Overview Reviews Details Accessories by Ralph Graves Panasonic's KX-TG6513B phone comes with three handsets, and you can add up to three more for a total of six. The base station adjusts its power consumption when handsets are close to it to avoid wasting costly energy. Put unwanted callers on the phone's Call Block list, and when they call they'll simply get a busy signal. If you want to turn off the ringer when you go to sleep, just switch the handset to "Silent Mode" and you won't hear a sound. But don't worry about missing an important call if you forget to turn the ringer back on — the handset's light-up indicator will still alert you when a call comes in. DECT cordless technology The KX-TG6513B uses DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) 6.0 technology for clear conversations with reduced noise and excellent cordless range. It operates in the 1.9 GHz frequency bandwidth, so it won't cause problems with Wi-Fi® computer networks or other common wireless devices.

I especially love the call blocking feature and being able to purchase 3 handsets without having to purchase the digital messaging feature! 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Easy to use & fantastic range Written By Anij, Boston, MA on Monday, February 21, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Panasonic KX-TG6513B is a great phone system, and it saved me hundreds of dollars. I have a separate phone line that runs from the modem in my basement to the third floor, where my mother lives. That line stopped working. Comcast said that the problem was with the internal wiring, and that I would have to hire an electrician to find the problem. Obviously, I would like to avoid that extremely expensive option. I took the phone that I had up there (V-tech 6141), and hooked up the base unit directly to the modem in the basement, and put two handsets on the 3rd floor. That didn't work. The phones received the signal, but would lose power after only a few minutes & you could not use speaker. I thought I'd have to call the electrician, but wanted to give it one more try so bought the Panasonic KX-TG6513B. THESE PHONES WORK BETTER THAN I EVER DREAMED THEY WOULD! The base unit is plugged directly into the modem in the basement, and I have three handsets upstairs. The reception is flawless - voices are very clear and easy to understand (even on speaker). I was on hold for over 40 minutes with Barnes & Noble, and there was no problem. In addition, the features like Phone-Book, CID and Voice-Mail are so easy to access that my mom, who is in her 70's and is not a techie, has no trouble doing so. I absolutely would recommend this phone to everybody! I am happy to say that it lives up to all it's claims! I only wish I could give it 10 stars! Thank you! 14 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Just what I was looking for!

