You can really get a lot of fulfillment out of photography. To get the most out of photography, it's a good idea to do a little studying and practice some specific techniques. You will find some good advice here on how to get the shots you are hoping for.
When you are photographing nature, steer clear of taking photos that include a sky that is overcast. Too much gray sky showing in a photo makes it appear washed-out and muted. If you still want to take pictures of an overcast sky, try a black and white feature. If it's a bright day, however, you should include the sky more readily.
Choose what will be in the picture. Your picture should be composed in such a way that it gives some insight into your subject. Avoid the desire to show more than is needed. To give a general impression of a subject, take a different pictures and organize them in a series rather than trying to capture everything in one picture.
To get a high quality image, you will need a good camera. The best photographs will come from a dSLR camera. Most professional photographers use these, so you need one too if you want to produce the same quality in your pictures that the experts do.
Get a professional camera to take quality pictures. To get great shots, you are going to have to start looking at a digital SLR camera. Pro photographers don't settle for anything less than a DSLR, so neither should you.
Depth is an important feature to incorporate in your landscape images. Have a person or other object put into the foreground in order to gauge the overall scale of the image. To gain sharper images, adjust your aperture to a smaller setting; try f/16 for full-frame single lens reflex cameras and f/8 for the more standard digital ones.
Check out what other photographers are doing to get ideas to improve your own photography. Looking at the work of other photographers will remind you that there are endless ways to capture a moment.
Adjust the white balance on your camera manually when possible. Indoor lighting will often be tainted with yellow tints from bulbs and flourescent fixtures. If you adjust your camera's white balance, you will have better results with indoor shots. It most definitely will create a more professional look to your photos.
Despite the general view that sun-filled days make for good pictures, the reality is that a sunlit day can make for bad pictures It casts strange shadows and creates glare, also causing uneven highlights; not only that, but subjects squint when looking at the camera. Try to shoot in the early morning light or right as the sun has started to set for best results.
Use different colors, features, and angles with your camera. You do not need an original object to take a high-quality picture. A good photographer is able to take a dull object and turn it into something interesting to look at, due to the skills and talent that the photographer possesses. You will find your own style as you experiment.
Often a photographer will be so concerned with a landscape background that he neglects the details in the foreground. However, this is the first place the viewer's eye will land. Compose the frame in such a way as to make the foreground as important to the image as the background is to create a truly striking photo.
Many digital cameras are made with a built-in flash that will pop up automatically when the lighting is dimmer. The convenience of this feature can be great for quick candid shots; however, if your goal is more professional shots, weigh options for the purchase of an external flash option. This will allow greater diversity in your lighting needs. Find out if your camera comes with a "hot shoe" attached to the top that will allow an external flash to be attached. If you are not familiar with cameras, consider going to a professional to ensure you have purchased an external unit that is compatible with your camera.
Memory Card
There are many different techniques and nostalgic concepts that come along with film photography, if you would like to give this challenge a try, buy a film camera to start your analog journey. Try getting some black and white film that has a ISO 200 rating; it is the best for all situations. When you have the film developed, have it printed on some different kinds of papers.
Take a lot of photos when you are trying to improve your skills, but buy a memory card with a large storage space. If you have a memory card with a large storage space, your card can hold a lot of photos. Another advantage of a large memory card is you can shoot in RAW format, which allows the most flexibility during post-production.
When taking photos of any kind, always seek out any and all kinds of patterns. Patterns that repeat make very interesting subjects for photography. Sometimes, you can even integrate the pattern into your shot, either by taking it at a new angle or perspective, adding a dynamic element.
If you like the old style that is associated with using a camera that uses film then you should pick one up from a secondhand store and see how you like it. You can create a dramatic look by choosing monochromatic film. Ideally, your film should be rated at least 200 ISO, which is sufficient for most circumstances. By getting your single prints on multiple types of paper, you can view the differences and decide which you prefer.
Choosing a low quality setting allows you to store more pictures on your camera. However, the quality of your pictures will suffer from it. Use lower settings if you plan on strictly keeping your pictures on a computer, instead of printing them.
Experience with the composition of your photographs to create unique shots, artistic photos and perfectly posed pictures. Just like artwork in other media, a poorly-composed photograph will never reach its full potential. When you want to improve your photography skills, learn, study and apply all you can about proper composition.
When you have a terrific photo opportunity, don't let the moment pass and lose the photo while you are busy adjusting settings. You don't want a preset where the camera chooses your settings. Know your options, and choose a setting that lets you switch certain elements you wish to control.
If you intend to travel soon, make a mental list of landmarks or other objects that you want to shoot. To get some pointers on where to start, head to the nearest postcard rack. Study the postcards, taking note of the subject matter and the way the photographer shot the pictures to take advantage of some specific qualities of the subject, then use these techniques when taking your own photos.
Shoot your subjects from a variety of angles to find a unique perspective. Unique angles bring a new dimension into your photography. View your potential shots from above the subject or from ground level upwards. A more intriguing photo results from catching the subject in a diagonal or side angle.
Never underestimate the advantages of natural light in your photo compositions. If you want to take pictures outside, do it early in the morning or late in the afternoon. When the sun is at its highest, it can cast unwanted shadows, and your subject could end up squinting due to the strong light. Position yourself so that your subject has it's side to the sun.
Do all of your photo editing alone. There is a vast number of image editing software to choose from. Search for one that offers extensive options for editing your existing photographs. Use one that you may use easily too!
When taking photos of any kind, always seek out any and all kinds of patterns. Patterns, especially repeating ones, make photographs much more interesting to view. They can be used to your advantage; place them in the background of a picture to add interesting angles.
Filters are an easy way to improve the function of a lens. The filter screws onto the lens, and they have varied purposes. UV filters are generally the most used type of filter. This will prevent direct sunlight from damaging your lens. The damage incurred by dropping your camera is also reduced when you have a filter.
One of the best ways to improve your shots is to purchase a tripod. The effects of unsteady hands are noticeable when pictures are taken of motion at low speeds. An inexpensive tripod will help you prevent any blurring of your subject. A tripod will improve your photo results and reduce unexpected results.
You can put a new spin on an old subject, by photographing it from different angles or using different camera features. Experiment with these options prior to taking actual photographs so that you have a better handle on how they will affect the shot.
Your camera is a tool that is used for your photos, so use it as such. Switching to a shallow field depth will blur the background and make your central subject stand out.
Red eye is a minor detail but it can really ruin an otherwise noteworthy picture. Red eye can be avoided by staying away from using the flash, or having your subject look away from the camera if flash is a necessity. Some cameras are also equipped with an easy to use red eye feature.
Shoot up from a low level to prompt a subject to look more powerful and large. Shoot a picture from above to make a subject look smaller and weaker. Finding the appropriate times to implement these techniques will take practice and experimentation.
You should be aware of the sharpness of your frame of view at all times. Most of the time, the most sharpness will be seen towards the median of your image and lens. Then it will start distorting as it gets to the outer edges of your camera frame.
Get close to the subject of your photograph. When framing, try to move or zoom in close to the subject. Fill as much of the frame as possible with your subject. If there is too much in the background, it will make the regular picture too cluttered. Also, the closer your subject, the more subtle details are noticeable.
A tripod is helpful for getting a good shot of a landscape. Tripods provide a steady base and are handy for taking any kind of landscape shot. It will prevent your camera from shaking as you adjust settings during the shot. This steady base can improve any shot taken with the use of a tripod.
If you plan to shoot images in dimly lit settings, increase the shutter speed on your camera. This will stop the picture from coming out blurred. Try selecting a speed of 1/250 to start with and change it depending on the light.
Before you start snapping pictures, come up with a concept. Take some time to write ideas and notes that you could use for shooting better photos. Photography is just like art; it shows when attention to detail and a well-conceived plan are executed. This will inspire you to produce great results when you approach it this way.
To take great shots in low light, lower the aperture, or what is referred to as the f/stop setting. When you increase it, your aperture will be wider and will give you more light when you're taking a photograph.
Remember that there is more to a person than just their face when you are taking a photo of them. The entire human body and its individual parts can provide inspiration for amazing photographs.
If you want to be good at photography, you will have do some research and put in effort so that you can get outstanding results. Some tips can give your shots immediate improvement, but other tips may require you to take a certain amount of practice shots in order to see good progress. Above all, though you are serious about your practice, keep the joy in your art. Keep the advice in this article in mind to achieve photography success.
Don't fall into the habit of taking all of your photographs with the camera in its standard horizontal position. Vertical shots can produce some excellent looking photographs. Zooming in is necessary for shots where you want to see specific details of a subject, and zooming out is necessary to capture a subject's entire body.

