Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for private individuals. This is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a vehicle for a contractual period � usually referred to as the �lease period�. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract � when the contract expires you will simply return the vehicle and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your vehicle.

Ten Second Review
The second generation version of Vauxhall's Insignia gains 'Grand Sport' badging in five-door hatch form, along with smarter looks, a classier cabin, hi-tech features and an efficient engine range. If, like many business buyers, you're browsing in the £20,000 to £30,000 bracket selecting a medium range Mondeo segment model or a compact executive saloon contender, it's a car you really can't afford to overlook.
If you perceive Vauxhall's Insignia as a middle management mainstream company car, then the brand reckons it's time you had a re-think. The second generation version of this model gets sleeker looks and a new 'Grand Sport' name for the five-door hatch bodystyle. It's much lighter and more sophisticated than its predecessor, with a more spacious cabin, plus the option of 4WD and a new 8-speed auto gearbox. Think of a feature you can get in a pricey compact German premium brand - LED matrix lighting, Lane Keep Assist, Head-up Display, cutting-edge media connectivity. All of it's on offer here, plus use of Vauxhall's brilliant OnStar concierge system. It's a strong package.
Driving Experience
On the move, this Insignia feels like the bigger car it's now become, the suspension floating you over broken surfaces that would have troubled and impeded the previous model. Importantly, this second generation model is 175kg lighter than its predecessor and that really shows when cornering at speed, where there's less body roll than before and generally, a much higher level of agility. As for engines, well most buyers will continue to want a diesel, with the majority of sales likely to go to the 1.6-litre Turbo D unit we tried, offered with either 110 or 136PS. If you trade up to the 170PS 2.0-litre diesel, efficiency drops off markedly, though there's the compensation of 400Nm of pulling power, a figure that will be improved further if you go for the 210PS biturbo variant. Engine-wise, you'll find much more that's really different if you turn your attention to petrol power, with both units on offer being completely new. Small capacity turbocharged engines that use unleaded are very much in vogue at present and the 1.5-litre unit supplied here should suit that trend, offered with either 140 or 165PS. Further up the range sits a potent 260PS 2.0-litre petrol Turbo model that showcases both of what are arguably the two most significant engineering developments introduced with this second generation Insignia. One is the super-slick 8-speed auto gearbox that's optional on lesser models. The other is a sophisticated new intelligent all-wheel drive system that uses a state-of-the-art rear torque vectoring system for greater cornering traction and sharper turn-in.
Design and Build
Vauxhall reckons that this Insignia Grand Sport has 'the aura of a car from the premium, upper class'; you decide. It certainly looks a great deal smarter than its predecessor. It comes only in hatch form, but as an alternative, there's the option of a 'Sports Tourer' estate. The prominent grille and slim-line headlamps enhance the wide horizontal design of the front end and provide it with a bold appearance. The grille sits lower than on the outgoing model and further emphasises its solid stance. What Vauxhall calls a 'sweepspear' feature starts in the front door and gives the impression that this model is always ready to pounce, which is a nod to the athletic lightness of the Monza Concept car that inspired it. More importantly, under the skin, this design has shed up to 175kgs over its predecessor. Its roof is 29mm lower and its track has increased by 11mm. The overhangs have been reduced considerably and the wheelbase enlarged by 92mm. And the exemplary drag factor of 0.26 makes this car one of the most aerodynamic vehicles in its class. The cabin has also taken a step up-market. The driver sits lower and is surrounded by clean lines, pleasant surfaces and impressive build quality, a highlight being the frameless touchscreen of the improved IntelliLink infotainment system. The extended wheelbase gives passengers in the rear more space. There's a roomy 490-litre boot too.
Market and Model
Insignia buyers choose between this five-door Grand Sport hatch model or the Sports Tourer estate variant. There are seven trim levels available - 'Design', 'Design Nav', 'SRi', 'SRi Nav', 'SRi Vx-line Nav', 'Tech Line Nav' and 'Elite Nav'. The asking figures start at around £17,000 and range to around £28,000, pricing that offers extremely strong competition to the German premium-badged compact executive models that Vauxhall would ideally like to target. There's plenty of clever equipment features that should interest that target market. The 'IntelliLux LED matrix light' for example, which illuminates with 32 LED segments and integrates in this Insignia's smarter, slimmer headlamps. Other driver assistance systems include a Head-up-Display, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Vauxhall is still one of the few manufacturers to offer seats certified the 'Campaign for Healthy Backs'. And, as for media connectivity, well, as you would expect, the IntelliLink infotainment system is compatible with the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Insignia Grand Sport buyers also get Vauxhall OnStar, the brand's the ground-breaking connectivity and service assistant. This offers services ranging from Automatic Crash Response to Stolen Vehicle Assistance. A new concierge service is available to Insignia Grand Sport customers, enabling passengers to ask OnStar advisors to select a hotel and proceed to room reservation. Furthermore, up to seven devices can be connected to the car's Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Cost of Ownership
Around 85% of Insignia buyers go for a diesel - and you can see why. Well over 70mpg is possible from the 1.6 CDTi unit most Grand Sport buyers will choose. As for residual values, well these will depend on whether the industry recognises this Grand Sport model's shift up-market. Even if it does, the depreciation levels won't match those of premium German rivals. But then, you'll be paying less up-front in the first place, so it's swings and roundabouts. CO2 figures are very competitive, the base 110PS 1.6-litre diesel capable of putting out as little as 105g/km. The volume 2.0-litre diesel manages 136g/km. The base 1.5-litre petrol variant manages 133g/km. You'll also need to know that Vauxhall includes a three-year, 60,000 mile warranty as standard, a package that can be extended up to five years and 100,000 miles at extra cost. A year's free breakdown cover is also provided, along with a six-year anti-corrosion guarantee. Plus you can opt for a service plan that lets you pay monthly to spread the cost of regular work to your car. As part of this, Vauxhall offers discounts on wear and tear items, such as brake pads and windscreen wipers.

