Are You Ready to Succeed at the Level You Want to!
Artists, when you know your art is good, but you can't get the sales you want, don't you wish you knew step-by-step how all those other successful artists do it?
Nothing is more discouraging than knowing something is possible, but you don't know how to puzzle the pieces together.
Especially when you compare what you do with the "successful artists" and you know your art is right up there. So you research, take action, put strategies together.
Still, your sales lag behind your expectations. Then you begin to second-guess yourself. Maybe your art isn't as good as you thought. Maybe there really is a secret you haven't uncovered. A silver bullet you haven't discovered.
Meanwhile, you are losing time, and money, and worst of all—the core confidence you need to keep going—all because you don't know where (or what) the missing piece is.
Even one missing piece can derail your creative energy, make you feel stuck while you waste precious hours and days looking for "it" (when you could be making art), even when you aren't sure what "it" is.
What if there was one place where you could find those missing pieces?
Introducing "Your Collector Lifeline: How to Use Confidence, Connection, and Communication so They Buy Your Art"
The annual, smARTist Telesummit 2012 "Home Study Edition"
Master Level Material From the ONLY Professional Development Conference
for Visual Artists!
Your Collector Lifeline: How to Use Confidence, Connection, and Communication so They Buy Your Art gives you the missing pieces.
This program is based on the 7-day, live Telesummit we held in January, where 13 Art Career Authorities and Successful Artists gave 14 presentations focused on selling your art with confidence to the collectors and buyers who are right for your work.
And most important, it helps you expand your art career without confusion, losing precious time, or over-investing.
Confusion leads to low confidence, and chaos over organization…
When you want to make art and need to make a living, confusion slows you down, waaaay down. Your Collector Lifeline: How to Use Confidence, Connection, and Communication so They Buy Your Art organizes a year's worth of art career information into bite-sized sections, each with its own clear purpose. It's not a hodgepodge of disorganized pieces.
Instead it lines up the pieces you need to get more sales by understanding and applying proven strategies.
It shows you which art-career pieces to pay attention to—like how are artists and galleries making money right now, how do you increase confidence and connection strategies with buyers and collectors so you get more sales. This program gives you a series of marketing and communication action steps, from successful artists and the experts who know the art world, while it keeps you from spending way too much time, effort and money on a "spinning approach."
So what is a "spinning approach?"
Ask someone what's the most successful way to approach a potential collector, to create the right follow-up, or try a new marketing approach, and they'll give you an opinion. And this opinion will vary from person to person. This variation leaves you spinning with confusion. You're not really sure if your marketing approach is working at 20%, 55% or not working at all.
And you suspect that you could vastly increase sales, if you had a clear set of guidelines and benchmarks.
Increased My Sales!
"Things have been going great and I've had many successes since smARTist last January. I landed a licensing deal, won a grant for the second year in a row, and have greatly increased my sales successes at open studios and at my first art festival.I also have several upcoming group and solo shows.
I am so busy, I feel like my head is spinning!"
Thanks so much, and keep up the good work! ~ Laurie Breen
Here's What You Get In "Your Collector Lifeline: How to Use Confidence, Connection, and Communication so They Buy Your Art"
- Professional Development for Your Art Career – When art is no longer a hobby, sideline, or experiment, it is a career. This means you need up-to-date, art world information. You need professional level information—which is the beating heart of this "smARTist Telesummit Home Study Edition."
- Convenience With A Click – Even if you had time for endless surfing, first you have to know what you are looking for. With this program, we've figured it out. One click gives you instant access to all 7-days of professional information–14 sessions recorded and transcribed, 10 downloadable speaker handouts, and workbooks.
- 14 Presentations from 13 Leading Art Career Authorities – Who has time to do the research needed to figure out the best experts, this year, in the art world? I spend an average of 8 months identifying experts who can focus on that significant piece you need to complete your art career puzzle.
- Two MasterMind Panel Days – When you only have one answer to a question, it's hard to know if it's the right answer. When you have answers from 5 authorities to the same question, those multiple perspectives give you a new way to assess what's right for you.
- A Brick 'n Mortar Conference From the Comforts of Home – No traveling and extra out-of-pocket expenses (like other professional conferences). No jet lag, bad hotel food, or airline delays. No downtime. You learn at your own pace, in comfort.
- Exponentially Expanding Your Vision – Ever notice how easy it is to think small, stay small? After all, it's one pot, one sculpture, one tapestry, one canvass, and one photograph at a time, right? What would happen if you believed your Grandest Vision is completely doable and your biggest hurdle is simply having the professional information that gives you the competence to get there. The "smARTist 2012 Home Study Edition" is your ticket to ride beyond your own expectations.
I Came Into This Telesummit a Bit of a Skeptic. Now I'm a Convert!
"I came into this telesummit as a bit of a skeptic who had painful difficulty coughing up the money and now I am happy to say I'm a convert.
Even the speakers I wasn't interested in turned out to be fascinating. Seems like the only perceptions out of whack were my own. A really good eye-opener for me.
Also, I have been impressed this week with your warmth, insight, smarts (good practical advice and not all touchy-feely) and generosity of spirit (which is contagious). I look forward to continued learning through you and with you and hope we can stay in contact. Good grief, does that mean I have to get a twitter account?
I look forward to revisiting all the lectures and digesting them in the next few months." ~ Marcia Middleton
If this is what happened for Marcia Middleton, imagine what can happen for you!
Here's an alumni who keeps returning because she's had such spectacular results expanding her vision. (…she sent me this video as a surprise!)
The sooner you step into your professional shoes and take responsibility for your career decisions, the faster your art will succeed at the level you know in your heart is why you are here.
If you don't make sure your work stands shoulder-to-shoulder with any other professional career in our culture, how will you be able to expand the impact your art has on humanity?
When you stand behind your art and support it, then your art will support you. It's just the way it works.
And if you really want to leverage professional development and bridge the gap between making art and making a living, you cannot do it in isolation.
Which is why I'm get so excited that 33% of artists who come to the smARTist conference, year after year, are my returning Alumni.
I've Forgotten How Many Years
I've Been Taking This Program
"I've been doing it so long that I've forgotten how many years I've been taking this telesummit program, but I can tell you that each time, so much new information is covered that I never feel I've had enough.
The year you gave us Social Media information, I couldn't imagine how it could be helpful. Now I'm up and running with two Facebook fan pages, and was even given a write-up in my local paper because I had so many followers on Twitter.
Because of past smARTist discussions—about giving artwork search engine friendly titles, I've received two commissions.
So once again, I thank you for setting up this great telesummit each year. It's both a reinforcement and a growth tool for me."
~Phyllis Tarlow
While 2011 Was Very Good,
2012 Sessions Were Fantastic!
"I attended the 2011 and 2012 smARTist Telesummits. While 2011 was very good, the 2012 sessions were fantastic.
A number of questions came up throughout the conference regarding photography and how the lessons being shared applied to this medium. I can understand how it can be a bit difficult to determine how to apply what you are learning in a session where the focus is on "originals.
However, I believe that 90% of what was discussed directly applies to fine art photography. How to approach galleries, blogging, promotions, exhibitions, etc. apply no matter the medium."
~Jeffrey Stoner
More proof that taking professional development seriously pays off. Listen to this…
Here I was happily answering your questions when out of the blue…
Artist Speaks Out! (It's a short, fun listen – only 4½ mins.)
And she's not the only one piping up.
Even though this next artist had to overcome some resistance, look what happened…
I had a few reservations when I signed up.
"Because I've been a working artist most of my adult life—in the print business, art galleries, museums, as well as studying business marketing—most of the topics you covered were not new to me.
But I can really say that the summit has been a great source of information and inspiration for me.
First the quality of the reception impressed me and most importantly it was actually good to go over the areas that I was familiar with. I have lots to work on. I would recommend this to other artists. Thank you so very much." —Brain Banks
I've gone to great lengths to get you the most informed and up-to-date art career experts because I understand how crucial it is for you to find the shortest path to success.
Ponder this:
Just one session, with any of my speakers, at a consulting rate of $250 to $350 and up would cost you thousands of dollars.
Every year people tell me that the Home Study Edition is crazy low because this entire 7 days with 13 speakers costs less than most 2-day workshops with one speaker.
Save yourself the time, trouble, and money of hunting down all of this information on your own.
Join hundreds of artists: Get the smARTist 2012 Home Study Edition and don't lose another precious minute sitting on the sidelines.