Heavenly Wang At The Red House (Katong)
Have you ever met someone who looked familiar and you thought you must have met him/her somewhere. Perhaps, a stranger who you got together so well the first time you strike a conversation with? That's what it's like to me when Heavenly Wang's operated at the iconic Red House along East Coast Road in Katong.
The Red House was formerly occupied by Katong Bakery & Confectionary in the early 1920s and seized operations in the early 2000s. While Wang Cafés history can be traced back to the 1950s and was called Wang Jiao "旺角", which literally means "Prosperous Corner". How apt is that when Wang Cafe decided to take over and revive the lustrous glory of The Red House.
Heavenly Wang is a place for local traditional toast and pastry, aromatic coffee (kopi) and tea, as well as local classics such as Mee Siam and Mee Rebus.
If soft cakes and pastries aren't enough, you can give the assorted biscuits a try! Nicely packed in convenient plastic containers, it's as easy as grab and go (and pay)!
You can check out their full menu here.
The facade and much of the interior design are closely replicated like the good old days and certainly nostalgic for those who frequented here in the past. Apart from being in an iconic building with rich history, there are many outlets island wide for all you fans of Heavenly Wang.

If you can heat the milk without any failure, this kheer is rescued dessert at anytime to try in microwave. Whether is cold outside or hot, a versatile drink, yes, it could be enjoyed cold or hot depending upon season or mood.
This Badam kheer could be thick or thin depending how much almond you add it.
Some facts of Almond and California: California produces 80% of world's almond due to the climate condition, some other crops are walnuts, kiwi and avocado. California ships 70% of total crop worldwide. The almond field stretches more than 500 miles in Central Valley of California. In 2002, a record of 1.084 billion pounds of almond was harvested! That should have been a flood of almond everywhere!
Usually, I get some fresh crop in the month of Oct to Jan, in my local farmer market or even in the grocery store. You can really feel the quality of nuts in CA but in India nuts are always expensive!
Before anyone goes nuts with my post, Here the recipe:
Microwave Badam Kheer/Almond drink
Microwave cooking time: 10 minutes (one of the highest cooking time, among the microwave recipes I have done)
Almonds: 25 counts (if you decrease the milk will be thin or decrease nuts if u use full cream milk)
Milk I used 2%: 2 cups (keep ½ cup separate to grind the almonds)
Sugar: ¼ cup (If you want a mild taste use 2 to3 tbsp what I did)
Chironji/Charoli/Saara payir: few to garnish
Blanching the almond first:
Take a bowl – put the almonds and some water (appro ¾ cup) until the nuts are drown.
Keep in microwave for 2 minutes.
Take out and keep it aside
Next take a big microwave safe bowl, pour 1 ½ cup of milk and keep 4 minutes in microwave.
Remove the boiling milk bowl and keep it aside.
Now, see if u can handle the almonds, just squeeze the nuts, it should slide easily out. Rinse in water and add the almonds in small blender/mixie jar with ½ cup of milk , grind into little coarse paste.
Add the almond paste in hot milk and mix it. Keep another 3 minutes.
Take out add the sugar and mix well- keep another 1 or 2 minutes.
Garnish with the Chironji nuts and serve hot or cold !
Warning: Need plenty of attention after 4 minutes of milk boiling, It may overflow!
Note: if you want richer, use full cream milk and can reduce the almond or even use evaporated milk, saffron, cardamom too.
But the badam kheer is one of simplest drink that every mom does with few available ingredients available in her pantry.
Everyone would have guessed, the Badam kheer is reaching MEC-Payasam/kheer hosted by Jayasree , event originated by Srivalli!
There is no complicated step, a sweet recipe for Varsha who is hosting Recipes for the rest of us: dessert , created By Ramki
Kheer is pretty popular in Northern India, reaching RCI-Haryana hosted by EC, event originated by Laksmi

Happy Alone Valentines Day
So I was looking forward to spending this Valentines day with someone special, but as usual I screwed it up again. I moved too fast for her. We are still friends but I think that's about it. I will be alone again for V-Day, it shouldn't be a big surprise though. I am trying to stay positive through the loneliness.

