This week Darksiders II developer Marvin Donald caused a bit of a stir with his comments about the Wii U's hardware. "So far the [Wii U] hardware's been on par with what we have in the current generations," said Donald in an interview with Game Reactor. Kotaku rightly pointed out that critical "so far" in his statement and it makes the whole thing a little less worrisome.
However, since everyone seems to be sounding the death knell for Wii U over it, I thought I'd give my stab at ten reasons why the Wii U will succeed, especially with gamer parents.
1) Backward compatibility
What's the joke about Wii owners? They don't buy games, they just play Wii Sports? Well if you're a gamer, you probably own at least a few titles, both for yourself and for your kids. Games like Super Smash Bros. Brawl, or Mario Kart. Or Zelda Skyward Sword. Or Xenoblade Chronicles. Or (cough) Monster Hunter Tri (cough). It will be nice that the Wii U will be able to play those games, preserving your investment in iconic Nintendo titles.
This feature becomes more of a selling point now that it looks like at least Sony's next Playstation console won't be able to play PS3 games at all.
2) Up-scaling of old games to HD
And now that you've got that big TV you always wanted, won't it be great to be able to play those games you already bought, upscaled to look nice on your big HDTV? Because the Wii U will be able to take the 480p resolution of the original Wii games and bring it up to 1080p.
Those of you familiar with upscaling might argue that just because it's 1080p doesn't mean the old games will look as nice as new Wii U games. Of course they won't. But they'll look better than they do now on your plasma or LCD TV.
3) "On par" hardware will mean on par price
Nintendo is launching the Wii U into a market that has the PS3 and 360 selling for $250 and $199, respectively. Prices may vary depending on the configuration and peripherals included. If the Wii U does indeed have hardware that is on par with its competitors, Nintendo can afford to introduce it at a price to match. I'm predicting $350, which will cover the premium of a 'new' console, with the tablet controller. A PS3 with Move controllers or a 360 with Kinect are about the same price, for now.
If Nintendo dramtically increased the hardware spec, the price would probably jump to over $400, and at that price it will be a tough sell.
4) Nintendo 1st party exclusive titles
When you have kids, there are few game characters that are more endearing than what Nintendo has to offer. My girls gravitate towards Yoshi and Peach, but I'm sure your kids have their favourites, as do mom and dad!
The power of Mario is undeniable as a brand, and Nintendo has a lock on him and his friends.
Throw in Link & Zelda, maybe Kirby or Pikmin, and perennial favourites like Mario Kart and Smash Bros. and the first party lineup of game franchises is strong and deep.
5) Third-party developer support
If Nintendo has had a weakness over the years, however, it's the lack of third party developers. That seems to be a thing of the past now, with several major developers stepping up and announcing they will release games for the Wii U. Nintendo has said nary a peep about their own games since the Wii U reveal, but other developers have been talking a lot about the Wii U recently, like Ubisoft with Assassin's Creed III, or Vigil with Darksiders II.
It's a sign that things are different with the Wii U this time around, and we can look forward to playing more than just Wii Sports at launch.
6) Strong launch lineup
Speaking of launch, have you seen the leaked list of potential launch titles? It's quite long, and if its true it could mean upwards of 25 or more games available for the Wii U at launch. That's extremely positive for the system, and speaks to how many third party games there are going to be on the system.
7) Two words: Skylanders Giants
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure is HUGE right now. This is the game that marries collectible figurines with unlockable in game characters. When you place the figurines on the "Portal of Power" (a special hardware unit with a built in sensor) the same playable character is unlocked in game.
With the upcoming Skylanders Giants game in the works, the developer is looking at perhaps integrating the NFC capabilities of the Wii U tablet to use that as the sensor for recognizing the figurines. In any case, it's bound to be another huge success, if its anything like the surprise hit that Skylanders was.
8) One to two year window of opportunity
Both Sony and Microsoft have made noises indicating that they're not replacing the PS3 or 360 anytime soon. If the recent Sony Playstation "Orbis" rumours are to be believed, it will be holiday 2013, which would give Nintendo a year with the Wii U. If there are any unforseen delays, Nintendo will have even more time to penetrate the market.
9) Consumers looking to upgrade
Do you know how many Wii's Nintendo has shipped? Would you believe over 94 million units (as of the end of 2011)? If only 5 percent of existing Wii owners upgrade to the new model in the first year, that's 4.7 million units. That puts it square in the middle of the numbers as compared to the first year of the original Wii (5.84 million), the Xbox 360 (5 million), and the PS3 (3.61 million). Keep in mind these three consoles were all competing against each other, with all of them launching within 10 months of each other.
10) Streaming games to the new tablet controller
Gamer parents are going to find this to be an awesome feature, if it works as advertised. Say you're in the middle of playing Assassin's Creed III and the kids want to come in and watch Dinosaur Train or something. You can just continue playing while they watch their show. And you can hide the fact that you're murdering people while they watch cartoons... or something like that. So maybe you're not winning the parent of the year award for that one, but hey, it's pretty cool.
So there you have it, my ten reasons why gamer parents are going to love the Wii U, and why it will succeed. It will have to come in at the right price, and have strong launch titles, but I'm counting on great Nintendo franchise titles and third party triple-A titles to push the system forward.
And hey, if I'm wrong, at least we have the Xbox 720 and Playstation 4 to look forward to, right?