Starting Tonight I'm Taking Action!
"Thank You… Thank you…
This telesummit was fantastic for me. It carved and deepened my understanding of where I am going as an artist.
You being so commitment to what you do inspires me to stay on track with what I do, because we are a part of a greater whole. I feel your passion and drive to be excellent and to give us your best.
So I am keeping this excellence inside of me to help me through any and all rough edges. If you can give to this degree to do your part, by gosh I can do my part.
The part I had been missing was the marketing. Now I am going to address "this other side of the coin" and get my work out into the world where it belongs.
I'm holding my head a little higher and I'm going to pat the doubts down… and just step forward… Starting tonight I'm taking action!" ~Jade Moede
My Courage And Creativity Waned And My Art Suffered
"I don't know how to thank you for having put together the smARTist telesummit. I am a small foundation founder, and I put together an annual week-long Buddhist event each year, not nearly on the scale that you do, so I am well aware of the enormity of this achievement. Your heartfelt generosity of spirit and caring concern for artists is authentic, moving, and awe-inspiring.
Participation in the telesummit has caused me to reassess not only my art career, but my whole life, putting into perspective where or what phase I am in at this moment in my life and where I am going. It is an exciting way to begin a new year. I have not been so hopeful in a long time.
For the past two years I've been trying to develop my art creation into a self-sustaining business, exerting lots of energy and money, getting a little recognition, and only a trickle of income, at best. My courage and creativity waned and my art suffered. I was ill-equipped.
Now armed with this smARTist material, direction, and motivation, plus my new found determination, commitment and courage, I will venture forth and conquer all the windmills looming ahead.
I'm excited to open this new chapter in my life and in my art. I feel so privileged to have been able to participate in the telesummit. Thank you, thank you, thank you Ariane, and your incredible assistants, for the awesome work you have done. You are truly inspired!" ~ Peach Pair

Most Savvy Art Career Decision I've Made
"Signing up for the smARTist Telesummit was one of the most savvy art career decisions I have made in a long time.
Listening to a diverse group of speakers on a variety of timely topics—when it was convenient to me—was especially helpful. I feel more focused and armed with resources to carry me forward.
Prior to the Telesummit I felt rather ambivalent and overwhelmed. Now having spent time visioning, planning, organizing and implementing, I think of it as a fun and challenging exercise where I get to craft the course of my art career." ~ Christine Herman