The error correction frequency is increased up to 80x, which increases the range and improves the transmission quality. Operating in the 1.9 GHz frequency range, the KX-TG6513 phone will not conflict with other wireless devices such as computer routers, wireless keyboards, microwave ovens and other common household devices. Expandable Cordless System: In addition to the three included cordless handsets, you can add up to three more KX-TGA651 (133TGA651) handsets, for a total of six. Intelligent Eco Mode: The phone's Intelligent Eco mode automatically reduces handset power consumption when you're using the handset close to the base unit. This feature extends the available talk time by suppressing the power it takes to transmit to the base unit. The "ECO" icon appears in the handset display when activated. Handset Speakerphone: The cordless handset can double as a speakerphone for hands-free conversations. The handset is squared on the bottom, allowing you to stand it up on a table top while you talk hands-free. Non-Slip Handset: The KX-TGA652 handset has a rubberized surface on the back panel to help prevent slipping, especially when you cradle it on your shoulder. Headset Compatible: The handset has a 2.5mm sub-mini headset jack to allow you to plug in a headset for hands-free operation. Compatible headsets include: KX-TCA400, KX-TCA60, KX-TCA93, KX-TCA94, and KX-TCA430. 1.8" Backlit LCD: The cordless handset features a backlit 1.8" LCD screen which displays Caller ID information, battery strength, Caller List, Directory, plus the Function Menu table. You can adjust the contrast of the LCD from 1-6. Navigator Keys: The four directional navigator keys on the handset are used to navigate through menus and to select items shown on the display by pushing it up, down, left, or right. Soft Keys: The handset has three soft keys which allow you to select the feature shown directly above it on the display. Some of the soft key functions include Mute, Phonebook, Menu, and Redial. Caller ID: This unit is compatible with Caller ID services offered by your telephone company. If you subscribe to Caller ID, the caller's name and phone number will be displayed and recorded in the handset's Caller List. Call Waiting Caller ID: If you subscribe to Call Waiting with Caller ID, when talking on the phone as another call comes in, the second caller's name and phone number will be displayed. Ringer/Message Indicators: The handset has a ringer indicator LED on the top that will flash quickly whenever a call comes in. Caller List: The unit records information for the last 50 callers and stores this information in the Caller List. The unit can show the number of calls you missed. You can call back any number in the caller list. Once a number is in the Caller List, it can be manually or automatically edited (to add or remove area codes or prefixes), saved in the Directory, or deleted. Call Block: The phone can be programmed to reject unwanted calls. If you subscribe to Caller ID, the unit will reject a call that comes in without a phone number, including those that are labeled "Out of area", "Private caller", or "Long distance". Calls from a phone number stored in the call block list are also rejected. Up to 30 phone numbers can be stored in the call block list. When the call is received, the unit rings for a short time while the caller is being identified. If the phone number matches an entry in the call block list, the unit sends out a busy tone to the caller, then disconnects the call. Shared Phonebook: All handsets registered to the base unit can use the unit's phonebook. Up to 50 names and phone numbers can be stored in the phonebook. You can enter names up to 16 characters, and phone numbers up to 24 digits. A pause can be entered in the phone number if required for dialing. Each pause is stored as one digit and the pause is approximately 3.5 seconds. The directory names are sorted alphabetically. You can also assign names to one of nine groups to help you locate entries quickly and easily. Groups can also be assigned a different ringer tone to help you identify who is calling. Chain Dial: You can dial a number from the phone while on a call using Chain Dial. This can be used to dial a calling card access number, dial a PIN number, etc. without having to dial it manually. Redial List: You can review a list of the last five numbers dialed, then call any of those numbers. Mute: This system features a Mute key on the cordless handset. If you wish to temporarily mute the conversation, you can mute the handset so the other party cannot hear you, but you can still hear them. Handset Locator: This feature allows you to locate a handset by paging it from the base unit. All registered handsets are paged simultaneously. Silent Mode: You can program each handset to ring or not at your discretion. If you set a handset to Silent Mode, it will not ring when calls come in. A specific time period can be programmed ahead of time for the silent mode. Other handsets programmed to the phone are not affected, and will continue to ring when calls are received. Intercom: This feature lets you set-up a 2-way conversation between two registered handsets. Call Transfer: Calls can be transferred from one handset to any other registered handset. Privacy Mode: You can prevent users of other handsets from joining your conversations by engaging the Privacy Mode in the Initial Setting menu. To allow other users to join your conversation (call share), you can turn the Privacy Mode off. Call Share: Call Share allows a second registered cordless handset to join an existing external call by pressing one button. Any Key Talk/Auto Talk: The Any Key Talk feature allows you to press any of the numeric keys, the * key, the # key, or the intercom button to answer a call. When the handset is on the charger base, the Auto Talk feature allows you to answer a call by simply picking up the handset. Auto Talk can be turned on/off in the menu. Volume Controls: You have the ability to adjust volume levels for the handset and the handset speakerphone. Choose from four levels when holding the handset to your ear, and six levels for the speakerphone. Ringer Options: You can select one of six ringer volume settings or Off. You can also choose between five ring tones and five ring melodies. Temporary Tone Dialing: If you are using a pulse dialing system, you can temporarily switch to tone dialing to enter numbers for answering services, electronic banking services, company phone directories, etc. When you hang up, the mode switches back to pulse dialing. Flash Key: If you have the Call Waiting service, you can use the flash key to put the first call on hold, allowing you to answer a second incoming call. You can adjust the length of the flash time if necessary. Alarm: On the handset, you can set an alarm to sound for three minutes on a one-time or daily basis. With the date and time programmed into the phone, you can enter a desired time for the alarm to sound. Using a different ringer tone from the one used for outside calls is recommended. Belt Clip: The included belt clip can be attached to the back of the cordless handset so that you can hook it onto your belt. Security: A handset cannot operate unless it is registered with the base unit. Voice Mail Services: The KX-TG6513 will integrate with your telephone company's voice mail service to make it easier to retrieve your messages. When you receive a new Voice Mail message, the telephone company sends special tones to alert you that a new message is available. The KX-TG6513 detects these tones, causing the message indicator on the handset to flash slowly, and by displaying "New Voice Mail" in the LCD. You can program your Voice Mail access number (along with your password and any necessary pauses) so you can dial it automatically to retrieve your messages. Battery Information: The phone comes with six "AAA" rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries, two for each handset. A Ni-MH battery doesn't develop the "memory" effect like many Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) rechargeable batteries. Initial Charge Time: 7 hours Battery Talk Time: up to 13 hours continuous Battery Standby Time: up to 11 days Wall Mounting: The base unit and battery charger for the additional handsets can be placed on a desk or table, or can be wall mounted. The base unit has an integrated bracket that can be turned one way for wall mounting and turned the other way for placing on a desk. The battery charger has two keyhole slots for wall mounting.

