The following letter was sent to our preceptors on Friday, December 23, regarding the upcoming PharmD program, and plans to implement a program for current pharmacists to obtain a PharmD degree.
Dear Colleagues,
As you may be aware, in September 2017, the University of Saskatchewan will implement the new Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) curriculum. While an entry to practice PharmD degree is not required to practice pharmacy, the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition is committed to offering past pharmacy graduates the same educational opportunities as provided to future students. A program for those pharmacists interested in upgrading to the Doctor of Pharmacy degree will be developed after the new program is implemented.
While the College of Pharmacy and Nutrition cannot provide details regarding the aforementioned program's curriculum or implementation date, the College whished to communicate our commitment to past graduates, and provide assurances that the College is committed to facilitating educational opportunities to ensure past graduates have an opportunity to obtain a PharmD degree should they wish to do so.
The implementation of the PharmD is timely, as the Canadian Council for Accreditation of Pharmacy Programs recently announced that in the future it will no longer accredit Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy (BSP) programs. Therefore the University of Saskatchewan has been proactive in developing the new PharmD curriculum to address the new CCAPP requirements, thus ensuring that graduates may continue to directly apply for the Qualifying Examination of The Pharmacy Examining Board of Canada for licensure, and ensuring that our profession continues to thrive.
Please access the http://words.usask.ca/pharmd blog for up to date information on the University of Saskatchewan PharmD program.
Kind Regards,
Kishor Wasan, Ph.D.
Professor and Dean