I Was Able To Get Over A Large Hurdle
"A heart felt thank you, to you and all of the speakers. The smARTist Telesummit was a wonderful opportunity to broaden my vision on the many ways to earn a living from my art.
Your spotlight on the spiritual side of creativity was so inspiring and thought provoking. I have a greater appreciation for what I do in terms of knowing its impact upon society.
I was able to get over a large hurdle in my art career as a result and will focus upon getting my art out there for others. It was a great week of inspiration!" ~Kathy Besthorn
smARTist Is Addictive and the Info Invaluable
"I am a third year smARTist alumni and always manage to be amazed at how much can be learned year to year.
I find smARTist an excellent way to start of the New Year and I continue to be surprised at the information I hear from all the speakers that I can make use of.
I am surprised at how many artists I know who have never investigated the professional side of art. As a result they do the same thing every year, business wise, and somehow expect different results. smARTist is addictive and the info invaluable." ~ Christine Montague
I find this smARTist Telesummit pretty addictive myself. As much as I know, every year I learn not just from my speakers, but from the artists who come and teach me things I'd never know any other way!
And each year I think, "This year's speakers are the BEST!" And each year they surprise me with their warmth and wit and wisdom. We've worked hard to put together a program that will give you that extra boost you so deserve.

- Pride can be a useful emotional tool for speakers and infectious with their audiences, if used appropriately. But make sure your presenter's ego remains within good boundaries that respect the audience.
- Anger also has many faces that speakers should use with care. Sometimes, research shows, we're more generous in negotiations if we believe the other speaker is truly angry. Your audience heckler may be angry, but you can use these tactics instead of getting into an angry debate.
- To convey sadness, your voice is critical: the sound of sadness spoken is identical to the minor third in music, research shows. Sometimes sadness comes with the territory, as when this reader had to deliver her mother's eulogy; read her recommendations for getting through that sad speaking task.
- Empathy's an emotion that helps you connect with your audience, whether you're making small talk during a negotiation or balancing a tough stance with an empathetic view.
- Whether you're angry, happy or concerned, telling a personal story is one of the best and easiest ways to show your emotions and move your speech forward. It's tough to beat the unabashedly emotional "last lecture" of Randy Pausch.
- If it's your topic that sparks emotion in you or in your audience, learn 5 ways to tackle a tough or controversial topic and manage the presentation, and take some lessons from the lawyer tasked with managing reparation funds for the angryand skeptical people affected by the BP oil spill.
- Before you get emotional, consider the double standard women face if they cry in public, and what may lie behind it.
- Are you more analytical or more emotional? Your personality preference can affect how and whether you convey emotion when you speak.

Brand: Earth SquaredColour: PinkMaterial: Linen
With its roomy interior and durable exterior, this fair trade pink linen bag is ideal for everyday use.
Handmade from hard-wearing Pink coloured linen, the bag is fastened by two flaps at top which are secured with a press-stud. External design features are added by way of a 10 coloured buttons arranged vertically on the front. The base of the bag is reinforced and also has four metal studs for added protection and support.
The straps of this bag are a design feature in themselves. They are actually one continuous strap feeding through four holes in the top of the bag (these holes are metal ringed to ensure that there is no unnecessary wear to the bag). The strap is made from a metal chain in the centre portion, and linen at the ends, which gives a great combination of comfort and durability.
Whilst being a superb design feature, the strap also provides additional flexibility in how the bag can be worn. You can use both sides of the strap to carry the bag in a traditional handbag style (the straps are approx. 56cm long) - or you can extend the strap to approx. 80cm by pulling it through the holes and using one side of the strap only, making it long enough to comfortably go over your shoulder.
Internally the bag is lined with a lovely Silver-Grey coloured Satin, and has an internal zipped pocket on one side for your valuables, plus an open pouch on the opposite side - which is the perfect size for a mobile phone.
All-in-all, this is a wonderful, high quality bag which has been designed to look great, be practical to use, and to stand the knocks of day-to-day life.

Working as a seamstress a woman can earn a good standard of living and also send their children to school and on to higher education. In addition our partners pay national insurance for each staff member that covers medical costs and provides a pension for retirement all of which is above the national legal requirements. The working conditions at the workshops are clean and safe and the staff have regular breaks and days off work.
The company give disadvantaged women the opportunity and support to improve their lives through secure work, training and a healthy working life giving them financial security and self-confidence.

