We here at Web.AppStorm always love a good time-tracking and invoicing app. Today we're going to be taking a look at Harvest, one of the most popular options out there on the Net. We've featured it in a number of our roundups, including our 111 Web Apps to Rule Them All, and today we're going to have a thorough look through it and its features.
Read on for our full review.
First Thoughts
Harvest is a browser-based time tracking and invoicing program and can be accessed from virtually any compatible browser. The developers kindly offer a 30-day free trial (with no credit card required) so you can test out the program's features before committing to buying (I signed up to the trial for the purposes of this review).
Signing up is an absolute doddle – all you have to provide is your name, company, an e-mail address and your own custom domain (which looks like yournamehere.harvestapp.com), so you can access your invoices and projects directly. On the app's first-run, you'll be asked to define some basic settings, such as your preferred date, time and number format and default currency (Harvest supports most world currencies) then you are directed to Harvest's Dashboard, which gives you a time and invoice summary, along with any recently active projects.
Working with Projects
Before you can start tracking time in Harvest, you must set up a project in order to assign the tracked time to it. This helps later on when it comes to billing clients for the time you've invested in them. Creating a new project is really simple – just click on the Create New Project option from the Welcome screen and you're good to go. When creating a new project, you can choose exactly who it's for (i.e. the name of the client), the project's name and code (if applicable) and the method of invoicing (whether by hours/flat rate and so on). You can even define the budget in this step if needs be (again by the number of hours in total or by a flat fee).
Harvest can send you e-mail warnings when a project reaches a certain percentage of its budget.
Harvest will then let you define individual tasks in a project, the people involved with the project (including the project manager) if there is more than one person working on it and whether or not individual tasks are billable.
Tracking Time
Once you've set up a project, you now need to start tracking the time associated with it! Remember, time is money after all. Harvest tracks time in decimal format, so 2 hours 30 minutes is recorded as 2.5, 3 hours and 45 minutes as 3.75 and so on. You can enter time either in this format or by using the timer built directly into the timesheet.
On your timesheet you can also record individual expenses associated either by project or by activity. Harvest will let you add some notes about the expense and you can attach a scanned copy of the receipt as well for your records (expenses are recorded by week).
Working with Invoices
Invoicing in Harvest is really easy. You can either invoice your clients based on the time you've done (and using the work you've entered into Harvest plus any expenses due) or a free-form, open invoice (useful if you've negotiated a fixed rate). For the sake of simplicity, we'll create an open invoice to show you how Harvest works to its full.
You simply add the invoice features (such as purchase order number, payment terms and so on) then enter a description of the product or service, its price and quantity and you're off. Harvest will create an invoice for you on screen which can then be printed off, saved as a PDF or edited directly in the program. You can also send a link to the so-called "web version" of the invoice so your clients can view it directly on the Internet.
The invoice is professional and clean-looking and will suit almost any kind of business or application. You can add your own logo or tailor the invoice slightly to suit your requirements and Harvest can integrate with third-party payment services (such as PayPal) so that your clients can pay you instantly once an invoice becomes due. The app will also send out automatic e-mails (which can be tailor-written to suit your needs) should an invoice become overdue (and you can set how often and when after the payment date the invoice is sent).
Other Features
Harvest is extremely customisable and features official integration with Basecamp and Highrise, and can also export invoices to QuickBooks. You can manage which modules you want to see as well – for example if you don't want to see Estimates in your Dashboard then you can disable this easily. If you remove a module from this view then the data associated with that module doesn't get deleted either, so you can temporarily hide it if needs be for later use.
Harvest also features its own native iPhone, Android and Mac apps and works really well with loads of third-party services. The iPhone and Android apps let you track time and record expenses on-the-go and the Mac app allows you to enter time worked for each project directly from the desktop without having to log in. Apart from the services mentioned above, there is further support for plenty of other third-party programs out there on the Web, such as Google Apps, Outright and Zendesk. There are also a number of extensions created by Harvest (such as Co-op) which really help increase your productivity (for the full list, head over here).
Final Thoughts
Harvest really is a rarity in today's world, in that it's a great simple web app to use that's absolutely blasted (and sugar-coated) full of features. It will really work wonders no matter what you're in – whether you're a freelancer or part of a small business, given the flexibility and huge range of third-party service support by Harvest you are likely to find a use that it won't be useful for. It's one of the great web apps that have defined the very concept of web apps to many users, along with the likes of Basecamp, Gmail, and more, and even today it's one of the best ways to track time and make invoices online.
The app gains our highly prized 10 out of 10 rating as for a web-based time tracking and invoicing app, with its ease of use and beautiful interface, you'd be extremely hard pushed to find a better alternative out there!

