What story are you trying to tell? When you begin to make decisions about your photograph, it is important to consider the story in your image. Are you photographing the food alone, specific ingredients, the chef, the staff or the season? Each decision you make about what to include or not include in your image will help with the story.
Styling is such an important aspect of story telling and a successful food shoot. Patterns and colors can support the subject of your story or distract from it. Think about what sort of message your props and backgrounds are going to convey. For example, if you are photographing Chinese Chicken Salad for a food blog, what will it look like on Asian inspired plates vs. Chinese Chicken Salad on Mexican pottery or on a plain white plate? Are you placing your subject inside of a scene, like a chef's kitchen? Perhaps you want ingredients in view like flower, oil and vinegar, mixing spoons, etc. Remember that when evaluating your propping that less is more.
In many professional settings, like Williams-Sonoma, Martha Stewart, Good Housekeeping or Bon Appetit, the food has been styled well beyond what you would see in a professional restaurant kitchen (outside of an exquisite restaurant like French Laundry, or its equivalent). Food for print has to look both edible and perfect, but must stay within current visual trends. There are numerous techniques used to fake certain foods and it is not always necessary to use the highest quality ingredients (which can be very expensive) to get the best photographs. Trying to cut corners can save you a lot on your budget – a fruit pie stuffed with mash potato rather then expensive fruit that will never be seen can allow you to be able to spend more on props, etc.
When you look at food featured in any of these top catalogs or publications and compare it to your food made at home, do not be disappointed if your food or image doesn't quite look like what you see in those publications. Keep a journal and make notes of which foods worked and which foods did not and the reasons why. Food photography takes time and a lot of patience. You can get close, but it is good to know that most of these high-end images have been created with large budgets and a team of professionals.
Some food shoots for high-end kitchen catalogs can cost anywhere from $12,000 to $40,000 or more, depending on the team. Shoots on these high-budget sets produce incredible results and these results are the work (and photo magic) of teams often made up of a Creative Director, an Art Director, set building team, a Prop Stylist with one to two assistants, a Linen Stylist (sometimes with an assistant), a Food Stylist with one to two assistants, a photographer, an assistant photographer, a digital technician, a retoucher and a Producer to coordinate and bring the whole project together. Try and explore collaboration, as you might not have access to a professional, but you can still experience the process of working in a team by engaging the help of enthusiastic friends/foodies. It is important to remember that a large part of a successful professional photo shoot comes from being able to work as a team moving towards one creative vision.
You thought all those kitchens were real and in stunning houses? Guess again! Many of those "perfect" kitchens have been created through the masterful skills of set building teams brought into studios. Here, the photographer and team can control the light by using many white cards to bounce light in and many black cards to diminish light. There's also the advantage of a post-production team to remove imperfections and digitally make any changes requested after the fact by the creative team. Where possible, usually when using a tripod, try and capture a shot of the environment without props and food. This way, you can make adjustments in post, such as removing props, etc. It looks so natural and real? Yes, the best food photographers and stylists can make everything come to life in a perfect way… Remember, that's their job!
Food photography looks most organic with natural light. What lighting can you use to achieve the best possible results?
Window light on a cloudy day and light in full shade outdoors are always the most stunning for food photography. Set up a bounce card (a white surface that is positioned opposite your light source to bounce light back onto your subject, filling shadows and dark areas – a poster board will do) at a 45-degree angle under the food to bounce light into the front. Be sure to look through the camera lens to make sure the card is out of the frame.
Create a shadow side on the opposite side of the dish (left, for example) by placing a perpendicular black card or hang a black piece of material approximately a foot away from your subject or just outside of the image frame. Look through the viewfinder to be sure that you are seeing what the camera sees.
If you don't have access to natural light then MacGyver it. Create an imaginary window in your house if you don't have the luxury of photographing near actual window light. Set up a "window" using a light source approximately 10 feet away from your subject to the desired highlight side of the dish. Diffuse that light by setting up a "curtain." This "curtain" can be a sheer white sheet, a piece of white material, or silks/diffusion paper specifically used for photographic diffusion, which you can purchase online or in a good camera store. If that doesn't provide enough light onto your subject, then you can use a bounce card to send light back onto the face of the dish (see the paragraph on window light above).
Use a tripod to reduce camera shake. If you are photographing in low light situations, then a tripod truly can make all the difference between a great shot and a blurry image. When purchasing a tripod for food photography, try and buy a model with a "boom arm," as this will enable you to shoot from directly overhead – a very flattering angle for a lot of food stories. Additionally, a tripod will allow for longer exposure time, thus letting in more light. If you are shooting a story with multiple dishes from the same angle, remember to mark the position of the tripod's feet with tape, so this will enable you to reset position the instant the tripod gets kicked or knocked. Even if you are using a smart phone instead of a DSLR, a small tripod is still useful.
Assistants are such a valuable resource in food photography when you are working in a studio or from home. For example, have an extra set of hands to help you bounce light into a side of the subject or to help reset quickly when lighting or creative direction changes. There will always be a time when you have to react to your subject quickly and precious seconds matter. It's always useful to have an additional set of eyes to see if the background and propping is visually exciting or if it is distracting from the subject. If you are cooking the food and photographing yourself, then an extra set of hands can help you prep dishes and clean. Food photography can make an incredible mess!
Timing of dishes is essential to the look of food and pre-prep will help you stay on schedule and have the ability to photograph your dishes looking their best. Photographing a warm, steaming dish after it has cooled or an ice cream when melting might not be the best way to feature them. Ask yourself if the food really looks the best that it can be. You might take the most incredible photograph, but if the food looks inedible, there isn't much that you can do. Remember to pre-light and test all the non-food elements of your image before introducing food. Do as much prep as possible so that you are able to focus on the hero elements (the food) once they arrive on set or once you have prepared them from your own kitchen.
If you are developing your food photography portfolio and don't consider your food to be photo-ready, ordering it or purchasing pre-made items from a gourmet shop or bakery is a fantastic way to start. Even if you are making your own food, getting some items, like bread from the bakery or supermarket, can be helpful.
When you are photographing food, it is crucial that your dish looks edible. One way to ensure this is to have your image color balanced so it is as true to the eye as possible. Even your wall color can cast a tone onto your image. Assess your surroundings and look for colors that might add a tint. If you have beige cabinets, then you will need to color correct your image in post-production, for example. Light from unnatural sources like fluorescent bulbs or tungsten light bulbs cast color tones on an image. Even your clothing can cast an unwanted tone on your subject. Say you are photographing a white dinner set with meringue and you are wearing a red shirt. The red from your shirt will reflect onto the white scene and leave an unwanted tint in the image. Wear all black or a neutral grey to avoid this issue when photographing.
What part of this process is most important to you? Do you want to be a food photographer or do you really want to be a stylist? Do you want to be a chef or a prop stylist? In the commercial world, these jobs are all available and are all distinctly different pay and hours. Assess the aspect of the project that you enjoy most and consider which part truly fulfills you. Perhaps you love it all and want to continue to do some of everything. If you really love one particular aspect rather than the others, look into that as a career and try to look for creative support in the areas you consider your weakest. Focus on your strengths and find the specific role that you really love.
Photographing at a restaurant will be much easier with permission from the staff. Most establishments will be flattered that you are including their food in your social media account(s). You might even be lucky enough to gain permission to access the kitchen or to come back another time for a more detailed shoot. When you set up a table, remind the staff that your job is to get the photo that best represents their beautiful food. Your best chance of success in capturing a fulfilling food photo during a meal is to go in during off hours or right at the start of seating when crowds are low.
If your only opportunity to photograph a dish at a specific restaurant is during peak hours, then remember to be polite and considerate to restaurant staff and other patrons. (Remember that other patrons are also there paying for a specific experience and their experience is as valuable as yours.)
If the staff and chef are included in your photograph, then remember to ask for permission to post on social media by having them sign a model release. You can find and download simple model release documents online. Also, if the setting is identifiable or recognizable, then a property release may be needed in many circumstances, which can also be downloaded online. If you have time in advance, talk to your subjects about wearing clothing of a similar look, feel and color palette to gain image consistency. Also, bring a simple make-up kit with you for controlling skin shine, etc.
If the food is the primary focus of the shot, rather than the staff or the setting, there are a few key tips to help make the image the best it can be:
- Use light
- Obtain proper white balance
- Find color theme(s)
- Wide apertures give you shallow depth of field
- You can process your images
- Add motion
Light is essential to any successful image and food photography is not an exception to that. Get as close to a window as possible and sidelight your dish. If you can't get near a window, use the flashlight app on your smart phone and illuminate the dish from the front and slightly to one side. This won't be as beautiful as natural light, but it will help to get a decent image. There are also many useful photo apps that will enable you to add basic lighting treatments very quickly in post-production. Try exploring some of these and find one that works well for you. It might not be something that you want to employ all the time, but it could help save an image that is suffering from a lack of good lighting.
White balance is very important when photographing indoors. Light in a restaurant could potentially come from three or more sources: window light, kitchen light, and candlelight, etc – each could be a different tint. Most cameras do have Automatic White Balance (AWB) and this setting is very helpful. Even with AWB, you will likely need to make some minor color correction in iPhoto, Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop when you are adjusting your image. Remember, Tungsten light produces a yellow tint, Fluorescent is green, and firelight is orange/red. For more details on white balance and white balance correction, check out our "Understanding Kelvin White Balance in changing lighting conditions" article.
Lighting isn't the only element that tells a story in a photograph. Are you creating dark and moody imagery or bright, light imagery? The colors that you use in your propping and styling will enhance these choices. Perhaps you want a summer-y look. In that case, consider selecting bright light colors for your linens, garnishes and plates. A winter-y shoot could be enhanced by rich reds, deep greens, or snowy whites. The visual story is much more than just the food and it is important that you consciously make these decisions to convey the story that you want to tell. Ask yourself if your story is seasonal or evergreen.
Use the widest aperture that you can use (lowest f-stop). Your depth of field will be very shallow and the background or foreground of your image will not be in focus. This selective focus and shallow depth of field is very popular in food photography and allows the viewer to see a specific detail area in the image more clearly than others. For example, if you are drawing attention to a plated dish and letting the setting props fall into soft focus, then you are conveying a story while allowing for detailed focus to be sharply on the food. If you have a lens that allows you to use a 2.8 or a 3.5 f-stop, then you are in a shallow depth of field range.
Lenses are an important decision in food photography. Macro lenses (50-100mm for full-frame cameras; 50-60mm for APS-C sensor digital cameras) work well for most food photography. They allow you to get in close and show incredibly fine detail. Wide-angle lenses (14-35mm for full-frame cameras; 10-22mm for APS-C sensor cameras) are best used for showing a scene and imagery in the kitchen. Lenses that give a normal perspective, like the classic 50mm standard lens (for full-frame cameras; 35mm or so is the APS-C equivalent), can be especially useful in food photography.
Post-processing a photograph takes it a step beyond what the camera sees to a whole additional level. Color correction, sharpening, brightening or darkening, contrast, and saturation can all be adjusted in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, iPhoto and others. Adobe makes easy to use software for photo editing called Lightroom. For more advanced editing and retouching, Photoshop is your best tool.
Don't be afraid to add elements of motion to your image. For instance, the staff might not be the primary focus, but having a hand reaching in, serving, plating or a person moving through the background can help add an extra dimension to your image.
Consider if the food will go out to customers or is it being prepped just for you? If the food is going to a customer, you will have a very limited window of only seconds or minutes to take your shot. In this case, be sure that you scout the location in advance and assess the best possible lighting scenario.
The speed at which you need to work will vary depending on the final use of the particular food. Always look for/request a clean space to work, glasses of water or wine for props, place settings, and other elements like salt and pepper to help the context of your image. Other elements you can use in a restaurant for interesting imagery are tablecloths, floors, and bars. Sometimes you can even take the plated dish into the street or the alley to look for interesting light (ask permission first). Get creative and be inspired by the food and the environment around you.