Letters of Intent
Projected 2015 Rosters #1: Lansing Lugnuts Pitchers
By Jay Blue
Blue Jays From Away
This post is the first part of an eight-part series that will be my attempt to predict the Opening Day rosters for the Blue Jays' four full-season minor league teams which start their seasons on April 9.
This exercise is actually pretty tricky when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it. Trying to predict which players get assigned to which team is a challenge because we're doing this over a month before the season opens, right about the time that minor league spring training opens. A great performance or a poor performance can move a player up and down while we can't see the refinement or improvement of skills to make the kinds of judgements as to whether the organization deems a player to be ready for a particular level.
This is all an educated guessing game and I'll probably get a few right, a few wrong and there's always one or two roster decisions that completely surprise me. The Lugnuts' first official game is April 10 against the Lake County Captains but they play their Crosstown Showdown on April 9 against the Michigan State Spartans.
I highly recommend reading Lansing Lugnuts' announcer and media director Jesse Goldberg-Strassler's thoughts on where the 2014 Lugnuts will wind up. It made for interesting reading and Jesse has shared with me his thoughts about the 2015 roster which I certainly took into consideration when putting together my list.
I'm going to be a little wishy-washy and put the players into two categories: those who I'm pretty sure will be in Lansing this year and those who I think are on the bubble and could open the season elsewhere.
Starting Pitchers
Ryan Borucki
Jairo Labourt
Chase Mallard
Evan Smith
Matt Smoral
Starlyn Suriel
Alberto Tirado
Jesus Tinoco
Yes, there are a lot of pitchers there and there is a possibility that there could be some piggy-backing going on. Of this group, I think the no-brainers are Borucki, Labourt, Smoral and Tirado. Borucki and Smoral spent time in both Bluefield and Vancouver and both have had two seasons of short season ball under their belt. Looking back, the Jays like to get their higher upside prospects into full-season ball in their third year in the pros.
Tirado and Labourt are also pretty much no-brainers. Both struggled in Lansing last year and found more success when sent down to Vancouver so it's pretty easy to think that both of them will be able to take their lessons back to Lansing in 2015.
Evan Smith has also had two pro seasons under his belt and was very successful in the GCL before having a solid year in Bluefield. He doesn't turn 20 until August and could conceivably be held back in extended spring training.
Mallard is kind of a bubble guy. He's a four-year college pitcher who is 23 and having him around will give a young staff some stability. That said, if there's any Lugnut who can pull a Kendall Graveman and get all the way to the big leagues in his second professional season, it's Mallard. He could start in Dunedin but I doubt it.
Suriel had a roller coaster of a first professional year and would give the Lugnuts' rotation another arm who has pitched at the level before (42 innings in 2014) and has had some success. He could also start the year in Dunedin if the roster is getting too crowded.
Tinoco was in his third season in North America last year (after joining the GCL Blue Jays from the Dominican Republic in 2012) and his 95 mph heater will look good in Lansing. That said, he won't be 20 until after the season starts and could stay in extended spring training for one more year.
Other starters
Shane Dawson
Grayson Huffman
Tom Robson (right)
Justin Shafer
Both of these Canadian pitchers struggled with injuries in 2014 and both could be back in Lansing at some point in 2014. Robson is recovering from Tommy John surgery and probably won't be back on the mound until June while Dawson has had his own issues, only pitching 56 innings in Lansing before being shut down in mid-July. Dawson is only 21 and could easily be back in Lansing if he's not pitching for Dunedin. Another option, if the Blue Jays think he's fragile, is that he'll have a bullpen role somewhere, probably Dunedin.
I think Huffman and Shafer will be on the outside looking in this year. Both were drafted in 2014 (Huffman in the 6th round and Shafer in the 8th) and Shafer had some struggles in Vancouver. Shafer is older at 22 but he also has less mileage on his arm, only becoming a full-time pitcher since turning pro. Huffman was outstanding last year but it was mostly in the GCL and it's rare to see the Blue Jays promote a pitcher to Lansing after only 11 innings in Bluefield. (Alonzo Gonzalez coming to Lansing in 2013 is the only recent example I can think of and he needed to go back to Vancouver halfway through that season before having a much better year in 2014 back in Lansing).
Relief Pitchers
Adonys Cardona
Andrew Case
Yeyfry Del Rosario
Jose Fernandez
Michael Kraft
Jordan Romano
Chase Wellbrock
The first name on this list, Adonys Cardona, is a big question mark to see how he's going to be able to come back after breaking his elbow and having a screw inserted surgically to keep the whole thing together. Cardona has shown signs of being able to pitch effectively after struggling with control but the injury derailed hopes of having a full season to figure things out. Does he come back this year to pitch well or does he need more time?
For me, several of these pitchers are no brainers. Del Rosario and Wellbrock both had stints with the Lugnuts while Kraft, a lefty, was almost unhittable in 30 1/3 innings between Bluefield and Vancouver (11 hits in 30 1/3 innings).
Andrew Case was excellent in Vancouver last year and will give the Lugnuts some Canadian content and Romano spent most of his draft year in Bluefield dominating. Romano, a Markham, Ontario native, will be 22 on April 21 and will make a nice complement to the Lansing bullpen.
Fernandez had a solid season in Vancouver and is already 22. He'd provide the Lugnuts with another lefty in the bullpen.
The Crosstown Showdown is another story. Usually the Blue Jays fly some of their exciting younger prospects up to Lansing for a game. These pitchers are generally the ones who will get to Lansing the following year. You might expect Sean Reid-Foley, Nick Wells and Grayson Huffman to make the trip this year. I'll put Hansel Rodriguez (a 2013 highly-regarded international free agent) as a dark horse to come up for the April 9 game. I'm planning to be there and I'm excited to see my first CTSD!
The injury to Max Pentecost is clearly what pushes Jansen into a starting role for the Lugnuts in 2014. Recently undergoing shoulder surgery that will keep him from throwing until the end of May, Pentecost is on the shelf which opens up the space for Jansen who was one of the nicest prospect surprises of 2014 until a knee injury (sustained when stepping on home plate) finished his season prematurely.
Seth Conner is a veteran minor league backup who has spent a lot of time in Vancouver over the last few years. I think he'll get a Lansing assignment to open the season although the city isn't new to him at all.
Finally, I think a wild card could be Michael De La Cruz. De La Cruz played last year in Vancouver and he'll be 22. He doesn't have the best defensive numbers but he might be okay with the bat. Brett Wellman and Kevin Garcia were the only two other college catchers who the Blue Jays drafted in 2014.
So, according to Goldberg-Strassler, Justin Atkinson has been working on moving behind the plate. Does he return to Lansing where he had a pretty good 2014 with the bat or does he move up to Dunedin?
First Base
Rowdy Tellez
Ryan McBroom
You're looking at a pretty powerful 1B/DH combo for Lansing in 2015. Tellez is one of the premiere power-hitting first base prospects in the system and, after a sluggish start with Bluefield last year, he recovered nicely, ending up in Lansing at the end of the year and really showing me a lot in terms of plate discipline and approach as well as in-game power.
McBroom had a huge year in Vancouver last year after being drafted in the 15th round. While he cooled down at the end of the year (it could have been due to fatigue after a long college season), he still hit five home runs in August and tied for the Northwest League lead with 11 dingers.
Second Base
Timothy Locastro
Gunnar Heidt
At second base for the Lugnuts, I'm kind of torn on who is actually going to get the bulk of the every day at bats. I've got one of those good feelings about Heidt who fell in the draft after a wrist injury sapped his power in his final year of college. The Jays picked him up in the 13th round and I've read people comment that it could be one of the big steals of the draft. He hit solidly with the Canadians last year and, after resting for the offseason, could have a big 2015.
I'm also a fan of Locastro. The guy just gets on base. However, last year he didn't walk a lot but got hit by an incredible number of pitches. Is that a skill that is projectable? Still, he doesn't have a lot of power and Heidt may well have more of an upside.
Third Base
Alexis Maldonado
Ryan Metzler
In his second season with the Blue Jays, Maldonado showed some big improvement, increasing his contact skills as well as his power numbers, going from one extra-base hit in 116 plate appearances with Bluefield in 2013 to nine in 168 plate appearances in 2014. Maldonado hit .303/.365/.382 for Vancouver last year.
Metzler was a 2014 draftee and while he hit only .239 in Vancouver, he also had a .351 OBP. He'll probably be a semi-regular after having been a shortstop in college. He played 20 games at third and 13 at second in 2014 for Vancouver.
Richard Urena
Urena is, hands down, going to be the Lugnuts' shortstop in 2015 after his way to Lansing was cleared by the trade of Franklin Barreto. The best defensive shortstop in a crop of international free agents, Urena had a stellar year with the Bluefield Blue Jays, winning the R. Howard Webster Award as the team's MVP with a .318/.363/.433 line. He's got loads of gap power which will play well in Cooley Law School Stadium and he'll be among the youngest players on the Lugnuts.
Other Infielders
Aaron Attaway
Lane Thomas
Attaway is another college 2014 draftee who struggled a bit but still showed some good patience at the plate, posting an OBP that was almost 150 points higher than his .206 batting average. He also had six doubles and two triples in 121 plate appearances in Bluefield and would be a good fit for the Lugnuts as a utility guy after having played games at second, short and third for the Bluefield club.
Thomas is kind of a wild card. A high school draftee last year (in the 5th round), Thomas is being looked at almost equally as a third baseman and center fielder. He didn't show any weaknesses when adjusting to the professional game, hitting a combined .281/.369/.398 between the GCL and Bluefield and his numbers actually went up a ton when he moved up to Bluefield. After the Fall Instructional League and Spring Training, the Jays could decide that Thomas is ready for higher ball, although I think there's a greater chance that the 19 year old could stay back in extended spring training before getting a Vancouver assignment.
Josh Almonte
Chris Carlson
Jonathan Davis
Roemon Fields
These are the three outfielders who I think will almost certainly be in Lansing in 2015. Almonte was a 2012 draft pick who blossomed in Bluefield last year. As a guy with three years of short-season ball experience and, at the age of 21, it's time for him to move up.
Carlson was a college draftee last year and only hit .312/.409/.381 with Vancouver. There's no point in keeping him there in 2015.
Davis is a 22 year old 2013 draftee who had a solid first year in the pros before struggling with injury and trying to switch hit in 2014. Despite that, I think that he's in Lansing to get his work in over a full season.
Fields is a guy who was delivering the mail before the Jays signed him as a non-drafted free agent at the end of 2013. He didn't play that year but he led the Northwest League in stolen bases in 2014 and could very well be in center field for the Lugnuts in 2015.
I will qualify my convictions with the fact that there are a lot of other names coming up and any of these three could be left in extended spring training.
Other Outfielders
Anthony Alford
Boomer Collins
D.J. Davis
Lane Thomas
Here's where the big questions come. Will the Jays send Alford back to Lansing (where he played five games last year or are they going to count his Australian Baseball League time as counting towards A-ball experience and send him to Dunedin?
The same question refers to Davis. Is he going to be in Lansing or Dunedin? Do the Jays want him to repeat the level despite showing tremendous tools but the lack of skill development that led him to setting an all-time record for strikeouts in a year for the Lugnuts?
Collins was an undrafted free agent in 2013 and dominated the GCL that year before putting up mediocre numbers in Vancouver last year. He's already 25 (will be 26 in June) and he needs to get into full season ball this year.
Finally, there's Thomas. My read on the situation is that the Jays are really high on him but will want him to get everyday at bats somewhere. With this group of outfielders, there's the chance that he gets the playing time at third base if he's with Lansing but I think his playing time in Vancouver (if that's where he ends up) doesn't come at the cost of anyone else's.
Who do you think will be on the Lansing Lugnuts' pitching staff in 2015?

