I made this the other day with the work of a photographer I'm a fan of called
Laurent Nivalle
- I sent it to him and he loved it! Any way, that line: "Go to sleep and try again tomorrow" is pretty darn poignant for me - especially as I figure out my own next steps. Blah! So yeah, don't know how I thought of it, guess it's something I've been easily reminding myself at the end of the day. If today didn't work, get trying again, this life has so much to show us. EASY. Go!

Such is the way of the world, you can never know
Just where to put all your faith & how will it grow
Gonna rise up, burning back holes in dark memories
Gonna rise up, turn mistakes into Gold
Such is the passage of time, too fast to fold
And suddenly swallowed by signs, low & behold
Gonna rise up, find my direction magnetically
Throw down my ace in the hole

Nelson Mandela, Our Own Two Hands
Official Artwork of Nelson R. Mandela.
"[This artwork] was made by accident when Mandela placed his hand in wet ink. The idea of hand prints however intrigued him and he began to make several images. Only later did an assistant point out the iconic image inside the right hand print of the painting now in front of us. In the center of Mandela's right palm shows a clear silhouette of the African continent." from the

I like this Eike!
"That's my profession too - to have a good life! Jah hahahaha!"
My friend, Mr.
JP Brouard
) recommended this
of Eike Koenig from
, and I just rolled with intrigue into this guys insight. One because it's incredibly inspiring & he really just
get's it
, and two, since being jaded myself by the culture of overindulgence of pride with the designers out there, this guy echoes my own hope for goodness-in-design + my own dream to pioneer & collaborate with the people in the creative realm who also really do
get it
- which my own radar will always anticipate. I want my creativity to be used to create change in our world, and it's starts with myself..
I said to JP, "Bro, I liiiike this Eike guy! I'm even laughing with him! Man, he's so positive and open - i like that. Every point he made got me. He's got it right.. he's loving building other people "how can i help this person to become someone who's standing in the world like this (confidently)" + he fully respects the trade "Graphic design is very powerful and you have to take care that you use it in the right way." We can use it for such great things eh. Sheeeesh, thank you for this gold mnr! This is how i wanna work with people."

Africa on the Map
I love this
Interactive Map of Africa
(from the
Katine: It Starts With A Village
Project in Uganda) particularly because of it's gorgeous references of Flickr photography for each country on the continent. Enjoy.
The Katine Project
is a beautiful thing that
Farm Africa
are working on, together with the
, in the village of
,Uganda. They're investing themselves into developing Katine in it's education, health, water, governance and livelihoods, which is great because it will eventually "
offer a unique insight into the world of international development
And yummers! I love that you can take a
Virtual Village Tour
of Katine and the region, which is just wonderful.. AND '
Katine on Film
' has a whole heap of fantastic footage of it's development, even:

Jon Foreman: Goodness precedes Greatness
I write songs for a living, which is to say that writing songs helps me to live. The song becomes a place where melody and tempo can cover some truly volatile topics. God, women, politics, sex, hatred, disillusionment- a song or a story can be a deeper vessel and more forgiving than most conversations. Poetry can get under the skin without your permission..

The William Kamkwamba Story:
"We have enough wind in Malawi,
and I was thinking.."
Before you read further, watch this:
The William Kamkwamba Story
Also see his talk at the TED Conference:
William Kamkwamba: How I Harnessed The Wind
A few books, a handful of hope and people like William is the change that our Africa is so thirsty for.
At 14 years old he went to a library, picked up a book and in two months, changed his family's lives. He built a windmill. From scraps.
Then he changed his village.
Then came a news article, an invitation to the new
African Leadership Academy

Release me
I went out side tonight, and saw the most beautiful thing. Between the stars were these gorgeous glowing moons just drifting gently through the sky. At a closer look I realised that they were Sky Lanterns or 'Paper Moons'. People here are releasing them into the sky because of the '
Festa Junina
' (June Festival) which is based on the festivities that the Portuguese introduced in the Colonial period.
I will have no way of understanding what the Brazilians feel for this festival and what significance it holds for them, but one of my first thoughts was, maybe it's a tribute to those who have gone away, those who have passed. This was beautiful to me.

The Rescue
Invisible Children
are getting there. I urge you,
watch this interview
on Larry King Live.
I have rarely seen something so informative & so full of potential as is the movement called
Invisible Children
. I've been a part of this movement for five years, and we are increasingly seeing hope.
It's moving.
"Last week, senators introduced the LRA Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009 to help end LRA violence in northern Uganda and neighboring countries. The bipartisan act would require the Obama Administration to develop a strategy within 120 days to "apprehend or otherwise remove Joseph Kony from the battlefield." The bill also authorizes funding for humanitarian assistance in LRA-affected areas, as well as additional funds for recovery efforts in northern Uganda. " - Invisible Children
Towards the end of this month [ June 22-23 ] you can (if you're in D.C) go to the lobbying event and let your voice be heard, or for us over the seas and far away, you can go online with the live feed that will be telling you what's going on> you can advocate from your couch - we can actually participate in this. So make sure you watch
The Rescue
, then see
How It Ends
by participating via the Live Feed online over June 22nd & 23rd. I'll be doing just that.