"A Ode to the Midwest"
Walking though this neighborhood, I completely forgot that I was in New York City. Like something out of a midwestern dream, this cross street, lined with trees and people walking their dogs, was a wonderful place to start a life in the city. It's expensive, so you must be well-established and interested in owning a home. If you would like to get to 72nd Avenue , you can use the 71st Avenue at Forest Hills Subway and access the E, F, V, and J trains. You can also use the M train at 75th Avenue.

The Liffey bed has four large drawers with angled faces concealed beneath the platform. In addition, the Liffey bed has a hand-constructed headboard, accentuating the beauty of the natural grain. Adding an extra artistic flourish to the headboard are two small curly maple pop-out boxes for jewelry and other personal items. They close flush so that you might not even know they are there, unless you pop them out! The SHIMNA Liffey bed is available in a variety of hardwoods including walnut, oak, maple and cherry.
The standard queen bed measures 87.5"l x 69"w x 32"h

We use the actual edge of the tree, just under the bark to give the table a natural edge. Juxtaposed with our steel leg system, the table has a unique statement: a harmony of two very different materials. Finished with a durable, water-based polyurethane.
Available in lengths from 72" to 108" long x 36"w x 30"h (note that size is customizable)
Hardwoods available include walnut, oak, maple, cherry

Hardwoods available include walnut, oak, cherry.
33" x 33" x 13"Custom size are available.

The concept behind this piece was to create a credenza without using any finish or any gluing. What you see is the result. Wooden battens (here, using black walnut) secured with steel braces and bolts hold everything together.

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Shhh. (02/18/10)
- TITLE: Snuggling under His wings
By Suzanne R
The mortgage has to be paid. Banks are not known for extending mercy. But where can you cut back? Food? Clothing?
Your child isn't making the milestones the maternal child health care nurse says she ought to at her age. Is there something wrong? The burden of guilt rests heavily on your shoulders, even though your head tells you that is not reasonable.
The doctor's face is drawn, the bags under his eyes accentuated more than ever as he outlines the options for your loved one's future. Future? What future?
The pressure at work is overwhelming. "We must increase productivity in order to remain a viable concern," the director stated yesterday. Without more workers, how can that happen? But the business isn't able to sustain more workers.
Okay, so you're all grown up and you can't stop the world and get off. You can, however, flee to the one place of refuge where the madness of this fallen world is muffled and distant. That's what David did.
The great king David experienced highs and lows in life. Sometimes he was at fault and suffered the consequences. Yet when he penned Psalm 17, it wasn't his fault that he was being attacked on every side by enemies, and life seemed hopeless. He, like you, could not stop the world and jump off while he caught his breath, but he could … and did … hide his soul for a time.
In the midst of a Psalm outlining his innocence and calling on God to rescue him from "those of this world whose reward is in this life" (Ps 17:14 NIV), David, the great king, the valiant warrior, snuggled … yes, metaphorically snuggled … under the wings of God. Like a frightened child snuggles into its mother's chest and is comforted, so he snuggled into God.
"I call on you, my God, for you will answer me; turn your ear to me and hear my prayer. Show me the wonders of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes. Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings…." (Ps 17:6-8 NIV)
In other parts of Scripture, we read of God carrying His people on His mighty wings like an eagle carries its young (Exodus 19:4), and of God's powerful wings hovering and making life difficult for His young like an eagle does in order to move the baby eagles out of the nest and teach them to fly, but quickly undergirding them with His powerful wings and raising them up high (Deuteronomy 32:11). In contrast, here in Psalm 17, we read of King David snuggling up under those powerful wings.
Okay, so it probably wasn't David's idea originally. The king's great-grandparents no doubt passed the concept down through the generations. David's great-grandfather, Boaz, had said to his great-grandmother, Ruth, on the occasion of their first meeting during a mad, mad patch of life for her, "May you be richly rewarded by the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge." (Ruth 2:12 NIV).
Is your world spinning out of control? You can't stop the world and get off, but you can snuggle under the wings of the Almighty LORD, of He who knows all. Like a distressed child is calmed in the arms of her mother, so you can slow down, breathe deeply, confident that you are safe and secure under the wings of God Himself.
I wish at this point I could say that God will solve all your problems - that the mortgage would somehow be reduced, that your child would turn out to be gifted, that your loved one would experience supernatural healing and that your work would prosper. Maybe the mighty Eagle who is our God will intervene. Whatever happens, like King David, under the wings of God, you can be comforted and given a fresh and correct perspective on the mad world around you.
Perhaps the Lord is nudging you out of your comfort zone? Perhaps you are simply suffering the effects of the fallen, broken world in which we live? Regardless, when we are in right relationship with God, we can be still, quiet, calm, and let this mad wobble crazily while we re-centre ourselves in the LORD, the God of Israel.
Stop. Pray. Focus.
Quietness. Calm. Serenity.
Snuggle in under those powerful wings.

