Not too many leads are safe against a team as dangerous as St. John's. Not even leads with 13 seconds left, as Fitchburg High found out.
The Red Raiders capped a 39-yard drive when Manny Payton hauled in a 16-yard touchdown catch from Darius Flowers with 13 seconds left. Julio Gonzalez gave Fitchburg a 15-14 lead when he drove through the right side untouched for the 2-point conversion.
However, the Pioneers had one trick left. Senior Michael McGillicuddy corralled a squib kick at the St. John's 35-yard line, emerged from a scrum of blockers, and broke loose for a 65-yard touchdown as time expired to give the No. 4 Pioneers a stunning, 20-15 victory on Saturday.
"I was just looking for a hole and once I found it, I knew my blockers were going to block for me. I just followed it and it opened up," McGillicuddy said. "I saw a little seam starting to form and I just followed that and it opened up more."
St. John's coach John Andreoli pointed out the clock had expired after McGillicuddy gained 20 yards, so it was all up to him to score because the Pioneers couldn't run a play into the end zone or try for a field goal.
"Michael McGillicuddy is a winner and a competitor, and if there's anyone you want to have the ball in their hands with that kind of time left, it's him," Andreoli said.
It was a tough way for Fitchburg (1-2) to end its day. The Red Raiders dominated the line of scrimmage and outgained St. John's, 329-220, in offensive yards.
"I think we're a good team," Fitchburg coach Dan Walker said. "Everyone that has seen us play knows we're a good team. I think we let one get away against Shepherd Hill, and we let one get away here. We need to learn how to win — that's what it comes down to."
Fitchburg's Nik Myles gained 100 yards on 20 carries and also made his Central Mass.-leading fifth interception, while Gonzalez gained 107 yards on 20 carries.
Gonzalez had a 30-yard touchdown called back because of a holding penalty, and two plays later the Red Raiders fumbled on the Pioneers' 20-yard line with 1:46 left. Junior James Hojnowski recovered and St. John's had a chance to run out the clock, but the Pioneers went three-and-out and were victimized when Hunter Sallila brought down quarterback Drew Smiley for an 18-yard loss.
The Red Raiders took over on the St. John's 39 and needed just five plays to find the end zone for what they thought was the winning score.
"We're a hungry team," Gonzalez said, fighting back tears. "All we want to do is win. We fought for it and we thought we deserved it. In the end, it wasn't meant to be. We worked our (butts) off all summer to win. We're not here to lose. We're not here to play good games and lose. We're here to play great games and win — to work our (butts) off and give it our all so we can win."
The Pioneers (2-1) were without junior star Davon Jones, who was forced to sit after being flagged for a targeting penalty last week against Catholic Memorial, and their offense had trouble getting into a rhythm. Smiley (9 rushing yards, 137 passing yards) wasn't able to break out for many big gains, but he did find McGillicuddy for a 24-yard TD in the first quarter and then hit T.J. Kelly for a 39-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
Darius Flowers (9 rushes, 66 yards) tied it for Fitchburg when he scored on a 1-yard rush in the second quarter.
"Our kids are crushed. I thought they played great," Walker said. "We'll bounce back and we'll be better for it the rest of the year. Our kids have heart, they're tough. They played hurt. The biggest thing is we have to learn how to win. We're right there."