One item that most everybody is sure to have in the house is tin cans. Unless you eat straight from the garden, you are bound to have at least a couple of cans in your pantry. Instead of throwing the cans out or dropping them in your recycle bin when they are empty, you may want to think about a different type of recycling.It's called making something fun, decorative and useful out of your…..well…I'll just say it – trash! Basically, turning trash to treasure.
My favorite can crafts are the ones that are useful in the home. A pencil holder is a great example of an item that can be widely used. A tin can is a perfect size for making a decorative pencil holder. All you have to do is decorate it the style that you like. Since I like rustic and shabby chic, I came up with three different designs of storage caddies in those styles. The caddies can be used in an office, craft room, or any other area of the home where you need a little organization.
I'll go over the instructions of each holder individually starting with the newspaper print pencil holder.
I chose an aged newspaper print craft paper to use with this can thinking that it would go nicely in an office to hold pencils and pens. The rustic looking safety pin is tied around the middle of the can with jute string for a little extra embellishment. Here is what I did:
Materials Needed:
- cream colored acrylic paint
- paint brush
- decorative craft paper
- Mod Podge matte finish
- paint brush for Mod Podge application
- jute string
- antique looking safety pin for Jim Holtz or other charm
- glossy varnish
1. First, I painted the entire can with a cream colored acrylic paint and let it dry.
2. I found the craft paper that I wanted to use and measured the distance around the can. I cut the craft paper to the length I needed. Next, I measured the width of the can and tore the top and bottom edges of the, to size, to give them a rough unfinished edge. I wanted some of the white paint to show at the top and bottom of my craft paper.
3. When the paint was dry, I applied a coat of Mod Podge to the entire can. I then applied a coat of the Mod Podge to the back of the craft paper and carefully adhered the paper to the can, rubbing the paper smooth as I applied. Once I was happy with the paper application, I applied another coat of Mod Podge over the top of the paper.
4. After the Mod Podge was dry, I applied a coat of glossy varnish.
5. Finally, I added a jump ring to the safety pin and threaded it through a section of jute string and tied it around the middle of the can.
This next can I thought would be fun to leave mainly silver and add a silver handle and some silver jewelry embellishments. Just a little bit of burlap offsets the layers of silver and adds a little shabby feel.
Materials Needed:
- 12 gauge aluminum floral wire
- jewelry chain
- tin snips
- 2 jump rings
- E6000 craft glue
- burlap garland trim
- silver leaf charm
- crop a dile hole punch or other tin hole puncher
1. Use your tin hole punch to punch a hole in either side of the tin can. I had to first fold up the lip of the inside top of the can, with pliers,to fit the tool over the edge. Although, it was still a smooth finish on the inside edge after doing this, I still applied some snow-tex around the inner lip to coat the metal. The snow-tex hardens to look just like a white plaster and provides a safe edge without any jagged metal.
2. Cut a section of floral wire that is long enough for a handle plus some length, about two extra inches, for looping through holes and twisting.
3. Insert one end of wire through one of the holes in tin. Push through hole about two inches and bend up to meet rest of wire. Loop the short end around the long piece and twist together several times. You will have to use a pliers for the last twist so that it fits nice and close. Now insert the other end of the wire through the other hole and do the same thing.
4. Cut a two inch wide piece of burlap garland the length of the distance around your can. Wrap this around the can and glue both ends at the back with E6000 craft glue.
5. Cut a section of jewelry chain, with tin snips, to fit around your can loosely. Wrap around your can and secure the two ends together, at the back, with a jump ring. Glue the chain at the back with E6000 craft glue and let it hang loosely at front.
6. Apply a leaf or other charm to the front of the chain with a jump ring.
I had started this last can when I made my recycled six pack storage caddies. At that time, I had distressed painted the can and tied it off with raffia. For extra embellishment, I just added the bark covered wire and the two wooden buttons.
Materials Needed:
- cream color acrylic paint
- rust metallic paint
- Weathered Wood
- tree branch slices or other buttons
- raffia
- bark covered wire
- drill
1. Paint the entire can with cream color acrylic paint.
2. After paint is dry, paint over the surface with the Weathered Wood. It comes in the same type of bottle as the small acrylic paints and is found in the same section as the paints.
3. When the Weathered Wood is dry, paint over some sections with your rust metallic paint.
4. If you are using wood slices for buttons, drill a couple of small holes into each disc so that they look like buttons. Glue these or other buttons onto your can.
5. Tie raffia around the upper can and secure with glue.
6. Use a drill or tin hole punch to punch a hole into either side of the tin can.
7. Cut a section of bark covered wire that is long enough for a handle plus two inches longer on each side.
8. Loop each end through a hole two inches and twist around the longer length.
Now you have three ideas for different looks you can get from can crafts used for pencil holders/storage caddies. How might you use these in your home?