Last week I photographed a small wedding, the ceremony being at the registry office in Chippenham and then the reception at The White Horse Inn in Compton Bassett. It was a lovely family and close friend's celebration; the weather was perfect and the May countryside was shown to its best. Here are a few pictures from the day:
The geese were a great attraction for the children, although fingers had to be kept away from those beaks! The weather was perfect for the guests to fully enjoy being outside in the garden for drinks and canape before the Wedding Breakfast.
I always insist on taking the bride and groom away for a few minutes photography, usually whilst guests are getting seated for the wedding breakfast. Many couples like the idea of candid, documentary pictures, but there is the danger that there will be very few pictures of the happy couple shown together if no posing is planned.

national stationery show booth 2
akiko ruiz
Here's the final look of our booth at the National Stationery Show! I was extremely happy the booth turned out just as I imagined. I mentioned it on the previous post too, but I believe the most important thing to consider when you design your booth is to be cohesive to your brand. If you have colorful, fun line, your booth should have the vibe too. I personally like simple walls so that the products stands out more, but I saw some very fun booths with lots of decorations. It really depends on what you want and what impression you want to make to people.
Many people say the lighting is very important, and they are so right! It looked very dark without having extra lights on the booth. It costs a lot to exhibit the show already, but I feel like investing to the lighting is almost mandatory. I invested in a Percun light, which is very bright (1000w) and I'm glad I did! I wrote the source of where I got the materials on the previous post. Hope this post will help you in some way.

One of the most exciting places to go when traveling to Europe for work-related purposes is the island nation of Iceland. Despite its minuscule size, this robust Nordic country boasts an incredible amount of natural wonders that it feels like you've entered an alien world from another universe. But there's more to Iceland than just stunning views of Instagram-ready natural landscapes since you'll also find cool and fascinating cultural experiences on the island's capital city and neighboring towns. When you're ready to fly off to this ethereal travel destination for an extended business trip, here are some great suggestions to help you craft a compelling itinerary upon your arrival.
Take A Spa Trip
If you're feeling tired from your flight to Iceland, then you might as well remedy that situation by making a pilgrimage to the world-famous Blue Lagoon(pictured above), which is a fifty-minute drive away from the capital city of Reykjavik. This place is a geothermal spa where the titular waters are rich in minerals like silica and sulfur. Bathing in the warm lagoon will surely help relax your tired muscles after several hours of sitting inside an airplane. Furthermore, the mineral-rich waters are purported to help people suffering from skin diseases, which makes this place great for those who need to give their skin a little boost.

I need to edit a small file of binary data. Is there such thing as an accessible hex editor? It doesn't need to be big or fancy or have a lot of features, just something basic will do.
Try HXDEdit or whatever that's called.
Thanks! That worked great! Once I figured out how the program works with a screen reader it took less than a minute to do the edits I wanted.
how does it work with a screen reader. If there's an accessible hex editor then I need this!
Edit: using NVDA only here.
It worked well for me. The one thing I had to get used to, though as I think about it, it makes sense, is that each byte seems to appear twice, but it's simply because the screen reader reads the whole byte rather than the individual numbers.
So for 0x15 the first time you hear 15 you are on the one, the second time you hear it you are on the five.
I'd recommend making a small text file to experiment with to help you get used to how the screen reader presents the hex editor to you before you start working on a real file.
Oh, and by the way, I use JAWS.
I get that when I hit ctrl right and ctrl left, which navigates by nibble. If I use the arrows I hear one digit. I guess this is the first digit of the next byte?
Apparently after you get past your hex data you get the bytes in the specified charset, so I set my bytes per row to 4 so I could read it. I just wish the offsets didn't come with all the fuckin 0s. Up and down arrow navigates by row, and the first thing NVDA reports is the offset, then your bytes. So I set my offset base to decimal so I could tell the difference.
Yeah, I used control so I was navigating by nibble. At the time I was looking to do a quick and dirty edit so I didn't spend a lot of time tinkering with the settings or playing with a junk file to figure everything out about it.