My grandfather was born in Menard, Jose C Aguirre. His father was Alberto Aguirre. Both are buried in the Melvin Cemetery in Melvin,TX. As you enter the cemetery, all the Hispanics entered are on your left- or the west side. Adame is another name you will see in the vicinity. They tended to be friends of one another and may be relations as well. This is the closest I have come to meeting another "Aguirre" from Menard, TX.

Sunday October 30, 2016
Let's start with the big picture:
- Educational establishments have inadvertently introduced ill-conceived policies that could be considered a form of 'child abuse'.
- Parents seem ignorant of the harm that their children are subjected to when they start school.
- The system can marginalise substantial numbers of children who are are not 'ready' for school.
- Testing children at five can harm the well-being and long-term attainment of children.
- Questions are being asked about a link between children who are marginalised by schools and subsequent radicalisation.
- Proven solutions such as ensuring all children have self-esteem and resilience are dismissed by the government.
Why do I draw these disturbing conclusions? Well, has your mind ever been severely jolted by an article, giving you a big wake-up call? That was my experience when reading Primary First (Issue 16), the magazine of the National Association for Primary Education (NAPE). Pam Jarvis (pp. 6-7) describes the differences in children and adults' brains and how the educational establishment fails to recognise this - relentlessly continuing to roll out ill conceived policies, such as to test children between their fifth and sixth birthday on their phonic competence. The article's logic is fascinating and convincing but it was her conclusion that stunned me:
'... many contemporary early education policies are shockingly ill-informed...also discriminatory and therefore contrary to human rights...could eventually lead to claims for compensation for psychological damage...'
I felt very uncomfortable as I began to reflect on whether as a Headteacher I had been inadvertently colluding in a form of low-level child abuse. That I had not spoken out enough to stop aspects of schooling that are based on dogma rather than in the best interests of children. I began thinking about our current educational culture, which is determined by well-meaning but ill-informed politicians and officials, who continue to fuel educational myths that support an unintended form of 'child abuse'. Economic principles rather than educational ones fuel many of these myths. Margaret Clark in the same NAPE magazine (pp. 8-13) draws attention to the fact that one in three pupils are not ready for school in terms of their cognitive skills, physical development, socio-emotional and language competences.
I agree both with Pam and Margaret's analysis and in regularly observing the education of young children in our schools, I am concerned that we are fuelling the marginalisation of particularly vulnerable children from a very early age. The Government is rightly concerned about radicalisation as a major threat to the stability of our society but: I have a growing understanding that by marginalising children we store up not only problems for them but also society. Marginalisation can occur when children are either not ready for school or have a condition that inhibits learning. For instance, according to Professor Norbury at UCL, approximately two children in every year one class will experience a clinically significant language disorder that impacts leaning.
There is an unrealistic expectation, which has become a shibboleth, that all children can reach high standards; that it is only the quality of teaching that stops this happening. For many children who are not ready for school, arriving with limited social skills, delayed speech, lacking self-help skills and resilience the 'system' will cause them to have low self-esteem, adversely affect their mental well being and negatively affect their educational attainment. It is such marginalised people, admittedly a very tiny percentage, who as young adults, become susceptible to the allure of dangerous ideologies that offer them an identity and with it a meaning and purpose for their lives. For instance, we learn that the Nice terrorist Bouheil had serious untreated mental problems for more than a decade (Telegraph, 16 July 2016).
Such people become the fodder for radicalisation by perpetrators of evil behaviour. In my view, global educational trends exacerbate social unrest. This view is supported by Andy Hargreaves who commented in his article, Blooming Teachers (RSA: Journal Issue 1 2016):
'While the compelling need for creativity, care and compassion across the world has been growing, the greatest global educational trend of the past two decades ran completely contrary to it, driven by the promise of short-term results.'
What can you and I do to support the well being of all children in schools and change the trend? The priority surely must be that policy and practices reflect the understanding that school culture must provide an environment that treats each child as a unique human being and celebrated as such. That learning and teaching is appropriate for each child's stage of development and focuses on inspiring children to love learning; that readiness for learning is considered as key determinant for curriculum progression; that psychological well-being must underpin all aspects of the curriculum.
With these thoughts in mind, I thought it important to tweet the then newly appointed Secretary of Education Justine Greening as follows:
'Congrats from #vbezone to @JustineGreening. Please prioritise well being, as it determines all other personal social & educational outcomes.'
My own research, (Oxford University, 2005) shows that it is in the culture of values-based schools that children will be more likely to thrive psychologically. Jane Hawkes, educational consultant, has a vision that schools need to understand and implement what she describes as the Inner Curriculum (IC). The IC is about an understanding of, and subsequent deliberate focus on, the child's internal world of thoughts, feelings and emotions. Jane passionately argues that all children are entitled to develop a secure sense of self, which she defines as a child's innate capacity to be altruistic and compassionate, with a natural curiosity and excitement about learning and life. This aptitude profoundly enhances their readiness for learning and lays the foundation on which personal and social wisdom is built. Ideally, a secure sense of self will have been established in all children by the age of seven.
There are many schools that swim across the tide of educational policy by ensuring that, as far as they can determine, children are helped to construct their unique sense of self. In practice this means that schools will have nurtured positive personal competencies, which include high self-esteem, resilience and self-leadership. Some of these schools deliberately embrace this educational philosophy and become what is termed, 'values-based schools' i.e. their curriculum and life is underpinned by a community-selected list of positive human values such as respect, tolerance and hope, which guide all school policies and practices.
From my personal perspective, I see Headteachers discovering and celebrating the potency of carefully planned and delivered values-based education. May I share with you the following endorsements about such an approach from three Headteachers.
Evelyn Davies, Headteacher of Coldfall School in London, wrote:
'The values journey has been the most inspiring experience for us as a staff and for the local community.'
Martin Smith, Head of Pixies School in Hemel Hempstead remarked:
'We are all ecstatic here as all the staff really believe in our values journey and want it to continue to be the heartbeat of the school...Values - it is certainly changing lives!'
And to put the icing on the cake, Dawn Wilson, Head of Park Lane Primary School in Nuneaton rejoined:
'The values-based education approach has transformed Park Lane and we look forward to building on this success over the coming years.'
But, I hear you say, what can I do? My hope is that you will encourage teaching to be a collaborative, research-led profession, freed from ill-advised political whims. That if you are a teacher or parent you will review your own practice, asking to what extent it nurtures a child's secure sense of self. I hope you will be prepared to challenge practices that are not attuned to the well-being of children and I wish you well in making your voice heard.
Dr. Neil Hawkes, Independent Thinking Associate, founder of Values-based Education and the VbE kitemark and author of From My Heart: Transforming Lives Through Values published by the Independent Thinking Press.

