Gotham Chamber Opera Presents ELIOGABALO, 3/15-29
Gotham Chamber Opera continues its 2012-2013 Season with ELIOGABALO (1667) by Francesco Cavalli. The show will run from March 15-29, 2013 at 8pm at The Box, 189 Chrystie Street, NYC. Tickets are $30-$175 and are available on www.ticketcentral.com or by phone at 212-279-4200.
Opera is full of courtesans and lechers and in the 20th century, outright acts of perversion. (Salome, anyone?) But you have to go back almost 350 years for the work with the most depraved protagonist of all: Eliogabalo, by Francesco Cavalli. Based on the life of the Roman emperor Heliogabalus, who reigned from 218 to 222, the opera tells the story of a man who even today remains notorious for his sexual appetites, his appointment of an all-female senate, and his well-deserved assassination. Cavalli (1602-1676) died without ever seeing a performance of the opera, which was written for the Venice festival of 1668 but was withdrawn and replaced by another opera on the same subject. Ignored for centuries, Cavalli's opera finally received its world premiere in 1999 in Crema, Italy, the composer's birthplace.
This production of Eliogabalo will be staged by James Marvel and produced in cooperation with Randy Weiner (Sleep No More) in one of New York's most decadent nightspots: The Box, on the Lower East Side. Starring Christopher Ainslie as Eliogabalo, the cast will also include Micaëla Oeste, Susannah Biller, Maeve Höglund, Emily Righter, Daryl Freedman, Randall Scotting, John Easterlin, and Brandon Cedel. Music direction by Grant Herreid, associate music direction by Neal Goren, direction by James Marvel, assistant direction and choreography by Austin McCormick.
Gotham Chamber Opera is the nation's foremost opera company dedicated to producing rarely-performed chamber operas from the Baroque era to the present. The company's mission is to present innovative, fully-staged productions of the highest quality in intimate venues. Founded by conductor and Artistic Director Neal Goren in 2000, Gotham Chamber Opera has, in its short history, presented seven U.S. premieres of 18th- and 20th-century operas, including such masterpieces as Mozart's Il sogno di Scipione; Darius Milhaud's Les Malheurs d'Orphée; Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu's Dada opera Les Larmes du Couteau; and Swiss composer Heinrich Sutermeister's Die schwarze Spinne. In February 2005, Gotham presented the U.S. stage premiere of Handel's Arianna in Creta. Also in 2005, Lincoln Center Festival and Spoleto Festival USA presented Gotham Chamber Opera's U.S. premiere of Ottorino Respighi's fantastical puppet opera La bella dormente nel bosco, featuring the puppetry of Basil Twist. In the spring of 2006, Benjamin Britten's Albert Herring received its first professional staging in New York in more than 30 years, and in winter 2007, Rossini's Il signor Bruschino received its first major professional New York staging in more than half a century. In the 2007/2008 season, Gotham Chamber Opera celebrated dance with Astor Piazzolla's tango opera, María de Buenos Aires, directed by David Parsons and featuring Parsons Dance, and with a new work entitled Ariadne Unhinged, directed by Karole Armitage and featuring members of Armitage Gone! Dance. In 2009, Mark Morris directed the U.S. stage premiere of Haydn's L'isola disabitata. In 2010, Gotham made news world-wide for its high-tech production of Haydn's Il mondo della luna, staged in the Hayden Planetarium of the American Museum of Natural History, and for Montsalvatge's El gato con botas (Puss in Boots), at The New Victory Theater, staged by Tony Award-nominated director Moisés Kaufman, with puppet design by Blind Summit Theatre. For the 2011-2012 season, Gotham Chamber Opera celebrated its tenth anniversary with the world premiere of Dark Sisters by composer Nico Muhly, and a revival of Gotham's first production, Mozart's Il sogno di Scipione (1772).

Grant Herreid performs frequently on early reeds, brass, strings and voice with Piffaro, Hesperus, ARTEK, and My Lord Chamberlain's Consort, and appears frequently with the Newberry Consort, the Folger Consort, King's Noyse, Apollo's Fire, Brandywine Baroque, Sinfonia New York, and the New York Consort of Viols. A specialist in early opera, he has played theorbo, lute, and baroque guitar with the Chicago Opera Theater, Aspen Music Festival, Portland Opera, and New York City Opera, as well as the opera programs at Juilliard, Curtis, and Mannes. On the faculty at Yale University, Mr. Herreid directs their Collegium Musicum and, as Artistic Director of the Yale Baroque Opera Project (YBOP), he was music director for their recent productions of Cavalli's Giasone and Scipione Affricano, Sacrati's La Finta Pazza, and Monteverdi's Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria. Mr. Herreid directs the New York Continuo Collective, and is a stage director and music coach for the Accademia d'Amore baroque opera workshop in Seattle. He has created and directed several theatrical early music shows, and he devotes much of his time to exploring the esoteric unwritten traditions of early music with the ensemble Ex Umbris and the plucked-string group Ensemble Viscera.

Made by Gund, renowned makers of plush toys since 1898, this is the animated mother lamb that recites nursery rhymes while cradling her baby. Story time begins with a gentle squeeze of the lamb's cuddly front paw. While a soothing lullaby plays in the background, the huggable toy recounts five childhood classics, including Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, and Hickory Dickory Dock, spoken in an engaging, motherly voice. The lamb's animated mouth and swaying torso captivate children, while the traditional rhymes introduce young learners to word sounds and story structure, key precursors to literacy. Includes three AA batteries. Her soft polyester fabric coat can be surface cleaned. Ages newborn and up. 10" H x 10" W x 9" D. (14 oz.)

I wouldn't hesitate to give this to any child as it is so interesting. The mother holds her baby and talks so realistically. Even adults enjoyed it and were especially happy that an infant can interact easily with it.

Wonderful Story Time Companion
By Agoo
from Oakland, CA
The product should be introduced gradually to a toddler because it can be a little scary at first. Now she loves the lamb and the nursery rhymes. Unfortunately. when she presses the button now nothing happens because it is broken (after about 4 months). However since it has a lifetime guarantee it will be exchanged for a new one because she loves this toy. It is really soft and just the right size and is really cute. Think we will order a spare just in case. This is a really great companion for your baby.

Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan Policy
Interlibrary loan is the process by which a library requests materials from, or supplies materials to, another library. Through interlibrary loan, patrons can access materials from other libraries in Illinois and from other national and international OCLC participating libraries. The requested materials will be sent to the Melrose Park Library where the patron may check the item out (or use it in the library, as stipulated by the owning library).
The library affirms that interlibrary loan is an adjunct to, not a substitute for, the library's collection. The library will exhaust local resources first, including its own collection and those of libraries in RAILS, before requesting items from libraries out of the system. The Melrose Park Public Library endorses the Illinois State Library's ILLINET Interlibrary Loan Code.
Interlibrary Borrowing
This service is offered to all patrons holding a valid library card from any Illinois library or library system. Patrons' accounts must be in good standing to participate in interlibrary loan.
How To Submit a Request
Contact the Adult Services Department to initiate a request. Patrons may contact the Adult Services Department in person, by phone, by fax, or by e-mail (email@example.com). The adult services staff will need as much information as possible about the item to be requested, along with the patron's name, phone number, and library card number.
What Can Be Borrowed
The library will request materials which are not available in RAILS. All formats may be requested (e.g., books, audiovisual materials, periodicals, government documents, microfilm, photocopies etc.). Generally, the library will not request an item that is available in the Metropolitan Library System unless it is unavailable for use (e.g. the item is non-requestable, non-circulating, in repair, or extremely overdue).
There is a $3.00 charge to borrow materials from libraries not in SWAN. This fee is owed only if the library is able to obtain the item and is payable upon receipt. If the patron does not pick up items obtained from libraries outside of the SWAN libraries, a $3.00 fine will be charged to the patron's record.
Turnaround Time
Service will be provided as quickly as possible. The turnaround time varies depending upon the lending library and the status of the materials requested (e.g. on-order, checked out, etc.). Assuming the item is currently available, items requested within the state of Illinois generally take two to three weeks to arrive and items requested outside the state of Illinois generally take three to six weeks to arrive. Patrons will be notified by phone if the library is unable to obtain an item.
When material arrives, the requesting patron will receive an email if patron has email on file. The patron will have 7 days to pick up the material. For items obtained outside of RAILS. If the item is not picked up item will be sent back to the owning library. Patrons who do not pick up out-of-system interlibrary loan books will be assessed a fine.
Loan Period
The loan period and renewal options are determined by the owning library. Photocopies may be kept by the requestor. The library will strictly observe any conditions for use of loaned materials that are imposed by the owning library (e.g., short loan period, in library use only, no renewals). The interlibrary loan of an item will be limited to one request per patron for the same title every three months with as many renewal requests as the owning library allows.
Patron Responsibility
The patron is responsible for picking up the requested item. A failure to do so will result in a borrowing fee being charged to their record (for items obtained outside of RAILS). It is also the responsibility of the patron to return the item in a timely fashion. If an item is lost or damaged, the patron is responsible for all overdue fines, the cost of the item, and any processing fees charged by the owing library. When materials are lost or are returned late, the borrowing privileges of both the patron and the Melrose Park Library are jeopardized. Patrons who consistently abuse interlibrary loan borrowing privileges will find their interlibrary loan borrowing privileges suspended.
To renew an item obtained from outside the system, please contact the Adult Services Department at least three weekdays prior to the due date. The Interlibrary Loan staff will attempt to renew the item and notify the patron if the item may or may not be renewed. Renewals are at the sole discretion of the owning library and cannot be guaranteed.
Interlibrary Lending
The Melrose Park Library will loan materials to all libraries. If you are a patron of a SWAN library, you may request items from our collection through the SWAN catalog. All other individuals wishing to borrow an item from our collection must initiate their request through a library.
How To Submit a Request Illinois libraries may submit requests by mail (ALA form or equivalent required), fax, OCLC, or phone (confirming fax required). Libraries outside of Illinois may submit requests by fax (ALA form) or OCLC to the Metropolitan Library System. Please refer to the end of this document for mailing addresses, phone numbers, fax numbers and OCLC library symbols. Items requested by Illinois libraries will be sent via ILDS.
What Can Be Borrowed
The library endeavors to make available the broadest range of materials for interlibrary loan, with the following exceptions: reference materials and newspapers. The library also reserves the right to refuse to lend materials or to ask a borrowing library to restrict use of materials lent.
Loan Period
Items will be checked out for four weeks. This allows for two weeks transit time and for a two week check out to your patron. If an item is not on reserve for another patron, the item may be renewed. There is a limit of two renewals.
The Melrose Park Library does not charge for lending materials for Illinois libraries and LVIS libraries.
Lost Interlibrary Loan Materials
The Melrose Park Library will assess a fee on a lost item equal to the replacement cost of the item, plus a $5.00 processing fee. The borrowing library is responsible for the payment of this fee.
Up to 25 pages will be provided, within copyright limits. There are no charges for photocopies. Materials will be photocopied from either hard copy or microfilm.

ER Docs All Over the Map on Doling Out Opioids
Scientists trying to better understand the nation's rising opioid addictions have uncovered an interesting wrinkle: A patient's risk of getting hooked might depend on which ER doctor they happen to get. In a New England Journal of Medicine study, researchers found that patients whose ER doctors are more likely to prescribe opioids are more likely to develop an addiction compared to the patients of ER doctors who prescribe less frequently.
It may sound like an obvious chain of events, but it remains unclear why two patients given the same opioid prescription after similar complaints have different addiction risks depending on their ER doc. The takeaway is "not that high-intensity prescribers are necessarily irresponsible in prescribing opioids to certain patients," the lead author tells the New York Times. But "their patients have worse outcomes that we weren't aware of before."

