Members of Gov. Bob McDonnell's (R) newly created Task Force on Improving Mental Health Services and Crisis Response met for the first time Jan. 7 in Richmond. The membership comprises leaders from the mental health field, law enforcement communities, the judicial system, private hospitals, and individuals receiving mental health services and their families.
Four local leaders have been tapped for the 37-member task force: Sen. Janet Howell (D-32); Kaye Fair, Emergency Services director of the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board in Fairfax; Thomas Wise, chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church; and Rhonda VanLowe of Fairfax, who represents families affected by mental illness.
The group is reviewing existing services and challenges in Virginia's mental health system and will make recommendations, including legislative and budget proposals, for critical improvements to mental health procedures, programs and services.
"We must ensure that people experiencing mental health crises are connected immediately to needed services to help ensure their safety and the safety of those around them," McDonnell said. "It is critically important that we expand existing mental health treatment services as needed in order to help prevent mental health emergencies from happening."
The system's shortcomings came to light when Austin "Gus" Deeds, son of Sen. Creigh Deeds (D-25), stabbed his father multiple times before killing himself at their Bath County home in November. Gus Deeds had been released from an emergency custody order hours earlier after the local community services board said it was unable to locate an available psychiatric bed in the area within the six hours allotted by law.
McDonnell created the task force shortly after the tragedy.
The task force will send initial recommendations to the governor's office no later than Jan. 31, with additional recommendations made on an ongoing basis. The task force will provide a final report on all aspects of the executive order to the governor no later than Oct. 1.
Our Daily Bread last month received a $3,800 check from members of 100+ Women Who Care Northern Virginia, to help relieve the plight of low-income residents in the county. The members of 100+ Women Who Care selected the nonprofit during the organization's November meeting.
"We are very thankful for the support of 100+ Women Who Care Northern Virginia," said ODB Executive Director Lisa Whetzel. "This generous contribution enhances our ability to serve the needs of Fairfax County families who are in financial crisis. … In fact, at least seven families will avoid eviction this winter because of this donation."
Our Daily Bread provides short-term financial assistance to the county's working poor and to those in crisis, easing the way toward self-sufficiency.
"Our Daily Bread is a great example of a local, volunteer-run organization that is making a measurable impact in Fairfax County," said Traci Richards, co-founder of 100+ Women Who Care Northern Virginia. "Our members are proud to support such an outstanding organization that helps individuals and families who are struggling to make ends meet."
100+ Women Who Care Northern Virginia organized in 2012 under Richards' leadership. Four times each year, the women come together for one hour with $100 blank checks and select a local nonprofit worthy of a collective $10,000 donation.
The group's next meeting is at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 6, at Tysons-Pimmit Regional Library at 7584 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church. For more, visit www.100wwcnova.org.
Jose Flores has been named manager of the Cynthia N. Hull Food Pantry at United Community Ministries in Alexandria. He was previously the assistant pantry manager.
"Each weekday at our food pantry, an average 80 to 100 families visit for food assistance," said Richard Dobber, UCM director of Social Services. "Supplemental groceries help them preserve limited income for other critical needs, like housing and utility bills."
Across Fairfax County, more than 76,000 people are considered food insecure; more than 40 percent of those are children. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, an individual who is food insecure does not have access at all times to enough food for an active, healthy life.
Through its many programs, United Community Ministries has become a leading provider of human services in Fairfax County. Last fiscal year, UCM provided life-changing assistance to 11,538 individuals from 4,392 households in the southeast portion of the county.
The 17-member board of directors of the newly formed Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium Authority has elected as its chairman Marshall Cohen of Fairfax.
Cohen is vice president of Government Affairs and Communications at The Babcock & Wilcox Co., a government contractor and international provider of energy products and services.
"I appreciate the opportunity to lead the Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium in its first year as we work to promote Virginia's rich, diverse and important nuclear industry and encourage additional collaboration and partnerships here in the Commonwealth," Cohen said. "Nuclear energy is responsible for thousands of good-paying jobs and millions of dollars in economic activity in Virginia."
Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) has appointed these local residents to state boards and commissions.
Advisory Board on Massage Therapy: Jermaine Mincey of Alexandria, patent examiner with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Certified Interior Designers, Land Surveyors and Landscape Architects: Daniel Santos of Vienna, senior technical adviser with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Quarterback Nick DeCarlo, one of a few Gaithersburg High School football players elected to the homecoming court, headed to the locker room at halftime rather than remain on the field with other homecoming-king-finalist teammates.
DeCarlo never thought he'd win the crown, and he wanted to focus on the halftime message of Gaithersburg coach Kreg Kephart during a pivotal game against Thomas S. Wootton High School.
"He told us, 'They weren't going to be no easy walkover. We punched first. They punched back. We've got to respond,'" DeCarlo said. "He was telling us, 'We have to get that fire in our eyes, come out and punch first and be the last one to punch.'"
Gaithersburg punched first Friday by taking a quick 14-point lead, and punched last by forcing a pair of fourth-quarter turnovers. In between, DeCarlo won homecoming king — and No. 5 Gaithersburg beat No. 6 Wootton 20-14 in Rockville.
Gaithersburg is 5-0 for the first time since at least 2004, winning with star running back Solomon Vault very limited due to a leg injury.
"We're average right now, to be honest," DeCarlo said as his dad, who accepted the crown on his behalf, placed it on the senior's head. "I think we can be very good."
Gaithersburg might not yet be the kings of the 4A West, but they're far from the jesters they played during a 3-7 season in 2012.
Vault, who missed last week's win against Northwest, returning to full health could take Gaithersburg even farther. The Northwestern University recruit had just two carries for eight yards and one catch for nine yards, and he said he'd wait to see how his leg felt before determining his workload for next week.
"He said he was ready, but to be honest, I didn't want to play him," DeCarlo said. "I wanted to rest him, because he's very vital to this team."
Vault looked agitated early in the game, as he couldn't take the field more than a few snaps. But as he saw DeCarlo (10-of-17 for 117 yards and a touchdown) and running back Xaviyer Mosley (85 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries) hit their stride, Vault became an increasingly enthusiastic cheerleader from the sideline.
"We've got a lot of talented guys," Vault said. "So, I don't need to play, because we can still be successful when I don't play."
Gaithersburg, which won its first four games by at least 17 points, appeared on track for another big win when DeCarlo and Mosley touchdowns gave Gaithersburg a 14-0 lead after its first two drives. But Wootton cut the lead to 17-14 by halftime.
Gaithersburg's three-point lead became even more tenuous in the fourth quarter.
Mosley and Vault were out of the game due to injury. DeCarlo had thrown an interception on the previous drive, and when the next one stalled, Gaithersburg shanked a punt, giving Wootton the ball at the Gaithersburg 34-yard line.
"It was a good gut check," Kephart said.
Avery Taylor sacked Wootton quarterback Sam Ellis and forced a fumble, which Anthony Combs recovered and returned a few yards. As Combs scooped up the ball, Taylor relaxed his posture mid-play, relaxing ever-so-slightly for the first time all night.
"I felt like the momentum turned our way," Taylor said. "I knew we were going to score."
Luis Vigil added his second field goal of the game, and Evan Barnes nabbed Wootton's third interception — Jake Thomas had two — to seal the win.
Wootton (3-2), similar Gaithersburg, had dominated on the field prior to Friday. Despite forfeiting its season-opening victory over Walter Johnson, Wootton had outscored its opponents by 29 points per game in four on-field victories.
Wootton coach Tyree Spinner said he knew this would be his team's toughest challenge of the season so far. All week, he told his players "dogfight," and that's what the game became.
Gaithersburg, a little more seasoned, just won it.
This is the second straight game Gaithersburg handed a team its first on-field loss.
Kephart said last week's win over Northwest, which ended a two-game losing streak in the series, was bigger than this win, which extended Gaithersburg's win streak over Wootton to seven. But he added a caveat.
"The kids had more respect for Northwest," Kephart said. "I think they've got a lot of respect for Wootton now."
No. 5 Gaithersburg 20, No. 6 Wootton 14
Wootton (3-2) 7 7 0 0 — 14
Gaithersburg (5-0) 17 0 0 3 — 20