Protest for Sandusky dog shooting
I find it sickening when children are dragged into court to see their parents before a judge. What is the point of that? Is it in the best interests of the child, this had nothing to do with her child.
I hope they all watched carefully where they stepped.
Watching the video, the dog had varying stances showing happiness at first then fear, didn't look vicious or intimidating at all when shot. The officer rounded the corner gun drawn with intent, didn't draw his taser either! These kind of decisions get your kids killed in routine traffic stops!
Correct me if im wrong, but this was a dog that was running around trying to bite people correct?? A protest???? What???? THIS is what is wrong with that city! Instead of taking responsiblity for their own actions, its easier to blame someone else.....what a joke...hard to believe CNN didnt show up....LOL!!!

I write this column from the front seats of a yellow school bus.
We're on our way back from our first baseball game of the season. I can hear some of our players behind me talking about getting our first victory. Others are playing games on their cell phones, talking to girls or sending tweets.
It's my second year of coaching baseball at Creston High School.
My junior varsity team won 12-0 last night and the varsity came away with a 16-2 victory over the Corning Red Raiders. (Read more about the games on page 7A in today's CNA).
I'm looking forward to this season. We feel like we are a program on the rise. We have a group of varsity players who have been around CHS head baseball coach Steve Birchard and know what is expected of them on and off the baseball field.
The thing I noticed almost automatically this season is we are a year stronger. Most of our student-athletes dedicated themselves to the weight room and it shows on the baseball field in the form of velocity on their throws and power at plate.
Also, I'm impressed with our younger players. Our future is bright. We have a lot of work to do still, but this eighth-grade class — you can tell — has spent several summers on the baseball diamond. Seven of them (eight-graders) started the JV game for me last night.
There is something that draws me to the game of baseball.
The game of baseball is about the ups and downs, about coming back from losses, staying humble through success, throwing a tight curve ball, finding shade, about which flavor of sunflower seed to purchase.
Baseball is about being a good teammate, keeping your composure, getting down the line, working the count, taking lots and lots of batting practice, about enjoying down time, long bus rides home, field work. It's about the traditions.
That's why I fell in love with the game. That's why, 20-plus years later I still love the game today.
If you get the chance, come out and enjoy some baseball at our field this summer. We will be playing all home games at our diamond at Creston High School. Your first chance is this Thursday when we have our home opener against Nodaway Valley. Junior varsity starts at 5:30 p.m. and varsity will start around 7:15 p.m.