IT'S SHOWTIME! | Betty Blue Eyes
Show week is finally here and we open at The Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks TONIGHT, Thursday 11 May! Make sure you've got your tickets for Betty Blue Eyes, a hilarious musical from Stiles & Drewe (Half A Sixpence, Honk!) based on Alan Bennett's 'A Private Function'.
It's 1947 and belts are being tightened across Britain as the long-suffering citizens are promised fair shares for all. Amid rationing and a freezing cold winter there is a new arrival in town – Betty, an adorable blue eyed pig, who is being illegally reared to ensure the local dignitaries can celebrate the Royal Wedding with a lavish banquet. However, the rest of the community has other ideas for Betty's fate and hilarity ensues!
10 Days To Go! | BETTY BLUE EYES
It's now May and we are officially on the final countdown before show week starts! It's just 10 days until our first performance of Betty Blue Eyes at The Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks!
Today we performed at the Petts Wood May Fayre, to give the local community a taste of what we've been up to, and to show them just how much we love the fantastic Stiles & Drewe music of Betty Blue Eyes.
11 – 13 May 2017
The Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks

During the ongoing power outage many are struggling to maintain a safe level of power in their cell phone battery. It is important to have the ability to send and receive phone calls during the state of emergency. Here are some ways to improve the longevity of your power for your basic or smartphone.
Obviously, the most effective way to save battery is to turn the phone off. Unless you have to use your device as an alarm clock, make sure you turn your phone off at night. Most likely you won't be using your phone during this time so shut it off to conserve. A battery will still drain a very small amount with the phone off. In real emergency instances remove the battery from the phone completely to hold the most power in the battery.
If you are in an area that receives poor signal either shut off the phone or put it in airplane mode to prevent constant searching for a better link to the towers. There are tools that can boost signal in certain locations if they are places that you often need to have use of your phone.
Although vibrate can be a helpful feature to use when you don't want your phone making a lot of noise, it uses a larger amount of power than when you have it set to ring. Turn off the vibrate as a ring or notification alert and also turn off the vibrate feedback that occurs on touchscreen phones when you select an item on the screen.
The larger the screen is on your phone, the more power is dispersed to it to keep it lit up. If possible, turn off the backlight or turn down the amount of time that the keyboard or screen stays lit up after being used. Use a darker, if not black, image as your background wallpaper. It uses much less power than lighting up the screen brightly. Reduce the brightness of the screen on smartphones and don't use live wallpapers. These are constantly running programs and although they aren't performing large tasks it is still constantly running and using unnecessary battery percentages.
Avoid the use of unnecessary features. The flash on your phone's camera uses more power than any other feature. Turn off all other features and try not to use your phone for anything other than calls or text messages. Don't use it for gaming or music applications. If you do stream any video or music make sure that you fully close out the program when you are finished. Turn off WiFi, GPS and Bluetooth functions unless you need to use them and then turn them after you are completed with them. Most phones also have an option to turn off the internet connection.

We deal with an initial boundary value problem for the Schrödinger-Boussinesq system arising in plasma physics in two-dimensional domains. We prove the global Hadamard well-posedness of this problem (with respect to the topology which is weaker than topology associated with the standard variational (weak) solutions) and study properties of the solutions. In the dissipative case the existence of a global attractor is established.
This is a systematic study of order-preserving (or monotone) random dynamical systems which are generated by cooperative random or stochastic differential equations. Our main results concern the long-term behavior of these systems, in particular the existence of equilibria and attractors and a limit set trichotomy theorem. Several applications (models of the control of the protein synthesis in a cell, of gonorrhea infection and of symbiotic interaction in a random environment) are treated in detail.
We study long-time dynamics of a class of abstract second order in time evolution equations in a Hilbert space with the damping term depending both on displacement and velocity. This damping represents the nonlinear strong dissipation phenomenon perturbed with relatively compact terms. Our main result states the existence of a compact finite dimensional attractor. We study properties of this attractor. We also establish the existence of a fractal exponential attractor and give the conditions that guarantee the existence of a finite number of determining functionals. In the case when the set of equilibria is finite and hyperbolic we show that every trajectory is attracted by some equilibrium with exponential rate. Our arguments involve a recently developed method based on the "compensated" compactness and quasi-stability estimates. As an application we consider the nonlinear Kirchhoff, Karman and Berger plate models with different types of boundary conditions and strong damping terms. Our results can be also applied to the nonlinear wave equations.
keywords: global attractor , Nonlinear plate models , state-dependent damping
We prove the existence of a compact, finite dimensional, global attractor for a coupled PDE system comprising a nonlinearly damped semilinear wave equation and a nonlinear system of thermoelastic plate equations, without any mechanical (viscous or structural) dissipation in the plate component. The plate dynamics is modelled following Berger's approach; we investigate both cases when rotational inertia is included into the model and when it is not. A major part in the proof is played by an estimate--known as stabilizability estimate--which shows that the difference of any two trajectories can be exponentially stabilized to zero, modulo a compact perturbation. In particular, this inequality yields bounds for the attractor's fractal dimension which are independent of two key parameters, namely $\gamma$ and $\kappa$, the former related to the presence of rotational inertia in the plate model and the latter to the coupling terms. Finally, we show the upper semi-continuity of the attractor with respect to these parameters.
Stochastic dynamics in a fluid--plate interaction model with the only longitudinal deformations of the plate
We consider a stochastically perturbed coupled system consisting of linearized 3D Navier--Stokes equations in a bounded domain and the classical (nonlinear) elastic plate equation for in-plane motions on a flexible flat part of the boundary. This kind of models arises in the study of blood flows in large arteries. Our main result states the existence of a random pullback attractor of finite fractal dimension. Our argument is based on some modification of the method of quasi-stability estimates recently developed for deterministic systems.
We study dynamics of a coupled system consisting of the 3D Navier--Stokes equations which is linearized near a certain Poiseuille type flow between two unbounded circular cylinders and nonlinear elasticity equations for the transversal displacements of the bounding cylindrical shells. We show that this problem generates an evolution semigroup $S_t$ possessing a compact finite-dimensional global attractor.
We deal with a class of parabolic nonlinear evolution equations with state-dependent delay. This class covers several important PDE models arising in biology. We first prove well-posedness in a certain space of functions which are Lipschitz in time. This allows us to show that the model considered generates an evolution operator semigroup $S_t$ on a certain space of Lipschitz type functions over delay time interval. The operators $S_t$ are closed for all $t\ge 0$ and continuous for $t$ large enough. Our main result shows that the semigroup $S_t$ possesses compact global and exponential attractors of finite fractal dimension. Our argument is based on the recently developed method of quasi-stability estimates and involves some extension of the theory of global attractors for the case of closed evolutions.
We study invariance and monotonicity properties of Kunita-type sto-chastic differential equations in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with delay. Our first result provides sufficient conditions for the invariance of closed subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$. Then we present a comparison principle and show that under appropriate conditions the stochastic delay system considered generates a monotone (order-preserving) random dynamical system. Several applications are considered.
Existence, uniqueness of weak solutions and global attractors for a class of nonlinear 2D Kirchhoff-Boussinesq models
We study dynamics of a class of nonlinear Kirchhoff-Boussinesq plate models. The main results of the paper are: (i) existence and uniqueness of weak (finite energy) solutions, (ii) existence of weakly compact attractors.
keywords: 2D Boussinesq models , weak well-posedness , global attractors.
We consider non-linear parabolic stochastic partial differential equations with dynamical boundary conditions and with a noise which acts in the domain but also on the boundary and is presented by the temporal generalized derivative of an infinite dimensional Wiener process. We prove that solutions to this stochastic partial differential equation generate a random dynamical system. Under additional conditions we show that this system is monotone. Our main result states the existence of a compact global (pullback) attractor.