I often get asked the question, "How do I get into a Growth Group?" It's a good question, deserving of a good answer. Unfortunately there's no quick answer or magic formula to make this happen, but there are some steps you can take to get moving in the right direction. I want to share my Growth Group story with the hope it will inspire and encourage you in your journey.
It was back in 1998 when all my kids were still in the nest and I had the awesome privilege and responsibility of teaching them at home. In order to garner some encouragement as a homeschool mom, I began a support group at our church and invited other moms to join me in the adventure.
As I was going through the applications turned in that week, I read under the comments section on one of them: "My 5 year old son needs a friend". Well what do you know? I happened to have a 5-year-old son who needed a friend too. I didn't waste any time. I called this mom, who was also new to homeschooling, as soon as I was able and invited her and her three boys over for grilled cheese sandwiches and lemonade so that our boys could meet. The rest, as they say, is history. Our sons are friends to this day (Aaron stood as my son Isaac's best man—seventeen years later—this last September when he married Shayna, his High School sweetheart), remembering it all started from a mom expressing a need on a homeschool application.
It would have been enough if that was the end of the story, but I gained a friend through it as well.
Since that first lunch together munching on grilled cheese sandwiches and wondering if our boys were going to get along, we have prayed about big decisions in both our lives, painted every room in each other's homes multiple times, celebrated too many birthday parties and holidays to count, vacationed together, homeschooled our kids together while partnering in leading that homeschool support group for nearly 10 years. We have laughed till we cried and cried until there were no more tears left. And it all started with 8 words written down on an application.
I believe there is something vulnerable and beautiful about expressing a need. And just as beautiful is when that need is met… specifically through the Body of Christ! "Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." [JHN 13:35]
My encouragement to you is to get connected. You can do that by:
· Finding a place to serve with others
· Joining a "common-interest" Life Group or
· Coming to our bi-monthly Girls Like Me events.
Relationships begin with a choice and are maintained with mutual resolve. So make a decision to be purposed in your desire for a Growth Group partner and join community life here at The Sanctuary.
Sharing our lives together is really what it's all about.

Perhaps a different element name than > label(although I think it's quite neat)? Well first off, while I can see the desirability of having an element to indicate a semantically important marker that is associated with a list item, it shouldn't be placed outside of the list item or you are just getting a
 with different element names. In fact since your example is not a list, using an
 is just as bad as using a
. Rather, I'd use:

 Dave
Hi, how are you doing?

 Kieram
 Fine. Thanks. And you?

 Dave
 Doing well. I got that job I applied for at CERN, so I am really pleased.

 Now if there were a Diologue Module with specific elements for this sort of thing, it would be even better, but do dialogues occur often enough to justify it?Received on Saturday, 31 May 2003 12:02:29 UTC

Some memories from 1970s of a former columbia sds new left anti-war activist and working-class protest folk songwriter-writer from Queens County in NYC.

Queens County Revisited: The 1970's (67)
Since the weather was nice outside, however, I decided to spend that Saturday afternoon outside, enjoying the fresh Fall air and walking around Queens. And near the end of the afternoon, as I walked on the sidewalk along the Long Island Expressway service road, I was approached on the street by a white woman who looked like she was still just a junior or senior in high school.
"Wanna buy a tab of acid for 5 dollars?" she asked me, apparently because I was then long-haired, bearded and looked like a freak.
"Sure," I replied. Then, after I took my wallet out of my pocket and handed her a 5 dollar bill, the white high school woman student gave me a tab of acid in exchange; and then she quickly started to walk ahead in the direction opposite from the direction I was walking.
Apparently she was more interested in finding other freak customers on the streets of Queens to sell her tabs to than wasting anymore of her time finding out what I might be into, besides also being into dropping acid like she was. But, although I was somewhat attracted to her physically and might have been interested in getting to know her better, because she also seemed a little too young at that time for me to consider getting involved with romantically, I wasn't that disappointed when she walked away from me in search of other customers. So I just shrugged and also continued my own walk in the opposite direction for a block or two before swallowing the tab of acid.

Home > Keeping Your Feet Warm > Raynaud's Socks
Brand: Therm-IC
This product has been discontinued. Please contact our team for details of the latest release.
Those suffering from Raynaud's Disease feel the cold more than others. This is because the narrowed blood vessels reduces circulation which in turn makes it harder to keep the extremities warm. Both the hands and the feet are the areas that suffer with this the most. As circulation to the extremities has been compromised, it can be a real challenge to warm them back up again.
The Powersocks are the perfect solution to keeping your feet warm, but they need to have the right sort of battery pack attached to them. The IC 1200 Battery Pack is one of three options that allows you to heat your socks.
The battery packs are suitable for use only with the Therm-IC Powersocks range. They are fastened onto the sock cuff via snap buttons.
The IC 1200 Battery Pack can be controlled by a hand control so you can adjust the temperature without having to bend down to your feet.
The batteries are ultralight lithium-ion batteries and will provide your feet with warmth for up to fourteen hours.
You have the option of three different heat levels to chose from. This means that you can find the best temperature that best suits your needs, making sure your feet are neither too hot not too cold.
The battery packs come with a functional storage bag to store them in when they are detached from the socks.

IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd today said it has signed an agreement with National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for four-laning of NH-17 from Goa/Karnataka Border up to Kundapur, with the project cost estimated at Rs 2,600 crore.
"The Project is to be executed on DBFOT (toll) pattern with a concession period of 28 years... Estimated project cost is approximately Rs 2,600 crore and the construction is to be completed within 910 days from the appointed date," IRB said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The agreement has been signed by the company through a wholly-owned subsidiary, IRB Westcoast Tollway Pvt Ltd. The project is being developed under National Highways Development Programme (NHDP) phase IV on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT) basis.
The company added that the scope of work for the project involves upgradation of existing section of NH-17 between Goa/Karnataka Border and Kundapur from existing 2 lane highway to 4 lane highway.
The construction is to be completed within 910 days from the appointed date and IRB Infrastructure's subsidiary will get tolling rights upon completion of construction, it further said.
The company has sought a grant of Rs 536.22 crore from NHAI to execute the project.
Meanwhile, in a separate filing, IRB Infrastructure also said that its promoter Virendra Mhaiskar has marginally increased his stake in the company to 25.11 per cent by buying shares worth Rs 5.87 crore. Before the transaction, Mhaiskar used to hold 24.95 per cent stake in the company.
The company's scrip ended the day at Rs 113.05 on the BSE, up 1.39 per cent from the previous close.

