You've gone back and forth a million times on the features of your new prospective Model S. I changed mine at least 5 times before the order confirmed. We will cover the primary ones in this article, and the discourse around each. Each option with a * besides it means it's the optimal configuration for an entry level Model S.
We're going to analyze the options for the Model S in this piece. Model X options are very similar and thought process is often the same.
Battery Size
The big daddy of all decisions is the battery size. This directly effects range, there are other (sometimes unknown) consequences of choosing a specific pack size.
Your options are:
- 60 kWh * – the entry level battery pack, often seen as the base 'economy' Model S pack. This is actually a 75 kWh pack but it's software limited which means it's up-gradable for a price after delivery. Provides 210 / 218 miles of range (RWD / AWD).
- 75 kWh – the next step up, this is the true sweet spot with regards to range. Provides the same 0-60 performance at 5.2 sec as the 60 kWh pack. Provides 249 / 259 miles of range.
- 90 kWh – until recently, the largest battery pack you could order. Stepping up to this pack means an increase in 0-60 performance to 4.2 sec, faster Supercharging, and increased range. Provides 294 miles of range. Only comes in AWD configuration.
- 100 kWh – largest pack and only comes in performance configuration. Comes with "Ludicrous Mode" by default which enables a 2.5 sec 0 – 60 time. Provides 315 miles of range. Only comes in Performance AWD configuration.
Note that size of the battery pack determines performance and supercharging times. The larger the pack, the quicker the range you'll pick up when at one of Tesla's proprietary Supercharger stations. However, if you have home charging, the larger packs will require more electricity to fill thus increasing cost of ownership slightly.
Rear Wheel Drive vs. All-Wheel Drive * (RWD vs. AWD)
The next major option is RWD or AWD. For warm climates without too much precipitation, RWD might be an option. However, I strongly recommend an AWD car if it fits within your budget.
The AWD system can do real time torque vectoring which equates to amazing control even when flying around corners and an increased 0-60 time by approximately .3 sec.
As icing on the cake, the AWD is more efficient which means more range!
Enhanced Autopilt (EAP) *
Price: $5,000 / $6,000 (after delivery)
Enhanced Autopilot is one of the new flagship features announced by Tesla. The hardware to activate it is included in all cars coming out of the factory. However, it's extremely important to note that currently ALL Autopilot features are disabled until Decemeber, 2016.
EAP features will be rolled out in stages starting in 2017.
Activating this feature after purchase is possible but costs an extra $1,000 which is why I recommend purchasing before delivery.
Full Self Driving (FSD)
Price: $3,000 / $4,000 (after delivery)
FSD is not yet available and speculation is that activation will occur in late 2017. This will enable full self driving abilities of the car.
I highly recommend waiting until the features are activated to buy this feature as your car will already have the necessary hardware. It will cost an extra $1,000 to activate, but may be worth it if you lease as you may have limited time to enjoy it.
Premium Upgrades Pacakge (PUP)
Price: $3,000
PUP includes some additional creature comforts as well as functional upgrades. With this you'll get a HEPA air filtration system, LED fog lights, dynamic headlights, alcantara throughout the dash, power liftgate and more.
The shining stars of this package are the HEPA filter and the power liftgate. For $3,000 this package is a bit expensive but definitely worth it if you need those two features. If you don't.
For an entry level Model S, I don't recommend this package.
Smart Air Suspension (SAS)
Price: $2,500
SAS can dynamically raise or lower the suspension of the car. Additionally it uses your GPS to remember your preferences for a set-it-once and forget it type solution. It's highly attractive for those that have difficult or low drive-ways or drive in non-urban environments. While a great option, I don't recommend it for an entry level Model S.
There's currently rumors of a new suspension currently in the works with an 8-year warranty that might be released in the next 6 months.
Also note that this feature comes for free on the P100D car.
Subzero Weather Package
Price: $1,000
The Subzero Weather Package heats some more elements of the car like the steering wheel, backseat, and wipers. This is great for those that live in cold climates, but please note that the base Model S already includes heated front seats.
I do not recommend this option unless you absolutely need it. Also please consider your battery size if you live in cold climates as cold weather dramatically reduces the usable range of your battery.
Ultra High Fidelity Sound (UHFS)
Price: $2,500
The UHFS package adds a subwoofer and additional high quality speakers throughout the cabin. A great choice if you're a music lover, but there's many aftermarket solutions that accomplish a similar goal for less than the $2,500 price tag. You can ask your local showroom to try both systems to compare them.
If you're leasing and love music I highly recommend it. If you're buying I recommend an after-market system.
I do not recommend this package for an entry level Model S.
Next Gen Seats *
Price: $2,500
A huge upgrade from the standard black textile seats, Next Gen Seats are Ricaro leather and form fitted. Currently, these seats are only found in the 60 – 75 configurations with new premium seats being added to the 90D and P100D. There are rumors these new seats are also coming to all configurations within the next few months.
I highly recommend this upgrade for an entry level Model S.
Glass / Pano Roof
Price: $1,500 (Glass) / $2,000 (Pano Roof)
An expensive upgrade, but necessary for large occupants. Adding the glass or pano roof allows for more head room as well as the activation of XM Satellite Radio and roof rack (Pano only).
I do not recommend this package for an entry level Model S.
Post in the comments your configuration and what the upgrades you can't live without to help other users!