Nokia is expected to officially unveil the Lumia 1020 and its 41-megapixel camera later this week, but it appears that Windows Phone chief Joe Belfiore has already spent some quality time with the device. As noted by The Verge, a couple of photos in Belfiore's personal Flickr stream appear to have been taken with the unannounced Lumia. The shots, which were taken on June 29, have EXIF data that list the "Nokia Lumia 1020" as the camera used to capture the photos. The resolutions of the images are 2352x1568 (3.7 megapixels) and 2947x1658 (4.9 megapixels).
The Lumia 1020 has gone by the codename "Nokia EOS" in recent months, it's been unclear what the handset's official name would be. Now that we're just days away from the event at which Nokia's new Lumia will likely be introduced, it looks like "Lumia 1020" is the winning name. As for the rest of the device, the Lumia 1020 is rumored to feature a 1280x768 OLED display, 32GB storage and the aforementioned 41-megapixel PureView camera. A U.S. release on AT&T is expected to be in the works, but the rest of the Lumia 1020's availability is still a mystery. Good thing that we've only got a few more days until all is finally made official.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Brook Lopez showed the Magic last night what they are missing. He showed the Nets what they are missing, too.
The Nets center was everywhere early in the game, making baskets, blocking shots, pulling down rebounds, setting a tone the Nets had to have after two difficult losses. The NBA is all about the bounce-back, and Lopez was there when the Nets needed him most, in a game they could not afford to lose.
Lopez scored nine of the Nets' first 13 points on their way to a 107-68 blowout of the Magic at Amway Center. After having endured the Dwight Howard saga, the constant trade rumors and the Magic's decision to go in a different trade direction, this was a statement start for the center.
Yes, on this night, this was Brook Lopez's Magic Kingdom.
This game was nothing personal, though, Lopez said. This is how he wants to approach every game, no matter the opponent.
"I expect a lot out of myself,'' Lopez said on a night he collected 14 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in just 24 minutes.
Just as important as the results, Lopez got some on-court instruction during a timeout early in the game from point guard Deron Williams on how best to use his size. This is the type of teamwork that will make a difference over the long haul for Lopez and for the Nets.
Williams is so passionate about what he does. He is not afraid to show his displeasure if a teammate is not making the most of his ability, but the point guard also is willing to lend a helping hand. There he was during a timeout, on the court instructing Lopez the best way to use all of his seven feet to attack the opponent and give the guards a terrific passing target.
Though Lopez often has position on a defender, Williams told The Post, "He has his hands down, so you don't want to throw it because you don't know if he's open or not. He's open but … I was just telling him that, and he did it the next time and it worked.''
It worked to perfection. To his credit, Lopez took it all in and made the most of the situation.
"It's just a matter of me getting in the right position, me sealing my man to help make his pass easier and giving him a target so he can be confident that when he throws the ball I'm going to get it strong with two hands,'' Lopez said. "This is a work in progress, so we are definitely going to be out there talking to each other, trying to figure it out, but it was really clicking tonight.''
Remember, Lopez played just five games last year because of injuries. There still are big lessons to be learned by the big man.
"He was a beast early,'' Joe Johnson said. "That's what we need him to do.''
Do they ever.
This win got the Nets back to thinking good thoughts after blowing a 22-point lead to the Timberwolves on Monday night in Brooklyn and following that up by getting blown out of AmericanAirlines Arena on Wednesday night by LeBron James and the Heat.
In that game, Lopez had all of two points at the half. Last night, he had 12 points, seven rebounds and three blocked shots at the half. This was a much different opponent, of course, but those numbers were huge. He has to keep it going on both ends of the court.
"Defensively, I was trying to be the last line of defense where if they get to the basket I'm the wall and my guards can trust me if they get beat,'' Lopez said.
It's all about trust.
"He was good,'' coach Avery Johnson said of Lopez. "He was getting deep post position. He was holding his position. Deron did a good job of getting him the ball.''
Getting Lopez the ball and giving him some vital on-court instruction.

Aintree Racecourse and Women in Racing (WiR) are delighted to welcome the return of the Grand Women's Summit (GWS). The first event of its kind held in 2015 was hailed a huge success with more than 115 delegates attending the informative, educational and entertaining networking event.
The inaugural event would not have taken place without the support of Nolan Partners, a long-term corporate partner of WiR, and Aintree Racecourse. In 2016 the event will also be supported by Women in Sport together with an additional financial agreement with Jockey Club Racecourses Northwest region.
WiR Chair Sally Rowley-Williams commented: "I am delighted to announce this new partnership between Women in Racing and Jockey Club Racecourses Northwest. It officially commenced on January 1 and, like our existing partnership with Nolan Partners, it will run for two years. This particular partnership will enable us to develop the Grand Women's Summit and we look forward to building on the successful platform of 2015."

Top 10 hidden sources of BPA
It may be in your toilet paper
It's virtually impossible to avoid the ubiquitous chemical compound bisphenol A (BPA), which is associated with a risk of heart disease, diabetes and liver problems in adults, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Worldwide production has reached about 7 billion pounds a year, and traces of BPA have been found in the urine of 93 percent of more than 2,500 Americans sampled. It has also turned up in human blood and breast milk.
Where is it all coming from?
BPA is used in thousands of consumer products to make everything from shatterproof polycarbonate plastic baby bottles and eyeglass lenses to DVDs. The chemical, a hormone disruptor, can leach out of products with regular use, but especially when they're heated.
Earlier this month, government scientists warned that BPA was linked to health and developmental problems in fetuses, infants and children. They suggested limiting exposure to the chemical until more is known about the health and environmental effects. (A Danish study showed the BPA in toilet paper was "an important source of xenoestrogen emissions to wastewater.")
That's a tall order. You can start small by microwaving food in glass, rather than plastic, and looking for BPA-free food containers.
Also watch for these 10 other less commonly known sources:
- oPizza boxes made of recycled cardboard
- Recycled paper
- Credit card receipts at the gas station and your local restaurant
- Wine (fermented in BPA-resin lined vats)
- Beer (likewise)
- Rubbermaid polycarbonate-lined baking tins used by Subway
- Pop (soda) cans
- Organic canned tomatoes
- Common plastic cups used in college cafeterias
- Blue-tinted hard plastic 5-gallon drinking water bottles. (Some water filters that store filtered water in polycarbonate containers.)
- FDA defends plastic in baby bottles
- The National Toxicology Program's BPA fact sheet
- A list of BPA-free baby bottles and sippy cups.
- BPA coverage in Julie's Health Club.