Wootton — Jake Koplan 5-6, Bryan Castillo 3-5, Sam Ellis 4-(-20).
Gaithersburg — Xaviyer Mosley 22-85, Nick DeCarlo 8-44, Zavae Johnson 5-38, Solomon Vault 2-8, Vicco Bedell 1-0.
Wootton — Sam Ellis 14-39-183-3

ISE Mission Partners: Department of Homeland Security
Posted by admin on Saturday, December 11, 2010
Department of Homeland Security Overview
In the decade since September 11th, the federal government has strengthened the connection between collection and analysis on transnational organizations and threats. Terrorism-related information sharing across the intelligence community has greatly improved. Moreover, we have strengthened the ability to convey intelligence on threats to the homeland in a context that is useful and relevant to law enforcement and homeland security officials at the state and local level.
DHS, working closely with the FBI, has re-focused its information sharing and production efforts to better address the needs of state and local governments as well as private sector partners. In addition, DHS continues to improve and expand the information-sharing mechanisms by which it informs relevant communities of threat pictures, vulnerabilities, and potential impacts on local communities.
More About the Department of Homeland Security
Consistent with the direction the President has set for a robust information sharing environment, DHS continues to work with many homeland security partners to build the necessary architecture for information sharing.
Four key elements of the homeland security information sharing architecture bring to bear the strength of the entire homeland security enterprise:
- National Network of Fusion Centers: Fusion centers serve as focal points within the state and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and sharing of threat-related information. The centers accomplish this by involving federal, state, local, tribal, territorial (SLTT) and private sector partners.
- Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative: Our efforts, in coordination with the Department of Justice, to implement a unified process for reporting, tracking, and accessing [SARs] in a manner that rigorously protects the privacy and civil liberties of Americans, as called for in the National Strategy for Information Sharing.
- National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS): The NTAS, replaces the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS). This system will more effectively communicate information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector.
- If You See Something, Say Something:The Department's nation-wide public awareness campaign –a simple and effective program to raise public awareness of indicators of terrorism and violent crime, and to emphasize the importance of reporting suspicious activity to the proper state and local law enforcement authorities.
Federal and International Partnerships Through close federal and international partnerships DHS works to ensure that resources and information are available to state and local law enforcement, giving those on the frontlines the tools they need to protect local communities.
- Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF): DHS and fusion centers work closely with JTTFs, which are led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and coordinate resources and expertise from across the federal government to investigate terrorism cases. DHS has provided hundreds of personnel to support the 104 JTTFs across the country. JTTFs have been critical to many recent terrorism investigations, including the arrests of Najibullah Zazi and Faisal Shahzad for terrorist plots to attack the New York transit system and Times Square, respectively.
- Preventing and Combating Serious Crime Agreements (PCSC): DHS, in collaboration with DOJ and the Department of State (DOS), has completed PCSC Agreements, or their equivalent with 35 Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries and two additional countries to share biographic and biometric information about potential terrorists and serious criminals.
- Agreements to Share Information on Lost and Stolen Passports: All 36 VWP countries have completed an exchange of diplomatic notes or an equivalent mechanism for the requirement to enter into an agreement to share information on lost and stolen passports with the United States through INTERPOL or other designated means.

John Rabe
War, Drama
China was in flames when a German businessman became a reluctant hero. When the Imperial Japanese Army invaded China in 1937, attacking the civilian population of the capital Nanking with unprecedented inhumanity, John Rabe, manager of Siemens' China branch and a resident in the country for 27 years, took action. Along with a few other members of the foreign community including doctors and missionaries who remained in the city, and driven by simple humanitarian concerns, shock at the appalling behaviour of Germany's Asian ally, and a love for the country and people among whom he had worked for so long, he created a safety zone in which a quarter of a million civilians survived what was later to go down in history as the "Nanking Massacre."

CLEVELAND -- Ariel Castro was back in court this morning for another pre-trial as both sides prepare for a scheduled Aug. 5 trial date.
The proceeding saw both sides spar over whether evidence is being supplied to Castro's attorneys in a timely fashion in order for them to prepare for his defense.
Prosecutor Tim McGinty and Castro's lawyers acknowledged in court that there have been plea discussions involving Castro. But failing a deal, both sides they are ready to go to trial in less than two weeks.
PHOTOS | Ariel Castro's court appearances
Castro is accused of holding Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight captive for years.
The nearly 1,000 charges against him include murder, rape and kidnapping.
The three women were found alive in May after escaping a home on Seymour Avenue.
At his previous court appearance last Wednesday, a judge repeatedly ordered Castro open his eyes and look at her. After squinting through his eyes, Castro said he was "trying" to open them.
Today, Castro again kept his head down and eyes averted for much of the hearing. He did raise his head to answer the judge's questions about whether his attorneys were doing as he asked. Castro replied, "yes."