Bed and Breakfast
Longtime member omr24 pointed out that the "I am willing to host" label in profiles under the "Travel" section was ambiguous. This checkbox was intended to indicate that you are willing to provide some place to sleep for visiting members, like couch surfing. However, due to the way it was phrased it could be interpreted as "willing to host a match".
This has now been remedied; the checkbox is now labeled "Bed and Breakfast". If you have put this in your profile with the interpretation that you are hosting matches only, please remove it and select "I have access to mats" or "I have access to a ring" under "Interests".
Additionally, I have posted a new page titled "Bed and Breakfast" that helps you quickly search for such.
In other news, I regret to inform you that we are not accepting new submissions to the Events page pending a review of how to proceed with that feature.
Updated Privacy Policy and Map Feature
As part of our efforts to preserve the privacy of our members, the site's Privacy Policy has been updated. Please review it! Ours is a fairly straightforward document, no thick legalese. I would like to take this opportunity to thank grappleruk, Ironbull and our wonderful support team for helping with the initiative!
Additionally, our Terms of Service page has been amended with the following items:
10. You must respect the privacy of other members and never disclose their personal information or correspondence without their express consent.
11. MeetFighters is for private and personal use only. You may not use the site for the purpose of collection or aggregation of data for any reason, be it commercial or non-commercial.
Both changes are going into effect immediately. We strive to make these changes as painless and agreeable as we can. It is our hope that you find the updated Privacy Policy or Terms of Service to be acceptable. However, if you don't then please delete your membership on the Settings page.
Map Feature
As mentioned previously, as part of our privacy initiative, MeetFighters decided to stop using Google Maps for certain features. Work on the new map integration is ongoing; unfortunately replacing a service as huge and comprehensive as Google Maps is not an easy task. If you experience difficulties, please let us know.
Update 3rd July
Big thanks to everyone who commented! On most days our team is dealing with members who have some sort of complaint, so it feels good to get some positive feedback now and then. :)
We have deployed a new version of the "reverse geocoding" (map coordinates to city name) service, this time based on a service called "gisgraphy" instead of OpenStreetMap. Gisgraphy uses multiple data sources, including OpenStreetMap, and hopefully does a better job of finding the right city names and addresses. My preliminary tests show improvements, although not perfection.
@scottimike asked about threats to the site. At present time I am not aware of any big ones. The team behind MeetFighters is always busy providing help and support and improvements to the site, but the foundations are strong. We have a good community here, and ultimately that's all that matters.
New Map Integration, Privacy Controls
Dear Fighters,
As part of ongoing work on the site's user privacy, I am announcing two important new changes.
New Map Integration
Until recently, MeetFighters was using Google Maps for various functions, most importantly the World Map page and profile location editor page. As part of a larger initiative with site supporters to enhance MeetFighters protection of members privacy, we have also reviewed recent changes to Google Maps privacy policy and found them to be incompatible with our principles.
As we have found no possibility to enhance privacy and at the same time keep Google Maps, we started shopping around for alternatives and came to OpenStreetMap. OpenStreetMap is built by a community of mappers that contribute and maintain data about roads, trails, cafés, railway stations, and much more, all over the world. In many ways OpenStreetMap is the Wikipedia of map data.
As with all replacements go, especially when you try to replace a service as comprehensive as Google Maps, there tend to be problems along the way. While OpenStreetMap is awesome in many ways, we have found that its reverse geomapping feature, the ability to translate map coordinates into addresses, leaves much to be desired. Please check your location data, displayed directly in the user menu (the dropdown near the top right of the screen that shows your primary photo). If you find that your country or city is not correct, please contact site support and tell us about it.
We are exploring many alternatives to OpenStreetMap reverse geocoding, but have yet to find one that is reasonably priced and has worldwide coverage.
Blog Entries
Until now, your blog entries were "world readable", which means that unregistered visitors and search engines (think Google or Bing) could find and read them. This is in many ways desirable; your blogs have led many new members find our site through their web searches on certain topics, which in turn has helped our site grow.
However, if you feel that some of your blog entries are too personal for general consumption, you now have the option to restrict them to registered site members and hide them from search engines. To do that, go to your blog, click to modify the individual entry and check the box that is marked "Hide this post from unregistered visitors".

16000 Members, Password Security
Hello Fighters,
Important announcement: If you are using your MeetFighters password on other sites, change your password now. Sharing a password increases the risk of your account being hacked. Scroll down for more.
But let's start with some great news: our beloved site, MeetFighters, now has over 16000 members worldwide! This is a time to celebrate, open a bottle of champagne and be merry!
At the time of writing, we have
Password Security
We recently had a nasty incident originating from another site. Normally here at MeetFighters we love competition and to trade links with similar sites. We believe that friendly rivalry is 100% in line with our theme as a fighting site. We had this disposition when we were the smallest, and have now that we are the largest.
Since the start, we have the utmost respect for our members' privacy. We do not participate in any advertising networks or other schemes that could compromise your browsing experience.
Unfortunately not every site shares our sunny disposition. We recently discovered that the operator of another site, f********oday.com (site name redacted, you'll see why), has taken the password of a MeetFighters member from his site database, and used it to break into that member's MeetFighters account. He then proceeded to send messages, impersonating that member, in an attempt to redirect others to his site and soliciting some to send e-mails to him. He could do this because our member was naive enough to use the same password on both sites.
Photo credit: BMN Network
We have contacted the site operator and warned him that such criminal activity will not be tolerated, and if he makes any further attempts we will turn over all the evidence that we have gathered to the authorities.
The sad part is that we would have been happy to do link exchange with his little site, like any other wrestling personals site, if he just contacted us directly like a normal person. Instead, he chose to run a number of sock puppets with the best stolen male pictures that the internet could provide, trying to push his scam operation. Needless to say, we are not so ready to do link exchange anymore or to name them here.
To summarize: If you use the same password on other sites, change it now. Your account's security is important to us; let it be important to you too.
Last Call for Comments on the New Chat
Hello Fighters,
This is the last call for comments and bug reports on the new chat! The old browser chat is going away, it will not be kept as an option, so please take a minute or two to try the new chat and make sure that it is functioning correctly on your device. I want your comments now, and not after it is deployed and you go "Oh, but it's not working for me, you ruined my internets forever!!11"'.
So what has changed?
- The avatar pictures on the user list are back. (This was the most requested feature in the previous round.)
- Some profile info (stats, location and introduction) are shown when you click on a user from the list.
- Photo sharing is completed. To share a photo with another chatter, start a conversation with them, then find the photo icon near the top right, and then either click on one of your existing photos, or upload a new one to share it instantly.
- Experimental webcam support. The web-based technologies (that is, those that work without the miasma that is Flash) for video are here, but support for them is spotty. Most notably, the technology will not work with Internet Explorer, and is only available with the newest version of Safari.
- Choose between modern and classic look. If you want the message list without the avatar pictures, click on the cogwheel icon near the top left of the screen and then check "Traditional IRC layout".
- Worked around an issue in iOS Safari that would prevent the message sound from playing properly. I would like to make a note here that developing for any Apple product is hell on Earth.

