Question about Canon EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera
As a fellow Expert on the site you caught my attention in the Expert's lounge, and I was curious as to what your expertise was on, and found some of your camera related solutions to be of a higher experience level than my own, and while I know a bit on the technical aspects as well as form and function of photography, I only recently bought and started using digital, and before that I did not have a great amount of experience with photography with film anyway.
Anyway, my request is for experience advice that you may have regarding night exposures, specifically with digital cameras (I have a Canon EOS XSi that gives me shivers on how much it outclasses my previous equipment), and also low-light experimental photography (specifically Macro in low light and also using closed apertures to decrease light exposure on shots)
I have three lenses, one is 18-55mm wide-to average perspective zoom EF-S, one is 75-300mm EF telephoto zoom, and the other is a 50mm EF lens.
I was told that due to the fact my camera uses a sensor which is .6 of the area of 35mm film, and the EF lenses were not made for digital cameras with a smaller exposure area, it magnifies the focal length of the EF lenses by .6, making a 75-300 lens into a 120-480. If you know whether or not this is fact or misinformation, please verify as well.
Problem: I have a macro adapter which I wish to use on subjects, and have a narrow field of view, thus a zoom lens is preferable - however, the 18-55 requires a very close subject but provides a decent DOF strictly in focusing terms, while the 75-300 lens allows a more distant subject but highly restricts the focusing depth, AND on top of all that there is very, very little light. While normally this could simply be corrected by using a tripod, increasing the aperture and decreasing the shudder speed, I have to do it by hand - the subjects are either inaccessable for a normal tripod, or require quick-setup to get the shot, meaning by hand and trying to get the correct focus to aperture compromise within five minutes in usually an awkward position, making hand-shake an issue. What would your recommended lens be, going in close and getting the largest area in focus (and hopefully limiting handshake) but also having a larger than desired shot, or using the 75-300 lens for short focus depth but better manuverability, as well as increase in hand-shake problems.
Second problem: getting night-shots to look as if they were at night. To my amazement, every time I do a night-shot and expose for the camera's desired "correct" exposure, it looks like early morning instead of 1AM. To compensate I've been increasing shutter speed, but that only seems to work to a degree. Also, I use the highest ISO speed (1600) in order to produce a grain effect as well as be able to lower the handshake issue even when I increase the shutter speed, since the shutter speed for a very dark exposure is still around 1/25th of a second. What I'm considering is whether or not increasing the aperture instead of increasing the shutter speed would produce better night-shots and just do enough bracketing to compensate for handshake or pack a tripod around to use as a unipod for stability.

I do almost all of my normal photography using manual focus, aperture and shutter speed. Needless to say I don't do much action photography.
However, for the quick-macro shots (insects, dew drops, rain, paint drying, whatever catches my fancy) I care less about shutter speed and more about the aperture, and use AV - though on everything non-macro I use the lowest aperture setting possible under normal circumstances. It's part of my style, for whatever reason. Thus, I am unfamiliar with the effects it may play in a night-shot.
As I shoot purely in RAW and make no exceptions I also have to process it - and it seems I'm as lazy about processing RAW files as I was about processing prints, but I believe I can get a few basic, unpolished images to my flickr account for an example.
Thank you for the info on the sensor ratio multiplier, and also concerning the ring strobe - I've seen them but that was before I began photography and haven't thought of one since, but it would indeed be perfect to add light to a close subject while using a macro adapter/lens in photography.
As it is, I only have miscellaneous shots, but the pile waiting on my harddrive is just begging to get some air.
I dislike serving something before it is suitable, but I may as well, with the notice that I am updating it and currently do not have any exposures of note concerning my interest in this particular thread, but shall in a while.
Can you still post a reply, or has my rating the conversation locked/lost the query?
Hello, thanks for the compliments!
First, yes, the Digital Rebel series of cameras (my first DSLR was the first Digital Rebel, the 300D model) have a small sensor than a "full frame" sensor, which results in a "multiplicationfactor" or "crop factor" of .6. This is good for telephoto shots (yourtelephoto lens ends up acting like a "longer" and more expensive lens) but bad for wideangle shots.
For Macro, you need very bright light to have enough light to use a small fstop for needed DoF because even at the smallest fstop (largest number) your DoF will still be very small. This typically means you need to use a strobe. The strobe will help freeze the image so you can still shoot hand-held. For hand-held use look for a "ring strobe" that fits around your lens and lights the item in front of your lens.
Focusing is a very tricky matter when you are shooting in macro. Usually you go to manual focus, set the lens to manually focus at either infinity or the closest distance, then you "focus" using the zoom, rather than the focus ring.
For night shots, you need to change to manual exposure and adjust to get the exposure you desire. Your camera's light meter doesn't know how bright or dark the thing you are viewing is - to the light meter everything you point it at is supposed to be exposed to medium gray - an average value. It can't know that you want a dark shot to stay dark.
Here's how I do it. First, I bump up the ISO so I can take a fast shot, and I set the camera to AV mode. Then I set the lens to the widest aperture (smallest number). I let the camera set the shutter speed as I take this test shot, and look at the exposure. Then I determine if I want the shot darker and if so how much. Now I switch to manual mode - same aperture and shutter as the previous shot, and adjust the shutter speed faster to produce a darker image. When I have the right settings, then I adjust the ISO and as I adjust the ISO I have to compensate with the shutter. E.g. if I have a good exposure at ISO 1600 @ f2.8 @ 1/30, to drop to ISO 100 means I have to slow the shutter to 1/2 second. Now, I usually also want a smaller aperture (larger number). To go from ISO 100 @ f2/8 @ 1/2 second to f/16 is 6 stops, which takes the time needed from 1/2 second to 15 seconds. Obviously this means the camera needs to be on a tripod.
I can help more if you can give me a link to some of the photos you have taken so far so I can see what you are shooting, and make suggestions for how I would approach the same subject and situation.