I'm in indiana and our local home depot sells pieces
If you can't find the pieces you need locally, try some of the fabrication shops in town. Someone can shear and brake the needed pieces and you can get them cut to fit. DaveIf necessity is the Mother of Invention, I must be the Father of Desperation!

One more thing, if you're not asking the right questions sometimes you'll get a really wrong answer. Any place of business that deals with professionals will have price breaks based upon quanities. A lot of them have a penalty of sorts for those who come without a clue of what to ask for. They have a price that's out of line for those folks. I know. It's not fair. But it does happen.

U.S. farmers are on pace for an all-time record high harvest.
While the conditions in Iowa were less than ideal — starting with one of the wettest springs in history followed by drought conditions in July and August — Gavilon Manager Dean Michaelson said farmers in the early stages of harvest have been "pleasantly surprised."
One of the reasons for the record-setting year is an increase in the number of acres planted.
"The high price of corn the last two or three years encouraged people to plant more acres," Michaelson said. "We've seen a lot of CRP acres turn into row crops."
So even though the growing conditions did not produce a bumper crop with high yields, the increase in the number of acres will balance out the estimated harvest of 14.15 billion bushels.
Iowa may struggle compared to other states in the Midwest because of the extreme weather conditions, but Michaelson said it will have a minimal effect on the commodity market.
Michaelson said southern states, like Mississippi, switch cottonfields to cornfields to take advantage of the high market prices.
"We may have less to export and the other states may have more grain to ship out," Michaelson said. "But overall, it will balance out. It may keep our basis a little higher if the total number of bushels is tighter."
Harvest time
Most area farmers are starting to harvest soybeans that were planted early in the growing season and able to get adequate sunlight.
Some cornfields are also close to harvest, but Tracey Cameron, an agronomist for Gavilon, said most farmers focus on beans first.
Corn prices continued to fall, settling at $4.37 for December delivery on the Chicago Board of Trade Wednesday.
"The beans are mature and tend to dry down quickly to harvest moisture," Cameron said. "If they leave the beans in the field, they become too dry, and there is a high chance of damage to the seed coat if they plan to hold any seeds back to plant with next year."
The average ideal moisture level for soybeans is 13 percent. Corn is a little higher at 15 percent.
"Beans are running pretty good right now," Michaelson said.
Cameron added harvesting too early results in prolonged and costly drying expenses. To maintain a profit, Cameron said farmers have to try to harvest as close to the ideal moisture level as possible.
Soybeans finished at $12.76 for November delivery, making a slight recovery to close out Wednesday.
Michaelson said some beanfields may not be ready for another week or 10 days depending on if the weather cooperates and speeds up the drying process.
Government blackout
While farmers will still be able to work on getting the harvest out, the stalemate in Washington, D.C., may hurt U.S. exports and market prices if a compromised is not reached.
A United States Department of Agriculture press release announced its branch — the National Agricultural Statistics Service — will be unavailable to issue crop and livestock reports while employees are on furlough.
Michaelson said reports include details of the global supply and demand for agriculture commodities.
Without the report, which is set to be released Oct. 11, overseas trade could be adversely effected as markets are left in the dark.

You have to remember the formula for how Beavis and Butthead worked. These 2 kids are "metal heads". They would pan the pop videos of the time as saying they sucked, but then come across a video for Faith No More, Soundgarden or Ozzy, and let the headbanging begin. Mike Judge knows his formula, I doubt he's going to change it.
My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!
I wonder if B&B will take whacks at some of the reality shows MTV puts on.
Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.
I could see them doing a Mystery Science Theater kind of thing with music videos

Fashion may often be about what looks good, but just as important (or even more), it's about what feels good. And with a sexy collection that runs the gamut of quirky prints, feminine hems, sophisticated looks, and the perfect menswear-inspired tailoring, Stella McCartney's pre-fall is a collection to feel good about.
A sartorial anthem for girl power, the London designer's lineup is filled with inspired looks that, pieced together, make up a dream wardrobe for real girls with real style. The line includes a swoon-worthy number of over-sized outerwear that's utterly chic, yet everyday practical. Silhouettes are quite boxy (think linear maxi dresses and straight-cut trousers in jewel-toned metallics), yet still flatter a woman's figure — a skill that McCartney has mastered season after season. Punctuated with a color scheme that's small in range, yet huge in impact, the results of the pre-fall collection make us dream of all the places where we can wear these powerful looks. The possibilities are endless.

Fernando Alonso reckons Nico Hulkenberg deserves a "competitive" ride as he is "one of the best drivers" in F1.
Having lost the opportunity to partner Alonso at Ferrari next season, Hulkenberg has since been in the hunt for a new team for 2014.
The German has been linked to Lotus although that deal has yet to be signed as the team is waiting on financial backing.
Should that fail to materialise, Hulkenberg could once again find himself stuck in Formula One's midfield with either Force India or Sauber.
Alonso, though, believes he deserves a "competitive" car.
"For me Nico is one of the best drivers on the grid," the double World Champion told Autosport.
"I said that three years ago, and now everyone seems to have discovered him.
"He is doing a great job, [which] I think is no surprise - he was doing an amazing job [in 2010 with Williams].
"Getting pole position here [in Brazil], in difficult conditions, was a sign of his talent.
"Hopefully we see him in a competitive car in the future."