The conventional wisdom among critics has long been that Neko Case is a singer-songwriter with much more singing than songwriting ability. That partially explains why cultists slaver over Case's infrequent vocal showcases with the New Pornographers, her power-pop moonlighting project. When removed from the muted, melancholy twang of her own material, Case is the charismatic, soaring voice that elevates the New Pornographers from a male pop-nerd lab experiment into something alchemical. On her own, she's either haunting or dreary, depending on your disposition. Robert Christgau, the dean of American rock critics, made his position clear in a 2003 New Pornographers review when he openly wished that Case would pull the plug on her "faux-country" solo career.
Fox confessor brings the flood
Neko Case
The good news is that Fox Confessor Brings the Flood, Case's first studio album in nearly four years, marks the point at which her songwriting voice fully coalesces. The sound, an arid expanse of distant brushwork and spare surf-guitar tremelo, is not a radical departure from 2002's Blacklisted, and Case's obsessions with mortality and hearbreak remain intact. But the angel is in the details, and the melodicism and poetic twists behind songs such as "Hold On, Hold On" and "The Needle Has Landed" suggest a new-found assurance. The blood and anguish of "Star Witness" or "Dirty Knife" could easily make for grim listening, but Case is fascinated with the beauty behind such tragedies, and she consistently delivers morbid stories with a detached, reportorial tone that only makes them more devastating.
At one point, she concedes "the tenderest place in my heart is for strangers," and it's the troubling irony of that revelation that anchors these songs. Case may want to hold out for "that teenage feeling," but you sense she's not convinced it really exists.

February 2, 2008—Barack Obama argues that the Democrats will have a better chance for victory in November if they have a presidential nominee who opposed the Iraq War from the start and who can contrast that judgment against John McCain's enthusiasm for a centuries-long U.S. occupation of Iraq.
Hillary Clinton would be open to similar attacks since she voted in 2002 to give Bush the authority to invade Iraq and remained a staunch war supporter almost until the eve of Campaign 2008, when she realigned herself with the anti-war sentiments of rank-and-file Democrats.
She was for it, for it and for it – before she was finally against it.
But another factor that plays to Obama's advantage as the prospective nominee – when compared to Hillary Clinton – is that the Right's powerful media apparatus and the Republican attack strategies appear less successful against Democrats with strong oratorical skills and the ability to inspire enthusiasm and passion.
Over the past two decades when the Democrats have put up candidates who are competent but who lack pizzazz – think Michael Dukakis, Al Gore and John Kerry – the Republicans have been most effective in leveraging their media advantages to damage the Democrats and deny them the White House.
In contrast, Bill Clinton bested the Republican machine by exploiting his impressive speaking skills and by generating excitement and hope. Even though the Right never gave up trying to destroy President Clinton, his ability to communicate with the American people was always his saving grace.
Today, that eloquence edge clearly goes to Barack Obama, who has demonstrated the capacity to excite and uplift voters, even drawing comparisons with the brilliant oratory of John F. Kennedy.
That ability to inspire a young generation has earned Obama the public embrace of iconic members of the Kennedy clan, including the late President's daughter Caroline and his surviving brother, Sen. Edward Kennedy.
Hillary Clinton herself has likened Obama's oratory to "poetry" and her detailed policy prescriptions to "prose." But the painful truth is that the solid prose of Dukakis, Gore and Kerry wasn't a match for the grinding nastiness of the Republican attack machine.
When both parties have fielded less-than-riveting candidates, the Right's media power has enabled the Republicans to drag even the most inarticulate candidates, such as the two George Bushes, across the finish line. But the Democrats don't have that advantage.
If anything, that media imbalance is even worse today.
Over the past few years, the Right has continued to pour tens of billions of dollars into its media infrastructure – ranging from books, magazines and newspapers to talk radio, cable news and the Internet – while the Left still resists any comparable media investment, leaving its few outlets – like Air America Radio – to struggle along under-funded.
So, one of the few certainties of Campaign 2008 is that whoever is the Democratic nominee can expect a full-scale barrage of Republican attacks, anti-Democratic "oppo" injected into the public debate.
This has been a pattern for the past two decades, from 1988 when the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Washington Times spread false rumors about Michael Dukakis's mental health to 2004 when Rupert Murdoch's Fox News raised doubts about John Kerry's Vietnam War heroism.
If the pattern holds, the anti-Democratic themes also will resonate through the mainstream media, which is conditioned to picking up attack lines from the Right, partly as a defense against accusations of "liberal bias" from conservative anti-press organizations.
Given this right-tilted asymmetry, the Democrats have little choice but to make the question of vulnerability to Republican smears a factor in their nominee selection process. The euphemism for this assessment is called "electability."
Some observers argue that the certainty of Republican assaults should favor Clinton over Obama (because the Clintons already have been "vetted" and Obama is a fresh target). But that analysis may not be entirely accurate.
While it's true that the Clintons were subjected to extraordinary scrutiny during their eight years in the White House, their past seven years offer a whole new set of targets. There are also legitimate questions about the secretive fundraising for the Clinton presidential library, Bill Clinton's overseas speaking fees, and his business ventures.
One senior Democrat told me that he's heard complaints from Washington lobbyists about getting "shaken down by Clinton Inc." with pressure to not only pony up for Hillary Clinton's campaign but also to chip in large sums to Bill Clinton's library and philanthropic foundation.
Stories already are appearing in major newspapers about Bill Clinton's mixing of business and politics, and about the tens of millions of dollars he has earned by making speeches around the world.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the former President stands to make $20 million as he unwinds a complicated business relationship with Yucaipa Cos., the investment firm of his longtime supporter, billionaire Ron Burkle, which has connections to the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum. [WSJ, Jan. 22, 2008]
The New York Times described the help Clinton gave Canadian mining financier Frank Giustra in securing a lucrative uranium deal with the repressive government of Kazakhstan in 2005, shortly before Giustra made an unreported $31.3 million donation to Clinton's foundation. [NYT, Jan. 31, 2008]
Clinton insiders are nervous, too, about possible Republican access to Secret Service records detailing the couple's movements over the past seven years.
Though some Democrats don't want to believe that George W. Bush would let political operatives exploit such confidential records, his father – President George H.W. Bush – green-lighted an illegal search of Bill Clinton's passport file in fall 1992. [See Robert Parry's Secrecy & Privilege."]
So, whether Democrats like it or not, they will have to evaluate the relative risks of Republican attacks on their presidential nominee. Either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can expect "the treatment," whether fairly or not.
That is part of the price American liberals and progressives have to pay because of their failure over the years to invest in information outlets that could create some balance between the media power of the Right and Left. [For details, see Consortiumnews.com's "The Left's Media Miscalculation."]
Part of that risk evaluation must be who can better survive the assaults: Hillary Clinton with the experience – as well as the scars – from the partisan battles of the 1990s, or Barack Obama, who may not be as battle-tested but who has demonstrated a rare ability to lift Americans out of the foul and muddy trenches of past political wars.