I'd love to see your photos - can you share your flickr account?
I can post a reply, but I only see your first question and my first reply - none of the subsequent replies (yours or mine) which makes it rather hard to build on prior discussions!

When the WannaCry ransomworm hit in May 2017, affected organizations included hospitals, government agencies, universities, and major global corporations in Europe and Asia affecting over 300,000 systems in more than 150 countries. That was just the beginning. In June, NotPetya (GoldenEye), another destructive ransomworm hit hard in the Ukraine, affecting the power grid, shutting down Kiev's main airport, and then spread outward into Europe and India. Some of the major companies affected included Maersk, DLA Piper, Evraz, Rosneft, Saint Gobain, Mondelez, and the Heritage Valley Health System.
Both of these ransomware attacks had a number of technical similarities, but of those commonalities, there were a few things that should make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
- The original payload of both ransomworms was delivered through a known vulnerability that was addressed in a patch in April 2017. (See: Security update for Office 2016: April 11, 2017)
- The "worm" side of the ransomware attack used another known exploit that was addressed in a patch in March 2017. (See: Security Update for Microsoft Windows SMB Server: March 14, 2017)
- The secondary infections did not require the original payload to be executed. Both of these ransomworms spread to other computers through the networks of the ground-zero systems.
Both of the identified attack vectors had security patches released before the attacks took place.
"99.9% of the exploited vulnerabilities had been compromised more than a year after the associated CVE was published." — Verizon 2015 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR)
This means that almost all malware attack vectors are not zero-day exploits. They are exploits derived (in part) by reverse-engineering security patches to determine the most effective way to execute their payload. What this says, and is further acknowledged by the latest Microsoft Security Information Report, is that there are still too many unpatched or out-of-date systems. Yes. Patching is a chore. It is (can be) tedious work and most network administrators cringe at the thought of rolling out untested patches. According to the Security Information Report, over 20% of Windows 7 PC's are not up-to-date with security and/or patching. Windows 8 and 8.1 unpatched rate is approximately 10%, while Windows 10 is at 5%, and Windows 10 Anniversary Edition is less than 3%.
Considering that Windows 7 still makes up a huge percentage of deployed workplace desktop operating systems, that translates to a lot of reasons for malware authors to continue their malicious assault on the insecure desktop space.
Now, more than ever, we need to appreciate and understand the importance of staying up-to-date with AV and AM sofware, and patching operating systems. And we need to make sure that backup isn't just a word.
Need help patching? Need to look at your security landscape for your business? I'd love to chat with you.
Stay safe!

When we were in Minnesota Danya got lots of practice putting on extra clothing. This was good for several reasons. First and best of all she can now pull down her own underwear and shorts to make Shishi on the potty and pull them back up! Yay! One step closer! Secondly, which makes for a lot of fun, she has learned the value of dressing up to be "Gorgus!"(gorgeous)
The following photos are a little sampling of the cuteness she has put together over the past week. I say a sampling because I didn't always have a camera handy.
and before anyone asks... She is wearing underwear in the below photos. Just because she can pull up shorts too doesn't mean we have to wear them in the house. It's all about learning this process a step at a time.

text: kyle 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2006 There have been topics in here forever that ask if an item is a scam when most of them are obvious to the knowledged ebayer that they are or aren't. Here are a list of tips to tell if something is a scam or not. Just because an auction has the item at a low price DOESN'T mean it's a scam! I see so many people posting links to items with 3 days left and say things like "Wut, this dvx100 iz only at $120!, Can i get it at this price?" You must understand, the price of an item can be very low but can go up in the last day or even the last few hours, if it doesn't, it's probably not legit. MOST LOW PRICES ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE This one is pretty self-explanatory, if you see an fx1 for $1000, it's a scam. If you see "BRAND NEW DVX" for $1400, its still too good to be true. Use good judgement, usually ebay has a lot more than just one person selling a product, so go see what they are normally running for, this will help you tell if it is too good to be true. STOCK PHOTOS ARE SKETCHY! If everything about the item looked a little bit "iffy" and on top of that they had stock photos, they are probably a scam. Be careful, some people will even take other peoples non-stock photos to make it look like they took the picture themselves. Search around to make sure this isn't happening. Request pictures e-mailed to you of the camcorder or whatever your buying, I'm sure they could get a picture somehow. LOOK AT FEEDBACK First, if somebody has 0 feedback, DON'T buy an item off them that is worth over $50 or so. Everybody has to start out at 0, so give them a chance, but I would NOT recommend buying something like a vx or even an optura off of somebody with 0 feedback. You probably worked hard for that money, so be patient and find a user with better feedback. The next thing on feedback, If you are going to lay down 2 grand for a camcorder or something of this sort, look at their feedback in depth. Personally I wouldn't deal with someone under 97-98 percent, but maybe I'm just strict. Not only look at this, but click on "Read Feedback Comments" and look at when they were last active, how many positive in the last month, 6 months, how many negative were in the past month, 6 months. Look at if the feedback is from buyers or sellers. Remember, somebody could buy tons of $1 items to get their feedback rating up just so they can post up a $2,000 item and screw you over on it. ONLY USE PAYPAL Seriously, I would only go with paypal on ebay. If you are selling, it's fine to accept checks but wait for them to clear before you send the item. As for buying, DO NOT USE WESTERN UNION, DO NOT USE ANY OTHER MONEY TRANSFER like that. Don't use checks or anything, paypal keeps the best records of what you are buying and you get a nice little receipt sent to prove that you paid for it, it's way easier for them to screw you over using another method. DON'T DO BUSINESS OUTSIDE OF EBAY! In this topic about an fx1 being a scam or not, I went to the item and saw this in the auction.... "If you want to buy for only 1000 $ please email us directly ( firstname.lastname@example.com ) " NO! DO NOT EMAIL HIM DIRECTLY. Tons of people scam by tricking people to do business outside of ebay, if he wanted a buy it now, he could've put one on the auction. Stick with business ON EBAY! MAKE SURE YOU FIND OUT WHAT CONDITION THE ITEM IS IN Some people get through all of these tips and forget this one. Find out if you are buying a broken vx or not, most the time it has a little table and it says the condition, if not, find out from the user. DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK QUESTIONS Ask the user questions, he is selling an item and if it is over $100 I'm sure he will be more than happy to answer it, if the user won't answer your question and it is important, he is probably avoiding it and you shouldn't deal with him. READ EVERYTHING This one is obvious, but read everything. Heres what people will do. They could put in the title "brand new vx1000" and even have a nonstock picture and list information about the vx1000 but then along the way somewhere it will say "Note: this is only for the battery and not the whole camera" and sell it for $300 to some moron who didn't read everything. These things can happen! LOOK AT HOW MANY DAYS THE AUCTION IS FOR I see a lot of scams that are one day auctions. Now why would someone put up a one day listing? Trust me, most legit items are 7 day auctions. If its a 1 day auction, then its already sketchy and you shouldn't trust them. IF YOU STILL AREN'T SURE, ASK US Seriously, A lot of people on here, including me, can tell you if an auction is probably a scam or not. IM me at kylec4321 and I can tell you, or if you still can't figure it out from these tips, then post a topic and people will help you out. Here is an example of what I am talking about. Someone asked if that was a scam. If they would have been knowledged of this, they would have seen at least 4 things: A one day auction. Wanting to do deals outside of ebay. Stock photos. And on top of that all, not paypal. Also beware, people can hack into accounts, so feedback isn't everything, especially in the case of that fx1. Someone please pin this.