By John Bendel, editor-at-large
Smart parking has been the subject of government-funded studies and projects at least since 2000. Now a private company is making it a business. At least it's trying.
The company is called Truck Smart Parking Services. TSPS has set up shop in Michigan where it tracks truck parking spaces at locations along I-94 and makes the information visible to drivers on electronic highway signs, on the web, and through a smartphone app.
At the moment, there are only four electronic signs and 15 parking locations. Half of those locations are at private truck stops, and half are highway rest areas operated by the Michigan Department of Transportation.
According to Harry Voccola, chairman of TSPS, the company monitors truck parking spaces with sensors at lot entrances and exits to track trucks coming and going. Cameras validate the sensor counts. There is currently no charge for truckers to use the system. You can access the TSPS information and download the app, called TSPS Heads Up, for free.
So how does TSPS make money?
At the moment, it doesn't. But Voccola believes the truck parking challenge is a ground-floor opportunity.
"It's one of the last frontiers in transportation where technology is coming into play," he said. "We're in discussions with at least a dozen states."
Voccola knows something about transportation technology. Before TSPS, he worked with Lockheed Martin to develop and deploy E-ZPass automated toll systems. Even earlier, he was a founder of HELP, the PrePass system that enables compliant trucks to bypass weigh and inspection stations in 15 states.
TSPS, Voccola said, won't make money for a few years. The short-term plan calls for the number of parking sites to grow from 15 to 30 during 2015. Also by the end of the year, he expects drivers will be able to reserve a parking space ahead of time – for which they will pay a fee.
Long term, Voccola expects revenue from other sources as well. "We see companies. We see states. We see local governments. We see truck stop operators and all suppliers to the trucking industry," he said.
Those trucking suppliers will want to advertise on the TSPS app, Voccola said.
Currently, however, TSPS appears a bit rough around the edges. Its website includes a map of the Michigan area that requires a bit more explanation than is offered. For example, the map shows a great many parking locations, most of which are truck stops, all over the state and in nearby Indiana, Ohio, and even Ontario. But if you check the box marked "Show only lots with availability," all but a handful of locations vanish. It looks like there is nowhere to park a truck in Michigan except for some spots along I-94, including one grim-looking site in Detroit.
Voccola assured me that the Detroit site, while not very attractive, is indeed secure and that food and showers were available to drivers.
Where did all those other truck stops come from and where did they go when I checked that box?
"There are a large number of truck stops in the state, but most are not yet instrumented," Voccola explained. "That means they're not yet in the system. We've only connected on I-94."
When I checked the box, it seems, only the connected sites showed up, which accounts for all those unconnected locations going away.
But when and if the TSPS system should grow to include all the truck stops in Michigan, it still won't address a larger problem, Voccola noted.
"If you don't have connected corridors, individual state systems have limited value to the trucker," he said. "The distance a trucker can drive in a day, that's the minimum amount of highway that needs to be networked."
In other words, a more comprehensive system should assure drivers in the morning that they will be able to safely park at the end of a day in which they might cross one or two state borders.
Voccola would like to see TSPS involved in creating a more wide-ranging system.
"The federal government in recent years has spent upwards of $50 million on this problem nationwide with what I'd say is limited success, and is now proposing to spend even more," he said. "We would expect that some of that money is available to companies like ours. We have a system that works; it's deployed. All we have to do is expand it."
Voccola also conceded that the feds might better have spent more of that original $50 million on creating more parking spaces – something the evolving parking technologies simply can't. LL

Due to the Dropbox: TBA
You can do EITHER the Facebook OR the Meme. You don't have to do both.
For the Facebook option: Possibly understanding the plot of The Great Gatsby would have been a lot easier if each character had kept a Facebook page and would have simply updated his/her status after each major event! [Anachronism alert.] And/or, perhaps viewing a character's Facebook page would help readers understand more about him/her and his/her role in the story.
Here's an example (click to view larger) of a Facebook page made for a fictional character. (In this case, the fictional character is Robert Langdon, the protagonist of The Da Vinci Code and other Dan Brown novels. It's just an example to help you get the idea.)
Now it's your turn to take the aspects of The Great Gatsby and make them into a Facebook Wall. Some characters to consider using: Nick, Tom, Daisy, Jordan, Gatsby, Myrtle, and George Wilson. You could also include: Klipspringer, Owl Eyes, Meyer Wolfsheim, and/or Catherine.
To create your assignment, you can do one of two things: you can download the file attached below, open it in Keynote, fill in all of the blanks, and then upload your file back into GDocs in order to submit it to the Dropbox. Or, you can ask me to share the blank file with you in GDocs. But be sure to make your own copy before you do any editing!
You will be graded on:
Note: If you don't have a Facebook account or don't like to use the Internet, no big deal. Enough information will be presented in class for you to complete the assignment successfully either way.