Nosy Parker
In between Cranmer, burnt at the stake for his adherence to Calvinism under Queen Mary, and Archbishop Laud, executed in 1645 for his opposition to Puritanism, we find Matthew Parker, appointed Archbishop of Canterbury by Elizabeth I in 1559. He is described in The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church as 'a wise and tolerant, though hardly a forceful, archbishop, preferring scholarship to controversy'. That might remind some of a more recent archbishop; if avoiding controversy meant avoiding execution, it probably wasn't a bad thing. (more…)

Marco Arment walk into a new Microsoft Store with "Surface with Windows RT" launch:
The salesman launched into an elaborate pitch. He wasn't a confident speaker, so the rote was obvious. I wanted to jump right in and start playing with the software, but the salesman kept butting in and driving "my" demo … I went to another Surface and was greeted by another salesman. He also aggressively demoed the tablet for me, not letting me take over for more than three seconds at a time. It was obvious that they had all had the same training and were instructed to hard-sell the same talking points. The pitches were aggressive, fast-paced, and competitively defensive: they often mentioned "other tablets" and didn't let me forget which features were "not available on any other tablet".
A great post which, not coincidentally, is not far from Sam Rijver's story on Tablets Magazine. The most astonishing part though is the following:
I tried rotating the Surface. There was a long enough delay that I thought rotation just wasn't supported, then it kicked in and the newly laid out screen just popped in. No transition, no animation. I switched to a different app and tried the same thing with the same results. Rotation was always slow and sloppy.
Bear in mind that this is a modern Operating System on modern hardware. I have read enough to not take this OS seriously.