Tommy Tuberville still wants a piece of Alabama. In fact, he wants two shots at the Crimson Tide if he can get it.
Tuberville, the head coach of Cincinnati and a former head coach at Auburn, added a spark to the talk of a potential Alabama-Cincinnati match-up during a recent radio interview, suggesting it is difficult to get schools to agree to play Cincinnati because the Bearcats want to lock up home-and-home deals.
"It's just hard to get a team to say we'll have a home-and-home with Cincinnati … it's a little bit risky," Tuberville said Tuesday on 94.5 FM in Birmingham, Alabama, as transcribed by Al.com. "We're just not going to be one of those teams that's going to just go somewhere and play and not get a return game."
Tuberville wants Alabama, but it sounds as though he is not getting the response he desires.
"I'm in charge of our schedule right now, so, I'm out there trying to find teams to play," Tuberville said after being asked specifically about the possibility of playing Alabama. "Now would I be really fired up about (playing Alabama)? Probably not because it'd be a one-game match."
And therein lies the problem with any potential Alabama-Cincinnati game, which had been rumored to be in the works for 2015. Alabama head coach Nick Saban has complained before about not being able to schedule games, and he has gone on record expressing interest in challenging schedules. Cincinnati may not fit the power conference profile, but they are certainly among the top of the rest of the crop. It is Tuberville's goal to schedule games against elite opponents because that is the best way to take a shot at the playoff in the end.
"If we're going to have a chance to get into the Big Dance, you're going to have to play teams like that," said Tuberville.

She was a graduate of Abbott academy in Andover and throughout her life had been much interested in the affairs of that school.

Things are about to get sophisticated!
Kick me in the balls I'm excited about this one. John Carpenter's classic film "Halloween" will once again be thrust into theaters on October 25th. Just to make things even better the super fun documentary "You Can't Kill The Bogeyman: 35 Years Of Halloween" will be shown right after the movie. Just so we're clear I don't really want anyone to kick me in the balls. It's just a saying. Not one people use really, but it's still a saying.
Remember "Manimal"? If you don't all you need to know is that it was a 80's TV series about a guy who can change into different animals. Sounds intense right? Well it looks like the show's creator, Glen A. Larson, has officially signed on to produce the upcoming big screen relaunch of the show in film form. That sentence was confusing wasn't it. No word on release date or casting for this yet but Sony plans to make this a live action/CG romp. There better be a live panther that's all I'm saying.
If there's one I think I love it's a good old fashioned creepy van. Who doesn't, honestly? Well this coming Holiday season a new film titled "Creep Van" will make all my dreams come true. Being called a cross between "Christine" and "Saw" the film revolves around a killer who uses a van equipped with it's very own torture chamber to pick people off. I assume the relationship to "Christine" is based solely on the fact that it's an automobile but I'll go with it. I'm no one to judge.
Philip Seymour Hoffman, my favorite of all the Seymour Hoffman's, is lining up a new ghost story for his next directing project. Titled "Ezekiel Moss", the film focuses on widow and her son who come in contact with a man who may be able to contact the dead. No word on casting yet but I have always thought I would make a terrific Ezekiel. I have the thighs for it.
Keri Russell, who will always be Felicity to you and your cat, has been confirmed to be taking the lead in Scott Stewart's new film "Dark Skies". The film is about a family who finds they're being terrorized by aliens every night and can't seem to find any help. Maybe the aliens are pissed because she straightened her hair. or cut it or something. Isn't that something people flipped out about back when the show was on? Am I the only one who remembers this? I can't be. Don't judge.
I don't know anyone who's excited about "Dredd", the updated version of the comic book tale we all know and love from the Sylvester Stallone flick, but that isn't stopping writer Alex Garland from making a trilogy out of his tale. That is if the first film makes enough money. It's a bold move, to make a sequel to a film if it does really well, I can't wait to see how this plays out.
I for one am very excited that script writer Dean Devlin is saying hat he's working on a sequel to the 1996 hit "Independence Day". I know I've gone on a few rants about this movie and honestly I don't know where I left off. Let's just go with Vivica A. Fox is really hot and leave it at that.
Philip Seymour Hoffman has officially joined the cast of "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", the second chapter in the Hunger games trilogy. He'll play Plutarch Heavensbee, the game maker who appears in the 2nd and 3rd book. If you don't know what a game maker is then I don't really want to be your friend.

On this date (August 29) in 1882, Johannes Brahms premiered his Piano Trio No. 2 in C major, Op. 87 at a private home in Bad Ischl, a spa town in Austria. Brahms played a practical joke on the audience by introducing the composer of the piece as pianist Ignaz Brull. The public premiere took place in the same year in December.
When you think of Brahms, a joker isn't the first thought that comes in your mind. Brahms never married, but he maintained a very active social life. He spent his evenings playing music in friends homes or in local cafes and bars. He constantly smoked cigars and drank strong coffee. He wasn't as stiff as his photos make him appear. The 2013 Brahms Festival in January and February will feature over 25 events by 19 artistic partners, as we celebrate this great romantic.
This trio is not one of the works being performed in the festival, but here is a video of the second movement to celebrate its anniversary. It is played by Elena Bashkirova, piano; Maxim Vengerov, violin and Boris Pergamenschikow, cello.