Bipolar Disorder & Social Security Disability
If you suffer from bipolar disorder, you are aware of how debilitating this condition can be. Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depression and manic-depressive illness, is characterized by extreme mood swings that can last anywhere from weeks to months. These changes in behavior can not only impact your life, but the lives of those around you.
Many people are not correctly diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which is unsettling because when this condition is left untreated, the symptoms can get worse and lead to serious problems. The suicide rate is high among people with bipolar disorder.
There are two main types of bipolar disorder – bipolar I and bipolar II. Bipolar I refers to the situation where you have had at least one manic episode. Bipolar II refers to the situation where you have had at least one episode of depression and at least one hypomanic episode.
The symptoms of bipolar disorder range over a large spectrum. This condition involves episodes of mania (highs) and depression (lows). These episodes can be severe and can impact every aspect of your life. What is interesting about bipolar disorder is that a lot of time can pass by without experiencing one episode.
According to MayoClinic.com during the manic phase, you may experience euphoria, extreme optimism, rapid speech, poor judgment and aggressive behavior. During the depressive phase, you may feel sad, hopeless, anxious, guilty and extremely fatigued. The lows of bipolar disorder can lead to sleep problems and a lack of appetite.
Bipolar disorder can become so incapacitating that you are unable to work. If you find yourself facing a circumstance where working is not possible because of bipolar disorder, you may be able to obtain Social Security Disability benefits. You should contact an experienced New York Social Security Disability Insurance attorney at The Law Offices of Frank J. Dito, Jr., at 718-701-2776 or 800-310-5520.