In just a month, Microsoft will terminate support for Windows Server 2003, driving the need for millions of tech upgrades because businesses simply cannot run a new OS on old servers. This situation, coupled with big data and the cloud presenting new infrastructure challenges, is forcing IT organizations to change their traditional mindset when it comes to IT upgrades. Gone are the days of determining a storage investment's value in dollars per GB; now, speed is key to evaluating the ROI.
This fact becomes more apparent when organizations run applications that control key business operations—such as databases, analytics, and online transaction processing—that require both absolute performance and consistent response times to deliver results more quickly, help reach decisions faster, or speed a customer's transaction. Advances in flash technology, along with its ever-increasing affordability, are opening doors to the enterprise at this critical time.
We sat down with Tom Coughlin, president of Coughlin Associates, to get his reading on the flash market and the current market drivers for CIOs. Read on for the details.
Q: Windows Server 2003 is nearing end of life, and that's triggering updates of server and storage infrastructure. How different, or similar, are today's server and storage landscapes compared to those of 2003?
A: Back in 2003, there was considerably less Internet access and considerably lower speeds on average than what is available today. The increase in performance and the greater access to networking technology also are accompanied by declines in the price of bandwidth and hardware. These developments have created fertile ground for distributed computer architectures and the rise of what has come to be called "the cloud."
Making computing, networking, and storage capacities available through low-cost Ethernet has also encouraged other ways to economize, particularly in higher utilization of system resources and the rise of new models for data retention, such as object storage. This is often done by breaking physical hardware into virtual units that can quickly be made available to users or removed from users depending upon demand. Server software in 2015 must take into account the rise of virtualization, new data retention architectures, the increase in distributed computing, and the use of cloud computing.
Q: What's the biggest hurdle for enterprises looking to upgrade their server and storage infrastructure for the next decade?
A: The first hurdle is to choose the appropriate infrastructure for their current and anticipated applications and then determine how to migrate content from that older infrastructure into the new infrastructure. The push toward using commodity hardware makes choosing management software an important element in a flexible and relatively future-proof storage infrastructure.
Q: What would you say is the single most important thing that enterprises should do with their storage infrastructures this year?
A: Look at the ROI of continuing current practices versus moving to more modern practices. It could well be that new infrastructure (HW and SW) could provide cost and performance advantages that would pay for themselves in a very short time. Also, be sure to work with a realistic model of what you are likely to need in this infrastructure in the next few years. For example, can you extend the use of current hardware by changes in software or by moving older hardware to a lower-performing tier to support some new hardware? The right choices involve trade-offs between many variables.
Q: What should enterprises invest in to ensure that their server and storage infrastructure remains valuable and that they remain competitive?
A: With today's rate of change in enterprise hardware and software, organizations must remain aware of the developments that will transform their industries. For most industries, a careful transition to new architectures will result in competitive advantages in terms of both productivity and overall system costs.
Tom Coughlin, president of Coughlin Associates, is a widely respected storage analyst and consultant. He has over 30 years in the data storage industry and has held multiple engineering and management positions at high-profile companies and leadership roles in many industry organizations.

Dear Mike and Sean,
Thank YOU for all of your energy and efforts! You ABSOLUTELY THRILLED the audience...there were NO pauses and we were all like 'little kids' filled with anticipation and delight! Colour scheme gorgeous ~ each display beautifully orchestrated!
From the moment I contacted your company...you were 'keen and professional'. I rang quite a few companies before you, simply going through a 'list' and no one could even HIT THE BALL BACK.
You have been a pleasure to meet and a complete JOY to work with. Although I'll be departing for an international move to the States early December, rest assured all others 'left in charge' will KNOW your details and all about your expertise!
Thank you for your energy and creativity; you went 'over and above' the call of duty! We were all SO impressed and appreciative and everyone even FORGOT THEY WERE COLD! I personally felt like I was in Darling Harbour and Château Tanunda could not have looked more GRAND!
Many thanks to you both.
Sincerely Yours, Patricia Gordon-Stevens Major Events & Corporate Functions Manager Château Tanunda
Mike has conducted the Barmera Fireworks Spectacular for 25 years in a professional manner. We don't even look to go elsewhere.
Barmera Live Action Group
The Philpot family of Ballistic Fireworks has provided the Riverland Speedway with all its firework exhibitions for many years. Mike and the family team have been friendly, helpful and professional. Every Easter display has been a key part of our event. Our spectators have been hooked right through to the spectacular finale, where they were simply left awestruck. Very good feedback from everyone who witnessed their displays.
Riverland Speedway Promotions Inc
The Renmark Christmas Celebration
Committee has employed the services of Ballistic Fireworks for as long as I
have been involved with the group. This is at least 6 years.
Mike and his team are simply a
pleasure to work with. From discussions before pageant day about what we
require and setting a budget, through to setup and execution on the day. The
whole process is simple and easy.
Our fireworks display is slightly
problematic, considering it is set out in the middle of the river. This
is no problem for Ballistic Fireworks. Mike organises the barges, sets
everything up and makes the entire show run as we expect.
Every year patrons to the Pageant
rave about the quality of the Renmark fireworks and people come from towns
around the Riverland the see the display.
At our committee meetings, we have
never felt the need to consider any other firework provider. With Ballistic
Firework's track record and portfolio of events there is simply no other choice
for the Renmark Christmas Pageant.
I would highly recommend Ballistic
Fireworks to any organisation wanting a fireworks display!

Vampires are one of the monsters seen on the whiteboard. They are bet on by the Distribution department.
The first time a vampire is seen is during the elevator scene and later when Hadley and Sitterson are searching the cube prisons for Dana Polk and Marty Mikalski. He is briefly seen on the left screen that Daniel Truman is staring at.
Later on during the System Purge, one of them can be seen on the monitors in the control room, slowly creeping out of the darkness behind a facility worker.A bottle of Vampire Breath summons them.
Vampires are possibly one the most famous horror monsters used in folklore and legend throughout history. They are mentioned in some form or another in virtually every culture on Earth, originally depicted as evil spirits who frequented roads and places associated with death, such as mausoleums and graveyards; however, it was not until the novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker where they were described as living corpses reliant on the blood of the living to exist, a form which they are known as today. Famous examples include the Vampyre and Dracula. The ones shown in the film are clear references to the look and demeanor of famed vampire Count Orlok in the movie, Nosferatu, who also inspired the Nosferatu-esque vampire character, Kurt Barlow, from Stephen King's novel, Salem's Lot,and its film adaptation.