The Waukegan motorcycle accident attorneys of Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers represent the needs and interests of those who have been injured in preventable accidents. Motorcycles are among the most dangerous vehicles to operate due to the limited amount of protection afforded riders and the tendency of motorists to refuse to grant motorcyclists the space they are entitled to occupy on the road. Whenever a driver's negligent or reckless behavior harms others, it is the right of victims to seek compensation for the damages caused, which can include medical bills, lost wages, out of pocket expenses and pain and suffering.
Victim Resources:
Teen Death in Motorcycle Accident Sparks Concern
On October 15, 2015, a high school senior attending Zion-Benton Township High School died in a motorcycle accident in Waukegan that took place on Jackson Street; as he was headed southbound toward Washington Street. Anthony Young collided with two vehicles that were headed the opposite direction and died of his injuries. Young had aspirations of training to become a firefighter after his high school graduation.
The accident has some residents questioning whether teenagers should be allowed to have Class M drivers' licenses, which permit them to operate motorcycles and engine propelled scooters. Inexperience plays a large role in accidents involving teenagers and additional training may have provided the skills and strategies needed to prevent this fatality.
Common Causes of Motorcycle Accidents
The first step that our Waukegan motorcycle injury lawyers take when taking on a new case is to perform a thorough investigation to understand exactly what happened at the scene of the accident. This allows us to establish who was at fault for the accident and acquire the evidence needed to present a solid case before the court. Understanding common causes of motorcycle accidents can also help riders avoid accidents by increasing their awareness to the potential hazards they may encounter on the road. Following are some of the most common causes of motorcycle crashes.
- Driving at excessive speeds. Exceeding the speed limit doesn't just increase your risk of being in an accident. It also increases the severity of the injuries suffered by all parties involved.
- The distraction of technological devices. Studies have shown that the number of accidents and fatalities involving distracted drivers has risen sharply in recent years and this is due to increased texting and talking while driving. Putting your phone and other devices away while driving can save a life.
- Inexperienced drivers. Teenagers are more likely to be in accidents simply because they do not have as much driving experience as those who have been on the road for longer. They are also more likely to make poor decisions or to show off to others.
- Aggressive driving or road rage. Many drivers on the road react negatively to others for a variety of reasons and their aggressive behavior puts everyone around them at risk. When road rage leads to the injury or death of another person, the responsible driver needs to be held accountable for his or her actions.
Injuries Suffered in Motorcycle Crashes
Motorcycle injuries are much more severe due to the exposure that riders have to the world around them. Even the most advanced personal protection equipment only goes so far in protecting them in accidents that involve cars and large trucks. The most common injuries include the following.
- Fractures and shattered bones. It is not uncommon for motorcyclists to suffer multiple fractures during an accident, especially when they are thrown from their bikes or caught between moving objects.
- Traumatic brain injuries. Blows to the head can create micro tears inside of the brain and these injuries lead to the impairment of cognitive functions later on in life. It is important to always check for a TBI, even if you feel okay.
- Road rash. This condition refers to injuries that are caused by friction burns that occur when the victim's skin is dragged along the pavement. Ranging in severity, these injuries can cause deep tissue damage and pose the risk of infection when contaminated with debris.
- Injuries to the neck, back and spine can result in temporary or permanent paralysis. The cost of caring for a loved one who has been paralyzed can easily exceed millions of dollars over his or her lifetime.
Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers is an award winning personal injury law firm that has helped thousands of clients recover the compensation they are entitled to following an accident that was the result of another person's poor decisions. If you've been injured in an accident, contact us today to arrange a free consultation with one of our qualified and experienced Waukegan motorcycle accident attorneys so that we can review your legal options and answer any questions you might have about the legal process.