The franchise has now been revitalized with the release of SEGA Rally Revo, the first stateside appearance of the series in years. The game is a tried-and-true arcade racer through and through, with simplistic menu selections and a "keep going" attitude to pretty much its entire layout.
Let it be known that although the game also hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC this week, and though the fundamentals and general setup are pretty much identical, the PSP version is a different game in that it features entirely different tracks and a much more forgiving control scheme. This makes sense as the PSP version was outsourced to Bugbear Entertainment, the studio behind the technically-impressive FlatOut series. Regardless of differences, the result is that this is a refined racing experience, one that is visually quite impressive and makes damn fine use of the PSP's hardware.
Control-wise, this is very much like SEGA Rally titles of the past in that you'll find yourself sliding around turn after turn. However, the PSP version doesn't require the skill level that the console titles do in that while your car will lose traction and you'll skid through turn banks, you still have quite a bit of steering control and aren't simply working to keep your car on the track. It's also quite forgiving, as bumps into walls don't mean a detrimental loss of speed. In fact, you can hug the outside rails of turns a fair bit without giving up too much placement, though you'll need to steer clear of these in order to gain placement.
As we mentioned, this is about as classic a SEGA Rally game as could be, which applies to how the AI works as well. When a race starts, the AI jets ahead and completely burns you at the start. As the race progresses, you'll catch up to them, usually one at a time, and work to overpower them. Once they're behind you, they'll fall off rather quickly, meaning that you rarely have to fend off would-be passers and only focus on doing the passing yourself.
The result of this is that the game is generally quite easy. Once you've made it past one car, the next seems to slow down to allow you to catch up, and once you're past him, you're home free. We would generally win races by a good five seconds or so, sometimes even 10 seconds or more, and usually we'd be untouched and leading the pack during the final lap. That doesn't mean that it isn't fun, but we do wish there were more of a challenge to be found.
What's fun here is that the track design is great and goes very well with the controls, featuring plenty of widely banked turns mixed with tight runs that'll have you snaking in and out of curves. The tracks themselves all feature rather unique scenery, providing for plenty of variety and how and where you'll be racing. There's a lot of character to the tracks, which is rather important in a game like this.

An Asian Power Web Emerges
24/06/2013 Deja un comentario
When President Obama met his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in California last week, it is doubtful that either leader focused on the growing ties among countries like Singapore, India, South Korea and Vietnam. Perhaps they should have. The Burgeoning security cooperation among such nations represents untold story of a region on move. Asia has undergone decades of economic deepening, and complemented by years of diplomatic integration. Now, countries across region are building on this foundation, engaging in unprecedented forms of military cooperation. In many cases these deepening ties include neither the United States nor China, and they are supplementing traditional U.S.-led "hub and spoke" system of alliances that has marked regional security for decades. This emerging power web will have deep implications across the Indo-Pacific region. It should also affect American strategy, because, played correctly, the United States is poised to be leading beneficiary of growing network of relationships. The network is marked by a proliferation of government-to-government security agreements, including recent pacts inked between Singapore and Vietnam, Japan and Australia, India and South Korea. Variable in scope, these accords promote ability of Asian nations to train and operate together, conduct joint research and development, service each other's ships and aircraft. To be sure, these are not mutual defense treaties, but they point to ever-closer military cooperation among key countries in the region. Similarly, there is an upsurge in the joint military training. Japan and India conducted their first bilateral maritime exercise in 2012, the same year that saw joint field exercises between India and Singapore, Australia and South Korea, Japan and Singapore. The intra-Asian arms trade is also heating up like never before, and even a country like Japan, which has long placed stringent restrictions on export of weapons, is taking steps toward supplying Asian nations. While many of these relationships are developing outside the ambit of China or United States, Washington-Beijing dynamic remains a primary driver of them. Asian countries are diversifying their security ties in order to hedge against the possibility China's rise will turn threatening and American presence in the region will decline. What all this means for the regional stability remains undetermined. An increasing inter-connectivity in Asia could act as a restraint, making countries more reluctant to engage in provocations as they calculate the costs to their flourishing ties. But a more militarized region could also devolve into rival blocs characterized by arms races and heightened insecurity. Stronger security relationships in Asia could heighten regional competition, particularly if are divisive, perceived as aimed at China, which is predisposed to see regional security enhancements as containment (…..)

With all the snow and freezing temperatures this month, we have been dreaming of sunshine and outdoor summer weddings. Caroline and Jon's wedding was full of so much warmth and that's not just because it was on a gorgeous day in August! As we dream about warmer weather + summer nights, we wanted to share about this wonderful couple + their beautiful wedding day!
From the moment we met this wonderful couple, we could tell how much they loved and cared for one another. They wanted to include special touches for their big day from their custom invitations to their reception details. They wanted each detail to share their love story with their guests who traveled near and far to celebrate their Big Day. One of our favorite parts was the signs that hung on the pathway between their ceremony site and reception location. Each was a sketch with a description of a significant place in their relationship. Now those pictures hang up in their house as a reminder of the times + places that have brought them to the place they are today.
Enjoy all of the gorgeous photos from their special day + shoutout to this incredible vendor team who brought their vision to life! Cheers to more beauty ahead in 2018!