First images of giant squid in the deep are released
- 9-foot-long mollusk was filmed in July off Japan's Chichi island
- Scientists followed it to a depth of more than 2,700 feet
- The giant squids are known to scientists as Architeuthis
The first images of the human-shy giant squid in its natural habitat, filmed in the black depths of the Pacific Ocean, have been released.
The silvery, 9-foot-long mollusk — scientists said it could have been up to 26 feet long if its two longest tentacles had not been severed — was filmed in July off Japan's Chichi island by a three-man crew from the National Museum of Nature and Science. The scientists followed the creature in their submersible to a depth of more than 2,700 feet as it vanished into the ocean darkness, where oxygen is scarce and pressure is enormous.
Japanese broadcaster NHK showed footage Monday. The squid, with black eyes the size of dinner plates, clutched a bait squid in its remaining arms as it swam against the current.
"It was shining and so beautiful," researcher Tsunemi Kubodera told AFP. "I was so thrilled."
The footage will be part of a Discovery Channel show, Monster Squid: The Giant Is Real, which will air Jan. 27 as the season finale of Curiosity.
Discovery Newsannounced the find last month:
With razor-toothed suckers and eyes the size of dinner plates, tales of this creature have been around since ancient times. The Norse legend of the sea monster the Kraken, and the Scylla from Greek mythology, might have derived from the elusive giant squid.
This massive predator has always been shrouded in secrecy, and every attempt to capture a live giant squid on camera in its natural habitat has failed. Until now.
In 2006, Kubodera said, he filmed what he claimed was the first live video footage of a giant squid as it was hooked and brought aboard his ship.
Known to scientists as Architeuthis, the giants eat other types of squid and grenadier, a deep-sea fish, and can grow to more than 30 feet long and weigh 450 pounds.

This article is about a group or individual that may no longer be active in solar cooking promotion. It is retained here for archival purposes.
Last edited: 24 June 2015
Soleil Burkina has been promoting solar cooking and other low-cost solar technologies in Burkina Faso since 2007. They are involved in the installation, maintenance, and training of:
- Lighting
- Pumps
- Water Heaters
- Dryers
- Cooking (solar and electric stoves)
- Other applications
News and recent developmentsEdit
- January 2011: Nonprofit organization Soleil Burkina reports success in its efforts to promote solar cookers in Burkina Faso. The organization offers 5-day workshops to women's groups and individuals, during which participants assemble solar box cookers and learn how to properly cook in them. Carpenters assist in the assembly of the solar cookers, utilizing local materials including wood, glass and reflectors. Towards the end of the workshops, the women are provided illustrated solar cookbooks and given the opportunity to try their own recipes in the solar cookers, as well as in "foyers améliorés," locally-produced fuel-efficient wood stoves. The first such workshops were conducted for two women's groups — Collectif Guimbi Ouattara, a local network, and the Femmes Solidaires, a group of school teachers. The Femmes Solidaires workshop had 40 participants that assembled a total of 45 solar cookers. Follow up with the participants is being conducted by Soleil Burkina staff members to ensure proper usage of the new cookers and to address any issues that arise. The materials and components used in the solar cookers cost close to $70 and are unaffordable to most families in the area. Therefore, the solar cookers are provided to workshop participants at a subsidized price of $25. In addition to wooden solar box cookers, Soleil Burkina also promotes high-temperature butterfly-style parabolic solar cookers. Soleil Burkina will continue to offer workshops to women's groups and promote solar cookers at local markets and large villages, starting with eight locations near Bama over the next few months.

text: Tuesday, July 09, 2013 Documentation Should Reflect Clinical Reasoning and Decision Making As health care reform evolves, and the profession seeks a new payment system that moves away from fee-for-service and toward recognition of the clinical reasoning and decision making of the physical therapist (PT), the House of Delegates charged APTA to pursue documentation standards that align with this goal, reflecting the PT's clinical reasoning and decision making. Supporting comments to the House motion argued that PTs should be recognized for (and, therefore, documentation for payment should be based on) the "why"—our unique knowledge and skill set that helps individuals improve movement and function, instead of strictly on the "what" or "how"—the procedures performed. [RC 24-13] Draft language adopted by the 2013 House of Delegates will be available on the House Community no later than July 12. Final language for all actions taken by the June 2013 House will be available by September after the minutes have been approved.

If you're looking for a natural respite from the DC concrete jungle, Theodore Roosevelt Island may be the perfect place for your Washington DC engagement photography session. Just north of the Roosevelt Bridge on George Washington Memorial Parkway, the island is lush with vegetation and it has trails that, despite how crowded the island may get, can still make you feel secluded.
Start your session off with some shots on the pedestrian bridge over the Potomac River. Many people say that one of the indicators of a great marriage is being able to sit quietly with your spouse, not needing to fill the silence with words. Gaze off over the river side-by-side and have your photographer capture a casual, comfortable moment between you and your sweetie.
The island itself is a treasure trove of varied landscapes and picturesque views. First you can head to the middle of the island to snap shots around the memorial for Theodore Roosevelt, and then follow up with some pretty pictures of the two of you relaxing on one of the stone benches or kissing in front of the fountain. Next, get creative with your photographer. Take the trails around the island and discover beautiful marshlands, bridges, boardwalks, and views of Washington DC. Engagement photography is often far more casual than wedding photography, so feel free to let your photographer snap a lot of candid shots. You'll be glad you did.
Start your Washington DC engagement photography shoot off with a touch of whimsy. Visit the Duke Ellington School of the Art's Giant Adirondack Chair at 35th Street and Reservoir Road. This towering green chair is an entertaining spot for even the tallest couple to feel like a kid again. Climb up onto the novelty chair and have your photographer take some fun pictures of the incredible shrinking couple!
From there, walk--or catch a ride--over three streets to the Tudor Place Historic House and Garden. It will cost you $200 for outdoor photography or $300 for indoor photography, but the prices are justified by the stunning, elaborate gardens and the glamorous chandelier-clad interior. If you choose to take your shoot out into the garden, be prepared for a wealth of perfectly landscaped flower beds and boxwood hedges. Stroll leisurely with your darling through the Japanese Tea House and across the bowling green while your photographer snaps beautiful shots of you walking hand-in-hand. On the inside, the Tudor Place House is brimming with crystal, silver, and intricate plaster work. Dress to the nines and get some glamorous shots against the lavish backdrop.
From Tudor Place, head north up 32nd Street a couple blocks to get to your last stop, Dumbarton Oaks Gardens. Although wedding photography is prohibited, you can still take advantage of these gorgeous grounds in your Washington DC engagement photography session for only $8 per person in admission fees. For this location, have your photographer leave behind the bulky tripods and just snap some pretty candid shots of you and your beau frolicking in the gardens and rediscovering the reasons why you wanted to marry one another. Lying in the cool grass or strolling through the tree lined Plum Walk, you will not only get fantastic pictures but you'll feel like you just had a romantic day trip as well!
Inject style into your engagement photo album by choosing two of the city's unique icons in your Washington DC engagement photography session. Start off at the Lincoln Theater on U Street and 13th. Music lovers will be in awe of this location as this theater once housed the acts of legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, and Cab Calloway. The outside of the theater, with its brick façade, interesting overhang and marquee, will give your photos a strong sense of history revived. If you or your future-spouse play any instruments, you can tote them along to play in front of the theater while your photographer catches some entertaining shots for posterity.
Right next door sits another Washington DC favorite—Ben's Chili Bowl. This restaurant is a beloved institution for DC area residents and tourists alike. Get some shots of you and your honey outside of the establishment, then pop inside and order a couple of their famous half smokes. Your photographer can capture the good, the bad, and the messy as you chow down on your dogs together. Couples with a sense of humor will have a fun day shooting at these two locations.