IT was the bombing of Cambodia and the national anguish over Vietnam that spurred Congress, over Richard M. Nixon's veto, to enact a law that it hoped would prevent any other President from waging undeclared war.
The War Powers Resolution of 1973 was a masterpiece of deadlines and trip wires, all carefully constructed to keep a President in check. It called for consultation with Congress in matters of war. It required the Commander in Chief to notify Congress quickly when American troops were being sent to face possible hostilities. And it said troops had to be removed from foreign territory within 60 to 90 days unless Congress explicitly approved their mission.
But the law could do nothing to change the essential nature of Congress. Lawmakers rarely like to take an assertive stance on war -- and most particularly not before the chances of success or the poll ratings become clear. If anyone wanted proof of this it came last week when Representative Tom Campbell, a California Republican, ignored the entreaties of the House leadership and used the Vietnam-era legislation to force the House to take a stand on Kosovo.
The result? A philosophical muddle devoid of practical effect.
The House refused to declare war. It would not ratify the bombing already underway against Yugoslavia. Nor would it pull out the troops in order to stop the bombing. Then it demanded the right to vote again before President Clinton could widen the conflict to ground troops. The next day, a House committee proposed to give the President more than twice as much money as he wanted for the conflict.
''The signals being sent around the world are confusing,'' Senator Paul Coverdell, a Georgia Republican said. Representative Richard A. Gephardt, the House Minority leader, fumed that the House action was a ''low moment in American foreign policy and the history of this institution.''Continue reading the main story
Debate over how the President and Congress should share power in matters of war is as old as the Republic. Presidents have sent forces abroad more than 100 times; Congress has declared war only five times: the War of 1812, the Mexican War, the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II.
Article II of the Constitution makes the President Commander in Chief. But Article I puts responsibility for declaring war solely in Congressional hands, and Congress, most notably in 1973, has spasmodically tried to keep it there. But in practice, it has long been content to cede most of that authority to the White House.
Congress's war powers were rarely seriously challenged until this century. But the nuclear age and the cold war led Presidents to assume more power. In 1950, Harry S. Truman found a new way to side-step Congress: he used United Nations resolutions instead of a declaration of war by Congress to send troops to Korea.
In fact, for the past quarter of a century Presidents and Congress have almost seemed to conspire to find ways around the war powers law.
Presidents, after all, have never conceded that the law is constitutional. And Congress, for fear of being accused of giving aid and comfort to the enemy, has always shied away from pulling back troops once confronted with a fait accompli by a President. ''Even though the law is still on the books it has basically been ignored,'' said Peter J. Spiro, an associate professor at Hofstra University Law School.
So, for example, Presidents have used semantic tricks to minimize the role of Congress in military engagements and get around the deadlines for Congressional ratification. Troops are sent into foreign conflicts that Presidents insist are not ''hostilities'' under the definition of the war powers law. Presidents assert they have satisfied the requirement to ''consult'' Congress by informing a select circle of Congressional leaders of actions already underway.
President Reagan told Congress of the invasion of Grenada two hours after he had ordered the landing. He told Congressional leaders of the bombing of Libya while the aircraft were on their way. And he did not report formally to Congress when he increased the number of military advisers in El Salvador in 1981 because he argued there was no imminent threat of hostilities.
Though Congress did vote on the Persian Gulf war, it did so only in January 1991, just days before American bombs began to fall on Iraq. For months as half a million United States troops assembled in Saudi Arabia, Congress was slow and cautious, taking little action beyond complaining to President Bush that he needed Congressional approval. And when President Clinton sent troops to Haiti, his Administration argued that no Congressional approval was needed because there was no war -- the troops had been invited.
Mr. Campbell, who acknowledges, ''there's a natural inclination not to want to go on record on a controversial matter until and unless you have to,'' believes that the war powers law may have actually done the opposite of what its drafters intended, actively discouraging Congress from taking stands on wars. He said Presidents and Congress often view the 90-day time limit the law sets for a deployment without Congressional approval as a grace period during which Congress does not have to take a stand. Afterward, with American soldiers under fire, a vote against war is politically untenable.
Across the years, some dissident members of Congress have turned to the courts to try to test the President's power to wage war unilaterally. But they have been rebuffed because in each case Congress had failed to pass a resolution ordering the President to remove the troops.
But now, with the House on record against declaring war in Yugoslavia, Mr. Campbell is taking another stab at recapturing Congress' theoretical war-making authority by seeking a court ruling to stop American participation in the air war against Yugoslavia. He may or may not get a decision before the fighting stops.Continue reading the main story

Good morning, hope you all are having a wonderful Easter, today I have blog number three for Imagine if.... You've seen the boots/shoes we got sent but we also got lots of other delicious goodies in our craftiness bags, the chipboard die cuts are absolutely gorgeous, the bird cage is beautiful, the bars are thin but sturdy and the butterfly is so delicate looking but hold paint and embossing powders really well. On my two cards I did the same technique on both chipboard die cuts, first layer is some paint, on the cage I've used black and on the butterfly I've used Silks ginger peach. then I have used Stampin ups pewter embossing powder, then I have added Ultra thick embossing powders (UTEES) on my top layer. the UTEEs make the other embossing powder move around a bit so you get a glimpse of the paint in places underneath, with the black it makes it look a lot like metal but feels all smooth and nice, but on the butterfly I put a small layer of Rubbadubbadoo's Poly Sparkle in between the pewter and Utees and this has just added a hint of glitter on my butterfly and looks gorgeous. All quotes are from Imagine if.... and then I have complimented both with the softness of felt. Loving the felt, so soft and cuddly!!!!
last week I showed you my boot that I randomly painted/stamped/embossed among
other things, I have made a photo less lo with it, my background I just painted
stripes with my watercolour paint then randomly stamped, then used a clean-up
paper towel on top with a beautiful frame from Imagine if... and another
inspirational quote. The end result is a very busy page that I quite
that's me for now, enjoy your Easter break