President: Ocean Reeve
Treasurer: Marisa Parker
Secretary: Beverley Streater
Membership secretary: Jackie Moore
Social media manager: Sam Colbran
Newsletter editor: Kerri Yarsley
General committee members: Gavin Fisher
Ocean is committed to facilitating the creative process in all who are willing to express themselves through the written word. With the belief that we are all born with a desire to be creative, Ocean operates a defined, dedicated and determined process to bring a book to life and if desired, build a profitable future from this expression of creativity.
Ocean's 20 year career in the creative arts has been one he has great respect and gratitude for. Following a successful 6 years in Film & Television, Ocean spent a year in nightclub promotion before beginning his publishing road. Beginning as a Digital Production Manager for an educational publisher, Ocean was soon promoted into a sales role which quickly developed into Sales Manager for both the educational and traditional arm of Zenith Publishing Group.
As the internet took its grip over the creative arts industries, Ocean was integral in the development and management of New Zealand's premier self-publishing house, PublishMe, and following a six month stint as a Radio Host, successfully graduating with a Diploma in Creative Writing, becoming a qualified Workflow Trainer and being nominated and winning two National Awards for Service to Authors, Ocean departed New Zealand to expand his creative reach into Australia.
Six years into his new life in Australia and Ocean has now introduced an established and fruitful marketing platform where authors not only achieve their vision of bringing a book to life, but also promote and market their published works with amazing results. He has played a major role in the birth of InHouse Publishing in Queensland and believes that in this current landscape of creative expression, it is the vision and legacy of the author that has to be the paramount focus.
Marisa is the debut author of the award winning book, GOODBYE To Italia – the story of her parents during WW2 in Italy and Africa.
Marisa was born in Zimbabwe, Africa – although it was called Rhodesia back in the day! Along with her husband and two children, they left Africa in 2000 and went to live in New Zealand for six years before moving to Queensland, Australia which is now our home.
Since moving to Australia in 2006, Marisa has undertaken study as a mature-age student whilst working full-time at the University of Southern Queensland. She completed her first book in 2016 and plans to publish a second book in 2017. It's been a tough journey but worth all the challenges.
As a career public servant, Beverley was a service coordinator, manager and senior advisor in the field of human services, particularly disability services.
She developed a strong appreciation for effective communication within and across organisations – via the web, internally, through social media and face to face. In her corporate role, she designed technical communications (media releases, briefs, speeches) for a range of stakeholders. Beverley was project-lead through a number of organisational changes, where communication was the key to reassuring and retaining affected personnel. She continues to share this expertise by offering assistance to organisations in the area of strategic planning and change management, where effective communication is vital. In recent times, Beverley has turned her attention to looking at the needs of older women, who are approaching the transition to retirement, through her dedicated blog, Classic Women. She writes about relationships, solutions for maintaining fitness and health, and provides inspiring stories about remarkable women who daily balance their roles as mother, daughter, grandmother, partner, friend, volunteer.
As a writer, Beverley currently contributes via her blog, social media, book reviews, and has been published in the online magazine, Broad.
As a freelance editor, she offers encouragement, support, guidance and editing to local writers.
Beverley volunteers as a local Justice of the Peace, and as Secretary of the GCWA. In her free time, she loves exercising at the Palm Beach Aquatic Centre, reads voraciously, and releases her creative muse through the Palm Beach Stitchers' Group.
Jackie has enjoyed several varied chapters in her life.
She began her professional career as a skin care therapist in the late 70's, working with a vibrant team at a renowned health spa in South Africa.
She then changed direction in order to pursue her passion for handwriting analysis and forensic handwriting examination, lecturing and practicing in this field for the better part of a decade.
In 2013 she made the decision to leave South Africa in order to relocate to the Gold Coast, Australia.
Today she focuses her energies on her love of words, developing a somewhat dormant talent for creative writing.
To date, she had completed a children's chapter book, which she hopes to have published soon, as well as several short stories, one of which won the 'Mona Brand Short Story Commended Award 2015.' She is currently busy on her second book.
With thirty-one years of creating, writing, and storytelling as a hobby, Samuel thought it was time to fulfil a dream of long-standing inspiration. In 2015, he quit his job as a chef of seventeen years, due to several factors—one being as full-time carer for his mother, and another factor being lack of creative opportunities in his life.
Over the last two years, he has accumulated many relationships in the writing world that have led him to become a mentor, public speaker, teacher, and promoter of fellow authors. Samuel also volunteers his time for various writing groups situated on the Gold Coast. Such groups include Gold Coast Novel Writers, WritersActivation, and he has just been re-elected as Social Media Manager for the Gold Coast Writers' Association.
Along with publishing a series of short reads—FableLands—Samuel continues the development of his first major novel Lake Merrin.
Kerri Yarsley was born in Melbourne, Australia in the late '50's. She studied Biochemistry, Microbiology, Education, and Computers at university. After marriage, Kerri worked as a Systems Programmer and attained Fitness Leader's qualifications and trained in marital arts.
Kerri and Frank had four children in six years, so Kerri changed into documenting which was more easily done from a home base. Over two decades later Kerri is still enjoying writing and learning new things. She has more recent diplomas in Business and Project Management, and has also studied a variety of interests including piano, chanter, guitar, flute, oil painting, singing, bee keeping, Taekwondo, Aikido and Kung Fu weapons, such as the sai, short sticks, long staff, nunchaku and straight sword.
Kerri loves peaceful forest surroundings occasionally disrupted by her chooks, dog and multiple wild birds, including finches, scrub turkeys and black cockatoos. She loves vegetarian food and her lifestyle reflects her love and respect of all life.
In 2011, Kerri wrote "The Instruction Manual for Kids – Parent's Edition" because there wasn't one, and it seemed to be needed more and more. Later years have seen title become available in eBook and audiobook formats.
From an early age, I always knew I wanted to write a book. When I arrived at "McAllister" as a new bride at twenty-two years of age, a bare block of land in the remote Gulf Country of North Queensland, I knew I had my subject!!
I was born in Deniliquin a long time ago, where I spent an idyllic childhood on a small intensive farm, attending the Deniliquin Public School for my Primary education. Life was a breeze until I was sent to MLC in Sydney to board for my secondary schooling. I was desperately homesick, but worked hard and achieved good results. I was grateful for the high academic standard and the subjects on offer. English, Biology, French, (Maths I loathed), Art and Architecture, Music and both Ancient and Modern History. This gave me a passion for travel and all things creative.
I completed my nursing training at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne and then embarked on an overseas adventure for a year, the subject of my next book!
On my return, I married Rick and moved to the very primitive block of 'nothing' and lived in a shed. The following eighteen years were an amazing experience as we developed "McAllister". You will have to read the book.
It took ten years for me to complete the manuscript, fitting my writing in with the rest of my life. I independently published the book with Ocean Reeve in May 2016 and set off on a marketing campaign, selling 2000 books in nine months and having a ball, visiting all my old haunts, friends and family. I now have a contract with Allen&Unwin which is very exciting.
I'm looking forward to working with the committee and giving back to others embarking on the same journey. I hope my sandwiches will be up to standard but believe me, I've had plenty of training and practice in this department!
Thank you for offering me this opportunity.
Gavin was born in South Africa. He studied there and worked as an architect and project manager before relocating to New Zealand where he lived for seven years with his wife and two daughters.
He also enlisted as a volunteer paramedic for several years and served with the National Sea Rescue Institute on numerous rescue missions. Other interests include flying and scuba diving.
Gavin now resides in the Gold Coast with his wife, Caroline, and currently works for an award-winning construction company as a contracts administrator.