5 Essential Articles to Help You Reach the Perfect Work/Life Balance as a Freelancer
So you escaped the 9 to 5 and become a freelancer, found a great way to manage your money, and your friends marvel at your expertise in getting the most out of your travels abroad on the cheap.
But how do you manage your time? In a recent survey of over 500 freelancers, research found that 44% of self-employed people have not felt able to take a week or more's worth of holiday in the last 6 months. Despite promises of working in your own time and the freedom of managing yourself, many freelancers are overworked and risk fatigue or other symptoms from a lack of free time.
44% of self-employed people have not felt able to take a week or more's worth of holiday in the last 6 months
So whether you're an early bird or a night owl, here's 5 articles on how to strike the perfect work/life balance as a freelancer.
(1) Transitioning from your 9 to 5 to Freelancing
"I took on too much in the beginning because I wanted to please everyone but ended up quite stressed, which wasn't the aim of leaving the traditional office environment at all"
Meet Alice, Kate and Anya, three women who left their 9 to 5 jobs to freelance full time. They all had different things to fit their work life around, and all eventually put together a unique system that worked for them.
Their stories make essential reading for anyone worried about making the first leap into the world of freelancing.
(2) Giving Yourself Enough You Time
Diana Marinova, a freelance coach and consultant, thinks you're working too hard.
It is far too common in freelance circles for stress about making ends meet to lead people to overwork and miss out on the important things in life. By taking regular breaks, and learning to prioritise your work, you can become more productive, happy, and start to spend more time with your loved ones again.
"You're in complete control of your life as a freelancer."
The key thing to remember when you're freelancing is that you are in control. Choose the work you want, when you want, doing what you want. And when you can, delegate the small jobs so you can spend your time only doing what you love to do.
You can use Curve to bring all your accounts into one place, helping you manage your money quickly and easily so you can concentrate on the important things.
(4) Separating Your Office and Your Home
When you're struggling to find a system that works for you, there's worse you can do than crowd source advice!
That's what the folks at Thrive Solo did, when they asked freelancers on Twitter for their best tips for managing your work/life balance when you're self employed.
Among the advice they came up with were separating your office space from the rest of your home to help you to switch off when you should be relaxing, buying a second phone just for work to prevent distractions, and to use time-tracking software to manage your scheduling.
And finally...
(5) Your One Stop Work/Life Check List
The good people at PeoplePerHour have really been thorough for this guide, giving you all the tips, tricks and things you may not have thought about when managing your work/life balance.
And the most important among them all? Remember why you chose to freelance. Working for yourself takes courage, innovation, and a passion for your vocation, and gives you the opportunity to do what you love flexibly instead of enduring suffocating office hours. Following their guide, you can ensure you make the most of the experience.
"We choose to work for ourselves as we have the ambition and courage to follow our dreams."

Something dawned on me the other day: it had been a very long since I'd emailed anyone that I admired to tell them that their work inspired me. When I was starting out in photography, I spent my days browsing the internet for inspiration. I loved this process, and occasionally, someones work would really stand out to me. I'd get totally sucked in, and eventually would feel compelled to email them to tell them how much I admired them and their work.
I don't know what happened, but somewhere along the way I stopped doing that as much. Maybe it's because emails became a bit more of a chore to me, due to the amount I have to deal with on a daily basis. Whatever the reason, I simply didn't reach out to people as much.
Recently, I discovered the work of a photographer called Andrew Kearns. He's a travel photographer, who vlogs, and someone I've grown to admire so much. He's incredibly hard working, creates beautiful imagery, and is extremely open about how he works. So often, people hold back on sharing their processes out of a fear of being "copied." I don't really agree with this, and Andrew clearly doesn't either.
After days of watching his videos on Youtube, I felt a need to reach out to him. I simply wanted to let him know that he inspired me, thank him for creating the videos that he made, and give him encouragement.
Why did I do that? Because I know that whenever I get told that my work inspires someone, nothing makes me feel happier.
I genuinely don't think that we take the time to tell people we admire them enough. So from now on, I'm making a point to reach out to the people I'm inspired by. I'm going to comment on images more, rather than just tapping like, because a like means nothing... telling someone with actual words what their work means to you is so much more impactful. And I encourage you to do the same! Tell the people you admire what you think, why you love what they do. It will make their day.