Yesterday we went to see a performance of Wicked with a homeschool group at the Oriental theater in downtown Chicago. This gorgeous historic theater is only 3/4 of a mile from our loft. What incredible fun, I am so glad we had a chance to see Wicked before it leaves Chicago. We can hardly wait for Spamalot to make it's debut here in the spring.
I've heard this is a fabulous show. Friends went to Denver to see it. Which was your favorite character?
The book is fantastic! I'm dying to see the show!

NAPLES, FL (PRWEB) July 21, 2006 -–
Industrial Nanotech (OTC: INTK), a company that specializes in nanotechnology innovation and product development, today announced that the Company is set to launch Nanoboost, an Automobile Fuel Efficiency and Power Booster. A re-engineered version of the Company's Nansulate coatings, Nanoboost is designed to increase the horsepower of a car when applied to its engine and fuel components as well as reduce the amount of energy used by its air conditioning system when applied to other specific areas of the car, thus reducing fuel consumption.
As previously announced by the Company, Nanoboost has been used by prominent NASCAR and Australian V8 Supercar Race Teams to increase horsepower and speed as well as keep the interior of race cars cooler. The coating is also being considered by BMW and Porsche AG for next generation sports cars and by one of the "Big Three" American Automakers for incorporation into production automobiles at the manufacturing level due to its energy saving capabilities.
"The users of Nanoboost in racecars have experienced very positive results. It is a proven performer for the NASCAR race team and for Betta Electrical, a V8 Supercar race team currently second in the point standings, whose drivers finished 1st and 3rd in the Clipsal 500 race in Adelaide, Australia in March. The powering and cooling effects of Nanoboost in racecars and preliminary tests in regular trucks and automobiles have peaked the interest of automakers in the US and Europe and we continue to move forward in our discussions with them. We anticipate tremendous success from this product, particularly with oil and gas prices continuing to soar and such an extreme heat wave upon us," commented Francesca Crolley, VP of Operations and Marketing for Industrial Nanotech.
Nanoboost will be available to consumers on Industrial Nanotech's website at http://www.industrial-nanotech.com upon its launch.

Justin Timberlake
Justin Timberlake is a Grammy Award-winning American actor, producer and recording artist whose hits include "Rock Your Body" and "Cry Me A River." He was an original member of the 1990s/2000s pop band *NSYNC before embarking on a solo career in 2002.
Timberlake was born January 31, 1981 in Memphis, Tennessee, and grew up singing in his church choir. He appeared (as Justin Randall) on the TV talent competition "Star Search" at age 11 and was soon after invited to join the cast of "The New Mickey Mouse Club." His co-stars included future pop icons Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Timberlake and Spears began to date in the late 1990s as both were enjoying worldwide fame. He later became romantically involved with actress Cameron Diaz.
The singer has released four studio albums: "Justified" (2002), "FutureSex/LoveSounds" (2006), "The 20/20 Experience" (2012) and "The 20/20 Experience – 2 of 2" (2013). He has won nine Grammy Awards, seven American Music Awards, 10 Billboard Music Awards, and 11 MTV Video Music Awards. Timberlake also earned four Emmy Awards, including two for his guest appearances on "Saturday Night Live." While hosting the late night comedy show in December 2006, he appeared with Andy Samberg in the now-classic musical sketch "Dick In A Box."
Timberlake has been seen in numerous films, most notably "The Social Network," in which he portrayed controversial Internet tycoon and founder of Napster, Sean Parker. Off screen, Timberlake was an investor in the website Myspace. He also opened several restaurants and founded his own label, Tennman Records.
Timberlake, once named the "Most Stylish Man in America" by GQ magazine, married Jessica Biel, the star of TV's "7th Heaven," in Puglia, Italy in October 2012. The couple welcomed a son, Silas, in April 2015.

Chelsea Museum End Near
Building Sale Approved; New Home for Art Collection Must be Found in a Year
A long-running saga surrounding the Chelsea Art Museum moved toward its conclusion after a bankruptcy court paved the way for a $19.35 million sale of the museum's building to a New York developer.
The sale would allow the museum to continue operating at its West 22nd street site, rent-free, until the end of 2011, according to terms of the agreement with Albanese Development Corp.
After that date, the museum would likely have to find a new home to continue operating. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York approved the sale on Friday.
The agreement would also reduce the amount of debt owed by the building owner, a company controlled by the museum's director and founder Dorothea Keeser. The lender, New York fund manager Hudson Realty Capital, has agreed to settle the debt for $13 million, down from its previous claims for about $14 million, according to court documents.
Ms. Keeser responded to an email inquiry about the situation by saying she would not open another museum in New York.
"It's always been our objective to be paid what we are owed, and this accomplishes that goal," says Renee Lewis, a Hudson Realty managing director.
Christopher Albanese, a principal for the purchaser, said he expects to close on the property in approximately two weeks.
A sale likely marks the end years of drama over the fate of the eight-year old museum. The museum's permanent collection features paintings and prints by abstract artists such as Jean Arp, Sam Francis and Joan Mitchell.
Mr. Albanese said his firm intends to lease the building to one or several art galleries once the museum vacates at the end of next year. "It's a prime location and it's a beautiful building and that area continues to get better and better," he said. "We saw it as a good opportunity."
The fate of the museum's permanent collection, worth about $2.5 million, according to Ms. Keeser, remains unclear.
In August, Ms. Keeser said she had pledged the entire collection as collateral for a separate, $350,000 loan to make an interest payment on the mortgage. That move could violate regulations of the state Department of Education's Board of Regents, which supervises and grants charters to museums.
A spokesman for the department didn't respond to a request for information on its review of the matter.
Hudson Realty refinanced the mortgage for the building in 2008 with an $11 million loan. The terms called for Ms. Keeser's company to pay a portion of the interest until January 2009, when the principal and balance were due.
That deadline came and went without payment. In April 2009, Hudson Realty agreed to extend the loan for 18 months, making payment of the principal due in July 2010. That deadline was also missed and in August, Ms. Keeser's company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