Genre: Horrors, Fantasy

Painting in the style of anime produced in Japan, it was released in 2015. Directed tape, Takashi Yamazaki, managed, it would seem, one of the many of the same cartoons, fit genres like - horror, fantasy, romance. It seems that this show really attracts its unusual storyline, in which twisted the whole scenario. Especially interesting to watch the development of relations between the protagonist and the stranger, and the humanization of extraterrestrial intelligence, and musical accompaniment, is beyond praise. Although the plot of the film is quite prosaic, all evil aliens are trying, once again, to enslave and destroy the human race. But control over the people, the parasite has to penetrate into the brain through the ears or medium nose. Our hero was lucky, though, what can be called luck, when you suddenly feel that you stop to control his right arm. Saved by a simple Japanese schoolboy from penetrating into the brain only that Izumi wears headphones and unego light sleep. A little departure from the shock, the man convinced that his hand invaded the parasite, it can not be held nor any threat, and subsequently can bring a lot of bonuses. This symbiosis of man and the parasite gives both a chance to survive and to complement each other. And our hero has developed a simple rule - it is hard to eat for two, and partner solves many problems Izumi, the more the hand can give odds to any professional in the style of martial arts.

Dear Everyone Else:
Sometimes you seem mystified by Texas. Angered, even.
Who, you wonder, would choose to live in a state that is the second largest by population, but which routinely ranks among the worst for education and access to health care? Who would choose to live in a place where schools and museums must now post large, ugly signs if they don't want people to bring guns on the premises?
"I'm sorry," you tell us with a little smile, when we say we're from Texas.
Look, we get it. We realize that you're working with an idea of a place that seems ridiculous and savage, what with our exuberant fracking and our gun-waving and our politicians who invade Iraq and who threaten secession and, more recently, who cause government shutdowns. You think to yourself, who on earth would elect these yeehawing nutjobs to represent them?
Which reminds you: there's that ludicrous, jingoistic self-regard. We're so irritating with our outsized state pride, our Go Texan Day, our persistent reminders that you were never your own country, and our belligerent state mottos ("Don't Mess with Texas;" "Come and Take It;" "Big As Texas").
The late, great Christopher Hitchens enjoyed savaging us for our habit of selecting education officials who want evolution struck from textbooks, and who think that separation of church and state is a recent plot hatched by atheists, rather than a concept enshrined in the Constitution by our skeptical, agnostic Founding Fathers.
We really do get why you might have a dim view of Texas. We just think it's a little one-dimensional. I remember years ago (when I still read the newspaper on paper), there was a full-page review in the Arts and Leisure section of the Sunday New York Times of a show at a Texas gallery I'd never heard of, of black-and-white photographs of abjectly poor people in East Texas. The images were nothing special, just bad knock-offs of Dorthea Lange or Gordon Parks. As someone intimately familiar with our statewide art scene, I wondered why this, of all the Texas art stories, was the one the NYT decided to lavish with attention that day? Then again, it makes sense that squalid Texas children sitting in dirt yards in front of decrepit meth lab trailers gets the full-page treatment, as opposed to any number of artists working here who merit serious consideration. This fits the narrative we're all comfortable with: you over there with your culture, and us over here with ours.
But this notion of understanding people, whether they're in Texas or anywhere else, in terms of a handful of stereotypes, is becoming more and more problematic in our world, as our national political moment makes abundantly clear. You-in-your-big-patch-of-land versus us-in-our-little-patch-of-land might have been a handy way of organizing ourselves when transportation and the flow of information were slow and difficult, but nowadays it's an antiquated and tribal way of thinking about things. Put another way, superficial observations or criticisms make great soundbites (and rallying cries for going to war—or running for President), but have little to do with the chaos, subtlety and richness of our human reality.
Which is not to say that there aren't differences. Texas is different from other places. John Steinbeck compared Texas to a religion, saying that people either passionately love the place or passionately hate it, "and, as in other religions, few people dare to inspect it for fear of losing their bearings in mystery or paradox."