We started this morning with breakfast at..... (you know where!). The skies were partly cloudy and expected to be partly cloudy/sunny all day.
We started out to the Park around 7:45am. We proceed west through Lamar (no wildlife along the way except for bison). We arrive in Lamar Valley and come across a coyote (with his mate) who just woke up.... we got some cool images of him yawning and stretching. His mate was in the sage brush and we left before she appeared. It is our understanding after we left, he was trying some hanky panky with her but she wasn't in the mood.
While we were photographing the coyotes, we heard the beauty of wolf howls. They appeared to be coming from the west so we hightailed it westward. We came across the wolf watchers but they lost the signal and surmised the wolves they were following went North. They were not aware of the howls we heard. They suspected it was 755M and his new mate. We were told there were some bull elk on the hill in Lamar but they went over the ridge before we arrived.
We stopped at the Yellowstone picnic area and we were surrounded by bison. I got a beautiful image of a bison with a snowy face and he turned towards the light at the right time. Snap!. We were told of a big horn ram at the next pullout so off we go. We pull in and there is this beautiful big horn ram with the perfect pose in perfect morning light by a tree with a mountain background.. and I am looking at this scene and staying, "OMG, thats perfect"... I admired too long and by the time I started to get out and photograph this scene, he moved..... I kicked myself all day for the missed "Golden" opportunity. I am sure when I am back in June and see that tree, I will kick myself more......
We proceeded westward and only saw cow elk and bison. We stopped at the Wraith Falls pull out and spoke with two other photogs who saw and took photos of the two alphas of the Blacktail wolf pack when they crossed the road. We missed them by an hour or so (figures....)
We then proceeded back East and saw nothing (did some landscapes) until we were back in Lamar Valley. We were photographing a big horn ram when a photographer told us that the Blacktail Pack brought down a elk cow by Undine Falls (way off the road) but it might be worthwhile to check out. So we go back west to Undine Falls but all the wolf watchers were gone. We were told the Pack ate their meal and bedded down.
Then we were told about a coyote at Blacktail Lakes. We found him with Ralph's help but he was far out. We drive on and a coyote is walking up the road right at us. We brake and left him move by safety. Nothing significant on the way back to Lamar. We drive by the elk carcass and there is a Golden eagle feeding on it! I decided to do some "drive by shooting" and snapped a few pics of the Golden eagle. This was, IMHO, a Golden hit! (pun intended).
We headed east with our hotel in Cooke City as the destination but we stopped along the way to do some landscape photography with evening light. The image in this blog is some "snow pillows" we found.
As we are driving out of the Park, it started snowing heavily (remember that partly cloudy/sunny) forecast? We come across a accident, the truck doing some National Geographic work in the Park slid off the road and was tilted sideways. There were two rangers and a tow truck there. The roads were slippery from the fresh snow.
So, overall, a "slower day" for us vs. the previous 4 days but still a good day as we got many images we never had before!
Tomorrow is Day 6. We are moving out base of operations to Gardiner for the final two nights in preparation for our departure Saturday am
Stay tuned for Day 6!

What is your major/minor?
Athletic Training
What year in school are you?
Interesting fact?
I don't care for the Beatles' music at all. That was liberating.
What do you do outside of being a busy student?
I spend 98.3% of my free time at the lake (in the summer) or up in the mountains (during the winter) with my phone turned off, and guitar or banjo in hand.
How many semesters have you been facilitating?
Which courses do you facilitate for now, or have in the past?
What are your short-term and long-term goals, and how does SI (Supplemental Instruction) relate to those?
My short term goal is to graduate, and my long term goal is to work for a company that specializes in veteran care.
What is your favorite SI moment?
When the students of the class I facilitate for began to form their own study groups. They came together in a way that really showed that they were interested in other peoples' success in the class. It was really inspiring.
What have you gained from being an SI facilitator?
Learning new methods and techniques that help people learn.
What study tips/techniques do you have for students?
COLLABORATE! Learning is so much easier with like-minded people you can discuss the material with.
What do you like/what excites you about the material you SI for?
Nucleic acids, a whole lot... is that weird?
What has been your favorite collaborative learning technique (CLT) that you have done in your sessions?
I'm a fan of "speed dating," where students write five questions over the material that is still troubling them. They make two lines and, in pairs, have a discussion about their questions. Without fail someone has a different way of explaining it that helps someone else understand the concept.