(CNN) -- When students at California's state colleges return to campus this fall they will have to pony up more.
On Thursday, the State Board of Regents voted to increase tuition rates by 9.6% to close one-quarter of a $1 billion budget gap. Campus reductions and other measures will take care of the reminder of the deficit, the Regents said.
The move came after an extended debate about ways to close the financial gap facing the states' network of public colleges.
In a previous vote, the Regents approved an 8% increase in tuition which combined with Thursday's vote puts the cost of enrollment at $12,192 per year.
"Faced with enormous financial cuts forced on us by political leaders, we only have a handful of options open to us, and all are horrible options," said Regent Bonnie Reiss. "As much as I hate voting for this increase, I hate even more letting this institution slide into mediocrity."
The Regents' plan tries to ease the impact on middle class families by creating a tiered system of financial aid.
Students with family incomes of $80,000 per year will continue to have tuition covered through federal grants and gift aid, while students from families with incomes up to $120,000 will be offered a one-year grant to cover the new fee increase, according to a statement on the University system website.
In the past two years, student protests over rising tuition costs triggered a series of protests at campuses statewide and the occupation of administration buildings at UC Berkley.

BOYNTON BEACH — WXEL TV Channel 42`s art and merchandise auction, set for five straight days in March, is off to a flying start, with more than $200,000 in merchandise donated so far.
Donations include a Picasso lithograph valued at $500, said auction manager Sandy Stora.
The value of art work contributed so far totals more than $100,000, she said. The proceeds of the auction, to be held on WXEL from March 19 to 23, will be used for station operations.
``The overwhelming talent and caliber of art to date has far surpassed what we had last year,`` station manager Sam Barbaro said.
``The catalyst is the judged competition,`` Stora said. ``It offers artists an opportunity to be judged by national jurors.``
WXEL invited local artists to submit framed copies of their work to compete for $4,000 in prizes in four categories -- painting, graphics, sculpture and fine art photography.
A panel of local experts will select works to be included in the Art Preview March 5 at the Flagler Museum. These works will be judged for award purposes by Harry Rand, curator of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D.C.
The art competition is made possible by Mitzi Newhouse of Palm Beach, Stora said.
Artists still wanting to enter the competition must submit their framed work no later than 5 p.m. today.
Stora said one painting, by local artist John T. Vignari, has been valued, by Vignari, at $15,000.
In a style he calls Vignari-ism, Stora said, the artist ``does not use brushes. He pours paint.``
``The detail is quite captivating. It`s a beautiful, moving piece. The workmanship is excellent and it`s a fascinating medium,`` Stora said.
``He uses cups of paint, which he pours onto the canvas and swirls.``
Vignari teaches ``impressionism and expressionism art forms,`` Stora said.

Definition of grandiloquence
- was urged to follow up his grandiloquence with positive action
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
a heavyweight champion who was famous for his entertaining grandiloquence prior to every match
the predictably wearisome grandiloquence of the speeches at a political convention
These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'grandiloquence.' Views expressed in the examples do not represent the opinion of Merriam-Webster or its editors. Send us feedback.
Grandiloquence, which first appeared in English in the late 16th century, is one of several English words pertaining to speech that derive from the Latin loqui, meaning "to speak." Other offspring of "loqui" include "eloquent" ("marked by fluent expression"), "loquacious" ("full of excessive talk"), and "soliloquy" ("a long dramatic monologue"). "Grandiloquence" comes (probably via Middle French) from the Latin adjective grandiloquus, which combines "loqui" and the adjective "grandis" ("grand or great"). A word that is very similar in meaning to "grandiloquence" is "magniloquence" - and the similarity is not surprising. "Magniloquence" combines "loqui" with "magnus," another Latin word meaning "great."