If You Like Gumdrops, You'll LOVE Our Jumbo-Size Gumdrops!
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Giant Gumdrops (2 lb. Bag) …
"I've always loved fruit gumdrops, the ones with real fruity flavor. These absolutely fit the bill. I'd like to replace all of the licorice ones with lemon ones, but that's the only change I'd make. Except . . . make the bag even bigger!" - Anne Ballard, Montgomery Village, MD
"I love these giant gumdrops. Gumdrops were a childhood favorite and these just double the fun. Wonderful flavors and a real treat for my grandchildren. Thanks!" - Beverly Simstein, Winston-Salem, NC
"In December 2011 I bought these for the first time. When I took my first bite I was instantly transformed to a place and time over 50 years ago when my mom bought gumdrops for me when we lived out on the Kansas prairie near a small town named Teterville. Mom is gone and nothing remains of Teterville. But the taste and flavor of these gumdrops help to keep both of them clear and warm in my memory."-Ted Brickley, Emporia, KS

Ole Miss was an early College Football Playoff contender, but slipped with late seasons losses.
Ole Miss Rebels Football Tickets - Overview
The Ole Miss Rebels play Division I college football for the University of Mississippi in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Rebels play their home games at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford MS. Houston Nutt is the head coach of the Rebels. Their main rivals include Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Louisiana State University and Arkansas.
Ole Miss Rebels Football Tickets - History
The Ole Miss football program began in 1890. The Rebels have played in the SEC since 1932 and have won six conference titles in that time. They have also won three national titles; the most recent one was in 1962. The Rebels won the Western Division within the SEC in 2003. Ole Miss is the alma mater of Archie Manning, his son and the New York Giants Eli Manning as well as Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman, Michael Oher, whose story was told in the film, 'The Blind Side.' As of 2011, Ole Miss has played in 33 bowl games and won 21 of them. They won the Cotton Bowl in 2009 and 2010.

3/18/15: Ole Miss QB Chad Kelly, the nephew of Buffalo Bills legendary QB Jim Kelly, may be getting back into good graces with the school and football program. He completed his court-ordered community service from an incident outside of a Buffalo nightclub. Kelly is a talented player, but has had anger management issues in the past. He wore out his welcome at Clemson. Hopefully, he is getting his life back in order. If that happens, then he may end up as the starting QB for the Rebels in the not-to-distant future, and perhaps take that development further into playing on Sundays.
3/11/15: A few weeks ago, Sean Patterson was an offensive quality control coach at LSU. His brother was a five star QB prospect that was looking at both LSU and Ole Miss. Sean quit his job the same day Shea committed to Ole Miss, and the Pattersons' father reported that Sean had several job opportunities, one of them happened to be at Mississippi. Lo and behold, brother Sean has a job as the Rebels' associate director of recruiting operations. Sean Patteson reportedly meets the qualifications for recruiting job, though do not be surprised if others call 'Shenanigans', especially considering how hard LSU was sanctioned for their early enrollee that backed out.
2/25/14: Ole Miss got the verbal commitment from highly prized recruit Shea Patterson recently, beating out SEC rival LSU. Patterson is the No. 3 ranked player in the 2016 class and a five-star prospect, so this is potentially huge for Ole Miss. However, LSU may not be as excited. Shea's older brother Sean Jr. had been a quality assurance assistant at LSU until a few days before Shea made his commitment. He reportedly has a few different opportunities available to him, including one with Ole Miss. Needless to say, LSU may thing that something shady went down, but there is nothing wrong on the surface with the situation.
2/11/15: Statistics are all about presentation and perception. If one looks at Ole Miss' 2015 recruiting class and notices that they ranked sixth out of seven teams in the SEC West, one might conclude it was not a good recruiting effort. However, that same recruiting class finished 21st overall (according to Rivals), and that is a decidedly better outcome. In fact, the Rebels finished with 22 recruits, six of which were rated as 4-stars. They had a better ranking than Florida, Virginia Tech and Arkansas. Also, Hugh Freeze is a pretty good coach, so they may well end up better than they start.
2/4/15: As the old saying goes "a rising tide raises all ships", and Ole Miss may be a beneficiary of that rising tide. The rising tide, of course, is the high caliber of football programs in the SEC, particularly the SEC West. All seven SEC West teams were ranked in the top 25 for this year's recruiting class, with Ole Miss placing seventh among the division at number 24 (according to Rivals, as of January 31). So there are two ways to look at it: either the Rebels are last in recruiting in the SEC West, or they are ranked 24th nationally - which is pretty good (and ahead of four SEC East teams).
1/28/15: One of the downsides to big time college football success is that any issue, whether big or small, makes national news. Ole Miss' Trae Elston and Damore'ea Stringfellow were arrested last week for disorderly conduct outside a bar. Unfortunately, this type of thing happens with college students, whether they are star athletes or not. To his credit, Elston has tried to get out in front of the story and apologize for his actions. As expected, the coaching staff is 'gathering information', which may lead to some kind of punishment. Hopefully, this is the first and last of Elston's off-field problems.
1/21/15: Now that all the games have been played and the final tabulations are in, let's take a look at Ole Miss. If you would have told an Ole Miss fan six months ago that his or her team would finish with a 9-4 record, beat Alabama, beat Mississippi State and finish in the top 20, then that fan would have been ecstatic. And that is exactly what the Rebels did. But now it is the final weeks of the recruiting period. Ole Miss' great season seems to be paying off in recruits, including four star defensive back Tony Bridges and defensive tackle D.J. Jones. As it stands, they have the 22nd ranked recruiting class, but that can get even better with a strong close.
1/14/15: The Ole Miss Rebels are going to have to break in a new quarterback next season and no one knows who that will be. Bo Wallace may not be a future professional quarterback, but he does leave the school with several records. The new candidates will have a chance to make a first impression in the spring and the coaching staff can narrow it down in the summer practices. Those practices will be without running back Mark Dodson and safety David Kamara, who are leaving the program. On top of that, the team will have to decide what to do with Chad Kelly and his inability to stay out of trouble.
1/7/14: The SEC West was well-represented in several major bowl games this season. Unfortunately, it was a very tough bowl season for the division, and most teams suffered upsets. That includes Ole Miss, who was thoroughly humbled at the Peach Bowl by TCU. TCU felt snubbed that they were not invited to the College Football Playoff, but at least they did not complain about like Baylor. They let their actions show how good they are and drubbed Ole Miss 42-3. That is the largest margin of loss for Ole Miss, surpassing the 35-3 beating at the hands of Michigan in the 1991 Gator Bowl.
12/3/14: Well, if you cannot win your own division title or get to the playoffs, then the next best thing is to ruin your arch rival's season. That is exactly what Ole Miss did to Mississippi State last Saturday in the latest edition of the Egg Bowl. Jalen Walton broke the game open with a 91 yard touchdown run that should have been stopped after five yards, leading the Rebels to a 31-17 win. The win improved Ole Miss to 9-3 on the season while knocking the Bulldogs out of contention for the College Football Playoffs. The regular season is now over for Ole Miss, but they will be going to a bowl game. Now it is just a waiting game to determine which bowl game they will go to.
11/19/14: The Rebels lost a heartbreaker to LSU a few weeks ago, which dropped them out of the top four in the College Football Playoff rankings. They beat up on FCS Presbyterian two weeks ago and had a bye this past weekend, which is basically two bye weeks in a row. At 8-2, Ole Miss is now ranked 10th by the Playoff Committee, which may be too far back to get into the playoffs. The good news is that they do have two more chances to make an impression on the committee. They are at Arkansas next week followed by the Egg Bowl with Mississippi State.
11/12/14: Ole Miss' fall from elite to also ran was swift. Losing at LSU 10-7 followed by a home loss of 35-31 to Auburn dropped them down to 11th in the CFP rankings and making it almost impossible for them to get into the playoffs. Last Saturday was an easy 'name your score' win over visiting Presbyterian. The score they named was 48-0 and a good chance for stars to pad their stats and backups to get some playing time. While that was effectively a bye week, they have an actual bye this weekend. They will get back to work for a November 22nd game at Arkansas.
11/5/14: Ole Miss is still one of the best teams in the country, but their playoff hopes may be over after a heartbreaking loss to visiting No.3 Auburn. In what amounted to an elimination game, Ole Miss appeared to score the go-ahead touchdown with 90 seconds left. The touchdown was reviewed and it was ruled that receiver Laquon Treadwell fumbled just shy of the goal line. Auburn recovered and held on to win 35-31. Even worse is that Treadwell's season is over as he broke his ankle on the play. The Rebels are now 7-2, 4-2, and are home this Saturday to host Presbyterian.
10/29/14: The Ole Miss Rebels suffered their first defeat of the year and it was a heartbreaker. It was a game of defense in a classic SEC showdown at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. With no timeouts and a long field to go to get into field goal range, Bo Wallace converted a fourth down and got a key pass interference call to get into field goal range. A delay of game made it a 47 yard attempt, but the Rebels tried to get one more shot at winning in, but it was intercepted and the No. 3 Rebels fell to No. 24 LSU 10-7. There is not much time to lament this loss, though, as Auburn is coming to town this Saturday.
10/22/14: Ole Miss stayed in the number 3 spot after dismantling Tennessee 34-3 at home last Saturday. The Rebels allowed a field goal just 2:20 into the game, then completely dominated and shut out the Volunteers, as one would expect a top team to do. There were a lot of contributors to this win. QB Bo Wallace threw for 199 yards and two TDs. Seven players combined for 180 yards and two rushing touchdowns on the day. Meanwhile, Tennessee had six rushers combine for zero yards on 28 carries (-41 on sacks). Ole Miss improved to 7-0, 4-0, and has another SEC game this Saturday at LSU.
10/15/14: What a month for football in the Magnolia State. Ole Miss started the season with some hope but has simply come alive and is off to a 6-0 record. Of course, the two biggest win were over the past two weeks as the Rebels outlasted presumed SEC West favorite Alabama, then went on the road and took down No. 14 Texas A&M. The fine play has earned the respect of the national media, which has rewarded the Rebels with a No. 3 ranking - and within shouting distance of No. 2 Florida State. Ole Miss is back home this Saturday to host the Tennessee Volunteers in a nationally televised primetime game.