Limerick Reviews and Summaries
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice
Labour's dangerous strategy
So Labour has a new strategy - try to embarrass the Conservatives. Their preferred weapon of choice is Daniel Hannan, UK MEP and darling of the American right, who has a rather amusing habit of saying incredibly sensible and completely batty things - often in the same sentence. Like so much of what Labour chooses to do, their plan is stupid:
(1) Every time the media refers to the latest thing Hannan has said (today's utterance is that he apparently admires Enoch Powell - yeah, well so what, one can admire someone without endorsing absolutely every statement they ever made), they have to remind us precisely who he is. And Hannan is still most famous as the man who eloquently and effectively made Gordon Brown cry when he tore strip after strip off the one-eyed Jock bastard in a European Parliament speech. So that's the clip they use. Not quite the message Labour wanted to endorse, methinks.
(2) Even worse, Hannan is very useful to Cameron. Hannan's extreme views on certain issues will make him very appealing to wavering Conservative voters who might be thinking of voting UKIP because they think Cameron is a Tony Blair wannabe. Seeing Hannan might be enough to keep them in the fold. Yet Cameron can easily dismiss Hannan as a 'mad aunt in the attic' sort of character. He's not an MP, he's an MEP, so it's possible to pretend he's not a Conservative while quite obviously allowing him to be one.
I rather suspect that in drawing attention to Hannan, Labour are playing with fire. You play with matches, you get burned.

There's No Charge In My Battery
July 1, 2010 Leave a comment
So the LIVE BLOG FROM GLASTONBURY didn't really work out, which is a shame, but I have a rubbish Blackberry battery to blame. I took a spare, carefully charged, and put it in the lockups. When I swapped my first when the meter ran red … nothing.
Most frustrating.
However, it was – to put it mildly – one of the best four days of my life. I'm going to do extensive blogging about each day, with gratuitous photos of varying poor quality, but I've been hampered by some bad times that have made my life decidedly emo, so first off I'll talk about how the diabetes maintenance went.
It didn't go well, hehe.

School starts this week for us. Which always means a busier schedule for our entire family. It also means less time to stamp :-( since I teach a few hours a week and home school my oldest. Not to mention dance lessons, brownies, etc. and all the running around that comes with three kids. Time always seem to fly by once we are on the school schedule.
I saw an apple core card on Aimee Gandara's blog and I knew I wanted to CASE it. It was so cute and seem to fit the time of year perfectly. She didn't know who came up with this idea so I have no idea who the original artist is so I apologize for not being able to give proper credit. I have always had a thing for fruit, don't ask me why, I just think they are fun. I love the Tart and Tangy stamp set and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it! So here is my salute to fall and back to school.
1. As always gather your supplies...
RECIPE: CS--Real Red, Whisper White, & Old Olive; Ink--Real Red & Old Olive Markers, Basic Black Classic Ink; Stamps--Tart n' Tangy & Enjoy Every Moment; Ribbon--Real Red Grosgrain; and Punches--1 1/4 Circle, Scallop Edge, 1/16 handheld & Round Tab Punch
2. Color your apple with markers. Don't forget to breath on the stamp after you are done coloring it. This moistens the ink so you can stamp the image again. I used the Tart n' Tangy apple to make my own DSP for this card. I wanted a fun colorful look for this card (plus I am rearranging my office and stamp stuff and couldn't find my Summer Picnic DSP). :-)
3. Using the Round Tab Punch, punch out a white tab and a red one. The white one will be the core of the apple and the red one is the peel.
4. Gently and carefully tear off the top and bottom of the red tab. This will be the top and bottom of your apple core. Attach it to the white tab, making sure to match up the white and red edges. As simple as that you know have an apple core!
5. Add seeds, a stem and some leaves and you are all set. Don't know an easy way to make leaves? Go to this tutorial to learn how.
Aren't our punches fabulous? There is so much that you can do with them. Here is another picture of my finished card. I hope this card helps you get ready for autumn! I know it has put me into the "Fall Mood".