Gardeners take for granted their ability to plant, rake, weed and deadhead. However, when sudden medical problems rob them of the ability to stand, their world turns upside down.
That's what happened to my 59-year-old cousin Russ Wolters of Mundelein, Illinois. Gout, infection and a broken hip put him in a wheel chair for the last six months, as doctors treat his problems in preparation for a hip implant.
This sudden and colossal change wasn't going to stop him from gardening. He's spent his life growing peaches, apples, cherries, grapes, a wide assortment of vegetables and flowers. Gardening is a large part of who Russ is. He gathered containers, gallon milk jugs and hanging baskets to plant a vegetable and flower garden on his deck.
Russ started small with a few pots and hanging baskets. Soon his entire deck was a jungle of plant serenity.
He can wheel himself out to the deck through the kitchen door to water and tend his plants. The living walls of green give him serenity and positive energy. No wonder he spends most of the day and evening on the deck among his plants, relaxing with music, reading the newspaper and just soaking in the positive, green energy.
The most difficult part of wheelchair gardening, Russ says, is hauling all those milk jugs filled with water through the kitchen to the deck garden. Container plants, even ones in big pots, drink gallons of water in the summer heat. He's doing a good job, though, as his plants are large, lush and produce plenty of tomatoes, cucumbers, squash and more. He even has a Money (Lunaria) plant blooming, petunias and geraniums.
Notice all the plastic milk jugs? Russ fills them with water in the kitchen and wheels them out to the deck to water. It takes a couple of hours daily.
History of Healing Gardens
What my cousin Russ created is an excellent example of healing gardens, which have been around for centuries. The Greeks incorporated them into green spaces. Medieval monks grew healing plants in cloistered gardens where their patients flourished just as the plants did.
In the last 30 years, the healthcare industry has begun to integrate healing gardens into their facilities and use them as therapy for patients. They range from AIDS patients to burn victims, recovering addicts, dementia patients, children with cancer and those with life-altering medical problems, permanent or temporary.
Russ Wolters relaxing in his healing garden after picking ripe tomatoes.
Healing gardens are therapeutic sanctuaries that soothe the mind and body and comfort the soul. That's what my cousin created on his deck, a place of comfort, therapy and delicious tomatoes!

Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the surname, in origin a local name from any of the various places (in the West Midlands, Derbyshire, Hampshire, and Surrey) named in Old English from scīr 'county, shire' or scīr 'bright' + lēah 'wood, clearing'. It was given by Charlotte Brontë to the heroine of her novel Shirley (1849). According to the novel, her parents had selected the name in prospect of a male child and used it regardless. Shirley had earlier been used as a boy's name (Charlotte Brontë refers to it as a 'masculine cognomen'), but this literary influence fixed it firmly as a girl's name. It was strongly reinforced during the 1930s and 40s by the popularity of the child film star Shirley Temple (b. 1928).

Over 8 percent (2.96 million acres) of Iowa is covered by trees and forests. Our forests have significant impacts on our agricultural-based economy, protection of our drinking water supply, critical for wildlife habitat and overall enjoyment of the place that we call Iowa. Wood industries employ over 7,000 Iowans, producing lumber and high quality wood products. Trees in our small and large communities, our "urban forests," increase property values and conserve cooling and heating energy. Our forests are vital to our state's future.
Because our forest resources are valuable to the citizens of Iowa, the Bureau of Forestry began monitoring forest and tree health conditions in the late 1970's. This monitoring effort today is used to determine overall forest and tree health conditions, the status of natural and exotic insect, disease, and invasive species problems, and to provide up-to-date information for private and public managers to aid in the sustained management of Iowa's forest resources.
Cooperative monitoring efforts with Iowa State University, Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS), USDA Forest Service (USFS), USDA Plant Protection Quarantine (PPQ), municipal foresters, and private land owners encourages efficient monitoring efforts. In addition, cooperation fosters improved communications to professionals and others on Iowa's forest resource management issues.