This board highlights bound buttonhole details I put to use on my 1935 Beach Dress:
I outlined my photos with text and illustrations from Dressmaking Made Easy, by The McCall Pattern Company, 1946. I have a couple additional tips I recommend when working with the binding of each buttonhole you are welcome to access via pdf here. Click image to get larger views:
More 40's and 50's multi-size patterns are yet on their way this year to include these two! My work continued on each this week, expecting to have the 50's halter/bodice pattern tested and ready to go by April's end. It will be some time before I have the junior size blouses pattern tested out and ready for issue, but I will announce here:
This week's work will involve hand-drafting more originals to add to my multi-size line later this and into next year. As well, you get the hint by now that my work is not linear as I must toggle between different projects. Expect to see more progress on my 1869 sheer dress and the 1935 beach dress!

A Guest Post by Misho Baranovic – author of our new iPhone Photography eBook.
The iPhone has revolutionised the ability to shoot, edit and share your photographs on one device. For many photographers, both amateur and professional, this integrated process has given them the freedom to experiment both within and across photographic styles.
To show you what's possible with the iPhone, we've put together a showcase of talented photographers who use the iPhone as part of their photographic process. The photographers are from all corners of the world and span different styles including: landscape, portraiture (self and street), nature and wildlife, architecture, travel, street photography (colour and black and white), conceptual and documentary.
Four of the photographers shown below (Robert-Paul Jansen, AikBeng Chia, Oliver Lang and Benedicte Guillon) are featured in our new iPhone Photography eBook. If you are interested in understanding not on the shooting and editing techniques, but also the motivation behind using an iPhone for photography – then the book is for you.
Since picking up his very first camera over 25 years ago, Jim Darling has been drawn to the faces and stories of people he meets. According to Darling, "using just the iPhone and any number of great photography apps, the stranger/street portrait enters a whole new level. I love the spontaneity and the quick relationship that exists between me and the subject."
More of Jim Darling's work can be found on his website.
Robert-Paul Jansen is a Dutch photographer who uses an iPhone to take magical landscape photographs in the countryside around his home in the small village of Gemonde. Jansen started shooting on his iPhone because of convenience "the camera I always have in my pocket has shown me more small miracles, more tiny details, than I ever thought possible."
You can find more of Jansen's photography on his website.
Benedicte Guillon is masterful in her use of natural light to paint unique scenes, whether travelling the world or at home in Paris. According to Guillon, she uses an iPhone as part of her photographic process when travelling because it "allows me to feel my very first impressions when I arrive in a new place. The fact that it is the most compact camera I have makes me feel more comfortable shooting with it during the first days. I'm able to start exploring the area in a way that helps me to learn about people and the way they live."
More of Benedicte Guillon's work can be found on her website.
Kaisa and Stanley Breeden, based in tropical far-north Queensland, Australia, are usually known for their incredibly detailed focus stacking photography, as seen in their books Wildflower Country and Rainforest Country. They have recently branched out into iPhoneography, inspired by the way the device and its many photography apps encourage people to look differently at the world around them.
More of Stanley and Kaisa Breeden's work can be found on their website.
Richard "Koci" Hernandez is a national Emmy® award-winning video and multimedia producer who worked as a photographer at the San Jose Mercury News for 15 years. In 2007 after taking his first mobile photograph, he was hooked on the medium's potential and immediacy, "not only is it the camera in my hand, but it's the printing press in my pocket and more importantly, with the rise of social networks like Instagram, it's become my satellite dish in order to instantly transmit, globally. I can share my vision at the touch of a button and receive instant feedback".
More of Koci's photography is available on his Flickr.
Oliver Lang is a Sydney based street photographer. He shoots with a mobile phone for the convenience and connectivity. He is also interested in participatory photography and the innovations that the connected culture of mobile photography is driving.
You can find more of Oliver Lang's work on his website.
Greg Schmigel is not an iPhoneographer, rather a street photographer who happens to use an iPhone as his main camera of choice. Schmigel is inspired by a variety of photographers, both old and new, including: Garry Winogrand, Vivian Maier, Jules Aarons, Tim Cadman and many more. Schmigel was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1969, but has spent the majority of his life in and around the Washington, DC, Metropolitan area.
You can find more of Greg Schmigel's photography on his website.
Klaudia Cechini is a Polish photographer who uses her iPhone for self-portraiture. Her images are often self-reflective; a visual expression of a personal emotion or feeling. Cechini notes that "It is about catching every day moments which fail to be expressed adequately by words".
More of Klaudia Cechini's self-portraits can be found on her Flickr.
AikBeng Chia wanders the Singapore back streets at all hours of the day and night looking for interesting people, traditions, and stories. According to Chia, he uses his iPhone as part of his documentary photography because "it phone helps your subject to be at ease with you. Most of the people I meet are amazed and curious that I use such a small device to capture photos instead of a DSLR or a rangefinder".
Here are three images from AikBeng Chia's "Will you still love me tomorrow" series about the dying art of Chinese Street Opera in Singapore.
You can find more information on this series in this blog post. For more of AikBeng Chia's photographs, visit his website.
Dan Cole is a Seattle-area photographer who is using his iPhone to take architectural photographs, which he shares on Instagram to his over 100,000 followers.
Dan was educated at the Art Institute of Seattle and University of Washington, and has worked as an artist in the game industry for over 14 years. He has been pursuing photography since 2005, and has been an engaged member of the Instagram community since October of 2010.
You can find more of Dan Cole's images on his website.