Natural and man-made disasters can occur at any moment in time. They can cause not only economic and environmental damage, but more importantly loss of lives.
Civil protection assistance consists of governmental aid delivered in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. This emergency relief can take the form of in-kind assistance, deployment of specially-equipped teams, or assessment and coordination by experts sent to the field.
Disasters know no borders and a well-coordinated response at European level is necessary to avoid duplication of relief efforts and ensure that assistance meets the real needs of the affected region.
In response to the high number of recent emergencies the EU Commission announced in November 2017 new plans to strengthen the EU's civil protection response to support Member States to better respond and prepare for natural and man-made disasters.
EU Civil Protection Mechanism
When a country is hit by a disaster which overwhelms its response capacity, European countries can provide assistance via the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. The Mechanism was established in 2001 to foster cooperation among national civil protection authorities across Europe. It enables a more rapid and effective response to emergencies by coordinating the delivery of civil protection teams and assets to the affected country and population.
Any country in the world can call on the EU Civil Protection Mechanism for help. Since its launch in 2001, the EU Civil Protection Mechanism has received more than 200 requests for assistance. It intervened in some of the most devastating disasters the world has faced, like typhoon Haiyan that hit the Philippines (2013), the floods in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina (2014), the Ebola outbreak (2014), the conflict in Ukraine (since 2014), the earthquake in Nepal (2015), and the refugee crisis in Europe.
Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC)
The Emergency Response Coordination Centre is the 24/7 operational hub of the Mechanism. It coordinates the delivery of civil protection assistance to disaster stricken countries such as relief items, expertise, intervention teams and specific equipment. Through a direct link with the national civil protection authorities of the Mechanism's participating states, the ERCC ensures rapid deployment of civil protection assets.
Additionally, the ERCC provides emergency communications and monitoring tools through the Common Emergency Communication and Information System (CECIS), a web-based alert and notification application enabling real time exchange of information.
Emergency Response Capacity
To further enhance the European preparedness for disasters, European countries created the European Emergency Response Capacity (EERC) in 2014, as part of the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. The EERC brings together a range of relief teams, experts and equipment, which participating states make available and keep on standby for EU civil protection missions all over the world. This voluntary pool allows for a faster and more effective EU response to disasters and it ensures better planning and coordination of EU operations.
Prevention and Preparedness
Via the Mechanism, the European Commission supports and complements the prevention and preparedness efforts of participating states, focusing on areas where a joint European approach is more effective than separate national actions. These include improving the quality of and accessibility to disaster information, encouraging research to promote disaster resilience, and reinforcing early warning tools. In addition, the Mechanism provides training and exercise programmes for experts and teams from the participating countries.

The Odisha police have called in heavy reinforcements and are moving into positions all evening around the villages of Dhinkia and Gobindpur in Jagatsinghpur District of Odisha state. These villages form the epicentre of over 6 years of successful peaceful resistance to the scandalous POSCO steel-mining-power-port project – the world's largest. This project is being pushed through by Odisha and Indian Governments in blatant violation of fundamental rights and a variety of environmental and economic laws of India.
According to confirmed sources within the Odisha establishment, the attack on this peaceful resistance is more than likely early morning tomorrow, if the police do not unleash terror overnight. The resilient people of these villages including women, children, elders, youth and men are holding overnight vigils along the borders of their villages now and will stay so till the police withdraw.
An alarming aspect of such abuse of police powers is that over 26 platoons of police have been mobilised around these villages over the past two weeks. Such heavy police presence betrays the Odisha Government's claims that the acquisition of land for the project is peaceful.
The current Senior Police Officer in charge of the operation is the former Superintendent of Police of Kalinganagar, who had ordered firing on villagers protesting the Tata Steel plant, killing many tribals and injuring scores more. Under this officer's ruthless leadership, the Odisha police has effectively declared an emergency on the resisting villages, completely halting normal life over the past several weeks. It is more than likely now that a needless carnage will result because of the such strong arm tactics of the police.
On behalf of the POSCO Pratirodh Sangram Samithi (PPSS), this urgent release is being made requesting your earliest attention to this impending disaster.
For more details about the ground situation, please contact:

Pentax K-50 Digital SLR Camera
Good value DSLR camera
I recently procured for myself a Pentax K-50 DSLR camera and have enjoyed it immensely. Being a new parent and also developing a keen interested in photography I knew I needed an upgrade from my usual point-and-shoot digital camera. I upgrade technology and equipment at a slower rate than many of my counterparts, partially because I operate on a modest teacher's salary and income from odd contract work… also because I tend to get the most out of my equipment for as long as I can. I tend to purchase computers every 6 to 8 years instead of the usual 2-3. I enjoy point-and-shoot digital cameras simply because they have improved over each previous generation in quality and features greatly and usually only replace them when they break or become severely obsolete. This time around I decided to splurge and research DSLR brands and came to favor the Pentax K-50.
Canon and Nikon are the most favored brands, the Pentax seems to be the oddball in the bunch, but I can't seem to fathom why. The Pentax K-50 is regarded as the most overlooked model of the mid-to-entry level DSLR group of products. I teach a digital photography class that is blessed with a set of Canon Rebel T3i's and an older Nikon D70. While these are fine cameras I hesitated to go down the same route when it came to my choice for a personal camera. I choose the Pentax K-50 for two main reasons, firstly it is water-resistant and dust proof, a feature that is rare-to-nonexistent in the K-50's price range. On YouYube you can find a video of a US soldier burying his Pentax DSL's in dirt and dust and then washing them off under a shower, a solid testament if I ever saw one. The second reason is that the Pentax K-50 can use almost any Pentax lens and Pentax has used the same K-mount since the 1970's. As most photographers know, taking great photos is more about the lens than the camera. I was able to find a great set of older prime lenses such as my favorite 50mm 1:2 for very little money. The Pentax K-50 DSLR came with a resistant AF lens. Many people sell their old Pentax film cameras with lenses and great bargains are everywhere. This is an awesome feature for anyone that wants to build a collection of lenses for different shooting conditions on a modest budget.
The Pentax K-50 is packed with great features that are rare on other entry level cameras such as focus peaking, which highlights areas of focus with white highlights so you can really have tight control over your depth of field. It has some really nice preset artistic image filters that allow you to shoot in B&W, add vignettes, shoot in HDR, etc. My favorite feature is the ability to shoot double exposures right in the camera, no Photoshop needed. The K-50 isn't the best choice for shooting video, as it suffers from some rolling shutter issues, as many DSLR's do… for video the camera needs to be held steady or used with a tripod for best results. The video samples I have shot do look good… crisp HD and looks great through my lenses and audio is good despite the lack of an external mic jack. If I was shooting a real video project I would use my trusty Zoom H2 audio recorder anyway. The K-50 sports a 16 Megapixel resolution which is more than enough for my purposes. It may have less resolution than some of its counterparts, but unless you are printing billboards it is more than sufficient.
Overall this is a very well featured camera with enough resolution to get the job done, it has backwards compatibility and comes in at a great price. It is compatible with Eyefi memory cards. The battery bay can take either rechargeable battery packs or with an adapter run on AA batteries, a great option when away from power sources. The K-50 is rugged, easy to use and fun. I couldn't ask for more for the price. Did I mention it comes in a variety of colors, I choose the white on black model, who doesn't want a camera that looks like a stormtrooper? No one, that's who.06/11/15