What picture or scene can represent "Positive Thinking"?
Our TEDxKhartoum 2012 theme is "Positive Thinking" based on previous Youth speaker talk that went viral compared to other talks from the same conference.
We're trying to visualize "Positive Thinking"... so, What picture or scene can represent "Positive Thinking"?
Astra Singh
Feb 19 2012: Dear Anwar,
- +6
Some suggestions:
-Someone leaping a gap;
-The sun behind the clouds;
-An ant, packed with climbing gear, at the foot of a mountain;
-A butterfly wriggling out of a cocoon to fly off;
-A sitting baby who, with encouragement, manages to stand up.
I hope these may be of help to you.
Kind regards,
Feb 19 2012: Dear Astra,
Thanks a lot for donating these suggestions^^
I loved the first one most "Someone leaping a gap"...
TEDsters are gaps fillers :)
This talk is dedicated to you and every positive thinker here :)
Michelle Obama's plea for education
"close the gap between the world as it is and the world as it should be."
Astra Singh
Feb 20 2012: Hi Anwar,
- +1
Thank you for bringing Mrs. Obama's TED Talk to my attention. I had already downloaded it some time ago but hadn't come around to watching it yet.
Two more suggestions:
1. (animation) A scenery of a desert (or cracked mud area) and a sprout pushing its way through and ending up a beautiful flower.
2. Young adult's face (in full view) going from a worried look (looking down to the right) slowly to a full bright smile ending face forward (in a smooth movement).
I hope this makes sense :).
Much success with the TEDx event.
Rohit Garg
Feb 21 2012: Great Ideas Astra!
- +4
To add to your list, I have a few...
1. A Flowing River - denotes continuity and never saying No Attitude, which reflects positivity!
2. A stem of Roses with some thorns around... the roses again demonstrate positivity inspite of obstacles!
Hope these make some sense :)Feb 18 2012: Dear Anwar,
a group of children trying to explore something together, maybe at school around a table, a teacher, a project, etc. They don't think about failure. They just want to know, to learn.
Feb 19 2012: "They just want to know, to learn"...wonderful input dear Katja ;)
Rohit Garg
Feb 21 2012: Hi

I remember reading a quote, when I was in school, and this quote always brings in me, a new positive energy and zeal to get up and perform even better than always. Hope this would act like a catalyst for your TED talk as well.
"For a sane individual, every morning is the start of a new day and a newer life!"
Feb 21 2012: AWWW Yes Rohit....Every day is the first day of the rest of my life:>)
Positive image? A baby smiling:>)
A baby is open, honest, trusting, vulnerable, and unconditionally loving, which I believe are qualities that enhance positive thinking:>)
Rohit Garg
Feb 21 2012: So true Colleen.
- +3
A smiling baby, infact all smiling and giggling children / babies bring with them a lot of positivity around, they make all around themselves smiling and happiness is all across the place!
And, I guess, the reason behind that is, the smile of the baby is pure and absolute innocent with not even a single drop of sarcasm and selfishness in it!
Feb 21 2012: So true Rohit....in fact...let's expand it to all smiling PEOPLE!!!
When we connect with the child in ourselves, it often helps us connect with more positive thinking:>) It is actually scientifically proven that smiling causes a change in the chemical make up of the body to facilitate a more positive attitude:>)Feb 29 2012: a positive scene
A baby on tippy toes JUST slips away from her grandparents hands. The hands that had her by the wrist JUST before to balance her upright now grab air as she rushes head long into her first steps and toward something wonderful that only she sees. Her eyes are bright and wide. The enchantment of her of laughter smothers all fear with delight. Her arms are still stretched up….JUST in case….but she makes it all the way into another set of waiting arms and we knew she would do it!
Thanks Anwar, Rohit and Colleen for starting me out on this journey. It almost feels like a memory.Feb 29 2012: It is a very beautiful memory Sharon. One which we can pass on, and continue to encourage:>)Mar 9 2012: A smiley face:-).Feb 29 2012: Here's one:
I have a cartoon of a puny ice cube, standing on paper clip legs and with paper clip arms.
In its right hand it is holding a dumb bell and it is halfway through a biceps curl (to develop its bicep muscle)
On the floor to its right is a barbell made from a wooden match stick and the weights (2 on each end) are different colored life-saver candies.
The ice cube is looking at a poster on the wall in front of it, for inspiration as it works out. It is a poster of the Titanic, half-sunk and sinking, with life boats in the foreground and people in the water.
The name of the cartoon is,"if you can dream it, you can do it!"