text: How to detect, and deflect, ID-theft attacks on your smart phone. By Susannah Snider, Staff Writer December 1, 2012 1. Your smart phone holds a mother lode of data. It may be cordless, but, let's face it -- you're tied to your smart phone. You bank on it, check Facebook on it and call your Mom with it. Your smart phone may now even surpass your PC in the amount of valuable information it holds, from saved passwords to contact lists to GPS tracking data. As useful as that info is to you, it's even more valuable to criminals.SEE ALSO: Beware of Credit Card Texting Scams 2. Think before you click. A whopping four in ten users will follow an unsafe link on a mobile device this year, says mobile-security service Lookout. "The vast majority of people who run into mobile threats do so through clicking a bad link or allowing a suspicious download," says Kevin Mahaffey, co-founder of Lookout. If it's too good to be true or too enticing to be legitimate, ignore it. A common scam is a text, purportedly from your bank, claiming that there's something wrong with your credit card and asking you to call a number, says Bill Hardekopf, of LowCards.com. When you phone in, you're prompted to enter your account information. But you haven't called your bank -- you've handed over your personal information to bad guys. 3. Scammers cast a wide net. Malware developers "are in their basements with their bags of Cheetos and they've figured out what a gold mine smart phones are," says John Sileo, an adviser on protecting your digital privacy and reputation. Text phishing (known as smishing) is one of the key tools in a scammer's toolbox. QR codes (bar codes that direct you to a Web site when scanned with your phone) and URL shorteners (think tinyurl and bitly) make it even harder to identify suspicious links and Web sites. 4. That big bonus prize? It's bogus. Be wary of text messages claiming you've won a gift card from a popular store, such as Target or Walmart. The link to access the store's Web site is likely to send you to a phony site. In some cases, clicking the link could install malware, which may take over your phone. Up to 120,000 mobile-phone users were victims of last year's DroidDreamLight -- malware that was concealed in as many as 24 seemingly legitimate apps in the Android Market. Advertisement 5. "Toll fraud" could be down the road. The most common scam worldwide, says Lookout, is malicious code that prompts your phone to order ring tones or wallpaper without your permission. Your carrier charges you for the purchase, and the scammers collect the cash. Right now, toll fraud is limited mostly to Russia and Eastern Europe, but it could hit the U.S. soon. Early detection is key, so check your phone bill regularly for unusual charges. 6. You can fight back. If you've received unwanted messages or suspect fraud, register your complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. When you receive a spam text to your phone, immediately forward it to 7726 (which spells spam) to alert your carrier. You could download free anti-malware protection, such as Lookout, which will scan apps and links. But your best protection is to use your street smarts and ignore unsolicited downloads and text messages. If you're not sure whether a message is real, contact the sender independently before clicking through. This article first appeared in Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine.

I was wondering if there is a way to define an
equilateral triangle in tikz. I am aware that there is a predefined
isosceles triangle in
tikz. Specifically I'd like to define a
\tikzstyle for
equilateral triangle and use it in my diagram. The similar situation with
isosceles triangle is something like
\tikzstyle{buffer} = [draw,shape border rotate=-90, isosceles triangle,fill=red, node distance=2cm, minimum height=4em]
However, replacing
isosceles with
equilateral doesn't work. Thanks

Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom benchmarks
DisplayThe scientific display measurements allow us to inspect the quality of this extremely important component in such a great depth that is not possible with the naked eye. Armed with a colorimeter device and some specialized software, we study the various aspects of smartphone and tablet screens, such as their brightness, color temperature, gamma, color gamut and accuracy.
Screen measurementsOur 'Screen measurements' table is like a quick, yet very detailed overview of a display. With just a quick glance, you can discover a great deal of important data, including the maximum brightness, contrast ratio, gamma, color temperature, etc. Hover over each category to learn more about it and what makes it important!