How do you delicately respond to a senior co-worker's assumption that you'll be joining her for seder again this year?
Dear Miriam,
One of my more senior co-workers always hosts a seder and invites all the Jewish employees from my office. Last year, I was relatively new to town and grateful for the invitation. It turned out to be a fairly untraditional seder, the food wasn't kosher to the standard I prefer and I felt like I had to be "on" the whole time. This year, though I haven't been issued a formal invitation, my co-worker has made it clear that she assumes I'll be there. While waiting for (and dreading) the formal invitation, I got invited to a friend's house for seder. I know this would be a seder more in line with my own observance and I'm excited to go. Can I get out of going to my co-worker's house? What should I tell her?
Unwanted Seder Invites
Dear Invites,
Many people rightly feel like Passover is a time to open their homes to anyone who might not have a place to celebrate the seder. They may invite people who they're not close friends with if they imagine those guests might otherwise be without a seder. All who are hungry, let them come and eat: We may not always take those words so literally as to invite truly destitute people into our homes, but Jewish communities generally do a good job of making sure that seders are available to those who want them.
Your co-worker may be taking this approach to her Jewish staff. Last year, in fact, her invitation was spot-on based on the circumstances you described. This year, even though she hasn't issued a formal invitation, she may just want to make sure you know that you're welcome to attend and that you don't have to worry about where you'll spend seder. With the holiday a week away, it's actually a little late to be issuing formal invitations, so you're totally within the bounds of convention to have found another place to go.
You didn't indicate how you responded to her assumptions that you'd be attending her seder. Hopefully you were appropriately non-commital, and this will be a non-issue. You can wait for her to invite you for real and then say, "Thank you so much for including me again this year. I'll be spending seder with some friends from my synagogue (or whatever), but I so appreciate you thinking of me."
If you need to resolve this sooner for your own sanity, go to her and say, "I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you opening your home to me for Passover last year. I wasn't sure of your plans for this year when I got an invitation from some friends, so I'll be spending seder with them. I hope you and your family have a really wonderful holiday." You could even include a bottle of wine in this speech or some other gesture that feels appropriate for your office climate.
Alternatively, if it seems doable, you could find a way to work your seder plans into casual conversation. That way, you potentially save both of you from having to make excuses.
While she is your higher-up at work, it's also your holiday to celebrate however you choose. If you feel the need to be even more conciliatory, consider inviting her to your home for a Shabbat dinner sometime in the near future. That way, you establish a rapport and a reciprocity. It's also possible that when she sees the customs and vibe in your home, she'll understand that your Jewish practices don't line up. When it comes to really any invitations involving co-workers, as long as you are gracious and respectful, you've handled the situation appropriately.
Be well,

There's a new gang in town. And while some of its members have made the 'A' list, they're all on the 'bee' list.
The Levy County Beekeepers Association was formed last week in Chiefland. About a dozen local residents came to the club's first meeting where officers were appointed and membership dues, $20 per member, were collected.

It's tough to "aim" the After Effects SDK; it could be used for so many different things.
One could learn the rudiments of C or C++ based image processing, just fiddling around with the samples. One could learn about workflow automation just reading through the headers (AE_GeneralPlug.h would make most integration engineers' mouths water).
The SDK Guide could be a reference manual, a cookbook, a tutorial…
What do YOU hope to get out of the next After Effects SDK? Besides the XCode and .NET 2005 samples, I mean?

In this personal experience story, Daryl Kulak relates the day he spent behind bars. He was there to participate in a program that pairs prisoners with software developers "from the outside" to explore the art and science of agile software development. "It's like a code retreat," Kulak notes, "except it's inside a prison."
A few weeks ago, I joined a crew of developers who traveled to Marion, Ohio, to partake in the unique experience of pair programming in prison.
The main purpose of this pair programming exercise is to help prisoners learn the art and science of agile software development. The idea is that you take several qualified developers from the outside world, get them into the prison for a Saturday, work on some exercises together with the prisoners, and everybody learns. It's like a code retreat, except it's inside a prison.
The Marion Correctional Institution (MCI) is a medium-security prison just outside of Columbus, Ohio, and I was a bit nervous as I pulled up that morning. I don't think I was worried what the prisoners might do (pull a knife or whatever), but I was afraid I would do something wrong and the guards would kick me out. At the top of my mind was the intimidating list of DO NOT DOs that our organizer had posted on his blog, which I had read seven or eight times and was constantly running through in my head. Things like "Don't call guards 'guards.' They hate that. They are called correctional officers (CO)."
Let's talk about Dan for a second. Dan Wiebe is half agile developer, half mountain man. He has a salt-and-pepper beard about ten inches long and dark eyebrows that always look a bit wild. He is a great guy, but many a team room has been put on edge when Dan came in on a Monday morning and announced "I just got out of prison." He loves to play this game, but really what he's saying is that, on many weekends, he goes into prisons around the state and provides different types of support, including teaching prisoners how to develop software.
Which is how we came to this weekend. This was my first time, but everyone else—Dan and five other developers—had all been before. In fact, I had heard of these trips and even wrote a blogpost for one (using most of Dan's words), but I thought I had a pretty good reason for not going: I can't code.
Somehow, Dan convinced me this wasn't going to be a problem. Our exercises were going to be in Java, and I had done some Java development a while ago—umm, like eleven years ago. You see, I'm not a career developer. Dan calls me a "suit." I'm a manager, business analyst, client liaison—you name it, just not a developer. But I'm a sport! So, I signed up.
I was thirty minutes early, but Dan and one other volunteer were already in the parking lot. We walked in together into a small entry area. The rest of our crew arrived over the next twenty minutes. During that wait, I chatted with Dan and the others. I also tried to read the many, many warning signs posted in the lobby. You see, first, you have to be careful what you wear—metal belt buckles, shoes with steel toes, even underwire bra—because it might cause the metal detector to go off. But the other sign was even larger and more wordy. It explained to women about what they should not wear. To summarize: Don't dress sexy. Don't show cleavage or leg or even shoulders. Don't wear spandex or tight jeans. And, always wear underwear.
We did have two female developers in our group, but they had both been on this excursion before, so they were sure to dress appropriately. I was pretty sure I was safe on these counts (being a guy),
Sure enough, I set the metal detector off. "It's your belt," the CO said. I took it off, went through again, and I was OK. Luckily, I got the belt back. My pants don't stay up well without it.
Dan recognized the CO, who was to be our escort, behind the metal detector. We walked across a courtyard and into the main building. I remember the sun on my face and thinking that I wouldn't see it again for a while. (Wasn't true, by the way; there were windows and courtyards.) The CO at the next gate looked over our IDs and let us through a series of electric gateways. Our guide took us down a long hallway, and we were in with the general population.
Observation number one: no orange jumpsuits. I never did ask why. I came to realize that whatever clichéd views I had formed about prisons without actually being in one needed to fly out the window. In fact, it seemed like prisoners could wear whatever they wanted. A lot of guys wore blue shirts, but jeans, pants—everyone's clothes just seemed ... normal. People's behavior was pretty normal, too. Everyone had some place to go, no one was really "hanging out" in the hallways; everybody was walking. Even though our group had two women, there was not a single cat-call, whistle, or even a stare when we walked by. Dan told us that the prisoners were well trained never to bother guests.
User Comments
Actually, I like this slight divergence from the normal boudaries for the weekly column. I recently watched a documentary on solitary confinement and am glad to hear your experience of a different kind of prison - human interaction is really important and giving them the opportunity to work with folks on the outside is a nice benefit. I would also argue that coding is a very appropriate skill to be teaching prisoners, as I consider it one of the core "trades" of the new millenium. It certainly opens up a released prisoner's options from the usual manual labor, which pays less and less if you can find that kind of work. Also, Dan was very smart to include you because coming up with user stories is not something that comes naturally to a developer but really sets him/her apart from the other developers if he/she can do it well. One thing I have learned in my career, drifting from waterfall-dominated environments to way-out-on-the-edge agile shops, is that daring to understand the parts of agile development that are not strictly defined as development work builds better relationships in agile teams and results in better developers. This is not just true of developers, either; testers who sequeser themselves in only test-related work are limiting their career options as well. There has never been a better time to reach out, even if it feels a bit clumsy at first.