It is this paradox of Texas that explains its allure for the millions of urban moderates who live here. We don't stay because we all like our statewide politicians or our refinery pollution or closing down medical clinics that service women in rural areas. We stay because we love Texas, and we love it because—cliché or no—there's a sense of independence, that you really can pretty much do whatever you want here. Our state character derives from the people who settled this state: tough, independent bastards who wanted out from under the establishment (which, not coincidentally, also describes many of the early settlers of our country, and many of the immigrants who come here to this day). It also describes what it is to be an artist. The artists who choose to live in Texas do so despite the fact that the art market is headquartered elsewhere. For them, the glamour and pull of the big money isn't strong enough to overcome the pull of the Texas ethos of looking at and thinking about the world independently.
My friend Carl Horn, a manga editor for Dark Horse Comics, pointed out to me recently that the seminal British science fiction writer (and self-described "anarchist and anti-imperialist") Michael Moorcock lives half the year in Bastrop, Texas. In 2002 Moorcock told Texas Monthly that he had moved to America in the spirit of his revolutionary hero Thomas Paine, and he chose Texas, he said, "because I didn't want to move to one of the usual British enclaves—New York, Boston, or San Francisco… I wanted to move somewhere which had its own strong mythology and Texas has that in bucket-loads. The landscape lends itself to a very distinctive mythology which has, of course, influenced much of the world."
Embracing the mystery and paradox of Texas means taking the good with the bad, and sometimes it seems like the rest of the country doesn't want to take the good. Even the things that people elsewhere like about Texas are not the things we Texans care about. Only tourists get excited about Prada Marfa. There's way more that's cool and interesting about this state, and it offers itself up for discovery endlessly, even to people like me who've lived here most of their lives.
As they say, may you live in interesting times. But may you also live in an interesting place. In Texas, we do.

great references on Robert Rauschenberg.
I think the examples you give to dislike Texas are very specific and the examples you give to like Texas are too vague.
I know there's an argument in there somewhere about why we should like Texas but I'm having a hard time finding it in this article. Also the nausea at seeing the Ted Cruz picture overwhelmed any other reaction I might have.
Best wishes.
I'm from the Arkansas Ozarks but spent nearly five years attended Baylor University, in Waco, Texas, and I like the state.
However, we Arkansawyers know that Texans look down on us. Even Glasstire:
"The museum's home of Bentonville, high in the Ozarks (the region is undeniably beautiful), is also home to the Walmart Corporation, and it's a semi-charming town, but the region feels a little spooky. Its stubborn ruralness has a whiff of meth hillbilly. As I walked and drove around town and dealt with my hotel's front-desk people and gas-station cashiers and the like, I could sometimes hear the sinister banjo playing in my head."
That was from an article on Crystal Bridges Museum. A number of commenters took exception to these remarks, but received no response.
Jeffery Hodges
Having gone to both high-school and college in Texas, I had a bit of a feel of it.
Kingwood, Houston, Galveston, Austin, and San Antonio were a few of the places I "rested my hat".
Words and phrasing have always been important to me, which is why your last paragraph leaves me a bit puzzled. "May you live in interesting times," is a English expression (misattributed to the Chinese), wishing ill upon the recipient.
Your last paragraph appears to state that Texans live in both a cursed time and place.
Is that what you meant?
Sincerely yours,
Rainey, do you know Molly Ivin's statement "Texas is the national laboratory for bad gub'ment."? Hilarious and so very true. She wrote that back in the 80's when she was covering the Lege! When Abe Rosenthal fired Molly from the NYT because she didn't fit in with his patriarchal views of writers and their work she returned to Dallas then settled in Austin. Why? For the very reasons you state that artists come to Texas or stay here – there is room for independent thinking.
Thanks for a great op ed. It's good to be reminded of the great things here when met with disdain and resistance to Texas as I have been these past years working on my doc about Molly.
You could almost drop the Texas from the piece and replace it with the USA. I live in California which is large state and we have many differing views of what it means to be a Californian. I am glad you brought Steinbeck into the equation. His book America and Americans written in the 60's was seminal in bringing me home to the country I love and hate.
Rainey, I like your tribute to Texas; it's honest, not defensive. I think Texas fosters artistry and independence. I was born and raised here, one of seven girls. I have lived in Africa, Mexico, Belize, Bangladesh, Indonesia and Vietnam and have lived in Houston since 1967, and I LOVE Texas! (btw, it's Steinbeck)