Country Music
Country Music is an eight-part, over sixteen-hour documentary that will chronicle the history of a uniquely American art form, rising from the experiences of everyday people in distinctive regions of our nation. From southern Appalachia's songs of struggle, heartbreak and faith to the rollicking western swing of Texas, from California honky tonks to Nashville's Grand Ole Opry, we will follow the evolution of country music over the course of the twentieth century, as it eventually emerged to become "America's music." Like the award-winning film Jazz, this multi-episode series will focus on the biographies of the fascinating characters who created this American musical genre — from the Carter family, Jimmie Rodgers and Bob Wills, to Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Charley Pride, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Emmylou Harris, Garth Brooks and many more — as well as the times in which they lived. Throughout, we will continually explore larger historical and cultural questions: What is country music? Where did it come from? What is its relationship with other genres of popular music? How did it both reflect and influence American culture in the twentieth century? And like the music itself, Country Music will tell unforgettable stories — stories of the hardship sand joys shared by ordinary people.
Directed by Ken Burns, written by Dayton Duncan, and produced by Ken Burns, Dayton Duncan, and Julie Dunfey.

Meet Your New DSLR
Ooooh, fancy new DSLR you got there!
(Or maybe you're thinking of getting one, this guide is for you too).
There are a lot of knobs and buttons on that thing, and some day you'll get to know them all.
But, for now, day one, we're here to tell you our top tips for getting off of auto-mode (that's what your phone was for!) and getting to know your new best friend.
A Bit About This Guide
Not all DSLRs are alike, but they do sure have a lot in common, so we'll be explaining as generically as we can. If something we say doesn't quite make sense, don't hesitate to consult the almighty Google.
We're going to really hit basics here, so you'll definitely want to dive deeper … someday. These are just our tips to get you going right out of the box.
About Those Setting
Yup, there are lots, but we're going to talk about our two favorites.
We looked at a lot of DSLR dials and straight-up auto is usually green, or it says "auto" or both. Your camera probably has all kinds of automatic settings – portrait, sports, landscape, no flash auto and more – but those modes do all the work for you, so where the fun in that?
M is for manual, with practice and patience you will become a manual master. You will take full control of all your settings, but maybe not today.
Here are our two faves for casual shooting: Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority. These two setting do half the work for you! If you choose to set the aperture, your camera will pick a shutter speed to match and vice versa. You still have creative control, but you get a little help.
Aperture Priority is probably Av or just an A on your camera's settings dial. In that mode you control how wide open (or barely open) the hole in your lens that lets in light is. You pick that, and the camera will set the rest of the settings to match (nice!).
So, how do you choose aperture?
Simply put, the aperture controls how fuzzy your background is (it does a lot of other things, but when you shoot in A, this is the main thing that you are affecting and we're trying to keep this article short(ish)). This fuzz is called bokeh.
So, if you want a bokeh-riffic background, throw your camera into A and remember this: the bigger the Aperture number (which is the number after an f, so like f16 or f22) the more in focus and perfectly crisp everything is! If you choose a smaller number, you'll get more blur on anything that isn't in focus.
Favorite setting #2: Shutter Priority is most likely Tv or just an S on your dial. This setting lets you choose how fast you snap a photo, and automatically picks an aperture to get the expsosure just right (not too bright or dark).
Shutter speeds are listed as a fraction of a second (or whole seconds, if you're getting really creative). So remember, 1/1000 is way faster than 1/2.
Why is the shutter speed important?
It'll affect the motion blur. If you're photographing a super speedy subject, but you want a really clear photo, choose a very fast snap. If you want to see a bit of blur (to make a spinning ballerina look even more dreamy, for example) take a slower photo.
Get into Focus
There is a switch on the side of your lens that says AF and MF. It's not just trying to get hip with the kidz lingo these days. Those just mean Automatic Focus and Manual Focus.
Automatic Focus is very helpful, just push your shutter button down halfway to set the focus (you can move what you want in focus to the center of the frame, push halfway, then move slightly back to the composition you were going for before you finish the click, if your camera needs little help knowing what to focus on).
Manual focus is handy when you want to focus on something very specific and your camera isn't reading your mind. Simply flip to the MF setting on the lens and twist the very front ring on the lens, to adjust the focus.
Swapping Out Your Lens
To take a lens off of your camera and install another, you'll need to push the lens release button.
It's probably just to the right of your lens if you're staring at the front of your camera. Just push and hold it down while you lefty loosey off your lens.
This is a prime opportunity for your camera or lens's guts to get dirty, so move quick and try not to be outside in a sandstorm when you do it. Put a new lens (or cap) on your camera quickly. And don't forget to put a rear lens cap on your lens's rear.
How to Choose a Lens
You may not buy additional lenses right away, but when you want to, you'll want to know what all those numbers on the front mean.
The two main numbers you'll want to focus on are the focal length (that's the number in mm) and the aperture range (sometimes shown as 1:number or range of numbers, sometimes f/number or range).
The smaller the focal length goes, the more of a wide angle shot you can take. The larger the focal length goes the further you can zoom in for close-ups.
The smaller the aperture number goes the bigger the opening in your lens can get and the more light (and consequential blur) it will let in.
Once you get to know the lens or lenses that came with your camera you'll start to get an idea for what you need next, do you like to shoot with a lot of zoom and wish you could zoom even more? Or, are you a bokeh-fiend on the market for more blur.
Trick out Your New Cam
You don't need anything more than a camera to get out and shoot, but we do run a photo gear store, so we should probably let you know what gear you might want, to help you have even more fun with your new clicky buddy.
Keep your cam extra safe with a strap to help you hold on tight. Go classic, rainbow-y or try out a hand strap to give your neck a break (the good kind of break).
While you're snazzing up the look of your cam, why not go with an extra tasty lens cap. Grab a burger or donut Snack Cap.
Tripods are like that extra arm you've always dreamed up. It'll hold your camera while you get into the shot. Or, hold your camera extra still for a long exposure or time lapse. Our favorite is the totally portable Roadtrip Tripod.
Step up our lighting game with an Oh. Wow! Ring Light. It spreads bright even light on everything in front of your lens.
Tote your camera in style with the Vinta Camera Backpack. Add some extra padding and POWER while you're at it. The Super Charged Bag Divider velcros into any camera bag for extra organization, plus is contains a hidden backup battery.
Just for fun
The Bokeh Masters Kit takes your bokspertise to a whole new level. Transform blurry points of light into all sorts of shapes and symbols.
So, Get Out There!