In a work session Tuesday, Oct. 11, City Council took another step along the way to improving Old Lee Highway. City manager Bob Sisson and city engineer David Summers presented a final draft report with recommendations for improvements along the road, focusing on the section between Ridge Avenue and Layton Hall Drive.
The Community Appearance Committee initialized the highway improvement project in 2002, said Summers. The City hired Earth Tech, a transportation engineering company, to do a preliminary study, and conducted two public workshops to gauge community feedback, before coming up with the draft report.
As it is now, said the report, Old Lee Highway is not as attractive, functional or pedestrian-friendly as it could be. It is a two-lane road marked by inconsistent segments of shoulder, pavement and gutters. Non-uniformity of sidewalks and crosswalks make it hard for bicyclists and pedestrians to use Old Lee Highway, and, according to the report, excess pavement in some places is "a likely factor contributing to passing on the right and aggressive driving behaviors."
The report outlined two main plans. The short-term plan, which includes standardizing pavement width, adding signs and pavement markings in the road near Fairfax High School, connecting sidewalks, and enforcing speed limits more strongly, will cost $900,000, said Summers. A long-term plan, which would reconfigure Old Lee Highway as a 28-foot-wide, two-lane road with turn lanes as well as enhancing pedestrian and bicycle circulation and adding a number of crosswalks, would cost $3 million, he said.
While receptive to the report, the City Council decided to take a step back in the process and work more with the communities affected by the proposed changes. Some residents along Old Lee Highway aren't thrilled by the prospect of major changes to the road, councilmembers said.
MANY RESIDENTS wanted Old Lee Highway to remain two lanes and do not want the increased traffic that a larger road would bring, said Councilmember Jeff Greenfield. "If we are going back to the community, I hope we're not going back with a plan that's different from what had been done," he said.
Some in the community feel like they have not been heard yet, said Councilmember Gail Lyon. "We need to slow way down on this project," she said.
Mayor Rob Lederer asked for an executive summary of the recommendations and study findings to share with the community. He proposed another work session on the item.
"We ought to be really thoughtful as we go out into the community on this, because this is a sensitive subject," said Councilmember Scott Silverthorne.
At the work session, councilmembers also heard a presentation by city staff on a citywide watershed study and management plan, prepared by the Louis Berger Groups, Inc. and Gannett Fleming, Inc. The plan proposed ways to reduce storm water at the source through low-impact development (LID) measures such as green building concepts, green roofs, and open space. Much of the City of Fairfax is built out, said the report, but storm water reduction methods can be retrofitted to many of the buildings already there.
"We need to educate all the citizens as to the importance of the ways they handle water on their property," said Dr. Chris Jones, chair of environmental science and policy at George Mason University, who worked on the project.
Adrian Fremont, special projects engineer with the City of Fairfax, said part of the grant to develop the management plan was used to study Ashby Pond, part of the Ashby Road property purchased by the city in 2004 for open space and recreational use. After studying the pond and the citywide watershed, staff and a citizen task force added a new recommendation: to dredge the silty Ashby Pond and turn it into a working storm water detention pond.
"On-site treatment of storm water is very important so that the larger amount doesn't get into our streams," said Jones.
Councilmembers worried that the pond, originally bought with the intention of being a recreation center for the community, would become a dry ditch like other detention ponds.
The pond would still have water in it, said Fremont, but would be designed to hold overflow from average summer storms as well.
"I don't want to turn a community asset, in the pond, into a storm water detention for future developers," said Lederer.
"This is just an information study," said Fremont. "The pond has a lot of sediment. We're talking about enhancing the pond."
Councilmember Gary Rasmussen said that a storm water detention pond would be a good idea, but it would be useful to know how to do it.
Lederer recommended the staff come back with more information about the option to turn Ashby Pond into a double-duty storm water detention facility.
OTHER WORK SESSION and meeting agenda items included:
* After working on ways to better enforce codes, City of Fairfax Police Chief Richard Rappoport said city staff came up with several ways to streamline and speed operations. A code enforcement team meets weekly to coordinate enforcement efforts between police and fire departments, said Rappoport, and on July 1 created a code enforcement hotline for neighbors to report violations.
Before, said Rappoport, the Department of Public Works cautiously worked through all the legal tape before fixing code violations themselves — most commonly, cutting someone's overgrown grass. Now, said Rappoport, the city assumes a "certain amount of risk" and just goes and does it themselves as soon as they can, a system that he said has been working well so far.
* A discussion of enhancements to the current real estate tax relief program available to elderly and disabled citizens in the city. Seniors can qualify based on two limits, assets and income, said David Hodgkins, assistant city manager. The city raised the asset limit to the state maximum of $340,000, allowing 25 percent more people to qualify for tax relief, he said, and is now considering raising the income limit from $52,000 to $72,000 as well. Councilmembers Joan Cross and Patrice Winter wanted to wait until the next budget cycle to apply the exemptions, while the other councilmembers decided to move forward with the project.
* A unanimous vote to authorize a Municipal Power Aggregation program, where the City of Fairfax can negotiate with power suppliers for a better price on behalf of its residents. The program will not be enacted, however, until wholesale energy prices go down, said Mary Edwards, representative for Dominion Virginia Power.