Viewing anglesA high-quality display shouldn't exhibit significant image quality deterioration when viewed at an angle. That is why we find it important to measure each display at an angle of 45 degrees and calculate the percentage by which each aspect (brightness, gamma, etc.) has altered from its normal reading.
Maximum brightness Lower is better Minimum brightness Lower is better Contrast Lower is better Color temperature Lower is better Gamma Lower is better Delta E rgbcmy Lower is better Delta E grayscale Lower is better Samsung Galaxy S4 58.5% 55.6% unmeasurable 19.9% 0.9% 63.8% 74.4% Samsung Galaxy K zoom 60.2% 75% unmeasurable 10.6% 2% 37.2% 27.7% Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom No data

Color chartsSometimes, it's easier to get an idea of how good a display is by comparing its measured colors to reference ones. The 'Color accuracy' and 'Greyscale accuracy' charts will give you just that, with the latter providing a visual representation of the color temperature and gamma. The 'Color gamut' chart, on the other hand, will show you just how much of a deviation there is from the colors' reference points.
The CIE 1931 xy color gamut chart represents the set (area) of colors that a display can reproduce, with the sRGB colorspace (the highlighted triangle) serving as reference. The chart also provides a visual representation of a display's color accuracy. The small squares across the boundaries of the triangle are the reference points for the various colors, while the small dots are the actual measurements. Ideally, each dot should be positioned on top of its respective square. The 'x: CIE31' and 'y: CIE31' values in the table below the chart indicate the position of each measurement on the chart. 'Y' shows the luminance (in nits) of each measured color, while 'Target Y' is the desired luminance level for that color. Finally, 'ΔE 2000' is the Delta E value of the measured color. Delta E values of below 2 are ideal.
These measurements are made using Portrait Displays' CalMAN calibration software.
The Color accuracy chart gives an idea of how close a display's measured colors are to their referential values. The first line holds the measured (actual) colors, while the second line holds the reference (target) colors. The closer the actual colors are to the target ones, the better.
These measurements are made using Portrait Displays' CalMAN calibration software.
The Grayscale accuracy chart shows whether a display has a correct white balance (balance between red, green and blue) across different levels of grey (from dark to bright). The closer the Actual colors are to the Target ones, the better.
These measurements are made using Portrait Displays' CalMAN calibration software.

Camera SpeedA good camera is the one that's always there when you need it. Quality matters, but so does speed, and that is why we do a series of tests to determine if a smartphone's camera has what it takes to be a reliable tool in your photographic activities. We measure camera speed by running the cross-platform benchmark program CamSpeed, and by performing our own proprietary speed test.

Battery LifeNothing can replace a reliable, long-lasting battery that can easily carry you and your smartphone through at least a day of heavy usage. Of course, you can always get one of those chubby battery cases, but how uncool would that be? Instead, we'd suggest that you take advantage of our battery life ratings, which are based on our own, custom-designed battery test, to see how the phones compare.
We measure battery life by running a custom web-script, designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage. All devices that go through the test have their displays set at 200-nit brightness.

Alleged deadbeat dad Dennis Rodman, who's awaiting sentencing in May on charges that owes back child and spousal support to his ex-wife, has flown to Bulgaria in time for the country's All-Star basketball exhibition on April 7. No one seems terribly sure if Rodman will, you know, play in the game, but he hinted as much upon his arrival last night:
Besides attending the game, Rodman will hold a press conference and lecture Bulgarian youngsters on the specifics of his psychological preparation before basketball games.
He emerged at the Sofia National Airport dressed in simple clothes, wearing dark sunglasses and a baseball cap, which prevented fans from seeing his latest hair color.
"Hey, it is not very cold here," the star exclaimed.
When asked if he felt ready to play, Rodman replied: "Not right now. I am tired. The flight from Miami was long. The weather is warm there and I boarded it straight from the beach.
The NBA legend, though tired, did not miss the opportunity to compliment Bulgarian women.
"I learned a bit about your country on the internet. Your women are very beautiful," said he, before heading to his hotel.
Bulgarian sports site Gong.bg recapped the day's events as such (with an assist from Google Translate):
Special guest at this year's HDI Star Game Dennis Rodman was extremely friendly to the press conference that preceded his participation in Saturday's show in Sofia. 50-year-old former basketball star is behaving like a high rank, positive and natural, and immediately won the audience at the Grand Hotel "Sofia". Rodman said he is here mostly for the kids that will make camp and said that until Bulgaria reminds him of his home in the States.
Gong.bg also has the full 23-minute video of Rodman's arrival.