Wilson, North cruise to All-Star victory06/22/2011 12:51 AM ET
By Brandon Shields / Special to MLB.com
JACKSON, Tenn. -- Matt Moore's momentum came to a screeching halt in the bottom of the first inning of the Southern League All-Star Game.
Steffan Wilson chased Moore with a two-run double that capped a four-run rally and sent the North Division All-Stars on their way to a 6-3 victory over the South at Pringles Park.
Moore, MLB.com's preseason No. 27 prospect took the mound five days after pitching the first no-hitter in Montgomery Biscuits history. But he retired only two batters and was charged with four runs on three hits and a walk.
"It was great to start and pitch against the best hitters this league has from the North Division," Moore said. "Now we're getting ready for the second half to start. We finished the first half well with a lot of energy and now it's up to us to pick up where we left off and try to keep it up."
Minor League home run leader Paul Goldschmidt of the Mobile BayBears had staked Moore and the South to an almost instant lead with a two-run blast in the top of the first.
But Jake Shafferdrew a leadoff walk in the bottom of the inning and moved up on a groundout by Jackson Generals teammate Kyle Seager. Matt Spencer of the Tennessee Smokies singled to put runners on the corners and Scott Van Slyke of the Chattanooga Lookouts blopped a single to right to halve the North's deficit. Spencer stole second, then scored after Van Slyke swiped second and Birmingham Barons second baseman Tyler Kuhn dropped the throw. Moore hit Tennessee's Steve Clevenger and Wilson followed with a double to right field to put the North ahead for good, 4-2.
Luke Montz of the Jacksonville Suns, who won Monday's Home Run Derby, singled home a run in the third to get the South within 4-3, but Jackson's Wily Peralta stranded two runners in scoring position by striking out Montgomery's Daniel Mayora.
That set the tone as nine more North Division relievers combined on six shutout innings. Jackson's Andrew Carraway, the league leader with a 2.41 ERA, fanned one in a perfect fourth for the win.
The North got some breathing room in the sixth as Tennessee's Blake Lalli ripped an RBI double and scored on a throwing error to cap the scoring.
Van Slyke received the Top Star Award after going 2-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and two runs scored.
"There's a lot of talent in this league with a lot of guys that will be in the big leagues in the near future," said North manager Jim Pankovits of the Generals. "A lot of that talent showed tonight with some of the performances we saw out there."
Wilson produced one of those performances by collecting three hits, including the key blow in the first.
BayBears outfielder A.J. Pollock went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored for the South.
Pankovits employed every player on his roster, giving each the taste of playing in an All-Star Game.
"It's about having fun and taking pride in being named to an honor like this," Pankovits said. "This is the future of baseball and there were plenty of scouts out there watching what we have coming up in this sport.
"Judging from what I saw out there tonight and what I've seen while coaching in this league for the last couple of months, we've got some good players moving up through these organizations. I enjoyed having some of these young guys in my dugout instead of in the other dugout for a change."