At this point, I'm not entirely sure what my brain wants to deliver. Initially I was thinking about fear. But as my introduction pretty much sounded like Han Solo taking his Millennium Falcon out for a spin with no destination in mind, I'm beginning to stray from what I wanted to type out when I started.
It's been a rather tiring day, and as I lie down in bed at 3am, with Sheldon Cooper radiating from my tv screen, I just feel like typing. I've been writing ever since I could remember. My Dad has always been my biggest fan. And as of the past 5 years, I gained another big fan. My other half. I've always felt great knowing that they enjoy my writing. Although I myself think that more often than not I sound like a bumbling idiot. As the saying goes, "The artiste in me creates, while the critique in me destroys it." The number of unfinished writings in my computer will bear testament to that.
I've had this blog for about 3 years now, and for the most part, I've always had a small and steady stream of readers, mostly made up of my close friends. And even that was enough to make me a happy writer. But recent events have opened up my blog to a wider audience and the compliments I've received since leaves me amazingly flattered. It feels good to know that some people find my writings easy to comprehend and my spontaneity hits the mark right on the nose. Truly, I am humbled. All I am is just a girl who has always turned to writing to express herself. When I was about 12, I wrote my first short story. For the life of me I can't remember what it was called. Since then, I have always enjoyed writing. Whether fiction or simply expressing my frustration in the things around me, writing has always been my best friend.
However you do have to bear with me for I tend to stray a lot. I started out this post mumbling something about being philosophical, then I said I was gonna write about fear, and suddenly I'm regaling my life story. My apologies if you came here looking for another article hitting out at something else I find annoying. I promise the next one I'll get back to my sarcastic, spontaneous side. For this one, I just wish to ramble. Sometimes the mind needs to ramble. It allows the juices to flow and frees up some space for more intellectual ideas.
This is a nonsensical post. Nothing in here makes sense unless you can comprehend the internal workings of my mind, something even I have trouble understanding sometimes. Alright, for the sake of you, my readers, I shall make a point right now. I wanted to talk about fear. And how some people misuse it. For the most part, those in positions of power resort to fear in hopes of achieving longevity. Power has the ability to consume a person causing him or her to fear losing it. In fearing that, they then invoke fear in others to fear them so that they can remain in power for as long as they possibly can. Am I making sense? This post actually is related to my last few posts. I am not going to spell it out but if you can read between the lines, you'll be able to get my drift. If one is truly a great leader, then there is no need to rule with fear. The public can decide for themselves. If one has to resort to fear to exercise one's authority, then maybe one should take a long hard look at one's self and wonder if one has the makings of a great leader. A good leader rules with a good head on his or her shoulders. Not with emotions and fear. And a good leader does not feed on compliments. I have to admit that compliments make you feel great, I myself have been enjoying the amount of compliments I've been getting these past few weeks. Yet I still refuse to let it get to my head. The critique in me still insists that I suck at writing. This post should bear testimony to that. I've been rambling on for quite a few paragraphs in hopes of sounding philosophical but I think all I have been doing is vociferously going around in circles. Writing is not a plebeian task. Although to me I think it is, because I consider myself as a normal person subjected to the normalcies in life. But the truth is that, it is not. It is a task as grand as discovering penicillin. Or Radium. For lack of a better example at this hour. Curie gave her life to it. Picasso cut off his ear. Hemingway found comfort in alcohol. And the list goes on. Writing is a daunting task. Sometimes you achieve what you set out to express, sometimes you just run around in circles hoping to reach a point. Einstein describes insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. But more often than not a little bit of insanity is needed to make sense in a world that seems to be going crazier by the minute.
As I was saying earlier, fear is not the way to go. As a Muslim, the only One we should fear is Allah. There is absolutely no sense in placing fear in some other mortal being. No matter how powerful they are, truth remains, they're as mortal as you and I. One day, someone else will come along, replace them, and the cycle of life continues. Misplaced fear and adulation are the worst kinds of things to misplace. It takes you farther away from the great journey of life. While I'm on the subject, what baffles me even more than those who rule with fear is those who idolize them blindly. Paving their path with compliments after compliments, defending their ways as though they were defense attorneys. That is something I wouldn't do even if it was a paid job. It is fine to favor a celebrity or a public figure or a leader, but to fight tooth and nail with others to defend the things they do is just sheer and utter madness. And showering them with nonsensical compliments day in and day out. What is the point? If our public figures are apt in handling compliments, then fine, but the way I see it, just a couple of compliments seem enough to kick their feet permanently off the ground. And to think that they get a constant barrage of these compliments, I'm pretty sure their feet won't be coming back to earth anytime soon. Maturity is something that no amount of power or money can buy. You need maturity to combat being 'perasan'. Unfortunately for most of our public figures, maturity is a myth. Something they read about in books, but have yet to experience for themselves. So when you hand them butt loads of compliments, and they have no maturity to counter it, that's when you get them behaving like children when someone has the sense to point out their flaws.
All I can say is, after rambling on for quite a bit now, is instead of surgically attaching themselves to technology to feed on compliments, what they should do is detach themselves for a while, and pick up a book. Perhaps Rohinton Mistry's A Fine Balance. Or Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time. Or if those are too heavy, even Enid Blyton would do the trick. Heck I picked up a lot of common sense and intellect hidden between the pages of Amelia Jane, The Enchanted Tree and The Naughtiest Girl in School. Try it. Trust me it will do you more good than feeding on compliments thus filling up the space between your ears with more air.