You left out my favorite: Dan Burkholder. Great body of work, and his book -"iPhone Artisry"- is a must-have for creative iPhone photographers.
I teach digital photography and photoshop to children as young as 6 and all the way to seniors in their 70s. It is fun to be spontaneous with my phone and not lug my serious camera around with all that entails. But to pay attention to composition and framing, as well as lines, concept etc a phone is a poor tool and mine is way off on color. As my students say it is not just a pretty picture and that's why I weigh in with those who question the emphasis on iPhone itself rather than the greatest distinction of all photography ~ the moment.
I sue my iPhone to take pictures. I shoot anything that I think it must be seen by the world
Congratulations.. nice collection.. started using an iPhone only recently and enjoying it. It is back to the early days of owning a leica..
Great collection you have here. I just want to share my iPhone photo.
I used to shoot with iPhone and loved it. But now, I'm using the Galaxy SIII and I'm still happy. :) I wish there will be a book on mobile phone photography in general. ",)
Nice pictures posted here ! :)
this are mine:
This album highlights my iPhonography journey for 2012

I love the ability to be spontaneous with my iPhone4S. The attached photo was taken this summer in Southwest france at about 10:00 p,m. [eimg link='http://www.flickr.com/photos/carlcoan/7980840407/' title='Evening Light' url='http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8455/7980840407_8b9ef0f4fa_c.jpg']
Just look up my profile on instagram - serzhanja. Candid, street, something for everyone, and shot with a tablet Galaxy Tab 10.1. Edited with aviary and instagram ONLY.
You'll like it.
Starting to get into a bit more candid and street photography (although more indoor photography) with my iPhone. It's a fun distraction while not using my proper camera.
Hey Christina and Mridula - we'd be happy to feature a similar post on other types of phone shots if someone wants to submit one. We're certainly not saying iPhones are the only way to go but as our book is an iPhone book I guess we're featuring them at the moment. Our reasoning for only doing an iPhone book at this stage is that we felt we could go into more depth by focusing on one type of phone rather than doing a general and therefore shallow depth one on all phones.
While these are amazing, I completely agree with Mridula and raghavendra. I'm really tired of the rest of us non- iphone users being completely left out in the cold. It's like a ridiculous mean girls clique or something. Enough.
People can consider mobile photography with their phone and their megapixel camera. Why stick it to iphone alone? I have seen a lot of people taking photographs from various mobiles.
Great photographs are indeed all about the person behind the camera (or phone).
Not bad for an iPhone, especially the low light photos. Given the number of black and white photos, I'd bet these went thru significant processing.
While these are great pictures, I don't really see why the iPhone gets any of the glory. The camera is just a tool, the photographer still need to make the pictures what they are.
I doubt it would've hurt any of these pictures if they were taken on a DSLR instead, though. Some could have really benefit from a better depth of field, etc.
I do share some iPhone photographs in my daily postings on my site though recently the majority have been with my DSLR.
However, not too long ago I wrote a post titled What Exactly is iPhoneography Anyway? sprinkled with some of my favorite clicks with the device. Feel free to check it out here - http://www.phogropathy.com/what-exactly-is-iphoneography-anyway/
Goes to show that the camera is a tool in the hands of the artist.
Nice selection of photographs! I have the ebook, and it actually convinced me to switch from shooting with Camera+ to ProCamera instead...definitely a better app.
Lovely picture indeed. But why only iPhone and not cell phone in general?

I'm most often found programming either for work or fun, listening to an eclectic range of music, out with friends, out at events or just kicking back and watching a movie.
For those interested, my love-affair programming language is Python, but for work I'm typically found using C# and other .NET stuff. In my free time, I'm an enthusiastic Linux proponent, hell-bent on the success of Free and Open Source Software for the good of everyone.