FORT MEADE, Md., Dec. 11 (UPI) -- The attorney for the U.S. Army private accused of leaking information to WikiLeaks questioned how far up the chain of command orders concerning his client went.
Pfc. Bradley Manning, 24, spent nearly nine months alone in a windowless, 8-by-6-foot cell at the Quantico Marine brig under conditions a U.N. investigator called "cruel, degrading and inhuman."
Officials said they took the measures to protect Manning but his lawyers said the brig staff defied a clinical diagnosis and treated him punitively, Courthouse News Service reported Monday.
Manning faces 22 charges that include aiding the enemy, violating the Espionage Act, exceeding access to his computer, stealing documents, and conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline in the armed forces for providing sensitive information to the whistle-blowing website. The matter is being heard before a military court in Fort Meade, Md.
If Col. Denise Lind finds Manning was subjected to "unlawful pretrial punishment," the military judge can reduce or reject the charges against Manning.
Manning's lawyer, David Coombs, questioned two brig officers at Quantico, now closed because of international outcry over treatment of detainees.
One, Chief Warrant Officer-4 James Averhart testified he put Manning on suicide risk three times while he was in charge of the brig. Suicide watch forced Manning to strip naked, put on a rough smock, and sleep on a special mattress and a blanket, CNS said.
Averhart and his successor, Denise Barnes, both testified they knew higher ranking officials were watching the matter.
Barnes testified she saw Col. Robert Oltman, Quantico's security battalion commander, and Capt. William Hocter, the brig psychologist, argue during a January 2011 meeting.
As stated in a defense motion and during court proceedings, Oltman told Hocter that Manning "won't be able to hurt himself, and he won't be able to get away, and our way of making sure of this is that he will remain" on a prevention-of-injury status indefinitely.
Hocter expressed concern because such a decision wouldn't be "based on anything from behavioral health."
Coombs also highlighted inconsistencies in Barnes' testimony, including a statement concerning Manning's standing nude at reveille. Under prosecution questioning, she said he voluntarily stood naked, but under cross she said detainees who chose to stand nude would have been ordered to dress.
Manning supporters have praised him for exposing military and diplomatic malfeasance. Readers of the British newspaper The Guardian voted him "Person of the Year" Monday.

I've always had mad respect for those who have a knack at carving intricate designs out of large orange squashes because, like putting together IKEA furniture and algebra, it's something I've never been very good at. As an artistically inclined, Halloween-obsessed kid, the idea of carving a pumpkin excited me. But I suppose I had set the pumpkin carving bar too high for myself because I was always disappointed with the end results. I was well aware of what a good jack-o'-lantern looked like and mine, well, seemed to scream shoddiness. I aspired to create something magnificent, something original, something ripped from the pages of Sunset magazine. Perhaps all I needed was more patience and one of these bad boys.
Because of my early failures, I haven't attempted to sit down and spend some QT with a pumpkin and a paring knife as an adult. I also haven't come to truly appreciate the art of pumpkin carving due to some lingering envy issues.
So that's my deal. But for those of you who are skilled at pumpkin carving and also happen to be all worked up about renewable energy issues ahead of the big presidential election, the Department of Energy has you covered with an array of energy-themed jack-o-lantern stencils: CFL bulb, solar array, and wind turbine. Spooky! There's also a scientifically inaccurate atom symbol, which as Grist points out, is the same design that the military stamps on the gravestones of atheists. Double spooky!
The DOE did, however, forget to go all out meta and include a pumpkin itself.
The reason that the DOE is delving into pumpkin-carving territory (again)? October just happens to be National Energy Action Month, the perfect time to "show off your energy-saving, science-loving spirit" by dazzling the neighbors with a CFL jack-o'-lantern. Or something like that.
If so inclined, download the energy-themed carving stencils and send along photos of your completed masterpiece to the DOE. There's the chance it might be published on Energy.gov during the week of Halloween. Or instead of solar arrays and wind turbines, you can just go with a safer, less preachy option like Lionel Richie or Colonel Sanders.

As we saw in the Types Guide DataNucleus supports the persistence of a large range of Java field types. With RDBMS datastores, we have the notion of tables/columns in the datastore and so each Java type is mapped across to a column or a set of columns in a table. It is important to understand this mapping when mapping to an existing schema for example. In RDBMS datastores a java type is stored using JDBC types. DataNucleus supports the use of the vast majority of the available JDBC types.
When persisting a Java type in general it is persisted into a single column. For example a String will be persisted into a VARCHAR column by default. Some types (e.g Color) have more information to store than we can conveniently persist into a single column and so use multiple columns. Other types (e.g Collection) store their information in other ways, such as foreign keys.
This table shows the Java types we saw earlier and whether they can be queried using JDOQL queries, and what JDBC types can be used to store them in your RDBMS datastore. Not all RDBMS datastores support all of these options. While DataNucleus always tries to provide a complete list sometimes this is impossible due to limitations in the underlying JDBC driver
If you need to extend the provided DataNucleus capabilities in terms of its datastore types support you can utilise a plugin point.
DataNucleus provides support for the majority of the JDBC types. The support is shown below.

Imaging Filters are used to isolate certain wavelengths or ranges of wavelengths from imaging systems for a variety of purposes. Imaging Filters consist of a range of optical filters such as color, bandpass, ND, or IR filters. Imaging Filters use a variety of substrates, coatings, or a combination of the two to block unwanted wavelengths while transmitting desired light. Imaging Filters are ideal options for transmitting or blocking specific wavelengths or wavelength ranges.
Edmund Optics offers a wide range of Imaging Filters suited for many imaging applications. Imaging Filters are used to increase contrast, separate color, or control camera exposure. Imaging Filters are useful for imaging scenarios where a single wavelength range is being used to illuminate an area, as in with an LED illuminator. The variety of optical filters offered is ideal for customizing an image system to an application. A variety of Imaging Filter accessories including filter holders, filter mounts, or filter adapters are also available.