"grain free" - use the lowest ISO setting possible
"non blurry" - use as high a shutter speed as possible
I suspect you'll need a tripod or at least a monopod. Shutter speed less of an issue if using a tripod, but more of an issue if plane is moving (which from your description, it will be). Movement will be less of an issue if the plane is nose-on moving towards you, more of an issue if side-on moving across your field of view.
Unfortunately, low ISO and high shutter speed is a tricky combo in the dark!

Tahitian surfer Michel Bourez has claimed his first Pipe Masters title, closing out the season by beating American rookie Kanoa Igarashi in the final.It was an unlikely final match-up, with Bourez upsetting world champion John John Florence earlier on Tuesday (AEDT) in the quarter-finals.Igarashi also claimed the massive scalp of 11-time world champion and seven-time Pipe Master winner Kelly Slater with a last-ditch semi-final win.Josh Kerr was the only Australian heat winner on a busy last day of competition when he took out his fourth-round contest.But Kerr was eliminated in the quarter-finals, while former world champion Joel Parkinson and newcomer Ryan Callinan had earlier bowed out in the fifth round.While Florence remains without a Pipe Masters title at his home break on the North Shore, by reaching the quarter-finals at Banzai Pipeline he claimed another win.The newly-crowned world champions result on Tuesday gave him the Hawaiian Triple Crown for the third time.It was also the only title for Bourez this year on the world tour and the first time he has taken out the Pipe Masters.Bourez was in disbelief after the final, having come back from a badly-broken hand suffered in a wipeout last year at the feared Teahupoo break.It was really tricky and tough for me to come back. I almost dropped off tour, he said.I worked really hard at home and tried to stay positive the whole time ... this is huge for me.Bourez, now a three-time winner on the world tour, also relished dispatching Florence in the quarters.John is incredible - Ive lost the Triple Crown twice because of him so that was a little payback, he said.This is the biggest event to win for a surfer and I did it.It was a banner day as well for Igarashi, who starred in his Pipe Masters debut.The 19-year-old is the youngest surfer on the mens tour, but he kept his nerve to beat Slater in their semi.The surfing legend led throughout, before Igarashi nailed a 8.83 wave score in the last 30 seconds to beat him by just 0.5.Its his first time in the Pipe Masters and hes made the final, which is pretty sick, Slater said.

. This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

. The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.

Hernandez:?Freddy Garcia and Pedro Martinez.Who is your favorite player to watch today (not a teammate)? Hernandez:?Not a teammate? Why not? (Laughs). Mike Trout. Him and Miguel Cabrera. But I watch Trout doing his stuff in center field, running baseballs down. For me, I mean, I live down in the zone, and his swing, I mean, every down ball he can just reach out. Thats what tough for me.Who is your most underrated teammate? Hernandez:?Right now? I would say Franklin [Gutierrez]. Hes pretty good. Were really close. We have a good relationship. On the field and off the field, we talk about everything. Being around him and what hes been through the last few years, Im his friend. Im always with him. I say, You dont make any plays for me. Hes like, Dude, Ive got everythingg here.dddddddddddd I can show you. Every time you pitch, I make one play.One rule you would change?Hernandez:?I dont know about that one. Its a tough one. I would say, not replays, but not robot umpires. They shouldnt do that. Thats a bad idea for the pitchers. I like replay. Man, if they get it right, yeah. Its better for the teams if they get it right.Who is ultimately responsible for policing the game? Players, manager, umpires, league? Hernandez:?Skipper. He talks to the players and then they get together.How big of a problem are PEDs in todays game? Hernandez:?I want [to make] no comments about that.What is something that people dont know about you or have wrong about you?Hernandez:?Im a good person. They dont think it when they see me pitch. They think Im a mean guy. (Laughs). But off the field, Im a really good person.