ODA listens to our community and this is what deported and returning youth in Mexico are demanding for their futures in Mexico and in the United States.
We often feel "ni de aquí, ni de allá," invisible in both countries, but we are standing up and demanding recognition and rights.
We advocate online and off for the rights of binational, bilingual, and bicultural people in Mexico and the United States. Invite us to your campus, church, or community to share our stories. If we can't come in person, we can schedule a virtual teach-in.
- Repeal the automatic bans and deportation measures legalized in the 1996 immigration law (IIRIRA) with clear provisions for erasing unjust bans, reuniting families, and bringing deported and returned youth home.
- Reform the laws, policies, and budgets that criminalize immigrants from Mexico, Central America, and countries around the globe.
- Establish scholarship programs at key universities in the US that support bilingual, bicultural students in Mexico to return and study in the US, including support for the process to obtain their student visa (with a waiver if needed).
- Target bilingual and bicultural youth ALREADY in Mexico due to deportation or return for study abroad and professional development programs in Mexico.
- Demand transparency and non-discriminatory practices from the US Embassy in Mexico.
We are still Dreamers in Mexico. We recognize that the term "Dreamer" originally refers to the proposed but failed DREAM Act that would have benefited a limited number of immigrant youth in the US. For ODA, the term "Dreamer" connects us to our roots in the US and the struggle for immigrant rights there, while it also reminds us that dreams do not end at the border. We dream of a safer, stronger Mexico. We dream of families re-united. Our dreams are our struggle, and we dream of one day being recognized as binational citizens with the right to education, employment, and well being in the home of our choice.
- Reform the laws, policies, and budgets that criminalize immigrants in Mexico that have resulted in mass deportations of Central Americans, as well as the deaths and disappearances of international and internal migrants.
- Establish scholarship programs at key universities in Mexico that are designed to attract and support returning and deported bilingual students.
- Facilitate entrance exams for public universities (UNAM, Politécnico, etc) in Mexican consulates for Mexican immigrant youth in the US.
- Publish and disseminate information about the NEW guidelines for the revalidation of US high school education and the resulting implications for acceptance into Mexico's public universities.
- Reform the laws and regulations that mandate a 75% equivalency of a university degree for the revalidation of undergraduate and graduate degrees.
- Create awareness and anti-discrimination campaigns about immigrants in Mexico and the US.

The Forensic Challenge Associated in a Cloud Computing Environment
It's no secret that cloud computing is becoming an increasingly popular and prominent presence in our social, professional and technological lives. At home and at work, the convenience and appeal of cloud computing is changing the way many people use, consume and store information.
For trial attorneys who have spent years adapting to the legal and technical challenges of electronic discovery, cloud computing presents a host of new and important differences that impact the way we collect, preserve and analyze electronically stored information (ESI).
Cloud Formation
While not all cloud-based services work the same way, cloud computing is essentially the lease of computing power managed by another party.
The advantages of this setup are clear: users do not have to invest in and maintain expensive computers, servers, routers and other pricey equipment. Instead, they can simply log in and pay to store or access data as needed, leaving the management to an outside party. The structure of this convenience, however, forces the legal field to confront a range of complicated data and evidentiary issues.
Mostly Cloudy
The biggest issue that cloud computing poses is that many of the traditional computer forensic methods are difficult or impossible to use when information is stored on the cloud. Hard drive imaging and the analyses of deleted files are not possible, and computer settings and registry information (such as login dates, passwords and more) are usually inaccessible. Without these tools, gathering ESI and analyzing digital evidence becomes more of a challenge. Challenges include:
Volatile Storage – Cloud environments are moved and reconfigured frequently. This limits the amount of computer settings and cached information that can be preserved, collected and examined.
Geographic Variance – Cloud services can be, and often are, based anywhere. Frequently, they are operated in Europe or Asia, regions with very different computer privacy laws and restrictions on what can and cannot be searched without proper authorizations.
Logical Access – The ability to examine the cloud environment will be limited by the scope of the login ID and password that you are granted. Legal and technical professionals need to be conscientious about ensuring that their login credentials facilitate proper access to all of the potentially relevant information.
Multitenant Structure – Cloud environments typically group several user environments onto one physical piece of equipment or infrastructure configuration. Oftentimes, those users are completely unrelated to each other. This opens up a range of complications, primarily liability concerns.
Stormy Weather – Physical access to the computer is one of the biggest hurdles, but there are also a number of issues that need to be taken into account when analyzing metadata (information about the computer file, not the content of the file itself). One of the most important is the fact that dates do not necessarily reflect the date of user activity, and may instead reflect the movement of files onto the cloud.
Additionally, attorneys and ESI experts need to appreciate the fact that, unlike in traditional computer forensics, they are almost always looking at one section of the entire computing environment. Information that might otherwise be contained within a single computer or file server may be spread among multiple hard drives and servers.
Raincoats & Umbrellas
Understanding the limitations of electronic discovery and digital evidence gathering in a cloud context is an important first step. But what proactive steps can be taken?
First, remember that the examination of the client (the computer used to access the cloud) is still available, and may offer some important clues or evidence. Some popular social websites like Facebook have introduced the ability to download data stored within the user's pages, which can be a treasure trove of information. Also, many popular Web-based email services, like Gmail or Yahoo!, can be accessed and acquired during communication protocols such as IMAP and POP that work outside the cloud.
Long-Range Forecast
Cloud computing is not going anywhere—as more businesses and individuals move to the cloud, it is important that the legal community stays up to date on emerging issues. Those who continue to educate themselves will not only know when to call in the experts, but also will discover that they can direct a ray of figurative sunshine into even the cloudiest corners of virtual space.