Feb 26 2012: A few suggestions:
- +2
- a beautiful piece of art created from garbage.
- first picture: a piece of mud. Second picture a beautiful sculptor.
- a dark dusty ugly slum and in the middle of it, a house painted with bright colors. Then the colors could spread.
- people in the rain... A man In Grey holding an umbrella. A kid in bright colors singing and splashing and dancing.
- a bunch of people holding a pencil in between their teeth.
Stuart Woods
Feb 22 2012: How often have we seen a small note or E mail finished with a smiley face? E mails and mobile phones now even provide digital versions for us. Why? well I believe it is because not only do we have a natural affinity to all things which represent us (especially our faces) but we can elicit positivity by simply showing a (very) basic drawing of a smile on a human face, you don't even need to draw the nose!; simple but ingenious; at once it promotes and assumes compliance and/or positive thinking in a non -threatening way. I read a statistic which said something like 'you are 70% more likely to carry out a request if the note or E mail has a smiley face in it'. Positivity created by a 'nudge'. Fascinating. : )

Beste Arslan
Feb 22 2012: Lovely question :) Here are some random ideas i could think of:
- +2
-A kid finger painting
-Opening a door with a key
-A picture taken that looks as if someone is holding the sunFeb 20 2012: As I read your question I instantly thought of a photo I saw years ago. The motive of a woman sitting cross-legged, back against the photographer, meditating whilst her front is facing a beautiful setting with crystal clear water, blue skies and the characteristic rocks often associated with beautiful white beaches.
I think that resembles positive thinking quite well.
Elizabeth Gu
Feb 20 2012: Love this question.
- +2
At first, I wanted to add some meaningful story that is profound enough to represent "positive thinking", but on second thought, I think as long as we try to find values of our every moment of our lives, we can visualize "positive thinking" from every funny and delightful moment even if it's really trivial--except for vulgar or inappropriate things.
When somebody cracks some practical jokes, which sound quite funny, when your little siblings or kids giggle because of your ridiculous outfits, when you listen to your favorite songs, when you find some money on the road--if it were a wallet, you would need to ponder about what would be the right thing to do, btw lol, when some friendly TEDster replied to your comment and said "I agree with you.", and when you can smile regardless of the difficult circumstances and try to overcome the obstacles, etc.
Rohit Garg
Feb 21 2012: Hey Elizabeth, what I understand from your examples, and what I also believe is "Smiles" bring with them a lot of positivity with them.. actually smiles bring with them, a lot of energy and happiness, which in turn gives us hope for some positive to happen! :)

Feb 21 2012: "...which in turn gives us hope for some positive to happen! :) "

Feb 19 2012: I am reminded of a quote by James Allen:

"Two men looked out through prison bars; one saw mud, the other, stars."
Can this be made into some kind of graphic....?
The prison being symbolic of the ways our mind inprisons us into thinking
we cannot do anything. Our deeply entrenched attitudes can turn us
into negative thinkers.
This morning on the radio program Speaking of Faith, the guest interviewed
said that the anecdote to fear is.......curiosity. I found this most enlightening.
Hope my little contribution is able to help you Anwar.....Mush Success with your
TEDxKhartoum 2012.
Feb 20 2012: It'll definitely help a lot dear Mary :)
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts...really appreciated ^^
And you're invited to TEDxKhartoum 2012, April 28th..
if you can't make it...then please join us through live stream :)
Feb 20 2012: You are most welcome. And I will attempt to watch the live stream.Feb 18 2012: To burst out laughing without a reason or for something really stupid.
- 0
Feb 18 2012: Anna, is that "Being Wrong" stuff?
Feb 18 2012: I don't know what you mean by "being wrong".
What I have in mind is when you start laughing for no reason for something that normally is not that funny. And you start laughing and you can't stop and you really don't know why. That kind of contagious laughing!
Feb 19 2012: I meant "Kathryn Schulz: On being wrong"
Now I got your point, thanks for sharing your "positive Thinking" interpretation :)Mar 14 2012: You to have the ability to happiness of others

Your audience is the greatest embodiment of positive thinking you have.
Mar 14 2012: Thank you Ziska,
In fact this conversation goes in parallel with video interviews we do with TEDsters, TEDx organizers and TEDxers :)
Hopefully to frame the concept of positive thinking...it's another version of "Ideas worth doing" :)
Thanks for your courage...we appreciate that :)