Cheap Michael Kors - Still on the cutting edge
Michael Kors Handbags made a name for himself designing clothes for celebrities. But he's made his fortune with clothes that are "ready to wear" by anyone. He shares his secrets with Rita Braver:
Backstage, the models are frantically prepping to walk the runway. But out in the house where the show will start in just minutes, one man is surprisingly serene:
"Over 35 years of putting on fashion shows, and I don't get nervous," said Michael Kors. "But I guess I'm kind of like the expectant dad, you know? This thing has been a long time coming and you want to see that gorgeous baby."
And indeed, even hardened fashion critics agreed, it was gorgeous! Rufus Wainright sang his heart out, A-Listers like Emily Blunt and Sienna Miller studded the first row, and models of the moment (like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid) strutted their stuff.
Fifty-seven-year-old Michael Kors took a victory lap, and why not? It's been quite a journey.
He showed his first season when he was 21 years old, "and by the time the clothes arrived in the stores, I was 22," he told Braver. "I knew nothing, I have to tell you. I don't know what UPS was. I mean, I didn't know how you actually delivered the clothes to the stores!"
Born on suburban Long Island, he started out as Karl Anderson. But his Mom let him change both his first and last names when she remarried.
And that wasn't all: at age 5, she brought him to a fitting for her wedding gown.
"And I just sat in the corner making a face," he recalled. "And my mom said, 'What's wrong?' And I said, 'I don't know, it's just way too busy -- it had a lot of bows.' And I said, 'You know what? I think it would look better without the bows.'"
Within a few years of graduating high school, he was working at a Manhattan shop where the owners gave him a chance to design his own creations.
The response to the pieces the boutique started having made based on his designs was "Amazing," he said. "I mean, it was crazy. We'd put it in the window and you know (snaps his fingers) you immediately knew a woman would come in and say, 'Oh, can I try it on?' And you'd say, 'Wait, I'm on to something here; let's do more of that.'"
His fledgling line caught the eye of one of fashion's most powerful prognosticators: Anna Wintour, then at New York Magazine:
"I took the collection and I kind of packed it into these big, messy garment bags, and I jumped on the subway, and I went off to see Anna. And I remember it was her fall issue of New York Magazine, and I was her fashion thing to look forward to."
Today, as Editor-in-chief of Vogue, Wintour still cares enough for Kors to step out on the red carpet with him at a fundraiser he's hosting for his favorite charity, God's Love We Deliver, which provides meals to the sick. And yes, she's wearing Michael Kors.
Braver asked, "What is about his work that you like? What gets you into a Michael Kors?"
"I think Michael has always understood the modern American woman, that he is trying to make her look the best that she can," Wintour replied. "He's less concerned about clothes wearing a woman. He wants the woman to wear the clothes."
And it doesn't hurt that some of those women are celebrities: Michelle Obama (in her first official portrait), Viola Davis (at this year's Golden Globes), and Kate Hudson (on many occasions).
"When a woman puts something on, and her whole body changes and her energy changes and her confidence changes, he feels like he's succeeded," Hudson said. "And he really, really lives and breathes it."
There are a lot of boldface names in the world of Cheap Michael Kors Bags, such as the outfit Blake Lively wore while pregnant: "She wore it during the day and threw, like, a grey hoodie over it."
At his flagship store on Madison Avenue, Kors proudly shows off his couture line: sumptuous fabrics, with prices to match.
"The handwork, all of this, is all done by hand," Kors said.
"This dress must cost thousands of dollars," said Braver.
"It does. It does. But you'll have it forever." And the stretchy fabric will keep fitting.
But the bulk of his sales -- and most of the almost 800 other Michael Kors stores -- are devoted to his lower-priced lines. He also designs clothes for men. But, Kors says, his clients all have similar aspirations: "They want to look fashionable and current. They want to feel powerful but sexy. They want to feel youthful but not ridiculous."
It seems hard to imagine, but at one time, Kors almost lost it all. In the early 1990s, the chief backer for his lower-priced line suddenly ran out of money.
"I remember thinking, 'Well, if this doesn't work, like, will I still be me? Will I still be Michael Kors? What will I do?'"
"It must have been so scary for you."
"Scary. And what I learned from it is, you really have to stick to your guts. You know, you've got to stay focused."
He rebuilt the brand, and then in 2004 he got a call that would change his life: "Certainly, reality television and fashion had not merged," Kors said of "Project Runway." "And I knew 'Survivor.' And I said, 'Are designers gonna be, you know, eating bugs and killing each other? What are they gonna be doing?' I thought it was insane!"
The show, which judged the work of aspiring designers, took off, in part, because of now-legendary quips by Kors like, "It's tablecloth-y to me."
But after 10 years, Kors left the show to spend more time on his business, and his marriage with Lance LaPere, his one-time intern who is now creative director of the company.
Braver asked LaPere, "Do you ever tell him, 'I don't think so, that's not a good idea'?"
"Oh, yeah. All the time," he replied. "It's always a back and forth."
And these days, with a net worth estimated at $1 billion, life is very bright for Michael Kors and Cheap Coach Bags:
"I am still so curious about what is next, and what's new," he said. "I think when you lose that curiosity, you know, quite frankly, then you need to do something else. But I feel more juice today than I did when I was 21."
Michael Kors Bags is fed up with department stores damaging its brand
Discount Michael Kors Bags has had enough with department stores' excessive discounting.
After reporting a 7 percent decline in its wholesale business during the fiscal first quarter, CEO John Idol told analysts that come February, the accessories brand will no longer participate in department stores' broad-based friends and family sales, or accept coupons for its products there.
The label will also move forward with its strategy to cut back on the amount of merchandise it ships to these retailers, as it looks to rebuild the pricing power it's lost with shoppers. Because the brand is constantly on sale, consumers have forgotten the true value of the product, Idol said.
These discounts once again damaged its revenue and profit margins in both wholesale and stand-alone stores, Idol added. Michael Kors' same-store sales slid 7.4 percent during the fiscal first quarter, steeper than Retail Metrics' forecast for a 4.2 percent decline.
"It's creating confusion in the consumers' mind relative to the value of the Michael Kors brand when it's being seen so often on sale in so many different places," Idol said. "We have to correct something that we think is actually having a negative long-term effect for the brand."
Because of this pullback, Idol told investors they should expect to see further degradation at department stores for the remainder of the year and into 2017. The company has already started dialing back the number of goods it sends to department stores, a strategy it had previously announced.
Kors' comments come just one day after competitor Coach said that it will exit about 25 percent of the 1,000 department stores where it sells its product. Like Kors, Coach is trying to regain control over the prices charged for its handbags. Unlike Coach, Kors will not pull its brand from any locations.
Cheap Michael Kors Purses are sold at retailers including Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's. Macy's generates the largest chunk of its wholesale revenue and accounted for 12.7 percent of its total sales last year.
The company reported fiscal first-quarter earnings of 88 cents a share on revenue of $987.9 million. That compares with 87 cents a share and $986 million in sales during the prior-year period. Analysts had been expecting the company to report earnings per share of 74 cents on revenue of $953 million, according to Thomson Reuters estimates.
Also hurting Kors during the quarter was a slowdown in travelers visiting the United States, with sales in tourist-dependent cities including New York getting hit particularly hard. Shoppers' preference for smaller handbags, which carry a lower price tag, once again weighed on the company's sales.
Still, management maintained its full-year guidance for revenue and earnings per share, saying it expects growth in its men's, digital and international businesses to offset the decline at department stores. The label will likewise launch smartwatches and smart jewelry in September, which management said should moderate some of the slide it's experienced in its watch business. That was the brand's weakest-performing category in the quarter, posting a double-digit sales decline.
For the full year, management expects revenue to come in flat, at roughly $4.7 billion, with earnings per share between $4.56 and $4.64. The company did, however, lower its outlook for comparable sales. It now expects this metric to decline in a mid-single-digit range, versus its prior guidance for a low-single-digit drop. Its fiscal second-quarter earnings per share guidance likewise fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
"I don't want you to think that we don't understand there will be a decline in certain categories because of this," Idol said. "We absolutely understand that and quite frankly want that because we want to ship less units at lower prices ... that is not the way ultimately to build a luxury business."
Instead, the company plans to sell fewer units at higher prices — something Idol said should, over time, balance out on its top line.
Investors weren't quite as convinced. Shares of Cheap Michael Kors Bags were lower Wednesday, even after the wholesale category posted a much narrower decline than analysts had expected. Michael Kors' reliance on department stores, where it generated 40 percent of its sales during the quarter, has been one of the biggest concerns among bearish investors.
"We continue to believe the brand is overdistributed, and while the company is doing the right thing by reducing exposure to the wholesale channel, we believe much of the damage has been done," Citi analyst Paul Lejuez said.
Michael Kors Is In A Lot Of Trouble
KORS produced a horrendous Q3.
Comps continue to fall off a cliff and the pullback in wholesale is also very painful.
At 9.5 times forward earnings, KORS is probably still too expensive.
Cheap Michael Kors Bags (NYSE:KORS) is a stock I've defended in the past as I long thought the growth story was simply on hold, not dead. But it seems I've been proven wrong as evidence continues to pile up that would suggest KORS is going to have an extremely challenging time posting any sort of meaningful growth anytime soon. The Q3 report was pretty rough and guidance for the next quarter wasn't exactly great either. Even at 9.5 times next year's earnings, it seems KORS may still be fairly valued at best.
Total revenue was down better than 3% despite the fact that the retail business owns 193 more stores now than it did last year. That accounted for a huge jump in revenue but was offset by not only weakness in comps, but weak wholesale revenue as well.
Comps were down by 6.9% in what has become more of the norm for Discount Michael Kors Bags than a shock. It's quite telling when a 7% decline in comp sales doesn't shock people but KORS has reached that point. It has become a victim of the decline in mall traffic and given its utterly complete dependence upon mall traffic in order to generate retail revenue, the outlook is bleak indeed. Mall traffic has been a problem for many retailers but Knock off Michael Kors Bags seems to be taking it on the chin more than others.