Why are so many IT projects failing?
Fifty percent of businesses had an IT project fail during the last year, according to a survey by cloud portfolio management provider Innotas. The primary reason, according to 74 percent of respondents, was a lack of resources to meet project demands.
Where have all the project managers gone? Is the IT industry suffering a shortage of employees with these skills?
Not necessarily, says Dice.com's president, Shravan Goli. Both supply and demand for project managers has remained consistent, with the number of available positions currently available on Dice.com staying at about 3,200, he says.
Growth in project management as a category also remains stable, with a depth and breadth of demand across almost all vertical markets and with positions available in 46 of 50 states across the U.S. Salaries remain well above average — $106,000 per year average compared to an average IT salary of $85,000 for all other tech professionals, Goli says.
Project Managers' New Role
What has changed is the qualitative side, Goli says, as project managers' roles shift, they are expected to take on additional responsibilities above and beyond the fundamental scope of managing each IT project.
"The role has evolved over time, and there are a few trends that may be infringing on the project manager's core job description," Goli says.
"The fundamental, core job description remains management and monitoring of project scope, communication between groups, motivating teams to drive delivery," he says. "But the emergence of the Agile development methodology means that project managers must also take on the role of development lead."
For companies that adopt Agile, many do see an increased need for project managers to drive delivery of an increasing number of software-based technology solutions and applications. But instead of adding staff and resources, firms instead are delegating these roles to their existing project managers, Goli says.
"Project managers aren't just project-based, they're supervisors," says Innotas CEO Kevin Kern. "They are managing solutions and applications, as well as managing the software developers, and there aren't enough developers, ever. So, project managers are being asked to take on so many responsibilities that their job descriptions get blurred," Kern says.
IT Is Not the Problem
The shortage of resources could be one reason why many projects fail, says Kern, but there's also a pervasive mindset that IT is the problem, not the solution.
As organizations move to a more application-centric focus, the number of IT projects increases, and IT departments have trouble saying "no," Kern says, because of the risk of being seen not as a valuable business partner, but as an expensive cost center.
"We've moved away from an era of hardware and operating systems and it's all about applications. Nobody on the business side cares how solutions are delivered, they care about the value of the application," Kern says.

DEXA (Bone Densitometry)
What is DEXA?
To accurately detect osteoporosis, doctors commonly use DEXA (which stands for the imposing term Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) bone densitometry to measure bone mineral density (BMD). DEXA is a quick, painless procedure for measuring bone calcium loss. Measurement of the lower spine and hips are performed.
What are some common uses of this procedure?
DEXA bone densitometry is most often used to diagnose osteoporosis, a condition that often affects women after menopause but may also be found in men. Osteoporosis involves a gradual loss of calcium, causing the bones to become thinner, more fragile and more likely to break.
DEXA is also effective in tracking the effects of treatment for osteoporosis and other conditions that cause bone loss.
The DEXA test can also assess an individual's risk for developing fractures.
Bone Densitometry testing is strongly recommended if you:
- Are a post-menopausal woman and not taking estrogen.
- Have a personal or maternal history of hip fracture or smoking.
- Are a post-menopausal woman who is tall (over 5 feet 7 inches) or thin (less than 125 pounds).
- Are a man with clinical conditions associated with bone loss.
- Use medications that are known to cause bone loss, including corticosteroids such as Prednisone, various anti-seizure medications such as Dilantin and certain barbiturates, or high-dose thyroid replacement drugs.
- Have type 1 diabetes (formerly called juvenile or insulin-dependent), liver disease, kidney disease or a family history of osteoporosis.
- Have high bone turnover, which shows up in the form of excessive collagen in urine samples.
- Have a thyroid condition, such as hyperthyroidism.
- Have a parathyroid condition, such as hyperparathyroidism.
- Have experienced a fracture after only mild trauma.
- Have had x-ray evidence of vertebral fracture or other signs of osteoporosis.
The Lateral Vertebral Assessment (LVA), a low-dose x-ray examination of the spine to screen for vertebral fractures that is performed on the DEXA machine, may be recommended for older patients, especially if:
- They have lost more than an inch of height.
- Have unexplained back pain.
- If a DEXA scan gives borderline readings.
How should I prepare for this procedure?
- Refrain from taking calcium supplements for at least 24 hours beforehand.
- Wear comfortable clothing and avoid garments that have zippers, belts or buttons made of metal.
- Let your technologist know if you've recently had a barium examination or have been injected with a contrast material for a CT or radioisotope scan.
- Let your technologist know if there is a possibility you are pregnant.
What can I expect during this exam?
Depending on the equipment used and the parts of the body being examined, the test takes between 10 and 30 minutes.
- You may be asked to undress and put on a gown.
- You'll lie on a padded table with an x-ray tube below and a detector (an imaging device) above. It is important that you remain as still as possible during the procedure to ensure a clear and useful image.
- Bone loss in the spine and hip are where most osteoporosis-related fractures happen:
- During an examination of the spine, your legs will be supported on a padded box to flatten your pelvis and lower (lumbar) spine.
- During examination of the hip, the technologist will place your foot in a brace that rotates the hip inward.
- The detector is scanned over the area, generating images on a computer monitor.

As the first season of "Orange Is the New Black" proved, inmates can sneak pretty much anything they want into prison.
Before Pornstache screwed everything up, Red could get a whole variety of items smuggled in through the prison kitchen for her fellow ladies. Need some drugs? You better be on good terms with Red.
When it comes down to that one very important item you need to help you get by in prison, Yael Stone, who plays Morello on the Netflix series, knows exactly what she'd sneak past the prison guards. "A vibrator!" Stone said at the Point Foundation Honors in New York City Monday night (April 7). Some women are fine with a screwdriver, while others just need more.
Stone and her "Orange" co-star Uzo Aduba, better known as "Crazy Eyes," made an appearance on the red carpet Monday night for the annual gala, which recognizes leaders of the LGBT community. The two were super secretive about the upcoming second season of "OITNB," but teased that there will be many shocking moments.
"I gasped more," Stone said about what will happen in Season 2, and we're not surprised since last season left fans with a major cliffhanger. "Definitely," Aduba added. "There are big gasp-able moments, you're like 'What the -- whatever expletive you want to put there.'"
The cast is definitely keeping their mouths shut about Season 2, but that's only getting us more excited.
The full second season of "Orange Is the New Black" premieres on Netflix on June 6.