In the past, I have written about the importance of doing regular dependent eligibility audits and litigation over payment of retirement benefits to spouses, ex-spouses and other beneficiaries.
But every once in a while, a case comes to my attention that reminds me that one of the hardest parts of maintaining benefit plans is that they benefit employees and their dependents, and frequently the status of these folks can change. Consequently, keeping track of dependent status is a key component of good plan administration.
In Forristal v. Federal Express, the district court in Massachusetts considered a case where the employee claimed that he was a victim of wrongful termination. He claimed that the basis for his termination was, in part, punishment for keeping his ex-spouse enrolled in the company health plan for seven years after his divorce.
The company found out about the deception when the employee asked to drop the ex-spouse because he was getting remarried. From a purely legal point of view, the employer argued that ERISA pre-empted the wrongful discharge claim and the court ultimately agreed. Because the claim ultimately related to the administration of the plan, it was pre-empted by Section 514 of ERISA.
However, setting the legal arguments aside, the plan language in question clearly made it so that the ex-spouse was not eligible for benefits. But for seven years, it continued to treat the ex-spouse as a covered dependent.
Employees status frequently change
I have seen in the past where retirement plans have run into a quandary over payment of retirement benefits to the spouse only to find out that a divorce has occurred.
Moreover, I have actually seen situations where the plan has continued to list a deceased spouse as a primary beneficiary. I have even seen a situation where a health plan accidentally continued coverage for a spouse of a deceased employee for years, apparently not aware that the employee had died.
Also see: Is your client ready for a DOL audit of its health plan?
In each of these situations, there were logical explanations for how the mistakes occurred. But in each case, it struck me that problems could have been avoided with a regular review of who the plan considered to be dependents.
Good recordkeeping is important for good plan administration. Not all plans have open enrollment every year where dependent eligibility can be checked, so consider some type of audit of your plans to verify dependents are still in fact dependents under the terms of your plan.
And before you make fun of Federal Express in this case, make sure you dont have the same problem.

Philadelphia Inquirer
POSTED: Saturday, November 3, 2012, 3:01 Am
Dance wends its way through the four pieces on the Philadelphia Orchestra's present program led by Giancarlo Guerrero - bolero, the Charleston, and Martha Graham. No actual dancers appear, but movement and stories are left behind - as in an elegant reading of Appalachian Spring, the 1945 version of the piece Copland first called Ballet for Martha. Thursday night in Verizon Hall, the winds (flutist David Cramer, oboist Peter Smith, clarinetist Ricardo Morales) were vehicles of sincerity and simplicity.
Ears needed Copland's peace, given the rest of the program. Medea's Dance of Vengeance by Barber, even when it's not boiling over, is threatening to. Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F offered pianist Kirill Gerstein, whose big and bright sound and smart little cheats of rhythm here and there restored edge to a well-worn score. You knew the ride would be a wild one by the opening rush from the podium. After a while, much of the interpretive authorship could be ascribed to Guerrero, a generally brusque presence all night, and especially so in overlooking chances to stretch a rhythm or shape a melody. Alone, Gerstein made it clear that he saw Gershwin as expressive kin to Rachmaninoff. It made for a lovely connection.
The most important artistic statement was last, but the appearance of a new work at the end of the program scared off the three or four dozen audience deserters even before the piece could make its case. Roberto Sierra's Sinfonía No. 4, in fact, is the friendliest of music - so descriptive and dramatic it could be the opening-title music if The Incredibles are ever called upon to save the tropical rainforest.
Film music wasn't Sierra's charge. Rather, the four-movement work was a commission by the Sphinx Organization and 12 orchestras, including Philadelphia, as part of an effort to bring works to concert halls by black and Latino composers. But Sierra's imagination fires the listener's: a dark orchestral thicket lit only by harp, coiled tension that only partially resolves, scurrying and punching. Menace awaits everywhere. The third movement, "Tiempo de bolero," is the emotional heart of the work, and two pieces in one. Never overtly stated, Chopin's Prelude No. 4 in E minor shadows the music, a romance playing out while frantic dystopian material is layered over it. A love scene? If it is, love has never been more complex, and maybe even sinister.

MELBOURNE — Australian adult star Angela White has launched her official website, which features the busty brunette in all-new and exclusive content with some of the porn industry's top performers.
AngelaWhite.com, which is the star's first official web destination, contains a back catalog of 15 scenes, including White's hardcore encounters with Jayden Jaymes, Sophie Dee and Seth Gamble.
"I'm so excited to finally be launching my personal website," White said. "I produce and direct all of the content myself which allows me to truly explore my sexuality on my own terms."
White said she has upcoming scenes set to debut on her site with top stars such as Alexis Texas, Phoenix Marie, Dani Daniels, Manuel Ferrara and James Deen. This Wednesday on the site she will unveil her first squirting scene—with Spanish stud Ramon Nomar.
"I feel very privileged to have shot with some of the biggest names in porn," White said. "Being able to choose my lovers was very important to me and was another reason that I decided to produce my own content and site.
"The squirting scene is one of my favorites. Not only is this my first squirting scene, not only do I squirt not once but twice, but this is the first time I've squirted in my life. Ever. It really was a life-changing event for me."
She said that her site members can expect new and exclusive solo, girl/girl and boy/girl photos and videos every month, as well as weekly, live-streaming, webcam shows.
GMBill and CCBill will process billing for AngelaWhite.com.
"Being an Australian citizen presented many obstacles to billing, so I am very grateful to Garion Hall from GMBill for helping me through the process of setting up my Dutch company and merchant accounts," White added.
She will be launching an affiliate program run through GMBill in 2014. Affiliates already making sales through CCBill will be able to merge their accounts.
Australia's most well-known adult performer recently was featured in a two-page article in Australia's Cosmopolitan magazine. Cosmo found White after she was featured on the front page of the Sydney Morning Herald, one of the most respected newspapers in the country. Currently, she is also profiled in Time Out magazine and this week she will appear on live Australian TV for the Studio 10 morning show.
White started her adult entertainment career in 2003 and became the first Australian to pose for Score Group in the U.S. within the year. She made her mainstream debut in 2007, landing on the Australian TV comedy series "Pizza."
Then White received national attention during her bid for the Australian Sex Party senate seat in the 2010 Victorian state election. During that campaign she publicly fought for the rights of sex workers.
That same year White graduated from the University of Melbourne with First Class Honours in Gender Studies. She now also runs her own production company, AGW Entertainment B.V.