Google and Volvo's self-driving cars have been making headlines with the number of miles they've driven without a traditional driver at the wheel. Now Stanford's Dynamic Design Lab has teamed up with Volkswagen's Electronics Research Lab to create a self-driving Audi TTS named Shelly – and it just hit 120 mph on a racetrack! Unlike Google's Toyota Prius or the long-distance self-driving cars from Volvo, Stanford's Audi TTS focuses its attention on all-out-speed.
The Audi TTS recently hit the track at Thunderhill Raceway, north of Sacramento, California where it was able to reach a speed of 120 mph. The Audi also managed to lap the 3-mile course in less than 2-1/2 minutes, which is a time that's pretty close to those posted by professional drivers. Stanford's Dynamic Design Lab brought the Audi TTS to the track to further tweak her responses, like when to brake, how tight to take turns, and when to punch the gas. Currently humans are still a bit faster around the track than the self-driving Audi TTS.
"Human drivers are very, very smooth," mechanical engineering Associate Professor Chris Gerdes said. Shelley computes the fastest line around a course and executes the exact corrections required to stick to it. A person relies more on feel and intuition, and thus may, for example, allow the car to swing too wide in one turn if he knows it sets him up better for the next."
Gerdes and the Dynamic Design Lab are now focusing their attention on human race car drivers to figure out exactly what makes them so successful. Even though its highly unlikely that future autonomous cars will need to reach speeds over 100 mph, the research will further pave the way for standard cars that are able to maneuver their drivers out of harms way.

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Friday requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to issue instructions to commence construction of the National Institute of New Energy and Innovation (NINEI) in the state's capital city at the earliest.
In a letter to the Prime Minister, Patnaik also requested that he direct the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy to re-open the regional office at Bhubaneswar.
"The construction of the institute near IIT, Bhubaneswar has not yet been taken up despite grant of advance possession of the required land. In the meantime, Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has issued an order dated November 10, 2017, to close down the Regional Office at Bhubaneswar with immediate effect," said Patnaik.
He said the closure of the regional office may hamper the progress of establishment of National Institute of New Energy and Innovation at Bhubaneswar.
While commending the initiative of Central government to establish this institute of national repute in the state for promoting cutting edge R&D activities in the field of renewable energy, the state government had committed to provide the necessary infrastructure support for this prestigious project in the state.
"The state government has already allocated 73.68 acres of land near IIT, Bhubaneswar for the institute," said the Chief Minister.

'All I Can' Ski Movie Premiere – Best Movie Ever?
Several weeks ago, I was able to attend the Bozeman premier of "All I Can" by Sherpas Cinema, a production company based out of Whistler, British Columbia. Leading up the evening of the screening, I had heard many rumors floating about regarding this particular flick. My friends had been saying things like "The best ski movie of all time", and "The Art of Flight of Skiing but better!" As I had never experienced any of Sherpas Cinema's previous works, I did not know what to expect.
The movie showed at the Emerson Theatre and began much like any other ski movie premier with a gear toss, hooting, hollering and all the usual shenanigans accompanying antsy powder junkies (of the cold fluffy sort). The lights dimmed; the crowd settled and the audience sank down into the chairs for the ride. The movie was composed in 6 different chapters, each touching on a different aspect of ski culture, and the nature of the beast within us that drives each of us snow lovers into the wild places to find the white room. The film was tied together meticulously with beautiful cinematography and awing imagery, as well as a tangible plot line and even a touch of moral responsibility. One of the chapters discussed generations and how skiing has tied many together in one family, and how we must as a family work to protect the places we go to get away into our skiing place. There was of course plenty of epic powder shots, sick airs, pencil thin chutes in the middle of nowhere and even a whole part dedicated to JP Auclair bridging the gap between the mountain and urban geography.
"All I Can" can definitely be added to the must see list, alongside "Art of Flight" for super epic snow sports movies of the season. Get stoked, its snowing outside folks.

MAMA ISA'S PASTA AL FORNO (Baked Pasta) - Recipe by Mama Isa
INGREDIENTS (serves 6 -7 people)
(Pasta al forno is traditionally considered a PRIMO PIATTO in Italy, but it's a meal in itself!!!)
500 g short, dried pasta (I only use Gragnano pasta which may take also 12-15 minutes to cook, tubular pastas like Rigatoni)
1 recipe of Mama Isa's Bolognese sauce (in Italian Ragù alla Bolognese)
1 recipe of Mama Isa's Béchamel sauce (in Italian Besciamella)
100 g grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese( aged 24 months) plus a bit more for topping
salt to taste
a few pats of unsalted butter
Cook the pasta in well salted water as you normally would (al dente) and drain the pasta into a colander.
Pour the drained pasta into a large bowl, add the meat sauce (Ragù Bolognese sauce) and mix well. Then add half of Béchamel sauce (if the bésciamelle is a bit dry or sticky, add some milk), add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano, and mix.
Take a large baking dish and pour a few pats of unsalted butter here and there and 4-5 spoonfuls of Béchamel. Pout the contents of the large bowl into a baking dish. Top with all the Béchamel and a few pats of butter here and there.
Taste and adjust for seasoning; the mixture should be quite savory.
Preheat the oven (200 °C).
Bake in a hot oven (200°C) for about 30 minutes, until the top is nicely golden - browned.
Let the dish rest at least 5 minutes before serving and if you like, add more Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese grated on the top.
Serve warm!
TIP: Baked Pasta can also be made in advance and served for parties or on picnics