City ready to demolish Reese; will spare, at least for now, one Gropius building
From tomorrow's print edition; see commentary below.
By Todd Lighty
Tribune reporter
As crews prepare to demolish buildings at the sprawling Michael Reese Hospital campus, city officials on Wednesday bowed ever so slightly to preservationists and announced that one potentially historic building would be spared from the wrecking ball.
The city all along has said it would not tear down the former hospital's main building but now it has decided to save—at least for now—a building co-designed by modernist architect Walter Gropius.
Preservationists remain disappointed and said the city at the minimum should let the seven other Gropius buildings stand.
Jonathan Fine, executive director of Preservation Chicago, said the city's decision to spare the Singer Pavilion (above, in photo from the Gropius in Chicago Coalition) and not the others was disappointing and made no sense.
"It's like destroying a fine set of China and keeping a tea cup," Fine said. "I think what's truly ridiculous about this entire scheme is the belief that this land has more value without those buildings on it."
The city in June bought the hospital property from Medline Inc. with plans of transforming it into an Olympic Village if the city were selected host of the 2016 Summer Games. Chicago lost to Rio de Janeiro and now must find companies willing to develop the property into a mix of housing and retail development.
Demolition of the more than two dozen buildings could begin as soon as Thursday and could take months to complete.
City official believe that the campus' main building and its Singer Pavilion—the hospital's first patient building, which was completed in 1950—have the best future for reuse.
Ultimately, however, City Hall acknowledges that the final decision of whether Singer Pavilion is torn down rests with the company chosen to develop the property. The city plans to gauge developer interest in the project by mid-2010.
POSTSCRIPT: For more about the Singer Pavilion, click this link to the Gropius in Chicago Coalition's Web site. An interactive map on the site shows the location of the Singer Pavilion and its three-legged shape. The notion of saving just one Gropius-associated building at Reese was floated in one of the alternative plans for the site floated in August by Chicago architects DeStefano Partners. As I wrote in my first assessment of the plan, it's better than nothing, but still a bad idea--clearly a bone thrown to preservationists. The essence of the Reese complex is its identity as a modernist ensemble. The city's demolition plan will destroy that. A giant Bronx cheer for Mayor Richard M. Daley!

Report: FDA panel backs Amgen's Humira biosimilar
PhRMA names Stansel EVP, general counsel
WASHINGTON — The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America on Tuesday announced that James Stansel would be joining the organization as EVP and general counsel, effective Aug. 1. Stansel will oversee the organization's legal department.
Stansel has previously served as acting general counsel for the Dept. of Health and Human Services, working as the chief legal officer for it, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Health Resources and Services Administration and the National Institutes of Health. He was also the deputy general counsel and counselor to the secretary during his time at HHS.
"With his deep legal expertise in complex health policy and regulatory issues, I am pleased to welcome Jim to the helm of our legal team," PhRMA president and CEO Stephen Ubl said. "As our members push forward into new and exciting areas of research and development, Jim's experience working with industry and government will enable him to provide valuable counsel and guidance to our industry."
Stansel joins PhRMA from Sidney Austin LLP, where he is where he is co-head of the global life sciences team and partner in the health care, government strategies and food and drug groups. He has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America since 2011 for biotechnology and health care law, and is a member of Law360.
"The biopharmaceutical industry's focus on saving, improving and sustaining lives through new treatments and cures is the backbone of today's health care system," Stansel said. "I am excited to join PhRMA and its impressive legal team to support the industry as it continues to lead in and redefine innovation."
IMS Health: Adherence, persistence issues keep diabetes costs high
PARSIPPANY, N.J. — The IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics on Tuesday released a series of reports on type 2 diabetes and the effects of low persistence and adherence on health system. "Improving Type 2 Diabetes Therapy Adherence and Persistence" looked at five health systems, including the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil and Saudi Arabia.
In the U.S., the report noted that type 2 diabetes cost the healthcare system about $176 billion, with 61% of the cost coming from diabetes-related complications. Of those patients with type 2 diabetes, about 59% are older than 65 years of age, with a majority of them enrolled in Medicare. Among Medicare patients with diabetes, about 46% of them were sub-otpimally adherent, based on an analysis of 2014 patient records. Given these numbers, the IMS Institute estimates that complications from type 2 diabetes will cost about $100 billion annually in the United States, and $4 billion annually will attributable to the medicare population with diabetes.
"The rising prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes and its associated complications is the root of considerable strain on society and an economic burden on healthcare systems," Murray Aitken, IMS Health SVP and executive director of the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics, said.
The IMS Institute notes that one of the biggest challenges is activating patients — helping them understand their role in the care process and getting them to take a more active stance when it comes to managing their disease. Activation can improve adherence and reduce healthcare costs as a result of increased adherence. But patient activation requires collaboration and solutions that can get patients activated and adherent.
"Simple, customized interventions that put patients on the path to optimal adherence and persistence can yield tangible results, but require alignment between healthcare and government leaders, as well as the active involvement of voluntary associations and the private sector," Aitken said.
Among the recommendations the report makes for the U.S. are using predictive analytics to identify patients who might be sub-optimally adherent, offering educational content aimed at activating patients, incorporating healthcare plan counseling as part of medical appointments and using technology and digital offerings to maintain activation.
"The economic and societal burden of low [type 2 diabetes] therapy adherence and persistence to the U.S. Medicare system is high and rising," the report says. "With nearly 12 million Medicare [persons with diabetes] in the U.S. today, estimated to grow to 17.2 million by 2025, it is imperative that structured action is taken to improve [type 2 diabetes] therapy adherence and persistence on a war footing."