by Jeremy Bauman / @JBauman13
A point guard who plays the game about as smoothly as possible, LJ Rose from Houston, Texas is the highest point guard available on the board according to most scouting services and is also the top lead guard in the SLAMonline 2012 Fresh 50–not to say that any of that matters, and it certainly doesn't matter to LJ. Blessed with a close family that has helped to keep him grounded as he has grown up, Rose has maintained a steady head on his shoulders despite all of the rankings and hype that have come his way.
Having a father that has played in the NBA and knows what it takes helps, but make no mistake about it: the hype that this high school junior receives is well deserved. Rose sees the floor and makes passes that are simply ahead of the curve–he reads plays and makes well informed decisions that most other guards his age don't even know are possible. His jump shot is picture perfect and has range past the NBA three-point line.
And all of this isn't a coincidence: Rose works on his game constantly.
Here's his take on all things basketball thus far in his young career.
SLAM: So what does that first name of yours stand for and when did people start calling you LJ?
LJ Rose: LJ stands for Lynden Jr. I'm named after my father. People have been calling me that ever since I can remember either that or just "L."
SLAM: Your game is smooth in many ways. You have range that reaches past the NBA line and you pass the ball with relative ease. What else do you want people to know about your game at both ends of the floor?
LJR: I think I'm more athletic and I'm a better defender then most people think. I am a leader and that's something I need to continue to show.
SLAM: What players have you modeled your game after over the years and why?
LJR: I've tried to model game after Magic Johnson. He's a close family friend and I've always looked up to him as a player/person. Also Steph Curry and Deron Williams because during my high school season I usually have to score more, but I still get my teammates involved and I also have some size. Both of those guys do a great job with that. (Note: Magic is a close family friend because LJ's father, Lynden Rose, was drafted by the Lakers and became very good friends with him.)
SLAM: You recently told Scout.com "I think it set me back more with my conditioning more than anything else. I haven't played since July and that part has been hard for me." What did you do to learn about the game in this time?
LJR: I watched a lot of games with my dad. I've always been a student of the game but this really helped me take my knowledge to a new level.
SLAM: You have a lot of time, but what do you need to improve upon the most before you get to the college level?
LJR: Mainly my quickness and strength but that is starting to come.
SLAM: What is your attitude like when in the pre-game? What do you do to get your mind right?
LJR: Before the game I'm always loose. Cracking jokes and different stuff like that. In my opinion it helps my teammates just relax and have fun out there.
SLAM: What are you like in the practice setting?
LJR: In the practice setting I'm always trying new things or looking for ways I can better my game because that's the only place mistakes are somewhat acceptable
SLAM: Aside from playing with your high school and AAU team-Second Baptist and Houston Hoops respectively–what else do you do to better your game?
LJR: I'm always in the gym with my dad. He really pushes me to be the best I can be. He often drops a few words of knowledge, helping me not make the same mistakes twice. I'm blessed to have a lot of great people around me who want the best for me and being mediocre isn't an option.
SLAM: Your high school coach Roger Kollmansberger said in the same Scout.com story "I think he's the best passer in high school basketball. I don't even think it's close to be honest with you. He makes our guys look real good. Not only can he pass to the open man, but he passes to the guys where they are comfortable making shots." How have your passing abilities developed over the years? What measures have you taken to keep improving these skills while also reading defenses?
LJR: Growing up I used to watch a lot of Pistol Pete videos on his passing and from then on I started to pick up different things. Also my vision helps me see things that sometimes many of teammates don't even see [laughs].
SLAM: Marcus Paige, a point guard from Iowa recently committed to North Carolina. You were offered by them but with that commitment I'm sure they take somewhat of a hit in recruiting you…
LJR: I honestly think its a good commit for them. Paige is a good kid and he can play. I wish nothing but the best for him and Coach Williams.
SLAM: Along the same lines, Rodney Purvis is committed to Louisville, Yogi Ferrell to Indiana. You are the highest rated point guard left on the board in most rankings and the recruiting intensity is sure to heat up. What are you anticipating and how do you plan on handling it?
LJR: It was already crazy but I am just going to keep on working and everything else will take care of itself!
SLAM: Besides UNC, you have offers from Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas, Kansas, Wake Forest, Illinois, Virginia, Florida State, Miami and LSU. Who am I missing and what, exactly, will you be looking for in your school of choice?
LJR: Pretty much all the schools that are recruiting me have offered at this point except for Duke. I'm just looking at playing style, relationship with coach, and wherever I feel is the best situation for me.
SLAM: When will you make your decision and why?
LJR: I'll make decision whenever my family and I feel the time is right and I feel comfortable about it
SLAM: Are you more comfortable in the half-court or in the open court and why?
LJR: Either one is fine for me. In the half court it is all about concepts and reads I think that's what I'm becoming pretty good at.
SLAM: Who is the toughest opponent you have ever played against? Toughest to contain defensively?
LJR: My toughest opponent I've ever played against is probably Rajon Rondo and hardest to guard is Tommy Mason-Griffin.
SLAM: What do you do in your spare time for fun?
LJR: In my spare time I'm usually hanging with friends or in the gym. I also spend a lot of time with my family.