http://www.phinfever.com/view...php?f=2&t=8116On those 5 throws, you tell me what Ryan should have done differently.
1) The first one Ryan had to throw it away because Willis came in unblocked.
2) The designed deep throw to Matthews. No shot at making that one. Completely draped by the CB.
3) Another throw away because of quick pressure and not finding anybody open.
4) The play to Bess. I don't see how this is a "miss". Even Brady "misses" this almost every time. Rodgers was right in his hip pocket, and the throw was over the middle...The toughest throws to make in football are directly in front of the QB where he has no angle to fit a ball in. Nearly impossible throw to make...Plus, a play that should not have been called in the first place.
5) I want to see the coaches film when it gets released tomorrow to see if anybody was open, but obviously the throw to Moore had no shot of being completed. Even if the throw was accurate (again, even a throw Brady probably doesn't hit), it probably gets knocked down because of coverage.
Those 5 plays weren't on Tannehill. Sorry.

By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD
Hydrocephalus refers to a build-up of fluid within the brain. This accumulated fluid places pressure on the brain, which can cause brain damage.
This brain damage can lead to various different symptoms, some of which include:
The brain is surrounded by a fluid called the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This CSF performs several important functions, which include protecting the brain from damage, providing it with the nutrients required for proper function and removing waste products from the brain. New CSF is continuously produced by the brain and the old is released for absorption by blood vessels. However, disruption to this cycle can cause CSF to accumulate in the brain, putting the organ under pressure.
There are three main types of hydrocephalus. The first type is present at birth and is called congenital hydrocephalus. It can be caused by birth defects such as spina bifida or as a consequence of an infection the mother developed during pregnancy.
The second type develops after birth and is referred to as acquired hydrocephalus. This may develop as the result of an injury or as a complication of a medical condition, for example.
The third type only develops in individuals aged over 50 years and is referred to as normal pressure hydrocephalus or NPH. It sometimes develops after a stroke or a head injury, but generally the cause of this condition is not well understood.
The type of hydrocephalus can be determined using brain scans. The condition can often be treated using a device called a shunt, which is a thin tube that is surgically implanted in the brain to provide a channel by which excess CSF can be drained away from the brain. The fluid moves way from the brain to another body part, usually the abdomen, where it is then absorbed into the bloodstream.