About The Black Heart of the Station by Jay Allan Storey
Sixteen-year-old Josh Driscoll lives in the Station, a city constructed one kilometer beneath the surface of a frozen, lifeless earth. Forced to enroll as a novice monk at the Station's resident monastery as punishment for stealing a space suit and traveling to the surface, Josh is gradually drawn into ancient texts which hint at the city's origins, now lost in the mists of time.
Josh comes to believe that the Black Heart, a computer complex buried in a sector critically damaged by a massive asteroid strike centuries ago, holds the key to the mystery, and is vital to their future survival.
When the Station's governing Council, of which his own father is a member, announces plans to reconstruct the sector and demolish the Black Heart, Josh forms a movement and leads a desperate battle to stop the demolition.
But can his tiny army of followers thwart the all-powerful Council in time to avert catastrophe?

Digital Binoculars
Digital Binoculars
How to Choose Digital Binoculars
Many people find buying digital binoculars confusing. It is important to be familiar with numbers like 6x30 when you go out to make a purchase. You are going to have to keep in mind any special features or any of the specialized types like compact binoculars or marine binoculars. If you keep in mind what you are planning to use the binoculars for everything will fall into place fairly easily, so this is something you will want to think about before you start looking.
By far the two biggest things that you want to consider when you are buying digital bincoculars are the magnification and the lens diameter. These are clearly labeled on all binoculars you will see a number like 6x30 or something similar. Magnification is determined by the first number and that is just how much closer an object will appear. Lens diameter will be the second number and it is shown in millimeters. The bigger the lens the larger your field of view will be. Unfortunately it's not simply about buying the binoculars with biggest numbers, that would be way too simple. It is difficult to pick up moving objects if you have a lot of magnification, so that may be a problem for a lot of uses. You will get a great field of view if you have a big lens diameter but it comes at the price of very large and heavy binoculars, not a great idea in a lot of situations.
The brightness of a pair of binoculars is determined by the size of the exit pupil and this is another important thing that will need to be considered. If you divide the lens diameter by the magnification you will determine the size of the exit pupil. The larger the exit pupil is the more light will make it to your eye. This is something you want if you are using your binoculars when it is dark but it can be a problem if you use them when the sun is shining. For use at night you are going to need an exit pupil of at least 7 mm. However if you plan to use them in bright daylight 3 mm is probably ideal, 5 mm is a good compromise for a wide variety of uses.
There are a few other factors that you are going to have to keep in mind but these are for the most part just down to what you feel comfortable with. Some people consider things like the prism or how the binoculars are focused are major issues while other people could care less. You will want to think about any of the specialized types of digital bincoculars that may need like compact binoculars or night binoculars. Keeping how you want to use the binoculars in mind should help to make sure that you make the best choice for your needs.

Do you believe in Santa or is it Saint Nicholas?
Do you believe in Santa or is it Saint Nicholas? Lets talk about Santa:) It all started with a Saint back in the 4th century named, Nikolaos (Nicholas). He was a bishop in Asia Minor and was known for his charity. He wore a long robe and carried a staff. The legend goes, he came to know this poor man that had three daughters. The daughters were very intelligent and pretty but had no money. They did not have enough money to put up a dowry to marry. For three nights in December, Nicholas passed by the family's house...Read More

|Why am I covering 1/2 of my face? Read on to find out. :p
I like transforming myself. Making myself look good makes me feel good so I always turn to makeup whenever I'm stressed, which happens almost everyday. But aside from school, church and occasional trips to the mall, there is really not that much occasion for me to wear them. I'm such a loser, I know. :))
That did not stop me from playing with makeup though. I always take pictures after every makeup play session - some of them I upload when I feel brave enough to show it - but I save a lot of them in a folder on my phone. Seeing them from time to time makes me feel accomplished on how much I have learned.
Makeup is a never-ending learning experience, just like medicine. In this makeup play I experimented on 2 different eye makeup looks so that I can wash my face off in one go instead of doing it twice. However I only managed to get 1 right, as I still suck in lining my eyes with liquid eyeliner. Precision is really my worst trait when it comes to makeup. Hahaha.
|My (One Half) FOTD. :p
I did this look because I really wanted to wear a red lipstick that I bought almost 2 months ago, but I haven't found an opportunity to wear it. And I'm still shy wearing a red lipstick to school - when you see my classmates, you will know why: 90-99% of them go to school looking bare faced! A lot of them don't really need makeup, for they have clear, even toned skin. Lucky, lucky them.
I think I'll wear this look to an event I'm attending this weekend. Maybe. Let's pray that I'll get that winged eye right, on BOTH EYES. :))
|Left to Right: ELF Flawless Eyeshadow in Beautiful Browns (around 200 PHP) and Sephora Eyeshadow in Sweet Candy.
I used all the shades in the ELF Palette except for the "Lid" shade. :)
- Prime your skin with a face primer. You can skip this if you don't have oily skin.
- Use foundation of your choice. I always prefer semi-matte over powdery matte finishes because I still want to look 3 dimensional. For this one I used a cream type of foundation, which I thinly dotted all over my face. To spread out the pigment I used a stippling brush and did the stippling technique first. Then, I swirled the stippling brush in small circles all over my face to buff the product into the skin.
- Set with a setting powder.
- Contour jaw line and hollows of cheeks, sides of nose bridge. With an angled blush brush, use a contouring powder/taupe colored powder/bronzer to shade the jawline and the hollows of the cheeks, while use an eyeshadow blending brush to shade the sides of nose bridge.
- Blush cheeks with a peach blush. Brush above where you have placed the contour shade.
*For easy reference, let's divide the eye first into three: The inner 1/3 is the section closest to the nose bridge, the middle 1/3 is the section opposite the pupil with the sides of the pupil as its boundaries, and then the outer 1/3.
- Prime eyelids with eyeshadow primer.
- Pat the cream shade on the inner 1/3 of the lid.
- Pat the pink shade on the middle 1/3 of the lid. Overlap the 2 shades a bit.
- Pat the copper shade on the outer 1/3 of the lid.Overlap this with the pink shade a bit.
- Using an eyeshadow brush, blend the areas where the colors meet. So brush between cream and pink, and between copper and pink. DO NOT blend all three colors in one brush stroke.
- With a blending brush, swipe the cool brown shade on the crease, following the contours of your orbital bone.
- With a pencil brush/eyeshadow applicator, line the cream shade under the inner 1/3 of the lower lashline.
- Line the cool pink shade under the middle 1/3 lower lashline.
- Line the copper shade under the outer 1/3 of the lower lashline.
- Pat a dot of the cream shade on the inner corners of the eye. Use a blending brush for a soft/ diffuse placement of the shade.
- Use a brown eyeliner at the roots of the lashes, extending the line at the outer corners.
- Make a thin line from the outer corner of the eye to the middle part of the pupil (so you'll draw the line inwards). This does not need to be perfect.
- Smudge the line using a smudge brush/eyeshadow applicator.
- Make a thin line on the outer 1/3 of the lower lashline. Smudge the line.
- Make a thin line on the upper lid with a liquid eyeliner, making a slight wing at the end.
- Curl the upper lashes. Put mascara on the upper and lower lashes.
- For the lips, well...swipe on your red lipstick!
- To make red lipstick last, what I did was I first used a red lip tint.
- Then I put on the red lipstick, blot with a tissue, and swipe another layer once more.
- Then I put 1 thin sheet of tissue paper over my lip then brush translucent powder on the covered lip.
Whew! And we're done! Hahaha. Seriously this look is easier to do than to describe. I think this will be nice to wear for events and gatherings, and the neutral eye colors used makes this look wearable during daytime!
Maybe I should just use an eye pencil instead of liquid liner for this weekend, no? Anyway, try it sometime. ;)
Stay girly!