Pictures from egypt
#1 Guest_blondesarah_*
Posted 03 January 2006 - 09:57 AM
Anyway as most of you know Andy and I went to Egypt (sharm el sheik) while we where there we visited two towns Narma Bay and old town. I was expecting to see tortoises boxed for sale, as i saw in tunisia, but we saw nothing thank god.
Anyway across the road from our hotel there were a few shops, Andy and I went into one of the shops and admired the tortoises figures. The shop keeper was trying to tell it us but we explained that we have real ones, he then said come with me, he took us next door and in a draw in the shop was two egptian tortoises. They looked so old, especially the male. Andy and I were horrified that they were just kept in a draw. We gave the man lots of advice, he told us the female eats loads were as the male doesnt, he told us that he fed them on fruit and cucumber, we told him not to do that,fed them lettuce (not iceburg) cactus, a little bit of carrot, i told him to think of a tortoise in the wild, what would they find to eat?We also told him to put them in a large box with sand and put them out in the sun, but to make sure that they had some shade.
Anyway the next day we went to the shop and he had them in a small box with stones and the bottom, he had also brought some cos lettuce, we had brought some food over from the hotel.
We were pleased that he had made he changes but you just know that thoses tortoises wont live for very long, Andy and I just wanted to take them home. The tortoises were brought from Cairo for £1.50 can you believe it, a Egyptian tortoise of that size in England would cost £1000.

You could do what a friend of mine did whilst in Tunisia, he came across some in the market cheap as chips
He bought some and I think he even stole some, then the next day after giving them a proper feed and a good soak he hired a jeep and took them back where they had come from in the wild, not only did he have the satisfaction of setting them free, he had a day out to a part of the country he might not have seen.

Hi, I'm Angie (aka the Actor's Wife). But truth is I'm so much more than an actor's wife, just as my partner, Chris, is so much more than an actor! After spending over a decade in New York City, Chris (an actor, writer, firefighter, and stay-at-home dad) and I returned to the Rocky Mountain West with our young son whom we call "The Turtle."
I'm an avid yogi who plays the piano and the ukulele. I love 'my boys' (who I talk about constantly), my work, paris, black licorice, cowboy boots, perfume, hot baths, morning walks, the new york subway, iced coffee, massages, the underside of a pillow, chai tea, books, sunflowers, the rocky mountains, horses, farmers' markets, teaching, frozen grapes, thrift stores, avocados, boats, the ocean, live music, bbq, fairy tales, love letters, and boys with guitars.
I'm an INFJ who despite a very busy schedule thinks it's imperative to have time to "recharge" alone.
An educator by trade, I've worked for years in college student and academic affairs. I'm passionate about educational access, literacy and personal development. I most often serve traditional college students but also get a kick out of working with home educators, innovators, designers, entrepreneurs, creative artists, and self-directed learners. Not only can I help individuals define their interests and goals, but I can teach them how to hack traditional educational models to create unique learning experiences.
Over the years I've had opportunities to present around the country on topics including: non-traditional work and parenting roles; peer advising and leadership; the actor and the MFA; and the stress of the undergraduate experience.
In 2015 Chris and I co-founded the "Safe Place to Play Project" and are looking to launch our first community initiative in 2015.
I'd love to hear from you and welcome your thoughts and feedback. I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Microsoft Vows to Appeal Ruling That It Violated Antitrust Laws
Last Week
A Blow to Microsoft: A U.S. District judge found that Microsoft violated antitrust laws by illegally protecting its Windows monopoly against competitors and attempting to monopolize the market for Web browsers. The ruling was a powerful victory for the government, though the company said it would appeal the judge's decision.
Microsoft shares plummeted 14% on the day of the announcement, leading the Nasdaq Composite Index down in its biggest one-day point drop ever....

If you ask your non-climbing friends whether they're sporty, quite often it'll be mainly men who put their hands up. From the women, you're more likely to hear "I'm no good at sport" to "I'm just not interested." This gender difference is marked.
Research carried out by Sport England revealed that two million fewer women than men are active. However, 75 percent of those women said they want to do more sport.