FAQ: Camera & Photography9:00 AM
I get asked a lot of questions about wedding photography and what camera I use so I thought I'd make a post on the most frequently asked questions. (Scattered throughout the post is just a random sampling of my favorite pictures that I've taken)
Please keep in mind that these are all just my opinions and experiences and to do all your research before buying a camera or lenses or starting your business.
What camera and lenses do you use?
This is an update to my last FAQ as we've upgraded our cameras. Both my husband and I now use Canon 5D Mark II's (we both have our own) and we have our Canon 40D's as our second cameras. For everyday pictures I use the 50mm 1.2L lens. For weddings I also use the 24mm 1.4L lens and J uses the 85mm II 1.2L , the 35mm 1.4L lens and sometimes the the 70-200mm lens as well. If I were to only use two lenses I would pick the 50 1.2L and the 35 1.4L. Both are the perfect length and are great for low light situations which you will find a lot in weddings. J and I like to use as much natural light as possible. We only uses flashes when absolutely necessary.
I am a prime lens girl, (meaning that the lens does not zoom, the only way to get up close or far away is to physically move yourself.) I do not like zoom lenses and plan on only using prime lenses as much as I can. This is totally a personal choice and you must try it out with both to determine what you like better. My best advice before buying lenses is to rent them and shoot with them as much as you can. I rent from our local camera store, Glazers and we've also rented lenses from LensProToGo.com, which you can rent for weeks at a time and it's cheaper than the daily rate at Glazers.
What kind of camera bag do you use or how do you carry your camera around?
I bought a Coach bag (looks similar to this one but bigger) that slings across my body and can carry one camera + lens, flash and the pockets carry extra batteries, business cards, extra CF Card. When I am actually shooting, I carry both cameras on me and on one of my cameras I use the RS-4 R-Strap which really helps as you can slide the camera up and down the strap and the two camera straps don't get twisted. It's hard to explain but trust me, if you use two cameras, I highly recommend using the R-Strap.
Where did you take or recommend taking photography classes?
Both J and I are self taught. We've never taken a photography class, we've both learned by going out with our cameras and taking pictures of everything and anything including each other! Since I don't have experience in taking classes I can't recommend anything but I'd suggest talking with other photographers in your area to find out.
My husband and I are a team and neither one of us is a "second shooter" we both shoot equally as much and neither of us are assistants in any way. If you look on our blog, all of our posts are a mixture of mine and his pictures but they work so well together that you can't tell who took what picture. Our styles just mesh really well together. We do find that he is better at some shots while I'm better at other shots. That's what makes us a good team and I love more than anything in the world to be shooting alongside my husband. I wouldn't have it any other way.
You'd be surprised how many times I've been asked this question. As a photographer, I kind of chuckle at it, but I understand that if one wasn't a photographer, there just are too many buttons on a dSLR not to wonder what one to use. One thing you have to know is that there is not one magical setting or button that will help you take pretty pictures. YOU are that magical button. I shoot on manual all of the time and that's the only way that I recommend. However, if you are first learning, I say use the Av setting and don't just take pictures on that setting, learn from using that setting. (If you don't know what the Av setting is, go find your camera's manual and read it, it will explain it in there.) You can see how the shutter speed changes when you change the aperture, so you can start making the connections of how you would manually control it.
Do you have any photography tips you can tell me?
Photography is a very personal thing so the only way to learn how to take pictures is to go out there and just do it. We bought our dSLRs with very little experience, only the love of photography. We didn't take any classes, we didn't have friends that helped us, what we did was go out almost every single day and shoot with our cameras. It didn't matter what we were taking pictures of, it was just that we were learning to "make" pictures. Go out at different times of the day and put your camera on manual and just start shooting away. Find details in your neighborhood that you never noticed and take pictures of them. Find out what to do when the sun is low, when the sun is high. Shoot at different angles. Find different ways to shoot one subject. My husband and I practiced taking pictures of each other a lot too. We don't do it much now which I kind of miss. I love those early pictures of learning and the pictures that we took of each other. Taking pictures of people is a lot harder than most people think so any chance you have at taking pictures of people and not just inanimate objects, do it. It's the only way you'll learn. Try practicing on two people or even three people at once. The more people there is, the more complicated it is to shoot. Practice, practice, practice. Go out there and see what you like, read photography blogs, look at images in magazines, find inspiration anywhere and everywhere.
Tips for photographing people: First of all, understand that you can't just put people in front of a camera and expect fantastic pictures. The biggest thing that helps create those pictures is to connect with your subjects and help them feel happy and relaxed in front of the camera. A few years ago, J and I had a session with a photographer who pretty much did nothing expect to tell us to "act natural" which really just made us even more uncomfortable because when you have a camera in your face, how does one "act natural"? We spend time with all of our clients before their session to get to know them and then throughout the session we chat with them and get them to laugh and relax in front of the camera. Also, know how to pose people. When you are the photographer, everyone will look at you and say "Where do I look?" "Where do I put my hands?" "What should I do with my feet?" J and I like to tell our clients that we pose without it looking like it was posed. We tell them where to look, when to kiss, how to sit but the way that they react after they are posed, their head turn, their smile, their laugh, the look in the couples eyes when they look at each other is what we try to capture. All that is just them being them but they feel less awkward because they were given some direction on what to do. Don't be afraid of being bossy! Your clients want the best pictures possible so if you think the picture will look better if the hand is up on their partner's shoulder than on the waist than tell them. They are trusting you to get the best shots so don't be afraid to say something to get your best shot!
How did you start your wedding photography? How did you find clients? Did you do a lot of free weddings?
When we first started we offered free sessions so that we could learn how to shoot couples. I think every new photographer should do this. You might think you know how to work your camera until you get two subjects in front of you who are looking for your direction in front of the camera and then that's a whole different story (see tips above). We actually did two free engagement sessions with people we didn't know, two sessions with friends and since then we've been charging. We have never shot a wedding for free. This blog has been the biggest network in us finding clients. The majority of J and my friends are married so we didn't have the friend network to go through so I've just been doing self promoting through this blog, twitter , facebook and just generally telling everyone we know that we are photographers. I recently had to go see my doctor and told her about our business and it turned out she was interested and took our card. You just never know who will need a photographer! We've also been lucky enough to meet some really wonderful people and hope that we can continue expanding our network. It hasn't been easy, but I'm also pretty business minded and enjoy that part of growing our business. We still have a long way to go and am still struggling to find new clients but I always remember to take it one day at a time. We have short term goals for our business as well as long term goals and we've been doing our best to keep to them.
If you want some good advice, I really really like this list from PhotoDino. Especially this:
"Never compare your journey with someone else's. It's a marathon with no finish line. Someone else may start out faster than you, may seem to progress more quickly than you, but every runner has his own pace. Your journey is your journey, not a competition. You will never "arrive". No one ever does."
Read the list and keep that in mind if you are diving into the world of photography.
P.S. If you liked this post, feel free to visit our website, fan us on facebook and tell your friends about us! :) We love to travel so will go anywhere for our photography!

