffic now has turn by turn directions (and it works great too might i add) so we know RIM has the tech to do it
3) In the Beta survey RIM did on their website, they were discussing features users wanted to come to the Playbook and BB Maps, both online and offline were on the survey
i will purchase one of these mounts as soon as i get some mapping software that has a offline mapping option. Using the Playbook as a full blown navigation tool would be absolutely ridiculous. Killing two birds with one stone lolQNX and LTE, hand me a pen and let's do this.