The Justice Department is charging four men in Ohio with allegedly conspiring to travel to Yemen to provide money to Anwar Al-Awlaki in support of jihad against the U.S.
Two of the men charged with providing material support to Al Qaeda were approved for admission to the U.S. from abroad.
Yahya Farooq Mohammad, Ibrahim Zubair Mohammad, Asif Ahmed Salim, and Sultane Room Salim were charged in an indictment unsealed Thursday in the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Ohio. Each were indicted on "one count of conspiracy to provide and conceal material support and resources to terrorists, one count of providing material support and resources to terrorists and one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice."
Farooq Mohammad, Ibrahim Mohammad were also charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud.
While brothers Asif Salim and Sultane Salim are U.S. citizens, Farooq Mohammad and Ibrahim Mohammad also brothers, are not. According to the Justice Department Farooq Mohammad and Ibrahim Mohammad are from India.
"Farooq Mohammad was an Indian citizen who was an engineering student at Ohio State University between 2002 and 2004. In or around March 2008, he married a U.S. citizen. His brother, Ibrahim Mohammad, was also an Indian citizen who studied engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 2001 through 2005. In or around 2006, he moved to Toledo, Ohio, and married a U.S. citizen. He became a lawful permanent resident of the United States in or around 2007," a Justice Department press release reads.
The indictment alleges that from January 2005 through January 2012, the four defendants conspired to provide financial and other support for Al Qaeda terrorist Anwar Al-Awlaki in support of jihad against the U.S. Al-Awlaki was killed by a drone strike on September 2011.
Additionally the indictment charges that Farooq Mohammad travelled to Yemen with two people to meet with Awlaki. When they were unable to meet with Awlaki, they met and delivered $22,000 to one of Awlaki's associates.
The indictment further alleges that on July 22, 2009, Farooq Mohammad travelled with two other people to Yemen to meet Awlaki. They were unable to meet with Awlaki, so instead travelled to Sana'a, Yemen, to meet with one of his associates. Farooq Mohammad and his two fellow travelers gave the associate approximately $22,000 to be given to Awlaki.
The revelation that two individuals, admitted as immigrants to the U.S., were later indicted for terrorist activities comes as lawmakers raise concerns about the national security implications of admitting hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern refugees from terrorist hotspots in the U.S.