Please be advised: the Top Ten Comedic News Stories of 2010 are not to be confused with the Top Ten Legitimate News Stories of 2010. They are as different as Lasagna and asphalt. Ear wax and linoleum. A lunch wagon sink trap and nuclear lab clean rooms. Toe shoes and track cleats. Christian Science Ministers and health insurance seminars.
Sure, sure, there were more serious stories involving death and destruction and devastation o'plenty but we tend to concentrate more on those narratives that offer a break from the tension. That allow us to view the desolation from the lighter side of the vast dark chasm. So here they are, the stories from 2010 that most lent themselves to joshing and kidding and ribbing.
10. Dick Cheney's 6th heart attack. How does a guy without a heart have 6 heart attacks? It would be like Rod Blagojevich contracting a brain tumor. Cheney is so evil, Hell keeps spitting him back.
9. Barack Obama. True to his word, the 44th President managed to unite the country. Against him. Although, the two sides do view him through different prisms. The right sees him as Malcolm X. The left- Urkel.
8. Christine O'Donnell. Delaware Senatorial candidate claimed she's not a witch. Then the local Wiccan community denied having anything to do with her. Which probably didn't lead above the fold on her election eve mailer.
7. California Gubernatorial Candidate Meg Whitman. A Jerry Brown staffer called her a "ho" and she went ballistic. "Its an insult to all women." Nooooo, we're pretty sure it was specific to you. Spends more than a seventh of a billion dollars on her campaign and still cuts her hair with a salad shooter. Go figure.
6. Glenn Beck. Attempts to reclaim the civil rights movement by holding a rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Because isn't it about time angry middle aged pudgy white guys got a fair shake from society?
5. Health Care. 2700 pages long. Or 2900. They're still not sure. Lot of stuff can happen in 200 pages. I've read Harry Potter.
4. The TSA's new search policy. Just direct me to the agent who didn't volunteer for the gig.
3. Sarah Palin. At Tea Party Convention she criticized Obama for over dependency on a Teleprompter while she had notes written on her hand. Which is a 5th grade teleprompter for people who can't read fast. Every two weeks there's something with her. Every two weeks, she erupts. She's like Republican herpes. And I mean that in a good way.
2. George W Bush's Autobiography. Decisions Decided by the Deciding Decider. Wherein he talks about how glad he is to be out of Washington. That makes about 310 million of us. Online campaign urges customers to transfer book from Non Fiction to True Crime.
1. BP Oil Spill. Largest pile of toxic sludge to hit American shores since Ann Coulter's latest book. Brightside: Able to refuel jet ski midtrip.

Home of Wheaton Bible Church's Quarterly Magazine
There's a little blue card in your bulletin this morning," Pastor Lon Allison told the congregation that Sunday morning in January 2009. "I want you to take it out, and on that card I want you to write the names of five people you need to pray for—people you know who don't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
"Maybe they are people you don't even like all that much," Lon said. "Maybe even some that you struggle with, but people who need Jesus."
Sitting in the service that Sunday, Greg Cox began writing as the names of various people in his life came to mind—men and women he knew who were far from God.
"Lon told us not to underestimate God's ability to change people, so I wrote down some real doozies," Greg remembers, "people I could hardly imagine would ever come to Christ."
Because the cards were handed in at the end of the service, Greg created a little bookmark for himself when he got home that day, writing the names down to remind himself to pray for the people on his list.
And he began to pray.
"I am not somebody you would call a prayer warrior, or even the most disciplined person when it comes to my devotional life," Greg explains. "But whenever the list came to mind, I would pray through the names."
Just a short time later, he saw the first answer to those prayers.
Greg was on a company retreat when Sonja, a coworker whose name was on his list, stood up and spoke to the group.
"I can't really explain it," she said, "but I am certain that I have been feeling God calling me close to Him—telling me that I need a relationship with Him. So I got the name of a woman's group at a local church, and I've been going to their meetings."
Greg was stunned as he heard those words from someone who, as far as he knew, had expressed little interest in spiritual things.
Over the weeks that followed, Sonja not only became a follower of Jesus but also proclaimed her faith in Christ by being baptized! Today she is actively involved at her church and is serving in the children's ministry there.
"Seeing Sonja come to faith reenergized me to continue praying for the others on my list," Greg said.
Even so, he admits, as time passed, his focus faded—until one Sunday morning when Lon was speaking once again. "As he prayed that morning, he mentioned the lists we'd made and said, 'Let's pray for the people on our lists.'"
"At that point, I realized that it had been a while since I prayed for the four people still on my list—including the husband of a woman on my team at work, a guy who was really struggling with a lot of difficult issues.
"His wife was a coworker I didn't see very often—maybe once every couple of months when she would come in to teach a class," Greg says. "But she showed up the very next day.
"It's Monday morning, and she comes by my office and says, 'Greg, you're not going to believe what happened yesterday.'
"I sat back in my chair and said, 'John became a Christian.'
"'How did you know that? You've got to be kidding me,' she said. She couldn't believe I'd guessed her news," Greg recalls. "And I said, 'Because I prayed for him when I was in church yesterday morning.'
"She then started telling me about how her husband had accepted Christ after church the day before," he said. "And when we figured out the time, it had happened pretty much at the same time when I was praying.
"I'm a little bit skeptical about things like that," Greg said.
"Today, John has Christ as his Savior, and it's made a difference in his family," he added. "I just saw a Facebook picture of them on vacation in Florida, and I believe that family is together because God has made a difference in John's life."
Even though Greg had had some conversations with John about the Lord, he believes that praying for John was the biggest role God had for him in seeing John come to faith.
Another coworker on the list was a young man Greg worried about because of a negative relationship in his life.
"He was dating a woman who was a bad influence and was pulling him away from anything that was going to point him to God," Greg recalls. "I was concerned for him, but then, all of a sudden, he broke off that relationship and started attending a good church, joined a Bible study, and became a Christian. Just amazing!"
It had now been two and a half years since Greg wrote down his list of "impossible" names, and by that point, three of those individuals had come to faith in Christ!
"I am a guy who likes to talk," Greg says, "but my friend Jim has always been able talk me under the table! And when I'd try to talk about spiritual things, those conversations would go absolutely nowhere. He would tell me all about his own made up religion: Be good. Live a good life. A little bit of this and a little bit of that."
To make the situation even more difficult, Jim's wife was an atheist. She had grown up in a traditional church and had bad experiences that left her with what Greg calls an absolute disdain for Christians. She didn't even want Jim to read the Bible.
"We would be talking about Jesus," Greg says, "and he would admit that there were some good things about Jesus and that He was a good teacher. We would have that conversation, but then he'd tell me, 'Ellen would never go for that. She would throw me out of the house if I started following Jesus.'"
Greg was frustrated by how his friend continued to resist the truth, avoiding the subject when possible—but even when Greg couldn't see it, God was at work. In fact, Greg could hardly believe it when he learned that Jim and his wife had attended an Alpha group at a church near their home and had come to faith in Christ.
"This is a camel-through-the-eye-of-a-needle kind of thing," Greg says. "I cannot believe God did that. I know He turned water into wine, but that He saved Jim and Ellen just blows my mind.
"In my mind, Satan had such a stranglehold on those two and probably thought they were his," Greg says. "That God would touch their hearts is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen Him do."
One More
Today, one more name remains on Greg's original list. "It's a tough one," he says. "But God has taught me, above all else, that He hears and answers prayer.
"Sometimes we're tired, we're spiritually lazy," he adds, "but creating a list is something we all can do." And for Greg, even the act of making a list—writing down those names—made him a little more deliberate in his conversations, a little more intentional about building relationships, and a little more fearless in sharing his faith.
"Of course, not everyone responds. There are funerals we go to, and it's not good. It's very sad. But I think we need to take the burden off our shoulders. It's the Holy Spirit who makes people respond," Greg says, "not us. He doesn't need our salesmanship skills to bring people to Him, but He allows us the privilege of being part of the process.
"Praying for people to come to Christ is powerful," Greg adds, "and that better be on our prayer agenda—specific people, specific names." Following his own recommendation, Greg has recently formalized a new list. And again he's praying—and watching to see what God will do.
An admitted fan of C. S. Lewis and his book The Screwtape Letters, Greg likes to imagine how "Uncle Screwtape" would feel about his list. "I think the last thing he want us to be doing is praying for other people," Greg says, referring to the senior demon in Lewis's satirical novel. "I think that kind of prayer makes demons shudder."