Almost a decade ago, Allen Oren was visiting the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington when he stopped to watch a video testimonial from a survivor.
The man, a Romanian violinist named Shony Braun, was recalling how he was forced to work in a German salt mine and how on Yom Kippur, several dozen prisoners risked their lives by chanting the famous opening prayer, the Kol Nidre. They were quickly beaten by the SS.
Oren, a veteran journalist and a rabbi's son, started wondering how the Kol Nidre became a central prayer in Jewish life, its haunting melody one of the most identifiable features of Jewish history and culture. He decided to find out.
The result is a documentary, "18 Voices Sing Kol Nidre," which is airing on PBS stations across the country in September. (Check local listings for times.)
"How did one prayer, the Kol Nidre, become so important to one people, the Jews?" he asks at the start of the film.
Oren interviewed 18 people from many backgrounds about the role of the Kol Nidre in their lives. Their stories, taken together, cover the murky origins, painful history and undeniable religious impact of a simple, misunderstood prayer that Jews the world over will chant at the start of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, on the evening of Sept. 17.
"I got some answers and a new appreciation for the beauty of the music," Oren said at his home just before the Jewish High Holy Days, which began Wednesday night with the start of Rosh Hashana. "The beauty of the melody moved people and saved the Kol Nidre — because the words caused so much trouble."
According to one rabbi interviewed in the film, the story of the Kol Nidre began in ancient times, when people believed that spirits and demons would punish them for various misdoings, including the making of unfulfilled vows. People would offer incantations to atone for promises they did not keep.
"Magic countered magic," Rabbi Stuart Weinberg Gershon explains.
The Kol Nidre developed as such a declaration. The prayer, which means "All Vows" in Aramaic, asks God to annul all religious vows made in the coming year. The idea is to apologize for vows made to God without real intent.
During the Middle Ages, when Jews faced oppression across Europe, the Kol Nidre was held up as proof that Jews broke promises and could not be trusted. In the 13th century the French royal court put the Jewish community on trial for hostility to Christianity and pointed to the Kol Nidre.
According to a law professor in the film, the Jews lost. In some European countries, Jews had to take humiliating oaths of loyality in the public square.
"Jews were seen as Christ killers and were meant to suffer," Mel Scult, an historian, tells Oren.
In 1844, when Reform Judaism was founded in Germany, its leaders abolished the Kol Nidre from their new prayer book. Though the prayer was still chanted, it did not return to Reform prayer books until 1978.
So how did the Kol Nidre survive and thrive? It's powerful, moody melody.
Julius Lester, an African-American convert to Judaism, is quoted in the film as saying that he was moved by the prayer when he played it on a piano as a boy.
"It is happy and sad at the same time," was his boyhood memory.
The Kol Nidre was introduced to many outside of the Jewish community in 1927, when Al Jolson's character chanted it in the very first talking film, "The Jazz Singer."
"It is among the first words uttered on film," film curator Eric Goldman says.
The Kol Nidre would be recorded by Perry Como, Johnny Mathis and the psychedelic rock band the Electric Prunes. It's been recorded as classical music, jazz, with blues fiddles and with sitars.
The prayer's most famous musical arrangement was written by Max Bruch, a German, Christian composer.
Oren, 64, a former editor at USA Today and other publications, won an Emmy Award for a series of films on the history of Madison Square Garden.
His late father, William, served for 50 years as rabbi of the Bayside Jewish Center in Queens.
When Oren didn't get much initial interest in a documentary about the Kol Nidre, he and his wife, Rivi, decided to pay for it themselves. The cost was in the tens of thousands, Oren said. "It wasn't Ken Burns," he said.
Fortunately, a distribution group for the Public Broadcasting Service liked the film and made possible its wide showing.
On his website, 18voices.com, Oren invites others to share their stories about the Kol Nidre.
"I'll be surprised if I do not get a lot of poignant remembrances of the Kol Nidre," he said. "Maybe there's a sequel in that."
Beloved melody inspires reverence for Yom Kippur
Almost a decade ago, Allen Oren was visiting the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington when he stopped to watch a video testimonial from a survivor.