It was most excellent to receive a message this evening from Derek Hatchard regarding Atlantic Canada's First Code Camp. This is awesome! So if you are in NB, Nova Scotia, PEI and heck even Newfoundland, you should totally get your butt over to Moncton on October 15th for what I suspect will be an awesome code camp. Code camps are gaining hugely in popularity due to the massive value that developers can get out of them so I really couldn't be more impressed to see one get started here in Atlantic Canada. Great stuff Derek!
From Derek's Message:
I am very excited to announce the first ever Atlantic Canada CodeCamp to be held Saturday 15 October 2005 in Moncton, NB. A CodeCamp is a community-driven, all-day event for developers. Speakers are local or regional developers. Topics are based on community interest. Sessions are original and feature a heavy technical focus (no marketing fluff). And best of all, it is FREE!
We are looking for speakers from the Atlantic region to submit session proposals for this unique and exciting event. An official Call for Speakers with a submission template will be coming very soon. In the meantime, if you are interested in presenting or know someone who would be a great speaker, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We will also have an online registration process in place soon. Until then, it would be a tremendous help to hear back from you with a response (Yes, No, or Maybe) to the question "Will you attend the Atlantic Canada CodeCamp on October 15?" If your answer is "No", it would be great to hear why you are not interested in attending. Thanks so much!
For more details, watch the Web site at http://www.atlanticcodecamp.ca/. We hope to have times and location nailed down later this week.

Square Dance, USA
The "square" tag has nothing to do with naffness (now why would anyone think that?) but rather to do with the arrangement of the four couples involved, whose movements around the "square" are usually choreographed by a separate "caller". Although associated with US Western-style dress (nineteen US states call it their official dance), square dancing originated in seventeenth-century England while, traditionally, accompanying music is in the form of Scottish- and Irish-style reels and jigs.

GUAXUPE, Brazil (Reuters Life!) - From close up you can hear the rasping breaths of a 450-kilogram (990-pound) bull as it bucks and whirls under the bright arena spotlights and struggles to unseat its plucky rider. Stand even closer to the rodeo and you might get a showering of grit scooped up by a large hoof and flung through gaps in the sturdy metal railings.
Guaxupe is a sleepy agricultural town in Brazil renowned for its yearly ten-day rodeo festival that brings together some of the country's most skilled professional cowhands and popular Brazilian country music singers. The town is in southern Minas Gerais state, the heart of Brazil's coffee growing region, and home to the world's largest coffee cooperative, Cooxupe.
"It's the craziest week of the year," said Ana Paula Chagas, a resident and employee of Cooxupe. "We are mid-way through the coffee harvest and everyone has money to spend." The rural festival in Guaxupe underscores the vast cultural differences across Brazil's enormous land mass.
From abroad, the country is often stereotyped as a destination for sand, samba and caipirinhas, but it is also a land of tough working cowboys and millions of passionate country music fans.

Its right on the river and just a short stroll to the beach, shops and cafes. Self contained 'couple accommodation'. Your Aireys Inlet studio is much more than a motel suite at a much more competitive price. It is modern with private ensuite and an excellent outlook.
The accommodation includes:
*queen bed
*reverse cycle air conditioning/heating
*outdoor furniture
*all linen and towels provided
XMAS/BIRTHDAY/GIFT VOUCHERS available
Enjoy the newly opened lighthouse, bush, beach and cliff top walks, paddle on the river, horse riding and mountain biking at your fingertips. Its a beautiful part of nature here and such a great part of the Great Ocean Rd. Nearby is the town of Lorne famous for its waterfalls and cafe strip.
Why this retreat was built and how to get there.
Owner/manager of A River Bed, Wendy, holidayed in the area as a child and,
loving the memories, moved here in 1997. While working in the Tourism/Accommodation industry for many years, saw a need
for modern self contained 'couple' accommodation. So created A River Bed, studio for 2.
Take the Princes Highway from Melbourne, through Geelong and follow the signs to the Great Ocean Road. Drive through Anglesea and continue on to Aireys Inlet. Aireys is a tranquil seaside resort on the beautiful southern coast of Victoria.
When you enter the town of Aireys Inlet, drive past the shops on the left and the hotel on the right. Down the hill and, at the bottom, turn right into Bambra Road then left into River Road, left again into River Reserve Road. Second on the left, you'll see your car space at the front of the studio.
Location and what's nearby
A River Bed is close to Lorne, Anglesea, Torquay and the Otways but right on the Great Ocean Road and Surfcoast. Its so handy for day trips and a perfect base for your holiday or simply a weekend or overnight getaway.

Compliance Package (BLCP)™
We provide you with all the licensing requirements and forms.
We prepare all your licensing paperwork, and deliver it to you signature-ready.
We obtain for you ALL required licenses.
One type of health license a contractor needs to work with older buildings is an asbestos license. If you plan to renovate or demolish older buildings that may have asbestos in them, you first need to be trained in the safe handling of this toxic substance and get approved for your asbestos contractor's license.
What is Asbestos?
A naturally occurring mineral, asbestos became a popular material to use in homes in the late 19th century. It absorbed sound well and was resistant to heat. It wasn't until much later that we discovered it also caused lung cancer and other terminal illnesses.
There are still many older homes with asbestos used as insulation. In renovating, contractors often come into contact with the material, and so it's important to know how to properly dispose of it without risking your health.
Getting an Asbestos License
Having an asbestos license authorizes you to work with the material, but it's also for your own protection. Knowing how to handle the hazardous material can keep you safe and prevent the risk of cancer and other deadly diseases that it causes.
Before you can be approved for your asbestos contractor's license, you'll need to pass an exam covering both the technical and the business side to working with asbestos. Whether you want to be a contractor or an asbestos consultant, you have to pass this exam. It covers topics like:
- Identifying asbestos
- Surveying and analyzing asbestos
- Handling and cleaning up materials
- Bidding on asbestos work
- Working with contractors and managing personnel
There are training manuals available to help you study for this exam. But you must pass this exam before being issued your health license to work with asbestos, as well as get any other business licenses, permits & tax forms approved that your state requires.
Once you are issued your asbestos license, you may be required to take continuing education courses to stay on top of your knowledge and keep you informed of new information that comes out.