Pacific took the opportunity to quickly gain revenge for the previous day's defeat on a nice if small ground just outside Sherborne. The game started in sunny weather but it clouded over and there was some drizzle on a muggy energy sapping day. Skip Tempany elected to bat on a ground with a very quick sloping outfield and an opposition with only eight players (we only had ten). The oppo randomly chose two batsmen to bat twice and we lent them two players when they were fielding.
Lay got the scoreboard moving whilst Bastin played himself in and tested his sore ankle (see previous day). Bastin gradually found his touch and was soon smashing fours through midwicket and cover. He fell hooking to about the only ball that bounced a bit more than expected in the whole innings. Lay departed to a one-handed catch at cover.
Webley and Rademaker then increased the tempo against the oppo's aging spinners. Webbo hit some straight sixes and made a solid fifty but it was Rademaker who led the way in the partnership. Rademaker survived a couple of missed catches by sub fielders Vinod and Gleadow – albeit both very tough chances. The skip's arrival saw carnage done to the bowling figures and the skip pass a thousand runs for the club. Boundaries are never big enough for the skip and here many a ball was lost and fielders had to jump many a fence to fetch balls. The declaration was delayed whilst Rademaker navigated the nervous nineties on his way to his first hundred for the club.
The tea was excellent.
Vinod provided a hostile start making the batsmen ducking his bouncers. In contrast Gleadow was slower than a snail going up the hill. Both were expensive but Gleadow eventually got going and got two wickets but dropped one of his own bowling. The oppo kept themselves in the game until Shamsuddin produced two 'Warney balls' to befuddle their middle order. Tempany's wicket was a bouncer the batsman did well to reach to knick behind. That catch meant Bastin equalled the record for catches in a season (in June!). Hill and Korgaonkar bowled really well in face of some determined hitting to wrap up the game.

Sandy Victims Prepare to Vote
For victims of Hurricane Sandy, it's starting to get cold. Officials in areas of the Northeast hit hard by the storm are arranging ways for people with little gas and no electricity to vote on Nov. 6, as President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney appeared neck and neck in their race for the White House. Some voters in New Jersey will be allowed to cast ballots by email, while New York arranged for voting tents to be constructed in some areas. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ordered county clerks to open to allow for early voting over the weekend.

UMD astronomers will use powerful new telescope camera for research and education
[c][attachment=0]ZTF Orion v3.jpg[/attachment][/c][hr][/hr]A new robotic camera with the ability to capture hundreds of thousands of stars and galaxies in a single shot has taken its first image of the sky—an event astronomers refer to as "first light." The camera is the centerpiece of a new automated sky survey project called the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), based at Caltech's Palomar Observatory near San Diego, California.
As partners in the ZTF effort, University of Maryland astronomers made important contributions to the planning and design of the survey project. UMD participation in ZTF is facilitated by the Joint Space-Science Institute, a partnership between UMD and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Every night, ZTF's camera will scan a large swath of the Northern sky, discovering objects and events that vary in brightness over time, collectively known as transients. Survey targets will include explosive supernovae, hungry black holes, and hurtling asteroids and comets. ...
The ZTF survey is the powerful sequel to PTF. It is named after Caltech's first astrophysicist, Fritz Zwicky, who discovered 120 supernovae in his lifetime. Recently installed at the Oschin Telescope, ZTF's new survey camera can take in seven times more sky in a single image than its predecessor. At maximum resolution, each ZTF camera image is 24,000 by 24,000 pixels—so huge that the images are difficult to display on a normal computer screen.
Additionally, ZTF's upgraded electronics and telescope drive systems enable the camera to take more than twice as many exposures every night. Astronomers will not only be able to discover more transient objects, they will also be able to catch more ephemeral features that appear and fade quickly. ...