Fanning Powder
Do your playing cards clump together when you spread them?
Magicians spend a fortune on playing cards. After all, they are the core tool in every magicians kit. Keeping them looking and feeling good can be hard work. Moisture and dirt take their toll on the cards over time and older cards become less responsive and clump together
Adding a small pinch of fanning powder to the surface of your cards, even old worn out decks, will make a radical difference. The cards become smooth and the control returns. If you do card manipulation, fanning powder is essential to make sure you get a perfect spread and fan. Our Fanning powder is Standard and Specially Made For Magicians Only. Used my professional magicians who need to make sure their card technique is the best it can be!

MyEnvironment Inc / Media Releases
Media releases from regional environment groups
The Hon. Greg Hunt MP, Minister for the Environment, 22 April 2015
After carefully considering advice from the independent Threatened Species Scientific Committee and submissions from experts, interested organisations and the wider community, I have decided to list the Leadbeater's possum as a 'critically endangered' species.
Threatened Species Commissioner: first cab off the rank "Save Victoria's Leadbeater's Possum from logging"
Federal Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt is set to announce Australia's first Threatened Species Commissioner today as part of his election commitment.
"Assigning a Commissioner to this task is critical in focussing funding and attention to Australia's most 'at risk' species but the role needs some muscle and a meaningful budget as saving Australia's imperilled species won't be easy"
Victoria's emblem the Leadbeater's Possum is one of several mammals to top the crisis list as Australia is awarded the reluctant accolade of suffering the worst mammal extinction record in the world, according to a new CSIRO report - The Action Plan for Australian Mammals 2012. The report was released only days after groups petitioned the UN for an audit of Australia's worsening environment performance.
ALERT - Alliance of Leading Environmental Researchers and Thinkers
An international scientific group has decried Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott's recent
'no more parks' pledge, saying it is badly out of step with environmental reality.
Abbott-National Parks-Press release.pdf (246.10 kB)
The shocking scenes from last night's ABC 7.30 Report has conservation groups questioning fatalities and injuries of wildlife in native forest logging operations in Victoria.
VicForests commit to logging remnant habitat before they downsize after over logging post Black Saturday. 8 years too late.
The controversial Leos foot logging coupe was burnt for regeneration last night. It has broken containment lines and moved into the Toolangi state forest.

Sir David Attenborough urges Prime Minister not to abandon National Environment Powers
Today, 33 United Nations Environment Program Global 500 Laureates (elected to the UNEP Global 500 Roll of Honour in recognition of outstanding practical achievement in the protection of the environment) delivered Prime Minister Gillard a letter urging her not to abandon national environmental protection and devolve powers to state and territory Governments.
In an out of court settlement – VicForests has today avoided being taken to the Supreme Court a third time by environment groups. This follows the case against VicForests coming to an agreed end in the Supreme Court today.
VicForests agreed to protect 9 areas in nationally significant rainforest sites in East Gippsland.
"The out of court settlement means that VicForests agreed to no logging at three forest areas and to modify their logging boundaries in another six Rainforests Sites of National Significance", said Jill Redwood.
"Environment East Gippsland believes that the State government through the Department of Sustainability & Environment should have protected all Rainforest Sites of National Significance by their inclusion in the reserve system. They continue to fail to do so. They have failed to provide that basic protection for nationally significant rainforest sites. We believe that the law requires them to do so and that none of the sites should be on the logging schedule," Ms Redwood said.
The fight against Department of Sustainability & Environment for not protecting all Rainforest Sites of National Significance continues in the Supreme Court next week.