Below is a short bone conduction headphones review:
Ludwig Van Beethoven discovered bone conduction in 18th century. He was completely deaf. He was a famous composer and was completely deaf. Beethoven found an incredible solution to hear music through his jawbone by biting a road attached to his piano.
Bone conduction headphone works on the mechanism of bone conduction. In this mechanism sound waves are converted into vibrations, these vibrations bypass the outer and middle ear and reach cochlea directly without the involvement of eardrums through cheek bones, jaw bones or head bones.
Eardrums are extremely delicate and sensitive, they allow us to hear variety of noises. Hearing loud sounds for a long period can damage your eardrums and eventually it will cause permanent hearing loss, the condition gets worse as you get older.
Bone conduction headphone do not cover your ears, it leaves your ears free so you can be aware of what's going on in your surrounding while enjoying safer, high quality and risk-free music.
There are four types of hearing loss which are:
- Auditory processing disorders
- Conductive
- Sensorineural
- Mixed
Bone conduction technology only works for conductive hearing loss, it is ineffective for the rest of hearing disorders. It works like hearing aid for the people who are suffering from conductive hearing-impairment. It provides quality audio streams for the people who are almost completely deaf and for the people who are suffering from one-sided hearing loss.
One of the best bone conduction headphone for deaf is:
AfterShokz Trekz Titanium wireless bone conduction headphone:
- These headphones provide unique and extraordinary audio quality, no matter if you're in a noisy surrounding or resting.
- Sound waves are converted into vibrations and then they directly reaches to the internal ear and its off-centre feature is that it does not occupy your ear. It leaves your ear free.
- They definitely do not sound as good as regular headphones but they are not bad either, actually they provide good quality and safer audio.
People who want to enjoy their favorite playlist under water should consider bone conduction headphone as they provide better and safer medium to hear music. While swimming you don't have to worry about earphones slipping off because bone conduction headphone leaves your ears free, they get attached to your skull bone or cheek bone very tightly. You can wrap them around your neck or head very easily as they are light weight and handy.
Some of the best waterproof bone conduction headphones are:
- Audio bone
- Finis duo
- Beker
- It is available in variety of colors and Its weight is about 1.3 ounces.
- They are waterproof and are available in U-shape design. Their cost is about $190.
- It is an underwater MP3 player. Its cost is about $132
- It supports MP3 and WMA audio formats and has USB magnetic dock (having silver, circle shaped magnet) for data transfer and charging
- Beker is more like a speaker than headphones. Its cost is about $119.99
- It has 8GB memory, it can store up to 2000 songs.
Bone conduction headphone provides safer medium to hear your favorite playlist. But the fact is that they also cause some hearing disorders but these disorders are not as severe as the disorders caused by regular headphones. They definitely do not provide clearer and higher quality audio streams but they are not bad either.

Melissa Marotto is an international teaching artist and dance performer. She has worked with David Zambrano, Fighting Monkey's Jozef Frucek & Linda Kapetanea, and assisted Thomas Hauert/ZOO in Paris, Brussels and New York City. Melissa teaches Flying Low, a technique developed by David Zambrano of how to move in and out of the floor along with improvisation, partnering and acrobatics for children. She is a graduate of The Boston Conservatory, Walnut Hill School for the Arts, founder of Chrystie Street Ballet Academy in New York City and has recently moved to Boston, MA after living abroad in Brussels, Belgium for the last 4 years.
Class Description: Flying Low (modern/contemporary/floorwork)
This technique focuses mainly on the dancer's relationship to the floor. The class utilizes simple movement patterns that involve breathing, speed and the release of energy throughout the body in order to activate the relationship between the center and the joints, moving in and out of the ground more efficiently by maintaining a centered state. There is a focus on the skeletal structure that will help improve the dancers physical perception and alertness. The class includes partnering work and movement phrases, which explore the primary laws of physics: cohesion and expansion.

El Paso, Juarez and Lightning
April 24, 2009
Photographer: Chris L. Grohusko
Summary Author: Chris L. Grohusko, Greg Thompson
The photo above was captured during a thunderstorm near Juarez, Mexico, approximately 40 miles (64 km) from El Paso, Texas. This angry storm rolled through El Paso shortly after midnight on August 4, 2008. The camera is pointing straight south from a shopping center parking lot along Interstate 10. Because I didn't use a cable release, the city lights of El Paso and Juarez are blurred -- the shutter button was depressed manually.
As shown here, a huge cloud-to-ground bolt of lightning crashed to the surface not far from the camera position, while concomitantly, branching and arcing was noticeable between clouds. An interesting aspect of lightning that few people seem to realize is that most lightning bolts are really more than one flash/strike. The "main channel" of a lightning strike will often repeatedly flash two, ten or twenty or more times. Our brains tend to merge the many flashes into what we think is a single flash. Old movie/film cameras are a superb devices to capture the successive flashes.
Photo details: Samsung Maxima 90 GL camera, operating at maximum 90 mm lens length and 60 seconds time exposure; 200 speed Kodak Gold 35 mm film.

I stumbled upon this post...via twitter. For the most part, I completely agree with the 5 reason employees who tweet make better employees. Yes, I am a little biased since I am an employee that tweets and this reasoning just makes sense! If you are in a membership organization, I hope you see the value in adopting the same principles.
1. Tworkers are usually extroverts. They don't shy away from attention and they like showing off. They understand their roles as performers.
2. Tworkers are interested in being part of a community, one they help build. They care about people, and they're sharing and compassionate.
3. Tworkers are unafraid of trying new things, but not because something is a fad. They are always looking for a better way of doing things.
4. Tworkers have the ability to quickly make friends with strangers. They also know that what they say reflects upon them and their company.
5. Tworkers know how to express themselves concisely in plain English. They say what they mean. They get to the point without wasting words.
The author, Jay Shepard, uses tworkers as a twitter worker/employee. I doubt that I will adopt that, but it makes for the perfect 140 character tweet so I approve.

Dr. Barry Schwartz, is here to explain why more choices are making us miserable. Contrary to conventional thinking that we can make better choices when we have endless options his 2004 book "The Paradox of Choice," explains that instead of succumbing to the pressure of needing to make the best decision in every situation he is here to discuss the power of "good enough." Barry offers us both practical advice on how to navigate a world of endless choice, as well as gives us a fresh take on wisdom for the modern age. If you struggle with making decisions listening to Barry discuss his research and perspective may possibly have you walking away transformed because if "good enough" really does promise less anxiety and a more satisfied existence, then it is an option at least worth considering.