Great post! Thanks for the fab advice. Your shots are BEAUTIFUL!!!ReplyDelete
WOW! those pictures are amazing!ReplyDelete
LOVE the advice and best of luck as always!ReplyDelete
This has been very helpful! Thanks :)ReplyDelete
Do you know cheaper, but also very good lens for Canon cameras?ReplyDelete
What do you think about canon 60d model? Did you use this camera?
Hi Monika - I suggest the 50mm 1.4 Lens. It's a great lens for portraits and just overall a good lens to have. I've never used the 60D but I have the 40D which is the older model and I love it so I assume the 60D would be even better!ReplyDelete
thanks for your reply :) happy holiday ! :)ReplyDelete
Hi Tiffany, I love your blog even more because not only you and your sister are so creative but you also love photography!!!! I am also self taught and just starting out. Thank you for this post! I truly enjoyed reading it.ReplyDelete

(Created page with "{{Getlist2|database::+|works-with::database}}")
|Line 1:
|Line 1:
Latest revision as of 00:03, 6 July 2011
Broaden your selection:
Database (263)
- 123sqlengine
- 123sqlengine is a functional relational database engine still under development but featuring fully original database engine design
- 4store
- 4store is a database storage and query engine that holds RDF data. 4store's main strengths are its performance, scalability and stability. It does not provide many features over and above RDF storage and SPARQL queries, but if your are looking for a scalable, secure, fast and efficient RDF store, then 4store should be on your shortlist.
- Database load balancing class for PHP applications who need to deal with various MySQL servers. The class will properly detect write queries and will try the next available server(s) until running out of connections. Multi server connection handling in progress in order to allow running transactions in many servers at the same time.
- ADOdb
- ADOdb is a database abstraction library for PHP. The PHP version currently supports an amazing number of databases, thanks to the wonderful ADOdb community: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase, Firebird, Informix, Oracle, MS SQL, Foxpro, Access, ADO, Sybase, FrontBase, DB2, SAP DB, SQLite, Netezza, LDAP, and generic ODBC, ODBTP. The Sybase, Informix, FrontBase and PostgreSQL, Netezza, LDAP, ODBTP drivers are community contributions. Some reasons why ADOdb is popular include:
- Designed for speed. It is probably the fastest free software database abstraction library available for PHP. See benchmarks.
- Provides extensive portability support such as date and type-handling and portable schema creation. See portable sql tips
- Support many enterprise features such as database backed sessions (with session expiry notification), SQL code generation, pivot tables, SELECT LIMIT emulation for all databases, performance monitoring.
- Easy to learn.
- Extensive QA, every release is unit-tested on Access, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Oracle 9.
- Mature, continuously developed since August 2000. Has a large community of users.
- Powerful Active Record support. See docs.
- Very reasonable licensing terms (BSD). This means that you can incorporate (and even compile) it into your software applications royalty-free without asking the author's permission, provided you include license.txt in your release.
- ADOdb Lite
- A small, fast replacement for ADODB that uses 1/6th of the memory and upto 300% faster while being compatible with ADODB using a subset of the most often used ADODB commands.. Supports Frontbase, MaxDB, MiniSql, MSSQL, MySql, Postgres, SqLite and Sybase.
- ADOdb for Python
- ADOdb is a database abstraction library. ADOdb was originally developed for PHP, and ported to Python. The Python version implements a subset of the PHP version. You might ask why Python needs a database abstraction library when Python provides the official DB API. Unfortunately the DB API does not encapsulate differences in the database implementations. For example, to select a limited number of rows, say 10 rows, you would have to use very different SQL for different databases:
- MS SQL select top 10 from table
- MySQL and PostgreSQL select * from table limit 10
- Oracle select * from (select * from table) where rownum <= 10
- These differences are handled by ADOdb (using SelectLimit), but not by the Python DB API. Other important database differences transparently handled by ADOdb include date-formating, associative arrays (records as dictionaries) and LOB-handling.
- AOLserver
- AOLserver is a multithreaded, TCL-enabled, massively scalable and extensible Web server designed for large scale, dynamic Web sites such as Digital City and AOL.COM. It includes complete database integration, dynamic page scripting, and an open, extensible architecture.
- APAz
- aPAz is An ultra-light PHP AnonymiZer. It is intended to be a "Put it anywhere, browse everywhere application". You can use it on any Web server that uses PHP and allows socket functions.
- AWStats
- Advanced Web Statistics is a free tool that generates advanced web server access statistics graphically. This web server log analyzer works as a CGI or from command line and shows you all information your log contains, in few graphical web pages. It can analyze IIS 5.0+, Apache log files and some other web servers (log files with a personalized format are supported since version 3.0). It's the best statistics tool for web server with less than 200,000 visits a month. The program can measure visits, unique vistors, pages, domains/countries, OS busiest times, robot visits, search engine/keyword used, and HTTP errors. Statistics can be updated from a browser or your scheduler. The program also supports virtual servers.
- Apache CouchDB
- Apache CouchDB is a distributed, fault-tolerant and schema-free document-oriented database accessible via a RESTful HTTP/JSON API. Among other features, it provides robust, incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and resolution, and is queryable and indexable using a table-oriented view engine with JavaScript acting as the default view definition language. CouchDB is written in Erlang, but can be easily accessed from any environment that provides means to make HTTP requests. There are a multitude of third-party client libraries that make this even easier for a variety of programming languages and environments.

Madonna & Lady Gaga top 'Forbes' Highest-Paid Musicians list
Listen to Madonna on iHeartRadio | Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Madonna has been named the year's highest-paid musician by "Forbes."
The magazine's new list says the Queen of Pop made $125 million between June 2012 and May 2013 - more than any other musician in the world. The income is credited to the final dates of her massive "MDNA" tour, as well as merchandise sales and other fashion ventures.
The runner-up this year is Lady Gaga who raked up $80 million dollars in earnings. Mother Monster managed to earn a spot on the list despite a canceled tour and the fact that her promotion for ARTPOP didn't start until August.
Bon Jovi, Toby Keith and Coldplay round out the top five. Coming in at number six is 19-year-old Justin Bieber, with $58 million this year, followed by Taylor Swift with $55 million from her "Red" tour.
Beyonce, Calvin Harris, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna and One Direction all made the top 20 as well.