The Lubrizol Corporation announced January 19 its decision to proceed with a 10-year phased investment plan to upgrade operations and increase global capacity in additives. The centerpiece of the investment plan is a new, wholly owned greenfield plant in China supplemented by select debottlenecking projects and infrastructure improvements at existing plants in the United States and Europe.
This plan was announced in 2008 but was placed on hold in 2009 due to the global recession and resulting uncertainty regarding demand. Worldwide additive demand recovered significantly in the second half of 2009. Normal market growth is 1-2% annually. This investment is needed to keep pace with demand and to ensure the security of future supply and reliability of operations.
As part of the 10-year plan, Lubrizol has signed a letter of intent to reserve land use rights for a wholly-owned manufacturing site in South China within the Zhuhai Gaolan Port Economic Zone. A wholly-owned manufacturing facility will be developed and phased in to meet market demand. By phasing in select capacity additions in China, Lubrizol aims to respond to lubricant growth in Asia and better match its manufacturing footprint with global demand patterns. The site is ideally located for exporting products throughout Asia.
The China plant will require an investment in excess of $200 million over the next three years. In addition, Lubrizol plans to accelerate reinvestment at existing plants for upgrading infrastructure, as well as ensuring compliance with ever increasing health, safety and environmental requirements. All together, these efforts will involve investing more than $1.0 billion over the next decade.
Dan Sheets, Lubrizol Additives president, commented, "Over the past five years we have stated that we would improve our financial returns in order to justify reinvesting in the business. By making these extensive investments, we are keeping our commitment to customers and ensuring that we continue to be the most reliable supplier."
Lubrizol plans to break ground at the Zhuhai Gaolan site in late 2010. The plant will include select additive components, eventually incorporating driveline, industrial and fuel components, manufacturing and blending. The new plant will be complementary to Lubrizol's existing joint venture, Lanzhou Lubrizol Lanlian Additive Company Ltd., which will benefit by doing more business with Lubrizol.

Never mind the internecine Democratic politics of Connecticut and the role that ethnic, labor and local sentiments will play in deciding the primary contest between centrist Senator Joe Lieberman and liberal challenger Ned Lamont. Never mind that the contest has made Connecticut the front line in an increasingly bitter brawl involving MoveOn.org and the liberal blogosphere on one side and the Democratic Leadership Council and a substantial contingent of the party's Washington elite on the other. Never mind that both sides spend inordinate amounts of time debating whether George W. Bush thanked Lieberman for the senator's unwavering support of the Iraq War with a slobbering kiss or merely a peck on the cheek when the two embraced at a State of the Union address.
When the votes are counted on August 8, the whole of the Connecticut primary, and much of the national debate over the direction of the Democratic Party, will be boiled down to a one-line pronouncement. It will either be "Antiwar challenger trounces Lieberman" or "Lieberman prevails over war foes." The reduction of this complex contest to a headline may not be entirely fair, or entirely accurate. Yet it will be understandable, because to the surprise of just about everyone, the man Democrats nominated for Vice President in 2000 is in a fight for his political life with a previously unknown candidate who decided a few months ago to surf the wave of anger stirred by Lieberman's emergence as the loudest Democratic defender of the occupation of Iraq.
Of course, if Lieberman prevails, antiwar liberals will claim that Lamont took on an impossible task and did better than expected. But few who have paid attention to the dynamics on the ground in Connecticut–where a recent Quinnipiac poll found 73 percent of voters disapprove of Bush's handling of the war–or the broader national debate about how Democrats should address the occupation of Iraq will see it that way. Lamont may have started as a "nobody"–albeit a very wealthy and politically savvy "nobody"–but a smart, well-funded campaign, generous media attention and the hard work of a very attractive candidate and his energetic grassroots supporters will by election day have made the challenger Lieberman's match. Indeed, a mid-July Quinnipiac poll had Lamont ahead 51 to 47. As such, the Connecticut primary will be a no-excuses test of whether Democratic voters–who tell pollsters they desperately want a clean break with Bush and his war but who have not always embraced candidates who propose to make it–are now willing to hold prominent Democratic officials accountable for facilitating the madness of King George. If Connecticut Democrats reject Lieberman, Democrats in Washington, including 2008 presidential prospect Hillary Clinton, will have to take notice. If Lieberman prevails on August 8, or if he loses in the primary but wins as an independent candidate in November, then the DLC and its amen corner will argue more aggressively than before that the Democratic Party and its candidates must continue to eschew not just a tough antiwar stance but the general opposition to all things Bush that grassroots activists demand. "This is a fight for the soul of the Democratic Party," argues the DLC's Marshall Wittmann.