In the spirit of good chapter structure, we've saved the best for last. In addition to numerous menus and toolbars, Outlook provides two further methods of navigation: the Outlook Bar and the Folder Tree. These graphical folder views are the quintessential means of quickly moving around Outlook and organizing your files.
The Outlook Bar is a container for shortcuts. On it you can place shortcuts for Outlook folders, individual Outlook items, or shortcuts to programs and files external to Outlook (that is, residing on your local or network filesystem). Icons on the Outlook Bar can be displayed Large or Small as shown in Figure 4-25. To toggle this option, right-click the Outlook Bar and select the appropriate command from the context menu displayed. Large icons present a better target for file management, a topic discussed shortly, while small icons allow you to display more icons in a group. If there are more icons in a group than the pane can display, scroll arrows appear at the top or bottom of the Outlook Bar to indicate this fact (note the left Outlook bar shown in Figure 4-25).
The Outlook Bar can be hidden from view with the context menu command Hide Outlook Bar. Once hidden, you need to use the View → Outlook Bar menu command to restore it.
In its default configuration, the Outlook Bar is divided into three Groups: Outlook Shortcuts, My Shortcuts, and Other Shortcuts. To move to a different group, simply click the title. You can add groups to this configuration, rename an existing group with a more meaningful title, or remove a group you no longer use.
To add a new group, right-click anywhere on the Outlook Bar and choose the Add New Group command from the context menu (Figure 4-26). New groups are always added at the bottom of the Outlook Bar. Type a name for the group in the highlighted space, followed by Enter. To change the display order of the groups on the Outlook Bar, see Reordering the Outlook Bar slater in this chapter.
To delete an existing group, right-click on the group title button or ensure the group you want to remove is displayed and right-click anywhere within the group. This is important. If you inadvertently delete the wrong group, there is no way to undo this action. Select Remove Group from the context menu. A dialog will appear to confirm this action. Note that this dialog does not display the title of the group you are deleting.
To rename an existing group, right-click on the group title and select Rename from the context menu. Type a new name in the highlighted space provided.
Right-clicking any item (shortcut) on the Outlook Bar invokes the context menu shown in Figure 4-27.
Reordering the Outlook Bar
To change the order in which the default groups (Outlook Shortcuts, My Shortcuts, Other Shortcuts) are displayed on the Outlook Bar, follow these steps:
You can only change the order of the three default groups Outlook provides, not of additional groups you have added.
Is essentially a useless command for this context menu. It is no different than clicking on the Outlook Bar icon to navigate to that folder or shortcut.
Open in New Window
Opens the shortcut selected in a new window, without the Outlook Bar or Folder Tree displayed. It is often useful to have more than one Outlook window open while you work. For example, you could have your Inbox running in one window with the Outlook Bar and/or Folder List displayed for fast file management chores, and in a separate window (typically minimized) your Calendar displayed in the view of your choice, devoid of any navigation tools. An example of this functionality is shown in Figure 4-28.
Opens an Advanced Find dialog preconfigured to search the selected folder. This is a particularly useful shortcut to remember, especially if you use multiple Personal Folders (see Chapter 13 for a discussion of the merits of multiple PSTs and Chapter 3 for details on the Find/Advanced Find command).
Opens the properties dialog for the shortcut selected. The properties dialog gives you access to details such as folder size, archive settings, and in the case of a top-level folder, the Advanced → Compress Folder command. Outlook folder properties are discussed fully in the "Data Structures" section in Chapter 3. If the shortcut points to a filesystem folder or program (for example, Favorites, My Computer, or a shortcut to a program), the properties dialog shown will be the same as the one available from Windows Explorer.
Any time you create a new folder in Outlook the program offers to place a shortcut to that new folder on the Outlook Bar (providing you have not turned this feature off). The dialog displayed is shown in Figure 4-29.
Selecting Yes places a shortcut to this newly created folder in the group My Shortcuts. Selecting "Don't prompt me about this again" turns off both the prompt and the automatic placement of shortcuts on the Outlook Bar.
Automation aside, you can add four different types to the Outlook Bar: Outlook Folders, Outlook items, Desktop or program shortcuts, and web pages. Like everything else in Outlook, there are a variety of ways to do this depending on the shortcut type, and your mood of the moment:
To add an Outlook Folder using the Folder List (View → Folder List)
Select the folder you want to add and drag it to a group on the Outlook Bar. A line indicates where the folder will be placed. To add the folder to a different group than the one currently open, hold your cursor (with the mouse button still depressed) over the title of an alternative group and it will open. Alternately, select a folder from the Folder List pane, and choose "Add to Outlook Bar" from the context menu. This method skips all dialogs and simply adds the selected folder to the open Outlook Bar group.
To add an Outlook Folder from the Outlook Bar itself
Right-click in a group and choose "Outlook Bar Shortcut" from the context menu displayed (or from the File menu, New → Outlook Bar Shortcut). This will open the dialog shown in Figure 4-30 (left).
From the tree shown, select a folder. It will be placed in the group that is currently open. If the shortcut added ends up in a different group than you intended, simply drag the new shortcut to another group.
To add a program or file from the Outlook Bar
Go to the Add to Outlook Bar dialog as described previously. Under the "Look in" option, choose Look in File System. The dialog now displays the contents of your filesystem as shown in Figure 4-30 (right). Expand the list to display the desired file or folder and select OK.
It is also possible to add system files or folders to the Outlook Bar using Windows Explorer. The easiest way to do this—considering you will likely have multiple windows open, perhaps covering each other—is to begin by minimizing Outlook to the Task Bar. Open Windows Explorer, locate the file you want to add as a shortcut, and drag it to the minimized Outlook icon. Outlook will open after a short pause. Continue holding down the mouse button and drag the shortcut to the Outlook Bar. If the group you want to add the shortcut to is not currently open, hold your mouse cursor over the group title and that group will open.
To add an individual Outlook item to the Outlook Bar
Outlook does not support adding an item of its own kind (for example, a mail message or contact record) to the Outlook Bar directly. There is a way around this, however. Open the folder containing the item you want to add to the Outlook Bar. Drag that item to your desktop and drop it there. Next, drag the item shortcut created on the desktop onto the Outlook Bar. Now go back and delete the shortcut that remains on your desktop. Magic, as they say.
Simply drag the shortcut from your Desktop to the appropriate Outlook Group. If necessary, minimize Outlook and drag the shortcut to its Taskbar icon as previously described.
Open Internet Explorer (IE) and navigate to the page you want to add. Put your cursor on top of the icon at the far left of the address bar, hold down your left mouse button, and drag the shortcut (indicated by an arrow imposed over the cursor) to the Outlook Bar group you desire.
If you have the web page you want to add already bookmarked in IE, click on the Favorites icon in the Other Shortcuts group and drag a shortcut from the view window to the Outlook Bar.
Here are a few creative suggestions for organizing and using shortcuts you have added to your Outlook Bar:
Create a group for your favorite sites. Ensure you read the section in Chapter 3 first so you fully understand how Internet Explorer integrates with Outlook. Internet Explorer does lose some functionality when launched from within Outlook.
Keep your most frequently accessed shortcuts near the top of the Outlook Bar. That way, if you have more icons in a group than can be displayed at one time, you won't have to continually scroll through the group to find the icon you want.
If you find yourself accessing a Control Panel applet frequently (for example, Internet Options), add it as a shortcut to your Outlook Bar. In order to do this, you will have to follow the procedure outlined previously for adding an individual Outlook item—that is, drag the Control Panel applet to your desktop first, then drag it to the Outlook Bar.
If you find yourself accessing the same document day in and day out (like a book chapter, for example), create an icon for it on your Outlook Bar.
While the Outlook Bar is a good container to organize frequently accessed files, folders, and web sites, it is more much more than a shortcut bar; it is your gateway to "drag and drop" between Outlook's various components. For example, you receive email from your associate Joe Snipps asking you to attend a meeting next Tuesday and you want to add it to your calendar. Go to your Inbox (or wherever the message is located), select it, and drop it on the Calendar icon. This action will create a new calendar entry, with the Subject field prefilled and the body of the email entered into the free-form notes field. Fill in the start time and date, add a note or two, link the contact field of the calendar entry to the person sending the email, and you're done.
To sum up the preceding example:
Dragging an email message to any of Outlook's other components (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes, and Journal) creates a new record with the message details transposed to the new item entry.
Dragging a Calendar entry to the Inbox icon creates a new message with the appointment subject as the subject of the message, and the appointment details transferred to the Notes field.
Dragging a Calendar entry to the Contacts icon creates a new entry there based on the owner (creator) of the appointment item.
Dragging a Calendar entry to Tasks, Notes, or Journal creates a new record according to the component it is dropped on.
Dragging a Task, Note, or Journal entry to another component works in a similar manner. The point here is that you can save yourself a tremendous amount of time and keyboard entry by dragging and dropping Outlook items onto Outlook Bar icons.
The Folder List displays your Outlook folders in a familiar tree structure, and is arguably one of the most useful combination navigation and file management tools available in Outlook. The fastest way to access the Folder List is to click the folder title displayed in the upper-left of your active window, as shown in Figure 4-31.
Note the small pushpin icon in the upper-right corner of the Folder List pane. Much of the functionality of the Folder List is dependent on whether this pushpin is "inactive" (as shown in Figure 4-31), or "activated" (as shown in Figure 4-32).
If you open the Folder List by simply clicking on the title and you do not press the pushpin, this open pane becomes a quick navigational tool. Clicking any displayed folder displays it as the active view, and the Folder List conveniently closes again. You can navigate to subfolders in the same manner by first clicking the tree expansion square (+) and, after the tree expands, selecting a folder to display. Outlook will obediently wait for you to select a folder before making it active and closing the Folder List pane.
On the other hand, if you need to do extensive file management chores, or you simply prefer to use the Folder List as your primary navigational tool rather than the Outlook Bar, "lock" it open. This can be accomplished in one of two ways:
By opening the Folder List with the View → Folder List command
By opening the Folder List using the "title shortcut" (demonstrated in Figure 4-31), and then pressing the pushpin
Here are some examples of file management shortcuts that can be used with the Folder List open:
To move an Outlook item from one folder to another, select it and drag it to the destination folder displayed in the open Folder List. To copy a file from one folder to another, hold down the Ctrl key during your drag and drop action. See Figure 4-33.
To move a folder from one location to another, select the folder and drag it to a new a position; to copy it, use the Ctrl key as described in the previous paragraph.
To rename a folder, click once, pause, and click a second time. Type the new name in place of the old.
To navigate around the Folder List using the keyboard:
Use the Home/End keys to position your selection at the top or bottom of the displayed tree. The up and down arrow keys navigate up and down the tree. To expand a branch, position your selection on the folder containing subfolders and press the right arrow key; the left arrow key collapses the branch again.
To quickly move to a specific folder name, use your keyboard's letter keys. For example, to move to the first folder beginning with the letter "T", press the T key; if you have more than one folder that begins with this letter, Outlook will walk down through the Folder List and when it reaches the bottom (or top) of the tree, reverse direction.
Select a folder and press F3 to open the Advanced Find dialog. For tips and tricks on harnessing the power of Outlook's Advanced Find, see Chapter 3.
To create a new folder, the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+E.
And finally, for all you "Mouseketeers" out there, selecting a folder and clicking the right mouse button displays the context menu shown in Figure 4-34.
Folder Navigation Without a Mouse