Plaid Flannel Housecoat 2 2
Soft and roomy I found your site via a Facebook post of the author Anne Rice who buys her comfy nightgowns from you. I came across this robe and fell in love with it. It was exactly what I had been looking for. Soft, comfy, roomy, perfect length, even the 3/4 sleeves! The black watch (blue/green plaid) is gorgeous. There is no clinging and front pocket in lieu of side pockets was also a bonus. January 9, 2013
My Favorite! Love this homey flannel housecoat--it replaces an identical one in the black & green tartan plaid--also bought from VCS many years ago--finally it was time to replace! And makes a great, well-loved gift. January 5, 2013

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Plaid Flannel Housecoat …
"I bought the red plaid housecoat/matching nightgown for my mother's November birthday. She loved it so much that I'm ordering the same set in the Blackwatch pattern for Christmas. Quality workmanship, wonderful waltz length for those who are not tall. It's just a perfect winter set, and Vermont Country Store picked the perfect print. This is NOT for those who want trendy sleepware. This classic was in style 20 years ago and remains the same. This is so great, when I pay off the items, I'd like a set for myself. Buy this one, you won't regret it." - Sue Mulcunry, Farmington, CT

Ligety storms to Gold in the Super Combined
HEAD World Cup Rebel Ted Ligety produced the run of his life in the Downhill and then finished the job off with a stunning slalom run in the Super Combined. Ligety was in good company on the second run with Aksel Lund Svindal in second after the downhill section and Matthias Mayer in seventh, just behind Ligety, who was 0.72 back from the lead.
After the downhill run, Ligety said: "I'm in a good position. I'd like to have more time on Ivica and Benni, but I feel like I'm in a place where I can easily take those downhill guys if I have a good run. It's going to be those slalom guys who are going to challenge," said Ted. While Kostelic was in the lead when Ligety came onto the course, Raich had already straddled and was out.
"I knew that I had to be in a good position after the downhill. I knew that the downhillers would ski a little more carefully. I skied smart, looked ahead and controlled things. I have skied on the World Cup for nine years and know where I have to put the pressure on," explained Ligety after the slalom run.
With still five racers to go after his slalom run, one of who was Aksel Lund Svindal, the defending champion, the result was not yet secured. With a lead of over one second, Ligety was in a strong position. Adrian Theaux and Christof Innerhofer both skied out under the pressure that Ligety had created and when Svindal straddled coming onto the steep, it was Downhill section winner Baumann or Ligety for the win.
Baumann skied within himself but was shedding speed and crossed the line in third. Ligety had his second Gold medal of the Championships and now has the chance to be the first racer since Jean Claude Killy in 1968 to win three Gold Medals in the same World Championships on Friday.
Ligety does not believe that because he has won two gold medals this makes him favourite for the Giant Slalom: "Just because you win one does not mean you have advantage in another."
With three world titles now in three different disciplines, Ligety felt that "I never wanted to be a specialist, this is pretty surreal."
GOLD: Ted Ligety (USA) HEAD
Silver: Ivica Kostelic (CRO)

"I'm dying to see some figure skating, I think it's so beautiful. I've never seen Olympic figure skating in person and I'm hoping I can somehow finagle a ticket," says Savannah Guthrie.
Natalie Morales is excited as well.
She's been packed for three weeks and can't wait to see the American gold winners.
"When they're right there, in our studio talking to us the next morning, tears running down face, you can't help but feel the emotion with them," she says.

In ancient Japan, a young boy named Momotaro stands to protect his village from the evil, giant ogres. So, with the help of his animal friends, Momotaro ventures out to take on the baddies.
The show, 'Anime Momotaro,' does sound like it's a big cartoon. The folks at Imagination Stage, however, would like you to know that it is just as real as the cold weather outside.
Imagination Stage will present 'Anime Momotaro' starting Wednesday in Bethesda. The show, based on Japanese folklore, is directed by its writer, Eric Johnson.
Johnson, who is originally from Boone, N.C., and has worked with Imagination Stage before, is the artistic director for the Honolulu Theatre for Youth in Hawaii.
"I was based on the East Coast for a number of years and I did two shows [at Imagination Stage]," Johnson said. "Both of those shows were very much multimedia shows. We used a lot of film and projection design and those kinds of techniques in the shows. This show is interesting because we don't use any actual film — we're using a lot of the techniques that are in film, specifically in animation, to tell the story.
An example of that, Johnson said, was the use of a hand fan on stage to express emotion.
"If a character gets really angry, in the way of a cartoon, a thought bubble might pop up and there might be flames in their thought bubble," Johnson said. "We actually have a fan that we open behind the head of the actor and it has drawn flames on the fan. So you're getting something that looks kind of like a live cartoon. We've done some of Imagination Stage's work out in Hawaii and we're really glad they decided to pick up some of our work."
The role of Momotaro belongs to Jacob Yeh, who has performed in 'P.Nokio: A Hip-Hop Musical' and 'Wake Up, Brother Bear' at Imagination Stage. Johnson said Yeh's knowledge of martial arts was critical for him landing the part.
"[Jacob] is great! When we were coming out here, I was a little worried," Johnson said. "Hawaii is predominantly Asian, so we knew we wanted to have some really talented Asian actors in the show like we had in the production [in Hawaii]. That was really important to us. So I was worried about who we could find for the title role. Jacob is just wonderful. He is such a creative individual. A sharp actor, he brings martial arts training, which is really helpful because we have these large [martial arts] sections in the show. He brings a lot to that."
Yeh was excited for the opportunity to bring Momotaro to life.
"What boy doesn't grow up wanting to be a super hero?" Yeh said. "To imagine their origins are other-worldly? That they have been endowed with super strength or super speed or something? Yeah, it's been fantastic to be able to play a boy who's got a special gift. Just to see how he goes about dealing with the world around him and seeing him go on this epic journey to find out who he is and where his real faith lies, it's awesome."
While Johnson has nothing but praise for his leading man, Yeh says Johnson is a fantastic director.
"He's the first director I've had where you feel really at ease with him, but he's still getting stuff done and he's given me great notes," Yeh said. "I think when you're doing children's theater, some people tend to get into the habit of being a little too obvious and you try to telegraph things and he keeps telling me, 'Play it real. Play it natural.' This is the one character in the whole show who is not a caricature. There are times when he strikes these poses or he's heroic and stuff, but he's usually trying to figure out the world. He's trying to listen to his parents, he's trying to do the right thing, he's trying to be brave, but he's also trying to learn from the other animals."
The anime style of animation is huge across the world now. Shows such as 'Dragon Ball,' 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' and 'Pokemon' are shown across all major television networks. Regardless, Johnson hopes audiences understand this show is not a cartoon.
"I'm a little worried [people will think it's a cartoon]," Johnson said. "Imagination Stage has such a reputation for doing really creative theatrical work that a lot of people will look at that title and ask the question, 'How in the world is this theater going to use that form in a new way?' There certainly are big fans of anime who will be curious on that level. It's very much theater."