Leading Arizona Business Groups Endorse Mark Brnovich for AG
Arizona Chamber of Commerce and NFIB: Brnovich best bet to fight for Arizona
Today, the Mark Brnovich for Attorney General campaign is proud to be endorsed by two of Arizona's largest and most premier business organizations: the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Arizona chapter of the National Federal of Independent Business (NFIB).
The significant show of business support is further evidence that leading Arizona employers believe Brnovich is the best choice to keep Arizona communities safe, fight federal overreach by the Obama administration and prosecute identity thieves, scam artists and others who target consumers and legitimate businesses alike. Brnovich is the only candidate in this race with extensive, frontline experience prosecuting and taking to trial both civil and criminal cases, including violent felonies.
"I am humbled and honored to receive the formal endorsements of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and National Federation of Independent Business," Brnovich said. "I know private enterprise is the beating heart of our economy and, as Attorney General, I will fight tirelessly to ensure Arizona is a safe place for families to grow and businesses to thrive. I will push back against federal overregulation that threatens our economy and way of life, and aggressively prosecute criminals and scam artists who prey upon Arizona citizens, consumers and business owners."
The Arizona Chamber of Commerce endorsed Brnovich following a rigorous interview process; Chamber endorsees must receive the backing of at least 65% of the Board membership, via a secret-ballot vote.
"Arizona needs an attorney general who will work to ensure that we have a regulatory and legal environment where business can thrive," said Glenn Hamer, president and CEO of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry. "That includes standing strong for Arizona when federal regulations could harm our state, especially from agencies like the EPA, whose overreach could have a devastating effect on Arizona's economy if left unchecked. Mark Brnovich is the leader we need to be our next attorney general. He has the experience and know-how to lead the office, and the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry is proud to endorse him."
Just as impressive, Arizona's leading advocacy group for small business – the NFIB – voted overwhelmingly to endorse Brnovich. This is the first time in more than a decade that the 7,000 Arizona small-business owners who comprise the NFIB have chosen to endorse a candidate for Attorney General. Among NFIB members who voted, 89 percent support Brnovich; just 11 percent chose his opponent.
"Arizona's job creators trust Mark Brnovich to enforce the law and protect our communities," said Farrell Quinlan, Arizona state director for the NFIB. "Arizona's entrepreneurs are confident Mark Brnovich will foster a safe and secure environment and ensure a level playing field so our small businesses can thrive. As Arizona's next Attorney General, Mark Brnovich will provide solid legal advice to state regulatory agencies in order to prevent overreach, regulatory bullying of small business owners and to ensure state agencies aren't acting on bad or inaccurate legal advice."
The formal endorsement was issued by the NFIB/Arizona Save America's Free Enterprise (SAFE) Trust, the political action committee of NFIB members in Arizona.
Raised in Arizona, Mark Brnovich is a graduate of Arizona State University. After law school, Mark prosecuted felonies in the Gang/Repeat Offender Bureau of the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and worked as an Assistant Attorney General for Arizona and as Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona. Mark also served his country as the Command Staff Judge Advocate for the 153rd Field Artillery Brigade of the Arizona Army National Guard for eight years. Mark met his wife Susan while both were working as prosecutors. They live in Phoenix with their two daughters.

HONOLULU (AP) - Julian Sensley scored 20 of his game-high 25 points in the second half to rally Hawai'i to a 67-57 win over Santa Clara on Saturday night.
Matt Lojeski added 16 points for Hawai'i (14-9) and Ahmet Gueye had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Rainbow Warriors.
Travis Niesen led Santa Clara (9-15) with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Brandon Rohe added 13 points.
Sensley's free throws with 9:18 remaining gave Hawai'i its first lead of the game, 48-47, and capped a 13-4 Rainbow run, keyed by 11 points from Sensley.
Santa Clara did not make a field goal in the final 6:53 of the game. It led by as much as 28-16 with 5:18 remaining in the first half.
Sensley's fastbreak jumper, his first points of the game, with 3:43 remaining in the half broke a 6:21 scoreless span for Hawai'i. Santa Clara led 32-24 at halftime.

Damn it! I really loath to do anything now! I feel so sick now. Flu, sore-throat, and cough seem hunting me from last Sunday! wtf. Anything can let me recover faster?
Most probably i was immune of those things!
Impossible i cant recover since so long already. Huh, yesterday i slept whole day again. From 7pm i sleep until 7am this morning! 12 hours i slept just because i took the Bena Expectorant that can threat cough. It seem not working at all. Tomorrow i have a formative exam that similar as final exam!
But i haven't finish doing my revision. Some more i dunno what to study! wtf, really hate my study life. How can i manage to organize my time wisely? No time management at all. Next 2 week is my practical week. Guess where I practical?
Most of seniors really refuse to training there.

*I haven't revise anything that medical staffs could ask me*
Prepare to get scold by them soon. LOL
I get a shock news from my brother and Vinc that my hometown shop get burn! Gosh, luckily not the Shell station having fire! If not i cannot imagine what will happen to Sarikei, perhaps it will gone forever.
Appreciate ur life. Start it now.

I was on a book buying binge to heal some sadness this past week when I randomly stumbled upon Time Bomb by Joelle Charbonneau. I was a huge fan of The Testing trilogy, so it was a no brainer to bring this one home with me as well. And true to my love of Charbonneau's writing, I devouring Time Bomb in less than four hours, pretty much straight through.
Time Bomb is very well paced. I was never bored; clearly, since I blew right through it. We follow a handful of characters–Diana, Z, Rashid, Cas, Tad, and Frankie. All of them have secrets, different reasons why they are at school that day, but they need to work together to escape school after bombs explode. Six characters is a lot, but the balance was on point. We never spent too long with any one person, but it wasn't too short either.
I heavily appreciated the character building, particularly with Rashid. It was nice to see a strong, positive Muslim character with their feelings honestly portrayed on the page. I cannot imagine what it would feel like to have people look at you and assume you're a terrorist just because of how you look and what you believe, but Charbonneau makes a strong and effective effort to bring the reader a little understanding. I also liked Frankie in that his ending was not a perfect bow. It's not easy being LGBTQ, but Frankie and Tad's undefined relationship touches briefly on these difficulties. I would have loved more there, but that's hard with six people to follow.
Cas fell a little flat for me; I wanted to know more about how she got to the point she did–bullying seemed to just be thrown in as an afterthought, an "oopsie gotta have a reason why Cas is the way she is!" We didn't really get a lot of the background with Cas the way we did with some of the other characters.
Here's what I DIDN'T like. Time Bomb is good. Very well written. But it's nothing new. And I predicted the bomber in the first twenty pages, and was absolutely correct about my entire theory. Charbonneau tried to plant red herrings; she gave everyone a backpack with suspicious unnamed items inside. But it wasn't enough. The bomber was so darn obvious right from the beginning, though my knowledge didn't deter me from my overall enjoyment of the plot. I'm curious if people not as well read in YA had this same issue? Hit me up!
Overall, this is a 3.5 for me. It's a good, fast read and a strong thriller. It's just like a lot of others of its type for me. Had I read it five years ago, I am sure I'd rate it higher. Pick it up if you need a good fast read, but don't expect something you haven't read before.