Tales of the Ex @ RomanceClass -
A relationship is like a snow flake, no two are the same.
I was married for 19 years with 3 children. She never worked, she didn�t want to and it worked for us. A friend took her to a show by this regional band� 50s type of music. She liked them and got to know the 3 main members. One was a Elvis impersonator. She started being the photosphere for the band and published a monthly fan club magazine, all of which I paid for, she also traveled all over the east coast� which I paid for. This was making her happy and a man is suppose to help his wife find and support what makes her happy. She was away from home for weeks at a time. I worked, took care of my 3 children and a foster child who had serious behavior problems. I know people say that �why did you let her go�? I love my children as much as anyone but I would have bet the lives of all 3 of my children that their mother would NEVER have an affair. I knew this woman for 20 years, she talked about other people having affairs and how bad it was� there was absolutely NO chance that she would. She was having an affair with the Elvis impersonator for a year before I found out. She emptied our bank account and went on a cruise with Elvis. Only because of my mother did I have the money to have the eclectic turned back on and buy food for hour children. Now I have moved to the west coast and making a lot of money, she is working 2 jobs that she hates and has no money� She is with a man who has no children and has never wanted children� About a year later she did email me and say God has forgiven her, she would like me to forgiver her, my reply � I hope you find hell someday�. A relationship is like a snow flake, no two are the same.

Looking for a female flatmate in Heliopolis (Cairo)
Hi my name is Salma and I'm a British national living in Cairo.

During its run at Le Chat Noir over the past year, the comic soap opera Debauchery drew a regular crowd. One character, Taffeta, always speaks of herself by name or in the third person, and if she doesn't mention her proclaimed and self-important title, the audience provides it: "International super model."
Audiences will have to follow the productions to Southern Rep in June. Two serialized evenings of original local theater logged their final shows at Le Chat in May. Pat Bourgeois' Debauchery occupied the second Wednesday of the month, and the six-pack of short plays 6x6 filled the third (those days may change at Southern Rep).
"Wednesday night was a question of what can we program on an off night and see people become patrons of the new scene?" says Mark Routhier, who scheduled shows at Le Chat on behalf of a partnership with Southern Rep during the past year.
The switch in venue quietly marks several changes. The partnership between Le Chat and Southern Rep has ended. Routhier will work with the NOLA Project on a production of Romeo and Juliet in August, and he will teach and direct in Orlando, Fla., in the fall. Southern Rep brings the two shows to its home at The Shops at Canal Place, and both are scheduled through June 2012.
Le Chat will conclude its programming with a big weekend of cabaret performances in early July before closing for the summer. Proprietor Barbara Motley has put the building up for sale, and the cabaret's future is uncertain. She describes that decision as personal and not financial, and she may operate the cabaret without owning the property.
"I don't think Le Chat is just going away," Motley says. "It's just going to look a little different."
Le Chat has hosted national cabaret performers including Karen Akers, Jason Graae and Andrea Marcovicci. It also has been home to Ricky Graham and productions by Running With Scissors and All Kinds of Theatre. With its new play festival and productions like Debauchery and 6x6, it's also been a home to young local writers and actors. When 6x6 started, Routhier collected eight writers who would each produce a 10-minute play about a common theme for a given night. Eventually the pool expanded to 17 writers. The last installment was dedicated to Le Chat — the evening's theme was "Life's Wonderful in Here." The best-attended installment featured Hubig's Pies as a theme. When the company found out about it, it sent a box of pies for the audience.
Regardless of what happens to Le Chat, Southern Rep will be open more nights in the coming year. But the theater scene is experiencing two diverging trends. Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre's and Le Chat Noir's futures are uncertain. (Le Petit cancelled its 2011-12 season in November 2011.) But there is a growing community of active young theater companies and writers, and many have produced work at Le Chat in the past year. Even with the uncertainty of local theater houses, Routhier plans to return to the city following his stint in Florida.
"There's a burgeoning young theater scene in New Orleans that's really exciting," he says. "It has every potential to explode — in a good way."