Sales Leader Matthew Riley Joins to Accelerate Growth at Leading Fintech Platform
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - Oct 11, 2016) - Vyze, a leader in cloud-based financial technology for retailers and lenders, announced today that Matthew Riley has joined the company as the Senior Vice President of Sales.
Riley has over 20 years of leadership experience in business development within the financial services and electronic payments space. His depth of industry knowledge and his proven ability to build high-performance teams will be a key in growing Vyze's customer base of enterprise retailer partners.
"The number of retailers seeking to provide more financing options to serve more customers across multiple channels has grown exponentially," said CEO Keith Nealon. "Vyze is dedicated to meeting these challenges by delivering the platform, lender network, lending expertise and support needed to fuel long-term growth for businesses of all sizes."
"Matt's market expertise, industry connections, sales acumen, and ability to build key relationships fit perfectly with our drive to build the leading network of retail and lending partners to provide consumers' financing whenever and wherever they shop. We've been busy this year expanding our executive leadership team and Matt is another fantastic addition to our growing world class team."
Prior to joining Vyze, Riley worked at PayPal in successive enterprise retail roles including Senior Director and General Manager of PayPal's Everyday Spend Vertical, where he led the team charged with advancing PayPal's market-entry into brick-and-mortar retailers. Prior to PayPal, Matt was part of BillMeLater's go-to-market partnership team; he was instrumental in helping drive adoption of BillMeLater by key merchants, which led to company being acquired by eBay/PayPal in 2008.
Riley joins the recent key arrivals at Vyze of CFO John Whitmarsh and Vice President of Product Management Azim Panjwani, as the company continues to add strength to its leadership talent. With additional resources from Vyze's most recent funding round in June, the company is primed to bring its next generation ecommerce and in-store products to market.
"As commerce continues migrating from in-store to online and mobile platforms, and customer preferences evolve, tremendous opportunities are opening up for an omnichannel, enterprise financing platform that Vyze delivers," said Riley. "I'm excited to join the innovators at Vyze and look forward to connecting our best-in-class technology to a growing market of lenders, merchants, and customers."

Computex 2012 saw a good number of Taiwanese companies showcasing their new products for their respective specialised markets, with a few othera branching out into new areas to increase their market share. ASUS was one of the biggest names doing just about everything you can imagine, but there was another, lesser-known brand also trying to gain some time in the spotlight. And it wasn't Aisan at all – it was German.
A lot of you might have been confused when you first saw the Cougar brand in stores online over two years ago. Reviews were scarce and there generally wasn't much to go on other than the price, the listed features and the fact that most of their power supplies were 80 Plus rated. Brave souls who bought them direct from Pinnacle were pleasantly surprised – its like being recommended to buy a Hyundai Getz and finding that its actually quite a good car for its price. The company also makes computer chassis and a number of fantastic-looking cooling solutions and I'm really looking forward to the day when we can actually buy them without looking around for hours without getting hit on by real, actual cougars.
At the Cougar booth this year it was voorsprung durch technic as usual for the Germans, showing off a new line of mechanical keyboards that might find their way onto your wishlist this year. Cougar's ATTACK was in a nice display case showing the same keyboard with LED backlighting in three different colours – white, blue and red. The keyboards use Cherry Red MX mechanical switches and are part of Cougar's premium gaming lineup that it will start selling in Europe.
What makes it special is that each key is individually backlit and, just like Alienware, every key can have its own colour to choose from, allowing you to customise your gaming setup and switching colour schemes based on that game or app you're using. The ATTACK also has a key disable option, allowing you to set which keys you'll be using in-game and disabling the ones you won't. Its a fantastic idea, honestly. It can also disable the Windows key, shortcuts like ALT+TAB and that annoying SHIFT stickykey shortcut. There are also eight macro keys with a on-the-fly record function just like Logitech's. There's also some basic onboard audio controls to flesh out what could be the only possible upgrade from my G11.
The keyboards also feature gold-plated USB connectors with a detachable braided cable and rubber feet. Check out the video below to see what was at their booth and also their new power supply, the Cougar PTX. Its an 80Plus Platinum power supply with 94% efficiency, achieving a standard so highly demanding that most manufacturers don't even think beyond achieving a 80 Plus Gold rating because its much harder to get to the next level than you'd assume.[youtube]aO9TGDQCeg8[/youtube]