Dave Hill, the lead NO2EU-YestoDemocracy candidate (a socialist and trade union backed party fighting the European elections nationally) this week joined the 100 strong picket line of teachers and students protesting against threatened redundancies and plans to cut pay and conditions at Park for staff.
At the 300 strong public meeting (Eastbourne Town Hall, Monday 18 May) Dave Hill said
`I am here as a Grandad. My grandson Josh Akehurst is currently taking his A levels at Park College. I don't want to see him and future students here having education on the cheap, with teachers on inferior pay and conditions.'
`I am also here as a member of the Universities and Colleges Union, UCU, and as a former regional chair of the lecturers' union, offering our solidarity in this struggle to protect pay and conditions- and the quality of education for our young people'.

When I look at a picture of myself, I can point out a million things I hate: my hair is always flat, I hate the ptosis in my left eye, I hate the shape of my brow bone, I have a bad complexion. And I'm a photographer! How can I expect women in front of my camera to feel any different than I do when I have to endure having my photo taken? I know that some men hate having their photo taken, too, and many of them probably aren't as easy to admit that they hate their complexion or the shape of their brow bone, but I'm sure they think these things.
As in any situation, we photographers just need to start by asking ourselves…what would we want? How would we want a photographer to treat us? It's a pretty simple, solution, really…to behave in line with the golden rule.
Women usually aren't afraid to offer criticism about themselves. In fact, we're downright professionals at criticizing ourselves. So if a woman truly hates having her photo taken, she usually says so upon making the booking with you. At that point, I would first congratulate her on coming to the point of actually making the booking in the first place. That's a big step!
I wouldn't have a questionnaire for her to fill out about the things she hates about herself. And I wouldn't make promises and I definitely wouldn't mention the word 'Photoshop'. The instant you say 'Photoshop', I guarantee that 90% of women instantly begin thinking of Madonna, Kim Kardashian…any and every celebrity who looks NOTHING in real person like they do in magazines. And they may expect/require you to edit every last hair on their head, freckle on their body, roll of fat on their hips. And before you know it, you've aged 10 years infront of your computer editing one session.
One hour with a sensitive professional can change a woman's view of herself forever.
good article....
Thanks for this, as a wedding photographer I can certainly relate to the tips and advice given.
More posing tips would have been great in this article but overall, it's very informative.
Finally! Being a 6'3'' photographer pays off. :-)
This one is slightly low, off camera flash. Somewhat dramatic after a long Trash The Dress session in the rain.
Cheers, Erik
Sometimes some extreme angles work as well - top to bottom. I wouldn't have shot this but Jessie wanted this...I think it worked.
Thanks Elizabeth! Great tips!
The biggest challenge I have is posing. Most articles like this will mention that posing is important, but not give any more detail than that. Elizabeth, you seem to understand posing well. Would you be willing to write another article that talks about the differences between masculine and feminine poses and how to set them up? I think a lot of people on this site would appreciate that kind of information.
Soft Lighting works wonders.
Best regards, Erik
Yes, a well written article, but leaves out many details required to actually put the rules in place. Maybe, as few more examples with appropriate photographs would have explained better.
Nevertheless, a good starting point.
Thanks so much! Those were great advises for me as a biggner.
Folks comments as educational too. Thanks
where can we learn how to pose clients like celebrities??! how come this wasn't mentioned in the article?
Oh, I'd hope so Doug, I'd really hope so ;-)
Elizabeth, thanks for this article. As a (totally amateur) photographer who HATES having her picture taken, this will really help me - I need a photo taken for work, and I'm dreading it.
One extra thing I'd say - think about clothes in advance. Everyone looks good in plain black (and it's gotta be easier to Photoshop, right?), but vivid can totally change the shot. Be really careful with prints. Above all, be comfortable.
From 1985 to 2005 I photographed around 1000 women in weddings, portraits and glamours shoots and almost all of them would disagree with Mini above. Firstly I have an attitude that women generally are beautiful and my task is to show that the very best way that I can. That is MY challenge. I can't imagine why a woman who hates being photographed would even turn up at my door! I begin a relationship with the client from the first word. Building trust with basic conversation about them, the family, kids etc. Get them into their happy place. You'll see it in their eyes and face when you acheive this and as photographers we should all be able to read that in a person.
As I begin the shoot I assure them that nobody else will see the pictures before they do and that we can instantly delete anything they don't really like. This immediately adds to the confidence level. I ask them what 'bits' of themselves they don't like and then what about them they really DO like. We of course then feature the good bits and avoid the others. I once had a girl with a huge birthmark all over one arm so I just made sure this was on the side away from the camera or neatly covered by well placed tuille. She loved every shot and forgot about that mark for a while.
Photography is about capturing and presenting emotion. The mother or the husband/boyfriend will always see something in a photo of a loved one that you will never see. Sell them that! I once had a very shy girl who first presented in a button up shirt, skirt and knee high boots showing very little of her. The final shots were in a very sexy matching underwear set (black) on white sheets and red rose petals. We enlarged one full length shot to poster size and inset some smaller prints along the bottom. When I saw her a year later and asked "did the photograph do the job?" she replied "Everynight!!" I think we were all satisfied with that.
"One hour with a sensitive professional can change a woman's view of herself forever."
True, but would "the professional" be using a camera?
Are we really going to worry about the title? The information is great and very useful, just call it what you want and when you are ready to help other people with tips on improving their photography you may call it The Blue Goat if that makes you happy.
There are plenty of good general tips here. I'd like to add that if you make the actual shoot a fun experience for her, and the result is beautiful photography, she will be very happy that she worked with you. It's that simple.
Posing, angles, lighting, and post-processing are particular to the photographer's style and genre of photography (boudoir or glamour as opposed to traditional portraits), so it's hard to apply a general rule to these aspects.
I thin the title should be " 7 Tips for Helping Women Love Having Their Photo Taken BY You ".
This title doesn't make sense.
Many thanks for the article Elizabeth.
As a middle-aged man, I'm always wondering if I am connecting with brides at weddings or if they are too polite to tell me what they are really thinking. Usually I feel it's a bit of both. I can go so far but there will always be a gap I cannot cross. Is this one reason why I see more and more lady photographers ?
Thanks Elizabeth. Love your articles.
I just thought of another great tip! We always carry an HD Monitor with us which we teather to the camera. There is nothing like the model seeing the result and dynamically making adjustments and giving feedback. During some early shoots I was encouraged to show images during a shoot - but looking at a small LCD on the back of the camera is never as good as seeing it on a calibrated 17inch Monitor. This helps improve quality immensely!
In this show we didnt like the angle of the light and then adjusted the light and model - could not have done this looking at the back of the camera!
Awesome advice! Your posts are always so helpful. :) I just did a session for a friend the other day, and she is always concerned with how she looks in pictures. She glowed in this session though! I did my best to get her talking and laughing throughout the shoot and it really paid off. As far as editing goes, I'm all for doing minor repairs on fat rolls, sometimes they're just too distracting in the picture . And if you left it, you know the client would obsess over it - at least I would if it were me!
Great advice! Thank you so much!!
FABULOUS article... some other tips would be to have her give you a few photographs that she really likes of herself. Bring a side-kick, and have them hold up a mirror. People tend to style themselves pretty when they can see what they look like for themselves. This can improve the quantity of quality shots you offer up when all is said and done. FINALLY, give her options! I find that my MANY clients love the shots I wouldn't even consider to be in the top 20.... so don't eliminate what YOU might not like. Clients see themselves differently than you do sometimes. Being a female photographer helps gain that extra comfort level that men just can't. Sorry guys, this is one area of expertise where women have the edge. DEFINITELY have fun and try and make her laugh. Natural moments tend to be the most treasured.
Great advice - I have learned from past mistakes, like shooting from a low angle, bad lighting, weird and awkward angles. Shooting from a slightly higher view point helps to slim people. Another thing is to get a comfortable pose and stance. I tell models to put their weight on their back foot, relax, stand straight and turn to torso away from the camera. This is slimming.
Sometimes shooting from a low angles is very dramatic - depends on what effect one is trying to achieve.
Here is one that I think works!
With women always have them float their arms away from their mid-section, no matter their size. Having a negative space in between the body and the arms has a slimming effect that I'm particularly fond of.
Timely advice Elizabeth! I just booked with a couple where the woman is a bit heavy and the man is shorter than her. Got my work cut out for me!
These are some really good tips. Shooting a bit high or at eye level is a good trick for flattering images. Shooting from a high vantage point thins out the torso but don't get carried away. Also, if getting more upper body, have your subject place her weight on her back foot and turn the body away from the camera. It is amazing how more natural the posture and slimming this can be.
regarding lighting, younger models can handle 45 to 90 off camera lights better than old models (wrinkles etc). So move your lights closer to 0 degrees for older folks and use a Softbox.
This is close to 90 degree, model turning head slightly into the light "Surprise": http://t.co/Fg6gfqZ
This is not to say that shooting from below is always bad. It tends to give a rather dramatic and imposing effect, like this shot from a Trash The Dress Session: : http://t.co/I3Cw4kP