DFA Leadership Studio
DFA is all about creating projects that build solutions for problems throughout America. Project teams work throughout the year on a cause that they decide on together, on something that's meaningful to each project team member. Although that's wonderful, there's not much opportunity to connect with studios around the country.
That's the hole that DFA Leadership studio filled. All 29 studios came together to learn from each other, to understand their methods for both creating amazing projects, and building a strong, connected studio.
This year, Leadership Studio focused on the needs of people with Down Syndrome. Within the timespan of one short weekend, teams followed the 6 steps of the DFA Process to conceptualize ideas and build prototypes. Our secondary research had been conducted off-site before we arrived, so we were able to move right along to interviewing and primary research. Meeting with people whose lives had been changed by Down Syndrome, along with the people that taught, aided, and cared for them was incredibly eye-opening, and gave us many pain points to begin to ideate. The time constraint made ideation brutally fast-paced, but thinking on our feet made us really hone down on ideas that were simple to implement but had lifechanging consequences.
Once we narrowed down ideas, we built simple paper prototypes, and returned to test them. This was one area we all wished we had more time for, and in that moment, we realized how important the iterative process is in design.
At the end of the weekend, we had an expo for each team to showcase their ideas. The people that we had interviewed were honored guests, and it was incredibly rewarding to see their reactions to our prototypes.
Interspersed throughout our design activities, we focused on team building and collaborating with the other studios. We learned about new recruitment tools—like Cornell's studio leaving Legos around campus like DFA calling cards, and Oregon's game of NACHOS to warm up. We planned the future of MIT's Studio: where we see ourselves in five years, and what we're going to do this upcoming year to reach that goal. We met the faculty founder of Design for America (Northwestern),Dr. Liz Gerber. We met DFA Alumni, learned about their careers and how DFA had influenced their lives. We met Jerry the Bear, a DFA project-gone-startup, and Sproutel co-founder, Hannah Chung.
DFA Leadership Studio was an amazing experience that reminded us all why we joined Design for America in the first place: to connect with talented, service minded individuals to make the world a better place together!

This season has been an absolute nightmare for the Astros, their fans and Lucas Harrell. After such a great rookie season last year, it appears as if Harrell believes he is owed something, like he is the greatest pitcher to wear an Astros uniform. When things don't go his way (which is almost EVERY outing) he just puts on this pitiful crybaby act that we, as fans, are just sick of. He blames shifts, he blames the coaches, he blames errors, he blames the freaking weather, but never his ability. Which is odd because it appears that he currently has none at the MLB level anymore.
Last year he won 11 games and had a sub 4.00 ERA which, all things considered, was a great rookie season. Everybody around here was pumped at the beginning of the season to have a solid 1-2 punch of Bud Norris and Lucas Harrell at the top of the rotation. Well, Harrell apparently wants none of it. This guy really simply just does not want to be here anymore. It would be music to my ears to see this load of crap designated for assignment tonight after his one inning and FIVE earned runs performance. It's like we are beating a dead horse when he walks to the mound and you almost know how this story ends. He has struggled to throw strikes all year. walking 77 with only 76 strikeouts over 133 innings of work. Need any more reason to get rid of him? Well, just for kicks, I'll give you another one. He's 28 years old, so it's not like hes a young guy. I believe he hit his ceiling last year as a 27 year old rookie. There's a reason the White Sox let him go, and there's a reason why he was a rookie at age 27.
Time to take all the terrible posters of Lucas Harrell that are plastered all over Houston down. Sorry Lucas, but you cant blame 3 walks and a three run homerun on infield shifts. Time to go. Hope to see you never.