Hi Guys,
TGIF! That was a long week!
Last weekend myself myself and my hubby headed to Empire Swords for our date night. We always tend to eat in the same places and hadn't eaten in Empire before so it was nice to try out somewhere new. I had heard recently that there was a new chef in there and the food was tops so we decided to go and see for ourselves. We had been here before for a few nights out, i actually had my 30th birthday bash here last July, and always love it when we go there for drinks so it was nice to see the quiet restaurant side to it.
The menu is fantastic, with a great selection to choose from and its not over priced at all. You can check out the full menu Here
Here's what we had for starters
I simply cannot pass chicken wings by when i see them on the menu. This portion was HUGE and would feed 2 people. They were piping hot, crispy and just the right amount of sauce! The sauce is probably one of the nicest i have tasted and they come with a little side of blue cheese and celery. Yum!
Clive went for the salmon starter and i had to try it. Up until about 2 years ago i wouldn't let salmon cross my lips, but when i got into the healthy eating i gave it a go and i love it now, i'm still a little iffy about the raw salmon, but tried this and really liked it. It was nice and mild and not an overpowering fishy taste.
Once the starters were finished we were both feeling pretty stuffed, so we asked for a little time between our next course arriving, just to get the appetite back up 🙂 When our mains did arrive i was super impressed before i even tasted them. The presentation on them was top of the range and i was ready to tuck in.
I went for the 35 Day Dry Aged 8oz Fillet Steak 'Diane' which was served with spinach and a side of baby potatoes & steamed vegetables. The steak was cooked to perfection and it was simply delicious!
Clive went for one of the daily specials which was lamb served with asparagus and he opted for sweet potato fries, and it was topped with a red wine jus. It was also delicious. I like to try it all out when we are out for a meal. Sharing is caring, as they say!
Dessert time! I had my mind made on this from the min I seen the dessert menu! Lemon meringue pie for me please. Sometimes when you get one of these out they can be quite tangy or bitter but this was so tasty and i loved every bite!
Clive's hot chocolate brownie was unreal too!
As one of us was driving, me to be precise, I stuck to the water while Clive had a few drinks. I know, i'm such a good wifey!
We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Empire, with totally delicious food. Clive even offered his compliments to the chef, i'm almost sure he said his name was Derek Merriman. Thank you to all of the lovely staff at Empire for a great evening and to Derek the lovely chef for adding a few more pounds onto my butt with his delicious food. The customer service was outstanding and food top of the range, We will be back very soon!
Honestly, try it out people, you will not be disappointed! But make sure to book a table as it's quite busy and you don't want to be disappointed if they don't have a table when you arrive!!
They are located on swords main street just beside Cab2000, and you can contact them on +353 1 813 8328 to reserve a table!
Let me know if you try it out and what you think

Replacement teeth will provide the recipient with the ability to better chew their food and in turn better absorb nutrients from their food. Replacement teeth also help to seamlessly restore aesthetics and speech as well as improve self-confidence and health.
A partial denture is made up of one or more porcelain or acrylic teeth made to replace one or more missing teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Gum-coloured acrylic attach these teeth to a metal framework. It is held in your mouth with either metal clasps or precision attachments. Partial dentures are designed to fit your mouth easily. They should never need a lot of pressure to fit onto the natural teeth remaining in the mouth. Several visits to your dentist may be needed to be sure your partial fits properly.
A partial denture helps preserve the life of your remaining teeth.
It is very important to wear your denture every day. If you do not wear your partial for an extended period of time, the partial may not fit properly.
Over time, your mouth will change. The bone and gum areas may shrink or recede, causing the space between the jaws to change. Because your partial keeps its shape, adjustments will be needed to keep your partial fitting properly.
Do not attempt to make adjustments or repairs yourself. It is best to contact your dentist immediately if there is any change in the comfort of your partial denture.
Conventional dentures typically require 3 - 6 office visits after all your teeth have been removed and the tissue healed. It is up to you during these visits to pass judgement on the fit and look of your dentures. Dentures can have specially shaped teeth and gums, gold or silver filling and other characteristics that duplicate natural teeth.
It usually takes a little while to get used to wearing a full denture. There may also be minor adjustments that your dentist will make to fine tune the fit of your denture. After a few weeks, you will be more at ease and your gums adapted to wearing a full denture.
As is true with partial dentures, complete dentures keep their shape. Over time, your mouth will change and adjustments will be needed to keep your denture fitting properly. Always consult your dentist rather than trying to fix the problem yourself. Trying to adjust them yourself will only cause more difficulties.
Remember, your natural teeth and gums need good care too. Be sure to clean your mouth of the bacteria and bits of food that can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.

The consumer-aviation website Skytrax has published its latest annual World Airport Awards, and for the fifth consecutive year, Singapore Changi International Airport took home the crown as the world's best airport. The Skytrax annual rankings are based on the impressions of nearly 14 million flyers from 105 countries. More than 550 airports were included in the survey, which covers 39 service and performance parameters, including facility comfort, location of bathrooms, and the language skills of the airport staff.
Here's a closer look at the other airports that made it to the top of the prestigious Skytrax list.
The terminal continues its two decade streak of wowing travellers with sparkling terminals, exceptional staff, boundless amenities and effortless navigation. Essentials aside, it is the extravagances that lead voters to feel like they're in an amusement park rather than a travel hub. A layover here may begin with a spin through one of five gardens, before dipping your toes into a fish spa or slipping into a massage chair. Others may opt for a ride down the multi-story slide or time at the XBox 360 gaming stations, before launching into feature films at the free movie theatre. Or perhaps, you devote your time to exploring the multitude of excellent restaurants and shops, which sell quality products at normal prices.
ICN provides a truly exceptional travel experience. Those with energy might opt to explore the cultural centre, the movie theatre, the gardens, the ice rink or free transit tours. And, once the activities wear you down, you can seek out a reclining lounge chair in a quiet rest zone for a deep and peaceful sleep. When you awake, you can hop into a free shower before charging your devices and surfing the web – all with total ease. It is no wonder travellers feel the need to extend their layover here!
Asian airports continue to dominate our list of Best Airports in the World, with Tokyo Haneda Airport securing the number three spot, thanks to its extreme cleanliness and efficiency. While HND doesn't offer the same level of fanfare that we see in Seoul and Changi, voters appreciated the Japanese themes throughout the airport. And, those travellers running late for their flights were happy to find staff who were calm, cool and collected. Those who opt to sleep here also leave rested and happy, thanks to the multitude of armrest-free benches, the attached hotel, and the sense of safety and security.

People ask me what private sessions with me are like. Hopefully, this will give you an idea.
A session begins with clients calling me at a pre-arranged time. They pick a time when they will be alone, quiet, and can process afterwards. I get on the phone and feel your energy. I feel issues like a stagnant cloud. I don't need to hear the story. I already know from tuning in. I convert that stagnant energy to sound and dissipate it by emoting it.
Some people who are sensitive to energy feel tingles or lightness in their body. I tell them what the past life core issues are and then I lead them through a series of taps to release the initial pain so it stops bleeding through to this life. We shift their energy (sometimes drastically) so they feel freer than they may ever remember feeling.