Photographing Dinner
Do you post photos on Chowhound, or maybe on a blog?
I'd love to hear and see some of your experiences. Not super pro stuff, just cooks who click.
What camera do you use? Do you use a lighting set-up or natural light? What has been useful, what has been problematic? Do you photograph all your steps, or just the final product? What issues have you found with uploads? What solutions have you found?
And finally, post some great photos! Post your unsuccessful ones and maybe we can troubleshoot together.
I am working with a Nikon point and shoot that is about 10 years old. I hope to upgrade soon (for various reasons, not just food pics). I use a workbench lamp clamped to my cookbook holder on the kitchen counter. Sometimes it works, other times, not so much. I also seem to lose some color value when I upload to Chowhound. Still working on it, still having fun.
So glad you started this thread, Nightshade! Point by point:
- I also use a point and shoot. Canon PowerShot A590 IS, 4 or 5 years old, Aquarium and macro settings, to be exact. Those two settings seem to best reproduce what I see with the naked eye.
I have access to the Man's fancycam, but am still debating over whether to use it for my blog pics because if there is any point of view to my blog, it's that I find particular satisfaction in making do, and I've somehow got it in my mind that using my point and shoot is better aligned with that philosophy. (Though people have made some very good points about why I should consider using the other cam.)
- No particular lighting setup. However, as it gets later in the day, I will turn on the kitchen light, which is fluorescent, and the dining room light, which is incandescent, to balance out the blue from the fluorescent.
- Sometimes problematic and other times a boon for me is ambient lighting because of the way our current kitchen is set up. Lots of natural light from the back. Sometimes it makes for a stark white background that provides lots of contrast. Other times, it washes out detail and color.
- I photograph all or most of my steps and share those albums with friends on facebook who seem to like the sequential pics. Helps them when they're duplicating the recipes. (I love facebook albums for that reason, btw.)
- No issue with uploads unless I have crap connection.
- I also lose color when I upload here.
The first two pics show how anemic/washed out the fluorescent light can appear as opposed to the third pic, which is balanced with the incandescent.
I've got way too many crap pics to choose just one. :P
Still have a LONG way to go in terms of composition and angling, particularly when it comes to multiple elements on a plate. Dead on from the top seems so one dimensional, but then some times it's the only way to show more than 2 elements.
I'm not very food-style-ish. I care about presentation, but my own style is fairly casual, so I tend not to doll the food up too much and usually photograph it the way it lands on the plate, relying more on angling and distance to try to make it look appealing than on heavy manipulation.
Almost forgot the steam. It's always handy when taking sequential shots to have a steam blower handy. The Man is very good about blowing steam. It's difficult to do it yourself from behind the camera. :P
So much more to learn, so I'm looking forward to more responses!
re: inaplasticcup
Ina, you are a great photographer if you get all those beautiful photos from a point and shoot AND just light from your kitchen and dining room! I get weird shadows or they just aren't bright enough.
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
Thanks, Bombay. You're always so encouraging, and I'm flattered you like my pics because I find yours really pleasing to the eye and imagination.
Care to share some of your tricks with us?
re: inaplasticcup
It's amazing what different lighting can do! What do you mean by a steam blower? I use my hubby as an asst sometimes too;o)
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
LOL. When I take sequential pics of the cooking session for other share albums, I also photograph the actual cooking process (I rarely post those pics here), so steam rises to the lens from the cooking vessel and makes for foggy pictures. And no matter how I try to blow it away from behind the camera, I just can't seem to direct the air to the right place, hence the Steam Blowing Man.
re: inaplasticcup
Aaah, I know exactly what you are talking about! I've just blown with my mouth sometimes when I'm taking shots on the stove...lol I never thought of actually having something to do it with!
re: inaplasticcup
Didn't you say you were moving? Or was that someone else? If it was you, how will the light be in your new kitchen? I'm impressed that your photos are taken with ambient light.
re: L.Nightshade
I am moving, and I've yet to take food pics in the new kitchen. Am really curious as to how that's going to work. I'm really trying to maximize the point and shoot for now, just to see how much better I can get with it before I start having the Man take pics with his SLR.
When I (self) publish my e-book, I will definitely have him take the pics if for the much finer resolution and richness of color (pics attached). But for now, I'm going to take the P&S as far as I can take it. (Not to mention the fact the Man would have a heart attack if I abused his camera the way I do mine, during the cooking process, with meat and flour and oil on my hands, no less. :P)
re: inaplasticcup
Those photos are with the fancy cam? The resolution is great. I also like the narrow depth of field. I can't get the background to go soft focus with my point and shoot.
re: L.Nightshade
Have you tried getting up real close using a macro setting?
And yeah, those are the fancycam pics. :)
re: inaplasticcup
I guess you are right, when I get very close there is some loss of focus in the background. Usually I don't hold the camera steady enough and lose all focus! Next camera gets a tripod.
re: L.Nightshade
Maybe you're forgetting to eat before you shoot! :P
I don't know if this will help, but sometimes, when my shooting hand (right) is shaky, I steady it at the wrist with my left.
re: inaplasticcup
I will try your steadying idea, thanks.
Well, of course I don't eat before I shoot. Everyone must wait for the photos to be taken, myself included!
re: inaplasticcup
Looking at your first photo id say your fluorescent bulb is probably matched close to daylight balance as far as color goes. You would be better off spending 5 $ and buying a daylight balanced incandescent bulb for your incandescent fixture. If you try to balance different color light sources against each other you will end up with pictures that have strange color casts either over the whole image or just in the shadow areas. Your first photo in the series is actually the closest to a marketable image instead of turning on that incandescent fixture which made the shadow area of the bun in the foreground orange, a small white or silver fill card would have filled the shadow and kept the over all color balance right. Your "corrected" third image actually looks way too orange both in the highlight and its super orange in the shadows that are being filled by your incandescent light that is way too warm. Digital cameras are much more accurate at reproducing color casts than film ever was. being consistent with the color of your light is super important with digital. Using one light source and cards is an easier way to go it kills the need to check to make sure that all the colors of the lights match each other. Also for around $10 pick up grey strip card for color balance. its a small card that has a scale of pure white to pure black. you can lay it in the frame on your first picture and remove it for the rest. when you get your images into your editing software balance the image with the grey card then apply the settings to the rest of the images from that shot. Its a simple cheap way to make sure your colors are accurate to the subject matter. ciao