As a community service agency, we run a variety of programs, funded from a number of sources, to assist the people of the ACT who struggle with issues of low income, housing stress, relationship problems, and social disadvantage.

An Addison man spent hours on the witness stand today telling a jury he could not remember anything from the night he allegedly murdered his mother and a prostitute.
Gary Schuning conceded at points that he could have murdered the two women early on Feb. 26, 2006, after a night of partying, but said he had been led into making incriminating statements by police.
"I know myself, and I never would have attempted to do anything like that to my mother," Schuning testified. "I don't know what happened, so I thought (the police) were right."

nice post steven. I'm integrating text and vector into video coming soon to my site. It's all really hard.

Warning!: Tech-talk following...
I don't know the exact syntax of Flash, but I understand the structural basics. I would suggest attaching an action script function to the video object itself that polls the frame property of the video. If you store your frame cue points as frame counts in an array (a sorted array used as a makeshift stack), then this function can check to see if the video has passed the top-most cue-point of the array, if it has, then trigger the visible property of the appropriate text movie clip and increment the array index.
The function videoFrameLoop() would be called each time the playback head enters a new frame on the main timeline.
myCues = array([100, 350, 734, 1020])
myTextMC = array(["text1", "text2", "text3", "text4"])
movieClip = array([movieClipObj1, movieClipObj2, movieClipObj3, movieClipObj4])
currentCue = 1
function videoFrameLoop {
// make sure that we are not accessing a cue later than one stored
if currentCue <= myTextMC.count {
// if the movie has passed the last cue
if videoMovieClip.frame > = myCues[currentCue] {
// all ok, so show the text (could be a gotoandplay if animation)
movieClip[myTextMC[currentCue]].visible = true
// move on to the next cue
currentCue = currentCue + 1
This obviously is not ActionScript syntax, but is pseudo-code that will do what I was describing.
This may not be anything like what you are doing, but it seemed like a good idea to post it in spite of the three margaritas floating in my head.

It would be easier to set the array values to keys that match your keyframes. EG:
cueArray[100] = "text1";
And, even easier than that, you can just import the movie and go through the clip inserting animations in the timeline. That's what I'll be doing.

I'm currently one of the college video geeks being exploited by peoples everywhere because I'm broke - and as a member of this crowd I can assure you we all love it.
Hire college students to do your promo videos for you and you will have an decent chance of getting some excellent results from someone just starting up. Don't feel bad about jipping them if they don't even have a demo reel to show, they need to get one together and a symbiotic relationship is a great jumping off point. They get 'professional experience' and you get cheap labor.
For those of you who aren't feeling the tech-talk, visit http://www.flashkit.com They have sample movies you can download and analyze to figure out your own way- and also tutorials on anything you could possibly want to do in flash.
That said; quicktime's newest free version has excellent support of the .mp4 file format. This allows better quality compression than .mov files at a fraction of the size. Because my web content is focused on quality of video for projects I direct photography on I've spent a lot of time with Sorenson Squeeze; which is one of the best compressors out there. If you feel quality is the most important thing to your, lets say nighttime glowball performance, this may be worth looking into.
As a side note; performers; sound design is HUGE, and it seems to be consistantly the worst component of the promos I've seen. One of the most impressive parts of a fire poi act is hearing the flame whip through the air. Take the time to record from a wireless lapel; 30 minutes of so and get the whole act. Point a shotgun mic straight at yourself during the act to get the hit of the clubs on your hands. This is completely honest as it's not even truly foley work; it's compiling data of the same action. I've got a good deal of experience with sounds design as well, and I can say with 100% certainty that some extra care with audio can do wonders more than a mills mess in time with a pop-song you don't have the rights to use.