About Me
Hello, my name is Natacha, and I just love animals. My favorite animal is the Amur Tiger, but every type other type of cats counts too. I live in Thailand, and I am a sixth grader in AITIS. My hobby is to read, draw, and watch YouTube videos, or just spend an hour playing with Fussy. I really admire the environment in AIT, specially the birds(my favorite is the myna bird). But I hate it when I see people cutting down trees, it's just horrible! Trees are my favorite, they provide shelter to many species of animals including birds, and insects.
Speaking of Insects, I want to tell you about my favorite type of insect, the beetle. In grade 4, I've got my first pet beetle, I named it Beetley. I've even cried when it died. I've been addicted to searching for more beetles around trees, and I've noticed how beautiful trees really are. I really admire the environment, living, and non-living things, and I hope you think the same. Anyway that's all about me. I'll be talking more about me and my love for the environment in my upcoming posts, be sure to visit my page weekly to see some cat quotes only cat lovers will understand. Thank you!

If you read the 'about me' post, you'd probably notice that I admire the environment a lot, but I'd also mention that my favorite animal is the Amur Tiger, and all species in the cat family. That is why my avatar is a picture of a cat.
My personality is not like a cat, because in my opinion cats are the closest creatures to gods. So my avatar does not represent me, because I am not god. My avatar is just a picture of a cat because I love cats.
If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much.
You can not look at a sleeping cat and feel tense.
A cat purring on your lap is more healing than any drug in the world, as the vibrations you are receiving are of pure love and contentment.
People that hate cats will come back as mice in their next life.
Cats rub their face against objects to claim them as their property, when a cat rubs against your face, you are considered their family.
As Every Cat Owner Knows, No One Owns a Cat.
Sometimes The Smallest Things Can Take Up The Most Room in Your Heart.
Time Spent With Cats is Never Wasted.

I haven't had the chance to watch this on tv on the date it was showed because I need to sleep so I could come to work at night. Upon watching this video I was so kilig. Then I read some of the comments posted on YouTube. There are people who were like me who support this love story and happy for both Mariel and Robin. Since they are part of the show-business they cannot scape from intrigues. There are people who find this interview as a tactic to help their noontime show to get more viewer for them to get high ratings. Well I don't believed it. I don't care what will people think but as far as this issue is concern if they are really in love with each other then so be it. We better support them rather than intrigue them. Also privacy is very important.Though Mariel and Robin were public personalities, they are still humans and it is there right to respected so let's still give then the respect that they deserve.

Just call me Blithe. I have started this page in 2007 as a personal blog. I went on a hiatus for a few years and now I am back. It's always been my dream to travel everywhere. In this journal I have documented all my travel experiences and activities. My goal is to explore the hidden beauties of this country one step at a time.

Three Things: Carolina 82, BC 70
Carolina bounced back with a 12-point win on the road in the ACC. It wasn't pretty, but it's the result that counts. Here's three quick takeaways.
1. P.J.'s spark and injury
Win or lose, this was going to be the storyline following Carolina's trip to BC. Hairston provided the spark off the Tar Heel bench, with four three-point field goals in less than four game minutes. Hairston contributed 14 points (4-4 from 3 and 2-3 from the free throw line) before leaving the game after a collision with Dexter Strickland with four minutes to go in the first half. He'd shared the ball, too, with three assists, including finding Reggie Bullock and Desmond Hubert on consecutive possessions.
Hairston remained on the floor for several minutes before being diagnosed with a concussion. He did not return to the game.
2. Strickland scoring again
As much as any Tar Heel, it seems that Dexter Strickland's entire game is elevated when he's scoring the basketball. Dexter broke out of a recent slump with 14 points, five assists and a pair of rebounds Tuesday evening. He did a good job directing the Tar Heel attack when Marcus Paige went to the bench as well. Not traditionally a great free throw shooter, Dexter was 6-6 at the line on Tuesday.
3. Simmons' impact continues
It was a simple play, but Jackson Simmons tapped a missed Dexter Strickland shot (a fadeaway jumper from 19 feet late in the shot clock) with 2:14 to play and the Tar Heels holding a 10-point lead. The shot clock reset, and Carolina eventually maintained possession after a held ball. That sequence ended when Simmons found his way under the basket and scored two points on a goaltending call. The tap was a simple play, sure, but a big one, and exemplary of Simmons' impact of late. On the night he displayed a nice shooting touch and the ability to find his way to the rim for offensive rebounds and put-backs. Nothing glamorous, sure, but impactful nonetheless.
Troy1. PJ is the fire of this team, hope he's alright, and soon.
2. Nice game by Dexter, unfortunate for that left elbow. But how many points came after the PJ incident? Maybe that helped Dexter out and as long as PJ is ok, this could be great!
3. Jackson is due a nickname now, if he doesn't already have one, Action Jackson!?!