now I see some pictures I took at those time sometimes. I failed I tried to get permenant regident right.
if I have another chance, I really want to go there.Feb 26 2012: How about this graphic from my site: http://www.thinkdefyunite.com/Logo284.jpg
Feb 29 2012: That's nice, James....thank you:)Feb 22 2012: The color blue.Feb 22 2012: thanks Dr AnwarFeb 21 2012: -A man running. (Not in athletic clothes.)
It's not his job to run. He just knows there's something there. He doesn't have to know how to get there. He can find your way as you go. He just has to believe there's something there.
The most positive thing I know is just believing. It's so positive that you don't need facts to believe.Feb 19 2012: This may sound elementary but some things are. The impression I get is absence of fear in our worldview when moving towards good. The freedom we experience when deeply passionate about something and nothing can stop us. Or the innocence that surfaces when allowing our truth to steer us when doing something we inherently know is right. We let go of the nay saying that can muddy our path - whether our own tapes or those who see the world through fear - and stay on course because we trust our choices and live our life connected to the hearts and well being of others. Ultimately, thinking positively is an outcome of being honest with ourselves, believing in others, while making choices towards the greater good.Feb 18 2012: An old man with wide smile climbing. A ladder ends with a black wall behind this wall lies something valuable and attractive
Feb 19 2012: Thanks Abdelrahiem for sharing this scene... please do continue ^^Feb 19 2012: Believing TED could reach the world. Deciding we could walk on the moon. Running for President of the US and promising to end the war and bring the troops home.Trusting you will walk again when you cannot feel your legs. Standing at the altar and stating your wedding vows. Losing everything in a disaster and knowing you will have what you need.
Feb 19 2012: Thanks a lot, Linda...
That reminds me of one of the powerful and hopeful TED talks:
David Hoffman on losing everything

[font color=\'#000000\']"if you go to an area you know well and/or read a lot about or if you go right into the unknown?"
- An area I know well is an area I've already mined. The more I know about an area the better my chances of being at the right place at the right time, but conversely my chances of getting a new composition are that much slimmer.
An new area is a gamble; but I can reduce the odds against me by researching the whens and wheres. If I get those right then I have a potential gold mine of new material.
"And do you look at the work other photographers made of the area you're going to - or do you need 'an empty mind'"
- Personally, I'd rather take pictures that have some element of newness to them, of not having been done before (but of course that gets harder every year with six billion people and seven billion cameras on the planet and counting). In that wise, the more pictures I've seen, the more I know about what's already been done and so about what not to do over again. (In technical disciplines this is known as absorbing prior art.)
OTOH, this might not be a good advice for a young person or anyone inclined to hero worship. If you strongly admire Galen Rowell for example, then you go to an area he's taken famous shots in, you would have a tendency to want to take those shots over again. And if you go to an area Galen didn't shoot in, you'd still tend to take pictures in his style.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Well, I think, quite oldfashioned maybe, that equippment has little to do with it. It's what you see, that matters. Of course you can use different and new technologies to translate what you see and perhaps improve upon that 'translation' of your visions - but after all - it comes back to what you want to convey of your impressions.

[font color=\'#000000\']I agree with AWeil, mood has a lot to do with it. I always think my best work comes when I am relaxed, and "eyes wide" on the world.
For me, it's the difference between looking (actively seeking out) and seeing (passively allowing yourself to observe) -- I do best when I am "seeing". It's funny -- I can feel myself slip into this zone, and once I do, it's often hard to stop (a problem if your driving home...!)
When I went to Yosemite for the first time, the weight of all the great work that has been done there was heavy on me: how can I add to this, or find my own voice? But as I walked around the trails, it surprised me how much more beautiful the park was than anyone has ever captured. So there was still work to be done there! And luckily, Ansel (et al) already captured all the primary images, so I didn't have to waste my time recreating them. I could sit back and enjoy the sun setting on Half Dome, and look for my photos elsewhere.
So the challenge for me is to try to remember that there is always something new to be found, whether visiting a master's old stomping grounds, or simply shooting another still life of a flower.[/font]