Informal Fallacies
Fallacies of Distraction (or Red Herrings; fallacies of distraction occur when irrelevant points are brought into an argument which distract from the main point): Ad hominem attack - (Latin for "to the man") this fallacy occurs when someone attacks an opponent's character, or motives for believing something, instead of disproving the argument itself. Bulverism - condemning an argument simply because of its source (where it began, how it began, or who began it). Tu quoque - (Latin for "You, too") dismissing someone's viewpoint on an issue because he himself is inconsistent in that very thing. Straw Man - changing or exaggerating an opponent's position or argument to make it easier to refute. Ipse dixit - (Latin for "He said it himself") an appeal to someone who has no special knowledge in the area being discussed. (For example, citing a celebrity's position on a political issue simply because the celebrity is popular and thus will be trusted, even though s/he has no special knowledge of the subject being discussed.) Ad populum - (Latin for "to the people") claiming a viewpoint is correct simply because many other people agree with it. This is sometimes called "Appeal to the People" or "Bandwagon". An example is when a child appeals to his/her parents by saying, "All of my friends get to do it!" Ad baculum - (Latin for "to the stick") this is a faulty appeal to fear. When someone uses a veiled threat (makes you fear the consequences of not doing what he wants). This is a common propaganda technique. Ad misericordiam - a faulty appeal to pity. When someone tries to make us do something only because we pity him or something associated with him. This is also a common propaganda technique. Ad ignorantiam - (Latin, referring to an appeal to ignorance) claiming something is true or false because there is no evidence to the contrary. This fallacy is also called "Proof by Lack of Evidence." Chronological Snobbery - when something is attacked or defended simply because of its age. It is similar to the "Appeal to Tradition" or "Appeal to Hi Tech" forms of propaganda. Examples of this would be claiming that some new computer is the best simply because it's the newest technology (without substantiating the claim with facts about that new technology) or claiming that something is best because it has been around for a long time. An appeal to tradition would be a propaganda technique designed to evoke a nostalgic connection with something. Exigency - exigency is being used when nothing more than a time limit is given as a reason for action. Snob Appeal - when someone tries to persuade us to think their product would make us better than, or stand out from, everyone else. (Almost the opposite of ad populum, this fallacy appeals to our pride!) Repetition - this is a propaganda or advertising technique where a message is repeated very loudly and/or often in the hope that it will soon be believed. Catchy slogans and jingles fall into this category. Transfer - a propaganda technique in which someone tries to make us transfer our good or bad feelings about one thing to another unrelated thing.
Fallacies of Ambiguity (fallacies of ambiguity occur when the meaning of an argument is vague or unclear):
Equivocation - occurs when someone uses words with more than one meaning, and changes the meaning of the word within an argument. Accent - occurs when the meaning of a statement is altered, simply by the way individual words are stressed in a statement. Amphiboly (or Amphibology) - occurs when a statement is written in a vague way, such as is easily misunderstood. Composition (or Part-to-Whole) - occurs when an assumption is made about the whole of a class, based only on its individual parts. Division (or Whole-to-Part) - the opposite of the fallacy of composition; this fallacy occurs when an assumption is made about each part of a class, based on what is true of the whole of its class. Contextomy - the fallacy of selectively using a quote out of context to alter its meaning. This is often done as the basis of a Straw Man argument.Ad pendulum - (to the bell) presenting only one side of a story or an issue.
Fallacies of Form (a fallacy of form occurs when an argument has a structural problem.):
Petitio principii - (begging the question) circular reasoning or restating the argument. Post hoc ergo propter hoc - (after this, therefore because of this) false cause. Either/or - oversimplifying the choices. Complex question - loaded question, making an incriminating answer inevitable. Apriorism - hasty generalization.Accident -this fallacy occurs when some accidental, irrelevant factor becomes the essential point of an argument. This is often the result of applying a general "rule of thumb" to a particular case in which the rule is inapplicable. Weak analogy - the difference between things being compared are major and similarities are minor

S. Korean president vows cooperation with U.N. to denuclearize N. Korea
2017/05/19 18:27
SEOUL, May 19 (Yonhap) -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Friday promised to work with the United Nations to completely denuclearize communist North Korea, the presidential office said.
Moon's remarks came in a telephone conversation with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who called the new South Korean leader to congratulate him on his recent election.
"President Moon thanked U.N. Secretary-Genera Guterres for denouncing North Korea's May 14 missile launch and urging the North to fulfill its international duties," presidential office spokesman Park Soo-hyun told a press briefing.
"I, too, plan to work with the international community to resolutely and fundamentally denuclearize North Korea through all available means, including sanctions and dialogue," the president was quoted as telling the U.N. chief.
Guterres, emphasizing his experience from a 1989 trip to the reclusive North, stressed the need to maintain peace at any cost.
"An armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula must be prevented no matter how great a cost must be paid," he said, according to the presidential spokesman.

SOURCE: Thompson & Knight LLP
July 26, 2016 11:20 ET
DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - July 26, 2016) - Thompson & Knight LLP's legal internship pipeline program, designed to encourage minority high school students to pursue careers in the legal field, recently began its fourth year with four participants. During the seven-week internship program, Dallas ISD students, guided by an attorney mentor, shadow various lawyers and staff members at the Firm to learn about different legal industry roles.
"Our internship program supports our long-standing commitment to increase the pipeline of women and ethnically diverse individuals in the legal profession; broaden our efforts in recruiting, mentoring, and retaining a diverse workforce; and make our communities better places to live and work for all persons," said Nichole Dotson-Olajuwon, Thompson & Knight's Chief Diversity Officer.
This year's interns include Savion Bickham, Melvin Craddock, Matthew McCurdy, and Chris Torres, who interned at the Firm last year. Bickham will be a senior at James Madison High School this fall and plans to become an attorney. Craddock, a graduate of James Madison High School, will attend the University of Texas at Arlington and major in Physics. McCurdy will be a senior at Judge Barefoot Sanders Law Magnet this fall. Upon high school graduation, he hopes to attend Georgetown University and become an attorney. Torres, a graduate of Judge Barefoot Sanders Law Magnet, will attend the University of Texas at Dallas and major in Engineering.
"This is a great partnership and an incredible opportunity for students," said Michael Hinojosa, superintendent of Dallas ISD. "Through this internship, students gain real world experience that could help them discover an interest in a potential career. This kind of partnership changes lives by exposing students to possibilities they may have never considered for themselves. We are grateful to Thompson & Knight for their efforts to prepare students for college and the workforce."
The program runs from June 13 until July 29. For more information on Thompson & Knight, visit www.tklaw.com.