What versions of gpsd have you tried using?
I was a happy browser of your forums and generally have found very comprehensive and professional information on any issue that I had with BackTrack 2 up until now and so I have decided to register because I have encountered a problem that is pretty specific to my setup. And I have googled a LOT and have not found a single thread that was related to my problem.
Specifically I have a GPS device Haicom Hi-204 III which I have problems with being recognized by kismet. I am using BackTrack 2. First of all I hook up my GPS device, get a
going... and see that my usb converter device is recognizedCode:dmesg
next I give it a
I see data being read so then I start gpsd withCode:cat /dev/tts/USB0
,since my device has a USB converter. Then I give it another test with Telnet:Code:gpsd /dev/tts/USB0
, then I type "r" and again, I see that the device sends information.Code:telnet localhost 2947
At this point I should be finished configuring/checking the GPS device so I fire up kismet with the autoconfig utility. And I have checked that autoconfig has configured the necessary parameters namely the gps=true and port 2947 on localhost correctly.
I also made sure that my device has locked my position before starting kismet (the device was blinking), however the bar where the GPS coordinates are displayed in kismet is present, but it shows nothing. That means EVERY value (Lon,Lat..etc) is 000.0.Code:start-kismet-ng
I have tried GPSdrive and it worked.
I have also tried Xgps and it kinda worked...By this I mean values were flickering between N/A and some wrong coordinates. Also I didn't see any map or visualization on the xgps program, the area just stayed blank.
I have tested the device under windows (Autoroute and it has also worked perfectly).
As mentioned before I am through some extensive research and the closest someone got to my problem is described in this thread:however I don't know if our problems have the same origin, as said before thats the closest I got.Code:go to google and type in "kismet GPS issues" ... the first entry should be it
I would really appreciate any help you guys can give me. I have come a long way and cut through the thick lumbers of the "Linux-forest" of commands and errors and I do not want it to end here... I am way too close for that
Thank you
What versions of gpsd have you tried using?
Μολὼν λαβέ - Great spirits encounter heavy opposition from mediocre minds.
I hate bringing up older posts, but at least it's from this year. gpsd version 2.33 has issues with kismet, or actually it's the other way around. You need version 2.10.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
I still use Dutch's gpsdold even on BT3b.
Μολὼν λαβέ - Great spirits encounter heavy opposition from mediocre minds.
I have been using gpsd 2.37dev in BT3 beta with out issues but in BT3 Final gpsd 2.37 does not seem to work. I do dmest, cat /dev/tts/USB0, lsusb ect all show the device is there and seems to be working. But when run gpsd with the same options as I did on my other system I get nothing. In kismet it show the UBS is active but with no signal. Any idea's?
I think theprez98 has the gpsdold files here on the board somewhere. I've never had issues with that version. From what I remember the newer versions do weird things to the output that kismet doesn't like.

I picked up an earlier version of gspd but have not installed it yet. But I tried a few other things. I tried using a different computer with the same gps (pharos gps-500) with no luck. Then I also ran
per the gpsd install instructions. I did not get any out put. I know this gps is good as I have been using it with BT3 beta for ~7 months on a different computer. So on the new laptop I load up BT3 beta in Vmware and run the above command with sucess. So my issue is not with gpsd but some difference between BT3 beta and final. As I said BT3 final is seeing it, just when I go to pull data either via gpsd or stty I get nothing, its almost like the process hangs. To get gpsd to die I have to kill -kill it. Any ideas.Code:stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 ispeed 4800 && cat </dev/ttyUSB

Some call it the modern Woodstock of our electronically-entranced generation; we saw it as a weekend to ditch your current day job and personal worries in exchange for wearing the brightest and most ridiculous clothes you could find and dancing with the hundreds of thousands of strangers from across the nation.
For the Electric Forest Festival, people from all walks of life gather from all regions across North America (Canada included) to the tiny (435-person) town of Rothbury, Michigan. There, they come together for weekend to become whoever they may want to be and to enjoy the constant and wide-range of music from a variety of timeless and new artists alike. By day, the temporary inhabitants of this festival would lounge in hammocks, ride the Ferris wheel or watch the bluegrass shows from underneath the shade of the towering trees. It's not until 10 PM, when the sun sets, that the forest becomes illuminated by the thousands of electrified colors, sounds and people. Then, the going gets weird, and in the depths of the Sherwood forest you'll experience things entirely anew: a trading post with time-traveling cowboys from the 1800s, a silent disco of live performances that can only be heard with headphones and large neon lights that give the trees life during these witching hours of Festival.
Electric Forest Festival is metamorphic experience because for just one weekend, nothing is as it seems and weird is totally the state of norm. Our Osprey crew who attended Electric enjoyed the diverse crowds, the incredible installations of the forest and the memorizing performances by the artists. We appreciate anyone who stopped by our booth to say hello, buy a pack or grab a free coozie. We hope to see you there next year! In the meantime, here are a few of our favorite snapshots from the weird weekend of Electric Forest.

Make sure you post in the correct section of the forum.
If i run getgui.rb, and a computer is behind a router with no ports forwarded, i cannot get a gui! can anyone tell me a way around, OR is there a script to get a vnc after exploitation? i dont want to change my payload because i like meterpreter a lot. thanks for the help!
Make sure you post in the correct section of the forum.
To be successful here you should read all of the following.
If you are new to Back|Track
Back|Track Wiki
Failure to do so will probably get your threads deleted or worse.
Why do you need a Gui? There is hardly anything "louder" than running a VNC session.
Tiocfaidh ár lá
okay, i realize it is very loud, but lets say i were to use any "bind_tcp" payload, it has the same problem, the ports aren't forwarded through the router, so i cannot connect to a listening computer.
that is one problem, and the other is, if my computer isnt listening for a reverse_tcp payload to connect back, how can i make the payload refresh it's attempt to connect to me?
yes i know this, i was wondering if there was a way to make the program re-run after a certain ammount of time, so it can reconnect to me in case i wasnt listening
i guess i should have made this thread more general, no bind_tcp payloads will get to you if the port is not forwarded through a router.
The meterpreter .dll is not designed to stay on the host so the answer is no. You could modify a existing backdoor of some sort to spawn a connection at a pre determined time.