Carpal Tunnel Treatment
If you suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, you may feel as if you're trying to make your way through life with one one (or even both hands) tied behind your back. This painful, often debilitating inflammation of the canal inside the wrist can cause both agonizing discomfort and serious loss of function in the affected hand. The good news is that you don't necessarily need surgery to correct your carpal tunnel syndrome. Here at Lifetime Health and Wellness, any chiropractor on our skilled team can provide natural treatments for your condition.
Many people who suffer from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome don't understand how or why this part of their anatomy is causing so much trouble. The carpal tunnel is a small passageway in the wrist defined by the wrist bones and the transverse carpal ligament. It houses flexor tendons as well as the median nerve, a major nerve that supplies sensation and motor control to the thumb and first three fingers of the hand. When the tissues surrounding the median nerve swell up and put pressure on it, the resulting impingement may cause:
Some people have an unusually narrow carpal tunnel that makes them prone to this syndrome; diabetes, thyroid issues, and pregnancy are also risk factors. But anyone who performs repetitive manual tasks on a constant basis, such as musicians, artists, athletes, and factory workers, may be vulnerable to overuse injuries that inflame the carpal tunnel tissues.
If you're hesitant to submit to major surgery that permanently alters your wrist anatomy, you'll be happy to know that conservative care may resolve your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The chiropractors at our clinic will first perform an evaluation to see whether you're actually suffering from a "lookalike" condition such as cervical radiculopathy or thoracic outlet syndrome. These issues may be related to to a spinal misalignment that requires chiropractic correction.
If a narrow carpal tunnel is part of your problem, adjustments to the wrist bones can help give your median nerve more room, relieving nerve impingement and relieving neurological symptoms. We may also prescribe soft tissue treatments such as massage to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain, while also making ergonomic and lifestyle recommendations to help prevent future overuse-related strain.
Before you go scheduling invasive surgery for that nagging case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, call Lifetime Health and Wellness at 303.423.4610 for a consultation and evaluation. We can help you feel better the natural, non-surgical way!

The StaminaLift TS5000 takes the strain and injury out of patient transfers. Instead of pushing heavy beds up to 20 km per day around hospitals, healthcare staff such as hospital orderlies and wards staff can now manoeuvre beds and patients safely and easily.
With the TS5000 Transfer System you can move:
- A wide range of acute care hospital beds including: Hill-Rom, ArjoHuntleigh, Stryker and Linet
- Most patient stretchers
- Some linen carts and trolleys
- Unmatched compatibility with acute care beds and stretchers
- Easy to use– intuitive, effortless one person operation
- Injury prevention– fingertip controls require minimal muscle activation and an ergonomically correct operation eliminates the muscular strain that is associated with manual bed pushing injuries

"I love your feet
because they have
wandered over the earth
through the wind and water
Until they brought you
to me." - Pablo Neruda
On a crisp morning I arrive at the makeup shop where Tae-hyung and Sun-a have chosen to get ready. She is sitting quietly and drinking her coffee while he is hanging out with his dad. They all welcome me with warm smiles and after introductions I get set up. I started with Tae-hyung and his dad and after a few pictures he stops me and says, "Please focus on Sun-a today, this is her day." These words have stayed with me ever since. It's pretty rare for Korean couples to experience these kinds of wedding day emotions as the culture here surrounding the whole day is very different for "western" countries.
It was a beautiful and happy day for this couple and their families. Tae-hyung was constantly telling me how beautiful Sun-a looks and how lucky he feels. I was very happy to be part this family-affair and especially around a couple with so much adoration for each other. This makes my job so much more meaningful!
Once everyone was done with hair and makeup, we went off to the dress shop to get Sun-a into her beautiful gown, and then it was time to head out to the wedding hall.
I had the luxury of a lot of extra time (very rare in this business) and so we could make some awesome portraits before their guests arrived.
Then it was time for the ceremony:
And finally it was time for the traditional tea-ceremony in honor of the groom's parents:
Tae-hyung and Sun-a, thank you for a wonderful day! I wish you many, many more happy memories in the next years to come!