Celebrity spotting tips for TIFF
2 veteran celebrity watchers explain how best to catch a glimpse — or more — of stars at festival
Many movie stars will be attending the Toronto International Film Festival this month, but what are a fan's chances of getting anywhere near their favourite celebrity? We asked two avid star-spotters to weigh in.
Toronto blogger and celebrity watcher William Wong, who goes by the name Mr. Will-W. and runs the blog Mr. Will-W.: Pop Maven, says festivalgoers have plenty of opportunities to run into stars if they go about it the right way.
"The best shot is to go to premieres, to the red carpet," he said. "Show up two hours early, and you are guaranteed to see some stars."
Melissa Laszkiewicz, a veteran TIFF-goer and star-spotter, recommends getting to the premieres not two but three hours in advance.
"Get a spot at the gates, near the entrance where the [celebrities] will get on the red carpet," she says. "And pack a bag of snacks and water, so you don't lose your spot."
Mr. Will-W. and Laszkiewicz have been attending TIFF, and meeting their idols, for years. They have found ways to spot the stars and learned the etiquette for approaching them.
Perhaps the first image that leaps to mind when thinking of star-spotting is people campedutside of the Four Seasons Hotel, waiting for hours on end to catch a glimpse of a celebrity who may be staying there. But Mr. Will-W. advises against this strategy.
"It's a waste of time unless you are absolutely certain that the star is inside the hotel right [then]," he says. "Nowadays, it's easier to make guesses where the stars are. For example, you can Google 'Julianne Moore Toronto.' Somebody could have mentioned seeing her on Twitter."
Planning essential
Doing some research has become especially necessary since TIFF moved its headquarters downtown to the TIFF Bell Lightbox, its new headquarters in Toronto's theatre district, and began holding screenings there as well as at cinemas in different parts of town.
"In the past, everything used to happen in Yorkville, but now, things are more scattered," said Mr. Will-W. "They have moved to the entertainment district as well."
Nevertheless, there are still some areas where one is more likely to spot a star than others.
"There's a good chance you'll see someone at an intimate distance … a star hanging out in Yorkville or running errands on Bloor Street," says Laszkiewicz.
But no matter what your star-spotting strategy, it won't be cost that keeps you from seeing celebrities, said Mr. Will-W.
"TIFF prices are reasonable, even on gala tickets," he said. "And really, these tickets only guarantee you seeing the stars, not meeting them."
A common worry of celebrity spotters is that the celebrities will be in disguise — the usual big sunglasses and baseball caps. But for Mr. Will-W., this is rarely a challenge.
"If you are a fan of someone, there's no way you're not going to recognize them; it'll be pretty obvious," he says. "Sometimes, when I see a familiar face and I wonder, 'Is that the person?' I use my smartphone to look up pictures."
Most stars approachable
As for etiquette when meeting a star, Mr. Will-W. follows a simple mantra.
"Be nice; that is fail-proof," he said.
Most important, he recommends fans make clear what it is they want.
"Wave, smile, have something on you for the star to sign and wave that so that they see this is what you want," says Mr. Will-W.
And if you want to take a photograph, just ask.
"Some would be very nice about it," said Laszkiewicz. "I asked Ewan McGregor for a picture at a gala premiere. Not only did he pose with me, he also asked me after if the picture was good."
Most important of all, she says, be polite.
"Stars have all sorts of personalities and characters, but they are generally nice people," Laszkiewicz said. "There's no need to scream in their face or yell at them, 'I named my baby after you.' They'll look at you weird."
Laszkiewicz says fans shouldn't be wary of braving TIFF crowds to spot celebs because chances are your effort will be worth it.
"It's an opportunity for your moment in the spotlight," she says. "We get to experience a little of Hollywood in Toronto."
And for those who fear getting nervous or anxious at the prospects of actually talking to a star, Mr. Will-W. has a piece of advice.
"Just remember that they are normal people," he says. "Most of them will come to you when they see the [item to] autograph. They want to connect with their fan base.
"Stars have this air of mystery around them, but they're just here to do a job and to have fun."

Who is Jill? Jill Berry. A terrific artist, an author, and a very smart, funny lady. Both Susan and I have taken classes from her, learned a lot, and enjoyed the time in her classes. I told her about my Travelers and she thought that was a great idea so the next time I saw a garage sale I looked for a possible Jill. No, Jill's name wasn't on it, I added that. So whenever you see a train, look for Jill and wave.
You could also look for Brown Bear (he's on a different train).

It occured to me that the majority of my photographic revenue comes from two things:

I seem to be missing a third revenue stream that, with this post, I plan to remedy. Starting today, I will be placing some of my work available for sale to the public. Currrently, there is only one shot for sale, but as time goes on, I'll place more up for sale.
My first image for sale will be a landscape photo taken in McConnells Mill State Park in Pennsylvania.
This image can be found and purchased on SmugMug, or by clicking on the image above. SmugMug is safe and secure, and I've yet to have a single customer give anything but praise for their quality of prints. If you have any questions about purchasing a print, or suggestions for a print you would like to see made available, please don't hesitate to hit that contact link in the upper right-hand corner of the page!

Meticulously selected and imported roof tile, doors, and windows create an authentic aesthetic for the wine country home. Integral colored stucco walls with stone accents were used on the exterior, and French doors throughout the home lead to an outdoor terrace and pool with spectacular views of the rolling hillsides. The barn stores equipment for a vineyard and also provides for a vineyard manager's office.