Lots going on at the Serpentine, including a new CEO Yana Peel who has replaced Julia Peyton-Jones to work with artistic director Hans Ulrich Obrist. This week they announced a series of upcoming exhibitions including one showing Zaha Hadid's notebooks and another showing Grayson Perry's work.
Currently though you are in for a treat, with a really exciting exhibition by Helen Marten in the Serpentine Sackler Gallery (pic right). Marten, who studied at The Ruskin School, University of Oxford and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, is just 31 and has just been nominated for a Turner Prize and the forthcoming Hepworth Sculpture Prize. Her work takes you on a journey around the gallery, and there are common markers, musical notes and footprints and messages to guide you. The exhibition's title, Drunk Brown House, indicates that her art, created for the building, will guide you into different zones. Everything is made by Marten, she has created life like lemons, eggs in nests, using all sorts of craftwork and craftspeople and she says there is a lot of technology involved. As you walk into the Serpentine Sackler maybe the most stunning piece is hanging on the wall facing you, a sort of 3-D map of the exhibition. "I found this space incredibly difficult, with it's marginal corridor and two containing rooms," says Marten, who has articulated this by using a hand holding a knife, which throws a line of white metal skidding around the walls to guide you round. She says the line means there is: "No hierarchy to the beginning and the end of the show." If you listen to Marten talk, she uses incredibly rare and beautiful words as if they were everyday. The title of the show itself is linguistically important, and you could interpret it as "On the piss and also incredibly banal," she says. "It's a way of clarifying everyday things." Really a must-see and this Saturday, 1st October, exhibition curator Amira Gad will give a talk about Helen Marten's exhibition at 3pm at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery. If you can it will be well worth going to, there is so much going on in Marten's work.
Up the hill at the Serpentine Gallery is an exhibition of work, An Autumn Lexicon, by Marc Camille Chaimowicz (pic top). He has influenced a whole host of young artists by exploring the space between public and private, design and art. This also is a great show. Lucky you.
Serpentine Galleries, 29th September – 20th November, Tuesday – Sunday, 10am – 6pm.
Also, leading figures from the worlds of art, literature, science and business will come together at the Serpentine next week to explore the sacred, ritual, repetition and magical thinking in the Miracle Marathon on Sunday, 9th October, 12pm – midnight. Participants include artists Christo, Adrián Villar Rojas and Tomás Saraceno; writers Marie NDiaye, Edna O'Brien, Ben Okri, Andrew O'Hagan and Adam Thirlwell; thinkers and theorists Timothy Morton, Jacqueline Rose and Eyal Weizman; architect Mark Cousins; mathematician Marcus du Sautoy; poets Bhanu Kapil and Ruth Padel; film-maker and theorist Manthia Diawara; cultural theorist Norman M. Klein; physicist Carlo Rovelli and scientist Riccardo Sabatini. There will also be performances and presentations from Sophia Al-Maria, Es Devlin, Gilbert & George and Genesis P-Orridge among many others. serpentinegalleries

One of the most famous and most beautiful actresses in Hollywood is Cameron Diaz. She surely deserves a spot on that list because of her radiant and energetic beauty. But is all of that beauty God-given, or is some (or majority) of it because of a plastic surgeon? In this article, let's find out if there's any truth to Cameron Diaz plastic surgery rumors.
Cameron Diaz is an American actress, producer, and former model. She gained worldwide attention with her earlier movies such as The Mask, My Best Friend's Wedding, and There's Something About Mary. You may also recognize her from popular movies such as Charlie's Angels, In Her Shoes, The Holiday, What Happens in Vegas, My Sister's Keeper, Knight and Day, Bad Teacher, The Other Woman, and much more high-profile movies.
Thus, it's no secret that almost everybody knows who Cameron Diaz is and what she's famous for. She can perform in almost any genre like comedy, action, and drama, and she has proved that with the many movies mentioned above. Due to this, she has received four Golden Globe nominations so far. Today, she is 44 years old and one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood.
No wonder Cameron Diaz can afford plastic surgery, she is so rich! But what plastic surgery procedures did the actress really get? And which ones were just pure rumors? Let's find out.
Cameron Diaz Nose Job/Rhinoplasty
If you look at her before and after pictures, Cameron Diaz's nose has definitely changed shape. It's pretty obvious since the change is prominent. Before, Cameron Diaz's nose lacked shape and detail. After the alleged nose job, she had a sharper nose bridge that made her look more elegant and beautiful.
If you look at her much younger photos, you can definitely tell the difference. Even though Cameron Diaz was still delightfully beautiful in her youth with that nose, she may have been pressured to get the perfect, pointy Hollywood nose that almost all actresses have.
Today, she is the proud owner of a pointy, detailed nose. Well, we're definitely not complaining, but she could have made a not so drastic change since the plastic surgery is pretty obvious.
Cameron Diaz Facelift
It seems that Cameron Diaz is one of those women who show signs of aging early on in their lives. Cameron Diaz is only 44 years old, but she already has lots of fine lines, particularly around her eyes and cheeks. However, her career is not yet over so a facelift was due to come sooner or later.
A facelift is a plastic surgery procedure used to tighten and smoothen out wrinkles, giving the person a more youthful look. Cameron Diaz's have been making an on and off appearance ever since she hit 40. So, we're already smelling facelifts or Botox injections here.
Botox injections could have made her forehead and other problem areas smooth and wrinkle-free for some time. However, she is aging much faster than we have expected. A facelift is a much more drastic procedure albeit a more permanent one. Thus, she could have gotten this procedure done in order to get a much younger look for her movies.
After all, she can't be showing too much wrinkles and fine lines if she wants more roles, can she?
Cameron Diaz Boob Job
A breast augmentation surgery is a plastic surgery procedure that redefines the shape or size of the breasts. It's very popular among women in this day and age since boobs play a big role in a woman's image and appeal.
Cameron Diaz was naturally flat-chested. But even though she had super small breasts, she made this look work. However, pictures have surfaced online before that show her in a bikini with a much bigger top size.
We definitely sense that she got breast implants at some point in her career. After all, a flat chest can only work for so long and she may have wanted a more reasonably sized rack.
It's a good thing that Cameron Diaz chose breast implants that were of reasonable size. They increased her breasts at least one cup size or so, but they are still proportionate to her body.
Cameron Diaz plastic surgery is another proof that not all stars are natural-looking. However, she is still one of the most beautiful despite this.