Our America: The Latino Presence in American Art presents the rich and varied contributions of Latino artists in the United States since the mid-twentieth century, when the concept of a collective Latino identity began to emerge. The exhibition is drawn entirely from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's pioneering collection of Latino art. It explores how Latino artists shaped the artistic movements of their day and recalibrated key themes in American art and culture.
The exhibition presents works in all media by 72 leading modern and contemporary artists. Of the 92 artworks featured in the exhibition, 63 have been acquired by the museum since 2011, representing its deep and continuing commitment to collecting Latino art. Our America includes works by artists who participated in all the various artistic styles and movements, including abstract expressionism; activist, conceptual, and performance art; and classic American genres such as landscape, portraiture, and scenes of everyday life. Latino artists across the United States were galvanized by the civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s. They created new images of their communities and examined bicultural experiences. Many critically probed American history and popular culture, revealing the possibilities and tensions of expansionism, migration, and settlement. Other Latino artists in the exhibition devoted themselves to experimentation, pushing the limits of their chosen medium. "Our America" presents a picture of an evolving national culture that challenges expectations of what is meant by "American" and "Latino."
Artists featured in the exhibition reflect the rich diversity of Latino communities in the United States. Our America showcases artists of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican descent, as well as other Latin American groups with deep roots in the United States. By presenting works by artists of different generations and regions, the exhibition reveals recurring themes among artists working across the country.
The 72 artists featured in the exhibition are ADÁL, Manuel Acevedo, Elia Alba, Olga Albizu, Carlos Almaraz, Jesse Amado, Asco (Harry Gamboa Jr., Gronk, Willie Herrón and Patssi Valdez), Luis Cruz Azaceta, Myrna Báez, Guillermo Bejarano, Charles "Chaz" Bojórquez, María Brito, Margarita Cabrera, María Magdalena Campos-Pons, Melesio "Mel" Casas, Leonard Castellanos, Oscar R. Castillo, José Cervantes, Enrique Chagoya, Roberto Chavez, Carlos A. Cortéz, Marcos Dimas, Ricardo Favela, Christina Fernandez, Teresita Fernández, iliana emilia garcía, Rupert García, Scherezade García, Carmen Lomas Garza, Ignacio Gomez, Ken Gonzales-Day, Hector González, Luis C. "Louie the Foot" González, Muriel Hasbun, Ester Hernandez, Judithe Hernández, Carmen Herrera, Carlos Irizarry, Luis Jiménez, Miguel Luciano, Emanuel Martinez, María Martínez-Cañas, Antonio Martorell, Ana Mendieta, Amalia Mesa-Bains, Franco Mondini-Ruiz, Delilah Montoya, Malaquias Montoya, Abelardo Morell, Jesús Moroles, Raphael Montañez Ortiz, Pepón Osorio, Amado M. Peña Jr., Chuck Ramirez, Paul Henry Ramirez, Sophie Rivera, Arturo Rodríguez, Freddy Rodríguez, Joseph Rodríguez, Frank Romero, Emilio Sánchez, Juan Sánchez, Jorge Soto Sánchez, Rafael Soriano, Ruben Trejo, Jesse Treviño, John M. Valadez, Alberto Valdés, and Xavier Viramontes.
The exhibition is organized by E. Carmen Ramos, curator of Latino art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Connecting Online
The museum created a bilingual mobile website that includes commentaries about artworks in the exhibition and images of all the featured artworks. An audio podcast series features commentaries by curators and artists about artworks in the exhibition. Video shorts with the exhibition curator are available on YouTube. Photographs documenting the installation of the exhibition are on Flickr.

Hello everyone,!!
This is for all the no0bies out there reading and watching this. I'm giving all of the remote-exploit.org's no0bies a video on how to crack basic WEP..-=Xploitz=- STYLE!!"
Now in this video, what sets it apart from other videos, is the fact that I type in an explanation of EVERY command and why. This is NOT a video to show off how fast I can crack WEP. I explain all the steps, to make it easier for the average no0bie to learn...step by step. I hope you all enjoy it and learn something from it. Also, its nice and LEGIBLE unlike a lot of videos floating out there. So I hope you at least appreciate that one. Also..I captured this video with XVidCap and even though I typed slow..it looks like its really fast..so you may need to pause to focus on what I'm doing. Sorry!!
You'll notice that I left out the option -e "Xploitz Network" in the command
its was unnecessary for me to type in the -e ESSID argument because of either the version of aircrack-ng or either the version of the madwifi driver...not sure which it is...but YOU MAY HAVE TO ADD THE -e <ESSID> in yours. If you do,...the command will look similar to....Code:aireplay-ng -1 0 -a 00:18:F8:B5:F2:D6 -h 00:11:22:33:44:55 ath0
BTW...download this version of aircrack..its ALWAYS the newest version.Code:aireplay-ng -1 0 -e Xploitz -a 00:18:F8:B5:F2:D6 -h 00:11:22:33:44:55 ath0
Aircracks developmental version.
And if you use Firefox..please allow pop-ups to view this video. Again....I hope all my fans enjoy my video tutorial.Code:svn co http://trac.aircrack-ng.org/svn/branch/1.0-dev/ aircrack-ng cd aircrack-ng gmake SQLITE=true gmake SQLITE=true install
Happy learning!!
Now...without further delay,.....heres the link.
To view online with full screen>>>>
What do y'all think?? E-Z enough????
And will you guys who view my video do me a favor please if ya don't mind? If you watched this video and liked it..please take a moment to post your likes / dislikes of it. Depending on how helpful it is to others will determine if I keep these and other more advanced videos coming or not. Thanks!!