re: Valabar
Thanks for your advice, Valabar. I'm in a new kitchen with very different light now, but at the very least, I'm sure I should replace the fluorescent bulb with incandescent. Luckily the natural light in my dining room is much easier to deal with than the previous, so I wait until the food makes it onto the table for my final shots. It's quite an education reading what you see with your professional eye...
Ln, you are doing something right because your last set of photos of your spring rolls was beautiful! I think it's just about practice makes perfect. I've improved tons since I started blogging two monts ago:-)
I've read up on how-to threads and studied others photos. You can get a grasp on composition just by going on Tastespotting and Foodgawker:-)
Getting a lightbox helps too.
I still have a ton to learn, baby steps!
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
Yeah. I'll vouch for those spring roll pics. <drools...>
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
Thank you both! So very nice to hear. I am getting better, I think!
i take more photos of beer than food, most of which are uploaded to Flickr. i use an old Nikon at home, and a point & click on oinking trips. even at home there's no fancy set-up and i try to keep it as simple as possible.
looking forward to seeing (photos) and learning in this thread!
btw, there's also another food photo thread but it has died.
re: Pata_Negra
Jealous of your oinking trips a little, PN. :)
re: inaplasticcup
it never crossed my mind to make photos of food until *after* i returned from a trip to Peru and Bolivia in 2003, which had nothing to do with food.
re: Pata_Negra
Would love to see some of your photos, Pata :o) Yum, Oinking trips!
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
i've recently been to Chile and now started to sort out the photos.
pic 1 @Ancud, Chile: an enormous shellfish dish called 'curanto'. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curanto)
pic 2 @home: simple asparagus soup. fish is haddock loin.
re: Pata_Negra
Pata, your photos look beautiful! How were you able to get so much light on the first pic? Wasn't it taken at a restaurant?
Your 2nd one is so beautiful too! Nice composition and it looks so soft :o)
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
yes the first one was taken in a restaurant. this restaurant is extremely informal and the lighting is fluorescent.
re: Pata_Negra
Hard to believe that first photo is taken under fluorescent lamps. It looks like an outdoor shot. Very nice.
re: L.Nightshade
It really does. Nice observation, Nightshade.
re: Pata_Negra
I love the white tray effect, gorgeous...
re: escondido123
When you say you block the flash, do you mean it flashes, but you cover it with something? Your photos must be beautiful with the afternoon sun!
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
I just put my finger over the flash if it is a quick shot, or tape cardboard over it if I'm doing more. As you can see, the sun is quite bright--I would knock it back if printing--but I like the way it lets you see the grains of salt. I am sure there is a way to turn the flash off, but I haven't taken the time to read the manual. LOL
re: escondido123
I've heard of putting your finger or even a piece of kleenex over the flash...lol I see what you mean by the salt, it really pops out!
I'm like you, sometimes I just want to do things right away without reading a manual:o)
re: escondido123
I think it's neat how you've captured the time of day in that pic, escondido.
re: inaplasticcup
Thanks. I've been posting pics of produce sometimes to encourage people to go to the Farmers' Market. I've also taken some when I was there but can't seem to find them.
These are my progression of my photo skills...
I'm going to post all my photos here and hope the explanations make sense :o)
I started posting on FB first then started my blog just over 2 months ago.
Giant Roast Chicken..taken with point & shoot Leica on 11/18/09, no flash
I really thought this was good at the time..lol Now I look at it and think, omg, what
was I thinking!
Pasta...taken w/Leica again, no flash on kitchen counter w/kitchen lights. After I starting blogging, 4/21/11
I thought for sure that Tastespotting & Foodgawker would accept it...lol Now I see it
was too dark and the white balance is off
Sliced Steak...taken w/Nikon D300s w/Nikor 60 mm lens. This is the camera and lens I normally use now. Poor Leica feels neglected;o) This was taken late afternoon by a window, no flash. 4/25/11
My first photo that was accepted by both TS & FG! I found that they like very bright & light
photos w/white plates and Bokeh (gradual blurring)
Roast Chicken...Taken w/Nikon on kitchen counter on top of white paper w/lights shining on it on both sides, no flash 6/5/11
Accepted on FG, but rejected by Tastespotting for composition!
Pesto...Taken w/Nikon inside of a light box w/lights shining on it from both sides. 6/19/11
Both FG & TS accepted this one :o) Tastespotting really likes the props!
So, see, I learned a lot in a short time and I still have a lot to learn:o) I really don't have the time to use a ton of props like some people with all the different colored napkins and layered plates. I make the meal and then that's our dinner! Sometimes I do make 2 sets of food, one to shoot early (then that's my lunch the next day) and the other that we can eat hot. It depends on the food. Obviously, I'm not making 2 roast chickens!
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
That's awesome. I love how you took us through the progression. I can definitely see why 4 and 5 were selected for TS & FG.
I'm finding that flash is very rarely a good thing for food pics. What do you think?
re: inaplasticcup
I keep reading don't use flash, but I guess it has it's place. I was talking to a camera store guy that takes food photos as a living and he says he always uses flash...well strobe lights and stuff;o) Or do like escondido and cover the flash for a different affect and they also have those covers for them too. See, so much to learn...lol
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
As a rule, don't use the camera's flash. You do want to use a flash that attaches to the camera, that can be directed to bounce off surfaces. Strobes also.
re: monavano
Monavano, I guess using point and shoot and dslr makes a difference in what type of flash to use, right?
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
Point and shoots can do a very good job. As stated above, cover the flash with tissue if you must use a flash.
re: monavano
Most point and shoots these days have a feature that disables the flash if you like, luckily. Since I never use flash, it's a godsend. :)
re: monavano
Monavano, can you give me some pointers on my photos, up thread. Obviously not the first 3, I know my mistakes on those...
re: BombayUpWithaTwist
Use something to bounce the light to fill in shadow.
Use white light or adjust the color with a computer program.
The last photo with the noodles has great composition!
Does your camera have a macro mode? If so, use it for close ups.
re: monavano
Thanks Monavano :o) Are you a photographer?