We run PODAS workshops around the world and just recently we completed a workshop in Southwest China. There were a total of 20 people on this workshop. We visited a number of different places. The weather wasn't as cooperative as we wanted so we switched gears somewhat and still returned with nice images. the shot above is the group we photo for the Chinese PODAS and the images below will give you some candid shots and images of what we shot.
Tag Archives: Chinese PODAS
More From Bali
Finally internet that works. I have been stranded on Bali a few days as there were no flights to Hong Kong as it had got hit with a typhoon. I made it to Hong Kong last night and will leave for home tomorrow. So today I am posting the first batch of images from the workshop and I'll post some more on Tuesday once I am home. Bali is a beautiful Island with some of the friendliest and most gracious people you'd ever hope to meet. We had a great group and a great time shooting our way around the island and many great locations. The shot above was made at Jatiluwih a small village with amazing terraced rice fields. The images below are some candid shots made during the trip. More on Tuesday.
More Bali Wonders
We have been going non-stop at the Chinese PODAS workshop in Bali. We have had a great team, guides, drivers and especially attendees. Like all PODAS workshops the agenda was packed and we covered a lot of ground. Bali is a beautiful island with many rich photographic sites to shoot. This image was made at Tanah Lot a coastal area where a temple was built by the sea. It draws thousands of folks so shooting was rather tough. Anyway here is the shot at sunset. I have a lot of candid shots and more scenics to share when I get home to a faster internet. The upload part of the internet here is below 1 ups so it is very hard to upload and even download. Stop back next week to see the workshop in Action.
PODAS Death Valley A Success
It was a sad farewell on Saturday as we dropped of the Chinese attendees from the PODAS in Death Valley to airports and hotels in Las Vegas. Not quite sure at the beginning of the week how things would go, we quickly saw that as long as we share the same passion, language and other differences can't stand in the way. The workshops was an exceptional experience not nonly from the terms of photography but also new friendships bonded. As in all PODAS workshop we aim to give great education, but we also work hard to make sure we have fun doing it. There were lots of laughs, new phrases, shouts and cheers as we all became closer and had fun shooting some great images. We started the last day on top of Dantes Peak shooting the whole Death Valley from the highest vantage point at dawn. After a great breakfast we had a program led by Kevin and Jeff on Now That You Got The Shot What Do You Do With It. This was followed be several hours of free time to work on images. Everyone contributes to the final night slide show with 5- 10 images. After lunch we tried our hands at shooting people and this was fun. Locations were the resort gardens as well as the pool. It was fun to see the Chinese try to direct english speaking only models. Good shots were made though. After dinner we had our PODAS closing ceremonies involving toast to our new friendships and finally a fun slide show recapping our week together.
A Full Day Of PODAS
Ask anyone who has been on a PODAS and they will tell you don't expect to sleep much because you will be busy. Today we left at 5AM for sunrise at Badwater. Cool place to shoot as the sun comes up. After a great breakfast Kevin Raber presented the intro to Capture One with Fai Chan's help as the translator. We had the chance to see how by using Capture One you could turn a plain image into a dramatic shot. We had a great lunch and then were treated to a program by Jeff Schewee. Jeff is a brilliant presenter and filled everyone's heads with new techniques and ideas. It wasn't too long and we were back in the vans to shoot sunset at Artist Palette. This place just lights up during a sunset. Then we had a barb b q chicken and ribs dinner for a taste of true america. The Chinese attendees loved it and are having a great time.
First Ever Chinese PODAS Begins
Today we are coming to you from Death Valley. Yesterday a contingent of Chinese photographers arrived in the USA for a PODAS workshop adventure in Death Valley. I was not sure how this would work but I can say without question that we are off to a fantastic start. Today we left the hotel at 5:00 AM for a sunrise shoot at Zabriskie Poi. Images were excellent and everyone braved the morning cold to shoot some great images. Sunrise and sunset in Death Valley is always something special. After a hearty American breakfast we boarded two special four wheel drive vehicles and headed to the Race Track a remote part of Death Valley that not too many people visit. This mazing place has moving rocks. See the images below and you can see these rocks move and leave tracks where they have moved from. All a big mystery but as you can see provided us with a lot of great images. After we exhausted the image possibilities there we headed to do our ceremonial placing of the tea pot at Tea Kettle Junction. We also did our group shot here and we will publish the group shot on Thursday. From there we made two more stops before photographing a magnificent sunset where the sun hit the mountains as a nearly full moon rose behind. Oh what a day!!! After arriving back at the resort we all enjoyed a great dinner together filled with toasts and lots of laughs. Not even differences in languages can hamper things when everyone has a passion for photography. It was just simply a great day!!!!!
PODAS Death Valley for Chinese About To Kick Off
We are in Death Valley now preparing and setting up for a PODAS workshop with visiting photographers from China. This will be our first language specify workshop we have held. While it will have some challenges as far as difference in Languages we are ready. We begin Monday afternoon and will continue all week long returning the attendees to Las Vegas airport on Saturday morning. So, stay tuned and watch as we have fun shooting in Death Valley.