Thanks for these tips. I know I always feel uncomfortable photographing people and getting models for my projects is hard enough because of image issues. But hopefully this will help me to get the model to want to come back. Good article!

Vault: New Music for Silent Gothic Films
An evening of live music for silent gothic treasures from the BFI National Archive. Vault was performed in NFT1 at the BFI, Southbank, for the nationwide season Gothic – The Dark Heart of Film.
I was joined for this production by fellow musicians Bela Emerson ('cello), Stephen Hiscock (percussion), Paul Snowdon (aka Time Attendant) and vocalist Jenny Angliss. Working with Stuart Brown, Programmes Director, and Bryony Dixon, curator of silent film, we selected around a dozen, rarely seen treasures from the vaults and accompanied them live on the BFI stage. The films, all made before 1930, mixed romance with ancient ruins, witchcraft, transfigurations and many other gothic tropes. A personal highlight was the opportunity to compose an electroacoustic score for Webber and Watson's 1928 expressionist masterpiece The Fall of the House of Usher. This was performed live on vocals, theremin, bells, spinet and electronics.
Jon Brooks also joined us in spirit, contributing a pre-recorded electronic score for Segondo du Chomon's stencil coloured cinematic trip La légende du fantôme. The evening was directed by Emma Kilbey.
Thanks to the PRS for Music Foundation for making this project possible via an Individual Award for composition. We'd also like to thank the BFI for taking us on and giving us their considerable support. Vault was one of a series of live music events for Gothic film, produced by the BFI in association with The Wire magazine.

BBC Radio New Comedy Award Final 2014
I talk really fast in this, because a. I was nervous (as well as being a competition final, the show was being broadcast live on BBC Radio 2), and b. I was determined to fit as much material as possible into five minutes. These were also my reasons for heading straight to the microphone and accidentally blanking Patrick Kielty.
Socially Awkward Situations
In 2016, I presented a series on the BBC Brit YouTube channel called Socially Awkward Situations — starring Kirsty Mann and Mark Joseph, and directed by Dipak Patel. Fun fact: this was the very last series on BBC Brit before it was scrapped. Yay, budget cuts! I've embedded episode 1 below, and you can check out episodes 2, 3, 4 and 5 over on some website called YouTube.