The spear shafts have silver hand-grips, and hand-grip and shaft have words and pictures carved in them. A spear, once thrown, will not miss its target even if the target dodges (or perhaps that's just the impression Christopher gets).

April 15-18th, 2015
Houston, TX
Course is now full. ELSO is NO longer accepting names for the wait list.
This intense four day course is designed for physicians and specialists caring for adult patients with severe acute respiratory and cardiac failure who may be candidates for Extracorporeal Respiratory Support. Common diagnoses considered for adult ECLS support include: H1N1, other viral or bacterial pneumonias, burn and inhalation injury, traumatic lung injury, pulmonary contusion, pulmonary embolism, post-shock or sepsis associated ARDS, or other forms of reversible acute lung injury or illness.
Course content includes indications and contraindications, cannulation techniques, initiation of support, patient and circuit physiology of ECMO, programmatic design and management, and all aspects of patient management and decision making for patients on ECMO. Complementing the twelve hour didactic course is an eighteen hour high fidelity simulation lab with an ECMO circuit utilizing centrifugal pump technology. All learners will participate in a four hour "ECMO Essentials 101" simulation workshop before the didactic sessions to review the fundamentals of bedside ECMO, such as, a circuit check, equipment components, alarms, pressure monitoring, stopcocks and pigtails, drawing samples from the circuit, de-airing the circuit, and hand cranking the pump. The goal is to immerse the learner in ECMO terminology and concepts before the didactic course to enhance the learning process. In the conference simulation workshop, small groups will participate in scenarios reviewing emergency procedures and highlighting adult ECMO physiology with a learner to instructor ratio of 2:1. Simulation education will allow participants to develop skills in common bedside procedures and to learn key assessments for decision making by "hands on" experience. The course is appropriate for centers setting up new programs, or for existing centers expanding into adult services.
Phoenix Children's Hospital is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Phoenix Children's Hospital designates this live activity for a maximum of 29.66 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
Comments from our past courses:
We are just starting our program so there are lots to consider. This conference has given us lots of good direction and advice.
This course is a unique opportunity to be in touch with this technology and experts. Learned a lot how to manage troubleshooting and had the opportunity to review my practice. Changes will come, for sure!
This was an excellent course. The content, speakers and simulations were beyond my expectations. I am looking forward to joining ELSO and attending in the future.
Amazing course. Being 7 years out of my training I learned more at this course than any I have taken previously (felt like residency again!). Best course I have ever taken!!!! Love it!!!! You guys do great work!
I was very surprised by the level of the course. It overcame my expectations and could learn a lot. Now is time to go back home and review all our practice.
This was undoubtedly the best medical meeting/course I have ever attended; across every domain of evaluation-from registration and organization to facilities, to the methods and faculty. I have/will tell every one of my colleagues this and encourage them to take part in this.
One of the best conferences I've been to.
I have been attending CME programs for over 20 years. This is the first time I have attended a course and gone from ground zero to a baseline, where I feel reasonably comfortable in the theory and practical aspect of the subject (ECMO). The real gold in this course was the simulation. While all of the presentation faculty are clearly knowledgeable and experienced, it's the hands on and thinking on your feet that really enhances learning. This course receives my highest recommendation.
I'd recommend this course to anyone caring for patients on ECMO: I have a lot of clinical experience in the field and still learned something new and useful at each session.
Great course! Very useful, changed my understanding, perspective and practice. Outstanding food, snack, beverages. Best of any conference/course I've attended.
The ELSO course that you and your team deployed at Emory was outstanding. By far it was the most transformative CME that I have ever attended
The course was the best medical meeting I have attended bar none. Thanks again,
Simulation Comments
I had not a lot of experience with simulation previously, but this was tremendously informative. I suspect that in future my approach to educating others will move towards less didactic and more participatory. Will always remember Confucius "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand".
I was surprised how simulation is important. The teams of experts were very skillful and could transmit the importance of the procedure and protocols that have to be followed. The trouble shooting was fantastic and the level of difficulty increased also and was good!
Unbelievable! Simulation is the key to learn an understand ECMO.
Course is now full. ELSO is NO longer accepting names for the wait list.
Registration per person is $3,000
Registration includes the ECMO Specialist Training Manual and 4th Edition Red Book

A ten year strategy has been launched to move the UK away from the bottom of the European heart disease league. Some 110,000 people die each year from heart disease and many of the deaths are preventable. The aim is to cut deaths by 40% by 2010.The strategy, known as the National Standards Framework, covers prevention through primary care to emergency and specialist hospital care and rehabilitation. It sets standards for prevention diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. It also sets out what services should be available across the country.
The measures that will be adopted include increasing the number of surgeons from 170 to 280, providing specially trained cardiac nurses for accident and emergency units and setting up chest pain clinics staffed by doctors, nurses and other health professionals.
Implementation of the National Standards Framework will be under the direction of Dr Roger Boyle who will work with health professionals, managers and the voluntary sector. Making one individual accountable for policy implementation is an approach that is being used increasingly. There is a Drugs Czar and there are Nurse Champions as well as Champions for Information Age Government and Customer Focus.
The framework has taken two years to put together by an Expert reference Group which included patients and carers as well as nurses, GPs, consultants, public health specialists and NHS senior managers.