It's Digi Day at SNR and look at the cute Digi you can get for free!!!! Pop on over and pick it up!. Then there's a special surprise for all who play along and make something with this incredible little Nutcracker.
I colored the Nutcracker with Koh-i-nor pencils and used OMS to blend. The tree is from the Mickey Mouse Cuttlebug Collection. The paper is from K & Company. I made this little envelope type card and then used a small piece of Velcro to hold it closed. On the inside I used red tape around the edges and added glitter.

Girls of CrossgateEdit
Girls in Crossgate fall into two basic categories, free and enslaved. Not all girls are suitable for every job, some might be better at guarding other girls or enticing customers to visit your establishments, while others might prefer pleasuring the customers or tending to the needs of the beasts in your kennels. How effective a girl is at a certain task is determined by her traits and skills as well as their level rating. Most girls have a mind of their own, and wil refuse to do certain jobs or even attempt to escape.
Free GirlsEdit
These are girls that have not been branded as slaves. Such girls joining you will be sent to your current brothel if their rebellion stat is low enough and there is room for her there or to your dungeon if the brothel is full or their rebellion too high.
- Default House cut: 60%
- Acquired from: Walk Around Town, Exploring the Catacombs, Kidnapping
- Jobs: Any.
Free girls in the dungeon can be branded as slaves, which reduces their rebelliousness but also lowers their happiness. If they resist branding they might escape or if they are subdued, they will lose a rather large portion of their health.
These are girls that are branded as slaves. All of their earnings go to you, and any children they have belong to you - females get sent to your dungeon when they are of age, while males and monsters get sold. Any girls you receive in lieu of payment from deadbeat customers or buy from the Slave Market are branded as slaves by default.
Slaves cannot perform certain jobs and are quciker to become unhappy, however their obedience and rebelliousness are significantly lower.
- Default House cut: 100%
- Acquired from: Slave Market, Payment in lieu of Debts, Daughter of an owned slave
- Jobs: Any except Torturer and Matron
Slaves can be freed from the Girls Details screen under Manage Girls. This will give them a significant one time boost to their happiness rating and the house percentage will automatically be adjsuted to the default 60%. Freed slaves can later be branded again.
Stats are the basic attributes of each Girl. These define the way a Girl behaves, how attracitve and effective they are, how good they are in combat, among other things.
For the detailed effects of each stat, see Girl statistics.
Skills show how experienced a girl is in a certain (sexual) act, as well as their combat and magical prowess. The chief difference to traits is that skills imporve with time and experience or through training. A higher skill will improve customer happiness and subsequently earn you more gold when that act is performed.
List of SkillsEdit
- Magic ability
- Combat ability
- Anal sex
- BDSM sex
- Normal sex
- Beastiality sex
- Group sex
- Lesbian sex
- Oral sex
- Titty sex
- Service skill
- Stripping sex
Traits are the unique characteristics of a girl. They can have a positive or negative effect on a girls stats and skills, or they may simply indicate a certain condition or state the girl is in.
For a detailed description, see List of Traits.

Wow, this thread is still going...
Anyway I got free copy of Windows 8 pro, than bought a copy for $39.99. That said, I installed a copy under VM Ware, and after playing with it a bit.... I haven't touched it for about a month and a half now.
I bought a copy of 8 pro and have it set up looking just like Windows 7. I can see no point in Metro Apps except 1, the MAP APP is excellent.
Maybe I'm getting to old, but I have no patience for a tablet based OS on a desktop. Unless Microsoft does something to drastically boost the OS, I see this as an experiment gone bad. I'm not even sure ME (Windows Millennium Edition) flopped this bad but...???
Agree absolutely :)
That said, the future of computing is going the way of the tablet/mobile computing so any OS producer would be crazy not to embrace now. Perhaps this is what Microsoft is trying with Window 8.
At any rate I wouldn't hold my breath that Microsoft is going to abandon the W8 strategy, they may just change the approach with the new OS; that is make it two prong - one for business/desktop users, the other for mobile business and consumer use.
That would be sensible. XP was available in Home and Pro versions. Prior to that the NT versions were for power users and business and the 9X series were for home users and games.
I think with Windows 8, Microsoft tried to force too much of the mobile side on desktop users. Perhaps they could have left it a little more desktop friendly. This forced approach on desktop users is what's killing the OS as we shouldn't be forced to sign up for Microsoft accounts in order to use our desktops. I understand the concept (mobile computing), but we're not there yet.
BTW I do have a Microsoft Live account, but I'm not ready to put all my business in the cloud just yet.
The recent certificate debacle cements this as the cloud is not reliable, look outside some days no clouds.:)
Honestly I don't know where 8 will wind up at, but it sure isn't inspiring many to move like 7, or even Vista did. As I've said many times, this is the first OS I've not jumped on. Even ME made me jump.
You can pry Windows 7 from my cold dead hands.
My two cents.