The top photograph is an outside shot of the Ace Hotel in Portland, Oregon. The shot below is the sign of the Joyce hotel across the road. Apparently, the Ace Hotel used to be as run-down as the Joyce and was, in fact, used in the filming of Drugstore Cowboy. Perhaps one day the Joyce will get a facelift too.
I travel a fair bit in my job and there are many places that, to this day, stick in my mind simply because they were so fantastic. I thought I'd share a few of these with whoever reads this blog of mine.
Back in January 2008 I travelled to Portland, Oregon, for a convention. Alright, a potato processing convention. I decided to stay downtown rather than at the dreary hotel across from the convention centre. Just prior to flying off from Heathrow, I checked out an article in the Travel section of the Saturday Guardian and there I found Beth Ditto talking about Portland and why she loves it so much. She singled out the Ace Hotel in Portland as a place to stay so I took her up on her suggestion and booked myself in.
I've never met Beth Ditto, the singer in a band called Gossip, but if ever I do I'll thank her for pointing me in the direction of this great American city and such a fantastic hotel. For a start the hotel has an amazing website (just key Ace Hotel, Portland into Google and you will see what I mean). The hotel is arty and a bit leftfield, the rooms are a joy to behold with murals on the walls and low beds. It's a bit like the hotels you might expect to find in an episode of The X Files – a kind of safe, clean and tidy version of the slightly ill-at-ease Joyce across the street. Key 'Joyce Hotel, Portland' into Google and check out the comments on a website called Hostelz.com.
My room on the third floor of the Ace, afforded me a view of the Joyce and some of the strange people populating the rooms. Directly opposite from me was a man living in a room with walls and furniture covered by red graffiti. It didn't matter what time of day it was, the television and a light, were always on. It's more of a hostel than a hotel, according to those who have supposedly risked life and limb and stayed there; and, from the comfort and safety of my hotel room, I often considered nipping over there and spending just one night among the pimps, prostitutes and drug addicts who, apparently, occupy the place. There have been reports of fighting in the corridors, while others have said its fine if you keep yourself to yourself. Best, it has been argued, to get your own room as there is an option of dormitory accommodation. One comment on the Hostelz.com website said it was fine if you wanted to live out your Jack Kerouac On the Road fantasy, but otherwise stay well clear. Fortunately, my better judgement won through in the end, but there's an experience I guess I didn't have.
As for the Ace, well, what can I say? The food and beverage operations downstairs are not run by the hotel but are franchised out – or that's what I was told. There's a restaurant and bar with its own microbrewery and there's an excellent coffee shop, ideal for breakfast as, thankfully, the Ace doesn't have the traditional hotel restaurant that doubles as a breakfast room in the mornings.
The hotel is ideally located on First and Stark and is literally a stone's throw from Powell's, the biggest bookshop in the world. I recommend you go there and check out not just the books but the seemingly hand-made magazines that must be produced in students' front rooms in and around the Portland area. Alternatively, there is Portland itself. First and Stark is no more than a ten-minute walk from anywhere and there's an excellent tram system too.
I loved Portland and I loved the Ace Hotel. In fact, I booked in to the Ace in Seattle on my way home and that was just as good but a little smaller. The staff are friendly too and, dare I say it, the place is considerably 'hip'. It's a cool hotel, put it that way. My only regret is that I didn't take the train from Seattle to Portland on my inward journey; or, for that matter, my return trip. Instead I flew Horizon Air on a particularly stormy evening and I hate turbulence more than anything, bar a soft pickled onion. The train, I was told, follows the Pacific coastline for a while before veering inland to Portland. If I get the chance to go there again, I'll take the train and perhaps I'll check in to the Joyce for a night too, but I'll make sure I have my reservation at the Ace, that's for sure.

MA in Theology
MA in Theology
- PAC CodeDC693(Full Time), DC694(Part Time)
- Course Type Postgraduate
- NFQ Level 9
- Delivery Modes Full-Time, Part-Time
- Duration Full Time - 1 Year, Part Time - 2 Years
In today's university setting, theology is understood as 'faith seeking understanding', an academic study of religion that takes place within a pluralist, multi-religious, secular, and interdisciplinary context. Taught by staff with internationally distinguished records in research and teaching, the MA in Theology welcomes students from varied religious and secular backgrounds. Emphasis is placed on ecumenical perspectives on theological themes and questions, on the study of sacred texts and languages, and on interreligious dialogue, particularly the discourse between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The programme will equip you with key cultural, historical and ethics insights, as well as tools for reasoning, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary research.
Graduate View
"I wanted to pursue my interest in theology, which came about after studying for a degree in religious education. I studied the full-time MA Theology for one year. Theology works with disciplines such as philosophy, social science, history, psychology and others, that help to bring the best of human thinking to bear on the meaning and presence of God in the world. It leads to thinking and involvement in issues in inequity, injustice, concerns for the environment, anti-Semitism, and it does not shy away from difficult questions. It has relevance for living in this culture and this time." Pamela McLoughlin, MA in Theology graduate
"I enjoyed studying the MA Theology course. I appreciated being able to audit courses in addition to those I was taking for credit. The thesis was particularly useful in allowing an in-depth study of an area of particular interest. I have a lot of experience working and living among the rural poor in Rwanda. Having had this chance to explore the questions my own life experience had raised was of great benefit as I worked as an intern healthcare chaplain." Helen Spragg, MA in Theology graduate
Why Do This Programme?
You'll have access to DCU's widely recognised expertise in the fields of theological ethics, biblical studies, systematic and philosophical theology, and to the resources of our Institute of Ethics and the Centre for Interreligious Dialogue.
Upon completion of this programme, you'll:
- Demonstrate and apply an understanding of a broad range of theological perspectives, the relationship between philosophy and theology, and the contribution of theology to the contemporary search for meaning and values, justice and peace
- Display a critical awareness of current scholarship in specific areas of theology, and of key issues in ecumenism and interreligious dialogue
- Know how to analyse and critique historical and contemporary theological texts, with particular emphasis on primary sources
- Be able to undertake theological research, present written research and engage in theological dialogue in a variety of contexts in the academy, in church and faith communities, and society
Programme Structure and Content
You can complete this course in one-year, full-time, or in two-years, part-time.
As a full-time student, you'll take six taught modules over the course of a single academic year. You'll also complete a research module that includes a series of seminars on research methodologies and a minor thesis. In addition, you may take an optional language module. Typically the programme is taught one or two evenings per week, usually Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The part-time plan follows much the same criteria as the full-time course, except you'll complete your six taught modules and the research module over the course of two years. The part-time programme also runs on an evening schedule.
Programme Aims and Objectives
The MA in Theology focusses on research in Systematic Theology, Theological Ethics, Philosophical Theology, Biblical Theology, Interreligious Theology, and Pastoral Theology. Research in these thematic areas is blended with interdisciplinary teaching, sensitive to both local and global contexts. Balancing theoretical and practical elements, in light of ancient, medieval and modern contexts, the programme addresses religion in its many forms across diverse cultures.View the current course structure →
Why DCU
Theology in DCU is studied in a distinctively ecumenical, interreligious, and interdisciplinary environment. The School offers an MA Theology programme that explores not only the sources and roots of religion but also its contemporary setting.