[font color=\'#000000\']Reading this topic, I was surprised to find out that others feel the same way I do. Nature photography as a hobby tends to be rather private, so I didn't realize that my experience is not so unusual.
I take most photos when I get in a mood where I think I'm seeing more, and I'm feeling good. I don't know if this makes the best art but so far it doesn't make bad art. My mind is focused.
A really, really new place is overwhelming and also I probably done't have the right equipment or film or it's not the best weather or time of day or season and so on. I start out with some plans. I might say "I want to look for reflections in water, distorted by a gentle breeze, with local flora". So I need fast enought film to stop the ripples, The weather can't be too breezy, but sun would be nice. I light rain shower creates nice patterns in the water surface. I might come home with what I had in mind or I might find something else while I'm there. You can't knock it when you stumble on something unplanned and it works.
As for work that's already been done--that's a concern. When I am out and about and feeling that focussed and excited feeling about what I'm seeing, It's hard to believe that what I see and feel and want to share is not unique.
Every time a new technology comes along--color film, better lenses, digital cameras,--there is a flood of really new work. Once you could say that about traveling to places no one had been to with a camera before. Most of us are well behind that leading edge, can't afford the cost perhaps. but does anyone have any doubt that they can produce new stuff?
I view published work and exhibits and study the techniques. It's a great help to get the photographer to share how he/she did a photo.

text: [Rachel examines a deeply moving group exhibition focusing on the lives, dreams, and stories of prisoners in penal facilities all over the U.S. –the artblog editors] You begin with tangible material–concrete, chain-link, cement. Then move through the imaginary, faux-photo backdrops, dreams, desires. All the while, you are immersed in the physical and mental world of contemporary prison life, viewing both reality and reality hoped for. Prison Obscura, on view at Haverford's Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery through March 7th, is not only comprised of great art–but poignant narratives that deserve witness. Curated by Pete Brook, the exhibition presents a critical look at ... More » »

When you hear a catchy song, you listen to it over and over again. When you see an amazing movie in theaters, you buy it on DVD. And the same goes for landing upon a stellar collection at New York Fashion Week — you just can't get enough. That's why we found ourselves walking 'round and 'round in circles at the Clover Canyon spring '13 presentation yesterday.
With stand-out-in-the-crowd prints, suiting pieces we'd live in, and embellishments in all the right places (read: everywhere), the new(ish) designer quickly became one of our favorites of the week and one to watch from now on. Teaming the out-there (but totally wearable) designs with slicked-back faux-hawks and simple makeup and nails, the presentation played to daring dressers and more subtle style lovers alike. Last prediction? This label is the one to watch and snag (before all the street-style stars load up for the next NYFW!).

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by KJay Exactly as pictured I had searched locally for affordable gold chargers with no luck. These have the look I want and the price is great. I love shopping at World Market when I travel and would love to have one here in Tampa. Until then I must be content with online treasures like these. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for them. July 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Shana Great Product I bought 8 of these for my dining room table for Christmas and they looked great! I think I am going to keep these on the table even after the holiday. The chargers looked just as they did on the picture. January 4, 2014

A lot of us have played football. It doesn't mean we know it. Tannehill is a reach at 8. I am pretty sure almost everyone realizes this. It just boils down to if we can trade back and still get him.
I can't wait to see the rage if we draft someone else. It will be so Quinn - like. Hey, the good news is that we can still take a chance on Quinn. He could get cut in summer camp. LOL.
If anyone thinks tannehill is worth a late first round pick, then hes worth the 8th. A franchise QB always will be.
I am resigned to it. I mean he could end up being great and then we are all happy. It just sucks to spend a 1st round pick on a raw QB this high up. Value wise, it is a bad pick.
I prefer going by BPA, which the Fins rarely do anymore in drafts.
Here is my thing. A top 10 QB should be able to start for your team season 1. Especially a team with Matt Moore and Gerard. So if we all think Tanny can start for this team (especially considering it is a new offense that no one knows except - him!! coming from sherman), then bring it on.
So, like, which one of you can pee farther?

One of California's most beloved, most challenging surfing spots! Famous for its massive cold-water winter swells, Steamer has been part of surfing lore for nearly a century, and is the birthplace of the modern wetsuit (an invention of necessity!). This poster features a brilliant photograph of several very brave souls taking on the far-out waves off the Santa Cruz coast, in that unmistakeable slightly-gloomy Northern California weather. If you have taken on Steamer Lane already, or if you hope to someday accept the challenge, this poster is for you! With super-sharp photography and classic white-border design, this is perfect for the wall of home or office.