Linux CENTOS 7 / various Windows OS'es and servers
I see it more as a Ferrari in both cases. But in the upscale model, they've taken away all of the dashboard and console controls and put some of them in the center of steering wheel and the rest are hidden in the ashtray. Then they declared the users should like this much better because it's less cluttered.
Thanks .
All I was trying to say really here is that if people are comfortable with Windows 7 continue to use it - however if one can actually just take a "Time out" there are some good features built in to W8 that for a lot of people merit decent consideration -- and with a relatively small amount of work you can actually make W8 behave as a desktop OS without changing the way you work very much at all -- although the initial set up is a bit fiddly.
On the downside for a lot of people is the GUI etc - but on the plus side you get a much more SECURE OS, better hardware support, decent recovery, built in History file changes so it's easy to restore previous versions of files without having to resort to 3rd party backups etc, a proper backup system THAT WORKS, Native VHD image mounting and booting, virtual ISO support so you don't need things like daemon tools etc any more and generally an optimized kernel which definitely does boot and run slicker than W7 in most cases.
At the enterprise level you also get the very useful "Windows to Go" facility - this creates a bootable complete Windows system on to an external USB stick or Disk which will boot and run from almost any conceivable hardware where you can boot from a USB device -- and it's a COMPLETE Windows system where you can install and run applications just like you are running from the Windows "C" drive == it's BETTER than a "Live CD" since it's a real running system.
For roving consultants this is actually very useful -- for example I can have OFFICE 2010 in English on my Windows to go system even if say the basic installed version of Office in the workplace is say FRENCH and version 2007. The I.T people don't have to support 10 zillion versions of office in 200 different languages for example
Some people will like the new OS, others will hate it --- welcome to planet Earth -- Humans always disagree about things -- and why not.
What I've tried to point out that some of the perceived problems with W8 can be overcome without a humungous load of hassle -- now if you don't want to bother --that's fine and I'm sure an SP2 of W7 will have to appear in due course since W7 isn't going away any time soon --
However Mobile and touch devices will become much more prevalent even in "Classical workplaces" so Ms designing an OS to incorporate these devices doesn't IMO seem a bad idea,
Now a load of people don't like this first iteration -- but wait and see what happens later -- XP was universally condemned when it appeared --now people are STILL baying for Ms's blood because they want to keep using it forever.
Anyway I've said my bit -- I'm not Rubbishing W7 in any way shape or form -- I'm just trying to say that you CAN use W8 in almost the same fashion as you use W7 but it requires a small amount of work to do it.

The Linux program library (in Mint) contains over 60.000 programs. There is something for everybody. I have done video editing, Impress (like PowerPoint) presentations, etc. These programs are just as good as the Windows equivalents. You just have to get used to them.
Even the system oriented programs are similar. E.g. Bleachbit is very similar to CCleaner. Installing and uninstalling programs is even easier than in Windows. So there is very little to complain about - if anything, it is the complex Terminal (command prompt). That takes some time to fathom.
I run my Linux distros in virtual. So backup is simple - I just copy the VMware folder to a backup disk. Right now my host system is still Windows 7. But a Linux host is also supported by VMware Player.

Windows 7/64 HPremium.
If it was the case that Ms just did not want to believe that most of us have rejected Windows 8, that must be glaringly apparent to them by now.
The conclusion is obvious that they are just going ahead with all the usual hype, moving the deckchairs around whilst the iceberg looms ahead unseen, amidst a fog of their own making.
I appreciate that there are is quite a sizeable minority who actually like 8, but I like and use desktops, so do many millions more, and the take-up of 8 (as opposed to the number of licenses issued) proves that I am in the majority.
This can really hurt Ms, and I do not like the thought of that. I learned all that I know with Windows, from 3.1 onwards, and many more Microsoft products. That is true of most computer users on the planet. Anything that might affect the ability of the company to progress beyond this glaring mistake, will result in other companies making inroads into Ms' market share. Once that kind of thing happens, it's a long, long way to fall.

Hard to tell if they know it is coming and that is why there is this urgency to cash in on their captive customers now.
Or, if they are trying to get them tied in to MS online - making it difficult to move elsewhere.
Or both.

Would You Reject A Pre-Built PC Because Of Windows 8
I found an excellent pre-built PC deal. The system uses quality parts and is cheaper than the cost of the separate parts + shipping by $125.00. Plus, I would have to spend time building the PC. The only problem are is it ships with Windows 8 only. Is Windows 8 a deal killer ?

Bacall to Arms (1946)

Starring: Dave Barry, Mel Blanc, Robert C. Bruce, Sara Berner
Continuity mistake: When the newsreel begins at the movie theatre, we see the back garden of a family home and you can see that the screen on the radar has nothing above it, but when we see a close-up of the radar in the next shot, a sign with the word "Radar" has appeared.
Add time
Factual error: When the camera pans to the theatre right after the opening credits, the sign uses the British spelling of "theatre" instead of the American "theater."
